48 year old Andrea Finney, from Bolton, Lancashire, was enjoying an outdoor family barbeque with her husband Nigel and their son. When all of the sudden the were four UFO’s zooming the skies in front of them, then they saw the UFO being followed by a Fast flying Ministry of Defense helicopter. The Bolton’s say if was the strangest thing they had ever seen in their lives, as they were all left feeling very spooked by this strange UFO encounter, gobsmacked were the exact words used to describe it. The Bolton’s say this was filmed with a regular camera, nothing special, but that doesn’t take away from what they did capture, flying donuts.
Upon seeing the UFOs, she alerted her husband Nigel to get a camera.
The 50-year-old delivery driver said: “I took photos as quick as I could.
“We just could not explain it. They were not hot air balloons. They were not Chinese lanterns. They were just something else.
It left them puzzled.
Mystery: Thefamily could not explain what they had just seen
To those of us wondering when will the Apocalypse take place, we might have an answer. During the last 200 years, Earth’s magnetic field has weakened by 15%. This has led scientists to believe that our planet is undergoing a magnetic pole reversal.
This is a lot scarier than the name suggests as it will permanently affect life as we know it.
The Earth is protected against cosmic rays by its magnetosphere. The magnetosphere is generated by our planet’s molten metallic core. Once every 450,000 years or so, the magnetic North and South poles shift and this process takes anywhere from 1,000 to 10,000 years to complete.
During a magnetic pole reversal, the Earth’s magnetic field is weakened. This process has a severe impact on most life forms. The last geomagnetic reversal occurred 781,000 years ago and scientists believe we are due another in a relatively short period of time. The last time this happened, the magnetic field dropped to around 5% of its current intensity.
All electronic devices would be rendered unusable, effectively sending us back to the Middle Ages. Society as we know it would rapidly crumble.
The weather patterns on Earth would change drastically as storms and hurricanes would increase in intensity and frequency. Freak storms would rage all over.
There are several hypotheses that link magnetic reversals to mass extinctions.
REDDISH SPHERE SPOTTED ABOVE HIGH POWER LINES IN NEW YORK MAY 24, 2014 ………. MASSENA NEW YORK
A New York couple at Massena reported watching two orange-red spheres near power lines as they drove eastbound along Route 131 directly behind the Alcoa Plant and parallel to the St. Lawrence Seaway Shipping Canal, according to testimony in Case 64114 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database. The reporting witness said the day was a high pressure day, no clouds, with no aircraft in sight, and temperature about 60 degrees F. about 8:15 p.m. on May 24, 2014. “I observed a solid looking reddish-orange sphere flying above and along power lines that lead directly into Alcoa,” the reporting witness stated. “They originate at the Robert Moses Power Dam that lies east-northeast of Alcoa by about five and-one-half miles.” The witness noticed the object did not have any lights on it as required for aircraft navigation. “Upon making this observation and bringing it to my wife’s attention I saw the second sphere following the first on the same flight path. I was nearing a section of the highway that didn’t allow any further observation.” The couple continued moving east along Route 131 for approximately 200 yards when they observed a sphere. “I assumed it was the first one, cross Route 131 at right angles to the road and at an elevation of approximately 600 feet. The sphere was larger in diameter due, I assume, to our closer proximity to it. I quickly lost sight of the sphere as trees on the north side of the road blocked our view. I had reached the turn to the south for the Dennison Road and took the turn and stopped.” The couple then saw the second sphere leaving the proximity of the power lines at a right angle and it seemed to follow the same northerly flight path of the first sphere. “Again, due to trees we lost sight of the object. I brought the vehicle back on Route 131, traveling east and sped up to allow us a better view to the north. When we reached an overgrown meadow with shorter trees we saw the first sighted object in a stationary position over the Seaway Shipping Canal. As the second object neared the position of the first sphere, the hovering sphere moved off to the north very quickly.” The witness watched as the first object moved away and could no longer be seen. “The second sphere, upon reaching the recently vacated position of the first object, began hovering, stationary without discernible movement. When the first sighted object was no longer discernible, the second object followed the flight path of the first sighted object until it too was no longer visible.” Massena is a town in St. Lawrence County, New York, population 12,883.
New York is currently a UFO Alert Level 5 – with 0.41 sightings per million population based on MUFON February 2015 statistics. New York received a total of eight UFO reports in February. The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels – 1 through 5 – where states with 4.01 or higher reports per million residents are rated an Alert 1; 3.01 – 4.0 reports are an Alert 2; 2.51 – 3.0 are an Alert 3; 2.01 – 2.5 are an Alert 4; and those states with 2.0 or lower are rated an Alert 5.

