Over the last two and a half months, I have experienced two sightings on the gold coast and would like to communicate with others either here or elsewhere who may have seen the same thing.
The first sighting occured about two and a half months at about 10.15pm on a sunday night. I was on my front patio grabbing some fresh air, which faces an easterley direction, when a bright orange light caught my attention, coming out of the south. It appeared to be travelling at about 200-250 km’s an hr., at an elevation of approx 3000-4000 ft.
At first I thought it was an aircraft on fire, but as it got closer it appeared to be a round shape, with no discernible fueslage, no cabin lights, no nav lights, no rotors of any kind, and the colour was an incredibly bright orange, so bright in fact, that it reflected off the cloud bank directly behind it. Also I must stress that there was no sound whatsover from the ‘craft’ and also that it was a very quiet night with no wind. The area I live in is a very quiet residential suburb. It continued in a northerly direction until it became obvious that it was slowing down and in fact, it came to a complete stop. There was no hovering or sideways motion at this point as a helicopter might do, it stopped at a precise point and stayed there for about four or five minutes before it slowly took off again in a northerly direction and eventually disappeared.
The second sighting occurred about three weeks ago. I was sitting in my lounge room watching t.v. when I happened to look out my window, which faces a northerley direction, and coming out of the northern sky was an incredibly bright light, travellin at a speed a lot faster than the original object and a lot brighter. I called out to my wife, ‘it’s back again’, and we both ran out onto the front porch as the object came closer. as we both watched, the object slowed down and came to a complete stop in the sky, at a point very close to where the first object had stopped. the object seemed to be a lot closer than the first sighting, and again , the light was incredibly bright, this time however, it actually appeared to be a type of flame and actually appeared to be moving around the craft as a flame might move around in a light wind.
Unfortunately it came to a stop in such a position that a tree in my front yard stopped me getting a photograph of it. Again, it stopped for about four minutes, and waiting for it to move again, camera at the ready, we both observed it start to move very slowly, but unfortunately in a northerly direction. by the time I ran downstairs and out into the street, the object had dimmed greatly and even though I took a photo I doubt it would reveal anything.
As we both watched it move off into the northern sky, we were both amazed to see something fall off the craft, or possibly thrown out, which fell to earth at terminal speed and definitely appeared to be on fire. There were definitely flames and apparent burning debris coming from the falling object, and kept burning until it got closer to the surface, when it appeared to be extinguished. It definitely would have been over open ocean by this stage, somewhere north of Surfer’s and possibly near North Stradbroke or Moreton island.
MYSTERIOUS BOX CONTAINS DETAILED DRAWINGS OF WINGED ALIENS
A box has been found containing detailed drawings of alien beings, an unidentified flying object, and transcripts exploring the link between alien encounters and ancient religions. A user on Imgur posted a series of photos showing the contents of an old wooden box.
It appears to have belonged to a man named Daniel J. Christainsen who lived in Florida but was a native of the Netherlands. He may have been a WWII veteran—the box contained a blank paper with the Veterans Administration Medical Center header. He draws alien beings and describes them: “Every one had four faces and every one had four wings.” It is unclear whether his drawings relate to his own experiences or whether they are depictions of historical accounts
The musty box contains clues, but also raises many questions—it’s a mystery.

Incredible UFO Sighting in St. Martin (With Real UFO Footage), Nov 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Nov 29, 2016 Location of sighting: St. Martin island Here is a rare island sighing by a surfer at St. Martin island. Its a UFO in the shape of a thick half disk. The wind sound very powerful, and yet this UFO is just hovering above him with pulsating lights. I just wish he had more footage of it. Only the last minute of the video has the sighting. Just goes to show, that UFOs come out in all kinds of weather. Scott C. Waring Eyewitness states:
As a surfer, Jason had been living on the island of St. Martin in the caribbean in search of warm water waves. Over several days, he had a stretch of incredible UFO sightings. On one occasion, he took his iPad to the beach and did his best on getting actual evidence. The real authentic UFO footage is a bright light, hovering over the ocean pulsating. Clearly, it's not a plane (you'll see it zoomed in) and yet, it doesn't resemble a star. In this video, we show actual proof - video evidence of the UFO captured by Jason, along with him detailing the footage. Also, he discusses another incredible sighting he had just days after capturing this footage. You won't believe Jason's unreal UFO encounter!

Date of discovery: Nov 30, 2016 Location of discovery: Between IC 2031 and NGC 1475 1st method used: Google Sky map 2nd method used:Sky-Map.org Coordinates: 03 57 08.63,-07 11 26.2 While checking out Google sky I noticed something interesting. That every once in a while there was an unusual structure in space. These structures are usually balance and geometrical in shape, but sometimes rounded, with metallic tint to them. This particular one is cube, made up of smaller areas that are also cubes. Google Sky map was not as clear as I wanted, so I went to Sky-Map.org and found a similar sky map, but the quality of the detail is more focused. These are the photos above. Below are the photos from Google sky. The size of this space station is unknown since Google ruler is inaccurate in the sky version. However it looks Earth size or bigger in my opinion. Scott C.

