There May Be Truth About An Alien Star Map Drawn In 1961

A star system discovered in the southern constellation of Reticulum known as Zeta Reticuli allegedly resembles Betty Hill’s drawing. Betty and Barney Hill first claimed in 1961 that aliens abducted them.

The New Hampshire couple even tried to support their claim with Betty drawing a map of where they thought the aliens originated.

But many experts threw out their claims saying there was no constellation resembled the drawing. However, an expert is now saying that there might be veracity to their claims.

Statistician David Saunders says that Betty’s drawing resembles Zeta Reticuli. He explains that there’s no way Betty could have drawn the star map in random.

Betty said she and Barney were taken into a separate room on board. The couple said the Examiner did some tests to them.

Betty & Barney Hill

According to Betty, who died in 2004, the Examiner put her on a stool and checked her throat, nose, ears, and eyes. She then put on a table for the Examiner to check her nervous system based on what she heard from the aliens.

The aliens allegedly tried to insert a needle-like instrument in her navel, which resulted in too much pain prompting the aliens to stop doing it. Betty said that Barney’s exam was very much the same, but the ETs were more interested in his bone structure.

Betty also claimed that she had an encounter with the alien leader. She asked the leader of their origin, and he showed her a star map showing where they came from. Betty allegedly made the sketch under hypnosis.

This day in UFO history: UFO and Alien Sighting Accounts Of Rendlesham Forest Incident

Over three decades ago from now, the most amazing UFO sighting claim in UK still belongs to the Rendlesham Forest incident in 1980 when encounters with aliens in Suffolk woodland were reported by US servicemen.

The Rendlesham Forest incident not only involves one sighting, but a series or sightings of mysterious, unknown lights and the apparent landing of a spaceship or multiple craft in late December 1980 in Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, England. US Air Force was stationed at RAF Woodbridge at the time, just outside the scene of the UFO sightings.

USA personnel saw various UFO events in their own eyes for the span of two or three days. Now the Rendlesham Forest incident is still one of the best known UFO sightings in any parts of the world. It has been regarded as Britain’s version of the Roswell UFO incident in the US, the reason it is also referred to as Britain’s Roswell.

Rendelsham reconstitution

In a statement released by the Ministry of Defence, the series of sightings did not bring a threat to national security and it was never been investigated as a security matter. However, evidence later surfaced indicating comprehensive investigation done by MoD as supported by substantial file on the subject. Claims of cover-up have risen tremendously after the public knew about the MoD file. Many interpreted the evidence as part of a larger conspiracy to hide the truth about the very true nature of UFOs by both British and United States governments.

However, the MoD file that was released in 2001 consists mostly internal correspondence as well as responses to inquiries from the public. Believers believe that the file is not a whole truth and only released to continue deceiving the public. Meanwhile, sceptics said that the declassified documents only show that MoD were true to their earlier statement that the event posed no threat to national security. Sceptics note the lack of in-depth investigation done by the Ministry of Defence based on the content of the released documents. The sightings have been officially explained as a series of nocturnal lights, misinterpreted as extra-terrestrials in nature.

Bentwaters and Woodbridge joint air bases, located near the Rendlesham Forest, have their share to this unforgettable case. On December 26, 1980, shortly after midnight, RAF Watton’s radar screens in Norfolk showed an unknown object suddenly disappeared in Rendlesham Forest in Suffolk. Located north of the forest, Bentwaters RAF also tracked the strange object on radar.

Woodbridge, which was located south of the forest, and Bentwaters were reported to have housed nuclear weapons. The two bases were leased to the US Air Force.

Radar operator on that night Mal Scurrah said that they were baffled with what was on the radar. They contacted air traffic agencies and they found out that there should have been no activity in the scene at the time. So, the only way to find out the mysterious object in the radar was to send a jet aircraft. When the jets reached approximately a quarter of a mile, one pilot reported that they could notice an unusual bright light in the sky, just in front of them.

Reportedly stationary on the screen, the object then moved off at a tremendous rate of speed. In just approximately five minutes, the aerial thing suddenly reached 90,000 feet and higher until it disappeared on the radar scope. Even in today’s technology, nothing is known to perform such amazing manoeuvre.

Local map

After such an unusual UFO event, sightings of a large glowing object started to take place. Three security guards, who were patrolling the twin bases, followed the lights into the forest upon receiving permission to check the scene. They went to the forest thinking that it could have been a commercial or military aircraft that crash landed.

They were reportedly shocked to see a craft with a shape similar to a saucer. They further saw small beings with large heads, which appeared to be suspended by a beam from the bottom of the craft. These beings seemed to be very busy doing some kind of repair, the reason they did not notice immediately that they were being watched by the three men.

Maintaining a safe distance from the landed object and strange beings, the guards immediately radioed the base headquarters to report what they had seen and requested emergency backup.

The help arrived almost immediately consisted of the armed unit that included senior officers of the base. Reports later came out that witnesses who got closer to the craft experienced mysterious anomalies, such as reality-bending effects, surreal atmospheric conditions, and time displacement. Allegations of communication between the alien beings and senior officers also came out off the record.

On the second night of the sighting, Colonel Halt was one of the group of senior officers called out to chase the glowing object into the forest. He later became a key figure of the Rendlesham Forest UFO sightings investigation. He made a detailed documentation of his journey in the inquiry. He also sent a memorandum to the British MoD.

Stories have surfaced that men who witnessed strange events on the Rendlesham were gathered in an underground theatre, interrogated, sworn to secrecy, debrief, and threatened.

Un OVNI Cigare prend en chasse un hélicoptère militaire US !

Dessin de l’observation au sol par les enquêteurs.
crédit : ovnis-ufo.org/

« Pour cette fin d’année ce petit reportage sur une affaire étrange.

En vous souhaitant de bonnes fêtes. »

Vidéo youtube

Dans la nuit du 18 octobre 1973, le capitaine Lawrence Coyne, pilote militaire d’hélicoptère, a fait une surprenante rencontre avec un objet volant non-identifié de 18 mètres de long environ, de couleur grise, en forme de cigare près de Mansfield, Ohio, USA.

Le capitaine Coyne, qui a dix ans de vol à son actif en tant que pilote de l’armée et pilote civil, commande actuellement le 316e détachement médical (hélicoptères-ambulances) basé sur l’aéroport Hopkins de Cleveland. Lors de cet incident, il pilotait un Bell Huey jet et se trouvait à 50 miles au Sud de sa base.

