Extra-terrestrial Life – What The ELITE Don’t Want You To Know!
Extra-terrestrial Life – What The ELITE Don’t Want You To Know!
It is now clear for many of us around the world that we are NOT alone and being visited by sophisticated Beings not of this world. From the findings that are being announced by leading scientists to admittance off people in the know from a position of authority that Aliens exists (Former Astronauts, Ex Politicians and even Obama!).
But the very unfortunate thing is that the Elite like hiding the truth in plain sight, which is a favourite tactic of the theirs against us all. I suppose the biggest factor working in the elites favour is massive and widespread public incredulity at their schemes, because let’s be honest with ourselves people, the scale of all this is simply unimaginable for the average Joe Bloggs to comprehend, and THIS is what those supposedly in control use to their advantage!
Its time for change against those few that control us!?
To be fair it is very hard to accept that a tiny little group of people, disconnected from all levels or care or compassion, empathy and the rest of humanity, would actively promote war, encourage depopulation and the destruction of our home Planet Earth, but the evidence proves it to the case: from Kissinger’s 1974 Memorandum 200 (depopulation) to the spraying of our skies with toxic metals (geo-engineering).
But please do not worry people, because as bad as this all is, it still has not gone so deep into the rabbit hole as of yet. The Elite keep getting over cocky and smart and If you really want an extreme version of hiding truth in plain sight of us all, then check out the short clip below of President Barack Obama glibly coats the truth of alien intervention with a layer of extremely calculated sarcasm…..but sometimes a persons eyes tells a thousand words Mr Obama!
“The Aliens Exercise Strict Control Over Us”
It is clear for the majority of people around the world watching this clip would have watched this and not given it a second thought and then walked just thinking that the whole thing was a joke. But people this response is EXACTLY the kind of pre-calculated response those supposedly in control want to encourage around the whole ‘Alien’ topic! They do this by hiding truth in plain view of us all by making it all into one big massive joke, or perhaps even turn it into science fiction perhaps some kind of movie which either mocks Aliens or makes them out to be the bad guys! This is all a far more effective strategy at shielding the true reality from a rather sceptical public than mere obfuscation or just a point blank denial. But the Elite need to remember one thing, the people of this world are wakening and people like us who know that we are being lied to, are helping to wake the world!
The people of this world are slowly but surely waking!
This particular theme of hiding truth in plain view of the world’s population can be found everywhere especially in the entertainment industries – kids cartoons, music videos, movies and comedy shows! – and one area which is usually highly used is science fiction. Age old Movies and TV series such as Star Trek and V are a particular way that the elite can release a little pressure but without having to engage in FULL open disclosure. And on the flip side of this It’s also a very cunning way that they can claim some plausible deniability, by explaining away all the evidence and shunning it all as “science fiction”….But indeed what we are being presented with is actually Science FACT!
When looking at movies and hiding hidden ‘truths’ look at even more recent films such as Jupiter Ascending, which has Reptilians in it, Alien Greys in it, Government cover-ups, Galactic rulers etc etc the list goes on….
The ‘Reptilian’ guest appearance in the film Jupiter Ascending.
And whilst the Elite believe that such comical rhetoric can keep the masses of this world in disbelief and ridicule, peoples’ minds may remain closed on a short term basis, but now thanks to technology people can see the truth, ‘Google’ the truth from the palm of their hand without of visiting a library. But think of the amount of UFO sightings around the world which are being captured daily on peoples HD cameras (everybody has a smartphone now)…..the world is slowly but surely going through an ‘Awakening’ process and people like us at U.I.P and yourselves are helping to speed up this process – the Waking of the Masses!
The truth is in the skies above us!
It is clear, and like most leading politicians, Barrack Obama is an extremely good actor! Just look at his delivery as he says these words below;
“The Aliens won’t let it happen.”
“They [Aliens] exercise strict control over us.”
“I can’t reveal anything.”
“That’s what we’re instructed to say.”
No matter how very hard Obama may try to hide the truth, he can’t hide the truth by acting skills. far too many of us in our millions, perhaps even BILLIONS already KNOW the truth about the Alien Beings presence here on Planet Earth, and guess what Obama and co, that number is only going to increase daily and there is NOTHING you can do to stop this!
Overwhelming Evidence Aliens Do Actually Exist
It’s important that if you actually take the time to properly study eyewitness testimonies, and also listen to visitation/abduction accounts and read the vast amount of declassified military documents on this topic, you will most definitely discover a HUGE amount of evidence which not only confirms the existence of ETs, but also that they have been here for a very long time and have already interacted with humanity – some of these Alien Beings have actually entered into set arrangements with our Governments, but sadly NOT in the best interest of humanity…..purely for greed and ‘control’ of the Elite!
Here is a sample of the thousands of credible sources, many of which come from hardened rational military men, who confirm that aliens do exist among us:
Former Command Sergeant Bob Dean who worked at SHAPE (Supreme Headquarters Allied Power Europe), the centre of NATO, who personally had many experiences of interacting with Nordic ETs. He reveals that the Shadow Government is deeply involved with ETs in underground facilities (e.g. with the jumproom connecting S4 [Area 51] in Nevada with Pine Gap in Australia) and how there is a big battle between the NWO factions that favour disclosure and the ones that vehemently oppose it.
Veteran Clifford Stone, who had a personal relationship with a green ET called Korona and has numerous alien tales. Some of these many involved his time in Vietnam where he went on UFO crash recovery missions. He even helped an alien escape from military custody! Stone has publicly stated many times there are 57 alien species already interacting with humanity in some way or another.
ET Contactee Alex Collier, who has had a long ongoing relationship with evolved beings from the Andromedan Galaxy. Throughout his many video interviews he discusses, in astonishing detail, the ET presence on Earth, the Reptilian control of our government and institutions, the truth about our Moon, bases on Mars, human treaties signed with evil alien races, the Government selling us out for greed and technology and many other topics.
Former US military man Phil Schneider, a brave whistleblower who not only encountered alien beings underground, but also got into a gun fight with them – killing one and wounding another. He was a geologist, structural engineer and underground tunneling expert who participated in the construction of many deep underground cities and bases in North America. In his many video presentations he describes in detail these cities, tunnels and bases, the Government’s secret deal with hostile ETs and advanced alien technology being used by secret US agencies.
ET Contactee Billy Meier, who was one of the first prolific contact stories. Meier was reportedly contacted by an extraterrestrial named Semjase who claimed to be from the Pleiades. She allowed him to take over 1000 clear daytime pictures of her craft and others like it as well as live video – in the 1970s before computers and Photoshop were widespread, so fakery would have been difficult or impossible.
Former US Air Force officer Charles Hall who became familiar with Areas 53 and 54 (called “Dreamland”) and the Dogbone Lake field where the ETs landed their craft. He actually lived with a certain species, which he describes as tall, thin, with large eyes and transparent hair, and with the ability to dress and look like humans, and to grow again once they get old.
Former US Air Force officer Bill Holden who had many UFO and ET experiences, including several encounters with alien beings and UFO craft demonstrations. He witnessed 2 Greys in jumpsuits, and a flying double-saucer UFO emerge from water without a splash. He reveals how relations between aliens and the US government are both on-going and extensive.
Former Canadian Defence Minister Paul Hellyer, A former defence minister has accused world leaders of concealing the presence of aliens. Paul Hellyer, who was a Canadian minister from 1963 to 1967, is now urging world powers to release what he believes to be hidden data on UFOs. ‘Much of the media won’t touch [the documents]’, he said during a keynote speech at the Disclosure Canada Tour at the University of Calgary.
There are MANY cases of other ET contacts which include;
Simon Parkes, Arizona Wilder, Whitley Strieber, Mark Richards, Maurizio Cavallo, Ernie Sears, Bonnie Meyer, Alec Newald, Jonathan Reed, James Casbolt, Kim Carlsberg, Douglas Taylor, Travis Walton and Stan Romanek are also worth investigating, not to mention those who are believed to have seen or worked on UFOs, such as Bob Lazar and U.S. Airforce Captain Robert Salas etc etc etc (probably missing a fair few!).
Researchers Bringing The Truth About ET Reality
There are now numerous credible researchers around the world who have spent their lives studying the ET phenomenon. Take for example Roger Leir, an expert on alien implants; Ann Eller, who worked with the father of UFO and Alien research, Dr. J. Allen Hynek, and who served as Hynek’s personal secretary; and Professor David Jacobs who has fascinating evidence of a disturbing ET agenda of building a hybrid human-alien race. Or, listen to Barbara Lamb, Stan Friedman, Bill Cooper, Mary Rodwell, Timothy Good, Steven Bassett, Steven Greer, Linda Moulton Howe or Philip Corso.
Another person of particular interest is the late Dr. Karla Turner, who investigated the ET abduction phenomenon for decades and collected massive testimonial evidence of the existence of grey and reptilian ETs. Many people have said that she was murdered because of the truth she told and the knowledge she knew! These are all brave people risking their life for the TRUTH!
