Dit is ons nieuw hondje Kira, een kruising van een waterhond en een Podenko. Ze is sinds 7 februari 2024 bij ons en druk bezig ons hart te veroveren. Het is een lief, aanhankelijk hondje, dat zich op een week snel aan ons heeft aangepast. Ze is heel vinnig en nieuwsgierig, een heel ander hondje dan Noleke.

This is our new dog Kira, a cross between a water dog and a Podenko. She has been with us since February 7, 2024 and is busy winning our hearts. She is a sweet, affectionate dog who quickly adapted to us within a week. She is very quick and curious, a very different dog than Noleke.

    Connecticut witness describes triangle UFO under 500 feet

    A Connecticut witness at New Milford reported watching a silent, triangle-shaped UFO that moved close at an altitude under 500 feet and then made a 90-degree turn and moved away, according to testimony in Case 80488 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

    The witness was driving home on a clear night at 8:45 p.m. on November 17, 2016, when the incident began.

    “Approached a stop sign in rural area and noted a brightly lit craft flying very slowly directly towards me at low altitude,” the witness stated.“The white spotlights were very bright and spaced widely apart, making a helicopter unlikely, so I stopped at the intersection to observe what seemed like a strange phenomenon.”

    The object reached the witness in about three minutes, traveling less than a mile.

    “As it got closer I saw a blinking red light on the nose and thought ‘plane.’ But it was so slow, low and silent.”

    The witness was able to describe the lighting on the triangle-shaped craft as it moved close. Pictured: New Milford, CT. (Credit: Google)

    But then the object made a turn.

    “Moments before it would have been overhead, it made a perfect 90-degree turn. At that point I could see its underbelly clearly. It was a perfect black triangle, slightly wider at the back than the sides (triangle tip facing forward for flight) with white and red line of lights along the back flashing in a sequence back and forth. Shortly after it turned it traveled behind the treeline and I continued on my way home.”

    New Milford is a town in southern Litchfield County, Connecticut, population 28,671. Connecticut MUFON Field Investigator Warren Fentress is investigating. The witness provided one illustration with the MUFON report, which was filed on November 17, 2016.

    USAF security police officer says he witnessed famous Rendlesham Forest UFO sighting, interview

    Editor’s note: The Rendlesham Forest UFO sightings took place over several days in late December, 1980. Although exact dates have been disputed, according to the witnesses, it is likely the event began very late on December 25. The Rendlsham forest is flanked by two Royal Air Force (RAF) bases, RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge. At the time, both were on lease to the United States Air Force. Personnel from both bases reported seeing UFOs the night of the 25th into the early morning of the 26th.

    When December comes around each year it always reminds me that what has been labelled as Britain’s foremost UFO incident took place. I refer of course to the events in late December 1980 in Rendlesham Forest, commonly referred to as the RFI. This incident is too big and too complicated to summarise here but for those who are not fully aware of it I would recommend you read the Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendlesham_Forest_incident.

    This year we have the new book The Halt Perspective, co-authored by Colonel Halt and John Hanson and published by ’Haunted Skies.’ To some, the RFI is THE case that can change ufology forever, while others dismiss it offering a variety of natural explanations to account for the observations in question.  For those who do not know who Colonel Halt is, he was the Deputy Base Commander at RAF Woodbridge in 1980, and was an eye witness to some of the UFO events observed in December 1980.

    I am not going to go over old ground, and my own opinion on the RFI remains open, but I am not convinced with a lot of the sceptical arguments against it. So, with all this in mind, I have recently taken the opportunity to interview one of the US Airmen that was on duty on one of the nights in question. To the best of my knowledge he has not gone on the record before. His name is Steve Longero. I spoke with Steve twice on the telephone on October 29th & 30th 2016.

    Who is Steve Longero ?

    Steve Longero

    Steve Longero

    My background:  

    I worked as a Police Officer for Dept of Veterans Affairs 1986-1988. I was hired by the County of Santa Clara Dept of Correction in 1988, while working in the jails, I also was a Reserve Police Officer for the city of Manteca! I ended up retiring from the Sheriffs office in Santa Clara County where I was recognized by the courts as a gang expert. I held the title of training officer, as was a team leader for the emergency response team there, until I retired in 2012.

    I was a former Sergeant – Honourable Discharge – at USAF Security Police (1980 – 1984). Yes. I was in the forest, I saw the lights, heard the conversations, talked about it and was told to be quiet! My roommate was Ed Cabansag! I really never talked about it to Penniston and Burroughs but I was there! Warren can tell you! Yes we were debriefed and told to keep quiet!

    Interview with Steve Longero

    Some of the following interview will be paraphrased while other parts will be verbatim.

    Philip Mantle: Can you tell us when you joined the USAF.

    Steve Longero: Yes, it’s been a long time. I joined in July, no June 1980.

    Mantle: Were your stationed anywhere else before you went to Bentwaters?

    Longero: No, that was my first duty. I was a security policeman. You know my job was patrolling the flight line and the weapons storage area (WSA).

    Mantle: Do you remember the nights in question in late December 1980?

    Longero: Yes, I sure do. I went on duty, what I remember that on one of those nights I was guarding the weapons storage area.

    While on duty that night, we had a very sophisticated alarm system and everything just went off. And then, you know, I could see these lights over the treetops, and I was thinking, “What’s going on?” Then they started sending people out there and at first, you know, it was hard to believe, you know, all these bright lights. It was hard to take in. Well, from what I remember, the lights, fluorescent lights, kind of a glow, like a reddish glow. I remember going out there.

    Steve went on to add that he went out into Rendlesham Forest and there were a lot of other people already there. The forest wasn’t that far from the perimeter. He was only a few hundred yards into the forest. He could not remember who ordered him to go out there.  He remembered the flight chief being out there. He saw the lights in the forest. There were a number of others out there including Larry Warren and Jim Penniston and Cabansag.  He was out in the forest from between one to two hours. A few days later they were told not to talk about it. Steve went on to confirm that OSI agents were there. He was asked to sign something and told not to talk about it.

    He remembers seeing, among others, Larry Warren when they were told to obtain the ‘light alls’ (portable lights). These were used to light up the forest. So they were taken into the area.

    Longero: I can’t remember verbatim what I saw that night but I was there.

    Mantle: What I’d like to ask you again, Steve, is when you went out into the forest you could see the lights over the trees. Could you tell me what those lights looked like, please?

    Longero: They looked like fluorescent coloured lights, like red and green, glowing lights and that’s what they looked like.

    Mantle: How long did you view them for do you reckon?

    Longero: I’d say ten to fifteen minutes, and I could see them hovering over the treetops, and it was just hovering over the treetops, and it was just, just, like an eye that was almost following everybody.

    Picture of Longero and his fellow airmen.

    Picture of Longero and his fellow airmen. Longero is in the bottom right.

    Mantle: When you went into the forest you mentioned others, can you remember anyone else who were there?

    Longero: Yes, Penniston and Burroughs and Cabansag and, I remember others starting coming, we all kind of got dispatched there, if I remember, Larry was out there. Because, if I remember right, Larry was working at a gate and he got picked up by, I want to say, a Lt. Englund. I remember he was at the East Gate and I remember he, they transported people from there, like I said, they sent a lot of people out there.

    Mantle: So when you were in the forest, can you explain to me what you saw and what was it like there?

