Date of sighting: April 8, 2016 Location of sighting:West San Fernando Valley, California, USA
This beautiful UFO was seen over California last week and its the same UFO that has been seen around the world. Its a rotating six sided diamond shape craft. It stays in place for up to a hour, then leaves fast. It makes you wonder, what kind of species uses this marvellous craft, and what intel are they gathering? Scott C. Waring
UFO Beam Seen From Passanger Jet Over Spain On April 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Beam Seen From Passanger Jet Over Spain On April 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: April 2017 Location of sighting: Spain 4,000 feet up in the air, this long dark object was seen poking through a cloud. It may be a beam or transporter that is sending down supplies into an underwater base and the UFO may be hidden in the clouds above it. These lucky passengers got to see it, even if its only for a few seconds. Its enough to change how you see the world. Not only are we not alone on Earth, we have never been alone on this planet. Aliens have lived here in secluded areas below the surface for over 10,000 years. Scott C. Waring Video states:
If you see some strange things flying in the air while traveling through the airplane, what questions will arise in your mind? A similar incident has happened recently, in fact, whenever a person travels in air, he sees the beautiful scenes of the sky window, but have you ever thought that, if you were in Hawaii If you see something different from the outside of the ship's window, how would you feel? In an airplane from Spain to England, a passenger got to see something similar, which he was able to see. In fact, this passenger had seen a pillar blown between the clouds. Due to which she got a little nervous, but only after she was caught, she caught that scene in her camera soon. Many people say that, in fact, this is the warning light from the oil terminal, so some people say that it can be a scratched in the seat window. This passenger says that on seeing from four thousand feet, this hammer looked like a big pillar of iron.
Mysterious ‘Underwater Wall’ That Circles The ENTIRE Planet Found On Google Earth (Video)
Mysterious ‘Underwater Wall’ That Circles The ENTIRE Planet Found On Google Earth (Video)
A mysterious video posted on YouTube claims there is a supermassive wall located beneath Earth’s oceans, encompassing the entire planet.
This mysterious wall, found by a YouTube channel called ‘Flat Earth Arabic’ claims the massive wall tens of thousands of miles across beneath the ocean.
In the distant past, UFO enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists have found countless unexplained things on Google Earth. From pyramids to mysterious towers, petroglyphs, and even sunken cities, Google Earth has unleashed the imagination of people around the globe.
Not long ago we reported about a supposed discovered just off the coast of Mexico—12°8’1.5″N, 119°35’26.4″W—where a researcher discovered a humongous underwater pyramid. Among the many structures that are said to remain hidden beneath the ocean, ‘researchers’ have found things that—supposedly—challenge everything we know about our history.
Last year, a teenager using Google Earth ‘discovered’ what researchers are calling one of the largest, previously unknown ancient cities belonging to the Maya.
In similar ways, researchers all around the globe have been hunting for Pyramids and lost structures that have eluded experts for decades.
Last year we reported about a complex of structures that stretch for a staggering 76 miles at its furthest points.
The formations found off the coast of Baja California include mysterious tube-like constructions that are roughly 2.4 miles in width. Given the curious shape and distinguishable lines, many believe these are just some of the many underwater structures on our planet.
However, these new claims go beyond anything we’ve probably ever come across.
This wall’s sheer size and its adherence to linearity indicate it is not a natural formation to many. In fact, many people are convinced that due to the numerous discoveries made across the globe which completely contradict history as we have been taught in school, something like this is entirely possible. After all—they say—Earth is millions of years old and we are begging to uncover evidence that suggests many ancient civilizations inhabited Earth in our planet’s long history.
BUT, HOLD ON A SEC, THIS CAN’T BE A WALL, RIGHT?
Zooming in on the provided coordinates you clearly see what seems to be a MASSIVE structure. But who could have erected such a wall? If it really is an artificial structure, how old is it? What was its purpose?
Many disagree and don’t believe we are looking at an actual wall. In fact, there even might be a perfectly reasonable explanation for the enigmatic finding.
What if we are looking at a Google Earth glitch?
Due to the fact that Google Earth uses different images while ‘mapping the planet’, it isn’t uncommon to encounter parts of the map that just didn’t quite match perfectly, resulting in a MASSIVE wall that encompasses the entire planet.
One of the most likely explanations for this ‘impressive find’ is that we are looking at a digital seam in the mapping of the Poles.
SATELLITE IMAGE STITCHING ERROR?
Image stitching or photo stitching is the process of combining multiple photographicimages with overlapping fields of view to produce a segmented panorama or high-resolution image.
Commonly performed through the use of computer software, most approaches to image stitching require nearly exact overlaps between images and identical exposures to produce seamless results.
Image stitching is widely used in today’s world and was used in the satellite images we are seeing on Google Earth.
A lot of things can have played a role in creating such an effect. Illumination, point of view, reference, and many other things may have played a crucial role in this massive error. One of the most likely reasons for the seam appearing could be the background changing between two images for the same continuous foreground.
CHECK OUT THE VIDEO BELLOW:
What are we looking at there? A Supermassive wall as the above video claims? Or just another glitch in the image processing techniques in Google maps?

