Kevin Randle, a full-time writer of more than 100 books of fiction and nonfiction, over 15 books about UFOs (was also an Army helicopter pilot and Air Force intelligence officer, including a Ph.D. in psychology), speaks about his investigation into the infamous crash of an alleged alien aircraft on a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico about July 2, 1947.
The book has chronologies of events that Randle discovered over the years, including interviews with witnesses that were still alive during his research. Consequently, Randle begins to discover a number of discrepancies to the popular “spaceship crash” theory. Likewise, Randle cannot completely ignore the testimony of various witnesses and documents that, if authentic, would mean a cover-up of sorts existed concerning the July, 1947 “crash.”
Dr. Kevin D. Randle (born 1949), is a prominent ufologist. Within the UFO community he is often regarded as one of the preeminent experts on the reported crash of a UFO near Roswell, New Mexico in July 1947.
A professional writer with more than 80 books to his credit, Randle is perhaps best known for his books about UFOs and the Roswell story. While the vast majority of his books are science fiction and historical fiction, it’s his books on the alleged UFO crash at Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 that have exerted an enormous influence on those interested in the saga
“On the pro side there is little documentation, but solid eyewitness testimony. These were the men who should have known about the crash based on who they were,” says Randle. “Many of them, when interviewed, did confirm they knew and even suggested an extraterrestrial explanation. There is limited documentation, but there is some…and there is the reacting to something extraordinary…this lack of information about what was happening at the top of the military pyramid is not surprising.” (Pages 174-175.)
EARLY WITNESSES
Some of the early comments of witnesses somehow attached to the Roswell UFO incident can also be divided into “against, for, or undecided” categories.
Major Jesse Marcel, the Air Intelligence Officer at the Roswell Army Field, was ordered by Colonel William Blanchard to investigate a “debris field” discovered by ranch foreman Mack Brazel on a ranch near Corona, New Mexico. Marcel took along counter-intelligence corps officer Captain Sheridan Cavitt. Brazel’s discovery seemed to be around July 2 to 5, 1947; however, Brazel told the Roswell Dailey Record the discovery had been in June, 1947.
Randle constructs a list of witnesses and their opinions as to what they saw. Erdmann summarized a few; the reader can search further in Randle’s book.
The combination of biologically inspired technology, engineering and IT could allow 'morphing wing' aircraft to be developed, offering huge operational benefits, improved efficiencies and enhanced safety performance.
A concept design illustration developed by NASA during its 'Morphing Project'; the core goal was to identify enabling technologies but this model famously caught the public eye in 2001.
(http://www.airforce-technology.com/features/feature91197/feature91197-1.html.)# Mack Brazel: “Rubber strips, tin foil, a rather tough paper and sticks.” “…a bundle about three feet long and seven or eight inches thick, while the rubber made a bundle about 18 or 20 inches long and about eight inches thick…” “…I am sure what I found was not any weather observation balloon.”
(Erdmann theorized that this description may have been due to military intimidation during Brazel’s so-called ‘arrest.’ There was, also, possible confusion of his ‘find’ of a genuine balloon crash earlier in June, 1947.)
# Technical Sargent Ernest Robert Robbins, according to his wife Anne, was a participant in the recovery of a “saucer-shaped (craft) and that was a top layer that was oblong and had windows in it…three people…one was dead and two were alive.”
# Master Sargent Lewis Rickett, on a visit to the crash site, handled “a light weight piece of metal that was slightly curved and about eighteen inches long…feather light and may be flimsy…he could not bend it.”
# Sargent Thomas Gonzales, a member of the Transportation Section, was asked to assist in the “sweep” of the 1947 crash site. He said he witnessed an “air foil” and “little men.”
# A “Sargent Johnson” was a member of the 1395th MP Company, and took about a dozen soldiers to the crash site. The craft appeared to be about fourteen feet in diameter, very light, and shared four creatures, three were dead. Johnson was told that the bodies were taken to the Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio.
(Discrepancies existed as to how many crash victims were found, and how many were alive or dead, and when the deaths happened.)
# Major Jesse Marcel described the material as being as thin as “newsprint,” yet so strong that a sledge hammer couldn’t dent it. There were small I-beams. “…it could not have been part of an aircraft, not part of any kind of weather balloon or experimental balloon…was not part of an aircraft, not a missile or rocket.”
# Colonel William Blanchard was the commander of the 509th Bomb Group at the Roswell Army Airfield in July, 1947. It was Blanchard that directed Lieutenant Walter Haut, the Publicity Information Officer, to release a press release on July 8 that “flying saucer” wreckage had been recovered and sent to higher headquarters.
Randle tells of some of the officers who defended the claim but also some who debunked the story of a 1947 alien craft.
PRO
# Colonel Thomas Dubois, Chief of Staff of the Eighth Air Force, said that orders had come down from the Strategic Air Command headquarters and Major General McMullen “that the officers were not to talk about this among themselves.” In August 1990, DuBois said: ‘Nobody, wife, me, with Ramey, with anyone.”
# Joe Briley, operations officer for the 509th, told Randle that in July 1947 he was a squadron commander at that time, and he did know that Blanchard had gone out to the crash site. Briley said that most stories were “changed and hushed up immediately as soon as the people from Washington arrived.” Briley said that Blanchard, who had been a close friend, “was not stupid enough to call a weather balloon something else.”
# Patrick Saunders was the base adjutant and member of the primary staff on the Roswell Air Field in July 1947. Saunders wrote on the first page of the book TheTruth about the UFO Crash atRoswell: “Here’s the truth and I still haven’t told anybody anything!” Saunders told close friends that officers of the 509th Group were “confronted with a technology greater than that of Earth.”
# Edwin Easley was the Provost Marshal at the Roswell Army Airfield in July 1947, responsible for security and police functions. Easley usually avoided conversation on the topic by saying it was classified and that “he had confirmed” in February 1991 that Mack Brazel had “been held at the guest house on the base.” (Brazel referred to this as ‘jail.’) “If you are not allowed to leave and there is a guard on the door, it is, basically, the same thing,” says Randle.
When questioned if the craft was of extraterrestrial origin, Easley said: “Let me put it this way. That’s not the wrong path.”
# Former 1st Lieutenant Chester Barton was told by Easley to go out to the crash site. “…the remains of a crashed aircraft…military police were using Geiger counters and that they did detect some radiation in certain spots,” says Randle, “…weren’t any large pieces.” Barton said: “I know it was a hush-hush deal and Easley told us to keep our mouths shut.”
# Oliver “Pappy” Henderson flew some of the wreckage on to Wright Field. Henderson told his wife, Sappho, that he had seen the bodies of the crash victims: “These were drawings of small creatures with big heads and large eyes,” says Randle. “Slender creatures with big heads and large eyes,” says Randle. “Slender creatures that seemed to be frail.”
# Lloyd Thompson and Robert Slusher were part of the crew that flew the bodies out of Roswell on a B-29 to Fort Worth where they were met by six people. One person was an undertaker, Lieutenant Felix Martucci, who has fervidly refused to comment to date.
CON
Some testimony raised questions about the authenticity and connections to the 1947 crash.
# Lieutenant Colonel Robert Barrowclough was an executive officer that said (during various interviews) that he was one of the pilots who flew the strange metallic debris out of Roswell. Robert Porter and other members of the 509th Bomb Group suggested that Barrowclough had flown with Major Marcel on the July 8 trip to Fort Worth as Aircraft Commander.
Records show, however, that Barrowclough was on leave. Morning Reports show that Barrowclough returned from leave on July 9: he was not there to take the July 8 flight.
# Martin Jorgans claimed to be a civilian working for the military in 1947 in search of drone jet aircraft that crashed near Roswell on July 3. They discovered a craft with “stubby…curved-back wings…about twenty feet long and only 12 to 14 feet wide.” There were three reported creatures.
However, “there are no records to corroborate this,” (unfortunately) says Randle, “…using radar to track it is also a worry, given the nature of the terrain and the locations of the various radars in 1947…the search probably would have been conducted by aircraft and not guys in a jeep.”
# Counter-intelligence corps officer, then Captain Sheridan Cavitt (who accompanied Jesse Marcel to the “debris field”) told Colonel Richard Weaver that “he (Cavitt) knew immediately that it was a balloon.” Captain Weaver was the author of the July, 1994 23-page “Report of the Air Force Research Regarding the Roswell Incident.”
# Bessie Brazel Schrieber, the daughter of Mack Brazel, said that she, and her brother Vernon, helped pick up debris into four burlap sacks. Bessie recalls the material as nothing but pieces of a balloon (there possibly was confusion over a balloon found earlier in June, 1947, as well as, Mack Brazel’s intimidation by the military about his descriptions of the material).
# Former Captain and Ph.D. (doctor) Lorenzo Kent Kimball was the medical supply officer at Roswell in July 1947. Randle says that Kimball knew doctors, nurses, enlisted men, pilots and officers at Roswell Air Field. “He is emphatic in his opinion that nothing happened,” says Randle, “that the story of the preliminary autopsy at Roswell is false, and the whole idea of a flying saucer crash is without merit.”
BIG BRASS
In 1947 Colonel (later Brigadier General) Thomas J. DuBose was the Chief of Staff of the Eighth Air Force stationed at the, then, Fort Worth Army Air Field. He was ordered by Major General Clements McMullen (Deputy Commander of the Strategic Air Command) to inquire about the material at Roswell. DuBose was ordered to send the material to McMullen, who, in turn, forwarded it to Nathan F. Twining at the Air Material Command.
Lets imagine for a minute that out there, somewhere in the universe, there is an intelligent alien species that has the technological ability to travel to our planet, making first contact. And that these beings haven made contact in the past with human beings.
If a species like that really exists, they would probably be hundreds of years ahead of our time, more advanced technologically and intellectually then we could imagine at this point. How this alien species might have been thousands of years in the past is an interesting question, they might as well have had similar technologies like we do today, with their limitations at that point in history. Of course, they have become advanced completely changing their lifestyle and society.
If these alien beings do exist, and are as advanced enough to visit Earth, then they probably would have no problem communicating with a technologically inferior race like us. They would probably assimilate our culture, language and beliefs very quickly even though they might be living and functioning at another consciousness level than ours, probably understanding dimensions, space and time in a very different way. The possibilities are endless, and even though they might sound too much like Star Wars for some, in the time we are living, it is certainly a possibility. Scientists and astronomers are very confident that we will meet “real” aliens by 2025, and to make things even more interesting, a recent statement by NASA’s chief scientist Ellen Stofan, has put things about aliens very clear. According to Stofan, we should be able to make contact with extraterrestrial beings in at least 20 years.
