CIA explored use of psychic in Lockerbie bombing probe
CIA explored use of psychic in Lockerbie bombing probe
CIA explored use of psychic in Lockerbie bombing probe
DECLASSIFIED documents have revealed the CIA wanted to see if a psychic could replicate key aspects of the Lockerbie bombing.
Some 13 million pages of files were released online last week for the first time, including CIA interest in Edinburgh paranormal research.
Now it has emerged the 930,000 files also include asking a subject to describe a photo of the reconstructed baggage carrier that held the plane’s bomb.
“Filed under special access required”, the notes are headed: “Warning notice: Intelligence sources and methods involved.”
Pan Am Flight 103 was brought down by the device on December 21, 1988, killing all 259 people on board and a further 11 people on the ground.
The CIA’s psychic tests relating to Lockerbie were carried out on June 7, 1990 at an unknown location and filed under Project Sun Streak, successor to the controversial Stargate project.
Another released CIA document outlines Sun Streak’s mission as “dealing with the use of psychoenergetics in the collection of intelligence information”.
It describes “Psychoenergetics” as psychokinesis – physical actions performed by mental powers – and perceptions that cannot be explained by non-sensory means, such as telepathy.
Parameters of the Lockerbie test outline using “tangibles and intangibles of more than one word”, as well as “probing sketches”.
What follows is 22 pages of photocopied scrawled notes and drawings together with a typed account of the session.
The article refers to the cassette player in which Semtex explosive was hidden.
The typed notes from the session retained by the CIA say: “The stuff inside it is light, smooth, stringy, air, and it is moving down, making a ‘whoosh’ sound. It is speeding up as it goes down and out. It makes me want to throw up.”
Describing the cylindrical shape in a box, the account continues: “There is a bomb in the box and it explodes.”
CIA gebruikte helderzienden bij onderzoek Lockerbie-aanslag
CIA gebruikte helderzienden bij onderzoek Lockerbie-aanslag
Vrijgegeven documenten onthullen dat de CIA bij het onderzoek naar de Lockerbie-aanslag een helderziende heeft ingezet. Dat schrijft de Schotse krant The Herald.
Eind vorige maand openbaarde de Amerikaanse spionagedienst 13 miljoen pagina’s, waaronder stukken over paranormaal onderzoek in Schotland.
De persoon in kwestie werd gevraagd een foto van het gereconstrueerde bagageruim waarin de bom lag te beschrijven.
Psycho-energetica
Pam Am-vlucht 103, een Boeing 747, werd op 21 december 1988 boven het Schotse plaatsje Lockerbie uiteengereten. Alle 259 inzittenden en 11 mensen op de grond kwamen om het leven.
De experimenten die de CIA met de helderziende deed werden op 7 juni 1990 uitgevoerd op een onbekende locatie en maakten deel uit van Project Sun Streak, de opvolger van het controversiële Stargate-project.
Sun Streak richtte zich op het gebruik van psycho-energetica om inlichtingen te verzamelen, zo valt te lezen in het archief van de CIA.
Telekinese
Het uitgangspunt van psycho-energetica is dat alles – mens, plant en dier – bestaat uit energie. Deze levensenergie is een afspiegeling van onze mentale, emotionele en lichamelijke staat.
In het document wordt psycho-energetica omschreven als telekinese, fysieke acties uitgevoerd met behulp van mentale krachten, en telepathie.
Het stuk verwijst naar een cassettespeler waarin de explosieven waren verborgen.
Bom
Tijdens de sessie zei de helderziende: “Het spul is licht, glad, prikt, lucht, het beweegt omlaag, het maakt een sissend geluid. Het versnelt en gaat omlaag. Het maakt me misselijk.”
De helderziende beschreef het cilindervormige voorwerp in een doos: “Er zit een bom in de doosen die ontploft.”

Giant Disk Seen Orbiting Earth Over Melbourne, Australia On Feb 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Giant Disk Seen Orbiting Earth Over Melbourne, Australia On Feb 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: February 3, 2017 Location of sighting: Melbourne, Australia This UFO was caught by UFO Lou of Youtube. He lives in Australia and used a night vision scope to capture this footage. At 2:49 into the footage you see a large UFO moving in Earths orbit. The UFO is too slow to be a meteor and too big to be a satellite and is shaped like a classic disk. Amazing thing to see in night vision isn't it? Scott C. Waring
Famous Astronomer Clyde Tombaugh Personal UFO Sighting, Man Who Discovered Pluto, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Famous Astronomer Clyde Tombaugh Personal UFO Sighting, Man Who Discovered Pluto, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Tombaugh was probably the preeminent astronomer to have reported seeing Unidentified Flying Objects. On August 20, 1949, Tombaugh saw several UFOs near Las Cruces, New Mexico. He described them as six to eight rectangular lights, stating "I doubt that the phenomenon was any terrestrial reflection, because... nothing of the kind has ever appeared before or since... I was so unprepared for such a strange sight that I was really petrified with astonishment." Tombaugh was also later to report having seen three of the mysterious Green Fireballs, which suddenly appeared over New Mexico in late 1948 and continued at least through the early 1950s. In 1956 Tombaugh had the following to say about his various sightings: "I have seen three objects in the last seven years which defied any explanation of known phenomenon, such as Venus, atmospheric optic, meteors or planes. I am a professional, highly skilled, professional astronomer. In addition I have seen three green fireballs which were unusual in behavior from normal green fireballs...I think that several reputable scientists are being unscientific in refusing to entertain the possibility of extraterrestrial origin and nature." In 1949, Tombaugh had also told the Naval missile director at White Sands Missile Range, Commander Robert McLaughlin, that he had seen a bright flash on Mars in August 1941, which he now attributed to an atomic blast (mentioned May 12, 1949, in a letter from McLaughlin to Dr. James van Allen). [3] Tombaugh also noted that the first atomic bomb tested in New Mexico would have lit up the dark side of the Earth like a neon sign and that Mars was coincidentally quite close at the time, the implication apparently being that the atomic test would have been visible from Mars. In June 1952, Dr. J. Allen Hynek, an astronomer acting as a scientific consultant to the Air Force's Project Blue Book UFO study, secretly conducted a survey of fellow astronomers on UFO sightings and attitudes while attending an astronomy convention. Tombaugh and four other astronomers told Hynek about their sightings, including Dr. Lincoln La Paz of the University of New Mexico. Tombaugh also told Hynek that his telescopes were at the Air Force's disposal for taking photos of UFOs, if he was properly alerted.
