MYTHICAL BEASTS – DO THEY REALLY EXIST?

(Before It's News)

Bigfoot

The mysterious and most probably smelly bipedal man-beast that has been purported to roam the North American wilderness has been called many names but “Bigfoot” is the most well-known.

There have been records of it since 1950 but no concrete evidence – teeth, hair, bones or any other parts found.
The most authentic proof is the famous film shot by Patterson and Gimlin in California in 1967 and it appears to show a man dressed in a cheap gorilla costume more than anything else.

Loch Ness Monster

Best known as the Loch Ness Monster, Nessie is the sea monster thought to inhabit the Loch Ness in Scotland. It was first sighted in 1933 and since then numerous locals and tourists have claimed to have seen something in the cold depths.

According to some, Nessie is a Plesiosaur, a gigantic marine reptile from the age of the dinosaurs. Despite the eyewitness testimony, hoax photographs and scientific research, there is still no legitimate proof for the existence of Nessie.

Jersey Devil

This mythical monster was said to have been born in the beginning of the 18th century. According to folklore, a woman in the New Jersey area literally gave birth to the cursed creature, with the head of a horse, wings of a bat and devil’s hooves.

Over the centuries, the legend has been fueled by fictitious tales, hoaxes and on occasion, strange sightings in the woods, but according to Loren Coleman’s book “Monsters of New Jersey” there has not yet been any solid evidence that this is anything more than a myth.

Montauk Monster

A relatively recent addition to the list of monsters, the Montauk Monster was a strange creature that washed up on the beach of Montauk, New York in July 2008.

A photograph of the 4-legged animal showing its claws and almost no fur has been circulating the Internet. Some say it is a hoax, others believe it was once a pig or some kind of unknown, genetically modified animal.

Fiji Mermaid

Even though mermaids in general are not included on any list of monsters, the Fiji mermaid is an exception. The showman P. T. Barnum revealed the infamous Fiji mermaid in 1840 – but this was no beautiful, half naked woman-fish but a creature with a horrifying head, the torso of a small monkey and the tail of a fish.

Of course, it was not real – upon close inspection one could see the hand stitching that connected the 2 animals. This was just one of several fake mermaids created to profit off the public’s curiosity.

Sea Monsters

Tales of sea monsters have existed for thousands of years. The 1752 book “The Natural History of Norway” describes a monster called a Kraken being the size of a small island, flat and with numerous tentacles.

Often it was under the dominance of the sea gods. Nowadays, sightings of sea monsters are very rare and scientists believe that many of the past eyewitness testimonies were actually describing gigantic cephalopods, capable of reaching lengths of over 32 ft (10 m).

Ogopogo

It look as though each country has its own lake monster. Ogopogo or the Canadian Loch Ness Monster is a mythical beast which many believe to be hiding in Okanagan Lake in British Columbia.

Centuries ago, the local population believed that a water sprite inhabited the lake and they carried out human sacrifices to appease the sea demon.

Ogopogo actually bears the name of a popular dance song and even though there is a lack of scientific evidence, people periodically tell of strange things happening in the lake.

Bildenberg Grand Event Attracts Black Alien Disc

(Before It's News)

BILDENBERG GRAND EVENT ATTRACTS BLACK ALIEN DISC 
JUNE 10, 2013   ………    GROVE HOTEL, WATFORD UNITED KINGDOM
 

The reasons I waited two years before coming out with my story is that I thought my sighting was a common one. After searching online and looking at many of the pictures I realized my sighting can be absolutely counted in the top five per cent for clarity and for the fact that certainly what I saw couldn’t be confused with anything I knew.  Let’s start from the beginning: at the time I was living in the North of Watford near a hotel called Grove and where from the sixth to the ninth of June 2013 it was held the Bilderberg group meeting, a closed-door gathering where prime ministers and tycoons meet every year. I had never seen before such a high level of security and hundreds of police men gathered from all around England to patrol the area. I remember an helicopter day and night flying over the area, even weeks before. A metallic fence was built all around the hotel and an entire road was closed, forcing the people living there to go to work with the passport.  When the gathering finished all the security shutdown completely in just few hours. It was one of two days after the end of the Bilderberg that I had my sighting. It was about ten o’clock in the evening, and the bedroom’s window, facing the other way of the hotel, was open. A light brighter than the stars captured my attention and I started looking more closely to try to figure out what it was. Then the light became brighter and brighter, moving toward me, until I clearly recognized a disc shaped object completely black with the light all around. I couldn’t explain how the object could still be so dark, when it was completely sorrounded by a light. It was like if the center of the object was not emitting any lights and that didn’t make any sense to me.  But even before thinking this, my first thought was: then they really exist! And they are really like they have always been described!  I tried to reach out my phone with the eyes fixed on the object. But I didn’t want to loose any seconds of a so important moment, and then when it started moving away on my right I realized it was too late for a shoot.
It drifted away slowly and it took more than 30 seconds to disappear.   When it was closer, I didn’t hear any sounds coming from the object, but the details were so clear that if it had been an airplane I could have clearly seen the windows. However the shape was solid black and I could only recognize it because of the bright light around. It was like a disc with a sort of bump along the lower side and a dome on the top of it.  Afterwards I thought it could have been a drone, considering that the Bilderberg was held the days before. I googled extensively about all the types of drones, but I couldn’t find any that could explain my sighting. I also couldn’t find any reports in the local news. However when I searched in Youtube words like “Bilderberg”, “Watford” and “ufo” I could find a video about drones. So it looked like drones were deployed over the area, but they were so different from what I saw that I simply ignored those videos.  Now I often feel angry for the biggest error in my life: not having been able to take a picture of what I saw that day, and for not being able to talk about it without being considered crazy.  I hope someone can give me some more information about similar sighting. I’m not interested in other types of ufos, lights, strange objects. I wanna only have some more context about that particular kind of disc shaped black objects. – MUFON CMS
 
KENS NOTE:  The Bilderberg Group is an annual private conference of approximately 120–150 political leaders and experts from industry, finance, academia and the media.   About two thirds of the participants come from Europe and the rest from North America; one third from politics and government and the rest from other fields.  In 2001, Denis Healey, a Bilderberg group founder and, for 30 years, a steering committee member, said: “To say we were striving for a one-world government is exaggerated, but not wholly unfair. Those of us in Bilderberg felt we couldn’t go on forever fighting one another for nothing and killing people and rendering millions homeless. So we felt that a single community throughout the world would be a good thing.

