Space Object WT1190F...Is it Alien Or Military Nuclear Missile Craft Gone Awry, Oct 2015, UFO Sighting News.
Space Object WT1190F...Is it Alien Or Military Nuclear Missile Craft Gone Awry, Oct 2015, UFO Sighting News.
This is an interesting look at the meteor thats about to hit Earth. BPEarthWatch of Youtube is talking about how WT1190F has an orbit that is sometimes with in satellite rage of Earth and as far out as 2X that of the moon. That kind of orbit should be impossible for something this light. Yes I said light since NASA dis say its long, metallic and hollow. Space junk can not orbit the earth that far out and come back on its own. Its impossible. All astronomers know this. So...what power source is it using and is it man made or alien made? If its man made, it could be a nuclear missile gone awry from some country. A missile that was meant to be launched from Earths orbit to attack other countries. No one would expect that kind of attack. I hope I'm wrong about that. Lets hope impact on Friday the 13th goes well for the area its over. I would hate to see a nuclear explosion occur. Scott C.

Evidence of Flowing Water On Mars Enough To Support Tiny Aliens
Evidence of Flowing Water On Mars Enough To Support Tiny Aliens
UFO enthusiast and hunter Scott Waring claimed to have discovered water on Mars. He said that he found evidence of running water in one of the photos from NASA’s Curiosity Rover on the red planet. In a picture that Waring specifically pointed out, a darkened trail of running water below the rocks in the hills lining the Gale Crater can be seen against the light colored sand.
NASA scientists have reported evidence of dark streaks that could be the evidence of intermittent water flows, but they still have to find actual sources of flowing water on Mars. NASA also discovered the existence of hydrated minerals in the Hale Crater region just recently.
In a statement issued last September 28, NASA scientists said that they discovered hydrated salts when seasonal features were the widest. With this finding, they concluded that the source of the hydration is either the dark streaks or the process that forms them.
Waring suspected that NASA planned to keep the discovery of flowing water on Mars a secret. The agency is also attempting to cover up the finding, but UFO hunters made the hiding and covering up attempts impossible, added Waring.
By looking at the photo with apparent marks of flowing water, Waring believes Mars has enough amount of water to sustain a race of tiny aliens, which he thinks responsible for the making of statues, walls, and other structures on the Red Planet that other UFO hunters discovered.
United States: Butterfly UFO Caught On Camera In Great Detail
United States: Butterfly UFO Caught On Camera In Great Detail
A father and son reportedly photographed and recorded a video of a strange-shaped black craft that had many lights on its underside. The two were just leaving a restaurant near Ohio-Kentucky border in the USA at around 7 p.m. local time on Saturday.
Named as Tom and Christopher, the pair allegedly said that two military helicopters followed the UFO in the same direction five minutes later.
The video, which was taken by father Tom, shows the craft gliding past slowly, but as it nearing the horizon, two small flashes of light appeared away from it and on the two sides. The photographs visibly show the aerodynamic shape as well as the lights on the underside.
But the video, posted in YouTube channel Secureteam10, has some UFO researchers believing that it was made with computer generated imagery (CGI). The channel has been previously accused fo sharing clips featuring CGI technology.
However, the owner of the channel Tyler Glockner has denied ever doing such thing deliberately. He claimed to be an honest alien researcher.
Glockner said that he called the butterfly sighting an alien craft rather than just a UFO because of the stunning detail of the structural characteristics of this aircraft. He’s very sure that this is an alien ship.
The father allegedly said they saw two military helicopters heading towards the same path as the alien craft about five minutes after while driving home in their vehicle. However, the two could not take any picture of the helicopters as they were too fast and they were driving the opposite way.
According to Glockner, the father and son both described the alien craft as eerily silent. It has glowing lights, chambers, windows, and other characteristics that do not jive with anything on Earth.
Many viewers of the video are convinced it must be an alien ship. However, others say it’s an RC glider or some other man-made flying things. There are commenters who believe it’s a CGI because of the movement of the camera that is similar to the wiggle effect in Adobe after effects.
Mathematicians state that “self-replicating” Alien probes operate in our solar system
Mathematicians state that “self-replicating” Alien probes operate in our solar system
A new statement from two mathematicians from the University of Edinburgh suggest that “Alien probes” might operate in our Solar System.
All of a sudden, the (in)famous Black Knight Satellite might be a reality? One that is supported by science.
According to scientists from the University of Edinburgh there are possibilities that “self-replicating” robotic alien spacecraft are venturing into our solar system. If this turned out to be true, these probes would be product of such highly advanced technology to our understanding, that these probes would literally appear invisible to human perception, researchers said.
The mathematicians used computing power to inform their predictions, which might not sound out of place in a sci-fi novel.
The two mathematicians analysed the possibility that probes could travel through space in a study published in the Journal of Astrobiology.
In their work, Duncan Forgan and Arwen Nicholson affirm the possibility that highly advanced alien races are taking advantage of the gravitational field of the stars to speed up “their” spacecraft travelling through space. Interestingly, this “technique” would not be something exclusive to highly advanced alien beings: in fact, we use this technology for our own spacecraft. For example, the voyager probes are making use of the gravitational field of the planets to gain speed through space.
The voyager spacecraft traveling through space
According to a mathematical analysis, a fleet of alien probes, with highly advanced technology could self-replicate constructing new realities for themselves, making use of cosmic dust and gas, dividing into parent and child probes which would set off to explore a different star, in their goal to look for signs of life and so on in their never-ending journey through the universe.
This technology is so advanced that these “alien” probes could explore any galaxy in a relatively short time. The researcher made by Duncan Forgan and Arwen Nicholson coincides with a study made by Jacob Haqq-Misra in 2011, where it is suggested that extraterrestrial objects could exist right now in our solar system without our knowledge. These objects are so advanced technologically speaking that we couldn’t even identify them even if we wanted.
The scientists said: ‘We can conclude that a fleet of self-replicating probes can indeed explore the Galaxy in a sufficiently short time…orders of magnitude less than the age of the Earth.’

NASA RECEIVES RADIO SIGNALS FROM THE CENTER OF THE EARTH?
NASA has received radio signals from the center of the earth. These signals are being picked up by tracking satellites. NASA has decoded them but won't reveal the contents. The source of this information leak states that, "They obviously know more about us than we do about them. For one thing, they have found a way to communicate with us on a regular basis, but we have little or no inkling on how to communicate with them in return."

Humans will be cyborgs within 200 years, expert predicts
Humans will be cyborgs within 200 years, expert predicts
“It will be the greatest evolution in biology since the appearance of life.”
Within the next 200 years, humans will have become so merged with technology that we’ll have evolved into “God-like cyborgs”, according to Yuval Noah Harari, an historian and author from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel.
Harari researches the history of the human species, and after writing a new book on our past, he now believes that we’re just a few short centuries away from being able to use technology to avoid death altogether – if we can afford it, that is.“
I think it is likely in the next 200 years or so Homo sapiens will upgrade themselves into some idea of a divine being, either through biological manipulation or genetic engineering of by the creation of cyborgs: part organic, part non-organic,” Harari said during his presentation the Hay Festival in the UK, as Sarah Knapton reports for the Telegraph. “It will be the greatest evolution in biology since the appearance of life … we will be as different from today’s humans as chimps are now from us.”
Obviously, we should take Harari’s predictions with a grain of salt, but while they sound more suited to science fiction than real life, they’re not actually that out-there. Many researchers believe that we’ve already started down the path towards a cyborg future; after all, many of us already rely on bionic ears and eyes, insulin pump technology and prosthetics to help us survive. And with researchers recently learning how to send people’s thoughts across the web, subconsciously control bionic limbs and use liquid metal to heal severed nerves, it’s not hard to imagine how we could continue to use technology to supplement our vulnerable human bodies further.
Interestingly, Harare’s comments came just a few days after UK-based neuroscientist Hannah Critchlow from Cambridge University got the Internet excited by saying that it could be possible to upload our brains into computers, if we could build computers with 100 trillion circuit connections. “People could probably live inside a machine. Potentially, I think it is definitely a possibility,” Critchlow said during her presentation at the festival.
But Harari warned that these upgrades may only be available to the wealthiest members of society, and that could cause a growing biological divide between rich and poor – especially if some of us can afford to pay for the privilege of living forever while the rest of the species dies out.
If that sounds depressing, the alternative is a future where instead of us taking advantage of technology, technology takes advantage of us, and artificial intelligence poses a threat to our survival, as Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, and Bill Gates have all predicted.
Either way, one thing seems pretty clear – our future as a species is now inextricably linked with the technology we’ve created. For better or for worse.

