Cigar-shaped UFO caught on tape over Tampa, Florida
Cigar-shaped UFO caught on tape over Tampa, Florida
This interesting UFO video was recorded over Tampa, Florida back in August 2014.
Witness report:
Saw a worm like shape, it moved a all directions hovered over the city until it got further away until we lost sight of it.
1. We were at a friends balcony in Tampa Florida watching the sky in the afternoon when we saw the UFO. 2. I was the one that noticed it first I thought it was something in my eye, as if it was a bug or something. It moved in all directions until I said out loud what is that. Nobody could answer. 3. A bug or something in my eye. 4. It was metallic, I want to say a little darker than usual. It looked like a black cigar on the sky and moved in all directions. It suddenly changed color onto a bright silver color maybe when the sun was hitting the UFO. It hovered on top of the city for around 30 minutes. It came closer, just hovering our way maybe about 1.5-3 miles away but we got scared and they started hovering on the other direction. There was no type of contact. They just hovered and peacefully left. 5. At first I think you dont process correctly what you are looking at, so your brain comes up with all the possible outcomes. When we realized that it was nothing that we had seen before then fear invades your body. Fear of the unknown. As they stayed there peacefully we got curious and exited to see another species in Planet Earth. 6. It kept going N (not sure if it was exactly N) but just further away from us, until it got too far away and we lost sight of it.

Here is a modest collection of digital copies of UFO books
A reddit user ConcernedEarthling just posted his collection of UFO books in digital edition.
This is what he wrote:
This collection of books is what I have accumulated and organized over time to supplement my physical library at home, and it has been a useful collection to refer to others who have wanted some relevant reading.
It is actually one folder of a larger collection of online UFO materials, in what I call the UFO Reading Center, and it contains organized collections of magazines, studies, papers, and other materials. The entire collection is hosted on Google Drive..
I hope this is a useful and plentiful resource for those of you who may not have stumbled on it yet.
EU Laws Block Requests To Access UFO Sighting Information
EU Laws Block Requests To Access UFO Sighting Information
Symbolic picture
A leading expert has claimed that the government hushed up UFO sightings using EU laws. The state has previously been granted the public the access to records, including detailed reports of mysterious sightings in the sky by civilian aircrews.
They are now discovering that the access has been revoked, referring to the European legislation. Britain’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) receives several reports of strange sightings each year.
MOD’s UFO desk was responsible for collecting information on UFO sighting reports, but the responsibility has fallen to the CAA since the UFO desk closure in 2009. As a government agency, the CAA collected files should be subject to Freedom of Information requests.
Any member of the public who wants to gain access to data from government institutions can use these transparency laws. However, the CAA has allegedly refused to release any UFO sighting information, citing the 2014 European legislation.
UFO author Nigel Watson said that such move only ignites government cover-up of UFO sightings and related information.
Principle research fellow Dr David Clarke of Sheffield Hallam University’s department of journalism had accessed the files from the CAA using FOI requests. However, he was refused permission to do it again earlier this year.
According to Dr Clarke, the change is an embarrassment on the part of the aviation industry. He said that the industry does not want to admit that its pilots occasionally encounter UFOs in the sky. He pointed out that authorities should be proactively promoting open access to records of UFO sightings, which is known as occurrences in bureaucratic language, to improve public confidence in air safety.
The EU legislation is designed to protect airline staff, including the pilots, who report witnessing unexplainable aerial phenomena. It states that the release of occurrence information to the media or the general public is not permitted, including in response to Freedom of Information Act requests. The occurrence information, however, can be released for the purpose of improving or maintaining aviation safety.
Strange UFO Rising in Sky’s Portal Viewed by Millions of People
Strange UFO Rising in Sky’s Portal Viewed by Millions of People
The internet is bubbling over with stories, accounts, photographs and even videos of these alien UFO incidences. When the photos are posted, whopping millions of people of different opinions viewed them. A sensational footage that became viral appears to be an odd-looking object disappearing into a “portal in the sky.” The video, which was displayed on the Facebook page, shows a flying object that was spotted over southern Colorado. It garnered more than one million views.
The video shows a bizarre shaped series of lights rising before the portal opens in the night sky and disappears later on. If this is a genuine video, then it would be the most interesting piece of evidence in every extraterrestrial activity. Unfortunately, it has been exposed recently that such piece could be made through CGI technology. Snopes.com, a fact-checking website, has investigated the footage. As a finding, the article and the video are fake. For one, the page does not say exactly where in Southern Colorado the footage was filmed. Without sufficient information, they cannot check with the local authorities to verify whether the residents saw something that may cause alarm what the witness claims to be.
Snopes went on to conclude that the footage did not originate in Colorado since it was first conveyed in Sonora, a Mexican state on the US border, last March of this year. They admitted finding any Mexican tabloid media reports showing that residents have witnessed the incident. However, a Spanish YouTuber said that recreating the video through Adobe After Effects would also be possible. Irrespective of the opinions, Snopes.com debunked the video as unproven because this video is difficult to validate or disprove without knowing more about what and where it is supposed to be.
Scott Brando, who manages a hoax-busting site branded the interesting video as a fake after slowing it down to stabilise it. On his Facebook account, he labelled it as another fake UFO has gone viral.
The Roswell Incident and the Kardashians Have Something in Common
The Roswell Incident and the Kardashians Have Something in Common
Many Americans believe an alien spacecraft crash-landed near Roswell, New Mexico 70 years ago. But SETI expert Seth Shostak isn’t convinced.

