MOD helicopter chases four UFOs?
MOD helicopter chases four UFOs?
A family in England claims they observed a Ministry of Defense helicopter chasing four UFOs. And the search for intelligent extraterrestrials gets an upgrade. These and other space and UFO stories on this episode of Spacing Out!
Danish police officer has two close encounters (the Maarup sightings)
Danish police officer has two close encounters (the Maarup sightings)
Date: August 13, 1970 Location: Hadersley, Denmark
Danish police officer Evald Maarup was driving through the countryside near Hadersley, when he encountered a brilliantly lit UFO. Suddenly there was a fierce light beaming down on him, his car engine cut out, and the car lights and his radio stopped working. Above him, Maarup could make out a large circular object which he watched for about five minutes, before it moved away rapidly. Three years later, Maarup had another encounter with the same or a similar object at exactly the same place.

The 1970 sighting by police officer Evald Hansen Maarup near Hadersley, Denmark, during which he was able to take three photographs of the object, was widely reported in the Danish press and in the journals of foreign UFO organisations. His second sighting, almost precisely three years later, is less known but is of interest in view of its almost a duplication of the earlier incident R

On August 13, 1970, Danish senior police officer Evald Maarup was driving back to his home in Knud, using the patrol vehicle at about 10:30 P.M., on a country road connecting Kabdrup and Flestrup, not far from the border enters Denmark and Germany, when something out of the ordinary happened to him.
At about ten kilometers in the North of the town of Hadersley, the car became bathed in a very powerful bluish light, and the car engine stopped suddenly. The officer tried to communicate with his police station by means of the car's radio, but it did not function at all. It was if if all the electricity had disappeared of the patrol car.
Officer Maarup then realized that the temperature inside the vehicle had increased, and that it continued to increase quickly. In his report, he stated that he had the feeling that one would have during a hot summer sun when it hits a car's windshield.
A short moment later, it was obvious to him that the bluish light seemed to be withdrawing. Maarup realized that the light actually surrounded a flying machine of elliptical shape, metallic appearance, and of a diameter of approximately 10 meters, which was now rising in the sky.
Maarup noticed that actually, the rise of the craft was not the only cause of the withdrawal of the light which surrounded it. He realized that the extent of the light around the craft decreased as if the craft was swallowing the light into its body, from a defined point located at the center of the bottom side of the craft, in which the light was engulfed as if it had been sucked into there. This part of the craft appeared clearly delimited to him, by a dark part of a diameter he estimated at one meter. He also saw some protrusion on the underside of the objects (see drawing on the right).
At this time, he remembered that he had a Fujaxa camera at disposal, as he is the rule, in the police car. He used it, and managed to take three snapshots of the object. Those, developed the following day, did not show much more than a gleam of light, without revealing any details.
After the series of events which Maarup estimated the duration of about five minutes, the craft then flew away at high speed in the sky. During all the events, the craft was totally noiseless.
As soon as the object flew away, the car's engine started again spontaneously, the power went back, so that the lights went back, and the radio functioned again.
Maarup then went out of the patrol car, to look for clues or evidence of the event in the surroundings. He found none, but when he touched the car, he noticed that it had become heated.
Very remarkably, Maarup had a second sighting almost three years to the day after this first encounter. On July 14, 1973, in the same area and at roughly the same time, he saw a similar shaped UFO above the countryside as it passed over the landscape. Once again he was able to take pictures of the object but once again, all the six pictures were disappointing, showing only an indistinct spot of light. He also saw several dome like protrusions on the underside of the object.

Humans' Extraterrestrial DNA
Humans' Extraterrestrial DNA
Ellen Lloyd - MessageToEagle.com - Did we inherit our genes from an advanced alien race that seeded life on our planet and genetically engineered our species in their image?
Does human DNA contain evidence of extraterrestrial life?
Is there a coded alien message in our DNA?
As you already know from my one of my previous articles Scientists Question the Age and Origins of Man several puzzling ancient discoveries have led archaeologists to believe that our ancient civilizations were much more advanced than previously thought.
The serious flaws in Darwin's theory of evolution challenge our deep-rooted beliefs and urge us to open our minds to new possibilities and explore the ancient world from a different perspective.
The theory that "someone" seeded life on our planet has been promoted for many years by distinguished scientists. Let us mention Sir Francis Crick as a good example.
Sir Francis Crick (1916-2004) who was Nobel Prize Winner, astronomer and co-discoverer of the DNA molecule suggested in the 1980s that an advanced civilization seeded life on Earth in the remote past. This theory is called Directed Panspermia.
Sir Francis Crick was not only an intelligent but also a courageous scientist who was not afraid of facing criticism from those who disliked his unorthodox ideas.
While searching for the origins of life, Crick did not pursue ancient historical mysteries. Instead, he focused on the nature of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (Ribonucleic acid) and what at that time was known about how life originated on Earth.
'We shall postulate that on some distant planet some four billion years ago or so, there had evolved a form of higher creature who, like ourselves, had discovered science and technology, developing them far beyond anything we have accomplished.'
The earliest traces of life we can detect at the present time are found associated with rocks dated to about 3.6 billion years ago… but the fossil record, formed by simple animals whose hard parts have been preserved, is only 0.6 billion years old," wrote Sir Francis Crick in his book Life itself
Crick was aware of the astonishing complexity of DNA. He pointed out that it took the simplest single cell organisms 1.4 billion years to evolve. The next crucial step in complexity to multicellular organisms took almost 2 billion years more. However, when mammals suddenly appeared about 200 million years ago, for some reasons complexity took a quantum leap.
The main point is that we expect it should have taken a shorter period of time for the simplest life-forms to evolve and much longer for the most complex organisms.
