Why a NASA spacecraft could bounce, crunch or sink on icy Europa
Why a NASA spacecraft could bounce, crunch or sink on icy Europa
Landing on Jupiter's moon in search of alien life won't be easy.
Sometime in the early 2030s, NASA hopes to attempt a landing on Jupiter’s moon Europa. A four-legged spacecraft would descend towards the icy surface, ready to hunt for signs of alien life in a buried ocean.
But Europa could be a treacherous place to land. Its surface may be unexpectedly hard — or so porous that the probe might sink into it. And giant crevasses threaten to swallow any visitor. With an extremely thin atmosphere, low gravity, and bone-chilling temperatures of just 100 kelvin (–176 °C), Europa poses formidable challenges to spacecraft engineers.
“We really just don’t know enough,” says Cynthia Phillips, a planetary scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California. She and others are discussing ideas for a Europa lander this week at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in The Woodlands, Texas.
Prompted by the US Congress's enthusiasm for visiting icy worlds, NASA is working on a pair of spacecraft concepts for exploring Europa, to launch in the 2020s. The first, an ongoing project named Clipper, would fly to the Jupiter system and loop past Europa multiple times, photographing it and creating a new high-resolution map of the world. The second spacecraft — not yet formally approved, and left out of President Donald Trump's recent budget proposal for NASA — would follow perhaps several years later and land on the moon.
Safe landing
One challenge is finding a suitable landing site. Europa’s surface is riven by crevasses, possibly with geyser-like plumes of water occasionally spurting up through the cracks. One of the top candidates for a landing site is an area called Thera Macula, where iceberg-like blocks jostle against one another in what is evocatively known as “chaos terrain”.
Arriving there could be like trying to touch down on a glacier in Greenland spawning ice chunks, says Catherine Walker, a planetary scientist at JPL. “I don’t know if you really want to land on that,” she says.
NASA/JPL/University of Arizona
The Thera Macula region is one site where NASA could one day send a Europa lander.
But scientists want to get as close as possible to areas where water could be squirting up from beneath Europa’s icy shell — possibly carrying extraterrestrial microbes. Chaos terrains like Thera Macula may lie above shallow liquid water1, making them the best chance of finding direct connections between the buried ocean and the surface. “If we’re right about those areas, maybe things weren’t alive recently but the record of organisms could be more intact,” says Britney Schmidt, a planetary scientist at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta.
If there are at least 100 cells of extraterrestrial organisms in every millilitre of Europan ice, the lander’s instruments could detect them, according to a NASA report released last month. That’s comparable to the number of microbes in the ice overlying Antarctica’s buried Lake Vostok.
“For the first time in the history of humanity, we have the tools and capability to go and do this great experiment of seeing whether or not biology works beyond Earth,” says Kevin Hand, an astrobiologist at JPL. He co-chaired the new report, which is being discussed this week at the Texas meeting.
But so little is known about the surface properties of Europa that planning a lander is like planning the first Moon landings, Phillips says.
Cold effect
Temperatures are so cold that ice grains on Europa behave very differently from on Earth. Phillips and her colleagues, led by Jamie Molaro at JPL, have been studying how Europan ice grains might 'sinter' or merge together, becoming more dense. Theoretical modelling and lab experiments, intended to grow tiny chunks of Europa-like ice, show how the ice grains begin to stick together over time. That process will affect how the lander's footpads interact with the surface, Phillips says.
The lander has to survive intact enough to burrow 10 centimetres into the ice, collecting five samples in 20 days and then analyzing them for signs of life. Current mission designs call for a four-legged lander with a flat belly, able to land on rough ice with unknown properties. It would be the first touchdown in the outer Solar System since 2005, when the European Space Agency’s Huygens probe parachuted onto Saturn’s moon Titan.
“When Huygens was built, we had no idea if Titan had a liquid or a solid surface,” Phillips notes. “That was a crazy engineering challenge.”
Europa engineers are facing much the same thing today.
Two more bizarre triangle UFOs have been reported to MUFON.
The Finding UFO YouTube channel has released two separate videos showing triangle shaped objects filmed by stunned onlookers.
It comes after Express.co.uk exclusively revealed in December there had been a rise in reports of the mysterious UFOs to the US-based Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), which keeps a global database of alleged UFO and alien sightings.
MUFON receives hundreds of similar reports each year, with numbers seemingly on the rise.
The reports are often eerily similar, leading to speculation the bizarre UFOs could be REAL.
Many reports tell of a triangle shape, defined by a series of lights, which are said to be in some cases as big as a football field, moving slowly and silently across the sky.
Some believe they are alien craft, while others think they are top secret test craft created by the US Government at mysterious air bases like Area 51 in the Nevada desert.
In the first new video released by Finding UFO, said to have been filmed over National City, near San Diego in California, three orange blinking lights appear to hover in a static position in the night sky.
The case was reported to the US-based Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), which keeps a global database of alleged UFO and alien sightings.
Finding UFO said: "This UFO video of a triangular-shaped formation was taken over National City in California on 23rd January 2017."
The unnamed witness said in a report to MUFON: "These three fire-like lights were just hovering inside a big rain cloud.
"You see halfway through that the one on the left starts to fade away or go into the horizon.
"My batteries were low on my cell phone but after this video a fourth light appeared to the right of the street lamp and the one that had disappeared re-appeared."
The second video released by Finding UFO, was filmed nearby in San Diego.
It was described as a silent triangular UFO in a separate report to MUFON.
The witness, who has not been named, said in their report: "It slowly moved in our direction west to east from above La Jolla Shores.
"As I filmed it it began to hover over us. Its lights were solid and did not blink, except from one light that was red that would blink unlike other aeronautical blinking lights I have seen.
"There were two rectangular light illuminations on the side of the triangle that were located at the tip of a corner appearing to be a sort of cockpit.

There were two rectangular light illuminations on the side of the triangle that were located at the tip of a corner appearing to be a sort of cockpit.
Report to MUFON
"It did not leave any trails, or make any sounds when it travelled by.
"I knew that this was a UFO and was certain because it resembled nothing I have seen before.
"It eventually flew over our apartment building out of sight. This craft did not make any sounds as it passed by."
The most infamous mass triangle UFO sighting was the Phoenix Lights incident of March 13, 1997, over Arizona, which had its twentieth anniversary this week.
Five lights were seen in a formation by thousands of people over three hours from 7.30pm to 10.30pm.
The sightings took place across a 300-mile area from Phoenix to Tucson.
It was blamed by officials as military flares at the time.
Another mysterious case was the Belgian UFO wave from November 1989.
Thirty different groups of witnesses, and three groups of police officers, reported seeing on November 29 a large object flying at low altitude.
The craft was described as "flat, of triangular shape, with lights underneath", and being silent as it slowly moved across Belgium towards the Netherlands and Germany.
Scott Brando runs website ufoofinterest.org which exposes hoax UFO sightings.
He is sceptical any unexplainable sightings have been made.
The expert says the Phoenix Lights Incident was explained as aircraft and military flares.
He told Express.co.uk: “The Phoenix lights were explained with two different events. The first was the flight of five planes in V-shape formation.
"The second event was the launch of military flares over Estrella mountains."
He said of the Belgian UFO Wave: "The Belgian UFO wave began as a normal sighting (some lights in the sky) and then spread virally, but it took more time because at that time the media coverage had no internet like now."
Referring to triangle UFOs generally, he added: “About other similar sightings I'd like to see some reports by MUFON, however many formation of sky lanterns or the launch of skydivers Golden Knights were often mistaken for UFOs.”

