Apart from abductee testimony, some researchers have suggested that the government has signed a "treaty" or "contract" with the aliens and are allowing the aliens to abduct people, and even helping them, in order to gain productive knowledge of extraterrestrial technology. They have been doing what they want with absolute impunity for perhaps over 100 years. Their technological superiority over us is supreme. Furthermore, they have been abducting people around the world.
1.) Is it possible that secret human experiments or covert operations could occur in western democracies?
2.) What is the human agenda which seems to be involved in the alien abduction phenomenon and what is the purpose of MILABs?
A new science project launched in 2015 with a lofty goal: to record data on reported sightings of "Unidentified Flying Objects" (or UFOs) in the hopes of identifying what they are.
The group is called "UFODATA" – short for UFO Detection And TrAcking – and is based on building a network of automated surveillance stations with high-tech sensors for gathering scientific data on sightings of alleged UFOs.
The aim is to move toward a scientific solution to the UFO reports by implementing an effort to gather systematic instrumented observations. [10 Alien Encounters Debunked]
Anomalous aerial phenomena
UFODATA stations would measure anything unusual that comes within their range. While detecting anomalous aerial phenomena is top priority, the stations are sure to record already known but rare natural events, such as ball lightning.
The main project goal is to directly record physical data – photos, videos, magnetometer readings, electromagnetic radiation, etc. – about unexplained aerial phenomena "in a more comprehensive manner than has ever been done before," the website adds.
"Whether or not our observations suggest an extra-terrestrial presence," the website explains, "collecting such data would show (a) that UFO phenomena can be studied in a rigorous and systematic fashion, and (b) thereby hopefully break down the 'taboo’ that has long stymied basic scientific research in this area."
Do you believe alien life exists elsewhere in the universe?
Regarding the UFODATA stations, the expense of developing a prototype station — including not just the equipment, camera, and sensors — but also software, construction and testing is in the range of several tens of thousands of dollars. Subsequent stations should be less-costly once the design and construction details are in place.
UFODATA's initial goal is to raise enough money to design and construct one prototype station that would undergo testing for up to one year. The group then expects to fully deploy the first station and begin construction of as many additional stations as funding permits. Ideally, the stations would eventually be deployed on a global basis.
Given an assessment of the instrumentation and software necessities for the system, UFODATA intends to launch a crowdfunding campaign to secure needed funds to pursue building and installing a network of stations.
Silent partners
The intellectual sparkplugs behind UFODATA are over a dozen volunteers, a confab of scientists, engineers, and UFO researchers. “We are also joined by several 'silent partners,’ all scientists and engineers at academic institutions who are prepared to help, but because of the cultural stigma attached to UFOs have chosen to keep their involvement private,” explains the UFODATA website.
A UFODATA board member is Leslie Kean. She is an investigative reporter and author of the New York Times best-selling book, "UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go on the Record" and is also co-founder of the Coalition for Freedom of Information.
"I'm a journalist and not a 'ufologist’. I remain agnostic about the nature and origin of UFOs," Kean told Inside Outer Space. "The popular debate tends to go back and forth between two extremes: conspiracy theorists convinced that UFOs are extraterrestrial spacecraft, and debunkers equally convinced that UFOs don’t even exist. Neither position is the rational one."
Kean said because so little science has been done on UFOs "we remain ignorant about what UFOs actually are."
UFODATA aims to change that, Kean said. “We now have the opportunity to elevate UFO investigations so that they become part of the larger scientific search for extraterrestrial life and will eventually be recognized as such by the world community.”

HOUSTON — A large sign outside the entrance to Space Center Houston promotes the six-story-tall centerpiece of the new Independence Plaza as "bigger on the inside."
Starting on Saturday (Jan. 23), the public will have a chance to see for themselves as general boarding begins of the largest single artifact saved from NASA's space shuttle program: the original Boeing 747 jumbo jet that ferried the shuttle orbiters across the country between missions. Making the 8-story-tall exhibit even bigger is the addition of a full-size space shuttle replica. [Photo Gallery: First Look at Houston's New 747-Shuttle Exhibit]

"It is a world-class [exhibit]," said Frank Marlow, who was among the NASA pilots who flew the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft. "It was such an honor to fly it."
Almost four years in the making, Independence Plaza is the only place in the world where the public can see a (mock) space shuttle atop a Boeing 747 jetliner and be able to go inside both. NASA's retired space shuttle orbiters and its second Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, NASA 911, are on display at other museums across the nation but those vehicles can only be viewed from their outside.
Inside the mock space shuttle Independence, guests can tour a detailed replica of the orbiter's two-level crew cabin. On the flight deck, they can see the controls the commander and pilot used to fly the shuttle. On the mid-deck, the public can enter where the astronauts lived, as well as walk into payload bay.

A hands-on museum now fills the length of NASA 905's fuselage, providing guests with a look back at the history of the space shuttle and how a jumbo jet was able to fly the orbiters between the launch and landing sites. Visitors can try their hands at mating a shuttle atop a 747, run the aircraft and spacecraft stack through a wind tunnel and view the original flying scale model of the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft that convinced NASA a jetliner could carry an orbiter piggyback.
The eight-story-tall access tower that enables guests to enter both the aircraft and shuttle also offers panoramic views of NASA's nearby Johnson Space Center and the surrounding Clear Lake area in Houston.
"Visitors will be a part of history entering this one-of-a kind exhibit," Richard Allen, the president and CEO of Space Center Houston, said.
An unnamed witness who photographed the flying object from a back garden on Monday immediately reported the sighting to official investigators because they were so puzzled by it.
In a brief report to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) the homeowner, from New Orleans in America, said: "It blocked out the sun's rays."
The person said they "observed the object's activity in all lines" of their vision."
In the image it looks like a so-called cigar-shaped UFO, which left trail almost like that of a plane.
It looked like they were going about the same speed. When they got about the length of ten jets apart the second jet made a 45 degree turn to the right and shot out of site.
UFO witness
New Orleans has been a hotbed for UFO sightings according to the MUFON database.
It lists 36 sightings - 21 of which were since 2010 - but dating as far back as 1965
On July 18 1993 two men reported seeing a jet at a bout 20,000 feet, with another approaching that "made an erratic movement."
One of them said: "From the opposite direction we notice what we thought was another jet heading right at it.
"They were about five miles apart when we first saw them.
"It looked like they were going about the same speed. When they got about the length of ten jets apart the second jet made a 45 degree turn to the right and shot out of site.
"We both looked at each other and new right away it was a UFO.
"The turning object had to be going three-times the speed after the turn. After that day I new for sure that UFOs are real."
Alien visitation is a big topic for “The X-Files.” (Credit: Fox)
UFOs are back in style, thanks in part to the return of “The X-Files” to television this weekend, almost 14 years after the last episode had its original airing. And while Mulder and Scully are delving into new anomalies in prime time, the folks who deal with UFO reports in real life are gearing up for renewed attention as well.
Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the SETI Institute
“X-Files, Y-Files, No-Files, I get calls from people who say they have evidence of alien visitation,” said Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the SETI Institute. “Either they’ve seen something, they’ve photographed something or they’re in touch with something.”
The calls generally come in at a regular rate, but Shostak does recall that there was a noticeable uptick while the original “X-Files” show was on TV.
Don Lincoln, a physicist at Fermilab who’s the author of “Alien Universe,” notes that attitudes toward UFOs tend to reflect depictions in popular culture, ranging from flying saucers and little green men to mysterious “Men in Black” and alien conspiracies. The original “X-Files” told tales of gray extraterrestrials and government coverups, and he’s curious to see whether the new series will follow the same path.
“It could well be that what the new X-Files will ultimately accomplish is to introduce a new generation to the mysteries of Area 51 and the unsettling idea of the Men in Black,” Lincoln wrote in an email. “I have said enough. They’re watching…”
One expert who won’t be watching is Peter Davenport, who’s the director of the National UFO Reporting Center, or NUFORC. He doesn’t even own a television.
“I try to avoid addressing works of fiction, because I am a scientist,” he told GeekWire from his home base in Harrington, Wash. “I collect data that is appropriate and accurate. … I find [fictional UFO tales] to be unsatisfying, seeing that I deal with the real thing, all day, every day.”
Since he took over NUFORC in 1994, Davenport has compiled more than 100,000 reports of UFO sightings. Some of the records are stored in a decommissioned missile silo that he bought years ago. Almost all of them are available online. (The exceptions tend to be obvious hoaxes or pranks.)
“From my vantage point, after 22 years of doing this work, it appears to me that this planet has been visited routinely by these objects that we call UFOs,” Davenport said. “This is very good evidence that we are being visited, apparently by creatures from other parts of our galaxy. We are just beginning to awaken to phenomena beyond what our five senses seem to tell us is the case.”
What Davenport can’t figure out is why it takes something like “The X-Files” to get the broader public interested in UFOs. Here are five of the cases that he puts at the top of his list for Washington state:
April 22, 1998:Ten reports come in from observers as far north as Whistler and as far south as Portland, about a bright flash, oval, fireball or disk that was seen in the skies. (It’s worth noting these reports came during the annual Lyrid meteor shower, and that meteor-watchers were interested in this fireball.)
April 8, 2000: A formation of glowing objects is sighted over downtown Seattle.
Jan. 15, 2015: Orange lights sighted in the skies over Friday Harbor.
June 6, 2015:More orange lights, this time over Arlington.
Some folks regard Mount Rainier as a mecca for flying saucers, in part because it was where one of the seminal sightings took place in 1947. But Davenport says he sees no evidence of UFO hot spots — with the possible exception of Myrtle Beach and its environs in South Carolina, for unknown reasons.
“Many people contact me and ask where they can take the spouse and the kiddies to see UFOs,” Davenport said. “My response traditionally is, just go out on your back porch and look up at the sky, and be alert.”
So what happens when someone sees something, and then gives Shostak a call or sends him an email at the SETI Institute? He tries to keep an open mind about the sighting and reply with possible explanations if he can. “I’ve never seen something where I say, ‘This is absolutely it,'” he said.
Shostak notes that it’s a lot harder to investigate the circumstances of a UFO report than it is to report it. Because he has a day job that focuses on scientific studies using radio astronomy, he doesn’t have the time to go into X-Files mode: “You’re seldom in a situation where you can say, ‘Yeah, I know what that was. That was Flight So-and-So.'”
Last fall, a project called UFODATA started trying to close that evidence gap. The UFODATA team brings together well-known names from the UFO field — such as Mark Rodeghier of the Center for UFO Studies and investigative journalist Leslie Kean — plus astronomers, engineers and even a former Pentagon official.
The project’s main objective is to develop automated stations that can record data from anomalous events — a Mulder-Bot, if you will. The instruments on the Mulder-Bot could include an all-sky camera, high-resolution imagers with spectrographic capability, a magnetometer, a weather station, a gravimeter or accelerometer, radiation sensors and perhaps a gamma-ray sensor.
“Technically, the big challenge is going to be the software, not the hardware,” Rodeghier told GeekWire.
The monitoring stations would be placed in areas remote enough to be off the beaten track, accessible enough to be serviced, and interesting enough to provide a likelihood of something happening. Someday, they could show up in Washington state, or Montana, or northern New England.
“We will be lucky to get a couple of honest-to-goodness UFOs,” Rodeghier said.
The way Rodeghier sees it, the first step is to build a community of supporters for the project. The second step is to raise the money, perhaps through a crowdfunding effort.
“If things go well, it’s possible we might do the crowdfunding by the end of 2016,” he said. “Around $40,000 should be enough.”
So stay tuned, UFO fans: The truth — along with the Kickstarter campaign — is out there.
Saturday: Meet the woman who specializes in “X-Files” science. And coming up later today: TV columnist Melanie McFarland’s review of the “X-Files” reboot.

