Very Close Alien Craft Encounter In Madison New Jersey

(Before It's News)

 VERY CLOSE ALIEN CRAFT ENCOUNTER IN MADISON NEW JERSEY 8-20-83 MADISON NEW JERSEY 

It happened in the summer, in the town of Madison NJ, the town in which I lived at the time. I was 17-18 years old. I and a friend were waiting in my car for another friend to come out of his house so we could start the evening. Just driving around town and stuff (we were teenagers). We were parked on the side of the road facing east, in front of a small field next to the towns YMCA. The street is shaped like an ell making a 90 deg turn 500 to 1000 ft ahead of us. From where we were parked you could see thru the backyards through the ell shape to the road farther up at a 45 degree angle. As we were talking, I was parked on the wrong side of the road, so I could see through the yards, and I saw what appeared to be a cars headlights pulling into a driveway of a house and the lights were reflecting off the windows. But something seemed strange about it, and as we talked I noticed my friend glancing in the same direction taking double takes or looks, and I could  tell he thought something was off too.

Finally I said, do you see that? And he said yea, what is that? Then I said, isn’t that that the second floor? By that time I had realized the reflection of the lights, which were unusually bright were reflecting directly off the houses 2nd floor windows. By that time my interest had peaked and I started the car and raced up the street turned right at the ell and preceded to the house were we saw the lights. At that point the object or craft was hovering above the house. I pulled up in front and I saw a large craft, about the size of a large house, just hovering. It was completely silent. It had four or more lights evenly spaced around the bottom. I was really excited and really scared at the same time. I wasn’t sure what to do. I wanted to get out of the car but was too scared. I was very close, about 100 ft give or take a few feet, away. Even though I had a clear line of sight the craft was very difficult to see. I could see the lights on the bottom and could only make out the shape by the amount of sky it blacked out. I feel like I saw more, being I was so close but its really fuzzy in my mind for some reason. This has always bothered me because it seemed to get fuzzy right after the event. I know this is something I would never forget. I had better than average eyesight at the time.

Anyway the craft started move up the street just above the houses and treetops. I chased it in my car and then it stopped. At that point it was farther away from me so I got out of my car to get a better view. As soon as I got out, I was just in time to see it shoot straight up at an incredible rate of speed. I followed it with my eyes till it appeared to look like a small star in the sky and then it shot off to the north in a right angle and disappeared making no sound at all during the whole time I witnessed the event. I thought it was very strange it made no sound at all, no engine sound or movement of air.I was so excited I couldn’t wait to tell people about what we saw. My friend was too, but he didn’t see as much as I did because he stayed in the car. Some people were very receptive about our story, most weren’t. I soon learned not to talk about it because of looks I would get from people. I could see it in their eyes. I only discuss the incident now with close friends and my kids, or people I deem open minded to such a thing. I have an intense interest in cars, aircraft, motorcycles, boats, ships, computers or anything mechanical. I have taken flying lessons and have flown several different types of airplanes. I have a very good working knowledge of aircraft and there flight characteristics. This was not any type of aircraft I have ever seen in my life and I am 50 years old.

I have studied all aircraft types, just because I am very interested in them. Have been to countless air shows. This thing was not from here! It did not behave like any known air craft I have ever seen. The way it accelerated and turned would have killed anyone on board. This was a life changing event for me. Thirty two years later I still think about it almost every day. Occasionally I will run into my friend who was in the car that knight and will ask him about what his thoughts were about that night and he acts very weird. Doesn’t say much. That’s out of character for him. Just another puzzling detail about this whole experience.

Onderwater ‘Stonehenge': Mysterieuze 10.000 jaar oude monoliet gevonden voor de kust van Sicilië

Voor de kust van Sicilië is een mysterieuze Stonehenge-achtige monoliet ontdekt. De drie meter hoge steen geeft inzicht in oude beschavingen die zijn verzwolgen door de golven.

De monoliet, die is ontdekt door wetenschappers van de Universiteit van Tel Aviv, bevat drie gaten met ongeveer dezelfde diameter. De onderzoekers denken dat het object 10.000 jaar geleden is gemaakt door mensen.

Atlantis

“Er zijn geen natuurlijke processen bekend die deze elementen kunnen produceren,” schreef Zvi Ben-Avraham van de Universiteit van Tel Aviv. De monoliet is gevonden op 40 meter diepte op een zandplaat die Pantelleria Vecchia wordt genoemd. Het gebied werd gekoloniseerd door een oude beschaving, die 9500 jaar geleden werd opgeslokt door de golven.

Volgens sommigen zijn er veel overeenkomsten tussen de verhalen van filosoof Plato over het legendarische ‘verloren’ eiland Atlantis en Sicilië.

Vuurtoren

“Het Kanaal van Sicilië is één van de gebieden waar de gevolgen van de veranderende zeespiegel het meest dramatisch en intens waren,” schrijven de onderzoekers. “Deze ontdekking laat zien dat de mesolithische bewoners van het gebied rond het Kanaal van Sicilië een hoge mate van technologische innovatie en ontwikkeling hadden bereikt.”

