500 Pages Of Australian Government UFO Files Unearthed
500 Pages Of Australian Government UFO Files Unearthed
By Paul Dean ufos-documenting-the-evidence.blogspot.com 6-7-15
A question for my readers.. What Australian federal government agency, other than the three armed branches of Department of Defence (DOD), or, the three air safety and/or transport regulation outfits, would be maintaining over 500 pages of hardcopy files related to the UFOs, or as I like to often say, the UAP (Unusual Aerial Phenomenon) riddle?? If you guessed the CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) you’d be close, but I have tried them, and they drew a blank in their systems. If you guessed the Defence Intelligence Organisation (DIO), well, that would be lovely, but I have barely even started on them yet, so I know nothing of what they may have. If you guessed the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM), you’d be spot on; and I now have a bunch of information regarding their UFO files, in black-and-white, directly from their understaffed Freedom of Information (FOI) desk, as we shall see.
Firstly though, back in early 2013, when trawling through the National Archives of Australia (NAA) using the RecordSearch database, I came across a BOM file titled “Observations - General By Outside Authorities (Includes UFO)”. Its date range was listed as 1972-1981. Immediately, I had the NAA staff examine this material and release it to me in hard copy. Indeed, it contained reports from the general public, and other records, related to UAP. For anyone who wants to go over this file using the NAA’s system, file series is PP956/1 and the control symbol is 45/38. The barcode is 1854167. More on that later.
On the 17th January, 2015, I sent the BOM a very reasonable FOI request which stated:
I wish to submit a subsequent request under the Freedom of Information Act. I am seeking to obtain any files or other materials held by the BOM regarding the topic of “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena” (UAP)and/or “ Unidentified Flying Objects” (UFOs). Specifically, I am looking for files containing:
1) Copies of enquiries from members of the general public to the BOM relating to UAP and/or UFOs;
2) Further BOM correspondence with the members of the public relating to the UAP and/or UFOs;
3) Copies of any previously and/or currently used standard templates or standard letters in such correspondence;
4) Internal BOM policies or guidelines for responding to Ministerial enquiries on the UAP and/or UFO topic;
5) Any files relating to the UAP and/or UFO matter itself, such as actual UAP and/or UFO case reports made to the BOM; studies or investigations related to UAP and/or UFOs; correspondence with other , embassies, etc related to UAP and/or UFOs.
I also went on to say that their agency had maintained such files previously, and I gave them actual details of such material, thus, potentially avoiding any misunderstandings regarding exactly what I thought they may have in their archives. The BOM’s FOI officer, Erin MacLatchy, rang me a week after my initial request to firstly clarify exactly what I was looking for, and secondly, to explain to me that she was inundated with difficult requests of late and that my enquiry would take some time to process. Fair enough. On the 4th of March I finally received a formal reply letter, known as a “Notice of Charges”, which also contains a official determination regarding if they have actually found anything to furnish me with. In this material, the BOM stated, amongst other things:
“The Bureau has undertaken a range of searches for documents, and is now in the process of decision-making. I have decided that you are liable to pay a charge pursuant to section 29 of the FOI Act in respect of a request for access to the documents that fall within your request. A copy of this section is provided with this letter.”
So, this basically says that they found the sort of material I was asking for, and it is going to cost me a bit of money to have them released. That was the good news. Here is the bad news:
“My preliminary assessment of the charge is $1005.00. This is based on 27 hours of searching for the documents requested, and 30 hours fordecision-making beyond the first 5 hours of decision-making time (which have been excluded from this assessment).
Over $1000 dollars? Not happening. Not on my watch. On the 11th of March, I appealed this fee on the grounds that it was by far the most expensive charge that I had ever encountered from an Australian government agency, including the complex encounters I have had with the Department of Defence, and, also, that the UFO topic was of public interest, because, you know, if one of these things slams into a packed airliner one day, then I think the average man on the street would be fairly concerned. Anyway, back comes the reply to my appeal on the 8th April 2015. In it, they clearly took my appeal efforts into account, however, those efforts resulted in merely this:
“Taking the above matters into account, I have decided to reduce the charges by 25 percent. Subject to my comments below, the total charge you are liable to pay is $753.75.”
I won’t detail what is involved in a second appeal, however, I will detail what was said on the phone when I rang the BOM FOI Desk officer two days later. The FOI staffer, Erin MacLatchy, explained to me that a hefty 500 pages of UFO-type files had been located, and the rest. She wasn’t able to say how many files made up this 500 pages worth of records exactly, or where they came from on a state-by-state basis, or the date ranges of found files, but, the mentioning of 500 pages was enough to put it all into perspective. See, if an FOI officer has to go through that much material to redact names, addresses, phone numbers, etc, and then color photocopy the whole lot, as well as handle administrative issues related to the FOI request, then, well, maybe a partially waived fee of $753.75 isn’t so unrealistic after all. So, instead of jumping in and spending a fortune, or, at the other end of the spectrum, throwing the towel in and forgetting it all, I decided to re-review the currently released BOM file that we do happen to have available–The very file I got released from the National Archives of Australia over 2 years ago.
As mentioned above, the old 1972-1981 BOM file which I got released in 2013, titled “Observations - General By Outside Authorities (Includes UFO)”, is held now physically by the NAA and available to all to review. It contains 297 pages of general public generated reports of meteorological phenomena, reports of apparent astronomical phenomena, reports of UFO/UAP activity, and various pieces of interagency and intra-agency correspondence.
The UFO/UAP events include:
1. A Mr G. Neads of Kelmscott, WA, took a picture in New Zealand about 1979. In the picture were bright circles of light. The Bureau passed the photograph to RAAF Base Pearce.
2. On the 14th Mar 1979 the BOM sent a letter to a G Hume of UFO Research Group, Perth. It said that the photograph you forwarded “...does not appear to show any object which could be recognised as part of a balloon train... I am not able to offer any alternative meteorological explanation of the object in the photograph.” The associated letter from PUFORG dated 28 Feb 1979 stated that the object was photographed at Ceduna, SA in Dec 1977. The photo is unfortunately not on file.
3. One the 27th May 1978, in Kings Rocks, Hyden, WA, at 2050hrs, apparently a dull orange object, low on the eastern horizon travelling north to south. It was described as faster than an aircraft, but slower than a meteor. No sound was heard, and the duration 1.5 to 2 minutes. It moved from north-east to south-south-west, above the clouds, and had a long orange tail. Furthermore, 3 or 4 weeks before, at dusk, a similar object was seen travelling in the opposite direction in the eastern sky.
4. A 16 Dec, 1976; 1225WST; Kalgoorlie meteorological office. M. Winterbourne saw an object travelling north-east to south-west. It passed south of overhead. It was white in colour, glowing, fuzzy at the edges and slightly pulsating. The shape was like a rugby ball, with an angular size of about half a degree. The duration of the sighting was some 10-12 seconds. Also, when at about 50 degree elevation in the south-west it seemed to stop for five seconds then dissolved in the same spot. On the same day at 1330WST Winterbourne received a telephone call from Dave Bower at the Scotia Mine, near Kalgoorlie reporting a “Strange object in the sky which was hardly moving. He gave me the bearings, but I failed to locate it at that time.” The same day at 1445WST - Winterbourne saw the same object as at 1225hrs. This one flashed across the sky from east to west. It was lost to sight as it diminished in angular size apparently due to distance. The duration of this event was stated as being, similar to the earlier sighting, 12 seconds.
So, if these cases about are some of the “best” reports in the currently available BOM file, what are the chances that the 500 or so pages of unavailable BOM records would contain anything significantly “better”? At a price-tag of $753.75, I have, at least for the moment, decided to drop this one and spend my money on other various FOI requests that will be far more likely to yield more fruitful and usable results. Most likely, the currently unreleased, unsanitised 500 pages of BOM files would almost uniquely contain low level sightings and various unrelated reports of meteorological and astronomical oddities, just like the above BOM file at the NAA contains. Certainly, if anyone wishes to contribute to getting this bunch of unknown records released I would be open to sharing the cost I think; or, better still, a whole bunch of us could chip in and share the material. The other option is to merely bide time until the BOM records management area simply box up the files and truck them to the NAA for cataloguing and storage. It would be then that we should have the material released for all to see.