The sci-fi blockbuster Oblivion gave us a glimpse of life in 2077 on Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, after the Earth was devastated by an extraterrestrial attack. But how far from reality is this? Going by Cassini-Huygens’ findings, perhaps it’s not too far! Cassini-Huygens is the first unmanned spacecraft to orbit Saturn, a spectacular ringed planet in our Solar System. Launched on October 15, 1997, it set out to discover the planet and its satellites, up-close. In its 20 long years, the spacecraft has revealed many fascinating facts about Saturn, its rings and moons, including some clues about the possibility of life.
However, Cassini-Huygens will soon draw a close to its eventful life in September 2017.
In the first seven years of its journey, the spacecraft hovered around Venus, flew past Mars, manoeuvred through the asteroid belt and slid past Jupiter, before finally entering Saturn’s orbit on July 1, 2004. Its last leg started on April 22, 2017. After sailing past Titan, it will criss-cross Saturn’s equator 22 times, and finally sink into Saturn. According to National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the agency controlling the spacecraft, its thrusters have run out of fuel, forcing the inevitable death.
Scientists at NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency, started the groundwork on Cassini-Huygens back in 1980s. Named after two Italian astronomers, Giovanni Cassini, who studied Saturn’s rings, and Christiaan Huygens, who discovered Titan, the spacecraft has two parts — the Cassini orbiter that orbits Saturn, and the Huygens probe that landed on Titan. Since Saturn is so far away from the Sun, it is infeasible to harness solar rays as a power source. Hence, Cassini-Huygens is powered with limited-period plutonium radioisotope electric generators that generate electricity like a nuclear power plant.
While Cassini was in orbit around Saturn, it detached Huygens to descend on Titan on December 25, 2004. Huygens, after falling freely for 20 days, entered the history books as the first robotic probe to land on a satellite of another planet. It captured every detail of Titan's atmosphere and surface, and sent it to NASA’s Deep Space Network until its batteries drained up.
A closer look Saturn, with its majestic rings and enigmatic moons, is a jewel in our Solar System. It is the second largest planet after Jupiter and is a gas giant made up mostly of hydrogen and helium. Its diameter is approximately nine times that of the Earth, and it is 95 times more massive than the Earth. It is also the only planet in the Solar System that is less dense than water. Until recently, these were the only facts about Saturn that we knew. Cassini-Huygens has tremendously increased our understanding of the planet.
With numerous up-close observations, it has pointed out many earth-like features on Saturn. We now know that Saturn has numerous ‘jet streams’ that spew water vapour and heat into the atmosphere, of which the hexagonal jet stream in the north pole is one. Photographs by Cassini have revealed the magnificent symmetry of this stream and has shown this to be a long-lived phenomenon.
Cassini has captured glimpses of ‘lightnings’ and ‘hurricanes’ in the Saturnian atmosphere, and has studied the seasonal ‘Great White Storm’ — a once-in-30-years phenomenon (one Saturn year equals 30 Earth years). It has also studied Saturn’s auroras, atmospheric composition, the swelling of its outer atmosphere, and the planet’s rate of rotation (one Saturn day equals 10.5 Earth hours), even correcting previous values by six minutes. By the end of its life, Cassini would have orbited Saturn 293 times.
The system of rings around Saturn is expansive and bright, and hence, easily visible through a telescope.
Named alphabetically based on when they were discovered, the rings consist of numerous icy rocks ranging from the size of a grain of salt to the size of a mountain. With Cassini, scientists now have data about the size, temperature, composition and distribution of Saturn’s rings. It has studied the interactions between rings and moons, and has recorded instances of some moons stealing particles from a ring, or throwing particles into a ring.
Saturn’s equinox, when sun rays strike the rings on the edges, provides the perfect opportunity to capture intricate details and features of the rings. Cassini has used this occasion to observe previously unknown or poorly understood phenomena like the ‘spokes’ in the rings, and finger-like radial features that rotate with the rings. Images captured during equinox also show that in places, Saturn’s rings are far less smooth than was thought.
Saturn has 62 known moons and numerous moonlets. Though early missions like Voyager and Pioneer provided a rough sketch of Saturn’s moons, it was poorly understood. Cassini has discovered seven new moons and revealed how each moon is unique and sharply different from the others. With high-resolution, close-up images of some of the moons captured during fly-bys, we now know that most of these moons have cratered surfaces, some contain atmospheres and large amounts of ice, hinting at the possibility of life.
The most remarkable contribution of this spacecraft is the exploration of Titan. When Cassini flew by Titan, it saw beyond the orange haze of methane clouds, and revealed the presence of huge ‘lakes’ and ‘seas’ of liquid hydrocarbons (like methane and ethane). After Cassini landed on Titan, it revealed that Titan actually has a climate system like Earth, with a ‘water cycle’, where liquid hydrocarbons evaporate to form clouds, and later precipitate as rain. There was also evidence of an internal, liquid ocean beneath Titan’s surface, likely composed of water and ammonia.
Microbial life Cassini also helped answer the reason behind Enceladus being the brightest object in the Solar System. It showed that beneath the icy crust of Enceladus, there may be an underground ocean, from which water vapour and ice particles frequently erupted. Subsequently, it detected water, carbon dioxide and various hydrocarbons, the presence of a unique chemistry and internal heat - the right composition to support life. This excited scientists looking for life, proclaiming Enceladus to be one of the ‘most likely places in the Solar System to host alien microbial life’. This discovery also gave a peek into how our Earth might have been before life originated.
Cassini has provided us with an intimate understanding of Saturn and has opened up a treasure trove of information. It has solved several intriguing mysteries and answered long standing questions about the Saturnian system. But, can life exist on Saturn? Cassini-Huygens’ vital clues have kept scientists pondering over that, while it begins its final journey to become one among Saturn’s specks of dust.

Conspiracy theorists claim the Nazis experimented with UFO technology secretly in Antarctica.
Now conspiracy theorists claim to have found evidence of an alien base on Smyley Island, off the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, on Google maps
They believe this peculiar object, around 500-metres long, near the Antarctic could be an underwater alien base.
Theories about secret bases in the Antarctic have circulated for years – with one conspiracy detailing that the Nazis had secret bases in the southernmost continent which they used to experiment on captured UFOs during WWII.
The new object was spotted on Google maps by website UFO Sightings Hotspot which has revealed its "findings".
The unusual object has been described as a "large body of ice sheered off of the side of the continent".
GOOGLE
A close up of the object UFO experts claim could be an alien base.
"The shapes and forms from this iceberg look very different if we compare it with all the different shapes and forms of tabular and non-tabular icebergs."
The website added: "I'm not an iceberg expert but this object is really peculiar and looks like a vessel disguised as an iceberg.
"It looks out of place."
But UFO sceptic Scott Brando said: "I don't see any mystery, it just looks like ice."
“Although the search has not yet detected a convincing signal from extra-terrestrial intelligence, these are early days”
Andrew Siemion
The campaign was funded by Russian billionaire Yuri Milner and is backed by celeb scientist Stephen Hawking and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg
Scientists remain pessimistic over the signals after a number false alarms – but described them as “significant events” while admitting they may have caused by human interference.
Signals from space are thought to be one of the best ways to track down aliens from outside our Solar System.
GETTY
ALIEN SIGNALS: Scientists are probing 11 'significant' events from space
Andrew Siemion, director of the University of California, Berkeley's SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Research Centre, said: "Although the search has not yet detected a convincing signal from extra-terrestrial intelligence, these are early days.
"The work that has been completed so far provides a launch pad for deeper and more comprehensive analysis to come.”
He added: “We were able to determine that they were most likely due to radio frequency interference.”
Researchers only began the project in 2015 and remain hopeful they will solve the mystery of alien life.

