Artists of long ago incorporate their UFO Sightings & Abductions into their paintings, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Artists of long ago incorporate their UFO Sightings & Abductions into their paintings, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Art is like the earliest forms of photography, recording the true history of mankind all the way back the those paintings on cave ceilings and walls. When an artists and a regular person stand side by side and observe a UFO sighting, many irregularities will come from their reports. The regular person will give one or two details, but the artist with his discriminating eye for beauty will describe twenty or more important details that the other person easily overlooked. So, looking at the paintings of historical artist is extremely important. I'm not saying an artist born in the 1300s or 1400s was transported to the birth of Jesus to witness and then paint it. What I am saying is that these artists had a more personal experience, one where they themselves witnessed a UFO or were abducted by aliens, and being unable to speak of it, instead they hid their experience in the painting, hoping that future generations may understand it better than his own towns people 600+ years ago who might label them as the town fool. Look in the above photo, you see something that doesn't belong there, an old man and looking upward at a UFO. He painted his personal experience into the important religious painting to preserve it forever. Many artists in the world used secret messages in their paintings. Scott C. Waring-Taiwan
Alien Drone With Face Of Alien Watching Over Quebec, Canada On Jan 10, 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Alien Drone With Face Of Alien Watching Over Quebec, Canada On Jan 10, 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Can you see the face watching? Above screenshot has only added light, below is normal.
Date of sighting: January 10, 2017 Location of sighting: Quebec, Canada This is a video of a UFO drone that was flying over Quebec this week. These drones hold still for long amounts of time, then suddenly darken, and light up in an entirely different location. As you can see and even the eyewitness saw, there is a very large face in the sphere at 2:07 into the video. I believe that this is because an alien is sitting on a ship or at an alien base, in a chair controlling this drone that allows them to feel, smell, even tough everything the drones comes in contact with as if it were their own body. The face is the aliens face, because the orb is like a two way window...where it could see out, and we can see in. I am not guessing at this, but gathered it from the data about such drones I learned about when studying a UFO and alien interaction case that took place in Tipoztian, Mexico back in the 1985 and 1992-3 years. The aliens described in detail these drones and even showed it to a human firsthand. Eyewitness states: Bright balls watch us on the ground, watch the video and the photos. Attention to the photos, you will see faces and others. You can take breaks to see other unexplained images.
Dark Triangle UFO Over Neighbourhood In Louisville, Kentucky Following Google Map Car, UFO Sighting News.
Dark Triangle UFO Over Neighbourhood In Louisville, Kentucky Following Google Map Car, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: January 2017 Location of sighting: Louisville, Kentucky, USA Source: MUFON #81433 This is a cool report, but was lacking the Google coordinates to confirm it. I luckily found the coordinates and yes, the triangle UFO is there. At the coordinates of 38° 6'23.28"N 85°51'20.04"W if you go into street view by dragging and dropping the orange person icon in this location, you will notice a dark UFO hanging over a white house. I look around the neighborhood on street view and found that the dark triangle was following the Google car for a little ways. The triangle was sometimes in front of the trees, meaning its size was only about 1 meter from corner to corner. It was probably cloaked, but the Google cameras digital eye caught it. Google has a program that blurs faces, license plates and apparently UFOs now. If you notice the blur over the window and the blur over the UFO appear to be made by the same cover up tool. Scott C. Waring-Taiwan Eyewitness states:
My son was looking for his phone and realize it was on his bed, when he picked it up google satellite was some how pulled up on his phone, he was like what the heck .. so he started looking at what the satellite map was on.. he realized it was on our house, he was shocked to see a object hovering over our house.. the object appears to be triangle in shape and brown in color... he snapped shot from different angles ... I am not sure what this object is, it could be a leaf or something on the satellite lens... but looks to be a UFO.., would love for your team to look at pictures and let us know if this is a object on the lens or if a UFO was really over our house!
Below, notice the UFO is in front of the trees and is a perfect triangle.
UK: Residents Experience Power Cut As Mysterious UFO Shoot Over Houses
UK: Residents Experience Power Cut As Mysterious UFO Shoot Over Houses
Stunned witnesses have claimed a UFO hovered above a park before shooting over houses. Some Buckingham Park residents claimed they observed a mysterious circular object hovering before flying into the distance in the night sky. They further reported power interruptions following the strange event.
One Buckingham Park resident, who requested not to be named, said that they were lying in bed when a dazzling light lit up their room. It was a clear night, so they assumed it was just a bright star. Then the thing that they thought a star slowly rose up and shot over the top of their house with an aircraft like noise but a speed toofast to be an airplane.
The concerned resident further reported that a sudden power interruption took place in his home. They said that as it passed over their house, the power dropped.
Approximately 45 minutes later, they heard the same sound and the power dropped for the second time briefly and came back.
They managed to take a photo of the UFO but did not have a chance to take a video since the UFO shot off suddenly.
Another resident claimed to have observed the same aerial thing. They were sitting watching television with blinds closed, but one of them was lit up as if someone was aiming a torch on it. They looked up and spotted a bright light that then shot across the top of the house. All the lights went down as the UFO passed over the house and came back on after the UFO shot off. They also said that the lights went down a few more times before they returned to normal.
Triangle UFO formation in the sky above Gosport, UK 9-Jan-2017
Triangle UFO formation in the sky above Gosport, UK 9-Jan-2017
Here’s one new footage of a bright orbs in triangular formation in the sky above Gosport in South Hampshire, UK. This was filmed on Monday, 9th January 2017.