STRANGE LIGHTS OBSERVED OVER THE OCEAN IN NEW JERSEY JUNE 1, 2015 …….VENTNOR NEW JERSEY
While driving north on Ventnor ave. in Ventnor NJ, I notice what seemed like a quick flash of light traveling west to east above me. I didn’t think much of it. Within approx. 30 seconds there appeared to be what I thought was a large hazy search light moving in the sky but it seemed to be coming from above the clouds rather than from the ground. Within a couple more seconds a second similar light appeared and they would seem to meet each other and then bounce off each other. They did this a few time and then other lights joined in. At first just a third joined in and then more seemed to join in just seemingly to move randomly in the sky. this lasted about a min. Finally approx. 4 or 5 of these lights rapidly came in from the south east, which is from the ocean, in a straight line, seemed to reach a certain point and then changed direction flying back over the ocean. One light remained in the sky where these lights seemed to bounce off of and then just disappeared into thin air. My first reaction was some sort of search light until all of the formations and zooming and bouncing off each other. I turned down my street, parked the car rapidly walked toward the ocean searching the sky, there was nothing there. I thought I would see police or other people searching the sky there was no on out as it was a dreary rainy night. I went home and surly thought there would be an explanation on the news, I found none.

Date of sighting: June 5, 2015 Location of sighting: Earths orbit
The contrail of the rocket was caught in this video at 1:30-1:32 and shows a curly trail leaving Earth and going into orbit. I assume its the Space X rocket, but could also be some other craft leaving the planet. The trail should be straight, but the pig tail curl of it, is very confusing. I’m not sure, but I don’t believe typical rockets leave a curve like that. Tell me your thoughts on it. SCW
Space X states: A GoPro inside a fairing from a recent Falcon 9 flight captured some spectacular views as it fell back to Earth. Footage is played in real time.
On August 7th 1999, London police received more than 36 reports of a gigantic sea serpent in the Thames. It was “at least 200 ft long and 5 yards across,” said one panicky witness. Despite all the sightings, no one managed to get a picture—or so it was thought. That day photographer John Collins was taking aerial photos of London from a private plane. He didn’t notice the object at the lower right until he examined the photo later.
Stone sculpture depicting a Vimana, flying machines in ancient India (1200 b.c.), Many Sanskrit epics, which were written in India more than two millennia ago, contain references to mythical flying machines called vimanas. Pointing to similarities between descriptions of vimanas and reports by people who claim to have seen UFOs, ancient alien theorists have suggested that astronauts from other planets visited India during ancient times.
Project Avalon – Klaus Dona: The Hidden History of the Human Race On the big cup you can see a perfect inlaid star constellation also showing the Orion and other stars. And inside the big cup it is very, very magnetic and outside the cup nearly nothing. Professional geologists are saying this is impossible because if a stone has metal particles inside the stone, it must be same magnetic from both sides.
Mystery rock from Earth or alien spaceship? This gigantic boulder with its belly laced like an oversized waffle grill continues to baffle visitors who come to the West Virginia side of Jennings Randolph Lake. There have been numerous theories and speculation as to its origin, ranging from a pictograph made by prehistoric man, an Indian carving, the impression of the skin pattern of a giant lizard, or evidence of a visit to Earth by ancient travelers from outer space.
The Bob White Object: In 1985, Missourian Bob White recovered physical evidence following a UFO encounter in Colorado. In 1996, Mr. White was flown to the classified Los Alamos National Labs for an analysis of his evidence. White was told by Senior staff that the object he recovered was extraterrestrial. The lab recanted their position later. Mr. White has passed polygraph examinations given by law enforcement professionals concerning the Los Alamos matter.
An 80 ton boulder on the side of Hidden Mountain in New Mexico bears a puzzling inscription. Carved into the stone’s flat side is what has been interpreted by some to be a version of the Ten Commandments in a form of ‘Paleo-Hebrew’

