Radio bursts from space reveal strange mathematical pattern

Eleven fast radio bursts from space seem to follow a strange mathematical pattern, according to a new study – and it has researchers scratching their heads.
According to study co–authors Michael Hippke of the Institute of Data Analysis in Neukirchen-Vluyn, Germany, and John Learned of the University of Hawaii in Manoa, the bursts– which were first detected in 2001 – all had dispersion measures that were integer multiples of the same number: 187.5. “The astronomers that found [the bursts] have not seen such things before and do not understand them,” Learned told FoxNews.com.
Nobody knows what causes fast radio bursts, known as FRBs. They only last a few milliseconds, and only one so far has been captured live (by the Parkes Telescope in Australia last year). Though the bursts release just as much energy in a few milliseconds as the sun does in a month, their brevity indicates that the source must be small, with estimates being several hundred miles across at most.
Researchers use dispersion measures, which records how much “space gunk” the burst has passed through, to estimate the distance an FRB has travelled. For instance, a low frequency FRB will have more gunk on it, indicating a longer trip, whereas a high frequency FRB will be cleaner, indicating it came from closer to Earth.
The fact that all of the FRBs’ dispersion measures are integer multiples of 187.5 has, according to Hippke and Learned’s team’s calculations, a 5 in 10,000 chance of being coincidental. The dispersion measures also indicate that their origin is relatively close to Earth, but unlikely from within our own galaxy.
There are numerous theories on where these bursts came from, including speculation that the messages are from extraterrestrial intelligence. To the scientific community, however, this theory doesn’t really hold water, and is seen as more of a last resort only after all other avenues have been exhausted.
“We think these are likely from some very energetic process, like a burst from a high magnetic field neutron star or energy released [when] two neutron stars merge,” Professor Maura McLaughlin of the West Virginia University Center for Astrophysics explained. “The thing that made people think they were possibly from ETs was a recent paper that showed that one fundamental property is quantized in a way that wouldn't be expected if the signals were naturally occurring. However, I imagine that correlation will totally go away once more are discovered.”
Learned himself is dubious of an alien source as well, noting that he and Hippke only noted the dispersion measures’ “peculiar” pattern, and that they may even be coming from Earth. “We are now leaning more towards a terrestrial, anthropogenic interpretation,” he said. “At this point I would place my money on some sort of governmental satellite, not a natural phenomena, but I would not bet much. More data, which reportedly [is] being analyzed but which we have no insider information about yet, will be most interesting and refute or confirm our hypotheses.” He also noted that he’d only look to an ETI interpretation once all other possibilities have been eliminated.
As for McLaughlin, she believes there’s no way the FRBs could be messages from aliens, as the signals are very broadband and emitted over a wide range of radio frequencies. “It would take a LOT of energy for an alien civilization to produce these bursts - they'd need to harness the energy of many, many suns - and there's no real advantage for communication to send a signal over such a large bandwidth.”
Unfortunately, most of the claims concerning undersea bases are plain stupid. Nevertheless, some make you go hmm. Hence, let us start with the stupid.
Thanks to Google Earth, some believe 2000 feet beneath the ocean in an area near Point Dume, Malibu, California is an underwater alien base. The vehicles these aliens pilot are called “USOs” (Unidentified Submersible/marine Objects) as opposed to the more familiar UFOs which do not enter or exit from oceans/lakes as these apparently do.
The aforementioned base is a merely a seamount formation. Due to its flat appearance and supposed pillars, kooks are agape. There are problems for Jimmy Church, the crank radio host who has endorsed and publicized this structure, though.
Nature has long created objects that appear man-made and all of them are vastly more impressive and symmetrical than the Point Dume formation. Hell, even a fool like Lee Speigel does not appear to believe this gibberish.
Nevertheless, it is understandable Church is a fool. His guest list includes flakes like Richard Dolan, Kerry Cassidy, David Wilcox, and Jason Martell. In research, you are what you eat; hence, Church has chronic dysentery (1)(2)(3).
George Sauder is perhaps the most popular exponent of underground base theories around. I agree with him there may well be some funky subsea bases around. Johnathan Gray’s interesting “64 Secrets Still Ahead of us” discusses a document Sauder unearthed dating from 1966, detailing the use of underwater bases by the United States going back decades. It is good verifiable documentation. Nonetheless, Sauder should avoid mixing with kooks like Church too often (4)(5).
David Hatcher Childress Lurking Beneath the Waves.
The reason I say this is no matter how interesting the subsea base subject could potentially be, king David Hatcher Childress has leaped on-board. In 2005, he republished Ivan T. Sandersons 1970, book “Invisible Residents: The Reality of Underwater UFO’s.” (6)
The English born Sanderson was a popular Charles Fort inspired biologist, agent, adventurer, and storyteller in the 50s and 60s. Many believe Sanderson to be the person who first coined the term “cryptozoological” for off-beat creatures he wrote about like the “Abominable Snowman.” (7)
Returning to his “Invisible Residents” book, one of Sanderson’s most fascinating and influential claims in it concerns an object noted on sonar circa 1963 travelling at over “150 knots” and went to “28,374 feet below sea level” by the U.S Navy.
He quoted this story from two different articles lacking any sources. The real story appears to have taken place with an incident seen by the Royal Navy off the Norwegian Coast in February of 1963. It was an interesting tale and it contained no stories of objects descending to any such depths (8).
Yet, what struck me once more was how Childress attached himself to Sanderson like a parasite. Because, he is such a schmuck he sucks the fun out of anything Sanderson ever touched. Moreover, he seems to advocate for dubious pseudo-science with white supremacist undertones.
Like Childress, as a kid, I too was fascinated with the idea of advanced underwater/lost civilizations; indeed, the possibility of aliens under the depths fascinated me. Hence, Atlantis was where I wanted to go and from whence most discussions of underwater civilizations/bases start.
Plato described the Atlantean’s way back sometime near 300 BC. It is doubtful any Atlanteans existed as described by Plato who seemed to use it as an allegorical tale. Nevertheless, I am a huge fan of Robert Ballard who pointed out due to volcanoes and rising water levels we have numerous communities from which legends of Atlantis could have sprung (9).
Aryan Antlanteans
What I am not a fan of are the bogus theories about Atlantis advocated by Ignatius Donnelly in the 19th century. He, alongside folks like Helena Blavatsky, helped popularize the idea of the Atlanteans being a technologically superior group of people.
It sounds groovy until one digs a little deeper and the Atlanteans turn out to be white skinned overlords who influenced numerous ancient civilizations. Childress has unquestioningly leaped all over this dubious guff. So much so, he described Atlanteans as a league of races led by blonde haired folk with red turbans (10).
Scott Beekman pointed out the influence of William Pelley on many of Hatcher Childress’ topics, as has arch critic of Childress Jason Colavito (11)(12)(13).
William Hamilton is another ufologist influenced by the Aryan bull spread by 19th Century fools like Blavatsky, and Donnelly, the 20th Centuries own fantasist Pelley.Like Hatcher Childress, he also buys into the rubbish about Mount Shasta and Lemuria (14). Hamilton has dabbled in hidden bases for years and is widely scorned in ufological circles; his dabbling with Dan Burisch killed any little credibility he had (15)(16).
Furthermore, the fact he propagates the claims of Marineland Pacific Park near Palos Verdes being an experimental submersed naval base shows his Childress level of studiousness (17)(18).
Compelling Stories of Bases: AUTEC Facility
In terms of funky undersea bases straight from the imagination of Ian Fleming, a good place to look is the Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Centre (AUTEC) facility on Andros Island in the Bahamas. If the aforementioned documents Sauder found are authentic (and they look to be) there are likely some cool human made and inhabited bases out there.
As for alien bases, one imagines if they are capable of living underwater they would be invisible to any earthly scanning equipment and therefore us civilians. If we do see them emerge or dive into the water, one ponders… “Are these turkeys buzzing us for a laugh?”
Who knows, I just hope they are not Gungans. Yet in making jest, I may be shooting myself in the foot. The glut of sightings concerning UFOs emerging/descending into waterways particularly in Latin America indicates some U.S military weirdness is going on.
A prototype multi-purpose surveillance/weapon drone maybe…
The Valentich Case 1978
The above may tie into the Valentich case.
Arguments against UFO involvement in his case focus on Fredrick Valentich’s incompetence. However, even if he was crap one finds it hard to believe he mistook stars for a solid object circling him.
Most of the time, inexperienced pilots jeopardize themselves by missing marks or confusing constellations at night. According to his flight controller, Valentich showed no signs of confusion or disorientation concerning navigation.
Valentich probably screwed up; nevertheless, the object he saw, and the distraction it caused may well have assisted those errors (19).
One witness, Ray Manifold, supposedly photographed an object emerge from the water near where Valentich disappeared. While this sounds somewhat dubious. Manifold, does not come across as a turkey; furthermore, regardless of his comments the Valentich case is a suspicious and worthy of investigation. Therefore, anybody keen on the case should check out Richard F Haines’ work (20).
Some people call them earth lights, others spooklights, and ghost lanterns. Whatever they are called, they have baffled people for hundreds of years when wandering the woods or back roads and finding floating lights not attached to any explainable human creation. The history on some of these lights goes back to being incorporated in Native American legends.
In Missouri, on the Oklahoma border, there is a spooklight referred to by a few names, such as Hornet Spooklight, but most popularly by “Devil's Promenade.”
Since the 19th century, this light has appeared continually. Reportedly, in the 1940s, the Army Corps of Engineers could not find the cause and deemed it an unexplained light.
Source: Aficionados say the best chances for spotting the light occur after dark when parked on Oklahoma East 50 Road, four miles south of the three state junction of Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma in Ottawa County, Oklahoma and looking to the west. You must sit very silently. The light has been seen in backyards of the area and has been spotted both near to and far away from sightseers. Its color is also not consistent: some eyewitnesses report a greenish glow while others describe it as orange, red, yellow, or even blue. It is almost always said to be in the shape of a ball, although some say it more resembles a camping lantern travelling a couple of feet off the ground.
There have been lots of attempts at explaining the lights including that they are the car lights from people driving on Rt 66. One of the biggest problems with this concept is, how the heck were the lights there since the 1800s before cars?
Brown Mountain Lights are found on Brown Mountain in North Carolina. The first officially documented report of seeing them was in 1913. Some tried to explain it as car lights or train lights, but following floods that washed away car bridges, and made the trains cease running, the lights were still seen.
TheMarfa Lights are one of the most popularly visited sites in Marfa, Texas. Once again, these lights were longstanding and reported since the 19th Century. In an uninhabited and hard to traverse area outside of town, lights danced above the horizon and were first reported by ranchers in the area.
These mystery lights are sometimes red, sometimes blue, and other times white. They continue to baffle to this day.