Chronicles of the Future: The secret diary of a man who saw the future
Chronicles of the Future: The secret diary of a man who saw the future
It is one of the most incredible things you will probably read for years. The Chronicles of the Future tell the bizarre, incredible and “controversial” experience of Amadeus Dienach Paul, who lived at the beginning of last century in Central Europe. Due to a serious illness, the author was in a coma for a whole year, during which he claims his conscience traveled to the future and entered a different body, allowing him to interact with people of that distant era. Even though this might sound extremely bizarre and many will consider these the texts as a “cheap shot”, Dienach writings about the future have been taken very seriously by certain organizations around the world. Some of those are believed to be the Masons. There are many books that contain alleged prophecies and futuristic visions, but none of those come close to the strange circumstances surrounding the experience of Dienach. Furthermore, only a handful of selected individuals have had the privilege of reading these stories; in fact, there are only few printed copies published in Greece.
In 1921, Dienach fell victim to a sleeping sickness, and, as a result of the disease fell into a coma and remained in that state an entire year in the hospital of Geneva. When he woke, he recorded in his diary that he was awake and alert all the time, but not in the year or the place where his body was.
According to the diary of Dienach, his consciousness had traveled into the body of another man, called Andrew Northman, and the year was 3906 AD.
According to Dienach, people noticed that the year 3906 a different consciousness had invaded the body of Andrew Northman, so they decided to show and explain everything about that era, as well as exactly what happened from the twenty-first century until the beginnings of the fortieth century.
In the future, people mentioned that a new species of humans called Homo Novus Occidantalis were created, these are the next step in evolution. For fear of being treated crazy or exposed to ridicule, both personally and professionally, Dienach did not tell his story to anyone but that changed when he moved to Greece.So how did the story of Dienach end up being told?At the age of 36, with a very poor health after recovering from coma, Dienach moved to Greece in the fall of 1922, as a gentler and more mediterranean climate would certainly improve his quality of life. Once there, he took the opportunity to practice and teach in a German university. It was there that he met the student George Papahatzis, who later became the vice president of the National Council of Greece, a founding member of the Philosophical Society, and senior Mason.After two years, his health had deteriorated once again and Dienach decided to move again, this time to Italy. Before leaving, Dienach confided to his favorite student, Papahatzis, a briefcase full of notes, urging him to read in the future. In 1924 Dienach died of tuberculosis.George Papahatzis translated Dienach notes gradually over a period of 14 years, from 1926 to 1940. Initially he thought his teacher had written a strange novel, but as Papahatzis ead more and more, he realized that what he was translating were the very memories of his teacher.
World War II and the subsequent civil war in the Hellenic country, made Papahatzis temporarily abandon translations of the notes. Subsequently, in the period from 1952-1966, he tried to track down the relatives of his deceased teacher, even traveling to Zürich on twelve occasions. Once the translation of the incredibly story of Dienach was complete, Papahatzis shared the notes with a closed circle of fellow Masons. The writings were seized by the secret society as critical to the future of mankind and, among insiders, Dienach received the title of prophet of modern times.
The notes of Dienach were available in philosophical circles of Freemasonry, which believed that such information should not be visible to an audience that would not be prepared to handle it. Papahatzis strongly disagreed and published the diary of Dienach which caused him countless problems. He lost his job, was accused of heresy by the Church, and most copies of the book disappeared quickly. In 1979, when Greece was moving onto democracy Papahatzis decided to try again but with similar results.
The Chronicles of the future will probably, one day, become the ideal script for a Hollywood movie that many of us would love to see in theaters. The incredible stories and information contained inside the “diary” of Dienach, if true, will change history of mankind as we see it, the question is, will this diary, which was never intended to become a book, come to its “unintended” audience across the world.
The only case of air combat against a UFO: the Peruvian secret (VIDEO+)
The only case of air combat against a UFO: the Peruvian secret (VIDEO+)
In all these decades of UFO sightings, only one man tried to shoot against them: the Peruvian fighter pilot Colonel Oscar Santa Maria Huerta that over 35 years ago, on 11 April 1980 was the star of the only documented case of fighting between a military jet (a Sukohi-22) and a UFO in the shape of light bulb.
Santa Maria Huerta, Peruvian Air Force pilot Lieutenant at the time, with eight years of experience in combat missions, was preparing for the daily exercises along with about 1,800 military and civilians at the air base of La Joya, 1,000 kilometers south of the Peruvian capital. Suddenly he was ordered to take off with his Sukohi-22 to intercept a strange UFO silver that had been reported in flight over the end of the runway. The object was located about 5 kilometers in the air at about 600 meters above the ground, and had not responded to any attempt at communication. Huerta said that the object “was in an airspace without authorization and posed a severe challenge to national sovereignty” Peruvian also Huerta continues to say that “La Joya was one of the few bases in South America that had equipment of Soviet origin , and we were worried about possible espionage activities “. After taking off, Huerta reached 2,500 meters above sea level by starting a running attack. “I have reached the necessary distance and I fired a volley of bullets sixty 30 mm, they have created a” wall of fire “in the form of cone that normally would erase everything in its path,” he writes, adding that the former military pilot “one of these bullets would destroy a car, but they had no effect against ‘UFO’.
“I thought that the” ball “was torn and gas jets would emerge out of it. But nothing happened, seemed that the enormous projectiles had been absorbed by the balloon, and was not at all damaged.” The object then moved away quickly from the base toward the sky, forcing Huerta to activate the afterburner aircraft to hunt him remaining 500 meters behind. When they reached the city of Camana, 84 kilometers from the base, the subject underwent a sudden stop, forcing Huerta to divert to side. Turning upward and to the right Huerta tried to hire again a fighter plane but just when the UFO was at the center of the viewfinder and Huerta was ready to hurl a new burst, the object suddenly stood up, “breaking” the attack . Twice more the maneuver was repeated twice more and the object escaped the attack, jumping up a few moments before Huerta could fire. Meanwhile the UFO had risen to 14,000 meters above sea level, so the pilot tried to attack from above, but the object was able to take up to 19,200 meters above sea level, beyond the limits of Sukohi-22. Huerta, afraid of running out of fuel, trying to get closer to what until then had been considered to be a balloon aircraft. But 100 meters away he realized that was not what he thought it “an object that measured about 10 meters in diameter with a dome on top glossy cream, similar to a light bulb cut in half.
The fund was a large circular base, in silver, and it seemed a kind of metal.It lacked all the typical components of aircraft; he had wings, jet propulsion, drains, windows, antennas. He had no visible propulsion system”. Huerta was face to face with a UFO and at that point began to be run out of fuel and to have suspected that it can be an easy target, so he decided to return to base with evasive zigzag, hoping not to be chased the UFO. After the 22-Sukohi of Huerta was landed, the UFO remained in place for another two hours visible to anyone base, reflecting the sunlight. Another similar incident had already happened in 1976 to a pilot Iranian Air Force, General Parviz Jafari, but due to a malfunction of the machine guns had failed to open fire on a UFO.
The Peruvian case was made by the Department of Defense in 1980 in a dossier entitled “UFO sighting in Peru” in which you came to the conclusion that the origin of the mysterious object was unknown. Since then, over 35 years later, there have been no recorded “close encounters” between UFOs and military aircraft.