Witness report:
3 lights flying randomly side to side, up and down, forming triangles, seemed random flight paths. I work as a cleaner, I went outside at 22.50 to dispose of rubbish bags into a bin and noticed 3 green lights at around a 30 degree angle north-west of my position. Distance and height were too difficult to estimate from my position but after checking on google maps there are mostly only fields in that direction. The postcode I observed from was PO13 0HR. The lights were evenly spaced in a large triangle formation with one more forward than the others when I first noticed them. They then all turned purple and started to move. You can observe in the video how them moved. I had full zoom using a phone camera so quality isn’t great but they were all bright purple in colour and didn’t change again. They seemed to move in a random manor, moving side to side and up and down very quickly and turning very sharply. They would pass each other to swap sides, sometimes coming back to form triangles for a few seconds before moving again. Several times it looked as though one moved into another and became one light before breaking apart again. They disappeared below the houses several times so that I couldn’t see from my position what they were doing until the final time when I waited several minutes before giving up that they wouldn’t appear again so whatever it was possibly landed because they didn’t appear above the houses again. I went back inside the building onto the second level to view from a higher angle and could see one light again just above the house but it quickly disappeared downwards and that was the last I saw of them. They never went higher than the initial height I observed them at. There were no other aircraft I noticed in the area although there is a small airfield behind my position. The weather was dry (although rain earlier in the day), the sky seemed clear, stars were visible overhead but none visible at the angle/height of these lights, presumably because of light pollution. When I left where I was 30 minutes later, the sky around the area where the lights were was a hazy red colour. The rest of the sky in the surrounding area was black but this area specifically was a different colour. I thought this might be some kind of heavy light pollution in that direction but according to google maps there are mostly just fields there, nothing that would give off unusual light pollution.
UFOs caught on tape over Las Vegas, Nevada 8-Jan-2017
UFOs caught on tape over Las Vegas, Nevada 8-Jan-2017
Here’s a new video of a bright objects hovering in the night sky above Las Vegas in Nevada. This was filmed on Sunday, 8th January 2017.
Witness report:
The end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017 have been strange here in Las Vegas. I don’t remember a time where we had so much wind and rain. Between November of 2016 and now I have only had a few opportunities to get outside to do some skywatching and last night was one of them. I got video from Nellis, Henderson and a short night vision clip from the Blue Diamond Hills and the Southern Valley. This video is just Nellis. In parts of the video, you can see it hasn’t been very warm here because you can see heat waves from somebody’s home distorting the objects I am filming. I didn’t speed this video up at all so that you could witness these incredible objects just like I do. When one of my videos is really good the tabloids get hold of them and make up all kinds of stories to go along with them. To date, not one of the tabloids has ever tried contacting me to get the real facts and that really bugs me. All along I have said that I don’t know exactly what these are and I would never make an “as a matter of fact” claim that these are anything other than amazing technology that is being systematically withheld from us. My hope is that one day soon I will be able to tell you exactly what they are but until that happens they are just amazing aerial objects that defy plausible explanations.
‘Flaming UFO’ lights up skies over Devon for three hours
‘Flaming UFO’ lights up skies over Devon for three hours
A ‘flaming UFO’ has been spotted soaring above Exmouth in Devon.
At least that’s what this musician claims he saw shortly after 1pm on Wednesday.
According to Mark Emmins, the oval-shaped luminous object appeared in the sky and remained there for about three hours.
His friend, Tyron Osborne, snapped the rare sight as the pair looked on in amazement, convinced it was a UFO.
Posting pictures online, Mark wrote: ‘Today for the second time in my life I can honestly say that myself and my neighbour watched a UFO.
‘It was stood still in the sky for some hours and then decided to move and then vanish. We got photos too.’
The object, which is most likely not a UFO, was initially dismissed as a star, but Mark insists he later windows on it.
He said: ‘If you look closely you can see what appears to be windows. I have never seen anything like this.
‘As for believing in aliens, I’ve always thought we are not alone in the universe and hoped to see something that would make me believe they would visit us.
‘I didn’t expect it to actually happen.’
Mark believes the object came from the US after he noticed it was traveling east from Dawlish.
His post led to dozens of people speculating at what it could be, with most people saying it was probably not a UFO.
Wendy Seaman wrote: ‘Looks like the Enterprise. Are you sure it wasn’t a satellite, one goes over about 4ish daily. When its a clear day you can see it clearly.’
Paul Oxenham said: ‘It could have been someone’s drone.’
But Steph Pommier wasn’t going to put it off that easily, writing: ‘UFOs have been spotted since the beginning of Man. Just accept it. We cannot know nor control everything.’

BRITISH COP WITNESSES TALL WHITE ALIENS INSPECTING FRESH CROP CIRCLE
BRITISH COP WITNESSES TALL WHITE ALIENS INSPECTING FRESH CROP CIRCLE
According to a story circulating in the UFO and alien conspiracy theory blogosphere, a British Police Sergeant had an encounter with Tall White Aliens on July 6, 2009. The aliens were allegedly inspecting a freshly-made crop circle in a field in Wiltshire, England, when the police officer, who was off-duty at the time, encountered them.
The mystery of the incident was reportedly compounded by the refusal of Wiltshire Police to comment when contacted by local UFO and paranormal investigators. A police spokesperson reportedly said the authorities could not comment on the incident because it was a “personal matter,” according to the paranormal blog Tales from Out There.
“The police officer was apparently off duty when this happened so we have no comment to make because it is a personal not a police matter.”
The unnamed Wiltshire Police officer was driving past a field when he saw strange-looking men walking in the field. He had a “strange feeling” about the appearance of the “men” from afar, so he stopped his car to investigate, Express reports.
As he walked towards the field, he saw three tall men with long blond hair, all more than six feet tall. The men were walking slowly in the middle of the field as if they were searching for something or inspecting the crop. Because the men were dressed in white overalls, he thought they could be forensic officers investigating an incident in the field.
When he reached the side of the field, he heard a crackling sound similar to the “sound of static electricity.” The strange sound seemed to be running through the field and the crop moved in ripples with the crackling noise.
He raised his voice to draw the men’s attention, but they ignored him and refused to look up. But as soon as he entered the field, they looked up and appeared agitated.
And as he approached, they suddenly took to their heels.
The strange men, according to the officer, “ran faster than any man he had ever seen.”
“I’m no slouch but they were moving so fast. I looked away for a second and when I looked back they were gone.”
The crackling noise continued spreading around on the field as the strange-looking men ran away. The officer noticed they ran with an odd gait.
