Unidentified Space Craft in 10 Month Solar Orbit. Feb 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Feb 2016 Location of sighting: Earths Orbit This object is clearly made by intelligent beings. The big question is, is it ours or theirs? Meaning is it a top secret project? Its possible this is the ancient satellite called Dark Knight that has orbited Earth for thousands of years. We really have to wait till Feb 20 to see the results of the radar images. If it belongs to the US, then it makes sense that NASA gave the space station away to Russia to control. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com BPEarthWatch States: These images were taken by the 230-foot (70-meter) Deep Space Network antenna at Goldstone, Calif. Each of the 72 frames required 320 seconds of data collection by the Goldstone radar. The observations were made as the object was moving away from Earth. The object's distance from the radar dish increased from 74,000 miles (120,000 kilometers) to 195,000 miles (314,000 kilometers). The resolution is 13 feet (four meters) per pixel. The images span close to eight hours and clearly show an elongated object undergoing roughly one full rotation. The images suggest that the object has a long axis of about 130 feet (40 meters). The radar observations were led by scientists Lance Benner and Marina Brozovic of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. Additional Goldstone radar observations are scheduled on February 18, 19 and 20.
As you can see in the video below, this UFO is to slow to be a meteor. It looks like a falling jet on fire, but no reports of lost aircraft were made. If this is not a UFO, then it has to be space junk, probably a spy satellite that governments want to hide from other governments, because it loaded with secrets. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com News states: A video shot in Russia has got UFO watchers excited after some claimed it was an alien vehicle plunging into the earth. The video was shot by Russian man Mikhail Litvinov who said he spotted the device leaving a huge plume of gas behind it as it plunged to earth on the outskirts of the central Russian city of Kemerovo. It quickly attracted thousands of views as people debated what it could be, with many pointing out it was too slow to be a meteorite, but producing too much of a gas trail to be an aeroplane. The gas is off-white in colour at the tail end but becomes blacker closer to the object. Speaking to Russian news site Komsomolskaya, Linvinov said: 'From my side I hope it was a shooting star.' Journalists from Russian news site Bloknot contacted Russian airborne forces who said that there were no registered incidents in the skies over Kemerovo at the time involving either crashed craft or meteorites. One online commentator said: 'It was going down so fast I reckon it was a Russian Rouble.' While another observed: 'It is certainly too slow to be a meteorite implying it is mechanical in origin.' One supposed expert pointed out that it was a 'cigar' UFO due to its long thin shape. These are apparently less widely known than 'saucers'. The first well-known UFO sighting occurred in 1947, when businessman Kenneth Arnold claimed to see a group of nine high-speed objects near Mount Rainier in Washington while flying his small plane. Arnold estimated the speed of the crescent-shaped objects as several thousand miles per hour and said they moved 'like saucers skipping on water.' This is how the term flying saucer was coined as, in the newspaper report that followed, it was mistakenly stated that the objects were saucer-shaped.
PHOENIX (KSAZ)– In 1947, the valley had become controversial with the reports of a UFO crash at the base of Piestewa Peak, called Squaw Peak Mountain at that time. Many have concluded that the government had undertaken all the necessary measures to hide all evidence of the crash.
One version of the story is outlined in Frank Scully’s book “Behind the Flying Saucers,” (Amazon link) written in 1950. Scully wrote in the book that an alien space saucer crashed in the valley in October 1947. It allegedly bounced, skipped, and landed several miles away in Cave Creek or Paradise Valley.
Another story of the incident was that remains of aliens were recovered, and the U.S. government hauled them away. Dreamy Draw Dam was then apparently constructed over the site to cover the truth of an alien crash.
Open Minds Radio host, Alejandro Rojas, said that he tried to investigate the incident at Dreamy Draw, and all he could find were rumors about the UFO crash. He was able to find one witness who claimed to have spotted something strange either in Dreamy Draw, Paradise Valley, or Cave Creek. Unfortunately, the witness died before Rojas was able to talk to the witness directly.
Rojas, a UFO researcher and journalist, acknowledges that there are several holes in the Dreamy Draw Dam UFO story. The witness apparently has morally offensive character with little credibility. Moreover, Rojas points out that the UFO crash event happened in 1947 while the dam, which was apparently built to hide the crash site, was constructed in 1973 for flood control purposes.
On July 7, 1947, few months before the incident, William Rhodes of Phoenix had taken a UFO picture that was considered as one of the first and one of the best UFO photos ever taken. Rhodes claimed that government agents visited him after the photo was published in the Arizona paper.
According to Rhodes, the agents borrowed the negative and promised to bring it back to him after they made a copy of it. However, the borrowers allegedly had never returned the negatives to him.
Are the two claims a coincidence or stories of real extraterrestrial visitations? Rojas says that when rumors and stories continue to exist for many years, there’s likely a shred of truth on them and finding the truth is likely to persist as well.
Chemitrail-wolken vallen vallen op de grond ( UPDATE + VIDEO )
Chemitrail-wolken vallen vallen op de grond ( UPDATE + VIDEO )
Het zijn vreemde tijden, maar wat een aantal mensen in Marokko enkele dagen geleden meemaakten, grenst aan het ongelofelijke.
Complete, onnatuurlijke wolken die uit de lucht op de grond vallen.
Update vandaag 07 februari:
Al snel volgden mogelijke verklaringen van lezers (dank!) op onderstaande artikel van vandaag. Het fenomeen dat men zeeschuim noemt, zou kunnen zijn wat we hier in Marokko zien:
Dit lijkt erg veel op Zeeschuim.
Waar komt dit schuim vandaan? In de zee leven microscopische kleine plantjes(algen). Een moeilijke naam voor deze plantjes is fytoplankton. Phuthon betekent 'plant' in het Grieks en plankton komt van het Griekse 'plagktos' wat 'dwalend' betekent. Fytoplankton is dus het geheel van microscopische kleine plantjes die in de zee drijven. Eén van de vele algenfamilies is Phaeocystis of schuimalg. In het late voorjaar is er al veel zonlicht, voldoende voedsel en heeft het water al een zachte temperatuur. Dit zijn ideale omstandigheden voor deze plantjes om zich razendsnel te vermenigvuldigen. Het water kleurt dan letterlijk groen, rood of bruin afhankelijk van de algensoort. We zeggen dan: 'De bloei zit in het water.' Deze microscopische kleine plantjes vormen kolonies. Dit zijn grote hoeveelheden die bij elkaar samenklitten. Ze hechten zich in een laag gelatine. Wanneer deze kolonies afsterven, wordt de gelatine door de golven tot schuim opgeklopt. De wind en de stroming voeren dat schuim naar het strand.
Origineel artikel vandaag:
De volgende bizarre gebeurtenis vond plaats in de Marokkaanse regio Doukkala.
Ook wij zien bij ons wel eens wolken aan de grond vormen. Dit komt dan soms bijvoorbeeld voor in de vorm van ochtendmist die laag op de grond hangt en die dan vervolgens optrekt wanneer de zon voldoende kracht heeft.
"Een wolk is een zichtbare verzameling wolkenelementen – al dan niet onderkoelde waterdruppeltjes of ijskristalletjes – in de atmosfeer op enige hoogte van het aardoppervlak.
Waterwolken ontstaan doordat waterdamp in verzadigde lucht condenseert rondcondensatiekernen. Waterdamp kan ook verrijpen tot ijskristalletjes om zo ijswolken te vormen. In gemengde wolken komen zowel waterdruppeltjes als ijskristallen voor."
Maar, dat alles is niet van toepassing op wat er in Marokko te zien was.
Wat hier uit de lucht valt, zijn allesbehalve natuurlijke wolken, maar een soort chemische pakketten, een soort badbubbels, die waarschijnlijk te zwaar zijn geworden om in de lucht te kunnen blijven hangen.
Ongetwijfeld zullen meteorologen wel weer met een verhaal komen over wat voor soort wolken dit precies zijn (cumulusavon oftewel zeepstapelwolk?), maar voor ons is het duidelijk dat we hier te maken hebben met chemische substanties zoals die dagelijks boven onze hoofden worden uitgestrooid.
Waar het op lijkt is een heterdaad waarbij je nog maar eens duidelijk bewijs ziet dat chemtrails met ongezonde stoffenerin absoluut geen fabeltje zijn.
The Cash-Landrum Incident: Was a Nuclear Aircraft Involved?
The Cash-Landrum Incident: Was a Nuclear Aircraft Involved?
Of all the best-known and often reviewed UFO cases of the last few decades, many would contend that one of the most puzzling had been the Cash-Landrum incident, which occurred near Dayton, Texas on 29 December, 1980.
The story, well known in UFO circles, involved two women: Betty Cash and Vicky Landrum, as well as Vicky’s grandson Colby, all of whom purportedly observed an unusual, very bright source of illumination over a country road on the night in question. After seemingly hovering above the highway for several minutes, the strange object was surrounded by a group of helicopters in tight formation, and removed from the area, according to the witnesses.
Among those seeking to understand the incident, and what the evidence (little though we have) actually entails, researcher Curt Collins has examined the witness testimony in-depth, covering everything from the later developments and health problems reported by the witnesses, to the earliest statements they gave about the object’s shape and appearance, depicted in the image at the outset of this article (the image is an original work produced by Christian P. Lambright, X Desk Publishing, copyright 2013, as featured in Curt Collins’ original article at his site Blue Blurry Lines, which can be viewed here. Also, Curt’s article details a number of other renderings of the object, and I recommend folks visit his site for further background on this case).
Over the years, some have presented this case as one of the best UFO reports of the modern era, rife with details and credible testimony that points strongly toward a physical object seen on the night in question. On the skeptical side of things, it has been argued that this case is yet another crude hoax, and that perhaps the witnesses had gone to great lengths to create the appearance of poor health following the encounter, with hopes of obtaining money in recompense from the U.S. Air Force or some other agency.
Much like Collins has worked to try and do, looking at the case very carefully, I feel that there may still be things we can surmise about this incident, even decades after it occurred, as I recently outlined in an article on the subject. Following its publication online, one reader wrote to me addressing the long-held theory that the object or craft may have been utilizing an experimental propulsion system, perhaps one involving a nuclear engine:
“I’m a bit surprised you didn’t go into NEPA (Nuclear Engine Propulsion Aircraft) at all Micah. Especially when considering the witnesses suffered from radiation exposure combined with their reports of a rocket type exhaust. As I recall, they reported the craft appeared to be having difficulties, which would help to explain the Chinooks.”
Stanton Friedman – nuclear physicist
As a rather interesting aside, a number of years ago I had actually considered what my reader proposes, which had prompted me to ask researcher Stanton Friedman about his feelings regarding this particular case. As a nuclear physicist who had worked on various projects that explored whether a nuclear engine propulsion craft might be feasible for air or space travel, it had been Friedman’s view that no such manmade technology would likely have existed at the time of the Cash-Landrum incident (that was his opinion, at least). Hence, Friedman felt that the object, whatever it was, “hadn’t been one of ours”, if the object had indeed exhibited any kind of a nuclear power source.
One of the first problems with the NEPA argument is actually an obvious one: despite the long-held assertions about radiation poisoning, there was never any real evidence that nuclear radiation had been found at the site (and further, it should be noted that the precise location of the observation could not be found either). Betty Cash’s vehicle similarly failed to display any convincing evidence of nuclear radiation, despite the likelihood that the vehicle had been the same distance from whatever source might have caused the witnesses to become ill afterward. This was confirmed by researcher John Schuessler, who had examined Cash’s vehicle with a geiger counter during his investigation of the incident.
Betty Cash (right)
While the witnesses certainly displayed symptoms similar to radiation sickness, it had been the problems with finding evidence of nuclear radiation on the vehicle that led researcher Brad Sparks to consider whether the health problems had been the result of something else; he suggested a chemical component, perhaps an aerosol, that may have been present in the environment instead.
However, I find that the ailments that the witnesses described (especially Betty Cash) were also consistent with health problems associated with exposure to a high dose of some variety of ionizing (or perhaps non-ionizing) radiation; since the object was described as extremely bright, infrared or ultraviolet might be possibilities here. Thus, the effects described might somewhat resemble conditions like sun poisoning, resulting in photochemical damage that seems more plausible than chemical reactions or nuclear radiation… especially since no convincing evidence for either of these had been found.
In my original article on the subject, I also presented information on a specific patent for an infra-heat emitter, designed for purpose of the quick inflation of balloons, and perhaps allowing infrared detection for military applications (night training missions, etc). The patent predates the Cash-Landrum incident by several years, and if we were to consider some similar device had been behind the illumination the witnesses observed, it might also account for a source of radiation–perhaps in the infrared or ultraviolet portions of the spectrum–where photochemical effects (i.e. damage to the skin, etc) certainly can occur.
Finally, we should note that a fairly high-energy ionizing source of radiation would have been able to cause effects such as damage to the skin, without resulting in radioactivity being induced in objects nearby. This seems consistent with the lack of radiation noted by Schuessler during his investigation.
In conclusion, perhaps some of the problems we face in understanding what really happened on the night of December 29, 1980 have more to do with inaccuracies and assumptions that are often made about the case, rather than hard facts. In order to make a proper assessment of the events related by Betty Cash and the Landrums, a careful review of the facts is paramount; and even after more than three decades, it may also help us come to new, better-informed conclusions about the case and its implications.