Speed of light 'broken': life changing scientific discoveries
Speed of light 'broken': life changing scientific discoveries
The science world has been left in shock after it was announced that CERN scientists had recorded subatomic particles travelling faster than the speed of light in a finding that could overturn fundamental law of physics. Here are a selection of other major scientific discoveries.
Galileo Galilei Photo: GETTY IMAGES
Gravity
Galileo Galilei overturns nearly 2,000 years of Aristotelian belief that heavier bodies fall faster than lighter ones by proving that all bodies fall at the same rate with his Law of Falling Bodies in 1604. More than 60 years later Sir Issac Newton concludes in his "Universal Gravitation" theory that all objects in the universe, from apples to planets, exert gravitational attraction on each other. Then in 1687 he changes our understanding of the universe by formulating three laws to describe the movement of objects. 1) An object in motion remains in motion unless an external force is applied to it. 2) The relationship between an object's mass (m), its acceleration (a) and the applied force (F) is F = ma. 3) For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Albert Einstein won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921Photo: AP
Relativity
Relativity has revealed the bizarre world of black holes and told us that the universe had a beginning. With his Special Relativity theory in 1905 Albert Einstein that explained the relationship between speed, time and distance. Einstein’s theory stated that nothing in the universe can travel faster than the speed of light.It overthrew basic assumptions about time and space by describing how clocks tick slower and distances appear to stretch as objects approach the speed of light. That same year E = mc^2 or energy is equal to mass times the speed of light squared. His famous formula proves that mass and energy are different manifestations of the same thing, and that a very small amount of mass can be converted into a very large amount of energy. One profound implication of his discovery is that no object with mass can ever go faster than the speed of light. It is Special Relativity that scientists had CERN appear to have disproved.
Best known for his treatise "On the Revolution of the Celestial Spheres", The Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus asserted that the earth and other planets revolved around the sun - contrary to the medieval belief that the earth was the centre of the universe. He presented his theory in 1532 to a select audience in the Vatican Gardens. The theory was viewed with suspicion by the Church, and his treatise was not published until 1543, the year of his death. Eventually the theory became the cornerstone for a future generation of scientists including Kepler and Galileo, but one of its ardent advocates, Italian cleric Giordano Bruno, was burned at the stake as a heretic in 1600. Galileo discoveries proved the Copernican System.
Quantum theory
The theory has made the modern world possible, giving us lasers and computers and iPod nanos, not to mention explaining how the sun shines and why the ground is solid. Danish physicist Niels Bohr, considered one of the most important figures in modern physics and the "father" of quantum mechanics, won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922 for his research on the structure of an atom. Although he help develop the atomic bomb, he deplored its use for war and instead promoted atomic power for peaceful purposes.
Evolution
Charles Darwin wrote On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, in which he challenges contemporary beliefs about the creation of life on Earth. His seminal work, which popularised the theory, was published in 1859 and drew fierce criticism from the Church of England for the way it challenged the notion of divine creation. Darwin had served as an unpaid naturalist on the HMS Beagle, which set out on a five-year scientific expedition to the Pacific coast of South America in early 1832. The data he collected on the expedition, especially specimens from the Galapagos Islands, was the inspiration for his theories on evolution by the mechanism of natural selection. His work has been at the centre of controversy ever since it was published. Darwin's The Descent of Man, published in 1871, aroused even greater debate as it suggested that humans descended from apes. Although Darwin is the most familiar name associated with evolution, he was only persuaded to publish his work when another young scientist, Alfred Russel Wallace, came forward having independently come up with a similar explanation for how evolution occur.
Disease and bacteria
Before Louis Pasteur, the French chemist and and biologist, began experimenting with bacteria in the 1860s, its cause was unknown. He not only discovered that disease came from microorganisms, but he also realized that bacteria could be killed by heat and disinfectant. This idea caused doctors to wash their hands and sterilize their instruments, which has saved millions of lives. He was able to demonstrate that organisms such as bacteria were responsible for souring wine and beer (he later extended his studies to prove that milk was the same), and that the bacteria could be removed by boiling and then cooling the liquid. This process is now called pasteurisation. Pasteur then undertook experiments to find where these bacteria came from, and was able to prove that they were introduced from the environment. This was disputed by scientists who believed they could spontaneously generate.
Penicillian
The era of antibiotics began in 1928 when Alexander Fleming spotted how penicillin produced by green mold killed bacteria. The improbable chain of events that led him to the discovery in 1928 is the stuff of which scientific myths are made. The young Scottish research scientist, who had a profitable side practice treating the syphilis infections of prominent London artists, was pursuing his pet theory that his own nasal mucus had antibacterial effects. He left a culture plate smeared with Staphylococcus bacteria on his lab bench while he went on a two-week holiday. Upon his return he spotted a clear halo surrounding the yellow-green growth of a mold that had accidentally contaminated the plate. Unknown to him, a spore of a rare variant called Penicillium notatum had drifted in from a mycology lab one floor below. He decided not to store his culture in a warm incubator and during a cold patch of weather, gave the mold a chance to grow. Later, as the temperature rose, the Staphylococcus bacteria started growing in a similar fashion to a piece of lawn that eventually covered the entire plate except for the area surrounding the moldy contaminant. Seeing that halo is considered to be Fleming's "Eureka" moment and he later correctly deduced that the mold must have released a substance that inhibited the growth of the bacteria. It was a discovery that would change the course of history. The active ingredient in that mold, which Fleming named penicillin, turned out to be an infection-fighting agent of enormous potency.
Scientists said on Thursday they recorded particles travelling faster than light - a finding that could overturn one of Einstein's fundamental laws of the universe.
Antonio Ereditato, spokesman for the international group of researchers, said that measurements taken over three years showed neutrinos pumped from CERN near Geneva to Gran Sasso in Italy had arrived 60 nanoseconds quicker than light would have done.
"We have high confidence in our results. We have checked and rechecked for anything that could have distorted our measurements but we found nothing," he said. "We now want colleagues to check them independently."
If confirmed, the discovery would undermine Albert Einstein's 1905 theory of special relativity, which says that the speed of light is a "cosmic constant" and that nothing in the universe can travel faster.
That assertion, which has withstood over a century of testing, is one of the key elements of the so-called Standard Model of physics, which attempts to describe the way the universe and everything in it works.
The totally unexpected finding emerged from research by a physicists working on an experiment dubbed OPERA run jointly by the CERN particle research centre near Geneva and the Gran Sasso Laboratory in central Italy.
A total of 15,000 beams of neutrinos - tiny particles that pervade the cosmos - were fired over a period of three years from CERN towards Gran Sasso 730 (500 miles) km away, where they were picked up by giant detectors.
Light would have covered the distance in around 2.4 thousandths of a second, but the neutrinos took 60 nanoseconds - or 60 billionths of a second - less than light beams would have taken.
"It is a tiny difference," said Ereditato, who also works at Berne University in Switzerland, "but conceptually it is incredibly important. The finding is so startling that, for the moment, everybody should be very prudent."
Ereditato declined to speculate on what it might mean if other physicists, who will be officially informed of the discovery at a meeting in CERN on Friday, found that OPERA's measurements were correct.
"I just don't want to think of the implications," he said. "We are scientists and work with what we know."
Much science-fiction literature is based on the idea that, if the light-speed barrier can be overcome, time travel might theoretically become possible.
The existence of the neutrino, an elementary sub-atomic particle with a tiny amount of mass created in radioactive decay or in nuclear reactions such as those in the Sun, was first confirmed in 1934, but it still mystifies researchers.
It can pass through most matter undetected, even over long distances, and without being affected. Millions pass through the human body every day, scientists say.
To reach Gran Sasso, the neutrinos pushed out from a special installation at CERN - also home to the Large Hadron Collider probing the origins of the universe - have to pass through water, air and rock.
The underground Italian laboratory, some 120 km (75 miles) to the south of Rome, is the largest of its type in the world for particle physics and cosmic research.
Around 750 scientists from 22 different countries work there, attracted by the possibility of staging experiments in its three massive halls, protected from cosmic rays by some 1,400 metres (4,200 feet) of rock overhead.
It might be relatively easy for life to evolve on hospitable planets throughout the universe, but very hard for it to get any kind of a foothold, a new study suggests.
"The universe is probably filled with habitable planets, so many scientists think it should be teeming with aliens," lead author Aditya Chopra, of the Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra, said in a statement. "Early life is fragile, so we believe it rarely evolves quickly enough to survive."
Chopra and co-author Charley Lineweaver, also of ANU, posit that environmental conditions on young planets are unstable, and there is thus likely only a small window of time for life to get going, even on initially hospitable worlds.
In the first 500 million years or so of a wet, rocky planet's life, for example, it will be too hot and heavily bombarded to support life. Life could emerge over the next 500 million years, as the planet cools and the impact rates settle down a bit.
During that time, however, the planet will probably be losing its liquid water, perhaps as the result of a runaway greenhouse effect (as occurred on Venus), or perhaps because it got too cold. There's a good chance that the planet will end up shifting from habitable to uninhabitable, as Venus and Mars apparently did, by roughly 1 billion to 1.5 billion years after its formation — unless life gets going fast enough to stabilize things, Chopra and Lineweaver say.
"Between the early heat pulses, freezing, volatile content variation, and runaway positive feedbacks, maintaining life on an initially wet rocky planet in the habitable zone may be like trying to ride a wild bull. Most life falls off," they write in the study, which was published in the journal Astrobiology. "Life may be rare in the universe, not because it is difficult to get started, but because habitable environments are difficult to maintain during the first billion years."
The researchers term this idea the "Gaian bottleneck" hypothesis. They contrast it with the "emergence bottleneck" concept, which postulates that it's tough for life to get started at all. (Good news: Earth life has made it over both of these putative hurdles.)
It's unclear, of course, which of these hypotheses better represents reality, or if either of them represents reality well at all. But there are possible (albeit difficult and time-consuming) ways to test such ideas out, the researchers said.
"One intriguing prediction of the Gaian bottleneck model is that the vast majority of fossils in the universe will be from extinct microbial life, not from multicellular species such as dinosaurs or humanoids that take billions of years to evolve," Lineweaver said in the same statement.
Has the Kepler Space Telescope Discovered an Alien Megastructure?
Has the Kepler Space Telescope Discovered an Alien Megastructure?