Unnerved by the strange encounter, he hurried back to his car and drove back to Marlborough in Wiltshire.
“I then got scared,” he said. “The noise was still around but I got an uneasy feeling and headed for the car.”
He reported the incident to his superiors but they did not take his story seriously. He continued to have an uneasy feeling all day, with a pounding headache.
“For the rest of the day I had a pounding headache I couldn’t shift,” he said.
Determined to get to the bottom of the mystery, he contacted Andrew Russell, a local crop circle expert. Russell investigated the incident with the help of a colleague identified as Colin Andrews.
“At first he thought they were forensic officers as they were dressed in white coveralls,” Russell wrote in a report summarizing the officer’s experience. “He stopped his car and approached the field.”
“The figures seemed to be inspecting the crop,” he continued. “When he got to the edge of the field he heard what he believed to be a sound not dissimilar to static electricity.”
“This crackling noise seemed to be running through the field and the crop was moving gently, close to where the noise was,” he added.
“He shouted to the figures who, at first, ignored him… When he tried to enter the field they looked up and began running.”
The investigators said they were convinced the officer’s account was truthful.
“I am quite convinced the officer had an experience that day and one that we have not fully explored,” Russell wrote.
According to Russell, the witness’s description of the tall men matches the appearance of Tall White Aliens. The crop circle experts concluded after investigations that the aliens were inspecting crop circle created a few days before.
Who made the crop circle remains a mystery. Russell could only guess the crop circle carried a coded message that the Tall White Aliens were trying to decode at the time the police officer saw them.
When the investigators contacted the Wiltshire police, the authorities refused to comment. They insisted the incident was a “personal matter” and that the police authorities were not investigating the strange claims.
The incredible story sparked discussion on Scott C. Waring’s UFO Sightings Daily blog.
According to Waring, the police officer’s claim that the strange men moved oddly could be explained by the structure of the legs of Tall White Aliens. Tall White Alien legs below the knees have a shape similar to a dog’s, Waring claimed.
“The police officer says that they moved oddly, which they do, because the shape of their leg (from the knee down) actually goes opposite direction from ours,” the alien hunter commented.
But, according to Waring, Tall Whites are able to mingle with humans unnoticed because they use advanced technology to disguise their appearance.
“Some kind of holo-emitter makes [their feet] appear human like, but they still cannot mask their odd walk,” Waring wrote.
Alien conspiracy theorists claim that Tall White Aliens concluded a trade agreement with the U.S. government in the 1950s. The treaty required the U.S. government to provide certain mineral resources the aliens needed in exchange for access to advanced aerospace technology needed to run Pentagon black projects.
It is claimed that a community of Tall White Alien scientists, engineers, and technicians live in an underground base at the Nellis Air Force Base, a few miles outside Las Vegas.

Illinois UFO described as five orbs inside bright light
Illinois UFO described as five orbs inside bright light
An Illinois witness at Lake County reported watching and photographing a bright light UFO that appeared to have five smaller orbs inside of it, according to testimony in Case 81037 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness noticed a bright light in the sky at 5:30 p.m. on December 18, 2016.
“Thought it was a star or planet, but then it started flashing and then started moving more to my right,” the witness stated. “Thought it was a satellite, but thought it was too large to be one.”
The witness then used a cell phone and zoomed in on the object.

“I saw a big orb with five little orbs inside. I tried to take a video, but it was too far out there to zoom in on for a video. I kept looking at it through a zoomed picture and it kept breaking up into five smaller orbs, then three, then two, and then reassembled itself into one big orb. I then noticed an orb by it detach itself and then sporadically went left of the orb and then vanished. The object was in my sight for about two hours and then slowly vanished behind the treeline of my house.”

The witness uploaded five images with the MUFON report, which was filed on December 18, 2016. Illinois MUFON State Section Director James Wolford investigated and closed this case as an Unknown.
“The complex structure and behavior of the object rules out natural phenomena,” Wolford stated in his report. “This was something artificial with technology that may be beyond man-made construction. My disposition for this case is Unknown – Other.”

Some additional Rendlesham documentation from the US Air Force
Some additional Rendlesham documentation from the US Air Force
Background
In the summer of 1984, the year after the Rendlesham Forest UFO incident first hit the headlines, the celebrated American broadcaster Chuck de Caro produced a documentary on the Rendlesham case for the US Cable News Network (CNN). At that time, Captain Victor Warzinski was the Public Affairs Officer for the twin bases of Bentwaters and Woodbridge and as such was responsible for answering de Caro’s research inquiries. Warzinski’s written responses, obtained by researcher Peter Robbins and released publicly in 2014*, add interesting insight into official knowledge of the Rendlesham case on the twin bases.
Telexes from the Public Affairs Office at Bentwaters
Warzinski’s replies to de Caro’s inquiries consist of three telexes: one three pages long dated 21 August 1984 and headed “Interim feedback, CNN queries”; the second of five pages, dated three days later and headed “CNN queries”; and a third consisting of two pages dated 6 November 1984 and headed “CNN queries, RAF Bentwaters UFO incident”.
The questions were forwarded to Warzinski by the headquarters of the US Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) at Ramstein Air Base, Germany. Warzinski replied to Ramstein, with copies to the USAF’s UK headquarters at Mildenhall, Suffolk. Hence these telexes amount to internal USAF correspondence between Bentwaters and Ramstein. Copies were kept in a file at the Public Affairs Office at Bentwaters along with other correspondence concerning the case. Copies of de Caro’s original questions were sent to the MoD by the British base commander, Squadron Leader Donald Moreland, and form part of the MoD Rendlesham file (DEFE 24/1948/1), but the MoD left the USAF to provide answers.
Even back in 1984, less than four years after the events in the forest, Warzinski was hard-pressed to find any documentation about the incident, but he did report as follows.
1. In Telex 2, pages 2 and 4, Warzinski says that the disaster preparedness branch, which deals with nuclear and biochemical incidents, had no reports or records of the event. [My comment: Sergeant Nevels, the geiger counter operator with Halt’s party, was a member of the disaster preparedness department but evidently never wrote up his findings for the record and the whole episode remained unofficial.]