    Longero: It was real kind of quiet and, you  know, this thing hovering over the trees, and you were like kind of tracking it and like, “What is this?,” you know, and it was like following, it was like watching us, that’s what it looked like to us. It seemed like something watching us.

    Mantle: What colour was it?

    Longero: From what I remember, it was like aglow. It was really glowing like a reddish, greenish light. It was a like, it war really glowing. You know what it looked like, like something was really hot and it was just glowing.

    Mantle: Did you see Col. Halt? Was he there?

    Longero: Col. Halt came afterwards, yes, he came afterwards, after all that was called in. I remember him turning up. That’s when they kind of gathered everyone around and said this is what we are going to do, and everybody kind of dispersed and did what they were told to do. I remember we had like a little briefing right there and everybody was just like, we just could not believe what we were seeing. Your adrenalin was flowing and I remember people saying like, “What is that?,” you know.

    Memo written by Col. Halt related to the incident that was leaked to the press.

    Mantle: Now, I know I have asked you this question before Steve, but some people believe that you misidentified the lighthouse. What do you say to that?

    Longero: (laughs). I don’t think so.

    Mantle: Could you see the lighthouse at the same time?

    Longero: I won’t say it was the lighthouse; no, it was not the lighthouse. Not unless the lighthouse could move (laughs). Unless they could float that thing in the air. And then, you know, as we got, as people were getting close to this thing, it kind of came nearer to us and then it would go forward and then go back and all of a sudden it just disappeared, like something out of Star Trek. It was like warp speed and we were all, “What was that?” It was gone, and then that’s when they started doing all their investigations and I was just a, after we secured the area, they said, “Okay. You’re gone. Get out of here.”

    Mantle: Was there a lot of talk about it back at base afterwards?

    Longero: Oh yes. It was all over the base. It was a big topic.

    Mantle: You said that you were debriefed a few days later. Is that right?

    Longero: Yes, I want to say a day or two later. I remember that night we all used to go and eat at the chow hall and everybody was talking about it and I remember, in fact, I want to say I was sitting at the table where Penniston was sitting, and he was a Staff Sergeant, and he told all of us to stop talking about it. I remember that, you know, stop talking about it.

    Mantle: You said, also, that Larry Warren was involved in helping set up the light-alls. Is that correct?

    Longero: He was. Yes, that’s true.

    Mantle: So who debriefed you Steve?

    Longero: You know, Philip, I remember going in, they called us in individually, and I want to say that it was security police investigations, and I do believe that there was an OSI agent in there. I remember this OSI gentleman with a beard. I remember getting pulled in. I remember getting talked to by Major Zickler. I remember getting called into his office for something like that.

    Mantle: Can you remember what the conversation was (with Major Zickler)?

    Longero: Well, you know, what you saw, remember where you work in the weapons storage area. It was like you don’t need to talk about this you don’t need to make a big deal out of this.

    Mantle: And we are talking about nuclear weapons here aren’t we?

    Longero: Yes sir.

    Mantle: So, there was a lot of talk, was there a consensus about what this thing was?

    Longero: Yes. It was like, “What did we see? Was this an experimental aircraft?” I remember that was one of the things, you know, “What was that?”

    Mantle: What do you think it was?

    Longero: I think it was something not from this world. Just because the way it hovered and just the way it disappeared.  That’s what I think. That’s what I’ve always thought.

    Mantle: You know Larry Warren has been criticized quite a bit. What do have to say in answer to that?

    Longero: I think there were a lot of haters out there who just didn’t like Larry Warren. I liked Larry. I went to tech school with him and I never had a problem with Larry, but I know there were people in that unit that didn’t like him for whatever reason. Maybe they didn’t like his personality, but I never had any issue with Larry.

    Mantle: But you definitely remember seeing him there, don’t you?

    Longero: I remember, what I remember is that we had something to do with these light-all things, I remember, yes. And that was out there, yes.

    Mantle: Did you get to know any of the civilians in the area at the time?

    Longero: No. After that, I just kind of kept myself to myself, and kind of thought, “I’ll do my bit and get out of here.”

    I have thanked Steve Longero for speaking to me and for going on the record for the very first time. Steve does not claim to be anything special, but he wanted to emphasize that there were a lot of others involved and who were witness to the events in question. Many of whom have yet to add their voice to these events.

    Steve has confirmed the open secret that nuclear weapons were stored at RAF Bentwaters at the time, although, he did not personally witness any lights being shone onto the WSA. He has confirmed much of what Colonel Halt has already said on the record, and he is in no doubt that Larry Warren was there.

    It is not the intention of this article to discuss what Steve and his colleagues may or may not have observed, nor is it my aim to support anyone’s story of whether they were there or not. One thing that is clear is that there are probably many others who were stationed there at the time and, as yet, have not gone on the record. Let us hope that in some small way this article might encourage some of them to come forward.

    What is also clear is that despite the best efforts of some, this case will continue to be hotly debated for many years to come. Do the events in late December 1980 in Rendlesham forest have a conventional explanation, or is Steve Longero correct when he says it was “something not of this world?” I leave you to decide.

    Indiana witness describes shape-shifting UFO

    An Indiana witness at Angola recalled a UFO encounter from 2012 involved a shape-shifting UFO, according to testimony in Case 79957 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

    The events began at 10:30 p.m. on July 7, 2012, at Little Long Lake where the lake is divided by both the Indiana and Michigan state line.

    The witness first noticed a bright light in the distance. Pictured: Little Long Lake. (Credit: Google)

    “I was on a pontoon boat sitting at the dock waiting for some friends who were using the bathroom in the cottage,” the witness stated. The skies were clear and full of stars. Being on the lake with little or no lights around the area made it very easy and enjoyable looking at the stars. It was an exceptional night for star gazing, which I love to do.”

    Several other people were on the pontoon boat at the same time.

    “I was laying down on one of the seats looking up at the stars in the sky. I happened to look to my right, which would be a northerly direction. As I looked off to my right, I noticed a glowing white ball in the sky, which seemed to get bigger as I gazed at it. It was moving toward our position. I figured it might be some kind of fireworks since it was just after the 4th of July (this incident was on Saturday, July 7th). But there weren’t any other fireworks being set off at the time.”

    The witness was curious and continued to watch the globe move toward the boat.

    “Maybe it was a plane, but the globe or circle of light was too big to be a plane. I sat up to get a better view of this display. My friend was directly across from me laying on the other reclined seat. He was looking in a westerly direction. His sister-in-law was in one of the captain’s seats in the front of the boat looking east. The light got as big as a penny and then it burst into a perfect rectangular-shaped light. No globe-shaped figure anymore, just a solid glowing white light in a rectangular shape – like the globe exploded but no fragments – just a perfectly shaped and very long rectangle.”

    The object soon disappeared.

    “This was only a few seconds before there was nothing. It was gone. I blurted out, ‘What the heck was that?’ My friend didn’t move and just asked ‘what?’ His sister-in-law asked the same. I said,‘Right there,’ as I pointed in the direction of the white globe turned rectangular burst. As my friend exclaimed,‘What did you see?’ and his sister-in-law was repositioning herself to look in the direction I was gazing, two smaller spheres or globes appeared; one coming from a westerly direction and the other coming from the east.”

    The witness described the two globes.