We Have Been Helped
Here is a quote from Dr. Herman Oberth, a NASA Space Scientist, who said this in 1972. Not much more needs saying after this:
“Today, we cannot produce machines that fly the same as UFOs do. They are flying by means of artificial fields of Gravity. This would explain the sudden changes of directions. This hypothesis would also explain the piling-up of these discs into a Cylindrical or cigar shaped “Mothership” upon leaving the Earth. Because it is in this fashion, that only one field of gravity be required for all the flying saucers. We cannot take credit for our record advancement in certain scientific fields alone. We have been HELPED. And we have been helped by the people of other WORLDS.” Not all ETs are “bad”. Not all are “good”. There are countless species, and motivations within those species, for us to make many generalizations. There is a whole universe of hominoid beings out there waiting for us to end the planetary secrecy and take our place in the galactic community. However, it’s not going to happen until a critical mass can discern the truth, hiding in plain sight.”
U.I.P SUMMARY
One thing is for sure, not all ET Beings are bad and not all are good!(a bit like Human Beings!) It is clear that there are countless, possibly endless amount of species out there in the Infinite Universe, and I guess the different species have their very own motivations for us to make many generalizations.
Out there, in the vastness of ‘unknown’ there is an entire universe of hominoid beings waiting for us to end the planetary secrecy and take our place within the galactic community. But, and it is a big BUT, this is NOT going to happen until a significant mass of this planets population can decipher the truth, which hiding in plain view from us all.
One other thing, it is becoming clear by the sheer amount of UFO sightings being seen around the world (of course some will be hoaxes) that some of the ET’s are potentially trying to force their very own disclosure….Together as one we can force our own Disclosure!
I salute all of the brave Truth seekers out there and the people in the know who have helped to push for the Truth.

4D Printing” Creates Objects That Change Shape
4D Printing” Creates Objects That Change Shape
IN BRIEF
Scientists improved upon 3D printing technology by adding another dimension, time. By modeling the natural behavior of plants, they have created objects that can shift their shape.
ADDING ANOTHER DIMENSION TO 3D
Drawing inspiration from how plants change shape in response to environmental stimuli, Harvard scientists from the Wyss Institute and John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have developed a novel approach in 3D printing that allows the printed objects to also shift their structures.
Wherein most 3D printers are designed to create objects that have to remain rigid in structure and shape, 4D printing, as it is called, allows the 3D printed objects to change their shape and structure through time thus adding the additional dimension, time. A demonstration of this technology using hydrogel composite structures, a type of structure that adheres to water, shows that it changes shape upon immersion in water.
In their study in Nature Materials, the authors were able to utilize real life examples of plants’ leaves, tendrils, and flowers responding to external factors to develop a mathematical framework on how the 4D printed objects will respond in water.
Aside from this, the object was able to change its structure by aligning cellulose fibers in the composite ink during printing. This technique allows for the object to have anisotropic properties which means that, instead of having uniform properties throughout the object, it instead has directional properties similar to that of wood.
This quality of anisotropy, which allows wood to be chopped easier along the grain rather than across it, is also what provides the flexibility of the 4D printed objects to swell and change shape.
TRANSFORMING 3D PRINTING
While the current demonstration simply showed an object swelling like an orchid in water, the potentials are endless. In a Harvard Gazette report, A. Sydney Gladman, a co-lead author of the study, emphasized the techniques adaptability. By utilizing a composite ink, this allows the technique to be easily adapted in current 3D printers with minimal modifications.
“Using one composite ink printed in a single step, we can achieve shape-changing hydrogel geometries containing more complexity than any other technique, and we can do so simply by modifying the print path,” said Gladman. “What’s more, we can interchange different materials to tune for properties such as conductivity or biocompatibility.”
The mathematical modelling also resolves the “inverse problem” of 3D printing which is determining the printing toolpath or the process of the object will be printed. By using 4D printing and their model, they are instead able to reverse engineer the needed properties of the object to attain its final shape. The authors expect that 4D printing may hold potential applications smart textiles, biomedical devices, and even tissue engineering.
UFO Recorded at High Altitude Over the Netherlands
UFO Recorded at High Altitude Over the Netherlands
A bizarre UFO was seen hovering over the Netherlands on January 12, 2016 at high altitude.
One local man managed to film the flying object and then report back to MUFON for further investigation.
"I was on my way to the car with my girlfriend, when we suddenly saw a bright moving light up in the sky, the witness reported.
It wasn’t an airplane and it sure wasn’t a satellite. This object was changing speed constantly and it wasn’t moving in a straight line. Luckily that we caught it on camera!"
After closely analyzing the video, several flight anomalies were indeed identified. The craft’s flight path is changing abruptly, also the speed of the UFO is fluctuating, going from fast to slow and so on. A peculiar glow is also noticed, similar to the bright orbs reported worldwide. However, since the pulsing is observed only when zooming in, it’s likely that it occurred as a result of the camera not being held in a stable position.
Hypothesis on this one vary from the ISS orbiting around Earth to police drones surveilling the community. From our perspective, a drone scenario is unlikely since the UFO appears at a really high altitude. Apart from this, if it were a drone with led lights attached, we would clearly see a specific blinking pattern and also colored lights.
Could this be the International Space Station seen from ground level? Or is it rather another example of an orb-UFO?

The Pinwheel Galaxy and Comet Catalina shine in this skywatcher image. Astrophotographer Greg Hogan took this image on Jan. 18, 2016 from Kathleen, GA.
"I was clouded out the previous days, so had to zoom out with a prime lens at 85mm to get a widefield shot. It still came out pretty good I think," Hogan wrote in an email to Space.com.
The Pinwheel Galaxy, which is also known as Messier 101 or NGC 5457, is a spiral galaxy 21 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. The galaxy was first discovered by Pierre Méchain on March 27, 1781. Charles Messier confirmed its position and it was included in the astronomer's famous Messier Catalogue as one of the final entries.

If you've had clear skies the last few nights, you probably enjoyed the sight of the nearly full moon rising in the east around dusk. Tonight (Jan. 27), the moon will not be alone; it will rise with the planet Jupiter just a short distance above it.
Over the next few weeks, Jupiter will rise a few minutes earlier each night, until it reaches opposition on March 8, meaning it will be directly opposite the sun in the sky, and visible the whole night. The moon, meanwhile, will rise about 50 minutes later each night due to its orbit around the Earth. Tonight, it rises around 9:30 p.m. your local time, possibly slightly earlier or later depending on your location. [12 Must-See Skywatching Events of 2016]
Jupiter is the second brightest planet in the sky, outshone only by Venus, which is currently rising just before the sun. So if you go out in the late evening, the brightest thing you will see, other than the moon, will be Jupiter.
This planet can be enjoyed by anyone, whether or not they have optical assistance. With the naked eye, Jupiter is just a point of light, but it shines as brightly as the headlight on a locomotive. If you look carefully in binoculars, you can spot the tiny dots of Jupiter's brightest moons alongside the planet; it helps if you steady the binoculars on a tripod.
In a telescope, Jupiter really comes into its own. The planet's four brightest moons change positions, hour by hour and night by night, but almost always in a straight line east and west of the gas giant. At times, they move in front of or behind the planet, and frequently they cast their shadows on Jupiter, creating tiny, black dots. Even in the smallest telescope, you should be able to see a couple of dusky cloud belts on Jupiter's face. Larger telescopes reveal a wealth of detail, including multiple narrow belts.
Then there is Jupiter's Great Red Spot, a gigantic storm in the planet's cloudy atmosphere. The spot is several times larger in diameter than planet Earth, and has been tracked by astronomers for hundreds of years. Its color has varied over the years, at times brick red and at others totally pale so that it almost vanishes against the background clouds, only detectable by the gap it makes in Jupiter's South Equatorial Belt.
Currently the Great Red Spot is a difficult object to see in most amateur telescopes, its color a pale salmon pink. I've been unable to see it in anything smaller than a 6-inch-aperture (15.2 centimeters) telescope. If you go looking for this feature, remember that because of the planet's rotation, the Great Red Spot is on view only during the half of the rotation when the spot is pointing toward Earth. Even then, it must be fairly close to the center of Jupiter's disk to avoid getting hidden by the hazy edges of Jupiter's atmosphere.
If you use a planetarium program like Starry Night to determine when the spot is visible, be sure that the program has up-to-date data on the spot's position, as the feature drifts back and forth in longitude over time. That's because the spot is an atmospheric feature, not tied to any particular location on the planet below.
If you look again later in the week, the two bodies will no longer be together. Jupiter is rising a few minutes earlier every night, while the moon rises 50 minutes later.
Jupiter and the moon rising together should make for some excellent photo opportunities. Be sure to zoom in on the two objects to simulate the "moon illusion" seen with the naked eye, but which doesn't photograph well without extra magnification. Under this illusion, the brain sees a rising moon as much larger than it really is, but cameras are not fooled in the same way.

Note from The Black Vault: Playing off the popularity of the return of The X-Files, the CIA has created a few pages online showcasing their UFO documents, and even creating a, “How To Investigate a Flying Saucer” guide. This guide has been archived below for research purposes, in case the online page ever disappears or is taken offline. It is not edited in any way.
Southbound on a lone desert highway, police officer Lonnie Zamora was in pursuit of a speeding car outside the town of Socorro, New Mexico, when he was startled by a loud roar! Seconds later, he saw a large flame rise from the ground and pierce the sky above a remote patch of desert southwest of the highway. Fearing a nearby dynamite shack might have exploded, Zamora let the speeding car go, turned right, and drove down a bumpy gravel road that ran alongside the shack.
