The Voronezh incident is one of the major alien sighting of the third kind. It took place on September 27, 1989 at a time when the Soviet Union was opening up to the west and reached the headlines of many newspapers across the world. The story was only covered by the soviet news agency, TASS, which until the day of the incident had never endorsed similar stories
Some weeks prior to the incident, strange lights had been reported over the city’s skies. On September 27th 1989, kids playing football at at one of the city’s parks heard a whistling sound and saw a pinkish glow in the sky. Once the UFO landed, it changed to deep red. Out of the flat disc-shaped craft, a number of tall (approximately 3 meters high) humanoid beings (with small three -eyed heads that appeared as extension to the torso with no visible neck) and a robot emerged. According to the witnesses, the humanoids and robot strolled around the area of the landing while the robot gathered organic samples from the ground.
According to some reports, as panic spread the aliens disappeared and reappeared five minutes with one of the aliens this time equipped with a tube-like pistol. Making their way towards their craft, a 16-year-old boy decided to be brave and blocked their way. The aliens were able to make the kid disappear by pointing the gun at it. Witnesses then fled the area and run for their lives. The aliens entered their spacecraft and shot to the skies. As the last trace of the pink glow faded, the boy reappeared, visibly shaken with no recollection of what had happened.
Local policeman Sergei A. Matveyev reassured journalist that it was not a hallucination. Lieutenant Matveyev admitted to not seeing the aliens but saw the UFO flying at low altitude, silent and at great speed. Genrikh M. Silanov, head of the Voronezh Geophysical Laboratory, asked the children that witnessed the incident to draw what they had seen and drawings were similar.
The incident could not be disputed as it took place in broad daylight in one of the major city parks and was witnessed by a few dozens of civilians. The stories reported were also backed-up by scientific data demonstrating an increase in radiation levels (high concentrations of isotope caesium-133) in the UFO landing area immediately after the incident. Some sceptics claimed that the details of the incident were very similar to alien encounters were covered in an american out of print magazine at the time. However,it is highly improbable that the children and other witnesses had access to this magazine.
Variations of the incident exist as a consequence of media coverage or efforts to debunk the whole thing. However the core elements of the story (UFO landed, aliens were witnessed and had interaction with humans) cannot be denied due the number of witnesses and correlating reports.
NASA hacker Gary McKinnon has claimed that when he hacked into US government top-secret files he found evidence that the US Navy had already sent warships into space.
McKinnon is a UFO fanatic and hacker who was famously arrested in 2002 for hacking into the US Navy and NASA systems, with the US dubbing his breach “the biggest military computer hack of all time”.
McKinnon claimed the security was so lax, he didn’t expect to get caught. He used a program called Landsearch to scan documents and files to look for UFO cover-ups, and he did so undetected for two years before the game was up. McKinnon then faced a ten-year legal battle in the UK, only narrowly avoiding extradition to the USA.
He has spoken before about exactly what he discovered during that time, but never in as much depth as in this interview with RichPlanet TV.
McKinnon claims:
In Building 8 at Johnson Space Center, there is someone whose job is only to airbrush UFOs from images, since they are so commonly captured.
He found a US Navy spreadsheet entitled ‘Non-terrestrial officers’. McKinnon admits these words “can be interpreted in various ways,” but one thing is for sure: given the name, we know they’re not based on Earth.
McKinnon says there were maybe 25 rows on the excel spreadsheet with officers’ ranks and names, and that the ships had the prefix ‘USS’, just like American sea vessels.
He claims of evidence of “material transfer between ships”, of which he guesses there are “possibly eight to ten.”
McKinnon says all of this points to evidence that the USA has war ships in space, which might account for why the Bush administration were so keen to have him incarcerated in the States.
In parts 2, 3 and 4 (which follow the video above on YouTube), McKinnon expands on the information shared in this first part (and gives his reasons for not believing in the moon landings, amongst other things).
Many might be quick to label McKinnon a quack or a liar, but in this interview his body language doesn’t suggest he’s making anything up: in fact, during the course of the four-part interview, his story is surprisingly consistent.
This UFO was found by Jason Hunter of Youtube and seems to resemble the TR3B, which is in the hands of the USAF and was made using alien tech and propulsion. I don't think this is USAF in this craft, but clearly it is a ship watching from a distance. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Eyewitness states: A UFO has been found in one of the many Project Apollo Photos. I am looking through them now to find any UFO's or anomalies. This is a wonderful archive and thank you to NASA for releasing.

UFO Disappears into clouds - Ontario, Canada On Feb 21, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Feb 21, 2016 Location of sighting: Ontario, Canada In this video we see two disks made of light, that suddenly disappear as if someone hit a switch. Alien tech does that. It always works fast. These types of UFOs are frequently seen over Moscow, so its a bit of a surprise to hear about them in Canada. Very cool sighting. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: On February 21, 2016 at around 5:50 PM I witnessed 3 UFO's hovering outside. The sighting happen in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada it was a very cloudy day, and the sun was setting at the west. I was in my bedroom about to turn on my PlayStation 4 that is located along my bedroom wall next to a large modern window with the blinds pulled up, As I turned on my PS4 I looked outside to see 3 bright objects in the sky hovering beside each other in a strange formation. At first I thought I was looking at airplanes/helicopters with their headlights turned on but their was no movement, after a few seconds maybe 6-9 seconds one UFO at the very top started blinking randomly, few seconds later the middle UFO dissapered and reappeared in the same exact spot it was in, I called my mom over who was in the kitchen to show her and she did not know what it could be... After a few more seconds 2 UFO's started blinking but very slowly and stopped, the 3rd UFO is slightly hard to see in the video the 3rd UFO is almost like transparent slightly visible, So I pulled out my IPad Air 2 and started recording. 3 seconds into the recording and the UFO's started disappearing one by one. After the UFO's disappeared into the clouds (which is what it looked like) I looked into the sky all around me inside my bedroom window to notice anything unusual and everything looked normal like always. I went back to review the video and noticed a 4th UFO along the right side above the tall middle tree, that 4th UFO must have appeared and disappeared at the same time the last UFO on the left side disappeared. I did not see the 4th UFO when I was recording the other 3 UFO's on the left side disappear on my IPad screen. I have no idea how high and how far away the UFO's were, possibly hovering 2-5K feet high... The UFO's looked VERY large. I did not hear any strange noises or any aircraft engines, Cars were driving on the road so perhaps that is why. The color of the UFO's was a yellow/orange almost like car lights.
