UFO Enters in The Volcano Catania, Sicily, Oct 30, 2015, Video, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Enters in The Volcano Catania, Sicily, Oct 30, 2015, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: October 30, 2015 Location of sighting: Mount Etna, Sicily, Italy
Here is a fantastic heat vision video by UFOvni2012 of Youtube. It shows a UFO entering the volcano in Italy. Volcanos were once the most inaccessible areas for humans, so aliens chose this area for their entrance/exits, but only some volcanos are used this way. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com News states: Extremely bright green object photographically seen above peak of Mount Etna in Sicily for about 15 minutes. Sicily, Catania Italy, October 30, 2015 - Halloween I am all Internet days for seismic events that occur in the Mediterranean region, today (30 October 2015), I noticed in the INGV (Italian National Geology and Volcanology) these images ranging from 6:42 at 6:54 pm local where green cone forms a bright object appears clearly. Then at 7:00 pm, later the object was not seen for a while. The area where the object is seen is the peak of the volcano several vents and considerable morphological change, it rose in recent years.
Keeping an eye on NASA is something I find important. A scientific organization that hides alien evidence rather than reports it can not be trusted. I was watching the space station live cam when I noticed the camera switch to a new camera. Then the camera began to swing to the left until it focused on a white oval between it and Earth. The object had matched its speed with the space station. The camera then continued to zoom closer and closer, but all we could see was a glowing white oval. The vibrate light from the UFO was so powerful that even NASAs new seven million dollar HD cameras could not focus on it. Foo fighter checking out the space station? Now I will message @NASA and @NASA_Astronauts to see if they can tell us about this UFO. Cross your fingers. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Alien Hunters Claim: UFOs Are Hounding International Space Station on an Almost Daily Basis
Alien Hunters Claim: UFOs Are Hounding International Space Station on an Almost Daily Basis
Do aliens genuinely exist? If so, why is it that there is no physical evidence? What are the odds of other planets harboring life? For decades, humanity has been asking questions about the existence of terrestrial beings. It is not until the advent of present day technology and flight that we have started to label these odd sightings as Unidentified Flying Objects.
Last month, there were five strange UFO sightings reported on the ISS cameras. Several videos were being taken from NASA live cameras on the ISS. The cameras in orbit are 250 miles above the earth, containing strange Unidentified Flying Objects posted on both YouTube and paranormal websites. The frequency of strange objects on the cameras houses six astronauts and is currently increasing, according to the conspiracist, speculating they may be proof of “secret tests” undertaken by NASA. It was on October 1 that the latest object being filmed, and it clearly shows a glowing object that is moving towards the space station, underneath the orbit. Scott C Waring, the Alien conspiracist editor of a prominent website regarding odd objects, speculated that the object could either be a UFO or a top secret project in which NASAis a part.
According to Jessie Carter, the slow movement is baffling to him. He asked people regarding their thoughts about the craft. As with Jessie Carter, he is on site to research. Then, he experienced similar situations of what is in the video in Illinois at 8.15 pm. If you happen to be a star gazer, you will notice that it was a clear sky with stars out. Another video posted on YouTube on September 17 that show a glowing object, this time, the object travels alongside the ISS. Just three days another person, uploaded a video of an orb object, which the ISS appeared to pass beneath. The daily success sightings warrant the conclusion that strange orb UFOs are being seen every day. In fact, it has already become the tourist attraction of aliens.
Night Shift Nurses and the Flying Saucer Men - part I
Night Shift Nurses and the Flying Saucer Men - part I
What sounds like a saucy, cinematic romp that would likely have played in some dingy theater on New York’s 42nd Street in the 1970s, is actually one of the strangest and most fascinating events in the long history of UFO research. The event in question, which would soon become a full blown phenomenon, began in the wee hours of New Year’s Day, 1970, and involved a group of Canadian nurses who would bear witness to a peculiar craft and a pair of bizarre beings that would forever alter the course of their lives.
At 11:59 pm. on New Year’s Eve, 1969, while the rest of British Columbia was engaged in celebrating the arrival of the new decade with hugs and kisses and copious amounts of champagne, a night shift nurse by the name of Doreen Kendall was punching in at Cowichan District Hospital on Vancouver Island for the midnight to eight swing.
There can be little doubt that following her tedious 26-mile commute from her home in Nanaimo, that she regretted having to miss all the festivities, but as she shucked her coat and resigned herself to the performance of her duties, Kendall had no way of knowing just how much excitement was in store for her and her co-workers occupying the second floor of the CDH’s East Wing.
NURSE KENDALL AND THE SAUCER PILOTS:
The dedicated practical nurse diligently made her rounds in the extended care unit for elderly patients with a registered nurse named Frieda Wilson, when, at approximately five in the morning, she noticed that one of her geriatric patients was stirring restlessly.
Assuming that her aged patient was simply too warm, Kendall pulled back the heavy drapes in the four bed room in order to allow a breeze into the ward. At the same time her supervisor attended to the patient on the other side of the privacy curtain near the doorway.
As soon as the nurse parted the drapes she was suddenly startled by a dazzling light, but once her eyes adjusted to the shine she spied something that would eternally adjust her perception of reality. Kendall described what she saw illuminating the hospital that early morn:
“Just as I pulled the drapes a brilliant light hit me in the eyes. It was still dark outside, but about 60-feet away, right above the children’s ward to my left, there was this object so big and bright I could see everything clearly.”
Kendall would go on to describe the unusual hovering object itself, which she claimed was slightly above her and approximately the width of five or six windows in the nearby children’s ward. This speculative measurement would put the diameter of his “Saturn-shaped” disc at about 50-feet. Kendall gave a detailed description of the vehicle:
“The object was circular and had what I guess you would call a top and bottom. The bottom was silvery, like metal, and was shaped like a bowl. There was a string of bright lights around it like a necklace. The top was a dome made of something like glass. It was lit up from inside and I could see right into it.”
As if that weren’t bizarre enough, Kendall claimed that she could make out the shapes of two masculine, masked figures standing within the bubble atop the craft.
One of the “men” seemed to be positioned behind the other and appeared to be a little smaller than the closer one — although that might have been an issue of perspective. Both of these beings were, according to Kendall, facing to her right, looking away from the hospital. Kendall described the head gear clad, veiled, 6-foot tall humanoids in her own words:
“They looked like fine, tall, well-built men. They were dressed in tight-fitting suits of the same material that covered their heads but their hands were bare and I noticed how human they looked. Their flesh seemed just like ours.”
At this point Kendall observed that the odd craft was “tilting” toward her. As it leaned forward she spied two, knee-high, stool-like protrusions behind the entities and she also noticed what she described as an “instrument panel,” which looked as if it were made from a chrome-like metallic substance. The panel, which consumed almost half of the space inside the UFO and loomed up practically to the peak of the dome, was filled with small (presumably navigational) “circles” or dials of various sizes, all of which appeared to be illuminated from below.
Even more intriguingly, the larger being standing closest to the front of the transparent bubble seemed to have his attention consumed by the devices before him, forcing the nurse to speculate that they might be experiencing some kind of engine difficulty. Kendall would later ruminate that the reason she was so enthralled by this allegedly extraterrestrial technology was due to the fact that she came from a long line of racing-car aficionados and that she was always interested in automotive and other mechanical devices. According to Kendall:
“The man in front was staring at the panel as if something very important was going on, and I wondered if they might have had mechanical trouble. I even thought they might have landed on the roof of the hospital and then had trouble taking off… Maybe because I’m so mechanically minded, but I suspect they were having mechanical trouble and had stopped to make repairs.”
Interestingly, as this middle-aged nurse stood enthralled by this strange vessel floating before her, she would later claim that she had no sense of “fear” during her unusual encounter, only one of curiosity and calmness:
“I never felt so peaceful in all my life. I wish I could have talked to them… I was completely oblivious to anything else and felt no fear. In fact I would have loved to have gone for a ride and, if the men had spoken to me, I would have answered quite naturally.”
As if on cue — or perhaps by psychic connection — the smaller entity raised its head and slowly turned towards Kendall. Although his face was concealed, she felt as if this being were staring directly at her. Kendall described this harrowing interlude:
“He seemed to look right at me but I couldn’t see his face. It was covered by a darkish material that looked softer than the rest of his suit. I’m sure he saw me because then he touched the other man on the back… He was wearing a darkish fabric, similar to his uniform and headgear, which obscured his facial features.”
Once Kendall’s presence had been brought to the larger alien’s attention, he began engaging in what seemed to be evasive maneuvers. The entity reached down and grabbed what Kendall described as a “lever” with a ball on the top — which she would later compare to the “joy stick” of an airplane — that stuck out of the floor of the craft. Kendall described what she speculated to be the ufonauts effort to beat a hasty retreat:
“When he did this, the man in front reached down and took hold of something like a lever beside him. I’ll never forget how deliberately he did it. He pushed it back and forth and the saucer, or whatever you’d call it, started to circle slowly, still close to the building, in an anti-clockwise direction.”
Kendall was so captivated by what she was seeing that she momentarily forgot about Wilson, who was still standing behind her. She was also afraid that these evidently shy creatures might hasten their departure even more if she made so much as a sound. It was then that Kendall silently waved her superior over to catch a glimpse of this astonishing vehicle, and its’ ostensibly unearthly occupants, before they disappeared:
“Then when I did think of it, I guess I hesitated. I felt I mustn’t make a noise or do anything that would break the trend of what was happening… I was so taken with the flying saucer that I didn’t call anyone. I felt mummified and fascinated and stood there for about five minutes watching before I called another nurse, Mrs. Freda Wilson. When it started to pull away, I realized no one would believe me and I ran and called Mrs. Wilson to come and look. She asked ‘what on earth it that?’ and I said ‘It’s a flying saucer.’”