De onderzoekers denken dat de monoliet onderdeel is geweest van een soort vuurtoren of werd gebruikt om iets te verankeren. Het onderzoek is verschenen in het Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports. Vind je dit een interessante ontdekking? Denk er dan aan het artikel te delen op Facebook.

‘UFO’ gezien bij ruimtestation ISS: Worden astronauten in de gaten gehouden door aliens?

Op internet is een filmpje verschenen waarin wordt geclaimd dat er een UFO bij het internationale ruimtestation ISS is gezien. De waarnemingen wijzen er volgens sommigen op dat astronauten aan boord van het ruimtestation ‘in de gaten worden gehouden door aliens’.

De nieuwste video bevat NASA-beelden die zijn gemaakt door één van de camera’s van het ISS. Het object, dat een lichte kleur en een roze staart heeft, komt korte tijd in beeld. De Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie voedt complottheorieën door te weigeren een verklaring te geven voor de herkomst van de vreemde objecten die zo af en toe in beeld verschijnen bij het ruimtestation.

Geheim ruimteprogramma

Hoewel het publiek toegang heeft tot de opnames, claimen ufologen dat NASA doelbewust informatie over UFO’s achterhoudt. In de beschrijving van de video staat dat NASA een roze- en goudkleurig object oppikt op het moment dat de camera twee minuten lang beweegt. De beelden dateren van 3 augustus jongstleden.

Eén van de reageerders vraagt zich af of het object onderdeel is van ‘ons geheime ruimteprogramma’. Iemand anders zei dat het de staart van een meteoriet kon zijn geweest of een lens flare. Denk je dat dit een UFO is? Deel dit artikel dan met je vrienden op Facebook.

Veroorzaakte UFO onweersbui boven Moskou, Rusland ( Video )

Verschillende mensen in de Russische hoofdstad Moskou maakten eind juli mooie opnames van een UFO die door het luchtruim schoot. 

Die als het ware ronddartelde en plezier leek te hebben en door sommigen verantwoordelijk wordt gehouden voor de onweersbui die even later losbarstte. 

Op 27 juli vond er een vreemde gebeurtenis plaats boven de Russische hoofdstad Moskou. 

Diverse mensen wisten opnames te maken van een soort vliegende orb, een kleine ronde UFO. 

Wanneer je de opnames bekijkt dan zie je heel duidelijk dat je hier te maken hebt met intelligent bestuurde objecten. 

De UFO was zichtbaar voor ongeveer een kwartier en enkele minuten nadat deze was verdwenen begon het te stormen en te regenen. Degenen die deze UFO gezien hebben vragen zich dan ook af of de storm is veroorzaakt door de UFO. 

Ufoloog Scott Waring zegt er het volgende over: 

Deze gloeiende orb vloog stilletjes over de boomtoppen in de buurt van wat gebouwen in Moskou. De getuige gelooft dat het bolbliksem is, maar bolbliksem is veel kleiner dat dit object. Bolbliksem is nooit groter dan enkele centimeters in doorsnee. Deze UFO was ongeveer zo groot als een motorfiets. 

Bolbliksem duurt altijd minder dan een minuut en deze UFO was tenminste een kwartier lang zichtbaar. 

Wanneer je naar de twee hiernavolgende screenshots kijkt dan zie je twee verschillende versies van de orbs vanwege het toepassen van bepaalde filters. Je ziet een tweede lichtcirkel rondom het centrum van de UFO.

De twee video’s hieronder zijn gemaakt door verschillende mensen onafhankelijk van elkaar en we kunnen er dus van uitgaan dat de opnames echt zijn. 

Scott Waring: 

     De UFO vliegt rond alsof het leeft en nieuwsgierig is. Je hoort ergens in de achtergrond een meisje schreeuwen en op hetzelfde moment schiet de UFO naar boven alsof het bang werd van het geschreeuw. De UFO heeft bewustzijn. 

Ik vraag mij af of de UFO inderdaad de storm veroorzaakte die enkele minuten later losbarstte. Ik denk het wel.

UFOs over Guadalajara, Mexico

Report by The Third Millennium about this mass UFO sighting that happened over Guadalajara in Mexico last year.

NASA and the European Space Agency Finally Prep Public for Alien Disclosure

First NASA chief scientist, Ellen Stofan openly admitted that alien life is ‘imminent’ and just last Tuesday, Dr. John Grunsfeld of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate announced that the agency was ‘on the verge’ of discovering life on planets other than earth.

Stofan and Grunsfeld hide the fact that NASA has been lying to the public about known extraterrestrial life for decades now, and that ETs have likely have been visiting earth for centuries.

Grunsfeld told a House Committee:

“Are we alone? Many, many people on planet Earth want to know…. We are on the cusp of being able to answer that question.”

And Stofan’s recent comments were even more bold:

“I think we’re going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth within a decade . . .I think we’re going to have definitive evidence within 20-30 years. We’re on the verge of things that people have wondered about for millennia. Within all of our lifetimes we’re going to understand that there is life on other bodies in the solar system. We’re going to understand the implications of that for life here on Earth.”

Her declaration is synchronized with the agency’s recent discovery of water of five of Jupiter’s and Saturn’s moons. We were also told by NASA recently, that their Kepler mission found another ‘earth’ in the ‘habitable zone’ in our Universe circulating around a star that resembles our sun. NASA defines ‘habitable’ based on the ability of a planet to pool water ostensibly to support life as we know it.

