REMAINS OF A SIXTEEN-FOOT -TALL GIANT FOUND ON MALAYSIAN ISLAND

Working at a large grave site in Pulau Upeh, a small island off the coast of Malacca in Malaysia, Mohd Fuad and his assistant Azman Wahab recently unearthed colossal human skeleton remains .

Reports state that they have found massive graves, and deep inside the island's caves have discovered gigantic bone fragments so large the person would've stood 3-5 meters (10-16 feet) tall. Now they say they want the Malaysian government to invest in the excavation of these caves to reveal the true history of the island. 

 

EVIDENCE FOR GIANT HUMANS FOUND IN SOUTH EAST ASIA 

 

'Island gigantism' is a known phenomenon and the cause of many of the world's giant animals. The Corsican Giant Shrew on the French island of Corsica, the Giant Solenodon on Cuba, and the now extinct Moa of New Zealand are just a few examples. The latter was once the largest bird species on the planet standing at around 3.6 meters (12 feet) tall. This gigantism occurs because of the unique ecological environment that islands present in comparison to the mainland. Species often thrive and evolve to become twice or three times their normal height because of a lack of competition or natural predator. It has been observed for many animals and plants, but not humans yet. 

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_gigantism 

 

Malaysian folklore includes tales of giant humans from the secluded island of Pulau Upeh. Could the same evolutionary process that created the world's giant turtles, rats, and birds also have created giant humans? Have these Malaysians stumbled upon one of the most groundbreaking discoveries of the 21st century? Critics dismissed these claims as fairy-tales that have not to be taken seriously. However, the discovery of these large graves and bones could change all that. Could Pulau Upeh have once been home to a race of humans that would have dwarfed us by comparison? 

 

 

If it's true, they are no longer alive there. The small and beautiful island is now a relaxing destination for tourists and fisherman. Reported sightings of the giants are all over a hundred years old, and most are far older than that. However, there is growing support for a state-funded excavation of the island's caves to truly understand its history. Others say that it would be unholy to excavate a possible grave site, and so it would be best to leave it untouched.

 

 Like the many other mythical giants from ancient tales, there are actually good theories to support the existence of giant humans. Perhaps one day we will uncover evidence on a remote island of their existence. Until more excavation can be done in Malaysia, the Malaccan Giants will have to remain a myth for now.

Rainbow UFO Seen Following Space Station On Live Camera Feb 7, 2017, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Feb 7, 2017
Location of sighting: Earths Orbit, space station
Source: MUFON #81960

This UFO was reported near the space station today and its a very vibrant colored craft. I would really like to know what material it was made from to give off such beautiful colors. The eyewitness saw it vanish under the clouds, which is proof that it was a large object in low Earth orbit. I wonder what NASA would have to say about this UFO? Perhaps calling it Venus or a weather balloon? Not buying it NASA. This is a UFO and its riding the tail of the space station. 

Sorry, there is no video with the report, but only a few screenshots of the UFO.

Eyewitness states:

Now I'm not sure if this is UFO but I saw circular lights coming out of beam from Sun the I saw circular light following iss I thought it was the space station itself but found it strange when it vanished under clouds I took pictures could of been there camera to but still it seemed strange I got more photos but can't got them on your report.

China Releases Moon Rover Photos With UFO Hovering Behind It, Feb 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: February 2017
Location of sighting: Earths Moon

This UFO is hidden on the far right of the photo. China space administration released some new photos of the China lunar rover this week and in one of those photos is a spaceship hovering in the distance. The UFO was found by Secureteam10 of Youtube and as he mentioned, this UFO has a lot similarities to those seen in early Apollo mission photos. Nice clear photo with no visible editing of it. I tried my best to bring the UFO into focus and its looks like a biomechanics craft...a craft grown. The intestine layers are proof of this.

Tornado Hits NASA Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans

This story was updated at 6:30 p.m. EST.

A tornado impacted NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans Tuesday (Feb. 7), according to a statement released by the agency.

