Conspiracy Theorists Claim UFO Sighting Over An Active Volcano Is Proof Of Aliens Monitoring Earth
Conspiracy Theorists Claim UFO Sighting Over An Active Volcano Is Proof Of Aliens Monitoring Earth
The video of a fantastic light moving in the sky during the Christmas Season has triggered much debate online since it was shared on social media.
Webcams installed in Mexico caught the mysterious light moving erratically over Popocatépetl, an active volcano that lies in the states of Morelos, Mexico, and Puebla, in Central Mexico.
Many people in social media said that the video showed a real UFO sighting and additional evidence of ETs that are monitoring planet Earth.
Meanwhile, some skeptical viewers stated that the so-called UFO was just the flare of a firework. The debate got so heated, particularly in YouTube, that the video author deactivated the comment function.
The Popocatepetl volcano is estimated to be 730,000 years old. Its latest eruption happened on October 7, 2015.
Fantastic work by Richard D Hall. A must watch! The phenomenon of animal mutilation is difficult to explain in conventional terms, and has been linked for decades with UFO's, because strange lights are sometimes witnessed in proximity to sites where animal carcases are found. But have human beings suffered similar attacks? This film attempts to answer this very controversial question. Rumours about human mutilation have circulated the UFO community for years with some people claiming to have had contact with a military group which is used to acquire the corpses of victims of human mutilation. In the film we reveal the testimony of a black ops soldier, who was employed by a secret NATO "find and secure" military team. Their job is to search for and then protect sites where human mutilation has taken place. This is the FULL MOVIE.
After coming under increasing public pressure, Federal authorities launched a comprehensive investigation of the mutilation phenomenon.
In May 1979, the case was passed on to the FBI, which granted jurisdiction under Title 18 (codes 1152 and 1153). The investigation was dubbed "Operation Animal Mutilation."
The investigation was funded by a US$ 44,170 grant from the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration, and was headed by FBI agent Kenneth Rommel. It had five key objectives: To determine the reliability of the information on which the grant was based, which entailed gathering as much information as possible about the cases reported in New Mexico prior to May 1979 To determine the cause of as many mutilations as possible, especially those reported in New Mexico To determine if livestock mutilations as described constitute a major law enforcement problem If these mutilations do constitute a major law enforcement problem, to determine the scope of the problem and to offer recommendations on how to deal with it If it is shown that the mutilation phenomenon is not a law enforcement problem, to recommend that no further law enforcement investigations be funded.
Rommel's final report was 297 pages long and cost approximately US$45,000. It concluded that mutilations were predominantly the result of natural predation, but that some contained anomalies that could not be accounted for by conventional wisdom. The FBI was unable to identify any individuals responsible for the mutilations. Details of the investigation are now available under the Freedom of Information Act.

Strange Mutilation - UFO Linda Cattle by Documentary Harvest Howe A Moulton 1980
Published on May 30, 2014
A Strange Harvest is a Awarded Documentary about Animal Mutilations by Linda Moulton Howe. Linda Moulton Howe is well known for her investigations of cattle mutilations, and her conclusion is, that they are of extraterrestrial origin. She is also noted for her speculations that the U.S. government is involved with aliens.
The Truth about Cattle Mutilations
Published on Feb 4, 2015
Cattle mutilation (also known as bovine excision) is the killing and mutilation of cattle under apparently unusual or anomalous circumstances. Sheep and horses have allegedly been mutilated under similar circumstances.
Animal Mutilation & The Government Cover Up
Published on May 19, 2012
This is a conference by Richard D. Hall giving you the FACTS on Animal Mutilation & The Government Cover Up surrounding it. Its disturbing enough to think that this is going on, let alone thinking that we are all being lied to about it, and the lengths these evil people will go to the distort the truth from the facts. It also demonstrates just how many of us know about the phenomenon and others that don't, do what you can to get others to at least discuss it. DEFRA the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs knows full well whats going on and so do other agencies like MI5 etc. Stay tuned if you want the FACTS or visit RICHPLANET.NET.

Cattle Mutilations Alien or Secret Military Operations (DOCUMENTARY)
Published on Jan 18, 2015
Since the time that reports of purported animal mutilations began, the causes have been attributed variously to UFOs, natural decomposition, normal predators, cryptid predators (like the Chupacabra), extraterrestrials, secretive governmental or military agencies, and cults. "Mutilations" have been the subject of two independent federal investigations in the United States.
Charles Fort collected many accounts of cattle mutilations that occurred in England in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Reports of mutilated cattle first surfaced in the United States in the early 1960s when it was allegedly largely confined to the states of Pennsylvania and Kansas.[citation needed] The phenomenon remained largely unknown outside cattle raising communities until 1967, when the Pueblo Chieftain in Pueblo, Colorado published a story about a horse named Lady who was mutilated in mysterious circumstances, which was then picked up by the wider press and distributed nationwide; this case was also the first to feature speculation that extraterrestrial beings and unidentified flying objects were associated with mutilation.
This Documentary goes in search of the trth regarding cattle mutilations, one of the few UFO documentaries ever based on cthis mysterious phenomena. Watch the full documentary here and if you like this show, please like and subscribe for more full documentaries.

Hillary to open the X-Files: Clinton promises to 'get to the bottom' of Area 51 if she becomes President and stuns reporter by saying 'I think we may have been visited already'
Hillary to open the X-Files: Clinton promises to 'get to the bottom' of Area 51 if she becomes President and stuns reporter by saying 'I think we may have been visited already'
Hillary Clintonreportedly made the promise when speaking with The Conway Daily Sun in New Hampshire
Clinton had previously interviewed with the same reporter in 2007
In 2014, Bill Clinton told late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel that he wouldn't be surprised if aliens visited Earth
Hillary Clinton appeared to agree with her husband's comments last week
She said she would 'get to the bottom' of questions over what the government knows about UFOs and aliens
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has said that if she is elected, she will 'get to the bottom' of questions over what the government knows about UFOs and aliens.
She made the promise when speaking with Daymond Steer of The Conway Daily Sun in New Hampshire. She had previously interviewed with the same reporter in 2007.
When asked if she would support UFO disclosure group efforts, she enthusiastically said 'yes'.
In 2007, Clinton said the most common freedom-of-information requests her husband Bill Clinton received at his library were about UFOs.
Hillary Clinton reportedly told The Conway Daily Sun that she would 'get to the bottom' of questions over what the government knows about UFOs and aliens
She also said she would look into sending a tast force Area 51 (pictured), an Air Force facility rumored to house aliens
'Yes, I'm going to get to the bottom of it,' Hillary Clinton told The Sun reporter last week.
In 2014, Bill Clinton told late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel that he wouldn't be surprised if aliens visited Earth, and last week
'No, I am trying to tell you I don't know, but if we were visited some day I wouldn't be surprised, I just hope it's not like Independence Day,' he said, referring to the 1996 film in which aliens attack the Earth.
Hillary Clinton appeared to agree with her husband's comments when she spoke about aliens on last week.
'I think we may have been (visited already). We don't know for sure,' she said.
She added that she would like to look into Area 51, which she first called Area 54 but quickly corrected herself.
The Air Force facility based in Nevada has long been rumored to house aliens.
Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta is fan of UFO lore, the presidential candidate told the Sun. She said he watches an FX sci-fi show.
'I would tell if there were aliens' Bill Clinton opens up the X Files
Hillary Clinton's husband, Bill Clinton, said in 2014 to late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel that he wouldn't be surprised if aliens visited Earth
Clinton told Kimmel that he hoped there wouldn't be a conflict, like in the movie Independence Day (pictured), if aliens did come to the Earth
'He has made me personally pledge we are going to get the information out,' Hillary Clinton said. 'One way or another. Maybe we could have, like, a task force to go to Area 51.'
Podesta released a statement in 2014 in which he said his biggest regret during his time as a top adviser for President Barack Obama was not securing the release of classified UFO Files.
'Finally, my biggest failure of 2014: Once again not securing the #disclosure of the UFO files. #the truthisstilloutthere,' he said.
Podesta was also the chief of staff to former President Bill Clinton.
In 1993, billionaire Laurance Rockefeller asked then-President Bill Clinton to release UFO files. The president then reportedly met Rockefeller at his Wyoming estate in 1996 to discuss the 'Rockefeller Initiative', which would have securely released previously classified UFO files.
UFO researcher and retired police officer Gary Heseltine told The Mirror that Hillary Clinton 'cannot run away' from links to the Rockefeller Initiative.
'I am well aware of the Rockefeller initiative and that both the Clintons were heavily involved in it,' he told The Mirror. 'It was inevitable that Hillary Clinton would be asked questions about her links to it and I am pleased that she has responded to them.
'She cannot run away from those links so she really has to embrace it in order to remain credible. It will be interesting to see how much of a political issue it will become in her presidential campaign.'
WHAT IS AREA 51? MYSTERIOUS AIR FORCE BASE WE KNOW LITTLE ABOUT
Area 51 is an Air Force facility about 100 miles north of Las Vegas with tight security and high surveillance. There is little traffic in and out and very few people work at the facility.
It is typically is associated with governmental secrecy, particularly in terms of UFOs and extra terrestrials.
Conspiracy theorists often claim that a downed alien spacecraft is being held and studied in the facility, based more on the fact that the government has only recently acknowledged that the base exists and kept the goings on inside its walls a secret than actual, documented facts.
Of the many UFO theories, conspiracy buffs also believe the site was used to - among other things - hold meetings with extraterrestrial life forms, design exotic energy weapons, develop means for weather control, develop time travel and host meetings of the shadowy Majestic 12 one world government organization.
One particular conspiracy was when Roswell, New Mexico sprang to international fame on July 8, 1947, when the local newspaper reported the capture of a 'flying saucer' by government officials in the town.
Over the decades since the discovery, conspiracy theorists have insisted that the debris came from an alien spacecraft, and that the fact was covered up by the military in their secret hangar, Area 51.
The continuing belief of alien activity in the area led the Air Force to launch an investigation into the crash in 1995.
Officials concluded that the 'UFO' was part of a balloon launched into the atmosphere as part of a secret government surveillance programme aimed at the USSR.
However, many have refused to accept that explanation, alleging a conspiracy to hide the existence of extra-terrestrial life.
The United States government only acknowledged the existence of the off-limits military base for the first time in 2013.

