Bright UFO spotted over Hume Highway, NSW Australia
Bright UFO spotted over Hume Highway, NSW Australia
Location:Hume Highway, NSW Australia Date:18th May 2016 Submitted by Lynda
Witness report: I saw the same object as seen in the video ‘Amazing UFO video: Flying saucer over eastern Australia?’ We were travelling along the Hume Highway towards Sydney. The object was geo-static for at least 30 minutes after I first noticed it. I did not see it fade away. We pulled off the Highway and I took a couple of still photo’s. It was higher than the clouds and aircraft taking off from or landing? at Sydney airport as I saw 2 planes pass left to right below the object.
Witnesses Claimed Seeing an Alien Climbed the Trees
Witnesses Claimed Seeing an Alien Climbed the Trees
Remember extraterrestrials and alien creatures? Some people might not believe it—but there’s a time when a claim to have been abducted by aliens was debunked as a hoax or a myth. Since some people believed it to be fictional, anyone desperately trying to provide explanations should consider the evidence. One mysterious creature was seen climbing through the trees. Afterward, it jumped back on board when it was seen. According to the local TV news, three students have allegedly seen the entity circling Argentine city Santa Cruz before making the dramatic landing. According to a report on Notivision, locals claimed that a UFO is an extraterrestrial creature descended from its ‘vessel,’ before exerting efforts to get back on board.
It was believed that three students witnessed the EL Dorado sighting as they returned home from school. It started with a bright light when the unimaginable object occurred. Another witness claimed to have heard a very loud sound. Unfortunately, the sounds cannot be recorded because the signals went out. While there are no other ways to keep a track on the sound, it was caught on the camera before it landed. According to the reporter, a mysterious object was seen by the residents. The strange sighting was crashed on the district’s Calle 2 describing a mysterious creature that climbed a tree. Another witness told reporters that couple of eyes constantly looked at him.
It was son Friday that the strange event took place in the El Dorado district around 10 pm local time. Please remember that El Dorado district is situated in the El Bastión sector of the city. Whether or not the encounter and sighting is a genuine one has not been concluded yet, but witnesses firmly admit that it did happen. In fact, there is one resident that provided a layout of what it looked like.
Glowing Diamond UFO Looks Similar to Infamous Sighting in 1980
Glowing Diamond UFO Looks Similar to Infamous Sighting in 1980
A video has brought many commotions among experts after it shows an activity analogous to aUFO sighting in 1980.
The footage shows a UFO in a diamond shape, which is observed from inside a plane flying 43,000 feet above Texas in the U.S.
A man only identified as Steve was the one who recorded the video. He reportedly works as an aircraft maintenance director for a corporate jet fleet in the nation.
He apparently sent the video to SecureTeam10, a group of people who love to spend time analysing UFO sighting videos and share their findings on their YouTube channel.
Tyler of SecureTeam said that after they had watched the clip, they realised that the diamond-shaped UFO looked the same to the Cash-Landrum incident in December 1980 involving two women Betty Cash and Vicky Landrum. Cash and Landrum were on their way to their home from dinner with Colby, the seven-year-old grandson of Vicky. While travelling, they saw a large diamond object in the sky.
According to the reporting witnesses, the mysterious aerial object emitted flames from underneath and Betty got terrible burns as she got out to investigate.
Both of them said the unknown thing started to move away when 23-military-type helicopters appearedto approach it.
Openness and Honesty About Aliens and UFOs in the UK
Openness and Honesty About Aliens and UFOs in the UK
A video that shows David Cameron promising to be open and frank about extraterrestrial life has increased hopes of an official announcement of the existence of such life outside planet Earth.
UFO hunters are expecting and wishing that US President Barack Obama will go public about it before leaving the office.
Lobbyist Stephen Bassett believes that if Americans make the first move, the Prime Minister will follow suit.
It looks like the Tory leader will love such move after stating that no government shall hide the truth.
Richard’s letter to David Cameron asks for an interview
Chartered electrical engineer, Richard D Hall, interviewed Cameron in 2009 (before he became Prime Minister) and asked him about Dr. Edgar Mitchell, who said on a British radio station that the American government have had contact with aliens on multiple occasions and still happening at present.
