Over and over again, trustworthy commercial and military pilots risk their reputation and come forth with descriptions of UFO encounters.Why? Do they seek notoriety and present these stories in exchange for a bit of fame or is there any substance behind their encounters with flying saucers?
Naturally, we can’t answer this question in a way that would satisfy all of our readers so we’ll just portray one pilot’s testimony and let you decide.
Former U.S. Air Force Major George Filer III has amassed over 5,000 flying hours during his career so he’s not a rookie. In 2013, he told his story to former congressmen at a hearing on UFO sightings at the National Press Club.
Filer is a stern believer in the alien presence on Earth and he thinks aliens have been visiting our planet for thousands of years. According to him, UFOs are encountered more often than we’ve been led to think and there is an ongoing effort to conceal their presence.
In January 1962, he was stationed as a pilot at the U.S. Air Force Base at Sculthorpe RAF Base in the U.K. During an aerial refueling mission taking place over the North Sea at an altitude of 30,000 feet, Filer was notified by London Control that their radar had picked up something anomalous.
He had just finished transferring fuel from his tanker aircraft and started heading toward the object. According to London Control, the unknown object was hovering over an area near Stonehenge, at an altitude of around 1,000 feet. The sun had just set and the skies were clear.
When Filer got within 30 miles of the UFO, his APS-23 Radar detected it.
It was an exceptionally large radar return reminding me of a large bridge or ship. This craft was bigger than anything I had seen in the air before. It reminded me of the radar return from the Brooklyn Bridge (6,000 feet) or the Firth of Forth Bridge in Scotland (8,300 feet), over a mile long.
The Return was sharp and solid as compared to the fuzziness of a rain cloud. I felt this craft must be made of steel or strong metal. We were doing around 425 mph as we approached to about 10 miles, when the UFO apparently realized we were intercepting,” Filer said.
Darkness had set so Filer and his copilot could see the spacecraft’s lights ahead of them. As they got closer, the lights turned from dim to bright while the UFO suddenly accelerated. It climbed with an unbelievable speed and was soon gone. Filer asked London Control if any rocket launches had taken place in the area and received a negative response. Since there was nothing more he could do, Filer returned to base, recording the incident in his log.
It seemed Filer was the only one giving importance to the strange encounter but, several weeks later, he and his crew received an invitation to dinner from Prince Phillip, the Duke of Edinburgh. As it turns out, Prince Phillip was very interested in hearing Filer’s account. The Duke had been intrigued by UFOs since his uncle, Earl Mountbatten had witnessed flying saucers from up close while in the Navy.
Prince Phillip told Flier he had debriefed aircrews who had encountered UFOs before and revealed that the phenomenon was of greater magnitude than most believe.
The incident turned Filer into a believer. He was especially intrigued by the fact that the large spaceship was hovering above Stonehenge and thinks there might be a connection between ancient megalithic monuments and the unidentified flying objects.
Now a regional director for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), Filer continues to study and disclose his findings about the UFO phenomenon.
What do you think about his encounter?
Even better, if you’d like to share your own experience with UFOs or the unexplained you can submit your story here.

Internet stumped by ‘UFO’ footage
Internet stumped by ‘UFO’ footage
Internet user Darmino posted this strange video on Saturday.Source: YouTube
CAN you identify this ‘UFO’? A curious video captured by a drone enthusiast and uploaded to YouTube has set the internet abuzz.
The four-second clip, filmed from 80 metres above California’s Silicon Valley, appears to show a small white object streaking across the screen at an impossibly fast speed.
The video, ‘UFO caught in 4K with drone’, uploaded by a user going by the handle ‘Darmino’, has sparked furious discussion on internet forums.
“I have no idea what this is, maybe a bug, hummingbird, reflection or alien space craft! The only thing I know for sure is that I did nothing that would cause this,” Darmino wrote on the forum for the drone’s manufacturer, DJI.
“You can analyse it better if you download the video in 4K and go frame by frame. Any other ideas of what it might be?”
Theories range from an insect or bird, to a stray bullet (“Somebody shot at your drone and missed,” wrote one user), to a secret military plane. Of course, it could just be a hoax. Or a marketing stunt.
As one user on Reddit commented: “I am reminded of what someone said once about the two types of sasquatch videos that exist. Up close and blurry or far away and HD. When I saw 4K in the title I knew before I clicked that it would be far away. In this case very far away and extremely fast.”
Assuming the object isn’t purely CGI, it definitely appears to be going at a fair speed. One YouTube user estimated the distance travelled as around one mile every one to two seconds.
The footage was captured from the DJI Inspire 1 drone.Source: Supplied
That would give it a speed of around 2890 km/h, roughly 2.4 times the speed of sound. The airspeed record is still held by the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird spy plane with 3,529.6 km/h.
Earlier this year, UFO enthusiast John Greenewald, who spent nearly two decades filing Freedom of Information requests to compile an extensive online archive of UFO case files, made the fabled Project Blue Book available on his website The Black Vault.

An Australian Abduction
An Australian Abduction
Alien Abduction Story Australian Family 1958 - September 2011
Alien abduction marks. copyright holder name withheld
This is now the (7th) seventh chapter in a continuing and menacingly alarming story of abductions of a family from Australia that commenced as early as 1958, and continued into the 1990s to include two of my sons, then again in late 2010 with a third son only to further continue in most recent times (late September 2011) with a fourth son.
