‘Virtually all pilots believe in UFOs’: Veteran who flew Obama’s
A veteran pilot, who flew President Obama's campaign plane, has revealed that he has seen a UFO flying through the sky.
Andrew Danziger claimed that virtually all airmen believe in unidentified flying objects and that he had his own close encounter in the cockpit between Kansas and Iowa in April 1989.
The aircraft captain said the UFO initially appeared as a white disc before changing into a 'giant red ball.'
The aviator, who has 28 years of cockpit experience, said the alien aircraft glowed bright red for around 30 seconds before disappearing below the clouds, according to the New York Daily News.
Veteran airman Andrew Danziger claims to have seen a UFO
Mr Danziger recalled that his plane had left Kansas City International Airport and reached the cruising altitude of 15,000 feet when he first saw a 'white disc' clearly visible through the clouds.
He explained that the Captain of the aircraft, named only as Bruce, also spotted the foreign object that appeared similar to the moon.
Despite, both of the men having a number of years of experience behind them they could not identify the mystery gizmo that was visible for around 40 minutes.
As the pair began their decent into Waterloo, Iowa, Mr Danziger said the UFO suddenly changed colour.
'I yelled to Bruce, "Holy s***," he told the newspaper.
'Above the clouds, where the white disc had been, was a now giant red ball.'
He said the bright disc appeared to hover above the clouds
Mr Danziger, who flew Barack Obama during his 2008 election campaign, recalled the object flying in the same direction as his aircraft for around 30 seconds before it vanished like the 'setting sun.'
The experienced airman said most pilots have reported similar sightings (file picture)
A series of flashing lights were then visible through the clouds, according to the pilot who has flown Boeing aircraft.
The men later informed the National UFO Report Centre of the sighting and it was stressed to the pair that countless pilots have witnessed similar objects in the sky.
'While neither of us had any idea what we had saw one thing we were certain of, it wasn't from here,' the North American Airlines captain told the New York Daily News.
'I'm not going too far out on a ledge to say that virtually all pilots believe in UFOs.'
When I wrote my book about officially documented UFO reports, I fully expected the skeptics to react. That’s why I was careful to focus only on the very best evidence from the most credible sources in "UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go on the Record." Since 95 percent of all sightings are eventually identified, the book is concerned only with the remaining 5 percent — those UFO events that have been thoroughly investigated, involve multiple witnesses and ample data, but still cannot be explained.
That didn’t stop James Oberg, a space analyst for NBC News, from complaining that the book was based on a “questionable foundation.”
Charles Miller
Leslie Kean is the author of "UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go on the Record."
In the biographical note appended to his commentary, he notes that he spent 22 years at NASA’s Mission Control and has written books about space policy and exploration. But he neglects to inform readers of something UFO researchers already know all too well: that he is a founding fellow of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry (CSI, formerly CSICOP), a group whose aim is to debunk UFOs and any other unexplained phenomena that challenge our familiar ways of thinking.
For many years, Oberg, while retaining his stance as an objective student of the UFO phenomenon, has been a consistently vocal skeptic. His long list of articles dealing with UFOs date from the 1970s and are posted on his website under the heading "space folklore," which accurately sums up his attitude towards the subject. He may be qualified to serve as an unbiased, expert consultant on Russian or Chinese missile systems, but not on UFOs.
In "UFOs," Leslie Kean calls for more serious investigation of unsolved UFO reports.
His objection to my many varied cases has to do with his notion that pilots are poor observers. To buttress this idea, he quotes J. Allen Hynek referring to questionable statistics compiled in the 1960s by Project Blue Book. He also cites Russian researchers describing two events in 1982 when pilot sightings were accurately identified as "military balloons" after the fact.
This is not surprising, since the vast majority of sightings can be explained, and this kind of identification is made all the time. However, such solved sightings — whether made by pilots or anyone else — have absolutely nothing to do with the cases presented in my book.
I wonder if Oberg gave "UFOs" a careful read. He spent many paragraphs quoting me concerning a report on aviation cases by French researcher Dominique Weinstein. The problem is, those are not my quotes. The chapter from which he extracted them was written by Jean-Jacques Velasco, head of the French government‘s UFO agency for over 20 years, as is obvious in his byline and narrative about French research.
Oberg gleefully proclaims that I have “faithfully vouched for” the cases in Weinstein's list, but actually, I have respectfully allowed Velasco to write his own chapter. (About half the chapters in my book were written by highly credentialed authorities and expert witnesses.) If Oberg wants to discuss the Weinstein study, he'll have to contact Velasco.
Cosmic Log: The UFO debate usually focuses on reports that are many years old — but strange things are still being seen in the sky, by folks just like you.
Oberg’s fixation on the question of the reliability of pilots as witnesses is not raised by the generals and aviation experts I have interviewed — officials who have studied pilot cases and interviewed pilot witnesses for decades. As described in "UFOs," French Air Force Maj. Gen. Denis Letty initiated an extensive study of UFO data because competent pilots he knew personally were confronted by the phenomenon. Chilean Gen. Ricardo Bermudez was instrumental in the founding of his country‘s official UFO investigative agency in 1997 because of inexplicable sightings involving pilots.
Richard Haines, who has written more than 70 papers in leading scientific journals and published more than 25 U.S. government reports for NASA, was formerly chief of the space agency's Space Human Factors Office and served for 21 years as a retired senior aerospace scientist at NASA's Ames Research Center. Having studied pilot sightings and related aviation safety issues for more than 30 years, and having personally interviewed hundreds of pilots during that time, Haines has concluded that pilots are indeed excellent witnesses, given their thorough training, expertise and hours of flying time.
Most importantly, the aerial cases documented in "UFOs" — and many more on the record elsewhere — involve multiple factors such as:
Sightings of long duration, allowing for accurate voice transmissions and the refinement of the initial identification.
Multiple witnesses — co-pilot, crew, passengers, other aircraft in different locations, and occasionally observers from the ground.
Onboard radar and ground radar recording the presence of a physical object, often corresponding exactly to the visual sighting.
Direct physical effects on the aircraft, such as equipment malfunction.
Taken by farmer Paul Trent with his wife in 1950, this classic picture from McMinnville, Ore., is among the most thoroughly analyzed images in UFO history.
As an example, Brig. Gen. Jose Periera of Brazil, commander of air force operations until 2005, reports on an "array of UFOs" observed over his country in 1986. Two pilots chased one of the objects for 30 minutes. Numerous other pilots saw the objects. Radar recorded them. Six jets were scrambled from two Brazilian air force bases to pursue them. Some of the pilots made visual contact corresponding to radar registrations. Both military and commercial pilots were involved. Onboard as well as ground radar systems confirmed the presence of the objects.
