As long as UFOs have been reported, USOs have also been reported. Supposedly, even Christopher Columbus wrote of these objects. These supposed flying objects plunge into and out of bodies of water. It has added a whole new dimension to the concept of where UFOs come from and what they want. Assumptions have been made that aliens have “bases” underwater where we will not be able to run across them as we would on land. Perhaps the most famous case of a USO was the Shag Harbor incident in Shag Harbor, Nova Scotia Canada in 1967. Wikipedia: On the night of October 4, 1967, at about 11:20 p.m. Atlantic Daylight Time, it was reported that something had crashed into the waters of the Gulf of Maine near Shag Harbour. At least eleven people saw a low-flying lit object head towards the harbour. Multiple witnesses reported hearing a whistling sound “like a bomb,” then a “whoosh,” and finally a loud bang. The object was never officially identified, and was therefore referred to as an unidentified flying object (UFO) in Government of Canada documents. The Canadian military became involved in a subsequent rescue/recovery effort. The initial report was made by local resident Laurie Wickens and four of his friends. Driving through Shag Harbour on Highway 3, they spotted a large object descending into the waters off the harbour. Attaining a better vantage point, Wickens and his friends saw an object floating 250 m (820 ft) to 300 m (980 ft) offshore in the Gulf of Maine. Wickens contacted the RCMP detachment in Barrington Passage and reported he had seen a large airplane or small airliner crash into the Gulf of Maine. Divers took to the water after many people reported seeing a craft go into the harbor. There was much conjecture that the US military also dropped in on the scene and covered some things up. Inquiry into aircraft reported that all aircraft in the area was accounted for. Ultimately, rescuers after days of searching proclaimed nothing was found. I actually find USOs to be more interesting because of the concept of underwater bases or getaways. Lots of possibilities when UFOs don't have to be coming and going from a mother ship or a far away planet.

Andrew Danziger flew President Obama during 2008 election campaign, Claims to have seen a UFO on flight between Kansas and Iowa in 1989. Saw a ‘giant red ball’ flying parallel to his jet in the sky for 30 seconds. The aircraft captain revealed that nearly all pilots believe in UFOs.
A pilot who contributes articles to New York Daily News, recently wrote an article about UFOs and commercial pilots, and he included his own incredible UFO sighting. The title of the article is “Do pilots believe in UFOs? Many of them do and here is my close encounter story,” and it is written by Andrew Danziger. According to New York Daily News, Danziger is a 28 year airline veteran. He has served as a captain on international flights for the last 14 years. He has also been an instructor, and was even one of President Obama’s pilots during the 2008 campaign. Here is an excerpt of his UFO encounter: (Read the full story Here It was April 10, 1989 and early in my career. After a short taxi and take-off, Air Traffic Control (ATC) cleared us to our cruise altitude of 15,000 feet. We established a Northeasterly heading, pointed strait at Waterloo, about 200 miles ahead. Despite the presence of these clearly visible wispy clouds everywhere, we weren’t flying through any of them. There was also a white disc dimly but clearly visible through those clouds just off to our right. We flew on and I commented to Bruce, the captain, about this dimly visible disc. He said that he’d been watching the same thing since we had leveled off. We spent 20 to 30 minutes at our cruise altitude, all the while staring at this white disc dimly visible through some clouds that we somehow never seemed to fly through. 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. Above the clouds, where the white disc had been, was a now giant red ball it was flying parallel to our course. We slowly lost altitude and at around 13,000 feet, the brightly glowing ball began a gradual descent, too. As it did, it slowly started disappearing behind those wispy clouds. In about 30 seconds, like a setting sun but not nearly as bright, it vanished behind the clouds. The instant it fully disappeared, hundreds of lights began flashing from within the clouds. 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.
Andrew Danziger: “This very same thing has been reported by pilots countless times and while neither of us had any idea what we had saw one thing we were certain of, it wasn’t from here.”
HUGH SOLID RED BALL SHADOWS NAVY JET OVER PENSACOLA
On the night of Feb. 6, 1975, Marine Reserve Squadron Capt. Larry Jividen was piloting a T-39D Sabreliner (see image above) combat trainer and utility aircraft with five Naval officer pilots on board for a special training flight. He didn’t know the evening would evolve into a game of “tag” with an unidentified flying object.
Jividen hasn’t spoken about that experience from nearly 40 years ago — until now. The nine-year Marine Corps captain — and later commercial airline pilot — had taken off at twilight for a two-hour roundtrip that began and ended at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Fla. “At about 9 o’clock, we were descending from a high altitude — around 33,000 feet — and I looked off to the right side of the airplane where I saw a solid red light at our 1:00 o’clock position and altitude.” “It was not flashing like normal anti-collision lights flash on airplanes. I thought it might be some other traffic, but I wasn’t sure, so I called Pensacola Approach Control and said, ‘Understand we’re cleared for the approach, but we have traffic off to our right, and who’s first for the approach?”
The traffic that Jividen and the other five crew members saw was mutually described as “a solid, circular object about the relative size of a kid’s marble held at arm’s length,” Jividen recalled. When they were informed that ground control had no other traffic in their vicinity, Jividen became concerned that the mysterious object hadn’t shown up on radar. So he asked for clearance to deviate from their approach and turn directly toward the bright red UFO “just to see what it does.” As he turned toward the object, Jividen says it turned toward his plane. “It suddenly flew from right to left, across the nose [of our plane], and just stopped at our 11:00 o’clock position. At that point, I started to speed up to see if I could close on the object, and as I sped up, it was pacing me in front. In other words, as I’d speed up, he’d speed up. “So, I decided to descend to place the object against a star field to make sure that it was actually solid, and then I climbed so that I could silhouette the object against the Gulf of Mexico.”
Jividen says the five-minute encounter came to an end when the reddish UFO sped away at a very high rate and disappeared over the horizon in the direction of New Orleans. After the crew returned to Pensacola, Jividen filled out an incident form and that was the last he heard of the episode. And nobody else heard about it for more than three decades.