What Ever Happened to the “Flying Saucer” Shaped UFOs?
What Ever Happened to the “Flying Saucer” Shaped UFOs?
Beginning in early 1951, Edward J. Ruppelt, a young, witty, and overall promising US Air Force officer, began his service as chief of the USAF’s famous Project Blue Book. Housed within the Air Technical Intelligence Center, Ruppelt and a handful of staff would begin fielding the most credible reports of aerial phenomena which, at the time, were considered a legitimate potential threat to national security: these were, of course, the famous “flying saucers” that had been reported since the summer of 1947.
“UFO,” Ruppelt would later affirm, “is the official term that I created to replace the words ‘flying saucers’.” The reason for this had been rather obvious: in the foreword written by Drunvalo Melchizedek, it was noted that there a handful of “types” of UFO that the USAF documented during the Blue Book years under Ruppelt’s oversight; these were the, Triangular craft, Cigars, Balls of Light, Balls of Flame, and of course, the famous “Flying Saucer”. “The Air Force’s conclusion,” Melchizedek notes, “after about four years of dramatic study was that this phenomenon was not the work of the Russians, not the United States — not anyone from this planet.”
Whether or not the non-terrestrial nature of the alleged craft can indeed be affirmed, it is clear that there had been far more occurring throughout the 1950s—and throughout the decades that would follow, just as well—than most conventional surveys of aviation history would indicate. In equal measure, it can hardly be argued that a number of the sorts of “saucers” and other UFOs that were being reported as humankind coasted along into the Atomic Age were, in fact, of terrestrial origin. Just within the last few years, the release of previously classified documents pertaining to aircraft test flights like the Oxcart program, the CIA’s codename for its project for development of the Lockheed A-12 reconnaissance aircraft, have shed new light on strange “saucers” seen at high altitudes above the American Southwest… saucers which, obvious though it seems to us today, bore more resemblance then to the advanced jet aircraft most of us are used to seeing today.
But that’s not to say that there haven’t been some legitimate reports of UFOs that aren’t so easily ID’d in retrospect, particularly those bearing the now-famous “saucer” shape. Consider the following account, once again sourced from Ruppelt’s own book on the subject:
“Just before noon on March 16, Chief Petty Officer Charles Lewis saw a disk shaped UFO come streaking across the sky and buzz a high flying B-36. Lewis first saw the UFO coming in from the north, lower than the B-36; then he saw it pull up to the big bomber as it got closer. It hovered under the B-36 for an instant, then it went speeding off and disappeared. When the press inquired about the incident, Captain M. A. Nation, commander of the air station, vouched for his chief and added that the base tower operators had seen and reported a UFO to him about ten days before.”
Similar non-air force reports have yielded fruit on occasion in the years that would follow. In my own personal research into UFOs over the last several years, a number of witnesses have described such seemingly-impossible aircraft to me; witnesses that I have come to know quite well in many instances, and whose judgement and credibility have earned my sincerest confidence.
One such report was related to me in the summer of 2013 by an individual named “Betty”. Having formerly worked as a statistician in various branches of the U.S. government throughout the 1980s and 90s, Betty confided to me that she had never been particularly interested in UFOs, and considered herself to be a “skeptic”. This, however, hadn’t caused her to dismiss her own observation of a classic, saucer-shaped aircraft in the early 1970s.
As Betty describes:
I must have been about 12, my brother Billy (11 months older) was there as well. We lived in Venice, California at the time, about a mile from the beach. Anyway, one night, Billy and I were outside playing around. Suddenly we stopped at a loud engine sound and looked up to see the Goodyear Blimp flying low about a block away, heading west. We were able to clearly see the advertisement on the side of the blimp. Later, we stopped again to see the Goodyear Blimp slowly flying by to the east. Every child in Los Angeles knows the Goodyear Blimp.
Billy and I had resumed our playing when suddenly I heard a vibrating sound coming from the right corner of the house. I looked up and hovering close to the house was some sort of craft. Because it was so close to the house I could only see about a 3rd of it’s size (an estimation). I saw the lights that appeared to go around the craft. I remember red and white lights, too much time has gone by to remember for sure if there were other colors as well. As I focused in on the rest of the exposed craft, I could see what appeared to be a “classic” flying saucer of the 1960s. There were no apparent lights on the upper portion of the craft, it was grayed in its own lighting and from my house and street lamps. I glanced at Billy who was staring with his mouth open. I looked back at the craft and saw it slightly tilt downward toward us. I was so excited! Just then my brother yelled “go get mom!” I ran inside the living room and yelled at my mother “There’s a UFO!” as she stared at me from the dining room with my oldest brother. I pivoted there and ran back outside. By the time I returned to my spot, my mom and older brother were already there.
“Where’d it go!” I demanded from Billy. Looking like he was shaken, he said that as soon as I turned to go into the house, the UFO shot out of there in a flash. It was extremely fast and shot out toward the Venice Pier. I looked out that way but could only see small orbs of light, much like airplanes from the airport (there are no stars in Los Angeles).
Billy and I were scoffed at and we were left to ponder over what we saw.
The next day my mother told me that in the paper, there were reports of an unusual light seen out over the Venice pier.”
Betty’s encounter is like many that have crossed my desk over the years, supplied by clear-minded, sober individuals that, if anything, have maintained very little interest in the UFO subject. And yet, in such instances, the famed, if not archetypal “flying saucer” shape has remained, though perhaps not prevalently.
It is indeed funny, in retrospect, the way that so many things that once scared us become relegated to the lunatic fringe; like the drive-in horror movies from decades ago that scared the daylights out of us which, today, we laugh at, and point at the dangling bits of wiggling rubber that make up the monstrosities that once caused us to cower.
Maybe the UFOs are no different, in a sense: the only thing that could have actually been as scary as bug-eyed aliens in saucers from someplace else would have been the once-inevitable conclusion that the USAF had thought they might eventually determine: that the “saucers” had been something of our own making, and belonging to the boys across the pond, who were now waving the bigger stick. That ended up not being the case, of course… but if not Russian, then whose were they?
Even today, the odd disc shaped aircraft are still reported. They appear only sparingly–almost as if just to assert themselves from time to time–or maybe to be taken as some archaic reminder of the kind of weirdness that UFOs “used to be”. Or at least, a reminder of how things were back in the good ol’ days, when the flying saucer craze that swept the nation in the earliest years of the Cold War was still something new, refreshing, enticing, and yes, even scary.

Mulder, Scully, Fact & Fiction, Pt.3
Mulder, Scully, Fact & Fiction, Pt.3
The opening paragraph of part-1 of this three-part article began with the following: “Now that the new series of The X-Files is already halfway through its brief return to television, I figured it would be a good time to address an issue that often crops up in conversation. And particularly when I’m lecturing on the “government files” angle of the UFO controversy. Namely, does the real FBI have its very own X-Files department? Well, the short answer is ‘No. It does not.’ That’s not to say, however, that the FBI hasn’t played a significant role in the investigation of the kinds of mysteries that would have Mulder drooling at the mouth and Scully rolling her eyes and shaking her head.”
So far, we’ve addressed the FBI’s files on UFOs in 1947, an alleged UFO crash in 1948, and the Contactee/”Space Brother” controversy that began in the early 1950s. Now, it’s time to move on. Covering the period from 1957 to 1960, we have the FBI’s files on Extra-Sensory Perception, ESP. Of this very interesting document collection, the FBI says: “ESP is considered a perception of information about events beyond what may be discerned through the five physical senses or deduced from past experience or knowledge. This release consists of cross references to ESP found in FBI files from 1957 to 1960. Several of the documents concern William Foos, a proponent of ESP. Others concern claims that ESP could be used in espionage investigations. The FBI found no scientific support for this or other claims and did not pursue the matters raised in these references.”
Predating the more well-known “Remote Viewing” programs of the early 1970s onward, the ESP file shows how, for a while, officialdom got quite excited by the idea of potentially employing psychic 007’s to spy on the likes of the Reds.
Without doubt, the weirdest mystery that the FBI found itself involved in during the 1970s was that concerning so-called “cattle mutilations.” The FBI’s file is titled “Animal Mutilation.” The FBI says of this particular dossier: “In the mid-1970s, reports of scattered animal mutilations in western and mid-western states concerned many people. The FBI was asked to investigate, but was unable to do so because of a lack of jurisdiction (except when such mutilations were found on Indian lands). These files consist mainly of press clippings and correspondence concerning the issues between 1974 and 1978.”
Indeed, it’s the correspondence that is particularly notable. The file is filled with New Mexico State Police reports of case after case of very odd – even macabre – cattle mutilations. Many of the incidents occurred in and around the New Mexico town of Dulce – a place with a notorious tie to Ufology. The files tell of animals found dead with their legs broken, as if they had been dropped from significant heights. There are reports of black helicopters skulking around. Aliens, secret bio-warfare operations, satanic cults, and predators all come under the scrutiny of law enforcement officials. To call the reports real-life X-Files would not be wide of the mark. It would be right on it. Now, let’s head on to the 1980s.
It’s time to turn our attentions to Jack the Ripper. What on Earth does the world’s most infamous serial-killer have to do with the Bureau? The answer comes from the FBI: “In 1888, a series of unsolved homicides in London, England were attributed to a serial killer called ‘Jack the Ripper.’ In 1988, Supervisory Special Agent John Douglas of the FBI’s National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime performed an analysis of the case for the Cosgrove-Meurer Production Company. This release consists of his analysis.”
Also in 1988, the FBI found itself embroiled in the controversy surrounding the notorious “MJ12 documents.” “Leaked” to certain figures within the UFO research community a handful of years earlier, the supposedly Top Secret documents tell of a UFO crash at Roswell, New Mexico in July 1947, and of a highly-classified group tasked with overseeing the matter: Majestic 12. Or, MJ12. Of this file, the FBI tells us: “In 1988, two FBI offices received similar versions of a memo titled ‘Operation Majestic-12…’claiming to be highly classified government document. The memo appeared to be a briefing for newly-elected President Eisenhower on a secret committee created to exploit a recovery of an extra-terrestrial aircraft and cover-up this work from public examination. An Air Force investigation determined the document to be a fake.”
Indeed, a meeting occurred in Washington, D.C. on November 30, 1988 between agents of the FBI and agents of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, in which the FBI was told that the MJ12 documents were a “fabricated hoax.”
And there we have it: probably the closest thing to the fictional X-Files of a certain TV show now making a comeback. You may be interested to know I could have made this article a 4- or even 5-part one, such is the extent of the “weird files” held by the FBI. Those I didn’t touch on include files on sci-fi author Philip K. Dick; Spontaneous Human Combustion; Nicola Tesla; Wilhelm “Orgone” Reich; and rocket-pioneer and Aleister Crowley disciple, Jack Parsons. And, indeed, there may be others, still awaiting declassification.