Mass UFO activity over Las Vegas, Nevada 28-Jan-2017
Mass UFO activity over Las Vegas, Nevada 28-Jan-2017
Another amazing footage by Youtube user Steven Barone. These sightings happened on 28th January 2017 over Las Vegas, Nevada. Check out the one at 22 minutes!
Witness report:
I shot this video from my backyard in the Summerlin area of Las Vegas, Nevada on the night of January 28, 2017. They could have been brighter at times but I was very happy to see that a group of UFOs had returned to the Black Mountains in Henderson, Nevada. It has been six months or so since I last observed UFOs in groups over in this spot. I left the video running at actual speed even though it’s more than thirty minutes long because of suggestions I have been getting from viewers. It should have occurred to me to turn the night vision camera on earlier. No doubt some folks will claim that these are ATVs moving around on the mountain but they aren’t. What gives that away is the fact that the UFOs are lining up in a perfectly horizontal row on several occasions which would be nearly impossible if they were on the ground because the terrain on the mountain is so uneven. I think that there is an excellent possibility that these UFOs belong to the same group I film regularly in the Blue Diamond Hills on the west side of the valley closer to my home.
Here’s a new footage of an unidentified flying objects flying across the sky above Fort Myers, Florida. This was filmed on 1st February
Witness report:
4 objects appeared, fifth came around 20 sec. later. 4 moved in formation. Then sep. moving south. Not drones. I came out of work at app. 1125pm est on break. East side of parking lot. Saw first object through trees app. 20 degrees moving towards me. Thought it was work helicopter, then app. 5 sec later 3 more objects came behind first one. Hurried and snapped 2 pictures while walking towards middle of parking, heading east. Thought then it was drones but objects made no noise and started turning south while ascending to app. 250-300ft. Snapped another picture from middle of parking, looked to see if anyone else was out there, heard voices but didnt see anyone. Started recording video then and continued walking towards end/ back of the east parking area. Thats when 5th object appeared still from east but this one was heading more sw, 4 object were now heading south, at this time heard what sounded like a shotgun. Stopped recording, got in car pulled on work road and started driving down bacck side of work heading south, objects were now about 500 to 750 feet up, there was low clouds moving through area at this time, 5th object was still catching up to other 4, i was looking out left side driver window, trying to get to darker area of work, object moved higher into clouds. There was no erratic movement, thought maybe they might have been chinese lanterns. They moved smooth and when they turned south still maintained stright line movement but gradual ascension. Didn’t get opportunity to record again, whole episode lasted between 5 to 10 minutes, about 1/8th of a mile east is open grazing field areas, maybe 1/4 mile is cow fields, all east and south of where i work. Airport is further east, about 2 miles. Wasnt windy out, light breeze, about 42 degrees f. Went back into work, showed coworkers pictures and video, asked what they thought, all said not drones or lanterns, or plane or helicopter,
National Leader Urged The U.N. To Take A Serious Look On UFO Sightings
National Leader Urged The U.N. To Take A Serious Look On UFO Sightings
WikiLeaks has revealed that a national leader went to the UN with proof of UFOs. Grenadian PM Sir Eric Gairy reportedly came before the U.N. in 1978 hearing with strong personal conviction that UFOs are real and of global importance and significance.
The PM stressed the need for the UN to take responsibilities and a serious consideration of the UFO phenomenon happening on many parts of the world.
A leaked diplomatic cable released by WikiLeaks with evidence of a remarkable chapter in the history of U.N. revealed that Grenadian PM Sir Eric Gairy addressed the special political committee on Agenda Item 126 and proposed a resolution that would establish a group of expert to set guidelines for U.N. UFO Study.
Dr. Friday followed PM Gairy and four other speakers, who argued in favor of a U.N. clearing house for data exchanges and UFO research coordination.
A short film supplemented the speakers. It consisted of motion and still pictures spliced together to show actual UFO sightings.
According to a 2014 Harris poll, 77% pf Americans believe that there’s evidence extraterrestrials or space aliens have visited planet Earth.
Conspiracy theorists think that the U.S. government has concealed the facts on UFOs and aliens from the public for many decades.
Florida Woman Notices Streaking UFO While Waiting For A Rocket Launch
Florida Woman Notices Streaking UFO While Waiting For A Rocket Launch
An unnamed witness at Titusville in Florida reported seeing an oval-shaped flying across the sky shrouded in what she described a bright, meteor-like light while waiting for the launch of an Atlas V rocket. The report is filed in Case 81674 in the witness reporting database of Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).
According to the report, the strange event took place on January 19, 2017, at around 8 in the evening. The reporting witness, together with her husband, was in the viewing bleachers for the Atlas V rocket launch, which carries a missile-detecting satellite.
The witness said that it came to her mind that UFOs sometimes show in launches, so she decided to look at the sky while standing in the bleachers. She looked towards the east when she spotted nearby a brilliant, yellow-green, wide light. She yelled to call the attention of some other people sitting in the bleachers, but the UFO was so fast that many had missed it. She said that the woman behind her thought it was just a meteor. However, she was convinced there was something in it.