NASA's Cassini gets up close and personal with Saturn's 'UFO-shaped' Pan moon
NASA's Cassini gets up close and personal with Saturn's 'UFO-shaped' Pan moon
Pan is Saturn's second-innermost moon, present in the Encke Gap region of Saturn's A-ring. It possesses an average diameter of 17 miles (28 kilometers).
These two images from NASA's Cassini spacecraft show how the spacecraft's perspective changed during its closest pass by Saturn's Pan moon at a distance of 15,300 miles (24,600 kilometers) on March 7, 2017.
NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute
NASA's Cassini spacecraft captured detailed images of Saturn's moon, Pan. The photos of the gas giant's moon were taken from a distance of 15,300 miles (24,600 kilometers) earlier this month, on March 7, 2017.
Pan is Saturn's second-innermost moon, present in the Encke Gap region of Saturn's A-ring. It has an average diameter of 17 miles (28 kilometers).
In both images of this unique-looking moon, the side facing away from Saturn -- the trailing side --can be seen.
These stereo views, or anaglyphs, highlight the unusual, quirky shape of Saturn's moon Pan. They appear three-dimensional when viewed through red-blue glasses with the red lens on the left.
NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute
These photographs were taken by Cassini's narrow-angle camera; the image on the left was taken from a distance of around 16,000 miles (25,000 kilometers) and the image on the right was taken from approximately 21,000 miles (34,000 kilometers) away.
The astronomers who imaged the photographs believe that Pan was formed within the rings of the gas giant and comprises matter from the ring, responsible for the shape of its central mass.
The UFO-shaped moon is thin around its equator; the edges are believed to have formed after the central bulge, and after it cleared the gap in Saturn's rings.
"On a larger, more massive body, this ridge would not be so tall [relative to the body], because gravity would cause it to flatten out," a NASA statement revealed.
"But Pan's gravity is so feeble that the ring material simply settles onto Pan and builds up. Other dynamic forces keep the ridge from growing indefinitely," the NASA officials added.
Het aantal waarnemingen van cilinder- of sigaarvormige UFO’s begint de laatste jaren aanzienlijk toe te nemen.
Ook nu zijn er weer prachtige opnames gemaakt door een man die zit te wachten tot de barbecue klaar is en besluit om de dreigende onweersbui te filmen.
Deze waarneming is aangemeld bij MUFON en het heeft alle kenmerken van een authentieke gebeurtenis.
Het voorval speelde zich af op 16 augustus 2016, zo ongeveer aan de grens tussen Canada en Amerika aan de noordoostkust bij de Baai van Fundy.
De Fundybaai of de Baai van Fundy is een baai tussen de Canadese provincies New Brunswick en Nova Scotia, ook grenzend aan een stukje van de Amerikaanse staat Maine, aan de Atlantische kust van Noord-Amerika. De Fundybaai staat bekend als de plaats met het grootste getijdenverschil ter wereld, met 16 meter verschil tussen hoog- en laagwater.
De getuige die het voorval vastlegde was op bezoek bij een vriend voor een barbecue en vertelt het volgende verhaal:
Ik was naar een behoorlijk intensieve onweersbui aan het kijken die de monding van de Funsybaai binnen rolde.
We zaten te wachten tot onze barbecue klaar zou zijn en ondertussen begon ik met het filmen van de onweersbui in de hoop dat ik misschien wat mooie bliksemflitsen kon vastleggen.
De bui was nog zo’n 20 minuten van ons verwijderd, maar de bliksemflitsen gingen iedere keer recht naar het water en ik ben toen nog een paar minuten doorgegaan met filmen.
Daarna legde ik mijn camera aan de kant en ging eten en dacht er niet verder over na, totdat ik enkele dagen later nog eens de video bekeek.
Ik bekeek de filmopname en zag eerst niets. Ik ging naar het einde en pauzeerde op het moment van één van de bliksemflitsen. Ik nam een screenshot voor Facebook en scrolde achterstevoren heel langzaam door de opnames heen en ging van bliksemflits tot bliksemflits en nam daar screenshots van.
Toen ik zo bij de eerste seconden van de video kwam waar zich een dubbele bliksemflits voordeed, was het bingo, ik zag een schijf-achtig object ter grootte van een oplegger uit de baai door de lucht en de bliksemflitsen vliegen in een hoek en met een onvoorstelbare snelheid met een grote “bang” en het echo geluid van een windtunnel in de wolken verdwijnen.
Met het geduld en vastberadenheid van een hersenchirurg ben ik erin geslaagd om binnen die seconde sreenshots te maken. Ik heb beelden die je niet zult geloven en foto’s.
De afgelopen maanden ben ik bezig geweest om hulp te krijgen, maar dat is mij nergens gelukt. Ik smeek jullie dan ook om mij serieus te nemen en belangstelling te tonen, want dit is echt.
Hier volgen een aantal screenshots die de man maakte en enkele uitvergrotingen.
En weer is er ook sprake van bliksem en onweer zoals zo dikwijls. Hier schijnt echter wel sprake te zijn geweest van een echte onweersbui als je het verslag van de getuige leest.
En weer ook de bekende sigaarvorm, een schip dat ook schijnt voor te komen bij de Duitsers op Antarctica, zoals wij schreven in een eerder artikel:
De Duiters hadden een project in de jaren '43-'45 van de vorige eeuw onder de naam Andromedagerät. De Andromeda was een groot sigaarvormig ruimteschip, met binnenin ruimtes waar zich kleinere vliegende schotels bevonden.
Of dit ruimteschip ooit daadwerkelijk heeft gevlogen is niet zeker, alhoewel er wel enkele foto's zijn waarop dit schip vliegend is afgebeeld, zoals de volgende.
We zijn inmiddels ongeveer 65 jaar verder sinds het Andromeda ruimteschip is ontworpen. Als de Nazi's ten tijde van de mislukte expeditie van admiraal Byrd al de beschikking hadden over vliegende schotels die geluidloos uit de zee opstegen, en ook toen al beschikten over in ieder geval het ontwerp van de Andromeda dan is het niet onlogisch om aan te nemen dat nu, zoveel jaren later, zij in staat zouden zijn om kunstmatige wolken te creëren met daarin verborgen een moderne versie van de Andromeda.
Volgens Scott Waring zijn het buitenaardse schepen en gebruiken ze de onweerswolken en bliksemschichten om daar energie te tanken. Hij zegt zelfs dat de UFO de bliksemflitsen veroorzaakt, zodat het op die manier energie kan tanken.
UFO'S VLIEGEN VOORBIJ TIJDENS INTERVIEW MET ISS ASTRONAUTE ( VIDEO )
UFO'S VLIEGEN VOORBIJ TIJDENS INTERVIEW MET ISS ASTRONAUTE ( VIDEO )
In de loop der jaren zijn er al heel wat bizarre dingen de revue gepasseerd rondom het International Space Station, ISS.
Het komt echter niet vaak voor dat er beelden zijn van een interview met een astronaut in het ISS, terwijl erachter,zichtbaar door het raam, UFO’s vrolijk ronddartelen.
Legendarisch zijn ondertussen de verhalen over wanneer NASA weer eens merkt dat er een UFO in beeld komt, de verbinding plotseling wordt verbroken wegens technische problemen en kijkers naar een blauw scherm zitten te staren.
Soms worden er ook in het ISS zelf opnamen gemaakt en dan meestal van de astronauten die daar op dat moment aanwezig zijn.
Samantha Cristoforetti (Milaan, 26 april 1977) is een Italiaans ruimtevaarder van de ESA. Cristoforetti haar eerste ruimtevlucht was Sojoez TMA-15M en vond plaats op 23 november 2014. Hiermee werd ze de eerste Italiaanse vrouw in de ruimte.
In totaal heeft Cristoforetti één ruimtevlucht op haar naam staan, deze bracht haar naar het Internationaal ruimtestation ISS. Deze missie duurde onverwacht een maand langer dan gepland; hierdoor werd Christoforetti de vrouw die het langst in de ruimte verbleef tijdens een enkele vlucht. Met 199 dagen overtrof ze het oude record van Sunita Williams.
Tijdens één van de opnames die is gemaakt van Christoforetti in het ISS laat ze zien hoe het werkt wanneer je naar buiten wilt kijken en hoe je dan een soort luik voor het raam kunt weghalen.
Op de volgende afbeelding is ze bezig met de uitleg en zie je achter haar het raam.
Terwijl Samantha druk bezig is met het vertellen van haar verhaal, vliegen er in de achtergrond enkele UFO’s langs die te zien zijn door het raam achter haar.
Op de volgende afbeelding zie je er één, rechts, vlak naast de zonnepanelen.
Er zijn in totaal twee UFO’s zichtbaar, de eerste vrij kort, maar de tweede langer en die zie je niet alleen met enorme snelheid vliegen, maar ook verschillende keren van koers veranderen.
Dit is uiteraard een duidelijk teken dat we hier te maken hebben met een intelligent bestuurd object.
Voor de bewegende beelden en een uitgebreide analyse volgt hier een video van Secure Team die deze bijzondere opname kreeg toegestuurd van een abonnee op zijn kanaal.
Het is niet de eerste keer dat Samantha in verband wordt gebracht met een UFO. Eind 2014 schreven wij een artikel over hoe deze astronaut een verschrikte kreet slaakte, waarvan later ook een UFO bleek de oorzaak te zijn.
Iets meer dan een week geleden brachten wij het verhaal van de Italiaanse astronaute Cristine Christoforetti die enorm schrok tijdens de aankoppeling bij het ISS ruimtestation.
Zo zei ze later: "De enorme zonnepanelen werden als het ware bedolven onder een krachtig oranje licht, helder, warm en bijna buitenaard".
Ze vertelde niet concreet dat ze een UFO had gezien, maar zoals wij schreven:
Er was “iets” dat haar verwelkomde en zorgde voor deze felle oranje gloed. “Iets” dat niets te maken had met het ruimtestation. Bijna dagelijks, maar zeker wekelijks, worden er UFO's waargenomen bij en rondom het ISS ruimtestation. Wat Samantha gezien heeft is vrijwel zeker de reflectie van één van deze UFO's die waarschijnlijk nieuwsgierig was of haar wilde verwelkomen aan boord van het ruimtestation.
Misschien heeft Samantha die UFO niet daadwerkelijk gezien, maar de vluchtleiding wel degelijk.
De ESA (European Space Agency) heeft een video gepubliceerd waarin de aankoppeling van de Soyuz raket aan het ruimtestation is te volgen.
Daarin zie je enkele minuten voordat Samantha haar verschrikte kreten slaakt, inderdaad een UFO in beeld komen.
Op de volgende afbeelding is deze te zien in het vierkant rechtsboven, als een vage ronde stip, niet ver van de centrale lijn die het beeld verticaal in tweeën deelt.
In de ESA video hieronder kun je die UFO door het beeld zien bewegen, van boven naar beneden rond de 1 minuut 20. Enkele minuten later, rond de 4 minuut 36, hoor je de verbaasde uitroep van Samantha.
De kans dat deze twee gebeurtenissen niet gerelateerd zijn, is natuurlijk minimaal. Er arriveert een UFO bij het ISS en kort daarna schrikt Samantha zich een hoedje.
Decades of entertainment and pop culture have invaded our eyes and ears with tales of little green men coming from destinations unknown and plaguing our skies and our homes. These little green critters often changed throughout the decades as stories spread and culture shifted. So when we hear the stories of close encounters with what we often consider aliens, it's no wonder that some of these more radical reports get brushed to the side. They just seem to be too damn strange. They don't fit the prototypical alien mythology we've been conditioned to believe (or not believe) is true. They bend the rules and they challenge the norm. So what are these outsiders amongst outsiders? Let's take a look at a few cases of possible monsters from above... or possibly below.
The Flatwoods Monster
It was September 12th, 1952. In the town of Flatwoods, West Virginia, three young boys were wrapping up an evening of football when they noticed something unusual in the night sky. As they watched above, a rather bright object seemed to be making a rapid descent towards a nearby farm. Scared and excited, the boys immediately rushed to the first home they could find. This was the home of one Kathleen May. May, fearing an aircraft crash of some sort, called the local police. But they didn't want to wait, fearing that someone may be hurt and need immediate attention. Soon, May, the children, and her dog, all headed out to the proposed site where the object had either landed or crashed.
As the group made their way towards the top of a nearby hill, the dog excitedly ran ahead, sensing something of interest. Moments later, the dog returned, looking completely scared and whimpering. It wouldn't be long before the group saw just exactly what the dog had encountered. About one hundred yards or so in the distance, a glowing object burned bright, a hissing sound emanating in all directions. A thick mist covered the area. As the group timidly moved forward, they noticed that the light was actually two circles, giving off the effect of headlights of some sort. As one of the boys cast his flashlight forward, it soon became clear that the object wasn't an object at all. It was alive.
As they all stood in terror, they looked on at a creature that was about ten feet tall and four feet wide. It appeared to be wearing some sort of metallic suit, green in color, pipes, and valves wrapping around it. A cowl, shaped like an ace of spades, covered its blood-red head. The eyes of the creature seemed to be portholes of some sort, a mixture of green and orange light piercing through them. Varying accounts also describe the creature as having small, stick-like arms, while others claim it had no appendages. Either way, as the group began to become more vocal, the creature seemed to take notice. It hissed furiously and began to ominously float towards them.
Petrified, the group ran back over the hill and fled the area. It was at this point that the local sheriff finally showed up. May began to explain what they'd seen, and soon a local news reporter, A. Lee Stewart of the Braxton Democrat, was on site, interviewing the witnesses. Meanwhile, the sheriff and several officers searched the area for the creature but could find nothing. Many other reports of flying objects had been reported in the area prior to this event, and even of the same creature. Civilian Saucer Investigation (CSI) had compiled many reports which included that of a mother and her daughter who claimed to have encountered the same metallic, hissing creature. The encounter had emotionally and mentally affected the daughter so severely that she remained in a hospital for weeks trying to recover from the entire ordeal. Another interesting report came from the mother of the farmer who the original event had stricken. She claimed that at around the same time of the incident, the radio in her home cut out completely and some sort of explosion seemed to occur, shaking the entire foundation of the home.
While reports continued to trickle in prior to and after this main event, it was clear that something from above had come down in Braxton County in the small town of Flatwoods, West Virginia. But just like many tales of this kind, the town embraces it with open arms and open pockets. It has become a destination for many monster hunters and folklore enthusiasts, small tourist attractions littered with images of the monster welcoming visitors from all over the world. So was this smelly, metallic, hissing creature something from outer space? Or was it all just a desperate ploy to bring attention to the town? Either way, the Flatwoods Monster remains a staple of both UFO and monster lore, blending the two in enigmatic intrigue.
The Hopkinsville Goblins
It was August 21st, 1955 when the Sutton family were settling down for a night with friends in their farmhouse, located on Old Madisonville Road, about eight miles north of Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Indoor plumbing was a luxury they just couldn't afford, and as the summer night progressed, it was usually warm. One of the friends, Billy Ray Taylor, went outside to fetch some water for the group. But as he made his way to the well, he noticed something unusual above him.
There, in the night sky, a multi-colored object hovered and seemed to be spitting flames in every direction. Suddenly, the object began to make a rapid descent into a gully about three-hundred yards away. Struck by the event, Taylor rushed inside to tell everyone what he'd seen. As he excitedly described the object, the Suttons, and even Taylor's wife, believed him to be making the entire story up. They brushed it off and went on with their night.
It was around 8 pm when the Sutton family dog began to bark at something at the window. Curious, the oldest son of the family, Elmer, noticed something glowing outside. As he peered out the window, he reeled back in surprise. There, behind the glass, was what appeared to be a small figure. It was about three feet tall with a large head and bat-like ears. It had large eyes, no nose, and a mouth that stretched from one side of its face to another. It was very thin, with long arms that included talon-like claws. A silver-colored suit covered its body. As the Suttons and friends began to react inside, the creature noticed that it had been spotted. It then began to float towards the house, a few feet off the ground. At this point, Elmer and Taylor grabbed a pair of rifles and headed outside.
Upon seeing the creature floating in mid-air, they panicked and both began to open fire. But the creature was unfazed. It turned and disappeared into the darkness. They returned inside to calm the rest of the group, explaining they'd at least scared the creature away. To assure them of this, they went outside again. But just as Taylor walked out, a claw grabbed him by the hair from the roof above. Elmer once again opened fire on the creature, hitting it directly. It fell from the roof and onto the ground below. Suddenly, a bright light illuminated from the nearby woods. Another creature soon appeared. And another. It was clear that the Sutton farm was being invaded my these goblin-like creatures.
A one-sided firefight ensued for the next few hours, as Taylor and Elmer continued firing at the creatures every time they tried to approach. And each time, they would retreat into the darkness of the woods. Around 11 pm, terrified and exhausted, the activity seemed to wind down, and soon, the creatures were nowhere to be found. The Taylors and Suttons hopped into their vehicles and immediately headed for the Hopkinsville police station.
After explaining in great detail what had just occurred, several officers accompanied the group back at the farm. After a long investigation lasting well into the early morning, they could find nothing and left the scene. Apparently, around 2:30 am, the Taylor and Sutton family were terrorized yet again by the creatures as they played their mind games yet again, appearing and disappearing into the dark. Gunfire ensued yet again until the sun rose and the families finally fell asleep, hoping this was all just a very vivid nightmare. But it wasn't.
The following morning, a report of the event was published in the Kentucky New Era newspaper, the police having seemingly released information to the media. As news spread, reporters from all over the country descended on the small farm. UFO enthusiasts camped out on the family's lawn, hoping for a return by these possibly extraterrestrial goblins. Completely disturbed by the media circus and the exposure, the Sutton family eventually sold the farm and moved into the nearby town of Kelly, hoping to blend in and forget about that terrifying night.