A Delaware witness at New Castle reported watching a fast moving object before it turned at a right angle and disappeared about 4:28 a.m. on April 28, 2015, according to testimony in Case 65033 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was outside on a work break sitting in a car when a bright light was seen moving at a high rate of speed left to right in the sky.
“My first thought was a shooting star, but the light was too low and too bright,” the witness stated. “As the light moved past I was looking for blinking lights, but there were none. My window was also down and there was no sound.”
The witness described the object’s movement.
“The object appeared to turn south at a 90-degree angle and then shoot off. The light did not diminish, but the farther it moved away, it dimmed. No trail or change of color or shape was noticed. There were no red or green wing lights observed as would be on a plane.”

The object seemed to move faster than known aircraft.
“The distance covered by the object would have taken a plane 20-30 seconds to cover. The object covered it in two to three seconds. The object did appear to be lower than commercial air craft as the planes are landing in Philly airport. There is a National Guard station in Newcastle about the same distance away from me. I also thought it might be a helicopter, but no sound and absent blinking lights and the speed of the light.”
New Castle is a city in New Castle County, Delaware, population 5,285.
Delaware is currently a UFO Alert Level 5 – with 1.09 sightings per million population based on MUFON February 2015 statistics. Delaware received a total of one UFO reports in March.

Disclosure is one of the most frequently used words in theUFOcommunity. Popularized by the likes of Dr. Steven Greer and Steve Bassett, the term has become so key a concept that it’s habitually capitalized, and has become the desired end-state for many, when it comes to ufology. People have varying ideas about what might lead to Disclosure, and what the consequences would be, but it’s fair to say that there’s a fairly standard (and clichéd) view of what Disclosure would look like.

THE MERRY MONTH OF MAY AND OUR PAGAN HERITAGEby Pat Regan.
This wonderful month gains its name from the Roman/Greek fertility goddess ‘Maia’, mother of the god Mercury. She was equated with Fauna, Cybele and Ops; goddesses who were greatly cherished by the masses. Fauna's celebration was held on the first night of May. It was a hallowed event restricted to women, as the men honoured Fauna's masculine consort, Faunus, instead. More..

GIANT UFO CAUSED TRAFFIC JAM!by Scott Corrales.
It was Thursday, September 5, 1968. Six o’clock in the afternoon. The sun was about dip behind Madrid’s horizon when an unidentified flying object rose in the sky. The strange object had a strange spherical shape and remained static and illuminated. As time went by, drivers and pedestrians in Madrid gathered to look at the object. No one knew what it could be. Night begins to fall, but averting one’s gaze from the sky seems to be impossible. More....
MOTHERSHIPS OR HUGE ALIENS?by Chris Holly.
I was talking with a friend of mine whom I have known since the third grade. We were talking about the changes that have taken place on Long Island New York over the last 50 years. We were discussing the days when we had only one highway to drive to the end of Long Island in order to reach Montauk Point. The Montauk Point area is also the location of Plum Island and Camp Hero. During the 1940's until recently both were active extremely strange institutions of secret ominous activates with long lists of odd events happening for many years following World War II. Long Islanders considered them dangerous if not evil places. More...

UFOs DEEMED DEMONIC PART Vby Doc Vega.
The most compelling evidence that points toward UFO's being not what they seem when they already draw a big enough question mark lies in the vague and illusive accounts of diabolical operations, sudden deaths, and government secrecy. History is not always what it seems, and especially not as it has been in the books all the time either. The following is ground I have covered in the past with a twist on interpretation. it may be that this version of the events may indeed be the final explanation. More...
COSMOS SPACE TIME TRAVELby Theresa J Morris.
I know that in my universe of galaxies and worlds exist black holes that we do not understand yet however, some of us do due to what we call worm holes and worm travel beyond the imagination in this way of existence we now perceive as reality. It may be that physicists are still trying to understand that which some of us already understand and knows exist in our way of being, doing, having, and knowing. More...
UFOs DEEMED DEMONIC PART IVby Doc Vega.
The continuing controversy over the origin and ulterior motive behind the UFO phenomena continues to baffle both proponents and skeptics alike. It is clear that this is not a transparent issue either from the perspective of the government involvement or coming directly from the source itself. While at a UFO Crash Retrieval Conference in Las Vega a number of years ago one speaker guest of Ryan and his father Robert Woods mentioned an interesting analogy. More...
SAINT GEORGE'S DAY: A FEW HOME TRUTHSby Pat Regan.
Saint George's Day is nothing more than a counterfeit Christian celebration, based on much earlier native Pagan tradition. It’s about as ‘English’ as a microbe on a far distant planet. Perceptive early Church promoters of the foreign eastern Christ sect soon misled the English Nation into believing that the George tradition was theirs alone. Nothing in fact could be further from the truth! The dragon is a euphemism for an older, earth-orientated spiritual tradition that numerous cross-waving religious ‘crusaders’, even today, wish to crush out of existence? More...
SACRED GEOMETRY ACROSS THE UNIVERSEby Deanna Jaxine Stinson.
Sacred Geometry is the art of putting religious significance into geometric shapes and design. This stems from the beliefs that God designed the world according to a geometric blueprint. In nature we can see the various examples of patterning such as a nautilus shell spiral which has a perfect mathematical equation hidden in its matter. Examples of synthetic structures built to mimic sacred geometry are churches and cathedrals. Sacred geometry is the imprint of structure and spirit, mathematics and nature rolled into one. More...

