*MUST SEE* Man filmed amazing UFO sighting over New Jersey and “He doesn’t remember actually doing it”
*MUST SEE* Man filmed amazing UFO sighting over New Jersey and “He doesn’t remember actually doing it”
Here’s one interesting footage of a bright glowing orb hovering sky above Avenel in New Jersey. This happened onMonday, 14th December 2015.
Witness report:I took a picture of my dog on foot of bed the went to window and videoed 26 sec of some ufo. Here’s the crazy part don’t remember actually doing it. It seemed dream like. It was December 14th of 2015 at 4:41 am. I thought I was dreaming my nephew was in the bathroom, so as I waited on the edge of my bed for him to finish I must have grabbed my phone I took a picture of the dog, then something made me go towards the window and start recording immediately afterwards. Next day I’m looking thru pictures to show my friend a picture of my granddaughter when I came across this video. Not I,not my family could believe this video that was taken from my phone. Want to have it analyzed for authenticity as well as having me being put under to find out what really took place. I felt to have something genuine. I knew this is it. My dad said he believed and we thought he was kidding. Only thing that scared me is not remembering taking the picture or video. I need answers
60 years after the publication of the second book of George Adamski called “Inside the Space Ships”, some still regard this experience as one of the most important contacts between humans and aliens.
Update: Astronaut Tweets A UFO Photo From International Space Station
Update: Astronaut Tweets A UFO Photo From International Space Station
Some alien researchers believe U.S. astronaut Scott Kelly was trying to tell the public about the existence of intelligent extraterrestrials without actually saying anything. Kelly, who is the first person attempting to spend a year in orbit, tweets a picture of India from over 200 miles above the Earth with a message that says “Day 233. Once upon a #star over Southern India. #GoodNight from @space_station! #YearInSpace.” But UFO hunters were quick to suggest the photo showed evidence of a space UFO towards the top right.
YouTube channel Sonofmabarker made a video of the photo that Scott Kelly tweeted while in the International Space Station.
The channel informed that the picture was taken while the ISS went over India. Sonofmabarker took notice at the upper right of the picture where there was a large object with two lights on each end.
But UFO hunters were quick to suggest the photo showed evidence of a space UFO towards the top right.
The channel further suggested that the UFO appeared to be gigantic and constructed, and Scott Kelly probably noticed it when he tweeted it. The UFO in the picture looked like a sore thumb and Sonofmabarker thanked Scott Kelly for sending it down to Earth.
Online alien researchers spend hours to a NASA live feed camera on board the ISS that is available publicly on the internet to spot anomalies that likely an evidence of the existence of UFOs and aliens.
Update On Astronaut’s UFO Photo in the Space Station
When astronaut Scott Kelly took a photo of South India on the night of November 15, the online world was abuzz over what seemed to be something alien in the picture.
Kelly, who broke the American record recently for the longest time spent in space, tweeted the photo from the International Space Station back to Earth. UFO hunters came out and alleged the astronaut included a tubular-shaped UFO in the upper right of the picture.
Adding to the controversy of the mysterious image was a video posted on November 16 to YouTube by username sonofmabarker, which reached nearly a million views. In the video description, it says that it would be hard to believe that Scott Kelly didn’t know that this object was in his frame. It sticks out like a sore thumb. It’s got a couple of lights, one on each side, it’s obviously some structure and also looks enormous, according to the description.
For years, some people automatically believe that any strange looking lights or glowing objects near the space station can be aliens.
But scientists and the government always find explanations and debunk the ET speculations, particularly this kind of image taken near the ISS. After increasing the contrast level of Kelly’s original picture, the UFO turns out to be a UHF antenna, which is part of the ISS. It could be the reason Kelly did not notice it as anything strange.
However, some UFO enthusiasts and researchers say that this could be another cover-up by NASA and the government. What do you think regarding this and other similar UFO reports from the space station? Are UFOs at the space station just parts of it, space debris, or window reflections that illuminated in unusual ways?
A Hacker Believes NASA Has Been Releasing Edited Images To The General Public
A Hacker Believes NASA Has Been Releasing Edited Images To The General Public
Hacker Gary McKinnon believes that NASA is editing out parts of UFO appearances in videos it releases for public viewing, and it has been doing so for many years already. He is an avid UFO watcher and had faced a ten-year fight against extradition to the United States after breaking into the computer database of Pentagon, U.S. military, and NASA.