NASA's Kepler Space Telescope is tasked with finding small, rocky worlds orbiting distant stars. However, exoplanets aren’t the only thing Kepler can detect — stellar flares, star spots and dusty planetary rings can also pop up in the mission's observations.
But there's also been speculation that Kepler may have the ability to detect more than natural phenomena; if they're out there, Kepler may also detect the signature of artificial structures orbiting other stars. Imagine an advanced civilization that's well up on the Kardashev scale and has the ability to harness energy directly from its star. This hypothetical alien civilization may want to construct vast megastructures, like supersized solar arrays in orbit around their host star, that could be so big that they blot out a sizable fraction of starlight as they pass in front.
When Kepler detects an exoplanet, it does so by sensing the very slight dip in starlight from a given star. The premise is simple: an exoplanet orbits in front of star (known as a "transit"), Kepler detects a slight dimming of starlight and creates a "lightcurve" — basically a graph charting the dip in starlight over time. Much information can be gleaned from the lightcurve, such as the physical size of the transiting exoplanet. But it can also deduce the exoplanet’s shape.
Normally the shape of an exoplanet isn't particularly surprising because it's, well, planet-shaped. It's round. The physics of planetary formation dictate that a planetary body above a certain mass will be governed by hydrostatic equilibrium. But say if Kepler detects something that isn’t round. Well, that's when things can get a bit weird.
For the most part, any dip in star brightness can be attributed to some kind of natural phenomenon. But what if all possibilities are accounted for and only one scenario is left? What if that scenario is this object appears to be artificial? In other words, what if it’s alien?
In a chilling article written by Ross Andersen of The Atlantic, at first glance, it seems we may be at this incredible juncture.
The research paper is thorough, describing the phenomenon, pointing out that this star is unique - we've seen nothing like it. Kepler has collected data on this star steadily for four years. It's not instrumental error. Kepler isn't seeing things; the signal is real.
"We'd never seen anything like this star," Tabetha Boyajian, a postdoctorate researcher at Yale University and lead author, told The Atlantic. "It was really weird. We thought it might be bad data or movement on the spacecraft, but everything checked out."
The Planet Hunters volunteers are depended on to seek out transits in Kepler's stars in the direction of the constellation Cygnus. This is a huge quantity of data, from over 150,000 stars in Kepler’s original field of view, and you can’t beat the human eye when identifying a true dip in starlight brightness. The Planet Hunters described KIC 8462852 as "bizarre," "interesting" and a "giant transit." They're not wrong.
Follow-up studies focus on two interesting transit events at KIC 8462852, one that was detected between days 788 and 795 of the Kepler mission and between days 1510 to 1570. The researchers have tagged these events as D800 and D1500 respectively.
The D800 event appears to have been a single transit causing a star brightness drop-off of 15 percent, whereas D1500 was a burst of several transits, possibly indicating a clump of different objects, forcing a brightness dip of up to 22 percent. To cause such dips in brightness, these transiting objects must be huge.

The researchers worked through every known possibility, but each solution presented a new problem. For example, they investigated the possibility of some kind of circumstellar disk of dust. However, after looking for the infrared signal associated with these disks, no such signal could be seen.
Also, the star is a mature F-type star, approximately 1.5 times the size of our sun. Circumstellar disks are usually found around young stars.
The researchers also investigated the possibility of a huge planetary collision: could the debris from this smashup be creating this strange signal? The likelihood of us seeing a planetary collision is extremely low. There is no evidence in data taken by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) that a collision happened, creating a very tiny window of opportunity between WISE's mission end and the beginning of Kepler's mission (of a few years) for an astronomically unlikely cosmic event like this to occur.
The only natural explanation favored by the researchers seems to focus on an intervening clump of exocomets.
"One way we imagine such a barrage of comets could be triggered is by the passage of a field star through the system," write the researchers.
Indeed, they argue, there's a nearby star that might have tidally disturbed otherwise dormant comets in the outermost regions of the KIC 8462852 star system. This small star is located around 1,000 AU from KIC 8462852 and whether it's a binary partner or an interstellar visitor, its presence may have caused some cometary turmoil. Like the other scenarios, however, the exocomet explanation still falls short of being fully satisfactory.
This research paper focuses only on natural and known possible causes of the mystery transit events around KIC 8462852. A second paper is currently being drafted to investigate a completely different transit scenario that focuses around the possibility of a mega-engineering project created by an advanced alien civilization.
This may sound like science fiction, but our galaxy has existed for over 13 billion years, it's not such a stretch of the imagination to think that an alien civilization may be out there and evolved to the point where they can build megastructures around stars.
"Aliens should always be the very last hypothesis you consider, but this looked like something you would expect an alien civilization to build," Jason Wright, an astronomer from Penn State University, told The Atlantic.
Indeed, hunting down huge structures that obscure the light from stars is no new thing. The Search for Extraterrestrial Technology (SETT) is one such project that does just this. Only recently, a survey of the local universe focused on the hope of detecting the waste heat generated by a technologically advanced civilization, specifically a Type II Kardashev civilization.
On the Kardashev scale, a Type II civilization has the ability to utilize all the available energy radiating from a star. Using a vast shell or series of rings surrounding a star, a Dyson sphere-like structure may be constructed. This has the effect of blotting out the star from view in visible wavelengths, but once the solar energy has been used by the alien civilization, the energy is shifted to longer wavelengths and likely lost as infrared radiation.
This recent search for aliens' waste heat drew a blank, reaching the conclusion that as there appears to be no alien intelligence cocooning stars to harvest their heat, there’s likely no Type II civilization nearby.
But as KIC 8462852 is showing us, there may be something else out there — possibly an alien intelligence that is well on its way to becoming a Type II civilization, which is setting up some kind of artificial structure around its star.
Of course, these mystery transit events are nowhere near "proof" of an alien civilization. In fact, it's barely evidence and a lot more work needs to be done.
The next step is to point a radio antenna at KIC 8462852, just to see whether the system is generating any artificial radio signals that could indicate the presence of something we'd define as "intelligent." Boyajian and Wright have now teamed up with Andrew Siemion, the Director of the SETI Research Center at the University of California, Berkeley, to get a radio telescope to listen into the star and if they detect an artificial signal, they will request time on the Very Large Array (VLA) to deduce whether any radio signals from that star are the chatter of an alien civilization.
It might be a long shot, and the phenomenon is more likely a clump of comets or some other natural phenomenon that we haven't accounted for blocking star light from view, but it’s worth investigating, especially if there really is some kind of alien intelligence building structures, or perhaps, ancient structures of a civilization long-gone, around a star only 1,500 light-years away from Earth.

The first evidence of alien life may be recorded as a hologram.
Scientists have detected microbes in Greenland sea ice using a specially built digital holographic microscope, suggesting that the instrument could have similar success on icy moons in the outer solar system, if any of them harbor life.
Indeed, the holographic microscope could theoretically make a contribution to NASA's mission to the Jupiter moon Europa, which the agency plans to launch by the mid-2020s, the instrument's developers say. [13 Ways to Hunt Intelligent Alien Life]
"This was designed from the beginning to have a path to flight," said Chris Lindensmith of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, who presented the team's latest results last month at the annual fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) in San Francisco. "We're ready to jump up and say, 'Pick us! Pick us!'"
Photographing life
Digital holographic microscopy (DHM) uses the interference of light (which is produced by an internal laser) to record information about an object as ahologram. A computer then uses this information to construct a viewable image of the object.

DHM has several advantages over ordinary imaging microscopy when it comes to possible use on a space mission, Lindensmith said. For example, it's easy to make DHM instruments autonomous; there is no need for knob-twiddling to bring a target object into sharp view.
"The thing that makes it magic is, we don't have to do any focusing," Lindensmith told Space.com at AGU. "We can reconstruct any image in the object field."
DHM images can be recorded in the form of videos, which allow researchers to detect microbe motility — one of the least ambiguous signs of life.
The team built a field-ready DHM system that’s about the size of an airplane carry-on bag, then put it to the test last March in three different sea-ice sites near Greenland's capital city, Nuuk, which lies on the giant island's southwestern coast.
The results were extremely promising, Lindensmith said. The instrument was able to resolve objects smaller than 1 micron (or 1 millionth of a meter), and it detected moving eukaryotes — organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles — in every single one of the more than 100 sea-ice samples it examined.
Do you believe alien life exists elsewhere in the universe?
It was obvious from the DHM footage that the microbes were actively swimming, and not merely being swept along by fluid flow, Lindensmith said. Some of the imaged eukaryotes were motionless, but in many cases their cellular structure clearly identified them as organisms, he added.
"Big eukaryotes — those things just scream out," he said.
The story was a bit different for the prokaryotes — organisms such as bacteria that have no nuclei or other membrane-enclosed internal structures. Most of them were not moving upon initial observation, and when motionless they were tough to tell apart from random debris.
However, the researchers were able to induce prokaryotic movement by adding the amino acid serine to the samples.
Similar goosing strategies would likely be employed on a space mission to get microbes to move, Lindensmith said. For example, samples could be heated slightly, or hit with light and/or a magnetic field. It would even be possible to offer up food to alien microbes without adding sugars or other contaminants from Earth, he added — simply kill a small portion of the native prokaryotes, and let the others swim over and feast on their brethren. [6 Most Likely Places for Alien Life in Solar System]
Going to Europa?
The DHM unit's performance in the Greenland ice could make it an intriguing contender for future life-detection missions to moons such asEuropa and the Saturn satellite Enceladus, both of which possess global oceans beneath their icy shells.

NASA is already developing a Europa mission, a $2 billion project that's scheduled to launch in the early to mid-2020s. The as-yet-unnmaned spacecraft will perform 45 flybys of Europa from Jupiter orbit over the course of 2.5 years or so, assessing the moon's habitability with nine different science instruments.
The Europa spacecraft's payloads are not set in stone yet; NASA is considering adding a lander to the mission, possibly to hunt for signs of life on or near the moon's surface. If the agency does decide to go this route, a DHM unit would make a lot of sense, Lindensmith said; the microscope could be integrated into an instrument suite that also contains spectrometers, which would perform chemical analyses of target samples to complement the imaging work.
There shouldn't be any trouble getting a DHM instrument ready to go in time for the Europa mission's launch, he added. The unit that got a workout in Greenland last year is already nearly in "space mode," and the team should have a design for a bona fide flight version laid out by the end of February, Lindensmith said.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope spotted signs of a plume of water vapor emanating from Europa's south polar region in late 2012 (though future efforts to confirm the plume have not been successful), and geysers near Enceladus' south pole continuously blast out large amounts of water ice, organic compounds and other material.
A DHM instrument could theoretically search for signs of life in Europa orEnceladus plume material collected during flybys, Lindensmith said, but such work would pose challenges that a lander-based instrument wouldn't face. For example, plume samples would be very small, so the odds of seeing something interesting would be lower. Further, plume material would be snagged by a spacecraft at high velocity, possibly killing and/or destroying any cells that were picked up.

