The top 15 early UFO sightings

Although many UFO sightings often have rational explanations, a small number truly are unexplained. Here's our pick of the most compelling early UFO sightings from all over the world.

This UFO sighting in Cave Junction, Oregon, is believed to have been captured on camera by a volunteer fireman, back in 1927 [PH]

Just months after the attack on Pearl Harbour in 1942, unidentified flying objects were heard and seen in the sky over Los Angeles, California

Taken by Paul Trent in Oregon, USA, in 1950, this is one of the most famous UFO photographs ever taken

A photograph of an unidentified flying object taken in Scotland in 1947

Reportedly taken by part-time photographer Dean Morgan, this image shows an unidentified flying object in the sky over Redbud, Illinois, 1950

This alleged UFO photograph was taken in Czaplinek, Poland in 1947. The photographer is unknown

Taken in St Paris, Ohio, in 1932, this picture of George Sutton shows an unidentified flying object in the background

This photograph was taken in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1949, by Norwood Police Sgt. Leo Davidson

Taken at Mt Washington, New Hampshire in 1870, this photo is understood to be 'the oldest UFO photograph ever taken. In 2002, it was auctioned on Ebay and sold for $385

On the morning of July 10, 1947, John H. Janssen, editor of the Daily Record, spotted six luminous, spherical craft with hazy rings around them flying in a trail high in the sky above Morristown, New Jersey

Little is known about this photograph, other than that it was taken somewhere in England in 1944

This photograph shows an unidentified flying object spotted in the sky over Tiensten, Hopeh Province, China, in 1942

This photo was taken by Edward Pline at a sawmill in Ward, Colorado, in 1929. As he was taking the photo, Pline described hearing a 'terrible, thunderous bellow' and seeing an object floating in the sky

Guy Marquand, Jr. took this photo of what he descibed as a 'flying saucer' on a mountain road near Riverside, California, on November 23, 1951

William Rhodes of Phoenix, Arizona, described seeing a disk circling the area at sunset in July, 1947 and captured this photograph

The Black Knight Satellite - How They Know It Is 13,000 Years Old

Scientists have spotted a giant Hole in the South Pole of Ceres: A doorway to an alien world?

It seems that the mysterious dwarf planet Ceres has gotten a lot more mysterious.

 

Ceres, one of the most enigmatic (dwarf) planets of our solar system has given researchers quite a few surprises. Everything started with the strange bright spots the Dawn Spacecraft photographed on the surface of the dwarf planet, strange bright spots that so far have woken the imagination of readers and media around the world.

 

The enigmatic bright lights were even used by Ufologists as they compared cities on Earth as seen from space to the mysterious bright lights seen on the surface of Ceres.

 

If you compare the image of the bright lights on Ceres to an image of a city on Earth, taken from Space, I’d say that the two look very much alike… It’s as if we are looking at an Alien city on Ceres… But optical illusion can play around with your mind. While no one can rule out at this point an alien city on Ceres, no one can rule out Pareidolia either.

 

Shortly after the discovery of the bright lights, another discovery was made on Ceres, a huge Pyramidal ‘structure’ was found in a vast region on Ceres where there aren’t any mountains. Now, by combining images taken between August and October this year by the Dawn spacecraft, NASA has created the first high-resolution map of the polar regions, revealing a surface pockmarked with a large number of craters, a mountain 20 km diameter and a large dark area that has caused confusion among researchers.

 

 

The North (left) and South (right) Poles of Ceres.

 

According to an article published on NASA’s website, “the South Pole of Ceres is almost in total darkness because “has been in the shadow since Dawn began orbiting the dwarf planet in March.” However, “two craters in the region, called Atlas and Zaddeni can be Cleary distinguished in the images.” The ‘overshadowed pole of the dwarf planet will surely cause the formulation of a number of theories trying to explain just what the dwarf planet is hiding in one of its Pole’s… Could it be an entrance to an underground Alien world? Well, on Ceres it seems that anything is possible.