Watch Large Group Of UFOs Leaving From The Surface Of The Moon
Watch Large Group Of UFOs Leaving From The Surface Of The Moon
A video showing multiple tiny bead-like structures leaving the Moon’s bottom surface has received thousands of views and mixed reactions. The so-called large group of UFOs leaving the Moon looks very luminous.
Despite being considered as deceptive, many viewers still believe the video shows aliens departing from the surface of the Moon.
One viewer posted that those were extraterrestrial beings wanting to establish New World Order, but they lost hope and decided to go home because Donald Trump won the election.
Talia Adagio1 added that they looked like they were landing instead of leaving as there was the same effect in reverse on the right side.
Even former hacker Gary McKinnon has joined the debate saying that the video doesn’t show alien activity, but just an optical illusion.
He said that as more people get better telescopes more footage of objects leaving the moon being observed. However, this particular video looked like far too many, Gary explained. He concluded that it must be visual artifacting.
Photographer John Biondo agreed to Gary saying that the video does not show UFOs, but a phenomenon often seen at the Moon’s edge. John explained that the event is called Chromatic Aberration, which can also be seen more if the lens is out of focus, such as the video in question.
Another viewer said that it was just an optical illusion as a result of the high air humidity and distorted light from the moon or reflected bright objects in the distance on the earth.
Others are convinced the video shows alien UFOs. They explained that seeing fleets of UFOs in orbit or move around the moon horizon can happen more often if the edge of the moon is observed well enough.
Some UFO hunters noted that many Apollo astronauts have claimed they saw UFOs on and near the moon. They suggested that these space objects are a form of protection from future moon landing missions. They explained that the Earth’s natural satellite might be owned by an alien species that’s not keen on sharing.
Hundreds of People See Fleet Of UFOs In Multiple Cities Across Turkey
Hundreds of People See Fleet Of UFOs In Multiple Cities Across Turkey
A group of UFOs observed in the sky above Turkey and “#ufoattacktoturkey” trended on Twitter as sky watchers posted strange videos on the social media platform.
The fleet of UFOs composed of four to five lights was seen over households across the country.
A video of the event also posted to YouTube channel SecureTeam10. It has been viewed thousands of times in less than 24 hours.
The video channel said that the fleet of unidentified lights was spotted in several cities all over the country of Turkey, causing many people to panic.
At one point on November 27, the channel claimed the hashtag became the number one trending topic in the world.
Twitter users have left equally baffled by the images.
One user commented that it is a very compelling stuff as many photos were being posted.
Another one wrote UFO invasion happening in Turkey as unidentified flying objects were witnessed in many cities of the country.
Other users expressed fear and hoped that the entire thing was a joke.
No official confirmation yet on the strange lights, but there were suggestions that they could be drones.
UFO Researchers Spot Mysterious Object On A Comet’s Surface
UFO Researchers Spot Mysterious Object On A Comet’s Surface
An object that resembles a stealth fighter jet has been noticed on a comet in images snapped by a spaceship.
The European Space Agency (ESA) launched the Rosetta space probe to investigate Comet P67. It announced they had ended the mission of the lander in September.
Now, alien hunters claim the space probe came across alien technology on the ball of rock before the mission ended.
The discovery was made public by prolific UFO hunters who posted pictures from the Rosetta. They said that craft has a tail fin like a plane and sides similar to a stealth fighter jet.
The alien researchers believe that the so-called UFO on the rock is not part of the comet’s surface because of the object’s white color.
They speculated that the ESA used their Rosetta lander to take closer photos of the mysterious object. They think the ESA announcement of ending their mission because the lander no longer responds is a ruse to make the public believe.
They explained that ESA continues their mission but this time for extraterrestrial technology that can be retrieved and used, like the one in the photo.
Hundreds Of People Spot A UFO Across Florida Skies
Hundreds Of People Spot A UFO Across Florida Skies
More than a hundred people witnessed a massive, mysterious object flying across the sky from West to Florida Panhandle at around 11 pm on November 23. The unidentified flying object (UFO), according to the witnesses on Florida’s western coast, looked like a fireball. People living in the area thought aliens invaded them after seeing the strange bright light in the night sky.
Many people from Key West to the Florida Panhandle, who observed the UFO, reported the strange sighting to the local authorities as alien invasion speculation unfolded.
Meteorologist Josh Stone, who works in ABC7, described the light as bright as the sun with a little rumbling after it disappeared. Josh claimed that the North Point Police Department even caught the unusual event on their dashboard cameras.
Some residents have concluded that the rare fireball was a UFO controlled by space aliens. It seemed like a lot of paranoia in social media as some were declaring it was indeed an alien invasion.
Unidentified flying object (UFO) is generally defined as any apparent anomaly or event in the sky that can’t be identified as known phenomenon or object. However, sometimes a UFO becomes identifiable because of the low quality of evidence.
Lookin' Good, Mars! ExoMars' First High-Res Photos Are Incredible
Lookin' Good, Mars! ExoMars' First High-Res Photos Are Incredible
By Hanneke Weitering, Staff Writer-Producer
Behold! The European Space Agency's new Mars orbiter just sent back its first high-resolution images of the Red Planet, and the view is amazing.
The ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) arrived at Mars on Oct. 19, when its companion spacecraft Schiaparelli crash-landed on the planet's surface. Since then, TGO has been circling Mars, testing out its machinery, and taking spectacularly sharp pictures of the landscape using its Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System (CaSSIS). ESA stitched together the best of these photos in a cool new flyover video.
"The first images we received are absolutely spectacular ― and it was only meant to be a test," Nicolas Thomas, CaSSIS team leader at the University of Bern's Center of Space and Habitability, said in a statement. [Photos: Europe's ExoMars Missions to Mars in Pictures]

These first images allowed ESA to test the camera's color- and stereo-imaging capabilities, which would allow CaSSIS to build 3D maps of the Martian surface using measurements with sound waves.
Though the color-imaging equipment was functioning as planned, the first photos appear black and white. That's because the areas photographed are dusty ― volcanic without much color to be seen. "We will have to wait a little until something colorful passes under the spacecraft," Thomas said.

The image gives an altitude map of the region with a resolution of less than 65 feet (20 meters).

TGO is currently orbiting Mars once every four days in a highly elliptical path. At its closest, the spacecraft flies within 155 miles (250 kilometers) of the ground. These close approaches are happening quickly before the orbiter raises its altitude to about 62,000 miles (100,000 km).
CaSSIS was up and running for two of these approaches during its testing phase and returned a total of 11 images. ESA then combined some of the new photos in the video above to simulate a flyover of Hebes Chasma, a 190-mile-long (310 km) canyon in the Martian surface.
"We saw Hebes Chasma at 2.8 meters per pixel," said Thomas. "That’s a bit like flying over Bern at 15,000 kilometers [9,300 miles] per hour and simultaneously getting sharp pictures of cars in Zürich."
A structure called Arsia Chasmata on the flanks of one of the large Martian volcanoes, Arsia Mons. This view was created by the Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System (CaSSIS) aboard the European Space Agency's ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter. The width of the image is around 16 miles (25 kilometers). The formation is volcanic in origin, and pit craters are visible.