If you’re a believer, you probably know that this month marks the 70th anniversary of a major cosmic mishap that took place not on the moon or Mars, nor in the dim recesses of our galaxy — but in New Mexico. On July 8, 1947, the Roswell Daily Record claimed that the U.S. Air Force had recovered a flying saucer in the desert scrub about 30 miles northwest of the city.
Apparently, aliens were sufficiently intrigued by the Land of Enchantment to travel untold trillions of miles to check it out. Alas, whether it was a result of altimeter failure or distracted driving, the saucer botched the approach and dived to the dirt.
The incident was of limited interest at the time. But it has become an icon for those who are convinced that aliens are in our skies. These folks maintain that for seven decades the U.S. government has covered up the extraterrestrial facts about Roswell.
Now a discussion of the merits of this claim is a book-length subject. Indeed, it’s a shelf-load-of-books subject, and any analysis in the limited space of this column will surely be trolled as either biased or incomplete by those who have spent their lives discussing Roswell — or made it their career.

But let’s consider a few facts outside the specifics of this story.
Perhaps the greatest achievement of the Roswell incident is that — like the Kardashians — it’s famous for being famous. It has become a poster child for people who believe UFOs are craft from another world. And that’s a lot of people: one-third of Americans seem certain that our world hosts non-earthly visitors. If you asked these folks to cite evidence for this extraordinary idea, there’s little doubt that most would recount the events in Roswell.
Clearly, if you’re an advocate for alien visitation, it’s great to have a high-profile, go-to example. This is impossible for the one-third of the public who insist that ghosts or angels are real. There’s no ghost incident comparable to Roswell in notoriety. Ditto angels.
Perhaps the greatest achievement of the Roswell incident is that—like the Kardashians—it’s famous for being famous.
Perhaps the greatest achievement of the Roswell incident is that—like the Kardashians—it’s famous for being famous.
Roswell’s notoriety derives in part from the fact that the story has morphed from being a massively important discovery (if true) to something else: a conspiracy. Intrigue has trumped science, and the public finds the former considerably more appealing. A quick search on Amazon returned twice as many books under the search terms “Roswell UFO” as under “Higgs boson.”
Thanks to this metamorphosis, Roswell enthusiasts no longer need to deal with such vexing questions as “what powered this ill-fated spacecraft” or “where did it come from?” They can focus on the more visceral question of why the feds don’t give up the evidence. It’s easier, and it’s more emotional.

But that’s a second remarkable aspect of Roswell: the notion that the U.S. government is the sole proprietor of alien evidence, and is sufficiently worried about the effects of releasing the information to keep it secret for 70 years.
Frankly, the federal government doesn’t have much of a track record for keeping things under wraps over long periods. How to build an atomic bomb was an American secret for just four years. The Pentagon papers leaked out even faster. The Coca Cola Company has done better with its soft drink recipe.
And there’s this: why is it that despite the fact that three score and ten have elapsed since aliens totaled their transport in the desert, Roswell is still the trademark of the UFO crowd? Have the aliens lost interest in us? Have they simply become better at being cryptic? There are at least 10,000 reported sightings of UFOs every year, and none has developed the sheen of Roswell.
But there’s an indisputable upside to the Roswell incident. Roswell, a small, dusty city between the mountains and deserts of the west and the Great Plains to the east, has a cache that’s rare for other cities its size. The downtown area is dominated by stores catering to folks who've made a pilgrimage to the place where some unlucky beings came to grief all those years ago — a bit like what happened to the Donner Party — except that the aliens were martyred to the benefit of the Roswell Chamber of Commerce.