"At this time, only minor injuries have been reported and NASA employees and other tenants are being accounted for," NASA officials said in the statement. The tornado hit the facility at 11:25 a.m. CST (12:25 p.m. EST/1725 GMT), they adde

NASA posted a video to YouTube that shows cell phone footage of the tornado (taken from afar), as well as footage of the facility after the impact.

"That thing is an awesome thing to look at," one spectator said in the video, referring to the massive grey funnel on the horizon.

"Hopefully, everybody's okay, but it is real bad," said a person taking footage of the facility after the tornado had passed. The video seemed to show damage to buildings and a car flipped over in a parking lot.

"There is still a threat of severe weather in the area and emergency officials are continuing to monitor the situation to ensure the safety of onsite personnel," the statement said. "The onsite Michoud emergency response team is also conducting damage assessments of buildings and facilities."

Currently, the Michoud Assembly Facilityis responsible for manufacturing and assembling the core stage of NASA's next-generation heavy-lift rocket, the Space Launch System (SLS), which is built by Boeing, according to NASA's website. Michoud will also assemble and integrate the SLS main propulsion system, including the RS-25 engines, built by Aerojet Rocketdyne. The facility is also involved in manufacturing large structures and composites for the Orion crew vehicle. Previously, NASA used the facility to assemble the external propulsion tanks for the space shuttle program, as well as Saturn V moon rocket stages.

News outlets are reporting that perhaps as many as seven tornadoes have struck Louisiana today. Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards has declared a state of emergency.

Tiny Asteroid-Mining Scouts Could Study Space-Dust Strikes

Watching asteroids get pummeled by fast-moving space dust could reveal a lot about the rocks — including which ones might make good mining targets.

That's the idea behind a mission concept called MIDEA (short for Meteoroid Impact Detection for Exploration of Asteroids), which would launch tiny robotic scouts to rendezvous with asteroids and then study the material that minuscule impactors blast off them.

Such observations could help scientists identify asteroids that harbor resources that exploration missions could exploit, said Nicolas Lee of Stanford University's Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, who presented the MIDEA concept in December at the annual fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) in San Francisco. [Photos: Asteroids in Deep Space]

"We want to help enable the broad exploration of the solar system for ISRU," Lee told Space.com at the AGU meeting. (ISRU is short for "in situ resource utilization" — a technical term that basically means "living off the land.")

As currently envisioned, MIDEA would employ 6-unit (6U) cubesats — spacecraft just slightly larger than a cereal box — as mother ships. These craft would journey to near-Earth asteroids (NEAs), go into orbit around them and release five to 10 free-flying "ultralight plasma detectors" that would study the plasma generated by micrometeoroid impacts.

Modeling work performed by Lee and MIDEA principal investigator Sigrid Close, an associate professor of aeronautics and astronautics at Stanford, suggests that such impacts occur quite frequently — about one hit per square meter (11 square feet) every 10 days or so for NEAs. 

"In about two weeks, we should get enough impacts to get an idea of [the composition of] the entire surface," Lee said.

The mother ships would be quite cheap as spacecraft go; Lee said one could probably be built for $10 million to $20 million. Each one would journey to just one NEA. (Visiting multiple asteroids would probably require a mother ship bigger than a 6U cubesat, Lee said.)

 A Space Rock

Asteroids are fascinating for lots of reasons. They contain a variety of valuable resources and slam into our planet on a regular basis, occasionally snuffing out most of Earth's lifeforms. How much do you know about space rocks?

There are no construction plans at the moment; MIDEA is just a concept, and much of the current work is focused on developing the technology required for the ultralight plasma detectors, Lee said.

The MIDEA team is currently being funded by NASA's Early Stage Innovations program, he added. If MIDEA does manage to go from concept to full-on mission, spaceflight is likely at least five to 10 years away, Lee said.

That first mission probably wouldn't take a MIDEA craft very far from home.  

"I think a LEO [low-Earth orbit] mission would be a good proof of concept," Lee said. "That would make a lot of sense."

There May Be Extraterrestrial Dust On Your Rooftop

Rae Paoletta

The gutters around your roof are undoubtedly a horror story right now. They’re probably stuffed with dirt, leaves, and whatever animals decided to nestle themselves up there. Though spring cleaning will definitely unearth these terrors, take heart, because there might be some micrometeorites trapped in your gutters, too.

