When Flying Discs Invaded Our Skies For The First Time | 70th Anniversary of The Beginning of a New Epoch - PART II
When Flying Discs Invaded Our Skies For The First Time | 70th Anniversary of The Beginning of a New Epoch - PART II
Part II
Thomas E. Bullard
Seventy years have passed since Kenneth Arnold reported the first “flying saucer,” the biblical threescore-and-ten that comprises the years of a natural lifespan. Perhaps this anniversary more than any other marks a symbolic moment in the history of the subject, a time to evaluate what we have learned, to look ahead, and to ask hard questions.
Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos is a legendary name in ufology. He has a sterling reputation for research and thought, a long and deep familiarity with the field in all its aspects. When he speaks, the wise pause to listen, and his reflections in “The Nature of UFO Evidence” carry a special weight.
His thoughts in this article express not the usual pep talk to the faithful, or a statement of progress made, or of plans for future research. His topic is heavier, his tone somber and mournful. He wonders, has the subject of UFOs run its course? Has the time come to admit that its life has reached an end?
He recalls that he took up UFO study with the same youthful enthusiasm that so many of us remember, drawn by the hope that beings from other planets were visiting the earth and a desire to be on the cutting edge in solving the greatest mystery of all time. He has shared the disappointment that many of us have felt when the years passed and the desired solution continued to elude us.
Unlike some proponents, Ballester Olmos has not closed his eyes to the shortcomings of ufology, or committed himself to defend the phenomenon in spite of all reason. On the contrary, he has confronted the evidence with clear-eyed scientific judgment, and concludes that despite enormous time and effort invested in UFO research, no convincing evidence has resulted to indicate that extraterrestrial spacecraft have visited the earth.
The thoughts our colleague has written for this occasion do not call us to redouble our efforts and soldier onward; rather they serve as an obituary for a failed quest. I do not want to hear that we have tilted at windmills for decades, but sadly, I have to agree with most of what he says.
Ballester Olmos argues that UFOs constitute a mythic belief rather than a phenomenon accessible to science. The basis of the belief rests on genuine sightings but the sightings themselves reduce to conventional phenomena, reshaped into something strange by ideas of what UFOs are, how they should look, and what they do. The operational term here is ideas rather than an objective truth that corresponds to them. The extraterrestrial theory quickly took control of the popular understanding of UFOs. Ufologists accepted this proposition, the news and entertainment media promoted it, and witnesses conformed their reports to the expectations it sowed. Reports multiplied and grew stranger as both witnesses and ufologists made emotional commitments to their beliefs. The story expanded, its supporters rationalized and defended it, and in the end they enclosed themselves in their bubble of belief, a mythic narrative self-confirming and impervious to challenge that had taken on the semblance of truth.
Although ufologists seek to portray their efforts as science, the evidence they gather does not meet scientific standards. It is voluminous but largely anecdotal and subject to the shortcomings of human observation, the illusions, misperceptions, and preconceptions that can turn Venus into a shining spaceship about to land. With UFO evidence no replication is possible, no controlled experiments, no predictions, no falsification. Photographs are abundant but almost invariably questionable either as conventional phenomena or as hoaxes. No convincing physical trace, no alien technology, has ever fallen into human hands except as rumors. Consistencies in UFO data are few and mostly of the broad stereotypical type that could be borrowed from popular expectations, and the properties reported for UFOs are indistinguishable from properties reported for IFOs. The subject has undergone scientific investigation and been debated in more than one official forum but no reason to credit a genuine unknown phenomenon has emerged. A complaint that science ignores the UFO evidence is really a complaint that UFOs have not produced any evidence worthy to attract scientific attention.
There are certainly anomalous UFO cases. They lend a sense of mystery, but any great mass of evidence based on human observation will have a residue of unexplained cases. Their unknown status is more likely due to human factors, like a tendency to combine unrelated observations and ascribe a desired meaning to them, than to a distinctive unknown phenomenon. No standout recurrences distinguish the body of unknowns as coherent and unique. Even the best cases diminish in number under close skeptical investigation, suggesting with ever-growing likelihood that UFOs are not objective phenomena but products of human imagination, error, expectation, and desire. UFOs come from inner space, from the human imagination and myth-making capability. They provide subject matter for sociologists, psychologists, folklorists, and the like, but in the end Condon was right: The study of UFOs contributes nothing to physical scientific knowledge, much less proof of alien visitation.
This reckoning is hard but fair. It exposes ufology as so barren in its results that anyone who doubts that this is the last word pretty much convicts him- or herself as a committed true believer. For my part I agree with the reasoning of the argument, yet I still cannot accept the absoluteness of the conclusion. I still find some substance among UFO reports and see a path, albeit narrow, that may lead to a true anomalous phenomenon, and without detours into the “alternative facts” of UFO mythology.
Both Ballester Olmos and I agree that UFOs are mythic in character. I think we also agree that the appropriate sense of “myth” here is not the mere false belief of popular usage, or the slightly more sophisticated sense of a way of understanding experiences that is not acknowledged by authoritative consensus. UFOs are mythic because a complex system of facts, alleged facts, understandings, arguments, and speculations have grown up around them. Many people accept all or part of this system and view some aspects of the world as if UFOs were factual truths, even though both the evidence and the interpretations attributed to UFOs remain in question. UFO ideas shape entertainment and imagination. They become part of informal education and inform expectations of things to see in the sky. The myth influences—or contaminates—perception, conception, memory, verbal formulation, communication, argumentation, in other words every aspect of the UFO narrative and discussions about it. We do not hear of, speak of, or even observe a pure phenomenon. Our relationships with UFOs are always mediated by the myth.
UFOs as we know them are indisputably human products serving human purposes, but the myth is not necessarily everything. People still see something. Often the object of observation is conventional but rendered strange by the distorting influences of the myth. Sometimes, perhaps, the object observed is strange in itself and rendered into suitable “UFO” form by the force of expectation and the need to assign an unknown to an understandable category. The myth distorts both ways.
A toxic entanglement between observation and comprehension is the common lot of humankind. The situation grows worse in the case of UFOs since official understandings seem inadequate or unsatisfying and unofficial versions take over. Ufology presents vivid examples of extreme distortion, like the case of a satellite reentry in 1968 where several people reported windows and hull plating on an object at treetop level, when the actual stimulus was half a dozen flaming fragments a hundred miles overhead in the upper atmosphere. Yet the appearance of anomalous sights does not automatically spell the end of objectivity. Many more observers of this reentry described it accurately whether or not they identified it for what it was. Considerable evidence confirms that people deserve more credit than they receive as observers of strange sights in the sky. For example a 12th-century monk, John of Worcester, entered a detailed account in his chronicle that we now recognize as a fine example of a large and brilliant meteor. He limited himself to a clear description of a phenomenon unknown to him without any effort to force the sighting into a medieval interpretive scheme.
Are UFOs mythic? Of course they are, and our human bias will always threaten to muddle observations, our human efforts to give meaning to experiences will intrude on the facticity of the objects we wish to understand. These complications are inescapable but not necessarily fatal. A disease can be explained as the result of germs, humors, or witchcraft, but while the interpretations differ, the disease remains the same and all too real. UFOs can be both mythic and phenomenal at the same time. This duality complicates the job of understanding, but we can live with it and work around it by learning to separate the human contributions from the objective basis.
The fundamental unit in any argument for UFOs is the individual sighting. At least one UFO report must describe a genuine unknown phenomenon or the case in favor of UFOs collapses as empty. We know what we want—a landing on the White House lawn, a piece of unmistakably unearthly technology, indisputable instrumental records. We do not have these Holy Grails. What we have are vast numbers of witness reports describing lights in the night or fleeting objects in the distance, claims of close encounters and occupants without firm evidence to back them up, indefinite landing traces and ambiguous radar contacts and photos that may be fakes. The great majority of these reports have conventional answers or lie in a broad “gray area” where nothing can be proved either way. No wonder Ballester Olmos has grown cynical. Anyone who has confronted these mountains of disappointment feels the pangs of despair
At the same time, ufology does have a collection of unsolved cases that is significant in size and meaningful in evidential value. These cases describe unknowns not just in the trivial sense of insufficient information or nobody has really tried to solve them, but in a robust sense of cases rich in description, provocative in strangeness, and impervious to conventional solution even though skeptics have attempted time and again to explain them. Astronomer Lincoln La Paz and others saw a white rounded object maneuver during daylight in 1947. He was able to triangulate it and calculate its speed. Its actions distinguished it from either a balloon or an aircraft. In 1968 the crew of a B-52 approached Minot AFB when a very large object appeared on radar, heading toward the plane and turning away just before a collision. At the behest of ground control the plane circled the area and observed a large glowing object on the earth below. These highly trained personnel confirmed the presence of an unknown object also detected from the ground by radar and visual witnesses. Multiple persons at O’Hare Airport in 2006 saw a disk-shaped object just below the cloud deck. The object rose and punched a “cookie-cutter” hole in the clouds, a process that would require a great deal of heat energy. Cases such as these offer multiple quality witnesses and instrumental support or the chance to “do some science” with results that suggest an unusual phenomenon. Here is the foundation for a genuine and puzzling UFO phenomenon.
