Popular UFO Sightings Daily website to go dormant

By Craig Hlavaty, Chron.com

The man behind one of the most popular UFO sightings websites has decided to call it quits after seven years of exposing the strangest images that have been found. 

Site owner Scott C. Waring said in a farewell post on UFO Sightings Dailythat he began the site in 2010 to give an outlet for people who had allegedly seen UFOs but didn't have an outlet to show off their images.

According to Waring, the site had moved away from education and enlightenment and was heading towards entertainment. 

"This is serious stuff that has depths that even I can't fathom," he wrote on the site late last week. "It deserves serious thought and research, not contempt and ridicule." 

Over the years the site has been the go-to for photos of strange images on Mars and the Moon, plus UFO sightings from all over world, even here in Houston.

FINDING ALIEN MEGASTRUCTURES AROUND NEARBY PULSARS

  

by Matt Williams

During the 1960s, Freeman Dyson and Nikolai Kardashev captured the imaginations of people everywhere by making some radical proposals. Whereas Dyson proposed that intelligent species could eventually create megastructures to harness the energy of their stars, Kardashev offered a three-tiered classification system for intelligent species based on their ability to harness the energy of their planet, solar system and galaxy, respectively.

With missions that are now capable of locating extra-solar planets (i.e. the Kepler Space Observatory) scientists have been on the lookout for signs of possible alien megastructures. Unfortunately, aside from some very arguable results, no concrete evidence has yet come to light. Lucky for us, in a study from the Free University of Tbilisi, Professor Zaza Osmanov offers some new insight on why megastructures may have eluded us so far.

While fascinating, the idea of alien megastructures invariably suffers from the same problem as all other attempts to find signs of intelligent life in our Universe. Basically, if intelligent life exists, why have we consistently failed to find any evidence of it? This conundrum, which was summed up by Enrico Fermi in the 1950s (thereafter known as the Fermi Paradox), has hung like a shadow over all our efforts.

For example, in the summer of 2015, a team of astronomers announced that they found what might be an indication of an alien megastructure around Tabby’s Star (KIC 8462852). However, they were quick to point out that any number of possibilities could explain the strange dimming pattern coming from the star, and subsequent studies offered even more plausible explanations – such as the star having consumed a planet at some point in its past.

To this, Osmanov has argued that the problem is that we are looking in the wrong places. Last year, he wrote a research paper in which he ventured that an alien super civilization – i.e. one that was consistent with a Level II Kardashev civilization – would likely use ring-like megastructures to harness the power of their stars. This is in contrast to the traditional concept of a “Dyson’s Sphere”, which would consist of a spherical shell.

Furthermore, he argued that these Dyson Rings would likely be built around pulsars rather than stars, and offered estimates on their dimensions which were dependent on the rotational speed of the pulsar. According to Osmanov’s latest study, titled “Are the Dyson rings around pulsars detectable?“, Osmanov extends the problem of spotting alien megastructures to the observational realm.

Specifically, he addressed how alien megastructures could be spotted by identifying their infrared energy signatures, and at what kinds of distances. By examining how such structures would vary in terms of the amount of IR radiation they would emit, he believes that they could be spotted within our local Universe using existing instruments.

Once again, it comes down to the diameter of the structures, which would in turn depend on the type of pulsar they orbit. As he states in the paper:

“A couple of years earlier before publishing the paper of Kardashev, the prominent physicist Freeman Dyson has suggested that if such superadvanced (in the terminology of Kardashev, Level-II) extraterrestrials exist, for increasing efficiency of energy consumption they can construct a thin spherical shell with radius ?1AU surrounding a host star (Dyson 1960).It has been argued that for such distances the sphere will be in the so-called habitable zone (HZ) and therefore the sphere will have the temperature of the order of (200 – 300 K), making this object visible in the infrared spectrum.”

Extending this to pulsars, Osmanov estimates that the habitable zone around a relatively slowly-rotating pulsar (with a period of about half a second) would be on the order of 0.1 AU. According to his calculations, a ring-like megastructure that orbited a pulsar at this distance would emit temperatures on the order of 390 K (116.85 °C; 242.33 °F), which means that the megastructure would be visible in the IR band.

From this, Osmanov concludes that modern IR telescopes – such as the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) and the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) – would have the necessary capacity to monitor nearby pulsars for signs of alien megastructures. He further concludes that for this purpose, these telescopes would have an effective range of up to 200 parsecs (~652 light years).