Wilson later described the same event from her perspective:
“I noticed Miss Kendall standing at the window and wondered what she was looking at. In fact, I was just going to see when she beckoned to me, and then I saw this great big light over the patio outside the children’s ward. I’d say it was quite a bit larger than a car. It looked circular in shape and the far side seemed to be higher than the side near us. It was moving around slowly and then it started to move away. I didn’t really see any top or bottom to it. It was all just tremendously bright.”
At this point Kendall and Wilson sprinted down to the Nurse’s Station to corral their fellow nurses. Two of their understandably skeptical cohorts — Mrs. Appleby and Mrs. Clarkson — quickly followed them back into the room. The quartet of nurses rushed to the window, but by this point the hovering vehicle had moved far enough away from the hospital so that the allegedly extraterrestrial pilots were no longer visible, but the abnormal, self-illuminated object was still in plain sight.
Wilson confirmed Kendall’s assertion that the UFO was over five window panes in length and added that she saw a “red light” at the base. All of the nurses agreed that the spinning ship was completely silent.
The nurses watched as the disc-shaped craft slowly drifted off on a southeasterly course, disappearing behind the grove of trees bordering the facility just as two additional nurses arrived, missing the entire show. At this point one of the nurses — whose identity is surprisingly difficult to discern considering how well documented this case is — raced down the corridor and into a lavatory on the other side of the building and watched as the UFO rotated five times, then shot off “like a streak,”
As mind boggling as it is to have so many medical professionals observe an estimated 50-foot flying saucer gyrating over a hospital, there are some UFO skeptics who have pondered as to why Wilson (who was the second witness on the scene) did not also see the humanoids in the craft, and whether or not this is indicative of some sort of disingenuousness in Kendall’s account.
This seems ludicrous considering that there were three additional witnesses who were present to confirm the reality of the flying saucer whizzing around the hospital. Kendall, however, dismissed the skeptics’ doubts as a simple matter of timing:
“I think Mrs. Wilson must have come just a bit too late. After the thing circled four or five times, it started going away, farther along by the roof of the children’s ward, and I couldn’t see inside it either.”
Other researchers have pointed out that in the vast amount of “in flight” flying saucer sightings a large percentage of them seem to indicate that stationary — or hovering — UFOS seem to emit considerably less light than those in flight. Kendall was the only one of the four eyewitnesses to see the object before it began its revolutions. So, if the aforementioned hypothesis is true, then the excess illumination given off by the spinning disc might have obscured the pilots by the time Wilson and the others got to the window. This, of course, is pure speculation.
The Monday following this strange sighting, Kendall claimed that the experience had left her with no anxiety at all, just the same placid feeling she had felt during the encounter. She was also unruffled by what she knew would be the inevitable scoffing that would come from local skeptics and claimed that this event had only cemented her previously held belief in the existence UFOs:
“The reason I was so terrifically interested was because I always believed there were unidentified flying objects, but now I am absolutely convinced.”
Wilson, however, did not share Kendall’s belief in UFOs nor her easy going demeanor in the face of these unknown visitors. When she saw the abnormal aircraft all that rippled through her was sense of alarm and fear. It’s interesting to note the different interpretations that these women had to the same event.
Some researchers have theorized that Kendall’s relaxed demeanor in the face of such a fantastic encounter was due to the fact that she was overcome by some kind of hypnotic “wave” emanating from the ship that gave her a mild euphoric buzz which she described as a “tingling” sensation. Others hypothesize that it was the inherently “peaceful manner” of the two, masked ufonauts, along with her willingness to accept that alien life forms from out of this world might exist, that dissipated the apprehension that many feel Kendall ought to have experienced.
Kendall, wanting there to be an official record of this incredible incident, decided to record it in the hospital’s working schedule. This is the entry she jotted down following the event:
“At 5 a.m. I saw a flying saucer as low as the third floor of the hospital when I pulled the curtains. There were two men or figures in the dome flying towards Victoria. The bottom of the saucer was brilliantly lit and also the dome — New Year’s morning.”
A later reconstruction of proceedings would reveal that Kendall — who admitted to having a poor sense of direction — was mistaken when she suggested that the UFO had flown toward Victoria in her memo.
This, according to researchers, implied that the flying saucer headed south, when later sightings would confirm that it actually traveled in a northeasterly direction. Although it might just as easily have changed direction when it disappeared from the nurses’ view.
Despite Kendall’s poor directional judgment, she knew what she had seen was real and in the weeks following this odd episode she found that she had been profoundly affected by her encounter with these allegedly alien beings. Kendall explained how her visiting brother and co-workers noticed a difference in her behavior in the days following the incident:
“For at least a week after that I didn’t feel quite like my usual self. I think that normally I am an outgoing sort of person, but now I felt very subdued and some of the other nurses said I seemed preoccupied.”
Soon after, Kendall regained her composure, and hospital routines were quickly reestablished, but this would not be the last run-in that the good citizens of the Vancouver Island region would have with allegedly alien beings that wintery day.
CONFIRMATION AND CONTEXT:
As if the word of four professional caregivers would not be substantial enough to warrant serious debate for this case as being one of the most significant close encounters of the 20th Century, there would be other, completely unrelated, eyewitnesses that would seem to corroborate the fact that there was an anomalous object soaring in the skies above Vancouver island on January 1, 1970.
Before we delve any deeper, I think it warrants noting that these events happened over 40-years ago, long before the genesis of the current information age in which we are all entrenched. While word-of-mouth remains one of the most effective means of communication, it is by no means the swiftest and in the days before cell phones and the world wide web, information moved at a snail’s pace when compared to today.
So, as surprising as it may seem to us citizens of the 21st Century, news of this astonishing UFO encounter did not “officially” break until the following week, when the story was published in the Cowichan Herald on January 7, 1970, under the title “Another Saucer Sighted This Time Within 60 feet.” Surely information in the form of rumor and hearsay spread like a virus in an airplane, but most folks in the area wouldn’t even have their first inkling of these events for days. This fact would seem to make the plethora of eyewitnesses who came forward over the course of that eerie New Year’s Day all the more credible.
THE TRUCKER, HIS WIFE AND THE UFO
The first set of eyewitnesses to come forward before the tale of the nurses and the ufonauts hit the presses was a truck driver and his wife who were driving home following a rowdy New Years Eve celebration.
The husband — whose name is evidently in the official report on this case, but not on the public record — admitted to having had a few drinks at the party, but insisted that the experience he and his wife had with the UFO left him “cold sober.” He also felt the incident was of such significance that he was willing to reveal his illegal driving condition to researchers, which would seem to indicate just how sincere his testimony was.
According to their account, the married couple was driving home at approximately 5:00 am., which means that — assuming that we’re dealing with the same potentially interstellar device — their sighting occurred either directly before or directly after the encounter reported by the Nurses of the CDH. The trucker insisted that he and his wife had seen a brilliant white light, which he described as being “as big as a house” hovering just above their home. The eyewitnesses further elaborated that the object was ovoid and emitted multiple shafts of light, which pointed downward, uniting into a single shaft.
The couple later claimed that this convex shape made the UFO look like a child’s spinning top. The pair stared at this anomalous object for just a few moments before it abruptly soared skyward and disappeared from view. While conceding to being slightly buzzed, he emphasized the veracity of his and his wife’s account:
“I may have had a few drinks, but I know perfectly well that had nothing to do with what I saw, and my wife saw it, too.”
THE SCHOOL CREW SPIES A FLYING HULA HOOP
At this point the chronology of events gets a bit garbled, but when rifling through the accounts, it seems that this next alleged sighting occurred later that same morning, when a grade school aide named Edith Beiling — along with another aide, two students, a teacher and the school secretary — claimed to have seen an unusual airborne object above the Alexander Elementary School, where they all worked.
The group first saw the silently spinning, apparently ring-shaped UFO through the window of the grammar School. According to Beiling:
“We saw it through a window from inside the school at first, then we rushed outside to get a better look. We were all pretty excited, and I think there was one who was even quite frightened. I felt like ringing the school bell but decided I had better not… The ring definitely looked as if it was made of some solid substance. It was like a very large heavy hula hoop and the material looked like thick rolled-up plastic. It seemed to change in size slightly, perhaps because it was moving up and down, and we didn’t have any real idea what size it was but I’d say a large plane could have fitted into it about fifteen times.”
While Beiling was convinced that the object was “hula hoop” shaped, she did concede that it was an overcast day and it was therefore difficult to discern with complete assuredness if the gray center of the ship was a dull metal or merely the clouds poking through.
Regardless of whether or not the craft was ring-shaped — which may have been an illusion caused by the speedily spinning craft — the eyewitnesses all agreed that they were looking at a solid object and not some kind of cloud formation.
The sighting lasted approximately 3-minutes before the object disappeared from view. The rest of that New Year’s Day would prove to be a less eventful… that is, until the sun went down. That would be when one of the most noteworthy sightings in this shocking UFO flap would occur.
THE DRUMMOND ENCOUNTER
Established in 1860, and located approximately 10-miles away from the CDH, the quaint village of Mill Bay is nestled on the southeast shore of Vancouver Island and would serve as the site of what many believe to be the second most significant — and, in many ways, most alarming — encounter in this wave of anomalous airborne objects.
A 22 year-old nautical pilot and shipwright by the name of Jim Drummond had used his boat building expertise to convert an aged tugboat into a comfortable home, which he shared with his 18 year-old bride Dianne and their son. The boat was moored to a jetty adjacent to the home of Jim’s mother, Bea Drummond, whose house rested right on the shoreline of Mill Bay.
Bea would be the first to bear witness to this extraordinary, floating object when, at about 7 pm., when she walked out her back door to call in her son and his family in for New Year’s dinner. She described the beginning of this unusual event, which would prove to be every bit as bizarre as the nurses’ encounter from earlier that day:
“It was about seven o’clock and Jim and Dianna were still on the boat, anchored close to shore, when I went outside to call them in to dinner. Then I noticed a light in the sky moving over the bay. I couldn’t tell how big it was, it was so bright, and it had a yellow-orangey glow like sunlight. I got so excited I yelled to my son to look.”