Editor’s Note: This gallery, originally published in 2012, has been updated to include other more recent and stunning images of our planet from space.
Since the first photos of our planet were taken from space, an amazing collection of Earth pictures has accumulated. Some are incredible because of the effort that went into making them; others offer stunning new perspectives on our world; many NASA photos were simply marvelous art layered on fantastic science and fueled by remarkable technology. From full-globe Blue Marble images stitched together from satellite imagery to the humbling Pale Blue Dot Earth picture made from deep space, our world has been revealed in all its cosmic splendor.
Here are several historic first pictures of Earth from the moon and from deep space, as well as iconic views of our world from a truly far-out perspective.
Blue Marble: NASA has produced several Blue Marble images. Theoriginal, taken by the crew of Apollo 17, shows the Eastern Hemisphere and is thought to be one of the most famous and widely distributed images of Earth ever. Above-left, one of the most recent Blue Marble images was created by stitching together satellite imagery and reveals the Western Hemisphere in all its glory. The first pictures from space were not nearly as routine as the Blue Marbles are now.
Early Rocket Photos of Earth from Space: Long before we went to the moon, the first pictures of Earth from afar were beamed from the edge of space by rockets in the 1940s. On March 7, 1947, a rocket sent back these first pictures of Earth taken from higher than 100 miles above the surface — well into space.
Scientists and soldiers in New Mexico got the first look at these images, made by captured German V-2 rockets that were reconfigured to carry a camera (in place of the warhead) into space. Credit: Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory
First Photo of Earth from a Weather Satellite: Rockets gave way to orbiting satellites, and early satellite photos gave scientists their first useful looks at cloud systems from above, providing information on large storms that was of great value to meteorologists.
This first picture of Earth from a weather satellite was taken by the TIROS-1 satellite on April 1, 1960. The photo also made television history. Credit: NASA
First Photo of Earth from the Deep Space: Early satellite images only show parts of the planet. Not until NASA’s Lunar Orbiter 1 looked back over its shoulder and snapped the first picture of Earth from deep spacedid we gain the perspective of our world as an object in the cosmos. Earth is revealed as a crescent — sunlight only partly from the perspective of the spacecraft.
The first picture of Earth from deep space was taken by Lunar Orbiter 1 on Aug. 23, 1966. Earth is seen rising above the moon. The robotic orbiter was part of a NASA effort to map the lunar surface before sending astronauts. Unlike today’s digital photography, images were made on film, which was developed automatically onboard, much like how a Polaroid camera works, before being scanned, digitized and sent to Earth via radio signals.

First Picture of Earth and Moon in Single Frame: It was incredible to see Earth from deep space for the first time. It was yet another amazing experience to see both our world and its moon suspended in the black void together for the first time. That feat was accomplished by Voyager 1 on its way to the outer planets.
This NASA picture of the Earth and the moon in a single frame, the first of its kind ever taken by a spacecraft, was recorded Sept. 18, 1977, by Voyager 1 when it was 7.25 million miles (11.66 million kilometers) from Earth. The moon (top) is beyond the Earth as viewed by the space probe. Because the Earth much brighter than the moon, the moon was artificially brightened by a factor of three by computer enhancement so that both bodies would show clearly in the image. Credit: NASA
Earthrise: Imagine coming around the moon in a spaceship, looking out the window, and being the first humans to see your own planet rise. This iconic image of the Earth rising, popularly called the “Earthrise” picture, is the first of its kind taken by an astronaut from lunar orbit.
-
This view of the rising Earth greeted the Apollo 8 astronauts as they came from behind the moon after the lunar orbit insertion burn. The photo is displayed here in its original orientation, though it is more commonly viewed with the lunar surface at the bottom of the photo. Earth is about five degrees left of the horizon in the photo. The unnamed surface features on the left are near the eastern limb of the moon as viewed from Earth. The lunar horizon is approximately 780 kilometers from the spacecraft. The height of the photographed area at the lunar horizon is about 175 kilometers. Credit: NASA
Pale Blue Dot:Few images from space are as iconic as the Pale Blue Dot, taken by Voyager 1. Carl Sagan said of the image: "...a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly and compassionately with one another and to preserve and cherish this pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known."
The Pale Blue Dot image is a part of the first portrait ever made of our solar system from afar, taken by Voyager 1. Voyager acquired 60 frames for a mosaic of the solar system from more than 4 billion miles from Earth and about 32 degrees above the ecliptic — the plane in which most of the planets orbit. Earth is just below and right of center, smack in the middle of one of the scattered light rays resulting from taking the image so close to the sun. Credit: NASA
First Picture of Earth from Mars: Mars once held the collective human imagination like no other world, with visions of canals and little green men. So it was something special the first time we could take a photo of our world from the surface of the Red Planet. Earth is, once again, a mere dot seen from so far away.
This is the first image of Earth made from the surface another planet. It was taken by the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit on March 8, 2004, an hour before sunrise, with the surface of Mars in the foreground. The contrast was doubled to make Earth easier to see. Credit: NASA/JPL/Cornell/Texas A&M
Moon Shadow: Not every great photo of Earth is old, nor are they all black and white. And many, like this next one, are just downright surprising. When we experience a solar eclipse, the moon blocks out the sun. But from space, looking down on our planet, the event takes on an entirely different perspective. We see a strange blemish on our world — the shadow of the moon falling on the planet’s surface. This picture reveals why everyone on Earth is not able to see any given total solar eclipse — the shadow covers just part of the planet, and you have to be near the center of the shadow to experience the eclipse.
During a solar eclipse, the shadow of the moon moves across Earth’s surface at nearly 2,000 kilometers per hour as the eclipse unfolds. This picture of the Aug. 11, 1999, solar eclipse was one of the last ever taken from the Russian Mir space station. Credit: Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales via NASA
Moonrise from Earth Orbit: The horizon is tilted and seems far away. The moon appears to float on Earth’s atmosphere. It’s one of many incredible views that can come only from space, yet by name it’s totally familiar: a moonrise.
A quarter moon rises above Earth's horizon and above the airglow of our atmosphere. The image was made with a digital still camera on the final mission of the Space Shuttle Columbia. Columbia's crew was killed on Feb. 1, 2003, when the shuttle broke up on re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. Credit: NASA
Aurora from the International Space Station: Most people on Earth have never seen the aurora. Only a handful have been lucky enough to see it from space.
This view of the aurora, or Northern Lights, was taken by astronauts aboard the International Space Station in early 2012. It shows brilliant aurora displays dancing above Earth. Credit: NASA
Fresh Perspective: Looking down on Earth from space, at night, provides a perspective few have seen first-hand — a tiny, pale blue dot turned into a black orb laced with gold jewels.

You Are Where? If you could travel to Saturn and get just the right angle (and a proper exposure), here is what Earth would look like from the ringed planet.
NASA’s Cassini spacecraft snapped this view of Saturn's rings, with Earth way, way off in the distance, using a wide-angle lens on July 19, 2013. You’re looking at the dark side of Saturn, its bright limb, the main rings, plus the F, G and E rings. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute
Around the Moon:China launched its fourth mission to the moon in October 2014, sending a probe to loop around the moon and return to Earth. Along the way, the probe captured a classic view of our world over the moon’s shoulder.

Think of it as "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" — but for real.
The United States Air Force Space Command's ninth Schriever Wargame, which took place from Dec. 11 through Dec. 17 at Schriever Air Force Base in Colorado, might not have had all the silver screen hoopla of the Galactic Empire, Jedi Knights and other components of the "Star Wars" universe, but there were some familiar themes.
The Wargame, which was set in the year 2025, explored critical space issues, from spacecraft jamming to cyber warfare attacks on ground-to-space control infrastructure to the use of anti-satellite and directed-energy weaponry. [The Most Dangers Space Weapons Concepts]
The goal was to sharpen the skills of space warfighters, and to figure out ways to deal with, as well as de-escalate, the prospect of space conflict in the future, Air Force officials said.
Protect the space enterprise
About 200 military and civilian experts from more than 27 U.S. government agencies (including NASA), as well as from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, took part in the Wargame.
The objectives of the simulation centered on:
Identifying ways to increase resilience of space capabilities that includes the intelligence community, civil, commercial and allied partners;
Exploring how to optimize warfighter performance in support of coalition operations; and
Examining how to apply future capabilities to protect the space enterprise in a multidomain conflict.
"This is the 15th anniversary of the Wargames," said Executive Wargame Director Jason Altchek. The first game was played in late 2000 into early 2001, he said.
The game has gone from a biannual $2.2 million event to an annual exercise, Altchek said — a unique affair given its strict focus on space and cyberspace warfare.
"Having the allies as participants in the game has really been a big plus," Altchek told Space.com. "As a group we can accomplish a lot more than as a singular organization. That's one of the big highlights … solving some of these space and cyberspace issues."