Chinese Pyramid in Xianyang. Most footage of Chinese pyramids is arial. The Chinese government are very reluctant to let foreigners in to study the structures and have only once agreed to a visa for this purpose.
Mysterious medicine wheels ~ two persons, unknown of each other, separated by thousand miles noticed on one morning these strange marks on their skin. They had no idea how those get there. Their common backgound is spirituality. One had an ayahuasca ceremony the night before, the second had a spiritual emergency (diagnosed as psychosis) following it.
In July, 1944, Waldemar Julsrud, made a resounding discovery to Acambaro, Mexico. He found figurines that represent, among others, dinosaurs, unknown animals, reptiles, unknown divinities, and its everyday objects (pipes, musical instruments, etc.) Dinosaurs, how these people were able to represent animals they are supposed to never have known? Once again, the traditional archéologie makes a mistake and prefers, in spite of the obvious facts, stay in the error… Figurines from 2500 BC
Strange Being captured on a photo in1973 in Falkville, Alabama by Sheriff Jeff Greenhaw. “It looked like his head and neck were kind of made together… he was real bright, something like rubbing mercury on nickel, but just as smooth as glass-different angles give different lighting… when I saw him standing in the middle of the road I immediately stopped the car and asked if he was a foreigner, but no sound came out of his mouth.”
The skull of this Sasquatch or Bigfoot creature was discovered in the Rocky Mountains.
Mystery airships or phantom airships are a class of unidentified flying objects best known from a series of newspaper reports originating in the western United States and spreading east during 1896 and 1897. According to researcher Jerome Clark, airship reports were made worldwide from the 1880s to 1890s. Mystery airship reports are seen as a cultural predecessor to modern claims of extraterrestrial-piloted flying saucer-style UFOs. Typical airship reports involved unidentified lights, but more detailed accounts reported ships comparable to a dirigible. Reports of the alleged crewmen and pilots usually described them as human looking, although sometimes the crew claimed to be from Mars.[4] It was popularly believed that the mystery airships were the product of some genius inventor not ready to make knowledge of his creation public. For example, Thomas Edison was so widely speculated to be the mind behind the alleged airships that in 1897 he “was forced to issue a strongly worded statement” denying his responsibility. Author Gregory L. Reece has argued that mystery airships are unlikely to represent test flights of real human-manufactured dirigibles as no record of successful airship flights are known from the period and “it would have been impossible, not to mention irrational, to keep such a thing secret.
Japan-1803 One of the first modern UFO stories comes from Japan. This is the story of Utsuro-Bune, a mysterious alien woman who appeared suddenly from the depths of the Pacific Ocean on a round ship. A detailed study of paintings from the era of the Utsuru-Bune reveals an object that resembles a flying saucer, similar to those seen today. A pale, redheaded woman was inside the ship, wearing soft, light clothing clutching a box. Where did she come from? What was in the box? Nobody knows.
Military pilot photographs UFO over Treviso Airbase Italy, 18 June 1979
This footprint was cast near Glen Rose Texas at the Paluxy River. It measures 14 inches long, 7 wide. Paleontologists say the print is from a female. The cross cuts are from compression studies indicating that this person was approximately 10 feet tall and weighing 1,000 pounds. The human foot is that of an average female size 8.5. The casting is courtesy of Mt. Blanco Museum, Crosbyton TX.
On August 26th, 1966, Lt. Glen B, stationed at Minot AFB, ND, says a whole fleet of UFOs sailed over the base. “I was on alert because of the event (a famous incident had occurred the previous day; a UFO had shut down a nearby nuclear missile silo), and had my camera with me. There was a vibration in the air and a dozen cylinder-like objects flew from S to N directly overhead. They were completely silent and moved in an uneven arrow formation.”
“IT starts of slow, but do be prepared, sonic booms may be heard as the video progresses. Very little CGi in this video. The emphasis on this video is the war between an alien race, and the human race. See if you can notice any similarities in what the people are talking about, their credentials and status, before you go jumping to any conclusions. A war with aliens? What do you think? The information in this video seems to imply something very strange is going on all around us. Did you that there is an actual debate between ‘refraining to tell the public about some / certain discoveries of science,’ and telling them everything? What do you think? Need proof there is water on mars? Is so, watch this video, and realize that where there is water? There is life. On the topic of aliens. Life, on earth, was seeded from the debris of comets that flew passed earth.”
“If this is so, then there are highly organic compounds in comets (which they say are made up of water), and space. Going by the general census of evolution, it’d be safe to assume, that alien bacteria, and alien virus’s, from space, are falling down to the surface of earth ‘all the time.’ If there are alien virus’s and alien bacteria falling to the earth, and comets spawning life throughout the cosmos? Aliens are a most definite. Aliens are coming! Are you prepared?”
“I know it sounds crazy! Or are the demons? You be the judge. Exploring the ‘what if’ often gets one to the real answers. Explore. Is earth being invaded? Watch this video, and come to your own conclusions as, more often than not, the evidence is looking people in the face, and they don’t see it. When we realize ‘the aliens are there,’ above and below, do they press a reset button? Has humanity been on earth, and at the exact same point we are at now, before? The looping effect comes to mind. Step out of the box, explore knowledge.”Discovery Science
This is an explosive document all about our Governments involvement with Extraterrestrials going back right to the beginning. Its not for the faint hearted so you have been warned!
How is it possible to have so many different races and ethnicities if we all allegedly came from Adam and Eve? How is it conceivable to have 4 different blood types (A, B, AB, and O) along with 2 different Rh values (positive and negative) from two people of origin? Even if you look at Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, there wasn’t enough time for genetic mutation or evolution of the species to create such different diversity amongst our population.
According to Zecharia Sitchin’s work deciphering the Sumerian texts, our DNA was manipulated by the Anunnaki in order to create a slave race that would mine gold for them and their home planet, Nibiru. This is a very feasible proposition because it explains the importance of gold on our planet along with how we’ve been economic slaves for millennia, but it doesn’t explain why the Anunnaki would create a number of different races instead of one master slave race.
The second possibility is that we were seeded here by various star nations as part of a galactic experiment. In this scenario, race, ethinicity, blood type(s) and rh values are easily explained. It might also explain why there are so many different languages.
Er doet zich in België een vreemd fenomeen voor en dat is een oranje UFO die al enkele jaren lang regelmatig op dezelfde plaats verschijnt.
Het voorval vindt iedere keer plaats in een dorpje in het Franstalig deel van het land, in de buurt van Charleroi.
Een met enige regelmaat terugkerende UFO of oranje licht als je het zo wilt noemen, is natuurlijk toch wel iets bijzonders.
Zo hebben we hier een video uit augustus 2014 waar het fenomeen zich voordoet in het plaatsje Gouy-Lez-Piéton.
Er wordt hier bij deze video onder andere gereageerd door een dame die zegt dat dit niet de eerste keer is dat jaar dat de maker van dit filmpje erin slaagt om een UFO te filmen boven een klein Belgisch dorp en dat hij of in een UFO hotspot woont of goed is in het editen van video’s.
De maker ontkent in alle toonaarden dat hij de video’s gemanipuleerd zou hebben en zegt dat hij iedere dag filmt vanuit het raam van zijn kantoor en dat ook wanneer hij bijvoorbeeld in de tuin is, hij een camera bij de hand heeft. Ook wordt hij veel door vrienden gewaarschuwd als er zich iets vreemds in de lucht voordoet.
Nadeel voor de man is dat hij minimaal één keer door ons is betrapt bij de rapportage over een UFO waarneming, waarbij het niet zo nauw nam met de waarheid, om het zachtjes uit te drukken. Dat kan een vergissing geweest zijn en wil niet zeggen dat al zijn berichten daardoor niet waar zijn, maar voorzichtigheid is geboden.
Wat wel weer interessant is, is dat het plaatsje Gouy-Lez-Piéton misschien wel degelijk een UFO hotspot zou kunnen zijn want ook in 2013 werd daar al door deze zelfde maker een vreemd object waargenomen in de lucht.
Een fel verlicht onbekend object, vastgelegd boven Gouy-Lez-Piétons op 19 mei 2013:
Nu, afgelopen vrijdag, verscheen de meest recente in een serie oranje bollen/UFO’s boven het Belgische plaatsje Gouy-Lez-Piéton.
Hebben we hier nu te maken met echte UFO’s of is iemand al jarenlang bezig de UFO-gemeenschap op een dwaalspoor te zetten met nepvideo’s. We zouden graag horen van mensen die de professionele kennis hebben om te kunnen beoordelen of we hier met echte opnames te maken hebben of met fakes.
Zelf bezitten wij helaas niet die kunde en gaan vaak af op gevoel, maar omdat het hier gaat over een periode van jaren is het wel belangrijk om zeker te weten of de opnames echt zijn of niet.
Skywatch & Summoning UFO video from San Diego, California 24-May-2015
Skywatch & Summoning UFO video from San Diego, California 24-May-2015
Here is the footage by the skywatcher from San Diego, California on May 24, 2015. Many were in attendance to witness an incredible display of UFOs making contact in the skies above our group. At 13:18 in the video you’ll see a massive light pulse sent out from the UFO ship confirming connection with them while the folk signaled the lasers towards their craft.
Where are all the aliens? why we haven't made contact with other civilisations despite the size of the universe ?
Where are all the aliens? why we haven't made contact with other civilisations despite the size of the universe ?
There are billions of galaxies in the observable universe, each with up to a trillion stars, meaning there are likely trillions and trillions of habitable planets in the cosmos. But, if such worlds are so abundant, and life on Earth has been able to thrive, then why have we not found any aliens yet?
Humanity has rapidly advanced in the last 100 years, but this is considered 'a blink of an eye' in history of the 13.82-billion-year-old universe.
So it’s not inconceivable to think we might start visiting other stars in the future.
But it seems unlikely that we would be the first civilisation to reach this stage, so surely we should have heard from someone by now?
This has led people to suggest that true interstellar travel may be impossible or, more dauntingly, perhaps no civilisation can last long enough to make contact.
In a video created by YouTube channel Kurz Gesagt, they take a look at some of the factors that might have prevented us from making contact so far.
The first - and perhaps biggest - obstacle is space travel itself, which is extremely difficult, based on our current knowledge.
To colonise another planet with our current technologies, ‘a journey of maybe thousands of years needs to be survived by a population big enough to start from a scratch,' the narrator in the video explained.
Even if we could travel close to the speed of light, something inconceivable to us right now, it would take 100,000 years to cross the Milky Way.
So perhaps visiting another planet is out of the question.
It may also be a chance of cosmic circumstance that we have not yet made contact.
‘The universe is very old,’ the narrator in the video explained.
‘On Earth there's been life for at least 3.6 billion years. Intelligent human life for about 250,000 years.’
‘But only for about a century have we had the technology to communicate over great distances.
‘There might have been grand alien empires that stretched across thousands of systems and existed for millions of years, and we might just have missed them.’
Another problem could be that, even if there are other alien civilisations alive right now, it might just be that our methods of communication are too primitive at the moment.
‘Imagine sitting in a house with a morse code transmitter, you'd keep sending messages but nobody would answer, and you would feel pretty lonely,' said the narrator.
‘Maybe we're still undetectable for intelligent species.’
Another interesting concept is the idea of a Matrioshka Brain.
This would essentially be a virtual reality within which a species that had no desire to progress further could live in paradise for eternity - not unlike The Matrix, although slightly less dystopian.
We have been searching in earnest for planets outside the solar system for decades using telescopes like Kepler (illustrated) but, so far, no sign of life has been found. In addition, we have been sending our own signals out for more than a century but, again, no one seems to have taken notice
One theory for an advanced alien race is that they might harness the power of an entire star, known as a Dyson Sphere (illustrated). However, if such a structure existed, it is theorised that we would be able to detect its infrared signature - but a recent study found no such evidence
A giant structure containing the collective consciousness of the species inside this virtual reality would harness the power of a star.
‘If built around a red dwarf [star], this computer could be powered for up to ten trillion years,’ said the narrator.
‘Who would want to conquer the galaxy or make contact with other life forms if this were an option?’
It has been theorised that such a structure - sometimes called a Dyson Sphere - would be noticeable if it did exist, owing to the huge amounts of infrared radiation it would give off.
But a study by Penn State University in Pennsylvania to find one of these structures in 100,000 galaxies proved unsuccessful, although further attempts are likely to be made.
‘All these solutions to the Fermi Paradox have one problem,’ said the narrator.
‘We don't know where the borders of technology are. We could be close to the limit or nowhere near it.
‘And super technology awaits us, granting us immortality, transporting us to other galaxies, elevating us to the level of gods.
‘One thing we do have to acknowledge is that we really don't know anything.’
We have now found planets beyond the solar system that could possibly support life, such as Kepler-186f (illustrated), but the chances of visiting one of these planets at the moment with our current forms of propulsion is out of the question - and perhaps true interstellar travel is simply not possible
The video concludes by saying that, although we might be ‘embryos’ on a galactic time scale, the only way to find out our true place in the universe, and discover if we are alone, is to continue our search, the advancement of our species and, ultimately, the colonisation of other worlds.
It could even be that we are, in fact, the most advanced race in the universe.
If that is the case, then many experts have argued that we must do all we can to survive and preserve perhaps the most important discovery we’ve made so far: life itself, namely, us.

People at high latitudes are seeing glowing clouds in a dark night sky. They’re called noctilucent or “night-shining” clouds.
Glowing silver-blue clouds – called noctilucent or night shining clouds – sometimes light up summer night skies. They’re seen at high latitudes – say, about 45 degrees N. or S. – from May through August in the Northern Hemisphere and from November through February in the Southern Hemisphere. In 2015, the northern noctilucent cloud season has already begun. We’ve received some photos (below), and NASA’s AIM spacecraft has also detected these clouds drifting across the Arctic Circle. NASA said the first clouds appeared on May 19, 2015, a bit earlier than researchers expected. Follow the links below to learn more about this beautiful, seasonal phenomenon.