2. In Telex 1, page 2, Warzinski tells us that a letter on file from the (unnamed) OSI commander at the time of the incident says that “OSI did not do any investigation”. In Telex 2, page 4, Warzinski further states “OSI informs they were not informed of the incident. Did not investigate or compile a report.” In Telex 3, page 1, Warzinski emphasizes the same point: “No one was later interviewed by OSI as they did not conduct any investigation.” [My comment: OSI is the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations. This denial of any official investigation, of course, does not preclude some unofficial inquiries being made out of personal interest but there is certainly no evidence for the massive OSI interrogation of witnesses that some have claimed.]
3. In Telex 1, page 2, Warzinski quotes a letter from Col Cochran, the commander-in-chief of the base at the time of the incident, saying “no audiovisual documentation was done, nor was any report or investigation initiated by the USAF”. Elsewhere Warzinski acknowledges that he knows of Col Halt’s tape recording but says he regarded this as Halt’s personal property and did not ask for a copy of it.
4. The files also contain a letter dated 9 November 1984 to an inquirer addressed as Mr Bateman in which Warzinski explains: “Colonel Halt’s report makes specific mention of the type and strength of the radiation readings. However, it should be understood that these reported readings fall within the range of normal background radiation counts.” Hence it is clear that no one on the base at the time regarded the radiation readings obtained by Col Halt’s team as anything out of the ordinary.
5. In a letter to researcher Mark Birdsall dated 30 July 1985, Warzinski tartly notes: “We do not have any unknown vehicles stored underground at Bentwaters. Indeed, there are NO underground storage areas on either of the twinbases.”
Warzinski sums up the Rendlesham Forest Incident
Throughout the files, Warzinski’s bemusement at the public interest in what to him was evidently a non-event comes through clearly. Warzinski summarized the situation better than he knew when he wrote to Mark Birdsall in August 1984 wondering: “Was it simply an unexplained incident blown completely out of proportion, like the fisherman’s tale of the ‘one that got away’ that keeps getting bigger and bigger with each retelling?” He could scarcely have realized how big this tale would eventually get.
* Warzinski’s telexes and other correspondence from the Public Affairs file at Bentwaters are contained in Part 2 of Peter Robbins’s Special Report for Phenomena magazine. They can be seen on pages 109–116 and 121–122. The letters to Mark Birdsall are on pages 117 and 128. Congratulations and thanks to Peter Robbins and Stephen Mera of Phenomena magazine for making these valuable and little-known USAF documents publicly available, which helps us to form a more complete picture of the official response to the incident.
This looks like a plane, flying away from the camera considerably higher than the helicopter (somewhere around 15,000 to 25,000 feet), that briefly creates an aerodynamic contrail.
Based on analysis by @Trailblazer, @Trailspotter, myself, and others, There are likely TWO planes involved IB6830 and LA330. The plane that initially seems to fit best is LA330, a two engined A320, which was reported to be climbing through 20,000 feet at that exact visual position at 14:01:39. It was actually 65 miles away, not 35-50. This explain why it was not seen on radar (the actual plane was on radar, just not where they thought it was)
The second plane is IB6830 which left earlier, and was climbing out more to the south, nearer to the helicopter. At the time this was spotted (the very first sighting on the video, at 13:52:34) the plane was actually around 35 miles away. However it would very quickly get further away. By 13:57 it would be 65 miles away.
Plane Finder misreports the altitude in the web browser, likely because of some zero altitude ADS-B report. Inspecting the actual data packets reveals the real reported altitude. Repairing the data by interpolating the missing altitudes allows us to recreate 3D tracks in Google Earth with correct timestamps (attached). (Update 1-10-2016: Added Flightaware track)
We can now geolocate the LA330 and the other candidate (plane IB6830) in the helicopter image. Their tracks intersect in the region viewed in IR, they have correct slope, and appear in that region at the same time as they appear in the video.
And it is not simply that the tracks intersect. The planes are in exactly the right position. We can position both the planes and the chopper precisely with the GPS data, match the camera direction from the wide shot, and the position of the plane then matches exactly.
The two large blobs are flared images from the heat of the engines (much smaller in reality). You can see this effect with some candles if you view them from a distance.
The flaring is more apparent if you look at it uninverted. The engines appear as two very bright lights
The aerodynamic contrail starts ands stop in a similar way to the trail in this video (not a "chemtrail" though, this just a regular aerodynamic contrail)
There are a few different relevant images from the video:
This is a close-up of the object early in the video:
This shows that the plane is banked at this point - i.e. it is turning to the right (remember it is flying away from the camera). This matches the earlier part of the track for both LA330 and IB6830 (and is likely IB6830, based on the time). Compare it with this video of a plane taking off. It is much closer, however at the end of the video you see the two engines tilted at about the same angle as the "UFO" while the plane turns right.
At one point (9:08) they switch between the IR camera and a regular (visible light) camera. you can see the trail qute distinctly. It looks very like a contrail.
Why is it showing up as warmer? Aerodynamic contrails can form in air is that is water saturated, but in which no clouds have yet formed. The drop in pressure increases the relative humidity enough for a water condensation cloud to form. This can also freeze if the temperature is cold enough.
There's a couple of possibilities. Possibly we are seeing a water cloud aerodynamic contrail that has absorbed heat from the exhaust, temporarily making it warmer than the surroundings.
