12 Ancient UFO Sightings As Seen On Earth

Aerial battle over Nuremberg April 4, 1561

While reading about UFOs, a while back, it stuck in my mind that on New Year's Day in 1254 the monks at St.Albans in England sighted 'a kind of ship flying' in the sky that was 'large, elegantly shaped and of a marvellous colour.' The UFO phenomenon isn't something new.

I thought, for a change therefore, I'd look at a dozen of the UFO visits from the distance past.

1504 BC: This is probably one of the earliest written accounts of a UFO - the following description is an excerpt from an Egyptian papyrus under the reign
of Thutmose III.

'In the year 22 ... sixth hour of the day ... the scribes of the House of Life found it was a circle of fire that was coming in the sky ... it had no head, the breath of its mouth had a foul odour. Its body one rod long and one rod wide. It had no voice ... Now after some days had passed, these things became more numerous in the skies than ever. They shone more in the sky than the brightness of the sun and extended to the four supports of the heavens ... Powerful was the position of the fire circles ... It was after supper. Thereupon these fire circles ascended higher in the sky towards
the south ... It was ordered by the Pharaoh to be written in the annals of the House of Life ... so that it be remembered for ever.'

500 BC: In the ancient Indian text Samarangana Sartradhara there is a description of piloted flying machines called vimanas. These were powered by some unknown source and they could 'carry death' to anywhere on earth.

216 BC: Julius Obsequens wrote in his book Prodigorium liber of how 'things like ships were seen in the sky over Italy ... At Apri a round shield was seen in the sky. At Capua, the sky was on fire, and one saw figures like ships.'

214 BC: This time in Italy at Hadria 'an altar in the sky' was seen

66 AD: The historian Pliny the Elder tells of a big spark as 'big as the moon' which fell from the sky - and then returned to the heavens. He also told of how 'a burning shield scattering sparks ran across the sky at sunset from east to west.'

584: St. Gregory, the bishop of Tours in France, recorded various sightings in his Historia Francorum.
'There appeared in the sky brilliant rays of light which seemed to cross and collide with one another.' He also described 'golden globes' which flashed at speed across the skies of France.

793: The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle reports, 'In this year terrible portents appeared in Northumbria (England) and miserably afflicted the inhabitants. These were exceptional flashing and lightning and fiery dragons seen flying through the air.'

1170: Roger Niger described 'a wonderfully large dragon' which was 'borne up from earth though the air. The air was kindled into fire by its motion and burned a house, reducing it and its outbuildings to ashes.' This was seen at Osyth, Essex,
England.

1180: In Japan something similar to a flying saucer was seen, though they described this as a flying 'earthenware vessel.' The object or UFO was heading in a northeast direction from a mountain in the Kii province. This suddenly changed direction and vanished below the horizon, leaving a luminous trail.

1290: The monks at Byland Abbey in Yorkshire spotted a 'large round silver disk' passing through the skies.

1561: This time the sighting was in Nuremberg in Germany where it was said that there was 'a very frightful spectacle.' During daylight glowing tubes, globes and crosses were seen in the sky and appeared to do battle. This lasted for an hour and some then fell to the earth as 'if on fire.' The image at the top of this post refers to this.

There are many, many other UFO sightings on record from the distant past. We sometimes seem to think of such things as a modern phenomena, probably starting with the Kenneth Arnold flying saucer stories from 1947. But very little in life is actually new - much has already been seen or experienced previously by past generations.

The 2011 Nissequogue Ufo Incident

(Before It's News)

Mooiste UFO-opnames van 2014; op de ontknoping in 2015 ( video )

Dit is uiteraard de periode waar mensen terugblikken op het jaar dat voorbij is en de bijzondere hoogtepunten ervan.

Wij blikken in die zin vandaag terug op de mooiste UFO waarnemingen van 2014.


Er zijn diverse fora en websites die de opname uit april van dit jaar in Maassluis, door Dick Smits, hebben uitgeroepen tot UFO opname van het jaar 2014.

Dat was ook inderdaad een hele bijzondere en nog wel in eigen land ook.

Tot op de dag van vandaag is er geen verklaring voor deze klassieke retro UFO die zich prominent liet filmen.

Voor ons is het meest spectaculaire op UFO gebied uit het afgelopen jaar dat er steeds meer bewijsmateriaal boven water komt waaruit blijkt dat wolken een cruciale rol spelen in het verbergen van moederschepen en/of funktioneren als dimensie-/sterrenpoorten.

Kunstmatige wolken schijnen te fungeren als een soort dimensiepoort, waarin UFO’s bijvoorbeeld met grote snelheid verdwijnen om er vervolgens niet meer uit te komen.

We hebben natuurlijk de prachtige en spectaculaire opname uit Mexico waar een sigaarvormige UFO met grote snelheid een wolk in schiet.

Er zijn het door hele afgelopen jaar prachtige opnames gemaakt, zoals de volgende die in januari werd gemaakt in Mexico en een prachtige formatie van zeven UFO’s laat zien.

Ook de volgende opname mag niet in het rijtje ontbreken. Gemaakt eveneens in januari in Brazilië en laat zien hoe een groot moederschip kleinere UFO’s dropt.

Dan natuurlijk de mysterieuze UFO in Houston afgelopen augustus. De vreemde lichten waarover de hele stad dagenlang sprak en waar nog steeds niemand een verklaring voor heeft kunnen vinden.

Of deze, genomen in september ergens langs de Baltische kust. Dit is werkelijk een prachtige opname, waarbij je UFO’s als het ware statig ziet afdalen in de zee.

Zo kunnen we lang doorgaan. En de wereld? Die ziet het allemaal gebeuren, kijkt ernaar en doet net alsof er helemaal niets afwijkends of onverklaarbaars voorvalt. Als we doen alsof het niet bestaat dan bestaat het ook niet.

