North Carolina witness unsure: UFO or drone? (VIDEO)
North Carolina witness unsure: UFO or drone? (VIDEO)
A North Carolina witness at Wake Forest is considering he may have simply shot video of a drone, but was unable to positively identify the object captured last spring, according to testimony in Case 82061 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
Cropped and enlarged frame from the witness video.

The witness shot video from his cell phone from the front of his home on a bright, sunny afternoon, about 4:30 p.m. on April 2, 2016.
“I’m near a lake and river, so I’m used to seeing large birds, like herons,” the witness stated.“Unless the distance was greater than I thought, I don’t think this was a bird.”
Cropped and enlarged frame from the witness video.

The witness noticed this object moving from his right to left, northeast to north, at a slow, but steady speed.
“It made no noise that carried to my position. My first thought was that it was a drone, due to the spherical shape, slow rate of horizontal travel, etc. There also appears to be either some spinning upon its own access or fluttering (perhaps bird wing flapping) motion. The object was 200 – 400 feet above the horizon, and perhaps one-half to three-quarter mile from my vantage point. I’ve never been unable to determine to which basic, real-world category an observed object belongs, which is why I thought it might be a drone.”

The witness has no drone background.
“I’ve never seen a drone in flight, in person, from a distance. I don’t think it’s anything other than something mundane, but would like to know your opinion.”
North Carolina MUFON Field Investigator Linda Larson is investigating. Two video clips were uploaded with the case, which was filed on February 13, 2017. 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.

May 1949 Location: Rogue River A fishing party on the Rogue River spies an unusual hovering object through binoculars. The description of the saucer-shaped craft (sketched in the official report above)
LONGBEFOREOREGON became a magnet for the creative class, East Coast refugees, and retiring 20-somethings, our state was attracting visitors of a different kind: the alien kind. Not only was the term “flying saucer” coined here in 1947—unleashing a nationwide UFO frenzy—but two of the first-ever photographs of UFOs were taken just down Highway 99, at the Trent farm near McMinnville, in 1950.
This month, thousands of curious onlookers, diehards, and experts will converge on McMinnville for the 13th annual UFO Festival—the second-most popular such celebration in the world, after Roswell, New Mexico’s—to commemorate the famous (and still controversial) photos.
But the Trent case merely scratches the surface of Oregon’s rich UFO history. By one estimate, Oregon has recorded more than 1,500 reported UFO sightings, making it third on the list of sightings per capita, close behind neighbors in Washington and Montana. We interviewed UFO investigators, debunkers, and historians to learn more about Oregon’s penchant for attracting the otherworldly. What we found just might surprise you.
The Sleuths
When you see something wrong in the sky, Oregon’s chapter of the Mutual UFO Network uses science to solve the mystery.
This image, said to have been taken along Wagner Creek Road near Medford in the 1960s, was submitted to MUFON field investigator William Puckett in 2008. The lack of additional evidence or information precluded any further investigation." data-image-selection="{"x1":0,"y1":0,"x2":423,"y2":600,"width":423,"height":600}">
This image, said to have been taken along Wagner Creek Road near Medford in the 1960s, was submitted to MUFON field investigator William Puckett in 2008. The lack of additional evidence or information precluded any further investigation.
ON AN EARLYFALL morning last October, Mercedes Corbin (note: not her real name) was driving west on Highway 26 when she spotted a tiny white light ahead of her hanging in the sky over North Plains. Still groggy from an early-morning flight, Corbin slowed to less than 40 miles per hour. The object grew larger and brighter until it hovered—soundless and wingless with flashing red and green lights—above a field just a few hundred feet away.
Heart pounding, Corbin took the next exit and circled back to the spot. But the strange object—which she described as a kind of Washington Monument on its side—had disappeared.
“I was not the only one who saw this,” she later wrote, noting that other trucks and cars had slowed down to watch it. “I am not crazy.”
Disturbed by the incident, Corbin began searching the Internet to find evidence of others who had seen the same thing. Instead, she found the Oregon chapter of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). The national organization was founded in 1969 for the purpose of cataloging and investigating UFO reports. MUFON is—to borrow a phrase from Ghostbusters—who you’re gonna call when you see something unexplainable in the sky.
With the government, NASA, and even the SETI Institute (which takes its name from the search for extraterrestrial intelligence) officially not interested, MUFON fielded some 100 reports of UFOs last year alone. But these guys aren’t some goofy Big Gulp–fueled pack of X-Files-ites, pointing to every passing satellite as proof of extraterrestrials. In fact, MUFON classified fewer than half of those 100 reports as “unidentified” (including Corbin’s flashing object), ruling everything else out as hoaxes, airplanes, weather balloons, or simply lacking enough evidence for thorough investigation. And, according to the Oregon MUFON chapter director, Tom Bowden, even those “unidentified” flying objects don’t necessarily mean we need to put together a welcoming committee.
“It means there’s something flying around that is not one of our aircraft, and somebody saw it,” says Bowden, a computer programmer for a financial firm who has been studying UFOs since his college years in Illinois in the 1960s. “It means that there’s a problem that has not been solved, and in order to solve it we need more data.”
Bowden’s pragmatism might seem somewhat surprising in a group that includes its fair share of eccentrics. (Some members believe UFOs come from another dimension.) But logic and science are at the core of MUFON’s beliefs. Like Bowden, many of MUFON’s top members have scientific or technical backgrounds: Keith Rowell, the group’s assistant director (and resident human encyclopedia), is a retired technical writer. William Puckett, an investigator, is a former EPA and National Weather Service meteorologist. And Bowden was an investigator from 1976 to 1988 for the now-defunct Aerial Phenomena Research Organization, a group of sober-minded scientists hailed by the air force scientific adviser on UFOs, J. Allen Hynek, as one of the country’s best civilian UFO groups.
“What we’re trying to do is study UFOs in a scholarly way—as academics would if they bothered to look into it,” says Rowell, who hopes to donate his personal library of 1,500 UFO-related books to a university after his death.
To that end, MUFON has developed an elaborate protocol for investigating UFO reports, all of it laid out in a 250-page investigator’s manual. When a report is filed, MUFON investigators interview witnesses, collect any photographic evidence (employing a strict, police-department-style chain of custody), and document even the most innocuous information they can about the sighting, from wind speeds to light levels. Then, the investigation begins in earnest. Drawing on astronomy, weather reports, and FAA flight logs, all possible earthly explanations are tested and discarded until they land on one that fits: planets, military aircraft, birds, atmospheric effects, flyovers of the International Space Station. If, in the end, nothing makes sense, the case is declared a UFO.
“Photographs by themselves are useless,” Bowden says. “They don’t have any evidentiary value. It’s just whatever someone says it is. We have to get to the original source of the photograph in order for it to be considered evidence.”
MUFON’s academic approach follows a long lineage of scientific exploration of UFOs dating back to the US Air Force’s Project Blue Book, a group of soldiers and scientists who began tracking and investigating “flying saucers” in 1952. When the military terminated the group in 1969, its work was left to volunteer groups like MUFON, which have become exceptionally image-conscious as a result of media and other groups painting them as kooks.
To wit: Monthly meetings are open to the public, but recording and photographs are typically prohibited. Case files are available online, but the names of witnesses and investigators are changed to pseudonyms. Interviews with members are granted, but only with reassurances that the purpose is not to poke fun—or worse. In an e-mail, prior to our interview, Bowden noted his concern: “They [the CIA] have operatives placed in many news organizations for the dual purpose of intercepting specific news items and for introducing propaganda.”
Some think this insularity has had a negative effect. “There’s not a lot of collaboration between groups,” says Puckett, who runs his own reporting website, ufosnw.com, though he has worked with Oregon MUFON on a number of investigations. “That’s a major problem.”
Indeed, methods of investigation, proof, and tracking vary widely across organizations and individuals. Without a centralized database or rigorous international standards of investigation, winning over a dubious public to the global UFO “phenomenon” remains a gargantuan task.
But it’s one Oregon’s MUFON continues to take on, united behind their common belief in science.
“I say look at the data,” says Puckett, who in 15 years of study has never seen a UFO himself. “You only need one case to be real, and there are thousands out there. Everybody can’t be crazy.”

