22 Ridiculously Cool Rare Natural Phenomena That Happen on Earth

Events that are so rare and beautiful that they may seem unbelievable at first but they do happen..for real. 

1. Bioluminescence

www.philhart.com

The spooky light is created by a chemical reaction called “bioluminescence”, which happens when tiny organisms in the water are disturbed. The photographer put his camera on a very slow shutter speed and threw sand and stones into the water to cause the reaction and capture as much of the blue haze as possible.

2. Supercells

www.someinterestingfacts.net

A supercell is basically a stronger, more tornado-enabled version of a regular storm cell. This is because—much like tornadoes—supercells have the tendency to spin around a lot, but also—and more importantly—because supercells can actually create tornadoes.

3. Volcanic Lightning

www.listverse.com

This cool picture depicts a lightning storm that takes place in the middle of a volcanic eruption. Scientists aren’t 100% sure why this happens, but the primary theory goes that when a volcano erupts, it projects positively-charged debris into the atmosphere. These charges then react with negative charges already present, which results in 1) a bolt of lightning, and 2) a really cool picture.

4. Snow Donuts

www.npr.org

These rare shapes are formed—under perfect temperature conditions only—when a mass of snow either falls or is blown by the wind. If it manages to catch on to some other snow, and gravity or the wind is in its favor, then the new snowball will roll itself in the exact same way we all used to. In this case, though, the middles tend to collapse to create a donut shape, which can end up as tall as 26 inches (66 cm).

5. Fire Rainbows

www.listverse.com

These colorful offshoots are a large halo of refracted light, and despite their nickname, they have nothing to do with either fire or rainbows. They only occur when the sun is at least 58 degrees above the horizon, when there are cirrus clouds in the sky that are filled with plate-shaped ice crystals. The refraction of light is always parallel to the horizon, and because the arcs are so big, only sections of them are ever commonly seen—which is why it can look like certain patches of cloud are on fire

6. Lenticular Clouds

www.en.wikipedia.org

www.bbc.co.uk

www.crystalinks.com

They are stationary lens-shaped and sometimes multi-layered clouds that form at high altitudes. They are formed when moist air is forced to flow upward around mountain tops. Due to their shape, they have been offered as an explanation for some UFO sightings.

7. Auroras

www.travelization.net

Auroras or polar lights are mesmerizing natural light display in the skies of high latitude regions. They are caused when energetic electrically charged particles from solar wind accelerate along the magnetic field lines into the upper atmosphere, where they collide with gas atoms, causing the atoms to give off light. The auroral zone is typically 10° to 20° from the magnetic poles.

8. Fire Whirls

www.quora.com

The fire whirls, fire devil or fire tornado, is a rare natural phenomenon that occurs when a fire, combined by certain air temperature and currents, forms a whirl that rises into the air like a tornado. They can be actual whirlwinds that disengage from the flames, or else can become a vortex of flame. The fire whirl usually occurs during bush fires.

9. Finnish Lapland

www.nownews.com

The picture was taken last winter in Finnish Lapland where weather can include sub-freezing temperatures and driving snow. Surreal landscapes sometimes result, where common trees become cloaked in white and so appear, to some, as watchful aliens or bizarre statues.

10. Sun Dogs

www.en.wikipedia.org

They are massive halos in the sky as a result of light refraction—though in this case, they appear to actually encircle the sun. Sun dogs can be recognized by the two distinctive bright spots on either side of the halo—if these blips are bright enough, it can even look like there are three suns in the sky, all side by side. And the good news is that this happens all the time, all over the world, so you’ll be able to start seeing them if you look closely enough (especially when the sun is low in the sky).

11. Skypunch

www.pinterest.com

A fallstreak hole, also known as a punch hole cloud, is a large circular or elliptical gap, that can appear in cirrocumulous or altocumulous clouds. Such holes are formed when the water temperature in the clouds is below freezing but the water has not frozen yet due to the lack of icenucleation particles. When ice crystals do form it will set off a domino effect, due to the Bergeon process, causing the water droplets around the crystals to evaporate: this leaves a large, often circular, hole in the cloud

12. Frost Flowers

www.en.wikipedia.org

They’re buildups of ice particles around the base of certain plants and types of wood. When the temperature outside the plant is below freezing and the temperature within them is not, then water is pulled to the surface in a process similar to transpiration. This leads to a fragile chain of ice being pushed outward, which ends up forming sprawling, delicate formations.