Paulding Lightis found in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It's been reported since the 1960s. Some studies of it say that it is likely the lights from a car in the distance. The legends include a railroad brakeman who died trying to prevent a collision and for all eternity carries a lantern to protect from other collisions, the ghost of a murdered mail carrier, and the ghost of an Indian dancing on the power lines. Big Thicket Light is seen in East Texas in Hardin County on Bragg Road and, although some have debunked it as car lights, there is an interesting aside to this. In my years of Bigfoot research, I have repeatedly heard from people about strange lights in the woods. These look like a flashlight or a lantern and when they try to chase them down, they cannot seem to capture the source. The Big Thicket area is one of the most light-active sites I have run across in the research. In fact, I have advised Bigfoot researchers in this region to keep their eyes open for lights in the woods and try some experiments.
Traditionally, these kinds of lights were seen by citizens around the world and called “will-o'-the-wisp.” A true will-o'-the-wisp is seen over bogs, marshes, and swamps. Natural odd lights have been seen for centuries, long before car lights and train lights. Some of the local legends include ghosts with lanterns. (Wikipedia) A peasant traveling home at dusk sees a bright light traveling along ahead of him. Looking closer, he sees that the light is a lantern held by a “dusky little figure”, which he follows for several miles. All of a sudden he finds himself standing on the edge of a vast chasm with a roaring torrent of water rushing below him. At that precise moment the lantern-carrier leaps across the gap, lifts the light high over its head, lets out a malicious laugh and blows out the light, leaving the poor peasant a long way from home, standing in pitch darkness at the edge of a precipice. This is a fairly common cautionary tale concerning the phenomenon; however, the ignis fatuus was not always considered dangerous. There are some tales told about the will-o’-the-wisp being guardians of treasure, much like the Irish leprechaun leading those brave enough to follow them to sure riches. Other stories tell of travelers getting lost in the woodland and coming upon a will-o’-the-wisp, and depending on how they treated the will-o’-the-wisp, the spirit would either get them lost further in the woods or guide them out.
The Maco Light in North Carolina is one of the types of spooklights with legend attached to a haunting. Just west of Wilmington in the Maco Station train tracks area, ghost lights are seen. In fact, President Grover Cleveland saw them in 1889. The legend says that in 1867, a signalman was sleeping in the caboose of a train. He woke up when he felt it jerk. He recognized that the caboose was detaching from the rest of the train. He panicked when he realized that adrift on the track, another train would be arriving and hit it. He needed to signal the oncoming train. He waved a lantern frantically from the back of the caboose, hoping to catch the eye of the oncoming train. Even though the train was able to slow down, it still rear-ended the caboose and decapitated the signalman. His head landed in a swamp, but they buried his body with honors for his bravery. The legend says that the headless signalman walks around with a ghostly lantern looking for his head.
I'll be honest, this doesn't work for me on many levels, but especially that he would need a lantern to find his head which means he would have eyes to spot his head on the ground and would need a light to see his way.…
In my home state of Virginia, we have the Cahoke Lights in West Point, VA along the Cahoke train track crossroads. There are two legends and interestingly one of them is a headless railroad worker. The other legend is about a missing train of injured war soldiers.
Conclusion
What are spooklights? It's hard to make a sweeping statement on that because, like all sounds are not ghosts, all lights are not unexplained. Some of the unexplained lights are written off as car lights, train lights, lights caused by ghosts, lights caused by natural earth occurrences include ignition of gases, airborne minerals being lit by ambient light, electrical disturbances along fault lines, and other assorted swamp gas-related concepts.
Daytime UFO sighting over New Ellenton, South Carolina on 8th April 2015
Daytime UFO sighting over New Ellenton, South Carolina on 8th April 2015
New interesting video footage of a strange donut – shaped UFO sighting recorded over New Ellenton, South Carolina on 8th April 2015.
Witness said: 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.
The following is an uncommon alien abduction report:
I live on the ground floor of a condominium building in an Atlanta, GA suburb. I've only lived here about 4 months, but have felt uneasy with my home since I moved in. I live alone and rarely socialize, but I do enjoy having an occasional night out with friends. One night a few weeks ago, my close friend Josie spent the night on my couch since she was in no condition to drive home. This wasn't unusual because I enjoy her company - we are like sisters and have known each other since grade school.
The next morning (Sunday) I found Josie sitting on my leather chaise shaking like a leaf in the wind. She was wrapped in a white bed sheet, which I didn't recognize - all my bedding is colored. There was an odd odor in the living room, which reminded me of an old musty basement. As I walked closer to Josie she looked at me with wide bloodshot eyes with tears streaming down her face. I asked her what was wrong. She didn't answer - but hide her face in her hands.
I sat down on the foot of the chaise watching and consoling Josie. I was frightened, wondering if someone had broken into the condo last night and assaulted Josie. 'Josie - what happened? Where did this white bed sheet come from?' She raised her head from her hands and said 'I was abducted by aliens.'
'What? Did someone break-in and hurt you?' She looked at me and started to cry. 'The aliens took me away.'
I stood up and walked to the front door. All the locks were intact and the alarm was still armed. It hadn't been touched. I walked towards the patio sliding doors - the lock and alarm was intact there as well. Nothing in the condo looked out of place. I walked back to Josie and inquired about the white bed sheet again. She said that they took her clothes and wrapped her in it before they brought her back. I could tell that she was serious - Josie has always been a no-nonsense person. In fact, I didn't remember ever seeing her cry before.
'They know where I am again.' Again? 'What do you mean when you say again?' She asked if she could take a shower - that she would explain to me afterwards. I went in my bedroom in order to find Josie some clothes. When I walked into the bathroom, she dropped the bed sheet - and I noticed a half-dollar sized bruise at the base of her spine. There was also a few patches of greenish colored powder on her legs and on the bed sheet. Josie stepped into the shower. I grabbed the bed sheet and placed it in a large shopping bag I had beside my bed. I then made my way to the kitchen and started brewing coffee.
Josie stayed in the shower for over 45 minutes. I sat at the dining room table wondering what could have possibly transpired during the night. After a while, Josie slowly walked into the dining room and sat down across from me. 'You don't believe me, do you?' I replied 'you said that aliens took you. I don't believe in aliens, honey.'
'This was not the first time they came for me. I've put up with this since I was 5 years old. My Mama also experienced abductions during her life. They never have told us why.' Josie took a sip of coffee, 'it is painful and doesn't get any easier. It killed Mama.' Josie's Mom had committed suicide while Josie was in college. Her Father was never a part of her life.
I didn't know how to respond, but I do know this. If Josie said she was abducted, then she believed that it had happened. She is the most sincere person I know. Her only vice was that she is a heavy drinker - these abductions may be the reason why.
We talked for most of the day. She explained that the encounters always begin with her waking up disrobed on a hard cold table in a brightly lit room. The same aliens would attend to her each time. These aliens were very human-like except for their glistening yellow hair. There were male and female of various sizes and heights. They all wore white full-bodied suits. They didn't walk with their two legs but appeared to float just an inch or two above a black textured floor. There were other aliens present that were small in stature with large heads and eyes. These small beings wore dark blue smocks that reached the floor. Their duties were unknown - though there were always several standing around. Josie also said that she has endured over two dozen abductions and that she was told to expect further encounters during her life. The last abduction was over a year ago and ceased after she moved to another house. She hoped that they may have lost track of her. Now she realized that they always knew where she was.
I suppose that I am most surprised that I never had any idea that Josie has undergone this abuse over the entire time I have known her. Do I believe her? I have no reason not to believe her - and I plan to help her through the continued exploitation by these yellow-haired aliens. H.
NOTE: The submission was referred to me by a UFO investigator, who is an attorney in Atlanta, GA. The report was forwarded by a middle aged woman who has lived in the same general area her entire life. After I received the report, I was asked to redact some of the content after I requested permission to publish. Your comments are welcomed. Lon

The mother of Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has furiously bashed Americans and promised that the US “will pay” for convicting her “innocent” son and killing his older brother.
Just moments after learning that her 21-year-old was found guilty of all 30 counts in the Boston Marathon bombing trial Wednesday, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva sent an angry tirade to the technology website Vocativ through the WhatsApp messenger app.
“[The US] WILL PAY FOR MY SONS AND THE SONS OF ISLAM, PERMANENTLY!!!” she fumed in Russian. “THE TEARS OF THEIR MOTHERS WILL BE FUEL FOR THEM IN HELL.
“MY SONS ARE INNOCENT, AS INNOCENT AS ALL THOSE WHO ARE BEING KILLED BY YOUR COUNTRY,” she added. “TODAY THEY ARE KILLING MUSLIMS, AND TOMORROW WILL COME YOUR TURN AND HE WHO DOUBTS THIS IS DEEPLY MISTAKEN!!!!!”
“HOW CAN A MOTHER FEEL WHOSE SON IS IN THE CLAWS OF A PREDATOR PREPARING TO TEAR HIM TO PIECES LIKE MEAT???”
Vocativ had managed to obtain Zubeidat’s phone number by locating pictures of her holding signs with the digits. The images were posted on the Russian social media site VKontakte as part of a previous fundraising effort to support the Tsarnaev family in the wake of the 2013 attack.
The website then requested that she send a selfie with a dated piece of paper which could verify that it was indeed her sending the messages. In the photo, Zubeidat can be seen wearing a black hijab and holding a sign that reads, “Zubeidat mother of two precious brothers Tamarlan Djahar April 9, 2015.”
“I LOVE MY SONS IMMEASURABLY!!!!!!” she explained. “PRECIOUS, GLORIOUS AND RARE IN CHARACTER AND ESSENCE…ONLY GOD KNOWS WHAT WE DO NOT KNOW!!!”
Zubeidat also sent a note in Russian to a family friend Wednesday, saying she believed Americans were the real “terrorists” and claiming her murderous son is truly “the best of the best.”
“I will never forget it,” the message said. “May God bless those who helped my son.”
Vocativ had also stumbled upon the post in VKontakte.
“The terrorists are the Americans and everyone knows it,” Zubeidat charged. “My son is the best of the best.”
Zubeidat, a Russia native, has always insisted that her son Dzhokhar is innocent — despite the fact that he admitted to the 2013 attack, which left three people dead and 260 others injured.
Ralph Body was booted from a luxe Long Island City apartment building — for being too accommodating to its well-heeled tenants.
Body, 41, said he “gave his life” to the glimmering Queens tower called 27 on 27th ever since it opened two years ago a few blocks from the East River.
He didn’t just hold the door. He did anything and everything residents asked him to do — check on pets, clean litter boxes, water plants, hold packages, even show $4,200 apartments to new tenants if need be, he said.
“Everything I did, somebody asked me to do, or there was a need for it,” Body said.