After the botched landing of the Schiaparelli spacecraft in October, pressures have been high for the ExoMars team. "A lot of public attention has been on the failed landing of Schiaparelli, but TGO has been working really well, so we have been extremely busy in the past month," Thomas said.
"We were quite nervous but it looks as though almost everything functioned as we planned it. The resulting images are really sharp," Antoine Pommerol, a CaSSIS co-investigator at the Center of Space and Habitability in Bern, said in the same statement.
For the next few months, the team will continue to prepare CaSSIS for its prime mission. "The test was very successful but we have identified a couple of things that need to be improved in the onboard software and in the ground post-processing," Thomas said.
TGO will spend nine to 12 months "aerobraking," or slowing down to round out its elliptical orbit. Eventually, the orbiter will circle the planet at a constant altitude of about 250 miles (400 km). Its primary science mission is scheduled to begin by the end of 2017. Then TGO will begin studying gases in the Martian atmosphere.
For a generation, the Hubble Space Telescope has been exposing the universe's deepest, darkest secrets. From imaging the volcanoes of Jupiter's moon Io, to watching the dramatic breakup of comets, imaging baby galaxies, and helping to nail down the universe's age, its data has been instrumental in today's understanding of the cosmos near and far.
But it's an old telescope, unmaintained since the last space shuttle mission visited in 2009. While the observatory is in excellent health today, it's expected to stop collecting data sometime in the 2020s. What will we lose when the telescope finally dies?
NASA is quick to point out that the James Webb Space Telescope, expected to launch in 2018, will enhance Hubble's capabilities in many ways. But for the telescope's higher resolution and ability to peer back to the very early days of the universe, there is one key thing it doesn't have: ultraviolet capabilities. (It also will lack some of Hubble's fine spectral resolution, and ability to observe a special spectral line called H-alpha that is useful for nebulae and stars.)
Astronomers are being urged to submit as many UV proposals to Hubble as possible because once it dies, there are no immediate plans to launch a successor. (Astronomers could then pull from the archive as needed in future decades.) Earth's atmosphere filters out UV, which is great for protecting life, but bad for UV astronomy, so it needs to be done from space. Astronomers say they don't think another UV telescope will fly until the 2030s, at the earliest.
"For example, one of the big topics that we're going to look at in star and planet formation is the accretion of gas on to young, newly forming stars or planets," said Adam Kraus, an astronomer at the University of Texas at Austin. He explained that as gas falls on to budding stars and planets, they radiate most of their energy in the blue and ultraviolet wavelengths. Webb won't be able to see this as Hubble does, he told Seeker.
The James Webb Space Telescope (pictured here during a mirror inspection) will enhance Hubble's observations in many areas, but it lacks in ultraviolet capabilities.

NASA's Jane Rigby, the deputy project scientist for Webb's operations, points out that the new telescope is designed to do science that Hubble can't. Webb has seven times more collecting area and also works at near absolute zero (the coldest temperature possible). Hubble works at room temperature, so it can't see as well in the infrared. Webb will see into dusty places where stars are forming, or galaxies that have been deeply "redshifted" (with spectral lines moving towards the red end of the spectrum) due to cosmic expansion.
Luckily for astronomers, it's expected that Hubble's and Webb's time in space will overlap. Hubble has a rich archive of observations that Webb could spend time looking at, including the famous "deep fields" of young galaxies. This type of work will be Webb's "bread and butter", Rigby said.
There's also the potential to make stereoscopic or "3D" images of several objects, since Hubble (in low Earth orbit) will be a million miles away from Webb, further out in space. At the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), which manages Hubble observations, some astronomers suggest images could be taken of nearby objects.
"You could see Saturn's rings sticking out of the page, Mars looking like a globe, or Jupiter and its moons moving," Joel Green, a project scientist at STScI, told Seeker. "There's a few scientific reasons, too. You might want to look at how cloud structures change in 3D, or how an impact happens in 3D."
Another possibility, he added, would be looking at a star explosion (or supernova) and from the distance between the telescopes, finding out where the explosion is coming from and examining certain features of the explosion.
Hubble's ultraviolet capabilities are not replicated in any telescope now, or in the near future. Here, possible water plumes on Europa (disclosed earlier this year) are imaged using Hubble's ultraviolet filters.

Other observatories are planned after Webb. One is the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST), which would use Hubble-class hardware that has a wider field of view. Its specialty would be dark energy and exoplanets. Another is the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), which would look at planets passing in front of the brightest stars in our sky. These likely would get going in the 2020s, if funding for the missions is fully approved.
But the next generation is still being worked out. NASA draws heavily from the National Science Foundation's Decadal Survey when planning its missions. Right now, proposals are being formulated to present to members of the next decadal survey, which will be released in 2020.
This will be the battleground for where UV astronomy is determined for the near future. NASA is planning to do up to four mission concept studies to present for the 2020 Decadal Survey, including a mission called the Large Ultraviolet/Optical/Infrared Surveyor (LUVOIR). As the name implies, it's supposed to be capable of observing in several wavelengths.
If it flies, it would examine protoplanetary disks, look for and image black holes, map the Milky Way and even look at nearby exoplanet atmospheres for signs of habitability. But it is competing against several other mission concepts, including one focused on infrared (Far-IR Surveyor), one for X-rays (X-ray surveyor) and a more modest UV and optical observer called HabEx. HabEx may use a special, separate shield to filter out a star's light for direct planet observations, which would be a first in astronomy.