Life is everywhere in our universe, so says mathematics (Drake Equation), and you can't argue with the math. Mir found loads of microscopic life growing without them even knowing, similar to what NAS found on the International Space Station a few years ago, when they found giant plankton (ocean) growing outside the space station on the solar panels! Inside or outside, one thing is clear...life exists everywhere in this universe. It doesn't depend on your belief in its existence...apparently nature believes in itself. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
News states: Spacecraft start out clean - as close to germ-free as humans can make them. But after years of use, unused spaces within the walls can become home to unwanted life forms. When NASA joined the Russian space program in its evaluation of the microbial activity aboard the Mir spacecraft, they made some interesting discoveries. NASA's plan was to obtain information that would be useful during long-duration missions. Mir had suffered several power outages during its fifteen years in low earth orbit; temperature and humidity had gone well beyond normal levels. In 1998, NASA astronauts were collecting samples from air and surfaces. Imagine their surprise when they opened an obscure service panel in Mir's Kvant-2 Module and discovered a free-floating mass of water. "According to the astronauts' eyewitness reports, the globule was nearly the size of a basketball," C. Mark Ott, health scientist at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, said. Following a thorough search, several more globules were discovered. The water wasn't clean, either; two of the blobs were brown and the other was milky white. Samples taken back to Earth for analysis contained several dozen species of bacteria and fungi, plus some protozoa, dust mites (see photo), and possibly spirochetes. The temperature behind the panels was a toasty 82 degrees Fahrenheit - perfect for microorganisms. Colonies of unwanted organisms were also found growing on rubber gaskets around windows, on space suit components, cable insulations and tubing, on the insulation of copper wires, and on communications devices.
Car Dashcam Shows A Triangle UFO Above West Virginia
Car Dashcam Shows A Triangle UFO Above West Virginia
A triangular UFO may have appeared to the view of a car enthusiast’s dashcam. A video apparently shows a UFO passing over West Virginia at the start of March.
The mysterious object was caught as the witness, who was running a test of a new vehicle, drove down around 1 in the morning on the state highway.
The video, which has been made available in YouTube, has attracted thousands of views. Talking about the clip, Secureteam said that the UFO passed under the recording and the man’s car while driving on a highway.
Though barely visible in the footage, the UFO has some faint outlines of what look like a red one that is in a triangular formation. Definite circular objects are underneath the UFO.
Some viewers suggest it is a drone and others say it is just a street light. There are viewers also who have doubts about the legitimacy of the video. They say the video had been added to the original footage.
It is not reported as to where in West Virginia the object was caught. The object remains a mystery as no reliable explanation as of yet.

Utsuro Bune – Japanese UFO mystery of 1803
Utsuro Bune – Japanese UFO mystery of 1803
On February 22nd in 1803, an alien woman emerges from Utsuro-bune, or the “hollow ship”, on the shoreline of feudal Japan. The saucer-shaped vessel was 11 feet tall, and 18 feet in diameter. She puts her life in the hands of a small fishing village. And this has been verified by three independent historical documents, which include ancient illustrations.
MoD Scientist Recalls His Encounter With A Bright UFO
MoD Scientist Recalls His Encounter With A Bright UFO
A CGI of the alleged UFO
A scientist at the US Department of Defence has become the latest high-ranking personnel to speak up about aliens and UFOs.
The electromagnetic and laser systems expert of the department requested not to be named to safeguard his career. He claims to have seen a phone receiver-shaped unidentified flying object over woods during a hunting trip in Ontario, Canada.
The witness offered his account during an interview with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), an alien investigation organization.
The man said that he was with a hunting group on August 28, 2013 when he saw a craft at around 9:40 pm for about six minutes. The aircraft was seen just 400 feet away, according to the witness account. The two other members of the team have also not been identified.
In a video interview, the witness claimed they were driving down a logging route and heading to the main highway when they spotted the low-flying craft from the windscreen.
The reporting witness estimated the UFO to be at the highest 150 to 175 feet altitude. He grabbed his rifle scope, downed the window, and hung out the open side window to watch the craft better.
He described the mysterious flying thing as bright, giving the same light intensity as stadium lighting. The witness saw no lines and rivets as the UFO was brilliant in polish. He was looking at things that would normally present on an aircraft, such as the lines in the fuselage that would indicate a landing equipment or a door.
The witness claimed that their cameras did not work for most of the experience. Their cameras got into normal operation when the craft was a quarter of a mile away or more. The man said that his primary reason to come out was to look for help and try to find out how this vehicle flew.
NASA Astronaut Scott Kelly, FINALLY Admits The Existence Of Aliens, After His YEAR In Space
NASA Astronaut Scott Kelly, FINALLY Admits The Existence Of Aliens, After His YEAR In Space
FIRST was the image of what appears to be a large UFO above earth which was photographed on-board the International Space Station (ISS) by the Astronaut Scott Kelly who was arrived back down to earth after a year in space. This photo (please see above) of what looks like a VERY clear unknown craft, was soon dismissed by NASA as part of the ISS (they would say that) BUT NOW Scott Kelly whilst on a live TV interview recently, has very calmly admitted about existence of Aliens above earth.
Scott Kelly at the time of his NASA interview, was discussing about his time in space, when he suddenly broke out with what may be one of the biggest disclosure bombshells EVER! Please watch when it gets to about 20:10 on the video and most importantly that LOOK after his statement and the deafly silence around the studio. He said:
“I think coming back to Gravity is harder than leaving Gravity SO….I don’t know, maybe the ALIENS have got it a lot easier than we do!?” Said Scott Kelly
Please check out the video below, especially from about the 20 minute mark:
The intriguing thing about this incredible statement from a NASA Astronaut who spent over 340 days on-board the ISS in space, is not just what he said and the response afterwards by the people around him, it’s also the way that THIS has not hot the big news – almost as if this is dramatically being hidden away and forgotten about. This is why it is important to show the entire world what Scott said whilst live on TV.
The comment that Scott made about the Aliens and the manner in which he said it, leads us guys here at U.I.P to believe that THIS is only the beginning of the drip feeding of disclosure, we are pretty sure that within time Scott will be sharing far more information about the ET’s to the world ~ just imagine the wonders that he and his crew have seen up there (like the photograph above that he originally put onto Twitter whilst in space!).
The pieces of the jigsaw are starting to fit together nicely now Scott!
U.I.P SUMMARY – Now then ladies and Gentlemen this is an incredible piece of Disclosure. You can see by the look on Scott’s face that he was determined to drop in the ‘Aliens’ into the conversation, and the awkward silence after confirms so much to the world – That NASA know exactly what’s going on up there!
We have had many leading former Astronauts over the recent years confirm the existence of the ET’s, such as Edgar Mitchell (click HERE for more info) Buzz Aldrin, John Grunsfeld (click HERE) – there can no longer be anymore denying their here!
Scott must have seen so many wonders out there in space and he does appear to be a man now whose head is now a million miles away, with OTHER things now firmly implanted in his mind.