Ondertussen worden de verschijningen prominenter en wie weet brengt het nieuwe jaar eindelijk de lang verwachte ontknoping.

Daar klinken wij de glazen op!

Veel geluk, wijsheid en gezondheid gewenst in 2015!

Enormous 5000 year old ancient underground city discovered in Turkey

An underground city newly discovered in Turkey’s Central Anatolian province of Nevşehir, which is located under the Nevşehir fortress and the surrounding area, may be the biggest archeological finding of 2014.

The city was discovered by means of Turkey’s Housing Development Administration’s (TOKİ) urban transformation project. Some 1,500 buildings were destructed located in and around the Nevşehir fortress, and the underground city was discovered when the earthmoving to construct new buildings had started.

“It is not a known underground city. Tunnel passages of seven kilometers are being discussed. We stopped the construction we were planning to do on these areas when an underground city was discovered,” said Turan to Aljazeera.com

The city is thought to date back 5,000 years and is located around the Nevşehir fortress. Escape galleries and hidden churches were discovered inside the underground city.

The newly discovered underground city will be the biggest among the other underground cities in Nevşehir that have been discovered so far and may be the world’s largest underground city.

UFO mania: Basiago and Eisenhower: "Marsgate" and the "Alternative 4" Dimension of Human...

They described how the secret Mars colony is funded by black budget military and intelligence sources as a survival mechanism for the human genome in the event that solar flares, nuclear war, or some other cataclysm ends human life on Earth.

In the wide-ranging, three-hour interview, Mr. Basiago termed the cover-up of the Mars colony “Marsgate” and called for a Congressional investigation of the U.S. presence on Mars, with its emphasis on military occupation rather than diplomatic engagement of the indigenous human society living in underground cities beneath the surface of Mars.

Ms. Eisenhower stated that “Alternative 3” – the notion that trillions of dollars of resources should be spent to protect human life by placing it on Mars – should give way to “Alternative 4,” a new public awakening to achieve a sustainable civilization on Earth.

Their historic, interactive exposé of Marsgate on Exopolitics Radio was based on direct personal experience.  For Mr. Basiago, this consisted of the two trips that he took to Mars in 1981, when, at age 19, he walked on the surface of the Martian terrain after teleporting there from a CIA facility in El Segundo, California.  

For Ms. Eisenhower, this consisted of clandestine efforts that were made in 2006, when she was 33, to infiltrate her personal life and recruit her as a member of the secret Mars colony.

She was recruited for a mission that would travel to Mars and learned that a colony had been under development there for several decades. It wasn't until later that she found the connection between the mission and the colony, in very significant ways.

During the interview, the two emerging figures in the Disclosure Movement discussed their opposition to factors guiding the secret Mars colony. These include fear, secrecy, psychological manipulation of recruits, and the abuse of quantum access technologies and other covert methods to identify potential colonists.  

Mr. Basiago speculated that the Mars colony is being staffed by individuals who descend from specific Aryan bloodlines that contain a Martian genetic substrate and that do not represent the genetic diversity of the entire human race on Earth.  Ms. Eisenhower, agreeing, also was exposed to and understood the archetypal aspects and significance of it. 

They suggested that this policy be reconsidered.  In various venues, Mr. Basiago, Ms. Eisenhower, and this reporter have advocated a treaty between Earth and Mars society that would establish a Mars protectorate and normalize diplomatic recognition and immigration between the two planets.

Following the interview, Mr. Basiago and Ms. Eisenhower issued a joint statement about human survival colonies on other planets.

"It is a positive thing for the human race to put survival colonies on other planets.  Earth has been struck by many cataclysms in the past, and so we should protect the human genome by placing human settlements on other celestial bodies.  

"Yet, when secrecy surrounding such projects tempts government to rob the free will of individuals, and excludes humanity from debating a subject that implicates the whole human future, and diverts the destiny of a planet to serve an off-planet agenda, the conscience of a free people requires that such projects be undertaken in the bright sunshine of public scrutiny, not within the dark corridors of the military-industrial complex." - Andrew D. Basiago and Laura Magdalene Eisenhower, 2010

Listen to Exopolitics Radio interview here.

Eyewitness evidence of the U.S. presence on Mars

With their joint disclosure, Mr. Basiago and Ms. Eisenhower – one a crusading lawyer, the other a member of one of America’s presidential families – joined a growing cadre of individuals who have stepped forward with eyewitness testimony that reveals the covert U.S. presence on Mars.  

These include Michael Relfe, who in two documented books describes his 20-year service (1976-1996) as a member of the U.S. armed forces staffing the secret Mars colony, and former DoD scientist Arthur Neumann, who has stated publicly that he has teleported to the secret Mars colony for project meetings.

1.  Michael Relfe:  Mars colony eyewitness Michael Relfe is a whistleblower and a former member of the U.S. armed forces who in 1976 was recruited as a permanent member of the secret Mars colony.  

In 1976 (Earth time), he teleported to the Mars colony and spent 20 years as a permanent member of its staff. In 1996 (Mars time), Mr. Relfe was time-traveled via teleportation and age-regressed 20 years, landing back at a U.S. military base in 1976 (Earth time).  Mr. Relfe then served six years in the U.S. military on Earth before being honorably discharged in 1982.

In a two-volume book authored by his wife, Stephanie Relfe, B.Sc., The Mars Records, Mr. Relfe describes the two types of individuals at the secret Mars colony:

“To clarify: Remember there are two kinds of people that I remember.

“1. People visiting Mars temporarily (politicians, etc.) – They travel to and from Mars by jump gate. They visit for a few weeks and return. They are not time traveled back. They are VIP's. They are OFF LIMITS!!

