Looking Back at the Varginha UFO Incident In Brazil
Looking Back at the Varginha UFO Incident In Brazil
The Varginha town of Minas Gerais in Brazil is not particularly known for tourist attractions. It could be normal to expect the small town could very well cross history without ever being noticed by the rest of people in Brazil and the world. However, that situation suddenly changed on January 20, 1996, when the town became the center of attention as it staged one of the most famous Brazilian UFO incidents.
Three teenagers claimed they observed a strange, short creature with V-shaped feet, red eyes, and horns. They were certain that it was not a man or an animal as it was something different. All of the sudden the three young women put Varginha on the center stage.
Reports of strange creatures, UFOs, strange coincidences, military operations and even mysterious deaths followed the incident. In fact, many questions are still unanswered.
The UFO incident in Varginha started with two sisters and a friend seeing a strange being. The encounter had been followed by a series of events and hysteria as Brazilian media picked up mysterious happenings in the area. Even the Brazilian Army jumped into the case doing a costly operation to investigate it.
The Army operation did not help as more reports on UFOs were spreading. A couple of farmers claimed they spotted something like a gray spaceship flying above their cattle. One farmer said that the cows were running from the silent and no light UFO, which was surrounded by fog.
Furthermore, there were reports about the presence of a strange creature next to the city’s zoo. Mysteriously, the animals in that zoo started to die without explainable reason.
Brazilian ufologist Marco Petit said that the government cover-up operation has made all these incidents to remain unproven. Petit said that the case is more important and bigger than most people think.
There were reports that then the leading forensic expert in Brazil Doctor Badan Palhares examined the bodies of extraterrestrials that were recovered from the spaceship found by the military. However, Palhares has always denied the rumor, calling it utter nonsense.
While all the claims remain unproven, the event made the small town the focus of public attention. Varginha is now described as the hot spot in the intergalactic search for the intelligent alien.
U.S. Military Reveals Instructions On How To Photograph UFOs
U.S. Military Reveals Instructions On How To Photograph UFOs
The manual on how to snap UFOs was recently declassified in the U.S. Department of Defense files. The document “DoD Instruction 5040.6, Life-Cycle Management of DoD Visual Information (VI)” contains 27 pages, including data from 2002.
In Section 21 of Chapter 5, the document shows a table concerning imagery that records unidentified flying objects and other aerial phenomena not clearly identifiable as missiles or conventional aircraft. The table also shows a list of priority assigned to each category of imagery along with appropriate handling instructions. It instructs the military to make digital copies of the media and send them to the Defence Visual Information Center.
UFO researcher and blogger Paul Dean uncovered the document through the Freedom of Information Act. Dean said that the table of what to photograph and not to photograph lays out entirely both UFOs and aerial phenomena with descriptors.
The document proves that the U.S. did not stop documenting and researching UFOs after the 1960s, contrary to what is widely believe.
Dean notes that the files in the document don’t link UFOs to aliens. However, he adds that the government obviously keep a straight face on the UFO issue when they clearly state it in plain English for the military to digest.
Witness says diamond-shaped object was ‘humongous’
Witness says diamond-shaped object was ‘humongous’
A Pennsylvania witness at York reported watching a “humongous” object fly directly overhead after a smaller object was ejected from it at a distance, according to Testimony in Case 83329 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
York is about 26 miles southeast of Harrisburg, PA.

The witness was inside watching television when two bright lights were noticed at a distance.
“I thought, oh, a new tower with two huge lights attached. But no tower,” the witness stated.“Went outside. The lights did not move at all and a light came off the top right corner and a small craft came off the light and hovered below.”
The larger object then moved toward the witness.
“The big UFO took off towards me and went right over my home extremely low. It was diamond-shaped and had a rectangular light underneath it. In that rectangle was a red light, then a white light, and then a green light. The lights were not flashing. The UFO was humongous, and made a humming noise.”
A smaller object was emitted from the larger object. Pictured: York, PA.

Both object then began to move.
“When it took off, the small thing that came out of it went straight up. When the light came out of the right corner or what would have been the right corner (the only thing I could see at that point were the two huge lights) it seemed that the small thing came off that light. Almost like it was poured out of that light.”
The witness was afraid of the sighting.
“Anyway, it scared me a lot, and I have looked for a hovering jet picture on the net, but did not see any that looked like it. And why would a hovering jet be spitting out a small craft like that? Before it took off, it had stayed unmoving at least 10 minutes, maybe longer, before I noticed it. In relationship to its size, it was huge. I watch planes in the distance from my backyard and the little thing that came out of the big UFO would have been the size of a commercial airplane like I see all the time going toward Harrisburg Airport. So, the big UFO was really, really, big.”
The larger object then flew directly over the witness. Pictured: York, PA.

