Mysterious black circle in the sky not a UFO, says opera house
Mysterious black circle in the sky not a UFO, says opera house
A mysterious black circle could be seen in the sky above Utrecht on Tuesday night. Speculation on what it could be ran wild on Twitter, with theories of a strange weather phenomenon, starlings flying in a pattern and even aliens being thrown about.
The reality turned out to be much more mundane. The mysterious circle is a special effect by Opera Holland for its piece “The Day After”, RTV Utrecht reports “The opera is about the destruction of the earth and an explosion belongs with it”, a spokesperson said to the broadcaster.
“The Day After” will be on show at fort Rijnauwen between June 18th and July 11th.
In this week’s newsletter we begin with an article by Chris Holly about aliens, mankind and God. Next, Cheryl Costa who writes weekly about UFOs just had her own experience involving an orange fireball! Then Pat Regan updates his warning about earth under threat from a cosmic global killer! Latin American contributor Scott Corrales reports on a UFO which appeared over a soccer match. Theresa J Morris claims aliens are concerned about the Jade Helm exercises. New contributor Gene Stewart writes about the Extra-Terrestrial Hypothesis, which uses space aliens to explain UFOs, the abduction phenomenon, the origins of the human race. Next, Amy Major just wrote a book about rescuing spirits. Then Sean Casteel intrigues us with an article about Red Mercury. Another new contributor Cam Clayton has his own opinion about Rennes-Le-Chateau. Robert D. Morningstar reports on how to reverse aging with an article about Kat James. Finally, Deanna Jaxine Stinson shares the secret of life. Enjoy Dirk
ALIENS, MANKIND AND GODby Chris Holly. A few months ago I was sent an email by a woman who was furious at me for writing about aliens due to the fact that she felt that contemplating the idea they existed would mean there was no God. Frankly I could not wrap my head around her logic but knew she was not alone in this thinking as it was not the first time I heard this confusion or ideas very similar to it. More..
MY ORANGE FIREBALL EXPERIENCEby Cheryl Costa. The last thing I expected on this trip was an orange fireball sighting. For nearly two years, I’ve been reporting UFO stories and sightings that other people have had. Yes, of course, I’ve had a few UFO sightings in my youth and young adult years, but nothing I can cite in recent years. That is, until this past week. On June 6, 2015, there were seven of us in a van returning from a conference in Philadelphia. All of us were exhausted from attending three days worth of conference presentations and lectures. For the most part, the return trip was uneventful. We stopped once on Interstate 476 near Allentown for fuel and to get something to eat. All of us thought the highlight of the return trip was watching American Pharaoh win the Triple Crown. More....
EARTH UNDER THREAT FROM COSMIC GLOBAL KILLER: HUMANITY WILL BE DEFENCELESS IN ITS WAKE!by Pat Regan. Whichever way we want to cut the mustard our planet is now clearly under attack and we are only getting incomplete warnings about incoming UFOs entering our air space from the authorities that we are ‘supposed’ to trust! Yesterday once again we were presented with primary and harsh evidence of our sheer vulnerability against unexpected cosmic events. Whilst the widely-trusted scientific community was so busy watching the close trajectory of asteroid 2012DA14 this ‘other’ more deadly entity came in fast and hard. Mankind was in fact looking the ‘other’ way... More....

ALIEN CONCERNS ADDRESS JADE HELM EXERCISES FOR THE COSMOS?by Theresa J Morris. We are always concerned about planet and species sustainability. We the humanoid sentient intelligent being species have our own individual unique knowing that we are alive and would like to remain so as long as possible.

RESCUING SPIRITS, TRAPPED SOULS, AND EARTHBOUND GHOSTSby Warwick Associates. In recent times, there's been increasing interest in the field of Spirit Rescue. Spirit Rescue has been a form of mediumship that has been pushed aside, hidden, or even looked down upon at times. This happens for many reasons, but the most common reasons would be due to fear and misconceptions. Working with ghosts or earthbound energies has always been seen as something that was negative.

RENNES-LE-CHATEAU AND TRUTH: THE DEMISE OF THE OLD SCHOOL RENNIEby Cam Clayton. I am what you might call an ‘Old School’ Rennie. Like most of my fellow Old School Rennies, my interest in Rennes-le-Chateau (RLC) began with Holy Blood, Holy Grail (HBHG). The idea that there might be a hidden, alternative history to explain the mystery of RLC, and perhaps even the arc of European history in general, captured the imaginations of many readers. What attracted us to this book was that its speculative hypotheses purported to be real history, not historical fiction. More....

Will Allen a professional photographer and former White House/Air Force Engineer states, “I have photographs of extraterrestrial craft coming in to land at an extraterrestrial base under or around the White House underneath the Potomac River.”
Mr. Allen stated, “On July 20, 2010 at 3:18:07 AM in NW Washington DC, approximately one mile south east of the White House, I imaged a slow moving hyperdimensional Extraterrestrial space craft pulse through the sky, and then (observed the UFO) fired a ray of light or directed energy beam in the vicinity of the White House.
Mr. Allen, who grew up on U.S. military bases and now resides in Washington, DC, has stated that at age five he was visited by a group of “four to five grey extraterrestrials in silver spacesuits” who implanted him with a device.
That implant device went undetected during all the years of his military and White House service, and now signals him to go to specific locations in Washington, DC where he is instructed to photograph extraterrestrial craft and personnel that enter P-56A restricted Capitol Hill airspace through hyperdimensional Star gates at extremely high speeds.
Mr. Allen believes that his photographs, which are forensic in quality, document that the same intelligent hyperdimensional civilization was behind the July 16, 1952 and the July 16, 2002 flyovers of the U.S. Capitol.
Image left:1952 – Image right: 2002
It is not unreasonable to ascribe intentionality to the hyperdimensional UFO that performed a dimensional shift into a self-generated Star gate phenomenon and entered Washington DC airspace one mile south east of the White House, emitting a ray of light or directed energy beam.
And last year, July 16, 2014, a camera live stream of US Capitol registered a beam of light coming from or directed to the top of the building. See video.