“2. Permanent staff – They spend 20 years’ duty cycle. At the end of their duty cycle, they are age reversed and time shot back to their space-time origin point. They are sent back with memories blocked. They are sent back to complete their destiny on Earth.”  (Vol. 2, p. 204)

Michael Relfe also discusses the presence and functions of Reptilian and Grey extraterrestrials at the secret Mars colony.

“EL: What about the Reptilians?

Michael Relfe: Yes. They are racially related (Draconians, Reptilians, Grays.)

EL: Do any Grays and Reptilians live on the Mars Base?

Michael Relfe: Yes, some are stationed there. I remember the Grays as doctors or technicians. I believe the Reptilians stay camouflaged (cloaked) most of the time. They prefer to appear human because they are naturally fierce-looking.” (Vol. 2, page 205)
2. Mars colony eyewitness Andrew D. Basiago is a whistleblower and a former child participant (1968-72) in the secret U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) time-space research and development program called Project Pegasus that involved gifted American school children in time travel.  

As a result of having teleported in Project Pegasus, Mr. Basiago was approached by CIA agent Courtney M. Hunt in 1981 and invited to visit Mars.  When Mr. Basiago asked Mr. Hunt why it was necessary for him to teleport to Mars, Mr. Hunt replied, cryptically, “Because the survival of the human race depends upon it.”

Mr. Basiago states that he was first teleported to Mars in July 1981 from a CIA facility in El Segundo, California.  He went via “jump room” and after arriving at an underground U.S. base spent about an hour on the Martian surface.  The second visit was made in August 1981 in the company of Mr. Hunt.  

Mr. Basiago describes how on the second trip, he and Mr. Hunt went for a quarter-mile walk on the desert-like terrain of Mars to visit one of the early Martian colonists, probably a CIA employee, living in a rudimentary stone cottage.  The colonist related how several of his fellow colonists had been lost to predators on the Martian surface, like the Martian land-based plesiosaur.

The testimony of Andrew D. Basiago as to intelligent Martian life both on and under the surface of Mars, it seems to me, is highly credible.  I have had the opportunity to interview, question and cross-examine Mr. Basiago closely over all aspects of his accounts regarding Project Pegasus and Mars since the year 2000.  

I have found his verbal and written accounts to be consistent and verified by available witness and documentary evidence, including written versions of his evidence that he has made available to me. 

As an attorney (a member of the District of Columbia bar) myself, I have found Mr. Basiago, who is a lawyer and graduate of UCLA and Cambridge universities, to be extremely conscientious in the execution of his duties as an officer of the court and a member of the bar of the State of Washington. He consistently tells the truth – even punctiliously so – and is a conscientious reporter of his experiences.

There are credible, corroborating academic, scientific, and U.S. intelligence witnesses to Mr. Basiago’s participation in Project Pegasus.

His account of life forms that he encountered on the Martian surface, including human-animal hybrids and plesiosaur-like creatures, is supported by images of such creatures that Mr. Basiago has identified in photographs from the surface of Mars taken by NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Spirit in the last several years and presented in over 60 writings that he has published at the website of the group that he founded, the Mars Anomaly Research Society (MARS).

3. Laura Magdalene Eisenhower – Ms. Eisenhower is a survivor of an attempted recruitment into the secret Mars colony in 2006-7.  She has documented her identity as great-granddaughter of President Dwight D. Eisenhower through her birth certificate and driver’s license.  

In 2007, her significant other and male partner, known as “Agent X,” broke down, took “apart all of the equipment (cell phones, computer batteries)” in their room, and admitted that he had been briefed and tasked by his associates to meet her at a cultural fair in a romantic guise with the true intent of recruiting her because of her social identity as an Eisenhower and spiritual identity as a divine feminine “Sophia.”  

Agent X’s associates may have used time travel or looking glass technology to pre-identify Ms. Eisenhower as a target for recruitment into the secret Mars colony.

Ms. Eisenhower writes:

“I only have my reaction in an email draft form, after he told me he was sent, nine months after knowing him. Here I am asking questions about why this would be so. I spoke to him in person about it and that is when I found out many things relating to my children and me. Here is a little excerpt from the email that was never sent...

“2007 - How did you know I was going to be at the gathering. I was the one who came and sat next to you? Did you then clue into the fact that I was who you were looking for? Did you have a description? Was finding me related to Magdalene or Eisenhower?  Are the people who want you to do missions aware of our connection?  Who is trying to harm us?  I have a hard time believing you knew all of this upon meeting me, it makes more sense that you would of found out after the fact..."

The surface corporate public infrastructure for the attempted recruitment of Ms. Eisenhower into a Mars colony project has been identified through “(1) A variety of technical documents relating to warp drive, plasma focus fusion, history of remote viewing and intelligence, the space industry and a new alternative fuel company; (2) A collection of emails describing 'Fleet EXODUS and Fleet DISCOVERY,' and that the project be kept highly confidential, especially from ET disclosure/Philadelphia project groups."

Ms. Eisenhower has written a statement which sets out her views on the Mars colony.  She says, “A little more of the background about this mission and how it is possible that it is connected to Sophia is described below in this quote taken from old emails in 2007 with Agent X.”

Ms. Eisenhower continues:  

“Something he calls the 'Patrons' communicated to Agent X about this mission. The word around the circle of people he knows – is that there are disturbances in the field and we need to be out of here in five years. He told me [and my associate] about the ships.

“The excerpt below is from an actual email that I have saved on file. He wrote this after she expressed interest about some projects in which he wanted her funding and planning assistance. She and I at the time were working on Earth mission projects both together and independently.”

In one email that Agent X sent to Ms. Eisenhower’s associate, he states, 

“Laura obviously has told you about our plans for an Exodus. The first Ark will be named Sophia. She will carry several hundred individuals to another planet, with eleven ships for escort and exploration. We have five and a half years to develop the Exodus fleet. To me the most telling song beyond what my 'Patrons' have told me is that the Looking Glass Project has never ever been able to look into the future beyond 2012."