Ballester Olmos readily admits that ufology has its unknowns. His concern is that they do not remain unknowns forever and yield sooner or later to conventional solution. This course has certainly become familiar. The Yukon “giant mother ship” UFO of 1996 and the Phoenix Lights of 1997 attracted a great deal of attention among ufologists. These cases seemed strong until skeptics provided convincing explanations of a satellite reentry for one and a flight of military aircraft for the other. Yet the skeptics are not always the safe bet. The Exeter case of 1965 has had numerous solutions, some that actually addressed the sighting and some that were laughable, but the skeptics took their best shot when they attributed the UFO to a refueling aircraft. This was an intelligent proposal but it fell apart under close analysis; so have all the others. About one-fourth of the cases investigated by the Condon Committee emerged as unknowns. Some cases, among them the best in the files, do seem to be “ironclads” defensible against conventional solutions. Conversely, some explanations such as Blue Book personnel used to clear their docket of difficult reports, amount to no more than slipshod excuses that explain nothing. A number of explanations succeed only as reminders that the rationalizing of skeptics can distort the truth as grievously as the credulousness of UFO enthusiasts.
In this light a readiness to give up on UFOs seems premature. New cases continue to enter the “unknowns” pool—for recent examples consider the Southern Illinois police chase case of 2000, the O’Hare sighting, and MUFON’s “phone receiver” object of 2013. Since a high standard ought to apply to explanations as well as to unknowns, older cases explained in dubious terms deserve to be thrown back into the pool. We may not have the full story from the Government files, either. I have never favored conspiracy theories, but I have noticed the abundance of quality unknowns from military and civilian pilots in 1947. After 1952 military reports became scarce in Blue Book files and unknowns of any sort diminished to a trickle. This change follows JANAP 146 and AFR 200-2, regulations that barred both military and civilian pilots from revealing UFO sightings to the press, and the Robertson Panel, which created a policy of defusing public interest in UFOs. A sudden end to pilots seeing UFOs seems unlikely. Perhaps rumors of a dual system—Blue Book that was a public relations front, and a hidden system that secluded reports of the highest quality—have substance after all. And if so, significant files comprising a “ufologica irredenta” may yet await the light of day deep in the bowels of Government secrecy.
A healthy body of unknowns even now underlies the UFO mystery. These cases hint that the apparent downward spiral of unknowns toward zero, or to a minimal residue of intractable rather than truly anomalous events, may be an historical illusion rather than an inevitability after all. Perhaps some consistent level of unknowns persists throughout UFO history. The level of occurrence may be a low one, but a stream of “ironclads” duly recognized might emerge as a clear signal in the noise. Shouldn’t we at least consider this hypothesis before we surrender the phenomenon altogether?
Nothing stings ufologists so painfully as the rejection of their subject by official science. They regard their enterprise as scientific and crave approval, only to find themselves like small children closed out of the game by the big kids at the gate. Complaints that scientists do not listen or ignore the facts overlook the nature of UFO evidence. It is sloppy in the extreme, overwhelmingly anecdotal and intangible. UFOs offer little or nothing to carry into the laboratory for analysis or experiment. The rare exceptions have proved inconclusive or at least not compelling. This empty-handedness along with a reputation as pseudoscience assure that ufology will continue to get the brush-off from laboratory scientists.
Field science offers an alternative approach that is more congenial to the nature of UFO events. When scientists cannot control their object of study, they must approach it on its own terms, in its native environment, and gather observational data for indirect analysis. This model sounds like a good match for UFO reports, though with the added complications that the observers are numerous and widely-scattered individuals with differing temperaments, abilities, and expectations, who witness rare and ephemeral sights in the sky, most of which turn out to be false alarms. The witnesses most likely to report probably have preconceived notions and biases. No standardization in the observational process and little in the descriptions of sightings is possible. Face-to-face meetings between investigator and witness are rare. The resulting data is raw in the worst sense—heterogeneous, inconsistent, and suitable only for crude analysis. UFOs make unruly subjects even for field techniques.
If individual reports of unknowns comprise the foundation of a case for UFOs, patterns of consistency in these reports add the next essential layer. Each separate unknown may be impressive in itself but only multiple cases with significant similarities build evidence for a recurrent phenomenon. Without this support the unknowns remain random oddities and may have no further significance. With a consistent pattern to unify them, these oddities begin to acquire an identity. Unknowns and their patterns provide mutual support and the case in favor of UFOs grows at once in strength—if, of course, we find such patterns.
The typical studies applied to mass UFO data are statistical comparisons, either content analysis for consistent descriptions of appearances and activities or frequency searches for patterns in the time and place of UFO events. These efforts have led to limited results. A finding like more UFOs are seen in early evening than at any other time may be consistent but not surprising, while discovering that UFO reports are more frequent on one weekday than on any other comes as a surprise but carries no apparent meaning. Searches for a recurrence pattern in UFO waves have led to predictive successes but they did not hold true for very long and might have been artefactual after all. Content analyses that show most UFOs are round and most occupants are short humanoids enjoy an unmistakable robustness, but as Ballester Olmos warns, such findings hold equally true for IFO cases and reflect popular images.
This sort of analysis offers ufology its best option to make a case for UFOs with the data in hand. Rather than waiting for a piece of spaceship to fall into our laps, or for the Government to show us the bodies, all those intriguing cases we have accumulated transform from dusty files into tools for actual scientific work. But have we tried and failed at this enterprise already? I don’t think so. From my own experience, a comparison between abduction reports with high reliability and those of low reliability revealed that consistency in sequence of events and descriptive content was much higher in the high-reliability cases. In the low-reliability cases where presumably more of the stories were hoaxes or fantasies, plots and content varied far more. A comparison of two samples of UFO occupant cases found stronger preferences for certain descriptive options among the high reliability reports than in the general run.
The reason behind these consistencies might be cultural influence or investigator bias, but actual observation in contrast to imagination might also be the cause. At least the possibility is worth exploring. So many IFO reports in the sample, so many human errors and shortcomings in descriptions plague the record that they threaten to smother the signal from the very much smaller body of UFOs. In the past good minds have had to work with bad data limited in both quantity and quality, and the disappointing results come as no surprise. Today we have much larger samples and data of better quality to escape the garbage in-garbage out problem that dogged earlier efforts. I see reason to believe that some distinctive consistencies in the phenomenon may yet be forthcoming, and that reliance on quality cases as the database will reveal those consistencies in sharper relief. At least the effort should be made before we give up the spaceship.
Vicente-Juan invited me to collaborate in a dialogue of views on UFOs for this 70th anniversary event. He may not have expected quite so much difference in conclusions, but in fact we disagree on very little. His criticisms of ufology are on target and his exposure of its failures as a scientific enterprise are as necessary as they are painful. We differ only in the conclusions we draw. He is ready to drive nails in the coffin and lower ufology into the grave; I still see sparks of life and wish to avoid a premature burial. A very much alive Mark Twain once quipped that reports of his demise were greatly exaggerated. A similar pronouncement for UFOs may not stretch the truth quite so much, but even this 70th anniversary need not be the end of the line. Maybe I grasp at straws like a true believer still holding out, but I still perceive a mystery amid the clutter and avenues, or at least alleyways of research not yet explored, or not adequately followed up. Until that happens I will continue to see a future for ufology.
Valencia (Spain) and Bloomington (USA), June 24, 2017.
Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos worked 30 years for Ford Motor Co. in Spain as Analyst and Department Manager (Finance). An active investigator of the UFO phenomenon since 1966, he has authored 10 books and over 480 publications (see his bibliography athttp://cdufo.info/bib/bibliog1.pdf). He has delivered lectures in Europe and America and has been a staff member or consultant of the major UFO organizations in Spain as well as in foreign countries. A specialist in UFO “landing” reports in the Iberian Peninsula and in military-sourced UFO reports in Spain, he played a remarkable role in the declassification process of the Spanish Air Force UFO archives, 1992-1999. Since year 2000, Ballester Olmos manages the FOTOCAT Project, a database of reported UFO and IFO sightings where pictures, films, videos or digital images have been recorded, occurred up to December 31, 2005 (with over 12,200 entries). Married, father of two daughters and one son, he is an avid reader and a great fan of country music.