In a study published in November in Geology, a team of European scientists analyzed material from a group called Project Stardust, which asked people in Oslo, Norway to collect debris on their rooftops. The leader of Project Stardust, Jon Larsen, also assisted as co-author on this study, which confirmed that “urban meteorites” are not just an urban legend—they’re literally as close to home as you can get.

Out of the 661 pounds of rooftop debris the team analyzed, 48 samples were confirmed as “cosmic spherules,” formed by extreme melting as a meteorite heats up in Earth’s atmosphere. The team’s findings include some of the largest—and youngest—micrometeorites ever discovered. It’s important to keep the “large” part in perspective, since these samples are actually between 300 and 400 microns in size, making them extremely difficult to see without the aid of a microscope.

“The micrometeorites in the new collection are mainly found on the roofs of buildings with a maximum of 50 years of age, so it can be assumed that the stones have a terrestrial age of 0–50 years, which make them fresh compared with most of the micrometeorites in the other collections,” Larsen wrote in an essay shared with Gizmodo.

As the team noted in their study, the idea of urban micrometeorites has long been dismissed as a myth. The latest discovery proves that urban micrometeorites are in fact real, and moreover, that scientists don’t have to go to remote regions like Antarctica to find these tiny cosmic intruders.

More than 100 billion micrometeorites are believed to fall to Earth each year. So, if you’re a space enthusiast but a lazy housekeeper, this could give you an added incentive to clean those gutters.

Honderden mysterieuze bouwwerken die doen denken aan Stonehenge gevonden in Amazonewoud

In de Amazone zijn honderden mysterieuze structuren ontdekt die gelijkenissen vertonen met Stonehenge.

Wetenschappers stuitten op de aardwerken toen ze met drones over het gebied vlogen, schrijft de Daily Telegraph.

De bouwwerken in de Braziliaanse staat Acre bleven honderden jaren onopgemerkt, maar vanwege de ontbossing zijn er nu 450 blootgelegd.

Geogliefen

Geogliefen in de Amazone (Jenny Watling)

De aardwerken, die door archeologen ‘geogliefen’ worden genoemd, zijn waarschijnlijk zo’n 2000 jaar oud.

Hoewel er nog niets bekend is over hun functie, doen ze denken aan de aardwerken bij Stonehenge in Wiltshire.

Hoofdonderzoeker Jennifer Watling van de Universiteit van Sao Paulo denkt dat de structuren werden gebruikt voor bijeenkomsten of om rituelen te doen.

Druist in tegen

Lange tijd werd aangenomen dat het regenwoud onaangeroerd is gebleven. Het onderzoek bewijst voor het eerst dat mensen al in de prehistorie actief waren in Brazilië.

“Het feit dat deze vindplaatsen honderden jaren onder het regenwoud verborgen lagen druist in tegen het idee dat de bossen in de Amazone onaangeroerde ecosystemen zijn,” zei dr. Watling.

We kunnen volgens haar nog veel leren van de inheemse volkeren, die ver voor de komst van de Europeanen al manieren hadden ontwikkeld om op een duurzame manier bosbouw te plegen.

6000 jaar

De onderzoekers laten zien dat mensen al minstens 6000 jaar actief waren in het gebied waar de geogliefen zijn gevonden.

Het onderzoek is gepubliceerd in het tijdschrift Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

UFO following a plane over Lincoln, New Hampshire

Here’s one interesting daytime footage of a bright object that was following a plane over Lincoln, New Hampshire. This was filmed on 21st April 2016 and it was just uploaded to MUFON.

