When the UFO-ing gets tough, the tough get UFO-ing: How a Billy Ocean gig may have sparked alien invasion fears in Twickenham
When the UFO-ing gets tough, the tough get UFO-ing: How a Billy Ocean gig may have sparked alien invasion fears in Twickenham
Billy Ocean: Sparked UFO fears after Isleworth concert
A Billy Ocean concert may have inadvertently sparked fears of an alien invasion in Twickenham, after mysterious lights were seen in the sky.
Residents were left flummoxed by the "weird lights" which appeared above the town last night but it seems it may have been caused by the Isleworth gig.
Richmond Council said the lights were unlikely to be from Twickenham stadium but said the strange lights could have been from the Redlees Park gig in, which used lasers.
SEPTEMBER 15 UPDATE: An England 2015 spokesman has confirmed it has "undertaken a few lighting tests" at the stadium and said this could be the source of the strange lights.

Stephen Hawking Wants To Hurry Up And Find Aliens Already
Stephen Hawking Wants To Hurry Up And Find Aliens Already
GETTY IMAGE
Stephen Hawking, along with a group called Breakthrough, launched two initiatives in July to try to find alien life elsewhere in the universe. Yuri Milner, a Russian billionaire, is bankrolling the project.
The first part is called Breakthrough Initiative, and will see $100 million invested to search the skies using the Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia and the Parkes Observatory in New South Wales, Australia. It will be 50 times more sensitive than previous searches, and cover 10 times more space than anyone has ever tried before. That starts in 2016.
The second part of the initiative is called “Breakthrough Message” and will offer prizes totaling $1 million to whomever can come up with the best message to send in to space, in case alternate lifeforms are listening to Earth. Details of the competition have not yet been released, but according to the Breakthrough Initiatives website, they promise not to beam any messages in to space until “a wide-ranging debate at high levels of science and politics on the risks and rewards of contacting advanced civilizations” has taken place.
The astronomers and philosophers at SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) are now entering the contest. At a conference in Leeds last week, they discussed how the content of this message needs to be updated from what NASA sent up aboard the Pioneer 10 spacecraft in the ’70s. According to Jill Stuart at the London School of Economics:
“We really need to rethink that with any messages we are sending out now. Attitudes have changed so much in just 40 years. I would be uncomfortable with sending out any images or messages that include Western-dominated material.”
She’s referring to this plaque (which was developed by Carl Sagan) that was included with Pioneer 10, which finished its 30-year mission to Jupiter in 2002:
If alien life exists, we’re not even sure it’ll have eyesight like ours that will let them see 2D pictures. Should we send them math formulas? Music? The SETI group had a hard time deciding if they’d even enter the competition, because some dudes have watched Predator way too many times.
“…the thinking was that the silence in the skies might be because alien civilizations are hiding from us, and that it might be stupid to attract attention,” said Anders Sandberg.
The nearest star system that could possibly hold life is 10 light years away, which means it could take at least 20 years for any missive we send out to space to reach the first group of maybe aliens. So sending up memes is right out, everyone. (I hope at least three of you just sadly closed the browser tab you were going to Rick Roll E.T. with.)

Drones Are the New UFOs
Drones Are the New UFOs
Despite headlines suggesting that it's only a matter of time until a drone crashes into a plane, the truth is we know very little about just how pervasive close calls between drones and airplanes are, and we know very little about the severity or risk of such incidents.
Last month, the Federal Aviation Administration released data showing that airplane pilots made 678 reports of drone sightings and near misses since the beginning of the year, roughly three times more than the total number of sightings in all of 2014.
The narrative surrounding this report was predictable: The FAA said that "pilot reports of close calls with drones soar in 2015," a USA Todayop-ed demanded the FAA "ground drones" before "inevitable bloodshed," and the Washington Post led with a story about a "swarm of small rogue drones" that "disrupted air traffic across the country on a scale previously unseen in US skies."
A "large vulture," a "fast moving gray object," a "mini blimp," a "red UAS or balloon," and "a UFO" were all classified as drones in the FAA's report.
Few news organizations truly delved into the FAA's actual data (our own report noted that the FAA has been prone to exaggeration in the past), partially because, often, there's little to follow up on in terms of local news reports or finalized findings on any given incident. This leads to large numbers of "sightings" being miscategorized and drone sightings being construed as truly close calls, according to a new analysis of the data by the Academy of Model Aeronautics. By releasing raw, preliminary information with no follow up or analysis, the FAA’s report is flawed at best, misleading at worst.
The AMA is a hobbyist group with 140,000 members. It has the interests of drone pilots in mind, but has traditionally worked very closely with the FAA and is generally considered to be a fair and reasonable entity—in fact, many drone pilots believe that the AMA sides with the FAA too often.
According to the AMA’s analysis, since November 2014, there have been only 10 incidents in which airplanes had to take evasive maneuvers to avoid a drone, which is just 1.3 percent of all incidents reported by the FAA. The mere fact that a pilot sees a drone does not mean the drone operator was doing anything wrong or that the manned aircraft is automatically put at risk; the AMA notes that many drones could have been flying with FAA permission or within the FAA guidelines.
These numbers are significant, but without further information, it’s impossible to say how outside the norm this actually is. We don’t know how often, for instance, pilots attempt to evade birds, but we can guess that it’s probably much more often than with drones: In 2013, there were 11,399 reported plane-bird collisions.