Although Agent X has publicly written a statement denying what the above documentation clearly shows, at least one close former female companion of Agent X has written to confirm that public misogyny is part of Agent X’s modus operandi.  Ms. Eisenhower has chosen not to share the email, even though he publicly smeared her character.

This reporter has confirmed that Laura Magdalene Eisenhower is, in fact, who she says she is, the great-granddaughter of President Eisenhower, contrary to false claims circulating about that subject on certain Internet blogs.  The documents, document references, and emails made available to this reporter by Ms. Eisenhower and her associate appear to be genuine documents that are what they purport to be.  

In public interviews and private discussions with Ms. Eisenhower, she has sought one value above all others – commitment to the truth.  This commitment to the truth is what appears to have enabled Ms. Eisenhower to uncover the covert aspects of her attempted Mars colony recruitment, including its covert pre-targeting of her persona.

4.  Arthur Neumann - Mars colony eyewitness Arthur Neumann is a whistleblower who as a Project Camelot witness referred to himself as Henry Deacon and was formerly associated with a U.S. government agency.

On July 25, 2009, at the European Exopolitics Congress in Barcelona, Mr. Neumann stated publicly, “There is life on Mars. There are bases on Mars. I have been there.”  

The following day, Mr. Neumann participated in Futuretalk, a Project Camelot documentary interview, in which he provided details of his teleporting to a permanent Mars colony, and participating in a one-hour project meeting, which was also attended by representatives of an intelligent civilization that lives in cities under the surface of Mars. 

The July 26, 2009 Futuretalk interview during which Mr. Neumann spoke about the details of his teleportation to Mars for a one-hour project meeting attended by Martian humanoids at the secret Mars colony, was conducted by Bill Ryan and Kerry Cassidy of Project Camelot, with the participation of Robert Dean and Alfred Lambremont Webre.

Mr. Neumann’s verification of the existence of bases on Mars, and of having personally been to Mars, occurred at the end of Command Sgt. Major (USAF retired) Robert Dean’s presentation at the European Exopolitics Summit. 

During his presentation, Robert Dean showed satellite images of an apparent city under the surface of Mars, as well as an apparent base on the surface of Mars.  

This reporter has examined former DoD scientist Neumann’s official U.S. passport as a former U.S. DoD scientist and his National Security Agency retirement pamphlets, and has questioned him about his teleportation experience to Mars and project meeting with Martian humanoids on Mars.  

Mr. Neumann is an independent whistleblower who has made his account – of teleporting to Mars and meeting Martian extraterrestrials in a DoD-related project meeting on Mars – public at great personal cost.

He is a highly gifted and intelligent scientist, and in my questioning of him and his account, I found him to be honest and concluded that he is being truthful about his experiences and that it is reasonable to conclude that his account of his experiences on Mars is genuine.

Alternative 4 and the positive time line

Alternative 3 is the title of a motion picture that was to have premiered on April 1, 1977 in the United Kingdom. It later played only once in June 1977. 

“[In the motion picture] it was claimed that scientists had determined that the Earth's surface would be unable to support life for much longer, due to pollution leading to catastrophic climate change. It was proposed that there were three alternatives to this problem: the first involved the detonation of nuclear bombs in the stratosphere in order to allow the pollution to escape. 

“The second alternative was the construction of an elaborate underground city, a solution reminiscent of the finale of Dr. Strangelove [as in Deep Underground Military Bases or DUMBs]. The third alternative, the so-called "Alternative 3," was to populate Mars via a way station on the Moon.”

In their interview with Alfred Lambremont Webre, Mr. Basiago and Ms. Eisenhower discussed how a perceived need to escape solar system cataclysm or nuclear war while preserving the human genome is a factor driving the secret Mars colony.  

Underlying themes of Earth cataclysm and war seem to have led a breakaway military security apparatus to develop a plan to occupy Mars and the solar system covertly and through the manipulation of humanity’s free will. 

Although the 1977 British motion picture may have been a work of fiction or even a hoax, by the evidence, the Alternative 3 film appears to be referring to a real secret Mars colony.  Mr. Relfe indicates that he first arrived at the Mars colony in 1976 and Mr. Basiago states that he teleported to Mars in 1981, only four years after Alternative 3 was to have been released to the public.

Alternative 4

In the interview on Exopolitics Radio with Alfred Lambremont Webre, Ms. Eisenhower introduced the theme of “Alternative 4.”  This denotes a new dimension of human consciousness, one that breaks away from the dualistic reality of the permanent war economy. 

That economy’s ultimate expression seems to be a planet Earth destroyed by environmental pollution or war, solar or other natural catastrophe; meanwhile, a secret escape colony is prepared for a pre-selected sample of the human genome.

According to Ms. Eisenhower, “Alternative 4” means exposing Marsgate and the “Alternative 3” mentality that has led to the present cul-de-sac for humanity – an intentional living hell on Earth.  Alternative 4 means embracing a new, positive time line, in which Earth and humanity do not face cataclysm at pre-determined dates like 2012 (a Mayan calendar meme date) or 2442 (a secret Masonic meme date of 1776 + 666).

‘How I Empower the Positive Timeline’

Ms. Eisenhower writes: 

“I have endless thoughts and ideas, action plans and solutions and can link our ancient history, wisdom, divine blueprints and evolution into present time – knowing that a golden future is a result of us being able to harness our creative power and our highest potential through a deeper and more intimate knowledge of our roots and the hidden aspects of truth that are out there.

“I am aware of what it takes to reach our ultimate goals and protect the integrity of consciousness, and what is required of us to truly have freedom and justice in this world. I have access to technologies, plans and truths that can restore our planet and am connected to many who are already actively working on preventing Global Crisis and who are manifesting all the necessary change.

