Nebraska Police In Omaha Has Triangle UFO Sighting
Nebraska Police In Omaha Has Triangle UFO Sighting
An Omaha, Nebraska police officer, reported seeing a slow moving triangular UFO below 500 feet in the sky at a local Walmart store.
The police officer was on duty patrolling near Walmart when he noticed something strange above. He claimed to have seen a triangle-shaped unidentified flying object at 5:38 p.m. on 13th of January 2016.
According to the witness testimony filed as case 74492 in Mutual UFO Network witness reporting database, he knew right away that it was an unusual encounter when he first saw the UFO. The witness said the object, which has three bright lights, moved slowly for several seconds and then vanished in the night sky.
The witness included two sketches in his report, which was filed on 23 February 2016. The case is under investigation. It was assigned to Frederick Zewe, a MUFON field investigator in Nebraska.
One of the sketches shows a representation of the area where the police officer spotted the bizarre object. The other one is a detailed illustration of the triangular object that was spotted over Omaha.
Most UFO sightings can be something man-made or natural. The conclusion of the investigation will help the public weigh in the authenticity of the report.
Here’s a fresh new footage of a bright unidentified object hovering in the sky above Los Angeles in California. This was filmed on Wednesday, 9th March 2016.
A man believes that he videotapes a UFO that uses advanced camouflage technology while flying through storm clouds. YouTube user SAUFOTX was sitting in a parked car when he took the video in San Antonio, Texas.
In the video, the object appears to travel through the sky on an overcast morning in February. The witness was observing the clouds after a heavy storm had passed when he noticed a mysterious looking cloud. He decided to take a photo of it using an LG cell phone.
He saw a saucer-shaped UFO that was moving erratically. The witness uses top of the buildings as reference points. When zooming in, he made out a glow and a shadow underneath the aerial thing. Upon checking the video, he had come to the conclusion that he had seen a massive UFO with a camouflage technology.
However, some viewers of the video don’t agree as they think the object is just a drop of water on a windshield. Similar comments say that the suspicious object was just a drop of rain on the window. Others go on to say that the YouTube user just wants attention so badly that he decides to invent a UFO story.
AN ABDUCTION FROM THE GOLDEN AGE OF ABDUCTIONS.BY DIANE TESSMAN.
On a cold, clear November evening in 1952, I was playing outside with my dog. I was four years old. The next thing I knew, I was up in the air in some kind of flying vehicle. I had but one fear: Would my dog be okay down there on the ground by himself? (He was). It is strange that I felt no fear. I was calm and curious. Today I realize this lack of fear was illogical; by most standards I should have been terrified. Was I drugged or hypnotized so as not to be frightened? I don’t know the answer. The pilots of the small vehicle paid no attention to me. I could see only the back of their heads. One of those looked like a giant grasshopper’s head – insect-like. Suddenly I was in a corridor of some larger place. I know now it was a larger craft. I remembered many details and specifics of my time aboard this craft during my hypnotic regression with Dr. R. Leo Sprinkle many years later.
These incredible specifics are available in my book “The Transformation” on Amazon and Kindle. However I do have conscious memories too, which have always been with me. These are memories of sitting on an Earth-like bench with a human-like man sitting a few feet away, talking to me. He might have been using telepathy, I’m not sure. I describe him as “human but enhanced,” although I cannot define this specifically. His eyes were amber in color and seemed translucent. As bizarre as my experience was, it is the memory of this being which haunts me, and has motivated me throughout the years. He explained that he and his people were from Earth’s future. He told me that he and I were to be part of a project which would be important to the human race. I realize I was only four but I understood these concepts at the time, almost as if I had his understanding of them. I remember staring at what might have been a hologram across the corridor which was surrounded by a few plants and flowers. I realize now that the swirling hologram with its pastel colors of yellow, pink, and blue might have been a mechanism to calm my mind.
There was indeed a medical procedure; this is undeniable. At some point of which I have no conscious memory, a membrane in my mouth was removed. It was the membrane between the upper lip and gums, along the line of symmetry. Many years later, a plastic surgeon confirmed to me that it looks like a laser scar. A laser in 1952? I first noticed the scar on the outside of my mouth when I was about nine years old and experimenting with make-up. As the years went along, I asked my parents many times how and when I got it. They had no idea. I looked into dental procedures or a possible birth defect which was corrected, and into every possible mundane answer.
All of them were a resounding, No!” . The mouth is the most blood-nourished part of the body and has ideal tissue for cloning. But on the other hand, that tissue sample may have been used to cure me of childhood leukemia. I realize that I had symptoms back then which would have been tested today. Did these UFO occupants save my life or did they rob me of my DNA, or both?
Like many other abductees, I spent my entire adult life searching for answers to my childhood encounters. My second encounter took place on the shores of Eagle Lake, Ontario, in the same year. Even today there are many UFO sightings over Canadian lakes. In adulthood, I began receiving “downloads” within my mind during the years I was teaching school. I taught for eleven years in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, and in St. Petersburg, Florida. The messages I received were about a number of coming crises and catastrophes on Earth. These messages seemed to be from the being whom I had encountered at age four! The messages also stressed taking care of our planet and her life-forms, before it is too late.
Do I have any regrets? Should you feel sorry that these incredible experiences happened to me? Please don’t, because I would not change a thing! Yes, my encounters changed my life’s path in a number of major ways; they inspired me to learn about quantum physics, astronomy, astrophysics, ancient tribes and their histories, and so much more!
Because of my encounters, I was motivated to live in Kilkenny, Ireland, for five years and then to experience the Giant Rock area of the High Desert of California for two years where George van Tassel called the aliens to land in the 1950s and 1960s. I then moved back to my native Iowa, right where my childhood encounters took place. Yes, there is plenty of flat, remote land here if the scout craft would like to land again, but what I have done with my ten acres is to establish our Star Network Animal Sanctuary and Wildlife Refuge, which has been flourishing for 19 years, helping uncounted animals in great need.
What have I concluded after being an investigator for MUFON and the Arial Phenomenon Research Organization (APRO) in the late 1970s, and then publishing my own books and publications for abductees and experiencers? I believe that the primary purpose of our UFO visitors is to nudge humankind forward so as to achieve a higher level of collective consciousness. The UFO phenomenon is more about humans taking a step forward in our evolution than it is about the extraterrestrials. I believe in the Human Future! We not only made it through these very difficult times, in the future we are respected members of the Galactic Community.