Vergeet Alpha Centauri: laten we Sirius bezoeken!
Vergeet Alpha Centauri: laten we Sirius bezoeken!
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Hoewel de ster veel verder weg staat dan Alpha Centauri is de reisduur aanzienlijk korter.
Dat stelt een internationaal team van onderzoekers in dit fascinerende paper. Als de ruimtecapsule vandaag de aarde zouden verlaten, zou deze zich zo rond 2086 in een baan rond de ster kunnen nestelen.
Alpha Centauri Precies een jaar geleden kwamen Stephen Hawking en Yuri Milner met een fantastisch idee op de proppen. Ze stelden voor een ruimtesonde te sturen naar de sterren die het dichtst bij de aarde staan: het Alpha Centauri-systeem. Die ruimtesonde zou hooguit 20 jaar over de reis mogen doen. Het betekent dat deze zich met een snelheid van 60.000 kilometer per seconde door de ruimte moet haasten. Onmogelijk? Nee, zo stelden Hawking en Milner. Ze stellen voor een ruimtevaartuig te bouwen dat niet meer weegt dan een vel papier en vastzit aan een flinterdun zeil dat aangedreven wordt door gigantische laserstralen. Gaandeweg zal het zeil – dat in feite dus aangedreven wordt door licht – een steeds hogere snelheid krijgen. In theorie een fantastisch idee dat het inderdaad mogelijk maakt om Alpha Centauri binnen 20 jaar te bereiken.
Laserstralen drijven het zeil – met daaraan de ruimtesonde – voort.
Waar zit de rem? Maar Hawking en Milner hadden één ding over het hoofd gezien: de rem. Want hoe gaan we dit ruimtevaartuig – dat door de laserpulsen een steeds hogere snelheid krijgt – in de nabijheid van Alpha Centauri af laten remmen? Eerder dit jaar bogen Duitse onderzoekers zich over die vraag en ze stelden voor om de straling van de sterren in Alpha Centauri te gebruiken om de sonde af te remmen. Die aanpak heeft echter één nadeel: de reis naar Alpha Centauri gaat veel langer duren. In plaats van 20 jaar zal het – onder meer door de lange remtijd van de sonde – een slordige 146 jaar duren voor de sonde zich in een baan rond Proxima Centauri (ongetwijfeld de meest interessante ster die Alpha Centauri rijk is) kunnen nestelen. En daarmee wordt het briljante plan van Hawking en Milner voor de ongeduldige sterveling toch wat minder aantrekkelijk, of niet?
Sirius. Foto: Hubble / ESA / Akira Fujii.
Sirius Misschien moeten we onze blik dan ook op een andere eindbestemming richten, zo stellen wetenschappers nu. In hun paper opperen ze het plan om Sirius te bezoeken: de helderste ster aan onze nachthemel. Deze ster staat bijna twee keer verder weg dan Alpha Centauri, maar zouden we in minder dan de helft van het tijdsbestek dat nodig is om Alpha Centauri te bereiken, kunnen bezoeken. Berekeningen wijzen uit dat de reis naar Sirius ‘slechts’ 69 jaar in beslag zou nemen. Het heeft alles te maken met de helderheid van Sirius. De ster is zo’n zestien keer helderder dan Alpha Centauri en kan het ruimtevaartuig dus veel sneller af laten remmen.
Technologische ontwikkelingen Ook dit is in theorie een fantastisch plan. Toch hoeven we er niet op te rekenen dat het op korte termijn werkelijkheid wordt. Want er zijn nog wel enkele hobbels te nemen. Zo zullen we eerst in staat moeten zijn om een groot, maar flinterdun zeil te ontwikkelen dat bestand is tegen de extreme omstandigheden in de ruimte en zoveel mogelijk licht reflecteert. Maar, zo benadrukken de onderzoekers, naar de componenten waaruit zo’n zonnezeil kan bestaan (bijvoorbeeld grafeen) wordt momenteel veel onderzoek gedaan. Dus met een beetje geluk kan het wilde idee binnen enkele decennia werkelijkheid worden.
En daarmee komen de interstellaire ruimtereizen langzaam maar zeker binnen handbereik. Naast Sirius A – met een reistijd van zo’n 69 jaar – zouden we bijvoorbeeld ook een bezoekje kunnen brengen aan Vega (167 jaar reistijd) of Fomalhaut A (221 jaar reistijd). Laatstgenoemde ster zou een machtig interessante eindbestemming zijn: de ster bezit een exoplaneet, een stofschijf en wordt vergezeld door twee andere sterren, waarvan eentje ook een stofschijf bezit.
A new study of the water plume emanating from Saturn's moon Enceladus revealed a potentially habitable environment.

This week, scientists revealed a heat source and food supply that could nourish organisms living under the ice on Saturn's moon Enceladus; a "Star Trek" fan platitude was disproved by math; and three space fliers returned to Earth. Here are our picks for the best space stories of the week.
Enceladus has food for life
Saturn's icy moon Enceladus is looking more and more habitable. New results show that beneath the moon's icy crust, Enceladus likely has hot water vents, like those on Earth. In addition, the subsurface ocean contains molecules that are a common food source for bacteria on Earth. The finding could have major implications for the search for life beyond Earth.

Two refit bomber aircraft that have been repurposed for NASA's Airborne Science program will be put to use during the Aug. 21, 2017, total solar eclipse. A group of scientists will fly instruments aboard the high-altitude planes in order to get above Earth's atmosphere and study the outer layers of the sun that become visible when the moon blocks the sun's central disk. [Full Story: Refit Bomber Aircraft Will Help Scientists Study the Total Solar Eclipse]
Plumes on Europa?
Jupiter's moon Europa may be spraying plumes of water into space, according to new observations by the Hubble Space Telescope. For the second time, Hubble has detected what may be a water-vapor plume spewing skyward from the moon's icy surface. If the finding is confirmed, it could influence the design of NASA's Europa Clipper mission, which is set to launch in the 2020s. [Full Story: Giant Water Plume Detected Again onJupiter Moon Europa]

There's an adage about "Star Trek" episodes that says crewmembers in red shirts are more likely to die. That's not so, according to a mathematician who applied his skills to analyzing various aspects of the show, such as how the mating habits of Vulcans are similar to those of cicadas. In other Trek-related news this week, winners were announced for a contest to make a portable medical diagnostic tool like the tricorder from the "Star Trek" universe, and a line of "Star Trek"-themed fragrances was announced.

Could humans combat the effects of climate change by shooting aerosols into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight? A Harvard-run experiment will test the technology that might be necessary for the controversial approach. [Full Story: Harvard Researchers Are Preparing to Geoengineer the Atmosphere]
Jupiter's great cold spot
Looking back through 15 years of observations, scientists have identified a massive cold spot that forms in Jupiter's atmosphere adjacent to the planet's vibrant auroras. The cold spot disappears and reappears over time, which is partly why scientists haven't seen it before. [Full Story: Surprise! Jupiter Has a Great 'Cold' Spot, Too]
Space travelers return to Earth
One NASA astronaut and two Russian cosmonauts safely returned to Earth early Monday (April 10). The passengers flew home aboard a Russian Soyuz capsule and landed in Kazakhstan, after spending 173 days in space. Following the departure of NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough from the station, Peggy Whitson, the first female astronaut ever to command the station, took up the post of commander once again.

