Live ISS Stream Footage: Legendary Black Knight Satellite

Today, unidentified flying objects are becoming increasingly popular. You can see them in modern movies featuring spacecraft and aliens. In fact, it is a favorite subject because people who spoke out about it are often subjected to ridicule. However, what if the one is claiming it is a professional hunter? Mister Enigma, an expert UFO hunter in YouTube reports seeing a legendary Black Knight satellite on Live ISS Stream in NASA. If you go over the news related to strange objects, you will be able to appreciate the uniqueness of this particular sighting.  In this recorded footage, it suggests that it could be a legendary Black Knight satellite. It is a well-noted principle that the satellite is not an ordinary one, but rather an ancient alien to have orbited the Earth for 13,000 years. When it comes to the theory, the Alien Black Knight satellite is a rich and fascinating one.

Black Knight seen during STS-88 Mission

The conspiracy theory evidently originated on May 14, 1954, when many reports circulating in the newspaper that the USAF detected satellites orbiting the Earth spotted by Donald Keyhoe. His claim drawn public attention because there is no country developed a technology that launch satellites into space.

In 1960, U.S. Navy detected a tumbling dark object weighing ten tons in Earth orbit. At first, it appears as a Soviet spy satellite with an orbital period of 104.5 minutes. In 1963, an astronaut Gordon Cooper claimed to see a strange greenish object during the Mercury 9 space flights. According to conspiracy theorists, NASA later claimed that Cooper’s report was a mistake caused either by Copper’s excess carbon dioxide breathing or by electronics malfunction.

According to conspiracy theorists, NASA suppresses the evidence when they remove the photos from their website. When the photos reemerged, NASA explained that the photos previously removed due to space junk.  Conspiracy theorists claim that the photos are of high quality and clearly show an alien craft. Regardless of your personal belief, aliens and extraterrestrial creatures are still part of our lives. The fabulous descriptions, photos and recorded footage that were being discovered provide some basis for the belief that other life exists on the earth.

'It's time to get the truth out there': UFO aficionado’s documentary claims to have more than 2000 eerie pictures of extra-terrestrial activity in Australia 

• Australien Skies documentary to premiere in Sydney theatre next month 
• The film created by Dojo Media's Don Meers and explores UFO sightings
• It follows expert Damien Nott, who has seens hundreds of objects in sky
• 'This is the time to get this out... to get the truth to people,' Mr Nott says 

By LIAM QUINN FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA

A new documentary is hoping to shed light on a growing number of alleged extraterrestrial encounters.

The film, Australien Skies, studies 'evidence' of UFO sightings across the country, and the people who spend their days gazing upwards hoping to spy something from outer-space.

The documentary's director, Don Meers with Dojo Media, said he made the film in an effort to get a grasp on the UFO phenomenon.

'The first goal of this film is to see if we can understand what is happening,' Mr Meers said.

'Secondly, I want to try to work out what these object are... and lastly, I want to see one of these objects up close for myself.'

One of the key figures of the documentary is Damien Nott, a qualified UFOlogist, who claims have more than 2000 pictures and videos of sightings - many of which feature bright objects hovering in the sky, and shapes inexplicably appearing and disappearing beyond the horizon.

'A lot of people think that I'm definitely an inductee or I'm definitely a conductee,' Mr Nott said, in a preview released ahead of the documents premiere next month.

Many of the pictures show brightly-lit objects that have appeared in the night sky

Other images taken by Mr Nott show shapes hovering above the earth

'I'm not going to come out and say I've spoken to aliens, and they've told me all these things about the planet... that has never happened. All I know is I've had a number of very strange experiences.'

The documentary also featured the story of Liam Freaney, who claims he was approached by the men in black following his own UFO encounters.

Mr Freaney said he first started seeing the visitors in March 2013, which led to him spotting a number of helicopters sinisterly hovering near his house, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. 

''I'm not going to come out and say I've spoken to aliens, and they've told me all these things about the planet... that has never happened,' Mr Nott said

The UFO expert uses a number of different cameras to capture his shots of interstellar visitors

'So I started filming the helicopters as well as the unidentified flying objects. It happened over and over again, 20 or 30 times at least.'

He also told the story of when he claims he was approached by shadowy figures in black limousines.

The documentary's director, Don Meers with Dojo Media, said he made the film in an effort to get a grasp on the UFO phenomenon

'One approached the window and he said: 'Good day Liam, how are you?' I said 'This is really strange.' He said: 'Yep, but you know what it is about. We'd like it if you didn't do your talk.' They said it would be better off for me to keep my mouth shut and to have a good day and then left.'

Mr Nott, who describes himself as a UFO 'researcher and experiencer', also criticised people who claim to have special links to alien life. 

'Everybody seems to want to put their hand up and say they are a contactee, or an abductee and that they are special,' he said.

The documentary also featured the story of Liam Freaney, who claims he was approached by the men in black following his own UFO encounters

'Australien Skies is about getting people answers... what we see these things in the sky do is incredible.

'This is the time to get this out there, to get the truth to people.' 

Australien Skies is screening in Sydney on September 2 at the Chauvel Cinema. The premiere has already sold out, as fans clamour to discover whether the truth is truly out there.

Fifth Giant Gas Planet In Our Solar System? (Video)

(Before It's News)

The Kuiper Belt is a population of icy bodies beyond the orbit of Neptune. A particularly puzzling and up-to-now unexplained feature of the Kuiper Belt is the so-called “kernel”.

The four gas giant planets in our solar system – Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune — may have a long-lost relative. According to a new study, our system was once home to a fifth gas giant that suddenly vanished some 4 billion years ago after a run-in with Neptune.

Indirect evidence for this lost world is seen in a strange cluster of icy objects — called the “kernel” in the Kuiper Belt. That’s the vast region of primordial debris that encircles the sun beyond the orbit of Neptune.

“The Kuiper Belt is a perfect clue to understanding how the solar system evolved since its formation,” study author Dr. David Nesvorny, an astronomer at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colo., told New Scientist.

For the study, Nesvorny created computer simulations of Neptune and the “kernel” cluster as they were 4 billion years ago in the early solar system. At the time, the cluster is believed to have been in Neptune’s gravitational grasp. But then, according to the simulations, something happened to cause the cluster to escape Neptune’s gravitational pull — placing the cluster and Neptune in their present locations.

This is where the lost planet comes in: the simulations suggest that it must have been another gas giant that bumped Neptune and caused it and the “kernel” to part ways.