Is It Irrational to Believe in Aliens? (Video)

(Before It's News)

Aliens! Could humans really be alone in this expansive universe? And if we’re not, how come we’ve never made contact with other intelligent life?

Everyone’s thought about it; especially members of the scientific community.

Join Gabe as he presents some of the most popular theories that scientists use to rationalize their support or skepticism of the existence of aliens.

We may never know the answer to this age old question, but a little scientific thinking never hurt anybody!

Gabe Perez-Giz is an astrophysicist who studies various aspects of black hole physics. He received his PhD from Columbia University and then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at NYU’s Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics. He also mentors high school students in astronomical research projects at the American Museum of Natural History.

Note: It seems the scientific community finally takes it seriously, if we talking about the exists of intelligent life forms, given the fact that Mr. Gabe Perez-Giz has openend his YouTube account just two weeks ago, on February 9, 2015, posted only two videos resulting in 4140 subscribers and 170,000 views so far.. Not a bad result for someone who uploaded his first video on February 11, 2015.

I could be wrong, but I wonder if there is more behind the opening of this YouTube account than just to spread presentations of some of the most popular theories that scientists use to rationalize their support or skepticism of the existence of aliens.

Folklore, UFOs & The Socorro Incident

Host: George Knapp
Guests: Jacques F. Vallee, Ray Stanford
Date: 22nd February 2015

Over two decades ago, eminent scientist Jacques Vallee wrote a provocative book about UFO cases, folklore, and certain unexplained phenomena. He joined George Knapp in the first half to discuss that original groundbreaking work Passport to Magonia, which changed our understanding of the UFO phenomenon by connecting documents and data from earlier centuries that related to incidents in the modern era. Among the numerous parallels between UFOs, folklore, and religious traditions were tales of fairies, elves, leprechauns, apparitions, and strange creatures.

In Celtic regions, witnesses described seeing fairies who were accompanied by strange oval objects from the sky, and these beings were also known for abducting people– not unlike modern reports of alien abduction, he pointed out. A ninth century account from the Archbishop of Lyon, France dealt with three people who were said to emerge from a flying ship– villagers thought they came from a magical land called Magonia that was beyond the clouds. Vallee spoke of how UFO phenomena seems to straddle different layers of reality, and what witnesses actually observe may be modulated by their individual consciousness. People in Asia view the phenomenon as part of nature, and the alien beings hailing from a different plane, rather than another planet, he added.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the latter half, Ray Stanford, who has been investigating the Socorro UFO landing for over 50 years, shared not only the details he presented in his seminal 1970s book Socorro ‘Saucer’ in a Pentagon Pantry, but further evidence in the case. The incident took place in April 1964, when Lonnie Zamora, a New Mexico policeman, heard a loud roar and saw a descending object in the sky in flames. In his patrol car, he tracked the craft to where it had landed in a ravine on the outskirts of Socorro, and saw two small beings beside it. The beings were the size of children, and dressed in something like white coveralls, Zamora reported. Several other witnesses described seeing an object in the sky, and landing traces and soil were subsequently tested.

Stanford made numerous trips to Socorro, to examine the scene and interview Zamora and other witnesses. He found Zamora to be highly credible in his accounts, and famed ufologist J. Allen Hynek also came to town to investigate. Directly after the incident other patrolmen arrived on the scene, including one who took photos– he was asked to turn over the images to the government, and some of the photos reportedly showed the effects of radiation, Stanford detailed. Zamora made a drawing of the red insignia he saw on the side of the craft, yet the military ended up changing the look of the drawing to deliberately obfuscate the public, in order to determine if future sightings might be copycat hoaxes, Stanford explained. He further revealed that he has acquired an actual photo of the craft, which he’s hoping to use for publication in an updated book on the Socorro incident.

Hubble sees pulverised planet in Beta Pictoris debris disc?

Space Telescope Science Institute Press Release

The bottom image is the most detailed picture to date of a large, edge-on, gas-and-dust disc encircling the 20-million-year-old star Beta Pictoris. The new visible-light Hubble image traces the disc to within about 650 million miles of the star (which is inside the radius of Saturn’s orbit about the Sun). When comparing the latest images to Hubble images taken in 1997 (top), astronomers find that the disc’s dust distribution has barely changed over 15 years despite the fact that the entire structure is orbiting the star like a carousel. Note: he images have been artificially coloured to bring out detail in the disc’s structure and a coronagraph blocks out the glare of the central star so that the disc can be seen. Image credit: NASA, ESA, and D. Apai and G. Schneider (University of Arizona)

Beta Pictoris remains the only directly imaged debris disc that has a giant planet (discovered in 2009). Because the orbital period is comparatively short (estimated to be between 18 and 22 years), astronomers can see large motion in just a few years. This allows scientists to study how the Beta Pictoris disc is distorted by the presence of a massive planet embedded within the disc.

The new visible-light Hubble image traces the disc in closer to the star to within about 650 million miles of the star (which is inside the radius of Saturn’s orbit about the Sun).

“Some computer simulations predicted a complicated structure for the inner disc due to the gravitational pull by the short-period giant planet. The new images reveal the inner disc and confirm the predicted structures. This finding validates models, which will help us to deduce the presence of other exoplanets in other discs,” said Daniel Apai of the University of Arizona. The gas-giant planet in the Beta Pictoris system was directly imaged in infrared light by the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope six years ago.

When comparing the latest Hubble images to Hubble images taken in 1997, astronomers find that the disc’s dust distribution has barely changed over 15 years despite the fact that the entire structure is orbiting the star like a carousel. This means the disc’s structure is smoothly continuous in the direction of its rotation on the timescale, roughly, of the accompanying planet’s orbital period.

In 1984 Beta Pictoris was the very first star discovered to host a bright disc of light-scattering circumstellar dust and debris. Ever since then Beta Pictoris has been an object of intensive scrutiny with Hubble and with ground-based telescopes. Hubble spectroscopic observations in 1991 found evidence for extrasolar comets frequently falling into the star.

The disc is easily seen because it is tilted edge-on and is especially bright due to a very large amount of starlight-scattering dust. What’s more, Beta Pictoris is closer to Earth (63 light-years) than most of the other known disc systems.