Ever since it was first announced in 2015, there has been speculation as to what could account for the dimming of KIC 8462852.

In addition, he goes on to state that within this volume of space, multiple candidates could be found and examined using these same existing instruments:

“We have considered the sensitivity of VLTI and by taking into account its higher possible angular resolution, 0.001 mas, it has been shown that the maximum distance ~0.2 kpc leads to the IR spectral density of the order of 7.4 mJy, which in turn, can be detected by the VLTI. We have argued that by monitoring the nearby zone of the Solar System approximately 64 pulsars are expected to be located inside it.”

Beyond these distances, up to the kiloparsec range (about 3260 light years), the angular resolution of these telescopes would not be enough to detect the structure of any rings. As such, finding megastructures at this distance would require telescopes that can conduct surveys in the UV band – which corresponds to the surface temperatures of neutron stars (7000 K). However, this would have to wait upon the development of more sensitive instruments.

“As we see, the search of infrared rings is quite promising for distances up to -0.2 kpc, where one will be able to monitor potentially 64 ± 21 pulsars by using the IR instruments,” he concluded. “Observation of distant pulsars (up to -1kpc), although will significantly increase the total number of potential objects – to 1600 ± 530, but at this moment the UV instruments cannot provide such a level of sensitivity.”

There are Dyson rings and spheres and this, an illustration of a Dyson swarm. Could this or a variation of it be what we’re detecting around KIC? Not likely, but a fun thought experiment.

So while the range would be limited, the opportunities for testing this hypothesis would not. All told, between 43 and 85 candidates exist within the observable volume of space, according to Osmanov’s estimates. And with existing IR telescopes – and next-generation telescopes like the James Webb Space Telescopes – up to the task, some surveys could be conducted that would yield valuable information either way.

The concept of alien megastructures remains a controversial one, and for good reason. For one, the potential evidence for such structures – i.e. the periodic dimming of a star – can easily be explained by other means. Second, there is an undeniable degree of wishful thinking when it comes to the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence, which means that any findings could be subject to bias.

Nevertheless, the search for intelligent life remains a very fascinating field of study, and a necessary one at that. Not only would finding other examples of life in our Universe put to rest one of the most burning existential questions of all time – are we alone? – it would also allow us to learn a great deal about what other forms life could take. Is all life carbon based, are there other possibilities, etc? We would like to know!

In the end, the Fermi Paradox will only be resolved when we find definitive evidence that there is intelligent life out there other than our own. In the meantime, we can expect that we will keep searching until we find something. And anything that make this easier by telling us where we should (and what specifically to look for) is sure to help.

'Drones Are The New UFOs': AMA

By Russ Niles

As might be expected, pilots are reporting seeing a lot more drones these days but the lather that sightings seem to create might be overblown, according to an analysis by the Academy of Model Aeronautics. AMA looked closely at each of the 1,270 sightings reported by pilots of manned aircraft in data released by the FAA in February that showed that 44 of those encounters could be described as close calls. That’s about 3.4 percent and the same as the results of similar analyses done by AMA in 2015 and 2016. “Back in the 70s and 80s, everything pilots saw was a UFO. Now everything they see is a drone,” AMA President Richard Hanson told Popular Science. “Drones are the new UFOs.”

Hanson told PopSci it’s possible pilots have now lumped everything they see in the air, from dry cleaning bags to kites and weather balloons, as drones. They’re also reporting perfectly legal drone operations. Some of the reports included sightings of drones being flown at well below the 400-foot ceiling. Despite all the hype, the notes that come with new drones about rules and drone registration and numerous programs promoting safe operation of the aircraft, Hanson told PopSci he thinks there’s more education to be done. “The vast number of sightings that are people operating inappropriately is because they just don’t know any better, they didn’t know they weren’t supposed to do what they were doing,” he said. “There are a few individuals who are irresponsible but you find that in any community of people.”

An Ultra-Rare “Impossible” Planet Could Revolutionize Our Understanding of Space

 

NASA

IN BRIEF

Observations of the exoplanet HAT-P-26b have expanded our knowledge of how universes are formed. New satellites set to launch in October will give us even more information

WHAT ASTRONOMERS FOUND ON HAT-P-26B

Scientists at the University of Exeter have discovered peculiar aspects of the Neptune-sized exoplanet HAT-P-26b using NASA’s Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes. Their findings contribute to our knowledge of the diversity of planets as well as how they are formed.