Scientist at deathbed makes shocking confessions about aliens
Scientist at deathbed makes shocking confessions about aliens
A recording has been released of the late US scientists Boyd Bushman who worked at a secret base of the United States Air Force. At that secret base, alien technology was developed and adapted for human use. According to Boyd, numerous alien bodies were studied at the facility as well. In the video, recorded shortly before his death, the Lockheed-Martin scientist shows images of alien bodies which according to him, were taken with disposable cameras at Area 51, a secret base of the Air Force in the state of Nevada.
Even though some of the details in the Biography of Bushman may seem controversial, according to British tabloid “Metro”, Bushman was an important researcher in aerospace corporation Lockheed Martin and had several highly classified patents.”As for the extraterrestrial crafts, we have United States citizens who work 24 hours a day studying UFO’s and Alien technology. We are trying to understand what we need to do.”Bushman confessions which were recorded on video are dotted with images of beings with humanoid bodies. According to the researcher, two groups of alien beings are being studied at Area 51, but there are also aliens who work in cooperation with humans.
Area 51 is an area of land located in Nevada owned by the United States government. It is popular for the fact that there, for years, numerous scientists have claimed to have been developing and testing new technologies based on alien tech, and secret military aircrafts. It is commonly known as Area 51, although the official name is Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) designation: Area 51.
According to Bushman, the alien technology is very advanced, these beings can travel at speeds much faster than light, and most of them come from planets that are located around 68 light years away from planet Earth. Bushman states that the aliens working at Area 51 are around 1.5 meters tall, they have fingers and toes just like humans but can live much longer than humans. These extraterrestrial beings are able to communicate via telepathy.
According to Bushman, scientists from Russia, China and the United States are working together at Area 51, their main research is anti-gravity technology.
Recently, Charles Bolden, NASA Administrator, confirmed the existence of infamous Area 51, but said that it does not harbor any kind of alien life or alien technology. “There’s an Area 51. But not devoted to what many people think. It’s a normal place of research and development. I never saw aliens or spaceships in it.

Does FBI memo prove aliens did crash near Roswell and were covered up?
Does FBI memo prove aliens did crash near Roswell and were covered up?
Does FBI memo prove aliens did crash near Roswell and were covered up?
UFO researchers in Japan stumbled across an FBI memo that some believe could prove the infamous Roswell flying saucer incident DID happen – and involved THREE flying saucers instead of just the suspected one.
An FBI memo that has come under scrutiny following freedom of information requests even suggests each “saucer” contained three bodies of three-foot tall aliens in the legendary “alien” incident.
The Roswell incident, in July 1947, went down in UFO folklore after the US Air Force announced it had found the remains of what was suspected of being a crashed flying saucer in the New Mexico desert near the town.
The next day it retracted the statement amid claims it was later identified as a weather balloon.
UFO chasers have forever since believed it was a major cover-up and that the US military actually discovered the craft and the bodies of alien pilots.
The FBI memo now in the spotlight, dated from 1950 – three years after the Roswell incident – said each of three “saucers” contained three bodies of three-foot tall humanoid occupants, making nine aliens in total.
Museum workers stumbled across the document as as they were preparing to open the Hakui Centre for UFO Research in the coastal city of Hakui, 310 miles west of Tokyo, Japan, back in 1994.
But it has only come to light again after subsequent documents released under the US Freedom of Information Act suggested the FBI was so concerned about the museum opening, it opened up its own file on the proposals.
The original 1950 memo suggested the US military found three metallic, saucer-shaped objects, complete with occupants, near New Mexico, in the USA.
The memo revealed US radar equipment in the area was believed to “have interfered with the saucers and brought them down”, according to the Journal Telegraph.
It said: “An investigator for the Air Forces states that three so-called flying saucers had been recovered in New Mexico.
“They were described as being circular in shape with raised centres, approximately 50 feet in diameter.
“Each one was occupied by three bodies of human shape but only three-feet tall, dressed in metallic cloth of a very fine texture.”
The memo was sent by Federal special agent Guy Hottel, who was in charge of the FBI Washington Field Office, on March 22, 1950, to then FBI Director J Edgar Hoover.

The theory of parallel universes is not just maths – it is science that can be tested
The theory of parallel universes is not just maths – it is science that can be tested
The theory of parallel universes is not just maths – it is science that can be tested
The existence of parallel universes may seem like something cooked up by science fiction writers, with little relevance to modern theoretical physics. But the idea that we live in a “multiverse” made up of an infinite number of parallel universes has long been considered a scientific possibility – although it is still a matter of vigorous debate among physicists. The race is now on to find a way to test the theory, including searching the sky for signs of collisions with other universes.
It is important to keep in mind that the multiverse view is not actually a theory, it is rather a consequence of our current understanding of theoretical physics. This distinction is crucial. We have not waved our hands and said: “Let there be a multiverse”. Instead the idea that the universe is perhaps one of infinitely many is derived from current theories like quantum mechanics and string theory.
The many-worlds interpretation
You may have heard the thought experiment of Schrödinger’s cat, a spooky animal who lives in a closed box. The act of opening the box allows us to follow one of the possible future histories of our cat, including one in which it is both dead and alive. The reason this seems so impossible is simply because our human intuition is not familiar with it.
But it is entirely possible according to the strange rules of quantum mechanics. The reason that this can happen is that the space of possibilities in quantum mechanics is huge. Mathematically, a quantum mechanical state is a sum (or superposition) of all possible states. In the case of the Schrödinger’s cat, the cat is the superposition of “dead” and “alive” states.
But how do we interpret this to make any practical sense at all? One popular way is to think of all these possibilities as book-keeping devices so that the only “objectively true” cat state is the one we observe. However, one can just as well choose to accept that all these possibilities are true, and that they exist in different universes of a multiverse.
The string landscape
String theory is one of our most, if not the most promising avenue to be able to unify quantum mechanics and gravity. This is notoriously hard because gravitational force is so difficult to describe on small scales like those of atoms and subatomic particles – which is the science of quantum mechanics. But string theory, which states that all fundamental particles are made up of one-dimensional strings, can describe all known forces of nature at once: gravity, electromagnetism and the nuclear forces.
However, for string theory to work mathematically, it requires at least ten physical dimensions. Since we can only observe four dimensions: height, width, depth (all spatial) and time (temporal), the extra dimensions of string theory must therefore be hidden somehow if it is to be correct. To be able to use the theory to explain the physical phenomena we see, these extra dimensions have to be “compactified” by being curled up in such a way that they are too small to be seen. Perhaps for each point in our large four dimensions, there exists six extra indistinguishable directions?
A problem, or some would say, a feature, of string theory is that there are many ways of doing this compactification –10500 possibilities is one number usually touted about. Each of these compactifications will result in a universe with different physical laws – such as different masses of electrons and different constants of gravity. However there are also vigorous objections to the methodology of compactification, so the issue is not quite settled.
But given this, the obvious question is: which of these landscape of possibilities do we live in? String theory itself does not provide a mechanism to predict that, which makes it useless as we can’t test it. But fortunately, an idea from our study of early universe cosmology has turned this bug into a feature.
The early universe
During the very early universe, just after the Big Bang, the universe underwent a period of accelerated expansion called inflation. Inflation was invoked originally to explain why the current observational universe is almost uniform in temperature. However, the theory also predicted a spectrum of temperature fluctuations around this equilibrium which was later confirmed by several spacecraft such as Cosmic Background Explorer, Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe and the PLANCK spacecraft.
While the exact details of the theory are still being hotly debated, inflation is widely accepted by physicists. However, a consequence of this theory is that there must be other parts of the universe that are still accelerating. However, due to the quantum fluctuations of space-time, some parts of the universe never actually reach the end state of inflation. This means that the universe is, at least according to our current understanding, eternally inflating. Some parts can therefore end up becoming other universes, which could become other universes etc. This mechanism generates a infinite number of universes.
By combining this scenario with string theory, there is a possibility that each of these universes possesses a different compactification of the extra dimensions and hence has different physical laws.
Testing the theory
The universes predicted by string theory and inflation live in the same physical space (unlike the many universes of quantum mechanics which live in a mathematical space), they can overlap or collide. Indeed, they inevitably must collide, leaving possible signatures in the cosmic sky which we can try to search for.
The exact details of the signatures depends intimately on the models – ranging from cold or hot spots in the cosmic microwave background to anomalous voids in the distribution of galaxies. Nevertheless, since collisions with other universes must occur in a particular direction, a general expectation is that any signatures will break the uniformity of our observable universe.
These signatures are actively being pursued by scientists. Some are looking for it directly through imprints in the cosmic microwave background, the afterglow of the Big Bang. However, no such signatures are yet to be seen. Others are looking for indirect support such as gravitational waves, which are ripples in space-time as massive objects pass through. Such waves could directly prove the existence of inflation, which ultimately strengthens the support for the multiverse theory.
Whether we will ever be able to prove their existence is hard to predict. But given the massive implications of such a finding it should definitely be worth the search.

