UFO sighting above Ru¨e, Slovenia on 1st January 2015
UFO sighting above Ruše, Slovenia on 1st January 2015
New interesting video footage of two glowing UFO lights recorded in the night sky above Ruše, Slovenia on 1st January 2015 at 01:00 AM.
2015 UFO sightings – The number of UFO sightings is always at peak during New Year’s Eve because of a lot of Chinese lanterns being freed up and also of the fact that many people lookup in the sky.
During the time when most people were excited to start or celebrate their New Year with a bang, someone caught a fantastic apparition that looks like little green men observing at spectacular fireworks display in London.
Posted on YouTube, the video of the UFO receives several reactions. One commenter said that it is not uncommon for little green men to be curious about the lights and electricity here on Earth.
Others, however, suggested that the unknown aerial vehicle was, in fact, a camera drone. Many also seemed to say that it is more of a shade than a craft with green men onboard from Proxima Centauri.
The BBC has no official comment yet for the UFO sighting.
Author of the “UFOs of the First World War,” Nigel Watson (Amazon link), said that whatever the identity of the aerial object, whether a UFO or a camera drone, it still caught the attention of many people despite all the beautiful display of fireworks around it. Watson proposed to launch a fleet of drones in future New Year celebrations as they seem to catch more attention than traditional fireworks.
Here’s one interesting UFO video of a bright lights hovering in the night sky above Iquique, a port city and commune in northern Chile. This was taken on Wednesday, 31st December 2014.
Crop Circles Appear During Christmas Eve In Mexico
Crop Circles Appear During Christmas Eve In Mexico
The municipality of Texcoco, Mexico had been visited by aliens with the appearance of crop circles on Christmas Eve, according to some UFO and alien believers. The so-called alien work is attracting hundreds of people who are coming to the site.
However, the crop circle patterns are not that perfect when compared to the ones that have formed in other parts of the world. So, people are now joking online, particularly in social media, that drunken ETs made them.
A few of the locals in rural community in the Texcoco municipality came forward saying that they saw mysterious brilliant lights in the overcast sky on Christmas Eve, with unknown figures lurking in the field of crops, Russia Today reported.
Some people who observed the strange activity in the field went to the site on the morning of Christmas Day and saw the crop patterns. El Universal, a Mexican newspaper, reported that locals contacted police to report the presence of extraterrestrials in farming areas and several figures in the crops.
Mexican police officers still clueless on the culprit and many theories have emerged from different sources as to who designed the crop patterns. Mexican Tiempo website says one of the popular theories is that alien visitors in UFOs created the mysterious patterns.
But Mexican social media are filled with a joke that the designs were made by aliens that had been drinking because of their irregular shape.
Some also believe that mythical creatures known as chupacabras or goat suckers were responsible for the crop circles.
Meanwhile, scientific-minded people also could not explain how winds or even pranksters could have been created such patterns in the Christmas season.

Phoenix, OR – 1/1/2015 3 amber/orange lights appeared to the south of where we were (near Pioneer Rd & Coleman Creek) over Talent OR. 1 LG light in between 2 smaller ones. We thought that it was strange because there are no scheduled flights at that time , the lights were amber and there were 3. Then the craft stopped, turned to the west and hovered silently for approx. 45 seconds. It appeared to be octagon shaped with light beams coming from each point. It excellerated to the east and upwards very quickly disappeared. There were 8 of us. Most phones went dead. The one that didn’t would not function properly so we have no photographic proof.

Kapolei, Hawaii – December 27, 2014 While we were driving home, we noticed a bright looking star like object in the sky. My 7 year old daughter had seen this before but only makes comments when it looks unusual. At first, it looked like an airplane with flashing lights but it didn’t move left or right or got bigger or smaller. It stayed pretty stationary. As we drove closer, we knew it was not a star or an airplane. It looked like a planet. I was able to take a picture of it and when I got home, I sent the picture from my phone to my email so I could adjust it on my computer. I adjusted the contrast, brightness and tone and was surprised to see a very distinct square shape that if you thought you were looking at it side view, it looked like a star trek ship except the body was square other wise it looked like a tank. I would love to share the photo’s with you and get your opinion. If it was a star, I have never seen it that close and that bright right at sunset in the location in the sky. It was definitely

'Whale Rock' on Mars Shows Signs of Ancient Lake (Photo)
'Whale Rock' on Mars Shows Signs of Ancient Lake (Photo)
This view from the Mast Camera on NASA's Mars rover Curiosity of "Whale Rock" at the base of Mount Sharp, taken on Nov. 2, 2014, shows an example of cross-bedding that results from water passing over a loose bed of sediment.
credit : NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS
The motion of water on the bottom of an ancient Martian lake is frozen in time in a stunning new photo by NASA's Curiosity rover.