“I wish to draw attention to the things that are most important for our world right now and hope to steer our creative power into the causes, projects and understandings – that create the greatest shift both internally and externally.

“I have both practical, logical wisdom and a deep understanding of the esoteric, paranormal and mystical. With a wide range of interests and a vast education that was mostly self-taught, I am capable of uniting us and our missions and truly taking us on an adventure that captivates the soul, our deepest hopes and quest for answers. And I can help reunite us with what is most familiar and important for our awareness to grasp – as we transition into an age of Awakening...

“This is a false war – there are harmful technologies and we can stop these wars. We are all connected to the forces of nature and there are many who are doing work to stop this. This is why I am coming out. 

“Regardless of this story, the positive timeline must be empowered and any potential deceits, inhumane use of technology or doom scenarios must be addressed and looked at closely. This is because the only doom we are in for is the potential that we might be controlled and led to believe in things that play on our weakness and vulnerability, when in fact we may have nothing to fear at all.

“There is a lot of work that is ahead of us as we dismantle the technologies, dissolve the poisons and break free of the games and lies. There are agreements between lower alien races and humans and because of this things have gotten out of control.  Our universal allies must be recognized and we must mend the errors of the past through being the solution – rather than the product of their control and projections about our future.  

“Many are blind to the manipulative agenda, including certain presidents. Anytime we act out of fear, we have dug ourselves deeper into the false matrix.  When we act from wisdom and awareness of who we really are – we are agents of divine will, rather than part of the breeding doom scenarios that become a self-fulfilling prophecy, coupled with many forces that support that.  We also need to guard against false second-comings and recognize that it is our divine blueprint that is becoming illuminated.  We do not need to be rescued, just awakened.

“We have to fall back on our positive nature and higher selves to give our creative energy the fuel to break free.  We can do this!  We are the creators and dreamers. We can safely travel throughout space as well – with our freedom, divinity and spirit intact.”

Ms. Eisenhower quotes Caitlin Matthews: "Sophia is not a Goddess for women or men exclusively. She will give us a totality of wisdom, if we accept her for both the practical Earth wisdom of the Black Goddess and the transcendent cosmic wisdom of the World-Soul which are equally available to us."

CIA takes blame for more than half of UFO sightings in late 1950s and 60s

The CIA was responsible for more than half of all UFO sightings in the late 1950s and most of the 1960s — but those weren’t little green men flying high in the sky, they were spies.

For years, the CIA secretly flew its famous U-2 spy plane at altitudes of 60,000 feet or more above countries like the Soviet Union. Since no one believed manned flight was possible at such heights, many who spotted the planes believed they were seeing UFOs. The spy agency did nothing at the time to disabuse them of the notion.

That’s one of the most intriguing takeaways in the document that the Central Intelligence Agency said was its most-read in 2014. Titled “The CIA and the U-2 Program, 1954-1974,” the document details 20 years of the agency’s now infamous spy plane. A U-2 flown by the CIA’s Francis Gary Powers, of course, was shot down over the Soviet Union in 1960.

Alongside posts revealing that pigeon-camera missions are still classified; the true story behind the story that led to the hit film “Argo;” and others that made up the CIA’s best of 2014 list, the U2 document, which detailed how large numbers of pilots mistook the secret spy planes for unidentified flying objects, topped a list providing a rare — albeit limited — view into the inner workings of an agency under fire recently for its alleged use of torture.

Over the last few days, the CIA has been tweeting out links to its top ten most-read “BestOf2014” documents. Today, it confessed that “Reports of unusual activity in the skies in the ‘50s? It was us.”

High-altitude testing of the U-2…led to an unexpected side effect — a tremendous increase in reports of unidentified flying objects,” the CIA wrote in the document, which it wrote in 1998. “In the mid-1950s, most commercial airliners flew at altitudes between 10,000 and 20,000 feet and [many] military aircraft…operated at altitudes below 40,000 feet. Consequently, once U-2s started flying at altitudes above 60,000 feet, air-traffic controllers began receiving increasing numbers of UFO reports.”

Added the document, the CIA cross-referenced UFO sightings to U-2 flight logs. “This enabled the investigators to eliminate the majority of the UFO reports,” the CIA wrote, “although they could not reveal to the letter writers the true cause of the UFO sightings.”

Pigeon camera missions

The CIA’s full 2014 top-ten list covers a wide variety of topics, including a 90th birthday wish to former U.S. President (and former CIA director) George H.W. Bush; the fact that the spy agency created a line of china for a fake airline during the Cold War; and an innovative system for rescuing soldiers and downed airmen from hostile territory, known as Skyhook.

Amusingly, the list also admits that the CIA used to conduct surveillance by strapping special cameras to the breasts of pigeons, and that “details of pigeon missions are still classified.”

Still, the CIA allowed that its Office of Research and Development had built a camera that could be strapped to the birds’ bodies, and then, “with the camera running, the bird would fly over a target on its return home. Being a common species, the pigeon concealed its role as an intelligence-collection platform among the activities of thousands of other birds. Pigeon imagery was taken within hundreds of feet of the targets, so it was much more detailed than imagery from other…platforms.”

One can hardly read about the missions without thinking about other great moments in pigeon history — such as Google’s 2002 April Fools’ Day joke, Pigeonrank, said to be a new system for accurately ranking search results.

Day in the life of a CIA Operations Center Officer

Sadly, the CIA did not take the opportunity to be forthcoming about its inner workings to actually be all that forthcoming. The number two item on the list, a look at a typical day of a CIA Operations Center Officer, sounds promising, and offers a few juicy tidbits, but ultimately leaves one wanting more.

Still, readers probably don’t expect the agency to pull back its kimono too much, and so most likely won’t be too disappointed by what they find. And those tidbits can be fun, and even informative.