Mysterious flashes of light above Earth captured by NASA satellite and ISS live feed camera
Mysterious flashes of light above Earth captured by NASA satellite and ISS live feed camera
Parked in space a million miles from Earth, the Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) onboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) captured hundreds of flashes of light in Earth’s upper atmosphere.
Flashed of light captured by the Deep Space Climate Observatory.
In the 1990s astronomer Carl Sagan already reported this bizarre phenomenon which he noticed in images from the Galileo spacecraft.
These flashes of light not only appeared over oceans but over land as well and while scientists at first suggested that the lights seen over the ocean may be the reflection of sunlight off a part of the ocean the same couldn’t be said for the flashes seen over land.
After studying this phenomenon the scientists concluded that the source of the flashes is not on Earth’s surface but cirrus clouds up to five to eight kilometers high in the atmosphere where these flashes were seen whereby the cause of the flashes of light are most likely solar reflection off of horizontally ice particles, reports dailymail.
These kind of flashes of light are not only captured by the Deep Space Climate Observatory, parked in space a million miles from Earth but it seems the camera onboard the International Space Station which orbit the Earth at an altitude of between 330 and 435 km apparently also has the ability to capture the strange flashes of light above Earth.
Flashes of light captured by ISS live feed camera.
Streetcap1, who caught similar flashes of light on the ISS live feed on May 10, 2017, said: “What are these weird light ripple effect above Earth.”
Solar reflection off of horizontally ice particles again or is it a phenomenon that cannot be explained?
A mysterious 'flying disc-like shaped UFO' has been captured on a live feed taken from the International Space Station, conspiracy theorists claim.
The creepy footage seems to show the disc hover by one of the ISS's large solar panels before quickly shooting off.
Alien hunters claim that the bizarre footage is proof that extra terrestrials exist, but one UFO expert says the shape is simply light playing on the camera lens.

ISS ALIEN SIGHTINGS
This isn't the first time an ISS live stream has caused a stir among conspiracy theorists.
Last month a strange object floating past the ISS had UFO hunters claiming visitors from other worlds have developed cloaking technology.
The footage appeared to show the object suddenly appearing near the space station, before starting to approach it.
Part of the cylinder is then seen to disappear, which the UFO spotter who shared the footage believed was evidence of a cloaking device.
A video discussing the disc was uploaded to YouTube this week by UFO Hunters Secure Team 10.
Tyler Glockner from the Secure Team channel, which has almost a million subscribers, said: 'It can only be described as some sort of flying disc-like shaped UFO, that was spotted hovering in the distance behind the international space station before darting away at a very high rate of speed.
'This is one of the most commonly seen and spoken about craft by hundreds and thousands of people over Earth, in space and above the moon.
'This thing moves as if it knew the camera was watching it and it was in the frame before it picks up speed before finally shrinking due to the law of perspective before blasting backwards.'
But not everyone is convinced that the strange shape is an extra terrestrial craft.
Nigel Watson, UFO expert and author of the UFO Investigations Manual, told MailOnline: 'This looks like the reflection of a light source inside the camera lens rather than an extraterrestrial spaceship zipping past the ISS.
'Adding music and a bit of editing is used by Secure Team 10 to add a bit of mystery to it, but there is no supporting information or evidence to say it is an alien spacecraft.'

This is not the first time that evidence of aliens has been spotted near the International Space Station (pictured). Some believe Nasa is actively covering up evidence of alien life
CLOAKING DEVICES
According to the Institute of Physics, metamaterials which can bend electromagnetic radiation such as light around an object to give the appearance that it isn't there.
To date some researchers have used such properties of metamaterials to create devices that can bend certain forms of radiation, such as near-infrared radiation.
So far, however, producing the same effect with visible light has proved more of a challenge.
Part of the cylinder is then seen to disappear, which the UFO spotter who shared the footage believed was evidence of a cloaking device.
Speaking on his blog UFO Sightings Daily, astro-biologist Scott C Waring said: 'I noticed a UFO in the distance that was coming closer and closer to the space station.
'The UFO was partially cloaked, which made it look transparent.
'In the deep blackness of spaces, blending into the environment means you will be safer from other alien species that may not be so friendly.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN CONSPIRACY THEORIES?
People who doubt the moon landings are more likely to be selfish and attention-seeking, according to a study earlier this year.
Over the course of three online-based studies, researchers at the University of Kent showed strong links between the belief in conspiracy theories and negative psychological traits.
Writing in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science, the team explained: 'Previous research linked the endorsement of conspiracy theories to low self-esteem.'
In the first study, a total of 202 participants completed questionnaires on conspiracy beliefs, asking how strongly they agreed with specific statements, such as whether governments carried out acts of terrorism on their own soil.
Alongside this, they were asked to complete a narcissist scale and a self-esteem assessment.
The results showed that those people who rated highly on the narcissism scale and who had low self-esteem were more likely to be conspiracy believers.