Mysterious People Who Appeared from Nowhere
Mysterious People Who Appeared from Nowhere
History is rife with strange tales of people who have mysteriously vanished from the face of the earth without a trace, but one area that seems to get decidedly less coverage is the various accounts of those who did just the opposite, appearing out of nowhere cloaked in mystery and emanating questions and puzzles around them that have never been satisfactorily answered. Here we have strangers who have stepped out of thin air from another place, perhaps even another time or plane of existence, and have gone on to leave impenetrable mysteries in their wake to this day. Stepping out of blue and into our imagination, these baffling appearances represent a phenomena every bit as perplexing as strange disappearances. Let us journey into the bizarre world of mysterious individuals who seemingly appeared from nowhere.
One of the earliest, most well-known, and indeed bizarre cases of people appearing out of nowhere occurred in the mid-12th century, when two children mysteriously appeared in the sleepy village of Woolpit, in the English county of Suffolk, and went on to become an enduring mystery known as the Green Children of Woolpit. Allegedly one day, two young children, a boy and a girl, suddenly and inexplicably emerged from a deep pit used for trapping the wolves that terrorized the region in those days. If this wasn’t already odd enough, it immediately became apparent that these were no ordinary children, as they both reportedly had skin that was tinted green, and were dressed in strange, unfamiliar clothing made from an unusual fabric that no one recognized. The children seemed to be more or less healthy but somewhat dazed and confused, and when villagers tried to speak to them they spoke a strange, unintelligible language that no one had ever heard before. Not knowing what to do with these enigmatic children, the locals presented them to a wealthy landowner by the name of Sir Richard de Calne, who took them into his care. Things would only get stranger from there.
The children immediately started crying uncontrollably when they arrived at their new caretaker’s house, chattering with each other in their alien tongue but no one could understand a word of what they were saying. When presented with food, the green-skinned children would not eat anything, even though they made it clear that they were quite hungry. Bread, meat, fruit and vegetables were all offered, but everything was refused by the children until they were presented with beans still in their pods, which they ravenously devoured. For several months this was the only food the children would eat, until they gradually began to consume other things such as bread. Tragically, the boy purportedly became increasingly morose and sullen in this new environment, eventually becoming very ill and wasting away until he died. The girl, on the other hand, seemed to adapt reasonably well to the new world she had found herself in, her green pallor gradually dissipated, and she even started picking up the English language. That’s where things got even weirder still.
When she was able to somewhat express herself in English, the girl began to try and explain where they had come from. She claimed that the boy had been her brother and that they had come from a faraway land located deep underground, where the sun never shone, where it was always dark, and where all of the people had green skin; a fantastical place she called St. Martin. When asked how they had arrived at Woolpit, the girl told the mesmerized villagers that she had been out herding cattle with her brother and had followed the animals into a large cavern. As they plunged deeper into the cavern the girl claimed that they had heard a strange sound like bells, which they followed into the uncharted blackness, becoming more and more disoriented until there was a sudden bright shaft of light that had pierced through the gloom and hurt their eyes. When the children had followed the light they exited the cavern, only instead of their homeland before their eyes it had been the bottom of the wolf trap pit they had been found in. It was a bizarre tale to be sure, and nobody was quite sure what to make of it, although there was all manner of speculation. The girl would subsequently go on to live a relatively normal life in the village, adjusting comfortably to her new home, integrating into society well, and even being baptized and eventually getting married.
The story of the Green Children of Woolpit went on to become a popular tale of curiosity and is still much discussed to this day. It is difficult to know what to make of this story, and hard to ascertain just how many elements actually took place and which are mere myths, exaggeration, folktale, fancy, and fairy tale. There have been a wide range of theories proposed for the Green Children’s origins, ranging from the somewhat plausible to the more far-fetched. The enigmatic children have been alternately theorized as being from a parallel dimension, aliens, inhabitants of some hidden subterranean civilization, feral children raised by animals, orphans with arsenic poisoning or malnutrition which made their skin green, or Flemish immigrant refugees fleeing persecution and a battle that had killed their parents. In the end, no one really knows who they were, where they came from, or indeed how much of the story is even based in reality, and so the story of the Green Children of Woolpit has become an enduring mystery that will perhaps never be solved.
Plaza Mayor, Mexico
Another story similarly rendered muddy and murky by the passage of time and retellings is a strange appearance in Mexico City on October 26, 1593, of a Spanish soldier who seems to have appeared out of thin air after being teleported over vast distances. On the day in question, guards at Mexico City’s Plaza Mayor noticed a dazed looking man walking about in a trance and wearing the uniform of a Philippine soldier. In addition to him being very far from the Philippines, no one could figure out how the intruder could have possibly slipped past the high security of the premises, and the suspicious guards immediately detained him. When the stranger was questioned, he had quite the fantastic story to tell. He claimed that his name was Gil Perez, a soldier and guard at the Governor General in Manila, Philippines, and that on October 23, 1593 had been at his post on high alert following the shocking assassination of governor Don Gómez Pérez Dasmariñas. Exhausted, Perez had allegedly leaned on a wall and closed his eyes for a moment, but when he opened them again he was in an unfamiliar place, surrounded by new sights and smells. Disoriented, Perez nevertheless had dutifully gone back to his guard detail until he realized that his uniform was not the same as the guards around him, which was around when he had been apprehended. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the skeptical Mexican guards did not believe a word of this spectacular tale, and Perez was promptly thrown into prison and accused of being a “servant of the devil.”
Perez languished in prison for months until a ship arrived from the Philippines along with news of the Manilla governor’s assassination, which had until that point been unknown in Mexico. Further corroborating Perez’s story was the testimony of someone on the ship who claimed to know Perez and to have actually seen him on duty on October 23, although it was not known that he had gone to Mexico. Considering that he had been detained since the 26rd of October and that he could not possibly have known of the assassination, since the news had taken months to travel across the ocean by ship, as well as the claims by those on the ship who apparently knew him, the Mexican authorities had no real choice but to grudgingly believe Perez. In light of this information, the Mexican authorities then reportedly released him and allowed him to go home, this time the long way by ship. It is not known if Perez was really who he claimed to be, and indeed it is uncertain just how much of this story is true, if any, or what parts may have been exaggerated or fabricated over retellings, but theories by those who put stock in it include the ideas that he was simply a lying imposter or a deserter, to spontaneous teleportation, interdimensional portals, or even alien abduction.
Similarly bizarre is the tale of a man who allegedly teleported not over space, but seemingly through time itself. The story goes that one evening in June of 1950 a man wearing 19th century clothing was suddenly observed wandering aimlessly about in the middle of a busy intersection in New York City. As the dazed man walked around in aimless circles he was then allegedly hit by a taxi and killed. When the body was examined things became bizarre fairly quickly. The man, estimated as being about 30 years old, was dressed in immaculate clothing and shoes, but they were around a century out of date, right down to shoes that were fastened with old fashioned oversized buckles. The man was also found to have been carrying some rather odd items, including very old banknotes with dates preceding the 1870s, a 5-cent copper token for beer at a saloon no one had ever heard of, a bill for the care of a horse and washing of a carriage from a livery stable that turned out not to exist anywhere, and a letter from Philadelphia dated June 1876. There was also a business card emblazoned with an address and the name Rudolph Fentz.
Armed with a name and address, a Captain Hubert V. Rihm with the NYPD Missing Persons Department then allegedly went about trying to track down the identity of the puzzling stranger and was quickly met with frustration. The address written on the card led to people who had never seen or heard of the man, the name Rudolph Fentz was not listed in the phone book nor were any next of kin, he did not turn up any fingerprint records, and no one by that name had been reported missing. He seemed to not exist. It was almost by chance that the baffled investigator came across a listing for a Rudolf Fenz Jr. in a telephone directory dated 1939. This led Rihm to an elderly lady who claimed to be the widow of Rudolf Fenz Jr., and it was this lady who would tell a story that would make everything even more bizarre.
However, as incredible as this story sounds, there is unfortunately evidence that it is at least partly a fictional account, if not entirely fabricated. Although there have been many articles and books citing the account as a genuine, factual report, it was later found that the first such mention of the Fentz story, which appeared in the 1972 May/June issue of the Journal of Borderland Research, was originally sourced as being from a 1953 book called A Voice from the Gallery, by Ralph M. Holland. It seems that Holland had gotten this particular account from a magazine called Collier’s, in a short story entitled I’m Scared, which was by a science fiction author named Jack Finney. Considering that the story is almost exactly the same as the account so often classified as a real event, it is very likely that the case of Rudolph Fentz is based on pure fiction. It is still an interesting case nevertheless, and illustrates just how muddied the waters can get when trying to determine how credible a particular account is or how closely intertwined with reality it is.
Another case from history which has gained quite a lot of recognition is that of a mysterious young man named Kaspar Hauser. The setting of this account is Nuremberg, Germany, where on 26 May 1828 a young man in his teens who no one recognized suddenly appeared wandering the streets. The seemingly bewildered, confused boy was found to be carrying a letter addressed to a Captain von Wessenig, who was the captain of the 4th squadron of the 6th cavalry regiment. The unknown author of the letter stated that the boy was attained as an infant, taken in, educated at home, and had never left the confines of the house. The letter ended with the statement that the boy wished to be a cavalryman, that his father had been a cavalryman, and Wessenig was given the ultimatum to either “take him in or to hang him.” Another short letter was found that seemed to be from the mother, who called the boy Kaspar and claimed that his true father had been a cavalryman who had died for reasons unspecified. Oddly, both letters seemed to be written in the exact same handwriting.
The lady claimed that a 31-year-old Rudolph Fentz Sr. had mysteriously disappeared while out for his daily walk in 1876, when her husband had been only a child. At the time, authorities had apparently launched a massive investigation into the disappearance and had turned up no trace of the missing man. He had vanished without a trace. Intrigued by this new information, Rihm then supposedly checked missing person reports from 1876 and found to his astonishment that indeed a Rudolph Fentz had disappeared that year during an early evening walk and was never found, just as the lady had told him. Eerily, the description for Fentz on the day he vanished matched the mystery man’s exactly, right down to the clothes he had been wearing, and the photo included was a dead ringer for the man. Fearing that no one would ever possibly believe him, Rihm was then said to have dropped the odd findings from the official investigation. Over the years the mysterious story of Rudolph Fentz has inspired speculation that he may have been somehow sucked up in some sort of vortex and inadvertently time travelled, and the tale has made the rounds sparking debate for years.
Kaspar Hauser
Questions posed to the boy and indeed all attempts to communicate with him proved to be frustratingly futile, as the only thing he would say was “I want to be a cavalryman, as my father was” or “Horse!” repeated over and over again. When pressed on anything, he would simply say “Don’t know.” He refused to eat or drink anything except bread and water. He also showed only the most remedial awareness of common everyday rituals such as using money or basic grooming and social skills, and he was only able to read to a very limited degree. The only useful information he seemed to be able to provide was his full name in a childish scrawl on a piece of paper; Kaspar Hauser. Other than that, no one had any idea of who he really was or where he had come from. He was a total enigma.
The first theory as to Kaspar’s origins was that he was some sort of feral child raised among animals out in the wilderness, which would explain his lack of social awareness and limited communication skills. However, as Kaspar began to gain the ability to more fully express himself more light began to be shed upon his mysterious background. He described how he had essentially been raised in a dungeon; a tiny darkened cell not even large enough to stand in, in which he had lived totally alone and slept on a straw bed. His meals were claimed to have been bread and water left for him each morning. He claimed that not once in all of his years growing up did he ever meet his mysterious caretaker, or even another human being for that matter. The boy had never learned to talk or even walk, and had lived his whole life hunched over in that cramped, dank cell with only a few small wooden toys to keep him company. It was not until right before he was released that he had met another person for the first time, who he claimed was a man who did not show his face and had taught him to write his name, stand, and walk. The enigmatic stranger also had apparently taught Kaspar his first words by phonetic repetition and rote memory, “I want to be a cavalryman, as my father was,” the actual meaning of which he could not comprehend at the time.
Such a strange yet undeniably intriguing story soon circulated among the media, and before long Kaspar Hauser was big news all over the world, with people everywhere wondering just who he was. At the time, theories were already swirling, claiming that he was everything from royalty to a flat out liar. In the meantime, Kaspar was taken into the care of a schoolmaster and philosopher by the name of Friedrich Daumer, who further educated him in a wide variety of subjects. Over time, Kaspar adjusted to his new life, but no one was any closer to understanding his murky origins. Indeed, a series of bizarre occurrences would only serve to deepen the mystery surrounding him.
Kaspar Hauser
On 17 October 1829, Kaspar was found in the cellar with a cut on his forehead after he had failed to show up for his usual lunch. The visibly shaken boy claimed that he had been attacked by a man in a hood, who had sounded exactly like the man who had brought him to Nuremburg and who had threatened him before cutting him with a knife and fleeing. Kaspar then claimed that he had escaped down into the cellar to hide, leaving a trail of blood along the floor as he did so. In the wake of the mysterious attack, Kaspar was moved into the care of a municipal authority by the name of Johann Biberbach for his own safety. It was never found out for certain just who had attacked him, or indeed whether he had merely inflicted the wound on himself. The move would not stop the strange string of events unfolding. After Kapsar had settled into Biberbach’s house, yet another odd incident would occur, when on 3 April 1830 there was a sudden gunshot that rang out from his room. Kaspar was found to be bleeding from a gash on the side of his head, and when pressed on what had happened he claimed that he had been climbing up on a chair to reach some books and had accidentally knocked down a gun hanging on the wall, which had then gone off. Oddly, the cut on his head did not seem have been consistent with a gunshot wound. Kaspar was moved yet again, this time to the house of his next patron, a landowner named Baron von Tucher.
During this time, there were beginning weird rumors that Kaspar was a rather unpleasant, abrasive person to be around. In fact, both Biberbach and von Tucher openly complained that the boy was disagreeable, a habitual liar, and extremely vain, with an exasperated Biberbach once stating that Kaspar was skilled in the “art of dissimulation” and “full of vanity and spite.” Claims such as these started to eat away at the boy’s credibility, and there was increasing speculation that he had faked the knife attack and gunshot perhaps in order to manipulate others into feeling sorry for him. Further evidence of deception would come when a British nobleman named Lord Stanhope took him into custody and spent immense resources trying to investigate Kaspar’s past based on his accounts, but had come up completely empty-handed, leading him to doubt that the boy was telling the whole truth. Yet another caretaker of Kaspar’s named Johann Georg Meyer quickly parted ways with the boy after a strained relationship full of arguments and lies, and he would later proclaim “I had been deceived.” Yet another caretaker by the name of Anselm von Feuerbach would later say of Kaspar “Caspar Hauser is a smart scheming codger, a rogue, a good-for-nothing that ought to be killed.” Not exactly words of praise.
With doubt cast on the veracity of his story, and his credibility unravelling even as speculation boiled on where he had come from or even who he was Kaspar would meet an end that was every bit as mysterious as his life had been. On 14 December 1833, Hauser came home with a deep wound in his chest, and claimed that he had been attacked by a knife-wielding man in Ansbach Court Garden. An investigation would turn up a purse lying in the garden which contained a cryptic note scrawled on a piece of paper which was written in mirror writing in German and rife with grammatical mistakes. The mysterious note read:
"Hauser will be able to tell you quite precisely how I look and from where I am. To save Hauser the effort, I want to tell you myself from where I come _ _ . I come from from _ _ _the Bavarian border _ _On the river _ _ _ _ _I will even tell you the name: M. L. Ö."
It has never been conclusively determined what the message means, who wrote the note, or what role they had to play in Kasper’s fate, if any. Kaspar Hauser would die of the grievous knife wound on 17 December 1833; his death as every bit as weird and mysterious as his life had been, leaving behind the strange note and far more questions than he had ever been able to answer. The headstone of his grave, located in the city cemetery of Ansbach, is testament to his enigmatic origins and life, reading “Here lies Kaspar Hauser, riddle of his time. His birth was unknown, his death mysterious. 1833.” Indeed, the mystery and speculation surrounding the life and death of Kaspar Hauser has shown little sign of waning in the subsequent years, and he has spawned numerous theories about who he could have been and who was responsible for his death.
One popular theory at the time was that Kaspar was in fact the hereditary prince of Baden, and the prince had been switched with another baby before mysteriously appearing 16 years later in Nuremburg as Kaspar Hauser. In this scenario, Kaspar was imprisoned by the Countess of Hochberg so that her sons could be successors to the title in the absence of any surviving male progeny of Charles, Grand Duke of Baden, and indeed it was for this reason that he was surmised to have been ultimately murdered. While this theory has often been thrown about, there is very little evidence to show that this was the case and it has largely been dismissed by historians.