Wet paleoclimate of Mars revealed by ancient lakes at Gale Crater
We have heard the Mars exploration mantra for more than a decade: follow the water. In a new paper published October 9, 2015, in the journal Science, the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) team presents recent results of its quest to not just follow the water but to understand where it came from, and how long it lasted on the surface of Mars so long ago.
The story that has unfolded is a wet one: Mars appears to have had a more massive atmosphere billions of years ago than it does today, with an active hydrosphere capable of storing water in long-lived lakes. The MSL team has concluded that this water helped to fill Gale Crater, the MSL rover Curiosity’s landing site, with sediment deposited as layers that formed the foundation for the mountain found in the middle of the crater today.
Curiosity has been exploring Gale Crater, which is estimated to be between 3.8 billion and 3.6 billion years old, since August 2012. In mid-September 2014, the rover reached the foothills of Aeolis Mons, a three-mile-high layered mountain nicknamed “Mount Sharp” in honor of the late Caltech geologist Robert Sharp. Curiosity has been exploring the base of the mountain since then.
“Observations from the rover suggest that a series of long-lived streams and lakes existed at some point between 3.8 billion to 3.3 billion years ago, delivering sediment that slowly built up the lower layers of Mount Sharp,” says Ashwin Vasavada (PhD ’98), MSL project scientist. “However, this series of long-lived lakes is not predicted by existing models of the ancient climate of Mars, which struggle to get temperatures above freezing,” he says.
This mismatch between the predictions of Mars’s ancient climate that arise from models developed by paleoclimatologists and indications of the planet’s watery past, as interpreted by geologists, bears similarities to a century-old scientific conundrum–in this case, about Earth’s ancient past.
At the time, geologists first began to recognize that the shapes of the continents matched each other, almost like scattered puzzle pieces, explains John Grotzinger, Caltech’s Fletcher Jones Professor of Geology, chair of the Division of Planetary and Geological Sciences, and lead author of the paper. “Aside from the shapes of the continents, geologists had paleontological evidence that fossil plants and animals in Africa and South America were closely related, as well as unique volcanic rocks suggestive of a common spatial origin. The problem was that the broad community of earth scientists could not come up with a physical mechanism to explain how the continents could plow their way through Earth’s mantle and drift apart. It seemed impossible. The missing component was plate tectonics,” he says. “In a possibly similar way, we are missing something important about Mars.”
As Curiosity has trekked across Gale Crater, it has stopped to examine numerous areas of interest. All targets are imaged, and soil samples have been scooped from some; the rocks in a select few places have been drilled for samples. These samples are deposited into the rover’s onboard laboratories. Using data from these instruments, as well as visual imaging from the onboard cameras and spectroscopic analyses, MSL scientists have pieced together an increasingly coherent and compelling story about the evolution of this region of Mars.
Before Curiosity landed on Mars, scientists proposed that Gale Crater had filled with layers of sediments. Some hypotheses were “dry,” implying that the sediments accumulated from wind-blown dust and sand, whereas others focused on the possibility that sediment layers were deposited in ancient streams and lakes. The latest results from Curiosity indicate that these wetter scenarios were correct for the lower portions of Mount Sharp. Based on the new analysis, the filling of at least the bottom layers of the mountain occurred mostly by ancient rivers and lakes.
“During the traverse of Gale, we have noticed patterns in the geology where we saw evidence of ancient fast-moving streams with coarser gravel as well as places where streams appear to have emptied out into bodies of standing water,” Vasavada says. “The prediction was that we should start seeing water-deposited, fine-grained rocks closer to Mount Sharp. Now that we’ve arrived, we’re seeing finely laminated mudstones in abundance.” These silty layers in the strata are interpreted as ancient lake deposits.
“These finely laminated mudstones are very similar to those we see on Earth,” says Woody Fischer, professor of geobiology at Caltech and coauthor of the paper. “The scale of lamination–which occurs both at millimeter and centimeter scale–represents the settling of plumes of fine sediment through a standing body of water. This is exactly what we see in rocks that represent ancient lakes on Earth. “The mudstone indicates the presence of bodies of standing water in the form of lakes that remained for long periods of time, possibly repeatedly expanding and contracting during hundreds to millions of years. These lakes deposited the sediment that eventually formed the lower portion of the mountain.
“Paradoxically, where there is a mountain today there was once a basin, and it was sometimes filled with water,” says Grotzinger. “Curiosity has measured about 75 meters of sedimentary fill, but based on mapping data from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and images from Curiosity’s cameras, it appears that the water-transported sedimentary deposition could have extended at least 150-200 meters above the crater floor, and this equates to a duration of millions of years in which lakes could have been intermittently present within the Gale Crater basin” Grotzinger says. Furthermore, the total thickness of sedimentary deposits in Gale Crater that indicate interaction with water could extend higher still–up to perhaps 800 meters above the crater floor, and possibly representing tens of millions of years.
But layers deposited above that level do not require water as an agent of deposition or alteration. “Above 800 meters, Mount Sharp shows no evidence of hydrated strata, and that is the bulk of what forms Mount Sharp. We see another 4,000 meters of nothing but dry strata,” Grotzinger says. He suggests that perhaps this segment of the crater’s history may have been dominated by eolian, or wind-driven, deposition, as was once imagined for the lower part explored by Curiosity. This occurred after the wet period that built up the base of the mountain.
A lingering question surrounds the original source of the water that carried sediment into the crater. For flowing water to have existed on the surface, Mars must have had a thicker atmosphere and warmer climate than has been theorized for the time frame bookending the intense geological activity in Gale Crater. Evidence for this ancient, wetter climate exists in the rock record. However, current models of this paleoclimate–factoring in estimates of the early atmosphere’s mass, composition, and the amount of energy it received from the sun–come up, quite literally, dry. Those models indicate that the atmosphere of Mars could not have sustained large quantities of liquid water.
Yet the rock record discovered at Gale Crater suggests a different scenario. “Whether it was snowfall or rain, you have geologic evidence for that moisture accumulating in the highlands of the Gale Crater rim,” Grotzinger says. In the case of Gale Crater, at least some of the water was supplied by the highlands that form the crater rim, but groundwater discharge–a standard explanation to reconcile wet geologic observations with dry paleoclimatic predictions–is unlikely in this area. “Right on the other side of Gale’s northern rim are the Northern Plains. Some have made the argument that there was a northern ocean sitting out there, and that’s one way to get the moisture that you need to match what we are seeing in the rocks.” Pinpointing the possible location of an ocean, however, does not help to explain how that water managed to exist as a liquid for extended periods of time on the surface.
As climatologists try to develop new atmospheric models, help should be coming from the continuing explorations by Curiosity. “There are still many kilometers of Mars history to explore,” says Fischer. He thinks that some of the most exciting data yet may come in the next few years as Curiosity climbs higher on Mount Sharp. “The strata will reveal Gale’s early history, its story. We know there are rocks that were deposited underwater, in the lake. What is the chemistry of these rocks? That lake represented an interface between the water and the atmosphere, and should tell us important things about the environment of the time.”
“We have tended to think of Mars as being simple,” adds Grotzinger. “We once thought of the earth as being simple, too. But the more you look into it, questions come up because you’re beginning to fathom the real complexity of what we see on Mars. This is a good time to go back to reevaluate all our assumptions. Something is missing somewhere.”