“We have the correlation of independent readings from different sources,” Periera writes. “These data have nothing to do with human eyes. When, along with the radar, a pilot‘s pair of eyes sees that same thing, and then another pilot‘s, and so on, the incident has real credibility and stands on a solid foundation.”
In 2007, airline captain Ray Bowyer saw two gigantic, bright yellow objects suspended over the English Channel, which he observed carefully for 15 minutes. His passengers saw them, another pilot on a second aircraft was also a witness, and an object was registered on radar.
Most popular
In 1986, three Japan Airlines pilots watched a series of UFOs for 30 minutes, communicating with air traffic control while radar operators picked up the objects in corresponding locations.
I could go on with many more examples, presented in detail in the book.
Oberg says pilots may misinterpret visual phenomena when forced to make a split-second diagnosis before taking immediate action — very rare cases, I would assume — and no one would disagree with that. But, just as was the case with the solved Russian sightings I discussed earlier, this is entirely beside the point with respect to my book, because the cases presented do not involve such a scenario.
In addition, "UFOs: General, Pilots and Government Officials Go on the Record" presents many other cases that do not involve pilots at all — but often military personnel and police officers — including:
The famous 1980 incident near RAF Bentwaters in Britain, involving the landing of a UFO and objects sending beams of light to the ground.
The 1981 "Trans-en-Provence" landing case in France, investigated by the official French agency GEPAN.
Belgian Maj. Gen. Wilfried De Brouwer‘s report on the wave of sightings in Belgium in 1989-90, which includes a spectacular photograph.
The 1993 "Cosford Incident" involving a UFO over two Air Force bases in Britain, investigated by the Ministry of Defense.
The 1997 Phoenix Lights incident that former Arizona Gov. Fife Symington described.

This picture of a black triangle with lights underneath was taken in Petit-Rechain, Belgium, in 1990.
These are just a few of a host of cases with abundant data that don't rely on pilot observations — and which are still unsolved. It‘s the aggregate of cases, the accumulation of evidence and the long-running but unsuccessful attempts of qualified experts to resolve them that establishes the reality of a yet-unexplained physical phenomenon with extraordinary capabilities.
Oberg says that "if investigators are unable to find the explanation for a particular UFO case, that doesn't constitute proof that the case is unexplainable.” Fair enough. Perhaps there is some prosaic explanation still to be discovered. There‘s always that possibility, no matter how small.
But we remain in a state of ignorance concerning UFOs, leaving us with the conclusion presented in the book: We need a systematic, scientific investigation of the skies that actively looks for these mysterious and elusive objects. In the meantime, all I ask is that devout skeptics like Oberg read the entire book before raising objections that actually have no bearing on the matter at hand.

Video – By 2025 Signs of Alien Life Will Be Found, NASA’s Chief Scientist Predicts
A high-ranking NASA researcher says evidence that life exist on other planets is certain to be found, and it’ll happen relatively soon. NASA’s search for alien life has turned up a lot of potential hosts, but so far no definitive proof that thriving forms are out there has surfaced.
According to one space researcher, the elusive evidence that they exist is certain to be found, and it’ll happen relatively soon.
Ellen Stofan, a chief scientist for the agency, announced that she believes the discovery will occur in the coming decades.
Strong evidence will likely emerge in about 10 years and within 20 to 30, the findings will provide certainty.
What’s found won’t likely be of the highly functioning, UFO flying sort that can regale us with stories of what it’s like to live in a far-flung solar system, though.
It’ll probably be microbes that live on planets floating around in our own galaxy and possibly those that circle the same sun we do.
Stofan’s prediction, one that’s shared by a number of her colleagues, is based on recent information gathered concerning the existence of water on planets and moons nearby.
Advancements in the ability to perform the requisite research are also cited as being a significant source of optimism.

Daytime photos of a bright ring over New Ellenton, South Carolina 8-Apr-2015
These two photos were submitted to MUFON today. They are showing a bright circle-shaped object in the sky above New Ellenton in South Carolina
Witness report:I was photographing clouds with my cell phone. In between layers of cloud was what I thought a star until I went inside and zoomed in. The circle with a hole on the center was clearly not a star. I was in front of my house in New Ellenton, S. C. In Aiken County. I enjoy photographing the sky, stars moon and clouds. But I have never seen this before.
WEIRD ALIEN CLOSE ENCOUNTER IN OHIO MARCH 10, 2015 ………… TALLMADGE OHIO
It was around 3 or 4 a.m. when I left my cousins house. I live right down the road from her so I walk home very late feeling quite safe most times. I was walking in the street when I approached my house so I cross to the sidewalk and at this point I have full view of my backyard which is always pitch black. I live on the edge of a small forest. Neighbors aren’t very close and I have nothing in my backyard except trees. Occasionally deer will wander there but they are dark brown and can clearly see them at night and what they look like. As I was saying, when I crossed to the sidewalk I was around 30-40 feet from my front door.
Usually I cross the lawn, walk up the steps, go in. I reach the side walk and I see something white in the backyard. It was probably 100 ft away. I stopped on the sidewalk to look more intently. It didn’t appear to be touching the ground and it was bright enough for me to notice. We have no animals in the neighborhood that are white. Ive never witnessed this before and I knew it wasn’t an animal. What I saw in my backyard was round and bright and didn’t appear to be touching the ground. This of course petrified me and I started walking faster to my lawn, as I moved the object seemed to move as well. I only stared at it for a total of 4-5 seconds before I wanted to get inside. It did appear to move slightly towards my direction but only when I started walking again did it move more swiftly. I’d say it moved at 6 ft per second. I got inside my house and quickly turned all the lights on. I have to say I wasn’t brave enough to look outside again. I felt I may have been confronted by it. I also want to add I know that I do not have any evidence towards my story and that it is just my word and first hand encounter but I have not seen the white object since. P.S. I was on no substance that would hinder my perceptions and I was not tired because I had slept that day till 6pm. I feel very confident that this was some sort of “alien” because I’ve had multiple inexplicable things that have happened to me. None included an encounter with something like this but I’ve been uneasy since these things have started. Hopefully I am not alone in my area and it will be looked into in some way. It’s comforting to know I am not alone though.
You may have noticed in your local news a story about how many UFO sightings are in your state or county. These stories have been popping up all over the world due to a new UFO sighting map created by a company called FindTheBest.