Just before the streak of light disappeared, the reporting witness claimed she saw part of something metallic with a seam and shape that was rounded. However, she only observed a small part of the object as the yellow/green light obscured most areas.
The launch was canceled because of a wayward aircraft in the rocket’s flight path. They all got on the buses and left, but she was still filled with excitement as she believed she had a UFO sighting. She reportedly checked the internet and could not find any record of a meteor when she noticed the UFO.
Op Ceres is slechts één ijsvulkaan te vinden. Ahuna Mons steekt vier kilometer boven het oppervlak van de dwergplaneet uit. Waar zijn de andere ijsvulkanen gebleven?
Onderzoekers vermoeden dat Ceres miljoenen jaren geleden meer ijsvulkanen had, maar dat deze in de loop van de tijd zijn verdwenen. Niet door erosie, zoals vulkanen en bergen op aarde, maar omdat ze als een pudding zijn ingezakt.
Ieder vast object kan vloeien. De snelheid waarmee dit gebeurt verschilt echter per object. Wanneer je een emmer water in je woonkamer giet, dan vloeit het water direct weg. Wanneer je eenzelfde hoeveelheid klei op de vloer smijt, vloeit dit minder snel weg. Dit komt omdat klei visceus is en dus moeilijk van vorm verandert. Maar als je heel lang kijkt, zul je zien dat zelfs klei uiteindelijk een andere vorm aanneemt.
Dit geldt ook voor waterijs. Waterijs kan van vorm veranderen en zich verplaatsen zonder te smelten. Dit is bijvoorbeeld hoe gletsjers op aarde bewegen. Ceres bestaat voor een groot deel uit waterijs, dus het oppervlak kan hier dus ook stromen. Maar omdat het waterijs visceus is, verandert het heel traag van vorm.
Ahuna Mons: een steenpuist op het relatief egale oppervlak van Ceres.
Stroperige ijsvulkanen Het oppervlak van Ceres verandert sneller dan het oppervlak van ijsmanen als Europa, Titan, Triton en Enceladus. “Dit komt vooral door hitte”, zegt wetenschapper Michael Sori. “Als je een potje honing opwarmt in de magnetron, dan stroomt honing veel sneller dan op kamertemperatuur.” Ceres is 410 miljoen kilometer van de zon verwijderd, wat dichterbij is dan de ijsmanen van de gasplaneten.
Mogelijk zijn alle ijsvulkanen, met uitzondering van Ahuna Mons, in de loop der jaren verdwenen. Ahuna Mons is een jonge vulkaan van slechts 200 miljoen jaar oud. Waarschijnlijk is er nog niet genoeg tijd geweest om de ijsvulkaan te laten krimpen.
Andere ijsvulkanen Als er ooit meerdere ijsvulkanen zijn geweest op Ceres, dan zijn hier mogelijk nog sporen van te zien. Astronomen hebben mogelijk al een ingezakte ijsvulkaan op het oog. Het gaat om een platte koepel onder Ahuna Mons, die in een periode van 500 miljoen jaar is ingezakt. Wellicht is Ahuna Mons niet alleen…
In de periode van 2004 tot 2010 heeft ESA’s Mars Express 32 foto’s gemaakt van de noordpool van de rode planeet. Wetenschappers hebben de foto’s samengevoegd, waardoor een prachtig mozaïek is ontstaan.
Mars heeft een permanente ijskap. Dit betekent dat het topje van de planeet altijd wit is. Toch neemt de dikte van de ijskap in de winter met een meter toe, omdat de temperaturen dan flink dalen. Ongeveer dertig procent van de koolstofdioxide in de atmosfeer van Mars dwarrelt dan namelijk neer op de ijskap.
Op dit moment is het winter op de noordpool van Mars. Dit betekent dat de ijskap lekker dik is. In de warmere zomermaanden sublimeert het koolstofdioxideijs en komt het in de atmosfeer terecht. Het onderliggende waterijs blijft dan nog wel liggen.
Corioliseffect De ijskap op de noordpool heeft een duidelijke spiraalstructuur. Deze structuur is veroorzaakt door wind. Wind waait van het centrum naar de randen va de poolkap, maar omdat de planeet draait, is er sprake van een dwarskracht. Dit wordt het corioliseffect genoemd. Dit treedt ook op bij orkanen. Hierdoor lijken de wolkenmassa’s rond een orkaan op de ijskap op Mars.
Gigantische kloof Een van de hoogtepunten van het mozaïek is een 500 kilometer lange kloof, die twee kilometer diep is. Van boven lijkt het net alsof de ijskap in tweeën is gesplitst. Deze kloof wordt Chasma Boreale genoemd.
Twee kilometer dik De Europese ruimtevaartorganisatie meldt dat de ijskap van Mars uit meerdere lagen van ijs en stof bestaat en ongeveer twee kilometer dik is.
Ruimtesonde Cassini komt met de beste foto’s die ooit van de buitenste ringen van Saturnus zijn gemaakt. De details zijn ongelofelijk!
Cassini maakte de foto’s tijdens zijn ‘Ring-Grazing Orbits‘. Tijdens deze fase van de missie scheert Cassini twintig keer op zeer kleine afstand langs de buitenste ringen. Het leverde eerder al prachtige foto’s op van de maantjes die zich hier ophouden (bekijk deze foto’s hier en hier). En nu resulteert het dus in adembenemende close-up foto’s van de ringen zelf.
Afbeelding: NASA / JPL-Caltech / Space Science Institute.
Details Het zijn de meest gedetailleerde foto’s die ooit van de buitenste ringen zijn gemaakt. De kleinste details op de foto’s zijn slechts 550 meter groot.