In light of many of the inconsistencies and oddities of Kaspar’s story, there are others who believe that the whole thing was more or less a big scam carried out by Kaspar himself, or that it was merely a tall tale woven by a possibly mentally impaired teenager. There are several issues that cast doubt on Kaspar’s own version of events. One is that when he was found he did not seem to exhibit any of the health issues that one would expect of someone who had lived their whole life in a cramped, subterranean dungeon as claimed. For instance, such a long, uninterrupted period of time in absolute darkness should have most certainly resulted in rickets, yet the records show that Kaspar had no such condition, and in fact he was described as being rather healthy looking with a vibrant complexion. He was also in good physical condition for someone who claimed that they had been unable to stand their whole life and had just learned to walk, and Kaspar was able to run or climb stairs with no particular difficulty. It seems that anyone who had lived under such harsh conditions for their entire life would likely have been paler, sicklier, less physically fit, and indeed far more mentally impaired than Kaspar seemed to be. It has also been pointed out that the letters he had been carrying when he was originally found bore handwriting that was uncannily similar to his own. For these reasons, it is thought that the whole account of his previous life had been a fanciful fiction, that Kaspar was a pathological liar, and that the attacks he had suffered were also lies, with the wounds self-inflicted.
Indeed, in this theory the very knife wound that killed him may have been from Kaspar himself, and he had simply cut himself more deeply than he had intended. Other clues surrounding his death point to this possibility as well. For instance, the handwriting and grammatical mistakes of the note found in the garden from the alleged attacker were similar to Kaspar’s, and the letter had been folded in the same characteristic way that he folded other letters he had written. However, for all of the speculation and theories, to this day no one really knows for sure who Kaspar Hauser was, where he came from, how much of his story was true, or who really killed him and the case continues to be a baffling enigma that puzzles to this day.
Equally baffling is yet another strange account which allegedly took place in 1954 at Haneda Airport in Tokyo, Japan. In July of that year, a Caucasian looking man dressed in a suit stepped off a plane that had originated in Europe and causally made his way to customs. When customs asked him the purpose of his visit, he told them that he was there on business, and had indeed been to Japan several times before for the same reason. In fact, the man was conversant in Japanese, as well as French and Spanish. Indeed, his wallet contained currencies from a few European countries. At this point, he seemed to be just an intelligent, well-travelled business man, and there was no reason to be suspicious. Yet then they asked him where he was from and things got strange.
When asked his country of origin, the man matter-of-factly stated he was from Taured, as if it was the most natural answer in the world. The problem is, there is no such country, and when the suspicious customs officer informed him of this the man looked baffled, presenting his passport and insisting that this was indeed where he was from and that it was a country lying between France and Spain. The official-looking passport was indeed issued from a country called Taured, and held customs stamps from several European countries, as well as three previous stamps from Japan, just as the man had said. The man even had a valid-looking driver’s license from Taured. At this point the enigmatic stranger was starting to arouse suspicion, and he was ushered away for further questioning. He was shown a map of Europe and asked to point out where Taured was, yet he seemed genuinely bewildered when he could not locate it there where he claimed it should have been. The only country that was in the location he indicated was the tiny nation of Andorra, and the frustrated man claimed that it was Andorra was the made-up country and that in its place should be Tuared; a country he claimed had existed for over 1,000 years. The skeptical customs officials asked him where he was headed for work, and when they tried the number that the man provided the company on the other end of the line stated that they had never heard of him. A call to the hotel where he claimed to be staying likewise turned up no evidence that he had ever booked a room there, and furthermore the bank information he gave turned out to be from a bank that no one had ever heard of and which could not be contacted. Baffled authorities decided to book him into a hotel under observation as they tried to figure out what to make of his story, yet the following day the man was nowhere to be found in his room, despite the fact that authorities had been outside the whole night. He had simply vanished. Later, when police went to the airport to retrieve the man’s passport and driver’s license for an investigation, they were found to be mysteriously gone without a trace as well.
It is hard to know what to make of this account. Although it has appeared in many Internet articles, as well as mentioned as a factual account in several books, such as The Directory of Possibilities and Strange But True: Mysterious and Bizarre People, there seems to be a lack of any solid original source to verify it, giving it more the distinct air of an urban legend. Nevertheless, there have been numerous theories posed for who the mysterious stranger could have been, ranging from a time traveler to a visitor from some parallel dimension who had somehow pushed through the veil that separates our realities. Unfortunately, there is little we can do to prove or disprove this amazing story, and it remains a mystery.
Curiously, this would not have been the first case of such a puzzling stranger appearing from a phantom country no one had ever heard of. In an eerily similar case, in 1851 a man calling himself Joseph Vorin was found wandering about a village in the rural German district of Lebas, near the town of Frankfort-on-the-Oder. Thinking he was a vagrant drifter, authorities approached the stranger and asked him where he had come from. The stranger, who appeared to be Caucasian, answered in broken German that he was from a faraway country called Laxaria, which he claimed could be found out over the seas in a region he identified as Sakria, neither of which were real places that anyone had ever heard of. When he was detained and brought to Frankfurt for further questioning, things got more bizarre still. Vorin was found to be unfamiliar with any other European language except German, of which he had only a rudimentary grasp, but he claimed to be a native speaker of two unintelligible languages which he said were called Laxarian and Abramian, with one being the written language of the “Clerical Order of Laxaria” and the other the common language of his people. The stranger was apparently very persuasive, explaining the geography of his country and even his religion, which he called Ispatian, in great detail. Vorin further claimed that he had been searching for his missing brother, but that he had become shipwrecked on his journey and had ended up in Germany. It seems that in the end, the baffled authorities came to the conclusion that he was telling the truth and released him.
In 1905 in Paris, France, another such stranger was apprehended when he tried unsuccessfully to pilfer a loaf of bread from a marketplace. When questioned by police, the man claimed in imperfect French that he was from a country called Lizbia. It was at first thought that he was trying to say “Lisbon,” and a Portuguese translator was brought in to help police further question him in more detail. However, the stranger did not speak a word of Portuguese, and indeed did not seem to even be able to locate the country on a map. The man humored authorities by speaking in what he claimed to be his native language, and although it seemed to follow basic rules of syntax and have its own vocabulary, no one had ever heard of it before and indeed no linguist was able to place it. Unfortunately, the authorities could not do much to keep him, and when he had been sternly warned about attempted theft he was released. This is another case for which it is hard to ascertain the parts which could be true or fabricated, and which will probably always remain a curious puzzle.
So what are we to make of all of this? In these disparate stories of mysterious strangers who have appeared from seemingly nowhere do we have in some instances cases of such oddities as time travel, interdimensional portals and spontaneous teleportation? Is there truly something at work here that goes beyond what we know of our universe, with these people somehow walking the line on the limits of reality, transcending the horizons of what we think we understand of space and time? In other cases, such as that of Kaspar Hauser, do we have a true tale of intrigue or merely the ramblings of a swindling degenerate liar? Is any of this possibly real or is this all just urban legends, tall tales, and exaggeration over time, with some of these people having never really even existed at all? Who were these inscrutable strangers, where did they come from, and what did they want? There is a plentitude of questions raised in cases like these to which we are likely doomed to never know the answers to, with the clues fading into legend and obscurity, vanishing just as surely as these mysterious people allegedly appeared.
The US military is looking at how it can turn “average” soldiers into super cyborgs by building an “implantable neural interface” that will allow direct communication between the human brain and a super computer. This will culminate in a killing machine.
The research is part of the Obama administations BRAIN Initiative (Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies), which itself is a very dodgy program to begin with, since it entails studying the manipulation of the human brain.
The concept is being developed together with DARPA, a government at the forefront of military technology and warfare. The new interface will be a small sized bio-compatible unit that will enable the user to communicate with a computer using up to a million neurons at a time, which is about one thousand times faster than any current system in existence.
Although this is sure to excite those who have a rather childish Hollywood view and outlook of military and warfare, this concept is extremely dangerous for multiple reasons. Not only does it trivialize the concept of warfare by degrading it to a type of virtual reality game, which will ultimately be waged at the expense of the poor in resource rich countries who cannot defend themselves, but by allowing government affiliated scientists to connect their technology onto the brains of soldiers automatically runs the risk of them manipulating the human brain. Scientists affiliated with secret government projects have a history of engaging in unethical behaviors, as can be found in multiple experiments such as the tests of MKULTRA or the Tuskegee experiment, among others.
Yes, it is true that the BRAIN initiative can be used for good, but these applications will most certainly be used for warfare and selfish government agendas that are not in the public’s best interest, but rather their own.
1. Snohomish County, WA: A 16-yr. old male and his mother, located approximately 15-20 miles north of Seattle, witnessed a blue-green object suddenly descend from the sky, hover, and then accelerate to the south-southwest and disappear in that direction at approximately 2120 hrs. (PDT).

Scientists Successfully Decode Thoughts, Reading Individuals’ Minds in Real-Time
Subjects viewed a random sequence of images of faces and houses and were asked to look for an inverted house like the one at bottom left. "That was a distractor," Jeff Ojemann said. "We were interested in what the brain was doing at the other times."

IN BRIEF
Using electrodes implanted in epilepsy patients, scientists have decoded brain signals at nearly the speed of perception with better than 95 percent accuracy.
GETTING INSIDE YOUR HEAD
Mind-reading is often dismissed as nothing more than a charlatan trick, but scientists and researchers are trying to change this ‘decoding of the brain’ from quack-science to hard science.
Indeed, significant advancements have been made in this area already. And now, University of Washington scientists have developed technology that allows a device to effectively read your mind.
With a combination of brain implants and sophisticated software, the team was able to interpret their subjects’ thoughts and extrapolate what their subjects were seeing. Thanks to this study, scientists were able to gain insight into how people are able to translate sensory information from an image into something our minds can comprehend.
In their work, which was published in PLOS Computational Biology, the researchers implanted electrodes for a week in seven epilepsy patients. The electrodes were initially implanted to determine where the seizures were originating, but the scientists saw an opportunity to use them to gather data for research (with patients’ permission, of course).
“We were trying to understand, first, how the human brain perceives objects in the temporal lobe, and second, how one could use a computer to extract and predict what someone is seeing in real time?” explained Rajesh Rao, one of the lead authors, in their press release.

