Watch a Meteor Soar Behind an Erupting Volcano in this Epic Video
Watch a Meteor Soar Behind an Erupting Volcano in this Epic Video
Aresearch camera captured an incredible view of a meteor torching up the sky and disintegrating in the atmosphere in a six-second video. That’s already a pretty cool thing to watch. But when it passes behind an erupting volcano? It’s downright epic — and a fitting ending for what’s been a strange year.
Cameras at the Observatorio Vulcanológico y Sismológico de Costa Rica (OVSICORI) were trained on the region’s Turrialba volcano — one of the country’s largest volcanoes — which is actively erupting. Whizzing through the skies, the former space rock-turned-fireball soared nearly three miles above the ground and through the volcano’s ashy ejecta.
Eric Sanchez, of the University of Costa Rica’s San José Planetarium, said the event was captured by a specialized observatory camera. Despite being in operation since 2011, this is the first incident involving a meteor that the camera has captured.
A local astronomer, Victor Fung, estimated that despite the seemingly decent sized fireball, the meteorite might actually be small in size. “It has all the appearance of being a meteor of a size of a grain of dust,” he told the Q Costa Rica, a local news outlet. “The shooting stars are pebbles the size of a grain of sand. As they move at high-speed and enter the atmosphere, they burn and we see the result.”

'Star Trek ship' spotted in the sky by UFO sceptic - who admits he's baffled by the sighting
'Star Trek ship' spotted in the sky by UFO sceptic - who admits he's baffled by the sighting
The man said he was the 'last person' to believe in aliens - but admits he has no explanation for this strange object
BYKARA O'NEILL
A 'Star Trek' style spaceship has allegedly been spotted hovering in the sky in Canada.
Images of the strange object were captured by a self-proclaimed UFO sceptic who admitted he was the 'last person' to believe in aliens or extra-terrestrials.
The video has been uploaded to YouTube by Tyler Glockner, UFO hunter and founder of Secure Team 10.
In the clip, Tyler says: "Something [has been] caught flying in the skies over Canada.
"It looks like a saucer, it kind of looks like the Star Trek ship from the TV series."

The strange object was spotted over Random Island in Canada, by a man named Chad Haines.
After handing in the footage to a Canadian news site, Mr Haines admitted to reporters that he was the last person to believe in aliens , extra-terrestrials or UFOs.
But after witnessing the unidentified craft hovering in the sky near his house, he says he now can't explain what else it could have been.

Haines was deleting images off his camera in preparation when he stumbled upon photographs he'd taken earlier in the year.
He said the object was hovering over water 'near to the moon' and was visible for two to three hours.
After remaining still for most of that time, the object then moved up and down before rapidly shooting offout of sight.
Even a UFO sceptic can't come up with a rational explanation(Photo: Youtube/secureteam10)
Haines says the object definitely wasn't a plane, and said the UFO was far too large to be a drone.
According to Tyler, a sighting in the same place was spotted more than 37 years ago in 1978.
This time, it was a strange cigar-shaped craft hovering over Random Island. The police officer who spotted the object was subjected to so much ridicule that he barely mentioned the sighting ever again.
Rare and brief bursts of cosmic radio waves have puzzled astronomers since they were first detected nearly 10 years ago.
Some suggested these mysterious bursts of energy could be a sign of alien life trying to contact us.
Now the signals have finally been tied to a source - a dwarf galaxy more than 3 billion light years from Earth.

TRACKING DOWN THE ALIEN SIGNALS
Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, were first 'heard' by radio telescopes back in 2007.
A repeating burst discovered in 2012, however, provided the opportunity for a team of researchers from the University of California, Berkeley and Cornell University to repeatedly monitor its area of the sky.
The team used the Karl Jansky Very Large Array in New Mexico and the Arecibo radio dish in Puerto Rico, in hopes of pinpointing its location.
Using new software, the VLA last year detected a total of nine bursts over a period of a month, which was enough to pinpoint its location in the sky.
'We now know that this particular burst comes from a dwarf galaxy more than three billion light-years from Earth,' said Shami Chatterjee, of Cornell University.
The discovery that the bursts come from such a long distance away rules out any source in our own galaxy.

The signal was so temporary and seemingly random that it took years for astronomers to agree it was not a glitch in one of the telescope's instruments, and none of those first observed were ever seen again.

'For a long time, we came up empty, then got a string of bursts that gave us exactly what we needed,' said Casey Law, from the University of California at Berkeley.
Using new software, the VLA last year detected a total of nine bursts over a period of a month, which was enough to pinpoint its location in the sky.
Further analysis by other telescopes allowed its location to be narrowed down.
'The VLA data allowed us to narrow down the position very accurately,' said Sarah Burke-Spolaor, of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) and West Virginia University.
Berkeley's Casey Law says his favourite hypothesis about the origin of fast radio bursts is a magnetar surrounded by either material ejected by a supernova explosion.

WHAT ARE FAST RADIO BURSTS?
Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, are radio emissions that appear temporarily and randomly, making them not only hard to find, but also hard to study.
The mystery stems from the fact it is not known what could produce such a short and sharp burst.
This has led some to speculate they could be anything from stars colliding to artificially created messages.
The first FRB was spotted, or rather 'heard' by radio telescopes, back in 2007.
But it was so temporary and seemingly random that it took years for astronomers to agree it was not a glitch in one of the telescope's instruments.
'Before we knew the distance to any FRBs, several proposed explanations for their origins said they could be coming from within or near our own Milky Way Galaxy,' said Shriharsh Tendulkar, of McGill University in Montreal, Canada.
'We now have ruled out those explanations, at least for this FRB.'
But exactly what is causing the bursts in the dwarf galaxy is still not known.
Extremely bright exploding stars, called superluminous supernovae, and long gamma ray bursts also occur in the type of galaxy discovered in the new paper.
Both are hypothesized to be associated with massive, highly magnetic and rapidly rotating neutron stars called magnetars.
'All these threads point to the idea that in this environment, something generates these magnetars,' Law said.
'It could be created by a superluminous supernova or a long gamma ray burst, and then later on, as it evolves and its rotation slows down a bit, it produces these fast radio bursts as well as continuous radio emission powered by that spindown.
One alternative possibility is the galaxy's active nucleus, with radio emission coming from jets of material emitted from the region surrounding a supermassive black hole.