Most importantly, in more than a dozen of the sightings, pilots said they weren't sure what they saw: One pilot said he saw what looked like a "large vulture;" others saw a "fast moving gray object," a "mini blimp," a "red UAS or balloon," and, in one case, a pilot saw "a UFO." These objects were all classified as drones in the FAA's report.
"It seems the term 'drone' has become the new UFO, applying to everything from balloons and birds to model rockets and mini blimps," the AMA wrote.
The current strategy of lumping nearly all aircraft (and sometimes bird) sightings in a single report about near misses with "unmanned aerial systems" isn't doing anyone any favors, the AMA argues. The drone industry is currently trying to police reckless fliers with a mix of education campaigns and hardware geofencing, which restricts where drones can fly. Chris Anderson, CEO of 3D Robotics, which is one of the largest hobby drone manufacturers, said he's trying to put an end to the "mass jackassery" that's come as drones become more popular.
According to the AMA report, at least 20 percent of the FAA's cases are never referred to law enforcement, and fines and arrests are rare, meaning there's little incentive for anyone to worry about flying recklessly.
“These are a very few bad actors, they're irresponsible hobbyists that are ruining it for the rest of the industry,” Lisa Ellman, a drone policy lawyer at the firm Hogan Lovells who used to work on drone issues in the Obama administration told me. “It's in everyone's best interests for there to be enforcement against these bad actors.”
But the FAA has been slow to get its official drone regulations on the books. In the meantime, enforcement has been rare and seemingly random.
Besides UFOs, the FAA's report includes incidents involve military drones that cost millions of dollars, generally fly fully integrated into the national air traffic control system, and, well, are totally different things than the drones you can buy for a couple hundred bucks on Amazon.
What we're left with, then, is a report that tells us very little about what's happening in the skies. In fact, it tells us very little about what pilots are even seeing.
"The FAA’s lack of analysis makes it more difficult for the broader community, whether recreational or commercial, to easily identify the most serious safety risks and work toward advancing solutions," the AMA wrote. "There is a flattening of perception that every report is just as important as the next, which clearly isn’t the case."
These shape shifting UFO are seen around the world, but most often around July and August of every year. They are marked by the bumps on them that change positions and by the microbe-like appearance. They are most often mistaken for stars, but when you look through a camera, they are never just round. This one is unusually close, but it may be his monster zoom he's got on his camera. The fact that he felt a presence as if someone was watching him is a fact that is sometimes reported by eyewitnesses. This is a living entity that is observing the people below. What a remarkable sighting. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness States: I got up this morning at about 2 am, awoken by a strange dream. Somewhere around 5 am I noticed that there was a strange round object in the sky. I thought at first it was the reflection of my computer off the window. But then something else strange happened, I felt an odd presence watching me somehow, like a beam coming through the window, and then I grabbed a camera and started recording. And this is what I saw looking northeast.
00:29 – I zoom in on what at appears to be a star. 1:34 – It looks like a flaming ball. 3:43 – I pull back and zoom in on it again. 5:42 – I pull back as it becomes a fiery triangle. 8:05 – I zoom back in on it and it has become an object that looks like a planet or a molecule. 9:50 – It becomes more angular and bright. 15:00 – I zoom in and it starts to look like a molecule, or perhaps the death star, or a jellyfish, or a popover, or the planet Saturn or…I’m not sure what.
Now I’m sure the scientists among you will provide me with whatever reasonable explanation there is, provided that meteors, or distant planets, or nuclear explosions in space can be thought of as reasonable. I myself was somewhat sleep deprived and looked upon whatever phenomenon was occurring with a sense of mystical appreciation and wonder. Perhaps it’s a planet, since Venus and Jupiter and Mars are visible this month in the eastern sky. Perhaps it is a star, and this is what a nuclear explosion in space looks like, which also might make sense. Maybe it’s a meteor flying though space. It does look a planet, for a while at least. And then it changes, becomes more liquid, becomes more fiery, seems to breathe and change shape, and does appear to be burning, and sort of beating like heart. Then it becomes more molecular, changes shapes again, and so on. At one point after I had concluded this video and was uploading it, I looked through the camera again, zooming in on the light source and it shuffled thorough a rapid series of geometric shape changes, square, triangle, hexagon and so on. This alas is not shown in the video. All that said, what is this? If you have an idea, please leave a comment and let me know.

Easy Rider Passes Off Real Message About Aliens Over The Last 70 Years, July 14, 1969, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Easy Rider Passes Off Real Message About Aliens Over The Last 70 Years, July 14, 1969, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of movie: July 14, 1969 Title of movie: Easy Rider Writer of movie: Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda, Terry Southern How do you pass on a message about aliens to millions all at the same time without having government men stop you? Movies right? Well, they did just that in the America classic movie Easy Rider. Apparently one of the writers got some inside information about aliens, because every freaking word that Jack Nicholson says is 100% on the mark. I could find no flaws in anything he said. I can find dozens of references of evidence to back up every accusation he has made. There were three writers of the script, Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda and Terry Southern. One of these people had inside information about aliens and how they are influencing the world today. I knew about everything he said already, but even today, most people don't know even 5% of it. So, how did they know it then? Every word, every sentence was logically written to expose the alien influence over the last 70 years. In the scene, Jack Nicholson explains how aliens have influence humanity over the last 70 years and how humanity will grow because of it. When Jack finishes, they look down at his joint and are in awe, because...he hadn't been smoking it and it went out. This is a rare Easter egg hidden in one of the most legendary movies in American history.