Four accounts from our extraterrestrial past

CASE: THEFIRST “FLYINGSAUCER”
Date: June 1947 Location: Oregon and Washington
Rescue pilot Kenneth Arnold (left), was flying east from Mount Rainier when he spotted nine silvery objects flying in an echelon formation at supersonic speed ahead of him. The objects moved in an “eerie” side-to-side fashion for about two minutes before jetting out of view, Arnold said. When he landed, Arnold recounted his tale in exceptional detail, noting the angle of the objects’ trajectory, their speed, and estimated size. The crafts, according to Arnold, were more triangular than circular—like curved wings. However, in his discussion with a reporter from the East Oregonian, he described the crafts as moving like saucers “skipping across water.” The paper ran a story about “flying saucers,” and the term was born. Arnold’s sighting may have been the first of its kind, but a veritable deluge of UFO reports across the country followed. The infamous Roswell “crash” occurred only one month after Arnold’s tale was published, and in 1947 and 1948 the military received hundreds of similar reports.

CASE: THEFIRSTPHOTOEVIDENCE
Date: May 1950 Location: McMinnville, Oregon
On a cool May evening, Evelyn Trent was feeding chickens on her McMinnville-area farm when she saw something unusual in the sky and called for her husband, Paul, to grab the camera. The two black-and-white snapshots the Trents took—the first photos of a UFO in the US—are grainy and dark, but the disc-like object hanging in the center of both images is crystal clear. Every grain of the Trents’ two black-and-white photos has been examined, analyzed, and reanalyzed over the past 62 years. Debunkers have argued that the Trents must have hung an object from the power line near the top of the photo, but UFOlogists have concluded the pictures are real. Despite the publicity storm that followed them, the Trents lived out their next 40 years (they passed away in the ’90s) quietly: they never sought to monetize their fame, never asked for their negatives back, and never reported anything similar again.

CASE: MUTILATEDCOWS
Date: October 1990 Location: Vancouver, Washington
Between June and October, Richard Fazio, owner of New Columbia Garden Farms on the banks of the Columbia River, found five of his cattle dead and scattered across three different pastures. Many cows’ organs and parts had been carefully removed —eyes, ear, tongue, rectum, udder, genitals, belly skin. Oregon State University analyzed tissue samples and determined the wounds were consistent with “electrosurgical excision” and “heat-induced injury,” possibly from laser. None of the injuries matched the typical explanations for cattle deaths (disease, weather, or predators). Two neighbors testified they had heard unusual sounds in the night before the carcasses were discovered. One of them said she had been startled by a “little man” carrying a “flashlight” in one of the pastures. The Clark County Sheriff’s Office quickly closed the case—without ever charging a suspect in the crime.

CASE: CROPCIRCLES
Date: July 1998 Location: Hubbard, Oregon
On his approach into Hubbard’s Lenhardt Airport, a pilot saw an intricate pattern of circles, lines, and arcs in the wheat fields below. Farmer Doug Aamodt claimed to not know anything about the design on his land, igniting a media frenzy and sending dozens of UFO experts to the site. After analyzing the formation’s measurements (about 250 feet long and 170 feet wide), soil samples, and swirls, researchers determined that it was consistent with other crop circles, but they remained uncertain about how it got there. No official explanation was ever found, but at least one witness claimed to have seen an unusually bright object in the area at night, just before the circles were discovered. Since then two similar crop circles have been reported in the same field. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the field had a history of crop circles as early as the 1920s, well before UFOs became part of popular culture.

Oregon’s UFO History in Brief
MAY 1949 A fishing party on the Rogue River spies an unusual hovering object through binoculars. The description of the saucer-shaped craft given by two of the men is very similar to the one in the McMinnville case a year later.
SEPTEMBER 1959 A policeman and FAA employee at the Redmond Airport see a bright, reddish object hovering 200 feet off the ground. It registers on multiple nearby radar screens before rising out of sight with a “long yellow and red flame from lower side.”
JANUARY 1973 A veteran and his family driving south along the coast encounter three “yellowish glowing objects” near Coos Bay. The man gets out to inspect them and finds a large object made of a sparkling, gemlike material.
MARCH 1981 A man listening to police radio frequencies on his CB captures a 30-minute audio recording of sounds coming from a 30-foot-wide orange light hovering above the Columbia River near St. Helens, lighting up both banks.
FEBRUARY 1984 A 16-year-old driving home with her boyfriend around 11 p.m. near Fern Ridge comes across a black, triangular object hovering over a marshy area by the side of the road. Other drivers pull over to observe it and then speed off, frightened.
1985 A flight attendant on a trip to Portland serves a passenger with “very piercing eyes and an unusual forehead” traveling without any luggage. The passenger inquires about the mass and velocity of the plane but doesn’t know the names of everyday objects.
SUMMER 1989 Ranchers in La Pine report 35 cattle found slaughtered and mutilated over the course of a few weeks. The Deschutes County DA heads up a task force whose report remains secret to this day.
JULY 1992 Nine witnesses at Glenwood Park in Southeast Portland see a “very bright” and “intense” light hovering silently above the area for almost 30 minutes. An out-of-focus VHS recording shows a glowing red dot against the night sky.
MARCH 1996 Two witnesses capture a video of six glowing spheres hovering in the afternoon sky above Lake Grove. The unidentified orbs are gold, blue, and pink and appear sporadically over the next two hours.
DECEMBER 2004 A Springfield man photographs a “very, very bright” bluish circle with a red rim in the night sky—which he believes to be the under-side of a UFO. Investigators initially believe it could be a planet, but none should have been visible that night.
JULY 2005 A Eugene couple photographs a “bright reflective” saucer moving across the sky. The FAA won’t provide radar data to investigators, but witnesses report that three military jets show up minutes later and tail the object until all are out of sight.
AUGUST 2005 In Eugene, several independent witnesses report “unusual” bright lights in the midnight sky, close to the ground and moving erratically. A grainy picture from one of the witnesses shows a red circular object, glowing yellow on the edges.
Real or Fake?
The country’s leading UFO debunker, Robert Sheaffer, tells us why he doesn’t think Oregon’s famous Trent UFO photos are real.
GRAYSKIES The Trents’ photos show an overcast sky, but the Weather Bureau recorded clear skies for the entire day the Trents reported taking them.
SHADOWS The Trents claimed to have taken the pictures at sunset—but the angle of shadows on objects in the foreground suggests the sun was in the east.
SAUCERPLACEMENT If the object in the Trent photos were far away and moving, it should appear different in size and location in each of the images, which were taken roughly 10 feet apart. But when the two photos are compared, the UFO object remains in the same place and roughly the same size in relation to other objects in the photo (like the power lines above it).
SO … WHATELSECOULD IT BE? If you look at the picture long enough, Sheaffer says, the UFO starts to resemble a 1940s truck side mirror.