 

Strange the exact opposite occurs on the North Pole of Ceres. This region is very well illuminated and several very important craters surround a huge mountain called Ysolo Mons. The images used to create the polar portraits published in this article (which can be found in higher resolution by clicking here) were taken between August 17 and October 23, when the Dawn spacecraft was orbiting the dwarf planet at just 1,470 km from the surface. Mapping the poles of Ceres will help NASA understand the formation of craters and serve as a comparative framework for other regions of dwarf the dwarf planet.

 

As you can see Ceres has certainly won the title as one of the most enigmatic and mysterious objects within our solar system.

UFO Visits Island Near Africa On Nov 24, 2015, Photos, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Nov 24, 2015
Location of sighting: Callao Salvaje, Tenerife (island off Africa)
Source: MUFON #72736

Security cams and live cams are becoming extremely useful tools in capturing UFOs, because they allow the researchers to check archives, and observer the skies around the world in seconds. This is a great example. This UFO was seen near an island called Tenerife. It has a rectangle shape and probably came from an underwater base nearby.

Glowing UFOs Fly Over Nagoya, Japan Startling Eyewitnesses, Nov 24, 2015, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: November 24, 2015
Location of sighting: Nagoya, Japan

These glowing UFOs are low intensity lights emitted from the UFOs. They can move from high speed to a sudden stop in one second. They move in all directions. These are not to be confused with shopping spotlights. Spotlights rotated back and forth in a never ending rotation. These UFOs will only follow a pattern for a few seconds, then it changes. To see them in the video you may have to up the lighting of your screen.

How do I know? Because I reported them to you from Taiwan a few months back. My wife and son were with me when these lights were shooting across the sky at midnight. When we noticed them, some of them came back and circled the sky above us, the shot off. Some really amazing lights. What I see in this video is the same thing we saw.

Rare Glimpse At A Rod Caught On Security Cam In Arkansas, Aug 2015, Photos, UFO Sighting News

Date of sighting: August 19, 2015, submitted Nov 2015
Location of sighting: Arkansas, USA
Source: MUFON #72710

This object is a rod. They are very rare, but sometimes caught with high speed cameras. Rods are cylinder shaped creatures that range in length from about 10 cm to 10 meters, and can travel at speeds of up to 300 mph. They fly through the air by using a solid membrane which vibrates extremely rapidly in a wave-like motion on each side of its body (like how a squid moves).

Eyewitness states:
I installed a game camera on our farmhouse for security reasons because we are there infrequently. I checked the camera about a week after the photo was taken and saw the object on one photo. The camera is motion sensitive and takes one picture only every minute so the object was either hovering or falling. The camera is pointed to the driveway with woods behind approximately 60 feet. I have no idea what this object is. Hopefully, you will be able to blow up the image like I can on my small digital camera to wee the detail.

Canadian Group Plans To Launch A Satellite For UFO Hunting

The hunt for evidence of space UFOs visiting earth could take to an entirely new level as a satellite could be placed into orbit.

Canadian developers plan to put up a satellite in low-earth orbit with specialised camera and equipment that can detect radiation in a bid to catch the first ever conclusive video of an alien ship.

The Crowdsourcing Indiegogo campaign project needs to appeal funds amounting $50,000 or £33,000 for the development and launching of the Cubesat for Disclosure.

The disclosure movement alleges that space agencies, including NASA, can detect UFOs and aliens, but prefer to withhold the truth from the public because of fear of the impact of knowledge on higher beings to authority and religion on Earth.

Indiegogo wants to put the project in the citizens’ hand, so they can take over the search forextraterrestrial life.

The planned satellite will feature a scintillation counter to check ionizing radiation levels. High readings could mean the presence of alien craft. The satellite will also have two cameras to record a 360-degree view regularly.

Software engineer Dave Cote developed the idea with fellow researchers. In a promotional video, he said that government, military and media have made a bold attempt discrediting the idea of space aliens despite many sightings and events.

Cote added that military and governments have spent vast amounts of finances to study these UFOs and aliens secretly in the face of their apparent disbelief of the subject.