Engineer Behind Iranian Saucer Technology Comes Forward
Engineer Behind Iranian Saucer Technology Comes Forward
Nuclear Engineer, Mehran Tavakoli Keshe, has came forward as being the developer of the technology being used in Iran's new "flying saucer." His technology is claimed to harness magnetism and gravity to allow travel throughout the solar system and beyond.
Quadrocopter image shown with Iranianpress release. Flying saucer image shown in earlier press release.
On March 16th, 2011, the hard-line Iranian news agency Fars issued a press release stating Iran had developed a flying saucer. The unmanned saucer named "Zohal" is stated to be equipped with an auto-pilot system, GPS, and an imaging system. It is claimed the craft can fly indoors and outside. Initially, the press release included a stock photo of a flying saucer that was obviously from an old SCIFI movie. This image was later replaced with a picture of what looks like an ordinary quadrocopter. Such an image would tend to indicate there is nothing exotic about the craft.
Now, nuclear Engineer, Mehran Tavakoli Keshe, who we have interviewed and covered here in our news for a couple of years, has came forward and claimed to be the developer of the gravity manipulating technology being used in the Iranian flying saucer – something he divulged to us in the past, prior to the official Iranian announcement.
Mehran Keshe is the director of the Keshe Foundation. He claims to have developed a special plasma reactor that allows for the manipulation of gravitational and magnetic fields to produce motion. Multiple patent applications have been filed for this reactor, and details of it are explained on his foundation's many websites. Importantly, in a recent interview with William Alec of Vortex Network News, Keshe specifically states his technology is incorporated in Iran's new saucer. He also claims to have given the technology to the Iranian government years ago and is actively working with them. This contradicts the idea that the saucer is a kind of multi-turbine helicopter.
Powerful and Affordable Propulsion
This technology sounds too good to be true. It is claimed to allow for both a gravitational and magnetic field to be produced around a craft. The gravitational and magnetic fields are used for propulsion. They work for or against the fields of other bodies in space such as planets, stars, or even galaxies. A device that weighs seven to ten kilograms is claimed to produce many tons of lift. The lifting force is created without the need for any conventional fuels. These devices are very cheap to build. A small reactor costs around one thousand dollars in components.
The benefits of this astounding technology are many fold and address many of the challenges found in space travel. To be blunt, it seems to combine all the best technologies of the fictional Starship Enterprise. For example, the magnetic field produced by the craft protects the occupants from cosmic radiation. Apparently, this field is so intense that small dust particles that would normally destroy a space craft, are simply disassociated on the atomic level. Due to the fact the craft produces its own gravitational field, occupants can walk about normally and will experience the same level of gravity they do on Earth. This would prevent the muscle and bone degradation found when exposed to long periods of zero gravity. Also, the occupants should not feel the inertial effects of sudden acceleration.
If verified this technology could suddenly leap mankind forward to an age of space exploration beyond that of Star Trek. This technology is claimed to offer not only faster than light travel, but almost instant space travel. Theoretically, a craft could travel to the nearest star system (4.2 light years away) in seconds! Of course this technology offers benefits inside of a planetary atmosphere. A craft utilizing this technology would not come into physical contact with air due to the powerful magnetic field around the craft. This would eliminate drag and prevent sonic booms. It is also claimed that the craft would be able to travel underwater without any drag!
Potentially Game Changing Theory of Gravity
The theory behind the reactor and how it produces such forces is potentially revolutionary. Keshe claims that all matter (including protons and electrons) are composed of anti-matter, dark-matter, and normal matter. Gravity is produced by the magnetic fields of these various types of matter interacting with each other. By turning matter into a plasma these different components can be disentangled from each other. Doing so can allow for powerful magnetic and gravitational fields to be created. Also, the same process can be used to produce an unlimited supply of energy. This can be done by simply adding special coils near the spinning plasma.
It would be easy to dismiss this technology as being fantasy, except for the fact that many specific claims have been made. Apparently, work on the propulsion aspect of the technology is complete. They have small units (less than ten kilograms) that can produce tons of lifting force. The first prototype produced so much lift that he had to jump on top of it to stop it from flying too far upwards! This technology has been shared with various nations including the USA, Iran, and Russia. NASA and other space agencies have been given all the information about the technology. It is claimed the technology is now being scaled up, but Keshe states he cannot talk about the details.