A newly discovered planet around a distant star may jump to the top of the list of places where scientists should go looking for alien life.
Thousands of exoplanets have been discovered orbiting stars other than the sun in the last 20 years. Many of those planets meet some of the basic requirements for hosting life as we know it — they're rocky like Earth (rather than gaseous, like Saturn or Jupiter) and they sit in the habitable zone of their parent star. LHS 1140b meets those initial requirements. [Read more about the fascination.]

Several mummies and more than 1,000 figurines have been discovered at an ancient cemetery located at Luxor in Egypt, archaeologists reported.
Researchers discovered a labyrinth of tunnels and chambers containing the remains of mummies and assorted human remains, as shown in photos released by the ministry. Additionally, a "collection of ushabti figurines carved in faience, terracotta and wood was also unearthed," in the tomb complex, the ministry said in the statement. [Read more about the mummies.]
Maneaters

Their names were "The Ghost" and "The Darkness," and 119 years ago, these two massive, maneless, man-eating lions hunted railway workers in the Tsavo region of Kenya. During a nine-month period in 1898, the lions killed at least 35 people and as many as 135, according to different accounts. And the question of why the lions developed a taste for human flesh remained a subject of much speculation.
To unravel the century-old mystery, the study authors examined evidence of the lions' behavior preserved in their teeth. Microscopic wear patterns can tell scientists about an animal's eating habits — particularly during the last weeks of life — and the Tsavo lions' teeth didn't show signs of the wear and tear associated with crunching big, heavy bones, the scientists wrote in the study.

After six in the afternoon, William Escobar was in the garage of his mother's house, when he noticed the presence of a planet shining in the sky, so he took his cell phone to capture the extraordinary scene with the camera .
"I'm fond of astronomy, and I wanted to take the photo of Venus that looked pretty nice," he said. But as he held up the cell phone pointing up at the sky, a reflection in the distance attracted his attention. "I know it was something, because with my eyes off the phone I saw something happen very fast," he warns, but I was still doubtful.
Shortly afterwards, as he reviewed the images, William found a response to his uneasiness, discovering surprisingly that the opaque flash, almost unnoticed, had been recorded on his mobile device, and that it was not a simple reflection, it had a defined shape.

Vreemde structuren ontdekt op de maan. Toont deze studie aan dat dit het werk van buitenaardsen is?
Vreemde structuren ontdekt op de maan. Toont deze studie aan dat dit het werk van buitenaardsen is?
Leden van de Society for Planetary SETI Research (SPSR) hebben in het Journal of Space Exploration een studie gepubliceerd over opmerkelijke objecten in een krater op de achterkant van de maan.
Deze objecten bevinden zich in de krater Paracelsus C en zijn mogelijk kunstmatig van aard, wat zou betekenen dat ze daar door buitenaardsen zijn geplaatst.
Er zijn al veel boeken geschreven over bouwwerken op de maan, denk aan Somebody Else is on the Moon (George Leonard) en We Discovered Alien Bases on the Moon (Fred Steckling).
Omvang
Het nieuwe onderzoek heeft betrekking op foto’s die vanuit Apollo 15 en de Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter zijn gemaakt van raadselachtige objecten in de krater.
Op het eerste gezicht lijkt het te gaan om ‘muren’ of ‘torens’ op het maanoppervlak.
De structuren zien er heel anders uit dan de rotsen die in de krater worden gevonden, aldus de onderzoekers.
Ze merken op dat het met behulp van computersoftware mogelijk moet zijn om de omvang van de objecten te schatten.
Interessante antwoorden
De onderzoekers vragen zich af of de objecten kunstmatig zijn. En zo ja, wanneer zijn ze gemaakt en door wie?
Ze wijzen erop dat een maanrover zeer interessante antwoorden zou kunnen geven op deze vragen.
“Wij zijn van mening dat dit gebied in Paracelsus C in de toekomst nader bestudeerd zou moeten worden vanuit de ruimte en met behulp van maanrovers,” concluderen ze.
Uitgegraven
Eén van de onderzoekers, Mark Carlotto, toont in onderstaande video enkele van de vreemde structuren in de krater.
De bodem rond de structuren is niet vlak, maar lijkt te zijn uitgegraven door een onbekend mechanisme, natuurlijk of kunstmatig.
TAKING IN THE SIGHTS? The UFO was spotted near one of the world's most famous landmarks
A beam of light can be seen shining above the Statue of Liberty in New York.
And close-ups of the image shows the light being emitted by a round-like object.
UFO SIGHTINGS DAILY
SPOTTED: Is this a UFO hovering over the Statue of Liberty?
The picture was taken on board a boat passing through the Hudson River last Wednesday afternoon.
The person who took it had not discovered the unusual object until looking back on their pictures later that day.
Posted on several UFO recording websites, one expert said: “If you had been an alien and needed to see a number of the American tradition, what would you need to see? The Statue of Liberty in fact.
UFO SIGHTINGS DAILY
SHINING LIGHT: It appears and object is emitting the flash of light
“Well, typically people assume equally to aliens in that side of curiosity and locations. I am form of amazed that one thing so massive might simply hover over New York and never even be intercepted by USAF jets.”
Scott Waring, of UFO Sightings Daily, added: “It simply goes to indicate how previous tech most army radars are immediately.”