Though nearly all of the approximately two-dozen known light-scattering circumstellar discs have been viewed by Hubble to date, Beta Pictoris is the first and best example of what a young planetary system looks like, say researchers.

One thing astronomers have recently learned about circumstellar debris discs is that their structure, and amount of dust, is incredibly diverse and may be related to the locations and masses of planets in those systems. “The Beta Pictoris disc is the prototype for circumstellar debris systems, but it may not be a good archetype,” said co-author Glenn Schneider of the University of Arizona.

For one thing the Beta Pictoris disc is exceptionally dusty. This may be due to recent major collisions among unseen planet-size and asteroid-size bodies embedded within it. In particular, a bright lobe of dust and gas on the southwestern side of the disc may be the result of the pulverisation of a Mars-size body in a giant collision.

This colour composite image shows a curious asymmetry in the disc’s dust and gas distribution. This may be due to a planetary collision within the disc, which may have pulverised the bodies. Radio data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) shows the dust (1.3 millimeter is coloured green) and carbon monoxide gas (coloured red). Image credit: NASA, ESA, D. Apai and G. Schneider (University of Arizona), NRAO and W.R.F. Dent (ALMA, Santiago, Chile)

Both the 1997 and 2012 images were taken in visible light with Hubble’s Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph in its coronagraphic imaging mode. A coronagraph blocks out the glare of the central star so that the disc can be seen.

UFO Over Mercogliano, Italy Proof Of Friendship Case, Feb 23, 2015, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery: February 23, 2015
Location of discovery: Mercogliano, Italy
Italy live cam: http://www.eurowebcamsite.com/en/home/webcam-mercogliano-av.html

As I was looking through live cams I came across this one in Italy. A pillar-like UFO has been hovering there nightly. I like to focus on Italy because of the Friendship Case. I have been watching this UFO for several years and believe it to be parked and cloaked. The cloak is visible due to the infrared lights connected to the live cam. To the human eye, this UFO is invisible. Today its less focused, but I have seen it with a fine metal skin before on this cam.

Skeptics will say its a reflection due to the security lights below. I say its not. If it were, then it would not exist in the early morning when the sun begins to rise, but it is...for a little while and then disappears. If its there when the lights are off, then that is proof the lights are not the cause. 

Clearly a local Italian in the area has parked his cloaked ship above his home assuming no human would be intelligent enough to know its there. They were mistaken. SCW

The Falcon Lake UFO Incident

In light of the recent UFO activity in Manitoba, I thought I'd present the Stephan Michalak encounter at Falcon Lake:

Canada's most noteworthy and dramatic UFO report came out of Falcon Lake, Manitoba, on May 20, 1967. Around noon on that day, an amateur geologist named Stephen Michalak was chipping rock samples when he was startled by the appearance of two red, cigar-shaped craft descending to the earth close to him. While one merely hovered briefly, then shot upward into the cloud cover, the other settled to the ground. It slowed and made a sound what Michalak said sounded like an engine. As it cooled down, its color changed from red to gold. Michalak, who managed quickly to sketch what he was looking at, estimated the UFO to be 12 feet high and about 35 feet across at the base. His sketches included slots surrounding a dome-like projection at the top, and ventilation or exhaust grids along the sides. He also observed purplish light glowing through the side grates and a powerful odour of sulphur coming from the ship.

Suddenly, a hatch opened at the side of the UFO, and Michalak was able to make out voices just inside the hatchway. He tried calling out, in several different languages, to no avail, there was no response. He approached the craft, and the hatch shut abruptly, as though the UFO discouraged any further attempts at communication. The geologist was wearing heavy, protective clothing, including gloves and goggles. Still, he could detect warmth radiating off the structure's surface. When he reached out to touch it, his glove melted. Then, without warning, Michalak was blown off his feet by a blast of incredible heat from one of the UFO's side vents.

As the craft shot upward, Michalak was left lying on his back, stunned, with his clothing on fire. Michalak's fantastic tale might have been dismissed as the product of an overactive imagination had he not been admitted to a hospital with severe radiation burns and many symptoms indicative of radiation poisoning. His stomach even showed a pattern of 30 circular burns exactly matching the grid pattern of the UFO's side vents. Specialists who examined him advised him that any additional exposure to the radioactive source would have proved fatal.

Since the Falcon Lake Incident, UFO activity has continued in the southeastern part of Manitoba.  In fact, there has been a notable increase over the past year.

In the summer of 2008, the average number of reported UFO sightings nearly tripled, according to Chris Rutkowski, research coordinator for Ufology Research of Manitoba, a Winnipeg-based independent centre that investigates and researches Canadian UFO sightings.

"It's significantly above what we normally get," said Rutkowski, adding 11 sightings in Manitoba were submitted in September alone.

The monthly average is about three or four, he said.

Ufology Research is concerned that most of the sightings were not reported to investigators in Manitoba but were instead submitted to websites around the globe.

That makes it difficult for researchers here to speak to witnesses, collect further information and potentially rule out objects as planets or stars instead of UFOs.

"Every year, it's whittled down to about 3% to 5% that don't have an easy explanation," said Rutkowski.

One of the more interesting sightings came from a witness parked near Headingley about 2 a.m. on Sept. 10, 2008.

The man claims he heard a humming sound and then saw a light in the northern sky. He turned and saw a "floating disc" land in a field. Scared, he jumped in his car and drove away. In his rearview mirror, the witness said he saw the object rise from the ground and race across the sky before vanishing.

As for the rise in UFO sightings, Rutkowski said it's possible there's something out there or that "people are paying more attention to their surroundings."


MUFON received a report on an unusual sighting on July 28, 2008 that took place over Lake Winnipeg.

“My father took pictures of a UFO event while at the lake. These pictures were taken over Lake Winnipeg near Gimli, Manitoba - Willow Island. These objects were in the sky hovering for approx. 5 minutes then disappeared. The pictures were taken with an 8 mega pixel camera and have amazing.”


On September 14, 2008, Brian Vike of HBCC UFO Research reported an incident that happened on November 2, 2006 near the community of Steinbach in southeastern Manitoba.