13. Columnar Basalt

www.listverse.com

The unique formations are a result of lava flows cracking as they cool, in a perpendicular direction to the original flow. Columnar basalt clusters can be found all over the world—and then, naturally, climbed.

14. Penitentes

www.humanunderconstruction.blogspot.com

www.en.wikipedia.org

These spiky fields of ice are called penitentes, and each individual shard can be up to a whopping 4 m high. These intimidating snow structures are formed in high-altitude areas with low humidity, such as the glaciers of the Andes mountains. If the conditions are right, the sun’s rays are so hot that they can actually sublimate fields of snow—meaning that the frozen water vaporizes without ever becoming a liquid. This leads to slight pockets in the ice, which—thanks to their shape—actually end up attracting even more heat.

15. Light Poles

www.hybridtechcar.com

www.planete-revelations.com

This phenomenon is known as ‘light poles’ and it can be seen at nights over the large cities with different colored lights. They can only be seen during very cold weather (the temperature of -20 Celsius degrees or lower is required). Also the wind must not blow fast and there has to be a plenty of tiny ice crystals in the atmosphere.

16. Morning Glory Clouds

www.quora.com

Morning Glory clouds are very rare types of clouds. They can stretch 1,000 kilometers long and occur at altitudes of up to 2 km. Although similar clouds are seen in many places worldwide, the ones over Burketown, Queensland in Australia occur predictably every spring. These tubes and the surrounding air can cause dangerous turbulence for airplanes when clear.

17. Waterspouts

www.apod.nasa.gov

www.letsbewild.com

They’re tornadoes that form over water. Because of this, they don’t pose a major threat unless you happen to be in a boat—but if you are, then watch out, because these things can achieve speeds of up to 305 km per hour. In fact, it’s been speculated that many mysterious shipwrecks—such as those within the Bermuda Triangle—are simply a result of bad luck with waterspouts.

18. Mammatus Clouds

www.indiaonrent.com

Mammatus clouds are cellular pattern of pouches hanging underneath the base of a cloud. They are formed in sinking air contrary to any other form of clouds that are formed in rising air. There are various hypotheses offered behind the mechanism of its formation.

19. The Hessdalen Light

www.quora.com

Hessdalen Light is an unexplained light phenomenon that occurs in Hessdalen valley of Norway. They were observed over 15 to 20 times per week from 1982 until 1984. Since then, the activity has decreased and now the lights are observed about 10 to 20 times per year.

20. Brinicles

www.listverse.com

When the surface of the sea freezes—such as around the north and south poles—it does so in a way that forces pockets of especially cold and salty seawater to gather on the underside of the ice. This mixture of brine is denser than the seawater below it, and as a result it tends to slowly sink to the bottom. Now, because it’s so cold, the fresher water below the brine actually freezes around it as it falls, which results in a giant icicle under the surface.

21. Earthquake Lights

www.youtube.com

Earthquake lights are unusual luminous atmospheric phenomenon. They are usually reportedly in areas of high seismic activity or volcanic eruptions. They were believed to be myths until they were photographed in 1965 during the Matsushiro earthquake of Japan. It was then that seismologists worldwide accepted of their existence. Earthquake lights are caused by an unknown mechanism. They are either white, blue or multi-spectrum.

22. Ball Lightning

www.library.thinkquest.org

www.csironewsblog.com

Ball lightning is an unexplained atmospheric electrical phenomenon. The term refers to reports of luminous, usually spherical objects which vary from pea-sized to several meters in diameter. It is usually associated with thunderstorms, but lasts considerably longer than the split-second flash of a lightning bolt. Many of the early reports say that the ball eventually explodes, sometimes with fatal consequences, leaving behind the odor of sulfur.

-SOMETHING JUST CRASHED INTO JUPITER: IT’S AN ALIEN UFO MOTHERSHIP, UFO HUNTERS SAY — NO, IT’S LIKELY AN ASTEROID, SAYS NASA [VIDEO]

JOHNTHOMAS DIDYMUS

Amateur astronomers have captured on camera the moment that an object crashed into Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system. Judging from the flash of light recorded by amateur astronomers on March 17, 2016, from a distance of more than 600 million kilometers, astronomers say the object caused a powerful explosion. But while astronomers believe the flash of light was caused by an asteroid or a comet impact, some UFO enthusiasts have declared it was caused by an alien UFO mothership that crashed into the Jovian atmosphere.