Cote said that their project goal was to use a low-orbit satellite to study possible objects in the earth’s atmosphere controlled by them and the people. Contributors of $100 or £66 can get access to CubeSat data and those who contribute $500 or £330 can actively involve and take still images.

If the campaign is successful, the CubeSat will be launched through the IOS Interorbital Company.

NASA and the enigma of the of 8000 year old Swastika

26-11-2015 om 00:55 geschreven door peter  

Previously speculated to possibly be alien megastructures by some researchers, it turns out that the cause of the mysterious dimming of the star KIC 8462852 is, according to evidence about to be published by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, probably just a bunch of comets, Engadget reports.

Using data from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope, researchers at Iowa State University led by Massimo Marengo found evidence supporting the (much more boring) idea that the uniquely dimming star was surrounded by a fragmented family of comets—with huge chunks of debris blotting out some of the star’s light.

"The scenario in which the dimming in the KIC 8462852 light curve were caused by the destruction of a family of comets remains the preferred explanation…,” the study says.

The researchers arrived at this conclusion by searching for the infrared light emissions that would be present with warm dust created by collisions of rocky bodies—and finding none. Since there is no infrared light, and therefore, no warm dust, that makes cold comets the most likely source of debris.

So what about those alien megastructures? The giant, solar power-harnessing structures orbiting the sun created by beings far more intelligent than us that some researchers have suggested? After all, that also fits into the whole “absence of warm dust” thing, right?

"We didn't look for that," Marengo said. "We can't really say it is, or is not. But what the star is doing is very strange. It's interesting when you have phenomena like that - typically it means there's some new physical explanation or a new concept to be discovered."

What if, in the distant past, the Nazca lines were used as runways for the Ancient Vimana?

Ever since the Nazca lines and their intricate figures were discovered, people have wondered what their real purpose was. Were these giant figures meant to be seen from above? Do hey mimic constellations in the sky? What were the ancient’s trying to say to future generations? Were the Nazca lines mere ancient art? If so… why would ancient mankind create art that cannot be fully appreciated from the ground? It seems that whatever way you look at the Nazca lines, trying to explain them while maintaining a close mind like most researchers is something  impossible. What if the answer to the enigmatic Nazca lines is right in front of us, yet we do not want to accept it?

Not long ago, Professor Masato Sakai, a specialist in Andean archaeology who has been investigating  the Nazca lines for over ten years; estimates that about one thousand of the straight lines found at Nazca have expressed, reaffirmed and facilitated communication and links between the villages and people. According to the theory proposed by Professor Sakai, the Nazca lines were produced over a period of about 2,000 years from 400 BC.

While his theory is certainly interesting, it fails to explain the general purpose of the figurines, geometric shapes and giant ‘runways’ on mountains that seem as if their top was literally removed to create a nearly flat surface that strangely mimics modern-day runways.

The question is why are we not interpreting the giant lines as what they seem to be… giant runways? Well, first of all that would go against everything we have been told by history in the last hundreds years. Ancient man who inhabited regions of the Americas, Asia and Africa was primitive and not advanced, so the idea that the Nazca lines could have been used as some sort of giant runway sounds ridiculous to those who abide to mainstream historians and archaeologists.

Regrettably, it has been proven that mainstream scholars are very close minded when it comes to sites like the Nazca lines, Puma Punku, Tiahuanaco, Teotihuacan, etc…

Just because mainstream scholars state that it is impossible that ancient mankind possessed advanced technology thousands of years ago, doesn’t necessary mean it’s true.

An important question we need to ask is, if the Nazca lines were actually ancient art, or a way for ancient man to communicate, than why are there magnetic anomalies present at the Nazca lines? According to reports, scientists from the University of Dresden researched the Nazca lines. They measured the magnetic field and they found changes in the magnetic field under some of the lines at Nazca. Electrical conductivity was also measured at Nazca where tests were performed directly at the Nazca lines and next to them and the results showed that electric conductivity was 8000 higher on the lines than next to them. According to the researchers approx. eight feet beneath some of the lines there are magnetic field anomalies. There is something at Nazca that makes it unique, different from any other place on Earth but we simply do not know what it is.

