Ruimtestation ISS lijkt wel een UFO-knooppunt ( Video )
Ruimtestation ISS lijkt wel een UFO-knooppunt ( Video )
Zolang er in de mainstream media niet van NASA uitleg wordt geëist over de gebeurtenissen bij het ISS ruimtestation en de mensheid niet wordt geïnformeerd, blijven wij beelden en interpretaties ervan publiceren. Ooit zal de rest van de wereld toch ook beseffen dat daar bijzondere dingen gebeuren waarvan gepoogd wordt die uit ons zicht te houden?
Zo goed als iedere dag worden er ruimteschepen waargenomen in de buurt van het ISS ruimtestation.
Voorlopig blijft de wereld verder slapen en gelooft men het allemaal wel want er gebeuren andere, veel belangrijkere en spannendere dingen in onze wereld zoals Frans Bauer die het carnaval heeft afgetrapt als reuze cupcake.
Ondertussen bij het ISS. Een UFO die langskomt en dat niet alleen, maar ook nog even aan en uit knippert alsof hij de rest van mensheid wil begroeten of in ieder geval de bemanning van het ISS.
Deze UFO is weer “gevangen” door een oude bekende, Streetcap1. Hieronder de video waarin je kunt zien dat de UFO “aan en uit” knippert.
Wat ook mooi is om te zien, zijn de foto’s hieronder die wij van een lezer mochten ontvangen (dank!).
De eerste is een opname waarbij je links een UFO ziet hangen. Als leek zou je denken dat je hier de maan ziet?
De volgende twee zijn ook bijzonder want deze laten de bekende sigaarvormige UFO zien vlakbij het ruimtestation.
Het is vanwege betrokken mensen zoals bovengenoemde lezer dat NASA het scherm zo vaak uit/op blauw zet, maar dat er ook altijd prachtige opnames door de mazen van het net blijven glippen.
Television Production Crew Records On Video A Hovering Large UFO Over Peru
Television Production Crew Records On Video A Hovering Large UFO Over Peru
The production team of the television show Alto al Crimen spotted a UFO hovering in the sky above Miraflores district of Lima, Peru. While filming for the show on the morning of February 10, Tuesday, several members of the production crew noticed a strange hovering object.
Peruvian Congressman and the host of the TV show Renzo Reggiardo was among those people in the production who witnessed the strange event.
The crew had just started filming Reggiardo for his program Alto al Crimen when the camera caught something that distracted the cameraman floating in the distant sky. The crew got curious about the floating thing, so they decided to postpone the filming for a few moments. They tried to take a better look at the mysterious aerial object.
The witnesses recorded the strange activity with their cameras and mobile phones.
Eduardo Chávez Guerra, one of the members of the production crew, uploaded videos of the object to YouTube. The videos appear to be recorded using a professional-grade camera and in 1080p quality. However, the UFO itself had no clear details visible in the videos. Many wondered why the production crew failed to use a tripod to get a better video of something so strange.
Some think the UFO that appears on videos is an awful computer-generated hoax, but it’s unlikely, although not impossible, that Congressman Reggiardo would let himself part of a hoax. Others believe that the UFO is a drone or a paraglider at the beach near the area. Some also suggested a plastic bag as the actual identity of the UFO. But witnesses stressed that these suggestions are unacceptable because the hovering object was too big and remained floating for nearly two hours.
UFO crashing from space over Dawlish, Devon on 10th February 2015
UFO crashing from space over Dawlish, Devon on 10th February 2015
New interesting video footage recorded a UFO while crashing from space over Dawlish, Devon on 10th February 2015.
Witness said: A craft from outer space or just a burning piece of space rubble? The intriguing video has captured the imagination of sky-watchers. This video shows the dramatic moment a giant glowing UFO appears to land in the sea off a UK beach – in a suspected METEOR strike. The footage, filmed from a fixed camera on the shore at Dawlish, Devon, shows the meteor flying through the sky before it appears to hit the water. The operator of the fixed camera later wrote posted on Facebook: “What was caught on camera the other night? Was it a bird or a plane, maybe even Superman?” Many sky-watchers took to social networks to discuss the shock sighting – with some speculating it was a UFO from outer space.
