Eyewitness states:
On Saturday March 26, 2016- I was exiting the Huntington Metro garage on the Huntington Ave side (lower Huntington Metro) when coming down the ramp across from Fenwick Dr. when I glanced up and saw a strange silver/grey object hovering off in the distance seemingly over the area of the highway/Eisenhower ave/ Duke st. I could not tell its exact size but it was large and stationary ( it did not lower or raised as I watched it). I noticed that the sky was partly cloudy but 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 that 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 said I did not as we watched it hover, then spin on its axis and I saw the attachment just under its “nose”. It was slightly curve and reddish in color. I took out my cell phone and snap off a couple of pictures. I then quickly cross Huntington ave and made my way towards Huntington Park, which took me know more than 5 minutes. I lost sight of the object so I crossed the length of the park still not spotting it. I made my way to the banks of Camron Run/ Huntington Creek, looked and saw nothing. I stood there for about 10 minutes before I left and went on my way. The pictures are nice and clear but the object to far away for the phone to get a better picture. Blow-up you can see the attachment better.

50 Years Ago, Michigan Congressman Gerald Ford Made UFOs a Political Issue

Gerald R. Ford didn't want to believe. He wanted to know what the hell was happening in Michigan.

• Megan Logan

Fifty years ago, soon-to-be president and then-representative Gerald R. Ford changed the conversation about UFOs in a very permanent way. In 1966, a growing number of reported sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects were coming out of Michigan. Naturally, people were concerned. Being the representative of the state’s 5th District, Ford shared their concern and called upon congress to conduct a “congressional inquiry” into the matter.

And he wasn’t shy about taking on the problem. UFOs were getting a lot of media attention and Ford didn’t shy away from a spotlight. He issued a pre-hearingpress release making the case for government transparency and calling out a prominent astronomer.

Ford is not satisfied with the Air Force explanation of the recent sightings in Michigan and describes the “swamp gas” version given by astrophysicist J. Allen Hynek as “flippant”

Ford proposed that either the Science and Astronautics Committee or the Armed Services Committee of the House schedule UFO hearings and “invite testimony from both the executive branch of the government and some of the persons who claim to have seen UFO’s.” Politically speaking, he was all in.

Now, it’s important to remember that this is 1966. We’re talking Cold War, post-Cuban Missile Crisis, hide-under-your-desks-in-the-event-of-a-nuclear-attack America. This stuff wasn’t funny. It was weird and frightening. When Ford called for a formal congressional inquiry, he lent a degree of credibility to loose rumors, but he also calmed public panic. His commitment to transparency on the parts of the Air Force and the government sent a clear message: The government won’t hide hard truths.

Ford didn’t get his congressional inquiry, but he did get a major report from the University of Colorado Boulder and the Air Force’s Project Blue Book, which was responsible for investigating UFO sightings.

This Project Blue Book investigation lasted a little over three years before it was terminated in 1969. According to a fact sheet distributed by the US Air Force to the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, “The decision to discontinue UFO investigations was based on an evaluation of a report prepared by the University of Colorado entitled, “Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects;” a review of the University of Colorado’s report by the National Academy of Sciences; past UFO studies and Air Force experience investigating UFO reports during the 40s, ‘50s, and ‘60s.”

So what did the report find?

Between 1947 and 1969, Project Blue Book had 12,618 reports of UFOs, 701 of which were deemed “unidentified.” Many were explained away as meteorological events, classified test flights, weather balloons and things of that nature. Those that remained unidentified apparently lacked sufficiently compelling evidence to keep Project Blue Book afloat.

The distributed US Air Force document goes on to state:

“As a result of these investigations and studies and experience gained from investigating UFO reports since 1948, the conclusions of Project BLUE BOOK are:(1) no UFO reported, investigated, and evaluated by the Air Force has ever given any indication of threat to our national security;(2) there has been no evidence submitted to or discovered by the Air Force that sightings categorized as “unidentified” represent technological developments or principles beyond the range of present-day scientific knowledge; and(3) there has been no evidence indicating that sightings categorized as “unidentified” are extraterrestrial vehicles.”

Even after the Air Force hung up its tin hat, though, civilians continued investigations into UFOs. Today, organizations like MUFON exist to catalog and track UFO sightings.