Thomas Eddie Bullard took an interest in UFOs as early as 1957 when he was eight years old. The interest persisted and he wrote his doctoral dissertation on the subject while a graduate student in folklore at Indiana University. He published studies of UFO abductions for the Fund for UFO Research and the Journal of UFO Studies, as well as The Myth and Mystery of UFOsfor the University Press of Kansas in 2010, a book comparing UFO accounts and beliefs with extranormal encounters in myth, religion, and folklore. He has served as a board member for both the Fund for UFO Research and the Center for UFO Studies. Recently retired, he continues to write on UFO phenomenology and pre-1947 anomalous aerial objects from his home in Bloomington, Indiana. E-mail address: tbullard@indiana.edu

Our sun, being the closest star to planet Earth, has long served as key to helping us understand the universe and its mechanics. While ancient civilizations worshipped it for it’s life-bringing light and heat, modern scientists study it to try to unlock secrets of the universe, learning things that might be applied to celestial bodies elsewhere in the cosmos.
It was recently announced that NASA’s Parker Solar Probe (previously called the Solar Probe Plus) will be sent skyward on a course for our star, and “swoop to within 4 million miles of the sun’s surface, facing heat and radiation like no spacecraft before it.” The Parker Solar Probe will be launched in 2018, and will “provide new data on solar activity and make critical contributions to our ability to forecast major space-weather events that impact life on Earth.”
We know a lot about the sun already, and of course, with the new information gained from the Parker Solar Probe’s mission, we can expect to learn even more in the coming years. But perhaps there are still some solar phenomena observed here on Earth from time to time that remain unexplained.
For example, is it possible that there could be atmospheric conditions that would cause the sun to appear to flash, producing an odd-looking “blinking” effect?
Admittedly, this sounds a pretty unlikely (if not a bit crazy), although a number of videos appearing on sites like YouTube these days purport to show this occurring, such as this one:
In most cases, it seems that the “phenomenon” in these videos appears to be related with the camera, rather than the sun itself, and what may be the device’s auto focus and exposure settings attempting to adjust when pointed directly at the sun while filming. Another, perhaps more likely explanation, is that when a camera focuses on the sun, what are often called “blown highlights” can occur, resulting from light being captured in a dynamic range that exceeds the range of the camera in question.
In the video below, one of the commenters makes a similar suggestion, noting that this footage which purports to show the sun “flashing” again might have resulted from someone adjusting the ISO settings on the camera, rather than an atmospheric strobing effect:
Apart from the “blown highlight” theory we’ve proposed, there is very little in the way of scientific information that describes flickering or flashing sunlight, nor anything that suggests what might cause something like this to happen, atmospheric or otherwise.
Despite the lack of scientific data, there are at least one or two articles and blogs that seem to reference this so-called “blinking sun” phenomenon. One interesting post, dated February 1, 2009, appeared at the blog of physicist Gordon Watts, appropriately titled, “The Sun Should Not Flicker!“. As Watts recounts, while flying from Seattle to Geneva he described his observation of a mild “flickering”, which had been visible on a portion of the aircraft for a short period. He also managed to film this mild strobing effect, which can be seen here, where the flickering appears on the aircraft itself, rather than as a result of focusing his camera on the sun.
“We were in very smooth air at the time,” Watts wrote, “so it couldn’t have been the bouncing of the plane. The only thing I could think of was there were some clouds on the horizon that were blowing by and obscuring the sun briefly. Unfortunately, without opening the plane door, I couldn’t check! Is that it?”
“Whatever it was – it was very spooky,” Watts concluded. “The sun is supposed to be rock solid!”
Commenters on Watt’s post claimed to have observed similar things in the past. In a reply dated August 17, 2011, a commenter named “Bob” responded saying, “I have sungazed (sic) for years and noticed how the solar disc appears to not only flicker, but also gyrates. It is no optical illusion as I have seen it through reflections and between tree branches. No one has been able to confirm what I see much less why it does this.”
The description of flickering observed “between tree branches” sounds a bit suspect. However, another comment, dated April 17, 2017, was shared by a Tennessee resident named George Walker, who described a group of people that claimed to witness this “flickering” around sunset.
“Saw it flickering and pulsating at sunset in Tn. on Easter Sunday April 2017,” Walker wrote. “There was a smaller, reddish sun or planet, about half in size, directly below our Sun. Everything was clearly visible and witnessed by many in the neighborhood.”
As for the “smaller, reddish sun or planet” Walker described seeing directly below the sun, who knows precisely what this was in reference to. Granted, a variety of atmospheric conditions can lead to similar, unusual looking manifestations, such as the “green flash”, where prismatic effects in the atmosphere cause sudden “flashes” and changes of color just as the sun sets over the horizon.
We’d be interested in hearing from any readers that have observed this sort of “flashing”, particularly if it was observed with the naked eye, rather than merely on camera (since the videos alleging to show this phenomena make it difficult to discern whether this is a lighting adjustment with the device, or the “blown highlights” we discussed earlier). Feel free to use the comments section below, or you can also send us an email with your report here.
The December 1980 events in Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, England are seen by many UFO researchers as prime evidence for the existence of extraterrestrials in our midst. Far less attention, however, is paid to other seldom discussed cases which occurred in the direct vicinity of the forest. Two such cases – also from the 1980s – are worth noting. It was in the autumn of 1983 – specifically late October – when the people of the verynearby village of Hollesley collectively found themselves in an extremely strange situation.
Witnesses in the village described seeing – late at night – a large, dark-colored, silent, triangular-shaped aircraft which hovered over Hollesley for around a quarter of an hour. Three powerful lights were seen below the UFO, all of which lit up the ground in spectacular fashion. Of the many and various people who saw the strange craft, one was Ron Macro. He told the media, who were soon onto the story: “We froze. The lights were in a triangle and remained perfectly still. Whatever was in the sky flew over us. The lights beamed down and we heard a high-pitched whine.”
Other witnesses came forward, including Pauline Osborne and Debbie Foreman. They were driving by Hollesley at the time the UFO put in its appearance and were lucky enough to see it at fairly close quarters. It was as they got closer to the object that something very strange happened: the engine of Debbie’s car began to splutter and malfunction. The headlights dimmed and, finally, the engine briefly cut out completely. Debbie said: “Until then the car had behaved quite normally. But everything seemed to go wrong.” Those familiar with the history of Ufology will know that so-called “vehicle interference” cases are not uncommon within the subject.
Not surprisingly, the people of Hollesley insisted that a spokesperson from the close by Royal Air Force Woodbridge base give them an explanation. One of those who wanted an answer was John Button. He gave his views to the media: “If they are experimenting then we ought to be told. And if there’s something flying around here which comes from outer space, we ought to be told about that too.”
A noticeably brief reply came from Captain Kathleen McCollom, who would only say: “Nothing was seen on radar. I cannot say more than that.”
Ten months later, there occurred yet another encounter, this time over Rendlesham Forest itself. The crew of a Britten-Norman Trislander freight aircraft had a collision with…well…with something. Luckily, the damage was not too severe. But, it was certainly bad enough. The U.K.’s Civil Aviation Authority quickly looked into the matter. A document that has surfaced from the CAA states the following:
“24 August 84 Ipswich – UK Reportable Accident: A/C [Aircraft] struck object in cruise. Propeller, fuselage, cowling and control runs damaged. The A/C was flying in slight turbulence when a bump was felt. Just before descent the right hand engine control was found to be seized so an asymmetric approach & landing was executed. On inspection it was apparent that the left propeller had struck an unidentified object, propelling it through the cabin roof, with a piece exiting through a window. There were several holes in the fuselage & damage to the engine, aileron & rudder trim cables. Three pieces of foreign metallic object were found, including a small cylindrical magnet. The UFO has not been identified. No information received concerning nature or origin of UFO.”
Of course, it’s important to note that for the Civil Aviation Authority the term “UFO” did not mean “alien spacecraft.” The CAA meant an unidentified flying object in literal terms, and nothing else. But, it is intriguing that of all the places the curious collision could have occurred it was over Rendlesham Forest!
PENTAGON'S NEWEST WEAPON PROJECT IS BASICALLY A WEAPONIZED METEOR STRIKE
PENTAGON'S NEWEST WEAPON PROJECT IS BASICALLY A WEAPONIZED METEOR STRIKE
Back in the 1950s, Jerry Pournelle imagined what would be the equivalent of the extinction of dinosaurs for the military and today the kinetic energy projectile weapon of the Pentagon is more along the lines of a weaponized meteor strike.