The missing planet bumped into Neptune before disappearing into the abyss of space.

The new study was published online in The Astronomical Journal on August 10, 2015.

UFO Lands in Zimbabwe, Terrifies Entire School

Twenty years after it happened, the Ariel School sighting is still considered one of the most compelling UFO sightings in recent history.

 

Ariel School is a small elementary in Ruwa, Zimbabwe. In 1994, this remote school gained worldwide notoriety as ground zero for a UFO encounter with 62 witnesses. The story begins on the night of September 14th, 1994, two days before the incident, as the late MUFON field investigator Cynthia Hind recalls:

 

“Wednesday, 14th September, 1994, was an exciting night for Southern Africa. Round about 20:50 to 21:05 hours, a pyrotechnic display of some magnificence appeared in the almost clear skies of this part of the continent.”

 

She was referring to a strange event witnessed by hundreds, including scientists and astronomers. While reports vary, most spectators described several flattened craft emitting a trail of fiery ejecta that lingered on the night sky. Spectators unanimously submitted similar drawings of the object in distress.

 

The next night, the sky remained dark.

 

Friday morning, at approximately 10:15, the UFOs reappeared, this time in front of 62 schoolchildren. The teachers at Ariel School were in a meeting and the children were playing outside when three silver spheres suddenly became visible in the sky.

 

They soon disappeared in a flash of light then reappeared in a different position in the sky. After three such displays of cloaking/uncloaking, one of the strange craft began descending and landed in an area covered in rough vegetation, at a distance of about 100 yards.

 

 

 

“Then a small man (approx 1 meter in height) appeared on top of the object. He walked a little way across the rough ground, became aware of the children and disappeared. He, or someone very like him, then reappeared at the back of the object. The object took off very rapidly and disappeared.

 

The little man was dressed in a tight-fitting black suit which was ‘shiny’ according to one observant girl (11 years of age). He had a long scrawny neck and huge eyes like rugby balls. He had a pale face with long black hair coming below his shoulders.”

 

The kids’ description of the object’s occupants fits that of our typical ‘Gray’ aliens, but with an interesting addition: the black hair.

 

During the subsequent investigation, the schoolchildren turned in around 40 drawings, 22 of which are clear and descriptive. Most of these featured the classic disk-shaped UFO. But let’s not forget, this incident took place in 1994 in rural Zimbabwe so the children must have had little to no access to media sources. Plainly said, evidence suggests they drew what they really saw.

 

 

 

And they were very adamant about it, too. One little girl told Hind: “I swear by every hair on my head and the whole Bible that I am telling the truth.” Others were still frightened by the encounter. Their emotions were real and visible in the original interviews.

 

And time has done little to fade the impression left on the young witnesses. Twenty years later, they still vividly recall the strange event, as the video below shows:

 

Skeptics have tried to debunk the incident but even the most die-hard of them has to admit it’s difficult. With so many witnesses accurately and consistently describing this event, we’re looking at a nearly airtight case.

Aliens and UFO News: UFOs Seen In Mexico, Nevada and Russia; Why Are They Showing Up? [VIDEOS]

( Photo :Reuters) A recent footage of an Unidentified Flying Object was seen in Henderson, Nevada.

Recent footage of an Unidentified Flying Object was seen in Henderson, Nevada. The raw recorded video is more than seven minutes and cannot be disputed according to the prominent UFO researcher Scott C Waring.

According to UFO Sightings Daily, the video shows a group of UFOs that looks just like a phoenix light. Two lights first showed up high in the city of Henderson, then there is an airplane that came along but the two lights remained and changed its position. Little by little these lights are dividing its number into four, five--changing positions horizontally and diagonally just like making a show.

The said UFOs was seen in glowing yellow, green, white and bluish color. This video was recorded by a the source in February and was taken during night time where city lights are also glowing.

Recently,

 another footage of the same glowing ball light was spotted in Moscow, Russia. The video lasted for more than 15 minutes. Some said that it was a ball lightning but according to Waring, it has been visible for too long and been showing signs of intelligent movements.

"Ball lightning is much smaller than this... this UFO was about the size of a motorcycle..ball lightning lasts for under one minute, this didn't die out but instead lasted 15 minutes, then it flew away up into the clouds," Waring said.

The UFO researcher also added that the ball light had a second ring of light around it. He also said that UFO flies with curiosity. After the said UFO gone in the clouds, the storm came in minutes later, Express UK reported.                                               

Just a few weeks ago, there was another news in Mexico where an old man claiming that he was abducted by the UFO. Francisco Acosta Tostado, 68, was found seriously injured in the bushes on the side of the road. He said that he was chased by the an aircraft why he was riding his bike.

A photo taken shows that Tostado had a blood on his shirt, police reported he had a deep gash on his head. This incident happened in the city of Paso de Ovejas, Veracruz, México, Daily News reported.

Many photos have been captured by NASA's Curiosity Rover (in Mars), Google Moon, Google Earth and Google Mars. But these so-called extraterrestrial beings are not being confirmed and supported by some scientists. But there are millions of questions asking, "are aliens really exist?"

Sensational videos show THREE UFOs hurtling past the surface of the moon

The mysterious dark objects seem to pass close the celestial body and amazingly one looks like it's powered by rocket jets

A remarkable series of videos appear to show three unidentified flying objectszooming past the surface of the moon.

The mysterious dark objects seem to pass close the celestial body and amazingly one looks like it's powered by rocket jets.

The UFOs were captured by an expert cameraman who spends many days videoing the sky and documents what he finds.

Crrow777, as he is identifed by his user name, put the clips on YouTube and claims to never post any hoax footage.

He does use some effects, like zoom, colour and contrast, but only to highlight anomalies.

Speaking on one clip, he says: "I am not saying this is an alien, but it is a ship being intelligently controlled."

The object are not satellites, he says, because they take almost a minute to pass the moon's surface.

Man made objects orbiting the earth would take just two or three seconds, he claims.

Youtube

He said: "You will see only video I have personally shot.

"Everything is in high definition, and a lot of it is shot through an eight-inch telescope.

"I have shot UFOs, chem trails and the UFOs that accompany them, the moon, lunar UFOs and space anomalies.

"I make a pledge to all subscribers on my channel to never run false or deceptive clips and I will never edit the clips in a way that is deceptive.

"What you see is what I observe through my camera and telescope."

Many people watching the videos have been very impressed with the footage.

One posted: "Consistent with NASA's video of the tether incident.

"They do exist and are watching us.