Nazca: The Ancient Vimana runway

Ancient texts, specifically from India speak of the ancient Vimana, which are, according to many interpretations the vehicles of the gods who visited Earth in the distant past. These incredible flying machines, believed to be a myth by mainstream scholars, are said to have been able to travel in short periods of time to different places on the planet, the same Vimanas are also said to have the ability to travel from planet to planet.

• Aachaarya Naaraayana says, “That which can speed on earth, on water, through air, by its own power, like a bird, is a “Vimana.”
• Shankha says, “Experts in the science of aeronautics say, “That which can fly through air from one place to another is aVimana”
• And Vishwambhara says, “Experts say that which can fly through air from one country to another country, from one island to another island, and from one world to another world, is a “Vimana“.”

The Vaimānika Śāstra an early 20th-century Sanskrit text on aerospace technology makes claim that he vimānas mentioned in ancient Sanskrit epics were advanced aerodynamic flying vehicles, similar to a rocket capable of interplanetary flight as backed up by the ancient alien theory. The texts were revealed in 1952 by G. R. Josye and contain 3000 shlokas in 8 chapters which Shastry claimed was psychically delivered to him by the ancient Hindu sage Bharadvaja. The propulsion of the Vimanas according to Kanjilal (1985) is by a “Mercury Vortex Engines”, a concept similar to electric propulsion.

The authors argue that the sage Maharishi Bharadwaj would have described more than 7000 years ago “aircraft traveling between countries, continents and planets.” At the same time, the Vice Chancellor of the University of Mumbai, Rajan Welukar, said that “there is no reason to believe in what they say about the Vedas, but it is something that is worth studying.”

So, what if the giant ‘runways’ that are clearly seen in Peru at the Nazca are in fact ‘navigational markers’ for ancient vehicles such as the Vimana? What if the ‘gods’ used these paths in the distant past to visit the people in Peru? And what if, ancient people created figurines such as the Nazca Astronaut in honor of those “gods” who came from above?

Interestingly, according to some local legends, the mysterious Incan creator god Viracocha, commissioned the Nazca Lines and glyphs in the past. These lines are said to be created by the Viracocha himself. He was the great teacher God of the Andes.

Viracocha was one of the most important deities in the Inca pantheon and seen as the creator of all things, or the substance from which all things are created, and intimately associated with the sea. According to the myth recorded by Juan de Betanzos, Viracocha rose from Lake Titicaca (or sometimes the cave of Pacaritambo) during the time of darkness to bring forth light.

Some of the parts of Nazca have amazing designs, highly accurate triangles that are a mystery. Some of the triangles look like they were made by something that literally pressed the ground down at least 30 inches with incredible force. Could the ancient Nazca have done this? With their feet? How would you press down a six mile “perfect” triangle into the desert? These are some of the theories from mainstream scholars which try to explain the enigmatic lines at Nazca.

The Official story is a Japanese rocket carrying a communications satellite.

Japanese rocket surprises sky watchers: Unbeknownst to most people in North America this morning, Japan launched an H-2A rocket carrying the Telstar 12 Vantage communications satellite.

The resulting display surprised sky watchers in at least half a dozen states. “I was observing Comet Catalina before sunrise, when I noticed this thing halfway up towards Venus,” reports Glen Wurden of Los Alamos, New Mexico, to Spaceweather.

PINGTANG, Nov. 21, 2015 (Xinhua) -- China's single-aperture spherical telescope "FAST" is seen under construction in Qiannan of southwest China's Guizhou Province, Nov. 21, 2015. When it is completed in 2016, the five hundred meter aperture spherical telescope (FAST) will be the world's largest, overtaking Puerto Rico's Arecibo Observatory, which is 300 meters in diameter.

China has joined the international effort to build the Square Kilometer Array, the largest radio telescope in the world.

 

PINGTANG, Nov. 21, 2015 (Xinhua) — The feed cabin supporting system of China’s single-aperture spherical telescope “FAST” is under test in Qiannan of southwest China’s Guizhou Province, Nov. 21, 2015.

