Earth May Soon Have a Laser Defense System to Cloak it From Hostile Alien Species
Earth May Soon Have a Laser Defense System to Cloak it From Hostile Alien Species
There’s an ever-growing chance of an actual alien invasion taking place in the near future, that’s why scientists are now working on a defense mechanism based on lasers that would cloak our planet’s activity from any unwanted visitors.
A considerable portion of energy emanating from the human race is directed towards the discovery of alien life. Past the enthusiasm of such an accomplishment, there is always the possibility of these intelligent aliens not being so peaceful. Even more, in the case of an alien contact, they could see planet Earth as an extremely valuable place from where to harness resources. After all, we humans are exploiting it, so why shouldn’t they want to do the same?
Fortunately for us, a destructive alien scenario has been pictured by astronomers who also found a solution – cloaking our planet using lasers in case things go the other way around. So how will they do that you might ask? While on the lookout for planets outside of our solar system, astronomers are mainly tracking stars which dim periodically. That perturbation in light indicates that a celestial body is passing in front of it, thus revealing relevant traits about it such as the orbiting time, size, and even how close the planet is to the star.
Although this survey allows only for a few planets to be studied at a given time, it’s an effective way to determine where else could life reside in the universe. Now, if intelligent aliens would use a similar technique when scouting for hospitable planets, they’ll be in for a treat since humans have already developed a way to block all signals.
A project initiated by a team from Columbia University aims at blasting a laser whenever the Earth passes in front of the Sun, thus covering the dip in brightness receive by the Sun and ultimately cloaking us from a hostile alien species. At first, astronomers believed that altering the signal broadcasted by our planet would solve the issue, but they’ve soon reconsidered and found this cloaking scenario more viable. After all, it would only take a 30 megawatts laser blasting into space for 10 hours each year to completely block our planet’s signal whenever it passes in front of the sun. That’s almost the same energy amount collected by the International Space Station’s solar panels in a year, and it is well worth it considering that it could prevent Earth’s total annihilation.
Another possibility would be to use a system of turning lasers that would make us “invisible” on all wavelengths, but that would require approximately 250 megawatts of power. This system may seem like the best choice, but according to scientists, it could also make us more vulnerable to ETs scouting for signs of life because a total cloaking device would only offer limited protection, meaning that indirect signs of our planet can still be intercepted. In theory, this would rise suspicions since our planet will be perceived as a space anomaly.
Another safer way proposed by researchers is the cloaking of atmospheric signals associated with biological activity, such as oxygen and water vapors. This process would only take up to 160 kilowatts of energy and would make Earth look like a dead rock in space, a thing seemingly unwanted by the alien scouts.
“The atmospheric cloaking produces totally self-consistent observations,” said co-author of the study Alex Teachey.“They see a planet, but they think it’s just another dead world floating out in space.”
Whichever system they’ll choose to put in place, it won’t change the fact that ETs may be using technology that exceeds our imagination, thus penetrating through any defense system we build. However, aliens aren’t necessarily bad, and they are not necessarily looking for us, but why not give it a try and cloak the planet since we already have all the necessary means.
“We could build this next week if we really wanted to. It’s totally feasible with current technology,” added Alex Teachey.
There’s another thing though; if we’re trying to hide our planet from hostile alien species, why not assume they’re doing the same? If so, it’s likely they already have a system in place, unlike us who only aspire at one.
The aim of science, as is generally accepted today, is to organize knowledge gleaned from what we observe in nature. We take what we observe, and we structure it by using testable explanations, which thereby help us make future predictions about new things we may eventually learn about our universe. Hence, with regard to our study of nature and the cosmos, a good question that comes to mind from time to time is this one: What criteria would define a subject that science does not seek to address?
When we ask what things science doesn’taim to study in our broader quest for knowledge, should that necessarily mean that these kinds of things, esoteric though they may seem, cannot be “known” or studied at all? This has long been among the questions that philosophers have asked; after all, in the modern sense of the study of things around us, such issues surrounding concepts that fall “beyond” the scope of the physical sciences generally are left out altogether, if not left to the philosophers among us.
One might argue that, when it comes to the study of the unexplained, one way of seeking to understand certain “paranormal” subjects would be to subject them to some degree of logical philosophical thought, particularly in areas where science has either dismissed them (i.e. these aforementioned subjects that science does not address), or where there is not enough physical data that a proper scientific assessment can be rendered.
This brings us to epistemology, which, defined roughly, involves the “theory of knowledge”, or study of how we know what we know (more broadly, it is an assessment of what knowledge is, how it is acquired, and the study of limitations on how knowledge pertinent to a particular subject can be acquired). Recently, Michael, a reader and listener of my weekly podcast, wrote to me with a question about epistemology, and how our philosophical theories of knowledge might relate to the study of the unexplained.
Michael writes, and takes us “down the rabbit hole”, thusly:
What I would like to get your opinion on is a matter of epistemology, and how one who is exposed to such a myriad of ideas and thoughts, often times conflicting ones, can come to know the truth. I reject rigid relativism and subjectivism in favor that there is objective truth. It’s quite possible for there to be objective truth and due to our human limitations we simply cannot know or ever be certain (the skeptics position), but one cannot assume that because something is yet to be verified or unverifiable empirically it is untrue. I find the latter to be an irrational position, but therein lies the problem. What method or means can we rely on outside of sensory experience to give us truth?
Without the dogmatism that science holds today, the ancients may have trusted some other means of truth finding that we have either dismissed or lost. You might think this other method would need some verification process like science has with experimentation, but isn’t that just a scientific bias creeping through? True things, especially events, can certainly be unique instances and unrepeatable. What then is to be said of truth dependent on verification and verified by what means? Divorcing empiricism and verification from truth can obviously lead to a number of errors, so it’s unwise to dismiss these methods entirely and in all cases.
What I am proposing is that outside the realm of things which lend themselves to be subject to science, there is truth to be realized and possibly a way to arrive at it. I know you’ve addressed this kind of issue a number of times, but I think it is worth reiterating and revisiting from time to time because it really underpins nearly all conspiracy and paranormal related topics.
Michael’s discussion of epistemology here is esoteric indeed by today’s standards (and especially as it relates to the “popular” study of the unexplained). Deep though it is, his observations, I feel, may bear fruit for those patients enough to pose similar contemplation; they also mirror, in many ways, my own notions and perceptions about certain alleged “paranormal” phenomenon.
This is particularly the case with UFOs, and I feel that this subject, while representative of something that is also a very tangible mystery, has similarly been deemed “outside the area of questions that science seeks to answer”, as physicists like Stephen Hawking might phrase it.
For me, such matters that science will not (or cannot, at present) address likely should enter the realm of philosophy. The problem, however, is that in many cases, the modern scientist views philosophy as being “dead”, and having not kept up with the progress of science, especially since the time Einstein arrived on the scene with his revolutionary theory of general relativity. Therefore, if philosophy is dead in the minds of some scientists, then those things relegated to philosophy are thus unimportant (or “dead”, as it were) as well.
Hey, even Einstein enjoyed reading the philosophy of Kant.
This ongoing debate over which things are “dead” or otherwise unimportant in relation to the schism between science and philosophy is an interesting logical conundrum unto itself, in my view. However, as far as Michael’s line of thought expressed in his question above, in which things resting “outside of science” may still be knowable in some manner, I do believe that part of understanding this problem involves understanding the nature of individual specialization.
To return to Hawking again, the great physicist has often said that serious advances in the sciences are now relegated to specialists in the field, unlike the old days when many “untrained” individuals who proceeded logically could render new discoveries. Here, I would argue instead that the latter is actually still the case as well, although the specialization Hawking refers to allows new kinds of discoveries, as a result of the deep thought, scientific training, and complex systems that are employed. Such things might have been “knowable” much earlier, had the tools and practices that allow for their study today already been in place at an earlier time. This does not mean, however, that all things are “unknowable” without the use of such tools, training, and practice that the modern specialist employs. Indeed, I think the right non-specialist, looking at the right subject, may indeed stumble onto discoveries in the everyday that are scientifically meaningful.
As an interesting parallel, Hawking’s own specialization illustrates, at times, some of his own logical shortcomings, such as in cases where he begins to apply his thoughts and perspectives to other fields of interest beyond his “specialty” in the area of physics. Hawking, for instance, while not an A.I. researcher himself, seems pretty convinced that the creation of artificial intelligence would be a bad thing for humanity.
Elsewhere, his remarks about philosophy itself have generally been quite dismissive (as have his statements pertaining to UFOs, which we’ll return to in a moment). One could argue that Hawking does not possess the required “specialization” to be able to recognize the shortcomings of his own thought processes, as evidenced not only by his “philosophy is dead” remarks, but also by his observations about philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein’s assessment of language being “the only subject left for philosophy”, as related by Hawking in the final pages of A Brief History of Time. (Personally, I am amazed that there aren’t far more philosophers who have come along and challenged Hawking’s views on Wittgenstein, or A.I., or UFOs, or philosophy in general… but I digress).
I feel that discerning those things which science deems “unknowable” must require a bit more than specialization, and in fact, at times may also require multi-disciplinary efforts. For example, putting on our physicist or astronomy cap, we may look out into space for answers about things like UFOs, but would doing so really help us find any more answers than we have already managed to glean thus far? Furthermore, are there other areas of study that might help us solve the problem too, from “the ground up”, so to speak?
An interesting observation to be made has to do with the attitudes among those studying UFOs — the scientists, and believers alike — which will typically reveal one simple reality: that both “approaches” to study are actually quite dogmatic, and representative of belief-based biases that are built around, or perhaps grow from within, what are obviously social movements.
To put it another way, belief in an “alien” reality underlying UFOs is as much a social movement as modern skepticism and its “I think, therefore it is not!” approach. This is because those of similar mind on a subject will likely gather together, and when allowed to run to their illogical extremes, run the unfortunate risk of producing a very dogmatic, faith-based approach to the study of a given subject. At its worst, this bears promise for a lack of objectivity, and an approach that is generally unscientific, despite any attempts to the contrary.
Philip Klass, widely considered an “arch debunker” of UFOs, and at times even unscientifically so
Thus, a range of new phenomena begin to emerge. Within the skeptic camp, the result has often been a move toward more “debunking” by individuals whose minds are already made up about the subjects they study at the outset of their “investigations”. This, rather famously, led sociologist and skeptic Marcello Truzzi to leave the Committee for Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP, now known as CSI) shortly after it was formed in 1976, due to the uncompromising stances of his fellow members. On the other side of the fence, from within the ranks of the “believer” camp, we find more and more reformed UFO advocates and “born again skeptics”, as I like to call them, who (like myself) have had to accept a vast change in our attitudes and perception about so-called UFO research, after spending many years of (frustrating) examination of data that, often times, is spurious at best.
That’s not to say that either side — belief (or advocacy, as some may prefer), or skepticism — is the way to absolute truth. I actually prefer a more agnostic, middle-of-the-road stance, in an effort not to be dismissive of good evidence that may be put forth by either position. However, straying too far in one direction or the other often leads to bias, just as well.
Thus, while making a good case for what a UFO is (or is not) remains difficult, we could certainly employ science of sociology to make a strong case that belief systems can, and have influenced (perhaps negatively) the serious attempts at applying science to certain subjects. In this case, the subject would be UFOs, and although this observation is fundamental, it is my belief that it is important, on a much broader scale, and not just in terms of sociological studies, but in applying a bit of philosophical logic to the breakdown between people’s thoughts and attitudes. In other words, in the epistemological sense that Michael had suggested earlier, we’re asking “how we know what we think we know.”
This is the great role of philosophy: while some will continue to proclaim that it is a “dead” practice, its proponents and practitioners view it as an important system of “checks and balances”, that if not providing new discoveries itself, might at least help guide future scientific inquiry in positive ways.
Indeed, perhaps our predicament with things “outside” science has more to do with understanding why those things are deemed unknowable through science; and asking “why” is the fundamental job of the philosopher.
Admitting you’re active in the field of UFO research, in all likelihood, will not serve you well as a pickup line when visiting a bar. After all, anytime a subject like alien abduction lands on the table during a conversation with someone you’re just getting to know, you’re bound to get a few strange looks… and if you’re lucky, you might even get a few strange stories, also.
To put it simply, I got lucky last night. But before I have to drag your mind back out of the gutter, I should make it clear what I mean: I was lucky enough to be able to share a conversation with someone who, rather than getting squeamish when the conversation drifted to the subject of alien abduction, responded by calmly saying that, “oh yeah, well that happened to a family member of mine.” The details that followed were incredibly interesting… and perhaps even a bit unsettling.
The conversation took place during a break between sets at a pub I visit once a week near the North Carolina/Georgia border, where my acoustic group is the house band on Wednesday evenings. My friend Amy had stopped in to watch us play, and since she was waiting for a few of her friends to arrive, I started chatting with her at the bar after she came over and told me “she had seen a wolf” on her way into town earlier that evening.
“A wolf,” I said, admitting a bit of skepticism. “Are you sure that wasn’t a coyote?”
She argued that coyotes she had seen were always more scrawny and physically smaller, and soon, a couple of the locals had chimed in with information about wildlife programs where Timber Wolves had been reintroduced in certain areas throughout the region. From this point, the conversation went on to sightings of weird or unusual animals, and before long, a full-on discussion of the unexplained had been initiated. When I admitted my primary area of interest dealt with UFOs, Amy told me something I had hardly expected.
“Well, I believe there’s evidence for that sort of thing. My dad’s mother actually said she was abducted by a UFO back in the 1970s.”
“Oh really?” I replied with genuine interest, though I’ve grown accustomed to people telling these kinds of stories by now.
“Yeah, but they say she’s a little crazy. And the weird thing about it was that she said that when they took her on board, they did all these tests on her… but they weren’t aliens or anything,” Amy told me, grasping for words a bit. “She said they were people on board that thing.”
“Wait, you said people? You meanhumans?”
“That’s right,” Amy said. “She lives in Florida now, but if she’s ever in town, I’ll try and bring her by to speak to you.”
“I may just want to speak to her before then, if it could be arranged!” I told her. While there are a plethora of interesting reports of alleged alien abduction, the more seldom reports where people have claimed that there is a human connection to the entire UFO mystery have always intrigued me. Such reports are often connected with stories of underground bases, secret military projects, and a number of other conspiracy theories; but also of interest are studies that have emerged over the years which seem to suggest altered states of consciousness might be capable of inducing strong hallucinatory experiences where an individual might misinterpret things about their environment (such as with the research of Dr. Rick Strassman, outlined in his bookDMT: The Spirit Molecule). Could it be even a remote possibility that some accounts of “alien abduction” involve something far more terrestrial going on, as perceived by abductees who filter their experience through the distortions some kind of altered state might present? Furthermore, what could be the reason for such an altered state (which could lend itself to the reasons for “dreamlike” experiences reported by many abductees)? Is there a chance they could be the result of some variety of hallucinagens that victims of abduction scenarios might be introduced to in some way?
While this is all mere speculation (and stemming from a conversation this author had with a friend at the pub), it does remind me of the countless other experiences reported by abductees that seem to bear these sorts of characteristics. What could be the real story behind the abduction phenomenon, and might certain aspects of the mystery remain far closer to home than most of us are willing to accept or realize otherwise?