Youtube

"They will allow us to destroy ourselves with nuclear war.

"After all, they had a hand in making this planet what it is today."

However another added: "Have you considered the possibility that you just saw an errant space rock?

"As we all learned from the Chelyabinsk meteor [which exploded unexpectedly over Russia in October 201], we don't exactly know about all the rocks flying around out there."

NSW skywatcher who filmed UFOs says he was quizzed by men in black

There's a movie being screened in Sydney next week that is sure to polarise its audience. It's called Australien Skies.

It's a documentary about some of the unexplained stuff seen by people who call themselves skywatchers. The timing is good. Earlier this month Russian billionaire Yuri Milner announced he would spend at least $US100 million ($138m) to see if there really is anything "out there". Australia will contribute to the effort using the CSIRO's Parkes radio telescope.

There is an intriguing story in the documentary from Kiama told by Liam Freaney. He's a builder, married with two kids and is a pretty regular kind of guy who, two years ago, had no particular interest in UFOs or staring up at the heavens.

But in March 2013, he and a workmate saw in the daylight, bright stars gathering around a ball of white light which disappeared and reappeared before being approached by what he describes as a F18 Super Hornet. Then everything vanished.

A few months later he started seeing objects regularly and bought a video camera to film them. But then things, he says, took a slightly sinister turn. Helicopters started hovering low over his house.

"I would see and film an object then directly afterwards I would get home and a helicopter would show up and sit over the house," he said. "So I started filming the helicopters as well as the unidentified flying objects. It happened over and over again, 20 or 30 times at least.

"When they hover the height of a lamp post above your house and lean out the window it's definitely not military training."

"These things will go invisible in front of you then reappear then shoot across the sky into a pinprick and then come straight back in front of you at incredible speed. Maybe I have filmed something I shouldn't have. That's a possibility."

He got in touch with Damien Nott and with Mariana Flynn, president of UFO Research NSW. She said they had reports of black helicopters flying over numerous homes.

"There have been reports of people leaning out of the helicopter with a camera and filming," she said.

Mr Freaney was last year going to give a talk about his experience to her UFO group. The event had been publicised on the internet. It was two weeks before the talk and he was near home when he noticed a car behind him.

"It had flashing lights inside the front grill. It was a black car. I stopped. Two guys got out of the black Holden Statesman with a
Canberra plate.

"One approached the window and he said: 'Good day Liam, how are you?' I said 'This is really strange.' He said: 'Yep, but you know what it is about. We'd like it if you didn't do your talk.' They said it would be better off for me to keep my mouth shut and to have a good day and then left."

He decided it might be wise not to give the talk. Now he has changed his mind.

"I am well aware of the situation I am putting myself in," he said. "The purpose of this whole two and a half years of contact that has happened to me I believe is for me to pass on the message that it is happening and that it is real. The only thing I have got out of it is to tell people what I am seeing."

Bright Meteor Accompanied by UFO Above Puerto Rico! (Video)

(Before It's News)

A bright meteor was seen from Puerto Rico on the night of August 20, according to Sociedad de Astronomía del Caribe (SAC).

But it was not only the meteor, also a UFO can be seen moving through the sky alongside the meteor and it appears that the UFO has intervened before the meteor would hit Puerto Rico.
 

The largest astronomy organization on the Caribbean Island says the meteor was seen at about 9:30 p.m. local time. “We got reports from the north and west side of the Island, but it is possible the meteor was also seen from other areas of Puerto Rico, SAC said.

Although there was a recent meteor shower (the Perseids) it seems this meteor was not related to the shower and was a sporadic meteor instead.

SAC explained this type of meteor is usually associated with small space rocks which generally disintegrate on Earth’s atmosphere. Only a few have enough size or mass so that parts of it can survive the atmospheric friction, and reach the surface.

Now, there are rumors that an asteroid will impact Earth, sometime between Sept. 15 and 28, 2015. On one of those dates, as rumors go, a meteor or asteroid will hit near Puerto Rico and destroy much of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States and Mexico, as well as Central and South America.

Due the on-going rumors NASA has been forced to issue a statement publicly.

According to NASA: “There is no scientific basis – not one shred of evidence – that an asteroid or any other celestial object will impact Earth on those dates,” said Paul Chodas, manager of NASA’s Near-Earth Object office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

“If there were any object large enough to do that type of destruction in September, we would have seen something of it by now,” he stated.

NASA continues: In fact, NASA’s Near-Earth Object Observations Program says there have been no asteroids or comets observed that would impact Earth anytime in the foreseeable future. All known Potentially Hazardous Asteroids have less than a 0.01% chance of impacting Earth in the next 100 years.

OK, NASA has found and is tracking about 95 percent of the largest objects flying near Earth, those that are .62 miles (1 km) or larger in diameter. But what about the other 5%, like the asteroid that exploded over Russia and even surprised NASA.

Even surveys of near-Earth objects of 100 meters or less are not even one percent complete, planetary scientist Paul Abell, at NASA’s Johnson Space Center said to Forbes.

So, how can NASA be so sure that there is No asteroid or meteor threatening Earth?

Just yesterday, August 22, 2015, NASA’s All-Sky cameras captured huge Meteor/Fireballs burning up in the atmosphere. The network reported 22 fireballs just in one day which are not related to the Perseid meteor shower.

Suppose something is really about to happen, the UFO pilots are going to protect us against the asteroid/meteor threat like they did with the ‘sporadic fireball’ above Puerto Rico, yesterday or we have to believe NASA’s statement?

22 sporadic fireballs in one day and NASA does not know where they came from. Are they the harbinger for something bigger?

Personally, I would not rely on NASA’s statements, even Charles Bolden, the chief of the Nasa, has warned that the US space agency’s best advice on how to handle a large asteroid heading towards Earth is “pray”.

Bright Triangle UFO Appears Out of Nowhere Over Indianapolis, US (Photos)

(Before It's News)

A strange event took place in the skies above Indianapolis on August 8, 2015.
 

Witness: On August 8, 2015, I was walking out the house to a friend’s house and as I’m walking around the corner I look up and see a bright light shaped like a triangle hovering maybe no more than 1000ft off the ground.

I didn’t really have to think much about what it was cause there was nothing else in the sky so I stopped for a couple minutes and just watched it hovering slowly moving farther away.

I’ve seen videos of UFOs disappear in a second so I quickly took out my phone and took some pictures of it, by that time I was already at my friend’s house the triangle object was gone. Mufon case 69633.

