Billionaire’s hunt for aliens will include a fleet of tiny spacecraft
Billionaire’s hunt for aliens will include a fleet of tiny spacecraft
Russian billionaire Yuri Milner is looking for aliens, and putting up a lot of his own money to do it. Adding to the $100 million he pledged to spend on alien hunting projects last summer, he recently announced he will spend another $100 million to create miniature spacecraft to look for extraterrestrial life in our closest neighboring star system, 25 trillion miles away.
Last July, Milner pledged to spend $100 million over ten years to help expand the ability for the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) to listen to a larger amount of the radio spectrum in their quest to intercept an alien radio signal. This was being done through what he calls Breakthrough Initiatives.

In an announcement made earlier this week, Milner introduced a new program called Breakthrough Starshot. This program intends to build “nanocraft” that can sail the 25 trillion miles to Alpha Centauri, the closest solar system, in order to search for alien life and habitable planets.
It sounds like science fiction, but he says most of the technology needed already exists. According to Milner, advancements in microelectronics is what makes it possible. The proposed nanocraft will consist of a small microchip and a sail propelled by laser. The craft will have to be very lightweight, but it is now possible to produce a tiny chip that can include a computer, camera, navigation and communication equipment and anything else the little spaceship will need.
The nanocraft will also be fast, traveling at speeds up to 20% the speed of light. At that speed it will still take 20 years to reach Alpha Centauri, but at least it will not be alone. Milner says they will send a fleet.
“Instead of sending one big expensive machine, you can send hundreds of these,” Milner told Popular Science. “Interstellar medium is dangerous. There are dust particles that can destroy your technology. The math today shows that between the sun and Alpha Centauri something like this, if it flies this way [the thin edge as the leading edge] it will have four collisions of dust particles on the one-micron size.”
Each craft will cost about the same as in iPhone, making a fleet affordable. And with the danger of dust particles obliterating the craft, redundancy will help increase the chances for success.
Once they reach their destination, the little spacecraft will have a few hours to record video and whatever other telemetry they will be able to obtain. The data will then be sent back to earth via lasers. However, because we are talking about such vast distances, the data will still take four years to reach earth, even at the speed of light.
Milner admits there are many challenges ahead. For instance, it will take great precision to aim the lasers sending the data back to earth. There is also the matter of the lasers providing the light to propel the craft.

The light sails will not be propelled by the sun, but by an array of lasers on earth that will take 100 gigawatts. It will only take a few minutes for the lasers to propel the craft to their top speed, but the lasers will need to be very precise.
“If you’re slightly out of the beam, then you’re off completely,” explains Milner. “Can we devise a form of sail that will be stable on the beam? If it moves sideways, then it automatically moves inwards? There are many small and relatively complicated challenges like this.”
Even with the challenges, Milner is confident it can be done.
“It is possible there will be roadblocks, but we can move forward in many of those directions. This first $100 million is really just the proof of concept.”
So what if his nanocraft make it and they do find aliens? Milner says, “I think that there is a possibility of some life, but not intelligent life. So hopefully we will see something, but not too scary.”
Stephen Hawking could be at fault for making Milner worried about scary aliens. Hawking was part of Milner’s SETI announcement last summer, and was also present at the announcement of Breakthrough Starshot this week.
Hawking has expressed a fear that if we meet an advance extraterrestrial civilization, it might not go so well for the human race. At the Breakthrough Starshot event, when asked what Earthling should do if they meet aliens, Hawking replied, “We should hope that they don’t find us.”
However, he says he does think they are out there.
“There are at least a hundred billion galaxies in the visible universe, so it seems likely that there are others out there,” Hawking told the crowd.
It will take a few years to develop the spacecraft, but Milner is motivated to make it happen.
He told Popular Science, “I feel we have responsibility to push this forward if we can. People have been developing this technology, not specifically for this project, but we have this capability now. And I’m convinced that if something is possible, somebody is going to do it. So I think we just really want to see if it’s practically possible.”
Police officer reports UFO caught on surveillance video
Police officer reports UFO caught on surveillance video
A Colorado police officer at Wheat Ridge reported watching multiple unknown lights near ground level during a routine property check where video surveillance backed up the report, according to testimony in Case 57173 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The police officer pulled into Anderson Park at 1 a.m. on June 19, 2014, during a routine patrol, in Wheat Ridge.
The UFO is illustrated in this daytime photo of the area where the office saw the object. (Credit: MUFON)
“As I began driving towards the back I see five or six lights; two red, two blue, and two green, or it was two red, three blue, and one green,” the witness stated.“The lights were near a tree line on the other side of a softball field and about 150 yards away.”
The witness reported that the lights were clustered around each other at various heights in a kind of oval shape.
“I would estimate the lights were clustered around something the size of a car and were about three feet away from each other. The lights looked like LED quality light and were as bright as car headlights, not moving, and each light was about the size of a softball.”

