Disc-Shaped Craft 'Escorted' a Police Car in Poland

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!”

New shock claim JFK was ' murdered by CIA ' days after demanding UFO files and NASA visit

PRESIDENT John F Kennedy was shot dead because he demanded the release of top-secret UFO files from the CIA, an alien researcher has sensationally claimed.

 

The claim was made after US presidential Democratic candidate Hilary Clinton vowed to get to the bottom of an alleged UFO cover up high within the government.

 

Scott C Waring, editor of UFO Sightings Daily, posted copies to his website of a letter sent by JFK to the then head of the CIA just 10 days before he was murdered.

 

He wrote: "Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton doesn't know it yet, but she does not have the power to release such information. 

 

"CIA would kill her before she could, just like they did JFK. 

 

"Yes, just a week before his death JFK wrote a memo to CIA to release all pertinent info to NASA, but somehow he was killed before it ever happened. 

 

"I was the first to publish this document in my book UFO Sightings 2006-2009."

 

The memo is a confirmed declassified document released by the CIA.

 

Mr Waring added: "JFK wrote the memo to CIA on Nov 12, 1963, then on Nov 22, 1963 he was killed. 

 

"Hillary will be too scared of the CIA to release such information."

 

The now declassified but redacted memo from JFK to then head of CIA 10 days before his death

 

The memo asked for a breakdown of identified and unidentified sightings the CIA was aware of.

 

JFK wrote: "It would be very helpful if you would have the high threat cases reviewed with the purpose of identification of bona fide as opposed to classified CIA and USAF sources.

 

"It is important that we make a clear distinction between the knowns and unknowns in the event the Soviets try to mistake our extended cooperation as a cover for intelligence gathering of their defence and space programs.

 

"I would like you to arrange a program of data sharing with NASA where unknowns are a factor."

 

On the same day JKF sent a separate memo to NASA asking for "cooperation with the former Soviet Union on mutual outer space activities."

 

It is understood JFK was concerned about the high amount of UFO sightings over Russia and feared the Soviets would wrongly believe it was US spying equipment. 

 

Four days later on November 16 1963 he visited NASA at Cape Canaveral, Florida, which further fuels the conspiracists theory.

"Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton doesn't know it yet, but she does not have the power to release such information. CIA would kill her before she could, just like they did JFK "   Scott C Waring

 

Several other alien researchers have said they support the theory on various postings on websites.

 

In the 1990s a document which became known as the "burned memo" surfaced.

 

It was allegedly received in the post by a UFO researcher called Timothy Cooper in 1999 and was said to have been sent by an unnamed CIA source who allegedly worked three from 1960 to 1974.

 

The alleged source claimed the document, which has never been verified as real, was pulled by him from a fire while the CIA was burning sensitive material, hence the scotch marks.

 

The memo had no date and referred to "Lancer", the supposed secret service code name for JFK.

 

It allegedly had this message from the director of Central Intelligence: "As you must know, Lancer has made some inquiries regarding our activities, which we cannot allow.

 

"Please submit your views no later than October. Your action to this matter is critical to the continuance of the group."

 

Sceptics claim the "burned memo" was a fake to add fuel to the conspiracy.

 

There have been many conspiracies surrounding JFK's death, including those claiming CIA involvement, but not always because of UFOs.

 

Final ride: JFK (far left) driven moments before his execution

 

 

 

Ex-marine misfit Lee Harvey Oswald, 24, was charged with the shooting, which he denied, but he too was shot dead by nightclub boss Jack Ruby before he could go on trial.

 

In November, James Files, 72, a Mafia hit man in jail for separate murders claimed in an interview that he had been a sniper on the day of JFK's death and fired a shot at his head.

 

Controversially, he says there was collusion between the Mafia and the CIA to kill 46-year-old Kennedy, claims which could lead to him being called to give testimony on oath in Washington.

 

The Vietnam war veteran was part of the CIA team that trained a militia for the ill-fated Bay of Pigs invasion in Cuba in 1961, which turned many in the agency against Kennedy when he called a sudden halt to the clandestine operation.

 

After being kicked out of the military, Files joined the “outfit” in Chicago, becoming a right-hand man to Mafia chief Charles “Chuckie” Nicoletti, a hitman for Chicago mob boss Sam Giancana.