But the towns of Kelly and Hopkinsville never forgot. The story made it into many publications on UFOs and encounters with alien beings. And the town of Kelly even holds the annual Little Green Men Festival, highlighting the events that took place on the Sutton farm. And while the current owner of the land dissuades any from visiting, that doesn't stop a community who sees peaks in tourism every August when the event originally occurred.
The Dover Demon
It was in April of 1977 when the small town of Dover, Massachusetts suffered a string of strange sightings involving a small creature roaming the streets. First reported by a group of teenage boys, Bill Bartlett, 17, noticed a small figure huddled next to a stone wall as they passed by it in their vehicle. The figure soon came into sight from the car’s headlights, turning and staring straight at Bartlett. Its eyes were, according to Bartlett, “glowing brightly like orange marbles. It was about four feet tall and stood upright. It had a pale, gray tone to its hairless body. It had no nose or mouth. Its head was very large like a watermelon,” he would go on to describe. While the other friends in the car didn’t see anything, they all admitted that Bartlett was extremely distraught after telling them what he had seen. Bartlett would return home that night, visibly shaken, according to his father, and sketched the creature.
It was a few hours later that the second sighting of this creature took place. John Baxter, 15, was walking home from his girlfriend’s house. Thinking it was a friend of his, he approached, stunned when he finally saw the silhouette of something rather odd. This small creature stared at him, standing upright, with bright orange/red eyes. It had very long toes and fingers which clung tight to rocks on the ground.
The following night would include what most considered the final sighting of the Dover Demon. Abby Brabham was being driven home by a friend when she noticed a small creature on the side of the road. She would describe it quite similarly to that of Bartlett and Baxter, however, she stated that it was crawling on all fours. Her description of the eyes differed as well, proclaiming a bright green color.
Despite the variances in witness testimony, it seems that something truly strange was wandering the streets of Dover over the span of two nights. Could the fact that as the sightings grew, the creature was becoming more and more desperate to not be seen? Or perhaps, it was somehow ill or injured, starting on two legs, and slowly digressing in strength, having to eventually crawl. Though completely speculative, it seemed that this creature did not want to be seen. But in the eyes and memory of the three witnesses above, the small gray creature dubbed the Dover Demon has all but faded into cryptozoological obscurity, its bright orange (or green) eyes haunting the back roads of Dover up until today.
Conclusions
It is quite apparent that the stories above don't fit the typical close encounter narratives we are used to when dealing with UFO cases. In fact, these stories may have absolutely nothing to do with aliens. But the appearance of objects in the sky preceding some of the events does beg the question; if not alien, then what? And while these cases may go down in cryptid lore for decades to come, one thing is for certain. The Flatwoods Monster, The Hopkinsville Goblins, and the Dover Demon will continue to haunt the pages of many books, many films, and many tourist traps. But more importantly, they will continue to haunt our minds as we peer into the darkness time and time again, hoping we will never come face-to-face with any or all of these creatures from parts unknown.