Zamora’s cruiser clunked along the rocky road until he came upon a steep hill. Rising from behind the hill was a smokeless fire that glowed in a funnel of blue and orange tinted flames. The hill obscured the origin of the flames, so Zamora attempted to drive up it. His cruiser’s tires slipped and swayed on the loose gravel, but after three attempts, Zamora finally made it to the top.
A shiny object, the size of a sedan, sparkled in the late afternoon sunshine about 150-200 yards from where Zamora was perched on the hilltop. At first glance, he thought it was a car overturned in an arroyo (dry creek bed), but when he drove closer, it appeared to be aluminum in color, not chrome, and oval-shaped like a football.
Zamora drove toward the object, along the hill’s crest, for about 50 feet and then stopped the car. He radioed back to the sheriff’s office that he would be busy checking on a wreck “down in the arroyo,” and then he descended on foot down the hill toward the object.
Roooaaarrr! Zamora was startled again by a very loud rumble, not exactly like a blast but also not steady like a jet engine. It started at a low frequency, with the pitch slowly rising. The flame appeared to be coming from the underside of the object, glowing light blue on top and orange at the bottom. Zamora panicked, afraid the object was about to blow.
He ran to take cover but turned back to look at the object as he fled. He noticed a red symbol on the side, shaped like a point that was about 2 inches high and 2 inches wide. The object was smooth, a shiny white aluminum, with no visible windows or doors. There appeared to be two metal legs, slanted outward, supporting it.
Zamora sprinted to his car, hit his leg on the fender, and crashed to the ground. He got up, ran another 25 feet or so, and when he looked back again, he saw the object begin to rise.
It rose to the level of the car, then higher, about 20 to 25 feet in the air.
Zamora ran another 50 feet from his car, just over the edge of the hill, and ducked. Kneeling as close to the ground as he could, he covered his face with his arms for protection. Suddenly, the roar stopped. In the uneasy silence, Zamora lifted his head and looked.
The object sped away from him, toward the southwest, appearing to go in a straight line at about 10-15 feet off the ground. It cleared the eight foot tall dynamite shack by about three feet and then continued in a southwesterly direction, until it went over the high desert mountains and disappeared…
Hector Quintanilla, the last chief officer of the US Air Force’s famous UFO investigation program, Project BLUE BOOK, was in charge of the Zamora case. His team was convinced that Zamora was telling the truth, and despite an extremely thorough investigation, they were unable to locate the object or its origins. In an article for Studies in Intelligence called, “The Investigation of UFO’s,” Quintanilla says that the Zamora sighting is “the best-documented case on record.” It remains unsolved.
Project BLUE BOOK was based at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio. Between 1947 and 1969, the Air Force recorded 12,618 sightings of strange phenomena — 701 of which remain “unidentified” like the Zamora case. Although the CIA was not directly affiliated with Project BLUE BOOK, the Agency did play a large role in investigating UFOs in the late 1940s and early 1950s, which led to the creation of several studies, panels, and programs. Former CIA Chief Historian, Gerald K. Haines, wrote an in-depth article looking at the Agency’s role in studying the UFO phenomenon for Studies in Intelligence. In his article,“CIA’s Role in the Study of UFOs, 1947-90,” Haines says that “while the Agency’s concern over UFOs was substantial until the early 1950s, CIA has since paid only limited and peripheral attention to the phenomena.”
With over 20 years of investigations, from the late 1940s until Project BLUE BOOK’s termination in 1969, the CIA and USAF have learned a thing or two about how to investigate a UFO sighting. While most government officials and scientists now dismiss flying saucer reports as a quaint relic of the 1950s and 1960s, there’s still a lot that can be learned from the history and methodology of “flying saucer intelligence.”
10 Tips When Investigating a Flying Saucer:
1. Establish a Group To Investigate and Evaluate Sightings
Before December 1947, there was no specific organization tasked with the responsibility for investigating and evaluating UFO sightings. There were no standards on how to evaluate reports coming in, nor were there any measurable data points or results from controlled experiment for comparison against reported sightings.
To end the confusion, head of the Air Force Technical Service Command, General Nathan Twining, established Project SIGN (initially named Project SAUCER) in 1948 to collect, collate, evaluate, and distribute within the government all information relating to such sightings, on the premise that UFOs might be real (although not necessarily extraterrestrial) and of national security concern. Project SIGN eventually gave way to Project GRUDGE, which finally turned into Project BLUE BOOK in 1952.
2. Determine the Objectives of Your Investigation
The CIA’s concern over UFOs was substantial until the early 1950s because of the potential threat to national security from these unidentified flying objects. Most officials did not believe the sightings were extraterrestrial in origin; they were instead concerned the UFOs might be new Soviet weapons.
The Project BLUE BOOK team, according to Quintanilla, defined three main objectives for their investigations:
To determine if UFO phenomena present a threat to the security of the US;
To determine if UFO phenomena exhibit any technological advances which could be channeled into US research and development; and
To explain or identify the stimuli which caused the observer to report a UFO.
Although BLUE BOOK, like previous investigative projects on the topic, did not rule out the possibility of extraterrestrial phenomena, their research and investigations focused primarily on national security implications, especially possible Soviet technological advancements.
3. Consult With Experts
Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, various projects, panels, and other studies were led or sponsored by the US government to research the UFO phenomenon. This includes the CIA-sponsored 1953 Scientific Advisory Panel on Unidentified Flying Objects, also known as the “Robertson Panel.” It was named after the noted physicist H.P. Robertson from the California Institute of Technology, who helped put together the distinguished panel of nonmilitary scientists to study the UFO issue.
Project BLUE BOOK also frequently consulted with outside experts, including: astrophysicists, Federal Aviation officials, pilots, the US Weather Bureau, local weather stations, academics, the National Center for Atmospheric Research, NASA, Kodak (for photo analysis), and various laboratories (for physical specimens). Even the famous astronomer Carl Sagan took part in a panel to review Project BLUE BOOK’s findings in the mid-1960s. The report from that panel concluded that “no UFO case which represented technological or scientific advances outside of a terrestrial framework” had been found, but the committee did recommend that UFOs be studied intensively to settle the issue once and for all.
4. Create a Reporting System To Organize Incoming Cases
The US Air Force’s Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) developed questionnaires to be used when taking reports of possible UFO sightings, which were used throughout the duration of Project BLUE BOOK. The forms were used to provide the investigators enough information to determine what the unknown phenomenon most likely was. The duration of the sighting, the date, time, location, or position in the sky, weather conditions, and the manner of appearance or disappearance are essential clues for investigators evaluating reported UFO sightings.
Project BLUE BOOK categorized sightings according to what the team suspected they were attributable to:Astronomical (including bright stars, planets, comets, fireballs, meteors, and auroral streamers);Aircraft (propeller aircraft, jet aircraft, refueling missions, photo aircraft, advertising aircraft, helicopters); Balloons;Satellites; Other (including missiles, reflections, mirages, searchlights, birds, kites, spurious radar indications, hoaxes, fireworks, and flares); Insufficient Data; and finally,Unidentified.
According to Quintanilla, “a sighting is consideredunidentified when a report apparently contains all the data necessary to suggest a valid hypothesis, but its description cannot be correlated with any known object or phenomenon.”
5. Eliminate False Positives
Eliminate each of the known and probable causes of UFO sightings, leaving a small portion of “unexplained” cases to focus on. By ruling out common explanations, investigators can focus on the truly mysterious cases.
Some common explanations for UFO sightings discovered by early investigations included: misidentified aircrafts (the U-2, A-12, and SR-71 flights accounted for more than half of all UFO reports from the late 1950s and most of the 1960s); celestial events; mass hysteria and hallucination; “war hysteria;” “midsummer madness;” hoaxes; publicity stunts; and the misinterpretation of known objects.
Even history can shed some light. An interesting citation found by the 1953 Robertson Panel noted that some sightings had been attributed to an older phenomenon – “Foo Fighters” – that pre-dated the modern concept of UFOs: “These were unexplained phenomena sighted by aircraft pilots during World War II in both European and Far East theaters of operation wherein ‘balls of light’ would fly near or with the aircraft and maneuver rapidly. They were believed to be electrostatic (similar to St. Elmo’s fire) or electromagnetic phenomena… but their exact cause or nature was never defined. If the term ‘flying saucers’ had been popular in 1943-1945, these objects would have been so labeled.”
6. Develop Methodology To Identify Common Aircraft and Other Aerial Phenomena Often Mistaken for UFOs
Because of the significant likelihood a common (or secret military) aircraft could be mistaken for a UFO, it’s important to know the characteristics of different types of aircraft and aerial phenomenon to evaluate against each sighting. To help investigators go through the troves of reports coming in, Project BLUE BOOK developed a methodology to determine if the UFO sighting could likely be attributable to a known aircraft or aerial phenomenon. They wrote up detailed descriptions characterizing each type of aircraft or astronomical phenomenon, including how it might be mistaken for a UFO, to help investigators evaluate the incoming reports.
7. Examine Witness Documentation
Any photographs, videos, or audio recordings can be immensely helpful in evaluating a reported UFO sighting.
A famous case examined by the Robertson Panel was the “Tremonton, Utah Sighting” of 1952, where a couple and two children traveling cross-country on State Highway 30 outside of Tremonton saw what appeared to be 10-12 bright shining objects moving westward in the sky in a rough formation. The husband was able to capture some of the objects on film.