Een deel van de B-ring. Je ziet tal van witte vlekjes die ontstaan door onder meer kosmische straling nabij de planeet. Afbeelding: NASA / JPL-Caltech / Space Science Institute.
Er gebeurt van alles Van een afstandje zien de ringen van Saturnus er heel vredig en rustig uit. Maar de nieuwe beelden laten zien dat er van alles in de ringen gebeurt. Zo zijn op de foto’s tal van kleine verstoringen in de ringen te zien. Deze worden ook wel ‘propellers’ genoemd en ontstaan door de aanwezigheid van kleine, nog niet waargenomen maantjes. En dan zijn er ook nog de grotere manen die met hun zwaartekracht trekken aan de deeltjes waaruit de ringen zijn opgebouwd.
Hier zie je de A-ring. De ‘propellers’ zijn omcirkeld. Afbeelding: NASA / JPL-Caltech / Space Science Institute.
De komende maanden zal Cassini de buitenste ringen nog verder bestuderen. Eind april breekt dan een nieuwe – en laatste – fase in de ruimtemissie aan. Dan zal Cassini herhaaldelijk in de ruimte tussen Saturnus en zijn ringen duiken. Aan die missiefase komt eind september een einde wanneer Cassini – na zo’n twintig jaar werkzaam te zijn geweest – opdracht krijgt om zich in de atmosfeer van Saturnus te boren.
Hier zie je de buitenste rand van de B-ring. Het randje wordt in beroering gebracht door Mimas die aan de deeltjes waaruit het buitenste deel van de ring is opgebouwd, trekt. Afbeelding: NASA / JPL-Caltech / Space Science Institute.
Het klonk als een superidee: met een zonnezeil naar de dichtstbijzijnde planeet Proxima b reizen. Maar hoe gaan we remmen?
In april vorig jaar kwamen Stephen Hawking en Yuri Milner met een geweldig idee: een ruimtereis naar de sterren die het dichtst bij de aarde staan, het Alpha Centauri-systeem. Deze sterren zijn zo’n 4,3 lichtjaar – oftewel 40 biljoen kilometer – van ons verwijderd. Hawking en Milner willen dat hun ruimtevaartuig niet meer dan twintig jaar over de reis doet. Het betekent dat het een snelheid van zo’n 60.000 kilometer per seconde moet hebben. Het klinkt onmogelijk, maar het kan, zo stellen Hawking en Milner, met behulp van licht. Ze stelden voor om het ruimtevaartuig aan te drijven met behulp van een groot, dun zeil dat door een gigantische laserstraal vanaf de aarde wordt voortgejaagd. Gaandeweg zal het zeil een steeds hogere snelheid krijgen.
Straling Een fantastisch idee, dat nog interessanter werd toen onderzoekers eind 2016 aankondigden dat rond één van de sterren in het Alpha Centauri-systeem – Proxima Centauri – een aardachtige planeet draait. Maar hoe gaan we – eenmaal aangekomen bij Alpha Centauri – remmen? Over die vraag hebben onderzoekers van het Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research zich nu gebogen. En ze stellen voor om de straling van de Alpha Centauri-sterren te gebruiken om de sonde af te remmen. Net zoals straling gebruikt wordt om het zonnezeil op snelheid te brengen, kan deze immers ook worden ingezet om het zeil te vertragen. De aanpak van de wetenschappers heeft echter één nadeel: ons geduld wordt op de proef gesteld. Zo duurt de reis naar het Alpha Centauri-systeem veel langer. Al snel zo’n 100 jaar.
VERGEET DIE LASER!
De onderzoekers stellen tevens voor om het zeil niet voort te drijven met behulp van een energieverslindende laser. In plaats daarvan zou de straling van de zon gebruikt moeten worden om het zeil op snelheid te brengen. Het betekent echter dat het zeil de zon tot een afstand van zo’n 5 keer de straal van de zon zal moeten naderen.
Afgeremd In hun berekeningen gaan de onderzoekers uit van een ruimtesonde die minder dan 100 gram weegt en vastzit aan een 100.000 m2 groot zeil. Terwijl de sonde Alpha Centauri nadert, wordt deze steeds meer afgeremd door de straling van de ster. Als de sonde de ster Alpha Centauri A als eerste tot zo’n 4 miljoen kilometer nadert en daarbij een maximumsnelheid van zo’n 13.800 kilometer per seconde heeft, zou deze zijn doel niet voorbij schieten, zo wijzen berekeningen uit.
Zwaartekracht Alpha Centauri A heeft echter niet alleen met zijn straling invloed op de sonde. Ook de zwaartekracht van de ster speelt een rol en kan gebruikt worden om de sonde een zwiep te geven, zodat deze ook één van de andere sterren in het systeem kan bezoeken.
De onderzoekers zien het al helemaal voor zich. De sonde nadert ster A. Deze remt de sonde af en zwiept de sonde naar Alpha Centauri B. Daar zou de sonde een paar dagen later arriveren, weer worden afgeremd en vervolgens naar Proxima Centauri worden geschopt. Daar zou de sonde dan zo’n 46 jaar later – 140 jaar nadat deze gelanceerd is – aankomen.
UFO discourse is shrouded in mystery, intrigue, and a large dose of eccentricity. Mainstream media typically refuses to engage with the UFO topic, so UFO researchers and enthusiasts are generally left to congregate in the dark corners of the internet looking for scraps of reliable information to add to their repertoire. It should come as no surprise that when a massive collection of UFO related information emerges from Wikileaks, the UFO crowd begins to frenzy. While Wikileaks is not constrained by the forces that restrict mainstream media, is the Wikileaks effect good for the study of the UFO question?