    “One was a red color or scarlet-colored globe – smaller than the white globe before it burst into the rectangular shape. The other globe was purple or violet-colored globe. They came to rest on top of one another it seemed. Just for a second before one accelerated very fast straight up and the other straight down. This all happened quickly – not in slow motion – but in a few seconds. So before my friend’s sister-in-law was able to position herself to look in the direction I was locked onto, the globes were gone.”

    The original object was too big to be a plane. Pictured: Little Long Lake. (Credit: Google)

    The witness became very excited.

    “I said, ‘Oh my God,’ look at that. My friend’s sister-in-law was turned around at the time and said – ‘what?’ I pointed in the direction of where these two globes had just disappeared. All of sudden, they both appeared again coming from the same direction they did before, from the west and the other from the east. They again stopped above each other – like resting on top of one another – for just a second or two and then just took off directly away from our position – very quickly until you couldn’t see them.”

    Indiana MUFON State Director Stewart I. Hill and Assistant State Director Ned Delaney investigated this case and closed it as an Unknown.

    “Though the short but vivid lighting effect suggests a possible meteor, the light formation and subsequent spheres tend to eliminate that explanation,” Hill and Delaney wrote in their report. “The fact that no others in the group observed a flash also tends to eliminate the meteor explanation.For lack of specific details beyond the light phenomenon and subsequent light patterns, it is extremely difficult to identify these sightings. Though the historical event could be a natural phenomenon, the resulting spheres raise additional questions about just what was observed. The additional event referenced as a moving light, which stops and speeds off, is consistent with numerous sightings of moving lights that don’t behave quite like a conventional aircraft. Recommended Disposition: Unknown/Other.”

    Please remember that most UFO sightings can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

    Interview-with-author-publisher-and-UFO-researcher-John-Hanson

    Interview with author, publisher and UFO researcher John Hanson

    A UFO book that is gathering interest and momentum at the moment is The Halt Perspective, so I have taken this opportunity to interview the book’s co-author and publisher, John Hanson. Lots has been said on social media and the controversy still continues, so I thought it might be the right time to go direct to the source and get an email interview with the man in question.

    Phillip Mantle: Please tell us something about your background. Who is John Hanson? When did you first become interested in the UFO phenomenon?

    John  Hanson: Early roots and sides of life

    HALT

    I am a retired West Midlands Police Officer, born in Didcot, Berkshire, now living in Worcestershire.

    My father – ex-RAF John Thomas Hanson, a Yorkshireman –  joined the  RSPCA [Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals] as an Inspector. In those days Inspectors were not allowed to stay more than 7 years on a posting, so I have many pleasant memories of having lived in Halifax, Leeds, Cheltenham and Surrey. My Dad worked many long hours and was always being called  out in the middle of the night to rescue an animal. This was before the hours were regulated. I am proud of him and my Mum – Didcot born Barbara Anne Hanson (nee Keats) – whom I adored and miss both of them. I have a sister, Carole, who lives in Gravesend.

    Trained as a chef

    After leaving school, my father found me a job in a solictor’s office but I took alternative employment as a chef at the Moorend Park Hotel, Cheltenham, before working for an outside caterers, R. Sills, where I certainly saw the other side of life, cooking at Hunt Balls and private functions at Stateley homes. How the other half lives!

    Birmingham City Police

    I joined the Birmingham City Police in 1966, after my Dad had his Sunbeam Talbot stolen, one night, while we were living in Chelteham. I spent half of my career in the CID [Criminal Investigation Department] and saw another side of life.

    In 1995, I left the force and had not the faintest idea that UFOs even existed. I have no memory of having seen any such incidents reported in the newspaper, during what was a prolific period of UFO activity. If I had, I would have believed the witnesses were suffering from flights of imagnation, drink, or in need of psychiatric attention. Was I in for a shock!

    PM: Could you explain how your series of HAUNTED SKIES books first came about?

    JH: How it all began

    My interest in the UFO phenomena began on the 19th of January, 1995, after Chris Hanson (my son) – a newly joined P.C. [Police Constable], also based at the same Police Station – was directed (along with another officer) to a suburb close to the Police training centre in Selly Park, South Birmingham, following a number of 999 calls made to the public, reporting an object with a blue tail and dark blue head seen racing over the City Centre at about 6.15pm.

    A doctor in Moseley then saw it drop down from the sky over the Stirchley area. The two officers interviewed the doctor and, while on the way back, saw a fat elliptical object with a blue field around it, with a line of rippling red through the middle, hovering over a copse of trees. Within seconds, it shrank into itself and disappeared. I thought they were joking, but in due course managed to find some witnesses from the Oxford area that saw a ‘D’ shaped object following the contours of the land, a few minutes later.

    Explained away as a shooting star by the local papers

    My interest was triggered by this singular event and I knew this was no shooting star. What a load of rubbish! When I wrote to the Bristish Astronimical Association, asking them for assitance, the head of the organisation sent me a postcard informing me that he had asked his fireball co-ordinator not to enter into any dialogue with ‘crackpot organisations,’ presmuably alluding to myself?

    One thing that has always motivated me, even as a ‘copper’, is adversity – it can only spur one on!

    College talk

    Following a talk given at the local Redditch College, Worcestershire, on UFOs, in the mid 1990s,  I met Redditch resident Dawn Marina Holloway who had photographed some trianguler objects in the sky over Barmouth. We became friends and decided to write a book, taking into consideration there was a dearth of books being written on the UFO subject, ironically triggered-off by an ernormous interest in popular science fiction such as the X Files, Star Trek, and other films that had gripped the public’s imagination, portraying man’s heroic fight against the alien invading hordes!

    First strange incident

    Oddly, a strange thing happened after talking about Tony Dodd’s investigations into a UFO encounter involving allegations of aliens captured in South Africa, which had involved showing film through my Panasonic VHS camera (the projector wasn’t working at the college). I returned home to Alvechurch and was about to get into bed, when the bedroom was lit up. I looked out and saw a ‘globe of bright light’ opposite the house. I picked up the camera and took a clip of film. The next thing I was aware of was waking up and carrying on with the daily duties. At some stage, I discovered the camera was missing and thought I had left it at the college or the pub aftewards, where I had enjoyed one pint only!

    During the evening, I searched the bedroom and found the camera. Immediately I remembered the UFO incident and examined the camera, and was pleased to find the film was still there. I will show the images  in Volume 13 of Haunted Skies (1995) and still find it a little embarrassing, as I cannot explain what happened at least to explain away the incident with any rationaility!

    We spent more years amassing a large amount of reports obtained from our own investigations. After interviewing witnesses in the West Midlands area, we thought, naively, we could fulfil our ambition.

    Gordon Creighton – Editor of Flying Saucer Review

    We went to see Gordon Creighton at his house in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire. He was a distinguished diplomat who reported seeing a  flying ‘disc’ in 1941 while serving in China. He had a passion for preserving  UFO sightings worldwide in the now famous magazines, and despite being seriously injured in a car accident, insisted on putting the FSRs [Flying Saucer Review] together from his hospital bed. We have so much admiration for him and his wife, Joan, and the rest of the team we met, and were so proud when he asked Dawn and I to be Consultants for FSR, after seeing our folders of catalogued reports.

    Dawn and I were also humbled to be invited to his funeral and I still have regrets about being asked to take over the Editor’s job, some years ago, which I had to refuse because of my full-time commitment to the Haunted Skies series of books.