The Tory chief poked fun at the question at first saying that alien life forms have been visiting Earth, and one of them was the trade secretary Peter Mandelson.
However, it looked like he changed his tone when he found out that Richard, who hosts the television show Rich Plane and runs the Rich Planet website, was serious about it.
David Cameron’s polite reply
According to Cameron, he has no idea whether ET intelligent life exists or alien sightings that have happened have any basis in truth.
He adds that UFO or alien sighting reports tend to have rational explanations and show that they are not what people who believe in UFOs suggest. However, he notes that the government should be as open as possible. He is happy to give the public a guarantee that he is open and frank about it because it‘s not something that any government should hide from anybody.
Muhammad Ali Saw UFOs Including Mothership on Numerous Different Occasions
Muhammad Ali Saw UFOs Including Mothership on Numerous Different Occasions
Do you think that the only people who saw aliens and extraterrestrial objects are your typical everyday Joes? Now, think again. The truth is, there has been a sequence of famous sightings by politicians and celebrities. Boxing and world’s heavyweight champion Muhammed Ali claimed to have spotted strange objects on different occasions. This boxing legend was an avid alien believer and claimed to have spotted and encounter beings that were shrouded in mystery and secrecy. Ali even claimed to have seen a huge alien Mothership that bears a resemblance to the ETs He also believed that alien visitations were very much relevant to the whole world. Though aliens have a blank space regarding who they are and what they are, Ali believes that they are friendly visitors from another world.
In a tribute online, Mr. Green Beckley used extracts from a book about celebrities with extraterrestrial experiences to discover Ali’s thoughts on them. Beckley had four meetings with the legend boxer when they discussed aliens. In the book, it stated that Ali spotted one in the park and later at his home in New York City. The second sightings reportedly had a glowing red trail behind it. In his book, he continued that he brought the attention to his trainer, who was standing nearby. Both of them watched behind the skyline, which moved slowly across the sky for at least 15 minutes. Later on, he finds out there were other sightings on that same night, including the Newark Airport sighting. Due to the numerous times he spotted strange objects, he wrote in a book saying how the aliens were playing tag among the stars. At the end of the day, both Ali and the author had one final formal, but short meeting about the aliens. Mr. Beckley recalled that Ali always speaks his mind.
UFO sighting caught on tape over Mesa, Arizona 16-Mar-2016
UFO sighting caught on tape over Mesa, Arizona 16-Mar-2016
Here’s one new footage of a bright unidentified flying object hovering in the sky above Mesa, Arizona.
Witness report: On Saturday night, 16 March 2013, starting at 2150 to 2209, I recorded the following lights crossing the Mesa, Arizona skyline. I was on the second floor of an apartment complex on Lindsey and US-60. I was going to close the blinds in my daughter’s room when the incident occurred. The reason I find this interesting is that there are 2-red vertical lights that slowly moved from the North-West to the East. Possibly coming from the Anthem, Cave Creek Area headed toward Superstition Mountains. An aircraft is supposed to have green lights on this side. Red was the only light visible throughout the whole recording and it was steady and never rotated or moved out of position. At about 11-minutes into filming the top light begin to fade than went out. At 15-minutes 20 seconds the second light began to fade than went out. Near the end of the filming I do show an aircraft landing at Falcon Field. I have 21-years in Naval Aviation as an Aviation Ordnanceman working on Fixed & Rotary Wing aircraft and there weapons; and 6-years in the Aerospace Industry. Three of those were manufacturing Military Helicopters and three were in Iraq & Afghanistan as a Contractor with numerous Army Medivac Units. I have been in combat situations both in the Navy and as a Contractor. With all this said, I know for a fact these are not Military Flares or other ordnance. As far as an Air Ship, Balloon or other type of aircraft, I am 99% sure it is not. I do not know of any aircraft like this or that has formation lights like this and/or then extinguishes itself. There were no clouds or haze this night. It was a comfortable cool air. As far as a shape, I could not tell. I did try to look for something that would identify its shape and transparency but did not find any evidence of it. It was too far away to determine if it had a sound. I can only guesstimate the object(s) were 8-10 miles from me.