What are notilucent clouds? Noctilucent clouds form in the highest reaches of the atmosphere – the mesosphere – as much as 50 miles (80 km) above the Earth’s surface. They’re are thought to be made of ice crystals that form on fine dust particles from meteors. They can only form when temperatures are incredibly low and when there’s water available to form ice crystals.
Why do these clouds – which require such cold temperatures – form in the summer? It’s because of the dynamics of the atmosphere. You actually get the coldest temperatures of the year near the poles in summer at that height in the mesosphere.
Here’s how it works: during summer, air close to the ground gets heated and rises. Since atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, the rising air expands. When the air expands, it also cools down. This, along with other processes in the upper atmosphere, drives the air even higher causing it to cool even more. As a result, temperatures in the mesosphere can plunge to as low as -210°F (-134°C).
In the Northern Hemisphere, the mesosphere often reaches these temperatures by mid-May, in most years.
Since the clouds are so sensitive to the atmospheric temperatures, they can act as a proxy for information about the wind circulation that causes these temperatures. They can tell scientists that the circulation exists first of all, and tell us something about the strength of the circulation.

What does the science say? Scientists studying these clouds have included those from NASA’s AIM (Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere) satellite. This satellite, launched in 2007, has observed noctilucent clouds using several onboard instruments to collect information such as temperature, atmospheric gases, ice crystal size, changes in the clouds, as well as the amount of meteoric space dust that enters the atmosphere.
Scientists have used data from this satellite to study the details of how noctilucent are formed and why they change over time. In 2014, they announced they had discovered unexpected teleconnections in noctilucent clouds. For example, Cora Randall, AIM science team member, said in April 2014:
… we have found that the winter air temperature in Indianapolis, Indiana, is well correlated with the frequency of noctilucent clouds over Antarctica.
The video below has more about the teleconnections in noctilucent clouds.
When the sun is below the ground horizon but visible from the high altitude of noctilucent clouds, sunlight illuminates these clouds, causing them to glow in the dark night sky. Illustration via NASA.
How can I see notilucent clouds? If you want to see the clouds, what steps should you take? Remember, you have to be at a relatively high latitude on Earth to see them: between about 45° and 60° North or South latitude.
For best results, look for these clouds from about May through August in the Northern Hemisphere, and from November through February in the Southern Hemisphere.
Noctilucent clouds are primarily visible when the sun is just below the horizon, say, from about 90 minutes to about two hours after sunset or before sunrise. At such times, when the sun is below the ground horizon but visible from the high altitude of noctilucent clouds, sunlight illuminates these clouds, causing them to glow in the dark night sky.
Noctilucent clouds can be seen from space, too. Astronauts in the International Space Station (ISS) took this photo on January 5, 2013, when ISS was over the Pacific Ocean south of French Polynesia. Below the brightly-lit noctilucent clouds, across the center of the image, the pale orange band is the stratosphere. Image via NASA

Bottom line: Noctilucent or night-shining clouds form in the highest reaches of the atmosphere – the mesosphere – as much as 50 miles (80 km) above the Earth’s surface. They’re seen during summer in polar regions.
MAP: The surprising places where Americans are running into UFOs
MAP: The surprising places where Americans are running into UFOs
On March 13, 1997, near Phoenix, five — or maybe seven — bright lights appeared in the night sky in a "V" formation, like a strange flock of birds. Local news outlets were flooded with reports of what is now known as the Phoenix Lights, one of the more tantalizing "mass sightings" in the past few decades for those who Want To Believe.
Sixty-four people reported the lights to the National UFO Reporting Center.
"My wife and I were walking our dogs on the south side of South Mountain in the mountain park when we saw the ufo come over the mountain at low altitude," one account reads. "It was s i l e n t and had 5 white globes along the leading edge of a black triangle shaped object which blacked out the stars and was about a mile wide."
But there's another way to see the Phoenix Lights: According to a new map plotting more than 90,000 sightings from the National UFO Reporting Center's database, it's one of the most widely reported sightings of the past several decades.
The interactive map, from Max Galka, plots each distinct sighting in the database with green and blue circles. Blue circles represent sightings reported by just one witness; green circles mean there are multiple accounts of the same event. The bigger the green circle, the more reported sightings there are of that particular event.
The map looks like this:

Who knew the Chicago area was such a hotbed of UFO activity? Six of the 10 biggest UFO sightings on the map, as ranked by number of witnesses, were in Illinois, Galka noted in an analysis.
The biggest was the Tinley Park Lights. UFO enthusiasts might know about them, but the Tinley Park sightings don't even have their own Wikipedia page.
The mass sighting in Phoenix is represented by that huge green dot in the southwest. In the interactive version, available here, the green dots are clickable. The map will then pull up all of the witness accounts that are available, along with any photo or video "evidence" of aliens among us.
The database goes back nearly a century, Galka told The Washington Post, but the further back you go, the less complete it is. The National UFO Reporting Center started collecting first-person accounts about 20 years ago and accepts reports pertaining to any date in history. The data from recent years is much more robust, as witnesses can report what they saw shortly after it happened.

"That's true by number of reports per capita," Galka told The Post in an interview.
"But it turns out that the important sightings, the ones that have some credibility behind them, are in dense areas," Galka said.
By "credible," Galka doesn't mean confirmed sightings of aliens. Instead, viewing America's UFO sightings by number of witnesses, "credible" simply means that witnesses were likely responding to some actual event, which they interpreted as a UFO.
"Everyone hears 'UFO' and they think urban legends, like bigfoot," Galka said. "But when you have these big sightings that were seen by thousands of people, you can debate what's up there, but that's not urban legend, that's just a mystery."
As the Phoenix Lights demonstrates, that mystery can linger even after a reasonable explanation. Lt. Col. Ed Jones, a pilot at the time with the Air National Guard, said that he was part of a small squadron of A-10s flying over the area that evening. The lights, he said, were flares that he and the other pilots released from their planes.
Galka noticed another interesting detail that might help explain some of the other mysterious sightings: Americans have a tendency to see quite a lot more UFOs in the sky right around the Fourth of July, when towns across the country plan fireworks shows.

Circular orbits of small exoplanets: Which Earth-sized exoplanets are potentially habitable?

Circular orbits of small exoplanets: Which Earth-sized exoplanets are potentially habitable?
Viewed from above, our solar system’s planetary orbits around the sun resemble rings around a bulls-eye. Each planet, including Earth, keeps to a roughly circular path, always maintaining the same distance from the sun.
For decades, astronomers have wondered whether the solar system’s circular orbits might be a rarity in our universe. Now a new analysis suggests that such orbital regularity is instead the norm, at least for systems with planets as small as Earth.
In a paper published in the Astrophysical Journal, researchers from MIT and Aarhus University in Denmark report that 74 exoplanets, located hundreds of light-years away, orbit their respective stars in circular patterns, much like the planets of our solar system.
These 74 exoplanets, which orbit 28 stars, are about the size of Earth, and their circular trajectories stand in stark contrast to those of more massive exoplanets, some of which come extremely close to their stars before hurtling far out in highly eccentric, elongated orbits.
“Twenty years ago, we only knew about our solar system, and everything was circular and so everyone expected circular orbits everywhere,” says Vincent Van Eylen, a visiting graduate student in MIT’s Department of Physics. “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. We find that for small planets, circular is probably the norm.”
Ultimately, Van Eylen says that’s good news in the search for life elsewhere. Among other requirements, for a planet to be habitable, it would have to be about the size of Earth — small and compact enough to be made of rock, not gas. If a small planet also maintained a circular orbit, it would be even more hospitable to life, as it would support a stable climate year-round. (In contrast, a planet with a more eccentric orbit might experience dramatic swings in climate as it orbited close in, then far out from its star.)
“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,” Van Eylen says. “But what we find is, probably we don’t have to worry too much because circular cases are fairly common.”
Star-crossed numbers
In the past, researchers have calculated the orbital eccentricities of large, “gas giant” exoplanets using radial velocity — a technique that measures a star’s movement. As a planet orbits a star, its gravitational force will tug on the star, causing it to move in a pattern that reflects the planet’s orbit. However, the technique is most successful for larger planets, as they exert enough gravitational pull to influence their stars.
Researchers commonly find smaller planets by using a transit-detecting method, in which they study the light given off by a star, in search of dips in starlight that signify when a planet crosses, or “transits,” in front of that star, momentarily diminishing its light. Ordinarily, this method only illuminates a planet’s existence, not its orbit. But Van Eylen and his colleague Simon Albrecht, of Aarhus University, devised a way to glean orbital information from stellar transit data.
They first reasoned that if they knew the mass and radius of a planet’s star, they could calculate how long a planet would take to orbit that star, if its orbit were circular. The mass and radius of a star determines its gravitational pull, which in turn influences how fast a planet travels around the star.
By calculating a planet’s orbital velocity in a circular orbit, they could then estimate a transit’s duration — how long a planet would take to cross in front of a star. If the calculated transit matched an actual transit, the researchers reasoned that the planet’s orbit must be circular. If the transit were longer or shorter, the orbit must be more elongated, or eccentric.
Not so eccentric
To obtain actual transit data, the team looked through data collected over the past four years by NASA’s Kepler telescope — a space observatory that surveys a slice of the sky in search of habitable planets. The telescope has monitored the brightness of over 145,000 stars, only a fraction of which have been characterized in any detail.
The team chose to concentrate on 28 stars for which mass and radius have previously been measured, using asteroseismology — a technique that measures stellar pulsations, which reflect a star’s mass and radius.
These 28 stars host multiplanet systems — 74 exoplanets in all. The researchers obtained Kepler data for each exoplanet, looking not only for the occurrence of transits, but also their duration. Given the mass and radius of the host stars, the team calculated each planet’s transit duration if its orbit were circular, then compared the estimated transit durations with actual transit durations from Kepler data.
Across the board, Van Eylen and Albrecht found the calculated and actual transit durations matched, suggesting that all 74 exoplanets maintain circular, not eccentric, orbits.
“We found that most of them matched pretty closely, which means they’re pretty close to being circular,” Van Eylen says. “We are very certain that if very high eccentricities were common, we would’ve seen that, which we don’t.”
Van Eylen says the orbital results for these smaller planets may eventually help to explain why larger planets have more extreme orbits.
“We want to understand why some exoplanets have extremely eccentric orbits, while in other cases, such as the solar system, planets orbit mostly circularly,” Van Eylen says. “This is one of the first times we’ve reliably measured the eccentricities of small planets, and it’s exciting to see they are different from the giant planets, but similar to the solar system.”