Visit TRAPPIST-1e! NASA Travel Poster Advertises Exoplanet Discovery
Visit TRAPPIST-1e! NASA Travel Poster Advertises Exoplanet Discovery
By Tariq Malik, Space.com Managing Editor
Visit TRAPPIST-1e! NASA released this exoplanet travel poster to commemorate the discovery of seven Earth-size planets, three of them in the habitable zone, around the star TRAPPIST-1 39 light-years from Earth.
Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
If you're looking for an ultra-long vacation to an ultra-small dwarf star, a new NASA travel poster has just the trip for you: a star trek to TRAPPIST-1e!
"Planet Hop From TRAPPIST-1e," the NASA poster proclaims, showing what appears to be two children marveling at a view of the system's six other planet in the sky. "Voted Best 'Hab Zone' Vacation Within 12 Parsecs of Earth." TRAPPIST-1e is one of three planets (the others are TRAPPIST-1f and TRAPPIST-1g) in the TRAPPIST-1 system located within the cool dwarf star's habitable zone, that "Goldilocks zone" where liquid water could exist. [How Long Would It Take to Fly to TRAPPIST-1?]
The system is just over 39 light-years from Earth. That's about 235 trillion miles, or as you've read above, about 12 parsecs.
Twelve parsecs! Han Solo's Millennium Falcon from "Star Wars" could easily make the trip. After all, it's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs.
Steven Barone, who runs YouTube channel UFOs In THE USA, is convinced he is filming alien activity or even top secret US Airforce test craft leaving the Blue Diamond Hills, which is near the Nellis US Airforce base in Nevada.
But, as Express.co.uk reported this week, sceptics have claimed they are just the headlights of vehicles coming down the hillside that he is recording.
In a bid to prove the critics wrong, Mr Barone filmed himself trying to climb the remote hillside to prove that no vehicles drive on it, and to also see if he could find a secret entrance to the base.
In a video, uploaded to YouTube, he said: "Too many people believe that the lights on this hill are off-road vehicles.
"There is no way that is possible. The land on this small mountain is under BLM control.
"It is also very close to National Conservation land.
"Riding any motorised vehicles is strictly forbidden and carries a huge fine if caught.
YouTube*GETTY
Steven barone hopes to find the entrance to a secret alien or military base in Nevada.
"Whatever these lights are they are extremely strange.
"I have videos of the same objects lining up in the air - as many as 12 or 13 of them - in a perfectly horizontal row which would be impossible if they were on the ground.
"I have checked and double checked and no clubs, businesses or anybody else has been riding up there.
"The only legal place to drive off-road vehicles is about 30 miles from here."
He and his wife Sue set out to try to climb the hill in the video, but were left scratching their heads at the bottom.
He added: "My wife, me and our dog attempted to climb it a couple weeks ago so I could prove the soil up there was undisturbed but we couldn't find any way to get up there.
"Everything is fenced in, there is construction going on, but we cannot find a way to get in here, everything is blocked off."
Mr Barone has been filming the area for three years and has scores of videos on his YouTube channel, that he suggests are alien UFOs or top secret US space vehicles hovering over the Nellis Air Force Base.
The base, like top-secret Area 51 in the Nevada desert, is alleged by conspiracy theorists to be where the US authorities hide the remains of crashed flying saucers and dead aliens, and where secretive technology is developed and tested.
Some even claim that visiting aliens have been allowed to use the bases to keep them from public view.
Fellow UFO conspiracy theorist Scott C Waring also believes there is an alien base on the hillside.
He blogged on ufosightingsdaily.com about Mr Barone's video.
He said: "This is the location of the UFOs appearing from the hill top.
"The hill is completely surrounded by a fence and getting in looks difficult, but not impossible.
"Steven's on his way to finding a way to the top, which is an entrance to an underground base area.
"If he focuses his thoughts downward in a open and relaxed way, he may establish mental contact with the aliens and they may come up or take him down for a meet and greet session."