KEN’S NOTE.I have been in contact with Diane Tessman for a while now and her story is very unique but typical of many alien abductions happening all over the world. My boss George Filer, MUFON State Director, was also abducted as a child in a space craft with his friends. Diane’s story is the tip of the iceburg . Please go to Diane’s links for the whole story.
Hello, 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 disappeared 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.
Shortly after midnight on Jan 14, 2016 a ham radio operator monitoring frequency 127.95 megahertz overhead a pilot reporting strange light(s) near Nephi, UT. Investigation revealed that the aircraft was an American Airlines flight (Airbus 321) en-route from San Francisco, CA to Philadelphia, PA.Erica Lukes (MUFON Director for Utah) learned of the sighting as she is acquainted with the ham radio operator. The radio operator hosts a UFO radio program titled “The Fringe.” Erica requested assistance so I began investigation of the sighting.I wrote a FOIA request to the FAA requesting Tower logs, radar data and voice tapes. Preliminary analysis of these data follows:Attached is a MP3 file containing the conversation between the American Airlines flight and the FAA. The crew had been watching the lights for some time before reporting.
1. Pilot reports a large unusual orange square of lights while flyingat 31,000 feet. 2. The radar shows a dense area of returns at the exact position and time reported by the pilot. 3. These dense returns are well removed from radar sites. The closest site was about 90 miles to the north at Francis Peak, Utah. The other radar was located at Cedar City, Utah about 155 miles to the SSW. 4. These returns are not due to military operations. There are several restricted military operations areas (MOA’s) in Utah, but Nephi is well outside of these areas. 5. These returns are not drones. Regular drones would not be likely detected at the long distances from the radar sites. Military drones would be detected, but they would not be in the area. 6. These returns are likely not due to anomalous propagation. Anomalous propagation generally starts closer to the radar antenna. 7. Birds, weather targets would not be detected in an isolated area that far from the radar sites. 8. Radar angels are sometimes observed. These are false targets, but there would not be that many of them that far removed from the radar sites. 9. Of course keep in mind that the pilot crew saw a large square area of orange lights so the radar and observation “corroborate” each other.
On Video – Unknown Bright Lights Circle The Skies Over Britain
On Video – Unknown Bright Lights Circle The Skies Over Britain
Another dashcam footage made rounds online as it shows not just one, but five mysterious aircraft circling the sky over Edinburgh.
Stunned drivers stare up at strange lights flying along the M8 motorway. These UFOs apparently hovered over Hermiston Gait roundabout. The sighting happened on Wednesday night, and motorist Lee Frame recorded it through his dashcam.
According to the reporting witness, the lights circled the road and disappeared into the night. Lee further revealed that the road during the incident was quite busy, so he thought that lots of other people must have witnessed the mysterious aerial event as well.
While he can’t explain what he had seen, he is sure that it’s not a plane. Lee said the lights seemed to sit in the sky – did not appear to be moving. He just could not believe what he had witnessed that night.
Swiss Scientists Claim ATLANTIS Existed on Mars and Egypt Traded With Them
Swiss Scientists Claim ATLANTIS Existed on Mars and Egypt Traded With Them
Swiss scientists say they can prove beyond a doubt that the Lost City of Atlantis was on Mars, and its astronauts traded with ancient Egypt for a significant period of time!
Even more incredible, they claim to have the evidence to show that the legendary King Tut died spectacularly in a space shuttle crash with an alien crew.
“The Martian Civilization destroyed itself or was destroyed by a meteor while Egypt was still in its prime,” Dr. Stephan Weisz told a gathering of reporters and scientists in Bern, Switzerland.
But the inhabitants left their mark both on Earth and Mars. Top secret photographs taken by America’s Martian probes clearly show the remains of temples on the surface of the planet.
“Egypt’s pyramids and the ability to mummify the human body are definitely the result of technologies that originated not on Earth but someplace else, in this case Mars. It is our belief that the Atlantans traded these technologies to the Egyptians for gold.”
Dr. Weisz and a colleague, Egyptologist Conrad Vetsch, said that a recently deciphered Egyptian scroll first led them to believe that Atlantis was located on Mars. The scroll describes a technologically advanced civilization existing beyond our own planet “in the vast, black ocean of space.”
It also alludes to space travel and the use of a shuttle craft to ferry manlike extraterrestrials from a space-bound mother ship to the surface of Earth.
“Researchers have long known that the Egyptians were exposed to flight because an elaborate model of what they called a glider was found in Tut’s tomb,” Dr. Weisz told the group.
“In light of information gleaned from the scrolls, we now see that the glider was in fact the replica of a space shuttle. And it was just such a space craft that crashed with Tut aboard.”
Not everyone attending the conference agreed with the experts’ theories. Dr. Seth Rausch, a German historian, thinks they went too far in calling the Martian civilization Atlantis.
“I don’t doubt that the Egyptians were in contact with extraterrestrials,” said the expert. “But until we actually inspect the ruins on Mars, there is no way to know if they are the remains of Atlantis.”
“In my opinion, if Atlantis did exist, it existed here on Earth.”
Norwegian astronomer Elling Gade agreed.
“Atlantis might have been the colony of an alien civilization. But it most definitely was located on this planet,” he said.
How come none of these scientists were surprised about temples on Mars? How come these scientists seemed to know of scripts that possibly prove the inter action of ancient Egypt and aliens?
What else is it that the scientific elite are aware of, that we are not? Why is it that they think our history, and things that may determine who we are, are none of our concern? Or, is it just that they think the more secrets they have, the more important they are?
Indian Archaeologists Stumble Across Ruins Of A Great Forgotten Civilisation In Mizoram
Indian Archaeologists Stumble Across Ruins Of A Great Forgotten Civilisation In Mizoram
A team of archaeologists excavating the mysterious megalithic structures at Vangchhia in Champhai district of Mizoram was of the opinion that a city belonging to a greater lost civilization might have once existed there. The excavations concluded on Wednesday.
nelive
Vangchhia is Mizoram's only ASI-protected site.
Sujeet Nayan, assistant superintending archaeologist at ASI Delhi and director of the excavation at Vangchhia, said this was one of the most important archaeological finds of the present time. He said the site held the key to hitherto-unknown facts about Mizoram and the northeast.
The team documented more than 50 structures at Vangchhia and will return soon for further research and study. It collected fragments of charcoal that will be sent to specialized laboratories for carbon dating and other scientific analysis.
"We were exploring what lay beneath the bushes and thick foliage. The entire site could hold traces of a lost city or a greater lost civilization. It is amazing to stumble upon so many things. We need more time and research to reach a final conclusion," said Nayan.

The team came across burial sites that seemed like water pavilion and terraces that were reminiscent of palatial buildings.
The retaining walls or terraces were made of big stones and the average height of each terrace ranged from 10 to 25 feet.
"The terraces might have served as burial sites, but this can't be ascertained as of now," Nayan said. "There are nine terraces. We explored around eight. We also found evidence of what seems to be a water pavilion. We presume people here liked their environment and the water pavilion is comparable to those found in Mughal structures," he added.
Vangchhia is close to the Myanmar border and comprises rolling hills and thick forests. The excavation was conducted after the director general of ASI visited the site in November last year and the objective was to study the structures that have floral, animal and human depictions on them.
∙The menhirs of Vangchhia are Mizoram's first ASI-protected monument.
∙Fragments of charcoal and pottery dug up will be sent to laboratories for carbon dating and other scientific analysis.
∙ ASI said a city belonging to a greater lost civilization might have once existed there.