    Forewords by Tim Good, Jenny Randles, Nick Redferen, Phil Mantle, Matt Lyons

    At some stage we met Tim Good, who promised us a foreword, and then sent the Chronicles of a Phenomenon synopsis off to his agent – who declined it, saying it was not focused, although he was impressed by our commitment and some of the work provided. We weren’t sure what he meant and, rather than pay a fee to be advisied accordingly, decided to present the sightings in chronoloigcal order – which meant a humongous amount of time spent in libraries, searching through telephone directories and then writing to newspapers appealing for information. Most of the time the results were unsuccessful, but others came forward to tell what they had seen.

    Preparing the foundation

    We read the majority of FRS/UFO Magazines/Newspapers and hundreds of books, determined to track down and interview the witnesses personally, feeling their UFO sightings and encounters should be preserved for posterity and future generations. We managed to trace people like Margaret Fry, Jessie Roestenberg, Robin Gibbons, James Salandin and other RAF officers, to name just a few, not forgetting the researchers – some of whom have now passed away.

    This cost us money to travel all over the country, but if we had the chance we would do it again.

    We feel privileged to have been given the opportunity to share what, in some cases, has been a traumatic experience, sometimes followed by ridicule, taking into consideration these people did not know us and were still prepared to discuss what, in some situations, were very private matters.

    Under criticism – goes with the territory

    A few years ago, we were criticized by one well-known researcher, who told us that it was a waste of time interviewing people and that we, as researchers, should just catalogue the reports without getting involved. Apparently, this course of self adopted action dictated him rubber stamping one famous UFO photograph as a hoax, without even speaking to the parties concerned!

    I would be the first to accept that, while I cannot categorically prove this either way, surely common sense dictates there is a benefit to interviewing people personally about their experiences, because that’s what good UFO investigation work is all about!

    Haunted Skies Publisher

    In 2010 we found a publisher, who agreed to publish Haunted Skies, Volume 1, and then 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, which were produced not through email or internet, but the old-fashioned way of driving backwards and forwards to Devon – sometimes twice a month, in all weathers often ‘kipping in the car’, as we couldnt afford the accomodation.

    Removed from sale – a devasting blow

    Sadly, in 2015, these six books were removed from sale; this meant we had lost £2,500 in  total fees, paid to the publisher for each book – not forgetting the other out-of-pocket expenses! These books are now fetching crazy prices of up to £2,000!  However, we learnt, as I explained before, that advertisity can only spur one on – sentiments expressed by my colleague, Phil Mantle, who now publishes his books through the Flying Disk Company.

    Haunted Skies Publishing

    In 2012, we set ourselves up as Haunted Skies Publishing and published Volume 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11.

    In November 2016, we completed the revised Volume One, in colour, and three times the original size! We are currently working on the Wiltshire book and revised Volume 2.

    Incredibly, although we have now self-published Volumes 8, 9, 10, and 11 of Haunted Skies books, we have still yet to publish the events of 1992 onwards, which is what we set out to do some 20 years ago!

    PM: Have you ever had a personal UFO sighting at all?

    JH: 2nd sighting

    In June 1996, I was with my son at The Crown Public House, Alvechurch. The time was 9.25pm. We both saw two huge well-defined ‘globes’ – the size of dustbin lids (in comparison to the tiny satelittes and aircraft overhead) – which then moved through the celestial arc across the sky, as if joined together side-by-side, before slipping down towards the eastern horizon.

    3rd sighting 

    Dawn and I were in Rendlesham Forest on the 27th of December, 2000, with Brenda Butler and other ‘sky watchers’, when an object was seen in the sky over the same area as nominated by Colonel Charles Halt and the other airmen. We took some film and were interviewed about the incident by the local news channel. Stills of the UFO are shown in The Halt Perspective.  It is important to also point out that we have experienced on more than one occasion a fall of a warm stone which fell with a thud onto the forest floor. This is referred to as ‘apports’ and is recognized phenomena, examples of which we have covered in the books.

    PM: Has being a former Police Detective helped you in your research of the UFO phenomenon? 

    JH: Yes, I suppose it has. However, at the end of the day it’s about treating people with decency and courtesy.  Many people who have the courage of going to the newspapers to report simply what they have seen later become the butt of ridicule by others. If one examines the thousands of UFO reports going back to the early 1960s, 90% are presented ‘tongue in cheek’ with banner grabbing headlines – published to entertain rather than alarm. After many years research, it is patently obvious, despite promises made of some form of disclosure by various Governments, that the ‘real truths’ which lie behind the daily incursions of these objects – (that’s presupposing they are known about) – will be kept from us for many years to come. I believe this is because the reality might be nothing like we could ever imagine!

    PM: Whilst compiling your research for your new book, The Halt Perspective, is there any one piece of evidence that for you really stands out?

    JHThe forgotten ‘wave’

    There are so many pieces of evidence that do stand out; the main one that most of us are aware of is the UFO ‘wave’ known for triangular UFOs, and was the subject of so much media attention in the mid 1980s. On occasion, the Belgium Air Force attempted to intercept the UFOs….but how many people know or suspect the existence of a similar UFO ‘wave’ over Essex and its surrounding borders with East Anglia, which began approximately in 1978 and went through to 1990 and onwards?

    Some of these objects were seen over Sizewell Nuclear Power Station, and the majority of these objects often showed three lights around the tips of the triangle. Sightings of three lights in the sky have provided the backcloth of so many reports that we have come across over the years.

    We have tried to attract the interest of the local newspapers in the Norfolk/Suffolk localities of East Anglia about this forgotten ‘wave’, but they do not appear to be interested. Whether this is because their editors have been advised accordingly, we do not know. All we can say is that after six years of publishing these fantastic books, we have never received any interest by the tabloid newspapers apart from one or two slight references of late.

    Colonel Halt‘s views

    “I still didn’t say much publicly until people started putting out all kinds of garbage and nonsense…..So much disinformation out there and people bugging me about what happened – I finally decided, it’s time to tell the truth. I believe the objects that I saw at close quarter were extraterrestrial in origin and that the security services of both the United States and the United Kingdom have attempted – both then and now – to subvert the significance of what occurred at Rendlesham Forest and RAF Bentwaters by the use of well-practiced methods of disinformation.

    I was a non-believer; I never really gave it a second thought before the incident. But I’ve got so much material from so many people, and talked to very credible people – people that do not want their names used – that are in very influential positions, including some that are as high in the government as you can get. I can tell you, we are not alone. I can guarantee you that.

    Folks, there is an agency, a very close-held, compartmentalized agency, that’s been investigating this for years, and there’s a very active role played by many of our intelligence agencies that probably don’t even know the details of what happens once they collect the data and forward it. It’s kind of scary, isn’t it? In the last couple of years, the British have released a ton of information, but has anybody ever seen what their conclusions were, or heard anything about Bentwaters officially?

    When the documents were released, the time frame I was involved in the incident is missing – it’s gone missing. Nothing else is missing. I have never been harassed over the reports I made about the Bentwaters UFO incidents, probably for a couple of good reasons – number one, my rank and some of the jobs I’ve held, but also very early on, I sat down and made a very detailed tape and made several copies of everything I know about it and they’re secluded away. Maybe I’m paranoid. I don’t know, but I think it was time well spent when I made the tapes.”

    PM: What do you say to those that remain sceptical of the events in Rendlesham Forest back in late December 1980?

    JH: Read The Halt Perspective book!

