Filer’s Files #51 2016 Castro Saw UFOs
Strange object filmed over Bucaramanga, Colombia on December 11, 2016
Filer’s Files #51 2016 Castro Saw UFOs
In special reports, this week’s files cover: Fidel Castro, Extraterrestrial Evolution, and Climate Change?
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over California, Florida, Indiana, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Vermont and Washington.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Canada, Columbia, Germany, Mexico, Netherlands Antilles, and England and Scotland, in the United Kingdom.
The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The US Air Force investigated UFOs publicly for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.
Forward these files to your friends and neighbors.

FIDEL CASTRO’S ALIEN CRAFT SIGHTING IN CUBA
Fidel Castro who passed away on November 25, 2016 orchestrated the Cuban Revolution and was the head of Cuba’s government until 2008. In an interview, Castro shed light on unforgettable scenarios that were witnessed by him and the revolutionary Cuban soldiers. The interview caught the attention of many UFO enthusiasts as Castro maintained that he saw a “round and enormous” light from an extra-terrestrial spaceship. Castro said, “There we were, in the middle of the night with our rifles on our knees. Then we suddenly saw a light darting among the stars. The light approached the group of commanders and poured over us like a bucket.” Based on the historic Cuban revolution icon, the sighting must have occurred between 1953 and 1959 as these six years were dedicated to the momentous Cuban insurgency. He told researcher Jose Luis Gil, “It was round and enormous. The countryside and the mountains became illuminated as though it was daylight.” Keeping in view how distinguished and celebrated personality Fidel Castro is, the claims fascinated most of the enthusiasts who are constantly searching for the presence of alien clues. The jaw-dropping claim has reconfirmed the extraterrestrial presence of UFO in the universe. The interview was published in a book titled “Solo Para Tus Ojos“, or “For Your Eyes Only” in English, by well-known UFO researcher and journalist Juan Jose Benitez, The book has been published in order to take account of the increasing UFO sighting incidents and contains interviews with 300 people, including the famous Cuban leader.