But the door suddenly slammed shut on the collegial “Melrose Place”-like atmosphere last Sunday, when the staffing company that placed him at the posh building told him “upper management” wanted him out, he said.
“They said, ‘We know you did it for the right reasons, but unfortunately . . . you’re too nice to the tenants.’”
He tried to plead his case: “I told them, ‘When the tenants ask me to do something, I’m going to say yes.’
“But they said, ‘You do things for them which you shouldn’t be doing. And unfortunately, in this case, nice guys finish last,’ ” he continued.
Body said he was “shocked” at being shown the door — and so were tenants who are now rallying to bring him back. “Going above and beyond your work duties shouldn’t be punished — it should be praised,” reads a petition to reinstate Body. “We stand with Ralph.”
It goes on: “Most tenants . . . can attest to Ralph’s kindness and eagerness to make people feel safe and welcome. In a transient city where most people are from other states and countries, 27 on 27th was a unique building that truly felt like ‘home’ from the moment you stepped through the front doors.”
Residents told The Post that Body was one of the main reasons they chose to live at the 27-story building, which boasts dazzling views of Manhattan, a yoga room, gym and game and film rooms — but competes with similarly outfitted towers rising in Queens.
“Ralph made this different than other luxury buildings,” said the tenant who started the petition, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retribution from building management Heatherwood Communities.
A paper petition that the petition organizer left in the lobby mysteriously disappeared the next day, the tenant noted. “I would definitely have to think twice about my [lease] renewal now,” the resident said.
Tenants blamed Heatherwood for Body’s removal — not staffing company PBS Facility Services, which Body said has promised to find him work at a different building.
But for now, the only door he’s opening is to his apartment in the West Village. “They said I have to sit tight and wait,” Body said.
In an e-mail to tenants obtained by The Post, Heatherwood says there has been “misinformation” about Body’s removal.
“It was recently brought to our attention that Ralph did not follow PBS’s policies and procedures and after being spoken to several times, it was their decision to reassign him to another building,” the letter reads.
One of President Barack Obama’s former pilots not only says he believes in UFOs and tells in great detail about the time he saw one while flying over Iowa.
Andrew Danziger, a 28-year airline veteran who was one of Obama’s pilots during his 2008 presidential campaign, told his story to the New York Daily News.
Danziger says his close encounter happened in 1989 while flying from Kansas City to Waterloo, Iowa. He describes it as a beautiful evening, with clear skies. He says both he, and Bruce, the captain, had noticed a white disc in the sky. For 30 minutes, that disc remained in the sky.
“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,” Danziger writes.
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.
As the plane slowly descended to the ground, and was at 13,000 feet, the ball began a descent as well.
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.
He insists they had no idea what they say, they were certain it wasn’t from this earth.
Danziger says that as a pilot, he has lots of company in his belief that UFOs do exist.
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.
While former President Bill Clinton has previously said he examined the Roswell and Area 51 files while in office and confirmed we aren’t hiding any extraterrestrial life there, he refuses to rule out the existence of alien life forms. -Obama's former pilot recalls UFO encounter

Is dit een 300 miljoen jaar oude schroef?
Is dit een 300 miljoen jaar oude schroef?
Een stuk rots met daarin een voorwerp dat op een schroef lijkt, houdt mensen al sinds de jaren negentig bezig. Russische onderzoekers denken dat het ongewone voorwerp 300 miljoen jaar oud is. Volgens sommigen is het mogelijk bewijs voor een hoogontwikkelde beschaving. Anderen zeggen dat het door aliens is gemaakt.
Experts zijn van mening dat de ‘schroef’ een gefossiliseerd zeedier is. De ‘schroef’ werd ontdekt toen in het gebied rond de Russische stad Kaloega onderzoek werd verricht na de inslag van een asteroïde, meldt Ancient Code.
Schroef’ in een stuk steen
De ‘schroef’ is enkele centimeters lang en werd gevonden door de Kosmopoisk Groep, een paranormaal onderzoeksteam. Zij beweren na het maken van röntgenfoto’s dat de steen tussen de 300 en 320 miljoen jaar oud is en dat er nog een tweede verborgen ‘schroef’ in de steen zit.
De Kosmopoisk Groep heeft verder geen gedetailleerde informatie over het voorwerp gegeven, zoals bijvoorbeeld waaruit de ‘schroef’ bestaat. De groep organiseert expedities naar plekken waarvan wordt beweerd dat er buitenaardse activiteit is waargenomen.
Experts die foto’s van de steen hebben bestudeerd, zeggen dat de ‘schroef’ bestaat uit de resten van een zeelelie (foto boven), een stekelhuidig dier dat in de zee leeft. Tot het einde van de 19e eeuw werden ze nog beschouwd als uitgestorven groep. Tijdens de Challenger-expeditie (1873-76) werden de eerste levende zeelelies uit de diepte opgedregd.
Zeelelies komen al bijna 500 miljoen jaar voor en worden wel beschouwd als levend fossiel. Er zijn in totaal zo’n 5000 uitgestorven soorten benoemd. Vandaag de dag zijn er nog 600 soorten in leven.
Volgens sommige theorieën is de ‘schroef’ een restant van een oude technologie, wat erop zou wijzen dat aliens miljoenen jaren geleden op aarde leefden en dat onze voorouders veel verder ontwikkeld waren dan we denken.
UFO zichtbaar direct na vulkaanuitbarsting Mexico.
UFO zichtbaar direct na vulkaanuitbarsting Mexico.
Is er een verband tussen de vele UFO waarnemingen en het weer tot leven komen van de bekende Popocatépetl vulkaan in Mexico en mogelijk zelfs als relatie in algemene zin?
Het aantal UFOs dat rond deze vulkaan wordt waargenomen is zo langzamerhand fenomenaal en nu verschijnen ze enkele minuten na een uitbarsting.
Tientallen jaren langs was deze reus van een vulkaan in een soort slaapmode tot 1994 en 1997, toen er opnieuw uitbarstingen voorvielen, met de grootste uitbarsting in 1.000 jaar in het jaar 2.000.
Deze gigantische vulkaan staat ook wel bekend onder de naam Don Goyo (Mr. Gregory) na een verschijning van een man met een baard die zichzelf Gregorio Chino Popocatépetl noemde, de beschermgeest van de vulkaan.
Velen zeggen dat ze deze geestverschijning hebben gezien en de geest en de vulkaan worden op 12 maart bijzonder geëerd omdat dit de geboortedag is van paus Gregorius de Grote.
Dit soort rituelen waarbij de vulkaan en haar beschermgeest worden geëerd gaan al lang terug in de tijd.
Op 31 maart was er opnieuw een uitbarsting van de Popocatépetl vulkaan, waarbij een grote pluim van as en lava de atmosfeer werd ingestoten.
Via de webcams van Webcams de Mexico en Skyalert werden de beelden van deze uitbarsting al snel wereldwijd verspreid.
Waar niemand echter rekening mee had gehouden, maar wat toch gebeurde, was dat er op de afbeeldingen van deze uitbarstingen duidelijk een UFO te zien was.
Via de Twitter van Webcams werd dan ook het volgende bericht de wereld ingestuurd:
“Skyalert en Webcams de Mexico hebben een vreemd licht opgepikt op de avond van 31 maart. Een licht dat de aswolk passeerde die net drie minuten daarvoor door de Popocatépetl vulkaan was uitgestoten na een enorme explosie in de krater van deze kolos.”
Misschien pakken de UFO's het nu iets slimmer aan omdat normaal gesproken wat ze doen bij deze vulkaan niet opgepikt wordt in het nieuws. Door zich nu te vertonen, vlak na een aanzienlijke vulkaanuitbarsting terwijl miljoenen mensen kijken, wordt dát nu binnenkort anders.
UFO Cover-Up Issue Surrounds the Delay of Releasing Britain’s X-Files
UFO Cover-Up Issue Surrounds the Delay of Releasing Britain’s X-Files
The delay in the release of a cache of documents called as Britain’s X-Files has made UFO spotters to think of a cover-up. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) failed to fulfil its promise to release 18 UFO files at the end of 2014. The MoD admitted that it did not hand the cache over on the scheduled date after Lord Black of Brentwood questioned to the House of Lords about the update.
The defence ministry promised to release the files in late 2015 or 2016 instead. MoD blamed the delay to the additional processing requirements.
Former UFO investigator at the MoD, Nick Pope, said that the massive delay has caused several conspiracy theorists to think of a cover up.
Nick Pope explained that the suspicions about the delay focused on the idea that there’s information in these files that would shock the world that the Ministry doesn’t know how to handle it.
During this incident, radiation exposure reportedly affected much to the health of an American Airman First Class John Burroughs. Pope added that these documents could be called legitimately as Britain’s X-Files and most probably include further reports on the alleged UFO and alien encounter in the Rendlesham Forest.
The UK government admitted that there’s a big possibility that the witnesses at Rendlesham forest were irradiated. Recently, the US government settled an injury claim on the basis of the admission by the UK government. This possibly caused a high-level diplomatic row that resulted in a delay, according to Pope.
Attorney Pat Frascogna recently won a legal bid for Burroughs to force military health chiefs to shoulder the finances of the former US airman. Frascogna said that they knew there was information in MoD files regarding the Rendlesham Forest incident because it was clearly indicated in the MoD files that they obtained through a Freedom of Information request in 2014. According to Frascogna, either the MoD is hesitant to release these secret files or someone ordered to delay their release.
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.
Ice on Mars: Mars has belts of glaciers consisting of frozen water
Mars distinct polar ice caps, but Mars also has belts of glaciers at its central latitudes -- between the blue lines, in both the southern and northern hemispheres. A thick layer of dust covers the glaciers, so they appear as the surface of the ground, but radar measurements show that there are glaciers composed of frozen water underneath the dust.

Ice on Mars: Mars has belts of glaciers consisting of frozen water
Mars has distinct polar ice caps, but Mars also has belts of glaciers at its central latitudes in both the southern and northern hemispheres. A thick layer of dust covers the glaciers, so they appear as surface of the ground, but radar measurements show that underneath the dust there are glaciers composed of frozen water. New studies have now calculated the size of the glaciers and thus the amount of water in the glaciers. It is the equivalent of all of Mars being covered by more than one meter of ice. The results are published in the scientific journal, Geophysical Research Letters.
Several satellites orbit Mars and on satellite images, researchers have been able to observe the shape of glaciers just below the surface. For a long time scientists did not know if the ice was made of frozen water (H2O) or of carbon dioxide (CO2) or whether it was mud.
Using radar measurements from the NASA satellite, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, researchers have been able to determine that is water ice. But how thick was the ice and do they resemble glaciers on Earth?
A group of researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute have now calculated this using radar observations combined with ice flow modelling.