2 police officers report Mile Wide UFO over Brazoria County, Texas on 3rd September 1965
2 police officers report Mile Wide UFO over Brazoria County, Texas on 3rd September 1965
It was September 3, 1965 when they spotted the mile wide UFO with Purple and Blue Lights.
Witness said: On the back roads of Brazoria County, somewhere between Damon and West Columbia along Highway 36, they still talk about a pair of purple and blue lights. It’s the story of Brazoria County Deputy Bob Goode and Chief Deputy Billy Edwin McCoy.
Called one of the most interesting cases he has ever worked on by one of the investigators, the story of the “Virginia Giant” is actually a nickname for a pair of sightings, one of them involving an occupant, which occurred in late May 1971 outside a small rural Virginia community located near Fredericksburg. According to investigators John Carlson and Bruce Maccabee, who until recently were still gathering data about the alleged sightings, the case was hampered by the very attitude that made this “occupant” case such an interesting one — the family’s strong desire to avoid publicity — a characteristic not always present in cases involving an “occupant.” It was a dark, cloudy night that three boys and a German Shepherd had picked to camp out in a nearby field. Two of the youths had decided to investigate the sound of a car horn heard in the distance while the third youth and his dog “Lucky” decided to stay behind. Walking through the large, open field, the third boy noted that he had a strange feeling that something was behind him. He turned but saw nothing. Moments later he turned again and observed a glowing “thing” over a pond located in the open field. The object moved slowly from its position over the pond and moved towards the youth, finally stopping near the youth, and slowly settled to the ground. Before completing its descent, the object, according to the youth, extended “legs” from its underside. After the craft landed, a door opened straight down toward him and a “man” walked out. According to the witness’s description, the creature was “powerfully huge,” had long arms and was shiny in appearance. In one hand it carried a “glowing box.” The creature looked around, then started moving in the youth’s direction, who by this time was crouching in the tall grass. The witness’s dog allegedly snarled at the “occupant” and began to approach it. The creature turned around in a “stiff, bouncing fashion” and returned to his craft. The door of the craft closed and about ten minutes later the craft “just lifted off.”
The witness was found a few minutes later still crouched in the grass and apparently in shock by his two fellow campers. The witness told his companions of his encounter and all three quickly returned to their homes. Two nights later another sighting occurred in the same vicinity. While the second sighting did not involve an occupant, it did add credence to the first sighting, according to the investigators, because of the large number of witnesses and the similarities in description of the UFO. Two sisters of the youth who reported the “occupant” were returning home from a night class along the family’s long, winding driveway when they became aware of a humming sound and red lights apparently coming from above their car. Almost immediately, according to NICAP’s file on the case, the car’s engine stalled, the headlights went out, and the car radio went off. From inside the car the girls said they could see a disc-shaped, glowing white object hovering approximately 50 feet above their tree-lined driveway. After about five minutes the girls were able to start the car and race the remaining few yards towards home — as they did, the craft continued to follow them. Attracted outside by the sounds of a car racing up the driveway, two brothers rushed outside to investigate and observed a “gigantic saucer-shaped thing” following their sister’s car up the driveway. The object followed the car up to the house and continued to hover above it for a few minutes before finally drifting off and out of sight over the horizon. – NICAP (1971)
The witness was traveling along East Lake Road in Palm Harbor, FL, on February 5, 2015, when the hovering boomerang-shaped UFO was seen. Pictured: Palm Harbor, FL. (Credit: Google)
A Florida witness at Palm Harbor reported watching a hovering, boomerang-shaped UFO with three bright white lights, according to testimony in Case 63122 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness and his wife as a passenger were driving northbound along East Lake Road and approaching a stop light when the object was first seen on February 5, 2015.