But a more likely possibility is that the dense contrail is simply reflecting heat. FLIR measures the temperature of things by the heat they emit, so if they are reflective then they can give a misleading reading. Clouds reflect heat, in one shot in the video the clouds seem like the same color as the jet exhaust (black). That does not mean they are the same temperature:
A few seconds later
[Note: this top post will be updated with information from the discussion below, so some of what follows may seem repetitive]
[Note on change from just LA330 to mostly IB6830 - I had originally identified the entire sequence as LA330 when I was working with only the image of the planes tracks from Planefinder.net. After I was able to extract the actual 3D tracks and view them from the position of the Chopper in google earth, it became apparent that IB6830 was the better fit (pretty much a perfect fit). However it did not fit the last short sequence, which still was best explained by LA330]

Q: If it was a plane then why did it not respond to hailing A: A pilot familiar with Santiago departure responds:
Q: Why did it not show up on radar? They were looking for a low flying object south of the airport about 35 miles away, by the time they looked it was at a high altitude and 65 miles away.
Q:How can it be a contrail cloud if it's as hot as the engine? A: It's not as hot as the engines, it's a similar color in the IR to other clouds in the images. It's just a denser cloud, and so reflects more radiation. Even if they were dumping boiling water it would have been atomized into a cloud cooled to ambient temperature in less than a minute. But this looks just like a contrail.
Q: Don't contrails only form above 30,000 feet? A: That's where exhaust contrails are most frequent. However this appear to be a semi persistent aerodynamic contrail which often form on climbing aircraft between 20,000 to 30,000 feet (and sometimes lower).
Q: Why should we trust your theory over the experts? A: I could argue I'm an expert too (at identifying planes and contrails), or that the CEFAA is really a UFOology group, or that even experts make mistakes. However let's drop that "Argument for authority", and look at facts you can verify yourself.
We have some very solid verifiable evidence in
The helicopter video with timestamps and GPS coordinates.
The IB6830 and LA330 ADS-B tracks with timestamps and GPS coordinates.
1 matches 2 in every way
The planes in the right place at the right place
They are going in the right direction
IB 6830 banks when the "UFO" banks,
The planes would create a visual thermal signature the same size as in the video.
The size of IB6830's thermal signature shrinks proportional to its distance, matching the video.
This is not my theory. These are verifiable facts that I (and others) simply discovered. Unless there was a UFO flying between the plane and the helicopter, mimicking the motion, the banking, the size and and the thermal signature of the plane, then it's a plane.

Koppel filmt ringvormige UFO boven Italië
Koppel filmt ringvormige UFO boven Italië
De Italiaanse muziekleraar Lucio Margiotta en zijn verloofde zagen maandag in de lucht boven Salento een fel licht in de nacht. Lucio nam er meteen zijn smartphone bij en filmde het bizarre fenomeen, dat een ringvormige UFO leek te zijn die na enkele minuten plots verdween.
In het filmpje zie je hoe de UFO van vorm verandert en zelfs lijkt te bewegen, al valt niet uit te sluiten dat de beweging te wijten is aan de manier van filmen. Het licht lijkt de vorm aan te nemen van een rookcirkel, voor het uiteindelijke in twee lijkt te splitsen en verdwijnt.
Margiotta zei dat het licht feller was dan de maan en uit het westen kwam. Dat zou overeen komen met verklaringen van mensen in het Turkse Gallipoli, ten westen van Salento, die het vliegende object ook gezien zouden hebben.
Op Facebook kwamen er al snel reacties op het filmpje van de man die zeiden dat de UFO in kwestie hoogstwaarschijnlijk de planeet Venus zou zijn, en dat de vervormingen het gevolg van de autofocus van zijn camera zouden kunnen zijn. Dat zorgt er wel vaker voor dat er een zwarte vlek verschijnt in het midden van het object waar op gefocust wordt.
The UFO sighting captured in the video occurred in 2014, when a Chilean naval helicopter captured 10 minutes of infrared footage of a mysterious craft from an estimated distance of 35 to 40 miles. But the blockbuster moment comes around minute eight of the footage, when the UFO releases a spurt of hot chemical vapor, projecting an immense black streak (indicating heat) across the frame.
Released by the Comité de Estudios de Fenómenos Aéreos Anómalos (CEFAA), a Chilean government agency within the civil aeronautics directorate, the original report by independent journalist Leslie Kean (author of the excellent book UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go On The Record) noted a possible explanation for the UFO raised by UFO video analysts Antoine Cousyn, François Louange and Geoff Quick of Ipaco.fr:
“The French analysts proposed that the object was a ‘medium-haul aircraft’ coming in for a landing into the Santiago airport, and ‘the effluent trail observed on two occasions probably results from dumping some cabin waste water, forming a plume oriented along the local wind blowing from the west.’ They based this on their calculation that the distance between the two hot spots was ‘consistent with the standard distance between the two jet engines of a medium-haul aircraft.’”
The IPACO conclusion is portrayed as unlikely and refuted at length:
“Chilean experts knew that this would have been impossible, for a number of reasons: This plane would have been seen on primary radar; it would have had to be cleared for landing in Santiago or at another airport; it would likely have responded to radio communications. Airplanes do not throw out water when landing. In fact, in Chile a plane wishing to eject any material must request permission from the DGAC before doing so; that regulation is widely known and respected. And, it seems unlikely that this experienced pilot would not have recognized this as an airplane, or at least kept that option open afterwards if it were a possibility.”
But while the original article makes the dissenting report seem faintly ridiculous, even condescending to the work of CEFAA, additional analysis by independent researchers at Metabunk.org authoritatively backs up the report’s conclusion: the Chile UFO video is likely footage of flight LA330, flying approximately 800 miles north from Santiago to the Cerro Moreno Airport.
Since the original report (available as a PDF here) is primarily a video analysis, little work was done beyond offering a plausible explanation for what’s seen on the video. This leads to the several deficiencies noted by Kean, including their conjectures regarding the vapor released by the UFO. However, Metabunk.org members Mick West, Trailblazer and Trailspotter uncovered a number of corroborating details that strengthen their case considerably.
Using publicly available data at planefinder.net, West and other Metabunk users uncovered two flight paths (LA330 and IB6830) that perfectly intersected the footage frame. They hypothesized that IB6830 accounts for the craft originally spotted by the pilots, but it’s LA330 seen in close-up in the video. But what about the other problems with the plane hypothesis, such as lack of radar confirmation and radio response?