More than 100 people are said to have seen a UFO fleet make a triangle formation.
Yesterday Express.co.uk exclusively revealed how a female pilot claimed she and her boyfriend were left with a "life-changing" experience after seeing "four UFOs" in the desert during the Contact in the Desert conference in the Joshua Tree National Park, California, which is one of the world's biggest ET conferences.
The woman, who is also a lawyer and has yet to be named, said the possible alien spacecraft appeared on Saturday evening during a special skywatch event in a report to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) which investigates UFO cases across the globe.
Now a second report about the incident has been filed with MUFON, claiming there were MORE UFOS, and that more than 100 people witnessed the strange triangle formation.
Kristie Cowans has filed a report to MUFON, claiming there was an attempt by the skywatchers known as CE-5 contact, to summon the presence of UFOs through meditation, before the phenomenon.
She said it took place at 10pm local time on Saturday and she had stargazing binoculars and a green laser.
She pointed out there was a small airport to the south and a Marine Base north-east of them, but all the "UFO" activity came from the west going due east.
She wrote: "As we began I was able to spot many stars, planets, planes and satellites as part of the process of really looking at what was above us-then the unexpected happened.
"There was a parade of seven orbs/UFOs flying faster than satellites and as high as planes & helicopters from west over the mountains and disappearing to the east.
"The colours of the orbs were bright, but a diffused soft green, diffused soft red, and diffused soft lilac blue, with the blue one being larger than the others."
CONTACTINTHEDESERT
Contact in the Desert is attended by 1000s of UFO buffs.
There was a parade of seven orbs/UFOs flying faster than satellites and as high as planes & helicopters from west over the mountains and disappearing to the east.
UFO witness Kristie Cowans
"The type of glow was unlike anything I have ever seen in my research on military drones as my skeptical mind considered this possibility.
"They did not look like drones - I saw no structures connected to the glowing lights, the glowing light floated independent of any structure."
The unnamed pilot previously independently reported seeing five of the coloured UFOs.
She described how the first UFO zipped overhead, followed by a third, fourth and fifth, the three of which then formed a triangle formation.
The woman and her boyfriend said they have been left profoundly affected by what they saw and estimated around 30 people in total would have witnessed the event.
Contact in the Desert is a four-day annual event held in the remote desert with several UFO and alien expert speakers and the opportunity for skywatching.
Their sighting and a short video showing the triangle formation is now being investigated by MUFON.
In her report to MUFON, the woman said: "We are both highly educated, professional people with an interest in UFOs.
"He is a Management Consultant and I am an attorney. I am also a private pilot."
She said the pair queued for about an hour for the "Night Vision Experience" which involved scouring space with military grade night vision goggles from around 10pm local time.
She said: "There was a yell from another participant.
"We swung our goggles to look in the northerly direction. I focused on a white, glowing object which looked like a ball of light with fuzzy edges coming over the horizon rather fast, traveling west to east and then slowlydisappearing.
YouTube
The formation was said to be similar to this one previously snapped by UFO chasers.
"Process of elimination set in: Not a plane, helicopter because no blinking lights.
“Fuzzy edges, ball shaped.
“Not a satellite because too low on the horizon and moving too fast. These objects were large enough and bright enough to be seen with the naked eye."
She said as they watched, a second object, blue in colour, "came out of the west and traveled rapidly to the east”.
It was ball shaped, glowing, with fuzzy edges, and slowed down, she said.
She added: "The third object then came from the west, this time green in colour. Same shape, characteristics as above. This one slowed down also.
"The fourth, object, I'm uncertain about the colour as people were now very excited and many thoughts were racing through my mind.
"Now, the second, third and fourth object had slowed to a triangle formation. With the apex of the triangle facing up. They did not stop but kept moving to the east."
"Ever since that evening, my boyfriend and I have been processing this event.
"Since then, we have not stopped thinking about what we saw. We are both logical, sane people.
"Neither one of us has ever experienced anything like it in our lives.
"We cannot stop thinking about what we saw at Joshua Tree."