Operations Center officers provide the agency’s leaders 24/7 alerts on crucial national security issues and global crises. “While many CIA officers become subject matter experts on specific topics,” the document explains, “Ops Center officers address world-wide political, military and economic issues daily, and they use a wide range of analytic and operational knowledge to support the Agency’s mission at home and abroad.”

More tellingly, the article hints at the career path someone wanting to be an Ops Center officer might want to follow. “Bradley,” the officer profiled in the document, earned a double major in world religions and politics and government, as well as a minor in national security studies, and subsequently worked simultaneously as a police officer and dispatcher, a resort manager, as the executive direction of a national security think tank, as a newspaper columnist, and as a freelance marketing consultant.

As if that wasn’t enough, he then went to graduate school. Finally, he went to work at the CIA’s Center for Studies in Intelligence, where he interviewed 9/11 Commission and Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission participants about how they worked with the CIA.

In the end, though, there’s nothing in the agency’s top-ten list quite as intriguing as the gleam-in-the-eye acknowledgement that it was for year responsible for greater than half of the world’s UFO sightings. One can only wonder whether the camera-toting pigeons were also once-upon-a-time considered UFOs by those who happened to catch a glimpse of something no one would tell the truth about for years.

Bizarre: Ancient Civilization On Mars Was Wiped Out By Nuke-Wielding Aliens, Says Physicist

(Before It's News)

Ethan A. Huff

(NaturalNews) Could the reason that life on Mars no longer exists, at least from what we know, be that it was destroyed by an alien race using advanced nuclear weapons systems? This is the postulation of plasma physicist Dr. John Brandenburg, who recently published a study suggesting that two races of beings, the Cydonians and the Utopians, were killed off in dual nuclear explosions that left Mars in the state we currently observe it today.

At some point in the past, says Dr. Brandenburg, the climate of Mars was similar to that of Earth, with all sorts of diverse animal and plant life. As far as intelligent life, beings with knowledge roughly equivalent to the ancient Egyptians here on Earth flourished in multiple regions of the planet, which was also likely a different color from the red we see now.

Radioactive elements, Xenon-129 found on Mars surface and in atmosphere

But everything changed when alien invaders decided to launch their own large-scale versions of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by dropping nuclear bombs on the two major races, wiping them out completely. Now, traces of uranium and thorium, two radioactive elements, linger on the surface of Mars while Xenon-129 persists in the Martian atmosphere.

“The Martian surface is covered with a thin layer of radioactive substances including uranium, thorium and radioactive potassium – and this pattern radiates from a hot spot on Mars,” says Dr. Brandenburg. “A nuclear explosion could have sent debris all around the planet.”

Ancient artifacts point to past life on Mars

As crazy as it might sound, Dr. Brandenburg is fully convinced that his theory is true despite strong opposition from others within his field who insist that these trace radioactive elements are normal. His latest paper suggests that these elements closely resemble those that linger following hydrogen bomb tests, and that they aren’t typical.

Beyond this, Dr. Brandenburg says there's more than just radioactive residue to back his hypothesis. Images captured by NASA spacecraft suggest that there's also plenty of archaeological evidence of prior life on Mars, including the so-called "face on Mars," which he purports is an ancient artifact left behind by the alien races.

"Analysis of new images from Odyssey, MRO and Mars Express orbiters now show strong evidence of eroded archaeological objects at these sites," reads an abstract of his paper. "Taken together, the data requires that the hypothesis of Mars as the site of an ancient planetary nuclear massacre, must now be considered."

Entitled Evidence of Massive Thermonuclear Explosions in Mars Past, The Cydonian Hypothesis, and Fermi's Paradox, Dr. Brandenburg's extensive research on the topic was the subject of a recent speech he gave at the 2014 Annual Fall Meeting of the American Physical Society in Illinois. He's also set to publish his findings in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics.

Earth could be next, says Dr. Brandenburg

More than just a vain philosophy proposing past life on other planets, Dr. Brandenburg's research has present implications for humans as well. The possibility of alien life attacking planet Earth, he says, shouldn't be ruled out. But in order to correctly ascertain this potential threat, further roving of Mars' surface is necessary.

"Providentially, we are forewarned of this possible aspect of the cosmos," he wrote in a paper. "The author therefore advocates that a human mission to Mars is mounted immediately to maximize knowledge of what occurred."

Canadian witness says cigar UFO disappeared in white cloud

(Before It's News)

openminds.tv

The Wyoming, Ontario witness stated that the object had no wings; no tail section; no sound and maintained a level altitude and moderately slow speed. Pictured: Wyoming, Ontario. (Credit: Google)

A Canadian witness at Wyoming, Ontario, reported watching “an extremely long, silver, cigar-shaped” UFO about 4:30 p.m. on December 29, 2014, according to testimony in Case 62224 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness said the object was extremely long and was headed toward Sarnia, Ontario. Pictured: Wyoming, Ontario. (Credit: Google)

The witness was outside in the backyard with a dog when the object was first noticed.

“It was definitely not a blimp,” the witness stated. “Too thin; longer than a Boeing 767-300; no lower ‘navigation basket/viewing’ area; extremely long, thin, cigar shape. No wings; no tail section; no sound and maintained level altitude and moderately slow speed.”

The witness described the object’s direction.

“Headed towards Sarnia, Ontario, but when it went into a white cloud, it did not come out of the other side of the cloud. It was silver and the sunlight reflected off of it.”

The witness watched as the cigar-shaped object moved into a cloud, but did not come out the other side about 4:30 p.m. on December 29, 2014. Pictured: Wyoming, Ontario. (Credit: Google)

The witness was unable to photograph the object.

We previously reported that a Canadian business jet pilot approaching Springbank Airport just west of Calgary, Alberta, reported watching a cigar-shaped UFO flying low to the ground about mid-morning on December 17, 2014, according to testimony in Case 62198.