Reported on Winnipeg radio station (s) in the early am, people phoning in with reports from the Steinbach area of flaming objects passing overhead and falling out of the sky. No reports of any kind on Steinbach Radio. Military dispatched to the Steinbach area, jets seen flying low overhead around Steinbach area (reported only on Winnipeg Radio). From Winnipeg 5 or 6 nearly parallel contrails can be seen in the sky, going Northwest to Southeast (toward Steinbach) another contrail in the Southeast in the shape of a spiral going down. The Contrails may or may not be related.

Radio reports in Winnipeg end around 9:00AM, no more said until the afternoon when Steinbach stations begin reporting that rumors of UFO's turns out to be men in white suits performing Avian Flu practice at a farm near Steinbach. Nothing is mentioned about flaming items flying overhead, military investigations or about anything else suspicious currently happening Southwest of Steinbach.

That morning around 10:30am a group of residents, unaware of the reports of flaming debris reported only on Winnipeg radio stations are surprised when 5 Black Suburban's (MIB) and 2 Black, 1 white, 3-ton panel vans with satellite dishes and a hearse in convoy with a police escort show up in a farming area Southwest of Steinbach.

Residents are quarantined to their homes. They are told to stay inside, lock all doors, close curtains and keep dogs and children inside. Residents with children in school are told if the all clear is not given when the children come home from school they are to unlock their doors, one of them is to meet the bus at the road and walk their children directly into the house then relock the doors.

Some Residents are told a search is on for BNE suspects for a local robbery - there had been a BNE a few miles away on the weekend. The guys were already caught when this happened. Some are told there is drug bust in progress - even had one guy tell a friend they were looking for a downed spacecraft - would really like to know why he said that.

Area is somewhat remote - only 5 farmyards in one square mile. That same day around 6:00 PM, residents are given the all clear and again given differing stories, but generally told that the MIB have caught the bad guys. Residents expect to hear more on the news but never hear another word about "the bust". MIB remain in the area until the weekend, when residents observe a fire in the area where the MIB are set up and the MIB leave somewhere around this time.

Original Steinbach radio reports state Avian Flu operators working at a farm 3 miles southwest, (same area Men in Black currently working) then changes to near Landmark Northwest of Steinbach.

Evening TV stations reports avian flu preparedness measures (training) 3 miles S of Landmark - about 20 miles north of morning reports and SUVs' and quarantine.

Reports of flaming debris or military investigations in the Steinbach area never are discussed on the news again. Stories of the MIB performing a drug bust/ arrest, never make it to the news at all.

I was out of town - got back 3rd in evening to catch TV reports of avian flu but didn't think anything of it. I didn't hear the rest of the story till the 8th. One week later a fire is reported in the vicinity. Two weeks later it snows and all trace is gone. Unfortunately it was only at this time that I found the exact location of these events or I would have gone snooping.

Vike speculates that for WPG radio stations to report an event, one of two things had to have happened. Enough people have to call in or they have to have credible witnesses or reporters. If this had happened really early in the am, no one or very few people would have seen anything. If it had happened a little later in the am, way too many people would have seen it and it couldn't have been covered up so easily.


His conclusion was that the US lost a secret aircraft (that probably shouldn't have been in Canadian airspace) and then came up from Grand Forks to investigate and recover.

This theory may be correct because this area is very close to the US / Canada border and since 2005, Grand Fork AFB harbors many new UAV and emerging missions under Homeland Security.  It’s safe to assume that ‘black book’ operations are also conducted at this location.

But military exercises cannot account for all of these sightings in this area.

Utsurobune: The UFO (unidentified floating object) of 19th Century Japan

The image above is one of many illustrations of the Utsurobune no Banjo incident that happened in Japan in the early 19th century. Although there are various accounts of the event, it is believed by many to have been an encounter with extraterrestrials, and not just because the vessel fishermen found in the ocean looks like a flying saucer.

■ The incident
One day late in the winter of 1803, some fishermen located a vessel floating in the Pacific Ocean of the coast of Ibaraki Prefecture. They towed it back to the shore for further investigation.

It’s been described as a round “boat” with some iron plating and glass windows. On the windows were strange geometric shapes that they had never seen before. This craft, which was dubbed an utsurobune or “hollow boat,” measured somewhere between 5 to 10 meters (16.4 to 32.8 feet) across.

Upon opening the craft they found a woman inside. The woman was described as a banjo, a word which meant “barbarian woman” or simply referred to a white woman. Remember, political correctness was still ages away at this point.

However, this woman spoke a language that no one could understand and likewise she couldn’t understand them. She wore clothes like they had never seen and a long white colored hair extension. She also clung to a rather large box that no one was allowed to look inside.

With communication at an impasse the locals all decided the best course of action would be to put her back in the craft and into the ocean where she came from. That’s just what they did and the woman was never heard from again. You have to hand it to old-timey Japanese people. They really knew how to deal with a complex situation efficiently.

■ What was it?
The problem was solved for them at least. For the rest of us it just leaves one big question mark over what exactly happened there. The combination of strange clothes, language, symbols and boat leads many to envision an alien encounter. Added to that, all of the illustrations of the utsurobune certainly seem to resemble a flying saucer (bear in mind they are not drawn to scale).

However, a more likely explanation may have been a hot air balloon’s gondola. Ballooning was just becoming big in Western countries around this time and widely used. This French illustration depicts a hot air balloon from 1808.

Japan, on the other hand, was still a largely closed-off country and not too aware of these developments, especially in small fishing villages. It’s this same closed-off nature that might have made other nations really eager to take a peek inside. So, it might not be far-fetched to assume the utsurobune was just a spy balloon from somewhere like Russia that had crashed into the ocean.

That’s just a theory though, and there are still many mysteries about this incident. For example, stories of similar vessels found in the ocean have been recorded in years before along with other tales of people finding strange women alone in odd places. This year’s Oscar nominee The Tale of The Princess Kaguya is one such fable that was written almost a millennium before.

Unfortunately, with little else to go on, it’s hard to say whether the utsurobune encounter was an international incident, interstellar incident, or just a relatively modern rehashing of an old folktale. Too bad Leonard Nimoy wasn’t alive in 1803. He’s pretty good at figuring this stuff out.

UFOs: Area not immune to sightings

Unidentified objects in the sky have always piqued the interest of mankind, but since the Roswell, New Mexico, incident in 1947, UFO reports have poured in from around the world, including the East Texas area.

