Amazing video footage of two bright UFO lights recorded above Vero Beach, Florida on 27th January 2015

New amazing video footage of two bright UFO lights recorded above Vero Beach,  Florida on 27th January 2015.

Witness said:
These golden objects at the CE-5 event (see www.SiriusDisclosure.com for info on CE-5s) were viewed with very advanced night vision binoculars. There were NO boats or ships seen anywhere in the area of the objects and there were no jets or planes or other airborne objects anywhere near the objects before, during or after the event. There was no smoke which would be seen from flares. They emerged in this dimension suddenly and did not drift or move laterally in the direction of the wind, which was gusty at times. A flare with a small parachute would have visibly drifting significantly to the south during the long duration of the sighting. They were seen in the area of fast-moving and appearing UFOs that were not filmed but were seen the prior evening.

Witness said:
What I first thought was the Moon appeared not to be! Is it a materializing UFO as many ufologists claim UFO’s can do? Many people will have answers of their own! but I can assure you this does not happen often. The odd thing is! this is the second ISS NASA UFO footage published and recorded by us in 1 day withing 24hrs, Our first video was stripped from viewing under YouTube search “UFO” filtered “Today” will this be the second video to be stripped from public viewing? we will soon find out.

Triangle – shaped UFO sighting above San Antonio, Texas on 17th January 2015

New amazing video footage of a triangle – shaped UFO sighting above San Antonio, Texas on 17th January 2015.

Witness said:
This is definitely in a no fly zone, craft had ‘NO RUNNING LIGHTS’ and was completely black. Triangle craft was about 10 to maybe 15′ in height. The consistent steady lights are consistent with known ET CRAFT. Lights do not alternate from color. They are ‘ULTRAVIOLET’ which is why to the naked eye they reflected no light. Only once recorded are you able to see lights. ET craft made absolutely ‘zero noise’!!! I am in direct contact with them!!!

If E.T. Comes Calling

So what happens if the aliens land?  Here, on Earth.

I'm not talking about detecting a radio signal or a laser flash from hundreds of light-years away.  I'm speaking of visitors who actually set their boots on the ground. What do we do?

It may surprise you to learn that there's precious little preparation for such an eventuality.

Now, if you're among the many tens of millions of Americans who think aliens are already afoot in the land, you're confident you know humanity's reaction.  Scoffing denial. 

But face it: Few scientists are convinced by the evidence offered for visitation.  So let's consider the question assuming that the extraterrestrials aren't here. 

First, there's the popular take.  Thanks to a half-century of movies featuring aliens who've steered themselves to our watery world, the public reckons that a landing will play out in only one of two ways: (1) The whole incident, which is usually high on weirdness and low on damage to humans, will be covered up by a paranoid government (think UFOs), or (2) the aliens haven't come in peace and will proceed to either ravage the planet or remodel it to suit themselves (think Independence Day).

But limiting ourselves to this pair of scenarios is cramping our style.  So here's another idea: In a movie being screened at this year's Sundance Film Festival, Danish director Michael Madsen lays out a more cerebral storyline, and one that might be more realistic. In The Visit, a fictional piece presented as documentary, real scientists, politicians, military types, and United Nations officials sit behind their stunningly neat desks and mull over what to do about a house guest who's arrived from the stars.

Of course, before the mulling begins, an off-screen voice offers a solemn disclaimer: "As far as we know, no alien has ever landed on Earth."  This will undoubtedly cause audiences in New Mexico to twist in their seats, but maybe Madsen wants to forestall the misunderstandings that followed Orson Welles' 1938 War of the Worlds broadcast: fiction mistaken for fact.

After that, the film showcases a string of experts ruminating on the difficulties posed by a non-human species landed in the front yard. They mostly address two concerns: How do we handle the public, and what kind of conversation can we have with our guests? 

The former, of course, is a well-known hot-button issue. In fact, and despite the implications of the film, neither world governments nor the United Nations are primed to deal with beings who don't have DNA.  Indeed, they've shown essentially no interest in this issue; for example, the UN has neither adopted nor deliberated protocols to deal with a SETI signal, let alone considered their actions in case of a physical visit.  The UN has plenty of fish to fry, but they're not alien fish.

In The Visit they suddenly are interested.  There's repeated high-level talk of quarantining the evidence and telling the public as little as possible (conspiracy fans shake their heads knowingly), all in the interests of security and the equanimity of the populace.  Unsurprisingly, this is a view more congruent with continental attitudes than American: In Europe the experts, including governments, are presumed to know best.

But in fact, and refreshingly, security's not much of an issue.  Neither public panic nor a military threat occur.  Despite abundant footage of tanks urgently shambling through the forests, there's no face-off with the extraterrestrials. 

