UFO crashing releases orb over Southern California – January 2015
UFO crashing releases orb over Southern California – January 2015
This interesting video of something that looks like a crashing UFO (notice the orb leaving the object moving off in the opposite direction) was filmed over southern California. This was uploaded on 5th January 2014.
Witness report: I was driving home after work when this UFO or whatever you call it caught my eye. I pulled over in front of somebody’s house to film it. I would have got a better shot but I didn’t want to jump these peoples fence. Anyway I don’t know what the hell to make of it. Couldn’t have been a plane cause there was no noise. And I never heard a crash after either. The Orb thing flew straight up into the sky and disappeared. Sorry I didn’t film that. I didn’t know what to focus my attention on.
UFO Cover Up Revelations! MJ12 & ET Quarantine – Stanton Friedman & Dark Journalist
Join Dark Journalist with legendary UFO investigator and Nuclear Physicist Stanton Friedman as they expose the UFO cover up and unravel the COINTELPRO that is spreading disinformation through puppet debunkers and dubious movies to discredit alien disclosure via covert propaganda programs.
Together they uncover the evidence that shows that the Earth may now be under an ET QUARANTINE due to its warlike stance with the development of the Star Wars Defense Systems and Secret Space Program. They also suggest that warnings from the ET visitors may be the reason why NASA has virtually dropped all of its moon missions and manned space travel.
Stanton Friedman is the most respected author in the field of UFO contact and has written the top influential books on the subject including the ground- breaking “Top Secret – Majic’” about the famous Majestic Twelve or MJ12 documents that reveal a clandestine government program to deny the existence of extraterrestrial visitors while reverse-engineering their incredibly advanced, futuristic technology.
From the secretive, breakaway national security state players to the stonewalling mainstream corporate media gatekeepers, this new Dark Journalist episode will shock you with its implications of a deep, organized plan to hide the reality of advanced, interstellar, off-world visitors and the tremendous impact they are having on our daily lives.
As a bonus, Dark Journalist asks Stanton to outline the secret world of Donald Howard Menzel, who lived a double-life as a famous Harvard Astronomer and UFO debunker but also as a key member of the hidden MJ12 group that handled all UFO evidence and technology for intelligence purposes. He also reveals his favorite UFO cases including the Phoenix Lights, Betty Hill, Jesse Marcel/Roswell, and more! You don’t want to miss this one!
Two UFOs flying over Corte Madera, California 3-Jan-2014
Two UFOs flying over Corte Madera, California 3-Jan-2014
Here’s a new video of a two bright objects hovering in the sky above Corte Madera, a town in Marin County, California. This was filmed on 3rd January 2014.
Witness report: I was on my way home from work. I noticed two very bright objects in the sky to the left of my direct sight. I was on the phone with my father at the time, and I told him I saw something strange and I had to call him back. The reason these objects looked so peculiar, was because they were on fire. Red/orange and glowing bright. They looked circular, almost like two orbs on fire. I was in shock because I had never seen anything like these objects in the sky before. I pulled over to the side of the road, and started taking a video with my iPhone. As the objects steadily moved closer to me (above me), I got really nervous and jumped back into my car and sped home. I called the police department in my town; I was on the phone with dispatch, explaining what I had seen, and how freaked out I was. I lost sight of the objects as I drove up the hill to my house. The dispatcher told me to go back and see if I could still see the objects. When I drove back down my hill, there was only one hovering. It appeared to be further in the distance than when I had last seen it. The woman on the other line told Me she would have an officer come out and “investigate”. The object being so far away at this point, made me feel a bit better, and I ended my conversation with the police department’s dispatcher. I then turned around back up my hill, and arrived safely at my residence. About 45 minutes later, I called the police department back, and asked if the officer had come to a conclusion about what it was that was floating in the sky. She told me they were unable to identify the object.
A week before Christmas in 1966, then 23-year old Vincent and two buddies went to a winter fishing when they spotted something unusual in the sky. In a temperate winter weather in December, they were enjoying fishing in the area along the Hudson River, estimated to be 40 miles north of New York City.
In their eastern side was the Indian Point Nuclear Power Station, and Harriman State Park in their western position. While enjoying their fishing, they noticed something unusual in the sky near Lake Tiorati and Harriman forests.
Vincent describes the aerial object as bronze in color and moving without noise. He adds that the size was around 6 meters in diameter.
Vincent managed to take four pictures of the strange flying object that night. Later, the Project Blue Book representatives from U.S. Air Force investigated the UFO sighting report and quickly considered the sighting photos as part of a hoax.
The National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) also conducted a study about the sighting by examining the photos and interviewing the three witnesses. Investigators from NICAP found no trace of any hoax.

In June 1965, Major James McDivitt saw, filmed, and photographed an object, which approached the Gemini IV (3rd June -- 7th June 1965) capsule in which they were orbiting the Earth, passing over Hawaii. He stated: "It had a very definite shape - a cylindrical object - it was white - it had a long arm that stuck out on the side." Image Link - (Download before it disappears.) Link:

UFO Sightings Increase 67 Percent In 3 Years, History Channel Investigates Unexplained Aerial Phenomena
UFO Sightings Increase 67 Percent In 3 Years, History Channel Investigates Unexplained Aerial Phenomena
Unemployment, gas prices, and fear over global warming aren't the only things skyrocketing -- so are mysterious objects rocketing through the sky.
The Mutual UFO Network -- the largest privately funded UFO research organization in the world -- tells The Huffington Post that more people than ever are reporting unidentified flying objects, mostly in the United States and Canada.
"Over the past year, we've been averaging 500 sighting reports a month, compared to about 300 three years ago [67 percent]," MUFON international director Clifford Clift said.
"And I get one or two production companies contacting me every week, wanting to do stories on UFOs."
That, of course, doesn't mean that little green men are watching us. It's generally accepted that 95 percent of all sightings are easily dismissed. Some turn out to be conventional aircraft, others are satellites or weather balloons -- and then there are the hoaxers with Photoshopped concoctions.
In the case of the Kansas City sighting, the UFOs turned out to be the Army Golden Knights parachuting team, performing a nighttime jump. But the explanation for the blinking light over Laredo is still up for grabs.
However, the remaining 5 percent of all UFO reports aren't as easily explained. And many of them are reported by commercial and military pilots. These were examined on "Secret Access: UFOs On The Record," a new History Channel documentary that premiered on Thursday.
"There's a great case from South America where a commercial flight was over the Andes after dark, cabin lights were on and everybody on one side of the airplane was looking out at this lighted object that was approaching them at their altitude," said Richard Haines, a former research scientist from the NASA Ames Research Center.
"The closer it got, the dimmer the cabin lights became. Well, that's an interesting electromagnetic effect."
Haines was once a UFO skeptic until he started hearing reports from commercial pilots who shared their UFO experiences with him. He eventually created an organization called the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena (NARCAP), which serves as a confidential reporting venue for pilots, crews and air traffic controllers who are otherwise afraid to make UFO reports.
"I was trying to be a conscientious scientist and let the chips fall where they may and I immediately found a great deal of bias and fear by people who shouldn't be afraid. Science should not be afraid," Haines told The Huffington Post.
Haines and his NARCAP colleagues prefer to use the term unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) to include "a wide range of atmospheric phenomena and effects that might well be extraterrestrial craft, but they might well be something quite different that science doesn't understand yet."
Pilots have reported different types of brushes with unexplained objects, according to Haines' years of discussions with them.
"One is an encounter where the airplane is flying along, minding its own business, usually on autopilot, when the phenomenon will come alongside, approach the airplane, pace it, sometimes do maneuvers around it and then fly away," Haines said.