The United States Army veteran was a Boeing operations researcher in 1949 after the Manhattan Project and the first lightning nuclear test of the Soviet Union. He imagined a weapon system that did not have chemical explosive or munitions, but instead huge rods that had been forged from heavy metal that would be dropped from heights that were sub-orbital. The New York Times called them tungsten bolts and said that they would be able to impact the strongholds of the enemies and obliterate fortified targets, without any mess from nuclear fallout.
The weapon imagined by Pournelle was given the name of Project Thor, while others named it the Rods From Gods. However, when it comes to reality the weapons researchers call it kinetic energy projectile, a very fast and super dense projectile that is able to operate without complex systems or volatile chemicals and it can destroy everything that falls into its path.
The idea of kinetic weapons being able to fall down on enemies with a velocity that is deadly is not a concept that is novel. Airmen deployed Lazy Dog bombs after World War II, which were inert and which traveled at terminal velocity to the battlefields in Vietnam and Korea.
KEPS HAVE BEEN USED BY MILITARY FOR DECADES
Gravity has not always be needed, as for many decades the military has used kinetic energy penetrators that were ultra-dense, with the name of KEPs, which were shells in an outer shell specially designed to be fired at high velocity instead of being dropped out of the sky.
It does not matter if they are fired out of a cannon or dropped from the sky as they have the same idea behind them; hit the enemy with something that is dense, moving fast and very hard. The kinetic energy projectile may arrive as a staple in modern warfare far sooner than anyone thinks.
KINETIC ENERGY PROJECTILE WAS TESTED IN 2013
The U.S Air Force 846th Test Squadron along with civilian researchers in 2013 at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, managed to test fire a kinetic energy projectile which was a shell rich in tungsten that traveled at around 3,500 feet per second, which is three times the speed of sound. The Pentagon have more recently tested out electromagnetic rain guns of the Navy with hypervelocity projectiles and the Navy is hoping that a completed cannon is going to be able to launch shells six times the speed of sound at 4,500mph.
Matt Weingart, a weapons program development manager at Lawrence Livermore said that explosives are dazzling when it comes to being destructive; however, there is elegance to the kinetic energy projectile.
He went on to say that the classic way of hurting a target has always been to pack plenty of chemical explosives into a container. The violence happens due to the chemical explosive that is inside the bomb and which sends off a blast wave, which is then followed by the fragment of the case of the bomb. The biggest difference with kinetic energy projectiles is the warhead arrives at the given target, and it is moving extremely fast. The energy propels the fragments and there is no need for chemical explosives to accelerate them. In short, the bigger the mass, the more violence it will cause.
Military researchers have been continuing to look into the applications on the battlefield that are able to take full advantage of high terminal speeds so that they can deliver more energy to the target than the chemical explosives they carried would be able to deliver on their own, said Army Major General William Hix.
Hix said that it should be considered as a big shotgun shell and there would not be much that would be able to survive it. He went on to say that anyone inside the main battle tank might be able to survive, but it would render the vehicle non-operational and everything not inside the tank would be dead.
There is more to the KEP than just being elegant along with being cost-effective. The hyper-sonic shell was designed to be able to defeat any armor of the enemy and totally obliterate structures along with equipment, whether it is fired from the ground or deployed by aerial means. Hix has the vision of being able to rain down violence over a large area without there being risk to hardware and military personnel.
KINETIC ENERGY PROJECTILE COULD COUNTER RUSSIA TACTICAL NUCLEAR STOCKPILE
There is another main purpose for the kinetic energy projectiles that just being able to rain down violence. Planners at the Pentagon may think of it as being a counter to the tactical nuclear stockpile of Russia. Hix said that warheads might be seen on battlefields of the future along with weapons that are more conventional thanks to miniaturization efforts that are ongoing.
The applications of it are theoretical for the time being and more than likely the floating Thors hammer circling around the planet is some decades away. However, if kinetic energy projectiles make their way into warfare and they are found to be efficient, they could come across new delivery systems for destruction in the battlefield, with effects that could be devastating and which might beat the MOAB as being the Pentagons most violent non-nuclear weapon.
ROSWELL UFO CASE UPDATE - DEPUTY SHERIFF: 'THEY WERE HAULING A BIG CREATURE'
ROSWELL UFO CASE UPDATE - DEPUTY SHERIFF: 'THEY WERE HAULING A BIG CREATURE'
“They were hauling a big creature” claims a Deputy Sheriff who was there during the most remarkable UFO crash in the history. Deputy Sheriff Charles Fogus says in a new testimony he saw a crashed flying saucer and extraterrestrials who looked like the ones we know see on Television - the Grey aliens.
UFOs will be on the horizon at a conference in Swansea
The truth could be out there in Swansea on Saturday.
Swansea UFO Network (SUFON) is holding it’s summer Conference on Saturday at the New Lodge, Alexandra Road, in Gorseinon, with an invitation to come along and hear about some local mysteries.
There will be three visiting speakers, David Cayton, David Hodrien and Colin Woolford, all of whom are well known in the UFO field, and who will be speaking on a variety of subjects, from UFOs seen over Jodrell Bank Radio Telescope, cases involving UFOs and the RAF, how the subject and personal experiences has influenced notable names in the music industry, and the controversial alien autopsy film.
Tickets for the conference, which runs from 11am to 5pm, are £10 each and available on the door.
Emlyn Williams, a spokesman for SUFON, said there would be plenty of local sightings to discuss.
He said: “This year sees the 40th anniversary of one of the most famous UFO flaps in Britain, that coined the Welsh Triangle, and SUFON organised a conference last February at Broad Haven in Pembrokeshire , site of one of the best known cases during that flap when a group of school children saw a landed craft just outside the school playground.”
Here are some of the unexplained UFO cases in Swansea:
The Night of the Triangles:
“One case which is being looked at by SUFON is the one which occurred on the evening of January 19, 1983, when dozens of witnesses in the Swansea and Port Talbot area (over 60 recorded so far), saw huge black triangular-shaped craft, some the size of jumbo jets, some the size of a family car, hovering silently just over roof-tops, two of which moved slowly and silently over Swansea Bay, and one possibly causing a power failure in Bishopston.”
“We call it The Night of the Triangles and we are tracking down many of the witnesses, and filming interviews which have been put on SUFON’s YouTube channel. Two witnesses were CID inspectors making a house call in the Trallwn area of Swansea who saw a huge craft ‘about the size of a football pitch’ moving over the valley and heading towards the coast.”
A suspected UFO sighting over Swansea
The refinery incident:
“Another sighting that evening, from a family at home in Skewen , was of a gigantic triangle - which moved from Kilvey Hill to Llandarcy in an instant, and which then hovered over the BP oil refinery. The size was truly huge, covering much of the refinery!”
The vanishing cigar:
“Another large and very strange case was of a massive black cigar-shaped object which hovered silently over the newly-built Singleton Hospital in Swansea, on a November evening in 1965, causing the lights on all the floors to flash on and off. A green line appeared in the middle of the object, which spread right around it, and the whole thing just disappeared in an instant in front of witnesses’ eyes.”
Mr Williams added: “It is safe to say that there have been and still are, very strange things going on in our skies.”
Anyone who can’t make it but has a sighting they wish to share is invited to get in touch with SUFON.
“Anyone with experiences of their own, please get in touch, identities will be kept confidential if requested. Call 07954 806402 or 07399990985, or email swanseaufonet@yahoo.com. SUFON also has a Facebook page - Swansea UFO Network.”
Do you think there are otherworldly beings among us? Have they perhaps penetrated our atmosphere simply to check us out?
I recently searched youtube for videos of UFO sightings over Connecticut and found dozens, but not one of them made me a believer. I confess that I’ve never seen or had an encounter with a UFO or any type of alien being. I’ve never been beamed up by a spaceship, where I was poked and prodded or had my prostate checked, and then dropped off in an empty field in Harrodsburg, Kentucky.
Let’s take a look at five YouTube videos that claim they witnessed a UFO over Connecticut. This first video was taken in New Milford on October 6, 2011:
After viewing this video, I suspect that the individual filming this was holding an expensive kaleidoscope in front of the camera lens or got his hands on some Maui Waui weed, which is known to cause the user to see colors.
This next video was taken on December 29, 2014 in Old Saybrook during daylight hours. You will notice that the two dudes in the car describing this UFO are talking about a cloud that is in the shape of a UFO. Can you say, “wake and bake”?
This next UFO video was shot at night over New Britain in the month of August of 2012. Honestly, I don’t know what to make of what they saw, but the conversation between these two guys proves they’ve mastered the placement of the F-bomb in a sentence.
Video number 3 was taken in February of 2014 in Danbury. You will see a wobbling white light that might just be an alien spacecraft, but I really don’t think so. I’ve read somewhere that drinking a case of Natty Ice on an empty stomach is the catalyst for making a so-called spaceship video.