The impact event on March 17, 2016, was spotted by amateur astronomer John McKeon of Swords, Ireland, who was able to capture an impressive time-lapse of the impact flash through a telescope.

https://youtu.be/HakDInn_pHE

According to Space.com, McKeon was observing Jupiter through a telescope from Swords in Ireland, and as he filmed the transit of Jupiter’s moons, Io and Ganymede, with an 11-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and an ASI120mm camera, he noticed a momentary flash of light that suggested something had crashed into the Jovian atmosphere.

According to the amateur astronomer in the description of the time-lapse he captured and uploaded to YouTube on March 29, 2016, “The original purpose of the imaging session was to get this time-lapse, with a happy coincidence of the impact in the second last capture of the night.”

Although astronomers have not confirmed what hit Jupiter, they are certain it is not an “alien UFO mothership,” as some conspiracy theorists have suggested, but possibly a comet or an asteroid that got too close to the planet and got pulled in by the planet’s powerful gravitational field.

Astronomer Phil Plait commented on Slate’s Bad Astronomy blog that the object couldn’t have been very large. He estimated its size at about a few hundred feet and explained that it generated a massive explosion seen on a telescope more than 600 million kilometers away only because Jupiter has a “ferocious” gravitational pull that accelerates incoming objects tremendously and causes incoming objects to release a huge amount of kinetic energy on impact with the planet’s atmosphere.

The tremendous acceleration due to gravity means that an object hits the Jovian atmosphere like a rock slamming into a brick wall at great speed. The friction generates heat that triggers a massive explosion observed as a mere flash of light through telescopes on Earth.

• “[An incoming object hits] Jupiter with roughly five times the velocity it hits Earth, so its impact energy is 25 times as high.”

Paul Chodas, who manages NASA’s Near-Earth Object (NEO) Program Office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, told Space.com that it was likely an asteroid that crashed into Jupiter because as far as NASA astronomers have been able to confirm, there are far more asteroids in our solar system than comets and alien UFO motherships.

• “It’s more likely to be an asteroid simply because there are more of them.”

The impact event was captured independently on camera (see YouTube below) by another amateur astronomer from Mödling in Austria.

According to Bad Astronomy’s Phil Plait, Gerrit Kernbauer captured a video of the impact event at 00:18:33 UTC on March 17 using a 20-cm telescope. The Austrian’s recording of the brief flash of light ruled out the possibility that Mckeon’s flash of light was an artifact of instrumentation, such as a reflection inside the telescope.

Phil Plait posted Kernbauer’s video of the event to YouTube (see below). The video shows three moons of Jupiter, Europa, Ganymede, and Io. The impact flash appears briefly on the upper right edge of Jupiter’s disc.

Kernbauer explained that he filmed the event using a Skywatcher Newton 200/1000 Telescope. He had apparently also been observing the transit of Jupiter’s moons but was not satisfied with the quality of the images he obtained and thus had not planned to process them until he noticed the flash of light while reviewing the images several days later.

Recalling the famous 1994 Shoemaker-Levy 9 impact events, it occurred to him that he may have capture an asteroid or comet impact event.

The Shoemaker-Levy 9 impact events, which occurred between July 16-22 in 1994, were observed through telescopes by astronomers on Earth as a series of light flashes caused by fragments of the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 slamming into Jupiter. NASA’s Galileo spacecraft approaching Jupiter at the time and the Hubble Space Telescope in low Earth orbit also captured images of the collision.

According to Space.com, dark spots on Jupiter caused by the impacts were visible even through small telescopes.

An Australian amateur astronomer, Anthony Wesley, noticed similar dark spots near Jupiter’s south pole on July 19, 2009, indicating a new impact from an object estimated at about 1,600 feet (500 meters). He noticed another dark spot on June 3, 2010.

On August 20, Masayuki Tachikawa, a Japanese sky watcher, noticed a flash from an impact. On September 12, 2012, Dan Peterson in Racine, Wisconsin, spotted yet another.