"That's very important because it implies an intelligence behind the phenomena that is selecting the airplane as a focus of attention or interest," he added.
And that seems to be what happened during a highly publicized 1986 case where a Japan Airlines 747 crew was flying over Alaska when they encountered and reported two UFOs pacing their airplane to Anchorage air traffic controllers. Then the pilot reported the appearance of a third, huge circular craft.
"When the controller checked with military people, they said they did have a target [on radar] -- not just one target, but a double primary target," said John Callahan, former head of the Federal Aviation Administration's Accidents, Evaluations and Investigations Division in the 1980s.
"When the pilot first reported the UFO, he said it was a huge ball of light and about four times bigger than the 747 he was flying," Callahan told The Huffington Post.
The more than 30-minute close encounter ended when the UFO vanished. But the most telling part of this case is the aftermath when Callahan was contacted by the CIA.
"I get a call from this guy in the CIA who tells me he wants to talk to me about the UFO. I said, 'What UFO?' He said, 'The one that was in Alaska.'"
The next day, Callahan found himself at a meeting with individuals from Pres. Ronald Reagan's scientific staff, the CIA and FBI, where he was told to hand all the materials about the case over to them.
"After I showed them the materials three times, one of the scientists stood up asking questions about the radar. Finally, another man stepped forward and said, 'OK,' and he pointed to the screen and said, 'This event never happened. We were never here. We're confiscating all this data and you're all sworn to secrecy.'
"I asked him what he thought it [the object] was, and he said, 'It's a UFO. Look at them [pointing to the scientists], they're drooling and can't wait to get into this data. This is the first time they ever had more than a minute of radar data on a UFO before.'"
Callahan says he then urged the CIA agent to let him contact the media about the UFO event. "'Oh, you can't do that!' he said. I asked why not? He said, 'It would frighten the American public -- they can't know about this.' So they picked up all the stuff and left," Callahan recalled.
The former FAA official (pictured left with author Leslie Kean) thinks that Earth is being visited by aliens.
"Oh, I think we really are. And the government doesn't tell you the truth all the time. Part of the stuff I was doing in my last 10 years with the government was lying to the public. I gave out disinformation -- an approved tactic in the government -- because the people can't handle the truth."
After years of working with pilots and trying to rationally understand what they sometimes encounter during flight, Haines is a little hesitant when asked what he thinks or hopes the truly unexplained UFOs or UAP may turn out to be.
"That's a loaded question. Again, I'm a scientist first, I'm not a prophet or a politician, and I honestly don't know, but I'm trying to do my job and come to a rational answer based upon the evidence.
"I've come to the conclusion that there is quite an amount of good evidence suggesting intelligence behind the phenomenon. That's kind of the bottom line here."
"All truth passes through three (3) stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." – Arthur Schopenhauer”
Within a blackness, a voice, intoning, resonant and deep, over and over and over:
"What a beautiful child, such a lovely child."
"What a lovely child, such a beautiful child."
Over and over and over, again.
Suddenly,
I am drawn to a parade.
Moving swiftly forward, striding, I can see the popcorn strewn sidewalk beneath my feet and I can smell cotton candy cloying sweetness wafting in the breeze.
Just ahead, an excited blare of trumpets, a murmur of deeply lined crowds and a growing but yet still distant tattoo of drums, combine to urge and propel me forward.
I am holding hands, pulling along two children,one in each hand, as I rush forward, expectantly eager, with an urgency that these two very small children experience the brassy, colorful thrill, of a parade.
In my right hand is the palm of a human child, perhaps five years old, a child wiry and muscular with blond hair and bluest eyes, a robust human child.
In my other hand, I grasp a small, withered hand, one of an odd looking, frail, non-human child, with black almond-shaped eyes and very long, skinny arms and legs, a sickly, tubular creature-child, who struggles but who can't keep up.
I sweep this odd child up onto my shoulders to let it see ahead and to carry it ; I feel its joy as a strong psychic wave..
I look again, curious and more critical.
It is a handicapped, ailing entity, sadly listless and lifeless.
A facsimile look alike of the cartoon character, Gumby,
its long grey arms and legs seem useless appendages, a long tubular shaped Gumby child, listless, ill and with no vitality.
I stare in amazement, clearly disgusted.
The scene changes, as does the perspective.
I am now looking down at this same grey tubular, now diapered child, laying on a bed.
I hear that same deep resonant voice repeatedly suggest that I change its diaper.
I was never an eager changer of diapers with my own babies, choosing sometimes to neglectfully leave a fully ripe and pungent baby for their mother to change.
I recoiled at the suggestion to nurture and care for it by changing its dirty diaper..
Both the creature and its toilet needs repulsed me, as I examined it more closely.
I awakened in bed, aware that the word, "dreams", used to describe abduction's surreal otherworldly-ness, is an impotent word, in our language, a problem with our language's inability to describe the alien astral experience in any other way.
"What a beautiful child!", as a phrase, is recalled by tens of thousands of abductees the world over, a phrase in an alien scripted scenario, in attempts to have offspring reunited with their somatic abductee parents for nurturing.
A painful thought arouses a dawning idea, that the ethereal, astral child is possibly of my spirit, blood and flesh.
And that's what abductions are all about, creating offspring, blending two very different species of beings, us and them, with many variations, farmed throughout the Universe, as a product, as we treat animals in much the same way, as we practice animal husbandry.
The sperm they remove, from male abductees occurs during mind-to-mind broadcast images into the mind of male abductees- kept on short psychic leashes, cocooned in delusions- of a vague sexual nature, with no orgasm-like pleasure or any feeling whatsoever occurring during extraction.
The 'seed' is traded as a commodity intergalactically as we are a species farmed throughout the Universe by these beings.
Abductions prevail and we are Manchurian candidates of stellar proportions.
Often abductions involve other unintended side effects.
Mass abductions, the taking of many people in an area at the same time, involves folding time and space, in a manner beyond belief, so that no time missed is noticed by abductees.
Time is a quaint variable, like gravity, both of which aliens have exploited in ways that we can only faintly imagine.
When UFO craft suddenly wink out, vanish and then reappear, in the exact same spot, they have actually traveled in time and returned.
I have decided not to awaken with nightmares and recollections of non-human creatures, and not to ever look up at the sky, to see craft.
I refuse to acknowledge this apparent lifetime's kidnapping and theft agreement, with aliens, on a spiritual level, as this particular personality of mine has been purposely made aware of these intrusions and as such, I believe that these experiences reflect a clear violation of spiritual rights, in their continuing.
I have dragged my feet and refused cooperation.
They changed tactics and redoubled their efforts.
I , through effective prayer, enlisted spiritual help from the same dimension that they use to enter our physical one, and they lent demons into the equation as spite work, and to muddle the picture.
I program myself to be more lucid in dreamstate, that I will remember, and then vague and vivid snippets remain which I can unfurl at leisure, by worrying the edges of the snippet, just before, and just after.
That focus works, to open remembrances, for me..
What happened just before and just after the recalled snippet of memory will intrude slowly, until a fuller grasp entails.
They are careful to give me vivid realistic screen memories, imposed images that mask actual events, onboard craft, screen memories, dreamlike in nature.
Sometimes, not a moment elapses between sleep and awakening, when they wrap me in general blackness, so that I awake with nosebleeds, scoop marks and exhaustion, but without vivid remnants, to recall.
The screen memories are aligned with negative thoughts, scenarios imposed, by virtue of their worst scenario plots and their vividness.