As the planet — which is around 437 light-years from earth — passed in front of its sun, allowing the telescopes to measure it, scientists discovered an atmosphere rich in helium, hydrogen, and water vapor. Hannah Wakeford, co-leader of the new study and postdoctoral researcher at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), said that this atmosphere would result in “a very alien sky […]  a kind of scattery, washed-out, gray sky.”

The planet is also of interest because of its formation. In Earth’s Solar System, metallicity (astronomy terminology for anything heavier than helium) tends to decrease as mass increases, but HAT-P-26b defies this pattern. While it is about the size of Neptune, its metallicity is more inline with Jupiter.

So, why does this matter?

David Sing, a professor at the University of Exeter said, “this new discovery about its atmosphere feels like a big breakthrough in our pursuit to learn more about how solar systems are formed, and how it compares to our own” because “This exciting new discovery shows that there is a lot more diversity in the atmospheres of these exoplanets than we have previously thought.”  And, while thousands of exoplanets have been discovered, we know relatively little about the compositions of their atmospheres.

This is the first in what promises to be a series of breakthroughs that will emerge as new telescopes launch this upcoming October. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will allow us to explore further with a mirror that has a diameter of  6.5 meters in comparison to the Hubble-Telescope’s 2.4 meter. In addition to this, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will provide “detailed characterizations of planets and their atmospheres”and is expected to survey more than 200,000 planets during its 2 year mission.

People are seeing UFOs everywhere

Meteorologist Brooks Garner , KHOU

PHOTO submitted by Anonymous to MUFON

HOUSTON - When people see something odd in the sky, we in TV, often hear about it first. But many times what an observer thinks is a UFO, is actually be something else. In this blog I offer a cheat sheet based on my experiences in meteorology, of 11 things to consider before making a report and also some fun facts about our universe that could ... validate ... the existence of UFOs. You decide!

Whether a person calls their local TV station, the police or a friend, there's nothing better than a little acknowledgment of a weird experience! There's also MUFON, the Mutual UFO Network, a venerable, science-based organization that's been debunking UFO sightings since the late 60s. While they can explain most experiences as of Earth-origin, many sightings remain unexplained -- and that's where it gets interesting.

Culture has taught us to think, "crazy person!" when the subject of 'unidentified aerial phenomena' or 'flying objects' is breached. Sure there are plenty of hoaxes and confused people out there, but with the occasional story like, "The Phoenix Lights", as recently told from our sister station in Arizona, you'll see why many highly respected people raise an eyebrow.

So are we alone? Your guess is as good as mine, but cosmologists (who study the universe as a whole), astronomers (who can speak of features in the universe), astronomical biologists (people who study the potential for extraterrestrial life), nuclear and theoretical physicists (who use their knowledge of time, space and multi-verse dimensions to speculate) and some philosophers, will tell you the same thing: out of the 2 trillion galaxies in our universe, we are not alone.

The scale of our existence is immense. At light speed it would take 100 millennia just to cross our own galaxy -- and there are 2 trillion of these things. (That's 2,000-million!) Our calendar only goes back 2 millennia. That means over the span of the last 2,017 years, at light speed, we'd have only traveled about 2% across the Milky Way. Physicists today believe travel that fast is impossible due to various atomic forces which hold matter -- you and me -- physically together, so in reality, we'd have traveled far less than that. Considering the scale, to say we are the only example of life in this realm is probably an opinion born from not considering this bigger picture. (Some would more curtly say it's downright arrogant to think we're alone.) 

But, even if life does exist, "out there", have they visited Earth? Because space is so expansive, many life forms would likely not remain alive long enough to exit their own galaxy, much less visit ours. Of course, intelligent life may exist within our own Milky Way, but even a relatively, "close" planetary system outside of our own could still take hundreds or thousands of years to get to at light speed.

Enter the world of theoretical physics who speculate that special propulsion systems could help cross those distances -- systems which may not simply travel from point A to point B, but instead, "skip" between the two places instantaneously, as if to cross a dimensional plain and cheat the physical limits of time and space. We are only just now beginning to understand quantum physics, which could hold the key. Considering just 120 years ago, the only way down the road was on horse and buggy, and today we can rocket off to Mars, imagine the technological achievements of species 100 years from now, or 1,000! Some say ET's may have doubled even that number in their technological advancement, easily achieving interstellar travel. Cool.

So let's say for a minute that they're real -- and they're here. It's important to know the difference between a Earth object and ... well ... something else. Here's 11 things to look out for.