Yet for mammals it took only a fraction of the time to develop compared to the earliest and simplest life-forms. What happened?
Crick discovered that strong evidence supporting Directed Panspermia came in the fossil record. According to Crick's theory microorganisms should appear suddenly "without any evidence of prebiotic systems or very primitive organisms."
Crick was able to confirm the absence of any fossil evidence for transitional forms of life. According to Crick our planet's absence of transitional forms; transitional forms being the evidence for evolution which, "would only have existed on the sender planet, not on Earth."
Crick came to the conclusion: "Directed Panspermia - postulates that the roots of our form of life go back to another place in the universe, almost certainly another planet; that it had reached a very advanced form there before anything much had started here; and that life here was seeded by microorganisms sent on some form of spaceship by an advanced civilization."
Another scientist who put forward a very interesting theory is Professor Paul Davies from the Australian Centre for Astrobiology at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. Prof. Davies believes that there might be an alien message coded in our DNA.
'Scientists have recently discovered large sequences of "junk" DNA that contain no genes and appears to be very stable. If ET has put a message into terrestrial organisms, this is surely where to look.'
The artifact could easily end up buried or drowned or eroded to scrap. The ideal solution would be to encode the message inside a large number of self-replicating, self-repairing microscopic machines programmed to multiply and adapt to changing conditions.
Fortunately such machines already exist: they are called living cells. The cells in our bodies, for example, contain genetic messages written by Mother Nature billions of years ago, " said Davies.
According to Prof. Davies. the coded message would only be discovered once the human race had the technology to read and understand it.
A message implanted in human DNA could actually survive for a very long time. According to American scientists whole chunks of human and mouse junk DNA can remain virtually unchanged for tens of millions of years.
If we consider the amount of evidence and clues our star gods left for us scattered all over the planet, it sounds logical to assume there might be a coded message in our DNA. Our human cells are a good place to implant a message. If there is an alien message in our DNA strands, there is hope that we will discover and decode it one day in the future.
In the same way extraterrestrials came to Earth and created us through genetic engineering and mixed their genes with existing animals, perhaps humanity will one day go out in space, land on another planet and create new life…

The Hill UFO Abduction Case
The Hill UFO Abduction Case
On September 19, 1961, married couple Betty and Barney Hill had a close encounter with a craft and its occupants. The Hill's experience became the first widely publicised case of the alien abduction scenario, one that would change perceptions towards our 'space brothers' forever.
A Close Encounter
Betty and Barney Hill
Throughout the 1950's, in the USA, most reported cases of UFOs were restricted to sightings of "strange lights" in the sky, unusual looking aircraft and cases of "Contactees" - people claiming to have had meetings and conversations with the human-like occupants of extraterrestrial crafts. George Adamski first claimed to have taken photographs of, boarding and flying in ships from space with "Nordic" beings in 1952, helping to popularise a perception that if beings were buzzing about, they must be friendly, intelligent and wise. However, in 1961 a couple named Betty and Barney Hill were to change many of the ideas and notions we had of possible inter-planetary beings and their possible motives. The couple lived in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and at the time were active in their local community. Betty was a Social Worker and Barney was employed by the US Postal Service. The couple were an inter-racial couple, Barney being an African-American man, and both were popular with friends and family. It was September 19th at around 10:30pm, when the happily married couple were returning home from a vacation to Canada when they encountered what Betty at first thought to be a falling star, only it was moving upward like a plane or satellite. Observing the object through binoculars, it became clear they were seeing a multi-coloured "odd-shaped" craft that they then pursued along the highway. At some point the craft descended and flew in their direction. Having stopped on the highway, the craft sat rotating in front of their 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air, reminding them of a huge pancake.
The craft the Hills witnessed
Stepping out of the car, with a pistol, Barney approached the vehicle and saw through binoculars a number of "humanoid" looking men, who peered at him through windows. One communicated to him to "stay where you are and keep looking!". Barney ran back towards the car and drove away at high speed in a hysterical state, telling his wife to look for the craft, but Betty saw nothing but sky. Arriving home at dawn, they tried to reconstruct their memories of their trip but they were vague, both drawing a picture of a craft in the middle of the road, but found they could not remember much else. Noticing her dress was torn in certain places, Betty went to discard it, but for some reason kept it.
Remembering
The grey alien beings
On September 21st, Betty made contact with Pease Air Force Base and reported the encounter; although at first she held back some of the details. Major Henderson interviewed the couple a few days later and concluded they had perhaps seen the Planet Jupiter and misidentified it. Ten days after the encounter, and for five nights in succession, Betty would have vivid nightmares, and in November started writing these dreams down, one in which she wrote of being forced from the car by small grey men in military outfits and calling out to Barney who appeared to be in a trance-like state. In February 1962 the Hills' began driving along the highway, during the weekends, trying to find the site of the encounter, hoping to uncover memories of the event, but were not successful. After months of discussing the event amongst themselves and with their church (and the U.S.A.F.), Betty and Barney were referred to a hypnotherapist in Boston by the name of Dr. Benjamin Scott, who met with the couple initially on the 14th of December, 1963. Dr Scott began hypnosis sessions with the couple almost 3 weeks later in January 1964, in separate sessions that would last until June.
The Star Map
Over the months the two gave amazingly near accurate stories of being taken from their car by small beings who separated them in the craft, and both underwent medical examinations. Barney claimed his anus was inserted with a tube-like device. They reported having conversations with these beings via telepathy, and were told not to be afraid of what was occurring. Betty recalled in some sessions seeing a "star map", a hologram of stars described as a 3 dimensional map. She was only able to sketch, after some suggestion, a small portion of it consisting of twelve prominent stars connected by lines and three lesser ones that formed a distinctive triangle. She said she was told the stars connected by solid lines formed "trade routes", whereas dashed lines were to less-travelled stars. They were returned to their car afterwards, and for some reason lost all memory of being on the craft.