Date of interview: March 2013 Location of alien interaction: Nellis AFB, Nevada, USA News Source:http://www.openminds.tv/man-claims-on-au-tv-us-worked-with-ets-948 Now maybe some of you have seen this before, but its new to me and very pertinent to understand several things. He tells us about 3 alien species he worked with. He also tells us about the whites, which would explain why I find so many white ceramic-like structures with dark windows on Earths moon. Its worth listening to, and learning about. Lets keep an eye on Ellis AFB. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com News states: Charles James Hall, a Vietnam Veteran, has given a fascinating interview on an Australian news morning show, where he claimed that he had worked with Aliens in the Nellis Nevada Air Force base. He was stationed in the Airforce for more than two years and during that period of time he claims that he was in contact with three different species of Alien. The ones that he calls White aliens, the Grey Aliens of Roswell and a race called the Nordics that look like humans. The white aliens could live up to 700 years, reminding us of the old testament and other ancient texts which have mentioned such long life spans. According to Charles, the US government agreed to give Aliens temporary residence at the Nellis Air Force base. The government was willing to give them anything they required for technology transfer.

Donut UFO Passes Over Traffic At De Pinte, Belgium On Aug 18, 2015, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: August 18, 2015 Location of sighting: De Pinte, Belgium
This UFO was over the a small town with a population of 10,235, so its no wonder there wasn't more videos of it. I enlarged this UFO in each of the three screenshots I took, and found something unusual. Each close up I made has an aura around it, which shows the hole in the middle is smaller that it looks and the sides are much farther out than we can see. This UFO is using some kind of tech to make itself look smaller than it is. This is proof that it is an actual UFO. Do you remember the old stories about UFOs in photos looking fuzzy, due to their propulsion systems? There you go. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com PS, I checked this guy out. He is a UFO hunter, but posts only his own catches and is 100% legit. SCW
UFO Witnesses Share The Same UFO Sighting Decades Later
UFO Witnesses Share The Same UFO Sighting Decades Later
Symbolic picture
North Central Ohio is very curious about UFO stories. News Journal received a lot of calls after publishing a story on Sunday about a well-known UFO incident that happened on October 18, 1973, in the Mansfield area. An investigator wants to talk to the witnesses about what happened that night.
A handful of present and past residents contacted the newspaper and Mutual UFO Network investigator Terry Hamilton.
No one could identify the aerial object that fall day over four decades ago. But many remember the event vividly because it was very strange to them.
Brian Stevens, who was 13 at that time, said he saw an orange ball hovering and reflecting the light of the setting sun. Steven was looking at Westbrook Country Club when he saw the strange floating object.
Later that night, Glenn Stout was taking a break from his job at Mansfield Tire. He was on the back dock standing with some coworkers when he saw an unusual light travelling toward and almost colliding with a helicopter above the Westbrook Country Club area.
After that sighting, he saw a news story about a UFO that interfered with the flight path of an Army Reserve helicopter above Mansfield. He was sure the news was talking about the same incident he had witnessed. On the same month, he claimed to have received surprisingly low bill amounting $4 only. He wondered whether the object had something to do with it.
Judith Hamm was outside a home earlier in the day near Pavonia when she noticed a plane flying toward another plane, but the object veered away and vanished. Hamm said she nearly screamed because she thought a collision was coming.
Hamm said that she thought that the object was a military aircraft at first but realized it wasn’t because it moved faster than any plane and performed a strange manoeuvre.
Although technically a UFO refers to any unidentified flying objects, most people connect the term as synonymous with alien space vehicle. An unidentified flying object is a kind of anomaly inside sky that is not acknowledgeable to the observer. Although a small proportion stays unexplained, nearly all sightings can be a natural phenomenon or even man-made objects. On the other side, there are governmental and military personnel claiming that the sightings people are experiencing are just technological advancements tested in secrecy.
In a creepy footage recorded by Carole Thorpe, there was a fireball hovering over a lake in the night sky. The balls appear to be orange in the shade at an unusual speed. Are they aliens? Alternatively, a sunlight reflecting a satellite? In every investigation, you need to critically and thoroughly examine the actual evidence. Bear in mind that the more evidence that is being confirmed as unreliable, the greater the doubt as to its validity.
According to Carole Thorpe, the strange object is moving in a purposeful line beginning from the South up to North. Based on the footage, the object was shaking, and the lights were flickering intermittently. The footage was being recorded in the Grayslake Village, Illinois at 9 pm. According to the people surrounding her, there were numerous reports from different witnesses about the mysterious flying object that night. Of course, it could not be a lantern or a meteor as they have entirely different looks. There was also no sound.
Regardless of what people believe, mysterious sightings are still regular occurrences. In fact, such sightings being caught on the video have been reported in mainstream media outlets across the globe. Whatever your beliefs are, it is only a matter of time before irrefutable evidence of unidentified flying objects is being proven. Are you ready?