Filer’s Files #44 – 2015 President Carter Saw UFOs - PART I
Four people on Coney Island, New York saw it on October 15, 2015.
Filer’s Files #44 – 2015 President Carter Saw UFOs - PART I
In special reports, this week’s files cover: President Carter Saw UFO, President Carter Tells Shirley Maclaine about UFOs, Father of the Space Age claims UFOs are Real, Structures on the Moon, Have You Had a Close Encounter? UFOs Ships of God Bible Symbolism, Pyramids Asteroid Deflectors, Chariot of Fire in 2 Kings 2:11, April 1561 – A War In Heaven. Taurid Meteor Shower, and Ancient Origins of Halloween.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pacific Ocean, Texas, and Washington.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Ireland, Mexico, Portugal, Russia, Turkey, and England in the United Kingdom.
The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The weekly intelligence report provides you with information on the latest sightings and UFO news that you need to understand the world situation. The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force and Prince Phillip told me of his personal interest in UFOs. The US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Special Reports
President Carter Saw UFO
While Alabama Governor a reporter taped Carter’s exact words in 1973 describing the UFO sighting.
The 39th President of the U.S. Carter said, [Carter’s report stated “10 members of the Leary, Ga., Lions Club”], ‘There were about 20 of us standing outside of I believe, a high school lunchroom, and a kind of green light appeared in the western sky. This was right after sundown. It got brighter and brighter, and then eventually it disappeared. It didn’t have any solid substance to it; it was just a very peculiar looking light. None of us could understand what it was…”
Sheaffer gave the source as from the documentary recording “Factual Eyewitness Testimony of UFO Encounters” (Chicago: Investigative Research Associates, Inc. 1978)”
Attorney Dan Sheehan, who worked for President Jimmy Carter, claimed Carter had seen a UFO while in the Navy. The Carter sighting while running for governor in Georgia was apparently is second sighting.
President Carter Tells Shirley Maclaine about UFOs
According to a Larry King Show a few years ago, Actress Shirley Maclaine revealed that President Carter told her about UFO crashes and alien bodies. The transcript of this exchange started with a caller from Cocoa, Florida.
Larry King: “Cocoa Florida with Shirley Maclaine, hello”
Caller: hello, good evening Larry and Shirley
King: Hi.
Caller: About two weeks ago, Nicholas Cage was on the Letterman Show and said Shirley had told him that President Carter had told her he had seen recovered alien spacecraft and aliens in a hanger. Can you tell me exactly what President Carter said?
Maclaine: “He didn’t tell me that but he told me many times that when I first wrote “” that he would support me, that it was true, that there were crafts, that he believed there were occupants, why should we be the only people in the universe. He wanted to shine the sunshine laws on intelligence, to expose it, to see how the people would react, but he didn’t and wouldn’t and couldn’t as he explained to me.” Note: “Out On a Limb” discusses the evidence for UFOs
King: back with our remaining moments with Shirley Maclaine right after this. (Larry King Show, May 1995)
Shirley Maclaine wrote, “I think of life itself now as a wonderful play that I’ve written for myself, and so my purpose is to have the utmost fun playing my part.”
Father of the Space Age claims UFOs are Real
Hermann Oberth, considered by some to be one of the fathers of the space age, who developed rockets for Germany and later worked in the US with Wernher von Braun, the Army Ballistic Missile Agency and NASA, stated the following in 1954: [3]
“It is my thesis that flying saucers are real and that they are space ships from another solar system.” Perhaps of more interest to our present discussion on propulsion, he then stated that: “They are flying by the means of artificial fields of gravity…; they produce high-tension electric charges in order to push the air out of their paths, so it does not start glowing, and strong magnetic fields to influence the ionized air at higher altitudes. First, this would explain their luminosity… Secondly, it would explain the noiselessness of UFO flight…” We now know that he was fundamentally correct in his assessment.
Structures on the Moon
I have had the pleasure of talking to John Brandenburg, PhD who is a plasma physicist. He did his graduate work in California at Lawrence Livermore National Lab in controlled plasmas for fusion power, and has worked in defense, energy, and space research.
Dr. Brandenburg was also part of the Navy Clementine Mission to the Moon which discovered water at the Moon’s poles. He feels a mile long structure on the moon represents alien structure. The Clementine Mission was sent to determine if the extraterrestrials had continued expanding or building additional lunar bases. These are not geological structures. Appear tp be turbine generators, towers, bridge, and mining.
Have You Had A Close Encounter?
Dr. Roger Lear and Mr. Derrel Sims, in a meeting in Thousand Oaks, California demonstrated revolutionary findings about markings on the skin of people who feel they have been abducted.
Example of black light markings
These markings were not visible to the naked eye, but were discovered incidentally while standing under a ‘black light.’ What appeared was fluorescent markings on the facial area, hands, arms, stomach — and also elsewhere. The colors were greenish, and not able to be either washed or scrubbed off. The markings were sub-derminal and can last from one hour up to ten days, as far as research till now have proven. Mr. Sims could not explain how these markings were made. Abductees, all upon having marks, have through hypnotic sessions explained they have undergone examination on board alien craft. The only time variation occurred in the color was among some female abductees that claimed to have been on board the craft, holding and nurturing hybrid babies. These women had red fluorescent marks, on their palms, necks and face, where one would expect close contact holding a baby.
Keep a black light lamp at home, if you suspect that you are among the abductee group. Memories are most often erase upon awakening the next morning after a nocturnal meeting. Sometimes only a vague flash will remind you of what has occurred during the night. If you want to check it out, keep a black light at home, the kind that often is used at Halloween giving off a bluish light. Check out your arms and face in the morning. The ones we saw, were random, non-figurative marks to markings that were figurative. One doctor had found an illuminating mark that looked as if it were ‘stamped’ on his upper arm. Some types of makeup may leave marks but this is usually where the makeup has been applied If you find such marks, please notify us immediately and we will attempt to check into your case… Thanks to Pleiades
Pyramids Asteroid Deflectors
Bill Sells writes, I believe the pyramids were asteroid deflectors as they were originally covered in polished limestone. I believe large ruby stones were placed at the top of each for the generation of a lens to focus the lazer beams in tri-angulated firing to deflect incoming asteroids.
Edgar Casey stated this same theory while in trance years ago. You just have to nudge the asteroid a degree for deflection from Earth’s path and that is what was done. A shame they are still not operational today. But maybe our scientists will learn from the distant past how to protect this planet. We need to build a similar system in same area to cover the whole planetary areas. I believe we can duplicate this power source again. Thanks to Bill Sells.