The detailed interactive map shows UFO sightings reports down to the county level, and color codes areas based off of the number of reports. FindTheBest has done a great job getting the word out about their map, because stories are popping up all over the place with local news stories giving details about the number of sightings in their respective states and counties.

FindTheBest is a California-based company that collects data and provides an easy to use interactive interface to examine the data in many different ways. Lee Speigel of TheHuffington Post’s Weird News, interviewed FindTheBest Product Manager Lane Allison to find out more about their popular map.
“We downloaded UFO sightings from the National UFO Reporting Center and took all of the locations and tried to standardize them,” said Allison.
The National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) is a website that has been collecting UFO sighting reports since 1994. It is a one man show ran by Peter Davenport in Washington state. According to The Huffington Post, FindTheBest “culled information from over 61,000 reports, narrowing it down to nearly 39,000 reports from which they created their map visualization.”
“After we got latitude and longitude pairs, we could determine the number of UFO sightings that have been reported in counties. Then, we cross-referenced that with the American Community Survey population estimates of those counties, resulting in UFO reports per capita number,” Allison told The Huffington Post.
She continued, “What we learned through our research is that, in fact, most UFO sightings aren’t actually reported, and between 98-99 percent of those that are reported can be explained by natural phenomena, whether by shooting stars or even a flock of birds. So we wanted to give more of a per capita [per person] number, which is why we created the per capita statistics.”
Speigel asked Davenport about the issue of determining whether a UFO report constitutes something that is truly mysterious. He said, “It’s impossible for me or any other UFO investigator to separate the incoming cases into definitely UFOs or definitely not UFOs. I would say 60 to 80 percent are cases where all you have is a question mark after you’ve read the case. Was it a UFO or was it a seagull?”
As for hoaxes, Davenport says, “We have almost 108,000 cases in our database, and approximately 10,000 of those have not been posted on the website because they’ve been determined as most likely hoaxes and they don’t really contribute to the field of Ufology at all.”
Another map that has been getting a lot of attention is a map that chose to display NUFORC sighting reports in another way. Christian Pearson posted a map on his blog QuantBait he created using a program called CartoDB. CartoDB allows you to take data and create interactive maps.
Pearson’s map was different, and really cool, because it played like a video, showing people where UFO sightings have been reported since 1933. The map starts out zoomed in on the U.S., but like a Google map, you can zoom out and drag the map to look at other parts of the world.
Little dots showed up and expand, kind of like little explosions, to highlight where sightings have taken place. It is a dramatic way to show just how frequent UFO sightings occur all over the world. At one point, the whole screen is lit up.
Watching this video can definitely give you the impression a UFO invasion is at hand. However, while I was writing this story in fact, Pearson seems to have changed the map to show all sightings at once. I hope he brings back the animated feature. It was really neat.
Another cool UFO map, that is not getting much attention this week, but is equally as cool, is the UFO Stalker. This map uses Google Maps, and focuses on UFO sightings reported to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), the largest civilian UFO investigation organization in the U.S. They have certified investigators all over the country, and a few in other countries as well.
As soon as a sighting is submitted to their website, it shows up on the UFO Stalker map. They even have a twitter feed, so you can be informed immediately anytime a UFO is reported. If you do want to follow reports to the second, be prepared to be swamped. MUFON receives around 600 or so UFO reports a month.
These maps are all really exciting and fun. No wonder they are getting so much attention. I am sure they are also demonstrating to the general public that there are many more UFO sightings being reported than they may have thought. And to think, as Allison pointed out, these maps are likely only showing a fraction of the UFO sightings that are actually being observed.
Have you had a UFO sighting? If so, did you report it? Shame on you! Next time, be sure to report to NUFORC, MUFON, and you can send it to us, or post it in the comments below. That way you can get your sighting on these cool mapstoo!
Witness report: My wife is a amateur photographer. She was at the wind and sea beach in La Jolla CA taking sunset pictures. My wife was taking these pictures on March 31, 2015.
I thought it was odd that the lights and image did not move during the exposure. My wife took three pictures of the seen over a 10 min time period.
These 3 photos are very clear. She used a Cannon D70 camera on a tripod with remote.
I am not sure these are UFO pictures but the object appears to move very slow and also seems to be rotating by the way the lights have changed position from the three pictures. MUFON case 64526.

Hans Glaser woodcut from 1566 of the 1561 event over Nuremberg. (Wickiana Collection, Zurich Central Library)
At sunrise on the 14th April 1561, the citizens of Nuremberg beheld “A very frightful spectacle.” The sky appeared to fill with cylindrical objects from which red, black, orange and blue white disks and globes emerged.
Crosses and tubes resembling cannon barrels also appeared whereupon the objects promptly ‘began to fight one another.’ This event is depicted in a famous 16th century woodcut by Hans Glaser.
Below are descriptions of the event from various sources: —--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At dawn of April 4, in the sky of Nuremberg (Germany), a lot of men and women saw a very alarming spectacle where various objects were involved, including balls “approximately 3 in the length, from time to time, four in a square, much remained insulated, and between these balls, one saw a number of crosses with the color of blood. Then one saw two large pipes, in which small and large pipes, were 3 balls, also four or more. All these elements started to fight one against the other.” (Gazette of the town of Nuremberg).
The events lasted one hour and had such repercussions that an artist, Hans Glaser, drew a woodcut of it at the time. It describes two immense black cylinders launching many blue and black spheres, blood red crosses, and flying discs. They seem to fight a battle in the sky, it also seems that some of these spheres and objects have crashed outside the city. (UFOs at Close Sight – Ufologie.net)
Today in Odd History, an eerie battle raged in the skies above Nuremberg, Germany. It began at dawn, as dozens, if not hundreds, of crosses, globes and tubes fought each other above the city. It ended an hour later, when “the globes in the small and large rods flew into the sun,” and several of the other objects crashed to earth and vanished in a thick cloud of smoke.
According to the Nuremberg Gazette, the “dreadful apparition” filled the morning sky with “cylindrical shapes from which emerged black, red, orange and blue-white spheres that darted about.” Between the spheres, there were “crosses with the color of blood.” This “frightful spectacle”was witnessed by “numerous men and women.” Afterwards, a “black, spear-like object” appeared. The author of the Gazette warned that “the God-fearing will by no means discard these signs, but will take it to heart as a warning of their merciful Father in heaven, will mend their lives and faithfully beg God, that he avert His wrath, including the well-deserved punishment, on us, so that we may, temporarily here and perpetually there, live as His children.” In the same year, a Lutheran clergyman on progress in Nuremberg wrote: “…God the Almighty has … placed in the heavens many horrible and hitherto unheard of signs… We have seen far more signs now than in any other year. The sun and the moon have been darkened on a number of occasions. A crucifix in the sky was seen, as were biers and coffins with black men beside them. Further, rods and whips and many other signs were seen in a multitude of places… and scarcely a year has passed of late without an eclipse of the sun or moon…”(News of the Odd)
Nuremberg, Germany. April 14th 1561. The Hans Glaser wood-cut from 1566, 5 years after the event and in the same year as the Basle report.