The case was considered significant because of the “excellent documentary evidence in the form of Kodachrome motion picture films (about 1600 frames).” The Panel examined the film, case history, ATIC’s interpretation, and received a briefing from representatives of the USN Photo Interpretation Laboratory on their analysis of the film. The laboratory believed the objects were not birds, balloons, aircraft, or reflections, and therefore had to be “self-luminous.” The panel disagreed with the assessment that the objects were self-luminous, believing that if a controlled experiment was conducted, a terrestrial explanation for the sighting would be confirmed.
8. Conduct Controlled Experiments
As suggested by the Robertson Panel for investigating the Tremonton, Utah sighting (mentioned in tip #7), controlled experiments might be required to try and replicate the unknown phenomena. In the Tremonton case, the Panel suggested an experiment where scientists would photograph “pillow balloons” at different distances under similar weather conditions at the site. They believed such an experiment could help dispel the “self-luminous” theory about the objects in the film. Unfortunately, in this case, the cost of conducting such an experiment made the idea unfeasible.
9. Gather and Test Physical and Forensic Evidence
In the Zamora case (from the introduction), Quintanilla contends that during the course of the investigation and immediately thereafter, “everything that was humanly possible to verify was checked.” This included bringing in Geiger counters from Kirtland Air Force Base to test for radiation in the landing area and sending soil samples to the Air Force Materials Laboratory. “The soil analysis disclosed no foreign material. Radiation was normal for the ‘tracks’ and surrounding area. Laboratory analysis of the burned brush showed no chemicals that could have been propellant residue,” according to Quintanilla. “The findings were all together negative.” No known explanation could be found for the mysterious event.
10. Discourage False Reporting
The Robertson Panel found that the Air Force had “instituted a fine channel for receiving reports of nearly anything anyone sees in the sky and fails to understand.” This is a classic example of needing to separate the “signal from the noise.” If you have too many false or junk reports, it becomes increasingly difficult to find the few good ones worthy of investigation or attention.
The CIA in the early 1950s was concerned that because of the tense Cold War situation and increased Soviet capabilities, the Soviets could use UFO reports to ignite mass panic and hysteria. Even worse, the Soviets could use UFO sightings to overload the US air warning system so that it could not distinguish real targets from supposed UFOs.
In order to lessen the amount of false-positive reports, the Robertson Panel suggested educating the military, researchers, and even the public on how to identify objects or phenomena commonly mistaken for UFOs. For example, they recommended training enlisted, command, and research personnel on how to properly recognize unusually illuminated objects (like balloons or aircraft reflections), as well as natural phenomena (such as meteors, fireballs, mirages, or noctilucent “night” clouds). By knowing how to correctly recognize objects that were commonly mistaken for UFOs, investigators could quickly eliminate false reports and focus on identifying those sightings which remained unexplained.

New Image Reveals the Largest Concentration of Massive, Luminous Stars in the Milky Way
New Image Reveals the Largest Concentration of Massive, Luminous Stars in the Milky Way
NASA & ESA, Jesús Maíz Apellániz (Instituto de Astrofisica de Andalucia)
IN BRIEF
The new image of Trumpler 14 shows a clearer picture of what's happening in the chaotic Carina Nebula.
This new NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features the star cluster Trumpler 14, one of the largest gatherings of hot, massive, and bright stars in the Milky Way.
NASA & ESA, Jesús Maíz Apellániz (Instituto de Astrofisica de Andalucia)
Previously, Trumpler 14 was observed by ESO’s Very Large Telescope in 1994. The resulting photo is shown below.
Around 1100 open clusters have been discovered within the Milky Way, although many more are thought to exist. Trumpler 14 is one of these, located some 8000 light-years away towards the center of the Carina Nebula. At a mere 500,000 years old, it’s actually the youngest cluster within the nebula. It’s also the most populous, and seems to be forming stars at an incredible rate.
Astronomers estimate that around 2000 stars reside within Trumpler 14, ranging in size from less than one tenth to up to several tens of times the mass of the Sun. The most prominent star in Trumpler 14 is the supergiant HD 93129Aa, one of the hottest stars in our entire galaxy, and the brightest star in the image.
MAKING WAVES
These stars are quickly burning through their hydrogen, and have only a few million years of life left before they explode as supernovae. Before this happens, though, the stars are making a huge impact on their surrounding environments.
As the stars fling out high-speed particles from their surfaces, strong winds surge out into space. These winds collide with the surrounding material, causing shock waves that heat the gas to millions of degrees and trigger intense bursts of X-rays. These stellar winds also kickstart the formation of new stars by carving out cavities in nearby clouds of gas and dust. One such arc-shaped cloud is visible at the bottom of the image.
Specifically, the arc is thought to be a result of the wind flowing from the nearby star Trumpler 14 MJ 218. This star is quick. It moves through space at some 350,000 kilometers per hour, sculpting the surrounding clumps of gas and dust as it does so.
As with any young stars, this cluster could give us new insight into the star formation process. We’ll be excited to see how enhanced telescopic technology impacts the scene in another 12 years.
Micro-motor powered nanobots have delivered a nanoparticle compound directly into the gut tissue of a live mouse (Photo: Shutterstock)
IN BRIEF
In a world first, researchers from the University of California have reportedly delivered medicine directly to the stomach of a living organism using nanobots.
NANOBOTS
Scientists from the University of California are claiming that they have managed to deliver a medical payload directly into the gut tissue of a live organism using micro-motored nanobots.
Notably, the team behind the work notes that these little, microscopic machines can travel inside of the living creature and deliver the medical treatment without causing any harmful side effects related to the small bots.
Using micro-motor powered nanobots propelled by gas bubbles made from a reaction with the contents of the stomach in which they were deposited, these miniature machines have been successfully deployed in the body of a live mouse.
Image credit: Shutterstock
The tubular nanobots, which are about 20 micrometers long, 5 micrometers in diameter, and coated in zinc, are propelled by gas bubbles that are produced once the zinc reacts with the hydrochloric acid in the digestive system.
The nanobots travel at speeds of up to 60 micrometers per second and embed themselves in the stomach walls…where they remain after a full 12 hours.
MICROMACHINES
These nanobots have been previously used on organic tissue, but this marks the first time that it was tested on a living organism. The success of this test leads researchers behind the study to further explore the technology as a way to deliver targeted drugs in humans.
However, as is always the case with medical breakthroughs, treatments must undergo rigorous testing and get approval from the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) before they can be used. possible application and testing on humans will need to be studied carefully before regulatory organizations give the go-ahead.
So there is no guarantee that this will be implemented, but it is exciting research.
The study, published in the journal ACS Nano, has yet to make announcements regarding the possibility of human-based trials or when such trials may begin.

A must read book:
Bad UFOs: Critical Thinking About UFO Claims(by Robert Sheaffer)
This book covers the broad outline of contemporary Ufology….sightings, photos and videos, saucer crashes, UFO abductions, conspiracies, disclosure, etc…with everything brought up-to-date as of the date of publication (January, 2016)…..Betty and Barney Hill, the Phoenix Lights, Travis Walton, Rendlesham Forest, Roswell ‘crash’, Leslie Kean, etc. : http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AO9VZFU
In this book Sheaffer goes into the discussion of Betty and BarneyHill, the Phoenix Lights, “mystery” missiles off the coast near Los Angeles, Richard Hoagland, Steven Greer’s “Disclosure Project” and ET Contact Protocol, Trent UFO photos, Heflin UFO photos, TravisWalton, Exopolitics, Rendlesham Forest, Roswell “crash” and Roswell slides, ‘Fly UFO’ video from Chile and Leslie Kean, Whitley Strieber, “Planet X”/Nibiru and many more.
EXCELLENT REVIEW BY ERICKSON:
“No matter what you ultimately believe about UFOs, there is no doubt that critical thinking is important. There are those who urge their audiences to believe almost anything and certainly much of ufology makes an easy target. Claims about the “Roswell Slides” were readily disproven although most who were involved in it remain on the circuit today; many have concluded that Billy Meier really did not meet people from the Pleiades but his representative is still featured on talk shows or podcasts; and the times must have bypassed George Adamski because he is not even indexed here although his photos may have inspired the cover of this book. Still, it’s hard to attend any UFO conference without running into those who use hypnotic regression to uncover the latest abduction scenario or assure us that disclosure will soon be coming.
What are we to make of it all? In many ways, the phenomenon remains as much out of reach today as it did when Kenneth Arnold reported seeing objects that flew like a saucer skipping across the water. But amid all the claims, Sheaffer offers a much needed critical voice and is not afraid to take on some of the cases that are often touted: from Rendlesham Forest to the abductions of the Hills or Travis Walton.
For those who believe in UFOs as craft from another star or dimension, it is not enough to simply dismiss his work as being that of a “debunker” (the ultimate insult in many circles). Carl Sagan observed that extraordinary claims demand extraordinary proof, but regardless of the type of proof it is important to look carefully at any claim – even if that means challenging your own beliefs you will learn something in the process.
For those who who are intrigued about the subject but wonder who to believe, the book provides a good introduction that might spur your own thinking or lead to further research. Indeed, many of the topics that Sheaffer discusses are worthy of a book or two in themselves, so look upon it as a starting point for thought or discussion.