You probably have your own views on whether visitors would be benign, but in any case the lack of conflict is certainly for the best. If the UN (or, for that matter, the Pentagon) doesn't have a manual for dealing with extraterrestrial invasion sitting on the shelf, it's not only because these organizations figure the chance of that happening is remote.  It's also because there's not much they could do.  If aliens have the technology to visit Earth, they're at least centuries beyond us technologically.  Picture the asymmetry of the Christian crusaders facing a contemporary military.  If E.T. is here to cause trouble, about the best you could do is negotiate.

The real essence of the encounter pictured in The Visit is not in such mundane matters as whether or not the visitor is going to raze our infrastructure but the sociological implications.  "How does your mind work?" the experts ask.  "Do you have imagination?  A concept of good and evil?"

What we really want to know is how much they are like us.  Sure, maybe it would be nice to understand their rocket technology or ask if they can tell us what really happens at the center of a black hole, but the essential value of extraterrestrial contact would be to calibrate ourselves.

This is a more nuanced line of inquiry.  The Visit, alone among the many films dealing with putative alien encounters, takes it on. 

The Visit is ascetic, spare, and slow-moving -- kind of like space itself.  It makes Last Year at Marienbad look like an action film.  But the purpose of the movie is not simply to tickle your reptilian brain but to prompt you to muse on what you'd want to know about a being from another world with its own environment and its own evolutionary history.  In this sense The Visit dares to go where no sci-fi film has gone before.

Disc-shaped object seen and photographed in Vermont

Date: December, 2003
Location: (Southeast), Vermont, United States

Amateur photographer from Connecticut was setting up his camera, when something caught his attention out of the corner of his eye.  It wasn't like anything he'd seen before. After recovering from the awe in seeing this, he quickly took a picture.

Source: UFOEvidence.org        

        Sighting Report:

Duration of sighting: 30 seconds 
No. of Objects: Single 
No. of Witnesses: 1 

Full Description & Details: I'm a amatuer photographer from Connecticut. One weekend I decided to drive up to Vermont for a day of picture taking. I was very excited because I heard that snow had just recently fell up in the mountains so I was hoping to get some good shots. 

I finally got up to Vermont and just started to drive around aimlessly, hoping to find some good photo ops. Mid-afternoon(about 2-3 pm) I saw this great shot of some mountain with snow blowing all over the place on top of it. That day had about 20mph winds with higher gusts, as you can see in the picture. I parked the car on the side of the road, and stepped out, kneeled down and started to set up my camera to take the picture. 

As I was setting up my camera, something caught my attention out of the corner of my eye. It moved rather slowly, sort of like gliding, but not. It's very hard to explain because I have nothing to compare it to, it wasn't like anything I've seen before. It moved from the left to right in the picture(sorry, but I have no idea what the cardinal directions for that would be). The object looked as if it was having a little bit of trouble flying into the wind. After recovering from the awe in seeing this, I quickly took a picture. RIght after I took the picture it looked like the object stayed in the same sport for a second, and then it QUICKLY jolted all the way to right out of my view. 

I have no idea what this object could have been, and now after viewing this site, I believe it may in fact have been a UFO. I hope this picture interests you as much as it intrests me. 

Personal Background: Student(I rather not say which school) 

Reported Sighting? No 
Location: Connecticut, US 

Case ID: 239

Mysterious Orange Snow Falls on Russian Town

by Paul Seaburn

I survive winters by abiding by these three simple rules: enjoy the white snow, drive carefully in the grey snow and don’t eat the yellow snow. I don’t know what to do if orange snow falls and neither did the residents of the Russian city of Saratov when it was blanketed this week with a deep covering of orange flakes.

Saratov is a major port (population over 800,000) on the Volga River, 858 km (533 miles) from Moscow, and has a moderate (for Russia) climate with an annual snowfall of about 163 centimeters (64 inches) which, until now, has never been orange.

The orange snow was widespread and of various shades of orange along with patches of yellow and brown. Saratov’s residents were rightly skeptical to avoid eating snowflakes or jumping in the juice-colored banks until finding out what caused it. The most likely reason, according to Saratov weather forecast service director Mikhail Boltukhin, was a cyclone that blew colored sand from Africa’s Sahara desert into Siberian snow clouds.

The air coming from the West contains tiny particles of sand, which give the falling snow an orange hue. Similar phenomena have been observed recently in various districts of the region and in other parts of the country, particularly in Crimea.

Officials said the orange snow was “harmless” to humans and animals

Well, the second part is true. In 2007, an orange snow covered over 1500 sq km (570 sq miles) in the Omsk region of Russia. That stuff was oily and smelled rotten and was blamed on the area’s oil industry, although it also contained four times the normal level of iron ore.