At sunrise on the 14th April 1561, the citizens of Nuremberg beheld “A very frightful spectacle.” The sky appeared to fill with cylindrical objects from which red, black, orange and blue white disks and globes emerged. Crosses and tubes resembling cannon barrels also appeared whereupon the objects promptly “began to fight one another.” After about an hour of battle, the objects seemed too catch fire and fell to Earth, where they turned too steam. The witnesses took this display as a divine warning. This report is unique in the annals of Ufology, in that it has never been repeated. There is no record of such “objects” in either local or German national folklore. The surviving Town records from the period, give no indication of any unrest either civil or external. Given the uniqueness of the incident, it appears that something supernatural or paranormal took place.(Jim Morris)
One of the most astounding of documented sightings of aerial phenomena took place in 1561 over Nuremberg, Germany. What was described could only be called a war in the heavens, with a wide variety of craft ranging from spheres to spear-like cylinders to crosses. The sky was apparently filled with the machines, clashing in battle. Comets and such were well identified and charted in this period, so it is highly unlikely that what the people witnessed was merely a celestial phenomenon like a ‘meteor shower’, as some debunkers suggest. Rather, what is described are physical objects of unique detail and shapes, in ‘battle’ for over an hour. The battle was such that a winner was perceived as well. Spheroid UFOs were seen emerging from cylindrical ‘motherships’. At the conclusion of the battle, it seems a magnificent, black, spear-like super-ship of some kind came upon the scene…
It began at dawn, as dozens, if not hundreds, of crosses, globes and tubes fought each other above the city. It ended an hour later, when “the globes in the small and large rods flew into the sun,” and several of the other objects crashed to earth and vanished in a thick cloud of smoke.

The author of the Gazette warned that “the God-fearing will by no means discard these signs, but will take it to heart as a warning of their merciful Annunciation with St. Emidius Father in heaven, will mend their lives and faithfully beg God, that he avert His wrath, including the well-deserved punishment, on us, so that we may, temporarily here and perpetually there, live as His children.”(Rense.com)
A broadsheet that dates from 1561, held in the Wickiana Collection of Switzerland’s Zurich Central Library, describes an ancient battle of ufos over the skies of Nuremberg, Germany, on April 14th of that very same year. At sunrise, many people witnessed large numbers of dark red, blue and black ‘globes’ or ‘plates’ near the sun, ‘some three in a row, now and then four in a square, also some alone. And amongst these globes some blood colored crosses were seen.’ The document also refers to two great tubes ‘ in which three, four and more globes were seen. They then all began to fight each other.’ This went on for about an hour, until ‘they all fell…… from the sun and sky down to the earth, producing a lot of steam’. Beneath the globes a long object that looked like a great black spear was also described as being seen. (Subversive Element)
Is it possible that these visitors were extensions of the ongoing Orion Wars? Are they competing for Earth’s “resources”? Were they here to warn of of something?
With numerous sources reporting on this incident, what do you think happened? Comment below!
This is an immensely interesting interview taken place in 1998. It’s between a girl named Sarah and Dr. Jamission Neruda, who had access to amazing detailed information about the history of earth, Atlantis, the seedings of the human race, and the grand plan for this planet.
This information was extracted from The Ancient Arrow Site and from Sumerian documentation.
Now, before you start reading, keep in mind there are infinite realities with every possibility happening all at once. This information is both true and false. It both happened and it didn’t because there’s enough room within Source for all things to unfold.
The point is to widen your perception of what is possible. A lot of this information resonates with me and makes sense from a timeline point of view. This is not the definite story of earth, it is what you make it.
It’s quite long, so some parts of this interview include:
Dr. Neruda: “Earth was and is a very unique planet. It was entirely of water originally. But what made it interesting to beings was the fact that its core enabled it to have a gravitational force that supported manifestation.”
Sarah: “What do you mean by manifestation?”
Dr. Neruda: “That it began to traverse from an interdimensional planet of sound frequencies to a planet of matter—of physical matter. Its gravity-producing core or nucleus was able to literally create the conditions that allowed it to materialize itself over eons of time.”
Sarah: “So earth started out as a water planet and it wasn’t physical?”
Dr. Neruda: “Correct. This was when the Atlanteans lived within the planet. They were the race of beings that inhabited earth at this time of its formation. The Anunnaki came to them and negotiated an agreement to allow the Anunnaki to mine a substance near the core of the planet that would be—in its essence—what today we would call gold.”
Dr. Neruda: “Let me be clear, these beings—the Atlanteans—were infinite, meaning they did not have spacetime regulation. They lived after the body died. However, the Anunnaki created a set of planes or dimensions of experience that was the equivalent of a Holding Plane, that’s what the WingMakers called it, where they could be recycled.”
Sarah: “Recycled… as in reincarnation?”
Dr. Neruda: “Yes, exactly. This was the basis of reincarnation. It allowed the Anunnaki to recycle the Atlanteans. Some aspects of the implanted functionality were interdimensional, which is to say, it could assist in the delivery of the beings to the proper location within the Holding Planes of consciousness, and assist in their reincarnation back into a new vessel.”
Sarah: “How can everyone in this universe be a part of this deception? I don’t understand.”
Dr. Neruda: “Our entire universe is created. I’m not saying it is the universe. I’m saying that what we call the universe, as far as we can observe, is part of the hologram implanted within our consciousness framework and human interface. Our mind consciousness established the spatial-temporal relationships of everything we see, and as I said, this is part of our program. And this includes the universe.

Mysterious Desert Fairy Circles Share Pattern with Skin Cells
Mysterious Desert Fairy Circles Share Pattern with Skin Cells
Two apparently unrelated systems on vastly different scales – fairy circles in the Namibian desert (left) and microscopic skin cells (right) – appear to share a similar pattern, which is very, very unusual.
Patterns appearing on both the very large and very small scale are extremely rare, but researchers at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) in Japan have found a similar pattern in two apparently unrelated systems -- skin cells and fairy circles in the Namibian desert.
“It's a completely amazing, strange match,” said Prof. Robert Sinclair, who heads the Mathematical Biology Unit at OIST.