Trois hommes d’équipage étaient à ses côtés cette nuit-là, et le vol se déroulait à 800 mètres d’altitude, lorsque le sergent Robert Janacseck, chef d’équipage, repéra sur sa droite, une lumière rouge. « Cela se rapproche à toute allure ! », s’écria le sergent. Le capitaine Coyne amorça alors un mouvement de descente afin d’esquiver l’objet, qui volait à plus de 900 km/h, et était venu de l’horizon jusqu’à l’hélicoptère en dix secondes, devait déclarer par la suite le pilote : « Avec les routes suivies, la collision semblait inévitable. »

Coyne dit avoir maintenu l’hélicoptère en position de descente jusqu’à 600 mètres environ (2000 pieds au-dessus du sol) et à environ 500 mètres rassembla toute son énergie en prévision du choc avec l’autre engin. Mais il n’y eut pas d’impact, et, levant les yeux, les membres de l’équipage ont aperçu l’objet paraissant arrêté au-dessus de l’hélicoptère. Ils apercevaient une grande coque grise, d’apparence métallique, d’environ 60 pieds (18 mètres) de long, affectant la forme d’un gros cigare caréné, sur l’avant, une lumière rouge. Le bord d’attaque de l’objet était rougeoyant sur une courte distance à partir du nez, a dit Coyne, et il y avait un dôme central. A l’arrière, une lumière verte se reflétait sur la coque. « Cette lumière pivotait comme le faisceau d’un projecteur ! Très brillante elle traversait notre cockpit, effaçant par son intensité les lueurs des voyants rouges de notre tableau de bord et rendant toutes choses vertes à l’intérieur. »Lorsque la lumière s’était d’abord approchée de son hélicoptère, Coyne avait pensé qu’il s’agissait d’un chasseur à réaction de la base de Mansfield. Par conséquent il avait appelé la base, par radio, pour que fût donné l’ordre à ce chasseur de se tenir hors de la zone de vol de l’hélicoptère. Il venait juste d’établir le contact avec Mansfield, lorsque – au moment où la lumière se rapprochait rapidement – son émetteur était tomé en panne complète, de façon soudaine et inexplicable. L’objet était stationnaire au-dessus de l’hélicoptère, et l’équipage pouvait remarquer qu’il n’y avait pas de hublots, portes ou autres orifices. Puis, après quelques secondes, l’OVNI s’éloigna.

Le danger d’une collision étant passé, le capitaine Coyne reporta son attention sur ses commandes afin d’arrêter la descente de l’appareil, et c’est alors que l’équipage découvrit avec effarement qu’ils se trouvaient à une altitude de 1150 mètres alors qu’ils auraient dû se trouver au-dessous de 450 mètres, puisque leur appareil était en train de descendre et se trouvait précisément à 450 mètres au moment où la collision paraissait inévitable. En outre, un tel appareil ne pouvait de toute façon pas de par lui-même effectuer une remontée pareille dans un si court laps de temps. Coyne dirigea alors l’hélicoptère vers le Nord, sortant de la zone de l’incident, et constata que son émetteur-récepteur radio fonctionnait à nouveau parfaitement.

Les quatre membres d’équipage firent tout de même récit aux enquêteurs, et Coyne précisa que s’il avait été seul à bord, il n’aurait jamais fait part de son aventure, mais ayant des témoins la confirmant, il en fit un rapport complet à ses supérieurs.

Dokter maakt mooiste UFO foto van 2015.

Een Amerikaanse dokter uit de staat Montana heeft 280.000 foto’s van de lucht gemaakt, zonder dat daar iets bijzonders op te zien was. 

Enkele weken geleden echter was het goed raak en heeft hij een foto genomen die met recht de "UFO-foto van het jaar" genoemd mag worden. 

Soms lijkt het alsof het stil is in de lucht boven ons, maar dat is allesbehalve waar. Overal worden nog steeds vreemde vliegende objecten waargenomen. 

Zo ook in ons land, enkele dagen geleden in Etten-Leur: 

Gisteravond (woensdag) om 21.15 liepen wij met de honden buiten (buitengebied) en in de lucht zagen we een oranje ding leek op een vuurbal !! 

Dacht eerst ook een wensballon maar daar was hij te groot voor . Het was geen vliegtuig want die vlogen ook maar die hebben andere lichten. 

Ook geen HELI want die komen hier dagelijks over i.v.m. Breda airport (Seppe). Mijn man en ik weten niet wat het was en toen ik mijn telefoon wilde pakken om te filmen was het ineens weg. 

We weten niet wat het was alleen veel licht leek op vuur en het hing stil en ineens weer weg, raar. 

Mijn man gelooft niet in Ufo's, maar wat het wel was ????? 

Hier zijn helaas geen beelden van, maar misschien zijn er mensen die dit ook hebben gezien en wel beelden hebben. In dat geval horen wij dat graag. 

Iemand die wel opnames heeft is de Amerikaanse Dr. Richard O’Connor. 

Al twee jaar lang is Dr. Richard O’Connor in de weer met een aantal camera’s om te proberen ongewone objecten in de lucht vast te leggen. 

Hij woont in de buurt van de plaats Clancy in de Amerikaanse staat Montana, een gebied wat erg dun bevolkt is.

Dr. Richard O’Connor gelooft dat er meer gaande is boven onze hoofden en was vastbesloten om dit op beeld vast te leggen. 

Hij fotografeert niet zomaar, maar doet dit met behulp van speciale software die bewegingen in de lucht registreert. Iedere keer als er een bepaalde beweging in de lucht plaatsvindt, wordt dit door de camera vastgelegd. 

Nu zullen de meeste bewegingen worden gemaakt door vogels en dergelijke en daarom heeft het dan ook twee jaar en iets van 280.000 foto’s gekost voordat er werkelijk iets interessants op tevoorschijn kwam. 

Dat resultaat mag er dan ook zijn.

Wanneer je beide UFO’s wat uitvergroot, krijg je het volgende:

Vooral de laatste opname is een prachtige want deze laat heel duidelijk en gedetailleerd zien hoe deze UFO eruit ziet. Wat ons betreft kwalificeert deze foto dan ook als UFO foto van het jaar. 

Het is zelden dat er dit soort mooie foto’s worden gemaakt van UFO’s en bovendien afkomstig zijn van een betrouwbare bron. 

Een eerste onafhankelijk onderzoek heeft aangetoond dat de beelden echt zijn en er zullen waarschijnlijk meer onderzoeken volgen. 

Rest de nog steeds onbeantwoorde vraag: Wie of wat zijn het? 

Wie weet komt daar in 2016 een eenduidig antwoord op.