MARIA ORSIC, THE VRIL & UFOS - NAZI GERMANY SECRETS
MARIA ORSIC, THE VRIL & UFOS - NAZI GERMANY SECRETS
Gaia Staff
HOW ARE MARIA ORSIC AND THE VRIL CONNECTED TO GERMAN FLYING SAUCERS?
During World War II, the Germans yearned for any advantage over their opponents. Whether it was technology, intelligence or strength, they wanted to be the best of the best. When Maria Orsic, a young German nationalist, came forward to share her remarkable gifts, the Nazis were delighted. What they discovered about her was more spectacular than anyone could ever have imagined: Maria could communicate with extraterrestrials.
WHAT IS THE VRIL SOCIETY? MARIA ORSIC & THE GERMAN SECRET SOCIETY
Maria Orsic was a medium and the leader of a Nazi secret society, known as the Vril, that existed in the WWII era. The Vril Society was established after Orsic received communication from extraterrestrials who had once lived in what is now Sumeria. These beings eventually departed Earth for the Aldebaran solar system. The Vril named themselves after the ancient Sumerian word “Vri-ll,” meaning “God-like.”
The Vrill members were attractive young women who grew their hair all the way down past their hips, which was uncharacteristic of the times. The logic for growing their hair to such an extravagant length centered around their belief that human hair acts as an antenna to make contact with extraterrestrials. They believed that they could use their telepathic abilities to communicate with these otherworldly beings and give the Nazis some sort of advantage over their opponents.
After making contact with the extraterrestrials, Orsic transcribed the information in two different scripts. The first was a secret German Templar language that she did not personally understand. The second was an ancient language that historians commonly link to the German occult group known as the “Thule.” Most of these scholars are in agreement that this language stems from ancient Sumeria, where the extraterrestrials once thrived.
Once the transcriptions were translated into German, the Vril were shocked. The ancient race had given Orsic extremely detailed instructions for constructing a flying saucer.
Researchers believe that the information channeled by Orsic led to Nazi Germany's creation of futuristic flying saucers. Some historians point to the alleged Nazi use of so called "foo fighters," or unidentified flying objects, during World War II as evidence of the country's superior aircraft technology. These flying vessels were sphere-shaped and glowed with an intense light, and some believed they were capable of scrambling their enemies’ communication.
After all this, the Vril Society suddenly disappeared without a trace. Their bodies were never found. While no one can be sure exactly where they went, a final letter from Orsic to the Vril members stated “niemand bleibt hier,” or “no one is staying here.” It’s possible that the Vril used Orsic’s channeled instructions to build a spacecraft and leave the planet.
THEORY OF DEPARTURE: VOYAGE TO THE ALDEBARAN SOLAR SYSTEM
It seems that Orsic was intent on communicating with the extraterrestrials in the Aldebaran solar system for a purpose. After receiving instructions for building a flying saucer, it makes sense that the Vril departed Earth for Aldebaran. This solar system exists in the Constellation of Taurus, which is 68 light years away from Earth. (For comparison, Alpha Centauri, the solar system closest to ours, is 4.35 light years away from the Earth.)
Those who believe Orsic departed Earth for Aldebaran argue that the top-tier members of the Vril Society, along with other German secret societies like the Thule, had adequate financing from Adolf Hitler's regime for the construction of flying saucers. After all, Germany's leading engineer, Werhner Von Braun, made no secret of the fact that the Nazis received an abundance of technical information from extraterrestrials before and during World War II.
THE RUDOLF HESS - MARIA ORSIC CONNECTION
Another popular claim from Nazi Germany historians is that Orsic provided all of her channeled information to a rising star within the Nazi party named Rudolf Hess. According to this theory, Orsic supplied Hess with every last detail of her communications with the Vril as a means of expressing her German nationalism. Hess went on to become an influential figure in the Nazi party.
If theorists are correct, Hitler and his henchmen relied on Orsic's detailed channelings to create an array of flying saucers and other high-tech weapons for use in the war. These theorists also believe the Nazis funded millions of dollars to a top secret program dedicated to mastering flight with flying saucers and other UFO-like aircraft.
NAZI SCIENTISTS CONFIRM CONTACT
A fellow German space pioneer named Hermann Oberth echoed Von Braun's claimsthat the Germans had knowledge of extraterrestrials. Oberth was one of the German Reich's top rocket designers during World War II. Though he moved on to work for the United States' space program's push to send men into outer space, Oberth is best remembered for his statements linking the Nazis to extraterrestrials.
According to Oberth, the Nazis could not “take credit” for their advancement in an array of scientific fields. Like Von Braun, Oberth claimed the Nazis received extensive assistance from a super-intelligent, alien life form. Oberth referred to these Vril aliens as “people of other worlds.”
If one takes Oberth and Von Braun at their word, it becomes clear that the Nazi government obtained significant military assistance from highly advanced aliens. Many conspiracy theorists believe Maria Orsic's channelings served as the initial point of connection between Germans and these uber-intelligent extraterrestrials.