With electrodes in their brains, patients were shown a random sequence of images varying from human faces, houses, and empty gray screens in brief 400 millisecond intervals. The patients were instructed to look out for an image of an upside-down house.
Data was gathered during this time period from the electrodes. This data reflected what is called “event related potentials,” the massive inflow of neurons lighting up after seeing the image, and “broadband spectral changes,” lingering signals after the image was seen.
A computer sampled and digitized the incoming data at a rate of 1,000 times per second, which enabled it to figure out the correlation between the images seen by the patients and the electrode location. Using this data, it was able to distinguish which location is more sensitive to an image of a face and that of a house. This data was used to train the software.
Another set of images, both containing houses and faces, that weren’t shown in the earlier sequences was then shown to the patients. The computer was able to interpret the incoming brain signals in the data and determine what image the subject was then viewing with a 96 percent accuracy—despite a lack of prior exposure to these new picture.
It accomplished all that within 20 milliseconds from the arrival of the data, or almost at the speed of perception itself.
What is more interesting is that the software was only able to accomplish this when it analyzed the signals using both event-related potentials and broadband spectral changes, suggesting that impulses across the region (and not only from the neurons in question) is important to how a person perceives an object.
This research is significant, as scientists are currently trying to map our brains. In the end, brain mapping could identify how various neurons, and their locations, relate to how we process our information and ultimately improve our understanding of how neurological diseases affect us.
A new image from NASA’s New Horizons mission shows the existence of “icebergs” on Pluto, hills of water ice floating in glaciers of denser nitrogen ice. It is but another of many fascinating discoveries returned by this fruitful mission.
WATER ICE AND NITROGEN ICE
NASA’s New Horizons mission keeps astonishing us with new images and new revelations about the mysterious, demoted dwarf planet, Pluto.
The most recent discovery is this little gem: Pluto has hills and small mountains that literally float across its surface. It’s weird and unearthly, but we’re dealing, after all, with a very alien world on the outskirts of the Solar System.
And things are bound to get even weirder.
The newly discovered hills are mostly small, typically a few kilometers across, and were discovered in the immense frozen ocean of the so-called “Sputnik Planum,” which represents the western lobe of the famous heart-shaped Tombaugh Regio, the most prominent feature on Pluto.
It seems these hills are composed of familiar water ice (so they really are icebergs, just like their terrestrial counterparts); since water ice is less dense than nitrogen ice, these hills are literally bobbing in a vast glacier or frozen ocean of nitrogen.
The ice-hills themselves appear to be fragments of the water-ice uplands that ring the smooth Sputnik Planum, and they have apparently broken off and been swept away by the nitrogen glaciers, just like any iceberg in Earth’s Arctic or Antarctic oceans.

THE CELLULAR TERRAIN
Once afloat in the midst of Sputnik Planum, the ice-hills fall under the sway of the strange forces at work in the vast nitrogen ice glacier. The so-called “cellular terrain” in the central regions of the glacier result from the slow, aeon-spanning convective forces of the nitrogen ice; the ice-hills are caught up in these convective cells, and pushed to their edges, forming small clusters or chains in some cases up to 20 kilometers (12 miles) long.
An unusually large concentration of these “icebergs” was found in a feature called Challenger Colles (“the Challenger hills,” named after the ill-fated Space Shuttle). The feature (seen at the top of the image), with dimensions of 60 by 35 kilometers (37 by 22 miles), seems to represent a kind of “reef” or shallows where a large number of the ice-hills accumulated and “ran aground.”
The discovery of icebergs on Pluto seems to provide a familiar reference-point and link to the geology, hydrology, and other forces at work on Earth; but, once we look into things a little more closely, we understand just how truly alien this distant member of our Solar System really is.
Astronomers have released a new X-ray/radio composite image of the distant galaxy Pictor A, showing a huge jet of high-energy particles produced by a supermassive black hole. They were also able to determine how this jet, over three times the size of the Milky Way galaxy, produces such powerful X-ray emissions.
JET AND COUNTERJET
In the 2014 film Interstellar, Matthew McConaughey and friends were shown exploring a series of planets orbiting a supermassive (but relatively benign) black hole in a distant galaxy. The black hole, called “Gargantua,” was supposed to have an event horizon—that is, a point of no return—about as large as the Earth’s orbit; nevertheless, Gargantua was depicted as fairly quiescent and neighborly.
But the reality of these colossal cosmic nightmares, as a recent image from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory shows, is something very different.
The newly released picture shows the terrifying power of an actual supermassive black hole located in the galaxy Pictor A, some 500 million light years distant. This black hole is about 40 million times the mass of the Sun (that’s about 10 times larger than the black hole at the center of our own galaxy), and if it were to replace the Sun within our Solar System, its event horizon would swallow the orbits of both Mercury and Venus.
So it’s pretty big.
Unlike Gargantua, however, the Pictor A black hole is an energetic and ferocious beast, lashing out at the universe with all the considerable power at its disposal. The new image shows how the material being consumed by the black hole—stars, planets, interstellar gas, unwary astronauts (kidding)—releases a tremendous surplus of energy as it swirls around the event horizon in a massive accretion disk.
All of this unbridled energy is channeled into two immense jets of particles that pierce the intergalactic medium at nearly the speed of light. In fact, these particle beams are so powerful that the observed jet—which is pointed roughly in the direction of the Earth—maintains its integrity for a distance of nearly 300,000 light years.
That’s over three times the length of our own Milky Way galaxy!
Which just serves to underscore the unfathomable energies involved. The new image—which was compiled over 15 years from Chandra data, and is combined with radio imagery from theAustralia Telescope Compact Array—also betrays a fainter “counterjet.” Because it is on the opposite side of the Pictor A galaxy, moving away from Earth, this counterjet is far less visible.
The radio data, which is red in the image (blue represents the Chandra data), also show two huge “radio lobes,” each many times larger than the Milky Way, caused by the jet interacting with intergalactic gas, and a blue X-ray “hotspot” on the far right, the result of shock waves produced by the jet.