Data combined with modelling
“We have looked at radar measurements spanning ten years back in time to see how thick the ice is and how it behaves. A glacier is after all a big chunk of ice and it flows and gets a form that tells us something about how soft it is. We then compared this with how glaciers on Earth behave and from that we have been able to make models for the ice flow,” explains Nanna Bjørnholt Karlsson, a postdoc at the Centre for Ice and Climate at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen.
Nanna Bjørnholt Karlsson explains that earlier studies have identified thousands of glacier-like formations on the planet. The glaciers are located in belts around Mars between the latitudes 300-500 — equivalent to just south of Denmark’s location on Earth. The glaiciers are found on both the northern and southern hemispheres.
From some locations on Mars they have good detailed high-resolution data, while they only have more sparse data from other areas. But by supplementing the sparse data with information about the flow and form of the glaciers from the very well studied areas, they have been able to calculate how thick and voluminous the ice is across the glacier belts.
Could cover the entire planet
“We have calculated that the ice in the glaciers is equivalent to over 150 billion cubic meters of ice — that much ice could cover the entire surface of Mars with 1.1 meters of ice. The ice at the mid-latitudes is therefore an important part of Mars’ water reservoir,” explains Nanna Bjørnholt Karlsson.
That the ice has not evaporated out into space could actually mean that the thick layer of dust is protecting the ice. The atmospheric pressure on Mars is so low that water ice simply evaporates and becomes water vapour. But the glaciers are well protected under the thick layer of dust.

Violent formation of the moon: New view
Within the first 150 million years after our solar system formed, a giant body roughly the size of Mars struck and merged with Earth, blasting a huge cloud of rock and debris into space. This cloud would eventually coalesce and form the moon.
For almost 30 years, planetary scientists have been quite happy with this explanation–with one major exception. Although this scenario makes sense when you look at the size of the moon and the physics of its orbit around Earth, things start to break down a little when you compare their isotopic compositions–the geological equivalent of a DNA “fingerprint.” Specifically, Earth and the moon are too much alike.
The expectation has long been that the moon should carry the isotopic “fingerprint” of the foreign body, which scientists have named Theia. Because Theia came from elsewhere in the solar system, it probably had a much different isotopic fingerprint than early Earth.
Now, a team of scientists at the University of Maryland has generated a new isotopic fingerprint of the moon that could provide the missing piece of the puzzle. By zeroing in on an isotope of Tungsten present in both the moon and Earth, the UMD team is the first to reconcile the accepted model of the moon’s formation with the unexpectedly similar isotopic fingerprints of both bodies. The results suggest that the impact of Theia into early Earth was so violent, the resulting debris cloud mixed thoroughly before settling down and forming the moon. The findings appear in the April 8, 2015 advance online edition of the journal Nature.
“The problem is that Earth and the moon are very similar with respect to their isotopic fingerprints, suggesting that they are both ultimately formed from the same material that gathered early in the solar system’s history,” said Richard Walker, a professor of geology at UMD and co-author of the study. “This is surprising, because the Mars-sized body that created the moon is expected to have been very different. So the conundrum is that Earth and the moon shouldn’t be as similar as they are.”
Several different theories have emerged over the years to explain the similar fingerprints of Earth and the moon. Perhaps the impact created a huge cloud of debris that mixed thoroughly with the Earth and then later condensed to form the moon. Or Theia could have, coincidentally, been isotopically similar to young Earth. A third possibility is that the moon formed from Earthen materials, rather than from Theia, although this would have been a very unusual type of impact.
To tease out an explanation, Walker and his team looked to another well-documented phenomenon in the early history of the solar system. Evidence suggests that both Earth and the moon gathered additional material after the main impact, and that Earth collected more of this debris and dust. This new material contained a lot of Tungsten, but relatively little of this was of a lighter isotope known as Tungsten-182. Taking these two observations together, one would expect that Earth would have less Tungsten-182 than the moon.
Sure enough, when comparing rocks from the moon and Earth, Walker and his team found that the moon has a slightly higher proportion of Tungsten-182. The key, however, is how much.
“The small, but significant, difference in the Tungsten isotopic composition between Earth and the moon perfectly corresponds to the different amounts of material gathered by Earth and the moon post-impact,” Walker said. “This means that, right after the moon formed, it had exactly the same isotopic composition as Earth’s mantle.”
This finding supports the idea that the mass of material created by the impact, which later formed the moon, must have mixed together thoroughly before the moon coalesced and cooled. This would explain both the overall similarities in isotopic fingerprints and the slight differences in Tungsten-182.
It also largely rules out the idea that the Mars-sized body was of similar composition, or that the moon formed from material contained in the pre-impact Earth. In both cases, it would be highly unlikely to see such a perfect correlation between Tungsten-182 and the amounts of material gathered by the moon and Earth post-impact.
“This result brings us one step closer to understanding the close familial relationship between Earth and the moon,” Walker said. “We still need to work out the details, but it’s clear that our early solar system was a very violent place.”

The witness photographed these lights in Taipei District, Taiwan on April 2, 2015.
Filer’s Files # 15 -2015 – Admiral Byrd’s Warning - PART I
In special reports, this week’s files cover: Europe’s UFO Crash and Hitler, Operation Highjump and Antarctica Bases, Admiral Byrd Warns of UFO Invasion, Four Thousand Exoplanet Candidates, Are Governments and Media Gearing Up For Disclosure? and UFO Crash at St Augustin.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: Arizona, California, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Virginia, and Washington.
Sightings of UFOs were also reported in: Argentina, Australia, Canada, Italy, India, Korea, Portugal, Taiwan, Turkey, and in England in the United Kingdom.
The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The weekly intelligence report provides you with information on the latest sightings and UFO news that you need to understand the world situation. The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force and Prince Phillip told me of his personal interest in UFOs. The US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Europe’s UFO Crash and Hitler
The actual events during the 1930s are somewhat obscure as Hitler built a war machine and gained strength in Germany. Many of the reports are speculation based on the few known facts. We know Hitler sent expeditions around the world to find some of world’s ancient artifacts and lost technology. First German Antarctic Expedition was in 1924-27.: Neuschwabenland was German Colony setup in 1938 39 as the war got underway.
William Brophy writes,” On June 13, 1933, a UFO crashed near Magenta, Italy just west of Milano. The occupants were tall blond Nordics with oriental like features on their light blue eyes. The Italians called the UFO la Campania; the Germans called it Die Locked. The Japanese told the Italians and Germans that those tall blonde-haired people were in their legends; this led to the Axis Alliance.
Hitler realized the craft had likely been built on Earth and sent teams out to find the alien intelligence bases. When Adolf Hitler spread his message of hatred, genocide, and oppression, as having been inspired by a blond race of superhuman warriors referred to as Aryans.
The Nazis themselves claimed that an extraterrestrial society was the source of their ideology and the power behind their organization. Nazi mysticism, indeed, was reportedly a direct product of cult worship of the Extraterrestrials. The Nazis referred to their hidden extraterrestrial masters as underground supermen that apparently had a base in Antarctica. Hitler believed in the supermen and claimed that he had once met one of them, as did other members of the Thule leadership.
The Nazis said that their supermen resided beneath the Earth’s surface and were the creators of the Aryan race that suddenly appeared thousands of years ago. Aryans therefore in Adolf Hitler’s reasoning, constituted the world’s only pure race and all other people were viewed as inferior genetic mutations. The Nazis planned to re-purify humanity by committing genocide against anyone who was not an Aryan. Top Nazi leaders believed that the underground supermen would return to the surface of the Earth to rule it as soon as the Nazis began their racial purification program and established the Thousand Year Reich.
The tall blonde-haired people’s craft were the UFO’s over Los Angeles on February 25, 1942, and a large disk with a row of windows was shot down in the Santa Catalina Island area recovered by the ars-1 Viking ship and taken to Moffat Field Navy Base.
Nazi ‘aerial disk’ research became more advanced throughout the Second World War, and reportedly utilized jet-turbine and later electromagnetic propulsions systems. As it became apparent that the Germans were losing the war, they allegedly transferred this technology to a base in Antarctica which had been established years earlier, complete with underground installations, and code-named it the ‘New Berlin’.
Although deliberately obscured by the West today, Nazi German leader Adolph Hitler was obsessed with Neuschwabenland which was the name given to the area of Antarctica located between 20°E and 10°W in Queen Maud Land which he believed would one day be the world capital of his “master race.” Allegedly there were 300 square miles of land without snow and ice.
Throughout the entire duration of the war the Nazis had allegedly shipped scientists, workers, technology and saucer components to this Antarctica base or bases. Some reports also allege that Adolf Hitler escaped capture and escaped to South America. Over one hundred German U Boats disappeared during World War II and were never found. According to German naval archives, months after Germany surrendered to the Allies in April, 1945, the German submarine U-530 arrived at the South Pole from the Port of Kiel. It is felt an unknown alien intelligence occupied parts of Antarctica and gave advanced secrets of UFOs to the Germans.
Antarctica Bases and Operation Highjump
Soviet archives have extensive files claiming that Nazi Germany and the United States forged an alliance prior to the end of World War II allowing Hitler and cohorts to escape to Antarctica in exchange for German technology that included the atomic bomb, an advanced fighter jets, rocket and flying saucer technology. This would also explain the post WW2 global campaign to suppress the information concerning the free energy aspect of this from the public.
There is also being advanced the theory that the extraterrestrials belonged to very ancient civilizations that was here before modern man. The idea that these underwater structures predate the Nazis is further bolstered by anomalies such as
Piri Reis (1513) map of Antarctica at te bottom used by Western explorers to “discover” the New World and showing it to be ice free with flowing rivers and a clean coastline.
We do know Nazi U 977 and U 530 submarines went aground in Argentina after carrying supplies to the Antarctic a few weeks after the end of war. Advanced U boats and supply ships operating out of neutral Spain allegedly carried hundreds of Germans to Antarctica and South America.
The first American expedition to explore Antarctica since 1840 was the Byrd Expedition from 1928-1930. Another US Antarctic Service Expedition 1939-41 visited the continent with Captain R. H. Cruzen in command. I
At the end of war Intelligence reports reported Nazi’ ships were heading south. The Secretary of State, Secretary of War and Secretary of the Navy on August 7, 1946 approved Operation Highjump. A memorandum prepared for the meeting stated that the “Navy proposes to send an expedition to the Antarctic early in 1947. The purpose of this expedition includes training personnel and testing material, consolidating and extending U.S. sovereignty over Antarctic areas, and investigating possible base sites. Rear Admiral Richard .E. Byrd will be designated as Officer-in-Charge of the project. Task Force Commander was Captain R. H. Cruzen”. Both men had visited the area prior to the war and allegedly and located several “oases” now secret areas of the Antarctic.