So while I think the chance is slim to none that aliens were involved in any way, one can’t help but find the whole Roswell story modestly compelling, if not very instructive. A few years ago I asked Stanton Friedman, who has written and lectured about Roswell for much of his life, the following: “Even if I were to believe that aliens did crash at Roswell, what have we learned from that?”
His response: “We’ve learned that UFO’s are real! Isn’t that enough?”

What actually crashed near Roswell? This photo may hold a crucial clue
BY BUD KENNEDY
ARLINGTON, TEXAS
Something crashed in New Mexico 70 years ago, or was it someone?
Whatever wrecked in the famous “Roswell Incident” in 1947, it was already world news before the crash debris was delivered to Fort Worth.
In New Mexico, a U.S. Army Air Force spokesman called it a “flying saucer,” setting off a worldwide sensation. But later that day, officers at what is now Naval Air Station Fort Worth showed a Star-Telegram reporter a bundle of tinfoil and sticks and identified it as a weather balloon.
The mysterious debris has made then-Star-Telegram reporter J. Bond Johnson famous, and his photos the most requested and studied in the newspaper’s 111 years.
The incident has been called a cover-up. Maybe so. A later federal investigation described the wreckage as a top-secret spy balloon that officials were hiding.
Did a UFO really crash outside of Roswell?
KOAT - Albuquerque, NM
But the debris in the photos looks like a plain old weather balloon. And why blame a UFO?
Johnson happened to be in the newsroom July 8, 1947, when city editor Cullum Greene sent him to see the wreckage flown by a B-29 from Roswell.
What the information officer there first described as “nothing made on this earth” was unfolded here and looked like foil, paper and sticks. Both the rancher who gathered it up from a ranch near Corona, N.M., and the pilot who flew it to Fort Worth also described it as just a small bundle.
“‘Disk-overy’ Near Roswell Identified As Weather Balloon,” the headline read.
THIS IS THE PERFECT PIECE OF UFO EVIDENCE. … IF WE COULD ONLY READ WHAT IT SAYS.

Johnson, 21, a Methodist minister’s son and later a minister himself, had graduated from Texas Wesleyan College. His sister, Elaine J. Carroll, said Johnson got the assignment because the staff photographers were gone and he had a Speed Graphic camera.
Columnist Cheryl Costa concludes her three-part article series on Project Blue Book
In a 1997 book about the CIA’s involvement with UFOs written by CIA historian Gerald Haines, he indicated that then President Harry S. Truman had serious concerns.
“A massive buildup of sightings over the United States in 1952, especially in July, alarmed the Truman administration.”
The CIA’s concern with the issue would lead to the creation of the Robertson Panel in January 1953.
For four days in January 1953, the Robertson panel reviewed all the evidence available at the time and published the Durant Report. The report simply took the position that UFOs were not a threat to national security. Of course, they parroted the position from Project Grudge that the Soviets could possibly mask an invasion by using a massive UFO-sighting event to clog communication channels.
The Robertson Panel further recommended the debunking of UFO sighting reports to quiet the growing interest in UFOs. They publicly instructed the military and all other national security entities to remove UFOs from any sort of special reporting status.
As a result of the Robertson Panel, Project Blue Book’s prestige as an investigative unit took a huge fall. Captain Edward Ruppelt, who was the lead investigator for Project Blue Book, left the Air Force in 1953.
It was at this juncture that several interesting things happened. The Air Force quietly drew a shroud of secrecy around itself with regard to UFOs. Officially and publicly, Project Blue Book was again in the debunking business with regard to UFOs.
In addition, as a result of the Robertson Panel, a joint military-wide directive JANAP-146 made reporting of UFOs by military personnel, outside of military channels, an act subject to espionage laws. In other words, if you were in the service and saw something, you couldn’t report it publicly without being in violation national security regulations.
For the next nine years Project Blue Book languished as a back water within the Air Force Intelligence community. By the early 1960s, many in the Air Force intelligence community that felt that Project Blue Book was a burden — plain and simple.
In the spring of 1966, Congress stepped in. The House Armed Services Committee asked the Air Force to contract out a university study into UFOs. In the fall of 1966, the Air Force announced that it had awarded a contract to the University of Colorado to be headed by American physicist Dr. Edward Condon.
Publicly the contract’s objective was to give UFO phenomena a proper and serious academic study. As it turned out, the study was simply a smoke screen to justify a way get the Air Force out of the UFO investigation business, as evidenced by a speech given by Dr. Condon shortly after the study began in February 1967 at the Corning Glass Works chapter of the Sigma Chi Iota Honorary Fraternity. In his speech he said:
“It is my inclination right now to recommend that the government get out of this business. My attitude right now is that there’s nothing to it … but I’m not supposed to reach a conclusion for another year.”
On Jan. 9, 1969, the 1,439-page Condon Report was released. Its final conclusion read as follows:
“Our general conclusion is that nothing has come from the study of UFOs in the past 21 years that has added to scientific knowledge. Careful consideration of the record as it is available to us leads us to conclude that further extensive study of UFOs probably cannot be justified in the expectation that science will be advanced thereby.”
Project Blue Book was officially closed on Dec. 17, 1969.
If investigating UFOs since 1969 has been done within the government, it has been done secretly from within the Unacknowledged Special Access Programs (USAP) within the National Security Agency establishment and in the Pentagon.