Yet, President Obama continues officially (and personally) to deny that that he lacks evidence of extraterrestrial life. Read full article Here.
The utter transparency and public proximity of Extraterrestrial spacecraft to the White House, the seat of U.S. Executive power, is prima facie evidence that the “ET Disclosure” movement is actually a scripted meme, directed by the Rockefeller interests and U.S. clandestine services for New World Order world government globalist power objectives.
Any ET Disclosure that occurs under the auspices of a United States government administration that is part of the Rockefeller CIA time-travel pre-identified US Presidencies as identified by whistleblower Andrew D. Basiago (So far, Bush Sr.; Clinton I; Bush II; Obama) is actually part of a meme scheme to preserve or enhance global and cosmic power by the Jesuit, Rockefeller and Trilateralists group.
That is, the Rockefeller-CIA-Trilateralist interests want to control the information that is being “disclosed” so as to maximize control over the human population so they can continue as an elite to exploit them.
Whatever the real truth is actually out there, rest assured the Powers That Shouldn’t Be will do whatever it takes to make sure we are never allowed to learn it.
Instead we’ll get drip-fed a bunch of government lies, illusions, distortions, and half-truths as preprogramming for a sinister agenda.
While the probability of life on other planets is surely compelling, we’re not going to find the truth through gatekeepers in establishment positions of power, be that in government, Hollywood, or via elitist billionaires who have documented ulterior motives.
A secret government has set up shop, is deeply rooted, and there’s no getting to the truth without going through them first. Until we deal with the reality of the breakaway civilization that’s been keeping mankind at large in the dark (sometimes literally) for centuries, we can hardly process the significance of contact from beyond.
Extraterrestrial life is being held and will be dealt as a card that requires ascension to world government and submission to a higher earthly authority.
So compelling indeed is the opportunity to use aliens as a pretext for total control, that leader after leader have hinted at its unifying power over humanity.
In the background, the possibly of a Project Blue Beam scenario has been prepared should the time come for the last card to be dealt to a humanity unwilling to march dutifully along under the banner of a one world government New World Order.
According to the Ancient Greeks there were caverns under the surface which were entrances leading to the underworld, some of which were the caverns at Tainaron in Lakonia, at Trozien in Argolis, at Ephya in Thesprotia, at Herakleia in Pontos, and in Ermioni. In Thracians and Dacians legend it is said that there are underground chambers occupied by an ancient God called Zalmoxis. In Mesopotamian religion there is a story of a man who, after traveling through the darkness of a tunnel in the mountain of “Mashu”, entered a subterranean garden.
There is an Irish myth which says tunnels in County Down, Northern Ireland lead to the land of the subterranean Tuatha de Danaan, a group of people who are believed to have introduced Druidism to Ireland, and then went back underground.
An ancient legend of the Angami Naga tribes of India claim that their ancestors emerged in ancient times from a subterranean land inside the earth. There are legends from the Taíno people that their ancestors emerged in ancient times from two caves in a mountain underground.
No energy can reach the center of the cavern, which corresponds to no point a finite distance away from Earth in the widely accepted scientific cosmology. A drill, Gardner says, would lengthen as it traveled away from the cavern and eventually pass through the “point at infinity” corresponding to the center of the Earth in the widely accepted scientific cosmology. Supposedly no experiment can distinguish between the two cosmologies.
Gardner notes that “most mathematicians believe that an inside-out universe, with properly adjusted physical laws, is empirically irrefutable”. Gardner rejects the concave hollow Earth hypothesis on the basis of Occam’s Razor.
Purportedly verifiable hypotheses of a “concave hollow Earth” need to be distinguished from a thought experiment which defines a coordinate transformation such that the interior of the Earth becomes “exterior” and the exterior becomes “interior”. (For example, in spherical coordinates, let radius r go to R²/r where R is the Earth’s radius.) The transformation entails corresponding changes to the forms of physical laws. This is not a hypothesis but an illustration of the fact that any description of the physical world can be equivalently expressed in more than one way.
Exposes the agenda behind the bio-robotic grey aliens’ genetic manipulation of certain human races. Nigel Kerner first introduced the notion of aliens known as Greys coming to Earth, explaining that Greys are sophisticated biological robots created by an extraterrestrial civilization they have long since outlived. In this new book Kerner reveals that the Greys are seeking to master death by obtaining something humans possess that they do not: souls.
Through the manipulation of human DNA, these aliens hope to create their own souls and, thereby, escape the entropic grip of the material universe in favor of the timeless realm of spirit. Kerner explains that genetic manipulation by the Greys has occurred since biblical times and has led to numerous negative qualities that plague humanity
Professor warns alien abductions are happening & hybrids live with us. Is it possible that the abduction stories are true? Is it aliens, demons or mental health issues? Professor says it IS real, it is happening more than we want to admit AND hybrid creatures are here now!
Apparently the entire landscape of the Giza Necropolis, including the Pyramids and the Sphinx, display signs of erosion. This has led researchers to suggest that certain areas of this mighty necropolis were once submerged under the sea and a newly discovered fossil makes this theory look a lot more believable. A pretty cool theory right? Well here is the story.
Archaeologist Sherif El Morsi, who has worked extensively on the Giza plateau for over two decades, and his colleague Antoine Gigal, were the ones who made the discovery of this controversial fossil, which backs up studies and theories that the Pyramids of Giza and the mighty Sphinx were once submerged under the sea. Sherif El Morsi and Antoine Gigal are the founders of Giza for Humanity.
Dr. Robert M. Schloch was one of the first researchers to really address the theory that the structures of the plateau are much older than previously thought. In the early 90’s, Dr. Schlock suggested that the Sphinx was thousands of years older than archaeologists believed, dating back to 5000-9000 BC, this suggestion was based on erosion pattern of water found at the monuments and the surrounding rocks.
Archaeologist Sherif El Morsi has been researching and looking into the mystery ever since. During one of the photo shoots documenting patterns of erosion of several megaliths in the area, he made an even more surprising discovery that suggests that the entire area was submerged at one moment.