Depiction of Meteor Crashing into the Gulf of Mexico in the late Cretaceous Period.
Fahrusha a co-host of “Shattered Reality Podcast writes, “Extraterrestrial evolution is a topic of great interest to me in a number of ways. The thought of this may be bizarre to many people, but perhaps it shouldn’t be. There are four factors that come immediately to mind.
There are probably billions of planets in our Milky Way Galaxy and quadrillions in other telescopically visible galaxies. Scientists disagree on how many of these other worlds might generate life, but few think we are alone. Even the Vatican is very open to the concept of extraterrestrial intelligent beings.
Some great cosmological thinkers have posited the idea of Panspermia, including Dr. Chandra Wickramasinghe and the late Sir Fred Hoyle (1915–2001). Panspermia is defined by Google as the theory that life on Earth originated from microorganisms or chemical precursors of life present in outer space which were able to initiate life upon reaching a suitable environment. Today a scientist in the UK named Professor Milton Wainwright is sending up balloons to the stratosphere to discover microbial life from space. Think spores traveling on comets etc.
Though it seems to me that much evidence points to the idea that Earth has been visited multiple times by extraterrestrials, thoughts and theories about extraterrestrial evolution do not depend for their validity on extraterrestrial visitation.
The fourth factor is an open question: Would such life follow a set pattern similar to life on Earth, or would extraterrestrial evolution take an entirely different path or could both ideas be true?
This blog post will deal mostly with this fourth factor, that is, the open question. It has been both rumored and openly stated that NASA and JPL have quashed reports and evidence of life on Mars and other spheres. Most prominently I think of assertions made by Dr. John Brandenburg, formerly of NASA, about advanced life on Mars; and of evidence of certain findings of primitive organisms (crinoids) visually identical to Earth organisms discovered by Dr. Richard Hoover, 46 year veteran NASA astrobiologist and “Inventor of the Year”.
In fact, I wrote a blog post about that a few years ago that can be accessed HERE. This is particularly important to the rest of my thinking on this subject of extraterrestrial evolution.
If the organism found by JPL on Mars is, in actuality, largely identical to those found on Earth, it seems to point to the idea that extraterrestrial life might always or often evolve in the same or similar manner. One frequently discussed concept that follows in this direction is the controversial idea that some extraterrestrials who have purportedly visited the Earth are Reptilians. The theory goes something like this: if the dinosaurs who once inhabited the Earth were not killed off by a comet or large meteor which struck the Gulf of Mexico at end of the Cretaceous Period, would they have perhaps evolved into self conscious bipedal beings who might roam the galaxy? And if so, is it not possible or indeed likely that on other suitable planets in the galaxy or beyond such Reptilians might exist, if in fact, evolution follows a similar model everywhere? In this discussion somewhere, one must consider non-human very intelligent life forms right here on Earth that have not developed with bi-lateral symmetry. I am thinking here of cephalopods like squid. That might derail the similar evolution everywhere theory as the sole way life could evolve.
Fahrusha
On the other hand, is it possible or likely that evolution throughout the cosmos looks nothing like Earthly evolution? I’d say certainly that is possible and in certain circumstances probable. One probable circumstance resulting in a different evolutionary pattern might be an environment where the building blocks of life are not carbon based or not dependent on water or oxygen. Dear Reader, does your definition of “life” depend on breathing or respiration? Furthermore, should it? Perhaps consciousness is a better definition of life than taking breath.
But are these ideas of evolution in the cosmos mutually exclusive? I don’t think so. Ponder this: perhaps life develops in a similar evolutionary pattern where carbon and water are available, and totally differently where they are not. I am not stating conclusively that this is the case, but it certainly provides food, no a feast, for thought? Thanks to Fahrusha https://fahrusha.wordpress.com/…/extraterrestrial-evolution/
Conversation with Senator Barry M. Goldwater
Clark C. McClelland, former ScO, Space Shuttle Fleet, Kennedy Space Center (KSC), writes, “On July 16, 1969, the day of the launch of Apollo 11 for the first landing of men on the moon, I met Senator Barry M. Goldwater of Arizona near the Apollo Launch Control Center. He had been the Republican Presidential candidate in 1964 running against President Johnson. He had flown 160 plus planes during his WW II and civilian years. He even checked-out in a SR-71 Blackbird. I introduced myself and explained my position at KSC and my being the NICAP Unit-3 Director. He was willing to discuss UFOs and I began by saying it was obvious he had a deep abiding interest in UFOs. I knew he had tried to gain entry into a special area at Wright-Patterson AFB that purportedly held alien artifacts. He said, “Yes, that’s the main event concerning me and UFOs. I felt that a US Senator on the Select Committee on Intelligence and a Reserve Major General would allow me to enter the area. I was rudely awakened to reality very swiftly when I was denied entry. My friend, General Curtis Lemay, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff VERY angrily told me that I had no need to know. He gave me a lot of HELL about my activities at Wright-Patterson. He threatened to end our friendship for life! My God, Mac, that surprised the hell out of me.”
General LeMay
LeMay added, “You stay clear of our mutual friend, “Butch”, too. (Meaning General William “Butch” Blanchard) his having been at Roswell Army Air Base and the 509th Bomb Wing, will not gain you any favor or knowledge of that Roswell crash claim.” Goldwater said, “Mac, Butch Blanchard was also a very valued friend of mine since WWII. He was the person who announced that a disc had crashed near Roswell in 1947. This cussing out did awaken me to one fact, that the UFO situation is the highest level of national secrecy, much higher than the H-Bomb. Nothing has higher security than aliens being here on this planet. Then I realized Curtis was correct. And I never again approached him on the subject. That seemed to prove to me that UFOs were a fact, and do exist. But, are they all aliens? I highly suspect a majority are! Hell, they are no doubt far ahead of our level of intelligence. The United States Air Force knows the truth, but will they ever reveal it to this nation?” I quickly said, “Yes, Senator, some UFOs sighted I have learned through the ONI are alien.” His eyes brightened up and showed surprise saying, “Mac how would you know that as a fact and I was denied the truth?”I said “Senator, I was here, at KSC, and had also been at Cape Canaveral since the start of our national space program. With all due respect for your great accomplishments, Sir, you were not. I’ve heard and seen things that without any doubt proved to me that UFO’s and star races exist.” I said, “Congress is not made aware of secrets of this caliber. The Pentagon controls such disclosures”. He stared at me, and then said: “Yes, I get your point.
I asked him if he was at that time aware of the fact that several former German Scientists were assigned to Wright Field since post-reversed engineer certain retrieved hardware that was suspected to be of alien origin.
They accomplished that assignment of the object that crashed in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania. It was taken to Wright Field. Senator Goldwater said, “Yes, I recall that incident. What was it? Do you know?” I replied, “Yes, sir, it was a Soviet failed mission to Venus in 1965. It was not alien, Senator. The public was lead to believe it was a UFO that is far easier to explain than a missile from the USSR hitting within the USA”.
Siegfried Knemeyer with Knights Crossing
Goldwater asked if I was aware of whom the Germans were? I replied, “Yes, one was Siegfried Knemeyer, the former head of the German RLM, the Third Reich’s Air Ministry for aircraft development for the Luftwaffe. Another was Dr. Hans Amtmann, an expert in vertical takeoff aircraft. One other I am familiar is Dr. Alexander Lippisch who was more so well known and a pioneer in tailless aircraft, the US Delta wing fighter, the F-102 A Delta Dagger. I’m almost certain these men also did a reverse engineering on the object that crashed near Roswell, New Mexico”. I could see that what I was telling the Senator may have had his mind in a spin. He said, “Mac, what are you doing here? We need people like you in DC”. The narrative will continue. Thanks to Clark C. McClelland http://www.stargate-chronicles.com/site/
Climate Change?
December 14- 15, 2016 map showing latest Polar Vortex.
Global cooling was a conjecture during the 1970s of the imminent cooling of the Earth’s surface and atmosphere culminating in a period of extensive glaciations. In the 1990’s, climate scientists indicated there is Global Warming and the polar ice was melting and billions have been spent to slow this warming. During the last year the Global Warming developed the new title of Climate Change. Climate change skeptics claim the latest El Nino, which began in 2015, was the reason for that year being the hottest on record, rather than man-made carbon emissions causing long-term global warming.
Science is divided over whether climate change from man-made carbon emissions have heated the planet enough to mean that unnatural global warming also contributed to the record temperatures seen during the El Nino in 2015 and the first half of this year. Dr Gavin Schmidt, head of Naas’s climate division, says human-caused global warming is the primary factor.
Other scientists feel there is climate change, but the temperatures are heading down. They point to this week’s coldest temperatures in twenty years. The news media tells you what they want you to believe. It’s important to look at both sides of the argument.
Dark Winter
Mr. John L. Casey, Director of the Space and Science Research Center, issued a landmark declaration on climate change. “Climate change has been a perplexing problem for years. In Dark Winter, author John L. Casey, a former White House national space policy advisor, NASA headquarters consultant, and space shuttle engineer tells the truth about ominous changes taking place in the climate and the Sun. Casey believes Global Warming Has Ended. After an exhaustive review of a substantial body of climate research, and in conjunction with the obvious and compelling new evidence that exists, it is time that the world community acknowledges that the Earth has begun its next climate change. In an opinion echoed by many scientists around the world, the world’s climate warming of the past decades has now come to an end. A new climate era has already started that is bringing predominantly colder global temperatures for many years into the future. In some years this new climate will create dangerously cold weather with significant ill-effects worldwide.
Casey claims the cold era is coming about as a result of the reversal of the 206 year cycle of the sun which he independently discovered several years ago. We now have unmistakable signs of a decline in global temperatures and growing glacial ice, coupled with the dramatic if not startling changes in the sun’s surface including unusually low and slow sunspot activity. . Noted Russian astrophysicist Habibullo I. Abdussamatov has also argued that a new mini-ice age has begun,
Casey claims. “Our world is rapidly cooling. Even though we still may have isolated warm temperature records, the global trend to a colder era is now irreversible.” Casey congratulated the many other scientists around the world who had done “many years of outstanding research” which he used to corroborate his own research after he first found these climate-driving solar cycles. He listed and praised more than a dozen other scientists, most in foreign countries, who had come to the same prediction on the Earth’s climate shift to a cold era. He said, “I have consulted with colleague’s world wide who have reached a similar conclusion.
Casey detailed the solar activity cycles that have been driving the Earth’s climate for the past 1,200 years. He condemned the climate change confusion and alarmism which has accompanied seven separate periods over the past 100 years, where scientists and the media flip-flopped on reporting that the Earth was either entering a new ‘ice age’ or headed for a global meltdown where melting glacial ice would swamp the planet’s coastal cities. The sun is entering an extended “quiet period’ produced by reduced solar activity as shown in the chart.
“With the sun going into what I call “solar hibernation,” the earth will cool. And the harmful effects of solar radiation on astronauts in space will be minimized.” I can see,” he added, “just like the last time this 206 year cycle brought cold, that there will be substantial damage to the world’s agricultural systems. Climate during the Ice Age (the last 4 million years) has been particularly unstable, with many swings of more than 10°F.
The most important lessons drawn from geology are that the earth’s climate can change radically and that the pace of change can be rapid. Geology also supports the theory that past periods of especially warm temperature were caused by high atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. Of the many effects of global warming, geology is currently most relevant to sea level rise caused by melting glaciers.
“In fact, a very slight cooling trend appears.” Watts’ plotting of U.S. Surface Climate Observing Reference Networks (USCRN) data comes after NOAA researchers put out a study claiming there’s been no “hiatus” in global warming–despite a 15-year period with no significant rise in the world’s average temperature as of June 15, 2015. Judah Cohen, a renowned MIT climatologist, has been working on his theory for 17 years, despite skepticism from some U.S. government weather experts. Cohen, who figures the exceptional amount of snow cover this year in Siberia at this time, will bring the makings of be one an early, cold winter. His theory has been right 75 percent of the time.
NOAA reports, the combined average temperature over global land and ocean surfaces for September 2016 was the second highest for September in the 137-year record, 0.04°C (0.07°F) cooler than the record warmth of 2015. It now appears December may be one of the coldest on record.
