UFO 1979: The Herkimer Black Triangle UFO
UFO 1979: The Herkimer Black Triangle UFO
Who knew that a simple winter’s night snowmobile ride would result in the sighting of a black triangle UFO?
Triangular-shaped UFOs have been in the media over the past 20 years or so. Numerous television shows have reported cases from different parts of the U.S. and western Europe. These craft are usually about the size of a football field, being about two stories thick. They typically are reported as having three major glowing orbs on the underside. They are usually a non-reflective black in color, but they’ve also been reported as glowing in orange or yellow. The strangest element is that most reports say that they are unnervingly silent.
The CNY region is not without its reports of these triangle-shaped crafts. Among the earliest known upstate reports of a black triangle UFO was in January of 1979 in Herkimer, NY. One winter’s night, a snowmobiler who lived in the country was going to visit a friend five miles away. He stated that suddenly it became quiet. He couldn’t hear his sled’s engine and the snowmobile’s light went out. He looked up and could make out the outline of a huge black triangle blocking out the stars. It had no lights and was silent. He said it took about two minutes for it to pass over head. It was perhaps 100 feet off the ground and when it passed under the high tension wires, arcs began jumping from the power lines to the top of the craft. He watched it move away over a hill and then out of sight. When he got home, nobody believed him.
There was also a sighting a few years later in October of 1982 in Owasco, NY near Owasco Lake. In October 2010, a black triangle UFO was reported in Skaneateles that was observed by a number of people at a football game. In December 2011, near Sylvan Beach, NY, a family observed two of these crafts. Not to be left out, residents in the city of Syracuse observed several of these triangular crafts. One was seen over Hiawatha Lake moving northwest in June of 2012 in the early hours of the day. Notably, two years ago a small cluster of sightings of black triangle UFOs happened in May 2013 in the regional New York City area.
The most recent report was logged in Earlville, NY on July 15, 2013. A young woman was called outside by her excited boyfriend. She reported that he pointed up in the sky and some distance from them was a huge orange triangle. They watched it for a few minutes as it slowly moved away and disappeared.
A curious aspect regarding these black triangles is the frequency of their sightings. When I examined the sighting data for the 20 years between 1979 through 2000, there were a total of 34 sighting reports for the entire state of New York. Yet from 2001 to 2015, the number of Black Triangle sightings has more than tripled.
Russian billionaire Yuri Milner and British astrophysicist Stephen Hawking have announced a US$100 million investment in the search for extraterrestrial life, which scientists at US-based research initiative, SETI, will spend over the next 10 years expanding the scope of their hunt for signs of intelligence deep in the cosmos while NASA astronomers hunting for another Earth have found what may be the closest match yet, a potentially rocky planet circling its star at the same distance as the Earth orbits the Sun. Known as Kepler 452b, the planet which is 1,400 light-years away was detected by the Kepler Space Telescope.
It’s really outstanding work from the astronomers who have discovered the earth-like planet Kepler 452b and it’s really amazing that Russian billionaire Yuri Milner invest $100 million in the hope that that they will find signs of extraterrestrial life beyond our solar system while the aliens are just walking around here on planet Earth.
Besides, there has been already contact with extraterrestrials for many years in many different ways.
NASA with all their deep space satellites hunting for other worlds like ours, they can find earth-like planets, but they cannot find or capture UFOs or other space anomalies which show any form of intelligence life, while massive alien spacecraft appear every other day on their satellite’s photos, for example, captured by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO).
Does NASA know about these craft?
Of course they know it and of course they have thousands of photos of Unidentified Flying Objects captured by their deep space satellites but they keep it hidden for the public.
The whole story about the search for extraterrestrial life in other solar systems and NASA’s existing space programs are nothing more than expensive propaganda tools to keep the people away from the reality of the existence of their secret space projects.
They have man-made UFOs, they have a secret space fleet and they have secret Moon- and Mars bases.
From released documents from Wright Patterson we learn that they had already begun in 1956 with the placement of nuclear propulsion in dishes.
In a 1959 interview senior scientist at Lockheed, Boyd Bushman said that technical drawings show an operational flying saucer powered by a nuclear power plant.
In the same year, in 1959, they introduced the secret project Horizon to build bases on the Moon and Mars.
And about 10 years ago the Englishman Gary McKinnon managed to hack into NASA’s computers and discovered a code named “Solar Warden”.