The book is written in a style that is easy to read and Sheaffer encourages your own research by suggesting Internet search terms with a bold typeface. I may not always agree with some of his conclusions – I am sure that he would not want you to accept all of his conclusions without further thought – but his research is solid and his point of view should be considered by all with an interest in the phenomenon.
UFOs have defied both skeptics and true believers but the beginning point should always be critical thought. Without that you will end up with a pile of nothing and will be exploited or manipulated in the process. To this end, Sheaffer is an interesting and entertaining guide.”

EQUATION SHOWS THAT MOST MAJOR CONSPIRACIES WOULD HAVE BEEN REVEALED BY NOW
EQUATION SHOWS THAT MOST MAJOR CONSPIRACIES WOULD HAVE BEEN REVEALED BY NOW
A physicist has calculated the probability that four widely believed conspiracy theories could have lasted this long without being uncovered. And - mathematically speaking - it's not looking good for Moon-landing deniers or anti-vaccers.
The equation revealed that for an old-fashioned cover-up to stay under-wraps for a decade, fewer than 1,000 people would need to be involved. And to remain secret for a century, the number of people 'in on it' would need to be below 125. Considering that the most popular conspiracy theories would realistically involve thousands of people, the odds aren't great.
"My results suggest that any conspiracy with over a few hundred people rapidly collapses, and big science conspiracies would not be sustainable," physicist David Grimes from the University of Oxford in the UK told The Guardian
Although Grimes's research usually focusses on cancer, he also regularly writes science stories for the media, and was inspired to conduct this study after being bombarded with emails from people believing in popular conspiracies.
"It is common to dismiss conspiracy theories and their proponents out of hand but I wanted to take the opposite approach, to see how these conspiracies might be possible," he explained. "To do that, I looked at the vital requirement for a viable conspiracy – secrecy."
He applied his equation to four big conspiracy theories: the belief that vaccines cause autism; that climate change isn't real; that the Moon landing was a hoax; and that a cure for cancer already exists, but is being hidden by big pharmaceutical companies.
Taking into account the number of people that would need to be involved to pull off each of these four scenarios, and how long they've been around, his results suggest:
-If the Moon landing was really a hoax, around 411,000 NASA employees would have known, and it would have been revealed in just 3.7 years.
-A cover-up of the link between vaccines and autism would have been exposed anywhere between 3.2 and 34.8 years after it started.
-A climate change 'fraud' would have been revealed in 3.7 to 26.8 years.
- The suppression of a cancer cure would have been leaked by someone inside big pharma in just 3.2 years.
The calculations were based upon the best-case scenario for conspirators, which means that Grimes's equation assumed that conspirators are really good at keeping secrets, and that no external investigations were going on.
To create the equation, Grimes had to first establish the probability of a cover-up being exposed over time. To do this, he considered three IRL, confirmed conspiracies, including the US National Security Agency (NSA) surveillance program that was famously uncovered by Edward Snowden after just six years.
He also factored in the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, where the cure for syphilis - penicillin - was purposefully withheld from African-American patients. That conspiracy involved up to an estimated 6,700 people, and was eventually revealed around 25 years later by one of the doctors involved.
Grimes also analysed the FBI forensic analysis scandal. All of these cases are testament to the fact that conspiracies and mass cover-ups do occur, but that they don't last very long.
"Not everyone who believes in a conspiracy is unreasonable or unthinking. I hope that by showing how eye-wateringly unlikely some alleged conspiracies are, some people will reconsider their anti-science beliefs,"explained Grimes.
"While believing the Moon landings were faked may not be harmful, believing misinformation about vaccines can be fatal."
The results have been published in PLOS One.
There's good news for Making a Murderer fanatics though - considering Grimes's calculations, it's still feasible that a handful of sheriffs in the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Office could have kept any potential framing of Stephen Avery quiet for this long. Well, more feasible than the Earth actually being flat at least - sorry, BoB
A global effort has begun — Secret files hidden from the public for decades, Detailing every ufo account, are now available to the public. We are about to uncover The truth behind these classified documents. Find out what the government doesn’t want you to know.
For millenia, it is believed that our cosmic neighbors in the Universe have sent messages for us to decode. We have struggled to understand the symbols sent to us. But now, for the first time in history an alien message has been received. This could be ground Breaking. 36 years ago two men made Contact with an unknown craft.
Tonight we will reveal it’s Meaning and the way we look at ufo encounters will change. Everything that people thought they knew about ufo’s For the last 7 years is probably wrong. Join us as we crack the alien code and it’s secrets are Unseals. Secret files hidden from the Public for decades are now available to the public. We are about to uncover the truth about these classified Documents. Find out what the government Doesn’t want you to know. “unsealed alien files.
” Exposing the biggest secret on planet earth. No evidence of alien life has been more soft after than a Message from another world. people have seen ufo’s but to Communicate with an alien, that would be the key to unlocking The secrets of life in the universe. But one historic incident stands above the rest.
The year is 1980. In the midst of the cold war, The entire war is on edge. The possibility of annihilation Sparked by america and the USSR is at an all time high this is December 1980. A period of international Tension Ronald Reagan has been elected President. This is a period that the cold War is defrosting and a danger that it might become pretty hot.
Troops are stationed at the royal air force base in the UK. Around 3:00 am on the night of December 26th, radar loses track in the woods. They notice something strange high above the forest. Radar indicated it could be a downed aircraft. Among the soldiers to witness these lights are airmen first Class boroughs and pendeston. What they find after driving Into the forest is not a downed aircraft. as I was getting out of the vehicle, it felt like there was Static electricity in the air. Things felt abnormal.
Both of us looked at each other and realized something was going on. Above the trees the two men see The silhouette of a try angular shaped craft. The object was dancing on our skin and clothes. At that point in time I knew I had an unknown object in front of me. Sergeant reaches for his Notebook to record the details of the object that was almost Six feet tall with mysterious symbols etched on the side of The craft. One of the things that sets The forest apart is this wasn’t just lights in the sky. This was a landed ufo. They both got extremely close to this object.
It had turned down in a small Clearing in the forest and Jim claims that he got so close to This thing he was able to reach out and touch it. I took my hand and ran it over the bottom all the way across. It felt like going over the smoothest of metal to like sandpaper, but then something happens That will change his life forever. Out of all of them one was larger. I decided to touch that one. I touched that symbol and I had An explosion of white light where I couldn’t see, I was Blinded. I started seeing 1′s and 0′s. They were like inside my mind’s eye. They burn into his memory leaving an imprint of an alien Code.
I think I was plain terrified. Somehow I was able to pull my hand off and stop. The craft started to move a Little bit and then it was gone in the blink of an eye. Next, the two men we witnessed the craft in the Forest reveal a shocking secret and their hunt for the truth Reveals a shocking alien contact.
It is coming this way. This is “unsealed alien Files.” Exposing the biggest secret on Planet earth. Late in the night two men Experience something in the forest. He is shaken by his experience and the vision it leaves behind. John boroughs maintains a different memory of the events Entirely. I do not remember seeing Jim walk around the craft. What I clearly remember was we Got close to something and the next thing I know it appeared to go out into the sky. But the most unexpected Difference, the time on their synchronized watches differs by almost 45 minutes. Whatever we encountered Affected our memory. At one point I looked towards Whatever was in the air could have affected our memory or Could have affected what we saw.
When they returned to base it transpired that more time had elapsed than they realized. Time it seemed not only had run on, but had maybe one at different speeds for them. This takes us to quite Extraordinary territory. But when you talk to John and Jim and people who looked at this case. Theories had bounced around. Could the ship have caused The exception of time, their search for the answer uncovers evidence that must be heard to be believed. Unsealed case file the Charles halt recording. The following evening. John boroughs meets with base Commander shalt to reexamine the site of the commander. They checked nearby trees for radiation. One of the things that came up was that the radio traffic was being recorded through the command post. The side facing the expected landing site. We were taking the sample now. That is the strongest point on The tree? yes, sir. It had gone all the way to the side of the meter. The course of the investigation changes when a Soldier on the team notices something unusual. A glowing light spotted in the distance.
There it is. What is it? I don’t know, sir. It is a strange, small red Light. Maybe a quarter to a half. There is no doubt this is genuine and it is extraordinary. You can hear the tension and fear in their voices as the ufo Approaches them. You can hear the ufo’s coming Closer. The object exploded into a Great white light and shot back out. He is thinking about this and he said was this communication? A warning? What was it? On January 13th, 1981, colonel halt writes a memorandum about The incident. In it he confirms that what they Encountered on the previous night was no figment of the Imagination but a real phenomenon.
Two pieces of evidence to support the incident was the Memo and the tape recording. But what we found out years Later was that there was a more significant piece and that was the code that he received when he touched the craft. But he was still keeping the code a secret. I was still having the codes Flashing. After I completed 16 pages I Felt great. But I wasn’t going to report That because it sounds in sane. So I kept it quiet. When he touched this the huge jolt and information somehow transferred to him. He forgot about this. Maybe he didn’t realize it was important. It was only 30 plus years he realized he was sitting on Something of the utmost significant. coming up next, we reveal the meaning mind the code in his notebook and uncover the shocking identity of the beings who sent it to us.