In the 1970s and 80s East Texas skies seemed to be abuzz with unknown objects as reports filled the Tyler Morning Telegraph with tales of sightings and even possible abductions during alien encounters.

There were several reported sightings in Tyler during 1973 with a city firefighter and his wife and a former newspaper photographer reporting they had seen strange objects in the sky.

One sighting, reported as happening on Nov. 26, 1976, garnered a lot of attention as hypnotists, physicians and authorities talked to a couple who believed they might have been abducted with several hours unaccounted for by the couple.

David McBurnett and his wife Kathy told the newspaper they were coming back from Dallas when they encountered an object they described as being triangular, grayish in color with bright white light in the center and two red lights on either side.

The McBurnetts could not be located for comment about the story, but could they have actually seen a military jet, such as an F17 stealth fighter?

The F17 was in developmental stages at the time according to government documents, but reportedly took its maiden flight in 1981.

Could the McBurnett sighting and others been spurred by weather balloons in the area?

In 1963 the Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility was moved to Palestine from Boulder, Colorado, and the number of UFO sightings in the area seemed to increase.

Since that time, the facility has launched more than 1,700 balloons for 35 universities, 23 other research agencies and 33 foreign groups.

According to the CSBF website, there has been a dramatic increase in sophistication of experiments and demands for service.

“This can best be shown by comparisons of the growth in payload weight, balloon size and the amount of electronic support provided between 1963 and 1988. The average payload increased from 407 pounds in 1964 to more than 3,000 pounds in 1988,” the website states.

U.S. Air Force Major Jamie Humphries, of North American Aerospace Defense Command, said he does get UFO reports, but many can be explained as low-flying aircraft, weather balloons or some other easily explained object, but some cannot.

“These reports could be from any number of things. Our operations center checks to see if there is any explanation, but sometimes there is just no explanation,” he said.

In July 2004 the Federal Aviation Administration’s phone rang off the wall with reports of an object described as a white, red and green orb streaking across the sky over East Texas.

The newspaper reported the object turned out to be a meteor, but as Tyler police talked about the unidentified object on the radio the evening before, a power outage in Anderson County seemed to be related.

Had a UFO crashed and taken out a power grid?

Anderson County Sheriff Greg Taylor laughed the next day and said the outage turned out to be a snake slithering on top of a major line at substation causing the blackout.

Though reports of UFOs may not always make the news, they are being filed every year around the globe.

Is there life out there and are beings from other galaxies visiting us regularly, or are all of the objects in the sky easily explained?

A UFO story lands in a hall of history

Great Barrington museum accepts family’s 1960s account of aliens

By Billy BakerGlobe Staff  February 23, 2015

SHEFFIELD — This is how the story goes: It’s 1966, and 6-year-old Thomas Reed is in his bedroom on his family’s horse farm in the Berkshires when the encounters begin.

Strange lights. Strange figures in the hallway. Suddenly, he’s in the woods near his home looking at a UFO. Then he and his younger brother, Matthew, are inside the craft. He’s shown a projection of a willow tree.

The following year, there is another incident at their home on Boardman Street in Sheffield. More strange lights. The sound of doors slamming. Then the boys are back inside the vessel. The next thing Thomas knows, he’s in his driveway being scooped up by his mother, who has been searching frantically for the boys on horseback.

Two years later, the family is driving on Route 7 when they see strange lights in the sky. Their car stalls, and then Thomas and his brother and mother and grandmother find themselves in a giant room. He is brought to meet two strange, ant-like figures, then placed in some sort of cage. Next thing, he’s back near the car.

Reed has told these stories many times, and it has not always gone well. But recently, his tale had found recognition in an unlikely place. The Great Barrington Historical Society & Museum has formally inducted the UFO story.

Continue reading it below

What does that mean? “It means that we believe it is true,” said Debbie Oppermann, the director of the society.

“I know we’re going to get a lot of backlash. We’re going to get hammered,” she said. “But we have given it an awful lot of thought, and, based on the evidence we’ve been given, we believe this is a significant and true event.”

The historical society believes it is the first time a “mainstream” historical society or museum in the United States has declared a UFO encounter to be historical fact. But the decision was far from unanimous; of the nine members of the historical society’s board, three were “strongly opposed” to the decision, Oppermann said, but “it passed with consensus.”

The Reed case already has its own display in the International UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell, N.M.; now, it’s about to get one in Great Barrington, about 2 miles from where the alleged encounters took place.

What most interests the historical society is the 1969 encounter, because dozens of people in the area reported seeing an unidentified flying object around that time, typically described as a disk-shaped craft performing acrobatic maneuvers in the sky. Many of those eyewitnesses called the local radio station, WSBS, which covered the sightings. (The radio station has provided documentation to the historical society, which interviewed one of those eyewitnesses. They have also examined a polygraph test taken by Thomas Reed.)

MATTHEW CAVANAUGH FOR THE BOSTON GLOBE

Director Debbie Oppermann says the Great Barrington Historical Society believes the Reed family story of having been abducted by aliens in 1969 is true, in part because dozens of people reported seeing a UFO at that time.

The Reed abductions are well known in the world of UFO enthusiasts. Thomas Reed this month was a featured speaker at the International UFO Congress in Arizona, the world’s largest UFO convention. And the story has been the subject of television shows and radio programs through the years. But Reed, who now lives in Tennessee, said the recognition from the museum is historic.

“They took a stand and have chosen to recognize something that many people in their position would have stepped away from,” said Reed, who is now 55. “We know what we saw, and it was not local. It was definitely off-world. And it affected my whole family, and there has been a lot of post-traumatic stress.”

The subject of UFOs and alien encounters has always occupied a fringe position in American culture, with many believers labeled as tin-hat conspiracy theorists obsessed with government coverups. But polls show that the number of Americans who believe has been growing. A 2012 study by Kelton Research, a market research company, found that 36 percent of Americans believe aliens have visited the earth.

But “proof” remains elusive for many, including Ted Acworth, a scientist with a doctorate from Stanford who was doing postdoctoral work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology when he was tapped to be the “science guy” on the History Channel show “UFO Hunters.”

Acworth looked at some of the more famous cases around the world, and he said he was never able to find what he would consider physical evidence of alien encounters.