It was Thursday, September 5, 1968. Six o’clock in the afternoon. The sun was about dip behind Madrid’s horizon when an unidentified flying object rose in the sky. The strange object had a strange spherical shape and remained static and illuminated. As time went by, drivers and pedestrians in Madrid gathered to look at the object. No one knew what it could be. Night begins to fall, but averting one’s gaze from the sky seems to be impossible. The astonishment of the crowds wound up creating a colossal traffic jam on Gran Vía, one of the city’s major avenues.
“It’s a balloon.”
“No, it’s a satellite.”
“But it moves.”
“No, it’s still.”
“Don’t tell me you believe in flying saucers?”
“No. I only believe in what I can see.”
Such were the comments overheard in this paper’s newsroom. The object could also be seen from the windows of the old office facing Paseo de la Castellana. Minutes past eight o’clock in the evening – two hours after the initial sighting – the UFO vanished toward the direction of Casa de Campo.
The winds of the upper troposphere and the lower stratosphere blew from the east and southeast respectively, while the object appeared to move slowly toward the southeast. “This leads us to suppose that it moved on its own, moving against the prevailing wind or that its height was far higher,” explained ABC’s editor in his column.
“It is a UFO, without question,” stated the spokesman of the Weather Bureau. According to his testimony, it was neither a weather balloon nor any kind of tethered experimental balloon, as it had not been detected from Barajas Airport. It did not leave a visible trail for the instruments at the Torrejón de Ardoz air base. The object’s identity could not be ascertained from Robledo de Chavela [Madrid Deep Space Communication Complex] and strangest of all, not even the radar station at Paracuellos del Jarama had picked up the UFO’s signal.
NASA stap dichter bij warpdrive die je in vier uur naar de maan brengt
NASA stap dichter bij warpdrive die je in vier uur naar de maan brengt
Goed nieuws voor mensen die sneller dan het licht door ons zonnestelsel willen reizen. NASA werkt aan een revolutionaire nieuwe manier van ruimtereizen, die ons op een dag in staat kan stellen om ongelooflijke snelheden te bereiken.
De nieuwe technologie is gebaseerd op de zogeheten EmDrive. De Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie heeft het apparaat nu voor het eerst succesvol getest in een vacuüm.
De EmDrive zet elektrische energie om in voortstuwing en kan zonder brandstof door de ruimte reizen. De werking van het apparaat wordt tot in detail uitgelegd op de website NASASpaceFlight.com.
Amerikaanse, Britse en Chinese wetenschappers hebben in de afgelopen 15 jaar de werking van de EmDrive aangetoond, maar het apparaat is controversieel omdat het in strijd lijkt te zijn met de klassieke natuurkunde.
Door de succesvolle test komt elektromagnetische voortstuwing opeens een stuk dichterbij. Als de EmDrive kan worden ingebouwd in toekomstige ruimtevaartuigen, worden ruimtereizen een stuk korter, goedkoper en efficiënter. Het zou dan ook mogelijk moeten worden om sneller dan het licht te reizen.
Met een EmDrive duurt een reisje naar de maan nog geen vier uur en ben je in minder dan 100 jaar bij Alpha Centauri. De technologie die dit allemaal mogelijk moet gaan maken, wordt op dit moment getest in het Johnson Space Center in Texas.
Vorige week berichtten wij reeds dat na een kleine stille periode er wederom een UFO bij het Internationale Ruimtestation (ISS) was gesignaleerd.
Nu is diezelfde ufo terug en is NASA zo vriendelijk geweest om (per ongeluk) in te zoomen op dit object via de live stream.
De volgende beelden zijn wederom vastgelegd door de bekende Youtube gebruiker Streetcap1 en het betreft hoogstwaarschijnlijk beelden van de UFO die ook eerder bij het ISS werd gesignaleerd.
De UFO werd ook door NASA opgemerkt en deze zoomde in op het vreemde object dat daar hing.
Op een gegeven moment worden de beelden, zoals gebruikelijk, door NASA onderbroken. Het feit dat zij de UFO opmerkten en erop in zoomden geeft aan dat ze deze UFO daar op dat moment waarschijnlijk niet hadden verwacht en lichtelijk verrast waren door de gebeurtenis.
Het verschijnen van dit object zou misschien ook iets te maken kunnen hebben met dat de geplande levering van nieuwe voorraden door de Russische raket niet door ging. Misschien behoort deze UFO bij de aardse geheime ruimtevloot en wordt deze voor nu gebruikt als alternatief bevoorradingsschip.
Ana Luisa Cid uploaded a video of the alleged UFO to YouTube, describing it as "Luminous object near the plume, captured on 22 April 2015." She added, "Some believe it may be a drone or a police helicopter. What is striking, in my opinion, is that the object remained static, then vanished. Optical illusion?"
The flying object remains unidentified, but UFO researcher Marc Dantonio, believes it most likely is a drone.
Dantonio, of FX Models, previously created a "UFO" drone for a National Geographic special and is the chief photo and video analyst for the Mutual UFO Network.
When Dantonio first looked at Cid's video, he considered that the two-sphere object in question might have been a simple CGI effect, added to the volcano video.
But, after looking at other videos of the same eruption event, he's changed his opinion.
"In at least one video of this eruption, you can see what I have identified as a definite drone," Dantonio told The Huffington Post in an email. "It appears to be a Phantom 2 drone, based on the lighting pattern. This drone was captured by several witnesses in a video compilation of five different videos of 'the UFO.'
"In the compilation of those five videos, there is one that shows the two-sphere object from a different perspective and this new perspective indicates that the object/drone was far closer to the observers than to the volcano. I believe it was launched in the town and brought up to altitude where it held station to observe the ash plume."
Dantonio's assessment: "We are looking at a drone that is relatively high and nearby, and the drone pilot is capturing video of the ash plume."
Although Dantonio's explanation is plausible, UFO sightings are fairly common in Chile.