Jim heard his mother’s excited screams and looked skyward. His eyes immediately registered the uncharacteristic object and he wasted no time in retrieving both his telescope and his camera from within the cabin.
He would later tell investigators that in the course of his job as a ship’s pilot he was accustomed to calculating the bearings of far-off objects, which is why he had confidence in the estimations he made regarding the strange flying object that evening. According to Jim:
“I looked up and saw this light coming in from the north, just about in line with our boat. It was skimming right under the overcast, which was about 900-feet. I ran into the cabin and grabbed my telescope and camera, and my wife came out with me to look. We were really excited.”
Sadly — though just as likely accurately — Jim surmised that the unconventional vessel would just look like a smudge of light against a sea of blackness, so he set down his the camera and began scrutinizing the UFO through his telescope. Jim described what he saw that chilly eve:
“It was sort of egg-shaped, in a vertical position, but the top and bottom were indistinct. It seemed to be transparent on top, and inside it I thought I could see a set of lights but I couldn’t really make out any details.”
With the exception of the “necklace” of lights, Jim’s description seems uncannily similar to the nurses. Bea, the justifiably concerned matriarch of the family, frantically urged her son to get his family off the boat and into the relative safety of her house.
Hoping to facilitate their passage over the dark pier, she flicked on the flood light attached to the back porch, filling the yard with light. This would appear to illicit an unexpected response from the UFO.
Without warning, the radiant, amber-ish object plummeted nearly 300-feet and began hovering between the house and the tugboat — effectively cutting off the younger Drummonds’ passage to the shore — but before either party could react, an even more alarming (and, according to the laws of physics, seemingly impossible) incident transpired. In Jim’s own words:
“Just at that point something came out of that thing, which by then had slowed down almost to a stop. It was a ray of light like a very thin neon tube, and it was in pieces, something like the dots and dashes of morse code. It came down in a curve and then it flashed right out, all of it at the same time. My hair just stood up on end. I couldn’t imagine anything like it.”
Just when it must have seemed that things were going to go from bad to worse, the object suddenly shot back up to its previous altitude, then soared southward and out of sight. On shore, Bea tried to follow the UFOs trajectory by dashing around her home, but to no avail. According to her account:
“I ran out to the other side of my house but I couldn’t see over the trees. I tried to phone some of the neighbors but I couldn’t get through on the party line.”
Jim continued to watch the vehicle’s departure through his telescope, marveling at the curious structure. Later he would testify that he was positive that it was not a conventional aircraft due to its irregular shape and lack of colored navigational lights or any sound . According to Jim:
“It was brighter in the middle and I could see four distinct lights of the same color that looked like tips of candles only a bit bigger. I have never heard of anything that could maneuver that slow and fast without making some sort of noise.”
When the nurses’ account was printed in the Cowichan Leader the next week it was accompanied by a smaller article simply titled “Second Sighting.” Nevertheless, according to Bea’s daughter — and Jim’s sister — Fran Drummond, her mother was reticent to even speak of the event up until her death in 2007, for fear of being labeled as a “nut.”
Sadly, such is the curse that befalls far too many who bear witness to a fascinating, yet — at least by current scientific standards — unclassifiable event and have the courage to speak out about it. One can’t help but to wonder how many other potential witnesses to these (and similar) events remained tragically silent for just that very reason.

Night Shift Nurses and the Flying Saucer Men-part II
Night Shift Nurses and the Flying Saucer Men-part II
JUDGE HALLET AND SEES A GLOWING EGG
Judge George Hallett and his wife were entertaining three guests at a celebratory New Year’s dinner, which they were hosting at their Mill Bay home at the same time that the Drummonds were temporarily severed from Bea’s home by a glowing egg-shaped device. With their home being located directly behind Bea Drummond’s house, the Halletts and company were in a unique position to confirm their UFO account… and that’s exactly what they did.
According to Canadian private investigator, Leanne Jones, who reconstructed the case in 2008, the Halletts’ sighting directly followed the Drummonds’ run-in. The guests at the dinner party all claimed that they watched as a massive orange light passed leisurely along the water’s edge opposite the Halletts’ home. According to Judge Hallet:
“This was no ordinary aircraft, and it was no plastic-bag trick either. It was making no sound that we could detect, it was moving very slowly and it was enormous. I’m quite sure no one could play a trick with such a large apparatus without being spotted. We watched it for about five minutes until it seemed to disappear into the clouds.”
THE DEER LODGE SIGHTINGS
It would be easy to assume that after no less than five potentially harrowing encounters with members of the human race that these aliens would call it a day, but that was not to be the case.
Just moment following both the Hallett and Drummond sightings, the ubiquitous UFO made its presence known yet again on Mill Bay. This time the glowing object appeared to the attendees of yet another dinner party, which was being hosted by Arthur Gillam and his wife at the Deer Lodge restaurant just off the Island highway, south of Mill Bay.
While this sighting occurred at a greater distance than either the Drummonds’ or Halletts’ sightings, all of the observers in attendance agreed that they saw a colossal, glowing sphere cruising over the Saanich Peninsula, about 10-miles to the east. According to Arthur Gillam:
“All we could see was a large ball of light moving quite slowly, much slower than an airplane. It must have been very bright for us to see it from that distance. I don’t think a helicopter would have been that bright.”
While in and of itself this long distance sighting is nothing to get worked up about, taken in conjunction with the Drummonds’ frightening run-in and Judge Hallett and his cohorts observations, it serves to further cement the fact that there was a genuinely anomalous aircraft soaring over Mill Bay that New Year’s Day eve. And while there’s no proof that these events are even remotely related to the CDH incident of that morning, the circumstantial evidence seems too obvious to ignore.
PRELIMINARY SIGHTINGS:
There can be little doubt that January 1, 1970, was a seminal day in the history of North American UFO encounters, but — according to various eyewitness and newspaper reports — the residents of Vancouver Island had been plagued by strange nighttime visitors for years previous to the events in question.
THE MAYOR, THE DOE AND THE UFO
Perhaps the most auspicious eyewitness to these incidents was the then mayor of Duncan — the city within which the CDH is nestled — Jim Quaife. Quaife claimed that in late 1964, he was relaxing in his home when he heard what he described as a roaring turbine-like sound.
They mayor leapt to his feet, yanked back the curtain and looked out the window. What he saw would be something he would never forget. Quaife asserted that his entire backyard was bathed in brilliant white light, which emanated from an unknown source above. He later stated that his eye had been caught by a doe frozen like a proverbial “deer in headlights” in his orchard.
The Mayor wasted no time in grabbing his rifle and charging outside. The moment he stepped out his door the light disappeared, enabling him to see a large, non-aerodynamic craft, which soundlessly sped off at a tremendous rate of speed. This would not be Quaife’s final encounter with a bizarre, airborne visitor.
On January 13th, 1970, the Mayor arrived home after a city council meeting to find his neighbor staring skyward at a bulky, unknown craft that hovered above a nearby power plant pulsating with a purple radiance. Quaife rushed into the house to fetch his binoculars and his wife. The trio watched this strange pulsing object perform ostensibly impossible aerial maneuvers — including abrupt reversals of direction and dead stops — for at least 10-minutes, until the vessel soared off at breakneck speed toward Mt. Provost, then cut at a 90-degree angle and shot straight up.
According to the Mayor, the following day an article was published in the “Times Colonist” regarding an amateur astronomer and UFO buff by the name of Vernon Stanley-Jones, who had constructed his own observation tower on Richard’s Trail road in Duncan. Stanley-Jones not only claimed to have spied the UFO, but he also had a theory regarding its agenda… a theory which was shared by the Mayor himself.
BEEPERS AND THE ENERGY PIRATES
Vernon Stanley-Jones had erected his observation tower near his home on Vancouver Island, not far from CDH, where Nurse Kendall and her cohorts claimed to have seen the spinning saucer. He was fascinated by the mysteries of the cosmos and even more intrigued by the allegedly unearthly visitors that had made their presence so obvious in his hometown.
With that in mind, Stanley-Jones was exceedingly diligent in collecting evidence regarding the rash of UFO sightings taking place in the region, but it wouldn’t be until five days after the initial flap that he would have a close encounter of his own, though it was not the first time that he claimed to have seen a UFO.
The event in question occurred on Lakes Road on the evening of January 6, 1970, when he and his wife spied a massive, orange, disc-shaped object flying slowly over Lakes Road hill at approximately 11:00 pm. Stanley-Jones pulled over to the side of the road and killed his headlights, while he and his wife watched this amazing aircraft float between 500 and 1,000-feet of the ground for about 8-minutes.
At some point during this sighting, the couple — and other unnamed eyewitnesses — stated that the UFO emitted a series of “fireballs” as it made its way northward. While these witnesses described “fireballs,” one can’t help but to wonder if these fireballs might be a long distance interpretation of the strange Morse code-like series of illuminated dashes that Jim Drummond claimed to have seen through his telescope. Either way, Stanley-Jones — who described the craft as the biggest thing he’d ever seen — described their sighting:
“When it reached the bottom of the hill, it paused briefly and then turned right and flew over Duncan. When it was over the center of Duncan it stopped again and we watched it just hanging there for awhile and then it moved off due west more rapidly.”
As the vehicle sped out of sight, the couple raced to a nearby friend’s home and borrowed a pair of binoculars. Sadly they were only able to reacquire the oddly moving object for a few moments before it disappeared for good. Stanley-Jones then speculated if this might herald the return of a phenomenon that folks had dubbed the “beepers.”
He later explained to a local reporter, Sharon Currie, that two years previous individuals from the Cowichan region claimed to have heard weird, electronic “beeping sounds, but couldn’t see anything.” He also asserted that it similar sounds had been picked up on an 80-meter band by a ham radio operator, but offered no explanation of their origins. Stanley-Jones story, which was published on January 14, 1970, was titled “Local Witnesses Claim U.F.O.’s Eject Fireballs.” He is an excerpt from her “Fireballs” story:
“Fire-balls ejected from an UFO hovering over Maple Bay and Crofton area last week could mark the return of “the beepers.” Vern Stanley-Jones, President of the Cowichan-Chemainus UFO Club, advocated. Stanley-Jones considered an expert on UFOs for more than a decade, mooted such a possibility after he, his wife and several other people in the area witnessed a large bright, yellow-orange craft cruising over the area Tuesday January 6th 1970.”