This abduction case was investigated in the 90s by a respected researcher in this field as many factors of interest had shown themselves to be only too familiar.
My family's ordeal can be found through www.niternat.com, and in a breaking news announcement this very latest abduction of my 10-year-old son has left us with further evidence of his ordeal.
I had indicated only weeks ago how my youngest son would tell his mother and myself of bright lights that appeared to be as he explained "spiky balls of electricity."
First outside his bedroom window late at night and early hours in the morning. Both his mother and I did not really take him seriously until one morning.
The Intense Light
I had awoke around 2:00 AM, and as I ventured outside my bedroom door and went to walk down a passage way, I caught what seemed to be a glimpse of very intense light that could be seen from my youngest son's room.
This lasted only for a second or two, my thoughts were to investigate this because my son's bedroom light was only that of a 60 watt globe and could not produce such an intense glare.
So I gently pushed open his bedroom door only to find him sound asleep, so I turned around and thought there must be some truth to what he had been informing his mother and I about these bright lights, only this time it or they seemed to be in his room.
I could not return to sleep that morning as the thought of that bright light kept coming back to me as I had seen such brightness before during one of my own alien encounters.
As I lay waiting for the time to pass I was thinking how I would approach my son when he joined his mother and I for breakfast that morning.
Confronting His Son
Finally at breakfast I felt compelled to ask if he had a good night's rest last night, and if he perhaps had any bad dreams.
He just looked directly at me and said, "Dad, you know what happened, you were there."
I went on to ask, "How do you mean I was there?"
He replied, "Dad, they visited me again last night and they asked me to go with them"
I replied, "What did you say to them?"
He said, "I did not want to go with them," I said I wanted to stay with my family.
We left our conversation regarding this matter at that point, and it was from then on that both my wife and I had come to believe that what he had been telling us was in fact very true.
They Come Again
Since that time about 3 weeks had passed with no issues until another visitation by these unwelcomed visitors had taken place. My son came to me around 6.30 AM, and explained they had been there again.
His memory was somewhat distorted and he appeared to be very pale and tired as if he had been working all night. It was when he was talking to me I noticed markings upon his left temple; triangular in shape. (see photograph)
By this time one of my older sons who had been getting ready for work that morning had noticed this also, and took a series of photographs with his mobile phone. One of those photos I have now included in this post.
I would strongly suggest to anyone who is interested in this phenomenon to join Wikileaks community www.niternat.com, and then join the group known as "Alien Abductions."
Needless to say, these continued abductions have had a completely devastating effect upon our immediate family and every one of us that have been abducted and subjected to this experience.
Searching for Answers
This is a case that has many twists and turns with the events as they have unfolded and that included 1 of my sons having an implant in the early 1990s. This can be noted in one of the short videos relating to this story in the group known as "Alien Abductions."
Our family has been subjected to the normal ridicule from others (outsiders) who really don't understand that this is really happening and science can't give any answers as to why, only that this story continues and does so only through the males of this family for reasons which remain unknown.
There is no hidden agenda with our story as I have not accepted massive payment nor do I seek fame through media attention, and the reasoning behind going public remains the same, to offer some comfort to others who may well be going through the same experiences and having nowhere to turn.
This is a life changing situation when it happens to you and/or your family and understanding must be given to those who are subjected to this torment.
When asked the next morning what had happened to him, my son said it was "The Emperor," a leader of the alien species that ordered a procedure to be carried out upon him.
My son went on to explain that a special alien he referred to as a doctor had to be brought in from another flying craft to conduct the procedure itself. He can't remember what happened from that point on, only that gold-like spheres of light surrounded the grey-colored leader.
My son referred to them as being protectors of "The Emperor." These alien abductions continue to the males in our family. WHY?

Daily 2 Cents: Abducted by Ant People -- Former GI Witnessed UFO Landing -- Buddy Holly Plane Crash Investigation May Reopen
Daily 2 Cents: Abducted by Ant People -- Former GI Witnessed UFO Landing -- Buddy Holly Plane Crash Investigation May Reopen
Abducted by Ant People
Staten Island, NY - 10/31/1975 - (reported 6/2008): I was a little kid, only about 6 years old.
I was abducted in the middle of the night. The thing about it was I was not really scared by the incident. I had never heard of UFOs or aliens, as described in today's pop culture. I was a very curious kid and willing cooperated with my abductors.
I referred to my abductors as "ant people." Because the beings looked like "big ants" to me. I told my parents and they just laughed. I never felt that I was harmed in any way and grew up, as a very happy normal guy.
The ant people did what can best be explained as a medical examination on me. They did not talk to me but, they did smile. I was not a bit scare. The only uncomfortable thing about the experience was I made to sit in a fetal position, at one point, without moving, it was very uncomfortable to me. The beings were as tall as I was (as a kid).
I was never into the UFO thing but, one day when I was around 18 years old - I was hanging out at my friends house and he had a paperback about UFOs and in the book there was a drawings of aliens - AND I SAW THE ANT PEOPLE. The drawings looked exactly as I remembered. I was pretty freaky.