The goal of the Keshe Foundation is to open up a university in which students from around the world would spend six years learning about the technology, building systems, and going back to their home country to teach others. This would make sure all nations have access to the technology. By 2015 the foundation also plans to have a full scale craft that would allow tourists to visit the moon.
There are only three options here. Keshe has produced a breakthrough technolology that holds the potential to change our world, he is an absolute liar, or he is delusional. There is nothing in between these possibilities. Either his claims are true or they are not. Tons of lift from a ten kilogram device cannot be a measurement error.
Beyond the Tech of Star Trek
Please let me be clear about my position on the reality of this technology. I very sincerely hope he is telling the truth. In addition, I have no reason to believe he is lying. But the simple extent of this potential breakthrough is almost unfathomable. This technology would overcome every single obstacle to interstellar space travel plus provide an unlimited source of energy. If he is telling the truth, our civilization could soon advance beyond the 24th century.....
There is practically nothing in the world of Star Trek this technology does not also offer.
The critical issue I see is to get verification that his technology is being used in the Iranian flying saucer. We need some sort of official reference, statement, or document directly linking his technology to the craft. I have emailed Keshe a list of questions about his connection to the saucer. The questions I asked are as follows, along with the answers he provided (in red) on April 07, 2011 12:46 AM Mountain time:
1) I believe I heard you say in a recent interview there is a video of your reactor producing lift, but it has not been made public. When do you think it might be made public? This is the decision of the Iranian government.
2) Is there any reference you can provide that would directly link your technology to the technology used in Iran's flying saucer?
We have been Publishing this for two years and I have just returned from Iran in January for 7 day visit, which has been documented on my forum. and we said Iran will show space technology on their own time, ask the Canadian government officials who took all my documents in Toronto from me in the air hijacking, they tell you who and where I was developing In Iran. http://www.keshefoundation.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=249
3) Have you personally seen Iran's flying saucer? If so, where and in what circumstance? I built the initial system for lift and tested for them 2.5 years ago in Iran. Iran up to then was producing rockets and never even talked about spaceship program.
4) Did you supervise the design, construction, and testing of the saucer? If not, who did and how can we get into contact with them?
5) Can you describe the physical and performance characteristics of Iran's saucer? For example...
- What element does it use to produce plasma? basic elements - How large is it? - How much lifting force does it produce? This is not relevant in Magravs positioning systems - What is it's range? to any destination, these systems do not have a rang as propulsion system. - How fast can it fly? speed thousands of times speed of sound in space condition - Is it easily scalable to a larger size? Your scale is field strength dependent - Can it travel to Earth orbit or beyond? Plan is for Mars http://www.keshefoundation.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=270 - What does it look like? A disk
6) Do you have any photos of the saucer? Would you be willing to share such an image to be featured on PESN?
7) Is there any additional information about Iran's saucer you can provide? Watch the Iranian space release. I recon the first landing on Earth display will be in Jerusalem as I have explained before and if you understand the political language of Middel East.

Granbury Tx , pearl st looking N.by N.E. – Saturday March 28th 3:55 ish am At first I thought it might be a falling star but it actually grew in size and intensity ( brighter) then it kind of shattered into pieces of light or fire bits and fell from my sight . It was very, very bright and fiery. Almost like a firework of sorts but definitely not a firework. the whole sighting was about 4 to 7 seconds and I only had a narrow field of sight. So sorry I didn’t get and footage . Just curious if anyone else msaw the same thing.

Taman Sinar Baru, Damai, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia – 28 March 2015 Today just now at 7:28pm in Malaysia time. I saw a bright light exactly like a star without splashing I mean without flashing & fly very smooth & slowly too without any sound engine right far away above beyond the sky farther than where an aeroplane used to fly on the border & its light was yellow bright like light bulb flew above me at my resident at Taman Sinar Baru from the west to the east flying towards the jesselton apartment. This must be UFO. But I do not have enough GB to capture using my iPhone 5s so sorry for that. This object I saw is only one object. or could it be a fiery flying serpent as read from google?