VRIL: FACT OR FICTION?
Those who believe in the Vril theorize that they either live below the surface of the earth or in the Aldebaran solar system. Yet many historians argue the supposed Nazi connection to the Vril people is pure fiction.
Some skeptics point to the 1871 novel, The Coming Race by Edward Bulwer-Lytton. In this fictional work a wayward traveler stumbles upon a highly intelligent race of people living in an underground world. These people called themselves the “Vril-ya.” As former surface dwellers, the Vril-ya understood much about the planet's above-ground happenings, yet were forced below the terrain following a worldwide catastrophe. Vril-ya members credited their survival with the unseen force known as “Vril.” The novel describes Vril as a mystical form of electricity or magnetism that provided them with a superpower or cosmic energy that functions in harmony with the natural world.
Based on the striking similarities between the novel and the story of Maria Orsic, the line between fact and fiction is quite blurry. Was Lytton's work of fiction actually based on real-world interactions between Germans like Orsic and legitimate extraterrestrials?
The disappearance of Maria Orsic and her followers remains a mystery. Perhaps these women decided to leave our war-torn planet with the help of an ancient race. Perhaps Orsic lived the remainder of her life on an unknown planet in the Aldebaran solar system. Explore more Deep Space mysteries to come to your own conclusions.
VIDEOHoe zien de wereld en de mensheid er over één miljard jaar uit? Het YouTubekanaal 'RealLifeLore' (RLL) wil een antwoord vinden op die vraag en probeert een realistische toekomstvoorspelling te doen. En wat leert ons dat? Er komt een tijd aan waar vmeer zal zijn. En talen zoals we ze nu kennen, zullen niet meer bestaan. Ga mee op een reian rassen geen sprake s door de toekomst.
Over 10.000 jaar voorspelt RLL een nieuwe milleniumbug, met computers die problemen hebben met de overgang naar een jaartal met vijf cijfers. Daarnaast zal de mensheid zo genetisch gemixt zijn, dat we geen specifieke rassen meer zullen kennen, zo voorspelt de video. Over 20.000 jaar zijn de talen die we nu kennen zo sterk geëvolueerd, dat er nog slechts één procent van de huidige woorden overblijft. De huidige talen worden dus volledig onherkenbaar.
Wat het effect van de opwarming van de aarde ook wordt, over 50.000 jaar zou er een nieuwe ijstijd komen, volgens de makers van het filmpje. Ook verdwijnen heel wat meren in Canada, net als de bekende Niagara Falls. Bovendien zullen we elk jaar een schrikkelseconde bij onze jaartelling moeten toevoegen. Over 100.000 jaarzal het sterrenstelsel er volledig anders uitzien dan vandaag. En zal de mensheid van planeet Mars een bewoonbare planeet hebben gemaakt.
Over 500.000 jaar is het erg waarschijnlijk dat de aarde geraakt is door een asteroïde van een kilometer diameter, tenzij de mensheid de impact van de asteroïde kan stoppen. Daar tegenover staat dat de meteorietkrater in het Amerikaanse Arizona over 950.000 jaar volledig geërodeerd en verdwenen is. En wie dacht dat we met vulkaan Eyjafjallajokull al wat gezien hadden, wacht beter nog een miljoen jaar. Want tegen die tijd is de kans groot dat de aarde een supervulkaanuitbarsting heeft ervaren, met een uitstoot van 3.200 kubieke meter assen (lees verder onder de afbeelding).
Over twee miljoen jaarzal de bekende Grand Canyon tot een grote, weidse vallei geërodeerd zijn. Nog tegen dan zal de mensheid verschillende planeten gekoloniseerd hebben. Op die verschillende planeten zullen zich nieuwe mensachtige soorten ontwikkelen, die zich hebben aangepast aan de omstandigheden op die planeten.
Op onze aarde zal over zo'n 10 miljoen jaar een deel van het continent Afrika loskomen van de rest van het continent. Nog even later, over 50 miljoen jaar, zal de rest van Afrika opgeschoven zijn en de Middellandse Zee volledig overbrugd hebben. De botsing tussen Afrika en het Euro-Aziatische continent zal een nieuwe bergketen doen ontstaan, met mogelijk hogere bergen dan de Mount Everest (lees verder onder de afbeelding).
Hawaï zal over 80 miljoen jaar volledig onder water verdwenen zijn, voorspellen de makers van het filmpje nog. En over 100 miljoen jaar zal de aarde vermoedelijk geraakt zijn door een asteroïde zo groot als die verantwoordelijk was voor de uitroeiing van de dinosaurussen (lees verder onder de afbeelding).
Over 250 miljoen jaar zullen alle continenten op aarde opnieuw tegen elkaar aan liggen en één supercontinent vormen, zoals Pangea. Over 500 tot 600 miljoen jaarzal de aarde bedreigd worden door een uitbarsting van Gamma-stralen die de ozonlaag sterk zullen beschadigen, een grote bedreiging voor het leven op aarde. Nog verder in de toekomst, over zo'n 800 miljoen jaar, zal fotosynthese niet langer mogelijk zijn op aarde door het gebrek aan CO² (lees verder onder de afbeelding).