As I write these files it is snowing earlier than I can remember in southern New Jersey. Although the summer months are warmer the winter has extreme cold temperatures. The Polar Vortex or winds around the pole have moved south and are causing colder weather in Europe, Asia, and North America affecting millions of people. Expect more snow and cold temperatures mush later in February and March particularly in Europe.
Did you know that in the past the Roman Period and Medieval Period were both warmer than today. The world then cooled several degrees from 1450 to 1850. This period was called the Little Ice Age (a period of glacial advance, the same glaciers that have been in retreat until recently). Global temperatures the past 10,000 years were also often warmer than today. These temperature variations were not caused by man. They were caused entirely by natural forces. Climatologists disagree and the news media has usual is agreeing with the Global Warming group, but expect a cold winter.
UFO Sightings in the United States
California Object
Porter Ranch — I must first apologize that while I always used to preach I’d have a steady hand if I ever saw something, I kept losing this thing on my camera and tried to refocus. But, I did get some good shots at the beginning and the end. This video was taken by me on November 28, 2016 around 4 pm. I pulled up home from work and noticed three planes at one time releasing chemtrails in all directions… I got out of my car after taking footage of one of the planes and noticed this glowing white orb or craft that was flying in and out of the trails. The beginning of the video and the end has the best focused shot but my camera just wouldn’t zoom anymore. After I lost it in the trails I waited expecting to see it come out the other side and it never appeared again. I mean planes don’t do that, right? Thanks to MUFON CMS
Los Angeles — Was watching the news when I saw something weird fly by on December 12, 2016.
I kept watching and can’t figure out what it is.
It was the abc News at 4:30 am. I have it on my DVR also.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Lights
West Palm Beach— I was drinking coffee on the balcony of my resort at 6:30 am on April 20, 2016. I was looking through photos of our trips when I discovered two objects in one of the photos and then just one object in the next photo. I believed the objects to be UFOs, which I took that morning. After seeing the objects in my photos, I had chills all over me and could not believe I actually had captured them in two photos. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Idaho Disc
Pocatello— I am a UFO photographer, and have taken pictures of everything from discs to triangles to ET. I have been totally fascinated with the amount of activity in the skies here, that I call Micro Machines. I can prove all of it; since I’ve been photographing them pretty steady for more than 5 years; I will leave a couple pictures in this letter for you. I have been doing my best to get the word out about these objects with not much luck. It seems that most people are asleep at the switch. During the day I get pictures of many different types of craft, but at night I get a totally different experience. I photograph and video these white light spheres that move over town very slowly, from a thousand feet up to 10 miles.
I call them Micro Machines because they are not organic; they are some kind of an Artificial Intelligence (Ai) probe. George Adamski back in the 1950’s, that our skies were flooded with these probes that ranged in size from a few centimeters to a few meters, I have photographed them all. I set up a tripod with my camera set to high speed continuous shutter and I would rip off about 20 frames at a time in different directions. I would notice these little objects moving through the frames at a pretty high rate of speed, on the computer. I was able to establish areas where they would be more often than not. Soon I would get better cameras and lenses. I am going out 5 and 6 times a day and catching these objects. When I photograph a bird of prey flying over fields there will be dozens of these objects flying all around the birds monitoring the wild life. I am using a Nikon D800 w/ 50mm f1.4 lens and at night I put on a 300 mm lens.
I call them Ai because I am positive they are not manmade. These little craft can cover 150 yards in one second and are watching everything that is going on. Winter months bring on orbs Thanks to MUFON CMS
Illinois Triangle of Lights
Chicago Heights — My girlfriend and I were picking her kid up in Frankfort, IL, and started heading north on Laraway Road on December 13, 2016. It was a full moon and when we observed five orange lights near each other in the east. We thought to ourselves those “planes” are really close to each other, but planes don’t fly that close to each other. On our way home we couldn’t stop gazing upon the lights. Then one light flew north and another to the south. Then there were three left that we thought might be Chinese lanterns but they were moving against the wind. We hit Route 30 and headed east traveling toward the lights and ended up 10 miles past Chicago Heights. The lights formed a triangle keeping perfect distance from each other moving slowly. We turned around and heading west and could still see the three lights again until the lights slowly disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Maryland Disc
Baltimore — I discovered the object in two pictures I took on August 20, 2015 at 03:41 pm, according to the data on my phone. In the first photo the picture is tiny – barely noticeable – and flying to the south.
In the second picture the same object is visible much lower and larger, looking pretty much due east. (Shown)
Whatever it is it moved a great distance within one minute. I was reviewing the old pictures on December 14, 2016 and noticed the object.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Massachusetts Light
Chelsea – I was outside my house looking towards sky at a star on August 1, 2016.
It was moving unlike any plane or helicopter. It was fast then it was going slow. I felt like it wasn’t real.
Then it suddenly disappeared.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Michigan Object
I took pictures at the beach and found a UFO while perusing our photos on August 23, 2016.
I can’t tell what it was; I’ve never seen an object like it. I didn’t even see anything while we were at the beach, only later. Looks like a metallic object that I don’t think could be a camera glitch. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Editor’s Note: This is likely a bird in flight but wings are unusually short.
New Jersey UFO
Marlton— I was smoking a cigarette in a location off of Route. 70, on December 10, 2016 when I heard what sounded like a military helicopter in the distance. I moved to get a clear view of the sky because I wanted to see it. It sounded extremely close and I could feel the power, and vibrations. So finally it comes into view and it was hard to make out. There was a red orb in the front, with the chopper in the back. At first I thought it may be top secret military craft with cloaking or reflection or something of the sort. It was hard to make out in the night sky it being a black helicopter and all. When I focused in on it, I could make out a red/oranges orb shape which looked like it was glowing, producing and aura, and the helicopter 400 feet behind it. It was hard to make out and get a grasp with surroundings because it all happened so fast. They were both flying in a straight path at high speed.
I had to run around the corner to keep eye sight until it went over the tree line out of sight. My father came out because he heard the chopper and came to check it out and grab something out of the car. When he tried to lock it, he hit the lock button three times but the car was still unlocked, so it may have messed with the electrical system. Also take note Fort Dix and McGuire AFB are nearby. Ten years ago and last summer I saw a UFO. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New York Lights
Brooklyn — This was taken from a bus that was moving very slowly during a tour on December 5, 2016. I used my iPhone when I took the photos. I only took a photo of this because I knew what the building was, but was not mentioned by the tour guide so there would probably not be others taking photos.
I saw the light after the fact when I was looking at my photos. If anyone has the knowledge to judge if this is a reflection, I would welcome that.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Oklahoma Light
Edmond — On November 21, 2015
Looked up
Weird looking object. 4. It was Round and I had unknown feelings.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Vermont Objects
South Burlington— While smoking a cigarette at work around 6 am I took picture of the Moon on December 14, 2016.
There were no stars out nor did I see a plane, but it was a little cloudy. I did not see anything unusual at all until I looked at the photo and realized instantly something was there. I kept looking at the sky and could not see it.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Washington Light
Stevens Pass— After a day of skiing on December 12, 2016, I was staying the night at the ski resort with some friends. Around 7:00 p.m, I tried my best to get a picture with my phone that captured the whole scene. After snapping a couple photos, I first noticed the object in the screen of my phone. The object first appeared as a blotch of white light in the screen of my phone. It seemed like a morphing light ball with a bright core surrounded by a duller light and was very fluid yet erratic in its movements. I would say the core was the size of a large grapefruit and the outer layer the size of a beach ball. It was like a luminescent aerial jellyfish. The object first appeared in the sky around the trees and moved toward us. It came as close as the clock tower and could I only see the outer dull light, but the inner bright sphere was still visible in the screen of my phone. With my bare eyes the object was not very noticeable. It was glowing even brighter than what was captured by the camera. At one point most of my screen went white and I stood up and focused on the object as it shot off to the trees behind the lodge, paused for two seconds and then shot off over Big Chief Mountain at impossible speed and was gone. Likely unrelated, we did see multiple F/A-18 or F15s jets flying at low altitude over the resort the following morning. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Australia Cylinder
Sydney — On October 11, 2016, I was outdoors working in the yard, when I became aware of an object in the sky which was at great height, it was also star bright against the blue of a perfectly clear midday. At first I was inclined to dismiss the anomaly as a plastic bag or balloon, as it seemed to be floating with airy swoops. I could see that it was cylindrical and was moving against the wind from east to west. A number of strange things happened during my observation as all the birds fell silent; just as they do in the presence of a predator. The other interesting thing was that the anomaly seemed to respond directly to my thoughts (I know that this is a preposterous suggestion and that its subsequent change of direction was purely coincidence) – but twice it seemed to react to my thoughts. the first time I thought “come this way you bugger, so that I can get a better look at you!” and to my surprise, it changed its direction from heading west and then arced toward me in the north east, again traveling end over end (almost like a boomerang) and then when it was directly overhead, I thought “stop…So that I can see you better.” and to my surprise, it did. Still it was very high and it appeared to be being mobbed by white birds, small white dots were swooping in toward and then away from it. Despite the wind, it remained stationary. It then tumbled away leaf like toward the east and was soon lost from sight. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Canada Cylinder
Abbotsford, British Columbia, — I have here a couple of photos taken December 6, 2016 of two objects in the southeast sky. They were heading east over Mount Baker in Washington State at 7:50 AM. I took these photos on the Canadian side of the border. When I saw them I thought they were American Bombers coming from Alaska, but I realized they were heading the wrong way or on a different heading that they normally fly back to Idaho or North Dakota. This is a daily occurrence so I am well versed in their flight path. The other thing that struck me was that there was no visible vapor trail which every jet trails at high altitude. As a comparison I am including two photos that I took this morning same place, same time, and same direction of travel. The other difference is the plane was visible for minutes as it flew away from me, but the two objects yesterday were gone right after I took the photo.
Note: The witness presented an argument that the object photographed was not a conventional military craft as he is used to seeing them on a regular basis. He mentions that the object did not leave a vapor trail. Enhancement does show a trail behind the object. However, the witness stated that the object disappeared. Given this scenario the jet explanation is more doubtful. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com
Colombia Diamond
Bucaramanga— I was around the pool of my hotel taking sun on December 11, 2016, a sunny, clear day when I saw something in the sky. My friend who was beside me saw it too. Our first impression was a paraglider but my friend said, “It can’t be because it was very high and the shape does not look like that. It was moving slow and looks like it’s hovering over the city. I took my camera and focused on the object. It was heading north and was moving fast. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Germany Round Object
Dresden — I have a 1680 book of the history of Dresden, Germany. There is a description of three objects that appeared in the sky in 1620. There was an apparent exchange of light rays and smoke and noise between the larger round object and the two smaller round ones on either side. The population who witnessed this was quite frightened. The objects remained for many hours and then disappeared. I can send you a copy of this page and my translation of the German article, if you like. Bernd Klopfer the date of the event above is invalid but you required a date and I couldn’t enter the correct date. Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS

Mashhad — As shown in the attached image, an unknown white light, which was like a very large star, was visible in the mountains of Mashhad between 17:30 to 18:25 on December 13, 2016.
I watched it for fifty five minutes last night, and then it disappeared.

Mazatlan — I was working on a bricked outdoor structure with mud making bricks. It was 3 or 4 in the morning when a co-worker told me, “Look José I see a trail of light passing over the hill illuminating like day.” What really shone was the golden color smoke left in its wake. When it crashed there was a solid metal thud like a giant hammer hitting a giant nail. I viewed a big flash and heard the sound. It all happened in about 10 seconds on February 22, 1997, at a distance of 7 km or so from where I was working. I saw something like a flash with my own eyes. The years passed and technology reached us and I checked Google Earth and I could not believe it was UFO that crashed and next year celebrates 20 years. Thanks to MUFON CMS

I was in my house going upstairs to my room to dress on December 8, 2016 and looked out my l large window and saw an object above our bank and it stayed there motionless. Then I realized it was slowly moving to the right and then slowly to the left. I was about to get my binoculars when it moved straight to the right until I couldn’t see it anymore.
I was shocked and baffled because I’m sure as hell it’s the same one I’ve seen many months ago but it’s movement was different, before it moved fast like a drunk person in all types of directions then vanished but this time was different and I actually have video tape proof of it this time, I was pretty scared of what they are capable of since they can see and hear me from where they are
I called my mom who also a witness was bringing the binoculars. Then it started moving all the way to the right which spooked me out. I lost sight of it but I’m also more paranoid now. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Moon — I was trying out my new camera, and love astronomy, so took a few pictures of the moon. Later, after looking at the pictures, I see two strange lights below the moon.
I don’t know what to make of them, but they look out-of-place. I was in my back garden in the UK, and it was dark here. The lights are small, so I could not make out any detail. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Glasgow — I was out playing with my kids on a nice summer evening. My daughter noticed a strange rainbow, it was not curved like a usual rainbow instead it was a blob of couloirs in the sky on August 18, 2016. I took a picture and then noticed there was an object in the picture, an orb with 4 lights. I then pointed my phone at the object I could now see in the sky. I zoomed in and took another picture and noticed the lights had changed. I thought the object looked quite strange it seemed to emit a yellowish glow. I watched for another few minutes until it faded from sight travelling in a North Easterly direction. This was at 7:46 pm. It lasted for perhaps 20 minutes. Please zoom in on the photo for a clearer picture. Thanks to MUFON CMS

MYSTERY: It is still not known what happened at Roswell in New Mexico
The infamous event will reach its 70th anniversary in 2017 and Nick Pope, who investigated UFO phenomena for the UK MoD until 2009, says he believes the truth is out there.
Roswell Daily Record newspaper reported in 1947 that an alien spacecraft crashed in the New Mexico desert.
A press release was sent out by the military that it had found the remains of a crashed flying saucer but the next day it backtracked.

DEBRIS: A US Major with the remains of what conspiracy theorists believe is an alien spaceship
It was instead claimed to be a damaged US Air Force air balloon and many believe this was a cover-up.
People reported seeing alien bodies within the UFO which were taken away by authorities.
This comes as a witness to "Britain's Roswell" spoke out after nearly 40 years.
“As every citizen of Roswell knows, the city is at the centre of one of the greatest mysteries of all time”
Nick Pope
Mr Pope said on his blog: "As every citizen of Roswell knows, the city is at the centre of one of the greatest mysteries of all time.
"In 1947, something crashed in the New Mexico desert and was taken to Roswell Army Air Field — now the Roswell International Air Center."
He added: "As we approach the 70th anniversary of this much-debated incident, the Roswell Daily Record is launching a campaign to resolve the mystery for once and for all.
"While people argue to this day about what happened at Roswell in the summer of 1947, nobody disputes that something crashed.
“That’s because far from denying this, the military authorities actually helped get the story out — at least at first."
GETTY
CRASH SITE: This is where the mysterious crash took place in New Mexico
Many believe the mystery will never be solved but Pope is determined.
He added: "70 years on, is there any hope of solving the mystery?
"I think there is. I used to investigate UFOs for the British government, which was just one of a number of fascinating postings I had in a 21-year career at the UK’s Ministry of Defence."
Pope said: "In my experience, the key to solving a mystery like this lies in the community in which these events unfolded.
"That’s why I’ve teamed up with the Roswell Daily Record to launch an appeal. Because nobody denies there was a crash, we know that there was wreckage.
"And because no clean-up operation can ever be perfect, and because people like souvenirs, we believe there could still be pieces of this wreckage somewhere out there in the local community."