Cobourg, Ontario, Canada – march 25 2015 At around 3:30 am I was outside having a smoke and the sky was clear I always watch the stars when I smoke in the middle of the night. I glanced down for a second and I heard a kind of squeaking noise and when I looked back up I saw about 100 feet or less above me a triangular object quite large compared to the stars it was very dark and it had 3 circular very dim lights one on each angle of the object. it moved fast and flew over the house and it was gone. It had to have been moving fast cause I only saw it for 3- 4 seconds. I got up and ran inside to my fiance to tell him and I was in tears , not sure if I was scared or excited that I couldn’t believe my eyes. I always believed in ufos but have always wanted to see one. I sat outside again for half hour and never saw it again. Thanks

Cape Girardeau, MO – March 11, 2015 I was out filming objects in the sky with my night vision camera. Something came into my peripheral vision and I looked and saw a bright spherical object. I got it in frame as soon as I could and tracked it for 30 seconds or so. It kept about the same distance away but then it seemed to turn away from me, and after a short time it was gone. I posted it on youtube today. Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pV3gAgCTOFY

Apice, Italy – 29 th july 2014
At Apice, a little town near Benevento, 29 th july 2014 a family of three people was chatting at the front door. It was a wilde, nice summer evening. Suddenly, on the hill an ufo appare; it was a bright orange oval horizontally flattened. It was completely stationary to a hundred metres in altitude; after a minute it moved, emitting white spokes and then it suddenly disappeared. At the end, while the witnesses were talking about the ufo sighting, they saw a light ball in the garden near the hause; it was moving through the vegetation few metres from the ground. It was an intermittent ball tennis size. The feared witnesses entered home and when they believed the ball had disappeared in the direction of the valley, it suddenly reappeared closer to garden. Was it a probe released by the mother ufo? Nobody knows! The cats that were usually out wish their owners that night weren’t there. Farm animals were all dumb. An unusual silence. The zones of Apice, Benevento, San Nicola Manfredi, San Giorgio del Sannio and all the places around are really frequented by ufos. A sighting investigated by a C.UFO.M. team, arrived there to clear the situation. It has been an important sighting. In a video on youtube on C.UFO.M.TV at the address https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=ufo+apice it has been posted a videotrailer with a lot of photos and images about sightings in that zone reconstructions and investigations in loco.

Cape Town, South Africa – 01-01-2013 it was just after new year fire works and ppart cloudy,on my way home the driver infront of me lookedup and he forgot to drive and thats wheni looked up, about 50 m above table mountain just above the clouds from the mountain some fire ball hit a force field just like in the movies, the size of the spreading of light gave me the idea that this invisable ufo was big football size big and no,no no it was not a peace a rock hitting the atmosphere 150m above myhead???
A Viewpark man is desperate to know what has caused strange lights to appear in the sky over his house for the last few weeks.
While most people only looked skyward last week to try and see the eclipse James McRobbie, of Windsor Walk, has been fascinated by something else.
He has noticed lights appearing overhead several times at around 10pm for the last three weeks, but has thus far been unable to tell what is causing them.
James showed the Speaker a number of pictures he had taken while watching the lights and while some resemble lightning others are far more twisted and curly.
He said: “I first noticed the lights a few weeks ago and they keep reappearing, but I just can’t work out what they are, I don’t drink so I know I’m not seeing things.
“It’s not lightning and while the lights do sit and hover for several minutes, usually long enough for me to go and get my camera, I don’t think it’s a helicopter as there is no sound of an engine, there is no noise at all.
“I thought at first M&D’s had been putting on some sort of laser show, but the theme park is still closed before the start of the season and actually when it was open for its preview weekend on Saturday and Sunday I didn’t see them.
“The lights are actually too far down from Strathclyde Park to make M&D’s a likely candidate anyway and appear to originate from Uddingston itself
“To me it looks like they are coming from perhaps around where Tunnocks and the cement works are, but I can’t imagine either of them are blasting lasers into the sky unless it’s part of some sort of advertising campaign.
“I am absolutely stumped as to the cause, I expect there is some perfectly simple explanation and hopefully someone will be able to come forward and provide it.
“Who knows maybe they’re extraterrestrial in nature, I am a big fan of War of the Worlds so I know what to do if it is aliens.”

Milky Way Galaxy Contains BILLIONS of Habitable Planets. We are not alone!
Milky Way Galaxy Contains BILLIONS of Habitable Planets. We are not alone!
March 29, 2015- A new study claims that the Milky Way is home to billions of planets positioned at the ‘habitable zone.’
According to the new study based on 151 multi-planetary systems found by NASA’s Kepler space telescope, a lot more planets than thought before are at the right distance for liquid surface water, which is necessary to harbor life.