Five on Friday: 5 unusual natural world sightings in Singapore
Five on Friday: 5 unusual natural world sightings in Singapore
In our regular light-hearted look at what has been making the headlines, Ramesh William recalls some other rare sightings apart from the "fire rainbow" that set tongues wagging this week.
The water spout that was spotted near East Coast Park on Aug 6, 2016.
(Photo: Chua Chin Hon/TODAY
SINGAPORE: Folks on this sunny isle did not know what to make of a swirl of colours which emerged from behind some innocuous-looking clouds on Monday (Feb 20).
Was it a UFO? A sign from the heavens, perhaps?
Most people, however, just marvelled at a unique optical phenomenon known as a circumhorizontal arc, or - to the layman - a “fire rainbow”.
Looking suspiciously like a Tycho album cover (it would have been nice had it appeared during Laneway), people gave it all sorts of names from Paddle Pop rainbow to the Southern Lights.
Oh, the wit.
Speaking of optical phenomena, here are examples of the opposite: Sightings that are becoming familiar mainstays in various parts of the island to the point of boredom.
Rats (Bukit Batok), wild boars (Punggol), otters (Bishan, Marina Bay) and monitor lizards (no fixed abode) hardly elicit a second glance these days.
With that in mind, we thought we would go to the other end of the spectrum and showcase five rare natural world sightings that got us all in a tizzy.
1. DOUBLE RAINBOW DELIGHT
Two for the price of one. It is a bargain few Singaporeans can resist. Which is why when a double rainbow appeared last September, many whipped out their phones and set social media alight.
The science: A double rainbow occurs when the light is reflected twice in a raindrop - leading to two different reflections, coming from different angles.
Believed by some cultures to be a sign of good fortune, double rainbows are not altogether once-in-a-blue-moon rare.
There was one in July 2015 and also during the auspicious Chinese New Year period this year. But still, rare enough to cause a stir.
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong called on his Facebook fans to share their pics of the unique event during Chinese New Year festivities.
2.WELCOME BACK MALAYAN TAPIR
“If that’s a wild boar, why is it wearing diapers?” the driver asked, squinting.
“Erm, I dunno dear … maybe it has a weak bladder,” said her husband. “Taking precautions I guess. It’s so hard to find a loo around here.”
We will never know for sure if such a conversation took place along Changi Coastal Road on a balmy June night last year.
But one imagines it cannot be far from the incredulous chatter that would have occurred upon the sighting of a Malayan tapir - one that looked as if it was on a late-night mosey after a particularly heavy supper. Hey, we have all been there!
The Malayan tapir's biggest claim to fame in Singapore is that it is among the first animals you will see upon entering the zoo in Mandai (on the left, after the gift shop). And as for a sighting in the wild? Well, you would have to go back all the way to 1986 - on Pulau Ubin.
Forget the double rainbow, or even unicorns - this is a rare sighting. Goodness only knows when the last wild Malayan tapir made it to our mainland. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has said there are anywhere between 1,500 and 2,000 left in Malaysia.
And then after a fleeting glimpse, the Changi Malayan tapir vanished. Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (ACRES) said it most likely swam back to Malaysia.
Well, till next time then. Jumpa lagi.
3. WATERSPOUTING ABOUT
Do not be fooled by its innocent sounding name. Waterspouts can do some real damage and the video above can attest to its might.
Thankfully not much mayhem (apart from getting people all uber-excited) was caused when a larger-than-usual version turned up off East Coast Park in August 2016.
According to the National Environment Agency, there is an average of three waterspout occurrences reported over Singapore waters every year.
Singapore’s thunderstorm-prone climate makes it all the more susceptible to waterspouts, but one as massive as this is extremely rare.
Still, if you are hanging about Bedok Jetty chasing fish and you see something similar heading your way, you best be on your skates sharpish.
4. DOLPHINS, SWIMMING WILD
An Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin spotted off St John's Island in August 2015.
Dolphins in captivity have been in the spotlight in recent years in Singapore, with questions asked about their living conditions.
So when footage or photos appear of dolphins freewheeling with joy off Singapore’s shores, it definitely calls for beers all round.
The Wild Singapore site has, over the years, blogged about dolphin sightings in the vicinity of the Southern Islands. Wild dolphins were sighted off Raffles Lighthouse in 2006, and off St John’s Island and off Sisters Island in 2007. Dolphins were also seen near Singapore’s landfill island Pulau Semakau in 2009.
The most recent sighting of wild dolphins was in August 2015 when four Indo-Pacific humpback pink dolphins were seen off St John’s Island. Joseph Chng, who spotted the dolphins while out at sea, said he had to perform an emergency stop to prevent his boat from running down the cute things.
5. SUPERMOON
Nov 14, 2016: A date that will live long in infamy. That was when the moon was at its closest to Earth in nearly 70 years.
Why infamy? Well, because the supermoon was a damp squib for many of us. Although the moon was 35,400km closer, cloud cover that night meant there was very little big lunar action to be had.
Yet, from photos that did emerge, we know that there were plenty who lucked out and managed to snag photos of the swollen moon - except that it was early the next morning.
Most of us were still in bed. I was quite exhausted after spending most of the previous evening like a demented maniac, opening my bedroom window, peering out and then shutting it again every 10 minutes or so.
Skygazers will not be able to see the moon this big again until Nov 25, 2034. At least there is some breathing space before we are all left disappointed again.
Vous découvrirez avec stupéfaction que l’armée française détenait déjà en 1954 un ovni dans un blockhaus de bord de mer, mis sous haute surveillance militaire.
Une question se pose néanmoins : mais depuis combien de temps ?
Les USA avec plusieurs crashs d’ovnis récupérés, dont celui de Roswell, ne sont donc absolument pas les seuls a détenir des vaisseaux d’une autre technologie déjà durant la dernière guerre les nazis en avait récupéré au moins un. En septembre 1954 Marius Dewilde est témoin de l’atterrissage d’un vaisseau et de ses occupants, posé sur la voie ferrée près de sa maison de garde-barrière. Son histoire a défrayé la chronique à l’époque, et plus tard il a raconté son histoire dans un livre: « Ne résistez pas aux extra-terrestres ».
Nous sommes le vendredi 10 septembre 1954, il est environ 22 h 30. J’habite une petite maison à Quarouble, dans le nord de la France. C’est une maison de garde-barrière, donc très proche de la voie ferrée. Les « soucoupes volantes »? Connais pas ou plutôt, j’en entends parler comme tout le monde, mais pour moi, c’est de la foutaise……..
Je suis un homme simple, un ouvrier métallurgiste qui ne pense qu’a améliorer son confort. J’ai pu acheter une télévision: en 1954, ce n’est déjà pas si mal. Ce soir là, ma femme regardait le petit écran tandis que moi, je préférait lire mon journal, car en tant qu’ancien marin un article me passionnait, il s’agissait du drame de l’Abeille.
Soudain, Kiki, mon chien, s’est mis a aboyer d’une façon anormale depuis sa niche qui est à l’extérieur de la maison. – Qu’est-ce qui lui prend ? questionne ma femme.
– Je n’en sais rien, je vais aller voir. Je pose mon journal, prends une torche électrique et sors de la maison pendant que ma femme demeure assise devant le poste de télévision. Dehors, la nuit est sombre. Je ne vois qu’un écran noir. Je braque ma torche électrique sur Kiki, littéralement terrorisé, levant le museau vers le ciel pour « hurler a la mort ».
Je ne suis pas superstitieux, mais ce hurlement me colle un mauvais frisson sur la peau:
-Tais-toi !
Kiki obéit, mais en gémissant, comme s’il souffrait. J’observe les alentours que je balaie de ma torche électrique: rien de particulier! Je me dirige alors vers la droite de la maison qui est entourée par une palissade de 1 mètre 20 de hauteur, je l’ai construite moi-même pour empêcher les enfants et le chien d’aller traîner sur la voie ferrée. En arrivant près de la barrière, j’éteins la torche et satisfait un besoin naturel.
C’est alors que j’aperçois, sur ma gauche, une masse sombre posée sur les rails, a environ six ou sept mètres de moi. Je pense tout d’abord a un wagon mais, rapidement, je me rends compte que l’engin ressemble a tout ce que l’on pourrait imaginer sauf a un wagon ferroviaire.
Brusquement, derrière moi, près de la maison des bruits de pas… Je ne m’affole pas outre mesure car, souvent, des contrebandiers empruntent ce chemin, près de la maison, pour passer en Belgique. Le chien recommence a s’exciter, allant en tous sens, tirant sur sa chaîne. Des ombres se profilent et avancent vers moi.
J’ai trente-trois ans, ma taille est bien au-dessus de la moyenne, je pèse soixante-quinze kilos, je suis tout a fait sûr de ma force; ce sont probablement des gamins en maraude des chapardeurs de poulailler. Pourquoi songerais-je a des gamins ?
Pour deux raisons: ils en ont la taille et cherchent a fuir – sans précipitation d’ailleurs – en se dirigeant vers la porte de la palissade. D’un bond, je leur barre le chemin et braque sur eux le faisceau lumineux de ma torche. Stupéfaction! La lumière que je projette se réfléchit sur leur tête comme sur du verre. Ils sont vêtus d’une sorte de combinaison sombre qui semble être de la matière très souple.
Ma première idée: en ceinturer un. On dirait alors que cette pensée agressive (probablement captée) déclenche un rayon de lumière qui jaillit de la masse sombre posée sur les rails. Ce rayon m’enveloppe en me paralysant de la tête aux pieds. Je voudrais crier, bouger, impossible.
Seul mon cerveau fonctionne d’une manière on ne peut plus lucide. Je ressens des picotements dans tout le corps tandis que je vois et entends parfaitement.
Ils marchent sur la dalle de ciment, franchissent la porte de la palissade, se fondent dans la nuit, rejoignent la masse sombre posée sur la voie. Un bruit de porte a glissière me parvient et, bientôt, un sifflement qui s’intensifie. Je perçois un souffle tiède, très agréable a respirer, comme l’odeur des foins fraîchement coupés.
Le rayon lumineux disparaît et je retrouve, instantanément, l’usage de mes membres. Je vois alors l’engin – toujours une masse sombre – qui monte dans le ciel: peut-être à la verticale, environ trente ou quarante mètres. L’engin s’illumine peu a peu, devient fluorescent, orange, presque rouge. C’est fini. Il a disparu …
CHAPITRE 4 (le lendemain quelques heures après la déposition à la police)
Cela commence par une voix d’homme derrière moi. – Monsieur Dewilde ? Je me retourne
– Oui, c’est moi
– C’est pour la Voix du Nord. Pourriez-vous m’accorder une interview, s’il vous plaît?
Apres avoir pris des notes sur son carnet, le journaliste me scrute
– Vous devriez rentrer chez vous, monsieur Dewilde, il y a beaucoup de monde…
Beaucoup de monde: bel euphémisme ! Un cordon de police empêche une foule de curieux d’envahir le terrain qui entoure la maison. Dans celle-ci ma femme reçoit le commissaire Gouchet tandis que, dans le même instant, arrivent la gendarmerie de l’Air et la D.S.T. Et ce n’est pas fini, les « envahisseurs » ne sont pas les extraterrestres d’un mauvais feuilleton télévisé.. mais bien plutôt toutes les polices, y compris la police de l’Air de Lille et de Paris munies d’appareillages.
Ce qui se passe alors dépasse l’entendement humain et j’ai l’impression d’être transporté dans un monde démentiel ou les ordres fusent toutes parts, ou chacun réclame une priorite d’action: A cet égard, ce sont des militaires revétus d’une combinaison antiradiations qui s’imposent en tout premier lieu: mon locataire, toute ma famille et moi-même sommes soumis à la d étection des compteurs Geiger, ensuite c’est le tour des animaux et du terrain. Résultat de l’opération: « La radioactivite est supportable pour l’être humain et les animaux ».
La preuve est faite: L’ENDROIT OU L’ENGIN S’EST POSE EST RADIOACTIF !
Je ne devrais pas trop me réjouir de cette « preuve », elle va entraîner des conséquences désastreuses pour moi.
L’enquete sur les lieux est brusquement interrompue par une rumeur houleuse venant de la foule maintenue par le cordon de police. A cette rumeur s’ajoute un grincement strident suivi d’un grondement lourd.
Le premier moment de surprise passe, la Police et l’Armée tirent les conclusions de ce nouveau phénomène, plus « rationnel » que l’atterrissage dont j’ai été témoin: un train, en passant lentement pour ne pas provoquer d’accident parmi l’attroupement, a provoque un affaissement de la voie (le grondement sourd) tandis que ses roues patinaient sur les rails (le grincement strident).
L’affaissement s’est produit à l’endroit même ou l’astronef s’était posé quelques heures plus tôt.
Le machiniste immobilise sa locomotive, met pied a terre pour aller téléphoner tandis que les enquêteurs, stupéfaits, constatent une friabilite anormale de la voie et du ballast.
Quelques instants plus tard , le machiniste s’écrie: – Le téléphone ne fonctionne pas!
– Je sais, dis-je, il ne fonctionne plus depuis l’atterrissage.
– Qu’est-ce que c’est encore que cette histoire? gronde une voix aux mâles accents militaires.
Cette voix ne dira plus rien dès que celui qui en a l’usage constatera que les piles sont neuves et paradoxalement vidées.
Je ne peux alors résister au plaisir de lui montrer ma torche électrique et mon poste transistor! Il compare, rumine, tente de ne rien laisser paraître sur un front soucieux et qui se voudrait intelligent, mais derriére lequel il n’y a que le vide de l’incompréhension !
Prés de la voie, un officier attire l’attention de tous:
– Venez voir ici! Il y a un creux, une sorte de cuvette sur une longueur d’au moins six métres, il y a également des traces sur le travers du ballast et des entailles sur les traverses des rails.
Les preuves s’accumulent et, bizarrement, chaque fois qu’un nouvel élément accrédite mes declarations, j’ai la désagreable sensation de poser le pied sur les marches d’un escalier qui descendrait aux enfers.
Je sais, désormais, que la précognition n’est pas un vain mot!.
CHAPITRE SIXIEME (quelques jours plus tard)
Werner Von Braun n’est pas l’inventeur des V.1 et V.2…….
Le temps s’écoulait mais j’en perdais pratiquement la notion. Depuis combien de temps étais-je dans cet endroit bizarre ou l’on enfermait, indifféremment, aussi bien les fous, « les individus dangereux » que les lepreux? 4, 5, 6 jours? Comment savoir avec ces piqûres journalieres qui me maintenaient dans un etat semi-comateux. Et toujours les interrogatoires, la sempiternelle question: Vous n’avez pas tout dit, n’est-ce pas ?
Un matin, la porte s’ouvre:
– Habillez-vous Dewilde, on y va.
Ou ? Quelle importance! Je me sens habité par une espèce de fatalisme a toute epreuve, car l’échéance est fatale: Je m’en sortirai, d’une manière ou d’une autre, sans avoir a intervenir personnellement. Quant à expliquer ce sentiment, cela m’est impossible: je sais, voila tout.
Une nouvelle fois,le fourgon. Une heure de route. Je n’ai ni ceinture ni lacets.
En descendant du fourgon, je découvre un camp militaire qui est, en fait, une ancienne prison civile. La fête continue: médecins, interrogatoires, piqûres. Je me souviens du conseil de l’infirmier « l’individu classé dangereux » se fait doux comme un agneau, mais il ne rajoute rien a ses dépositions précédentes.
Durant trois jours, c’est l’habituel carrousel: hopital, camp militaire, camp militaire, hopital: Ils sont inlassables. Moi aussi.
Ils optent enfin pour le camp militaire où le médecin est un commandant qui officie dans le service du professeur Merle d’Aubigne. J’y demeure quelques jours.
Aujourd’hui, en 1980, je me demande si les autorités qui me détenaient n’ont pas commis une regrettable erreur en me laissant parler à un autre détenu, lui aussi classé « dangereux » ou « fou », et avec lequel j’ai longuement conversé, il ne m’a paru ni dangereux, ni fou. Il s’agit du savant Georges Claude qui voulut vendre son invention a la France, laquelle refusa parce qu’elle jugeait cette invention aussi inutile que coûteuse. Georges Claude trouva acquéreur en Allemagne et les nazis attribuèrent la paternité de l’invention à Werner von Braun !
On m’accuse, maintenant de trahison ! me dit Georges Claude.
Mais si j’ai trahi, pourquoi n’informe-t-on pas l’opinion publique ?
– Parce que j’aurais mon mot a dire!
Intéressante digression, non ?
Est-ce bien cela que vous avez vu ? Electrochocs, penthotal, séances d’hypnose, finalement, a mon insu, j’ai probablement parlé. Mais n’anticipons pas. On m’eveille en pleine nuit, on m’emmène jusqu’au fourgon qui, a l’aube, stoppe au bord de la mer. Laquelle ? Je n’en sais rien. Je suis encore sous l’effet des « calmants ». J’entends cependant le bruit des vagues dans l’obscurité de la nuit et je respire, à pleins poumons, l’air salin.
On me pousse vers des marches que je descends, me voici devant un blockhaus surveillé, gardé par des fusiliers marins. L’officier qui m’accompagne désigne des meurtrières dans la masse de béton.
– Regardez a l’intérieur.
J’obtempère tanisé, je n’en crois pas mes yeux.
L’officier me murmure a l’oreille:
– Est-ce bien cela que vous avez vu ? Dans une grande pièce à l’intérieur de l’édifice, je vois un énorme engin de forme lenticulaire, long d’environ dix mètres et parfaitement éclairé.
Je l’observe tandis qu’il se situe en contrebas par rapport à mon angle de vision.
– Est-ce que l’engin que vous avez vu ressemble a celui-ci ? insiste l’officier.
Je déglutis difficilement. – Il m’est impossible de répondre affirmativement, car je n’ai vu aucun détail lors de la nuit du 10 septembre, sinon la forme approximative de l’engin.
A ma grande surprise, l’officier semble se contenter de cette réponse. Il me laisse tout a mon observation qui ne durera pas moins de trente minutes, après quoi, on m’a ramené chez moi, à Quarouble.
Etait-ce bien la fin du cauchemar ?
***** L’armée récupère la boite*****
Il n’y avait pas un quart d’heure que j’étais de retour à Quarouble qu’une Jeep de l’armée de Terre s’arrêtait devant la maison. A son bord: un commandant, un capitaine et deux hommes de troupe en armes. Suivi de près par le capitaine, le commandant s’approcha: – Monsieur Dewilde, donnez-nous la boite.
– La boite ? Quelle boite ?
– Allons… vous savez bien la boite
– Je ne sais pas de quoi vous parlez.
– Nous savons ou elle se trouve, monsieur Dewilde.
– Eh bien, dans ce cas, vous n’avez qu’a la prendre.
Le commandant eut un sourire circonspect.
– C’est ce que nous allons faire. A mon grand étonnement, je vis les deux officiers et les deux soldats se diriger vers la cave. Ils réapparurent quelques instants plus tard avec la boite !
– Monsieur Dewilde, déclare le commandant, on vous paiera cet objet. On vous le paiera très cher. La somme que vous recevrez sera vraiment très importante.
Je n’ai plus jamais entendu parler de la boite, quant à l’argent promis par le commandant, celui-ci a du oublier de me le faire parvenir…
Churchill reportedly quashed UFO sighting to avoid panic
Churchill reportedly quashed UFO sighting to avoid panic
Editor, the Tribune:Many thanks to Rudi Keller for his excellent articles on Winston Churchill’s essay on space, alien life, atomic bombs and several other matters of great scientific importance.
An online search regarding the essay included a New York Times article titled “Winston Churchill Wrote of Alien Life in a Lost Essay,” which described Churchill’s deep concern regarding UFOs. The article notes that Churchill was so enthralled with the likelihood of life on other planets “that he even ordered a suspected sighting of an unidentified flying object by the Royal Air Force to be kept secret for 50 years to avoid ‘mass panic.’”
Interestingly, an Aug. 5, 2010, BBC News report quoted Nick Pope, a former UFO investigator for Britain’s Ministry of Defence, as saying, “What happened is that a scientist whose grandfather was one of his (Churchill’s) bodyguards said look, Churchill and Eisenhower got together to cover up this phenomenal UFO sighting that was witnessed by an RAF crew on their way back from a bombing raid. The reason apparently was because Churchill believed it would cause mass panic and it would shatter people’s religious views.”
From the 1950s to 2009, the British Ministry of Defence collected more than 5,000 pages of UFO reports and related documents. The ministry’s UFO inquiry desk was closed in 2009, and the files were made available on the British National Archives Website.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – It’s a story of cosmic proportions that’s throwing the astronomy community into orbit. On Wednesday, NASA announced the discovery of 7 Earth-sized planets orbiting a dwarf star 40 light years away, in a system they're calling TRAPPIST-1.
Astronomy experts say 3 of those 7 planets are orbiting in the habitable zone, where conditions are optimum for liquid water to exist.
“That star seems to have a Goldilocks Zone or a habitable zone,” says Dave DeBruyn, astronomy specialist at the Grand Rapids Public Museum. “Which is quite large too by comparison to a lot of other stars that have been investigated.”
They are all orbiting a red dwarf star much smaller than the star we orbit.
“It’s 8% as massive as our sun. That’s as small as stars can go,” says Lawrence Molnar, astronomy professor, Calvin College. “It might be quite common to have large groups of planets around these small stars and these small stars are one of the most common stars around.”
And since dwarf stars burn dimmer, their life span is infinitely longer.
“Stars this small, live so long that no one has ever died,” says Molnar.
Many scientists are hopeful to one day find the existence of life on other worlds like the newly discovered planets.
The truth is out there, and science may now know just where to look.
"They of course have been looking for other worlds out there similar to ours and they keep on finding them. It becomes more evident every day that there could be something out there," says Bill Konkolesky with the Michigan Chapter of the Mutual UFO Network.
"It's a subject that's fascinated me since I was a little kid and here I am 76 years old and still doing it," said DeBruyn.

