Dit sterrenstelsel is verste ooit gezien - HLN.be

Bron: VTM NIEUWS

VIDEO Drie sterrenkundigen uit Leiden hebben waarschijnlijk het oudste sterrenstelsel ooit gevonden. Ze zagen een licht van vlak na de oerknal, uit de beginjaren van het heelal. Het licht heeft er 13,4 miljard jaar over gedaan om de aarde te bereiken. Toen het licht werd uitgezonden, was het heelal pas 400 miljoen jaar oud, of drie procent van zijn huidige leeftijd.

Alien-jager heeft naar eigen zeggen vermiste MH370 gevonden

De Amerikaanse alien-jager Scott Waring stuitte tijdens een zoektocht naar een oude UFO op iets vreemds. Hij heeft naar eigen zeggen het vermiste vliegtuig MH370 gevonden in de buurt van Kaap de Goede Hoop in Zuid-Afrika. Dat schrijft de Britse Daily Mail.

De redacteur bij UFO Sightings Daily was oude satellietbeelden aan het bestuderen toen hij iets vreemds opmerkte. Voor de kust van Kaap de Goede Hoop dacht hij het silhouet van een Boeing 777 te zien.

Waring denkt dat het om de al bijna twee jaar vermiste vlucht MH370 van Malaysia Airlines moet gaan. “Het vliegtuig crashte, maar bleef intact,” zei hij. “Ik schat dat het zich vier tot negen meter onder water bevindt.”

Verplaatst

Hij onderzocht een drie jaar oude UFO-melding uit het gebied toen hij een schaduw ontdekte in het water. “Ik heb in de vliegtuigindustrie gewerkt dus ik weet wanneer ik een vliegtuig zie,” aldus Waring.

De satellietfoto dateert van 27 juni 2015, terwijl het toestel op 8 maart 2014 verdween. De omgeving van Kaap de Goede Hoop staat bekend om zijn sterke stromingen en om die reden is het volgens Waring goed mogelijk dat het vliegtuig inmiddels alweer verplaatst is.

Wrakstuk

Vlucht MH370 was op 8 maart 2014 op weg van Kuala Lumpur naar Peking en verdween halverwege van de radar. Er zaten 239 mensen aan boord. Als er geen nieuwe aanwijzingen opduiken, eindigt de zoektocht naar de verdwenen vlucht waarschijnlijk rond juni.

Een wrakstuk dat eerder deze week in Mozambique aanspoelde, is mogelijk afkomstig van het toestel. Momenteel wordt onderzocht of het wrakstuk inderdaad kan worden gelinkt aan MH370.

Missing Flight MH370 Found? On Google Earth Map Near Cape Of Good Hope, March 2016, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery: March 2, 2016
Location of discovery: Cape of Good Hope, South Africa
Google Earth Coordinates:  34°21'21.82"S   18°28'56.02"E
Date of Google Earth Photo: 7/26/2015

I was looking around the Cape of Good Hope for an old UFO sighting I found there years ago, and was hoping to make an update when I came across a shadow in the water. The shadow resembled an airliner. I use to work on B-1 bombers back at Ellsworth SD, at a SAC during my USAF days. I know a plane when I see one. I certainly crawled onto them and in them enough. 

Some sources on the Internet put a Boeing 777-200 fuel at having a range of 12,779 km, which is 1,000 more than it needs to get to Cape of Good Hope, however other sources states that the aircraft has a range of only 10,000 km, so thats  a problem, because then it would crash about 300-500 km from Cape of Good Hope. 

The Google Earth photo is dated 7/26/2015, and it crashed on 3/8/2014. Its had 16 months of moving about. The Cape of Good Hope is going to have powerful currents moving around it with deep crevices, and since the photo on Google is 8 months old, it could have moved 30-60km away if its semi-floating only 4-9 feet under the water. 

I know there is less than 1% of 1% of a chance that this is MH370, but its better than we had 5 minutes ago right?
I will go to Twitter and tweet this to Malasian Airways @MAS to let them know. If you can retweet it, it will give it a better chance that they will see it, and consider it. My Twitter feed is@SCWbooks. I feel awful for those families who lost friends and family on this plane and I hope this might help get them closure.