Filer’s Files #11 – 2016 Intelligence Directs UFOs - PART I
In special reports, this week’s files cover: Admiral Farney on UFOs, UFO Crash in Missouri in 1941. First US Jet Disc, Lt. Colonel Talks about Investigating and Debunking UFO Sightings, Chosen: Chronicles of an Alien Abductee, and We Are Not Alone
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, New Jersey, Oregon, Tennessee, and Washington.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Australia, Canada, Egypt, India, New Zealand, Romania, South Africa, and England and Scotland in the United Kingdom.
The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The weekly intelligence report provides you with information on the latest sightings and UFO news that you need to understand the world situation. The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force and Prince Phillip told me of his personal interest in UFOs. The US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Admiral Farney on UFOs
Navy Admiral Delmar S. Fahrney, former head of the Navy’s guided-missile program, statement was printed in New York Times, January 17, 1957
Retired Rear Adm. Delmer S. Fahrney said he has talked with a number of scientists and engineers who reported seeing strange flying objects. He added,“There are signs that intelligence directs such objects because of the way they fly. They are not entirely actuated by automatic equipment.” He said, “By the way they change position in formations and override each other would indicate that their motion involves a tremendous amount of technology of which we have no knowledge, and that their development must have taken a long period of time.”
Fahrney also stated, “Reliable reports indicate there are objects coming into our atmosphere at very high speeds and controlled by thinking intelligence’s.”
“There are objects coming into our atmosphere at very high speeds… No agency in this country or Russia is able to duplicate at this time the speeds and accelerations which radars and observers indicate these flying objects are able to achieve….
On January 16, 1957 – the day after NICAP’s Board of Governors met for the first time – Board Chairman Delmer S. Fahrney called a press conference. News media all over the country quoted his statements identifying him as one of the few “top brass” to speak out in defense of UFOs.
Note; A friend of mine Commander Bethune a pilot for Navy VIPs often flew Admiral Fahrney to Wright Patterson Air Force Base where he claimed some alien craft were kept and examined. The Navy became primary researchers for the government while the Air Force took most the heat from the news media.
UFO Crash in Missouri in 1941
By Paul Blake Smith, the 1941 UFO crash might well be the most exciting, shocking, and impact event that is now the subject of a new book.
Did three extraterrestrials really crash-land their circular spaceship on a farm just outside of Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Pastor William G. Huffman, was called by police authorities to travel immediately to a crash site on April 12, 1941, He was to administer the last rites to the three member alien aircrew. Paster Huffman was escorted to the site and saw a crashed metal spaceship. The craft was flown by three identical Grey aliens.
This stunning recovery was then allegedly taken to a secret hiding place beneath perhaps the most recognizable building in the world? Was an aspect of the scientifically examined alien craft’s propulsion system applied to the U.S. nuclear weapons program to help win World War II?
The serious, amazing pre-Roswell claims and quotes, rumors and insights, opinions and documented facts are all examined here, in proper chronological, easy-to-read order, the only book to ever comprehensively explore perhaps the wildest nonfiction story of all time.
This book indicates the US had a crashed saucer from space to evaluate and to back engineer its technology as early as 1941;Huffman said he was given a photo of two men holding up one of the aliens, but the image was taken by a so-called photo expert and never returned to the Huffman family. he believes the aliens and their damaged craft were initially brought to the Sikeston Missouri Institute for Aeronautics, before being stored in an underground facility beneath the Capitol building in Washington DC. According to two sisters from Ohio, their father, Rev. Turner Holt, was taken on a tour of the secret rooms in the 1940s by Secretary of State Cordell Hull and shown three large jars, each containing a non-human with big eyes.Read the full recap here.
Below is a declassified oval office Top Secret memo indicates the alien crash was real and the recovered crash helped in the development of the atomic bomb in th Manhatten Project. Also they now have the opportunity to extend our technology.
First US Jet Disc
During World War II and immediately after the Navy developed a disc shaped craft. It’s possible the crashed Cape Girardeau craft helped in the development of the first US Jet Disc.
The first flight of the V-173 with conventional propellor engines was on 23 November 1942 with Vought Chief Test Pilot Boone Guyton at the controls. The aircraft’s most significant problem concerned its complicated gearbox that routed power from the engines to its two long propeller shafts. The gearbox produced unacceptable amounts of vibration in ground testing, delaying the aircraft’s first test flight for months. Flight testing of the V-173 went on through 1942 and 1943 with 190 flights, resulting in reports ofUFOs from surprised Connecticut locals. Charles Lindbergh piloted the V-173 during this time and found it surprisingly easy to handle and exhibiting impressive low-speed capabilities. On one occasion, the V-173 was forced to make an emergency landing on a beach. As the pilot made his final approach, he noticed two bathers directly in his path. The pilot locked the aircraft’s brakes on landing, causing the aircraft to flip over onto its back. Remarkably, the airframe proved so strong that neither the plane nor the pilot sustained any significant damage.
The basic wing area (427 sq ft.) and plan form (less elevators and propeller nacelles) of the V-173 and XF5U-1 were identical tested. A developed version of the originalV-173prototype, the XF5U-1 was a larger aircraft. Of all-metal construction, it was almost five times heavier. A modernized version with jet engines is shown in the photo.
The Navy’s Bureau of Aeronautics established the Navy Liaison Office at Edwards AFB on August 28, 1946, to oversee development of the Vought XF5U-1 Skimmer.
Lt. Colonel Talks about Investigating and Debunking UFO Sightings
Recently at the International UFO Congress, an ex-fighter pilot approached Open Minds Antonio Huneeus and asked to share his story.
Retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Dick French’s 27 years of military experience has taken him around the world. He has flown fighter jets in Vietnam and Korea, operated in military intelligence, and been exposed to some of our nation’s biggest secrets. His career started in the AFOSI (Air Force Office of Special Investigations) where he would conduct stakeouts to remove personnel who were breaking the military’s code of conduct. He then moved on to pilot training school and became a pilot.
Later he was transferred to the 6004’s Air Intelligence Security Squadron where it was his duty to investigate any reported UFO sighting. He would collect any photographic evidence, question witnesses on the size and shape of the object, its estimated capability, and any other occurrences that surround the sighting. In the end though,
Lt. Col. French talked to me on several occasions and spoke very openly that UFOs exist and some are likely extraterrestrial. He indicated we did have pieces of alien craft but not much could be discerned from them. French mct Army Lt. Colonel Philip Corso who claimed key UFO parts were sent to aviation companies without explaining their source. He also claimed various advanced technology was back engineered.
Lt. Col. Richard French was a lead investigator on Project Blue Book in the 1950s, his job was to shoot down false reports of UFOs. Superiors told him to debunk the sightings however he could. They personally did not believe in alien UFOs. This position allowed him to travel to many interesting UFO hot spots while meeting high-ranking officials. Given his job, French never dreamed he would end up in Newfoundland one day watching what appeared to him to be two extraterrestrials performing repairs on a submerged, unknown circular craft.
In Washington, D.C., recently, the 83-year-old retired officer testified at the Citizen Hearing On Disclosure in May3, of 2013 at the National Press Club in Washington a panel of six former members of Congress about his work as a UFO debunker in 1952.
French recounted how the Newfoundland incident unfolded in the early 1950s, after two UFOs were seen off the coast of St. John’s. French’s superiors ordered him to look into the situation.
“They told me there were two UFOs involved and that they were deep under the water, after entering the water doing roughly 100 miles an hour.
“There were a 100 people assembled on the wharf looking in amazement at the water, including several local policemen.”
Col. Richard French, Capt. Jim Courant, Major George Filer and John Callahan at the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure:
French recalls the water was very clear and he could see two circular craft, each one about 18 feet in diameter and approximately 3 feet thick. He said the two objects were floating below the surface of the water, a couple of feet apart, not more than 20 feet from the shore. And he saw two beings in the water near the ships.“The first thing I saw was the UFOs, and it was apparent to me that they were doing something to the craft, and I couldn’t really tell what because they were on the bottom side of it and not visible to me except when they would occasionally get over to the side where I could see them. The water was fairly clear and I could see without any trouble. They weren’t down at the bottom of the [seabed] — they were about half way down.”
The beings he saw “were about 2 or 3 feet tall, light grey in color, very thin, long arms with either two or three fingers. The top of their heads was much wider than their jaw line, their eyes were very slanted and you couldn’t see pupils in them. They looked the way [aliens] have been depicted in motion pictures.”
As French watched, one of the ships began to rise out of the water.
“When it hit the [surface], it was going about 100 miles an hour. It then accelerated to somewhere in the neighborhood of 2,500 to 3,000 miles an hour and disappeared. It returned about 20 minutes later, slowed down to nearly a stop before it entered the water, then went down, and the two [beings] worked together.
“It took them about 20 minutes and then the two ships departed together, again slow when they exited the water, and immediately they sped up to a very high speed. I believe they were repairing [the ship] and tested that the repairs had been adequate, and then away they went.” Thanks to Lee Speigel and Antonio Huneeus
Chosen: Chronicles of an Alien Abductee
5 Stars.
Alien abductions are the kind of thing most people have a healthy skepticism about. After all, when the main proof comes from the people who have claimed to be abducted, and it is difficult to give too much credence to what they might say. Sometimes, however, the proof they give is so compelling that even the heartiest skeptic must sometimes be convinced to believe that it may at least be possible. That is the case with Byron Lacy’s account in Chosen.
Lacy’s book is full of recollections not only of his abductions by various aliens, but also of how those abductions have affected his life.
He tells them in such a straightforward, ordinary way, and with so many details, that it’s hard to be skeptical about his story. The details, too, are convincing enough to make anyone at least consider the possibility. After all, what other explanation could there be for a small child being healed of sarcoma after a doctor told his parents that they might as well have another child already as a replacement? What other explanation could there be for Byron’s numerous accounts of having “lost time,” or of his finding scratches and puncture wounds on his body, or of the memories that suddenly resurface about having been brought aboard an alien ship? These questions kept returning to my mind as I read, and I could think of no other answer except to believe that Lacy was telling the truth.
The one complaint I had about the book is the way Lacy presents his story. It does not go in chronological order, which can make it rather hard to follow, and I sometimes had trouble telling when a particular chapter took place. If you stick with it, though, you will find a compelling story that I would recommend to anyone who has had even the slightest question about whether we really are alone in the universe. SAN FRANCISCO BOOK REVIEW.
Scoop marks on Byron’s right leg
Byron W. Lacy has written an excellent book that should be read by everyone, because if you suspect you are an abductee this is the book you should read. Lacy, a civil servant, musician, artist, and poet was born in Texas. The young Byron was not expected to survive a childhood case of sarcoma cancer. Yet he did, miraculously. In 1961, he witnessed a flying submarine like thing at close range over his entire elementary school class as they exercised in the yard. Other uncanny events include repeated narrow escapes from deadly car accidents. Only in 2009, after seeing a couple of “stargates” materialize in the sky was Lacy convinced he had been alien plagued and abducted for a generation. His imaginary playmate “pirates” Byron saw, as a little boy were the enigmatic intruders. Byron believes he and fellow “abductees” endured many strange experiences: missing time, bodily implants and mysterious scarring, and “little gray” humanoids. For Byron, it is obvious; skeptics be damned, and countless folks are being abducted. A far-out, disconcertingly readable memoir that flatly declares everything about aliens you read online or see dramatized on TV is true. _Kirkus Reviews, ORDER HERE