"We're very hopeful that the national community in 2020 will fund one of these things and go forward," said Karl Stapelfeldt, the chief scientist of NASA's exoplanet science program. The aim is not only to be able to look at Earth-like planets around nearby stars, he said, but to study the rest of the universe as well.
There are other UV telescopes being proposed, such as Advanced Technology Large Aperture Space Telescope or ATLAST (which was considered in the last decadal survey) and the High Definition Space Telescope (HDST). This makes for a dizzying array of options and ideas for anybody trying to think ahead for the next generation of space telescopes.
While this is all being discussed, however, Webb is getting ready for launch. NASA's Rigby said she is greatly looking forward to the science that the telescope will provide.
"When you look the way Webb is designed, it is building on the legacy of Hubble," she said. "It's very much being built to do the things Hubble can't, because the things Hubble can do it's done so exquisitely... it's optimized in a totally different direction from Hubble, because Hubble has given us a legacy over 25 years within the range of its capabilities."
Video – Native American Prophecies, UFO’s And The Coming Of A Messiah - PART I
Video – Native American Prophecies, UFO’s And The Coming Of A Messiah - PART I
The following article was inspired by a dialogue between three groups of people:
1) researchers into the UFO and crop circle activity, which has drawn increasing attention in recent years,
2) Native Americans, whose prophecies point to the current times as being a critical turning point for humanity, and
3) A growing body of people whose spiritual teachings predict the return of a Great Teacher/Messiah/Buddha/Elder Brother at this time.
Here we attempt to correlate their ideas, postulating that there may be a unifying theme between them, and that many of the ‘unexplainable’ phenomena that are now happening daily in our world — spontaneous healings, weeping and bleeding statues, miracle waters, milk drinking statues, visionary experiences, and extraterrestrial activity — are signs that humankind is on the verge of a tremendous evolutionary advance — one that will be aided by the ‘angels’ and ‘guardians’ who some claim are always with us, protecting our earth and guiding our every step.
Native Prophets of the Americas
Until recent years it has been a controversial step for native leaders to publish their prophecies, but many are now coming forward because the prophecies themselves contain a directive to go out and warn the world when certain signs appear. Signs such as the ‘rain of fire’ and ‘gourd of ashes’ (atomic warfare) and the ‘shaking of the earth’ (earthquakes) are seen as indications that it is time.
There are parallel themes in many of the prophecies:
1) We are entering a time of purification and can expect to witness chaos and destruction in all the kingdoms of nature.
2) It is a time for the reuniting of the races. Barriers of religion and nationality will begin to fall as all people realize their essential unity.
3) We must heal the damage done to Mother Earth, the source of life, and recognize that all living things are endowed with spirit.
4) In the coming times we will see the return of one or more Great Teachers who will guide us into the future.
Quetzalcoatl’s Promise
Through the legends of the native peoples of North and South America, there runs a recurring thread — the tale of a Great White Teacher who came in ancient times to free the people from slavery, war, and human sacrifice. He showed them instead, a way of peace, dignity and brotherhood. He brought prosperity to the poor tribes by introducing agricultural methods and ways of self sufficiency. He renovated their patterns of worship, and taught them a special reverence for Venus, the Morning Star, the object of His daily meditations.
From Alaska to the tip of South America His story can be found. His names were many: Tah-co-pah, the Healer; Ee-me-shee, the Wind God; Chee-zoos, God of the dawn light. Today He is best remembered as Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent, or Kukulcan. His image graces the resurrected pyramids and temples throughout these lands. The Prophet was bearded, with long hair, and wore white flowing robes. Wherever He went, He trained 12 disciples to carry on His work after His departure.
Before He departed He gave a prophecy — that the cultures He had inspired would eventually fall to the tragedy of greed and war. The temples would be burned, the populations decimated. He warned His people to protect their sacred writings, and promised that He would Himself return to restore order and balance and to open again the pages of the ancient wisdom books. When He left, He traveled East, and it is from the East He promised to return.
Black Elk and Crazy Horse
Black Elk and Crazy Horse were leaders of the Lakota Sioux in the late 1800s when the US was decimating its native populations. Each had a vision of the future.
Black Elk saw that his people, after long years of destitution and death, would loose heart and the sacred hoop of his nation would be broken. But after seven generations he saw a vision of the nation being reunited and becoming part of the greater hoop of all the nations of the earth. At that time a great Prophet from the east would bring a message of hope to all people.
Crazy Horse’s vision also foretold the darkness that would descend on his people. He saw the coming of automobiles and airplanes and the tragic world wars of the modern era. But after the last war, he saw his people gradually awaken and begin to dance again, this time along with people of all colors, under the Sacred Tree of Life.
The Hopi’s — Waiting for Pahana
In 1948, Thomas Banyacya accepted the task of warning the world of the events foretold in the Hopi prophecies. The Hopi’s, he says, had been instructed to seek a “house of mica” (glass) that would stand on the eastern shore of Turtle Island (the US). The Hopi’s saw the UN building in New York as the house of mica. Beginning in 1949, they sought entry to its assembly to: 1) look for their True White Brother, 2) seek justice for Indian brothers and sisters and good people everywhere, and 3) warn leaders of the coming purification. In 1992 and again in 1993 they were able to deliver their prophecies.
Hopi legend speaks of the Pahana, or the True White Brother, who once lived with the people and would return in the time of Koyaanisquatsi, when the world was beset by fearful troubles and chaos. Then He would unite the broken tribes and reestablish balance and harmony.
Mayan Prophecy
Don Alejandro Oxlaj, a priest and seventh generation medicine man from Guatemala, calls the times we live in as “crucial for our future survival,” and hopes to alert the world to the momentous changes that he says are now occurring. As head of the Quiche Maya Elder Council, representing 21 Mayan regions, he is a wisdom keeper of the Mayan calendar and prophecies. He has received permission from the Council to publish, for the first time in 500 years, the Mayan prophecies.
Hunbatz Men is a Mayan daykeeper, an expert on theological and calendrical systems of the ancient Mayan civilization. He has published sacred teachings that were hidden at the time of the Spanish conquest. He speaks of Kukulcan and Quetzacoatl, not so much in light of an expected return, but rather in terms of the possibility in the coming times for each of us to attain His same exalted stage by treading the path of attaining knowledge.
White Buffalo Calf Woman of the Lakota
The Lakota Sioux tell of their Messiah, the White Buffalo Calf Woman, who came to the people in a time of great need. She brought the Sacred Pipe and established the foundation of their ritual and social life. When she left, she turned into a white buffalo, and promised to someday return. In 1992 a white buffalo calf, named Miracle, was born in Janestown, Wisconsin. This was considered a sign that the promise was fulfilled.
David Gehue, Canadian Mi’kmaq, says we are in the final stages of transition when “The Great Spirit takes the earth in both hands and shakes it violently.” He speaks of a mysterious person in olden times who “came from the rising sun and went to the setting sun.” He warned them of the coming of seven evil cycles when the great white monster “would disperse the people to lives of misery and destitution.” The mysterious brother said he would come back from the rising sun with a new spirit and power that would destroy the white monster. At that time the wisdom of the Elders would again be heeded and life restored to balance.
Jake Swamp of the Mohawk nation tells of the Peacemaker, Deganawida, who unified the tribes of the Iroquois Confederacy (an eastern group whose system of laws inspired the Constitution of the US.) The Peacemaker foresaw the events that would destroy the lives and culture of the Confederacy tribes, but predicted that in time there would be born many children who would heal the ancient wounds, and also a great Prophet, a World Uniter, who would renew the spirit of man in a way more worldwide and all-embracing than ever before in history.
Peruvian Prophecy High in the Peruvian Andes, at 17,000 feet, live a people known as the Q’ero, who fled to higher ground 500 years ago, at the coming of the conquest. Their prophecies have predicted that it is now time for the great mastay, the gathering of the peoples, and for the return of Pachacuti, the builder of Machu Picchu and the founder of the Inca Confederacy, whom they regard as their Messiah. His return to the world in the present era will be on a collective level.
UFOs
The following is a statement by Willaru Huayta, Peruvian Incan spiritual teacher, describing his thoughts about UFOs:
“The extraterrestrials are of the White Brotherhood from other planets….In South America there are still physical traces that give testimony to a time when we worked closely with our older brothers from other planets. In antiquity our ancestors — the Mayans, Aztecs, and Incas — received visits from other worlds.
“The return of these ships at this time needs to be understood. We are on the eve of a great cosmic transition. They are here to assist us through this transition period. As the pace quickens during the next few years they will be making themselves known more and more through direct contact with individuals, both physically and non-physically. It is their mission to guide us safely through this transition by awakening our consciousness.”
The Hopi also claim a long standing relationship with the UFO extraterrestrials. Chief Dan Katchongva (now deceased) said of the UFOs: “We believe other planets are inhabited and that our prayers are heard there.” He connects their presence with the present purification their prophecies have described and with the return of the True White Brother.