Desert fairy circles are considered one of nature’s greatest mysteries because no one knows how they form. Different from mushroom rings, these fairy circles are large barren patches of earth ringed by short grass dotting the desert like craters on the moon or big freckles. Several groups are racing to figure out this bizarre phenomenon. Sinclair and his collaborator, Haozhe Zhang, believe they have identified a small, but vital piece of the puzzle.
Haozhe Zhang, a PhD student now at Iowa State University, and OIST Professor Robert Sinclair investigated the spatial patterns of Namibian fairy circles and skin cells when Zhang was a research intern at OIST in 2013.
The distribution of fairy circles throughout the desert may look random, but turns out to have a pattern that very closely matches the distribution pattern of skin cells. A pattern spanning such drastically different size scales -- microscopic skin cells and the desert landscape -- is almost unheard of in nature.
“It is still difficult to say why exactly they are similar, but the fact that they are similar is already very important,” Sinclair said. “This is suggesting there may be such types of patterns that cover really different size scales.”
The distribution of Namibian fairy circles (red, yellow and blue bars) with four, five, six, seven, eight and nine neighbors (indicated by polygon class) is essentially the same as skin cells (black bar) – statistically indistinguishable.
To conduct the analysis, Sinclair and Zhang compared the number of neighbors adjacent to fairy circles and skin cells. They took satellite images of fairy circles, and a computer drew lines halfway between each pair of circles to designate invisible boundaries, much like cell walls. The computer then counted how many neighbors surround each fairy circle. Other researchers had calculated skin cell neighbors several years ago.
The results were almost identical. Both the majority of fairy circles and majority of cells have six neighbors. But the similarity gets even more specific -- the percentage of fairy circles with four, five, six, seven, eight and nine neighbors is essentially the same as the skin cells.
“I didn’t expect it to be so close,” Sinclair said. “We spent a lot of time checking because it really looked too close to believe.”
Namibian fairy circles are large barren patches of earth ringed by short grass dotting the desert like craters on the moon or giant polka dots. No one knows how they form.
Many theories about how fairy circles form -- from rolling zebras to underground gases to dying trees -- have been proven incorrect. Now, some scientists are developing mathematical models attempting to explain the origin of fairy circles.
“These models have to incorporate our results,” said Zhang, a Ph.D. student in the Department of Statistics at Iowa State University, who conducted the research at OIST with Sinclair in 2013.
The researchers suspect the patterns might be similar because both skin cells and fairy circles are fighting for space. If true, scientists might one day be able to glean information about systems just by analyzing patterns. For example, they could search for signs of life on other planets or moons, where images are usually the only data initially available.
Finding such a pattern could also benefit ecology and biology in general. Understanding processes on one scale could illuminate what is happening at the other end of the spectrum. “Otherwise, we need a whole new theory for each type of system we study, and may miss general principles, or, as some say, not see the forest for the trees,” Sinclair said.

Mysterieuze elfencirkels in de woestijn hebben hetzelfde geometrische patroon als huidcellen
Mysterieuze elfencirkels in de woestijn hebben hetzelfde geometrische patroon als huidcellen
Patronen die zowel op zeer grote als zeer kleine schaal voorkomen zijn extreem zeldzaam. Onderzoekers van het Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) hebben opzienbarende overeenkomsten gevonden tussen huidcellen en de mysterieuze elfencirkels in de woestijn van Namibië.
De elfencirkels zijn één van de grootste mysteries van de natuur omdat niemand precies weet hoe ze ontstaan. In de zanderige graslanden van Namibië zijn vele duizenden ronde of ellipsvormige elfencirkels te vinden. Ze hebben een diameter van twee tot 12 meter, zijn vaak omzoomd door hoger gras en kennen een ‘levenscyclus’.
Diverse groepen proberen dit bizarre fenomeen beter te begrijpen. Professor Robert Sinclair en zijn collega Haozhe Zhang denken een klein, maar belangrijk puzzelstuk te hebben gevonden. De verspreiding van elfencirkels door de woestijn lijkt misschien willekeurig, maar het blijkt nu dat huidcellen zich op dezelfde manier verspreiden.
Zhang en Sinclair (OIST)
Sinclair en Zhang hebben onderzocht hoe ver elfencirkels en huidcellen uit elkaar liggen. Met behulp van satellietbeelden lieten ze de computer lijnen trekken tussen de cirkels. Andere wetenschappers hadden enkele jaren geleden al onderzoek gedaan naar de verspreiding van huidcellen.
De patronen waren vrijwel identiek. Zowel de elfencirkels als de huidcellen hebben over het algemeen zes ‘buren’. Het percentage elfencirkels en huidcellen met vier, vijf, zes, zeven, acht of negen buren was nagenoeg gelijk.
Je hoort de meest opmerkelijke verhalen over dingen die mensen vinden als ze verhuizen.
Een complete ondergrondse stad moet toch wel het meest merkwaardige van allemaal zijn.
Dat is wat een inwoner van Turkije overkwam in 1963 in de provincie Nevsehir in een gebied dat bekendstaat als Cappadocia. De man was bezig met het verbouwen van zijn huis en om een muur naar beneden te halen. Naast dat de muur verdween, keek de man ook tot zijn stomme verbazing naar de ingang van een tunnel.
Wat hij had gevonden en waar hijzelf geen flauw idee van had, was de oude ondergrondse stad Derinkuyu. Een complete stad, uitgehakt in de stenen onder Cappadocia en reikte tot zo’n 60 meter diep.
Derinkuyu had 18 verschillende niveaus en beschikte over woningen, kerken, voedselopslag, wijnmakerijen en zelfs een school. De stad was ontworpen om ongeveer 20.000 mensen te huisvesten, evenals een aantal dieren. Het had ventilatieschachten naar de oppervlakte en een aantal discrete ingangen. Deze verborgen ingangen suggereren dat de stad was gebouwd uit voorzorg en om de bevolking onder te brengen in tijden van oorlog of bij natuurrampen.
Als je kijkt naar de afbeelding van Derinkuyu dan zie je de kerk op het laagste niveau. Steden zoals deze werden gebruikt ten tijde van Christenvervolgingen en dus werden religieuze zaken op het laagste, meest veilige niveau ondergebracht en straalden de zegeningen uit naar boven was het idee.
De uitgebreide ondergrondse stad was verbonden via trappen, gangen en via kilometerslange tunnels zelfs verbonden met andere ondergrondse steden.