How would it look like, making contact with aliens? Do you see a picture like Independence day? Where giant mother ships invade our planet as alien beings are rushing towards Earth in a goal to exterminate the human race? Or do you believe that these beings would arrive to Earth in a peaceful way? Exchanging technology and knowledge in the name of progress. There are just some of the possible scenarios that can occur if we do meet intelligent beings in the near future, of course there are many other possibilities when it comes to meeting our space neighbors.
Stofans’ colleague, Jeffrey Newmark, acting director of NASA’s heliophysics department agree with Stofans predictions stating; it’s not about “if we meet them, it’s when we meet them”.
Former astronaut John M. Grunsfeld also supports the prediction Stofan made while talking about the day we meet extraterrestrial beings. “I think we’re just one generation away from finding alien life in our solar system, either inside an icy moon or on Mars, or on a planet around a nearby star,” said Grunsfeld.
Grunsfield’s claims are based on recent discovers by NASA that suggest that our Solar System and other nearby galaxies in the Milky Way are full of environments that are capable of supporting life as we know it.
According to Stofan, we will not necessarily meet little green men as depicted in science fiction movies. Instead, these “aliens” might be found in a microscopic form. “We’re talking about small microbes” reiterated Stofan.
But these statements haven convinced the entire scientific community which has several opinions regarding the possibility of life in our galaxy. According to Fergus Simpson, a cosmologist at the University of Barcelona, these extraterrestrial beings might actually be monstrous beast that haunt the darkest corners of our nightmares. “Throughout the animal kingdom, species that are physically larger invariably have a lower population density, possibly due to increased demand for energy,” said Simpson.”As a result, we should expect that humans are physically smaller than most other advanced species.”
Simpson speculates that throughout space, there are much more planets that have smaller creatures inhabiting them than those with larger creatures.
In addition to the theory offered by Simpson, other experts in the world of science have suggested that the idea NASA has, searching for extraterrestrial beings is actually very risky, arguing that rather than actively seeking contact with extraterrestrial beings, we should turn away from them. According to Stephen Hawking, if human beings do get in touch with extraterrestrial beings, these aliens could enslave humanity and colonize our planet.”If aliens ever visit us, I believe that the outcome would be just like when Christopher Columbus arrived to America, something that did not turn out so good for the Native Americans.” said Hawking.
The views of Hawking are shared by other scientists such as astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, who fears that aliens are greedy, exploitative and violent. NASA has made incredible progress in their such for habitable planets in the universe. So far, NASA has found more than 5,000 planets that could support life, and this number increases every day, and with that, the possibility of encountering intelligent extraterrestrial beings.
A Stargate? – Mysterious Radio Signals Detected From Ancient Underwater ‘Structure’ Near Malibu – Massive Underwater Entrance Discovered Off The California Coast
A Stargate? – Mysterious Radio Signals Detected From Ancient Underwater ‘Structure’ Near Malibu – Massive Underwater Entrance Discovered Off The California Coast
MessageToEagle.com- A mysterious underwater structure near Malibu, which conspiracy theorists believe could be a ‘stargate’ used to travel to alien planets has emitted strange new radio signals.
A ham radio enthusiast captured audio of the strange radio signals emitted from the ‘ship’, which some believe has been known about by indigenous Chumash people for thousands of years," reports Yahoo News.
Click on image to enlarge
‘Every day I would come across these signals,’ says Mr Emmett, 93, who has been an amateur radio operator since 1938.
‘The amazing thing about them is that they are steady as you like. I knew the signal had to be extremely close.
Mr Emmett says he tracked the source of these signals using a powerful antenna mounted on a four-wheel-drive truck - and found they hailed from a mysterious underwater structure near his property in Florida.
The structure was originally spotted by author Robert M Stanley - a friend of Mr Emmett's - who believes it may be a large alien craft which has lain underwater for thousands of years.
His claims are disputed, with many saying the object is natural.
Stanley claims that the strange object could be a ‘stargate’ - a wormhole used by aliens to visit Earth - and that it is constantly investigated by mini-submarines piloted by the U.S. government.
Nigel Watson, author of the ‘Haynes UFO Investigations Manual says, ‘There are many rumours and stories of underground and underwater alien bases scattered throughout the world, usually in very remote areas that are associated with UFO sightings and other unexplained events.
The Malibu structure is fascinating because it has produced an whole chain of theories and speculation.’
‘Author Robert M. Stanley claims he discovered, what he believes to be this ancient structure, in 2010 by looking at Google maps on his computer.
When he contacted an old friend who lives in that area, he was told that he knew about the presence this structure for 10 years. His friend had recorded HAM radio signals coming from it, and it was his belief that the structure was a large spacecraft that had taken residence here perhaps since ancient times.’
‘Whether a base or a spaceship, Robert claims it is in perfect alignment with several megalithic monuments in Malibu, and it fits in with the oral legends of the Chumash that claim this area was flooded 12,000 years ago.
Robert also thinks the US Navy know about this base, as there are many rumours that they operate mini-submarines inside ancient lava tubes along the Californian coast that are linked to underground military bases in the Mojave desert.’
‘On reflection Robert thinks that this could be a portal, wormhole or stargate that are used by aliens to visit Earth.’
‘As with most areas of UFO research there are lots of ideas but little solid evidence. It could be wishful thinking that the radio signals are coming from this structure. It would be fantastic if this was some ancient space probe or alien base lurking off the coast of Malibu, but until anyone can actually go there it remains frustratingly enigmatic.’
Its a little ironic that this circle was discovered in a city call Gray, as if named after the species of aliens that are 1 meter tall with grey skin and big heads. This is the second time the crop formation was seen in this area and it may be a messages, or it may be the landing marks of a UFO that wanted to take measurements and analyse the crop for any DNA modifications of the food. SCW
News states: Some folks that live on Old Gray Station Road are asking questions about a strange sight that popped up overnight.
Tim Blumberg was putting a letter in his mailbox this morning, when he turned around and saw what appears to be a crop circle.
The high grass in the hay field has been pushed down, into what appears to be the design of two half moon shapes, facing opposite directions, connected by a bar of some kind, with another circle inside each one.
“I couldn’t explain it,” said neighbor Tommy Carty, “if it was something out of the ordinary, if the wind had done something out of the ordinary or peculiar, or if it was a sign from Heaven.”
While he can’t explain it, Carty said he is sure of one thing… “if the little green men are coming this way, I’m not ready for them, I’m ready for the good Lord to come after me,” he said.
Both men say they know there is a good chance this is a prank, but both walked out into the field and said there are no tracks, human or machine, anywhere near the strange diagram.
So what will they do now?
“Take lots of pictures I guess,” says Blumberg, “hope we don’t get any alien abductions… Count your cows.”

VIDEO: “40 jaar oude NASA-video toont UFO die maanlanding Apollo 15 volgt”
UFO-jagers hebben naar eigen zeggen beelden gevonden van een maanlanding waarop een ongeïdentificeerd vliegend object is te zien.
Het beeldmateriaal, dat tijdens de maanlanding van Apollo 15 in 1971 is gefilmd door NASA-astronaut Jim Irwin, toont in de verte een ‘gelande vliegende schotel’. De mensen achter het YouTube-kanaal Paranormal Crucible hebben een korte video gemaakt van wat in hun ogen een buitenaards schip is dat de activiteiten van het Amerikaanse ruimtevaartagentschap nauwgezet volgt.
“Er zijn opmerkelijke beelden opgedoken van een mogelijke vliegende schotel die de bemanning van Apollo 15 op de maan gadeslaat,” aldus de beschrijving onder de video. “Op de beelden, die zijn gemaakt door astronaut Jim Irwin, is een schotelvormig vaartuig te zien dat boven het maanoppervlak zweeft.”
Onder de beschrijving is een link te vinden naar de oorspronkelijke NASA-video. Irwin was de achtste man op de maan en stierf in 1991 op 61-jarige leeftijd aan hartfalen.
Paranormal Crucible heeft de kleuren in de video aangepast zodat het object gemakkelijker is te zien. Een robotstem zegt dat de schaduw van de UFO duidelijk waarneembaar is nadat dit eenmaal is gedaan.
Sceptici zijn van mening dat er een meer aardse verklaring is voor het object, waaronder lichteffecten, vreemd gevormde stenen of beeldmanipulatie.

RECTANGULAR CRAFT SPOTTED IN PENNSYLVANIA MAY 23, 2015 ………… WEST VIEW PENNSYLVANIA
I saw something odd in the skies over West View on Saturday May 23, 2015. It was around 1 pm. I was walking back from Bellevue, on the bridge headed back to West View, the one that passes over Route 279. I looked up and to my right, maybe 15-20° or so, I saw something very strange: a square object off to the right in the general direction of the West View Park Shopping Center and as much as several hundred feet off the ground. It looked like it – guessing here – maybe a mile away. It was about as big as a postage stamp at arm’s length. Here is the obligatory crackpot disclaimer: I’m not one. This is my first such report and my first such experience. Just so it is clear, I saw this object, whatever “it” was, I saw it as plainly as I have ever seen anything in my life. My problem is that I don’t know what I unmistakably saw. This isn’t a case where something flashed by – maybe – and I wondered not only what I had seen but whether I had seen anything at all. I saw this; I saw it distinctly; I watched it for a good five minutes. It was outlined completely against the sky so it was unmistakably IN THE AIR. It was a dark green though I couldn’t make out any further detail. It wasn’t shaped like any aircraft I have ever seen (nor did it resemble any flying saucer I have ever seen in books).
There were no wings or rotors or propellers or fins. It made no noise; at least that I could hear. It was a SQUARE; A BIG DARK GREEN SQUARE UP IN THE AIR. I couldn’t even tell if it was a cube. It was like it was facing me. I thought at first that it might be some kind of promotional float at the WVPSC especially with it being a holiday weekend, but it was moving and it had no writing on it (at least that I could see). (West View had its Memorial Day parade on Monday, two days after my sighting.) It ended up drifting off directly away from me, in an easterly direction until it disappeared over the tree-line. It wasn’t a balloon. It wasn’t tear-drop shaped; there was no basket underneath it with people in it. It was much too big to be a kite. It wasn’t shaped like a blimp or anything that flies around. Other people had to see it. It was just off a major thoroughfare, Route 279 in the middle of a sunny weekend day. If you’re wondering, I don’t have a camera phone so I don’t have a picture of it.