Colored snow can have other causes. Red-and-pink watermelon snow is common in alpine regions and gets its colors and telltale smell of watermelon from an algae (Chlamydomonas nivalis). So-called blood snow falls near Blood Falls in Antarctica’s Taylor Glacier for a different reason. Iron-rich saltwater leaking from an ancient reservoir under the glacier oxidizes when it hits the air and turns the waterfall and snow blood red.

Saharan sand, algae, oxidation … or something else. What do you think was the real cause of Saratov’s orange snow?

It’s just some sand … trust us!

‘Impossible’ Quantum Space Engine Actually Works – NASA Test Suggests

A couple of years ago, researchers at NASA’s Johnson Space Center discovered a thruster system which actually generates thrust, despite requiring absolutely zero propellant. The implications of this discovery are far-reaching; applications for space flight and other technologies which require propulsion could one day become far cheaper, allowing space exploration to expand exponentially. The existence of this technology also further validates the fact that energy can be derived from tapping into the quantum vacuum, also known as “zero-point” energy or “free energy.”

 This type of technology uses quantum vacuum fluctuations to create thrust.

“A century from now, it will be well known that: the vacuum of space which fills the universe is itself the real substratum of the universe; vacuum in a circulating state becomes matter; the electron is the fundamental particle of matter and is a vortex of vacuum with a vacuum-less void at the center and is dynamically stable; the speed of light relative to vacuum is the maximum speed that nature has provided and is an inherent property of the vacuum; vacuum is a subtle fluid unknown in material media; vacuum is mass-less, continuous, non viscous, and incompressible and is responsible for all the properties of matter; and that vacuum has always existed and will exist forever. Then scientists, engineers and philosophers will bend their heads in shame knowing that modern science ignored the vacuum in our chase to discover reality for more than a century” – Paramahamsa Tewari (source)

Many materialistically inclined scientists still refuse to accept this fact, simply because it goes against the current framework of accepted knowledge and/or their perception of the world. Regardless of new discoveries that challenge the current laws and theories of science, empirical data that goes against these beliefs (in the name of science) continues to be ignored. This must stop.

The propellant-less thruster is called the Cannae Drive, invented by Guido Fetta, and was tested by NASA over an eight day testing campaign that took place in August of 2013. It showed that a small amount of thrust was indeed achieved inside a container, again, without the use of any fuel. The results were then presented at the 50th Joint Propulsion Conference in Cleveland, Ohio in July the next year.

You can access the paper (titled “Numerical and Experimental Results for a Novel Propulsion Technology Requiring no On-Board Propellant”) that was presented at the conference here and inventor Guido Fetta’s paper here.

The paper is also available on NASA’s website, you can view it here, it’s the first link you see but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to work…

“Approximately 30-50 micro-Newtons of thrust were recorded from an electric propulsion test article consisting primarily of radio frequency (RF) resonant cavity excited at approximately 935 megahertz. Testing was performed on a low-thrust torsion pendulum that is capable of detecting force at a single-digit micronewton level” (source)

According to extremetech.com, the inventor is claiming that the version NASA tested is flawed, which resulted in them collecting far lower thrust readings than the original model can provide. However, that point is irrelevant; the fact remains that there is thrust being generated from the vacuum.

Apparently, humans haven’t quite figured out how to generate energy by pulling it out of the vacuum, but that’s according to mainstream science. At the same time there seems to be plenty of evidence to suggest that yes, we have indeed figured it out, and we might not be the only ones who have. This type of technology is exactly what Jack Kasher, Ph.D (and Professor Emeritus of Physics and the University of Nebraska) was talking about when he made his statement regarding Extraterrestrial space travel.

"There is another way whether it’s wormholes or warping space, there’s got to be a way to generate energy so that you can pull it out of the vacuum, and the fact that they’re here shows us that they found a way.” (source)

This type of propulsion system was also demonstrated by a British researcher named Roger Shawyer, who has had successful tests with what is referred to as the “EmDrive,” which also generates thrust through unconventional means. You can learn more about that here.

The Chinese Academy of sciences also published a paper by Professor Yang Juan providing high power test results. You can read that paper here.

The NASA researchers concluded that examined the Cannae drive closed by saying:

“Future test plans include independent verification and validation at other test facilities.” (source)

Can We Use Quantum Vacum Fluctuations To Provide The World With “Free” Energy/Power? 

“Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point in the universe. This idea is not novel…We find it in the delightful myth of Antheus, who derives power from the earth; we find it among subtle speculations of one of your splendid mathematicians….Throughout space there is energy. Is this energy static, or kinetic? If static our hopes are in vain; if kinetic – and this we know it is, for certain – then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheel work of nature.” – Nikola Tesla (source)

Science has shown us that atoms aren’t just sitting in a void, they’re in fact sitting in a sea of energy. Once physicists realized that this energy is there, the next question was whether it could be tapped, or used to develop new, clean green energy generators that run of off it. The answer is yes. Back in the 1980’s a researcher at Hughes laboratory by the name of Robert Forward demonstrated a phenomenon dubbed the “casimir effect” which proved that yes, this energy could indeed be tapped and possibly used to generate energy itself. (source)

“Vacuums generally are thought to be voids, but Hendrik Casimir believed these pockets of nothing do indeed contain fluctuations of electromagnetic waves. He suggested that two metal plates held apart in a vacuum could trap the waves, creating vacuum energy that could attract or repel the plates. As the boundaries of a region move, the variation in vacuum energy (zero-point energy) leads to the Casimir effect. Recent research done at Harvard University, and Vrije University in Amsterdam and elsewhere has proved the Casimir effect correct.” (source)

For more information on using this type of energy to generate power you can check out the articles below. Again, it would not be solar, wind, fuel-derived energy, that’s why it’s refereed to as “Free Energy.” We are not implying that this energy would be free from cost. This is energy that’s derived from what we call “space.” It exists all around us.

TV show looking for aliens on Earth

A new television show is searching for extraterrestrials. But rather than looking to the stars, this show is looking for visitors right here on planet Earth.

Some believe that extraterrestrials may have visited Earth long ago. And others firmly believe that visitors from other worlds are here now.

This show, which is seemingly working with the tentative title of Aliens Among Us, aims to explore the possibility that extraterrestrials not only exist, but that they actually live among us.

The show is reportedly being produced by an Emmy Award-winning production company for a major television network.

The casting information for the show reads:

• Maybe you arrived here from another planet, but don’t remember how or why? Maybe you’re an alien-human hybrid. Maybe you are married to an alien. Or maybe you have experience studying alien activity.

If you’ve ever met an alien, if you believe you ARE an alien, or if you study extraterrestrial activity, and if you have an interest in participating in this show, send an email to AliensAmongUs1@gmail.com with your name, age, phone number, location, and a couple photos of yourself.

Mysterious sightings in Australia’s skies

IS IT a bird, is it a plane? Wait a second ...

“An unusual atmospheric occurrence” that was taken by RAF Fylingdales in 2004. This strange sighting happened near Sri Lanka. Source: Supplied

Something very strange has been happening in Australia’s skies, baffling even the nation’s top air safety experts.

It turns out that pilots have been reporting sightings of mysterious flying objects for years, but these cases have been kept hush-hush. It’s only now that they are finally coming to light.

And it’s all thanks to two curious scientists: Paul Dean, a Melbourne-based UFO researcher, and Keith Basterfield, the author of UFOs: the Image Hypothesis.

The duo were fascinated by an Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) report into an incident near Perth on March 19 last year involving a flying object, so they delved into the case, and in the process discovered evidence of other similar encounters in Australia that had been kept a secret.

The ATSB report had concluded that an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV — otherwise known as a drone) may have been responsible for the March 19 sighting.

But there are doubts, with an ATSB spokesman telling news.com.au: “The ATSB was not able to confirm the details of the object or identify any UAV operator in the area at that time.”

Details of the incident were provided in the report: “At about 3800 ft above mean sea level, the crew sighted a bright strobe light directly in front of the aircraft. The light appeared to track towards the aircraft and the crew realised that the light was on an unknown object, possibly an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) ...

“The pilot reported that the object was cylindrical in shape and grey in colour.”

The shocked pilot, who had 53 passengers on board, was forced to take evasive action to avoid a collision with the object.

Dean and Basterfield had originally pushed for the case to be classed as a UFO event. However, they have just published a new analysis of the close encounter, and now they believe that someone could be firing rockets at planes, Crikey reports.

Why did they change their minds? The scientists had lodged a freedom of information request with Air Services Australia, asking for information on recent cases of unexplained objects in our skies. They were stunned when the response to their request detailed 13 incidents over the past seven years.

One of these involved a “missile-like object” that was seen dropping in the skies, with a parachute.

Could rockets be to blame? Source: AFP

According to the Airservices Australia response: “(Flight) XKI (DH8C) reported a foreign object of approximate size (1 metre) within close proximity (50ft) of the aircraft causing them to level out briefly as the object passed left hand side. The rocket like object (shaft) was observed to be attached to a parachute. Pilot reported observation at 6800 ft.”

Other strange cases include once that occurred last January, where a pilot spotted “something hovering ... which then disappeared”, and another in September 2012 where “TGW581 reported a red cylindrical object passing the aircraft in the opposite direction when climbing through FL200 approximately 20nm miles south of Sydney.”.

Perhaps even stranger was this account on April 25, 2010 near Mt Jerrabomberra, NSW: “Unidentified (upside down pyramid shaped) object drifting close to final rwy 35 ... Initially drifted west, towards final for rwy 35, before climbing and drifting to the Northeast. Two aircraft (QFA814 and VOZ259) were diverted through noise abatement areas to avoid the object.”