The 'Whale Rock' of Mars shows a geological phenomenon known as "cross-bedding" inside part of an outcrop at the base of Mount Sharp, a mountain that rises 3.4 miles (5.5 kilometers) into the sky from the center of Mars' huge Gale Crater.
"The cross-bedding — evident as layers at angles to each other — reflects formation and passage of waves of sand, one on top of the other. These are known as ripples, or dunes," NASA officials wrote in a description of the image, which was taken on Nov. 2 and released on Monday (Dec. 8).
"The direction of migration of these small ripples and dunes was toward the southeast. That direction is toward Mount Sharp and away from the area where Curiosity found evidence of delta deposits where a stream entered a lake," they added. "The directional flows recorded in the sediments are interpreted to have formed by currents moving down the deltas and into deeper lake water."
The ripples' direction strongly suggests that Mount Sharp did not exist — at least not in its present, towering form — when the Whale Rock sediments were laid down, Curiosity scientists said on Monday during a press conference discussing the ancient Gale Crater lake.
Water should have flowed downhill to the north, away from Mount Sharp, they noted. It's therefore likely that runoff into the lake gradually built up a giant mound, which Martian winds subsequently carved into Mount Sharp.
The car-size Curiosity rover has been exploring the 96-mile-wide (154 km) Gale Crater since touching down in August 2012. The robot spent its first year on Mars near its landing site, finding that a spot called Yellowknife Bay could have supported microbial life long ago. Curiosity departed for the foothills of Mount Sharp — the rover's ultimate science destination — in July 2013 and finished the long trek this past September.

UFO mania: GOOGLE EARTH REVEALS STRANGE ANTARCTIC ENTRANCES – EVIDENCE OF SECRET UFO BASES?
UFO mania: GOOGLE EARTH REVEALS STRANGE ANTARCTIC ENTRANCES – EVIDENCE OF SECRET UFO BASES?
On Google Earth one can find two large entrances that extend below the Antarctic surface and ice near the coastline. For some observers, they are natural caverns formed over time by the intense Antarctic weather conditions. Not so according to Scott Waring owner of the popular UFO Sightings blog. In a post, Waring claimed that they might be entrances to an alien base or a secret facility of some kind. He highlighted a video containing close-ups of the two large entrances. In the video, there is also an image of what Waring believes to be a huge saucer shaped object buried under melting ice near Antarctica. While there is no Google Earth image available of the mysterious buried UFO, the cave/base entrances are available for independent analysis. If the latter are indeed entrances to underground bases, then it would appear that claims that UFOs have bases in Antarctica, and may have even helped fleeing World War II Nazis escape a punitive U.S. Naval expedition, are not so far-fetched after all.
Let’s begin by examining the two large entrances discovered on Google Earth which are highlighted in a Youtube video uploaded on June 8 by Stephen Hannard showing various angles of the entrances. These entrances are available for independent confirmation at the following Google Earth coordinates (-66° 36′ 12.58″, +99° 43′ 12.72″ and -66° 36′ 12.58″, +99° 43′ 12.72″) They show entrances into the rocky underground. The first is approximately 30 meters high and 90 meters across. The video also shows a UFO allegedly found by Google Earth, but it is claimed that the image was removed and is no longer available.
According to Waring in his blog post:
Very interesting and intriguing images from Google Earth, which seem to show two possible entrances to an alien base or at least an entrance to something, and a huge saucer shaped object buried in the ice. If there are Alien bases in the Antarctic it would follow that there are ET craft their also.