Alien conspiracies, monsters, cryptids, mutants, paranormal phenomena -- just a typical day for the fictional FBI agents of "The X-Files."
But how close to fiction was it?
Creator, writer and director Chris Carter tells a real-life tale about the show in its early days that's worthy of the show's catchphrase, "The truth is out there."
"I had someone come up to me during the original run of the series, who said they worked in some high place in a secret government agency, [and] said that we were very close to the truth," Carter told The Huffington Post.
"I didn't know whether to take that person at their word or not. I can tell you this: When I wrote the [1993] pilot, I called the FBI to do some research, and they were nice enough, but didn't really give me the time of day.
"Then, all of a sudden, as we got close to airing, the FBI called and said, 'Who are you and what are you doing?' And for a second, I thought it was going to be the long arm of the law coming in to shut me down."
The science fiction classic returns to TV this weekend after a 14-year absence, and Carter tells HuffPost Weird News that the feds eventually took a liking to him -- and he took a liking to them.
"They became unofficial fans [of the 'X-Files']. And as a member of the FBI Citizens Academy, I've had a chance to shoot many a firearm with the FBI. I got to shoot a few rounds at the firing range at FBI headquarters in Washington."
Sunday night's premiere of the long-awaited 10th season mini-series marks the first of six installments, combining the alien conspiracy mythology of the original "Monster of the Week" series with stand-alone episodes.
"The X-Files" first invaded the consciousness of viewers in 1993, eventually producing more than 200 episodes over nine seasons along with two feature films.
An ardent worldwide audience has anxiously waited to see the reunion of FBI agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson), as they continue to unravel the fictional unsolved cases that have plagued the bureau.
The show's updated catchphrase: "The truth is still out there"
While Mulder's obsession with the paranormal propelled him forward in his quest to prove that Earth is visited by colonization-minded aliens, level-headed skeptic Scully spent an equal amount of time doing her best to remain focused, trying to provide logical explanations for all of the weird stuff they've come in contact with.
One thing for sure, after more than a decade since the last time he wore Agent Mulder's alien conspiracy shoes, Duchovny told HuffPost it was a no-brainer stepping back into the character for the new season.
"It was easy because we had so many years doing it with one another, and for those eight or nine years that we shot the show, we would've spent more time with each other than with our families. And, very much like a family, we fall into a certain way of being and relating and bring that to the characters. You can't fake that kind of history. It's such a gift for an actor to be able to have that much time with the people that he or she is working with."
Check out the following behind-the-scenes video: "The X-Files: Re-Opened"
Carter, Duchovny and Anderson have all hinted they'd be interested in continuing the "X-Files" franchise beyond these upcoming new episodes.
While the series has featured many bizarre, dangerous and mind-bending adversaries -- human and otherwise -- what about Carter, the creator and life force behind it all. Has he ever seen anything he couldn't explain?
"Not a UFO and I've never had a visitation. I've certainly had experiences that seemed somewhat paranormal, but I'm still in the 'I want to believe' camp."
Note to Carter: How about a newer catchphrase: "The truth is always out there"
The two-night premiere of "The X-Files" returns to Fox on Jan. 24 at 10 p.m. and Jan. 25 at 8 p.m. Check your local listings.

Ontdekking nieuwe planeet in ons zonnestelsel leidt tot speculaties over Planeet X of Nibiru
Ontdekking nieuwe planeet in ons zonnestelsel leidt tot speculaties over Planeet X of Nibiru
Nu er sterke aanwijzingen zijn voor de aanwezigheid van een negende planeet in ons zonnestelsel, is er veel aandacht voor de doemdenkers die al decennialang zeggen dat Planeet X of Nibiru op ramkoers met de aarde ligt en dicht langs de aarde zal scheren.
Volgens hen is de NASA al jaren op de hoogte van dit mysterie, maar houdt het ruimtevaartagentschap belangrijke informatie achter.
De nieuwe planeet is volgens wetenschappers van Caltech 10 keer zo zwaar als de aarde en draait in ongeveer 15.000 jaar om de zon. De New York Daily News vraagt zich af of ‘Planet Nine’ in werkelijkheid Planeet X is.
Sitchin
Astronoom Percival Lowell trapte begin jaren 1900 de zoektocht naar Planeet X af toen hij voorspelde dat achter Neptunus nog een grote planeet moest staan. Aan de hand van zijn berekeningen ontdekten astronomen Pluto in 1930.
De Amerikaan Zecharia Sitchin schreef in de jaren zeventig als eerste over Nibiru. De naam komt uit de Babylonische astrologie en heeft betrekking op astronomische objecten. Volgens Sitchin, die oude teksten en Bijbelse geschriften interpreteerde, beschrijft Nibiru een elliptische baan en komt de planeet eens in de 3600 jaar in de buurt van de aarde.
Hij stelde dat astronauten van de mysterieuze planeet zo’n 400.000 jaar geleden een bezoek hadden gebracht aan de aarde en door middel van gentechnologie de mens hebben gecreëerd.
Hoewel Sitchin in 2010 is overleden, wordt zijn website nog altijd onderhouden. Woensdag werd daar een bericht geplaatst over de ontdekking van de nieuwe planeet. Hoewel het spannend nieuws is, gaat het hier mogelijk niet om Nibiru, aangezien de omloopbaan afwijkt, aldus de site, die er gelijk aan toevoegde dat er sinds de laatste omwenteling misschien iets veranderd is aan de baan van de planeet.
Dwergster
Nancy Lieder uit Wisconsin begon vanaf de jaren negentig te beweren dat de komst van Nibiru rampzalige gevolgen zou hebben. De aantrekkingskracht van Nibiru zou leiden tot massale verwoestingen op aarde. Ze claimde in eerste instantie dat Planeet X in 2003 zou aankomen.
Toen de wereld in 2003 niet verging, werd het einde der tijden verplaatst naar 21 december 2012, de dag waarop de Mayakalender zou zijn afgelopen. De NASA begon steeds meer vragen over Planeet X te krijgen.
In 1983 zouden twee NASA-wetenschappers volgens sommigen een Jupiterachtig object – Planeet X – hebben waargenomen. In 1984 meldde de Associated Press dat de dinosaurussen waren uitgestorven als gevolg van een dwergster die van tijd tot tijd kometen onze kant op stuurt.
In 2011 laaide de discussie weer op toen komeet Elenin werd ontdekt. Volgens sommigen was de komeet verantwoordelijk voor zware aardbevingen in Japan en Chili. Toen wetenschappers uitlegden dat kometen geen magnetisch veld hebben, speculeerden complottheoretici dat de komeet in werkelijkheid Nibiru was. De komeet viel uiteindelijk uit elkaar bij de zon.
NASA-wetenschappers zeggen al jaren dat Nibiru niet bestaat.
Stel je hebt jaren geleden naar een science fiction televisieserie en een film zitten kijken die speelt in de ruimte.
En dan plots komt een ruimteschip uit die film in het echt tevoorschijn op beelden van NASA.
Het is zo langzamerhand een bekend feit dat in films en televisieseries soms dingen aan het grote publiek worden bekendgemaakt zonder dat het gros hier ook maar iets van merkt.
Zo zijn er natuurlijk talloze films gemaakt zoals Starwars en televisieseries zoals Battlestar Galactica. Het is in die serie en film waar een ruimteschip voorkomt dat heet de Battlestar Galactica star fighter.
De bekende Youtubegebruiker Streetcap1 heeft iets ontdekt op de SOHO telescoop van NASA wat verdacht veel lijkt op het ruimteschip uit de film.
Scott Waring van Ufo Sightings Daily heeft de opnames van Streetcap1 en die van de Battlestar Galactica fighter naast elkaar gelegd en dan zie je het volgende.
De UFO die we op de Soho beelden zien, heeft dan ook alle kenmerken van een door mensen gemaakt object. Dat zou dan weer passen in de verhalen van hacker Gary McKinnon die bij NASA een lijst met namen van buitenaardse officieren tegenkwam.
Het zou ook overeenkomen met verhalen van andere klokkenluiders over de geheime ruimtevloot van de Bilderbergers waarover wij eerder schreven.
Uiteraard wordt er door NASA geen toelichting gegeven en dus is het aan ons om uit te puzzelen waar we hier mee te maken hebben.
'We kunnen geen aliens vinden, omdat ze al zijn uitgestorven'
'We kunnen geen aliens vinden, omdat ze al zijn uitgestorven'
Waarom kunnen we geen buitenaards leven vinden? Omdat leven op andere planeten maar kort kan bestaan en snel uitsterft, aldus onderzoekers.
Wetenschappers vermoeden dat er in onze Melkweg alleen al miljarden leefbare planeten te vinden zijn. Je zou dan ook verwachten dat we al snel op een buitenaards wezen moeten stuiten. Maar dat is tot op heden niet gebeurd. Waar zitten die aliens toch?
ET is dood Wetenschappers van de Australian National University komen met een mogelijke verklaring voor het feit dat we nog steeds geen kennis hebben gemaakt met ET. ET is dood. “Het universum is waarschijnlijk gevuld met leefbare planeten, dus veel wetenschappers denken dat het moet wemelen va de aliens,” vertelt onderzoeker Aditya Chopra. “Jong leven is echter zo kwetsbaar, dat we denken dat het zelden snel genoeg evolueert om te kunnen overleven.”
“JONG LEVEN IS ZO KWETSBAAR, DAT WE DENKEN DAT HET ZELDEN SNEL GENOEG EVOLUEERT OM TE KUNNEN OVERLEVEN”
Instabiele systemen “De meeste planetaire systemen zijn niet stabiel. Om een leefbare planeet te produceren, moeten levensvormen broeikasgassen zoals water en koolstofdioxide reguleren om de oppervlaktetemperatuur stabiel te houden.” Dat is wat levensvormen op aarde waarschijnlijk gedaan hebben. “Leven op aarde speelde waarschijnlijk een leidende rol in het stabiliseren van het klimaat van de planeet,” vertelt onderzoeker Charley Lineweaver.
De aarde, Venus en Mars De onderzoekers wijzen erop dat zo’n vier miljard jaar geleden in ons zonnestelsel meerdere leefbare planeten te vinden waren: de aarde, maar ook Venus en Mars waren mogelijk leefbaar. Maar ongeveer een miljard jaar nadat Venus en Mars waren ontstaan, trad er een – fatale – verandering op. Venus werd een broeikas en Mars werd ijskoud. Als er al leven op de twee planeten was ontstaan, dan moet het ergens in die periode – nog voor het in staat was om het klimaat te reguleren – het veld hebben geruimd.
“IN FEITE WORDT KLIMAATVERANDERING ALIENS DUS AL IN EEN VROEG STADIUM FATAAL”