The Square Kilometer Array project is the largest and most sensitive radio telescope in the world, and this new global scientific undertaking will help uncover the mysteries of the universe.

As its name suggests, the telescope will deploy huge fields of antennas across Africa and Australia, with a combined collecting area of roughly one square kilometer (0.4 square mile). That’s about 140 soccer pitches.

The aim is to help astronomers study the sky in monitor with an unprecedented level of detail.

With its headquarters based at the Jodrell Bank site near Manchester in the U.K., the SKA project will build thousands of antennas across two continents, and completely change our understanding of the universe.

“The Square Kilometre Array is the next generation of the radio telescope,” Professor Philip Diamond, director general of SKA, said. He added that it will explore the nature of gravity and will also try to detect signals from extraterrestrial civilizations – if they exist.

The SKA is one of the largest scientific endeavors of the 21st century, and its sheer scale across continents means it has to be an international collaboration.

Tne project brings together top scientists, engineers, and policy makers from 20 countries, who are now in the process of establishing an intergovernmental organization to help formalize the relationship between the project members.

From the early stages China played an important role in the project, contributing several key technology developments.

The government will also join the negotiations with other member nations to define the level of contribution.

“The Chinese contribution will be cash contribution, together with in-kind contribution. China will deliver its products and technology needed for the project, such as antennas. China has very strong potential in this particular field,” Dr. Qiming Wang, Head of Policy Dev’t, SKA, said.

With preparation well underway, construction of the SKA project is set to start in 2018 with the telescope set to receive its first batch of data two years later.

EXCELLENT RENDERING OF AN ALIEN TRIANGLE OVER AUSTRALIA

FEBURARY 9, 2014    …………  SYDNEY CITY AUSTRALIA

Time: 09:39-09:40

Number of witnesses: 3

Number of objects: 1

Shape of objects: Triangular

Description: Three cornered object gunmetal grey in appearance with red projection on top at one end. Rotation in an anticlockwise direction.  I was in Taylor Sq. Oxford St. And noticed object approaching from above Garden Island naval base. Asked pedestrian ‘can u tell me what that is’ she looked and said no. We crossed Ox St and I pointed it out to another person on a phone, they started telling person on phone we are watching a UFO. Object continued N-S towards Redfern behind buildings. Sighting 75-90 seconds.

Update February 10th 2014:

Hello, yesterday I tried to convince myself that because the craft was travelling in the same direction as the wind it could have been something inflatable, it absolutely was not. The sky was clear blue and the craft passed above me at an angle of about 80° I could see details on it and I would estimate an altitude of 1000-1200 ft.(I used to skydive so I have some experience at judging height). As it got farther into the distance I could see the sunlight reflecting of it.  Also it was heading in the direction of Redfern/Newtown which is directly in the flight path for the airport so it must have been visible on radar.  I drew these pictures within a few hours, they do not look like the craft but give a good idea of the form.

9 Montreal UFO Sightings That Can Never Be Explained

Via abdallah

For More Stories Like These

More often than you might think, UFOs have been spotted in the skies of Montreal. Our city is apparently one of the most active metropolises in Canada when it comes to strange sightings, with 287 reported from 1989 to 2013, according to the Canadian UFO Report, which is a real thing as I learned today.

Now before you start crying “aliens aren’t real!”,note that “UFO” doesn’t mean aliens, as the term is used to refer to “unidentified flying objects.”

The whole “unidentified” aspect lends some room for interpretation, which means that all UFO sightings could be aliens, but not all aliens are UFOs. Not that I’m saying aliens exist, of course, because that would be silly.

Maybe not though, given the existence of these stories. From the 1970s onward, I bring to you some of the strangest and most well-known UFO sightings to ever occur in Montreal, almost all of which can simply not be explained.

The Little Italy Rooftop Sighting of 1977

When 58-year old Florida Malbouef was kept awake until the wee hours of the morn on January 6th, 1977, she didn’t expect to see (what she claimed to be) a UFO.