And then there’s the Guardian article titled “Is Kepler 425b humanity’s best chance to find alien life?” that discusses how earth’s twin – an exoplanet more similar to our own than has ever before been known is a likely case for alien life – never mind the 12 other hospitable planets that theSeti Institute is researching, and the fact that we’ve assumed all life would require the same things as ourselves, without considering that other sentient beings might not even have physical form.

Russia has even threatened the US, essentially saying, “tell the world about aliens or we will.”

But there is more to the story – as usual – than NASA and the European Space Agency, or even Seti are revealing.

Beginning in early March 2015, there was an alleged meeting on the moon involving up to 70 private individuals along with about 120 officials representing different secret space programs and national governments who heard plans about disclosing the existence of extraterrestrial life.

Dr. Michael Salla and David Wilcock have been giving ‘air time’ or you could say ‘Internet real estate’ to a whistleblower named Corey Goode. He is also known as GoodETxSG. He has his own Facebook page titled after the Sphere Being Alliance, a life-form(s) he has been working with to help disclose the massive extent of our corporate military industrial complex into space.

Whether you believe his wild testimony of secret space programs and bases on the moon or not, the very fact that thousands of people are signing up to see him be interviewed by Wilcock on Gaiam TV is a testament to just how ready people are to be told the truth about extra terrestrial life.

While it may be difficult to swallow the facts as Goode tells us – particularly that dozens of extra terrestrials have been manipulating our genetic code, and that the military industrial complex is even more bloated in space as it is here on earth – his testimony is at least worth hearing, and then deciding upon for yourself.

You can catch up rather quickly on what Goode has already ‘disclosed’ via Divine Cosmos, David Wilcock’s website, or you can go directly to Gaiam to watch his interviews. Coupled with NASA’s recent statements, and Russia’s threats, it seems something is brewing – perhaps the pressure is truly immense enough finally, that these agencies will now have to tell the truth.

Scientists now think we could find alien life in our lifetimes. Here's how.

Astronomers have dreamed about finding alien life for centuries. It's just always been considered a far-fetched possibility — the stuff of science fiction. That's why it's so surprising that in recent years, many scientists have started taking the search for life on other planets much, much more seriously.

Related40 maps that explain outer space

That's partly due to new astronomical discoveries. A generation ago, we didn't even have evidence that there were any planets orbiting other stars. But in the past few decades, scientists have found thousands of distant "exoplanets," including several that seem like they might have the right conditions for life. At the same time, scientists have discovered several moons right in our own solar system that appear to have liquid oceans underneath their icy surfaces and perhaps other ingredients necessary for life.

"FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HUMAN HISTORY, WE MIGHT HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO DO THIS"

It's all extremely promising. So astronomers have decided to double down on the search for extraterrestrials. They've moved beyond the traditional methods, which involved simply hoping that intelligent aliens might contact us via radio signals, à la the SETI Institute. Instead, they're now planning missions to nearby ocean worlds and finding new ways to peer at distant planets.

Some astronomers— including NASA's chief scientist — even believe we could find alien life within our lifetimes. "With new telescopes coming online within the next five or 10 years, we'll really have a chance to figure out whether we're alone in the universe," Lisa Kaltenegger, the director of Cornell's new Carl Sagan Institute, told me last year. "For the first time in human history, we might have the capability to do this."

Granted, if life does exist on any of these planets or moons — either in our solar system or outside it — it's far more likely to be in the form of simple, single-celled organisms rather than little green men. These microscopic aliens would be extremely hard to definitively detect, especially if they're orbiting other stars. But it would be a monumental discovery, a sign at last that we're not alone.

Here's a step-by-step guide to how we'll actually go looking for alien life.

Step 1: Survey our solar system's ocean worlds

It'd be a lot easier to find definitive evidence of extraterrestrial life within our own solar system than it would be to explore other stars. So the first step is to identify and explore all the ocean worlds orbiting our sun.

Ocean worlds are planets or moons that are icy on the surface but harbor a warmer liquid ocean underneath. They're promising for a simple reason: temperature. Most of the other planets in our solar system (i.e., those besides Earth) seem to be either too hot or too cold for life to survive, too close or too far from the sun. But a planet with an ocean might be able to get around this constraint — because there are lots of possible ways an ocean on a distant icy world could have the right temperature for life to occur.

For instance, scientists have recently found evidence of water oceans on at least three moons: Jupiter's Europa and Ganymede and Saturn's Enceladus. (Saturn's moon Titan also has an ocean of liquid methane.) Even though these moons are frigid on the surface, their insides appear to be warmed by various mechanisms.

Europa gets squeezed continually back and forth by Jupiter's immense gravity. "That results in friction, which generates heat, which is part of what we think helps maintain that liquid water ocean beneath the icy shell," NASA scientist Kevin Hand told me in May. These oceans could theoretically be home to life — and there might be similar oceans on other icy moons and space objects.(NASA/JPL-Caltech)

So far, we don't know a ton about these oceans. Most of the evidence for them is indirect, like the geysers of water vapor we've spotted erupting from Enceladus. To know more, we have to send initial probes to them. Which is what we're doing.