In the distant past, Antarctica is believed to have been a thriving content very different from what we see today. Some even believe, that ancient civilizations might have prospered on this once great continent, which is today, hidden beneath layers of ice and snow. Today, Antarctica is a nearly inhospitable place on Earth and everything that might have existed in the distant past on Antarctica lies hidden beneath the snow. There are countless legends that are connected with Antarctica, some of them speak about incredible pyramids hidden across the harsh landscape, secret underground facilities where the impossible comes to life and some even believe that somewhere, on Antarctica, lies the entrance to the mythical land of "Shangri-La", a paradise located in the interior of the Earth. UFO stories aren't something uncommon when it comes to Antarctica, and in this article, we discuss a possible UFO crash site that has been found with the help of Google Earth.
If you really believe that all of this are just legends and fairytales you should probably take a moment and use Google Earth and visit Antarctica for yourself. All of a sudden science fiction stories come a step closer to reality, as you will find many unexplained things which are easily identifiable on the white surface.
Russian researcher Valentin Degterev used google Earth and might have found an actual UFO crash-site on Antarctica. As Degterev was looking at Antarctica's landscape he came across a huge unidentified object half buried in the snow. Degterev came across this mysterious object a couple of years ago, but according to Degterev, this object crashed on Earth in the distant past, possibly millions of years ago. After publishing the images of the alleged UFO on social media, the news went viral all over the world.
Degterev stated: "I think it's a huge flying disc-shaped machine buried in the frozen ice, I found the mysterious object using Google Earth while looking at Antarctica. Amid the endless ice desert, it is a genuine UFO in its most classic form."
The Russian "researcher" also disclosed the coordinates where he had found the object so that anyone can check it out and form their opinion. Here are the coordinates: 80 ° 34'08.4 "S 30 ° 05'19.3" W. According to Degterev the UFO is about 20 meters wide and 70 meters long, ruling out the possibility that it was a natural formation like a cliff or a large crack, and could not be a polar station, a crashed plane, or a lost boat.
Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual, said: ‘It’s hard to tell if this a “classic” saucer sticking out of the ice, or whether it is a break in the ice.
‘Antarctica has a long tradition of being the resting place of crashed saucers or a base for their operations.’
Degterev went further and stated that the mysterious object definitely had a metallic body and was not made of rock or stone. But Andrew Fleming, a researcher at the British Antarctic Survey told the Daily Mail Online that the object was clearly a large crack in the floor of Antarctica. "Its a crevasse. A crevasse is a lot of ice formed by differential movement of the ice,' he said.
'They can be tens of metres deep. It's one large slot, nothing unusual, but they are spectacular. It's certainly not a UFO, though.'
What are your thoughts, is this an actual UFO that crashed on Antarctica in the distant past? Or is it just a crevasse as some experts suggest? Let us know what you think.

What Would Aliens Actually Look Like? We Asked 7 Experts
What Would Aliens Actually Look Like? We Asked 7 Experts
Movies and TV shows would have us believe aliens would look a bit like us, only with a big (bald) head, green skin, and crazy eyes. Don't believe it.
Movies and TV shows would have us believe aliens would look a bit like us, only with a big (bald) head, green skin, and crazy eyes. But we weren't satisfied with that old cliche. So we decided to ask sci-fi authors, science experts, and ET buffs what they think extraterrestrials really would look like.
"Look at the incredible diversity of biotypes here on Earth, all of which evolved under the same planetary environment. I don't believe an alien species from an entirely different biochemical foundation would happen to turn out with two arms, two legs, two eyes, ears, nostrils . . . two genders, warm-blooded, and so on. But, for intelligence one would assume brain capacity, and therefore the body would need some sort of protective mechanism for the vital brain—an exoskeleton, a skull, something like that.
"To build tools they would need some kind of manipulative digits, like fingers (not necessarily an opposable thumb, maybe prehensile tentacles). There would have to be a reproductive system, but it could be budding, seeding, fission, egg laying—not necessarily live, warm-blooded birth. They would require some sort of sensory systems, the analogs of eyes, ears, smelling apparatuses. But their "eyes" would have evolved for the peak spectrum of their own sun, not necessarily ours.
"Do they live in a sea? In the clouds of a gas giant? On land? In a desert? In a jungle? They would need a way to eat or consume energy, and they would need to excrete waste. For intelligence, they'd need to communicate—by voice? Pheromones? Blinking phosphorescent patches?"
"When it comes to film and TV, it's problematic to make a race of aliens that does not resemble humans. Actors have to play these roles. What aliens look like in the real world will depend on where they evolved. An alien that evolved in interstellar space would have very different needs from an alien that evolved on an Earthlike planet.
"There is one thing that is nearly certain: an alien life form will be symmetrical. Everything we know of that grows follows a symmetrical pattern. Cut a tree in half lengthwise, the branches and roots on one side would be fairly similar to the other. The same applies to humans and all living growth, even inorganic growth such as crystals and galaxies.
"The size and shape of the alien would be determined by gravity, ambient density, and source of energy. Plantlike aliens are unlikely because photosynthesis doesn't encourage complex survival strategies. The need to chase food favors mobile life. If such life evolved in a thick atmosphere, it's likely to be a horizontal creature. A thinner atmosphere would favor the most vertical animals. Two legs and two arms are more efficient than four legs, so incorporating the rule of symmetry, it's not unlikely that aliens would have evolved just like humans: bipedal and upright.