McKinnon revealed that the U.S. government and NASA have known for years UFOs monitored humanity from far-flung galaxies. However, the government and the space agency decided not to tell the truth because they think the general public will not be able to handle it. Moreover, they believe that the truth will lead to the breakdown of religions and society. McKinnon said that the government has been withholding the information successfully by covering it up.
According to McKinnon, he became more interested in UFO and NASA cover-up after ex-NASA contractor Donna Hare had come forward in November 2000 to say that NASA staff edited out UFOs digitally from satellite photos before they were publicly released from Building eight of the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
To find out whether Hare was telling the truth or just got everything wrong, McKinnon hacked into NASA’s computer databases, as well as, the U.S. military and the Pentagon. McKinnon said that he regularly gain access to entire databases for between 18 months and 24 months.
McKinnon encountered a file containing a list of non-terrestrial officers while scouring U.S. Navy databases. These officers have ranks and names. Then he discovered a separate file of “material transfers between ships.” McKinnon thinks he possibly found confidential evidence of a secret space base. He has released four videos based on his findings.
When hacking 255 computers of building eight at the Johnson Space Center, McKinnon found image databases. He started to download a picture, but it was extremely slow – the reason he only managed to get half to 2/3 of the way down before being rumbled. He believed it was the hemisphere of a planet Earth. He described it as cloudy, but with the classic cigar-shaped UFO. When he was about to take a screen grab, the cursor moved separately to his mouse movements, and the connection eventually lost. He failed to retrieve the image from the clipboard.
He was soon arrested and battled against extradition from 2002 to 2012. The U.S. government accused McKinnon of hacking with more sinister reasons than trying to discover the truth about ETs and UFOs.
The U.S. authorities stated McKinnon deleted crucial files from operating systems, which resulted in the shutdown of 2,000 computers at Military District of Washington for 24 hours. McKinnon also removed weapon logs at the Earle Naval Weapons Station after the September 11 attacks in 2001, causing its network of 300 computers unserviceable and paralyzing munitions supply deliveries to the U.S. Navy’s Atlantic Fleet. The U.S. government also accused him of copying passwords, account files, and data into his computer. According to U.S. authorities, the problem he caused was over $700,000.
The helicopter of Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump reportedly had a UFO trailed behind. According to what has been alleged, the incident took place before his campaign speech at Iowa State Fair. A group of UFO investigators is currently investigating the case.
A witness attending a speech of Trump snapped the mysterious object, which reportedly flew close behind the chopper of Trump as it hovered over a group of children during the Iowa State Fair. The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) is now investigating the sighting. MUFON spokesman Roger Mrash said that the object could be any number of things from a bird to a second helicopter.
The UFO was noticed at precisely one p.m. on August 15, 2015, according to the official MUFON website. The network had since been looking into the incident under case number 69530. The witness said that he took his phone out to take a photo of Trump’s chopper when it was overhead. When he checked the picture, he was shocked to notice the strange object.
MUFON is considered as the oldest and largest UFO phenomenon investigative body in the world. According to its website, they aim to answer the most age-old question, “Are we alone in the universe?” The network is an American-based non-profit organization, and it’s open to UFO enthusiasts who want to investigate UFO sightings and to those who wish to join the investigative team.
20th November 2015 – This is bar none one of the best UFO shows ever to appear on Dreamland or anywhere. Larry Holcombe’s the Presidents and UFOs has already been optioned for the movies by Sony Pictures, and for good reasons: it is a startlingly insightful, brilliantly researched journey through the secret history of the presidential struggle with the UFO phenomenon.
Larry opens up as never before in this exciting interview. Learn what Richard Nixon actually knew. Did he take entertainer Jackie Gleason to see UFOs on a military base in Florida, as Gleason claimed? Did Dwight Eisenhower come face-to-face with aliens? And what does Barack Obama know, given that he refused to allow the release of UFO information despite a plea from presidential adviser John Podesta? And what of George H.W. Bush’s recent tacit admission that there is a coverup when he said “the public isn’t ready” to hear UFO truth?
Structures and Entrances To Underground Bases On Mars
Structures and Entrances To Underground Bases On Mars
Online UFO hunters claimed to have found a series of interesting hidden alien structures on Mars. According to Mars and UFO anomaly researchers, the aliens appear to have created the structures to hide themselves from visitors of the Red Planet.
UFO and alien hunter Sandra Elena Andrade posted images to YouTube showing the alleged Martian ET structures on Google Earth on December 2, 2015.