The first mission will likely be NASA's Europa Clipper, tentatively scheduled to launch sometime in the mid-2020s. Current plans call for it to enter Jupiter's orbit, then fly by Europa an estimated 45 times over the course of three or so years, gathering data on composition and temperature of the ocean, plumes, and icy surface. (There aren't any planned missions to Enceladus or Ganymede yet.)

Step 2: Explore nearby ocean worlds with follow-up probes

The Europa Clipper probably might not be able to determine for sure whether there's life there. That's because it'd be too expensive to give the probe every possible tool for exploration, such as a lander with the capacity to drill through the ice and collect water. After all, we're still not certain what life would look like on such a world and don't know exactly what we'd measure to test for it.

Instead, the initial probe will focus on understanding the size, composition, and temperature of Europa's ocean and creating high-resolution maps of its surface, so that afuture mission might land and directly study the moon's ice and water. The Clipper might also sample plumes shooting out of Europa's surface, to look for indirect evidence of hydrothermal activity in the ocean, which could be fuel for life.

Then the follow-up probes could conceivably search for life, although there's still much debate about what they'd look like. Some scientists have proposed submarines that could explore Europa's oceans after drilling through the ice. Similar missions, in theory, could someday be executed on Enceladus and Ganymede.

These missions could collect all sorts of data on activity within the oceans, perhaps providing stronger evidence for conditions that could be right for life. And if the oceans do have hydrothermal vents, then a submarine mission could even more fruitful. On Earth, these vents emit heated water and dissolved chemicals, which feedchemosynthetic bacteria, which in turn feed diverse groups of animals. It's a long shot, but similar ecosystems could have evolved on Europa and on other moons' sea floors.

Of course, the technology needed to carry out these sorts of missions is still years away. These follow-up probes would also be far more expensive than NASA's Clipper, in part because the extra equipment for a lander requires more fuel to launch into space. And that will undoubtedly prove a tough sell, given NASA's dwindling budget for planetary exploration.

Step 3: Bring ocean samples back to Earth

If these ocean worlds did contain any life, they'd most likely harbor exotic microscopic organisms (rather than more complex ecosystems). If that's the case, we'd probably want hard proof that life actually existed — and it'd be extremely hard to provide that remotely. That would entail bringing a water sample back to Earth.

This would be yet another monumental engineering challenge. To date, we've only managed to return rock samples from the moon and dust from a comet and an asteroid relatively nearby Earth. Bringing back a sample from Europa or another icy moon would require some sort of spacecraft that's light enough to launch with our rockets, but big enough (and able to carry enough fuel) to escape its destination's gravity when it's time to return home. At the moment, that technology doesn't exist.

There would also be another problem to worry about: how to avoid contaminating Earth with any life forms that we might bring back. This risk seems small — if there were alien life forms, they probably wouldn't have evolved to survive on Earth — but the potential damage could be devastating, as no Earth organisms have evolved any sort of resistance to the threats these aliens might pose. Consequently, scientists have come up with aseries of recommendations to prevent this sort of threat, mostly involving thorough quarantine of returning spacecraft and samples.

These technical challenges mean that finding (and verifying) life in our own solar system probably wouldn't occur for decades, at the earliest. So in the meantime, we'll also want to look much farther away: to planets in other solar systems. Paradoxically, that search might end up yielding results even sooner, though they wouldn't be as definitive.

Step 4: Find planets in other solar systems

The first step toward doing so is finding a planet alien life might reside on. We've already found thousands of exoplanets (and counting), mostly using NASA's Kepler space telescope and something called the transit method.

Here's how the method works. Imagine staring at a star far away. If there is a planet orbiting that star, it might occasionally pass between us and the star, briefly blocking it from view. Scientists can't actually see the planets doing this blocking, but they can indirectly detect their presence.

"We measure the brightness of a star, and when a planet passes in front of it, it blocks out some of the starlight for a period of a few hours," Thomas Barclay, an exoplanet researcher, told me in April. If scientists observe a star dimming by a consistent amount on a predictable schedule, they can infer the size of an exoplanet that's orbiting around it.

(Sean Raymond)

There are a few other methods for detecting exoplanets, but the transit method is the most straightforward, and it has led to the most discoveries to date.

Step 5: Narrow down the list to planets suitable for life

Now that we've found exoplanets, we need to whittle down the list to the most promising ones.

Scientists are still working on this step. Most of the thousands of planets in other solar systems that we've found are too big, too gaseous, or too hot to be capable of supporting life as we know it. (Unfortunately, these planets are also easier to detect.) So for now, they're crossing these off the list.

Based on what we know about life on Earth, we'd expect life to be more likely to evolve on a rocky planet that orbits within its star's habitable zone — an area where there's enough warmth for liquid water, but not too much heat. (It's possible that a planet even farther off than this could evolve life, perhaps due to a heat-trapping layer of ice like Europa, but it'd be extremely difficult — maybe impossible — to detect signs of life in an icy world in another star system.)

(NASA)

The good news is that there are definitely some exoplanets out there that meet these criteria. Scientists have already spotted about a dozen planets that are relatively close in size to Earth and which may lie in their stars' habitable zones. In July, for instance, astronomers discovered Kepler-452b, which is just 60 percent bigger than our planet and considered Earth's closest twin yet.