On December 2, 1946, the task force set sail for the Antarctic continent with a force of 13 ships carrying some 4,700 men The Task Force 68 included multiple aircraft aboard an aircraft carrier the USS Philippine Sea. The Central Group of ships reached the Bay of Whales on January 15, 1947, and planned to stay for six months where they constructed temporary runways along the glaciers, in a base dubbed Little America IV. The ships navigated through an ice pack of several hundred miles before reaching Little America. Icebergs and unpredictable weather were formidable foes during the course of the expedition. Upon arriving at the polar continent they reportedly split into three separate groups and began a massive reconnaissance- like operation taking over 50,000 photographs.
One Navy reconnaissance aircraft was flown by Bunger who flew west with cameras humming. Suddenly the men in the cockpit saw a dark spot come up over the barren white horizon and as they drew closer, they couldn’t believe their eyes. Byrd later described it as a “land of blue and green lakes and brown hills in an otherwise limitless expanse of ice”. Bunger and his men carefully inspected the region and then raced back to the ship to tell the others of their discovery.
Several days later Bunger and his flight crew returned for another look, finding one of the lakes big enough to land his “flying boat” on. The lake was filled with red, blue and green algae which gave the lakes their distinctive color.
Most interesting to note about Admiral Byrd’s Operation Highjump mission was his solo flight towards the South Pole on February 19, 1947 wherein he recorded in his diary the following: “1000 Hours- “We are crossing over the small mountain range and still proceeding northward as best as can be ascertained. Beyond the mountain range is what appears to be a valley with a small river or stream running through the center portion. There should be no green valley below! Something is definitely wrong and abnormal here! We should be over ice and snow! To the portside are great forests growing on the mountain slopes. Our navigation instruments are still spinning, the gyroscope is oscillating back and forth!” Although not released, an alien intelligence was allegedly located.
Operation Highjump has become a topic among UFO conspiracy theorists, who claim it was a covert US military operation to conquer alleged secret underground alien or Nazi facilities in Antarctica and capture the German Vril flying discs. This has always been denied by the US Military.
Commander Graham Bethune and other Navy personnel claim the task force encountered ‘resistance’ and that there was a battle between American and UFO forces operating there, with losses on both sides.
Reports claim disc shape craft came out of the sea coming through the ice attacking some of the ships and aircraft. A brief clip of this was allegedly caught on film.
Navy official photos show a crashed PBM aircraft stating this aircraft with the call sign of ‘George 1’ mysteriously blew up killing three airmen.
Naval ships and personnel were quickly withdrawn back to the United States in late February 1947, and the expedition was terminated allegedly due to the early approach of winter and worsening weather conditions. Among the discoveries made during the 1946-47 expedition was the sighting of two “oases,” one a region of ice-free lakes and land. More than 300,000 square miles of uncharted territory was charted on aerial mapping operations. Their observations proved that radical changes would have to be made on existing maps of the Antarctic.” Why would warm spots, with warm water exist in the Antarctic?

These were not “isolated” remarks… Admiral Byrd later repeated the each of these points of view, resulting from he described as his “personal knowledge” gathered both at the north and south poles, before a news conference held for International News Service.
The intelligence report, gathered from Soviet spies embedded in the US, revealed that the US Navy had sent the military expedition to find and destroy a hidden Nazi base. On the way, they encountered a mysterious UFO force that attacked the military expedition destroying several ships and a significant number of planes. Indeed, Operation Highjump had suffered “many casualties” as stated in initial press reports from Chile. The Navy officially lists four men were killed and many injured during the two month operation.
The US was very upset with Admiral Byrd’s revelations and the alien crashes at St Augustin and Roswell and they established in 1947, The National Security Act creating the National Security Council that was in charge of other intelligence on Earth and the continent of Antarctica.
American Reinhold Schmidt, a man whose father was born in Germany, and who tells in his book “Incident at Kearney”, that he was taken on a ‘flying saucer’ on several occasions. Schmidt states that “the crew spoke German and acted like German soldiers”. He also stated that they took him to the “Polar” region.
Later in 1959, the Antarctic Treaty was signed by 12 nations that protects Antarctica and any foreign intelligence that occupies this area. The area on the mainland between 90 degrees west and 150 degrees west, combined with the interior of the Norwegian Sector is the only major land on Earth not claimed by any country. Antarctica was not being set aside for protection of commercialism, but was being set aside as a possible asylum for alien, other intelligence, or a Nazi Base. The Treaty states:
Article 1 – The area is to be used for peaceful purposes only; military activity, such as weapons testing, is prohibited but military personnel and equipment may be used for scientific research or any other peaceful purpose;
Article 2 – Freedom of scientific investigations and cooperation shall continue;
Article 3 – Free exchange of information and personnel in cooperation with the United Nations and other international agencies;
Article 4 – The treaty does not recognize, dispute, nor establish territorial sovereignty claims; no new claims shall be asserted while the treaty is in force;
Article 5 – The treaty prohibits nuclear explosions or disposal of radioactive wastes. Thanks to www.wikipedia.org
Four Thousand Exoplanet Candidates
Scientists have identified eight new exoplanets, including one described as perhaps the “most Earth-like alien world.” The far-away planets were spied by NASA’s Kepler telescope, which has now identified more than 1,000 exoplanets since launching in 2009. Of the eight newly confirmed planets, three are within the so-called “habitable zone” that could hold water. Likely the most Earth-like, known as 438b, is only 12 percent larger than Earth and closer to our home planet’s temperature. It replaces 186f, discovered last year, as the closest Earth twin yet.
“These are the planets we’re looking for.”
According to NASA, 438b is 475 light-years away from Earth and orbits its star every 35.2 days. Another planet within the habitable zone, 442b, is 1,100 light-years away and orbits its star every 112 days. Both are likely rocky, like Earth.
NASA also announced 554 new planet candidates, raising its total to 4,175. More analysis will be needed to determine how many of these are actual planets, and how many may be Earth-like, but the discoveries are encouraging.
“Kepler collected data for four years, finding a thousand planet candidates each year in one small area of space. Via BBC News http://www.theverge.com/
Are Governments and Media Gearing Up For Disclosure?
UFO over Milan,Italy September 28, 2006
The amount of mainstream coverage extraterrestrials are getting is increasing, could governments around the world be prepping us for disclosure? This list contains countries that have actually disclosed, those that are in litigation to disclose all or specific files and countries that have released significant aspects of UFO and alien encounters.
Argentina, 2. Australia, 3. Brazil, 4. Canada, 5. Chile, 6. China, 7. Denmark, 8. Finland, 9. France, 10. Germany, 11. India, 12. Ireland, 13. Japan, 14. Mexico, 15. New Zealand, 16. Peru, 17. Russia, 18. Spain, 19. Sweden, 20. Ukraine, 21. United Nations, 22. United Kingdom, 23. Uruguay, and 24. Vatican City,
There was a time when the mainstream press would only cover aliens and UFO’s if it were a satirical piece, after all aliens were relegated to the realm of tin foil hats and science fiction. Recently however more and more publications are talking about the possibility of alien life like it is becoming science fact. The open discussion of these topics in publications such as The Guardian, The Daily Mail, MSNBC, and The Huffington Post discuss the possibilities of alien life and the vastness of space and the likelihood we will find alien life.
Last December, former UK Ministry of Defence employee Nick Pope discussed the possibility that governments are prepping us for alien disclosure through our news and media outlets, by openly discussing these subjects and slowly introducing the concept to the public. Mr. Pope said, “It wasn’t long ago that UFO shows were consigned to networks like Syfy, but there are now only a tiny handful of channels that won’t touch the subject. It’s gone from fringe to mainstream in a matter of a couple of years.”
The concept of alien life is without doubt slowly being introduced to the public consciousness. What do you think, are we being prepped for a big disclosure in 2015? Thanks to Gerald W. Parker Sr.
UFO Crash at St Augustin
“Art Campbell has done an incredible job of researching the recovery of a crashed flying saucer in the Plains of San Augustin in New Mexico at about the same time as the Roswell crash. He has an exciting story to tell. I highly recommend him and his program.” Stanton T. Friedman, Nuclear Physicist
The book contains some detail of the metal shard testing found at the crash site not made with known earth technology.
In 2012, a beam 13 inches long was found at the crash site. See the website www.ufocrashbook.com.

Filer's Files # 15 - 2015 - Admiral Byrd’s Warning - PART II
Sightings of UFOs in the United States
Arizona Disc
Goldfield — My family was visiting the ghost town on March 30, 2015, when my son took this picture on his phone of the backdrop of Superstition Mountain.
Notice the blue disc like object near the top of the mountain. Thanks to MUFON CMS
California Object
South Lake Tahoe– A photo was taken on March 17, 2015 at the beach area during the afternoon with a Samsung 3G Phone of scenery surrounding the lake. Several objects were only noted later when reviewing photos.
Object looks to be either entering or exiting clouds as cloud cover looks to be just covering the tip. When the photo is enlarged, the object appears to have an aura surrounding it. The objects are dark in color.
Shape of object seems to be disk shape, but looks somewhat irregular, maybe due to reflection or clouds. A second object in the distance appears to be a cylinder. Thanks to MUFON CMS #64464
Florida Light
Estero – I was sitting on my couch looking out my patio window I spotted this red ball going up and down on March 29, 2015.
As I walked out onto my patio to observe, it stopped moving and was hovering over my home. It was round and red and I was able to shoot this image. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Idaho Light
Pullman – I noticed three orange lights in the sky perhaps over Moscow, Idaho.
They were far apart in the sky but seemed to be tracking together. I got some crude photos. One of the closest got to be about 1/5th the size of a little finger width at arm’s length. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Illinois Orb
Roosevelt — I was driving my car, and looking at contrails from the planes that leave O’Hare Airport and I took one picture. Then I saw the glowing object kind of trailing the plane and I took another quick picture. Also it looks like a dove type of aura around the object too. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Edgar County – My stepson was taking pictures of call foliage in rural Edgar county didn’t notice the objects in photos until later that evening when reviewing photos on November 28, 2015.
He sent them to me and I have been baffled since I received them.
I was hoping someone could explain what this object is…notice in one picture it is above a cemetery then lands in the middle of a corn field about 200 yards away.