New Mysteries Emerge from Undeneath Dwarf Planet Ceres’ Surface
New Mysteries Emerge from Undeneath Dwarf Planet Ceres’ Surface
New images sent back from dwarf planet Ceres reveal a detailed perspective of the bright white spots considered by many to be an extraterrestrial city.
To recap on this topic, Ceres is a dwarf planet located between Mars and Jupiter that was subject to heated debate last year, when scientists around the world tried to determine what formed the mysterious white dots seen on the planetary surface. With the recent photos beamed back by NASA’s Dawn spacecraft, researchers are closer than ever to solving this puzzle.
The pictures revealed only recently at the 47th annual Lunar Planetary Science Conference in Texas, were captured from a distance of 385 kilometers (240 miles) above the Occator Crater, a 4 kilometers-deep hole on the planet’s surface stretching across 92 kilometers of rocky terrain.
The novelty of those pictures is given by the relatively low altitude from where the probe is hovering above the dwarf planet. Planetary scientist Ralf Jaumann explained the following:
“Before Dawn began its intensive observations of Ceres last year, Occator Crater looked to be one large bright spot. Now, with the latest close views, we can see complex features that provide new mysteries to investigate. The intricate geometry of the crater interior suggests geologic activity in the recent past, but we will need to complete detailed geologic mapping of the crater in order to test hypotheses for its formation.”
The team of researchers has also made public a colour map of Ceres’ surface which contains the various materials from which the dwarf planet is made of and a close analysis of craters around it. This data is vital for determining what lies below the Ceres’ crust.
Another surprise from Ceres comes from the Oxo Crater where traces of water were spotted through the infrared mapping spectrometer (VIR). It appears that the bright spots are not the only controversial subject, as numerous mysteries are still being found by the orbiting probe.
A new research paper will soon be released with some of the mysterious discoveries on the dwarf planet. The new data will encompass further details into the mystery regions of the planet such as the Occator Crater, but will also focus on new discoveries such as the liquid water recently observed.
Although astronomers debunked the white bright dots as being salt deposits, it has been highlighted that they constantly change in shape and size, and no one seems to know the reason for the moment.
“We’re excited to unveil these beautiful new images, especially Occator, which illustrates the complexity of the processes shaping Ceres’ surface,” said Carol Raymond, deputy principal investigator for the mission. “Now that we can see Ceres’ enigmatic bright spots, surface minerals, and morphology in high resolution, we’re busy working to figure out what processes shaped this unique dwarf planet.”
The latest high-resolution map of Occator Crater clearly indicates there’s no alien city found on the surface of the planet, but since there’s a clear indicator of geologic activity underneath the dwarf planet, along with liquid water and other anomalies, the possibility of an underground ecosystem arises.
Furthermore, there are some sky watchers and UFO analysts who firmly believe there are signs of intelligent life on Ceres. Although NASA has unveiled a close-up of the bright spots from Occator Crater, the bizarre mountain “Ahuna Mons” hasn’t been brought into discussion yet. Could this prove that the renowned space agency has found something suspicious there and refuses to reveal it to the public until a proper investigation (or alteration) has been done?
Whatever the case, dwarf planet Ceres will remain as enigmatic as last year and will provide debatable content for both the scientific community and UFO enthusiasts. Until NASA reveals more pictures, we can only speculate on what could reside underneath Ceres’ crust, but I have a feeling that we’re not being told everything.
An Ancient Egyptian necklace of Extraterrestrial origin
An Ancient Egyptian necklace of Extraterrestrial origin
The study obtained incredible results not only because of the origin of the mysterious minerals but because the ancient necklace was manufactured in 3200 B.C.
In 1911, during the excavation of the graves of Naqada, north of Egypt, archaeologists came across what appeared to be a necklace made of iron inlaid with gold and precious stones, but they couldn’t be more wrong.
More than a century later, a study conducted by Egyptologist Thilo Rehren of the University of Hamad bin Khalifa showed that the precious ancient treasure, currently in possession of the Petrie Museum in London, is actually made of meteoric iron. X-ray analysis determined that the necklace was made from thin sheets of iron from a meteorite, molded with a hammer and rolled in the form of beads.
Researchers discovered that the nickel content of this original metal was extremely high, indicating that it originated from a meteorite, and not from Earth minerals as first believed. During the study, scientists identified a distinctive crystalline structure called a Widmanstätten pattern. Scientists say that this structure can only be found in iron meteorites that cooled extremely slow inside their asteroids during the formation of our solar system.
Professor Thilo Rehren, lead author of the Journal of Archaeological Science study said: „The beads were created by ‘multiple cycles of hammering’ and not by the traditional carving or drilling stone techniques that were used on other beads found in the same tomb.“
The study obtained incredible results not only because of the origin of the mysterious minerals but because the ancient necklace was manufactured in 3200 B.C., almost two thousand years before the iron casting technique was developed, proving one more time that the Ancient Egyptian civilization was extremely advanced having developed techniques that were reinvented by ‘modern’ society thousands of years later.
Scientists from the University College London’s Petrie Museum conducted several tests of beads and necklaces, pictured in the image. They used gamma ray scans to demonstrate that the beads, which were originally believed to be made from simple iron, were in fact created using fragments of meteorites thousands of years ago
In an interview with Culture24, Professor Rehren said: ‘The really exciting outcome of this research is that we were for the first time able to demonstrate conclusively that there are typical trace elements such as cobalt and germanium present in these beads, at levels that only occur in meteoritic iron.’
The study allowed researchers to understand for the first time ever, the internal structure of the beads revealing how they were created, showing an extremely advanced knowledge and skill of metal work.
A gift from the ‘Gods’
‘The sky was very important to the ancient Egyptians,’ said Joyce Tyldesley, an Egyptologist at the University of Manchester, UK, and a co-author of the paper on the discovery.
‘Something that falls from the sky is going to be considered as a gift from the gods.’
Dr. Tyldesley added: ‘Today, we see iron first and foremost as a practical, rather dull metal. To the ancient Egyptians, however, it was a rare and beautiful material which, as it fell from the sky, surely had some magical/religious properties.

Alien hunters are demanding an explanation from NASA over the “formation of UFOs” seen in an image posted by the space agency.
The photograph has sparked fresh debate despited being published in 2001.
Conspiracy theorists believe this picture, captured during the STS 100 Space Shuttle Endeavor Mission to the International Space Station, shows a “formation of UFOs.”