Dr Horace Drew, 61, was just 10 years old when he allegedly saw an unidentified, silver, windowless craft hovering in the sky near his suburban home, in Jacksonville, Florida. The encounter lasted only moments but led to a lifelong fascination with the extraterrestrial.
“I saw a UFO, so I knew they were real from an early age,” Dr Drew told news.com.au.
The scientist, who holds a PhD in Chemistry from Caltech, the California Institute of Technology, and worked for CSIRO as a molecular biologist, has been researching crop circles and aliens for 20 years. Dr Drew relocated to Australia in the 1980s but most of his work has taken him overseas, predominantly to Europe.
“They’re quite rare in Australia,” he said.
He, along with many conspiracy theorists, believe crop circles are the work of aliens or human time travellers. Sceptics say most are probably man-made.
A crop circle is typically defined by standing wheat stems that have been flattened in the shape of a circle or more complex pattern. They tend to appear mainly in developed Western or secularised countries — including Japan.
The cause of many of the circles is unknown despite various natural and unorthodox explanations having been put forward. Some crop circles have been proven to be hoaxes.
But according to Dr Drew, a number are legitimate and contain puzzles that can be decoded and linked to time travel and alien life.
He told news.com.au he had visited about “two dozen crop circles” around the globe in his career. Typically, they were between 50-500m in length, he said.
“This has led to at least one major breakthrough the discovery of a more advanced binary code than our computers currently use.”
Dr Drew claimed that aliens or human time travellers have been leaving the crop circles on Earth as messages to “us or themselves”.
Sightseers visit an incorporated oversized crop circle in a cornfield, not far from the small community of Mammendorf near Munich, southern Germany, on August 3, 2016. The crop circle had a diameter of 180 metres.

WHY ARE THERE CROP CIRCLES?
Dr Drew said he was one of a handful of scientists around the world who had worked to successfully decode some of the messages in crop circles.
According to him, some crop circles provide general descriptions of the future.
“Other crop (circles) show schematic images of the future for astronomical or human events,” he said.
He said some of the decoded messages read: ‘Much pain but still time. Believe. There is good out there’; ‘Beware the bearers of false gifts and their broken promises’; ‘We oppose deception. Conduit closing’.
Dr Drew has developed at least two theories as to the purpose of the circles by reading their “advanced (version of) binary codes”.
“One theory is that they are trying to introduce themselves to us peacefully, like we do using bubbles with dolphins,” he said.
“When (humans) want to talk with dolphins we put little bubble circles under the ocean with a generator. We watch the dolphins come up and play and investigate, and we study them.
“This is called the ‘dolphin communication project’.”
He said the dynamic between the way humans interact with dolphins and whales was likely comparable to how extraterrestrials communicate with us.
“Barack or Trump have never said to a dolphin: ‘take me to your leader I want to sign a treaty with you’,” he said.
“And (the extraterrestrials are) not interested in making a treaty with us.
“They are ahead of us like we are ahead of the dolphins and the whales.”
His second theory was that the messages “are not even for us”.
Dr Drew said human time travellers from the distant future could be creating the circles as directional markers, to help them navigate “in their distant past, which is our present”.
“There are definitely humans living there in about 5000 years with time travel capability,” he said.
“They’re coming back and flying all over Earth.
“They seem to just say ‘this is a certain day’ and mark it.
“So the trouble is we don’t know space time physics enough to understand what’s happening. It’s beyond our knowledge.
“Maybe they don’t want us to know about it. It might be just for them.”
It’s a theory shared by many in his field of work.
A crop circle once appeared in field of wheat at Clay Hill, Warminster, Wiltshire. The site, made famous by UFO sightings in the 60s and 70s, had crop circle experts baffled over the 200 foot design.

HOW ARE THEY MADE?
Dr Drew said the circles appeared to be created by an “unknown energy that heats the crops up”.
“It’s like microwave energy but is something beyond earth’s science,” he said.
“It can pattern the wheat.
“No one sees or hears anything and that's why its so hard to prove. If there’s a craft, it’s silent, noiseless.”
But there’s nothing to fear, according to him.
“Don’t be afraid,” he said.
REAL OR A HOAX?
Telling the difference between a real crop circle and a hoax is like differentiating between an original painting and a fake, according to Dr Drew.
“There are some things to look for,” he said.
Crops that are bent “halfway up” their stems, rather than on the ground ,is one telltale sign “cereologists”, or someone that advocates paranormal explanations of crop circles, look for to determine that it’s not a hoax.
“You can’t absolutely prove a crop circle wasn’t a hoax but you can give a high probability and judgment,” he said.
“If there’s a hoax the word of it gets around very fast, people are aware, people are not that easily fooled.”
Scientist Dr Horace Drew said he took this photos in a “newly found crop” circle at Etchilhampton near Decizes, England in July, 2012. “About 25 per cent of fallen wheat stems inside the picture were bent by unknown energies,” he told a conference on Wednesday.

In 1991, English pranksters Doug Bower and Dave Chorley took credit for most of the crop circles across southern England made since 1978. They were inspired by the Tully “saucer nest” case in Australia, where a farmer found a flattened circle of swamp reeds after observing a UFO.
Using basic tools including a plank of wood, rope, and a baseball cap fitted with a loop of wire to help them walk in a straight line, they said they made complex crop circles in England — which others then copied all over the world into the 1980s.
They made a circle for journalists, which was later declared authentic by a cereologist. They then revealed their hoax to the world, spurring on even more copycats.

Dr Drew said there was a lot of scientific evidence to show that some crop circles were made by human time travellers or extraterrestrial beings. “Laboratory results on plant or soil samples taken from a crop circle in Brazil in October of 2016 show that it was formed by unknown sterilising images,” he said.
The earliest mention of a crop circle dates back to the 1500s. A woodcut from the time showed a “mowing devil” making the pattern.