Witness report: 

I was reading on my deck around 7 o’clock. I am told that military pilots train in the mountains around where I live and I’ve always enjoyed seeing them fly through. This happens all the time, jets and helicopters are a common sighting. So I naturally saw the jet and did a double take, because there was something following it. I immediately thought I was witnessing some strange aircraft, possibly military but it was not a jet. I knew it wasn’t a jet because it was actually right behind one. The jet it was chasing left a long contrail behind it, but the UFO did not. The UFO was gaining on a jet. No helicopter could do that. I was blown away and luckily got out my phone in time to take a video. I watched the object gaining on the jet for about 10 seconds when i lost them in the trees. I was very excited and anxious. I felt I has witnessed something very hard to dismiss as a “weather balloon” or some obvious type of aircraft. Shortly after the jet and object left my range of sight I saw 3 more jets and 1 helicopters going the same direction (in my opinion chasing the UFO). I also got another video of those other aircraft. I would like to show the video to an aviation expert and maybe get an explanation. I’m uploading to MUFON hoping for answers.

Aurora Borealis: What Causes the Northern Lights & Where to See Them

The northern lights, or aurora borealis, offer an entrancing, dramatic, magical display that fascinates all who see it — but just what causes this dazzling natural phenomenon?

At the center of our solar system lies the sun, the yellow star that sustains life on our planet. The sun's many magnetic fields distort and twist as our parent star rotates on its axis. When these fields become knotted together, they burst and create so-called sunspots. Usually, these sunspots occur in pairs; the largest can be several times the size of Earth's diameter. 

At the center of the sun, the temperature is 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius). As the temperature on its surface rises and falls, the sun boils and bubbles. Particles escape from the star from the sunspot regions on the surface, hurtling particles of plasma, known as solar wind, into space. It takes these winds around 40 hours to reach Earth. When they do, they can cause the dramatic displays known as the aurora borealis. [Infographics: How the Northern Lights Work & Anatomy of Sun Storms & Solar Flares]

Sunspots and cycles

The sunspots and solar storms that cause the most magnificent displays of the northern lights occur roughly every 11 years. The solar cycle peaked in 2013, but it was the weakest solar maximum in a century. [Photos: Amazing Auroras of 2014]

"This solar cycle continues to rank among the weakest on record," Ron Turner of Analytic Services, Inc. who serves as a Senior Science Advisor to NASA's Innovative Advanced Concepts program, said in a statement.

Since record-keeping of the ebb and flow of the sun's activity began in 1749, there have been 22 full cycles. Researchers monitor space weather events because they have the potential to affect spacecraft in orbit, knock out power grids and communications infrastructure on Earth, and amp up normal displays of the northern and southern lights. Scientists are also investigating how fluctuations in the sun's activity affect weather on our planet.

Particles and polar attraction

Earth is constantly bombarded with debris, radiation and other magnetic waves from space that could threaten the future of life as we know it. Most of the time, the planet's own magnetic field does an excellent job of deflecting these potentially harmful rays and particles, including those from the sun.

Particles discharged from the sun travel 93 million miles (around 150 million km) toward Earth before they are drawn irresistibly toward the magnetic north and south poles. As the particles pass through the Earth's magnetic shield, they mingle with atoms and molecules of oxygen, nitrogen and other elements that result in the dazzling display of lights in the sky.

The auroras in Earth's Northern Hemisphere are called the aurora borealis. Their southern counterpart, which light up the Antarctic skies in the Southern Hemisphere, are known as the aurora australis.

What causes the colors?

The colors most often associated with the aurora borealis are pink, green, yellow, blue, violet, and occasionally orange and white. Typically, when the particles collide with oxygen, yellow and green are produced. Interactions with nitrogen produce red, violet, and occasionally blue colors. 

The type of collision also makes a difference to the colors that appear in the sky: atomic nitrogen causes blue displays, while molecular nitrogen results in purple. The colors are also affected by altitude. The green lights typically in areas appear up to 150 miles (241 km) high, red above 150 miles; blue usually appears at up to 60 miles (96.5 km); and purple and violet above 60 miles.

These lights may manifest as a static band of light, or, when the solar flares are particularly strong, as a dancing curtain of ever-changing color.

History of the auroral lights

For millennia, the lights have been the source of speculation, superstition and awe. Cave paintings in France thought to date back 30,000 years have illustrations of the natural phenomenon.

In more superstitious times, the northern lights were thought to be a harbinger of war or destruction, before people really understood what causes them. Many classic philosophers, authors and astronomers, including Aristotle, Descartes, Goethe and Halley, refer to the northern lights in their work.