As if enigmatic “beepers” were not enough, according to investigator Leanne Jones, the area where the couple saw the UFO on Lake Road was less than 2-miles from the giant power grid mentioned by Quaife in his account. Based on this correlation, both Stanley-Jones and the Mayor proposed that this luminescent craft was in all probability making “fuel stops” and “sucking up energy” from the grid.
Just about any UFO enthusiast is familiar with the hypothesis that extraterrestrials (or extra-dimensionals) are visiting Earth for the purpose of exploiting our raw materials, be they water, gold or electricity. Bearing that in mind, one can understand how Quaife and Stanley-Jones might have come to this conclusion. According to Quaife:
“Actually I didn’t talk with Vern until after I spotted his report about the event in the Times Colonist a day or so later. When I called and advised him that I thought the craft was over his neck of the woods he stated that he thought it was over Duncan. At this point I suggested that it was neither, it had to be somewhere in-between which would have placed it over or near, the AC/DC substation on the Island Highway, I then suggested that the craft may have been “refueling” by tapping into the energy field of the substation. Vernon immediately questioned why I thought they needed to draw on electric energy and I related the story of my first incident on Riverside Road a few years earlier, that I distinctly heard a “turbine like” sound. He then agreed, saying that they have to refuel somewhere, and maybe that is how and where!”
It’s a theory that Leanne Jones seems to support:
“Perhaps, ‘Sonoluminescence ’[the emission of short bursts of light from imploding bubbles in a liquid when excited by sound] is the true source of UFO propulsion. Perhaps, we have been too naïve to realized until now that ‘UFO Piracy,’ i.e. the theft of Earth’s energy resources, may be one of the major reasons for UFO activities around Earth, as well as, government secrecy and denial. The possibility that Alien Presence(s) may be leeching electrical and nuclear energy (as well as human DNA and animal biological material) may be one of the most closely guarded secrets of all the world’s governments.”
As intriguing (and potentially terrifying) as this theory is, in my opinion there simply isn’t enough supporting evidence in this case to warrant this conclusion, but who really knows?
ONE LAST HURRAH!
In February of 1970, about month after all of the hubbub seemed to have fizzled, a farmer by the name of John Vanderhoek reported to authorities that motorists were congregating in front of his property near Vancouver Island highway in order to catch a glimpse of a “red thing in the air.” Vanderhoek claimed that the object — which was white on the top and red on the bottom — was ascending and descending, all the while varying in intensity.
As Vanderhoek made the report on the phone he watched as the lights receded into the west, finally disappearing into the mountains. The farmer and the other observers swore that there was no wind that evening and they had no doubt that the object was intelligently controlled. UFO sightings have continued in the area sporadically since then, with a report being filed as recently as July 3, 2010.
PROJECT BLUE BOOK AND THE NOT QUITE MEN IN BLACK
In the days that followed the sighting Jim Drummond claimed that he was visited by a United States Air Force officer who hailed from Nevada. The military man claimed to be a representative of “Project Blue Book.” Project Blue Book was America’s only official investigative organization supposedly dedicated to uncovering the “truth” about the UFO mystery.
Intriguingly, Project Blue Book had been disbanded just weeks before in December of 1969, following the release of the notoriously slanted Condon Committee Report, which was the unofficial title of the University of Colorado UFO Project. This assemblage was funded by the USAF to study unidentified flying objects under the direction of physicist Edward Condon from 1966 to 1968.
What was supposed to be a reasonable assessment of the UFO phenomenon, was (according to many researchers and numerous inside reports — including a documented memo from one of the men in charge) nothing but a hack job with the preordained outcome of delegitimizing the entire field of study and thus reducing public panic — and therefore interest — in UFOs. Nevertheless, the media celebrated the results of this pseudo scientific report and, whether individual reporters realize it or not, western societies in general, and the press in particular, have based their ridicule of this genuine phenomenon on the presumed authenticity of the Condon Report — as well as other misleading campaigns inspired by the Robertson Panel — ever since… but I digress.
To this day there continues to be heated debate regarding the scientific integrity of the Project Blue Book; with many suggesting that it was a poorly staffed, incompetently led organization that existed as a catch all for “crackpots” who were haranguing the Air Force, and whose primary function, much like the Condon Report, was to debunk reports, be they “legitimate” or not.
Nevertheless, in the early days of 1970, members were still “unofficially” investigating accounts, which may well make the Vancouver Island incidents the last UFO reports to be examined by the team. That having been noted, there are some researchers who speculate that the military officer who questioned Jim Drummond was actually amongst the first wave of post-Blue Book investigators, who would continue the project’s work in a more confidential fashion.
There is also the very real possibility — according to Leanne Jones — that Jim Drummond’s “USAF military man” was using Project Blue Book as a cover for another, more clandestine, organization. Jones speculated that this mystery man was not CIA or NSA, but most likely a representative of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI), which was instituting another UFO investigation project, under an as yet unknown code name. This seems reasonable considering the fact that there’s not a single government of Earth that does not take seriously the potential threat that might come from hyper-technological aircraft that can invade their airspace undetected and at will, whatever their intentions may be.
Regardless of the origins of this mysterious Air Force officer, I can find not reports of either Drummond or any other witnesses who claimed to have been followed, threatened or in any way harassed by prototypical MIB characters.
CONCLUSION:
So what to make of these incredible UFO sightings? There can be little debate that this is one of the most remarkable UFO/humanoid cases in modern history. First off, it offers up an amazing amount of corroborating evidence. Not only that, it also proffers some of the most outstanding eyewitnesses ever assembled — running the gamut from a cadre of health care professionals to a ship’s pilot to Educators and administrators to a judge to a mayor and many other respected citizens.
It’s an impressive array to say the least. In fact, if the aforementioned witnesses had claimed to observe some sort of crime rather than a UFO, then just about any jury would deliberate for mere moments before moving to convict. Even more telling is the fact that the folks involved in these cases have all stuck by their stories for over 40-years — or, at least, the duration of their lives — and none of them have made any overt efforts to exploit their experiences. Perhaps Jones put it most succinctly:
“A significant factor of this sighting is that none of the witnesses made any effort to publicize it, yet at the same time made no pretense of being secretive.”
In terms of Wilson and Kendall — who bore witness to what was arguably the most unbelievable element of the case, the humanoids — I believe that the investigators, who published the details of the case in the summer of 1970 edition of the Canadian UFO Report Vol. 1 No. 7, described their credentials as professional caregivers and as witnesses perfectly:
“Miss Doreen Kendall, a practical nurse, and Mrs. Frieda Wilson, a registered nurse, are employed together on the night shift in the extended-care ward for elderly patients at the Cowichan District Hospital at Duncan on Vancouver Island. Theirs is a position that requires a special degree of tact, maturity and gentleness of manner for it is at night that their patients, often unable to sleep, have long lonely hours in which to contemplate the little that remains for them in life. A word or gesture of comfort from the nurses on duty is all they have in their fading world until the routine of morning helps them into another day. It is immediately apparent on meeting them that Miss Kendall and Mrs. Wilson, both in late middle-age, were assigned to their particular work with these qualifications in mind. In addition to what training obviously has given them, they have an inborn quality that invites trust, and it was no surprise, after we interviewed them, that friends and former patients of each told us they would accept their word under any circumstance. Coming from several who had doubted the existence of UFOs, this was a significant tribute in light of what the two nurses (with partial confirmation by two others who arrived seconds later) said they observed outside the hospital just as 1970 was dawning on the Pacific Coast.”
As in many such media hyped flaps, there were a few hoaxers making false reports over the following months and even one case of a fake UFO being released by what many have chalked up to school kids, drunks or both. Jim Drummond actually saw this “copycat” UFO a few days after his initial sighting and had this to say about it:
“The second one wasn’t the same thing at all. You could see it was a kids’ job, not a fraction as bright, and it was just bobbing around without really going anywhere.”
Nevertheless, it should come as no surprise that professional “debunkers” have used this incident to dismiss the entire flap. Former UFO skeptic and eyewitness, Nurse Wilson, completely dismissed the idea that what she, Kendall and the other nurses saw was some kind of hoax:
”Some people say we were looking at a plastic bag with candles in it, put there as a joke. But it would take a million candles to make it as bright as that.”
Sadly many of the eyewitnesses involved with this case are no longer with us, but their accounts remain as a testament to one of the most enigmatic and intriguing close encounters of all time… and it’s worth noting that when the CDH redid the facade of the hospital following the 1970 sighting, they emblazoned it with a huge, circular, star-burst. While I’ll be the first to admit that it was likely nothing more than an aesthetic decision, part of me can’t help but wonder if someone is subtlety trying to entice these ostensibly alien visitors to return.

New Nazca Lines geoglyphs uncovered by gales and sandstorms in Peru
New Nazca Lines geoglyphs uncovered by gales and sandstorms in Peru
More shapes revealed among known geoglyphs like The Dog (pictured)
High winds and sandstorms in Peru have revealed previously undiscovered geoglyphs in the ancient Nazca Lines.
Eduardo Herrán Gómez de la Torre, a pilot and researcher, found the new shapes while flying over the desert last week, El Comercioreported.
He believes one of the geoglyphs depicts a snake 60 metres long and 4 metres wide, near the famous “hummingbird”.
A bird, camelids (possibly llamas) and a zig zag line are among the lines found etched into the ground on hills in the El Ingenio Valley and Pampas de Jumana.
Archaeologists are already trying to confirm whether they match the Paracas culture in the Ica region of Peru, which flourished from 800BC to 100BC and influenced complex textiles and ceramics at Nazca as well as the lines.