I never told anyone about this before. Other than my parents when I was kid. It really happened!
Today, I am 39 years old, an Ivy League educated lawyer. I am a pretty serious guy but, I believe! I believe in aliens!
Former GI recalls West German UFO landing incident
A witness who served with in a West German weapons platoon for the U.S. Army recalls events from 1966 when a UFO landed near their training mission camp and entities were seen on the ground, according to testimony in Case 63699 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The events played out in Grafenwöhr (Grafenwoehr) West Germany during the summer of 1966. Grafenwöhr was a major training area for N.A.T.O. forces and located close to the Czechoslovakian border.
The story is told here in the witnesses’ own words:
“I was in the weapons platoon of a rifle company in the (U.S.) Army. The weapons platoon was made up of four armored personnel carriers, which were 13-ton, lightly armored, tracked vehicles [M113]. Three of the APC’s were 81mm mortar gun crews, and the one I was in was the fire directions center. I was a driver at the time. Read more at Former GI recalls West German UFO landing incident
A deer camera in New Market photographed what looks like a mountain lion. Now that photo is making the rounds on social media.
Brieana Fanning posted the photo to her Facebook account on Sunday. Her father Shane Fanning said it was taken near a friend's house where they used to hunt. They said it was taken between Baltimore Hill Road and Meridianville Bottom Road.
As of Wednesday night, the photo has been shared more than 1,500 times.
What the animal is exactly has not been confirmed, although the Fannings are sure it's a mountain lion.
Officials say the last confirmed mountain lion in Alabama was killed in the 1940s. Still, sightings have been reported in the years since, although none of these cases were confirmed. One of the more recent ones was also in the Huntsville area. A woman wrote a letter to AL.com in Dec. 2014 saying she saw a mountain lion near Martin Luther King Jr. Lane. Like the other cases, this was never confirmed.
Could these animals still be around? It will be up wildlife officials to decide. After seeing this photo, some are saying definitely yes. One commenter said he saw the animal on Buddy Williamson Road this week.
Others aren't so sure, such as David Steen, a wildlife ecologist at Auburn University. Steen said it's too soon to consider that mountain lions may return to the region after being hunted to extinction so many years ago. He said some such animals may slowly disperse back to areas they have been absent from but not yet.
"That's why I would not be surprised if a mountain lion observation was eventually confirmed in Alabama. That hasn't happened yet though, and there is nothing about this photo that would suggest it is anything other than a house cat," Steen said.
The house cat allegations stem from the dimensions of the animal in the photo, according to Steen along with some online commenters. He said the animal may appear larger but that is only because of forced perspective.
Officials may reopen Buddy Holly plane crash investigation
US transportation safety board reviewing a request to reopen the inquiry into 1959 crash that killed Ritchie Valens, the Big Bopper, Buddy Holly and pilot Roger Peterson
A flight expert is appealing to the Federal Aviation Administration for a new investigation into the Iowa crash that killed rock and roll pioneer Buddy Holly - an investigation that could clear the name of the 21-year-old pilot from Alta who flew the Beechcraft Bonanza on February 3, 1959, dubbed "The Day the Music Died."
New England resident L.J. Coon says he is a pilot, aircraft dispatcher, and has worked with the Transportation Safety Administration and as a test proctor with the FAA.
After finding online stories the Pilot-Tribune had done on the pilot and the case, Coon contacted the newspaper and said he sees key information missing in the original investigation.
(Photo) Coon said he has been in contact with the National Transportation Safety Board's cold case unit about the possibility of a new investigation into the crash, and has been encouraged to file a petition for reconsideration/modification of the 1959 findings. Coon's research implies a couple of possible explanations for the crash that were not considered at the time.
One is that the Peterson's plane hadn't been fueled.
There was no fire at the crash site, and no mention of fuel on the ground, he says, although the plane should have carried 250 pounds of fuel, enough for at least 90 minutes in the air. While other gauges were mentioned in the report, information on the fuel gauges was conspicuously missing, along with any mention of whether there was fuel in the wing tanks, in the engine, or whether fuel caps were secure. None of the stories from the time mention any smell of fuel at the scene. Read more at Could new investigation clear Buddy Holly pilot?

UFOs and Nuclear Disasters
UFOs and Nuclear Disasters
Are extraterrestrials...specifically, those supposed beings aboard UFOs, intervening during nuclear power plant disasters? There are reports of UFO sightings over the Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear power plants prior (and after) to those respective calamities.
Those who believe in 'harbingers of disaster' may recall reports of large winged humanoids flying in the vicinity of these plants before the accidents. Some have suggested that Mothman was the portent, as the story goes in relation to the Silver Bride collapse of December 1967 in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. The Mothman has been reported to manifest prior to other mishaps as well.
Is it realistic to state that we are monitored by unknown beings...just in case we screw up?
One may ask, are these unknown entities transporting back from the future to correct the mistakes we made? Is it also possible that these time travelers are actually evolved humans...our decedents attempting to change a foreboding history?