Flying Saucers to Mind Control: 7 Declassified Military & CIA Secrets

Government and military secrets can range from terrifying to amusing to downright absurd, but most are nothing short of intriguing. From a secret U.S. Air Force project to build a supersonic flying saucer to a now-famous World War II-era research program that produced the first atomic bombs, here are seven declassified military or CIA secrets.
7. Project 1794
Credit: National Archives
In late 2012, the U.S. Air Force declassified a trove of documents, including records of a secret program to build a flying saucer-type aircraft designed to shoot down Soviet bombers. The ambitious program, called Project 1794, was initiated in the 1950s, and a team of engineers was tasked with building a disc-shape vehicle capable of traveling at supersonic speeds at high altitudes.
The declassified documents reveal plans for the plane to reach a top speed of Mach 4 (four times the speed of sound), and reach an altitude of 100,000 feet (30,480 meters). The project's estimated cost was more than $3 million, which in today's dollars would be more than $26 million.
Project 1794 was canceled in December 1961 after tests suggested the flying saucer design was aerodynamically unstable and would likely be uncontrollable at high speeds (let alone supersonic speeds).
In the 1960s, the U.S. Army embarked on a secret mission to build a series of mobile nuclear missile launch sites under the Greenland ice sheet. The objective was to house medium-range missiles close enough to strike targets within the Soviet Union.
The program was codenamed Project Iceworm, but to test its feasibility, the Army launched a cover research project called "Camp Century" in 1960. Under this guise, engineers built a network of underground buildings and tunnels, including living quarters, a kitchen, a recreation hall, infirmary, laboratories, supply rooms, a communications center and a nuclear power plant.
The base, which was kept secret from the Danish government, operated for seven years. The program was canceled in 1966 after shifting ice created unstable conditions. Today, the crushed remains of Project Iceworm are buried beneath Arctic snow.
During the Cold War, the CIA initiated Project MK-ULTRA, a secret and illegal human research program to investigate potential mind-control systems. The program's operators examined the effects of hypnosis, biological agents and drugs, such as LSD and barbiturates, on human subjects. Some historians suggest the program was designed to develop a mind-control system that could be used to "program" the brains of potential assassins. [The 10 Craziest Military Experiments]
In 1973, then-CIA director Richard Helms ordered that all documents from Project MK-ULTRA be destroyed, but a formal investigation into the program was launched several years later. The project became the basis for several movies, such as "The Manchurian Candidate" and "The Men Who Stare at Goats."
4. Area 51
Credit: Public domain
Almost no other site has garnered as much attention from conspiracy theorists and UFO-enthusiasts as Area 51, a remote desert tract near Groom Lake in Nevada, roughly 83 miles (134 kilometers) northwest of Las Vegas. The intense secrecy surrounding the base sparked peoples' imaginations, and Area 51 was commonly linked to paranormal activities, including pervasive theories that suggested Area 51 hid aliens and UFOs.
In July 2013, declassified documents from the CIA acknowledged the existence of Area 51 for the first time, and confirmed that the top-secret site was used to test a variety of spy planes, including the well-known U-2 reconnaissance aircraft.
While Area 51, which operates as a detachment of Edwards Air Force Base in neighboring California, has never been declared a covert base, the research and activities conducted there were some of the nation's most closely guarded secrets.
While Area 51 was not a top-secret base designed to study extraterrestrials, the U.S. Air Force did study the existence of UFOs. Project Grudge was a short-lived program launched in 1949 to study unidentified flying objects. The mission followed an earlier program, known as Project Sign, which published a report in early 1949 stating that while some UFOs seemed to be actual aircraft, there was not enough data to determine their origins. [Top 10 States for UFO Sightings]
Critics of Project Grudge said the program solely set out to debunk UFO reports, and very little actual research was conducted. In his book on the topic, Edward J. Ruppelt, Air Force Captain and director of Project Grudge, wrote: "[I]t doesn't take a great deal of study of the old UFO files to see that standard intelligence procedures were not being followed by Project Grudge. Everything was being evaluated on the premise that UFOs couldn't exist. No matter what you see or hear, don't believe it."
2. Operation Paperclip
Credit: NASA
In September 1946, President Harry Truman authorized a program called Operation Paperclip, which aimed to lure scientists from Nazi Germany to the United States following World War II. Officials at the Office of Strategic Services (the predecessor to the CIA) recruited German scientists to America to aid the country's postwar efforts, which would also ensure that valuable scientific knowledge would not end up in the hands of the Soviet Union or the divided East and West Germany.
One of the most well-known secret research programs is the Manhattan Project, which eventually produced the world's first atomic bombs. The project began in 1939, and was cloaked in secrecy as physicists investigated the potential power of atomic weapons. From 1942 to 1946, Major General Leslie Groves of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers led the Manhattan Project.
The first nuclear bomb was detonated at 5:30 a.m. on July 16, 1945, during the so-called Trinity test at the Alamogordo Air Base, 120 miles (193 km) south of Albuquerque, N.M. The explosion created a mushroom cloud that stretched 40,000 feet (12,200 m), and the bomb's explosive power was equivalent to more than 15,000 tons of TNT.
A month after the Trinity test, two atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan in the waning stages of World War II. To date, the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki remain the only uses of nuclear weapons in war.
New 'LightningStrike' Plane Will Take Off, Hover & Land Vertically
New 'LightningStrike' Plane Will Take Off, Hover & Land Vertically
by Laura Geggel, Staff Writer
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) has revealed its latest design for the vertical take-off and landing experimental aircraft (VTOL X-plane) in a new concept video. Artist's impression shown
The design, by Aurora Flight Systems, combines fixed-wing technology from planes with rotary-wing technology from helicopters. DARPA awarded Aurora $89.4 million (£62.9 million) to proceed through phases two and three, which will end up in flight tests starting 'in the 2018 timeframe'
The engine would drive 24 ducted fans, nine integrated into each wing and three inside each canard. Both the wings and the canards would rotate to direct thrust for either rearward for forward flight, downward for hovering and at angles during transition between the two. An illustration is pictured
The plane demonstrated in the concept video is unmanned, but the company said the technology could be applied easily to a manned aircraft. The aircraft could fly fast, hover, and land without prepared landing areas
An unmanned aircraft that can take off, hover and land vertically could be closer to reality, as part of a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) program to develop these futuristic flying machines.
DARPA, the government agency charged with developing new military technologies, awarded a contract to Aurora Flight Sciences Corp. to design a new vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft, the company announced March 3.
"Aurora is proud to support DARPA on what we all hope to be a truly historic breakthrough in aviation technology," John Langford, chairman and CEO of Aurora, said in a statement. "If successful, VTOL X-Plane’s radically improved flight capabilities could lead to revolutionary advancement of the U.S. military's future mission capabilities."