This next supposed UFO video was shot in June of 2016, and is the most realistic of the five because it shows a crowd of water lovers at a Connecticut beach gawking at what they suspect is the real deal. Who’s to say on this one?
Why would beings from another galaxy or solar system waste their time putting on a show for a bunch of weekend beach-goers? I suspect it was someone with an expensive state of the art drone attempting to scare the shit out of as many people as possible.
I’m curious to know your thoughts on these possible UFO sightings. Have you ever seen an unidentified flying object? Were you sober or trashed when you saw this flying saucer? Please comment at your earliest convenience. Thank you, or in Klingon, “qatlho!”
Artist's concept of a swarm of comets surrounding a star. The comet swarm was once one of the leading explanations behind the unusual dimming of Tabby's Star, but astronomers haven't turned up any corroborating evidence of such a swarm yet.
IMAGE COURTESY NASA/JPL-CALTECH
Tabby's Star is arguably the most mysterious – and controversial – star in our galaxy.
Observed by NASA's Kepler space telescope, the star shot to fame when citizen scientists studying the mission's data noticed the star dim and flicker dramatically between 2011 and 2013. Hypotheses about this weird behavior abound, but not a single one seems to fully explain what's going on. The lack of an obvious answer has fueled speculation that an advanced alien civilization is building a "megastructure" around the star that we call Tabby's Star.
Now, the star has mysteriously dipped in brightness again, raising hopes that the world's astronomers have caught the star in the act and that a clear explanation of the star's true nature may be coming soon.
Kepler's Mysterious Star
Kepler's mission is to search for extrasolar planets – or "exoplanets" – that orbit other stars, and it does this by detecting the very slight dimming of stars as exoplanets pass in front (events known as "transits"). Thousands of alien worlds have been detected during this profound mission, revealing the incredible bounty of planets that exist in our galaxy. In fact, there aren't enough scientists to properly analyze the huge quantities of data that the mission is producing. Enter citizen scientists.
The Planet Hunters crowdsourcing project makes Kepler observations available to hundreds of thousands of participants and significant exoplanet discoveries are being made.
For example, during Kepler's primary mission, one of the targets was KIC 8462852, an average F-type main-sequence star located 1,300 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. But the Planet Hunters found this star to be very special; it became clear that the brightness variations that KIC 846285 was exhibiting were not your run-of-the-mill exoplanet transit signals – this was an entirely different beast.
The so-called "light-curve" of the star (basically the intensity of starlight that Kepler was detecting over time) was a mess. From 2011 to 2013, there were extreme dips and periods of interference, suggesting that there were many objects in orbit around the star. And some of these objects had to be very large to explain how much starlight they were blocking from view. One dip dimmed the star by an incredible 22 percent. Considering the most massive gas giant exoplanets will dim a star's brightness by a meager 1 percent, this hinted at the extreme nature of the object(s) in orbit about the star.
A paper detailing these results was made available on the arXiv pre-print service in October 2015 (and later accepted for publication in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society). The star was nicknamed "Tabby's Star" (or "Boyajian's Star") after astronomer Tabetha S. Boyajian who led the research.
To explain this strange transit signal, astronomers assumed there must be a vast cloud of dust around the star. But this didn't make a whole lot of sense; KIC 8462852 isn't a young star. Dusty rings of debris are usually found around very young stars that are in the process of creating planets.
Artist's concept of a young star with material coalescing around it. Such a cloud of material could conceivably account for a star's dimming, but Tabby's star doesn't exactly fit the profile as it's not a young star.
ESO/L. CALÇADA
Researchers then investigated the possibility that the dust might be caused by a chance planetary collision. A collision of this nature, however, would produce a specific heat signature, generating an excess of infrared radiation – but no such signature was discernible by follow-up observations.
What if a huge "swarm" of comets was gravitationally knocked into orbit about KIC 8462852 by a passing star? Might that be enough to cause sufficient dimming? Although this is one of the leading hypotheses that might explain this mystery, other observations of the star have failed to find corroborative evidence that such a swarm is even there.
Lacking an obvious answer, astronomers have been thinking a little more out of the box in hopes of explaining the KIC 8462852 light-curve. After the original Kepler result was announced, Boyajian hinted that "other scenarios" were being investigated and, in a now infamous interviewwith The Atlantic on Oct. 15, 2015, Penn State astronomer Jason Wright went into some detail about what one of these "other scenarios" could be.
"Aliens should always be the very last hypothesis you consider, but this looked like something you would expect an alien civilization to build," Wright said. Before this interview, Tabby's Star was a scientific curiosity. Now, Tabby's Star is a media sensation and is nicknamed the "Alien Megastructure Star."
Although it is more likely that KIC 8462852's weirdness likely has a natural explanation that has so far been overlooked by the astronomical community and aliens is the least likely explanation, this hypothesis doesn't seem to be going away.

But what kind of alien civilization could build something so big that it blots out the light from an entire star? And why would they want to do such a thing?
In 1964, Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev created the hypothetical "Kardashev scale" that describes the advancement of a civilization as their energy needs increase from a cosmic perspective.
It's hard not to be a little disappointed that a comet seems to have been behind the Wow! signal.
COMMONS/ART MONTES DE OCA/GETTY
It looks like one of the most famous signals in the history of searches for intelligent extraterrestrials wasn't triggered by chatty aliens after all – it was likely caused by a mischievous comet that was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
On Aug. 15, 1977, Ohio State University's Big Ear radio telescope was fixed on three star systems called Chi Sagittarii in the constellation of Sagittarius as part of a SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) project when it detected something weird.
For 72 seconds, a powerful burst of radio waves erupted from deep space. On reviewing the computer printout from that observing session a few days later, astronomer Jerry Ehman noticed the strange clump of letters and numbers. To the untrained eye, the digits are nothing more than a random computer burp. But to Ehman, the message was clear: An unprecedented narrowband radio signal had been received from deep space, and it looked artificial. Excited by the find, Ehman circled the cluster of letters and numbers, writing an exuberant "Wow!" on the printout.
"I mean, without thinking, I wrote "Wow!"" Ehman recalled during a 1994 interview. "It was the most significant thing we had seen."
As time went on, Ehman became skeptical that Big Ear had detected an alien transmission, saying: "Even if it were intelligent beings sending a signal, they'd do it far more than once." After dozens of investigations into that same region, he had settled on the idea that the signal was more likely a radio signal bouncing off space debris, like a defunct satellite, than anything SETI related.
Astronomers exhaustively continued to seek out natural explanations, but the popular view of the signal always tended toward the improbable (yet possible). Nearly four decades later, the "Wow!" signal has remained the most captivating pieces of evidence that alien life – an intelligent, transmitting alien civilization, no less – might exist in our galaxy.
But over the years, SETI astronomers have been frustrated by the lack of replication. Science is a stickler for replicating results, so while the Wow! signal was certainly interesting, until more Wow! signals are found, the 1977 detection was nothing more than an anomaly and a mysterious addition to the SETI annals.
Last year, however, Antonio Paris, an adjunct professor at Florida's St. Petersburg College and a former analyst for the U.S. Department of Defense, had an idea that would assess the Wow! signal's cause and, from November 2016 to February 2017, he tested his hypothesis.
Paris had been trying to find alternatives to the "alien explanation" of the Wow! radio burst, and he realized that the explanation might be a little closer to home.
Big Ear was tuned to a very specific radio frequency for good reason. The universe is filled with neutral hydrogen and, in this natural state, radiates radio waves at a frequency of 1420 megahertz. Any self-respecting alien astronomer would know this. By SETI logic, if we know 1420 megahertz is the most abundant radio emission in the known universe and they also know it, perhaps it is the perfect frequency to transmit on as there is some guarantee that other intelligent beings are observing at that frequency. There's an entire electromagnetic spectrum to transmit from, why not narrow down the odds from the get-go?
However, Paris pondered another possible emitter of 1420 megahertz radiation: comets. Comets contain large quantities of water ice and therefore release neutral hydrogen gas into space as they orbit the sun. At the time of the Big Ear observation, there were no known comets in the Chi Sagittarii observing region. But many comets have been discovered since then – might an undiscovered comet have "photobombed" the Big Ear 1977 observations?
Paris identified two cometary candidates, comets 266P/Christensen and 335P/Gibbs, which were discovered in 2006 and 2008 respectively that, after historic orbital analysis, would have placed them in the general vicinity of Chi Sagittarii on Aug. 15, 1977. And it just so happened that 266P/Christensen was soon making a return visit to the same patch of sky. So, between November 2016 and February 2017 an exhaustive observing campaign was carried out. This time, the detection was replicated, and it appears that aliens had nothing to do with the infamous Wow! signal.