UFO researcher Paul Solem, who worked with Katchongva, describes their occupants in this way:
“There is no reason to fear these people. They are like the angels. They come from the planet Venus and they are here only to lend credence to prophecy, not to harm anyone.”
He says the saucer people look just like humans, but seem to be of an almost divine quality. They keep their hair cut neatly to the shoulders. Because of their fine qualities and the almost musical tone of their voices, it is difficult to tell male from female.
THE COMING OF MAITREYA
Since 1975 Benjamin Creme has traveled the world with a unique and singular message — that we are living in an era which will see the return to our everyday lives of highly evolved spiritual teachers. For the next 2,000 years, during the whole age of Aquarius, they will work and live among us, helping us find solutions to our world problems.
He claims this information came to him when he was approached, in 1959, by a spiritual personage whom he calls a Master of Wisdom, one of a group of over 60 Masters who oversee the evolution of our earth. The Master told him that the leader and teacher of this group, whose name is Maitreya, will, in the coming years, begin His mission as World Teacher for the Aquarian Age. He said that Maitreya is the fulfillment of the prophecies of all religions that predict the return of a Teacher in our day, and that not only Maitreya, but about 40 members of His hierarchical group will return along with Him in physical incarnation.
Maitreya’s concern in our modern world is that humanity learn the art of sharing. The present economic disparities that exist between the nations contain, He says, the seeds of a third World War. We must take the steps towards ensuring an adequate livestyle for all of earth’s inhabitants or face the awesome possibility of complete annihilation. If we do successfully make these changes (and He believes that we will), He promises that awaiting us in the future times is an age in which we will begin to express more fully the aspects of Love, Brotherhood, and world unity.
Creme claims that Maitreya has been living in the immigrant section of London since l977, and is quietly spreading His energies into the world until the time when He begins His public mission.
The following ideas are Creme’s commentary on some of the little understood occurrences in our world. Because he is in constant contact with a Master his comments may give us a view of these events from a spiritual perspective.They are offered, not in a dogmatic sense, but simply as possibilities, suggestions for thought, and left to the discrimination of the reader as to their merit and rationality.
The Christ of the Americas
Concerning the White God who worked among the cultural groups of the Western Hemisphere, Creme suggests that He was an incarnation of the Master Jesus, in a mission which took place in the 7th and 8th centuries AD. Maitreya’s connection with Jesus is that He is the entity who overshadowed the disciple Jesus from the baptism to the crucifixion. After His death in Palestine, Jesus was reincarnated as Apollonius of Tyana and, in His next incarnation, as the ‘Christ of the Americas’. He profoundly influenced the cultures of two continents.
UFOs — From Where Do They Come?
Creme says that all the UFO’s are from our own solar system, mainly from Venus and Mars, and “number in the thousands and even millions.” Every planet in our system is inhabited and each has a Spiritual Hierarchy, but because the inhabitants exist in etheric matter, they are invisible to human eyes. We have a very close affiliation with Venus because in our early evolution it was responsible for the implanting of the quality of mind or manas in humanity.
The spacecrafts also exist in etheric matter, and are normally invisible. We are able to see them because the pilots can lower the vibrational level of the ship. Creme calls them Space Brothers and claims they look similar to us because they belong to the human branch of evolution, which exists on all of the planets.
One beneficent service they perform is to counteract the effects of radiation released by our testing, chemical spills, and careless use of radioactive substances. They have ‘implosion’ devices which neutralize the effects, and without their help we would be in a very sad state.
Their activities in relation to earth are part of a preparation for the coming age, which is crucial for our evolution. What happens here affects not only our own planetary existence but that of the other planetary bodies in our system as well.
The physical manufacturing of the ships is a combined effort of the inhabitants of Venus and Mars, who, “have visited this planet for countless millennia and are very closely concerned with the externalization of our Spiritual Hierarchy into the world.” As Venus is the more highly advanced of the two, it offers the design. Mars, as the great ‘factory’ planet, actually manufactures them. They are made by a combination of thought and very high technology, far beyond anything we know about today.
Crop Circles
Creme says the crop circles are all created by UFOs and are closely connected with the work of the Hierarchy. The specific purpose of the circles is to recreate the ‘grid’ of the earth’s magnetic field on the physical plane. Each circle is a chakra, or vortex of magnetic energy. They are all ideograms and echo symbology used in the time of Atlantis. They “will become ‘batteries of energy’ for humanity in connection with a new energy source, part of the science of light which lies just ahead for humanity.” Most of them have been created in England to call attention of the world to the country where Maitreya has begun His mission, but they can be found all over the world. Miracles and Wonders
Mr. Creme says that allied to the crop circle activity are the various miraculous and visionary phenomena which are occurring worldwide. He claims that all are produced by the Masters, that “they are signs that we have come to the end of one era and the beginning of a new one, and that the Christ has returned to the world to inaugurate this new cycle. These signs are given to uphold people’s faith and hope in the future and in a spiritual basis to life, to keep them aware that we are in a world which is constantly changing, and that the days of miracles are not over. The miracles of the Bible, for example, and also of earlier times, are being repeated now daily, almost hourly, across the world. These events add up to very definite evidence to humanity that the time is nigh for the appearance of Maitreya, the Christ, openly in the world.”