Could it be a UFO? Source: Getty Images

Dean and Basterfield have submitted further freedom of information requests for more details on the cases and continue to analyse the events. You can read more about their research on their website.

So were the objects rockets, or UFOs? For now, nobody is quite sure.

The ATSB declined to comment further on the issue when contacted by news.com.au. Airservices Australia has also been contacted for comment.

A la demande de Barack Obama, le Congrès américain vient de débloquer un budget spécial pour lancer une mission d'exploration vers un satellite de Jupiter. Europa possède en effet un océan de glace qui pourrait abriter la vie. 

Europe, avec ses couleurs naturelles (à gauche) et Europe en surbrillance (à droite) pour faire ressortir les détails.  Images prises par la sonde spatiale Galileo à une distance d'environ 677,000 km.

Nasa

C'est une sorte de feu vert que vient de recevoir la Nasa. Barack Obama a en effet décidé d'augmenter de 2,7% pour le porter à 18,5 milliards de dollars en 2016. Une augmentation validée par le Congrès. Celle-ci va notamment servir à financer les 30 millions nécessaires aux travaux préparatoires à une mission d'exploration d'Europa (ou Europe), une lune de Jupiter qui pourrait abriter la vie. A cela s'ajoutent 255 millions de dollars programmés sur les 5 prochaines années et 100 millions de dollars déjà alloués pour l'année en cours, explique The new scientist. 

Le projet Europa Clipper

Le programme, mûri depuis les années 1990, commencera par la construction d'une sonde spatiale appelée "Europa Clipper", en vue d'un lancement au milieu des années 2020. Les responsables du projet vont en effet devoir trouver des solutions à plusieurs difficultés techniques. Comme l'explique Sara Susca, ingénieure du système informatique, il est difficile de pénétrer dans l'orbite de la planète en raison d' "une jungle de radiation autour de Jupiter." Il faudra donc prévoir des boucliers pour protéger les capteurs électroniques de la sonde. Les chercheurs auront jusqu'au printemps 2015 pour présenter "les instruments qui seront à bord" avant de passer à l'étape suivante.  

"Compte tenu de ces difficulté, la sonde risque de rester en orbite autour de Jupiter et de faire de multiples approches d'Europa, plutôt que d'attérir ou d'orbiter autour de la lune elle-même, croit savoir The New Scientist. Cela rendra la mission moins onéreuse et plus sûre." 

Les principales tâches de "Europa Clipper" seront de photographier la surface du satellite et d'analyser la vapeur d'eau de ses geysers. 

Dernière version de Europa Clipper avec un "coffre-fort" (vault) au centre contre les radiations, septembre 2013.

Nasa

Pourquoi Europa?

Europe que l'on nomme "lune galliléenne" est couvert de glaces. Certains scientifiques pensent que l'océan caché sous cette couche polaire pourrait abriter une eau propice à une forme de vie. Des recherches dans ce sens avaient eu lieu sur la planète Mars à la mi-janvier, mais le rééquilibrage du budget en faveur d'Europe devrait nuire aux avancées sur la Planète Rouge. La Nasa avait déjà lancé en 2011 la sonde Juno vers Jupiter. Celle-ci doit arriver en juillet 2016.

The 1941 Cape Girardeau UFO Crash

By BILL WICKERSHAM

Bill Wickersham

On its website (www.ufocenter.com), the Seattle-based National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) has accounts of 1,857 UFO sightings observed throughout most sections of Missouri since the early 1950s. Because only about 5 percent of UFO witnesses actually report their experiences, the total number of Missouri UFO encounters is, no doubt, much higher.      

An account of a UFO crash in southeast Missouri preceded the well-known Roswell, N.M., crash by almost six years. In 1991, the late Leonard Stringfield, an early UFO investigator and former civilian consultant to UFO operations at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, in the 1950s, published an account of an alleged 1941 UFO crash near Cape Girardeau. Stringfield’s article appeared in the July 1991 issue of his “Status Report,” a monthly publication on UFO activities and investigations. The article was based on information received from Charlette Mann, who was a young child living in Cape Girardeau in 1941. At the time, Charlette’s grandfather, the Rev. William Huffman, was pastor of Cape’s Red Star Baptist Church.

Charlette told Stringfield her grandfather received a call in spring 1941 from local police asking him to travel with them to the site of an airplane crash outside the city limits to minister to the victims of the crash. When the Rev. Huffman arrived on the scene, police officers, firefighters, FBI agents, emergency medical crew and numerous military personnel — presumably from the Army air base in nearby Sikeston — were viewing what Huffman described as a disc-shaped object, the interior of which contained a small metal chair, gauges, dials and hieroglyphic-like inscriptions and writings around the inside. He also saw three entitles, or “non-human people,” lying on the ground. Two were just outside the craft, with a third somewhat farther away. He described the bodies as hairless with large heads, big eyes, small mouths and very small ears. The Rev. Huffman said the dead individuals were about 4 feet tall and seemed to have no hard bone structure but very long arms and fingers.