My hope is that someone else has already contacted you about what I saw and so you already know what it is I saw. While I have numerous books about UFO, I remain unconvinced of any particular viewpoint. The only thing I am certain of is that the official explanations in all the best cases are unconvincing.
Former Airman Abducted Experimented On And Forced Into Life Of Slavery On Secret Moon Base
A former U.S. Air Force radar tracking operator recalls her traumatic experience of being abducted multiple times, experimented on, and forced into slave labor on a secret moon base.
In 1980, an unexpected event changed Niara Terela Isley’s life forever. While traveling with some of her colleagues on a mission at the Tonopah Test Range, their aircraft encountered a glowing UFO that maintained course alongside them. Ground control instructed them to get a radar lock and intercept the flying saucer.
Upon landing, Isley and her colleagues were quickly taken into custody by one of the Air Force’s covert branches.
In a book she wrote, the former airman describes her ordeal. Over the course of several months, Isley was abducted about 8 to 10 times and taken to a secret moon base on the dark side of the Moon. The base was under the control of reptilian beings but operated by human personnel. Isley claims that like her, most of them were held there against their will.
Many abductees say one of the bases on the Moon resembles the Pentagon.
I was very poorly fed and worked hard during the day cycle, operating some kind of electronic equipment for excavation at times, and doing physical manual labor at others, such as lifting and stacking boxes.
Worst of all, I was used for sex during what passed for night there, from man to man,” she wrote.
The pinnacle of this inhumane treatment was a long string of experiments designed to mentally wear her down and remove her free will. The medical procedures were performed by Gray extraterrestrials, which means that the conspiracy runs deep.
And so it went on and on for months until she was finally released. But Isley is convinced she wasn’t set free without first being subjected to a memory wipe.
In fact, she says that an acute absence of memories from that period tipped her off she might have been the victim of an abduction. For a period of three months in 1980, Isley had no memories although at the time she was working for the U.S. Air Force.
Unnerved by her missing time, she underwent hypnosis and recovered her suppressed memories. It seems like the memory wipe was unsuccessful.
Niara Terela Isley and many other abductees are convinced that most—if not all—abductions are actually performed or supported by military forces worldwide. A popular conspiracy theory calls these operations MILABs (Military Abductions) and hypothesizes they are way more common than you would think. Isley and her peers recommend hypnosis therapy to anyone who’s experienced long periods of missing time.
While Isley brings little evidence in support of her testimony (besides her testimony), she does bring up several interesting points.
The presence of a joint Reptilian-Gray-human secret base on our satellite is worrisome and the abduction phenomenon is alarming, to say the least. But the perspective of unwillingly carrying memories of being forced into slavery and routinely experimented on is something else—the seed of paranoia.

Vreemde UFO boven en in Chinese tempel ( Video )
Vreemde UFO boven en in Chinese tempel ( Video )
Chinese monniken zien in de late avond van afgelopen 29 mei een vreemde spookachtige UFO boven hun klooster hangen.
Het object dat alsmaar van vorm verandert, hangt zo’n zeven minuten boven en in de tempel in de plaats Anhui.
De monniken zeggen dat ze werden gealarmeerd doordat de alarminstallatie afging.
Wat het ook was dat de monniken zagen boven hun tempel, het veranderde alsmaar van vorm. In eerste instantie werd het omschreven als een appel, toen als een klassieke vliegende schotel en later als een soort zittende boeddha.
Een geraadpleegde “expert” komt met de uitleg van een insect die te dichtbij de camera vloog.
Het object was in ieder geval groot/krachtig genoeg om de alarmsystemen te laten afgaan toen het de hal van de tempel binnenvloog.
De videobeelden die onderaan staan laten zien dat het object uit de lucht kwam rond elf uur ’s avonds en boven de Baita tempel bleef hangen.
Het verdween kort enkele minuten uit het zicht en op een gegeven moment verscheen het weer in de hal van de tempel voor een seconde of tien.
Het schijnt dat na een minuut of zeven de UFO snel begon rond te draaien om vervolgens uit beeld te schieten, middenin een zware regenbui.
De monniken in de tempel stonden en staan met de mond open en hebben geen flauw idee wat dit zou kunnen zijn.
Eén van de monniken, Shi Xingkong, zei: “Toen ik het alarm hoorde afgaan, stond ik op om het uit te doen en ging naar buiten waar ik niets ongewoons zag.
Het was pas toen ik op de monitor keek dat ik de UFO zag, waarover hij bovendien zegt dat hij er nooit eerder een heeft gezien.
Een andere monnik, Chen Songzheng, zei: “Als de UFO niet de tempel was binnen gegaan dan had het niet het infrarode alarmsysteem in werking gezet en hadden wij niet geweten dat het daar was.
Uiteraard komen dan de “experts” ten tonele die wel even zullen uitleggen wat het dan wel was. Volgens de ene was het een insect die te dichtbij de camera kwam en volgens een andere jawel daar istie weer, een drone.
Het voorval is hoe dan ook ontzettend populair op de sociale media in China en een groot deel van de bevolking houdt het dan ook op een buitenaards voertuig.
UFOs Down Under: How Real Australian UFO Hunters Train Their Investigators
UFOs Down Under: How Real Australian UFO Hunters Train Their Investigators
Victorian UFO Action members (from left) - Investigator Ivan Rigoni, Director Ben Hurle and Founder Andrew Arnold VUFOA
An Australian group of UFO hunters has introduced in-house training and an examination, to ensure that its members know how to deal with the public properly, but the exam will not be added to the TAFE curriculum in the near future, as reported by the Australian media.
"Our first test was held on Sunday but its still in its infancy," Ivan Rigoni, Victorian UFO Action's (VUFOA's) investigations case coordinator tells IBTimes UK.
"The test touches on preliminary research and investigation. It's an educational tool to help our investigators realise the difference between natural phenomena like meteors, stars, the lunar cycle, ball lightning and cloud formations, as opposed to man-made phenomena like weather balloons, aircraft and drones.
"The test also touches on how to write a report; how to conduct yourself with a witness, what questions to ask; and how to determine whether someone might be hoaxing or if it's a misidentified object."
Their training manual is two inches thick and the group hopes to eventually be able to offer advanced investigation training to their members. However, while they wouldn't rule out making their qualification a formal one, it's not the most important thing.
Unidentified, not extra-terrestrial
VUFOA was started in 2008 by Andrew Arnold, a keen documentary maker who continues to document the group's cases in YouTube videos.
Anyone can join VUFOA – they just have to have a genuine interest in UFOs, pass the in-house test, and make an efffort to attend weekly meetings.
The group's main activities consist of investigating UFO sightings in Victoria, as well as researching and collating data on UFOs in a database and manning a 24-hour hotline for the public.
The 15-member strong team includes investigators, a disclosure document specialist with access to 240,000 previously classified documents from different countries, and a qualified in-house hypnotherapist, who is available to counsel citizens who claim to have been abducted by aliens.
However the group makes a clear distinction to demonstrate that it operates from a position of science.
"UFO stands for unidentified flying object, we don't perceive it as being extra-terrestrials," explains Rigoni.
"We like tangible evidence that can be qualified and quantified. We tend to stay away from alien abduction. It's foolish to assume we're alone in the universe and we all presume [extra-terrestrials exist], but I've never seen or touched ET or an alien space ship."
The group investigates about 150 cases a year of reported sightings of UFOs, and the hotline is most busy during winter and summer.
Often, people will call VUFOA claiming to see lights in the sky during the summer, says Rigoni.
However, these sightings are usually confused with the planet Venus, which is visible low in the sky, and as the Earth rotates, appears to move over half hour-to-hourly intervals.
Unsolved cases
Besides investigating new sightings, the group also looks into infamous UFO cold cases that have puzzled Australians for decades.
One of the cases they recently looked into was the Burkes Flat case, which is one of the most famous UFO incidents in Victoria's history.
Two men experienced a UFO encounter on two separate nights in 1966 in the same location. The first, Ron Sullivan, saw coloured floating lights in a field by the road. He also saw his car headlights bend off to the right, causing him to almost drive straight into a tree.
The Albanvale UFO, recorded on video last year by Ivan RigoniVUFOA
Unfortunately, the same thing is believed to have happened to another man, Gary Taylor, who was killed in a car accident when his car collided with the same tree two nights later.
When police investigated Sullivan's report, they found a shallow depression in the ground exactly where Sullivan saw the coloured lights.
Each member of VUFOA has seen an unidentified flying object and continues to search for answers, including Rigoni, who recorded seven minutes of footage last year of a strange floating object in Albanvale.
"Through history, the [Australian] government and authorities have willingly and knowingly hidden possible cases and occurrences to which they have no answer for," he says.
"I think that the perception of UFOs [in Australia] is changing. They're more accepting of it now. There are a lot of cases out there that don't get reported, but it's definitely getting bigger."

NASA has more chances of finding alien life on exoplanets with earth-like circular orbits, study
NASA has more chances of finding alien life on exoplanets with earth-like circular orbits, study
According to scientists, exoplanets the same size as earth orbit their own star the same way Earth orbits our sun. This can help them find and identify planets that potentially have extraterrestrial life.
Scientists were debating whether our own planet’s orbit was the exception or the rule. To set the question to rest, Scientists from MIT and Denmark’s Aarhus University set out to examine 74 exoplanets travelling around 28 stars.
According to a visiting grad student at MIT Department of Physics, Vincent Van Eylen “Twenty years ago, we only knew about our solar system, and everything was circular and so everyone expected circular orbits everywhere. Then we started finding giant exoplanets, and we found suddenly a whole range of eccentricities, so there was an open question about whether this would also hold for smaller planets.”
Scientists now believe that planets follow roughly equidistant circular orbits, as long as they are as small as the earth.
Unlike Earth sized planets, giant exoplanets follow rather eccentric orbits, getting extremely close to their hot star then going very far away after.
Knowing that Earth sized exoplanets follow a stable orbit will greatly change how scientists look for life.
According to Van Eylen If eccentric orbits are common for habitable planets, that would be quite a worry for life, because they would have such a large range of climate properties, but what we find is, probably we don’t have to worry too much because circular cases are fairly common.”