The catch is that our current telescopes aren't optimized to analyze these planets and look for signs of life. (Ironically, the Kepler telescope scientists currently use is toopowerful — it was built to observe distant portions of the Milky Way, not to look for planets relatively close by.) So scientists are building more suitable telescopes. NASA'sTransiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), set to launch in 2017, will be the first space telescope specifically designed to analyze exoplanets

Step 6: Scrutinize the atmospheres of the most promising exoplanets

Most exoplanets are probably too far off for us to ever visit — even with uncrewed probes. So the best way to learn more about them is by analyzing the light spectra that pass through their atmospheres. That lets us know what gases are present — and, if we're lucky, may give us clues as to whether there's life, as well.

So far, scientists have been able to directly analyze the spectrum of light passing through the atmospheres of a dozen or so exoplanets. However, these have all been large, gaseous planets with thicker atmospheres. Again, we want to analyze rocky planets in the habitable zone of stars.

(NASA)

This, too, will require better telescopes — and those are on the way. The James Webb Space Telescope, scheduled to launch in 2018, will help analyze the atmospheres of smaller, Earth-like planets that have been spotted by NASA's TESS. Meanwhile, theEuropean Extremely Large Telescope, a ground-based telescope to be built in Chile in 2024, may also be used for this purpose.

Step 7: Search for signs of life in these atmospheres

An illustration of the exoplanet Gliese 832c, one of the closest potentially habitable exoplanets. (Radialvelocity)

The reason we'd want to analyze atmospheres is to look for biosignatures — gases that could be signs of alien life. "We can't go to these planets," Kaltenegger told me. "So we're trying to figure out what a planet that has life might look like from far away, in ways that would be detectable by our telescopes."

At the moment, we only know of one planet with life — Earth — so scientists are using that as a model to determine what gases might support life. Kaltenegger and colleagues, for instance, have used our knowledge of Earth's history to generate what they call analien ID chart — a series of snapshots of Earth's atmospheric composition over the last few billion years, as it's evolved due to the presence of life.

Meanwhile, other researchers are modeling how various life forms might alter the atmospheres of planets with geologic compositions that differ from Earth's. As far as we know, there are some gases (like oxygen and methane) that are abundantly produced by life but can also be produced by geologic processes. On the other hand, there are some rare gases (like dimethyl sulfide) that are produced only by life forms — as far as we know — but in much smaller quantities.

In either case, though, any potential biosignatures we find will be somewhat uncertain. It'd be impossible to say that the makeup of an atmosphere hundreds of light-years away is definitive evidence of life, even if it were chock-full of dimethyl sulfide. We might find strong suggestions of life, but when looking at planets so far away — rather than oceans in our own solar system — it'll be hard to know for sure.

Alien Invasion: A Brief History Of The Most Famous UFO Sightings

The aliens are coming! You have been warned.

Humanity has always looked to the stars and wondered aloud if we are truly alone in the universe. In the case of these compelling UFO sightings the answer would seem no, we are not. While there are many extra-terrestrial encounters reported each year, only a handful have stood the test of time and remained without a rational explanation.

Here for your viewing pleasure are some of the most famous and convincing UFO photographs from the last 150 years. Before aeroplanes, and long before Photoshop the skies have been graced with mysterious saucer shaped flying objects, just see for yourself…

1870 – Washington, US

Often claimed to be the earliest picture of a UFO, this photograph was taken from the summit of Mount Washington, New Hampshire, in 1870.

1920’S – United States

Another fine example of an early photograph of an unidentified flying object. This picture was taken somewhere in the United States during the 1920’s.

1942 – Los Angeles, US

Searchlights converge on an unidentified object over Los Angeles on February 25, 1942. The bright blobs around the flashes are anti-aircraft shells exploding.

1942 – Tiensten, Hopeh Province, China

This UFO sighting was snapped by an American photographer in Tiensten, Hopeh province, China, in 1942. Several people in the photograph appear to be pointing up at the object.

1956 – Rosetta/Natal, South Africa

This photograph is one of seven taken by meteorologist Elizabeth Klarer just before a thunderstorm. Its authenticity has been confirmed in a notarized affadavit and she stood by her story until she died in 1994 at the age of 83.

We should also add that Elizabeth also claimed she was impregnated during a later encounter with a spaceship pilot.

1957 – Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico, US

Ella Louise Fortune, who worked as a nurse at the Mescalero Indian Reservation near Three Rivers, New Mexico, took this picture while driving along Highway 54 on October 16, 1957, near Holloman Air Force base.

1964 – United States

The exact location in this photographs is unknown, it is however believed to be taken somewhere in the United States on June 10, 1964, and was discovered in an attic some years later.

1969 – Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, US

(Image Source)

The Air Force project was based out of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio and ran from 1947 to 1969. Throughout the project, the Air Force amassed a total of 12,618 recorded sightings. Out of that total, 701 incidents remain “unidentified.”

1974 – Viborg, Jutland, Denmark

Mr Lauersen was walking his dog in Viborg, Jutland, Denmark, in the early morning hours of November 17, 1974 when he saw a strange looking object shrouded in a white cloud. He took this photo as the object was 250-300 metres away.