"When we consider that 95 percent of the universe is not perceptible by our senses or technology (dark matter and energy), then it's most likely that's where the aliens are. So one might say most aliens don't look like anything because they are invisible."
"Never mind the gaunt, nearly skeletal figure with the long talons and the scorpion-like tail and the mouth full of razor teeth. Never mind the little green or gray men with oversize craniums and oversize eyes and tiny mouths. Never mind the cat-men or lizard-men or dog-men or people with blue skin and strange, tattoo-like markings or odd brow ridges or pointier ears. Why would an alien look that similar to us?
"Bilateral symmetry is actually a pretty crappy design, when you think about it. Yes, it looks nice and even but what's the point? Why have two sides exactly the same when you could have something completely different on the other side? Even the Daleks figured this one out—they had a sucker arm on one side and a laser on the other. And bipedal? Ridiculous—one good push and we fall over. Why would another world's race evolve with that exact same design flaw? Why would another world's race grow eyes and a nose and a tongue and all the other fiddly bits we have? They wouldn't.
"Living beings evolve in response to their environment. We grew opposable thumbs so we could better grasp objects. Monkeys developed prehensile tails for the same reason. We have eyes because light breaks down into the visible end of the electromagnetic spectrum here.
"But if we had occurred on a completely different world, with different temperatures and topography and flora and fauna, we would have evolved differently. And if that other world had a completely different chemical composition, so would we. All life on Earth is carbon-based, but that wouldn't be the case elsewhere. Life forms could be silicon-based or iron-based or anything else at all. They could have any number of arms and legs—or none at all.
"Perhaps life on other planets evolved without physical form or with no fixed form—perhaps there are aliens who are nothing more than sentient clouds, or who have mutable bodies that can alter to suit the needs of the moment. Maybe they can sail through space unaided, and use stellar radiation for a food source and a sensory array, detecting changes in the radiation the same way bats detect sound waves. Who needs eyes and ears when your entire being resonates? Who needs a distinct brain when your consciousness is spread throughout just like our nerve endings are with us? Why have skin when your form is held together by electrostatic shock and mental control, and can condense or expand at will?
"There are plenty of creatures here on Earth that are so astoundingly different from us that we can barely comprehend them. Try watching an octopus pull itself through a tiny crack in a glass tank sometime, or examine a tobacco hornworm, or look at a praying mantis up close. Then think about how small our planet is compared with the universe as a whole—it's like finding the weirdest shaped M&M in the bag, and then realizing that you're in an entire candy store filled with literally thousands of other kinds of candy, most of which you've never even heard of before. A real alien would be so far from anything we've ever imagined that we would barely be able to comprehend its existence. And we would seem just as completely, bafflingly bizarre to it."

'Somewhere in the universe, there must be, have been, or will be other advanced civilizations. The chances of anyone alive today seeing or even communicating with them are very slim. However, such problems should not stop us from imagining what they might be like.
"First, a real alien is bilaterally symmetrical, endothermic with excellent manipulative abilities, and has a hard container for a brain.
"Eyes? Of course. You have to see to build a civilization. The squid has better eyes than we do, and the eye seems to have evolved separately a few times at least. Our alien will have eyes that may only resemble ours superficially. A lens and iris are almost an absolute requirement. The whites do not have to be white. Neither does the iris have to be colored in anything like the way ours are. How many eyes? One just will not do. Inability to perceive distance will lead to rapid extinction. Unless you can find a good reason for it, extra eyes create evolutionary baggage and will not persist, spiders not withstanding. Eyes being important, they will be recessed and capable of being covered, as necessary. Our aliens are not likely to be bug-eyed, although we cannot totally rule that out.
"Nose? An alien must have the means to breathe. It must be symmetrical. The nose does not have to be in the middle of a face, although that is convenient for some purposes such as sharing the air pipe with a mouth for times of exertion. You can imagine other arrangements.
"Mouth? Must have means for ingestion of food. All large animals have some means to capture and swallow food. Some masticate it; others do not. Teeth are rather common on Earth but other systems of eating are possible. The problem is that plants and animals have been in an evolutionary war for millenia. We inherit the outcome of that war. Teeth were necessary to eat plants that became more fibrous, an evolutionary reaction to being eaten. There are other ways to sheer off plant food, such as what birds do. They 'chew' in their gizzards.
"Legs? Most certainly. Other means of locomotion will be relatively slow and be relegated to armored animals and of those living in holes. Neither of these lifestyles will lead naturally to greater intelligence. How many legs? In our case, we adapted the forelegs for manipulation from animals with four legs. No land animals with endoskeletons have more legs. The implication is that aliens with two legs are more likely than those with four.
"Fur? Hair? Feathers? Scales? Something else truly alien? The skin covering could be anything that makes sense. Real feathers are not so likely. Because feathers are used for flight, brains will be small. Scales are unlikely because they are particularly well-adapted for ectotherms, although a scaly sort of skin might be possible. Fur versus hair is hard to sort out because of my inherent bias. Fur has good reasons for being that are not related to intelligence. If furry, our aliens probably have short fur.
"Head? If you define head as a bony enclosure for the brain as well as the location for eyes, nose, and mouth, then it's likely. The nose could be located above or below the mouth. Above works better for swimming, but that's not a strict evolutionary requirement.