“I looked up at approximately 70 degrees and noticed a series of three bright, white lights,” the witness stated. “There were no red aircraft lights.”
There was a 10-second gap when the object was obscured by trees – but during the second sighting it again appeared to be hovering. Pictured: Palm Harbor, FL. (Credit: Google)
As the witness vehicle moved toward the object, trees obstructed their view. But another 40 yards later, they saw the object again.
“The object reappeared approximately at the same location where it was first sighted, indicating it had not moved from the point where it was first sighted 10 seconds before.”
The object again seemed to be hovering in a stationary position in the sky under 500 feet and less than 500 feet from the witness.
“There were no flashing or colored lights. There was no fuselage, only a boomerang-shaped wing with a white light at the apex and one on each wing tip.”
The witness moved when the light changed and they circled back in about three minutes only to see that the object was gone.
“I probably could have subtended the object with my extended hand. This is not a familiar flight path. It was dark except for street lights and a full moon which did not interfere with the sighting, however, it may have served to back light the object and make the silhouette of the wing easy to see. The lights were large in proportion to the actual wing they appeared affixed to, making the proportions different than a passing aircraft. It was over in about 10 seconds or less, but it was really cool.”
The entire sighting lasted approximately 10 seconds. Pictured: Palm Harbor, FL. (Credit: Google)
Palm Harbor is a community in Pinellas County, Florida, population 57,439.
Florida is currently a UFO Alert Level 5 – with 1.92 sightings per million population based on MUFON January 2015 statistics. Florida received a total of 37 UFO reports in January.
The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels – 1 through 5 – where states with 4.01 or higher reports per million residents are rated an Alert 1; 3.01 – 4.0 reports are an Alert 2; 2.51 – 3.0 are an Alert 3; 2.01 – 2.5 are an Alert 4; and those states with 2.0 or lower are rated an Alert 5.
Please remember that most UFO sighting can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

Obama advisor still frustrated by his inability to force UFO file disclosure
Obama advisor still frustrated by his inability to force UFO file disclosure

John Podesta has concluded his service as Counselor to President Barack Obama.
In January 2015, he announced that he would be stepping down from his White House position to work with Hillary Clinton on what many suspect to be a presidential campaign.

On Friday, February 13, Podesta posted on Twitter, “My last day as Counselor to President Obama. It’s been a tremendous privilege to serve a great President and the country for this last year.” But, more interesting is his Tweet that reveals his “biggest failure of 2014,” which he says was “not securing the disclosure of the UFO files.”
Podesta is a known sci-fi enthusiast and big fan of the TV show The X-Files. But his interest in the UFO subject goes beyond simple sci-fi TV show fandom.
He served as Bill Clinton’s Chief of Staff, and was charged by the administration with the task of declassifying millions of government documents. Podesta even spoke at a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, DC about the importance of declassifying UFO files. He stated, “It is time for the government to declassify records that are more than 25 years old, and to provide scientists with data that will assist in determining the real nature of this phenomenon.”
Although Podesta’s Twitter post about his inability to force UFO disclosure being his “biggest failure” was likely made in jest, he remains a proponent of government disclosure. After trying with Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, maybe he’ll have more luck under Hillary’s administration.

UFO mania: Who lives on Titan?
UFO mania: Who lives on Titan?
Cassini-Huygens landing photos. Many astronomers and astrobiologists think that Titan – with its thick atmosphere of methane and liquid hydrocarbon lakes – could harbor some form of life. 50% larger than Earth’s moon and 80% more massive, Titan is an analog to the early Earth. Take a look at this video:
A minuscule metal object was discovered by a team of researchers at the University of Buckingham and say that it is of alien origin and may be a micro-organism deliberately sent by extraterrestrials to create life on earth.
“One theory is it was sent to Earth by some unknown civilization in order to continue seeding the planet with life,” Wainwright hypothesizes.
