Researchers find mystery object that outshines entire Milky Way Galaxy by 50 times
Researchers find mystery object that outshines entire Milky Way Galaxy by 50 times
Recently, a mysterious object flared to life and left scientists in awe. It outshines our entire galaxy by FIFTY times, and to date, astronomers are not sure what it is.
Astronomers are not really sure what the mysterious object, that outshines our Milky Way Galaxy by fifty times actually is. While many suspect that the object is, in fact, the result of superluminous supernovae, making it the most powerful one ever seen, there is still a bit of skepticism in the scientific community.
Scientists believe that this discovery “may lead to new thinking and new observations of the whole class of superluminous supernova.” (Source)
It was way back in June 2015 that researchers spotted a ‘ball of hot gas’ located BILLIONS of light years away from our sun. It was radiating with a staggering energy of HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of suns.
Researchers have been left in awe. At its heart, researchers have identified an object believed to be some 10 miles across. The object is known as ASAS-SN-15lh and is twice as luminous as any other object previously identified by astronomers. (ASAS-SN is the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae)
It is also far brighter than an ordinary supernova, but it happens to outside our galaxy, the Milky Way by FIFTY TIMES!
Todd Thompson, a professor of astronomy at Ohio State, explained that if this is, in fact, a magnetar, it would have to spin at least 1,000 times in a second, converting the rotational energy to light with nearly 100 percent of efficiency. It would be the most extreme example of a magnetar that scientists believe is physically possible in our universe.
Now scientists are guessing what the object might be. Initial studies reveal that the object at the center could be a sort of extremely rare Star, referred to by astronomers as a millisecond MAGNETAR. However, this one is so powerful that it pushes the energy limits proposed by conventional physics. A millisecond magnetar is a rapidly spinning and dense star with an extremely powerful magnetic field. (Source)
This fascinating object cannot be seen with the naked eye due to the fact that it is located nearly four billion light years from Earth. However, the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae is able to detect bright objects in our universe that other telescopes cannot.
Since 2014, ASAS-SN has found 250 supernovae. However, none of them are even close to ASAS-SN-15lh. The explosion that fueled ASAS-SN-15lh was 200 times more powerful than an average supernova. It is 570 BILLION times brighter than our Sun, and it was 20 times more luminous than ALL the STARS in our galaxy combined.
“We have to ask, how is that even possible?” said Krzysztof Stanek, professor of astronomy at Ohio State. “It takes a lot of energy to shine that bright and that energy has to come from somewhere.” (Source)
“The honest answer is at this point that we do not know what could be the power source for ASASSN-15lh,” said Subo Dong, lead author of the Science paper and a Youth Qianren Research Professor of Astronomy at the Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics at Peking University. He added that the discovery “may lead to new thinking and new observations of the whole class of superluminous supernova.” (Source)
The Lost Civilization of Atlantis: Buried beneath the Ice of Antarctica
The Lost Civilization of Atlantis: Buried beneath the Ice of Antarctica
Using the nuclear dating method of Dr. W.D. Urry. from the Carnegie Institution in Washington D.C., scientists discovered that Antarctica’s rivers, sources of fine-dispersed deposits, were flowing as depicted on The Orontius Finaeus map, about 6,000 years ago. About 4000 years B. C., glacial sediments started to accumulate.
Is it possible that the lost civilization of Atlantis is buried beneath the Ice of Antarctica?
Antarctica and Atlantis are two words commonly used in the same phrase. It’s not a mystery that many people firmly believe that Atlantis did, in fact, exist on Earth, and Antartica might just be the right place where we should search for Atlantis.
But while Plato was the first to write about the lost city-continent of Atlantis, its noteworthy to mention that many Native American legends are reminiscent of what Plato sustained in the distant past, reinforcing suspicion that Atlantis could have existed.
The legends of Native Americans come from different cultures separated by vast distances and isolated from one another. However, all of them tell a similar story of a once fallen civilization that existed in the distant past. In Central America, this ancient culture lived in Aztlan. According to legends, Aztlan was located to the south, on a white island and perished without warning as a result of natural catastrophic events. Many researchers maintain that Aztlan means “place of whiteness.” This is why it has commonly been connected to Atlantis and Antarctica, suggesting that Aztlan might have been the mythical Atlantis, the mythical place located to the south.

It is said that after the catastrophic events, the survivors of Atlantis fled to different continents where their ancient civilization ultimately merged with others and disappeared.
Skeptics will rush to discredit any theory linking Atlantis to Antarctica mostly because Antarctica today is a completely inhospitable and frozen environment where civilizations could not flourish. However, in remote antiquity most of Antarctica was hospitable. Proof of that is a number is enigmatic and ancient maps that depict the continent of Antarctica free of Ice. The most famous cartographical chart is without a doubt the famous Piri-Reis map, drawn by an admiral who served in the Navy of the Ancient Ottoman Empire.
Interestingly, the Piri Reis map was based on a number of even older maps which accurately trace the coastline of Antarctica WITHOUT the layer of ice that covers it today. This indicates clearly that whoever had the technology and ability to survey the continent of Antarctica must have done so thousands of years ago before the continent was frozen.
But how can a continent located to the south be free of Ice? Well, it turns out that Antarctica wasn’t always located where it is today. In fact, in the distant past, the continent of Antarctica wasn’t located at the South Pile, but instead somewhere between it and the Equator of our planet. This means that Antarctica was located farther north and experienced a tropical or temperate climate, meaning that it was covered in forests, and inhabited by various ancient life forms. What does this mean? Well… given the little we know about the life on our planet in the distant past, it is likely that people might have lived on this now, icy continent and developed as a society just like people did in Africa, Europe, and Asia.
ut how was this even possible? Thanks to a scientific theory called crustal displacement.
According to mainstream scholars, and the theory of continental drift, the crust of our planet is in fact divided into several tectonic plates that literally ‘float’ over a molted inner layer, Over the ages, these plates slowly bump against one another.
However, the theory of crustal displacement which expands the theory of continental drift, approximately every 40,000 years, the entire crust of our planet shifts as a single unit. After each ‘shift’ all the land masses on our planet, including entire continents are relocated to a new position on the planet.
Many researchers believed that this happened the last time around 10,000 B.C. and caused the continent of Antarctica to move from its position near the equator to its current position, on top of the South Pole.
“I still find the idea that Antarctica was once forested absolutely mind-boggling”,
“We take it for granted that Antarctica has always been a frozen wilderness, but the ice caps only appeared relatively recently in geological history,” told Jane Francis of the University of Leeds.
Today, Antarctica is composed of around ninety-eight percent ice which is over a kilometer thick. So imagine, if in the distant past, ancient people inhabited Antarctica when it was covered with vegetation and forests, all of their “heritage” is now buried under a thick layer of ice. Even though it is uninhabitable today and only scientists venture out to Antarctica, in the distant past it might have been the perfect place for an ancient civilization to develop.
Interestingly, according to reports from Pravda.ru:
In 1949, Admiral Baird’s expedition bore holes into the Ross Sea in three spots, where Orontius Finaeus marked river-beds. In the cuts, fine-grained layers were found, obviously brought to the sea with rivers whose sources were situated in temperate latitudes (i.e. free of glaciers).The samples were taken from three different locations. 70 deg. 17′ S 178 deg. 15′ W 2,990 M deep, 69 deg. 12′ S 180 deg. S. at 3,130 M. deep, 68 deg. 26′ S 179 deg. 15’W at 3,292 M. deep. (1)
The fine-grained sediment that was found is the sort that is carried by rivers from ice-free continents. Also during the Byrd expedition of 1935 geologists made a rich discovery of fossils on the sides of Mount Weaver (Lat. 86 deg. 58’S) which included leaf and stem impressions and fossilized wood. In 1952 they identified two species of a tree fern called Glossopteris once common to southern continents (Africa, South America, and Australia.)
Core samples taken from the Ross Sea during the Byrd expedition of 1947-1948 shows glacial marine sediment from the present to 6000 years ago. From 6,000 to 15,000 the sediment is fine-grained suggests an absence of ice from the area. Then there is a zone fine-grained sediment from 30,000 to 40,000 years ago, again suggesting that the area was ice free. From 40,000 to 133,550 years ago there are two zones of coarse and two zones of medium-grained texture. While comparing the three samples, two of them show that the end of the temperate period and the beginning of the most recent glacial period started 6,000 years ago and the third just 1,000 years after that. So Antarctica has had recent period of temperate climate. (Source) (Source)
All of this points to the undeniable fact that sometime between the 4th and 12th millennium B.C, there was an extremely advanced civilization on Earth, with great knowledge of navigation, cartography, and astronomy. Their technological advancements were way ahead of other cultures that would appear after them. This ‘lost’ civilization, most definitely preceded our modern civilization by tens of thousands of years. And many people firmly believe that this civilization could have been Atlantis, and evidence of their existence will be found beneath the thick layers of ice that currently cover the continent of Antarctica.
3 ‘Forbidden Archaeology’ Discoveries that PROVE history is Wrong
3 ‘Forbidden Archaeology’ Discoveries that PROVE history is Wrong
The number of artifacts that have been discovered in the last couple of decades, contradicting history are countless. Each discovery proves how ingenious ancient civilizations were thousands of years ago, and that history as we have been taught in history books is full of missing parts.
We have come to understand that the historic picture behind the origin of mankind and civilization is completely wrong.
From numerous discoveries –which have been ignored by mainstream scholars—we have come to understand that mankind knew the Earth was round even before we believed it was flat. We know that Columbus didn’t discover America and that countless civilizations predate the ancient Aztecs, Maya, and Inca.
However, for a reason most of us cannot comprehend, history books were never corrected. Tesla is nowhere to be found in history textbooks even though his inventions have brought civilization to the point where we stand today.
We know that religious dogmas are incorrect and that mankind has been on Earth for hundreds of thousands of years, even before we knew what religion was. We know that ancient civilizations were interconnected thousands of years ago and that some of them, like the ancient Egyptians and other predating them, were most likely capable of interoceanic voyages.
n this article, we take a look at three discoveries that have been tagged as Forbidden Archaeology by many people. These discoveries tell a story that firmly contradicts our history books and mainstream archaeological views.
The Fuente Magna Bowl
One of the most important discoveries which contradicts numerous mainstream theories is the Fuente Magna Bowl discovered in South America.This controversial artifact was discovered near Tiahuanaco (Tiahuanaco is probably the greatest Native American civilization that many people haven’t heard of) and Lake Titicaca by a local farmer in the 1950’s.
Written onto the mystery bowl is sSumerian Cuneiform and Proto-Sumerian hieroglyphs. This is CRAZY! Why? Because according to researchers, Sumerians and the ancient people who inhabited Tiahuanaco and Puma Punku were never connected. So how come Sumerian cuneiform and Proto-Sumerian hieroglyphs are all over the Fuente Magna Bowl?
Today many people believe that the Fuente Magna Bowl was most likely created by Sumerians who settled in Bolivia sometime after 2500 BC, which totally contradicts modern day archaeology and history which claims that these ancient civilizations were never connected.
Numerous mysteries about the Fuente Magna Bowl remain even today, and this enigmatic piece of ancient history has become one of the most controversial subjects among researchers today.
A 30-centimeter long finger
This enigmatic object was discovered in Egypt, and according to reports, its real and even has a certificate of authenticity and X-Ray images. The image in this article was taken in 1988 and published by one of Europe’s leading newspaper, BILD.de.
The object is a huge, mummified humanoid finger of 30 centimeters in length. Researchers from Egypt believe it had to belong to a creäture that was over 5 meters height. Researchers have had mixed feelings when it comes to this mysterious ancient relic. The biggest problem is that the finger does not fit into any conventional theories presented by archaeologists or historians. Simply put, it is impossible. Forbidden archeology?
Located in Australia, at the Brisbane Water National Park, Kariong, researchers have discovered numerous hieroglyphs which shatter mainstream history and patterns. It is another discovery that according to many scholars is impossible and must, therefore, be a hoax.
However, the truth behind the enigmatic ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs in Australia is fascinating.
Not only do many researchers believe these glyphs are authentic, the scribes accurately used several ancient hieroglyphs and ‘grammatical’ variations which, crucially, were not even documented in Egyptian hieroglyphic until recent times.