Men vermoedt dat deze stad is gebouwd ergens tussen de zevende en achtste eeuw voor Christus, wat natuurlijk ver voor de Christenvervolging ligt. In eerste aanleg zal het dan ook bescherming geweest zijn voor de bevolking tegen oorlogen en natuurrampen. De stad is sinds de bouw permanent in gebruik gebleven tot aan de twaalfde eeuw.
Uit de kerk die men aantrof blijkt dat de bevolking Christelijk was. Ook na de twaalfde eeuw is de stad nog regelmatig gebruikt zoals met de Mongoolse invasie rond 1300 en tot aan de twintigste eeuw voor Christen die vervolgd werden. De stad werd definitief verlaten in 1923.
De meeste ingangen naar Derinkuyu zijn verborgen en ook de verschillende niveaus kunnen door middel van enorme stenen deuren worden afgesloten. De aanwezige ruimte voor dieren en een 55 meter diepe schacht die als bron werd gebruikt, tonen aan dat men daar langere tijd kon verblijven. Mocht het ook daar uiteindelijk toch fout gaan dan waren er geheime ontsnappingstunnels.
Tot de stad in 1963 per ongeluk weer werd ontdekt tijdens de verbouwing van het huis van deze Turkse man, was men de stad eigenlijk vergeten. Sinds de jaren zestig heeft het nieuwe bekendheid gekregen en de stad is sinds 1969 (gedeeltelijk) toegankelijk voor toeristen.
Triangle formation caught on tape over India – April 2015
Triangle formation caught on tape over India – April 2015
Here’s one interesting video of a triangle UFO formation flying across the sky above India. It was allegedly filmed at a wedding party in early April 2015.
What do you think of these lights? Please leave your comments below!
Edgar is a famous NASA astronaut that has walked on the moon. He says he has proof that the Grey aliens are real and that right now aliens are watching us!
UFO Aliens
Edgar was part of the Apollo 14 space flight January 31, 1971, proceeded by the lunar landing on February 5th. During the two lunar EVAs (Extravehicular Activity), Mitchell along with his Commander Alan Shepard spent about 33 hours on the Moon.
Edgar claims that he believes in Aliens and UFOs – Aliens are Real! Claiming that we have been watched and observed for a long time. He mentions the Roswell alien crash in the summer of 1947. Pointing out the reason for the US government denial was they weren’t sure if the specimen found was hostile. He also says the US didn’t want the soviets to know so a cover up was decided. Edgar claims he is positive that we are being watched right now.
When asked how many Alien Civilizations there are Edgar’s answer was – Billions.
Astronaut Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man on the moon, testifies to extraterrestrial visitation and military coverup.
Aliens UFO
Edgar also gives us some insight to the reason our government has kept Aliens and other UFO related information above top-secret. He stated that the Air Force is responsible for protecting our skies, and they and various other governmental agencies did not know what to do with the alien crashed saucer, and its superior technology.
They certainly did not want the Soviets to get their hands on it, and at the same, the best course of action was to just lie about it, and keep it to themselves. They labeled it “above top-secret,” and that created the long running iron curtain separating a secret group within the government, and the American public. It is believed by some UFO researchers that this group was the Majestic-12, which is often referred to as MAJ-12.
Mitchell’s reference to this secret group does not in any way give validation to the so-called Majestic-12 documents, but it does give us proof that a group to protect UFO information did exist, and with ongoing UFO events of importance, it is only reasonable to assume that the group continues today.
UFO Interview
There is no doubt that Dr. Mitchell’s statements will have long reaching consequence in the UFO community, and hopefully, mainstream media will pay a more serious look at reports of UFOs. So now, we who have always believed that there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, can know without reservation that this belief is based on fact.
We will continue to look for answers as to why they are here, where they come from, how they get here, and what we will do when and if they decide to make themselves known openly to this curious, tiny, third planet from the Sun we call Earth.
Aliens have contacted humans several times but governments have hidden the truth for 60 years, the sixth man to walk on the moon has claimed.
Apollo 14 astronaut Dr Edgar Mitchell, said he was aware of many UFO visits to Earth during his career with NASA but each one was covered up.
Dr Mitchell, 77, said during a radio interview that sources at the space agency who had had contact with aliens described the beings as ‘little people who look strange to us.’
He said supposedly real-life ET’s were similar to the traditional image of a small frame, large eyes and head.
Chillingly, he claimed our technology is ‘not nearly as sophisticated’ as theirs and “had they been hostile”, he warned ‘we would be been gone by now’.
Dr Mitchell, along with with Apollo 14 commander Alan Shepard, holds the record for the longest ever moon walk, at nine hours and 17 minutes during their 1971 mission.
‘I happen to have been privileged enough to be in on the fact that we’ve been visited on this planet and the UFO phenomena is real,’ Dr Mitchell said. It’s been covered up by all governments for 60 years.
Mars Mystery: Does Flowing Water Cause Red Planet's Dark Streaks?
Mars Mystery: Does Flowing Water Cause Red Planet's Dark Streaks?
April 7, 2015 - Mars' mysterious dark streaks continue to intrigue and puzzle scientists.
Over the past several years, Mars-orbiting spacecraft have spotted dark, fingerlike features that scientists call "recurring slope lineae," or RSL for short. These are dark flows, possibly caused by liquid water, found at many locations throughout low and middle latitudes on Mars. More than 120 candidate and confirmed RSL sites have been discovered, with some sites containing 1,000 or more individual RSL.
Yet another eye-catching manifestation on Mars is the "slope streak," which can propagate down steep slopes on the Red Planet. Slope streaks could be caused by dust avalanches, scientists say, and they differ from RSL in morphology, setting and mode of occurrence. [Photos: The Search for Water on Mars]
But the mechanism of slope streak formation remains up for grabs. Some researchers, for example, invoke a "wet" mode for the features' origin: a percolation of brine (salty water) in the shallow subsurface on Mars.
These active and baffling features garnered their own dedicated session March 18, held here during the 46th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference. Leading experts gathered to discuss enigmatic RSL and slope streaks - what causes them and what they may be telling researchers about present-day Mars.
"Some role for water appears required to explain the RSL, but the origin of that water remains puzzling," said Alfred McEwen, principal investigator for the superpowerful High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on board NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which is now circling the Red Planet.
Slope streaks on dusty slopes, McEwen said, "are much easier to understand, as all observations are consistent with relatively high-velocity dust avalanches."
McEwen contributed to research that indicates RSL grow slowly and incrementally, form on warm slopes in warm seasons and annually fade and reoccur.
Different from slope streaks, RSL continue to develop over time scales of weeks and come back in multiple years at the same location.