    PM: In your opinion, how do we keep moving forward with UFO research?

    JH: Learning to respect each other, instead of fighting with each other on Facebook, and other social media vying to raise individual profiles and increase the size of personal egos. Most people would never dream of writing their vociferous complaints in a letter but feel free to profane and attack others on Facebook, knowing they are not going to be taken to task. You know as well as I do that a huge number of UFO groups no longer exist and that we are becoming ‘ring fenced’ on the Internet.

    Surely, as a group of people dedicated to preserving UFO activity, we should be entitled to some answers – but these are not likely to be forthcoming. How many times have we seen the media’s excitement about forthcoming MOD files, accompanied by the glare of publicity, to be dashed away when they are released? I’ve seen this now happening for over 20 years and one should ask in all honesty what it has actually achieved.  Similarly when they did release the files each year the majority of the files were low grade and failed to include many that we had personally investigated, involving being reported to the MOD over 30 years ago!  Despite assurances by the MOD to us, they would be!  As I said before at the beginning, adversity pushes us forward; we should never give up demanding an answer to what is, after all, the greatest conundrum of all time.  Most importantly the work that we all do should be preserved in book for future generations who will have to depend on the Authorities view of such phenomena.

    Hovering sphere UFO splits into three objects

    A Wisconsin witness at Medford reported watching a hovering sphere in the night sky that split into three spheres before “turning off,” according to testimony in Case 79892 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

    The witness and a friend were camping at Spearhead Point Campground in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest at 7 p.m. on October 13, 2016, when the incident occurred.

    “This was our fourth night at the campground, and the first night since we had been there that the sky was clear,” the witness stated. “I had noticed a bright, white sphere in the eastern sky, and I had been trying to figure out what it was. It was too big for a star, and I thought that it might be a planet.”

    The witness continued to keep an eye on the object.

    “All of the sudden it started to move, slowly at first, and then faster. I told my friend what I was seeing as my friend is blind. It was moving south-southeast, and had become obscured by some evergreen trees.”

    The witness then ran from the picnic table, down the steps to the dock at the campground, to gain a better view of the object that was moving south-southeast. But the object could not be seen. Then back at the picnic table area, the witness again saw the sphere.

    “While I was describing the sphere, and scrambling to find a camera or our video recorder, the sphere split forming two spheres. When it split, it appeared as though the new sphere dripped off the original sphere. These spheres were originally aligned vertically, and then the lower sphere moved upward to be aligned horizontally. Once the spheres were aligned horizontally, one of the spheres split again. There were now three spheres aligned horizontally.”

    The witness noticed a change in size when the spheres split.

    “Each time there was a split, the spheres became smaller, and they were all bright white. The two spheres on either side just seemed to turn off, leaving the sphere in the middle. That sphere began to change colors, cycling through white to red to red-orange. This continued for about a minute, and then that sphere just turned off. The original sphere was slightly bigger than a BB held at arm’s length, and it was oriented approximately 45-degrees above the horizon.”

    The witness could not estimate how far away the objects were.

    “Since I’m not familiar with the area, I don’t have an estimate of how far away the object might have been from the campground. The object(s) did not make any noise, and I didn’t see anything like an exhaust trail. The overall sighting lasted around 40-50 minutes. About 20 minutes after all of the objects had disappeared, a plane flew over our campground. It was easy to hear the plane’s engine. You could see the outline of the plane in the sky, as well as see the aviation lights blinking on and off. Unfortunately, we did not get a photo of the object(s). My camera had fallen out of my backpack onto the ground under the picnic table, and I didn’t see it there until the next morning. We did get the video camera out, but were unable to record the object(s) due to a camera malfunction.”

    Wisconsin MUFON State Director Susan Birttnen investigated this case and closed it as an Unknown.

    “The shape of the objects was in a sphere with a glowing surface,” Birttnen wrote in her report.“The size was unknown. The color was white for two of the spheres and the third sphere was red/orange. The objects flashed sequentially. There was no sound. The elevation was at 45-degrees.The lowest altitude and distance was unknown.The objects were hovering over the Mondeaux Flowage water-way.The campground was pretty rustic. There were no street lights. The only light was from their fire pit and the nearly full moon. About 20 minutes after the objects disappeared, a plane flew over the area.”

    Iowa witness reports low flying UFO

    An Iowa witness at Iowa City reported having a brief encounter with a chevron-shaped UFO that banked hard and quickly moved away, according to testimony in Case 79752 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

    The witness was driving to a nearby gas station when the object was first noticed at 9:20 p.m. on October 11, 2016.

    “Saw stationary lights in a ‘W’ or chevron wedge above my head with some unusual light patterns,” the witness stated.“Was silent. I am in the flight path of a municipal airfield and planes go directly over my home to land approximately 200 yards away – small craft, but slow and low — usually very loud but not enough to be alarmed.”

    The witness assumed the object was a plane.

    “But no accompanying sound before during or after. Nice weather – had window down driver’s side and sunroof was open. Also, it wasn’t moving. Most planes move.”

    The witness described the object.

    “Light pattern changed when it glided onward ahead of me, banked sharply as a lazy course correction of sort. Couldn’t recall if lights were in a pattern of changing. It was soon far ahead of me and I can’t tell if I lost sight from clouds or just distance or some other intervention. I first felt odd for a plane holding still in the air. Then it wasn’t like most planes I have seen.”

    The object then quickly moved away.

    “Then it accelerated away faster than a car could, even a fun car. Also, it was above me and quickly rolled to the right to be going more south-southwest and southwest. It was loosely following the road.”

    Iowa MUFON Field Investigator David Kreiter investigated this case and closed it as an Unknown.

    “The object itself was barely discernable behind the array of equidistant-spaced lights that outlined its chevron shape,” Kreiter wrote in his report. “The object made no noise as it hovered overhead for about 10 seconds, and then it took off due south at a very high rate of speed, banked to the right, and then continued in a south-southwest direction. It disappeared only about two to three seconds after it moved from its initial stationary position.”

    The investigator interviewed the witness at the sighting location.

    “He said that the general color was pink, but the lights might have had multiple colors. He said that he often saw planes coming low into the airport, so it took him a second or two to figure out exactly what he was seeing. He was shocked to see that the object was silently hovering just about one-quarter mile above his car. He didn’t stop his car, but continued on at a very slow pace. After about 10 seconds, the object took off at a very high rate of speed. After about a second, it banked slightly to the right and headed off toward the south-southwest in the same direction as highway 1.

    “During the interview the witness said that the object was about the distance of ‘metal horns’ at arm’s length, which is a reference to a salute fans perform at a rock concert when they raise their arms and extend the index finger and the little finger of their hand. This distance is about two inches or about five centimeters. When the object was at its furthest point from the witness, about three seconds after the object took off at a high rate of speed and before he lost sight of it, the apparent size was about one-half the initial apparent size that the witness reported when the object was stationary above his car.

    “Because of the flight characteristics of the object, the shape of the object, and the color of its lights, it is unlikely that the object was natural or human-made.The temperature was 61 degrees, with calm conditions and a clear sky at the time and date of the sighting. No similar cases were reported during the time, date, and location of this sighting to my knowledge.Taking into account the credibility of the witness and the results of the ensuing investigation, I have assigned this case a disposition of Unknown–UAV.”

    The witness had just stepped out of a vehicle at a work site at 3:15 p.m. on November 23, 2016, when the object was first seen.