Waring’s comments appear to accept a connection between the two large entrances and the alleged crashed UFO found in melting ice on South Sandwich Islands. The video shows no obvious connection other than all were allegedly discovered using Google Earth – the UFO, as mentioned earlier, is no longer available for independent confirmation. There is no independent confirmation that the UFO is genuine.
Nevertheless, the two entrances are clearly genuine and immediately raise the question over their artificiality. According to Hannard’s Youtube video, one of the entrances looks as though it has a metal canopy or dome covering it. This suggests that it is artificial. So if one or both of the entrances are artificial, then who built them? Are they recent, or some artifact from a bygone age when Antarctica was not covered by ice. Interestingly, the famous Piri Reis map show Antarctica without ice suggesting that its ice sheets are a geologically recent phenomenon.
One intriguing possibility is that the entrances are related to post-World War II events related to an alleged NAZI exodus to Antarctica, and a brief military confrontation between the US Navy and UFOs based under or near Antarctica.
An extraordinary 2006 Russian documentary revealed new information about the US Navy Antarctica expedition of 1946/47 – Operation Highjump. The Naval expedition was headed by famed polar explore Admiral Richard Byrd whose expedition ended after only 8 weeks with “many fatalities” according to initial news reports. Rather than deny the heavy casualty reports, Admiral Byrd revealed in a press interview in Chile that his Task Force had encountered a new enemy that “could fly from pole to pole at incredible speeds.”
After the Soviet collapse in 1991, the KGB released previously classified files that cast light on Operation Highjump. A 2006 Russian documentary made public for the first time a 1947 secret Soviet intelligence report commissioned by Joseph Stalin of the Operation Highjump mission to Antarctica. The intelligence report, gathered from Soviet spies embedded in the US, revealed that the US Navy had sent the military expedition to find and destroy a hidden Nazi base. On the way, they encountered a mysterious UFO force that attacked the military expedition destroying several ships and a significant number of planes. Indeed, Operation Highjump had suffered “many casualties” as stated in initial press reports from Chile. While there is a possibility the report resulted from US disinformation fed to a known Soviet mole, the more likely explanation is that the report exposes the first known historical incident involving a battle between US naval forces and an unknown UFO force stationed in underground facilities in or near Antarctica.
The mysterious entrances found in Antarctica by Google Earth may be nothing more than naturally formed entrances into caverns that extend under the Antarctic surface and ice. The entrances, on the other hand, may be artificially constructed entrances into underground UFO bases. If the latter option is correct, then perhaps we have an historical answer to where the mysterious UFO forces came from that attacked Admiral Byrd’s Operation Highjump expedition in early 1947.

UFO in Apollo Missions' Archived Photos Suggest Aliens May Have Been Watching Astronauts
UFO in Apollo Missions' Archived Photos Suggest Aliens May Have Been Watching Astronauts
Moon exploration will remain one of the biggest achievements by humans in the field of science. But were the astronauts being observed by aliens? Yes, suggests one of the archived photos of the Apollo missions.
The first Apollo mission was launched in 1969 by the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This was a great accomplishment for the world as it was for the first time that humans stepped on the surface of the moon. Post this, several manned missions took place until 1972.
But, Apollo 15 was the first of the Apollo 'J' missions that was able to stay on the moon for a longer period of time, showing greater surface mobility. The aim of the project was to explore the Hadley-Appenine region of the moon and also to perform some lunar scientific experiments which can help understanding the subject better.
There was another objective of the mission – to make engineering evaluations of the new Apollo equipment, carry out lunar orbital experiments and also to take shots of the area.
Quite a few unidentified flying objects, or UFO sightings were reported across the world around the same time. However, when some researchers were browsing through the archival images of Apollo 15 mission, one of them spotted an unidentified object lingering over the lunar region, Tech Times reports.
This latest news of a UFO comes after Streetcap1 posted a video on YouTube. The original picture was taken on the moon's surface during the Apollo 15 mission between 30 July, 1971 and 2 August, 1971.
Some say that the things spotted in the image could be some debris, while others say it could be a result of the photo's developing process.