1.  Airplanes with their landing lights on, approaching a nearby airport and/or lining up to the runway, doing a series of maneuvers are commonly mistaken for, "orbs" (alien craft believed to be energy-based, which can through dimensions.) 
   
2. Airplanes at a distance during takeoff or landing, conducting broad turns can glint sunlight off the top of their wings and to the ground-based observer it can look like a short or long-duration sun glint.
3. Airplanes conducting military activity -- flying in formation at high altitude, etc.
4. Airplanes of military origin we're not accustomed to seeing, like the B-2 Stealth Bomber, which could easy be confused for a, "black triangle." (That's a genre of UFO occurring time and time again in various UFO sightings, although many are as a big as a football field and fly low, slow and silently, ruling out military activity.)
5. Airplanes creating exhaust trails, especially at twilight and dusk.
   
6. Bird ... or birds. You'd laugh at how many videos of birds I've seen, when the user screen-grabs a single frame, then zooms in, contorting the pixels and making it look like something entirely different.
7. Drones. As quadcopters, have gained in popularity, many times they look like UFO -- especially if illuminated at night. These things can flash, spin, strobe, etc. From a distance, it might be tough to tell.
8. Clouds. Many times in Texas after a big thunderstorm, strange clouds can form which resemble UFOs. Essentially high speed winds can shape low-level clouds into perfect tear-drops, disks and circles, resembling what we have been groomed culturally, to be an alien space craft.
9. Chinese lanterns. Many celebrations these days feature the release of light-weight paper lanterns, powered by a candle. They ascend slowly and often in large quantities -- and from afar can resemble a swarm of flickering ... UFOs. 
10. Satellites. There are 2,271 human-launched satellites orbiting our planet as of today. Many times on a clear night, it's possible to see a half dozen pass by in just 30 minutes. While these objects are in space, an untrained eye may not realize the white, star-like appearance and fast movement across the sky (at an apparent rate about the same as a jet at cruising altitude) is not a UFO, but instead a man-made space craft.
11. Lens flare. Often when a photo is taken with a bright object in its sights, whether it's the sun, the moon or flood lights at night, lens flare can often resemble an, "illuminated disk." Rest assured, it's only light refracting around the lens and/or it's UV filter, if it's an SLR cam.
    

Typically sighting experiences happen too fast for an observer to reach for a good means to record it. Usually we only have our cell phones -- and that's a vast improvement from where we were just a decade ago when it was a luxury item to have a camera on your phone. But cell phone cams pose a problem because their wide angle lenses make for terrible UFO photography. In fact, out of the 80,000 or so cataloged UFO sightings taken by MUFON since 1969, there is not one piece of photographic evidence that absolutely proves their existence, much less from any mobile device. There's countless testimony and fuzzy, horribly unclear photos and shaky video. There's tons of computer renderings recreating what an experiencer saw, and then there's the outright fakes. There are claims (by very notable people) that, "the Government" took their solid evidence away (which I can't confirm or deny!) -- but there is zero scientifically admissible, undeniable evidence in existence today that the mainstream can hold in their hand and declare as, "reality." Perhaps the reason is because what most see fall within those 11 items I mentioned above, or perhaps we've all been groomed to think of anything related to ET's as taboo, and even if it was placed in our lap we'd assume it was fake.

If you can produce tangible evidence, you'll not only win the Nobel Prize, but probably unite humanity. In the mean time, hopefully my list can help you determine what you really saw!

Keep those reports coming! If you see anything, I'm all ears. I want to know just like you!

'Alien' Horror: 9 Terrifying Extraterrestrials from the 'Alien' Movies

Credit: Twentieth Century Fox

INTRO : Extraterrestrial Terror of 'Alien'

Since the first slimy Xenomorph burst from the chest of Officer Kane in the 1979 original "Alien" movie, several other versions of the extraterrestrial monster have terrorized space travelers in the nearly 40-year-old sci-fi saga. From chestbursters to facehuggers, here are the creepiest creatures from the "Alien" movies. [The Best Scary Movies That Take Place in Space]

Credit: Twentieth Century Fox

1. Neomorph

The latest addition to the Xenomorph family makes its debut in "Alien: Covenant" (in theaters May 19). Director Ridley Scott envisioned the Neomorph as a combination of the original Xenomorph and the prehistoric-looking goblin shark found on Earth.