The secret code ‘Solar Warden’ stands for a secret space fleet which consisted in 2005 of eight large interstellar space ships as large as two football fields each and 43 smaller interstellar space ships to protect the mother ships.
It is said that the Bildeberger group is the owner of the space fleet and the bases on the Moon and Mars are used and maintained by this particular space fleet.
Since 1964 there are bases on Mars and is the result of a Russian and American cooperation working closely with the Bilderberger group.
In addition, according to the testimony of Captain Kaye, there is a colony of human population on Mars and they are located inside a crater. This group serves as the headquarters for the Mars Colony Corporation.
According to Captain Kaye, it is possible to simply breathe on Mars and the temperature is sometimes referred to as hot.
One of the tasks of the secret space fleet is to supply the existing multinational colony on Mars.
The elite is well aware of the fact that for various reasons the earth, perhaps temporarily, is a place where you better not linger. All forecasts point towards a turbulent time for the earth.
Financial / economic systems will collapse and the threat of a nuclear conflict. On top of that the effects of the coming passage of the planet Nibiru aka Planet X.
While the elite have their secret space fleet, which they want to use to save themselves, people are led to believe the stories that they found earth-like planets and that they are searching for extraterrestrial life in a distant solar system. Thanks Niburu.co
Ruimtevaart De Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA heeft vandaag nieuwe foto's van Pluto verspreid. De foto is samengesteld uit vier verschillende beelden die ruimtesonde New Horizons van de dwergplaneet maakte en toont Pluto in ongezien detail.
De nieuwe foto van Pluto is de meest gedetailleerde tot nog toe. Ze werd samengesteld uit vier close-ups die ruimtesonde Hew Horizons van de dwergplaneet maakte en ingekleurd voor meer detail. Het resultaat is een haarscherpe foto die objecten tot een grootte van 2,2 kilometer op het oppervlak weergeeft. De beelden werden gemaakt vanop een afstand van 450.000 kilometer.

Mysterie wordt groter: "Man met 1200 wapens was buitenaardse hybride die als geheim agent werkte"
Mysterie wordt groter: “Man met 1200 wapens was buitenaardse hybride die als geheim agent werkte”
Het mysterie rond Jeffrey Alan Lash, de wapenfanaat uit Los Angeles die afgelopen week dood werd aangetroffen in zijn auto, wordt groter. De familie van zijn verloofde zegt dat hij deels buitenaards was en in het geheim voor de overheid werkte.
De politie trof meer dan 1200 wapens en bijna zeven ton munitie, bogen, pijlen, messen en 230.000 dollar aan in zijn woning. Er stonden 14 voertuigen op zijn naam, waaronder een Toyota die was ontworpen om onder water te rijden.
Zijn verloofde Catherine Nebron zei dat Lash als undercoveragent werkte voor een aantal overheidsagentschappen, zo maakte haar advocaat bekend. “Het klinkt allemaal te gek om waar te zijn, maar hoe kun je dit anders verklaren?” vroeg hij. “Er is geen bewijs dat hij een drugsdealer was of dat hij deze wapens heeft gestolen.”
Wereld redden
Lash zou een alien zijn ‘die naar de aarde was gestuurd om ons te helpen’, aldus Laura VadBunker, de moeder van de 39-jarige Dawn VadBunker, die voor Nebron werkte. “Ik kan dit niet geloven,” zei VadBunker. “Hij was half alien, half mens en probeerde de wereld te redden.”
De autoriteiten onderzoeken ondertussen hoe het kan dat de man zoveel auto’s en vuurwapens in zijn bezit had, waarvan vele nog in de doos zaten en voorzien waren van het prijskaartje. De man was al twee weken dood voordat hij op 17 juli door de politie werd gevonden.
De man zou ademhalingsproblemen hebben gehad, maar weigerde naar een ziekenhuis te gaan of 911 te bellen. Nebron zou zijn stoffelijk overschot hebben achtergelaten in een auto bij het huis dat ze samen deelden. Daarna reisde ze naar Oregon omdat ze dacht dat zijn voormalige werkgever mensen zou sturen om zijn lichaam en bezittingen op te halen. Vond je dit artikel interessant om te lezen?

Amazing UFO activity over Tucson, Arizona 4-Jul-2015
Amazing UFO activity over Tucson, Arizona 4-Jul-2015
Check out this video of a bright lights hovering in the night sky above Sabino Canyon in Tucson, Arizona. This was taken on 4th July 2015.