UFOs in the Finger Lakes Region
UFOs in the Finger Lakes Region
For years around campfires and over holiday meals, I’ve heard tales of UFOs in New York’s Finger Lakes.
I’ve heard stories of bright objects descending from the skies and entering the waters of one lake or another. I’ve also heard accounts of bright objects exiting the waters of a lake and flying off into the wild blue yonder. I’ve even read a few tales attributed to Native American lore of bright objects leaving our lovely Finger Lakes for the heavens.
Unfortunately too many of the accounts are secondhand or so are old they qualify as legend. This makes investigation and research very difficult. Using statistics from my U.S. UFO magnitude study, I’ve compiled a chart of the counties that surround the core of New York’s Finger Lakes region. The idea was to see how the Finger Lakes region compared to the well-known Erie Lake region in terms of UFO sighting reports.
The Finger Lakes counties total 14 and are as follows: Cayuga, Cortland, Monroe, Ontario, Tioga, Wayne, Chemung, Livingston, Onondaga, Steuben, Schuyler, and Yates.
Using data from my study, I compiled the chart above. The UFO sightings were reported in a period from 2001 through 2015. During the sample window, New York state logged 5,141 UFO sighting reports. The 14 counties that make up the Finger Lakes region logged 684 UFO sighting reports. As shown on the chart, the sightings tend to follow a seasonal reporting pattern.
Erie and Niagara counties, which log the lion’s share of the Erie Lake effect sighting cluster, only logged 447 UFO sighting reports for the same sample period.
At first glance, most of the Finger Lakes region counties have relatively low sighting reports. The exception is Monroe County, which reports 236 sighting reports for the sample period.
As a UFO researcher, I was rather surprised by the magnitude of the Finger Lakes numbers. Taken as a whole, New York’s Finger Lakes region hosts 13 percent of the states total UFO sightings. That is the largest concentration in the state, second only to Long Island.
Taking a cue from the famous ‘Death Star’ in the ‘Star Wars’ film saga, HIP68468 is theorized to have destroyed planets that veered into its path due to an orbit much closer than Earth is to the our own sun. Unlike the ‘Death Star’ though, the planets were engulfed by it and became part of its composition.
“It doesn’t mean that the sun will ‘eat’ the Earth any time soon,” said the report’s co-author, Jacob Bean, assistant professor of astronomy and astrophysics at University of Chicago, explaining how the planet contains “four times more lithium than would be expected for a star that is 6-billion-years old.”
“Our discovery provides an indication that violent histories may be common for planetary systems, including our own,” Bean says.
Located 300 light years away, HIP68468 was first discovered in 1995 but it’s only now that its appetite for planets as well as its first exoplanets are coming to light through observations from the La Silla Observatory in Chile last year.
A super Neptune and a super Earth are believed to orbiting the star, although researchers say this “needs to be confirmed.”
It’s thought the super Earth is orbiting so close to HIP68468 that one full orbit takes three days.
On December 18, 2016 a strange phenomenon is being detected by earth ground sensors around the planet emanating from the lithosphere. A perpetual energy source that is not consistent with earthquake energy.
Image: Strange Red Pulse captured by cameras on the International Space Station on December 14, 2016. See below video.
It is suggested that the scalar template is changing the time density the “signal” that causes conflict on Earth is being interceded, the Earth grid must change to induct a different code.
They call this existing grid a “NET” that inducts the “alien signal” from the modified Berkland currents that transfer interdimensional gluon plasma in a cyclic form that repeats history at a causal level of human society, human consciousness and perception is interwoven into the etheric currents that are carried on the coarser plasma and electromagnetic Tell-uric currents.
Considering that planet’s atmosphere can have significant changes depending on what happens in our galaxy, there could be any possibility this changes on earth be linked with some energy activity of a meteor or other strange object near the orbit/area.
Although it is suggested that the strange vibrations or frequencies on earth are linked to some energy activity of an unknown orbital object, we also cannot rule out that the strange registered activities are coming from a Haarp-like system or other kind of weather warfare technology to create earthquakes.
If that were the cause we may wonder whether the globalists are behind the recent incidents. They are planning to create a devastating earthquake with the ultimate goal to keep Obama in Office who automatically will declare Martial Law, just to subvert the exchange of power in Washington?
Another reason of concern; Yellowstone’s ground sensor went off line at about the same time when other ground sensors detected the strange signal.
I don’t know if they censoring information about Yellowstone, but there was a small earthquake or some kind of vibration which is captured by Cat Martin showing the trees move during the quake/vibration. (See here Cat’s video).
Whether it is an unknown space object or the globalists are the culprit behind the strange events it’s clear that something is going on.
Shape: V shape Size: Large Objects:1 Colour: Black with Dim orange lights Sound:None Duration: 3 to 4 minutes Direction: Suddenly disappeared
Sunday night , after falling asleep in his chair, Peter woke up and went Outside to feed his dogs. As it was such a nice night he decided to relax for a while and do a bit of stargazing, which he very often does late at night. After approximately half an hour, he looked up and noticed a large, solid black V shaped object with dim orange lights which were situated along the front end of the object. Peter said it was a very clear night and he first noticed the object because it was blocking out the Big Dipper constellation he had been looking at previously.
There was no sound emitted from the object at all and Peter estimates that it must have been at least 5 times bigger than a Jumbo Jet. He sighted the object for only 3-4 seconds when Peter says it just disappeared from view.
Witnesses went mystified after seeing a mysterious fireball UFO falling to Earth. The unusual thing was observed dropping from the sky above Newtown, Toowoomba in Queensland, Australia. The fireball even seen moving sharply to the right and then left as it was falling.
Newtown resident Rod Bishop captured the event on video.
The witness claimed that he spent 18 years in the army barracks and is an amateur astronomer, so he knows very well about aircraft. The mysterious thing he just captured on video made his jaw drop, according to the witness.
Some viewers of the video are wondering why alien spacecraft went to Toowoomba.
However, astronomer professor Jonti Horner believes the light is not a meteor or fireball because it looks too slow to be one. For him, it is also too slow to be a bit of space junk returning to Earth and burning up in the atmosphere.
Horner thinks it is the International Space Station. He explains that the ISS is brighter than the brightest stars and moves quite slow, making them quite spectacular.
Though it ‘s hard to tell the identity of the strange thing in the blurry video, Jonti stresses that’s the most likely explanation to him as an astronomer professor.
Shape: Star Trek like spaceship Duration: 15 seconds Direction:West to East over to where Yatala Gaol on a level path Witnesses: 4
Nick, saw the UFO, with 3 other men. Nick was sitting outside with 3 of his mates, when all of a sudden a bright light appeared out of nowhere in the sky.
First off, Nick thought it might be the Police helicopter, and that it had turned on its search light. But, what seemed strange to Nick and made him change his mind, is that as the object got closer he could make out that it was quite large, and coloured a blue colour, not white, like the search light would be.
When she asked Nick how big he thought the object looked to him, he said it was long and quite large. He said, he felt it looked like a ship and reminded him of a Star Trek like spaceship. ”It just appeared from behind a tree !!… I sat there with my mates and we watched it travel levelly for about 15 seconds. I live near the Northfield Velladrome and it moved from West to East over to where Yatala Gaol is. The funny thing was, it all of a sudden spurted a bright coloured tail…the same sort of colour that you get with a gas flame, that colour blue. It seem to spit out the flame, which then made it move…then it again stopped…spitted once, then twice, the flame came spinning out of its end and started to move off again, then to our surprise, as we watched it just disappeared.”
Charmaine spoke to Nick about how it had been said in the media that a Meteorite was reported in the night sky at the same time. “NO, NO, I know what a meteorite looks like, I’ve been interested in the night sky for some years now, since I was a young kid. My parents owned a shack down at Willunga and I know I have seen some strange things in the sky down there, in fact I would say some UFO’s. I own a telescope, (which he has had for approx. 12 weeks) and have read up on things in the night sky, so I truly believe that it was NOT a meteorite, but something else. How could a meteorite just disappeared into thin air? I should have been able to follow its path through the sky”
Nick and his mates sighting lasted for approx. 15 seconds and during that time, Nick stated the object travelled on a level path. Nick is happy to be contacted again, if any further info is required.
An in-depth analysis shows a heightened level of meteor threats for the first quarter of 2017.
In this 33 minute program, you will learn that December 21, 2012, was not a non-event as the media would have us believe. Rather, we were misled to expect a catastrophic event.
In this video, you will learn a basic lexicon of terms that will help you sort through the many news reports and videos on the Internet today about meteors, asteroids, it’s, and so forth.
Then you will see an analysis of hard data going back to 2009 and the statistical trends that clearly point to a heightened danger in the first quarter of 2017.
Should the earth suddenly be struck by an asteroid, we’d basically all be completely and totally screwed, said NASA researcher Dr. Joseph Nuth, speaking at the annual meeting of the American Geophysicists Union, reports the dailymail.
The earth is totally unprepared for an asteroid hit and the biggest problem is there’s not a hell of a lot we can do about it at the moment, Nuth said at the meeting.
Also in this video you will learn how to protect yourself and your loved ones if you happen to be in the proximity of a superbolide event.
Finally, what the Mayans intended was that a future generation would perceive this day as a harbinger of a future catastrophic event and this is what the empirical data shows.
NEW INFORMATION ABOUT THE RENDLESHAM FOREST INCIDENT
DECEMBER 23, 1980 ………… RENDLESHAM FOREST ENGLAND
I was sitting on the back porch of the Black’s Farm. It was dark and cold. I was cleaning rabbits on the back porch that my father had shot. I was finishing up with the rabbit when a white ball of light coming from the south of the house moved north to the back field behind the house. It as completely silent. I watched it with awe, not quite believing what I was seeing. It hovered over the far field and looked to be about the size of a Mini Cooper. It cast a glow on the wet mud in the field and then seemed to land in the field. It was simply beautiful. It looked like it was pulsing. I eventually snapped out of it. I went to get my dad. I was very excited. When we came back out, it was gone.
Like it had blinked out of existence. My father did not think I saw what I knew I had seen. He told me it was probably a helicopter and not a big deal. I knew what I had seen.
The next day I walked out to where I thought it landed. I went back to my house got my dad and told him he needed to come out and see what I found. We got out there and there were three circular impressions there on the ground equally spaced out and my original set of footprints going to and from the site, very muddy and then our prints going back to the site where the orb had landed. My father was surprised enough that he called the base and reported what he had found and I had seen. No one ever came to my knowledge to check the site.
Then a couple of days later the famous Rendlesham Forest event occurred at RAF Bentwaters Woodbridge.”
An unknown light source zips out from around the corner (planet), stands upright and outlines/highlights a specific region, then, it stops self illuminating.
The last 5 nights I (Mrmbb33) have seen several explainable meteors and fireballs over the Florida skies but this light captured by the All Skycam on December 12, 2016 however is a bit weird.
The object seems to be its own light source and it appears to be beaming upwards versus a light source beaming down.
The big question is where does this luminous object come from?