UFO convention lands in Florida
UFO convention lands in Florida
Channel 4's Scott Johnson learns about close encounters, local sightings
By Jodi Mohrmann - Managing Editor of special projects
ORLANDO, Fla. - Experts on unidentified flying objects from all over the world picked Orlando recently, to come together and discuss the things we see in the sky and where they may come from. So Channel 4's Scott Johnson took the trek into the unknown, to hear stories and find out more about everything from close encounters to UFO sightings in our area.
The annual event is with the Mutual UFO Network, or MUFON for short. Morgan Beall, state director of Florida for MUFON, describes the network as the world's oldest and largest UFO phenomenon investigative body -- bringing in people and speakers from around the globe.
"We're still learning the physicality of the phenomenon, you know. What it is, what it does, its characteristics. The witnesses actually have, you know, very extraordinary claims," Beall told Scott.
A few hundred show up to the Hilton just outside of Walt Disney World for something the group doesn't feel belongs in Fantasyland.
"We try and stick to serious researchers, scientists," said Beall. "People with heavy backgrounds. People who have really taken this phenomenon serious."
Scott doesn't know what to expect when he gets there, and at the beginning of the event, he tries to relate as best he can.
"Nanu, Nanu," said Scott to the crowd.
Well, he tries.
"Have you ever been to a 'Star Trek' convention?" Scott asked Robert Powell, MUFON's director of research.
"No, but I am a 'Star Trek' fan," he answered with a smile.
"So, do you like the new 'Star Wars'?" Scott asked Cheryl Costa, a writer from New York who tracks UFOs.
"I loved the new 'Star Wars'! I saw it last night at Disney Springs," she told Scott.
"So, could ET feasibly have phoned home?" Scott asked Morgan Beall.
"What? No," he responded.
'So, you a Kirk man or a Picard man?" Scott asked Rich Hoffman, who describes himself as an IT strategic planner for the Army.
"Oh, I like Kirk. I go back quite a ways," Hoffman answered.
"Area 51, what is it?" Scott asked.
"I've always felt Area 51 was nothing more than an Air Force ground. Has nothing to do with aliens," Hoffman told Scott.
It takes a little bit, but Scott moves beyond the sci-fi chats into what MUFON studies -- things like tracking the number of UFO sightings globally.
While Cheryl Costa is a writer and UFO tracker now, she says she spent 32 years in the aerospace field.
"(In) 2012, someone published an article that said that UFOs have been on the decline since the 80s, and maybe they were all an urban legend. And that didn't sound right," said Costa. There's a standard formula for breaking these things down, maybe only about 20 percent are what they call the exotic stuff."
'That would be something from other worlds?" Scott asked.
"Perhaps, other worlds or other dimensions," Costa answered. "We're not sure where they come from."
Since Costa tracks UFO sightings, Scott asked her for sightings in our area. According to Costa's research, in the past 15 years in Florida, there have been 7,787 UFO sightings across the state. Locally, Duval County had 258, St. Johns County had 111 and Clay County had 48.
Scott said one of the things that lamented at the conference was the difficulty in getting the news media to cover it. MUFON said it has had some success with local media in the past, but with the national media, it can't get coverage.
From what Scott can tell, he and his photographer, Travis Anthony, are the only media at this Orlando event. So, at a briefing for the news media -- with a dozen or so experts gathered for a panel -- Scott is the only one there to really ask questions.
He speaks with many of them, including Rich Hoffman. He told Scott there are a lot of unexplained UFO sightings that he's personally investigated for almost half a century, but add most are explainable.
"You'll get reports from planets, Jupiter. Depending on time of evening, you get satellites. Not as much now. The International Space Station when it goes across, is a very fast moving satellite," explained Hoffman.
But Hoffman told Scott something others at the conference also said to Scott: They struggle to get the scientific community to take them seriously. In fact, they often hear from UFO believers, but in hushed tones or in hallways after meetings, when no one is around to listen.
"No one wants to go on the record," said Hoffman. "There's a lot of social pressure. I just got a case today from an individual who said, 'Look, I saw something. I'm 78 years old, I told my wife, they think I'm a nut.'"
Kathleen Marden is also at the MUFON convention. She wrote the book "Captured." She told Scott it's the story of her aunt and uncle's close encounter, when a UFO hovered above their car.
"Betty and Barney had gone on brief vacation to Niagara Falls in Montreal, Canada, in 1961," she explained. "He and Betty heard a series of buzzing sounds that seemed to be striking the trunk of the vehicle, caused the vehicle to vibrate and a tingling through their bodies. The next thing they knew, they were 35 miles south of previous location and had very little memory of what happened in the interim."
These are the kinds of tales that make skeptic scoff.
"Rarely is it taken serious," Beall said.
But they said we need to keep an eye on what's going on in the sky.
"Whether the government keeps an eye on UFOs, I think they have to by definition. Any object that shows up on radar is unidentified, so they have to," said Powell.
While Scott leaves the convention wondering what's really out there, he gets one final laugh and smile.
"Well, thank you, Rich. I hope you live long and prosper," said Scott.
It's been years since MUFON has met in Florida, and they likely won't be back for a while. Organizers move this event to different locations every year.