However, some viewers commented that Mars anomaly hunter Marcelo Irazusta originally discovered the apparent alien structures. Irazusta once reported that he found some of the structures on Mars despite NASA efforts to hide them using “crappy Photoshop.”
Andrade’s video of images on YouTube has garnered thousands of views. Many believe the video shows authentic images and reliable proof of the existence of aliens on Mars.
Many alien hunters believe the planet has bases and most of them are inhabited, so they continue to search for evidence of ET life on it. The sad part, according to these researchers, is that when you put NASA in front of truth and evidence, they choose to remain silent or invent some hilarious or crazy explanations as part of their strategy to conceal the reality.
Andrade’s video offers detailed directions to find the structures in question, including the entrances to the underground bases.
23rd September 2015 – Get set for ultra-high strangeness as Linda Moulton Howe reports on a case of an unknown being INSIDE a completely unwitting woman. Linda reports briefly on this case on Coast to Coast AM on Friday. Here, she and Whitley give it the full treatment–and it turns out that Whitley has a LOT of knowledge of this hitherto unknown phenomenon, of visitors being found inside people who have absolutely no idea that they are there.
Can this be real? If so, who is vulnerable and why does it happen? Is it dangerous? This will be one of the most thought-provoking and unexpected discussions you have ever heard.
Orb UFO Hovers Near The Grassy Area in Texas As If It Searches For Something Below The Ground
Orb UFO Hovers Near The Grassy Area in Texas As If It Searches For Something Below The Ground
An unnamed Texas witness in Hutto, Williamson County has claimed to have seen an orb UFO moving near to the ground and emitting a green light. The UFO seemed to scan the field and search for something, according to the testimony filed as Case 72672 in the witness reporting database of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).
The sighting took place on November 22, 2015, at around 8:14 in the morning, local time, as the witness was driving into Hutto and spotting a strange orb UFO, according to the MUFON report.
The witness told MUFON he noticed a bizarre green light near the open grass area, so he decided to pull off to the side of the road.
He observed the orb UFO hovered above a grassy area as if it scanned the ground below to look for something. It moved like a dog sniffing the ground in search of something as it flew side to side close to the ground for approximately 30 seconds. Then, the green light turned off suddenly, and the UFO zoomed off.
Most reported UFO sightings involve orb UFOs, making some UFO enthusiasts to suggest that space alien surveillance vehicles are typically orb in shape.
9th November 2015 – Are significant numbers of humanity the product of an ancient and advanced alien civilization? Have we, across the millennia, been periodically modified and refined as a species? In short, has our genetic make-up been manipulated by otherworldly beings that view human civilization as one big lab experiment?
This week, Nick Redfern makes a fascinating case for the strangeness of our DNA. What happened to cause the enormous leap from Neanderthal to Cro Magnon man 45,000 years ago? In contrast to what had happened in human development in the past, they were a long evolutionary leap ahead of all that had come before. That gap has not yet been explained. Or has it? Listen as Nick makes his case!
UFOlogists Track Down The First Reported UFO Sighting
UFOlogists Track Down The First Reported UFO Sighting
Ufologists think that the first UFO sighting takes place in the city of Hull in 1801 when a moon-like orb is seen shimmering in the sky. According to the eyewitnesses, they saw a super moon with a black bar across it that hovered over the Humber on June 19, 1801, at midnight. A historian author Mike Covell discovered press articles about the orb when digging into old newspapers from 200 years ago.
In a report found in the Northampton Mercury on July 11, 1801, Saturday, the huge moon seemed to form itself into seven different small globes or moons of fire, which vanished in a few seconds. The reappearance of the giant moon was equally brilliant. It appears like the face of the moon, then into five round balls, and lastly like multiple small stars that gradually fade away, resulting the entire atmosphere illuminated brilliantly.
The Chester Chronicle also reported the strange activity on Friday, July 17, 1801. A faint of blue light fell upon the surrounding objects, like that of distant torches, according to a report in The Chester Chronicle.
Covell, who has collected several UFO clippings dating back to the 19th century, says that it’s the oldest sighting they have managed to track down so far.

Bright orb flying over Guadalajara, Mexico 4-Dec-2015
Bright orb flying over Guadalajara, Mexico 4-Dec-2015
Here’s one interesting sighting of a bright unidentified flying object flying across the sky above Guadalajara in Mexico. This was taken on 4th December 2015.
30th November 2015 – Nancy du Tertre asks, can aliens speak our languages, can we understand them? We need new discoveries about communication between us and this provocative unknown.