Steffen Kjær Jacobsen, co-author of the study published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society journal, said:
“We decided to use this method to calculate the potential planetary positions in 151 planetary systems, where the Kepler satellite had found between three and six planets…But we only made calculations for planets where there is a good chance that you can see them with the Kepler satellite.”
If there are billions of habitable planets in the Milky Way, can you imagine how many exist in the Universe that holds billions of Galaxies!
Freedom in the clouds: Russia unveils Flying House project
Freedom in the clouds: Russia unveils Flying House project
March 29, 2015 - Russian designers have presented a visual concept of a state-of-the-art house which they claim will be capable of flying.
A visual concept of a sophisticated new home which will be capable of floating through the air has been showcased by Russian designers, who claim that the house can also be used as a summer cottage and a small airship, media reports said.
The Freedom house, which has first and foremost been designed for so-called citizens of the world, can be installed almost anywhere on our planet — in the woods, at sea, on the coast, in the mountains, and in an urban area, according to Dmitry Ulitin and Anstasiya Taratuta of the design studio Artzona.ru.
The owner of this house will be able to make him or herself at home while soaring through the clouds, a dream that now may finally come true.
However, 'Freedom' comes at a price: the prospective home, which will take at least four years to perfect, will cost at least six million euros.
Freedom is touted as a house that is not tied to any particular place or time. It provides a unique opportunity for its owners to live in any city without spending money on rent. On the other hand, it will help put an owner in a cheerful frame of mind each time he (or she) feels upset.
The house's aerostatic air power is provided with a container of phlegmatized hydrogen, as well as a thermal volume and vertical-horizontal propeller power. The propellers' engines can run both on hydrogen and petrol, and in the parking mode are used as wind generators.

In this acrylic painting, University of Utah astrophysicist Ben Bromley envisions the view of a double sunset from an uninhabited Earthlike planet orbiting a pair of binary stars. In a new study, Bromley and Scott Kenyon of the Smithsonian …more
Luke Skywalker's home in "Star Wars" is the desert planet Tatooine, with twin sunsets because it orbits two stars. So far, only uninhabitable gas-giant planets have been identified circling such binary stars, and many researchers believe rocky planets cannot form there. Now, mathematical simulations show that Earthlike, solid planets such as Tatooine likely exist and may be widespread.
"Tatooine sunsets may be common after all," concludes the study by astrophysicists Ben Bromley of the University of Utah and Scott Kenyon of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory.
"Our main result is that outside a small region near a binary star, [either rocky or gas-giant] planet formation can proceed in much the same was as around a single star," they write. "In our scenario, planets are as prevalent around binaries as around single stars."
The study has been submitted to Astrophysical Journal for review, but as is the custom in the field, the authors have posted the unreviewed paper on the scientific preprint website ArXiv.
With Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens due to hit movie screens Dec. 18, fans of the epic series may be cheered at the possible reality of planets like Tatooine, home planet of both Luke and Anakin Skywalker, meeting place of Obi Wan Kenobi and Han Solo and the domain ruled (until his death in battle) by crime lord Jabba the Hutt. Luke stares at Tatooine's double suns setting in a classic film moment.
The title of the new study is "Planet formation around binary stars: Tatooine made easy," but the paper looks anything but easy: it is filled with mathematical formulas describing how binary stars can be orbited by planetesimals – asteroid-sized rocks that clump together to form planets.
"We took our sweet numerical time to show that the ride around a pair of stars can be just as smooth as around one," when it comes to the early steps of planet formation, Bromley says. "The 'made easy' part is really saying the same recipe that works around the sun will work around Tatooine's host stars."
The study was funded by NASA's Outer Planets Program and was a spinoff of Bromley's and Kenyon's research into how dwarf planet Pluto and its major moon, Charon, act like a binary system. Both are orbited by four other moons.
'Planets form like dust bunnies'
From a swirling disk of gas and dust surrounding a young star, "planets form like dust bunnies under your bed, glomming together to make larger and larger objects," says Kenyon, whose observatory is part of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. "When planets form around a binary, the binary scrambles up the dust bunnies unless they are on just the right orbit."
University of Utah astrophysicist Ben Bromley used acrylics to paint this depiction of a double sunset from an inhabited Earthlike planet orbiting a pair of binary stars. To date, only gas giant planets like Saturn have been found orbiting …more
Scientists call that a "most circular orbit," which in reality is a not-quite-circular, oval-shaped orbit in which the entire oval has numerous little waves in it, Bromley says.
"It's an oval with ripples," which are caused by the cyclic tugging of the two central stars, he adds.