Wyoming has a population of 2,333. 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.

Daytime Orb & UFO Filmed Through Telescope  (Video)

(Before It's News)

(N.Morgan) Our friend and fellow researcher, Crrow777 has captured an amazing event, it appears and orb and UFO passed his telescope during the daytime hours. The objects in this clip were shot during daytime filming of the moon. Crrow777 was panning the scope to track chemplanes as he saw them and that was how he filmed the second object in this clip. The first object may be one of those white orbs he film near chemtrails but it is hard to know for sure.

These sightings seem to be increasing, even during the daytime hours.

These sightings during the day also seem to coincide with chemtrail spraying. I’ve wondered if the chemtrails enable these craft to fly easier or if they somehow benefit from the aluminum in the chemtrails.

Two-mile-high structures rising on Saturn's rings

Expand1

Someone on Reddit posted this old November 2010 image by the Cassini spacecraft. It shows 2-mile-high (3.5-kilometer) structures rising on Saturn's B ring's outer edge. We talked about this back then, but it's a great peg to show this cool artist impression of what it would look like from the ring itself:Expand2

Another finding from new images of the B ring's outer edge was the presence of at least two perturbed regions, including a long arc of narrow, shadow-casting peaks as high as 3.5 kilometers (2 miles) above the ring plane. The areas are likely populated with small moons that might have migrated across the outer part of the B ring in the past and got trapped in a zone affected by the moon Mimas' gravity. This process is commonly believed to have configured the present-day solar system.

This time-lapse video captured by Cassini gives you an idea of how the small moon's gravity affects the ring edge:

And since we are at it, enjoy the latest stunning images from Saturn from the Cassini spacecraft:

Expand

Saturn is circled by its rings (seen nearly edge-on in this image), as well as by the moons Tethys (the large bright body near the lower right hand corner of this image) and Mimas (seen as a slight crescent against Saturn's disk above the rings, at about 4 o'clock). The shadows of the rings, each ringlet delicately recorded across Saturn's face, also circle around Saturn's south pole.

Although the rings and larger moons of Saturn mostly orbit very near the planet's equatorial plane, this image shows that they do not all lie precisely in the orbital plane. Part of the reason that Mimas (246 miles, or 396 kilometers across) and Tethys (660 miles, or 1062 kilometers across) appear above and below the ring plane because their orbits are slightly inclined (about 1 to 1.5 degrees) relative to the rings.

This view looks toward the sunlit side of the rings from slightly above the ringplane. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on Aug. 14, 2014.

The view was obtained at a distance of approximately 1.1 million miles (1.7 million kilometers) from Saturn and at a Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 23 degrees. Image scale is 63 miles (102 kilometers) per pixel.

Expand4

What the viewer might perceive to be Saturn's surface is really just the tops of its uppermost cloud layers. Everything we see is the result of fluid dynamics. Astronomers study Saturn's cloud dynamics in part to test and improve our understanding of fluid flows. Hopefully, what we learn will be useful for understanding our own atmosphere and that of other planetary bodies.

This view looks toward the sunlit side of the rings from about 25 degrees above the ringplane. The image was taken in red light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Aug. 23, 2014.

The view was obtained at a distance of approximately 1.1 million miles (1.7 million kilometers) from Saturn and at a Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 23 degrees. Image scale is 63 miles (102 kilometers) per pixel.

Expand

Saturn's main rings, seen here on their "lit" face, appear much darker than normal. That's because they tend to scatter light back toward its source — in this case, the Sun.

Usually, when taking images of the rings in geometries like this, exposures times are increased to make the rings more visible. Here, the requirement to not over-expose Saturn's lit crescent reveals just how dark the rings actually become. Scientists are interested in images in this sunward-facing ("high phase") geometry because the way that the rings scatter sunlight can tell us much about the ring particles' physical make-up.

This view looks toward the sunlit side of the rings from about 6 degrees above the ringplane. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on Jan. 12, 2014.

The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 1.4 million miles (2.3 million kilometers) from Saturn and at a Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 152 degrees. Image scale is 86 miles (138 kilometers) per pixel.

Expand

Although solid-looking in many images, Saturn's rings are actually translucent. In this picture, we can glimpse the shadow of the rings on the planet through (and below) the A and C rings themselves, towards the lower right hand corner.

For centuries people have studied Saturn's rings, but questions about the structure and composition of the rings lingered. It was only in 1857 when the physicist James Clerk Maxwell demonstrated that the rings must be composed of many small particles and not solid rings around the planet, and not until the 1970s that spectroscopic evidence definitively showed that the rings are composed mostly of water ice.

This view looks toward the sunlit side of the rings from about 17 degrees above the ringplane. The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on Aug. 12, 2014 in near-infrared light centered at 752 nanometers.

The view was obtained at a distance of approximately 1.4 million miles (2.3 million kilometers) from Saturn and at a Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 24 degrees. Image scale is 85 miles (136 kilometers) per pixel.

I don't know about you, but all these photos taken by a camera 746 million miles (1.2 billion kilometers) away from us blow me away.

Large circular 'cloaked' object photographed over Denver, CO

Case 1. Circular cloaked object and greenish object over Denver, Co

Witness report: "My wife and I were driving South on I-25 from Denver to Lone Tree, CO. US on November 17, 2014. I noticed two circular, large objects at very high altitude. They appeared to be moving slowly East."

"I asked my wife to take photos of the objects, but not through the windshield. She used her iPhone 5S to take several (6-10) photos holding the phone outside of the passenger window facing the phone South."

"Unfortunately, she deleted most of them after we got home because they were not good shots of the sky (she thought I wanted pictures of the "pretty" clouds)."

"The one remaining shot did not reveal the orange objects that I saw, but a greenish object in the upper right portion of the photo." Mufon case 62218.