As early as 1616, the astronomer Galileo Galilei used the name aurora borealis to describe them, taking the name of the mythical Roman goddess of the dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for wind of the north, Boreas.

The aurora australis, or the southern lights, occur around the south polar region. But, since the South Pole is even more inhospitable than the North Pole, it is often trickier to view the southern lights.

Where to see the lights

The best places to see the northern lights are Alaska and northern Canada, but visiting these vast, open expanses is not always easy. Norway, Sweden and Finland also offer excellent vantage points. During periods of particularly active solar flares, the lights can be seen as far south as the top of Scotland and even northern England. [A Guide for Watching Earth's Auroras]

On rare occasions, the lights are seen farther south. They were first observed by European settlers in New England in 1791. In "Historical Storms of New England," published in 1891, Sidney Perley wrote, "May 15, 1719, the more beautiful and brilliant aurora borealis was first observed here as far as any record or tradition of that period inform us, and it is said that in England it was first noticed only three years before this date. In December of the same year the aurora again appeared, and the people became greatly alarmed, not dreading it so much as a means of destruction but as precursor of the fires of the last great day and a sign of coming dangers."

When to see the lights

The northern lights are always present, but winter is usually the best time to see them, due to lower levels of light pollution and the clear, crisp air. September, October, March and April are some of the best months to view the aurora borealis. The lights are known to be brighter and more active for up to two days after sunspot activity is at its highest. Several agencies, such as NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, also monitor solar activity and issue aurora alerts when they are expected to put on a particularly impressive show.

Florida witness describes hovering disc UFO

A Florida witness at St. Augustine reported watching a disc-shaped UFO hovering in the night sky before moving out over the ocean, according to testimony in Case 79397 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness is a MUFON Field Investigator who was taking out the trash at 9:39 p.m. on September 25, 2016, when the incident began.

“As I watched my garage door go up, immediately in front of me was a UFO hovering in alignment over the house across the street, but farther behind it,” the witness stated. “See house photo which shows my neighbor’s house, but in daylight.”

Witness illustration of object.

The witness immediately recognized the object as something unusual.

“My first thought was ‘OMG a UFO!’ It was way too big for a plane. A second later as the lights strobed and reflected off the body I realized the lights were a wrong color(too much blue) for a plane, and it was far too big and too slow to be a plane, slower than even a slow helicopter. My vision is about 20/35 without my glasses, so I ran inside to get my glasses. It was hovering at about 30 degrees in elevation and 10 degrees north.The sky was mostly clear with only a few clouds (cloud base 3,100-6,500 feet according to the weather report), wind northeast at 8 mph, temperature was 78 degrees and humidity was 78 percent.”

The witness described the object.

“It was disc-shaped, but had sharp points on the top and bottom. There was a larger oval, very bright, white light on the top point that blinked, not strobed. That light was so bright it hurt my eyes. Surrounding the object along its side were strobing multi-colored lights that strobed from white/blue/green/red/ yellow very quickly. They reflected off the body that seemed to be dull gray, but sometimes looked dull amber depending on the color of the lights strobing at the moment. Its speed was quite slow, slower than a slow helicopter.”

The neighbor’s house is used as a reference shot with illustration of UFO above it.

The object also turned off its lights.

“Twice, all of its lights went out at once for about two seconds and then the lights came back on as it hovered in the same place. Initially it hovered for about two minutes over the house, (I counted 110 seconds after I retrieved my glasses) and then it headed east for about 10 seconds, stopped for 2-3 seconds, headed back west for about 10 seconds, stopped for 2-3 seconds, and then headed southeast.It had significant sideways movement as described, but its altitude did not change much other than slight wobbling.”

The object also moved into a cloud at one point.

“Once it went inside a cloud, the cloud lit up with the multi-colored lights and then it came out of the cloud, so its elevation was at least 3,100 feet, meaning it had to be pretty big to appear penny-size at arm’s length and 3,100 feet up.”

The object soon moved away.