"It could be anything, a scratch on this particular camera lens, a piece of dust flying up, since there is very low gravity, things tend to move around a bit up there. It could even be a blocked out, bad picture of earth from the moon. Nothing about this still picture proves that it is a UFO, since whatever it is, is not flying, its stationary since it is only a picture. My best guess, it's a bad picture, and that's a spot left from bad developing," a comment on the YouTube video states.
But UFO believers and enthusiasts are firm that the image is of an alien that was observing human explorers as they might have been fascinated by the astronauts.

Daily 2 Cents: The Evil Eye of Envy -- Car Turn Signal Lodged in Man's Arm For 51 Years -- How Could a Woman Just Vanish?
Daily 2 Cents: The Evil Eye of Envy -- Car Turn Signal Lodged in Man's Arm For 51 Years -- How Could a Woman Just Vanish?
The Evil Eye of Envy
Through the ages, people have always feared various forms of evil. Folklorist Alan Dundes, in his edited volume The Evil Eye: A Casebook notes that "the victim's good fortune, good health, or good looks — or unguarded comments about them — invite or provoke an attack by someone with the evil eye. If the object attacked is animate, it may fall ill. Symptoms of illness caused by the evil eye include loss of appetite, excessive yawning, hiccups, vomiting, and fever. If the object attacked is a cow, its milk may dry up; if a plant or fruit tree, it may suddenly wither and die."
People believed, and still believe, that some people possess the evil eye. Their glance or gaze results in loss of energy. They spread negativity wherever they go. They feed on other people’s energy. The concept of witch and vampire has its origins in this idea. Then there are people who grant energy copiously; these are the saints and the gods and the holy men, even performers and film stars, who attract vast crowds.
When children fall sick for no apparent reason, when things suddenly start to go wrong or when road blocks come your way repeatedly, people say, the evil eye has struck. The idea is prevalent in almost every corner of the world. Ancient Irish legends speak of the evil eye of Balor, the one-eyed giant which inspired the concept of the Eye of Sauron in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. The evil eye havoc, stemming from neighbor's envy, is called a curse or 'hex'.
The best way to understand the concept of evil eye is to accept the idea of auras. All human beings have an aura around them, known as the subtle body. It is a kind of energy shield emerging from our physical and mental health status. A beautiful or healthy object has positive aura, which is why looking at them makes us happy; they energize us. An ugly or unhealthy object has a negative aura, which is why looking at them makes us unhappy; they sap us of energy. It is possible to draw energy from positive aura objects and lose energy to negative aura objects.
An evil eye, on the other hand, can cause us to lose our aura, feel drained and powerless.
Ancient Egyptians believed that the 'Eye of Horus' protected one from the evil eye. Ancient Romans used phallic images to keep away bad luck. In Turkey, the blue 'Nazar' amulet is sold everywhere. In many Arab countries, one finds the hand of Fatima or Khamsa or Hamsa, which is a palm-shaped amulet to ward off the evil eye. Many Muslims believe that saying 'Mashallah,' or 'God wills it' creates a protective shield from the evil eye. The apparently modern idea of keeping your fingers crossed has its origin in using the Crucifix to keep away evil and ensure success.
In Edwin and Mona Radford's Encyclopedia of Superstitions they note that in many places "a cross-eyed or squinting person was almost universally feared. To meet one on the way to work is still regarded as a bad sign by miners, fishermen, Spanish bullfighters, and others who follow dangerous trades." Though such an affliction is clearly not the person's fault, nonetheless "any visible defect in the eye is readily associated by the superstitious with the evil eye." The evil eye is also said to be prevalent among the Roma (formerly known as Gypsies).
Babies and children are said to be especially susceptible to harm from the evil eye, and in many countries including Greece, Romania and India, praising a child publicly is sometimes considered taboo, for the compliment will draw the attention of the evil eye. In order to counteract the evil eye, parents of a thoughtlessly praised child may ask the person who gave the compliment to immediately spit in the child's face. Because the momentarily exalted youngster has been brought down a peg, any harm by the evil eye is unnecessary; this spittle salve is harmless yet insulting enough to negate the compliment.