    “I noticed the reflection of light in the sky,” the witness stated.“It was stationary, and appeared to change shape.”

    A short time later, the object appeared to move.

    “After about 30 to 45 seconds, the object began moving very slowly, to the east-southeast. It made no sound, or was too far away to distinguish sound. Elevation did not appear to change. Stopped recording video, when visual contact was obstructed by a building. Began recording again, when visual was regained. Feeling confident that it was moving slow enough to re-acquire.”

    Sphere UFO lights up California campsite

    A California witness at Angles Camp reported watching a distant light that illuminated his campground before making an abrupt turn and moving away at high speed, according to testimony in Case 79773 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

    The witness and a friend were camping at New Melones Lake and watching the stars about 10:30 p.m. on July 26, 2016, when the incident occurred.

    “We both noticed a craft that had an exceptionally bright light on the exterior slowing moving towards us from the north,” the witness stated.“About 10 seconds later, we observed the exterior light on the craft becoming significantly brighter to the point that it fully illuminated our campsite, similar to a police helicopter spotlight, but this craft was over a mile away and made no noise.”

    The two watched the object as it appeared to divide.

    “The object then appeared to split into two separate craft flying side-by-side and five seconds later followed by an abrupt 90-degree turn and sped off at a very high rate of acceleration covering a distance of at least five miles in under half a second – all while making no noise.”

    The witness states that they were not using drugs or alcohol.

    “We were both in awe at what we had witnessed and somewhat afraid. I am not sure if the craft(s) we observed were in the shape of a sphere or if that was just the external lights.”

    New Melones Lake  is a reservoir on the Stanislaus River in the central Sierra Nevada foothills, within Calaveras County and Tuolumne County, California.California MUFON Field Investigator Jerry Clinton Gerow investigated this case and closed it as an Unknown.

    “At this point I believe we have an Unknown,” Gerow wrote in his report.“Another possibility would be air traffic. There is a helicopter port north of the lake where the lights were apparently coming from, an airport to the northeast, southeast and southwest. A possibility would be that one or two helicopters lifted off from the helio port to the north with spot/search lights and then made an abrupt turn to their left and when they did it appeared the lights were flashing off to the left. No large planets or stars are of sufficient size to match the size of the objects which the witness says were almost moon size.”

    Classic Disk UFO Over Bay Village, Ohio On Dec 5, 2016, UFO Sighting News.


    Date of sighting: Dec 5, 2016
    Location of sighting:  Bay Village, Ohio, USA
    Source: MUFON #80870

    This UFO is the classic disk we have all heard about over the last few decades. The classic disk has been found in NASA photos on the moon, ESA photos of Comet P67 and even UFO cases that lasted decades like the Rocca Pia, Italy friendship case that included aliens and humans working together. Nice catch, 

    Scott C. Waring

    Eyewitness states: 

    I was in my kitchen, getting a cup of coffee. Looked out to see what at first I thought was a very very large plane moving extremely slow across the southwest sky. It had blinking lights, yellow, golden in color, looked to be the shape of a triangle. The lights were 3-4 spaced on either side. I ran to get my binoculars as my son was a pilot. I am very familiar with planes. At first I thought it might have been a larger plane. This object was moving so slow, a normal plane could not stay up in the sky given the speed of this object. No sounds. 


    By the time I got my binoculars, it was moving past trees, headed towards Avon Lake. I saw another report made earlier from someone that also saw a light over the Lake the same day. I am not sure what time this person saw the object they reported but my sighting was between 8-8:30 PM. Yesterday, December 7th, I was looking out my kitchen window and noticed how pretty the clouds were. I grabbed my camera and took a few pictures to show my husband. Attached is one of the regular pictures I took with nothing in it but the clouds. I took several more and then noticed an "object" appeared on one of the frames. I did not see this object when I was snapping the photos but it is there. Looks like a round classic UFO...I tried to blow it up to see it better but the camera I had in my hands was a small Cool Pix. I have seen numerous sightings here. I also have another video of one we saw a few years ago. When you view the picture, look at the top left hand corner. You may have to blow it up to view but the picture prior to that, you just see the clouds, nothing else. I didn't want to upload all the other pictures to make a point. I have them on file though. You can see the object in DSCN 3078.

    This at first looks like a planet, but as you see, its 100% in focus, so that rules out planet. This is however a white light UFO which we have also reported dozens of times over the hills of Colorado this year and in the past over the holy location called Dome of Rock. In both instances this same UFO was seen in this same detail, but by thousands of eyewitnesses. It the night sky, its easy to mistake it for a star, but with this perfectly focused camera...it was caught. Technology as it advances will reveal the truth to us...without the governments help.

    Eyewitness states:

    At about 6:56 pm I was outside and noticed a large redish ball of light that appeared to be motionless in the sky at about 95 degrees magnetic from my location. It was very bright, and at first I thought it was a parachute flare like those used by the army. I am a retired army veteran, and one of my specialies was as a Redeye missile gunner, so I am expert in visual aircraft recognition and have never seen an aircraft emit a light of this color or intensity. It appeared much brighter than the planet Venus, which was clearly visible to the west of my location at that time. I observed it for about 3 minutes, then it abruptly disappeared.

    UFO Hunters Claim USAF Acquires Alien Technology Through Making Alliance With Extraterrestrials

    ufo

    The USAF and UFOs are trusted allies as the former is testing the acquired alien UFO technology at the Nellis Air Force base, according to renowned UFO hunter Steve Barone.  In a YouTube video uploaded by Steve, a UFO is seen above the restricted test and training area of the Nellis Air Force facility.

    UFO hunter Steve Barone has been keeping a close monitoring of suspected alien activities around the Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas. He claimed that there had been substantial alien activities in the area. He used night vision technology camera to capture the video.

    Steve said that it had not been processed and completely original. He explained that he did not do anything to enhance or alter it, so the video shows exactly what the night vision camera had captured.

    The United States Air Force (USAF) and UFOs have combined their forces, and that the USAF has acquired new technologies for military purposes, Steve Barone said. It has also been reported in different technology news site that USAF received UFO alien technology, which then tested in the controversial Area 51 and the Nellis Air Force.

    Veteran UFO hunters further confirmed reports of a possible alliance between USAF and extraterrestrials. They said that the video shows three UFOs over the USAF Nellis Air Force base. They further claimed that it shows the USAF performing a test of alien UFO technology.

    Some UFO researchers believe the test was conducted in that area so no one can travel over to witness the activity. They also speculated that the high-security area is designed for alien UFO technology tests.

    Scientists Find a Quasicrystal from Outer Space in a Russian Meteorite

    Written by BECKY FERREIRA

    CONTRIBUTOR

    The phrase “quasicrystal from outer space” sounds like the title to a science fiction thriller with a New Age twist. But a study published Thursday in Scientific Reportsannounced that a bonafide quasicrystal has indeed been discovered within the grainy remains of a meteorite found in the Khatyrka region of the Russian far east, five years ago. The paper marks the first time that a type of quasicrystal has been identified in nature before it was created artificially in a lab.

    You might be asking: That’s neat, but what the heck is a quasicrystal? An understandable question. First identified by material scientist Dan Shechtman in 1982—who won the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his discovery—quasicrystals are crystal-like arrangements of atoms that defy expectations of crystalline behavior with their “forbidden” rotational symmetries.