“I’m convinced that there are things happening that are unexplainable, but is that proof of a UFO?” said Acworth, who lives in Boston and now works on technology startups. “A lot of highly credible people believe in their bones that they saw something. It’s not just fringe wackos. But the nearest habitable planet is many, many light years away, and I don’t think they’d come here just to scare people and fly home again. They’d make themselves known.”

Handout

Thomas Reed says he was 6 when he was first taken by extraterrestrials.

Reed says he is not trying to convert nonbelievers. Their scorn has been a part of his life.

His mother owned a restaurant in town, and there were those who came in only to make her life miserable. He got beat up a lot by the other kids. His grandmother used to hold a pillow so he could punch it to get his frustration out. After the third encounter, his mother boarded up the boys’ bedroom, quickly sold the house, and they moved a few miles up the road to Great Barrington.

All he can do, he says, is follow what his mother always told him: Speak the truth.

“It hasn’t helped us in any way to talk about,” Reed said. “We’re not making any money. This has tarnished our life. This has smeared our family’s name. It can only hurt you when someone Googles your name.

“But when you have something extraordinary like this happen to you, how do you keep a lid on it?”

Latest UFO Crash Incident In Manitoba: Seen By Many and Reported By Different Individuals

Mysterious lights were seen over Jackhead Reservation in Manitoba, Canada last week. UFOlogists suspect a UFO crash into Lake Winnipeg as military forces allegedly spotted on snowmobiles pulling a massive disc out of the lake. But in response to reports about the UFO crash and recovery, Canadian Forces said it was merely a military training exercise. Seriously?

On Wednesday night, February 18, reports started to make rounds on social media about the lights over Lake Winnipeg. According to the Facebook post by Brent Mancheese, there were reports about the UFO crash on the Jackhead reserve in Manitoba, Canada. Allegedly, vehicles of the Canadian Military were lined up on the north shore. Taking pictures in the scene was strictly prohibited, and the army even issued a threat to anybody who tried to do so. Lots of eyewitnesses were in the area. These witnesses apparently saw a round object being hauled across the lake and pulled out by snowmobiles and bombardier. Eight fishermen reported the incident, but Mancheese wonders why the authorities did not let the media know if it was a plane crash.

In another report, bad thing happened to one witness with a camera. It said that a disc shaped craft was spotted diving into the frozen lake. At least one witness managed to get a photo of the craft. Unfortunately, that person has since been detained by the Canadian military.

According to Lt.-Col. Paul Davies, the Canadian army was taking part in Exercise Arctic Bison 2015, a program that trains military personnel to handle emergencies in harsh environments. Was UFO crash emergency included in the training? Davies said not so.

Government vehicles arriving at site of crash

Davies, the commanding officer of 38 Territorial Battalion Group, explained that there were no aliens or a UFO and just his friends in the Air Force helping them on this exercise.

So, what about those UFO reports? Davies said that it was a craft with quick takeoff capabilities. He explained that it may have appeared like it was going straight up in the air from a distance, but in reality it wasn’t.

Seeing an airplane taking off from a frozen lake is quite unusual. So, what about the crash reports? What about the large disc-shaped object? What about the evidence in the photograph? What about the eyewitnesses?

What actually transpired at Lake Winnipeg last week?

Bob Lazar’s Incredible UFO Story Is True (Video)

(Before It's News)

We, Team Tumbleweed, have waited with the presentation of this video to be released after the UFO conference where George Knapp and Bob Lazar told about the mysteries of Area 51.
 

In this video we will show you the UFO Bob Lazar filmed in full detail.

Latest image enhancement techniques have been used to make the UFO completely visible.

Team Tumbleweed: “For those who have criticized Bob Lazar, Gene Huff, John Lear and George Knapp, we can only say this to you: Wake up.”

 ”You have been wrong with your criticism and discrediting these 4 people. It is time to admit it.”

Team Tumbleweed: “We are supported by Robert “Bob” Lazar and journalist George Knapp. John Lear also is aware of our plans. See the article: UFOs exist and are as real as Area 51.

Dinosaurus gevonden op Mars?

Onvermoeibaar bestudeert ufoloog Scott C. Waring NASA foto’s van Mars.

Met de regelmaat van de klok komt hij dan ook met spectaculaire ontdekkingen.

Waring zegt over zichzelf dat hij iemand is die doorgaat daar waar anderen ophouden.

Als voorbeeld geeft hij de hobby die hij had toen hij studeerde in de Amerikaanse staat Idaho: zoeken naar pijlpunten van indianen van 700 jaar oud.

Zijn vrienden op de universiteit verklaarden hem voor gek en zeiden dat hij zijn tijd verspilde.  Door logisch denken echter en het verbinden van een aantal schakels slaagde hij er toch in om een vijftal van deze pijlpunten op te sporen, die nu in een museum liggen.

Dezelfde volhardendheid gebruikt hij nu bij het bestuderen van NASA foto’s en het vinden van sporen.

Dat levert nogal eens interessante resultaten op, zoals de volgende.

Op één van de NASA foto’s zie je iets wat je niet anders kunt omschrijven dan als de kop van een soort dinosaurus. 

Je ziet duidelijk op de foto’s de kaken en daartussen wat sterk lijkt op de tanden van het dier.

Na nog wat meer speurwerk vond hij op een andere opname iets wat lijkt op een paardenkop. 

Hebben we hier te maken met een paard dat ooit op Mars heeft geleefd, of misschien een soort draak?

Duidelijk is dat er op de NASA foto’s van Mars veel voorwerpen voorkomen die niet door de natuur zijn gevormd en aantonen dat er leven was en mogelijk nog steeds is.

Scott zegt: Wat niet veel mensen weten is dat NASA 50 jaar geleden is opgericht met als doel de waarheid voor de mensen verborgen te houden. Een werkelijkheid echter, die in stukjes en beetjes steeds verder boven water komt.

Hoelang tot de killshot werkelijk wordt? ( Video )

Wij aardbewoners zijn de afgelopen dagen wederom aan een enorme ramp ontsnapt.

Wanneer de laatste zonneuitbarsting een iets andere richting had gehad dan was er nu in ieder geval geen internet meer. Waarbij dat misschien dan wel ons minste probleem zou zijn.