'Later on in life, it looks like the magnetars we see in our galaxy, which have extremely strong magnetic fields but rotate more like ordinary pulsars.'
WHAT CAUSES THE SIGNALS?
Berkeley's Casey Law says his favourite hypothesis about the origin of fast radio bursts is a magnetar surrounded by either material ejected by a supernova explosion or material ejected by a resulting pulsar.
But there are other possibilities.
One alternative is the galaxy's active nucleus, with radio emission coming from jets of material emitted from the region surrounding a supermassive black hole.
The source of the fast radio burst is within 100 light years of the continuous radio emissions from the core of the galaxy, which means they are the same or physically associated with one another.
In that interpretation, he said, fast radio bursts are like the tantrums of a toddler.
'We are the first to show that this is a cosmological phenomenon. It's not something in our backyard. And we are the first to see where this thing is happening, in this little galaxy, which I think is a surprise,' Law said.
'Now our objective is to figure out why that happens.'

'Finding the host galaxy of this FRB, and its distance, is a big step forward, but we still have much more to do before we fully understand what these things are,' Chatterjee said.
'Even without a clear answer, the authors' finding is a real game-changer, and the hunt for FRBs is afoot,' said Professor Heino Falcke, from the Radboud University Nijmegen who was not involved in the study, in an accompanying Nature News & Views article.

2017 a year of UFOs and Aliens? ET hunters watch for huge, 'incoming' piece of disclosure
2017 a year of UFOs and Aliens? ET hunters watch for huge, 'incoming' piece of disclosure
The alien theory enthusiasts couldn't have bargained for a better start to the New year 2017, with the first notable UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) sighting of the year coming just days after the New Year's eve. Professional British UFO photographer John Moony spotted a mysterious flying craft over Newton Abbot, Devon. This literally out of the world incident, which took place around 1:30 p.m. local time on Monday, has encouraged the photographer to believe that 2017 will indeed prove to be a very vital year in terms of hunting extra terrestrial (ET) life in space.
Moony, one of the most distinguished contributors on World UFO Photos (an UFO dedicated website), stated that, he was sky watching, while after gazing through the blue for an hour or so suddenly he noticed a "faint contrail" over Newton Abbot's skies. It was hard to recognize the object from so far, so it was only after zooming in on that quickly ascending object with his Nikon P900 he could make out that the contrail was not coming from a plane but it was coming from a mystifying flying craft, which was shaped like a classic UFO.
"The round glowing object was at a very high altitude and I doubt that many people would be able to see this without a telephoto lens or a pair of high zoom binoculars. The object was moving at a high rate of speed across the sky and I had real trouble stabilizing it in the camera's viewfinder. I began taking photographs of this strange object and I managed to take six photographs that show the movement of this object," said John Moony, according to the Inquisitr.
The photographer seems to be quite positive about finding more extraterrestrial phenomena throughout this year and his optimism is well-grounded, as what he captured through his lens might just be the first UFO sighting of 2017. In 2016 we had many experts saying that 2017 might be the year of UFOs and ETs. Moony's finding at the very beginning more or less sealed it.
Scientists were excited earlier in 2016 when strange signals were detected from deep space. While many experts state that it is likely to be another false alarm, there is hope that significant news will arise from it either way.
Not only in Newton Abbot but New Year's Eve was rife with a number of interesting UFO-related news from around the globe. One of the most significant ones came from Queen Creek, Arizona, where witnesses reported seeing three mysterious lights slowly ascending to the sky. The lights most definitely evoked lots of speculations and theories with a number of them saying the lights might not be of this world at all.
While the actual source or justification of those lights is still unknown, skeptics have already given their share of explanations.
According to Sputnik News, Julie Baumann, one of the witnesses and a consultant for marketing company Isagenix, stated: "I just saw these three lights consecutively spaced out and they were close so it definitely caught my eye. They were moving slow. They didn't speed up or slow down. We were looking at it, all of us and we were going 'Okay, it's definitely just paper lanterns.' The other three were like a ball of light and the last one just looked like a plastic bag floating in the wind. It draws that curiosity of what could it be and aliens and I know people want to believe what they want to believe... but I saw three lit paper bags and one unlit paper bag."
Unsurprisingly, while some agree with Baumann's explanation, some strongly differ with it. Just like other UFO sightings it will be extremely difficult to prove who's right!
These UFO sightings of this year might just increase in number if we go by a very famous theory by some of the researches, according to which, a mysterious unknown object, an 'alien probe', is set to fly past Earth in 2017. The strange object which is now known as 1991 VG, was first spotted way back in November 1991 by astronomer James Scotti at the University of Arizona.
Initially it was suggested to be a section of Apollo 12 rocket, but Scotti claims that the timings do not match and instantly dismissed the notion as a ridiculous idea designed to cover up the reality of the situation!
When Scotti first spotted this mysterious strange object which is now called 1991 VG, it was about 10 metres in diameter, passing 280,000 miles from Earth – around 50,000 miles further than the Earth and the moon.
An artists Impression of this unknown potential Alien probe
This strange object showed an unusual rapid rate of rotation and its brightness appeared to fluctuate. This behaviour has not ever been seen before from any asteroid of its size – This mysterious object also had an orbit that was strikingly similar to that of Earth.
Once data was gathered on 1991 VG, Scotti realised this was the second time the unidentified object had passed Earth. The first was March of 1975.
Many truth seekers around the world are excited about this discovery and believe this could be a huge 'incoming' piece of disclosure in 2017, citing Steele's work as their source piece of evidence. When it does fly past Earth sometime in the summer of 2017, it will only be seen in the southern hemisphere.
The past year has already been filled with numerous sightings, including Curiosity Rover sending evidences of life from Mars the now-infamous mass sightings in Turkey that triggered the hashtag #ufoattacktoturkey, which was spotted by numerous residents and strangely covered up by social media. With the frequency of UFO-related incidents being reported around the globe, it seems completely possible that something very significant is going to happen soon.
Some interesting facts about aliens:
1. More than 40,000 Americans have taken out insurance against being abducted by aliens.
2. According to a report it is illegal for U.S. citizens to have any contact with extraterrestrials or their vehicles under Title 14, Section 1211 of the Code of Federal regulations, implemented on July 16, 1969.
3. In a push to draw in more tourism and additionally extra terrestrials, the town of St Paul, Alberta made the world's first UFO landing site.
4. Edgar Mitchell, the 6th individual to stroll on the moon, guarantees that "outsiders have reached people a few times".
5. One of the Presidents of the World Chess Federation claims that he was abducted by aliens trusts that chess was concocted by 'outsiders'.
6. Astronomer Frank Drake made the first scientific attempt to contact extra-terrestrial life forms in 1960.
7. Ohio State University inquires about spotting a sign originating from almost 220 million light years away that was so intense, it was named the "Wow Signal".
8. Some firefighters in the USA are actually trained to deal with aliens in case of a UFO crash or invasion
9. Three Days into the Apollo 11 Mission, the team reported an interesting flying question not far away from their location. They accepted it was a bit of the disengaged SIV-B rocket. That is, until they realized, that it was more than 6,000 miles away. The group of NASA still can't clarify what sort of article it was.
10. The Crop Circles are often believed to be created by aliens, as there is no proper explanation behind this phenomenon.
11. In 1957 a Brazilian farmer reported that he was abducted by aliens , who covered him in gel and mated with him. Surprisingly he is not the only one to claim being abducted by aliens. Mr. Ilyumzhinov from Kalmykia claims he was kidnapped by outsiders wearing yellow spacesuits on the night of September 17, 1997.
12. Scientist were stunned when they discovered a little, half-crawl long outside article implanted inside of the skeletal stays of once French ruler, Napoleon Bonaparte. This appears to run as an inseparable unit with Bonaparte's own account of snatching when he vanished for a few days in July 1794, asserting he had been held detainee without wanting to by an 'interesting gathering of men'.