Langford said Aurora plans to build a demonstrator aircraft, known as LightningStrike, that will have the following qualities:
-Achieve a top sustained flight speed of 300 to 400 knots (345 to 460 mph, or 556 to 740 km/h);
-Raise aircraft hover efficiency from 60 percent to at least 75 percent;
-Present a more favorable cruise lift-to-drag ratio of at least 10, up from 5 to 6. (Aircraft have high L/D ratio if they produce a lot of lift or have a small amount of aerodynamic drag, according to NASA.); and
-Carry a useful load of at least 40 percent of the vehicle's projected gross weight of 10,000 to 12,000 lbs. (4,500 to 5,400 kilograms).
Aurora is collaborating closely with Rolls-Royce PLC and Honeywell International Inc. to reach a number of milestones. For instance, LightningStrike will be the first aircraft to have distributed hybrid-electric propulsion ducted fans, meaning the hybrid propulsion units are spread out along the aircraft to provide thrust for the plane.
LightningStrike will also have an "innovative" synchronous electric-drive system, tilt-wing and tilt-canard-based propulsion for vertical takeoff and landing (a canard is a wing configuration on the aircraft) and high efficiency for both hover and high-speed forward flight, according to Aurora.
The aircraft will be made with a Rolls-Royce AE 1107C turboshaft engine that can power three Honeywell generators and 24 ducted fans that are distributed on the wings and canards. Moreover, LightningStrike'selectric distributed propulsion system is designed to have integrated and distributed ducted fans that, along with the synchronous electric drive system, would help the aircraft efficiently move forward at a high speed, Aurora representatives said.
"The Aurora team's goal is to help redefine the future of vertical flight," said Mark Wilson, chief operating officer of Rolls-Royce LibertyWorks, an advanced aerospace technology research and design unit.
The company is aiming to begin test flight in 2018, company representatives said.
This bionic fingertip will connect to existing nerves and translate electrical signal accurately--allowing amputees to feel texture again.
ARTIFICIAL FINGERTIP
Check out this bionic fingertip that can let amputees feel rough and smooth textures in real time.
The device was jointly developed by scientists from École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, and Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, Italy and was trialled on the arm of amputee Dennis Aabo Sørensen.
The nerves of Sørensen’s upper arm was connected to the artificial fingertip, where a machine was used to control the device’s movement. As it moved across the plastic, sensors work to generate an electric signal that is then translated to a series of electrical spikes. These signals mimic the nervous system and is promptly sent to Sørensen’s nerves, allowing him to feel in real time.
REAL FEEL
This is the latest in a series of global efforts from various scientific and medical communities seeking to significantly improve the functionality of artificial limbs through the use of brain-machine interfaces.
The bionic fingertip allows Sørensen to feel and distinguish rough and smooth surfaces with much accuracy. In the study, it was reported that he was able to distinguish 96 percent of the simulations correctly, noting that it was what he would feel if he had his real hand.
In a larger study involving non-amputees, “The tactile information was delivered through fine needles that were temporarily attached to the arm’s median nerve through the skin,” the researchers shared in a press release. “The non-amputees were able to distinguish roughness in textures 77 percent of the time.”
“The research demonstrates that the needles relay the information about texture in much the same way as the implanted electrodes, giving scientists new protocols to accelerate for improving touch resolution in prosthetics.”
Former NASA officials reveal the best kept secret of the US government?
Former NASA officials reveal the best kept secret of the US government?
Two recently “fired” NASA “officials” recently revealed the best kept secret of the US government that had been kept “safe” for forty years, saying that there are traces of constructions on the Moon.
Earth’s Moon has always been a much talked about subject and speculation about what it may be have always been present.
We have always wondered why we have not been to the moon recently, we have all seen the mysterious images of the moon that appear to show strange constructions on the surface of the moon yet no one has reached and explored the possibilities throughly.
As revealed by the Russian newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, Ken Johnston, former manager of the Data and Photo Control Department at NASA’s Lunar Receiving Laboratory during the manned Apollo Lunar Program and Richard Hoagland, a former consultant of NASA, uncovered the secret at a conference held at the National Press Club in Washington.
Both of them were involved in the Apollo missions, Hoagland in particular, who presided the Apollo moon landing transmission on television.
Skeptics have already attacked both Johnston and Hoagland suggesting that they have little to none evidence that can support their claims. But is there a chance that they might be right? And that there is something happening on the moon?
Johnston confirmed that, in the 70s, American astronauts saw and recorded “vestiges of human constructions of antiquity” on the moon and photographed some of the technological evidence found on the surface.
After the astronauts brought back the images to Earth, they were handed over to Johnston, responsible for the conservation of the images.
Even though some officials had ordered Johnston to destroy the images he kept them as a secret. Nearly forty years after, Johnston decided to publish these pictures.
He accused NASA of editing original images of the Moon and replacing them with fake images where the structures on the moon had been erased.
The official photos underwent special treatment and, particularly those of the moon landing, which were eventually modified.
According to Hoagland, the Apollo mission astronauts even brought back physical evidence of extraterrestrial technology, advancements that have already been incorporated and are used by countries such as the United States, Russia, China, India and Japan. The United States astronauts brought back from the moon, clear evidence of structures, and items.
Johnston believes that a new round of struggle will have its outcome and, unlike political competition with Russia 50 years ago, this outcome will decide the fate of each and every human being on Earth.
Hoagland stated clearly that besides the truth hidden on the Moon, there are several pieces of evidence that point to the existence of life and traces of life on the red planet.
Adding to the mystery, packages 698,699 and 700 where the moon landing records were kept have vanished from sight.
Whether these two individuals are right about their theories and are telling the truth is something that we will perhaps, not known. But we have to accept for a fact that the moon missions have been, since the beginning, surrounded by numerous enigmas.
Why we have not been to the moon recently is another quest that nobody seems to address.

Is this the most incredible UFO video ever?
Is this the most incredible UFO video ever?
According to a video recording made in southern California, a crashing UFO appears in the sky hurling towards Earth, at one point during the video, a mysterious bright light is seen emerging from the ‘object’ travelling back into space.
According to the witness who claims to have filmed the object falling towards Earth, he noticed a mysterious fireball burning up in the sky. He stopped over and recorded what looked like ‘something’ crashing from space and releasing what Ufologists are calling a ‘escape pod’.
According to Roberts:
“I was driving home after work when this UFO or whatever you call it caught my eye. I pulled over in front of somebody’s house to film it. I would have got a better shot but I didn’t want to jump these peoples fence. Anyway, I don’t know what the hell to make of it. Couldn’t have been a plane because there was no noise. And I never heard a crash after either. The Orb thing flew straight up into the sky and disappeared. Sorry, I didn’t film that. I didn’t know what to focus my attention on.”