UFO Rectangle Craft Seen Over The Boston Area Mountains, Photos, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Oct 16, 2016 Reported today
Location of sighting: Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Source: MUFON #83313 This UFO was seen over the Boston area back in October, but was reported today. It had a typical metallic color from what the eyewitness states and as you can see from the enlarged focused close up below, it is a rectangle shape. Remember, alien craft can be any size, shape and weight. You can make it out of 24K solid gold, because with the element 115 and the alien magnetic propulsion system...physics goes out the window, or should I say, across the sky. To learn more about such propulsion, just go to youtube and search, "Bob Lazar, Area S4, Interview." Scott C. Waring
Eyewitness states:
While driving north on Rte 93 heading towards Boston Massachusetts,just beyond the LNG gas tanks in Dorchester, I looked up at one of the skyscrapers And noticed a large square/rectangular object hovering off to the left of it Over Rte 93. It was approximately 9:30am, and traffic was moving slowly. I had witnessed something similar in 2013, in the same general area, and knew I had to try to get a picture of it this time. It appeared to be pewter colored and dull. It seemed to hover for a bit then slowly start to move towards the east. I eventually lost sight of it when I entered the tip O'Neal tunnel.
People Are Seeing U.F.O.s Everywhere, and This Book Proves

SYRACUSE — Why have sightings of unidentified flying objects around the nation more than tripled since 2001? Why is July the busiest month for U.F.O. sightings? Why did they spike in Texas in 2008, or in New Mexico in September 2015?
And how in the world, or out of it, has Manhattan racked up New York State’s second-highest tally of U.F.O. sightings in this century?
These questions and many others emerge from the first comprehensive statistical summary of so-called close encounters: 121,036 eyewitness accounts, organized county by county in each state and the District of Columbia, from 2001 to 2015.
It is the reference “U.F.O. researchers dreamed of having,” Gordon G. Spear, emeritus professor of physics and astronomy at Sonoma State University in California, writes in the foreword.
The book contains no narrative or anecdotal accounts, just 371 pages of charts and graphs that slice and dice the geography and timing of the incidents and the various shapes that witnesses reported: flying circles, spheres, triangles, discs, ovals, cigars.
Many of the sightings turn out to be explainable, the authors say, but a small percentage defy resolution.
The authors are Cheryl Costa, 65, a former military technician and aerospace analyst, and her wife, Linda Miller Costa, 62, a librarian at Le Moyne College and a former librarian at the National Academy of Sciences, NASA and the Environmental Protection Agency.
Working on PCs amid sewing tables in the upstairs parlor — the warmest room in their hundred-year-old house — the two spent weekends for the last 16 months extrapolating figures from sightings reports and laying out the graphics.
Cheryl Costa was writing New York Skies, a U.F.O. blog for The Syracuse New Times, when the Costas decided to expand their tallies of U.F.O. sightings nationwide. “We wanted to do our bit for disclosure,” she said. “It’s something the government should have been doing.”
The Costas realize some might find this a strange way to spend weekends. But both say they have spotted U.F.O.s themselves and want to detoxify the subject.
“We’re doing scientific research,” Cheryl Costa said. “What’s crazy is not being willing to look at research.”
She came to the collaboration roundabout, having served as a cable lineman in the Air Force in Vietnam, and afterward in the Navy’s submarine service, as a man before undergoing gender-reassignment surgery in the 1980s. Ordained as a Buddhist nun, she was running a theater group in Maryland when she met Linda. They wed in 2011.
U.F.O. trackers welcomed their publication.
“With this compendium, Cheryl and Linda Costa have reminded the public and the media the extraterrestrial phenomenon continues unabated,” said Stephen Bassett, founder and executive director of the Paradigm Research Group, which lobbies for disclosure of official U.F.O. records.

Rebutting a common perception that U.F.O. sightings are on the wane, the Costas’ book shows that sightings have risen in waves, to 11,868 nationwide in 2015 from 3,479 in 2001. Only a small fraction of sightings are actually reported to Mufon or Nuforc.
Their labor of love is about the numbers, just the numbers, and the Costas refrain from speculating on what exactly is happening. “We really don’t know,” Linda Costa said. “But all these people are seeing these things.”
The government officially quit the U.F.O. business in 1968, with the finding in the Condon report from the University of Colorado that there was nothing significant to investigate, although some 30 percent of the incidents were unexplained.
Science Times
We’ll bring you stories that capture the wonders of the human body, nature and the cosmos.
Mufon’s 500 volunteer investigators, however, continue to check out many of the sightings reported to the group. Roger Marsh, a Mufon spokesman, said that of the 270 cases his group investigated in Manhattan from 2002 through 2016, 44 eluded explanation and remained “unknown.”
One of the most intriguing occurred on the afternoon of Sept. 17, 2011, when a man on the roof terrace of the New Museum on the Bowery photographed a fast-moving diamond-shaped object with windows and flashing blue and red lights against the TriBeCa skyline.
According to Mufon, it resembled an unknown flying object photographed in Round Rock, Tex., two weeks earlier.
The Costas listed 426 sightings in New York County from 2001 to 2015, second in the state’s tallies only to Suffolk County, on the tip of Long Island, with 554. How so many sightings in the nation’s densest core and around its toniest beach resorts have escaped wider notoriety is just part of the mystery.
For the U.F.O. enthusiast, the pages of graphs and charts are a treasure trove of hard-to-find detail.
The District of Columbia, with 9,856 people per square mile, had the fewest sightings: 154. (A political snub from deep space?) Wyoming, with 5.8 people per square mile, had more than twice as many: 337.
Fireballs made up nearly 8 percent of the sightings in Indiana (230) and fewer than 5 percent in Colorado (157).
California, the most populous state, led the nation in U.F.O. reports (15,836, more than the next two states, Florida and Texas, combined). Los Angeles County alone had more sightings than 40 states, followed by Maricopa County, Ariz., which includes Phoenix.
Population fails to explain the figures conclusively, the Costas said. Washington State, with 6.7 million people according to the 2010 census, ranks No. 4 in sightings, ahead of Pennsylvania, with 12.7 million people, and New York State, with 19 million.
Rather, the Costas theorize, the figures may reflect good West Coast weather, which draws more people outside where they may spot U.F.O.s. Nationwide sightings peak in July, they found, and drop off between December and February.
Still, in Mississippi, U.F.O. reports spike in January and November; in New Mexico, in September.
The arduous breakdown by the nation’s more than 3,000 counties was notable for revealing clusters of sightings in remote regions, places where U.F.O.s are almost never mentioned. But every county in the United States appears to have seen at least one U.F.O.
In the end, the Costas noted, the spikes may have a lot to do with media coverage.
A UFO was spotted from a passenger jet and I think this happens a lot since UFOs love to investigate anything that moves, especially in the air. The seem to be attracted by both technology and deep powerful thinking which may be seen as psychic thought.

News states:
The footage was uploaded to Georgia’s YouTube channel, Kidskillz, and shows a small black object darting around near the tip of the wing. David, a factory worker from Merseyside, added: “It was strange because it kept changing direction and then bobbing and weaving around. Georgia was a bit sceptical and she laughs at me for saying it might be a UFO, but you never know. “I’m really interested to hear what people think it is.” There have been many reported sightings of ‘UFOs’ in recent years in the area - with Greater Manchester being dubbed one of the country’s hotspots. Only Merseyside has had more mysterious sightings in the last two years, according to police figures.