The objects were not seen when the pictures were taken.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Louisiana Air Force C-5 Galaxy and UFO
Pineville – A bright white light was seen traveling beside a military transport on March 4, 2015. My youngest daughter, aged 11, was watching the clouds at sunset as we normally do and observed a C5a Galaxy military aircraft flying east to west. I commented how big the contrail was and my daughter thought it was very cool. After it passed overhead, it turned to the northwest. I handed the binoculars to my daughter to watch it. She then stated. “There is something beside the plane.” I asked, “Was it flying beside or was it in different travel path?” She said. “It was beside the aircraft andshe didn’t see any wings on it that it looked like a light”. She then handed the binoculars to back to me and I observed the white light and dropping back behind the C5. The light began a westward track and had no wings or tail and disappeared. The light was similar in size to one of C5 engines. Thanks to Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldUFOphotos.org
Maryland White Rectangle
Chestertown — I was driving home from my overnight shift on March 29, 2015, and noticed a large bright white rectangular object in the sky at 9:05 AM. It simply hovered. Both my son and daughter witnessed it as well. By the time I went to grab a camera to take a photo the object was gone. I have never seen anything UFO related before and this was quite impressive. It wasn’t “cloud white,” but brighter and rectangular with a section atop on the left side that appeared to be square with an arched top (sort of a “Lego” block appearance). I went in my home to grab my Canon camera but when I returned it had simply vanished. All three of us witnessed a very large object. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com
Nebraska UFO Shoots Out of Storm
Alma– This UFO was caught on a car-cam during a storm in Nebraska on April 2, 2015. A dark object shoots past us with a disk-like shape.
UFOs have often been seen in and around storms. It is thought the lighting in the storms is caused by the UFOs or they capture the electrical energy for their propulsion system.
The more ET drones that gather in the cloud, the worst the storm gets…even causing tornados. Thanks to UFO Sightings Daily
New Jersey Orbs
Bellmawr— My night security camera is picking up a mass amount of flying objects enough to block out my screen. When I put a camera inside to see when they were flying I see them fly into my garage through concrete block walls and back out again. I had friends set down and watch them. So there’s allot more info but that will have to wait till I find someone with a desire for knowledge. I’m a retired vet with nothing better to do; this has been going on for over a year. My thought it has to do with energy. They fly in orb shape and when I ask other contacts to tell me what can fly through walls they stopped the email. Thanks to Tom
Manchester - – I was in bed with window open on March 24, 2015 a bright moonlight night, when suddenly three headlights on the sky appear outside my window in triangle a formation. They are bright, slow, hovering and gone.
Being skeptic I thought it is a stealth plane, but we have no stealth plane in NJ. If it is a plane I can follow its path and there will be blinking lights, but there is none. I run outside to see above but it is gone. I was confused, but excited Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Mexico Lights
Albuquerque— On my way home at about 1: 15 AM heading east on April 1 2015, I noticed three bright white lights in triangle shape in night sky ahead of me. As I approached more circular shaped white lights appeared in a circular shape. It seemed as if the light on top of the disc was brightest of them all. I was blinking my eyes trying to understand what I was seeing it was so close. I kept asking my boyfriend, “Are you seeing what I’m seeing?” It was hovering silently for 30-45 seconds until I pulled into my yard. It lowered down a little bit and then took off west really fast and changed shape. I was freaking out, but I realized I really was looking at a UFO. I began shaking when it started to hover over my house before it disappears in the distance. Attached is a very similar photo of what I saw. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New York Triangle
SW New York— It was mid-March 2015, on a frigid, cold and horrible night. I went outside to smoke to face the elements to do so. Shivering with the phone on my shoulder, I gazed at the beautiful starry sky from our quiet mountain top. Being a Field Investigator for the State of New York, I am constantly looking as an object caught my eye gliding smoothly across the sky. I would estimate its altitude at 1,000 feet. My guess the black triangle size would range from 100 to 150 feet across. This was no plane- civilian or military. This silent triangle glided smoothly across the sky. At all three points, there were white lights, and in the center, a larger red light. I watched this triangle glide behind a small cloud and it never came out. I hopped into my Jeep and drove to a nearby peak but I didn’t see anything. NOTE: The above image is a rendering. Thanks to Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldUFOphotos.org
Ohio Orb
Youngstown – My wife and I were returning from Boardman Ohio to Liberty Township on April 5, 2015 and we were commenting on the strange shapes of the clouds that evening. My wife was insistent on taking pictures of the clouds when we got home and took two pictures. After the pictures were taken my wife was showing them to me and pointed out the strange orb in both pictures.
It was not visible to the naked eye and was noticed only after photos were seen. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Oklahoma Triangle
Quapaw — I was looking for some old pictures that I took the same day and found this one.
I never thought much about it till I noticed the triangular object in the upper right corner taken on May 13, 1975. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Lights
El Paso— My wife, daughter, son and I were on our way home from Dairy Queen on April 1, 2015, when I spotted two bright orange balls of light in the sky. They did not have strobes or other aircraft lighting. I have been a pilot for 12-years and these objects were not airplanes. We drove out in the desert toward them and took pictures and video. They hovered at 500-1,000 feet and would disappear and then reappear in different spots. I saw as many as three orbs flying together. They disappeared and they reappeared many miles away and then sped off together at a very high rate of speed in a blink of an eye. That’s how fast.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Virginia Rectangle
Richmond — Had to take my dogs outside when I saw a very large rectangular shape in the sky and that was not moving on March 8, 2015.
It fired flares or something out of the bottom. Then I saw three very small lights streak across the sky and go into the larger aircraft.
I then went inside to grab my phone to take a picture. After taken the picture I watch it for another 5 minutes before it flew away faster than anything I have ever seen. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Washington Triangle
Seattle –The witness called to report his sighting a day after it occurred on March 8, 2015. He was waiting at the Green Lake bus stop and saw a stationary object high in the blue sky. He snapped a photo with a high resolution Samsung Galaxy S5 camera. Enlargement revealed an object of “somewhat” triangular shape with rounded edges. He then took a video with his cell phone that revealed an object that moved through the field of view in less than 1/3 second.
Note:I don’t believe that the object is a bird or insect in the video. It is moving too fast and it is in focus. It is a little early in the year for insects to be flying. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Argentina Flying Wing
Córdoba — It was 1:38 am on Friday, November 7, 2014 when I spotted a white-violet intense light outlining the clouds. I thought it might be a powerful reflector pointing upwards, when suddenly a “ship” was seen that he could follow with his eyes for 15 seconds until it disappeared into a cloud. I managed to compare this device to a plane in similar circumstances and came to the conclusion that this ship was “much” larger than any aircraft. I felt impressed, yet, “lucky”. Researching I found a similar sighting in Turlock, California on January 7, 2015. The object was “Giant”. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Australia Orb
Eagle Vale NSW— Easter Sunday 5th April 2015, a possible UFO was taken accidentally that I didn’t even notice. I was taking pictures for a screen saver of an overhead passing blimp and the unusual sun at around 11:20 to 11:35 AM. As my smart phone is adjusted to auto screen light I could hardly see the screen from the glare. I had to guess where the blimp was. Fifteen minutes later I check my pictures and I had some strange anomalies on them. After a closer look at all the photos I got curious and wondered if this was an UFO as it appeared like a white circle with a green plasma or energy formation to the right and again another one was a light pink colour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koTGASFiGU8, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXwsg6_BsCQ
I am former military and have done security and investigations for over 20 year. Thanks to Tom Sucic
Belgium White Glowing Items
Ghent– Smoking a cigarette in my garden on April 5, 2015, I was looking at the sky and I thought I saw a small flock of birds. Then I noticed that what I saw was moving too fast and was too big to be birds. It was four or five white glowing items, glowing from behind, as if the center of the glow wasn’t completely turned my way. I felt comfortable, at ease and assured during sighting and slightly excited afterwards as it dissolved. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Longlac – I know I already reported one already, but this time it happened in my hometown and it looked like the same lights that we saw when travelling home from Thunder Bay. But this time on April 1, 2015, it was lower, and moved slower, and it travelled above me going north.
There was this guy yelling down the street from me “Look up there is something above you, look up at that light, it is right above you.” The object was 100 yards from me travelling north. I tried to record it, and I got a little bit of it. This orange reddish light looked like a glowing ball of gas or something travelling in a zigzag motion. An object I saw two weeks ago was travelling at unreal speeds. This silent object was lower and slower and I watched it fly away. We are a remote community without aircraft. My head was buzzing and I had it a fuzzy feeling and I woke up with a huge migraine. Thanks to MUFON CMS
India Lights
Khorlim Canca Mapusa, Goa –The UFO Sighting occurred at 10 PM, on 22nd February 2015 after my Wedding Day with my best friend. To tell you the truth it has been a year that I have been looking for these UFO’s in the sky, and then they showed up near my place on my “Wedding Day.”
It was a great shock to me because I was very busy on that day when the UFO’s showed up. But thanks to my best friend the “Hunter” captured the UFO’s on his new mobile phone.
Note: The video has been brightened and shortened. The video shows varying scenes of airborne lights in a triangular formation. Later two of the lights disappeared. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com
Italy Orb
Venice – I was returning by car after a football game, when I noticed the “special training” of the clouds and I thought to photograph them.
I have a Samsung S3 and being in motion I thought to enter the multiple shooting, i.e. 20 shots in 2-3 seconds so as to be able to capture the image. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Korea Disk
Busan — I went to ‘Jang’ Mountain in November 19, 2014, that has an elevation of 638 meters. When I arrived on the mountain, I took a picture and I found something that looked like dot, but expanding this picture it looked like UFO! The picture is a panorama shot so I feel sure this object is UFO! Thanks to MUFON CMS
Portugal Light Clusters
Lisbon — On March 22, 2015, at 2100 hours an adult male photographed a nearby castle. He lowered the camera and sees two clusters of lights in the nighttime sky. The lights appear in the photo, as well. The witness reports that he was outside, at the time of the sighting, thereby ruling out the possibility of a reflection from the inside of window glass.
NOTE: At the time of this posting, we are considering the possibility that the lights may be lens flares, caused by pointing a camera at a very bright source of light. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.nuforc.org
Taiwan Lights
New Taipei District –This UFO was taken by a Taiwanese wedding photographer on April 2, 2015, when he was taking some photos of the night sky. He accidentally caught a blue UFO that moved around and spun as it moved. The photo was exposed for 20 seconds to make the detail stand out. During that time this blue object was caught. Although he didn’t see anything, the digital eye did. SCW
Eyewitness states on Facebook: (translated) This is a moving what??? Is it a flying rod or is it an animal in flight? It’s rotating while its moving in flight with wings, but seemingly looks like flying rod waves.
Menemen – I was going to Menemen Izmir, Turkey from Manisa on April4, 2015.