The CIA declassified hundreds of UFO documents, video, UFO Sighting News.

CIA URL To UFO Files: 

https://www.cia.gov/news-information/blog/2016/take-a-peek-into-our-x-files.html

Here is a great video by Open Minds that discusses the CIAs release of a few CIA documents last month. I have to admit I am surprised the CIA would release the documents, but when you look at it, you will see the files have two extremes, half are extremely negative on UFOs, the other have are extremely positive on UFOs existing. Kind of the same thing the TV show X-Files does to its viewers. 

Its very important read these files, since they also teach you little tidbits of facts that take place before, during and after a UFO or alien sighting. These hidden facts will help you in detecting if a sighting is true or not and if you yourself may be experiencing such an event.

Green UFO Flash Over Yellowstone Park Caught On Cam, Feb 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: February 2016
Location of sighting: Yellowstone Park, Wyoming, USA
Live Cam: http://www.nps.gov/yell/learn/photosmultimedia/webcams.htm

This bright green flash was seen on live Internet cam this week. It is seen at the 32 second mark in the video and looks like a UFO that came out of the parks ground and suddenly powered up and shot away at high speed. The bright flash was moving from the ground upward. Let me explain. The bottom of the green flash has a totally flat surface, yet the top has a mushroom cloud like explosion. For there to be a flat line on the bottom, the object would have to have ended or begun on that point, but since this flat green line is not on the ground but in the sky, it changes the direction of the object to moving upward. 

I have long suspected that the US government has allocated park land and increased it every few years, not for conservation, but because the US allows aliens to build bases under that land. Since the area has few roads, and fewer people, combined with tall mountains and tall pine trees, the likelihood of a UFO seen leaving or coming is extremely small.

UFO Sighting Video – Mysterious Orb Flying Over Jersey

Belleville can now be added to the list of towns in New Jersey that might just get visited by space aliens. Rich T., who lives in the Essex County suburb of approximately 35,000 people, says he’s not the type of person who is on the hunt for UFOs in a regular basis.

Rich, who resides in the township with his wife and children, says he doesn’t always sit on his lawn with binoculars in hand.

However, on one Saturday night, he and his wife saw an orb-like light flying overhead while they put their daughter in her car seat. Rich said the light flew silently from Bloomfield in the northeast direction. A second light joined the first light briefly before they all disappeared, Rich stated.

Rich described the light as something he has not seen before. He said it did not resemble a blimp, helicopter, or a plane. Even after his research about drones, sky lanterns, and other aerial objects, he still could not find one that matched the description of the orb, which, according to Rich, was flying against the wind.

Rich joins among hundreds of skywatchers from New Jersey, who believe they may have witnessed a UFO above the state. Did extra-terrestrial activity happen over Belleville? Watch the video and judge for yourself.

UFO spotted flying over Newmains as resident records a sighting

• BY MICHAEL TEMLETT

UNIDENTIFIED flying object apparently spotted over Newmains in December last year.

image: http://i2.dailyrecord.co.uk/incoming/article7485990.ece

/ALTERNATES/s615/CS75028857.jpg

A NEWMAINS man recorded an apparent UFO sighting last year.

Eric Cunningham posted in December 2015 that an unidentified flying object which was black underneath,and reflected a grey/blueish colour on the top side of the surface.

There have been six reported sightings of UFO’s reported over Lanarkshire since January last year and all sighting were uploaded to the Mutual UFO website.

The website allows users to post online if they believe they have witnessed an unidentified flying object and log their sightings.

Reports are then recorded with many users posting pictures of the UFO’s.

Mr Cunningham posted on the website that after he went outside his friends house on the afternoon of Deceember 10, he spotted the strange object.

He posted: “My attention was drawn to what I first thought was a large binliner or large bird, moving through the sky just to the right of the house.

“As I watched this object, it tilted at a 90 degree angle and moved forwards. Each time it did this I could see that it was black in colour underneath and grey to blueish on the upper surface.