Over één miljard jaar tenslotte zal de temperatuur op aarde zo fel zijn toegenomen tot een constante van zo'n 47 graden Celsius, waarna de oceanen op aarde langzaamaan zullen verdampen en leven helemaal onmogelijk wordt. Alleen in de buurt van de polen zal nog water te vinden zijn. Dat worden dan ook de twee laatste plaatsen met leven op aarde, zo eindigt de voorspelling.
Something is afoot in southern England. Scores of reports of UFOs, black helicopters, and other anomalous aerial phenomena have poured in over the last year. Many of these sightings have had multiple witnesses and/or photographic evidence. Interestingly, many of these sightings involve slow-moving triangle-shaped aircraft or triangular groupings of lights. There is a joint USAF/RAF base in the area, making military testing of secretive spy aircraft a likely explanation. However, there could also be a social or psychological element to the spate of sightings; as more individuals report sightings and receive publicity, more and more residents might be watching the skies with cameras ready to film any odd sights.
Zoomed image taken from the footage.
Whatever the cause of the rash of sightings is, a new video of strange lights in the sky shot in Exmouth, England appears eerily similar to other recent sightings of triangular aircraft. The footage was shot on the evening of April 17, 2017 by an on-duty bus driver and shows a trio of lights hovering slowly in the distance.
According to the report filed by MUFON, the bus driver spotted the lights while planning his wedding on the phone with his best man, a call he quickly ended to film the event:
I was just kind of walking about near the leisure center, where my bus stops, when I looked randomly over in the direction of the river, which is when I saw the three lights in a triangle pattern rotating on its axis and wobbling slightly. I have been interested in the subject of UFOs since I was about 10. I told my mate I’d ring him back and started filming the lights with my phone. Due to the street lights my camera was having a hard time focusing on the formation. so I moved closer to the river to get a better view. It’s at this point I really had to go back to the bus stop to get my bus.
Hmm… prior interest in UFOs, out-of-focus camera – all the trappings of a dubious sighting. However, given the relatively clear footage and the high number of similar sightings in southern England, the sighting is a bit conspicuous.
The lights in the footage hover far in the distance beyond the capabilities of the witness’s camera. Naturally.
Similar triangle UFOs have been a regular sight in the skies over England for decades. Our own Nick Redfern recently wrote a summary of the UK and U.S. militaries’ acknowledgment of the flying triangle (FT) phenomenon in which Redfern cites former UK Ministry of Defence UFO investigator Nick Pope. According to Pope, both the American and British governments initially suspected that the other side might be responsible, but discovered that neither nation’s military could explain the sightings:
[T]here was an interesting little hint that the Americans, too, were seeing these Flying Triangles over their territory. As we were making our inquiries, they turned the question around and wanted to know if our Royal Air Force had a triangular-shaped, hypersonic prototype aircraft of some sort. So, presumably, the Americans were having Flying Triangle sightings, too.
Triangle UFOs aren’t just an English phenomenon, however. Flying triangles have been spotted around the world with increasing frequency lately. Recently declassified documents show that even the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has documented sightings of similar triangle UFOs which appeared to monitor American nuclear facilities. While many of us would love for these two be proof of visitors from another world, most theories suggest that these flying triangles are likely a form of undisclosed aircraft.
Dozens of witnesses across Belgium reported sightings of the same triangle-shaped craft throughout 1989 and 1990.
Whatever they are, one thing is for sure: the triangle is the new saucer.
If farm animals are turning up dead, dismembered and drained of their blood, and the location is somewhere in Central America, it can mean only one thing – get your license renewed because it’s chupacabra season. Residents of the Monterrey village of Choloma in northwest Honduras have reported finding at least 35 mysteriously slaughtered farm animals so far – a large number in a short period of time – and one young boy claims to have witnessed one of the killings.
He said that he only looked at a shadow that formed in two and pounced on the goats, but that he could do nothing else, because he was paralyzed with fear.
La Tribuna reports that Nely David Martinez claims he heard a noise in a pasture at 12:45am on May 5. He said he got to the sheep in time to observe a shadow surround them, the goats fall to the ground dead and the shadow just as suddenly dissolve away. A ‘shadow’ isn’t much of an identification, but a neighbor claimed it had to be a chupacabra because the killing occurred at night and chupacabra only attack at night. That’s not much to go on either. However, the locals are understandably on edge because another farmer in the Choloma area lost 30 sheep, a horse and three dogs just three weeks before.
What ever it is, Omar Martinez, uncle of Nely David Martinez, is worried about more than just the animals. (Google translation)
The fear of us is that I do that against a child or someone who walks at night; Can be a person ingested of alcoholic drinks that falls asleep in the street.