Note: If we take a look at the three enlarged images of the object, it looks as if it changes shape before it hovering farther away.

Waarom verschijnen er iedere keer 3 UFO's ? ( video )

Van alle UFO-waarnemingen die er over de hele wereld worden gedaan, is er een relatief hoog aantal waarbij er drie worden waargenomen. 

Niet alleen komen er vaak drie UFO’s voor, maar ze zijn meestal ook nog iedere keer anders in kleur en formatie. 

Het gebeurt in verhouding vaak dat mensen bij UFO-waarnemingen er drie zien die dan in een bepaalde formatie vliegen.

Alleen deze maand al een aantal voorvallen waarvan sprake is van drie UFO’s al dan niet in een driehoeksformatie. 

Een eerste is de waarneming van een lezer die op 14 augustus plaatsvond. 

Gisteren kreeg ik van de zoon van een goede vriend deze foto. Met zijn smartphone gemaakt op 14 augustus rond 22:00 uur. Hij stond samen met zijn vader op de loopgalerij van hun flat aan de Norbruislaan te Utrecht ter hoogte van de benzine pomp. 

Beiden “geloven” niet echt in UFO`s. Ik heb er hun wel vaak over verteld. 

Ze zagen drie bollen waarvan ze dachten dat het straaljagers waren. Vlogen laag en zeer snel, echter zonder geluid. Deze bol - de laatste - bleef over. 

Zaterdag 22 augustus vertelden ze mij dit verhaal en lieten de foto zien. Voor mezelf weet ik zo ongeveer wel uit welke bron UFO`s komen. Ben blij dat mijn vriend en zijn zoon deze zaken serieus gaan nemen.

Waar we in het bovenstaande te maken hebben met drie oranjeachtige UFO’s, zo zag een vader met een angstig dochtertje een drietal blauwe in Dindal in Colombia.

Of we hier te maken hebben met drie afzonderlijke UFO’s of dat deze lichten onderdeel vormen van één schip is niet helemaal duidelijk. 

De waarneming vond plaats op 19 augustus 2015. 

 
Op 19 augustus werd er boven de Amerikaanse staat Connecticut ook een formatie van drie UFO’s waargenomen.

Hier zijn het witte UFO’s waarbij het duidelijk is dat ze niet toebehoren aan hetzelfde schip, maar zich afzonderlijk bewegen. 

 

Op 8 augustus 2015 verschijnen boven het Amerikaanse Indianapolis onverwacht een drietal UFO’s in de vorm van een driehoek. 

Volgens de getuige die de onderstaande foto nam, liep hij buiten onderweg naar het huis van een vriend toen de lichten opeens verschenen. 

Hij reageerde snel door wat foto’s te nemen en tegen de tijd dat hij aankwam bij het huis van de vriend was de formatie verdwenen.

Allemaal voorvallen die te maken hebben met drie UFO’s, maar ook allemaal weer anders. De kleuren zijn verschillend, de formaties waarin ze vliegen zijn anders, maar altijd weer drie UFO’s. 

Mocht iemand een verklaring hiervoor hebben dan vernemen wij dit graag.

Green Glowing UFO Caught During Sunset In Yellowstone Park, Montana On Aug 2015, UFO Sighting News

Date of sighting: August 15, 2015
Location of sighting: Yellowstone Park, Montana, USA
Source: MUFON

This UFO report has a green glowing craft caught during sunset. I often say this, but I need to say it again, UFOs are most often seen during sunset. This green craft is very beautiful. Its not a disk, but a shape like no other. After she took the first photo, the craft hid in the shadows of the trees, but lucky for us, she caught it. Its very geometrical in shape and is tilted to one side. Check out the closeups I made below.

Eyewitness states:
I was out fishing in the Yellowstone River one evening when the pictures were taken.It was around 7:30 or 8:00 p.m. and I took a few of the sun behind the clouds but something kept grabbing my attention about that particular area.I kept feeling like I needed to take more pictures towards that direction. I noticed the object in one picture moving towards the cloud, and when looking at the picture before, I noticed it in the trees across the river from me. It has a strange green glow. I can't say what it was but I definitely believe that it's possibly a u.f.o. and I wanted experts to have a look.

Video – Cigar UFO Over Oklahoma Sky

Cigar-shaped object caught on video as it descended in the western sky, according to an Oklahoma witness near Tulsa. The witness said that he was driving home from work on Highway 169 northbound when he saw it descending slowly in the western sky on the sunset. It caught his attention as it was falling slowly.

The witness used his cell phone to take a photo and then started recording the aerial activity. The witness said that he managed to record the activity for a little over two minutes. When he got home, he showed the clip to his wife, and she could not identify the object. The witness posted it on Facebook the next day. Many people ruled out a passing comet being the identity of the object as its glow never dissipated and did not give off a trail.

MUFON-Oklahoma field investigator Eugene N. Zavodny closed the case as Unknown. In his report, Zavodny said the photo and video were captured through Samsung Galaxy S3 cell phone. However, both the photo and two-minute video have no enough resolution to make out any details on the UFO.

Zavodny described the object as cylindrical with the vertical axis. The length would be around three times the diameter, according to Zavodny. Neither the photo nor the video has defined the top end of the object sharply.

The witness shot the video while the car was moving, so it’s difficult to know if the object was also moving, other than slowly descending. The footage and the photo show the UFO was behind scattered low clouds, which could mean it was at a considerable distance. As it fell behind buildings and trees, the witness lost sight of it.

The Valentich Disappearance: Another UFO Cold Case Solved?

Feature

James McGaha and Joe Nickell

Skeptical Inquirer Volume 37.6, November/December 2013

What did he see? The missing piece of the puzzle in a strange ‘UFO’ case involving the crash of a young pilot off Australia has been identified.

What is known as the “Valentich disappearance” is a strange occurrence in the annals of UFOlogy, one never satisfactorily explained—until now. One of us (Nickell) was asked to look into the case for a television show, and he queried the other (McGaha) who came up with the missing piece of the puzzle (as perhaps only someone who was both a pilot and astronomer could do).

The story begins in Australia about 19:00 hours (7:00 PM), or shortly after sunset (6:43 PM), on October 21, 1978. A young man named Frederick “Fred” Valentich—who had left Victoria’s Moorabbin airport at 18:19 (6:19 PM)—was piloting a light airplane, a rented single-engine Cessna 182L (registration VH-DSJ) over Bass Strait, heading southeastwardly for King Island. When what he thought was another aircraft seemed to pass over him, he radioed Melbourne Air Flight Service, and spoke with controller Steve Robey. Here is the (slightly abridged) exchange (with punctuation and capitalization added), taken from the transcript of the audiotape (beginning at 19:06:14):

Valentich: Is there any known traffic below five thousand [feet]?