Giant Alien Sphere Over Nellis and Area 51 Air Force Base! Dec 2015, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: December 2015
Location of sighting: California, Arizona and Nevada, USA

Never mind the fact that this 2#$%er is right over Area 51 which has Area S4 inside of it. S4 is the area were they use to test alien tech and then back engineer it. It really makes me wonder if USAF has got their grips on one of these? 

Look at this object. I managed to get it focused and its natural colors are there. 

I first added darkness to make the ball of light focus. I did not add color to any of the photos here. I then put it into negative format and added some light. This is like a Star Trek Borg cube, but in sphere form. It is solid technology and the photos here are 100% proof of it. There is no pixelation here! This is focused!

This is an alien species, probably the Tall Whites that have an underground base inside of Nellis AFB near Las Vegas Nevada. This mother is big, probably 3-5 times bigger than a 747. Just a meteor says naive scientists and amateur astronomers. Meteor my @#$$, that is 100% alien tech shooting over America.

UFO Recorded Over Mountains Of Bolivia On Dec 6, 2015, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: December 6, 2015
Location of sighting: El Alto, LA Paz, Bolivia

Normally I am a little skeptical about video footage that is 15 sec or less, because the chance is higher that it is fake. This however is taken further away than most fakes. Its to fast to be a blimp. As it moves behind the mountain, it lifts itself up and increases speed slightly as it becomes visible on the other side. Its long and cigar shaped, not disk shaped as it first appears. Also it has a wing on its left side. South America does have a higher rate of UFO sightings with clear and focused objects than the US, so this could be real. Amazing catch.

One of The Most Compelling Alien Abduction Cases In History

The following documentary is about one of the most mysterious and compelling UFO, and potential extraterrestrial/alien abduction cases from the witnesses’ perspective themselves.

Twin brothers Jim and Jack Weiner, together with their two friends Charles Foltz and Charles Rack, went on a trip for canoeing and camping to the Allagash in Maine in August 1976. One night they experienced a UFO encounter.

Years after that alien encounter, the brothers suffered nightmares and underwent regression hypnosis. Regressed separately, they shared similar recollections of what took place on the night of their UFO sighting.

Team of Scientists Searches For Aliens Around A Mysterious Star

High-tech telescopes have been observing the unusual star KIC8462852, and they seem to unravel the theory quickly that this star could harbor an advanced alien civilization. The search is just a start of a much bigger experiment for a team at the new organization called SETI International led by Doug Vakoch. The new group should not be confused with the SETI Institute.

Earlier in 2015, Penn State astronomer Jason Wright and Yale postdoctoral graduate student Tabby Boyajian discovered an unusual and perplexing massive structure orbiting star KIC8462852, located 1,500 light years from Earth. It was the first time they saw that kind of thing.

Wright suggested that the massive structure could be a Dyson swarm, a still-in-progress variant of a hypothetical machine called Dyson sphere that an advanced alien civilization would build around a star to collect unimaginable amounts of solar energy.

Vakoch and SETI International scientists got very excited on the implication that an advanced civilization could be building such structure.

The team pointed a small Panamanian telescope at their Boquete Optical SETI Observatory toward the mysterious star for six nights between October 29 and November 28.

Vakoch and his team of scientists were observing the distant stellar system for laser pulses that any potential advanced civilizations might be sending to Earth.

Three out of those same six nights, they also pointed the California-based Allan Telescope Array toward similar star to listen any radio signals.

As of the moment, the team could not find anything to verify the theory about intelligent aliens living in there. Either these aliens stay quiet, or there are no aliens at all.

The team could not also rule out the possibility that the massive, strange objects orbiting this star are comets that were transported from another star. The team has submitted their results for publication in the Astrophysical Journal Letters.

Despite the fact that the team did not find anything, Vakoch, the SETI International president, said he did not consider it as a failure. He explained that it was an entirely different process of looking for signals from KIC8462852 than the usual type of searchers that they do.

Vakoch said that they had established a new system for hunting aliens by coordinating observations from both the Allan Telescope Array and the telescope in Panama.

Vakoch is confident that we have observatories around the world to look into a transient signal that will be detected in the future.

Vakoch hopes to apply their new approach of searching towards other stars with planets and hopes that one or more of those systems will be sending a signal to Earth.

For the first time ever, astronomers have directly observed planets in the process of being born.

Scientists have photographed a gas-giant exoplanet forming around a young star called LkCa 15, which lies about 450 light-years from Earth.

"It's exciting, because it's the first time that we've been able to image forming planets directly," study lead author Stephanie Sallum, a graduate student at the University of Arizona, told Space.com. "It gives us a system to follow up in the future, in depth, to really understand the details of how planets form." [Gallery: The Strangest Alien Planets]

The LkCa 15 system features a large disk of dust and gas surrounding a sunlike star that's just 2 million years old. Such circumstellar disks commonly surround newborn stars, providing the raw materials from which planets form.

Indeed, previous studies have spotted large gaps in some disks that newly accreting alien worlds likely cleared out. Scientists have even detected disk asymmetries and heat signatures that have been interpreted as evidence of planets inside these gaps.

Adaptive optics observations from the Large Binocular Telescope and the Magellan Adaptive Optics System (color scale) show multiple sources in the cleared region of the LkCa 15 transition disk (gray scale).

View full size image

Such a gap exists in LkCa 15's disk, and one giant protoplanet candidate, known as LkCa 15b, was detected in the system in 2012, at a distance of about 16 astronomical units (AU) from the star. (One AU is the distance from Earth to the sun, about 93 million miles or 150 million kilometers.)

To learn more, Sallum and her colleagues zeroed in on the LkCA 15 system using the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT), an observatory in southeastern Arizona that boasts two 27-foot-wide (8.4 meters) primary mirrors.

The team confirmed the existence of LkCA 15b, imaging it directly in hydrogen-alpha photons, a type of light that's emitted when superheated material accretes onto a newly forming world. (Like newborn stars, newborn planets are surrounded by disks of feeder material.)

Other LBT observations revealed the presence of another newborn planet, LkCA 15c, inside the gap and suggested that a third (LkCA 15d) exists there as well, study team members report online today (Nov. 18) in the journal Nature.

"We're seeing sources in the clearing," Sallum said. "This is the first time that we've been able to connect a forming planet to a gap in a protoplanetary disk."

"The researchers' discovery provides stringent constraints on planet-formation theories," Zhaohuan Zhu of Princeton University, who was not affiliated with the new study, wrote in an accompanying "News & Views" piece in the same issue of Nature. "For example, such theories now have to explain how a giant planet can form 15-16 AU from its star within 2 million years, and still be growing after this time."