RSL locations occur on steep crater walls, and typically have only a small number of lineae - often fewer than 10.
These properties strongly suggest that RSL formation is controlled by a volatile substance, and liquid water is a likely candidate, reported Colin Dundas, a planetary scientist at the U.S. Geological Survey's Astrogeology Science Center at Flagstaff, Arizona, along with McEwen and Sarah Sutton, who is also based at the University of Arizona. However, the source of water is unknown and dry processes cannot be entirely ruled out, they noted.
"A major advance in understanding [these features] may require new flight experiments - orbital or surface - that are designed to study RSL and to better understand the present-day water cycle on Mars," McEwen told Space.com.
Searches to find new RSL locations are ongoing.
"In the near term, we need to extend our high-resolution monitoring of RSL both in space and time, in order to understand the range of places where they exist and how they vary from year to year," Dundas told Space.com. "In combination with the results of modeling and lab work, this can help us understand the local conditions that allow them to form."
RSL could pose planetary protection concerns, Dundas and McEwen said, so high-resolution monitoring across multiple seasons is needed when steep slopes occur near candidate landing sites.
In other work, David Stillman of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, led a team that analyzed the seasonal water budget of an RSL site in Mars' huge Valles Marineris canyon system. The researchers' findings suggest that the site is recharged by an aquifer on Mars.
In fact, Stillman's team determined that the total amount of water liberated from the area is equivalent to eight to 17 Olympic-sized swimming pools. The only way to annually recharge such a large volume of water is via an aquifer, Stillman said.
This work points to brine reaching the Martian surface via fractures that extend into a regional pressurized aquifer. Furthermore, the water lost from the myriad RSL within Valles Marineris - roughly 50 sites - is likely a significant regional source of atmospheric water vapor for much of each year, researchers said.
Both the briny nature and water loss, due to vaporization, of these RSL suggest that there is a zone of salty regolith within a few centimeters of the surface at these sites, Stillman said.
RSL "are truly fascinating features, and I think the best place to search for extant Martian life," Stillman told Space.com.

Deux nouveaux satellite Galileo, le programme européen concurrent du GPS, ont été lancés cette nuit avec succès depuis Kourou en Guyane.

Le lanceur Soyouz à Kourou en Guyane française, le 24 mars 2015.
L'Europe a réussi dans la nuit de vendredi à samedi le lancement de deux nouveaux satellites Galileo, sept mois après un raté qui avait entraîné un nouveau retard pour cet ambitieux programme concurrent du GPS américain. "Je suis ravi, en fonction de toutes les informations dont nous disposons et qui ont été recoupées (...), de vous dire que Adam et Anastasia sont bien sur l'orbite où ils devaient être", a déclaré le PDG d'Arianespace, la société chargée d'organiser le tir, sous les applaudissements. "C'est donc un plein succès", a-t-il ajouté. Selon l'Agence spatiale européenne (ESA), les satellites ont été largués "sur leur orbite cible, à une altitude proche de 23.500 km, 3 heures et 48 minutes après la mise à feu du lanceur".
"La reprise du déploiement de la constellation Galileo"
Une fusée russe Soyouz emportant le septième (Sat-7) et le huitième (Sat-8) satellites de la "constellation", prévue pour en compter 30, avait décollé depuis la Guyane française à 21h46 GMT, l'heure prévue. Après le décollage, le vol des trois étages inférieurs de Soyouz a duré neuf minutes. Puis Fregat, le quatrième étage, s'est séparé du reste de la fusée et a allumé son moteur, emportant avec lui les deux satellites fabriqués par la société allemande OHB.
"Ce lancement marque la reprise du déploiement de la constellation Galileo", a souligné le directeur général de l'ESA, Jean-Jacques Dordain, cité dans le communiqué de l'ESA. Décidé au début des années 2000, Galileo vise à rendre l'Europe indépendante du GPS (Global Positioning System) américain, qui rend de multiples services dans les domaines routier, maritime, etc. Mais au fil des ans, le programme a accumulé les retards pour des raisons diverses et les coûts se sont alourdis.
Un succès après une mauvaise mise en orbite en août
Le 22 août, il a subi un sérieux revers lorsque Fregat a placé sur une mauvaise orbite deux satellites, Sat-5 et Sat-6. Une commission d'enquête a établi que le problème avait été provoqué par un gel du carburant lié à un "design imprécis" sur des tuyaux d'alimentation de Fregat, selon Arianespace. Des actions correctrices ont été effectuées par le fabricant russe de Fregat.
Fin janvier, la Commission européenne, qui finance à 100% Galileo, a fini par donner son feu vert à une reprise des tirs par Soyouz fin mars. "Avec les six nouveaux satellites qui doivent fonctionner d'ici la fin de l'année, nous approchons désormais du rythme de croisière pour la production, l'essai et le déploiement des satellites de la constellation", a estimé Didier Faivre, directeur du programme Galileo à l'ESA. D'après l'agence, "quatre autres satellites Galileo actuellement à l'essai ou en fin d'intégration doivent encore être lancés dans le courant de 2015". Galileo doit à terme compter 30 satellites.
Un programme qui a déjà coûté 5 milliards d'euros
Quatre satellites "test" réalisés par un consortium dirigé par Airbus Defence and Space (ex-Astrium) ont été lancés en 2011 et 2012. Mais l'un d'entre eux a rencontré un problème et il ne peut fonctionner correctementpour la fonction navigation. La Commission européenne a également acheté 22 satellites fabriqués par OHB. L'Europe espère que dès la fin 2016, Galileo aura 14 satellites en orbite et qu'il pourra rendre ses premiers services aux utilisateurs, en apportant un plus à ceux offerts par le GPS, les deux systèmes étant compatibles. Objectif de la Commission européenne: que la constellation Galileo soit totalement opérationnelle en 2020.
"La mission Galileo est remplie avec 24 satellites mais nous souhaitons avoir six satellites de rechange", avait souligné Didier Faivre avant le tir. Pour le moment, l'Europe a acheté 26 satellites. Elle va donc devoir en commander d'autres d'ici le début de l'année prochaine. Le programme Galileo a déjà coûté environ cinq milliards d'euros. Pour la période 2014-2020, l'Europe a prévu de dépenser sept milliards d'euros.

These interesting UFO photos were taken in the sky above La Jolla, an affluent neighborhood in San Diego, California. This paranormal phenomenon happened on 31st March 2015.
Witness report:After a storm had passed, was taking photos of a rainbow. Down the street I noticed an odd red shaft of light, so I took a couple of photos. Was surprised to find a cocoon of light within the red shaft by applying red filtering.