GOVERNMENT SECRETS?
Earlier this month, US TV host Jimmy Kimmel asked former US President George Bush if he went through “secret files, the UFO documents” when he was in office.
But instead of laughing off the question, the former commander in chief replied: “Maybe.”
Mr Kimmel then asked him if there were “any great secrets you know that you can’t share with people?”
“Yeah, there are,” Mr Bush said. “But I’m not telling you.”
Many conspiracy theorists and some scientists, including Dr Drew, argued that Mr Bush’s comments indicated the US government knows much more about extraterrestrial life than it has publicly revealed.
“The politicians are scared they'll lose votes if they talk about it,” Dr Drew said.
He said international media had also played a part in causing the public to doubt the legitimacy of crop circles and aliens.
But according to him, its important for humans to keep seeking answers.
“The ET visitors have technologies which would benefit us greatly, for example, how to make safe, clean energy without burning oil, coal or gas,” Dr Drew said.
“Ultra-fast propulsion systems, based on gravity and inertia, could carry us safely to distant planets or stars.
“We may also need to upgrade our planetary defences soon, to protect against ET’s who may not be friendly.”
There’s still a lot more to be understood but Dr Drew’s hope is that he one day gets a closer look at what was inside the UFO he believes he saw as a child.
“I’d like to meet (the extraterrestrials or human time travellers) in person,” he said.
“But I don’t think they're going to do that.
“Whichever scientific team is doing this I don’t think we’re supposed to have full knowledge of it because it will interrupt their program, whatever they're doing.”
One little-discussed aspect of the hacked emails from the 2016 presidential campaign was the interest that John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, had in extraterrestrial life. As a self-described "curious skeptic," Podesta has openly called for greater government transparency on UFO-related matters. In his forward to UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record, a 2011 book by journalist Leslie Kean, he wrote, "The American people—and people around the world—want to know, and they can handle the truth."
After hackers working at the behest of the Russian government accessed Podesta's Gmail account and sharedhis emails with WikiLeaks, according to the US government, WikiLeaks, in turn, released more than 50,000 of them over the course of several weeks. Among the revelations were details about campaign strategy, Podesta's tips on preparing the perfect risotto, and a cache of his correspondence with entrepreneur, author, and rock star Tom DeLonge. DeLonge is best known as a founding member of the multiplatinum pop-punk band Blink-182 (with whom he had a falling out in 2015). He's busy with his other band,Angels and Airwaves, but it was the work of his Encinitas, California-based company, To the Stars, that he discussed in his correspondence.
DeLonge describes To the Stars as an "independent multi-media entertainment company" that explores "the profound, yet unresolved mysteries involving science and the universe," an interest he shares with Podesta. In one October 2015 emailfrom DeLonge, with the subject line, "Important things," the rock star offered to set up a meeting with "important" figures within the military industrial complex. He suggested Podesta might find them "very interesting" because they were in "principal leadership" roles on "our sensitive topic."
DeLonge explores the "sensitive topic" in his new book, Sekret Machines: GODS, co-written with Peter Levenda. It's the second in a series of works that has the lofty goal of changing the way humanity views its place in the universe. The book treats extraterrestrial life and its influence on human events as a given,and explores the roots of religion and mythology through that lens. DeLonge is also shooting a feature film on the subject and plans years worth of additional books and other multimedia related to it. Mother Jones caught up with DeLonge recently to discuss his book, To the Stars projects, and other "sensitive" topics.
Mother Jones: What was it like when you saw all your contacts with John Podesta spill out as part of WikiLeaks?
Tom DeLonge: It was a terrible thing that happened. I was not planning on that, obviously, nor was anybody else on this conversation. You're dealing with national security when you deal with this subject matter. It is the single most sensitive and dangerous topic, for a variety of reasons. So when a leak like that comes out, it's not a good thing.
MJ: A lot of people who never got a response were reaching out to Podesta. Why did he seem to take you seriously?
TD: For the same reason the other groups of people within the DOD and military and intelligence committee took me seriously: Because I knew my material. I went in there with a lot of humility and respect. WikiLeaks was an illegal hack, so I can tell you that there were many, many conversations, and that's all I'll say. But I'm not going to talk about who was on those and what we talked about.After the WikiLeaks issue and how busy he was with the presidential election, I didn't really bother him anymore.
MJ: Mirage Men was a book and documentary about the history of the US government seeding various stories on extraterrestrials and other unexplained phenomena in order to cover for entirely human military projects. Do you ever worry that you're being used to deliver untrue stories?
TD: I think they're using me, absolutely, because I can help. But I don't think they're using me for any kind of misinformation, absolutely not, and I'll tell you why. It took me a year to reach three groups of people in various stovepipes of the government…that were in charge of this subject matter, not only in terms of engineering, but in terms of intelligence and military. They all said the exact same thing, the exact same story, and that's what's so important about what I'm doing with the Sekret Machines franchise. The reality is if the president and Congress aren't going to have congressional hearings and have an open statement, then the next best thing is a $100 million movie with a $100 million in marketing, with an international release, and having that happen every couple of years with nonfiction books and documentaries. Then you kind of get an awareness going, a conversation going. That's what I'm doing.
MJ: The Sekret Machines franchise comprises three novels, three nonfiction books, a TV show, and a movie, right?
TD: Yeah. It will go on for a very long time—most likely it won't be restricted to only three novels or three nonfiction books. It will be multiple nonfiction books, multiple historical fiction novels, multiple major feature films, and multiple documentaries. That's the goal. It will take us many years to do all that, but it's something or multiple things happening every year in regards to that architecture. Think of it like the way they do Star Wars or Marvel films. It's an entertain-and-educate model. So you can watch a future film and go, "Wow, I never thought of it that way. I never thought that could be real. Seriously, what's the story behind this?" Then they go buy some nonfiction or watch a documentary.
"Everyone wants to pin it down to aliens and flying saucers from other planets. And that's not the truth. That's almost like taking someone's quote out of context."
MJ: The most recent release, Sekret Machines: Gods, came out March 7. What is the takeaway from that book?
TD: The entire series is setting up a foundation of how to understand the enormity of the subject matter. Everyone wants to pin it down to aliens and flying saucers from other planets. And that's not the truth. That's almost like taking someone's quote out of context. The idea of where consciousness and quantum physics collide is where you're going to find a lot of the unidentified aerial phenomena. It has to do with human consciousness, spirituality. It has to do with religion. So Gods, the first book, is setting up a foundation for people to understand that the human race is akin to what is known as a "cargo cult," [which] started in World War II with indigenous tribes. Planes would come in and drop cargo for the troops. [The tribes] had never seen anything like that before. They never even had contact with the outside world. But they saw these planes and created a religion based on them. They worshipped it, hoping that these gods would drop off cargo to them. In the book Gods, we're trying to set up a foundation so people can understand that all the religions of the world are a form of a cargo cult. And it all relates to seeing things in the sky and supernatural contact.
MJ: Are you at all worried this will be seen as an attack on faith?
TD: I'm not worried about it but understand that it will happen. I grew up in a Christian family. My mom was a nondenominational Christian—you know, baptizing everybody, all that kind of stuff, singing songs on Sunday. I was forced to go to church for so long, and it wasn't until I traveled the world, when I was in the Middle East and reading about all the different religions in the world, that I thought, "Wow, something's kind of funky with my religion."
MJ: In one of your emails to Podesta you said that this project is about changing the cynical views of youth toward government. Can you elaborate on that?
TD: Over a long period of time, the government has had to do things routinely in regards to this subject matter, and they consistently lied because the government couldn't define an issue as sensitive as this. So young adults grew up with the internet and found out that these things were real. But the government had to keep lying about it but never came out and explained why. The problem is, now you have this huge population of people becoming adults who just think that government is full of lies all the time.
There have been decades of strategic implementation of a plan to deal with this issue and create a way to move forward. You'll see those initial drips when they start announcing planets they think have life. Then they start announcing microbial life. And then they start announcing structures, and then they start announcing other things. I think you're going to start seeing an avalanche of all that stuff, and the reason is because now we got our act together. And it took 70 years to do it.
MJ: So you're starting work on a film?
TD: We'll start filming in the fall. Everyone thinks this movie is about skateboarders and UFOs. It's not. It's a coming-of-age thriller, comedy, adventure, very Spielberg in its architecture, but attacking some of the big niche paranormal subjects. I think it's way more like The Goonies than it is anything else.

MJ: So you're pretty sure you're going to succeed expanding horizons and helping people view the world differently?
TD: My whole life has been completely about being underestimated. I remember when Blink signed to a major label, and we had a debut party for the signing. No one came to party, only the guy that signed us. And I remember sitting there, like, "Shit, no one likes this." I remember on the first label we signed on to, the owner of the label made a bet that we wouldn't sell more than 3,000 records. And that record went on and sold [millions].
You'll always see me doing things that I have no business doing. Whether it's directing a major motion picture or meeting with the most important people in government and dealing with the biggest subjects on Earth. The story of the millennia. These are things I aspire to tackle. It doesn't mean I'm going to win on all of them, but God damn, it looks like I've got a pretty good shot at it.
The top row are screen grabs from a video taken in January 2017 of a reported UFO over Liverpool, UK. The bottom row shows a very similar reported UFO in March 2017 over Gloucester, UK.
If some British tabloids are to be believed, UFOs have been lighting up the British skies these days, as if the night skies were an immense Christmas tree.
As reported in The Express, “thousands of people across the globe are seeing mysterious shape-shifting UFO.”
Of course, an unidentified flying object typically turns out to be something other than an ET spacecraft once we take a closer look. In this instance, on March 12, Rob Wheatman, a resident of Gloucester, captured an odd aerial phenomenon on video, as seen below.
“I saw it as a sparkling ‘star’ from the garden in Elmbridge, due south,” according to GloucesterLive. “What alerted me was an orange light that came from it and traveled at speed north east. I grabbed my video and luckily it has a 40x zoom and that’s when I got the images of the bizarre light you saw.”
While there doesn’t seem to be any outward appearance of fakery going on here, there tends to be an immediate attitude either on the part of individuals who offer alleged UFO videos or from media sources that have a tendency to stretch the idea of credulity with descriptions like “[t]his apparently intergalactic lightshow was filmed above Gloucester last night, and it’s got us, and the cameraman, baffled. What it shows is anyone’s guess...We’re pinning our money on aliens. Definitely aliens.”
Once again, let’s offer this reminder: The vast majority of UFO sightings are eventually explained as natural or man-made objects.
We consulted a photo analyst who was unimpressed with the sightings.
“In this Gloucester video, I noticed first that the object was not in focus. That’s why it looked like a diamond shape. This is a common appearance of out of focus objects with some cameras,” according to Marc D’Antonio, chief photo and video analyst for the Mutual UFO Network.
“In that video, the cameraman stated he was looking ‘due south.’ I believe that, due south at some point during the night, you will see Sirius, the brightest star in the northern sky. Because a star is ever only a point source, the slightest disturbance to the air between the camera and edge of the atmosphere in the direction being imaged will cause the image to dance around. This is called atmospheric scintillation,” D’Antonio told The Huffington Post.
In addition to his work as a video analyst, D’Antonio is CEO of FX Models, where he builds miniature versions of classified objects for his clients that include the U.S. Navy, Congress and the joint chiefs of staff. He knows a thing or two about things that are real, faked or simply misidentified.
HuffPost asked D’Antonio to look at another reported UK UFO video from January. This video begins with an object over Liverpool looking remarkably like the object in the first video above from Gloucester:
”In the second video, I noted that the object was out of focus at times. The cameraman stated that the object didn’t move, yet it absolutely did, moving over time from a position to the right and above a branch to a position just off the tip of that branch,” D’Antonio said.
“It had changed direction to reveal its nature ― it was an aircraft, landing lights on when it turned on final approach to a nearby airport. Landing lights can be seen up to 90 miles away and will persist for up to 4-5 minutes, then fade out as the aircraft makes its final turns. In my opinion, the first video showed an astronomical object ― likely Sirius ― and the second video showed a likely aircraft on landing approach.”
Incidentally, the objects in question in these two videos are quite similar to a diamond-shaped “UFO” videotaped in 2015 over another UK town, Tynemouth. In that case, it was determined that the object was, in fact, the bright star Sirius.
If you happen to spot something in the night sky that, at first, seems out-of-this-world and tempts you to consider that you’re lucky enough to witness visitors from far away, remember that you’re more than likely seeing something that is truly astronomical in nature.