Daily 2 Cents: Roswell Alien Slides Reveal -- Loch Ness Monster Evidence...Lost? -- Psychic On Trial For Death He 'Predicted'

The Public Reveal of the Roswell Alien Slides
By Anthony Bragalia

What some say represents stunning visual evidence of a humanoid creature that was found crashed near Roswell, NM in 1947 will soon to be released in an international livestream event. Referred to by some as “the Roswell Slides,” the Kodachrome images have now been authenticated by expert scientists and their provenance has been confirmed. During that long process many have speculated about precisely what these pictures show.  People will now be able to see for themselves with the public reveal of the slides on May 5th 2015.

The event will include presenters Dr. Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man on the Moon, as well as noted authors and Roswell investigators Tom Carey and Don Schmitt. Transmitted live from the 10,000 seat National Auditorium in Mexico City, the history and background context of the slides (as well as other facets of the case) will be detailed. Tom Carey, who made international news when he announced the discovery of the slides at American University in Washington, DC last month, will be providing more information and logistical details on the event shortly.

Best Loch Ness Monster Evidence...Lost? Creature Left Flesh On Boat’s Propeller After Collision

What may have been the best evidence that the Loch Ness Monster is indeed real was inadvertently destroyed almost 40 years ago, after a rented pleasure boat suffered a violent collision with an unknown object in Scotland’s vast and mysterious lake widely believed to house the bizarre sea creature.

One of the passengers on the rented boat, an elderly man, was so frightened by the collision with an unseen object that he suffered a heart attack and died shortly thereafter — making the unfortunate boater perhaps the only human fatality claimed by an encounter with the Loch Ness Monster.

The reported collision in 1978 was not even the first reported on the mist-enshrouded lake in the Scottish Highlands between a boat and the strange occupant of the 22 square-mile lake, which reaches depths of up to 755 feet. In 1943 a Royal Navy boat ran directly into what the boat’s commander described as “a very large animal… a living creature.”

But the 1978 collision could have yielded incontrovertible evidence of that the Loch Ness Monster exists, because the collision is said to have wounded the creature — which left large shards of its flesh on the boat’s propeller shaft.

Stanley Roberts, now 85, who owned the rental boat back in 1978, described the remnants of the monster that were attached to the underside of his boat as “found flesh and black skin an inch thick along the propshaft.”

But before he knew what had happened, workers who were repairing the damaged boat simply tossed the flesh into the water.

“The workers chiseled the flesh away and threw it into the Caledonian Canal,” Roberts recalled, in an interview last week with the Scotland Now news site. “I said you stupid b*******s. It would have proved that Nessie was here.”

Had the organic material been preserved, given DNA-reading techniques available with today’s technology, scientists would likely have been able to determine exactly what hit the boat — and as a result, finally learned what the fabled Loch Ness Monster actually is.

There have been countless sightings of “Nessie” since the 1930s, when the “Monster” first became a worldwide sensation. In 2012, a Loch Ness Monster researcher, George Edwards, took what he believes is the clearest photograph yet of a large, living creature in the lake’s waters. - Inquisitr

How often is Punxsutawney Phil correct?

Has the famous woodchuck of 'Groundhog Day' fame ever managed to make an accurate prediction ?

It was the bane of Bill Murray's existence in the 1993 Harold Ramis movie, but despite being an unlikely premise the actual Groundhog Day ceremony is a real thing that still takes place at the beginning of February each year across the United States.

Punxsutawney Phil, the groundhog in the movie, continues to be part of the largest Groundhog Day celebration in Pennsylvania where large crowds still gather in anticipation of finding out whether or not spring is likely to arrive early.

According to the tradition, if the groundhog emerges and sees its own shadow then there will be six more weeks of winter whereas if it sees no shadow then the warmer weather will arrive sooner.

To determine just how accurate Punxsutawney Phil actually is at predicting the seasons a team at the Washington Post brought together and analyzed temperature statistics for the last 30 years.

What they found was that while Phil's predictions were correct more often than not for some areas of the country, the overall average temperature between the years in which he predicted a longer winter and the years in which he predicted an early spring varied by only a few degrees.

In other words Phil's predictions have boiled down to little more than random chance. - Live Science

Psychic to Stand Trial for Death He 'Predicted'

Nearly 12 years after her body was found floating in a pool on a rural Valley Center compound called Angel’s Landing, Patricia Hughes’ death remains a mystery.

Some say the 26-year-old mother accidentally slipped and hit her head, drowning in an attempt to rescue her 2-year-old daughter from the water.

Some suggest she committed suicide.