If you were an alien and wanted to see some of the American culture, what would you want to see? The Statue of Liberty of course. Well, sometimes humans think similarly to aliens in that aspect of curiosity and places. I'm kind of amazed that something so large could easily hover over New York and not even be intercepted by USAF jets. It just goes to show how old tech most military radars are today.

Eyewitness states:
1.Hudson river, passing by to see the statue of liberty. 2.Later on looking at the picture. Notices a bright light with object on top. 3.Thought it could definitely be a UFO. 4.I can't describe the object and how it behaved because I notice on the picture. 5.I felt like this is a good opportunity to see I actually snapped a UFO. A real one. 6.I never had sight of it, didn't notice until reviewing my pictures.

Elon Musk: “If there are super intelligent aliens, they’re probably already observing us.”
“Yes there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered. . . . We are not alone in the universe, they have been coming here for a long time. . . . I happen to be privileged enough to be in on the fact that we have been visited on this planet, and the UFO phenomenon is real.”
– Doctor Edgar Mitchell, 6th man to walk on the moon
As recent as a decade ago, avid UFO and extraterrestrial researchers were unable to speak openly about their research without being ridiculed. Today, the topic has gained considerable credibility and popularity, so much so that not only are high ranking figures from military, political, and academic spheres speaking out, but also popular global figures as well, and particularly at prestigious conferences around the world. Previously classified documents that have been released from dozens of governments around the world have also allowed this topic to enter the respected public domain.
The 2011 Global Competitiveness Forum, at which a number of prominent scientists attended, featured a lecture by Jacques Vallee, notable for co-developing the first computerized mapping of Mars for NASA, and for his work at SRI International on the network information centre for ARPANET, on the UFO/extraterrestrial phenomenon.
Here’s another talk by nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman at the same conference. The main theme of that conference was contact with intelligent extraterrestrials, and learning from outer space.
As far as documents, whistleblowers, and other ‘proofs’ that have emerged, we’ve covered many in great detail in a number of articles that we’ve published. You can access those articles by visiting the exopolitics section of the collective evolution website here.
The latest major figure to comment on extraterrestrials was Elon Musk, founder, CEO, and CTO of SpaceX and co-founder, CEO, and product architect of Tesla, Inc. Aside from a phenomenal businessman, Tesla is an activist who uses his wealth and resources to create a better Earth.
He touched on extraterrestrials at the World Government Summit, a global platform dedicated to shaping the future of government worldwide. Each year, the Summit sets the agenda for the next generation of governments with a focus on how they can harness innovation and technology to solve universal challenges facing humanity.
Here’s an excerpt from that speech, which you can view here:
When I was a kid I was wondering, kind of, what’s the meaning of life, like, why are we here, what’s it all about? I came to the conclusion that what really matters is trying to understand the right questions to ask, and, the more that we can increase the scope and scale of human consciousness, the better we are able to ask these questions. . . .
Some of those things are in the long term, having long term sustainable transport and sustainable energy generation, and to be a space-bearing civilization, and for humanity to be out there among the stars, and be a multi-planetary species. I think being a multi-planet species and being out there among the stars is important for the long term survival of humanity. . . . It creates a sense of adventure, and it makes people excited about the future.
Below is a snippet taken from the full interview. In it, he states that if there are super intelligent extraterrestrials somewhere out there, which is the generally agreed upon scientific hypothesis, “they’re probably already observing us, that would seem quite likely, and we’re just not smart enough to realize it.”
“Not Smart Enough To Realize It”
“Intelligent beings from other star systems have been and are visiting our planet Earth. They are variously referred to as Visitors, Others, Star People, ETs, etc. . . . They are visiting Earth NOW; this is not a matter of conjecture or wistful thinking.”
– Theodor C. Loder III, Phd, Professor Emeritus of Earth Sciences, University of New Hampshire (source)
I think Musk is right — they are probably already watching us, we just don’t realize it yet. But things are changing. Numerous efforts are being made to educate the public on this subject, from the most credible sources available. Scientific publications, video footage, and photos have already been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals for a number of years. (source)
Below is a powerful statement made by former NASA astronaut and Princeton physics professor Dr. Brian O’Leary, who says that there is “abundant evidence that we are being contacted, and that intelligent civilizations have been visiting for a very long time.”
Again, if you want to sift through some of this evidence, we’ve presented it in hundreds of articles you can view in chronological order in the exopolitics section of the collective evolution websitehere.
Why the Masses Haven’t Realized It — Or Have They?
“Behind the scenes, high ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense.”
– Former head of CIA Roscoe Hillenkoetter, 1960 (source)
Movies and television shows bombard us constantly with stories of extraterrestrial invasions, and despite all of the evidence available, the fact that we are being and have been visited by extraterrestrials can be a scary thought, particularly given the way extraterrestrials are typically portrayed.
With a massive disinformation campaign that has focused on covering up these facts for decades, along with the mass ridicule of this subject for anyone who took it seriously in the past, it quickly escaped the minds of the masses and many people considered the notion of ongoing intelligent contact with our planet from extraterrestrials completely preposterous.
A great quote from Carl Sagan comes to mind:
One the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re not longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.
Current public perception of UFOs and extraterrestrials reveals how easily our minds can be influenced, and how quickly our thoughts about a subject can be given to us, even subconsciously. It begs the question, how many other beliefs do we share that have been, in a sense, ‘programmed’ into us by powerful groups of people with an agenda?
“There are objects in our atmosphere which are technically miles in advance of anything we can deploy, that we have no means of stopping them coming here … [and] that there is a serious possibility that we are being visited and have been visited for many years by people from outer space, from other civilizations. That it behooves us, in case some of these people in the future or now should turn hostile, to find out who they are, where they come from, and what they want. This should be the subject of rigorous scientific investigation and not the subject of ‘rubishing’ by tabloid newspapers.”
– Lord Admiral Hill-Norton, Former Chief of Defence Staff, 5 Star Admiral of the Royal Navy, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee (source)
All this being said, the fact that UFOs/extraterrestrials is one of the most searched subjects on the web suggests that people are at least curious to learn the truth.
What Extraterrestrial Contact Is Really About
Humanity is waking up to the fact that this type of thing has been happening for quite some time, and the realization comes at a time when humanity is experiencing a massive shift in consciousness. By ‘shift in consciousness,’ I mean that we are letting go of long-held beliefs that have been rendered obsolete by new evidence. That being said, no matter how much evidence presents itself, it’s always going to be difficult to let go of belief systems, but minds are indeed opening. It was great to see Musk mention the topic of consciousness in his talk as well as mention that it’s important to increase the scope and scale of human consciousness, and part of increasing that scope, as Musk identifies, is asking the right questions. Some of these questions deal with pulling back the veil that’s blinded the masses for decades. It’s not that we aren’t smart enough, but rather that we have been lied to andmisled for years.
“An extraterrestrial influence is investigating our planet. Something is monitoring the planet and they are monitoring it very cautiously.”
– Former Sen. Mike Gravel (D-Alaska), 2008 presidential candidate
Acknowledging the fact that we are being visited opens up so many questions in all fields, from religion, to history, to new theories of scientific knowledge and many more, as I am sure you can imagine. If they have been around, and have been watching us, why has there not been major contact? There is sufficient evidence showing that contact has indeed occurred on an individual level, with perhaps millions of people, but a ‘one time’ mass disclosure event has yet to take place.
Perhaps Musk is not sharing knowledge that he’s been privy too? Given the circles that he finds himself in, it would not be surprising. Furthermore, when in the business of new energy generation, the topic of UFOs is most likely to come up, because one of the main questions is, how are they getting here? What propulsion systems do they use? UFOs that are tracked on military radar and visually confirmed by pilots have performed maneuvers that completely defy our known laws of physics, and make maneuvers no known aircraft on Earth can.
“There is another way, whether it’s wormholes or warping space, there’s got to be a way to generate energy so that you can pull it out of the vacuum, and the fact that they’re here shows us that they found a way.” (source)
The statement above comes from Dr. Jack Kasher, Ph.D, Professor Emeritus of Physics at the University of Nebraska. He is one out of multiple physicists (and scientists in general) to examine the truly remarkable NASA STS-48 footage. You can see that footage and read more about it here.
I’ve been studying the UFO/extraterrestrial phenomenon for a very long time, and one common theme that constantly comes up is a shift in consciousness, a change in the way we see and care for our planet, and a deeper understanding about life and the true nature of reality.
Is it a coincidence that the ET/UFO topic continues to gain attention as we turn our focus toward global cooperation? A desire for peace? A desire for a clean, green planet clear of corporate, government, and financial interest?
Can we work together, can we solve these problems in order to become the spacefaring race that Musk so passionately speaks of? It seems other civilizations have done so, civilizations that have probably already tackled and overcome these same problems we now face.
“The Earth is about four and a half billion years go, that’s 45 hundred million years old. What if theres another planet that’s almost exactly like us, almost exactly 45 hundred and 1 million years old. They’re a million years ahead of us, and on a galactic scale they’re almost our twin brothers. We’ll have solved all these problems.”
That being said, spirituality doesn’t really have the same negative connotations that religion has, lacking its long history of violence, subjugation, and corruption. Spirituality isn’t concerned with converting people to specific beliefs and behaviours. It has roots in the most ancient of history, and also correlations with a lot of science that’s emerging today, mainly in the areas of quantum physics and neuroscience, which are now revealing the vast interconnectedness of all things. I think it would be wise to assume that this interconnectedness is not only planetary, but interplanetary and beyond.
A big part of the extraterrestrial question coincides with this type of ‘spirituality.’ While there will always be people who are quick to label aliens as angels or demons, perhaps the best approach is, as the Dalai Lama emphasized a few years ago, to view ‘them’ as ‘us,’ and refuse the urge to label and judge them.
The spiritual aspect of this topic is also emphasized in indigenous lore from all over the world.
“My people tell of Star People who came to us many generations ago. The Star people brought spiritual teachings and stories and maps of the cosmos and they offered these freely. They were kind, loving and set a great example. When they left us, my people say there was a loneliness like no other.”
– Richard Wagamese, one of Canada’s foremost authors and storytellers from the Wabaseemoong First Nation in Northwestern Ontario (source)
You can read more about that in an article I recently published linked below:
If they are here, and have been for a while, I guess we can rule out any type of ‘alien’ invasion, but a staged alien invasion could be another story…
At the end of the day, all of the research I and many have others have done suggests that something special is happening, and there are many out there watching us, and perhaps assisting us in ways we do not know, to see if we can succeed in making the human experience beneficial for all life on the planet. Part of that is waking up to all of the lies and deceit that plagues this planet, presenting solutions to our problems, and then implementing those solutions. Many barriers may stand in the way of this progress, but we can’t break them down until they are at least identified. This is one aspect of the massive shift in consciousness that’s occurring right now, and how it may tie to the supposed “super intelligent aliens” that may not only be visiting us right now, but walking among us.
Perhaps extraterrestrial contact can help us find out who we are and where we come from. There is a bigger picture here, and it requires us to let go of all of our judgements and destructive ways of life, and embrace the interconnectedness of all that is.
What do you think? I’ll end this article with a great video that can give us all something to think about. There is ample reason to believe that these changes spoken below are directly correlated with some of the extraterrestrial groups currently visiting our planet. Obviously Rainn mentions nothing of that topic, but that’s not why I’m sharing this video.
Full ET disclosure knocks opens pandora’s box, and makes it’s way into all aspects of our lives, if allowed to open…One thing is for certain, “the truth is going to come out sooner our later.” – Colonel Ross Dedrickson taken from this interview.