Weird Lights Over Korean City Have People Talking About Aliens
Weird Lights Over Korean City Have People Talking About Aliens
Strange columns of yellow light disrupted the peaceful night sky. Over the last week, hundreds of residents complained about the light’s appearance. For three nights, the illumination settled over Busan, South Korea. With over 3.6 million people, the second largest city in the country always has people staring at the sky. Video footage of the phenomenon has led to claims about UFOs, black holes, and squid.
Most of the internet’s interest in the occurrence relates to the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). The organization operates the Large Hadron Collider. The collider is the largest and most powerful machine on the planet. Its purpose is to slam particles together, just below light speed, in order to learn more about physics. However, opponents claim that by conducting these experiments, CERN places everyone on Earth in jeopardy. The main fear is that the powerful magnets along the 16-mile long track could inadvertently create a black hole. That hole would quickly swallow the Earth. These same advocates who oppose CERN claim the lights above Busan result from the start of the world-ending black hole.
Alternatively, others believe that the lights are UFOs observing the tensions between North and South Korea. Some researchers believe the presence of aliens in the area indicates that Korea will be the site of the apocalypse. Additionally, a subset of this group believes the lights are actually god-like entities that travel through space without ships. Based on calls fielded by police in Busan, many adherents to the CERN and UFO theories live in the city.
However, there is a more pedestrian explanation for the lights that does not involve aliens or the end of the world. Rather, these backers claim that fishing boats are the reason for the moving lights in the sky. Busan is South Korea’s busiest port. This also happens to be one of the busiest squid fishing times of the year. According to a representative from the Busan Regional Weather Bureau, lights from the squid boats reflected off ice crystals in the air to form “light poles.” Additionally, he said such anomalies are common on the country’s eastern coast. Nevertheless, skepticism remains for many due to the synchronized movement of the lights. These movements do not match the movements of the fishing vessels.
Earlier this week, we brought you reportsof an alien's plans to land a UFO on Bourbon Street on Fat Tuesday. Should you happen to spot the alien — or a UFO at any other time — Reginald Buck, Louisiana's state director of Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), is ready to document your sighting.
Buck has been involved in UFO investigation since 2009, when a mysterious object appeared outside his window on a flight from Laredo, Texas, to Houston.
"The sun was setting in the west behind us, and I saw this thing pass right by the plane, very close to my window," he recalls. "It was a perfect sphere ... a little bit bigger than a grapefruit, but not as big as a basketball.
"My first thought was, 'That doesn't belong here.' My second thought was, 'If that would have hit the plane I'd be dead right now.'"
Buck was always interested in UFOs, but his sighting kicked a hobby into high gear, prompting him to join MUFON and become one of its investigators.
With two other investigators in Louisiana, Buck checks out about four reports of UFOs each month. Using research, phone calls and interviews, investigators basically go through a process of debunking. They look at weather patterns, check whether the International Space Station was visible that night, ask around to see if anyone in the area used a drone (a particular issue in this state, where Buck says drones often are used for deer hunting), and do everything possible to find a reasonable explanation for what the person saw.
"You want to try to get rid of all the regular things, all the basic stuff ... [to call it] an unidentified flying object," Buck says.
Surprisingly, Buck is kind of an agnostic about whether UFOs come from aliens. He thinks there could be any number of explanations, including alternate dimensions, previously unobserved occurrences here on Earth and more.
"We just know that the phenomenon itself is a real thing. People see things they don't understand. They see them in the ground, they see them in the air, they see them on the water and in the oceans," he says. "As far as we know there's nothing man-made or terrestrial that can do the things that a lot of these reported things can do. ... [Sometimes] the alien hypothesis is really the only thing that fits."
To become an investigator, Buck joined MUFON, acquired its official investigator's manual and took a written exam. There's also a background check and and training with a more experienced investigator. The group is nationwide and always looking for more help; in Louisiana aspiring investigators can visit the organization's Facebook page for more information. Be warned, it's a volunteer gig — in his day job, Buck is a corporate trainer for oil and gas companies.
And if you're convinced you saw a UFO at some point in the past, MUFON welcomes entries to its historical database. Though Buck says there's not a lot he can do with sightings from prior decades, people report them in great detail more often than you'd think and they sometimes can be cross-referenced with other entries to create a more complete picture of the incident.
Despite a lot of duds, including false sightings of Chinese lanterns and lights from neighbor's parties, Buck says every so often he'll run across something truly unexplainable.
"[Being an investigator is] not as exciting as some people think it is," he says. "But every once in a while, something will happen and you'll think 'wow, this is kinda cool.'"