The officer watched the lights as he pulled into the park.
“As I drove into the park the lights did not change in intensity or move like a directional light would as you move a flashlight around. As I drove I observed the lights from about the 5 o’clock to the 4 o’clock position covering about 50 yards and there was no change in intensity of the light or any idea as a direction they were pointing; thus giving me the impression they were some kind of dome light or spherical in nature.”
The officer stated that he did not see any beams of light that lit up the grass or trees around it like a car headlight would do.
“I looked at this for about five seconds and then all of a sudden the lights go out simultaneously. To clarify, there is no way the light was emitted from separate sources. The lights went out at exactly the same time and had to have been controlled from a single source.”

The officer then called the sighting in on the police radio saying that hewas going to check the park as he had just seen some strange lights.
“The radio works just fine. I go check the area and observe that the trees and grass are frosted over with freezing dew and I could see my breath. The low that night was 52 so it was probably about 55 degrees, possibly lower due to the proximity of nearby Clear Creek. I did not observe this frost anywhere else in the city that night and I was near another water source in a different part of town about two miles away and one hour earlier and did not observe the frosting of the vegetation.”
The officer turned on his spotlight and could see what appeared to be snow falling in the beam of his light.
“I remember thinking, ‘Is it snowing? No it’s too warm. Is this ash from a forest fire? No there’s no fire and I don’t smell smoke.’ I then walked onto the freshly frosted grass and see no signs of disturbance on the grass. There is a bike path near there so I go to the bike path and turn off my flashlight and stand still for about 20 seconds to see if I can hear anything (like kids laughing). As I am standing in the half-moon light my hand goes to my gun and I think to myself slowly, ‘I’m gonna go back to my car.’”

The officer felt odd.
“It wasn’t a physical feeling that made me uneasy, but not knowing what I was dealing with made me feel vulnerable. I went back to my patrol car and throughout the night parked nearby to see if the lights came back and they never did. I went back to the area just as the sun was coming up and did not observe any signs on the ground and the vegetation was no longer frosted.”
The officer attempted to understand what he had witnessed.
“The only rational explanation I can think of is that there were these lights on an ATV on the bike path, but they were arranged asymmetrically and did not appear to be directional. But I would imagine I would have seen the lights move as the ATV drove down the bike path or heard the vehicle driving away. Furthermore, the path goes into the trees and driving an ATV as fast as it would have to have gone for me to not hear it would be insane without lights. There was a traffic signal about 50 yards behind me, but the colors I saw were different hues than traffic signal colors and I have driven that area at that time a hundred times and never seen this. There was no water on my windshield and it was too clear to be a reflection.”
Colorado MUFON Field Investigator Henry Lindsey and MUFON Director of Training Ken St. John investigated and closed this case as an Unknown.

A New Mexico witness in Santa Fe County recalls a UFO event from 1995 when a disc-shaped UFO was caught on camera, according to testimony in Case 75628 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was taking photos of a double rainbow just after a thunderstorm on August 15, 1995.

“I took several photos, about six,” the witness stated. “I was directly across the street from the National Cemetery. I did not notice the object when photographed.”
The witness then took the film to be developed at the Fox one-hour kiosk in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
“When I went through the photos is when I saw this object in just one photograph. I took the photo to the Sun Spot Observatory in New Mexico. They told me that I was about 500 feet from the object. They told me that the object was going at least 500 mph. They told me that shadows were consistent with all other objects in the photograph. They told me that the camera I was using, a Kodak Instamatic, that this photograph could not have been faked.”
The witness stated that he also received a warning.
“They told me not to show it to people, because I could get into trouble.”
But that warning did not stop the witness from attempting to get more opinions.

“I went to Kirtland Air Force Base where a friend of mine was a helicopter mechanic. I showed the picture to some pilots. They became very angry with me and told me to get the hell off the base, and that if I ever came back there again, they would report me to base security. One pilot told me that I was a trouble maker, and that he was going to inform base security of my address and have me put in jail. I did not go to jail, and no one ever contacted me about the photograph.”
About two weeks later, the witness stated that he gave the photograph, the original, to a man named Dr. Greer.