Witness report:The very first couple of seconds shows some odd lights in the right of the frame. Those are the radio towers on the mountain out of focus thus making them look odd. There were a few cars coming and and going out of the parking lot and they account for some of the light shifts. Unfortunately I zoomed in too much and it destroyed the clarity of the video but it still captures the amazing event that we witnessed. There are a couple of times I adjust the focus and it makes the 3 lights of the UFO seem to morph but that is only, again, me focusing. The main 3 lights stayed distinct in the sky and only look like they become one light and then back to 3 because of my tinkering.
Al de hele dag keken we uit naar het grote nieuws dat NASA vandaag ging melden, iets waar mensen al duizenden jaren op wachten. Neen, ze hebben (nog) geen aliens ontdekt, maar wel een nieuwe planeet gevonden die heel erg op onze Aarde lijkt. De planeet is veel groter, maar draait op ongeveer dezelfde afstand als de Aarde rond een qua omvang gelijkaardige zon.
"Het is een echt privilege om jullie dit nieuws vandaag te mogen brengen", zei John Jenkins, analist van Kepler op een persconferentie. "There's a new kid on the block that's just moved in next door." De Kepler-telescoop van NASA heeft een hele wereld ontdekt die veel gelijkenissen met die van ons vertoont. De planeet heet momenteel nog Kepler-452b en draait op ongeveer dezelfde afstand rond de zon als onze Aarde. Bovendien is die zon ook even groot en schijnt ze even fel, al is de ster wel een pak ouder dan die van ons. Die werelden trekken altijd de aandacht van wetenschappers omdat ze precies warm en koel genoeg kunnen zijn om vloeibaar water en bijgevolg leven mogelijk te maken.
Oudere zon
Vorig jaar ontdekte NASA met Kepler-186f al een planeet die op de Aarde lijkt, maar is deze nieuwe ontdekking dan nog indrukwekkender? Het is maar hoe je het bekijkt, Kepler-186f is een heel kleine planeet die rond een rode dwerg draait, en die dus veel koeler is dan onze zon. Kepler-452b draait echter rond een zon die we wel met de onze kunnen vergelijken. Toch zijn er nog verschillen: de zon is 4 procent groter en 10 procent helderder. Maar de afstand tussen zon en planeet is ongeveer even groot als hier.
We weten nog niet veel over de planeet zelf. Zo kunnen we nog niet vaststellen hoe groot Kepler-452b is. Mogelijk zou de planeet liefst vijf keer groter dan de Aarde kunnen zijn. Als er gesteente wordt ontdekt, kan de planeet nog steeds vulkanisch actief zijn en dan kan de zwaartekracht wel het dubbele van hier zijn.
NASA heeft opnieuw een hoop ontdekkingen gedaan: ongeveer 500 nieuwe mogelijke planeten die rond een ster draaien. Twaalf daarvan zijn minder dan twee keer zo groot als de Aarde en bevinden zich in een zone die bewoonbaar zou kunnen zijn. Kepler-452b is de eerste van die ontdekkingen die we vanaf nu een planeet mogen noemen. "Ik geloof dat de eigenschappen van Kepler-452b het meest op die van de Aarde lijken tot nu toe", zei Dr. Suzanne Aigrain.
Komen we te laat?
Toch zijn er nog significante verschillen. De ster van Kepler-452b is 1,5 miljard jaar ouder dan onze zon. En voor we gaan dromen dat we allemaal ooit op deze planeet kunnen gaan wonen: het zou best wel eens kunnen dat we in Kepler-452b vooral gaan observeren wat over meer dan een miljard jaar ook met onze Aarde zal gebeuren. Als het om een rotsachtige planeet gaat, begint Kepler-452b mogelijk aan een fase waarbij broeikasgassen ontsnappen. De toenemende energie van de zon doet het oppervlak dan opwarmen en de oceanen beginnen te verdampen. En dat verdampte water is voor altijd verloren.
Aarde 2.0 is dus misschien niet helemaal een kopie van de onze. Wetenschappers waarschu }wen dat Kepler-452b evengoed een gasplaneet kan zijn of misschien bestaat de planeet uit iets dat we nog niet kennen. Dus andere ontdekte planeten kunnen uiteindelijk beter geschikt blijken dan deze, Kepler heeft er de voorbije jaren al een pak ontdekt. Gezien de radius van de planeet noemen wetenschappers het een soort superaarde. Dat soort planeten kennen we in ons zonnestelsel niet.