New lines are revealed by the strong winds in the Nazca
Ruben Garcia Sota, head of Ica’s archaeological authority, told El Comercio the latest discovery was “a valuable contribution to our knowledge of ancient Nazca”.
One archaeologist, Orefici Giuseppe Pecci, said the geoglyphs confirmed the close relationship between the ancient artworks and water.
The Nazca Lines cover an area of approximately 280 square miles and are believed to have been scratched into the ground over a thousand years between 500BC and 500AD.
UNESCO, which designated the area a World Heritage Site in 1994, describes the Nazca Lines as “a unique and magnificent artistic achievement that is unrivalled in its dimensions and diversity anywhere in the prehistoric world”.
Their quality, size and continuity put them among archaeology’s greatest enigmas and they are believed to have been used for astronomical rituals.
Animals, birds, insects, plants and imaginary beings are depicted as well as lines and geometric figures several kilometres long.
The largest creature is a 285 metre-long pelican and other famous geoglyphs include a spider, monkey and lizard.
One strange creature has two human hands, one with only four fingers, and everyday objects like looms are also seen.
Well people, if UFOs are not spaceships from other planets that means to me Star Travel has never been achieved – Period!
Everyone would agree that looking up on a clear night seeing the billions of stars does something inside. It inspires us and challenges our thinking. The more intelligent you are the more the sky confounds you.Yet according the large majority of scientist UFOs are not alien and there is not a shred of evidence otherwise.
Fermi’s Paradox says :“if there is other intelligent life where are they?”
What could the answer be?; They are not as technological? They are very far away? We are alone in the universe? There is no way to get to other stars?
The universe is ten billion years older than our star. Some of the stars around us are billions of years older than our sun. Now they have discovered hundreds of planets around these stars. So where are they?
The answer, in my book is: everywhere you look!
It seems they have been here for some time. They don’t seem to want us to get to know them. The scary part is they seem to interact with us in private most of the time. What would keep a intelligent species here and not communicate.
One of the answers may be the history of the human species. We rarely keep our contracts or promises. We have almost wipe out hundreds of species off the planet. We go to war at a drop of a hat. Our scientist have egos compared to rock stars. And people are afraid. The next time you go to You Tube or read a blog with comments. Notice the vicious attacks on anything UFO. It is relentless and violent name calling at best and or sexist and raciest at it’s worst. The only time that humans attack like this verbally and with no regard for discourse is fear. The fear that this be true. But that is changing. The fear of the past becomes the investigations of the future. After all these years they are taking notice.
Finally it’s up to us in the UFO Community to take the higher ground. We will never reach the fear but we can reach those who can see mature behavior. As you just heard the “Times they are a changing” and the next few years should be astonishing.

‘UFOs’ spook Delhi airport security, air force put on high alert
‘UFOs’ spook Delhi airport security, air force put on high alert
Security agencies guarding Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport have been put on high alert following the ‘regular spotting’ of suspicious flying objects in and around the airport.
On Friday morning, the Air Traffic Controller (ATC) at the Delhi airport observed flying objects thrice, in and around the airport.
Sources said the Indian Air Force even pressed a chopper into action to check the flying object. But the helicopter could not find anything.
On Tuesday too, the ATC had apparently noticed a flying object (a drone) over the runway, but had no visual evidence to support its claim.
The pilot of an Air Vistara flight from Bhubaneswar had complained of being distracted by a laser beam right while landing at IGI’s runway 29 on Wednesday night, putting the lives of hundreds of passengers at risk.
The pilot claimed that he was 6 nautical miles away from runway when he observed the laser beam, which distracted him.
The Delhi Police have prohibited the use of laser beams by any individual or group or organizers in areas around the airport under Section 144 of CrPC.
On Friday, the flying objects were first noticed by an air force officer.
“A member of Indian Air Force (IAF) sits at the ATC tower of Delhi airport. At 10:44am on Friday, he first noticed a flying object over runway 9-27, the smallest runway of Delhi airport. He reported two more objects at 10:50am and 10:55am, flying outside the airport boundary. On Tuesday, an ATC staff had claimed of having spotted a drone-like object but could not support his claim with any evidence. This time also, we do not have any evidence. But this isalarming,” said an airport official.
Sources said that a meeting of Intelligence Bureau, Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), Bureau for Civil Aviation Security and Delhi Police had been conducted and the Indian Air Force (IAF) had been asked to keep a strict watch on aerial threats. Sources said that the IAF has been authorised to shoot down any suspicious objects if need be. The CISF, which is responsible for the security of airport, have been asked to keep a watch on the air side.
“Even the ATC radar couldn’t capture anything on Tuesday. On Friday, some staff claimed that the radar had captured a flying object. But later we found no evidence. No one is sure as to what is happening. But we have put everyone on alert as we do not want to take any risks, especially with the VIP movements due to the India-Africa Forum Summit,” the official added.
Sources claimed that the suspicious flying objects on Friday were 8 nautical miles away from the airport.

Scientists find odd bright spots, could be another universe bumping into ours
Scientists find odd bright spots, could be another universe bumping into ours
Scientists believe they have found proof of parallel universes, a phenomenon that they have long been theorizing about. Astronomers have detected peculiar bright spots that lead them to think another universe is bumping into our own.
The finding comes from analyses of data of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) –essentially the Big Bang echo left behind - collected by the European Space Agency's Planck Space Telescope.
The scientist behind the research, Ranga-Ram Chary of Pasadena-based California Institute of Technology, has noticed that some light spots in the CMB were glowing 4,500 times brighter than expected.
This made Chary think that it could be a sign of a neighboring universe “leaking” into ours, the New Scientist reported.
Given that modern cosmological theories are speaking of a “multiverse” following the Big Bang some 13.8 billion years ago, such a collision scenario is quite possible.
Chary did not look at the CMB itself, but instead he created its model from Planck’s picture of the entire sky and “cleared” it from stars, gas and dust. Therefore, there should have been nothing left except just noise. However, this was not the case once Chary had studied the model at a certain frequency range. There were far too bright patches on the sky. If this proves to be true, it could mean that they are consequences of “cosmic fist-bumps” as our universe rammed into another, or vice versa.
It is also about how those spots look. Scientists say they can see that patches have signs of those that come from the era that they call recombination, “a few hundred thousand years after the Big Bang,” when hydrogen was created. As hydrogen consists of a single positively charged proton and a single negatively charged electron, that era has a limited range of colors.
“The implication is that collision of our Universe with an alternate Universe that has a higher baryon density is responsible for the enhanced recombination line signature,” Chary wrote in his paper submitted earlier.
Researchers say those signs are in the light of that early hydrogen.
“This signal is one of the fingerprints of our own universe,” says Jens Chluba of the University of Cambridge. “Other universes should leave a different mark.”
While these findings sound promising and have already gained the attention of other astronomers, it could be complicated to verify. The Planck telescope provides quite limited data for further study and cannot measure the spectral alterations that Chary would need to prove his discovery.
“Unusual claims like evidence for alternate universes require a very high burden of proof,” Chary wrote.
Former Canadian Minister of Defense Says: we have to be careful when dealing with Alien beings, we Could trigger An Internstellar war
Former Canadian Minister of Defense Says: we have to be careful when dealing with Alien beings, we Could trigger An Internstellar war
According to former Canadian Minister of Defense, we have to be careful when dealing with Alien beings, we could trigger an Interstellar war.
It looks like we need to watch what we are doing on Planet Earth. Former Canadian minister of defense Paul Hellyer has explicitly warned our military units to avoid shooting at UFOs.
As Minister of Defence, he oversaw the drastic and controversial integration and unification of the Royal Canadian Navy, Canadian Army, and the Royal Canadian Air Force into a single organization, the Canadian Forces. His position gave him access to several classified documents among which were those about Extraterrestrial life and UFOs.
Hellyer believes that Extraterrestrial species have visited our planet for thousands of years.
Hellyer firmly believes that we are not the only intelligent species in the cosmos and believes that Earth has been visited by Extraterrestrial beings for thousands of years. Hellyer, a former politician, writer and commentator believes that alien beings still walk among us today.
During one of his interviews where he spoke about alien life and UFOs, Hellyer stated:
“[…]there were about 50 UFOs in formation flying south from Russia across Europe, and Supreme Allied Command was very concerned and about ready to push the ‘Panic’ button when they turned around and went back over the North Pole.”
“They decided to do an investigation and they investigated for 3 years and they decided that, with absolute certainty, four species – at least – had been visiting our planet for thousands of years.”
Just like Edgar Mitchell, the former defense minister believes that alien beings are very interested in our weapons of mass destruction, such as the nuclear bomb. Hellyer believes that UFO activity on Earth has drastically increased ever since we first tested the “Atomic bomb.” The first nuclear device ever detonated was an implosion-type bomb at the Trinity test, conducted at New Mexico’s Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range on 16 July 1945.
Hellyer believes that the testing and use of weapons of mass destruction has caught the attention of extraterrestrial civilizations across the cosmos.
“They are very much afraid that we might be stupid enough to start using atomic weapons again, and this would be very bad for us and for them as well.”
There are dozens of extraterrestrial races out there. Most of them are extremely advanced technologically.
The former defense minister believes that there are many species that inhabit the cosmos:“There are about 80 different species and some of them look just like us and they could walk down the street and you wouldn’t know if you walked past one. They are what we call ‘Nordic blondes’ and also the Tall Whites who were actually working with the US Air Force in Nevada.”
“Then there’s the Short Greys as they are called, and they are the ones you see in most of the cartoons, they have very-very slim arms and legs, they are very short, just a little over 5 feet, and they have a great big head and great big brown eyes.”
Each species is, according to Hellyer, unique having its own agenda. Some of them look like us, while other species are totally different. Each one of them thinks differently.
But Hellyer also believes that the majority of extraterrestrial species that has visited Earth are benign and that these species are here to help us develop as a civilization.