A few days ago, Rob Waugh of The Metro published a story in regards to a ‘Wikileaked’ diplomatic cable from 1978 in which Sir Eric Gairy, the former Prime Minister of Granada, approached the United Nations with a request for a formal investigation into UFOs. Part of the cable states,
[Gairy] had come to New York to present the item because of his ‘deep personal conviction’ that the subject of UFOs was one of ‘world-wide importance and significance’ and indeed, one which warranted very serious consideration by the United Nations.
Sir Eric Gairy
While dated, the story did get good circulation through UFO communities, but it raises an important question; is this cable Ufologically valuable, and transitively, does the massive collection of Wikileaks UFO data, from cables to emails, actually help in solving the UFO riddle? Answering this question requires a quick look back into the historical relationship between Wikileaks itself and UFOs.
Wikileaks exploded into cultural and social consciousness over six years ago when it posted hundreds of thousands of raw secret US government documents concerning the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. What soon followed were a quarter of a million classified diplomatic cables, many of which were quite damaging, and the general understanding that no one, no matter how high up they were in government, was safe from having their dirty laundry aired.
As time went on, and Wikileaks continued to release documents, UFO researchers began to search the Wikileaks archive for any mention of UFOs. From curious cables and messages regarding the planet Nibiru, to UFO cult recruiting practices, to even a city mayor referring to ‘life on other planets’– the content on Wikileaks created significant buzz in the UFO world.
However, the biggest surge of UFO data came in 2016. Leaked emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager and known UFO enthusiast John Podesta, infamously known as The Podesta E-mails, took center stage as the Presidential elections were in full swing. While the bulk of the content was not UFO related, it did not take long for UFO researchers to begin digging into the collection to find as much UFO content as possible.
Tom DeLonge, featured in Rolling Stone Magazine
One of the most intriguing revelations from the e-mails concerns Tom DeLonge of Blink 182 fame, and his meetings with Podesta as well as other high ranking American military officials. In one of the emails to Podesta, DeLonge stated that he wanted to set up a meeting between himself, Podesta, and officials who were,
…principal leadership relating to our sensitive topic…in charge of most fragile divisions, as it relates to Classified Science and DOD topics.
In another email, one of these officials is named as General William McCasland. DeLonge writes,
When Roswell crashed, they shipped it to the laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. General McCasland was in charge of that exact laboratory up to a couple years ago… he not only knows what I’m trying to achieve, he helped assemble my advisory team…he’s a very important man.
The Podesta E-mails contained a lot of UFO related material, which is to be expected since the man is interested in the topic. DeLonge’s messages are just one sample from a long list. However, the result of these leaked emails secured the UFO community’s infatuation with Wikileaks as a legitimate source for information.
It was a sort of rallying call. UFO researchers finally had an organization with a household name behind them. This wasn’t some small UFO news website which catered to a small crowd; this was Wikileaks, a giant and powerful internet presence which made headline news almost on a daily basis. This was, and still is today, nothing short of alluring for a subculture relegated to the social fringe. Alluring is not always good, however. The Wikileaks effect has done to UFOs what it has done to every other cultural topic; it has blurred the lines between facts researched within context, and dumped information devoid of context.
A still shot of a “real” alien taken from a YouTube video claiming to be from the “Deep Web.” A bit of research provides a more dubious source from hoaxers.
It isn’t that Wikileaks is good or bad, but it has changed the game. UFO discourse now has access to more data, but that data is not fact checked or researched before being released. It is simply raw, and anyone can spin that information to suit their own beliefs or agenda. Some of that raw information on Wikileaks may be useful in the search for truth, and some has and will be used by charlatans to line their own pockets or boost their own egos. People need to remain critical.
Diplomatic cables posted out of context are not facts, and emails in regards to one man’s opinions and beliefs are not evidence. The radical transparency Wikileaks attempts to provide is most definitely here to stay, but those who study the UFO question must be weary, as it’s easy to become blinded. Nothing on Wikileaks has led to concrete evidence that proves UFOs are anything more than their acronym. Perhaps one day, UFO researchers will find the holy grail hidden in the Wikileaks data archive, but until then, they need to be more critical of the information they pull from the massive data dump. As Podesta tweeted in 2014, #thetruthisstilloutthere.
The unnamed dog walker has sent the video to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) which investigates such sightings.
In a report to the anonymous man said: "I first noticed the object because it flew from over the field across my house.
"I had no idea what to think about the object when I first saw it, my only instinct was to get out my phone and start recording because it definitely wasn't something I had ever seen before.
"It flew quite quickly in a straight pattern over and away from my house.
"It was shaped like a dome with a slight point on top, and some type of string like appendage hanging from it.
It's hard to understand the shape of the object in few seconds and whit this low quality, but it could be a hang glider, a glider or a kite.

"My feelings on the object are quite mixed. I've always been on the fence as far as paranormal occurrences. But when I saw this thing I was just so intrigued, and I genuinely can't explain what this might be."
UFO blogger Scott C Waring is convinced he has captured something amazing.
He wrote on ufosightingsdaily.com: "This video shows us only a few seconds of footage, but its all we need to see that its rotating slightly as it moves forward.
"The UFO has many several antenna like appendages sticking out. One on top, one on bottom and another two sticking out its front area.
"Many classic UFOs have been seen to have an arial antenna on top and some on the centre bottom.
"The eyewitness says it was shaped like a dome...a disk. Nice catch."
But UFO hoax buster Scott Brando said there was probably a genuine explanation for the sighting.
He said: "It's hard to understand the shape of the object in few seconds and whit this low quality, but it could be a hang glider, a glider or a kite."
Striking images were sent in to analysts after a couple watched the crash from their back garden.
In an anonymous statement to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), which investigates such sightings, they said yesterday: "One February 1 I was out on the back porch when my husband pointed out what looked to me like a jet at first.
"It was a quick presumption on my part and due to the cloud like trails it was leaving behind. But with a bit more observation it became obvious that it was not.