2. Queen

She's big, she's scary, and she lays evil eggs: Meet the queen of the Xenomorphs. Much like the queen of a beehive, this queen is larger and stronger than the other aliens in its family. The first queen of the "Alien" saga appeared in the 1986 movie "Aliens," and were later featured "Alien: Resurrection" and "Alien vs. Predator."

3. Chestburster

The next phase of a Xenomorph's life cycle has another self-explanatory name. After a Facehugger implants an embryo, this little alien violently erupts from the host's body. Chestbursters are responsible for some of the most bloody and gut-wrenching scenes of the "Alien" movies.

Credit: Twentieth Century Fox

4. Facehugger

As the name implies, this Xenomorph will hug your face—but not as a display of affection. This long-tailed, crustaceous alien shoves a slimy appendage down its victim's throat to impregnate them with an alien embryo. It then detaches from the new host and dies shortly afterward. But it certainly doesn't end there…

Credit: Twentieth Century Fox

5. Ovomorphs

The Xenomorph egg, or Ovomorph, is the earliest stage in the lifecycle of the various monsters in the "Alien" saga. Queens can lay the eggs, but other Xenomorphs can also create them via a process called "eggmorphing," in which they transform a victim into an egg by trapping them inside a cocoon.

Credit: Twentieth Century Fox

7. Runner

Otherwise known as "Dog Aliens" or "Bambi Bursters," this type of Xenomorph spawns when a Facehugger takes a four-legged animal as its host. Runners made their first appearance in the 1992 film "Alien 3," when an alien emerges from the crew's canine companion, Spike.

Credit: Twentieth Century Fox

8. Deacon

Named after a bishop's hat, this pointy-headed and terrifyingly toothy alien appears in the prequel film "Prometheus" when a Trilobite impregnates an Engineer—an intelligent, human-like extraterrestrial the crew encounters on the moon LV-223. The trilobite was an octopus-like Facehugger that Elizabeth Shaw ripped from her own body.

Credit: Twentieth Century Fox

9. Predalien

This Predator-Xenomorph hybrid appears in the "Alien vs. Predator" movies and is the result of a Facehugger impregnating a Predator. Also called a Proto-Xenomorph, it looks a lot like the other aliens in the saga, but sports what looks like a long, tentacled hair. These things are bigger, stronger and arguably scarier than human-born aliens.

Alien Implants: Proof of Physical Contact?

JP Robinson

For more detailed information on the ET/UFO reality, read The Alien Enigma by JP Robinson.

Proof of physical contact with extraterrestrial beings has always been difficult to authenticate due to the mysterious and elusive nature of alien abduction experiences. But many 'experiencers' have reported discovering foreign objects or implants lodged beneath their skin in various parts of their body, following a contact.

Could these bizarre objects prove once and for all that something out of this world is visiting and physically affecting human abductees?

Dr. Roger K. Leir, author of The Aliens and the Scalpel and Casebook Alien Implants has spent many years researching physical evidence for proof of the reality of alien abduction. He and his surgical team have performed numerous surgeries on patients claiming to have been abducted by aliens, with the sole intent of recovering implants left in various parts of their anatomy and presenting them for biological and metallurgical research.

The retrieved objects have been scientifically investigated by many prestigious laboratories including Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico Tech, the University of Toronto, Southwest Labs, Seal Laboratories, York University and the University of California at San Diego. The results have been astounding.

On removal of the implants which he described as small metallic rods with strange grey biological membrane surrounding them, initial metallurgic tests drew comparisons with meteorite samples. The laboratories are never informed beforehand of the origin of the objects as this would only compromise and devalue the investigation. One such sample which was extracted from the back of a subject’s wrist bone was described as ‘seed-like’ in appearance as it was only five by two millimetres in size. Dr. Leir commented that “this piece has similar metallurgy as to the earlier specimens and contains high amounts of iron and nickel and has isotopic ratios that are not of this Earth.”

Patient John Smith asked Leir to remove a foreign object from his big toe following an abduction experience. Before the operation took place, other signs of physical evidence were discovered in Smith’s backyard and master bedroom. Recounting that the alien’s craft was seen hovering in the backyard above a patch of turf, soil samples were sent off to be analysed and the results concluded that there was a strange high bromine content present.

Two small four-fingered handprints were visualised under UV light on the interior of the master bedroom wall at the same area as a magnetic anomaly below the window. A biotechnologist has taken DNA from the handprints and the tests are ongoing.