Could it be that there is a single, powerful message being communicated across the whole experience? If so, what is it? And what role does telepathy play? Mind control? What are ‘downloads’ and who gets them?
There is far too little discussion of this most basic of all contact issues: is there communication, and what does it mean?
A Passenger In A Plane Records A UFO Over India On Video
A Passenger In A Plane Records A UFO Over India On Video
The concept of UFOs and stories about them have been around for ages. There have been people in different parts of the world claiming to have seen unidentified objects flying in the sky over the Earth, and many of them even saying they have seen aliens. No doubt, the idea of extraterrestrial existence has always fascinated several people around the globe.
Here’s yet another video that shows a UFO moving over the clouds. As indicated in the video, the unidentified aerial object was observed in November 2015 and recorded on video from an airplane.
However, there’s an apparent lack of reaction from any passengers on the plane. If someone encounters a spacecraft or a UFO, then it will likely create some hysterical reactions. Someone might at least say, “what the heck is that?” or “does anyone else notice that bizarre thing out there?”
It was until a few days ago the photos of a UFO were being rounded on social media after reports came out about a flying saucer that was observed in Uttar Pradesh. The UFO photos, which go viral on Twitter, WhatsApp, Facebook, and other social platforms, seem to show a massive flying saucer hovering over Padri market in Gorakhpur.
An individual named Rinku reportedly snapped the viral photos of the UFO. According to reports, Rinku said the aerial object was hovering over Gorakhpur. While some locals got terrified with the news about the sighting of the UFO, experts from Gorakhpur University have yet to release the finding of their study on the images.
Do you think the video shows a real UFO? Or does it look like all made up to you? Tell us what you think about it in the comment section below.
A New Yorker In Long Island Spots A Gigantic Cigar-Shaped UFO
A New Yorker In Long Island Spots A Gigantic Cigar-Shaped UFO
Symbolic image
A humongous black cigar UFO reportedly appeared in Long Island, New York with two shining lights at both ends above a witness’ home near Brookhaven National Laboratory.
According to the witness’ testimony in Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) archives, filed as Case 72698, he saw a large cigar-shaped UFO above his home in Long Island on the evening of November 23, 2015, at around 6:45 Eastern Time.
The witness, who says UFO sightings are frequent in the skies over the neighborhood, believes that the research activity at the Brookhaven National Laboratory has something to do with the UFO activity above Long Island.
The massive cigar-shaped unidentified flying object reportedly moved silently across the sky east-northeast. It had one bright light at each end. The witness claims to be familiar with airplanes, as well as their sounds, as they always fly in the area.
At 6:45 in the evening on November 23, the witness saw two bright white lights moving east-northeast without sound. The UFO increased in altitude rapidly, stopped suddenly, and then hovered in the sky for approximately more than an hour, according to the report.
After more than an hour, the witness could see four to five other UFOs in a circle formation around the bigger cigar-shaped craft. The witness observed the entire fleet hovered for several minutes. In the report, the witness said that it was not the first time he spotted these things, but it was the first time he saw the cigar craft up close.
The Brookhaven Laboratory in Upton, Long Island is a national laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Brookhaven Science Associates LLC operates the lab with 3,000 support personnel, including technicians, engineers, and scientists. The lab conducts research on medical imaging, neuroscience, environment and energy, nuclear physics, and other relevant fields of biology.
The witness believes frequent UFO sightings in the area may be because of tests conducted by the Brookhaven Labs. The witness adds that in Long Island, strange UFOs are frequent and even as he writes the report; a cigar-shaped object is still out there.
The witness says he has seen orange-colored lights over the area many times, but it’s the first time on November 23 he has spotted a gigantic cigar-shaped craft over his home for approximately an hour.
Scientists working at the facility have denied rumors persistently about their alleged connection with several UFO sighting reports near the lab over the years.
This older footage from 2009 was just submitted to MUFON. It was taken over Southampton, UK on 8th February.
Witness report: I was filming the sky trying out a new 920nm infrared pass filter with my Sony DCR DVD160e camcorder. Suddenly, this extremely bright light came into shot right above me. It made no noise and appeared to change shape as it flew east. The first sign of the object in the footage seems to show a semi transparent round blob in the sky. Then the sun obviously lights it up which can be seen in the footage. The object was only seen in the camcorder, not with naked eye.
In Depth Analysis Of A Video Showing A Fleet Of UFOs Somewhere Near Honolulu, Hawaii
In Depth Analysis Of A Video Showing A Fleet Of UFOs Somewhere Near Honolulu, Hawaii
New UFO images and videos come out almost every day all over the Internet for everyone to interpret. Here’s one that may make you believe, at first glance, that a video captured a fleet of alien orbs, maneuvering oddly somewhere near Honolulu, Hawaii.