SYNCHROTRON EMISSIONS
The researchers who studied the new data were able to determine that the X-rays generated by the jets of the Pictor A supermassive black hole are most likely caused by what is called “synchrotron emission.” In this mechanism, X-rays are emitted by electrons caught up and spiraling around in powerful magnetic fields.
They were also able to rule out a competing theory: the notion that electrons flung at near light-speed from the central black hole collide with photons from the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Theoretically, such a collision should boost the CMB photons into the X-ray part of the spectrum. But the X-ray signatures did not match this scenario, effectively eliminating it from contention.
Whatever the case, it’s safe to assume there aren’t any inhabitable planets circling the supermassive black hole of Pictor A, and that even Matthew McConaughey would think twice before exploring the environment of this monster.
Major satellite launches have often been followed by UFO sightings soon afterwards, for example, after Sputnik I and II in 1957. In Ottawa, Canada, UFOs were seen on March 3, 1969 after the Apollo 9 launch, on June, 5, 1969 after a suborbital (failed launch) to the moon by the Soviet Union, and in July, 1969, as Apollo 11 orbited the Moon. These correlations, among others, suggest that major rocket launches, especially those extending out of near-Earth orbits, tend to stimulate UFO activity.
Introduction
Major rocket launches have often been followed by UFO activity, possibly coordinated from outposts on the Moon (Lorenzen, 1966, pp. 266, 267).
By 1969, however, there were so many rocket launches and UFO sightings that any attempt to establish correlations between them would be difficult. A decade earlier, there were fewer objects in orbit, though many suborbital flights were still taking place in the late 1940s. To establish the proper sequence of events in this article, Universal Time (designated Z for Zulu) will be given, as well as some local (24 hour time) equivalents (in parentheses).
Following the launch of Sputnik 1 from Baikonur, which the Encyclopedia Astronomica (1957) recorded as onOctober 4, 1957 at 19:28 Z (Oct. 5, 0:28 local time),Lorenzen (1966, p. 65) reported that a 23 year-old farmer inBrazil, Antonio Villas-Boas, observed a nearby area “...lighted as if by a giant searchlight” at about 11 p.m. local time (Oct. 6, 02:00 Z).
This observation was therefore made 30 hours, 32 minutes after the Sputnik I launch. Subsequently, while plowing a field on October 14, the same farmer saw a cartwheel-shaped UFO about 122 meters (400 feet) off the ground, an observation suggesting a UFOfor the earlier Oct. 5 source of light.
UFO activityspiked after the launches of Sputnik I and II, as numerous reports in the NICAP 1957 Sighting Wave Chronology (2014) reveal. Only 1.5 to 4 hours after the Sputnik II launch on Nov. 3, 1957 at 2:30 Z, for instance, a glowing egg-shaped object landed on roads and stalled car engines near Levelland, Texas; on Nov. 4, a UFO was tracked for 20 minutes on radar and was seen by two people at Kirtland Airforce Base (Hynek, 1972; Encyclopedia Astronomica, 1957).
Also on Nov. 4, 1957 at 05:03 Z a large disc-shaped UFO with an orange glow descended at an army garrison atItaipu, near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and produced a wave of heat that struck two soldiers, causing first- and second degree burns to 10 percent of their bodies (Lorenzen, 1966).
In some UFO cases, the time lag between a rocket launch and a UFO sighting has been relatively short.
For example, a UFO tracked a Polaris missile during test firing on January 10, 1961; similarly in 1964 soon after another launch, a UFO intercepted an Atlas rocket (Dolan, 2000; Fox & Coleman, 2007). Most surprisingly, perhaps, only four minutes after launch of a rocket carrying China’s first female astronaut on June 16, 2012, an infrared video camera recorded two glowing UFOs nearby (Good, 2013). If it is assumed that UFO responses are coordinated from a Moon base, then launches made from the side of the Earth hidden from UFOs on the Moon would not be as rapid (and the launch site would be obscured), as if they were made from the side of the Earth facing the Moon. These relationships could explain different time lags between rocket launches and UFO sightings, though this would assume that the UFOs were all stationed on the Moon at launch times.
Apollo 9 Test of Lunar Module Docking Maneuvers in Earth Orbit
******************************************
March 4, 1969, Ottawa, Canada
Less than 34 hours after launch of Apollo 9 on March 3, 1969 at 15:00 Z , a round UFO was observed onParliament Hill by seven (7) RCMP officers between 0:45 and 2:34 Z. Twenty-six minutes later another RCMPofficer reported two red flashing lights in the sky above Sussex Drive without any associated engine noise(Bondarchuck, 1979).
In addition to the three rocket launches on June 5 described by Nentwich (2008), there was a fourth launch, namely aSoviet Luna mission to the Moon, which failed to achieve orbit
Although this launch was excluded from Clark’s (1977) list of Luna launch failures, Greg Kennedy, compiler of the online “Chronology of Human Space Exploration Part 5: 1967-1974” informed me in an email on Oct. 17, 2008that the ‘Mission Planner’s Manual Proton Commercial Launch Vehicle’ document, printed in 1989 by the Space Commerce Corporation in Houston listed the launch on June 5th, with the note that the second stage failed, while the 1996 TRW Space Log listed the same launch as June 4th, also pointing out that it failed to orbit.
The ideal time for this launch, as given in a “1969 June 1 – Soviet lunar plans”, would have been June 3, 1969 at 23:18 Z, and because Soviet lunar launches were usually within an hour of the ideal time, as noted by Clark (1977), an early June 4th launch seems to be the most likely. In fact, Sokolov (2001) confirmed the Luna launch on June 4 or earlier, stating that because of an electrical problem (p. 461) “...the upper stage could not fire. The complex fell into the Pacific Ocean.”
In addition, he pointed out that another rocket was launched afterLuna on June 4, 1969which reached a height of only 100 metres,at which point it exploded with a power of about ten (10) kilotons!
Editor's note: The Hiroshima A-Bomb blast equaled approximately 20 kilotons
A resident of Uba, Brazil was driving in a car with six passengers when at 09:00 Z their car was “...pursued by a bright orange-colored object which flew around in circles above them, producing interference with the car radio and stopping the engine for a few moments” (Flying Saucer Review Case Histories, 1971, p. 16; UFOCAT, 2005). In addition, several witnesses also observed a UFO after 20:00 Z at a lake 60 km west of Quebec City, Canada,
Between 22:50 and 23:00 Z, more than 50 witnesses reported UFOs in Iowa (Southern Illinoisan, June 6, 1969; Muscatine Journal, June 6, 1969).
Dr. J. Allen Hynek“stated he understood the phenomenon was flashing silver, orange and copper colored, with chunks flying off of it”, while other reports told of two or three objects with bluish-green wakes (Southern Illinoisan, June 6, 1969, p. 14).
Dr. Hynek suggested that the objects could have been parts of a re-entering Russian satellite, although an official with the Space Defence Center stated that “…it was highly unlikely that the objects were from a satellite because one is rarely placed in an east-west orbit.”(Daily Capital News, June 7, 1969, p. 1)
An FAA official stated that sightings at Riverside and Iowa City, were “...variously described as a bright ball of fire, flash[ing] and cigar-shaped objects” with “Colors…from silver to blue and blue-green” (Cedar Rapids Gazette, June 6, 1969, p. 4). The azimuth of the ground path of the “Iowa Fireball” on the map of plate 4 in Klass (1975) was about 272º, equivalent to an inclination of 178º, and therefore larger than the maximum reported inclination of any satellite launched up to that time.
Here it should be noted that the ground path of a satellite is determined by the inclination of its orbit, which is the angle between the Earth’s equatorial plane and a spacecraft’s orbital plane (major axis). Of the thousands of launch-related items in the NORAD Catalog (2012) prior to June 7, 1969, with the exception of 13 which did not re-enter the atmosphere in the June 4 to 6 time interval, the maximum inclinations were all less than 121º,corresponding to azimuths larger than 329º but less than 90º.
Three (3) satellites were expected to re-enter June 5 or 6 but would not cross the sky from east to west (Southern Illinoisan, Friday, June 6, 1969, p. 14).
A Soviet rocket body (NORAD ID 3223) with an inclination of 64.8º (25.2º azimuth) re-entered the atmosphere onJune 5, as listed in the NORAD Catalog (2012), but obviously did not have the east to west ground path of the “Iowa fireball”.
Cosmos 284 had an inclination of 62.3º (azimuth 27.7º), re-entering the atmosphere on June 6 at 5:46 Z, making a soft landing in the Soviet Union (Fairbanks Daily News, June 6, 1969, p. 1; NORAD Catalog, 2012)
For all of these reasons, Cosmos 284 was not responsible for the “Iowa fireball” and, in o summary, neither a rocket launch nor a re-entering satellite explains the “Iowa fireball”.
The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory concluded that the “Iowa fireball” had been a meteor, and members of its Meteorite Recovery Project proposed a landing site in southern Iowa (Blue Book files, 1969; Cedar Rapids Gazette, June 7, 1969). However, the following descriptions from several witnesses should be considered before drawing such a conclusion. For instance, a pilot, a teenager and a woman described the object “…as blue and circular, with no wings or indication of a propulsion system…flying east to west above the runway at an altitude of less than 1,000 feet” and with a speed between 483 and 644 km/hr (300 and 400 mph) (Cedar Rapids Gazette, June 6, 1969, p. 3).
A witness north in St. Louis, Missouri reported three objects in a line heading WNW for 60 to 80 seconds, with shapes resembling elongate badminton shuttlecocks (Blue Book files, 1969, p. 14 - 21). A student in East St. Louis, Illinois saw three bright self-luminous, lime-green oval objects beside each other about 805 meters (half a mile) away, decreasing in altitude from 518 to 457 meters (1,700 to 1,500 feet), whereas another witness saw four objects in a line heading west, one of which was oval-shaped with a blue-silver tail (Blue Book Files, 1969, p. 24 – 42).
Several other witnesses saw one of the objects speeding up relative to the other two, while a civilian 53 km (33 miles) northwest of downtown Chicagosaw a single tear-drop shaped object (silvery-aqua color), with a tail 10 times as long as the diameter of the head, and with a piece falling upwards from the object as it traveled silently straight and level (Blue Book Files, 1969).
The most easterly sighting was made by a pilot and two other persons in an airplane near Greenfield, Indiana, who, for about 30 seconds saw a single object with an almost metallic “face” south of Greenfield heading west (Blue Book files, 1969, pp. 47-50). Its trajectory was south of the one shown in plate 4 of Klass (1975), such that different objects were travelling along separate parallel paths.
To summarize, the object(s) had the following characteristics, some of which were not meteor-like: a silvery metallic appearance; flying without being heard; one “piece” moving upwards; one object speeding up relative to the other two; a change in relative positions of the objects from one after another to one beside the other; visibility in flight for over a minute; apparent shapes resembling either a tear-drop, oval, cone, bullet or badminton shuttlecock.
The most compelling evidence for a UFO interpretation, however, was described in a UFO Investigator (1972) article, based on a sighting by an FAA controllerand several pilots, who were flying east near St. Louis, Missouri on June 5. Interestingly, a drawing of a side view of the object in that article resembles the side view of the Roswell UFOillustrated in Randle and Schmitt (1994). The UFO was described in this 1972 article as hydroplane-shaped, 18 to 20 feet long, 7 to 8 feet thick and 12 to 14 feet across at the back end. Viewed from the side, such an object could have had an elongate teardrop shape, but seen at different angles from a distance, it would have had different shapes.
June 6, 1969 in the West End of Ottawa, Canada
On June 6, 1969 between 2:00 and 2:45 Z, and most likely at about 2:30 Z (June 5, 22:30), a UFO about 60 m long (Fig. 1)was observed in the west end of Ottawa (Nentwich, 2008). Its surface wasnot uniformly reflecting light, but was partly covered with a black film.
Figure 1: Side and cross-sectional end views of the Ottawa UFO described in Nentwich (2008).
At about the same time in Ottawa, UFOs appeared over Parliament Hill, after which they travelled to Uplands Airport (Bondarchuk 1979).
*****************************************
July 18, 1969 about 321,861 km into the flight of Apollo 11
Buzz Aldrin wrote that with the help of an on-board telescope, a UFO was seen pacing their spacecraft; the UFO resembled “a series of ellipses, but when you made it real sharp it was sort of L-shaped”
An employee of the National Research Council, as well as some of her neighbors and a police officer, reported a UFOin Hull (now Gatineau just north of Ottawa) between 11:00 and 1:00 Z. The NRC employee stated that it was “A single object, shaped like a watermelon, glowing brightly with an orange hue”... that “Passed slowly overhead and then travelled at great speed across the Ottawa River to the Parliament Bldgs”, over which it hovered (NRC File N69-128, 1969). This sighting was on the same day as the Apollo 11 Moon landing.
Apollo Flights and UFO Sightings
Maurice Chatelain, former chief of NASA communications systems, quoted in Good (1988, p. 385), stated that “...all Apollo and Gemini flights were followed, both at a distance and sometimes also quite closely, by space vehicles of extraterrestrial origin....Every time it occurred, the astronauts informed Mission Control, who ordered absolute silence.” Further evidence supporting this claim includes an analysis of Apollo 16 film by Nakamura (2003, p. 409),who described an enormous domed disc travelling 20 to 40 km/second and wobbling like a leaf falling from a tree.
In addition, indirect evidence presented by Good (2013) suggests that after landing the lunar module on the Moon, theApollo 11 astronauts observed large UFOs nearby. A summary of tentative evidence concerning life on the Moon, including UFO activity there, has been considered by Proud (2013, pp. 279-356), based on many sources in the literature.
Conclusions
UFOs appearing after major rocket launches at or near the launch site or even following the rockets leaves little doubt that such launches stimulate UFO activity. In some cases, however, UFOs have appeared large distances from the launch sites, as in the Texas UFO sightings after the Sputnik 2 launch. These cases are less convincing though the appearance of a UFO shortly after a launch when there were only a few objects in orbit is still significant. The reports of UFOs in Ottawa after the Apollo 9 and Luna launches, and on the day of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing, considered together, do not seem entirely coincidental, especially if one includes the Apollo 11 sightings on the way to the Moon.
It may be that UFO reports correlate more strongly with artificial satellites sent by humans beyond near Earth orbits than they do with orbital or suborbital flights. On the other hand, UFOs were also reported on dates when there were no Apollo flights. For instance, a UFO on April 22, 1969 about 25 miles east of Ottawa was seen flying along a power line while another was seen on May 11, 1969 on Allumette Island west of Ottawa (Bray, 1979; Rutkowski, 2006).

Where the Super Bowl Meets Space: NASA's Aerodynamics Lab
Where the Super Bowl Meets Space: NASA's Aerodynamics Lab

Throwing a tight spiral to a receiver downfield isn't so different from trying to get a rocket to fly smoothly through the atmosphere.
Or at least these tasks are similar when viewed from an aerodynamic perspective: Both present questions about how air flows over the surface of an object as the object is hurtled from one point to another through the atmosphere.
So perhaps it's not a coincidence that Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California — where Super Bowl 50 will take place this Sunday (Feb. 7) — isn't the only place in California where people are studying the best way to throw a football. Only a few miles away is the NASA Ames Research Center, where engineers can use wind tunnels, water channels and other tools to study the aerodynamics of rockets, airplanes — and even footballs. [Our 5 Favorite Super Bowl Commercials with a Space Twist]
In Ames' Experimental Aero-Physics Branch lab, scientists use a fluid dynamics chamber to recreate the conditions of an object flying through the air. The chamber has the bonuses of keeping the object in one place, and showing engineers the normally invisible motion of the air around the object. For example, using lasers and smoke, it is possible for scientists to see how the air curls and swirls as it flows off the back of a football, just as it might when the football leaves the quarterback's hand and heads toward the receiver.
"What we are looking for in the smoke patterns is, at what speed the smoke patterns suddenly change," Rabi Mehta, chief of the Experimental Aero-Physics Branch at Ames, said in a statement.
One of the major factors in determining how well an object flies through the air is the so-called "boundary layer" — a thin layer of air around the object that can act like a buffer, letting the air slide over the object and thus making it more aerodynamic, according to NASA. If the boundary layer is torn off the object, friction can slow down the object or cause it to wobble.
"It is the state and behavior of that layer that is critical to the performance of the ball," Mehta said. "The materials used, the ball's surface roughness and its [weight] distribution determine its aerodynamics."
A golf ball, for example, is dimpled for a very important aerodynamic reason: The dimples make the boundary layer more turbulent, which keeps it wrapped around the ball longer. A smooth golf ball loses its boundary layer faster, and only travels about half the distance as a dimpled ball, the statement said.
A football isn't dimpled, but it is "shaped like a wing and more aerodynamic than a round ball, so the flow [of air] is very different," Mehta said.
"When a quarterback throws the football, he ideally wants to throw a tight spiral with high rotation rate to help stabilize the ball as it flies through the air," he said. "This produces lower drag than a wobbling ball, so it will get there faster."
These types of studies can also provide insight into why a baseball curves, or why a football punter should try to kick the ball so that it rotates around a horizontal axis.

Mehta has spoken to athletes about the aerodynamics of the balls used in their respective sports, and says the athletes often seem to understand exactly what he's talking about. Even though they haven't studied aerodynamics in a lab, their experience on the field has taught them lessons about how a ball moves through the air. Talking to nonscientists about the aerodynamics of footballs and other sports equipment can also be a way to get them interested in science.
"Sports provide a great opportunity to introduce the next generation of researchers to our field of aerodynamics by showing them something they can relate to," Mehta said.

The Super Bowl commercial for LG's new ultra-thin TV has a decidedly sci-fi bent.
The minute-long ad, which will air Sunday (Feb. 7) during Super Bowl 50 between the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos, stars Irish actor Liam Neeson as "The Man from the Future," who travels back in time to tell a younger version of himself (played by Neeson's son, Micheal) about the coming revolution in viewing technology.
That revolution, according to the commercial, is the G6 OLED TV, a soon-to-be-launched product that LG representatives say is as thin as four credit cards stacked on top of one another.
The ad's executive producer is Ridley Scott, the director of such prominent sci-fi films as "Alien" (1979), "Blade Runner" (1982), "Prometheus" (2012) and 2015's "The Martian," which was recently nominated for six Academy Awards. Scott's son Jake directed the new "Man from the Future" LG ad.