Crashing comets may explain mysterious lunar swirls
Brown University researchers have produced new evidence that lunar swirls — wispy bright regions scattered on the Moon’s surface — were created by several comet collisions over the last 100 million years.
In a paper published in the journal Icarus, the researchers use state-of-the-art computer models to simulate the dynamics of comet impacts on the lunar soil. The simulations suggest that such impacts can account for many of the features in the mysterious swirls.
“We think this makes a pretty strong case that the swirls represent remnants of cometary collisions,” said Peter Schultz, a planetary geoscientist at Brown University. Schultz co-wrote the paper with his former graduate student, Megan Bruck Syal, who is now a researcher at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
Lunar swirls have been the source of debate for years. The twisting, swirling streaks of bright soil stretch, in some cases, for thousands of miles across the lunar surface. Most are found on the unseen far side of the Moon, but one famous swirl called Reiner Gamma can be seen by telescope on the southwestern corner of the Moon’s near side. “It was my favorite object to look at when I was an amateur astronomer,” Schultz said.
At first glance, the swirls do not appear to be related to large impact craters or any other topography. “They simply look as if someone had finger-painted the surface,” Schultz said. “There has been an intense debate about what causes these features.”
In the 1970s, scientists discovered that many of the swirls were associated with anomalies of the Moon’s crustal magnetic field. That revelation led to one hypothesis for how the swirls may have formed. Rocks below the surface in those spots might contain remanent magnetism from early in the Moon’s history, when its magnetic field was much stronger than it is now. It had been proposed that those strong, locally trapped magnetic fields deflect the onslaught of the solar wind, which was thought to slowly darken the Moon’s surface. The swirls would remain brighter than the surrounding soil because of those magnetic shields.
But Schultz had a different idea for how the swirls may form — one that has its roots in watching the lunar modules land on the Moon during the Apollo program.
“You could see that the whole area around the lunar modules was smooth and bright because of the gas from the engines scoured the surface,” Schultz said. “That was part of what got me started thinking comet impacts could cause the swirls.”
Comets carry their own gaseous atmosphere called a coma. Schultz thought that when small comets slam into the Moon’s surface — as they occasionally do — the coma may scour away loose soil from the surface, not unlike the gas from the lunar modules. That scouring may produce the bright swirls.
Schultz first published a paper outlining the idea in the journal Nature in 1980. That paper focused on how the scouring of the delicate upper layer of lunar soils could produce brightness consistent with the swirls. The structure of the grains in the upper layer (termed the “fairy castle structure” because of the way grains stick together) scatters sun’s rays, causing a dimmer and darker appearance. When this structure is stripped away, the remaining smoothed surface would be brighter than unaffected areas, especially when the sun’s rays strike it at certain angles. For Reiner Gamma on the lunar nearside, those areas appear brightest during the crescent Moon just before sunrise.
As computer simulations of impact dynamics have gotten better, Schultz and Bruck-Syal decided it might be time to take a second look at whether comet impacts could produce that kind of scouring. Their new simulations showed that the impact of a comet coma plus its icy core would indeed have the effect of blowing away the smallest grains that sit atop the lunar soil. The simulations showed that the scoured area would stretch for perhaps thousands of kilometers from the impact point, consistent with the swirling streaks that extend across the Moon’s surface. Eddies and vortices created by the gaseous impact would explain the swirls’ twisty, sinuous appearance.
The comet impact hypothesis could also explain the presence of magnetic anomalies near the swirls. The simulations showed that a comet impact would melt some of the tiny particles near the surface. When small, iron-rich particles are melted and then cooled, they record the presence of any magnetic field that may be present at the time. “Comets carry with them a magnetic field created by streaming charged particles that interact with the solar wind,” Schultz said. “As the gas collides with the lunar surface, the cometary magnetic field becomes amplified and recorded in the small particles when they cool.”
Taken together, the results offer a more complete picture of how the swirls form, the researchers say.
“This is the first time anyone has looked at this using modern computational techniques,” Schultz said. “Everything we see in simulations of comet impacts is consistent with the swirls as we see them on the Moon. We think this process provides a consistent explanation, but may need new Moon missions to finally resolve the debate.”