The video has been posted last year and since then, numerous theories have been proposed trying to explain what it was. Skeptics firmly believe this is just another CGI, fake video.
In the video, the burning object isn’t as interesting as is what happens half way through the recording when a smaller ‘glowing orb’ is ‘released’ from the object burning up over Southern California.
While there are numerous other videos of similar objects falling from the sky, it is noteworthy to mention that the object seen ‘detaching’ from the original UFO travels in a completely opposite direction, and it is unusual that smaller parts can in fact fly off just like that, which has lead many people to believe that the smaller object is, in fact, some sort of ‘space pod’ with its own propulsive force.
In his accounts, Roberts explains hat he did not follow its trajectory because his camera was focused on the main body of the “crashing” UFO.
Is this another Fake?
While we consider the possibility that the object seen here could ‘potentially’ be some sort of UFO, we have to consider the possibility that this is another fake CGI creation.
According to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) and the American Meteor society, the public did not report any sightings at the time Roberts claims to have seen the UFO crashing towards Earth, releasing what some call an ‘escape pod’.
However, The American Meteor Society did report that people in California did report a fireball crashing towards Earth on Saturday, January 3rd, but no objects were reported on the day Roberts claims to have recorded the UFO.
On ‘Reddit’ people discussed the enigmatic video footage:
One user : ‘I think the Meteor isn’t completely perpendicular with the cameraman, but the falling object IS, which makes it appear to be faster than the meteor.’
Another user gave insight into the movement of the mysterious object: ‘If you look at the trail of the meteor, the tail looks kind of cork-screwed. I imagine the meteor is spinning at a high rate and the orb is something that broke off the main mass due to the rotational force and shot kind of perpendicular to the path of the main mass. The meteor is probably heading away from the camera at an angle to the left, and the mass that breaks off of it is heading away from the camera at an angle to the right.’
Metabunk.org has tagged the video as a hoax: “This appears to be a hoax, with faked camera motion added in Adobe After Effects, as explained in this video by HoaxKiller.”
Whether or not the mysterious UFO is real, and the orb seen flying away in opposite direction is, in fact, an escape pod or not as some people believe is hard to tell. However, there are many people who believe this is a legit UFO sighting while skeptics remain confident that this is just another fake UFO video.

Researcher Discovers that UFOs May Be Living Entities [VIDEO]
Researcher Discovers that UFOs May Be Living Entities [VIDEO]
While most people consider the term ‘UFO’ to be directly linked to that of alien spacecraft, there are some who consider the exact opposite, meaning that instead of the futuristic approach of artificial objects they view UFOs as organic entities that inhabit the cosmic void surrounding us.
After all, we already know about the ‘Water Bears’ or Tardigrades, the micro-animals capable of surviving in the harshest conditions and also in outer space, so why wouldn’t there be other similar creatures?
Such alien bioforms may exist, and are actually well documented by Dr. Franklin Ruehl, an American ufologist and cryptozoologist with a Ph. D. in theoretical nuclear physics from UCLA. According to his analysis, there are biologic entities dubbed ‘Zeroids’ that are living in outer space and can virtually survive in zero temperature and zero atmospheric pressure conditions.
These ‘Zeroids,’ according to Dr. Ruehl, could have developed from organic mixtures found in space to survive its apparently unhospitable conditions, and they could be one of the first lifeforms to arrive or develop in space. If scientists prove this mysterious lifeforms exist, it could bring us one step closer to understanding many of the UFO sightings across the globe, but also from outer space.
Alleged image of Zeroid
In 2012. Dr. Ruehl wrote a detailed report for The Huffington Post in which he offered more details about Zeroids, and how they managed to surpass the test of time and the harsh conditions in outer space. He wrote in the article:
“Considering that our island universe is approximately 13.7 billion years old, it is conceivable that zeroids represent the earliest forms in the cosmic backdrop, perhaps even existing for nearly that entire time. With such an elonged span of time at their disposal, zeroids could easily have trod many different evolutionary paths: They may range in dimensionality from the microscopic to the macroscopic.”
Further on, he explained how these bizarre entities manage to feed and reproduce based on different sightings recorded here on Earth. He added that:
“Morphologies may vary from the utterly simple to the extraordinary complex. They may live singly or in vast colonies. It should, of course, be stressed that humanoid forms are not to be expected. But, intelligence might be a developed feature…For sustenance, zeroids’ primary bill of fare might well be intergalactic dust and gas. Also not to be overlooked is the distinct possibility that larger zeroidal entities might possibly feast upon smaller ones… Zaroids may have migrated to all sectors of space – both within and without galaxies.”
According to Dr. Ruehl, zeroids have expanded a protective shield that’s either physical or electromagnetic in nature, defense mechanism which allows them to survive the leap into our material realm. Such sightings are described as ‘living UFOs.’ His claims are likely to be true, as there are many detailed reports of such entities, including authentic footage. However, Ruehl wanted to highlight two known cases involving zeroids.
In 1976, there was a spectacle of light above the city of Cluj-Napoca, Romania, where these ‘creatures’ materialized into a vivid sphere of light that manifested as it were alive. According to Ruehl, photographs taken of the entity passed all tests of legitimacy.
The second appearance happened in 1978 in British Colombia, when researcher Dorothy Wilkinson surprised a great flock of light beings that resembled space worms, and took as many pictures as she could. Today however, there are many people witnessing these mysterious entities, and there are many videos to prove it.
Are these beings the same with the orb-UFOs? Can they really morph into living spheres of light? These are troubling questions to answer for the moment, but if it proves to be so, it would indeed explain an entire lot of UFO sightings. However, the ‘space worms’ may not be the same with the ‘orb UFOs,’ meaning that our planet is hosting an entire hive of distinct alien lifeforms. Whatever the case, you can filter this information on your own based on the below videos, and please share your thoughts with us.
UFOs were seen flying in and out of 'a major underwater alien base' near Guantanamo Bay almost 50 years ago, according to bizarre claims of a former US Marine.
The ex-Marine has come forward to reveal what he and his comrades experienced in 1968 to 1969 while station at the Guantanamo Bay Naval base.
Although the dates he put down 'are a shot in the dark', he recalls 'heavy UFO traffic over and around the base' that were '50 feet to 100 feet across'.
An ex-Marine has come forward to reveal what he and his comrades experienced in 1968 to 1969 while station at the Guantanamo Bay Naval base (pictured). Although the dates he put down 'are a shot in the dark', he recalls 'heavy UFO traffic over and around the base' that were '50 feet to 100 feet across'
The interview was published by the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), which is said to be the 'largest UFO sightings documenting and investigation organization in the world', reports the Inquisitr.