According to their analysis, the biggest perceptual mistake was made when CEFAA and the pilots misestimated the craft’s distance. The flights they determined were responsible did show up on radar, just 15-30 miles further in the distance.
As for the craft not responding to a hail, here’s Metabunk user TWCobra, who claims to be a pilot familiar with Santiago departure protocols:
The helicopter seems to have tried to call on 121.5. The are a couple of problems with that, Most aircraft don't set that frequency until some time after takeoff which can vary from airline to airline, and if they were listening, unless whoever was calling used their callsign, they wouldn't respond.
They even proposed a new explanation for the chemical cloud released from the UFO, one more satisfying than dumped cabin waste water. No, not chemtrails, but an aerodynamic contrail.
But while their specific answers to objections raised by CEFAA may or may not satisfy, the ultimate conclusion seems near inescapable. West concludes, “unless there was a UFO flying between the plane and the helicopter, mimicking the motion, the banking, the size and and the thermal signature of the plane, then it's a plane.” Since both the original UFO footage has timestamps and GPS coordinates that match the timestamps and GPS coordinates for flights LA330 and IB6830 there can be little doubt that this UFO has gone from unidentified to identified.

De nachthemel gaat in 2022 veranderen
De nachthemel gaat in 2022 veranderen
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Een dubbelster zal in dat jaar fuseren en exploderen, waarna de ster ongeveer duizend keer helderder wordt en één van de helderste sterren aan de nachthemel is.
Tot die unieke voorspelling komen Amerikaanse onderzoekers. “De kans dat je een explosie kunt voorspellen is één op een miljoen. Het is nog nooit gedaan,” stelt onderzoeker Larry Molnar.
KIC 9832227 Het draait allemaal om de dubbelster KIC 9832227. “Twee sterren die een gezamenlijke atmosfeer hebben, net zoals twee pinda’s een dop delen,” legt Molnar uit. De twee sterren draaien om elkaar heen. En onderzoek wees eerder uit dat hun omlooptijd geleidelijk aan afneemt. Het wees er voorzichtig op dat de twee sterren naar elkaar toe aan het bewegen zijn, zo stelde Molnar begin 2015. Kortom: het leek erop dat deze twee sterren gingen fuseren.
Vervolgonderzoek Maar het was nog te vroeg om te stellen dat de twee sterren elkaar binnenkort tegen het lijf zouden lopen. Daarvoor was meer onderzoek nodig. En daar zijn Molnar en collega’s de afgelopen jaren mee bezig geweest. Zo kunnen ze nu aantonen dat de omlooptijd van de sterren de afgelopen twee jaar verder is afgenomen. “Conclusie is dat we echt denken dat onze fuserende sterren-hypothese nu serieus moet worden genomen en we de komende jaren moeten gebruiken om deze dubbelster intensief te bestuderen, zodat we – wanneer deze explodeert – weten wat tot deze explosie geleid heeft,” stelt Molnar.
Naar verwachting zullen de sterren in 2022 – of een jaartje eerder of later – fuseren en exploderen, zo voorspelt Molnar nu. Op dat moment zal de ster zo’n duizend keer helderder worden en één van de helderste sterren aan de nachthemel zijn. Matt Walhout, verbonden aan dezelfde universiteit als Molnar, maar niet betrokken bij het onderzoek: “Als de voorspelling klopt zullen ouders voor het eerst in de geschiedenis in staat zijn om te wijzen naar een donker plekje aan de hemel en te vertellen: “Kijk, kinderen daar verstopt zich een ster die binnenkort oplicht.”
ESO gaat op zoek naar exoplaneten rondom Alpha Centauri
ESO gaat op zoek naar exoplaneten rondom Alpha Centauri
Tim Kraaijvanger
We weten dat er een planeet draait om de nabij ster Proxima Centauri, maar geldt dit ook voor de ster Alpha Centauri? Dat gaan wetenschappers uitzoeken!
Het Alpha Centauri-stelsel bestaat uit drie sterren, waarvan Proxima Centauri de zwakste is. In 2016 ontdekten wetenschappers een exoplaneet bij de rode dwergster. De planeet Proxima b bevindt zich in de leefbare zone rondom Proxima Centauri, wat betekent dat het waarschijnlijk niet te warm en niet te koud is op het oppervlak van deze buitenaardse wereld. Vloeibaar water op het oppervlak is een mogelijkheid, wat de kans op de aanwezigheid van lezen aanzienlijk vergroot.
Breakthrough Starshot Filantroop Yuri Milner en de bekende wetenschapper Stephen Hawking willen in twintig jaar tijd een ruimtevaartuig naar het Alpha Centauri-stelsel sturen. Dit project wordt ook wel Breakthrough Starshot genoemd. Een reis van 4,37 lichtjaar, oftewel 40 biljoen kilometer. Hawking en Milner willen de omgeving rondom Alpha Centauri helemaal in kaart brengen, zodat hun ruimtevaartuig wellicht exoplaneten kan fotograferen.
Vandaar dat Hawking en Milner een overeenkomst hebben gesloten met de Europese Zuidelijke Sterrenwacht. Het VISAR-instrument van de Very Large Telescope wordt aangepast om planeten rondom de sterren van het Alpha Centauri-systeem te vinden. In 2019 zal het onderzoek beginnen.
Dichtbij, dus makkelijk? Nee hoor! Dit klinkt simpel, omdat de afstand tot Alpha Centauri maar vier lichtjaar is. Als een schoen vier meter bij je vandaan ligt, zie je die waarschijnlijk beter dan op een afstand van veertig meter. Hoewel een ster die dichterbij staat beter te zien is, geldt dit niet voor exoplaneten. Alpha Centauri staat namelijk zo dichtbij de aarde, dat de ster enorm helder is en dus het zwakke schijnsel van een eventuele exoplaneet overstraalt.
Mid-infrarood Gelukkig zijn er andere manieren om exoplaneten te vinden. Er kan uitgeweken worden naar de mid-infrarode golflengten, waar de thermische gloed van een planeet de helderheidskloof tussen hem en zijn moederster aanzienlijk verkleint. Maar ook dan is de moederster alsnog miljoenen keren helderder dan een eventuele exoplaneet.