This year's scenario envisioned a competitor nation seeking to achieve strategic goals by exploiting the space and cyberspace domains. The futuristic scenario included full-spectrum threats across diverse operating environments that challenged civilian and military leaders, planners and space system operators, as well as the capabilities they employ.
"We learned a lot of things … we can't go into those because they might get classified," said Col. Michael Angle, Chief of Training at the Weapons and Tactics Division at Air Force Space Command headquarters.
Altchek said the lessons learned during war gaming are invaluable.
"War games are played in the future. They are not exercises which are played in the here and now," Altchek said. "We look into the future so we have the opportunity to guide it slightly different in a better fashion."
Backcasting the future
How difficult is it to project out to the year 2025, in terms of the scenarios and technologies that a hostile entity could use in space?
Altchek said that the war-gaming community uses a technique called "backcasting," which relies on rigorous analyses to determine technological feasibility.

"We do that so we don't fairy dust or 'Buck Rogers' things … that's another way to say it," Altchek said. "Backcasting is the way we try to avoid any of the non- or unbelievable products that would come out in that time."
Angle told Space.com: "What we're trying to do in space is to understand the threats that are out there … understand the environment that we work in, and get all that information to the decision-makers so in a hostile environment they know what's what."
Secretary of the Air Force Deborah James was debriefed about results of the ninth Schriever Wargame shortly after the exercise's completion, officials said.
Schriever Air Force Base is named in honor of retired Gen. Bernard A. Schriever, who is recognized as the father of the Air Force's space and missile program. Schriever passed away on June 20, 2005.

Where is Planet X aka Nibiru? The Eternal and futile search for the elusive planet
Where is Planet X aka Nibiru? The Eternal and futile search for the elusive planet
The search for this enigmatic celestial body started almost a century ago, and until today researchers have still to present evidence of the discovery of Nibiru or Planet X, one of the most enigmatic celestial objects said to ‘partially’ reside within our solar system.
Although it was claimed that the planet was actually discovered in 1930, researchers still believe that the mysterious planet could be somewhere out there, still waiting to be discovered.
For decades, an open debate remains among astronomers about the existence of Planet X, a large celestial body that supposedly orbits the outer edge of our solar system, but so far not a single celestial body that fits the descriptions of Planet X has been found.
Despite the absence of irrefutable evidence that would prove the existence of said planet, the search for the enigmatic celestial body ahs lasted for decades and researchers around the world hope that one day, the mysterious planet will rise from the shadows and prove to be more than a modern myth.
The everlasting search for Nibiru, aka Planet X
In 1846, French astronomer Urbain LeVerrier observed unexplained perturbations in the orbit of Uranus which turned out to be due to the gravitational effect of another planet. That’s when, thanks to LeVerrier, a new planet in our solar system was found, and that planet is Neptune. After a few years, similar disturbances were detected in the orbit of Neptune, and researchers thought that these perturbances could also be caused by the orbit of another planet. Planet X was the term first introduced by Percival Lowell, a US millionaire and space enthusiast, who died without finding the alleged planet. However, in 1930, Clyde William Tombaugh spotted a celestial object that he believed explained the perturbations in the orbit of Neptune, this is when he discovered Pluto.
In 2008, Japanese researchers announced that according to their calculations, there should be an “undiscovered” planet at a distance of about 100 AU (astronomical units) that has a size of up to two-thirds of the planet Earth. These calculations support the hypothesis of the existence of Nibiru, or Planet X.
News agencies around the world were very interested in the mysterious celestial body said to stalk the outer frontiers of our solar system. According to the Washington Post: “A heavenly body possibly as large as the giant planet Jupiter and possibly so close to Earth that it would be part of this solar system has been found in the direction of the constellation Orion by an orbiting telescope aboard the U.S. infrared astronomical satellite… ‘All I can tell you is that we don’t know what it is,’ said Gerry Neugebauer, chief IRAS scientist.”
But the Washington Post wasn’t the only news agencies to write about the enigmatic celestial body.
According to the US News World Report, Planet X or Nibiru exists, the article; “Shrouded from the sun’s light, mysteriously tugging at the orbits of Uranus and Neptune, is an unseen force that astronomers suspect may be Planet X – a 10th resident of the Earth’s celestial neighborhood. Last year, the infrared astronomical satellite (IRAS), circling in a polar orbit 560 miles from the Earth, detected heat from an object about 50 billion miles away that is now the subject of intense speculation.”
Also, an article published in Newsweek on July 13, 1987, NASA disclosed that there may be a 10th planet orbiting our Sun. According to NASA research scientist John Anderson, Planet X might actually be out there, but nowhere near our planets. The article from Newsweek states: “if he is right, two of the most intriguing puzzles of space science might be solved: what caused mysterious irregularities in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune during the 19th Century? And what killed off the dinosaurs 26 million years ago.”
Interestingly, Robert Sutton Harrington who was an American astronomer who worked at the United States Naval Observatory (USNO). wrote a very interesting article in the Astronomical Journal in 1988. Harrington suggested that a planet three or four times the size of Earth existed, having a position of three or four-time further from the sun than Pluto. According to mathematical models that were presented, it is believed that Planet X or Nibiru, has an extreme elliptical orbit of 30 degrees.
Harrington became a believer in the existence of a Planet X beyond Pluto and undertook searches for it, with positive results coming from the IRAD probe in 1983.
Nevertheless, the search for Planet X continued to rise to all sorts of theories, many of which are part of pseudoscience. Many believe that planet X is in fact Nibiru, planet of the Extraterrestrial race called the Anunnaki, who came to Earth in the distant past and kick-started civilization as we know.
Ancient Astronaut theorists believe that te orbit of Nibiru around the sun is believed to be extremely elliptical, and according to text, it is located far beyond the orbit of Pluto. Bribe takes around 3600 years to complete one orbit around the Sun. Nibiru is believed to be the home planet of the Anunnaki. The approach of Nibiru towards the planets of our solar system might pose a huge threat given its gravitational characteristics. According to the ancient cuneiform texts, which are believed to be some of the oldest writings known to date, go back at least 6,000 years. These writings explain the history of a race of beings called the Anunnaki. The Anunnaki came to Earth from a planet in our solar system which is called Nibiru. Sadly, many people have never heard of it, because according to mainstream science the planet called Nibiru does not exist. However, according to Sitchin, the presence of Nibiru is very important for the past and future of humanity.
According to a theory referred to as the ‘Nemesis hypothesis’, the supposed planet, which lies beyond the orbit of Pluto and its moons, is, in fact, a dark star orbiting the Oort cloud, which would basically turn our Star into a binary system, that is, if the mysterious celestial object does exist. This theory has been ruled out by numerous Astronomers and referred to as impossible.
According to John Matese, Patrick Whitman and Daniel Whitmire of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, the celestial body located in the Solar System’s Oort cloud is, in fact, a hypothetical gas giant. However, in 2014, NASA announced that the WISE survey had ruled out any object with Tyche’s characteristics, indicating that Tyche as hypothesized by Matese, Whitman, and Whitmire does not exist.
The next President of the United States of America is going to be Hillary Clinton. She is the "chosen one", I have no doubt. They've had a black man and now they're
going to play the political correctness card again by having a woman. Two days before New Year I uploaded the last instalment in my HPANWO TV film series UFO Disclosure 2015, in which I discussed a letter written to her by Stephen Bassett, see:
Steve urges Hillary to do what her predecessors have failed to do and become the Disclosure President. He says to her: "Madam Secretary... what the American people need is less legacy and more truth. The people have lost patience with 'in loco parentis' government that treats them like children and candidates with long lists of issues they can't discuss because it is not convenient to their campaign or the people 'can't handle the truth.' Because you have been introduced to these matters within the context of the White House (through the Rockefeller Initiative), because you aspire to the highest office in the nation, you have an extraordinary opportunity and primary obligation to address what is easily the most profound issue of our time..." At the time I uploaded the video, Hillary Clinton had made no response to him; but now she has, albeit indirectly. Perhaps it was the influence of her campaign manager John Podesta, who is very open to the ideas of UFO's and whom Steve has advised us to "Google his name regularly!",
The weekend after New Years Day while speaking at a public meeting inNew Hampshire, she told a reporter, Daymond Steer, that she will get to the bottom of the UFO phenomenon. As long ago as 2007, Hillary had confirmed that her husband President Bill Clinton received more Freedom-of-Information Act requests related to UFO's than any other subject. Nick Pope has confirmed that the same happened at the UK Ministry of Defence. Master Clinton has also made several cryptic references to UFO's in his interviews and public speeches. He responded to a letter from a thirteen year old boy from Belfast, Northern Ireland called Ryan who asked him about the Roswell Incident,
It's possible he's not as ignorant as he pleads. Hillary's own interview on the Jimmy Kimmel Showconsisted mostly of tiresome feminist jokes and she never uttered a peep about UFO's,
Yet just a few days later she is saying she's going to "get to the bottom" of the matter? She also pledges that if she gets elected in November she will "look into Area 51". Apparently Bill did that too and found no aliens there, but I doubt they had them on display for him to see. What's interesting about the language Hillary uses is that she also talks about assembling a "task force" to enter Area 51. Was she serious or joking?... Or maybe she was half joking. The old man known as "Agent Kewper" said during his deathbed confession that President Eisenhower had a similar plan, see:
This indicates something I've addressed before about a comment made by the lawyer who represented Robert Frost and his colleagues, a class action lawsuit by some men who had served at Area 51 and become ill as a result: "I don't know (if there are aliens at Area 51), my client never saw any; but it wouldn't surprise me. You must realize that place is a legal black hole. It operates above Congressional oversight, above executive oversight; hell, even the US President himself cannot enter it without permission. One is forced to consider whether it is even part of the United States at all, and might instead be an enclave of some kind of 'super-government'." These are astounding words, but they are potentially accurate. My friend and fellow researcher Gary Heseltine, the editor of UFO Truth Magazine,
has commented to the Daily Mirror: "I am well aware of the Rockefeller initiative and that both the Clintons were heavily involved in it. It was inevitable that Hillary Clinton would be asked questions about her links to it and I am pleased that she has responded to them. She cannot run away from those links so she really has to embrace it in order to remain credible. It will be interesting to see how much of a political issue it will become in her presidential campaign.",
It most certainly will be. Interestingly, at the bottom of the above news article there is a readers' poll which asks: "Is there a UFO cover-up?" Over five hundred people have voted and the figures are an encouraging YES- 83% No- 17%.