In 2013, alien enthusiasts including YouTuber, UFOvni2012, posted videos highlighting aspects of the photograph they wanted NASA to explain.
At the heart of their request are small silver-like dots seen in the following picture.
UFOVNI2012/YOUTUBE
Now UFO forums including The Black Vault, have reignited a conversation about the so-called “sighting,” speculating on what that objects might be.
They also draw attention to other “anomalies” in the picture that could be satellites or space debris, latest-ufo-sightings reports.
Sceptics have suggested that the “unidentified objects” could be the result of multiple photos being placed on top of each other.
However, The Black Vault group believe that this technique would make “additional anomalies appear as several objects and not several single objects,” UFO sightings reports.
The world of dreams is a mystery to all. We dream every night when we go to sleep, though sometimes we remember our dreams and sometimes we do not. It can be a lot of fun to relay your dreams to friends and coworkers the next day, but often their significance is only perceptible to yourself and you end up boring your audience with a long, drawn-out recall of the previous night’s adventures.
Have you ever woken up from a dream so real that you were overcome with whatever emotion had been triggered in the dream, such as sadness, anger, bliss, or excitement? How about waking up with a huge sigh of relief that it was only a dream? Dreams can seem so real to our minds that our bodies actually respond as if they were.
Despite all our years of studying and trying to interpret dreams, the age-old question remains, what is the significance of dreams and do they actually mean anything in relation to waking life? Many people dismiss dreams as random thoughts formulated from the subconscious mind, but what about the concept of precognitive dreams — dreams about events or experiences that haven’t yet occurred, but end up taking place at a later point in reality? The very notion goes against what we know to be true of time and relativity; if time is linear, then precognitive dreams simply cannot be possible.
Is It Possible To Accurately Dream About The Future?
Dr. Stanley Krippner, Professor of Psychology at Saybrook University, has devoted his life to the research and experimentation of parapsychology, precognitive dreaming, and shamanism for the past forty years. He claims that this phenomenon of precognitive dreaming is not only possible, but his research can back it up. In an interview with Geraldine Cremine of Vice Motherboard, Krippner explained one of his most significant laboratory studies on precognitive dreaming:
Each night, the subject dreamer would go through an ordinary night of dreaming, with an intent to dream about an experience he would have the following morning. The dreamer was woken 4-5 times throughout the night to relay his dreams to an experimenter. The following mornings, experimenters randomly selected an experience from a number of prearranged options, and the dreamer was subjected to that experience. Dr. Krippner said there was no way for the participants to know what experience they would encounter before it was selected and administered.
The following is a specific example of a dreamer who, one night, had several dreams about birds in various different settings and circumstances. The following morning, the dreamer was exposed to one of the experiences selected at random. “The experience was to have him sit with earphones on,” Dr. Krippner said. “And what was played? Bird calls. He was also played a video. And what was played? Pictures of birds.” After the experiment, which lasted 8 days, was over, outside judges who were not a part of the original experiment were called in to determine the dreams of the dreamers versus the experiences they were subjected to upon waking. For each participant, the judges were able to find at least one match between a dream and the random experience on most nights of the experiment.
Even if we were to accept — at least for argument’s sake — that this phenomenon of precognitive dreaming is possible, we are still left wanting an explanation. And unfortunately, we simply don’t have one yet.
What we do know is that the unconscious mind is capable of having deep revelations during the rapid eve movement (REM) state of sleep, aka: the dream state. One example of such a revelation occurred in 1865, when chemist Frederich August Kekulé was struggling to understand how atoms in the benzene molecule were arranged. After wrestling with the problem for some time, he fell asleep and dreamt about a snake biting its own tail. Through this image, he conceived the benzene ring, revolutionizing organic chemistry in the process. But people come to much more mundane understandings during sleep all the time, as I’m sure you yourself have on one or more occasions, perhaps explaining where the phrase, I’ll sleep on it comes from.
Could Quantum Physics Be The Answer?
Quantum physics offers one theory for precognitive dreams, suggesting that during the uninhibited state of REM, the brain may be capable of identifying some kind of a signal that we aren’t aware of in our conscious state. These signals could assist with awareness of the future. This idea links to theories of quantum entanglement and the idea that two separate particles or points in time can interact as if connected to one another despite being spatially separated.
Dr. Krippner himself elaborated on how quantum physics could potentially explain precognitive dreaming. “Quantum events happen on a different time scale to what most people live and experience in the West,” he explained. “We have this understanding of time that is: ‘past, present, future.’ But quantum physics gives you a different concept of time.” He says that these same concepts are found throughout the many indigenous cultures he studied during his research into precognitive dreaming and shamanism:
Many indigenous people see time going in a circle; it goes around and around and it’s a spiral. “Then you also have the indigenous North American point of view that people lived in a ‘long body’; they do not end where their skin ends. A person’s long body projects and involves other people and other parts of nature, so everything is happening all at once. For them it’s no surprise that you can dream about the future.
Precognitive & Lucid Dreams
Precognitive dreams are fairly common phenomena and many people have reported experiencing them, including some famous people throughout history, like Abraham Lincoln and Mark Twain. While researching this topic I also came across some interesting information on lucid precognitive dreams – the notion that you could actually intend to see into the future by being conscious in your dream and asking questions such as: What are Saturday’s winning lottery numbers?; What will be the best performing stock tomorrow? and so on… Trying this out for yourself could help prove that it works, and would be a fun experiment at the very least.
Dreams are a mystical experience to all who have them, and I think it’s safe to say that few people aren’t at least curious about their nightly adventures. Have you had any dreams you would consider precognitive? Please share with us in the comments below!
What’s happening at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi? Specifically, why are so many UFOs being reported there? This week, reports of a fish-shaped UFO over the airport prompted calls to the government security force responsible for the facility to deal with it. What was it and why is this airport attracting so many UFOs?
According to Indian media, a member of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) working in an airport watchtower issued an alarm on March 30th after seeing an unidentified flying object over the apron area where airplanes are parked for boarding and unloading.
It looked like a dark-colored balloon floating above the apron area.
Specifically, a fish-shaped object. CISF is required to notify both the Indian Air Force and National Security Guards before taking action against UFOs. A so-called “quick-response” team was dispatched to “shoot down” the fish-shaped UFO, but it was gone by the time they arrived and nothing more appeared on air traffic control radar over that area or adjoining aprons.
Shoot it down? Is security at the Indira Gandhi International Airport a little jumpy? Well, CIFS Director General Surender Singh announced at the organization’s last big meeting that 62 UFO sightings were reported at the airport in a four month period. Most airports are still on alert because of the Brussels bombings and the Indian media said that there were a number of recent hoax reports at the airport. However, Indian media also points out that Delhi police have been authorized since January to …
… shoot down any unacknowledged flying device in the capital’s sky, especially in and around the airport, be they paragliders, drones, hot air balloons or other machines.
Not the “fish-shaped” UFO seen over the New Delhi airport
Yes, it was a “fish-shaped” floating object. That sounds like it might be a balloon, except a balloon would show up on radar, wouldn’t it? Why does this particular airport have so many unresolved UFO reports? Does New Delhi really lead the world in paragliders, drones, hot air balloons or other hard-but-not-impossible-to-identify flying objects? Why is it so difficult for this particular airport to patrol its perimeter when so many other busy airports in heavily populated metropolitan areas seem to be able to do it effectively and without shooting down UFOs?
Or is something else happening at the Indira Gandhi International Airport? Keep watching.
In a December 2013 article here at Mysterious Universe titled “Arnold’s Flying Saucers: Were They Saucers at All? Micah Hanks wrote: “Despite the popularity this subject would garner in those golden years after the War, perhaps there is no early UFO incident that has proven to be quite as influential as that of Kenneth Arnold, a civilian pilot who spotted an entire fleet of strange aircraft while flying over Washington state in June of 1947. The strange craft that Arnold observed would spark a flame that grew like wildfire, eventually forming the modern UFO phenomenon, and at the center of it all was the curious staple that became known as the flying saucer.”
Arnold’s encounter occurred on June 24, 1947, around twenty to twenty-five miles from Mt. Rainier, in the Cascade Mountains. Precisely what Arnold saw is something that Ufologists have pondered on for decades. They will likely continue to do so for decades, too. The Arnold affair has become such a staple part of the UFO controversy that, for many, it’s right up there with the Roswell case. However, I’m not here, today, to discuss the merits of the case. Rather, I’m going to share with you a bit of notable data that might provide corroboration for Arnold and his experience.
The story revolves around the testimony of a man named Fred Johnson. He was a prospector who may have seen the very same objects encountered by Arnold. Both military intelligence and the FBI took an interest in what Johnson had to say. It should be noted that the FBI has chosen to black-out Johnson’s name on its paperwork; however, that the military has not means we know who the man was.
“Fred Johnson reported without consulting any records that on June 24, 1947, while prospecting at a point in the Cascade Mountains approximately five thousand feet from sea level, during the afternoon he noticed a reflection, looked up, and saw a disc proceeding in a southeasterly direction. Immediately upon sighting this object he placed his telescope to his eye and observed the disc for approximately forty-five to sixty seconds.”
We’re then told that Johnson “…remarked that it is possible for him to pick up an object at a distance of ten miles with his telescope. At the time the disc was sighted by Mr. Johnson it was banking in the sun, and he observed five or six similar objects but only concentrated on one. He related that they did not fly in any particular formation and that he would estimate their height to be about one thousand feet from where he was standing. He said the object was about thirty feet in diameter and appeared to have a tail. It made no noise.
“According to Johnson he remained in the vicinity of the Cascades for several days and then returned to Portland and noted an article in the local paper which stated in effect that a man in Boise, Idaho, had sighted a similar object but that authorities had disclaimed any knowledge of such an object. He said he communicated with the Army for the sole purpose of attempting to add credence to the story furnished by the man in Boise.”
And, finally, we have this: “Johnson also related that on the occasion of his sighting the objects on June 24, 1947 he had in his possession a combination compass and watch. He noted particularly that immediately before he sighted the disc the compass acted very peculiar, the hand waving from one side to the other, but that this condition corrected itself immediately after the discs had passed out of sight. Informant appeared to be a very reliable individual who advised that he had been a prospector in the states of Montana, Washington and Oregon for the past forty years.”
Scientists have devised a method to “cloak,” or hide, the Earth from potentially hostile advanced alien civilizations. According to scientists, we could cloak or hide the Earth from hostile alien planet hunters seeking potentially habitable planets by firing laser beams into outer space to disrupt efforts by extraterrestrial astronomers to detect signals that betray our planet’s presence as it orbits the Sun in the habitable zone.
The proposal by Professor David Kipping and and his graduate student Alex Teachey, two astronomers at Columbia University in New York, comes in response to fears that just as astronomers on Earth are scanning the skies in search of potentially habitable exoplanets, technologically advanced alien civilizations located near distant stars may also be searching our solar system for potentially habitable planets.
Prominent scientists, such as the astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, have voiced concern about the potential dangers of our world being discovered by more advanced alien civilizations. A hostile, advanced extraterrestrial civilization that discovers us could decide to invade and take over our world. Even if an alien civilization that discovers our world “comes in peace,” first contact could be very risky because they could introduce deadly diseases that humans on Earth have no defenses against and thus expose humanity to the risk of extinction.
According to Kipping and Teachey, we could make our world invisible and effectively prevent it from being detected by advanced and possibly hostile alien races searching for potentially habitable planets by beaming a laser into space during the periods that Earth is transiting or passing in front of the Sun.
The laser would hide our planet from alien astronomers by disguising the dimming of the Sun’s light — as seen from the perspective of the observing civilization — each time Earth passes in front of the Sun. Beaming a laser with a sufficient amount of power into space could thus render Earth invisible to potential alien invaders.
The “cloaking” concept being proposed by scientists is based on the principle underlying the transit method that human astronomers have used successfully to detect exoplanets orbiting distant stars. The method involves detecting dips in the brightness of the parent star as the orbiting planet passes in front of it.
Analysis of the patterns of dips or dimming of a distant star could give astronomers information about characteristics, such as size and density, of the celestial body passing in front of the star.

“To make it look like the planet is not there at all, you’ve got to get rid of that dip. You’ve got to fill in the missing starlight.”
NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope has used the transit method to detect hundreds of planets orbiting other distant stars in our galaxy. The scientists reasoned that alien astronomers observing our solar system from a distant star in our galaxy would likely use the same method to search for potentially habitable exoplanets.
According to Kipping and Teachey, blasting laser beams into space at the time Earth is passing in front of the Sun compensates for dips in the brightness of the Sun when the Earth passes in front of it. Thus, an alien planet hunter measuring changes in solar brightness would not notice any dips.
The researchers also noted that the concept is implementable because not much energy is needed to “cloak” our planet. Dips or dimming of the Sun’s light could be masked by emitting 30 MW laser continuously for 10 hours once a year at the time the Earth is passing in front of the Sun.

[Image via Shutterstock]Kipping explained that he thought of the idea after reports about the star KIC 8462852 that was found in 2015 to exhibit an anomalous dimming pattern which some speculated could be due to an “alien megastructure” orbiting the star.
The reports inspired Kipping to consider how an advanced civilization could deliberately alter transit signals it sends out to space to deceive alien astronomers attempting to observe the planet from a distant star.
“There is an ongoing debate as to whether we should advertise ourselves or hide from advanced civilizations potentially living on planets elsewhere in the Galaxy,” Kipping said. “Our work offers humanity a choice, at least for transit events, and we should think about what we want to do.”
The researchers noted there are other ways that an intelligent civilization could hide its world from alien observers. Instead of wiping out the transit signals of its planet entirely, a civilization could distort it. The options include deliberately erasing the signals of life that the planet sends out to space.
For instance, we could emit a laser with a power of only 160 KW into space to cloak atmospheric signatures — such as oxygen — that alien astrobiologists could interpret as signalling presence of biological life on Earth.
Kipping and Teachey emphasized that their proposed “cloaking” technique is so simple that “we could build it this next week if we wanted to.”
President Dwight Eisenhower held a secret meeting with extraterrestrial visitors during the early hours of February 21, 1954, while on a “vacation” to Palm Springs in California, according to UFO and alien conspiracy theorists.
He went “missing” after he was whisked away secretly to Edwards Air Force Base and was not seen until he appeared at a church service in Los Angeles the next Sunday morning.
The official explanation of his mysterious “disappearance” was that he had to undergo an emergency dental surgery.
The abrupt disappearance of the president was so unusual that it fueled speculation about an illness or death in the media. The speculation became so intense that the rumors had to be dispelled by the president’s press secretary, James Haggerty, who told incredulous reporters at a press conference that Eisenhower had damaged a tooth cap while eating fried chicken and had to undergo emergency surgery.
An artist’s representation of Grey aliens who allegedly signed a treaty with the Eisenhower administration [Image via Shutterstock]A local dentist was later presented to reporters who claimed he had treated Eisenhower.
But strange rumors began spreading following information leaked by well-placed sources. The rumors alleged that the local dentist was used to provide Eisenhower with a cover story while he rendezvoused secretly with the extraterrestrial visitors at the Edwards Air Force Base.
Significantly, there are no records at the Eisenhower Library — which reportedly has extensive records related to Eisenhower’s health — that he ever underwent dental surgery in February 1954, according to UFO researcher William Moore.
Eisenhower thus became the first American president to have direct contact with extraterrestrials, according to conspiracy theorists. The meeting took place at Edwards Air Force Base in southern California during the early hours of February 21 in 1954. It was the first in a series of meetings that culminated in the signing of a treaty between the U.S. government and an extraterrestrial race called the Greys.
The First Contact meeting, as it is termed in UFO conspiracy theory circles, involved some intrigue. Eisenhower’s secret First Contact meeting on February 21, 1954, is believed to have been with the Nordic aliens, also known as Pleiadian aliens, an advanced extraterrestrial race from the Pleiades star cluster with distinctive Nordic appearance, such as fair hair, blue eyes, and white skin.
The two sides were unable to reach an agreement on the night of the First Contact, and the Greys took advantage of the failure by offering more favorable terms. The offer by the Greys allegedly led to the first treaty between humans and an extraterrestrial race.
According to UFO conspiracy theorists, several pieces of circumstantial evidence add up to support claims that the Eisenhower administration held “First Contact” meetings with extraterrestrial beings. The first circumstantial evidence was the awkward manner in which Eisenhower “disappeared” during the night of February 20-21 in the midst of an unscheduled winter vacation in Palm Springs, California, and the clumsy efforts by officials to explain his disappearance.
One of the first eyewitness testimonies came from Gerald Light, a writer and leading member of the community dedicated to metaphysical research. A letter circulated widely in the UFO and alien conspiracy community, dated April 16, 1954, is alleged to have been written by Gerald Light to Meade Layne, Director of Borderland Sciences Research Foundation. In the letter (see copy here), Light allegedly claimed to have been one of a group of community leaders who was present at the First Contact meeting with extraterrestrials at Edwards Air Force Base.
The group of “community leaders” included Edwin Nourse, President’s Truman’s chief economic adviser, Cardinal James Francis MacIntyre, head of the Catholic Church in Los Angeles at the time, and 80-year-old Franklin Winthrop Allen, a former reporter with Hearst Newspaper Group.
Light claimed in the letter he allegedly wrote to Layne that he recently returned from Muroc Airfield (now Edward Air Force Base). The letter contains a single reference to “Etherians” (presumed to be the aliens), and it includes a comment about “five separate and distinct types of aircraft being studied and handled by our Air Force officials — with the assistance and permission of the Etherians!
The aircraft are believed to be alien UFOs stored at the facility for reverse-engineering studies.
The letter gives a vivid description of the bewilderment, confusion, and panic among the officials present at the meeting. UFO conspiracy theorists claim that Light’s account reveals uncertainty about how to respond to the aliens and fears due to the Cold War that the aliens could turn to the Soviets if the Americans spurned them.
But it is claimed that Eisenhower finally decided to reject the proposals of the Nordic aliens he met at the First Contact meeting at the Edwards Air Force Base in February 1954, and his administration eventually signed a treaty with the Greys, who offered to transfer their technology exclusively to the United States.
Several whistle-blowers claimed to have seen documents signed at the meetings while others claimed they obtained information from inside sources. The different versions of what allegedly transpired at the First Contact meetings leaked by the whistle-blowers agree on certain major points but differ in specific details.
Grey aliens land in a flying saucer [Image via Shutterstock]One of the best-known whistle-blowers, William Cooper, a former Naval intelligence officer who allegedly had access to classified documents, claimed that the First Contact meeting at the Edward Air Force Base in February 1954 was the culmination of a series of events after astronomers discovered a fleet of huge UFOs approaching Earth in 1953. First mistaken for asteroids, they were later determined to be spaceships.
Alien radio signals were allegedly intercepted under Project Sigma just before the UFOs went into high orbit. Project Plato was launched to receive the aliens and hold talks.
But before the aliens approaching in a huge UFO fleet landed, a different alien race contacted the U.S government and warned against the first group of aliens. But talks with the first group failed after they demanded nuclear disarmament and warned that humanity was on a path to self-destruction. They proposed instead to help humans to develop along a peaceful path to spiritual fulfillment.
Because the primary interest of the U.S. government at the time was signing a treaty that gives access to advanced alien technology, the Eisenhower administration rejected the overtures from the first alien group — the Nordic aliens — during the First Contact meeting at the Edwards Air Base and agreed to sign a treaty with the second group — the Greys — during a subsequent meeting at the Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico in 1954.
Elements of the sketchy account given by Cooper were allegedly confirmed independently by other whistle-blowers, including Charles Suggs, a former retired U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant, who claimed that his father, a senior naval officer, had attended the First Contact meeting with the Nordic aliens in February 1954.
John Lear, another independent whistle-blower, was a former air force pilot and the son of William Lear, who built the Lear Jet. Lear also confirmed that two alien races had been involved in the First Contact meetings.