Filer’s Files #11 – 2016 Intelligence Directs UFOs - PART II
Sightings in the United States
Arkansas Triangle
Malvern — My sighting was about 19’85, when I took my poodle outside and noticed a big light or huge star but it was too close to the ground. I called my two daughters and their boyfriend to come outside and the light started coming toward us. I thought it was a helicopte with a couple lights on the side, that were green,.maybe red, with a white one in the front. The object was triangle, dark and flew on the other side of my cousin’s house. There was no sound and we were stunned. The UFO was in the direction of a place that is called National Lead at Magnet Cove. My thought was the UFO was getting some kind of power from these mines since it hovered for so long? I lived just 8 miles out of Malvern, and I have had this on my mind for years and would like to be hypnotized. My mother saw this UFO coming in from church one night. Thanks to Jannis and Website
California Light
San Ramon – I was out on my back deck early this morning on March 6, 2016, and took pictures of a beautiful sunrise after a storm last night. When I came in to my room to look at my pictures I saw a light that I initially thought was a star. However, I took the pictures one right after the other and saw that the bright object had moved significantly. When I enlarged the picture it almost looks like a bright greenish yellow bell shaped object. I thought this is very interesting and not quite normal. I felt excited about seeing the object in my pictures. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Brea— Hiking in Carbon Canyon—I was out taking pictures Sunday, March 6, 2016, at 11 AM—in clear sky. I took 71 pictures. Hours later, when sharing pictures, noticed light blue circle, different blue than sky, in two pictures.
Upon further review of pictures, a light-blue sphere or circle could clearly be seen–with four prominent white lights. The object was not noticed while I was taking the pictures. In reviewing pictures that were snapped in a millisecond rate, the circle appeared to have moved from a cloud to open blue space between clouds. Planes coming from south appeared to be flying unusually low and doing circular patterns thru clouds in early evening. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Colorado Object
Denver — I was taking pictures of myself and an American flag on February 29, 2016. After I got home, I looked through the photos and saw an object in the sky. I have no idea what it is. Possibly a drone.
I’m really curious and excited about it. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Orb
Delray — I was at the public beach on February 27, 2016, admiring the beautiful cloud formations when I noticed a very bright rectangle or oblong in the southeast sky. It was too far for me to see the details. After ten minutes, I didn’t notice it but then after about ten more minutes. I saw it again in the east, 30 degrees above the horizon.
There was a boat out in the ocean that looked as it may have been trying to go towards the object. Then a small plane and two helicopters flew around above us at the beach. The black helicopter was hovering over the ocean then moved to try to photograph the UFO. Very odd to hear the two copters and a small plane at the same time in the same area. I decided to take photos with my iPhone. It was just odd….so bright -enough to stand out. It did not scoot around,..but did fly east within the 45 minutes. The object was still there when I left. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Illinois Objects
Paris — My husband wanted a picture of the flag at this farm we were passing on February 29, 2016. The strong winds made it look amazing.
I took pictures and then later when reviewing saw the three craft to the left of the flag. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Indiana Lights
Indianapolis – On March 2, 2016, the witness called and reported his sighting a few minutes after occurrence. He was outside stargazing and saw very bright, large orange lights “floating in their own pattern to the northeast. He saw the lights rising from the ground. The lights vanished quickly in about 10 minutes behind the tree line. A few minutes later the witness saw a large orange light hovering in the sky. Two photos and a video were taken by cell phone. The video did not reveal any detail and is not displayed in this report. No sound was heard. Skies were clear and stars were visible at the time of the sighting. They did seem to be the same size. The witness later added that he saw around 15 objects above the tree line.Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website
New Jersey Craft
airview – Three witnesses were abducted into a saucer shaped craft with a rainbow of lights. Three teenage witnesses were playing basketball from 6 to 9 AM Saturday morning July 1974,. Weather was clear and sunny and they were across the street from a fire station in Fairview, NJ. While walking back to his friends home noticed that the area was empty of cars and people when normally there would be “50 to 100 people in the park.” Noticed rainbow colors out of the corner of his right eye rainbow colors. When he looked he saw a shining silver metallic saucer with round tinted windows. He alerted his two friends who also saw the craft. He heard and felt whirring/roaring and his shirt was flapping as if in “a 50 mile an hour wind” but there was no wind. They were paralyzed and could not run.
They arrived back at his friend’s home with no memory of walking there. Witness discussed the incident with two friends and they had no memory of being on the ship as he did. He recalls seeing them on “operating tables” but he was standing 30 feet away. Ship appeared larger inside than outside, possibly 400 feet across. About 25 creatures, four feet tall were present with about 10 to 15 around him and the rest around his friends. The creatures were gray in color with large round heads and large black eyes. The creatures were touching him all over. They were speaking telepathically and were surprised when they realized that he could hear them. His mother had told him that there was psychic ability in their family but he had never really believed it. He asked why they were there? His impression was that they were friendly and curious and meant no harm. He believed that they were trying to help his two friends, who both had heart problems and he believes that their lives may have been extended by the aid rendered on the craft. He remembers looking out the window and down onto the basketball court where they had been playing.
He could see other beings moving about in long corridors. He remembers seeing the craft ascend after they had been returned. It moved up and to the right, leaving a rainbow colored trail behind. When he returned to his home his mother said he seemed changed and he replied, “It’s no big deal mom.” Thanks to MUFON CMS Millville — I always look up-as I love astronomy-and I see a bright pulsating star- at about 45degrees facing east on February 25, 2016. It had fuzzy edges and rear facing “arm like appendages” on top. I asked wife and daughter to come
Oregon Saucer
Sherwood — In 1952, my father and I were cutting down a tree and I looked up and saw this hovering saucer coming towards us. It made a humming noise but had no lights. It was about 75 yards from us; I could have hit it with a gun, and about 75 feet from us. It came slowly towards us and hovered over us for about 5 minutes. It had round dark colored windows, about two feet in size, going around the side and was an aluminum color with no lights. It had a dome on top like an upside down cup, and it came almost to the edge of the saucer. The bottom had a four-foot fan/blade like a spinning wheel, spinning on the bottom. It was going fast. My mom saw it too. We watched it and it hovered over us, then it shot straight up and went out of sight. It left a pure white corkscrew trail as it lifted off. The trail stayed a long time until the breeze dissipated it. We wanted to call Portland but thought no one would believe us. I am in my eighties now and wanted to tell my story. Photo is a rendering. Thanks to MUFON CMS”
Tennessee Ship
I had walked out on front porch and looked up and saw at first what I thought my be another helicopter going over on March 6 2016 . Yet I discovered this was no chopper. 8:50PM
No sound, It had four Orange lights, they swirled inside like plasma. Orange, light orange and a tint of yellow. It actaully reflected on the bottom of craft. One white light on each end of these orange plasma lights. and alot of little strobe like lights all over it.
Where the orange lights are the craft extended out in a cigar shape and rounded up. The lights illuminated the bottom of the craft. A beautiful black yet shiny metal.The plasma was like reaching up the curve of the bottom of the ship. Beatiful it was. I made a computer drawing, although it is not the best, my apologies. The grey shape is the oval rounded part coming down to were the lights are. Thanks to MUFON CMS
This is not a cigar craft or tube that people claim to see, but I do see were they could get confused. out to help me clarify what I am seeing?-They see it also. I took cell phone video, with audio description of what we are “seeing”. I ran in to get binoculars;-the craft is dinner plate shaped with an indented pie plate look. The “arms” I saw was actually the craft turning up on it’s side while hovering for 51 minutes of observation. At least ten other jets were flying in different directions. This thing defies ANYTHING I have ever seen. We felt awe and lost sight when the were stars were obscured by clouds. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Disc
Groesbeck – On February 25, 2016, I was taking photos at the Old Fort Parker Historic Site five miles north of Groesbeck, in Limestone County.
I did not see object. I found it on frame #4070 four days later when my file was downloaded for processing. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Washington Lights
Auburn – On February 23, 2016, at 6:55 PM, my wife and I saw two formations of reddish orbs. The first formation had three orbs in a triangular pattern heading west. The second formation was huge! I counted 10 orbs on a specific formation following the first formation that had vanished. Attached is an iPhone picture of the second formation in the sky. You can see the cluster in the sky and houses below.
Note:Skies were cloudy with bases at 24,000 feet and 10,000 feet. Surface winds were from the east at 13 MPH. Winds were from the east to southeast in the lower 5,000 feet of the atmosphere. This suggests that the objects were drifting with the wind and could be like Chinese Lanterns. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Argentina Sphere
Puerto Punta Loyola — I was filming for nearly 25 minutes on February 25, 2016 at a time the lights had already moved further south and were directly over the mountain. They made a motion like turning on each other, they were quiet for a second and started rising slower towards the south. It followed the line of the coast and entered towards the sea.
All this happened about noon and lasted less than half an hour. I could go to see UFOs at any time. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Australia Orb
St Kilda, Melbourne – On February 29, 2016, I noticed an object as it reflected light, and was stationary for some time
I have no idea what object was that I was able to see with my naked eye. I then took photos of the object to view via camera. Object looks like a set of wings and, stayed in the same location, and then disappeared. Lost site of object as it disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Sydney — I saw a triangular flash of light move northwest on a clear night on January 3, 2016, at 10:30 pm, in a clear sky.. The object moved from as far as I could physically see in about 1 second then lifted outwards into the atmosphere. The light was very hazy bright like you would see with lightening flashes through storm clouds. The object was extremely large. If you look at the Southern Cross from earth, we have the two pointers.. this object was as wide as the gap between the two pointers so it was HUGE. It seemed to me that this was very high in the night sky so I can only imagine how big it was. I heard no sounds although it looked to move faster than the speed of light. Thanks to UFOINFO
Canada Lights
St.Marie-St.Racheal, N.B. –These pictures were taken with my friend’s hunting camera in the woods near this home on January 11, and 13, 2016 in St.Marie-St.Racheal, N.B. I was only able to send 9 pictures, the remanding 20 pictures are much more brighter.They were taken on two different nights, 8 pictures on January 11-2016 late in the night and 21 pictures also late in the night.
In the back ground you will notice the feeding box for the animals. I would also like to add that since this event happen, all the animals have stopped coming to eat in these area, whereas before they would come on a daily bases. The light seems to come from sky. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Kanata, Ontario — My husband took these pictures in the parking lot at 840 March Road, on March K2W 0C9. He was taking pictures of the sundog, as it was unusually bright. Later, he told me that he did not notice the disk when he took the pictures.
When I looked at them later, I found the anomaly. You be the judge! It looks to me like a saucer at varying angles and location. I circled them on the pictures to show where it was and labeled the images for ease of reference. I also included the original pictures unedited for confirmation that the pictures are not edited.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Egypt Cylinder
Cairo — Back in July 1, 2009 or 2010, I went to Egypt for vacation and was watching the pyramid’s light and sound show from my room balcony. I shot several pictures of the show and later on when I was checking the photos; I noticed an anomaly in one of the photos. An object was present, which was not a reflection of the lights. I have other photos in the same light conditions. Another couple that we met stated they spotted the same object and saw it moving quite slow for an aircraft and it made no sound.
I have this photo for quite a time and did not show it to anybody besides my wife and the couple that confirmed that it was what he or she saw.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
India Octagon
Bharat Nagar –My name is Jaya Kumari and on March 8, 2016. while returning from my office I saw a flying object approach. It was 100 feet from ground moving at a slow speed. As I leaned out to see the object, I saw the bottom of an octagon shaped disk size of 250 square feet with four red lights around the disk. It seemed to be a heavy metal disk shaped object. It approached at a slower speed but zoomed at an immense speed suddenly right above my head with fast blinking red lights. The object then blasted off to the eat sky.
Bangalore – Two similar UFOs were reported over Bangalore on March 8, 2016. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Zealand Bright Light
Tauranga Bay of Plenty — I could not sleep and noticed a shimmering star changing colors in the distance so I got my binoculars to look at it more closely on March 5, 2016. It was just a star and I returned to my bed, when my whole room lit up. I looked out from my two-story window to see a huge glowing bright lime greenish yellow orb coming up from the southeast. It was growing larger as it approached very fast. Then it suddenly changed its direction and descended in a sloping trajectory creating a suburb was full of light. I lost sight of it as it dropped below the roof lines of neighboring houses and into a large lake’s a block away. I did not feel scared. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Romania Disc
Asi— I was with my friend taking night photos of Palas Mall using my Samsung S4 mobile phone on February 27, 2016.
I thought I saw a bright whitish shining object moving in a zig zag manner over my camera screen, so I decided to take a few more shots of the same spots.
I thought it could be an UFO as it moves over the camera screen in a zig zag manner at high speed and disappeared suddenly.
Of the few photos taken of the same direction of the sky, only one of the photos have a blue disc with white light above the building. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Switzerland Orb
Bern— My son went with his grandmother from Burgdorf to Bern on March 5, 2016.
He saw a floating object over the highway.
Because he always has his iPhone in his hands, he took the picture of the ufo. Can you see it? Left side up