As we become increasingly convinced of the probability that we’re not alone in this universe, the investigation of unexplained events and UFO sightings seems more urgent and more credible than ever before.

There’s reason to think that without Ford’s willingness to risk his reputation on an insistence that UFO sightings be investigated, there may not have been an investigation or a report at all. Ford gave the witnesses behind these sightings credibility and drew attention to need for an explanation, no matter how vague.

Though there was never a formal congressional hearing, Ford’s push for transparency from the government and the military was an important move, and had everyone from politicians to mailmen thinking about UFOs seriously.

Whether or not we have the “whole truth” is still a matter that conspiracy theorists and those who want to believe are ready and willing to debate. Any way you spin the flying disc, though, the original man who wanted to believe just might’ve been Gerald R. Ford.

Alabama cylinder UFO caught briefly on witness video

An Alabama witness at Pell City reported watching and videotaping a large, black, cylinder-shaped UFO hovering over a highway, according to testimony in Case 71724 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness pulled this still image from the video. (Credit: MUFON)

The witness was driving eastbound along I-20 just west of Pell City at 12:02 p.m. on October 21, 2015, when a large, black, hovering object was noticed over the interstate.

“I whipped out my camera and tried to record it,” the witness stated.“I estimate the object to be around 80 feet long and approximately 300 feet off of the deck. I observed it for about two miles of interstate before passing underneath it.”

The witness described the object.

“I could not see any windows or features to the object, and it appeared stationary.”

The witness asked his wife if she saw the object as she was traveling behind him.

“My wife was traveling less than 10 minutes behind me and was not able to positively ID the object as it had moved away by then.”

The witness included a short video of the object and a still image taken from the video.

Cropped and enlarged version of the still frame taken from the witness video. (Credit: MUFON)

“I looked at what I had recorded and did a screen grab of the object zoomed in. I will attach both files. Unfortunately, the video makes it appear much smaller than what I was observing. Anyways, I don’t know what it was, thought maybe you would be interested.”

The object is hard to see in the video and is only briefly captured near the end. The still frame taken from the video shows the object very well.

Alabama MUFON Field Investigator Michael Haynes investigated and closed this case as an Unknown.

Pell City is a city in St. Clair County, Alabama, population 9,565. Please remember that most UFO sightings can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

US Navy Spies Learned of Hitler Alliance with Reptilian Extraterrestrials, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of interview: April 2016
Source: 

http://exopolitics.org/us-navy-spies-learned-of-nazi-alliance-with-reptilian-extraterrestrials-during-wwii/

The fact that Hitler had assistance from an alien species is something thats been on all our minds. Obviously some of that assistance was military strategy. The worst thing about this is if Hitler was working with aliens, then he is still alive and will never die due to their technology. If he is still alive, then he can still be hunted down on this planet or another. 

This reminds me of a Star Trek episode...Storm Front, where the reptilians are helping the Nazis, I'll put a video at the bottom for you to compare it.

News states:
In today’s episode of Exonews TV, William Tompkins reveals an astonishing secret acquired by U.S. Navy spies embedded within Nazi Germany’s advanced technology projects during the World War II – the Nazi war effort was being assisted by extraterrestrial visitors. The spies had reported to a covert Naval Intelligence operation, located at Naval Air Station San Diego, that Adolf Hitler had signed a secret agreement with representatives of a Reptilian extraterrestrial race. In today’s newly released ExoNews TV interview, Tompkins reveals how “Reptilian consultants” were helping the Nazi SS develop advanced weapons technologies In the interview, Tompkins discusses the Reptilian consultants helping the Nazis: They had, if you want to call them, “consultants”, who are Reptilian consultants assisting on all of these different things that it takes to design and build these spacecraft carriers, and propulsion systems. So this is an extremely well developed program and documented like crazy. Getting copies of the documents was hard for them, hard for our spies. This was an open program in the upper level of the SS.

PC Alan Godfrey UFO Witness on BBC Breakfast Time TV Show - Nov 1980, Interview, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: November 1980
Location of sighting: West Yorkshire, England

This police officer was abducted by aliens back in the 1980s and was hypnotised to help him remember the event. Its a historical case and we can learn a lot about it. Many people, some of which are readers here, have had interactions with aliens, and either don't know it, or recall it too well. These individuals need to come forward, and make a video about what happened to them. Telling their story is part of the healing process.