U.I.P World Exclusive: Nick Pope Answers YOUR Questions
U.I.P World Exclusive: Nick Pope Answers YOUR Questions
We recently asked you guys for YOUR questions to Nick Pope, John Burroughs and Jim Penniston (John and Jim were two of the key witnesses to the Redlesham Forest incident) and we now have your answers!
Nick Pope has kindly agreed to answer the questions in full and has come back with some very thought provoking/interesting answers!
As most of you will know Nick is ex British Ministry of Defence (MOD) and in his time spent a long stint being responsible for the UK’s UFO investigations, which even though he has now retired from the MOD he is still hungry for the TRUTH.
Nick has become a very popular face in the UFO world of research, he was part of the team involved with the ‘Citizen Hearing’ event back in 2013, answering questions and discussing about the events that happened in Rendlesham Forest – Nick has worked closely with John Burroughs and Jim Pennsiston, in order to help try and uncover what they had witnessed that night back in 1980. Nick, John and Jim all helped put together the incredible book ‘Encounter in Rendlesham Forest‘ (U.I.P highly recommends to you all).
A book we all at U.I.P recommend you own!
Nick has attended many TV shows and news channel interviews throughout the world and has appeared as contributor on numerous US and UK documentaries on networks including Discovery Channel, History Channel, National Geographic and the BBC.
Nick also lectures all around the world, has addressed the Oxford Union and the Cambridge Union Society, as well as speaking at the Royal Albert Hall, the Science Museum and Global Competitiveness Forum 2011, where other speakers included President Bill Clinton and former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair….BUT now our U.I.P followers it is YOUR time to ask the questions to Nick Pope.
This is now U.I.P’s second major U.I.P interview (please check Steve Bassett’s out HERE) and we would like to personally thank Nick sincerely for this kind time and efforts with this.
U.I.P
Nick Popes Answers to your questions
Question: I have a couple of questions please (1) what does John Believe it is he saw in the Forest that night? And (2) Nick do YOU believe Aliens are visiting us? Thank you (Scott Wicker)
Answer: I don’t think there’s any definitive ‘you can take that to the bank’ proof, but there’s plenty of intriguing evidence, and I certainly remain open-minded about the possibilities. We should always bear in mind that the skeptics need to be right every single time, but the believers only need to be right once! (N.P)
Question: for both, Nick and John. I’m interested in Glowing Orbs phenomena, similar to Hessdalen Lights or Fire, recently seen over Massachusetts, and few more places across America and the rest of the world. So, do you think that those glowing orbs have any connection with bigger form of intelligent life? Sent like patrol, and do they observe us in a way, since they reveal their existence, or there is something bigger in question? (Matea Pandzic )
Answer: Orbs are certainly a global phenomenon, but as with UFOs, I very much doubt that there’s a single, neat solution that’s going to explain every sighting. So, as with the wider UFO phenomenon, there are likely to be several things going on here, in parallel: some misidentifications, some hoaxes, and maybe something else. (N.P)
Question: Nick and John I have both read your fantastic book, thank you! Question to you both, do you believe that what John saw that night was there for a reason and will one day return?! (Mikey)
Answer: Thank you for your kind words about our book. I’m glad you enjoyed it and found it interesting. I think it’s clear that whatever John Burroughs, Jim Penniston and others encountered in Rendlesham Forest was under intelligent control. That being the case, it was certainly there for a reason. As to whether or not it will return, I don’t know. I certainly hope so. (N.P)
Question: Does John think they were malevolent or benevolent aliens? Do they think when we finally get disclosure will it be a watered down version or full disclosure??(Rex)
Answer: It depends what there is to disclose. If there’s a spaceship in a hangar smoking gun, fair enough, there’s something tangible to reveal, but what if the situation is less clear-cut? What if even the authorities have no clear idea of what’s going on? That’s why I make the distinction between disclosure with a big D and disclosure with a little d. (N.P)
Question: My question for Nick is if disclosure comes, will is negatively or positively affect the world’s religious beliefs and the world Government system? (Anietie Joseph Stephen)
Answer: It’s almost impossible to answer questions like this, because there are so many variables. But I attended two Royal Society discussion meetings in the UK back in 2010 that addressed questions such as this, and interestingly, the consensus was that barring some “Independence Day” style alien invasion, simply announcing the discovery or existence of extraterrestrial life might not have the big impacts people often think about. The main reason is that so many people already think this is a reality, and self-evidently, you don’t shock people by telling them something they already believe. Theologian Ted Peters has done some specific research into the likely implications for religion, and far from finding that the existence of alien life would shatter people’s faith, he found it would reinforce their religious belief, by making God’s creation seem even more expansive. One can clearly see the Catholic Church positioning itself for such an announcement. Do they know something? I doubt it. Are they hedging their bets so they can say “we told you so”? Very possibly! (N.P)
Question: Has there ever been an alien incident where they have gained entry to the air force bases that they know of? (Rex Kelly )
Answer: There have been plenty of cases where UFOs have been seen in close proximity to military bases, and indeed directly overhead, but I can’t recall anything that would fit the description “gained entry”. That said, a UFO over a close to a military base is, in and of itself, a security issue. (N.P)
Question: Has there been any more progress deciphering the code imprinted on john (Vanessa)
Answer: It’s Jim Penniston – and not John Burroughs – who’s associated with the binary code message. Work on this real-life Da Vinci Code is continuing, and an eclectic mix of computer programmers, esoteric authors, cryptographers, physicists and ufologists are struggling to make sense of the codes. A potential decoding of the message was given in our book on the case, “Encounter in Rendlesham Forest”, but people are digging deeper, to see if there’s a message hidden deeper in the code. If I still worked at the MoD I could have asked GCHQ to try to crack the code (and maybe they’ve tried to do this anyway), but now that I’ve left government service, these resources are no longer available to me. Jim Penniston is best-placed to update people on The Rendlesham Code. (N.P)
Question: I would love to ask nick pope & john Burroughs a question; what the best and most compelling evidence of UFO and alien existence you have witnessed and why? And was this evidence ever released or seen by the public? Many thanks (Cj Bird)
Answer: I think the most compelling UFO incident that I’ve come across is the Rendlesham Forest incident, and if you’ll forgive a book plug, I put the best available evidence in “Encounter in Rendlesham Forest”, the book on the case that I co-authored with John Burroughs and Jim Penniston. (N.P)
Question: And for plate shaped UFO’s, do they have any connection with the military, because I believe the most of real seen UFO’s are military connected., so the last question remains; where they got that kind of technology? Thank you. (Matea Pandiz)
Answer: UFOs come in all shapes and sizes, but so do aircraft and drones, so it’s often difficult to tell whether some UFO sightings are misidentifications of secret prototype aircraft/drones, or something else. In strictly aerodynamic terms, however, saucer-shaped craft are very difficult to fly. (N.P)
Question: Does Nick/John think these UFOs we are seeing as lights and orbs are extra-dimensional?(Evon Aherne )
Answer: I don’t know. A few years ago such a concept would have been dismissed as science fiction, but now, scientists at the Large Hadron Collider are openly discussing the possibility that the LHC will discover proof of so-called “hidden dimensions”, so who knows? (N.P)
Question: I’d like to ask about the something I heard about the president’s book of secrets. Of course it is a secret so may not be easy to answer, but…I’ve heard there was 1 hostile/aggressive encounter. Do u have any info on this encounter? Thanks! (Julie Moore)
Answer: I suspect the idea that there is a “President’s Book of Secrets” owes more to fiction than fact, but I guess if such a thing exists, there may well be information about UFOs in it. (N.P)
Question: Do they believe official full disclosure will happen anytime soon? (Dave Avery)
Answer: With the declassification and release of various country’s UFO files we’re arguably already getting disclosure with a little d. As to disclosure with a big D, as I’ve said previously, it depends what there is to disclose. (N.P)
Question: Is the top secret TR-3B a reversed alien technology from other secret bases besides area 51? And which aliens are we working with between the 4 types that we know of. And last, is there any truth the illuminati group and are they have connections to alien alliances?(David Brooks)
Answer: If we had extraterrestrial technology I’m certain we’d try to back-engineer it, but so far as I’m aware, all the top secret prototypes we have are the product of decidedly human ingenuity. I don’t buy into theories about the Illuminati, I’m afraid. (N.P)
Question: Nick/John – what do they think of the possibility that the world really is already run by either one or several Alien races? And that is why we the ordinary people of the human race never get to know the real truth. (Teemu Nyholm)
Answer: I don’t believe such theories at all. If aliens are secretly running the world, they’re doing a pretty poor job. (N.P)
Question: What am I possibly seeing when I look up (with telescope) at night, e.g., bright blue lights, pulsing, more than 1 at times, – an always moving at incredible speeds, and impossible manoeuvring stopping, then moving off at different angles, side by side, I saw this on 2 diff locations (like the lights were playing, almost,) on different nights, months apart, What could I be seeing in the late-night skies, every other night? (Christopher Leigh Hamilton)
Answer: It’s almost impossible to say from a description only, and I recommend that you contact an organisation such as BUFORA or ASSAP, so that they can investigate these sightings thoroughly. (N.P)
Question: Have you heard of a pulse drive technology? Is this from alien involvement or is technology from our government. And what do you think of ancient aliens program and the truth behind the show….(David Brooks)
Answer: I’ve heard of pulse drive technology, though as ever, there’s something of a dogfight over this, between theoretical physicists and engineers. In other words, it’s one thing to come up with theories and ideas, but it’s quite another to actually build something! I’ve appeared on “Ancient Aliens” many times, but I don’t buy into the central premise of the show, so I confine my interviews to my own areas of knowledge and expertise. Love it or hate it, the show has been a huge success and has done a lot to show TV network executives just how much interest there is in all this. (N.P)
Question: Nick, He sits on the fence sometimes and yet says something and then nothing. Do you still have to be careful with what you say Nick as I have read that you cannot disclose specific information until so many years after working for the MOD? (Peterkirklive Bideford)
Answer: I’ve heard the accusation that I “sit on the fence” and while I take the point, I think it stems from the fact that unlike true believers or die-hard debunkers (who are absolutely certain that their view is correct) I’m not afraid to say “I don’t know”. But to answer the specific question, my secrecy oath (The UK’s Official Secrets Act) binds me for life, and inevitably this places limits on what I can say. (N.P)
Question: when is NASA going to tell the TRUTH. Do you believe NASA are hiding secrets from us about the UFO’s? (Daniel Vargo)
Answer: I know a few people in NASA and the funny thing is that they’re quite open to a lot of this. A lot of other scientists criticise NASA for being too keen to say “aliens”. Look at the row over the Martian meteorite, cited by NASA as being evidence of fossilised microbial extraterrestrial life. Many scientists accused NASA of jumping the gun and being too credulous. Most NASA/UFO theories revolve around people spotting anomalies in NASA’s own photos and videos, so it would be a pretty inept cover-up if the gatekeepers of this great secret kept slipping up and accidentally releasing evidence of extraterrestrial activity. (N.P)
Question: Nick – Whilst working for the MOD, did you come across something or maybe some secret video project related to aliens, which makes you want to carry on exploring the aliens even after you have left your job? (Dalibor Lalic)