"Neck? Not at all necessary. Useful to swivel the head, but you can imagine other ways to look around. It's an annoying place for big cats to grab and strangle you with their powerful mouths.
"Arms? You must have something with which to manipulate things. Tentacles are unlikely because of their inability to perform fine manipulation. They usually have suckers on them and a very different purpose than toolmaking. The number of joints could be greater, and the direction of bend could be different.
"Fingers? You must have a way to grab tightly and a way to pick up small objects and twist and turn them. Two fingers are probably too few. Five is overkill. Three or four (as cartoon characters have) is about right. Our three joints in our fingers is about right. One would not do. Two, as with our thumbs, is unlikely."
"An octopus is a good example of an advanced-alien analogue on Earth. Octopuses are quite (probably human-level) intelligent and live in a totally alien environment (compared with ours). Evolution has had to find novel solutions to the pressures they're under—pressures completely different than those that shaped mammals on land.
"Dolphins and chimpanzees are extremely close to us—we're all mammals. The last common ancestor for humans and dolphins was around 100 million years ago, and for humans and chimpanzees was about 10 million years ago. Most of the evolutionary choices leading to intelligence were probably made before the splits occurred. The last common ancestor between mammals and octopuses is much, much further back in time, probably 800 million years ago.
"Aliens with advanced technology would have to be on land (technology needs fire to kick-start it). What we would expect in order to develop a technology comparable to ours? Hands with fingers (for delicate, precise manipulation) are important. At least two legs are needed for locomotion. If it has four legs, think centaurs—you need those hands to build things.
"You need binocular vision to judge distance (to prey). Elevated head to see predators. Eyes near the brain to reduce the time delay (or degradation) of the visual signal. Sound and smell sensors (ears and nose). Your survival chances improve if you can use all of the ways you can to detect food, mates, and predators. Living in an atmosphere means sounds and smells will arrive before the stinky, noisy predator."
"Three things are generally intrinsic about human beings: 1. We think we know everything. 2. We think everything is about us. 3. We need things to be about us in order to care. Thus, in most of our stories about aliens, the aliens come because of us (be it to kill, enslave, or study us) or to take things that are dear to us. We are also usually the first who make contact with the aliens, and they almost always look something like us or like something familiar to us.
"I believe aliens exist. However, I don't pay much mind to the little-green-men mythology. I don't think aliens have to be humanoid, carbon-based, or even alive by our definition of alive. Human beings aren't made to survive in space. If aliens arrive on Earth here, it means they have survived in space and have the means to adapt to our atmosphere. I think it highly possible that they'll be nothing like us.
"In my novel Lagoon, the aliens that show up in Lagos, Nigeria, are fundamental shape-shifters with consciousness and control all the way to the molecular level, and their molecules do not resemble or operate like anything Earth-based. They use matter (whatever that matter is and wherever it comes from) and they adapt to wherever they are. And their wants and needs and methods of going about their business are wholly foreign to humans.
"I don't see why aliens couldn't be microscopic, only be seen at wavelengths beyond human detection, be built in a way so outside of human understanding that to look upon them would cause one to faint. I don't think aliens have been, are, will be what we are expecting."
"Aliens with pointy ears and bumpy foreheads are a way for Hollywood to save money by applying prostheses to human beings and to move forward with the plot. It seems strange to think the truly alien would look anything at all like us. And yet there are examples of parallel evolution in nature: the eye of the octopus being identical to that of a human being a famous one. Some speculate that an alien evolved to have a civilization similar to ours would have a similar form.
"We have examples of aliens right here on Earth to look toward that might give us a hint of what an alien intelligence would look like. Octopuses and squids exhibit startlingly intelligent responses and learning, and the form of their bodies is designed for an environment alien to our own. Tentacles and large brains seems to be a fantastic form for low-gravity or aquatic environments. Creatures that may communicate by flashing colors across their skin. Science fiction has a long history of exploring hard-to-understand tentacled horrors.
"An article about the gears found in plant hoppers' legs has gotten a lot of attention online. The idea of biology and evolution already using cogs leads one to wonder what else might exist. Minds that evolved silicon circuitry through natural selection? Steampunk, radiation-powered life forms that we couldn't even approach? Thought experiments can get rather mind-boggling. Nature always surprises.
"Talking and reacting to alien behavior will be the hardest. We already struggle to keep patient enough to understand other cultures and differences within our own human cultures. Dolphins, octopuses, elephants—these all seem to be higher-order thinkers, yet we cannot communicate well with them nor do we particularly share the planet well. What will an alien encounter be like? How will their actions seem?
"In short, I'd assume things would be easily misunderstood, as we all come with an existing load of baggage about such an encounter. And their actions will depend a great deal on the environs they come from, and the nature of their groups. Are they solitary? Or prefer herds or small bands? What would be the mind of an intelligent predator who normally lives alone? If we do find other life, I have to assume that it would hint that a great deal of life is possible. We may encounter all of the above. Creatures like us, and yet so different from us we can barely understand them. It might be a plethora of minds and body types, much like the world is filled now with a wide variety of intelligences and forms. It might be quite overwhelming . . ."
UFO expert says mystery surrounding extraterrestrial life is close to being unravelled

CHASE Kloetzke is adamant we are not alone — and says ufologists are close to lifting the lid on the mystery surrounding extraterrestrial life.