SAN FRANCISCO — Life has left its mark just about everywhere on this verdant planet.
Earth's environment not only shapes those life-forms that evolve, but the planet actually evolves and changes in response to those organisms. So if life is lurking on Mars, researchers need to look for evidence of life modifying Red Planet habitats, Nathalie Cabrol said here on Dec. 14 at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union's Carl Sagan Lecture.
"It's only recently we understood not only that the environment changes, but [also] life has an impact on how the environment can change," said Cabrol, who is a senior research scientist and director of the Carl Sagan Center at the SETI Institute in California, and who gave the lecture.
However, looking for evidence of changes caused by life-forms won't be easy, Cabrol said. Any exploration on Mars needs to look at the right scale to find evidence of life modifying its habitat, she said. [7 Most Mars-Like Places on Earth]
Habitability versus habitat
Recent voyages to Mars have yielded fairly conclusive evidence that the Red Planet harbors theoretically habitable areas, such as the Gusev and Gale craters. For instance, chemical exploration has revealed that at different points in Martian history, the planet had an abundance of the building blocks of life, such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, hydrochloric acid and methane, Cabrol said. River deltas and ancient tsunami deposits reveal that Mars had a water column and even, briefly, a primeval ocean. Rock weathering and hydrothermal geological activity may have provided the necessary chemical energy for life, she said.
But simply being habitable is very different from actually having a habitat, she said.
"Our planet is bio-obvious," Cabrol said. When looking from space signatures of life everywhere are visible everywhere, Cabrol said. "There is a strong message from our planet: 'I am alive.'"
By contrast, Mars is also sending a strong message that life has not made a large impression on the Red Planet, she said.
Brief window of opportunity
Evidence suggests that the Martian atmosphere was declining as early as 4.1 billion years ago, and any surface water likely dried up long ago. With a thin atmosphere, bombardment by deadly cosmic radiation and likely no modern flowing water, any life that emerged on Mars likely did so very early on in the planet's history, during a time known as the Noachian period (from 4.1 billion to 3.7 billion years ago), Cabrol said. If that life is still hanging on, it likely went deep underground, where it is protected from Mars' current harsh environment, she said. [Boron Found On Mars For First Time By Curiosity Rover | Video]
"The window of time was very small," Cabrol said.
To understand what kind of Martian life-forms to look for, researchers need to understand the best Earth-based analog to the Martian Noachian period. This is Earth's Archean eon, between 4 billion and 2 billion years ago. During that period, all life on Earth consisted of primitive, single-celled creatures that lacked nuclei.
At that time, microbial mats of cyanobacteria living in shallow pools of water trapped grains of sediment to build up a kind of rock housing. Huge expanses of bulbous rock structures billions of years old have been found on Earth. Other primitive forms of life burrowed around in hydrothermal vents, creating signature cone-shaped structures, Cabrol said.
Earth analogs
Another way to determine what to look for is to find the most Martian-like places on Earth. The hyper-arid, high-altitude Atacama Desert, which, gets just 0.6 inches (15 millimeters) of rainfall a year but used to be much wetter, is exposed to punishing ultraviolet radiation and has active geothermal features such as hot springs.
"If you want to find the microbe, you have to become the microbe. Very early on, you need to shelter — you need to adapt and you need to survive," Cabrol said. Microbes would also have to "organize around oases and organize a lot faster."
These Martian oases could be similar, in some ways, to the evaporating lakes, salt flats and hot springs of the Atacama, Cabron said.
Ancient creatures in these Martian environments would likely be extremophiles or superbugs that are highly adaptive, and are possibly very quick to form symbiotic communities, Cabrol said.
While structures that could provide microbial habitats might be found on Mars, researchers will have to know where to look in the first place, Cabrol said. They won't get many opportunities to sample in many places, she said. Finding the tools with the resolution to identify those habitats will also be challenging, Cabrol added.
However, drones that can fly up and down to image the area at different scales could reveal some of the fine detail that provides clues for ancient life, she said.
And some tools already heading out on the Mars 2020 mission could reveal evidence of potential habitats. For instance, Cabrol showed images of Gusev Crater. Pictures of that feature initially lacked the resolution to reveal any evidence of habitat. But after looking at the light spectra reflected, "The spectra are telling us this is something that could be related to hydrothermal activity and constructs," Cabrol said. "There's only one way of knowing — it's to go back."

IN BRIEF
Erik Verlinde's emergent gravity theory makes sense of the behavior of gravity without the need for the existence of a dark matter particle.
Researchers from the Leiden Observatory have studied more than 33,000 galaxies to see if Verlinde’s theory checks out.
EMERGENT GRAVITY
In 2010, renowned string theory expert Erik Verlinde from the University of Amsterdam and the Delta Institute for Theoretical Physics proposed that gravity is not a fundamental force of nature, but rather an “emergent phenomenon.” And now, one hundred years after Einstein published the final version of his general theory of relativity, Verlinde published his paper expounding on his stance on gravity—with a big claim that challenges the very foundation of physics as we know it.
Verlinde’s emergent gravity theory makes one very important implication: dark matter does not exist. His research makes sense of the behavior of gravity without the need for the existence of a dark matter particle.
Researchers from the Leiden Observatory have studied more than 33,000 galaxies to see if Verlinde’s theory checks out—and the results show that it is, in fact, more accurate at confirming the universe’s gravity distribution than Einstein’s theory of relativity.
Watch the video below to know more about Verlinde’s alternate explanation to gravity.
“A TOTALLY DIFFERENT STARTING POINT”
Throughout the years, physicists have been in search of dark matter, which would explain the discrepancies between general relativity and the gravitational lensing observed in light space. While gravity is responsible for this bending of light, the problem is that the bending is not consistent with the amount of matter present, suggesting the presence of invisible particles to account for the additional gravitational force.
A lot of effort, equipment, and funds have been dedicated to the quest for dark matter. If proven right, Verlinde would be putting an end to a four-century long search for the hypothetical particle, and what we know of our universe will drastically change.
Verlinde’s calculations were only applicable to isolated, spherical, and static systems, which means that dark matter is not completely debunked. As with any theory, Verlinde’s emergent gravity theory will undergo modifications as more physicists weigh in on the matter over the next years. Verlinde is optimistic about its progression: “Many theoretical physicists like me are working on a revision of the theory, and some major advancements have been made.”
“We might be standing on the brink of a new scientific revolution that will radically change our views on the very nature of space, time and gravity,” he added.