Going Public
Betty and Barney Hill with a copy of 'The Interrupted
Journey'.
The couple resumed normal lives up until October 1965 when a Boston newspaper ran a headline story about the encounter; the reporter allegedly having obtained a tape of the Hill’s giving a lecture at a convention the previous year, as well as confidential interviews they had given to UFO investigators. They were rapidly thrust into the international spotlight, and the following year an author, with co-operation from the couple and Dr. Simon, published 'The Interrupted Journey', recalling the case. It was an instant success. In 1968 Marjorie Fish, an elementary teacher and amateur astrologer read the book and concluded that the map was of the star system named Zeta Reticuli. Crop circle enthusiast’s years later concluded that the map actually represents our Solar System.
Betty Hill with her alien bust
Psychiatrists and sceptics have for years argued that the Hills had an hallucination brought on by the stress of being an inter-racial couple in the 1960's, however both Betty and Barney denied this publicly, saying they had a happy, normal marriage free of anxiety. It has also been noted that the hypnosis sessions started months after the initial encounter, with many arguing that they had months to concoct a story.
Barney died of a stroke in February 1969. Betty claimed up until her death in 2004 at age 85 that after her abduction experience she had witnessed UFOs several times and she had become a "celebrity" in the UFO community.
Were Betty and Barney Hill abducted by occupants of a flying saucer in 1961? Had they hallucinated the encounter? Or was it all a down-right fabrication by two people seeking fame and publicity?

* Freedom of Information Act. * Summaries of declassified intelligence agency documents. * CIA and FBI summaries.
Intelligence agency documents span a time period of over fifty years. They are fascinating to study. Just think how much time, money, and energy went into the efforts these memos talk about, and think about the meaning of all this effort for something that supposedly does not exist: flying saucers. The following pages are summaries of some of the most complete letters and memos.
Complete copies of the documents mentioned in the summaries are reprinted in the 'Documents' section of this website. There are several thousand such declassified documents about flying saucers and UFOs that have been released through the Freedom of Information Act.
Patterns Emerge
Following the memos through the years you can see several patterns emerge:
* Concern over "What are these things?"
* Confusion over which military branch is in charge of UFOs.
* Do UFOs pose a national security risk? Later memos indicate the belief that they do not threaten the national security.
* What do we tell the public? And, who tells them?
* UFO events are worldwide, occurring in every country on earth.
Freedom of Information Act
The Freedom of Information Act was passed by congress in 1974. It is designed to give citizens access to the information and documents they own and pay for with their hard-earned money. The act is often referred to simply as FOIA. Although the idea of information availability is honorable, it is not easy to implement; the government is so large and fragmented that documents are stored in many different archives at different locations under different systems.
You cannot just call up one place and say, "Please, send me all your UFO information." It is a painstaking process. It can take years to try to get a single document, only to be told the document is not available or does not exist. You have to have a pretty good idea of what you are looking for and where it originated. Having said that, check out the documents on the following pages. Also included are some reference guides to tell you how and where to get more copies of declassified top secret documents.

Project Blue Book was the "official" Air Force investigation into UFOs. When asked about UFOs government officials always point to this announcement made in 1969. It says the Air Force has investigated UFOs and is no longer interested. Since the Air Force would seem to be the most logical military branch to carry out this investigation, the implication is that UFOs do not exist and that no government agency is investigating them. Wrong! Forget the Air Force! Continue to read through some of the following documents and you will see that virtually every other military branch and all the intelligence agencies keep track of flying saucers.

Department of Defense memo. Subject: Japanese expedition to Siberia.
A Russian scientific and industrial journal, Sotsialisticheskkaya Industriyia, describes a Japanese expedition to the site of the Tunguska Meteorite in Siberia. In theory, a great meteorite exploded there in 1908, destroying trees over an area of hundreds of square miles. No meteorite has ever been found. The Japanese research team concluded that the explosion had clearly been caused by the crash of a nuclear-powered spacecraft. The Japanese scientists erected a monument at the site, the first memorial in the USSR to commemorate a UFO. This sounds exciting, but it could have been a meteorite. We now know that meteorites frequently explode just above the earth's surface with the force of an atomic bomb.
Author and science journalist Linda Moulton Howe was told by a military intelligence officer that "Aliens told us (U.S. military) that the explosion at Tunguska was the result of a nuclear-powered engine being accidentally jettisoned from an alien spacecraft."

UFO sighting recorded on ISS live-cam on 25th March 2015
UFO sighting recorded on ISS live-cam on 25th March 2015
New interesting video footage of a bright UFO sighting recorded on ISS live-cam on 25th March 2015.
Witness said: It’s at the :45 Mark! Just when you think You got something Amazing,.. BOOM! Another Huge UFO Pops In the Frame and then GONE! UNDENIABLE! This goes down as one of the Best i Have ever caught on ISS Live.
Last week, we explored the history of the right triangle. This week, we're going to add an extra side and two extra dimensions as we consider the four dimensional cube!
Or, as Phys.org would describe it: “A rotating two-dimensional projection of the four-dimensional tesseract. The projection appears to change as it rotates even though the four-dimensional polytope is symmetrical because it is warped by the loss of two dimension[s]. [Image] Credit: Wikimedia Commons.”
Here's hoping we all don't lose two dimensions and become asymmetrically warped this weekend!
Another Unexplained Flash of Light Caught by Russian Dash Cams
Besides providing hours of entertainment related to traffic incidents, Russian dash cams have the added benefit of catching unexplained phenomena that seem to happen with increasing regularity. What’s going on, Russia?