Word of photographer's image of suspected UFO reaches president's desk
Word of photographer's image of suspected UFO reaches president's desk
Joseph Perry is shown in this Flint Journal file photo with his telescope that he claimed captured photos of a UFO. Perry is featured in the "The Vault," which is the FBI's library of documents that have been released under Freedom of
This story is part of an occasional series looking at the Flint-area's involvement in prominent federal investigations, which are highlighted in the Federal Bureau of Investigation's online "Vault."
GRAND BLANC, MI- Something possibly in the Flint-area's nighttime skies caught the interest of federal authorities in 1960.
A Grand Blanc pizzeria owner claimed to photograph a flying saucer in 1960, and shared his discovery with federal officials.
The incident was documented in a trove of information made public in the Federal Bureau of Investigation's online "Vault." The Vault is the FBI's library of documents that have been released through Freedom of Information Act requests and detail some of the most-prominent figures and controversial investigations in the bureau's history.
Documents included in the release identified Joseph Perry as the owner Perry's Pizza Grill in Grand Blanc. Perry, then 44, was an amateur photographer who liked to take pictures of the moon through his big homemade telescope, according to the documents.
About 1 a.m. early one February day, Perry said he made a color photo where an unidentified flying object can be seen against the moon, according to a story in The Flint Journal that was published March 27, 1960.
Perry contacted the Detroit office of the FBI about the suspected UFO captured in the photograph, according to a letter from then-FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover to the Office of Special Investigations with the Air Force.
"He said that when blown up, this object is flat on the bottom, is oval shaped, and appears to have a fluorescent glow around the entire object, and that it is apparently moving as it has a vapor trail running behind it," the internal FBI memo said.
Perry said he took the photo using a 35 mm Retna German camera with Super Ansco Color film and took the pictures through his homemade telescope that was set at between 350-400 power, the FBI memo said.
After a story about Perry's UFO photograph was published by the Detroit Times, the Grand Blanc pizza-maker wrote President Dwight Eisenhower.
"Quoting from a letter of March 14 from Major Donald E. Kehoe, 'From past experience with photographic evidence, we consider it unlikely that you will ever see your picture again,'" Perry wrote to the president on March 21, 1960. "I would like the assurance that this colored transparency will be returned to me within a short time, as it would be financially profitable in the pursuit of my hobby, (cameras and equipment)."
Perry told the FBI he received more than 50 letters and phone calls asking to see the photo.
Ultimately, federal authorities returned the picture.
The Air Force gave Perry a letter when it returned the photo "explaining that what appears to be a flying object in this slide is actually a part of the negative which was not properly developed," according to an FBI memo.
The cache of information included letters and documents from to people from Seattle, Wash., to New Iberia, Louisiana.
There are hundreds of pages detailing alleged UFO sightings throughout the country, asking about the existence of and other info about flying saucers included in the FBI documents.

Florida fireball sparked fears and misleading claims about alien invasion
Florida fireball sparked fears and misleading claims about alien invasion
The Florida fireball is not an exploding alien spacecraft. It is a rock from somewhere in the Universe.
As internet giants Facebook and Google begin their repression of fake news, the search giant’s news section itself has been showing false articles, or reports with misleading titles, about the fireball that flared up in the air above the state of Florida, United States.
A couple or more websites are reporting that the meteor that exploded above the Southeast United States is a sign of an alien invasion, citing earlier reports of seen UFOs around the world. Some even added that the rock has shown unusual movements, thus confirming their theory that “the government is hiding the truth about aliens.”
No. the Florida fireball is not an alien spacecraft, nor a visiting UFO from an advanced alien civilization somewhere.
A fireball is a large bright meteor, and it lit up as it entered the Earth, a planet which has a thick atmosphere.
In case you missed some of your Elementary science classes, here’s a concise explanation from the Astronomical League: rocks from space glow or light up when hitting the Earth because of tremendous friction that causes the rock or rocks to produce light and to ultimately disintegrate before reaching the Earth’s ground.
Apparently, some rocks are large enough to survive the friction with the atmosphere, and these bodies could be destructive. Some smaller bodies are also dangerous even after melting in the air because they can create a sonic boom, or a shock wave. For instance, the Chelyabinsk meteor that exploded over Southwest Russia.
According to the American Meteor Society, or AMS, a group which monitors such events, the Florida fireball event on November 21st, 2016 around 11:15pm, generated over 150 calls with concentration of reports from Tampa. Its initial finding suggests that the meteor travelled from Southeast to the Northwest before disintegrating on the sea East of Anna Maria Island.
The fireball was so bright that people in Northern Florida, even as far as Georgia and Alabama, also reported the event.
Videos showing the Florida fireball also surfaced online and was compiled by the AMS. See it below this article. The video montage as of this writing attracted over sixteen thousand views.
Some witnesses also shared their stories on the AMS website.
A commenter named Anne said:
“We were driving south on 75 at that time, between Sumterville & Wildwood on the way to Tampa. All of a sudden not more than 20 feet in front of me, I saw a bright light. (At first) I thought of fireworks, then saw the center which was as large as a watermelon & the glowing gas around it. I came to a dead halt, thought it was going to hit us. It landed on the side of the road near a light pole. (Have) no time to get the phone camera on. It was the most spectacular thing I have everseen.”
Another witness, she said her name is Deborah, added that the fireball was “unbelievably beautiful.”
“Driving on Interstate 75 headed south it was five miles before the Sun City Ruskin exit sign. Both myself and brother saw it. This was just awesome looked like you could just reach out and catch it. It was that close,” she said.
Featured image is a screen-grab of the video showing the fireball in Florida on November 21st.