The truth is out there: the history of Edinburgh’s UFO hotspot
The truth is out there: the history of Edinburgh’s UFO hotspot
The skies over Edinburgh have been home to many mysterious UFO sightings over the years

Andrew Hennessey
The area around Edinburgh has more reported UFO sightings than anywhere else on earth.
I was born into a family originally from Gorebridge, the ‘hotspot’ of alien activity in Scotland today.
With a mother who passed on to me at an early age her knowledge of the Scottish psychic tradition of ‘second sight’, I had a natural attraction to the subject – beginning with the supernatural, but moving very quickly on to the entities of alien encounters.
Unidentified objects and mysterious encounters have been reported in the ‘Falkirk Triangle’
(Photo: Andrew Hennessey)
Since the 1980s I have been researching UFOs, conspiracies and the paranormal, documenting my own observations and conclusions – some of which are controversial.
The Robert Taylor Incident
In Central Scotland, the skies always seem to be busy, and not just with the landing lights of jets on their way into our airports.
To quote one Falkirk Triangle alien abductee, G Wood, who was lifted from his car on the A70 road in 1992:
“They’re here and they’re [still] coming here.”
Modern tales of UFO close encounters in Scotland really begin with the so-called Robert Taylor Incident, which took place in 1979 at Dechmont Woods, near Livingston.
Later recorded by the police as a criminal assault by an unknown or alien entity, Robert Taylor, a local forester, was accosted at night by a UFO as it was scouting over his area of the wood.
According to Taylor, he saw a large flying dome hovering above the forest floor. He then smelled a foul odour, and smaller spheres began dragging him towards the larger dome, before he lost consciousness.
Several similar incidents were to follow in this central region of Scotland, stretching from Stirling to Falkirk and back to the southern fringes of Edinburgh. The area has since become known as ‘The Falkirk Triangle’.
The folklore of Gorebridge
Gorebridge is a small, ex-coal mining town about 15 miles south of Edinburgh.
My family originally comes from this area, and like so many others, its men had been miners.
Drafted to fight in both world wars, they returned to a community undergoing change.
This photo shows and alleged sighting of a ‘grey’ alien at Gowkshill near Gorebridge
(Photo: Andrew Hennessey)
For, in amongst the hustle and bustle of these human affairs and operating the deepest mines in Scotland, there had also been a long-simmering, non-human agenda of secret meetings and whispered stories of the ‘others’ amongst us.
This excerpt from poem The Ballad of the Gore, dating back to 1916, alludes to the supernatural ‘auld races’.
“… Proud Arniston; in ‘fairs o’ state
for ages Laird and son
Soldiers, Lawyers, Statesmen great
richt sterlin’ work has done,
Wae on the day shouldt frae’t be gone
The auld race o’ Dundas;
May that ne’er be, but lang there reign
its Leddy and its Lass ….”
The Gorebridge story with its ‘auld races’ started within stone-lined tunnel networks, allegedly linking archaic stone circles and underground cities.
These faerie stories have been woven together into a rich tapestry of local folklore by local collectors, such as Mary Macleod Banks in the 1930s.
But the Edinburgh area doesn’t just have a historic link to folklore and the supernatural – incidents are still happening to this day.
Alien encounters in Scotland
Gorebridge, today, continues to display all the hallmarks of an active alien presence and occupation zone.
Many of the encounters there can only be described as intimidating or surreal, which Dr J A Hynek (the father of Ufology) characterised in his 1978 speech to the UN as ‘high strangeness’, an extreme ‘oddness’, symptomatic of alien encounters.
The Gorebridge ‘camp’ is the site of what is believed to be an operational alien base near an abandoned mine, and nearby is Dalhousie Castle, the location of a well-documented alien abduction.