On March 17, residents of the city of Stavropol in southern Russia witnessed a strange event. A little over midnight, a silent flash of light briefly illuminated the night sky. One driver who happened to be in the right place at the right time caught the whole thing and shared it with the rest of the world, prompting a heated discussion.
The blue flash of light was dead silent but caused a few problems. According to witness reports, streetlights went out and apparently the power grid was affected as many people said the light in their homes flickered for some time after the event.
This behavior has led some to believe that the flash could have produced some sort electromagnetic disturbance, creating uneasiness among the residents of Stavropol.
One possible explanation for the flash is the explosion of an electrical system. However, the absence of a boom that would accompany such an explosion meant the cause lies elsewhere. Also, the local authorities made no report of an accident taking place.
Northern Lights were also ruled out due to to the intensity and duration of the flash. It couldn’t have been caused by a meteor either, because 1) none were reported and 2) there was no bang.
The Russian Hydrometeorological center stated that the burst of light could not be“attributed to nature” and that no unusual meteorological phenomena were recorded during the night of March 17. They believe the source of the light was ground-based.
People are clueless about the nature of this flash and multiple explanations have been put forward. Many of them are linked to the military exercises that took place in Stavropol last week. The Russian Ministry of Defense gave no comments.
Other possible explanations include extraterrestrial space crafts, electromagnetic weapons and HAARP experiments. Pick your favorite.
In November of 2014, another Russian dash cam video made the rounds and has since remained unexplained:
In spite of the woman’s sudden and strange appearance out of nowhere, Howard was not frightened. He was instead “overcome by an overwhelming sense of wonderment” that made him freeze in his tracks. He felt a tremendous surge of warmth and love emanating from the woman and he approached her as one would an old friend or loved one.
The woman called him by name and said she had come a long way to see him and speak to him.
“She said she knew where I had come from,” Howard recalled, “and what my purpose would be here on Earth. She and her people had observed me for a long time and in ways I would not quickly understand. When she spoke of her ‘people,’ I still could not understand they were from another planet. I seemed to be encompassed by the very glow, almost visible, that emanated from her presence. I have often tried to describe it as like seeing a Technicolor movie in three dimensions and being a part of the action in the film.”
Again, the mysterious woman called Howard by name and said, “We are contacting our own,” words that Howard said would bring more joy and take on more meaning as he grew older. “It is no fault of yours, Howard, that you cannot understand everything. Do not worry,” she comforted him. Then her face took on an air of sadness, and she spoke of grave changes, destruction and torment that would move as a dark cloud over the country and the world. Before departing, the woman said he would see her again but it might not be for a long time. Howard returned to the same spot again often but the lady never reappeared.
Later, while an adult serving in the army, Howard was on vacation in Mexico when he encountered a man with shoulder-length blond hair sitting in a cab that Howard had just hailed. The blond man spoke to him without moving his lips, telepathically, and told Howard that he had been selected for a series of contacts with the aliens.
The alien warned Howard that his life might be in danger during his military service but it would never be necessary for him to kill anyone. This prophecy later came true when Howard was attacked by a Japanese soldier who came at him with a razor-sharp bayonet, cutting a hole in Howard’s tent in the middle of the night. Howard began firing at the enemy soldier, wounding him, but not mortally.
Howard would bump into his space friends nearly everywhere he went. They looked human enough, but there was just something odd about their appearance – something a bit “off” perhaps – that convinced him these visitors meant what they said when they claimed to be from other planets. They intimated to Howard that he had been selected to become a contactee because he had some of the same benevolent qualities about him that they had.
After the war, Howard returned to New Jersey and his contacts increased. He met them in his home as well as outdoors in several remote rendezvous spots where he had been told to go. On a number of occasions, he carried a camera with him to record some of their aerial activities. He even managed to get some still photos of the beings approaching him, backlit by the brightly illuminated exterior of their ship and creating eerie shadows.
As the years went on, Howard would gain fame as a contactee, perhaps second only to George Adamski, and would write a book called “From Outer Space To You” that remains a classic in its genre. Though controversy continues about whether Howard was part of a government “silence” group intent on muddying the waters regarding the truth about the flying saucer phenomenon, his many photos are still with us, and a goodly selection of those are featured in “UFO Repeaters.”
Coauthor Tim Beckley admits that he is predisposed to believing in Howard's fanciful stories because “he was such a charming individual . . . the type of guy who doesn't seem capable of lying to you.” Beckley says he lived down the road from Howard and often heard chatter from others who had “seen and heard things” on and around Howard’s property, despite the fact that they didn't really hook up with Howard himself. His rural neighbors pretty much kept to themselves but had witnessed enough to be capable of verifying some of the strange happenings said to have transpired in the apple orchard out back of Howard’s Highbridge, New Jersey, home.
PAUL VILLA
Like the legendary Swiss contactee, Billy Meier, Paul Villa was an unassuming gentleman of modest means who happened to capture some striking UFO photos. Paul had no axe to grind and no desire for publicity or fame. As so often happens in the world of UFO encounters, Paul did not find the flying saucer phenomenon; it found him.
Paul told UFO investigators that he would receive a telepathic message telling him to be at a certain location, usually somewhere near his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. When he arrived at the designated place, the aliens would essentially “pose” for him while he took photos with a Japanese-made camera and standard Kodak film.
Paul Villa has taken some remarkable photos of UFOs hovering over his truck as well as a photo of a ship preparing to touch down on tripod landing gears.
The result of those efforts is a beautiful series of full color photos depicting the flying saucers in all their glory. According to UFO researcher Wendelle Stevens, Paul’s photos are quite sharp compared to most photos of that era, which was the 1960s through the 1970s. The image size of the saucers is large enough to show good detail and the fact that Paul’s truck is in the foreground of some of the photos provides a known object with which to compare the size of the saucer and to judge its distance away from the camera.