BY LAURANCE R. DOYLEILLUSTRATIONS BY TIANHUA MAO
If one is looking for signals from an extraterrestrial civilization, why not practice on some of the non-human communication systems already known on our own planet? Whales have had a global communication system for millions of years—longer than Homo sapiens has even existed. Bees, which communicate in part by dancing, had democratic debates about the best places to swarm millions of years before humans came up with democracy as a political system. And other examples abound. No person I know of who has studied another animal’s communication system has ever concluded that the species was dumber than they’d previously thought.
Through the study of animal communication, my colleagues and I have developed a new kind of detector, a “communication intelligence” filter, to determine whether a signal from space is from a technologically advanced civilization or not. Most previous SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) efforts have looked for radio transmissions with a narrow band of frequencies or for optical signals that blink very rapidly. From what we know about astrophysics, such transmissions would be clearly artificial, and their discovery would indicate technology capable of transmitting a signal over interstellar distances. SETI efforts generally throw away wideband radio signals and slower optical pulses, whose provenance is less obvious. Although those signals might well be from intelligent beings, they might also originate in natural sources of radio waves, such as interstellar gas clouds, and we have lacked a good way to tell the difference.
SYNTACTIC CETACEAN: Humpback whale communication rivals human language in complexity, revealing general principles of communication that aliens, too, should follow.Wikipedia
Put simply, we may well have received a message from intelligent beings and neglected it because it didn’t conform to our expectations for what a signal should look like. And this might be why we have yet to detect any interstellar communications in 50 years of searching.
Over the past decade and a half, my colleagues and I have sought a better way. We have been applying information theory to human and animal communication systems, and we can now tell that particular species could be communicating complex ideas even though we don’t know what they are saying. (We use the term “communication system” in order not to prejudge whether other species have language in the human sense.) Complex communication follows general syntax-like rules that reveal what might be called intelligence content. If we have a large enough sample of the message, we can quantify its degree of complexity or rule structure. In the mathematics of information theory, this structure is called the “conditional information entropy” and is made up of mathematical relations among the elementary units of communication, such as letters and phonemes. In everyday speech, we recognize this structure as grammar and, at an even more basic level, as the packaging of sounds into words and sentences. For the first time, we at the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California, have begun to look for this structure in SETI data.
My colleagues Brenda McCowan and Sean F. Hanser at the University of California at Davis and I decided to study species that were both socially complex and highly dependent on acoustic communication, using sound signals that we could readily classify. Thus, our first three subject species were bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus), squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus), and humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae).
One aspect of human linguistics that emerged from early statistical studies of letters, words, and phonemes is known as Zipf’s Law, after the Harvard University linguist George Zipf. In English text, there are more e’s than t’s, more t’s than a’s, and so on, down to the least frequent letter, “q.” If one lists the letters from “e” to “q” in descending order of frequency and plots their frequencies on a log-log graph, one can fit the values with a 45-degree line—that is, with a line with a slope of –1. If one does the same thing with text made up of Chinese characters, one also gets a –1 slope. And the same is true with the letters, words, or phonemes of a conversation in Japanese, German, Hindi, and dozens of other languages. Baby babbling does not obey Zipf’s Law. Its slope is less than –1 because the sounds spill out nearly at random. But as children learn their language, the slope gradually tilts up and reaches –1 by about the age of 24 months.
They did not have to receive the whole message to be able to fill in the blanks.
According to mathematical linguists, this –1 slope indicates that a given series of sounds or written symbols contains enough complexity to constitute a language. It is a necessary but not sufficient condition, meaning that this is the first test for complexity, but not a proof of it. According to Zipf himself, the reason for this –1 slope is a tradeoff he called the “principle of least effort.” It strikes a balance between the transmitter, who would like to expend the least amount of energy sending the signal, and the receiver, who would like the most redundancy to ensure that the whole message was received.
This September, a team of astronomers noticed that the light from a distant star is flickering in a highly irregular pattern.1 They considered the possibility that comets, debris, and impacts could account for their observations, but each of these explanations...READ MORE
The key to the application of information theory is isolating the signaling units. For example, just plotting all the dots and dashes in Morse code will give a Zipf slope of about –0.2. But if one takes multiple dots and dashes as the elementary units—dot dot, dot dash, dash dot, and dash dash, as well as longer sequences—the slope tilts toward –1, reflecting how letters of the alphabet are encoded in this system. In this way, one can reverse-engineer what the original units of meaning are.
Most linguists used to suppose that Zipf’s Law was a characteristic of human languages only. So we were quite excited to find that, upon plotting the frequency of occurrence of adult bottlenose-dolphin whistles, that they, too, obeyed Zipf’s Law! Later, when two baby bottlenose dolphins were born at Marine World in California, we recorded their infant whistles and discovered that they had the same Zipf’s Law slope as baby human babbling. Thus baby dolphins babble their whistles and have to learn their communication system in a way not dissimilar from the way baby humans learn their languages. By the time the dolphins reached the age of 12 months, the frequency of occurrence distribution of their whistles had reached a –1 slope, as well.
Although we have yet to decipher what bottlenose dolphins are saying, we went on to establish that they and whales have a communication system with an internal complexity approaching that of human languages. This complexity makes communication resilient. Any creature that exchanges information has to be able to do so despite ambient noise, intervening obstacles, and other effects that interfere with signal propagation. Human language is structured to provide redundancy. At the most basic level, this structure determines the probability that a given letter will appear. If I tell you I’m thinking of a word, you might guess that the first letter is “t,” since this is the most common first letter of words in English. Your guess would be safe, but not very informative. We might say you played it safe with your guess. If instead you guess the letter “q” and you are correct, you gain some real information about what word I am thinking of if the word does, indeed, begin with the letter “q.”
Now take this a step further. If I told you that the letter I am thinking of is the second letter in a word whose first letter is “q,” you would immediately guess the letter “u.” Why? Because you know that these two letters go together with almost 100-percent probability in English. To guess what is missing, you are using not just the probability of occurrence of a letter, but the conditionalprobability between these two letters—namely, the probability of “u” given that the letter “q” has already occurred. Our brains use conditional probabilities whenever they need to fix errors in transmissions, such as faded text on a low-toner copy of a paper or garbled words in a noisy phone call.
For English words, conditional probabilities can be specified up to about nine words in a row. If you are missing one word, you can probably guess it by the context; if you are missing two words in a row, you can often still recover them from the context. As a short example, take a sentence missing a word: “How are (blank) doing today?” We can easily fill in the missing word “you” from the rules we know about the English language. Now consider a sentence missing two words: “How (blank) (blank) doing today?” It could be: “How is Joe doing today?” But there are other possibilities. Clearly, the more words that are missing, the harder it is to fill them in from context, and the lower the conditional probability between them. For most human written language, the conditional dependencies disappear when one is missing about nine words in a row. With 10 words missing, one really has no clue what these missing words could be. In the language of information theory, human word entropy goes up to about ninth-order.
We have discovered these conditional probabilities within animal communication systems as well. As an example, we were recording the sounds of humpback whales in southeastern Alaska with Fred Sharpe of the Alaska Whale Foundation. Humpbacks are famous for their songs, which are typically recorded when they go to Hawaii to mate. The calls they make in Alaska are very different: feeding calls intended to herd fish into nets made from bubbles and social calls rather than songs. We recorded these vocalizations in the presence and in the absence of boat noise. We calculated the degree to which the ocean channel acted like static in a phone line. Then we used information theory to quantify how much the whales would have to slow down their vocalizations in order to ensure error-free reception of the messages.
Even a very advanced extraterrestrial civilization would still have to obey the rules of information theory.
As expected, with boat noise, the whales slowed their rate of vocalization, just as one would do when talking on the phone with noise in the background. But they were slowing down in their transmissions by only about three-fifths of what they theoretically needed to do in order to ensure that the entire message was received without misunderstandings. How did they get away with not slowing down their vocalizations as much as the noise level seemed to require? We pondered this for some time before realizing that their communication system must have enough rule structure to recover the final two-fifths of the signal. The humpbacks were exploiting conditional probabilities between their sonic equivalent of words. They did not have to receive the whole message to be able to fill in the blanks.
We found internal structure in dolphin communication as well. The big difference is that the dolphins have a core of about 50 signal types, whereas the humpbacks have hundreds. We are currently collecting data to determine what the highest-order entropy of the humpback whale communication system may be.
As a test of our approach’s ability to separate astrophysics from an intelligent signal, we turned to an example from radio astronomy. When stellar pulsars were discovered by astronomers Jocelyn Bell Burnell and Antony Hewish in 1967, they were dubbed “LGMs” for “little green men.” Since these radio sources pulsed so regularly, some scientists initially speculated that they could be the beacons of very advanced extraterrestrials. So we re-analyzed the pulses from the Vela Pulsar with the help of Simon Johnston of the Australia Telescope National Facility and obtained a Zipf slope for the pulsar signals of about –0.3. This is inconsistent with any language as we know it. In addition, we found little or no conditional probabilistic structure within the pulsar signals. And indeed pulsars are now known to be natural remnants of stellar supernovae. Information theory could thus easily distinguish between a putative intelligent signal and a natural source.
We are currently analyzing microwave data obtained at the SETI Institute’s Allen Telescope Array, which consists of 42 individual telescopes observing in the frequency band from 1 to 10 gigahertz. In addition to the usual technique of looking for narrow radio carrier waves, we are beginning now to apply information-theoretic measures. This work is being performed in collaboration with Gerry Harp, Jon Richards, and Jill Tarter of the SETI Institute. If we find signals that obey Zipf’s Law, for example, that would encourage us to go ahead and look for syntax-like structure within the signals in order to quantify how complex the candidate message actually is.
To transmit knowledge, even a very advanced extraterrestrial civilization would still have to obey the rules of information theory. While perhaps not being able to decipher such a message because of lack of common symbols (the same problem we have with, for example, humpback whales), we would get an indication of how complex their communication system—and thereby their thought processes—may be. If the conditional probabilities of a SETI signal are, for example, 20th-order, then not only is the signal artificial in origin, but it would reflect a language far more complex than any on Earth. We would have a quantitative measure of the complexity of the thought processes of a transmitting ETI species.