Chariot of Fire in Bible 2 Kings 2:11
And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces. And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him. And they said unto him, Behold now, there be with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: lest peradventure the Spirit of the LORD hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send. And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not. And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho,) he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not? 2 Kings 2:11 to 2KI 2:18 Note: Was this an abduction, using a vehicle and the beam of light, of a major person of the Bible 900 years B.C. 2,900 years ago.
Taurid Meteor Shower
The Taurid meteor shower is upon us. This annual event, which spans several weeks from early October through late November, results when Earth passes through two streams of debris from the periodic Comet Encke. Because they often result in bright slow moving meteors, and because of their timing, they’re sometimes called the Halloween Fireballs.
Even the most casual stargazers have noticed a congregation of bright “stars” in the eastern sky before sunrise. Three of these “stars” are of course planets, the planets Mars, Jupiter, and Venus. If you missed the splendid conjunction of these planets this morning, you can get a glimpse of them here.
Finally– an accurate, exciting, and relatively upbeat sci-fi/astronomy/space movie. Based on a self-published book by Andy Weir, The Martian is a fine survival tale that’s actually quite entertaining, and it avoids the grimness of Gravity and Interstellar. Even the New Yorker liked this movie. If you’re wondering whether to see it, you can read the review here. Brian Ventrudo Publisher, CosmicPursuits.com
April 1561 – A War In Heaven?
One of the most astounding of documented sightings of aerial phenomena took place in 1561 over Nuremberg, Germany. What was described could only be called a war in the heavens, with a wide variety of craft ranging from spheres to spear-like cylinders to crosses. The sky was apparently filled with the machines, clashing in battle.
Comets and such were well identified and charted in this period, so it is highly unlikely that what the people witnessed was merely a celestial phenomenon like a ‘meteor shower’, as some debunkers suggest. Rather, what is described are physical objects of unique detail and shapes, in ‘battle’ for over an hour. The battle was such that a winner was perceived as well. Spheroid UFOs were seen emerging from cylindrical ‘motherships’. At the conclusion of the battle, it seems a magnificent, black, spear-like super-ship of some kind came upon the scene…
It began at dawn, as dozens, if not hundreds, of crosses, globes and tubes fought each other above the city. It ended an hour later, when “the globes in the small and large rods flew into the sun,” and several of the other objects crashed to earth and vanished in a thick cloud of smoke.
According to the Nuremberg Gazette, the “dreadful apparition” filled the morning sky with “cylindrical shapes from which emerged black, red, orange and blue-white spheres that darted about.” Between the spheres, there were “crosses with the color of blood.” This “frightful spectacle” was witnessed by “numerous men and women.” Afterwards, a “black, spear-like object” appeared. The author of the Gazette warned that “the God-fearing will by no means discard these signs, but will take it to heart as a warnings. Thanks to Nuremberg Gazette. k
Note: The description indicates Cylinder shaped Mothership launching sphere shaped craft like this photo taken over Japan and a triangle shaped UFO.
Ancient Origins of Halloween
Halloween’s origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in). The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31, they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. In addition to causing trouble and damaging crops, Celts thought that the presence of the otherworldly spirits made it easier for the Druids, or Celtic priests, to make predictions about the future. For a people entirely dependent on the volatile natural world, ghost like lights were often reported in the sky.
Some of their key red and blonde haired gods were the Tuatha De Danann, also known as… The Dragon Lords of Anu … the name means literally “the folk of the god whose mother is Dana.” because they were said to be the offspring of the fallen angels (Anunnaki). They allegedly landed out of the heavens in a dark dense cloud on Iron Mountain. They were the alien gods, the ancient spacemen, and a group of blond, fair-skinned, and handsome beings, who ruled the Earth in prehistoric times. Their superior intelligence, artistic skills, and magical powers, which were based on highly advanced technology, laid the foundation of Druids.
The intriguing question is – what was the Watchers’ connection with the people of Ireland, Britain, and Gaul (mainland Europe)? What kind of secret, ancient wisdom, were the Druids trying to conceal and from whom did they gain their magical powers?
To commemorate the event, Druids built huge sacred bonfires, where the people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities. During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each other’s fortunes. When the celebration was over, they re-lit their hearth fires, which they had extinguished earlier that evening, from the sacred bonfire to help protect them during the coming winter.
By 43 A.D., the Roman Empire had conquered the majority of Celtic territory. In the course of the four hundred years that they ruled the Celtic lands, two festivals of Roman origin were combined with the traditional Celtic celebration of Samhain. The first was Feralia, a day in late October when the Romans traditionally commemorated the passing of the dead. The second was a day to honor Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and trees. The symbol of Pomona is the apple and the incorporation of this celebration into Samhain probably explains the tradition of “bobbing” for apples that is practiced today on Halloween.
On May 13, 609 A.D., Pope Boniface IV dedicated the Pantheon in Rome in honor of all Christian martyrs, and the Catholic feast of All Martyrs Day was established. Pope Gregory III (731–741) later expanded the festival to include all saints as well as all martyrs, and moved the observance from May 13 to November 1. By the 9th century the influence of Christianity had spread into Celtic lands, where it gradually blended with and supplanted the older Celtic rites. In 1000 A.D., the church would make November 2 All Souls’ Day, a day to honor the dead. It is widely believed today that the church was attempting to replace the Celtic festival of the dead with a related, but church-sanctioned holiday. All Souls Day was celebrated similarly to Samhain, with big bonfires, parades, and dressing up in costumes as saints, angels and devils. The All Saints Day celebration was also called All-hallows or All-hallowmas (from Middle English Alholowmesse meaning All Saints’ Day) and the night before it, the traditional night of Samhain in the Celtic religion, began to be called All-hallows Eve and, eventually, Halloween.
In Ireland and Scotland, people began to make their own versions of Jack’s lanterns by carving scary faces into turnips or potatoes and placing them into windows or near doors to frighten away Stingy Jack and other wandering evil spirits. http://www.history.com