Answer: No, I didn’t. But the mystery was too exciting to abandon and the question of whether or not we’re alone in the Universe is one the biggest and most profound questions we can ask, so that’s why I stay involved, long after I stopped working for the government on this issue. (N.P)
Question: Are we ever going to unite with Alien neighbours? When there was an intergalactic fight in the sky long ago, were they protecting us/earth – is there any proof of this?? (PJ Trivium)
Answer: If there are other civilisations out there, I’m sure that we’ll take our place alongside them at some stage. But there’s no proof of ancient battles between alien races, with the earth being protected somehow. (N.P)
Question: Jordan 1996 British Army I was witness to a UFO nick was this ever reported to you (Maximus Orillias Price)
Answer: My time on the MoD’s UFO project (N.P)
Question: Nick – I read an article the other day, I’ve tried to find it again to double check names, (it was on another page) but it appeared to dismiss the whole Rendlesham thing. A guy I think called Conroy who was a superior officer, claims the whole thing was a hoax. Perpetrated by other US. Personnel after the original investigating guys confused the nearby lighthouse for an alien craft. He even said the Geiger counter picked up nothing unusual. Which contradicts everything I had heard previously. Are Mr Pope and the others aware of this, and have they retained any physical evidence, other than what we know already exists. I.E the actual radio/ phone tapes etc.? It sounded to me like a smokescreen to undermine the actual facts of the case, I can’t believe so many military personnel would confuse a fricking lighthouse for a UFO over 2 separate nights but I’m curious if they are aware of this sideways shift in the story? (Simon Farren)
Answer: I’m not sure what article you’ve seen, but the senior officer you mention is almost certainly Colonel Ted Conrad, who was the base commander at the time of the incident. One ufologist claims to have spoken to him, but I’m not aware of any independent corroboration of this, so it’s far from certain this actually happened. As for the theory about the lighthouse, this is being perpetuated by an amateur astronomer dishonestly trying to position himself as an expert on the case. The lighthouse isn’t even visible from most of the locations from which the UFO was seen, so this theory holds no water.(N.P)
Question: Is the latest outbreak in the past 5-10 years of “mainstream” media covering and reporting and UFO activity (i.e. documentaries, news reports, movies etc.) an attempt at a global preparation of acceptance?(Mitchell Keena)
Answer: I don’t think so. I think it simply reflects the fact that TV network executives, newspaper editors and other media professionals recognise that there’s huge public interest in this subject at the moment. (N.P)
Question: Hi I have a question: The base air traffic controller stated that he saw an inbound bogey coming in extremely fast, however it then flew onto Bentwaters airfield right alongside the ATC tower and then stopped, hovered with bright multi coloured lights and was massive, only to then shoot off at unbelievable speed. Can he comment on the validity of this storey and was it witnessed by other personnel at the base? (Tony Eve)
Answer: We detail some of the radar data relating to this case in “Encounter in Rendlesham Forest”, name the personnel involved, and reproduce one of the key MoD documents relating to radar evidence. This is certainly one of the most important and best-evidenced aspects of the Rendlesham Forest incident. (N.P)
Question: “Yes” or “No” do you believe the Roswell incident was indeed a crashed UFO? (Nic Jarvis)
Answer: No.
Question: I would like to know where I should go on vacation to most likely have a UFO sighting. (Jody Kyle Faulkner)
Answer: Probably Rendlesham Forest! It’s still an active location, by all accounts. In America, you can probably hang around Area 51, but anything strange you see may just be the next generation stealth fighter. (N.P)
Question: If it is true that the reptilian control the illuminati, so it means that reptilian are a threat to humanity? Or is this all one big made up story? (Agnes Dolosa)
Answer: It’s all one big made up story. (N.P)
Question: Nick – ok here is a question… Could the mysterious humming sounds that are heard around the UK be caused by a hidden Alien communication station located near or in the forest? A friend of mine says that apparently the sound is super intrusive that people have committed suicide because of it. (Renata Gill)
Answer: I’m sceptical about this theory, and suspect it has more to do with power lines than with anything extraterrestrial. (N.P)
Question: Could you ask Nick on his views of UFOs using Lightning as a power source? I have been lucky enough to have seen this seen several during a thunder and lightning storm and would like to know his opinion? (Robbie Hodson)
I’ve heard various theories about what any visiting extraterrestrials might be using for power, including water, nuclear energy and lightning. They’re all good theories, I think, but the honest answer is that we simply don’t know. It’s all just speculation. (N.P)
Question: Do they think that it’s the ETs who are stopping disclosure from happening and not the governments?? (Chris Davis)
Answer: There’s certainly some logic in the argument that if we’re being visited by intelligent extraterrestrials, they – and not our own governments – would be setting the agenda. But again, the honest answer is that we simply don’t know. (N.P)
Question: In 2012 in the month of July I was on vacation with my daughter in Greece on the island of Lefkada, for 3 days in the sky there were three unknown objects shaped fireball coming down at high speed, stopped and then made the rounds and stunts above me and my daughter to a supersonic speed that any land vehicle would not have been able to do. It seemed that these fiery objects were playing with us, we were changing the direction of the car and they did the same, when we were still, even these unknown objects were standing. The day we boarded the ship to Italy, these three objects have skirted the ship doing frighten all passengers, rose shooting then descended on us giving impression that they would hit the ship, then they went racing .. .. All this and lasted about two hours, after which they stopped on the ship for about 5 minutes and then departed rocket disappearing from sight in about 10 seconds. All passengers were terrified, see 3 balls of fire that turned around the ship giving impression that at any moment to another we would hit and sunk … but then are splashed up and disappeared…. I do not understand why these 3 fireballs have done all this, because we have passed two hours of terror on the ship if he showed that they did not want to hurt any of us??? In your opinion what is the point to do all this and then fly out after letting us take a great fear??? (Nina Rubino)
Answer: Thank you for sharing this fascinating account, and I’m sorry that everyone was so scared by this. I can only suggest that you contact a UFO organisation such as MUFON, and ask that they conduct a full investigation into what happened. (N.P)
Question: Can you ask either of them if they have heard of ‘Daryll Anka’ who apparently channels another being called ‘BASHAR’… And what do they think of him and the details of the history and future of our race as well as the 2015/16 events leading up to 2025/30 first contact?? (Alex Summers)
Answer: The old intelligence analyst assessment “interesting if true” applies to Bashar and indeed to all channelled information. If any of this is to be accepted as true, we’d need some proof, e.g. a solution to some unsolved mathematics problems such as the P versus NP problem. Until and unless Bashar can come up with a solution, there’s no need to take any of these people seriously.(N.P)
Question: Nick in your opinion, do you personally think the triangles are man-made? We have seen them twice and we can’t explain how they could be…?(Melissa Sanders Giger)
Answer: Some delta and triangular-shaped UFOs are almost certainly secret prototype aircraft and drones, but as for the rest, we don’t know. As I often say, the believers only have to be right once. (N.P)
2 Questions – Jim Fisher
1) Is it really possible a shadow organization within our government keeps information from the president…..Truman didn’t know about the A bomb until he was president …..If so, who really controls our government?
I’m sceptical about this, because the President – as Commander-in-Chief – is the only person authorised to launch military action. So it’s difficult to envisage any circumstances under which the President wouldn’t be briefed on all this. (N.P)
2) What if these visitors are really time travelling humans, coming back to research ancient history? I personally believe many of the sightings are just that….not aliens from another planet just humans from the future. …? Do they have any thoughts on this?
Answer: Theories about time travel are just as valid as those about extraterrestrials, or other dimensions. The truth is, we simply don’t know.(N.P)
Question: What’s taking so long for them to make contact with everyone not just random people?? (Frank Camarillo)
Answer: We should try to avoid taking an anthropocentric view of the situation, and realise that not everything revolves around us. If we’re being visited by extraterrestrial civilisations, the chances are that they’re considerably more advanced than us, so they’ll be setting the agenda and the timescale – not us. (N.P)
Question: To Nick Pope: in your opinion, do you think disclosure could happen this year or will there be a false flag event? I feel the more we are coming to disclosure the more the powers that be are creating wars as diversion (Nile Jordan)
Answer: I’m not a believer in false flag events (I don’t believe in conspiracy theories about 9/11) and as for disclosure, as I’ve said before, it depends what there is to disclose. (N.P)
Question: I would like information on the rumours of an Earth/ alien solar system space fleet rumoured to exist with a list of non-terrestrial officers also, any information on alien bases on the moon.(Michael Howard)
Answer: Such claims are based on the work of computer hacker Gary McKinnon, and I’m afraid I can’t evaluate of this. Again, “interesting if true”. (N.P)
Question: Just want to ask nick Pope his thoughts on the Dudley Dorito UFO?? (Brian Horton)
Answer: There have certainly been some bizarre sightings in this area, but whether there’s a single explanation, I’m afraid I don’t know.(N.P)
Question: After 2 white light UFO sightings, I have seen a weird bat like creature appear out of an area of light in the night sky. Was that a mothman? Are mothmen connected to ufos? Do you believe in the Mothman myth?? (Rosalie Dunstan)
Answer: This sounds fascinating, but I’m not an expert on the Mothman theories, so I’m afraid I can’t offer any definitive explanation as to what you saw. (N.P)
Question: Why UFO are being sighted all over the world? Is the time near for them to be openly visible to human and why only now? (Tairain Dyaran)
Answer: I think the UFO phenomenon has always been global, but as to whether or not it’s time for them to be openly visible, I’m afraid that I don’t know. (N.P)
Question: I recently saw what I took for a UFO (I am thinking black triangle) but the light patterns were different that those previously reported. I am wondering with the amount of evidence available as to different shapes of craft how much evidence is there about different lighting patterns? (Richard Buie)
Answer: I think that for any meaningful trend analysis, as opposed to examining UFO sightings on a case by case basis, one would have to engage with an organisation such as U.I.P or MUFON. (N.P)
Question: Has there ever been an instance when a missing person returned from an abduction exactly the same way they were last seen or returned in a different country? (Tracer Hamilton)
Answer: Not as far as I’m aware. The best such case that I’m familiar with is that of Travis Walton, who had a UFO encounter and was declared missing, only to appear some days later and some considerable distance away. (N.P)
Question: We keep hearing dates for disclosure, Is there a very probable date or do we really don’t know??? (Johnny Styles )
Answer: We don’t really know, though I’m tempted to say that when the Square Kilometre Radio telescope is fully operational, towards the end of the 2020s, we’ll be able to detect any other civilisations in this small corner of our Milky Way galaxy. (N.P)
Question: Can you ask Nick if he thinks activity has spiked all over the world or is it that more people are aware and now there is a camera in most people’s hands 24/7 making documentation easy? Just interested to see if what we are seeing is record sightings. (Hashim Yilmaz)
Answer: I think it’s a chicken and egg situation. We don’t really know whether or not sightings have increased, or whether it’s simply that because more people carry cell phones capable of taking photos or videos, we have more data.(N.P)
I have a few questions to both gentlemen… (Obviously they are quite a few lol so if not possible to answer all, I would be happy with answers to whichever ones they or you choose) First of all, I want to say THANK YOU to both of them for agreeing to do this as well as UIP for arranging it all. (Hellie Flow)
My questions are:
Regarding the Rendlesham Forrest Incident….