Robey: No known traffic.

V: I am—seems [to] be a large aircraft below five thousand.

R: What type of aircraft is it?

V: I cannot affirm. It is [sic] four bright, it seems to me like landing lights. . . . The aircraft has just passed over me at least a thousand feet above.

R: Roger, and it, it is a large aircraft? Confirm.

V: Er, unknown due to the speed it’s traveling. Is there any Air Force aircraft in the vicinity?

R: No known aircraft in the vicinity.

V: It’s approaching right now from due east towards me. . . . [Silence for 2 seconds.] It seems to me that he’s playing some sort of game. He’s flying over me two, three times, at a time at speeds I could not identify.

R: Roger. What is your actual level?

V: My level is four and a half thousand. Four five zero zero.

R: And confirm you cannot identify the aircraft.

V: Affirmative.

R: Roger. Stand by.

V: It’s not an aircraft. It is—[Silence for 2 seconds.]

R: Can you describe the, er, aircraft?

V: As it’s flying past, it’s a long shape. [Silence for 3 seconds.] [Cannot] identify more than [that it has such speed]. [Silence for 3 seconds.] [It is] before me right now, Melbourne.

R: And how large would the, er, object be?

V: It seems like it’s stationary.¹ What I’m doing right now is orbiting, and the thing is just orbiting on top of me also. It’s got a green light and sort of metallic. [Like] it’s all shiny [on] the outside. [Silence for 5 seconds.] It’s just vanished. . . . Would you know what kind of aircraft I’ve got? Is it military aircraft?

R: Confirm the, er, aircraft just vanished.

V: Say again.

R: Is the aircraft still with you?

V: [It’s, ah, nor-] [Silence for 2 seconds.] [Now] approaching from the southwest. . . . The engine is, is rough idling. I’ve got it set at twenty three twenty four, and the thing is—coughing.

R: Roger. What are your intentions?

V: My intentions are, ah, to go to King Island. Ah, Melbourne, that strange aircraft is hovering on top of me again. [Silence for 2 seconds.] It is hovering, and it’s not an aircraft. [Silence for 17 seconds, open microphone, with audible, unidentified staccato noise. End of transcript.] ( Aircraft Accident 1982. See also Good 1988, 175–77; Chalker 1998, 964; Haines and Norman 2000; Baker 2000, 248)

Some versions of the transcript fail to match that of the accident report in important details. For example, instead of “[It is] before me right now,” one source (Chalker 2001, 629) gives “. . . coming for me right now.”

The communication ended about 19:12:49. Although an intensive air, land, and sea search was carried out until October 25, no trace of the Cessna was found. An oil slick discovered on October 22, some eighteen miles north of King Island, “was not established as having any connection with Valentich’s plane” (Good 1988, 178). The Bureau of Air Safety Investigation released its findings in May 1982, stating that “The reason for the disappearance of the aircraft has not been determined,” but that the outcome was “presumed fatal” (Aircraft Accident 1982). Suicide? Staged disappearance? Alien attack or abduction? Drug runners’ shootdown? Electrical discharge from a cloud igniting gas fumes? There were many “theories,” including those of “psychics” (Chalker 1998, 966–67; “Valentich” 2013). However, none seemed to explain both the disappearance and the lights. To understand what happened, we need to look more closely at Fred Valentich.

The Pilot

Fred Valentich was a twenty-year-old, inexperienced flyer with only about 150 total hours flying time and a class-four instrument rating (which meant he could operate at night but only “in visual meteorological conditions” [Aircraft Accident 1982]). He had twice been rejected by the Royal Australian Air Force, due to inadequate education. Having obtained a private pilot license in September 1977, he was studying part time for a commercial pilot’s license.

Unfortunately, he had failed all five of his exam subjects—not once but twice—and, just the month before, again failed three subjects. Further, his involvement in three flying incidents came to the attention of officials: once he received a warning for having strayed into restricted air space, and twice he was cited for deliberately flying blindly into a cloud, for which he was under threat of prosecution (Sheaffer 2013; “Valentich” 2013). In brief, Valentich may have been an accident waiting to happen.

Moreover, the young pilot was enthralled with UFOs, watching films and accumulating articles on the topic. Earlier that year, according to his father, Valentich had himself observed a UFO moving away very fast. And he had expressed to his father his worry about what could happen if such presumed extraterrestrial craft should ever attack (Sheaffer 2013; “Valentich” 2013). As we shall see, his deep belief in flying saucers may have contributed to his death—and not in the way some saucer buffs imagine.

Some thought Valentich might have staged his disappearance, but the evidence does not support that hypothesis (Good 1988, 180). Nevertheless Valentich did give two contradictory reasons for his flight to King Island: (1) to pick up some friends (as he told flight officials), or (2) to pick up crayfish. However, these reasons were found to be untrue (Aircraft Accident 1982; “Valentich” 2013). Valentich had not even followed standard procedure to inform King Island airport of his intent to land there (“Disappearance” 2013).

So what was Valentich really up to—in addition to wanting to log more hours of flying experience? Possibly he had decided to look for UFOs again but, rather than admit that, offered others more legitimate-sounding reasons for his flight. In short, he may not simply have encountered a UFO but instead went looking for one. If so, his “encounter” is not surprising. As a “True Believer,” observes Robert Sheaffer (2013, 27), Valentich was “probably inclined to assume anything is a ‘UFO’ if he could not immediately identify it.”

So what did the young pilot see? Having clear skies, he described four bright lights that he mistakenly (as he later admitted) first thought were an airplane’s “landing lights” (that is, white points of light). They were above him and—except for his own movements (more on this later)—seemed to be just “hovering.” Then twice and quite correctly, he realized “it” was definitely “not an aircraft.”

As it happens, a computer search of the sky for the day, time, and place of Valentich’s flight reveals that the four points of bright light he would almost certainly have seen were the following: Venus (which was at its very brightest), Mars, Mercury, and the bright star Antares. These four lights would have represented a diamond shape, given the well-known tendency of viewers to “connect the dots,” and so could well have been perceived as an aircraft or UFO. In fact, the striking conjunction was shaped as a vertically elongated diamond, thus explaining Valentich’s saying of the UFO that “it’s a long shape.”