Another Interesting Leak: A Second NASA Scientist Tells Us That ‘Somebody Else’ Is On The Moon
Another Interesting Leak: A Second NASA Scientist Tells Us That ‘Somebody Else’ Is On The Moon
We live in a strange world, and as Neil Armstrong once said, there are “great ideas undiscovered, breakthroughs available to those who can remove one of the truth’s protective layers.” (source) (source)
Fast forward to today, and a number of people have become aware of the fact that not all of what goes on behind the scenes is made public. This is precisely why the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) was created; it’s a federal freedom of information law that allows for the full or partial disclosure of previously unreleased information and documents controlled by the United States government.
There are still many obstacles in the way of full transparency, one of which is the use of ‘national security’ to keep information classified and hidden from public viewing. This has become more evident with the revelations of WikiLeaks and Edward Snowden, but the problem goes deeper still. Did you know that the U.S government classifies roughly five hundred million pages of documents every single year? This is a completely separate topic in itself and if you’re interested in learning more about this, you can check out our article about the ‘Black Budget.’
NASA Scientists & What They Say About The Moon
Multiple NASA personnel have made some pretty shocking claims about the Moon. George Leonard, a NASA scientist and photo analyst who obtained various official NASA photographs of the Moon, many of which he published in his book titled Somebody Else Is On The Moon, is just one of these personnel.
Although the photos are small in size and their resolution is not up to today’s standards, they show details of original prints which were huge. While Leonard published the identifying code numbers of the photos in his works to back up their source, we still can’t say for sure that they were real, and their poor resolution only makes matters worse. Far more compelling than these photos are his statements about what was found on the Moon, along with his verified NASA credentials. Leonard was not the only one with a credible background trying to tell the world the truth regarding the Moon and the photos that were taken from the Apollo missions.
“Ladies and gentlemen, my government, NASA, which many of us in the United States say stands for Never A Straight Answer, proceeded to erase 40 rolls of film of the Apollo Program — the flight to the Moon, the flight around the Moon, the landings on the Moon, the walking guys here and there. They erased, for Christ’s sake, 40 rolls of film of those events. Now we’re talking about several thousand individual frames that were taken that the so-called authorities determined that you did not have a right to see. Oh, they were ‘disruptive,’ ‘socially unacceptable,’ ‘politically unacceptable.’ I’ve become furious. I’m a retired Command Sergeant Major. I was never famous for having a lot of patience.” (source)
The quote above is from Bob Dean, who was speaking at a conference in Europe. Bob is a retired US Army Command Sargent Major, and he also served at the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) of NATO as an intelligence analyst.
When it comes to the UFO phenomenon, we now have public disclosure of thousands of documents along with hundreds of credible witness testimonies. But that is a separate topic, which you can learn more about here.
It’s also important to note here that the Russian government recently called for an international investigation into the U.S. moon landings regarding the disappearance of film footage from the original moon landing in 1969. They are also referring to the (approximately) 400 kilograms of lunar rock that was obtained during multiple missions between 1969 and 1972. (source)
Leonard argued that NASA knew about extraterrestrial activity on the Moon and attempted to hide that information. He’s not the only one to make such an assertion.
“Read the books, read the lore, start to understand what has really been going on, because there is no doubt that we are being visited. . . . The universe that we live in is much more wondrous, exciting, complex and far reaching than we were ever able to know up to this point in time. . . . [Mankind has long wondered if we’re] alone in the universe. [But] only in our period do we really have evidence. No, we’re not alone.” – Dr. Edgar Mitchell, ScD., NASA astronaut (6th man to walk on the moon)
Here is a clip of NASA astronaut Dr. Brian O’Leary saying the same thing.
Leonard is not the only NASA scientist to say some strange things about the Moon. Recently, a plasma scientist by the name of Dr. John Brandenburg said the same thing. He was the Deputy Manager of the Clementine Mission to the Moon, which was part of a joint space project between the Ballistic Missile Defence Organization (BMDO) and NASA. The mission discovered water at the Moon’s poles in 1994. (Source: page 16 of 18)(source)(source)
It was (the Clementine Mission) a photo reconnaissance mission basically to check out ifsomeone was building bases on the moon that we didn’t know about. Were they expanding them?
He then went on to state that:
Of all the pictures I’ve seen from the moon that show possible structures, the most impressive is a picture of a miles wide recto-linear structure. This looked unmistakably artificial, and it shouldn’t be there. As somebody in the space defence community, I look on any such structure on the moon with great concern because it isn’t ours, there’s no way we could have built such a thing. It means someone else is up there.
If you were to tell the average person that you think another civilization, advanced enough to have mastered space travel, had been to the Moon before we got there and is possibly still going there, you would, without a doubt, receive some very peculiar looks in return. On the other hand, if that other person were to decide to hear you out, you would probably get their attention pretty quickly. For some, this type of information can be overwhelming, even terrifying, and that’s okay. Many people are not ready to open their minds up to these possibilities, but the truth of the matter is, it’s something we are going to have to confront eventually. We are clearly heading towards the inevitable reality of extraterrestrial contact — that is, if we smarten up and start taking care of our planet to the best of our ability. Perhaps we can make it long enough to realize this future, or maybe it’s coming sooner than we think.
That being said, there is a good deal of evidence to suggest that extraterrestrial contact is already happening, and if you’re interested in learning more about that you can visit the exopolitics section of our website, located HERE.
Indian Spacecraft Captures Its First Photos of Mars
Indian Spacecraft Captures Its First Photos of Mars

India's first Mars probe has captured its first photos, revealing an early glimpse of the surface and atmosphere of the Red Planet.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) unveiled the first photos of Mars from its Mangalyaan spacecraft via Facebook and Twitter on Wednesday and Thursday (Sept. 24-25), just a day or so after the probe made it to the Red Planet.
"The view is nice up here," ISRO officials tweeted about one of the images, which shows a heavily cratered portion of the Red Planet's surface.
Another photo depicts the curving, orange-brown limb of Mars against the blackness of space.
"A shot of Martian atmosphere. I'm getting better at it. No pressure," ISRO officials tweeted about that one.
Mangalyaan, whose name means "Mars craft" in Sanskrit, arrived at the Red Planet on Tuesday night (Sept. 23), making India's space agency just the fourth entity — after the United States, the Soviet Union and the European Space Agency — to successfully place a probe in orbit around Mars.
Mangalyaan is the centerpiece of India's $74 million Mars Orbiter Mission(MOM), which ISRO officials have described as primarily a technology demonstration. The spacecraft carries a camera and four scientific instruments that it will use to study the Martian surface and atmosphere during the course of a mission expected to last six to 10 months.

MOM reached Mars close on the heels of NASA's MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution) probe, which was captured by the Red Planet's gravity on Sunday (Sept. 21). The $671 million MAVEN mission aims to help scientists determine what happened to Mars' atmosphere, which was once relatively thick but is now just 1 percent as dense as that of Earth.
MAVEN has also taken its first images of Mars from orbit; NASA released a few false-color views of the planet's atmosphere on Wednesday.
Mars orbit now hosts five operational spacecraft; NASA's Mars Odyssey probe and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, as well as Europe's Mars Express craft, share space with MAVEN and Mangalyaan. And two rovers (NASA's Opportunity and Curiosity) are actively exploriong the planet's surface.