Do pilots believe in UFOs? Many of them do and here is my close encounter story
Do pilots believe in UFOs? Many of them do and here is my close encounter story
Captain Andy talks with the Daily News about his encounter with a UFO
People love to ask pilots questions. But my favorite, and certainly the most interesting, is "Have you ever seen a UFO while flying?"
The answer is yes. And here's how it happened.
It was April 10, 1989 and early in my career. I was still a first officer at a regional airline. It was about 8 p.m. and we had just taken off from Kansas City International Airport bound for Waterloo, Iowa. It was a beautiful evening, with a full moon, clear skies and crisp early spring temperatures. The weather forecast for Waterloo was as nice, with clear skies and unlimited visibility.
After a short taxi and take-off, Air Traffic Control (ATC) cleared us to our cruise altitude of 15,000 feet. We established a Northeasterly heading, pointed strait at Waterloo, about 200 miles ahead. There were thin wispy clouds all around us, illuminated by the light of the full moon that shone through the captain's-side window at our left. Despite the presence of these clearly visible wispy clouds everywhere, we weren't flying through any of them. There was also a white disc dimly but clearly visible through those clouds just off to our right.
Andrew Danziger said he saw a UFO during a flight from Kansas City to Iowa in 1989.
We flew on and I commented to Bruce, the captain, about this dimly visible disc. He said that he'd been watching the same thing since we had leveled off. It looked similar to the moon faintly visible though thin fog, except the two were visible at the same time on opposite sides of our cockpit. We looked down below for search lights, you know, the kind that's sometimes used for aerial light displays or advertising at a car dealer, but there was no beam of light coming from the ground, no search light from an airport either. The captain and I had cumulatively spent many years flying and were accustomed to seeing — day and night — all manner of airplane, blimp, hot air balloon, satellite and bird. But neither of us had any idea what this disc could be.
We spent 20 to 30 minutes at our cruise altitude, all the while staring at this white disc dimly visible through some clouds that we somehow never seemed to fly through. Within about 40 miles of Waterloo, ATC confirmed the weather, still clear skies and unrestricted visibility at our destination as we began to descend. We got busy with our flying duties and for a short while, maybe for a minute, both of us had looked away from the disc, but when I looked up at it again I saw something that has been burned into my memory.

Pilots can call the "National UFO Reporting Center" to reporting sightings of extraterrestrials
I yelled to Bruce, "Holy s--t." He immediately looked over from what he was doing. Above the clouds, where the white disc had been, was a now giant red ball. It was big and bright and just sat there above the clouds. It wasn't intense enough to illuminate us with a red glow but it was still plenty bright. We sat there in stunned silence. We obviously didn't want to hit it but quickly saw that it was flying parallel to our course. We weren't on a collision course and we also weren't gaining on it. Time became a blur as we continued our descent, this giant, red ball holding its course.
We slowly lost altitude and at around 13,000 feet, the brightly glowing ball began a gradual descent, too. As it did, it slowly started disappearing behind those wispy clouds. In about 30 seconds, like a setting sun but not nearly as bright, it vanished behind the clouds. The instant it fully disappeared, hundreds of lights began flashing from within the clouds.
As I looked on in disbelief, the flashing lights were brighter than ever and I could see that the section of the cloud that the glowing red ball had descended behind was starting to stretch apart like a piece of "Silly Putty," two halves being pulled slowly apart with the middle getting thinner and thinner. This continued until the halves grew so thin that it tore apart and, pop! Everything was gone. The dimly lit disc, the flashing lights, the thin wispy clouds that we had with us for the last 40 minutes; all of it, gone. There wasn't a cloud in the sky. Only the full moon remained off to our left.
Bruce and I just looked at each other. "Oh my God, what the f--k was that", was all I could muster. My colleague just stared out the windscreen, mesmerized. We discussed whether we should report what we had just witnessed. After a few minutes, I picked up the radio mic and asked the Kansas City Center controller if they had anything on radar. "Nope, nothing but you," came the response. "No, not right now but a couple minutes ago, at our one to two o'clock," I replied. "No," he repeated, "It's a slow night. I've got the entire sector between Kansas City and Waterloo and you're all that's been in it for the last hour." Bruce and I again just looked at each other, completely dumbfounded. "So for the last say 40 minutes or so you've had no traffic at all, not at our one or two o'clock?" I asked. "No sir, not at your one or two o'clock, not anywhere, you're all there is," he assured us.

Do pilots believe in UFOs? It's a question people often like to ask.
A minute or so later, from over the radio came, "Air Midwest , do you want to report a UFO?" We looked at each other for a couple seconds and Bruce nodded his head. "Yes sir, we do," I finally replied. "OK, take down this number and call when you get on the ground."
After deplaning we called the number. "National UFO Reporting Center" said the voice from the other end. At the time I didn't even know such a place existed, but they took collect calls from pilots and air traffic controllers. Bruce told the person on the other end of the line that we wanted to report a UFO. We were interviewed separately, first the captain and then me. When my interview was finished the man on the other end of the line said that we would never hear from him again and would never receive any additional information, this was going to be our first and only contact regarding the sighting. I asked, "Can I ask just one question, do you think we're crazy, has anyone else ever reported something like this?"

Many pilots believe in little green men, Captain Andy said.
"Oh no, you're not crazy at all," he replied. "This very same thing has been reported by pilots countless times." And while neither of us had any idea what we had saw one thing we were certain of, it wasn't from here.
Our airline had no official UFO policy (nor did any that I ever worked for), but at the time we were both young with long and promising careers in front of us. We knew through the grapevine that pilots weren't supposed to talk about UFOs so we swore the station agent on duty to secrecy and agreed not to talk about our incident to any of our co-workers.
That was more than 25 years ago. Today I'm older, wiser and at the end of my career. In my last few years of flying the subject of UFOs occasionally came up in the cockpit. If it was brought up at all, it was usually by a younger, newer first officer who'd say something with much trepidation. More than a few pilots have shared their UFO stories with me, too. I'm not going too far out on a ledge to say that virtually all pilots believe in UFOs. Little green men, "close encounters", alien kidnappings,... not so much, but with billions of stars and trillions of planets out there, "ya gotta believe", and almost all of us do.
Andrew Danziger is a 28-year airline veteran, with experience in turboprops and Boeing aircraft. He was an international 757/767 captain for the last 14 years. He has served as an airline ground school instructor and check pilot in both simulators and aircraft and was one of the pilots to fly Barack Obama during his 2008 presidential campaign.