Still others, including the Sedgwick County District Attorney’s Office, think she was killed – her head held beneath the water until she quit breathing – for $2 million in life insurance money.

The question will come to the fore this week as Daniel U. Perez heads to trial in Sedgwick County Court on 38 criminal charges, including first-degree premeditated murder in Hughes’ death.

The charges against the 55-year-old Perez – which also include rape, sodomy, sexual exploitation of a child, aggravated assault, criminal threat and directing that false information be put on life insurance and car credit applications – are associated with a communal lifestyle he led in Kansas with a group known as “the family.”

Perez has pleaded not guilty to the charges. Jury selection in the case is scheduled to begin Monday.

According to witnesses who testified at his preliminary hearing in June 2012, Perez lived on a 20-acre compound in the 9500 block on North Oliver, had no job and was the leader of a traveling entourage who lived off of life insurance benefits paid from the deaths of about a dozen others involved.

Perez directed the amounts and who received millions in payouts from the policies, according to testimony. But he never was himself listed as a beneficiary.

Perez, witnesses testified, had used the name Lou Castro. He was controlling and sometimes violent, they said, forcing girls and women to have sex against their will.

He had used false names and aliases since 1997, when he was convicted of child sex crimes in Texas but fled before sentencing, according to court documents.

After Hughes died on June 26, 2003, in the compound’s pool, the coroner ruled her death accidental. Her autopsy showed she suffered three blunt force injuries to her head.

Eight years later, a 20-year-old came forward with unsettling information: She said the young mother had been murdered.

Series of deaths

According to testimony from witnesses in June 2012, those surrounding Perez at the Angel’s Landing compound believed the 5-foot-6 man was “a seer” who could foretell the future. He claimed to be hundreds of years old, to have three different persona and to need sex from someone pure, like young girls, to survive.

He is charged with multiple counts of sex acts with minors.

For years, the deaths of people in Kansas and other states who were associated with Perez’s communal “family” had raised questions. Hughes, a wife and mother, was one of about a dozen, according to court documents.

Others included Hughes’ husband, who was crushed to death by a car in South Dakota after a jack slipped; their child’s guardian, who met her death when her SUV swerved in front of a dump truck in Butler County; and a woman killed along with her 12-year-old daughter and her boyfriend in a plane crash in South Dakota. (Hughes received $700,000 in life insurance money from the plane crash victim.)

Like the others, Hughes’ death seemed nothing more than a tragic, unintended turn of fate. The official story was that she slipped and hit her head while rushing down a pool step to rescue her 2-year-old daughter, who had fallen in while they and a neighbor girl cleaned the pool.

Apparently, she did not know how to swim.

But then a grown woman told a detective who approached her in 2011 that she helped stage the drowning. She was 12 at the time.

The woman, whom The Eagle is not naming because she alleges she is a victim of sexual assault, testified in June 2012 that Perez foretold Hughes’ death about a week before it happened and enlisted her help. She said Hughes knew she would die on June 26, 2003, and kissed her daughter and offered reassurance that she would return after “crossing over” before she walked to the pool.

The woman in her testimony said Perez had ordered her to wait in a shop by the pool with Hughes’ 2-year-old daughter for 20 minutes, saying that he would retrieve her later and she would take the toddler and jump into the water. After some time, she heard splashing and thought she heard a scream, then Perez came in, the woman testified.

His forearms were wet but not his clothes, she said in 2012, and he seemed out of breath.

Hughes was in the shallow end of the pool when she took the toddler into the water, the woman testified.

As a girl, she told a 911 emergency operator that the 26-year-old mother had slipped and that she was able to rescue her daughter, but she couldn’t pull Hughes out of the pool.

Perez, she testified, had directed her to do so. He was at a car dealership when paramedics arrived.

Hughes’ death was reclassified as a homicide on Sept. 1, 2011. Perez was booked into Sedgwick County Jail about 4 1/2 months later; he remains there on $2.1 million bond.

In court in 2012, then-Deputy Sedgwick County District Attorney Marc Bennett argued that a person can’t drown himself or herself. Defense attorney Alice Osburn suggested that perhaps Hughes committed suicide.

District Judge Joseph Bribiesca is scheduled to preside over Perez’s trial. Bennett, now the district attorney, said Sunday the proceedings likely will last more than a week. - Kansas Eagle

Power Plant explosion in Escanaba, Michigan accompanied by strange beam of light! (Video)

Lately strange things happen in the skies. We see a lot of strange unnatural fireballs, strange objects falling from the skies, flashing spheres and laser beams in space recorded by the ISS Live stream HD cam.

And now, Escanaba residents awoke Monday to find themselves without power after a mysterious explosion at a power plant in Escanaba, Michigan that has left much of the area in the dark.