I was looking at the sky and saw that light and took a quick photo. I think there are two objects in the light beam and they are both moving.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
United Kingdom/England
Stretford– I stood on my backdoor step at 2 pm on a sunny afternoon on March 29th 2012 and looked up at an airliner with a vapor trail probably at 30.000 feet and saw something flying higher. It was not leaving a vapor trail and was going in the same trajectory but higher. It was going at least twice the airliner’s speed. I grabbed my binoculars to see an orangey white round sphere with a black grey squiggly through its centre. It was a little larger than the airliner in depth and width. A second craft came into the viewfinder but I decided to keep following the one I had in view. As it became obscured by the house roof, I went to view the other craft but it had gone and I could not find it again. The second large object did not have a black squiggly line. They both had similar shape like human hearts attached to each other. I had a very strong idea that the black squiggly line through the object I followed was not a solid structure like the rest of the craft some kind of wave as it seemed to fade. If the airliner I first saw was doing 500 mph the unidentified craft doing well over a thousand mph. Thanks to UFOinfo.com

Navy Engineer: I Saw UFOs, Aliens, And Top-Secret Bases In Antarctica!
Navy Engineer: I Saw UFOs, Aliens, And Top-Secret Bases In Antarctica!
On January 2nd, 2015 the editor of website earthfiles.com received a very unexpected letter from an alleged retired U.S. Navy Petty Officer First Class Flight Engineer.
The letter received recounts experiences where the anonymous Navy officer (refers to himself as “Brian”) recounts his bizarre and extraordinary experiences flying cargo and rescue in Antarctica between the years 1983 to 1997. He claims that a collaboration between humans and aliens exist, and that the Antarctica is a major research ground for these incredible collaborations.
Brian’s high strangeness experiences flying cargo and rescue in Antarctica were in the 1983 to 1997 time period and included several observations of aerial silver discs darting around over the Transantarctic Mountains. He and his crew also saw a big hole in the ice only about five to ten miles from the geographic South Pole (pink circle on map) that was supposed to be a No Fly Zone. But during an emergency medevac situation, they entered the No Fly Zone and saw what they were not supposed to see: an alleged entrance to a human and E. T. science research base created under the ice. Then at a camp near Marie Byrd Land, some dozen scientists disappeared for two weeks and when they re-appeared, Brian’s flight crew got the assignment to pick them up. Brian says they would not talk and “their faces looked scared.”
In the strange letter sent to Earth Files the officer states that he experienced things such as:
Silver discs darting around over the Transantarctic Mountains
During an emergency they entered a No Fly Zone and saw an entrance to a human and E. T. science research base under the ice
His crew picked up a dozen scientists who had disappeared for two weeks previous. They would not talk and their faces looked scared.
He has decided to share what he experienced between those years in the following letter, reproduced in full below:
To: earthfiles@earthfiles.com Subject: Antarctica UFO Date: January 2, 2015
Hi Linda
I am a retired United States Navy LC130 Flight Engineer that retired after 20 years of service in 1997. I have been wanting to write you for a long time about my experience on the Antarctic continent with flying vehicles that I was told not to talk about. I served part of my 20 years in the Navy with a Squadron called Antarctic Development Squadron Six or VXE-6 as it was also known. I served with this squadron from around 1983 till I retired March of 1997. Being a flight engineer and flying more then 4000 hours in that capacity I have seen things that most people have not even imagined on the Continent of Antarctica. The land there seems more alien then earthly. Our deployments to this land started in late September and ended the end of February every year until the Squadron was decommissioned in 1999. This time of year was the summer season when most of the science was done do to warmer temps and 24 hours of daylight.
During my time in the squadron I flew to almost every part of the Antarctic Continent including the South Pole more the 300 times. McMurdo Station which is 3.5 hours of flying time from the South Pole station was the point of squadron operation during our yearly deployments. Between these two stations is a mountain range called the Trans Antarctic’s. With what we called Severe Clear weather from McMurdo to South Pole the Trans Antarctic’s are visible from the altitudes which the aircraft flew approximately 25,000 to 35,000 feet. On several flights to and from South Pole our crew viewed air vehicles darting around the tops of Trans Antarctic’s almost exactly in the same spot every time we would fly by and view them. This is very unusual for air traffic down there due to the fact that the only aircraft flying on the continent were our squadron aircraft. Every aircraft knew where the other aircraft were do to flight schedules being followed.
Another unique issue with South Pole station is that our aircraft was not allowed to fly over a certain area designated 5 miles from the station. The reason stated because of a air sampling camp in that area. This did not make any sense to any of us on the crew because on 2 different occasions we had to fly over this area. One time due to a medical evacuation of the Australian camp called Davis Camp. It was on the opposite side of the continent and we had to refuel at South Pole and a direct course to this Davis Camp was right over the air sampling station. The only thing we saw going over this camp was a very large hole going into the ice. You could fly one of our LC130 into this thing.
It was after this medevac mission we where briefed by some spooks (Intelligence Agents I presumed) from Washington DC and told not to speak of the area we overflew. The other time we got close to “The air sampling Camp” we had navigation and electrical failures on the aircraft and was told to immediately depart the area and report to our squadron commanding officer when we returned to McMurdo. Needless to say our pilot (Aircraft Commander) got his butt chewed and our crew was not on the South Pole supply run for over a month. There were many other times we saw things that was out of the ordinary.
One outlying camp (near Marie Byrd Land) we dropped scientists and their equipment at was out of communication with McMurdo for 2 weeks. Our crew flew back to the camp to find out if the scientists were ok. We found no one there and no sign of any fowl play. The Radio was working fine as we called McMurdo to verify it working properly. We left the camp and flew back to McMurdo as ordered by our CO. A week later the Scientist showed back up to there camp and called McMurdo for someone to come pick them up. Our crew got the flight back there to pick them since we put them into that camp and we knew the terrain and location. None of the scientists would talk to any of the crew on the plane and to me they looked scared.
As soon as we landed back at McMurdo they (Scientists) where put on another of our squadron aircraft and flown to Christchurch New Zealand. We never heard about them again. Their equipment that we brought back from the camp was put in quarantine and shipped back to the United States escorted by the same spooks that debriefed us about our fly over of the air sample camp/ large hole in the ice. I could go on and on about things and situations that I observed during my tour with VXE-6. Talk among the flight crews was that there is a UFO base at South Pole and some of the crew heard talk from some of the scientist working at the Pole of EBEs working with and interacting with the scientists at that air sampling camp/large ice hole.

SUMMARY
There appears to be many secrets hidden in the Antarctica and we are pretty much hearing different stories every month about military personnel disclosing information about Aliens in that part of the world!
But what a great secluded part of the world for the Aliens to keep out of sight from prying eyes….or so they thought!
"We received reports from one end to another throughout the island, as many observers were able to see it from towns like Rincon, Ponce, San Juan, and even Vieques," said SAC.
The educational agency said the huge meteor showed colors between blue and green, but curiously then changed its color to a shade between orange and yellow. Eddie Irizarry, vice president of the SAC, said that the colors of a meteor allow us to know more about the content of the space rock.
"The blue-green that many noted at the beginning of the sightings suggest that the rock had magnesium, while the color which then later was seen between orange and yellow, is indicative that the meteor also contained sodium, similar to the impressive meteor which entered the skies of Russia in February 2013", Irizarry said.
SAC said the meteor moved from the zenith (highest point in the sky) to the northeast.
"We continue to investigate the sighting of this colorful meteor and are comparing images that we obtained from different parts of the island," said the organization.

Green clouds of gas tens of thousands of light-years wide blaze in a series of stunning new images captured by the Hubble Space Telescope.
The eight eerie objects betray the past presence of quasars, the most luminous objects in the universe, whose powerful beams of radiation lend the clouds their ethereal glow, researchers said.
"In each of these eight images, a quasar beam has caused once-invisible filaments in deep space to glow through a process called photoionization," officials with the European Space Agency (ESA), which partners with NASA on the Hubble project, wrote in a statement. [See photos of the glowing green space clouds]
"Oxygen, helium, nitrogen, sulphur and neon in the filaments absorb light from the quasar and slowly re-emit it over many thousands of years," the officials added. "Their unmistakable emerald hue is caused by ionized oxygen, which glows green."
Quasars are incredibly bright galactic cores powered by supermassive black holes. As gas and dust fall toward the black hole from its surrounding "accretion disk," the material heats up to tremendously high temperatures. This process can result in a quasar, which blasts jets of high-energy radiation and particles out into space.
The quasars that lit up the eight gas clouds spotted by Hubble have since died out; the clouds lie far from the centers of their respective galaxies, so it took many thousands of years for the quasars' beams to reach the clouds.
Violent galactic mergers probably formed the clouds themselves, ESA officials said.
"Galactic mergers do not just alter the forms of the previously serene galaxies involved; they also trigger extreme cosmic phenomena," ESA officials wrote in the statement. "Such a merger could also have caused the birth of a quasar, by pouring material into the galaxies' supermassive black holes."
The first glowing green space cloud was spotted in 2007 by Dutch schoolteacher Hanny van Arkel, and as a result was called "Hanny's Voorwerp" (which means "Hanny's Object" in Dutch). Van Arkel found the cloud while participating in an online Galaxy Zoo project that asked volunteers to classify more than 1 million galaxies catalogued in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS).
The eight glowing clouds newly imaged by Hubble were first discovered by citizen scientists as well: A Galaxy Zoo spinoff project tasked 200 people with searching 16,0000 SDSS galaxy images for objects that resemble Hanny's Voorwerp, ESA officials said.
Astronomers went through the volunteers' finds and identified 20 different galaxies that contained quasar-illuminated clouds. The researchers are publishing their results in The Astronomical Journal.
The eight clouds featured in the new Hubble images are found in the following galaxies (clockwise from top left in main image): 2MASX J14302986+1339117, NGC 5972, 2MASX J15100402+0740370, UGC 7342, 2MASX J22014163+1151237, UGC 11185, Mrk 1498 and NGC 5252.
Ancient Submerged Temple Discovered Beneath Lake Titicaca
Ancient Submerged Temple Discovered Beneath Lake Titicaca
According to an article posted by the BBC back on August 23 , 2000, the ruins of an ancient temple were found submerged beneath Lake Titicaca (the world's deepest and highest navigable lake) by members of the expedition “Atahuallpa 2000" (backed by international scientific group Akakor Geographical Exploring).
They discovered the sacred temple (found between the town of Copacabana, the Island of the Sun and Island of the Moon) after following a submerged road, in an area of the lake not far from Copacabana town.
The holy temple measures 200m by 50m (660ft by 160ft) almost twice the size of an average football pitch. A terrace for crops, a long road and an 800-metre (2,600 feet) long wall was also found.
Dating at least 1,000 to 1,500 years ago, the ruins are said to be pre-Incan, attributed to the indigenous Tiwanaku or Tiahuanaco people, said Lorenzo Epis, the Italian scientist leading the Atahuallpa 2000 scientific expedition.
Legends of lost city
The lake has long drawn fascination with various legends around it, including one of an underwater city called Wanaku and another of Inca gold lost by the Spanish.