According to Chodas, frequent observations of impact flashes on Jupiter alert us to the fact that although the Earth has been spared major impact events in recent years, they are happening regularly in our solar system.

Impact events occur with greater regularity on Jupiter because the planet’s size and massiveness make it a bigger target, and its gravitational pull draws more space objects. We are also witnessing more impact events on Jupiter from Earth due to improved instrumentation.

Jupiter-bound Juno spacecraft breaks solar power distance record

NASA’s Juno spacecraft bound for a rendezvous with Jupiter in July has set a record as the most distant solar-powered space probe ever flown.

Juno broke the record previously held by the European Space Agency’s Rosetta spacecraft Jan. 13 as it flew about 493 million miles (793 million kilometers) from the sun, NASA said in a press release announcing the milestone.

When it enters orbit around Jupiter on July 4, the Juno spacecraft will become the first solar-powered mission to reach the gas giant, beginning 20 months of commissioning and science observations aimed at studying the structure of the planet’s interior and atmosphere.

Juno carries three large solar panels, each one 9 feet wide and 29 feet long, to generate electricity.

Shortly after the mission’s launch in 2011, the solar power system could convert sunlight into 14 kilowatts of energy. When Juno reaches Jupiter, which orbits five times farther from the sun than Earth, the spacecraft must operate on 500 watts.

Half of Juno’s electricity budget goes to its thermal system to keep the spacecraft at a comfortable temperature. The balance goes toward communications, computers, propulsion and operating the probe’s seven scientific instruments and color camera.

All eight probes that previously explored the realm of the solar system now occupied by Juno relied on nuclear power sources, but the U.S. government’s stockpile of space-grade plutonium was diminishing when engineers designed Juno, prompting a decision to build three huge solar panels for the spacecraft.

Juno’s solar panels are arranged in a triangular shape in space. All together, the panels have an area of about 635 square feet, larger than most studio apartments.

Juno’s solar panels consist of 18,698 individual cells, each measuring approximately 3.7 inches by 2.25 inches. The rectangular cells are made of silicon and gallium arsenide.

A rocket firing will steer the Juno spacecraft into a polar orbit around Jupiter, kicking off about 20 months of science observations comprising more than 30 laps around the huge gas giant.

Juno will initially be captured in a long, egg-shaped orbit that takes 53.5 days to complete one trip around Jupiter. A follow-up maneuver in October will reduce the high point of Juno’s orbit, moving it closer to the planet to allow the craft to complete one lap every 14 days.

That is a change from Juno’s original flight plan, which called for the probe to first go into a 107-day orbit, then switch to an 11-day orbit.

Scientists say the new plan allows Juno to complete a first look at meeting the mission’s science goals, which are centered on Jupiter’s interior, atmosphere and magnetic field, in shorter time than previously anticipated. But it means Juno will need 20 months, five months longer than originally planned, to collect the mission’s full data set.

Besides the challenges imposed by the distance from the sun to Jupiter, engineers had to account for the harsh radiation environment around the giant planet.

Engineers conducted extra testing before Juno’s launch to ensure the solar cells, computers and wiring in the spacecraft’s power and control system can endure Jupiter’s doughnut-shaped radiation belts as it passes as close as 3,100 miles over the planet’s cloud tops, closer than any mission before.

Juno will encounter radiation equivalent to receiving 100 million dental X-rays during its mission at Jupiter.

Juno’s flight computers, avionics and commanding system are wrapped inside a solid titanium box on top of the spacecraft. Known as the vault, the radiation-shielding container is about the size of a microwave oven and weighs nearly 500 pounds fully loaded.

But the solar panels could not be put in the vault, so engineers doubled the thickness of the cover glass over each cell to protect them from radiation. Otherwise, Juno’s solar cells are off the shelf, meeting the same qualification levels required for other space missions.

Engineers expect the solar cells to degrade over time as they are zapped by radiation, but not within Juno’s 20-month primary mission.

Future robotic missions to Jupiter will also employ solar panels, building on technologies demonstrated by Juno.

ESA’s first spacecraft to visit the outer solar system, the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer, set for launch in 2022 will rely on solar power for its mission to study three of the planet’s largest moons. JUICE will eventually swing into orbit around Ganymede, becoming the first mission to enter orbit around one of Jupiter’s moons.