"The investigation discovered that comet 266/P Christensen emitted a radio signal at 1420.25MHz," Paris writes in a study published in the Journal for the Washington Academy of Science. "All radio emissions detected were within 1° (60 arcminutes) of the known celestial coordinates of the comet as it transited the neighborhood of the "Wow!" Signal."
As part of the study, Paris also studied the emissions from a random selection of three other comets – P/2013 EW90 (Tenagra), P/2016 J1-A (PANSTARRS), and 237P/LINEAR – and found that, yes, they also produced a strong 1420 megahertz radio signal.
In short, this could be the last nail in the coffin for the alien explanation of the Wow! signal.
"The results of this investigation, therefore, conclude that cometary spectra are detectable at 1420 MHz and, more importantly, that the 1977 "Wow!" Signal was a natural phenomenon from a solar system body," Paris concludes, bluntly.
Zes planeten rondom TRAPPIST-1 hebben een aardachtige samenstelling
Zes planeten rondom TRAPPIST-1 hebben een aardachtige samenstelling
Tim Kraaijvanger
Zes van de zeven planeten in het planetaire systeem van TRAPPIST-1 hebben een aardachtige samenstelling. Dit concluderen wetenschappers op basis van duizenden simulaties van de planetenbanen.
TRAPPIST-1f is de enige planeet die anders is dan de rest. Deze exoplaneet bestaat voor 25 procent uit water. Dit is bijzonder, omdat de planeet ongeveer even groot is als de aarde, maar wel iets lichter is dan onze wereld. Omdat TRAPPIST-1f zo groot is, zorgt de luchtdruk ervoor dat water in stoom verandert. Vandaar dat het waarschijnlijk te warm is voor leven zoals we dat op aarde kennen.
“Het doel van de zoektocht naar exoplaneten is om planeten te vinden die lijken op de aarde en wellicht leefbaar zijn”, zegt onderzoeker Billy Quarles van de universiteit van Oklahoma. “Al duizenden jaren zoeken astronomen naar buitenaardse werelden waar leven mogelijk is.”
TRAPPIST-1 is een interessant systeem op zo’n veertig lichtjaar van de aarde. Het bestaat uit een moederster en zeven planeten die qua grootte vergelijkbaar zijn met de aarde. Zeker drie van deze planeten bevinden zich in de leefbare zone (en kunnen in theorie dus vloeibaar water herbergen).
De simulaties van Quarles laten zien dat zes van de zeven exoplaneten wel aardachtig zijn. Dit betekent dat ze grotendeels uit steen bestaan, net als onze planeet. De beste kandidaat voor leven is TRAPPIST-1e. En omdat de planeten zo dicht bij elkaar staan, kunnen eventuele levensvormen zich in theorie gemakkelijk van de ene naar de andere planeet begeven.
Het xenon in de xenonlamp van jouw auto heeft een buitenaardse oorsprong. Het edelgas is namelijk door kometen naar de aarde gebracht.
Xenon is in 1898 ontdekt, toen het edelgas als residu achterbleef tijdens het verdampen van vloeibare lucht. Het wordt gebruikt in bacteriële lampen, elektronenflitsers en in verschillende xenonlampen. In de atmosfeer van de aarde komt een klein beetje xenon voor: 0,05 ppm (deeltjes per miljoen). Dit betekent dat 0,000008% van de atmosfeer uit xenon bestaat. In vergelijking: onze atmosfeer bestaat voor ruim 78% uit stikstof en voor bijna 21% uit zuurstof.
Het zwaarste stabiele edelgas heeft negen verschillende isotopen. Maar waar komen die vandaan? Wetenschappers hebben daarvoor ESA’s Rosetta-ruimtesonde gebruikt. Dit ruimtevaartuig vloog de afgelopen jaren om de komeet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. De wetenschappers zagen hoe deze komeet xenon lekte, omdat de komeet de zon naderde en dus opwarmde. Het edelgas zat blijkbaar opgeslagen in het miljarden jaren oude komeetijs.
De onderzoekers hebben de samenstelling van xenon op 67P geanalyseerd en beweren in een nieuw paper dat het xenongas de ‘missing link’ is waar lang naar werd gezocht. De samenstelling van xenongas op aarde komt overeen met de signatuur van xenon op de komeet. De wetenschappers concluderen dat 22% van al het aardse xenon een kometaire oorsprong heeft.
When a number of UFOs violated Washington airspace in 1952, the entire country went on alert and the news spread nationwide. Shortly after the incident, President Harry Truman was forced to hold a press conference to address the event. After that conference, as well as the big UFO wave proceeding the atomic bomb, the subject was engulfed in secrecy.
Similar to the recent leaks revealing the extent of the NSA surveillance programs, the UFO subject went into the category of unacknowledged and waived Special Access Programs. According to a 1997 U.S. Senate report, these programs are “so sensitive that they are exempt from standard reporting requirements to the Congress.”
Former head of the CIA Roscoe Hilenkoetter put it best in 1960 when he told the nation that “behind the scenes, high ranking air force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense.” (source)
Today, it’s a different story. A number of governments and government agencies, as well as thousands of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, have all released previously classified files confirming the existence of UFOs. To compliment these, hundreds (if not thousands) of high-ranking whistleblowers have also shared their stories.
The topic is currently leaving the realm of the fringe and entering into the mainstream at a rapid pace. Just as there was evidence for UFOs, there is also evidence that some of them are indeed extraterrestrial in origin.
This is all becoming normalized, and more and more people are starting to open their mind to the possibility, and evidence, that the government (and those who puppet it) is withholding information about intelligent extraterrestrial visitation to our planet.
The Document
The declassified document comes as part of the batch of thousands that were recently released by the CIA. These documents deal with a number of subjects, ranging from CIA parapsychology experiments to information about UFOs.
One of the documents, written by a “Fred A. Kirsch,” reads as a “sanitized copy approved for released.” In other words, it’s been cleared of (what they deem as) information too sensitive for public access. It reads as follows:
“This is a reply to the letter criticizing Dr. Carl Jung for his belief in flying saucers and his charges that the Air Force has been covering up the truth about these objects. I would like to point out that Dr. Jung is not the first person of integrity and reputation who has made such charges. He is merely the latest.”
The document goes on to name other people as well, including Hillenkoetter:
Exactly the same charge has been made by Admiral Delmar Fahrney, former director of the naval guided missile research program, and by R.M., Hillenkoetter, former chief of the Central Intelligence Agency. . . .
If Jung were the only responsible person to make such charges, we could brush the whole thing off as nonsense. However, when a number of pilots, radar operators and other trained observers agree that UFOs are real, a serious reappraisal of the situation is in order.
It’s not anywhere near as significant as all of the other documentation and information that’s out there pertaining to the UFO subject, but nevertheless stands as another great example of how the CIA has been keeping tabs on the phenomenon.
To learn more about other aspects of this phenomenon, you can sift through the exopolitics section of our website.
This document clearly states, and further validates the many who have also argued, that Jung really believed in this phenomenon and supported the extraterrestrial hypothesis as a possible explanation for the existence of UFOs.
He even wrote a book about the subject titled Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in theSkywhere he speculates about their nature, approaching the subject from a psychological rather than personal standpoint.
According to The Guardian, Jung had studied UFOs for more than a decade and stated that he “cannot even say whether they exist or not,” and that he was risking his “hard-won reputation for truthfulness, reliability and capacity for scientific judgement.”
He has also been quoted as saying, “In the course of years, I have gathered together a considerable mass of observations, included in which are reports by two eyewitnesses known to me personally (I have never seen anything!). I have also read on the question. However, I can only say for certain: these things are not a mere rumour: something has been seen.”
He then goes on to discuss what the above CIA document mentions:
What astonishes me the most is that the American Air Force, despite all the information in its possession and its so-called fear of creating panic, seems o work systematically to do that very thing (witness the Orson Welles radio play at New Jersey) since it has never yet published an authentic and certain account of the facts, only occasionally allowing information to be dragged out of it by journalists.
It’s quite amazing to see just how many ‘credible’ people have been speaking up about this topic after examining the evidence, for decades, and now we know that this long list includes Carl Jung.
Social media and local news outlets throughout upstate New York were swamped with reports of strange lights over Lake Ontario on the evening of May 23rd. Just around dusk, a formation of eerie floating lights appeared over the Canadian side of the lake, prompting curiosity from hundreds of local residents.
Many social media users speculated the lights could be drones.