Sceptics suggest that at events where many people attend, particularly when they want to see something, mass hysteria can kick in, an the memory becomes distorted or embellished.
Others have said that drones could be the cause of the sighting, and with it being a UFO conference taking place, it could have been pranksters flying them overhead at the time of the skywatch.
The meteor, which was filmed on phones and dashcams, prompted calls from shocked locals to police and even paranormal UFO investigators.
The fireball was seen streaming over Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky and Michigan.
Videos of the meteor have been uploaded to social media after sightings across the USA mid-west, with claims it was "a flash that fell from the sky".
Even the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), the world's biggest organisation for investigating alleged alien and UFO sightings, was contacted by open-jawed witnesses, claiming to have seen the fireball in Arizona, where one was reported just three days earlier.
NASA
A brilliant fireball lights up the predawn skies over Arizona on June 2, 2016, as this still from a NASA meteor camera in the Santa Rita Mountains, southeast of Tucson, shows
I saw a streak of white light followed by a burst of yellow/orange before the object disappeared."
YouTube user
Tom Stolze, who runs the website O'Fallonweather.org, posted a video showing the bright light soaring over houses in O'Fallon, Missouri.
While a witness from Wendelin, Illinois, wrote on the American Meteor Society (AMS) website: "It looked like one of the more expensive fireworks shooting down instead of up. I could have sworn it landed in the field I was driving by."
Another user added: "I saw a streak of white light followed by a burst of yellow/orange before the object disappeared."
The sightings came just days after a fireball lit up the skies and was captured in fantastic footage over Arizona.
According to the AMS several thousands of meteors fall each day, but most cannot be seen in daylight, and many more fall over the ocean where no one can see them.
The website said: "Additionally, the brighter the fireball, the more rare is the event."

Une météorite dans le ciel carolo ?
Une météorite dans le ciel carolo ?
Une étrange boule de feu et de fumée a traversé le ciel carolo mercredi.
Photo prise à Vaucelles ves 22h.
Le phénomène a été immortalisé par plusieurs témoins ce mercredi. La question était sur toutes les lèvres: que se passe-t-il dans le ciel carolo? Une fusée? Une boule de feu? Une comète? Selon RTL, qui a interrogé des spécialistes de l’IRM, il pourrait s’agir d’une météorite ou pourquoi pas «de déchet de l’espace».
S vous avez vu aussi cette étrange boule, n’hésitez pas à envoyer vos photos à rfi@lavenir.net avec votre nom.
Mysterieus voorwerp boven Charleroi heeft België een dag in de ban gehouden
Mysterieus voorwerp boven Charleroi heeft België een dag in de ban gehouden
Is het Eddy Wally zaliger die uit een vliegmachine springt? Of toch een UFO? Het geheimzinnige voorwerp dat gisteren boven Charleroi werd gefilmd was een raadsel voor velen. Maar aan alle mensen die in buitenaards leven geloven: de Koninklijke Sterrenwacht liet zopas weten dat het niet om E.T. en zijn volgelingen gaat, maar om een vliegtuig.
Gisteren vloog er een vreemd voorwerp in de regio rond Charleroi. Was het een meteoor, een komeet of een UFO? Da's moeilijk in te schatten, zei Jan Cuypers van de Koninklijke Sterrenwacht deze morgen nog aan VRT Nieuws.
"Het is niet onmogelijk dat het gaat om een meteoor of restanten van een satelliet, maar het is wel erg onwaarschijnlijk", vertelt Jan Cuypers. "Eerst en vooral hebben we enkel weet van meldingen in dezelfde - kleine - regio, terwijl een meteoor op veel meer plaatsen zou moeten te zien zijn. Op de beelden zien we ook dat het verschijnsel zich boven de wolken heeft voorgedaan en dat je bovenaan een einde ziet aan het traject. De kans dat het iets uit de ruimte is, is dus klein."
Tip brengt uitsluitsel
Na een nieuwe tip deze namiddag is het bijna zo goed als zeker wat ons zo in de ban hield, vertelt Cuypers aan VRT Nieuws. Het zou gewoon om een vliegtuig gaan. "De zon zat op sommige plekken echter op een goede plaats waardoor de schaduw van het vliegtuig op de condensstreep viel, die zo op rook leek. Honderd procent zeker ben je in deze gevallen nooit, maar die verklaring lijkt mij zeer waarschijnlijk."