    Regular crystal structures are periodically arranged in neatly fitted shapes like cubes (four-fold symmetry) or triangles (three-fold symmetry), but quasicrystals are arranged in non-periodic patterns such as pentagonal, five-fold symmetries.

    Patricia Thiel, a chemistry and materials science expert based at Iowa State University, used this helpful analogy of tiling a floor to explain the unique properties of quasicrystals in this NPR article: “If you want to cover your bathroom floor, your tiles can be rectangles or triangles or squares or hexagons,” she said. “Any other simple shape won’t work, because it will leave a gap. In a quasicrystal, imagine atoms are at the points of the objects you’re using. What Danny [Shechtman] discovered is that pentagonal symmetry works.”

    It should be impossible, but material science is full of surprises. While quasicrystals are most often studied via artificial synthesis in labs, the Khatyrka meteorite demonstrates that they can form naturally. Two previous quasicrystal forms have already been identified in the fragments of this outer space visitor, but both of those arrangements had been synthesized prior to their discovery in nature. However, the latest version features icosahedral symmetry, an exotic pattern featuring 60 points of rotational symmetry, somewhat like that of a soccer ball.

    Paul Steinhardt, who serves as the Albert Einstein professor in science at Princeton University, was one of the authors of the new research. When I asked him why this one meteorite, which only survives as a few stray grains, seems to have such an abundance of quasicrystals, he told me there’s no simple answer.

    “There are perhaps one or two other groups [of researchers] at most searching,” Steinhardt said. “Since we found an example, we have been focusing on understanding how this particular one formed since that will tell us something about the likelihood of finding others. But it is very very early times for these kinds of studies.”

    “What is encouraging is that we have already found three different types of quasicrystals in the same meteorite, and this new one has a chemical composition that has never been seen for a quasicrystal,” he added. “That suggests there is more to be found, perhaps more quasicrystals that we did not know were possible before.”

    Scientists have come a long way towards a better understanding of quasicrystals since their discovery some three decades ago, and they have found many practical applications for them in everything from frying pans to LED lights. But as Steinhardt emphasized, much of the field is still in its infancy, and there is much left to discover. Stay tuned.

    NASA's Cassini spacecraft grazed Saturn's iconic rings Sunday (Dec. 4), performing the first plunge of the long-lived mission's next-to-last phase.

    Cassini zoomed within 57,000 miles (91,000 kilometers) of Saturn's cloud tops on Sunday morning, diving through the planet's ring plane at about the spot where a faint ring generated by the small moons Janus and Epimetheus lies, NASA officials said.

    Cassini will perform 19 more such close passes, each one about a week apart, through April 22, 2017.

    "It's taken years of planning, but now that we're finally here, the whole Cassini team is excited to begin studying the data that come from these ring-grazing orbits," Linda Spilker, Cassini project scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, said in a statement. "This is a remarkable time in what's already been a thrilling journey."

    The $3.2 billion Cassini-Huygens mission, a joint effort involving NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency, launched in October 1997 and arrived in orbit around Saturn in July 2004. In January 2005, the piggyback Huygens lander descended to the surface of Titan; the Cassini mothership, meanwhile, kept studying Saturn and the planet's rings and moons.

    That work won't last much longer, however. On April 22, Cassini will fly close to Titan, whose gravity will reshape the probe's orbit such that it zooms between Saturn and its innermost ring, which lies just 1,500 miles (2,400 km) from the planet.

    Cassini will then make 22 plunges through this gap during the "Grand Finale" phase of its mission, which will conclude with an intentional death dive into Saturn's thick atmosphere on Sept. 15, 2017.

    This suicide maneuver will ensure that Cassini doesn't contaminate Titan or its fellow Saturn moon Enceladus with microbes from Earth, NASA officials have said. (Both satellites may be capable of supporting life; scientists think that both Titan and Enceladus harbor subsurface oceans of liquid water, and Titan has seas of hydrocarbons on its surface.)

    Spoiler alert: The universe is flat. But there's a lot of subtlety packed into that innocent-looking statement. What does it mean for a 3D object to be "flat"? How do we measure the shape of the universe anyway? Since the universe is flat, is that…it? Is there anything else interesting to say?

    Oh yes, there is.

    First, we need to define what we mean by flat. The screen you're reading this on is obviously flat (I hope), and you know that the Earth is curved (I hope). But how can we quantify that mathematically? Such an exercise might be useful if we want to go around measuring the shape of the whole entire universe. [The History & Structure of the Universe (Infographic)]

    One answer lies in parallel lines. If you start drawing two parallel lines on your paper and let them continue on, they'll stay perfectly parallel forever (or at least until you run out of paper). That was essentially the definition of a parallel line for a couple thousand years, so we should be good.

    Let's repeat the exercise on the surface of the Earth. Start at the equator and draw a couple parallel lines, each pointing directly north. As the lines continue, they never turn left or right but still end up intersecting at the North Pole. The curvature of the Earth itself caused these initially parallel lines to end up not-so-parallel. Ergo, the Earth is curved.

    The opposite of the Earth's curved shape is a saddle: on that surface, lines that start out parallel end up spreading apart from each other (in swanky mathematical circles this is known as "ultraparallel"). [I explore the possible shapes of the universe in this video.]

    The shape of the universe depends on its density. If the density is more than the critical density, the universe is closed and curves like a sphere; if less, it will curve like a saddle. But if the actual density of the universe is equal to the critical density, as scientists think it is, then it will extend forever like a flat piece of paper.

    So there you have it: You can measure the "flatness" of a structure just by watching how parallel lines behave. In our 3D universe, we could watch beams of light: If, say, two lasers started out perfectly parallel, then their long-term behavior would tell us important things.

    Remember that measuring the shape of the universe is a question for cosmology, the study of the entire universe. And in cosmology, nobody cares about you. Or me. Or solar systems. Or black holes. Or galaxies. In cosmology we care about the universe only at the very largest scales; small-scale bumps and wiggles are not important for this question.

    The universe has all sorts of deformations in space-time where it varies from the perfectly flat. Any place where there's mass or energy, there's a corresponding bending of space-time — that's General Relativity 101. So a couple light beams would naturally collide inside a wandering black hole, or bend along weird angles after encountering a galaxy or two.

    But average all those small-scale effects out and look at the big picture. When we examine very old light — say, the cosmic microwave background — that has been traveling the universe for more than 13.8 billion years, we get a true sense of the universe's shape. And the answer, as far as we can tell, to within an incredibly small margin of uncertainty, is that the universe is flat.

    Well, that settles that. But this article isn't over yet, which means there's more to the story.

    Have you ever asked yourself if there's a difference between a cylinder and a sphere? More than likely not, but it's never too late to try new things.

    Take out your piece of paper with two parallel lines on it. Go ahead, dig it out of the trash. Wrap one end around to meet the other, making a cylinder. Carefully observe the parallel lines — they remain parallel, don't they? That's because cylinders are flat.

    You heard it here first: Cylinders are flat.

    There's an important distinction between geometry, the behavior of parallel lines, and topology, the way a space can get all twisted up. While the geometry of the universe is very well measured (again, it's flat), the topology is not. And here's a bonus fact: not only can we not determine the topology of the universe from observations, but there are also no laws of physics that predict or restrict the topology.