“I would say that nearly all are benign and benevolent and they do want to help us, there may be one or two species which do not. That’s one of the things I’m investigating at the moment, to see who they are, what they are up to and what their agendas really are.”
UFO sightings have doubled since we have started testing and using nuclear weapons.
We cannot forget that our inferior technology is something to think about when approaching aliens. If these beings have the ability of interstellar travel, huge spaceships that defy known physics, then they certainly must have extremely advanced weaponry. We should exercise caution when dealing with aliens. But just how cautious do we have to be? Is an “Alien invasion” upon us?
“I think it’s a possibility,” says Hellyer. “But it’s a possibility especially if we shoot down every UFO that comes into our airspace without asking who they are and what they want. Right from the beginning we started scrambling planes, trying to shoot them down, but their technology was superior enough that we weren’t able to get away with it, certainly not for a long while.”
“During that period of time they could have taken us over without any trouble if they wanted to, so I think, rather than developing our own Star Wars to protect ourselves against them, we should work with the benign species that are of a vast majority and work together, and rely largely on them, of course, and cooperate, so that we would be contributing something at the same time; I don’t think there’s any point in us developing a galactic force that would tempt us to ride on our own and get into mischief, which is one of the things that some of them are concerned about.”
Hellyer believes that different Alien species are interacting between them, and even though most of them have their own interest, they share a similar goal.
“they may be interacting between themselves – I suspect that they are because there is what is called a ‘Federation’ of these people and they have rules. For example, one of the rules is that they don’t interfere with our affairs unless they are invited to – and that’s one of the reasons, probably, that we haven’t seem more of them until very recently…”
According to Hellyer, Extraterrestrial beings are very concerned about the future of mankind:
“They don’t want to tell us how to run our affairs, they have accepted the fact that this is our planet, and that we have the right to run it, but they are very concerned: they don’t think we are good stewards of our planet, we’re clear cutting our forests, we’re polluting our rivers and our lakes, and we’re dumping sewage in the oceans, and we’re doing all sorts of things which are not what good stewards of their homes should be doing.”
But we have been given a chance, a chance to do better, a chance to learn from our mistakes and a chance to take care of our planet which is very unique. Hellyer added:
“The Cosmos is based on free choice. We’re given the option of making mistakes, of making wrong choices, and I guess, what bothers some of us, is that we’ve made too many wrong choices, and not enough right choices.”
“So we’re going to have to start switching our priorities and stop spending so much time and effort on weapons to kill each other, or to dominate each other, and spend a lot more time on how to help each other to have a better life and a more just society, and life which is healthier.”
“Our future as a species, and here I mean all of the species in the world, is potentially at risk if we don’t figure what’s going on and work together and try to make life more amenable for all of us, and to work with our neighbors from other planets as well.”

Ufo Germany That With Beam of Light pulls down a Tir
Ufo Germany That With Beam of Light pulls down a Tir
In the video that we will see, an incredible ray of light from the sky, hitting a truck and turns it upside down, all this at night.
Really amazing what happens in this German motorway, in a night shot of the surveillance cameras, there is suddenly a hole opened in the sky, a light beam diameter huge falls in the street. Everything has been documented and reported by the German television that provides this service. There are no scientific explanations for an event of this kind that has been classified as a sighting of something extraterrestrial, be it an unidentified flying object (UFO), a weapon or any other material from unknown origin. The power supplied by the light beam is so powerful and fast that it was almost imposbile for drivers Tir able to notice it in time to be able to avoid, it is fractions of a second.

Wikileaks : Confirm Existence Of Extraterrestrial Life
Wikileaks : Confirm Existence Of Extraterrestrial Life
This year alone we’ve seen a tremendous step forward regarding UFO disclosure. In early May, researchers, activists, political leaders and high ranking military/agency personnel from around the world testified to the reality of the UFO/extraterrestrial phenomenon in front of several former United States members of congress. To watch an interview with the former 2008 presidential candidate and ex-congressman Mike Gravel (who participated in the hearings).
Not only has the world heard from all of these credible people, its also been privy to official documentation released by dozens of governments worldwide that outline the reality of the UFO phenomenon. Documents indicate that UFOs are of concern to governments, and they put a significant amount of time, effort and resources into studying them.
It’s now a fact that UFOs are tracked on radar, performing maneuvers that defy our idea of physics. Jets are constantly scrambled to take a closer look at them. This is no longer a conspiracy theory, it’s a fact. Release of files began early in 2007 with the UK, among others. Since then they’ve released thousands of pages every year, with the latest ones published.
Behind the scenes, high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense. – Former CIA Director, Roscoe Hillenkoetter, 1960.
The UFO/extraterrestrial phenomenon is extremely top secret, access to this type of documentation and the deeper truth behind it is almost impossible. CIA directors, presidents and other high ranking officials barely have any access to these programs. That being said, all of the information that’s already out in the public domain is overwhelming. It makes you wonder how far down the rabbit hole this topic goes.
As most of the world today already knows, Wikileaks is an international, online, non-profit organization that publishes secret information, news leaks, and classified material from anonymous sources. They’ve been a tremendous threat to the controlling elite for a number of years, and have gained the attention of major mainstream media outlets worldwide. For the most part, these mainstream media outlets have bashed Assange, pointing to the idea that the release of classified documents is a threat to national security. That’s not true, it’s more like a threat to the truth that the elite try to cover up on a daily basis that would threaten their ability to control the human race.
Since a large amount of official documentation has already been released, documents from the Wikileaks cables shouldn’t come as a big surprise. Assange has already mentioned that there are yet to be published cables that make reference to UFOs.
On January 13 Ambassador called on Dushanbe Mayor and Chairman of the upper house of Parliament Mahmadsaid Ubaidulloev at his parliamentary office. The Mayor began the meeting with a lengthy discourse on Afghanistan, thanking the United States for its contributions and sacrifices there, and saying that U.S. activities there were very important “as we enter the third millennium and the 21st century.” Ubaidulloev thought the main task there was to build a sense of national identity among ethnically disparate groups, and said the United States was an example for this. He noted that “war is very dangerous”, and said “we know there is life on other planets, but we must make peace here first.
In a platitude-ridden meeting, Dushanbe Mayor Mahmadsaid Ubaidulloev said upcoming elections would be free and fair, that contributions to the Roghun Dam were voluntary, and that the losses suffered by the United States in Afghanistan were felt by Tajiks as their own. Ubaidulloev asked for help in getting Tajik students admitted to Harvard University, but effectively declined to help find a new location for an American Corner in Dushanbe. He asserted the existence of life on other planets, caveating this by noting that we should focus on solving our problems on Earth.
It’s not surprising that that the U.S. ambassador in Canada was concerned with this group. High level agencies are also concerned with abductees and ET contactees. Their mail is stamped in a special way, they are constantly surveyed by army intelligence, phone tapping and are also confronted by ‘men in black’ (intelligence officers). Agencies that are active in the UFO phenomenon keep close tabs on UFO/extraterrestrial activity outside of their sphere of influence. That being said, again, it’s no surprise that the U.S. ambassador had an interest in this ‘UFO cult.’ Anything extraterrestrial would be a concern to the elite, as they are the ones active in the cover up.
We are living in an extremely unique time, our world has become much more transparent than ever before. One aspect of multiple realizations is the UFO/extraterrestrial phenomenon, but it seems to branch into every aspect of our reality depending on how far down the rabbit hole you want to go. Our perception of life on other planets largely comes from external sources like television programming. As a result, many are filled with fear when giving thought to this subject. Hopefully as we move through the shift in consciousness the planet is currently experiencing, fear will dissipate as it will no longer serve the human race. This is undoubtedly one of the largest realizations in human history. The only thing that goes beyond it, in my opinion, is the realization of humanities infinite potential to create a new experience from a place of peace, love, co-operation and understanding.

Former Navy Officer Exposes TOP Secret Government Pact With Aliens
Former Navy Officer Exposes TOP Secret Government Pact With Aliens
Willingly or not, some people get to know the dark side of the world, mostly involving Governmental agencies or secret agencies. Most of the time they are dragged along, as the idea of power and secret information as well as being part of top organizations full of “influential” people can easily steal someone’s mind and soul.
Fortunately for us, not all individuals are the same. Some seek redemption after a life of sins, others lose their minds or even commit suicide but, there is also the case when an individual is stronger than the rest and he seeks to enlighten the rest of us, divulging secret information he had access to.
In a situation such as this, they are either considered delirious or absurd or they are assassinated (sooner or later).
This particular case captured our attention because it describes a secret UFO organization and talked about relevant data concerning extraterrestrial situations along the years.
Milton William Cooper was a member of the Intelligence Briefing Team of the Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet or in other words he worked for the Navy.
On July 2, 1989, in Las Vegas, Nevada, he unveiled TOP Secret information regarding the Government secret agency MJ-12 or MAJIC 12.
He stated that the source of the material was an ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence) counter intelligence operation against MJ-12 in order for the Navy to find out the truth. It seems that at that point, the Navy was not pleased that they were not part of the “real action” so they decided to get involved in order to obtain some new pieces of technology designed using the exploited aliens the Government had in captivity as well as involvement into some of the secret projects.
I, Milton William Cooper, do solemnly swear that the information contained in this file is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. I swear that I saw this information in 1972 in the performance of my duties as a member of Intelligence Briefing Team of the Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet as a Petty Officer in the US Navy. I swear that I underwent hypnotic regression in order to make the information as accurate as possible.
History will be the judge of me and this information and I have no fear of that judgement. I swear that this information is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.
Here is the list with key words he provided, containing top secret information involving the CIA, NSA, MJ-12, Presidents of the US, alive aliens, UFOs and weapons of mass destruction:
• GRUDGE – Contains 16 volumes of documented information collected from the beginning of the United States’ investigation of UFOs and IAC – Identified Alien Crafts. The project was funded by CIA confidential funds and money from the illicit drug trade. The purpose of project GRUDGE was to collect all scientific, technological, medical and intelligent information from UFO and IAC sightings and contacts with alien life forms. This orderly file of collected information has been used to advance the United States Space Program.