1976 – Switzerland

Three discs are visible in this photograph taken on March 8, 1976 in Switzerland.

1988 – Puerto Rico

Running to his car to get his camera after claiming to have been abducted at the Laguna Calthena, Mr Amaury Rivera managed to capture a series of photos which seem to show a jet fighter chasing an UFO.

1996 – Denver, US

Photographed in Denver, Colorado, in January, 1996, by Joe Clower, who was photographing some workmen painting the gold balls on a city monument.

Clower was waiting for the workmen to get ready for the photograph when he saw this strange bell-shaped flying object in the sky.

The Mysterious Crop Circle Phenomenon

(Before It's News)

Crop Circles–formed in living grain–exemplify the archetypal feminine nature of this moment’s change: a calling toward conscious, felt engagement with a dynamic, living, mysterious world. Gary S. Bobroff offers a framework for the reader’s own deeper consideration of crop circles by examining both the phenomenon itself and the nature of the era into which it has arrived, with special consideration of its relevance to Jungian archetypal psychology.

A crop circle is a sizable pattern created by the flattening of a crop such as wheat, barley, rye, maize, or rapeseed. Crop circles are also referred to as crop formations because they are not always circular in shape. The documented cases have substantially increased from the 1970s to current times, and many self-styled experts alleged an alien origin.

(Before It's News)

Took a little road trip to Seward 3 weeks ago and stopped along the way to admire the beautiful Mountains

and scenery and took several shots of this same Mountain and in one you can clearly see a UFO

taking off from the Mtn top and the very next shot I took had the same UFO (I am sure of it) and 

it’s further away. I snapped a few at a time so it must be the UFO after leaving. 

Pretty good close up and a classic UFO shape. I can send the orignal photo if anyone would like this.

This is the original photo below. I cropped it to show you a closer image of the actual UFO.

This is in pencil sketch.

AND this next photo is what it looked like when it left….I’m guessing because there is obviously a small dot

further out right after the picture of the UFO was taken.

Deze reusachtige structuur in het heelal blaast de huidige modellen van de kosmos op

Je kunt je bijna niet voorstellen hoe groot het universum is. Wetenschappers waren verrast toen ze onlangs een structuur in ons heelal ontdekten met een doorsnee van maar liefst vijf miljard lichtjaar. Dat is meer dan een negende van het hele waarneembare universum en veruit de grootste structuur die ooit is ontdekt.

Deze mysterieuze structuur is zo kolossaal dat het onze denkbeelden over de kosmos weleens op zijn kop zou kunnen zetten. “Als we gelijk hebben spot deze structuur met de huidige modellen van het universum,” zei hoofdonderzoeker Lajos Balazs in een persverklaring van de Royal Astronomical Society. “Het was een grote verrassing om zoiets groots te vinden en we begrijpen nog steeds niet echt hoe het is ontstaan.”

Gammaflitsen

Het gaat om een cluster van negen reusachtige sterrenstelsels die door de zwaartekracht bij elkaar worden gehouden. Op dezelfde manier is onze Melkweg onderdeel van een cluster sterrenstelsels. De structuur werd ontdekt nadat onderzoekers een ring van negen gammaflitsen opmerkten die allemaal van een plek op zeven miljard lichtjaar van ons leken te komen.

Gammaflitsen worden veroorzaakt door een supernova. Ze wijzen doorgaans op de aanwezigheid van een sterrenstelsel. Alle gammaflitsen in deze ring komen uit een verschillend sterrenstelsel. Omdat ze zo dicht bij elkaar liggen moeten de sterrenstelsels op de één of andere manier met elkaar verbonden zijn.

Paradigmaverschuiving

Een megacluster van deze omvang zou niet moeten kunnen bestaan, althans niet volgens de huidige theorieën. Die voorspellen dat de omvang van grote structuren in het heelal nagenoeg hetzelfde is. Sterker nog: volgens de huidige theorieën kunnen er geen structuren bestaan die groter zijn dan 1,2 miljard lichtjaar.

Als de berekeningen van het Hongaars-Amerikaanse team kloppen, zou deze gigantische structuur, die een doorsnee heeft van meer dan vijf miljard lichtjaar, het hele klassieke model opblazen. Óf de berekeningen kloppen niet, óf wetenschappers moeten de theorieën over de evolutie van de kosmos helemaal herzien.

De ontdekking van deze cluster kan leiden tot een paradigmaverschuiving binnen de astronomie. Vond je dit interessant? Denk er dan aan het artikel te delen op Facebook.

Thanks to Kjell for emailing this image on over to me I apologize that it took me so long to get to it. Things have been hectic here with my mother having surgery but everything went wonderful and she is recovering! My friend Stefan (EclipseFire Xin) did a great image covering the anomalies on this image as well that I show in the video and will link below as well! You can find him on YouTube, Facebook & now on WUITS! So this image totally looks to be the typical Uncle Jakes Junkyard filled with Intelligently designed rubble and ruins all over this area of the Gale Crater! I love the one in the thumbnail that looks like a modern day wash pan, bedpan.. ;) This one is worth a download and I will be doing a video from the same SOL very shortly so stay tuned! I can't wait to hear what you all think about this one!