ROSWELL: Infamous UFO case can be SOLVED once and for all, claims ex-MoD expert
ROSWELL: Infamous UFO case can be SOLVED once and for all, claims ex-MoD expert
A FORMER Ministry of Defence investigator claims the mystery of the Roswell UFO crash can be solved before the event marks its 70th anniversary in July.
Nick Pope, who investigated the UFO phenomena for the UK MoD until 2009, says he and the Roswell Daily Record newspaper believe someone can come forward to confirm once and for all whether an alien space craft did crash in the New Mexico desert in 1947, before the greatest cover up on Earth began.
Roswell has been at the heart of the UFO scene since in July 1947 the military sensationally announced in a press release it had found the remains of a crashed flying saucer in the desert nearby.
Local paper, the Roswell Daily Record, wrote this up as the lead story, under the headline 'RAAF Captures Flying Saucer on Ranch in Roswell Region'.
But the following day military officials retracted the statement, saying it was in fact a damaged US Air Force air balloon, prompting claims of a cover up.
Witnesses later came forward to say there had been alien bodies within the "crashed craft", which along with the wreckage were then taken away.
The newspaper's campaign is now calling on anyone who "hung onto" a part of the crashed object at the time to come forward with it for testing.
Mr Pope blogged: "As every citizen of Roswell knows, the city is at the centre of one of the greatest mysteries of all time.
"In 1947, something crashed in the New Mexico desert and was taken to Roswell Army Air Field — now the Roswell International Air Center.

Nick Pope hopes the Roswell UFO mystery will finally be solved.
"As we approach the 70th anniversary of this much-debated incident, the Roswell Daily Record is launching a campaign to resolve the mystery for once and for all.
"To do so, we need your help.
"While people argue to this day about what happened at Roswell in the summer of 1947, nobody disputes that something crashed. That’s because far from denying this, the military authorities actually helped get the story out — at least at first."
The original press statement said: "The many rumours surrounding the flying disk became a reality yesterday when the intelligence office of the 509th Bomb Group of the Eighth Air Force, Roswell Army Air [auth] Field, was fortunate enough to gain possession of a disk.”
But, a day later, the story changed, with the USAF saying the “flying disk” had been identified as debris from a crashed weather balloon and the equipment it had been carrying.

The Roswell mystery has perplexed UFO investigators for nearly 70 years.
Nobody denies there was a crash, we know that there was wreckage.
Nick Pope
Mr Pope added: "70 years on, is there any hope of solving the mystery?
"I think there is. I used to investigate UFOs for the British government, which was just one of a number of fascinating postings I had in a 21-year career at the UK’s Ministry of Defence.
"In my experience, the key to solving a mystery like this lies in the community in which these events unfolded.
"That’s why I’ve teamed up with the Roswell Daily Record to launch an appeal. Because nobody denies there was a crash, we know that there was wreckage.
"And because no clean-up operation can ever be perfect, and because people like souvenirs, we believe there could still be pieces of this wreckage somewhere out there in the local community."
He said some of the military personnel involved in the Roswell incident lived off-base in the local community.
He added: "These people — or perhaps their children or grandchildren — might have boxes up in their attics, filled with memorabilia.
"Alternatively, is there a trinket box on the mantelpiece, a jewellery box hidden away somewhere, or a desk drawer that hasn’t been cleared out in years?
"Our request is that readers root around and see what they can turn up. Look in particular for strange pieces of metal, but keep an
eye out for anything else that might be connected with the events of 1947, such as documents, photographs or diaries.
"The forthcoming 70th anniversary is likely to attract considerable media attention and public interest. Thus, it may represent our final chance to smoke out memories and memorabilia from those who were there — a last opportunity to solve the mystery."
Mr Pope told Express.co.uk: "In one sense I don't care whether it was an alien spacecraft, a secret prototype aircraft or a weather balloon that crashed, though the former would certainly be more interesting and fun.
"What I really care about is solving the mystery. After 70 years, it would be great just to know the truth, and I think the people of Roswell hold the key to this."

Are you or somebody you know an Indigo? A person with hidden powers. Dec 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Here is something I though important, yet is not discussed much here. Indigo children...those born with special abilities, powers that were given to them from alien overseers who help, without the individuals knowledge of it happening. Here is a list below that will help you find out if you or someone you know is an Indigo. There are everywhere, even here in Taiwan.
I knew one for years, before she revealed to me that she sees ghosts daily walking about. Kind hearted person who was a teacher. Most of us have met one at one point or other, but they often hide their special abilities when in public places.

1. May be strong willed independent thinkers who prefer to do their own thing rather than comply with authority figures/parents
2. Have a wisdom and level of caring beyond their youthful experience
3. Traditional Parenting and discipline strategies don’t appear effective with these children. If you try to force an issue, a power struggle is the typical outcome.
4. Energeticly, Indigos are vibrating at a much higher frequencey so they can get scrambled by negative energy (human or machine)
5. Emotionally they can be reactive and may have problems with anxieties, depression or temper rages if not energetically balanced
6. Are creative right brain thinkers, but may struggle to learn in a traditional left brain school system
7. Often Indigos are diagnosed with ADD and ADHD since they appear impulsive (their brain can process information faster) and they require movement to help keep them better focused.
8. Indigos are very intuitive, and may see hear or know things that seem unexplainable.
9. Indigos have more problems with food and environmental sensitivities, since their system is more finely tuned.
10. When their needs are not met, these children seem self centered and demanding, although this is not their true nature.
11. These children have incredible gifts and potential, but they may be shut down when not properly nurtured and accepted
CNN states: Whether they are called the "Disciple Generation" by Christians, or "Indigo Kids" by New Age followers, or Millenials by demographers children born after 1978 are said to be different. They are empathetic, curious, strong-willed, independent, and often perceived by friends and family as being weird. They possess a clear sense of self-definition and purpose and also exhibit a strong inclination towards spiritual matters from early childhood. These children have also been described as having a strong feeling of entitlement. These children have a high intelligence quotient, an inherent intuitive ability, and a resistance to authority. Indigo children function poorly in conventional schools due to their rejection of authority, being conceptually smarter than their teachers. They are non-responsive to authoritarian, guilt/fear/manipulation based discipline. Many of these children labeled or diagnosed as having ADHD. They are avoiding or leaving the modern Church model in droves as they find deep spirituality in the gifts God has given them.

UFO Near Space Station, Slowly Moves Away On Live Cam, Dec 18, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Dec 18, 2016
Location of sighting: Space Station, Orbit
This UFO was caught by Streetcap1 of Youtube. Whats really amazing about is that not only is the UFO matching speed with the space station, but we see it leaving the space station too. The UFO is sitting there, matching speed with the ISS at 7.66 km per sec or 17,150 miles per hour. So even though the UFO appears to be sitting still, its really moving fast side by side of the space station. Then, suddenly the UFO decides to leave, and thats the real excitement for me. Thats the moment that every UFO researcher hopes for...to see the UFO coming or going from the location. The UFO slowly begins to move away from the space station, in the opposite direction of the space station camera...absolutely the best possible position of the camera and the UFO for recording it leaving. Seeing it move away not only confirms that this sighting is 100% real, but it also gives us a look at the smoothness of movement to the UFO as it moves away, and how it grows smaller in the distance.