1) Why Rendlesham Forrest? Why do you think these beings, whoever they are chose to land there and what is the reason there has been so many sightings in that particular area? What do you think or know they were doing there? Why is that particular place on Earth of such interest to them?
Answer: I suspect that RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge are inherently more interesting than Rendlesham Forest.
2) Did you feel any different physically or mentally during and after the incident?
N/A
3) Do you think whoever was there was aware you too where there? Do you think they knew you saw them?
N/A
General Questions….
1) How many alien races are you aware of that are visiting us at this point?
Answer: We have no idea. The answer could be none, or it could be an incredibly high number.
2) Do you believe there may be one or more alien races that are actually protecting us and trying to help us and vice versa, do you believe one or more alien races have bad intentions towards us and want to harm us?
Answer: Again, sadly, I have no idea. I think we should try to get away from anthropocentric ideas of good aliens and bad aliens. The truth may be far more subtle and complex.
3) Why do you think aliens are interested in us? Do you believe they created us and have always been around (which is what I believe)? Or do you think we are in some way unique and special compared to other planets out there and they are probably just fascinated by us?
Answer: If we’re being observed by intelligent extraterrestrials, I suspect they’d be interested in us for the same reason that we’d be interested in them. They’d be scientists, explorers and anthropologists.
End Of Questions.
A big thank you again to Nick from all of us here at U.I.P and all of our fantastic followers for your time and effort with answering these questions, lots of fantastic thought provoking answ }ers here!
We look forward to supporting Nick in the exciting times ahead…

There’s a planet between Mars and Jupiter you’ve probably never heard of…
There’s a planet between Mars and Jupiter you’ve probably never heard of…
This animation showcases a series of images NASA's Dawn spacecraft took on approach to Ceres on Feb. 4, 2015 at a distance of about 90,000 miles (145,000 kilometers) from the dwarf planet.
Way out beyond Mars, but before you get to Jupiter, is a planet.
You read that right. There’s a planet between Mars and Jupiter.
You may not have heard of it, but it was discovered in 1801 — 129 years before Pluto. It originally was called a planet, then later an asteroid and now it’s called a dwarf planet.
Its name is Ceres (pronounced like series) and you’ll likely be hearing a lot more about it in the coming weeks.
Ceres is one of five named dwarf planets recognized by NASA and the International Astronomical Union (IAU). The other four are Eris, Pluto, Makemake and Haumea.
But Ceres is the first of these worlds to get a visitor from Earth: NASA’s Dawn spacecraft is arriving on March 6.
“Ceres is a ‘planet’ that you’ve probably never heard of,” said Robert Mase, Dawn project manager at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
Ceres may be considered a dwarf planet, but it’s “the giant of the main asteroid belt,” Dr. Marc Rayman, chief engineer and mission director of the Dawn mission, told CNN. “It is not only the largest object between Mars and Jupiter, it is the largest object between the sun and Pluto that a spacecraft has not yet visited.”
“We are tremendously excited,” Rayman said. “We have guided this robotic probe for well over seven years on an interplanetary journey of more than 3 billion miles. Along the way we sailed past Mars. We spent 14 months orbiting and scrutinizing the giant protoplanet Vesta. … Now, finally, we are on the verge of conducting the first exploration ever of the first dwarf planet.”
New images from Dawn, taken when the probe was about 52,000 miles (83,000 kilometers) from Ceres, show craters and what NASA calls mysterious bright spots. Rayman said its surface is pretty beaten up and that the craters that are “scars from life in the rough and tumble asteroid belt.”
Why study a beaten-up space rock? Rayman said because it’s a survivor — and a mysterious one. Made up of rock and ice, Ceres may even have liquid water deep beneath its surface — “perhaps as ponds or lakes or even oceans,” Rayman said.
He said Ceres “appears to have been in the process of growing to become a full-sized planet when Jupiter terminated its growth nearly 4.6 billion years ago.”
So by studying Ceres, scientists learn more about how the rest of the solar system formed. And he said, we should study Ceres because it’s there — and we need to understand the universe we live in. “We should study it because we hunger for knowledge and understanding. Grand undertakings like this nurture our spirit,” Rayman said.
Rayman said that if you had learned about the solar system 200 years ago, “you would have learned that Ceres was a planet, just as people who learned about the solar system in more recent generations learned that Pluto is.”
Speaking of Pluto, the most famous of the dwarf planets gets its own visitor in July. The New Horizons spacecraft is closing in for a flyby of Pluto and its moons.
This talk of planets and dwarf planets is still a little confusing, so here’s the most recent tally: NASA currently recognizes eight planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, and the five named dwarf planets we listed earlier.
But a sixth possible dwarf planet already is on NASA’s watch list.
Called 2012 VP113, it’s believed to be one of the most distant objects in our solar system. On its Solar System Exploration website, NASA says the object was nicknamed “Biden” after Vice President Joseph Biden because of the VP in its initial designation. It will be up to the IAU to decide whether i2012 VP113 is a dwarf planet and whether it gets an official name.
But expect the numbers for planets in our solar system to keep changing. Mike Brown, the CalTech astronomy professor who helped discover dwarf planet Eris and who takes responsibility for killing off Pluto as a full-fledged planet, has his own tally listing more than 360 possible dwarf planets. And NASA has said there may be many more dwarf planets that we haven’t found yet.
So Ceres, and its cousins, may soon outnumber the traditional planets you learned about in grade school.
You can believe your eyes: NASA to test flying saucer
You can believe your eyes: NASA to test flying saucer
Two members of the Navy's Explosive Ordinance Disposal team perch on the test vehicle used in the first flight of NASA's Low-density Supersonic Decelerator project. The test vehicle was fished out of the waters of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Missile Range within hours of splashdown. During the June 28, 2014, engineering flight, the saucer-shaped test vehicle climbed to over 180,000 feet (about 55,000 meters) in altitude and went as fast as four times the speed of sound
A saucer-shaped test vehicle holding equipment for landing large payloads on Mars is shown in the Missile Assembly Building at the US Navy's Pacific Missile Range Facility in Kaua'i, Hawaii. The vehicle, part of the Low Density Supersonic Decelerator project, will test an inflatable decelerator and a parachute at high altitudes and speeds over the Pacific Missile Range this June. A balloon will lift the vehicle to high altitudes, where a rocket will take it even higher to the top of the stratosphere at several times the speed of sound. This image was taken during a "hang-angle" measurement, in which engineers set the vehicle's rocket motor to the appropriate angle for the high-altitude test. The nozzle and the lower half of the Star-48 solid rocket motor are the dark objects seen in the middle of the image below the saucer.
KAUA’I, Hawaii — Keep an eye on the skies over Hawaii on Wednesday. If all goes to plan, NASA will be testing out a saucer-shaped craft that could hold the key to a future human mission to Mars.
The test flight was originally scheduled for Tuesday but was postponed because of unfavorable ocean conditions. The craft will splash down in the sea, so operators need to be able to recover it safely.
If conditions are suitable Wednesday, an enormous balloon will lift the test vehicle carrying the disc-like Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator, or LDSD, to a height of 120,000 feet, or more than 20 miles (32 kilometers), above Earth.
Then, mission controllers will set the LDSD free to fire its rockets and try out the centerpiece of the test: a giant supersonic parachute, measuring 100 feet (30 meters) across.
For those on the ground, live video will be relayed from four cameras aboard the pioneering saucer-shaped craft.
“You get to see all the same video I do, at the same time I do,” Mark Adler, project manager at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, said in an online news release.
“This year’s test is centered on how our newly designed supersonic parachute will perform. We think we have a great design ready for the challenge, but the proof is in the pudding and the pudding will be made live for everyone to see.”
Updating decades-old technology
Last year, when the LDSD was tested for the first time — also launched from the U.S. Navy’s Pacific Missile Range facility in Kauai, Hawaii — the deployment of the parachute was the only fly in the ointment, when it didn’t inflate as expected.
This time around, a new design is being tested: the Supersonic Ringsail parachute, which NASA says is the largest supersonic parachute ever tested for use on Mars.
Current technology for decelerating from high speeds during reentry into the atmosphere to the final stages of landing on Mars dates back to NASA’s Viking Program, which put two landers on the Martian surface in 1976.
The basic Viking parachute design has been used ever since. It was successfully used again in 2012 to deliver the rover Curiosity to Mars.
NASA will need new and improved landing technologies to handle the larger spaceships of tomorrow and land them on rocky surfaces, as well as at higher altitudes.
Atmospheric drag
NASA scientists hope this saucer-shaped craft could be the key.
“As NASA plans ambitious robotic science missions to Mars, laying the groundwork for even more complex human expeditions to come, the spacecraft needed to land safely on the Red Planet’s surface will become larger and heavier in order to accommodate explorers’ extended stays on the Martian surface,” the agency’s website said.