 

Files said he also had a now-dead CIA handler.

 

Files, who is serving time for being an accessory to a mob murder, claims that CIA men felt betrayed over the Bay of Pigs fiasco and feared Kennedy was going to shut the agency down because it was out of control.

 

They called in mobsters to carry out the killing in Dallas, Texas, he said.

Incredible UFO sightings in Thailand and Austria

The search for signs of life beyond the solar system is kicking into a higher gear.

Scientists are working to compile a catalog of gases that could potentially be evidence of life, so researchers will know what to look for when scanning the atmospheres of rocky, Earth-like alien planets.

"Every way we have possible, people [are] trying to find exo-Earths," planetary scientist Sara Seager, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said last month at the American Astronomical Society's Extreme Solar Systems III conference in Hawaii. [10 Exoplanets That Could Host Alien Life]

"We have a shot at finding signs of life in the next decade or so," she added. "The question is, what will we look for?"

Many different possibilities

Astronomers have discovered nearly 2,000 exoplanets to date. Scientists are beginning to probe the upper atmospheresof some of those worlds using instruments such as NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. As technology

But there are thousands of other molecules produced by life on Earth that are not directly related to keeping an organism alive.

"Imagine walking in a pine forest and smelling the smells that come off of trees," Seager said. "Those are technically all biosignatures."

With the exception of the noble gases — helium, neon, argon, xenon, krypton and radon — life produces every gas available in Earth's atmosphere, she added. Living organisms may not always be the dominant method of production, but they play a role.

"Pick any gas — it's made by life," Seager said.

Seager and her team compiled a list of 14,000 different molecules that could conceivably be biosignatures on alien worlds. This enormous database should aid scientists as they search the atmospheres of planets around other stars. 

Hunting for Earth 2.0

Scientists have studied the atmospheres of more than three dozen worlds beyond the solar system, to some degree. The number is so small because most of the exoplanets that have been discovered to date lie hundreds or thousands of light-years away — generally, too distant to probe in any detail with current instruments. (More than half of all confirmed exoplanets were spotted by NASA's Kepler space telescope, whose search field lay relatively far away.) [Gallery: A World of Kepler Planets]

But the situation should change soon. NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite(TESS), which is scheduled to launch in 2017, will hunt for planets around more than half a million nearby stars. While it will not be able to detect Earth-like planets around sunlike stars, TESS should be able to identify Earth-size planets circling dimmer red dwarfs, in regions where they could host liquid water on their surfaces, mission team members said.

NASA's $8.8 billion James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which should launch in 2018, will be able to perform atmospheric studies of the rocky worlds found by TESS. Indeed, TESS should discover dozens of "super-Earths" — planets slightly bigger than Earth — whose atmospheres JWST can probe, NASA officials have said. So, if life is common and widespread throughout the Milky Way galaxy, the TESS-JWST pair should give researchers a decent shot at detecting it.

Like Kepler, TESS and JWST will use the "transit method," detecting and studying alien worlds when they pass in front of their host stars from the telescopes' perspective. But a different technique, known as direct imaging, is not so dependent on such favorable cosmic alignments.

As its name suggests, direct imaging refers to snapping actual photographs of exoplanets. This is tough to do, especially for relatively small, distant or close-orbiting alien worlds, but technological advances promise to extend the technique to more and more planets as time marches on.

For example, an instrument known as a coronagraph can be attached to a telescope, to block out the overwhelming glare from the parent star. Just as placing your hand over the sun allows you to see an airplane flying by, a coronagraph can help scientists directly image a wealth of planets and learn more about them. Seager said NASA is considering adding a coronograph to its proposed WFIRST-AFTA mission, which could study exoplanet atmospheres, along with other tasks. 

Another possibility is a starshade, or external occulter, a massive, petal-shaped object that sits in space a set distance from the telescope, blocking starlight like a coronagraph does. In principle, any telescope (including JWST) can use a starshade, because this kind of light-blocker doesn't have to be built into the instrument.

Studying exoplanet atmospheres via the transit method is generally limited to larger bodies such as super-Earths around dim stars. But direct imaging, including observations performed with starshades, holds a great deal of potential for spotting and studying Earth-size worlds circling sunlike stars, Seager said.