Kept awake ’til 1:30am due to a bronchial condition, Ms. Malbouef, who lived at 6420 Casgrain in Little Italy, witnessed what she described as a 15-foot-in-diameter “large oyster” that was drifting in the sky, approaching her home.

According to Malbouef, the floating disc landed on a rooftop of a building only 60 feet away. Things only got stranger, as Malbouef went on to describe two thin, six-foot individuals robed in tight white uniforms that exited the “ship,” only to stare into the dark sky, then return to their mysterious vehicle.

Malbouef’s tale is definitely fantastical, and given the fact that there were no other witnesses, it can’t be corroborated. Still, the Journal de Montreal saw enough of a story to report on the event, and Malbouef’s experience is still regarded as the first major UFO sighting in the city of Montreal.

The UFO Squadron Sighting Of 1973

When a professional academic reports a UFO sighting, you need to take it a bit more seriously than some random citizen. And Marc Leduc, a physics teacher at École PolyvalenteÉdouard-Montpetit in the 1970s, along with a member of the investigative team UFO Quebec, didn’t just see a single UFO, but an entire fleet.

Recounting his story to the Gazette in 1978, Leduc, on the eve of August 10th, 1973, received an array of calls from individuals in St. Bruno reporting a UFO sighting.

Leduc decided to investigate, and witnessed a “squadron of UFOs flash across the sky from south to north.” In an effort to prove the veracity of his sighting, Leduc commented that the UFOs moved as quickly as a shooting star, but lasted far too long in the sky to be one, or a meteor.

Steadfast in his opinion, even though he discredits many other UFO sighting, Leduc firmly stated “I know they were UFOs.”

The Lake Baskatong Sighting of 1978

UFO expert Marc Leduc (see above) predicted 1978 to be a “busy year” for UFO sightings in Quebec, and he wasn’t wrong, as this sighting demonstrates.

Two citizens of Île-Perrot went camping at La Vérendrye park on Saturday, March 11th, 1978, specifically by Lake Baskatong. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, the pair suddenly saw an object “hurtle out of the sky” which sent them in a fit of fear fleeing the scene.

Once the duo recovered their wits, they returned to the lake, only to see what they said was a UFO “hovering silently over the water” for about 30 seconds.

Despite capturing a photo of the alleged UFO, the Île-Perrot pair couldn’t convince officials, since the clarity of the image was quite poor.

---

The Town of Mount Royal Sighting of 1985

Apparently UFOs have a thing for middle-aged Montreal women, as another, who solely went by the name of Mildred in the original Gazette article, spotted another extraterrestrial-like object in the sky on April 17th, 1985.

At about 1am, Mildred and her husband were sleeping, only to be awoken by a sound “like hundreds of firecrackers” being set off above her house. Mildred and her man went to her bedroom window that faces Jarry Park, only to see a “fiery red ball low in the sky moving…deliberately northeast.”

In Mildred’s account, the object had a very bright “beehive effect” that “lit up the sky for an hour and a half.” Intense noise was also reported, described “like gunshots or firecrackers” accompanied by “static, static from hundreds of radios.”

Mildred wasn’t alone in her sighting, as the air traffic control centre at the Dorval airport reported that two other individuals called in between 11pm and 1am, both concerned about a red and white oval-like object.

Even though Mildred’s story is somewhat backed up by other reported sightings, none described theexact same object as she saw. Plus, Mildred’s husband was concerned so little that he actually went back to sleep, which doesn’t seem like the proper response when you see a huge floating red orb in the sky. Still, something was seen, we don’t know what.

The Place Bonaventure Incident of 1990

Easily the most famous and well-known UFO sighting in Montreal history, the event now known as the Place Bonaventure Incident is quite different from other like circumstances mostly because of the large number of reputable individuals who confirmed some form of object was seen in the sky, from reporters, to police officers, to RCMP officials.

The Place Bonaventure Incident began on the evening of November 7th, 1990, at 7:20pm, when a woman swimming in the rooftop pool of the downtown hotel saw a large, light-emitting object in the sky.