South Africa Sphere
Manenberg Cape Town — It was 1982, or 83 when I was four years old when my brother and I were playing near Scheldt Walk. We noticed alot of grownups looking up in the sky, congregating on the corner of a nearby block of flats. This happened about hour before noon. When we looked up we saw a sphere like object flying up and down in the sky. It made a whooshing sound as it flew over our heads. It moved swiftly about and every now and again dipped behind nearby houses out of view for different intervals before coming up again. There was a strong police presence with various police vehicles on the ground and a police helicopter chasing the sphere.
We couldn’t see what the ground units were doing that were 300 meters from us. The air chase continued when I heard a dull bang and saw smoke coming from the one end of the sphere. This was during the apartheid years and everything was hush hush after the incident. I know what I saw. Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK/England Light
St Albans — Herts Advertiser news desk revealed last week that a man in London Colney had seen some peculiar lights in the sky above St Albans at 10.15 pm on August 29, 2010. He saw ten objects that were not Chinese lanterns traveling very fast and in a straight line. Rob Stichbury saw something similar at around the same time. He said, “The bright object was traveling extremely fast coming from the St Alban. It was following the path of Nicky Line and took 15 seconds to cover the horizon. It was too large to be a plane, and was moving quite low and much faster than any other traffic. Ken Collins also saw a strange object traveling faster than any aircraft. Thanks to Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ Website
London – I was at Borough Market, near Cathedral Street, taking photographs of the top of the nearby Shard building, On closer inspection of the photographs, I noticed that a progressive path of UFOs was recorded on the several images that were taken. They were clearly visible above the pinnacle of The Shard at 4.30 pm.
In extreme close-up, the object to the right has a clearer structure – perhaps metallic. I was using an iPhone 6, and I’m certain that these are not light reflections; I take lots of photographs and have never observed this phenomenon before or since.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Scotland Discs
Linlithgow – We were visiting Blackness Castle in Scotland on March 5, 2016, and took many photos with the sun setting behind me.
The shutter rate on my camera was very high at 2500th of a second on F9 stop.
On one of my photos, I noticed two glowing objects taken at 17:25 Greenwich Mean Time.
These objects only showed in one of my photos.
Blackness Castle is near Bonnybridge and the Falkirk Triangle a hot spot for UFO sightings.