As to the UFO’s other characteristics, the “metallic” or “shiny” appearance could have been due to the power of suggestion alone. Having connected the dots, Valentich would likely have gone on to fill in the area as solid, even “metallic.” We must remember that Valentich’s impressions are those of someone who was confused about what he was seeing.

The “green light” could have been part of this confusion also. Remember, Valentich’s first description of the UFO involved only four bright white lights; he made no mention at that time of a green one. It could actually have been nothing more than the Cessna’s own navigation light on its right wing tip. That green light—or its reflection on the windshield—could easily have been superimposed onto the UFO sighting.

A witness on the ground, who de­scribed having seen a green light just above Valentich’s plane, had not mentioned that aspect of his story at the time. However, many years later—after the green light was made public—he did mention the detail, but he is only identified by a pseudonym. Nevertheless, he said (in the words of his interviewers) that “Its color was similar to the navigation lights on an airplane” (Haines and Norman 2000, 26)! If the Cessna was indeed close enough to the land as to be seen by the man and his two nieces, there is a simple explanation: that the airplane’s attitude (a steep angle of bank) was such that its right wing tip was up, and so its green navigation light appeared above the Cessna. As the witness stated, the light was positioned “like it was riding on top of the airplane,” and it kept a constant position, according to the witnesses (Haines and Norman 2000, 26). But again, there are problems with the main witness’s description. As his interviewers acknowledge, his “recollection of the angular size of the airplane’s lights is too large by perhaps several orders of magnitude” (Haines and Norman 2000, 28). (Incidentally, misreadings by amateur writers have now converted Valentich’s “green light” into multiple “green lights” [e.g., “Disappearance” 2013].)

But what about the UFO’s movements when it was not “hovering”? It is now clear—since we have identified the UFO as probably a conjunction of four celestial lights—that it was not the UFO moving in relation to the plane but rather the opposite: the plane moving in relation to the stationary lights. There is actually evidence from the transcript that this is so. After the UFO has repeatedly seemed to fly over him, Valentich says, “What I’m doing right now is orbiting, and the thing is just orbiting on top of me.”

This points to what was really happening to the poor inexperienced pilot. Distracted by the UFO, he may then have been deceived by the illusion of a tilted horizon. That can happen when the sun has gone down but still brightens part of the horizon, while, of course, the rest of it gets gradually darker farther away. This imbalance of lighting can cause the horizon to appear tilted, so that, in compensating by “leveling” the wings, the pilot inadvertently begins—not to orbit (circle), but to spiral downward—at first slowly, then with increasing acceleration.

At a most critical time therefore, when he should have been in fully alert mode, paying attention to his instruments, he was instead engaged in something that was extremely distracting: flying while excitedly focusing on, and talking about, a UFO. This, as we can now see, was a recipe for disaster. With Valentich succumbing to spatial disorientation, his plane (like that of young John F. Kennedy Jr. over two decades later) began what is aptly termed a “graveyard spiral.”

Further corroboration of this may come from the pilot’s statement that the engine was “rough idling”—just seconds away from his final contact. The plane’s moving in a tightening spiral would cause an increase of G-forces with a consequent decrease in fuel flow, resulting in the engine’s rough running. Or, at that point, the Cessna may have already inverted, producing the same effect because that plane had a gravity-fed fuel system.

Not surprisingly, Valentich’s airplane going missing while he was radioing a UFO report prompted talk of extraterrestrials and abduction. Indeed, it spawned later reports of other UFOs allegedly seen on the night of the Cessna’s disappearance. These provoked a skeptical Ken Williams, spokesperson of the Department of Transport, to tell a reporter, “It’s funny all these people ringing up with UFO reports well after Valentich’s disappearance” (“Pilot Missing” 1978).

Just a month after the disappearance, the pilot of another Cessna sighted the outline of what he believed was a submerged aircraft, but on another pass over, he was unable to confirm that observation (Good 1988, 178). Now thanks to yeoman’s work by Australian researcher Keith Basterfield, who rediscovered the “lost” official case file, we have new information. As he explains, “parts of aircraft wreckage with partial matching serial numbers were found in Bass Strait five years after the disappearance.” (Qtd. in Sheaffer 2013, 27.)

Fred Valentich’s UFO has now been identified. That is, we can show that a group of four bright lights, consistent with his description, was within his sight at the time he was reporting his UFO. This is the long missing piece of the puzzle that awaited solving because the case required expertise from astronomy as well as aeronautics.

The identification underscores the inescapable fact that the disappearance was simply a fatal crash. Ironically, it might never have occurred but for the young pilot’s fascination with UFOs. If not actually the reason for his evening flight, as we suspect, the fascination nevertheless was part of why it ended tragically.

We can now reread the transcript of the exchanges between Valentich and an air traffic controller with a new understanding. In our mind’s eye we watch in horror as—distracted and disoriented—the young pilot unexpectedly enters the “graveyard spiral” that carries him to his death. n

Atlantis Discovered in the Bermuda Triangle: The Sunken City Features Giant Pyramids and Sphinxes [Complete )

I. The report

Two scientists, Paul Weinzweig and Pauline Zalitzki, working off the coast of Cuba and using a robot submersible, have confirmed that a gigantic city exists at the bottom of the ocean.

The site of the ancient city — that includes several sphinxes and at least four giant pyramids plus other structures — amazingly sits within the boundries of the fabled Bermuda Triangle.

According to a report by Arclein of Terra Forming Terra, Cuban Subsea Pyramid Complex, the evidence points to the city being simultaneously inundated with rising waters and the land sinking into the sea. This correlates exactly with the Atlantis legend.

The disaster may have occurred at the end of the last Ice Age. As the Arctic icecap catastrophically melted it caused sea levels to rise quickly around the world, especially affecting the Northern Hemisphere. Coast lines changed; land was lost; islands (even island continents) disappeared.

At the end of last Ice Age sea levels were nearly 400 feet lower than present day levels. Once the waters began to rise, they rose swiftly. Conceivably, no technology then, or now, could have saved Atlantis from its watery grave. The evidence that land in what’s now the Caribbean also sank into the sea concurrently seems pretty certain.

Arclein observes:

• “At the time uplifted portions of the Mid Atlantic Ridge subsided also including Lyonese and the home islands and land mass around the Azores. Even if that had not happened, this subsidence was amply large enough.
  