Sounds like life is tough in Choloma even without the chupacabra.
And it’s not just Choloma and northern Honduras suffering from recent attacks that resemble the mythical blood-draining killings of the chupacabra. La Tribuna reported in early April that at least 30 cows were mysteriously killed in less than a month in a cluster of five villages in southern Honduras. Nunez Colindres was one farmer who lost animals.
The strange animal, which has frightened farmers in the southern area of Francisco Morazán and north of Choluteca, only “sucks” the blood and eats the heart to its victims.
He reported finding a dead calf with a deep hole in its neck that had its heart and anus eaten away and its blood drained. In one of the other villages (Las Agujas de Catacamas, Olancho), witnesses claimed to have seen a “white and ugly animal” prowling the pastures just coming across a dead bull with its eyes and tongue ripped out and, of course, no blood.
Not surprisingly, farmers are spending all of their time with their animals. Whatever is doing the killings, the total was high enough in the south that a number of local police departments investigated and increased patrols. That will likely be the case in Choloma if the killings continue there. The loss of so many animals has a severe economic impact on these small farms and villages. That’s the kind of terror that makes the imagination run wild and the chupacabra becomes the blame for many problems that the government is doing nothing about.
It’s enough to drive a poor farmer to drink. Fortunately, they have good reasons to stay sober — the safety of their flocks and families and the fear that chupacabra allegedly have a special fondness for …
… a person ingested of alcoholic drinks that falls asleep in the street .

Supergeheim militair hexagon ontdekt. Is dit het Australische Area 51?
Supergeheim militair hexagon ontdekt. Is dit het Australische Area 51?
In 2014 spotte de WorldView3-satelliet iets vreemds in de Australische wildernis. Aan de westkust van het continent bleek zich een enorm geometrisch symbool te bevinden.
De zeshoek beslaat een gebied van bijna 2,5 vierkante kilometer. In de wijde omtrek van de vorm is verder niets te bekennen.
Aan de rand van de vorm bevinden zich puntige structuren die lange schaduwen werpen. Als er wordt ingezoomd blijkt het te gaan om een enorme rij antennes.
Meest geheimzinnige
De satelliet had de meest geheimzinnige en controversiële militaire installatie van Australië vastgelegd.
De installatie, genaamd Harold Holt, is gebouwd door het Amerikaanse leger en wordt gebruikt om met schepen van over de hele wereld te communiceren.
Op de basis worden naar verluidt topgeheime ruimtespionagesystemen gebruikt die zijn ontwikkeld in de VS.
Geheim wapenprogramma
Sommigen beweren dat de instrumenten van een burgervliegtuig in 2008 op hol sloegen door de signalen van de basis, waardoor het een noodlanding moest maken.
Nadien deden geruchten de ronde dat de installatie onderdeel is van een geheim wapenprogramma. Men wil burgervliegtuigen uit voorzorg weren uit het gebied.
De basis is, net als Area 51 in Amerika, strikt verboden toegang. Wat er precies gebeurt blijft geheim.
De beelden zijn afkomstig uit het programma What On Earth?

Er is een god voor nodig om de wiskundige onderbouwing van het heelal begrijpelijk te maken. Dat stelt professor Robert H. Nelson van de Universiteit van Maryland.
In 2004 stelde de Britse natuurkundige Roger Penrose dat het heelal bestaat uit drie werelden: wiskunde, de materiële wereld en menselijk bewustzijn.
Net als de wiskunde is het bewustzijn niet fysiek aanwezig in de wereld: de beelden en gedachten in ons bewustzijn hebben geen meetbare dimensies.
Bovennatuurlijke aard
Toch zijn deze niet-fysieke gedachten bepalend voor de acties van ons fysieke lichaam. Professor Nelson stelt dat de wiskunde en het bewustzijn op een wonderlijke, goddelijke manier opereren.
Filosoof Thomas Nagel schreef in 2012 dat we wetenschappelijk materialisme moeten achterlaten aangezien menselijk bewustzijn wetenschappelijk onverklaarbaar is.
De bovennatuurlijke aard van het menselijk bewustzijn biedt ruimte voor de mogelijkheid dat er een bovennatuurlijke god is.
Niet in strijd
Een aantal wetenschappers, waaronder directeur van het Amerikaanse gezondheidsinstiuut NIH Francis Collins, zegt dat het geloof in een god niet in strijd is met de evolutietheorie.
Nelson merkt op dat in de axiale periode radicale culturele veranderingen plaatsvonden. In China ontstonden het confucianisme en taoïsme, in India het hindoeïsme en boeddhisme en in Griekenland het filosofisch rationalisme.
Revolutie
Hij spreekt van een revolutie op het gebied van menselijk denken, die niet kon worden verklaard aan de hand van het wetenschappelijk materialisme.