“During one of the documentations of the ancient coastline, I almost tripped with a block of the second level of a temple,” said Mr. Morsi in an article published on the website Gigal Research. “To my surprise, the bump on the top surface of the block that almost tripped me was in fact a exoskeleton of a fossil of what appears to be a echinoid (sea urchin) which are marine creatures that live in relatively shallow waters.”
Sherif El Morsi suggests that the Giza plateau was once flooded by a surge. The temple site of Menkare in particular may have been a former lagoon when the sea level covered the Necropolis, the Sphinx, the complex of temples and other monuments of the area.
But there are several other theories which different scientists have suggested. Some researchers believe that the echinoid found on the limestone was actually exposed by erosion and the fossilized creature was part of the original limestone that had formed 30 million years ago. But Morsi responded to these claims in a interesting way, and suggested that the creature was cemented, or petrified, in a relatively recent time, citing evidence that the creature was found placed gravitationally on the floor, that the fossil was in almost perfect condition and was located within the intertidal range of the lagoon, which is a big contrast to the small fish typically found in limestone blocks.
“We can clearly see the pristine condition and the details of the perforations of the exoskeleton, this means that the sea creature must have been petrified in recent times.” -Sherif El Morsi
According to El Morsi, the flooding, was quite significant, peaking at about 75 meters above current sea level and creating a coastline spanning to the Khafra enclosure near the Sphinx at the temple of Menkare. El Morsi also believes that there is evidence present at the monuments and surrounding blocks that suggest the presence of tidal waves in the past, and even suggest a intertidal zone of about two meters.
The Sphinx, the temple of the Sphinx, and the first 20 fields of the Great Pyramid of Giza exhibit erosion due to deep water saturation according to El Morsi.
Dating the exact time of the flood is particularly difficult for researchers since in the last 140,000 thousand years, seal levels have fluctuated by over 120 meters.
Certainly this is a very interesting theory and we look forward in finding out more about the possibility of the Giza Plateau being submerged under water.

Regelmatig krijgen wij foto’s of video-opnames van lezers opgestuurd. Daar zijn we heel blij mee!
Soms zitten daar hele uitzonderlijke bij, zoals de volgende.
Het is een foto die een fiks aantal jaren geleden is genomen op het eiland Tenerife.
De maker, Dienand Christe, schrijft ons het volgende (dank!):
Tenerife, 1993.
Was aan het parapente en nam een 'selfie'. Bij terugkomst in Nederland ontdekte ik pas die klassieke ufo rechts [sic: links] op de foto.
Op het moment zelf dat ik aan het vliegen was helemaal niets gezien en anderen ook niet.
Als je deze foto ergens zou tegenkomen op internet zou je denken dat je te maken hebt met een met photoshop bewerkte foto. Het is namelijk zelden dat je zo’n mooie en duidelijke UFO op een foto tegenkomt.
Hij is fascinerend, ook omdat we weten dat hij echt is en het beeld van de klassieke retro UFO zo duidelijk is dat het moeilijk afgedaan kan worden als een lensflare of een Thaise ballon.
Tenerife is ook een eiland waar je één van de gevaarlijkste vulkanen ter wereld aantreft, de Pico del Teide.
De praktijk bewijst dat de kans groot is dat in de buurt van een vulkaan ook UFO’s worden waargenomen, ze lijken er een voorkeur voor of interesse in/belang bij te hebben.
Zo werd enkele jaren geleden de volgende opname gemaakt van een zogenaamde UFO-wolk boven deze vulkaan. Een UFO of moederschip dat vermomd is als wolk en/of een dimensieportaal zoals we die de laatste tijd steeds meer meemaken.
Een tweede interessante foto die wij ontvingen is van iemand die met vakantie ging naar Spanje. Hij schrijft het volgende (dank!):
Hey ,
Ik ben vorig jaar alleen op vakantie geweest met de wagen kris kras door Spanje, heb ook wat foto's genomen op “interval”; zodat ik er ook ééns op sta hé. Nu was ik de foto's nog eens aan het bekijken én daar viel me toch wat op. Die foto is niet van in de wagen genomen maar van op een statief , en ik heb ook foto's waar insecten voorbij vliegen , maar deze !!! het lijkt groot én hoog net achter mij .
De foto is met een nikon “6 MP”; genomen . Dus de vraag ! wat denken jullie dat het zou kunnen zijn ?
Op de eerste foto zie je de man lopen en als je goed kijkt, zie je een soort cilindervormig object achter hem in de lucht.
Op de volgende foto is het vreemde object wat uitvergroot:
Het lijkt er inderdaad op dat deze vakantieganger per ongeluk een vreemd vliegend object in de vorm van een sigaar heeft vastgelegd. Het is een verschijningsvorm van UFO's die veel voorkomt, dus wat dat betreft zou het heel goed kunnen.
Uncovering the Mystery 7,000-year-old Ubaid Lizardmen
Uncovering the Mystery 7,000-year-old Ubaid Lizardmen
Just about every mythology, you’ll find something in the line that God created human beings. Creation doesn’t mean creating something from scratch – This is true for the statute discovered 7,000 years old. Al-Ubaid is Arab tribe in Iraq settled in Kirkuk. During the 18th century, the tribe has migrated from the Baghdad area to Khabour and Hawija. Contracted to protect the oil pipelines, it has faced lots of consequences. At the Al-Ubaid’s Archaeological site, researchers have found several pre-Sumerian artifacts a way back 7,000 years. These items have strange looking statutes being discovered, which happens to be a combination of lizard-like and human features combined. Unfortunately, little is known about the civilization. However, its influence may be seen in different Sumerian culture aspects. After a while, it developed into a flourishing city.
The Strange Lizard-Like and Human Features
The Mystery 7,000-year-old Ubaid Lizardmen covers the humanoid figurines at the same time a lizard-like characteristic. As for the gender, it is both male and female, and most have what appear to be helmets on their heads. As you can see, they portray humanoids with reptilian characteristics. Others are also holding sceptres or staffs, symbolizing the ruling class. The strangest figurines are said to be the female figurine holding a baby, which has a strange lizard-like feature. Furthermore, the baby has a pointy face and almond shaped eyes. When archaeologists have found out the discoveries and no reason was being given as to why Ubaid culture made these looking figurines worshiping lizard-like creatures. Later on, it was justified that the poses of figurines are holding a baby while breastfeeding does not symbolize a ritual. Therefore, the purpose remains a mystery to archaeologists.