  “This would have produced an orthogonal pressure forcing subsidence to either East or West. Since the ridge between Cuba and Yucatan is the natural point of weakness between the Gulf subsidence basin and the Caribbean subsidence basin, it naturally subsided deeply. The driver for all this was the hydrostatic changes brought about by both the original crustal shift of 12,900 years ago that I have called the Pleistocene Nonconformity and the slow uplift of the Hudson Bay Basin brought about by the ending of the Ice Age.” 

Cuban missile crisis stops research 

According to journalist Luis Mariano Fernandez, the city was first discovered decades ago, but all access to it was stopped during and after the Cuban Missile Crisis.

• “The U.S. government discovered the alleged place during the Cuban missile crisis in the sixties, Nuclear submarines cruising in the Gulf (in deep sea) met pyramid structures. They immediately shut down the site and took control of him and the objects, in order that it will not come to Russians hands.” 

The science team of deep ocean experts, archaeologists and oceanographers found ruins of ancient buildings 600 feet below the ocean. They say the city is Atlantis.

Pyramids and sphinxes bigger than Egypt’s 

Evidence that the island of Cuba is the vestige of a once mighty culture is supported by Zalitzki’s discovery on the island of extremely ancient symbols and pictograms identical to those seen on the underwater structures.

Using exploration submersibles, they discovered amazingly huge pyramid structures similar to (but larger than) the pyramids in Giza, Egypt. They estimate the Atlantis pyramids are constructed with stones weighing many hundreds of tons.

• Incredibly the ancient city also has magnificent sphinxes and “stones that arranged like Stonehenge, and a written language engraved on the stones,” reports Fernandez. 

Could such a discovery change Mankind’s view of history? Yes, it could change everything.

• Fernandez writes, “It has confirmed that the stones were cut, carved and polished to make them fit together and thus form larger structures. On the strange inscriptions, some of them similar to Egyptian hieroglyphics, very little is known, except that they are very abundant and found in almost all parts of the field. They have also appeared symbols and drawings whose meaning is unknown.” 

The exploration of Atlantis, called Project Exploramar, is expanding to discover more of the mysteries of the mega-city.

Speaking with a scientist about the possibility that the ruins are indeed Atlantis, Fernandez reports the expert replied:

• “...in the Yucatan cultures today is possible that what still remains of the aborigines of those places perhaps the Olmecs or some very primitive civilization of Yucatan, the northern part of Central America—originated according to them on an island that sank by a cataclysm. This island is called Atlanticú.”

That too fits the stories about the sudden demise of the wondrous Atlantis. Atlanticú is, of course, Atlantis. The aboriginal natives still call it that in their history.

Fernandez interviews Pauline Zalitzki  about Atlantis [Image: LMF]

During an interview about the exploration of the mega-city, Fernandez asked lead scientist Pauline Zalitzki about the civilaztion that built it.

“When we published the first news of this finding,” she said, “the University of Veracruz was interested in our work and we had recorded images of these structures on the seabed. Specifically, the Institute of Anthropology of the University excavations invited me. They were doing [studies] on parts and ruins of the Olmec civilization.

“When they saw these submarine images [they] found similarities and parallels with the ruins found in these excavations that the Institute was undertaking.

“The Olmecs and other native peoples all have primary morphology marking the arrival of this continent. This mean coming from the direction of Cuba, and had to occur in a very large earthquake where their land sank.

Morphologies indicate that they belong to three families who were saved. One of these families came to the coast of Veracruz, which are supposedly the Olmec. Others came to Central America and traveled to the Pacific coast, and these families created the civilization of the Americas as we know it today, because they distributed all their knowledge.

When these anthropologists saw underwater images of this city, and saw some stone monoliths, some symbol, and inscriptions, they identified with Olmec motifs. They were very surprised.”

The Olmecs devolved from the survivors of Atlantis, a much superior culture destroyed aft the end of the Ice Age flooding. The world was reshaped and a super-civilization destroyed, remembered for millennia only in legend and a passing refernce by the philosopher Plato.

But Atlantis was real, is real: scientists Paul Weinzweig and Pauline Zalitzki have found it.

The above work of art was once part of the old Maya city of Tikal, in Guatemala. It probably illustrates the demise of Atlantis. Since this does not fit the prevailing picture, a German archaeologist took it to Germany, where it was “accidentally” destroyed in the Second World War -- Continue reading: the amazing Egyptian and Greek connections to Atlantis.

II. Updates about Cuba's underwater megalithic research

• "They (megalithic stones) are very unique structures. They really are not easy to understand and I do not have any easy explanation for them in a natural geological process." - Manuel Iturralde-Vinent, Ph.D., Geologist, National Museum of Natural History, Havana, Cuba

Ocean engineer, Paulina Zelitsky, described their 2000 findings as follows:

• "Possibly a sunken city built in the pre-classic period and populated by an advanced civilization similar to the early Teotihuacan culture of Yucatan... Researchers using sonar equipment have discovered at a depth of about 2,200 feet (700-800 meters) a huge land plateau with clear images of what appears to be urban development partly covered by sand. From above, the shapes resemble pyramids, roads and buildings." - Source: Earthfiles May 18, 2001

Since then, I have interviewed Paulina and her husband, Paul Weinzweig, several times about the evolution of their research and goal to get a specially built robot down to the megalithic site which could have lights for videotaping and drilling equipment to sample from the megalithic stone structures.

The couple operates the Advanced Digital Communications known as ADC in Canada and Havana which contracts to perform deep ocean research.

Originally, ADC had hoped to have a robot on the ocean floor by the summer of 2002, but its cost of $2 million has been an obstacle. So far, the National Geographic Society continues to express interest in adding its resources and media production efforts to the exploration, but to date no official contract has been signed.

So, Paulina and Paul have taken on other assignments to pay bills while periodically sending remote operated vehicles known as ROVs down to pick up small rocks that lay on thick sand around the large megalithic stone "structures."

Some of those samples have gone to geologist Manuel Iturralde-Vinent, Ph.D., who works for Cuba's National Museum of Natural History in Havana. Since early spring 2002, Dr. Iturralde-Vinent has studied side-scan sonar images and videotape from the half-mile-deep site and has concluded that he cannot assign a completely natural geological explanation for the large, rectangular-shaped rocks that stand up on a vast, white field of deep sand spread over 20 square kilometers.

However, he is waiting for the first analyses of rock samples expected around July 19th. Until then, he is reserving opinion about the composition of the megalithic structures. However, Paulina Zelitsky describes the structures are polished granite not indigenous to either Cuba or the Yucatan.