“Although I was still thinking this was some sort of large plastic bag, I could tell that the object wasn’t being blown about in an erratic manner and was travelling in a direct course and pattern.

“It seemed to me that whilst moving, it was flipping and trying to rebalance itself against the upper head winds that were present, although there wasn’t any ground winds.

“I watched this for two to four minutes until it faded in the clouds and out of view.

“I shouted for my friend to come and see what I could see but unfortunately by the time he had arrived – and because of the clouds – he was unable to observe this.”

Hypersonic Flying Tech Could Help Us Reach Any Location on Earth in One Hour

Hypersonic Missiles May Be a Reality in the Next Decade

 

Popular Science

IN BRIEF

The United States Air Force is developing hypersonic technology, and hypersonic missiles are expected in the next decade. Faster-than-sound drones and even manned vehicles may be a reality in the decades beyond.

Exploring the Hypersonic Frontier

After a half-century hiatus, hypersonic research is about to make a comeback in a big way.  And that means super-fast missiles, surveillance drones, and even manned vehicles.

As early as 2020, the Air Force may have a series of prototypes ready for shakedown tests and operational experiments.  According to Major General Thomas Masiello, commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory, the focus will be on incremental, progressive steps building to a viable infrastructure for hypersonic technology.

This represents a more prudent, restrained approach for the Air Force, in contrast to earlier attempts that aimed for a kind of spectacular “moonshot” to create a manned hypersonic system all at once.

“We’re looking for more singles, base hits, versus trying to go for a home run,” Maj. Gen. Masiello explains.

For example, in recent years, the Air Force has been experimenting with the X-51, a hypersonic cruise missile.  Four test flights were conducted, with only a 50-50 success rate.  Not terrible, but not great either; however, Maj. Gen. Masiello sees the two failed flights as more instructive and ultimately fruitful than the successes.  “You have to build an environment that allows failure, because if you don’t, you’re not going to be pushing the boundaries of technology.”

So the failures have contributed to a greater understanding of the significant challenges attending hypersonic research.  It means we’re getting closer to a functional, reliable hypersonic engine.

The Future of Warfare

Further down the road, in the 2030s (it is estimated), the technology will have matured from merely delivering warheads, to hypersonic autonomous surveillance and even armed drones, and fast, high-flying reconnaissance flights.

An even greater development would see manned fighters, bombers, and other Air Force assets outfitted with hypersonic engines, which could usher in a revolution in strategic warfare.  Aircraft carriers, for instance, the backbone of American military might, would be rendered obsolete; floating air bases would no longer be required, since virtually anywhere in the world would be directly accessible in only a few hours from any land base in the United States.

Of course, that raises the specter of other powers developing the same technology, and having the same long reach and strategic capability.  The United States is not the only player at the hypersonic game.  Russia and China have their own programs underway, and it’s understandable why: it would change the strategic arithmetic.

America once led the way in hypersonic research, but the X-15 program was abandoned in the 1960s, and allowed to languish.  So the new programs by the Air Force, if belated, are very welcome to the nation’s war-planners.

“Hypersonic capabilities are inevitable, they are going to happen,” Maj. Gen. Masiello warns.  “If they don’t happen in the United States, they will happen in other countries first.”

An Antimatter Drive In Less Than a Decade? It’s Not as Far-Fetched as You Might Think

Steven Howe/Hbar Technologies, LLC

IN BRIEF

Physicist Gerald Jackson thinks he can build an antimatter drive capable of taking us to the stars in less than a decade; all that’s needed is a little ready cash. To that end, his company, Hbar Technologies, is crowdfunding this lofty ambition with a Kickstarter campaign.

Have Antimatter, Will Travel

Gerald Jackson, a former physicist at Fermilab, has a big dream. He thinks that, given unlimited funds, we could have a fully demonstrable, antimatter-propelled spacecraft prototype ready in less than a decade.