 Minor elements found in the toe sample were rare on Earth and never found in the human body. The scientific analysis revealed the presence of ruthenium, iridium, palladium, rhodium, osmium, hafnium, yttrium, rhenium, niobium, cerium, neodymium, samarium, gadolinium, dysprosium, praseodymium, europium, rubidium, thorium and uranium.

The conclusion of the analysis confirmed the object to be non-terrestrial in origin as some of the elements show non-terrestrial isotopic ratios. The iron in the sample appeared to be meteoric in origin. There were also numerous inclusions in the metal portion of the object such as biological tissue growing out of the metal and surrounding it, sodium chloride orthorhombic nano-crystals of varying size plus carbon nano-structures like nano-fibres and nano-tubes. Leir explained that carbon nano-tubes can be used in a medical capacity by injecting them into the body where they eat up cholesterol.

By comparing the isotopic ratios found in the implant to known isotopic ratios of elements in our solar system, Leir discovered that they were not the same. Sub-atomic structures in the implants are also non-terrestrial. With the origin of the material still unknown, Leir concluded that the results clearly indicated that the material is not from this planet and perhaps not even from our solar system.[i]

Leir said, “We have to draw certain conclusions that these are being manufactured by some kind of intelligence, which is certainly not within the realm of our academic science.”[ii]

Discussing the purpose of the bizarre objects Leir speculated, “I think that these are genetic monitoring devices and I believe that there is a signal that is both going in and out. I also believe that the human race is now, and has been undergoing for some years, a genetic manipulation.”

The fact that people are waking up in the morning with these unusual items implanted deep under the skin is cause for concern. Leir’s research, although still in its early stages, is extremely revealing and suggestive of something greater than our understanding coming into contact with our species and physically affecting it.

The question of whether or not extraterrestrial beings are responsible for implanting the metallic devices remains inconclusive, but something physical is definitely occurring, even though it remains unclear where the responsibility lies.

The Unexplained Explosions of Island F

 Brett Tingley

Mysterious or otherwise unexplained explosion noises and booms have been reported throughout the United States in 2017. Is secretive military testing to blame? Or could anomalous geological activity be the cause of these unidentified noises? Loud booms have been reported since long before the advent of air travel, after all. Whatever these mystery booms might be, they sure seem to be on the rise. The latest case of unexplained loud noises comes from the rural community of Sharps Chapel, Tennessee, where residents are reporting a spate of mysterious explosion noises that seem to have no identifiable cause.

Sharps Chapel is heavily forested and largely undeveloped.

The noises all seem to emanate from Island F, an island in Norris Lake not far from Rocky Top, Tennessee. The island is small, just a few miles across, and is uninhabited. Hunting and target shooting is popular in the area, but residents report that these noises sound different. Sharps Chapel community watch captain Tom McCaffery says the sound is unlike the usual gunfire heard throughout the rural area:

I have heard plenty of fireworks over my years, but never anything like this. The closest thing I can think of to the sound is cannon fire.

Local authorities speculate that some citizens are perhaps using homemade explosives for target practice, but have so far been able to find concrete proof. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), an administrative body which oversees rural areas of Appalachia, has been investigating the noises at the request of local citizens.

No traces of explosions have been on the island.

According to TVA spokesman Jim Hopson, TVA investigators haven’t found any clues that might explain the source of the explosions:

They’ve gone to the island, searched the area and found no physical evidence to indicate any kind of explosion, including disturbed ground cover, holes or unusual debris.

Reports of phantom cannon-like booms along America’s east coast date back to at least the late 19th century when James Fenimore Cooper dubbed them “Seneca Guns.” Strangely, most of these reports occur near water, leading some geologists to suspect that they might be caused by large volumes of gas escaping bodies of water. With hydraulic fracking on the rise throughout the United States, it’s not entirely inconceivable that underground pockets of natural gasses are being disturbed at an unprecedented rate. Of course, there are any number of events both natural and man-made that could be the cause of these booms, sonic booms from military aircraft being the most likely candidate. Still, without an official explanation, the high frequency of these unexplained booms is a bit conspicuous.

Wisdom, Knowledge, Faith, Love – And UFOs

 Nick Redfern

UFO cults – and particularly controversial ones – are nothing new. In fact, they are ten-a-penny. Some are far more well known than others. Take, for example, the Heaven’s Gate crowd. Remember them? “Thanks” to their nuttier-than-squirrel-shit leader, Marshall Herff Applewhite, Jr., they came to a sticky and irreversible end in March 1997, after knocking back significant amounts of Phenobarbital and vodka. A word of advice: do what I do and stick to a few cans of Steel Reserve on a Friday and Saturday night. There was also the Cosmic Circle of Fellowship, which was established in the 1950s by the allegedly dimension-hopping William Ferguson. Both Unarius and The Seekers can also be added to the list. In fact, the list is a long and winding one.