Sightings of UFOs in the United States
Arizona Orb
Black Canyon City — My wife and I were filming our motorcycle ride with a GoPro when we were stopped in traffic for a very long time due to a rollover accident on October 24, 2015.
As we sat there, the camera captured all kinds of activity neither of us saw at the time.
It was not until I began editing the video that I saw what incredibly. happened.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
California Lights
Hollywood– I was walking down Vermont Street approaching Fountain, by the Hollywood Presbyterian Hospitable. As I neared the intersection, a man dressed in green hospital scrubs ran up flailing for my attention on February 2, 2014.
He asked me, “Have you ever seen a UFO before? Well TURN AROUND RIGHT NOW!” He ran off to tell others. Turning around, I was awestruck and saw flying in the sky was a large, luminescent disc-shaped object. It was a shiny metal color with an alternating pattern of chrome and grey on its undercarriage with a pulsating red light underneath. It was a huge disc-shaped object that was flying at high altitude moving southeast extremely fast. It was without a doubt a UFO. I managed to take a few photos, before it disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Colorado Lights
Fort Collins — During a smoke break, I was trying out the video camera slow motion on October 23, 2015. I decided to film the rain mist falling down from the sky and when I went back to look at the slow motion video, there was an object in it. I did not see anything with the naked eye.
I would have written it off as a fluke, but the rain falls in front of it, and smoke drifts in front of it as well. In addition, I took two slow motion videos in succession and the second video does not contain the object. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Illinois Lights
Naperville — Just after 4:30 am, i looked out our sliding door at two very bright lights just hovering in the sky on October 25, 2015. I was convinced this was not natural. It is 4:51 PM, and they are still there, not moving. We have been living in this residence for three years. We have never seen these lights before today. It has been quite unsettling to watch these very strange lights. I can only hope that others have seen these lights and can find a good explanation. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Note: Jupiter, Venus and Mars create a cosmic triangle in morning sky this week
Indiana Cylinder
Harlan –– We were out on the pool deck enjoying the evening when I noticed something up in the night sky that struck me as unusual on September 28, 2015. It was very bright and color changing rapidly through most of the rainbow spectrum. It was obviously not a plane; I quickly got out my 5″ reflector telescope and called my wife and four kids out to witness the event. We all had time to capture a video of the object with an I-phone camera through the telescope. Shape of the object is quite saucer like typical of many observations by others. Kids called over their friends for a look at it through the telescope, nine total witnesses on the event. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Kentucky Lights
Burkesville – I was at home watching TV and getting ready to go to bed. First noticed it when I went to check what I had on game camera. I usually leave camera out for 1 week before I check to see what animals I got on film. When I first saw the photo, I said to myself that is a ufo! Didn’t see it in person. Only on film. Sent picture to local MUFON investigators. Thanks to MUFON CMS’
Minnesota Black Arrowhead
Rochester — On September 21 2015. I had an incredible sighting at 2 pm, while heading west down a hill and saw a huge black arrowhead shaped craft. My brother saw it at the same moment. It was larger than a commercial jet, hovering and not making any noise. It was so easy to see if you looked up. After looking at it for about 10 seconds trees started to obstruct my view. By the time I got back in the clear, it was gone. The craft was flat black and did not reflect the sun. From my angle to it, I saw the back left side. At first, I thought it was a triangle shape, but it was slightly angled so I could see the back was cut out. I suppose you could say it was boomerang, but it was much thicker and more arrowhead-like. It was stationary and a clear sighting that I am still in awe. NOTE: The above image is a rendering. Thanks to Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ worldUFOphotos
New Jersey Orbs
Flemington — a very good friend of the family took this picture on October 8, 2015. He is not into UFOs as I am, but he felt he should bring it to me. He thought he was taking a picture of a sunrise and saw three very bright lights shining through the clouds and thought it was the sun trying to poke through. There were three bright lights with beams coming down from them. It was not until he took a second picture that the three lights were in a triangular. These lights are shining through the clouds. My brother and I are both UFO fanatics and always looking up. My brother has many pictures of UFOs and one of a USO sitting on top of the Ocean. A beam was shining out of the sky right on top of the USO and five helicopters in the far background. Thanks to Denise
New York Cylinder
Coney Island — The first sighting of a strange series of lights, up to 180 meters across, was said to have resembled the back of the fictional Rebel Alliance craft while in flight on October 15, 2015. Four people on Coney Island saw it. Roger Marsh, of Openminds.tv, said, “A New York street photographer driving to Coney Island reported capturing a disc-shaped object while taking ‘rapid fire images’ of a bridge. “The witness was with three friends on their way to pick up another friend.” The photographer, who has not been named, said, “I always carry my camera with me. At the time, I shot with a Fujifilm XT1 and had it on machine gun mode for rapid shots.
“We were passing by the bridge as I decided to just rapid fire some shots of the bridge free hand and I did not have my eye sight in my view finder.”What caught my attention was a sudden string flash at the corner of my eye, kind of like lightening but in the distance. At that moment I took my finger off the shutter and reviewed my photos from the rapid fire when I came across the object.” The witness does not believe the object was visible for very long. He added, “The object moved at such speed that I only had it in the frames for about maybe a second or two. It’s also moved from the front of the bridge to out of the frame in that small amount of time.” MUFON New York State section director Lillian Waters and field investigator John Reinhart investigated the case, filing a report stating: “Although not visible to the naked eye, one picture revealed a disc-like object with a dome shaped top. “The object was very large – possibly 300 feet in diameter – and appeared to have bright yellow-orange external lights.”Thanks to MUFON CMS
North Carolina Light
Charlotte –– I took a picture of moon and then realized an additional object was in the image on October 16, 2015. Thanks to MUFON CMS
South Carolina Light
Hartsville — My brother-in-law has a hunting area not far from our home on October 16, 2015. He has cameras posted in the hunting area to see if any deer come by the feed pile, so he can hunt them. He always goes out every other day to retrieve the disc from the camera to check the footage and see what, if anything has tripped the camera. A color laser motion activated camera captured strange lights on the disc. He asked me to look and I told him that they looked like “Orbs” from Hanger 1, MUFON TV programs. Since these images were taken, no animals (Deer, Turkeys, Squirrel, Crows, and Raccoons) have ever returned to the feed pile. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Pacific Ocean UFO
Seattle – flying from Maui, Hawaii leaving at night going to Seattle, my daughter in the window seat saw it first at dawn on July 19, 2015. She saw a smoke trail with a red light then the light went out. She first took a picture and then took video.
When the object turns, there are no wings and my husband said it is probably a missile. It is hard to know when we are in an airplane, but most likely over the Pacific Ocean. We were going 500 mph at 6 to 6.5 miles up in the air. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Lights
Brownsville – I was going to work with my brother saw two bright lights in sky proceeded to follow once we were about to get there lights disappear and appeared half mile away fast for any aircraft proceeded to see two other crafts triangle in shape spear to hover amazing event aunt worked for airlines 20 years uncle is an Air Force pilot I work for and airline I know it wasn’t a plane or a drone or a helicopter … crazy event changed my life. Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS
Washington Red Lights
Spokane — Moses L. reports, “We saw three red dots going north on October 17, 2015, in a triangle formation slightly going out of formation for a few seconds and then they disappeared.
Update Oct 20, 2015: David Mason has analyzed the video and writes: “After reviewing the video and observing the relative speed when referenced to a land structural object, the three objects are likely one of the Yaogan satellite groups launched by the Chinese government for reconnaissance and research purposes. There are also satellite groups positioned in triangular formation intended for interferometry measurement applications launched by the USA as well as satellite groups not disclosed to the public. They can appear to be red in color if the atmosphere has enough pollution/particle content. The violet/blue/green wavelengths are attenuated thus giving the predominant red color. This is similar to the effect of seeing a red moon or sun at the horizon. But usually these satellites will have a light or near white color, that resembles that of more common singular satellites. The triangular formations will appear to change position slightly as they pass by the field of view due to the reference point of observation. They can be startling when observed for the first time.” Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com
Worldwide UFO Reports
Australia Lights
Mackay – An orb appeared after photo was taken of the moon on April 15, 2015.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Sydney — After closing my telescope observatory, I looked skyward to see an object on September 22, 2015, that looked aluminum-like. It was fluttering and moving very quickly from my west. Then after 30 to 40 seconds, I ran inside to grab my Canon 400d camera with 300mm zoom lens. After watching it ascend and descend, move left, right with no turning circle at all, just direct turns of up to 180 degrees at times.
It slowed down at which time I took four images before it ascended into a cloud. After watching this area of sky for 1.30 hours with no further sighting, I went inside to check the images and I thought ‘wow.’ The photos are attached. Zoom in to see object. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Brazil Orb
Campinas —I was taking a picture of the sun behind the cloud and after I shared the photo on Facebook, I noted the object on it. It is not a lens flare and looks like some kind of UFO spacecraft with a cloaking device to be semitransparent or similar to the clouds. It was very strange hovering white orb with five lights or dots on it.
Ufo sightings are normal these days A bit impressed. The clouds covered the sky. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Canada UFO
Fort McMurray Alberta — I am an electrician and I was going out for a cigarette at exactly 9.07 PM, with my iPhone in hand on October 17, 2015. I always look up just to check out stars and northern lights. As I was staring almost straight up the object broke the edge of the roofline above my head and proceeded above cloud cover in a northerly direction. It made five course corrections at speeds far beyond anything I have ever seen. I live near a Canadian AFB and see many fighters. The object then vanished in 1.5 seconds.
It was comparable to at least 20 times the speed of a commercial jet. The speed and handling that was quite frankly awe inspiring. This object was under intelligent command and scared me half to death. NOTE: The above image is a rendering. Thanks to MUFON CMS
France Orbs
Island of Oleron –Three of us were walking in the dark between the trees and watching the stars we saw three UFO-like stars that danced on August 21, 2014. He followed and suddenly changed direction as any known device, two others appeared as a second group, and some of the first group are gone violently off quickly and disappeared.
You could see there were no clouds. The second group stayed a few seconds and then he too disappeared as if he followed the others. We were impressed and we are quickly back to sleep. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Ireland Triangle
Dublin — Michael Roberts says, “I want to report a ufo sighting over Balbriggan County at 6 AM on September 18, 2015. A very bright triangular shaped craft passed over my apartment and hovered over the sea for about a half an hour. Two passenger jets had passed by this object. The one jet was higher up in the air than the object and the other one was lower than the object probably because it must have just taken off from Dublin Air Port. I’m not sure if the pilots of the planes saw the object but the object was very bright and could be seen from far off.” Sighting report via UFOINFO
Mexico Orb
I was outside visiting with neighbors enjoying a beautiful clear night with the moon shining brightly on October 18, 2015. I looked up and saw a reddish object moving to the left of the moon. First thought a drone, but it made no sounds and was late at night. The object appeared to move in a straight line from right to left with no change in altitude.
At times, it appeared to change intensity and size of the light. We all felt the object was some kind of an UFO. Some believed it was a flame others a drone or helicopter, yet there was total silence. The object slowly drifted out of sight behind. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Asker— On October 10, 2015, On Saturday October 10, 2015 I had an experience that I cannot explain. I was a passenger in a car and on my way home; I suddenly became aware of a very bright cigar formed object on the sky. Right behind the object a smaller object of the same shape occurred. It was so big, but with no wings and suddenly it disappeared. I was looking around in the sky trying to find it, but the sky was empty. Five seconds later, it suddenly appeared again in the sky, but this time in a new shape and much, much closer to my car. It was V-shaped and upside down if you understand. It was very huge, white, and bright but no lights. It was V shaped and squared like boxes. So I had a 3D sight of a flat thing in the sky that had mass. Behind the biog V, it was a smaller V hanging. My friend who was driving the car did not see it and it suddenly disappeared! The big, thing was just gone. Thanks to William Puckett, Director UFOsnw