UFO's in 2015: hier zag u ze vorig jaar vliegen - HLN.be
IN KAART Het Belgisch UFO-meldpunt, dat de waarnemingen van merkwaardige verschijnselen in de lucht onderzoekt, heeft afgelopen jaar weer meer meldingen gekregen dan een jaar eerder. Dat blijkt uit het jaarverslag van de organisatie.
September was een piekmoment voor het meldpunt. Na de media-aandacht voor het object dat in augustus in De Pinte werd opgemerkt, steeg het aantal meldingen in de volgende maand enorm.
De meeste meldingen van 2015 concentreren zich in de provincie Oost-Vlaanderen (68 waarnemingen), gevolgd door Antwerpen (39).
Maan zorgt voor verwarring Vaak rapporteren getuigen verkeerdelijk de maan, insecten of vogels als een UFO aan het meldpunt. Op de Liersesteenweg in Mortsel werd zo een object gesignaleerd. Uiteindelijk beek het om een mot te gaan.
Het UFO-meldpunt zegt dat er opvallend veel waarnemingen waren die verklaard konden worden door een astronomisch verschijnsel. "Naar aloude gewoonte zorgden Venus (al dan niet in conjunctie met Jupiter) als Sirius (de helderste ster aan de hemel, nvdr) en de maan voor veel verwarring", klinkt het.
De meerderheid van de waarnemingen kan het meldpunt echt niet ophelderen omdat er te weinig gegevens beschikbaar zijn.

Disc-Shaped Craft 'Escorted' a Police Car in Poland
Disc-Shaped Craft 'Escorted' a Police Car in Poland
By Piotr Cielebiaś The UFO Chronicles 1-3-16
In early January 2013 a pair of police officers from Opole region spotted strange, morphing aerial light that, as it turned out, emanated from luminous disc-shaped object. Exotic craft accompanied their car all the way back to the station. Frightened and disoriented officers reported close encounter to their principals but soon learned that “they must be exhausted and hallucinating”. Polish policemen rarely report their UFO encounters but when they do, their reports are astonishing ones.
On January 8th a pair of Police officers from Opole region (southwestern Poland) was returning from a night intervention. Their task was to calm down an aggressive drunkard in one of the villages lost amongst forested farmlands. When the job was done, they began to head back to their station located dozen kilometers away. It was about 4 am when their Kia Ceed was calmly running lone road. All of a sudden they noticed some bright lights in the distance that hovered over nearby forest. This prologue may sound prosaic but the rest of the story is much more extraordinary… and complicated.
Principals became concerned
Both witnesses serve in regional police station in one of the cities in Opole area. The main witness, Mr. M., requested anonymity fearing that his openness toward strange incident might influence his career. His concerns weren’t baseless. When on January 8th both witnesses arrived on their home station, they were immediately interrogated about such a long time of their intervention. It turned out that the way back took them about two hours. Stunned by the strange occurrence, without hesitation they reported the encounter with strange aerial device to the staff officer. This honest step induced some strange behavior of their principals.
Mr. M. remembers that after arriving to the station his patrol partner, Mrs. J., felt dizzy. Though he was all right he could remind that just after the appearance of the strange craft his organism also reacted in a strange way. For a moment his sight became blurry. It was about 4 am when along with Mrs. J. he noticed some light in the sky. At first they took it for mobile tower but the luminous object was apparently approaching their car. Soon it stationed over a groove of trees located about a kilometer from the road. Orange-yellowish “thing” was morphing and changing colors.
Mr. M. said that the arrival of UFO fulfilled his partner words. Just several minutes before seeing the light the woman had told him that “something is in the air”. Mrs. J. was anxious-excited: “She had repeated this sentence several times before the light appeared” - the policeman recounts. “When the object appeared in the horizon, we decided to stop and go out of the car to examine it. From the distance it looked like a ball and then changed shape into crescent-like.” He added that just a while before he could feel as if time slowed for a moment. But it was a matter of seconds. During the next stage of the encounter Mrs. M. and his partner were totally conscious.
Dropping orbs and the video
The officers stopped and watched the light maneuvering over a nearby field. The sight was strange: “It was moving soundlessly, with no noise that should be generated by engine or rotor of the flying machine. At some point the object began ejecting something resembling ‘balls of light’. Some were disappearing in their way down to the ground, other were returning to the UFO. Suddenly from the below of the craft there emanated a ‘flash’ resembling that of a stroboscope” - the witness said adding that for a second a patch of land was illuminated.
According to Mr. M. it was possible to distinguish the shape of the craft hull. But darkness, strange feelings and appearance of exotic object forced the witnesses to drove off the scene. To their amazement, after a while UFO began to move in parallel with their car, staying in the constant distance of about a kilometer. Despite strong concerns and unnatural fear, Mr. M. stopped the car in the next village trying to record the object with his cell phone camera.
“The UFO was in shape of a disc, with a kind of small ‘dome’ on the top. It was emitting blinding, yellow light (occasionally turning orange). At the bottom, three smaller white-bluish ‘balls’ could be seen. In my opinion they were ‘engines’ but there were no sounds at all” - the witness reported.
It was 4:32 am when Mr. M. took a short video showing a dim light in the distance. It’s the only one visual documentation of the incident. Strongly agitated Mrs. J. tried frantically to catch the disc with her phone camera but nothing interesting appears on her photos. Accomplished evidences seem not satisfying for such a spectacular case and Mr. M. is aware of this fact: “That situation was totally unexpected and we weren’t prepared for UFO encounter. I wish I could go closer to that object. It is clear to me now, when all the emotions ceased.”
The UFO recording of Mr. M. was made public but in muted version due to witnesses’ request. In the original material we can hear excited voiced of both officers commenting the “UFO” appearance. They also tried to open the car window to check whether the object emits any noticeable sounds but only dog barking could be hear in the distance. In the video Mr. M. stresses that the quality of the recording is weak. Registered material reveals only a bright lump of light hovering in the distance, against the dark sky background. On some still frames one can see an outline of an elongated, bright object.
Time confusion
Mr. M. said that during the incident he thought about noticing the staff officer as well other patrol cars about the strange object. “After short discussion with my partner we decided to stay calm. Too many units could hear our report so everyone can imagine the consequences… People are rather skeptical and we don’t want more problems” - he added. It was another instance of tabooing UFO encounters made by staff of emergency services, Police and Polish Army. Mr. M. is a very rare case of public servant who decided to reveal his experiences, despite his concern about the consequences. Therefore we decided not to reveal his name and the exact place of the sighting in case report.
It’s also interesting that Mr. M. claims that during three stops when the witnesses decided to inspect the object closer, the UFO seemed to withdraw deeper over the fields. In his opinion the object hovered about 60 meters over the ground but exact size of the craft was hard to estimate. Mr. M. said it was at least dozen of meters in length but it was hard to find any reference points. In the whole affair there is another one mystery. The witness stated that they observed the craft for about 90 minutes but it seemed too long comparing with the time necessary for them to pass the distance to their home station.
Mr. M. added that he also was somewhat confused realizing that the incident lasted for about two hours. This shortening of time might be a result of highly stressing situation or the curious onlookers might get lost in their observation. Another possible scenario is that the driver became disoriented and chose a wrong way; causing the patrol car to wander along some deserted village roads (Mr. M. stated that this may be the point). But it’s also tempting to propound another hypothesis that links the mentioned “time confusion” with Mrs. J.’s dizziness after the encounter. Anyway, for now there are no direct clues for the policemen involvement in “missing time” episode.
“You’re dog-tired!”
The patrol lost UFO from view in vicinity of K. village. According to Mr. M.’s report, the disc withdrew over nearby fields and then disappeared over the horizon. About 6 am, when both policemen returned to their station, they decided to report their experience to principals but as Mr. M. said, the duty officer at first burst with laugh and then neglected their story: “He said that I’m dog-tired and hallucinating. The same was with other high officers. They tried to persuade us that we saw balloons or birds…”
Nevertheless, the strange report about exotic “thing” probably induced some concern amongst higher officials since Mr. M. was informed that chief officer needs to talk with him. But after some time the case was hushed up as if nothing had happened on January 8th! Moreover, the personal situation of the female witness, Mr. J., whose husband worked in the same station, prompted her to keep silence over the incident. But what’s interesting, after some gossips about UFO encounter dissipated, Mr. M. was contacted with other officers who also saw strange things on their night duties.
Mr. M. stated that on January 8th he didn’t meet on the deserted village road with any other cars. But it’s quite possible that some inhabitants of the region (as farmers waking up early to tend their animals or people on their way to work) might also catch a glimpse of the strange aerial device. But six moths after the incident we still have no confirming reports (although the case was covered by big local newspaper in Opole region). We are well aware that the case might remain unsolved but it’s good to know that officers as Mr. M. are always on alert in reporting every suspected thing, even that with no right to existence according to his principals opinion.
Addendum: Polish Policemen see UFOs
Polish national media and web portals usually don’t report UFO incidents although it is a very popular topic. UFO reports from Polish police officers are also rarity but the case from Opole region showed that many other encounters may be not disclosed due to witnesses’ fear of ridicule. But the real cause of tabooing UFO reports amongst policemen is that there is no official procedure concerning unidentified objects and phenomena. In other words, an ordinary officer who sees UFO doesn’t know how to react.
Mr. M. said that he talk with some colleagues who also got unusual experiences. One of them wrote us a report concerning his UFO sighting in vicinity of Otmuchowskie Lake in 2008. He recounts: “At about 2 am, over Sarnowice, I saw a row of about 15 red lights. Along with my partner I decided to hide our car in darker spot [for the object not to see us]. But then some of the lights went off and other ones change their positions and began to move away in various directions.”
Another one interesting story from Police officer was reported to us several years ago. It also took place in Opole region, precisely in Daniec area. The witness, Mr. Z., wrote: “Unfortunately, I don’t remember the exact date. It was June or July 1997. From the duty officer we got a call that some drunken man was sticking people with an axe in a village in Opole area. It was an emergency, so we rushed with the siren going.”
Mr. Z. reported that just before their destination place, his partner heard a call of nature so they stopped the car on the side of the road: “I also went out to straighten my neck. Suddenly I saw those objects and in the same moment my colleague screamed: ‘UFO!” I saw two bright orbs flying in the air 300 meters away from the car. They weren’t discotheque lights or lanterns. They were flying with high speed, stopping, accelerating and making sharp turns. We stood there in awe! I was glad I wasn’t there alone. During the sighting one of the orbs neared us and stayed dozen of meters away. The other one remained over the field and then - as for command - both of them departed in just a second. I know that they were intelligent.”
Earlier but equally spectacular report comes from Mr. Jerzy M. - former officer of Citizens Militia (state police institution in Poland before 1989): “It was winter 1978 but the exact date got lost in my mind. It was about 2 am. […] I was patrolling area between Ornontowice and Chudów checking if the stores were properly shut down. I was in way from Ornontowice to Chudów. The night was beautiful, with no clouds in the sky. Temperature oscillated around -5 degrees. […] I was standing on the roadside when my attention was drawn to my dog strange behavior. […] Automatically I looked up hearing also some unfamiliar sound. Then I perceived something completely out-of-place.”
The officer reported that he saw a black, oblong object with some “windows”. He also got feeling that someone is staring at him: “It wasn’t a plane. It looked like a hull of An-22 but without wings. There were no sounds at all, despite slight ‘whirring’. […] Then I saw it against the sky background, from different perspective. The object looked like a dark ring. Afraid that it could be a damaged plane that is going to crash, I rushed to local bakery to phone to the duty officer from Gierałtowice.”
As in other cases, the witness soon learned from his chief that he must be kidding: “After returning Gierałtowice police station, I even phoned the night guard at Gliwice airport asking if there were any night landings scheduled. But he also scoffed me saying that I must be drunk!”