Mysterious string of multicolored lights spotted over San Diego
Mysterious string of multicolored lights spotted over San Diego
May 1, 2015 -This video was taken by our NBC 7 crew in San Ysidro. Several viewers also told us about the lights. Some said they appeared to be red, blue, and green and kept flashing and changing colors. Some who saw them say the lights didn't seem to move, like those on a plane or a drone. We put in calls to the military here to see if they could identify what these were. So far, no response.
Did you see those mysterious lights southwest of San Diego on Tuesday night?
A viewer sent us several photos he took, capturing a string of multicolored lights in the sky above San Diego. The viewer, Larry Fox, said the lights that appeared to be red, blue and green kept flashing and changing colors from his vantage point in Del Cerro.

City Found 360 Feet Below Missouri City, Giant Human Skeleton Found
City Found 360 Feet Below Missouri City, Giant Human Skeleton Found
May 1, 2015 - Coal miners in the city of Moberly, Missouri mining a shaft 360 feet deep, broke into a cavern revealing “a wonderful buried city,” multiple sources reported in 1885.
Incredible rude style masonry and artifacts have been identified. Including stone benches, bronze and flint knives, stone and granite hammers, metal statues, metallic saws and a stone fountain that flowed with “perfectly pure water”, which was found to be impregnated with lime.
“Lying beside the fountain were portions of a human being and from measurement of the bones it concluded that when alive the figure was three times the size of an ordinary man and possessed of wonderful muscular power and quickness. “, according to the St Paul Daily Globe.
The Semi-Weekly South Kentuckian published the measurements of the giants leg, “The bones of the leg were measured , the femur measuring 4 and 1/2 feet, the tibia four feet and three inches. The head bones had separated in two pieces, the sagittal and cornal suturis having been destroyed”
The city was arched in by a hard and thick stratum of lava. The civilization used a regularly laid out road system enclosed by walls to travel around. A hall was discovered wherein were stone benches, tools of all descriptions for mechanical service.
The searching party spent twelve hours in the depths and only gave up explorations because of the oil in their lamps being low. No end to the wonderful discovery was reached.
The statues were not accurately made as those made by the mechanics in the year 1885, however they demonstrated much skill and an evidence of an advanced civilization.
The facts above are vouched for by Mr. David Coates, the recorder of the city of Moberly, and Mr. George Kealing, City Marshall, who were of the exploring party.
I could find no record of the 2nd exploration. Perhaps in the historic papers on film, in the town of Moberly, information may still exist.
In order to find 8 newspaper stories I needed to search “stratum of lava” 1884-1886.
In an odd coincidence the terms “cave + Missouri”, “Missouri + cave + coal mine”, “Missouri cave fountain”, “Missouri gaint” and countless other rational terms would not locate these articles on the library of congress website.
It seems you need to be clever in your search terms in order to locate historical articles that are relevant.
Roger and his family lived in New York City, in the Bronx specifically. It was late June 1966, Roger, his wife, daughter 12 and two sons, ages eight and six, decided to get up before sun rise and hit the open road for a day trip to Pennsylvania. The family of six were traveling south on the Throgs Neck suspension bridge just prior to sunrise.
“We were probably about 2/3 of the way across the bridge, when the entire family witnessed a huge green orb UFO hovering above the bridge. My wife and the two boys were excited, yelling to me to look. I remember that it was so close to the bridge that my daughter began screaming because she thought this orb was going to hit the bridge and knock it down.”
Roger tells us that the entire sighting lasted probably no longer than 30 seconds and no one in the car remembers observing this green orb flying away. He says that it just seemed to disappear. What has bothered Roger all these years is that some of the family members clearly remember the event and other have clearly forgotten it. “I think that it is very odd that something that amazing could be so easily forgotten. “
“The huge green orb UFO had no distinguishing marks and the entire family agrees that it was not the moon or the sun. As for the size of the orb, I would say it was a the size of a football field in diameter and I might be underestimating it by quite a bit. The distance that it was from the bridge was perhaps 300 or 400yds.”
Roger told us that the family discussed the sighting briefly after the initial sighting, then it wasn’t spoken of again for nearly two decades.
“It was about 20 years later at a family reunion when someone brought up the subject of UFOs. Then for some odd reason we all remembered the incident like it happened yesterday.”
Roger thinks that while the bridge was scant for other motorists that particular morning in 1966, he feels that there has to be other witnesses to this huge green orb UFO sighting.
The Historical Record of Planet Earth speaks of ongoing contact with extraterrestrials as found in oral traditions, tablets, stone monuments, petroglyphs, and art forms found throughout the planet. Many of these images could also be lenticular clouds.