LUCHTVAARTDe Canberra-bommenwerper werd ontworpen in de jaren 40, maar de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA gebruikt nog altijd drie exemplaren van het oude toestel.
'De Canberra was al van in het begin goed ontworpen'
David Keen, RAF Museum
Liefst 33 jaar nadat de Amerikaanse luchtmacht zijn Canberra's met pensioen stuurde, vliegen er nog altijd drie van de toestellen rond in dienst van NASA. De Canberra's maken deel uit van het Airborne Science Program (ASP), dat vliegtuigsystemen ontwikkelt voor wetenschapsdoeleinden en voor het verbeteren van satellietgegevens.
Omdat de Canberra's ontworpen zijn om erg hoog te kunnen vliegen, maakt hen dat geschikt voor verscheidene taken. Onder meer voor het ondersteunen van de satellieten van NASA. Dat legt Charles Mallini, programmamanager van de Canberra-vloot van NASA uit aan de BBC. Zo worden de Canberra's ingezet voor het uitvoeren van calibratietests om de metingen van satellieten op punt te zetten, testen ze nieuwe sensoren vooraleer die ingezet worden in de ruimte en voeren ze vanop grote hoogte metingen uit die vervolgens afgetoetst kunnen worden met de informatie die satellieten doorsturen. Ook worden de toestellen geregeld ingezet voor het uitvoeren van wetenschappelijke tests.
Dat de Canberra's nog altijd rondvliegen is te danken aan het ontwerp van de vliegtuigen. Nochtans is dat niet evident, aangezien de Canberra stamt uit de eerste generatie straaljagers. "De Canberra was al van in het begin goed ontworpen", legt David Keen van het RAF Museum in het Britse Hendon uit. "Het toestel kon behoorlijk snel vliegen voor een bommenwerper, en vloog ook hoger dan alle andere bommenwerpers. Net deze kenmerken zijn verantwoordelijk voor zijn lange staat van dienst."
NASA is bovendien niet van plan de Canberra's snel aan de kant te zetten. "We zijn altijd op zoek naar manieren om hun capaciteiten te verbeteren op vlak van uithouding, communicatie en dataverzameling. De drie toestellen hebben net een reeks upgrades gekregen, waaronder een nieuw autopilootsysteem", aldus Mallini. Meer nog, tot 2013 had de NASA zelfs maar twee Canberra's in dienst. De derde lag al sinds 1972 stof te vergaren op een vliegtuigkerkhof in Arizona, tot de NASA het vliegtuig oplapte en weer aan het werk zette.
Al zal het wel steeds moeilijker worden om de vliegtuigen in de lucht te houden, vreest Mallini. "Het vinden van onderdelen is een van onze grootste uitdagingen, aangezien veel onderdelen niet meer verkrijgbaar zijn en de fabrikant allang niet meer bestaat. We hebben al onderdelen gehaald uit museumvliegtuigen uit het hele land. Wanneer er geen onderdelen te vinden zijn, moeten onze ingenieurs ze zelf ontwerpen en ontwikkelen."

DE WANDELENDE ROTSEN IN DEATH VALLEY, USA ( VIDEO )
DE WANDELENDE ROTSEN IN DEATH VALLEY, USA ( VIDEO )
Grote rotsen die per stuk honderden kilo’s wegen worden verplaatst in het Amerikaanse Death Valley en niemand weet hoe.
Al heel lang wordt hier gezocht naar antwoorden en al vele jarenlang wordt er gespeculeerd over de elektromagnetische velden van UFO’s die dit veroorzaken.
Death Valley is het laagst gelegen deel van Amerika en tevens de plek waar de hoogste temperaturen optreden.
Death Valley is een dal in de Verenigde Staten dat samen met de omgeving deel uitmaakt van Death Valley National Park. Het is voor het overgrote deel gelegen in de staat Californië en voor een klein deel in de staat Nevada. Het dal is omringd door bergen en maakt deel uit van de Grote Bekken en de Mojavewoestijn. In Death Valley National Park is een woestijngebied met zoutvlakten, rotsformaties, canyons, zandduinen en bergen.
Het is er droog en dor, maar het is ook een gebied dat bekendstaat als een UFO hotspot. Een plaats waar meer dan gewoonlijke UFO-activiteit wordt waargenomen.
Op de droge bodem van Death Valley liggen rotsen die per stuk honderden kilo’s wegen, maar toch desondanks schijnen ze te kunnen wandelen.
Dit fenomeen is niet nieuw. Al sinds het midden van de negentiende eeuw wordt er melding gemaakt van rotsen die voortbewegen over het zand.
Aangezien er geen menselijke sporen worden gevonden zoals voetafdrukken lijkt het duidelijk dat de rotsen niet door mensen worden voortbewogen. Door wie of wat worden ze dan bewogen?
Iets waar ook al jarenlang over wordt gespeculeerd, is dat deze rotsen worden voortbewogen door elektromagnetische velden die door UFO's worden gecreëerd. Dit zou ook een aannemelijke verklaring kunnen zijn omdat dit gebied afgelegen is en daarom een perfecte locatie voor UFO-activiteit. Ook zijn dit de gebieden waar wordt gespeculeerd over buitenaardse bases.
Zoals in de onderstaande video te zien, is een fotograaf er onlangs in geslaagd om vreemde bewegingen in de lucht vast te leggen op beeld.
Dat alles neemt echter niet weg dat NASA zegt een antwoord te hebben gevonden voor de bewegende stenen. Dit zou worden veroorzaakt doordat in de winter het er ’s nachts zo koud wordt dat de bodem bevriest, waardoor er een laagje ijs zou ontstaan. Door dit laagje ijs zou er volgens hen maar heel weinig wind voor nodig zijn om de rotsen te doen voortbewegen.
Het is een theorie die niet is bewezen. Net zoals het voortbewegen door UFO’s een theorie is die niet is bewezen.
Vooralsnog blijft het dus een raadsel waardoor die rotsen zich kunnen verplaatsen.

ExoMars Spacecraft Roll Out to Launchpad for Monday's Liftoff (Photos)

The next robotic mission to Mars has rolled out to the launchpad ahead of its liftoff, which is planned for Monday (March 14).
A Russian-made Proton-M rocket carrying the Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) and Schiaparelli lander — which together constitute the first part of the two-phase, European-led ExoMars mission — rolled out to the pad at Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan today (March 11) and was hoisted into vertical position. Technicians had filled the Proton's Breeze upper stage with propellant and oxidizer yesterday (March 10), European Space Agency (ESA) officials said.
If all goes according to plan, the Proton will blast off at 5:31 a.m. EDT (0931 GMT; 3:31 p.m. local Kazakhstan time) on Monday. You can watch the ExoMars launch live here at Space.com, courtesy of ESA.
After liftoff, TGO and Schiaparelli will cruise through deep space for seven months, arriving at the Red Planet in October.
The pair will separate on Oct. 16. A few days later, TGO will set up shop in Mars orbit, beginning a five-year study of the planet's atmosphere that focuses on a hunt for methane — a gas that could be produced by living organisms, if any exist on the Red Planet.

Schiaparelli, meanwhile, will aim to pull off Europe's first-ever successful landing on Mars, with touchdown scheduled for Oct. 19. (ESA's Beagle 2 lander apparently settled softly on the planet in December 2003, but it never contacted its controllers after that.)
ESA wants Schiaparelli to gather environmental data on the surface for as long as its batteries last (likely two to eight days, ESA officials have said). But the lander's main purpose is to prove out entry, descent and landing technologies that will help get the second main component of the ExoMars program — a deep-drilling, life-hunting rover due to launch in 2018 — onto the red dirt safely.
TGO's observations will help mission planners select a landing site for this rover, and the orbiter will help relay data from the wheeled robot to Earth after it touches down.
NASA was ESA's main partner on ExoMars until early 2012, when the American space agency dropped out, citing budget issues. Russia then came onboard as partner. The Russian federal space agency, known as Roscosmos, is providing Proton rockets for both ExoMars missions, a landing platform for the ExoMars rover and some science instruments.