This means the supersonic parachute will have its work cut out to create sufficient atmospheric drag to slow the vehicles down so they can be landed safely. Using drag for deceleration means precious fuel can be saved for landing maneuvers.
A third test flight for the LDSD is scheduled for the summer of 2016.
Further investigations are beginning to point to the possibility of an underwater volcanic hill based on more recent scans.[3] More information should come to the surface. Some believe this new explanation may be a cover up but that position is currently based on a belief only.
Portuguese news reported the discovery of a very large under water pyramid first discovered by Diocleciano Silva between the islands of São Miguel and Terceira in the Azores of Portugal. According to claims, the structure is said to be perfectly squared and oriented by the cardinal points. Current estimates obtained using GPS digital technology put the height at 60 meters with a base of 8000 square meters. The Portuguese Hydrographic Institute of the Navy currently has the job of analyzing the data to determine whether or not the structure is man-made.
“The pyramid is perfectly shaped and apparently oriented by the cardinal points,” Silva told Diário Insular, the local newspaper.
The pyramid was found in an area of the mid-Atlantic that has been underwater for about 20,000 years. Considering this is around the time of the last ice age where glaciation was melting from its peak 2000 years prior, whatever civilization, human or not, that was around before the ice age, could be responsible for building the pyramid. While the Portuguese Navy still hasn’t determined the origins, many might question why this hasn’t been first reported on sooner than late 2012. Certainly the NOAA who studies volcanic activity in the area of the pyramid would have discovered the pyramid through sonar imaging and so forth since the area is heavily studied due to volcanic activity. Either the NOAA hasn’t yet come across it, they are hiding what they have found, or the pyramid doesn’t exist. The last theory does not seem to be likely given the authenticity of the find.
To further support the idea that this pyramid could have been built by different civilizations, archeologists from the Portuguese Association of Archaeological Research have recently discovered evidence on Pico island that suggests their belief that humans existed in the Azores region before the arrival of the Portuguese thousands of years ago. As of today, there is still no explanation for who created the rock art found on the islands. Was the pyramid built by whatever civilization existed prior to the Portuguese? Is it possibly not even man-made?
Here is the Portuguese news report with English subtitles for those who wish to look into the authenticity of the claims.
The Azores are an interesting region as they are a chain of nine volcanic islands in three main groups that are roughly 930 miles west of Lisbon. They are all situated around the fault lines between the North American, Eurasian and African tectonic plates. An interesting place to have a pyramid given the energetic qualities often associated with pyramids.
This video discusses some interesting bits of information that explore the authenticity of the story and the possible location visually using some maps. It is important to note that exact coordinates of the pyramid have not been released. He believes that there may be a discovery of 2 more pyramids in the area as images suggest there could be a design link to that of the pyramids built in Egypt.
What Would Aliens Want From Planet Earth Or Humans?
What Would Aliens Want From Planet Earth Or Humans?
What Would Aliens Want From Planet Earth Or Humans?
And why do so many hope for “Contact” with Aliens?
I frequently hear a recurring theme among UFO and Alien believers, “The aliens will come”they say, “and help us achieve world peace”.
Isn’t this some sort of secret hope that many religions promise ?
“They created us, and will soon return to help us realize our full potential. They will lead us into a New Age of enlightenment; they will help us to evolve into a greater existence.”
Mankind is not only conscious of trees, rocks, bodies of water, and his own limbs and body, but he also must become conscious of himself as a distinct entity and role in the rest of the universe. The prime characteristic of cosmic consciousness is, as its name implies, a consciousness of the cosmos, that is, of the life and order of the universe.
How will the aliens do this?
Advocates of these “prophecies” believe the “aliens” will provide humanity with advanced technology in every scientific field of study, and a philosophy of peace and tolerance that will unite all the people of the world into one global government, economic system, and everything will be replaced with peace and harmony. Hence the term given to these believers “New Agers”. Aliens will bring us a New Galactic Consciousness and Ascension!
This sounds good. It sounds right, and it sounds familiar. Consider the fact that religions like Christianity also have this theme. When Jesus returns, He will unite all the people of the world into one global government, economic system, and religion, War will be replaced with peace and harmony. Furthermore,there is no death, sorrow, or pain. All there will be are peace, love, and joy!
We can assume that any race capable of crossing interstellar space will be able to do anything we can do or even remotely contemplate doing. Any civilization capable of crossing interstellar space will probably be able to travel freely between planets, but it will still take a lot of energy and time. Getting to and landing on planets, and getting off again, will also be a significant effort. Terraforming planets will likewise take a lot of effort and, even more important, time.
So we’d have to assume that any Alien visitors coming to our solar system are coming for a specific reason, which might be to colonize, gather resources, or explore.
They certainly will have technology for observing planets around other stars, since we ourselves have begun to do it. If they have telescopes millions of kilometers apart flying in formation with their ships, they can combine the images to obtain the effective resolution of a telescope millions of kilometers in diameter. So quite likely they would have pretty good images of all the planets in our solar system.
If they pick up our radio and television signals, they’d probably know that there is at least that level of technology in our solar system. But based on the fact our transmissions have not been around that long would they be even close enough to hear them?
Then again, in zero gravity, there would be nothing to stop them from building a radio dish kilometers across in space or on their spacecrafts. We have to assume they are at least as good at cryptography as we are, so if they could pick up the information, they would likely be able to decipher it.
The yellow dot shows the 200 light year radius of how far radio waves have reached into the Milky Way since Marconi invented the radio in 1895. (The even tinier Planet Earth buried somewhere in its center)
Resources
In the unlikely event they simply come here blind because they just picked a G-class star at random and didn’t do any reconnaissance on the way in, it’s very likely that they wouldn’t lightly pack up and go to another star, since interstellar travel will be resource and time intensive. And, of course, if they know what’s here, then they came here for a specific reason. But if their primary goal is resources, and they can travel easily between planets, there are much better sources than the Earth.
Water:Icy moons are every bit as convenient as Earth as sources of water. Comets are probably too small and widely scattered to be of much use, although a single comet can supply many cubic kilometers of water.
Metals:Nickel-iron asteroids can supply far more metal than our iron mines, with the added advantage that the smelting is mostly already done. Rarer metals can be extracted during the refining of nickel and iron, just as we do on Earth. Asteroids and comets have the added advantage of negligible gravity. Or our gold. (Hint: Asteroids have gold.)
Oxygen: Obtain it by electrolyzing water, or as a by-product of smelting silicates.
Hydrocarbons: Assuming they use hydrocarbons for some energy needs or a base for creating other organic chemicals, why drill on Earth when there’s a whole planet of it at Jupiter, and lakes of hydrocarbons on Titan?
Energy: Pave Mercury with solar panels, or simply build vast arrays in space. Use the harvested energy to fabricate still more panels, as well as whatever else you need.
If they come to our solar system to gather extraterrestrial resources, earth might be irrelevant to them, just like us going into the woods to pick berries is irrelevant to some bird nesting in a nearby tree. We are very unlikely to be a threat, or even a nuisance. Aww, isn’t that cute? We have itty-bitty nuclear weapons. They can travel between planets and we can’t go beyond earth orbit. They could strip-mine Mars and we’d be able to do little more than watch. We might launch robotic missions to watch them, and maybe pick up some useful ideas, assuming the aliens allow them to get close.
So Who Needs Earth?
There are a few reasons why extraterrestrial visitors might come specifically to Earth apart from curiosity or exchanging greetings:
Hydrothermal Ores: The problem with using the Moon or asteroids as sources of minerals is that a lot of our ores on earth involve water in some way. Copper, zinc and lead are mostly deposited by hot solutions. Aluminum is concentrated by weathering of aluminum rich rocks in tropical environments. Those deposits might make terrestrial sources more attractive than extraterrestrial ones. Lithophile elements: Plate tectonics and geochemical recycling have made the earth’s interior more homogeneous and has concentrated certain elements in the crust. These tend to be atoms with large ionic radii, high ionic charges, or both. Things like lithium, beryllium, boron, uranium, thorium, cesium, and rare earths might be easier to extract from Earth rocks than asteroids. We now know that planets abound, but watery earth-like planets may not be. Organic chemicals: If you want complex organic chemicals, it might be easier to harvest them from the biosphere rather than synthesize them from scratch. Maybe we have things they didn’t know about. This is interesting, there may be manmade things to explore not known to them- like – Cocaine, Alcohol, Tobacco and others! Convenient Working Environment: If you’re an oxygen breather with human-like environmental needs, it may be a heck of a lot easier to land on Earth and do things than terraform Venus or build gigantic domes on the Moon. R & R: No matter how big your starship is, even if it’s got huge living spaces, it has to get boring after a while. If they can survive on Earth, they’ll very likely want to come down for some breathing room and to see new scenery. A Place to Live: Bad news. There have to be lots of Earth-like planets without intelligent life. After all, Earth was like that for over 99.9% of its history. So why pick Earth? Assuming they didn’t come here just because they enjoy destroying other intelligent life forms, something probably went very wrong. Either we’re the nearest Earthlike planet and they need it very badly, or they didn’t know we were here, or we’re so far below their level we don’t rate as intelligent. If their life support is failing and there are twenty billion of them, we’re toast. But if there aren’t too many, and they’re willing to work with us, we could probably find some open spaces for them while they terraform Mars or Venus.
Encounter Scenarios:
They Come and Go: They come into the solar system, harvest a few comets and metal rich asteroids, suck hydrocarbons out of the Gas Giants, unfurl giant solar arrays to replenish their energy storage, and leave without contacting us at all. If this had happened even in 1900, we probably would have not even noticed it, but today we would. We’d certainly know we weren’t alone, but on the other hand we’d be more alone than ever, since there are races that travel among the stars and don’t even consider us worth contacting.
We are Superior: Forget this. They came here. We can’t go there. They will likely be ahead of us in everything. the only exception might be a District 9 scenario, where a small alien contingent arrives, either as refugees or because they had a catastrophic failure of their ship. We’re OK, They’re OK (Star Trek): The best of all possible universes. But we’ll still be grossly inferior to them in technology. But they’ll treat us nice, and maybe let us share their stuff. That may not be a good thing. (Remember the t.v. series V)
They’re Not OK (War of the Worlds): We’re food, raw material, or an impediment. Maybe we can make ourselves enough of a nuisance that they leave us alone if we stay out of their way. On the other hand, with our industrial base gone, we’re back to rocks and sharp sticks pretty soon, and what kind of a fight can we put up then?