This is “unsealed alien files” Exposing the biggest secret on planet earth. Welcome back to “unsealed alien files. ” Retired usair force sergeant has kept a secret from the world.
Received in a vision. For 30 years these pages remained hidden until a chance Reunion with his partner in as we were going through the book he came to pages that had I said these are binary Codes. In 1974 scientists broadcast A message at a power of 1,000 kilowatts into deep space. When the message was sent up at that time it was the most Powerful message that we had sent. It was sent up in long strings of 0s and 1s. The easiest way to understand binary code is to think of it as Morse code. You put 8, 1s or 0s together and You get a band. The code watts was decided to be The universal language. It would be the easiest thing to Decipher. When we sent the message to the Heavens we gave details about the universe and details about Who we are as humanity.
If pensatan received Communication and we were able to decode it. That message could change humanity. The al yen code. In 2012 I was given six pages From his notebook. I was asked to see if there was a message inside. Nick was asked to take the First six pages and determine if in fact they meant anything at All. I was skeptical that I would Find anything. I started running them into my Translator and I was shocked to find a message. Which red latitude and longitude coordinates. When I saw the message a chill ran down my spine. I was not expecting to find anything. And here was a message that would appear to come from the Aliens if they were trying to communicate for us. The message could be in instruction or perhaps a warning A possibility made more intriguing by the numbers that Appear in the code.
It is the right number of Digits appearing somewhere on planet earth. When plotted on a map. They fall off the coast of Ireland and island once known as high procele. It has been dubbed a sort of lost land a mythical country as It were that some believe were the site of an advanced Civilization. According to legend. Those who have seen it reported a land filled with a wealthy Civilization whose architecture was filled with domes. Then the island disappeared from the map. But in the pages that followed. Continued analysis has uncovered Other coordinates around the globe. It clearly shows grid coordinates from around the Globe. United states, central America, South America, Greece, Egypt and China. Many have speculated that it points to alien ancestors on Planet earth.But there is more to this story Than we have been led to believe. many believe that this code could be the smoking gun that Blows open the whole mystery of UFO phenomenon itself.
But to fully understand the message we must answer the question who sent it to the human race and perhaps the most Shocking revelation of the encounter is that Jim believes he has the answer. Why would a race that Traveled thousands of light years play hide and seek with us, give us a binary message and why is it in English and why Does the craft have markings like the US air craft? It doesn’t point to alien. This is not a ufo. Coming up next jim exposes the creatures in the forest with An answer that will shock the world.
” Within the 16 pages of code Recorded by Jim in the forest, the most important detail may be his explanation of who gave it to him. This is not about UFOs. It doesn’t point to alien. What I seen was a craft that was us for the future. Perhaps the code is actually a message from our own species. If Jim is correct the true message of the code is an Assurance that mankind will survive well into the centuries Ahead and the revelation that UFOs on planet earth may be a Glimpse into our future this is unsealed alien files. Exposing the biggest secret on planet earth.
Maya culturen wisten ook van de planeet NIBIRU (VIDEO )
Maya culturen wisten ook van de planeet NIBIRU (VIDEO )
Niet alleen in het heden wordt er nu zomaar ineens een totaal onbekende planeet in ons zonnestelsel ontdekt, ook uit het verleden duiken steeds meer aanwijzingen op.
De Mexicaanse overheid heeft gedurende zo’n 80 jaar objecten uit de Mayatijd verborgen gehouden die hele specifieke aanwijzingen geven over buitenaardsen en meer.
De Oostenrijkse onderzoeker, auteur en spreker Klaus Dona komt regelmatig met interessante objecten.
Hele oude objecten, meestal duizenden jaren, die vaak dingen uitbeelden die volgens de bestaande regels in onze maatschappij niet mogelijk zijn. Het zijn dan ook dingen die door de mainstream archeologie maar liever worden vermeden want daar houdt men niet zo van een “inconvenient truth”.
Eén van de objecten die via Klaus Dona bekend zijn geworden is de volgende. Het is een afbeelding zo te zien op steen van duizenden jaren oud die is gevonden in centraal Mexico.
Op het kunstwerk staan afbeeldingen die gewoonweg niet anders uit te leggen zijn dan als zijnde ruimteschepen/UFO’s. Zelfs met de beste wil van de wereld is er niets anders van te maken.
In de volgende video heeft Klaus Dona te gast ene Nasim Haramein. Samen bespreken ze voor een publiek een aantal van de gevonden objecten in centraal Mexico waaronder die op het plaatje hierboven.
Haramein is nogal omstreden vanwege zijn theorieën, maar daar gaat het nu niet om, maar wel om een aantal interessante dingen waar hij komt.
Zoals dat het voor hem helemaal duidelijk is dat op één van de objecten die Dona hem laat zien de UFO’s uit zogenaamde wormgaten komen.
Een wormgat, ook wel een Einstein-Rosen brug genoemd, is een theoretische doorgang in de ruimtetijd. Hierbij zou een wormgat de mogelijkheid bieden tot het afleggen van enorme afstanden in het universum, of zelfs tussen verschillende universa, aan snelheden groter dan het licht.
Dit is natuurlijk toch wel erg interessant om dit nu juist is wat de laatste jaren veelvuldig wordt waargenomen. UFO’s die via wormgaten of dimensieportalen zoals wij ze noemen, tevoorschijn komen en weer verdwijnen.
Een ander interessant punt uit de hiernavolgende video is de uitleg van Haramein bij het hierboven getoonde object.
Volgens hem is het duidelijk dat één van UFO’s (aan de rechterkant) aankomt op aarde in de baan van een komeet. De planeet op de afbeelding is de aarde vanwege de afgebeelde atmosfeer.
De reden dat Haramein zegt dat we een komeet zien op de afbeelding uit Mexico is vanwege de elliptische omloopbaan.
Als we vervogens kijken naar de eveneens elliptische omloopbaan zoals die begin jaren tachtig door de astronoom Dr. Robert Harrington werd getekend, van de planeet Nibiru dan zien we een verbluffende overeenkomst.
Het zou ook niet echt logisch zijn voor die oude Mayaculturen om een komeet af te beelden. Kometen zijn er altijd geweest en zullen er waarschijnlijk altijd zijnen dus op zich niet zo veel bijzonders.
Wat wel bijzonder is, is dat een planeet die eens in de zoveel jaar langskomt naast alle ellende ons ook weer in contact brengt met de buitenaardsen die waarschijnlijk verantwoordelijk zijn voor onze creatie.
Zo zien we misschien op een kunstwerk uit een ver verleden de antwoorden voor de nabije toekomst. Filmmaker John Gress was vergevorderd met het maken van een film over de Anunnaki welke om onbekende redenen nooit is uitgekomen en waar de betrokkenen op mysterieuze wijze geheel uit beeld verdwenen. Hij gaf kort voor het geplande verschijnen van zijn film een interview met een Nederlands televisiestation.
Is de afbeelding uit Mexico misschien een boodschap die ons laat zien dat UFO’s gebruikmaken van dimensieportalen en dat ze, onder andere, afkomstig zijn van een planeet die naar de onze gaat komen in een elliptische omloopbaan?
Het is natuurlijk ook niet voor niets dat één van de meest bijzondere astronomen ooit op deze wereld, Carlos Munoz Ferrada, de planeet Nibiru een cometa-planeta noemde, zoals wij eerder schreven:
Voor het eerst zien we hier fysiek, goed onderbouwd bewijs, wat ons betreft, over het daadwerkelijk bestaan van Nibiru, deze cometa-planeta. Overweldigend wordt het voor ons omdat wat deze man al in 1940 berekende alle andere serieuze theorieën, voorspellingen, channelings, verslagen, visoenen, overleveringen, legendes en verhalen ondersteunt. Dit is het eerste serieuze wetenschappelijke bewijs van het bestaan van een onbekende komeet-planeet in ons zonnestelsel. Jammer dat het zo lang heeft liggen onderstoffen. Zegt het voort!
Enkele dagen geleden schreven wij een artikel over dat er onlangs bekend is gemaakt dat er een onbekende planeet in ons zonnestelsel is ontdekt en dat deze al veel eerder is ontdekt zoals dat bleek uit een krantenartikel in de Washington Post in december 1983.
Wij ontvingen hierop de volgende reactie van Evert Jan Poorterman uit Brummen (Gelderland), auteur op deze site:
De genoemde planeet (die in 1983 al ontdekt zou zijn...) is al in 1978 door twee astronomen van het Marine-Observatorium in Washington ontdekt.
Zecharia Sitchin heeft hen, meteen na de publicatie in 1978, reeds bezocht. Hij sprak met hen en overhandigde hen zijn boek; ‘De Twaalfde Planeet’ en reeds vijf jaren later hadden de Amerikanen, samen met Nederland, reeds IRAS in elkaar geknutseld en de ruimte ingestuurd... met als bedoeling ‘warmtebronnen’ te gaan zoeken.
IRAS was het gevolg van het contact tussen Sitchin en de twee astronomen. Dit als aanvulling op jullie bericht.
Sitchin schrijft dit voor in zijn boek (de eerste druk in het Nederlands – Uitgeverij Mirananda, Wassenaar, uit 1980), vier jaren na de verschijning van het boek in Amerika.