Deze revolutie vond plaats in het menselijk bewustzijn, buiten de fysieke realiteit, wat volgens de professor verder bewijs is voor de conclusie dat de mens ‘naar het evenbeeld van een god’ is gemaakt.
Neil Armstrong zette als eerste mens voet op de maan. Dit zei hij over aliens die daar ook waren
Er zijn vaartuigen gecrasht en lichamen geborgen. We zijn niet alleen in het universum; ze komen hier al heel lang. Dat zijn de woorden vanwijlen astronaut Edgar Mitchell, de zesde man op de maan.
Hij is niet de enige astronaut die zich heeft uitgesproken over het vermeende bestaan van aliens. Astronaut Brian O’Leary zei dat ‘we contact hebben met buitenaardse culturen’.
Ken Johnston werkte voor de NASA aan de maanlander in het Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston.
Drie dagen
In de film Aliens on the Moon: The Truth Exposed, uitgezonden door Syfy, zegt hij:
“Toen Neil [Armstrong] en Buzz [Aldrin] op de maan waren, schakelde Neil over naar het medische kanaal en zei hij tegen de hoofdarts dat ze hier zijn, dat ze aan de rand van de krater geparkeerd staan en ons in de gaten houden.”
Aldrin onthult overigens in dezelfde film dat Apollo 11 drie dagen lang werd gevolgd door een UFO.
Boodschap
Tijdens de landing van Apollo 11 was er twee minuten radiostilte. Volgens de NASA kwam dat omdat één van de twee tv-camera’s oververhit was geraakt, waardoor de ontvangst wegviel.
Volgens Johnston en anderen was dat niet het geval.
Timothy Good, een voormalig adviseur van het Pentagon die in het BBC-programma Opinionated al eens zei dat president Eisenhower drie keer met aliens sprak, schrijft hierover in zijn boek Above Top Secret:
Tijdens die twee minuten radiostilte werd de volgende boodschap opgevangen:
Controlecentrum: Wat kun je zien? Controlecentrum voor Apollo 11.
Apollo 11: Deze dingen zijn enorm. Je zult het nooit geloven. Er zijn hier andere ruimteschepen… ze staan aan de rand van de krater… Ze zijn op de maan en houden ons in de gaten.
Foto’s
Volgens de media was dit allemaal een verzinsel, maar in 1975 sprak een oud-medewerker van NASA zich uit die had meegeholpen aan het ontwikkelen van het communicatiesysteem van de Apollo-missies.
In 1975 schreef Maurice Chatelain in zijn boek Our Cosmic Ancestors dat er twee UFO’s boven Armstrong hingen op het moment dat hij voet op de maan zette.
Onder het tapijt
“Edwin Aldrin maakte er verschillende foto’s van,” aldus Chatelain. “Sommige van deze foto’s zijn in juni 1975 zelfs gepubliceerd in het tijdschrift Modern People.”
In 1979 zei Chatelain dat NASA de UFO-waarneming doelbewust onder het tapijt heeft geveegd.
Miguel Mendonça claims he has spoken with aliens after researching the abduction myth.
Miguel Mendonça, 43, published his first book about the extraterrestrial phenomenon - Meet the Hybrids - in 2015
It told the stories of eight people who claim that they are hybrids between humans and aliens after their mothers were allegedly abducted and implanted with alien DNA during pregnancy.
Mr Mendonçaa, a former green energy expert who helped shape UK renewable power policies, went on to produce two volumes of his second alien-related work - We Are the Disclosure Part I and Part II - based on interviews with leading ufologists and "truth" campaigners the following year.
But, in his most recent work - Being with the Beings - a compendium of interviews with nine so-called alien contactees, published this year, Mr Mendonça describes his own alleged contact with aliens.
In the introduction, he states: "I knew at the outset that this project would trigger more contact experiences of my own, and sure enough, things have been getting extremely interesting around here of late.
"In my contacts, I have drawn upon the advice and approaches shared by the interviewees, and I can attest that they are working well for me."
The author suggests that anyone can enjoy contact with aliens if they wish.
He adds: "I trust that you, the reader, can likewise approach contact with safety, security and good sense by working with the practical aspects of this material.
I knew at the outset that this project would trigger more contact experiences of my own, and sure enough, things have been getting extremely interesting around here of late.
Miguel Mendonça
"Because it seems to be that the ET subject is as practical and available as you want it to be.
"If you desire contact you can have it, and this book offers advice on literally centuries of experience and insight, to those who wish to venture into these realms."
Mr Mendonça said he even interacted with aliens during research for the book, after allegedly speaking to them through the nine "contactees" and interviewing them.
In fact, he claims the concept for Being with the Beings came in a "download" from an alien keen to get more known about the subject.
He added: "The project concept came to me as a download, with the title, outline, list of participants and list of questions, including: what message would they like to share? Evidently, someone wanted to say something."
Mr Mendonça is convinced that the people he has interviewed are alien contacts, hybrids and even extraterrestrials themselves.