Eyewitness Kate Caven told local Buffalo news station WIVB that residents throughout the Lake Ontario region were perplexed about the source of the lights, which seemed to hover in the air above the lake:
Some people were concerned maybe they were distress signals, but we couldn’t see any boats. And then some people mentioned maybe a meteor shower, but again they weren’t really moving. So that’s pretty much what most people were saying other than UFOs or aliens. I joked around with my friend Matt who was with me, if they were coming to take us, I was ready, that that wasn’t a bad way to go out if I could see an alien.
It sure wouldn’t be, Karen. Shortly after the reports came in, however, the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) claimed responsibility for the sighting. According to an RCAF spokesperson, the lights were training flares dropped by a Hercules Model 8 CCC-130H aircraft in the 424th squadron out of 8 wing Trenton, Ontario, who were conducting a search and rescue exercise in the area.
Smoke trails can be seen trailing behind each descending flare.
However, there are some alleged inconsistencies in the RCAF’s story. The RCAF spokesperson’s statement claims the flares were dropped around 9:30 p.m., yet some social media commenters noted that they observed the flares hours earlier. Other commenters noted that the lights appeared to move up and down in the air above the lake. Of course, the mind sometimes sees what it wants to see, and at such a distance, it could be difficult to judge movement.
After the RCAF claimed similar exercises are routine, some residents wondered why flares aren’t a more common sight.
Meanwhile, according to a few sources, the U.S. Coast Guard reportedly initially ruled out basic flares as the source of the phenomenon. However, a quick comparison with images of artillery flares indeed shows a clear resemblance to the Lake Ontario lights. While a government UFO cover-up makes for great headlines, this case is likely exactly what the RCAF says it was.
Artillery illumination rounds are commonly used in military operations.
A MUFON field investigators and witnesses we are exposed to pssoble military aircraft, sometimes secret aircraft not yet declssified. Recently Florida MUFON went through a UFO Flap involving large triangle craft gliding silantly over the Greater Tampa Bay area. Here are just a few of the collection of witness testimonies.
Case 60636
I was at home and went outside around 10:30pm to make a call and as always, I look up at the sky. I caught something out of the corner of my eye and turned to face it. I thought it was an aircraft at first since Im airline crew.
As, I continued to study the aircraft, I realized it wasnt making any sound, had no lights. It appeared to by gliding about 500 feet up and was reflecting the orange glow of the street lights.
I became anxious and excited as I watched the object disappear behind the trees. I wanted to see more.
Case 60634
"I live in a condo on the first floor overlooking a small lake. I usually sit on my screened-in porch every night to watch planes. I live fairly close to two airports and I've enjoyed watching planes since I was a child. The sighting
of this object actually took me by surprise a little because there was no sound. If I hadn't been watching for planes I never would have seen it. When I saw it my immediate reaction was UFO because it was like nothing I had ever seen before. The whole sighting lasted no more than about 4 seconds. There were no running lights, no sound and the shape unlike any plane. It was very large, a boomerang-type shape but with more rounded edges, (I think 5) very white but dim lights on the underside which seemed to illuminate the craft. Without the lights I would not have been able to see it because it was the same color as the night sky and was very camouflaged, almost transparent-looking. It made no sound at all and looked like it was gliding more than flying through the air. It flew from left to right heading in a southeasterly direction, moving parallel to my porch. I lost sight of it when it went behind the trees on our property. For a while I remained on the porch looking for it, hoping it would come back. It did cross my mind at one point that perhaps it was an experimental aircraft headed towards MacDill Air Force Base which is in the direction it was flying. It certainly seemed to have stealth-like technology and almost appeared as if it was cloaked. The longer I stayed on my porch watching the skies the more apprehensive I became and decided to come in the house. My heart was pounding, I was shaking and it took me a while to calm myself down."
Both of these cases were considered Identified flying Objects with the possibility of being the B2 steaalth bombers on apprach to MicDill Air Force Base. This is certainly a possibility but as the years have go by we have recieved numerus reports of these strange, very large "Boomarang" stype craft. Witnesses often never get a very close look at one but when they do, it really is hard to catigorize as a B2 and the flight characterisitics often go way beyond that of the known capabilities of the B2.
STERRENKUNDENASA doopte het terrein op Mars het "Zwitserse kaas-gebied". Het landschap op de recente foto hierboven van de 'Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter' - al elf jaar aan de slag op de rode planeet - vertoont inderdaad een zekere gelijkenis met de gaten in een kaas. Maar wat vooral opvalt, is de merkwaardige veel grotere en diepere kuil in de bodem van de rode planeet. Wetenschappers krabben zich in de haren: wat is dit?
Het 'Zwitserse kaas-gebied' is gelokaliseerd in de zuidelijke hemisfeer van Mars. Het bevroren kooldioxideterrein telt verscheidene ondiepe putten, 'kaasgaten' veroorzaakt door sublimatie die bepaalde stukken droogijs gasvormig maakt. Heel Mars bulkt van de kraters en depressies, onder meer door meer dan een half miljoen meteorietinslagen en door vulkaanuitbarstingen. Maar dit gat gaat veel dieper, dwars door het ijs en het stof heen.
Wetenschappers vragen zich af of die onverklaarbare put het gevolg is van een zware inslag op Mars dan wel of de bodem er is ingezakt met een bijna perfecte cirkel als resultaat. De diameter van de kuil wordt geschat op enkele honderden meters.

AMAZING! PROOF OF 'ALIEN LIFE' REVEALED AS SAMPLES FROM ISS SURFACE!
AMAZING! PROOF OF 'ALIEN LIFE' REVEALED AS SAMPLES FROM ISS SURFACE!
The search for extraterrestrial lifeforms goes ever so forward as science gives long leaps of progress, enabling humanity to explore the far reaches of the cosmos.
One remarkable discovery regarding alien lifeforms was made recently as microbial life from cosmic dust, and comet debris was found scattered on the surface of the International Space Stations (ISS).
The astonishing claims are set to rock the world of space science and have been hailed as one, if not the “most significant scientific development of the century”.
Samples taken from the surface of the ISS windows are thought to contain living creatures related to plankton or algae, Russian scientists have confirmed in the past few days.
We are closer than ever to acknowledge the existence of life outside our planet.
This could also prove that life on Earth could have evolved from organisms that came from the far reaches of the universe. Watch the following video to know more!
NEW STRANGE LIGHTS OVER POPOCATEPETL VOLCANO, 2017
NEW STRANGE LIGHTS OVER POPOCATEPETL VOLCANO, 2017
Volcanoes have been a favorite site for alien hunters over the years. Now a strange series of lights above the Popocatepetl volcano in Mexico have got conspiracy theorists excited once again. The sightings, they say, suggest aliens are studying Earth's geothermal activity so that they can understand how it works.
The active Popocatepetl Volcano is located 60 km southeast of the Mexican capital, Ciudad de Mexico; it is situated on the borders of the Mexican states of Morelos, Puebla, and Mexico, is located about 60 km southeast of Mexico City.
Were the volcanoes portals for extraterrestrial bases? This question haunts most ufologists since it is even common to see UFOs coming in and out of their mouths. The most recent sighting occurred on the volcano Popocatepetl located in Mexico.
The volcano is a constant target of this type of phenomenon, and there are hundreds of images to confirm this. The most famous were what was filmed by the television network Televisa, where a UFO of kilometer proportions was recorded entering the active volcano.
But in fact, this radical vehicle was designed to scour Mars in search for alien life.
The radical concept has been unveiled by NASA at the at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, and could be the inspiration for future rovers for the first manned missions to the red planet.

The full-sized Nasa Mars rover has been in development since late 2016, and it looks a lot like the Batmobile.
The angular concept vehicle has six wheels, is made entirely of carbon fibre and aluminium, and is solar-powered.
It was designed to accommodate four astronauts and has its own detachable laboratory.
'While this exact rover is not expected to operate on Mars, one or more of its elements could make its way into a rover astronauts will drive on the Red Planet.' NASA says.
The builders of the scientifically-themed Mars rover concept vehicle, Parker Brothers Concepts of Port Canaveral, Florida, incorporated input into its design from NASA subject matter experts.
It rover operates on an electric motor, powered by solar panels and a 700-volt battery.
The rover separates in the middle with the front area designed for scouting and equipped with a radio and navigation provided by the Global Positioning System.
The back section serves as a laboratory which can disconnect for autonomous research.
Following several weeks on display at Kennedy's visitor complex, the Mars rover concept vehicle will be displayed at several locations.
From July through August, it will be displayed at several locations during a tour along the East Coast.
The Mars rover concept vehicle will then return to the visitor complex to be part of the new Astronaut Training Experience attraction opening in the fall of this year.
According to Rebecca Shireman, assistant manager of public relations for the Kennedy visitor complex, the 'Summer of Mars' program will provide a survey of NASA's studies of the Red Planet.