“It moved slowly southeast of me and I lost sight of it when it was behind some woods. From its height and distance, it should have been over the Atlantic Ocean at that point. From the direction it moved, it may have been over downtown St. Augustine and/or St. Augustine Beach at some point, so I wonder if MUFON will get more reports. I watched it for a total of approximately six minutes. There were no animal or psychological effects and no missing time.”

St. Augustine is a city in northeastern Florida, the county seat of St. Johns County, population 13,679. MUFON Florida State Section Director Thomas Branham and Field Investigator Julie Taylor are investigating. Please remember that most UFO sightings can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

Former Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge will publish a new non-fiction book about UFOs, Sekret Machines: Gods, March 7th.

DeLonge co-wrote Sekret Machines with Peter Levenda, who has penned numerous books about history and the occult. The new book is based on interviews with scientists, engineers, intelligence officers and military officials. It aims to challenge the way people think about UFO sightings and related phenomena.

Sekret Machines is the opening salvo on the complacency of human institutions where the UFO Phenomenon is concerned," Levenda sid. "It's designed to shake people up, to make them question their assumptions. This book is not only a new take on the Phenomenon – by treating it as a given – but a new approach to religion that takes a hard look at religious texts and ideas from around the world to discern the traces of an event that changed us forever."

DeLonge praised Levenda's input: "It was his ability to frame an esoteric thesis that gave me the ammunition to speak clearly on the subject matter, and that got me in the door."

Sekret Machines will also feature a forward from Jacques Vallée, a computer scientist and one of the most well-known writers and researchers on UFOs (he was the inspiration for Claude Lacombe, the French scientist in Close Encounters With a Third Kind). "The sightings have been ignored by academics, summarily brushed off by politicians, censored by churches, classified by the military and ridiculed by the media," said Vallée. "Yet the reports continue to come. The experience of the unknown has only deepened, raising unsettling questions about the intrusion of the uncanny in our shiny modern world of convenient machines and superficial entertainment."

Sekret Machines: Gods marks DeLonge's first non-fiction book after co-authoring several novels over the past few years. The books are part of a larger multi-media project, To the Stars, which DeLonge has thrown himself into since splitting with Blink-182. To the Stars also includes music and film, and DeLonge told Rolling Stone that he's been gleaning information from officials in the aerospace industry, the Department of Defense and NASA.

"It's very hard to think, 'How did this guy in a band get access like that?'" DeLonge said. "It sounds crazy. But it's because I can speak to a very specific audience. I earned their trust. I knew my material."

THE release by the CIA of thousands of formerly classified documents about suspected UFO sightings was part of a "cover up", not transparency, it has shockingly been claimed.

Swarm of mysterious 'UFOs' spotted in Bristol after bizarre claims BT Tower is used as spaceship refuelling station

There have been several similar sightings of UFOs in the area already this year as residents remain baffled

BY LEWIS PENNOCKTRISTAN CORKKARA O'NEILL

A swarm of mysterious lights has been spotted and filmed over Bristol as bizarre claims emerge that the BT Tower located there is actually a refuelling station for alien spaceships .

The orange blips were filmed gliding over houses in Hengrove by mum-of-one Kelly Maynard.

The intriguing footage was shared just days after a Bristol Post reader shared their theory that a BT tower in Purdown is a refuelling station for spaceships.

A similar sighting was also recorded in January over Siston Common, near Mangotsfield.

"I looked up and there were several orange lights moving quite fast in the sky," said 36-year-old Kelly, who shared the footage to a Facebook page called 'The Universe'.

"It was about six or seven at night and I ran in and grabbed my phone. On my Facebook somebody said it was lanterns but then they saw the video and said they didn't know what it was.

"I have never seen anything like it. I could not believe it.

"I've got no explanation for it, so it must be something mysterious."

The video shows three orange blips moving through the sky, but Kelly said she actually saw ten to 15 of the unidentified objects before the camera started rolling, reports the Bristol Post .

The footage was recorded on a Saturday night in January, Kelly said, but she decided to share it online this week in the hope of finding answers.

It comes as claims have been made that that Purdown BT Tower, which dominates the skyline over north and east Bristol is a refuelling station for UFOs .