Both historically and more recently, there have been regular UFO sightings above and over the area of an extensive cavern system that also takes in Rosslyn to the west, and Gifford and Goblin Halls to the east.
Reports from this area have spoken of:
– observing/filming massive low-level ships, many shapes and sizes
– alien use of small glowing UAVs which can vanish
– seeing operational stargates near the cavern systems
– time slip
– harassment and interception from Men in Black-
– over-flying ships and 40 spherical, black drones above Barleyknowe Road at rooftop height
– black choppers, under 200 feet – cattle mutilations on film – lights at the old mine
– alien materialisation
– greys and alien equipment photographed in the woods
– holographic shape-changing hardware that mimics military vehicles and aircraft
These incidents are still on-going in east-central Scotland, including the capital itself, which adds greatly to the lore of ancient secrets being enacted today before our cameras and our eyes.

Micah Hanks’ recently-published article for Mysterious Universe – titled “The British UFO Files: An Estimate of the Situation?” and on the subject of newly-declassified British Ministry of Defense UFO files – includes the following words: “One of the most recent reports to come to light deals with an unusual, Cold-War era incident that occurred in October 1982. It involved an American RC-135 spy plane that, while monitoring Soviet military operations, came under some kind of surveillance by a large, unidentified and brightly-lit aircraft. The USAF base detailed in the report was located at RAF Troodos on Cyprus, and discussed an incident involving an unidentified aircraft which lasted close to 90 minutes.”
This is particularly intriguing to me, as I have a story that – to a degree – is somewhat similar to the one which Micah refers to. It’s a case that also revolves around both U.K. and U.S. authorities. The location is the same: Cyprus. The UFO, in both cases, was described as being large. And, the case brought to my attention occurred in the summer of 1981, just one year before the case referenced by Micah. Also, both UFOs were in view for a considerable amount of time. It’s important to note that I can’t be accused of having fallen for a modern-day hoaxer, as the story was given to me years ago. In fact, it takes up three pages of my first book, A Covert Agenda, which was published way back in 1997, a full twenty years ago.
For a period of time beginning in 1981, the source of the story was employed as a radar operator at a particular military facility on the island of Cyprus (RAF Akrotiri). On August 16, an unknown vehicle, described as being “vast,” was tracked approaching the island at a height in excess of 30,000 feet, and at a speed of around 900 miles per hour. It was initially believed that this was a conventional aircraft, although one of an undeniably extraordinary size. This tentative conclusion was quickly blown out of the water, however, when the UFO came to a complete halt in the skies – hovering high above RAF Akrotiri for close to an hour. Those who saw it described it as being of a brilliant white color, triangular in form, and somewhere in the region of seven hundred feet in length.
Interestingly, the informant – who shared his story with me on January 12, 1993 – revealed that at some point before the incident took place, the Ministry of Defense had issued what was described to me as a “complete stand-down” of military planes in the area, in the event that something both unusual and extraordinary might be seen in the sky – which it certainly was. Reportedly, a huge amount of photographs of the object were secured. They, and the station’s log-book, were handed over the next day to a man and a woman from the Ministry of Defense, and who had flown in from London. All those involved in the curious affair were reminded they had signed the British Government’s Official Secrets Act. It’s interesting to note that, soon after, according to the informant, a meeting was held at a U.K. military facility called Royal Air Force Lakenheath, located in the English county of Suffolk. Those who attended the classified meeting, specifically to discuss the event, included representatives of the British Ministry of Defense and the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations.
There’s no doubt that the most baffling part of the story revolves around the claim that the MoD seemed to have priorknowledge that the UFO would appear in the skies over Cyprus. In light of this, I asked the guy who who related the story to me if he had pondered on the possibility that the object was not a UFO, after all, but some kind of secret, highly-advanced aircraft of a terrestrial – rather than extra-terrestrial – nature. Given that the craft hovered over the base for around three-quarters of an hour and was around 700 feet in length, he felt that such a scenario was highly unlikely. But, he admitted that he had no answer as to how the MoD knew the craft might appear. After A Covert Agenda was published, Mark Birdsall, the editor of Eye-Spy magazine informed me that he had received a near-identical story years earlier. Maybe, in light of all the above, we’ll soon learn more about what was afoot in the skies of Cyprus in the 1981-1982 period.