UFOS: THE STIFF REALITY OF A FLEXIBLE PHENOMENON
UFOS: THE STIFF REALITY OF A FLEXIBLE PHENOMENON
by: Ryan Spragu
When facing the UFO phenomenon head on, the most problematic question one may ask is actually the most simple: Are UFOs real?
The answer is yes. The answer is always yes. In fact, it’s literally right there in the letters; UFO. It is, in essence, an object in flight that is unidentified. Perhaps the most common place definition comes from the late astronomer, J. Allen Hynek. In his book, The UFO Experience: A Scientific Inquiry, Hynek dryly, yet appropriately describes a UFO as being:
“… the reported perception of an object or light seen in the sky or upon the land. The appearance, trajectory, and general dynamic and luminescent behavior of which do not suggest a logical, conventional explanation and which is not only mystifying to the original percipients but remains unidentified after close scrutiny of all available evidence by persons who are technically capable of making a common sense identification, if one is possible.”
( J. Allen Hynek)
It doesn’t get much more self-explanatory than that. But where did this painfully obvious term stem from? And why, throughout the past sixty years or so, has it become not so obvious? The acronym was coined by Captain Edward Ruppelt, who in 1953, led the official investigation into aerial phenomena through the channels of the U.S. Air Force. To further the public from any notion that these objects were extraterrestrial, Ruppelt , serving as a catch-all for the mysterious objects appearing, flying, and sometimes floating through the skies. The acronym stuck, remaining the go-to letters for almost every media outlet known to man.
(Edward J. Ruppelt)
Thousands and thousands of declassified documents by intelligence agencies around the world can be found in reference to UFOs. These documents boast reports from the simply mundane misidentifications and natural phenomena, to the most intriguing and perplexing, begging more questions on just exactly what these UFOs are and are not. Here, in the United States, we left it up to the military to investigate what could potentially be a threat to our own safety on the hard ground below and the cushioned security of our skies above. Let’s take a look at how it all began.
The Official Study of the Phenomenon Begins… and Ends
The U.S. Air Force first attempted to decipher the enigmatic code behind these aerial phenomena back in 1947 with Project Sign. As the project’s personnel compiled case after case of sightings, they argued that what they seemed to be dealing with was in fact something of extraterrestrial intelligence. However, this notion was quickly swept under the rug, and replaced in 1949 by Project Grudge. Headed by aeronautical engineer, Edward J Ruppelt, Project Grudge was in essence, a continuation of looking into these phenomena with a much more objective eye, dismantling the possibility that UFO activity was caused by anything but natural and/or manmade anomalies and intervention.
The study of UFOs continued in its final iteration, Project Blue Book, in 1952. This was the longest, and most well publicized Air Force study, compiling over 12,000 reports of sightings in the western world alone. Project Blue Book continued until 1968, when the Air Force-funded Condon Committee was created to draft a final report on their findings. Physicist, Edward U. Condon, and an investigative group out of the University of Colorado, used files from Project Blue Book and several independent UFO research organizations to determine that, first and foremost, UFOs caused no threat to national security. They also concluded that there was absolutely no scientific evidence proving that UFOs were extraterrestrial in origin. And with that, the official American study of the phenomenon came to a whimpering end. But that didn’t stop certain members of these projects from looking further into the phenomenon and case reports.
Civilian Research Organizations
Many individuals within the government sphere were involved in the study of UFOs. Most notably of these individuals was none other than the aforementioned J. Allen Hynek. Hynek, having been a lead investigator all throughout Project Grudge and Project Blue Book, was first hired to explain away each and every UFO report as natural or manmade phenomena. But after seeing Blue Book out until the very end, he simply couldn’t accept that that was a conventional explanation for every sighting or incident. His skeptical view slowly tilted to a more open-minded approach, favoring the idea that some of the UFOs being seen could in fact be of an extraterrestrial or non-human intelligence. And in 1973, he would found the Chicago-based Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS). This organization consisted of many credible scientists and researchers who evaluated UFO reports in a careful and thorough way. To this day, a large archive of the work done by Hynek and CUFOS can be found through various online outlets and through the publication of Hynek’s definitive book, The UFO Experience: A Scientific Inquiry.
While many other organizations came and went, perhaps the most visible and well known would have to be the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). Originally founded by Walt Andrus, a technology manager and educator, and John Schuessler, a retired aerospace engineer, the two would invite many of their colleagues to join the organization, such as notable nuclear physicist, Stanton Friedman and optical physicist, Dr. Bruce Maccabee. Using their technical and analytical skills in many different arenas throughout the years, MUFON now boasts chapters in every single state, investigating cases of aerial phenomena, close encounters, and in its most modern iteration, even supposed alien abduction cases. Investigators bring their reports and data to the state directors who then follow up on many of the cases with an objective and critical approach. MUFON remains active today, hosting several large conferences throughout the year and an annual journal of case reports.
Unlike the investigative organizations above, there is another ambitious undertaking that consists of compilation of UFO reports by the public. The National UFO Reporting Center, (NUFORC) founded in 1974 by Robert J. Gribble, the center has catalogued a staggering 90,000 reports in its history. Aside from its cataloguing endeavors, the center also provides regional statistics to assist specific geographical needs of those who seek information about local sightings and reports. The center remains active as this book is being published, having been taken over in 1994 by Peter Davenport, a former MUFON member, and professor of genetics and biochemistry. Davenport sing-handily runs the center from his home, and updates case reports on a weekly basis.