Writing to the Bristol Post from Montpelier, Ernest B Skidmore has spoken of an unusual experience he had near the tower, on the same day as a UFO was spotted and filmed by the police helicopter over the Bristol Channel.

He even claims the shape of a copse of trees nearby spells out the letter B – and is some kind of sign for UFOs that they can refuel there.

The tower, near the Stoke Park estate, has been a Bristol landmark for decades, and contains communications equipment.

By March, the FBI won't let you email in FOIA requests

David Lumb

Formal requests citing the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) have been a powerful tool in the public's efforts to legally get info from the government. And not just for yourself: Once a FOIA request runs its lengthy course, an official body often releases that intel publicly -- for example, when the CIA published 12 million declassified documents last month on everything from Nazis to UFOs. While they take time to fulfill, most agencies allow citizens to easily submit FOIA inquiries using email, with some notable exceptions relying on older communication methods. But on March 1st, the FBI is intentionally rolling back the technological clock, and will only allow requests via fax or snail mail, plus a limited amount through their online portal.

This will undoubtedly hinder the public's ability to get information from the agency. On top of eliminating a far less burdensome method of communication, submitting through the FBI's portal requires including personal information, including phone number and address, and agree to the site's terms of service. Nested in the TOS is the requirement that users only make one FOIA request per submission per day.

As The Daily Dot points out, there is no legal limit on how many folks can submit daily, and since one could just send in other requests via fax or snail mail, the FBI isn't preventing people from making more inquiries. But it does put enormous onus on the requester for little apparent reason.

"It's a huge step backwards for the FBI to switch from a proven, ubiquitous, user-friendly technology like email to a portal that has consistently shown problems, ranging from restricting how often citizens can access their right to government oversight to legitimate privacy concerns," Michael Morisy, co-founder of the public records request tracking nonprofit MuckRock, told The Daily Dot. "Given that email has worked well for millions of requests over the years, this seems like a move designed to reduce participation and transparency, and we hope that the FBI will reverse course."

Citizens and groups have sued the FBI on behalf of FOIA requests to facilitate its review and release of documents. Last December, VICE brought a joint lawsuit against the agency alongside 50 inquiries related to its activities and disclosures immediately leading up to the election. But deliberately using outdated technology to slow down the process isn't a new strategy for government agencies, either: In July 2016, the Department of Justice was sued for refusing to upgrade their decades-old machines, thereby deliberately prolonging the process.

Secret UFO police may actually exist, and they were spotted in Florida. This special police unit may be responsible for containing any alien activity. That is before it goes public. YouTube channel secureteam10 posted images of what looks like regular cop cars, but with bold letters saying “UFO Response Team.” The odd labeling was on the back and sides of the cruisers. Are there alien cops patrolling the streets of Florida? Or is this just another government distraction to hide the real truth?

Florida UFO police are different than other cops; will we see alien perpetrators in the back of these cars soon?

The first image sent in from Cape Coral, Florida clearly shows a police cruiser with UFO Response Team boldly placed for all to see. Tyler from secureteam10 says the viewer who sent in the photo said that the cop car was indeed different from the normal Crown Victoria’s seen on the road. The eyewitness also said that the cop was working on his car’s laptop as well. Sounds like a real cop, doesn’t it? Was the cop responding to a possible alien sighting?

Increase in UFO activity has led to more alien police units; Men in Black chase 5 aliens in Florida

Reports of five UFOs in Florida by a son and father have led to more UFO police in the state. There have also been rumors of Men in Black type officials chasing aliens as well. The father and son claimed to see over five UFOs, and they were not the only ones. Supporting reports of the same sighting is evidence that alien activity is on the rise. Men in Black officials were also rumored to be in the state. The believers think that the agents are attempting to keep the truth about aliens secret. Since those heavily guarded secrets could cause society to collapse.

UFO Police may be for a movie, but the Alien cops could be Necessary in the wake of a 2017 invasion

The images of UFO police may also be the result of a new Resident Evil movie one viewer said. Regardless of why the alien cruisers exist, they may become a necessity if the 2017 invasion by aliens is real. The predictions have come from believers, the Bible, and even former President Eisenhower’s great-granddaughter. What will become of Earth within the next year?