The Incas also regarded the lake as the birthplace of their civilization, and in their myth, the Children of The Sun emerged out of the waters.
For centuries the locals have spoken of a lost underwater City of Wanaku. Could this discovery prove that such a city did actually exist?
Lying on the lake bed was a giant figurine of a human head, that upon comparison looked identical to the stone works in found in the nearby city of Tiahuanaco, just 12 miles south of Lake Titicaca.
Stories of the lost treasure were enough to draw the famous French oceanographer Jacques Cousteau to explore the lake. However, he discovered only ancient pottery and a large species of aquatic frog. National Geographic also launched an expedition in 1988.

Por Bajin: The Mystery - nobody knows what it is - hidden in Siberia
Por Bajin: The Mystery - nobody knows what it is - hidden in Siberia
April 7, 2015 - ON A small island in the middle of a remote lake in Siberia lies a puzzling sight.
Welcome to the Por Bajin (also spelt Por-Bazhyn) ruins, located between the Sayan and Altai ranges, close to the Mongolian border. It’s an area almost completely unaffected by civilisation.
And nobody knows exactly what the Por Bajin is.
While it looks like a fortress at first glance, with its towering walls and foreboding shape, not all is as it seems. Experts believe the 1300-year-old structure actually contains a summer palace and a monastery. But nobody has been able to prove it.
While the site was first explored in 1891, it wasn’t until 2007 that proper research took place, the Siberian Times reports. They discovered a distinctive Chinese influence — from the use of certain roof tiles to the building methods, further adding to the intrigue.
The Por-Bajin Cultural Foundation, the official site for the complex, outlines some of the main questions that have yet to be answered: “Apparently, it was built at the period of the Uighur Khaganate (744-840). But it is not clear what did they build a fortress for in such a solitary place — far from big settlements and trade routes.
“It is also unclear whether Por-Bajin was a defensive structure, a Buddhist or Manichaean temple or a summer residence of Khagan. There is even a version that there was an ancient observatory in it. The architecture of the fortress also produces many questions.
“It has been unknown for long whether the structure was built on the island or the lake was formed later, around the already built fortress.”
The purpose of the structure isn’t the only thing that’s mysterious — it’s believed that it was abandoned after a short time. With no evidence that it came under attack, why did they leave?

Jupiter, Destroyer of Worlds, May Have Paved the Way for Earth
Jupiter, Destroyer of Worlds, May Have Paved the Way for Earth
Jupiter may have paved the way for Earth's
formation early in our solar system's history.
NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute
Careening toward the sun, Jupiter cleared the way for Earth to form—with help from Saturn, too
In Greco-Roman mythology Jupiter is the king of the gods, a deity who destroyed an older race of titans to become the jealous and vengeful lord of heaven and Earth. Strange though it may seem, scientific theory lends credence to this historical fiction. As the largest, heaviest object orbiting our sun, Jupiter’s namesake world is the lord of planets, a dominant force in the solar system. Eons ago, while flinging leftover debris from planetary formation out of our solar system, Jupiter probably also tossed some down toward our primordial globe, delivering some of the water that now fills our oceans. Jupiter still shepherds swarms of asteroids, occasionally sending some whizzing harmlessly into interstellar space or on destructive collision courses with Earth and other planets. Jupiter may have even played a role in the asteroid-linked extinction of the dinosaurs about 66 million years ago, an event that ushered in the reign of our mammalian ancestors. Without Jupiter, humans might not exist. A new study, however, suggests that without Jupiter, Earth itself might not exist either. Where this and the other rocky planets now orbit there may have first been a previous generation of worlds destined to be bigger, gas-shrouded, utterly uninhabitable orbs. But Jupiter came swinging in, clearing the way for small worlds like Earth by destroying those older planets. The study, co-authored by California Institute of Technology planetary scientist Konstantin Batygin and University of California, Santa Cruz, astrophysicist Greg Laughlin, appeared in the March 23 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. A hole in the solar system There are hundreds of reasons to suspect that our solar system used to have more and bigger inner planets—the hundreds of multiplanetary systems discovered by planet-hunting projects such as NASA’s Kepler mission. Although our solar system is essentially empty inward of Mercury, equivalent regions around most other stars appear to be packed with close-in, intermediate-mass planets—those between the size of Earth and Neptune. Hopeful astronomers have dubbed these worlds “super-Earths” but most of them seem to be more like hydrogen-rich, gas-shrouded mini-Neptunes—very unearthly indeed. “Now that we can look at our own solar system in the context of all these other planetary systems,” Laughlin says, “the standard-issue planetary system in our galaxy seems to be a set of super-Earths with alarmingly short orbital periods. Our solar system is looking increasingly like an oddball.” If so, the obvious question is how it got that way. According to Batygin, there’s no reason to suspect that the actual process of planet formation occurred very differently around our sun than around other stars. Instead, the explanation for our solar system’s outlier status may be found in the details of its subsequent evolution—controlled to a remarkable degree by Jupiter. Migrating worlds Astronomers used to consider planetary systems reasonably static and stable. Planets would coalesce out of the swirling disks of gas and dust around young stars, a bit like trees springing up from dirt, putting down roots and scarcely budging from where they were born. Small, rocky planets would form in the intense light and heat close to stars, whereas gas-giant planets would form farther out, where cold temperatures preserved more gassy feedstock. Small or large, gassy or rocky, most planets would move about their stars in pristine, near-circular orbits. All this cohered with our understanding of our own solar system. But we may have been wildly mistaken about what is the norm. Twenty years ago when astronomers found the first planets orbiting other stars, they also began realizing that planetary systems are chaotic places. Some planets did not orbit in near-circles but in oblong “eccentric” paths that took them swinging close and then far from their stars—almost as if they had been thrown off-kilter by the gravitational influence of other worlds. And most of the newfound giant planets were very different than Jupiter—in scorching, star-hugging orbits far inward from the cold outer regions where they must have formed. Planets could migrate, too, propelled by gentle interactions with their formative disks or by close encounters with their planetary siblings. Ever since those discoveries researchers have been grappling with the idea of planetary migration to better understand not only the features of other planetary systems, but our own. One example is the “grand tack” scenario, which posits that in the first few million years of our solar system’s existence Jupiter migrated into and then back out of the inner solar system, following a course similar to a sailboat’s when it tacks around a buoy. Back then Jupiter would have still been embedded in a gas-rich disk. Much of that gas was spiraling down toward the sun—so much that the action would have sapped some of Jupiter’s angular momentum, too, causing the giant planet itself to spiral in to the vicinity of where Mars is today. Jupiter would have kept falling in toward the sun if not for being caught by the subsequent formation of Saturn, which began drifting in as well. As the two giant planets came closer together, they were caught in an orbital resonance. This resonance expelled all the gas between them, gradually reversing their death spirals and causing them to “tack” back out to the outer solar system. As outlandish as it seems, the physical mechanisms underlying the grand tack hypothesis are sound and there are good reasons to suspect it took place. The scenario neatly explains Mars’s anomalously small size, which theorists believe should be larger, given how much planet-forming material should have existed long ago in its orbit. In the grand tack Jupiter would have ejected most of that material, leaving behind just enough for Mars to form. The hypothesis also helps explain the distribution of icy and rocky bodies in the Asteroid Belt and various other features of the solar system. The grand attack In their study Batygin and Laughlin investigated whether Jupiter’s grand tack could explain the gaping hole at the heart of our solar system, too. Using numerical simulations, the duo examined what the grand tack would do to a hypothetical embryonic population of super-Earths caught in mid-formation. The simulations suggested that Jupiter’s inward spiral would send swarms of 100-kilometer-wide planetary building blocks cascading into the inner solar system. The giant planet’s gravity would also sling those building blocks and the inner planets themselves into overlapping, elliptical orbits, creating an interplanetary demolition derby of whirling, colliding fragmenting worlds. “It’s the same thing we worry about if satellites were to be destroyed in low Earth orbit,” Laughlin says. “Their fragments would start smashing into other satellites and you’d risk a chain reaction of collisions. Our work indicates that Jupiter would have created just such a collisional cascade in the inner solar system.” Although these collisions would have been spectacularly violent, they could not by themselves entirely destroy the coalescing super-Earths. Instead, the avalanche of debris from the collisions would have raised powerful aerodynamic headwinds in the surrounding solar system disk, forming spiraling swirls of gas that then swept the first generation of inner rocky planets down into the sun. “It’s a very effective physical process,” Batygin says. “You only need a few Earth masses worth of material to drive tens of Earth masses worth of planets into the sun.” Beyond observations of other planetary systems suggesting that ours is an outlier, there is scant evidence that our sun formed and lost an earlier generation of inner worlds. But Laughlin finds the technical strength and sweetness of the idea compelling. “This kind of theory, where first this happened and then that happened, is almost always wrong, so I was initially skeptical,” he says. “But it actually involves generic processes that have been extensively studied by other researchers…. Jupiter’s ‘grand tack’ may well have been a ‘grand attack’ on the original inner solar system.” A lonelier planet After Jupiter’s grand attack, only whiffs of volatile gas and dregs of shattered rock would remain, but Batygin notes that only about 10 percent of the total material Jupiter may have injected into the inner solar system would have been required to form Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. As Jupiter reversed its course and spiraled back to the outer solar system, its passage could have settled a fraction of the dregs into more circular orbits. Across a span of one hundred million to two hundred million years those meager, volatile-depleted dregs would then glom together to make the relatively small and arid inner planets we know today. All this is consistent with a wealth of other evidence suggesting the inner rocky planets formed significantly later than the outer giants, and explains why the sun’s inner worlds are smaller and have thinner atmospheres than those observed around other stars. The picture that emerges is that we may be even more cosmically alone than previously appreciated. “One of the predictions of our theory is that truly Earth-like planets, with solid surfaces and modest atmospheric pressures, are rare,” Laughlin says. If true, Batygin and Laughlin’s study would mean that the vast majority of close-in, potentially rocky and habitable planets we now observe around so many other stars may not turn out to be rocky or habitable at all. Instead, visiting them you’d be crushed, cooked and smothered beneath their thick hydrogen-rich atmospheres. The study also suggests that far-out Jupiters are very uncommon around other stars; rather than only briefly visiting inner systems, most giant planets would migrate there to stay, potentially precluding the formation of Earth-like worlds. In this view, it may really be Saturn that we must thank for being here, because the Ringed Planet’s existence may have kept Jupiter from settling closer to the sun. Which, with poetic license, brings us back to mythology—where Saturn was Jupiter’s father as well as the god responsible for Earth’s wealth, pleasure and plenty. Next time you look up at the heavens, uncrushed and uncooked beneath a clear, hydrogen-free sky, don’t thank your lucky stars—thank Jupiter and Saturn.