Off-grid UFO home is completely powered by wind, water and sun
Off-grid UFO home is completely powered by wind, water and sun
UFOs could soon be spotted floating on the ocean as cool sustainable homes. Italian boating company Jet Capsule designed what may be the most stylish way to live off the grid: an Unidentified Floating Object powered by renewable energy that provides a chance for people to travel and live on the sea.
‘UFOs’ surround the jet capsule, the machine’s predecessor
Founders Pierpaolo Lazzarini and Luca Solla said they designed the UFO home for those who desire to “live in a floating house and move slowly around the world.” With 322 square feet of space, the flying saucer-shaped home includes a main floor kitchen and living area, and lower level bathroom and bedroom. Large windows will offer stellar panoramic views – underwater.
Solar, wind, and water power propel the capsule so it functions entirely off the grid. A hydrojet on the bottom of the UFO draws power from rooftop solar panels to transport the home, while wind and water turbines provide additional power. A water generator provides drinking water via collected rain and even sea water. There’s also a vegetable garden on the rings surrounding the UFO, as well as a deck.
Maximum speed for the UFO is only four miles per hour, so the houseboat won’t win any races. At the same time, there’s little to fear from stormy weather or choppy waves; Jet Capsule designed the home with an elastic anchor system to ensure it remains stable in rough weather.
Not only is the home super sustainable, but it will likely be fairly affordable as well. The company is currently looking for investors so they can build their first prototype, and after that they hope to bring the UFOs to market with a price tag of only $200,000 – far less than your average houseboat.