Robert Dean, a former intelligence officer, described Nordic aliens as humanoids with Nordic features, and the Greys as tall humanoids up to 9 feet tall with pale white skin, large eyes, large head, and spindly limbs.
Greys allegedly originated from a star in the constellation of Orion. Other reports claimed they came from a planet in the star system Zeta Reticuli.
Details of the agreement with the Greys leaked by whistle-blowers include non-interference in human affairs in exchange for accommodation on Earth under conditions of secrecy. In return, they would furnish the U.S. government with advanced technology to help the country to stay ahead of enemy nations. The Greys also agreed they would not approach any other nation to make a treaty.
The Greys were housed in an underground facility in Dulce where Phil Schneider claimed he encountered them while working as a geological engineer employed by a private company contracted to build underground bases for the Greys.
Schneider revealed that part of the treaty agreement allowed the Greys to abduct a very limited number of humans for medical research and experiments. But the Greys proved untrustworthy and violated the agreement on abductions.
Most reports of UFO sightings and stories of abductions involved Greys freely violating the treaty with the government, according to UFO conspiracy theorists.

Little Green Men: A Look at the Official Soviet X-Files Investigation
Little Green Men: A Look at the Official Soviet X-Files Investigation
It was 4:05 a.m. on Sept. 20, 1977. Something serious was happening over the skies of Petrozavodsk .
A group of dockworkers on the early shift that morning say they saw a blinding light emerge from the direction of Lake Onega in northwest Russia. As it approached Petrozavodsk, the light took on the appearance of a glimmering jellyfish, before slowing to a hover and unleashing a salvo of ultra-thin beams of light.
The dockworkers were left wondering what they had seen. Some were concerned they were witnessing a nuclear attack: This was, after all, the height of the Cold War.
But that did not explain what came next. After 12 puzzling minutes, the shining object transformed into a bright semicircle and jetted off back toward Lake Onega. Rather than disappearing over the horizon, it appeared to veer upward, before punching a burning red hole in the clouds, and disappearing into the abyss.
No one died, and the United States, it seemed, was not involved.
The Petrozavodsk jellyfish was not the first time a UFO had been spotted over the territory of the Soviet Union, but few sightings had ever been corroborated by so many people. Policemen, sailors, an ambulance crew and even a reporter for the TASS news agency all claimed to have seen the object. The TASS reporter filed his story three days later under the headline: "A strange natural phenomena over Karelia."
Neighboring governments became alarmed, suspecting the Soviets had tested a new type of weapon. They demanded an explanation from Moscow, but Soviet leaders were apparently just as baffled. Officials even turned to the Academy of Sciences — the highest collection of scientific minds in the communist bloc — for an explanation. The Academy had no satisfactory answer, concluding that the UFO was a real physical phenomenon that required further study.
As Soviet UFO enthusiasts began promoting their own interpretations, the Kremlin convened an unprecedented meeting of military and scientific experts. They all agreed the UFO issue was too big to ignore, and resolved to launch a state investigation into the phenomenon.
Managed by the Defense Ministry and Academy of Sciences, the secret investigation began in 1978 and would run to the end of the Soviet era.

The Network
The secret Soviet X-files investigation came to be known in government circles as The Network, and was the largest official investigation into the UFO phenomenon ever conducted. For 13 years, The Network was tasked not with the simple collection of UFO reports — this was left to amateurs — but with understanding them scientifically.
The man tapped to lead the project was a young astrophysicist named Yuly Platov. Now in his 80s, Platov told The Moscow Times that he found out about the project in conversation with the head of his institute. He realized it would be an opportunity to flex his scientific muscles, and so pressed his boss to be given the chance to take part. A few days later he was contacted, quite unexpectedly, and put in charge of the entire project.
Initially the work was top secret. "Maybe we would really find aliens or maybe our findings would have military applications," Platov says. "It wasn't clear at the start what we might find."
The Network was made up of 20 organizations staffed by specialists in physics, chemistry, optics and spectroscopy. "So many people from different professions had to be united," Platov says. "I was the one who had to unite them, and that was difficult, especially for someone like me."
The astrophysicist also had to coordinate his efforts with a parallel structure in the Defense Ministry, which was not without cultural difficulties. "If a scientist is faced with something he doesn't understand, he tries to explore and study the phenomenon," Platov said. "But if something isn't clear for the military, then it is a possible target, or a potential enemy."
The Network gathered data from two main sources. The Academy of Sciences provided reports submitted by Soviet citizens or scientific institutes. The Defense Ministry collected data from soldiers serving in the Soviet military, who were required to report any strange phenomena, especially if it interfered with hardware.
Over the course of its existence, The Network would receive some 3,000 reports of UFO sightings. In the beginning, things were more difficult, and Platov's team instead relied on the research of independent UFO enthusiasts. King among such enthusiasts was an astronomer by the name of Felix Zigel, considered by many followers to be the founding father of Russian UFO studies.
Zigel was obsessive in collecting witness reports over the years, but all of it was unverified. Platov's organization got to work checking the data. Occasionally, a fresh report would prove intriguing enough to persuade Platov and his team to go into the field to investigate.
Platov recalls several fruitless trips to verify Zigel's UFO sightings. The first report came from a 10-year-old boy named Nikita, who claimed to have witnessed a UFO taking off from a field in suburban Moscow. However, when Platov arrived at the Nikita's apartment to ask questions, the boy began to sob uncontrollably. "He looked at his uncle, all doe-eyed, and admitted making it all up," says Platov.
On another outing, Platov's research ream joined Zigel's amateur investigators on a field trip. "Zigel was the chief, the big boss for these guys," Platov says. "Pity he wasn't much of a scientist."
Zigel's research methods were certainly unorthodox. According to Platov, the UFO researcher asked a female colleague to walk around the scene of a reported UFO landing, telling her to stand in various locations and say if she felt strange energy. "Wherever he put her, she'd say 'no,' but he wouldn't give up," says Platov. "Finally, she said she felt something, and he was satisfied."
The team from the academy watched the experiment with detached amusement. After a while, one of them called out to Zigel and joked that he should blindfold her to improve accuracy. The enthusiast was not amused. It was the last time Zigel's organization cooperated with The Network. "When he realized that we weren't obsessed by looking for little green men, he drifted away," says Platov.