The new technique demonstrated by Sallum and her team could lead to the discovery of many other newly forming exoplanets, allowing astronomers to learn much more about the distribution of young worlds, Zhu added.

"Such an understanding of the young planet population will shed light on the decades-old problem of planet formation, and reveal how young planetary systems can evolve into older ones such as our solar system, billions of years after they were born," Zhu wrote.

Filer’ Files #52 – 2015 Merry Christmas Miracles -PART II

Sightings of UFOs in the United States

Arizona Light

As I was leaving for work, I looked up and noticed an object in the sky on December 8, 2015. At first, I assumed it must be a star, but there were no other stars in the sky.

I spent 20 years in the Air Force and strongly believe this was not an airplane.

Also, on the 4th of July my brother in-law and I saw multiple objects in the sky that appeared to be purple.Thanks to MUFON CMS

California Strange Light

Soquel — I took three photos while on a walk in my neighborhood in the Santa Cruz Mountains on December 15, 2015. It was a beautiful rainy day and I felt compelled to stop and take some photos with my cell phone. At the time I stopped I did not notice any blue orbs in the distance yet they appeared on 2/3 photos I took. It looks like the orb was moving as it is in different locations in the two photos.

You can see that the orb is half behind a tree branch and you can see the illumination of it peaking behind! I was totally blown away when I saw these after my walk when I got home and loaded them on to my computer. . Thanks to MUFON CMS

Florida Object

Fort Pierce — I was at work outside and I looked up and saw what appears to be a triangle on November 18, 2015.

It was a pyramid sucking in the clouds surrounding it was roughly at 11 o’clock or 85 degrees in the northeast sky.

It was roughly at an altitude of 10,000 feet and was roughly 300 feet wide.

I grabbed my camera and snapped photos that I need someone to see.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Illinois Lights

St Charles – I was returning to work in the afternoon. There were some beautiful cloudbanks southeast of my location.

I snapped a photo, and did not realize until I downloaded them that evening that the object was there. Once I saw the picture,

I was hoping that someone here would be interested in seeing the photo. I had seen a UFO in this vicinity years ago, as well.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

 Indiana Triangle Orange Lights

Evansville – On December 14, 2015, three of us witnessed a triangle shaped object with orange colored lights steadily progress over a period of five hours toward our home from the west. We saw a light beam come directly down very quickly. I took a picture and caught this! We saw one bright red flash. As it went, overhead clouds had covered and a slight break in the clouds showed it overhead. The lights were orange and huge spanning the soccer field next to us. There appeared to be two other triangles to the left, which did not show up. You can see the light beam and something appears to be in it!

Note: The enhanced image (edge detection) shows a beam vertically below the three orange lights. This is consistent with what the witnesses saw. One wonders why the object was airborne for so long (5 hours). Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website

Michigan Disc

Marquette — I was at the beach checking out the waves on December 11, 2015. This area is well known for some sightings but some have come close to this in another area.

I felt shaky after I saw that comment because I was confused. I was flabbergasted.

The object was an oval shape and continued to hover in the south direction then moved north at a high velocity of speed. Never seen anything excel so fast in my life. ~JE

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Plymouth – On December 18, 2015, I was at my residence and didn’t notice it until I reexamined video of snow I had filmed on my iPhone to send to my family in Turkey. I decided to slow down footage and noticed the UFO.

I immediately thought it was a UFO.
It was unwavering/ quick and blue.
I felt amazed and also shocked at what I saw.
I lost sight quickly. Thanks to MUFON CMS

St Paul – I was walking my dog along the railroad track on December 20, 201, over Como Avenue. It was points of light in the north sky moving N to S in a line. The lights formed a rough line that moved uniformly and silently. As the four passed overhead, the second one diminished in brightness and emitted a red light that disappeared.

I observed a fifth apparently catching up. At this point, there were four flying at the same speed. Then all began to disappear the same as the first. Each light had a bright center enveloped in a fuzzy glow. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Nebraska Pilot Sighting

Omaha — I am an air traffic controller for Minneapolis Center and at 7 PM, the pilot of an air carrier (heavy) that was under my control reported two flights of two aircraft on March 25, 2004. There were no other aircraft in the vicinity at the time. He said they were 15 miles in front of him at 35,000 feet traveling away from him in a westerly direction. The UFO’s stayed out in front of his aircraft for 15 minutes until the pilot said that the UFO’s were so far out in front of him that he could hardly see them anymore. After being relieved of my duties, I reported it to my supervisor who put me in contact of the Military Air Defense who said that they saw no objects in the area of this aircraft.

((NUFORC Note: We have communicated multiple times with the witnesses. They both confirm that no radar returns were visible on the Controller’s radar screen at the time of the incident. The case has been forwarded to the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomenon (www.narcap.org). The case is under active investigation! The above image is a rendering. Thanks to Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJWebsite

New York Light and Object

Buffalo — I have been sitting on these photos for a while for various reasons. As soon as I started documenting the geoengineering activities laying waste to the skies, anomalous objects started appearing that I had trouble comprehending on July 11, 2015. There were pulsating lights, silver orbs floating in sky, and this object, which I still cannot identify. I have never seen a shape-shifting drone before. The object was completely silent, pitch black, and moved swiftly. I was taking pictures of the sky when the object emerged from behind a tree. All photos taken at 20:25 EST from Elmwood and Lafayette Avenue. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New York — I was out UFO hunting in Manhattan, with my phone camera on September 9, 2015. I had a feeling that if I walked around in East Harlem on 117th where I live that I might see something. I walked south on 3rd Ave and saw several fast moving strange lights that were too fast to capture.

I walked to Lexington Avenue to see a strange whiteness in the clouds. There was a big flash of light when I took the picture, which came out looking like a black saucer that I have seen in daylight before. This photo really surprised me, and we still don’t know what it is. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Ohio Sphere

Hillsboro — I am always taking sky pictures and not always but every now and then, I find things that shouldn’t be there.

On December 14, 2015, was one of those times.

I take random pictures without really focusing because I like surprises and because I like aiming at the sun and surrounding clouds and it is hard to really focus at those.

I got home, connected my phone to the computer and went through my pictures. This is when I saw them. I circled them. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Puerto Rico Moving Objects

I took two pictures of the moon on September 28, 2015. Pictures were taken with my iPhone from the same place. The different time is the time it took to make the close-up a minute later.