Geen stabiliteit “Dat we nog geen signalen van aliens hebben gevonden, heeft mogelijk weinig te maken met de waarschijnlijkheid dat er leven of intelligent leven ontstaat,” aldus Chopra. In plaats daarvan zou het alles te maken hebben met het feit dat leven er niet snel genoeg in slaagt het klimaat op een planeet te reguleren, zodat het stabiel blijft. In feite wordt klimaatverandering aliens dus al in een vroeg stadium fataal.
Aliens die al in een vroeg stadium van hun evolutie uitsterven en zo aan detectie door mensen weten te ontsnappen. De onderzoekers noemen het de ‘Gaian Bottleneck’. “Een intrigerende voorspelling op basis van het Gaian Bottleneck-model is dat het merendeel van de fossielen in het universum afkomstig zal zijn van uitgestorven microbieel leven en niet van meercellige soorten zoals dinosaurussen of mensachtigen die miljarden jaren nodig hebben om te evolueren,” stelt Lineweaver.

Filer’s Files #4 – 2016 ET Walks Among Us - PART I
In special reports, this week’s files cover: Astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell, “ET Has Visited Us,” David Jacobs “Walking Among US,” Death on Mars, The Last Pope’s Christmas Predictions, and Scientists find evidence of ninth planet in solar system
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Texas.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Australia, Canada, Italy, Portugal, and England in the United Kingdom.
The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The weekly intelligence report provides you with information on the latest sightings and UFO news that you need to understand the world situation. The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force and Prince Phillip told me of his personal interest in UFOs. The US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.
Forward these files to your friends and neighbors.

Astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell, “ET Has Visited Us”
Quote from Dr. Edgar Mitchell in his book titled “The Way of the Explorer”.
“Yes, there have been ET visitations. There have been crashed craft. There have been material and bodies recovered. There has been a certain amount of reverse engineering that has allowed some of these craft, or some components, to be duplicated. And there is some group of people that may or may not be associated with government at this point that have this knowledge. They have been attempting to conceal this knowledge. People in high-level government have very little, if any, valid information about this. It has been the subject of disinformation in order to deflect attention and create confusion so the truth doesn’t come out. “
Edgar D. Mitchell, book The Way of the Explorer Edgar is in the hospital and we wish him a quick recovery.
David Jacobs “Walking Among US”
Dr. David Jacobs is among a small but surprising array of well-known folks who reportedly believe in extraterrestrial life, including former U.S. presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, former astronauts Edgar Mitchell and Gordon Cooper, theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking and celebrities Mick Jagger, Dan Aykroyd, Muhammad Ali and William Shatner.
David Jacobs writes, “The abduction phenomenon is inter-generational and the children of an abductee will all be abductees as will their children, and so on. The abduction phenomenon keeps up with population growth and more people are being abducted than ever before. Abductions begin in childhood and continue into old age. It is difficult to know and most abductions are not remembered.
If a person is forty years old and has ten abductions a year, that means he has been abducted perhaps 300-400 times already.
There are four different entities aboard UFOs and strongly suspect abductions are under the direction of biological creatures of so-called “Insectoids/Reptoids.” The main aliens are the insect-like ones that give orders to the others. Sometimes, but not always, these are reptilians. Dr. David Jacobs suspects that they are at the top of the alien socio-political hierarchy, although rarely encountered; they often give the impression of being in overall charge. They seem in control of small grays in joint projects, but who are more often than not in competition with them for our resources, genetic and otherwise.
Jacobs writes, “There are both tall and small, grays and finally the humanoid hybrids who are all probably created with human DNA and gray alien DNA There are humanoid early-stage hybrids, who are probably crosses between humans and grays, perhaps 80% gray and 20% human; humanoid middle stage hybrids who look more 50-50%; humanoid late stage hybrids who look 80% human 20% gray, humanoid humans, 95% human and 5% gray, and hubrids, 98% human and 2% gray. The hubrids are the ones whose task it is to live here in human society. Each group of beings has been bred for specific tasks and obviously represent a serious concern for the future of humanity
They have a brilliantly thought out program of integration and they have put it into effect. Many are moving into apartments on Earth in numerous countries. What they know is that their task is to live here. The “whys” and “whens” are not forthcoming. Jacobs said, “In my opinion, this is the greatest existential threat to humanity that has ever occurred.”This is a clandestine phenomenonand they don’t want us to know what they’re doing – because what they’re doing benefits them and not us.”
He reported that a “change” is coming when very human-like hybrids will intermingle with humans in everyday life. “Soon we will all be together,” the aliens said. “Soon everyone will be happy and everyone will know his place.” Jacob’s book examines the disturbing phenomenon that the alien integration action plan has kicked into high gear. The incidents of alien abductions have accelerated, as have occurrences of alien involvement in everyday human life. A silent and insidious invasion has begun. Alien hybrids have moved into your neighborhood and have been trained to blend in to society, to appear as normal as your next-door neighbor does.
This book illustrates in detail the process of alien integration into society and the strategy and support structure that has been developed to make this happen seamlessly. While he is not certain why they are doing it, the final chapter of the book will provide some chilling possible answers as to why they are here and what they want to accomplish.
Jacobs is a careful researcher who has investigated more than 1150 abduction events experienced by more than 150 abductees. This book focuses on the experiences of thirteen abductees.
Jacobs feels the so-called “Nordics” are most likely “late-stage” human-alien hybrids. The blond folks may considered to biological, but of a lesser than advanced ETs. Blonde blue-eyed peoples are thought to have been on Earth only for ten thousand years. The Nordics claim to be our ancestors and many insiders claim, the Nordics are helping humans fight off other ET species.
Michael Salla and Ken Bakeman report Reptilians sometimes-called Draco’s are often claimed to be part of the Dark Forces. They are intelligent, technologically very advanced, and clever with strong psychic powers. Can exercise degrees of mind control including taking possession and control of a human body. They seldom if ever speak vocally, but rely mainly on telepathic communication. May also use technology to “speak” through electronics, eg, telephones, radios, etc. Can vocalize sounds, however, such as a roar for anger and a whimper for other emotion. They can run very fast although some have trouble walking with their large feet. Have pencil-like multi-purpose tools, including weapons, which may operate from a backpack worn with shoulder harness. Their communications are simple and direct, not nuanced or subtle. They use vehicular travel, including small, utility, “acorn” shuttlecraft/transitional portal chambers. They appear as small glowing red balls with the ability to pass through matter, and later to materialize as a body. They can shape-shift, move transdimensionally, and become invisible. After the Zetas, the Draco’s are the next best-known alien race. They are the ruling class of aliens on the Earth.
They are considered a “fallen angelic race,” and think of themselves as the original intelligent race who have seeded Earth and other planets, as owners of Earth and its inhabitants. Star Capella was important to Babylonians, Arabs, Greeks and some Egyptian temples. Interestingly, in China, Capella and four other stars of Auriga were known as the Five Chariots. Website
Interesting Space Anomaly
This looks slightly different from previous captures. This to me looks like it has been designed here on Earth and resembles some sort of space Viper Battlestar Fighter vehicle.
New proof of a nuclear catastrophe on Mars! In an epic story of discovery, strong evidence is presented for a dead civilization on Mars and the shocking reason for its demise: an ancient planetary-scale nuclear massacre leaving isotopic traces of vast explosions that endure to our present age. The story told by a wide range of Mars data is now clear. Mars was once Earth-like in climate, with an ocean and rivers, and for a long period became home to both plant and animal life, including a humanoid civilization.
Then, for unfathomable reasons, a massive thermo-nuclear explosion ravaged the centers of the Martian civilization and destroyed the biosphere of the planet. An advanced space power appears to have discovered a civilization on Mars who had built pyramids and cities. Mars was destroyed by a space power like the planet Alderan in the movie Star Wars. The Dark Forces destroyed them by diverting an asteroid into the North of Mars followed by two massive nuclear weapons detonated in mid-air to spread radioactive fallout around the planet.
But, the story does not end there. This tragedy may explain Fermi’s Paradox, the fact that the cosmos, seemingly so fertile and with so many planets suitable for life, is as silent as a graveyard. We must immediately send astronauts to Mars to maximize our knowledge of what happened there, and learn how to avoid Mars’ fate. There likely exits advanced intelligent technological forces in the universe that destroy more primitive civilizations when they start to become a threat to them. It is apparent that Earth is in danger from the Dark Forces.
Pope Francis: “The Last Pope’s Christmas
Firstly, notice what Pope Francis of the Vatican said as 2015 ended.
On December 25, 2015, Pope Francis told crowds in St Peter’s Square “This may be our last Christmas.” “The current chaotic state of the world marks the beginning of the end times, and this time next year the world is likely to be unrecognizable.“ (Video)
Queen Elizabeth allegedly went off script on December 24, during her taped message she told the BBC production staff, and said bitterly. “I hope you enjoy your final Christmas.”…That is the claim making the rounds on social media due to a bizarre set of comments she allegedly made during the filming of her annual Christmas message for the BBC last year. She may be ill, is resigning her position, or his concerned about terrorism. Under strict orders from palace advisors, the take was cancelled and junior staff was sent on an early lunch. Later in the day, the Christmas message was re-done.
Predictions for 2016
Dire Predictions of World-Changing Events Poised Ready To Break
If you did not know, events have started to happen in Europe, USA and Australia right now that are set to change the world overnight.
Big upheavals are coming to your life and that of your family members. In addition, I am still in shock after 5 months of checking and re-checking some ancient prophecies that foretell what is happening. And after that, what is going to come.
The 2016, predictions are looking interesting. While World War 3 fears have become common due to saber rattling by China and Vladimir Putin’s Russia. Some people are combining the 2016 Nostradamus predictions with Bible prophecies related to Jesus and the Antichrist’s end times. Throw a giant asteroid into the WW III mix, and these 2016 conspiracy theories are certain to be a blast. A modern-day Nostradamus predicts a 2016 asteroid impact on Earth.
Pastor Ricardo Salazar a Christian pastor claims refugees in Europe will soon find the borders closed to them. Salazar claims World War 3 starts with China attacking Japan in February of 2016. Again, others have made similar predictions, including writers for the American Thinker and George Soros, who believed there was a “likelihood” that China’s Communist Party would start an external conflict in order to unify the people against a common enemy if their economy begins to falter.
It is claimed that in April of 2016 that Russian scientists will spot a 5.6-mile wide asteroid. In May of 2016, the asteroid is supposed to impact on either May 15 or May 17, and the resulting destruction will kill 1.2 billion people. “NASA knows of no asteroid or comet currently on a collision course with Earth
China and Russia will supposedly continue World War 3 with an attack on the United States. This war eventually expands to include Israel, and the Bible does speak of foreign nations attacking during the end times. Website
Note: The financial situation in China could cause a dire situation.
The Planetary Defense Coordination Office and Asteroid Danger
When a NASA mission to study Mars’ deep interior blasts off in 2016, it may also carry a tag-along experiment that will slam an impactor into a potentially hazardous asteroid.
Scientists are studying the possibility of adding the asteroid-deflection effort — dubbed Impactor for Surface and Interior Science (ISIS) — to NASA’s InSight Mars mission, which is slated to launch a Lander toward the Red Planet in March 2016.
Once set loose in space, ISIS is designed to slam into the potentially dangerous asteroid 1999 RQ36 in September 2016. [Gallery: Potentially Dangerous Asteroids]
Asteroids capable of inflicting damage on a global scale hit the Earth roughly every million years, and we may be developing a method of deflecting them away from Earth. Scientists have proposed a variety of strategies to nudge an asteroid off course. The list includes using lasers, mirrors or atomic weapons launched from Earth. Unlike any other type of natural hazard, an asteroid impact could kill billions of people. However, it is also the only natural hazard that can be prevented, at least in principle.
“It’s a thing we know will happen sometime in our future so we need to do something about it,” said William Ailor, of The Aerospace Corporation. Astronomers estimate there are between 900 and 1,100 near-Earth asteroids one kilometer – about six-tenths of a mile – or larger in diameter. It is not clear what sort of damage one of those asteroids could cause were it to strike Earth. Destruction on a global scale is likely although we do not know what they could do.” said David Morrison of NASA’s Ames Research Center.
“Even something of that size, were it to strike, say, the Pacific Ocean, could generate a tsunami capable of destroying the major cities along the West Coast,” Ailor said. Early detection of an inbound asteroid could provide years to prepare for a hit, but current technology allows experts to detect some incoming smaller objects no earlier than three days ahead of time.
Asteroids have hit other planets. Planet Phaeton located between Mars and Jupiter exploded into millions of bits after being hit by an asteroid 1,000 meters wide. Comets and asteroids have been slamming into Earth since time began. A huge asteroid that hit this planet 65 million years ago is believed to have killed off the dinosaurs. But, it has only been in the last 10 to 20 years that scientists have started to seriously consider the threat that asteroids, comets and other or Near Earth Objects called NEOs, potentially pose a threat to our civilization.
Scientists now agree that there are millions of asteroids out there that have a chance of hitting the Earth. If an object of more than 10 kilometers in diameter hits the Earth then there is not much chance of anyone surviving, according to a British task force that published research on NEOs. More dangerous are the smaller objects of one kilometer or more, which may not be detected, that could destroy cities, change the climate and cause huge tidal waves all over the Earth. Two large asteroids have already hit Russia in the last 100 years. In 1908, an asteroid crashed into Tunguska, a remote area of Siberia, causing devastation across an area the size of London. Nearly 40 years later another asteroid hit Sikote-Alin, also in Siberia, smashing more than a hundred craters into the land. If one of these asteroids had hit a city then millions of people would have died.
Fortunately, NASA has formalized its ongoing program for detecting and tracking near-Earth objects (NEOs) in the Planetary Defense Coordination Office (PDCO). The office will be responsible for supervision of all NASA-funded projects to find and characterize asteroids and comets that pass near Earth. It also is taking a leading role in coordinating interagency and intergovernmental efforts in response to any potential impact threats.
Recently, American scientist proved that a meteorite caused a huge crater in the state of Arizona.
More than 13,500 near-Earth objects of all sizes have been discovered to date — more than 95 percent of them since NASA-funded surveys began in 1998. About 1,500 NEOs are now detected each year, and NASA hopes to identify an additional 40 percent of the asteroids within the next decade.
“Asteroid detection, tracking and defense of our planet are something that NASA, its interagency partners, and the global community takes very seriously,” said John Grunsfeld, associate administrator for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. “While there are no known impact threats at this time, the 2013 Chelyabinsk super-fireball and the recent ‘Halloween Asteroid’ close approach reminds us of why we need to remain vigilant and keep our eyes to the sky.”
NASA has been engaged in worldwide planning for planetary defense for some time, and this office will improve and expand on those efforts, working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other federal agencies and departments. “The formal establishment of the Planetary Defense Coordination Office makes it evident that the agency is committed to perform a leadership role in national and international efforts for detection of these impact hazards, and to be engaged in planning if there is a need for planetary defense,” said Lindley Johnson Planetary Defense Officer.
Astronomers detect near-Earth objects using ground-based telescopes around the world as well as NASA’s space-based NEOWISE infrared telescope. Tracking data are provided to a global database maintained by the Minor Planet Center, sanctioned by the International Astronomical Union. Once detected, orbits are precisely predicted and monitored by the Center for NEO Studies (CNEOS) at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. Select NEOs are further characterized by assets such as NASA’s Infrared Telescope Facility, Spitzer Space Telescope and interplanetary radars operated by NASA and the National Science Foundation. Such efforts are coordinated and funded by NASA’s longtime NEO Observations Program, which will continue as a research program under the office.
The Planetary Defense Coordination Office is being applauded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), which supports research and education in science and engineering. “NSF welcomes the increased visibility afforded to this critical activity,” said Nigel Sharp, program director in the agency’s Division of Astronomical Sciences.
This diagram maps the data gathered from 1994-2013 on small asteroids impacting Earth’s atmosphere, disintegrating to create very bright meteors, technically called “bolides”, and commonly referred to as “fireballs”. Sizes of orange dots (daytime impacts) and blue dots (nighttime impacts) are proportional to the optical radiated energy of impacts measured in billions of Joules (GJ) of energy, and show the location of impacts from objects about 1 meter (3 feet) to almost 20 meters (60 feet) in size.
With more than 90 percent of NEOs larger than 3,000 feet (1 kilometer) already discovered, NASA is now focused on finding objects that are slightly bigger than a football field — 450 feet (140 meters) or larger. In 2005, NASA was tasked with finding 90 percent of this class of NEOs by the end of 2020. NASA-funded surveys have detected an estimated 25 percent of these mid-sized but still potentially hazardous objects to date.
NASA’s long-term planetary defense goals include developing technology and techniques for deflecting or redirecting objects that are determined to be on an impact course with Earth. NASA’s Asteroid Redirect Mission concept would demonstrate the effectiveness of the gravity tractor method of planetary defense, using the mass of another object to pull an asteroid slightly from its original orbital path. The joint NASA-European Space Agency Asteroid Impact and Deflection Assessment (AIDA) mission concept, if pursued, would demonstrate an impact deflection method of planetary defense. Website
Scientists find evidence of ninth planet in solar system
January 20, 2016 Updated Jan 20, 2016 at 4:32 PM CST
Scientists say we might have nine planets in our solar system after all, and no, we don’t mean Pluto.
Nicknamed “Planet Nine,” the new planet has 10 times more mass than Earth and orbits about 20 times farther from the sun than Neptune, meaning it takes between 10,000 and 20,000 years for it to make a full orbit.
Researchers have not yet seen Planet Nine, but say they are sure it’s out there because frozen debris outside of Neptune is consistently being pulled into strange orbits. The scientists say this could only be caused by the gravity of another planet. Planet Nine would make only the third planet to be discovered in recent history. By WEEK Producer and MGN Online
New Planets Bigger Than Earth Possibly Found In Our Solar System
Ryan Gorman writes, “Scientists may have found Planet X — the long-rumored object believed to be larger than Earth and further from the sun than Pluto. Planet X and another object dubbed “Planet Y,” are among 13 “extreme trans-Neptunian objects” (ETNOs) orbiting the sun at great distances, according to a report in Space, which quoted a new research paper. They are believed to follow elliptical paths averaging about 200 astronomical units (AU) from the sun. Earth is 1 AU, or 93 million miles, from the sun.
“This excess of objects with unexpected orbital parameters makes us believe that some invisible forces are altering the distribution of the orbital elements of the ETNOs, and we consider that the most probable explanation is that other unknown planets exist beyond Neptune and Pluto,” lead author Carlos de la Fuente Marcos, of the Complutense University of Madrid, said in a statement.
“The exact number is uncertain, given that the data that we have is limited, but our calculations suggest that there are at least two planets, and probably more, within the confines of our solar system,” he added. They are far enough away to be nearly impossible to spot with current instruments, according to Space. Planet X was previously hypothesized in a 2014 research paper. Called 2012 VP113, researchers Chadwick Trujillo and Scott Sheppard claimed that the object never came closer to the sun than 80 AU., Pluto was only recently reclassified as a planet, albeit a Dwarf planet, after losing the distinction in 2006.