They are masters of delusions and can have one dreaming a snug little dream, cocooned on a short psychic leash, while they march one around their craft for various purposes, and most abductees, the world over, are none the wiser.
Those abductees who recall anything whatsoever are rare and far inbetween.
I resent and frustrate their entrances, approaches and goals when I resist and their tempers ill befit the advanced technology that they have.
Since they primarily wait until one is in REM sleep, lucid dreaming works well to detect and interact with them and is worth all the trouble it takes to master techniques of lucid dreaming.
Winston Churchill once said that it was the sad state of mankind, to be essentially ineducable. As an educator, for thirty-five years, teaching, I saw that Winston had some deeper notion of the actual, truer defined meaning of," ignorance.", which applies to seeing the unseen.
Ignorance, correctly defined, is not stupidity, but the mental state of ignoring blatant facts, like not noticing an alien paranormal trout in the milk.
It is hard to imagine the planetary human hardships and brutal dilemmas in human history, likely orchestrated by these alien puppet masters.
I program myself subliminally to repeat: "I will no longer participate in these alien endeavors", to find in sleep that I am shaken forcibly by a dark demonic entity as strong as a bull, who says," You will do as you're TOLD!"
Prayer works, like a pesticide, only if it is effective and is repetitious.
While none of the standard appeals to saints and to Jesus works, repeating the word, " GOD", over and over, can set up a different vibration level that could instantly end an astral abduction, if one only had the presence of mind.
That's where lucid dreaming comes in.
One of Heaven's most engaged, Archangel St. Michael gives support in our battles against intrusive UFO evil to bring immediate temporary respite.
We are not alone or simply watched with benign neglect, by Heaven.
Never fear, as they feed ethereally from fears, but Love them away, and they'll be puzzled enough to sit down and think things over, before they come again.
Creeping anxiety is the signature symptom of their unseen psychic intrusion, and if you feel that fear building, they're already peeking inside.
Panic attacks, are the soul's reaction to any ( demonic or alien, ) intrusions into the human psyche.
Treat the creepy anxiety as though it were an unwanted burglar, and order it away in the name of God.
You'll see that the feeling abates instantly, as they initially back off but like yellow jacket wasps at at a picnic cola, they unerringly try again, over and over.
Fighting them is a 24 hour 365 day job.
Why are we so helpless, in sleep?
During abductions, the human brain is somehow detached from the front of the brain, where one's shoe can hang before one's eyes but one cant discern just precisely what it is.
That's what looking out of the craft's window, and seeing the Earth, the Moon, nebulae and stars was like, precisely stated, for me.
The perspective was waking to find that I was asleep, wrapped in delusional thoughts and scenes.
I became suddenly lucid, awoke onboard from a trance, and discovered a host of others, during a mass abduction, on short, psychic, surreal leashes of psychic control, while we were manipulated around a large craft for various purposes.
The psychic nature of these entities is most uncannily canny, and most who experience an abduction, will not recall being inside an alien craft , and will dismiss any vivid flashbacks, as dreams.
My only clue, was awakening with the joy of recalling a dream about an intricate gorgeous wood inlayed staircase that had brought me a sweet rapture.
Unfurling backwards, and forwards the events around that joy, at an ornate wood staircase revealed that my 'rapture', had been an alien telepathic ploy
to erase my joyous memory , to cloud my recollections of my genuine awe, in seeing the Earth, the Moon, stars and purple nebulae, stunningly, in the blackest space, interspersed with tiny red and white stars, outside that craft's window.
By making a simple metal staircase turn into a lushy built wood inlay, by making the staircase the unrightful recipient of a powerfully imposed 'awe', and 'rapture', by turning the delusion's volume up too dramatically, a mind controlling screen memory failed, and ultimately backfired for the controlling, mind reading entity who had imposed it!
There is still much more to be remembered.

BIO:
Abductions and their remnant elusive memories have opened all this for Paul, a confirmed atheist, UNTIL Paul saw aliens float him out of his body, in his bed, at night.
Then, he knew that they were interested in an essence that he never suspected that he had, a nonphysical soul.
Our spiritual powers that interest and addict interdimensionals are the very powers that can be used to thwart further attacks.
They infect auras with attachments to themselves and ride the reincarnation roller coaster with human beings, as a sanctuary, to avoid the death that they fear and to steal the spiritual recycling that we have.
Souls are garnered, detoured from our natural spiritual evolution in Heaven.
These joyriding grays can be sinister, discorporate alien souls, stuck to our energies, who bring a new meaning to the concept of a silent invasion.
Op zoek naar de legendarische 300 meter hoge Witte Piramide van Xi'an
Op zoek naar de legendarische 300 meter hoge Witte Piramide van Xi’an
Rond de stad Xi’an in de Chinese provincie Shaanxi bevinden zich zo’n 100 piramides. Eén van deze piramides is de Grote Witte Piramide in het Qin Ling Shan-gebergte. De hoogte van de piramide is nooit officieel vastgesteld. Schattingen variëren van 300 meter tot 60 meter. Als de piramide 300 meter hoog zou zijn, gaat het om de hoogste piramide ter wereld.
De Duitse schrijver Hartwig Hausdorf schreef over een ontmoeting tussen twee Australische handelaren en een oude boeddhistische monnik in 1912, die hen vertelde dat er in een manuscript van meer dan 5000 jaar oud al werd gesproken over deze piramides. In het manuscript valt te lezen dat de piramides ‘zeer oud’ zijn. Chinese wetenschappers denken dat de piramides ongeveer 4500 jaar oud zijn.
Hoeveel piramides er in totaal zijn is onbekend, aangezien China het gebied heeft uitgekozen voor haar ruimtevaartprogramma. Het hele gebied is afgesloten door de overheid. Afbeeldingen van de piramides zijn dan ook schaars.
De Grote Witte Piramide (New York Times, 1947)
In 1945 vloog de Amerikaanse piloot James Gaussman over het gebied. Hij maakte een foto van de piramide, die pas jaren later werd vrijgegeven door de Amerikaanse overheid. “Alle zijden van de piramide waren wit,” schreef Gaussman. “Het meest opvallende aan de piramide was dat de deksteen gemaakt was van edelsteenachtig materiaal. Ik was diep onder de indruk van de enorme omvang van dat ding.”
In 1994 reisde Hausdorf af naar het gebied en maakte voor het eerst nieuwe foto’s van de piramides. Hij mocht alleen niet in de buurt komen van de piramides. Wat hem onder meer opviel was dat veel van de piramides waren beplant met bomen of andere begroeiing, om ze aan het zicht te onttrekken of om verdere erosie tegen te gaan.
NASA Space Station Video Shows Third UFO Since October
NASA Space Station Video Shows Third UFO Since October
Observer of NASA video feed from the International Space Station spotted another UFO, the third one spotted around the space station since October 2014.
YouTube user Streetcap1, who made various videos in the past about UFOs on NASA video feeds, posted his latest discovery to the video sharing site on January 1, 2015.
Silver or gray, disc-shaped object can be revealed upon zooming it even closer.
The YouTube video, as expected, receives mixed comments from online citizens. Some say that the suspected UFO is just a light reflection on the camera lens. A camera is firmly attached to the exterior of the ISS as it orbits approximately 270 miles above Earth.
Nothing is sure as of now including the identity of the past two claimed UFOs observed near the ISS. But whatever they are, the latest anomaly is the third to have been spotted near the space station. The first one was seen in late October 2014 and followed by another in early November in the same year.
Here’s one interesting UFO sighting filmed over Michoacan in Mexico. It looks like the object is coming out of a mountain. This happened on 30th December 2014.