IRAS was voor meer dan 50% een Nederlands project... en gezien de relatie Nederland-Anunnaki-Marduk, geen toeval... en ook niet omdat de VS/USA/Amerika nog steeds een kolonie is van Holland.
De banden (achter de schermen uiteraard – zijn zeer nauw).
Every August, the night sky is peppered with little bits of comet debris in what we call the annual Perseid meteor shower. In 2016, the Perseids will peak on Aug. 12 and 13, with up to 100 meteors per hour possible for observers with clear, dark skies, according to NASA. The Perseids are bits of the comet Swift-Tuttle and often create the most amazing meteor shower of the year.
Here are 10 cool facts you can use to impress friends and family late at night or early in the morning while watching for shooting stars:
Comet Swift-Tuttle, whose debris creates the Perseids, is the largest object known to make repeated passes near Earth. Its nucleus is about 6 miles (9.7 kilometers) across, roughly equal to the object that wiped out the dinosaurs.
Back in the early 1990s, astronomer Brian Marsden calculated that Swift-Tuttle might actually hit Earth on a future pass. More observations quickly eliminated all possibility of a collision. Marsden found, however, that the comet and Earth might experience a cosmic near miss (about a million miles) in 3044.
Perseid meteoroids (which is what they're called while in space) are fast. They enter Earth's atmosphere (and are then called meteors) at roughly 133,200 mph (60 kilometers per second) relative to the planet. Most are the size of sand grains; a few are as big as peas or marbles. Almost none hit the ground, but if one does, it's called a meteorite.
When a Perseid particle enters the atmosphere, it compresses the air in front of it, which heats up. The meteor, in turn, can be heated to more than 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit (1,650 Celsius). The intense heat vaporizes most meteors, creating what we call shooting stars. Most become visible at around 60 miles up (97 kilometers). Some large meteors splatter, causing a brighter flash called a fireball, and sometimes an explosion that can often be heard from the ground.
Comet Swift-Tuttle has many comet kin. Most originate in the distant Oort cloud, which extends nearly halfway to the next star. The vast majority never visit the inner solar system. But a few, like Swift-Tuttle, have been gravitationally booted onto new trajectories, possibly by the gravity of a passing star long ago.
Perseid meteoroids (and if you've been following along, you know these are things in space before they hit Earth's atmosphere) are anywhere from 60 to 100 miles apart, even at the densest part of the river of debris left behind by comet Swift-Tuttle. That river, in fact, is more like many streams, each deposited during a different pass of the comet on its 130-year orbit around the Sun. The material drifts through space and, in fact, orbits the Sun on roughly the same path as the comet while also spreading out over time.
As Earth rotates, the side facing the direction of its orbit around the Sun tends to scoop up more space debris. This part of the sky is directly overhead at dawn. For this reason, the Perseids and other meteor showers (and also random shooting stars in general) are usually best viewed in the predawn hours.
Comet Swift-Tuttle was last seen in 1992, an unspectacular pass through the inner solar system that required binoculars to enjoy. Prior to that, it had last been seen in the year it was "discovered" by American astronomers Lewis Swift and Horace Tuttle, 1862. Abraham Lincoln was president.
Swift-Tuttle's orbit has been traced back nearly 2,000 years and is now thought to be the same comet that was observed in 188 AD and possibly even as early as 69 BC.
Swift-Tuttle is due back in 2126 (as you know now, it won't hit us) and astronomers think it might become a spectacular naked-eye comet like Hale-Bopp. If historical calculations are correct (see Fact #9) then the 2126 appearance will mark the comet's 3rd millennium of human observation, assuming someone is in fact around to see it.

Radar Analysis and Computation Worksheet Hanford, WA sighting of Large Orange Objects October 18, 2015 Prepared by William Puckett UFO Investigator and Meteorologist
Background: 2 Washington State Department of Corrections (DOC) Officers saw bright orange lights for around 50 seconds between 9:52 and 9:57 PM on Oct 18, 2015. The lights were sighted in a southwesterly direction. The lights were larger than yard lights and were about 25 to 30 degrees above the horizon.
The officers were traveling south on Highway 395 between Connell and Mesa, WA.
James Clarkson MUFON Director for Washington State received the sighting report and requested assistance with analysis of radar data. In response to this request I wrote a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requesting aviation radar data for the Pasco, WA (Tri-cities) area.
I received the radar data submission from the FAA about 2 months later (December 18, 2015). The FAA provided the data that I requested.
FIGURE ONE – WITNESS & LOCATIONS OF 2 RADAR SITES.
Notes on Radar Data: The radar data were received for Pasco, WA Traffic Control and a NTAP (National Transportation Analysis Program) was also received. The NTAP included a long range radar from Fossil, Oregon which is about 100 miles south of Pasco, WA and the Pasco, WA Traffic Control radar. (See Figure One to the left).
The closest returns on radar were about 18 miles to the southwest (near Pasco, WA airport). (See Figure Two below.) The interesting thing about the data in Figure Two is that the Pasco radar report listed that returns were “target reports.” This suggests that data were filtered and weather returns, gr0und traffic, birds and radar angels were removed. This suggests that the remaining returns were actual moving aerial targets. All of the primary returns are shown in Figure Two below. A typical “unfiltered” radar map is shown in Figure Three below. The radar map in Figure Three is for Albany, New York. You can see A “conglomerate” of returns and it is difficult to determine real moving targets while Figure Two shows small patterns of returns.
We can’t definitively say for sure if the radar picked up the objects seen by the witnesses, but we can say that radar returns were in the direction (southwest) and at the time (9:50 to 10 PM) that the witnesses saw the objects. The radar returns were around 18 miles from the estimated witness location and near the Pasco radar. (See Figure Four below.) Figure Four shows the area of returns and a zoom in showing the speed and direction of movement of the returns.
The zoom in box to the left is for returns detected from 9:50 to 9:51 PM. For the box to the left there were six radar returns in sequence. The target was moving slowly east, then abruptly changes direction to the south-southwest at a higher speed and then turned east-southeast at original speed (38 MPH). One can’t say for sure if each return represents the same target, but the targets were in sequence with each turn of the radar antenna. The targets were not detected after 9:51 PM.
FIGURE TWO – ALL RETURNS 9:30 TO 10 PM – OCT 18, 2015.
The zoom in box to the right shows returns from 9:54 to 9:55 PM. The box to the right fits more closely with the witness observation time. Again the speed of the target is slow (38 to 48 MPH) and moving to the west-southwest. The target then turned direction to the northwest and nearly increased it’s speed tenfold. Again we can’t say for sure if this is one target, but it fits with the radar antenna rotation sequence. The direction of movement (westerly direction ) fits with what the witnesses saw. The targets were no longer detected after 9:55 PM.
Of course the targets could have been multiple targets, but may have showed up as one target on the radar scope if they were close together. The witnesses observed multiple targets.
There were also returns noted in the same area observed by the witnesses before the sighting time, but the witnesses would not have been in position to observe the returns.
Doppler weather radar data were collected from Portland, Oregon and Spokane, Washington. Both of these radars reach the Pasco, WA area. Some light showers were observed a few hours prior to the sighting. Skies were clear at Pasco Airport at the time of the sighting. The Doppler radar maps did not show anything unusual. The radar sites did show some scattered showers, but the area was well removed from the sighting area. However, Doppler radars are not designed to detect aircraft. The radars have a narrow beam width (one degree) which means that objects will not be detected unless they happen to fly through the narrow beam.
FIGURE THREE – MAP OF ALL PRIMARY RADAR RETURNS ALBANY, NY 9/5/2015.
The discussion below makes the assumption that the object(s) seen by the witnesses were detected by radar:
One of the officers said that his thumb would cover up the object. A thumb has a width of 2 arc degrees. (The moon has a width of 30 arc minutes which is about 25% the size of a thumb in apparent width.) Let’s assume that the object had a width of 1 arc degrees:
Using trigonometry the width of the object would be around 1,650 feet if what the witnesses saw was detected by radar. For comparison purposes the length of a 747 aircraft is 231 feet with a wingspan of 211 feet.
The witnesses thought that the object(s) were at an elevation of 20 to 30 degrees. For computations we will assume that the elevation was 25 degrees. If we assume that the primary radar returns belonged to the object we can say the following:
Using trigonometry if the radar returns represented the object, the elevation would have just over 44,000 feet.
If the returns represent what the witnesses saw the objects would have been quite large and would have been very visible from the Pasco, WA area. The fact that the time of the sighting was late (around 10 PM on a Sunday night before the week) and the fact that the objects were only visible for a short time may have resulted in fewer (in any) witnesses. Also there is a possibility that the objects may have appeared larger to the witnesses due to light scattering in the atmosphere which can make objects appear bigger. This is particularly true if objects are lower on the horizon (25 degrees or lower).
FIGURE FOUR – MAP & ZOOM IN OF AREA OF RADAR RETURNS.
Conclusion and Summary:
2 DOC officers saw 2 large orange objects to the Southwest while returning home from work around 10 PM on October 18, 2015. The officers were near Connell, WA and were returning to the Tri-Cities area. The officers had never before or have since seen the lights.
The lights were near the Hanford Nuclear Facility in Richland, Washington.
Aviation radar data were heavily filtered which eliminates most superfluous returns (birds, weather, ground targets, angels, etc.) Radar targets were detected in the direction and times when the witnesses saw the objects. The distance was large (around 18 miles).