According to Allnewspipeline, the explosion was accompanied by a strange light that one reader said "shot straight down from the heavens." While the local media attempted to explain away the light as an oncoming train, most readers weren't buying it. Read more

UFO mania: Giant Megaliths Found in Siberia Could Be Largest in the World

Found in Siberia Could Be Largest in the World

The word is starting to spread through websites that explore mysterious events and artifacts from history that megaliths found in Gornaya Shoria (Mount Shoria), Siberia, could be the largest in the world.

The first person to report this news was amateur researcher John Jensen, who had previously gained some attention for identifying unusual formations off the east coast of the United States.  He came across photos recently taken of a team exploring the megaliths and information about the megaliths posted on Russian websites. One of the websites was that of Valery Uvarov, a Russian author interested in the Egyptian pyramids. The stones may be larger than the Baalbek stones in Lebanon, which are currently thought to be the largest used in an ancient structure. Comparing photos of both sites, with people standing next to the stones to provide a sense of scale, the largest pictured Gornaya Shoria stones seem a third or so bigger than the Baalbek stones, which weigh about 800 tons. 

The average weight of stones used to build the Great Pyramid is about 2.5 tons. The Stonehenge megaliths are about 50 tons each. The stones at Gornaya Shoria are stacked about 130 feet (40 meters) high, according to Jensen. They appear to be carved into rectangular blocks, with some forming passageways.

NASA ponders the implications of the discovery of extraterrestrial life

February 4, 2015 - One of the big questions regarding the discovery of extraterrestrial life, even if it is an itty-bitty microbe, is what impact it would have on society. Some have suggested that people will freak out and religions will crumble. Others think the news will be met with a resounding, “meh.”

To examine the effects of the discovery of extraterrestrial life, whether it be a microbe, or a radio transmission from an advanced civilization, NASA has turned to one of their former chief historians, Steven Dick.

Dick is the current Baruch S. Blumberg NASA-Library of Congress Chair in Astrobiology. He is an astronomer, author, and from 2003 to 2009 served as NASA’s chief historian. Dick began his current position in late 2013, and was tasked with “examining historical impacts of astrobiology.” This includes, “working both individually and with other scholars to determine systematically the critical issues and optimal approaches to studying the societal impact of the discovery of microbial or intelligent extraterrestrial life.”

The later has been of particular interest to Dick. He has written several books on the topic. He hosted a recent Symposium on these issue as well. It was held in September at the Library of Congress, and was free and open to the public.

An interview with Dick was recently posted on the website of Astrobiology Magazine. He told them, “It’s very farsighted for NASA to fund a position like this. They have all their programs in astrobiology, they fund the scientists, but here they fund somebody to think about what the implications might be. It’s a good idea to do this, to foresee what might happen before it occurs.”

So what does Dick think might happen? Well, for starters, even if the discovery was only a microbe, Dick says, “it would have an effect on science, especially biology, by universalizing biology.” Dick continued, “We only have one case of biology on Earth. It’s all related. It’s all DNA-based. If we found an independent example on Mars or Europa, we have a chance of forming a universal biology.”

However, Dick also points out that such a discovery would be a long arduous process. “I’ve done a book about discovery in astronomy, and it’s an extended process,” Dick pointed out. “It’s not like you point your telescope and say, ‘Oh, I made a discovery.’ It’s always an extended process: You have to detect something, you have to interpret it, and it takes a long time to understand it. As for extraterrestrial life, the Mars rock showed it could take an extended period of years to understand it.”

The Mars rock Dick refers to is meteorite ALH84001. It was discovered in the Antarctic in 1984. After 10 years of study, scientists had determined it came from Mars. Then,  in 1996, scientists declared that structures observed on the meteorite showed evidence of biological activity. The news that it was the first time we had found evidence of life on a planet other than our own was a pretty big deal. President Bill Clinton held a press conference, and the Senate Science, Technology and Space Subcommittee of the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee held a hearings.

However, there were dissenting views. Many scientists came forward to express their opinions that the evidence observed in the rock could all have been formed without the presence of  biological activity. The last congressional hearing, held on September 25, 1996, concluded that “more studies are needed and the only way this can be accomplished is by sending additional spacecraft to Mars to collect more samples.”

In essence, they called it a draw, and the debate continues.

Dick is also examining the effects of contact with more complex extraterrestrials, such as those that might contact us via radio signals. The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) is monitoring the great void of space for those signals, should they exist, but what if they begin to receive messages?

“There is also the question of what I call astro-ethics,” Dick said. “How do you treat alien life? How do you treat it differently, ranging from microbes to intelligence? So we had a philosopher at our symposium talking about the moral status of non-human organisms, talking in relation to animals on Earth and what their status is in relation to us.”

Some of Dick’s colleagues, and fellow presenters at his Symposium at the Library of Congress, examined some of these issues in a film that recently premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. Meanwhile,  Dick continues to look into these issues and plans on writing more books on the topic.