The interview describes many nights of sightings that he and his fellow soldiers witnessed and although they talked about the activity on base they were forbidden to discuss it in public.
'All of us Marines were amazed at the amount of UFO activity over and around this base,' the witness said.
'Virtually every night UFOs were flying overhead with altitudes of less than 300 feet.'
The Marine, whose name remains anonymous, was given orders to monitor the fence line when he spotted the Martian vehicles.
The testimony was filed as Case 74794 in the archives of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON. The Marine remembers seeing a UFO that looked like a 'big beautiful cloud with a blue and white pulsating light' quietly hovering over their heads. Most of the sightings were near the fence line of the base
He described the UFOs being about 50 feet to 100 feet cross, but were not the flashy saucers shown in the movies.
'Most of these UFOs were approximately 50 to 100 feet across, but to the naked eye came off as a dull, hazy hull with a small red light trailing behind it,' he said.
UFOs were seen flying in and out of 'a major underwater alien base' near Guantanamo Bay, according to bizarre claims of a former US Marine.
'When I stood guard duty on the south side of the base, I witnessed on many, many nights UFOs landing and taking off out of the ocean.'
'There were large blue lights moving around after their landing in the ocean and then slowly dimming down as they obviously descended deeper.'
While monitoring his post, he witnessed several UFOs flying around the area night after night – 'landing and taking off out of the ocean', he explained to investigators.
WHAT HAPPENED DURING ONE OF THE MANY UFO SIGHTINGS?
The witness recalled one event that he said was 'most exciting', which he observed while standing guard at the main gate of the base. He remembers seeing the UFO that looked like a 'big beautiful cloud with a blue and white pulsating light' quietly hovering over their heads
'It was approximately 7p.m. (dark) when I stepped out of the guard shack and looked across the fence at the deserted Cuban guard house when something caught my eye,' the former Marine said.
'Behind the Cuban guard shack near the ground was a huge white cloud with a blue/white, baby blue pulsating light in the middle of it.'
Bewildered by the sighting, he asked of his comrades what they were seeing as it passed over the shack in their direction.
He remembers seeing the UFO that looked like a 'big beautiful cloud with a blue and white pulsating light' quietly hovering over their heads.
A few minutes later the silence was broken by someone yelling 'get the hell out of there'.
A sergeant was yelling from the observation tower, ordering them to vacate the area.
The Marine and other soldier walked towards the barracks just 200 feet away, which allowed them to observe the action from a safe distance.
They saw Intelligence officers pull up to the scene with what looked like a film crew that recorded the alien vehicle while it hovered for about three hours before shooting off into the west.
'The UFO traveled about quarter of a mile, stopped for a moment, then like a bullet, shot straight up in the air until it disappeared,' he said.
After watching the ships take off and land, he assumed there had to be a major underwater UFO base in the Guantanamo Bay.
The witness recalled one event that he said was 'most exciting', which he observed while standing guard at the main gate of the base, reports Open Minds.
Around 7 pm, the former Marine stepped out of the guardhouse, looked over the fence at an empty guardhouse on the other side of the base and saw an enormous white cloud with blue flashing lights near the ground.

He described the UFOs being about 50 feet to 100 feet cross, dull and hazy with a single red light that trailed behind them and blue lights flashed as they landed on the ocean
'It was approximately 7p.m. (dark) when I stepped out of the guard shack and looked across the fence at the deserted Cuban guard house when something caught my eye,' the former Marine said.
'Behind the Cuban guard shack near the ground was a huge white cloud with a blue/white, baby blue pulsating light in the middle of it.'
Bewildered by the sighting, he asked of his comrades what they were seeing as it passed over the shack in their direction.
'ALIENS STOPPED NUCLEAR WAR ON EARTH' SAYS FORMER ASTRONAUT
Aliens came to Earth to stop a nuclear war between America and Russia, according the bizarre claim of a former astronaut.
Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man to walk on the moon, says high-ranking military officials witnessed alien ships during weapons tests throughout the 1940s.
The UFOs, he says, were spotted hovering over the world's first nuclear weapons test which took place on July 16, 1945 in the desolate White Sands deserts of New Mexico.
The Nasa veteran has regularly spoken about his belief in aliens ever since he landed on the surface of the moon during the Apollo 14 mission in 1971.
'White Sands was a testing ground for atomic weapons - and that's what the extra-terrestrials were interested in,' the 84-year-old Texan told Mirror Online.
NASA contractor explains UFO NASA 'conspiracy' theory
'They wanted to know about our military capabilities.
'My own experience talking to people has made it clear the ETs had been attempting to keep us from going to war and help create peace on Earth.'
Dr Mitchell says stories from people who manned missile bases during the 20th Century back up his claims.
'Other officers from bases on the Pacific coast told me their [test] missiles were frequently shot down by alien spacecraft,' he said.
He previously said supposedly real-life ET's were similar to the traditional image of a small frame, large eyes and head.
He claimed our technology is 'not nearly as sophisticated' as theirs and 'had they been hostile', he warned 'we would be been gone by now'.
He remembers seeing the UFO that looked like a 'big beautiful cloud with a blue and white pulsating light' quietly hovering over their heads.

They saw Intelligence officers pull up to the scene with what looked like a film crew that recorded the alien vehicle while it hovered for about three hours before shooting off into the west.
'The UFO traveled about quarter of a mile, stopped for a moment, then like a bullet, shot straight up in the air until it disappeared,' he said.
'I would love to go back there just to see if the UFOs are still showing up.'
THINK YOU'VE BEEN ABDUCTED BY ALIENS? IT MAY BE SLEEP PARALYSIS
Agents Mulder and Scully may have said 'the truth is out there' in the X Files, but it may instead be buried inside the brains of people who claim they have been abducted by aliens.
Those who believe they have had a close encounter of the so-called 'fourth kind' may suffer from false memories or sleep paralysis, a psychologist has claimed.
A rare form of the condition, which can involve hallucinations or the feeling of being dragged out of bed, may explain 'alien abductions' that people sincerely believe happened but can't remember.
Writing for The Psychologist, Christopher C French, of Goldsmiths, the University of London, who specialises in the psychology of paranormal belief and experiences, said there are plausible explanations for why people 'see' flying saucers and think they have been abducted.
He noted that most of the people making these claims are clinically sane, but their belief in life in outer space may influence what they see or feel in strange situations.
'The dates that I have put down is a shot in the dark because that was 50 years ago.'
Last year, a former Nasa employee came forward about the agency covering up a series of UFO sightings that they code named 'Santa Claus'.
Donna Hare claims she was told by numerous sources, which she does not name, about three UFOs that landed shortly after one of the moon landings and Nasa airbrushing UFOs out of satellite pictures, reportedExpress.