Stanton Friedman "To reach a scientific conclusion about the reality of flying saucers requires the collection, review, and evaluation of an enormous amount of evidence. I have done so and concluded that some flying saucers are alien spacecraft, that the subject represents a Cosmic Watergate, that there are no good scientific arguments against these conclusions. The UFO debunkers ignore the large scale scientific studies, the numerous relevant highly redacted highly classified UFO documents, the numerous studies showing trips to nearby stars are feasible. Instead we are treated to proclamations of impossibility unsupported by evidence. It is well worth looking at the mountains of data. Science tells the story. We are being visited and are being lied to. Reality triumphs over fiction when science is properly employed."
For almost 60 years the public has been hearing about flying saucers and then UFOs. Press coverage has ebbed and flowed, but polls have always shown a very high awareness score. Motion pictures, tabloids, and TV programs have picked up the slack with a mélange of fiction and some truth. Unfortunately, much of what has been told by the “powers that be” has been false. Many different government agencies have shared in the misrepresentation and have provided outright LIES as well. The press and other academic and scientific groups have often blindly accepted and promulgated nonsense without any effort to get at truth. Webster's Dictionary defines LIE as an untrue statement made with the intent to deceive. Hopefully, the LIES presented in this paper will help cause these protectors of the public to do their job: seek and present truth.
Project SERPO and the Alien Human Exchange Program
Project SERPO and the Alien Human Exchange Program
Published on Mar 11, 2016
The origins of the program supposedly started after two UFOs crashed in Roswell and Corona, NM in 1947. The one surviving extraterrestrial recovered from the Corona crash supposedly assisted the U.S. military in establishing contact with the Ebens, his fellow beings on Serpo. This communication eventually led to a 1965 exchange program, where 12 specially trained U.S. military personnel went to Serpo aboard one of the Eben’s spacecraft as part of a 12-year mission to learn more about Serpo’s geology and biology, as well as learning more about the Ebens.
During the mission, it was learned that Serpo is approximately 37 light years away from Earth, has two suns, is slightly smaller than Earth, and has a similar atmosphere. However, the radiation levels on Serpo were higher than on Earth, so the team had to keep their bodies covered at all times. The Ebens had leaders but no real form of government and they lived in small communities with one large city which acted as the central point of the civilization. The total population on the planet was around 650,000.

Space Race Losers? US Leadership in Danger, Report Warns
Space Race Losers? US Leadership in Danger, Report Warns

The United States could lose its long-held leadership position in space science, technology and exploration if the country doesn't renew its commitment to those fields soon, a coalition of space-industry organizations has warned.
Such a commitment should include the completion of a crewed launch system, stable NASA budgets and continued partnerships with other nations on projects such as the International Space Station, said the 12-group coalition, which jointly presented a white paper at the National Press Club on Friday (March 4).
"What we have is a rather unprecedented consensus of the space community in the United States," said Elliot Pulham, CEO of the nonprofit Space Foundation and one of three experts who shared their thoughts with reporters at the document's unveiling. [Giant Leaps: Top Milestones in Human Spaceflight]
Pulham added that one of the board members of the Space Foundation, journalist and writer P.J. O'Rourke, would have kept the message quite short if he had attended the event: "He would have said it should be one sentence: 'Space is good — keep investing.'"
The group plans to send the white paper, which is called "Ensuring U.S. Leadership in Space," to candidates for office, from the presidential race on down to local congressional campaigns.
The main problem, the report said, is that NASA's funding is decided at the whim of politics. And at the moment, NASA's budget is at a historic low as a share of the overall federal budget. Meanwhile, other countries, such as China, are ramping up their investments in space.
The Orion Spacecraft is the Future of Deep Space Travel
Eric Stallmer, president of the nonprofit Commercial Spaceflight Federation, said that politicians often regard space as a regional issue, one that affects jobs in Florida, Texas and other states. But that's a very limited, and limiting, view, he added.
"Space affects all 50 states," Stallmer said. "It's a national space program."
Another big threat to U.S. leadership in space is malaise, brought on partially by past successes, several experts said.
"We landed on the moon, and that cemented in our heads that we were leaders," said Sandra Magnus, executive director of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Doing a great thing once, she added, doesn't guarantee leadership forever. [NASA's 17 Apollo Moon Missions in Pictures]
"Conquering malaise means allowing ourselves to be led by optimists and visionaries," Pulham said. Making this happen could boost the nation's "soft power," creating an environment in which other countries want to work with the United States, he added.
One of NASA's purposes is to "expand the bubble" of knowledge, Magnus said. Since the agency's establishment in 1958, NASA has built a base of expertise that has led to increased accessibility to space, Magnus said, citing the recent phenomenon of student groups launching cubesats as an example.
"For 50 years, we were kind of caught in low-Earth orbit, but now the edge of the bubble is expanding," she said. "Now people are engaged behind that in ways that aren't necessarily tied to government funding."
Investing in space allows new industries to develop, and that requires a commitment that is often lacking these days, Stallmer said. The coalition said it hopes Congress and the next president — whomever that might be — will commit to a plan of action, and fund the agency accordingly.
An important investment, the panel said, is a launch system able to get American astronauts into space, a capability the nation lost when the space shuttle program was grounded in 2011. (Right now, Russia and China are the only countries that can launch astronauts to space.)
NASA is currently developing the Space Launch System (SLS) megarocket and Orion capsule toward this end, and the coalition urged continued support of these efforts. SLS and Orion are designed to help get astronauts to deep-space destinations such as Mars. Meanwhile, SpaceX and Boeing have signed NASA deals to develop "astronaut taxis" that will get spaceflyers to Earth orbit and back, beginning in 2017.
During Friday's event, panelists were asked whether fully funding SLS — which is scheduled to fly for the first time in 2018 — might actually hamper American leadership in space, since the program might not even survive into the next administration. And private companies — notably SpaceX, which is building a rocket called the Falcon Heavy — might soon be able to lift hefty payloads into space for less money.
But Magnus said developing SLS technology is still important. "That system [SLS] is the expansion of the bubble," she said. "You need to continue to push the boundaries of what you're doing. You need to bring the technologies to bear that can push us out further."
And SLS and other NASA technology will still transfer to industry at some point, she added.
The panel also stressed that the U.S. should continue to partner with other nations in ways that benefit the America's space industry and security.
Lowering trade barriers in some areas could help make this happen, Pulham said, noting that restricting sales of certain equipment overseas simply encouraged other countries to develop their own capability to launch rockets.
"Our allies could not buy from us, so instead [they] developed their own indigenous industries," he said. "There was a time when 75 percent of launch capability was built in Colorado. Now it's zero percent."
Pulham also noted that some advanced spacecraft parts are now being built by other nations. "Other people have technology that we should want to get our hands on as well," he said.
Some barriers need to be in place to address real security concerns, Pulham said. "But they should not be so high that we can't do common-sense work together."
How Often Do Big Fireballs Blaze Up in Earth's Sky?
How Often Do Big Fireballs Blaze Up in Earth's Sky?

A fireball exploded over the south Atlantic Ocean on Feb. 6 in the most powerful such event since February 2013, when a similar "airburst" injured more than 1,200 people in the Russian city of Chelyabinsk.
Last month's fireball packed the energy equivalent of 13,000 tons (13 kilotons) of TNT, but it exploded in a remote location, so no eyewitness reports are known. (The event was recorded on NASA's Fireball and Bolide Reports page.)
Meteors burn up in Earth's atmosphere every day, but most are small and therefore fly completely under the radar. Fireballs as dramatic as the Feb. 6 event — which was caused by an object estimated to be 16 to 23 feet (5 to 7 meters) wide — occur about once every two to three years, according to Peter Brown, a professor at the University of Western Ontario in Canada and a member of the Western Meteor Physics Group. [Photos: Russian Meteor Explosion of Feb. 15, 2013]
The Feb. 6 fireball, while powerful, would probably not have caused damage even if it had hit Earth over a populated area, Brown added.
"The only way you might get damaged is if rocks hit the ground and you are unlucky enough to be hit by some debris," he told Space.com.
Brownincoming ly.
The object that exploded above Chelyabinsk three years ago was about 65 feet (20 m) wide, experts say, and had an estimated explosive energy of 500 kilotons. The blast shattered hundreds of windows; the reported injuries were almost all caused by shards of flying glass.
Meteor terminology can get confusing, so here's a quick primer: An asteroid is a space rock. A meteoroid is a space rock about to hit Earth, a meteor is a space rock burning in Earth's atmosphere, and a meteorite is a space rock that made it all the way to the ground. (And, technically speaking, a fireball is a meteor that shines at least as brightly as the planet Venus in the sky.)