“This seeming piece of science fiction — called ‘directed panspermia’ — would probably not be taken seriously by any scientist were it not for the fact that it was very seriously suggested by the Nobel Prize winner of DNA fame, Francis Crick,” said Wainwright.
Panspermia is a theory that suggests life spreads across the known physical universe, hitchhiking on comets or meteorites.
The idea of directed panspermia was suggested by Crick, a molecular biologist, who was the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA in 1953. Twenty years later, Crick co-wrote — with biochemist Leslie Orgel — a scientific paper about directed panspermia.
The abstract of their manuscript states:
It now seems unlikely that extraterrestrial living organisms could have reached the Earth either as spores driven by the radiation pressure from another star or as living organisms imbedded in a meteorite. As an alternative to these nineteenth-century mechanisms, we have considered Directed Panspermia, the theory that organisms were deliberately transmitted to the Earth by intelligent beings on another planet.
We conclude that it is possible that life reached the Earth in this way, but that the scientific evidence is inadequate at the present time to say anything about the probability. We draw attention to the kinds of evidence that might throw additional light on the topic.
In contrast to what Crick-Orgel speculated about in 1973, four decades later, a team of scientists, led by astronomer-astrobiologist Chandra Wickramasinghe of the Buckingham Center for Astrobiology, announced they had found fossils with biological properties attached to a meteorite (check out the slideshow at the bottom of this story) that fell in Sri Lanka.
Of course, these controversial claims bring forth the skeptical side of science.
In the case of the meteorite fossils, astronomer Phil Plait wrote that the scientists didn’t do a good enough job convincing him there were actual fossils in that meteorite. Wainwright and his team launched balloons nearly 17 miles into Earth’s stratosphere, and when they examined the material collected by one of the balloons (like the one pictured below), they discovered a small crash mark which indicated to them that the microscopic, circular object didn’t simply land softly.
“On hitting the stratosphere sampler, the sphere made an impact crater, a minute version of the huge impact crater on Earth caused by the asteroid said to have killed off the dinosaurs,” Wainwright said.
Even with this more recent discovery of a tiny globe found lodged into a high-flying balloon, the alien space seed proponents know they have a long way to go before that can be proven and accepted by the scientific community.
“Unless, of course, we can find details of the civilization that is supposed to have sent it in this respect, it is probably an unprovable theory,” Wainwright conceded.

'Vallende ster' ontploft boven Nieuw-Zeeland - HLN.be
'Vallende ster' ontploft boven Nieuw-Zeeland - HLN.be
Bron: Huffington Post, Twitter, The New Zealand Herald
video De nachthemel boven Nieuw-Zeeland is woensdag opgeschrikt door verschillende explosies en een lichtspel. Volgens lokale experts ging het om een ontploffing van een meteoor in onze dampkring, schrijft The New Zealand Herald.
Honderden Nieuw-Zeelanders van over heel de eilandengroep waren eergisteravond getuige van de natuurpracht, meldt Huffington Post. Josh Sherbone filmde de ontploffing per toeval met een dashcam en zette de beelden op YouTube.
Auckland CDEM
Noel Manford van de Palmerston North Astronomical Society schat dat de meteoor, vallende ster in de volksmond, de omvang van een cricketbal had en met een snelheid van bijna 40.000 meter per seconde onze dampkring binnenvloog.
"Zeker geen bliksem" De civiele bescherming van Auckland stuurde na het fenomeen omstreeks 22 uur deze tweet de wereld in: "De flits vanavond was zeker geen bliksem, hoogstwaarschijnlijk een meteoor." Astronoom Grant Christie vermoedt dat de vallende ster op ongeveer 30 kilometer boven onze aardbol uit elkaar spatte.

Valentine’s day this year is going to be on a Full Moon. Although the Americanized date picked out to celebrate love might not have much to do with that after all but several saints who were honored and remembered on that day. The full moon is a symbol of power and on this day at its highest peak it is going to be important to remember to honor each other with respect, passion and goodwill. We can remember to value each other all year long but on this date we can recognize and acknowledge the love we have for those around us. Below, I want to share some beautiful stories of love.