One such cult, which has largely been forgotten, is the subject of today’s article. It was in the 1940s that one Francis Herman Penovic – who went by the very different name of Krishna Venta – created what was popularly known as the Fountain of the World. Its official title, however, was WKFL Fountain of the World; the “WKFL” meaning “Wisdom,” “Knowledge,” “Faith,” and “Love.” It was a pretty harmless group (for a while…), albeit one that eventually had its moments of violence and even death.

The Fountain of the World had its base of operations in Simi Valley, California. And it thrived very nicely – which is hardly surprising, given that those who chose to join the cult were required to hand over their entire belongings and life-savings. Members were also made to wear what became the de rigueur WKFL Fountain of the World uniform. Namely, robes and sandals. Or, as I term it, hippy crap. Worse still, male members of the group were told to grow beards. Even more hippy crap, in other words.

The group was very much a benevolent one, working to improve conditions for the homeless who lived on the streets in Simi Valley – usually by offering beds and food at the Fountain of the World headquarters. Without doubt, the most visible example of the WKFL Fountain of the World’s determination to help whenever and wherever it could surfaced on July 12, 1949. That was the date on which a Standard Airlines aircraft slammed into the Simi Hills, killing around three-quarters of all those on-board. The WKFL Fountain of the World were quickly on the scene to try and lend whatever help they could.

Krishna Venta

Like so many cult-leaders, Venta had delusions of grandeur. Just one year before the tragic crash of Flight 897R on the Simi Hills, he proclaimed: “I may as well say it: I am Christ. I am the new messiah.” UFOs even came into the story. Well, of course they did! Venta / Jesus maintained that he had spent time on a planet called Neophrates and had commanded a veritable armada of spacecraft from Neophrates to the Earth. And as is the case with so many cult-leaders, it all ended violently. But, you knew that was coming, right?

On December 10, 1958, two men – Ralph Muller and Peter Duma Kamenoff, both of who were ex-members of the Fountain of the World, and who correctly believed Venta had been banging their wives – planned to go on a suicide-driven bombing mission to kill Venta. Unfortunately, they succeeded. The crazed, irresponsible pair caused chaos, tragedy and death – and on a large scale. The Los Angeles Times reported one day later:

The Fountain of the World Monastery in a wooded canyon near Chatsworth was ripped apart early yesterday by a heavy explosion which instantly killed the bearded leader of the cult, Krishna Venta, and seven of his followers. Two ex-cultists linked to the blast by bizarre tape recordings in which they vowed ‘to bring Krishna to justice’ were believed to have also died in the explosion. Two children, both girls, ages 8 and 9, and a 59-year old woman were seriously burned. The explosion blew the roof from an adjoining dormitory for children and touched off a brush fire that swept over 150 acres. Fire completed the destruction of the monastery and dormitory.

The end of Krishna Venta

The heyday of the Fountain of the World was abruptly – and fortunately – at an end. After years of languishing in obscurity, it finally closed its doors in 1975. Good riddance to the group – and to beards and sandals, too.

Big Milestones for SpaceX, Cassini and Virgin Galactic: The Week's Top Space Stories

SpaceX successfully launched its first national-security mission (and landed the rocket to boot), Virgin Galactic's new SpaceShipTwo tested its "feathering" re-entry system for the first time, and NASA's Cassini probe made a surprising discovery at Saturn. Here are the most interesting things that happened in the universe this week.

SpaceX launches first mission for U.S. military

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Monday (May 1) to boost a classified spy satellite into orbit for the U.S. military — the first national-security mission for SpaceX. The rocket's first stage then turned around and touched down at a nearby landing pad. [Full Story: SpaceX Launches US Spy Satellite on Secret Mission, Nails Rocket Landing]

New SpaceShipTwo tests out re-entry system for first time

Virgin Galactic's second SpaceShipTwo took to the skies over Mojave, California on Monday (May 1) for the first test flight of the craft's atmospheric re-entry system, which was modified after a fatal test flight in 2014 destroyed the original ship. [Full Story: Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo Makes 1st Test Flight of Revamped Re-Entry System]