The leading American UFO investigator said mainstream science had opened up the door for ufologists to investigate physical traces of alien activity.
But she said it would take a big event such as Victoria’s Westall case in 1966 to reveal the full scope of the paranormal world — not the government revealing what it knows.
“I believe 100 per cent the government is covering up UFO activity,” she told the Sunday Herald Sun.
They are walking among us International UFO Congress gathers
“One of the theories behind this is that they figured humanity couldn’t handle the truth.
“But eventually things will filter down.
Do you think we are alone in the universe? Have your say below.
“Most of us, as ufologists, feel we are coming up to a tipping point.
“Ten years ago I was the crazy lady down the road who investigated UFOs, and now people are actually standing up and listening.
“It’s not going to be the government coming clean. It’s going to take an event. But we are closer to getting answers.”
Ms Kloetzke, deputy director of the world’s biggest UFO organisation, Mutual UFO Network, is among the top minds of ufology who have gathered in Melbourne for the Edge of Reality Ufology conference.
About 130 people attended the conference at the Jasper Hotel in the CBD.
It is her first time in Australia and she said she feels like she is “in heaven” as the country is known for some of the most anomalous cases.
She said Australia was unique with its big open spaces that seemed to attract more UFOs.
Ms Kloetzke, author of Admissible: The Field Manual for investigating UFOs, Paranormal Activity and Strange Creatures, as well as children’s book Are Aliens Really Real, said UFO sightings and alien encounters were “escalating” with about 900 cases a month reported worldwide.
“’Those are just the citizens of the world that are reporting it — there’s many others who don’t,” she said.
She had one question for Victorians: “Who thinks we’re absolutely here all by ourselves?”
TOP 5 VICTORIAN CASES
The Westall UFO encounter
April 6, 1966
Playing on the sports oval at Westall High School in Clayton South, more than 200 students and teachers described witnessing a grey saucer-shaped craft with a slight purple hue fly over about 10.30am. The UFO shot over some pine trees, where it is believed to have briefly landed, leaving a mark on the ground.
The Valentich disappearance
October 21, 1978
Frederick Valentich, 20, disappeared while piloting a small aircraft over the Bass Straight from Moorabbin Airport to King Island in Tasmania. In his last radio calls, he described an unusual object hovering over the top of him. No trace of him or his Cessna was found.
The Rosedale water tank mystery
September 30, 1980
A 54-year-old farmhand on a property 8km from Rosedale in the Gippsland region woke at 1am to a screeching noise — and the cattle clearly distressed — and went outside to investigate. He described a dome object with a white top and orange underneath with circular windows or lights, hovering around a 10,000-gallon open-topped water tank. The UFO landed beside the tank, leaving a ring mark on the grass. The next day the full tank was mysteriously empty.
The Burkes Flat “bent headlight beams”
April 4, 1966
Around 8pm, Ron Sullivan witnessed an unusual object putting on a light display in a paddock while driving along Dunolly-St Arnaud Rd, near Bourkes Flat in central Victoria. He said his car’s headlights bent towards the UFO, causing him to veer off the road and almost hit a tree. Two days later, another driver died after hitting the tree Mr Sullivan had swerved to miss. Researchers ponder if that driver experienced the same phenomena.
The Kelly Cahill encounter
August 8, 1993
Mother Kelly Cahill was driving home with her husband and three children in the Dandenong foothills, near Belgrave, when they noticed the lights of a rounded craft with windows just after midnight. She recalls her whole family being abducted by aliens and how they controlled their minds and performed embarrassing procedures on them.

Is dit een gecrashte UFO? Vreemde vorm op Google Maps stelt speurneuzen voor raadsel
Is dit een gecrashte UFO? Vreemde vorm op Google Maps stelt speurneuzen voor raadsel
Internetspeurneuzen zijn ervan overtuigd dat in de sneeuw op de Zuidpool de resten van een gecrashte UFO kunnen worden gezien op Google Maps.
De coördinaten van de crashplek werden veelvuldig gedeeld op sociale media nadat een Russische UFO-enthousiasteling ze op internet had gezet. Als je de plek zelf wilt bekijken, voer je in Google Maps de volgende coördinaten in: 80°34’08.4″S 30°05’19.3″W.
Valentin Degretev zei op een Russische sociale mediasite dat het object lijkt op een ‘klassieke’ vliegende schotel. “Het is zeker geen poolstation of vliegtuig, omdat er geen vliegtuigen of helikopters zijn die zo groot zijn,” zei hij. Degterev schat dat het object een doorsnee heeft van zo’n 62 meter.
Het bevroren landschap van Antarctica strekt zich uit over een gebied van 14 miljoen kilometer. Velen geloven dan ook dat mensen er nooit achter komen als er daadwerkelijk een UFO zou landen op de Zuidpool. Ruwweg 98 procent van het continent is bedekt met een dikke laag ijs.
Anderen zijn sceptisch over de claim dat de vorm een gecrashte UFO is. Het zou bijvoorbeeld een scheur in het ijs of een kloof kunnen zijn.

VIDEO: België in de ban van vreemd cirkelvormig object
Een automobilist heeft op dinsdag 18 augustus boven De Pinte in de Belgische provincie Oost-Vlaanderen een cirkelvormig object vastgelegd met zijn dashcam. Het Belgische UFO-meldpunt is op zoek naar getuigen van de voorlopig onverklaarbare UFO-melding.