Source of weird space signals turns out to be weird, too
Source of weird space signals turns out to be weird, too
Fast radio bursts have puzzled scientists for a decade. Now a team has traced one source of those signals to a distant galaxy.
For a decade now, astronomers have been puzzled by phenomena called "fast radio bursts." These FRBs are what they sound like -- split-second radio signals -- and they're coming from a mysterious source (or sources) across the cosmos. Exploding black holes, magnetars, hypothetical blitzars and even aliens are among the suggested causes. Now, for the first time, scientists say they've traced one of the bursts to its source, but the revelation may only serve to deepen the mysteries of its origin.
A team at West Virginia University discovered the first FRB in 2007 using archived data from Australia's Parkes telescope collected in 2001. A dozen more bursts detected in subsequent years by different radio telescopes all seemed to be random one-off remnants of far-away colossal cosmic collisions reaching our world.
That is until an FRB signal that repeats itself was identified for the first time.
The mysterious signals are coming from a tiny galaxy in the constellation Auriga.

On Wednesday at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Grapevine, Texas, an international team of scientists detailed a major breakthrough: they've been able to trace that repeating signal to a specific galaxy, another first.
"We know that at least one of these FRBs originated in a discrete source within a distant dwarf galaxy located some three billion light-years beyond our Milky Way Galaxy," said Shriharsh Tendulkar of McGill University and a member of the discovery team.
The astronomers traced repeating FRB 121102, which was first discovered in November of 2012 at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, to the surprisingly tiny galaxy in the direction of the constellation Aurigia using the Very Large Array in New Mexico and other large telescopes.
The revelation only deepens the mystery of this odd phenomena, because the cosmic address they pinpointed is not at all what you'd expect.
"That's weird isn't it? You'd expect to find FRBs where there are more stars... more stars means more neutron stars," Tendulkar told a room of reporters and scientists at the meeting. He went on to explain that neutron stars -- remnants of massive stars -- are among the top candidates to explain FRBs.
The findings, which the scientists refer to as the first "localization" of a fast radio burst, are published in the journal Nature.
Locating the source of an FRB for the first time also opens a new pathway for studying parts of space beyond our own galaxy.
"This detection has really opened the gates to a new realm of science," Sarah Burke-Spolaor, who worked on tracing FRB 121102 to its source at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory told the audience. "This phenomenon is so well-tuned to explore the universe, particularly the space between galaxies ... We can study the structure and the content of this empty space."
In other words, the discovery could give scientists a new technique to see and study what's otherwise invisible between galaxies.
The fact that FRB 121102 sends repeating signals eliminates an early theory that suggested all FRBs were basically aftershocks of huge cosmic cataclysms. Knowing FRB 121102's repeating signal comes from a tiny galaxy makes it unlikely there's space-shaking collisions or explosions happening there multiple times per day.
One possible explanation is that there's more than one type of FRB.