"The starshade must happen," said Seager, who is chair of NASA's Exoplanet Occulter Science and Technology Definition Team.

A lacy web of bright frost-filled fractures fills a crater near the north pole of Mars in this image, acquired Sept. 20, 2015 with the HiRISE camera aboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO).

PHOTOS: Weirdest Mars Craters Spotted by HiRISE

The entire crater is around 3 miles (5 km) across and its ancient interior has undergone countless millennia of freeze/thaw cycles that have broken the surface into polygonal shapes. This process is common on Mars and can even be found on Earth, but this particular image depicts it exceptionally nicely.

The fractured surface polygons can be seen to get more compressed nearer to the crater’s rim. The image description by the HiRISE team explains:

The crater rim constrains the polygon formation within the crater close to the rim, creating a spoke and ring pattern of cracks. This leads to more rectangular polygons than those near the center of the crater. The polygons close to the center of the crater display a more typical pattern. A closer look shows some of these central polygons, which have smaller polygons within them, and smaller polygons within those smaller polygons, which makes for a natural fractal!

Deze 3 mysteries hopen fysici dit jaar te verklaren - HLN.be

Bron: Live Science

De CMS-detector van het CERN. © afp.

WETENSCHAP Een nieuw jaar, nieuwe natuurkundige ontdekkingen. Sinds wetenschappers in 2013 bevestigden dat ze het higgsdeeltje ontdekt hadden, hebben fysici niet stilgezeten. Heel wat sleutelvragen over het heelal blijven voorlopig nog onbeantwoord, maar wetenschappers voorpellen voor 2016 enkele grote doorbraken.

1. Nieuw deeltje?

© thinkstock

Er bestond geen enkele theorie die het bestaan van een dergelijk deeltje voorspelde, maar die leegte is intussen al opgevuld

Gigantisch nieuws hangt mogelijk in de lucht in de wereld van de deeltjesfysica. Bij twee aparte experimenten aan de Large Hadron Collider, de deeltjesversneller van het CERN in Zwitserland, werd een voorzichtige hint opgevangen van het bestaan van een nieuw, nog niet ontdekt deeltje.

Bij zowel het Atlas-experiment als het CMS-experiment werden signalen opgevangen van een teveel aan fotonen rond een energie van 750 en 760 gigaelektronvolt. Volgens wetenschappers kan dat duiden op het bestaan van een nieuw soort deeltje, met ongeveer 800 keer de massa van een proton.

Het bewijs is nog zeer voorlopig: met de gegevens die tot nu toe verzameld werden, is er een kans van 1 op 4 dat het om een toevalligheid gaat. Ter vergelijking: deeltjesfysici hanteren een standaardafwijking van 1 op 3,5 miljoen.

Dit jaar zullen we wellicht weten of er in het universum inderdaad een mysterieus deeltje van deze massa rondwaart. Indien dat zo is, hadden wetenschappers geen idee dat het bestond en geen enkele theorie die het bestaan van een dergelijk deeltje voorspelde.

Die leegte is intussen echter al opgevuld. Er verschenen al meer dan 70 theoretische papers die het deeltje 'verklaren'. Van het zwaardere broertje van het higgsdeeltje tot een verband met donkere materie: het mogelijke nieuwe deeltje prikkelt de verbeelding van fysici, en zal dat ook dit jaar zeker nog blijven doen.

Diverse experimenten die ontworpen werden om zwaartekrachtsgolven te detecteren, moeten hun eerste ontdekking nog doen

2. Zwaartekrachtsgolven

De LIGO-detector bestaat uit twee buizen van elk vier kilometer lengte. © Google Maps.

Gravitatiegolven, of de rimpels die volgens Einsteins algemene relativiteitstheorie voortkomen uit de kromming van de ruimtetijd, dragen energie uit in de vorm van gravitatiestraling. Volgens wetenschappers blijven bij explosies, zoals die van neutronensterren, supernova's en de Big Bang, sporen van deze gravitatiegolven achter in het heelal.

Maar deze zwaartekrachtsgolven werden tot dusver enkel indirect waargenomen. Diverse experimenten die ontworpen werden om deze rimpelingen in de ruimtetijd te detecteren, moeten hun eerste ontdekking nog doen.