Eyewitness states:
The 1980 Alan Godfrey case is the main abduction case that Gary has researched in depth. He thinks this case is important because as well as Godfrey’s testimony, there are several independent witnesses that saw something strange in the sky at the same time in the local area. Timeline of Alan Godfrey’s experience. On November 28th, 1980, Alan was in his patrol car in Todmorden, West Yorkshire. He was sent to check out reports of cattle wandering around a local council estate. He saw a bright light in the road ahead and thought it was a bus. As he got closer, though, it became clear that this was not the case. He found himself looking at a rotating object, hovering over the road. He sketched the craft in his notebook. There was a burst of light and he found himself driving further along the road with no sign of the UFO. He returned to the police station and later found that he was missing about twenty-five minutes of time. The sole of one of his boots was split and he had an itchy, red mark on his foot. Later, he would undergo hypnotic regression, where it emerged that he was taken from the car and led onto the craft. Here, he saw robot-like creatures and a humanoid wearing a black skull cap. Gary has studied the video tapes of Alan’s hypnosis session and has concluded that they were well conducted. Alan was not lying. He had nothing to gain from making up his story and, indeed, his experience has had a negative effect on his life. Gary would also point to one pioneer of abduction research, the late Dr John Mack. Mack had concluded that many abductions go back to 'the victims’ childhood. Alan Godfrey had spoken of seeing a blue ‘tennis ball’ in his room as a child. Others have reported these blue orbs both in their bedrooms and other places, such as while driving. As a police officer, Gary was interested in evidence, and this case has so much of it!

Witnesses stunned after separate 'UFOs' sighted flying over Plymouth

A low-flying aircraft, described by witnesses as similar to a "cargo plane", was spotted over Whitleigh while a second UFO was sighted flying over Stoke

SEPARATE sightings of an unidentified flying object shooting across the Plymouth skyline have left two residents speechless - and air traffic controllers baffled.

A low-flying aircraft, described as a "cargo plane" by witnesses, was first spotted shortly after 7pm on Monday night hovering above a row of houses in Whitleigh.

Less than three hours later and locals in Stoke reported seeing an "out-of-this-world" spaceship with "bright, white lights" shifting from left to right at high speed.

Air traffic controllers, meanwhile, say there were no known planes flying over the city at the specified times.

Vicky Liu

Two UFOs were spotted by Herald reader Vicky Liu earlier this week flying over Morrisons

Ian Shepherd, who reported the Stoke sighting, said: "I thought it was a plane at first, but it was moving way too fast to be something from this world.

"It was travelling from left to right, left to right. It was so quick, it was like it was teleporting across the sky.

"It was so far away, it was hard to say what it was exactly, but it was football-shaped and had this light that changed from being constant and white to blinking and rusty-like. It was copper-coloured.

"It was such a clear sky that there was no way anyone could miss it. It was definitely not a drone, it was too quick and bright for that and it definitely wasn't a plane.

"I don't care what people might say, that was a UFO."

Earlier in the evening, witnesses described a "silent" aircraft flying just inches above a house on Taunton Avenue in Whitleigh.

A local resident, who has asked not to be named, said he was with his cousin and a friend when the 'plane' flew overhead.

"I thought it was going to hit a chimney," he said.

"It turned on its side and it was literally inches away from hitting these houses. The strange thing was, I couldn't hear any engines or jets.

"It was silent. It passed over us so quickly that I didn't manage to get a picture, but all three of us saw it.

"I was shocked. I even reported it to the police using their non-emergency number, but they didn't know what it was."

A Ministry of Defence spokesman confirmed there were no military flights scheduled in Plymouth on Monday night, though a Cornish man photographed what he claims was a NATO spy plane circling over St Austell on Tuesday morning.

Paul Beauchamp, of the National Air Traffic Services, gave some hope to conspiracy theorists, however, after failing to rule out the two sightings.

"We have had a look at our logs for Monday night and there are no reports which match this type of activity," he explained.

"However, we handle traffic in a controlled air space and, for Plymouth, that starts at around 14,000ft. Any reports of aircraft flying near housing is too low for us to monitor.

"We cannot categorically say what it was these two people saw."

Masses of people have taken to social media to find out answers, and there have been an assortment of sugegstions as to what the strange sight might have been.

From cargo planes to drones with LED lights attached, no conclusion has yet been reached.

Tish Curran said on Facebook: "It flew past my house in Wotter, was quite low as could see it out the window."

And Nina Carter commented: "I saw the low flying plane last night when I was working in Ernesettle at about 7, it flew over Tamerton creek heading towards the Tamar Bridge, I thought it was a military aircraft too."

However Aaron Barrett offered an alternative. He said: "Sorry to disappoint but it was my drone I had some new LED lights attached."

Vanishing UFOs Spotted Over Ontario

Is this proof of UFOs coming from or going to other dimensions?

V-FOR-VICTOR / YOUTUBE

UFOs seem to blip out or instantly vanish over Ontario, Canada.

UFOs are reported across the globe on a daily basis, and it’s often the same thing — a circular object shines brilliantly in the sky, and then, instantly, it disappears.

Of course, if an advanced civilization in a far off galaxy had the technology to cross the far reaches of space, we might assume the pilots of those spacecraft could also have a cloaking device or hyperspace afterburners, like you might see in your favorite science fiction movie.

They might even have the ability to slip into and out of other dimensions or realities.

A sighting last month in Ontario, Canada, posted to YouTube, delights viewers’ eyes and lives up to every expectation of a close encounter, except in one respect: It probably isn’t real. 

We generally don’t comment on anonymous UFO reports posted on social media. However, this one seems to illustrate an important point, and you might keep this in mind the next time you think you see an ET’s spacecraft.

The eyewitness, known only from his V-For-Victor (V4V) YouTube channel, claims that he saw through his bedroom window, “three bright objects in the sky hovering beside each other in a strange formation.”

V4V decided to videotape the objects after they began to blink randomly, disappear and reappear in the same spot. The following 13-second video shows some of this activity.

The incident is under investigation by MUFON, an international UFO research organization that collects UFO reports and attempts to come up with credible explanations for those sightings. 

MUFON is not related to any academic organization, nor are their internally trained investigators required to have advanced degrees in science. 

The first problem with this submission, of course, is that we don’t know the identity of the eyewitness.

MUFON claims it withholds a submitter’s personal information to save that person the negative attention that might come from claiming to see a UFO.

That’s understandable. Nobody wants to be dismissed as a kook. Still, that means we know nothing about this person’s credibility, mental health or sobriety at the time of the incident. He or she might simply be a prankster.

In this particular case, HuffPost reached out for more information to V4V, who didn’t respond to our request.

The YouTube posting does provide some background, at least.

“I have no idea how high and how far away the UFOs were,” V4V says. “[They] looked very large. I did not hear strange noises or any aircraft engines ... The color of the UFOs was a yellow/orange, almost like car lights.”

But we don’t know exactly when the incident took place because the witness’ post contains conflicting information, and there are no corroborating witnesses.

His written report begins with: “Filmed with a iPad Air 2, on Feb. 19, 2016.”

Yet, just below that, where the incident description actually unfolds, it says: “OnFeb. 21, 2016, at around 5:50 PM, I witnessed 3 UFOs hovering outside.”

So, did this take place on Feb. 19 or Feb. 21? 

A Holland-based YouTube channel, FindingUFO, presents information, news and videos about dubious UFOs, submitted by people from around the world. The channel added some visual enhancements to the Canada video, in the following attempt to better clarify the UFOs in this story:

Some of the comments on the YouTube page of the original report support the eyewitness’ testimony of capturing something very unusual in the sky.

Others weren’t so kind, suggesting the UFOs were simply window-reflected lights.

HuffPost showed the video and written report to Marc Dantonio, a video and image specialist of FX Models, who uses advanced software tools in his photo analysis work.

“Interesting video,” Dantonio emailed HuffPost. “However, I noticed something peculiar when the objects vanish in the ‘sky.’ I say ‘sky’ that way because, in my opinion, they were very likely not in the sky at all. I could see, at one point in the video, the edge of a window. I believe we are seeing lights reflected in a window, and the ‘winking out’ is just the light becoming blocked in the room, and thus, no longer reflecting in the window.

“The right-hand light goes out top to bottom. It’s like someone slid a piece of paper or cardboard down in front of the lights one by one. In my opinion, we are looking through a window and viewing light reflections that were extinguished manually, one by one.”

We’re not saying this is what V4V did. We’re just keeping the dialogue open.

UFOs? Maybe They’re Just...

Sky Lanterns Mistaken For UFOs

Chinese or sky lanterns are often misidentified as UFOs. These three were part of a large group of lanterns that was the main event of the 2013 Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival in Taiwan on Feb. 24, 2013.

Kentucky UFO -- Oct. 16, 2012

Amateur astronomer Allen Epling captured video and images of a cylindrical object in the sky above his Virgie, Ky., home on Oct. 16, 2012. This is one of the images he took, which led many to believe the object was a high-flying solar balloon.

Manufactured UFO -- 2011

Pictured is a quad copter -- a deliberately manufactured UFO created by special effects wizard Marc Dantonio for a National Geographic special, "The Truth Behind: UFOs," which aired in December 2011. On the left is what the small device looks like resting on the ground, measuring 4 feet in circumference. At right, is how it appeared behind a tree in the night sky.

Boomerang UFO composite images -- 10-5-12

This is a composite of images shot by two eyewitnesses of a boomerang-shaped UFO they reported seeing over their Burbank, Calif., home on Oct. 5, 2012. Mutual UFO Network photo/video analyst Marc Dantonio concluded the object was likely "a balloon, floating on the wind that has collapsed in half."

Melbourne, Australia, Feb. 2013

This is a composite image of how three alleged UFOs maneuvered about in the sky over Melbourne, Australia, in early February, 2013. The final verdict isn't in yet on whether they're birds, aircraft, balloons, bugs or something truly unidentified.

Exploding Weather Balloons, Not UFOs

On Dec. 20, 2012, a bright, circular object (pictured at the top of this composite image) was videotaped exploding in the skies above Sacramento, Calif. It wasn't immediately identified, resulting in speculation that it was either an alien spacecraft, military top secret weapon, runaway planet, North Korean satellite, among others. Within a short period of time, it became apparent that this was a weather balloon. The bottom part of this image shows such a balloon as it ascended over Tampa Bay, Fla., on July 2, 2012, and exploded in an identical manner as the Sacramento object, probably much to the dismay of all true ET believers out there.

Weather Phenomenon

Some UFO sightings may be due to a natural phenomenon known as sprites, like this one shown from 2006. "Lightning from [a] thunderstorm excites the electric field above, producing a flash of light called a sprite," said geophysicist Colin Price.

Clouds

Clouds: Saucer-shaped or "lenticular" clouds that form at high altitudes have been confused with UFOs.

Meteors

Meteors: Space debris can create a spectacular light show when it burns through the Earth's atmosphere, and sometimes reported as UFOs.

NASA Scientist speaks out: There’s someone else on the moon

12 Of The World’s Most Mysterious Photos That Cannot Be Explained… Or Can They?

Pretty much anything can be faked now days… I mean anyone with good photography skills, or a copy of Adobe Photoshop can do it. Anyways, these photos and occurrences are some of the most famous unexplained photos on the internet.

I can probably bet that you’ve come across some of these at one time or another. While some of these unexplained photos have still yet to be concluded 100% as fake, some have been completely debunked… Check them out below.

1. BLACK KNIGHT SATELLITE MYSTERY

The story:

“Legend has it that in orbit around the Earth is a mysterious, dark object which dates back perhaps 13 000 years. Its origin and purpose are inscrutable, dubbed the “Black Knight” this elusive satellite has allegedly been beaming signals towards the Earth and inspected by NASA astronauts yet only a few on Earth officially know of its existence.

“The origin of the ominous name is part of the enigma; it is impossible to discover who first called it this or indeed why. Humans have only in the last 60 years had the technology to launch a man-made object into space so what is the logical explanation of tales of an alien intruder on our doorstep?

Possible explanation: some people think it’s a thermal blanket that had been lost during an EVA….. or just some space debris.

2. THE MYSTERIOUS HINTERKAIFECK MURDERS

The story:

“In Germany, 1922, the murders of six people at the Hinterkaifeck farmstead shocked the nation. This wasn’t just because of the gruesome nature of the case, but also because the case was so incredibly weird, and it remains unsolved to this day. Over 100 people were interviewed in the murder, but no one was ever arrested. No motive was ever established as to explain the murders.

“The previous maid had left 6 months earlier, saying the home was haunted. The new maid arrived only hours before the murders. It is believed that the perpetrator(s) remained at the farm for several days – someone had fed the cattle, and eaten food in the kitchen: the neighbours had also seen smoke from the chimney during the weekend. This photo depicts one of the victims as he lay in the house barn.

Possible explanation: The photo really isn’t unexplained, the events did happen and the photo taken you see above is authentic…. What’s unexplained is the events that led up to it, and how it all went down. You can read more about it here.

3. THE PHOENIX LIGHTS

The story:

“The Phoenix Lights were a series of widely sighted unidentified flying objects, seen by 1000s of people, observed in the skies over Arizona, Nevada in the United States, and Sonora, Mexico on Thursday, March 13, 1997.There were allegedly two distinct events involved in the incident: a triangular formation of lights seen to pass over the state, and a series of stationary lights seen in the Phoenix area.

“The lights were reported to have reappeared in 2007 and 2008, but these events were quickly attributed to (respectively) military flares dropped by fighter aircraft at Luke Air Force Base and flares attached to helium balloons released by a civilian.

Possible explanation: a squad of A-10 fighters that dropped flares, and was confirmed by the Phoenix News Times back in 1998…. However, many people still believe it’s UFO’s

4. SOLWAY FIRTH ASTRONAUT

The story:

“Jim Templeton was in a marsh taking photos of his young daughter and after getting them developed there appeared to have been a Spaceman in full astronaut gear standing behind her. Except there wasn’t anyone else around while they were there. Even Kodak verified that it was not tampered with.

Possible explanation: Check out the photo below

5. THE FALLING BODY

The story:

“As the Cooper’s move into their new home in Texas, they take a photograph of the family sitting together, but as the photo is taken, a body falls from the ceiling.

Possible explanation: Photos like these were common in the 1950’s since people re-used film quite a bit back then due to it being so expensive. It’s most likely a photo overlay.

6. PHANTOM THUMB

The story:

“A group of four kids posing for a picture, however, there appears to be a mysterious thumb next to the kid in black on the right, that does not seem to align with anyone’s body.

Plausible explanation: a 5th boy ducking under everyone not in sight of the picture…. or some trick photography and Photoshop.

7. BATTLE OF LA

The story:

“A photo published in the Los Angeles Times on February 26, 1942 has been cited by modern day conspiracy theorists and Ufologists as evidence of an extra-terrestrial visitation. They assert that the photo clearly shows searchlights focused on an alien spaceship; however, the photo was heavily modified by photo retouching prior to publication, a routine practice in graphic arts of the time intended to improve contrast in black and white photos.

“Los Angeles Times writer Larry Harnish noted that the retouched photo along with faked newspaper headlines were presented as true historical material in trailers for the film Battle: Los Angeles. Harnish commented, “if the publicity campaign wanted to establish UFO research as nothing but lies and fakery, it couldn’t have done a better job.”

Possible explanation: you pretty much just read it… the photo was heavily retouched and it was actually a weather balloon.

8. HESSDALEN LIGHT

The story:

“Unusual lights have been reported here since 1940s or earlier. Especially high activity of Hessdalen lights took place from December 1981 until the summer of 1984 when lights were observed 15–20 times per week. The frequency of the lights caused a gathering of numerous tourists staying there overnight to see the phenomenon.

“Since then, the activity has decreased and now the lights are observed some 10–20 times per year. The Hessdalen light most often is a bright, white or yellow light of unknown origin standing or floating above the ground level. Sometimes the light can be seen for more than one hour. There are several other types of unexplained lights observed in the Hessdalen valley.

Possible explanation: scientists have had many theories on this, but the lights still remained unexplained to this day. Some experts think some sort of plasma causes the light when a gas ionises to form a cloud of ions and electrons. You can read the entire thing here.

9. THE TIME TRAVELER

The story:

“People believe that this photograph, taken in 1941 at the re-opening of the South Forks Bridge in Gold Bridge, Canada, is depicting a man in seemingly modern dress and style, with a camera that is advanced well beyond its time. The circle on the left illustrates a man with a camera typical to the time-period.

Possible explanation: while he does look out of place, everything he was wearing during that time period is correct… even the camera. Take a look at these three examples:

GLASSES WITH PROTECTIVE SIDE SHIELDS

KODAK DID HAVE PORTABLE CAMERAS IN THE 1940’S

HE’S WEARING A MONTREAL MAROONS T-SHIRT… A HOCKEY TEAM THAT PLAYED IN THE NHL FROM 1924-1938

10. THE SKUNK APE

The story:

“In 2000, two photographs said to be of the Skunk Ape were taken by an anonymous woman and mailed to the Sarasota County, Florida, Sheriff’s Department. The photographs were accompanied by a letter from the woman in which she claims to have photographed an ape in her backyard.

Possible explanation: Most skeptics believe it’s nothing other than a black bear.

11. THE MADONNA WITH SAINT GIOVANNINO AND A UFO

The story:

“This painting is called “The Madonna with Saint Giovannino”. It was painted in the 15th century by Domenico Ghirlandaio (1449-1494) and hangs as part of the Loeser collection in the Palazzo Vecchio. Above Mary’s right shoulder is a disk shaped object. Below is a blow up of this section and a man and his dog can clearly be seen looking up at the object.

Possible explanation: More than likely it’s just symbols added by the painters…. However, some skeptics believe it’s a cloud with sun rays beaming behind it. You can read more into it here.

12. THE FALCON LAKE INCIDENT

The story:

“The Falcon Lake Incident is a reported unidentified flying object (UFO) encounter near Falcon Lake, Manitoba, Canada claimed to have occurred on May 20, 1967 by Stefan Michalak. He had had taken a short vacation in Whiteshell Provincial Park to prospect veins of quartz near Falcon Lake when he spotted two cigar-shaped objects descending, one of which landed near him.

“Michelak says he saw a door open and heard voices from inside the object, after which he tried to make contact in English and other languages but got no response. He claims to have burned his hand while attempting to examine “colorful glass” found around the object and seen a grid-like exhaust vent that expelled gas that burned his clothing.

Possible explanation: Other than a waffle iron… this one is still up in the air unfortunately.

This Glass Sphere Might Revolutionize Solar Power On Earth

It may look like something out of a futuristic novel, but its the newest solar energy generator that can fuel clean energy to thousands of homes much better than solar panels.

---

It’s a completely round sun tracking globe – essentially a giant glass marble nuzzled into a computerized metal frame.

But this lovely clear marble captures the light of both the moon and the sun – and does it better than solar panels,… 10,000 times better; making the solar harvesting capabilities of this device 35 percent more efficient than conventional solar panel designs. 

The Science 

“For the last 40 years we have tried to capture this energy with PV panels, but the earth is moving around the sun, and the fixed panel is losing its efficiency.” 

Andre Broessel’s invention may be more than just a giant marble, the German architect increased his orb-like system by combining it with a computer program which tracks the sun.

How It Works

The rotating glass orb brings in energy from the sun and concentrates it onto a small surface of tiny solar panels.

The ball lens concentrates and diffuses the light into one small focal point.

Stanford University’s associate director on energy and sustainable development Mark Thurber told the Wall Street Journal back in April, “the most intriguing renewable energy technologies are those that have the most room to improve.” In terms of solar, he said at the time, “perhaps concentrating solar power can make significant strides as we learn from the first large installations.”

The Future Of This Technology

André Broessel was a finalist in the World Technology Network Award 2013 with the globe’s design and afterward produced this latest version, called Betaray, which can concentrate diffuse light such as that from a cloudy day.

Broessel’s device is not yet available in the market. Overshooting the initial Rawlemon Solar Devices indigogo campaign of $120,000, the campaign has now exceeded $231,000.  The money is earmarked for further testing and for patent applications he’s filed in five jurisdictions.

Une civilisation extraterrestre découverte par le télescope spatial Kepler?

Des astronomes ont découvert une superstructure non-identifiée gravitant autour d'une étoile lointaine. Gigantesque amas de poussière, nuée de comètes ou superstructure extraterrestre? Les scientifiques mènent l'enquête.

Perdue entre les constellations du Cygne et de la Lyre, une mystérieuse étoile intrigue la communauté scientifique. KIC 8462852, de son petit nom, est devenue ces dernières années -et surtout ces derniers mois- le centre d'une attention toute particulière, rapporte, mardi, The Atlantic. Et pour cause, la variation de sa luminosité est aussi étrange que rare. Les scientifiques hésitent entre l'explication naturelle et... extraterrestre.  

Invisible à l'oeil nu, KIC 8462852 -située à 1480 années-lumière de la Terre- a été observée par le télescope spatial Kepler, entre 2009 à 2013. Pour être exact, le télescope de la Nasa a regardé une partie de l'espace comprenant plus de 150 000 étoiles, à la recherche de toute variation de luminosité pouvant signaler le passage d'exoplanètespassant devant un astre.  

Une énorme masse de matières orbitant autour de la planète

Les données issues de KIC 8462852 ont tapé dans l'oeil d'un groupe de "citoyens astronomes" de Planet Hunter [chasseur de planète, NDLR], un programme créé par l'université de Yale invitant tous les "citoyens scientifiques" à traquer les exoplanètes et à aider la Nasadans cette quête.  

Car si les exoplanètes obstruent partiellement la lumière d'une étoile à des intervalles réguliers -correspondant à leur orbite- ce n'est pas le cas des variations de lumière de KIC 8462852: deux faibles baisses de luminosité en 2009, une autre en 2011 et une série d'autres variations en 2013. Un schéma qui suggère qu'une mégastructureorbite autour de la planète. 

Collision d'astéroïdes, nuée de comètes...

"Nous n'avions jamais vu une étoile comme ça", s'enthousiasmeTabetha Boyajian, une astronome de l'université de Yale. "C'était vraiment étrange. Au début, on a pensé que nos données étaient fausses, ou dues un mauvais mouvement de Kepler, mais nous avons tout vérifié". 

Tabetha Boyajian a donc publié un article qui expose toutes les pistes qui pourraient expliquer ce phénomène. Ces variations brutales et irrégulières de luminosité serraient-elles causées par des éclats dus à la collision de nombreux astéroïdes, voire d'un impact comparable à celui qui a créé notre Lune? Insuffisant pour créer de telles variations, estime-t-elle. Autre hypothèse: le passage d'une autre étoile à proximité -ce qui est effectivement le cas, rappelle Ciel et Espace- qui aurait pu traîner à sa suite une nuée de comètes, alors attirées par KIC 8462852. Mais ce serait une coïncidence extraordinaire (en terme de timing d'observation).  

... Ou mégastructure extraterrestre?

Tabetha Boyajian, contactée par The Atlantic, reconnaît que son article n'explore que les causes "naturelles". Mais "d'autres scénarios sont possibles", glisse-t-elle. Jason Wright, un astronome de l'université de Penn également contacté par The Atlantic, doit publier son propre article, qui se basera sur la théorie des chercheurs du programme SETI -dont le but est de détecter les signaux d'une vie extraterrestre- selon laquelle nous pourrions détecter une civilisation "alien" grâce à de superstructures orbitant autour des planètes. Selon lui, le schéma des variations de lumière pourrait correspondre à "une nuée de mégastructures", peut être des "collecteurs de lumières" chargés de capter l'énergie de l'étoile, les fameuses hypothétiquessphère de Dyson? 

"Quand Boyajian m'a montré les données, j'ai été fasciné. Les extraterrestres devraient toujours être la dernière hypothèse à envisager, mais ça, ça ressemble à ce qu'une civilisation pourrait construire", explique-t-il au journal américain. Tabetha Boyajian et Jason Wright travaillent maintenant avec Andrew Siemion le directeur du programme SETI à l'université de Berkeley. Ils aimeraient pointer un radiotélescope sur l'étoile, pour voir si des ondes radios sont émises depuis ce système sur des fréquences associées à l'activité technologique.  

En attendant, les spéculations vont bon train sur les forums de passionnés et les réseaux sociaux. Les scientifiques auraient-il découvert une sphère de Dyson, ou, soyons fous, l'étoile noire de Star Wars? Il faudra attendre au moins janvier prochain -date où de nouvelles données seront peut-être disponibles- pour avoir, espérons le, une réponse.