Monstrous Controversy Rages Over Loch Ness UFO Photos
Monstrous Controversy Rages Over Loch Ness UFO Photos
Has the mystery finally been solved? What's a sea monster to do?
Caters News
A family vacationing in the Scottish Highlands overlooking Loch Ness, the famous home of an alleged prehistoric animal (or animals), recently produced a photograph that showed something unusual-looking above the water (see above image).
In our first story about this, we introduced Alan and Anna Betts, who didn't know they had the image until they returned to their UK home and were looking through their vacation pictures. One shot, taken by Anna's mother, revealed that pair of disc-shaped objects.
The Betts maintained the picture was taken outdoors and there were no lights on in the house at the time.
Enter Mick West, creator of the Metabunk.org site, who offered an analysis of the Betts' photo, claiming that the UFO image had been taken from indoors, and the resulting picture was nothing more than a dual reflection of a room lamp and also a reflective window curtain.
Then, in our previous story update, we suggested the only way to truly solve the mystery of how and where the original photo was taken would be for someone to go back to that Loch Ness holiday cottage and take new pictures to try and recreate the UFO event.
West contacted the owner of the Bunloit Farmhouse -- the cottage at the center of the controversy -- and asked her to take some up to date pictures from indoors, looking out at Loch Ness. The following image is one of those new shots.
Bunloit Farmhouse
"I asked her to take a picture from the same position pointing in the same direction," West told The Huffington Post. "In the original photo, you can see the direction they're looking in, toward the loch. And I asked her to try to get some reflection of the light and to take a video, if possible, so you could see the relative position of things."
West acknowledges that the cottage owner (who wishes to remain anonymous) actually moved the lamp closer to the window, which makes it appear larger than the original "UFO" image that started this all.
"It isn't a 100 percent recreation, but you can tell by the comparison that obviously, that's what the original was -- the same shape and color and everything. It's just bigger in the recreation," West said.
In the image below, at left is a close-up of the original photo taken by the Betts family. At right is one of the more recent pictures, which seems to show a reflected lamp.
Left: Caters News / Right: Bunloit Farmhouse
So, who's right and who's wrong? The Betts say the picture was taken outdoors, and West claims the photos prove otherwise.
Has this UFO mystery been solved to everyone's satisfaction? To YOUR satisfaction?
On April 24, 1964, an American Police officer named Lonnie Zamora spotted a strange object streak through the sky over a highway outside of Socorro, New Mexico. The object was between a half a mile to a mile away, shooting off towards the southwest. It left a trail of bluish orange flames, and made a roaring noise as it passed overhead. Curious as to what it was, officer Zamora followed the object over a steep hill, catching up with it as it lay rested on the summit. What Zamora saw then has never been adequately explained.
Sunset is the most common time of the day that people report UFO sightings. In this sighting the camera caught it, because its digital eye is more perfect than our human eye. During sunset, UFOs cloaks are most vulnerable, due to the position of the sun. This cloak photo show the rays bending around the UFO, but the sunlight comes from the right, not above. This causes the UFO to be visible. SCW
News states: A holiday snap has been hailed the “best UFO picture that’s ever been taken”. The photograph of a Norfolk sunset was taken by a Haverhill man to use as his screensaver to remind him of his holiday – but his cousin believes he has captured a UFO, possibly carrying intelligent life, and the worm hole from where it came from. The images were released by the cousin Andrew Leach after reading about the £64 million project, backed by Cambridge physicist Prof Stephen Hawking, to search for intelligent life in yesterday’s News. Two pictures were taken at Hemsby in Norfolk shortly after 9pm during the summer solstice on June 21.
The photographer, who did not want to be named, said: “I have no idea if it’s a UFO or not but I’d like it to be analysed. I wouldn’t like to say either way but it’s certainly got me thinking.” Andrew, from Burwell, believes the picture shows a UFO in front of the sunset with the worm hole it emerged from in the top left of the image. The 46-year-old said: “He was only trying to get a picture of a sunset to use as a screensaver and he got the best UFO picture that’s ever been taken.” (More at source.)