Zigel's Disciples
While Platov and his team plugged away at their investigation, Zigel continued his own search for the truth until his death in 1988. He built his own parallel team of scientists and amateurs to investigate what he believed to be a genuine paranormal or alien phenomenon. He also cultivated close ties with Western ufologists, who began publishing his case books.
After his death, Zigel's legacy was continued by several disciples from the original research group. They continue working to this day, and chief among them is Alexander Semyonov, who leads a group called Ecology of the Unknown.
Like his mentor, Semyonov is a true believer. Like other Russian UFO enthusiasts, he believes UFOs explain much of the technological superiority of the United States over Russia. B-2 stealth bombers and iPhones are the direct result of the Pentagon being more in tune with UFOs than the Russian Defense Ministry, they say.
Joseph Kellner, an academic specializing in the Russian UFO movement, describes the efforts of these amateur investigators as "romantic," and borne out of a "suspicion of the academic mainstream."
Much of what they base their understanding of UFOs on was imported from Western UFO mythology, says Daniel Galaydow, the official UFO correspondent for the Vechernyaya Moskva newspaper. He is skeptical of many reports from the 1990s, suspicious that jobless military and intelligence officers were creating stories to conform to Western UFO traditions, and then selling them to foreign UFO researchers.
Yet Galaydow remains insistent that UFOs are a reality, and says the best evidence of this comes from the late Soviet period. He speaks of sources in the military-industrial community showing him evidence of a flying saucer crash in Vladivostok in 1986, with the remains supposedly recovered by the Soviet military.
"I don't know whether or not Russian science has research centers that can reverse engineer captured UFOs and interrogate their alien crews to understand their technology," Galaydow says. "Though, I suppose, if we had alien technology, our government would have already used it in this new standoff with the United States."
One Last Puzzle
When it made its conclusions in 1990, the official results of The Network's 13-year inquiry into UFOs concluded that there was no substantive evidence of alien visitation. Just 300 of the 3,000 or so cases they investigated from 1978 to 1990 were considered legitimately anomalous. The other 90 percent were easily explained by man-made activity: usually involving aerospace technology, such as rocket launches and light reflecting off the cylindrical and triangle shaped weather balloons used by research institutes around the world.
While true believers hang on to those 300 reports, they now generally accept that rocket launches were often misreported as alien activity. The Petrozavodsk jellyfish was no exception.
As soon as the Western press began reporting the Petrozavodsk event, it caught the attention of a young engineer half a world away. Dr. James Oberg was a mission controller at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. As a keen observer of Russian spaceflight, he thought he knew what was going on over Petrozavodsk.
Oberg telephoned NASA's satellite tracking center to check whether the Soviets launched something from the top-secret cosmodrome in nearby Plesetsk. The response he received was interesting. There had been a launch at 3:58 a.m. on Sept. 20, he was told, just minutes before the Petrozavodsk UFO was sighted. It appears that the rigid compartmentalization of information in the Soviet Union prevented anyone in Russia from connecting the dots sooner.
Over the years, Oberg made a name for himself as a debunker of Soviet UFO reports, showing time and time again how UFO sightings corresponded with recorded launches of secret space hardware.
SpaceX
The re-entry of a SpaceX Falcon 9 booster in 2015. The rocket is firing its engine, creating an unusual visual pattern comparable to the one described by Soviet citizens in 1967.
One famous incident from nearly 50 years ago, however, remained stubbornly unexplainable.
On the evening of July 17, 1967, Soviet citizens from Ukraine to the Caucasus reported seeing a crescent-shaped object, accompanied by a dot of light, streaking across the night sky. Similar reports over the same regions surfaced on Sept. 19 and Oct. 18, and continued through the spring of 1968.
This incident was Zigel's big break, with his reports shooting him to prominence. On prime time television, he urged Soviet citizens to report sightings of strange phenomenon. His reports were translated for NASA and drew considerable attention from engineers and Western spy agencies.
But Oberg believes people were seeing something different that day. Something perhaps no less terrifying.
It was "the greatest UFO cover-up in history." Rather than alien landings, Oberg says, Soviet citizens had witnessed a test of a top-secret space weapon known as the Fractional Orbital Bombardment System (FOBS). Able to orbit the earth until Moscow told it which city to target, FOBS could then re-enter the atmosphere and maneuver to its target.
Oberg says this would have looked like an orange crescent — flames from the engine forming a bow-like wake as FOBS slid backwards into the atmosphere — accompanied by a bright dot representing the spacecraft itself.
Soviet authorities later acknowledged that a weapon matching the description of the FOBS existed, but there was no visual reference with which to compare it. This re-entry maneuver was unique in the history of space travel.
Until last year, that is.
Oberg was watching a livestream of the re-entry and landing of a SpaceX Falcon 9 booster when something clicked. The Falcon 9 was conducting that same unusual maneuver that Soviet FOBS weapons were understood to have made in 1967. And photos of the re-entry clearly showed an orange crescent accompanied by a bright dot.
And with that, Oberg says, the Soviet X-Files can finally be considered closed.
"The most amusing thing is that then I finally understood why the American spy agencies wanted to study UFO reports," he says. "It wasn't, as Western UFO enthusiasts thought, because the UFOs were from another planet, but just the opposite."
Every now and then, I am called on to answer some questions about UFO and aliens for radio shows, magazines, newspapers, and educational facilities. Here is one of my latest sessions.
1. Where are UFOs most sighted?
Although there are reports of UFOs worldwide, there are a few hotspots that seem to have more than their share. This varies from time to time, but the United States and Great Britain are the two countries that report more often, with Texas, California, Florida, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and New York being some of the American hotspots.
2. How often do people see UFOs?
Not a day goes by that there are not reports of UFOs, although most of these could be explained as conventional craft if all the details were known. Of all UFO reports, approximately 5% remain unexplained. On an average, there is a "major" UFO sighting monthly.
3. How fast can UFOs fly?
Although there is no known recording of the speed of a UFO, reports from pilots, policemen, etc., claim that they can go as fast as MACH 3.
Our planes flying at full speed are often reported being left behind by the speed of the UFOs.
4. Is it true that UFOs are crashing into earth?
There are many reports that claim UFOs have crashed, but because all of them are handled by governments of the world, actual proof is difficult to obtain. There are about five or so crashes that have documented eyewitness statements verifying the recovery of crashed UFO.
5. Where do UFOs come from?
No one can say for sure, but there are a couple of theories about their home bases. Some researchers believe that the UFOs travel from distant planets. Some believe that they are from another dimension, and others believe they have bases on Earth, in underground facilities or under the ocean.
6. Have you seen a real UFO with your own eyes? if yes, did you feel any unusual sensations?
I have never seen a UFO myself, but I have friends who have seen and photographed unknown flying objects. I have had several reports of eyewitnesses to UFOs that have felt the urge to go outside and look up into the sky, and then witnessed a UFO. Other witnesses have claimed to have physical ailments after a UFO encounter.
7. Can you tell me their size, shapes, rotation, and colors?
Almost anything you can imagine. Most of the reports are of a saucer or disc-shaped objects, normally of a shiny, metallic surface, and various colors of lights. In recent years, there are more reports of the triangular shaped UFOs, which are normally reported as black in color. These objects are reported to move in many, varied ways.
8. How long have you been working with UFOs?
I have been interested in UFOs for at least 4 decades, but have in the last ten years had the time and resources to study UFOs full time.
9. What sparked your interest in UFOs?
I was a young man in the 1950s, and I was exposed to many of the best Sci-Fi movies of that era - "The Day the Earth Stood Still," "Earth vs. the Flying Saucers," and also television programs such as the "Twilight Zone," the "Outer Limits," "One Step Beyond," etc. This brought many possibilities to my mind that there may be something to the UFO mystery.
10. How would you characterize your previous interest or attitude toward UFOs?
When I was young, I felt that the possibility that Earth was the only inhabited planet in the Universe was not accurate. As I grew older, I was exposed to more and more evidence from eyewitnesses of UFOs, along with photographic and video proof. This overwhelming evidence only validated what I thought when I was younger. I believe that we are getting closer to our government releasing information of UFOs, following recent disclosure by such countries as Great Britain and France.
11. Why have you concluded that the evidence is overwhelming that Earth is being visited by intelligently controlled extraterrestrial spacecraft?
There is just too much evidence - eyewitness accounts by sane, responsible individuals, pilots, policemen, and even scientists to deny the existence of UFOs. There is photographic and video evidence of unknown flying objects that has been verified by photographic experts.
12. Why don’t the aliens, if they are real, just land on earth and invade humans?
This is a question that is often asked, and there is no clear-cut answer. There are a number of theories, however. Some believe that the aliens don't want to interact with humans because they are far advanced intellectually. Some believe that on a small scale, aliens are already conversing with governments of the world, sharing their technology.
13. Why would saucers crash? (if they do)
Some have surmised that various electromagnetic effects can bring a UFO down. This could be from a lightning strike, which is one of the theories for the Roswell crash. Other malfunctions on the ship itself, just like a plane, can occur at any time. Nothing is perfect all the time.
14. Why is the government not telling what they know about UFOs?
There are certainly a number of reasons. One is that when a government controls information, they control the populace. There are also social, technological, religious, and commercial reasons. If the peoples of the world were told that our governments have been contacted by alien beings, there could be widespread social unrest and even panic.

Information on Area 51 and Roswell crash
Information on Area 51 and Roswell crash
Questions and Answers on Area 51, Roswell
U.S. Houses UFOs. B J Booth
Questions and Answers on Area 51, Roswell
The following interview is part of a project being conducted in Phoenix, Arizona, on Area 51 and the Roswell crash.
Question: What do you think about the possibility of theArea 51 conspiracy existing for the government's benefit? Our assertion is that UFOs or alien ships were the perfect smokescreen for the experimental military aircrafts that the government has disclosed were tested there.
I believe that our government uses the facility and others similar to it for several purposes, some of them top-secret or above. It is very obvious to me that with so much attention given to Area 51, many other bases operate freely with their projects. I am sure not all of these are top-secret, but at least some of them are.
We have little knowledge of what the government does. I am one of those who believe that there are some things that should be kept from the general public, but our curiosity is never ending on what is going on behind the scenes.
Many new technologies are being developed at government facilities. It probably true that most of these deal with military applications, but you better believe that there are things being dealt with that are beyond our imagination, like life forms from other worlds, and a possible future invasion.
Question: What exactly was found at Roswell and where was it sent? We believe it was a Soviet spy craft that crashed.
I have studied the Roswell case for some thirty years, and read most of what has been written about it, including a number of different theories; a government apparatus for monitoring Soviet radiation emissions, and the alleged Russian spy craft.
There is no doubt in my mind from the preponderance of eyewitness statements, and even government documents later released, that something not of this world crashed there. Are all of the eyewitness accounts accurate? No, but there are too many eyewitness reports that agree so closely, they all cannot simply be lies.
Many of the alleged UFO 'crashes' can be debunked, simply from the lack of evidence, and conflicting reports, but this is not true for the Roswell event. What do we do with over 500 witnesses, some claiming to have seen the alien bodies and the actual crashed vehicle?
Although occurring during a time when Americans were very frightened by the idea of a Soviet invasion, or an invasion from outer space, there would be little reason for the American government to go to such great lengths to cover-up the existence of a Russian spy craft.
Our country being monitored by the Russians at this time is something that many believed to be true to start with, but our airspace being invaded by an alien race; that's a totally different subject, and one that the US government would have covered up at any and all costs.
Question: What has been studied at Area 51 and why has it been kept so secret? We have no idea.
Well, we know for sure that Stealth technology has been studied there for decades. That became apparent during the Gulf wars. This is also a perfect example of how well a project can be kept secret. Remember 'Fat Man' and 'Little Boy?'
There can be little doubt from statements of retired workers that unusual things are being dealt with at Area 51. Why would a base of such size exist in such an isolated, well protected area?
Could all of this be to cover-up the study and experimentation on military projects, something that everyone already knows about to begin with? I think not. This type of work is being done at a number of military bases already.
Somewhere studies and experiments are being done on alien vehicles; their technology, propulsion systems, structural materials, and possibly cloaking devices. What better place than Area 51.
What is discovered in this area involves a great stretch in our own technological advancement. This experimentation leads to discoveries of here-to-fore unknown processes, which may be for our own planet's defense, and intellectual advancement of mankind.