"For over a decade, astrophysicists believed that planets like Earth could not form around most binary stars, at least not close enough to support life," he says. "The problem is that planetesimals need to merge gently together to grow. Around a single star, planetesimals tend to follow circular paths – concentric rings that do not cross. If planetesimals do approach each other, they can merge together gently."
But if planetesimals orbit a pair of stars, "their paths get mixed up by the to-and-fro pull of the binary stars," Bromley says. "Their orbits can get so tangled that they cross each other's paths at high speeds, dooming them to destructive collisions, not growth."
Previous research started with circular orbits when pondering planet formation around binary stars, Bromley says, while the new study shows that "planets, when they are small, will naturally seek these oval orbits and never start off on circular ones. … If the planetesimals are in an oval-shaped orbit instead of a circle, their orbits can be nested and they won't bash into each other. They can find orbits where planets can form."
In their study, Bromley and Kenyon showed mathematically and by simple computer simulations that rocky, Earth-sized planets can form around binary stars if they have the oval "most circular" orbit. They didn't conduct their simulations to the point of planet formation, but showed that planetesimals could survive without collisions for tens of thousands of years in concentric, oval-shaped orbits around binary stars.
"We are saying you can set the stage to make these things," Bromley says. "It is just as easy to make an Earthlike planet around a binary star as it is around a single star like our sun. So we think that Tatooines may be common in the universe."
Kepler and worlds discovered
NASA's Kepler space telescope has discovered more than 1,000 planets orbiting other stars, including some rocky planets in the so-called habitable zone neither too near and hot, nor too far and cold from the star they each orbit.
So far, Kepler has found seven planets orbiting within or near the habitable zone around binary stars, but all of them are giant gaseous planets, Bromley says.
"The planets that Kepler has discovered so far around binary stars are larger, Neptune- or Jupiter-sized gas giants," he says. "None of those found so far are small and rocky like our Earth – or like Tatooine in 'Star Wars.'"
Bromley believes Kepler hasn't yet spotted Earthlike planets around binary stars because they are small compared with gas giants, "so it's a hard measurement."
While Kepler has found other gas giants farther from binary stars, there has been debate about how the seven in the habitable zone got where they are.
The new study shows it is possible they formed in place from gas and dust – something "everyone else says is impossible," Bromley says. He also doubts it because there doesn't appear to have been enough gas and dust for gas giants Kepler has spotted near binaries to have formed in place. The study also showed that the gas and dust could have moved in from elsewhere so the gas giants could form where they now are seen.
The prevailing theories contend the gas giants discovered by the Kepler spacecraft must have formed farther out in a cooler, calmer part of space and then migrated closer to the binary stars, either by spiraling inward though a disk of gas surrounding the binary pair, or by being hurled in by the gravity of another more distant gas-giant planet.
But "an Earthlike Tatooine would have no problem forming right where it needs to be to host life," Bromley says.
The field of Ufology is vast. Vast in the sense that there is so much history to understand before you can truly understand where we are now. The UFO is an enigma. The current state of events is built upon all the people who come before us. The study of UFOlogy is the study of the strange, weird, and truly bizarre. It is hard for new people to Ufology to know what to believe and where to start. We must not forget history as it is the ashes in which we climb from today.
There are pivotal events that have occurred over the past 70 years of modern Ufology that need to be known. Our video series (Classic Moments In Ufology) strives to preserve and update the existing media for a new generation of Ufologists.
In this our fifth episode you will hear the legendary Kenneth Arnold interview tape. The Arnold case was arguably the first modern case of a UFO sighting . It launched the modern field of UFology we have today. To truly understand this case you must hear his first hand account of this historic event.

2 Earth-like planets could be hiding close to our solar system
2 Earth-like planets could be hiding close to our solar system
Two Earth-like planets could be orbiting a star in Alpha Centauri, our closest solar system.
The mystery worlds are thought to be much too hot to support life, with surface temperatures of around 1,500...C.
But astronomers say they could be part of a more extensive solar system containing watery worlds like our own 4.3 light years away.
The first planet, dubbed Alpha Centauri Bb, was discovered in 2012, but quickly dismissed by scientists who believed it had been a false alarm.
Now a team of astronomers, led by Cambridge University, has taken a second look at the evidence.
'If you ask anyone working in exoplanets, they would all have a different opinion about the existence of Alpha Centauri Bb,' Brice-Oliver Demory of the University of Cambridge told the New Scientist.