Mysterie onthuld: dit voorwerp was te zien boven België
Mysterie onthuld: dit voorwerp was te zien boven België
Tientallen mensen maakten woensdagavond melding van een "mysterieus voorwerp" boven ons land. Vooral de inwoners van Charleroi zagen de "oranje vuurbal" duidelijk aan de hemel. Sommigen dachten dat het een komeet was, anderen hadden het over een ufo. Na onderzoek komt de Koninklijke Sterrenwacht van België met een verklaring.
Enkele inwoners van Charleroi meldden het vreemde voorwerp woensdagavond aan RTL. Meteen deden geruchten de ronde dat het om een meteoor zou gaan of een stukje puin van een raket. Sommigen dachten zelfs aan een ufo.
De Koninklijke Sterrenwacht van België ging op zoek naar de juiste verklaring. Daar werd al meteen duidelijk dat het zeker geen komeet was. "Daarna bekeken we of het misschien een meteoor was", zegt astronoom Jan Cuypers. "Ook die optie konden we uitsluiten. Een meteoor is meestal maar korte tijd zichtbaar en er is zelden tijd om foto's te nemen. Bovendien hing het voorwerp te laag in de lucht en bewoog het te trag om een meteoor te zijn."
Daardoor werd al snel gedacht dat het om een "aards voorwerp" ging. Een brandende wensballon, een raketje dat gelanceerd was vanop de aarde of een drone... Alle mogelijkheden werden bekeken.
"We hadden er echt het raden naar, tot we telefoon kregen van een man uit Oudenaarde", aldus Cuypers. "Hij vertelde ons dat hij het voorwerp ook gezien had, maar dat het er helemaal niet zo vreemd uitzag vanuit zijn standpunt. Een man uit Charleroi zei bovendien aan RTL dat hij het voorwerp vijf minuten gevolgd had."
Daardoor werd de echte aard van het voorwerp ontdekt. "Het "mysterieuze voorwerp" was gewoon een vliegtuig", klinkt het. "Een vliegtuig laat normaal witte condenssporen achter. Door de stand van de zon werd echter een uitzonderlijke schaduw op het vliegtuig en het spoor geworpen. Daardoor leek het even op een "oranje vuurbal"."
Unbelievable 'UFO sighting' behind massive cloud caught on camera - is it proof aliens exist?
Unbelievable 'UFO sighting' behind massive cloud caught on camera - is it proof aliens exist?
BYKIRSTIE MCCRUM
As a cloud formation filled the sky, Scott Wareing believed that he saw something else hiding in its shadow
A UFO enthusiast has shared footage which he believes shows a massive unidentified craft hidden in a cloud formation.
Scott Wareing has put this video online after he said he though the cloud rectangle, captured on May 12, was impossible.
He believes the cloud, recorded in Belgium, was hiding a "weird, giant saucer", and has even shared other instances of this on his website, UFO Sightings Daily.
Scott, who lives in Taiwan, wrote: "It is a well known fact that not only do UFOs hide in clouds, but they actually create the cloud around them.
"...The 1957 Fort Belvoir, Virginia, incident is an example of this. Back then a soldier took photos of a black UFO ring that headed over the base, but change from a ring to a disk cloud in just under a minute."
UFOvni2012
The cloud has been a source of interest for UFO fanatics like Scott Wareing
UFOvni2012
The footage was shot in Belgium on May 12 in the early evening
Mr Wareing says that the "groundbreaking" images from that incident showed all that "UFOs do make clouds".
UFOvni2012
Mr Wareing says that he believed that the cloud was not naturally formed in that shape
UFOvni2012
UFO fans believe this is the massive unidentified craft hidden in a cloud formation.
Commenters online are split over the accuracy of his claims. One wrote: "Bizarre not normal, true extraterrestrial hidden in cloud."
But another added: "Lame. it's called a cumulonimbus. They often have flat tops and often look like anvils."