Filer’s Files #6 – 2016 We Can Take ET Home - PART I
In Special Reports, This Week’s Files Cover: Shiki Kaifu, Prime Minister, Japan and Ufos, Nasa Archives Ufo Research Studies, Paul Hill’s Unconventional Flying Objects, Space Travel Shorter Time Period Than Thought, We Can Take E.T. Home, and ISS Sees UFO.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Australia, Bolivia, Canada, France, Korea, Nigeria, Spain, and England in the United Kingdom, and Venezuela.
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 UFOs are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Prime Minister Toshiki Kaifu “First of all, I told a magazine this past January that, as an underdeveloped country with regards to the UFO problem, Japan had to take into account what should be done about the UFO question, and that we had to spend more time on these matters.”
Toshiki Kaifu, former Prime Minister stated, “In addition, I said that someone had to solve the UFO problem with far reaching vision at the same time. Secondly, I believe it is a reasonable time to take the UFO problem seriously as a reality… I hope that this Symposium will contribute to peace on Earth from the point of view of outer space, and take the first step toward the international cooperation in the field of UFOs.
Toshiki Kaifu, Prime Minister, Japan, in a letter to Mayor Shiotani of Hakui City, dated June 24, 1990, endorsing an upcoming Space & UFO Symposium.
NASA Archives UFO Research Studies
Dr. Alan Holt writes UFO Research studies indicate that the unexplained (residual) UFO phenomena may be due to extraterrestrial visitors, parapsychological experiences, or a combination of the two. If some UFO phenomena are caused by extraterrestrial visitors in very advanced spacecraft, then the frequency of visits and the large number of different types of visitors (many different humanoids have been described) imply ability to cross-large stretches of galactic and inter-galactic space in relatively short time frames.
If the speed of light is a true limit of velocity in space-time, then the potential extraterrestrial visitors must utilize a form of transportation, which transcends space and time to keep the trip times short. UFOs are often observed to disappear instantaneously. In a subset of these cases, the UFO later reappears at a nearby location implying a disappearance from and reappearance into space-time. The high speed, right angle turns, abrupt stops or accelerations of UFOs, and the absence of sonic booms despite calculated speeds of 22,000 mph or more suggest that UFOs may generate an artificial gravitational field or otherwise use properties of space-time which we are not familiar with, UFO propulsion systems appear to involve electromagnetic or hydromagnetic processes as evidenced by radiative effects on the environment such as burns, dehydration, stopping of automobile engines, TV and radio disruption, melting or alteration of ground and road surfaces, power disruptions, and static electricity effects.
This data suggests that the unknown relationship between electromagnetic and gravitational fields may be used in UFO propulsion systems.
HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF PROPULSION CONCEPT
The concept of transcending space-time for interstellar and intergalactic travel was felt to be a viable possibility based solely on theoretical studies in physics and ‘astrophysics and UFO studies. However, with the postulation and potential discovery of black holes, the potential for experimental support for this concept in the near future has been established. Astronomers have already speculated on the possibility that the mass and energy absorbed by a black hole may reappear in white holes or quasars. For mass and energy to be transported from one space-time point to another without an observable connection implies some form of higher dimensional space transcending space-time as we know it. The existence of a higher dimensional space would open up new space travel” possibilities since the connections between space-time points through this hyperspace could involve laws much different from those, which are so constraining in space-time. For example, if each space-tine point can be assumed to be unique and if a relationship does exist between gravitational and electromagnetic fields, then each space-time point defined by a geometric form (Einstein’s tensor metric) would be expected to have natural resonances with certain electro/hydro magnetic wave forms (geometric forms) which are (effectively) higher or lower harmonics of that space-time point (which is a”projection”of the higher dimensional space).

Unconventional Flying Objects
NASA’s Paul Hill’s book, Unconventional Flying Objects, is based on solid NASA/US Military data. It is solid physics and engineering showing that UFOs have some kind of propellant less inertial drive based on a micro-miniaturized, probably nano-engineered, smart high temperature superconducting outer shell. The Modanese theory fits this scenario quite well and is mathematically simple.
The Paul R Hill Special Collection is held by the Archives of American Aerospace. He was awarded NASA’s Exceptional Service Medal in 1969.This award was “… granted for significant achievement or service characterized by unusual initiative or creative ability that clearly demonstrates substantial improvement in engineering, administrative space flight, or space-related endeavors which contribute to NASA programs”. In 1970, Hill received a citation for outstanding scientific leadership for “directing research applicable to space laboratories and other spacecraft.”
He authored the first NACA technical paper on ram jet technology and headed the NACA’s Pilotless Aircraft Division.
By the early 1950s, in part inspired by his personal interest in the ‘flying saucer’ or ‘UFO‘ phenomenon, Hill began experimenting in his own time with kinesthetically controlled flying platforms.
In 1956 the US Air Force established project HYWARDS, with the aim of developing a hypersonic design capable of up to Mach 12, as a successor to the X-15. Hill made a number of important contributions, particularly in the design of hypersonic wind tunnels. By 1959, Hill became involved in research for a future lunar mission.
Space station research began in earnest at NASA-Langley in the early 1960s and Hill played a prominent role.
He maintained a long-term interest in Unidentified Flying Objects. He had two personal UFO sightings. The first was on July 16, 1952, with his future wife, Frances Hoback, and was reported to the USAFBlue Book project. This sighting was officially classified as aeroplanes as a flight of bombers were in the area.
The then head of Blue Book, Captain Edward Ruppelt was later to write of the case, that,
“The only possible solution to the sighting was that the two men (sic) had seen airplanes. We investigated this report and found that there were several B-26’s from Langley AFB in the area at the time of the sighting. However, none of the B-26 pilots remembered being over Hampton Roads. In fact, all of them had generally stayed well south of Norfolk until about 10:30 P.M. because of thunderstorm activity northwest of Langley. Then there were other factors – the observers heard no sound and they were away from all city noises, also aircraft don’t carry just one or two amber lights, and the distance between the two lights was such that had they been on an airplane the airplane would have been huge or very close to the observers. “And last, but not least, the man from the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics was a very famous aerodynamicist and of such professional stature that if he said the lights weren’t airplanes they weren’t.”
Hill’s second personal UFO sighting, in 1962, was not reported to Blue Book, but is described in his book. Hill was a strong proponent of the extraterrestrial hypothesis, which suggests that some UFOs represent structural craft of extraterrestrial origin. After retiring from NASA he developed his analysis with the aim of demonstrating that those UFOs that are not misidentifications of mundane objects or phenomena, have a coherent and consistent set of performance characteristics that are in line with what is allowable within physical theory. Hill presented his case within his book, ‘Unconventional Flying Objects: A Scientific Analysis’. The book was published posthumously.
‘Unconventional Flying Objects’ was well received by pro-UFO commentators and is widely referenced by pro-UFO writers,
Space Travel Shorter Time Period Than Thought
The basis for the shortened trip in space is NASA scientist engineer’s Paul R. Hills book “Unconventional Flying Objects“ with a forward by astronaut Edgar Mitchell. Hill obtained numerous UFO reports at Langley Air Force Base where I was stationed. NASA was picking up evidence for alien bases on the Moon and the Shuttle was videotaping UFOs. He developed a chapter on space travel with the appropriate math.
He states the trip to, “Aloha Centuri, a triple star system 4.3 light years away made by accelerating at 140 g to a v/c of 0.9999 is accomplished from a standing start to a standing finish in 6 weeks.” He points out that aliens traveling from many of the 2000 known planets could reach here in less than two years, the time it took Sir Francis Drake to go around the world.
Hill states, “I hope I have made it clear that there is an important distinction to be made between the time experienced by the space traveler and the time which passes meanwhile on the home planet and on the planetary destination. The tremendous acceleration, speed, and energy capabilities displayed by UFOs make them well suited to capitalize on this distinction by the attainment of greatly reduced on board times realizable by approaching the speed of light. Even an approach to 90 % of light speed gets the job done for the nearer stars. Higher fractions of light speed give attractive time reductions for longer trips. Don’t be misled by countless statements in the literature that interstellar distances and the speed of light constitute some kind of barrier to space travel. There are only two paths to this conclusion:
Nobody in the universe has the technology to approach the speed of light.
Observer time is significant, and on board time is to be ignored.
Both paths are false ones. The confused second view is more common. Its proponents are using the observed time for light to travel as the shortest possible time for passage is totally false”. Pages 272 and 278. Thanks to NASA’s Paul Hill.
Editor’s Note: There are also strong indications large Mother ships are in this solar system and they have developed bases on the Moon, Earth, and on nearby planets.
Provo – 1967 disc from Lt. Col. Wendell Steven’s files now owned by Open Minds. Air Force Captain Harvey Williams was flying a C- 47 at 12,000 feet when he took this photo of a possible Alien Reproduction Vehicle 25 miles southwest of Provo, Utah. Allegedly, the disc could operate near the speed of light by reducing the mass of the vehicle and withdrawing energy from the space environment.
The late Ben R. Rich, a UCLA School of Engineering alumnus (MS ’50) who is known as the “Father of Stealth,” is recognized as one of the best aircraft engineers in the world and led development of the heralded F-117 stealth fighter. At an engineering conference in Los Angeles on March 23, 1993, Dr. Ben R. Rich stated to the future International Director of the Mutual UFO Network engineer Jan Harzan that “We already have in our possession the technology to take ET home.” This was in a conference room full of aerospace and computer engineers from many different UCLA School of Engineering alumni who worked for aerospace and software companies
Ben showed slides and went through the history of the Skunk Works. Showed pictures of U2 and SR-71 and drones that no one had seen before.-The last slide showed a black disk headed for space. Ben showed this and made the statement, “We now have the technology to take ET home”. During Questions and Answers afterwards he told the engineers that it was now possible to travel to the stars. There was an error in the equations, which was corrected. The time of travel is fast, but he didn’t say how fast. Ben said he believed that security was too oppressive and that the time had come to develop this technology in the commercial world now that the cold war has ended. He died of cancer months later.
A series of retired engineers from TRW, McDonald Douglas, and Lockheed are now revealing that the US has unbelievable advanced technology. That standard college level scientific education is thirty plus years behind.
The US Air Force Academy Space Sciences Textbook warned if UFOs exist they make many of the laws of physics obsolete such as Einstein’s law.
Colonel Donald G. Carpenter writes, “Something that must be guarded against in any such study is the trap of implicitly assuming that our knowledge of Physics (or any other branch of science) is complete. An example of one such trap is selecting a group of physical laws, which we now accept as valid, and assume that they will never be superseded. Five such laws might be:”
Every action must have an opposite and equal reaction.Every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force proportional to the product of the masses and inversely as the square of the distance.3. Energy, mass and momentum are conserved.4. No material body can have a speed as great as c, the speed of light in free space.
5. The maximum energy, E, which can be obtained from a body at rest is E=mc2, where m is the rest mass of the body.
Space Station UFO
On January 29, 2016, looking ISS Space Station on my computer I saw an object outside the ISS. I have a movie you can watch of a cylinder shaped object pass by the ISS and picked up in the Netherlands.