NASA’s Europa mission, an uncrewed probe in development to repeatedly fly past Jupiter’s most famous moon, will also use solar power generators. Managers chose solar power over nuclear power for the mission in 2014.

SETI Institute launches radio search for alien life amid 20,000 red dwarf stars

BY ALAN BOYLE

The SETI Institute is shifting the focus of its search for extraterrestrial intelligence to places that could harbor life that’s not as we know it: 20,000 red-dwarf star systems.

“Red dwarfs – the dim bulbs of the cosmos – have received scant attention by SETI scientists in the past,” SETI Institute engineer Jon Richard said today in a news release announcing the initiative. “That’s because researchers made the seemingly reasonable assumption that other intelligent species would be on planets orbiting stars similar to the sun.”

Red dwarfs are nothing like the sun: The brightest of the breed are a tenth as luminous as the sun, and some are just 0.01 percent as bright. But astronomers say they account for three-quarters of all stars.

The star that’s closest to our sun, Proxima Centauri, is a red dwarf. A variety of observing efforts, including the Pale Red Dot initiative, are looking for planets around Proxima Centauri.

Astrobiologists had assumed that red dwarfs put out too little light to support life on alien planets, but that was before astronomers started finding Earth-sized worlds in close orbits around distant stars. Now it’s thought that 6 percent or more of all red dwarfs have potentially habitable, Earth-sized planets.

Another plus for the prospects of red-dwarf life is that such stars are amazingly long-lived: Astronomers have already detected a super-Earth known as Kapteyn bthat orbits an 11.5 billion-year-old red dwarf. That makes the star and the planet 2.5 times older than Earth.]

“This may be one instance in which older is better,” SETI Institute astronomer Seth Shostak said. “Older solar systems have had more time to produce intelligent species.”

The red-dwarf search is being conducted using the institute’s Allen Telescope Array, a network of linked radio telescopes that was built amid the Cascade Mountains of Northern California using seed money from Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen.

The targets are being chosen from a list of about 70,000 red dwarfs compiled byBoston University’s Andrew West. SETI astronomers will check targeted systems over several frequency bands between 1 and 10 GHz.

“Roughly half of those bands will be at so-called ‘magic frequencies’ – places on the radio dial that are directly related to basic mathematical constants,” SETI Institute scientist Gerry Harp said. “It’s reasonable to speculate that extraterrestrials trying to attract attention might generate signals at such special frequencies.”

Past searches by the SETI Institute have targeted about 1,000 nearby sunlike stars – as well as stars where NASA’s Kepler telescope detected planets, and even theoddball “alien megastructure” star known as KIC 8462852.

Although there have been some intriguing false alarms, no signals from extraterrestrial civilizations have yet been detected.

Cameron Lucadou-Wells taking Channel Ten's The Project back 50 years. 152313

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH

STAR News Group was graced by an old friend on Thursday when Channel Ten’s The Project dropped in for a chat with resident Westall UFO expert and journalist Cameron Lucadou-Wells.
Project producer Tania Palich took the long journey out to Pakenham to chat with Dandenong Journal reporter Cameron Lucadou-Wells who has been covering the developing Westall flying saucer incident for the past 10 years.
“I couldn’t believe it,” Tania said when she found out where she was going.
“It was like going back in time when I drove in,” she said because it was Star News Group that handed Tania her first electrical typewriter.
“My dad was part owner at Barry Bourke Holden Warragul and he advertised with the Pakenham Gazette, so that’s how I go the internship,” Tania said.
Spending two months as an interning journalist, Tania learnt the ropes from Star owner and editor at the time, Dot Thomas.
“I remember going out on jobs in a big Ford sedan, having just got my licence without any P plates on,” she said, laughing.
But with a hard earned regional start in journalism, Tania has forged a successful career working for some of Australia’s top media firms, including Seven News and the Herald Sun.

“I was here at the Pakenham office 23 years ago – I was tossing up whether to become a teacher or a journalist,” Tania said.
And it’s Melbourne’s keen interest in what played out on 6 April 1966 at Westall High School in Dandenong that had Tania back on her old stomping ground.
The exclusive interview with Cameron discussed what he’s learnt about the mysterious flying figure from eyewitnesses and just how vivid their memories are today, 50 years on.
Look out for the Journal’s special report on the Westall UFO incident in the Journal online on Friday 1 April and in the Journal newspaper on Monday 4 April.
The Project special report will go to air at 6.30pm on Tuesday 5 April.