Witness upset after watching low flying triangle UFO
Witness upset after watching low flying triangle UFO
A South Carolina witness at Indian Land reported watching a “huge, black triangle” UFO that moved quickly away and made him upset, according to testimony in Case 76605 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was lying in bed listening to headphone and looking out a bedroom window and noticed a light on May 26, 2016.
Witness illustration. (Credit: MUFON)
“I see a white light with red and blue lights blinking on it flying by,” the witness stated.“I thought it was just a plane, but what really caught my attention and made me get up and run to the window was how fast the object was moving. I have never seen a plane or anything for that matter move that fast before.”
The object also seemed very large.
“Also what I thought was odd was how big the light was. At the size of the light and the distance, usually if it was a plane, you should be able to see some detail at that point. Like oh okay, I see the blue and red strobes on the wings. But nope, it was just a ball of light.”
The witness watched as the object moved behind trees, still moving very fast, and then emerged again from the trees.
The witness realized the lights were attached to a large, black, triangle-shaped object. Pictured: Indian Land, South Carolina.
(Credit: Google)
“I noticed a smaller white light following it at the exact same speed. Then all of a sudden just before it flew out of sight, I noticed the two lights were connected and that what I was actually looking at was a huge, black triangle craft with lights at the points.”
The sighting upset the witness.
“This freaked me out pretty good and I think I almost had a panic attack. As soon as I lost sight of it I ran downstairs and outside to try and see it, but It was completely gone. Which is also weird because in the 20 seconds or so it took me to get downstairs, even if it was really far away it still should have been in sight. But it was gone. I was pretty freaked out after the more and more I thought about it, but also cool.”
Indian Land is about 20 miles directly south of Charlotte, South Carolina. (Credit: Google)
The witness provided one illustration with the MUFON report, which was filed on May 26, 2015. South Carolina Field Investigator Jeff Hughes and State Director Cheryl Ann Gilmore investigated and closed this case as an Unknown.
Indian Land is an unincorporated community in the northernmost part (the “Panhandle”) of Lancaster County, South Carolina. 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.
A Michigan witness at Ludington reported watching a low flying, triangle-shaped UFO, according to testimony in Case 76674 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was out on a bike ride on his Harley Davidson beginning at about 9:30 p.m. ending up in the town of Ludington at 10:55 p.m. at a bridge over the Sable River where he parked for a cigarette.
Witness illustration. (Credit: MUFON)
“I took a puff off my smoke and looked up to see it,” the witness stated.“It was large and broad, moving east down the lakeshore over the water. It was dull and darkand triangular in shape. The underside didn’t seem to be lit, but it had some reddish and bluish lights at its point and midway down the side. It seemed to be a half-mile out or so.”
The witness watched the object moving over the water and then it seemed to stop.
Witness illustration. (Credit: MUFON)
“The only other lights able to be seen in the direction of the object were the coastal lights that are Butterville and the Ludington light house beam. No other vehicles were around. I quickly shifted into gear and took off. I was twisting the throttle hard trying to bridge the distance between us fast. I was in top gear going about 80 to 90 mph as wind drifts the sand over the road and it can be hazardous. I wanted to go faster, but didn’t dare.”
The witness continued to watch the object.
Witness illustration. (Credit: MUFON)
“It’s like it just hung there, waiting. It then shot north over the road and hung there. I panicked, slowing to a stop. It looked to be a half-mile to a mile up above the ground. It hovered there for at least three minutes and then shot straight up over to the south and then disappeared. I recall the lights seemed to rotate while it waited.”
The witness included three illustrations with the MUFON report, which was filed on May 29, 2016. Michigan Chief Investigator Daniel Snow is investigating. 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.

10 Mile UFO Seen Moving Across Earth From Space Station, June 8, 2016, UFO Sightings Daily.
Date of sighting: June 8, 2016 Location of sighting: Earths orbit While watching the NASA live cam, I noticed a white disk moving over the Earth at a higher than normal altitude. This UFO does have a cloud-like appearance, yet is a perfect disk that is 7-10 miles in diameter. The cloud appearance is the perfect illusion to hide behind. Who would possible question that a cloud is anything other than a cloud...except me of course. My decades of experience and my in depth research into past sightings has taught me that not all cloud are clouds. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com

FIRE IN THE SKY! Strange "Burning" UFOs Seen Across The World 6/8/16, Video, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: June 8, 2016 Location of sighting: Varnin, Bulgaria This is some amazing footage from Bulgaria. SecureTeam10 talks about the relation between this footage and others seen around the world. Its true that one of the most common types of UFOs seen is glowing balls of light. My own personal experience in the USAF was of similar balls of light that were bigger than the B1 bombers I worked on and over 25...back in 1989-1990 Rapid City, SD. So, yeah, I have experience with them, how they move, how they leave, even the sounds we heard them make...like a wooden cart dragged along a cobblestone road. Scott C.

Plan to Turn Asteroids Into Spaceships Could Spur Off-Earth Mining
Plan to Turn Asteroids Into Spaceships Could Spur Off-Earth Mining

A few decades from now, asteroids may be flying themselves to mining outposts in space, nobly sacrificing their abundant resources to help open the final frontier to humanity.
That's the vision of California-based company Made In Space, which was recently awarded NASA funding to investigate how to turn asteroids into giant, autonomous spacecraft.
The project, known as RAMA (Reconstituting Asteroids into Mechanical Automata), is part of Made In Space's long-term plan to enable space colonization by helping make off-Earth manufacturing efficient and economically viable. [How Asteroid Mining Could Work (Infographic)]
"Today, we have the ability to bring resources from Earth," Made In Space co-founder and chief technology officer Jason Dunn told Space.com. "But when we get to a tipping point where we need the resources in space, then the question becomes, 'Where do they come from and how do we get them, and how do we deliver them to the location that we need?' This is a way to do it."

Made In Space's idea involves sending an advanced, robotic "Seed Craft" out to rendezvous with a succession of near-Earth asteroids in space.
The Seed Craft would harvest material from the space rocks, then use this feedstock to construct propulsion, navigation, energy-storage and other key systems onsite with the aid of 3D printing and other technologies. (Made In Space has considerable 3D-printing expertise; the company built the two 3D printers that were installed aboard the International Space Station in the past year and a half.)
Thus transformed into autonomous spacecraft, the asteroids could be programmed to fly to a mining station in Earth-moon space, or anywhere else they were needed. This approach would be much more efficient than launching a new capture probe (or probes) to every single space rock targeted for resource exploitation, Made In Space representatives said.
The converted asteroids wouldn't resemble the traditional idea of spacecraft, with rocket engines and complex electronic circuitry. Rather, everything would be mechanical and relatively primitive.
For example, the computer would be analog, akin, perhaps, to the Antikythera mechanism invented by the ancient Greeks to chart the motion of heavenly bodies, Dunn said. And the propulsion system might be some sort of catapult that launches boulders or other material off the asteroid in a controlled way, thereby pushing the space rock in the opposite direction (as described by Newton's Third Law of Motion), he added.
"At the end of the day, the thing that we want the asteroid to be is technology that has existed for a long time. The question is, 'Can we convert an asteroid into that technology at some point in the future?'" Dunn said. "We think the answer is yes."
Project RAMA is not starting from scratch. Autonomous 3D printers that use mechanically driven systems already exist, Dunn noted, as do mechanical computers made of 3D-printed parts.
Still, making it happen will require significant advances in a number of areas, including in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) — the art of living off the land. Made In Space is counting on NASA to push ISRU technology forward, Dunn said. (Advanced ISRU tech will be vital for supporting astronauts on Mars and other off-Earth outposts, NASA officials have said.) [What Technology Will Humans Need to Explore Mars? (Video)]
Asteroid Basics:
Asteroids are fascinating for lots of reasons. They contain a variety of valuable resources and slam into our planet on a regular basis, occasionally snuffing out most of Earth's lifeforms. How much do you know about space rocks?
Early days yet
Made In Space's larger vision won't be realized for a while, because RAMA is still in the very early stages.
In April, the project received a Phase 1 grant from the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program, which aims to encourage the development of potentially revolutionary space-exploration technologies.