“We kregen deze oproep vorige week binnen en konden na verder onderzoek besluiten dat het object een diameter van één meter heeft. We dachten onmiddellijk aan een luchtballon, maar wie laat die nu op om half 10 in de ochtend. Een drone kan, maar daarvoor verplaatst het object zich waarschijnlijk te traag,” zegt Frederick Deleare van het meldpunt.
Het object bewoog van het zuidwesten naar het noordoosten. De beelden van de dashcam zijn van goede kwaliteit en daarom wil het UFO-meldpunt dit geval grondiger onderzoeken. Om dit vreemde verschijnsel te kunnen verklaren zijn er meer getuigenissen of beelden nodig.
Heb je dit object gezien of op video vastgelegd, dan kun je dat hier laten weten.
“Ik weet 100 procent zeker dat de overheid UFO-activiteit onder de pet houdt”
“Ik weet 100 procent zeker dat de overheid UFO-activiteit onder de pet houdt”
Een vooraanstaande UFO-expert heeft gezegd dat het mysterie rond buitenaards leven spoedig zal worden ontrafeld. Chase Kloetzke zei dat de wetenschappelijke gemeenschap de deur heeft geopend voor het onderzoek naar fysieke sporen van aliens. Dat meldt de Australische krant Sunday Herald Sun.
Om de omvang van de paranormale wereld te onthullen moet er volgens Kloetzke iets gebeuren zoals in Westall in de Australische staat Victoria in 1966. Op 6 april dat jaar waren meer dan 200 leerlingen en leraren van twee scholen getuige van een onbekend vliegend object dat in een weiland landde.
Kantelpunt
“Ik weet 100 procent zeker dat de overheid UFO-activiteit onder de pet houdt,” zei de plaatsvervangend directeur van MUFON, de grootste UFO-organisatie ter wereld. “Eén van de redenen hiervoor zou zijn dat ze denken dat de mensheid de waarheid niet kan accepteren.”
De expert zei dat het voor de meeste ufologen is alsof we een kantelpunt naderen. Ze zei verder dat ze 10 jaar geleden werd gezien als een gekke vrouw die onderzoek deed naar UFO’s, maar nu luisteren mensen aandachtig en gaan ze zelf op onderzoek uit.
Grote gebeurtenis
Kloetzke legde uit dat we weinig van de overheid hoeven te verwachten en dat er een grote gebeurtenis moet plaatsvinden. De mensheid komt steeds dichter in de buurt van de waarheid, zei ze. Overal ter wereld zijn er mensen die claimen dat aliens echt bestaan.
Volgens Kloetzke, die in Melbourne was voor de Edge of Reality Ufology-conferentie, ‘escaleert’ het aantal waarnemingen van UFO’s en aliens. Wereldwijd worden er 900 gevallen per maand gemeld. “En dat zijn alleen nog maar burgers die er melding van maken, veel anderen doen dat niet,” zei ze.
Graham Hancock: “Hoogontwikkelde beschaving op Antarctica weggevaagd door komeet”
Graham Hancock: “Hoogontwikkelde beschaving op Antarctica weggevaagd door komeet”
De Britse oud-journalist Graham Hancock suggereert in zijn nieuwe boek Magicians of the Gods dat een komeet met een doorsnee van 30 kilometer binnen 15 jaar de aarde kan verwoesten.
Hancock, voormalig correspondent voor The Economist, zegt dat zijn boek bewijst dat een hoogontwikkelde beschaving tussen 11.600 en 12.800 jaar geleden is weggevaagd door stukken van dezelfde komeet.
De auteur claimt dat de aarde in 2030 in het spoor van dezelfde komeet, genaamd Encke, terecht zou kunnen komen. Delen van de komeet draaien nog altijd in een baan die de omloopbaan van de aarde doorkruist, aldus Hancock.
Gevaar
“Astronomen menen dat een fragment van de oorspronkelijk komeet verborgen blijft en een gevaar vormt voor al het leven op aarde,” schreef hij. Hancock schreef 20 jaar geleden in Fingerprints of the Gods dat een oude beschaving, waar ook inwoners van het legendarische Atlantis deel van uitmaakten, bijna 13.000 jaar geleden door een komeet is vernietigd.
Het boek ging 9 miljoen keer over de toonbank en werd een bestseller. In het vervolg, Magicians of the Gods, zegt hij de smoking gun te hebben die bewijst dat hij al die tijd gelijk heeft gehad. “In 1995 schreef ik een boek over alle tekenen die in de richting van een verloren beschaving wezen,” zei hij. “Er miste nog een smoking gun. Die hebben we nu.”
Astronomie en wiskunde
“Een aantal papers in tijdschriften leveren bewijs dat de aarde 12.800 jaar geleden daadwerkelijk is geraakt door een komeet, precies zoals ik in mijn boek schreef,” zei Hancock.
Hij claimt dat Antarctica bijna 13.000 jaar geleden werd geraakt door een komeet. Op dat moment, duizenden jaren voordat het wiel werd uitgevonden, zou daar al een hoogontwikkelde beschaving hebben geleefd. Hancock zegt dat onze kennis over astronomie en wiskunde afkomstig is van die ‘verloren’ beschaving.