The original method of looking for the planet was based on measuring tiny wobbles in the motion of Alpha Centauri B caused by a gravitational tug of war with the orbiting planet. The latest study has combined that data with Hubble's technique of looking for a dip in the light from Alpha Centauri B caused by the planet passing in from of the star.
The team observed Alpha Centauri B in 2013 and 2014, for a total of 40 hours.
The 2013 data showed signs of a transit, but they were longer than expected. But the signal disappeared completely in the 2014 data set. According to the New Scientist, the researchers say that doesn't mean the planet isn't there, just that it is difficult to be seen from Earth.
They believe the signal in the 2013 data may be another Earth-sized planet in that solar system with a year lasting around 20.4 days.
This discovery suggests there is a chance of other planets in the same solar system, which may have conditions in which life could thrive.
Russian Navy UFO records say aliens love the ocean
Russian Navy UFO records say aliens love the ocean
The Russian navy has declassified its records of encounters with unidentified objects technologically surpassing anything humanity ever built, reports Svobodnaya Pressa news website.
The records dating back to soviet times were compiled by a special navy group collecting reports of unexplained incidents delivered by submarines and military ships. The group was headed by deputy Navy commander Admiral Nikolay Smirnov, and the documents reveal numerous cases of possible UFO encounters, the website says. Vladimir Azhazha, former navy officer and a famous Russian UFO researcher, says the materials are of great value.
“Fifty percent of UFO encounters are connected with oceans. Fifteen more – with lakes. So UFOs tend to stick to the water,” he said.
On one occasion a nuclear submarine, which was on a combat mission in the Pacific Ocean, detected six unknown objects. After the crew failed to leave behind their pursuers by maneuvering, the captain ordered to surface. The objects followed suit, took to the air, and flew away.
Many mysterious events happened in the region of Bermuda Triangle, recalls retired submarine commander Rear Admiral Yury Beketov. Instruments malfunctioned with no apparent reason or detected strong interference. The former navy officer says this could be deliberate disruption by UFOs.
Vladimir Kremlev to RT-
“On several occasions the instruments gave reading of material objects moving at incredible speed. Calculations showed speeds of about 230 knots, of 400 kph. Speeding so fast is a challenge even on the surface. But water resistance is much higher. It was like the objects defied the laws of physics. There’s only one explanation: the creatures who built them far surpass us in development,” Beketov said.
Navy intelligence veteran, Captain 1st rank Igor Barklay comments:
“Ocean UFOs often show up wherever our or NATO’s fleets concentrate. Near Bahamas, Bermudas, Puerto Rico. They are most often seen in the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean, in the southern part of the Bermuda Triangle, and also in the Caribbean Sea.”
Another place where people often report UFO encounters is Russia’s Lake Baikal, the deepest fresh water body in the world. Fishermen tell of powerful lights coming from the deep and objects flying up from the water.
In one case in 1982 a group of military divers training at Baikal spotted a group of humanoid creatures dressed in silvery suits. The encounter happened at a depth of 50 meters, and the divers tried to catch the strangers. Three of the seven men died, while four others were severely injured.

Stanton Friedman Chimes in On Alleged Roswell Alien Slides and His Declination to Participate in Upcoming Show
Stanton Friedman Chimes in On Alleged Roswell Alien Slides and His Declination to Participate in Upcoming Show
By Stanton T. Friedman The UFO Chronicles 3-29-15
"I could find no convincing information that there is any connection between the slides and Roswell."
I keep being asked my views about the so-called “Roswell” Slides. So, let me summarize my position. I have tried to obtain as much information as possible and responded with interest when at the International UFO Congress in Scottsdale, Arizona, in Mid-February, I was interviewed by journalist Jaime Maussan of Mexico City who has arranged for a huge event focused on the slides. I recall the so called Roswell Autopsy which turned out to be a fiasco. I had spoken with Ray Santilli over the phone, checked on a number of his claims which turned out to be false, met with him twice in England and even had some comments distributed at his big press conference.