This week I talked with both Paulina Zelitsky and Dr. Iturralde-Vinent about their current research and theories about what might have happened off the extreme northwestern Cuba peninsula known as Guanahacabibes.

III. Interviews:

Paulina Zelitsky, Ocean Engineer, Advanced Digital Communications, Havana, Cuba:

Paulina Zelitsky at her computer in Havana studying a pyramidal-shaped stone videotaped at the half mile deep site in July 2001 by her ADC remote operated vehicle (ROV).

Samples that we recovered from the ocean bottom have justified our structures that we call megalithic structures. The samples are granite stone, completely polished, with some incrustations of fossils. Fossils of organic creatures that normally live on the surface, not on the ocean bottom. This is very interesting because this is evidence that the whole surface sank to the depth of 700 meters (2,297 feet, or about a half mile down).

The area has been seismically active for thousands of years. And what we find on the ocean bottom are fractures from which the magma and volcanic ash came out. From these structures we were able to delineate a configuration of the land that sank because you can see them clearly. The land that sank is very obvious from our image of the ocean bottom. And you can see bays, like harbors, and it's all at the depths of 900 and 700 meters.

Geologically, does Dr. Iturralde-Vinent and others have any idea what happened volcanically? Was it one large eruption or series of eruptions?

Series of eruptions and as he is saying, it is still active. A series of eruptions that created major tectonic movement to such a degree that land is sinking. For example, Cuba has sank and re-emerged a couple of times! But that was long ago, geologically. Now, what happened more recently geologically is that land sank that joined to Yucatan ­ islands between Yucatan and Cuba, they sank.

Also, geologically and botanically in terms of organic life, Yucatan and Cuba ­ the extreme northwestern part of Cuba which is Peninsula Guanahacabibes are completely identical. Completely identical. It's the same limestone and the same organic life and the same botanic and animal represented.

It's very obvious that land that was joining that is now on ocean bottom is land that was joining Yucatan and Cuba. But this land was sinking because of tectonic movement which were occurring.

Of course, earthquakes and volcanoes were accompanying the tectonic movements. Tectonic movement is not something that moves softly. It is always accompanied by dramatic volcano and earthquake activity.

But we saw on ocean bottom where the bays and coastal lines of the island that sank. We think there was a series of islands between Cuba and the Yucatan. There could have been sinking 15,000 years ago.

One area between the fractures. Not on the fractures. It is between the fractures was left undisturbed and just sank flat without fractures. On this area, we can observe those megalithic structures, or constructions. And they have completely different and independent delineation from geological faults, from our geology of the sunken land, or the geology of island Cuba. Completely independent delineation of their own.

As if they came from some place else?

We don't know yet. But it obviously didn't come from Cuba. That's one thing. The stone we recovered from ocean bottom is very polished granite. All of the peninsula of northwest part of Cuba, all of this peninsula is limestone, very fractured limestone. So, geologically, it (megalithic granite structures) is totally foreign to Cuba. But it's also not known in Yucatan because Yucatan is also limestone, not granite. Granite is found only in the center of Mexico.

It covers approximately a beautiful, beautiful, flat, clean area. Nothing else in this area. And it covers approximately 20 square kilometers of this area. It's flat, completely flat. Huge white silicon field. In the middle of all of that are these megalithic structures surfacing out of it.

What is the scientific consensus so far about how 20 square kilometers could get down a half mile?

The whole island sank. Probably what we think happened is that Cuba and Yucatan at one historical time were both joined. But little by little, this land was fractured into islands and sank to the ocean bottom. So, the land on which we discovered megalithic structures sank somewhere between 15,000 and maybe 50,000 years ago, which is quite recent geologically.

What for you is the next most important step you can take to collect one or more samples directly from the megalithic structures?

I wouldn't be able to do any serious work without a robot to that is working on ocean floor because I need stability in order to be able to make an opening in the megalithic structures. We need to make an opening to enter. National Geographic is interested in investigating the site with submersibles. So that might be another opportunity.

Do the submersibles have the ability to drill into stone?

No. Submersibles don't. They just have the ability to observe with human eyes. Or videotape. Or video camera, yeah. But it must be operated by humans.

If you can get the special robot constructed and down there that costs $2 million, you would be able to photograph with good light and be able to drill into a megalithic structure?

Oh, yes. I would be able to make opening and enter inside the structures. What I am the most interested in doing is to enter inside because if there are some artifacts, they should be inside the structures and not outside.

Then if National Geographic, or other interested organization, can get funding together, you might be able to go forward full time on research and get the robot down to both photograph and drill into the structures?

Yes, that's right. And discover a completely new page in our history."

Manuel Iturralde-Vinent, Ph.D., Geologist, National Museum of Natural History, Havana, Cuba, who presented a scientific paper about the deep water megalithic structures in March 2002 at an International Geophysical meeting in Havana:

"I do not yet know if the megalithic structures are granite. I have been working with the data provided by Paulina for three months and I have been observing the side-scan sonar images, the video images with some samples recovered from different places within the area with the megalithic stones are and also from an area located to the south of this region.

My impression is first that the structures that are in the megalithic area at the 600 to 700 meter depths, I cannot explain these structures by any geological means right now. So, I am not sure that I can find a geological explanation for the origin of these structures.

So I'm clear ­ the structures don't fit into any natural explanation currently?

Yeah, we think that in natural geological terms, I cannot give a logical explanation now. So, I am not telling that they are artificial, but what I say is right now I don't have a good explanation as to the origin by natural cause of these structures. They might have an artificial origin.

But in this case, we are opening into a very interesting situation because given the depth of this structures and if we calculate the timing when these might have been uplifted, it will take us up to 50,000 years ago. (Meaning, when the land mass now down a half mile might have been above sea level.)

This is if we follow the rules of the normal tectonic movement as we have been recording them in the past 100 years in Cuba. But these figures are well known in the world. More or less, the sea floor can move down as quickly as 16 millimeters a year. That's one of the very interesting issues that are related to this discovery.

Meaning that the area is still active seismically and you are seeing that parts of Cuba are still sinking.

Current geological knowledge and data indicates that the area is still very active and sinking even now. We are not done with this research. We need to still do more research, collect more samples, provide more observation to be sure about what we are talking about. But something is very safe to say now is that we are not dealing with blocks that have been falling down from the slope. They (megalithic stones) are very unique structures.

They really are not easy to understand and I do not have any easy explanation for them in a natural geological process. That's my conclusion now. I need more time and more data before going forward."