• MJ-12 is a secret control group. President Eisenhower authorized a secret societyknown as The Jason Society in order to sift through all the facts, evidence. Technology. Lies and deception and find the true answer behind the alien question. The society was made up of 32 of the most prominent men in the country in 1972 and the top 12 members were designated MJ-12. MAJIC 12 has total control of everything, they are nominated by the code J-1, J-2, J-3, all the way through the members of the Jason Society.
• MJ-12 assassinated President Kennedy when he informed them that he was going to tell the public all the facts regarding the alien presence. He was killed by the Secret Service agent driving his car and it is clearly visible in the film withheld from the public view. A secret meeting was constructed for MJ-12 in Maryland and it was described as only accessible by air. It contained full living, recreational and other facilities for MJ-12 and the Jason Society. It is code named “The Country Club”
• AQUARIUS – is a project which compiled the history of alien presence and their interaction with Homosapiens upon this planet for the last 25,000 years and culminating with the Basque people who live in the mountainous country on the border of France and Spain and the Syrians.
• POUNCE – is the project formed to recover all downed or crashed craft and aliens.
• REDLIGHT – is the project to test fly recovered alien craft. It is conducted at AREA 51 in Nevada. It was jump-started when the aliens gave us craft and helped us fly them. The initial project was somehow successful in that we flew a recovered craft but it blew up in the air and the pilots were killed. The project was suspended at that time until the aliens agreed to help us.

UFO Crash Lands in Lake Winnipeg
UFO Crash Lands in Lake Winnipeg
This particular event which occurred in a desolate place from Canada during extreme-weather conditions forced the military to cover-up tracks once again.
Here is a brief description over what happened and our analysis of the event:
In Manitoba, Canada, on the Jackhead Reservation, rumors spread about a possible UFO crash landing into Lake Winnipeg.
Following this report, the Canadian military has quickly made their way to the highlighted area, blocking all access to unauthorized personnel.
During the military operation, nobody was permitted to enter or leave the reservation, while the residents of the area were visited by troops telling them that an emergency training excercise is ongoing and that they shouldn’t leave their homes until this ends.
This was a curious action because an extremely cold front was already being felt over Manitoba for a last couple of days, making time spent outdoors a dangerous activity.
The military deployed a large number of troops and equipment, effectively suppressing all view of what crashed into the lake or what they were doing there. Fortunately, some brave citizens facing the harsh weather conditions managed to take a few pictures of the gear used by the military, highlighting the importance of this “exercise” in this eventless area of Canada.
Owned by the Aboriginal people, the Jackhead Reservation is governed by their own laws which do not allow for operations such as these to take place, making the Canadian military intruders under these circumstances.
A native by the name of Dakotah Traverse stated that no major event took place here until now and that UFOs are not a rare sight around these parts either:
My people have been seeing these kind of things for years now. It’s funny that the military has entered my reserve for training – which they have never before, and this sudden and with so much troops. My reserve has never seen this much attention before, especially by the military, but neither from anyplace else. I wouldn’t even call this place a blip on the map, it’s so small.”
While people reported seeing military forces dragging a strange disc-shaped object using snowmobiles, the Canadian army officials stated that this was just one big training exercise teaching soldiers on how to deal with a plane crash in the Arctic and rescue maneuvers.
There’s no aliens, just my friends in the air force who are out there helping us on this exercise. I have the commander of that air force contingent sitting right beside me and you know, he assures us that there was not a UFO, but that was him.”
It is rather unlikely that an actual training exercise took place because they refused to give in any data about the supposed event. No evidence has been released in order to assure us this was indeed a plane crash training operation.
Whatever the case may be, we have drawn the line, speculating in favor of a UFO landing in the lake that could either have ET origins or it could be a craft designed using the latest military technology (which we believe to be extremely advanced) that crashed as a result of really bad weather.
UFOs Are Being Spotted Regularly At The Delhi Airport, Indian Air Force Put On High Alert
UFOs Are Being Spotted Regularly At The Delhi Airport, Indian Air Force Put On High Alert
Things have been getting a little weird for the security agencies working in and around Delhi, Indra Gandhi International (IGI) Airport. They have been put on red alert after 'regular spotting' of suspicious objects flying in and around the international airport.
On Friday, the Air Traffic Controller (ATC) at the Delhi airport spotted unidentified flying objects not once, but thrice in and around the airport. While it could've very well been a drone, there isn't any video, or photographic evidence to support the claim.
In fact, an Air Vistara pilot flying in from Bhubaneswar complained of being distracted by a laser beam right before he landed on IGI's runway 29 on Wednesday night. It's a scary situation considering the number of lives at risk. The pilot apparently observed a laser beam distracting him 6 nautical miles away from the runway.
ufosightingsdaily.com
An airport official first recalls, " A member of Indian Air Force (IAF) sits at the ATC tower of Delhi airport. At 10:44 am on Friday, he first noticed a flying object over runway 9-27, the smallest runway of Delhi airport. He reported two more objects at 10:50 am and 10:55 am, flying outside the airport boundary. On Tuesday, an ATC staff had claimed of having spotted a drone-like object but could not support his claim with any evidence. This time also, we do not have any evidence. But this is alarming."
It is being said that the IAF has been authorised to shoot down any suspicious object if need be. All the security teams including the Intelligence Bureau, Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), Bureau for Civil Aviation Security and Delhi Police have been asked to keep a strict watch on aerial threats.

A Couple of Traits Aliens Must Have According To Science
A Couple of Traits Aliens Must Have According To Science
This list starts off making the presumption that Alien is equivalent to those who might come a vistin’, rather than life that we might discover through our own exploration of the Universe. Several of their ideas are misguided or just wrong, and we will tell you why.
Aggression
What separates humans from other species on the planet in terms of evolution comes down to a simple principle: aggression. For any species to thrive within a given habitat it has to confront adversity and overcome it. These struggles drive evolutionary adaptation. The dominant life form on a planet (which aliens would almost certainly have to be) must have been able to master their environment.
A paper published by the University of Missouri suggests this means they would be aggressive—they would populate and conquer their surroundings in order to progress. If they are more intelligent than we are, they will likely see us as a resource, the way we view farm animals and their habitats.
This is just wrong. Humans did not survive due to aggressiveness. There are plenty of animals more aggressive, and better adapted to aggressive behavior than we are. What sets us apart is our ability to cooperate with each other, to overcome aggression by recognizing the common good, and this is, in some regards the opposite of aggression. An alien species would need to have learned to cooperate to travel to the stars. That is the true trait that should be listed here.
Explorers
Any life form that reaches Earth will, by definition, be an explorer. Looking to our own culture for clues, we immediately see how unexplored territories are targeted for their resources. We wonder what lands might possess that can help further our causes. Look at Columbus and the Americas, Marco Polo and the East Indies, the Vikings and most of Europe.
According to Stephen Hawking, aliens are likely to seek out other planets in order to colonize them or mine them for resources. Aliens may not come to destroy our planet, but they will in all likelihood seek to exploit what they find to increase their race’s reach, as again this is the hallmark of a developed species.
Hardly even worth mentioning as it could be taken as a given. Though I cannot agree with Hawking in the idea that an alien race would need to find other planets for resources. Even we are looking at our own asteroid belt or mining comets for resources. They are there, in plenty, and in purer form than on a volcanic planet that tends to stir things up. It would take tens of thousands of years, probably more, to use up the resources of one solar system. If they have mined their entire system, unless we are the next nearer system they have nothing to gain by coming here.
Viral and Bacterial Immunity
It’s a common trope in Science Fiction that aliens, having never encountered Earth bacteria before, will succumb to simple diseases which they have no immunity to. Just look at the pilgrims and conquistadors, and the havoc smallpox and typhus wreaked on unexposed native populations. But conquistadors and Aztecs were both human. According to Seth Shostak, senior engineer from SETI, bacteria are limited to the life forms they are biochemically related to.
Our germs have evolved to survive on our unique DNA. Even viruses and bacterial infections that infect one species on our planet will only rarely spread to another. Dogs don’t routinely get the ‘flu, for example. Any alien life form that invaded earth will likely be immune to earthly diseases, so don’t expect a War of the Worlds solution.
Bacteria and viruses also adapt, some quite quickly to survive on new sources of energy. This is one of the reasons the HIV virus is so difficult to treat, and one of the reasons why bacteria are used in evolution research. We simply do not have information about alien life to make this statement with any degree of certainty.
They Won’t Eat Humans
What if they want to feed on us? While a scary thought, it’s unlikely. A race advanced enough to achieve space travel surely will have conquered its need to prey on living animals. The journey to earth from any potentially life-supporting planet is incredibly long, and for any species to attempt it they would have to have sustainable food production methods already in place.
Further, the digestive setup of a creature that evolved in a different sector of the universe is not very likely to be compatible with the kinds of proteins found on our planet. It would be inconceivable that the minimal nourishment resources found on our planet would ever justify the energy spent to obtain it. An alien race would already be adept at harnessing energy by that point. So we won’t be cattle.
Well, while this idea has many of the same problems that resource mining has, let’s look at it for what it is, simply for the sake of argument. It is very likely that there will be life we do not understand in the Universe. There will also very likely be life we can readily comprehend, and if they were to come here looking for a bunch of Human Happy Meals, then eating us in the flesh need not be necessary to satisfy that craving.
IF Aliens are skipping around the Galaxy looking for something to nosh, then they will have the capacity to render the life forms they find into something digestible and palatable. If they can’t then there is no purpose to be served. At the very least, if they have a similar biochemistry, then we can be rendered down for our component organic compounds.
Impersonal Killers
How many people have ever moved into a new home and found a colony of bugs as an extremely unwelcome surprise? How many of those people then squished each and every offender by hand, swinging the shoe of death over and over again until the job was done? No, most people would call an exterminator to gas the home and lay down poisons for the survivors.