Interestingly, scholars managed to translate the hieroglyphs and not only are they authentic, the scribes accurately used several ancient hieroglyphs and ‘grammatical’ variations which, crucially, were not even documented in Egyptian hieroglyphic texts until 2012.
The truth about the Illuminati and their influence on society
The truth about the Illuminati and their influence on society
How much do we know about the Illuminati? Are they a real group that exists even today? Or are they the result of complex ideas that have given birth to numerous articles, books, and films about them?
The Illuminati are one of the largest sources of fantasy, controversy, modern mythology, conspiracy theories and debates around the world. People had become more interested in the mysteries behind this secret group in recent decades when numerous articles started flooding the internet, talking about the Illuminati, their secret organization and ultimate plans for humanity. Marketing has done an excellent job of promoting an ‘ideology’ that has been confused as a reality by many people.
The final goal of the Illuminati is to control society in every possible way, and they are often linked to war and political conflicts around the world. Some have even connected them to terrorist attacks such as those at the Word Trade Center, and the Assassination of JFK.
Prominent figures in society like Pope Francis and singers like Beyoncé, Jay-Z among others are often said to be part of this secret group. However, actual evidence linking anyone to them has never been discovered, and most people believe information that delicate will never leak to the press. However, there are those who believe in their official goal: to oppose superstition, obscurantism, religious influence over public life and abuses of state power.
But, is this secret group real? Do they actually exist and rule the world in the background while society remains unaware of their presence? Well, the so-called ‘order of the Illuminati’ was founded in 1776 in Bavaria, Germany. Illuminati is the plural of Latin illuminatus, which means enlightened.
This secret group was founded by Jurist Adam Weishaupt on May 1st in Bavaria. The group’s structure was based on the orders of the Masonic iconography using many symbols for aesthetic purposes linked to the world of the occult, as the staff, the obelisk, and the “all-seeing eye.”
The Illuminati were outlawed in 1785 by Prince Karl Theodor and dissolved. However, authors such as Agustin Barruel, Nesta H. Webster, and William Guy Carr warned that the organization could have continued to operate clandestinely after its dissolution, and have participation in events like the French Revolution or the Bolshevik Revolution. Many people believe that they continue operating illegally even today, and have expanded their influence all across the world. Interestingly, modern historians have even proposed that the founding fathers of the United States of America were part of the Illuminati. Contemporary historian Mitch Horowitz believes that today, the Illuminati are just an empty place where citizens put their concerns about the actual functioning of economic and political powers which dominate in the world.
While millions of people consider that this secret group is, in fact, real, and continues to operate behind our backs, in the shadows. Moreover, there are others who firmly believe that the Illuminati are nothing more than made up stories based on a small group that was founded in the 1770’s but quickly dissolved afterward.
In the 21st century, looking back at history, we will find that the Illuminati have gained extreme popularity due to numerous novels, books and films being published and filmed based on their history.
Whether or not the Illuminati are more than just an idea created by modern society is something up for debate since evidence of their existence is nearly impossible to find.
The Great Pyramid of China: The Largest and oldest Pyramid on the planet?
The Great Pyramid of China: The Largest and oldest Pyramid on the planet?
The story behind the Great Pyramid of China is beyond fascinating. For years, the government has not allowed proper studies to be performed on the numerous pyramids near the city of Xi’an.
Excursions that managed to sneak into the area where the pyramids are, discovered numerous anomalies like a metallic material which could not be identified by researchers. The Pyramids are believed to be over 8,000 years old.
Are the Pyramid of China among the largest on the planet? According to many, one of the Pyramids –kept a secret for years—in China is so large that the Great Pyramid of Giza seems like a miniature monument.
The story of the Chinese pyramid began at the end of the Second World War when American pilot James Gaussman was about to complete a resupply mission to the forces of the Chinese Army.
Suddenly, a fault in the aircraft engine forced him to return to the Assam base located in northern India, for safety reasons, he decided to fly at a lower altitude.
Shortly after flying over the city of Xi’an, heading southwest, the pilot encountered what looked like a gigantic pyramid
Surprised, after making several passes over the humongous structure, he decided to take a number of photographs, which later included a detailed report which were handed to his superiors as soon as he returned to base.
The incident was forgotten among the files of the US Air Force until 40 years later, the ‘Great Pyramid of China’ was brought back to light through the work of Australian writer Brian Crowley, who published one of the photographs of the Pyramid in his book.
As a result, it was known that this wasn’t the first time pilots saw the humongous Chinese Pyramid. In fact, during March 147, when the war was already over, the New York Times published an article making reference to the sighting made by Col. Maurice Sheehan from his plane, when he flew over a gigantic pyramid, described by Col. Maurice Sheehan as having approximate dimensions of 300 meters in height and 450 meters on each side.
It is noteworthy to mention that these dimensions would make the Chinese Pyramid the largest one ever discovered on Earth, dwarfing the Great Pyramid of Giza with a mere 147 meters in height and 320 meters in width
Even more fascinating is the fact that the Great Pyramid of Egypt has around 52,900 square meters, the ‘Great Pyramid of China’ exceeds the number with a staggering 202,000 square meters.
Over the years, numerous pilots claimed to have observed gigantic Pyramids in China, and there is a great amount of images, taken by pilots and satellites which support the existence ef the mysterious structures in Asia.
However, inexplicably, the Chinese authorities have rejected the existence of such monuments.
In the early twentieth century, explorers and traders, like German citizens Frederick Schroeder and Oscar Maman, have testified to the presence of not only one, but several pyramids located around the Chinese city of Xi’an.
But the mystery behind the Pyramid of China is even more fascinating. According to reports, numerous European excursions managed to take samples of objects and metals around the Pyramids of China. Analysis showed that these structures could be well over 8,000 years old, but the most fascinating detail isn’t the age of the Pyramids: Interestingly, the metallic material present at the Pyramids has not been identified so far; since it is made out of materials that are unknown to modern science.
(VIDEO) Alien Bases on the Moon: NASA Whistleblower reveals existence of alien lunar structures
(VIDEO) Alien Bases on the Moon: NASA Whistleblower reveals existence of alien lunar structures
Another NASA Whistleblower has presented a number of images taken by NASA’s Apollo mission Astronauts which show what seem to be extraterrestrial bases on the surface of the moon.
Old Apollo mission images fro a NASA whistleblower’s private collection are believed to contain the ultimate proof of Alien bases on the surface of Earth’s moon.
The images come from the private collection of Ken Johnston, who was a former avionics technician who worked with a number of NASA contractors during the Apollo missions. During his time at NASA working on the Apollo missions, he came across a number of images taken by NASA astronauts during the Apollo missions to the moon which show what seem to be alien bases on the surface.
According to UFO hunters over at Mars Moon Space TV, a video uploaded earlier this month shows a recently released cache of old Apollo images which seem to show Alien bases on the surface of the moon. Ken Johnston is well known among UFO hunters as believed to be one of the most important ‘NASA whistleblowers’ who has come forward with ‘evidence’ of alien activity on the Moon.
In the video uploaded by Mars Moon Space TV, Thomas Jensen speaks about one of the images released from Johnston’s collection which show: “What looks like a base on the moon with visible lights and structures.”
According to Richard Hoagland, who first saw Johnston’s image collection of the Apollo mission in 1995, NASA’s image technicians have been editing original images of the moon for decades in an effort to ‘brush out’ and delete alien structures which are scattered all across the moon. According to Hoagland and others who have managed to take a peek at the images, image scans of Johnston’s collection from the Apollo missions undoubtedly show alien structures on the surface of the Moon, which have been edited removed from publicly available images of the lunar surface.
However, not everyone seems to be convinced with these or other images of the lunar surface where ‘alien’ structures are seemingly present.
Regardless of what skeptics might think, Johnston revealed that he had been ‘ordered’ to destroy the original photos but decided to accept them. Many UFO researchers claim that the images were ordered to be destroyed since NASA does not want society to see any evidence of alien structures on the lunar surface.
In addition to Mars Moon Space TV, YouTube channel Secure Team 10 also featured Johnston’s Apollo mission images containing evidence of alien structures on the moon in one of their videos.
The images in black and white show the Apollo spacecraft flying over the lunar surface. Next to the spacecraft, on the lower left side of the image are mysterious bright spots on the lunar surface which are believed to be part of the alien bases.
According to many, the lights seen in the images appear to be arranged in such a way, suggesting that they are the product of intelligent design.
However, the images of Johnston’s private collection are not the only alleged evidence of alien structures on the moon.
One of the most famous images depicting alien structures on the moon come from NASA’s LCROSS mission to the moon. The main LCROSS mission objective was to explore the presence of water ice in a permanently shadowed crater near a lunar polar region. It was launched together with the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) on June 18, 2009, as part of the shared Lunar Precursor Robotic Program, the first American mission to the Moon in over ten years.
But similar mysterious lights from the lunar surface are present in many other images and videos. Not long ago SecureTeam 10 posted a very interesting video which proves there are a number of alien bases on the moon. To back up their claims, SecureTeam10 posted the coordinates of the towering structures on the Moon: 21° 4′ 2.23 N, 148° 39’12.30″ E. If you focus on the area, Ufo hunters claim three massive pillars are visible clearly casting a shadow on the surface of the moon.
Recently, a number of highly ranked government officials, former astronauts military personnel, and scientists have come forward speaking out about the UFO phenomenon and alien life.
“After traveling in space, I am fully confident that the aliens are watching us. I do not know how many, where and how they do it, but watching us; We see these ships at all times.” –Former astronaut Edgar Mitchell
Edwin Eugene Aldrin, Jr., aka ‘Buzz’ Aldrin, former American astronaut and engineer, has also spoken out about the UFO phenomenon. Buzz Aldrin was the Lunar Module Pilot during the Apollo 11 mission, and was one of the first two humans to land on the surface of the moon, and the second person to walk on it on July 21, 1969, at 03:15:16 UTC. Aldrin said that: “On Apollo 11 in route to the Moon, I observed a light out the window that appeared to be moving alongside us. There were many explanations of what that could be, other than another spacecraft from another country or another world.
Millions of people around the globe firmly believe that American astronauts saw and recorded “vestiges of human constructions of antiquity” on the moon and photographed some of the technological evidence found on the surface. After the astronauts brought back the images to Earth. Both of them have accused NASA of editing original pictures of the Moon and replacing them with fake images where the structures on the moon had been erased.
(VIDEO) Drone Footage Reveals Undeniable Evidence of UFO Activity on Our Planet
(VIDEO) Drone Footage Reveals Undeniable Evidence of UFO Activity on Our Planet
An unusual sighting has recently stirred up the entire UFO community who was on the lookout for more evidence of UFO activity on our planet. As a result, they stumbled upon one of the most interesting catches in recent months.
The moment a man takes his drone for a flight is market by a brisk event that almost ended up tragically…for his drone and budget. Concentrating on filming the nearby heavy storm clouds, Skwty Photography of YouTube accidentally surprises the very moment when a speeding UFO dashes next to his flying device, nearly impacting it.
The sighting is spectacular for various reasons:
The speed at which it travels is beyond that of any flying device this size designed by our human intelligence. It can only be compared to a projectile, but as you are about to see, there is more than one such appearance.
The first hasty UFO darts from the ground, almost like being launched by something. It’s not aimed at the drone, but a second object passes by in close proximity.
The second UFO sprints from the nearby cloud and barely misses the drone, a behavior similar to that of an otherworldly device that would scan an intruder trespassing its flying perimeter.
Theories suggest a possible baseball ball thrown off the pitch, or even a sneaky golf ball from a nearby field. After all, what would be better than downing drones in your spare time using only a golf club and your aiming skills?
Others have suggested that it could be a consistent chunk of hail coming from the storm clouds found in the vicinity. This would explain the brightness, size and color but not the fact that first UFO originates from the ground, and the same goes for the chance of it being a meteorite.
So what are these mysterious UFOs? Missiles? Rocketing ice? Or something more out of this world?
To better identify the phenomenon, we’ll have to set the dust off the archives and see if similar sightings had ever been recorded. First reminder comes from a reddit user who recalls witnessing a comparable event.
“ a few years ago I was standing by the ocean in Newfoundland on a normal bright sunny day and I thought I saw something like this shoot out of the water. It was maybe a few inches long like this, white and just flew so fast I couldn’t track it,” Greg Hortall wrote on reddit.
“I remember my first thought was that it was a flying fish – but then it kept going in the direction of the sky an impossible speed. It happened so quickly that I thought I was seeing things. My thought later was maybe there’s some kind of a living thing that is so small and moves so quickly, humanity hasn’t “discovered” it yet. Problem with that is, where are the remains when it dies. If it is of alien origin, you’d have to think it would be a good way to survey a planet – send out a few dozen of these tiny things to whip around and measure/capture/photograph everything, and the locals would have no idea.”
And speaking of hidden things, these intriguing little buzzers were captured on film a few years ago. At that time however, they came out of a larger sphere dubbed the ‘orb UFO’. Mr. Crow of YouTube suggested they could be super-intelligent robots that monitor human activity on planet Earth, or even AI morphing devices, but further proof of their existence lacked in the period that followed.
Could these two cases be related? Are these bright projectiles coming from orb UFOs? Are we being monitored by an advanced species of extraterrestrials that’s far beyond our level of understanding?
Two triangle UFOs reported at New Jersey tree top level
Two triangle UFOs reported at New Jersey tree top level
A New Jersey witness at Barnegat Light reported watching two triangle-shaped UFOs pass over at the tree top level that quickly moved west, according to testimony in Case 76757 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The UFO was moving at the tree top level over Barnegat, NJ.

The reporting witness and her boyfriend were outside barbecuing on a clear night on June 1, 2016.
“My boyfriend observed the object pass over the tree top with multiple colors, triangle shape, lights all around outside, very little to no noise,” the witness stated.
A second UFO was right behind the first as it moved overhead.

The two quickly saw a second object.
“The second object was the same, but only three lights – one on each corner, a little to no noise.Both objects headed west. Right over our heads. Thought was either a UFO or a new type of government craft. Did not have camera. Happened so fast.”

Did a giant species of aliens once exist on on Earth? Most defiantly, but its difficult to comprehend for sure. Many UFO reports have reported seeing 3-5 meter tall aliens existing landed craft. Its really quite extraordinary and also makes me realize that the size of objects change incredibly throughout this universe. For instance, back in about 2007-2008 when I wrote to William Rutledge (about 80 years old) of Apollo 20, he told me about the inside of the cigar ship in Deporte crater that he explored...inside were glass-like tubes along its walls with tiny 2cm skeletons littering its inside, yet the pilot was 5.5 feet tall (retrieved) and was attached with an umbilical cord to the craft from her nose and other areas. Size is relative. What are the limits? Life...has no limits. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
News states:
A giant African lake basin is providing information about possible migration routes and hunting practices of early humans in the Middle and Late Stone Age periods, between 150,000 and 10,000 years ago. Oxford University researchers have unearthed new evidence from the lake basin in Botswana that suggests that the region was once much drier at certain times and wetter at other times than it is today. They have documented thousands of stone tools on the lake bed, which sheds new light on how humans in Africa adapted to several substantial climate change events during the period that coincided with the last Ice Age in Europe. Researchers from the School of Geography and the Environment at the University of Oxford are surveying the now-dry basin of Lake Makgadikgadi in the Kalahari Desert, which at 66,000 square kilometres is about the same size of present day Lake Victoria. Their research was prompted by the discovery of the first of what are believed to be the world’s largest stone tools on the bed of the lake. Although the first find was made in the 1990s, the discovery of four giant axes has not been scientifically reported until now. Four giant stone hand axes, measuring over 30 cm long and of uncertain age, were recovered from the lake basin. Equally remarkable is that the dry lake floor where they were found is also littered with tens of thousands of other smaller stone-age tools and flakes, the researchers report. Professor David Thomas, Head of the School of Geography and the Environment at the University of Oxford, said: ‘Many of the tools were found on the dry lake floor, not around its edge, which challenges the view that big lakes were only attractive to humans when they were full of water. 'As water levels in the lake went down, or during times when they fluctuated seasonally, wild animals would have congregated round the resulting watering holes on the lake bed. It’s likely that early human populations would have seen this area as a prolific hunting ground when food resources in the region were more concentrated than at times when the regional climate was wetter and food was more plentiful and the lake was full of water.’ (More at source).

UFO Emerges From Cloud Over Port Angeles, Washington On June 4, 2016, Photos, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting:June 4, 2016 Location of sighting: Port Angeles, Washington, USA News source: MUFON #76808 UFOs that want to observe humanity need a place to hide, especially if the alien species doesn't look anything like us, because they can't just walk among us and blend it. So, some species observer from afar and use natures clouds to hide within. When no cloud cover exists, often they will make their own cloud. Incredible close and HD photo of a UFO in a cloud. This is also why if you are recording the sky, focus on the clouds and the edges of the clouds...thats where you will see them. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: While beachcombing w my gf in Poet Angeles, we observed a dark UFO emerge from a cloud over the harbor. We had been commenting on the oddness of the ling, thin, spirally dense cloud on a clear day, and were already photographing the cloud when the object emerged, as if on cue, "posed" as it were, for one shot then retreated back within the cloud.
Russia’s Deep Lakes Are Populated By a Race of Giant Underwater Humanoids
Russia’s Deep Lakes Are Populated By a Race of Giant Underwater Humanoids
Russia is home to a great number of mysteries, each one stranger than the other. The following case is no exception.
Although these particular events have been happening for thousands of years, our story begins in the 1930s, when a Russian researcher of the paranormal named Ilya Grabovsky was exploring strange happenings around Lake Issik Kul, a deep body of water located in the Northern Tian Shan Mountains. “Issik Kul” means “Warm Lake”, a reference to the fact that the lake never freezes, despite being surrounded by icy mountains.
Grabovsky had heard legends about hidden caves in the area so he contacted a local who had inadvertently stumbled into one. At first, the man was reluctant to describe his experience but the paranormal researcher eventually persuaded him to pass the knowledge. He told Grabovsky that he and his friends were fishing on the lake’s northwestern shore when they saw a cave. It was inaccessible so they resolved to return the next day with ropes, torches and pickaxes.
The following day, the men began exploring the cave and made a startling discovery inside its innermost sector. They discovered three human skeletons, each one measuring more than ten feet tall. Around their necks, each skeleton had a silver amulet in the shape of what the men described as “bats.” An interesting aspect, since there have been several reports describing UFOs of this particular shape, not just in Russia but also the rest of the world.
Even more intriguing is a local Kyrgyz legend that references a sunken city on the bottom of lake Issik Kul. The last ruler of the ancient city had been King Ossounes, a giant with “long ears.” The legend also mentions that Ossounes was able to fly between the mountain peaks “in the blink of an eye.”
This discovery frightened the men enough to keep silent about it for years, but not enough to leave the silver amulets behind. They melted the jewelry and sold the silver but kept a small fragment as a memento. No photograph of this fragment survived to this day but Grabovsky would later write that the Soviet scientists who got the chance to examine it were unable to determine its exact age.
Galvanized by the fisherman’s admission, Grabovsky decided to dig deeper into the mystery. Rummaging through local archives, he stumbled upon the earliest mention of similarly-gigantic creatures, dating back to the mid 1800’s. A group of Georgian boys (at that time, Georgia was part of the Russian Empire) were diving for mussels in Lake Issik Kul when they happened upon the underwater entrance to a cave inside the nearby mountain. As you probably guessed it, the cave was home to the last earthly remains of several giants. Despite his best efforts, Grabovsky never found this cave. Or maybe he did but kept silent. Either way, the official version is that he died without sharing the results of his work with the rest of the world. But this isn’t the end of the story.
In the early 1980’s, Lake Issik Kul became the go-to place for Soviet testing of torpedoes, underwater missiles and military diving equipment. It was also one of the places where the Soviet military conducted periodic training of the recon divers known as “frogmen.” Another location was the already infamous Lake Baikal.
In 1982, during a frogmen training exercise in Lake Baikal, the divers encountered a group of strange underwater swimmers. The aquatic humanoids were enormous (more than ten feet tall) and, despite swimming in frigid waters, they wore nothing but tight-fitting silver suits. Although the beings were spotted at a depth of over 150 feet, none of them wore anything resembling scuba gear. They only had sphere-like helmets concealing their heads.
Naturally, this encounter determined the Soviet military leaders to attempt an expedition to catch one or all of the underwater humanoids and a group of seven frogmen was assembled and dispatched to the area. Former Afghan War veteran and author Mark Shteynberg, who has extensively researched this case, recalls:
“As the frogmen tried to cover the creature with a net, the entire team was propelled out of the deep waters to the surface by a powerful force. Because autonomous equipment of the frogmen does not allow surfacing from such depths without strict adherence to the process of decompression stops, all of the members of the ill-fated expedition were stricken by aeroembolism, or the Caisson disease. The only remedial treatment available consisted of an immediate confinement under decompression conditions in a pressure chamber. They had several such pressure chambers in the military region, but only one in working condition. It could contain no more than two persons.
Those local commanders had forced four frogmen into the chamber. As a result, three of them (including the CO of the group) perished, and the rest became invalids.”
As a direct result of this incident, Major-General V. Demyanko, the Commander of the USSR Military Diver Service was flown in to the military base at Issik Kul to inform the local officers about the dangers of attempting to capture the giant underwater humanoids. This serves as evidence that the Soviet high command was well aware of the presence of such creatures in both Lake Baikal and Issik Kul. Would they have issued an order against their capture if the creatures weren’t a real presence?
Not long after that, the Engineer Forces of the Ministry of Defense issued a bulletin addressed to the staff headquarters of the Turkmenistan military region. The bulletin noted many other lakes where similar aquatic humanoid sightings had been reported, alongside the usual flying disks and spheres ascending from and diving into the deep. This leads us into believing the incidents at Lake Baikal and Issik Kul were not singular events, but rather expressions of a much wider phenomenon.
The veracity of this incident is supported by the admission of Russian writer Mikhail Demidenko. After becoming familiar with Shteynberg’s account in 1992, Demidenko remembered spending some time at Lake Baikal in the mid 1980’s, on an assignment from the USSR Union of Writers. It was there that Irkutsk fishermen told him how they saw Soviet divers being thrown out of the water and continuing their ascent to a height of 30-50 feet above the water surface. The fishermen didn’t know about the underwater humanoid episode and had been wondering why the Soviet military subjected their divers to such tests.
So, is this case definitive evidence that Russian lakes are home to a race of giant aquatic humanoids? Not nearly enough, because more palpable proof is needed. But the continuous existence of legends and the admissions of retired high-ranking military officials, such as Col. Vladimir Azhazha seem to suggest there is something lurking in the unexplored depths of our planet.
First-Ever Clear Image of an Exoplanet Located 14 Quadrillion Km Away Released by ESO
First-Ever Clear Image of an Exoplanet Located 14 Quadrillion Km Away Released by ESO
Using the combined power of an array of telescopes from different locations across the globe, ESO astronomers managed to capture the first clear image of an exoplanet located in a star system 11 quadrillion kilometers away from Earth.
Astronomers’ pursuit in finding exoplanets (new planets orbiting other stars) is realized with various methods. One method is direct imaging, which has proved to be successful so far, being effective especially for planets on wide orbits around young stars, because the light reflected from the planet is not eclipsed by light reflected from the host star, making it easier to spot the needle in the haystack.
The captured image confirms the efficiency of this technique, showing a T-Tauri star named CVSO 30, situated about 1200 light-years away from Earth, northwest of Orions Belt, in the 25 Orionis cluster.
CSVO 30 is believed to host one exoplanet called CVSO 30b, as of its discovery in 2012, by the means of transit photometry, a detection method which seeks the light from a star visibly dipping plummeting as a planet heads in front of it.
For the moment, astronomers observe the system with a number of telescopes, combining every piece of information acquired with ESO’s VLT (Very Large Telescope) in Chile, with the data collected from the W.M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii, and finally with data gathered from the Calar Alto Observatory facilities in Spain.
Using the centralized data from the three observational facilities, the astronomers now have a better and more defined point of view on what seems to be a second planet. To generate the image, astronomers made use of the astrometry provided by VLT’s NACO and SINFONI instruments.
CVSO 30C. EUROPEAN SOUTHERN OBSERVATORY
This new exoplanet entitled as CVSO 30c, is the small dot to the upper left of the frame, the massive blot being the star itself. While CVSO 30b orbits noticeably close to the star, revolving around CVSO 30 in less than 11 hours with an orbital distance of 0.008 au, CVSO 30c orbits considerably further away, at a distance of 660 au, requiring a mind-boggling 27,000 years to execute a single orbit. (For reference, the planet Mercury orbits the Sun at an average distance of 0.39 au, while Neptune sits at just over 30 au.)
“If it is confirmed that CVSO 30c orbits CVSO 30, this would be the first star system to host both a close-in exoplanet detected by the transit method and a far-out exoplanet detected by direct imaging,” ESO representatives wrote in a description of the new image.
“Astronomers are still exploring how such an exotic system came to form in such a short timeframe, as the star is only 2.5 million years old; it is possible that the two planets interacted at some point in the past, scattering off one another and settling in their current extreme orbits,” they added.
In a premiere event, ESO has imaged without prevarication a planet around its host star. Humans are now capable to directly render imagery of exoplanets, an achievement long targeted since the discovery of stellar wobbling that paved the way to the technique first used to detect planets around other stars.
With this discovery, it has become a certainty that new techniques and optics will be developed in order for us to continue the completion of the vast puzzle that is our visible and reachable universe.
Sooner that we expect, it will be possible to image satellites orbiting other planets. With an optical edge, it could also lead to the discovery of alien artifacts that now are undetectable by us. Only time will tell just how deep our knowledge and insight can become.
The Zombie Drake Equation – An Answer to Fermi’s Paradox?
The Zombie Drake Equation – An Answer to Fermi’s Paradox?
Two scientists offer a funny yet perceptive explanation as to why the aliens are being silent.
The scale of the visible universe is mind-boggling. Each galaxy is home to 100 billion stars and astronomers estimate there are at least one hundred billion galaxies out there, but this number is based on how big we think the universe is. For all we know, it could stretch on forever, so this number may very well jump from astronomical to downright inconceivable. But for now, let’s consider the universe a finite space measuring around 91 billion light-years across.
In the early 1960s, the extraterrestrial phenomenon had already gained traction with both the public and certain scientific circles. This prompted astrophysicist Frank Drake to attempt an educated guess at the number of advanced, active alien civilizations in our galaxy. Drake and his fellow astronomers came up with an equation that suggested there might be as little as one (us) civilization and as many as 100,000,000 in the Milky Way alone. And that was before we knew Earth-sized rocky planets were quite common.
Drake’s Equation gave way to an unprecedented wave of optimism in humanity’s search for alien life. Our hopes were further inflated by NASA’s recent announcement about the discovery of over 1,200 new Kepler exoplanets. But something just doesn’t add up. If there are is so much potential for extraterrestrial life to attain high levels of intelligence and technology, then where are all the aliens?
This conundrum is known as the Fermi Paradox and the video below explains it beautifully:
There are a number of counterarguments attempting to dismantle Fermi’s Paradox while an equal number of advocates support it. Out of the backing theories, one stands out in particular, because it has to do with zombies. Don’t ridicule us just yet, we’re dying (couldn’t help it) to explain.
Pop culture succeeded in instilling an obsession with zombie outbreak scenarios. Maybe this is because deep down, nothing scares us more than the prospect of witnessing our civilization crumble while humanity is reduced to an army of mindless vessels, their sole purpose being to spread the contamination even further. But while we sit here and emit cold-sweat hypotheses about zombiedom, two sane and respected scientists have written an interesting study that puts zombies, aliens and our own future on the same page.
Stephen Kane (of San Francisco State University and Center for Global Extinction Pandemic fame) teamed up with Franck Selsis from the Planetary Defense Institute, crunched some (still theoretical) numbers and presented a modified version of Drake’s Equation. They came to the conclusion that as many as 2,500 planets in our cosmic vicinity might have become zombie-infested, and that is why they fell silent.
We know life on Earth has been a never-ending battle between plants and animals on one side and the viruses and bacteria that call them home and food. Pandemics have come and gone, thinning various populations, sometimes to the point of extinction. At times, mankind was threatened by diseases like cholera, bubonic plague and influenza, but, thankfully, we haven’t been hit by what Kane and Selsis call Spontaneous Necro-Animation Psychosis, a.k.a. zombie-ism.
They theorize that SNAS has an undeniable potential to wreak havoc:
Spontaneous Necro-Animation Psychosis is undoubtedly the most dangerous viral condition to infect living organisms. The infectious nature of the condition is maximized by bestowing upon the host an insatiable desire to spread the virus at all costs. This ensures that it will spread quickly and, usually, uncontrollably.”
Although this disease is hypothetical, Selsis and Kane point out that such a condition could easily arise either as a result of natural evolution or genetic engineering gone awry. An alien civilization with a technological level comparable to our own is set to face the same peril and scientific models show there would be little chance of survival in the event of a planetary zombie outbreak.
Detailed modeling of various SNAP outbreak scenarios by Munz et al. (2009) have shown that human civilization would not only be unlikely to survive such an event but would collapse remarkably quickly.”
Fermi’s Paradox is built upon the alleged silence that surrounds us. If there are so many planets capable of supporting life and enough time for it to have evolved into intelligent civilizations, why haven’t we heard from them? However unlikely, Kane and Selsis’ necro-biological explanation for the Fermi Paradox is brilliant:
Our work here shows the resolution of the paradox to be quite simple. The desolation of a civilization requires only that they encounter a case of SNAP during their exploration phase and their entire civilization will collapse.”
The scientists go on to provide guidelines for future space explorers, urging them to avoid zombie-infected planets. But how could such planets be identified?
They stink.
It turns out planets that underwent total zombification would be pretty easy to single out, due to their atmospheric composition. In particular, the strong atmospheric presence of CO2, H2S, CH4, and NH3 will reveal those locations where massive amounts of death and decay have recently taken place.
The study concludes that ” there is a significantly non-zero probability that in the search for life in the universe we will also encounter large amounts of undeath” and that we should avoid zombie planets at all costs.
UFO Breakthrough: UK Alien files due out in weeks will prove Aliens visit Earth
UFO Breakthrough: UK Alien files due out in weeks will prove Aliens visit Earth
It seems that after all, a UFO Breakthrough is happening. Top-Secret UFO Files kept away by the MoD will soon be released detailing the mysterious encounter that happened over thirty years ago near the RAF Bentwaters base in the UK. UFO researchers believe these documents will prove once and for all that aliens have been visiting our planet for centuries.
The day has come for long-awaited British UFO files to be made available to the public. The documents will shed light on the mysterious Rendlesham mass UFO sightings.
Around 18 UFO-related documents were acknowledged last year when the UK’s ministry of defense admitted their existence.
In 2013, the Ministry of Defense made public all top-secret alien files. However, following the Freedom of Information Act requests, a number of addition documents were revealed.
According to website Genzwissenschaft-Aktuell.de, the new documents will be released to the public in August.
In reply to the enquiry by Genzwissenschaft-Aktuell editor Andreas Muller, the National Archives released a statement says they have: „been advised by our transfer team that they are currently in the process of finalising the listing for the records, which include the UFO files, and they are hopeful that the records will be transferred from the MoD to The National Archives within the next month.“
“Some of the files need to have their closure/access status agreed by the Advisory Council on Public Records, which meets in July, so the transfer team are looking at probably August before the records will be released to the public.”
Many Ufologists believe that the content of the classified documents are directly related to the December 1980 Rendlesham sightings –considered by mans as Britains very own Roswell sighting.
The Rendlesham sighting occurred when three US officers based at RAF Bentwaters, near Mildenhall, Suffolk, claimed a mysterious “triangular shaped craft” touched down in the woods near the base, in the early hours of December 26, 1980.
Colonel Charles Halt, the deputy commander at the time said that the officers who were sent out to investigate the lights discovered the mysterious craft ‘on the floor’ and could not account for a period of around forty minutes while scavenging the woods when their radios went offline.
The officers in question, John Burroughs, Bud Steffens, and James Penniston later said they felt a ‘static’ feeling as they observed the mysterious ‘Alien’ craft which had landed in the woods. They were able to see a number of strange hieroglyphs and flashing lights from the craft.
The team that investigated the mystery craft discovered three strange impact holes –beleived to have been left by the UFO as it landed—and damage to the canopies of the surrounding trees. They also discovered anomalous radiation levels at the site where the craft allegedly landed.
The Ministry of Defense investigated the sighting, but no substantial explanations were given.
The documents which will soon be released also include a number of reports from 1971-76, 1996-2000, and some as early as 2004.
Speaking to express.co.uk, Nick Pope ex-MoD, and UFO investigator said:
“Having seen and worked on many of these real life X-Files I’m pleased that they’re finally going to be released, and while the Official Secrets Act binds me for life, I’ll be able to say more about them once they’re in the public domain.
“I understand the frustration of the UFO community, who have been exasperated by the time it’s taking to declassify and release these files, and while I can’t promise a smoking gun, I know the contents will be of interest.
“The publication of these files will be particularly timely given the recent statements on this subject made by Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Scientists Admit there are Countless Alien Species Residing in the Cosmos
Scientists Admit there are Countless Alien Species Residing in the Cosmos
It appears that an abundance of alien species are residing in the Universe according to prominent figures of the 21st century, but we cannot find them because we are a young species unable to comprehend most of the universal laws. Will this however, change for the better in the near future?
The strong conviction in extraterrestrial life forms is a trait of intelligence and acceptance of the reality that the Universe did not grant only to us the gift of life and evolution.
Elon Musk, visionary entrepreneur and founder of the SpaceX program is part of those who not only strongly believe in the existence of alien civilizations, but his scientific projects are deeply rooted in mankinds’ aching desire for further exploration of the Universe and even the possibility of discovering the silent and watchful neighbours that we all suspect they exist even among us.
Elon Musk’s controversial viewpoint (and hope) have been raised as an article published in the New York Times by astrophysicist Adam Frank, headlined „Yes, There Have Been Aliens.”
The astrophysicists research suggests the plausible theory according to which we are not the first generation of intelligent civilizations on the pale blue dot. For humanity to be the only civilized species to have evolved along the billions of years since the birth of our planet, the probability for such a scenario should be astronomically small: less than one in 10 billion trillion.
This staggering statement leads us to two conclusions: either there are still living among us, countless alien species that managed to blend into our civilization, or they were all extinct from various causes, including a short life span.
Science clearly says there is a great chance that your last crush may be related to an ancient extraterrestrial species. If so, we all might share alien genes without us never knowing. Science never lies, only makes mistakes that turn into evolution, so either way it’s a win-win situation.
So, our star is not hosting its first generation of living beings capable of sending radio transmissions into space. Adam Frank’s research denoument is based on the Drake Equation which is not actually a mathematical equation, but more of a proposition series working as a guideline for any scientist looking for any piece of solid evidence of life in the universe.
Drake’s Equation looks very discouraging to even try to understand, for the mundane individual: N=R*fpneflfifcL.
Translated into individual parts, the formula consists of the following factors:
R* = star formation speed in our galaxy
fp = percentage of stars with planets
ne = the number of planets similar to earth, around each star has planets
fl = the number of earthlike planets that can evolve life
fi = the percentage of planets with life that can develop intelligent life
fc = the percentage of intelligent species that develop detectable technology by an outside similar civilization (i.e. radio transmissions)
L = the average number of years the advanced civilizations release detectable signals.
Multypling the two components of the equation with the length of time that advanced civilizations take to communicate reveals the total number of civilizations that have walked the same lands we are exploring today.
In spite of this comprehensive formula, it cannot be solved, at least until we can obtain exact values for each of these parts. This formula’s result can become achievable in a pretty distant future, but it takes a visionary mind to create an equation fit for a tremendously advanced civilization that will reject constructs like: border, war, money, poverty and mind slavery.
The next decade is extremely predisposed to reveal conclusive evidence of alien lifeforms on nearby exoplanets due to the rapid technological shift. The next generation of telescopes will peer deep inside the Milky Way and beyond, making the scenario of finding alien life in the near future extremely likely.
Only time will tell when and how we are going to encounter alien life forms, but instead of waiting for science to do our bidding, we should search our planet where there’s already plenty of traces of unexplained and unidentified phenomenon that, for most of us, already seems to be out of this world.
5 Strange Encounters With Insectoid Aliens and Ancient Mantis Gods
5 Strange Encounters With Insectoid Aliens and Ancient Mantis Gods
It’s probably bug week somewhere in the world so, in honor of this tradition, let’s take a look at the protagonists of some of the strangest alien encounters: the mantis or insectoid aliens.
Witness reports and abduction testimonials suggest there is a large variety of insectoid extraterrestrials keeping their compound eyes on us but one particular group stands out, both through physical appearance and place in the chain of command.
While the grey alien figure is commonly described by those who’ve been aboard an extraterrestrial craft, there is reason to suspect they aren’t actually the ones in charge. In some instances, abductees reported the presence of insect-like creatures overseeing or commanding the entire operation. Although insectoid aliens do not appear in the recollections of all abductees, it’s safe to assume that the creatures occupying the highest positions in the chain-of-command wouldn’t have to show their presence. The medical procedure can be performed by the lower echelon personnel, the short greys.
The most common description of an insectoid alien says they stand up to 9 feet tall and walk in a bipedal position. These beings have narrow faces with long, slanted eyes. Their thin, delicate torsos bring them one step closer to the Praying Mantis that lent them its name.
There are several theories trying explain the nature and origin of the mantis aliens. Some UFO researchers believe that the insect-like nature is a clue about their earthly origins. They cite the fact that insects have been around for a long time and they had plenty occasions to evolve into a sentient, and ultimately highly-intelligent life form. The oldest insect fossil is estimated to be over 400 million years old, giving these invertebrates ample time to become self-aware and a dominant life form. It’s been speculated that by the time the dinosaurs were wiped out during the Cretaceous – Paleogene extinction event, the insectoids had already achieved a technological level superior to our own. This allowed them to weather out the bad times in underground cities, where they continued evolving and experimenting. Some theorists even believe it was the insectoid aliens who engineered the reptilians by splicing their own DNA with that of the most intelligent dinosaurs living at that time.
Others disagree with this theory, claiming instead that mantis aliens evolved elsewhere in the universe, stumbling upon Earth millions of years ago and keeping their eyes on it ever since. This actually seems more plausible than the endemic to Earth mantis alien theory. After all, why would these insectoids abduct humans aboard their UFOs when they still operated underground facilities?
According to Amariah, a woman who has been in telepathic contact with Mantis beings, these aliens originated in the Sombrero Galaxy, a spiral galaxy three times smaller than our own Milky Way. It’s located approximately 28 million light-years from Earth, in the constellation of Virgo.
Amariah was told that Mantis beings evolved on an insect planet several hundred million years ago and were one of the first species in our universe to develop advanced self-awareness.
"They developed the use of tools but in unison they became highly sensitive to sound and light and its reflection in colors. They used this special heightened awareness and became highly advanced in the connection and use of frequencies to change their environment and to communicate with each other and their surroundings”
Another interesting glimpse into the world of mantis aliens is provided by artist and abductee David Huggins. He described many of his encounters with insectoid extraterrestrials and various other hybrids in a book called Love in an Alien Purgatory. As the title suggests, Huggins was involved in a lot of hybridization experiments aboard an extraterrestrial craft captained by a Mantis being that also oversaw all experiments.
Huggins claimed he was partnered with a personal hybrid named Crescent and was telepathically guided into having sexual intercourse with her, on multiple occasions. He also wrote that the Mantis Being behaved in a voyeuristic manner and was always present during the alien hanky panky time. Was this because he wanted to learn or simply because he desired to telepathically absorb the emotions the two experienced? Huggins was unable to provide an answer, but the Mantis’ continued presence showed that he wasn’t there on academic missions alone.
Further cementing the idea that the insectoid aliens are the ones in charge, Huggins recalled an episode when the hybrid females petitioned for him to be allowed to stay with them and not be returned to Earth. The Mantis Being firmly refused.
Not all witness reports paint the picture of a benevolent being. There are accounts that portray creatures of a violent nature, often attacking unprovoked. Below is the incident that riled “Jim”, a Londoner that had the unpleasant chance to deal with a group of curious insectoids:
“I woke up at about 2:30 in the morning to find a tall praying mantis looking being and a cloaked being by the side of my bed. I thought to myself “What crazy dream is this?” The cloaked being looked at me from beneath its hood, revealing its black skin, which appeared leathery and reflecting light much like a beetle’s skin. I shut my eyes, thinking this must be a realistic dream! But when I re-opened my eyes, the figures were unfortunately still there.”
Jim recalls being paralyzed with fear as the insectoid aliens used a metal object to shine a green light onto his eye and then his skull. The procedure was painful and traumatic and, even though it happened in 2001, Jim still gets the chills from time to time:
“I sometimes hear clicking sounds inside my head. I was in shock for a long while afterwards; I can say that this definitely happened, this definitely was real. I have no answers or conclusions but I think it’s important to get real life accounts out there. “
As strange as this incident might seem, there are others that involve regular physical attacks from insectoid aliens that materialize/dematerialize at will. In an interview with a former special ops warrior, UFO researcher Ted Twietmeyer noted the peculiarities of his encounter with mantis beings:
Ted: How have you been lately?
Jim2: I’m sick of this place and have to move.
Ted: Why?
Jim2: I’m just sick of the Insectoids. They have been mutilating and decapitating my horses. I’ve shot them outside but they keep coming. You don’t want to discharge any firearm indoors, so I use a machete and simply hack them to pieces.
Ted: So what happens to the bodies after that?
Jim2: It makes a mess that I have to clean up.
Ted: What about the bodies and body parts? What do you do with them?
Jim2: They just disappear. You can count to about 20 and they vanish.
Ted: What about the blood?
Jim2: Any blood that leaves their bodies stays behind.
Ted: What does your wife think of all this?
Jim2: She’s no longer shocked by it. Often when she comes home from work I’m mopping blood off the floor.
Ted: Is there anything else you’d like to add?
Jim2: I would add that I have always experienced a sudden awareness of their presence even if I can’t see them. The energy in the area where they appear seems different just before I can see them. It is the same feeling that I get just the same second as a large bolt of lighting gives me when there is a really bright flash near by.
Even stranger than the second Jim’s account is the one narrated by ufologist Joe Lewels, following his meeting with contactee Rebecca Grant.
In 1996, Grant told Lewels she had been nurturing a relationship with a mantis being she had nicknamed MU, short for Master of the Universe. The being told her that in about twenty years humanity will begin suffering the consequences of their ecological damage. MU told her “The human race is essentially, if not actually, extinct.” This message has been delivered before, but this was the first time it came from an alien bug creature claiming to rule the cosmos. But it doesn’t stop here.
When Lewels asked Grant to inquire whether MU had intervened in Earth’s history, she was given an outstanding answer. The Mantis Being identified himself with Jehovah, the ruthless god of the Ancient Israelites. Yes, the same one that caused the global flood and gave Moses the Stone Tablets of Law.
Like with any other extraterrestrial species, details surrounding the Mantis aliens are sometimes conflicting. But you have to remember most descriptions of insectoid extraterrestrials come from people who’ve suffered at their hands/pincers and recalling traumatic experiences can sometimes produce distorted memories. The same thing goes for hypnosis.
But let’s not get bogged down in details. If the grey aliens aren’t the ones running the show, perhaps it’s the insectoid aliens we should be worrying about. So stay safe and don’t walk into any tractor beams!
In the summer of 1984, six highly trained cosmonauts claimed to have had an unbelievable encounter with a group of gargantuan “celestial beings” of unknown origin in the star filled expanse above our world. Were these colossal beings the result of a mass delusion, a sign of something miraculous, or the heralds of unimaginable doom?
Scores of UFOs and other unidentified airborne objects have been spied by astronauts and their ilk since the earliest days of manned spaceflight. Major Gordon Cooper, Dr. Edgar Mitchell and dozens of other NASA and Russian space explorers harbor no doubt that the Earth is being visited and observed by non-human intelligences with access to technology far in advance of our own, but as fascinating as this phenomenon surely is, the bulk of these sightings pale before a bizarre series of encounters allegedly reported by cosmonauts aboard the Salyut 7 in July of 1984.
AVERTING THE APOCALYPSE
Since the dawn of the atomic age, the threat of global annihilation has hung over the collective heads of the human race like a radioactive Sword of Damocles.
Mercifully, the bitter rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union never manifested in the hellfire of nuclear holocaust that once seemed so inevitable, but for those of us who remember living under that horrific cloud of atomic anxiety a serious question remains: “Did we managed to dodge this apocalyptic bullet by chance or was there some kind of divine intervention?”
The series of events that occurred on the Salyut 7 do not answer this question, but, rather, compel us to consider the possibility that there are “others” in this universe that, in the most dire of times, manifest in ways that force us to question the very foundation of our beliefs as well as our place in the cosmos.
SALYUT 7 SPACE STATION SIGHTINGS
The Salyut 7 — which translates as “Salute 7” — was a low Earth orbit space station that was launched on April 19, 1982. The Salyut 7 represented the Soviet space program’s change from “monolithic” to more “modular” space stations and was first manned in May of 1982.
The station was ostensibly designed to conduct scientific experiments, but in July of 1984, the Salyut 7 would serve as the site of arguably the strangest close encounter in the relatively brief history of manned space exploration.
THE FIRST SIGHTING:
Although the “official” chronicling of this event is fraught with chronological inconsistencies, but, by the best estimations, the first reported sighting of these so-called “celestial beings” — which would also come to be known as “space angels” — occurred on July 12, 1984.
Cosmonauts Leonid Kizim, Vladimir Solovyov and cardiologist Oleg Atkov were on their astonishing 155th day aboard the Salyut 7, conducting “medical experiments,” when the trio noticed what they described as an “brilliant orange cloud” surrounding the station.
The Salyut 7 had been plagued by a steady stream of system failures and the men aboard the craft were understandably concerned that the glow might represent a life threatening fire. Fearing the worst, the cosmonauts rushed to the portholes only to find themselves blinded by an eerily intense luminescence the poured in through the circular apertures.
After their vision adjusted to the light, the curious cosmonauts radioed ground control that the station was bathed in an anomalous, self illuminated mist. The men returned to the portholes, shielding their eyes from the radiance, and that’s when they spied something so incredible that it would forever alter their perception of reality.
According to reports published in newspapers across the globe — including, allegedly, the Washington Post — the three Russian explorers saw colossal, winged, humanoid entities hovering just outside the station in the vacuum of space.
The faces of these beings were said to resemble those of humans with “peaceful expressions” and the Soviet scientists even claimed that the creatures noticed them and offered distinctly beatific smiles.
This quote was published in the later newspaper reports, although it’s difficult to discern which cosmonaut it was credited to, though some have suggested it may have been Solovyov:
“What we saw were seven giant figures in the form of humans, but with wings and mist-like halos as in the classic depiction of angels.”
The cosmonauts went on to described these mist haloed beings as being nearly 80-feet in height with a wingspan comparable to that of a 747 jet; although, it should be noted, that there’s no indication in the public record of how these men of science came to these proportional estimations. The men observed the soaring seraphim for approximately 10-minutes before they vanished; leaving the isolated and surely perplexed comrades to ponder what it was that they had seen and try to gather the courage to report it to their superiors below.
By their own admission, the cosmonauts were themselves reluctant to accept the existence of the oddly angelic beings which they had seen, and concluded that they were more likely suffering from some form of mass delusion brought on by their extended space travel than an actual encounter with alien — or perhaps even divine — entities. Their self induced denial would be put to the test 11-days later when additional cosmonauts arrived at the station and the celestial beings returned.
SVETLANA MAKES HISTORY:
On the evening of July 17, 1984, at 5:41 pm., the Soyuz T-12 spacecraft launched from the LC31 pad of the Baikonur Cosmodrome, which is located in the isolated backwaters of Kazakhstan, approximately 124-miles east of the Aral Sea.
The Soyuz T-12 carried with it Crew Commander Vladimir Dzhanibekov, Flight Engineer Svetlana Savitskaya and Research Cosmonaut Igor Volk. Hours later the craft docked with the Salyut 7.
The mission had been hastily thrown together just a month following an announcement made by NASA in November of 1983, stating that astronaut Kathryn D. Sullivan would become the first woman to ever perform a spacewalk. The trio of cosmonauts had been tasked with an ostensibly simple mission — make sure that Savitskaya would become the first woman to execute a spacewalk; thus beating the Americans to the punch.
Savitskaya had already ascended into the ranks of Soviet sanctioned idols in 1982, when she became the second woman to ever officially go into space — although there remains speculation that she was actually the third and that the firstperished in orbit — and the powers that be in the Soviet space program wanted very much to post yet another victory their space race against the U.S.
Much to the chagrin of NASA, the Soviets made good on their plan to upstage the U.S. when, on July 25, 1984, Savitskaya engaged in an almost 4-hour EVA (Extra-vehicular activity), officially making her the first woman ever to do so.
As auspicious as this occasion was in both the annals of human space exploration and women’s history, in the long run it would not be this incredible accomplishment that this journey would be known for, but a decidedly more ethereal series of events.
THE SECOND SIGHTING:
According to published reports, just days after the Soviet cosmonauts were safely nestled aboard the Salyut 7, the peculiar, orange glow once again enveloped the station and this time all six of the space travelers were said to have witnessed these gigantic, winged, ghostly beings keeping pace with the station, which they once again dutifully reported to an ever more alarmed ground control team below.
As the six cosmonauts stared out of the portholes one can only imagine that they must have been overwhelmed by sensations of awe, wonder and perhaps a touch of fear. After all these men and woman were highly trained pilots, scientists and even doctors who after years of knowing where they stood on the evolutionary scale were now confronted with enormous, humanoid creatures soaring unprotected in the dark vacuum of space; creatures that seemed not merely alien, but supernatural in origin. According to news accounts, one of the (again unnamed) cosmonauts was quoted as stating:
“They were glowing and we were truly overwhelmed. There was a great orange light, and through it, we could see the figures of seven angels. They were smiling as though they shared a glorious secret, but within a few minutes, they were gone, and we never saw them again.”
After the space angels disappeared a second time, Kizim, Solovyov and Atkov could no longer dismiss the phenomenon as a communal hallucination brought on by the pressure of a long mission in orbit. They now shared this encounter with three new witnesses, all of whom — one might expect — were just as perplexed and frightened as the first set on cosmonauts days earlier. This left both the explorers and the crew at mission control to ponder the question…
WHAT DID THESE COSMONAUTS WITNESS?
Within days Dzhanibekov, Savitskaya and Volk returned to Earth via the Soyuz T-12, but Kizim, Solovyov and Atkov remained in orbit aboard the Salyut 7 for a record setting 237 days.
Upon their return, each of the cosmonauts were subjected to a battery of physical and psychological examinations to try and see if there might be a medical explanation for this potentially heavenly phenomenon, but — according to all accounts — they passed both with flying colors.
If one is to believe the testimony as it’s been presented, then the medical diagnosis leaves only one of two viable conclusions. The first is that six cosmonauts — in two separate instances — were willing to seriously jeopardize their careers, reputations and even their very lives (not to mention opened a Pandora’s Box of questions regarding their psychological well being) all for the sake of a “prank.”
The second conclusion is, quite simply, that they saw “angels,” or at the very least anomalous astronautic entities that bear a very distinct resemblance to what many of the followers of the Abrahamic traditions would consider to be divine messengers. Of course, there are more than a few who stand firmly by the proposition that these otherwise level headed men and woman fell prey to nothing more than a…
MASS HALLUCINATION:
The evidence for mass hallucinations is dubious at best. While episodes of mass hysteria have been chronicled throughout the ages — most of which having to do with a perceived physical ailments or more social phenomena that extend over substantial periods of time — there is very little to suggest that individuals are privy to simultaneous and shared hallucinations.
While there have been reports of individual cosmonauts and astronauts who have seen some decidedly surreal (and occasionally Godly) things from their spacecraft — a phenomenon which NASA researchers have attributed to pressure, temperature fluctuations and oxygen shortage — there’s nothing in the medical record to suggest that these experiences are in any way contagious. In short, barring some kind of heretofore undiagnosed psychic phenomenon, there’s simply no known way to share a delusion as specific as the one that the cosmonauts of the Salyut 7 are believed to have succumbed to.
The current psychological certainty that thoughts are not infectious, combined with the fact that we are dealing with a group of scientists and seasoned space explorers who, by necessity, are not prone to panic or flights of fancy, makes it all but inconceivable that a mass hallucination is the culprit in this case.
So, if for the sake of argument, we agree that we’re not dealing with what is tantamount to a figment of the cosmonauts’ collective imaginations, then we’ve got to at least consider the possibility that we may be contending with authentic entities of either biological or spiritual origin. Perhaps we should cut to the chase and consider the most obvious — and in some ways most disturbing — option. That these creatures are angels and that they might just be…
HERALDS OF THE APOCALYPSE:
I know that for some it might seem like a stretch jumping from what most people would consider to be a benignly heartwarming encounter with celestial beings to the end of the world as we know it, but as a former altar boy and parochial school student there is one thing I know all too well; and that is that when seven angels show up trouble is not far behind.
In my more seasoned years I’ve found a great deal of comfort in eastern philosophies and both Buddhist and Hindu traditions, but as a child I was trapped like a fly in the web of Roman Catholicism. Now, don’t get me wrong, I have a great deal of respect for the teachings of the Abrahamic religions and feel that a tremendous amount of truth lies within their venerated tomes, but there is an overwhelming dire vibe that comes from many of these ancient records and perhaps the most celebrated of these is the Holy Bible’s “Book of Revelations.”
Anyone familiar with Jewish or Christian traditions is probably aware of the fact that the number seven is considered by many to be a sacred number, which represents rectitude and sanctity. The number seven also plays a significant role in the so-called “end of days.”
Note this passage from Revelations 15:1 in which seven angels are said to bear seven trumpets, the sound of which is said to signify the coming of the Apocalypse. They were also said to have “bowls” containing the plagues which would sow the seeds of mankind’s ultimate extinction:
“I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign: seven angels with the seven last plagues — last, because with them God’s wrath is completed.”
Is it possible that seven angels appeared before these emissaries of the U.S.S.R. as a warning of what would come if both they and the U.S.A. did not tone down their heated rhetoric before the Cold War turned thermonuclear hot?
Or, even more grimly, was it a sign that it was already too late and that events had been sent into motion that could not be undone; events that may still be unfolding at this very day?
While I must admit that I’m not convinced that the “Book of Revelations” is anything more than a metaphorical warning for sinners to mend their ways before it’s too late, if there’s even a chance that it’s the simple truth, then I hope the former option is the correct one and that the angels were showing themselves in an attempt to avert, rather than proclaim, global disaster.
And for those who might suggest that these peacefully smiling angels could not possibly have nefarious intentions I would only state that, according to scripture, the purpose of the Apocalypse is not to cause evil, but to eliminate it from the Earth… and what angel would not be happy about that?
Okay, now that we’ve discussed just a few of the theological implications of the existence of outer space angels, let’s consider a somewhat more plausible hypothesis, which is that these celestial beings are…
ANCIENT ALIENS:
Thanks to the History Channel’s hit series “Ancient Aliens,” there’s been a worldwide revival of Zecharia Sitchin and, famed author of “Chariots of the Gods,” Erich Von Dänike’s theories regarding extraterrestrial ambassadors who supposedly visited Earth thousands of years ago and profoundly affected the evolution of the human race and civilization itself.
According to these two authors, ancient aliens were not looked upon as otherworldly explorers by these primitive peoples — who would have no frame of reference for such a thing — but (understandably) were worshiped by our ancestors as nothing less than gods. Von Dänike’s theories applied not only to primitive religious traditions, but to every major theology on the planet, including Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
Stories of angels serving as messengers of God are present in the written testaments of all three major monotheistic religions — not to mention Hinuism — and represent one of the most commonly utilized methods for the divine to communicate with Earthlings in ancient times. Von Dänike and their acolytes are convinced that these beings were not of heavenly, but extraterrestrial, origin.
If we are to entertain this possibility, even for the sake of discussion, then we must consider the prospect that the six cosmonauts aboard the Salyut 7 might have seen not God’s messengers, but corporeal manifestations of these unique alien creatures, which have communicated with mankind since the dawn of history.
Granted, there’s no more evidence to support this “biological” theory, than there is to support the more “theological” supposition, but it’s intriguing to contemplate nonetheless. Of course, leaving behind both the metaphysical and the extraterrestrial, we are forced to wonder if this is all one, big…
COSMIC RUMOR:
One of the major problems in investigating the authenticity in a case such as this lies in the fact that there is no filter that separates the proverbial “wheat” of what may be a legitimate anomalous sighting from the “chaff” of reports from such dubious sources as the Weekly World News.
Who can blame academics or respectable researchers for turning a blind eye to events like those that puportedly took place on the Salyut 7, when stories of the cosmonauts unusual sightings lay side by side with obvious tripe about the Hubble telescope photographing a colossal white city in the depths of space that must be (eye rolls please) the first picture of Heaven?
Conspiracy theories have circulated for years concerning the Hubble Telescope snapping angelic images in the NGC-3532 star cluster that have been shared with only the highest echelons of the U.S., Soviet and French governments as well as Pope John Paul II in the Vatican, who had speculated that these “beings of light” might not be heaven sent. According to these reports the spectacular photos are allegedly being kept under wraps due to the fact that knowledge of the angel’s existence may well through the citizens of Earth into a global tizzy… or so these rumors claim.
This lack of distinction between the work of serious academic researchers and the ramblings of religious zealots is one that also plagues some cryptozoologists, whose investigations into such intriguing phenomena as the Mokele Mbembeand other relic dinosaurs are often co-opted by creationists looking to confirm their own beliefs by reinterpreting native eyewitness accounts to suit their own theological agendas.
While, as stated above, I have nothing but respect for anyone’s personal beliefs, when one is striving to make a legitimate scientific inquiry into events as surreal as those that took place aboard the Salyut 7, then one must take great pains to separate the facts from faith. This is virtually impossible in today’s online climate.
Another fact which bears scrutiny is a news report regarding Vladimir Solovyov’s tour of British schools, which appeared in the Derby Evening Telegraph on January 23, 1997. While visiting Brackensdale and Reigate Junior Schools, Solovyov was asked about whether or not he had ever encountered any alien beings. Here is an excerpt from the Telegraph’s article:
“If you believe the Washington Post Mr Solovev has already come face-to-face with beings from another planet and seven angels who surrounded his craft on a mission in 1984. He added: ‘I could not believe they put that in such a serious paper… I’ve never seen any aliens but I am sure we are not alone in the universe.’”
On the surface Solovyov’s comments seem to put to rest this controversy once and for all, but things are rarely as clear cut as that. To begin with, following his career as a cosmonaut, Solovyov became the Mir flight director before temporarily retiring on February 18, 1994, only to return to lead the Russian section of the International Space Station.
One has to ask the serious question of whether or not a man in Solovyov’s position would be sabotaging his own career and reputation by confirming such a bizarre event. The answer, of course, is that the mass media would become extremely derisive on anyone claiming to have had an encounter with massive space angels and a man of Solovyov’s stature could ill afford to be made a fool of.
Of course, the alternative is that it’s all just pop culture drivel, but who would take the time to make something like this up and what would be the point? And if the original sources used in this story were dubious to begin with then why would this account have been printed in such prestigious publications as the Washington Post or the 1985, New Year’s Edition of the popular Sunday supplement Parade Magazine? Proof? No. Bit it is food for thought.
CONCLUSION
While scores of notable historical events captured headlines during the penultimate act of the Cold War, the strange sightings hailing from the Salyut 7 barely made a ripple in the vast sea of information that the media reported regarding U.S./Soviet relations in the 1980s, and when they did so they would come hot on the heels of a momentous event in the record of manned astronautics — Savitskaya’s space walk.
Although rumor has it that their sighting was immediately classified as a state secret, the tale of the cosmonauts’ run-in with these strange seraphim did eventually make the international news, which is astonishing considering how well the Soviet secrets machine managed to maintain all but total silence regarding other odd events, such as the Dyatlov Pass incident in 1959.
Nevertheless, in the decades that have followed the initial event, this account has taken on a life of its own and has continued to spread with a dogged persistence. Is this due to the fact that the truth has a way of lingering even in the face of conventional logic and fanatical skeptics? Or is it the human fascination with the unknown, particularly the idea of divine intervention, that keeps this legend alive?
In the end the only people who will ever know the whole story of what took place in orbit around the Salyut 7 that July day in 1984, are the men and woman who were aboard the vessel.
While there’s a chance that this whole story in nothing more than wildly exaggerated hearsay, there’s also a minute possibility that celestial beings showed themselves to a group of humans who represented a nation that was among the most dangerous of the 20th Century.
Mayhap this was an an effort to get the U.S.S.R to change their ways… or perhaps the arrival of these entities indicates that it is already too late.
Soviet, and later, Russian cosmonauts have observed interesting , unusual, and often inexplicable phenomena while in space. Some of them have talked about their experiences, although doing so is not encouraged by their space program. A cosmonaut is a person trained by a human spaceflight program to command, pilot, or serve as a crew member of a spacecraft; cosmonauts are professional space travelers.
Cosmonaut Vladimir Lyakhov once remarked about a very unusual phenomenon he observed from his spaceship looking down on Earth: two gigantic waves ascended from the waters of the Indian Ocean, and crashed onto each other. The mass of water resulting from the crash seemed to be a giant mountain that had vanished in an instant (published in Tekhnika-Molodezhi,Issue 3, 1980). Cosmonaut Vladimir Kovalyonok reported a very similar water pillar of over 100 kilometers in height in the Timor Sea near Australia (NLO magazine, 10/11, 1996). In an article published in Tekhnika-Molodezhi(Issue 3) back in 1979, cosmonaut and scientist Yevgeny Khrunov, remarked that UFOs cannot be denied, as thousands of people have observed them. Properties of unidentified objects simply astound the imagination. He was outspoken in another interview, a year later. It was in the pre-perestroika times, and Khrunov could not speak freely. Cosmonaut Aleksei Gubarev went a step further: he admitted that he believed in aliens. Interestingly enough, he mentioned the information that the Americans had at their disposal, information that confirmed his belief (Tekhnika-Molodezhi,Issue 1, 1980). Cosmonaut Valery Rozhdestvensky, a cosmonaut who does not believe in the presence of extraterrestrial civilization anywhere in the close vicinity to us, at the same time revealed knowledge about secret rumors or information that those outside of special circles (the Soviet space program and their military) could not know. In the article in Tekhnika-Molodezhi (Issue 10, 1980) he stated that he did not believe that a “smallgreen man” actually knocked on the porthole of a Soyuz spaceship.
Russian UFO researchers managed to collect more information about cosmonauts and strange phenomena. An article published in Spektra newspaper (Issue 8, Leningrad, 1992, after the demise of the Soviet Union) lists several incidents. In 1976, Cosmonaut Vladimir Kubasov told a reporter that he and others had numerous facts that prove the existence of UFOs. This was the year of the famous Teheran UFO incident. In 1978, Vladimir Kovalyonok observed a strange object on August 15 from the Salyut-6 space station: it approached and distanced itself repeatedly. Cosmonauts Valery Ryumin and Leonid Popov, while aboard the same station in 1980 (from June 14 to 15) had observed a school of white glowing dots that took-off in the area of Moscow, and flew into space above their station. They reported it to the ground control.
An interesting sighting took place on September 2, 1978. Soviet cosmonauts Kovalyonok and Ivanchenkov observed the shadow of Salyut-6 orbital station over the clouds. The shadow had very strange orange-reddish color. What’s more amazing, it changed its size. Earlier that year, on August 25, both cosmonauts observed iridescent clouds: green, purple, reddish, blue, and even violet. Other Soviet cosmonauts (V. Sevastyanov, P. Klimuk) had reported silvery clouds. Their origin remains unexplained. Sevastyanov was mesmerized by their dull, occasionally pearly-white, cold, glitter. The structure of such clouds was either very thin (or bright) on the edges of the pitch-dark sky, or porous, resembling a swan’s wing.
These clouds are said to be a magic spectacle. Russian astronomer Vitold Tsesarsky first reported them in 1885. The clouds are the highest in the Earth’s atmosphere, located at the altitude of 70-90 kilometers. They consist of diffused particles, its nature still unclear.
Colonel Yury Nazarov, former deputy commander of the Soviet Space Mission Control Center, recalled that on August 29, 1978, cosmonauts Kovalyonok and Ivanchenkov (mentioned earlier) , and the newly arrived cosmonaut Bykovsky and East German cosmonaut Sigmund Jähn had observed an unidentified large-sized spherical object that flew around Salyut-6. After the cosmonauts returned to Earth, Soviet UFO researcher Vladimir Ajaja approached Bykovsky, to get some explanations, but the cosmonaut only admitted that they did observe something inexplicable from aboard the Salyut. The source is V. Ajaja’s booklet Znakomtes’, NLO (1990).
Cosmonaut Georgy Grechko reported seeing a strange being of gigantic dimensions over Mongolia. Georgy Grechko and Yuri Romanenko had also reported to the Tsentr (Soviet Space Mission Control Center) that while in their orbital station over the Falkland Islands they had actually observed huge letters. The photograph they took was delivered to Earth by visiting cosmonauts Dzhanibekov and Makarov.
Cosmonaut Vladislav Volkov, who perished in 1971, recalled the inexplicable noises he had heard in space, in his headset intercom: Sounds of dogs barking and babies crying. The Earth was below, and he was in orbit, yet he heard strange noises.
To his death Volkov was not able to explain it.
Cosmonauts Gagarin and Leonov heard music that the former described as “not of this Earth.” Not everything could be explained by sensory depravation. Nor did everyone involved attempt to seek explanations (NLO, 1999).
Cosmonaut Yury Malyshev said that when it comes to UFOs, no one in the world, probably, can say what they are. It is impossible to refute similar phenomena, for there were thousands, or tens of thousands of people who have witnessed them. But the physical nature of the (UFO-P.S.) phenomenon remains indeterminate (Tekhnika-Molodezhi, Issue 11, 1981). Earlier that year, Cosmonaut Vladimir Aksyonov was more cautious. He said that cosmonauts often observe peculiar light phenomena as of yet inexplicable in nature. The contemporary stage of research of the phenomena is similar to the early establishment of such sciences, as zoology and botany, when the naturalists simply described unknown species of animals and plants (Tekhnika-Molodezhi, Issue 1, 1981)
In the year 1982, on July 12, Soviet cosmonauts Georgy Beregovoy and Valentin Lebedev were able to observe an unusual drop-shaped object on the monitor’s screen of the Salyut-7. It flew, ascending, between the orbital space station and Progressor-14 craft. The object, at the distance of 200 meters, could have been the size of a spaceship. The cosmonauts reported their sighting to the Tsentr. This information comes from the books authored by Gherman Kolchin, former Soviet colonel and UFO phenomenon researcher. The author also recalled speaking with Cosmonaut Pyotr Klimuk in April of 1989, who confirmed he does not refute the existence of UFOs (Fenomenon NLO: vzglyad iz Rossii, Kolchin’s book published in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1994).
An interesting interview was published in Sputnik magazine. The subject of the article was perception of UFOs by cosmonauts and astronauts. It contained stories told by ten Soviet and American space explorers. Only one did not refute the possibility of UFOs coming to our galaxy. Yevgeny Khrunov actually mentioned that it is not possible to deny their (UFOs) presence in our galaxy. Thousands of people have observed them. Maybe they are but optical illusions, but some of their characteristics, for instance the change of their flight course at 90 degrees, boggle imagination.
Cosmonaut Gennady Strekalov mentioned that he saw strange phenomena several times, but is hesitant to classify what he saw as UFOs. But his colleagues did see “flying saucers,” and he envies them. Strekalov did not provide details about their sightings. He described the phenomenon he observed in 1990, on September 28, during his sojourn on the space station MIR: a sphere over the Newfoundland (at the altitude of 20-30 kilometers). The source is Rabochaya Tribuna newspaper, October 16, 1990 issue. The atmosphere was clear and visibility was perfect. The sphere was beautiful, and changed colors. It remained visible for ten seconds, and vanished instantly. Strekalov remembers that it had a perfect shape. He reported the incident to the Mission Control Center, but did not classify it as a UFO explaining that cosmonauts must be cautious. Cosmonaut Gennady Manakov was with Strekalov aboard the MIR space station station, and observed the same phenomenon.
In 1984, the crew aboard the Soviet orbital station Salyut-7consisted of six cosmonauts: Leonid Kizil, Oleg At’kov, Vladimir Solovyew, Svetlana Savitskaya, Igor Volk, and Vladimir Dzhanibekov.
On the 155th day of the station’s flight, the crew was busy with planned experiments, tests, and scientific observations. They were about to start medical experiments. All of them were experienced, skilled cosmonauts. Then, something that was out of their experience, knowledge, and understanding occurred. In front of the Salyut- 7 station, out of nowhere, a large, orange, gas cloud suddenly appeared, its origin unknown. The cosmonauts immediately informed the Tsentrupravleniya poletom (Soviet Space Mission Control Center). While the astonished Tsentr analyzed the report,Salyut-7 entered the cloud. The crew had a brief impression that the orange cloud entered their station.
They were all engulfed by the mysterious orange glow, blinded, out of contact with their comrades. But their sight, however, was restored quickly. The cosmonauts stumbled to the station’s portholes. What they saw left them speechless: seven gigantic shapes could be easily discerned inside the orange cloud. Their political ideals, their faith in Marxist-Leninist postulates were gone in a flash. None doubted their eyes. None questioned the shapes: seven heavenly angels. The angels looked like humans, and yet they were different. Yes, the angels possessed huge wings, and blinding halos. The main difference, however, lay in the angels’ smiles. When they gazed upon the Soviet crew, they smiled. The Soviet cosmonauts recalled what wonderful smiles the angels had. Smiles of joy, of rapture…no human could smile like that. Ten minutes passed quickly. As the clock ticked away the time, the angels disappeared, along with their cloud. The crew of Salyut-7 felt a devastating loss. But Earth was demanding explanation. When the Tsentr received the report, it was immediately classified as “top secret.” A special team of doctors was formed to study cosmonauts’ well-being. Hence, instead of carrying out further experiments in space, the crew was ordered to measure its own physical and mental health. The tests indicated that the cosmonauts were well and of sound mind.
In view of the dominant ideology, the incident, quite embarrassing to the Soviet regime, was hushed up for years. The popular Russian NLO magazine (Issue 9, 1998) carried one account of the incident. The incident took place before the perestroika period, and in order to create unnecessary furor, the Politburo made sure that the report remained secret. The crew of the Salyut-7 was warned to keep silent. No angels could exist inside or outside the Soviet Union.
COSMIC WHISPER
There are still episodes of the Soviet space exploration that are not widely discussed in Russia. Such are the accounts of the so-called “space whisper.” One former cosmonaut known only as, Cosmonaut X, revealed some information, but demanded that his name remain anonymous. He recalled that Soviet cosmonauts heard hushed up rumors about the “whisper,” but did not share definite information among themselves, nor did they report anything to the doctors. They were afraid that the latter would remove them from the space program. Cosmonaut X and his colleague believed the rumors to be a legend created by the first team of Soviet cosmonauts, to scare the greenhorns. He was wrong.
They were aboard a Soviet spacecraft, flying over the Southern hemisphere, when the “whisper” came to them. The narrator said that he suddenly felt as if someone else was next to them. He felt that some invisible being stared into his back; and it was a hard gaze. The cosmonaut had no doubt he was being observed. A second later his comrade, the flight engineer, who was looking into the porthole, sharply turned around and looked about him. Both were quite ordinary people, far removed from any mystical beliefs. But they were good friends, and knew each other long before the Star City training. They were not afraid to compare their impressions after the episode. They received different “texts,” but their initial reaction to the “whisper” was identical: both became mute and dumbfounded. The “whisper” came from the depths of Cosmonaut X’s consciousness and said: “You arrived here too early, and you did it in a wrong fashion. Trust me, for I am your ancestor on the maternal side. Do you remember, she told you; back when you were a child, about your great-grandfather, who had founded the D-s factory in the Urals? Sonny, you should not be here, go back to Earth, do not violate the Laws of the Creator…Sonny, you must return, return, return…”
The “whisper” also told the cosmonaut a very private story, as if to prove knowledge that existed only inside the family; it concerned the cosmonaut’s great-grandfather.