The object quickly moved from under to over the moon. It looks too big for a satellite. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Washington Disc

Arlington – On October 16, 2015, I saw three UFO’s at night. The one I wanted to really tell you about happened during the day around 10:30 AM. I reported it to MUFON for the first time ever and they sent an email me followed by a phone interview. We were heading for the Grey Wolf Lodge for a vacation scanning the clouds when I noticed a hovering silver disc. I could see the sun light reflecting off it. It had no wings, windows, or lights. I stared at the object as it vanished and then reappeared! It hung out for another minute then disappeared again. This is the first thing I have seen in 46 years that actually made me believe they could be here.

The date of occurrence was October 16, 2015, but I didn’t get a real photo. It kept disappearing! The craft looked like two metal silver colored dinner plates stacked face to face. Thanks to William Puckett, DirectorWebsite

Sydney — On our way back from coffee, on December 19, 2015, we noticed chemtrails being conducted in a cross over pattern above the sky. I took photos of the plane in action as it was undertaking the second trail. When I got upstairs and revised the photo, I spotted an orb of silver/metallic appearance with six bright lights clearly visible upon the surface of the orb. The lights are clearly distinct once uploaded to my pc.

With the second lot of photos the orb in a different location and seems to be fainter, but still had the characteristic lights within lights. In the second photo, the orb/craft is not visible and returns in the third photo to a new location compared to the first photo.

Brazil Light

Bragança Paulista — I was taking a picture of the moon on November 26, 2015.

Then I saw something with a square shape passing by, I got one shot of it and then it disappeared.

Canada Orb

Ingersoll, Ontario – My sister took this photo on November 4, 2015.

China Tower

Shanghai — While visiting China, we took photos outside the Oriental Pearl Tower before we went in for supper. I took this photo and realized the glow in the photo R/H side. After taking the photo I could not see anything, thus did not worry further. Sometime later I was checking the pictures and noticed the light , however it was not until MUCH LATER when returning back to South Africa , , after loading all pictures on my Lap Top , that I was intrigued by this picture I took. I have NO explanation what is was, but when I took the picture it was there, and next thing GONE!

Finland Sphere

Artjarvi — I was out for smoke on porch a humming vibration sound then a ball of light flew over my porch on December 18, 2015. It was 3:00 AM when the sphere moved south. It could have taken off from ground next to me, I’m not sure. Did not seem to be meteor. On September 15, 2015, I saw a disk at the same location. Thanks to MUFON CMS

France Vessels

Saint Chamas — It all started four years ago when my companion and I came out in the garden with my dog to 11:50 p.m. Twice in three days we saw two very large vessels at low altitude. The first resembled a structure that emitted a light that shined from the inside. The second spent time above my home and was scarier, and very dark with a kind of visible electricity on its surface. They moved in silence.

A few weeks after I visited my family 780km from my home at night I was able to observe the phenomena. Since we moved to St. Chamas the craft do not stop and fly over my home. My wife and I saw huge phenomenon in the spring 2014 when we saw two pyramidal formations. Thanks to MUFON CMS

India UFO Buzzes Space Research Center

Mahendragiri Center — Perhaps you noticed, their main building at the ISRO looks a lot like a landed flying saucer. This may be to inspire their people toward space exploration. UFOs have been seen for decades around the world at various space launch sites. If we are sending junk into space, aliens just want to check it out before our space junk causes alien health concerns in space or on the planets our junk crashes on. Especially when we us nuclear powered devices on board.

Shepherds have reportedly sighted a mysterious flying object over ISRO’s Mahendragiri centre. ISRO officials denied any such ‘flight’ over the Centre. Police said the shepherds had told them that the object flew near the seventh watchtower. Website

Norway 75 Orbs

Oslo – I was taking a walk Sunday 22 November 2015, around 13:40 hours. It was when I came to ‘Professor Dahl’s Gate 23’ on the west side in Oslo, when something caught my eye. I was seeing 75 small UFOs, or orb-like objects, floating toward me, with an altitude that seemed to be around 300-400 meters.

As they got closer, I noticed that the flight pattern was strange changing patterns in an unnatural way. They changed lanes smoothly, and flew across each other with a bit of space between them. Five minutes into the sighting, they flew over me. The leading UFOs slowed down, and they gathered in a group! I only managed to get one photo out of the observation. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Spain Humanoid

Las Palmas, Gran Canaria – I found in a photo I took in October that I didn’t look at the photo until weeks later.

I noticed a humanoid that really looks like person but the head is somewhat weird, as you’ll see. I went back a few weeks later and checked a few details.

I calculate if it is indeed a “humanoid” to be no more than 120cm tall (4 feet).

Based on the rocks in the background I am sure there is no way they could have caused the shadow.

He is in the shape of a person or whatever…just weird.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

UK/England Light

London — I was on the bus going home, I like to take photos in this area of London as its very pretty (Putney bridge). I didn’t notice this object until showing my wife the photo when I got home. Sun at first, didn’t fit anything else, but was too prominent in shape to be the sun and looks in front of the cloud cover. I didn’t notice or see it in real time, but it’s quite distorted so looks like it was traveling, or moving, however I was on a bus when taking this photo moving at approx 5mph, the person in photo is slightly distorted, but nothing compared to the object.

When noticing it in the photo I felt surprised, excited, slightly shocked. Was a photo sighting not real time so I’m very uncertain but open minded as to what it might be. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Uruguay Lights

Suarez — This is a picture I have seen a UFO in many places in my city.

It’s an old photo dating from 1940. There is an object shaped hat also seen.

This photo was taken from an old box. I find it curious, and it can be anything, but at that time, people did not think about spaceships or anything like that.

I do not think it’s a setup; people see that photo and do not notice that there is something there. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Zaire Light

I was at my house going outside for a smoke when I noticed a very bright star on January 2, 2015.

After looking for a while, I saw that this star was moving very fast. Not believing my own eyes, I decided to make a video in fact I made two with different devices.

Recently was having problems with my tablet and I freed up memory when I saw the video of the flying light. The UFO was still in the air when I went to bed.

I never thought it was a UFO that night. Thanks to MUFON CMS’

A Christmas star without a tail

An asteroid is going to pass by Earth for Christmas. However, it has no shining tail like the star of Bethlehem. And it may be difficult to spot - even for hobby astronomers, because the asteroid won't get that close.

The asteroid with the number 163899, also known under the name 2003 SD220, will fly by planet Earth at a safe distance of 11 million kilometers on New Year's Eve. That's equivalent to 28 times the distance between us and the moon.