The radar targets were only visible for 2 periods of time (9:50-9:51 PM & 9:54-9:55 PM) of around one minute. This is consistent with the brief time that the witnesses saw the objects. The radar targets were in a southwesterly direction which is where the witnesses saw the objects.
The targets were moving in a westerly direction at speeds of 38 to 48 MPH and then accelerated to over 300 MPH before vanishing from the scope. The radar detected this from 9:54 to 9:55 PM. This is consistent with the direction of movement reported by the witnesses and closest to the time (9:52 to 9:57 PM).
If the targets represent what the witnesses saw the objects would have flying around 44,000 feet and would have been over 1,500 feet in width.
The witnesses saw multiple targets. Perhaps the targets were so close to one another that the radar only painted one return?
The targets were close to Pasco Airport. One would think that others would have witnessed the objects if the radar targets represented what the witnesses saw due to their large size and proximity to the Pasco area.

UFO Causes Explosion Over Colima Volcano, Jan 3, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: January 3, 2016 Location of sighting: Colima Volcano, Mexico This long UFO was caught over Colima Volcano on Jan 3. The UFO passes over and through the lava shot up from the mouth of the volcano. As it gets above the mouth, there is a bust of light and all goes black. The UFO then flies away. I believe that as the UFO went over the mouth, it transported someone or something to or from the underground base below the volcano. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com

If drone agriculture takes off — and there’s good reason to think it will — we’ll be spending a lot more time looking at farmland from the air. That’s great news for farmers looking to increase the output of their fields or minimize the negative effects of too much fertilizer. That’s bad news for people who want to preserve the mystery of crop circles, mainstays of pop alien mythology which have alwaysbeen made in pretty much the same way they are currently created — by guys with surveying tape and wooden boards.
Eyes in the Sky
A surprising amount of drone research comes out of the American heartland, and that’s because many of those institutions have deep agricultural roots. Nikolaos Papanikolopoulos, a roboticist at the University of Minnesota, told Inverse in December that a major reason he wants to develop small, solar-powered dronesis to give farmers a tool that doesn’t have to come down frequently. From this vantage, farm drones can give you daily updates and resolution at the centimeter scale — fidelity that satellites currently can’t match.
As long as you’ve got the right sensors to collect data and the right algorithms to process the information, you can learn a lot. Proposed drone agriculture techniques include everthing from weed mapping to monitoring the application of glyphosate herbicides. A 2012 review in the journal Precision Agriculture lists disease, water levels, leaf chlorophyll concentration, crop height, plant species, soil quality, pest management, and others as possible data collection targets. There will likely be others that have not been yet put into practice.
Surveillance Agriculture
So what does that mean for would-be extraterrestrial messengers? Simply put, it will be tougher to sneak in and out of cornfields undetected. Though the cover of darkness will still be helpful, drones that monitor crop data don’t necessarily need the same amount of light as human eyeballs. Plus, in areas that are prone to vandalism — or, perhaps for crops, large nocturnal pests — flying monitors are still possible without solar power; the drone company CyPhy Works has proposed drones powered by tethers, for instance, that float in place like sleepless sentinels. We know drones work for spotting human-sized animals, particularly when there’s little tree cover — ecologists can easily spot 5-foot alligators from300 feet over a marsh.
Martin et al. 2012, "Estimating Distribution of Hidden Objects with Drones: From Tennis Balls to Manatees"
That’s not to say that drones couldn’t help us solve some mysteries of crop circles. The crop circle craze triggered some weird theories at its height — Stephen Hawking believed strange air vortices could have caused the crops to fall, and others thought they were the product of mating hedgehogs — but in 1991 two British men confessed to more than two decades and hundreds of crop circles. Though we know they’re man-made, the vandal/artists behind them have kept mum on just how they’re able to map out such complex symbols.
Cold Circle War
Richard Taylor, a University of Oregon materials scientist, wrote in 2011 that crop circle makers have adopted increasingly sophisticated techniques and technology— such as laser guides — to create intricate fractal shapes during a single night. Taylor cites the hypothesis (though he raises it as speculation more than anything else) that crop circles could be formed using magnetrons taken from microwaves, as the radiation would allow superheated stalks to bend in strange ways.
Catching the creation of a crop circle in the act has been tough for decades — but if there’s one way to clear up any questions that remain, it’s aerial surveillance.

As it turns out, the CIA did not use this opportunity to reveal that it has or ever had made contact with extraterrestrial beings, decided an unidentified flying object was alien in origin, or that aliens are among us — but there are plenty of choice cuts within the text that gives a glimpse of how seriously the government took the UFO phenomenon when it received its first massive wave of public scrutiny
The papers are dated from between 1949-1953, and there isn’t an overly obvious glut of redacted writing, so the reading is easy. For the most part, the material is focused on reported sightings and how UFOs can be explained — but there’s also steady chatter concerning governmental worries of the time, such as the Soviet Union and the ability to spot an invasive threat (as well as moments that practically scoff at the possibility of these sightings being unearthly visitors.)
Furthermore, tiny bits of jargon from the time add dated flavor to the content — with mentions of “Foo Fighters,” “St. Elmo’s Fire,” and “P.I.L.” — showing how buzzwords of yesteryear can eventually serve future generations with band names and movie titles.
The CIA presentation also explains “How To Investigate a Flying Saucer”— not so much to civilians trying to verify a sighting, but apparently to agents attempting to get to the bottom of a reported UFO. The column’s advice includes such dry and intense subheadings as “Conduct Controlled Experiments,” “Create a Reporting System To Organize Incoming Cases,” and “Determine the Objectives of Your Investigation.”
Finally, in what is surely just a strange coincidence, the CIA offers links to a few black-and-white photos taken roughly 50-60 years ago — but the links all turn up404 Not Found. However, the pics are elsewhere on the web:
Interesting to see those early photos when compared to the sort of UFO proof people capture in the 21st-century:
Mankind’s relationship to space changed in 2015: Not only did we find liquid water on Mars, the commercial space race heated up, making our own starry ambition seems more plausible than ever. But we didn’t find life and life didn’t find us — at least not in a verifiable way. UFOs were spotted, sure, but they stayed stubbornly U.
The most exciting and provocative alleged UFO sighting actually came from someone who probably has a better view for spotting them than anybody else: Astronaut Scott Kelly was floating 259 miles above the surface of the Earth aboard the International Space Station when he snapped and tweeted this pic:
Immediately, people began asking what that mysterious glint of light was in the corner. What could it be?
The answer, it turns out, was: “Lot of stuff.” Forbes made a pretty convincing argument that it was the High Definition Earth-Viewing System mounted on a module attached to the ISS. Light from the instrument seems to have reflected back at Kelly’s camera as he took the picture. In fact, you can see this much more clearly when you increase the contrast on the image:
That’s a letdown, sure. But there were plenty of other big, weird sightings throughout the year. There were strange lights flying over Los Angeles a few weeks ago, but the Navy claimed responsibility, saying it was part of a missile test flight off the Pacific coast.

Naturally, not everyone bought that explanation.
Lenticular clouds freaked out a bunch of people over in Cape Cod, South Africa last month. And, to be fair, the whole thing did look an awful lot likeIndependence Day. In this instance, however, it’s much easier to accept a scientific explanation involving strange variations in the atmosphere. Still looks freaky though:
There were two big UFO sightings in India this year — one in June documented by a fifth grade student; and another, much larger object snapped by an individual who claims to have seen the mysterious ship rotating in the air. Both sightings were in the state of Uttar Pradesh and so far, there aren’t any clear explanations as to what they might have been.
That doesn’t necessarily mean those and other UFOs are signs of extraterrestrial objects zipping around through our sky. There are actually a ton of rational explanations for UFOs, ranging from aircraft balloons, aberrations of light, natural objects from space, and even birds. And ticking off those things from the list doesn’t mean it must be a ship from another planet.
Mankind’s constantly increasing access to the internet certainly hasn’t helped people keep a more rational mind about what they’re seeing. Just Google “UFO” one of these days and get lost in a k-hole community of people who are convinced those are alien objects coming to abduct human beings and signing secret deals with the government. In addition, the ubiquity of smartphones means everyone can document whatever strange things they see, and immediately post it to social media. Insert an appropriate hashtag like #UFO or #aliens or #FlyingSaucer. One can get lost in the pile of evidence.
Unfortunately, although smartphone cameras are getting better with every month, they’re still subject to a lot of the deficiencies that limit pretty much any kind of photographic equipment. Strange light or reflections can appear much brighter than they actually are. They might obscure the focus of an object and make it look more strange than it really is. While a lot of cameras allow you to manipulate the image quality in ways that offset those problems, most people neglect to do that before they send something straight to Twitter.
The only UFO this year that actually got scientists’ attention was the WT1190F object that burned up in Earth’s atmosphere about four weeks ago, over the Indian Ocean. No one was really what that piece of debris was, but scientists were pretty sure it was the remnants of some old rocketry equipment used in a previous launch.
Scientists were pretty excited about studying WT1190F reentry into Earth’s atmosphere to study the behavior of how objects plummet down from space into the Earth. It’s unclear yet what they found, but it ought to lead to some insights as to how meteors crash into Earth, and how humans can build better heat shields on spacecraft that are carrying astronauts back to Earth.