Weg met het sterrenlicht Het mid-infraroodinstrument VISAR kan een trucje. Het instrument kan de beeldkwaliteit sterk vergroten, waarna het sterrenlicht deels wordt tegengehouden. Dit wordt coronagrafie genoemd. Dankzij deze techniek kunnen wellicht exoplaneten ontdekt worden, maar dan moeten ze er wel zijn. Hoe dan ook: Breaktrough Initiatives betaalt een groot deel van de ontwikkelingskosten van dit experiment, waar ESO uiteindelijk natuurlijk weer van profiteert voor andere onderzoeken. ESO zorgt ervoor dat het team van Hawking en Milner tijd krijgt om het instrument op locatie te gebruiken.
De ster passeert onze zon op veel kleinere afstand dan gedacht en zal tijdens zijn reis door de Oortwolk heel wat kometen in onze richting kaatsen.
De ster Gliese 710 haast zich richting ons zonnestelsel en zal over zo’n 1,35 miljoen jaar langs onze zon scheren. Grote vraag is natuurlijk: hoe dichtbij komt de ster precies? Daar is al veel onderzoek naar gedaan en uiteindelijk concludeerden wetenschappers dat deze op een minimale afstand van 59.817 AU (1 AU is de afstand tussen de aarde en de zon) langs de zon zou scheren.
Gaia Maar daar klopt niks van, zo schrijven onderzoekers nu in het blad Astronomy & Astrophysics. Ze baseren zich op nieuwe informatie, verzameld door ruimtetelescoop Gaia. Deze telescoop werd in 2013 gelanceerd en moet uiteindelijk de positie en snelheden van ongeveer 1 miljard sterren in onze Melkweg vaststellen. En Gaia heeft ook de positie en snelheid van Gliese 710 bestudeerd en op basis daarvan kunnen de onderzoekers de koers van de ster nauwkeuriger voorspellen. En wat blijkt? De ster komt véél dichterbij dan gedacht. De nieuwe data suggereert dat de ster onze zon op een minimale afstand van zo’n 13.365 AU (+/- 6250 AU) passeert. “Daarmee is het de ster die onze zon in een periode van 10 tot 20 miljoen jaar het dichtst nadert,” zo schrijven de onderzoekers.
Kometen En dat heeft gevolgen. “De ontmoeting met Gliese 710 zou geen significante invloed moeten hebben op de banen van de belangrijkste hemellichamen in het zonnestelsel, maar de ster zal een significante verstoorder van de kometen in de Oortwolk zijn,” zo voorspellen de onderzoekers. Ook dat is eigenlijk niets nieuws: wetenschappers hadden dat eerder ook al bedacht. Maar op basis van de nieuwe gegevens hebben onderzoekers ook de implicaties van het bezoek van Gliese 710 herzien. En hun verwachtingen liegen er niet om. “Gliese 710 zal een waarneembare kometenregen veroorzaken met een gemiddelde dichtheid van ongeveer 10 kometen per jaar en dat drie tot vier miljoen jaar lang.” De onderzoekers trekken die conclusie nadat ze ervan uit zijn gegaan dat de ster onze zon op zo’n 13365 AU passeert. “Maar we benadrukken dat de onzekerheid nog steeds zo’n 6250 AU is en krachtigere interacties dus mogelijk zijn.”
Het onderzoek laat de grote waarde van de Gaia-missie zien, zo stellen de onderzoekers. Dankzij de missie kunnen we veel accurater voorspellen waar sterren zich in de toekomst gaan begeven en welke invloed ze op onze omgeving gaan hebben. “Op minimale afstand (van de zon, red.) zal deze ster het helderste en snelste object dat buiten ons zonnestelsel gevormd is, aan de nachthemel zijn. De scheervlucht van Gliese 710 zal een enorme stroom van nieuwe kometen genereren en velen zullen in staat zijn om de binnenste delen van het zonnestelsel te bereiken.”
Hubble voorspelt wat de Voyager-sondes allemaal tegen gaan komen
Hubble voorspelt wat de Voyager-sondes allemaal tegen gaan komen
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Voyager 1 zal bijvoorbeeld over zo’n 40.000 jaar op zo’n 1,6 lichtjaar afstand langs ster Gliese 445 zoeven.
De ruimtesondes Voyager 1 en Voyager 2 werden in 1977 gelanceerd en haasten zich met meer dan 61.000 kilometer per uur door de ruimte. Voyager 1 is inmiddels bijna 21 miljard kilometer van de aarde verwijderd en zoeft door de interstellaire ruimte: het gebied tussen de sterren dat onder meer gevuld is met gas en stof. Voyager 2 is inmiddels bijna 17 miljard kilometer van ons verwijderd.
Hubble Terwijl de sondes zich van ons vandaan haasten, bestuderen ze het materiaal dat hen omringt. Maar wat gaan zij in de toekomst nog meer tegenkomen? Dankzij ruimtetelescoop Hubble hebben we daar nu een iets beter beeld van. De ruimtetelescoop bekeek het materiaal op en langs de route van de ruimtesondes.

Context “De Voyagers bestuderen kleine gebieden terwijl ze zich met zo’n 61.000 kilometer per uur door de ruimte haasten,” vertelt onderzoeker Seth Redfield. “Maar we hebben geen idee of deze kleine gebieden heel gewoon of zeldzaam zijn. De Hubble-observaties geven ons een breder beeld, omdat de telescoop langs een langer en breder pad kijkt. Dus Hubble voorziet ons van context bij alles waar de Voyagers doorheen bewegen.”