As a comparison: The last asteroid that flew by Earth on a holiday came much closer to our planet. "The great pumpkin," also known as "2015 TB145," came as close as only 500,000 kilometers to our planet right on Halloween this year.

And in 2013 the asteroid 2012 DA14 flew by Earth as close as 28,000 kilometers. That's lower than some geostationary communication satellites are orbiting the Earth.

No unusual asteroid

The New Year's Eve asteroid falls into a class of celestial objects that are not uncommon. There are several per year, and they are not considered a threat to us. Only asteroids that approach Earth closer than 300,000 kilometers deserve special attention from astronomers.

2003 SD220 has an estimated diameter of about 700 meters. Objects of such size would cause global damage if they struck Earth. However, astronomers estimate that such an impact would happen only once in about 100,000 years.

Space engineers want to divert dangerous asteroids using spacecraft

Keeping an eye on objects in space

Astronomers from the world's large space agencies are constantly keeping an eye on such threats from space. For the next 100 years, they exclude the possibility of such a severe meteorite hitting out planet.

The largest asteroids in our solar system are known to us, and their orbits have been calculated for decades to come. More problematic are smaller objects, even just over ten meters in size, as those can race towards earth undetected. Suddenly they can come out of the darkness and strike the Earth, like the 40-meter large rock that landed near the Siberian town of Chelyabinsk in 2013. The shockwave that ensued ultimately destroyed windows all over the town - and injured as many as 1,500 people.

The next spectacular fly-by of a big asteroid is expected in April 2029. That's when Apophis will pass Earth at a distance of only 30,000 Kilometers. That is roughly one tenth of the distance of the moon. Apophis is several hundred meters in diameter, and the asteroid is set to return once again after that - in 2036.

By Jessica Orwig

(Danielle Futselaar/SETI International) 
Alien-hunting telescopes have peered at the mysterious star KIC8462852 and are quickly unraveling the theory that this star could harbor an alien megastructure.

The search is just the beginning of a much grander experiment for Doug Vakoch and his team at the new organization called SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) International, not to be confused with the SETI Institute.

For background: earlier this year, Yale postdoctoral graduate student Tabby Boyajian and Penn State astronomer Jason Wright discovered a bizarre and perplexing giant structure orbiting star KIC8462852, which is 1500 light years from Earth. It's unlike anything they've ever seen.

Wright suggested that the giant structure could be what's called a Dyson swarm (shown above). A Dyson swarm is a still-in-progress version of a hypothetical machine known as a Dyson sphere, which an intelligent civilization would construct around their host star to collect tremendous amounts of solar energy.

How to look and listen for aliens

The implication that an advanced alien race could be building such a structure got Vakoch and the scientists at SETI International very excited.

.

(Uploaded by Noonehasthisnameithink on Wikipedia) 
For six nights between Oct. 29 and Nov. 28, they pointed a small Panamanian telescope at their Boquete Optical SETI Observatory toward the star.

They were hunting the distant stellar system for laser pulses that any potential aliens might be sending Earth's way.

And for three out of those same six nights, they also turned the California-based Allan Telescope Array (shown on the right) toward the same star to listen for any radio signals (just in case the potential aliens didn't have lasers).

As far as they could tell, anyone living around KIC8462852 is staying quiet since they didn't detect any artificial signals coming from the system.

Either that, or there are no aliens at all.

The latter is far more likely. The large, irregular objects orbiting this star are probably comets that were transported from another star, they say.

The team recently published their results on the pre-print server site ArXiv.org and have submitted it for publication in the ahe Astrophysical Journal Letters.

A new system for hunting aliens

"I think a lot of people would say that, 'Oh, you didn't find anything and therefore you've failed,'" Vakoch, who is the President of SETI International, told Business Insider. "But it was actually a quite different process of searching for signals from KIC8462852 than the usual sort of searches that we do."

By coordinating observations from both the telescope in Panama with the Allan Telescope Array, Vakoch and the team have begun to establish what they hope will be a brand new system for hunting aliens.

"If a signal is detected that happens to be somewhat transient, we need observatories around the world to look at this and have the capabilities to observe," Vakoch said.

Moving forward, Vakoch hopes to apply this new approach toward other stars with planets. Perhaps one or more of those systems will be sending a signal toward Earth.

Stop listening and start talking

"The key, if we really do detect a signal, is to able to look at the same star at the same time with different observatories," Vakoch said.

So far, SETI International has not set priorities on which stars they'll study, but Vakoch personally hopes to begin studying those that are closest to Earth.

And if SETI discovers a signal in the coming years, then Vakoch has plans for how to make contact.

"We need to look even more closely at the nearest stars, and that's in preparation for getting ready to send signals to other stars. That's one of the major goals of the new organization ... which is to look at innovative strategies to make contact that don't rely on just listening for signals but also sending intentional signals of our own," Vakoch said.

[HD] The UFO Phenomenon Explained—18 of the Best Orb UFO Sightings Ever Recorded

This world is more than meets the eye, and I literally mean it. Our eyes can see only a small part of the light spectrum which means that many things remain hidden from us, or cannot be understood due to the limits set by our body, and I am not talking about bacteria or viruses here.

 

It has been discovered recently that an entire world of UFOs coexists with our own. They have the capability of appearing into our dimension – when we can see them with the naked eye, but most of the time they remain hidden from us, and can only be observed with the help of special light filters.

 

The phenomenon is absolutely real, and it may involve actual alien crafts, artificial intelligence, organic beings with the ability to fly, or even light spirits who reside inside our planet. Mostly referred to as “orb UFOs”, the spectacular appearances are performing bizarre rituals in the sky which are beyond our comprehension level.

 

 

Apart from the dynamic movement and the tremendous speeds at which they travel, the orb UFOs were also filmed while morphing, shooting at chem trails or even releasing other small orbs. They appear to be drawn by huge energy fluxes, with some of them appearing above or inside of massive thunderstorms, while others seem to like the energy released by big crowds of people (during music festivals, meditating sessions and so on).

 

After Jim Martin, a UFO enthusiast and analyst witnessed a peculiar UFO encounter, he decided to upgrade his gear and start chasing UFOs in order to better understand what is going on. With the help of a full spectrum camera and other special lens and filters, he succeeded in capturing many UFOs performing different tricks around his house. After a while, he decided to share all this forbidden knowledge with the rest of the world, so he narrated a short but extremely informative video with this intensifying phenomenon.