UFO or real aliens? Chinese astronaut says he heard mysterious knocks in space
UFO or real aliens? Chinese astronaut says he heard mysterious knocks in space
Picture for representationReuters
Strange sounds during space flight experienced by Chinese astronauts have come up as interesting sidebars to mushrooming rumours about alien life and UFOs. Yang Liwei, China's first astronaut, revealed in a recent interview that he heard a mysterious knock - like a wooden hammer hitting an iron bucket, during his flight in space in 2003.
The Astronaut said he was baffled by the sound which appeared suddenly without any reason, reported Xinhua news agency, citing China Central Television. "A non-causal situation I have met in space is a knock that appeared from time to time," said Yang.
He further said that "It neither came from outside nor inside the spaceship, but sounded like someone is knocking the body of the spaceship just as knocking an iron bucket with a wooden hammer."
It was also reported that the astronaut, who is a major general now, mustered the courage and went to inspect the porthole. However, he did not find anything that could have possibly made the sound.
What is more shocking is that it is not only Yang who heard the sound. Spaceflight mission Shenzhou 6 and Shenzhou 7 astronauts have also heard the sound but even they failed to come up with any possible explanation.
"Before entering space, I have told them that the sound is a normal phenomenon, so there is no need to worry," said the astronaut.
Yang did not give up hope of finding the source of the noise and asked around technicians about the mysterious sound once he returned to earth. He even tried to explain the sound with instruments, however, he said that he neither could recreate the sound nor heard the exact sound again.
Yang Liwe,i who was born in Liaoning province's Suizhong County in 1965, became the first person sent into space by the Chinese space program in 2003.

‘Zoete aroma’s’ en ‘uitvallende apparaten’: Mysteries rond opening graftombe Jezus
‘Zoete aroma’s’ en ‘uitvallende apparaten’: Mysteries rond opening graftombe Jezus
Voor het eerst in eeuwen wordt de mysterieuze graftombe blootgelegd waar volgens de overlevering Jezus Christus begraven werd.
Lang werd gedacht dat er niets meer van over was, maar bij de restauratie van de kerk die er bovenop is gebouwd in het oude, ommuurde deel van Jeruzalem, is het tegendeel ontdekt.
Het Heilige Graf, zoals de tombe wordt genoemd, is al sinds 1555 niet meer geopend. Archeologen zeiden dat het een lange wetenschappelijke analyse zal worden.
‘Zoete aroma’
Werklieden die betrokken zijn bij het restaureren van de kerk, hebben melding gemaakt van buitengewone fenomenen rond de tombe waarin Jezus gelegen zou hebben.
Toen ze de tombe naderden roken ze naar eigen zeggen een ‘zoete aroma’ – een soorten bloemengeur die vaker wordt gemeld bij vermeende verschijningen van heiligen of Maria, meldt Catholic Culture.
Elektrische apparaten
De werklieden zeiden ook dat sommige elektrische apparaten, waaronder meetinstrumenten, in de buurt van de tombe uitvielen of zelfs de geest gaven, wat erop wijst dat ze werden beïnvloed door elektromagnetisme.
Dit fenomeen werd bevestigd door één van de wetenschappers die toegang heeft gekregen tot de tombe, schrijft nieuwssite Aleteia.
De tombe wordt door Griekse specialisten van de technische universiteit in Athene opgeknapt. De operatie gaat zo’n 4 miljoen euro kosten.
Geen archeologisch bewijs
In totaal buigen 50 experts zich over de graftombe. Ze werken voornamelijk ’s nachts om pelgrims overdag gelegenheid te geven het Heilige Graf te bezoeken.
Archeoloog Robert Cargill merkte op dat er nog steeds geen archeologisch bewijs is dat Jezus werd gekruisigd of dat hij onder de Heilige Grafkerk werd gelegd.
Toch is de plek al 1600 jaar lang de meest heilige plaats in het christendom, zei hij.
Potentially Habitable Planet's Shadow Spotted from Earth
Potentially Habitable Planet's Shadow Spotted from Earth
By Sarah Lewin, Staff Writer
Researchers from the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, the University of Tokyo and Japan's AstroBiology Center used the Okayama 188-cm telescope in Japan to observe the planet K2-3d, located 150 light-years away, as it passed in front of its star. The measurement marks the first time the potentially habitable planet was measured from Earth.

A potentially Earth-like planet circles a bright star 150 light-years away, casting a shadow tracked from space — and now from Earth, too.
The planet, called K2-3d, was originally seen crossing in front of its star by NASA's Kepler space telescope during that instrument's ongoing K2 mission. Researchers brought the Okayama Astrophysical Observatory's 188-centimeter (6 feet) telescope to bear on the speck to fine-tune their understanding of the exoplanet's orbit down to a precision of 18 seconds, according to new research.
Using this first-ever Earth-based measurement of the planet, the researchers predicted when the planet will cross its star in 2018, when the newly complete James Webb Space Telescope should be able to watch carefully and analyze the planet's atmosphere for potential signs of life or habitability. [10 Exoplanets That Could Host Alien Life]
K2-3d is about 1.5 times the size of Earth and orbits a star half the size of the sun every 45 days. The exoplanet circles closer to its star than Earth does around the sun — one-fifth the Earth-sun distance — but because this is a cooler star, the planet should rest at an Earth-like temperature that could host liquid water, National Astronomical Observatory of Japan researchers said in a statement. That space around a given star is known as the habitable zonebecause it has the potential to support life similar to that found on Earth.
Kepler discovered the planet based on the star's slight dimming as the planet passed in front, from the telescope's perspective — a process of discovery called the transit method. Because Kepler's K2 mission examines patches of the sky for only around 80 days each, researchers could observe K2-3d crossing the star just twice. But the planet is closer to Earth and has a brighter host star than most of the other potentially habitable planets discovered by Kepler, researchers said in the statement, so K2-3d was worth a second glance. NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope observed two more transits, further increasing what researchers knew about the planet's orbit.
K2-3d's star is much brighter than those of other transiting planets in the habitable zone spotted by Kepler, making this planet a good candidate for further examination. Along with Kepler planets and planet candidates, represented by the black and white circles, the chart shows two Earth-size planets located 40 light-years away and observed by a ground-based telescope.
Credit: NAOJ
Despite its closeness to Earth, K2-3d is small enough that the dip in brightness of its star is still extremely faint, only a 0.07 percent change. That's near the limit of what ground-based telescopes can detect, the researchers said, but Okayama's MuSCAT instrument could collect light from three different wavelengths and so could detect that flicker, thus clarifying the orbit to within just 18 seconds.
Each transit presents a chance to learn more about K2-3d, and this new work allows researchers to forecast when those transits will occur. Upcoming large-scale telescopes like the James Webb Telescope will be able to analyze the starlight shining through the planet's atmosphere during a transit. They will thus be able to detect molecules like oxygen that can indicate the potential existence of life.