The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The weekly intelligence report provides you with information on the latest sightings and UFO news that you need to understand the world situation. The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force and Prince Phillip told me of his personal interest in UFOs. The US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.
I receive a series of letters from people who claim they are immigrants from other planets. I listen and attempt to determine if their stories are valid. They often hold important positions and one ran a multi-million dollar company using some of his off planet inventions. I thought you might like to read a letter from Susan.
Special Reports
General Lionel M. Chassin Mysterious Objects
Commanding General of the French Air Forces states, “The number of thoughtful, intelligent, educated people in full possession of their faculties who have “seen something” and described it, grows every day. We can say categorically that mysterious objects have indeed appeared and continue to appear in the sky that surrounds us.”
French fighter jets have been scrambled to pursue UFOs and UFOs have hovered over important military facilities.
Commanding General of the French Air Forces, and General Air Defense Coordinator of the Allied Air Forces of NATO, in foreword to Aime Michel’s “Flying Saucers and the Straight-Line Mystery”, Criterion Books, 1958. The book has an enthusiastic preface by General L. M. Chassin, General Air Defense Coordinator, Allied Air Forces, Central Europe (NATO), in which he asserts: “This book should be in every library.”
Vessel Descended from Heaven
King James Bible states:
“The next day, as they were on their way and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop about the sixth hour to pray.And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet held at the four corners, and let down to the earth: Wherein were all manner of four footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.” And the voice spoke unto him again the second time, “You must stop calling unclean what God has made clean.” This was done three times and the vessel was received up again into heaven.” Acts 10-9 -16.
Note: The Bible gives us hints that God and his angels use flying vessels to carry animals and humans. This one was apparently rectangle shaped like a sheet. Four footed beasts of the earth and wild beasts would tear a sheet, so it must have been more substantial like an often reported rectangular UFO.
Canada Close Encounter and Radiation Burns
Falcon Lake Manitoba— Stephen Michalak of Winnipeg was prospecting near Falcon Lake, Manitoba, when he encountered two UFOs. Canada’s most noteworthy and dramatic UFO report occurred on May 20, 1967. Around noon on that day, an amateur geologist named Stephen Michalak was chipping rock samples when he was startled by the appearance of two craft descending to the earth close to him. While one merely hovered briefly, then shot upward into the cloud cover, the other settled to the ground about 160 feet from him. It slowed and made a sound that Michalak said, “It sounded like an engine.” As it cooled down, its color changed from red to gold.
Michalak, managed quickly to sketch the UFO (above) to be 12 feet high and about 35 feet across at the base. His sketches included slots surrounding a dome-like projection at the top, and ventilation or exhaust grids along the sides. He also observed purplish light glowing through the side grates and powerful odors of sulphur coming from the ship. Suddenly, a hatch opened at the side of the UFO, and Michalak was able to make out voices just inside the hatchway. He tried calling out, in several different languages, to no avail, there was no response. He approached the craft, and the hatch shut abruptly, as though the UFO discouraged any further attempts at communication.
The geologist was wearing heavy, protective clothing, including gloves and goggles. Still, he could detect warmth radiating off the structure’s surface. When he reached out to touch it, his glove melted. Then, without warning, Michalak was blown off his feet by a blast of incredible heat from one of the UFO’s side vents. As the craft shot upward, Michalak was left lying on his back, stunned, with his clothing on fire. Michalak’s fantastic tale might have been dismissed as the product of an overactive imagination had he not been admitted to a hospital with severe radiation burns and many symptoms indicative of radiation poisoning. His stomach even showed a pattern of 30 circular burns exactly matching the grid pattern of the UFO’s side vents. Specialists who examined him advised him that any additional exposure to the radioactive source would have proved fatal. Thanks to Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ worldUFOphotos
EM Drive
Several people have reported they flew to the Moon for lunch and returned all in one day. I doubted their story but now NASA claims their new EM-drive could enable travel from the surface of Earth to the surface of the moon within four hours. Remember our technological ability is far ahead of what we are told.
So my friend’s story is not so fantastic, since we are seldom informed what the actual capability of our craft is. It propels a craft in a spiral trajectory up to LEO in 36 days. Moving out from LEO, Mr. March, from NASA Eagle Works, noted that a spacecraft equipped with EM drive technology could surpass the performance expectations of the WarpStar-I concept vehicle.
Such a vehicle would be capable of carrying two to six passengers and luggage and would be able to return to Earth in the same four-hour interval using one load of hydrogen and oxygen for fuel cell-derived electrical power, assuming a 500 to 1,000 Newton/kW efficiency EM Drive system. evaluating nasas futuristic em drive
Letter from Earth Guardian Susan Signal
Susan feels she lived on a different planet before she was born on Earth. She remembers alien parents and working on alien ships, but now lives on Earth, but continues to work aboard their craft to heal the Earth. She is referred to as a walk in.
She claims she works with her alien friends. She writes, “I was with Ysoron, Arkarons and the Arkwetkweons on an alien base. It was sunny out and the base was a joint alien base used for central planetary vortex rectification and stabilization processes. I saw Ytitu, and the rest of my composite ovoid crew. I noticed that I am always with Ysoron whenever I meet the Nyindan crew. Afterwards, we met the planetary master-enhancer races and left back up into the M-ship.”
Awakening I had a detailed scene where I met with the Arkaron, Arkwetkweon and other enhancer races. We were on the M-ship. I was with Ysoron, my main alien mate of the ovoids. Since I’ve been working in total oneness of my true identity, Ysoron has assumed my main spouse post. He goes with me everywhere. He took me to the 3 ovoid crew members when we beamed onboard the M-ship. The 3 ovoid-enhancer beings told me that Nyinda was a hybrid; ovoid-humanoid type shell made specifically for central planetary vortex energy channeling and refinement, not DNA enhancement or compensating for inadequate genome. The human is not us-we are true ovoid aliens. We are Chulbucal-Bhudactan enhancer races, not humanoid-only the shells.
I had a scene where I was on an Arkwetkweon M-ship and had to channel data on other ovoid aliens and calibrate the ships’ gyro system. Then, I beamed down and saw a petite, slight, blonde woman who acted giddiesh when happy and timid when afraid or sad. She was with friends as I levitated towards her, to take her up in the M-ship. She was afraid of me, so, I showed her how I flew over wires. Then, I came back, grabbed her underneath her right bicep and started levitating her up with me up into the M-ship.
These are the triangle ships that the Obrakon fly and that are spotted all over the globe in their fantastic master geomancy maneuvers. Back in the summer of 2011, I actually saw a triangle ship fly over my bedroom roof at least 10 times.
Back in 2008, my niece looked out her bedroom window and also saw a triangle ship slowly fly away to the east from over my bedroom window. It was 3 AM in the morning and it had apparently hung over my bedroom for a long time before it left.
This is Odivar of the Obrakon, the ones who fly the triangle ships. Although, I’m sure there are other alien races that fly triangle ships of varying technological advancement. These ships usually have a solid leading red front on them as in the drawings. They, along with the Arkwetkweons, Arkarons, Chulbolkon, etc, are all a direct lineage of the Chulbolkon-Budactan soul group. They all originated in the Crab nebula, which I found out later, through “Ancient Aliens; The Series, that the Zuni Indians claim that their ancestors, sky people came from the Crab nebula. Japanese and Chinese astronomers recorded the violent explosion of star nearly 1,000 years ago in 1054, as did, almost certainly, Native Americans. Assuming there was warning aliens would have needed to travel to a different star solar system such as our own to escape the destruction of their star. Thanks to Susan Signal, suejrad@aol.com
Secret Alien Bases on Mars and the Moon
Thousands of planets have been discovered outside our Solar System suggesting there are billions of planets. We can assume that some of these planets contain galactic civilizations that launch space ships capable of visiting Earth. My contacts at NORAD indicate that Uncorrelated Targets are regularly tracked entering and leaving our atmosphere. Uncorrelated targets are those not recorded and tracked such as satellites in the NORAD database. High quality witnesses routinely report these uncorrelated targets to UFO reporting agencies. In the 1950s, the Air Force estimated that one third of the UFO reports from its aircrews and radars were legitimate unknown flying objects. Obviously, they knew the location of their own secret and classified aircraft thus their and my estimates are that a third of the sightings are alien craft. Filer’s Files attempts to bring you the best available sightings each week.
Carl Sagan and I. S. Shklovskii and their book “Intelligent Life in the Universe” have written: “With the numbers we have discussed, it seems possible that the earth has been visited by various galactic civilizations many times (possibly every 10,000 years) during geological time. It is not out of the question that artifacts of these visits still exist – although none have been found to date – or even that some type of base is maintained in the solar system to provide continuity for successive expeditions. Because of weathering and the possibility of detection and interference by the inhabitants of the Earth, it might be preferable not to erect such a base on the earth’s surface.” 1966, page 461.
The authors indicated the galactic visitors would most likely place secret bases on Mars and the backside of the moon, to avoid our civilization discovering their presence. A galactic civilization studying Earth would soon learn that humans are violent and war like. Camouflaging bases may be a standard procedure.
While I was stationed at Langley AFB many of our intelligence personnel regularly claimed that bases had in fact been found on our Moon. (Shown at right)
The Brookings Report suggested that religionists, especially Christians, along with scientists and engineers would have difficulty accepting proof of artificiality – which suggests that they would reject it if there was any way they could do so.
Dr. Milton is a geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, commenting in Science Newsfront who reports that, “We have photographed the Martian mystery channels (canals). They resemble huge flood channels some 24 miles wide and several hundred miles long, shaped by sudden discharges of water that dwarf the flow of the Amazon River.”
An international AP release stated that photos of Mars’ northern regions reveal mysterious patterns, resembling contour PLOWING on the planet’s red surface. Striped patterns that resemble an aerial photograph of a farmer’s field after plowing have been studied with no natural explanation. The stripes are too regular to be natural.
As a result, when the night temperature on the red Martian plains dips to sixty to one hundred degrees below zero, near the moss at the canyon floors it may be 40 to 50 degrees above zero. The oxygen of the air is largely fixed by the ground under the atmospheric pressure that is really about a tenth of the surface of Earth (at sea level), so there can be a 40 degree difference between air and ground. The bottoms of such canyons have released enough oxygen to support small humanoids with robust vitality. (Even NASA admits huge quantities of oxygen and water are trapped below the Martian ground).
The photo shows a large area that appears to be an area mined on Mars in typical open pit mining. Notice in the upper left the huge letters that may be YHWH (Yahweh) the Jewish name of God. In case the letters indicate intelligent life on Mars.
Worldwide Disease Threatens
A mining engineer returning from Liberia returned to New Jersey last week and died after spending several days in the hospital. The engineer had Lassa fever, a hemorrhagic fever similar to Ebola common in West Africa. He returned to the hospital three days after his first visit and died.
Regarding Haiti, the United Nations has so far not accepted responsibility for the cholera outbreak that has killed 8,500 people and infected more than 700,000 since October 2010, despite evidence that it was brought to Haiti by Nepalese peacekeepers stationed near a major river.
Illegal immigrants are apparently bringing in disease to the countries they are traveling into. Someone with an illness would hope they could obtain superior treatment in a more advanced country. On May 29, the Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSHS) announced that the four new cases of tuberculosis were being treated after individuals came into contact with patient zero.
Officials also advised that an additional 60 people were being screened for TB who had possible contact with one of the infected individuals according to Gregg County, TX (KLTV) Co-infection with TB and diabetes is also more common along the border than in the rest of the state. TB/HIV co-infection is more commonly found in urban areas of Texas. KLTV.
Ariel Phenomenon
On September 16, 1994, at the Ariel primary school in Zimbabwe, 60+ school children reported seeing a disc shaped craft land in the area beyond the playground, and two beings approach the group. There were also multiple reports of sightings of unusual phenomena by thousands of Zimbabweans during this same time period. This case was so sensational at the time that Dr. John Mack, a Pulitzer Prize winning Harvard psychiatrist, traveled to the school to interview the children. Initially covered by the BBC, Reuters and other world press, this sighting quickly disappeared from the public eye. Until now. American filmmaker Randall Nickerson recently traveled to Africa and around the world to locate and interview the now adult witnesses and others who were key participants in the event. “Ariel Phenomenon” documents the story of this incredible occurrence, then and now, and will show the impact that has lasted for over twenty years.
Join the filmmakers in completing this amazing film. Word of the “Ariel Phenomenon” film has gotten out and several new witnesses have come forward who will need to be interviewed in order to tell the story in its entirety. Help is needed in completing these last interviews and in the remaining post production necessary to complete this extraordinary film this year. An Indiegogo campaign is currently under way, until June 18, 2015. The production team is asking for help to complete these last crucial interviews. The Indiegogo campaign
A film trailer and more details about this historic event can be found at Film Trailer. You can also become part of the film’s team and follow its progress on Facebook at “Ariel School Documentary” and Twitter at “Ariel School Film”.