But since he doesn’t possess unlimited economic resources, and since the likelihood of any government underwriting a prohibitively expensive program in antimatter propulsion technology is pretty remote, he’s decided to turn to the guerrilla funding tactics of the 21st century: He’s starting a Kickstarter campaign.

The idea is to raise $200,000 to crowdfund initial antimatter propulsion research for Jackson’s company, Hbar Technologies.

It’s an ambitious goal, but the potential rewards are staggering.  The creation of a functional antimatter engine would mean drastically reduced travel times for space probes, both within the solar system and in the interstellar spaces beyond.  With potential velocities of 40% of the speed of light, it would mean that the stars would suddenly come within our reach; a journey lasting as long as the voyage of the New Horizons probe to Pluto would take us, not merely to the outermost bodies in our solar system, but to whole systems of planets circling nearby stars.

Some experts assert that a more realistic estimate of such a spacecraft’s speed would be about 0.10c (10% of the speed of light), but even this would represent a fantastic speed that is utterly beyond anything we have today, and it would still put a probe in the Alpha Centauri system (the closest alien system to our own) in just 40 years.

The problem is twofold: devising a lightweight propulsion system that doesn’t outweigh the payload by orders of magnitude; and actually getting one’s hands on significant enough quantities of antimatter, a notoriously difficult substance to come across (which, incidentally, is fortunate for those of us made of normal matter).

Jackson thinks he has a solution to the first problem.  “[M]y Hbar partner, physicist Steven Howe, and I came up with a very light propulsion system whose mass was comparative to the payload—an antimatter sail,” he explains.

Making antimatter

As far as the antimatter production problem—that may be a bit more difficult.  Antimatter on Earth can only be found where humans have created it, deep in the hearts of the world’s most powerful particle accelerators—one antiproton at a time.

Jackson and Howe estimated that only 17 grams of antihydrogen would be required to power their antimatter drive, which doesn’t sound like much; however, less than one gram of the stuff has been produced, and none of it has been contained for much more than a day.  So to sum: It’s very difficult to store, and its production would require a multi-billion dollar particle collider solely dedicated to churning out antimatter day after day—a fantastically expensive project.

Still, Jackson continues to dream, and it is of such stuff that the future is built.  He thinks he’s solved the containment issue, and he wants cash to build a proof-of-concept.  The rest, he hopes, will follow in due time.

Meet The Craft

Briefly, the spacecraft design outlined by Jackson and Howe is as follows—the probe will consist of four parts: A carbon “sail” coated with depleted uranium, a storage unit containing the requisite antihydrogen in solid form, an antiproton-powered electrical energy system, and a robotic imaging and instrument package (the science payload).

The actual motive principle behind the antimatter drive is a curious one.  The antihydrogen is used to induce fission, and will produce 2 GeV (2 billion electron volts) of power—far in excess of anything standard chemical rockets generate.  Upon striking a depleted uranium foil within the spacecraft, the antiprotons cause the uranium to fission, producing two “daughter” byproducts which are emitted in opposite directions.

One of these byproducts slams into the uranium-coated sail, imparting its momentum to it like wind bellying the cloth sails of a terrestrial clipper ship.  The other byproduct is exhausted like a conventional rocket propellant—that process of “leaving something behind” quoted in the film Interstellar as the only way mankind has ever found of getting from one place to another in space.  So there are really two propulsive engines at work simultaneously, which (theoretically) cause the spacecraft to accelerate rapidly to appreciable fractions of the speed of light.

It’s an interesting proposal, and well worth investigation.  Perhaps, with Kickstarter funding, Jackson and Howe can start the serious business of making this science fictional technology a reality. That said, they estimate a further $100 million is needed to develop an Earth-based test to prove that the technology actually works…so that may only be something our progeny get to see.

“Crowdfunding may be a good way to show interest in the project when it comes time to find bigger investors or governmental support,” says Jackson.

After that, with sufficient will, and a couple of billion dollars burning a hole in one’s pocket, dispatching antimatter probes capable of 0.40c to the near stars shouldn’t be a problem at all.