Hong Kong UFO Videotaped On Consecutive Nights With Unexpected Answers [VIDEO]
Hong Kong UFO Videotaped On Consecutive Nights With Unexpected Answers [VIDEO]
New UFO videos are showing up on YouTube daily, with descriptions that make them seem truly out of this world — but are they really?
Take the case of what appeared to be a diamond-shaped object that allegedly hovered over Hong Kong on the nights of Oct. 5 and 6.
Ex-cable TV reporter, Wu Xiaodong Yi, claims to have captured a UFO over Hong Kong on Oct. 5, but his cell phone quality was so low that he waited until the next night with a better video camera, hoping the object would come back, according to a Chinese sales company, ePrice.com.hk.
As luck would have it, the UFO did show up again the following evening.
Here’s the Hong Kong UFO, as posted by Smileboyhk:
Open Minds.tv uncovered the translated ePrice coverage of this “event,” noting how the diamond-shape appearance of the UFO may have been caused by an effect of the camera aperture as it moved in and out of focus.
Huffington Post showed the video to photo and video analyst Marc Dantonio.
“The first thing I noticed was the changing colors and flickering of the object,” Dantonio told HuffPost in an email.
“The fact that it was there the next night around the same time strongly indicates that this was a likely mistaken astronomical object. I consulted software, and when I looked at Hong Kong, noted that my suspicions were true — Jupiter was visible over Hong Kong that night. Jupiter is often mistaken for a UFO.”
Dantonio suggests why the so-called UFO looks like a diamond in the sky.
“The object is clearly vastly out of focus and the shape is likely due to the internal camera geometry. As far as the horizontal line running through the object, this usually occurs because there is an object, possibly a hair, on the camera aperture. When zoomed in, the object of interest is dispersed and defocused into a large amorphous diamond shape.”
On the same night in question, half a world away, two UFOs were reportedly videotaped over San Antonio, Texas, about 30 minutes apart by someone identified as SAUFOTX, according to Latest UFO Sightings.
SAUFOTX — a possible acronym for San Antonio UFO Texas — described the object as a UFO-Orb.
Here’s one of the San Antonio videos:
“As I was skywatching…I notice this orb high in altitude that seemed to be hovering,” according to SAUFOTX. “I quickly began to film, when zooming in, you can clearly see [the] UFO ORB, traveling slowly overhead…emitting some kind of energy field around it. Clearly an unidentified flying object. In my opinion, this glowing object was clearly no weather balloon, aircraft or satellite.”
Dantonio disagrees.
“The object is not moving at any terrific speeds and not demonstrating any specific movement that calls it out as anything other than a high flying balloon.
“The video was filled with music and titles, and an attempt was made to make this look impressive, but really, this was poorly shot, bad footage. Based on the amount of time that the video shooter had to capture this, it was certainly there for a long time. I can tell you that balloons seem to crawl across the sky and are quite bright and disarming.”
It should also be pointed out that not every UFO video posted on YouTube should be thought of as a hoax.
When it comes to UFOs, seeing is not always believing — it’s generally something that can be easily explained.
As in the case of the Hong Kong UFO, just because you might have a strong zoom on your camera, when you try zooming in too close, the end result may be too good to be true.
Meet Armenia’s Stonehenge: Predating the Pyramids of Egypt by three thousand years
Meet Armenia’s Stonehenge: Predating the Pyramids of Egypt by three thousand years

Not only does the enigmatic ‘Armenian Stonehenge’ predate the pyramids and its more famous counterpart in England by thousands of years, some of the rocks on the site depict curious beings with elongated heads and almond shaped eyes.
Located in modern-day Armenia, in Karahunj also known as Zorats Karer or Armenia’s Stonehenge, we find a set of mysterious depictions which have caused controversial reactions ever since their discovery.
Carahunge or Karahunj is an ancient site believed to predate England’s Stonehenge by at least 3,500 years and the Pyramids of ancient Egypt by staggering 3,000 years. This ancient complex occupies over 7 hectares and offers its visitors a number of strange carvings created by early civilizations that inhabited the region thousands of years ago.
Many of its visitors agree that this impressive ancient site is very similar to Stonehenge. The ancient site’s main similarity lies in the curious circular patterns of the stones. Just like Armenia’s counterpart in England; the true purpose remains a profound mystery for archaeologists who are unable to solve the mystery of the stones.
Theories trying to explain what this ancient site was thousands of years ago are abundant, but the most accepted ones are that his ancient complex was either an astronomical or ceremonial complex. However, researchers cannot possibly know due to a lack of information and historic records.
Armenia’s ‘ Stonehenge’ is much older than England’s version and consists of similar roughly hewn boulders positioned in two elliptical overlapping circles.
Interestingly, many of the boulders found at Karahunj have strange holes carved through them, and some researchers have even drawn similarities to the megalithic boulders discovered in ancient Egypt and their curious holes.
Many of the Armenian boulders have holes ‘drilled’ through their tops which led researchers to believe that they were used thousands of ears ago for astronomical observations.
However, if we look how the name Karahunj or Carahunge is interpreted we will understand that it derives from two Armenian words: car (or kar) which translated means stone and hunge or hoonch which means sound. Therefore, we understand that the name of the ancient site is translated to ‘Speaking Stones’. This is related to the fact that the stones tend to ‘whistle’ on windy days due to the number of holes ‘drilled’ under different angles in prehistoric times.
The site was officially named as the Karahunj (Carahunge) Observatory, by Parliamentary decree in 2004.
Numerous expeditions have studied this ancient site. The most extensive research was carried out by Paris Herouni and by Elma Parsamyan of the Biurakan Observatory. Herouni concluded that this ancient site was: “a temple with a large and developed observatory, and also a university.”
Herouni proposed a number of interesting hypotheses and stated that some of the stones at the site mimic the biggest star of the constellation of Cygnus –Deneb.
Interestingly, some have even drawn similarities between the Karahunj (Carahunge) Observatory and Gobekli Tepe in modern Turkey. V. Vahradyan suggests that Gobekli Tepe shows the map of the night sky and the constellation of Cygnus, which in the Karahunj Observatory represents the same constellation, mirroring the site.
But as if the age of the ancient observatory, its purpose and origin weren’t mysterious enough there are more incredible details which make this ancient site even more interesting. Among the numerous boulders found on the site, there are some with curious carvings on their surface. Some of the humanoid beings represented at some of the stones are eerily similar to ‘modern-day’ representations of Grey Aliens. Some of the humanoid figures carved at Karahunj have elongated heads, and almond shaped eyes and are depicted holding what appears to be some sort of artifact with wheels.
Here are some images of this incredible ancient site:
