Arkansas witness details low flying UFO
Arkansas witness details low flying UFO
An Arkansas witness at Lonsdale reported watching a low flying object with bright lights and windows that could not be identified, according to testimony in Case 77398 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was westbound along Highway 70 riding a motorcycle about one-half mile past the 70 and 128 junction at 10 p.m. on July 2, 2016, when the incident occurred.
“The night was warm, weather was dry and clear with very good visibility,” the witness stated.“The road was three lanes wide with approximately40 yards from tree line to tree line. Tree height is 30 to 40 feet. I first noticed flashing lights just entering my view above the tree line to the north of my line of sight. The object appeared to be traveling diagonally across my line of sight to the southwest. It appeared to be at approximately 60 to 70 degrees above the ground.”
The witness first assumed the object was a low flying, small aircraft.
The witness was westbound along Highway 70 about a half-mile past the 70 and 128 intersection, pictured, when the incident occurred.

“However, I quickly realized the ‘navigation lights’ were unlike anything I had ever seen on any aircraft. My next thought was that due to its apparent low speed and height (my impression) that it could be a blimp. However, it didn’t have a traditional navigation light pattern.”
The witness described the object.
“It had a flashing white light at the back with a second flashing white light slightly below the first. A row of sequentially strobing white light along the (what I took to be) underside with a single red light at the front. Above the bottom lights was a single row of six, square, hard edged ‘windows’ that emitted a bright, white light. This all seemed to be attached to a solid structure of a light blue/gray/silver color. I could not see any other hard edges, however I got the impression that the ‘windows’ or ‘light panels’ were attached to a V-shaped “hull.” I could only see the side facing me, but it seemed that there was a glow from where the other side would be, so one might assume that it was symmetrical. Once or twice when the uppermost rear light flashed, I thought I saw some structure above the light, but I am unsure of that. There were no other lights above the ‘windows’ or anywhere else other than the one I describe.”
The witness described the lights and their flashing order.

“The first light in the sequence was the uppermost rear white light followed by the lower rear white light (these two were the largest and brightest of the flashing lights). The two rear lights seem to have the longest duration and gap between them. After the lower light flashed, a row of eight to 10, sequentially flashing, white light flashed from the rear lower, large light to the front (direction of travel). These lights were fast (maybe a half second, rear to front), smaller and less intense than the two rear most lights. At the end of this sequence, at the front most point, the last light to flash was red. After a short (half second) pause, the pattern would repeat. The ‘windows’ or ‘light panels’ maintained a steady bright glow. The light was a very bright white with a blueish tinge. They appeared to be the same size and distance apart, taking up approximately one-third of the visible structure.”
The object stayed in view for approximately one minute before its travel and the height of the surrounding trees blocked its view from the witness.
“The road turned more southerly and I re-acquired the object in my view for approximately 10 to 20 seconds and then intermittently through the trees for a short while. It appeared to stay on the same course and height for as long as I had it in my view. If I extended my arm and turned my hand horizontal, I could have covered the object with my thumb, from the tip to midway past the first joint. This is an approximation as I was not able to do this at the time. My only feelings were of curiosity as to what the object was.”

The witness also provided information on himself.
“I was clearheaded. I had not consumed any drugs or alcohol. I don’t do drugs legal or otherwise (I’m allergic to most narcotic pain killers). I am not on any psychotropic medications (nor do I have reason to believe I should be) and rarely drink. My only thoughts at the time I first saw the object were of getting home and enjoying the ride as the evening cooled off. I live in a relatively high aircraft traffic zone and have seen navigation lights from all angles, heights and on many types of aircraft. I have seen drones of various sizes. I have seen blimps in daytime and I have seen them at night at sporting events, however, I have never seen one operating at night in a rural area. The object I saw falls outside of my personal experience, and searching online I was unable to find any aircraft with lights of this type, including blimps and the Virgin lightships. I am a rationalist and a firm believer in Occam’s razor. I enjoy debunking other people’s misidentifications and wild conclusions. I would be quite happy to have you identify this as a blimp, if, in fact that’s what this was.”

The witness was outside on July 2, 2016, searching for UFOs.
“I was asking in my head for the beings to show themselves to me,” the witness stated.“Looks like I was answered because as I was taking photos of the last light of the day, I caught an anomaly or entity in one of my photos that I only noticed the next day.”

This alien structure was found by Streetcap1 of Youtube. He seems to have found an alien city within Tycho crater and is pumping out building by building. Each structure is very amazing. I added some darkness to make the edges of this building come into focus. Its obvious that this is not just a rock. That this is an incredibly massive structure among a city on Earth moon. Wow, not often we get to see them so close up and so focused. Hats off to Streetcap1 for this great find. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Check out this UFO over a ship in Canada last month. It made the Oshawa news today and its more evidence that UFOs are seen as frequently over the water as over the land. If a UFO can be air tight in space, then is should also work similarly underwater. In this photo the disk looks like its over the ship, but the ship is focused, and the UFO is blurry, so I believer the UFO is further away, far behind the ship.
News states: OSHAWA - Daniel Koostachin said he had a bad feeling, like he was about to enter a haunted house when he showed up to the gates at the Oshawa Harbour on June 22 around 9:30 a.m., alone to pick up some metal rebar for a company he drives transport truck for. “I felt very uncomfortable all of a sudden,” said the Newmarket resident. “It felt like someone was watching me.” Mr. Koostachin said he checked his surroundings, looking left then right and that’s when he saw “the object” hovering over the waters of Lake Ontario. He managed to snap a couple of photos with his camera before “it took off into the sky. “After I saw it, I couldn’t sleep for two days. I had mixed feelings inside me,” he explained. “I felt dreadful.” Mr. Koostachin described what he saw as a black object that was a disc shape. “There were no lights, no sounds, no nothing,” he said. “That UFO was far from the harbour. It was far in distance.” He said he has always been a believer that UFOs exist and thinks he has seen them before but this time was different. “I’ve never been close enough to see it and get proof. I was hoping it’d take me but it didn’t that day,” he joked. “Hopefully the Men in Black don’t show up at my door.”
UFO Expert Gaurav Tiwari Dies In Mysterious Conditions In Delhi, India July 2016, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Expert Gaurav Tiwari Dies In Mysterious Conditions In Delhi, India July 2016, UFO Sighting News.
Date of death: July 2016 News source:
http://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/art-and-culture/the-ghost-busters-death-of-gaurav-tiwari-delhi-based-indian-paranormal-society-2909971/ Many UFO researchers over the past few decades were murdered by government people trying to cover up the truth. I thought it had stopped about 15 years ago, but now it seems to be starting again, but in India. This UFO and ghost researcher was killed and it was made to look like a suicide. I don't believe it because if you read up on the deaths of past UFO researchers, there are three main ways they were killed. 1st was made to look like suicide. 2nd made to look like a robbery. 3rd was radioactive poisoning, invisible, but makes you come down with cancer in just a week or less. Scary stuff guys, so to all UFO researches in India, please be careful, and keep an eye out. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com News states: The death of Gaurav Tiwari, the CEO of Delhi-based Indian Paranormal Society, has turned the spotlight on an eccentric clan of ghostbusters that has, in the past decade, turned into an underground phenomenon. “Many of us were inspired by his work, and found our way to the field through him,” says Rahul Kumar, 28, a Bangalore-based paranormal investigator, who is dentist by the day. “Paranormal investigations are not uncommon, it has been around for over 80 years in India and abroad,” says Kumar, whose interest in paranormal forces began in 2008. “However, in the past few years interest in the field has increased. We get calls from students, IT professionals, even doctors and scientists, who are influenced by what they see and believe some things go beyond science,” he adds. But, he says, they have to look out for the majority bogus cases or incidents of psychological disturbances, and it is only one percent of the time where they cannot explain what is going on. “We investigate the property, interview the owners, and learn the history of the place. We rule out illnesses, psychological problems or drug abuse that might be the cause; sometimes, we stay the night and set up devices to pick up on any activity,” explains Rahul. The devices used are scientific and sophisticated. While many question the credibility of the devices, and the validity of parascience, the popularity of ghosts and spirits is undeniable. Delhi By Foot organises a “Night Walk” in the Capital where guests set out to explore places like Sanjay Van around twilight and discuss personal experiences of ghosts and spirits. Kolkata, however, has the more boldly titled “Ghost Walk”, but Anthony Ahatchaturian, who organises it, is surprisingly cynical about the supernatural. “For me, the ghost walks are a foolproof way of showcasing the city’s heritage. The spooky element gains instant attention,” says Ahatchaturian. “There was an incident that happened during one of our walks in Garstin Place that housed the old AIR office. Apparently, when it was functional, during the break between radio broadcasts, a British pianist would play Beethoven and Mozart. However, years after the office shifted to a different place, people who walked by the building at night claimed that they could hear music. During my walking tours, on two separate occasions, my guests insisted that they heard music in that very spot,” he says. Though Ahatchaturian doesn’t believe in ghosts, one prospect really scares him. “If, by any chance, one of my guests gets really spooked out and gets a heart attack, that will be the end of it. I am scared of the legal backlash,” he says.

Four UFOs Over Memphis, Tennessee Following Jet On July 12, 2016, Photos, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: July 12, 2016 Location of sighting: Memphis, Tennessee, USA News Source: MUFON report #77636 This is interesting. A group of metallic orbs was seen coming out of a cloud and was near a plane flying past. Perhaps the orbs were hiding and waiting for planes, so they could scan the technology. My favorite part of the eyewitness description is that he noticed the orbs come out of the cloud before he took the photo. Excellent. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: I was at work when I took this photo. I work in Memphis,Tn. The warehouse is only maybe 5 miles from Memphis international Airport. I was on my lunch break from 1230 to 1 o'clock Pm. I Saw a large military cargo plane ( the kind that drops tanks out of the back with parachutes attached) taking off from the airport heading south, then turned to head east as it was taking off. The plane made a small maneuver, ( I thought to myself that the huge plane shouldn't try that at such a slow speed.) as the metallic orbs appeared out of the small clouds. I grabbed my phone to try and capture both the plane and the orbs closer together.The military plane can still be seen very well by zooming in. I stopped looking at the orbs to check the photo for both plane and orbs,GOT THEM BOTH, when I looked back to the sky I didnt see the orbs any more. Also there appears to be a bird flying close to one of the orbs. I Am including a screenshot of the details from the photo along with the photo, and map of where I work showing the airport. Enjoy. Also I have seen Chinook helicopters flying in groups of three for the past few days, just throwing that in there.

UFO Over New York City World Trade Center By Tourist On May 2016, Photos, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting:May 19, 2016, but reported July 2016 Location of sighting: New York City, USA Source: MUFON #77629 Here's an interesting UFO over the World Trade Center. This UFO is unusual because it seems to have two tails, and it has a rocket like shape to it. The fact that this is over the World Trade Center shows me that aliens have a lot of interest not just in the old building, but also in the new buildings that have symbolic meaning to the country. If you go to a cultural location that has a special meaning to people, look up once in a while, you might get lucky and see a UFO. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: First of all sorry for my English writing. We were visiting WTC groundzero with my wife. I was capturing continously without focusing a spesific object. I captured many photos. In one minute I captured 3 photos consecutively. After holiday while I and my wife viewing photos we found an unknown object and it was flying above. We didn't detect it with naked eyes when we were visiting WTC. I don't belive that US Goverment lets an ordinary vechile to fly above WTC. Maybe this is an undetected vechile or it was a Made in USA UFO. In photo 1 there are colorful circles. In Photo 2 that circles are replacing and an UFO appears suddenly. In photo 3 there is no light no UFO. I want professionals to analyze the images and I am so curious about results. I was not a believer but I was ready to believe. Now I wantto believe!
Amazing UFO sighting caught on tape over Cumberland, Maine 4-Jul-2016
Amazing UFO sighting caught on tape over Cumberland, Maine 4-Jul-2016
Here’s one interesting footage of an unknown craft hovering in the sky above Cumberland in Maine. This was taken on 4th July 2016. What do you think about this video? Please leave your comments below!
Witness report:
1. I was in my home with my wife and teenage son. We all saw the object high in the sky and we filmed the object using 60x HD camcorder.
2. My wife looked out the window and saw an object with bright light high in the sky.
3. We thought the object could be a sophisticate, large drone, possibly military. However when we reviewed the video at the end frame by frame it appears to spin and then disappear.
4. The object hovered stationary for several minutes. Using my HD video camera zoomed in at 60x I could see an A fram shape for each structure, a red and green light in the middle, and 3 bright white lights on top. It began spinning and then disappeared as shown frame by frame on the video. It returned a few minutes later in the same location but facing a different direction. It hovered stationary again and then disappeared. The video zoom did not resolve well but the object appeared to change color all at once to red before it disappeared.
5. We were excited to see the object even if it turns out to be just a drone. My wife posted the video clip to her facebook account and friends were shocked. Some said it was just a drone, but other did not.
6. We lost sight of the object because it disappeared. Please see the video clip as it is all there. I have 4 videos total but have processed only 1 to remove the audio and clip just the best section to reduce file size. The sequence of the video is continuous and has not been modified. Please contact me if you think this is a UFO or just a drone.
History Reveals Six Famous Extraterrestrial Sightings
History Reveals Six Famous Extraterrestrial Sightings
Today, UFO sightings are increasing. In fact, countless have been reported to authorities different strange object passing each month. However, what is the truth about aliens? Before digging deeper to the explanations, it is important to acknowledge the history behind the strange objects.
Here Are the Most Radically Influential Encounters In Human History:
74 BC: Ancient Romans Spotted A Strange Flying Wine Jar According to Plutarch’s records, the strange object appears apparently gigantic, made of flame, silver-colored, and has a shape like a wine jar. This happened during a battle in Phrygia (in what is now Turkey).
Nuremberg, Germany
1561: Flying Objects Battled Over Nuremberg The people residing in Nuremberg since 1561 have been seeing some interstellar battle in the sky. According to a broadsheet publisher, the inhabitants were bewildered seeing what appeared to be flying crosses, cannons, spheres and objects of similar nature having some massive clash every morning. It is worth mentioning, however, that the broadsheets during that time are not reliable sources because they reported that an English woman gave birth to rabbits.

Alien Gravesite in Aurora Cemetery
1897: An Alien Air vessel Crashes In Texas Due to this sighting, it appears that Americans were already interested in extraterrestrial life as early as the 19th century because the Aurora story was published in Texas newspapers during that time. One Aurora resident decided to write about the encounter stating that an aircraft had crashed, killing the pilot who was then buried in the local cemetery.

The 1940s: Foo Fighters Confuse The Military This refers not to a band, but to the UFO visitors. However, the band was named after these peculiar visitors, who was spotted by military personnel to have interfered in aerial battles in several theaters during WWII.
Battle of Los Angeles
1942: The Los Angeles Battle Shocks The West Coast In one of the strangest episodes in America’s relationship with the aliens on February 24, 1942, the city got into battle when these strange objects were rumored to be flying and running around overhead. Read more: Battle of Los Angeles, 1942
1947: A Strange Object Crashes In Roswell Roswell is the most notorious encounter in American alien history. A strange aircraft crashed in Roswell, New Mexico, and what happened afterward is the birth of alien myth-making ever since. Whether you are a believer of alien phenomena from other planets or not, it seems more likely that encounters can be explained by weird natural phenomena, military testing, or just people being credulous. Read more: Roswell UFO Incident
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the most documented UFO case in Australian history – the April 6, 1966, sighting of a flying saucer by over 200 witnesses, who saw it fly overhead for several minutes before briefly landing and taking off again near two schools in the Melbourne suburb of Westall.
The Westall UFO case has been the subject of several Australian news reports anddocumentaries, which have tried to find answers to the mystery of what precisely had landed. Recent whistleblower testimonies provide a compelling answer – the flying saucer was part a secret Australian aerospace program involving the development of antigravity technology in cooperation with the U.S. and Great Britain.
There have long been unconfirmed reports that the US, along with the United Kingdom, began developing a secret space program with the assistance of Nazi scientists extracted from Germany soon after the end of World War II. Early Nazi flying saucer prototypes called “Vril” were allegedly secretly removed from Germany and shared equally by the US and Britain as required by wartime agreements.
These technology exchange agreements date back to Britain’s “Tizard Mission” where a delegation of British scientists led by Henry Tizard traveled to the U.S. in September 1940, and shared British technologies in advance of an expected Nazi German invasion of Britain.
What is undisputed fact is that 1500 leading Nazi aerospace scientists were extracted to the USA under Project Paperclip, and hundreds of others were evacuated to the United Kingdom by an elite military group called T-Force which forcibly abducted them when necessary.
The former Nazi scientists were put to work in U.S. and British laboratories to develop a new generation of rockets based on the V-2, which were ultimately used to establish nuclear ballistic missiles and also the NASA space program.
Other Nazi scientists were allegedly secretly assigned to develop antigravity space craft using principles of high energy plasma and high voltage electrostatic charges.
High energy plasma, which would circulate around a highly conductive ring at very high revolutions per minute, was a speciality field of one of the Nazi scientists brought to the U.S. by Project Paperclip. Professor Winfried Otto Schumann. He was allegedly involved in developing the first Vril flying saucers in the 1920’s and 1930’s.
Click Image to Enlarge
Schumann’s name appears on the list of scientists requested by the US Army Air Force (predecessor to the US Air Force established in September 1947) back in 1946, which suggests that his speciality was important for highly classified aerospace projects being studied at the highly classified Dayton, Ohio, aerospace facility.
The first documented reference to electrostatics as a means of antigravity propulsion (electrogravitics) can be found in a 1928 British patent by Thomas Townsend Brown for an electrogravitic device called a gravitator. This has come to be called the Biefeld-Brown Effect, and was incorporated in a 1952 bid by Brown to the U.S. Navy to build a fleet of flying saucer craft called Project Winterhaven.
According to official records, Project Winterhaven was turned down by the U.S. Navy and a subsequent attempt by Brown to fund it through a non-profit foundation resulted in failure. In December 2015, William Tompkins, a retired aerospace engineer came forward to reveal that the U.S. Navy had secretly funded the development of flying saucer craft after all.
According to Tompkins, this was done by the Navy approaching private aerospace contractors such as Douglas Aircraft Company, to design and eventually build an assortment of antigravity vehicles.
Tompkins, revealed that while he worked at Douglas’ Advanced Design (1951-1963), he was responsible for submitting designs for kilometer long space craft using antigravity technologies, to the U.S. Navy in “unsolicited bids.” These early designs were used for constructing U.S. Navy space battlegroups which began deployment in 1984, as the Solar Warden Space Program.
The U.S. antigravity space program involved leading think tanks and aerospace companies such as Douglas Aircraft Company and the RAND Corporation, which was an off-shoot of Douglas. At the time, Douglas was the leading U.S. manufacturer of advanced military aircraft, and had created a classified think tank called Advanced Design, which was split off to form RAND, according to Tompkins.
Tompkins said that he was directly involved in a covert Navy intelligence program, which had discovered during World War II that up to 30 different flying saucer prototypes had been developed by the Nazis. These Nazi prototypes, or designs for them, were closely studied in U.S. and British laboratories after the war.
Douglas Memo Confirming Antigravity Research by William Tompkins superiors – Click image to enlarge
Further, Tompkins states that he worked under two senior scientists at Douglas, Dr. William Klemperer and Elmer Wheaton, who were actively researching antigravity principles and UFOs. Wheaton left Douglas in 1962 to take charge of similar projects tain and the U.S.
In Australia, the Aeronautical Research Laboratories (1949-1994) was actively involved in classified antigravity research, according to a research physicist, Stan Deyo. Deyo has revealed that when he traveled to Melbourne, Australia in May 1972, he was given a letter of introduction to the head of Aeronautical Research Laboratories, located at Fishermans Bend, where Deyo could continue the antigravity research he had earlier begun in the U.S.at Lockeheed’s Skunkworks. Tompkins has supplied a document (on right) that confirms that his superiors were working on antigravity in the 1950’s, as he claimed.
Similar antigravity research was underway in Great Britain involving think tanks and leading aerospace companies. In 1956, a London based organization called “Gravity Rand” published a scientific discussion paper called “The Gravitics Situation,” which revealed the extensive research being conducted by leading aerospace scientists in Britain.
The U.S. and Britain were not alone in researching or developing antigravity technologies. In 1956, Interavia Magazine reported: “There are gravity research projects in every major country of the world. A few are over 30 years old.” Among these countries was Australia, a staunch ally of both Bri
Click image to enlarge
The letter was written by Dr. James B. Maxfield, a Texas radiologist, who was recommending Deyo as someone familiar with antigravity research, who could help the Aeronautical Research Laboratories in its own program. According to Maxfield’s letter, first released in Deyo’s book, The Cosmic Conspiracy, Maxfield had an interest, as did the father of the Hydrogen Bomb, Dr. Edward Teller, in the field of antigravity.
According to Deyo, Teller headed the antigravity research program in the U.S., and was actively assisting major allies such as Australia and the UK in their own respective programs. Deyo provided a second letter from Dr. Maxfield, discussing a planned future visit by Teller to Melbourne, which was part of a secret U.S. and Australian cooperation on antigravity technology.
Support for Deyo’s claim is found in an article published in November 1955 by the New York Herald Tribune, which identified Teller’s leading role in U.S. antigravity research:
The initial steps of an almost incredible program to solve the secret of gravity and universal gravitation are being taken today in many of America’s top scientific laboratories and researcher centers… These include Dr Edward Teller of the University of California.
Deyo’s testimony is further supported by Bob Lazar, an innovative rocket propulsion engineer turned whistleblower, who says that it was Dr. Teller who recruited him to join a classified facility at Area 51 called S-4, where he witnessed nine antigravity spacecraft that were being secretly studied. According to a former CIA Agent, Kewper, who claims to have visited S-4 in 1958, four of the flying saucer craft were early German designs, two of which were called “Vril”.
Finally, in his autobiography, Memoirs: A Twentieth-Century Journey in Science and Politics, Teller confirms his friendship with Dr. James Maxfield who had contacts with some of Australia’s leading industrialists (p.496). This included Lang Hancock, a very wealthy Australian mining magnate who was Maxfield’s personal friend. Teller’s biography confirms the role Maxfield played in organizing at least two of Teller’s trips to Australia where he met with Hancock and other influential Australians.
During his May 1972 Melbourne visit, Deyo was surprised to learn how knowledgeable the Australian scientists were about antigravity principles, and even witnessed a prototype flying saucer craft at one of the Aeronautical Research Laboratories workshops at Fishermans Bend.
Tompkins and Deyo’s testimony, along with that of other whistleblowers, suggest that from the 1950’s, Australia closely worked with Great Britain and the U.S. in developing antigravity spacecraft, some of which resembled flying saucers. This establishes the possibility that the 1966 Westall incident was part of a classified antigravity vehicle test.
As the top graphic illustrates, Fishermans Bend is only 25 kilometers flying distance from the Westall area (now South Clayton), across Port Phillip Bay. Furthermore, it is only 30 kilometers across the Bay from Australia’s oldest aviation facility located at the RAAF Base Point Cook.
If Australia was testing antigravity vehicles, then either Fishermans Bend or Point Cook could have been used since both are adjacent to Port Phillip Bay where the craft could fly over a large body of water largely undetected.
Such a possibility is supported by some of the witnesses to the Westall incident who described camouflaged military personnel – thought to be American special forces – who quickly sanitized the flying saucer landing area. The rapid response of some of the military personnel – as little as 20 minutes according to witnesses – suggests the personnel were stationed nearby to monitor a test.
One Australian UFO researcher, Keith Basterfield, has found that a classified program called HIBAL involving high altitude balloons, was officially scheduled for a launch on April 5, 1966, one day before the Westall incident, but could have actually occurred on the same day. While he proposed Project HIBAL as a possible explanation for the Westall sighting itself, a more plausible answer is that it was a cover program for a more highly classified flying saucer program.
Leaked National Security Agency files by Edward Snowden confirm that the military intelligence community in the U.S. and its Echelon partners (Australia, Britain, Canada and New Zealand) will use a classified program as a cover for an even more highly classified program.
The flying saucer issue, as pointed out by Wilbert Smith, a former Senior Engineer with the Canadian Department of Transportation, were the most classified matter in the U.S. national security system. Consequently, a classified high altitude balloon program (HIBAL) would have been a very effective cover for a more highly classified Australian flying saucer program.

What now takes on special significance is the August 1966 visit to Australia by Teller, which he wrote about in Memoirs: A Twentieth-Century Journey in Science and Politics(p. 497). He refers to Dr. James Maxfield as having suggested the visit to him.
Given Maxfield’s two letters to Deyo in 1972, revealing Maxfield and Teller’s interest in antigravity research, this suggests that the 1966 visit also very likely involved antigravity research. Consequently, the April 6, 1966 Westall flying saucer incident can be linked to Teller’s first visit to Australia four months later, and was possibly a test of an antigravity flying saucer, where HIBAL was used as a cover program for national security reasons.
Finally, we have the not insignificant fact that Rear Admiral Rico Botta, identified by Tompkins as the U.S. Navy officer in command of a covert espionage program with 29 spies in Nazi Germany, learning about the development of antigravity spacecraft, was born and raised in the Australian city of Melbourne, before emigrating to the U.S. in 1908, at age 18.
The cooperation between the U.S., Britain and Australia in developing and testing of flying saucer craft using principles of antigravity, dating as far back as the 1950’s, provides a compelling explanation for some of the many UFO sightings in Australia. Among these, the 1966 Westall flying saucer incident stands out as one that likely has a very worldly explanation – the top secret cooperation between Australia, the U.S. and Britain in developing antigravity vehicles for a secret space program.