The KGB Discovers Mummified Body of Ancient Alien ‘God’

In 1961, the KGB launched Project ISIS, a top-secret program designed to obtain alien technology. It culminated with the discovery of a 13,000 year-old alien body inside a tomb in the Giza Plateau in Egypt.

 

In the early years of the Cold War, Russian military officials feared the United States had gained a tactical advantage through reverse-engineering alien technology, presumably by studying UFOs such as the one that crashed near Roswell. Determined to possess advanced technology themselves, the Russians used their intelligence services to locate several places where extraterrestrial artifacts might be found.

 

 

One of these places was an ancient tomb located in the Giza Plateau in Egypt. They based their search on an old legend about the Tomb of the Visitor God.

 

As the story goes, two Bedouins accidentally stumbled upon the ancient resting place of an alien visitor. Immediately after entering the tomb, the two men fell ill and were hospitalized. Before they succumbed to the mysterious illness, they were able to give details about the tomb’s whereabouts.

 

The Egyptian authorities traded this information with their Russian allies, who wanted to reach the Tomb of the Visitor God before the CIA found out about it. As a result, they quickly organized a Project ISIS expedition. A group of Soviet Egyptologists, scientists and military personnel were assisted by their Egyptian counterparts in locating the tomb. This information is verified by Russian scientist Viktor Ivanvich, who had access to classified KGB documents:

 

There is no doubt that a small group of Russian scientists with military experts have discovered a tomb in Egypt in 1961. But in the documents it has never been revealed exactly what was found inside the sarcophagus. Only sources of the highest ranks of the KGB know that we have found the remains of an alien creature that died in Egypt 10,000 before Christ.”

 

The Russian-Egyptian expedition managed to uncover the tomb and reportedly secured numerous artifacts. According to a report to a senior officer of the KGB, 15 boxes of artifacts were taken from the Tomb of the Visitor God.

 

 

Hieroglyphic inscriptions were copied and translated. Among the inscriptions was a prophecy foretelling about the return of a winged alien god. The report also mentions the presence of a protective barrier:

 

During the inspection of the walls we noticed a strange repulsive force coming out of the walls. We could not find any scientific explanation.”

We thought we were finally getting a basic understanding of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) as rare and one-off events, and then Mother Nature decides to throw us a curve ball and hit us with the first repeating FRB.

The source, FRB 121102, was discovered first in 2012. Last year, an international team of researchers used the Arecibo Observatory radio telescope to look at the same region and they were surprised to find 10 additional bursts. As cataclysmic events don’t repeat themselves, the team believes that these bursts were produced by a highly magnetized, extragalactic neutron star.

FRBs were only discovered about a decade ago, and there are only a handful of known examples. These phenomena are isolated and rare, making it very difficult for scientists to understand their causes. The emission regions are estimated to be just a few hundred kilometers across, and it is thought that these signals are from another galaxy. These two qualities indicate that whatever is behind these events must be very bright.

Hypernovae and colliding binary neutron stars, or even black holes, have all been proposed as potential explanations. These events are all incredibly powerful but they would be a one-off occurrence, not a multiple-burst event like the one observed.

"Not only did these bursts repeat, but their brightness and spectra also differ from those of other FRBs," notes Laura Spitler, first author of the new paper, in a statement.

The research, published in Nature, comes in a big week for FRBs. Last week it was announced that scientists had pinpointed the location of an FRB for the first time, but now that claim is being questioned. Being able to pinpoint the exact location is paramount to understanding better these astrophysical events. To find the exact location of this unusual burst event, scientists will need to study the source in more detail.

"Once we have precisely localized the repeater's position on the sky, we will be able to compare observations from optical and X-ray telescopes and see if there is a galaxy there," says Jason Hessels, associate professor at the University of Amsterdam and the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy. "Finding the host galaxy of this source is critical to understanding its properties."

Blue Origin: Quiet Plans for Spaceships

This artist's illustration of the orbital crew-carrying spaceship planned by the private company Blue Origin was included in the firm's NASA Space Act agreement to continue its work on a commercial crew space vehicle.