A chain reaction of sorts began when the woman reported the sighting to a nearby lifeguard, who then told a security guard, who then got in touch with a La Presse newspaper reporter and the police. From there, the RCMP, military, Dorval and Mirabel airport officials, and even NASA were contacted, none of whom could explain the unidentified flying object.

In a feature conducted by CBC, the police officer on the scene of the event described seeing a gigantic metallic round object that projected beams of light into the sky. The same was seen by all onlookers, with the sighting lasting nearly three hours, from 7:20pm to 10:10pm.

Skeptics have cited the sighting to merely be the Northern Lights, a mundane theory discredited by the fact that Montreal’s light pollution would make seeing the aurora borealis next to impossible.

Montreal-based UFO researcher Bernard Guénette and ex-NASA scientist Dr. Richard Haines wrote a report on The Place Bonaventure Incident, and while they couldn’t confirm the origin of the object, they did conclude “the existence of a highly unusual, hovering, silent large object is indisputable.”

The Côte St. Luc Sighting of 2010

When Dr. Cleve Ziegler was driving home in Côte St. Luc on Wednesday, September 30th, 2010, he couldn’t help but notice a strange object in the night sky.

Getting out of his car at around 12:30am, Ziegler reported seeing “many little sparkly red and blue lights” on some sort of object that “had a changing shape, morphing from something that looked triangular to something that looked like a trapezoid,” as he told CBC.

After calling the police, Ziegler learned many other Côte St. Luc residents reported the same sighting, with most believing the mysterious airborne object to be some sort of UFO.

A director at the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada didn’t have much of an explanation for the sighting, saying it “definitely…is not something astronomical” but could only offer “a sort of balloon,” a “strobe light” or “a powerful laser” as possible origins. Definitely not the most compelling (or even believable) of theories for such a sighting.

The Daytime Over Montreal Sighting of 2012

On June 6th, 2012, a Montrealer reported to have been simply chilling out on his back balcony saw a strange red object floating in the sky. According to the eye witness, Scott Waring, the flying object was 2000-3000 feet in the sky and continuously flew north and then back south for about 40 minutes.

Lacking any news coverage or other witnesses, it’s hard to confirm even the slightest possibility of this UFO sighting, even though a video was captured of the event. As we all know, such videos could easily be edited, though you can still take a look above for yourself.

The Strange Lights In The Sky Sighting of 2013

At about 11:35pm on August 5th, 2013, a lone Montrealer reported seeing three orange lights from their bedroom window, which hovered left to right in what was described as a “weird manner.”

A short time later, a fourth orange orb appeared, this one as large as a light found on a helicopter. No noise was emanated from these dancing lights, all of which gradually disappeared from the night sky.

Given that this is an anonymous posting on the Paranormal Studies & Investigations Canada, aka PSICAN (yes, it’s a thing), there’s little evidence to prove anything was seen on the night of this alleged UFO sighting. Nevertheless, the witness described the event as “the coolest experience of my life” so at least they had some fun.

The TVA Live Report “Glowing Orb” 2014

Here’s a UFO sighting that is still in the city’s recent memory: the mysterious glowing green orb captured on a live TVA broadcast.

Filmed on the eve of October 2nd, the flying green ball can be seen directly behind Colette Provencher’s head, descending from the right to the left, glowing green, then orange, then disappearing altogether. You can check it out for yourself in the video above, or see our play-by-play from last year here.

The sighting wasn’t limited to Montreal, either, as individuals in Ontario, Connecticut, New Jersey, and other areas also reported seeing the strange glowing orb.

Experts have stated that the ball of light could not be a meteor, as they tend to light up the entire light sky when they pass through, which didn’t occur during this sighting. An official confirmation of what the green orb was has never been concluded, so there’s no reason to say it wasn’t a UFO.

Sinds een eeuw is alles relatief: de bekendste theorie van Einstein uitgelegd zodat iedereen ze begrijpt - HLN.be

Op 25 november 1915, exact honderd jaar geleden, stelde Albert Einstein zijn relativiteitstheorie voor in Berlijn. Sinds die dag kijken we met een ander oog naar de wereld en weten we dat alles relatief is. Dankzij Einstein wijst een GPS ons vandaag de weg en kunnen we binnenkort misschien tijdreizen. Maar wat is de relativiteitstheorie juist en waarom is ze zo baanbrekend?