ST. VALENTINE'S DAYby Pat Regan.
The early Church was highly skilled at transforming the spiritual loyalties and traditions of the Pagan populace over to the new intolerant monotheistic credo. Elated Pagan spring festivities, relating to love and desire, came under the iron-fisted conversion remit of the sexually-repressive Church. Therefore, let us explore this matter in more detail.

WHAT ARE YOU GIVING YOUR SWEETHEART FOR WEREWOLF’S DAY?by Brad Steiger .
The early Christian Church fathers (circa 270 A.D.) were well aware of the popularity of a vast number of heathen gods and goddesses, as well as the dates of observation of pagan festivals, so they set about replacing as many of the entities and the holidays as possible with ecclesiastical saints and feast days. Mid-February had an ancient history of being devoted to acts of love of a far more passionate and lusty nature than the Church wished to bless, and the bishops moved as speedily as possible to claim the days of February 14 through 17 as belonging to Saint Valentine, a courageous martyr to the ties that bound couples in Christian love.

UFOLOGY - Challenging More Clichésby Nick Pope.
In last month’s column I examined various clichés, tropes and often-repeated mantras, debunking a few myths and misconceptions, and probably upsetting a few people in the die-hard debunker and true believer camps alike. But the whole purpose of this column is to be provocative and to stimulate lively debate, so with that in mind, this month I intend to put some more claims under the microscope and see if they hold up to scrutiny. With apologies, as with last month’s column, this may make uncomfortable reading for some. More....
THE CORRELATION BETWEEN SUNSPOT ACTIVITY AND ET VISITSby Steve Pearse.
We currently have at least three indications that 2016, and the years immediately following, have the potential to bring another chance for open Contact between extraterrestrials and humanity. If world governments don’t repeat the insane mistakes they made during the 1940’s and 1950’s – a big if – and we can get a grip on our rapidly declining geopolitical situation, the door may open again for humanity to meet at least some of the Visitors we know are out there.

THE UFO PHENOMENON IN SALTA, ARGENTINA - A SUBSTANTIATED STORYby Scott Corrales.
Northern Argentina has a long history of enigmas, a mysterious angle that constitutes an important part of local culture. In recent years, one mystery has repeated increasingly in the skies of Salta - UFO sightings. Reports repeat themselves, some surprising, other questionable, some of them including the so-called "encounters of the third kind". In cities or lonely places, jungles, rivers and dams, the UFO phenomenon has become gradually more frequent. Moreover, the massification of technologies able to record events of this sort give us the possibility of gaining access to a variety of accounts. More...

PARALYZING UFOS AND SECRECYby Steve Erdmann.
"There are two things I know with certainty about the UFO phenomena. One is that the phenomenon is real,” says author Robert Salas, “that is, real objects of unearthly origin are visiting our airspace. My second certainty is that the phenomenon of people being abducted by sentient beings who are operating these unknown craft, is also a reality. These conclusions do not come from hypotheses, guesses, theories, or concepts that I used to convince myself of these realities. They come from my life experiences.” More...
ORFEO ANGELUCCI'S SECRETS OF THE FLYING SAUCERS – A RETURN TO THE DAYS OF THE EARLY CONTACTEESby Sean Casteel.
After covering UFOs, alien abduction and many other paranormal subjects for over 25 years, I thought I’d seen it all. But once again, publisher, editor, writer and talk show host Timothy Green Beckley has shown me just how wrong that assumption can be. Tim recently sent me a book that contains two full-length tomes by the late contactee Orfeo Angelucci combined in one volume. Though the books were originally published in the 1950s, they contain so much that is relevant and precious about UFO contact and the mortals who come under their purview for reasons they themselves do not comprehend.

PARANORMAL HAWAII - THE GHOST OF MADAME PELEby Paul Dale Roberts.