Paul was born in 1916 of Native American/Spanish descent. He did not complete the tenth grade but had a good working knowledge of mathematics, physics, electricity and mechanics and was particularly gifted at detecting defects in engines and generators.
In 1953, while he was employed by the Department of Water and Power in Los Angeles, Paul encountered a man about seven feet tall who called him by name and could read his mind as well as knowing a great many facts about Paul’s past. The spaceman invited Paul to come aboard a metallic-looking, disc-shaped object floating on the water nearby and Paul agreed to go.
For Paul, the aliens were entirely human-looking, though more uniformly attractive than Earth people and definitely more refined in face and form. They took Paul on a tour of the saucer and said they are here on a friendly mission to help Earth people. As his contact experiences continued through the years, Paul was eventually invited to photograph the ships. The aliens flew their craft slowly and hovered as Paul snapped away. In the mid-1960s, the photos began to draw the interest of flying saucer organizations, who debated the pictures’ authenticity and even at times tried to prove Paul to be a fraud.
The photos Paul took are breathtaking to look at and do appear to show genuine flying saucers set against lovely desert scenery. There are varying types of ships from photo to photo, which is consistent with UFO witness accounts since the 1940s and has led some analysts to think we are being visited by several different alien races and civilizations.
The notoriety that came with being chosen to take the photos did not make life easy for Paul, however. When he stopped at a local tavern one evening on his way home from work and sat sipping a beer, a stranger walked up and drew Paul’s blood with a punch in nose. His assailant called Paul crazy for “talking to spacemen.” On top of that, unwelcome curiosity seekers would descend on his family home and take “souvenirs” with them when they left. All the various forms of harassment necessitated relocating his family on several occasions.
Paul died in 1980 at age 64. Some of his photos were never made public, including a series that was reportedly taken on another planet. We may never know everything the UFO occupants revealed to Paul, but the idea that there is further photographic evidence of his to be seen is certainly a tantalizing one.
PERHAPS THE PHOTOS ARE FREELY GIVEN?
“UFO Repeaters” also includes photos by and the personal histories of other people who were selected to photograph flying saucers and, on occasion, their occupants. Ellen Crystall, Ed Walters, Joe Ferriere, Marc Brinkerhoff – the list goes on – were all at one time “brought into the fold,” so to speak, and produced a continual stream of photos that implies that there is some kind of mutual trust and, in some cases, an apparently loving relationship with the beings flying the ships at work here.
Why are these Repeaters granted this kind of privileged status with the UFO occupants? Why do the aliens seem to cancel the “terror factor” in certain cases and instead establish a caring, compassionate bond with some experiencers that continues throughout the mortal’s entire life? The vagaries of how these alien choices are made continue to elude us.
But, in the meantime, Global Communications can offer you this: a book that takes the stories behind these photographs and the people that took them basically at face value. There is no reason to doubt the photos’ authenticity, and many have long ago passed muster with photo analysis experts who were forced to concede that – whether or not there really IS an alien presence – the photos themselves were not the result of tampering or tricks.
The aliens have chosen to reveal their existence in many ways since Kenneth Arnold’s 1947 sighting started the ball rolling in the modern era. If this is so, why would occasional genuine photos not be part of that overall mix? Why would the UFO occupants withhold that kind of verification if they were willing to provide so many other forms of proof and confirmation?
But we are just beginning our tale of cosmic wonderment and will commence forthwith in our next installment to continue revealing the truth about the UFO Repeaters and their sincere efforts to document the reality of the unknown through the eye of the camera.
As the book’s title enthuses: Seeing is believing!
SUGGESTED READING
UFO REPEATERS! – SEEING IS BELIEVING – THE CAMERA DOESN'T LIE
I have long considered our society decadent, deranged, and puritanical all at once. For our purposes, I will not attempt an analysis of the various cultural, economic, and environmental issues that undermine our ability to lead free and happy lives.
It is enough to say that we are in trouble, even if we stand to lose nothing but our hearts, minds, and souls.
Our malaise can be measured by an “ugh factor.” How many times does one say “ugh” when one turns on the radio and hears another bland and monotonous autotune pop song? Or the “ugh” ejected from the diaphragm when one turns on the television to find nothing but a “Storage Wars” marathon?
Enough of my cantankerous bitching. The point is that I, as a young man turned old and semi-dead from trauma, have long dreamed of paradise. Paradise. Like the character Hugh Conway of the book and film “Lost Horizon”, I find myself shell-shocked from the irrecoverable losses suffered in my adult life; the loss of not only loved ones, but of opportunity and innocence. May I spend time in a Himalayan lamasery until my mild but persistent depression (downgraded from severe, like an existential hurricane) dissipates? And then play ball and teach school to nearly immortal Tibetan children? How I dream of recuperating in the safety of kindness and decency (I live on the Jersey Shore, a place that is the antithesis of kind and decent.)
So I spend too much time obsessing over lands with names like Shangri-La, Shambhala, Tir na Nog, Hyperborea, Agartha, and even Atlantis (though Atlantis has become a bit touristy in the escapist department.)
My latest obsession has been the mythical island of Hy Brasil, a land of enchantment off the coast of the green isle.
According to the 17th century navigator Captain John Nesbit, the island is inhabited by giant black rabbits and a solitary wizard who lives in a stone castle. The wizard was said to dispense the gold of wealth as well as the rare gems of arcane knowledge. Imagine having the chance to peruse his library. I'll guarantee you at least some of his grimoires are not available on Amazon.