De tweelingparadox

Hoe dichter jouw snelheid bij de snelheid van het licht aanleunt, hoe trager de tijd voor jou zal worden. 

Een 30-jarige astronaute beslist een ruimtereis van twee jaar te maken en haar tweelingbroer (uiteraard ook 30 jaar oud) op aarde achter te laten. De astronaute reist met een snelheid van 200.000 kilometer per seconde gedurende twee jaar door de ruimte, terwijl haar tweelingbroer op aarde wacht op haar terugkomst.

Uiteindelijk, na twee jaar ruimtereizen, keert de astronaute terug, maar ze stelt vast dat haar broer 30 jaar ouder is geworden.  De nu 32-jarige astronaute heeft nu een 60-jarige tweelingbroer. En dat heeft alles te maken met de constante snelheid van het licht. 

Hoe dichter jouw snelheid aanleunt bij de snelheid van het licht, hoe trager de tijd wordt. Dit fenomeen wordt de 'tijddilatatie' of 'tijdsrek' genoemd. En mochten we ooit sneller dan het licht kunnen reizen, dan zou dat betekenen dat we terug in de tijd zouden gaan. Bovendien krimpen we naarmate we dichter bij de lichtsnelheid aanleunen. Met 200.000 kilometer per seconde zouden we voor onze waarnemers maar half zo groot meer zijn. Dit fenomeen noemen we 'lengtecontractie'. Einstein plaatste beide fenomenen (tijd en ruimte) onder één noemer: 'ruimtetijd'. 

Het is nog altijd onmogelijk om met de snelheid van het licht te reizen, dat zou trouwens gigantisch veel energie kosten. Teruggaan in de tijd en dus sneller gaan dan het licht, is volgens de relativiteitstheorie onmogelijk.

E=mc²

En wat betekent de Einsteins bekendste formule dan? Wel, ook die formule heeft alles te maken met de relativiteitstheorie. 

Massa is equivalent met energie, dat betekent dat ze onlosmakelijk met elkaar verbonden zijn en we het ene uit het andere kunnen afleiden. Een meting van de massa geeft weer hoeveel energie erin zit. 

E staat voor energie, m voor massa en c voor de lichtsnelheid. De formule betekent eigenlijk dat je uit weinig massa immens veel energie kan halen. Dat hebben bijvoorbeeld de atoombommen op Hiroshima en Nagasaki bewezen.

Algemene relativiteitstheorie

Ruimtetijd buigt zich rond de aarde, dus kunnen satellieten errond zweven. © YouTube.

Einstein besefte dat zijn 'speciale relativiteitstheorie' (al wat we hierboven hebben besproken) enkel werkt wanneer objecten aan een constante snelheid bewegen. Wat als objecten versnellen? En wat doen we met de zwaartekracht? 

Isaac Newton die dankzij een appel op zijn hoofd de wet van de zwaartekracht in het leven riep, beweerde dat objecten door de zwaartekracht worden aangetrokken. Maar wat trekt objecten dan naar beneden? Wat is zwaartekracht juist? Newton moest dat antwoord schuldig blijven. En Einstein kon zich niet vinden in die theorie. 

Stel, je staat in een lift wanneer de kabels afschieten. De lift valt met dezelfde snelheid als jou naar beneden, dus in de lift ben jij gewichtsloos. Het was die gedachte die zorgde voor een eureka-moment bij Einstein. 

Volgens Einstein bestaat zwaartekracht niet, maar duwt de ruimte ons naar de aarde. Objecten, zoals wijzelf, krommen 'ruimtetijd', die ons naar de aarde duwt.  Op dezelfde manier kromt ruimtetijd zich rond satellieten die zo rond de aarde cirkelen en kromt ruimtetijd zich rond de aarde, zodat ze rond de zon kan draaien.