Aliens, like any advanced species, will make use of technology to their advantage. They will probably eradicate the life forms on a planet they are considering for their own uses before landing. Forget skies filled with single-pilot saucers firing laser beams at the Capitol Building. Expect a quick and efficient, probably biological, end to our existence.
This is really just a restatement of the Aggression and Resources arguments, and with as little sense as either.
We simple Humans recognize tool use in animals as otherwise unsophisticated as birds, and lower primates. I think a species capable of traversing the vast distances of the Galaxy will not do so on a whim, very likely recognizing our EM emissions long before arriving here and so be aware that an intelligent species exists on this planet. Certainly more than an infestation of bugs. We may be far less advanced than they are, but they will have passed through similar levels of technology as we currently have and will easily recognize us as a technological race rather than bugs to be squashed.
Not Giant Insects
While it’s scary as crap to picture aliens as giant forms of the animals that give us the creeps on Earth, it isn’t scientifically plausible. This concept is born more out of a fear of losing our dominance on this planet combined with an evolved disgust response to disease-carriers.
In reality, the body structure of an insect only functions on a small scale. As they do not have oxygenated blood, they cannot take in enough oxygen from our atmosphere to grow larger than they do. In prehistoric times, when the atmosphere was much more oxygen rich, they did grow to distressing sizes, but we’re talking around a meter long. The image of roach-like creatures towering over us is pure fantasy. Sorry Heinlein.
Probably very true.
Super Science
This is a given. However, in a ton of movies, alien races are depicted as feudal, territorial beings that destroy everything in their paths. This doesn’t make sense. In order to organize the kind of effort needed to achieve interstellar travel, a highly advanced intelligence will need to be present. While the species may be, as noted before, aggressive towards other life forms they encounter and even their own race, the chances of them being intergalactic warlords are considerably low.
It is more likely that they will be calculating, controlled beings making precise decisions—more like playing chess than dodge ball. Species based in aggression with lower intelligence tend to focus their energies towards one another and survival. For a race of beings to advance beyond the levels we have seen in our own civilization would suggest the need to lay individual differences aside in favor of mutual interests. The skills necessary for long-distance travel and exploration coincide with the key signs of intelligence in nature. Memory, self-awareness, cognition of motives, and creativity must be present before a considerable level of scientific proficiency could ever be achieved.
Doesn’t this contradict several of the previous statements? If this list is, as ListVerse calls it the 10 Traits Aliens Must Have, how can one of them be outright contradictory to the others?
Non-Humanoid
It happens in countless TV shows and movies. Aliens appear on screen that resemble normal humans in face paint (I’m looking at you Darth Maul and every Star Trek character ever). This is convenient from a prop standpoint but not very likely at all in the realm of science. Humans developed as the result of specific environmental conditions.
We stood erect to cover greater distances and free our hands to manipulate tools. We formed thumbs as a response to our early tree-dwelling lives. But if a planet doesn’t have trees, it is going to be unusual to develop an appendage adept at manipulating them. There’s no way to tell exactly what an alien species will look like but most likely they will be fast, enabling their early survival and the ability to hunt for prey. They will have very well-developed sensory organs. One would expect (but cannot guarantee) rudimentary traits present in most earth-based life forms: mouths, eyes, a form of hearing and an efficient form of locomotion, such as legs. They must have been predators and will likely possess vestigial traits to indicate this.
Well, we just don’t know now do we? We have no idea what they will look like, so we can neither say they will look like us, or they will not. Odds are against them being human, unless Ancient Aliens believers are correct in one of their scatter-shot ideas of how Humans came to exist, but the fact is we do not know and any claim of knowledge is as invalid as another.
Speech and Writing
For a civilization to develop it must communicate. A long-distance form of communication will have to be present in order to organize in large numbers and disseminate information, which is crucial to social development. Like humans, aliens would need the ability to communicate complex theories with one another, and record them, thereby assisting the next generation through learning. Without some form of writing, it is unlikely we would have ever passed beyond the barrier of individual generational limitations.
The type of speech employed by interstellar travellers, and how it might be recorded, is somewhat of a mystery, however. Depending on their environments, sound waves may not be the most effective approach. Perhaps they will use vibrations that are received via specialized sensory organs, or maybe they will, as Hollywood would have us believe, speak telepathically. Telepathy has yet to be proven in any other species however, so that would more likely be a secondary development or the result of technology.
Yes, and then again, no. If morphic field ideas have any credibility (which I doubt, but hey I could be wrong) then there is the possibility of a sort of communal mind, not like ants, but where individuals retain a degree of individuality and specialization, but all have access to communal knowledge. Communication, absolutely, but it is arrogance to presume a limitation on that communication of speech and writing.
No Super Strength
Aliens will not be super strong. Once reaching the level of technological proficiency required to be space explorers, the need for brute strength should be several thousand years removed from its usefulness. These creatures will be lean and efficiently designed beings, using minimal energy to power their bodies.
Energy consumption dictates survival on a large scale. Larger muscles use more energy and require more upkeep, which diverts energy away from evolutionary progress.
A scientifically advanced culture would no longer require physical strength to manipulate its surroundings, and a species that has put its evolutionary chips on complex social bonds, abstract thinking and communicating, and fine motor skills and tool manipulation, all of which are necessary to develop interstellar travel, will probably not have the resources left to devote to physical strength or speed.
This is perhaps one of the dumber ideas on the list. First of all, humans have bred beasts of burden for thousands of years, and yet have continued to evolve to larger proportions than our predecessors. We have machines which do our heavy lifting yet continue to invent other machines to aid us in developing the strength of our bodies. Physical health requires the use and development of the physical body. We know this.
And setting that aside, we have already looked at potentially habitable planets of up to four times the size of Earth. If an intelligent species from such a planet came here to visit, their weakest child might very well be far stronger than me at 6′ 4″ and 250 lbs. I may be past my prime but I have still been an athlete and an average human cannot do what I am able to do.
Finally, because the people at ListVerse are apparently not particularly able to count
Functional Appendages
Much the same as humans have thumbs and therefore can use objects to their advantage, aliens would presumably also need to possess this functionality. One simply cannot expect to build and use tools without the ability to grasp them. Giant blobs, or creatures with long unwieldy tentacles are highly unlikely.
How would we expect an advanced species of creatures to construct a spaceship and pilot such a vessel across the vast expanses of space without the ability to hold on to, and move, an object with precision? It is well within reason to expect alien life forms to have an even better developed set of appendages than the fingers and thumb system we use on earth. Much like smartphones and advanced machinery on Earth, alien species would probably adapt their technology to their bodies as much as their bodies to their technology, leaving it difficult, if not impossible, for humans to operate alien devices.
Yup, they will need fingers. How else can they flip us off for being so foolish as they fly past?
What traits, you ask, do I believe aliens will possess when we finally discover some?
Okay, you didn’t ask, but I am going to tell you anyway. As the article makes the presumption of discussing intelligent, technologically advanced aliens, I will hold to those parameters.
One of the turning points in human evolution occurred 300,000 years earlier than previously believed.
Traces of ash mixed with million-year-old bones and tools have been uncovered in the Wonderwerk Cave in South Africa.
Burned plants and bones were found in the cave, suggesting that its inhabitants cooked and perhaps even socialised around camp fires.
Rock art in Wonderwerk cave 40km from Kuruman Northern Cape South Africa: Ash found in a layer dated at a million years old hints that inhabitants of the cave were using fire a million years ago
Skull of homo erectus, from Sangiran, Java, 3 million years old: The discovery of ash among million-year-old remains in South Africa hints that human ancestors as early as homo erectus might have used fire
The huge cave near the edge of the Kalahari Desert has been the scene of previous excavations which have uncovered an extensive record of human occupation.
A team led by the University of Toronto and Hebrew University of Jerusalem has identified the earliest known evidence of the use of fire by human ancestors.
Microscopic traces of wood ash alongside animal bones and stone tools were found in a layer dated to one million years ago.
Analysis of sediment has revealed ashed plant remains and burned bone fragments, both of which appear to have been burned locally rather than carried into the cave by wind or water.
Extensive evidence of surface discolouration that is typical of burning was also found.
University of Toronto anthropologist Michael Chazan said: ‘The analysis pushes the timing for the human use of fire back by 300,000 years, suggesting that human ancestors as early as Homo erectus may have begun using fire as part of their way of life.
Wonderwerk caves in South Africa: The huge cave near the edge of the Kalahari Desert has been the scene of previous excavations which have uncovered an extensive record of human occupation
‘The control of fire would have been a major turning point in human evolution.
‘The impact of cooking food is well documented, but the impact of control over fire would have touched all elements of human society.
‘Socialising around a camp fire might actually be an essential aspect of what makes us human.’
The research is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences today.
I was at my brothers house in Clermont, Florida on 7-8-12 when I went out my bedroom door to the back yard. I saw some strange Objects like fire balls coming up in a line 5 or 6 of them. I don’t know what direction they where coming up in. I went back in and got my camera and started taking pictures. When I first started taking the pictures as the Objects came up in line behind each other they where very clear but has they started moving so fast as I would take the pictures they would blur and they could change directions so fast. I continued to take pictures until it was like they disappeared. I told my wife and brother and his wife to come out and see right quick and look at what I was seeing. I asked them do you know what that is and we all said I have never seen anything move and change direction at a 90 degree angle like this object did. I watched the for just a few seconds more going toward the stars and it was as they just disappeared. The next night I told my wife, my brother, and his wife the next night I was going to see if this happened again. This was 7-9-12 at 21.15 at night when the Objects came up again in line again 5 or 6 of them. Again I started taking picture again and called my brother and his wife and also my wife to see again what we where seeing. None of us could say what it was because of the way it changed directions so fast again at 90 angles. We all started kidding each other maybe is a UFO. But none of us could give a good explanation what we had seen. I took some 27 picture and have showed them to many people and they cannot tell me what they are looking at.