Editor's note: the large circular object could be a lenticular cloud or a so-called UFO-cloud, but it remains a question whether it is a cloaked UFO or not.

Case 2. Accidental observation photographing sunset Tucson AZ, US

Canadian pilot reports UFO near ground level

A Canadian business jet pilot approaching Springbank Airport just west of Calgary reported watching a cigar-shaped UFO flying low to the ground, according to testimony in Case 62198 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The pilot was approaching the airport about mid morning on December 17, 2014, when the object was first noticed.

“Approaching from the north, I was approximately 10 miles north of Cochrane flying parallel to and a couple miles west of Highway 22 and descending through 8,500-feet above sea level or about 4,500 -feet above the ground,” the witness stated. “It was a bright, sunny morning and I was just looking at the scenery when I spotted a black object along the highway, maybe two miles ahead of me that was moving fast northbound, towards me.”

The pilot first thought the object was a fast car and decided to time it to see how fast it was moving.

“After looking at it for a few seconds, I thought I would time it along the section lines on the ground and calculate a speed of this very fast car. Within a few seconds I realized that what I thought was going to be a Corvette, in fact, was a flat black colored, tubular object that was flying low level over the highway. It was cigar-shaped and not flying with the end of the cigar pointing forward but perpendicular with the long edge in the direction of flight.”

The pilot was actually getting closer to the object.

“As I was flying south at some 230 knots and the object was coming towards me, the whole encounter happened fast, but fortunately I was getting closer and could get a better look at the craft.”

The pilot got a good look at the object.

“As I came above the object, it was wider than the road and difficult to estimate the height, but probably within a couple hundred feet of the ground.”

The pilot was approaching Calgary and was approximately 10 miles north of Cochrane flying parallel to and a couple miles west of Highway 22 when the cigar-shaped object was seen under 200 feet off of the ground. (Credit: Google)

The pilot was then surprised to see the object disappear.

“Then maybe stranger than actually seeing this object, as it was nearest my position directly off my left wingtip, it vanished within one-half a second. It quickly turned translucent where I could see a blurred image of the field and road through it while it had a darker edge along the outline of the craft. The object very quickly appeared clearer and within a fraction of a second it disappeared from view.”

The pilot scanned the ground area trying to locate the object again.

“I had no idea what I had seen and scanned the area around the track the object was flying, thinking maybe it was the top of a wing of a pipeline patrol aircraft that I had seen, and that maybe the aircraft banked and I lost sight of it. Scanning the area it never reappeared.”

The pilot then used instrumentation to locate other aircraft in his area.

“I looked at the TCAS (traffic collision avoidance system) display in the cockpit that shows all the aircraft that are being interrogated by ATC radar in the area. And although there were many other aircraft to the south and west, there was nothing on the display near me.”

The pilot attempted to judge the size of the object.

“Looking back towards where I last saw the object, I noticed cars on the road heading south and this helped judge the size and speed of the object compared to a ‘known ground based object.’ The cars were both much smaller and slower than the object and were within a mile of it when it disappeared. The drivers may have seen the same phenomena. I estimate the object as between 50 -80 feet in length and 15-20 feet wide.”

The pilot was just a few miles west of Route 22, pictured, north of Cochrane when the object was spotted moving close to ground level. (Credit: Google)

The pilot also tried to estimate the object’s speed.

“It moved on a steady track and at a constant speed. I mentally timed it at crossing a half-mile in under 12 seconds or around 160 mph, a speed not particularly fast for a small airplane, but faster than what patrol aircraft use when flying low level.”

He described the object.

“There were no discernible markings, windows, lights, or other features. Just a flat black, rectangular cigar-shaped object. The entire encounter was at the most 30 seconds long as the closing speed on the object was in the neighborhood of 400 mph.”

There were no other witnesses aboard the pilot’s aircraft.

“There were several passengers on the aircraft, but they were concentrating on a conversation in the aircraft. I doubt anyone saw the object and I didn’t ask as I enjoy my job. Likewise, as the object never showed on my TCAS, there wasn’t much point in asking ATC if they noticed anything. Besides it had disappeared at that point.”

The pilot compared the sighting to other experiences.

“On a side note, as a pilot with 30 years of experience, I have seen sights and objects which I could always dismiss as meteors, cloud formations, atmospheric phenomena such as inversions, other aircraft, satellites, etc. Even if this object had kept its track, I may have been passed off as some type of UAV, however, as I witnessed from a relatively close range the disappearance of the object, I have no doubt it was something that is either cutting edge top secret military tech or something that I have no explanation of.”

Calgary/Springbank Airport or Springbank Airport, is an airport located in Springbank, Alberta, a large western suburb of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The airport is located within rural Rocky View County.

Sterrenkunde Vanaf 2015 geldt 30 juni als internationale Asteroid Awareness Day. De Toengoeska-explosie in in Siberië in 1908 wordt dan herdacht, en wetenschappers wereldwijd roepen op voor meer onderzoek om asteroïde-inslagen te voorkomen.

"Niemand weet wanneer de volgende grote asteroïde zal inslaan. En één is genoeg." Queen-gitarist Brian May, sinds enkele jaren ook gediplomeerd sterrenkundige, stelde het project 'Asteroid Day' begin deze maand officieel voor. Een grootschalige campagne moet de wereld bewust maken van het gevaar van asteroïden en kometen.

Er is dringend meer onderzoek nodig om verrassingen zoals die in Toengoeska te vermijden, waarschuwt May. In 1908 vond daar een gigantische explosie - vermoedelijk van een meteoriet - plaats die tot 200 kilometer in de omtrek voelbaar was. In het dunbevolkte Siberische gebied veroorzaakte de meteoriet gelukkig weinig menselijk leed, maar elders was de schade enorm geweest. "We kennen momenteel maar één procent van alle objecten vergelijkbaar met die van Toengoeska", zegt May.