Funchal — I am not the one who saw the object, so I will just report. She was at home, on the porch on October 22, 2015, and she was watching the lightning storm. She first saw the object when filming the storm. She thought it was lightning.
The object was like a disc, very white bright and fast. It went up and down in the middle of the storm moving very fast. She felt very scared because this was the first time that she saw the object.
She didn’t lose sight of the object, and she just goes inside of the house. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Moscow — On October 21, 2015, these glowing orbs have been seen around the world this month. They have been seen over Florida, Ohio, New Jersey and now Moscow.
Something that low would endanger landing passenger jets at Moscow airport. So, look up, they could be over your neighborhood soon. Scott C. Waring ufosightingsdaily

Istanbul – On October 27, 2015, we were at the bus trying to sleep when I saw two stars like things. One was the brightest thing that I have ever seen.
The other one was on top of it, and it was so bright that it woke me up. I told my friends and took a couple of pictures.
Their iPhones are better than mine but their iPhones couldn’t take a photo of it. We watched for 40 minutes than it slowly lost its brightness and then disappeared by the way many planes passed while we were observing. Thanks to MUFON CMS’
UK/England Light
Lincolnshire – I was just going for a walk along the beach and thought the clouds looked beautiful on October 21, 2015
I took some photos, as I’m a keen amateur photographer. In particular the sun reflecting off the clouds looked beautiful, so I took 2 shots, one close up and one further out. When I got home, I went through the pictures and came across the orb. I played around with the filters, checked that it wasn’t dust and reviewed the other photos. It was the only one with the orb. When I increase the definition, it clearly looks like an orb in the sky, just stationary. I performed lots of checks as mentioned, dust, reflections etc but none of the other photos had it and they were all taken at the same time. No idea what it was but very pleased I caught it!

New Inca ceremonial complex discovered in Peru
New Inca ceremonial complex discovered in Peru
Four expeditions, a hunch, and meticulous satellite tracking work have led to the discovery of an Inca sanctuary in the mountains of Vilcabamba in Peru, 150 kilometers above the northeastern city of Cusco.

The team of Spanish scientists and researchers led by the writer and explorer Miguel Gutiérrez Garitano have just returned to Vitoria, still shocked about the “importance” of their finding, which includes at least 55 sites in the “highest mountain in the area, in a place where they could only be found by satellite imaging.
” Gutiérrez Garitano can barely hold back his surprise and joy: “The ruins, unknown to science until now and discovered through an investigation that included remote sensing techniques, may be from the Inca kingdom of Vilcabamba. The evidence we have collected may show proof of the existence of the ritual Capacocha, or human sacrifices, in the high mountain area, which – according to experts – would be a revolutionary discovery. Moreover, very luckily, we also found an Inca cemetery with dozens of tombs inside caves,” the explorer said.
Ruins from the ceremonial Inca site and registered for the first time by the Mars Gaming Expedition

Computer hardware company Mars Gaming was one of the sponsors of the fieldwork, which took place in mid-September. “We climbed up the mountain, up to the summit, and we covered the most important areas that we had identified via remote sensing technology [They found 30-50 locations]; the results exceeded our expectations. We were able to photograph various rectangular sites that seem like buildings that were probably used for worship or associated with it (like inns or dwellings set aside as lodging for those participating in rituals), besides Inca roads, stairs and altar steps, outfitted caves, huacas [carved stone artifacts], usnus [platforms] and a number of tombs at the foot of the mountain,” Gutiérrez Garitano said. The archaeologist Iñigo Orue says “the entire mountain is organized like a huge site whose potential we cannot know before more archaeological exploration.”
Experts say that the Inca carried out important rituals on this mountain, one of the main holy sites during the Neo-Inca kingdom in Vilcabamba, though it may have been built before. These ceremonies may have included human sacrifices, or Capacocha. “Usually this type of ritual — where they mainly sacrificed virginal maidens but not necessarily only those – was performed to prevent famines or natural disasters, during some specific festivals or after the death of the Inca, for example,” the explorer continued.
“We have found evidence indicating that the ritual of Capacocha may have been performed on this mountain. We have documented two building structures near the summit identical to those that emerged from the volcano Llullaillaco and that were supposedly used to prepare the children before the last ritual of the sacrifice. There is a stone platform nearby where those children may be buried.” The team hopes to return to Peru in the summer of 2016 to expand on what it has learned.
This is the Best Explanation yet for that 'Alien Megastructure' 1,400 Light-Years Away
This is the Best Explanation yet for that 'Alien Megastructure' 1,400 Light-Years Away
A mysterious star more than 1,400 light-years from Earth has absolutely baffled astrophysicists. It's so different than anything we've ever observed, researchers can't completely discount that it's sign of an alien civilization. The star, called KIC 8462852, is so distant the only information we have about it comes from its light curves — the amount of light from the star that makes it back to Earth. Astrophysicists have noticed bizarre blobs about the star blocking out some of its light. The blobs don't appear to be planets since they follow a random pattern rather than an expected, planet-like orbit.
A giant swarm of comets or a broken-up planet might reason the odd phenomenon, but no particularly convincing astrophysical explanations have arose. That's why some consider the weird blobs might be a Dyson sphere — a massive group of solar panels orbiting a star to gather its energy — therefore implying that we may be observing a technological "megastructure" built by aliens. As Penn State astrophysicist Kimberly Cartier told Business Insider, though, the media reporting has "gotten a bit out of hand." Tech Insider has spotted what we think is the best clarification yet for KIC 8462852, and it doesn't include aliens at all. Jim Galasyn, a writer for the blog Desdemona Despair, saw a 2013 study paper posted by commenter "Michael" on a story from Centauri Dreams. That paper clarifies how some stars don't have a constant brightness level as they're unevenly shaped and "oblate" discs.
As the scientists write in that study: When a star is oblate, it has a bigger radius at its equator than it does at its poles. As a consequence, the poles have a higher surface gravity, and thus higher temperature and brightness. Thus, the poles are "gravity brightened", and the equator "gravity darkened." The star turns out to be oblate (and hence gravity darkening occurs) because the centrifugal force resulting from rotation creates additional outward pressure on the star. This generates patches of darker and lighter areas within these kinds of stars, so the light curves that make it back to Earth won't look totally uniform. What's more, planets frequently orbit "obliquely" from Earth's perspective and do not pass directly in front of a star. So those mainly weird light curves from KIC 8462852 could easily be produced by planets passing in front of darker and lighter areas — not alien artifacts floating around it. In the image from the research paper below, the red sphere signifies an oblate star, and the smaller circles demonstrate the path that a planet might take around the star. As the planet crosses into darker and lighter patches of the star, it creates the abnormal light curves that you can see below:
Barnes et al/The Astrophysical Journal
For comparison, here is a light curve from KIC 8462852:
T.S. Boyajian et al./arXiv.org
Light strength (left) and days of observation (bottom) show how KIC 8462852's light changes over time. Our overlay of both graphics (below), stimulated by one of Galasyn's illustrations, isn't scientific. Though, it shows how an oblate star and planets orbiting it would better explain the light curves:
This appears like a more probable explanation than aliens, but just in case it's off, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute, an organization that searches for signs of life outside Earth, is still carefully examining the star. Scientists there have been pointing the ground-based Allen Telescope Array in California at the bizarre star for the past several days. SETI scientist Doug Vakoch told Business Insider that we should know if it's aliens within the next week or so.