Blue Origin is a company best known for being the first in the world to successfully land a reusable rocket on a landing pad. As of early 2016, the company has flown and landed a reusable rocket twice in space; in fact, it was the same rocket making the journey.

Aboard each flight was a prototype of the New Shepard spacecraft, which will carry up to six people and will be used for suborbital flights into space. The firm has funding from Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos. Previously, NASA provided Blue Origin with more than $25 million in contracts (payment was based upon milestones completed) for the Commercial Crew Development program, which is working to develop privately funded space vehicles to bring people to the International Space Station. Ultimately, however, NASA chose to support SpaceX's Dragon and Boeing's CST-100 spacecraft for the flights.

Quiet beginnings

Blue Origin is known in the space industry for not releasing much information about its flights and aspirations ahead of time, unlike companies such as SpaceX and Virgin Galactic. Blue Origin was registered as a company in 2000, and first made it into public attention in 2006 after Bezos made a series of land purchases in Texas.

According to the Wall Street Journal, these purchases were made under names such as "James Cook L.P.," "Jolliet Holdings," "Coronado Ventures," and "Cabot Enterprises," which all traced back to the same address. The corporate names, incidentally, all were based on famous explorers.

In January 2007, according to MSNBC, Blue Origin's website opened for business, featuring videos and photos from such milestones such as a November 2006 test flight.

Blue Origin received two rounds of funding from NASA: $3.7 million in 2010 for the first round of the Commercial Crew Program, and $22 million for the second round in 2011.

The company's most major disclosed setback came in 2011, when it lost a development vehicle around 45,000 feet during a flight test.

"A flight instability drove an angle of attack that triggered our range safety system to terminate thrust on the vehicle. Not the outcome any of us wanted, but we're signed up for this to be hard," wrote Bezos in a Sept. 2, 2011, update to the company's website.

He added that the company was already working on another development vehicle. The next "short hop" took place in November that year.

October 2012 saw tests of the crew capsule escape system; the company dubbed the event "a great day in Texas" on its website. The system soared to 2,307 feet (703 meters) before returning by parachute.

"The progress Blue Origin has made on its suborbital and orbital capabilities really is encouraging for the overall future of human spaceflight," NASA Commercial Crew Program manager Ed Mango said in a statement. "It was awesome to see a spacecraft NASA played a role in developing take flight."

However, as the Commercial Crew program continued, NASA chose rival systems SpaceX Dragon and Boeing CST-100 to provide crew flights to the International Space Station. This left Blue Origin reliant on finding other customers to eventually support its work.

Reusable rocket flights

One of the frontiers of space exploration right now is creating reusable rockets. SpaceX is another company that has been working on the concept for years, but Blue Origin beat them to the punch in landing on solid ground several weeks before SpaceX.

On Nov. 23, 2015, New Shepard flew just past the boundary of space (62.4 miles, or 100.5 kilometers). The rocket and vehicle separated as usual, but the rocket did not fall back to Earth. Instead, it moved toward a landing pad and softly touched down with the assistance of its engines.

"Rockets have always been expendable. Not anymore," stated a blog post on the company's website written by Bezos. "Now safely tucked away at our launch site in West Texas is the rarest of beasts, a used rocket. This flight validates our vehicle architecture and design."

SpaceX landed its Falcon 9 rocket successfully on land in December. Then Blue Origin followed up its world first on Jan. 22, sending the same New Shepard rocket and a vehicle up into space to 63.2 miles or 101.7 km. Following the flight, Bezos wrote that the company may soon have plans to share for a more powerful orbital system.

“We’re already more than three years into development of our first orbital vehicle," he wrote. "Though it will be the small vehicle in our orbital family, it’s still many times larger than New Shepard. I hope to share details about this first orbital vehicle this year."

Australian UFO Sightings Are On The Rise‏

Through the course of 2015 there has been an increase in ufo sightings in Australia.
The start of the year had a great photograph from a government storm watch time lapse camera outside Boonah in southeast Queensland. The disc is a high altitude and an excellent capture and impossible to debunk.