"It was moving far too slow to be a jet and was falling toward the ground.
"Looking through the binoculars I could see two bright orbs of light at the leading edge which seemed to separate slightly from one another.
"The decent was far slower than I imagine gravity would bring a solid object down. It took at least five minutes to get from mid sky to where I could no longer see it behind the trees."
She claimed to see the same event the next day (yesterday) in her home in Castlegar, British Colombia, Canada, adding: "Around the same time today my husband came in to tell me that there was another one in the sky.
"This time I thought to grab my camera.
MUFON
This image of a "falling UFO" has been sent to investigators a MUFON.
"It looked and acted almost identical to yesterday's sighting, a bright circle of light falling at a slow rate of speed leaving two trails behind it.
"Two very fast jets flew across the sky from west to east in the same area as it descend.
"When I lost sight of it behind the trees I took a look around and spotted another one higher in the sky but in the same southern direction.
"It too look as though it was falling to the ground and at the same slow rate of speed. "This one however broke into four segments but all four fell at the same rate.
"Another jet flew by shortly before I lost sight of it.
"And then another, but this one came from the east, did a quick turn about above the falling object and returned east.
"These jets were far faster than commercial airlines fly."
MUFON
Scott Brando claims it was just an optical illusion.
Some planes and their contrails taken during sunset look like meteors or other objects falling from the sky, but it's just an illusion.
Scott Brando
Scott C Waring runs website ufosightingsdaily.com, and is known for taking giant leaps with alleged UFO sightings to them being proof of alien craft.
He blogged: "The UFO seen in the photos is a disk shape and is glowing incredibly.
"The sides of the disk are not glowing, but its centre is.
"The UFO seems to have lost control and was crashing to Earth somewhere in the forest hills of British Colombia.
"The fact that it descended slowly rules out a meteor, the fact that its perfectly shaped like a disk rules out a jet, rocket or satellite.
"So, all we have left is an alien craft falling to earth as if its been attacked, possibly shot down with the old Ronald Reagan Star Wars satellites which have missiles on them to attack."
The Reagan Star Wars programme was a plan to have weapons in space that could shoot down a nuclear bomb fired at the US, but it never got off the ground.
However, conspiracy theorists like Mr Waring claim it did, and it was actually a cover up for firing it invading aliens.
However, it seems as though the woman was right in her initial assumption.
Before US-based MUFON gets to look at the case, it has been analysed by forensic UFO investigator Scott Brando.
He runs hoax-busting website ufoofinterest.org and claims there has yet to be an inexplicable picture or video of a supposed UFO taken yet.
He told Express.co.uk this was a classic example of a "perspective optical illusion".
Mr Brando, who provided video and still examples to back up his explanation, said it was just a plane flying horizontally away from the witness, which gave it the appearance it was falling down, but that is why it appeared to fall so slowly.
He said: "It's a known effect caused by the perspective.
"Some planes and their contrails taken during sunset look like meteors or other objects falling from the sky, but it's just an illusion."

The latest incident regarding an alien cover-up occurred on January 20, 2017, when NASA's International Space Station (ISS) suddenly stopped its live feed while a luminous UFO suddenly appeared in front of the camera.
The video feed was resumed after 35 seconds; a message stating that the hindrance was caused because there was either "temporary loss of signal" or they were "switching cameras" was put up on the live ISS YouTube channel.

Alien hunters and UFO experts think that the strange orb of light that was seen before the live video footage went off the air was either a UFO or some brand new military technology the government wants to keep top secret, according to Science World Report.
"I have seen myself, at least a dozen times, where there is video of some sort of object coming close to the International Space Station -- moving around in many cases -- and all of a sudden they just cut the feed," online blogger Bright Insight, revealed.
"Either it's aliens or it is top secret technology that is being suppressed from the masses," Bright Insight said further.
This was the fourth time NASA abruptly stopped its live feed over a span of seven months, Daily Star reported.
Way back in July 2016, a light-emitting spacecraft was seen entering the Earth's atmosphere in the live ISS feed and the video was immediately cut.
Similar instances took place again after three months. Popular UFO YouTubers and UFOlogists have also observed the dropping of feeds taking place when an alien craft is seen in the footage.
"NASA cuts the camera feed so quickly even though this was very distant," Streetcap1, a UFOlogist said, as reported by Daily Star.
"But I still managed to get a couple of frames to enlarge," Streetcap1 added.
Here's the link to the footage Streetcap1 captured before NASA cut the feed on September 30, 2016:

In another instance an astronaut on the ISS tries to cover the UFO sighting by putting his hand in front of the camera as soon as an alien object passes by.
"We have an astronaut working on the International Space Station where we not only see a UFO fly overhead, but we are also going to see the astronaut attempt to hide this activity by putting his hand in front of the camera. And he actually does this a couple of times," says Tyler, from UFO hunting group Secure Team who posted the footage on his secureteam10 YouTube channel.

So far no response has been received from NASA regarding these recurring "co-incidents".
Social media sites have also allegedly been trying to cover up such sightings, such as the recent instance of UFO sighting along the US-Mexico border, which was filmed and uploaded by a girl on Instagram, and the video was subsequently removed.
Similarly, photos and videos of unknown craft hovering over Turkey were trending on Twitter with the hashtag #UFOAttacktoTurkey, which was then censored by the microblogging site. This resulted in annoyed usersposting about it more actively with an attempt to bring out the truth and spread the news about the sighting.

Alien Extra-Dimensional Visitors Are Visiting The Earth
Alien Extra-Dimensional Visitors Are Visiting The Earth
Is more to this world than what you can perceive with your five senses? Extra-Dimensionality is the key to understanding everything… Understanding the Extra-Dimensional phenomena is the way to unfold the truth of the paranormal, the spiritual and even the physical world. These Visitors have been with us since time immemorial and their messages to us are everywhere around us.