Eyewitness states: 

I was walking to a room where I was sleeping on the couch. As I was getting my blanket I looked out the window and saw a bright light about a mile away over a mountain across from our house. It was very bright but not distinguishable. So I got my phone and zoomed and noticed it was flashing lights and moving so I took a picture and video of the object. I layer down and looked out my window to see the object was gone.

Captured Moment: UFO Overtaking a Flight during Take-Off From New York JFK Airport

Unidentified sightings by airline pilots are increasingly becoming popular. Unfortunately, there have been instances where pilots have gone missing while pursuing, witnessing or otherwise involved other of extraterrestrial-related activity. That alone suggests that aliens are not only a serious business, but also at times a deadly business, as we have, and shall see.

The footage appears to show an object flying at high speed from July 7. The odd object has led to the assumption that it may be an extraterrestrial vessel. From LookNowTV’s Rick, who found the video, said that the person who captured the strange sighting at JFK film planes is more often catching strange objects. He further admitted that he tried to shoot extraterrestrial vessels and has planned to hunt one in NYC with the hope to air on LookNowTV. While strange sightings received thousands of criticisms, he does not believe that the guy who captured the footage is a hoax. Based on the appearance, the structure and the movement, it is something that no people tell what it is. He even shared the material with his friends to get further opinions, unfortunately, no definitive conclusion. Whatever it is, Russ Kellett, the British UFO expert is still unconvinced, saying that it could be anything because it doesn’t look to be a bird. As you can see, the strange object appears from the airplane’s tail, moving sort of like a bird with wings flapping and moving away.

What do you think? Are aliens or extraterrestrial thing trying to make contact with the pilots? Are they real? There is no word from officials about whether the most recent sighting was another military experiment or a natural phenomenon. But there is no denying that such sighting has been captured, and people should embrace the moment. There are scientific explanations for this extraterrestrial occurrence, but just face it, they’re entertaining!

Philae data suggest that organic compounds – which eventually translated into living organisms here on Earth – existed in the early solar system.

By Paul Southerland, Sen.com

Though Rosetta’s little lander Philae made an unexpected bounce across the surface of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, and is now playing a game of hide-and-seek with mission controllers, it has already provided a wealth of information about its strange new home.

In particular, it has identified complex molecules dating from the early Solar System that could have been ingredients in the recipe that delivered life to our planet. Those results, and findings from other experiments were published last week in the journal Science.

Philae was pre-programmed to carry out a number of experiments as soon as it landed at its designated site, Agilkia, on November 12, 2014 following a seven hour descent from the mothership. One was to “sniff the air” so that experiments COSAC (Cometary Sampling and Composition) and Ptolemy could determine the chemical make-up of the gas and dust being given off by the comet.

Unexpectedly, the probe did its sniffing while it was in flight again above the comet, because the harpoons had failed to fire to anchor it to the surface. However, both experiments successfully took samples. COSAC was able to analyze material that was kicked off the surface on first touchdown and entered tubes at the base of the lander. At the same time, Ptolemy got a taste of gas entering tubes at the top of Philae.

COSAC collected ice-poor dust grains that contained 16 organic compounds, including many rich in carbon and nitrogen compounds. But it also detected four that had never been seen in a comet before—methyl isocyanate, acetone, propionaldehyde and acetamide.

Ptolemy’s samples were of gases making up the “atmosphere”, or coma, of the comet, and included water vapor, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, plus smaller amounts of carbon-bearing organic compounds, including formaldehyde.

What excites the scientists is that some of these compounds are important for the production of the buildings blocks of life, including amino acids, sugars and nucleobases. Because comets are leftover debris from the formation of the Solar System, more than four billion years ago, the presence of the compounds suggests that life’s ingredients were coming together in chemical processes even at that early stage.

Writing for academic news site The Conversation, UK comet expert Professor Monica Grady gave her view on the discovery. She is married to Professor Ian Wright, who works with the Ptolemy results at the Open University. Grady said:

• While this is a long, long way from finding life itself, the data shows that the organic compounds that eventually translated into organisms here on Earth existed in the early solar system.
• One of the declared goals of the Rosetta mission when it was approved in 1993 was to determine the composition of volatile compounds in the cometary nucleus. And now we have the answer, or at least, an answer: the compounds are a mixture of many different molecules. Water, carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2)—this is not too surprising, given that these molecules have been detected many times before around comets. But both COSAC and Ptolemy have found a very wide range of additional compounds, which is going to take a little effort to interpret.

Grady concluded:

• Most importantly, both of those sets of data show that the ingredients for life were present in a body which formed in the earliest stages of Solar System history. Comets act as messengers, delivering water and dust throughout the Solar System—now we have learnt for certain that the ingredients for life have been sown far and wide through the 4.567 billion years of Solar System history. The challenge now is to discover where else it might have taken root.

The fact Philae landed three times as it bounced to its final resting place in a region called Abydos means that the scientists got data from more than one site and have been able to compare different regions. That included surface properties and details of the comet’s interior. As it descended, and on final touchdown, the probe also imaged parts of the comet up close with its ROLIS and CIVA cameras, providing details about boulders littering the surface and the coarse soil.

Philae’s MUPUS instruments found that Abydos has harder material, probably compacted dust and ice, at the surface than Agilkia, where Philae first bounced. MUPUS also measured a variation in temperature between -180°C and -145°C as the comet rotated in its 12.4 hour daily cycle. Another experiment, CONSERT, used instruments on Rosetta and Philae to beam radio waves through the comet’s nucleus, revealing that its smaller lobe is a fairly homogeneous mix of loosely-compacted dust and ice.

Professor Jean-Pierre Bibring, a lead lander scientist and principal investigator of the CIVA instrument, said in a statement:

• Taken together, these first pioneering measurements performed on the surface of a comet are profoundly changing our view of these worlds and continuing to shape our impression of the history of the solar system.

Nothing has been heard from the lander since July 9, following occasional, intermittent contact after it “phoned home” on June 13, ending seven months of silence. Since July 25, Rosetta has moved into a position where it can explore Comet 67P’s southern landscape in the run-up to Perihelion, its closest point to the sun, and from there it will be unable to communicate with Philae anyway. But in a couple of weeks, it will be within range again, and the science team will be hoping to establish contact with the lander once more.

Hunt for alien life on Jupiter begins

European Space Agency joins forces with Airbus to develop new space probe to look for extra-terrestrial existence

By Sarah Knapton, Science Editor

In the past year humanity has landed on a comet, ventured to Pluto and discovered another planet which is so like our own it has been dubbed Earth 2.0.

But in the coming decades, space exploration is moving beyond charting the Solar System and will seriously start hunting for alien life.

This week the European Space Agency announced that is has joined forces with Airbus to develop a new space probe to look for extra-terrestrial existence on the icy moons of Jupiter.

It will launch in 2022 and head for the ocean-bearing worlds of Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.

Dubbed the Juice (JUpiter ICy moons Explorer) spacecraft, the mission will look at whether the frozen worlds which surround gas giants could support extra-terrestrial life.

So far missions like Nasa’s Kepler have focussed on hunting for rocky planets like Earth, believing that they would be the best candidates for life. But the first images beamed back from Pluto by the New Horizons spacecraft earlier this month suggest that icy outer planets and frozen moons could be geologically active and hold liquid water.

It is hoped that micro-organisms or even fish-like creatures may be present in deep-water hydrothermal vents known as 'black smokers' which are known to harbour life on Earth.

Dr Daniel Brown, an astronomy expert from Nottingham Trent University, said: "All our current exciting and fascinating space missions have been dealing with either understanding the origins of life and our Solar System or finding exoplanets that might host Earth-like planets.

"But, life doesn’t have to exist on planets like Earth, it could also have developed in oceans within icy moons around Jupiter like gas giants.

^{Space Agency (ESA) astronaut (NASA/ESA/REX)}

"Juice will be exploring the three Galilean moons of Jupiter thought to harbour oceans under their surface. It will give us a much better understanding what lies beneath the icy crust and how it could offer an environment for life to develop."

The probe will be launched on an Ariane 5 rocket and spend seven and half years sling-shotting around Earth, Mars and Venus to pick up enough speed to get to the Jupiter system with as little fuel as possible.

• 2014 was world's hottest year on record

For three and a half years, the spacecraft will sweep around the giant planet, exploring its turbulent atmosphere, enormous magnetosphere, and tenuous set of dark rings, as well as studying the icy moons, Ganymede, Europa, and Callisto.

All three of the planet-sized satellites are thought to have oceans of liquid water beneath their crusts and could provide key clues on the potential for such bodies to harbour habitable environments.

The probe will start with Callisto before making two flybys of Europa, where it will study the icy surface.

Dr Brown added: "At the moment we think Europa might be the most likely location to find life. Hopefully we would be able to pick up biomarkers on the surface where cracks on the ice mantle have allowed water from the internal ocean to appear.

"The lifeforms would then need to survive without any light under high pressure environments. Current research has indicated that there might be more oxygen present than initially expected, so it could not only support microorganisms but possibly fishlike creatures.”

The mission will culminate in a dedicated, eight-month tour around Ganymede, the first time any icy moon has been orbited by a spacecraft. And Ganymede is the only moon in the Solar System known to generate its own magnetic field so scientists are keen to work out how that is being achieved.

• 'Death test' could predict chance of dying within 30 days

“Juice will address the question: are there current habitats outside Earth in the Solar System with the necessary conditions to sustain life?” said François Auque, Head of Space Systems at Airbus.

“After the Sun, Mercury, Venus, the Earth, Mars, Titan… and even a comet, our engineers’ next challenge is to build this sophisticated spacecraft to explore the Jupiter system.”

The spacecraft will carry 10 instruments covering a wide range of measurements techniques (optical, sub-millimetre, radar, magnetic electric, plasma and particle sensors).

Weighing five and a half tonnes, Juice will be powered by a large 97 m² solar generator, the largest ever sent into space.

“Jupiter and its icy moons constitute a kind of mini-Solar System in their own right, offering European scientists and our international partners the chance to learn more about the formation of potentially habitable worlds around other stars," added Dmitrij Titov, ESA's Juicd Study Scientist.