Une idée très répandue : la « psychose de l’ovni »
L’idée que la science-fiction aurait engendré la «croyance » aux soucoupes volantes a été souvent avancée par les sceptiques. Elle s’appuie, évidemment, sur l’abondante littérature populaire qui a exploité sans vergogne le thème des envahisseurs extraterrestres, venus à bord de leurs soucoupes.
Une couverture du magazine américain Imagination. Science-fiction (1955)
Elle a été formulée, soit de manière radicale chez les sceptiques purs et durs (« les soucoupes sont nées de la S.-F. »), soit de manière plus nuancée, en laissant éventuellement la porte ouverte à diverses hypothèses, mais qui excluaient généralement une origine extraterrestre. C’est un point commun à toutes ces opinions - Cachez ces « ET » que je ne saurais voir ! – mais n’ouvrons pas ici ce vaste débat sur la nature des ovnis. Contentons-nous d’examiner quelques arguments d’ordre psychologique mis en avant pour les « expliquer ».
Outre l’influence de la science-fiction, les sceptiques ont proposé plusieurs explications « psycho-sociologiques », telles que la tension des débuts de la guerre froide, ou la crainte d’un futur angoissant provoquée par la bombe atomique. Certains ont supposé qu’il pouvait s’agir d’engins secrets américains, ou soviétiques, comme dans l’observation célèbre de Kenneth Arnold, de neuf « soucoupes » passant devant le mont Rainier (lesquelles n’avaient pas vraiment la forme de soucoupes, fait-on finement remarquer), mais on sait aujourd’hui que de tels appareils n’existaient pas. Cette idée trouve encore quelques défenseurs aujourd’hui, mais oublions-là.
L’idée d’une angoisse, peut-être diffuse et encore inconsciente, née des débuts de la guerre froide et de la crainte des armes atomiques, qui aurait suscité des hallucinations collectives, mérite que l’on s’y arrête un moment. Historiquement, la crainte de la guerre nucléaire apparaît déjà chez H.-G. Wells dans son livre The World Set Free paru en 1914, juste avant la première guerre mondiale. Elle est aussi présente, mais rarement, dans l’entre-deux guerres, par exemple dans un roman de Karel Capek, La fabrique d’absolu (1927). On la trouve aussi dans des nouvelles de Robert Heinlein et de Lester del Rey, dès les années 1941, 42. Et nous voici enfin en 1947, « l’année des soucoupes ». Dans le roman Et la foudre et les roses, de Theodore Sturgeon, les Etats-Unis sont ravagés par une guerre nucléaire. On trouve donc, en cherchant bien, ce thème dans la science-fiction de l’époque. Cependant, la peur de la guerre atomique ne prendra de l’importance que dans les années 50, avec l’intensification de la guerre froide et le développement des arsenaux nucléaires. En 1947, les Américains n’ont pas encore lieu de craindre l’arme atomique puisqu’ils vont en détenir le monopole jusqu’en 1949. A ce moment, la guerre froide n’a pas encore vraiment commencé. C’est au début de l’été de 1947 que le Président Harry Truman propose le plan Marshall à l’Europe, y compris à l’URSS, et celle-ci ne le refusera qu’à la fin de l’été. Pas de quoi provoquer des hallucinations collectives d’envahissement par des soucoupes soviétiques ! Les Américains, comme les Européens, sont confiants dans l’avenir et surtout occupés à développer rapidement leur économie.
L’autre argument psycho-sociologique qui vient naturellement à l’esprit, c’est la crainte d’un futur inquiétant, et en particulier d’une invasion par de dangereux extraterrestres, courante dans la S.-F., dont l’archétype est le fameux roman La Guerre des mondes de Herbert G. Wells. C’est sur ce terrain, peut-on penser, que jouerait l’influence de la science-fiction. Mais une telle crainte était-elle si répandue qu’elle puisse provoquer soudainement une hallucination collective massive de visions de soucoupes ? Signalons un sondage d’opinion sur les soucoupes volantes réalisé aux Etats-Unis en août 1947 par l’institut Gallup, un mois après la vague médiatisée de juin-juillet. L’hypothèse de leur origine extraterrestre ne figurait même pas dans la batterie des questions posées ! Elle était dissoute dans une catégorie résiduelle d’ « autres causes » qui n’obtenait, globalement, que 9% des suffrages. Là non plus, pas d’hystérie collective sur une invasion extraterrestre, semble-t-il. Il est vrai que ce sondage était bien dans la ligne officielle mise en place dès juillet, pour écarter cette idée dans l’opinion. Ah, ces sondages «scientifiques » et indépendants !
Voici un texte qui est un condensé, caricatural mais typique, de toutes ces idées, paru dans le livre Ze Craignos Monsters. Le retour, de Jean-Pierre Putters (Editions Vent d’Ouest, 1995) en chapeau de son chapitre « L’invasion des extraterrestres » : « Vers la fin des années quarante (comptez à peu près un bon demi-siècle avant Jacques Pradel…) la psychose de l’ovni s’emparait du Monde. Des soucoupes parcouraient le ciel, Welles terrifiait la population avec son adaptation de La Guerre des Mondes déguisée en flash d’actualité. Mars redevenait le Dieu de la Guerre. Voyez l’image. C’était la panique. Chronique d’une visite annoncée ».
Trève de plaisanterie, on peut débattre sans fin de tels facteurs, mais il devrait au moins être possible de trancher facilement sur l’influence de la science-fiction. Revenons à ce début d’été 1947, quand se produit la première grande vague historique d’observations de soucoupes volantes aux Etats-Unis. La donnée principale de cette vague elle qu’elle se produisit soudainement et massivement. En quelques jours, la presse locale, puis régionale et finalement nationale, se fit l’écho d’une multitude de témoignages, d’abord dans l’Ouest, puis dans d’autres régions de l’Amérique du Nord, y compris au Canada. Et cela sans que l’on constate le moindre affolement de la population. Il y avait bien eu quelques observations analogues au cours des mois précédents, mais elles étaient en très petit nombre, et nullement médiatisées. Elles ne pouvaient donc avoir provoqué un hypothétique phénomène d’emballement médiatique.
La réalité de cette vague est attestée par des documents militaires de l’époque, dont le plus connu est la lettre du général Twining, alors secrète mais rendue publique en 1969. Le 23 septembre 1947, le général Nathan Twining, patron des services techniques de l’armée de l’Air américaine (et futur chef d’état-major des armées), écrivait une lettre au général George Schulgen, chef adjoint des services renseignement aérien au Pentagone, dans laquelle il confirmait la réalité de ces mystérieuses soucoupes volantes : « a) Le phénomène rapporté est quelque chose de réel, qui n’est ni visionnaire ni fictif ;
b) ces objets, ayant probablement la forme d’un disque, sont de dimensions comparables à celles d’un avion de conception humaine. »
Le général Twining évoquait ensuite, notamment, leur vitesse ascensionnelle très élevée, leur manœuvrabilité, particulièrement en tonneau, et certaines « manœuvres d’évasion » lorsque ces objets étaient repérés par les avions et les radars, évoquant la possibilité que certains soient contrôlés, soit manuellement, soit automatiquement ou à distance. Suivait une description précise des mystérieux engins : surface métallique ou réfléchissant la lumière ; absence de traînée, sauf dans quelques rares cas où l’objet semblait opérer dans des conditions de hautes performances ; forme circulaire ou elliptique, avec un fond plat et un dôme sur le dessus ; selon plusieurs rapports, « vols en formation bien tenue », réunissant de trois à neuf objets.