'It's an all-encompassing effort to review the history of our efforts to explore Mars and look ahead to what is being planned,' she said.
'We hope this will encourage young people to want to learn more about being a part of the effort to go to Mars.'
Its six wheels are 50 inches (1.3m) tall, 30 inches (75cm) wide, and are specially designed with air ducts to let the coarse red sands of Mars slip through, Business Insider reports.
The 28 feet (8.5m) long, 13 feet (4m) wide, and 11 feet (3.4m) tall vehicle has not been officially weighed, but its developers estimate it reaches 5,000 pounds (2,250kg).
The rover looks similar to the Batmobile from Batman Begins
Marc Parker, a designer and builder of the new rover, told Business Insider that the buggy is a six-wheeled, all-electric vehicle that was created 'with every intention' of overcoming rocky obstacles on Mars.
He said that the rover could hit top speeds of 60-70 miles per hour (95-110kph), but would not disclose its cost.
'What we actually came up with was a dual-purpose vehicle. It actually separates in the middle,' he said.
'The rear section is a full lab, the front area is a cockpit for going out and doing scouting.
'The lab section can actually disconnect ... and be left on its own to do autonomous research.

'That way the scout vehicle can go out to do its thing without the fuel consumption and extra weight, then come back later.'
Unfortunately, the sci-fi concept will never touch down on the red planet.
Nasa is taking it on a cross-country tour of the US for the agency's upcoming 'Summer of Mars' event, Mr Parker said.
The educational programme is designed to inspire the public about space exploration.
Mr Parker and his brother Shanon started work on the rover in November after Nasa approached them with the idea.
Their company, Parker Brothers Concepts, normally builds 'outlandish' vehicles for movie and TV productions.
But Nasa did not fund the rover, Mr Parker said, which instead relied on financing from a private company involved in the project.
'We're also filming for a reality television series that's going to be coming out about this build,' Mr Parker said.
It took the Parker brothers around five months to construct the vehicle from late November 2016 through to earlyApril 2017.
The back section serves as a laboratory which can disconnect for autonomous research.
The builders of the scientifically-themed Mars rover concept vehicle, Parker Brothers Concepts of Port Canaveral, Florida, incorporated input into its design from NASA subject matter experts.
The small team consisted of the company's two owners plus a few of their employees, as well as a number of suppliers they deal with.
'Me and the guys, we averaged about 80 to 100 hours a week, each,' Mr Parker said.
'We worked 10-, 12-, 14-hour days, seven days a week since late last year.
'If I thought about how many hours we put into this thing, I'd probably cry. It's way too many.'
From highly trained scientists toiling away at research institutes to amateur enthusiasts gazing upward from their backyards, humanity boasts no shortage of people looking for life beyond Earth. Add to that the massive size of the universe — estimates range in the trillions of galaxies — and probability dictates that we should have already encountered another species by now.
And yet, we still have no evidence that we aren’t alone in the universe.
However, according to astronomy researcher Chris Impey, this hunt for life beyond Earth may soon yield results. In an interview with Futurism, he revealed that he believes that we are less than two decades away from finding extraterrestrial life…but it may not be the kind of life we were hoping for: “I put my money on detecting microbial life in 10 to 15 years, but not at all detecting intelligent life.”
Hide and Seek on a Cosmic Level
While Impey is skeptical that intelligent life is within our sights, he does have a couple of suggestions as to where we should focus our search for extraterrestrial lifeforms, intelligent or not. The first is our own backyard, or, more accurately, our own solar system.
While Impey tells Futurism he doesn’t rule out the possibility that life still exists on Mars, he says that those lifeforms are likely below the surface and are, therefore, much harder to detect. As such, he asserts that we have a better chance of finding evidence of life that used to exist on the Red Planet: “If we actually get Mars rocks back here to Earth from a place that we think could have been habitable in the past, then we might find evidence of prior life.”
Other bodies in our solar system could potentially host life as well, according to Impey, including the water world Europa (one of Jupiter’s several moons). He thinks future missions targeting the satellite could yield helpful—if not entirely conclusive—results, asserting that they should at least give us “some better idea if that ocean could have life in it.”
Of course, our solar system is just one very small corner of a very massive universe, so we’d be remiss if we didn’t look beyond it for signs of life. To narrow down the scope of our search, Impey suggests targeting the many exo-Earths we’ve already uncovered. Instead of focusing on the planets’ surfaces, though, we should research their atmospheres.
In the next few years, we’ll be able to use the James Web Space Telescope and other detection devices to look for biomarkers such as oxygen and methane in the atmospheres of these Earth-like planets, says Impey. “This biomarker experiment…could find evidence of microbial life indirectly,” he explains. The research should help us pinpoint the planets that are “the closest to Earth as possible, not in distance, but in character,” he adds, and since Earth is the only place we know life exists, finding the most Earth-like planets is our best bet for finding life.
Any Life Is Better Than No Life
Even if Impey is right, and humanity is still decades away from finding intelligent alien life, the discovery of microbial life on Mars, Europa, or one of the thousands of exoplanets we’ve identified would still be a huge development. It would mean Earth isn’t unique, that something else living is out there.
We could use the knowledge we glean from studying this microbial life to narrow down our hunt for other, more complex organisms. By providing valuable insights into how other living beings are able to survive on worlds far different from our own, this microbial life could help in our quest to become a multi-planetary species. Even the discovery of past microbial life would be helpful, as it could serve as something of a cautionary tale, providing us with the opportunity to learn and ensure we don’t meet the same fate.
As Impey notes, thanks to dramatic advances in technology, we’ve never been better equipped to discover life beyond Earth than we are right now: “Every new SETI experiment done now is about as good as the sum of all previous SETI experiments put together.”
However, even if all of the currently planned experiments and missions came up short, Impey doesn’t envision humanity giving up the hunt for extraterrestrial life any time soon: “The first SETI experiment was in 1959, so obviously it has been going on for over half a century without any success. The people who do it don’t seem put off by failure.”
This interview has been slightly edited for clarity and brevity.

IETS MEER DUIDELIJK IN HET RAADSEL VAN DE KLEINE WITTE VLIEGENDE BOLLEN ? ( VIDEO )
IETS MEER DUIDELIJK IN HET RAADSEL VAN DE KLEINE WITTE VLIEGENDE BOLLEN ? ( VIDEO )
Niet alleen in ons land, maar overal ter wereld zien mensen kleine witte bollen door de lucht vliegen.
Formeel zijn het UFO’s, maar tot nu toe heeft nog niemand echt nog een antwoord op wat voor dingen dat nu eigenlijk zijn.
Misschien komt het omdat het zomer is en er meer blauwe luchten zijn, maar de laatste weken is er een soort permanente stroom van waarnemingen overal ter wereld van vliegende ronde witte bollen ook wel orbs genoemd.
Zoals de volgende in Iran die wij al eerder lieten zien.
Maar, ook in Nederland komen deze voor, zoals onlangs in Heerde:
Zo zijn er talloze opnames te vinden van overal ter wereld, maar nog nooit was er iemand in geslaagd om deze bollen in wat meer detail vast te leggen.
Hij is er in geslaagd om een dergelijke witte bol te filmen, maar ook om deze dichterbij te halen zodat we wat meer informatie krijgen.
En dichterbij ziet zo’n witte bol er als volgt uit:
Dan wordt duidelijk dat het wel degelijk om een solide object gaat wat voor het grootste deel schijnt te bestaan uit een soort groot licht.
Vooral het onderste gedeelte van het object verandert nog wel eens van kleur zoals te zien op het volgende plaatje waarbij het onderste deel er nu roodachtig uit ziet.
Het object zonder in te zoomen, ziet er zo uit:
Hier volgen de bewegende beelden zoals ze enkele dagen geleden zijn opgenomen.
Wanneer we wat rondkijken op het Youtubekanaal van deze man, dan zien we dat hij meerdere keren dit soort objecten heeft weten vast te leggen. Niet alleen in Antalya, maar ook enkele keren in Istanboel.
De eerste keer dat hij een dergelijke opname maakte, was in december 2013 en die zag er zo uit:
De video’s hebben alle kenmerken van een echte opname, maar helemaal zeker weet je het niet. Bovendien kunnen we ook het commentaar van de man wat hij af en toe in de video geeft, niet verstaan.
Maar, als we er vanuit gaan dat deze opname echt is, dan is het toch wel heel bijzonder dat hij ze zo kan filmen en ook dat hij dat inmiddels meerdere keren heeft kunnen doen.
Het blijkt keer op keer dat sommige mensen altijd UFO’s zien en andere mensen nooit.