The cliffs of Makapu’u offer a scenic view of the eastern shores of Oahu. It is there that Madame Pele last stayed before moving on to the Big Island. People sometimes see an old lady in white hitchhiking along the highway there (as well as the Pali highway). That is the human incarnate form of Madame Pele and it is said you need to show her respect and kindness by offering her a ride. She will usually go along for the ride before disappearing into thin air. Failure to offer the ride may have serious implications. Makapu’u is also a place known for the Akua’lele (flying god). These are fireballs said in lore to be powerful conjured up spells from one who practices the ancient ways of Hawaiian sorcery. More...

In last month’s column I examined various clichés, tropes and often-repeated mantras, debunking a few myths and misconceptions, and probably upsetting a few people in the die-hard debunker and true believer camps alike. But the whole purpose of this column is to be provocative and to stimulate lively debate, so with that in mind, this month I intend to put some more claims under the microscope and see if they hold up to scrutiny. With apologies, as with last month’s column, this may make uncomfortable reading for some.
“Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m a skeptic myself.” If you’ve got skeptical credentials, it’s sensible to state them, and if someone like science writer Michael Shermer uses this phrase, and then goes on to tell you about his belief in something anomalous, that’s fair enough. But this statement, or a variation on the theme, is all too often trotted out by the most wide-eyed true believer who’s just about to tell you about their faith in some particularly dubious claim or sighting. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being a believer, so there’s no need to falsely claim skeptical credentials, just to appear a little more discerning.
“I take a scientific approach to ufology”. Unless you routinely (and correctly) use phrases like “testable predictions”, “false-positives”, “confounding factors” and “falsifiable”, you probably don’t. What people who claim to take a scientific approach to ufology seem to be implying (sometimes correctly, sometimes not) is that their research and investigations are thorough. They may well be, but that’s not the same as scientific.
On a related issue, we have people who lie about or exaggerate their credentials when it comes to science. So we get two or three skeptical ufologists who are amateur astronomers, and not only do they misrepresent themselves as scientists, but they seem to expect their ufological peers to afford them the same respect as Galileo. Sorry, but respect has to be earned. One ufologist, who’s a college lecturer, misrepresents himself (or allows himself to be misrepresented) as a professor. Another ufologist, who’s a convicted drug supplier, once tried to bill himself as a “cultural historian”. Yet another ufologist, who runs an anti-Semitic blog and also claims that he once served in the military, would doubtless label himself as a “political analyst” if he thought he could get away with it. On this latter point, when any ufologist (skeptic or believer) claims to be ex-military, I strongly recommend that people verify their military background before even considering their UFO-related pronouncements.
“Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence”. Yes, we know.
“Extraordinary claims require extraordinary investigation”. Yes, we know that too.
“Hello, I have my own radio show”. OK, this is the one that’s really going to upset a few people, but it’s time ufology faced the facts about this, so I’m going to major on this one. The proliferation of (largely internet-only) radio shows in the field is getting out of hand. There are a tiny handful of radio shows such as Coast to Coast AM that are professionally run and genuinely reach a large audience. But there are a myriad of other shows which are essentially just one man bands; vanity projects with a host who wants to be a star, and guests who think they’re already celebrities. That’s not to say that there aren’t plenty of shows out there that are perfectly well-intentioned, where the host and guests simply want “to get the information out to the people”, to quote another cliché. However, “Welcome to the Billy-Bob Bowman Show, with your host, Billy-Bob”, followed by three hours of some guy with a blog waffling on about his theories on the New World Order isn’t going to achieve much, especially when many such shows have poor sound quality, poor production values, and considerably less listeners than they’d have you believe.