ALIEN STRUCTURES AND MONOLITH WERE PHOTOGRAPHED ON IAPETUS, THE MYSTERIOUS MOON OF SATURN!
ALIEN STRUCTURES AND MONOLITH WERE PHOTOGRAPHED ON IAPETUS, THE MYSTERIOUS MOON OF SATURN!
Iapetus is Saturn's third largest natural satellite. The Cassini mission in 2007 revealed several unusual features of this moon. One of these features is a huge mysterious equatorial ridge that reaches a height of 20 km, a length of 1300 km and a width of 20 km. This huge summit involves more than 75 percent of the moon.
It is unclear how this huge protuberance was formed, and NASA experts are having a hard time explaining why this ridge follows the equator almost perfectly. There are at least four current hypotheses, and the first is that the ridge could be icy material, which flowed below the surface and then solidified on the Iapetus surface.
The second hypothesis is that the "ring-shaped ridge" was created during its formation due to the "Hill sphere", or a sphere of gravitational influence of a celestial body, which compared to the perturbations of another organism, with A larger mass, around which it orbits, it created the equatorial ridge in Iapetus.
The third hypothesis is that the protuberance on the moon of Saturn is the result of an old geological convective overturning. The fourth hypothesis, risked by ufologists is that Iapetus is not a natural moon, but an artificial structure built by an alien race, and it has become an alien space outpost.
Reports on social media, which have been picked up by mainstream news outlets across the world, claim a UFO has been filmed seemingly rising into a "portal" that then closes and vanishes.
The startling sights have happened in Russia, north American, and Mexico.
However, despite reports of the visions continuing as recently as yesterday, experts have now dismissed it as a viral hoax which has been viewed well over one million times.
One international news site ran the story yesterday.