Date of sighting: July 17, 2015 Location of sighting: Tijuana, Mexico
Something that most people will miss about this UFO sighting that proves its real. Many UFO reports of eyewitnesses who saw them close up and even landing or taking off in front of them say that they saw tiny orbs flying all around the UFO. These orbs are from marble size to baseball size. They are drones. They are part of the ship that guide and protect it…think the ultimate radar defense system. We see these orbs if you stop the video. Look at them, they move incredibly fast and change postings in a geometric pattern.
There is not a lot of info to go along with this sightings, but many people may believe that only LED lights on kites look this way. That is a big mistake. Many UFO have lights like these and sometimes the UFOs are so colorful, its like looking at a rainbow. This object is very beautiful for sure and Mexico, as you already know, is home of many alien bases. SCW
The above and below screenshots have been focused by me, SCW. I did my best to add contrast, without losing detail so we can see it more clearly. From my June 11, 2015 post.
News states: Russell and his team have now spotted signs of an occasional haze above the crater housing the bright spots. The haze, Russell told Nature, “could be providing some atmosphere in this particular region of Ceres.” The haze isn’t present everywhere they’ve seen bright spots, but it does seem to appear periodically over the large crater where bright spots were first seen. It could be that the haze is formed by sublimating ice, which would suggest that the bright spots are indeed frozen water. Sometime next month, Dawn will move into a closer orbit around Ceres — just about 900 miles over the surface. Hopefully that closer orbit will allow the team to collect better images and spectral data, solving the mystery once and for all.
What I like most about this is that she used an old fashioned camera with film. This shows me that she saw it for a long period of time, enough to get the camera ready. Also it shows that it was not digitally manipulated. Her age also has a higher credibility rating, because older people are not trying to impress anyone. Very cool sighting. SCW
News States: A GRANDMOTHER who believes “something else is out there” wants UFO hunters to help work out what the flying object is she captured on camera. Sandra Stuteley, 68, captured the mysterious flying object while she was out walking in Peterborough, Cambs. The wildlife photographer took the snaps when she heard a loud screeching sound and thought it was a bird. Grandmother-of-three Sandra said: “I heard this really high-pitched sound so I quickly got my camera out and took a couple of pictures. “I looked at them and they looked a bit out of focus so I didn’t really think anything of it. “It was only when I got home that I looked at it and saw the flying object. “I spoke to a friend in the RAF and they said it definitely wasn’t a plane. “I do believe that there is something else out there but I really have no idea what this could be.” Sandra spotted the UFO at 11.48am on April 21, but has only just gone public. She has asked friends and family what they think the object is, but so far none have had much of a clue.
Astronaut Gordon Cooper Witnessed a UFO Landing in 1957
“I had a camera crew filming the installation when they spotted a saucer. They filmed it as it flew overhead, then hovered, extended three legs as landing gear, and slowly came down to land on a dry lake bed!. It was a classic saucer, shiny silver and smooth, about 30 feet across. It was pretty clear it was an alien craft.”
The event Cooper describes happened in 1957. At that time, he was one of the best test pilots at the Edwards Air Force Base in California. He also managed several other projects belonging to the Experimental Flight Test School at Edwards and his credibility has never been called into question.
On May 3 of that year, he had his crew of engineers setting up an advanced photographic system that took one frame per second pictures of aircraft landing. The location of the system was a dry lake bed and the weather was clear. The engineers had begun work early in the morning and were equipped with both still and motion picture cameras, in order to provide additional footage.
A little over 10 a.m., crew members James Bittick and Jack Gettys returned to Cooper saying they had witnessed a “strange-looking, saucer-like” craft that was dead silent during both landing and take-off. This aspect worried him, as there was no known, man-made aircraft capable of such a feat. He also knew and trusted his crew and they were all experienced cameramen and wouldn’t have been easily mistaken.
They would see experimental aircraft on a daily basis and were familiar with their landing procedures. However, Cooper recalled that this experience was out of the ordinary and had visibly shaken the men. They explained how the saucer hovered over their position, then extended its landing gear and landed not 50 feet away from them. Luckily, they never forgot they had cameras on hand and shot multiple photos and video footage. Once the men tried to approach the UFO, it rapidly took off without making a sound
Cooper decided to follow protocol and called a special Pentagon service to report the incident. He was instructed by a general to have the film developed and immediately send it via military courier. The high-ranking official specifically asked Cooper not to make any prints of the film. He did not, however, say anything about looking at the photo negatives.
He didn’t say anything about me not looking at the film. That’s what I did when it came back from the lab and it was all there just like the camera crew reported,” Cooper said.