 

 

 

The orb UFOs behavior differ from sighting to sighting, but they also keep common traits such as the pulsating light which expands and then quickly closes in, and also the dynamic of movement which is a fairly impressive feat as it cannot be achieved by any of our earthly crafts. Speaking of crafts, another interesting thing to note is the fact that ground radars fail to detect all these UFOs, thus making the hypothesis of them being otherworldly creatures more viable.

 

The nature or origins of this things remains yet a topic of debate, but from what we have seen, they appear to return to the ground instead of disappearing out in space. Could they reside here on earth? Is it possible that secret alien bases are found on this planet? I believe that it is likely to be so if we think of all the unexplored and inaccessible places on Earth, also since society brought us close inside of industrialized cities, our daily exploration range extends close to nothing.

 

 

So how can we explain these playful UFOs? And what might their purpose on our planet be? Are these protective spirits? Or maybe organic beings who used to reside on Earth long before humanity?

 

Whatever the case, since more and more people are attracted by this, the truth might surface at some point, and hopefully we and the rest of the world will be prepared to embrace a new idea of life, while erasing and rewriting the current one. Stay vigilant!

Scientists Discover that Human DNA Bears a Message from Extraterrestrials

A new study reveals how the human DNA was encoded using an extraterrestrial signal used by ancient aliens who visited Earth in the distant past.

 

The study is called “The “Wow! Signal” of the terrestrial genetic code”, and it is the work of two researchers from the Department of Mathematics, respectively Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute, Almaty, Republic of Kazakhstan.

 

The two authors of the study, researchers Vladimir I. shCherbak and Maxim A. Makukov, trust in the existence of a “Biological SETI” – a mathematical code residing inside the human DNA, and is something that cannot be explained via the course of evolution as traditional theories claim.

 

According to the study, science is a step closer to proving the Ancient Astronaut theory as well as the hypothesis of our species being engineered by advanced aliens through DNA manipulation. The scientific duo stated in the Icarus Journal that:

 

Once fixed, the code might stay unchanged over cosmological timescales. In fact, it is the most durable construct known. Therefore it represents an exceptionally reliable storage for an intelligent signature. Once the genome is appropriately rewritten, the new code with a signature will stay frozen in the cell and its progeny, which might then be delivered through space and time.

 

In other words, the human DNA is designed with such a precision that it reveals an “ensemble of arithmetical and ideographical patterns of symbolic language”.

 

 

As a result of this study, other researchers now discuss the probability of us humans being engineered outside of our solar system by our alien creators several billion years ago, a hypothesis strongly supported by the many ancient texts found on Earth that speak of the creation of mankind and the creator gods or deities.

 

However, the study also focuses on the idea that life on Earth emerged as a result of microbiological particles being carried throughout the cosmos on asteroids and comets, which behave as giant transportation devices that plant life on different planets capable of sustaining it. This theory differs from the classic evolution theory, as its supporters believe that we were not a random product of evolution, but a certain creation of our makers, designed and sent to Earth on purpose.

 

Cherbak and Makukov presented a detailed analysis of the human genome that shows a previously ignored precision-type method in the mapping between the DNA’s nucleotides and amino acids. The duo stated that:

 

Simple arrangements of the code reveal an ensemble of arithmetical and ideographical patterns of symbolic language. Accurate and systematic, these underlying patterns appear as a product of precision logic and nontrivial computing.

 

 

So is it possible that we were designed by advanced alien beings with extended knowledge of creating life through DNA manipulation? If so, is the human species a product originating from another planet in this vast universe? Or is it rather a product designed on Earth by an advanced race who anchored on this planet in the ancient past, as many timeworn texts suggests?

 

While we cannot deny the panspermia hypothesis claiming that life on the earth originated from microorganisms or chemical precursors of life present in outer space that were able to initiate life upon reaching a suitable environment, we find it likely that life on Earth is in fact a product of more intelligent species with the ability to create life. Whatever may be the case, the upcoming years will reveal more information regarding topics that were until now forbidden or ignored.

The First Reported Alien Abduction Is Finally Getting The Movie It Deserves

Scan reveals ‘magic symbols’ inscribed onto a 1,300 year old silver scroll

According to one of the researchers, the silver plate which is only 0.01 cm thick was made by a professional ‘magician’ in the distant past.

 

A silver roll discovered inside an ancient amulet has revealed what appears to be a magical spell that remained a secret for over 1300 years. Researchers believe that the mysterious inscription was placed there by a Jewish “magician” who lived in Jerash, one of the most important and best preserved Roman cities in the Near East around 740 AD.

 

Although the outer metal case was cracked and corroded, experts managed to extract the delicate silver scroll inside. In ancient times, it was common to write spells in small sheets of lead, silver or gold, which often served as a protection against evil. However, these metal inscriptions were not put inside to be read, they were actually used as the heart of the amulet to which the sorcerer consecrated a certain power. This and the fact that the enrolled text was filled with mysterious magical characters has made it nearly impossible for experts to decipher

In order to solve the mystery surrounding the ancient silver roll, archaeologists from the University of Aarhus, Denmark led by Rubina Raja performed a CT scan and a 3D model of the artifact in order to unroll the Jerash scroll digitally which allowed the accurate display of 17 lines of text written in a unknown language along with what are believed to be a set of magical symbols used by the sorcerer.

 

Experts believe that the first line consists of magical spells written in some form of Greek while the rest of the text appears to be written in some sort of Arabic language which remains undeciphered. According to the report published in Nature, ancient “wizards” or “magicians” invented their own languages and, exploiting the fact that most of the time people could not read or write, generated meaningless messages or whose sense only they knew.

 

 

‘The scroll was inscribed with 17 lines in presumed pseudo-Arabic as well as some magical signs,’ the study, published in Nature, said.’

 

‘It is difficult to identify meaningful words, and there certainly are many cases that can hardly be reconciled with Arabic, both in regard to letter shapes and ligaturing,’ the study said. ‘

 

Researchers state that the text also contains signs that clearly do not match or imitate Arabic letters, most of which are found in the first line.

 

Dr Raja said: ‘We’ve sent it out to the world’s leading philologists, and all came to the conclusion that they can’t read it, and that it must be pseudo-Arabic.’

 

‘Collectively, it has not been possible to assign these signs to a known alphabet. Since we presume that the artefact is an amulet and since the main text seems to be in pseudo-script (characteristic of many magical texts), it is reasonable to view the signs as ‘magical’.’

 

The Jerash amulet was discovered in 2014 in the ruins of house that was destroyed in 749AD

 

‘The silver plate is only 0.01 cm thick. It is very thinly beaten and it’s a magnificent specimen, ‘Dr Raja said.