As for the origin, it was neither an imagination nor decoration because these Lizard-like creatures have already been present in many different cultures.
The Goblin’s Grimoire: Hopkinsville Reprised, or the Hollow Earth?
The Goblin’s Grimoire: Hopkinsville Reprised, or the Hollow Earth?
The month of August 1955 was a strange one for residents around the small town of Kelly, in Christian County, Kentucky. A number of locals, as well as area law enforcement, had claimed to have been experiencing various odd things of an “alien” variety; in fact, things would end up getting so strange for one group of locals, the Sutton family of nearby Hopkinsville, that their lives would be forever changed in the aftermath.
The events that led to a terrorizing evening for the family, along with a visiting friend from out of town, were both terrifying and wholly inexplicable. Things started as Pennsylvania native Billy Ray Taylor, along with Elmer Sutton, went outside to investigate noises coming from the forest nearby on the evening of August 21st, shortly after a series of odd lights had been seen in the distance. Both men, carrying guns, claimed to have witnessed a strange nonhuman entity emerge from the trees, prompting their return to the farmhouse. Soon afterward, the Suttons and Mr. Taylor would begin an evening secured within the home, as these strange “goblins” attacked them from the outside; thus began their nightlong bout with what have forever remained known as the “Hopkinsville Goblins,” an event in American Forteana that remains one of the strangest ever recorded.
On that fateful evening in August of 1955, the badly frightened Sutton family would eventually enlist the aid of area law enforcement, who sent no less than twenty officers out to the house, expecting a confrontation with some kind of otherworldly presence. Upon arrival, while evidence of a window-rattling conflict was found a plenty, there was no sign of any of these odd, diminutive beings, variously described as humanoid, though of smaller stature, light-skinned, and sporting large ears that stood upright off the sides of their heads.
The curious story does remain among some of the more odd urban legends and unexplained encounters ever collected, prompting a number of researchers over the years to suppose that the mystery of the “Hopkinsville Goblins” might have some basis in extraterrestrial intelligence visiting from afar… though the odd manner in which these creatures behaved could hardly be described as “intelligent,” at least in the human sense. Or perhaps these strange beings were something else… inter-dimensional visitors, cryptozoological monstrosities, or just plain hallucinations the occupants of the Sutton home may have somehow suffered en masse. But could there be other explanations than these listed here, which seem almost “conventional” at least within the realms of the strange and unusual? If so, what might they entail?
A recent report that appeared at the Who Forted? website discussed a strange story that, while almost entirely too good to be true, seems somewhat reminiscent of the fabled Hopkinsville Goblin encounter. According to blogger Greg Newkirk, he received an email from a Kentucky man claiming to have made contact with strange, diminutive creatures with pale skin, large eyes, and an odd method of “chirping” for communication. The man reports that these odd entities have appeared around his home at various times throughout the last several months, and that their presence has caused great distress among he and his family members, even to the point that they’ve been forced to leave the property for fear of these strange “cave dwelling” creatures. The complete article (which includes photos of the creatures alleged footprints) can be viewed here.
Could there actually be a race of semi-subterranean humanoid creatures that exist beneath parts of Kentucky, the likes of which might have appeared long ago around the time of the infamous 1955 Hopkinsville encounter? Or if not, what else might these strange creatures be… other than an elaborate hoax, inspired by the classic story of “Hopkinsville Goblins” from so long ago?
Valentin Degterev from Russia claims to have found a UFO. He located it using Google Earth and says it is 'from the distant cosmos'. The elliptical object (shown) is 65ft (20 metres) wide and 230ft (70 metres) long. However it appears to be most likely just a shadow or a fissure
The image was revealed by self-proclaimed ‘researcher of the unknown’ Valentin Degterev from the city of Nizhny Tagil in central Russia.
The satellite image was taken back in 15 February 2012, but Mr Degterev has now published it online and it has quickly gone viral on Russian social media website VK.
‘I think there is very large disc-shaped flying machine among the frozen ice,’ he claimed.
Anyone can view the object by inputting the coordinates 80°34'08.4"S 30°05'19.3"W into Google Maps.
‘I found the unique object using the online service of Google Earth in Antarctica,’ said Mr Degterev.
‘In amongst the endless ice desert, it is the most genuine UFO in its most classic shape.’
Tellingly, the object of interest is among many other cliffs and shadows, and doesn't particularly look like anything out of this world.

The shape was found in Antarctica, shown in this image. The satellite image was actually taken back in 15 February 2012, but has Mr Degterev has only now published it online, and it has quickly gone viral on his VK page - a popular Russian social media website
Mr Degterev, however, is adamant the hole - which measures about 65ft (20 metres) wide and 230ft (70 metres) long - cannot be explained by anything from this planet.
‘I do not presume to know exactly what it is,’ he said.
But Andrew Fleming from the British Antarctic Survey, told MailOnline that the object was quite clearly simply a crevasse in the ground.
'A crevasse is a lot of ice formed by differential movement of the ice,' he said.
'They can be tens of metres deep. It's one large slot, nothing unusual, but they are spectacular. It's certainly not a UFO, though.'
He warned that crevasses can be quite dangerous and joked: 'I'd much rather come across a UFO than deal with these things!'
He added that the dark area was likely to be a shadow, while the slight blue tinge was bare ice - which is ice without snow cover.

Andrew Fleming from the British Antarctic Survey, however, told MailOnline that the object (in the middle of the image) was quite clearly a crevasse in the ground. 'A crevasse is a lot of ice formed by differential movement of the ice,' he said. The dark area is caused by a shadow, and the light blue tinge is ice without snow on top
But Mr Degterev doesn't agree. He said: ‘It is definitely not a polar station, nor a plane (as there aren't any airplanes or helicopters this big in the world).
‘There also aren't any ships lost in Antarctica.
‘It seems this is a man-made object from the distant cosmos.’
On his Live Journal page, Mr Degterev went further and said the object had a metal body and was definitely not made of rock or stone.
Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual, said: ‘It’s hard to tell if this a “classic” saucer sticking out of the ice, or whether it is a break in the ice.
‘Antarctica has a long tradition of being the resting place of crashed saucers or a base for their operations.’
MAPPING 90 YEARS OF UFO SIGHTINGS

Last week a data visualisation expert created a map of the US showing almost 90 years of official UFO sightings (above), including information such as the time of day they are typically noticed in different months.
The data also reveals that UFO sightings of fireballs are the most common, while egg-shaped craft are the rarest over time.
John Nelson combined census data with statistics compiled between 1925 and 2014 by the National UFO Reporting Centre to make his maps.
‘Of course, as is the case for any observation data, there is a strong tendency towards echoing a population map’ he wrote on his blog.
‘This is certainly the case with this sighting data, as well. In order to visualise the actual sighting phenomenon, I needed to normalise by the underlying population.’
To do this, he created a map showing sightings by population density, as well as maps based on more complex calculations to build the most accurate maps he could.

FBI: des visites par des “êtres d’autres dimensions”ont eu lieu!
FBI: des visites par des “êtres d’autres dimensions”ont eu lieu!
Publié par Le Nouveau Paradigme
Est-il surprenant que le FBI ait montré un intérêt dans l’étude des phénomènes OVNI? Est-ce qu’il est possible que beaucoup de films de science-fiction soient en réalité basés sur des événements, ou autrement dit des «fuites» données par le gouvernement afin d’augmenter délibérément la prise de conscience parmi la population?
En 2011, après que quelques documents ont été “déclassifiés”, un rapport rédigé par un agent spécial du FBI en 1947 est arrivé aux yeux du public. L’agent spécial du FBI, un lieutenant-colonel, dont l’identité est restée anonyme en raison de la «sécurité nationale» rassemblent de nombreuses données sur les phénomènes OVNI après des interviews et l’étude des phénomènes depuis des années.
Selon les rapports et les documents “déclassifiés”, nous avons été visités par de nombreuses espèces extraterrestres, certaines d’entre eux qui ne sont pas seulement d’autres planètes, mais aussi d’autres dimensions. Certains de ces êtres sont originaires d’un plan éthéré coexistant avec notre univers physique. Ces «entités», qui pourraient “se matérialiser” sur notre planète sont apparues comme des figures translucides géantes.
Voici une transcription de certains des détails les plus importants du rapport:
1. Une partie des disques transportaient des équipages, d’autres sont sous contrôle à distance
2. Leur mission est pacifique. Les visiteurs envisagent de s’installer sur ce plan
3. Ces visiteurs sont semblables aux êtres humains, mais sont de plus grandes tailles
4. (…)
5. Ils ne viennent pas d’une planète comme nous employons le terme, mais d’une planète éthérique qui interpénètre avec nous-même et ne sont pas perceptibles à nous
6. Les corps des visiteurs, et le vaisseau se matérialise automatiquement en entrant dans le taux vibratoire de notre matière dense
7. Les disques possèdent un type d’énergie rayonnante ou un rayon, qui pourront facilement désintégrer tout vaisseau attaquant. Ils rentrent dans l’éthérique à volonté, et disparaissent si simplement de notre vision, sans laisser de trace
8. La région d’où ils proviennent n’est pas le “plan astral», mais correspond aux Lokas ou Talas. Ceux qui étudient les questions ésotériques vont comprendre ces termes.
9. Ils ne peuvent pas probablement être atteints par la radio, mais peuvent probablement l’être par le radar (…)
Quelles sont vos réflexions à ce sujet? Si ces êtres ont été nous ont rendu visite durant les 50 à 60 dernières années, est-il possible que ces mêmes êtres ont visité la Terre il y a des centaines de milliers d’années? Est-il possible que ces êtres influencés la civilisation telle que nous la connaissons aujourd’hui? Et est-ce qu’il est possible qu’ils influencent toujours le chemin de la vie sur Terre?
Photos of a UFO that has crashed on the set of The X-Files mini-series have surfaced.
When the television series came to an end in 2002, it left a major plotline unresolved. Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) learned the truth about a massive alien invasion that would happen on Dec. 22, 2012.
Based on recent set photos, life in 2015 is pretty hunky-dory. There doesn't seem to be any signs of mass-colonization by aliens. That's a major issue that fans of the series hope will be addressed by Chris Carter in this mini-series. Perhaps these new images of a crashed UFO are an indication that this matter will be resolved.
Check out the photos below. Photos de la publication de Gareth M Smart
SPOILER ALERT: The truth is out there... or I should say in Ashcroft! That's a crash landed UFO set being built for the reboot of X-Files. I want to believe!

Legal implications of an encounter with extraterrestrial intelligence
Should the Allen Telescope Array or another telescope detect an alien signal—or if aliens themselves come to Earth—is the legal system prepared to respond? (credit: SETI Institute)
Legal implications of an encounter with extraterrestrial intelligence
by Babak Shakouri Hassanabadi
For decades, scientists and filmmakers alike have dedicated tremendous efforts to speculate about two main issues concerning extraterrestrial intelligent life forms. One, do they exist? Two, what would happen if they come to visit us on Earth?
This article scrutinizes the legal issues that may arise after a close contact of human civilization with intelligent extraterrestrials. This includes both legal principles upon which humans can trade and conclude contracts and treaties with friendly extraterrestrials, and also more sophisticated issues such as business and law of war with hostile extraterrestrial invaders have been put on the legal perspective.
Are intelligent extraterrestrials equal to humans in legal rights?
For centuries, humankind has considered itself as the superior form of life, and all other animals and plants as inferior ones subjected to serve their human masters. However, this black-and-white view over the supremacy of humans is changing even before any contact with extraterrestrial, technologically advanced, life forms.
Advances in social psychology and behaviorology studies of a wide range of animals have convinced many scientists that features once thought to be unique to human beings are common among other mammals, birds, and even social insects as well.
Developments with regard to assigning human-like rights for terrestrial nonhuman animals leaves no doubt for doing the same for extraterrestrial intelligent life forms.