Meteoroids can come in several different forms. A small percentage of them (perhaps 5 percent) are made of solid iron. Others are more like comets — collections of ice and dust — and still others are rubble piles composed of bits of rock, dust and ice.
If the meteoroid is solid iron and large enough, a fraction of it can survive its trip through Earth's atmosphere and make it all the way to the ground, Brown said. A more loosely-held-together meteoroid, however, will break up in the air.
Both the Chelyabinsk rock and the Feb. 6 object likely came into the atmosphere at a shallow angle of about 20 degrees, subjecting each to relatively little heating and allowing each to penetrate deep into the atmosphere. Both rocks also each exploded at about 19 miles (30 kilometers) above the ground.
A much more powerful airburst took place over the Tunguska region of Siberia on June 30, 1908, flattening about 770 square miles (2,000 square km) of forest.
The best current estimates, Brown said, have the Tunguska object exploding with a force of between 5 and 15 megatons, or about 10 to 30 times the total energy of Chelyabinsk. Experts think the Tunguska meteor was at least 100 feet (30 m) wide, and they believe it detonated about three times closer to the ground than the Chelyabinsk object did — between 4.3 to 6.2 miles (7 to 10 km) above the Siberian treetops. [What If Tunguska Event Happened Over New York City? (Video)]
Tough to track
NASA and other agencies have a robust asteroid-tracking program that can detect objects about 16 to 32 feet (5 to 10 m) wide depending on their proximity to Earth, lighting conditions and other factors.
So far, surveys have found two asteroids of this size shortly before they impacted Earth: 2008 TC3, which came in over Sudan in 2008, and 2014 AA, which impacted over the middle of the Atlantic Ocean on Jan. 2, 2014.
The main observatories for this work, Brown said, are the University of Arizona's Catalina Sky Survey and the University of Hawaii's Pan-STARRS (Panoramic Survey Telescope & Rapid Response System). Catalina found both 2008 TC3 and 2014 AA. Both Catalina and Pan-STARRS are continually improving their capabilities and will likely be able to detect more objects of this type in the coming years, he said.
Also coming online in the next few months the University of Hawaii's Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS). This asteroid-detection system is optimized to pick up meteoroids impacting Earth, and will scan the sky a couple of times a night in search of them. The aim is to give a few days' or weeks' notice ahead of an impact.
But such tracking efforts are concerned primarily with big, potentially dangerous objects, not small fry like the one that caused the Feb. 6 airburst.
"They are too hard to detect ahead of impacting Earth’s atmosphere, and almost never do any damage — Chelyabinsk being a notable exception," Lindley Johnson, lead program executive at NASA's newly created Planetary Defense Coordination Office (PDCO), told Space.com via email.
"This size object hit and no one noticed," Johnson added, referring to the Feb. 6 rock. "Except we in the NASA PDCO did and put it on our fireball reports page, and that’s why everyone now knows about it."

Editor's Note: NASA's Curiosity Rover successfully touched down on the Martian surface on Aug. 5, 2014, and has been exploring the Red Planet ever since. The following timeline was updated on March 8, 2016.
NASA's newest Mars rover — a car-size robot that will scour the Martian surface for signs that the planet could have supported life — will make a thrilling and unprecedented landing on the Red Planet next month.
The $2.5 billion Mars Science Laboratory, or Curiosity rover, is scheduled to touch down on Mars on the night of Aug. 5. The rover's entry, descent and landing from the top of the Martian atmosphere have been nicknamed the "seven minutes of terror."
Since the 1-ton rover is too big for airbags to cushion its landing, Curiosity is equipped with a rocket-powered sky crane to lower it to the surface. Once Curiosity touches down, cables will release the sky crane, which will fly off and crash-land a safe distance away from the rover.
Here's a look at all the previous missions that have attempted to land on Mars (mission failures marked in bold, successes are underlined):
Mars 2: (FAILED) USSR, launched May 19, 1971. The Mars orbiter and lander arrived on Nov. 2, 1971, but returned no useful data, and the lander burned up due to steep entry.
Mars 3:(FAILED) USSR, launched May 28, 1971. The Mars orbiter and lander arrived on Dec. 3, 1971. The lander operated on the surface of Mars for 20 seconds before failing.
Mars 6: (FAILED) USSR, launched Aug. 5, 1973. The Mars flyby module and lander arrived on March 3, 1974 but the lander failed due to a fast impact.
Mars 7: (FAILED) USSR, launched Aug. 9, 1973. The Mars flyby module and lander arrived on March 3, 1974 but the lander missed the planet.
Viking 1: U.S., launched Aug. 20, 1975. The Mars orbiter operated from June 1976 to 1980 and the lander operated from July 1976 to 1982.
Viking 2: U.S., launched Sept. 9, 1975. The Mars orbiter operated from Aug. 1976 to 1987, and the lander operated from Sept. 3, 1976 to 1980. Combined, the Viking orbiters and landers returned more than 50,000 photos.

Phobos 2: (FAILED) USSR, launched July 12, 1988. The Mars orbiter and Phobos lander were lost in March 1989 near Phobos.
Mars 96: (FAILED) Russia, launched Nov. 16, 1996. The orbiter, two landers and two penetrators were lost after the rocket failed.
Mars Pathfinder: U.S., launched Dec. 4, 1996. The Mars lander and rover landed on July 4, 1997 and communicated with ground teams last on Sept. 27, 1997.
Mars Polar Lander/Deep Space 2: (FAILED) U.S., launched Jan. 3, 1999. The lander and two penetrators were lost on arrival in December 1999.
Beagle 2: (FAILED) European Space Agency, launched June 2, 2003. Beagle 2 launched on ESA's Mars Express orbiter, which completed its prime mission in November 2005 and is currently on an extended mission. The Beagle 2 lander. however, was lost on arrival on Dec. 25, 2003.
Mars Exploration Rover Spirit: U.S., launched June 10, 2003. The Mars rover landed on the Red Planet on Jan. 4, 2004 for three-month mission to look for signs of past water activity on Mars. Ground controllers lost communication with Spirit in March 2010, and repeated attempts to awaken the rover failed. The rover far outlived its intended warranty, and is considered a success. NASA declared Spirit dead in May 2011.
Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity: U.S., launched July 7, 2003. The Mars rover landed on Jan. 25, 2004 for a three-month prime mission in the Meridiani Planum region. The rover has currently logged more than 20 miles on the Red Planet and is now investigating the huge Endeavour crater.
No planet is more steeped in myth and misconception than Mars. This quiz will reveal how much you really know about some of the goofiest claims about the red planet.
Phoenix Mars Lander: U.S., launched Aug. 4, 2007. The Mars lander touched down on May 25, 2008 and dug through Martian soil to confirm the presence of water ice beneath the surface. Phoenix's solar panels suffered severe damage from the harsh Martian winter, and communication with the $475 million lander was lost in November 2008. After repeated attempts to reestablish contact, NASA declared Phoenix broken and dead in May 2010.
Phobos-Grunt: (FAILED) Russia, launched Nov. 8, 2011 on a mission to return samples from the Mars moon Phobos. The $163 million robotic probe suffered a crippling malfunction shortly after launch, stranding it in Earth orbit. Mission managers said Phobos-Grunt spacecraft's thrusters failed to fire in a maneuver that would have sent the spacecraft on to Mars. The spacecraft plummeted back to Earth and was destroyed on Jan. 15, 2012.
Mars Science Laboratory: U.S., launched Nov. 26, 2011. The $2.5 billion Curiosity rover landed at Gale crater on the night of Aug. 5, 2012, and will investigate the mountain at its center with exposed rock faces that represent various periods in Mars' geologic history.The Mars rover will also investigate whether the planet was ever hospitable to life.