The buri nazar (evil eye) is a big deal in India. It comes from the idea that a gaze can cause harm and commonly believed that, should someone curse you with it, the negative energy will bring about all kinds of illnesses and misfortunes. Anyone can possess an evil eye transiently. This follows envy, or even adoration, of something pretty or beautiful, like a child, who is most susceptible to nazar. Inadvertently, even a mother's gaze, can drain the child of positive aura resulting in sickness. The threat of this prompts people into taking enthusiastic protective actions ranging from drawing big black dots, the nazar ka tika, on babies’ foreheads to chanting mantras, and engaging the services of Hindu priests and astrologers, to ward it off.
The best way to deal with the evil eye is to avoid it in the first place, but there are ways to protect oneself. The method varies by culture, geographic region, and personal preference. Amulets can be worn to deter the evil eye, often using the color blue (symbolizing heaven or godliness) and an eye symbol. Charms, potions, and spells can also be prepared; garlic can be used to deter the evil eye, and some believe that just saying the word "garlic" offers protection.
Some shops sell nothing but talismans designed to ward the eye off. Often, people will hang up chilies, limes, and lemons as a homemade alternative. There are even places online that sell fruit-based wards to protect homes and offices against the evil eye, should you desire to improve your lot.
Alan Dundes notes, we "should keep in mind that the evil eye is not some old-fashioned superstitious belief of interest solely to antiquarians. The evil eye continues to be a powerful factor affecting the behavior of countless millions of people throughout the world."
Fair warning...before seeking retribution, seriously weigh if a suspected misfortune is actually from an evil eye attack or simply non-supernatural bad luck. The consequences can be deadly.
Arthur Lampitt discovered that the bizarre object had been embedded in his left arm for over 51 years.
The 75-year-old's remarkable story started back in 1963 when he had been involved in a car accident while driving to work. He broke his hip and suffered minor injuries from flying debris but went on to make a full recovery.
Around 10 years ago however Lampitt had been visiting a courthouse with his wife Betty when he inadvertently set off the metal detector. Confused, he went to a hospital and had an x-ray done which revealed a metal object lodged in his left arm.
The anomalous item was around the size of a pencil but hadn't caused him any noticeable harm or discomfort so he decided to take no further action to have it removed or examined.
A few weeks ago however Lampitt ended up back in hospital when the object unexpectedly shifted inside his arm, prompting doctors to recommend he have it removed as soon as possible.
When the object was finally extracted however everyone was amazed to discover that it was the metal turn signal lever from the car he had been driving when he crashed over 51 years earlier.
"We see all kinds of foreign objects like nails or pellets, but usually not this large, usually not a turn signal from a 1963 T-Bird," said Dr. Timothy Lang who performed the operation.
Lampitt, who is now recovering at home, has plans to turn the lever in to a novelty key chain. Read more atCBS News
ON SUNDAY, JULY 21, 2013, Dottie Rust and her hiking partner, Regina Clark, made their way from Carrabassett River to Poplar Mountain, part of an ambitious hike across a section of the Appalachian Trail in western Maine. The terrain was challenging, but conditions were good that day: sunny skies, cool temperatures. The two hiked down Lone Mountain, crossed a couple logging roads and streams, then began a steep ascent up Poplar Ridge. Clark is a faster hiker, but Rust is more experienced, so the latter would call out periodically, reminding her partner to look for the white blazes delineating the trail.
Near the top of Poplar Ridge, they stopped and took in the topography. Thick vegetation walled the trail on either side. Beyond it, precipitous cliffs dropped more than a hundred feet into caves and boulder gardens deep enough to swallow a truck. “My gosh,” Clark said to her friend, “if you were six inches off the trail here, you’d be gone. And no one would ever find you.”
Less than an hour later, the two southbound hikers arrived at the Poplar Ridge Lean-to, a covered camping shelter. There they met Geraldine Largay, a 66-year-old hiker from Tennessee heading north. Gerry had a big smile, a warm disposition, and an energy that belied her age. Rust and Clark were spending three weeks hiking a stretch of the Appalachian Trail, but Gerry was a thru-hiker: She intended to hike all 2,100 miles of it. Three months into her journey, she had completed nearly 1,000 miles and, by all accounts, was having a great time.