Here’s our sighting report from the start of the year – 

http://www.ufointernationalproject.com/sighting-reports/kalbar-queensland-australia-ufo-sighting-report-with-photo/

As the year progress there where a couple of excellent captures of orbs in quick succession from separate sources of what I believe is the same craft.
The interesting thing of these two sightings is they are similar to a sighting and capture made by MWV from England.

Here’s the sighting report of the first craft – http://www.ufointernationalproject.com/ufo-photos-and-videos/sphere-with-lights-caught-again-on-camera-u-i-p-report/

Then within a week UIP had a similar sighting report with a similar object. My thoughts are these are probably the same craft:

Sphere like UFO witnessed in Australia

Then as the year progressed there was  amazing footage released of an orb moving across the sky. This sighting was capture by a quality camera and is some of the best footage to date.  Please check out our post on this sighting and the impressive video below – http://www.ufointernationalproject.com/ufo-photos-and-videos/perfect-pulsing-orb-caught-chasing-across-the-skies-above-australia/

Then the release in Australia of the DOJO film Australian skies.
I’m always interested in seeing new material and being a Aussie how could I not have a look at this home-grown documentary.

Firstly this film is about Damien Mott from the perspective of Don Meers. Damien is what is described as a photographic contactee who has 300 to 350 ufo events. He recalls from his early childhood being followed by red orbs and witnessed these orbs on dozens of occasions through his lifetime. He has also captured on video and photographed more frequently the bright white orbs we all know.

Daniel travels from his home town Duneedo in New South Wales to southeast Queensland glasshouse mountains and bribe island. A beautiful area. Don Myers director objective is to interview Damien and other witnesses and hopefully have an experience of his own. During the film they do a few night watches for craft  and show some excellent footage taken by Damien.

I made contact with Damien and he was kind enough to issue a statement exclusive to U.I.P

“My interest in the subject of UFOs and the paranormal began back in 1988 after an up close and personal sighting of a glowing red spherical object about 20 ft. above my head. This particular sighting, along with a sighting I had with my step-brothers when I was twelve, launched me into a world of fascination and intrigue with anything related to the phenomenon. Over the past 26 years I have been reading and researching everything and anything that is related to the subject, while sporadically witnessing anomalous lights and even ghost related phenomena at home”. He said.

“I moved to a property in a place called Dunedoo N.S.W. for ten months back in August of 2012. The anomalous action really started to pick up around this time. Soon enough I purchased a camera and began to film the objects that myself and other members of the community were witnessing. People were soon coming in from all over Australia to witness the ‘lights’ for themselves. Journalists from the Sun Herald newspaper also witnessed two lights travelling together across the sky on our property and wrote a story about it. The phenomenon was also witnessed by Presidents of UFO research groups, police officers and pilots. My story appeared on Channel 7 news, Today Tonight (Current Affairs Program), Channel 9’s Today Show live and Sunrise on Channel 7”. 

“After moving to Taree N.S.W. I continued to witness and document strange phenomena. It was during this time that I began to do the lecture and interview circuit in the UFO scene. In 2013 I started up A.A.P.I. (Australian Aerial Phenomena Investigations) to bring together other people who were seeing and filming objects on a semi regular basis. We presently have 8 in the field investigators on the team. Since moving down to Baulkham Hills N.S.W. in April 2014 and upgrading our equipment, we have been very lucky that the phenomena continues to be witnessed by my partner and myself, as well as family and friends. In late 2014, I was approached by the producer of a company called DOJO Media who expressed an interest in making a documentary about what I do and that is how Austr-alien Skies began. This documentary tends to give a bit of a voice to the ‘star chaser’ out there. We do not speculate on what the objects are, but instead share the story and show the evidence and let the viewers make up their own minds. The documentary has just had its Sydney release and it has earned some decent reviews”.

U.I.P SUMMARY
What a great year it’s been in Australia for quality ufo sightings. In fact what a great year all round the world.
Australia is a beautiful country and I’ve had my share of sightings this year with my partner and friends on a recent holiday. Here’s my CE5 experiences