The photos were of excellent quality, as one would have expected of a team specifically trained in aircraft photography. Unfortunately, Cooper never got a chance to see the film reel before it was sent to the Pentagon. During the following weeks, he expected to be contacted as part of an investigation of the event. After all, an aircraft of unknown origins had landed in one of the United States’ most classified military base. But it never happened, and, despite his best efforts, Cooper was unable to track down the photos.
His assumption was that the photographic evidence ended up being sequestered by Project Blue Book, the Air Force’s official UFO investigation at Wright-Patterson AFB. He was convinced that “Blue Book was strictly a cover-up anyway.”
Right up until his death, the former astronaut maintained his beliefs and claims. In his memoirs, he wrote about the other unexplained aircraft he had witnessed throughout his career and also mentioned the existence of hundreds of similar reports.
I had a good friend at Roswell, a fellow officer. He had to be careful about what he said. But it sure wasn’t a weather balloon, like the Air Force cover story. He made it clear to me what crashed was a craft of alien origin, and members of the crew were recovered.”
But the U.S. government was actively involved in sweeping the evidence under the rug. When asked what he thought about this tendency, Cooper responded:
It started in World War 2, when the government didn’t want people to know about UFO reports in case they panicked. They would have been fearful it was superior enemy technology that we had no defense against.
Then it got worse in the Cold War for the same reason. So they told one untruth, they had to tell another to cover that one, then another, then another… it just snowballed.
And right now I’m convinced a lot of very embarrassed government officials are sitting there in Washington trying to figure a way to bring the truth out. They know it’s got to come out one day, and I’m sure it will.
In 1973, the crew of an Army Helicopter encountered a UFO and subsequently won $5,000 for “the most scientifically valuable report of the year.”
Such a large number of sightings took place in October 1973 that the period is often referred to as the Great UFO Wave. It’s fortunate that one of them was witnessed by a crew of credible witnesses.
On October 18, at approximately 10:30 p.m., an Army Reserve Bell UH-1 (Huey) helicopter took off from Port Columbus, Ohio. It was headed for Cleveland Hopkins Airport, about 100 miles to the north. Its crew consisted of four men: Captain Lawrence J. Coyne, First Lieutenant Arrigo Jezzi, Sergeant John Healey and Sergeant Robert Yanacsek.
The helicopter climbed to an altitude of 2,500 feet and was cruising at a speed of 90 knots. Atmospheric conditions were ideal and a clear sky allowed for optimum visibility.
As they got closer to their destination, Sgt. Healey noticed a red light to their west, flying the opposite way. Two minutes later, he saw a similar light, this time far in the south-east horizon. He got the chance to observe it for a while but, like the other crew members, Healey thought it was nothing more than distant air traffic.
About half a minute later, Yanacsek spotted the mysterious light had changed course and was now heading towards the helicopter. Captain Coyne took over the Huey’s controls and began a rapid descent. He also contacted the nearby Mansfield control tower, as he was unable to establish radio communications with the unknown aircraft. Unfortunately, radio contact with the tower soon failed and could not be established again.
In the meantime, the red light had increased in intensity and was still heading on a collision course. Coyne therefore increased the helicopter’s rate of descent and airspeed.
At 1,700 feet I braced myself for the impact with the other craft,” Coyne told United Press International reporters. “It was coming from our right side. I was scared. There had been so little time to respond. The thing was terrifically fast.”
The crash seemed imminent when the object simply stopped and assumed a hovering position above and in front of the Huey. It was close enough for the airmen to distinguish some of its features.
The object was a metallic gray cigar-shaped craft, with “a suggestion of windows ” on the top and red light emanating from its bow. Another white light appeared on its rear side and a green “pyramid shaped” followed it. The airmen said the green beam behaved like a directional spotlight.
We looked up and saw it stopped right over us,” Coyne said. “It had a big, gray metallic-looking hull about 60 feet long. It was shaped like an airfoil or a streamlined fat cigar. There was a red light on the front. The leading edge glowed red a short distance back from the nose. There was a center dome. A green light at the rear reflected on the hull.”
The green beam of light passed over the helicopter canopy, bathing the cockpit in an eerie green light. The airmen were bewildered as their helicopter began climbing by itself. The tractor beam was in control.
I had made no attempt to pull up. All controls were set for a 20-degree dive. Yet we had climbed from 1,700 to 3,500 feet with no power in a couple of seconds with no g-forces or other noticeable strains.”