Uncovered video shows 'Illuminati destroying 13,000-year-old alien satellite built to keep an eye on humankind'
Uncovered video shows 'Illuminati destroying 13,000-year-old alien satellite built to keep an eye on humankind'
The Black Knight craft is famous among alien hunters who claim it was planted by another race thousands of years ago in order to keep a watch over us
BY KEYAN MILANIAN
This is the bizarre video 'leaked' online that conspiracy theorists claim shows the destruction of an ancient alien satellite.
The Black Knight craft is famous among alien hunters who claim it was planted by another race thousands of years ago in order to keep a watch on humankind.
But a new video, shared by secureteam10 , alleges the alien technology's destruction has been caught on camera.
A clip on YouTube shows a huge fireball hurtling through space as parts of the UFO break off it.
One conspiracy theorist has claimed an 'anti-matter missile' was used to destroy it.
Now UFO conspiracists claim 'alien Black Knight satellite has visited Earth'
During the video, in a brief few seconds, another UFO appears nearby which they say was the aggressor - and a craft owned by the Illuminati.
Eventually, the fireball turns into one perfectly round flying object that the video's producers say is an alien escape pod.
However, alien hunter Tyler Glockner, who runs the popular secureteam10 channel, admits during the video that he is skeptical.
A clip on YouTube shows a huge fireball hurtling through space as parts of the UFO break off it
He said the bizarre profile that posted the clip does not appear to be reputable and questions the strange film angles within the clip.
The Black Knight is said to be 13,000 years old and discovered by Nikola Tesla back in 1932.
He was convinced the bizarre machinery was alien and placed in the orbit to monitor the earth.
Incredible 1989 Nashville UFO Photographs Provided by Commander Graham Bethune of the US Navy
Incredible 1989 Nashville UFO Photographs Provided by Commander Graham Bethune of the US Navy
The photographs of these UFOs were provided by Commander Graham Bethune of the US Navy. He obtained these photographs of a FS-143 saucer from a close friend who claimed to have rendezvoused with another intelligence and requests anonymity. These photographs were allegedly taken on September 27, 1989, near Nashville, Tennessee and used to build a model for theatrical events.
The photographs show strong circular columns of light shining down from the craft that suddenly stop in mid-air. Our spotlights do not function in this manner.
The Photographer’s Story
An experienced photographer was driving in a remote area near Nashville, Tennessee on the night of July 14, 1989. He saw a light behind the trees on top of a mountain several miles away at about 9:00 PM. He stopped his car, opened the trunk, picked up two cameras, a Canon AE-1 and a Canon T-90, that had previously been loaded with film. He started walking toward the bright light. The light came over the mountain several miles away and he started taking pictures with the cameras. He noticed a coronal discharge from around the perimeter of the object. It appeared to be materializing and coming into his vision. The bright light continued moving toward him. He aimed the camera at the light and started taking photos. His first photo was taken about 30 degrees above the horizon. When the object stopped he was shooting at about 50 degree up with the object still about four to six miles away. The photographer states, “I had a feeling that the craft was behind the mountain waiting for me and when it appeared it felt like I was in another world, the sounds were far, far away.” He looked at the object but could not see any definition, the light was far too bright and too far away. When he looked through the lens the craft was sharp and vivid. The craft was visible for more than five minutes, but less than ten. It seemed like forever. He changed the lens package from the T-90 to the AE-1 camera and continued shooting using all his film.
He felt he was not in control of what was happening. He remembers constantly pushing the buttons on the back of the T-90, each time he made a change it sharpened the image. The T-90 Canon with his lens package cost $3,400.00 It has four computer chips and at the time was one of the most professional cameras you could buy when purchased in 1985.” There were other witnesses, but they have been reluctant to come forward. They also were taking pictures, but the field around the craft interfered with the film as the craft moved away. They did not have high magnification lens so there was not enough definition to make the craft identifiable. The photographer has had a recent heart attack and an auto accident and does not want his name revealed.
The Canon T-9- was set upwith a spacer, two 2-2 X multipliers and 500 mm mirror lens with five filters. The lens package was 2000 mm plus. The speed of the film using the film push process is close to 3000. The camera was set up to take scenery at a distance. The computerized camera with computer chips was set to open the aperture as wide as possible. Commander Graham Bethune. was told by Bill Sherwood of Kodak that the object photographed with this package used on the camera was about five miles distant and would be 100 feet in diameter.ASA Kodak 400 or above film was used. Push processing was ordered when developing the film.
Film Analysis
Analysis of the film shows unusual colors not normally seen in any lighted object. The colors indicate a coronal discharge similar to the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights.) The photographs show a craft with approximately 32 red, white and blue perimeter lights. These lights are not used in normal aircraft configuration. At times they appear all red. At other times they are all white. Sometimes outer perimeter lights appear mixed in color indicating they may have the ability to change color.
Inside the outer perimeter lights are panels of lights. These also appear to have the ability to change color. Although they are predominantly white they are sometimes seen as partially red or black. Assuming the craft is 100 feet in diameter these outer panels take up about 40 feet or 20 feet on each side. Below the center of craft there appears to be a crystal or lights with crystal like appearance. Generally these lights appear blue. craft appears to rotate in the photos. Graham gave me his word that these were authentic photographs of an actual flying craft to the best knowledge. He has known the photographer for 24 years and the man worked for him for ten years. He has always been know to tell the truth and was of high character.
National UFO Center Note:
I have observed a UFO at close distance. The colors of the smoke probably a coronal discharge were similar to what I saw. The lights themselves have an unusual depth of color. When you look at a colored light it is normally a white light covered by a lens of red, yellow, green, blue etc. The lights on the craft appear as if the light contain the actual color. There is a vividness of color that is difficult to describe that appears to be in these photos. The fog or plasma is penetrated by the powerful lights shining downward. The lights extend down for an estimated seventy-five feet to one hundred plus feet and seem to stop abruptly. Duplication of this capability is exceptionally difficult to accomplish with any normal lights. I have never seen lights that have these properties except on a UFO, nor have I seen comparable photography. I have over 5000 hours flying time and taken thousands of photographs. I would be very interested in any similar photographs or videos of a comparable craft.
Searching for life on other planets is a complicated science. It’s not like a NASA probe is going to take a photo of another planet’s surface and see aliens walking around. We have to look for more subtle details, like the marks extraterrestrial organisms would have left behind. So what do scientists look for when they investigate other planets?
Maybe because of this bias we’re completely missing a life form right under our galactic noses that breathes hydrogen sulfide, for example — or doesn’t breathe at all. But we know what conditions have to exist on Earth for all the creatures here to survive, so we look for those things on other planets. They include oxygen for the aliens to breathe, water to sustain them and a Goldilocks-type temperature that is not too hot and not too cold.
That’s where the idea of a habitable zone comes in: It’s the area around a star where orbiting Earth-like planets are at the right distance for their surfaces to have liquid water. Any closer and the water would boil into gas; any farther and it would freeze into ice.
“Liquid water is essential to all life on Earth, and so the definition of a habitable zone is based on the hypothesis that extraterrestrial life would share this requirement,” Encyclopaedia Britannica points out.
It might not just be arrogance to assume alien life would need the same conditions to thrive as we do. Famous astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has explained that three of the most common elements in the universe — carbon, oxygen and hydrogen — are essential for life on Earth.
“Aliens need not look like us to resemble us in more fundamental ways,” he says. “You can bet that if life is found on another planet, it will be made of a similar mix of elements. Conversely, if life on Earth were composed primarily of, for example, molybdenum, bismuth, and plutonium, then we would have excellent reason to suspect that we were something special in the universe.”