The lack of listeners is the real “inconvenient truth” here. Why do people think it is that few of these shows take calls from listeners? Post a UFO-related, internet-only radio show on YouTube, and see how many views and comments it gets. The clues are there. Related to the fact that few people tune into these shows is the fact that virtually nobody outside of the core audience of believers tunes in, and certainly not the sorts of “influencers” that these shows should aim to reach. As a personal example, I get a lot of mainstream media requests, but I’ve never once been contacted by a researcher or a producer who’s said something like “I heard you on the Billy-Bob Bowman Show last night and want to know if you’d be available to come on Good Morning America next week”. The sad truth is that outside of the alternative belief community, nobody’s listening.
Why is any of this a problem? There are two obvious reasons. Firstly, there are a lot of good people out there wasting an awful lot of time that could far more productively be spent elsewhere. Why do I say it’s time wasted? Because not only are very few people listening to most of these shows, but of those that are, most already believe the output. It’s a classic example of preaching to the choir. The second problem is that lone voices can have a disproportionate effect. I was recently asked if I could comment on the “controversy” surrounding my latest book, “Encounter in Rendlesham Forest”, and in particular, the theory that it’s part of a sinister government disinformation campaign. It turned out that the supposed “controversy” was almost entirely generated by a single individual who doesn’t like the book, appearing on a handful of internet radio shows and simultaneously making a lot of posts on Facebook. When there are allegations of systemic CIA torture, that’s a genuine controversy. When somebody doesn’t like a book, that isn’t.
The tragedy here, as I said earlier, is that so much of this is well-intentioned. Be that as it may, the time is long overdue for the UFO, paranormal, conspiracy theory and alternative belief communities to take a long, hard, critical look at the internet radio phenomenon, and ask what real, tangible benefits it brings.
Nick Pope is a former employee of the UK Ministry of Defence. From 1991 to 1994 he ran the British Government's UFO project and has recently been the public face of the ongoing initiative to declassify and release the entire archive of these UFO files. Nick Pope held a number of other fascinating posts in the course of his 21-year government career, which culminated in his serving as an acting Deputy Director in the Directorate of Defence Security. He now works as a broadcaster and journalist, covering subjects including space, fringe science, defence and intelligence. Nick Pope’s latest book, Encounter in Rendlesham Forest, co-written with John Burroughs and Jim Penniston, was published by Thomas Dunne Books on 15th April and is available via Amazon and all good bookstores.

Landde er een ruimteschip in de tuin van de oom van prins Charles?
Landde er een ruimteschip in de tuin van de oom van prins Charles?
Prins Charles (66) en zijn vader prins Philip (93) hebben zich in het geheim geabonneerd op het tijdschrift Flying Saucer Review, nadat Lord Mountbatten in zijn achtertuin een ruimteschip had zien landen. De exemplaren werden in een blanco envelop opgestuurd. Dat heeft de gepensioneerde Amerikaanse arts Steven Greer gezegd.
Dr. Greer (59) zei ook dat hij Charles tijdens de première van de film Star Trek: First Contact in 1996 documenten heeft overhandigd over buitenaardse ontmoetingen. De voormalige arts vertelde aan de Daily Star: “De uitgever van het blad, die voor de Britse inlichtingendienst werkte, Gordon Creighton, heeft me persoonlijk verteld dat de koninklijke familie het regelmatig ontving.”
“Prins Philip en prins Charles waren er erg in geïnteresseerd,” ging hij verder. “Hij vertelde me dat hij er persoonlijk voor zorgde dat ze het kregen. De exemplaren werden opgestuurd in een blanco envelop. Ze wilden niet dat het bekend zou worden.”
Dr. Greer voegde toe: “Dit is terug te leiden tot het object dat in de achtertuin van Lord Mountbatten is geland.” Hij kwam in 1979 om het leven door een Ira-bom toen hij voor de kust van Ierland aan het vissen was.
Greer, die in de buurt van Washington DC woonachtig is, claimt ook dat hij een brief heeft gekregen van de secretaresse van Charles nadat hij hem het dossier had overhandigd. “In de brief bedankte hij me voor het verstrekken van het materiaal en wenste hij me succes bij het naar buiten brengen van deze informatie,” zei hij.