Maybe even benevolent aliens won’t be such a good thing after all? Even when advanced civilizations have encountered primitive ones on earth peacefully, the results have generally been rough on the primitive civilization.
Culture Shock
Then there’s the impact on our beliefs. If they have indisputably been around for millions of years, that pretty much demolishes a recent creation, right? Or maybe not. It’s very likely we’d see the rise of powerful movements denouncing the aliens as liars or hoaxers and demanding an end to contact with them. So instead of working with them we imprison, exile and treat them as enemies.
Finally, some humans will certainly interact more closely with the aliens than others. If the aliens aren’t careful, they can create such an economic disparity that humanity ends up becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Aliens, Inc.
Even on earth, anthropologists have noted there are clearly defined zones of influence around outposts of advanced civilizations. Some humans would be almost wholly assimilated. Others would find that proximity to alien knowledge gives them powerful advantages over less favored humans, either in trade or in the use of force.
That assumes that the aliens are benign or at least neutral. If they’re here to exploit us or at least get what they want without regard for us, then things will get a whole lot nastier. Because there will certainly be humans who will work for whatever rewards the aliens offer. They’ll strip-mine Chicago for the metals, in exchange for power or sex. Or they’ll act as overseers to keep the rest of us in line.
MARS 'Blue lagoons' op de rode planeet? Dat lijkt zo op deze beelden van ESA van Mars. Maar de wetenschappelijke verklaring toont iets helemaal anders aan. De blauwe vlekken zouden te maken hebben met winden tot 100 km/uur die Mars teisteren en het landschap er mee vorm geven.
Mooi blauw water? Niet volgens ESA. De wetenschap houdt het bij een optische illusie. Gigantische stofstormen - die dagen of weken kunnen duren en met winden tot 100 km/uur - droppen donkere, vulkanische, basaltrijke materie over heel de planeet. Lagen van donkerdere stof van vulkanen zetten zich vast in de kraters van Mars. Na verloop van tijd is er genoeg van dat stof verzameld om een blauwige kleur te tonen. Dat is wat we zien.
Ook op onze eigen planeet bepalen winden door de tijden heen overigens mee de vorm van het landschap, van rotsen, van duinen.
Op de foto hieronder zie je de gevolgen van een veel recentere storm, die vulkanische stof en as in een krater op Mars blaast. Je kan op dit beeld bijna de kracht van de storm voelen.
De Amerikaanse luchtmacht bouwt samen met Boeing een ultrasnel wapen dat vijf keer de geluidssnelheid zal halen. Daarmaa kan het vliegtuig in een uur de Atlantische Oceaan oversteken. Het toestel zal als wapen dienstdoen en werken als een raket.
"Wij zijn de Air Force. Wat we willen doen met deze technologie? Ze als wapen inzetten, natuurlijk", verklaarde Ryan Helbach van het onderzoekscentrum van de Amerikaanse luchtmacht tegenover Military.com. Het is nog onduidelijk hoe het toestel als wapen zal ingezet worden. De Amerikaanse autoriteiten verwachten dat China en andere landen aan gelijkaardige technologie werken.
De X-51, ontwikkeld door Boeing, wordt uit een traditionele bommenwerper gedropt. Er werden al succesvolle tests uitgevoerd. Het vliegtuig krijgt een kickstart van een raketbooster die het tuig naar een snelheid van Mach 4.5 stuurt, dus 4,5 maal de geluidssnelheid (die ongeveer 1.200 km/uur bedraagt; Mach 4.5 is dus 5.400 km/u). Daarna wordt de raket gedropt en gaat de X-51 op eigen kracht naar Mach 5.1.
Het toestel werd voor het eerst getest in 2013. Toen haalde het een snelheid van 6.430 km per uur op een hoogte van ruim 18 kilometer. Het viel toen zonder brandstof en stortte neer in zee.

Asteroids, meteors, and meteorites … It might be fair to say these rocks from space inspire both wonder and fear among us Earthlings. But knowing a bit more about each of them and how they differ may eliminate some potential misgivings. While all these rocks originate from space, they have different names depending their location—i.e. whether they are hurtling through space or hurtling through the atmosphere and impacting Earth's surface.
In simplest terms here are the definitions:
Asteroid: a large rocky body in space, in orbit around the Sun.
Meteoroid: much smaller rocks or particles in orbit around the Sun.
Meteor: If a meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere and vaporizes, it becomes a meteor, which is often called a shooting star.
Meteorite: If a small asteroid or large meteoroid survives its fiery passage through the Earth's atmosphere and lands on Earth's surface, it is then called a meteorite.
Another related term is bolide, which is a very bright meteor that often explodes in the atmosphere. This can also be called a fireball.
Let's look at each in more detail:
Asteroids
Asteroids are found mainly in the asteroid belt, between Mars and Jupiter. Sometimes their orbits get perturbed or altered and some asteroids end up coming closer to the Sun, and therefore closer to Earth. In addition to the asteroid belt, however, there have been recent discussions among astronomers about the potential existence of large number asteroids in the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud.
Asteroids are sometimes referred to as minor planets or planetoids, but in general, they are rocky bodies that do not have an atmosphere. However, a few have their own moons. Our solar system contains millions of asteroids, many of which are thought to be the shattered remnants of planetesimals – bodies within the young Sun's solar nebula that never grew large enough to become planets.
The size of what classifies as an asteroid is not extremely well defined, as an asteroid can range from a few meters wide – like a boulder—to objects that are hundreds of kilometers in diameter. The largest asteroid is asteroid Ceres at about 952 km (592 miles) in diameter, and Ceres is so large that it is also categorized as a dwarf planet.
Most asteroids are made of rock, but as we explore and learn more about them we know that some are composed of metal, mostly nickel and iron. According to NASA, a small portion of the asteroid population may be burned-out comets whose ices have evaporated away and been blown off into space. Recently, astronomers have discovered some asteroids that mimic comets in that gas and dust are emanating from them, and as we mentioned earlier, there appears to be a large number of bodies with asteroid-like compositions but comet-like orbits.
How Often Do Asteroids Hit Earth?

While we know that some asteroids pass very close to Earth's orbit around the Sun, we've been lucky in the history of humanity that we haven't had a large asteroid hit Earth in the past several thousand years. It wasn't until satellite imagery of Earth became widely available that scientists were able to see evidence of past asteroid impacts.
One of the more famous impact craters on Earth is Meteor Crater in Arizona in the US, which was made by an impact about 50,000 years ago. But there are about 175 known impact around the world – a few are quite large, like Vredefort Crater in South Africa which has an estimated radius of 190 kilometers (118 miles), making it the world's largest known impact structure on Earth. Another notable impact site is off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, and is believed to be a record of the event that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
These days, asteroid impacts are less of a threat. NASA estimates that about once a year an automobile-sized asteroid enters Earth's atmosphere, creates an impressive fireball and disintegrates before ever reaching the surface. Studies of Earth's history indicate that about once every 5,000 years or so on average an object the size of a football field hits Earth and causes significant damage. Once every few million years on average an object large enough to cause regional or global disaster impacts Earth.
Meteors, Meteoroids and Bolides
Space debris smaller than an asteroid are called meteoroids. A meteoroid is a piece of interplanetary matter that is smaller than an asteroid and frequently are only millimeters in size. Most meteoroids that enter the Earth's atmosphere are so small that they vaporize completely and never reach the planet's surface. When they burn up during their descent, they create a beautiful trail of light known as a meteor, sometimes called a shooting star.
Mostly these are harmless, but larger meteors that explode in the atmosphere – sometimes called bolides—can create shockwaves, which can cause problems. In February 2013 a meteor that exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia shattered windows with its air blast. This meteoroid or bolide was estimated to be 18 meters (59 feet) in diameter. In 1908, a rocky meteoroid less than 100 meters in diameter is believed to have entered the atmosphere over the Tunguska region of Siberia in 1908 and the resulting shockwave knocked down trees for hundreds of square kilometers.
How often is Earth hit by meteroids?
Because of the Chelyabinsk meteor in 2013, astronomers have acquired more information about the frequency of larger meteors that hit Earth, and there is now a growing consensus that the Earth gets hit by bigger space rocks more often than we previously thought.
The B612 foundation says that a Hiroshima-scale asteroid explosion happens in our atmosphere on average once a year, but many are not detected because they explode high in the atmosphere, or because most of the Earth's surface is water and even a large percentage of land is fairly uninhabited by humans.

Estimates vary of how much cosmic dust and meteors enter Earth's atmosphere each day, but range anywhere from 5 to 300 metric tons. Satellite observations suggest that 100-300 metric tons of cosmic dust enter the atmosphere each day. This figure comes from the rate of accumulation in polar ice cores and deep-sea sediments of rare elements linked to cosmic dust, such as iridium and osmium.
But other measurements – which includes meteor radar observations, laser observations and measurements by high altitude aircraft—indicate that the input could be as low as 5 metric ton per day.
If any part of a meteoroid survives the fall through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is called a meteorite. Although the vast majority of meteorites are very small, their size can range from about a fraction of a gram (the size of a pebble) to 100 kilograms (220 lbs) or more (the size of a huge, life-destroying boulder). Meteorites smaller than 2mm are classified as micrometeorites.
Meteorites have traditionally been divided into three broad categories, depending on their structure, chemical and isotopic composition and mineralogy. Stony meteorites are rocks, mainly composed of silicate minerals; iron meteorites that are largely composed of metallic iron-nickel; and, stony-iron meteorites that contain large amounts of both metallic and rocky material.
Meteorites have also been found on the moon and Mars and conversely, scientists have traced the origination of the meteorites found here on Earth to four other bodies: the moon, Mars, the asteroid 4 Vesta, and the comet Wild 2. Meteorites are the source of a great deal of the knowledge that we have have about the composition of other celestial bodies.

How Often Do Meteorites Hit Earth?
According to the Planetary Science Institute, it is estimated that probably 500 meteorites reach the surface of the Earth each year, but less than 10 are recovered. This is because most fall into water (oceans, seas or lakes) or land in remote areas of the Earth that are not accessible, or are just not seen to fall.
Summary
In short, the difference between asteroids and meteors all comes down to a question of location. Asteroids are always found in space. Once it enters an atmosphere, it becomes a meteor, and then a meteorite after it hits the ground. Each are made of the same basic materials – minerals and rock – and each originated in space. The main difference is where they are when they are being observed.