Volcanoes
If a planet is not in a habitable zone, volcanoes could be crucial. Researchers from Cornell University recently suggested that volcanic eruption could warm the planet enough to support life.
Fossils
Life leaves behind evidence of its existence. In the case of tiny fossils recently discovered in Canada, they are likely what’s left of bacteria that lived in hydrothermal vents underwater in the early days of Earth, possibly more than 4 billion years ago. Some of the earliest, most primitive life on Earth may have lived in those vents, and because they share features with environmental conditions on Mars in the past, the fossil discovery may point scientists in a fruitful direction as they search for evidence of life on the Red Planet.
A message
The SETI Institute listens and looks for signals from intelligent extraterrestrial life forms. If life on other planets at a reasonable distance from Earth only consists of microorganisms, chances are they will not be sending us messages. But in case there are “technically sophisticated beings” out there, SETI is on the lookout for radio and light evidence of them.

Is Footage From The International Space Station Proof Aliens Exist?
Is Footage From The International Space Station Proof Aliens Exist?
I am fairly certain aliens exist at this point. I don't think they're little green men, or small and wrinkly like ET, or even red and angry like Martians, but I'm pretty sure they're out there. Humans can't be the only intelligent life in the universe. We're not even that intelligent; people die putting on their trousers every year. They genuinely fall over and hit their head or accidentally strangle themselves with their own jeans.
Like I said, I'm pretty sure aliens exist and they're laughing at us.
It's getting the proof that's the hard bit.
But UFO obsessives are pretty sure that they've found hard, concrete evidence.
A lot of people think that aliens have been watching the International Space Station for years. NASA doesn't think so - but is the space agency lying to us? They certainly know a lot more than they let on.
The conspiracy theorists say there are lots of unmanned flying objects around the ISS. Can you see an alien in this photo? I can see stars...

Either I need to get some specs, or there isn't anything there. Samantha Cristoforetti, an Italian European Space Agency astronaut, is just showing how to operate window shutters in a very snazzy top that I now want.
If she weren't in space, it wouldn't really be that exciting. Some aliens would make a day in space a bit more fun.
Surely if there were UFO whizzing around the space station someone would have noticed before now? And perhaps done something?
Are these a host of alien space ships or just...debris? It looks like the milkyway has dandruff to me.

Tyler Glockner is convinced. On his YouTube channel he says: "I do believe that we have some undeniable footage that will prove that there are unknown manned objects flying out there in space.
"I'm not talking about space debris or any of the usual go-to excuses used by NASA.
"I've had a tonne of people saying there is a point in this video when, moment after [Samantha] opens up this window hatch, there are multiple UFOs that can be seen speeding by."
Not too sure about that Tyler. Aliens...or bits of space rubble.
But it's not just space. Aliens have also been seen in Lancashire. Apparently it's now part of the remit of the police to check out UFO sightings! Well, as long as it's not getting cats out of trees, I guess. Checking out a potential suspect alien is a pretty fun way to spend Monday afternoon.
In a Freedom of Information request, the police were forced to admit they had to check out Lytham St Annes, near Blackpool, and Buckshaw Village, near Chorley for alien spacecrafts two years ago. That's probably the most exciting thing to happen in either of those places!
And there's more. A UFO apparently landed in Pendle Hill two years ago and even last year the Lancashire police had several occasions where they had to check for red and white UFOs.
But the police are denying that they actually think any aliens are lingering in the Lancashire area. Apparently if someone says they think they saw an alien, the police treat is as suspicious and think it could be something else.
Personally I would be more inclined to believe that the caller was high. But that's just yet another reason why I'm not in any position of authority.
What happened to man 'bundled into van after stealing proof of ALIENS from Area 51?'
What happened to man 'bundled into van after stealing proof of ALIENS from Area 51?'
A COUPLE have come forward to shockingly claim they witnessed the sinister abduction by federal agents of a man who claimed to have stolen video of real aliens from the top-secret Area 51 military base.
The report claims a man was kidnapped after getting evidence of aliens from Area 51.
The outrageous allegations were made in a report which claims the incident happened more than 20 years ago. And the couple say they have been troubled ever since over what may have happened to the "kidnap victim".
The woman has reported her claims to the US-based Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), which investigates suspected UFO and alien cases, in the hope she can discover what happened to the man who she claims first approached her at an auto garage in Casa Grande, Arizona, in around 1995.
The "missing man" claimed to have obtained video from Area 51, which proved dead aliens were stored there in the Nevada desert, according to the report.
According to conspiracy theorists the mysterious US Air Force base Area 51 is where evidence of alien visitations, including dead bodies from the alleged Roswell flying saucer crash of 1947, is hidden away.
The witness report said: "He told me that he knew it sounded far fetched but that he has been running from town to town trying to stay hidden from the government secret military.
"He said that he felt he finally had lost them and that he was there to get the vehicle tagged to fit in the state of Arizona and with his new fictitious name.
"He said he was on a mission to break out the truth to the world about UFOs, and that fact that they were real and he could prove it.
"He said that his mission was to tell as many as possible and to prove it to all he could by means of showing people the evidence he had stolen from Area 51.
"He explained that this is where the government and military try to hide the truth of aliens.
"And the fact is they are real and that he wanted me to see his evidence.
"He stated he stole at least reels of video tape feed all showing information and documentation of actual aliens."
The witness said she and her boyfriend agreed to meet this man at a motel to view the evidence.
But, when they got there, they saw something sinister.
The report added: "The man instructed me that he was at this one motel I knew of and that he was in the first room on the south end and I knew perfectly where this was.
"We pull into to motel and and the man's car was not pulled up all the way into the parking spot and a rear passenger door was still open.
"His motel room door had been kicked in and it was down.
"I could see the manager of the motel going in an opposite direction from us and he would not respond to my calling to him.
Bikers held at gunpoint when going through Area 51
He said that his mission was to tell as many as possible and to prove it to all he could by means of showing people the evidence he had stolen from Area 51.
Report to MUFON
"We were out looking around stunned at all that had taken place when we saw in the middle of the parking area sat a white new van and the doors were slamming shut and the driver was in a hurry to leave.
"Noise like kicking the panels inside the van could be heard as it kicked up rocks speeding away from us."
The couple were spooked and did not report it at the time, but were troubled by it ever since.
The report added: "This has always bothered me. What happened to him? Is anyone looking for him? Did he survive this ordeal?
"I want to tell the little tiny part of this story in effort to help solve a possible missing person situation.
"In case this man had never shown up anywhere again.
"Just maybe somebody will recognise the very general information I do know about and that it might help solve a serious event."
She said the man was around 45, tall, white, pale-skinned, with no facial hair and a receding hair line with light hair.
Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual, has reviewed the claims.
He said: "This is a fascinating story straight out of the X-Files, but when you think about the details it does seem to fall apart.
"If he was running away from a secret government agency why would he tell everyone he encounters?
"Why wouldn't he go straight to the media or hide the evidence, or pass it on to someone else before he is captured?
"Why didn't the woman and her boyfriend report the man being apparently abducted in a van to the police?
"If this is not a fantasy, it is possible the man had escaped from an institution and he was recaptured by a psychiatric team rather than by Area 51 spooks.
"Also, why has it taken the person 22 years to report it?"
Lt Col Ellison Onizuka, who was killed in the 1986 Challenger space shuttle explosion, reportedly told his colleague Clark C McClelland that he'd seen footage of the dead extraterrestrials.
McClelland – a former operator if the NASA space shuttle fleet – made the stunning revelation in an article he wrote named, Alien Disclosure from an Astronaut.
The infamous Roswell occurrence refers to an incident in 1947 where ufologists claim a spaceship crashed into a field in New Mexico.
The US military has always denied the claims, saying the object was a weather balloon.
However, over the years multiple witnesses have come forward to say they saw the remains of aliens in the "spaceship" wreckage.

REVEALED: Late astronaut Lt Col Ellison Onizuka reportedly saw dead aliens
“What appeared to be some sort of medical examination room with small bodies laying on some sort of table or slab”
Clark C McClelland
McClelland claims he was surprised when his colleague asked about his opinion on the existence of aliens.
He wrote: “(Mr Onizuka) had a surprising experience along with other US Air Force (USAF) aerospace flight engineers and pilots while on military training duty at McClellan air force base, about eight or nine years prior to his astronaut training.
"He and this group were at this base for specialised training when they were directed to report to a viewing room.
"As they were seated, the room darkened and a movie began without the usual official introduction by a USAF officer.”

CLAIMS: Clark C McClelland (pictured) made the extraordinary claims in an article
Are aliens at WAR on the moon?
Lt Col Onizuka apparently told him he was shocked when the film "began to show what appeared to be some sort of medical examination room with small bodies laying on some sort of table or slab".
He added: "The small, strange looking creatures were humanoid in shape and appeared similar to those described by alleged witnesses at the well-known Roswell site in the Southwest USA in 1947.
"They all had large heads, large eyes, slight torsos, arms, and legs. They did not appear to be of earthly origin.”
McClelland said his NASA colleague then speculated that the footage was shown to them by bosses as a test to see how they would react if one of them actually saw an alien.
The two men reportedly agreed to discuss the incident later but before they could, Lt Col Onizuka died in the infamous Challenger explosion.
McClelland is known to be a dedicated believer in aliens.
He once claimed to have seen a nine-foot extraterrestrial in the bay of a space shuttle and also a flying saucer.
Rumours of dead aliens at Roswell have surfaced before.