Other hikers would spend that Sunday night at the Poplar Ridge shelter — a northbound female hiker who kept to herself, two young men heading south — but the three women hit it off. They spent their evening together, cooking their dinners over compact backpacking stoves. Rust and Clark were instantly enamored. Here was a woman who had been an Air Force nurse, who had banded seabirds on a Pacific atoll, and taken her family on trips to Costa Rica and Spain. “She was just full of confidence and joy — a real delight to talk to,” recalls Rust.
The three women shared trail gossip; they talked about work; they compared husbands. Gerry said that George, her husband of 42 years, had been running support throughout the hike and would be waiting for her in his SUV at the trailhead near Route 27, about 22 miles away, on Tuesday. That impressed the hikers. So did Gerry’s level of preparation.
On Monday morning, Rust and Clark awoke after Gerry, just in time to watch her down an instant breakfast drink and then don her backpack. She was planning to spend that night at the Spaulding Mountain Lean-to, about 8 miles north, then hike an arduous 13 miles more in time to meet George by Tuesday evening.
There was a chill in the air, and Gerry was wearing a bright red fleece. She was absolutely beaming — so much so, in fact, that Rust asked if she could take her picture. “It’ll make the perfect Christmas card,” she told her new friend. Gerry mugged for the camera, waved goodbye, and then turned toward the same challenging half mile of trail Rust and Clark had traversed the previous day. A few seconds later, they watched Gerry disappear into the heavy foliage.
She has never been heard from since. Continue reading this interesting piece at Boston Globe
1. Rise with the sun to pray. Pray alone. Pray often. The Great Spirit will listen, if you only speak.
2. Be tolerant of those who are lost on their path. Ignorance, conceit, anger, jealousy and greed stem from a lost soul. Pray that they will find guidance.
3. Search for yourself, by yourself. Do not allow others to make your path for you. It is your road, and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.
4. Treat the guests in your home with much consideration. Serve them the best food, give them the best bed and treat them with respect and honor.
5. Do not take what is not yours whether from a person, a community, the wilderness or from a culture. It was not earned nor given. It is not yours.
6. Respect all things that are placed upon this earth – whether it be people or plant.
7. Honor other people’s thoughts, wishes and words. Never interrupt another or mock or rudely mimic them. Allow each person the right to personal expression.
8. Never speak of others in a bad way. The negative energy that you put out into the universe will multiply when it returns to you.
9. All persons make mistakes. And all mistakes can be forgiven.
10. Bad thoughts cause illness of the mind, body and spirit. Practice optimism.
11. Nature is not FOR us, it is a PART of us. They are part of your worldly family.
12. Children are the seeds of our future. Plant love in their hearts and water them with wisdom and life’s lessons. When they are grown, give them space to grow.
13. Avoid hurting the hearts of others. The poison of your pain will return to you.
14. Be truthful at all times. Honesty is the test of ones will within this universe.
15. Keep yourself balanced. Your Mental self, Spiritual self, Emotional self, and Physical self – all need to be strong, pure and healthy. Work out the body to strengthen the mind. Grow rich in spirit to cure emotional ails.
16. Make conscious decisions as to who you will be and how you will react. Be responsible for your own actions.
17. Respect the privacy and personal space of others. Do not touch the personal property of others – especially sacred and religious objects. This is forbidden.
18. Be true to yourself first. You cannot nurture and help others if you cannot nurture and help yourself first.
19. Respect others religious beliefs. Do not force your belief on others.
20. Share your good fortune with others. Participate in charity.

notes that "the victim's good fortune, good health, or good looks — or unguarded comments about them — invite or provoke an attack by someone with the evil eye. If the object attacked is animate, it may fall ill. Symptoms of illness caused by the evil eye include loss of appetite, excessive yawning, hiccups, vomiting, and fever. If the object attacked is a cow, its milk may dry up; if a plant or fruit tree, it may suddenly wither and die."
they note that in many places "a cross-eyed or squinting person was almost universally feared. To meet one on the way to work is still regarded as a bad sign by miners, fishermen, Spanish bullfighters, and others who follow dangerous trades." Though such an affliction is clearly not the person's fault, nonetheless "any visible defect in the eye is readily associated by the superstitious with the evil eye." The evil eye is also said to be prevalent among the Roma (formerly known as Gypsies).