The island is also connected to the Rendlesham Forest incident. Hy Brasil was one of the coordinates downloaded to Air Force Sergeant Jim Penniston's mind when he touched the UFO that hovered in front of his stunned face. The other locations given as coordinates were Caracol's pyramid in Belize, Montezuma's Castle in Arizona, the Giza pyramids in Egypt, the Nazca lines in Peru, Tai Shin mountain in China, and the portal to the Temple of Apollo in Naxos, Greece. Well, those all sound like cosmically-aligned places despite the profanation of tourist hordes armed with cellphone cameras. The coordinates to the Red Lobster on Queens Boulevard in New York are given in the sequel to the recently decoded binary script (because the occupants of UFOs also crave cheddar biscuits.)
So Hy Brasil has occupied my thoughts as of late. I even wrote a short science fiction story set in Hy Brasil. Faeries (in my story, indistinguishable from the gray aliens on the cover of “Communion”) abduct the main character to the fabled island. Once there, our protagonist marries a Brazilian (as in a citizen of the South American country) alien-human hybrid (the human side of the bride is very exotic and sexy) hermaphrodite (yes, the bride is a hermaphrodite too and he-she as both an alien hybrid and a hermaphrodite represents duality and binary opposition as oneness, an individualized tension as well as a reconciliation of opposites.)
The wizard conducts the ceremony with the faeries and black rabbits as attendants, and then the newlywed couple is whisked away to a honeymoon in Miami, where the union is consummated.
Why not Miami? Miami is Shangri-La with cocaine and Uzis. There you will find bronze gods and golden goddesses, ubermenschen (what are superwomen called in German, Nietzsche?), superior human beings frolicking on pristine beaches and taking their leisure in swimming pools as warm as hot tubs. As with all known locations, the Miami-Dade metro area falls short of a utopia, but it comes close enough. And the Barnes & Noble on Federal Highway has all the scholarly tomes this wizard needs! In the tropics I can stop dreaming and just be. Banish the thought of complete contentment if only to keep my curiosity alive for the unchartered territories.
Why can't a place like Hy Brasil actually exist? I believe it does. Agnostic on most fronts, I feel comfortable living by a quote from Jorge Luis Borges: “Being an agnostic means all things are possible, even God, even the Holy Trinity. This world is so strange that anything may happen, or not happen.” “There is more in heaven and earth than is dreamt of in your philosophy…” Maybe instead of Willy the Shake (as some hep-cat 1960s comedian called Shakespeare) I can instead apply Kierkegaard's take on Christianity to our mysterious island:
The tale of Hy Brasil is so absurd that it must – and I mean MUST – be true.
The Amazing Kreskin, world-renowned mentalist, has launched a dating website where people who believe in UFOs, aliens, ghosts, or any other supernatural topic can find like minded people. He is calling it The Amazing Kreskin’s Supernatural Dating Society, and it went live this week.
The website says it is for anyone with “interest in anything that defies a conventional explanation (and I really mean anything).” It notes that many times people keep these sorts of interests secret. It further states, “Makes no difference whether it’s visitations by aliens, haunted houses, extra sensory perception, astrology, mind control, curses, spirit healing, vampires, zombies, prophecy, contacting the dead, mind reading and anything in between.”
Kreskin’s dating website.
Kreskin says on the site that many people do not respect people with strange beliefs, so he is doing his part to get like minded people together.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan, Kreskin went into more detail about the site. He said that many people expressed interest in the paranormal and wanted to meet others to participate in activates such as ghost hunting and UFO spotting. Although he says he does not believe in “alien landings,” he says he has talked to many people about UFOs.
He told Cosmopolitan, “The other area, which is gigantic, is the UFO area. There are people who would like to go to sites — and listen, I don’t happen to believe in alien landings, but some people do. As far as UFOs, I talk to too many pilots that have had planes tracked; they told me stories; they said, ‘Kreskin, if we went back and made this public, we’d probably lose our jobs because the company would say, ‘You’re acting crazy,” or what have you. They want to go with someone they know feels the same way.”

Kreskin says he is too busy to date himself. He says he travels the world and has never had time to settle down. He turned 80 recently, but he says if he had settled down, he would have had plenty of children.
Although he might not be on the site dating, he says he will make regular contributions. He says, “I’m going to make some commentary every week or two on what seems to be the dominant thing people are wanting to read about, whether it’s a UFO thing or something else, and then I can give my own experiences and so forth. I like to keep on top of things.”
When asked if there are certain types of people who visit his site that should be careful because they might not make a good match, Kreskin had a warning for people who believe they may have been visited by aliens. He said, “It would not be as good a match if someone felt they had been visited by an alien and then they met someone who is interested in mainly telepathic phenomena, where they’re able to perceive thoughts of people that they know at a distance, because one of the areas, the aliens, is somebody else coming into their mind or life. Whether they’re influencing them or controlling them. The other person is not interested in someone coming into their life and controlling them if they’re interested in someone they can communicate with mentally or telepathically or what have you. So one could be a contradiction to the other and it could cause a conflict. I’m not advising people on who to meet and who not to meet. This is part of the excitement of life. But sometimes, I would maybe give them a warning.”
I am not quite sure what he meant there, but perhaps someone who has had an alien experience would. Either way, his dating site is reasonably priced. It is around $15 (US) a month for a Premium membership and $20 for VIP.
I went on the site to see if there are people registered yet, and there seem to be quite a few. Although, some of the users I suspected are not real and seeded there to get things started. For instance, one lady says she has already met people “sexually and socially” on the site, even though it has only been active for a few days. Either she works really fast, or her profile is meant to inspire supernatural daters, or both.