Filer’s Files # 23 – 2015 More Close Encounters - PART II
Sightings of UFOs in the United States
California Lights
Weed — I couldn’t sleep due to my illness on May 23, 2015, and heard dogs whine and a weird noise, so I got my phone which is also my night light. I looked out the window and saw the erratic behavior of a flying object. It was not real bright but lasted 3 to 4 minutes maneuvering in the sky. I felt a rush like I was on good drugs and it turned out I had lost 20 minutes. I had like a burn on my left wrist. I have a brain tumor and after the missing time, the next three days were pain free. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Chesapeake Bay Disc
I was fishing in the Chesapeake Bay on May 24, 2015, and I looked up for a moment because a very loud boat just went by. As I looked up the clouds were beautiful, and saw a black object in the sky. I was out for a very fishing from 3:30 PM to 8:45 PM with my family. At the end of our trip, I looked at the sunset, and that same black dot was still sitting there in the distance. No helicopter or blimp would stay in the same spot for 5 hours. I started taking pictures and the dot was still just sitting there. On the way home, we go over a highly elevated bridge, and looked west where it had been all day. I saw a flash of yellow light, and the object was gone. I have always believed in aliens and seen a UFO other times. The enhanced image was a UFO. Thanks to William Puckett, Director UFOsnw
Delaware Disc
Dover — I was watching a NASCAR race and during the National Anthem a white round object flew down in the sky on May 31, 2015. It then flew up and away behind a cloud as I videotaped it around noon.
The cameraman must have noticed it also and made a point to tape it.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Light
Naples –- On May 2, 2015, seven craft were seen flying in formation and stopped traffic on I-75. The flight flying at an altitude of 2000 feet just over the beach with several possible witnesses? I need confirmation and possible location of video to review. A dialog is in progress and confirmation is needed for verification of the dialog. Thanks to Cyrellys G. Manticore Group/Compass Morainn
West Palm Beach— I was taking a walk with my dog at Okeeheelee Park like we do every day and looked up at 11:49 AM, and saw this huge object on May 29, 2015. It was over Okeeheelee Golf Course east of me. I was thinking this was a huge strange kite or blimp? The dull grey object had a cigar shape with a dome/bump on the top with a row of windows on the side. It hovered silently 500 feet away and was silent camouflaged with clouds around it. My dog became upset with his tail curled up under him, and he pulled away as I tried unsuccessfully to capture a picture. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Illinois Light
Springfield — I was about 15 miles from where I live on May 28, 2015, and came out of a store with my husband and saw my visitor was in the sky. This light is now following us home.
I was so excited last night around midnight. My son his girlfriend and I were on the front porch. I had just sat down from checking out the visitors and my son’s girlfriend kept staring in the sky. She said you didn’t bring your phone out here. She said look at your visitor. He was hovering over the field across the street from my house. I grabbed my phone and ran to the end of driveway stepping in mud puddles to get this recorded. We watched it for three minutes before it disappeared. Thanks to Pamela
Kansas Disc
Oak Hill— I was taking pictures of lightning during a storm with my cell phone on May 28, 2015. After viewing the pictures I came across this picture that clearly has an object in it.
I did not see anything with my eyes nor did I hear anything outside other than the thunder and light rain. I was sitting in the open doorway with no obstructions in front of me.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Kentucky Disc
My daughter was riding her horse at the barn in our neighborhood on May 27, 2015. The fast moving UFO was spotted in the background of the video that was taken. It moves extremely fast in the background that you can barely notice it. In slow motion it is definitely much easier to see.
The black object was disc like. Once we blew the picture up it appeared to have a dome shape. There was no resemblance to an airplane or helicopter.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Louisiana Lights
New Orleans— I was outside looking at stars with my video camera with its amazing zoom function, while looking for stars these lights caught my attention on May 30. 2015, and I couldn’t believe what was happening. The sounds were amazing and it got a little eerie once it beamed light toward me and a sound frequency I’ll never forget. Afterwards I can occasionally still hear the frequency and humming sound.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Michigan Cylinder
Clinton Township— On May 27, 2015 looking northwest into Macomb Township, I was taking pictures of a severe wall cloud storm with my Nikon D3100 camera and a funnel cloud at 3:35 pm. After the storm I looked at the pictures and found this white pencil or tube shaped craft. It was directly under the advancing wall cloud. The next picture of this object was harder to spot, but I found it in the top, right hand side. It flew east with this storm. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Mississippi Orb
Brandon — The witness called and reported his May 14, 2015, sighting at 9:16 PM. The witness was outside “messing” with his boat and saw the object in the sky. The witness grabbed his cell phone and began videoing the object. Four other family members also witnessed the sighting. The object showed various blue, red and green lights and moved erratically and appeared to change shapes. The object was seen over Ross Barnett Reservoir and descended behind the trees. Thanks to William Puckett, Director UFOsnw
Missouri Eyeball
Highway I-72— We were just taking pictures of unusual clouds on May 24, 2015, and afterwards noticed a square object ejecting out of clouds.
Then we noticed what looks like a giant transparent eyeball. I just thought it was unusual and may interest you. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Hampshire Giant Sphere
Whitefield— I have trail cam set up about 55 feet from my home taking photos. When I looked at my pictures taken on May 28, 2015, I saw this giant sphere above my oil tank. We have 10 pictures all within one minute of the object taken by the A trail cam. I will send some of the pictures.
Please let me know what it is. I had the trail cam in the same place for the past month this is the first time seeing this. And it cannot be a reflection from anything due to there is nothing around but trees. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New York Orbs
New York — The photo I’m sending you was taken on May 11, 2014, from a cruise boat sailing to the north on the Hudson River west of Manhattan. The photo was taken in a north-east direction towards Central Park.
When you do enlarge the photo, you will notice little white flatted dots in the sky above the buildings on the photo. They appeared out of the blue, forming a sort of stretched circles from the south to the north. Every circle consisted of about 11 dots. Being bright at first they slowly faded afterwards. Somewhat later we saw seven Chinook helicopters flying to the north. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Oregon Orbs
Forest Grove — I was driving in the plains of Forest Grove with a friend and about 8 pm on September 19, 2014, my friend spots a big bright circular light in the sky. It was stationary a little bit above the horizon. We watch as it splits into three orbs, all the same size and shape. They make a triangle, one on bottom and the other two split on top. During the next 5 minutes, it split from 4 orbs into 6 hovering orbs until we drove out of view about 8 minutes later. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Pennsylvania Triangle
Erie —I had just concluded an evening of fishing on Misery Bay on May 8, 2015. As I approached Perry’s Monument Bridge at 8:25 pm, I looked south and noticed a bright light near the monument up in the air. The light was flying closer and getting much brighter. Other people around the monument area seemed oblivious to the entire event. I crossed the bridge and was trying to watch this thing. It flew directly over me and slowed down and changed direction as if it noticed me. I pulled my truck into the parking area near Perry’s Monument and stopped as it hovered over the road. The craft was triangular in shape, solid, with a bright glowing orange surface like steel heated in a blast furnace. I actually felt fear as I did not know what would happen next. The craft then flew north and then west. I attempted to follow it in my vehicle but I ran out of road NOTE: The above image is a rendering. Thanks to Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ worldUFOphotos
Tennessee Crop Circle
Maryville – On May 24, 2015: Sighting in private valley in foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains near, during pig roast at around 1:30AM. At the fire pit with 4 other friends listening to acoustic music, I was surprised when a bright light lit up the area, at first wondering why a car was coming up the hill driveway with bright lights on. But I immediately realized it wasn’t a car because of no noise and the light was too bright. I turned around to my friends who were exclaiming, “What was that?” A flat object flew over the small valley, and created a bright blue-white light flash illumination with no sound that my friends clearly saw. We all saw the brilliant blue-white light flash lighting up the valley.
Several days after our incident, a new crop circle was discovered in Gray, TN which is 123 miles from Maryville. This is the second crop circle to be formed in the same field location: first one discovered May 13, 2013. I attached the crop circle photos to this report. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Light
Schertz – On May 31, 2015, these images submitted were captured on my iPhone/iPad off an app called “Weather Bug” that gives details of the weather for various locations depending on what zip code you put in. Sometimes when I can’t sleep, I open up weather bug and look at the “Live camera feeds”. Depending on what your location is, they have camera feeds from all over the area. Sometimes, I see some pretty strange things so I take a snapshot of my screen. Since it is on my iPhone, the images are tiny and distorted. This is from May 30th, 2015, around 1 AM. It might be a plane but the weather has been really bad, so I doubt it was a plane. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Virginia Triangle
Front Royal — Upon leaving a wedding reception at the Holiday Inn Express I took a picture of the sunset on May 30. 2015.
I later reviewed the pictures and saw what appeared to be a UFO. Therefore, I am submitting this report. I have been watching for UFO’s for years.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Goodview— I don’t have the time at the moment to complete this. I saw an obvious type of intellectual aircraft fully controlled by something on June 1, 2015. I will probably never think about life the same way again it was completely mind blowing. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Worldwide UFO Reports
Australia Orange Sphere
Brockman – I observed it descend from sky on May 6, 2015, with a bright orange glow. It hovered over at altitude and made zigzag movements. It sometimes disappeared but it would reappear within 1-2 seconds. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director UFOCenter
Canada Lights
Burlington— On May 28th 2015 at 11:20 PM sitting on our porch we saw a huge bright orange light rising from behind the tree. It lit up and looked like a floating sun. We thought maybe it was a plane on fire or an asteroid, but as it came closer to us it slowed down and started to lower and hovered above our house for 6 minutes. It was absolutely enormous (200 to 300 feet) and dead silent. We were frozen looking at the red, orange, and yellow flames shooting all around. The pulsating light it emitted was like a small sun hovering between 500 to 1000 feet above us. The back of it was a light black diamond shape with lights on the side. It started to ascend quickly and took off with speed. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Scarborough — On May 6, 2015, I came outside from work into our parking lot for a break at 3:03 PM. The sky was quite clear along with some jet trails. After a couple minutes I noticed a strange glinting light less than a mile away whose movements were jerky. The object flew at 200 feet or less and was shape shifting? As I photographed, I yelled to two coworkers, “Look a UFO.” The object was moving slowly northwest – less than 100 MPH, One looks like a spaceship! Thanks to Paul Shishis Video
Dominican Republic
Santo Domingo– I was at the front yard of my house on May 24, 2015, relaxing after sunset at 7:12 PM, when I saw in the sky a dark and solid flying object with spherical shape passing in SE direction over my neighborhood. I also saw Venus and Jupiter that were much smaller. I called my wife and children and I showed them the solid or metallic flying object. The craft was a sphere about 7 meters (25 feet) in diameter, black in color with soft shades of gray and with a solid texture. The speed was approximately 300 km/hour. The aircraft didn’t have propellers, external engines, windows or extensions below. The flight was at about 500 feet, silent, and without navigation lights. I feel shocked because of this UFO experience. I’m a civil engineer with master degree and I am a professional trained in mathematical and physical sciences. I called the “Aeropuerto Internacional de Las Americas” and radio station Z101 to report the event. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Finland Oval
Laukaa – On May 29, 2015, It rose up from a far away beach, hovered a bit and then disappeared Duration for 12 seconds. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director UFOCenter
Italy Orbs
Rome — My wife saw and pointed at the object a possible drone, but then I saw the orbs nearby it. In the beginning the orbs just followed it, but then some of them disappeared. They looked like they moved with the wind, but the big object hovered and the orbs in the beginning followed it, and some disappeared. I left the balcony for a few minutes and when I came back it was gone. I don’t think this is a drone. There was something attached to the big object, from time to time as it disappeared or become invisible. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Netherlands Camera Catches Unusual UFO
Onlanden — On May 19, 2015 a Dutchman was taking photos after a rain storm of “hauntingly beautiful skies and suddenly something flashed he reported on his blog. “At first I thought my device, but the flitskap was not up. There was not a drop on my lens. I decided it must have been a lightning. But at home I see something strange in one of the photos that I made at the end of the lane of trees.”
The Dutchman’s original photo of the UFO is on the left. The photo on the right zeroes in on the object. The red marker on the map points to Onlanden, Netherlands. Sky Ships Over Cashiers
Peru Lights
San Isidro — I came out of the house and saw three green cylinder like lights in a diagonal position then another white shaped sphere that drifted east across the sky on January 11, 2015. I went back in the house and grabbed my cell phone and took pictures and video of them. They moved like they lights attached to a kite. The white light drifted west and then east. My friend, and my wife and I focused on three green lights.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
St. Lucia Light
Castries — My Mom had been talking about the strange light behind our house but we never took her seriously until May 28, 2015 when there was no water in the tap. She went to shower in a drum that’s behind the house and asked me to come with her. While she is showering my phone screen made a strange color and went blank. I looked up at this bright white light was hovering over a cherry tree in front me. I walked towards the light that got really bright and I couldn’t see anything. I heard my mom scream, “That’s the light I see, do you see I was not lying?” The light lurched toward her and two smaller brighter lights came from behind the tree. I have never seen anything move so fast and shine so bright. They still come around after 10 PM, but my Mom doesn’t want us to try and catch them. They shoot back up into the sky super fast. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Thailand Sightings
Nakhon Si Thammarat Province— I am in southern Thailand in on the Pacific side of the isthmus in a remote village in a remote area without electric or water. We have no traffic lights, and most folks are lights out at sunset so light pollution here is non-existent. What we see here is two general types of sightings that are always to the east over the Pacific. We are only 2 km from the coast. The first UFO we spotted, and see on numerous occasions is a small light circling another larger light and both would travel a short distance then simply disappear. Later, either those lights or maybe a different pair would reappear in a different location. The next one we see is two lights that chase each other, one light will move just a short distance and another light will chase it.