Russian UFO Crash, 1989
Russian UFO Crash, 1989
Russian UFO Crash 1969. TNT.com
Unknown Object Appears Over Russia:
An unsubstantiated UFO case comes to us from Russia. According to the reports, not far from the city of Prohlandnyi at 1:00 AM, on August 10, 1989, Soviet military radar units picked up an unidentified flying object. An attempt was made to contact the craft, without success. The UFO was classified as "hostile." Russian defenses were put on alert, and Mig-25s were put in the air to find and identify the UFO.
A Russian Roswell?:
The Migs were given the authority to use weapons if necessary. When the UFO refused to answer hails, the Migs fired, hitting the UFO. It soon ditched over the Caucasian Mountains, and a search and retrieval team was dispatched. A crew aboard an M1-8 located the disc-shaped UFO outside of Nizhnizy Chegem. The area was completely cordoned off to everyone except military personnel. The case has a similar ring to America's Roswell crash of 1947.
The Object is Examined:
According to reports, the object was about 20 feet long and 10 feet tall, shaped like a long cigar.
There was a long rutted out place in the ground where the object had obviously skidded as it plowed to a stop. There was obvious damage to the exterior of the craft. The retrieval team, wearing protective outer wear, moved to the site. There was a small amount of radiation, and some members of the team were effected.
Object Moved by Helicopter:
A helicopter on the scene was hooked up to the craft, and the UFO was transported to Mozdok Air Base. The base was rumored to store nuclear weapons, and long range bombers. Another investigative team was sent to Mozdok to begin a scientific analysis of the UFO. A KGB cover-up was in full operation by this time. How information was leaked about the case has not been discovered.
Entering the UFO:
Allegedly, there was already an open door in the UFO, caused by its crash. Team members entered the craft, and began their investigation. There were many items found that one would expect-instrument panels, electronic switches and monitors. Also found were three alien bodies-two dead, one barely alive. It appeared that the two aliens were killed by equipment falling on them from above.
Description of the Aliens:
A team of doctors and other medical personnel made every effort to keep the alien alive, but failed. All three of the beings were about 3 1/2 to 4 feet tall, with gray outer wear. Underneath, their skin was a blue-green color with a reptilian texture. They had no hair, large black eyes covered with a protective lid, and web fingers ended their long, slender arms.
Top-Secret Facility:
According to reports, the alien bodies were being kept in glass containers in a top-secret facility. The crashed UFO was taken to the Kapustin Yar range. The information contained in this report originated from three Russian investigators-Anton Anfalov, Lenura Azizova and Alexander Mosolov.
More Information Needed:
The problem with this case is that there has been no information supplied on who the three men represent, and nothing about their character or background, and their source for the information. With only the small group of three men supplying all of the information, and no documentation or other evidence to support their claims, the case of the Russian crash and retrieval of 1989 must remain in the area of folklore.
Marine Corps Lance Corporal John Weygandt, who was part of the Disclosure Project, was sent to Peru in March 1997, to provide perimeter security for a radar installation that he was told tracked drug traffic aircraft. He states, “About midnight, while I was on guard duty, Sergeant Allen and Sergeant Atkinson told me, an aircraft crashed and they need us to go and secure the crash site.”
Early that morning we drove six Hummers close to the crash site just when it started to get light. We found the area real easy because there was a huge gash in the land where something had crashed. Everything was burned and it was like something had almost cut warm butter with a knife.
It was like something on fire or had some kind of energy like a laser had cut it. It was really strange.
Investigation Begins
I was in the front with my sergeants ten meters ahead of everyone else. We were the first ones to see this thing. It had gone up the hill and then off in the side of the ravine and ridge. This was a 200-foot ridge, of solid rock. A huge craft was buried at a 45 degree angle in the side of the cliff there at the ridge. It was straight up and down. The craft was dripping a greenish-purple syrup-like liquid everywhere that fluctuated like it was alive and changing to a different shade of greenish purple.
The craft was humming like a bass guitar and had a slowly turning light. Most of the craft seemed buried into the cliff but vents, like a fish gill were on the back. The liquid got on my clothes and ate holes in them and burned off some the hair on my arms. There were three holes in the ship that may have been hatches that were not flush with the main body of the craft.
Bizarre Description
There was another hatch that was kind of crooked to the side and half open. I felt this strange presence and I think the creatures calmed me and were trying to communicate with me telepathically. The Corporal estimated the craft was about 20 meters in length (66 feet) and ten meters (33 feet) in width and shaped like an egg or teardrop.
The skin of the craft had bumps and notches and appendages on it. It was really organic and almost like art. It looked like something that could be made in a shop with handmade materials. It looked like metal but there was no reflection and was nothing like titanium. The sun was shining on it and I could see the different shades of the craft. Suddenly the Sergeants were yelling at me to get the hell out of there. After we climbed back up, the Department of Energy people were there.
Department of Energy Takes Over
They knew about it so I don’t know why we went there. I was arrested and cuffed with both hands down and all my gear was taken from me by men in black camouflage uniforms who threatened me and subdued me. At the crash site there were thirty guys wearing hazard suits. I had been told aircraft were flying in and out of the atmosphere at mach ten plus. When you have objects that reenter the atmosphere and then stop on a dime and turn around it is obvious this craft are not from Earth. I knew that when I looked at it.
I wondered if those facilities were built to track UFOs with radar and their cover was to track drug aircraft. They had laser range finders and all kinds of high tech stuff that I have never seen before and can’t explain. The laser range finders looked like big telescopes. There was a Command Center manned by a multi-national force including Chinese and I think Germans.
Lethal Force Against Aliens
So these craft were tracked from this particular radar and had been hit by some weapons and had been taken out. Editor’s Note: I spoke with Corporal Weygandt who described a craft damaged by enemy action, either ours or an opposing alien force. He thought there may be a missile site that was set up in Peru. His testimony on Page 274 of “Disclosure: Witnesses Reveal the Greatest Secrets” by Steven Greer M.D. indicates lethal deadly force was being used against alien intruders during the Clinton Administration. We can assume this war continues.
But an atypical year is coming very soon if Calvin astronomy professor Larry Molnar’s calculations are correct. Molnar is predicting that a star he is monitoring will explode between 2018 and 2020; a comparable prediction has never been made.
Larry Molnar, professor of astronomy at Calvin College Noah PreFountaine
“It’s a one-in-a-million chance that you can predict an explosion,” Molnar said of his bold prognostication. “It’s never been done before.”
The star known as KIC 9832227 came to Molnar’s attention in 2013. He was attending an astronomy conference when astronomer Karen Kinemuchi presented her study of the brightness changes of the star, which concluded with a question: Is it pulsing or is it a binary (two stars orbiting each other)?
Also present at the conference was then-student Daniel Van Noord ’14, Molnar’s research assistant. He took the question as a personal challenge and made some observations of the star with the Calvin observatory.
“He looked at how the color of the star correlated with brightness and determined it was definitely binary,” said Molnar. “In fact, he discovered it was actually a contact binary, in which the two stars share a common atmosphere, like two peanuts sharing a single shell.
“From there Dan figured out the orbital period from Kinemuchi’s data and was surprised to discover that the period was not the same as earlier data showed; it was getting shorter,” Molnar continued.
FURTHER EXPLORATION
Based on that discovery, Molnar and Van Noord wanted to explore further, so they continued to monitor the orbital period using the Calvin observatory. “We found the period getting even shorter at a faster rate,” said Molnar. They surmised that they might be seeing the merger of two stars, a process that can culminate in a kind of stellar explosion known as a Red Nova.
Nobody has ever predicted a nova explosion before. It’s been done at Calvin with a small telescope, one professor and a few students looking for something that is not likely.
LARRY MOLNAR, PROFESSOR OF ASTRONOMY
“It was really exciting to find something like this,” said Van Noord, who came to Calvin because of his interest in studying variable stars. While here he developed a now-internationally used computer program that discovers binary stars in archived data. “It’s proof that the method of research we use at Calvin works.”
The team also took cues from an article by astronomer Romuald Tylenda, who had studied the observational archives to see how another star (V1309 Scorpii) had behaved before it exploded unexpectedly and produced a red nova in 2008. The pre-explosion record of that star is the “Rosetta stone” that Molnar is using to interpret the new data.
“I remember thinking that if I ever see one [a trajectory] that looks like that, I better pay close attention,” said Molnar.
A red nova explosion Space Telescope Science Institute
THE NEXT STEP
While the new star seemed to be following Tylenda’s model, other models and explanations had to be eliminated. This next step of research was taken by Calvin student Cara Alexander.
“We had to rule out the possibility of a third star,” said Alexander. “That would have been a pedestrian, boring explanation. I was processing data from two telescopes and obtained images that showed a signature of our star and no sign of a third star. Then we knew we were looking at the right thing.
“It took most of the summer to analyze the data, but it was so exciting. To be a part of this research, I don’t know any other place where I would get an opportunity like that; Calvin is an amazing place.”
Jason Smolinski, a Calvin professor collaborating on the project, said the research will produce results such that astronomers have never had before. “Any time stellar explosions are seen, it’s always after the fact,” he said. “That’s interesting, but you always wonder what was there beforehand? For us to be able to study this type of merger in great detail across the entire spectrum is remarkable,” he said.
Being a Christian astronomer gives you so much more wonder, it gives you so much more appreciation knowing that it was handcrafted–it was made by the hand of God.
CARA ALEXANDER, '16
And Molnar is convinced Calvin is exactly the right place for a discovery of this magnitude.
“Most big scientific projects are done in enormous groups with thousands of people and billions of dollars,” he said. “This project is just the opposite. It’s been done using a small telescope, with one professor and a few students looking for something that is not likely.
“Nobody has ever predicted a nova explosion before. Why pay someone to do something that almost certainly won’t succeed? It’s a high-risk proposal. But at Calvin it’s only my risk, and I can use my work on interesting, open-ended questions to bring extra excitement into my classroom. Some projects still have an advantage when you don’t have as much time or money.”
“Being at Calvin gives you the freedom to explore,” added Alexander. “At large institutions you often study what you can get grants for instead of what needs to be studied.”
And it makes you more awestruck.
LUMINOUS SHEDS LIGHT ON RED NOVA RESEARCH
While Larry Molnar’s discovery is rare and atypical, the opportunity to document the finding along the way is an exceptional opportunity in its own right.
That’s why Sam Smartt, Calvin professor of communication arts and sciences, agreed to partner with Molnar to chronicle the process.
“I felt like it was a little gem of story here in our backyard,” said Smartt, who is a documentary film producer.
Smartt and others in his film production crew, including Kemp Lyons, Calvin’s video producer, and student Daniel Baas, have logged about 60 hours of filming. Smartt’s Intermediate Filmmaking class helped in the production of a trailer and a few short films this fall.
“I felt like we had to jump on it right away during the period of uncertainty—will it or won’t it explode?” said Smartt. “That’s what makes it interesting.”
The full documentary, which will continue to chronicle the research, will likely be finished a few years after the predicted explosion.
Luminous will focus on the nature of scientific discovery, the development of undergraduate researchers and the power of “small science.”
“Big science is multimillion dollar funding with a lot of people working on big projects,” said Smartt. “Small science is a small telescope with just a few people looking at one thing for a very long time. You wouldn’t think that a small liberal arts college with no graduate students and only an astronomy minor would have a story like this. It’s kind of an underdog story.”
SO MUCH WONDER
“Being a Christian astronomer gives you so much more wonder,” she said. “It gives you so much more appreciation knowing that it was handcrafted—it was made by the hand of God. Secular institutions take the appreciation of the glory out of it. From the huge vastness to the tiniest of details, Calvin professors help you see it. They help you see God through it.”
With the star still following the model, Molnar is predicting the explosion will occur in about three to five years, at which time the star will increase its brightness ten thousand fold.
“If Larry’s prediction is correct, his project will demonstrate for the first time that astronomers can catch certain binary stars in the act of dying, and that they can track the last few years of a stellar death spiral up to the point of final, dramatic explosion,” said Matt Walhout, chair of Calvin’s physics and astronomy department.
Knowing God better is one of the things we seek to do.
LARRY MOLNAR
“The project is significant not only because of the scientific results, but also because it is likely to capture the imagination of people on the street,” he added. “If the prediction is correct, then for the first time in history, parents will be able to point to a dark spot in the sky and say, ‘Watch, kids, there’s a star hiding in there, but soon it’s going to light up.’”
Indeed, the explosion will catch the attention of scientists, media and ordinary people across the globe.
The outcome, one of the brighter stars in the heavens for a time, will be visible as part of the constellation Cygnus, and will add a star to the recognizable Northern Cross star pattern.
Molnar, who is now as certain of his prediction as science allows, believes whatever happens, “the answer will be interesting.”
“Knowing God better is one of the things we seek to do,” he said. “One of the ways to do that is to explore this amazing universe. The Psalmist says, ‘the heavens declare the glory of God,’” said Molnar. “If you’re not listening you’re missing that message.”
ET hunters expand search for life to include 20,000 star systems thought to contain two-sided worlds split between constant darkness and permanent sunshine
Light and dark: Could aliens lurk in the Goldilocks Zone of weird planets orbiting a red dwarf?
The SETI Institute has claimed intelligent alien civilisations could survive on strange "heaven and hell" planets once thought to be totally uninhabitable.
Extraterrestrial hunters have expanded their search for life to include 20,000 red dwarf stars - the dim suns which are thought to create these weird worlds.
Red dwarfs have a much smaller "habitable zone" than our own sun, which means any planet capable of supporting life would have to orbit it at very close proximity.
These planets quickly become "tidally locked" so that one hemisphere constantly faces the star, leaving one side of the world to shiver in constant, freezing darkness whilst the other is scorched by permanent sunlight.
It was thought both sides of these grim planets would be too hostile for life to survive.
But recent research has indicated that a temperate area known as a Goldilocks zone could form between the two faces, allowing intelligent organisms to thrive.
Heaven and hell: An artist's impression of the planetary system around the red dwarf Gliese 581
"If these worlds have oceans and atmospheres, heat would be transported from the lit side to the dark, and a significant fraction of the planet would be habitable," the SETI Institute wrote .
Due to the strange properties of these planets, ET detectives have tended to ignore red dwarves.
Yet they have several key properties which make them very exciting to alien hunters.
Up to half of all red dwarf stars are thought to host an planet in the "habitable zone" in which life could thrive.
It is also believed that every single red dwarf which has ever been born is still shining, because their lifespan is longer than the entire universe has been in existence.

The Allen Telescope Array, a radio interferometer that is dedicated to astronomical observations and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence
Red dwarfs burn for much longer than stars like our own sun, giving intelligent life more time to evolve.
“This may be one instance in which older is better,” said SETI Institute astronomerSeth Shostak .
The SETI Institute will now use the Allen Telescope Array to look at 20,000 red dwarf stars over the next two years and search for "magic frequencies", which are the radio transmissions likely to be sent out by aliens.
“Red dwarfs – the dim bulbs of the cosmos – have received scant attention by SETI scientists in the past,” added SETI engineer Jon Richards .
"That’s because researchers made the seemingly reasonable assumption that other intelligent species would be on planets orbiting stars similar to the Sun."