Incidentally, my profile was rejected. It could be because I listed myself as a writer who was just checking out the site, or there could be some larger conspiracy afoot. Fortunately, I am spoken for. I do my supernatural dating at UFO conferences.
ruimtevaartEen jaar lang geen vaste grond onder de voeten. Een jaar lang weg van familie. Een jaar lang leven als een proefkonijn, van experiment naar experiment. Een jaar lang zonder verschil tussen onder en boven. Zo ziet het leven van twee ruimtevaarders er voorlopig uit. De Amerikaan Scott Kelly en de Rus Michail Kornienko gaan als eersten een heel jaar in het internationale ruimtestation ISS wonen. De Rus Padalka vertrekt samen met hen, maar blijft niet voor een jaar.
Kelly en Kornienko vertrekken morgen vanaf ruimtebasis Bajkonoer in Kazachstan. Aan boord van de Sojoez-capsule is ook de Rus Gennadi Padalka. De lancering is om 20.42 uur Belgische tijd. Ongeveer 6 uur later komen de drie aan bij het ISS. Padalka keert in september terug op aarde, Kelly en Kornienko blijven tot maart 2016.
De missie moet duidelijk maken hoe lichaam en geest omgaan met zo'n lange tijd van afzondering in gewichtloosheid. De zwaartekracht is er minimaal, mensen lopen niet maar zweven. Hoe hard ruimtevaarders tijdens de missie ook trainen, hun spieren gaan achteruit en botten beginnen te ontkalken. Ook de ogen worden minder.
Het onderzoek op Kelly, Kornienko en hun opvolgers moet helpen bij de voorbereiding van toekomstige missies. De Verenigde Staten willen volgend decennium weer mensen naar de maan brengen. Dat is een reis van een paar dagen, maar anders dan in het ISS moeten de astronauten op de maan rondlopen. De volgende stap is een missie naar Mars, over enkele tientallen jaren. Dat zou heen en terug minstens anderhalf jaar duren.
Een wereldrecord gaan Kelly en Kornienko overigens niet breken. De Sovjet-Unie en Rusland stuurden in de jaren tachtig en negentig geregeld mensen ongeveer een jaar de ruimte in. Zo woonde de Rus Valeri Poljakov van januari 1994 tot maart 1995 in het ruimtestation Mir, een periode van 437 dagen. Een paar jaar later ging een Rus 380 dagen naar de Mir.
Speciaal detail: Scott Kelly heeft een tweelingbroer, Mark. Hij is ook een astronaut, maar blijft op de aarde zodat NASA een "tweelingexperiment" kan doen. Na de missie zal NASA de broers, met identiek DNA, vergelijken, opnieuw om concrete uitspraken te kunnen doen over de impact van een ruimtereis op het menselijk lichaam.

"Ruimteschepen die met bijna de lichtsnelheid reizen kunnen met de huidige technologie worden waargenomen"
“Ruimteschepen die met bijna de lichtsnelheid reizen kunnen met de huidige technologie worden waargenomen”
Als een buitenaards schip met bijna de lichtsnelheid de aarde nadert kunnen we het met de huidige technologie detecteren, zo zeggen wetenschappers. Hun studie laat ook zien dat reizen in de buurt van de lichtsnelheid niet zonder gevaar is. Bij een botsing met een korreltje stof zou een kracht vrijkomen die gelijk staat aan de ontploffing van 2400 kilogram TNT.
Ingenieurs Ulvi Yurtsever en Steven Wilkinson van defensie-aannemer Raytheon in Californië zeggen dat ruimteschepen bij snelheden rond de lichtsnelheid interacteren met de kosmische achtergrondstraling. Deze microgolfstraling zou kort na het ontstaan van het heelal zijn uitgezonden.
Ruimteschepen die met hoge snelheden door het heelal reizen komen in aanraking met fotonen die deel uitmaken van de kosmische achtergrondstraling, waardoor er hoogenergetische gammastraling ontstaat, citeert MIT Technology Review het tweetal.
De onderzoekers schatten dat elke vierkante centimeter ruimte meer dan 400 micrgolffotonen bevat. Dat zou betekenen dat ruimteschepen iedere seconde in botsing zouden komen met duizenden miljarden fotonen, waarbij elektron-positron paren ontstaan. Deze paren zouden een ruimteschip afremmen.
Als dit soort ‘relativistische’ ruimteschepen door de interstellaire ruimte schieten, laten ze een vingerafdruk achter die met de huidige generatie telescopen te zien moet zijn. Ze worden zo genoemd omdat de relativiteitstheorie van Einstein aan de basis van het idee ligt. Einstein ontdekte dat naarmate voorwerpen versnellen in de ruimte, de snelheid aan welke de tijd voor hen passeert, vertraagt. Dat effect is verwaarloosbaar in bijvoorbeeld vliegtuigen, maar bij ruimtetuigen die rond 98 procent van de lichtsnelheid vliegen is het wel bijzonder sterk.
Eén van de grotere mysteries op aarde is misschien wel het fenomeen van de oranje bollen.
Langzaam en zonder geluid verschijnen ze wereldwijd aan de hemel en niemand weet wat het zijn.
Zo langzamerhand hebben we een aardig dossier met verschijningen van oranje bollen. Iets dat nu al jaren duurt en tot op de dag van vandaag doorgaat.
Enkele voorbeelden:
We ontvingen een aantal mooie foto’s van Patrick van de website Above our Heads, waarop heel duidelijk de bekende oranje bollen te zien zijn.
Ook op andere plaatsen worden ze waargenomen, zoals in de volgende video die eerder deze maand is opgenomen in het Zwitserse Bern.
Ook de volgende opname, gemaakt enkele weken geleden in de Chileense stad Antofagasta, is bijzonder. Je ziet een oranje bol die als het ware boven een hotel gaat hangen.
Wanneer het beeld enigszins wordt uitvergroot, blijkt dat deze oranje bol bestaat uit een soort cluster van kleinere bollen.