Tennessee witness describes UFOs as ‘snake-like’

A Tennessee witness at Knoxville reported watching black, snake-like objects moving slowly across the sky at 100 feet about 7:45 p.m. on March 26, 2016, according to testimony in Case 75447 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The Knoxville witness described the object as snake-like. Pictured: Knoxville, TN. (Credit: Wikimedia Commons)

The witness was sitting outside on a deck observing the sky.

“I watched four very high planes go by, with no sound, and emitting trails,” the witness stated.“Two of them went from north to southeast. Two went west to east. I thought that was very strange.”

But a few minutes later, the witness reported watching a black, solid, snake-like object move over the trees to the east.

“It was spinning very slowly to make a spiral-like shape. Appeared to be close, maybe 100 feet from me. It was making its way very slowly toward the southeast.”

The object was moving across the sky at 100 feet. Pictured: Knoxville, TN. (Credit: Wikimedia Commons)

The witness then called for his wife to come outside.

“During the couple of seconds that I looked away to get my wife’s attention, the object had gone from maybe 100 feet away to extremely high in the sky, maybe 500 feet. It took my wife and 4-year-old daughter about five seconds to make it to the deck. By the time they made it outside, a second object had appeared near the first object.”

A second object appeared near the first that moved away from the witness slowly without sound. Pictured: Knoxville, TN. (Credit: Wikimedia Commons)

The second object was exactly like the first object.

“The two objects slowly ascended out of sight toward the southeast. All three of us watched the objects until they were out of sight. During the sighting, a fifth plane went by, from east to west, very high in the sky, with no sound.”

Tennessee MUFON is investigating. Knoxville is the county seat of Knox County, TN, population 183,270. Please remember that most UFO sightings can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

Teens Arrested In Connection To Stolen UFO At Roswell, New Mexico, March 31, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News

Date of event: March 2016
Location of event: Roswell, New Mexico, USA
News source: 

http://www.coasttocoastam.com/article/arrest-made-in-roswell-ufo-caper

These kids were probably trying to steal it to make a Youtube video of a faked UFO crash. I see they destroyed the disk, which does look like a disk crashed there. Youtube seems to be a big outlet for kids today and peer pressure probably pushed them into it. 
Scott C. Waring
www.ufosightingsdaily.com 

Coast to Coast states:
Police in Roswell have apprehended a teenager that they believe was one of the pranksters behind the theft and destruction of the famed International UFO Museum flying saucer. The audacious crime made headlines last week after authorities released security camera footage showing three men stealing the iconic model UFO. An unfortunate post-script was added to the tale when police subsequently discovered the craft smashed to pieces on the side of a road. But it appears that justice may soon be served with the arrest of the seventeen-year old suspect, who was brought to the attention of authorities via an anonymous tip. As of now, the young man is refusing to divulge the identities of his accomplices in the caper nor what motivated their saucer smashing. Based on the suspect being seventeen years old, we're guessing that it somehow involved impressing a girl. Nonetheless, since he is not providing any answers to investigators, police are hoping that additional insights from the public can help lead to the capture of his co-conspirators. Let's hope they act fast, because with news of their cohort being taken into custody, the remaining members of the coterie of craft smashers may make a run it and the Mexican border is only a mere 160 miles away.

Had The Jupiter Meteorites Hit Earth, It Would Have Been An Extinction Level Event, March 17, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Above is negative effect to see the meteor or meteors that hit.

Date of sighting: March 17, 2016
Location of sighting: Jupiter

Several large meteorites struck Jupiter last week and the videos were captured by an amateur astronomer. In the negative photos below, you can make out the shape of the object, which is not what you would expect. This looks small, but if you compare it to the earth photo below, you will see this would be considered an ELE, extinction level event had it hit earth. It could happen this afternoon, tomorrow or on your birthday...and NASA would not have even had a glint of info about it before it hits. That is how helpless earth is in this solar system.