“Tesla’s torsievelden ontdekt boven Bosnische piramides”
“Tesla’s torsievelden ontdekt boven Bosnische piramides”
Piramides zijn energieversterkers die informatie versturen via de zon. Dat schrijft dr. Sam Osmanagich in de krant Sarajevo Times.
Volgens hem zijn Tesla’s torsievelden ontdekt boven de top van de Bosnische Zonnepiramide.
Dergelijke velden zouden sneller dan het licht reizen en wijzen op het bestaan van een kosmisch internet dat kan worden gebruikt voor supersnelle intergalactische communicatie.
Sneller dan het licht
De scalaire of staande golven die in torsievelden ontstaan reizen sneller dan het licht, aldus Osmanagich. “Tot wel 10 miljard keer sneller.”
De torsievelden kunnen volgens hem ieder hemellichaam passeren zonder energie te verspillen.
Ze kunnen dus grote afstanden afleggen zonder dat er informatie verloren gaat of beschadigt raakt.
Kwarts
“De zon geeft ons niet alleen warmte en energie, maar ook informatie,” zei hij. “Ze reageert op ons DNA en zuivert ons.”
In termen van energie is de piramide de meest krachtige geometrische vorm, merkte hij op. “Boven een krachtige energieplek wordt de piramide een energieversterker.”
Tijdens opgravingen werden rond de Zonnepiramide grote hoeveelheden kwarts gevonden. “Het is bekend dat kwarts energieën opvangt en versterkt,” zei Osmanagich.
Energiestraal
Hij merkte op dat natuurkundigen, antropologen en geluidsdeskundigen al sinds 2010 onderzoek doen naar de Bosnische piramides.
“Diverse teams hebben onder meer een energiestraal boven de Bosnische Zonnepiramide ontdekt met een frequentie van 28 kHz,” zei hij.
Herziening
Uit onderzoek is volgens hem gebleken dat de straal gericht is op de zon.
De definitie van de kosmos is in zijn ogen aan herziening toe. “We leven in een elektrisch universum waarin alles is gebaseerd op geladen deeltjes,” zei Osmanagich, die niet gelooft in de oerknaltheorie.
“De kosmos is onbeperkt en onderdeel van een eindeloos aantal andere universa,” besloot hij. “We zijn allemaal onderdeel van het kosmische internet.”
Russian soldiers zapped by aliens after shooting down UFO, declassified CIA report claims
Russian soldiers zapped by aliens after shooting down UFO, declassified CIA report claims
RUSSIAN military shot down a UFO before they were attacked and killed by the surviving aliens, it is sensationally claimed in a declassified CIA report.
The shocking report, which includes claims that 23 soldiers were turned into stone by the aliens in the UFO after they transformed into a ball of light, was buried among thousands of declassified files published online by the US intelligence agency.
The report in question, created on March 27 1993, is a translation by the CIA of a report from the Ukrainian newspaper Ternopil vechirniy.
The newspaper report said that after Mikhail Gorbachev lost power in 1991, many KGB files made their way to the CIA, including an alleged 250-page dossier on the bizarre UFO attack, which included pictures and witness testimonies.
The report suggested that a low flying flying saucer had appeared over a military unit in training in Siberia, before one of the soldiers fired a surface to air missile, bringing it down.
GETTY
The UFO was said to have been shot down by Russian soldiers.
CIA
The now declassified CIA report with the extraordinary claims.
It said: "Five short humanoids with large heads and large black eyes got out.”
Two soldiers are said to have survived, who described how, after emerging from the debris, the five beings merged into a brilliant white spherical ball of light that buzzed and hissed.
It then exploded, and as it did 23 soldiers who stood watching were turned into stone, the report claimed.
The two survivors had been in a shaded area, it said.
Five short humanoids with large heads and large black eyes got out.
CIA report
The report said: "The KGB report goes on to say that the remains of the 'petrified soldiers' were transferred to a secret research institution near Moscow.
"Specialists assume that a source of energy still unknown to Earthlings instantly changed the structure of the soldiers living organisms, having transformed it into a substance whose molecular structure was no different to limestone.
"A CIA representative stated: 'if the KGB file corresponds to reality, this is an extremely menacing case.
"The aliens possess such weapons and technology that go beyond all our assumptions'."
It is not explained in the document why the CIA held a translation of the Ukrainian newspaper report on file.
However, the translated newspaper report contained in the declassified CIA file said the source of the information had come from the Canadian Weekly World News, which was known at the time for publishing outlandish and fictional news headlines.
According to UFO website anf YouTube channel Lionsground, "you have to be careful about what the CIA publishes online, as it could be misinformation."