Alors, quel fut le facteur déclencheur de cette vague ? N’est-ce pas, tout simplement, que tous ces témoins virent effectivement ces mystérieuses soucoupes ? Mais posons-nous tout de même la question : est-ce que ces gens lisaient trop de magazines de science-fiction, assez populaires à l’époque ? Il aurait fallu, au moins, qu’ils fussent remplis d’images inquiétantes de soucoupes volantes. Or il n’en était rien, ou presque.
Avant 1947, beaucoup de fusées et peu de soucoupes dans la science-fiction
A l’époque, les bandes dessinées et les films de science-fiction étaient pleins de belles fusées avec des ailerons profilés : en voici deux exemples, de mars et avril 1947, donc juste avant la grande vague des soucoupes de juin-juillet.

On s’intéressait surtout aux fusées et aux perspectives qu’elles ouvraient de conquête de l’espace, comme dans les livres de vulgarisation de Willy Ley : Rockets (1944) et The Coming Age of the Rocket Power (1945). C’est aussi l’époque des premiers essais, à White Sands, de fusées V2 prises aux Allemands à la fin de la guerre. Alors, les soucoupes dans la S.-F. ? Eh bien, elles commencent à apparaître, comme par hasard, au début des années 50, dans la foulée des premières vagues d’ovnis.
Une vraie fusée : la V-2 allemande, testée après la guerre à White Sands, au Nouveau-Mexique (US Army) ; future fusée lunaire selon Willy Ley dans son livre La conquête de l’espace (1949)
Les partisans de la thèse de la S.-F. à l’origine des soucoupes ont fouillé dans les archives de la S.-F. américaine et ont bien trouvé, dans le foisonnement des publications des années 30 et 40, ou même antérieures, quelques rares engins volants ressemblant plus ou moins à des soucoupes, dont ils ont fait des sortes d’archétypes dans le subconscient des gens qui se seraient mis soudainement à en voir partout. Ainsi, Michel Meurger, défenseur bien connu de cette théorie, a illustré son article « Qui a inventé les soucoupes volantes ?» (Ciel et Espace, avril 1996, avec Serge Lehman) avec une image de soucoupe parue en couverture du magazine Science WonderStories en 1929 !
Article de Michel Meurger avec couverture de Science Wonder Stories, (novembre 1929).
En y regardant de plus près, on constate une prolifération de modèles différents d’engins spatiaux, dans la science-fiction. Par exemple, dans les bandes dessinées de Brick Bradford (Luc Bradefer, en France), populaires à l’époque, le héros voyageait à bord d’un engin en forme de montgolfière, or personne n’a vu de montgolfière lors de la vague des soucoupes. En revanche, on a aussi observé, en 1947 et au cours des années suivantes, des cigares et des sphères, comme dans la S.-F. Mais, répétons-le, dans celle-ci la forme « soucoupe » est assez marginale, contrairement à la vague de 1947.
Il faut mentionner ici un livre intéressant de Bertrand Méheust, Science-fiction et soucoupesvolantes, publié d’abord en 1978 (Mercure de France), qui vient d’être republié en mai 2008 (Terre de brume), avec une nouvelle introduction de l’auteur. Méheust affirme, avec de nombreux exemples à l’appui, que toutes les histoires de soucoupes existaient déjà dans la science-fiction d’avant 1947, y compris les récits d’enlèvements qui sont apparues bien plus tard. Peut-on en conclure, comme beaucoup l’ont fait, que les soucoupes sont nées de la S.-F. ? D’abord, nous venons de voir que la vague de « soucoupes volantes » de 1947, attestée par des documents militaires de l’époque, était bien réelle, et n’avait donc rien à voir avec une quelconque influence de la science-fiction. Cependant, il faut reconnaître qu’un certains nombre de récits de fiction antérieurs à cette vague, ressemblent jusqu’à un certain point, à des récits d’observation d’ovnis apparus depuis lors. On peut admettre qu’il y a là un phénomène troublant. Dans la nouvelle édition, Méheust finit par admettre qu’il y pourrait bien y avoir des cas crédibles d’observations d’ovnis, qu’il surnomme des « choses intentionnelles ». Mais alors, leur ressemblance avec des récits de science-fiction constituent selon lui une énigme, un « puits sans fond ». A cette idée, il me semble possible de faire une objection de fond. Si, comme je le crois avec beaucoup d’autres, il y a une longue histoire de visions et d’apparitions célestes de toutes sortes, et pas seulement dans le domaine des religions – les historiens romains mentionnaient déjà des apparitions d’ovnis - alors il n’est pas surprenant que ces apparitions aient laissé des traces, notamment dans les légendes et le folklore, et de nos jours jusque dans la science-fiction. Méheust est bien conscient de cet argument et il s’emploie à le minorer, mais il n’arrive pas à l’éliminer complètement. Ainsi l’énigme n’est peut-être pas si profonde que cela !
L’histoire la plus célèbre d’envahisseurs extraterrestres, est le roman La guerre des Mondes de Herbert G. Wells, dont l’adaptation radiophonique d’Orson Welles (à ne pas confondre avec Wells) avait provoqué une panique en 1938 (c’est attesté par les articles de de journaux de l’époque). Cette histoire mettait en scène des Martiens à bord d’engins tripodes qui n’avaient encore rien à voir avec les soucoupes. Ce n’est que plus tard, avec le film du même nom tourné en 1953, qu’ils vont prendre une forme « soucoupique », qui devient à la mode, à cette époque, dans la science-fiction.

L’adoption des soucoupes volantes par la science-fiction
Il y a toujours eu des frictions entre amateurs d’ovnis et amateurs de science-fiction. Stan Barets, spécialiste de la science-fiction, résume ainsi, avec humour, l’incompréhension qui perdure entre les amateurs des deux bords : « Ne parlez pas de soucoupes volantes à un écrivain de S.-F., il vous répondra que lui, il essaie d’écrire des choses sérieuses et intelligentes. Ne parlez pas de science-fiction à un ufologue, il vous répondra que lui, il essaie d’écrire des choses sérieuses et intelligentes. Bref il y a malaise. » (Le science-fictionnaire, tome 2, page 238). En fait, les ufologues aiment bien la science-fiction, mais ce sont eux qui se font traiter de haut par les « science-fictionnaires », toujours soucieux de reconnaissance littéraire. Le résultat est qu’il y a peu de romans de S.-F. « sérieux » mettant en scène ces mystérieux ovnis. En revanche, les magazines populaires, le cinéma, et plus encore la télévision, qui se moquent de la reconnaissance littéraire mais pas du « box-office », ont pillé sans vergogne, pour leur plus grand profit, cette mine d’or qu’était pour eux la thématique des ovnis, accumulée pendant des années par d’obscurs « ufologues » bénévoles. Oui, il y a des gens qui ont gagné beaucoup d’argent avec les ovnis. Parfois des auteurs de livres, mais surtout des producteurs de cinéma et de télévision. Dans les magazines populaires, les beaux jours de soucoupes commencent dès la fin des années 40, et elles seront encore populaires jusque dans les années 70.

C’est au début des années 50 que les soucoupes volantes font leur apparition dans le cinéma américain, avec le film The Flying Saucer, bien oublié aujourd’hui.