Jaime invited me to attend the May 5, Mexico City, conference as had Don Schmitt. My expenses would be paid. My first thought was that since I would be asked about my views, as the original civilian investigator of the Roswell crashed saucer event, it would be nice to have first hand information. This being the worst winter in our 35 years in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, it would also be nice to get to some warm weather. So I read as much as I could, positive and negative. I have not held copies of the slides. I could find no convincing information that there is any connection between the slides and Roswell. How would an outsider gain access to the real bodies? I worked under security for 14 years and have been to classified facilities in New Mexico. The barriers are tough. I have seen no specific data to convince me that these are phony. But that doesn’t establish a connection with Roswell events. Yes, I am still convinced that alien spacecraft with bodies on board crashed near Corona, in the Plains of San Augustin, and near Aztec. But I don’t want to appear to add legitimacy by my presence in Mexico City in the absence of serious evidence of the slides being what is being claimed they are. Absence of evidence is NOT evidence of absence and I have a large “gray” basket.
“It was around four or five in the afternoon on a spring day. I was working, cutting grass at the farm, and my position afforded me a good look of the surroundings, as the house is higher than the rest of the property, being located on a small hill. I looked at the sky and was able to see an object that drew my attention. It was a sort of very large sphere, like the size of an average car, and it appeared to be surrounded by some sort of steam or smoke…”
After much hearsay and a bit of news appearing in the media, members of the Red Nacional de Corresponsales – a UFO research center – visited Alcalá de Guadaira, specifically the area known as “la Lapa” and its surroundings. Repeated questioning led them to get in touch with the ranger of the Rogelio Farm, located in the community.
A small property surrounded by orchards which allow for a dairy farm to be maintained. A flat surface with low vegetation, some eucalyptus trees and pines. Sedimentary rocks are found in the vicinity and chalky, compacted sand. At this location, a fifty-five-year old man, father to a numerous family – three boys and a girl – with no other livelihood than his work and without time to waste on far-fetched scientific notions, recalls how one spring day, while working, he saw an object that caught his eye.
“The object was some 200 meters over the ground and some 300 meters over me. I watched it for about five seconds. I wanted to call my wife and daughter, who were the two ones at home, to come out and see, but the minute they arrived, and I turned my head, the object had vanished. I ran to get a better vantage point, but no use. There wasn't a trace left.”
There is no further information, no exact dates are provided, but there is something strange in the air. The investigation is ongoing, questions are asked here and there – some time having elapsed from the original sighting – but there is an item that begins to clarify things, bolstering the underlying storyline…
Leopoldina Becerra, at five thirty in the afternoon on 19 April 1976, went to purchase milk at the Rogelio Farm. She was accompanied by a cousin. Leopoldina, an uneducated woman, remembers the events…
“My cousin and I went to the Rogelio Farm to buy milk, as we often did. It would have been five thirty in the afternoon. We saw something odd in a bend on the road: something seemed to be on fire on top of a dung heap near the farm wall. At first we thought it might be the dung heap itself, because a lot of smoke seemed to come out of the ground, but it wasn't the case. We saw an egg-shaped object, dark in color, suspended in the air, about a meter from the ground. I alerted my cousin, a much more educated and learned person than myself, and she said that thing could be a UFO. The object was some fifty meters away from us. We broke into a run and were truly scared, thinking that the object would head our way at some point. As we ran, we fell and screamed, since the ground is very rough in that area. One of the ranger's children came out to help us. What happened, he asked. We pointed toward where the object was, telling the boy to look at the sky, that something strange had come out of the dung heap. When he looked, there was nothing to be seen, but I'm sure there was something there.”
There is a close relationship between some statements and others. These are two other direct witnesses to the case, and a long time has elapsed from when the event took place to the investigation. Neither woman wants any publicity. “Because, you know, some people do not believe in these things, and in a village, well, you understand…” and they are completely uninterested in the UFO phenomenon, having never found themselves in a similar situation.
The members of the Red Nacional de Corresponsales managed to contact two more witnesses who appear to be connected, but this pair refuses to make any comment whatsoever, while the ranger at the Rogelio Farm and Leopoldina Becerra remember the event vividly. On that spring afternoon, specifically on 19 April 1976, an unidentified flying object landed in Alcalá. One witness saw it at an altitude of two hundred meters; another witness saw it fifty meters away, suspended a meter off the ground. It was an egg-shaped object that issued smoke, and was dark in color…

[NOTE: In his landmark The Mothman Prophecies (NY: Signet, 1975) John A. Keel mentions the persistent connection between unidentified objects and "dirty" places much like the dung heap on the Rogelio Farm. "In early times," wrote Keel, "fairies, demons and even human witches practicing their Black Sabbath rites, chose gravel pits, garbage dumps, cemeteries and crossroads for their appearances. Modern hairy monsters and UFOs select the same sites..." An aspect to be taken into consideration in this case? -- SC]