I saw a bright light in the sky, and took a zoomed in picture, and saw what I knew was nothing like what flies in the sky on April 27. 2015. It looked like a kind of shuttle craft. I had my phone out ready before I caught sight of the craft.
Over the last two years there seems to be allot more things in the sky that aren’t planes. I hope to hear back at what this could be as I’m really interested to know what this could be.
Thanks to MUFON CMS

Our research is uncovering amazing truths by solving challenging projects deemed too difficult by other firms. We have had some success in finding missing persons. We could use your help in getting more results from our research. I have put together a DVD of the last seventeen years of Filer’s Files for you with hundreds of great photographs and UFO sightings. Additionally, I have decided to include my book within the DVD that includes George Ritter’s exciting abduction story told by Linda Moulton Howe. Broadcaster David E. Twichell joined me to write the book. We are asking for a donation of only $50 that includes next year’s subscription and our book. Please include your e-mail address and mailing address.
Have been digging through the giant DVD you sent recently. As a relatively recent joiner, I was unaware of the years’ worth of consistent reports of the same types of objects all over. This has been very educational. Just wanted to thank you for all you’ve done. Bruce W. Freeman Attorney at Law

Inexplicata states: Contributing editor Ana Luisa Cid has sent us a link to her latest video on YouTube, a collaboration with Captain Antonio Herce, an airline pilot. The sequence of photos is followed by a video of the solar halo by Rodney Steve, a Swedish singer-songwriter currently residing in Mexico. A group of spheres – gyrating like a merry-go-round can be seen in this cellphone video. The objects subsequently take off at high speed.
There are billions of galaxies in the observable universe, each with up to a trillion stars, meaning there are likely trillions and trillions of habitable planets in the cosmos.
But, if such worlds are so abundant, and life on Earth has been able to thrive, then why have we not found any aliens yet?
Known as the Fermi paradox, this is a question that continues to plague scientists – and in a video, experts have tried to tackle what’s going on.
But it seems unlikely that we would be the first civilisation to reach this stage, so surely we should have heard from someone by now?
This has led people to suggest that true interstellar travel may be impossible or, more dauntingly, perhaps no civilisation can last long enough to make contact
In a video created by YouTube channel Kurz Gesagt, they take a look at some of the factors that might have prevented us from making contact so far.

UFO videos were released last week from the Chilean government, and an enhanced version of the best part of the videos was provided exclusively to journalist Leslie Kean.
The videos were captured at the Academia de Guerra Aérea (AGA), or Air Force War Academy, in Santiago, Chile in 2012. After years of careful analysis, a scientific board has declared the UFO event an “anomalous luminous phenomenon” of unknown origin.