Tool-making, logical problem solving, empathy toward others, sense of time and planning, and even sophisticated structured audio communication (language) are recognized by biologists in the behavior of apes, dolphins, elephants, crows, and ants. The legal community has responded to these new scientific understandings proportionally.
In a world first, a court in Argentina issued a historic and unprecedented ruling that favors the rights of an orangutan held in captivity. Sandra the orangutan was granted legal action so she may be transferred to a habitat in keeping with her development. Argentina’s Association of Professional Lawyers for Animal Rights filed a writ of habeas corpus, a resource to avoid arbitrary arrests, on Sandra’s behalf.
In a similar occasion, the legal rights of elephants as sentient animals are being recognized by the entertainment industry. Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus recently announced that it plan to stop using the animals by 2018. Growing public concern about how the animals are treated led to the decision. The company’s 43 elephants will live at an animal conservation center in Florida.
These developments with regard to assigning human-like rights for terrestrial nonhuman animals leaves no doubt for inferring that extraterrestrial intelligent life forms, at least in terrestrial legal systems’ point of view, will enjoy rights equal to their human counterparts.
It might be possible that extraterrestrials’ point of view towards us—humans—is very much like that of us concerning “inferior” creatures that either have no rights or, at best, a very slim spectrum of basic rights. However, for the sake of our legal discussion, it is better to limit speculation about aliens’ ideology before actually meeting them.
Friend or foe?
For the moment, let’s disregard the Fermi Paradox and assume that, one way or another, extraterrestrial intelligent life forms are able to to visit us here on Earth and, among other disciplines of human knowledge and civilization, the legal community has been assigned the task of concluding any kind of treaty or agreement with extraterrestrials.
That said, the very first question of law would be to assess whether aliens are friendly or hostile toward human civilization and earthly life form. Are they here to help us or ask for our help? Worse, are they here to conquer our planet and annex it to their intergalactic empire whose existence we were previously completely unaware?
For each of these questions, human legal systems in general— not just space law—have distinct answers and implications.
Which legal system to apply?
For selecting the most convenient legal system to deal with the aliens on Earth, a distinction should be made concerning the choice of law. Are humans randomly encountering extraterrestrials, or we are dealing with accredited political representatives of an alien civilization?
Although it seems very unlikely that technologically advanced aliens would recognize the political boundaries of our nation-states, if a spacecraft with aliens onboard landed anywhere on Earth, and they do not carry any political mission to make contact with humans, legally speaking they would be subject to the territorial jurisdiction in which they have entered unless otherwise collectively agreed upon by the international legal community.
The best approach would be to assign the aliens the same legal rights that foreign diplomats enjoy while they are on mission in foreign countries.
For example, if an extraterrestrial spacecraft enters the territory of the Republic of Ireland, the aliens on board shall be treated with the applicable laws of Ireland, including with regard to safeguarding the asylum rights that Irish law has granted for human beings from other nations. By the same analogy, if aliens land in Russia, the laws of the Russian Federation during their stay within the territory of that country in subject matters such as seeking asylum, making contracts, or any other societal or personal legal issue will be applicable.
The best approach would be to assign the aliens the same legal rights that foreign diplomats enjoy while they are on mission in foreign countries. That is, if extraterrestrials come to Earth in small or large numbers and reside temporarily or permanently, their laws and traditions among themselves should remain out of human legal intervention and judgment. An exception would exclude exercise of certain conducts or behavior that is deemed acceptable among aliens but is gravely unacceptable, harmful, or in contradiction with principle of peaceful coexistence with humans. In order to avoid any cultural misconception among alien newcomers and human host societies, awareness about the concerns and likes of both communities ought to be actively pursued. It might be very fruitful that all legal measures are communicated in advance to avoid misunderstandings that would lead to disastrous outcomes on both sides.
On the other hand, if aliens travel to Earth to conclude any kind of pact, treaty, or agreement on behalf of their civilization with human civilization in general or—very unlikely but not impossible—with single nation-states on Earth, then existing international law shall prevail. In other words, the provisions of Vienna Convention about the law of treaties along with the principles of the charter of United Nations ought to be observed by human signatories of such interplanetary legal document. Here again, the diplomatic rights of the alien negotiating team should be upheld by their human political counterparts.
Who on Earth sings interplanetary pact with extraterrestrials?
The issue of identifying the authority who can represent the human civilization as a whole in running the would-be bilateral negotiations and finalizing a binding legal document on behalf of our civilization with aliens is unclear as of yet, and nothing in international law or space law directly addresses it.
Among nongovernmental institutions, the SETI Institute has carried out a number of activities regarding the search for intelligent extraterrestrial life and, along with their search activities, they have prepared “Protocols for an ETI Signal Detection” concerning activities following the detection of extraterrestrial intelligence.
Although this protocol is not binding for governments, it urges them to join and adopt its provisions. Meanwhile, this protocol contains very insightful clues on how to react to extraterrestrial intelligent life forms, either when we discover unmistakable evidence of their existence through radio signals or if they visit us on Earth.
As with the probable duties of the governments or private entities after detection of extraterrestrial intelligent life forms, paragraph 3 of the protocol reads:
After concluding that the discovery appears to be credible evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence, and after informing other parties to this declaration, the discoverer should inform observers throughout the world through the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams of the International Astronomical Union, and should inform the Secretary General of the United Nations in accordance with Article XI of the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, Including the Moon and Other Bodies. Because of their demonstrated interest in and expertise concerning the question of the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence, the discoverer should simultaneously inform the following international institutions of the discovery and should provide them with all pertinent data and recorded information concerning the evidence: the International Telecommunication Union, the Committee on Space Research, of the International Council of Scientific Unions, the International Astronautical Federation, the International Academy of Astronautics, the International Institute of Space Law, Commission 51 of the International Astronomical Union and Commission J of the International Radio Science Union.
Referring to the role of Secretary General of the United Nations in accordance with Article XI of the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, Including the Moon and Other Bodies (better known as the Outer Space Treaty of 1967) is of immense importance for two reasons.
First, the United Nations is the sole international organization that virtually all countries are members of and expressly have recognized its central role in global governance through adopting the principles enshrined in the UN charter and additional legal documents.