Binnenkort wordt de nieuwe documentaire Sirius van dr. Greer uitgebracht. De film is vanaf 23 februari verkrijgbaar in de iTunes Store en komt op 9 maart uit op DVD. Een woordvoerster van Clarence House, één van de residenties van het Britse Hof, zei ‘geen gegevens te hebben over een abonnement op dit tijdschrift’.
Kijken: Filmploeg legt paars object vast in de lucht boven Lima
Kijken: Filmploeg legt paars object vast in de lucht boven Lima
In het district Miraflores in de Peruaanse provincie Lima is een ongeïdentificeerd vliegend object vastgelegd op video. Een cameraman zag plotseling een paars object in de lucht hangen. Dat meldt de krant El Comercio.
De UFO trok de aandacht van duizenden Peruanen nadat de filmploeg van congreslid Renzo Reggiardo een paars object in de lucht boven Lima had gefilmd. Het filmpje is door Eduardo Chávez Guerra op YouTube geplaatst en is in drie dagen tijd al meer dan 360.000 keer bekeken.
Reggiardo was net begonnen met opnames voor het programma ‘Alto al crimen’, toen zijn cameraman werd afgeleid door een zwevend object in de verte. Ze onderbroken de opnames enige tijd om het object beter te kunnen bekijken.
De beschrijving op YouTube leest als volgt: “Tijdens opnames voor het programma ‘Stop Misdaad’ is om 10.30 uur in het hart van Miraflores een vreemd zwevend object in de lucht gespot.” Enthousiaste toeschouwers speculeren in het filmpje over wat het kan zijn en concluderen dat het geen vliegtuig is.
Stephen Hawking Says Alien Contact Could Lead To Catastrophe
Stephen Hawking Says Alien Contact Could Lead To Catastrophe
Scientists have received a warning from Stephen William Hawking against their attempts to contact aliens and let them know that humans are here on Earth.
Efforts to beam messages from Earth have intensified in recent years in the hope to finally make contact with other intelligent beings from another planet. But renowned physicist Hawking doesn’t in favor on these attempts saying that it could result in a catastrophic event.
Hawking stressed that the alien visitation on Earth would be much like when Columbus came to America, which did more harm than good to Natives.
The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute in California has been using the most advanced telescopes to send data to nearby planets and stars.
Science advisor in the box office hit film Battleship, Seth Shostak of SETI, said that they have plans to pick star systems within 20 light years. However, NASA consultant and American scientist David Brin has issued a caution saying that the contact would inevitably transform human destiny and that the attempts should only be done if the whole world is on the same page.
John Podesta’s top regret on leaving the White House is he didn’t reveal the truth about UFOs
John Podesta’s top regret on leaving the White House is he didn’t reveal the truth about UFOs
John Podesta, former senior advisor to Barack Obama, former Chief of Staff to Bill Clinton, and future chair of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign is offering some reflections on his most recent stint in the White House.
Number one on the list — aliens:
Podesta was out of the big time politics game briefly early in the Bush years, and lent his considerable prestige to a coalition pushing the oddball cause of greater disclosure of federal information about UFOs:
Soon afterwards, he founded the Center for American Progress which quickly emerged as a key pillar of center-left infrastructure in Washington. I worked for a while at CAP, and can testify that while there were a lot of in-house jokes about Podesta and UFOs (including an alien-themed holiday party one December) there was approximately zero institutional effort expended on the cause.
But in a personal capacity, Podesta continued to lend a hand. He participated in a couple of UFO-themed TV shows and wrote the forward to a book about UFOs that was published in 2010.
Then he went back to the White House where, once again, there was no progress on the UFO disclosure front. It’s genuinely too bad. As a former Chief of Staff, Podesta presumably has had access to highly classified information and knows what he’s talking about when he says the public deserves to know what’s in these files. I hope — though I don’t actually expect — that he’ll use his influence in the emerging Clinton campaign to push this in a more serious way.