Phase 1 NIAC awardees get $100,000 for nine months' worth of initial feasibility studies. (Recipients can then apply for a Phase 2 NIAC award, which is worth about $500,000 and funds two years of further concept development.)
Any discussion of Project RAMA timelines is therefore incredibly speculative, Dunn stressed. Still, he estimated that the effort might require 20 years or so of technology development and other work. If that's the case, the first Seed Craft may get off the ground in the late 2030s — perhaps just as asteroid-mining and off-Earth manufacturing are coming into their own.
"The anticipation is that the RAMA architecture is a long time line, and when it becomes capable is about the same time that people really need the resources," Dunn said.
Project RAMA could also have applications here on Earth, he added, saying that machines similar to Seed Craft could do a variety of jobs around the planet.
"You could build infrastructure in remote locations somewhat autonomously, and convert resources into useful devices and mechanical machines," Dunn said. "This actually could solve some pretty big problems on Earth, from housing to construction of things that make people's lives better."
Rosetta's adventures are not over yet; recent events include taking pictures of a very dusty area, going into safe mode and zooming into a higher orbit above the comet. Here are some of the highlights of the past few weeks:
1. A Dusty Environment
Rosetta was about 20 kilometers from Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko when it took this image on June 1.

In this spooky image from Rosetta, you can see lots of dust flying off the comet. The dust is very apparent close up, but in March officials discovered that the dust trail expands away from the comet for an incredible 10 million kilometers (6 million miles).
"The long trail is made up of larger grains left behind in the orbit of the comet, probably from several previous passages of the comet around the sun," ESA wrote at the time. "When the Earth passes through similar dust trails from other comets it gives rise to meteor showers. Unfortunately this won't happen with 67P/C-G, as the orbit does not approach our planet."
2. Carrying the Solar System's History

Scientists have hoped that Rosetta will show us a few things about the solar system's formation, such as if comets of its type brought water to Earth (the short answer is no) and what kind of life-bearing molecules could be on its surface. In late May, scientists announced that they had found the amino acid glycine, which they said is common in proteins and phosphorous (part of DNA and cell membranes).
It's the first time that glycine has been definitively found on a comet; while the Stardust mission found the amino acid in Comet Wild-2, those samples were suspected of contamination upon return to Earth.
"We see a strong link between glycine and dust, suggesting that it is probably released perhaps with other volatiles from the icy mantles of the dust grains once they have warmed up in the coma," said Kathrin Altwegg, principal investigator of the ROSINA instrument that detected the gylcine, in a statement.
3. Going into Safe Mode, and Out Again

Because Rosetta is experiencing such a dusty environment, from time to time unexpected things happen. Among them was when the spacecrafttripped into "safe mode" on May 28 because it confused the dust with stars, which it uses for navigation. The spacecraft lost contact with Earth for about 24 hours, but the team was able to recover it by sending commands.
Controllers spent a few days making sure that the spacecraft was okay, which included waiting to turn the science instruments back on from their automatic shutdown. By June 2, Rosetta was well on its way to normal operations, with the science instruments on and an orbital maneuver set to go.
4. Into the Black
Rosetta continues to produce stunning imagery after nearly two years at the comet.

At roughly 670 days into its mission, Rosetta continues to produce amazing imagery of its comet -- such as this one focusing on the "neck" region (in shadow), when the spacecraft was roughly 8 kilometers away from the nucleus. As of this week, the spacecraft is now zooming to a 30 kilometer orbit from its previous orbit of five kilometers.
Rosetta's other recent findings include uncovering clathrates (a crystalline type of ice). It is believed that if Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is covered with ices of this type, it could have formed from ice fragments closer to the sun.
5. Asking the Public For Help

Since Rosetta arrived at Comet 67P/Chruymov-Gerasimenko, more than 20,000 images have been posted for public consumption. In a request to use the wisdom of the crowd, officials are now asking that if the public sees anything changing on the comet's surface, they submit their ideas to this web page for possible future blog posts.
"Do remember to be cautious when comparing images of the same region that have been taken under varying illumination conditions, or from different distances and therefore have a different scale – this can sometimes lead to mistaken identification," ESA wrote.