Het is een vreemde zaak met de zon. De zonnevlekactiviteit is relatief laag en toch hebben we een zonnevlamuitbarsting achter de rug die je niet graag dagelijks wilt meemaken.

Op zaterdag 21 februari 2015 zagen we zo'n uitbarsting. 

Gelukkig vond deze uitbarsting plaats aan de achterkant van de zon, waardoor de aarde de resultaten van deze Killshot bespaard bleef.

Hij was zo krachtig dat wanneer de richting iets anders was geweest en onze kant was uitgegaan, wij nu waarschijnlijk bijvoorbeeld geen internet meer zouden hebben.

De naam Killshot is afkomstig van de remote vieuwer Ed Dames en betekent het volgende: Met de Killshot wordt bedoeld een zodanig krachtige zonnevlam, gericht naar de aarde, dat hierdoor grote delen of het gehele elektriciteitsnet zal uitvallen. 

We hebben de laatste jaren enkele keren geluk gehad dat zeer krachtige zonneuitbarstingen niet rechtstreeks gericht waren naar de aarde.

Die is natuurlijk al een keer eerder geraakt, zoals wij vorig jaar schreven:

De meest bekende gebeurtenis in deze categorie is het zogenaamde Carrington Event in 1859. Afgezien van de telegraaf waren er in die tijd weinig elektrische componenten om echt problemen te kunnen veroorzaken.

Als we vandaag de dag echter een dergelijk Carrington Event zouden meemaken dan zou dit een complete en totale nachtmerrie zijn. Een onderzoek door Lloyd’s of London heeft uitgewezen dat schade van 2.600.000.000.000 Dollar zou ontstaan aan de economie en dat er minsten tien jaar voor nodig zou zijn om van de gevolgen te herstellen.

Wetenschappers houden vol dat er weer een moment zal komen waarop we geraakt zullen worden door een dergelijke vlam van de zon. De enige vraag is wanneer.

Gisteren schreef iemand op een forum: Ga naar buiten, zet een glimlach op je gezicht en dank God op je blote knieën dat we niet terug geworpen zijn naar het stenen tijdperk.

The Isla De Lobos Case in Uruguay

Date: October 28, 1972
Location: Isla de Lobos, Uruguay

This is a single witness sighting, and yet it has become the best case coming from Uruguay due to the in-depth investigation done by the members of C.I.O.V.I. research group.  The witness, Corporal Juan Fuentes saw a landed craft with three occupants at close range for time of about one minute.  He attempted to shoot at the occupants but was stopped from doing so.  The occupants entered the craft, and the craft rose up and flew away at high speed.

                                

Illustration of the the craft and occupants as seen by the witness, Corporal Fuentes.

        UFO TYPE: CE 3
DATE: October 28, 1972
TIME: 10:15 P.M.
DURATION: 1 minute
WITNESSES: 1
PLACE: Isla de Lobos, Uruguay
35 deg. 1’ S.; 54 deg. 53’ W. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(a) The place.

Isla de Lobos is a small island a few miles off the Uruguayan coast, just where the River Plate meets the Atlantic Ocean. Its name means literally “island of the fur seals”, as these animals roam freely, and it is a lonely place where the only outstanding feature is the lighthouse.

The maintenance of this lighthouse is the responsibility of the Navy, and for that purpose a small garrison of 4 or 5 men is kept on the island. Their main task is to attend to the electric generators, as the actual operation of the beam is automatic. It is a routine and non-stressing job, and the tours of duty are 15 days in and 15 days out.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) The incident.

On the night of October 28, 1972, there were five men at the house which serves as headquarters for the Navy personnel: the witness, Corporal Juan Fuentes Figueroa; two enlisted men, Jose Gomez and Hector Gimenez; a telegraph operator, Jose Lima; and the sub-officer in charge, Francisco Cascudo. After dinner, the men sat around the table for a while, talking and playing cards, until at 10:10 PM it was time for Corporal Fuentes to inspect the generators, which are located at the base of the lighthouse proper.

The lighthouse is a 66-meter-high tower sitting at the center of a large building which contains the electric generators, the telegraph office and other dependencies. The top of this building is a flat terrace, which is about 6 meters above the adjacent terrain (Fig.1). The house where the garrison lives is at a distance of 45 meters from the lighthouse.

As soon as Cpt. Fuentes started to walk toward the lighthouse, he noticed on top of the terrace some lights that shouldn’t be there. In fact, he thought first of a car, a complete impossibility, and his reaction was to return to the house and procure a pistol that he had in his room. To do this, he didn’t have to pass through the kitchen where the other men were, so he didn’t speak to them. As will be discussed later, this behavior is typical of the personality of the witness.

Carrying the pistol, he went outside again and started walking decisively but not fast toward the lighthouse, meanwhile removing the safety from the gun and cocking it. As he advanced, he noted that the object had several lights: some white, some yellowish, and a third color that he describes as violet, as in the “rainbow”. Those lights were sufficient to allow him a good view, and he saw that a figure was next to the object and that a second was in the process of descending. A third and taller figure started to descend almost at once, but at the same moment, the initial two figures noticed Fuentes progressing toward them. They had what appeared to Fuentes as a moment of communication, and all three of them faced him.

By that time, Fuentes was at about 27 meters from the object, which, we will recall, was on the top of a 6-meter terrace. Hence, the object was above him, and he started to raise his extended arm to shoot. He was never to complete his motion, as the entities prevented him, from doing so. Fuente, a man of limited education, tried in vain to explain to the investigators how this was accomplished. It was not telepathy, and he felt some physical effects, like a “vibration” and his hair standing on end; but more than anything else it was like a premonition, in his words like: “Don’t shoot because it is useless”. At any rate, he felt paralyzed and confused, and was unable to shoot.

The action continued rather fast: the entities reentered their craft, the tallest one first. Although Fuentes did not see steps or a handrail, he could see quite well the motion of the figures against the lights of the object, outlined by the light coming out through the open door. He is certain that there were steps, as while the entities were climbing up with their backs toward the witness, their motions were like those of a person pulling himself up with handrails.

The door closed sideways, and the craft started to move straight up, emitting a humming sound until it reached about 45 meters, as judged by the adjacent lighthouse tower. It then tilted, belched a blinding fireball from the bottom, and disappeared in silence at a tremendous speed toward the southeast.