While many other civilian organizations have come and gone, the challenge for each seemed to be that of funding. Each organization held highly esteemed scientists and every facet, yet very little money had ever been set into place to provide any substantial sustainability. This is something the scientific community, UFOs aside, have always wrestled with. How does one fund their research when theory is their only means in which to progress? Perhaps this may be why scientific study into the UFO phenomenon lay deep on the fringe, splintering off into the above organizations in all their ambitious efforts. Perhaps by looking closer at the relationship between mainstream science and the UFO phenomenon, we can begin to narrow in on the phenomenon’s deeply embedded, and often ridiculed reputation.
Mainstream Science and UFOs
After the sobering determination made by the Condon Committee’s report, all hope of a possible intelligent extraterrestrial presence seemed to dissipate. But a small shred of debate by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) cracked open the possibility that the scientific community wasn’t completely against the notion of a possible alien phenomenon. In response to the Condon Report, the AIAA noted that at least thirty percent of cases studied remained unexplained by conventional and natural science, and that scientific benefit could still be gained by further study of the phenomenon.
Michael Shermer, publisher of Skeptic Magazine and contributor to Scientific American, once stated that:
“In all fields of science there is a residue of anomalies unexplained by the dominant theory. That does not mean the prevailing theory is wrong or that alternative theories are right. It just means that more work needs to be done to bring those anomalies into the accepted paradigm. In the meantime, it is okay to live with the uncertainty that not everything has an explanation.”
While Shermer accepts living in this uncertainty, many scientists keep the current paradigm in a stagnant purgatory, not only by ignoring the UFO phenomenon entirely, but refusing to even acknowledge the potential of such technologies and how they could ultimately benefit both science and on a greater scale, humanity. But the dark cloud looking above has always been that of pure ridicule, a festering specter whispering in the collective scientific ear that UFOs are simply bunk, and not worth the time, talents, or intelligence of some of the greatest thinkers in history. In a field where thought reigns supreme, and reputations hang on the threads of governmental influence, far-out theories on exotic aircraft of potentially non-human intelligence could completely overshadow even the most influential of scientists and the contributions they have made to their respective fields. But there are those who are willing to put their thoughts in the face of ridicule and speak publicly about such fringe topics, and are willing to call others out for their woeful ignorance to the topic in general.
Of those who reject it right out, “They’re wrong, naive, stubborn, narrow-minded, afraid and fearful,” says Eric Davis, an American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics award winning- propulsion physicist at the Institute of Advanced Studies. In an interview with Lee Spiegel of the Huffington Post, Davis would elaborate:
“It’s a dirty word (UFOs) and a forbidden topic. Science is about open-minded inquiry. You shouldn’t be laughing off people. You should show more deference and respect to them. Scientists need to get back to using the scientific method to study things that are unknown and unusual, and the UFO subject is one of them.”
While such accusations can seem generalized, Davis also admits that there are many scientists who do study the phenomenon, if even from the peripheral.
“There are those who are aware of evidence and observational data that is irrefutable. It is absolutely corroborated, using forensic techniques and methodology. But they won’t come out and publicize that because they fear it. Not the subject, but the backlash from their professional colleagues.”
Davis goes on to admit that this topic isn’t just meant to be studied by the scientific community.
“It’s the domain of military intelligence,” he suggests. “The fact that [unknown] craft are flying around Earth is not a subject for science, it’s a subject for intelligence-gathering, collection and analysis. That’s because UFOs are not a natural phenomenon, and that’s what science studies.”
(Eric Davis)
Whatever these UFOs may or may not be, they seem to defy most conventional propulsion theories that we readily know of here on our planet. But therein lay the limitations scientific methodology. For instance, why do UFOs, making the most dramatic and unconventional maneuvers, need to be piloted by some sort of biological entity? Why is this the reason that some scientists dismiss the objects being piloted craft whose said pilots could not conceivably survive such speeds, velocity, or maneuvers? We send hundreds of unmanned spacecraft out into the heavens constantly for this very reason. What if the objects we witness, racing, floating, and suddenly appearing and disappearing in our skies are nothing more than highly advance drones from somewhere off-planet? Perhaps it could be best summarized by theoretical physicist, Michio Kaku. He once remarked:
“Some scientists have scoffed at UFOs because they don’t fit any of the gigantic propulsion designs being considered by engineers today, such as ramjet fusion engines, huge laser-powered sails and nuclear pulsed engines, which might be miles across. But UFOs can be as small as a jet airplane, and can refuel from a nearby moon base. So sightings may correspond to unmanned reconnaissance ships.”
(Michio Kaku)
So if we are dealing with potential craft (some being unmanned perhaps, some not) entering our atmosphere from space, who better to carry the proverbial weight of UFO observation and possible investigation than those who study celestial bodies and space itself? With the most powerful telescopes observing objects of great distance, and individuals with vast knowledge of what could potentially lay within and beyond earth’s atmosphere, it would be more than appropriate for astronomers to play a large role in the search for truth behind these elusive anomalies.
In 2010, a barrage of UFO sightings saturated the headlines of Chinese newspapers, reports coming in almost on a daily basis. As strange lights and solid objects plagued the skies of China, local airports were temporarily shut down until the objects could no longer be observed as a potential threat for landings and takeoff. Clearly, this was turning into more than just a simple misidentification by civilians.
Planetary astronomer, Wang Sichao, of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, investigated many of these sightings throughout the years, taking a keen interest in the phenomenon as it hit closer and closer to home at the Purple Mountain Observatory where he worked. In at interview with the Beijing Review, Sichao would comment on the UFO reports as “events of credible facts backed by observation. But these facts cannot yet be explained by existing scientific knowledge or natural phenomena.” And while Sichao took on the bulk of UFO sightings in China for self interest and curiosity, he would go on to explain why astronomers are not primarily in the business of searching for or investigating UFO reports: “The reason is that a UFO only appears randomly and often disappears rapidly in a few minutes,” he would continue. “By the time large professional telescopes are started up, it has already disappeared. So, we can only rely on information from occasional sightings or encounters by observers.”
(Purple Mountain Observatory)
In his book, The UFO Phenomenon: Should I Believe?, author and scientist, Dr. Robert Davis points out that:
“Evidence within Ufology is largely based on such anecdotal claims, it is very difficult to build testable hypotheses to either reject or confirm through a validation process, such as, testing predictions against observations to confirm a hypothesis…. ufology would greatly benefit from collaborative research efforts with the scientific community, but instead, have often alienated (no pun intended) them.”
It would seem that with the amount of dedicated scientists connected to the study of UFOs in its sordid independent organizational past, that rigorous scientific method and mainstream acceptance would gradually become inevitable. But with such a complex and frustrating phenomenon taunting us from the corner, it just doesn’t seem to be moving as swiftly as we may have hoped it would. To further the point that science and UFO studies are not exactly in synch, Richard Hall, assistant director of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) once stated:
“Although the ranks of Ufology contain the seeds of science, it should not now pretend to be a science, but a popular movement advocating scientific investigation. It should (and could) clarify and present the factual evidence in a manner designed to encourage a true scientific investigation, which would make use of all the techniques and facilities available to science today.”
The Journey Begins
So while we seem to have varying opinions on a governmental, scientific, and civilian level, one factor remains constant: UFOs are on the mind of individuals in every walk of life, from the simple observer on the side of the road, to the most forward-thinking (and sometimes skeptical) scientists of yesterday and today. So again, we are faced with many dilemmas of how to move forward. These phenomena are far more complex than a singular non-human intelligence pulling the proverbial strings of mystery. A fellow colleague of mine, author and researcher, Micah Hanks, suggested the following in his book, The UFO Singularity:
“The mere proof of official interest in he UFO presence throughout the years cannot by itself make concrete the existence of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, nor can it prove that any single phenomenon can be attributed solely to the identity of the kinds of unidentifiable aircraft in our skies…probing even deeper into the mystery, there could yet be stranger solutions to the enigma that exists somewhere in our midst.”
(Micah Hanks)
Conclusions
While we continue to search for these strange answers in our midst, we also continue to question the approaches we take in that search. Whether it be from the anecdotal evidence of eyewitnesses or the analytical eye of scientists throughout the world, the phenomenon remains as elusive as ever. So in all its enigmatic glory, all we can truly do is continue to search somewhere in the skies for the answers we seek, and the questions we crave. Will we be satisfied with the answers science eventually gives us? Or will we deny it, leading us back down the path of the illogical and immeasurable? Only time will truly tell. And in that telling, we can be certain of one thing: the UFO phenomenon isn’t going to ever leave us. In fact, it seems that it has only begun its invasion on our curious, and ever-expanding minds.

WETENSCHAPAlle chemiehandboeken zijn vanaf vandaag in een klap gedateerd, nu er vier nieuwe elementen zijn toegevoegd aan de tabel van Mendelejev. De vier vervolledigen de zevende rij van het periodieke systeem. "Dit is veel belangrijker dan Olympisch Goud", luidt het in de chemiewereld.
Omdat de elementen al na enkele seconden afbreken, bleek het bijzonder moeilijk om hun bestaan te bevestigen
De vier nieuwe elementen komen niet voor in de natuur; het zijn synthetische elementen die enkel in een laboratorium geproduceerd kunnen worden. Omdat ze bovendien al na enkele seconden afbreken, bleek het bijzonder moeilijk om hun bestaan te bevestigen.
Omdat wetenschappers de grootste moeite hadden om de elementen 113, 115, 117 en 118 meer dan eens te creëren, hadden ze voorlopige namen en posities in de tabel van Mendelejev. Maar op 30 december oordeelde de International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, die de chemische nomenclatuur en systemen beheert, dat Japanse, Russische en Amerikaanse wetenschappers voldoende bewijs geleverd hebben voor hun bestaan.
Hun ontdekkers zullen de vier elementen de komende maanden een officiële naam geven. Het eerste element dat benoemd wordt, is element 113, dat voorlopig nog ununtrium (Uut) heet. Het werd ontdekt door een team onder leiding van Kosuke Morita aan het Japanse instituut Riken.
Details van de ontdekking van element 113 werden gepubliceerd in het vakblad Journal of the Physical Society of Japan. De queeste van de onderzoekers begon in 2003, toen ze zinkionen lieten botsen op een laagje bismut. Als reactie ontstond er occasioneel een atoom van het element 113. Het duurde tot 2012 voor het team voldoende bewijs kon leveren van het bestaan van het element, in gelijkaardige experimenten met natrium en curium.
'De chemiegemeenschap is verrukt dat ze haar meest gekoesterde tabel eindelijk vervolledigd ziet tot de zevende rij'
Jan Reedijk, voorzitter Inorganic Chemistry Division
Verslagen over de ontdekking van elementen 115 (Uup, ununpentium), 117 (Uus, ununseptium) en 118 (Uuo, ununoctium) zijn nog niet gepubliceerd. Deze ontdekkingen staan op naam van een Russisch-Amerikaans team van het Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna en het Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Californië.
Ook deze elementen krijgen de komende maanden een definitieve naam, en ook zij werden ontdekt door atomen van verschillende elementen met elkaar te doen botsen. Net als de andere superzware elementen onderaan in de tabel bestaan de nieuwe elementen slechts enkele seconden voor ze afgebroken worden tot andere elementen.
"Verrukt"
In de chemiewereld worden de ontdekkingen op veel lof onthaald. "De chemiegemeenschap is verrukt dat ze haar meest gekoesterde tabel eindelijk vervolledigd ziet tot de zevende rij", reageerde professor Jan Reedijk, voorzitter van de Inorganic Chemistry Division van het IUPAC. Ryoji Noyori, voormalig directeur van het Riken-instituut, liet in een mededeling weten dat dit "voor wetenschappers veel meer waarde heeft dan Olympisch goud".