    With your 2D piece of paper, you can connect the ends a few different ways. Connect one of the dimensions normally and you have a cylinder. Flip one edge over before connecting and you've made a Mobius strip. Connect two dimensions, the top to the bottom and one side to the other, and you have a torus (aka a donut).

    In our 3D universe, there are lots of options — 18 known ones, to be precise. Mobius strips, Klein bottles and Hantzsche-Wendt space manifolds are all non-trivial topologies that share something in common: if you travel far enough in one direction, you come back to where you started. In the case of flipped dimensions, when you come back to your starting point, you'll find yourself upside down without having tried to do so at all. [Watch: Explaining the Shape of the Universe.]

    Of course we've looked to see if our universe is connected like this; we don't see any copies of galaxies, and we don't see the cosmic microwave background intersecting itself. If the universe is pretzeled-up, it's on scales far, far larger than what we can observe.

    So don't get too excited by possibility of living in a real-life version of the "Asteroids" game — which, as you now know, is played on the surface of a donut.

    Drill Glitch Brings Mars Rover Curiosity to a Halt

    NASA's Curiosity Mars rover has stopped driving and using its 7-foot-long (2.1 meters) arm while mission controllers investigate a problem with the robot’s sample-collecting drill.

    Curiosity was supposed to begin its seventh drilling operation of 2016 last week. But team members learned on Thursday (Dec. 1) that the car-size rover detected a problem with its "drill feed mechanism" — which pushes the drill outward from a turret at the end of Curiosity's arm — and failed to complete the command.

    "We are in the process of defining a set of diagnostic tests to carefully assess the drill feed mechanism. We are using our test rover here on Earth to try out these tests before we run them on Mars," Curiosity deputy project manager Steven Lee, of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, said in a statement Monday (Dec. 5). [Amazing Mars Photos by NASA's Curiosity Rover (Latest Images)]

    "To be cautious, until we run the tests on Curiosity, we want to restrict any dynamic changes that could affect the diagnosis," Lee added. "That means not moving the arm and not driving, which could shake it."

    Curiosity is not in a precautionary "safe mode," however. The rover continues to study its surroundings on the lower slopes of the 3.4-mile-high (5.5 kilometers) Mount Sharp using the cameras and spectrometer on its head-like "mast," as well as its weather-station gear, which is attached to the mast and Curiosity's body, NASA officials said.

    Meanwhile, the rover team is trying to figure out what caused the drill issue.

    "Two among the set of possible causes being assessed are that a brake on the drill feed mechanism did not disengage fully, or that an electronic encoder for the mechanism's motor did not function as expected," NASA officials wrote in the same statement.

    It may be possible to work around either of these issues, Lee said.

    Curiosity's drill bores into rock using both rotating and percussive (hammering) action. Last week's attempt would have been the first time the rover used just the rotary aspect, NASA officials said. (Short circuits in the percussive component have occurred several times over the past two years or so, temporarily sidelining Curiosity.)

    "We still have percussion available, but we would like to be cautious and use it for targets where we really need it, and otherwise use rotary-only where that can give us a sample," said Curiosity project scientist Ashwin Vasavada, also of JPL.

    The $2.5 billion Curiosity mission touched down inside Mars' Gale Crater in August 2012, tasked with determining whether or not the area could ever have supported microbial life. The rover quickly found plenty of evidence in the affirmative, determining from drilled samples that Gale hosted a long-lasting lake-and-stream system in the ancient past.

    Curiosity is now climbing up through the foothills of Mount Sharp, which lies in Gale's center. The six-wheeled robot is searching for clues about how, why and when Mars transitioned from a relatively warm and wet world long ago to the cold, dry planet it is today.

    To date, Curiosity has driven 9.33 miles (15.01 km) on Mars, gained 541 feet (165 m) in elevation and drilled into 15 rocks, NASA officials said.

    North Wales X Files: MoD contacted by MP over UFO 'buzzing' near RAF Valley Anglesey

    Incident appeared in documents released by the National Archives on UFO reports across the UK

    Reports an unidentified flying object was spotted “buzzing” near the tower on the RAF Valley base on Anglesey emerged in 1990
    Reports an unidentified flying object was spotted “buzzing” near the tower on the RAF Valley base on Anglesey emerged in 1990

    In 1990 an unidentified flying object was spotted “buzzing” the tower at the RAF Valley base on Anglesey.

    The claimed sighting on October 16 that year was taken seriously by the local MP at the time, Ieuan Wyn Jones.

    He wrote to the Ministry of Defence (MoD) asking for reassurances over the incident.

    However, the MoD replied to Mr Jones, who later became the Welsh Government’s Deputy First Minister, stating staff could not remember the incident and it hadn’t been recorded in the air traffic log books.

    The ministry suggested it could be explained by another aircraft flying over the base.

    “Certainly such an incident would have been notified to the senior air traffic control officer had it occurred,” the MoD said.

    “Military aircraft from a variety of RAF establishments regularly undertake low-flying training sorties over the North Wales area and it’s likely that a routine military low-flying training sortie could account for the observation.”

    The incident appeared in documents released by the National Archives on UFO reports across the UK.

    It is not the first time unidentified objects has been seen in the skies over Anglesey.

    On February 7 2001, strange lights were spotted in the North Wales sky over two towns just minutes apart.

    The first sighting took place above Caernarfon at 7.40pm of a “green” and “red” object that on first sight “looked like a star”.

    Then five minutes later and 25 miles away, another sighting occurred over Amlwch on Anglesey at 7.45pm.

    The sightings appeared in an official Government UFO report which had recorded hundreds of strange objects spotted in the sky across the UK that year.

    John Lennon 'killed for discovering truth about UFOs and aliens' – shock claim

    BEATLES star man John Lennon was tragically killed 36 years ago today – but there are areas of his life that still baffle fans to this day.

    On December 8, 1980 the British musician was shot dead by Mark David Chapman outside his residence in New York City, US.

    Conspiracists have long claimed Chapman was in fact working for the US government – FBI documents released in 2010 suggested they tried to deport Lennon on a number of occasions for his music and influence.

    But one element of his life continues to confuse the most scientific of supporters.

    Six years before his death – on August 23, 1974 – Lennon claimed to have come face-to-face with a UFO.

    Describing it from the rooftop of his New York apartment just after the incident, the 34-year-old said: “I saw a UFO and it went down the river, turned right at the United Nations, turned left and then down the river.

    “I saw a UFO and it went down the river”

    “It wasn’t a helicopter and it wasn’t a balloon. It was silent, it looked dark and had white lights.”

    His secretary and lover at the time May Pang corroborated his story in her book Loving John, where she went on to explain it as a “large, circular object coming towards us.”

    And – according to Pang – it wasn’t the first time the singer encountered extra-terrestrial beings.

    In an interview with Larry Warren – from the Merseyside Anomalies Research Association – she said: “He [Lennon] told me that more than once he suspected he had been abducted as a child back in Liverpool.

    “And he felt that experience was responsible for making him feel different from other people for the rest of his life.”

    STRANGE: Lennon's Walls and Bridges album depicts a UFO

    The star’s obsession with UFOs continued after his experience and in his design for the Walls and Bridges album cover, an alien spacecraft is the focal point.

    Soon after his completion of the album, Lennon reunited with former lover Yoko Ono and retired from the music business for more than five years.

    And it is this that has captivated the minds of so many.

    Almost as soon as Lennon returned from his hiatus – with new ideas and an album – he was killed.