Figurines, Lizard-headed or Ubaid Style, clay, Ur (Ubaid culture), 5th millenium BCE, h:13.6 cm From the Ubaid – Southern Mesopotamian Period, 5000 BCE – 4000 BCEFound in Ur. The Ubaid culture succeeded the Halaf at the end of the 6th millenium BCE in southern Iraq, then spread throughout Mesopotamia. Ubaid culture is known for painted pottery; large houses of tripartite plan for extended families; and lizard-headed figurines of both male and female gender. Figurines such as the above examples are typical. The figure on the left holds a baby on her hip and suckles it. The figure on the right has incised stretch marks on her abdomen. It has been suggested that the brown-painted dots and lines represent tatoos, and the clay pellets scarring. It is unknown if the shape of the skulls represents actual head-binding.Similar Lizard-headed figurines have been found at Eridu. Collon, Dominique. Ancient Near Eastern Art.

Nepal
7,000 B.C. – The Lolladoff plate, discovered in Nepal, appears to show a hovering disk-shaped object in the center and a small being, resembling an alien resembling an alien gray, beside it. The circular pattern is reminiscent of the spiraling movement of consciousness – Sacred Geometry of creation.

United States – Native Americans
Petroglyphs dating back thousands of years ago by ancient Indians in the American Southwest. According to Indian folklore, two objects collided high in the sky and one crash-landed in the region of Death Valley. Some men arrived (presumably in another ship) and spent some time repairing the damaged craft and were observed by the local Indians. The two images below may possibly depict the ship (left) used by the men who came to repair the damaged craft. In comparing the two images, the one on the right seems to depict structural damage around the edges and the bottom. Could it be the one that allegedly crashed? The images are stills taken from an old TV series entitled “In search of…” hosted by Leonard Nimoy.

Africa Tassili n’Ajjer, Sahara Desert, North Africa
Sahara rock art is a significant area of archaeological study focusing on the precious treasures carved or painted on the natural rocks found in the central Sahara desert. There are over three thousand sites discovered that have information about Saharan rock art. From the Tibesti massif to the Ahaggar Mountains, the Sahara is an impressive open-air museum containing numerous archaeological sites.
Tassili n’Ajjer (meaning “Plateau of the Rivers”) is noted for its prehistoric rock art and other ancient archaeological sites, dating from Neolithic times when the local climate was much moister, with savannah rather than desert. The art depicts herds of cattle, large wild animals including crocodiles, and human activities such as hunting and dancing. The art has strong stylistic links to the pre-Nguni Art of South Africa and the region, executed in caves by the San Peoples before the year 1200 BCE.
The range’s exceptional density of rock art paintings-pictograms and engravings-petroglyphs, and the presence of many prehistoric vestiges, are remarkable testimonies to Neolithic prehistory. From 10,000 BCE to the first centuries CE, successive peoples left many archaeological remains, habitations, burial mounds and enclosures which have yielded abundant lithic and ceramic material. However, it is the rock art (engravings and paintings) that have made Tassili world famous as from 1933, the date of its discovery. 15,000 petroglyphs have been identified to date.
Some of the painting have bizarre depictions of what appear to be spacemen wearing suits, visors, and helmets. resembling modern day astronauts. This takes us to the west African tribe – the Dogon whose legends say they were guided to the area from another part of Africa that was drying up – by fish gods called the Nommo who came in huge ships from the sky.

This is an artistic reproduction of a relief found in a labyrinth on the island Jotuo in the Toengt’ing lake. An expedition took place in 1957 (two years before an earthquake in that region). The expedition was led by professor Tsj’i Pen-Lai. They found various reliefs showing “humans” in strange clothes which looked like astronaut suits (hose like objects attached to the clothes). They also found a painting which apparently resembled the solar system. The third and fourth circle (planet) were connected with a line. Also there were ten planets (excluding the sun as planet). This connects easily to the theories about Nibiru, planet X, etc.

Witnesses in Canada noticed strange objects flying in the sky near Esquimalt, British Columbia at approximately 8:30 p.m. on the night of Monday, April 27.
Two of these witnesses, Brian Cooper and his wife Melissa, were in bed watching a movie when they noticed two unusual objects zipping through the night sky. The couple raced to the balcony for a better view. Although one of the UFOs quickly vanished, the couple was able to use a cell phone to record video of one of the objects.

As they explained to CTV News, the UFO was a circular craft that was “as being as big as a Volkswagen, flying like a drone, except much faster,” and had lights that “spun in all different directions.”
Veralynn Weaver, the Coopers’ upstairs neighbor, also saw the UFOs.
“I’ve grown up on military bases and I’ve never seen anything like that,” she told CTV News.
The witnesses say the UFOs flew over nearby CFB Esquimalt naval base. The Coopers suspect the UFOs they observed are likely some sort of secret military vehicle, but they also entertain the notion that what they saw could be “proof of alien life.”