Affiche du film The Flying Saucer (1950)
Puis le thème se répand rapidement, notamment celui de la soucoupe accidentée ! Celui-ci ne vient pas de l’incident de Roswell, qui ne fit qu’une brève apparition dans la presse des 8 et 9 juillet 1947, mais plutôt le livre à succès de Franck Scully, Behind the Flying Saucers , paru en 1950, qui prétendait révéler plusieurs accidents de soucoupes, récupérées par l’armée dans le plus grand secret. Le thème de la soucoupe écrasée est exploité dès l’année suivante au cinéma, avec La chose d’un autre monde (The Thing From Another World), film produit par un cinéaste réputé, Howard Hawks (et tourné par Christian Nyby), en 1951. Des militaires américains découvrent une soucoupe volante accidentée, non pas dans le désert du Nouveau-Mexique, comme dans l’affaire de Roswell, mais enfouie dans les glaces du Groenland. Ils y trouvent un extraterrestre gelé, qu’ils dégèlent joyeusement, mais ce n’était pas une bonne idée car il s’avère être sanguinaire et va semer la terreur dans leur campement. Mauvais début pour les « ET » au cinéma !
Le film La chose d’un autre monde (1951)
En fait, ce thème de l’accident de soucoupe fut discrédité rapidement lorsqu’un journaliste révéla, en 1952, que le livre de Scully reposait sur de fausses informations fournies par un escroc, Silas Newton. Un magazine en fit alors une couverture plutôt drôle et sexy, montrant une pin-up qui sauvait dans ses bras un petit homme vert avec des tentacules ! (Elle ne craignait pas les bactéries ET, comme les chirurgiens masqués dans le trop célèbre film de l’autopsie de 1995). Incidemment, c’est cette illustration ridicule qu’a choisie Pierre Lagrange comme couverture pour la version française du livre de Karl Pflock censé déboulonner Roswell, parue en France en 2007…
Couverture de Startling Stories (juin 1952)
Un autre film célèbre de l’époque, Le jour où la Terre s’arrêta (The Day the Earth Stood Still), réalisé par Robert Wise en 1951, nous conte l’histoire d’un visiteur cosmique pacifiste, Klatoo, d’apparence parfaitement humaine mais épaulé par son fidèle et puissant robot Gort (qui va lui sauver la vie, face à des humains agressifs).
Film Le jour où la Terre s’arrêta (1951)
Klatoo débarque de sa soucoupe sur l’esplanade de Washington pour mettre en garde les Terriens contre les dangers de la Guerre atomique. Mais ce pacifiste se fait menaçant : si nous ne cessons pas nos bêtises, ils reviendront nous éliminer ! Cet avertissement est servi en pleine guerre froide et paranoïa mac-carthyste : à bon entendeur, salut. Remarquons au passage que le thème des ovni s et des extraterrestres n’a pas produit que des œuvres négatives, loin de là, au cinéma et à la télévision. Il n’y a pas eu que des aliens terrifiants, il y en a eu aussi qui étaient civilisés et intelligents !
Et voici qu’apparaît l’année suivante, le thème attendu de la guerre contre les extraterrestres, avec la mise en images du célèbre roman de H.-G. Wells, La guerre des mondes, dans lequel les tripodes martiens sont remplacés, opportunément, par des soucoupes volantes (voir plus haut). D’autres films vont suivre, en général de piètre qualité, tels que Les soucoupes volantesattaquent (Earth versus the Flying Saucers) en 1956. Ce film s’inspirait des nombreuses observations de « soucoupes volantes qui continuaient aux Etats-Unis, notamment au dessus de Washington en 1952.
Le film Les soucoupes volantes attaquent (1956)
Toujours dans les années 50, il faut en revanche saluer deux bons films, sortant du lot des films «soucoupistes ». En 1955, Les survivants de l’Infini (This Island Earth) met en scène à la fois de bons extraterrestres et d’horrible monstres, contre lesquels les bons ET mènent un combat désespéré pour sauver leur planète Metaluna.
Films Les survivants de l’infini (This Island Earth, 1955), et Planète interdite (Forbidden Planet, 1956)
Planète interdite (Forbidden Planet) est, en 1956, le premier grand « space opera », en couleurs et cinémascope, avec un astronef en forme de soucoupe. Il a bénéficié de gros moyens et les décors de ce monde lointain sont très réussis. Le dépaysement est crédible, peut-être pour la première fois, ainsi que l’évocation d’une ancienne civilisation très avancée, les Krels, qui ont mystérieusement disparu mais dont il reste une immense usine souterraine. C’est elle qui a causé leur perte, découvre-t-on à la fin, car elle avait été conçue pour capter et satisfaire les désirs de ces êtres. Et ils avaient scellé leur destin car la machine avait créé, dès sa mise en service, tous les monstres nés de l’inconscient – Monsters from the Id – qui les détruisirent tous ! Le Dr Morbius, découvrant cette terrible catastrophe et comprenant le danger extrême de cette machine, se résigne à détruire la planète : les humains ne sont assurément pas prêts à jouir d’une telle puissance, et l’on ne peut qu’être d’accord avec lui !
Ainsi, un examen rapide des influences réciproques entre science-fiction et ovnis nous invite à le faire le constat que ce sont essentiellement les ovnis qui ont inspiré la science-fiction, et non l’inverse. Risquons même l’idée, pour terminer, que des « ovnis du passé » ont pu inspirer des histoires plus anciennes, mais c’est un autre sujet, bien plus vaste que la S.-F.. Pour ceux que cela intéresse, j’ai traité le thème dans mon livre Visions célestes. Visions cosmiques, qui retrace notamment l’histoire des visions anciennes. Il comporte aussi, cependant, un chapitre sur la science-fiction, et se termine, naturellement, avec les ovnis.
Witness confidentiality and accompanying issues were recently explored on this blog in the post, 'Security of Budd Hopkins Archive Called into Question, David Jacobs Shares Responsibility'. Peter Robbins subsequently chose to voice some perspectives about the piece and make some related assertions. Carol Rainey chose to respond. Rainey's response was received in an email today and is published with her permission:
Carol Rainey’s Response to Peter Robbins, January 4, 2015
I would like to respond to Peter Robbins’ categorical statement below, which was posted to Sacha Christie’s Facebook page on January 1st:
“For the record – Budd Hopkins NEVER allowed the release of any tape recording or confidential file except to the individual themselves. David Jacobs has always followed this policy as well – except in single case of the event in question [the release of Larry Warren’s tape to Col. Halt].”
Budd Hopkins’ supporters have shown a disturbing commitment to turn him into “a saint” by revising and sanitizing every act and event of his life. Budd was a human being – often warm and caring, but also often thoughtless and careless about other people’s safety and needs. So are most of us divided between our good and our selfish impulses. So, please, folks, there is no need to attempt to present him as perfect and without flaw – in retrospect. That simply is not who he was. We were married for ten years, most of those happily, and long enough for me to know his character and his work.
Prior to his death, however, Budd did not make adequate provisions for the posthumous safety and protection of his subjects’ records. In other fields, a researcher’s archives are often given in trust to an academic institution or major library. The archives are transferred to these safe havens along with strict legal contracts that specify who, why, and how other individuals with serious research projects may or may not use them. If I had been one of Budd’s subjects, that would have been my strong preference for where my records would have ended up.
Peter is simply and utterly wrong when he asserts that Budd “NEVER allowed the release of a tape or file to anyone but the individual themselves [sic].” What would Peter call the fact that Budd allowed David Jacobs, at some point in the late 1990’s, to take hundreds of Budd’s hypnosis tapes back to his home in order to make copies of those confidential “patient records?”