In this episode we are going to be joined by former national security investigator for the US government, John DeSouza. John is a researcher and experiencer of paranormal and spiritual phenomena. Today we will be discussing his new book The Extra-Dimensionals, which presents tales of non-terrestrial visitors, and their agendas on our planet.
This video is being provided as a courtesy of Just Energy Radio. You can watch the full episode commercial free by upgrading to a Just Energy Radio Insider’s membership.
Former national security investigator for the US government, John DeSouza, is also a researcher and experiencer of paranormal and spiritual phenomena. He will talk about various examples of divine and paranormal intervention in law enforcement situations, as well as extraordinary stories from civilians, and his unique perspectives on these matters. Early in DeSouza’s career, a police officer told him about his strange experience when he was waved down by a young man who took him to the scene of an off-road accident, where he was able to save the lives of two injured women. But the man who waved him down vanished from the scene, and the officer, who had a very sharp memory, said it was like the details of the man’s appearance were wiped from his mind. DeSouza believes it was likely a case of angelic intervention.
He also detailed an incident in which an eight-year-old boy was interviewed by a task force member in relation to his precognitive dream about 9-11, in which he received a phone call from an adult man who was begging for help as there was a fire in his office building, and he was trapped on the 77th floor. The task force officer revealed that he’d actually had the same dream. DeSouza’s next book, out later this year, The Extra-Dimensionals, will present tales of non-terrestrial visitors, and their agendas on our planet.

Alien In The Ocean World: Using Analytical Science Prowess To Discover Extraterrestrial Life
Alien In The Ocean World: Using Analytical Science Prowess To Discover Extraterrestrial Life
Jezreel Smith
(Photo : David McNew/Newsmakers) Capillary Electrophoresis was performed using the water sample from Mono Lake. Almost 17 amino acid were discovered despite the strong basicity of the water sample's pH. The method is then considered to be very helpful in correlating the presence of amino acids from extraterrestrial form of life in different bodies of water.
A liquid-based analytical technique called Capillary Electrophoresis paves the way in detecting another form of life present in earth's oceans. NASA researchers are developing and customizing Capillary Electrophoresis which could detect and contrast the presence of amino acids that is present from a non-living organism from that of a living organism.
Amino Acid is the building block of protein that plays an essential role in biologic processes of an organism. According to Tech Times, the new method was already used to identify 17 different amino acids in Mono Lake located in California. Using analytical process, the scientists were able to differentiate the origin of amino acids whether it is from living or non-living creature.
Mono Lake's water is very basic considering its power of hydrogen. Thus, making it an impossible habitat for life, however, it could also reflect on the possibility of testing the salty waters theoretically located in Mars, the Jupiter's moon Europa and the Saturn's moon Enceladus.
As reported by Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the customized capillary electrophoresis is 10,000 times more sensitive as compared to the current methods employed by some spacecraft such as NASA's Mars Curiosity Rover. The principle behind the technique is that it involves the separation of ions based on their electrophoretic mobility under an applied voltage.
Furthermore, according to Jessica Creamer, a postdoctoral scholar at Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the method could easily detect amino acid in a single try or even in low concentrations and highly salty specimens. The method could be simply and easily finalized with a 'mix and analyze' process.
The existence of L-amino acid in living organisms has already a great linkage to life while non-living creatures possess both L- amino acid and D- amino acid. An extraterrestrial source for an L-amino acid in oceans could further reflect an extraterrestrial form of life.

Alien hunters were convinced they had spotted a captured UFO on Wednesday.
Keen-eyed conspiracy theorists spotted a strange circular object on Google Earth satellite images of Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory near Los Angeles.
Some alien hunters claimed that the object was a flying saucer parked on the runway.
But Nasa engineers have since debunked the theory by taking a selfie with the mystery shape.

Nasa scientist Dr Nacer Chahat tweeted the photo earlier today.
In response to Twitter user @ufoofinterest, who had posted a link to an article on the so-called UFO, he wrote: 'Here is what you think is a UFO. The only alien is me.'
Dr Chahat's picture shows him stood with a colleague near the object, which appears to be a storage container.
YouTube user 'Name Shame' originally spotted the object on Google Earth on Wednesday and published the images on his YouTube channel.
'Is NASA playing games?.. UFO captured? What is it?' he said in the post.
The JPL, near Los Angeles, is the birthplace of the US's first satellite to orbit the Earth.

'Secondly, why would they leave it out in the open to be spotted by the likes of Google Earth?
'Seeing strange anomalies on Google seems to be the latest craze that is rivalling the watching of live images from the International Space Station to get a glimpse of UFOs.
'In most of these instances we see what we look for.'
This is not the first time that UFO Hunters have used Google's satellite technology to make bizarre claims about aliens.
Earlier this month a self-proclaimed ufologist claimed footage of himself fighting and being abducted by aliens had been caught on camera by Google maps.
A man who called himself John Mooner, from Newton Abbot in Devon, claimed a 'real alien abduction' has been captured taking place on Google's satellite cameras.
The green glow is supposedly light from an alien ship hoping to beam him up. The small red circles allegedly show him being punched in the face by an alien. A zoomed in version is shown top right
THE 'ABDUCTION'
Mr Mooner claimed he does not remember the abduction at all, but is convinced it is himself in the footage.
'I do remember sporadic episodes of missing time throughout the year of 2016 and going back through the previous years,' he said.
He is convinced from looking at a series of pictures that he was abducted.
'The shocking thing about this was that it's me being abducted by a grey alien and the satellite image clearly shows me trying to fight off the grey alien by punching it in the face,' he said.
'I was having trouble with the Google Earth app that was installed on my computer so I looked for an online option and found Google satellite maps,' Mr Mooner told the Torquay Herald Express.