"I think that this is a huge breakthrough but also extremely puzzling," Prof. Matthew Bailes, who is at Australia's Swinburne University of Technology and was involved in the discovery of the first fast radio burst in 2007, told me. "The nature of the host galaxy - a dwarf, was a bit of a shock. The proximity to an active galactic nuclei even more intriguing. Are there two or one class of FRB? We'll need to find more to get all the answers."
Big stuff can happen in a dwarf galaxy though, as UC Berkeley astronomer and team member Casey Law points out. Small galaxies can play host to major events like superluminous supernovae and long gamma ray bursts that are connected to magnetars, a crazy kind of neutron star with a powerful magnetic field that can give rise to powerful bursts of x-rays and gamma rays.
"All these threads point to the idea that in this environment, something generates these magnetars," Law said. "It could be created by a superluminous supernova or a long gamma-ray burst, and then later on, as it evolves and its rotation slows down a bit, it produces these fast radio bursts as well as continuous radio emission powered by that spin-down."
Hubble's best views of the mysteries of space (picture)
The detection of FRB 121102 by multiple radio telescopes would appear to rule out the most embarrassing possible cause seen in the past - some signals picked up a few years ago seemed at first like more fast radio bursts, but were later determined to be caused by someone opening a microwave oven door while it was running at the Parkes Observatory.
Then there is the explanation that none of the scientists directly involved with pinpointing FRB 121102 have mentioned, but that will probably continue to be associated with FRBs until their mysteries are solved: aliens.
At least one scientific organization is already looking into that possibility.
METI International (the acronym stands for Messaging Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) pointed the Boquete Optical SETI Observatory in Panama toward FRB 121102 starting Tuesday evening and has so far spent a total of about an hour searching for evidence of advanced civilizations in the neighborhood.
"That's not a lot of time for a phenomenon known to be intermittent and unpredictable. So far we've found nothing that looks like the telltale sign of extraterrestrial technology," METI International President Douglas Vakoch told me shortly after the press conference concluded Wednesday.
Vakoch doesn't think there's any call for jumping to conclusions about FRBs coming from ancient advanced alien civilizations just yet, but says investigating for the possibility is good practice for the day evidence of an alien civilization is detected and follow-up observations are needed.
Ironically, FRB 121102 itself actually helps discredit one of the early notions around FRBs that seemed to point to a pattern behind the bursts - a pattern that some believed couldn't be a coincidence and may have been designed by something intelligent, perhaps?
The year's wackiest 'evidence' aliens and UFOs are real
(picture)
As it turns out, the pattern only applied to the first ten FRBs recorded and others that followed, including FRB 121102, didn't fit the pattern. Sorry, E.T. We haven't received your call just yet.
While we're just beginning to understand these strange space signals better through FRB 121102, there's likely to be many more opportunities on the way, as it's believed that if we could observe and process incoming data from the entire sky, we'd likely find that earth is actually being bombarded with FRBs all the time.
"Finding the host galaxy of this FRB, and its distance, is a big step forward, but we still have much more to do before we fully understand what these things are," team leader Shami Chatterjee of Cornell University said.
The search for extraterrestrial intelligent life in the universe may sound like science fiction to some, but it’s been a legitimate and active part of astronomy research for decades. Now, some researchers want to take the next step, from looking for signs of life to sending out signals and telling any aliens out there: “Hey, we’re down here!”
This idea has drawn criticism from the likes of Stephen Hawking and launched a debate that will come to a head this year as a young organization rolls out its plan to craft a message to blast out to potential aliens some time in 2018. METI International, launched in 2015, is a nonprofit research group that plans to start messaging by the end of next year. Their name means “messaging extraterrestrial intelligence” (a play on SETI, the “search for extraterrestrial intelligence”).
“One of the big questions has been: is this dangerous, to be transmitting to extraterrestrials?” said Douglas Vakoch, the president of METI International. “Maybe they’re having a bad millennium and they’re feeling malevolent. But if that’s the case, they can come anyway.”
The main criticism that arises is how little we know about any potential life forms out there, and if they’re unfriendly, alerting them to our existence could be fatal. They might decide to attack our planet for resources, or eliminate our entire species just for fun. Or, if they’re like the heptapods in Arrival, just trying to help unite us.
“We have almost zero idea of whether aliens are likely to be dangerous,” wrote Mark Buchanan, a physicist, in an issue of Nature Physics last summer. “The single history of evolving biological life that we know of — here on Earth — carries a strong theme of violent conflict, perpetual battle for resources and the oppression of weaker groups by stronger ones.”
We’re not exactly an optimistic case study. But those in favor of reaching out, like Vakoch, believe if these unfriendly life forms are out there, and have the scientific advancement to travel to us, they would have already been able to find us: the Earth has been leaking radio waves for decades, which have reached the nearest 7,000 stars.
Vakoch has a PhD in psychology but has been grappling with the question of whether to try to communicate with intelligent life in the universe—and what to say if we do—since the late 90s with the SETI Institute. He told me part of the METI mission is to test out a challenge to the Fermi paradox—which questions why, if the universe is theoretically teeming with life, we still haven’t met any aliens.
One theory is that intelligent alien life surrounds us, but is keeping itself hidden from us plebeian life forms. The only way to get their attention would be to reach out first. (Fellow Star Trek fans will recognize this theory as fitting in nicely with the Prime Directive.)
It wouldn’t be the first time we’ve deliberately sent messages into space: NASA has done it, with its golden record on Voyager, plaques on Pioneer 10 & 11, and (for some reason) a Beatles song it beamed out in 2008. But the difference is that these messages were tangential to the real mission: great, if some aliens stumble across them, but they were not directed at a planet where we think life might exist. METI, by contrast, would be very deliberately sending messages to specific locations, such as Proxima B, an Earthlike planet in the habitable zone near our closest neighbor, Proxima Centauri. That message could travel to Proxima B in just over four years, meaning we could have a response (if there is indeed intelligent life there) just over eight years after sending the message.
But if you’re still siding with Stephen Hawking with this one and are worried it’s too risky, don’t panic yet. Vakoch told me METI will be hosting three important meetings this year to continue this debate. One meeting, in St. Louis in May, will specifically consider the potential risks and benefits of alerting other possible life forms to our existence, and may in fact convince the group to hold off on sending out messages.
“That’s possible,” Vakoch said. “We want to hear from people who do have concerns and we want to look for a method that will let us find common ground.”
And even if METI goes forward with its plan to send out a message in 2018, it will need either the permission of one of Earth’s existing large radio telescopes, or enough funding to build their own, so there’s no guarantee either will happen.
Whatever side of the debate you fall on, it’s pretty fascinating to see the different arguments unfold. The possibility of intelligent life in the universe is so real, it’s causing some of our greatest scientists to freak out over whether or not we want to find it.
Method-2, the world’s first mech, is something to behold. After it was unveiled late last month, the internet has been abuzz with uses for Hankook Mirae Technology’s creation. Just days after the reveal, designer Vitaly Bulgarov uploaded a new video on Saturday of the machine doing a merry jig in the South Korean firm’s lab.
Sure, today it’s dancing, but one day it could be used for a whole number of applications. Yang Jin-ho, the brains behind the project, made it simply because mechs are awesome. Which they are! But at a cost of 242 billion won (around $200 million), it’s probably best to come up with a real-world application at some point.
It’s a beast: the machine stands 13 feet high, weighs over 1.5 tons, and each arm weighs nearly 200 pounds. Bulgarov has worked on the designs of films like Terminator and Transformers, and those influences are on display in Yang’s creation.
There are plenty of changes that still need to be made before the bot is production-ready. For starters, it’s still tethered to a power source. As the team conducts more experiments, it may become clearer what the best uses for the bot are, meaning the team can focus on making the improvements that are going to best benefit the bot’s use cases.
“We’re currently revising the frame to reduce the vibration,” Bulgarov said in the video’s description.
Watch the video of Method-2 making some of its first steps here:
It is of course still rather early to say which of 2016’s more regrettable trends will carry over into the 2017 and which will simply be allowed to die, but a physicist from the Imperial College London is doing his part to make sure we all stay hyped about the idea that aliens are waiting for us just around the corner. Simon Foster believes that the moons Europa and Enceladus, which respectively orbit Jupiter and Saturn, will soon yield signs of alien life. “[T]here is a breakthrough just around the corner,” he sagely told the Daily Mail. Let us now discuss why, while Mr. Foster is not exactly wrong to direct his energies and hype up the prospect of life on Europa and Enceladus, he is still basically wrong.
The reason Foster is optimistic enough to claim that we’re really truly about to find aliens is because of the work currently being undertaken by the Cassini probe, which is studying Saturn and its moons — including Enceladus. Yes, Cassini could indeed find signs of microbial life, but the odds are not great. It has to do with the logistics of Cassini itself relative to Europa and Enceladus.
The two moons have a better potential for hosting life than other worlds because they both possess subsurface liquid oceans. But that means they need a probe to be able to actually dig below the surface. Cassini, tasked with flying through and investigating the Saturnian system, already completed its last flyby of Enceladus a year ago. Still, Cassini will be active until September 2017, which Foster and the Daily Mail believe will lead to a startling discovery.
Foster also says that the attention to Mars should arguably be redirected to other ocean worlds. That’s fine; NASA is hyped about them too! There’s nothing wrong with concentrating the search for alien life around distant icy moons — they’re arguably our most promising lead. Their ice means they might have subsurface liquid oceans, which in turn means they might be able to sustain life, though you don’t need me or the Daily Mail or anyone else to tell you what a long shot this all still is. Europa and Enceladus have both proved to be intriguing in their own ways, and certainly more promising than other moons in that there’s not not the possibility of life, but to state that we’re guaranteed some discovery of microbial life in the next calendar year, or whatever “just around the corner” means, is a bit much.
At any rate, after making these points Foster proceeds to tell the Daily Mail that Trump might actually be good for science and alien-hunting because it will simply be the practical investment to make, so you’d be forgiven for not getting quite as hyped about this latest round of aliens-or-maybe-not-but-definitely-stay-tuned.
“I think when he gets in he will be different,” said Foster. “Because from a business point of view, he is going to look at things like hurricanes and how they’ll affect America, so you are going to get more intense and frequent and people are losing their homes and businesses are being ruined by this, he is a businessman and that will cost you tax I think he will take a more pragmatic view on this.”
This mysterious object is known as 1991 VG and it was first spotted in November 1991 by astronomer James Scotti at the University of Arizona. Today, many conspiracy theorists think that this is a genuine “alien probe”, which is deliberately set to fly near Earth in 2017.
The object has confused astronomers ever since it was first spotted, mainly because of its strange rotation and longevity in space. Some people think that this is a section of the Apollo 12 rocket, but according to Scotti it is probably something else:
An artistic depiction of what the “alien probe” may look like. “We looked into all the possibilities for it being man-made. There were a few possible spacecraft and rocket bodies that might be 1991 VG. But, when we looked into each, we were able to eliminate each of them
According to other people, the strange object may also be a secret Soviet rocket from the Space Race era. It is a fact that the Soviets had equally powerful rockets as the American ones and it is quite possible that they launched one to get to the moon and covered it up if things went badly.
This is the orbit of VG 1991. Scotti realised that this object had passed Earth one more time in March 1975. When 1991 VG was first spotted, it was around 10 metres in diameter, passing 280,000 miles from Earth – around 50,000 miles further than the Earth and the moon. The object showed a rapid rate of rotation and its brightness fluctuated. At that time, this kind of behaviour was not observed at any asteroid of similar size. The object’s orbit was also similar to Earth’s orbit.
After gathering more information about 1991 VG, Scotti realised that this object had passed Earth one more time in March 1975. Again this is something that is not characteristic for an asteroid. They don’t tend to pass twice in the same spot
Duncan Steel, an astronomer at University of Adelaide, suggested it might be an “alien probe observed in the vicinity of our planet.” He only mentioned this theory in order to disprove it. In further interviews, he has stated that he isn’t convinced that VG 1991 is of extraterrestrial origin.
This hasn’t stopped conspiracy theorists from continuing to spread the idea of an extraterrestrial origin of the object. They still keep citing Steele’s work as their main source.
Nostradamus is quoted as saying mankind would discover a machine in space that was sent to us by the WATCHERS! in 2017!
NASA footage shows mysterious flying saucer UFO sailing above Earth’s atmosphere in space [Video]
NASA footage shows mysterious flying saucer UFO sailing above Earth’s atmosphere in space [Video]
It is being claimed that an alien flying saucer UFO was recorded in Earth’s atmosphere. This footage was excerpted by Alien hunters.
Footage from NASA’s ISS live stream uploaded to YouTube on September 27, 2016, by user UFO Sightings, titled “New NASA uncut footage shows clear UFO,” purports to show a UFO flying in space past NASA’s HD cameras on board the ISS.
According to UFO hunters, the flying saucer may have been flying out or entering into the Earth’s atmosphere at the time it was captured on camera. Although most analysts described the mysterious object as disc-shaped, the footage reveals a v-shaped indentation in the rear in contrast with a curved front (see video below).
The footage, according to YouTube UFO hunters, shows clear evidence of alien UFO activity above Earth’s atmosphere.
Enthusiasts debated the veracity of the claim that it provides conclusive evidence of extraterrestrial presence in our solar system and alien UFOs visiting Earth, according to Mirror.
Skeptics tried as usual to debunk the claim that the flying object was an alien UFO. Many suggested it could have been space junk making re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere.
But a believer pointed out that the object could not have been space junk because space junk and natural space bodies falling under the force of gravity normally spin, rotate or tumble. But the object shown in the video appeared to be stabilized and thus could not have been a natural space body or space junk making re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere.
“If that was space junk, I would have expected it to be rotating or spinning,” the viewer commented, according to HNGN. “If an object is in a very low orbit, the upper atmosphere is going to cause it to spin, unless it’s made like a dart. This object seemed to be stable. Meaning it…. was a spacecraft, flying under control of technology that stabilized its flight.”
Some skeptics wondered aloud why UFO videos tend always to be blurred, thus making it difficult to identify the alleged extraterrestrial craft.
“OMG! An alien spaceship just entered our planet,” a skeptic commented sarcastically. “Quick, grab our worst possible camera.”
“UFOs entering our airspace should be registered and required to pay for a permit or license and be regulated as to flight paths,” another skeptic joked. “Given the multitude of ‘sightings’ on YouTube the money collected could resolve our national debt.”
The latest alleged UFO sighting is remarkably similar to a sighting first reported on July 9, 2016, by UFO hunter Streecap1. UFO hunters claimed that the footage, taken from the live ISS stream, showed an alien UFO making a stealth incursion into the Earth’s atmosphere.
In the description of his YouTube video titled “UFO Enters Earth’s Atmosphere,” Streetcap1 acknowledged that the mysterious object shown entering into the Earth’s atmosphere from space could have been a meteor. But a singular reason to suspect that it was an alien UFO was that NASA prevented alien hunters from having a closer look at it by quickly cutting live transmission.
The alien hunter also argued that the object was likely an alien craft because just before NASA cut the video feed, it was seen slowing down and hovering momentarily above Earth’s atmosphere. UFO Sightings Hotspot agreed with Streetcap1 that NASA would not have cut transmission had the object been a natural space body, such as a meteor.
UFO hunters believe that NASA has a policy of covering up UFO evidence to prevent people from knowing the truth about the presence of technologically advanced extraterrestrial species in our solar system and alien UFOs visiting our planet.
“At first glance it could be a natural object like a meteor or an artificial object like space junk or a satellite, but what made it interesting was that NASA cut the live camera feed just at the moment the UFO seemed to stop just above earth’s atmosphere,” UFO Sightings Hotspot commented. “If it [was a] recognizable and identified object then there is no reason to shut down the live streaming.”
But other UFO analysts, such as Scott C. Waring, disagreed that the flying object could have been a meteor. Waring suggested on his UFO Sightings Daily that it could have been the Chinese space station Tiangong-1, China’s first unmanned space station, launched into orbit in September 2011.
“I have watched the International Space Station a lot over the last 6 years and I can tell you that this is not the moon, nor a meteor,” Waring commented. “It may be the Chinese space station cargo ship, called Tiangong-1, or the other one Tangong-2.”
Repeated allegations against NASA that it deliberately shuts down live transmission to hide UFOs that appear on its live ISS stream have forced the agency to issue multiple denials, the Inquisitr reported.