Cassini finds the gap between Saturn and its rings is eerily silent

Researchers monitoring the Cassini spacecraft were surprised to find almost no dust and debris in the previously unexplored zone between Saturn and its rings during the spacecraft's first dramatic dive through the 1,200-mile-wide (2,000 kilometers) gap. You can hear the strange lack of impacts in a new NASA video. [Full Story: Hear Saturn's 'Big Empty' from Cassini, Which Just Made 2nd Ring Dive]

THE SECRET SPACE PROGRAM: SOLAR WARDEN

A secret space program with the name of Solar Warden has been in existence since 1980 but the public has known nothing about it as it has been kept a secret. An investigative researcher looked into the program when making a freedom of information request to the Department of Defense and found out that the program belonged to NASA.

He talked to a representative from NASA who said that Solar Warden did belong to them and it was not a joint program with the DoD and that he should talk with the Johnson Space Center FOIA manager. 

GOVERNMENT SLIPPED UP WITH INFORMATION

The Solar Warden program does not just operate classified under the government of the US but also of that of the United Nations. Many people have tried to find the truth about the program but this researcher used information that had been leaked and asked questions, while government departments slipped up in giving information away, in much the same way as when Darren Perks questioned the Department of Defense, while Gary McKinnon contributed.

• Codename Solar Warden - The Hidden Human Space Armada

McKinnon was the guy who hacked into the computers of the US Space Command many years ago and found out that there were such things as non-terrestrial officers along with fleet-to-fleet transfers and the Solar Warden program. He was charged for committing the biggest military computer hack by the Bush Justice Department and was looking at a prison sentence of up to 70 years once extradited from the UK.

Of course, if they tried McKinnon in open court he would testify to the classified facts and his attorney could subpoena officers from the government under oath to talk about the space fleet program they had been keeping quiet about. The extradition of McKinnon, not surprisingly, did not go anywhere.

LARGE CIGAR SHAPED MOTHERSHIPS PART OF SOLAR WARDEN PROGRAM

McKinnon found out that there were craft or ships within Solar Warden and it had been said that there was around eight cigar-shaped motherships, with each of them being longer than putting two football fields end to end, along with 43 scout ships that were smaller.

The Solar Warden Space Fleet was operating under the Space Operations Command and US Naval Network and there was about 300 personnel working at the facility. Solar Warden was said to have US aerospace Black Projects contractors, with contributions from the UK, Canada, Italy, Australia, and Russia. It had also been said that the program was operated and tested from a secret military base much like Area 51.

Whether there is any truth in this remains to be seen, but in the end, no doubt, the truth will eventually come out. Solar Warden does seem to be a possibility that may be real, so it should not be viewed as being yet just another conspiracy. While there is a great deal of hype along with controversy surrounding all the information and facts, it perhaps should not be ruled out. If found out to be real then it would change the views on space exploration along with space travel, so really if there is anything to it there is no wonder that it is being kept a secret.

ISS CAPTURES UFO PASSING AT HIGH SPEED IN THE SKIES OF NORTH KOREA

The unseen video that shows the mysterious object passing at high speeds over North Korea surfaced on the Internet. This unidentified object entered the upper layers of the atmosphere. The object was captured with a camera installed on the International Space Station.

Live broadcasts from the International Space Station (ISS) are usually guidelines for unexplained appearances, which ufologists and conspiracy theorists always associate with extraterrestrial beings. Once again, the US space agency was accused of covering up evidence of the existence of aliens.

It has been going on for some time that not every space technology or celestial body observer approaching Earth has a strictly terrestrial origin. The International Space Station since it began its scientific activities in space seems to have become a point of direct observation of the Unidentified Flying Objects that circulate our atmosphere, and more, "they" seem to demonstrate that they are not even worried about being captured in video Or detected by radars and other instruments of detection of space agencies administered by the superpowers.

CHASING A UFO WITH A LASER

UFO's are mostly known as these untouchable discs flying through to the sky. People think that these objects can not be touched, not be messed with, no be tracked. However, when we try to seek contact with these entities, the results are spectaculair. 

I went out UFO hunting this evening and I came across this object, I checkec my satelite finder and the results were negative, I checked my plane tracker and the result was negative. The object that I was filmking was showing some strange movements so I decided to shine my laser towards the object and the results were spectacular.

Could this be some form of intelligent being that was trying to communicate with me? Or was it trying to get out of scope really fast? The object did not make any noice whatsoever. The movements were highly irregular. What do you think it is? I don't it was a bird.