'I thought to myself I will view the area where I was UFO spotted from last year and look for anything out of the ordinary.
'I was left speechless by what I saw.
'The satellite has captured a real alien abduction taking place.'
The pictures were released by Mr Mooner, who claims he took them from Google maps.
Where exactly the abduction took place is unknown.
'The shocking thing about this was that it's me being abducted by a grey alien and the satellite image clearly shows me trying to fight off the grey alien by punching it in the face,' he said.
Mr Mooner claims he does not remember the abduction at all, but is convinced it is himself in the footage. 'I do however remember sporadic episodes of missing time throughout the year of 2016 and going back through the previous years,' he said
'Looking at the image it appears that the alien has blocked my punch and has grabbed my fist and must of been able to subdue me [sic].'

Out in West Texas, on a wide shoulder of Highway 90 in the desert, curious people gather most every night to view a ghostly phenomenon. As dusk begins to fall, strange lights appear to hover in the air and then disappear unprompted. The lights have been described as otherworldly. Some find them friendly, and others, sinister. Witnesses claim to see the lights dart in one direction or another, change color, and apparently dissolve just as swiftly as they appeared. The Marfa Lights, as they’re known, are a largely mysterious phenomenon that have confounded and intrigued Texans for generations. But just what exactly are they? Let’s do some research.
First and foremost it’s important to point out that the lights are not a figment of the collective imagination of a gullible public. The Marfa Lights have been well-documented by scientists and celebrities. If you go to the Marfa Light Viewing Center, you are likely to see them for yourself. James Dean is said to have been so obsessed with them during the filming of the movie Giantthat he would keep a telescope on him at night to catch glimpses of them.
Ghost lights are an ancient phenomenon that occur worldwide. Some people call them will-o-the-wisps, while others refer to them as swamp lights or orbs. It’s hard to say exactly when the Marfa lights first appeared. There are reports of sightings dating back to the 19th century, but the first known printed account of them showed up in a 1957 issue of Coronet Magazine, where they were referred to as “the Texas Ghost Lights.”
Theories abound as to just what causes them. Some people believe the lights are paranormal in essence. That they are perhaps ethereal spirits, the luminous remains of lost souls. Some posit that they are alien in nature, possibly UFOs. The skeptics tend to believe the lights are merely atmospheric reflections of campfires and the headlights of cars passing on a nearby roadway.
There are two notable studies on the Marfa Lights. One was done by Society of Physics students at the University of Texas at Dallas in 2004. Another study was conducted four years later by a group of scientists from Texas State University. The Texas State scientists spent 20 nights using spectroscopic technology to observe the lights. Both studies came to similar conclusions, that the Marfa Lights were most likely caused by the headlights of cars driving by on Highway 67, or by small campfires in the distance.
Although, some people who have seen the lights vehemently deny this solution. Michael Hall wrote a piece on the subject for Texas Monthly in 2006 entitled “The Truth is Out There.” Hall’s article explored both magical and scientific explanations for the lights.
“My wife and I got married in Alpine six years ago, and the night before, the wedding party wound up at the viewing area.Alcohol was involved, and so was a lot of loud talk. There were more than a dozen of us, and just as a funny movie is funnier with a group of friends, so is a mystery more mysterious. We all agreed—no way those were car lights,” Hall wrote.
Hall wanted badly to believe, but after doing his own research (involving telescopes, binoculars, experts, first-hand testimony and even strobe lights) even he had his doubts.
Some people enjoy the mystery of the lights even more than the lights themselves, though. Julie Mangum saw the lights during her time attending Sul Ross University in Alpine.
“It’s the strangest thing to ponder. It absolutely blows my mind just like how space never ends, or like what does it mean to not exist. You don’t always see them when you go and they never are the same every time you’re there. It’s really a great mystery and I don’t know if I really want it solved.”
In general, ghost lights are considered evasive and mysterious, popping up in random places in the dark of night with few witnesses. However, in Texas, the Marfa Lights are easily spotted from the same location nearly every night. That would suggest that what we’re seeing is not supernatural, but something rational that perhaps has been distorted, causing it to seem unfamiliar.
One way that the Marfa Lights could be car lights and also appear mystical is if they were being disguised through an optical illusion. There is one such optical illusion that is actually very common in most parts of Texas. In fact, you’ve probably experienced it yourself. Picture this: you’re driving down a long stretch of highway in the summer. The road is baking with heat. The temperature is creeping up toward the triple digits, and there is not a cloud in the sky. Suddenly, up ahead the road appears to be wet. Did a sudden shower move through the area right before you drove in? No, that can’t be right either, because as you near the watery section of road, it appears to dry before your eyes.
What you’re actually seeing is an optical illusion commonly known as “heat haze” or “heat shimmer.” It occurs when extreme heat near the surface of the road refracts the light from the sky. In simple terms, the ground becomes a mirror and reflects the sky. During daylight hours when there’s not much on the horizon, your brain interprets this heat haze as water. However, the haze can actually create a mirror image (also known as an inverted mirage) when it’s in front of something large like a mountain. The effect of which is to make something in the distance seem to appear upside down, like it’s being reflected in a pool of water that simply isn’t there. Now imagine what that would do to car headlights traveling along a road, or campfire lights at night.
Paradoxically, a mirage could even be to blame when the weather is cold. Cold air mirages are known as “superior mirages.” They happen when the air close to the ground is colder than the air above it. They are more common in polar regions than in the arid West Texas desert, but it’s one possible explanation.
However, you also have to take into consideration that there were reports of ghost lights in this area in the 1850’s, before Texas even had roads. Or cars. Could it really be lost souls? Maybe. No one really knows what happens after this life. It could be camp-fires. Hell, that close to New Mexico, it could really be aliens. We may never know.