CIA-document: Russische soldaten ‘veranderd in steen’ nadat ze vliegende schotel neerschoten
CIA-document: Russische soldaten ‘veranderd in steen’ nadat ze vliegende schotel neerschoten
In een vrijgegeven CIA-document valt te lezen dat Russische soldaten die een UFO neerschoten ‘in steen werden veranderd door aliens’.
In het geopenbaarde document wordt gesteld dat 23 soldaten werden gedood door vijf aliens die in een vliegende schotel zaten die in 1993 boven Siberië uit de lucht werd geschoten.
Het stuk, dat op de officiële website van de CIA kan worden gevonden, is een vertaling van een artikel uit een Oekraïense krant.
Oefening
Volgens de krant beschikte de KGB over een 250 pagina’s tellend dossier over de aanval, dat onder meer afbeeldingen en getuigenverklaringen bevat, onthult de Daily Express.
De vliegende schotel zou zijn verschenen op het moment dat een militaire eenheid in Siberië was voor een oefening.
Eén van de soldaten zou het object met een luchtdoelraket hebben neergehaald. “Vijf kleine humanoïden met grote hoofden en grote zwarte ogen stapten uit,” schreef de krant.
Lichtbol
Naar verluidt overleefden slechts twee soldaten het incident.
De vijf wezens kwamen volgens de krant uit het gecrashte toestel en vuurden een lichtbol af waarna 23 soldaten ‘in steen’ veranderden.
Het rapport van de KGB vermeldt dat de resten van de soldaten werden overgebracht naar een geheim onderzoeksinstituut nabij Moskou.
Onbekende energiebron
“Experts nemen aan dat de structuur van het lichaam van de soldaten werd veranderd door een energiebron die voor ons nog onbekend is,” klinkt het.
De CIA merkte in een voetnoot op: “Als het rapport van de KGB strookt met de werkelijkheid, is dit een extreem bedreigend voorval.”
In het document wordt niet uitgelegd waarom de CIA een vertaling van een Oekraïens krantenartikel bewaarde.
WAT ALS JE VOOR EEN DEEL BUITENAARDS BENT? ( VIDEO )
WAT ALS JE VOOR EEN DEEL BUITENAARDS BENT? ( VIDEO )
Er zijn mensen die zich hier op aarde niet thuis voelen en die ergens diep van binnen weten dat ze geen “normale” mensen zijn.
Zo iemand is de Canadese Lisa die niet alleen dat gevoel heeft, maar er ook van overtuigd is dat ze een mengsel is tussen mens deel, en buitenaards, een zogenaamde menselijke hybride.
Vaak worden met hybrides kinderen bedoeld van mensen die ontvoerd zijn geweest door buitenaardsen en door deze zijn bevrucht, waardoor er een menselijke hybride ontstaat.
De menselijke eigenschappen voeren vaak de boventoon en de buitenaardse zijn meer “slapend” aanwezig. De hybriden zelf voelen meestal zelf haarfijn dat ze anders zijn en dat ze eigenlijk niet thuis horen op deze aarde.
Vaak kun je het aan de ogen zien en wanneer deze hybriden je aankijken heb je het gevoel alsof ze in het diepst van je ziel kunnen kijken. Vaak hebben de hybriden uittredingen, waarbij ze de ruimte in gaan en contact hebben met hun buitenaardse oorsprong.
Hybriden hebben ook een ongekende intuïtie en zijn dikwijls in staat om telepathisch te communiceren vanwege hun buitenaardse eigenschappen en kunnen dan ook gedachten lezen van mensen zonder dat er een woord tegen wordt gesproken.
Lisa vertoont al deze eigenschappen en voor haar is het eigenlijk vanzelfsprekend dat ze voor een deel buitenaards is.
Lisa heeft er voor het eerst in toegestemd om voor een camera te komen om te spreken over haar ervaringen. Dit interview staat hieronder en aangezien ze alleen Frans spreekt, worden haar woorden vertaald door de UFO onderzoeker Luigi Vendittelli die afkomstig is uit Montreal in Canada.
Het verhaal begint al voor de geboorte van Lisa toen haar moeder ’s middags even ging liggen omdat ze moe was toen ze acht maanden zwanger was.
Nauwelijks was ze op bed gaan liggen, of ze was volledig verlamd en kon helemaal niets meer. Door de muur van de kamer zag ze een soort object de kamer in komen vliegen en even later zag ze twee kleine grijze zogenaamde Gray Aliens aan haar bed staan.
Ze wist wat ze zeiden ook al spraken ze niet woordelijk. Ze hadden een discussie of zij (de moeder van Lisa) nu wel of niet klaar was. De moeder smeekte hen om niets met haar te doen en weg te gaan, wat ze uiteindelijk ook deden.
De moeder had tijdens haar zwangerschap de normale onderzoeken gehad en men wist dus dat ze één kind zou baren, hetgeen dan ook prompt een maand later gebeurde toen ze een jongen kreeg.
De dokter had de kraamkamer alweer verlaten toen hij met spoed werd teruggeroepen omdat er nog een baby was. Tot op de dag van vandaag is dit volgens de artsen onmogelijk omdat bij eerdere scans duidelijk was gebleken dat er maar één baby was.
En zo werd Lisa geboren.
Lisa heeft heel duidelijk het gevoel dat ze hier op aarde is voor een bepaalde reden. Dat er iets is dat ze moet gaan doen. Dat er dingen moeten veranderen en dat dit geen gemakkelijk proces gaat worden.
Een variatie van het verhaal van Lisa is dat van Bridget. Over deze vrouw schreven wij vorig jaar een artikel en ook zij is moeder van hybride kinderen, met dit verschil dat haar kinderen niet op aarde wonen, maar bij buitenaardsen.
Degene die daar antwoorden op heeft, is Bridget Nielsen. Zij zegt dat buitenaardsen in het verleden uiteraard hetzelfde soort fouten hebben gemaakt als de mensen nu doen en daardoor in allerlei problemen terecht zijn gekomen.
Problemen waardoor ze moeite hebben met onder andere voortplanting en daarom naar de aarde zijn gekomen om materiaal af te nemen van een ras dat dit nog wel kan, de mens.
De buitenaardsen waar Bridget dan over spreekt zijn de Gray Aliens, afkomstig van het sterrenbeeld Zeta Reticuli.
Ook zijzelf is vanaf de leeftijd van drie jaar meegenomen naar de buitenaardse schepen en zegt dat ze het altijd een spannend avontuur vond. Het schijnt dat de Grays gebruikmaken van mensen uit bepaalde families. Hierdoor kan het bijvoorbeeld voorkomen dat oma is meegenomen, haar kind en vervolgens haar kleinkind. Dit zou als reden hebben dat bepaalde families genetisch gezien heel geschikt zijn voor wat de Grays willen.
Wat Bridget zegt, is dat de ontvoerden tegenwoordig veel beter worden behandeld door de Grays dan vroeger. Waar het op neerkomt, is dat het voor beide partijen een soort leerproces is, waar uiteindelijk iedereen beter van wordt.
Dan word het fascinerend want klaarblijkelijk nemen de Grays eicellen van vrouwen waarmee ze dan kinderen gaan "bouwen".
Bridget is dan ook moeder van diverse door de Grays gemaakte kinderen die ze dan in haar dromen of tijdens trips naar de ruimteschepen ontmoet.
Op de volgende foto zie je Bridget met de tekeningen van enkele van haar kinderen.
Er zijn inmiddels zo’n vijf verschillende hybriderassen gemaakt, maar de bedoeling van deze buitenaardse kinderen is dat ze naar de aarde zullen komen om zicht te vermengen met normale aardse kinderen waardoor dan het zesde hybrideras zal ontstaan.
Tot die tijd verblijven de kinderen die “freelancers” worden genoemd op de grote buitenaardse schepen in de buurt.
Volgens Bridget waren de beroemde Phoenix Lights een voorbeeld van het passeren van één van die grote schepen.
Dit alles en nog veel meer vertelt Bridget in het navolgende interview. Wie meer wil weten over de hybride kinderen verwijzen wij naar de website van Bridget, de Hybrid Children Community.
INDIASE BOEING 777 VERLIEST CONTACT MET VERKEERSLEIDING DOO UFO ( VIDEO )
INDIASE BOEING 777 VERLIEST CONTACT MET VERKEERSLEIDING DOO UFO ( VIDEO )
Enkele dagen geleden is een Boeing 777 met meer dan 300 passagiers onderweg van India naar Engeland als boven Duitsland alle contact met de verkeersleiding wegvalt.
Er worden onmiddellijk een aantal jets de lucht ingestuurd om poolshoogte te nemen en gelukkig werd enige tijd later de communicatie hersteld en is alles goed afgelopen, maar…
Voor passagiers in een groot verkeerstoestel ergens hoog boven de wolken is het niet bepaald een geruststellende gedachte dat alle communicatie van de bemanning met de verkeersleiding wegvalt.
En dat is precies wat er enkele dagen geleden gebeurde boven Duitsland met het volgende toestel van JET Airways uit India.
Het vliegtuig was onderweg van Mumbai naar Londen Heathrow toen er boven Duitsland gedurende een periode van 33 minuten alle communicatie met de verkeersleiding plotsklaps wegviel.
De normale procedure in een dergelijk geval is dat er onmiddellijk enkele militaire jets op af worden gestuurd om de zaak te onderzoeken. Dit gebeurde ook nu en enkele Duitse Typhoon jets vertrokken richting Boeing.
Wat er daarna gebeurde, werd gefilmd vanuit een ander passagierstoestel wat iets achter en wat hoger vloog dan de Indiase Boeing. Naar verluidt betreft het hier een toestel van British Airways.
Op een gegeven moment zie je aan de linkerkant van het Indiase toestel de eerste Duitse Typhoon verschijnen, maar na ongeveer 1 minuut en 33 seconden in de video zie je ook iets bewegen in een wolk links van de toestellen.
En wat je verder wel of niet gelooft, er vliegt iets in die wolk wat alleen omschreven kan worden als een UFO. Het is een onbekend en niet geïdentificeerd object.
De maatschappij JET Airways gaf de volgende verklaring:
Het contact was verloren voor iets meer dan een paar minuten en zoals gebruikelijk krijgt de bemanning de schuld. Er wordt gesuggereerd dat ze een verkeerde frequentie geselecteerd zouden hebben.
Wat echter een bekend verschijnsel is wanneer er UFO’s in de buurt zijn, is dat er elektrische storingen optreden. In dit geval wordt duidelijk een UFO in de buurt van het toestel waargenomen op het moment dat het radiocontact is verbroken.
Waarschijnlijk is de UFO er vandoor gegaan toen de jets naderden en hebben deze dan ook geen last gehad van communicatieproblemen, maar wat is de kans op een communicatiestoring van een modern verkeersvliegtuig op het moment dat er een UFO bij het toestel vliegt zonder deze twee zaken met elkaar gerelateerd zouden zijn?
Ongetwijfeld zal later onderzoek uitwijzen dat óf de bemanning een fout gemaakt heeft óf dat er sprake was van een onbekende technische storing, maar onderstaande beelden zullen (helaas) echt niet gebruikt gaan worden als mogelijke oorzaak. Ja, intern zeker, maar het publiek zal een ander verhaal op de mouw worden gespeld zoals gebruikelijk.
Navolgend eerst een korte video, waarin de UFO is omcirkeld zodat deze duidelijk zichtbaar is en daarna een iets uitgebreidere versie zoals die gemaakt is door de bemanning van het British Airways toestel.