When troublesome events started to occur, some people saw a spaceship hovering above the fourth generating unit of the Chernobyl plant. Eyewitnesses say that an UFO was there for six hours and that hundreds of people saw it. People started writing about it only two years after the catastrophe. Of course, such information appeared in magazines on ufology. As it is generally believed, serious people don’t read such magazines and journals.
Here is what Mikhail Varitsky had to say: “I and other people from my team went to the site of the blast at night. We saw a ball of fire, and it was slowly flying in the sky. I think the ball was six or eight meters in diameter. Then, we saw two rays of crimson light stretching towards the fourth unit. The object was some 300 meters from the reactor. The event lasted for about three minutes. The lights of the object went out and it flew away in the northwestern direction.”
The UFO brought the radiation level down. The level was decreased almost four times. This probably prevented a nuclear blast.
Three years later (on September 16, 1989), the fourth power-generating unit emitted radiation into the atmosphere. Several hours later, a doctor saw an object in the sky above the Chernobyl plant. Doctor Gospina described it as “amber-like.” She said she could see the top and the bottom of it as well.
In October of 1990, a reporter from the newspaper the Echo of Chernobyl , V. Navran, was photographing the machine shop of the Chernobyl plant. “I photographed the top of it, including a part of the hole above. I remember everything very well; I did not see any UFO. However, when I developed the film, I clearly saw an object that was hovering above the hole in the roof.” The object looked like the one doctor Gospina saw.
In reference to the possible UFO cause & effect relationship, in particular, Chernobyl:
On May 1, 1997, Jerry Washington wrote:
In response to Anders Liljegren assertion that "'the UFO phenomenon' was NOT out to check on that...No sightings in the affected area until more than a week after the nuclear crash," referring to the Chernobyl disaster, I offer this excerpt from Dr. Vladimir V. Rubtsov's lectures as published in MUFON's 1994 Symposium Proceedings:
"...about one month before the Chernobyl disaster I had a talk with an air traffic controller of the Kharkov airport. He told me that, according to pilots' reports, there was a rising number of UFO observations in the area of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station (ChNPS). Later it became known that on the night of the fire in the ChNPS, some 3 hours after the explosion, a team of nuclear specialists saw in the sky over the station a fiery ball of the color of brass. The witnesses estimated its diameter as 6-8 meters and its distance from the burning nuclear reactor No. 4 as some 300 meters. Just before the observation these specialists measured the level of radiation in the place where they were standing. It was measured at 3000 milliroentgens per hour. 'Suddenly two bright rays of crimson color extended from the ball to the reactor... This lasted for some 3 minutes... The rays abruptly faded and the ball slowly floated away in a north-westerly direction, towards Byelorussia. Then we again looked at our radiation monitor. It displayed only 800 milliroentgens per hour...'"
Just thought you'd like to know. Jerry Washington Former State Director, Kentucky/MUFON
UFO Casebook also collected statements from Ukrainians citizens in reference to the UFO sightings.
RuimtevaartNa een rimpelloze reis van zeven jaar staat de Amerikaanse sonde Dawn aan de drempel van haar eindbestemming: dwergplaneet Ceres. Dat heeft projectmanager Robert Mase van het Amerikaanse ruimtevaartbureau NASA laten weten. Het toestel is in uitstekende staat.
Door Vesta en Ceres te bestuderen, krijgen we meer inzicht over het ontstaan van ons zonnestelsel, in het bijzonder van de aarde-achtige planeten en, belangrijkst van al, de aarde zelf
Carol Raymond, onderzoeker
Gelanceerd in september 2007 zet de Dawn koers naar de dwergplaneet Ceres om in de vroege uren van vrijdag (Amerikaanse tijd) in een baan om het hemellichaam te komen. Tegen december moet het ruimtetuig zijn dichtste punt bereiken.
Voor het eerst gezien in 1801, bevindt Ceres zich in de asteroïdengordel tussen Mars en Jupiter.
De onbemande sonde bezocht eerder al de gigantische asteroïde Vesta en bleef er in 2011 en 2012 veertien maanden rond draaien. De bedoeling van Dawn is foto's te maken van Ceres en data te verzamelen over de omvang en samenstelling van de dwergplaneet.
"Door Vesta en Ceres te bestuderen, krijgen we meer inzicht over het ontstaan van ons zonnestelsel, in het bijzonder van de aarde-achtige planeten en, belangrijkst van al, de aarde zelf", zei hoofdonderzoekster Carol Raymond. Speciale belangstelling krijgen twee intrigerende heldere plekken op het oppervlak van Ceres die hun gelijke niet hebben in het zonnestelsel. De zeer reflecterende plekken kunnen ijs of zouten omvatten.
Van start tot finish kost de missie 473 miljoen dollar.
Dawn is de eerste missie waarbij een sonde rond twee hemellichamen draait, en de eerste om een dwergplaneet te bezoeken. Eenmaal de missie voorbij en de brandstof opgebruikt, zal het 747 kilo wegende tuig wellicht nog honderden jaren rond Ceres blijven draaien, zei Mase.
Geraken we hier op tijd weg voor onze aarde volledig opgebruikt is? Misschien wel, want wie weet verhuizen we binnenkort naar een nieuwe bewoonbare planeet die we kunnen koloniseren. Helaas is de planeet een eindje vliegen, zo'n 20,5 lichtjaren, ofwel 20,5 jaar reizen aan lichtsnelheid.
Die nieuwe planeet, die de naam GJ 581d meekreeg, werd aanvankelijk beschouwd als "een stellaire activiteit die zich voordoet als een planeet", maar onderzoekers van de Queen Mary University of London hebben die stelling ontkracht.
Volgens hoofdonderzoeker Dr. Guillem Anglada-Escudé is de ontdekking van GJ 581d belangrijk, omdat het de eerste 'aardeachtige' planeet is binnen de 'Goldilocks-zone'. De Goldilocks-zone is de afstand van een planeet tot een ster waarbinnen de temperatuur optimaal is en leven mogelijk is.
Voor we verhuizen veranderen we misschien best de naam, want GJ 581d kunnen we nu niet echt catchy noemen.
astronomieEen internationaal team van sterrenkundigen heeft ontdekt dat de snelste ster uit de Melkweg een bolide is dankzij een geëxplodeerde tweelingzus. De onderzoekers, onder wie de Nederlander Thomas Kupfer, publiceren hun resultaten morgen in het wetenschappelijke tijdschrift Science, zo meldt astronomie.nl.
Een team van astronomen uit Duitsland, de Verenigde Staten, Engeland en Nederland keek met telescopen op Hawaï naar ster US 708. Het was al geweten dat deze ster snel was, maar hoe zij precies aan haar snelheid komt, was niet bekend.
De wetenschappers combineerden nieuwe metingen met gegevens uit databases. Daardoor konden ze berekenen dat de ster met meer dan 4,3 miljoen kilometer per uur door het heelal schiet, sneller dan alle tot nu toe bekende sterren. Astronomie.nl vergelijkt: ons zonnestelsel reist met "slechts" 0,8 miljoen kilometer per uur rond het centrum van de Melkweg.
De ster is niet alleen maar snel. Uit de reconstructie van de route die zij heeft afgelegd, blijkt dat het hemellichaam nooit in de buurt van het superzware zwart gat in het centrum van de Melkweg kan zijn geweest. Dat is volgens de website vreemd omdat wetenschappers er tot nu toe van uitgingen dat sterren alleen maar tot grote snelheid kunnen worden aangejaagd als ze rakelings langs een zwart gat scheren.
De onderzoekers denken derhalve dat ster US 708 deel uitmaakte van een ultracompacte dubbelster. De tweelingzus was waarschijnlijk een zware witte dwerg die alle helium in de buurt opslokte en daarna ontplofte als supernova. Door de explosie kreeg US 708 een oplawaai die leidde tot de enorme snelheid.
Tired of hearing stories about Area 51? Here’s a list of other places routinely visited by UFOs.
Over the years, a plethora of reports have earned the San Luis Valley the reputation of a UFO hotspot. And it’s not just flying saucers. People have allegedly seen shadow people lurking in the area and cattle from several farms have been found mutilated. Conspiracy theorists have drawn parallels between these strange cases and the alleged presence of a number of secret military bases. As you would expect, such a connection would be difficult to prove.
Rumor has it that during WWII, the Nazis retrieved a crashed UFO and were actively researching the alien technology it carried. However, the war ended before they could turn the tide in their favor. The same rumors say that the research had been carried out in a secret facility located in the Wenceslas Mine in southwestern Poland.
Some conspiracy theorists believe that Die Glocke, The Nazi Bell was designed and built in this underground facility location.
Dulce is a small town with a population of about 3,000 residents, located near the border of New Mexico and Colorado. It’s also home to one of the most controversial underground bases. Some have claimed that beneath the Archuleta Mesa lies a facility housing thousands of reptilians and the unethical experiments they allegedly perform on humans. According to other accounts, it is the gray aliens who run the base but the activity is the same.
No matter how outrageous these claims might seem, a few conspiracy theorists swear the whole thing is real.
Discovered in 1989, this 70 square kilometer area is located in the Ural Mountains. Its proximity to a village called Molyobka has caused the zone to be nicknamed the M-Triangle. Reports claim that the area receives constant UFO visits and physical manifestations. Strange lights, strange shadows, unknown energies, symbols in the sky; apparently this place has them all.
Unfortunately, there isn’t much information available about the M-Triangle, making it another unverifiable Russian mystery.
Tonopah, Nevada houses a highly secretive base and it’s located about 70 miles northwest of Area 51. Very few people know of its existence and it is rarely mentioned even between members of the intelligence services. Lockheed’s F-117 Nighthawk was a well-kept secret at the Tonopah Test Range in the mid-1980’s. Although these stealth fighters left the base years ago, it still remains operational. What could it be hiding now?
Five hundred miles to the southeast and we’re in Tonopah, Arizona. While no anomalies are reported over Tonopah, Nevada, its eponymous counterpart has plenty. People have reported UFOs of all shapes and sizes flying over Tonopah, AZ. Sometimes the flying saucers would be escorted by fighter jets, arising suspicion about joint alien-human operations. Some believe that the UFOs are actually attracted by the nearby Palo Verde nuclear plant. This behemoth generates a shocking 3.3 gigawatts of power, enough to serve 4 million people, send Marty McFly back in time twice and attract curious extraterrestrials, all at once.
In the early 1980’s, Bob Lazar started making public appearances and sensational statements. He claimed to have been employed by the U.S. government to work on reverse-engineering captured alien craft. These activities were allegedly carried out inside the S4 facility, which was hidden in the side of a mountain, 20 miles south of Area 51.
Lazar was unable to provide the exact location of the S4 base since he and his fellow workers had been transported with a blacked-out bus to the site. The facility consists of nine hangars built into the mountainside, with the angle of the hangar doors matching the natural slope of the mountain and well-camouflaged among the surrounding environment. Inside, scientists and gray aliens work towards an unknown common purpose.
Bob Lazar’s claims remain unverified and largely unverifiable due to the area being highly restricted to public view.
Word around conspiracy sites has it that former dictator Saddam Hussein was in cahoots with aliens. Or at least managed to grab some of their technology from a crashed (unearthed, as some would say) UFO. This alleged secret area was located somewhere in the upper valley of the Little Zab River, near a town called Zarzi.
Saddam’s very own Area 51 attracted interest in 2002, when an anonymous source with ties to the military claimed that a UFO had crashed in Iraq in the previous years. Information is scarce and there’s little hope of finding out whether this actually happened.
Interestingly enough, the Nazi occult organization called Ahnenerbe showed interest in the area around Zarzi and allegedly recovered artifacts from an excavated ancient Sumerian city.
The highly disputed border between India and China is an inhospitable place. Located on this border is Kongka La, a remote mountain pass which is said to be home to an alien base. Locals on both sides of the pass have reported many strange occurrences and they claim both governments know about the unusual activity taking place in the pass. They say triangle-shaped silent crafts are seen taking off vertically from and disappearing into an underground UFO base.
Sometimes called Russia’s Roswell, this secretive base has served as a research and test facility for Soviet missiles, rockets and satellites. Over the years, numerous strange events have been linked to this base. Rumor has it that there’s an underground base beneath Kaputsin Yar, where the remains of a downed UFO were brought in for study in 1948.
The most recent event involved a UFO that hovered over the base for two hours, emitting a bright beam of light from time to time.
500 Year Old Chinese manuscript Describes Alien Abduction
A Chinese manuscript uncovered in 2011 detailed a very unusual event: an alien abduction. According to the text, in 1528, a strange star traversed the sky from east to west. It descended and landed near a village in the mountains. Intrigued by the event, a stonemason approached the object. He described it as being shaped like a grinding wheel as big as a house, covered in brilliant colors.
He was brought inside the object by two human-looking beings who spoke to him in a language he could not understand. Once inside, the two humanoids placed him on a table and took his heart out to examine it. The stonemason said he did not bleed nor did he feel any pain. He then fell asleep.
He was awaken in a cold, strange land with a red hue. Although the sun, moon and stars were still present, there were no buildings and the people had round faces and three eyes. They wore strange clothing and spoke a strange language. He then lost his consciousness.
When he came back to his senses, he found himself back home only to learn he had been gone for a whole year.
The author of the text writes that when he heard of this tale, he went to see the stonemason. He had a red scar on his chest and swore the account was real.
If this text is authentic, we have yet another ancient depiction of alien abduction, telepathy and missing time.
Giants are mentioned all over the world, not just in Western cultures. While ancient giants such as Og, Goliath and the Nephilim have a greater notoriety, there are several documents depicting giants who breathed, fought and died in Central and South America.
One such document is the Codex Ríos, also called Codex Vatican A. It is the Italian translation of an older manuscript written during the Spanish colonial era. The codex features an interesting illustration of Aztec warriors subduing and killing a giant. Text adjacent to the illustration tells us that the giant’s name wasQuinametzin, which means ‘One of the Old Ones’.
When the Spanish conquistadors arrived, they encountered more than just legends. Some of them were greeted by actual giants.
Aztec accounts of the Spanish invasion translated by Miguel Leon-Portilla in his book The Broken Spears tell the story of the giant Aztec hero Tzilacatzin. As the conquistadors attempted a hostile takeover of Tenochtitlán, they were promptly dismissed by Tzilacatzin’s intervention. The giant kept them at bay by throwing large stones ripped from the city wall. Needless, to say, this feat exceeds the capacity of regular human beings.
According to the text, the giant was a great captain known for his bravery and strength. Naturally, the Conquistadors made him their number one enemy. While they were unable the conquer the city that day, it eventually fell and it is likely that Tzilacatzin also fell with it.

CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH AN ALIEN DISC IN ALGERIA MARCH 1969 …….. BOUAMAMA ALGERIA
An extraordinary UFO sighting was reported one night in March, 1958, during the Algerian War, at a Foreign Legion camp at Bouamama in the Sud Constantinois. The sole witness. Legionnaire N.G., was on sentry duty outside the camp. The site where he was consisted of a fortified emplacement dug out of the ground, lightly armored and equipped with a telephone connected to the camp. The night was cloudless and the moon was shining. All was silent on the desert landscape. No large-scale operations were being carried out in the area at the time so N.G., who had been in the Legion for three years, was not feeling especially anxious. He was sitting on the ground near the trench, and had his rifle. If anything unexpected happened he was supposed either to fire his rifle or call the camp by telephone. Suddenly, at a few minutes after 0.30 hours, something did happen.
What it was that happened, we cannot say for sure. The witness remembers seeing a positive, physical phenomenon of enormous size. But he feels that something most unusual happened to him psychologically. And he freely admits that there might well be a difference between what he sincerely remembers and what actually took place. It began with a whistling noise, the sort of noise you hear if you blow into the neck of a bottle. This sound seemed to him to be coming down from the sky. He immediately looked up, and saw an enormous, roundish object descending. It stopped when it was about 35-40 meters (roughly 100 to 120 ft.) above the ground, and began to hover there, motionless and silent. He estimated it to be as much as 350 meters wide (1,000 ft.). As seen by him slightly from below, during the arrival and take-off phases, it seemed to be elliptical in shape, quite independently of the perspective effect that makes a disc look elliptical when observed from a point outside the disc’s center-line.
Its span might, he thought, have been in the neighborhood of 250 meters. He estimated the distance between himself and the nearest edge of the object at little more than 50 meters (150 ft.). When I asked Monsieur N.G. to extend his arms towards the ends of the object as he recalled seeing it, he held them out at an angle of about 100 between them. This estimate would fit quite well with the estimates given above of its size and its distance from him. The object was surrounded by pale green light, and an intense conical beam of emerald-green light was coming from the center of the under-part towards the ground. Legionnaire N.G. did not fire his rifle, nor did he pick up the telephone. He just remembers staring at the object for 45 to 50 minutes. The pale green and emerald colors were the most beautiful, relaxing and fascinating colors he had ever seen. Legionnaire N.G. had forgotten all about the war. All nervous or psychological tension had gone from his mind. He was just feeling happy. Then came the noise again, like somebody blowing into a bottle, and the object started rising gently, until it had reached a height of about I(K) or 120 meters. Then it flew offal tremendous speed towards the North-West, climbing as it went. What the Legionnaire then felt was a sort of sadness at the disappearance of this beautiful sight. After a few minutes this feeling began to fade, yielding place to a return of his ordinary state of consciousness, until his full mental faculties were back. He quickly picked up the telephone and reported what he had seen. To his great amazement however the officer at the camp simply replied in the manner: “Alright. We’ll see about it tomorrow morning.” Greatly disappointed at the officer’s reaction, N.G. continued his watch until he was relieved by another man in the early hours of the morning. He again reported his experience, and this time more attention was paid to him. Some of his superiors were inclined to believe his story, because N.G., then aged 28, was a well-respected soldier and was considered serious and reliable.
The majority however thought it was just a case of psychological trouble caused by the tough conditions of war in the desert. A careful investigation was carried out at the scene of the sighting. N.G. recalls with a smile that the officers even examined the sand with a magnifying lens. No footprints, no marks, no alien material was found in the area, and no smell either. Probably more for medical than for “ufological” reasons, the witness was thoroughly questioned by officers. He stuck to his original story, and the affair was considered to be quite amazing. He was sent lo the Military Hospital at Val dc Grace in Paris. There he was kept for a week under dose scrutiny by neurologists and psychiatrists. An electroencephalogram revealed nothing unusual. T
he conclusion of all the doctors was that N.G. was in a slate of good physical and mental health. He had not been notably affected by the strains caused by wartime service in Algeria. He had no tendency towards drinking, and was considered to be competent for service in the Foreign Legion, which means an especially hard way of life. Indeed, no man with a tendency towards dreaming or science-fiction, or with an over-developed imagination or analytical, critical mind would he selected for service in the Legion.
Enkele dagen geleden kijkt een Engelse amateurastronoom door zijn telescoop omdat Venus zo mooi helder aan de hemel stond.
Tot zijn stomme verbazing ontdekt hij echter iets anders naast Venus.
Het volgende verhaal is afkomstig van MUFON en speelde zich af op 28 februari 2015 in Engeland.
De getuige vertelt het volgende:
Ik besloot om naar Venus te kijken omdat het erg helder was die avond. Ik heb een Pulsar Recon 550 nachttelescoop en ik houd mij actief bezig met het observeren van de hemel.
Ik woon op een boerderij en heb erg weinig last van luchtvervuiling. Ik opende het raam en merkte op dat er zich naast Venus nog een object bevond.
Ik keek er korte tijd naar en pakte toen mijn verrekijker. Maar, met de verrekijker was er niets te zien.
Ik rende naar binnen en pakte mijn opnameapparatuur om deze vast te maken aan mijn telescoop. De wind was heel krachtig, met winstoten tot 100 kilometer per uur en kwam uit zuidwestelijke richting, precies mijn kant op.
Ik hing uit het raam en filmde gedurende ongeveer 4 minuten. Het object bewoog zich langzaam van de ene kant van Venus naar de andere. Na 4 minuten verschenen er wolken en verdween het object gewoon.
Dit alles was met het blote oog niet zichtbaar. Er zijn mensen die suggereren dat dit een lensflare is. Ik heb eerder heldere objecten gefilmd zoals Venus, Jupiter en de Maan en nog nooit last gehad van een lensflare. Ik heb ook niet gefilmd door een gesloten raam, het was open.