Arkansas Cylinder
LD Harbor — On Russian New Year’s around 8:15 pm, I was headed down to the gym to pick up my daughter on January 14, 2016. She had just called to say that only two of her friends and herself were there and she wanted to be picked up early. As I rounded the corner, I thought I saw a shooting star off to my right, towards the hillside. As I got to the store, I realized it was three blinking lights close together. I thought maybe it was a remote control airplane or a drone. Also, the object was flying pretty fast. When I arrived at the school, I could see the three girls swinging on the swing set waiting for me. My daughter came running at me full speed waiving her arms. She was all excited saying, “Did you see that mom? It was a big drone or something right above us! It hovered right above us! I searched the sky above the school and caught site of the blinking lights. Three colors, the object traveled fast, south, toward the church, then took a sharp left out toward the bay.It headed straight to the airstrip fast! I thought it was going to land. My daughter wanted me to follow it and we spotted it heading our way from the airstrip. It was still out over the bay, my daughter wanted me to stop the truck. She said it was coming closer to check us out, that freaked me out but I stopped the truck anyway. I looked just in time to see the blinking lights fly up higher, fast and go towards the hillside and disappear.
Witness two,. My daughter states, “My two friends saw it hover for some 5 minutes about eight feet above us. After my mom pulled up, it glided toward the church and then over the ocean toward the airport..” Thanks to MUFON CMS
California Lights
Anaheim — My daughter took a picture of the pinkish sky. In the process she captured these four ufo like circles in the picture.
I looked up and saw them as well briefly as I was driving. but as soon as I turned to keep an eye on the road they disappeared.
These don’t look aircraft like in any way and made no sign, or trace, or sound.. And the spacing between all for is exact to the dimension.
I don’t know what we saw but vanished quite quickly. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Note: Four lights are likely a reflection on the camera lens.
El Cajon–The photographer made a great catch of a UFO shooting past a contrail of a jet to investigate it on January 14, 2016. UFOs often monitor aircraft, the closest things to them, and things that fly interest them a lot.#73895 Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Orb
I was driving along I-75 when I spotted this seemingly stationary object on January 4, 2016.
I used my daughters monocular to view the oval object with no familiar shapes or markings. I snapped several photos as best as I could but had to remain safe with children in car.
My eight year old observed object as well. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Lake Buena Vista — I was watching the parade at the Magic Kingdom on January 4, 2016. 2) I was seeing the pictures I had taken, they were good. 3) Just asked my mother and my father what they thought. 4) I did not see the object in the sky, I just saw the picture. 5) I was struck by the photo and what it could be. 6) Unfortunately I did not notice the object in the sky during the event. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Illinois Light
Edinburg – These pictures were taken this evening January 30, 2016. They followed me from Edinburg to Taylorville, Illinois, which is only ten miles from me.
It is just hard to believe that people around here do not even notice the different objects in the sky. I guess their not interested like I am. Hope you are well. Take Care Pam Stark
Indiana Green Ball
Noblesville — The day before Thanksgiving, on November 25, 2015, my husband, Jay, accompanied me to the store. At 21:21 hours, local time, a cloud was lit, from above, as though a plane were just above it. A bright green ball of light passed through the cloud and descended 3,000 feet, slowly towards the ground. My first thought was that maybe this was a missile, but it was traveling excessively slowly. There was no noise, and we could not see it touchdown anywhere because of the terrain. It was a bright emerald green ball of light, I have never seen anything like it. I am glad my husband saw it, too, because I still cannot believe that what we saw was real. Thank you for your website and the work you do. Thanks to Monica
Nebraska Light
Grandisland – I was driving down Highway 281 and seen this funnel like shape cloud coming from the ground and working its way higher on January 27, 2016. I stopped and took a picture of it and at that time, it just stayed in the same spot for about a minute. It then started to work its way back up into the sky.
Then in a blink of an eye, it took off and it was gone. I guess it went into space. But, when I got home, I looked at the pictures and I saw there were white dots in the pictures, which I saw when I took them. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Nevada Cloud
Rachel — For our tenth wedding anniversary my husband and I decided to make the trek to Rachel, since we both love sci-fi and have always wanted to go there. We were between the front and back gate when we saw these clouds so I whipped out my good camera to snap a few shots since the clouds looked cool on May 20, 2012, but the more we look at them and the longer we watched them the more we have become convinced that they were unusual. I felt this huge need to share. I also live near an active air force base and have seen strange craft before, but never ever like this. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Jersey Vapor
Gallaway – I was with three other women in a cemetery on November 1, 2015, All Souls Day to take pictures of orbs. I decided to lie down on graves and said I would treat it like a séance. After getting up and walking over to the Bowen graves, we all were taking pictures of orbs, as it’s believed that the veils are thinner this time of the year. We were reviewing our pictures, and mine was different than the others. They had never seen what I captured. I have attached picture. I thought it was ghosts or spirits that only my camera captured. After seeing Steven Greer’s two hour lectures and his pictures this weekend, I realized it could be associated to ETs. I submitted pictures to Weird NJ and editor said he has seen them before but never as bright as mine. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New York Light
My story begins with what seemed to be a very unusual lucid dream on November 22, 2015. In my dream, I found myself standing in the hall bathroom doorway, wondering how I got there. I turned left and saw a “grey”-type looking creature crouching under my dining room table looking at me. I felt what he was feeling instead, as he stared back at me. He was angry. I knew he had been there for a while, and felt his anger towards my observing him. He was short and crouched, naked, with an enlarged head, and skin like bluish sharkskin. ]
He had a pot like belly and wrinkles around his almond eyes. After those first few moments of our encounter, I awoke, and my fiancé jumped awake at the same time to a huge crash in the dining room. He went and checked first and I followed from the bedroom to the dining room. The corner table had smashed to the ground, two legs broken off. It was even stranger that it seemed to be UNDER the dining table. That is when we realized the dining table had moved three feet towards the wall. A tablet controls it and the tablet just said the company name that manufactures it. No buttons worked, nothing on it worked at all. But all windows and doors were secure and locked. We looked outside and to our shock two unusual bright orbs hung ahead from our front door. This then further supported this strange encounter in our home only moments earlier. We took this photo of one of the orbs. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Ohio Cylinder
Cleveland— We were both at The Pier in Lakewood, hoping to catch a beautiful sunrise of the skyline on December 12, 2015. We both are photographers and tend to only notice the scene, not many specifics. When I did my normal photo analysis I found a weird silver stick-like figure by the Key Bank building. So I zoomed in and found that the figure has a metal look to it. I first got other opinions and when even my professors told me “I have no clue what that is” I knew I caught something literally out of this world.
At first, I was a skeptic and thought it was a plane, but there are no wings. I finally smartened up and concluded it was a UFO. On the second photo, there was a little light that shot into the distance. I felt as though there was a different presence while we were both shooting. It was a weird comfort I had up until the object shot off. The photos were documented at 7:15 am. There was cloud cover, which means it was flying too low in the city for a plane. Sight was lost when it shot off towards the lake area. This raises the question, is this a UFO or a USO? We may never know, but my findings could become key. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Cleveland– It is now January 6, 2016, and at 9:00 pm, last evening I looked at the stars in a very clear sky. Then noticed a much larger very bright white and red triangular shaped object. Thought perhaps a satellite. Two hours later, there were at least five triangles. The original one I viewed had changed position, but only slightly. Some seemed to mingled amongst stars, yet stand out in distinct appearance. We are 30 miles from Cleveland. I’ve seen these twice before in the past. They appear triangular, but seem as if one took three oblong shapes and connected them in the center. Thanks to Mary
Oregon Orb
Vancouver — Grants Pass— My sister lives just outside of Grants Pass and an object just appeared there on January 1, 2016. It then changed direction and she took a string of pictures over almost 30 minutes.
The odd thing is she has no memory of the incident. She had these images on her camera the next day and uploaded them on to her computer.
I thought you should be made aware of this incident. My sister gave me permission to post these pictures. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Tennessee Disc
I was standing at the river taking pictures of the clouds and lightning on February 2, 2015. I spotted the UFO after looking at the photo.
I can even see a vapor-like emission coming from the bottom as commonly described. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Lights
Fort Worth — It was 8:24 pm on January 21, 2016, and I went outside to grab something from my car when I noticed something in the sky that looked like a really bright star. Then another one appeared next to it, and at that time my 8 year old son came outside. “I told him to look,” and right as I said that, another one appeared. I then told him to go inside and get his grandma, and when she came outside another one aligned with the previous three. The objects hovered in the same spot for a few minutes and then began to gradually move away.
The objects would still stay in place for the most part when the airplanes would fly by them. The objects seemed to be about 3-4 times the size of the airplanes. We spotted at least 6 different objects all in different areas. Some of the objects were moving and getting brighter, while others faded away. We watched for about 30 minutes and we filmed a lot of it. Snip. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Washington Orb
Tacoma — This is the third time my wife and I have seen these lights flashing across the sound. Tonight January 24, 2016, at 7:15 PM, my grandson was with us. We have a view over the Puget Sound. They have come from the same area. It looks like they appear over the water and one flew the same route two years ago. I tried taking video, but they appear like yellow and soft red lights, not blinking like aircraft. They made no sound of any kind. Their flight appears more of a hovering motion unlike aircraft that fly in straight line and emit some type of sound. When they got to the same spot in the sky they went up fast and disappeared. They were too high and fast to be drones. On my video and I can see some type of outline. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website
Worldwide Sightings
Australia Black Rim
Geelong — It was the size of my thumbnail at arm’s length and looked like an F-16 fighter from behind without the wings. The after burn was flame colored with a very large black rim with no movement at all on November 14, 2004. There was a bit of wind too so it was definitely not a balloon. It hovered dead still for five minutes so I decided to drive closer to it. That’s when it vanished and gave me goose bumps looking at it because I felt it was checking us out. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Cairns – I was smoking a cigarette at the rear patio at 7:20 pm local time, when a brilliant white rapidly blinking light crossed the sky in a northeast direction, with a directional change resembling a snake’s slither on January 30, 2015. The blinking light travelled very quickly, too fast for a satellite pass, then it stopped abruptly, and hovered for a minute or so. The multiple lights, with the brilliance of the strobe seemed to emanate from alternating point, very close to each-other that changed to bright red.
It then descended like a falling leaf, paused, at which time I had to stand on a chair to view over my neighbors’ roof, The object/light then shot off at high speed. My girlfriend was in the shower when I first viewed the object, and I asked her to wrap a towel around herself, and come out to see this thing. She did this, and also witnessed the object. The object was in clear sky at first and hovered long enough for the clouds to draw closer to it. The cloud-base was around 2500 feet. The object was smaller, and closer, than I had at first guessed, because it was just below the clouds before descending. It occurred to me that this might be a drone, but was travell
ing very fast, over a long distance, in controlled airspace. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Bolivia Disc
Chochis Santa Cruz— We walked two kilometers from the Sanctuary of Chochis and saw a light from afar. We went to investigate. To our surprise it was approaching us.
This light was a vibrating machine and I quickly took a photo with my cell phone. Its speed was impressive. These sites continue to be worth investigating. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Canada Orb
Camrose– On January 23, 2016, around 10:00 pm, we were heading west on Hover Road and off to the northwest we spotted an unusual bright light high in the sky.
James took pictures with his camera. See photograph for details on type of photo and time. It was not a planet and not an aircraft. It just hovered and then slowly moved towards the west. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Regina — At 4:30 AM, a blinding bright light coming through the blinds of the bedroom window on January 30, 2016 woke me up. This happened to me once before in Switzerland in this exact same scenario. At the time, I woke up and noticed how bright it was, and my dog started to howl. The object seemed to move side to side a tad, but stayed hovering with a pulsing bright light which continued until I got tired and went back to sleep. The moon is currently half full so it was not the moon. The light was so bright it woke me up. In the video you can clearly see the pattern of the brightness changing as it pulses in a pattern. The aura around the light is visibly illuminated in a large diameter. Thanks to MUFON CMS
France White Light
When flying from France on January 20, 2016 on the BA flight from Algiers to London in 2547, I clearly watched a very bright white light, stable, who drew on the front cover as a target (a perfect circle with a dot in the middle). This observation was at 3:45 p.m..
The plane was flying at that moment in the Result Region of Limoges in Central France. The cloud cover was at 1500 meters below the unit. The “target” was at least 300 meters in diameter. It was clear that this target was awesome. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Korea Light
Daegu — This is my video reports regarding my mass sightings from South Korea on April 25. 2015. I already reported these videos to other related organizations, SETI Institute, NASA and Breakthrough Listen HQ team. However there was no answer. Please kindly review my edited two videos and contact me if you want. We can capture them anytime in our country! Thanks to MUFON CMS
Nigeria Light
Akwa-Ibom State — Ifot Favou Johnnie writes, “It was said that days after Easter of 2014 in a town in Akwa-Ibom State that an unidentified object came from the sky while the rain was falling at about 21:00 hours.” The bright object came as a light object from the other part of the village in a ship like form.
A bright light entered a house around the village and all the light bulbs exploded. The object passed through a Banana tree, Coconut tree and a Pear tree and in the morning it was found out that the trees where all decayed and dead. The said unidentified object traveled down to the earth and the point where it entered the ground/soil was very soft the next day. From my point of view, I think that these object needs to be examined to know what it really is. Thanks to Ifot Favou Johnnie
Philippines Disc
Please believe…me and my cousin saw a ufo on March 1, 1986, near the volcano. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Spain UFO
Morales de toro (Zamora) – In our family house at 17 hours. I looked at the sky and saw the object the last few seconds before it was hidden in a cloud.
It was the first UFO I’ve seen in my life. It was a silver plate, sphere reflecting the sun that was perfectly spherical. It was hidden to the right side on a cloud and never left. I was surprised and excited by what I saw. Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK/England Object
Between Leicester & Derby — I was driving southbound on M-1 approaching Junction 21 on January 15, 2015. There was traffic on the road and travelling about 20 mph. I noticed through my front windscreen an unusual white short sharp trail perhaps 5 mm in length. It looked well over a mile away in the southeast sky. It started as very small white trail with a 45-degree angle. Then the trail seems to change direction going vertical. At this point, I felt that an object was causing this trail as the trail took an upside down very shape appearance. Which looked like it was caused by drag against whatever this object was. All I could see was the trail though and not an object. It then appeared to change direction again by which it looked like it was going back to the left almost like back on itself, which I have never seen before. I thought best to try to take several pictures. Reviewing the pictures, I managed to capture a transparent star shaped object. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Venezuela Lights
Caracas — A set of flashing lights of red and green color that flew over the mountains of El Ávila National Park.
The lights were observed last October 3, 2015, by Jesus Martinez and his wife.

The Secret Past of Antarctica
The Secret Past of Antarctica
Antarctica was once Atlantis. An antediluvian island continent paradise from where evil nephilim overlords ruled the entire Earth with great ruthlessness using occult knowledge that included things like black magick & super advanced technology taught to them by their fathers - the watchers that fell in the days of Jared [see 1 Enoch 9:6-9].
Poseidonis was the capital of Atlantis. The island continent appeared to sink into the ocean during the Great Deluge mentioned in Genesis 6:5-7,11-13 & 7:17,19-24. Later it was flash frozen due to sudden global crustal displacement where it was covered with ice until the Nazis learned from esoteric Tibetan monks that Antarctica used to be Atlantis during their expedition there from 1938-1939.
The Nazis built Base 211 in Antarctica and started searching for all the flash frozen advanced technology which they tried to retro-engineer until the Americans took over the operation during Operation Highjump.
The Americans then took all the technology found then and later during Operations Deep Freeze with all the occult Nazi scientists back to the U.S.A. to keep retro-engineering all the technology in D.U.M.B.s hidden in the remote desert.