Belg zag vorig jaar meer ufo’s vliegen
Belg zag vorig jaar meer ufo’s vliegen - STANDAARD.be
“Ufo’s” in 2013 in Ronse Foto:
Het Belgisch UFO-meldpunt, dat de waarnemingen van merkwaardige verschijnselen in de lucht onderzoekt, heeft afgelopen jaar weer meer meldingen gekregen dan een jaar eerder. Dat blijkt uit het jaarverslag van de organisatie.
Belgen dienden in 2015 224 formulieren in om merkwaardige verschijnselen in de lucht te melden, in 2014 waren het er 180. Volgens het UFO-meldpunt is de stijging deels te wijten aan de media-aandacht voor twee opvallende meldingen.
Het UFO-meldpunt zegt dat er opvallend veel waarnemingen waren die verklaard konden worden door een astronomisch verschijnsel. 'Naar aloude gewoonte zorgden Venus (al dan niet in conjunctie met Jupiter) als Sirius (de helderste ster aan de hemel, nvdr.) en de maan voor veel verwarring', klinkt het.
Geen recordjaar
In totaal werden 45 waarnemingen verklaard door een ster, planeet of de maan. Andere regelmatig terugkerende verklaringen zijn een ballon (14), een vliegtuig of helikopter (14), of een meteoor of ruimteschroot (13).
Een recordjaar was 2015 niet. In 2011 waren er 342 meldingen. De meeste meldingen kwamen uit Oost-Vlaanderen. Vermoedelijk is de oorzaak dat een van de twee opmerkelijke meldingen die veel media-aandacht kregen uit De Pinte kwam.
Het Franstalige COBEPS (Comité Belge pour l’Etude des Phénomènes Spatiaux) noteerde 93 meldingen in 2015.
Hillary Clinton: “Ik zal de waarheid over UFO’s en Area 51 onthullen als ik de volgende president van Amerika word”
Hillary Clinton: “Ik zal de waarheid over UFO’s en Area 51 onthullen als ik de volgende president van Amerika word”
De Amerikaanse presidentskandidaat Hillary Clinton heeft gezegd dat ze tot op de bodem zal uitzoeken wat de overheid weet over UFO’s en aliens als ze de nieuwe president van Amerika wordt.
Ze deed deze belofte tijdens een gesprek met Daymond Steer van The Conway Daily Sun in New Hampshire. In 2007 zei ze dat de meeste Wob-verzoeken die haar man Bill Clinton kreeg, betrekking hadden op UFO’s. “Ik ga het tot op de bodem uitzoeken,” zei Hillary tegenover The Sun.
In 2014 vertelde Bill Clinton aan tv-presentator Jimmy Kimmel dat hij niet verbaasd zou zijn als blijkt dat aliens de aarde bezoeken.
‘Mogelijk al bezocht’
Tijdens het gesprek zei Hillary verder: “Mogelijk zijn we al zijn bezocht. We weten het niet zeker.” Ze voegde toe dat ze ook Area 51 onder de loep wil nemen. Op de vliegbasis in Nevada worden volgens geruchten aliens bewaard.
De manager van Hillary’s presidentscampagne is niemand minder dan John Podesta, die na zijn laatste werkdag als beleidsadviseur van Obama twitterde: “Mijn grootste mislukking van 2014, wederom niet gelukt om de UFO-onderzoeken te openbaren.”
Rockefeller Initiative
“Hij heeft me doen beloven dat we deze informatie samen naar buiten brengen,” zei Clinton. “Misschien kunnen we een speciale eenheid naar Area 51 sturen.”
In 1993 vroeg miljardair Laurance Rockefeller toenmalig president Bill Clinton om alle UFO-files vrij te geven. De president had in 1996 een ontmoeting met Rockefeller over het zogeheten ‘Rockefeller Initiative’. Dit initiatief moest ervoor zorgen dat geheime UFO-stukken openbaar gemaakt zouden worden.
Three and a half decades ago, fighter pilot Oscar Santa Maria Huerta had an Independence Day-like experience when he tried to shoot down a bizarre light-bulb craft. Until today, the incident is the only documented case of a military plane firing on an unidentified flying object (UFO).
On the early morning of April 11, 1980, the 23-year-old Lieutenant of the Peruvian Air Force was about to join around 1,800 military personnel and civilians for daily exercises at the La Joya Air Force Base, 1,000 km south of the Peruvian capital.
A pilot who had been flying combat missions since he was 19, Lt Huerta was ordered to take off in his Sukhoi-22 fighter to intercept the unknown silver object that had been observed hovering near the end of the runway.
The strange object was 5 km away, hovering around 600 metres off the ground, and was not responding to any communications. It was in restricted airspace without authorisation, posing a significantthreatto national sovereignty, according to the now-retired Colonel.
Colonel Huerta was among of several former military officers, researchers and others who provided evidence at a big event at the National Press Club in Washington in 2013, in hopes to give pressure to the U.S. government about opening its files on UFO encounters.
Colonel Huerta flew to 2,500 metres and shot a burst of 64 30mm shells when he reached the right distance. Even one of those shells would wipe out a car, but all of them had no effect on the object. It then shot rapidly skywards away from the base and Colonel Huerta activated the aircraft’s afterburner to chase it. As they reached 84 km from the base, in the city of Camana, the UFO came to a sudden stop, prompting him to veer to the side.
After turning up and to the right, Huerta tried to position for another shot. He locked on the target and ready to shoot, but the object made another fast climb that appeared to evade an attack. He tried the same thing two more times, but the object kept shooting upwards seconds before he could shoot.
When the object reached 14,000 metres above the ground, Colonel Huerta attempted to attack from above, but the UFO shadowed him all the way up to 19,200 metres, way beyond the specifications of his aircraft.
He realised he was running low on fuel, losing his capability to attack, so he decided just to flynear the object to get a better look. When he reached 100 metres away, he started to see an object that measured around 10 metres in diameter with ashinycream-colored dome on top, similar to a light bulb cut in half.
The bottom was a wide silver circular base that looked like a metal. It had no antennae, windows, exhausts, propulsion jets, wings, and other components of a typical aircraft. At that moment, the pilot realised it wasn’t a spying device but a UFO, something entirely unknown.
Having not enough fuel, he could not attack, manoeuvre his plane, or make a quick escape. He was afraid as he made his return, gliding part way and zigzagging to make his plane harder to hit. After he had landed, the object stayed in the place he left it for another two hours, visible to people on the base while it reflected in the sun.
In a June 1980 document from the United States Department of Defence titled “UFO Sighted in Peru,” it was revealed that the object remained of unknown origin.

Une importante cité oubliée découverte en Égypte
Une importante cité oubliée découverte en Égypte
La cité de Naukratis découverte dans le delta du Nil. Twitter @towersight
Une incroyable découverte a été faite par des archéologues britanniques dans le delta du Nil, en Égypte. La cité marchande grecque de Naukratis a été mise au jour après être tombée dans l’oubli durant des siècles. La ville avait été redécouverte par un égyptologue anglais en 1884 mais les scientifiques pensaient que le site n’était pas très important. En réalité, les archéologues viennent de prouver que la superficie des ruines est deux fois plus grande que ce que l’on pensait et que des milliers de vestiges sont à portée de main.
Un patrimoine historique précieux
Près de 10 000 objets anciens viennent d’être sortis des flots, dont des débris d’épaves, des ruines de temples sacrés, mais aussi des figurines dédiées au « festival de l’ivresse ». De plus, la découverte de cette cité implique beaucoup de choses pour les scientifiques : « jusqu'à maintenant, nous pensions que les vaisseaux s'arrêtaient sur la côte méditerranéenne et qu'ils étaient déchargés par des barges », a témoigné le conservateur du British Museum et directeur des fouilles Ross Thomas au Guardian. « Maintenant, on peut assurer que des bateaux de haute mer pouvaient s'aventurer aussi profondément en Égypte ».