Hillary Clinton and UFOs
HillaryClinton with Laurance Rockefeller at the JY Ranch, Jackson, Wyoming, She is carrying an interesting book. Laurance allegedly briefed the President and his wife about UFOs.During the August 1995 ranch visit, Mrs. Clinton was photographed alone and deep in conversation with the philanthropist, then 85, and clutching a copy of a book by Paul Davies called Are We Alone: Philosophical Implications of the Discovery of Extra-terrestrial Life.
It took some time but researcher Tonio Cousyn was able to determine the book Hillary is carrying is “Are We Alone?” by Paul Davies that speculates the possible existence of extraterrestrial life. Is that walking behind them a gray?
A woman who claimed to be Hillary Clinton’s secretary called and told me Hillary is very interested in UFOs and enjoys reading Filer’s Files. I did send the files to the White House and Senators but do not know if they were read. During a recent interview Hillary claims she would release government information on UFOs and get to the bottom of the phenomena.
Hillary Clinton stated in Council Bluffs Iowa, December 17, 2007, “Remember that movie “Independence Day,” where invaders were coming from outer space and the whole world was united against the invasion? Why can’t we be united on behalf of our planet? And that’s what I want to do.”
Toronto [ZNN] In another bold move adding to her latest series of commentaries on the UFO issue, Hillary Clinton appeared on ABC’s acclaimed Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday. Clinton made this revelation in an interview with Jimmy Kimmel that is watched by an average of 2.43 million people – the top Democratic candidate for the US Presidency talk about UFOs – is indeed non-trivial.
Here is what transpired on Jimmy Kimmel Live on March 24, 2016 as over 2 million viewers looked on. Kimmel said: “When we had your husband, President Clinton, on this show [in 2014], I asked him about UFOs and Area 51,” Kimmel reminded Clinton. “If I was president, that’s the first thing I’d do. I’d go right into those files and see what was going on. And he said that he did do that, and that he didn’t find anything.” Clinton offered this provocative response: “Yes…well, I’m going to do it, again. And you know, there’s a new name,” Clinton added. “It’s unexplained aerial phenomenon — UAP — that’s the latest nomenclature.” (The Weekly Standard)

Super Bowl Champions Close Encounter in New Jersey 2005
NFL star Aaron Rodgers has detailed his close encounter of the third kind. The Green Bay Packers quarterback revealed on Pete Holmes’ You Made It Weird podcast that he and former University of California teammate Steve Levy spotted a flying saucer while in New Jersey back in 2005. “It was a large orange, left-to-right-moving object,” Rodgers said.
“Because of the overcast nature of the night and the snow, you couldn’t make out — it was kind of behind the clouds we were seeing, but it was definitively large, moving from left to right. “It was me, Steve [Levy] and his brother that saw it. And it goes out of sight and welook at each other and go: ‘What in the world was that?’” If Rodgers had left it there, that would be fine. He’d join a long list of celebrities who’ve purportedly had their own UFO sightings. But, Rodgers went full conspiracy theorist on us, breaking down the circumstantial evidence that proves this was a paranormal event. According to Rodgers, he then heard fighter jets along with the alarm. “Now, if you know anything about UFO sightings or you’ve done research, you know that a lot of times two things are connected to UFO sightings,” said the two-time MVP and Super Bowl champion. “One is the presence of fighter jets. And two, there is a lot of sightings around nuclear power plants. So to tie it all together, the alarm we heard from 30 miles out was a nuclear power plant that had an alarm that went off.” To Rodgers’ credit, a Google search for “UFOs nuclear power plants” returns about half-a-million results. Back in January of 2015, the director of a French nuclear power plant reportedly said that a UFO had visited the facility. Thanks to Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldUFOphotos.org
Selected by Extraterrestrials
Bill Tompkins was embedded in the world of secrecy as a teenager, when the Navy took his personal ship models out of a Hollywood department store because they showed the classified locations of the radars and gun emplacements. He was personally present at the “Battle of L.A.” when a thousand rounds of ammo were fired at UFOs, and one of the Nordic craft may have selected him to be their rep in the evolving aerospace race. This book is a partial autobiography about his life to the beginning of the 1970s including some of his early work for TRW. Selected by the Navy prior to completing high school to be authorized for research work, he regularly visited classified Naval facilities during WWII until he was discharged in 1946.
After working at North American Aviation and Northrop, he was hired by Douglas Aircraft Company in 1950, and when they found out about his involvement in classified work, was given a job as a to create design solutions as a draftsman with a peripheral assignment to work in a “think tank”. This work was partly controlled by the Navy personnel who used to work for James Forrestal, who was allegedly assassinated because he was going to publicly reveal what he knew about UFOs. Bill Tompkins was asked to conceive sketches of mile-long Naval interplanetary craft designs.
Later, as he became involved in the conventional aspects of the Saturn Program that later became the Apollo launch vehicle, his insight to system engineering resulted in his offering some critical suggestions personally to Dr. Wernher von Braun about ensuring more reliable checkout using the missiles in their vertical position and also some very efficient launch control concepts adopted by both NASA and the Air Force. This story is peppered with very personal interactions with his co-workers and secretaries, some of whom the author believes to be Nordic aliens helping the “good guys” here on Earth.
Towards the end of this volume of his autobiography, he sketches what he personally saw on TV when Armstrong was landing on the moon. Born in May 1923, Bill Tompkins is one of the few survivors of the “big war” who is still healthy, married to the same girl Mary, and is willing to tell his story about what he really did during his aerospace life in the 40s, 50s and 60s that relate to aliens, NASA and secrets that now can be told.
Technological programs and covert space travel think tank participation detailed in the Tompkins book have been validated by Dr. Bob Wood utilizing some (40) key documents provided by Tompkins to Wood, in addition to his hi tech knowledge Wood had directed access to while at McDonnell Douglas during his (43) year career. Also, know that the documentation held by Tompkins hasn’t yet been exhausted as both Dr. Wood and Tompkins have explained to me – there are many, many more documents yet to become public.

Journey Around the Milky Way
Astronomers focusing on a star at the center of the Milky Way say they have measured precisely for the first time how long it takes the sun to circle its home galaxy: 226 million years. The last time the sun was at this exact spot of its galactic orbit, dinosaurs ruled the world.
Using a radio telescope system that measures celestial distances 500 times more accurately than the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers plotted the motion of the Milky Way and found that the sun and its family of planets were orbiting the galaxy at about 135 miles per second. That means it takes the solar system about 226 million years to orbit the Milky Way and puts the most precise value ever determined on one of the fundamental motions of the Earth and its sun, said James Moran of Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass.
A report on the finding was presented Tuesday at a national meeting of the American Astronomical Society.
“Our new figure of 226 million miles is accurate to within 6 percent,” Mark Reid, a Harvard-Smithsonian astronomer and leader of the team that made the measurements, said in a statement. The sun is one of about 100 billion stars in the Milky Way, one of billions of ordinary galaxies in the universe. The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy, with curving arms of stars pin wheeling out from a center. The solar system is about halfway out on one of these arms and is about 26,000 light years from the center. A light year is about 6 trillion miles.
Reid and his team made the measurement using the Very Long Baseline Array, a system of 10 large radio-telescope antennae placed 5,000 miles across the United States, from the U.S. Virgin Islands to Hawaii. Working together as a single unit, the antennae can measure motions in the distant universe with unprecedented accuracy. The accuracy is such that the VLBA can look at a bit of sky that has an apparent size one ten- thousandth the diameter of a human hair held at arm’s length. For their solar system measurement, the astronomers focused on Sagittarius A, a star discovered two decades ago to mark the Milky Way’s center. Over a 10-day period, they measured the apparent shift in position of the star against the background of stars far beyond.
The apparent motion of Sagittarius A is very, very small, just one-600,000th of what could be detected with the human eye, the astronomers said. Reid said the measurement adds supports to the idea that the Milky Way’s center contains a supermassive black hole. “This … strengthens the idea that this object, much smaller than our own solar system, contains a black hole about 2.6 million times more massive than the sun,” Reid said in a statement. Moran said the new measurement of the solar system orbit adds new accuracy to a fundamental fact of the universe: Everything is moving constantly. The Earth rotates on its axis at about 1,100 miles an hour, a motion that creates day and night. The Earth orbits the sun at about 67,000 miles an hour, a motion that takes one year. The sun circles the Milky Way at a speed of about 486,000 miles per hour. In addition, every object in the universe is moving apart from the other objects as the universe expands at a constantly accelerating rate. Thanks to Paul Recer Thanks to MUFON CMS
Jupiter Hit by Meteorites
Several large meteorites struck Jupiter on March 17, 2016, and an amateur astronomer captured the videos. In the negative photos below, you can make out the shape of the object, which is not what you would expect. The meteorites are albeit the size of our moon and would be considered an ELE, extinction level event if it had hit earth. It could happen this afternoon, tomorrow or on your birthday and NASA would unlikely been able to stop them. That is how helpless earth is in this solar system. Scott C. Waring Website
Cyber Attacks and North Korea
Regarding the recent North Korean rocket launch, it demonstrated that they could get a good-sized nuclear payload into orbit– around 400 to 500 pounds, which is equivalent to one of their smaller nuclear weapons. This is worrying, as it shows they could potentially deliver a nuclear weapon anywhere on the globe, he noted. At this point, North Korean nuclear weapons are less adept at producing EMP pulses, and designed more for a classic blast effect and radiation, he pointed out. “North Korea kind of reminds of that song Still Crazy After All These Years,” with Kim Jong Un even more of a loose cannon than his father, Smith remarked. Read the full recap here.
The Abductee Who Fought Back
My name is Jacob Andrew Turner. I have been holding in this information for some time now I have just been too paralyzed with fear to say something. Due to recent changes in my life, I’ve decided to disclose this information. My abduction stories begin around the age of eight. It all started when I was sitting outside my relative’s house on the porch when I saw a very distant light glaring just beyond a hill. As the night went on, I noticed it was getting brighter and before I knew, it was extremely close to me. So like any other curious child of my age I began to move myself towards it. The closer I got to the stand still glaring light illuminating over the trees the more I felt pulled in like as if it had its own gravitational pull. Once I came within sight of the light I realized it wasn’t just a light but a ship like figure hovering above the ground.
Fearful I didn’t know whether to turn back or approach closer to what it was. Before being able, to make a decision it seems to pull me closer against my will as if my body was temporarily paralyzed. Then I remembered coming in and out of scenes where I was laying across some type of table or thin like bed incompatible of moving myself. Some of these memories included seeing tall like figures with dark suits they’re skin was slight lighter than what they’re attire. They look to have hair but I was unsure. It seems like moments later I woke up exactly where I had first recognized the craft. Feeling weird from all of it, I decided to keep it to myself under the thought no one believe me. At 8 years of age, I felt people would say I wanted attention. I feel at the age I am now (20) I feel like it would be more creditable because I’m not a child. I have held this information to myself for quite some time and I’m ready to let others know what I saw. Thanks to UFOINFO
John’s Letter Says We Have Been Duped
John writes, “For 20 years I believed in alien life on other planets, I witnessed a UFO myself hovering over a chemical plant in 1999 and went to a talk by Colonel Holt about his UFO experience in Suffolk.” I am also a Christian believer for the same period and have had plenty experience of the Holy Spirit in my life.
I believe in the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Medjugorje (shown) etc. “The Father has placed me on this mission of being a Messenger between God and man”.
Mary appeared to the visionary Veronica at Bayside USA between 1970-1994 and among subjects covered were UFO’s. A couple of quotes “UFO’s as you call them are used by SATAN and other demons from hell as transports to confuse and confound mankind into thinking there is alien life in the universe the only creation of the Father has been given in the book of love and life” (bible).
We are now living through the Book of Revelations, these are the end times, “in this final battle because of the sins of mankind there are many agents of hell now loose on the earth”. There is our natural world and the supernatural Heaven, Hell and Purgatory.
The Devil knows his time is now short and so when the Christian church is RUPTURED, news media’s will report to those left behind that a mass UFO abduction has occurred to explain the disappearance of these people, covering up the Divine Act from you. In addition, as in surveys at least half those surveyed believe in alien life, abductions etc thanks to the UFO phenomenon most will probably accept this explanation.
This and other subjects covering the end times can be found under directives on the shrine websiteWebsite the Warning, Great Miracle and Chastisements to come. As ever in this spiritual battle prayer is key, please do not let the evil one fool humankind. Regards John johndeegan60@yahoo.co.uk
Note: J Allen Hynek, John Keel and others have suggested the alien called Satan described in the Bible is responsible for the UFO phenomena.
Ruins of a City Found in Antarctica?
A California TV crew missing since November 2002, a video they left behind and a mission by U.S. Navy SEALs are the key elements in a story that claims extensive ancient ruins have been found under the ice of Antarctica. A spokesman for the company is reported to have said at the time that “The U.S. government said it will seek to block the airing of a video found by Navy rescuers in Antarctica that purportedly reveals that a massive archaeological dig is underway two miles (3,200 meters) beneath the ice.” “The AtlantisTV production crew that shot the video is still missing.” Attorneys for the Beverly Hills-based AtlantisTV stressed at the time that the company’s primary concern was for the safety and welfare of the crew. But they stated they would vigorously oppose any attempts to censor material that is clearly in the public interest and public domain. The icy continent of Antarctica, they pointed out, belongs to no nation. The U.S. has no jurisdiction there.”
“That video is the property of AtlantisTV, said a company spokesman, We shot it. It’s ours. And as soon as it is rightfully restored to us, were going to air it. End of story.”
WATCHED BY NAVY OFFICERS
“Two Navy officers who saw the tape described its contents to National Science Foundation (NSF) researchers upon their return to the Amundsen-Scott Station at the South Pole. So reported sources at McMurdo Station, the main American base in Antarctica.” They said it showed spectacular ruins and other things they couldn’t go into, an NSF scientist reported. “We chalked it up to some kind of subzero-induced delusion,” he said, “until a helicopter full of Navy SEALs landed and picked them up and took off. Now, were scratching our heads.” Officials of the U.S. Naval Support Task Force in Antarctica predictably denied the story or the possession of any video shot by the missing AtlantisTV crew.
Navy sources said they found the video in an abandoned supply dump 100 miles (160 kilometers) west of Vokstok Station. Thanks to Archaeology News Flash. Note: Researchers have claimed the German military built a base in Anartica at the end of World War II that included UFOs.