UFO Exits Ground Below Chinese Fish Farm, Causing 25 Tonnes of Fish To Disappear! March 2016, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery: March 2016
Location of discovery:  Guangxi Zhuang, China
News source: 

http://news.yahoo.com/farmer-loses-25-tonnes-of-fish-after-they-are-124456637.html

The question I present to you is, if this is a sink hole, then why does it have straight, 90 degree angle edges? It should have a slopped angle down. The fish should have filled a small cavern, but for all that water to disappear, there is something very big...very hollow down there with room to spare...like a base. I do believe that this is the entrance or exit of a UFO. UFO often leave their underground bases, and when they do the ground is separated and them pushed back together, however, the water prevented the ground from going back into place, thus creating a hole, probably several km deep to the alien base itself. I would really like to see the look on their faces when a rain of farm fish falls from the base sky onto them.

New Book Claims US Presidents Know The Truth About Extraterrestrials

A new book claims that all presidents since the war, have known about alien visits to Earth. When U.S. President Reagan said he had met extraterrestrials, most Americans assumed he was kidding. President Barack Obama said in March 2012 landing at Roswell, New Mexico that “I come in peace.” The site is famous for the alleged alien spaceship crash landing.

When asked about the recovered extraterrestrial bodies from the wreckage, he said, “If I told you I would have to kill you… we’re going to keep our secrets here.”

A new book “The Presidents and UFOs: A Secret History From FDR to Obama” (Amazon link) claims that US presidents, from Roosevelt to Obama, have known of evidence regarding extraterrestrial visitation on Earth, leaving spaceship debris, alien corpse, and resulting inthousands of UFO sightings.

Recently, a leaked memo written by US Army chief of staff general Gorge C Marshall to President D Roosevelt in March 1942 reveals that “Headquarters has come to the determination that the mystery airplanes are in fact not earthly and according to secret intelligence sources that are in all probability of interplanetary origin.”

In a reply, President Roosevelt urged the “finding of practical uses for the atomic secrets learned from the study of celestial devices.”

In another memo from Roosevelt, he wrote, “coming to grips with the reality that our planet isn’t the only one harboring intelligent life in the universe.” He continued “We’ll take every advantage of such wonders that have come to us.”

The authenticity of the memos has been fiercely debated. These memos are just part of multiple pieces of evidence uncovered by Larry Holcombe in his new book.

Holcombe, 71, stresses that UFOs exist, and alien life has visited Earth. He explained that evidence is enormous that no reasonable person can deny the existence of extraterrestrials.

Actresses Lucille Ball and Shirley MacLaine, who were in a party together with actor Reagan, claimed Reagan told them that a UFO initially blocked his road to the party. An alien eventually came up and told Reagan to leave acting and go into politics.

President Harry S Truman had allegedly formed the Majestic 12 in 1942, a committee of scientists and military who secretly cover up extraterrestrial activities.

Late in the Second World War Dwight D Eisenhower supposedly met with Winston Churchill to discuss a close encounter of RAF reconnaissance aircraft with a UFO near the English coastline.

President John F Kennedy demanded to hand him over the CIA’s secret files. President Bill Clinton has once said that he attempted to get UFO information that was withheld from him. President Richard Nixon reportedly authorized a UFO documentary to use secret video of an alien craft landing but was stopped by intelligence chiefs.

Extraterrestrials and the American Zeitgeist By Aaron John Gulyas

Are you a fan of the UFO and ET phenomena? If your answer is yes then the Extraterrestrials and the American Zeitgeist (Amazon Link)is one of the books that you must check out from the shelves.

Historian-writer and Professor Aaron John Gulyas published the book in the year 2013. Since then, the book has never run-out of credits from the UFO community.

A recent review from Eric Hoffman in openminds.tv pointed out the books jargon-free, scholarly research and insightful-analysis that gives every reader a well-informed and unbiased publication that is worthy of adding into a collection of personal favorites.

The second recent book review came from Robert S. Ellwood of novareligio.com has mentioned how great the influence of the “space brothers” and contactee movement of the 1950’s in sculpting the present political, sociological and cultural conduct of the human race. Overall, the book had a positive response from the satisfied community.

The unbiased scholarly disposition of Gulyas’s in his first book makes the reading experience to be more sensible with a professional point of argument rather than just sighting all the crazy stuffs all at once that oftentimes bring up more questions than answers. The need for clarification of the truth that is sometimes missing in conventional UFO and ET publications was deeply satisfied.