Glowing Disk Seen Over Cloud Observing People Below, Singapore, Feb 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: February 2017 Location of sighting:Singapore A UFO hid above the clouds in Singapore yesterday. You can see its disk lit up easily and a rainbow reflection coming from it. If the person had a infrared camera, 100% detail would be visible and infrared cameras are capable of cutting out the reflecting light and only seeing the UFO and cloud under it. IR is the one sure way to view these kinds of UFOs...cloud hiding UFOs I mean. Scott C. Waring BBC News States:
A rare cloud phenomenon over Singapore has delighted people in the city-state. The multi-coloured glow appeared in the sky on Monday in the late afternoon, lasting for about 15 minutes, and was seen across the island. Media reports said it was likely a fire rainbow, which occurs when sunlight refracts through ice-crystal clouds. Others have also said it could have been cloud iridescence, which happens when water droplets or crystals scatter light. "It started as a small orange circle and then grew bigger and bigger till all the colours came out... It lasted for about 15 minutes and it slowly went off. She said "all the children in the school, some parents, and other staff were very excited and commenting that it was very, very rare to see such a beautiful and unique rainbow". The phenomenon prompted jokes online, with many comparing it to a Paddle Pop, a rainbow-coloured frozen dessert popular in Australia and Asia. "The rainbow bridge is broken," joked one Facebook user, while another person asked: "Is this a case of Monday Rainbows?!"

Same UFO From 1996 Shows Up At Space Station Yesterday! NASA Live Camera, Feb 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting:Feb 23, 2017
Location of sighting: Space Station
Check out this tiny UFOs shooting around the space station this week. One of them is of extreme interest, because we have seen in before in the infrared footage from the NASA tether incident (Feb 1996 STS-75 raw footage). Its a living creature guys. It the old 1996 footage it grows and shrinks like its a jellyfish when it swims. Remarkable catch by Streetcap1 of Youtube.

Streetcap1 states:
Now don't let another channel steal this and call it ufos. Remember Streetcap1 did not call these ufos. When another poster puts their spin on my post, I get the heat and it's really not that fair. You know what, I'm just posting interesting and cool stuff that I find because I enjoy doing that. SC1.
Alien Entrance At Top Of Hill In Las Vegas, Nevada Is Fenced Off Area! No Way In, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Alien Entrance At Top Of Hill In Las Vegas, Nevada Is Fenced Off Area! No Way In, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of video: Feb 2017 Location of video: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA This is the location of the UFOs appearing from the hill top. The hill is completely surrounded by a fence and getting in looks difficult, but not impossible. Stevens on his way to finding a way to the top, which is an entrance to an underground base area. If he focuses his thoughts downward in a open and relaxed way, he may establish mental contact with the aliens and they may come up or take him down for a meet and greet session. (Check out Steven Barones Videos On Youtube.) If any readers out there live in Las Vegas and find a way up there, post the video of it on Youtube and send the URL to me at @SCWbooks on Twitter. I would love to post it here. Scott C. Waring Steven Barone states:
I shot this video from my backyard in the Summerlin area of Las Vegas, Nevada on the night of February 21, 2017, and during the day of February 8, 2017. I had to put this video out. Too many people believe that the lights on this hill are off-road vehicles. There is no way that is possible. The land on this small mountain is under BLM control. It is also very close to National Conservation land. Riding any motorized vehicles is strictly forbidden and carries a huge fine if caught. A local friend climbed it twice looking for evidence of motorized vehicles and found only his own footprints. Whatever these are they are extremely strange. I have videos of the same objects lining up in the air (as many as 12 or 13 of them) in a perfectly horizontal row which would be impossible if they were on the ground. I have checked and double checked and no clubs, businesses or anybody else has been riding up there. The only legal place to drive off-road vehicles is about 30 miles from here out at the Nellis Dunes. My wife, me and our dog attempted to climb it a couple weeks ago so I could prove the soil up there was undisturbed but we couldn't find any way to get up there. I believe that the lights are very similar to the "Marfa Lights" in Texas.