And we both know that Budd, in his studio or living room, often played excerpts of his subjects’ regression sessions to visitors like Col. Halt, Roger Leir, John Mack, and others. I saw him play these regression tapes for journalists, for television producers, for other abductees. He also played a videotaped interview with John Cortile, aged eight or nine when it was shot, in his studio for outsiders to see, although he’d promised John’s mother that he would not.
It’s public knowledge that in his first interaction with John Mack, Budd handed him a stack of his unopened, personal mail. These were letters, often up to eight pages long, that had been sent to him in confidence by people who spilled out their deepest fears that their anomalous experiences meant they might be abductees. The names and addresses of these confidential letters (often marked “Confidential” on the envelopes) were fully in view. John has mentioned this in his writing and in conference presentations. Greg Sandow, too, has posted on the Web about Budd handing him, early on, a stack of unopened letters as a way of convincing him to take the phenomenon seriously.
In his last year of life, Budd (or his assignee) handed over to one of his supporters videotape to be publicly posted on a website that defended the “Witnessed” case. The unfortunate facts are that what Budd handed over to be made public was footage that belonged to me, footage that I’d shot with alleged abductees and witnesses for a documentary. I had obtained proper releases from each for inclusion in my film. But Budd had no release or contract whatsoever with the individuals on my film. Yet he was apparently untroubled by the ethical concerns of having handed over stolen material to be posted on a supporter’s site in full violation of my copyright -- not to mention the rights of the subjects who were then publicly “outed.”
Although I have less knowledge of David Jacobs’ policies and procedures, I am aware that Emma Woods has objected strongly, in the past, about his passing along the audiotapes of her own regressions to be listened to and transcribed by other alleged abductees.
In summary, I’d suggest to people concerned about such matters to familiarize themselves with the strict U.S. Department of Health and Human Services HIPAA regulations. More information about privacy rights for healthcare information can be found at http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/complaints/index.html.

UFO mania: UFO Crashing Releases Orb Over Southern California. Anyone Else See It?
The witness, Ken Roberts "I was driving home after work when this UFO or whatever you call it caught my eye. I pulled over in front of somebody's house to film it. I would have got a better shot but I didn't want to jump these peoples fence. Anyway I don't know what the hell to make of it. Couldn't have been a plane cause there was no noise. And I never heard a crash after either. The Orb thing flew straight up into the sky and disappeared. Sorry I didn't film that. I didn't know what to focus my attention on."

Archeologen ontdekken mythische tombe van Osiris - HLN.be
Archeologen ontdekken mythische tombe van Osiris - HLN.be
Een team van Italiaanse en Spaanse archeologen heeft een ongelofelijke ontdekking gedaan in de necropolis van Sheikh Abd el-Qurna nabij het Egyptische Luxor. Ze hebben de mythische graftombe van Osiris, de god van het dodenrijk, blootgelegd.
Eigenlijk gaat het om een symbolische begraafplaats die tijdens rituelen werd gebruikt om de onsterfelijkheid van de godheid te linken met de heersende farao's. Koninlijke begraafplaatsen stonden model voor het complex dat verschillende grafkamers en schachten telt.
Volgens de Egyptische minister van Antiquiteiten, Mamdouh al-DamAcaty, dateert het complex wellicht uit de 25ste Dynastie (zo'n 700 jaren voor Christus). Het bestaat uit een grote hal ondersteund door vijf pilaren. Een trap leidt naar een grafkamer met een gebeeldhouwde god. Een aanpalende kamer herbergt reliëfs van bewakers met messen.
Een schacht van negen meter leidt naar de centrale ruimte. Daaronder bevindt zich nog een schacht van zes meter lang die toegang verschaft tot nog twee andere kamers gevuld met puin die nog niet zijn onderzocht.
Het is trouwens niet de eerste keer dat dit complex werd ontdekt. Volgens het Egyptische ministerie van Antiquiteiten werd de begraafplaats al in 1880 gevonden door archeoloog Philippe Virey. Ondanks pogingen om het complex op kaart vast te leggen, bleef het belang en de aard ervan tot nu onbekend.
Volgens de legende werd Osiris gedood door zijn broer en tevens rivaal Set, die zelf koning van de doden wilde zijn. Daarom bedacht hij een list. Hij maakte een kist en via een leugentje moest Osiris er 'even' inkruipen. Seth sloot toen de kist en gooide die in de Nijl, maar Isis (Osiris' vrouw) vond de kist terug.
Seth werd woedend en hakte het dode lichaam van Osiris in stukken en gooide deze over de uithoeken van het oude Egypte. Na jarenlang zoeken vond Isis de stoffelijke resten (behalve zijn geslachtsorgaan) terug en mummificeerde het tot één geheel. Na een lange strijd met Set werd Horus, de zoon van Osiris, koning van Egypte.
Door Tsjecheische archeologen werd afgelopen weekend trouwens nog een belangrijke opgraving gedaan. Ze ontdekten de graftombe van een tot nu toe onbekende koningin: "Chentkaus III". Ze was wellicht de vrouw van een farao die behoorde tot de vijfde dynastie, ongeveer 4.500 jaar geleden.
De tombe werd ten zuidwesten van Caïro opgegraven, op de site Aboesir, waar zich wel meer graftombes van farao's uit de vijfde dynastie bevinden.
De tombe werd ontdekt op het grafcomplex van farao Neferefre, zo zegt Miroslav Barta, die aan het hoofd stond van de Tsjechische archeologische missie. "Dat laat vermoeden dat de koningin de vrouw van Neferefre was."

Acht 'Ufo's' gespot in het Hageland in 2014 - HLN.be
Acht 'Ufo's' gespot in het Hageland in 2014 - HLN.be
Een getuige maakte deze foto van een 'Ufo' boven Oplinter. Onderzoek wees uit dat het wel- licht om een vliegtuig ging. - Ufomeldpunt.be
Het Belgisch Ufo-meldpunt noteerde vorig jaar 169 waarnemingen van ongeïdentificeerde vliegende voorwerpen in ons luchtruim. Dat zijn er 92 minder dan in 2013. In het Hageland werden acht meldingen gemaakt. Coördinator Frederick Delaere wijt de daling onder andere aan het groeiende verbod op vuurballons, maar tegelijkertijd maken drones stilaan hun opmars. Voor een derde van de meldingen had hij geen verklaring.
Frederick richtte in 2007 het Belgisch Ufo-meldpunt op met als doel een verklaring te vinden voor elke waarneming in ons luchtruim. Het aantal meldingen ging een paar jaar in stijgende lijn, met als hoogtepunt 341 meldingen in 2011. Sindsdien neemt dat aantal gestaag af, met vorig jaar nog 169 meldingen. Waar de meeste mensen bij UFO's spontaan denken aan groene mannetjes, zoeken Frederick en zijn twee collega's een wetenschappelijke verklaring voor elk ongeïdentificeerd object.
In het Hageland werden er vorig jaar acht 'Ufo's' gespot. Op 5 januari vorig jaar werd de eerste melding gemaakt in Aarschot. Twee getuigen zagen toen een groot ovaal met felle lichten. Er zijn te weinig gegevens beschikbaar om uit te maken wat ze precies gezien hebben. Een maand later, op 4 februari, werd ook in Gelrode iets opgemerkt. Daar zagen mensen een soort V-vorm met twee witte lichten. Onderzoek wees uit dat het wellicht om een vliegtuig ging. Dat was wellicht ook het geval met de intense lichtbol die op 14 mei gezien werd in Oplinter (zie foto).