For example, in its resolution 65/94 on “The United Nations in global governance,” the General Assembly recognized the need for inclusive, transparent, and effective multilateral systems to better address the urgent global challenges of today and reaffirmed the central role of the United Nations in ongoing efforts to find common solutions to such challenges.
To be certain, any negotiation with extraterrestrial intelligent life forms will be the most urgent global challenge of human history and no institution other than the United Nations (including its specialized organs) is more legitimate and accepted by consensus to take the lead in representing the human civilization.
We can conclude that from the point of view of international law that the UN Secretary General is the best candidate to sit at the negotiation table with extraterrestrial intelligent life forms if we meet them here on our planet.
In any would-be interplanetary legal or political negotiations, involvement of the UN as the leader on humanity’s side may entail the least opposition from member states, although the possibility of opposition cannot be completely ruled out based on the history of the UN in tackling global issues and crises.
Second, the Outer Space Treaty, which is regarded as the backbone of the space law, implicitly recognizes the role of the UN Secretary General as the representative of human civilization in running the talks or concluding legal documents with aliens. Article XI of the Outer Space Treaty reads:
In order to promote international co-operation in the peaceful exploration and use of outer space, States Parties to the Treaty conducting activities in outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, agree to inform the Secretary-General of the United Nations as well as the public and the international scientific community, to the greatest extent feasible and practicable, of the nature, conduct, locations and results of such activities. On receiving the said information, the Secretary-General of the United Nations should be prepared to disseminate it immediately and effectively.
If we consider contact with extraterrestrials as an activity committed by nations who are signatories to the Outer Space Treaty, then the obligation of informing the UN Secretary General for disseminating the data and adopting immediate and effective measures becomes obvious.
SETI’s post-detection protocol does contain an additional noteworthy provision that sheds more light on how a collective legal action should be taken as to contact (or deal) with extraterrestrials. Paragraph 8 of the said protocol states:
No response to a signal or other evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence should be sent until appropriate international consultations have taken place. The procedures for such consultations will be the subject of a separate agreement, declaration or arrangement.
This provision expressly prohibits countries from contacting aliens unilaterally or secretly without international consultations, which is an implicit reaffirmation of the leading role of United Nations in general and the secretary general in particular in handling the contacts.
Of these, we can conclude that from the point of view of international law that the UN Secretary General is the best candidate to sit at the negotiation table with extraterrestrial intelligent life forms if we meet them here on our planet. However, along with legal issues, there might be a tremendous amount of scientific and technical issues that require the assistance of either UN specialized organs like Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) or non-UN institutions such as the SETI Institute or universities. In either case, outsourcing any part of the negotiation will be within the discretion of the secretary general of the United Nations.
Law of war with extraterrestrials
In the event that technologically advanced aliens are hostile and come to Earth as invaders, the incurred devastation and causalities in clash of the civilizations would be unimaginable.
During any armed conflict with aliens, there is no ethical justification on humanity’s part to disregard the rights of vulnerable aliens, including prisoners of war, wounded fighters, or civilians. That is to say, the principles of the Geneva Convention and its additional protocols on the treatment of civilians, prisoners of war, and soldiers who are otherwise rendered hors de combat, or incapable of fighting, should apply for aliens equally and without discrimination as well.
What is more, conducting life threatening or physically disabling experiments to examine the biology of extraterrestrial captives ought to be banned via consecutive legislation soon after alien invasion is launched. Such attitudes discussed here conform to Kantian ethics, which argues that for an action to be permissible, it must be possible to apply it to all people without a contradiction occurring. The reason for observing moral law amidst the war with superior alien invaders could be to persuade them to act similarly with human prisoners and civilians based on the reciprocity of social behavior.
Business law
The advancement of technology is the result of societal exchanges for overcoming problems and satisfying needs. Hence the notion of exchange of commodities won’t be unfamiliar for aliens who are so ahead of humans in technology that that they may have traveled faster the speed of light to visit us.
In concluding business contracts with extraterrestrials, the scope of good faith in making a binding and enforceable promise to commit or omit any action, or provide any commodity or raw material in exchange of mutually accepted consideration, is the most important legal issue.
As discussed above, reaching some kind of mutual agreement between us and carbon-based extraterrestrial intelligent life forms shouldn’t be a hurdle. However, finding a common legal and comprehendible, and at the same time feasible, conceptual ground with silicon- or ammonia-based alien life forms would be a harder task to tackle. What may be vital for us is lethal to them and vice versa. Perhaps it become clear that what is non-hazardous for both sides is of no commercial value for either party, and doing business will thus have to become more sophisticated.
Any encounter with an extraterrestrial intelligence certainly will be a turning point for human civilization.
Therefore, finding a common commercial base for doing business with intelligent aliens seems to be more important than insisting on simple and possibly primitive legal doctrines and concepts of our civilization, all of which might be replaced by better and more practical alien legal doctrines once we hear about them. In any case, doing business and making commercial partnerships with extraterrestrial lifeforms is the best way to avoid animosity and its unwanted consequences, and this crucial task would be on insightful legal scholars first and foremost to fulfill.
Conclusion
The function of laws is defined to be the means by which proper function of social order within the course of time for any give nation or society is ensured and preserved. In the history of humankind, whenever laws became irrelevant or impractical, a wide range of changes occurred that dramatically altered the social structure of the related societies, either for sake of good or evil. Revolutions, riots, downfall of empires and civil wars all in all are direct outcomes of situations in which laws cease to be relevant to the actual lives of the citizens.
Any encounter with an extraterrestrial intelligence certainly will be a turning point for human civilization. No matter what the results of such encounter would be, the legal community, as well as scientists of various disciplines, may have a lot to learn from our cosmic neighbors for the betterment of our lives here on Earth. Learning from aliens regarding how to form a more integrated and fair society, or to avoid their destructive mistakes or misconducts, would be the most precious takeaway that legal scholars could use to tune human laws accordingly in the future.