One of the best offers of Gulyas in this book is how he caught America’s beliefs and ideas during the contactee movement which began in the early 1950’s. During these times, there was a string of people who claimed to be visited and communicated by alien beings from different planets. One of the most famous encounters is from George Adamski, who is said to have been friends with a Venusian alien named “Orthon” whose mission is to stop the Earth from destroying itself and send a message of peace, love and interstellar relationship to the Earth. Gulyas presented his facts on how the tale of Adamski became one of the most famous norms in the contactee movement. Gulyas also discussed the encounters by George Van Tassel, George King, Truman Betherum and George Hunt Williamson.

The book also explores the speculation of the “Men in Black” to be a government secret agency that has special connections to the FBI in investigating U.S. citizens and their relationship with UFOs. Later the mind-boggling story captured Hollywood’s creativity and adapted the story to create their box office hit MIB (Men in Black).

The book Extraterrestrials and the American Zeitgeist is perhaps one of the best books that bring both the excitement of the ET phenomenon and the fact finding investigations in a professional taste, which in most cases the way that the extraterrestrial genre must be tackled.

How Ancient Alien Civilizations Almost Destroyed the Earth

Nick Redfern Reveals Evidence of Hostile Alien Events in Centuries Past

Nick Redfern’s vast, world-wide audience is anxiously awaiting the chance to dive into his latest blockbuster, Weapons of the Gods: How Ancient Alien Civilizations Almost Destroyed the Earth (Amazon Link).  Flamboyantly controversial and dependably thought-provoking, Redfern is one of the

foremost experts on government conspiracies, UFOs, aliens and ancient civilizations. In Weapons of the Gods, he studies long-gone civilizations to answer the question: did previous cultures blossom, develop, and thrive, only to destroy themselves, tens or hundreds of thousands of years ago, with the same atomic technology as the bombs that decimated Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

In this startling new book, Redfern reveals evidence of Armageddon-level events in the biblical cities of Sodom and Gomorrah , the ancient Pakistani culture of Mohenjo-daro, Pakistan, and the Lonar Crater in India. In the epic Sanskrit texts of Ramayana and Mahabharata are descriptions of nuclear warfare that took place thousands of years ago.

Redfern argues that many previous civilizations cracked the secrets of the atom, only to become the victims of its terrifying power, while others may have been destroyed by hostile aliens with their own nuclear arsenals.

A reviewer remarked, “You can always count of Nick Redfern for quality conspiracy and UFO literature. His books have run the gamut from alien abduction to exposes on the infamous ‘Men in Black’ to the search for elusive creatures. (He) makes the world of the paranormal so compelling for his readers.”

A popular speaker and media guest, Redfern is the author of dozens of bestsellers on UFOs, cryptozoology, and the world of the paranormal; and, he has appeared on countless TV shows.

Amazing footage of a UFO over Massachusetts 29-Mar-2016

Check out this interesting video of a strange craft flying at low altitude in the night sky above Massachusetts. This was filmed yesterday, on 30th March 2016.

Witness report: Driving towards the Village Commons in South Hadley, my friend and I could see two bright lights in the sky that kind of looked like head lights. They were just sitting in the same spot for a very long time. We could see them about a half a mile away. As we got towards the center of the village commons, it looked as though the ufo was now over us. The two lights that we had previously seen turned into three very bright lights. As we were freaking out I had climbed into the backseat of the car and stuck my head out the window. I could see the three very bright lights in a triangle shape and as I was looking at them, I could make out the circular shape of the craft. It looked very low and gigantic. Not long after it just sat above us and hovered, it started to move very fast and get far away. At this point, I needed to head home but my friend who witnessed it with me, continued to search for it after I left. She found it again on 202 in South Hadley and followed it all the way to Memorial Drive in Chicopee. She called me freaking out saying how close she was to it and that she was going to pul over to try and capture a picture. As soon as she parked, she said she was underneath it like we were before, and then the phone started to act up. I started to lose her and eventually our call dropped. She called me back freaking out telling me she captured pictures and a video. I strongly believe that I saw a ufo tonight. You can watch the video and decide for yourself whether or not you believe my story.