Op 25 juni werd in Diest melding gemaakt van vier flikkerende witte lichtpunten en in Tielt-Winge zag een man op 12 juli een fel roze-rood licht. Van die twee meldingen zijn er te weinig gegevens om te achterhalen wat het precies was. In Betekom werd op 19 september melding een geelachtig bolvormig 'iets' gespot. Daarvan staat vandaag vast dat het om een meteoor ging. In Rillaar zagen getuigen op 23 oktober dan weer een wit licht dat in een cirkel ronddraaide. Dat ging wellicht om een roterende schijnwerper.
De laatste melding van 2014 kwam er op 6 december. Toen zagen bewoners van Waanrode een geel, oranje en rood flikkerend licht. Daarvan is nog niet geweten wat dat precies was. (IBO/VDI)
Incredible photos shows ice from Comet Lovejoy turning into a stream of gas as it gets closer to the sun. Comet Lovejoy first spotted in August by an amateur astronomer and is currently shooting northwards past Earth. The celestial body is leaving a magnificent trail of glowing green ice and gas in its wake as it passes over our skies. The comet will glow brightest in around a week's time and is expected be visible from light-polluted areas.
It is easy to see why democracy has yet to make its way to the people of Libya in the wake of the revolution, for dictatorships are still alive and well across nearly all the countries of the Arab Spring. The dictators who fled left their shadows behind, and those who were imprisoned have been exonerated; all they have had to do is wave their hands at those who are still submissive to them, and get their way. But for a dictator to be able to wave at his people from beyond the grave, a people who are currently on the brink of a civil war, this type of presence requires closer inspection order to understand what has happened to such people them following 42 years of authoritarian rule.
It seems as though the late Libyan dictator, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi is calling to the Libyan people from his tomb. Some have even claimed that he has appeared and spoken with them. The fantasy of Gaddafi's return is embodied in a court case that took place in a Moroccan court in March 2012, based on a lawsuit filed by Gaddafi against a Moroccan journalist who he claimed "insulted the dignity of his public persona". The journalist in question wrote an article in 2009 on the lack of democracy in the countries of the Arab Maghreb, in which he claimed that Gaddafi had not only squandered the wealth of the Libyan people but that he had yet to fulfil any of the promises he committed to during the coup that brought him to power. Indeed, the Moroccan journalist warned the Libyan people that they would have to wait yet another 40 years before Gaddafi distributed the revenues of oil wealth among the country's population as promised. The verdict of that case awarded Gaddafi a sum of nearly one million dirhams but asked for an extension until his death was confirmed.
Gaddafi has returned from his grave for he had never really left the realm of his beloved Zenga, the home that so many now associate him with. His ghost is dressed in his infamous clothes, and we find that he is still using the whip of torture in the Republic's institutions. The question that prevails among many political analysts today is thus whether or not Libya is on its way to becoming a failed state or whether it is already a failed state. And if so, where do the borders of this state begin and end?
Gaddafi may have been buried after his death but his image continues to reign supreme. Old videos of him continue to resurface, such as the video of his 2010 visit to Italy in which he called on Europeans to convert to Islam. Such videos are circulating alongside translations of Gaddafi's plans and goals not only for the Arab world and Africa, but for all of Europe as well. Rather than view these things as they are, they are being used to bring Gaddafi back into the stream of current events and to revive the prophecies of a fallen leader.
During the trip to Italy mentioned above, Italian governmental leaders described Gaddafi's visit as nothing more than a show; for how can Gaddafi resist putting on a show? The former Libyan dictator allegedly ordered his men to give each Italian woman who attended his seminar on Islam a sum of up to €100 and a Quran as a gift. He also asked for 30 Arabian horses to accompany him wherever he went in order to mark the two-year anniversary of the Italian-Libyan peace treaty. Gaddafi also stirred sentiments of discontent when he demanded that his personal tent be set up in the lawn in front of the Academy of Rome.
In addition to these spectacles, Gaddafi also requested that everyone refer to him as the "King of African Kings" in all television interviews and official meetings. Indeed, ousted Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak referred to Gaddafi by this title during a pan-African summit in Sharm El-Sheikh in 2009. Who would have thought that the addresser and the addressee would end up on quite such different paths a few years later?
Gaddafi's loyal men are desperately making sure that his image does not disappear from the minds of the Libyan people, a result of which being that Gaddafi is able to command, demand and stick his nose in matters far beyond his grave. These measures seek to ensure the continuation of Gaddafi's legacy so that the revolution does not continue. Some of these individuals even seek revenge on behalf of Gaddafi himself. What Libya needs today is for someone to lift the curtain of darkness so that the people may see once again. The revolution that removed the tyrant must once again prevail and his legacy must be purged completely in the struggle for freedom in the hearts and minds of the Libyan people. - Middle East Monitor
In 1963 five of my cousins and I were driving around a town on the Fort Belknap Indian reservation when we witnessed a really large bigfoot standing on the hill in front of a full moon across the roadway that we intended to drive on. When I saw the creature I immediately turned the car around and stopped the car and jumped out to see if what I was seeing was a real animal or something that was faked. As I stood out of the car watching it I could see many features of its’ body and face. The main thing that I noticed was the size of its’ pot belly and its’ long hair down over its’ shoulders, its’ legs were shorter in comparison to its’ body and its’ face was more pointed at the chin and jaw than a lot of pictures that I have seen on film and books of bigfoot. It was standing on the west side of the town looking to the Southeast of the town at an area where a large canyon road with some old mining roads that at that time could only be driven on by one car at a time. Before we left to go down the road to find the local policeman of the area I yelled a couple of times to see what it would do but it just kept looking over to the direction of the canyon.
This year I started reading the book called Ra The Extra-Terrestrial in which a female, "channels Ra”, while a man with a couple of Ph.D degrees ask different things about the worlds mysteries. Ra said that Bigfoot was a creature that had come here from another planet 6 million years ago because their planet had been blown up into a million pieces due to a war with another planet. The Van Allen Belt is rock which orbits around our planet is full of radioactive rock according to Ra because they used atomic weaponry in their war with another planet. Ra said that bigfoot was sent here because they needed a planet to finish their evolution but they live in caves around our planet. Since I read that they live in caves I find that satisfies me about what was happening with bigfoot because there are many caves and old abandoned mines in the little Rocky mountains of Montana and the bad lands that are between the mountains and the Missouri River. I had always wondered where bigfoot stayed before I read about its’ cave dwelling preference. Barb
Almost 50 years ago my 3 brothers and sisters were traveling on Fedor Rd, (Northeast Pa) around 8:00 pm. It was a warm evening and the sun had not set yet. We all saw in the sky to our left a “flying saucer” just hovering in the air – very close. If you held a quarter on its flat side at the end of your arm that was the size. It was your typical disk shaped UFO, dark gray in color and clearly metallic, and it we could see small details such as indentations - maybe windows around the bottom of the craft, and a clearer dome shape at the top of the craft. We were all hysterical and screaming and our mother turned onto a larger roadway when that craft followed us above our car and made the turn with us. Our mother raced up the highway (RT 118) toward our home which was only 2 miles ahead. As she turned into our driveway the craft was still overhead but then veered a little off to the left and stopped directly over a barn on our property. We could still clearly see the craft and a red glow coming from the dome on top. All of us scared beyond words, including our mother ran into the house still screaming and crying. (Our ages at the time were 13, 12, 11 and 7.)
That object remained positioned over that barn for the next hour or so glowing red from the dome light. We contacted some close neighbors who saw the craft as well positioned over that barn. It eventually shot up and away into the night sky as it had become dark by then.
I personally will never forget that incident and how it has affected me through my entire life. Since then I have witnessed other UFOs but nothing comes close to that event of that July evening 50 years ago.