UFO filmed today 04.01.2017 slow motion shots are very mysterious transition to another dimension ?
UFO filmed today 04.01.2017 slow motion shots are very mysterious transition to another dimension ?
Published on Jan 4, 2017
Many people still doubt the existence of a flying saucers, but I tell you, just wait until they appear in large quantity. Around the entire planet will demonstrate their ability to fly, their appearance and disappearance. In a way that confuses people into the large extent, that no one really understand what is happening. It has been written that the sky will "sign". This "sign" already seen a lot of people, but by the end of this age will see it every man of the earth and will be surprised" Corpuscular ship is constructed in detail in accordance with the law of God in the form of light energy. Light corpuscular ship is therefore better as a spiritual power manifested corpuscular ships. The ship can move faster than light. When the object moves faster than light, disappearing from sight. Goes into another dimension. The human eye sees everything that is inside of the light spectrum. When I mention the light spectrum and hit the light spectrum of the sun. With increased intensity of light would blind man. His senses would not notice a higher form of vibration. It can not therefore see the world resulting on a different frequency, although located around beside him. Corpuscular ship can move at high speed. It is therefore invisible to the human eye. By increasing the energy of the corpuscular vessel there is an increase of its speed. If it goes into the vessel by its frequency, it means that moves slower than the maximum speed. This makes it the human eye sees. It manifests itself in the form of light. Reducing the speed to changing light and the human eye, the ship must appear as a solid object. If the moving ship and if it stays on the molecular level, the maximum rate will remain invisible to the human eye. That they are explained in words that corpuscular ship may be the front door of your house and you will not see it. The ship can come to a man secretly. People of it may remain hidden from man. The people of the corpuscular vessels reduces its frequency to a protein molecule in the cell become visible to the human eye. They therefore come secretly and suddenly appear before you in the form of light and energy. At that moment comes the light source, the energy in the form of spirit. You will be influenced by your spirit will be affected the most energy, which manifested itself around you and you will be allowed contact with corpuscular ships. In contact with them you should not worry. Believe me, it's something natural. There is nothing mysterious. Only one who manifests the spirit of mentally able to take this energy will be able to experience the transition from one age to another.
UFO'S Het aantal ufomeldingen is vorig jaar bijna gehalveerd in vergelijking met het jaar ervoor. Er werden 143 meldingen genoteerd in 2016 en dat waren er 89 minder dan in 2015, toen 232 meldingen binnenkwamen. "Hoofdreden is vermoedelijk de nieuwe methode die we hanteren voor het registreren", aldus Frederick Delaere - zelf een non-believer - van het Belgisch UFO-meldpunt, "maar het verklaart niet alles."
Een en ander staat te lezen in het 52-bladzijden tellende jaarverslag 2016 van het 'Belgisch UFO-meldpunt'. Daaruit kan verder worden opgemaakt dat de meeste meldingen binnenlopen in de maand januari. "Vermoedelijk is de media-aandacht die gegenereerd werd door de publicatie van het vorige jaarverslag, hier verantwoordelijk voor", zo staat in het verslag.
De 143 waarnemingen van het ufomeldpunt zijn waarnemingen in Vlaanderen, want daarnaast is er nog een ander centrum, het Comité Belge pour l'Etude des Phénomènes Spatiaux (COBEPS), dat meldingen in Franstalig België registreert. Die noteerde 74 meldingen voor 2016, in 2015 waren dat er nog 93. Wat de 143 Vlaamse meldingen betreft, kwamen de meeste uit de provincies Oost-Vlaanderen (33) en Antwerpen (30)
De aanzienlijke daling van het aantal meldingen uit Vlaanderen is naar alle waarschijnlijkheid voor een deel veroorzaakt door het feit dat het Belgisch UFO-meldpunt sinds februari 2016 een nieuwe werkmethodiek hanteert. Aan de waarnemer wordt nu gevraagd om bij voorkeur alleen nog verschijnselen te melden waarvan de waarschijnlijke verklaring niet terug te vinden is op de internetpagina "verklaringen" van het ufomeldpunt.
"Maar dat verklaart niet de volledige daling", aldus Delaere. "In Wallonië gebruiken ze nog dezelfde methodiek als vroeger en daar loopt het aantal meldingen ook terug. De piek in 2011 en 2012 was volgens ons overigens vooral te wijten aan de hype rond wensballonnen die er toen was."
Waarnemingen krijgen de status van "hoge vreemdheid" toebedeeld, wanneer ze aan bepaalde criteria voldoen. Hoewel de getuigen aangespoord werden om hun meldingen zo gedetailleerd mogelijk te beschrijven, kreeg het grootste deel (51 meldingen) van de binnengekomen waarnemingen "gegevens onvoldoende" als evaluatie. Deze meldingen bevatten voor het meldpunt te weinig bruikbare gegevens om een eventuele verklaring te kunnen geven of een verder onderzoek te starten.
Meteoren
Bij de verklaringen voor de beschreven en vaak ook gefotografeerde of gefilmde "niet geïdentificeerde vliegende voorwerpen" noemt het Belgisch UFO-meldpunt in zijn jaarverslag onder meer "meteoren of ruimteschroot, ballonnen, satellieten (inclusief ISS), vliegtuigen en helikopters, vogels en drones". Het laat zich aanzien dat vooral laatstgenoemde verklaringsgrond de komende jaren nog in aantal zal toenemen.
In totaal bleken amper drie meldingen niet te verklaren te zijn. "Zo werd er in Lembeke een toestel gespot met een raster onderaan", aldus Delaere. "We vermoeden dat het een vliegtuig was, maar konden geen toestel identificeren dat daar voorbij gevlogen zou zijn. De getuige leek ons wél betrouwbaar."
Drone
En er was ook een melding van een vreemd voorwerp in de Oost-Vlaamse gemeente Wachtebeke, vlakbij het provinciaal domein Puyenbroek. "Het deed wat denken aan een drone, maar aangezien er in die regio een verbod geldt op drones, hebben we deze waarneming ook als onverklaarbaar bestempeld", aldus nog Delaere.
Slaapverlamming
De vreemdste melding? "Dat was iemand die een wezen in haar slaapkamer had gezien", aldus Delaere. "Het gebeurde in Zoutleeuw. We vermoeden dat het hier ging om een geval van slaapverlamming. Patiënten zitten dan vast tussen slapen en waken en kunnen zich niet bewegen. Het is typisch dat ze dan vreemde figuren zien. Alle symptomen kwamen hiermee overeen."
Er is een nieuw orgaan ontdekt in het menselijk lichaam. Het gaat om het 'mesenterium' waarvan wetenschappers eeuwenlang dachten dat het uit verschillende delen bestond maar het blijkt nu één afzonderlijk geheel te vormen in ons maag-darmstelsel. Maar de functie van dit nieuwe orgaan stelt onderzoekers voorlopig voor een raadsel.
"Deze vondst opent een heel nieuw gebied voor de wetenschap", verklaarde de Ierse onderzoeker J. Calvin Coffey die de ontdekking deed. "We hebben al de anatomie en de structuur van het orgaan ontleed, nu moeten nog te weten komen wat de eigenlijke functie ervan is", aldus de vorser van het universitaire ziekenhuis in het Ierse Limerick.
"Eens je weet wat de functie van dit orgaan is, kan je ook achterhalen wanneer het mesenterium niet normaal functioneert en bepaalde ziektes vaststellen."
Dubbele plooi Het mesenterium is eigenlijk een dubbele plooi van het buikvlies dat onze buikholte bekleedt. Het hecht onze darmen vast aan de binnenkant van onze onderbuik en houdt alles op zijn plaats.
De ontdekking werd uitvoerig beschreven in het gerenommeerd wetenschappelijk vakblad The Lancet. Alle medische naslagwerken krijgen een update zodat geneeskundestudenten voortaan leren dat het mesenterium een afzonderlijk orgaan is.
Da Vinci Het was Leonardo Da Vinci die in 1508 het mesenterium voor het eerst beschreef. Daarna werd het eeuwenlang genegeerd omdat het als onbetekenend werd beschouwd. Tot de Ier Coffey deze belangrijke ontdekking deed.