On Tuesday, NASA revealedthe nine tools it will use on its 2020s mission to assess the conditions for life on Europa. The moon, which orbits Jupiter, is considered one of the most likely homes for alien life in our solar system, and so the NASA spacecraft will be travelling with a magnetometer - which measures the magnetic field strength - a heat detector, and an ice-penetrating radar.
The mission is one of our best hopes yet of finding some form of extra terrestrial life. Earlier this year, NASA chief scientist Ellen Stofan said that evidence of alien life is within reach. "I think we're going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth within a decade, and I think we're going to have definitive evidence within 20 to 30 years,”she saidduring a panel discussion in April.
So where are the most likely homes for our celestial neighbours? Here are the best contenders for alien life in our solar system.
Europa
Jupiter’s sixth moon, which is 485million miles from the sun and encased in a 10 mile-deep crust of ice, may not seem like the most likely place for alien life.
But beneath the icy shield is a salt water ocean that’s 62 miles deep. And where there’s water, there’s hope.
"The story of life on Earth may have begun in our oceans, and that's because — of course — if we've learned anything about life on Earth, it's that where you find the liquid water, you generally find life," saidastrobiologist Kevin Hand at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Europa’s surface temperature at the equator is around minus 160 degrees Celsius, but there are signs that volcanoes could heat the water beneath Europa’s surface, which might create vents suitable for bacterial life.
Mars
Is there - as David Bowie once ruminated - life on Mars? NASA’s curiosity rover has been exploring the planet since 2012 and has made a few surprising discoveries.
Scientists were previously aware of frozen blocks of ice and dried-up river beds on Mars, but thought the planet was too cold for liquid water. In April this year, Curiosity discovered liquid water beneath the planet’s surface, which is a key requirement for alien life. The rover has also seen surprising spikes in methane, which are a possible sign of methane-producing bacteria. We won’t find little green men on our neighbouring planet but, with any luck, we might find some Martian microbes.
Enceladus
Saturn’s sixth moon is one of the most dynamic places in the solar system. Though Enceladus is covered in a layer of ice, jets of water vapour blast out of the surface at around 400 metres per second. Some of these particles escape to form Saturn’s E-ring, while some of the water falls as “snow”. There are also gasses in the plume, including carbon monoxide, methane and water vapour.
In 2014, a10km deep salt water ocean was discovered beneath Enceladus’s icy surface. This is particularly interesting as the liquid water will have contact with the moon’s rocky core, which means that elements useful for life – such as sulphur and potassium – should be within the ocean.
The subsurface ocean on Enceladus sits on top of silicate rock, raising the possibility of complex chemical reactions that could create conditions similar to those on early Earth
"There are definitely regions on Enceladus where the conditions are such that life could exist. You have liquid water, you have chemicals and you have heat. And that is enough for life. To my mind, this is the best place we can expect to find life elsewhere in the solar system," Nikolai Brilliantov, a mathematician at Leicester University,told The Guardian.
Titan
Saturn’s largest moon is covered in seas of liquid methane, and scientists have speculatedthat Titan could be home to methane-based, oxygen-free life forms. Researchers have modelled what the cells would look like, and imagine that they’d be made from organic nitrogen compounds and capable of functioning in liquid methane temperatures of 292 degrees below zero.

Callisto
Another of Jupiter’s moons was long thought to be dead and boring, butin 1998 scientists discoveredthat Callisto may have a liquid ocean beneath its icy crust. The cratered moon, the second largest orbiting Jupiter, is a possible home to life thanks to this water. Callisto’s surface is also thought to contain organic compounds, including sulphur dioxide and ammonia, while it has a thin carbon dioxide and oxygen atmosphere.
FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder was known for his unshakable belief in the supernatural and the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life.
The character’s obsession with unexplainable phenomena was what drove him through the series. It’s the reason he was working on the X-Files to begin with. And he was even abducted by aliens himself in the season seven finale.
But David Duchovny, the actor who played him for 9 years, still remains unconvinced about the possibility of alien life.
“When you started making X-Files and there was all that zeitgeist happening, how much UFO research did you find to be actually interesting enough to believe in?” Reggie Watts asked Duchovny recently on The Late Late Show with James Corden.
“I remember I used to try to answer my fan mail because there wasn’t much of it, and they would bring it to me. There were stories that people would tell me about being abducted,” revealed Duchovny. ”They would just make me sad. I thought that these people had issues that they had to deal with.”
“So the answer is: no and never!” he concluded.
Duchovny will have to mask all those sceptical thoughts soon though, as he’s back on set filming another season of the hit sci-fi series with Gillian Anderson.
The duo are currently in Vancouver shooting the revival, which is set to air in January 2016.
Hundreds of eyewitnesses have come forward claiming to see UFOs of space origins in Illinois. The general public often greets These people with mass amounts of skepticism and distrust. The question strikes, are the sightings in Illinois for real? It seems like Illinois’ attraction remains a mystery. But if you are hesitant, try to dig through the map for answers. Out of the many places reported within Illinois, these are the four which bears a resemblance to Erowid trip reports:
Melrose Park (July 14, 2004)
The strange object was seen soaring in the sky in night-time during the party. It moved upward and a little downward lasting for three minutes with colors red, green and blue. The lights kept flickering, changing and blinking, which are unexplainable. It was believed to be a genuine extraterrestrial spacecrafts sighting as the criteria are far different from a typical airplane.
Blue Mound (September 19, 2004)
The strange spacecraft object was seen and heard during the four-wheeler ride. The appearance of the strange object is a silver cigar shaped thing with black dots. Unlike the regular plane, it was traveling fast and perfectly turned 90 degrees. When it stopped, the lights appeared blue.
Petersburg (November 28, 2009)
The strangest spaceship appeared at 10:50 p.m. in the northwest direction. At first, they noticed three brownish objects hovering in the sky, forming a triangle. At the second view, they thought the strangest objects were birds. Since they are evenly spaced, dimly lit, small, and fast, the viewers realized that the triangle object is indeed a strange UFO.
Grayslake (January 17, 2007)
The strange object was a silver saucer- disk shaped hovering into the sky. The viewer was not an alien believer. Since he is a logical person, he shared the information with the people.
Whatever the case may be, it is apparent that every year more and more sightings are being reported by different individuals.