Both cosmonauts were back on Earth two days later. The “whisper” came back to them one more time; the “texts” of what it said were the same as the first time; and both felt the alien presence throughout their time in orbit.
The cosmonauts faced a dilemma: to report the incident or not. If they did, their careers could end immediately. They could be considered impressionable people, their psyche too unstable for further flights into space. Other cosmonauts kept somewhat silent about the “whisper,” at least nothing was reported to their superiors.
Cosmonaut X and his colleague spent endless hours trying to determine what it was that they had experienced. They were atheists, and both liked science fiction. This led them to a conclusion that alien intelligence, using some king of hypnosis, is determined to prevent the mankind from exploring the outer space. To convince the mankind that its sons and daughters in outer space are not experiencing hallucinations, hard facts are presented, facts picked up from probing human brains, memories and subconscious. How long have “they” researched our civilization? Perhaps for thousands of years.
But are the aliens so naïve as not to understand that we would see their ploy? Then, if it was not an alien “whisper”… whose would it be? Did the departed relatives truly visit Soviet crews in space? This conclusion shattered the cosmonauts’ convictions, their atheism, and their view of the world. Does it mean that there is life after death, and that the consciousness (not the physical body) continues to exist on other stages of existence? There must be a hierarchy to such stages, and on the top of the hierarchy would be the Creator, as the great-grandfather had informed the cosmonaut.
Their sense of duty told both cosmonauts that a report had to be made. They did not listen to that sense. But some other cosmonauts, who had heard the “whisper,” did make reports. As a result, special medical teams were introduced into the training program, top-rated medical hypnotists began to explore cosmonauts’ psyches, and the whole fight-training program underwent changes.
Cosmonaut X, who has since retired, does not know how the “whisper” is treated nowadays, and what conclusions Russian scientists have come to (the report was published in Press-Extranewspaper, Issue 135, 1997). He did say that his whole outlook on life had changed. The outer space is full of intelligence, and is much more complicated than we imagine it to be. Our present knowledge does not allow us to understand the essence of most processes taking place in the Universe. Our abilities are still quite limited. But for those who had heard the “whisper” one thing is clear: the future exists, and it is endless, just as time and space are endless.
Who knows what awaits the humans in our exploration of the outer space? We have not wandered far from the embrace of our planets, but have already encountered wonders we are not able, as yet, to explain…

The following story of what I observed over the Cascade mountains, as impossible as it may seem, is positively true. I never asked nor wanted any notoriety for just accidentally being in the right spot at the right time to observe what I did. I reported something that I know any pilot would have reported. I don’t think that in any way my observation was due to sensitivity of eyesight or judgment other than what is considered normal for any pilot. On Tuesday, June 24th, 1947, I had finished my work for the Central Air Service at Chehalis, Washington, and at about two o’clock I took off from Chehalis, Washington airport with the intention of going to Yakima, Washington. My trip was delayed for an hour to search for a large Marine transport that supposedly went down near or around the southwest side of Mt. Rainier in the state of Washington. (This airplane has been discovered at the time of this writing - July 29, 1947.) I flew directly toward Mt. Rainier after reaching an altitude of about 9,500 feet, which is the approximate elevation of the high plateau from which Mt. Rainier rises. I had made one sweep of this high plateau to the westward, searching all of the various ridges for this Marine ship and flew to the west down and near the ridge side of the canyon where Ashford, Washington, is located. Unable to see anything that looked like the lost ship, I made a 360 degree turn to the right and above the little city of Mineral, starting again toward Mt. Rainier. I climbed back up to an altitude of approximately 9,200 feet. The air was so smooth that day that it was a real pleasure flying and, as most pilots do when the air is smooth and they are flying at a higher altitude, I trimmed out my airplane in the direction of Yakima, Washington, which was almost directly east of my position, and simply sat in my plane observing the sky and terrain.
There was a DC-4 to the left and to the rear of me approximately fifteen miles distant and, I should judge, at 14,000 feet elevation. The sky and air were as clear as crystal. I had not flown more than two or three minutes on my course when a bright flash reflected on my airplane. It startled me as I thought I was too close to some other aircraft. I looked every place in the sky and couldn’t find where the reflection had come from until I looked to the left and the north of Mt. Rainier where I observed a chain of nine peculiar-looking aircraft flying from north to south at approximately 9,500 feet elevation and going, seemingly, in a definite direction of about 170 degrees north to south. They were approaching Mt. Rainier very rapidly, and I merely assumed they were jet planes.
Anyhow, I discovered that this was where the reflection had come from, as two or three of them every few seconds would dip or change their course slightly, just enough for the sun to strike them at an angle that reflected brightly in my eyes. These objects being quite far away, I was unable for a few seconds to make out their shape or their formation. Very shortly they approached Mt. Rainier, and I observed their outline against the snow quite plainly. I thought it was very peculiar that I couldn’t find their tails, but assumed they were some new type of jet. I was determined to clock their speed. I had two definite points - Mt. Rainier and Mt. Adams - to clock them by, and the air was so clear that it was very easy to see the objects and determine their approximate shape and size as far as fifty miles. I remember distinctly that my sweep-second hand on my eight-day clock, which is located on my instrument panel, read one minute to 3 P.M. as the first object of this formation passed the southern edge of Mt. Rainier. I watched these objects with great interest as I had never before observed airplanes flying so close to the mountain tops, flying directly south to southeast down the hog’s back of a mountain range.
I would estimate their elevation could have varied a thousand feet one way or another up or down, but they were pretty much on the horizon to me which would indicate they were near the same elevation as I was. They flew, as I have frequently observed geese fly, in a rather diagonal chain-like line as if they were linked together. They seemed to hold a definite direction, but swerved in and out of the high mountain peaks. Their seed at the time did not impress me particularly, because I knew that our army and air forces had planes that went very fast. What kept bothering me as I watched them flip and flash in the sun right along their path was the fact that I couldn’t make out any tail on them, and I am sure that any pilot would justify more than a second look at such a plane. I observed them quite plainly, and I estimate my distance from them, which was almost at right angles, to be between twenty to twenty-five miles. I knew they must be very large to permit me to observe their shape at that distance, even as clear a day as it was. In fact, I compared a zeus fastener or cowling tool I had in my pocket with them, holding it up on them and holding it up on the DC-4 that I could observe at quite a distance to my left, and they seemed smaller than the DC-4; but I should judge their span would have been as wide as the farthest engines on each side of the fuselage of the DC-4. The more I observed these objects, the more upset I became, as I am accustomed and familiar with most all flying objects whether I am close to the ground or at higher altitudes. I observed the chain of these objects passing another high snow-covered ridge in between Mt. Rainier and Mt. Adams, and as the first one was passing the south crest of this ridge the last object was entering the northern crest of the ridge. As I was flying in the direction of this particular ridge, I measured it and found it to be approximately five miles, so I could safely assume that the chain of these saucer-like objects was at least five miles long. I could quite accurately determine their pathway due to the fact that there were several of them as well as higher peaks on the other side of their pathway. As the last unit of this formation passed the northernmost high snow-covered crest of Mt. Adams, I looked at my sweep-second hand and it showed that they had traveled the distance in one minute and forty-two seconds. Even at the time this timing did not upset me as I felt confident that after I landed there would be some explanation of what I had seen. A number of news men and experts suggested that I might have been seeing reflections or even a mirage. This I know to be absolutely false, as I observed these objects not only through the glass of my airplane but turned my airplane sideways where I could open my window and observe them with a completely unobstructed view. Even though two minutes seems like a very short time to one on the ground, in the air in two minutes’ time a pilot can observe a great many things and anything within his field of vision probably as many as fifty or sixty times. I continued my search for the Marine plane, for another fifteen or twenty minutes, and while searching for this Marine plane the things I had just observed kept going through my mind. I became more disturbed, so after taking a last look at Teton Reservoir I headed for Yakima. I might add that my complete observation of these objects, which I could even follow by their flashes as they passed Mt. Adams, was around two and one-half or three minutes - although by the time they reached Mt. Adams they were out of my range of vision as far as determining shape or form. Of course, when the sun reflected from one or two or three of these units, they appeared to be completely round; but, I am making a drawing to the best of my ability, which I am including, as to the shape I observed these objects to be as they passed the snow-covered ridges at Mt. Rainier. When these objects were flying approximately straight and level, they were just a thin black line and the only time I could get a judgment as to their size was when they flipped.
These objects were holding an almost constant elevation; they did not seem to be going up or to be coming down, such as would be the case of rockets or artillery shells. I am convinced in my own mind that they were some type of airplane, even though they did not conform with the many aspects of the conventional type of planes that I know. Although these objects have been reported by many other observers throughout the United States, there have been six or seven other accounts written by some of these observers that I can truthfully say must have observed the same thing that I did; particularly, the descriptions of the three Western Air Lines employees of Cedar City, Utah, the pilot from Oklahoma City, the locomotive engineer in Illinois, John Corlett, a United Press correspondent of Boise, Idaho. Dave Johnson, news editor at the Boise Daily Statesman, Captain Smith, a co-pilot Stevens and Marty Morrow of United Air Lines, and Captain Charles F. Gebian and Jack Harvey of United Air Lines both of whom on July 28, 1947, made their observation on United Air Lines flight 105 westbound out of Boise. It is my opinion that descriptions could not be very accurate taken from the ground unless these saucer-like discs were at quite a great height and there is a possibility that all of the people who observed peculiar objects could have seen the same thing I did; but, it would have been very difficult from the ground to observe these for more than four or five seconds, and there is always the possibility of atmospheric moisture and dust near the ground which could distort one’s vision while air observers I would judge to be much more accurate. I have in my possession letters from all over the United States and Europe from people who profess that these objects have been observed over other portions of the world, principally Sweden, Bermuda, and California. I would have given almost anything that day to have had a movie camera with a telephoto lens and from now on I will never be without one. When I landed at Yakima, Washington airport I described what I had seen to my very good friend, Al Baxter, who is the General Manager of Central Aircraft Company. He listened patiently and was very courteous but in a joking way didn’t believe me. I did not accurately measure the distance between these two mountains until I landed at Pendleton, Oregon, that same day where I told a number of pilot friends of mine what I had observed and they did not scoff or laugh, but suggested they might be guided missiles or something new. In fact, several former Army pilots informed me that they had been briefed before going into combat overseas that they might see objects of similar shape and design that I described and assured me that I wasn’t dreaming or going crazy. I quote Sonny Robinson, a former Army Air Force pilot who is now operating dusting operations at Pendleton, Oregon: “What you observed, I am convinced, is some type of jet or rocket-propelled ship that is in the process of being tested by our government or it could even be by some foreign government.” Anyhow, the news that I had observed these spread very rapidly and before the night was over I was receiving telephone calls from all parts of the world; and to date I have not received one telephone call or one letter of scoffing or disbelief. The only disbelief that I know of was what was printed in the papers. I look at this whole affair as not something funny as some people have made it out to be.
To me it is mighty serious and since I evidently did observe something that at least Mr. John Doe on the street corner or Pete Andrews on the ranch has never heard about, is no reason that it does not exist. Even though I openly invited an investigation by the Army and the FBI as to the authenticity of my story or a mental and physical examination as to my capabilities, I received no interest from these two important protective forces of our country until two weeks after my observation. I will go so far as to assume that if our Military Intelligence was not aware of what I observed and reported to the United and Associated Press and over the radio on two different occasions which apparently set the nation buzzing, they would be the very first people I could expect as visitors. I have received lots of requests from people who told me to make a lot of wild guesses. I have based what I have written here in this article on positive facts and as far as guessing what it was I observed, it is just as much a mystery to me as it is to the rest of the world. I saw them and I know they are real. My pilot’s license is 33489. I fly a Callair airplane, which is a three-place single-engine land ship that is designed and manufactured at Afton, Wyoming, as an extremely high-performance, high-altitude airplane that was made for mountain work. The national certificate of my plane is NC-33355. [Kenneth Arnold was born March 29, 1915, in Sebeka, Minn. Educated at Minot, N. Dak. Interested in athletics, was all-state end in 1932-33.