If UFO’s and Extraterrestrials do not exist, why is there so much interest from the FBI, CIA and other agencies in the subject?
If UFO’s and Extraterrestrials do not exist, why is there so much interest from the FBI, CIA and other agencies in the subject?
“If you extrapolate on the planets they discovered, there are a trillion planets in the galaxy. That’s a lot of places for life,” Shostak said, as quoted by ABC. “We know that the majority of stars have planets,” but what “fraction of stars has planets that are more like the earth? It might be one in five.”
“The chances of finding it I think are good and if that happens it will happen in the next 20 years depending on the financing,” he added in written testimony, according to BuzzFeed.” (source)
Let’s say that UFO’s and Aliens are just a modern-day forgery and that the hundreds of thousands of images around the world are nothing more than elaborated hoaxes. The question that we need to ask is why is there then so much interest from governmental agencies regarding the subject?
Why create “Project Blue Book” If there is no such things as aliens and UFOS… why bother investigating in the first place?
The Project began in 1947 after a series of UFO sightings that shocked media and people across America. One of those cases that caught the attention of the government was when pilot Kenneth Arnold observed nine unidentified flying objects moving at high speeds through the skies over Washington’s Mount Rainier; a scenario that has not been explained and people today still wonder what happened.
Project Blue Book investigated 12,618 UFO sightings over a period of two decades. Huge amounts of data were collected, researched and analyzed, and even though we can get access to the data, some ufologists believe that the truth has been hidden even though secret documentation has been declassified.
As a result, from 1947 to 1969, a total of 12, 618 sightings were reported to Project BLUE BOOK, where 90 percent of those sightings were attributed to explainable phenomena, caused by known astronomical phenomena, atmospheric or artificial (man-made) phenomenon, but out of the 12,618 sightings, 701 remain “Unidentified” meaning that there was insufficient information to assign or attribute the event to a known cause.
Declassified FBI document o Beings that are NOT from Earth
In 2011 after some documents were “declassified” a report written by a special agent of the FBI in 1947 reached the public. The special agent of the FBI, a lieutenant colonel whose identity, remained anonymous because of “national security” gather numerous data on the UFO phenomena after interviewing and studying the phenomena for years.
Again, if there are no such things as aliens and the Flying saucers millions of people have seen around the world are nothing more but elaborate hoaxes, why bother investigating? Spending money on a subject that is proven to be a hoax? Surely there has to be something more to it.
Just tent days before being killed, former President of the United States John F. Kennedy asked the CIA for classified documents about UFO’s, according to the Freedom of Information Act.
We are talking about two letters written by the former President of the United States. One of the letters was sent to the director of the CIA while the other one was sent to NASA. In the letters, former President John F. Kennedy asked for the establishment of a “Space cooperation” with the Soviet Union. These letter surfaced thanks to the work of writer William Lester, as he was gathering information for a book about the life of John F. Kennedy.
If governments were so sure that Alien beings and the UFO Phenomenon are nothing more but elaborated hoaxes, why spend so much money and effort to investigate the two?

ON THIS DAY: In 1938, Martians Invaded The U.S.A.
ON THIS DAY: In 1938, Martians Invaded The U.S.A.
Actually, a radio broadcast got a bit out of hand
Picture: Wikimedia Commons
Nigel Watson, author of UFOs of the First World War, writes, 'Orson Welles’ Mercury Theatre of the Air caused a sensation when they broadcast their version of the War of the Worlds on Halloween’s Eve, 30 October, 1938. Their radio show presented the story as an on-going news broadcast. They told listeners that spaceships were landing in New Jersey and that Martians were coming to get them. After studying the panic psychologist Hadley Cantril thought that 1.2 million listeners had been frightened or excited by the broadcast. The reaction was so intense that a stunned and unshaven Orson Welles apologised before news reel cameras the following day.
'Although the show had been presented as fiction, many listeners apparently accepted it as fact. It has been noted that the worrying political frictions in Europe, that were leading up to World War II, had made them more responsive to stories of attack.
'People were also more likely to believe what they heard on the radio, however outlandish, if presented as news. The public had been accustomed to seeing and reading about spaceships and future weapons through the likes of Flash Gordon, so an attack from Mars only indicated that the foreseen ‘future’ had arrived.
'Cantril’s classic study of 1945 has been used to show that the public would panic if extraterrestrials ever made a mass landing or provided unequivocal proof of their existence. In the 1980s sociologists looked again at this panic and found that few listeners did more than feel worried about the broadcast.
'The masses did not run into the streets in blind panic, or hide in their basements in the manner suggested of a panic. Instead, it is suggested that this was really a product of mass delusion fuelled by the media and confirmed by Cantril.
'Since Welles was the supreme showman one wonders if he helped inflame the idea of a mass panic and that his apology the next day was just an act. Intriguingly, the film The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension (W.D. Richter, 1984), plays with the idea that this alien invasion really did happen in 1938 and that we were all implanted with false memories to make us believe it was all a hoax.
Incredible discovery as Spacecraft finds organic compounds on Comet
Incredible discovery as Spacecraft finds organic compounds on Comet
According to scientists, the Rosetta spacecraft has found organic compounds that demonstrate how life came to Earth on a comet.The Philae module that landed on comet 67P has registered data that reinforce the theory that these celestial bodies are in fact cosmic laboratories that assemble essential elements for life.
After its successful and historical landing on comet 67p in november 2014, the Philae module was able to collect samples of organic compounds according to a report of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
The July 20, 2015 photo released by the European Space Agency ESA on Tuesday, July 28, 2015 shows an image of the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko with its coma taken by the Navcam camera of the Rosetta orbiter from a distance of 171km (106 miles) from the comet center. (AP Photo/ESA/Rosetta/Navcam)
‘It seems that comets are pretty good places to find the building blocks of molecules which later on could be used for life.’ – Mark McCaughrean, European Space Agency
The recorded data supports the theoretical assumption that comets could be true cosmic laboratories, assembling the necessary elements for life as we know it.
Surprisingly, just 25 minutes after landing on the comet, the Philae spectrometer aboard the module had registered the presence of 13 organic compounds, some of them with nitrogen, which are believed to be precursors of life, since these are involved in the formation of essential amino acids, or nucleobases.
“Comets are loaded with all the raw materials like water, CO2, methane, ammonia, needed to assemble more complex organic molecules, perhaps sparked by UV-photons from the Sun or cosmic rays, or in the shock that occurs when a comet hits the surface of a planet like the young Earth,” said Mark McCaughrean, a senior scientific adviser at the European Space Agency.
In the article published in the journal Science, scientists admitted that it is still not known whether these complex modules, found on the comet were formed in the early solar system or later on.
Still this discovery comes as a surprise to many which believed that the necessary elements for life could not be found in a harsh environment such as the surface of a comet.
“We have definitely learned at least one thing with this first comet landing: Bouncing is a bigger problem than a possible sinking into the ground,” said Philae project manager Stephan Ulamec.
Even though the Philae module woke up from hibernation “unexpectedly” last month, researchers have not been able to re-establish a connection to the module which, responsible for making a groundbreaking discovery, which could provide a lot of information on life in our solar system.
If comets are able to act as “messengers” throughout the solar system, the most important question we can ask is, if these comets could have brought the necessary elements for life on other planets and moons in our solar system. Scientists have speculated for a long time that life could have developed on moons such as Europa and Enceladus.

NASA Adds to Evidence of Mysterious Ancient Earthworks
NASA Adds to Evidence of Mysterious Ancient Earthworks
One of the enormous earthwork configurations photographed from space is known as the Ushtogaysky Square, named after the nearest village in Kazakhstan.

High in the skies over Kazakhstan, space-age technology has revealed an ancient mystery on the ground.
Satellite pictures of a remote and treeless northern steppe reveal colossal earthworks — geometric figures of squares, crosses, lines and rings the size of several football fields, recognizable only from the air and the oldest estimated at 8,000 years old.
The largest, near a Neolithic settlement, is a giant square of 101 raised mounds, its opposite corners connected by a diagonal cross, covering more terrain than the Great Pyramid of Cheops. Another is a kind of three-limbed swastika, its arms ending in zigzags bent counterclockwise.
Described last year at an archaeology conference in Istanbul as unique and previously unstudied, the earthworks, in the Turgai region of northern Kazakhstan, number at least 260 — mounds, trenches and ramparts — arrayed in five basic shapes.
Spotted on Google Earth in 2007 by a Kazakh economist and archaeology enthusiast, Dmitriy Dey, the so-called Steppe Geoglyphs remain deeply puzzling and largely unknown to the outside world.