“I have never seen anything like this in my life,” says Mr. Cooper. “I’m a very skeptical person.”
CTV News inquired with the naval base about the UFOs. Although the base declined to view the Coopers’ UFO video, a spokesperson from the base confirmed that no military flights took place near the base on the night in question. Reporters also checked with local authorities and were told that no UFO sighting reports were filed that night either.
To check on the done possibility, CTV News showed the UFO video to someone familiar with drones, David Carlos of Victoria Air Photos & Survey. He is of the opinion that the object in the video is a “Multi-rotar, electric air vehicle.” But he is also careful to point out that, purely based on the video, it is impossible to make a conclusive identification.
Although Mr. Cooper dismissed the drone possibility because he thinks the UFOs he observed flew to quickly, it is important to note that some consumer drones are capable of flying extremely fast and can perform incredible flight maneuvers.
“ALLEGED” IMPLANT FOUND IN X-RAY OF WOMAN’S UPPER BACK.
Listen to Recording of Interview With Witness (YouTube):
Description: This was found in my back on April 8. I have severe degenerative disc disease. I also have essential tremors, or Parkinson’s. Strange things have happened in my living room at night, like objects floating across the room. One time it looked like clouds. Another time I saw something that looked like a small bird nest, and then another a large nest. My dog freaked out a couple of times, but I didn’t see anything. I burned sage and she calmed down. I feel good now without the tremors, and a lot less pain in my back. MY DOCTORS ARE VERY CONFUSED. I don’t plan on having anything done, but would like to know more about it.
Note: The witness has been contacted for more information. The “cursor” that shows up in the lower center of the X-Ray is due to the fact that a camera was used to take a photo of the X-Ray displayed on a computer. The doctor provided the woman a CD with her X-Rays. I am trying to ascertain if the woman had previous X-rays of the area and if the object was present. I am assuming that the object first showed up on the April 8 X-ray? The woman says that her doctors have no explanation for the object. The woman has no scars in the area where the object shows up on the X-ray. Although she doesn’t recall specific “abduction” or alien encounters, she has had strange experiences lately which include her pet dog. The woman is handicapped and has other physical problems. The object clearly looks artificial and does not appear to be any kind of growth. I have sent the X-ray to a radiologist to get his opinion. Updates will be posted. Of course I have no way of proving that the X-ray is real and is from the person who sent it me.
Update April 23, 2015: Obviously many “experts” have weighed in that this is a “manmade” device probably with a medical function. I don’t claim to know everything and sometimes go with what the witness tells me and I use sometimes rely on information from commenters. I also have obtained feedback from 2 physicians (see one comment below). One of the physicians is a radiologist he wrote the following: It looks like an implantable electronic device. Alternatively, given the patient’s history, it could be something external. A timer taped to the detector assembly or even a necklace-time piece she was wearing. Best thing is to repeat. If she never had anything place there, it will be gone.
Second Interview With Witness: The witness says that the device was not present on her X-Rays previous to the April 8, 2015 X-Rays. The previous X-Rays were taken in October of 2014.