 

‘It was clear when the scroll was removed from the container that it was inscribed since several lines of incised letters were visible on the reverse of the folded metal sheet.

 

 

Hidden for over 1300 years, a silver scroll seen to the top of the image was discovered hidden in an ancient amulet seen to the bottom, revealing what appears to be a undeciphereed magical spell.

 

‘The use of magical signs was widespread in antiquity and they are found in texts written on a multitude of mediums.’

 

Even though experts have absolutely no idea what is written on the scroll, this is extremely exciting news for them since the scroll shows that Greco-Roman and Semitic traditions lived on beyond the Arab invasion, even though they were presumed to have died out.

 

‘Since it was not possible to read the ‘text’ we cannot identify the religious affiliation of the amulet’s owner,’ the researchers wrote.’

 

‘Even if in the case of the Jerash scroll we cannot reconstruct a text from the (pseudo-)script, it is an important contribution to the reconstruction of mentalities and daily life in the ancient world.’

The story of Christmas began when three wise men saw something strange in the sky and decided to investigate.

Anyone who's seen a UFO can easily relate to what those wise men might have been thinking, and that's what makes the images in these paintings so compelling.

Many unusual aerial objects depicted in paintings between the 14th to the early 18th century look, at first glance, like modern-day UFO sightings.

It's easy to wonder why artists of those long-ago centuries seemed obsessed with including these curious objects in scenes surrounding the stories of the birth and death of Jesus Christ.

The first example here is a wall mural, or fresco, from 1350, "The Crucifixion," artist unknown, in the Visoki Decani Monestary in Kosovo, Yugoslavia. Two odd-looking objects with "pilots" can be seen in the sky on both sides of Jesus.

"As odd as the details in the upper left and right sections of the Kosovo fresco may seem to modern eyes, they, in fact, refer to something readily familiar: the sun and the moon," according to Dennis Geronimus, associate professor of Italian Renaissance art and chair of the Department of Art History at New York University.

"The strangeness, to our sensibilities, no doubt lies in the fact that the two celestial bodies are personified by two crouching figures that are shown as inhabiting them: producing a kind of 'man in the moon' effect," Geronimus told HuffPost in an email.

He added that the apparent simultaneous presence of both the sun and moon, "alludes to mentions in several of the Gospels of the sky growing dark in daytime during Christ's crucifixion."

Our next painting, from 1486, is "The Annunciation with Saint Emidius," by Carlo Crivelli, that resides at the National Gallery in London. It shows a circular object shooting a thin beam of light down to the Virgin Mary.

"The golden beam descending from a cloud bank through an opening in Mary's bedroom wall, and reaching its destination at the Virgin's head, carries along its path the Holy Spirit," said Geronimus. "Characteristically, here it assumes the form of a white dove and symbolizes the incarnation.  

"The Virgin Mary is shown as being infused -- or, to put it literally, impregnated -- with the Holy Spirit, a miraculous event that will lead to the birth of Christ."

The following image is a close-up of that circular cloud bank.

Computer scientist Jacques Vallee agrees with Geronimus' take on these works of art. But he wonders why this form of symbolism seems to crop up in so many works of art from these years.

"It's certainly true that these paintings do not represent actual sightings by the artist or contemporary events of the scene," Vallee told HuffPost. Vallee and his co-author, Chris Aubeck, are about to publish an extensive update to their 2010 book, "Wonders in the Sky," which looks at reports of strange aerial objects reported by many people -- including scientists -- in pre-20th century accounts, beginning in 1879 and moving backward in time to biblical sightings.

"The value of it, scientifically, is that now we can anchor the beginning of the UFO phenomenon into real, documented history," Vallee said.

"You cannot simply say that, because somebody saw something round in the sky in medieval times, it's the same phenomenon that people see today. We are not making that statement. We're simply describing what people saw and the phenomena associated with it as a contribution to the overall study of the history of the phenomenon."

Vallee (see image below) was a principal speaker in 1978 at the only major United Nations UFO presentation in history, where he urged serious, international, unbiased research, focusing on those UFO reports considered truly unidentified.

"I think the skeptics are right in saying that many of the reports have to do with things that, today, we recognize as comets and meteors and other natural phenomena. And that's fair. We go through that and eliminate those and we keep the ones that are unidentified," Vallee said.

In the late 1960s, Vallee's early UFO research was so respected by the United States Air Force that his books were recommended reading to cadets at the Air Force Academy in Colorado.

He points out how many people misinterpret unexplained objects seen in old paintings. 

"We don't go into ideology. We're not saying it's proof of alien anything. We're saying there is a phenomenon and it has some of the characteristics of the modern phenomenon, and we let it go at that. You still have to account for differential descriptions because of the changes in the cultures and the changes in the media, through which the data has arrived to us." 

Our next painting to consider, from the 15th century, "Madonna and Child with the Infant St. John," is attributed to more than one artist and is located at the Palazzo Vecchio Museum in Florence, Italy. Mary, mother of Jesus, is seen looking down while, in the background, something unusual is taking place.

What appears as a domed UFO is hovering in the sky while a man and his dog are standing on a ledge staring up at it. These details are revealed in the following composite image.

"The dark blue, almond-shaped form, emitting golden rays, constitutes a symbol that was very common in the Renaissance, when this [circular panel, for private devotion] was painted," said Geronimus. 

"It alludes to the announcement of Christ's birth in Bethlehem to the shepherds, as told in the Gospel of St. Luke (2:8-14). The awed shepherd and his trusted dog are easy to spot here. Rather than depicting an angel as the divine messenger, however, this Florentine master represents the sign more naturalistically -- and obliquely: as a celestial phenomenon."

Our final Christmas painting, from 1710, "Baptism of Jesus," created by Arendt de Gelder, is at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, UK.

It depicts a large, circular object shooting beams of light down toward Jesus.

"The four rays that pass down from the sky to illuminate the kneeling figure of Christ, as he is baptized by St. John, refer to the divine power of the Holy Spirit, as embodied again by the white dove hovering at the center of the radiant cloud from which the rays emanate," said Geronimus.

Here's a close-up of that circular cloud with the light beams.

"What is unusual, really, about this composition is not so much the literal quality of the Holy Spirit's celestial origins, but the fact that the baptism is here imagined as seemingly a nocturnal event.

"Suffice it to say," Geronimus concludes, "none of these painted details amount to early modern UFO sightings, which isn't to say that the Kosovo muralist's or Carlo Crivelli's contemporary audiences did not believe in otherworldly beings or supernatural events."