Een voorbeeld is het Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) in de Verenigde Staten. Het observatorium werd recent enkele jaren stilgelegd om het van de meest geavanceerde meetinstrumenten en gevoelige detectoren te voorzien. In september werd het opnieuw in gebruik genomen. Volgens wetenschappers is het nu slechts een kwestie van tijd voor het LIGO een eerste baanbrekende ontdekking doet.

3. Donkere materie

Ondergrondse detectoren maken gebruik van de aarde om de kosmische straling te absorberen die vage sporen van donkere materie zou kunnen verbergen

Tot tachtig procent van het heelal bestaat uit een mysterieuze materie die geen licht absorbeert en dus onzichtbaar is voor telescopen. De donkere materie lijkt zwaartekracht uit te oefenen op de zichtbare objecten in het heelal, maar niemand weet waaruit ze bestaat of hoe ze werkt.

Maar wetenschappers hebben hoop dat het mysterie dit jaar opgelost raakt. Een aantal ondergrondse detectoren, zoals het SNOLab in Canada en het Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italië, proberen rechtstreeks donkere materie waar te nemen. 

Veel fysici veronderstellen dat donkere materie bestaat uit WIMP's (weakly interacting massive particles). De ondergrondse detectoren maken gebruik van de aarde om de kosmische straling te absorberen die vage sporen van donkere materie zou kunnen verbergen. Fysici zouden die sporen dan kunnen zien omdat ze in de ondergrondse detectoren botsen met atoomkernen.

UFO Over Hessdalen Being Ignored By Government, Dec 31, 2015, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Dec 31, 2015
Location of sighting: Hessdalen, Norway
Source cam: http://www.hessdalen.org/station/stream2.shtml

This UFO was caught by Streetcap1 on live cam. UFOs have been seen over Hessdalen for the last few decades, so much so that some people put up live cams just to watch them. The world government knows about the alien craft here, but honestly, what could they do about it? With an underground base in this location and aliens coming and going when and how they want. How can prehistoric tech possible threaten them? It can't and they do what they want. They probably have had this underground base for tens of thousands of years. We think the Earth as our own, owned by humans, but in reality, we are new on this planet, but aliens have been here for eons. The were here before us, and will be here after us.

Streetcap1 of Youtube states:
Hessdalen is a very remote area in Norway with a long history of ufo sightings. I noticed slight flashing so started recording. Too frequent for lightning, so maybe fireworks I thought, being the New Year. Then I thought this field normally has sheep in it so cannot be fireworks, scare the livestock etc..

The orb was a huge surprise. It's speed over the terrain appears very rapid and it disappears into thin air toward flashing light in the top right of picture frame.

Two UFOs Caught Over Thailand As Man Takes Selfie, Jan 2, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: January 2, 2016

In this selfie, the eyewitness accidentally caught not one, but two UFOs. One racing across the sky. The other holding its position. New says its Russian debris, but there is no way governments in Asia would take this laying down. Meteors don't hover in place as we see here, nor does space junk. 

Not only do UFOs make contrails, they can contain the contrails to an extremely large width and distance, allowing other UFOs to travel within these contrail tunnels. That is what I saw with my own eyes from my own UFO sighting back in 1990 over Rapid City, SD. But back then, the tunnels were big enough for a 747 to vanish into. With four tunnels side by side starting over my parking lot. 

News states:
Charnchai Jardpimai spotted something hurtling across the sky while he was filming himself with a selfie stick on Saturday, Jan. 2, 2016. He spun around to view what he thought was a meteor streaking through the sky above Phitsanulok province in Thailand. 

The National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand said that the object was most likely debris from a Russian rocket launch in early December, and not a meteor falling to Earth. Parts of the rocket were predicted to land on the same day Jardpimai captured his video.

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.

By KELLY MCLAUGHLIN FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

'Star Wars' for Real: US Military Wraps Up Space War Games

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."

Diverse threats

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

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.

Hillary Clinton talks UFO's

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: 

http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2015/12/ufo-disclosure-2015-i-know-it-didnt.html.

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!",

see: 

http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/john-podesta-on-ufo-disclosure.html.

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,

He also mentioned the subject during his interview with Jimmy Kimmel, see:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZqLlHRepSo.

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,

see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OLchWH8jjI.

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

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.