LONDON PHYSICIST CONFIDENT: 2017 WILL BE THE BREAKTHROUGH YEAR FOR DISCOVERING ALIEN LIFE
LONDON PHYSICIST CONFIDENT: 2017 WILL BE THE BREAKTHROUGH YEAR FOR DISCOVERING ALIEN LIFE
A number of incredible discoveries in 2016 have led scientists searching for life on other planets to conclude that they are quietly hopeful that 2017 will be the breakthrough year when human beings will finally come up with conclusive proof of extra-terrestrial life.
Scientists are always very cautious when it comes to proclaiming that they have found life on other planets. This is because there have been so many false alarms in the past which have led to disappointment both among the scientific community and the public.
Dr. Simon Foster, a physicist, based at the prestigious Imperial College in London said; “In the past when we thought we had discovered aliens previously, it was a new form of star called the pulsar. We don’t know hardly anything, and when we come up against something we don’t know or doesn’t fit into out current understanding, it is quite nice to say that it could be aliens, whereas a lot of it is just a phenomena that we haven’t discovered.” But despite all of that, Dr. Foster still believed that there was a reason to be confident that aliens would be discovered in the near future. “Either way there is a breakthrough just around the corner, ” he said.
There are numerous reasons why scientists are becoming more certain that a breakthrough is imminent. Last year, scientists detected highly unusual pulse signals from deep space which they believe are likely to have been caused by an advanced alien civilization. The research is currently being reviewed by bodies such as SETI, but even if this particular theory does not pan out, scientists believe that less sophisticated forms of life may be discovered in this solar system in the coming year.
NASA and other large space agencies across the world are launching several exploratory missions this year that may well reveal that this solar system is home to microbial life forms. According to Dr. Foster, the probe Cassini which is currently orbiting Saturn and its moons is fairly likely to discover bacterial life. “What’s interesting is that one of Saturn’s moons, Enceladus, is an icy moon and that leaves the tantalizing prospect of looking for life, ” he said. He also suggested that another moon, Europa, may well have life in its vast underground ocean.
In addition to this, scientists have recently discovered a new planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, which is only four light years from Earth which they believe could be a very hospitable environment for life. According to Professor Phillip Lubin of the University of California at Santa Barbara, “The discovery of a possible planet around Proxima Centauri is very exciting. It makes the case of visiting nearby stellar systems even more compelling.” Later this year, astronomers will use some of the world’s most powerful telescopes to search the planet for life.
Merkwaardige UFO-waarnemingen in België: Felle lichten en twee vreemde wezens
Merkwaardige UFO-waarnemingen in België: Felle lichten en twee vreemde wezens
Drie UFO-meldingen uit België hebben het label onverklaard gekregen. Dat blijkt uit het jaarverslag van het Belgisch UFO-meldpunt, waarover Het Nieuwsblad bericht.
Het meldpunt vond het noodzakelijk om twee van die meldingen onder de loep te nemen. Op 25 januari vorig jaar zag een persoon uit Wachtebeke ‘een schijf met bovenaan een uitsteeksel’.
Het meldpunt ging eerst uit van een drone, maar daarna rees er twijfel aangezien drones in de omgeving van de waarnemingsplaats verboden zijn.
Te groot
Het object op de ontvangen schets is daarnaast veel te groot voor een drone.
Het meldpunt stelde vast dat een foute inschatting onwaarschijnlijk was aangezien de waarneemster het object vanuit verschillende hoeken zowel voor als achter een bomenrij waarnam.
“De korte waarnemingsduur, de duisternis en het feit dat de getuige zich in een rijdend voertuig bevond, zijn er de oorzaak van dat er geen gedetailleerde beschrijving van het object kon worden gegeven,” klonk het.
Twee felle lichten
Op 27 juni werd in Lembeke een voorwerp met twee felle lichten en knipperlichtjes waargenomen.
Het meldpunt dacht in eerste instantie dat het object een Boeing 737 was, maar de getuige kon niet geloven dat hij slechts een vliegtuig had gezien.
Aangeleverde extra details sluiten de vliegtuighypothese niet uit, maar maken het tegelijkertijd niet langer goed mogelijk om uit de beschikbare informatie een overtuigende conclusie te trekken.
Twee vreemde wezens
De meest merkwaardige melding werd gedaan door een vrouw uit Zoutleeuw. Op 23 mei zag ze naar eigen zeggen twee vreemde wezens.
“Ik open mijn ogen, kijk rond in de kamer […] en zie 2 hele grote tengere figuren staan die enorme armen en benen hebben en ik zie 4 uitgesproken langwerpige ogen naar me kijken,” schreef de vrouw.
Volgens het meldpunt ging het om een bijzondere vorm van zinsbegoocheling die optreedt vlak voor het ontwaken.
Omdat deze ‘dromen’ zich afspelen in een half wakkere toestand, zijn de beelden bijzonder levendig.
In de UFO-literatuur worden deze slaapkamerverschijningen vaak aangeduid als bedroom invaders.
143 meldingen
Het Belgisch UFO-meldpunt kreeg vorig jaar 143 meldingen binnen. Dat is een daling van 89 waarnemingen in vergelijking met 2015.
In januari kwamen de meeste meldingen binnen. Ook in de zomermaanden werden meer UFO’s waargenomen.
6 Hidden Clues Behind Mysterious Ancient Civilizations, Were Aliens Responsible? Jan 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
6 Hidden Clues Behind Mysterious Ancient Civilizations, Were Aliens Responsible? Jan 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of video: Jan 3, 2017 Maker of video: Strange Mysteries of Youtube Here is a thought provoking video about some ancient mysteries that are still being questioned about if aliens were or were not involved in making these ancient civilizations. The more we learn, the more questions we have. I am confident aliens have been here for millions of years and have interfered with the rise and fall of many civilizations. Scott C. Waring Video states:
The Seven Mayan Prophecies foretold by the Mayan people claimed that a series of devastating events would occur to humanity beginning in 1999 and ending with Earth's apparent destruction on December 21st 2012. The ancient kingdoms of Egypt, Greece and the Mycenaeans were some of the most influential civilizations in human history, with many of their teachings and discoveries forming the basis of our modern scientific, religious and philosophical ideas. The Nazca Civilization existed in modern-day Peru between 100BC and 800AD, and this intriguing society seemed strangely advanced considering when and where they lived. The Sumerian people of southern-Mesopotamia were one of if not the very first examples of civilised society here on Earth, yet we still have a lot of questions about where these people came from, where their language was derived from, and where their genetic descendants are today. In the centuries since the west first clasped eyes on Easter Island's Moai statues, archaeologists have been confused over how the relatively primitive Rapa Nui people moved these big hunks of rock. Here's another mysterious bunch of old timey rocks for you, and we still don't know exactly how the Stone-age people of southern-Britain built this astonishing rock formation either. Viking lore is well known to many of us today thanks to the simple fact that it contains all kinds of awesome, but what remained a mystery for quite some time was exactly how these sea-faring Scandinavians interacted with their Norse mythology on a daily basis.
UFO Moves Over Small Town As They Sleep, Aug 15, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Moves Over Small Town As They Sleep, Aug 15, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Aug 15, 2016 but reported in Dec 2016 Location of sighting: Bolton, GB Source: MUFON 79014 This UFO would be mistaken by many to be a meteor, but it has no tail and is moving very slowly at a horizontal position. The object is bright and not too far above the city. Caught by a home security camera, the UFO would have normal gone unnoticed, but cams are becoming the essential tools that will bring about disclosure. Scott C. Waring Eyewitness states:
We were actually on holiday away from home when we caught this ufo on our surveillance camera at home. We noticed the following morning that we had captured something strange. We cannot find anyone else at this moment in time who saw it too but to record it on video I think is very lucky. On the video it has recorded the date and time. On the video after our security light comes on and then goes off a few seconds later, above the neighbours houses but further away a light appears to the centre of the screen. This light seems to have a trail after it. We thought we were watching a meteor at first but realising it was quite big and not straight up in the sky, it would have to be pretty close to the earth if it was. Also, the light changes direction, it actually turns around and comes a little closer as it goes back to the same direction it came from. The light comes into view in the centre of the screen and moves left, when it turns around it slightly disappears behind a tree but can still be seen. When it comes back it seems to come closer and moves off to the right and in the same direction it came from. I feel as it was moving over some water to the outskirts of our village.
This footage from the last year has made rounds online showing one strange bright round object in the sky that bursts into three.
Jared A, a YouTube user, drove along Alaska at three early in the morning when he noticed a burning bright light.
He was able to grab a camera and record the object split into two. One of them had vanished, and the other one erupted into three separate lights, which then formed a triangle in the sky and disappeared.
Jared posted the video to YouTube first, but more detailed explanations were shared on Reddit.
He wrote that he was about to approach the Morris Thompson Visiter Centre area when he looked up again and spotted a bright light went straight down and vanished.
Jared said that the one shown in the video just kept on flashing. He felt afraid but excited at the same time with the anomaly he witnessed.
He also pointed out that the object was brighter than in the video.
Some UFO enthusiasts believe the object is from another planet. One Reddit user described it as genuinely unearthly that might make to history books.
Another user said that it was just amazing to see in the video one light split into two and then three different objects separately.
As expected, not everyone was convinced about the UFO theory.
A YouTube user said that it looked more of strobes on a helicopter.
Another one said that it was just a weather balloon.
The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) are investigating the photographs from the sighting of a flying saucer that snapped over homes and allegedly sprayed chemicals into the air.
The unnamed witness said that he happened to look up and saw what he first thought a passenger plane on fire.
A few seconds later, he realized that it was not a plane. He described the aerial thing as a blunt silver-domed object having orange lights around the UFO’s middle. He added that it was a usual domed UFO looking craft.
Eventually, it became apparent to the witness that the craft was in trouble. The witness saw no flame or intense burning, but some kind of a vapor trail was left. He said that the vapor trail did not appear to be from any place on the craft. It nearly enshrouded the craft, slipped off and fell behind. The trail then dissipated within seconds later, according to the witness.
He thought the trail was radioactive or highly poisonous. He noticed an increased intensity of the rumbling hiss as the craft left the smoke.
The sighting took place on July 20, 2013, at around 11 am in Huntington Beach, California, but has only been reported to MUFON recently.
The witness estimated the object to be a mile away, moving to south or southwest. He further guessed the size to be the same of a school bus at approximately 35 to 40 feet wide.
The witness managed to get photos of the mysterious aerial thing as it moved from right to left towards the coast.