After about ten seconds, the UFO suddenly switched off the green beam and began accelerating to the west. In a few minutes, it had disappeared over the horizon. Lieutenant Jezzi approximated its speed at more than 500 knots (570 mph).
Despite traveling that fast, it made no sound at all, and produced no air turbulence. These aspects suggest it was equipped with something other than conventional propulsion systems. Its ability to pull the Huey into a rapid ascension demonstrates the effective use of antigravity.
After the unidentified object lost interest, Captain Coyne and his crew became aware of their altitude and managed to safely descend to 2,500 feet. Radio contact with Akron-Canton Airport and the rest of their flight was uneventful.
Their UFO encounter would become one of the most well-documented cases and one of the most reliable sightings. When questioned, the four men gave similar descriptions of the event and provided similar sketches. As further confirmation of the incident, ground witnesses reported seeing a mysterious light in the sky.
More than forty years later, this UFO encounter is still fascinating and still unexplained.

“Somewhere in the cosmos, perhaps, intelligent life may be watching these lights of ours, aware of what they mean,” Stephen Hawking said at Monday’s Breakthrough Initiative’s press conference, which was held to announce a $100 million venture geared toward finding extraterrestrial life, the most ambitious search of its kind to date. Over the course of the next 10 years, the project will use the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia — and the CSIRO Parkes Radio Telescope in New South Wales, Australia — to survey the closest one million stars; the scope is 10 times larger than any previous project.
All the data from the two telescopes will be available to the public and hopefully will lead to further analysis and ventures into space exploration, but the main goal here is finding life outside of our own. NASA recently predicted that we’ll find extraterrestrial life within the next decade, and this project is likely one of the foremost studies into finding creatures in space.
“This new project is a much bigger, much more grand attempt at this where a far, vastly large number of stars are going to be looked at and in much more depth to try to see if any signs of life can be found,” the Green Bank Telescope’s site director, Dr. Karen O’Neil, told Uproxx in an interview. “As far as I know, this will be by far the deepest and most expensive search ever made for extraterrestrial life.”
How Close Have We Come Before?
We’ve actually been close to finding life outside of our planet before. In 1976, NASA Viking Landers analyzed the soil on the surface of Mars. The mission was initially thought to have found no evidence of life, but that’s been disputed in the years since. Some traces of chlorohydrocarbon — an organic compound — were found in the soil samples taken from the planet, but they were dismissed as contaminants. What wasn’t known to the scientists studying the samples at the time was the strong presence of perchlorate, a martian salt; perchlorates have oxidizing properties, and they were not detected in the Viking mission.
In 2008, the Phoenix lander discovered perchlorates in the Martian soil, and in light of the discovery, scientists combined soil containing organic material from the Atacama Desert in Chile — known as the closest thing to Mars we have on Earth — with perchlorate and heated the sample. What resulted were the same kind of chlorohydrocarbons found on Mars in 1976. The study confirmed the building blocks of life were present, but it did not prove that life can or has prospered on the planet.
In 1996, David McKay — a lead researcher for NASA — published a paper in the Science journal claiming that evidence pointing to fossilized microbial life was found in a Mars meteorite that was discovered in Antarctica 10 years earlier. At the time, the finding was significant enough to warrant then-President Bill Clinton to issue a statement about it. Since then, the findings have been put into question by other studies and the result is the same: We still have yet to find “hard” evidence.
Finding E.T.
One for the keys to this new study in finding life outside of our own is the GBT (Green Bank Telescope).
“Because of the design of the telescope, it can see 85 percent of the celestial sphere, so it can see the majority of the sky and that’s unusual For a very large dish,” Dr. O’Neil said. “On top of that, the GBT has a very wide frequency range so the GBT can observe from about .02 up to about 115 GHz, so that allows the organization to have the broadest possible spectrum across the radio wave lengths to do their search.”
The Breakthrough Initiatives isn’t the only project attempting to find extraterrestrial life. There’s NASA’s NExSS program, which is an amalgamation of four research communities hellbent on studying the nearest exoplanets (planets that orbit a star like ours). The program will receive help from the James Webb Space Telescope (due for launch in 2018), the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (due for launch in 2017), and the Wide-field Infrared Survey Telescope which will launch sometime in the 2020s. Furthermore, there will be another Mars rover mission in 2020, as well as a mission to one of Jupiter’s moons — which contains ice — in 2022. All these mission have a primary purpose of finding life out there in the cosmos. For now, though, the Breakthrough Initiatives project may be our greatest hope in making contact with extraterrestrials.