Kortom, ze blijven maar komen. En zolang ze dat doen en er geen antwoord is gevonden op de vraag wat het zijn, zullen wij ze blijven publiceren.
A mysterious humanoid UFO was caught in a video footage maneuvering in the skies above the city of Puerto Maldonado in Peru earlier in March. Posted on March 15 by Dr. Anthony Choy, the video has since garnered a number of views.
Choy is an investigative journalist and radio producer as well as the host of Viaje a Otra Dimension radio program. He is also the Peruvian Association of Ufology’s (APU) national coordinator. He is believed to be influential in forcing the Peruvian government to release classified UFO documents.
The UFO in the video is said to be the same with the November 2010 sighting widely known as Flying Humanoid Encounter. The video, recorded by television and radio producer Cesar Rodriguez, shows a flying humanoid with apparent head, torso, arms, and legs. After 5 minutes of sighting, the unusual object simply vanished into the clouds over the city.
The South American skies have been flown by UFOs lately. Just a couple of days ago, a UFO was observed during an evening news in Columbia. Earlier in March, a flying object was caught on cam by a television crew during a TV show.
There have been many UFO sighting reports in the skies of Brazil and Argentina. The latest sightings left many baffled. Since convincing answers are yet to be given, those recent UFOs remain unidentified.
A video that was allegedly shot near the remote Area 51 military installation in the Nevada desert shows what appears to be an unidentified disc-shaped craft being transported on a semi’s trailer.
This one-minute-thirty-five-second video was uploaded to YouTube on March 24 by user TheMrKikiriki with the title, “UFO Being Towed in Nevada near Area 51.” No description accompanies this video. But it clearly shows a convoy of vehicles, including what could be police vehicles, escorting a semi truck hauling a platform trailer. On this trailer is a seemingly exposed aircraft that bears a striking resemblance to a classic flying saucer.

Based on the video’s audio, the individual who recorded the video used his cell phone to capture the moment the convoy passed the gas station where he and another male individual were stopped. And, based on their dialog, they felt it necessary to be discrete with their filming of the unidentified object.
It seems unlikely that the military, or some secret government agency, would transport a secret aircraft, especially an extraterrestrial spacecraft, in the open for anyone to see. Perhaps that unlikeliness would make it the perfect way to transport something so incredible. It’s also possible that the object is simply a fabricated flying saucer created for display purposes at some Nevada business along the Extraterrestrial Highway.
But another likely possibility is that the craft seen in the video is the X-47B unmanned drone aircraft made by Northrop Grumman.

The X-47b made headlines in 2012 when a craft was being transported by truck from West Virginia to Maryland. The craft in that instance was also transported on a platform trailer, packaged with a form-fitting cover. If you look closely at the craft in the recent video, it also appears to have a form-fitting cover.
Although the identification isn’t conclusive, based on the nearly identical appearance of the craft to photos of X-47bs in transit, the object allegedly recorded near Area 51 is likely an X-47b unmanned aircraft and not an alien spacecraft.

Cult sci-fi show The X-Files is to return to TV after a 13-year hiatus.
Cult sci-fi show The X-Files is to return to TV after a 13-year hiatus.
David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson will reprise their roles as FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully for the six-part series.
Original creator Chris Carter will be at the helm when production starts this summer. It is not yet known when it will air on TV.
The show, which ran for nine seasons from 1993-2002, saw Mulder and Scully investigate unsolved mysteries and paranormal cases.
More than 200 episodes of the The X-Files were made, making it one of the longest-running sci-fi series in US network TV history. Two feature films were also made – in 1998 and 2008.
Carter said: “I think of it as a 13-year commercial break.
“The good news is the world has only gotten that much stranger, a perfect time to tell these six stories.” Dana Walden and Gary Newman, of Fox Television Group, said: “We had the privilege of working with Chris on all nine seasons of The X-Files – one of the most rewarding creative experiences of our careers – and we couldn’t be more excited to explore that incredible world with him again.
“The X-Files was not only a seminal show for both the studio and the network, it was a worldwide phenomenon that shaped pop culture – yet remained a true gem for the legions of fans who embraced it from the beginning.
“Few shows on television have drawn such dedicated fans as The X-Files and we’re ecstatic to give them the next thrilling chapter of Mulder and Scully they’ve been waiting for.”
Scientists Discover A New Form Of Ice: It's SQUARE
Scientists Discover A New Form Of Ice: It's SQUARE
March 26, 2015 - Scientists recently observed a form of ice that's never been seen before, after sandwiching water between two layers of an unusual two-dimensional material called graphene.
It's the latest surprise from the lab of a guy who is perhaps best-known for levitating a frog in a magnetic field, even though it's his groundbreaking work with graphene that won him a Nobel Prize.
Graphene is a flat sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a structure that looks like chicken wire. Andre Geim, who is a physicist at the University of Manchester in the U.K., and a colleague were the first to isolate this molecule — using plain old adhesive tape to peel flakes off a chunk of ordinary graphite, the stuff found in pencils.
Graphene has a lot of odd properties, so Geim and his team recently decided to explore how it interacts with water.
They took a sheet of graphene, put a tiny drop of water on it, then laid another sheet of graphene on top. Most of the water was squeezed out, but some got trapped inside. The researchers examined the little pockets of trapped water using a form of microscopy that can reveal the pattern of molecules.
What they saw was that the water molecules were arranged in a lattice of squares.
Geim said that a couple of years ago, they did some theoretical work that suggested they might see square, room temperature ice, though he didn't think they actually would.
"To our own surprise, we found exactly what theory predicted: an ice which is only 1 atom thick," Geim says.
And we know almost nothing about the behavior of water in these tiny, confined spaces, Geim says. "Until recently, we didn't even know that the structure of water would be so different from the structure of conventional ice, when it goes to the nanoscale."