ADMISSION: $45, full day. Advance order for prime seating and to reserve dinner buffet:
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 # 14 2016 – Hillary Clinton and UFOs - PART II
Sightings in the United States
Arizona Lights
Phoenix — I have attached photos that I took last April. I don’t know if the lights are individual beings, ships or whatever. It could be the lights of a very large mother ship.
First there were three lights and then there were four. It was as if they knew that I would point at them and they were posing for me. I took a hundred photos, but only one had this phenomenon. Thanks to MUFON CMS
California Lights
Costa Mesa — Sitting in my hot tub at 9:45 pm, on March 26, 2016, I saw the glow of a V shaped object. One light was at the tip with the other two close to each other in rear of the V. It was odd and dim with no flashing lights or front directional lights for traffic. As it past, I lost sight of it. I was blown away as it was like the Phoenix LIGHTS AGAIN in California. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Colorado Disc
Parker — My teenage son took this photo on his way home last year on April 19, 2016. We live on a dirt road away from city lights. I am not sure of the exact date, but he ran in the house and showed me the photo. At first, I told him it was a plane. Then I thought drone, but I have looked at photos of drones and cannot find one to match.
I enlarged the photo as best I could to see any details. It looks like there are large light panels on it and it was too low to be a satellite? Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Orb
Port Saint Lucien – On March 5, 2016, I was walking my dogs in the parks of Tradition Square on a beautiful sunny afternoon. I noticed a big black cloud near the sun that was a very interesting site. I stopped to take a picture with my phone, and noticed what appeared to be a glowing sphere with some type of triangle shape inside the glowing sphere. Some spotlights were attached to the corners of the geometric object. This unidentified object was not moving at all and while positioning my phone to take another picture this object was gone!
I feel like during and after this experience, I had lost track of time. Maybe as if, I am in a different time zone, or living a “timeless” life. I feel that it was not a coincidence; I feel this object was of a higher intelligent order and it wanted to be seen. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Indiana Cylinder
Greenwood – I was in the back seat of a car on our way home on March 29, 2016. I was just looking out the window and saw what at first I thought it was an airplane. When the car came to a stop and noticed it wasn’t moving and had no wings.
It was cigar shaped and was white and stood still. At first I wasn’t worried but then I was very interested when I saw what it really was. I stopped watching it. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Kansas Disc
Canton — My friend and I had gone to the Maxwell Wildlife Preserve to see their Buffalo herd on March 19, 2016. As we rode around the site in an open trailer observing buffalo, I took a number of pictures with my Nikon D40 digital camera (ISO 200). In the center of the sky picture is an opaque object that appears to be partially shaded from the sun. The object was NOT visible to the naked eye. I’m a MUFON Field Investigator (#19371) so I submitted it to Dr. Bruce Maccabee, photo analyst for MUFON, and requested his analysis. In response, he wrote, “Looks as if it might be an opaque object with a glint (reflection) from the right side. Difference in brightness of the glint as compared to the dark (not illuminated by the sun) left side seems too great to be a reflection from a bird. Unfortunately, the image is too “diffuse” to get an idea of the exact shape. Can’t do much with “surprise” image reports such as this because no info on flight dynamics. May be worth a report anyway on the off chance that someone else might have seen it and filed a report.” Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS
Massachusetts Triangles
South Hadley — Driving towards the Village Commons in on March 29, 2016, my friend and I could see two bright lights in the sky. They were just sitting in the same spot for a very long time. We could see them about a half a mile away. It looked as though the UFO was now over us and the two lights turned into three very bright lights. I could see the three very bright lights in a triangle shape. It looked very low and gigantic. It started to move very fast and get far away. My friend found it again on 202 in South Hadley and followed it to Chicopee. NOTE: The above image is CGI. Thanks to Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ Website
New Jersey Craft
Little Egg Harbor — My husband and myself were sleeping in our bedroom. I woke up and saw this creature standing next to my husband. it was dark with just enough light coming in so i could see it. I immediately knew it was not something human. The first thing that came to my mind was it was an alien. The creature was about 4 foot tall and I could only see it’s head because it was standing on the other side of the bed next to my husband’s head. It had a large head, large eyes and i believe it was grey in color. It did not move at all just stood there. I sat up and tried to warn my husband to get away from it. I tried to shake him and tried to yell. I couldn’t move, couldn’t speak. Then there was a bright light outside, the whole area was lit up like daylight, and my husband was outside, floating limply, up into the sky. He looked like he was still sleeping. I really don’t know how long he was gone. I’m assuming it put me back to sleep because i have no memory of what happened next until I woke u p later in the night and my husband was there sleeping again. I was really scared and crying. I woke him up and he had no memory of this.
A couple of weeks later, he woke up with this wound on his arm in the morning. He saw it on his arm when he looked in the bathroom mirror when he first got up and he showed it to me. He said there was no pain. It was not there when he went to sleep the night before. I took a picture of it right away. As you can see it’s a row of puncture wounds. He does not have any memory of this happening to him either. I was telling this to a friend of ours and he suggested I tell you. So here I am. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New York Disc
New York — It slowly hummed over head going into a shadow of darkness on August 26, 2016. It was definitely not ours and we have never been alone. Lets not rise to the debunkers they are not worth the effort as aliens are real.
We need to give no credence to recognize debunkers. We have all the evidence.
We also need to professionally certificate sincere claims. The truth is everywhere. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Rhode Island Orb
Portsmouth— I borrowed my friend’s Cannon DLSR to take pictures of the dark clouds moving in shortly after alerts of a violent storm approaching on March 17, 2016. I took a picture of the shoreline, clearly showing a brick building. I looked away from the camera and noticed a hovering dot at about 60 degrees off the horizon, northwest of the previous picture. I aimed the camera at the object using a 70-300mm lens. I zoomed in and still could only see a dot, so I snapped the picture. All a sudden before I could take another, it flew at a high rate of speed in a southwest direction. I used the camera to zoom in on the dot of light that looked like a boat in the sky with dots of light around it. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Cylinder
El Paso— Myself and some friends were four wheeling in the Oro Grande Mountains near the military site on March 1, 2016. Once we reached the top of the mountain I took several pictures and didn’t realize I had captured this UFO until later on at night.
We did not see anything in the sky or hear anything.
It was dead silent when I took the pictures. I just happen to take this one pic at just the right time. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Virginia Triangle
Alexandria— On March 26, 2016- I was exiting the Huntington Metro Garage when I glanced up and saw a strange silver/grey object hovering off in the distance. I could not tell its exact size but it was large and stationary. The top of the object was reflecting sunlight or radiated its own light. As I was watching the item, a couple came up to me and said, “They had first spotted the object form the metro train as they came into Eisenhower station. The wife stated that her husband did not see any type of tether and ask me did I see one. I saw the attachment just under its “nose”. It was slightly curve and reddish in color. I took out my cell phone and took a couple of pictures. I then drove five minutes towards Huntington Park, but lost sight of the object. The pictures are nice and clear but the object too far away for the phone to get a better picture. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Wisconsin Light
Dresser — I was heading northeast on County Road F towards three miles from Trollhaugen Ski Resort. I stopped to take pictures in the past of the landscape and in the photos; you can see white balls of light. I am drawn to these places and very nervous about them. It was around 9 pm, towards the end of summer.
I had just gotten off from work and was heading out to pick up my children from my parent’s home. I had never before seen lights, crafts, or anything strange before this. But, I have always dedicated enormous amounts of time into learning about strange phenomena.
I live right next to a small local airport so I see and hear all sorts of aircraft all day. The sighting was about 10 miles away from my home and the airport.
As I was coming up a small hill on County Road F, and I noticed a big orange ball shape about 300 feet above the tree line. I was instantly scared and started to shake. I tried so hard not to look. As I drove closer to where it was and saw an orange ball of light split, and now there were three of the same size glowing orange lights. I watched in my review mirror as I drove past the lights still scared. I stopped the car, rolled down my window and tried to take a picture of the red light but it was not showing up. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Australia
Mudgee — He is using an infrared converted cam to see these UFOs on March 27, 2016. A normal camera cannot see most of these. Colourufo of Youtube is an expert at it and hunts on almost a daily basis. Scott C. Waring Website
Brazil Light
Braganca Paulista –It was a Tuesday, the end of Carnival, around 23 pm, on February 9, 2016. I was resting in the hotel room balcony (Hotel Villa St. Augustine – in Braganca Paulista) when I noticed a very bright object, which initially I thought was a plane that it was more than 1 hour in the same region of the sky. I took pictures and recorded video, which was what I could do, but to this day I do not know what I saw.
A glowing disk with a raised upper and lower center (dome). The object is balanced like a wheel UFO. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Canada Orb
Belwood Ontario — My daughters were at a sleepover on March 16, 2016, break at my parents house. I had the flu so I decided to sleep in my eldest daughters bed so as not to get my partner sick. I had the blinds open to let the moonlight in and had noticed at about 11:15pm what I thought was an airplane flashing through the sky through the branches of a tree in our yard. It was a very clear night so I watched it for about a minute and thought it was flashing strangely but that I was probably just seeing it weirdly through the branches. I rolled over to go to sleep but after about 30 minutes l didn’t sleep, rolled back over. The bright flashing light was still there and I knew that if it was an airplane or a satellite it would have moved to another position in the sky or passed out of view by now. I got out of bed and grabbed my phone which was charging. I started to film. You can see the street light in the bottom right hand corner of the screen, then I zoom in on the light. I steadied the phone on the window sill and once I zoomed in on the light it began to move around until my phone suddenly died. I bent down to plug my phone in to continue charging but when I looked back up the light was gone. I have seen this exact light once before in my life when I was a girl, back in the late 90’s my mum, dad, sister & I were watching a huge meteor shower in our backyard in St. George and when the meteor shower drew to a close, a light exactly like this hovered high above our house did the exact same movements.
The night I filmed these lights my eldest daughter and her best friend saw several bright balls of light in their bedroom at my mother’s house. None of us felt scared or reacted in any way other than wonder. We aren’t into paranormal stuff and don’t know a ton of stuff about UFO’s. We just know that we see weird lights and weird stuff happens around us sometimes. We haven’t felt well lately. Both my daughters are on wait lists for ENT’s (ear nose & throat specialists) at McMaster Hospital. I am on a wait list for an allergist. We all have upper respiratory infections and chronic sinusitis, my eldest daughter has nosebleeds and has woken up with bruising and blood on the palate of her mouth. My youngest daughter has a weird triangular mark on her shoulder and I have a weird scar on my right calf. There are other odd health things too but that’s probably enough for now. I can provide medical documentation and photos of everything. I would just like to know if there’s something going on here?
La Vega – This is a picture I’ve seen since childhood in many places in my city, is an old photograph as 1940, something like that, there an odd shaped object.
I find it curious, it can be anything, but at that time, people did not think of spaceships and stuff like that, I do not think it is a montage; people see that picture and do not notice that there is something there that who knows what it will be.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
France Light
Cajarc — I was taking pictures of French mountains with a friend, using long exposure time, when I saw a strange light among the clouds. I first thought it was the moon, but then I remembered it was a day of the new moon. Besides, it was moving slowly, back and forth laterally. I was fascinated, so I took a picture. It is a 10 seconds exposure so the object is blurry because of its motion. The light around it looked unreal, as if it was a very powerful. That is why I thought it was an UFO. My friend was amazed too. Gradually, the light became dimmer, and the object vanished in the dark in a few seconds. Thanks to MUFON CMS
German Light
Cologne– UFO seen over the ciy and this photo taken.

Spain Mothership
Tenerife – Callao Salvaje — One mothership with cigar appearance plus 5 other objects near the mothership on March 27, 2016. The skyline was caught from our security camera with a movement detector. It was caught from our “Revelacion Ovni” Security camera. You can see clearly in the photo, but in the video it only appear as a flash.Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK/England Light
It slowly hummed over head going into a shadow of darkness. Definitely not ours and we have never been alone. Lets not rise to the debunkers they are not worth the effort as aliens are real, friendly and ancient. We need to give no credence to recognize debunkers.
We need to stop trying to prove. We have all the evidence. We also need to professionally certificate sincere claims.