Toen ik later die avond naar bed ging, hoorde ik een zoemend geluid. Ik dacht dat het de wind was die iets liet vibreren, alhoewel het iets dergelijks nog nooit eerder heeft gedaan en we in een gebied wonen waar veel wind voor komt.
Niemand anders hoorde dit zoemende geluid. Ik kon het nog steeds horen toen ik oordopjes had in gedaan.
De volgende dag voelde ik mij vreemd en licht in het hoofd. Ik kon niet helder denken en bleef vergeten waar ik dingen had neergelegd. Ik had ook een overweldigende neiging om wat ik de vorige avond had gezien te weerleggen/ontkrachten.
A video shows two bright unidentified orb-like objects hovering in the sky over Barwell, Leicestershire. The video was shot by a 41-year-old woman early in the morning of February 3, 2015. Loud noise reportedly awake the woman at 4:50 am. She first thought that the noise was coming from downstairs so, she got up in bed and checked the cause of the disturbance. But she found nothing downstairs, so she made her way back to bed. To her surprise, she spotted two lights out of her window.
Joanne Kavanagh of Leicestershire UFO Investigation Network (LUFOIN) said that it was a clear sky, and no clouds can be seen.
The witness said that the two lights became one and moved side to side. She claimed that she observed the lights for around a minute and a half and shot a video of the strange activity using her phone for 20 seconds. She said that the lights shot off at great speed and merged into one again.
According to Joanne, who also claimed to have experienced unexplained incidents herself, the organisation is still at the stage of investigating the causes of the lights.
She said that they don’t have a single clue at the moment. As of now, they are trying to rule out any possibilities. But they are sure that the lights were not from a police helicopter. She said that the movements of the lights are not the actions of a plane or a helicopter.
Joanne also ruled out Chinese lanterns or drones because they simply don’t move in the same way as the lights in the video.
George Van Tassel talks about his personal UFO extraterrestrial encounters along with technologies in the 1960’s that are very similar to HAARP. Van Tassel adds that the ET’s are walking amongst us right now.
Original air-date: June 18, 1964. This recording is from the KVOS Channel 12 Films, Center for Pacific Northwest Studies, Western Washington University, Bellingham WA 98225-9123.
In 1952, over a week before the events of the 1952 Washington D.C. UFO incident George-Van-Tassel notified the US air force, Los Angeles Herald-Examiner and the Life (magazine) of the future events of the 1952 Washington D.C. UFO incident via registered letters.[6] This event was witnessed by thousands of people in and around the Washington D.C. area. It is one of the most publicized sightings to have ever taken place. In the said letters he informed the US air force, Los Angeles Herald-Examiner and the Life (magazine) that space craft were going to fly over Washington D.C. before the end of the month. The events occurred over a week later.
August 25, 1974, El Paso, Texas. A small civilian plane takes off a dusty airstrip, heading for Mexico City. Its journey would be cut short over the Chihuahua Desert in Mexico by a mid-air collision with -you guessed it- a UFO.
Unbeknownst to the small plane’s pilot, the U.S. Air Defense Radar had been tracking what they thought was a meteor traveling at a speed of over 2,000 mph (3,200 km/h+) over the Gulf of Mexico. When the speeding object suddenly changed course, the authorities realized it was no mere meteor and went one level higher on the alert scale.
As the UFO descended over the Mexican town of Coyame, population 2,500, it disappeared off the radar. Shortly after, a civilian radio station announced the crash of an aircraft in the area.
During the course of the following morning, Mexican authorities’ recovery teams had identified the crash site and the military was dispatched at approximately 10:35 a.m. A second crash site was discovered only a few miles away. The U.S. authorities offered their assistance in dealing with the situation, like a helpful neighbor is wont to. They were declined.
Not wanting to miss out on any of the fun involving the recovery of a presumably alien craft, the U.S. had already assembled its own recovery team at Fort Bliss, near El Paso, TX.
According to researchers Noe Torres and Ruben Uriarte, authors of the book The Mexican Roswell, the Mexican Army had loaded the plane wreck on a truck and the UFO on another one and started heading south when things suddenly went south.
Sources say that growing impatient, the U.S. authorities ordered a low altitude fly-by in order to assess the situation over the border. The pilots reported that the Mexican military convoy had stopped smack in the middle of the desert and no signs of activity could be observed. The team at Fort Bliss got the green light to step in and take over.
American forces in hazmat suits arrived a little over 4 p.m. and were met by a very unusual sight.
The Mexican recovery team members were all dead, quite possibly due to the flying saucer they had hauled on a flatbed truck. The UFO was about 16 feet in diameter and had the color of polished steel. It was quickly attached to a helicopter and covertly transported to the U.S. Everything else was blown up using high explosives. There was no sense in preserving whatever alien pathogens killed off the Mexican forces.
The Coyame UFO incident is denied by both governments and there are no Coyame newspaper records from Agust 1974. The only press mention comes from the October 27th edition of El Heraldo de Chihuahua, which makes a passing reference of a group of Mexican soldiers dying during a military transport.
However, the event is recalled by some of the older residents of Coyame who remember a day in which soldiers passed through the town and the wreck of a small plane going up in flames.