Sceptics however, argue there is no real evidence for anyone being abducted by an alien or for alien-human hybrids to exist.
They say the accounts from alleged experiencers are remarkably similar because they get repeated and then picked up online, and the growth of social media has led to more and more people making such claims.

UFO HUNTER MYSTERY: Questions after 'man who found life on Mars' goes silent
UFO HUNTER MYSTERY: Questions after 'man who found life on Mars' goes silent
A PROLIFIC UFO hunter who claimed on numerous occasions to have found evidence of life on Mars has sparked a mystery after suddenly axing one of the world's biggest UFO websites.
An alleged skull found on the surface of Mars by UFO hunter Scott C Waring.
Scott C Waring has spent the last seven years reporting alleged UFO sightings every 24 hours on his website ufosightingsdaily.com.
It had grown to become one of the most well-known UFO websites in the world, with its reports regularly followed up by media across the globe.
Mr Waring also published the results of his own "research" on the website, which involved spending hours looking through images placed online by NASA of the Martian surface looking for signs of alien life.
The conspiracist produced several reports claiming to have found creatures which resembled animal species on Earth, including a giant mouse, baboons, a bear, and crabs.
He also claimed to have found fossils and skeletal remains of an ancient humanoid civilisation he claimed once inhabited the Red Planet.
But Mr Waring, who had posted each day this month, suddenly stopped on Friday, releasing his final post.
He wrote: "My last post. Thanks for the seven years of support. We have accomplished a lot together."
He said he started the blog as a place to defend UFO witnesses, who often faced ridicule.
"Now that happens less," he added.
He said that pressure from readers of his website had pressured NASA into axing a decision to stop a live feed camera on the International Space Station - which was another source on many of the UFO sightings on the website.
He said: "The cams are still up, years later.
"We posted some amazing sightings and discoveries along those seven years and we have made it to major news sites like CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox News and even New Scientist which said I was making a new area of science."
But after saying ridicule against UFO hunters was less frequent now, he appeared to blame it for his own decision to quit.
This is serious stuff that has depths that even I can't fathom. It deservers serious thought and research, not contempt and ridicule.
Scott C Waring
He said: "I think it's changed. It was educational before, it was enlightening before, it was even comforting somehow knowing the truth, but it seems to have taken a turn as entertainment.
"That was never my intention. This is serious stuff that has depths that even I can't fathom. It deservers serious thought and research, not contempt and ridicule."
His departure has had mixed reviews among other UFO buffs.
Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual, told Express.co.uk: "I think he was genuinely trying to find and share UFO sightings and anomalies captured by the cameras of the International Space Station and other space vehicles, but the sheer quantity of his 'discoveries' undermined their quality.
"This has led to criticism and inevitably ridicule, and the sad fact is that the subject relies on sensation and entertainment rather than searching for genuine evidence or data.
"I think Scott, like many others who become involved with the UFO subject, got obsessed with seeing evidence of UFOs and aliens everywhere.
"How many people really believe his photographic evidence that everything from massive skyscrapers to squirrels exist on the surface of Mars.
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."
UFO hunters claim that an image taken by NASA’s Mars Curiosity Rover shows an ancient tree stump on the surface of the Red Planet.
Media: Fox - M9nj
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.
Here at Chron.com the work of Waring and his team of contributors have offered up a unique diversion for readers wanting to see squirrels and groundhogs on Mars or UFOs flying by the "BE SOMEONE" graffiti on I-45.

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.
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.”

Guess this might be what I would you expect to hear from someone in the model airplane community who isn't thinking critically. Seems Mr. Hanson thinks the best defense is a good offense. I would suggest Mr. Hanson do some serious flying with someone at his local airport, especially in some urban area and explain to the pilot how a 2 or 3 lb "rock" flying towards the windshield is not an issue. A small bird is an issue when it hits a light aircraft...a "drone" is a deadly projectile and not to be taken lightly.
It is happening much more often than he implies. I would suggest that the "vast number" of sightings that we pilots are seeing are not UFO's and in reality more often an RC model than not. What a stupid premise to suggest. What some in the modeling community fail (or just refuse) to recognize is that the "vast" majority of these aircraft are being operated by people without the requisite knowledge to operate in the National Airspace and all that comes with that...and I would suggest that it is quite a bit more than a few bad apples...many people just understand what they are dealing with when they launch one of these things from their back yard.
I grew up as a modeler myself, but learned quite a bit at the local flying field before flying my own airplane...granted, the deal was quite different many years ago in the RC world with limited radio frequencies and such which served to naturally restrict the flying to a small area with line of sight for the most part. Now, you can go down to the local hobby shop and buy an aircraft and in minutes launch it into harm's way using GPS and not even having to fly it...just send wherever it suits your fancy. Mr. Hanson does no one any favors by diminishing the issue by trying to pawn off the problem on pilots reporting flying plastic bags as drones. Please.