“He told me that he had friends in the area that would examine the photo and that he would contact me in about two weeks to tell me about what it was. I never heard back from Dr. Greer. In the past years I have attempted to contact Dr. Greer, but he has never returned my phone calls. I also sent a copy to a man, Stanton Freidman. He told me that the photo was interesting.”

UFO over Las Vegas described as moving into a mist
UFO over Las Vegas described as moving into a mist
A Nevada witness at Las Vegas reported watching and videotaping a round UFO with light beaming from the object to the ground level, according to testimony in Case 59760 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
Still shot taken from the witness video. (Credit: MUFON)
The witness woke up about 5:30 a.m. on September 12, 2014, and first saw the object.
“As I was walking back to my bedroom I noticed a round ball in the sky that looked similar to the moon, but it had rays of light beaming down from the object,” the witness stated.“One of the rays blinked and that is what caught my attention.”
The witness first thought that the object was a plane, but then noticed something unusual.
“I ran to get my phone to record and by the time I got back to the object, the light was slowly ascending into the object while both light and object simultaneously disappeared.”
Nevada State Director Donna Carbone investigated this case and closed it as an Unknown.
“The object hovered, glowed, cast light, appeared transparent, and was the shape of a circle,” Carbone stated in her report.“Surface was glowing and had a mist/shroud. Apparent size was unknown and actual size was 31-100 feet. Prominent colors were white, exterior lights flashed randomly and other. Emission was a beam and cloud, and sound is unknown. Elevation is unknown as is lowest altitude. Flight path was stationary and direction first observed was in the west as was direction last observed. No landing observed.”
Carbone interviewed the witness for more details.
“The object was above the mountains and it was not going upwards and disappearing, but going back towards mountains and fading. It did not look man-made, but seemed alive and aware and gentle, like a being, as it hovered. Witness was adamant that the object was not a rocket, space junk, or satellite.”
Cropped, enlarged and enhanced version of a still shot from the witness video. (Credit: MUFON)
Carbone came to her own conclusions.
“This is a very interesting case due to the fact it has been on TV, in the newspapers, and on the radio, and not two sources have agreed on what it is. First report I received was a three stage rocket that launched from Guiana in South America. Then I received a report that it was a Navy Trident missile launch from a submarine. And, finally NBC News reported that our government said it was a Russian Satellite breaking up and re-entering our atmosphere, even though Russia denied it. There were also statements that it was “space junk.” So where and who do we believe. All reports came from credible individuals. Then I have my witnesses’ statements from all three reports (59760, 59777, 59758). Two witnesses at Lake Tahoe, one a pilot, state this was not a satellite as it banked and turned. Another witness, a 61-year-old male, who gets up every morning to watch the ISS go overhead, stated that the object hovered, and that it went into a mist. Then I have a 21-year-old female witness, whose hobby is photography. She is adamant that what she filmed is not a satellite, rocket or space debris. She stated she watched this object as it went “backwards” into a mist, and that it almost seemed to be alive.”
While the case appears to be concluded, Carbone is leaving the door open to future interpretation.
“So moving forward who do we believe? For me there are way too many conflicting reports, which finds me in a quandary on what to believe. I have decided to close out all three cases and mark them as Unidentified Aerial Vehicle, until we can receive absolute proof on what this object was. As my witnesses have described it to me, it could even be a mother ship leaving our universe – which has been reported numerous times by other individuals.”
Editor’s note: OpenMinds.tv originally reported on this story in September, 2014, and most experts agree it is a rocket launch of some sort. However, as the MUFON investigator indicated, it is still uncertain whose rocket it was.
Space journalist and historian James Oberg posted this comment on our original story: “Looks like a pretty standard rocket launch, so when you get basics such as azimuth/elevation, angular size and duration, etc., please share. The usual suspects seem to have alibis this time, let’s see what other players were active in this area at this time. As always, it’s important to thank the witnesses for documenting their perceptions.”

Giant White Disk Caught Over Cusco, Peru On Video, April 13, 2016, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: April 13, 2016 Location of sighting: Pucyura, Cusco, Peru
On the morning of April 13 (2016) An unidentified flying object was sighted by villagers in the town of Pucyura in Vilcabamba (Cusco). Raul Puma (eyewitness) managed to get this video and ensures us that it was something never before seen in the area. "I managed it to film at approximately 07:30 hours, but the object was flying over the area Habaspata very early, sometimes it approached and moved away from where we were not emit any kind of sound and from one moment to another disappeared the clouds ", stated Puma. These are the exact same UFOs that I reported back in Aug 25, 2011 here at USD. (Click here to view old photos). This is a great photo of a disk that is trying to cloak like a cloud. It has the exact same color as the clouds nearby, but it was caught only because it left its cloud and moved across the blue sky. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
This special documentary relates to the UFO incident back in April 11, 2008, exactly 8 years ago. It was well documented and it gives a major credibility to UFO investigations.
ALIEN CRAFT WITNESSED OVER GETTYSBURG BATTLE FIELDS
JULY 8, 1947 …………. GETTYSBURG PENNSYLVANIA
On July 8, 1947, a group of visitors were picnicking at the Pennsylvania Monument when they witnessed half a dozen silver objects fly over the battlefield and disappear in the east, not once but twice. Aghast at the site of these unknown objects slicing across the sky, the couples reported their experience that would be logged up as one of numerous suspicious sightings of “flying saucers” throughout the country that year, described as everything from saw blades to round, silver disks that made little or no noise as they whirled across the sky. Little did this group know at the time how this odd observation was only one incident of the tantalizing craze that would not only grip Adams County, but the nation as a whole-earth was being invaded. Was Gettysburg on the intergalactic list of places to visit? Not since 1938, when Orson Welles’ infamous “War of the Worlds” broadcast gripped many Americans in fear of alien invaders, had America thought for one moment about the threat from beyond the cosmos. But here it was, flying over the Pennsylvania Monument in the broad daylight of a sunny July afternoon.
The post-World War II era saw an explosion of strange sightings, reports of flying saucers, and other bizarre events seemingly beyond reasonable explanation. It was the new science fiction, which extended itself beyond radio broadcasts and books to movie screens all across the country. There was something flying around up there and though no one had any idea of what it may be; “it” had finally made an appearance over Gettysburg National Military Park.
There never was a full explanation or official disclosure about the 1947 sighting over the park. It was simply chalked up as one of the numerous sightings of unidentified flying objects that flourished around the country over the ensuing decades and certainly those picnickers who were enjoying their afternoon in the park on that day in 1947 had no idea they would part of the national sensation of observing “Flying Saucers” and quite possibly the beginning of an alien invasion! And barely four years later, Hollywood would produce the epic film, The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951) where a flying saucer landed on the national mall in Washington, DC. Isn’t it unfortunate the script writers did not see this story in the Gettysburg Times first and have Klaatu’s ship land on the lawn beside the Pennsylvania Monument? That’s probably for the best given the nation’s capital was a more pertinent choice in those early years of the Cold War. Park employees will sometimes be questioned as to the existence of ghosts or spirits on the battlefield, but few have ever asked if any of us have seen or witnessed UFO’s coursing across the park sky. Hopefully the interest in that phenomenon faded a long time ago, along with drive-in movies and bell bottom jeans.
NOTE: Actually…the sighting took place the day before (on July 7, 1947 around 3:30 PM). In fact, there was a huge wave of UFO sightings nationwide in 1947…including Pennsylvania, in which 25+ individual reports were made on July 7th & 8th. As well, the Roswell Incident was reported on July 8, 1947. Over the years, there have been UFO sightings around the battlefield, including a witness account I received in 1996 of a small disc landing on top of Devil’s Den. I never did get a confirmation on that one, but the Park Ranger I talked to didn’t think it was worth noting or repeating. I guess he wasn’t looking forward to any future alien questions from the tourists.
Two solid structures in Space at point L1, one million miles away, maybe one of ours meets one of theirs?
A possible alien satellite or ship passing by that monitors our Planet?

Jan. 17, 1967; Freetown, IN Francis Bedel, Jr., (23) of Portland, Indiana, was driving on State Highway 135, a two-lane blacktop road, north of Freetown, he later reported to State Police, when a brilliant glowing white light darted into his field of vision. It apparently hovered over the road for a few seconds, then slowly reversed its course. Bedel was so busy staring at the spectacle that he lost control of his car, which left the road and was badly damaged. State Police who investigated said that Bedel was not drinking and was not injured in the crash. NICAP files
Jan. 17, 1967; Same evening; Freetown, IN On the same stretch of highway on the same night, Mr. & Mrs. Phil Patton of Freetown, reported to State Police that a brightly lighted disc-shaped craft, about 30feet in diameter, came down alongside their car. Mr. Patton told State Trooper Conrad that the object moved along the highway right in front of their car and about one hundred feet distant from it. They estimated that it was about 100 feet above the road and they described it as a circular in shape and about the size of a small house. The Patton’s reported to police that they heard no sound from the object but that its outstanding characteristic was the extreme brilliance of its lights, predominately red but with flashing yellow and white along the side or bottom of the thing. After a half a minute, it flashed up and away. According to state police who investigated, the description given by the Patton’s was identical to that given by Francis Bedel, the young man who wrecked his car while watching a similar spectacle, about a mile from the scene of the Patton’s experience. (NICAP files)
A UFO enthusiast and ham radio hobbyist monitoring airline communications heard a UFO report from a commercial airline pilot to the control tower near Nephi, Utah, according to a new report by the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), a non-profit organization that documents and investigates UFO sightings reports from around the world. Although the ham radio operator — paranormal radio host Pat Daniels — did not record the communication, MUFON investigators were able to obtain a recorded copy from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. MUFON reports that Daniels was monitoring airlines communications on January 14 when, at about 12:12 a.m., he caught what appeared to be a UFO report from an airline pilot. According to the website UFOs Northwest, which first reported the case, Daniels claimed he heard a pilot reporting to the air traffic controller that he saw a one-mile-wide bright orange object flying to his right at a lower altitude and apparently keeping pace with his airplane. The air traffic controller told the pilot that the direction he indicated was towards Nephi in Utah, but insisted that no object was detected on radar.
Daniels promptly reported the details of the communication to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) in Utah and the case was investigated by Erica Lukes, the Utah state director for MUFON. She was assisted in the investigations by UFOs Northwest’s William Puckett. The YouTube below contains the audio of Erica Lukes’ interview with Pat Daniels. The team of investigators was able to determine that the flight from which the strange report emanated was the American Airlines flight number 434 that took off from the city of San Francisco, northern California, at 10:08 p.m. PST on Wednesday, January 13, 2016, and landed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at 5:35 a.m. EST on January 14, 2016. The investigators then filed an FOIA request with the FAA and obtained a set of audio files from the Air Traffic control website. According to Ms. Erica Lukes, she and Puckett spent hours listening to audio communications covering the time frame before they found the communications from the flight they believed the mysterious UFO report came from. However, the two were surprised to find that although the files contained communications from American Airlines flight number 434, the UFO report was missing.
The investigators notified the FAA about the missing report and after a delay of six weeks, the FAA sent voice tapes, tower logs, and radar returns pertaining to the UFO report. The YouTube video below contains the voice communication between the pilot of flight 434 and the control tower. A transcript of the audio by Open Minds website comes below.
“American 434: Tower, American 434.
Tower: 434, go ahead.
American 434: You wouldn’t happen to know what this bright orange square we are flying over is, would ya?
Tower: Uhhhh, no. That’s a good question. I am not sure. Is it off to your right side?
American 434: It is like directly off of our nose right now. It is right below us. We have been watching it for awhile now. I don’t know what it is. It is a perfect square and it is bright orange. What town are we next to? This town right off of our two o’clock (indistinguishable word).
Tower: American 434 that is Nephi. Nephi, Utah.
American 434: Nephi, okay. Cool. Now I will see what I can go find. Thank you.
Tower: You bet.
The pilot’s report sounds ambiguous compared with the report given by the ham radio operator because it is possible to conclude from the transcript that the pilot was only referring to something on the ground far below. But the audio appears to confirm that the pilot saw something below his aircraft he found so baffling that he felt compelled to report to control tower.
The 1970s was the one period, more than any other, in which the monster-hunting community focused on the controversial Bigfoot/UFO connection. Or, depending on your perspective, the lack of connection. Indeed, today, the vast majority of Bigfoot investigators are highly intolerant of the idea that there might be a link between cryptid apes and aliens. Although, I definitely recommend Stan Gordon’s 2010 book, Silent Invasion, which is an excellent study of Bigfoot and Fortean high-strangeness in 1970s-era Pennsylvania. And, it was also in the seventies that the fascination for the UFO-Bigfoot link spilled over into the domain of fiction.
The Six Million Dollar Man was one of the most popular television series of the 1970s. It starred Lee Majors as astronaut Colonel Steve Austin who, while test-flying a new, prototype aircraft, suffers a severe accident in which he loses both of his legs, his right arm, and his left eye. It could have spelled the end of any kind of meaningful life for Austin. Except for one thing: thanks to the work of a secret government agency – the Office of Scientific Intelligence (OSI) – Austin is rebuilt, using sophisticated robotic technology called bionics. In short, he becomes a cyborg: a half-human, half-machine, long before Robocop was on the scene. The long-running series was an immediate hit with the viewing public. And it provoked a spin-off show, in 1976, The Bionic Woman(starring Lindsay Wagner).
“The Secret of Bigfoot” was a two-part Six Million Dollar Man adventure that aired in February 1976. It was, and still is, one of the most popular of all. The story is set in the heavily forested mountains of California – from where a great deal of real-life sightings of Bigfoot have been made. From the outset, the tale is shrouded in intrigue. A pair of geologists, monitoring earthquake activity in the area, have vanished. The OSI, under Steve Austin’s boss, Oscar Goldman (actor Richard Anderson), is working with the geologists, Ivan and Marlene Bekey. As a result, Austin soon plays a leading role in the quest to find the pair. And particularly so when huge, human-like footprints are found in the area.
While Marlene remains missing, Ivan turns up, in a condition of near-hysteria. He is not the only one who turns up. A huge Bigfoot (played by wrestler, Andre the Giant) is soon on the scene, too, and launches a violent assault on Austin’s and Goldman’s encampment. It’s during the attack that Austin wrenches off one of the arms of the hairy monster, which reveals it to be not a flesh and blood animal, but a highly sophisticated robot. We also learn that the Bigfoot is controlled by a group of aliens, who have a secret installation built inside one of the huge mountains.
Austin soon becomes a victim of alien abduction, in which he discovers that Marlene and Ivan were attacked because they had inadvertently uncovered evidence of the alien base. Even worse, OSI’s studies in the area show that the entire West Coast is about to be hit by a devastating earthquake, one that could potentially kill millions. The only available option is to detonate, underground, a small atomic device on the fault line, thus preventing the quake from occurring. Unknown to Austin, the aliens try and prevent the atomic explosion from taking place, since they believe – correctly – that it may also destroy their mountainous, secret abode.
In the final scenes, we see that the atomic explosion does indeed prevent the catastrophic earthquake from occurring. As suspected, however, it also causes major damage to the extraterrestrial facility. We also see Ivan and Marlene reunited. As a result, Austin – with help from Bigfoot, no less – gives the aliens assistance in repairing the damaged parts, and systems, of their base. Careful to ensure that the truth of the alien presence, and of the real nature of Bigfoot, remains hidden, the visitors from beyond wipe out Austin’s memories of the bizarre and near-catastrophic events. Bigfoot is once again the enigma that it always has been.
Such was the success of this particular story, Bigfoot was brought back, in September 1976, for another two-part story: “The Return of Bigfoot.” Again, the focus was on aliens, Sasquatch, and underground bases. To help boost ratings on The Bionic Woman, part-two of the story became the opening episode of the new series of that particular show, in which Austin and the bionic woman herself, Jaime Summers, clash with both ETs and Sasquatch. Andre the Giant, however, was replaced by Ted Cassidy (Lurch, inThe Addams Family), who, in 1977, took on the role yet again, in a one-off episode titled “Bigfoot V.” For fans of The Six Million Dollar Man, “The Secret of Bigfoot” remains a firm favorite. However, it probably makes more than a few Bigfoot-seekers cringe, and particularly so those rigidly in the “Bigfoot is just an unknown ape” camp.

UNDERWATER UFOs AND UNDERSEA USO BASES, April 2016, UFO Sighting News.
UNDERWATER UFOs AND UNDERSEA USO BASES, April 2016, UFO Sighting News
Date of video: April 3, 2016 This is a nice documentary about underwater bases and UFOs. There is a lot of details in it about locations and photographic evidence. Especially of interest is the UFO base just off of Malibu, California...home of the rich and famous...and probably some aliens living on Malibu. That explains a lot. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com UFOTV States: After publishing and article in Fate Magazine and a LIVE appearance on a History Channel Special, both with a focus on Unidentified Submerged Objects (USOs), Author and UFO Researcher Preston Dennett received a flood of emails and letters from new witnesses detailing many dramatic USO cases that had never been revealed before. Along the way, he discovered that the Southern California Coast is one of the worlds most active areas for Undersea USO reports. Reports that date back to the late 1940s, and continue to this day. After years of research, Preston Dennett has come to the startling conclusion that there is an Undersea UFO Base in the Santa Catalina Channel, located along the U.S. Pacific Coast. In this presentation he will present the results of his investigations into the USO situation around the world. Includes evidence of Government surveillance of USOs and ensuing coverup, photographs of UFOs and USOs, and a visual presentation of eyewitness accounts. Preston Dennett is a MUFON Certified UFO Field Investigator and the Author of over 16 books and 100 published essays on UFOs, USOs, and Alien Encounters.
Sighting of a metallic UFO could happen almost every day around the world, but photographing a bizarre flying aerial thing with its door open is something very rare. A photographer claimed he spotted and snapped pictures of a shiny object with strange movements on April 3 at a hotel in the Turkish resort of Kemer, Antalya.
He first thought it was a helium-filled metallic balloon. He observed the UFO as it moved away towards the north, returned to where the witness first noticed it, and then hovered over the sea. He then took five photos with his Canon 450D digital SLR camera with zoom lens. The unusual-looking object was reportedly observed flying above the sea. It looked like a toasted sandwich maker flying in the air.
The unnamed witness reported his sighting together with pictures to Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). In a short report, the witness stated that he caught a door that was opened at the end of the photos.
The witness claimed that the UFO vanished after taking five pictures of it. The UFOvni2012YouTube channel has published a short video about the alleged UFO sighting with close-up versions of the photos. There have been mixed suggestions from the viewers.
Emmy Award Winning Journalist George Knapp is considered the first reporter to break the story of Extraterrestrial Technology at a secret test facility now known as “Area-51.” In this presentation George will discuss the mystery surrounding Area-51, 25 years after breaking the story and will provide never before heard details from Bob Lazar, the man who claimed to have worked on Extraterrestrial spacecraft at Area 51. George Knapp is the chief investigative reporter for CBS News in Las Vegas, where he has earned the highest honors in broadcast journalism. He is a two-time Peabody Award winner as well as a 24-time Emmy Award-winning journalist whose reporting on Nevada’s infamous Area 51 military base was selected by UPI as Best Individual Achievement by a Reporter.
Artifacts and Legends dating back thousands of years have influenced man’s imagination with theories of alien beings and ancient astronauts from other planets. Sightings of unidentified flying objects of varying shapes, sizes, and other characteristics have been recorded for hundreds of years. Despite the theories claimed by some individuals, the “proof” of extraterrestrial contact, including bizarre artifacts is still uncertain. In fact, the legends are highly mythologized and cannot serve as “history.” In modern times, these stories become straightforward and reflect encounters with third-dimensional entities termed as the “aliens.”
Roaring River UFO
In this case, the UFO was photographed. Eyewitness accounts saw most encounters, but this is unique. It happened during deer season in Cassville, Missouri when a pair of hunters was trying their luck. One of them returned to their site when he saw smoke rising from their camp. He ran and discovered their tent and equipment destroyed. The tent was smoldering, their shoes were smoking, and the aluminum cots were melting. When the pair heard a low humming sound, they were looking for the source. After that, they saw a mysterious object from the valley beyond the burning tree. The good thing is, they were able to capture the object few seconds after it left the ground. The sighting lasted for about 20 seconds.
As it picked up speed, the humming sound of the mysterious object were intensified. His last look at the object was 40° above the horizon. Before it vanished, it accelerated. The UFO was reflecting the sunlight through its aluminum color. The UFO effortlessly flew as it moved into the skies. The space vessel’s diameter was about 25′ and 8′ thick. To capture the object, he used a 620 format Argoflex camera. Despite the testimony and smoking evidence, it is still uncertain that craft and the creatures therein should be held liable for the damages at the campsite.
Is this the best UFO sighting recently? Burning orbs over Graz, Austria
Is this the best UFO sighting recently? Burning orbs over Graz, Austria
Check out this really interesting UFO video of a bright orbs flying across the sky above Graz in Austria. It looks like they combine into one and then vanish away.
That's 25.6 trillion miles! To put that in perspective — if we magically shrank space to the point where the sun was just the size of a ping-pong ball, Alpha Centauri would still be nearly 800 miles away.
The biggest obstacle to achieving this journey so far has been that we don't have a spacecraft that can go anywhere near fast enough.
The New Horizons probe that NASA just sent past Pluto is traveling at an eye-watering 36,000 mph, but it would still take it 70,000 years to reach Alpha Centauri.
So that’s why — according to Hawking — we’re going to build new spacecraft. Tiny spacecraft.

Instead of one large ship, the plan is to launch thousands of small gram-sized probes. The idea relies on computer chips becoming increasingly smaller and more powerful over time — a trend that so far has held true.
We're going to build tiny spacecraft ... powered by LASERS.
Each probe would fly behind lightweight reflective sails — known as lightsails. The lightsails would catch light from big arrays of lasers here on Earth, which could provide propulsion (the probes themselves, meanwhile, could be powered by small radioactive batteries).
These tiny spacecraft powered by lasers could — theoretically — get from Earth to Alpha Centauri IN JUST 20 YEARS.
The lasers could accelerate the craft to speeds over a thousand times faster than what any current spacecraft are capable of, says Breakthrough. They predict they could get the mini-probes traveling up to about 20% the speed of light.
Of course, yes, it'll take time to get this project up and running — about 20 years just for that — and then another 20 years for the craft to get to Alpha Centauri, followed by a nail-bitingly agonizing at least four-year wait to send any pictures the probes take back to Earth.
The price tag on this project? A cool $100 million.
Getting these mini-craft working won't just be cool — they could help prove that lightsails are a good idea.
There are many challenges ahead for Breakthrough's mini-craft, like how to actually even send signals back to Earth from such a distance, but if the project is successful, it has a couple benefits.The mini-craft could take pictures of alien worlds, for instance.
But the biggest benefit could be the proof-of-concept test of the lightsails. If they work, they could become commonplace, helping us explore the solar system and the universe beyond.
But for today, the most important part of the announcement is that it’s about always reaching for the stars — and that's a very good thing indeed.

"Earth is a wonderful place, but it might not last forever," said Hawking in a statement reported by ABC News, “Sooner or later, we must look to the stars. Breakthrough Starshot is a very exciting first step on that journey.”

The tiny robotic spacecraft that Stephen Hawking and his colleagues plan to send between the stars could also revolutionize the hunt for alien life in Earth's own solar system.
Today (April 12), Hawking, several other scientists and billionaire investor Yuri Milner announced Breakthrough Starshot, a $100 million initiative to develop the technology required to accelerate postage-stamp-size, sail-equipped "nanocraft" to 20 percent the speed of light using powerful ground-based lasers. (Milner is bankrolling the project.)
"As a preliminary step, we will visit targets within the solar system," Avi Loeb, who chairs Harvard University's astronomy department and the Breakthrough Starshot advisory committee, said during a news conference today.
Loeb cited Saturn's moon Enceladus, which harbors an ocean of liquid water beneath its icy shell, as a good target for Starshot probes. Geysers erupt continuously from Enceladus' south polar region, blasting material from the hidden ocean far out into space.
"One can imagine flying such a small spacecraft through the plume and detecting molecules that might be indicative of life, fingerprints of life," Loeb said.
Visiting another icy moon that has an underground ocean — the Jovian satellite Europa — would make sense as well, said Breakthrough Starshot advisory committee member Freeman Dyson, a theoretical physicist at the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study in New Jersey.
"Supposing there are fish swimming in [Europa's] ocean, occasionally there will be an asteroid impact or a comet impact splashing huge amounts of water out onto the surface, so there should be lots of freeze-dried fish lying around," Dyson said during a phone call with reporters today after the press conference.
Provided the Starshot initiative manages to develop and prove out the required technology — a process that will likely take a number of years — there should be plenty of chances to explore Enceladus and Europa, as well as a number of other objects throughout the solar system, team members said.
Each individual nanocraft will be relatively cheap to manufacture, and many of them could be launched in a short amount of time, Starshot representatives said. Different probes could carry different instruments, together gathering (and beaming home) a diversity of scientific information about a target object or system. Indeed, the Starshot team aims to send hundreds or thousands of nanocraft to Alpha Centauri, for the sake of redundancy and to increase the scientific return.
And, after liftoff, solar system missions will provide almost immediate gratification: A laser-blasted nanoprobe traveling at 20 percent the speed of light would reach Pluto in just three days, Loeb said. (It took NASA's New Horizons spacecraft, which performed the first-ever flyby of Pluto last July, more than nine years to reach the dwarf planet.)
"In addition to the very important mission to Alpha Centauri, we're going to explore everything in between, and hopefully detect life," Breakthrough Starshot Executive Director Pete Worden said during the call with reporters.