The Nikola Tesla Interview Hidden for 116 Years!
The Nikola Tesla Interview Hidden for 116 Years!
In 1899 Tesla gave this interview which has rarely ever been published for over 100 years. In it Tesla pulls no punches and reveals the great conspiracy of science that was well under way, the suppression of ether and the introduction of a new fake science to conceal it as well as to suppress the work of Tesla himself.
Once, in 1899, Nikola Tesla had an interview with a certain journalist, John Smith, when Tesla said, “Everything is the light.” In one of its rays is the fate of nations, each nation has its own ray in that great light source, which we see as the Sun.
In this interview this greatest inventor and seer of modern time unravels a new vision of humanity which we, the light warriors of the first and the last hour, have created a century later. A must read for every Ascended Master from the PAT.
Part of this interview is dedicated to Tesla’s critics on Einstein’s theory of relativity that discards the ether as energy. I have proved in the new Theory of the Universal Law why Einstein’s theory of relativity is entirely wrong and why there is no vacuum (void), and that everything is energy. Thus I confirm Tesla’s ideas as expressed in this interview.
George, May 7, 2015
Journalist: Mr. Tesla, you have gained the glory of the man who got involved in the cosmic processes. Who are you, Mr. Tesla?
Tesla:It is a right question, Mr. Smith, and I will try to give you the right answer to it.
Journalist: Some say you’re from the country of Croatia, from the area called Lika, where together with the people are growing trees, rocks and starry sky. They say that your home village is named after the mountain flowers, and that the house, where you were born, is next to the forest and the church.
Tesla: Really, all it true. I’m proud of my Serbian origin and my Croatian homeland.
Journalist: Futurists say that the Twenty-and Twenty First Century was born in head of Nikola Tesla. They celebrate conversely magnetic field and sing hymns to Inductions engine. Their creator was called the hunter who caught the light in his net from the depths of the earth, and the warrior who captured fire from heaven. Father of alternating current will make the Physics and Chemistry dominate half the world. Industry will proclaim him as their supreme saint, a banker for the largest benefactors. In the laboratory of Nikola Tesla for the first time is broken atom.
There is created a weapon that causes the earthquake vibrations. There are discovered black cosmic rays. Five races will pray to him in the Temple of the future, because they had taught a great secret that Empedocles elements can be watered with the life forces from the ethers.
Tesla: Yes, these are some of my most important discoveries. I’m a defeated man. I have not accomplished the greatest thing I could.
Journalist: What is it, Mr. Tesla?
Tesla: I wanted to illuminate the whole earth. There is enough electricity to become a second sun. Light would appear around the equator, as a ring around Saturn.
Mankind is not ready for the great and good. In Colorado Springs I soaked the earth by electricity. Also we can water the other energies, such as positive mental energy. They are in the music of Bach or Mozart, or in the verses of great poets. In the Earth’s interior, there are energy of Joy, Peace and Love. Their expressions are a flower that grows from the Earth, the food we get out of her and everything that makes man’s homeland. I’ve spent years looking for the way that this energy could influence people. The beauty and the scent of roses can be used as a medicine and the sun rays as a food.
Life has an infinite number of forms, and the duty of scientists is to find them in every form of matter. Three things are essential in this. All that I do is a search for them. I know I will not find them, but I will not give up on them.
Journalist: What are these things?
Tesla: One issue is food. What a stellar or terrestrial energy to feed the hungry on Earth? With what wine watered all thirsty, so that they can cheer in their heart and understand that they are Gods?
Another thing is to destroy the power of evil and suffering in which man’s life passes! They sometimes occur as an epidemic in the depths of space. In this century, the disease had spread from Earth in the Universe.
The third thing is: Is there an excess Light in the Universe? I discovered a star that by all the astronomical and mathematical laws could disappear, and that nothing seems to be modified. This star is in this galaxy. Its light can occur in such density that fits into a sphere smaller than an apple, a heavier than our Solar System. Religions and philosophies teach that man can become the Christ, Buddha and Zoroaster. What I’m trying to prove is wilder, and almost unattainable. This is what to do in the Universe so every being is born as Christ, Buddha or Zoroaster.
I know that gravity is prone to everything you need to fly and my intention is not to make flying devices (aircraft or missiles), but teach individual to regain consciousness on his own wings … Further; I am trying to awake the energy contained in the air. There are the main sources of energy. What is considered as empty space is just a manifestation of matter that is not awakened.
No empty space on this planet, nor in the Universe.. In black holes, what astronomers talk about, are the most powerful sources of energy and life.
Journalist: On the window of your room in hotel “Valdorf-Astoria”, on the thirty-third floor, every morning, the birds arrive.
Tesla: A man must be sentimental towards the birds. This is because of their wings. Human had them once, the real and visible!
Journalist: You have not stopped flying since those distant days in Smiljan!
Tesla:I wanted to fly from the roof and I fell: Children’s calculations could be wrong. Remember, the youth wings have everything in life!
Journalist: Have you ever married? It is not known that you have affection for love or for a woman. Photos from the youth show you were handsome man.
Tesla: Yes. I did not. There are two views: a lot affection or not at all. The center serves to rejuvenate human race. Women for certain people nurtures and strengthen its vitality and spirit. Being single does the same to other people. I chose that second path.
Journalist: Your admirers are complaining that you attacking relativity. The strange is your assertion that the matter has no energy. Everything is imbued with energy, where it is?
Tesla: First was energy, then matter.
Journalist: Mr. Tesla, it’s like when you said that you were born by your father, and not on you.
Tesla: Exactly! What about the birth of the Universe? Matter is created from the original and eternal energy that we know as Light .It shone, and there have been appear star, the planets, man, and everything on the Earth and in the Universe. Matter is an expression of infinite forms of Light, because energy is older than it. There are four laws of Creation. The first is that the source of all the baffling, dark plot that the mind cannot conceive, or mathematics measure. In that plot fit the whole Universe.
The second law is spreading a darkness, which is the true nature of Light, from the inexplicable and it’s transformed into the Light. The third law is the necessity of the Light to become a matter of Light. The fourth law is: no beginning and no end; three previous laws always take place and the Creation is eternal.
Journalist: In the hostility to the theory of relativity you go so far, that you hold lectures against its Creator at your birthday parties..
Tesla: Remember, it is not curved space, but the human mind which cannot comprehend infinity and eternity! If relativity has been clearly understood by its Creator, he would gain immortality, even yet physically, if he is pleased.
I am part of a light, and it is the music. The Light fills my six senses: I see it, hear, feel, smell, touch and think. Thinking of it means my sixth sense. Particles of Light are written note. O bolt of lightning can be an entire sonata. A thousand balls of lightning is a concert.. For this concert
I have created a Ball Lightning, which can be heard on the icy peaks of the Himalayas. About Pythagoras and mathematics a scientist may not and must not infringe of these two. Numbers and equations are signs that mark the music of the spheres. If Einstein had heard these sounds, he would not create theories of relativity. These sounds are the messages to the mind that life has meaning, that the Universe exists in perfect harmony, and its beauty is the cause and effect of Creation. This music is the eternal cycle of stellar heavens.
The smallest star has completed composition and also, part of the celestial symphony. The man’s heartbeats are part of the symphony on the Earth. Newton learned that the secret is in geometric arrangement and motion of celestial bodies. He recognized that the supreme law of harmony exists in the Universe. The curved space is chaos, chaos is not music. Einstein is the messenger of the time of sound and fury.
Journalist: Mr. Tesla, do you hear that music?
Tesla: I hear it all the time. My spiritual ear is as big as the sky we see above us. My natural ear I increased by the radar. According to the Theory of Relativity, two parallel lines will meet in infinity. By that Einstein’s curved will straighten. Once created, the sound lasts forever. For a man it can vanish, but continues to exist in the silence that is man’s greatest power.
No, I have nothing against Mr. Einstein. He is a kind person and has done many good things, some of which will become part of the music. I will write to him and try to explain that the ether exists, and that its particles are what keep the Universe in harmony, and the life in eternity.
Journalist: Tell me, please, under what conditions Angel adopt on the Earth?
Tesla: I have ten of them. Keep good records vigilant.
Journalist: I will document all your words, Dear Mr. Tesla.
Tesla: The first requirement is a high awareness of its mission and work to be done. It must, if only dimly, exist in the early days. Let us not be falsely modest; Oak knows that it is oak tree, a bush beside him being a bush. When I was twelve, I have been sure I will get to Niagara Falls. For most of my discoveries I knew in my childhood that I will achieve them, although not entirely apparent … The second condition to adapt is determination. All that I might, I finished.
Journalist: What is the third condition of adjustment, Mr. Tesla?
Tesla: Guidance for all the vital and spiritual energies in labor. Therefore purification of the many effects and needs that man has. I therefore have not lost anything, but just gained.
So I enjoyed every day and night. Write down: Nikola Tesla was a happy man… The fourth requirement is to adjust the physical assembly with a work.
Journalist: What do you mean, Mr. Tesla?
Tesla: First, the maintenance of the assembly. Man’s body is a perfect machine. I know my circuit and what’s good for him. Food what nearly all people eat, to me it is harmful and dangerous. Sometimes I visualize that chefs in the world are all in conspiracy against me … Touch my hand.
Journalist: It was cold.
Tesla: Yes. Bloodstream can be controlled, and many processes in and around us. Why are you frightened young man?
Journalist: It’s a story that Mark Twain wrote a mysterious stranger, that wonderful book of Satan, inspired by you.
Tesla: The word “Lucifer” is more charming. Mr. Twain likes to joke. As a child I was healed once by reading his books. When we met here and told him about, he was so touched that he cried. We became friends and he often came to my lab. Once he requested to show him a machine that by vibration provokes a feeling of bliss. It was one of those inventions for entertainment, what I sometimes like to do.
I warned Mr. Twain as not to remain under these vibrations. He did not listen and stayed longer. It ended by being, like a rocket, holding pants, darted into a certain room. It was a diabolically funny, but I kept the seriousness.
But, to adjust the physical circuit, in addition to food, dream is very important . From a long and exhausting work, which required superhuman effort, after one hour of sleep I’d be fully recovered. I gained the ability to manage sleep, to fell asleep and wake up in the time which I have designated. If I do something what I do not understand, I force myself to think about it in my dream, and thus find a solution.
Tesla: The fifth condition of adjustment is memory. Perhaps in the most people, the brain is keeper of knowledge about the world and the knowledge gained through the life. My brain is engaged in more important things than remembering, it is picking what is required at a given moment. This is all around us. It should only be consumed. Everything that we once saw, hear, read and learn, accompanies us in the form of light particles. To me, these particles are obedient and faithful.
Goethe’s Faust, my favorite book, I learned by heart in German as a student, and now it can all recite. I held my inventions for years ‘in my head “, and only then I realized them.
Journalist: You often mentioned the power of visualization.
Tesla: I might have to thank to visualization for all that I invented. The events of my life and my inventions are real in front of my eyes, visible as each occurrence or the item. In my youth I was frightened of not knowing what it is, but later, I learned to use this power as an exceptional talent and gift. I nurtured it, and jealously guarded. I also made corrections by visualization on most of my inventions, and finish them that way, by visualization I mentally solve complex mathematical equations. For that gift I have, I will receive rank High Lama in Tibet.
My eyesight and hearing are perfect and, dare to say, stronger than other people. I hear the thunder of a hundred fifty miles away, and I see colors in the sky that others cannot see. This enlargement of vision and hearing, I had as a child. Later I consciously developed.
Journalist: In youth you have several times been seriously ill. Is it a disease and a requirement to adapt?
Tesla: Yes. It is often the result of a lack of exhaustion or vital force, but often the purification of mind and body from the toxins that have accumulated. It is necessary that a man suffers from time to time. The source of most disease is in the spirit. Therefore the spirit and can cure most diseases. As a student I got sick of cholera which raged in the region of Lika. I was cured because my father finally allowed me to study technology, which was my life. Illusion for me was not a disease, but the mind’s ability to penetrate beyond the three dimensions of the earth.
I had them all my life, and I have received them as all other phenomena around us. Once, in childhood, I was walking along the river with Uncle and said: “From the water will appear the trout, I’ll throw a stone and it is cut.” That’s what happened. Frightened and amazed, his uncle cried: “Bade retro Satan’s!” He was an educated and he spoke in Latin …
I was in Paris when I saw my mother’s death. In the sky, full of light and music floated are wonderful creatures. One of them had a mother’s character, who was looking at me with infinite love. As the vision disappeared, I knew that my mother died.
Journalist: What is the seventh adjustment, Mr. Tesla?
Tesla:The knowledge of how the mental and vital energy transform into what we want, and achieve control over all feelings. Hindus call it Kundalini Yoga. This knowledge can be learned, for what they need many years or is acquired by birth. The most of them I acquired by birth. They are in the closest connection with a sexual energy that is after the most widespread in the Universe. The woman is the biggest thief of that energy, and thus the spiritual power.
I’ve always knew that and was alerted. Of myself I created what I wanted: a thoughtful and spiritual machine.
Journalist: A ninth adjustment, Mr. Tesla?
Tesla:Do everything that any day, any moment, if possible, not to forget who we are and why we are on Earth. Extraordinary people who are struggling with illness, privation, or the society which hurts them with its stupidity, misunderstanding, persecution and other problems which the country is full of a swamps with insects, leaves behind unclaimed until the end of the work. There are many fallen angels on Earth.
Journalist: What is the tenth adaptation?
Tesla: It is most important. Write that Mr. Tesla played. He played the whole of his life and enjoyed it.
Journalist: Mr. Tesla! Whether it relates to your findings and your work? Is this a game?
Tesla: Yes, dear boy. I have so loved to play with electricity! I always cringe when I hear about the one also the Greek who stole fire. A terrible story about studding, and eagles peck at his liver. Did Zeus did not have enough lightning and thunder, and was damaged for one fervor? There is some misunderstanding…
Lightning are the most beautiful toys that can be found. Do not forget that in your text stand out: Nikola Tesla was the first man who discovered lightning.
Journalist: Mr. Tesla, you’re just talking about angels and their adaptation to the Earth.
Tesla: Am I? This is the same. You could write this: he dared to take upon himself the prerogatives of Indri, Zeus and Peron. Imagine one of these gods in a black evening suit, with the bowler hat and wearing white cotton gloves prepares lightning, fires and earthquakes to the New York City elite!
Journalist: Readers love the humor of our paper. But you confuse me stating that your findings, which have immense benefits for the people, representing the game. Many will frown on it.
Tesla: Dear Mr. Smith, the trouble is that people are too serious. If they were not, they would be happier and much longer would have lived. Chinese proverb says that the seriousness reduces life. Visiting the inn Tai Pe guessed that he visits the Imperial Palace. But that the newspaper readers would not have frowned, let’s get back to things which they consider important.
Journalist: They would love to hear what your philosophy is.
Tesla: Life is a rhythm that must be comprehended. I feel the rhythm and direct on it and pamper in it. It was very grateful and gave me the knowledge I have. Everything that lives is related to a deep and wonderful relationship: man and the stars, amoebas’ and the sun, the heart and the circulation of an infinite number of worlds. These ties are unbreakable, but they can be tame and to propitiate and begin to create new and different relationships in the world, and that does not violate the old.
Knowledge comes from space; our vision is its most perfect set. We have two eyes: the earthly and spiritual. It is recommended that it become one eye. Universe is alive in all its manifestations, like a thinking animal.
Stone is a thinking and sentient being, such as plant, beast and a man. A star that shines asked to look at, and if we are not a sizeable self-absorbed we would understand its language and message. His breathing, his eyes and ears of the man must comply with breathing, eyes and ears of the Universe.
Journalist: As you say this, it seems to me like I hear Buddhist texts, words or Taoist Parazulzusa.
Tesla: That’s right! This means that there is general knowledge and truth that man has always possessed. In my feeling and experience, the Universe has only one substance and one supreme energy with an infinite number of manifestations of life. The best thing is that the discovery of a secret nature, reveals the other.
One cannot hide, there are around us, but we are blind and deaf to them. If we emotionally tie ourselves to them, they come to us themselves. There are a lot of apples, but one Newton. He asked for just one apple that fell in front of him.
Journalist: A question that might be set at the beginning of this conversation. What was Electricity for you, Dear Mr. Tesla?
Tesla: Everything is Electricity. First was the light, endless source from which points out material and distribute it in all forms that represent the Universe and the Earth with all its aspects of life. Black is the true face of Light, only we do not see this. It is remarkable grace to man and other creatures. One of its particles possesses light, thermal, nuclear, radiation, chemical, mechanical and an unidentified energy.
It has the power to run the Earth with its orbit. It is true Archimedean lever.
Journalist: Mr. Tesla, you’re too biased towards electricity.
Tesla:Electricity I am. Or, if you wish, I am the electricity in the human form. You are Electricity; too Mr. Smith, but you do not realize it.
Journalist: Is it thus your ability to allow fails of electricity of one million volts trough your body?
Tesla: Imagine a gardener who is attacked by herbs. This would indeed be crazy. Man’s body and brain are made from a large amount energy; in me there is the majority of electricity. The energy that is different in everyone is what makes the human “I” or “soul”. For other creatures to their essence, “soul” of the plant is the “soul” of minerals and animals.
Brain function and death is manifested in light. My eyes in youth were black, now blue, and as time goes on and strain the brain gets stronger, they are closer to white. White is the color of heaven. Through my window one morning, landed a white dove, which I fed. She wanted to bring me a word that she was dying. From her eyes the light jets were coming out. Never in the eyes of any creature had I not seen so much light, as in that pigeon.
Journalist: Personnel in your lab speak about flashes of light, flames and lightning that occur if you are angry or into kind of risk.
Tesla: It is the psychic discharge or a warning to be alert. The light was always on my side. Do you know how I discovered the rotating magnetic field and induction motor, which made me became famous when I was twenty-six? One summer evening in Budapest, I watched with my friend Sigetijem sunset.
Thousands of fire was turning around in thousands of flaming colors. I remembered Faust and recited his verses and then, as in a fog, I saw spinning magnetic field, and induction motor. I saw them in the sun!
Journalist: Hotel service telling that at the time of lightning you isolate into the room and talk to yourselves.
Tesla: I talk with lightning and thunder.
Journalist: With them? What language, Mr.Tesla?
Tesla: Mostly my native language. It has the words and sounds, especially in poetry, what is suitable for it.
Journalist: Readers of our magazine would be very grateful if you would interpret that.
Tesla: The sound does not exist only in the thunder and lightning, but, in transformation into the brightness and color. A color can be heard. Language is of the words, which means that it is from the sounds and colors. Every thunder and lightning are different and have their names. I call some of them by the names of those who were close in my life, or by those whom I admire.
In the sky brightness and thunder live my mother, sister, brother Daniel, a poet Jovan Jovanovic Zmaj and other persons of Serbian history. Names such AsIsaiah, Ezekiel, Leonardo, Beethoven, Goya, Faraday, Pushkin and all burning fires mark shoals and tangles of lightning and thunder, which does not stop all night bringing to the Earth precious rain and burning trees or villages.
There is lightning and thunder, and they are the brightest and most powerful, that will not vanish. They are coming back and I recognize them among the thousands.
Journalist: For you, science or poetry is the same?
Tesla:These are the two eyes of one person. William Blake was taught that the Universe was born from the imagination, that it maintains and it will exist as long as there is a last man on the Earth. With it was a wheel to which astronomers can collect the stars of all galaxies. It is the creative energy identical to the light energy.
Journalist: Imagination is more real to you than life itself?
Tesla: It gives birth to the life. I have fed by my taught; I’ve learned to control emotions, dreams and visions. I have always cherished, as I nurtured my enthusiasm. All my long life I spent in ecstasy. That was the source of my happiness. It helped me during all these years to bear with work, which was enough for the five lives. The best is to work at night, because the stellar light, and close bond.
Journalist: You said that I am, like every being, the Light. This flatter me, but I confess, I do not quite understand.
Tesla: Why would you need to understand, Mr. Smith? Suffice it to believe it. Everything is light. In one its ray is the fate of nations, each nation has its own ray in what great light source we see as the sun. And remember: no one who was there did not die. They transformed into the light, and as such exist still. The secret lies in the fact that the light particles restore their original state.
Journalist: This is the resurrection!
Tesla: I prefer to call it: return to a previous energy. Christ and several others knew the secret. I am searching how to preserve human energy. It is forms of Light, sometimes straight like heavenly light. I have not looked for it for my own sake, but for the good of all. I believe that my discoveries make people’s lives easier and more bearable, and channel them to spirituality and morality.
Journalist: Do you think that time can be abolished?
Tesla: Not quite, because the first feature of the energy is that it transforms. It is in perpetual transformation, as clouds of Taoists. But it is possible to leverage the fact that a man preserves consciousness after the earthly life. In every corner of the universe exist energy of life; one of them is immortality, whose origin is outside of man, waiting for him.
The universe is spiritual; we are only half that way. The Universe is more moral than us, because we do not know his nature and how to harmonize our lives with it. I am not scientist, science is perhaps the most convenient way to find the answer to the question that always haunt me, and which my days and nights turned into fire.
Journalist: What’s the matter?
Tesla: How are your eyes brightened!… What I wanted to know is: what happens to a falling star as the sun goes out? Stars fall like dust or seed in this or in other worlds, and the sun be scattered in our minds, in the lives of many beings, what will be reborn as a new light, or cosmic wind scattered in infinity.
I understand that this is necessary included in the structure of the Universe. The thing is, though, is that one of these stars and one of these suns, even the smallest, preserves.
Journalist: But, Mr. Tesla, you realize that this is necessary and is included in the constitution of the world!
Tesla: When a man becomes concuss; that his highest goal must be to run for a shooting star, and tries to capture it; shall understand that his life was given to him because of this and will be saved. Stars will eventually be capable to catch!
Journalist: And what will happen then?
Tesla:The creator will laugh and say: ”It fall only that you chase her and grab her.”
J ournalist: Isn’t all of this contrary to the cosmic pain, which so often you mention in your writings? And what is it cosmic pain?
Tesla: No, because we are on Earth … It is an illness whose existence the vast majority of people are not aware of. Hence, many other illnesses, suffering, evil, misery, wars and everything else what makes human life an absurd and horrible condition. This disease cannot be completely cured, but awareness shall make it less complicated and hazardous. Whenever one of my close and dear people were hurt, I felt physical pain. This is because our bodies are made as of similar material, and our soul related with unbreakable strands. Incomprehensible sadness that overwhelmed us at times means that somewhere, on the other side on this planet, a child or generous man died.
The entire Universe is in certain periods sick of itself, and of us. Disappearance of a star and the appearance of comets affect us more than we can imagine. Relationships among the creatures on the Earth are even stronger, because of our feelings and thoughts the flower will scent even more beautiful or will fall in silence.
These truths we must learn in order to be healed. Remedy is in our hearts and evenly, in the heart of the animals that we call the Universe.

Update: The interview is possibly fake, as the theory of relativity was not developed in 1899. At the same time, Tesla could have known the insights of Einstein's work long before the latter published his famous paper. As always, be your own judge.

Nieuwe film laat zien dat UFO’s onze kernwapens in de gaten houden
Nieuwe film laat zien dat UFO’s onze kernwapens in de gaten houden
Meer dan 150 legerveteranen, officieren en beveiligers zeggen mysterieuze indringers te hebben gezien boven kerninstallaties. In de Koude Oorlog werden in het kernwapentestgebied inNevada honderden kernproeven uitgevoerd.
In 1955 werden tijdens Operatie Teapot bijvoorbeeld 14 atoombommen tot ontploffing gebracht. Duizenden militairen waren hier getuigen van. Er waren echter ook andere getuigen, meldt de Amerikaanse zender KLAS-TV.
“Het waren zogeheten vliegende schotels,” zei een voormalig fotograaf die werkzaam was in het testgebied. “Ze werden toen al vaak gezien boven het kernwapentestgebied.”
Ingegrepen
Meer dan 150 andere legerveteranen, officieren en anderen die meewerkten aan het kernwapenprogramma vertellen hetzelfde verhaal. “UFO’s houden onze kernwapens al decennia in de gaten en hebben zelfs ingegrepen,” zei schrijver en onderzoeker Robert Hastings.
Uit vrijgegeven documenten van het Amerikaanse ministerie van Energie blijkt dat UFO’s zijn waargenomen boven alle grote kernwapeninstallaties. Boven het Los Alamos National Lab, waar de bommen zijn ontworpen, en ook boven Hanford, waar plutonium is verwerkt.
“Burgers die in de buurt van het testgebied woonden zagen soms UFO’s die in formatie vlogen,” aldus Hastings. In een nieuwe film laat hij zien dat UFO’s niet alleen met gemak het gesloten luchtruim boven kernbases weten binnen te dringen, maar ook kernraketten hebben uitgeschakeld.
Lichtstralen
In één van de gevallen zagen legerfotografen hoe een UFO een raket uitschakelde die vanaf vliegbasis Vandenberg was gelanceerd. “Plotseling verscheen er een schijf met een koepel in beeld die om de raket cirkelde en er vier lichtstralen op afvuurde, waarna de raket in zee stortte en de UFO verdween,” zei Hastings.
Boven het kernwapentestgebied in Nevada werden zo vaak UFO’s gezien dat er hele teams werden samengesteld om ze vanuit een speciaal gebouw in de gaten te houden. “Ze gaven allemaal licht en waren schijfvormig,” zei oud-beveiliger Walter Levine. “Sommige waren rechthoekig van vorm.”
Ook boven kerninstallaties in Groot-Brittannië, Rusland, India, Pakistan en andere kernmachten zijn onbekende vliegende objecten waargenomen. “Wie zitten er achter deze incidenten en waarom?” vraagt KLAS-TV zich af.
OF wij mensen ooit op de maan zijn geweest, is nog steeds onderwerp van heftige discussies.
Dat anderen daar zeker wél zijn geweest, blijkt uit de ontdekking enkele dagen geleden van een buitenaardse basis op de Maan.
Volgens sommigen is de Maan een soort Emmentaler gatenkaas, maar dat lijkt niet het geval.
De maan ziet er een beetje pokdalig uit vanwege waarschijnlijk allerlei soorten inslagen die in de loop der jaren hebben plaatsgevonden op het oppervlak van de Maan.
Daarom zien we zoveel kraters en één van die kraters heet de Tycho krater.
Tycho is één van de bekendste inslagkraters op de maan genoemd naar de 16e-eeuwse Deense astronoom Tycho Brahe.
Tycho heeft een diameter van 85 km en een diepte van 4850 meter.
Tycho is een zeer jonge (ouderdom geschat op 108 miljoen jaar) en heldere krater, die goed opvalt bij volle maan.
Het is deze volgens de Wikipedia zeer jonge krater, waarin de inmiddels bekende Youtube gebruiker Streetcap1 een bijzondere ontdekking heeft gedaan.
Zoals op de volgende afbeeldingen te zien, bevindt zich daar iets wat verdacht veel lijkt op een complex met gebouwen.
Het is niet vaak dat er zulke gedetailleerde opnames worden gevonden en het zal dan ook waarschijnlijk per ongeluk langs de censuur van NASA zijn gekomen.
De rechte hoeken zoals die zichtbaar zijn, kunnen uiteraard nooit iets “natuurlijks” zijn en de manier waarop ze bij elkaar staan gegroepeerd bewijst dat ze zijn gemaakt door intelligente wezens.
In de jaren zestig werkte Karl Wolfe als sergeant bij de Amerikaanse luchtmacht. Hij had in die tijd een vrij hoge security clearance, maar zeker niet de hoogste.
Hij werkte als fototechnisch specialist in de zomer van 1965 op de basis Langley Field in Virginia toen zijn baas vroeg of hij even wilde kijken bij de NSA, want die hadden wat problemen met apparatuur.
Jarenlang heeft Wolfe gedacht dat hij naar NASA werd gestuurd om daar een klusje op te knappen, ook omdat het te maken had met foto’s die in die tijd door de Lunar Orbiter waren gemaakt.
Wolfe zegt dat hij volkomen naïef was in die dagen en het al vreemd vond toen hij daar aan kwam dat er allemaal geleerde mensen stonden te praten die duidelijk afkomstig waren uit andere landen omdat ze allemaal verschillende talen spraken.
Het apparaat dat door Wolfe moest worden gerepareerd moest naar een andere ruimte worden gebracht omdat de plek waar het stond niet daarvoor geschikt was. Al de vreemde mensen verlieten de ruimte en volgens Wolfe hadden ze allemaal een soort bedrukte uitdrukking op hun gezicht.
Terwijl ze wachtten, bleef hij alleen achter met een soldaat die hem vertelde dat uit de foto’s die ze hadden ontvangen, bleek dat er zich aan de achterkant van de Maan een buitenaardse basis bevond.
Vervolgens liet hij Wolfe de foto’s zien, waarop duidelijk hele enorme gebouwen en hoge torens waren te onderscheiden.
Hierna volgt het verhaal van Karl Wolfe.
Het mysterie of er wel of geen mensen op de Maan zijn (geweest) is hiermee niet opgelost. Wel een bevestiging dat er hoe dan ook intelligente wezens actief zijn geweest op de Maan, in het geval dit een echte getuige/klokkenluider is.
This sounds like an amazing sighting, and I have never heard about it before. Any info about tall whites helps a lot. The police officer says that they moved oddly, which the do, because the shape of their leg (from the knee down) actually goes opposite direction from ours, but some kind of holo-emitter makes it appear human like, but they still cannot mask their odd walk. Here is an example of a real tall white youth caught by the Google Earth camera at a Mexico pyramid. Its since been deleted by Google but still exists on the net. Notice her legs? Those are the legs of a tall white, and her size says she is under 400 years old. Above 400 they grow another meter tall, until about 700 where they die a natural aged death. Scott C.

News states: Not many people know this, but back in 2009 a British police officer witnessed ‘Alien Beings’ inspecting a fresh crop circle in a middle of a field! The Police Sergeant who has not been named, witnessed the event back in 2009. The Policeman was off duty at the time when he noticed the unusual ‘Beings’ in the field.
The Police Officer pulled his car over and walked over to the field to see what was going on as he apparently had a ‘strange’ feeling about what he was seeing. However, as he approached the ‘men’ — who were all way over 6ft tall with long blond hair – he suddenly heard “the sound of static electricity” and the trio ran away ”faster than any man he had ever seen” so fast that it apparently almost seemed ‘unreal’. Leaving the scene of the strange event the Police Officer jumped quickly back into his car and travelled back home to Marlborough, Wiltshire, and then contacted paranormal experts and told them he had spotted a UFO. Not surprisingly the Police force that the Officer works for, refused to comment at the time and stated “That it was a personal matter!” The unnamed Police Officer asked for support off a Gentleman called Andrew Russell who is a Crop Circle Investigator. Andrew described in detail what the Police officer saw on that unusual day: ”At first he thought they were forensic officers as they were dressed in white coveralls. He stopped his car and approached the field. ‘The figures were all over 6ft and had blond hair. They seemed to be inspecting the crop. When he got to the edge of the field he heard what he believed to be a sound not dissimilar to static electricity.
”This crackling noise seemed to be running through the field and the crop was moving gently, close to where the noise was. ”He shouted to the figures who, at first, ignored him, not glancing at him. When he tried to enter the field they looked up and began running. ”He said; ‘They ran faster than any man I have ever seen. I’m no slouch but they were moving so fast. I looked away for a second and when I looked back they were gone. ”I then got scared. The noise was still around but I got an uneasy feeling and headed for the car. For the rest of the day I had a pounding headache I couldn’t shift.” This strange incident happened on July 6th as the Police Officer was driving down the road. Apparently the three very tall figures were inspecting the odd-shaped Crop Circle in the field. They all appeared deeply interested and analyzing the Crop Circle – was it them who made it, or possibly was it their fellow colleagues from a far!? Picture The crop circle had been there in the field for a few days before this incident. When the Police Officer walked over the unusual beings, they suddenly become ‘disturbed’ looking and ran off at speeds beyond the Officers belief! As soon as he looked away for a split second they were ‘gone’ A spokesman for Wiltshire Police said: ”The police officer was apparently off duty when this happened so we have no comment to make because it is a personal not a police matter.” Another Crop Circle Expert, Colin Andrews, who investigated the incident alongside Andrew Russell, said he is ”convinced” by the police officer’s story and does not see any reason at all why the Officer would of made this story up!
”I am quite convinced the officer had an experience that day and one that we have not fully explored.” I think with the unusual movement of the being and the poltergeist experiences there is too much additional information to say that is something in nothing.” He said Some have suspected that this was the Tall White Aliens that the Officer had witnessed. The Tall whites have even been acknowledged by Edward Snowden, who believes that they are very much in contact with Planet Earth and watching our every move.

Date of sighting: June 17, 2016 Location of sighting: Mexico volcano This UFO was caught on infrared video over a volcano in Mexico last month and shows a long UFO shooting away fast from the volcano area. Although it didn't come from the volcanos mouth, it only means that aliens are now using alternate exists around the volcano to slow down the attention that they have been getting. Scott C.

NASA Stream Catches A UFO Entering Into Earth’s Atmosphere
NASA Stream Catches A UFO Entering Into Earth’s Atmosphere
A massive UFO was observed on the live ISS stream entering the atmosphere of the Earth on July 9, 2016. According to the witness, who also uploaded the video to YouTube titled “UFO Enters Earth’s Atmosphere, July 9, 2016,” the UFO could be an alien craft in the sense that NASA cut live transmission as the mysterious object was about to enter Earth’s atmosphere.
The UFO hunter indicated in the video description that the apparent UFO could have been a meteor, but the video cut off when the UFO appeared to stop.
The YouTube user’s observations sparked contradicting comments among enthusiasts.
One user wrote that after a closer look, he was convinced that it was an artificial space object, such as space debris or junk, re-entering the atmosphere from orbit.
Another user agreed to the video uploader saying that if it was just a natural, identified object, then NASA could just let the streaming to continue and not cut it off.
Another UFO blogger said that the bizarre object was not a meteor or the Moon, but more likely the Chinese space station Tiangong-1 – a space station cargo ship from China. It is China’s first space station, which was launched unmanned into orbit in 2011.
Earlier in April, a NASA spokesperson denied allegations of cutting off their live feed every time a UFO or UFOs enter into the frame. The agency explained that the loss of video could be due to loss of signals from the ISS.
A SOUTH Devon man has described the moment he spotted a UFO which 'gave him the creeps' over the town on Sunday morning.
John Mooner, who lives in Newton Abbot, spotted a bright light hanging above a nearby housing estate in at 1.20am on Sunday.
When he noticed the light, he ran to get his camera, hoping to get a better look at the object. Through the viewfinder of his camera, he could make out the object, and explained that it was like nothing he'd ever seen before.
He said: "I looked out the kitchen window and saw a bright object hanging above a nearby housing estate and thought to myself that looks strange.
"I ran to get my Nikon P900 Camera and open the window wide and lent out to get a better look at the object. Looking through the viewfinder of my camera I began to zoom in and I could see the object clearly.
"The object was definitely not any type of known aircraft. The object was glowing bright orange and had a white pulsing light on the top left side. The object was large and just hung there silently over the housing estate it gave me the creeps."
After a while of watching the object something started to happen; the shape of the object started to change as a 'tube' emerged from underneath it.
John continued: "A tube began to extend from the middle of the object and when it was fully extended it glowed with a yellowish tinge. While making my observations I had been taking photographs and managed to capture the strange unknown object.
"I then felt tired and closed the kitchen window and put the camera on the side and went to bed. In the morning I was confused to why I had gone bed. Why didn't I take more photographs, why did I go to bed?
"What is this large object? It's not a helicopter or a plane what is it?
Western society continues to be fascinated with the paranormal, with musing over the possibility of UFOs not carrying the stigma that it used to.

The 1990s were a high-water mark for public interest in UFOs and alien abduction. Shows like The X-Files and Fox’salien autopsy hoax were prime-time events, while MIT even hosted an academic conference on the abduction phenomenon.
In 2006, historian Ben Macintyre suggested in The Times that the internet had “chased off” the UFOs. The web’s free-flowing, easy exchange of ideas and information had allowed UFO skeptics to prevail and, to Macintyre, people were no longer seeing UFOs because they no longer believed in them.
Data seemed to back up Macintyre’s argument that, when it came to belief in UFOs, reason was winning out. A 1990 Gallup poll found that 27 % of Americans believed “extraterrestrial beings have visited Earth at some time in the past”. That number rose to 33 % in 2001, before dropping back to 24 % in 2005.
But now The X-Filesis back, and Hillary Clinton has even pledged to disclose what the government knows about aliens if elected president. Meanwhile, a recent Boston Globe article by Linda Rodriguez McRobbie suggests that belief in UFOs may be growing.
She points to a 2015 Ipsos poll, which reported that 45 % of Americans believe extraterrestrials have visited the Earth.
So much for reason.
Why does Western society continue to be fascinated with the paranormal? If science doesn’t automatically kill belief in UFOs, why do reports of UFOs and alien abductions go in and out of fashion?
To some extent, this is political. Even though government agents like Men in Black may be the stuff of folklore, powerful people and institutions can influence the level of stigma surrounding these topics.
Sociologists of religion have also suggested that skepticism is countered by a different societal trend, something they’ve dubbed “re-enchantment”. They argue that while science can temporarily suppress belief in mysterious forces, these beliefs will always return – that the need to believe is ingrained in the human psyche.
A new mythology
The narrative of triumphant reason dates back, at least, to German sociologist Max Weber’s 1918 speech “Science as a Vocation”, in which he argued that the modern world takes for granted that everything is reducible to scientific explanations.
“The world,” he declared, “is disenchanted.”
As with many inexplicable events, UFOs were initially treated as an important topic of scientific inquiry. The public wondered what was going on; scientists studied the issue and then “demystified” the topic.
Modern UFOlogy – the study of UFOs – is typically dated to a sighting made by a pilot named Kenneth Arnold. While flying over Mount Rainier on June 24, 1947, Arnold described nine disk-like objects that the media dubbed “flying saucers.”
A few weeks later the Roswell Daily Register reported that the military had recovered a crashed flying saucer. By the end of 1947, Americans had reported an additional 850 sightings.
During the 1950s, people started reporting that they’d made contact with the inhabitants of these craft. Frequently, the encounters were erotic.
For example, one of the first “abductees” was a mechanic from California named Truman Bethurum. Bethurum was taken aboard a spaceship from Planet Clarion, which he said was captained by a beautiful woman named Aura Rhanes. (Bethurum’s wife eventually divorced him, citing his obsession with Rhanes.) In 1957, Antonio Villas-Boas of Brazil reported a similar encounter in which he was taken aboard a ship and forced to breed with a female alien.
Psychologists and sociologists proposed a few theories about the phenomenon. In 1957, psychoanalyst Carl Jung theorised that UFOs served a mythological function that helped 20th-century people adapt to the stresses of the Cold War. (For Jung, this did not preclude the possibility that UFOs might be real.)
Furthermore, American social mores were rapidly changing in the mid-20th century, especially around issues of race, gender and sexuality. According to historian W. Scott Poole, stories of sex with aliens could have been a way of processing and talking about these changes. For example, when the Supreme Court finally declared laws banning interracial marriage unconstitutional in 1967, the country had already been talking for years about Betty and Barney Hill, an interracial couple who claimed to have been probed by aliens.
Contactee lore also started applying “scientific ideas” as a way to repackage some of the mysterious forces associated with traditional religions. Folklore expert Daniel Wojcik has termed belief in benevolent space aliens as “techno-millennarianism.” Instead of God, some UFO believers think forms of alien technology will be what redeems the world.Heaven’s Gate – whose members famously committed mass suicide in 1995 – was one of several religious groups awaiting the arrival of the aliens.
You’re not supposed to talk about it
Despite some dubious stories from contactees, the air force took UFO sightings seriously, organising a series of studies, including Project Blue Book, which ran from 1952 to 1969.
In 1966, the air force tapped a team of University of Colorado scientists headed by physicist Edward Condon to investigate reports of UFOs. Even though the team failed to identify 30% of the 91 sightings it examined, its 1968 report concluded that it wouldn’t be useful to continue studying the phenomenon. Condon added that schoolteachers who allowed their students to read UFO-related books for classroom credit were doing a grave disservice to the students’ critical faculties and ability to think scientifically.
Basing its decision off the report, the air force terminated Project Blue Book and Congress ended all funding for UFO research.
As religion scholar Darryl Caterine explained in his book Haunted Ground, “With civil rights riots, hippie lovefests and antiwar protests raging throughout the nation, Washington gave its official support to a rational universe.”
While people still believed in UFOs, expressing too much interest in the subject now came with a price. In 2010, sociologists Christopher D. Bader, F. Carson Mencken and Joseph O. Baker found that 69% of Americans reported belief in at least one paranormal subject (astrology, ghosts, UFOs, etc.).
But their findings also suggested that the more status and social connections someone has, the less likely he or she is to report paranormal belief. Single people report more paranormal beliefs than married people and those with low incomes report more paranormal belief than those with high incomes. It may be that people with “something to lose” have reason not to believe in the paranormal (or at least not to talk about it).
In 1973, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics surveyed its membership about UFOs. Several scientists reported that they had seen unidentified objects and a few even answered that UFOs are extraterrestrial or at least “real”. However, physicist Peter A. Sturrock suggested that scientists felt comfortable answering these questions only because their anonymity was guaranteed.
Harvard psychiatrist John Mack came to symbolise the stigma of UFO research. Mack worked closely with abductees, whom he dubbed “experiencers.” While he remained cagey about whether aliens actually existed, he advocated for the experiencers and argued that their stories should be taken seriously.
His bosses weren’t happy. In 1994, Harvard Medical School opened an investigation into his research – an unprecedented action against a tenured professor. In the end, Harvard dropped the case and affirmed Mack’s academic freedom. But the message was clear: Being open-minded about aliens was bad for one’s career.
Reason and re-enchantment
So if Hillary Clinton is running for president, why is she talking about UFOs?
Part of the answer may be that the Clintons have ties to a network of influential people who have lobbied the government to disclose the truth about UFOs. This includes the late millionaire Laurence Rockefeller (who funded John Mack’s research) and John Podesta, the chairman of Clinton’s campaign and a long-time disclosure advocate.
But there may also be a broader cultural cycle at work. Sociologists such as Christopher Partridge have suggested that disenchantment leads to re-enchantment. While secularisation may have weakened the influence of traditional churches, this doesn’t mean that people have become disenchanted skeptics. Instead, many have explored alternate spiritualities that churches had previously stigmatised as “superstitions” (everything from holistic healing to Mayan prophecies). The rise of scientific authority may have paradoxically paved the way for UFO mythology.
A similar change may be happening in the political sphere where the language of critical thinking has been turned against the scientific establishment. In the 1960s, Congress deferred to the Condon Report. Today, conservative politicians regularly challenge ideas like climate change, evolution and the efficacy of vaccines. These dissenters never frame their claims as “anti-science” but rather as courageous examples of free inquiry.
Donald Trump may have been the first candidate to discover that weird ideas are now an asset instead of a liability. In a political climate where the language of reason is used to attack the authority of science, musing over the possibility of UFOs simply doesn’t carry the stigma that it used to.