De toekomst Uit het onderzoek blijkt dat Voyager 1 over zo’n 40.000 jaar – de sonde is dan natuurlijk allang niet meer operationeel – op zo’n 1,6 lichtjaar afstand langs de ster Gliese 445 glijdt. Voyager 2 zal zover zo’n 40.000 jaar op een afstand van zo’n 1,7 lichtjaar langs de ster Ross 248 glijden. Deze sonde zal over een paar duizend jaar bovendien de interstellaire wolk die ons zonnestelsel omringt, verlaten. Vervolgens zal deze zo’n 90.000 jaar op rij in een tweede interstellaire wolk vertoeven alvorens een derde interstellaire wolk binnen te gaan. De observaties van Hubble suggereren dat de elementen waaruit de interstellaire wolken zijn opgebouwd van wolk tot wolk ietsje verschillen “Deze variaties kunnen betekenen dat de wolken op verschillende manieren of op verschillende plekken zijn ontstaan en daarna samen zijn gekomen,” stelt Redfield.
De observaties van Hubble geven niet alleen context aan wat de Voyagers (gaan) zien, ze geven ook een beter beeld van wat onderzoeker Julia Zachary “de lokale interstellaire omgeving” noemt. Zeker wanneer we ze combineren met wat de Voyagers – die nog zo’n 10 jaar in staat zijn om gegevens te verzamelen en naar de aarde te sturen – allemaal ‘zien’.
Venus has some spooky looking clouds swirling around its atmosphere, and scientists think it might be the evil doing of extraterrestrial life. Certain dark streaks embedded in those clouds have been stumping scientists since the 1960s, prompting a new proposal to probe the second planet from the sun for potential alien life by 2025.
A team of American and Russian scientists will be submitting plans for a new mission, known as Venera-D, which will send an unmanned aerial vehicle into the heart of this mysterious occurrence. If accepted, Venera-D would be a joint endeavor between Roscosmos (Russia’s space agency) and NASA.
Their main goal is to determine if those dark streaks could be evidence of microbial life. For decades now, scientists have been dreaming up all kinds of hypotheses about the streaks: Some think it could be particulates, like iron or sulfur, that have mixed with the clouds. Others think it could actually be ice, though with a planet that’s nearly 900 degrees Fahrenheit on the surface, that’s probably not the case.
“I cannot say that there is microbial life in Venus’ clouds,” Sanjay Limaye toldAstrobiology Magazine, an atmospheric scientist from the University of Wisconsin, Madison and member of the Venera-D science definition team. “But that doesn’t mean it’s not there either. The only way to learn is to go there and sample the atmosphere.”
As Limaye pointed out, scientists have very few clues as to what causes the streaks. But they do know that the streaks absorb ultraviolet light unlike the rest of the atmosphere. They also know that if the streaks did consist of microbial life, they might have a protective layer of ring-shaped polymers, which would stave off large quantities of sulfuric acid. Another factor to consider is the planet’s super rotation, a phenomenon that occurs when the atmosphere rotates at a faster pace than the surface.
There have been previous complications with exploring Venus in the past. Its high surface pressure and even higher temps make it a very challenging landscape for our technology. Mariner 5 was the first successful landing, but it only survived for 93 minutes. For Venera-D to be successful, it will have to be like nothing scientists have ever created before.

The proposed design calls for a solar-powered vehicle that would be able to propel through the clouds to collect data at night. During the day, it would have helium reserves that would allow it to stay buoyant without using power. It would also have large wings that would help it navigate the stormy conditions. These mechanisms would allow the craft to shift between different altitudes of the atmosphere.
Surprisingly, with this design, the team thinks the vehicle will be able to survive for a year or more, offering up enough information for scientists to potentially confirm whether we have other life in our solar system or not. Unfortunately, we won’t have a response from NASA or Roscomos until late this year.
Rogue planets just had their unfortunate introduction to the public consciousness via an especially silly conspiracy theory involving a collision and the subsequent end of the world. Let us not allow that to bury the actual new research coming forth about them, because that’s what’s really worth your time.
Researchers testing whether a much-mythologized object called Planet Ninemight indeed be a captured rogue planet found it certainly looks like one. They also performed simulations of various different kinds of rogue encounters with our solar system; they found that if the rogue had a mass equal to or greater than that of Jupiter, it could subsequently leave a physical impact on the configuration of the entire system. James Vesper of New Mexico State University presented the research Friday at the 229th American Astronomical Science meeting in Grapevine, Texas.
We can easily picture the stars that don’t have planets, but it’s a bit odd to imagine in inverse (sorry) — free-floating planets rolling around in space, not tethered by any kind of regular orbit, either because they’ve escaped their original host star or because they never formed around one to begin with. Those planets are rogue planets, and they’re often prone to being “captured” by a new star when they wander into its system.
Vesper said their data showed 60 percent of all rogue encounters being “slingshotted” into the galaxy — they come in close to the sun and then shoot right back out. About ten percent of these encounters take one or more planets out with them. If two or more planets are knocked out — but the rogue is captured — Vesper refers to the exchange as a “kick and stay.”
Suffice it to say rogue planets can mess things up in a variety of ways.
There are scores of rogue planets in our galaxy — possibly numbering in the billions — and a handful relatively close to our own solar system. There are enough to possibly provide an explanation for some of the dark matter in the Milky Way’s disc, and they actually outnumber stars.
Children return to school after Christmas break to discover a UFO has landed in the school grounds
A strange flying saucer-like craft has landed in the grounds of Sibford School near Banbury in Oxfordshire. Children returned after the Christmas break to discover that an unidentified flying object had crashed into their Forest School area
By the time the children arrived, the scene of the crash had been cordoned off with police tape and investigations are on-going as to how and why the space ship came to land at Sibford.
Junior School Head, Edward Rossiter said: “To say the children were surprised would be an understatement! We had received reports of strange sounds and flashes being seen in the sky overnight but the scene at the crash site and the size of the craft was incredible and really left the children in awe.”
Traditionally, Sibford Junior School marks the first half of the Spring Term with a creative curriculum where by all lessons are centred around a central theme.
In the past, topics have included Beneath the Waves and The Rainforest and, as luck would have it, the theme for 2017 is Out of this World!
Said Edward Rossiter: “I suspect it will take the children a good five weeks to really get to the bottom of what happened here!”