Earth & Space News YouTube channel posted a video on October 21, 2015, which shows the UFOs hovering, moving fast, darting back and forth, merging with each other, and blinking in and out in unison.
While the video appears to show an unusual catch of strange lights in the sky, it has been hounded with credibility issues.
First, the exact date and time of the video and the videographer’s identity are not revealed. No information that could help any research about the sighting and the video. Moreover, the video itself has many visual problems.
According to Ben Hansen, ex-lead investigator of “Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files,” of Syfy Channel, the video is a product of computer-generated imagery (CGI).
Hansen points out several reliability issues in different segments of the video. Hansen says that at :26, the orb on the far left of the screen takes a short jog back and forth that didn’t appear it was intended. Hansen stresses that this happens throughout the video. He suggests that this seems to be the “evidence of poor anchoring of the object to a fixed reference point.”
Hansen says that the one responsible for the video does an excellent job of tracking the animation layer over the background, but it could also be filmed off a projected screen to present the impression of zooming in and out with a handheld camera.
Also a former FBI special agent, Hansen says the blinking lights that all go out at the same time could be an indication of laziness in editing because it is much easier to turn off the entire animation layer than adjust each light to fade in and out individually.
Another problem that Hansen points out is the awkward interactions between some clouds and the orbs.
They had some troubles with clouds and rotoscoping (making the software determine what objects to treat as separate layers). At 4:50, an orb is moving upward through the cloud. Then, it disappears through the edge of it as if it was behind the cloud. But, it then travels straight down, and now it’s on top of the cloud. They either forgot it was supposed to move behind it, or they just got lazy and didn’t think it would be noticed, according to Hansen.
After a closer look, there’s another visual problem with the clouds. At around the 6:20 mark, as the horizon occasionally bounces up and down from camera movement, the clouds above it remain in the same spot. Typically, they should also bounce.
Another issue about the video is that it is similar to the one posted by YouTube channel Finding UFO on March 14, 2013. Both channels offered the same video more than two years apart, and both of these channels did not provide any necessary information about its origin.
If a cruise vacation is your cup of tea, why not add som science to your trip? Princess Cruises and Discovery Channel have paired up to make science-themed cruises called Discovery at Sea that include activities like stargazing from locations on the open ocean, far from city lights. Credit: Princess Cruises
A new line of science-themed cruises lets passengers stargaze from the open ocean, a unique location far away from city lights.
Princes Cruises and Discovery Channel have created a line of science-themed cruises called "Discovery at Sea." The excursions feature activities like diving with sharks, spending time with exotic wildlife, looking at aurorasand stargazing.
Viewing the night sky from a location far away from city lights can be a magical experience, but it usually requires traveling to very remote locations (which, for some people, is part of the fun). But stargazing on a cruise ship is unique, because the vessel can travel to locations completely devoid of light pollution, and yet viewers are never more than a few steps away from the ship's accommodations. [Stargazing Tips for Amateur Astronomers]
The stargazing sessions are held on "sea nights" when the ship is far from a port. An onboard "Stargazing Specialist" leads the sessions, pointing out constellations and cosmic phenomena, and answering questions.
The program was made in part with astrophysicist Hakeem Oluseyi, an associate professor of physics at the Florida Institute of Technology and a visiting professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Oluseyi hosts Science Channel's "Outrageous Acts of Science" TV show.
For the cruise program, he helped develop the "tour of the sky" that is presented to passengers, he told Space.com. In addition, he recorded a series of exclusive video talks about various astrophysics topics that are available for passengers to watch in their rooms.
At a promotional event for the new cruise line held in New York City, Oluseyi told Space.com that a cruise provided the opportunity to see parts of the sky or cosmic features that might not be visible from the passenger's home location. This includes auroras, which are sometimes visible from the Alaska tours.
"The other thing you can get from a cruise is access to both hemispheres," Oluseyi told Space.com. "The night sky is amazing no matter where you are in the world, but what's really cool is that it changes from place to place."
In the Southern Hemisphere, the band of the Milky Way is straight overhead, rather than slightly off to the side, as it is in the Northern Hemisphere. So viewers from the northern half of the world can see "star clusters and nebula that you wouldn't normally be able to see," he said.
Stargazing nights are available on all Discovery at Sea cruises. More information is available at the program's website.