Filer’s Files #4 – 2016 ET Walks Among Us - PART II
Filer’s Files #4 – 2016 ET Walks Among Us - PART II
Sightings in the United States
California Lights
Escondido — My husband, brother in law and I were driving on Valley Parkway and I took random pictures around 3 pm. In the first picture, there is this black thing that resembles a blimp? But there was no blimp in the sky at the time. I also noticed a gray orb on top of the mountain directly in front of the car and some strange black things in the sky above the palm trees. In the second picture, the black thing is still in the sky but the gray orb has moved up beneath a cloud. You must enlarge these pictures to see the objects. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Orb
Pensacola — My sister was photographing the sunset on the of Florida and Alabama border on January 4, 2015. Facing south there is a Bayou that flows out to the bay where she shot two photographs. She posted the photos on Facebook and commented about how beautiful the sunset was especially with the “moon” in the picture by the tree. I immediately commented that this was not the moon. She responded, “You’re right. I checked the moon phase and it was a waning quarter.” “What is that?” I told her I was not sure if it was a UFO. Included are the photographs. Looks more like a planet. Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS
Tampa— In the sunset over the Hillsborough Bay, on June 20, 2015, I took this picture with my Android as I was driving over the Gandy Bridge. The sky caught my attention because of the attractive clouds at sunset. I did not notice the craft (UFO) in the sky at the time. I was driving 55 mph and just snapped it quickly.
I just noticed the craft in the sky today, January 18, 2016, when I was looking through photo’s in my Florida library media. I zoomed in and noticed the silver oval craft in the picture in the upper right corner. The distinctly oval silver craft flying over the bay has two black portals below and antenna like cylinders pointing upward. There are also other much smaller black images in the area.
I hope this photo can be analyzed, I have some idea what this craft is, but it is definitely not a jet and likely a UFO. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Georgia Disk
Jekyll Island – My wife was infatuated with the “suds” coming off the surf and took several pictures on November 21, 2015.
When we got home and downloaded them this evening, one had a strange object in it. My wife says that at the time she took the picture, she did not notice anything!
We did notice that at about this same time the dog got spooked, jumped up on a stump, and would not come down. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Louisiana Light
Gretna – I blocked out the sunrays an observed the object’s activity. On January 18, 2016, I shot this view of the sky of a line of bright lights.
I watched star like objects doing sharp turns, flying straight across sky and fading.
Thanks to MUFON CMS’
Michigan Lights
Rockford— We were at the grocery store and could hear the thunder and lightning. When we came outside, we could see how dark the clouds were on August 2, 2015. I took a picture with my cell phone. It wasn’t until I returned home and looked at the picture that I saw the cluster of lights. I took the picture standing in the parking lot. No one noticed the lights until we looked at the picture later as well. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Jersey Craft
Florence— Looking out of my kitchen window I saw a shiny reflective craft just sitting in the sky in full sunshine on June 2, 2014, at 10:52 am. After a few minutes of observation of the craft with no sound or movement, I went to fetch my Nikon Coolpix P520 camera. When I returned it was still there in the same spot. Now it was higher up near the clouds so my camera had difficulty focusing on the object. I took five pictures and two videos of the craft until about 11am, and had to leave to feed my baby. So alas I did not get to see it move or leave, but it was gone after I fed my baby and went back to see if it was still there. My UFO video is on YouTube titled “UFO over Florence.” It comes into focus. (@1:00 & 1:52). I just watched a show about the mass sightings in Bucks County, PA, which is directly across the Delaware River where birds are often seen circling, riding the updrafts. This is a half mile from the landfill in Tullytown on the Delaware River. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New York Orbs
Buffalo— Two ufos were hovering low, and they seemed to cloak one another on January 11, 2016. Thanks to MUFON CMS
North Carolina Orb
My friend and I were on a walk to a dock in our neighborhood and taking pictures of the scenery, when we heard a low hum. I snapped a picture of a tree; and we found a dark orb in the photo. Our stomachs dropped. We looked into the sky and felt heat on our faces (despite the 32-degree wind chill). The sunlight was reflecting off it rapidly and with a flash, it disappeared.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Oregon String of Lights
Eugene— At 11:20 pm on January 17,-2016, I was on my deck and saw a strange string of lights that looked like radiating stars in perfect alignment and spaced equally like on a kite string. I took pictures for 20 minutes until my phone died. I was shocked to see this and got my sister to look at them, as I had never seen anything like this. At first, we thought they were airplanes arriving at the airport, but they never moved and then they glided down in formation following the arc pattern in the sky. They were white with various levels of brightness. One in the middle seemed to be further away and then moved into alignment and was the same brightness.
The lowest one had a blue tinge in the center and shaped like an orb. The top one was the same size and density as the bottom one. They were stationary and in perfect alignment staying in place for 45 – 60 minutes then suddenly, they moved down to the horizon in synch at 12:20 AM, and seemed to land.
My sister witnessed the entire event with me. The point at which I concluded I was seeing something unidentifiable was when I realized they disappeared so quickly. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Pennsylvania Star
North Wales— I was at my girlfriend’s parent’s house when I went out back on the deck and noticed a moving bright star on January 18, 2016. It was moving and changing shapes. I had an eerie feeling as if it knew I was looking at it. I ran inside the house, grabbed a camera, and took as many photos as possible. Each picture had a different look from a ball like orb to a worm like abject. I zoomed in to see what it was. Also in one of the photos, I noticed there was a brownish copper object that was a long worm like figure.
It had five round joints and on each joint, there was a blue sphere on each joint. I finally lost sight of the object and that was the end of that.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Orb
Gainesville — I was texting pictures of the sunrise and discovered that I had taken the picture of the orb on January 17, 2016.
The yellow ball could be a reflection on the lens from the sun.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Worldwide UFO Reports
Australia Light
Canberra ACT — My wife and I returned home from the coast on July 12, 2015, and I went outside at 7:30 PM, and looked up to watch the lightning in the distance. A plane flew across the storm clouds heading southwest with a bright light flying behind the aircraft. It was zigzagging in quick sharp movements about 100 meters behind of the aircraft. I watched for about a minute in awe and finished talking to my dad on the phone. I was mesmerized by the sighting and asked my wife to come out. I realized this zigzagging was by some sort of non-human craft. When I turned to look back at the bright light, it stopped for a second and then shot off into the storm clouds. I have seen many things I cannot explain including ghosts and other ufo phenomena. Thanks to MUFON
Bundaberg –On January 19, 2016, I was on the verandah, when I notice two stars slowly fall for three seconds and instantly disappear. They were too star like to be flares falling at an angle of 10 degrees. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Canada Orb
Oshawa Harbor— I arrived at about 9:30 AM, at the gate on September 28, 2016. I felt uncomfortable as if someone was watching me.
I felt uneasy and paranoid and noticed an object hovering above Lake Ontario. I managed to snap to pictures. .If you like to see more of them let me know…I can email them to you.Thanks to MUFON CMS
Scarborough — On December 9, 2015, I went out for my morning work break on a clearer day and noticed a fast low flashing white light heading south. Being camera ready, I snapped four pictures at 10:10 AM, and one appears round as shown in the photo. I have attached the enhancement to ID it quicker. 2015, has been the highest in number of UFO sightings.
Note: This witness has sent other good photos of UFO sightings in the past. Enhancements reveal a bright circular object a long distance away. The object could have been a balloon or possibly an aircraft at long distance. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website
Italy Light
Bologna — I was driving my van towards a long straight road when I saw a brilliant light in the sky on January 18, 2016. The light was yellow/orange and seemed quite hot, just like a little sun; with a beautiful little rainbow on its lower area. Both the light and the rainbow were very clear with a huge gray disc-shaped object on the left of the light. The “object” seemed disguised as a light grey cloud Thanks to MUFON CMS
Portugal Lights
Porto — Our 23 member’s family group travelled to Portugal for my nephew’s wedding in Porto. After the wedding, the Bride and Groom, stayed behind in Porto, along with a few members of the family.
All but the bride and groom travelled to Sao Felix Hotel 40 km from Porto for a bit of rest and recreation. On September 6, 2015, at 11:40 PM, nine younger members of our family witnessed a formation of several hundred bright sparkly lights, which travelled directly above them, and flew towards the coast. I have some pictures taken by my Nephew in Porto, and a video/audio of the sighting in Sao Felix. The Groom in Porto and other family members also had witnessed the lights! Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK/England Light
Between Leicester & Derby — I was driving southbound on M-1, near Junction 21 on January 15, 2015, when I noticed an unusual white, short sharp trail. It was 5mm in length and looked over a mile away. I felt that an object was causing this vertical trail although I could not see it. It then changed direction again flying back on itself, which I have never seen before.
I took several pictures on the hope that with my camera on maximum focus and managed to capture something quite remarkable. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Support Earth Changing Research
Frankly, I need your help to put out these weekly wrap ups of the weeks most important sightings. I spend about 50 hours a week preparing the files. Only a few people who have enjoyed the files for years have chosen to provide a donation. I would greatly appreciate your contributions to help sustain my production, reporting and research efforts. I want to thank the people who have sent donations to Filer’s Files for this year. When you send in a subscription, please include your latest E-mail address. Do not miss the latest images of UFOs from Earth and Mars. What are they doing to humans and animals?
Our research is uncovering amazing truths by solving challenging projects deemed too difficult by other firms. We have had some success in finding missing persons. We could use your help in getting more results from our research. I have put together a DVD of the last seventeen years of Filer’s Files for you with hundreds of great photographs and UFO sightings. Additionally, I have decided to include my book within the DVD that includes George Ritter’s exciting abduction story told by Linda Moulton Howe. Broadcaster David E. Twichell joined me to write the book. We are asking for a donation of only $50 that includes next year’s subscription and our book. Please include your e-mail address and mailing address.
Have been digging through the giant DVD you sent recently. As a relatively recent joiner, I was unaware of the years’ worth of consistent reports of the same types of objects all over. This has been very educational. Just wanted to thank you for all you’ve done. Bruce W. Freeman Attorney at Law