“The plan is for 10 years,” Dr. O’Neil said, “but if any true signal is found, I suspect the search will stop at that point and focus instead on the strategy on decoding that signal and understanding it.”
So, what exactly is the GBT looking for?
“Anything that can’t be readily explained in nature, and that’s where it’s both exciting and also quite difficult to do,” Dr. O’Neil said. “So, first, you have to take your signals, receive them, and then you have to separate any Earth-made, Earth-based, and man-made signals out of this. And even though we’re still in the radio quiet zone, there’s still plenty of signals you might see from satellites over head, from man-made objects on the ground. So, first, you have to remove those signals. And then, you’ll have plenty of wonderfully exciting astronomical signals, signals that are coming from natural objects, whether its stars or collections of stars, galaxies, gases out in the space, things like that.” She added, “Basically, you have to eliminate those things, and then you’ll be looking for signals that seem to have some sort of clear pattern to them. If you can’t explain it through human interference, if you can’t explain it through a natural phenomenon, then what’s left over is something that’s going to be quite exciting to this project.”
Let’s say we do see some sort of astronomical pattern that we can’t quite explain. What then? Do a team of scientists and researchers scatter to an underground bunker and debate the seriousness of these findings? Are we notified immediately of the discovery?
“I wouldn’t be surprised if there were procedures that existed,” Dr. O’Neil said, “but I do know that, within the astronomical community, that the first thing that would happen is that numerous telescopes around the world would be turned to this signal that we’re finding to confirm that it’s not a man-made signal. Astronomers would announce this quite quickly; there’s a number of different networks where astronomers can pass information about new discoveries, and then people would start analyzing it. And, to be honest, if a new signal was announced, if signs of extraterrestrial intelligence were announced, the first thing the astronomy and the scientific community would do is look at the data numerous times to make sure there’s not somehow another explanation for it. The fact of this would be quite readily known to the media and everyone else out there. If we’re able to confirm it, I don’t know what the exact steps would be, but certainly one of the next things to do would be to sit down with some of the best scientists we have around the world to see if we can decode the signal, see if we can understand it in any way.”
Should we fear the unknown?
Finding alien lifeforms outside of our own definitely sounds exciting, but are we prepared for the existence of unknown entities in the universe? Dr. O’Neil thinks that the media and the public should be ecstatic at a new discovery.
“I hope they would be thrilled,” she said. “I hope they would be incredibly excited about it. The chance of finding life is small, but it would be incredibly exciting to know that not only is there life out in the universe, but that there’s intelligent life out in the universe. That would be amazing to think about, amazing to start imagining, and to try and learn more from decoding the signals being sent out. You have to remember, too, that any type of signal we see is going to come from something that’s hundreds to thousands of light years away, so this isn’t a civilization that we can just pack our bag and go visit them, or vice versa, they’re not going to pack their bag and visit us. So, instead, it’s going to be a very slow process of learning about them and trying to find out what’s going on and a lot would really depend on the type of signal we receive and the type of information in it. But it would be — I hope — very exciting for everybody.”
Well, let’s say that we do find a signal out there that denotes an intelligent being that we’re not accustomed to. Do we make contact? Are there any dangers in creating a communication pipeline to some sort of entity that we have no knowledge of?
“I’ve certainly heard a few people say that there might be (dangers), because of concerns of them knowing physics that we’re not aware of. But, to be honest, I’ve got pretty good faith in fundamental physics and in our understanding of the universe and knowing that, I simply think it would be very exciting. The chance of us contacting a civilization, learning about them. Remember, this project is passive, so we’re not reaching out to talk to them. If we received a signal and we chose to respond, I would hope that we had some of our best minds, and any communication is going to be incredibly slow: Hundreds, if not thousands of years between us sending something to them and receiving any sort of reply.”
The Green Bank Telescope and the Parkes Radio Telescope in Australia are currently figuring out a gameplay for which site is to search which part of the cosmos, with the GBT looking over a larger field of stars in the project. What will they find? Your guess is s good as any. But, if it’s out there in the closest million stars, chances are that we’ll be confronting a new civilization or lifeform within the next 10 years. Will it be slim, green men? Small bacteria growing on the surface of a moon? We’ll just have to wait and see.