The witness returned to the house, where the other men noticed him white as a paper and still with a gun in hand. When he said that he had seen a flying saucer, he was not believed, except perhaps by Sub-Officer Cascudo.

Corporal Fuentes was rather upset that his equals and his immediate superiors were dubious of his story, and was planning when he returned to Montevideo to go to one of the leading newspapers and make his experience public. However, before this was accomplished, he was ordered to report to a higher ranking officer, who carefully listened to what Fuentes had to say. He then disappeared into an office in which two members of the personnel of the American Embassy had been waiting.

According to Fuentes, they were officers of the “Spatial Affair Service”, (sic) and their presence in the Command Offices was not unusual. Fuentes was left waiting in the corridor, and after a while someone came out and offered him some drawings for inspection and asked him to select the one closest to what hi has seen. He did so and was dismissed. He never talked directly to the Americans, but from the conversation overheard through the door, he concluded that they were surprised at the short distance of Fuente’s observation. And I am amazed at the continuous interest shown by American Embassies in collecting information about a phenomenon that we have been told many times does not exist...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c) Craft and entities.

While the whole incident lasted about one minute, Corporal Fuentes had the object in direct view for more than about 15 seconds. It was well illuminated by its own lights, and it was fortuitous that the external lights usually illuminating the exterior of the installations were not in operation that night. If the floodlights had been on, they would have prevented a clear view by the witness, even blinding him at the location of the observation. As things turned out, he observed the entities in the background light of their own craft, and even if this prevented him from seeing facial details, for example, their outline and motions were quite evident.

When Corporal Fuentes started to walk toward the lighthouse, the first entity was already on the terrace, while the second was alighting from the craft. These two entities were about 1.50 m. (5 ft), while the third one, the last to descend, was 1.75-1.80 m. (6 ft). Thus, their heights were within the normal human limits (Fig. 2). Their silhouettes were dark, as if they were wearing heavy black rubber suits. The witness attributed their slow and deliberate motions to the weight of their suits, and thinks that his presence surprised the strangers at the beginning of an operation never to be completed. Their descent from the craft was done backwards, as if using a ladder not seen by the witness. Likewise, when they climbed back into the object, their motions were those of a person pulling himself up using handrails.

The most distinctive feature of the entities, clearly noticeable in the profile view that they offered to the witness, was the elongated shape of the back o their heads. It is not clear if this corresponds to the heads themselves, or it is was the result of some type of hood or garment.

The craft itself had the shape of an inverted bowl, with a diameter of between 4 and 5 meters. It had a dome on top and a rectangular aperture or door, used by the entities to descend (Fig. 3). It also had legs, which the witness saw clearly during the first stage of the departure. as the craft was slowly gaining altitude. Those legs did not fold like the landing gear of a plane, but retracted telescopically.

The surface of the craft was undoubtedly metallic, with a somewhat reddish color that Fuentes compared to mahogany. The most distinctive feature of the object was the antenna that topped it, shaped like a corkscrew and rotating.

The lights have already been described, and it only is necessary to add that they seemed to Fuentes like “little squares”, moving and flashing like “an advertising sign”.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d) The witness.

This is a single witness sighting, and yet it has become the best case coming from Uruguay due to the in-depth investigation done by the members of C.I.O.V.I.. This paper is based on the information contained in their report on this case. (Ref.1).

The first stage of the investigation consisted of two lengthy interviews with the witness in his own home. The two interviews were recorded, and the transcripts do not reveal any discrepancies in the narrative.

This was followed by an “in situ” reconstruction of the events. with the participation of the witness. Sub-officer Cascudo, present on the island that night, verified that the initial version by Corporal Fuentes was similar to the subsequent descriptions relayed later to the investigating team. Sub-officer Cascudo, as well as other superiors of Corporal Fuentes, described him as a “simple and honest man, incapable of inventing a story of this nature”.

But indeed the most fascinating part of the CIOVI investigation was to request the assistance of a professional and to submit the witness to a battery of psychological tests that extended over a total of 9 hours, and that included, among others, Raven, Bender, Rorschach and PMK.

The result of those various tests dwell on positive and negative aspects of the personality of the witness, but when analyzed in the light of the narrative presented by Corporal Fuentes, they complement each other and tend to lend credibility to the story.

In what follows, the key elements of the psychological evaluation will be indicated with quotation marks, interspace with comments on how they relate to the particular facets of the case.

First of all, the witness is described as “sincere, uncomplicated and simple”. He expresses what for him is the truth, and he does that in a straighrforward manner, with no cultural burden distiring what he has to say.

The witness “has no tendency to fabrication or fantasy”, which if existing would damage his credibility. Moreover, he has “less that average intellectual capacity”, to which the psychologist adds that he “lacks an average imagination” and “has a remarkably poor knowledge of what is going on in the social environment”. All of these are pluses from the viewpoint of the credibility of the witness, and negate the possibility of him having created the whole story. And in fact, the investigators were able to determine that the ufological knowledge of the witness was practically non-existent.

From the emotional viewpoint, the witness is typified as “insecure, prompt to react anxiously and even aggressively” to an unexpected situation. That is exactly what the witness did when confronted with the impossible presence of a car on the terrace: his first reaction was to arm himself, although he could not explain later to the investigators what he intended to do with the gun. But he was following his training, and thus bolstered his confidence.

Another result of the psychological tests is that the witness has “a balanced psychic personality”, and it is “unlikely that he would confabulate by himself, unless an external event would upset him”. To summarize, his poor intellectual capacity and lack of imagination did not allow him to reason what was best to do when confronted with the unexpected, and instead of firing his gun or alerting his companions, he failed to do either, remaining paralyzed and confused. When he returned to the house, the other men noticed his trembling voice and his pale color, so there is no question that an external stimulus affected him deeply.

The conclusion, then, is that the psychology and personality of the witness are such that his reactions and behavior under the circumstances are totally compatible. Therefore, the probability that the witness is telling the truth is very great.

Of course, there is always an uncertainty about what percentage of the description of the witness corresponds to the physical reality of the object and the entities, but we can assert that in fact that Isla de Lobos is a remote place, moreover, a restricted area with difficult access, controlled by the Uruguayan Navy, and where no conventional explanations are viable, the inescapable conclusion is that this case is, using Dr. Maccabee’s coined word, a TRUFO.