Oud-marinier: “Amerikaanse leger verdoezelde UFO’s bij Guantánamo Bay”
Oud-marinier: “Amerikaanse leger verdoezelde UFO’s bij Guantánamo Bay”
Een Amerikaanse oud-marinier heeft beweerd dat er veel UFO’s zijn gezien rond Guantánamo Bay, de controversiële Amerikaanse marinebasis op Cuba die Obama al sinds 2008 probeert te sluiten.
De anonieme man, die tussen 1968 en 1969 was gestationeerd op de basis, heeft 50 jaar na de incidenten besloten de stilte te doorbreken. Hij claimde dat hij samen met collega’s geregeld UFO’s in en uit het water zag vliegen voor de kust van Guantánamo.
Op een dag zou er een blauwverlichte UFO recht boven hem en een collega zijn verschenen. De man zei dat UFO’s geregeld werden gezien boven de basis, waar oud-president Bush na de aanslagen op het World Trade Center een gevangenis opende. Er zaten ruim 800 mensen gevangen. Nu zitten er nog 91 mensen vast.
Vrijwel iedere avond
“We waren allemaal erg onder de indruk van de UFO-activiteit op en rond deze basis,” zei de oud-marinier. “Vrijwel iedere avond vlogen er op minder dan 100 meter UFO’s over.”
Volgens sommigen onderhoudt het Amerikaanse leger contact met aliens. “Nadat de UFO’s in het water waren gevlogen zagen we grote blauwe lichten die steeds zwakker werden terwijl ze in de diepte verdwenen,” zei de klokkenluider.
Op een avond zag hij naar eigen zeggen bij de hoofdingang van de basis een enorme witte wolk met een witblauw licht in het midden. Hij riep een collega terwijl het object naar hen toe bewoog. “Op dat moment werden we gebeld dat we daar als de sodemieter weg moesten gaan,” aldus de oud-marinier.
Geen geluid
“De UFO hing al boven mij en mijn collega,” ging hij verder. “Er was geen geluid te horen. Je zag alleen een prachtige grote witte wolk met een witblauw knipperend licht. We staarden minutenlang naar boven tot een sergeant ons opdracht gaf het gebied te verlaten.”
“Er werd een team samengesteld om de UFO te filmen,” zei hij. “Het object bleef circa drie uur hangen en begon vervolgens het hek te volgen richting het westen. Na een halve kilometer bleef het even hangen om vervolgens recht omhoog te schieten en te verdwijnen.”
Sceptici hechten weinig waarde aan dergelijke getuigenverklaringen omdat er geen ondersteunend bewijs voorhanden is in de vorm van foto’s of verklaringen van andere getuigen. Zij stellen dat mensen verhalen verzinnen over UFO’s om er geld aan te verdienen.
2,000,000 Year Old Figurine Found In Idaho Challenges Evolution Theory, UFO Sighting News.
2,000,000 Year Old Figurine Found In Idaho Challenges Evolution Theory, UFO Sighting News.
Date of discovery: 1889 Age of discovery: 2,000,000 years old Location of discovery: Nampa, Idaho, USA Current Location of discovery:Idaho State Historical Society in Boise, Idaho, USA News source:
We were all taught...history repeats itself. I believe this is truth with the rise of many civilizations on this planet, many of them were not human. Here is more evidence that backs that up. This carved figure being over 2 million years old. If scientists are right and humans were not evolved enough or even in the Americas at that time, then there is only one solution...its from an ancient alien civilization. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
News states: A tiny artifact depicting a human figure was found in 1889, when workers were drilling water well near Nampa, in southwest Idaho. The artifact skillfully formed in clay, is a true mystery that has baffled scientists for many years. “The record of the well shows that… they had penetrated first about fifty feet of soil, then about fifteen feet of basalt, and afterwards passed through alternate beds of clay and quicksand…down to a depth of about three hundred feet when the sand pump began to bring up numerous clay balls, some of them more than two inches in diameter, densely coated with iron oxide,” geologist of Boston Society of Natural History, George Frederick Wright (1838-1921) reported in his book “Origin and Antiquity of Man” (1912). “There is no ground to question the fact that this image came up in the sand pump from the depth reported.”
When the workers reached a layer of clay over 300 feet down in the well boring, their steam pump suddenly spat out a piece of brownish clay formed into a small figurine. “The object is about an inch and a half long, and remarkable for the perfection with which it represents the human form.” He added, “It was a female figure, and had the lifelike lineaments in the parts which were finished that would do credit to the classic centers of art,” Wright wrote. Professor F.W. Putnam of Harvard University found through microscopic analysis that quartz grains under the doll’s right arm had been cemented by iron molecules. This too indicates a great age of the artifact and is reason to believe it is not of recent manufacture. It was deeply colored with the iron oxides characteristic of the deposits from the 300-foot level (91 meters). The strata at this depth is dated at about 2 million years old. Who formed this mostly unusual figurine if not Homo sapiens? “Other than Homo sapiens sapiens, no hominid is known to have fashioned workds of art like the Nampa figurine,” writes Michael Cremo in his famous book ” The Hidden History of the Human Race“. “The evidence therefore suggests that humans of the modern type were living in America at the Plio-Pleistocene age which dates about 2 million years ago.
“According to current Darwinian theories of evolution, figurines like the Idaho image are made only by humans of the modern type, who came into existence only about 200,000 years ago,” Cremo writes. The oldest statues of human figures of a degree of artistry similar to that of the Nampa image only go back to the Late Paleolithic period of Europe, about 20,000 or 30,000 years.” “According to the ancient Sanskrit writings of India, however, humans have been present since the beginning of life on earth. There are figures of gods and goddesses in Indian temples that, according to traditional sources, are as old as the Nampa image and older.” Many scientists investigated this extremely controversial figurine and conducted diverse tests shortly after the discovery. They agreed that the figurine is authentic and of very ancient origins. “One expert, Professor Albert A. Wright of Oberlin College, it was not the product of a small child or amateur, but was made by a true artist. Though badly battered by time, the doll’s appearance is still distinct: it has a bulbous head, with barely discernible mouth and eyes; broad shoulders; short, thick arms; and long legs, the right leg broken off. There are also faint geometric markings on the figure, which represent either clothing patterns or jewelry -they are found mostly on the chest around the neck, and on the arms and writs. The doll is the image of a person of a high civilization, artistically attired.” (J.R. Jochmans, Litt.D., 1979) According to Cremo, the Nampa figurine strongly challenges the evolutionary scenario. Indeed, it does. Nampa artifact is on exhibit at the Idaho State Historical Society in Boise.