Astronomer claims to see UFO close to Montgomeryshire border
Astronomer claims to see UFO close to Montgomeryshire border
A KEEN astronomer believes he saw a UFO in the skies above his home close to the Montgomeryshire border – the second unexplained incident within a year in the area.
Jamie Keeling, 28, from Four Crosses was retrieving items from his car near his home when he claims to have heard a low, deep rumbling noise from above.
Mr Keeling says he saw a large black triangular craft flying overhead with a bright, pulsating red light at each corner. The close encounter occurred shortly before 10pm on Thursday, April 9, as the object apparently flew directly over the Powys skyline.
Mr Keeling said: “It was travelling at a constant speed and height. It was hard to tell what altitude it was flying at, but it looked very high and very large in size and was travelling due east.
“My father is a pilot, and I am a keen amateur astronomer, so I know what I am and am not looking at when it comes to things in the night sky.
“I wondered whether it could have been three military aircraft flying in formation, but all aircraft flying anywhere in the world are obligated to, and are not allowed to fly in any airspace, unless they have a very specific formation of lights displayed; that being a red light on the one wing tip and a green light on the other.”
Last August an “unexplained banana shaped object” was seen in the sky by a model plane enthusiast also in the Four Crosses area.
On this latest occasion light pollution hampered visibility on the night and Mr Keeling said it was impossible to distinguish whether the lights came from one large triangular aircraft or three military aircraft flying in formation.
He said there were no stars visible between the three red lights as the craft moved along it’s flight path, which led him to believe it was one solid craft, but because so few stars were visible on the night he could not be certain.
Mr Keeling believes he has seen the same mysterious craft on two previous occasions at the same spot at around the same time.
He added: “The sightings were the same each time but this time I had a much clearer view as I was standing out in the open in the middle of the road so none of the craft was obstructed and I was able to watch it until it disappeared into the distance.
“I don’t know what it was that I saw, but I do know it was a craft with lights that do not conform to the legal obligations set out by the FAA.
“Its speed was hard to judge as I couldn’t ascertain its distance from my position, but this was not a normal aircraft and I have no idea what it was.”
We can now reveal the greatest secret in the history of Archaeology !
This is an extract of the last chapter from the book 'The Stonehenge Enigma' - Second Edition 2013, by Robert John Langdon - published today.
Epilogue - Ancient monument to the Lost World of Atlantis
If the builders of Stonehenge were the lost civilisation of Atlantis, where did they originate from and why did they come to the Salisbury plain to construct their monument?
We have shown (in the previous chapters of the book) that after the last ice age the ‘great melt’ flooded the landscape of Britain for over ten thousand years. This flooding started a ‘chain reaction’ and as a consequence the sea level slowly increased and vast areas of land were lost including a land mass known as ‘Doggerland’.
Doggerland sinks long after the Northern ice cap melts
Throughout the 19th century, oyster dredgers working the shallow waters off the north east coast of England recorded frequent finds of animal bones caught up in their nets. These discoveries became a regular occurrence as the fishing technology increased and the trawlers at a later date and in deeper waters of the North Sea also found traces of civilisation and a lost continent. Sadly, the location were rarely recorded with any degree of accuracy; this material appeared to come from a number of areas within the North Sea.
One area where the greatest number of finds were was discovered is known as the ‘Dogger bank’ which lies just 90km – 110km (60-70 miles) from the coast of the British Isles. This shoal (a shoal, sandbar , sandbank or gravel bar is a somewhat linear landform within or extending into a body of water, typically composed of sand, silt or small pebbles.) rises about 45m (150 ft) above the North Sea bed. To the north it plunges into deeper water and forms a subterranean plateau covering 17,600 sq. km. (6,800 miles) with a maximum dimension being 260km (160 miles) from North to South and 95 km (60 miles) from East to West.
Over time the number of finds reduced as the same area was dredged day after day and any artefacts sitting on the surface would have been scooped up and either returned as a curiosity (or in a majority) most of the time just thrown back in a different location.
Even so, items such as; bear, wolf, hyena, bison, woolly rhino, mammoth, beaver walrus, elk, deer and most importantly horse have been collected. This precious collection of findings gives us a fantastic insight to what Doggerland looked like, the environment that supported these animals and the climate of this unique area of the world.
It would be impossible to talk about Doggerland and its environment without understanding the clear connection to Plato’s written references to the lost world of Atlantis. Over the years Atlantis has grown to be both a legend and the source of much science fiction. This is neither correct nor helpful in tracing the history of mankind, as it moves the debate from scientific observation to fantasy and the degrading of the most important time of our history.
Plato
Plato is a source of credible information for he is not a ‘story teller’ like some other historic writers, he is fundamentally a philosopher whose writings are still studied even now, some 2,000 years after his death at the most famous and prestigious universities throughout the world. This man is not prone to fantasy or exaggeration, his writings therefore must be accepted as true evidence that once in the distant past an ancient great civilisation did in fact exist and that they changed the course of mankind in ways which I believe we do not fully understand to date.
The next book in our trilogy traces the ‘megalithic builders’ from when they came out of Africa to where they landed in their boats on Doggerland following the herds of Animals as the ice caps receded and the food supply for these ancient ancestors moved north travelling to a new continent. They constructed a civilisation that used new stone tools and incorporated megalithic stone constructions into their society.
Consequently, we need to look at the probability that Plato’s ‘Atlantis’ is a genuine reference to this land, as it is the oldest written source and may give us clues of how this civilisation lived and traded. Fortunately for us Plato gave some detail about this civilisation, such as how they lived and what they believed, which will allow us to compare what we know from landscape and archaeological finds and look for other areas of investigation the texts might reveal.
Plato’s most famous line from ‘Timaeus’, a dialogue between Critias and Socrates, where ‘Critias’ tells a story he learned through his family about the Greek statesman ‘Solon’ whilst he was studying with the most scholarly of Egyptian priests during a visit to Sais in Egypt in about 590 BCE. The priests claimed to have access to secret records about a lost civilisation called ‘Atlantis’, which only they were allowed to read, for it was written on the pillars within their most sacred temple. Now Sais was one of the oldest cities in the old kingdom and the city’s patron goddess was ‘Neith’, whose cult is attested as early as the 1st Dynasty, ca. 3100- 3050 BCE.
The Greeks, such as Herodotus, Plato and Diodorus Siculus, identified her with Athena and hence postulated a primordial link to Athens. Diodorus recounts that Athena built Sais ‘before’ the ‘deluge’ that supposedly destroyed Athens and Atlantis. While all Greek cities were destroyed during that cataclysm, the Egyptian cities including Sais survived.
As we can see from this connection, the deluge has incredible importance to ancient civilisations, clearly indicating that any prehistoric civilisation that wanted to ‘stay alive’ would possibly build boats, not for some, but for everyone. Sadly, the city of Sais has been recently destroyed by farmers who used the house and temple mud bricks as free fertiliser for the fields – to this date the temple and its writings have never been found.
The most famous line from Plato’s dialogue is:
“in front of the mouth which you Greeks say ‘the pillars of Hercules’ there lay an island which is much larger than Libya and Asia together”translated by W.R.M. Lamb 1925 or
“in front of the straits which are by you called the pillars of Hercules; the island was bigger than Libya and Asia together” B. Jowett 1871
Atlantis - Portrayed as a gigantic Island