Two large dust storms in two weeks, each spanning an area larger than the United States, have researchers pondering the atmospheric dynamics on Mars. [US-Sized Dust Storms Seen on Mars]
When we look at the night sky, we see a large glowing moon and tiny stars and planets. But if you’re sitting on one planet orbiting the nearby TRAPPIST-1 star, the six other planets in the system would appear as massive moon-sized globes. In fact, these planets are so close that some scientists think microbes could potentially hop from planet to planet and colonize the system outright.
In a recent study submitted for publication, researchers from Harvard University created a model to estimate the probability of interplanetary panspermia in the TRAPPIST-1 system. What this means is extraterrestrial life may have been seeded multiple planets over time, allowing them to inhabit each one and even evolve individually over time. In other words, if one planet on the TRAPPIST-1 system bear life, then it’s likely the other planets in the system bear life as well.
“During the transfer between one to another, microbes and living organisms survive the harsh conditions of space,” co-author Avi Loeb, an astronomer at Harvard University, tells Inverse. “They could end up landing on a new planet and seeding life there as well.”
With the recent discovery of seven Earth-like planets orbiting TRAPPIST-1, it’s easy to imagine intergalactic empires, where aliens can take vacations to neighboring planets. According to these researchers, if one of these TRAPPIST-1 planets contains life, it’s likely that others do as well.
Loeb and his colleague believe there’s a higher chance life evolved from inorganic substances in the TRAPPIST-1 system than the solar system itself. These microbes may have traveled from planet to planet by hitching a ride inside rocks. When an object collides into a planet, it sends these rocks flying into space — and possibly will wind up on another planet and seed life there.
What’s more, if life exists in the TRAPPIST-1 system, it’s probably more diverse. Compared to the solar system, more species of life likely evolved in the TRAPPIST-1 system because of interplanetary migration of life. Of course, this model depends on whether there actually is life in the system in the first place.
“In this TRAPPIST-1 system, we don’t know if there’s a cloud of asteroids that impacted those planets,” Loeb says. “More importantly, if one of these planets developed life, we don’t know that. We don’t know if planets have atmospheres at the moment…All we’re saying in this paper is that if life exists on one planet, it’s likely that it exists on another planet in the system.”
The panspermia theory applies to Earth as well — perhaps compounds from comets seeded the planet with the building blocks for life. Researchers actually found that panspermia is more likely to occur in the TRAPPIST-1 planets than between Earth and Mars, especially since the TRAPPIST-1 planets are so close.
In fact, travel time between TRAPPIST-1 planets is 100 times less than the planets in our solar system. The chances of a rock with life from one TRAPPIST-1 planet hitting another is 20 times greater than the chances in our solar system. Altogether, the chance of delivery and survival of life on a rock is 2,000 times higher in TRAPPIST-1.
Panspermia for the TRAPPIST-1 planets would essentially appear like an astronomical version of island-hopping. The researchers created models based on the way species on Earth migrated between islands. This concept works better if the planets have robust atmospheres which could allow for liquid surface water.
“What we did in the paper is make the analogy with islands,” Loeb says. “People have studied over the years immigration of species between islands. For example, Galapagos. There were models developed for the transfer of life from one to another.”
Discovering whether these planets — especially the three habitable ones — have atmospheres would be the next step. The James Webb Space Telescope will be looking for atmospheres in the TRAPPIST-1 planets, which will help scientists analyze potential biosignatures and narrow down on other possible signs of life in the system.
“We have three planets in the habitable zone, and that gives us three times of rolling the dice,” Loeb says. “In the solar system, we just have Earth, but there we have three rollings of the dice, and what our paper says is the success of one could affect the others.”

The Phoenix Lights: Twenty Years Later
The Phoenix Lights: Twenty Years Later
JP Robinson
For more information on mass UFO sightings like the article below, read TheAlien Enigmaby JP Robinson.
Twenty years ago this month (March 2017) one of the largest and spectacular mass UFO sightings in modern UFO history took place. Many have debunked the incident claiming that the lights seen in the sky by so many locals back in 1997, were simply flares sent out by the National Guard, but closer investigation would suggest that what occurred that night could be much more bizarre.
As people stood outside their homes in Phoenix, Arizona and looked skywards towards the Hale-Bopp comet which was passing by, many local residents witnessed a sky borne anomalous object which would later be referred to as ‘the Phoenix Lights’.
This particular mass UFO sighting was seen by thousands of local residents on March 13, 1997 as it moved slowly and silently across the Phoenix skyline. Described as a vast, gun-metal black triangle with huge round lights, the object which was first spotted at 8:15 p.m. continued to travel through the night sky for 106 minutes in total before finally disappearing from view.
One eyewitness Sue Watson said, “It had five big lights in front and it was the shape of a boomerang.” Mike Watson, another local who watched the lights in triangle formation heading straight towards him insisted that, “it was a solid craft, silent, very low to the ground.” Continuing, he added, “And the thing that took me was the size. Profoundly enormous, profoundly massive, we don’t even have a shopping centre this big.”
Seen from different vantage points across the city, the sighting caught many people’s attention and public interest in the unknown craft was bordering on hysteria over the days and weeks that followed. Excessive media coverage only served to fuel the fire, as residents were beginning to demand answers which would sufficiently explain what the mysterious lights could have been.
The previous evening, retired Lieutenant and Navajo Ranger John Dover watched the mysterious and silent lights flying over a Navajo reservation in Leupp, Northern Arizona. Dover, who paid regular visits to the Indian reservations during his time as a ranger, claimed that seeing UFOs was a regular occurrence for the residents there.
As part of an agency called the Navajo Nation Rangers, Dover had the freedom to investigate paranormal cases which were constantly being reported to the Police. Policing the Navajo reservations with his partner, Stan Milford, Dover took paranormal reports from the Navajo very seriously and together they investigated some very interesting cases and even found physical evidence in some cases which helped reinforce witness testimonies. “We finally started doing UFO cases; we had some major cases where landings and occupants were seen. Very unusual cases, very large craft”, Dover stated.
Dr. Lynne Kitei has written books and made a documentary about the lights, which she also saw that night in Arizona. “Most things can be explained, only a small percentage cannot and just because we don't have the technology to definitively define what these things are doesn't mean they aren't real”, she explained. According to Dr. Kitei, “The ‘Phoenix Lights’ is being considered around the world as the most important and most documented mass sighting in modern history.”
Over the weeks that followed, more than 700 witnesses called in reports to local officials and the National UFO Reporting Center, a private organisation based in Seattle. Governor of Arizona, Fyfe Symington III was coming under increasing pressure to supply some answers to the public regarding the lights. Shortly after, he gave a press conference in which he openly denied any knowledge of the incident and even mocked those residents claiming they saw something by dressing up a colleague in an alien costume and declaring that they had caught the culprit. It wasn’t until fifteen years after the sighting that Symington admitted, “I knew more about the lights over Phoenix than I let on.”
The evening of March 13, the Governor was eating his evening meal at home with his family when he saw the reports on the news. Deciding to personally investigate the matter further, Symington drove out to Sumida Park to see for himself what all the fuss was about. Within a few minutes of his arrival in the park, he looked up and saw what so many others had been describing; “This great big massive craft, probably 3 or 4,000 feet, took out a whole chunk of the sky,” he said. Adding, “And you could see other aircraft in the distance but the airplanes looked like little toothpicks compared to the size of this craft”.
The official explanation given at the time was that the Arizona National Guard had sent out flying A-10s to drop high-intensity magnesium flares between 9:30 and 10 p.m.
Although it is accepted that the flares were actually launched that night, the video footage, photographic evidence and multiple sightings across a wide expanse of the city confirmed that the lights from the flares were a completely separate event and were not the cause of all the reports.
When the Air Force was questioned over the appearance of the lights they avidly denied reports suggesting that they had sent out fighter planes to investigate the phenomenon. However, an anonymous phone call from an airman at Luke Air Force Base to the National UFO Reporting Center was recorded on the morning of March 14, in which he claimed that shortly after 8:30 p.m., Luke AFB did indeed send up two F-15 fighter jets.
“Apparently, we got a call from Prescott Valley Airport, a small airport north of us, reporting an object that had a near miss with a small Cessna” said the airman. “The call came approximately 8:32, that they encountered something over Phoenix, Arizona, over the area of 7th Avenue and Indian School Road. They don’t know what it was.”
One of the F-15 pilots wrote a statement which stated that they had followed the aircraft as it travelled on a straight-line course heading towards Sky Harbor Airport, at around 18,000 ft. before descending to 10,500 ft. He also described seeing five distinct lights in a triangular pattern and when he landed back at the base, the facility was immediately closed – a total lockdown, as “all hell broke loose”, according to the insider. Whilst reporting the incident the airman declared, “The command pilot of this particular flight...I’ve never seen this man scared, and he was scared to death. He’s not sure what it was.”
The debate over the origins of the Phoenix lights continues to this day, even as the event occurred twenty years ago this year, but the memory of that colossal UFO remains firmly etched in the minds of all those who were looking on in awe.