I enjoy watching the live Internet cam of the space station. Its interesting to view the world from outside of it. As I was watching, I noticed a long cylinder object floating along side and below the space station. Its speed was matched with the ISS, but the object was semi-transparent. Just when I thought it was about to come into focus, the screen went blue. Thats what happens when NASA catches a UFO on cam, they cut the feed for a few minutes. I did get a shot video of it. Please tell me your thoughts. It reminds me of the cylinder UFO and orbs seen on world wide CNN back in 2006 near the space shuttle atlantis long ago, which was also followed by 5-10 grey metal orbs.
It's a big, crazy world out there, so it's understandable that strange stuff happens in it. Fortunately for us puny humans, science has been able to explain some of it. But, in the same way that explaining a joke ruins it, it remains to be seen whether or not science's explanations take the fun out of the world itself.
1. Raining fish in Sri Lanka Fish fell from the sky onto a Sri Lankan village in May 2014, and no, it wasn't a sign of the apocalypse. According to scientists who spoke with the BBC, whirlwinds formed over shallow water, turning into a waterspout, which is essentially a water tornado. When this happens, the spouts vacuum up everything: fish, frogs, eels. Aside from becoming dizzy, the animals can be carried long distances before the spouts peter out and everything drops. And this wasn't an isolated incident. Such incidents have taken place in India, Nepal, and Saskatchewan, to name a few. Gives new meaning to the term "flying fish."
2.The Beacon of Maracaibo In Venezuela, the area where the Catatumbo River flows into Lake Maracaibo holds the Guinness world record for "the highest concentration of lightning" on the planet. So much lightning flashes that the sky is regularly illuminated for nine hours at night, according to the BBC. It's so intense that the phenomenon has also been photographed from space. This natural light show results from a confluence of wind and topography, or so it's believed. Previous theories, however, have postulated that possible uranium and methane deposits are the source. But one thing's for sure: it makes for a great, natural rave.
3. Orange snow in Omsk In 2007, oily orange snow fell on three locations in Siberia, an area usually known for bears and trees, according to The Guardian. Some of the snow smelled, too. Initially, scientists believed pollution or radioactivity caused the pigmented precipitation. But Russian officials blamed the colorful cascade on a storm carrying dust and clay from Kazakhstan. However, environmentalists found high quantities of acids, nitrates, and iron in the flashy flurries. Sounds like someone's up to some scuzzy chicanery.
4. The year without a summer In the early 19th Century, the Northern Hemisphere decided to skip summer one year, sort of. Known primarily as the Year without a Summer, although there are several other names, colder-than-normal temperatures were recorded during June and July 1816 in disparate locations such as Pennsylvania, Germany, and China. According to Bellrock.org.uk, a massive volcanic eruption in Indonesia, compounded by eruptions in other locations, created what's known as a volcanic winter, where ash blocks out the sun, consequently chilling everything out. The resulting ecliptic sky caused catastrophic crop failures, cattle deaths, and even intensified a cholera outbreak from India to Moscow. Makes you at least slightly grateful for global warming, doesn't it?
5. New England's dark day
For early Americans in the 1780s, New England's dark day must've seemed like God was done with them. While there's no way to prove how any deities were feeling that day, we now know that all-powerful beings being in a bad mood probably weren't the cause…at least not directly. In 2007, University of Missouri researchers found evidence of a huge wildfire that had taken place in Southern Ontario, according to History.com. Winds then carried the resulting smoke over the Northeastern United States, tinging the sky and freaking the bejeezus out of Revolutionary America. Candlemakers must've loved it, though.
6. Sailing stones If you ever visit Racetrack Playa, Death Valley, and it looks like the rocks are moving, don't worry. The sun's not playing tricks on you. They're really moving. But they're not moving on their own. In 2014, scientists discovered the cause of this half-century mystery: ice shove. According to Scientific American, thin layers of ice form on the ground, providing a slippery enough surface for light breezes to push the rocks across the dry lake bed. What's left is a trail tracing the rocks' paths. Now that's a rockslide you can enjoy.
7. Bioluminescent waves In some parts of the world, the beaches are so beautiful that the waves shine at night. It's true! These glowing waves, which can be found in the Everglades, the Maldives, and numerous other places around the world, are actually created by microorganisms, according to National Geographic. These particular microorganisms, phytoplankton, give off light when they're agitated, like when they're struck by waves. The result is an alluring glow, which can be seen in various locations in the world's oceans. It also makes for great, natural mood lighting.
8. Light pillars On January 11, 2016, the residents of Annandale, Minnesota who were awake at 4 a.m. witnessed a spectacular light show, according to Fox News. Colorful beams of light glowed down from the pre-dawn sky. No, aliens weren't attacking the town. What they saw was a display of light pillars. Light pillars, sometimes also called sun pillars or solar pillars, occur when light from any source reflects off ice crystals in the air. The result is shafts of light illuminating the sky that put lightning to shame. That almost makes braving the sub-zero temperatures of Minnesota worth it.
9. Flammable ice bubbles The bubbles found in Lake Abraham in Canada may look like a giant lava lamp, but they're nowhere near as groovy. These brisk globules actually contain methane released by bacteria, after consuming dead organic matter, which is then trapped in the ice, according to The Guardian. For the most part, the bubbles are harmless. That is unless they're lit. In that case, they turn to bitter bombs. That's right: Lake Abraham, the only lake that needs a no-smoking sign.
10. The Door to Hell Science can easily explain the 70-meter-wide Door to Hell in Turkmenistan, because science caused it. According to the Daily Mail, back in 1971, Soviet geologists were drilling what they thought was an oil field. But instead, they wound up opening a natural gas-filled cavern. Fearing a poisonous-gas leak, they lit a match, hoping to burn off the toxic vapor. The gas supply they thought would burn off in a few days continues to burn as of this writing. In 2010, Turkmenistan's president Gurbanbuly Berdimuhamedow wanted the hole closed, but that hasn't happened. And in case you're wondering, people can visit the infernal locale. Just don't forget the marshmallows.
11. Dirty thunderstorms Dirty thunderstorms are the ultimate explosive combination. These crackling ash clouds are essentially lightning created by volcanic eruptions. This dynamic display results from the same thing that causes regular lightning: ice particles colliding to produce a static charge, only with rock and ash thrown into the mix. According to the BBC, these voltaic visuals are actually pretty rare, except for at Mount Sakurajima, where it happens on an almost daily basis. Poor Japan. First Godzilla, now this.
12. The Tunguska Event One of the biggest explosions in history, the Tunguska Event occurred on June 30, 1908 in Siberia. The blast leveled approximately 770 square miles of forest, and supposedly left a glow in the night skies for the next three days, according to an issue of Nature from that time. The cause of the explosion, however, has yet to be fully explained. However, of the possible causes, the leading answer is an asteroid burst, similar to the Chelyabinsk meteor in 2013. What is it with Russia and meteors?