This single sentence has caused no end of debate about the location of Atlantis. Some suggest that ‘the pillars’ can refer to water flows, thus allowing the speculation (which is current) that Atlantis is a Greek Island. Others suggest (including myself) that the ‘pillars of Hercules’ is the mouth of the Mediterranean between Morocco and Spain. Now this is a case of translation and interpretation, the word ‘mouth’ is sometime called ‘strait’, in other quotations Plato refers to the Mediterranean Sea as “within the straits of Hercules”.
According to some Roman sources, while on his way to the island of ‘Erytheia’ Hercules had to cross the mountain that was once Atlas (the Atlas Mountains are in Northern Africa overlooking the Mediterranean). Instead of climbing the great mountain, Hercules used his superhuman strength to smash through it. By doing so, he connected the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea and formed the Straits of Gibraltar.
But the best evidence is in the name itself ‘Atlantis’ for Herodotus (an ancient Greek historian, 484 BCE – 425 BCE) in a time before Plato’s writings calls the Sea outside the Pillars of Hercules the ‘Atlantis Sea’ (Cyrus, 557-530 BCE: Book 1). Moreover, even today we call it the Atlantic Ocean and in history c’s and s’s are commonly transposed.
So we are left with a clear understanding that Atlantis was in the Atlantic Ocean, but then come the next problem with this description “the island was bigger than Libya and Asia together” this is where most Atlantis claims fall flat. Libya was well known in Plato’s time as a big country as it bordered the Mediterranean, but the reference to Asia cannot be the Asia we know as it was unknown to the old world and the Greeks, therefore the Asia that Plato was referring to is now called Asia Minor.
‘Asia Minor (from Greek: Μικρὰ Ἀσία, Mikrá Asía, small Asia) is a geographical location at the westernmost protrusion of Asia, also called Anatolia, and corresponds to the western two thirds of the Asian part of Turkey. It is a peninsula bounded by the Black Sea to the north, Georgia to the north-east, the Armenian Highland to the east, Mesopotamia to the south-east, the Mediterranean Sea to the south, and the Aegean Sea to the west.’
The size of this ‘island’ is consequently a major problem for historians to date, as the only two island possibilities are the Caribbean in America or a continent that was once in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean that has disappeared without trace. Well the islands of the Caribbean are far too small and the trek across the middle of the Atlantic Ocean without landmass to guide the ships eleven thousand years ago would be too daunting to be truly feasible with ‘Bronze Age technology’ as Plato suggests.
This is why the search has failed to date and all various ‘silly’ hypotheses based on the Mediterranean make news headlines. If we look again at this passage and the exact wording of Atlantis we find something most researchers have overlooked in the translation and it’s the word ‘island’, the original Greek word is ‘nesos’ which can mean either island or peninsula.
If we are looking for a ‘Peninsula’ (which is a piece of land that is bordered by water on three sides but connected to mainland.) that is outside the Mediterranean, then there are only two possibilities - Africa or Europe. These are both outside the Pillars of Hercules and can be easily navigated by sticking to the shorelines. The African continent has shown no signs of any peninsula on its Atlantic side that has disappeared in the past 10,000 years - but Europe has!
Europe 14000 BCE a large peninsula in the Atlantic Ocean (NEP)
If we look at a map of Europe at the end of the Ice Age, we notice that the water levels were about 160m lower than today, so much lower that extra coastlines are added to both Spain and France. But when we look at the British Isles we notice Britain has completely vanished.
It has been replace a massive new land mass protruding into the Atlantic Ocean, for the English Channel, Irish Sea and the North Sea as we know them today has been replaced by a single land mass. Moreover, the land to the west of Ireland and North West from Scotland would have also been reclaimed from the sea.
This peninsula (which includes to the North East Norway, Sweden and Finland, to the east Denmark and the Baltic Sea) creates a continent about the same size of Libya and Asia Minor, which correlates to Plato’s writings.
We know from our history that the rising of sea waters over the last 10,000 years has caused flooding that created the island nation we know today. But, do the writings contain any other information which will allow us to confirm this peninsula is the land mass Critias was talking about?
Plato adds -
“yonder (beyond the pillars of Hercules) is a real Ocean, and the land surrounding it may most rightly be called, in the fullest and truest sense, a continent”
in this sentence the ‘island’ is turned into a ‘continent’ so this proves that the translation of ‘nesos’ is peninsula not island, and in today’s terms, we are looking at a land mass that incorporates the British Isles, Scandinavia and the Northern European countries of France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Poland, Netherlands, Denmark, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and the Baltic, North and Irish seas, that were at time land masses, which I call the North European Peninsula (NEP).
Therefore, do the other descriptions of Plato’s Atlantis match this new continent?
Where he does give us an indication of some other identification features for this lost continent is -
“and it is possible for the travellers of that time to cross from it to the other islands and from the islands to the whole of the continent”.
If NEP is correct, this could mean either one of two different continents. For about 2,000 years (between 10,000 BCE and 8,000 BCE) you could travel from the North West end of the NEP to the Faroe islands which were about five times larger than the islands we know today (due to the drop in sea levels) and then a short hop west to Iceland, which again, for the same reasons, was twice as wide as today, then finally over the short distance to Greenland and then America.
The coastal route would then allow you access to the ‘New World’ down the entire east side of America. The most interesting and controversial aspect, is that the Atlanteans would have discovered America 11,000 years before Columbus, which may seem far fetched but it will answer an evolutionary mystery that has confused geneticists and anthropologists for many years. This mystery involves the spread of the A- blood group in Northern American Indians and ancient skeletons that have European features and stone tool kits.
Map of the Common 'O' blood group - 'A' was introduced 10,000 years ago in North America
Other illustrations of Atlantis, in Plato’s writings, can now be compared for further comparison such as the famous plain of Atlantis. For -
“The whole country was said by him to be very lofty and precipitous on the side of the sea, but the country immediately about and surrounding the city was a level plain, itself surrounded by mountains which descended towards the sea; it was smooth and even, and of an oblong shape, extending in one direction three thousand stadia, but across the centre inland it was two thousand stadia.”
So a level oblong shaped plain that was surrounded by mountains which were by the sea and the plain which measured about 250 miles by 350 miles. The current North Sea (Doggerland) would comfortably incorporate a flat plain of that size and hence it sinking below the rising sea levels, for it measures 450 miles by 1200 miles. There are mountains in the North in both Scotland and Norway which ‘descended towards the sea’ not even taking into account the mountains of Doggerland in the north which is now the ‘Viking’ and ‘Berger’ sand banks between Shetland and Norway.
Another indication that we are talking about a peninsula or part of a continent is the line ’lofty and precipitous on the side of the sea’ if this was an island would not ALL sides be on the side of the sea? Our newly discovered Atlantis has one side by the sea where the city and plain lays and that is in the north, the area we know now as Scotland, Shetland, Orkney across to Norway, where it always rains.
He continues -
“This part of the peninsula looked towards the south, and was sheltered from the north. The surrounding mountains were celebrated for their number and size and beauty, far beyond any which still exist, having in them also many wealthy villages of country folk, and rivers, and lakes, and meadows supplying food enough for every animal, wild or tame, and much wood of various sorts, abundant for each and every kind of work.”
Modern sonar readings of the North Sea floor has shown this land of ‘rivers and lakes and meadows’ and with the mountains in the north the great plain would naturally face south.