A still from the viral footage showing the "UFO entering the portal".
It suggested the incident may have been filmed above Yakutia, in Russia, entitled: "Bizarre diamond-shaped 'UFO' swallows another unidentified flying object in the night sky."
The article said: "The strange video, seeming to show a mysterious unidentified flying object full of lights in the night sky, has emerged in media circles in Yakutia, the largest region in Russia.
"There is no information about when and where it happened.
"Yakutia or the Sakha Republic is the largest region in Russia, and appropriately is famous for its diamonds.
The strange video, seeming to show a mysterious unidentified flying object full of lights in the night sky, has emerged in media circles in Yakutia, the largest region in Russia.
International newspaper website
"Police have not reported calls about strange objects in the sky."
The story was then covered in the UK press.
However, the new reports show how easily viral reports can travel online.
Express.co.uk reported back in June how debunking website Snopes.com had reached the conclusion a video showing the same footage, which was viewed by more than one million people, was likely a CGI-made fake.
The website examined a version of the same video doing the rounds on social media, which said the event had been filmed in southern Colorado.
Snopes.com found earlier versions of the video claimed the footage had been recorded in Mexico.
The site said: "However because the video shows something rather outlandish happening, one would expect it to have been covered by the local news media — and there are no reports in Colorado matching the description of such a sighting (although the southern Colorado region known as San Luis Valley is an apparent hotspot for UFO sightings."
Snopes added the video did not even originate from Colorado, and was first reported in March this year as being Sonora, a Mexican state on the US border.
UFOs coming out of cloud formations recorded over Lake Havasu, Arizona and Aylmer QC, Canada
UFOs coming out of cloud formations recorded over Lake Havasu, Arizona and Aylmer QC, Canada
The following two sightings show unknown objects coming out of strange cloud formations recorded over Lake Havasu, Arizona and Aylmer QC, Canada.
Case 1: UFOs caught on video from plane near Havasu City, Arizona.
Havasu City, Arizona - May 5, 2017: I fly weekly, so I've seen a lot in my years of travel. On this particular flight on the 5th, I suddenly caught a shining bright light from my corner vision.
It wasn't a reflective shine; it had a gold shine as video may indicate.
We had just passed Lake Havasu (I was tracking our flight).
The objects were moving in what seemed a northwesterly direction. See video below.
Case 2: Dark square changing into a bell like object hanging from a strange oval cloud over Aylmer QC, Canada.
On May 16, 2017 I was looking out my window at the river and dark clouds. All if a sudden one if the clouds hanging over the river between Ontario and Quebec seemed to have what appeared to be a darker square like cloud under it but seemed attached.
I took out my binoculars and sure enough it looked like a small dark square made of something solid bout cloud was over it.
I put down the camera for a minute and when I picked it back up the sun was shining on one side of the square and it reflected as if metal. It was definitely a cube then.
The sun went in and when I looked again the object seemed to have split and then later once again and wasn't as square ad before.
Actually after I took photos of it and enlarged the last picture, this going to sound odd but the shape reminded me the Nazi Die Glocke, the bell.
It was the same shape of that bell. All the time it hung there it didn't go anywhere, it just stayed over the river and seemed to change shape by absorbing another object or just shape shifting.
I don't know if it went back up into the dark cloud or disintegrate but my guess is the former.
I live in the capital too though so government experimental craft can't be excluded either. You can see the video, which I have submitted to Mufon, registered under case 84990, of the strange cloud/object here:
Thursday’s 5.8-magnitude earthquake in western Montana was the strongest to hit the state in 60 years, and it quickly raised fears that the nearby Yellowstone supervolcano had awoken from its long slumber. But Montana residents can rest easy: While the Yellowstone volcano is active, a common earthquake is unlikely to have an effect on this ancient cauldron of superheated rock.
Still, local fears are understandable: The temblor struck early on the morning of July 6, some 230 miles from Yellowstone National Park, and was accompanied by at least 10 lesser quakes. It was the region’s strongest earthquake in over a decade, but although the shaking startled residents, scientists quickly determined that it didn’t represent the ominous rumblings of an awakening supervolcano. The U.S. Geological Survey’s seismic sensors immediately identified the quake’s culprits, which were slipping faults — fractures in the Earth’s crust — and not a threatening reservoir of pressurized magma, waiting to explode out of the ground.
Scientists, however, certainly believe that the massive Yellowstone volcano, whose rim measures 30 miles long by 45 miles wide, has a catastrophic potential far greater than anything mankind has ever experienced before. It’s just not likely to reveal it anytime soon.
Quakes as intense as the one Montana just experienced are unsettling, but this earthly rousing is geologically commonplace. Yellowstone National Park experiences between 1,000 and 3,000 earthquakes each year, revealing an active volcanic world beneath one of America’s most popular national park destinations. The park’s heat-propelled geysers and dangerous thermal pools also hint at the hot magma brewing below.
But all that activity does not portend an eruption, large or small. Though scientists will never rule out the possibility of an eruption entirely, decades of everyday monitoring have revealed no signs of a looming eruption. According to the Yellowstone National Park’s website:
Another caldera-forming eruption is theoretically possible, but it is very unlikely in the next thousand or even 10,000 years. Scientists have also found no indication of an imminent smaller eruption of lava.
Signs of volcanism at or around Yellowstone, the park notes, should be expected:
As at many caldera systems around the world, small earthquakes, ground uplift and subsidence, and gas releases at Yellowstone are commonplace events and do not reflect impending eruptions.
If an eruption was imminent, scientists expect the buildup to be more extreme, something that would be detectable for weeks or even years. This would include massive deformations of the land around the park (think abruptly formed canyons) and a continued onslaught of earthquake swarms, perhaps jolting the area each day.
Yellowstone's history is a history of caldera-forming volcanism. A caldera is a volcanic basic, caused by a collapse of earth following a magma-emptying eruption.
Lava last gushed out of the Yellowstone supervolcano around 70,000 years ago, and in the last two million years, scientists believe that three “major” volcanic eruptions occurred. One of these, the Island Park super-eruption, left a telltale blanket of volcanic rock in the area about two million years ago, and scientists estimate that this event produced 2,500 times more ash than the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption. This geologically puny eruption, it should be noted, leveled a forest, tossed trees around like toothpicks, blew the top off a mountain, caused over a billion dollars in damage, and dumped ash onto 11 U.S. states and five Canadian provinces.
Early Sunday morning, a full moon will take over the night sky, along with a clear glimpse of Saturn nearby. The Thunder Moon with be completely full at 12:07 a.m. Eastern time on Sunday, when the Earth is directly between the Sun and the Moon, allowing for its full luminosity. As is typical of a summer full moon, it will be visible above the horizon for a shorter time than in winter months. This summer full moon will grace us for around 10 hours.
Why It’s Called the “Thunder Moon”
The names we use for full moons come from Indigenous titles given to each one hundreds of years ago. The names tend to correspond to natural characteristics of the season and can carry spiritual significance. April’s Pink Moon was named after the pink wildflower known as phlox, which blooms around the same time as the moon phase.
This moon has actually been gifted several names. The Thunder Moon comes from a charmingly obvious point of inspiration — summer is a time of constant thunderstorms around much of the U.S. Algonquins also called it the Full Buck Moon; at this time of year a male deer’s antlers are in full growth mode. The Tlingit, in the Pacific Northwest, referred to it as the Salmon Moon.
Best Spots to See It
The best views of the moon will be where it’s highest in the sky — in this case the southern U.S. will get a prime-time view. In Miami, the Thunder Moon’s altitude will reach 48 degrees above the horizon, making it one of the best places to see it. New Yorkers will get a decent view, with the Thunder Moon reaching a maximum altitude of 29.3 degrees. On the opposite side of the world, Australia will get the least optimal perspective, with the full moon beginning to rise about three hours after its full phase has already occurred, at 2:07 p.m. in Sydney.
If you’re fortunate enough to see the full moon at night, hopefully it won’t be too stormy to get a good view. If the evening lives up to this moon’s namesake, don’t lose hope: a near-full moon will be visible on Monday as well.
The first report of a flying saucer crash landing came in 1947 and was said to have happened near a military base in Roswell. It wasn't long before rumors spread about alien bodies found in the spacecraft.
UFO expert Nick Pope spoke to Inside Edition about the crash in Roswell in the canon of American history and pop culture.
“Roswell is really the ground zero of the UFO phenomenon," he said. "It's the place not just where there was a sighting, here the suggestion was that something crashed, if that's true, the U.S. government has in its hands definitive evidence that we are not alone."
Decades after the unusual sighting, Roswell continues to be invoked in movies like Independence Day, as well as TV shows like The X-Filesand the aptly named Roswell.
Many of the sci-fi films and shows feature Area 51, the Nevada Air Force Base rumored to secretly house the evidence of extra-terrestrial life.
Dave Grohl, who formed the Foo Fighters in 1994, named the group after the military's nickname for UFO. He also named his record label Roswell Records, as an homage to the area.
Through the years there have been all sorts of strange lights in the sky.
Many remain mysterious while others are explained, like a 10-ton meteor that exploded over Russia and caused panic when it hit Earth in 2013.
In 1995, the Roswell incident was back in the headlines when Ailien Autopsy: Fact or Fiction? aired on network television. It showed what was believed to be three military doctors performing an autopsy on an alien corpse recovered from the Roswell crash site in 1947. The footage was later exposed as a hoax.
The fascination with beings from outer space continues with a new series UFOs: Uncovering the Truth, which airs Saturday night on Destination America.
“What's fascinating is it's not just a UFO story, it's now firmly a part of American pop culture,” Pope said.

B1 Bomber accompanied by two UFOs above Glendale, California?
B1 Bomber accompanied by two UFOs above Glendale, California?
A resident from Glendale, California took an image of a B1 bomber while doing a flyby at rose bowl in Pasadena.
Although the event occurred in 2012, when looking the image on his computer again, he noticed two unknown flying objects close to the B1 bomber which he did not saw with the naked eye at the time he took the image.
Wondering what the objects might have been he submitted the image to Mufon registered under case 84936 asking ‘What are these two objects, birds, dirt on the lens or maybe UFOs”?

A bizarre video which purports to show a UFO disappearing inside another before they both vanish has left viewers scratching their heads.
The strange film has been seen in the diamond-rich region of Yakutia in Russia's Siberia province, but its origin and location is unclear.
A man called Semyon, who posed the weird footage, said: "An unidentified flying object was seen floating above houses. It had many lights, and also a vapour trail."
He added: "At the end of a short video a diamond-shaped brightly illuminated 'window' opens up above the flying object, which disappears into it."

People have puzzled overwhat the strange sight could be(Image: East2West)
The diamond-shaped object then vanishes.
"There is no information about when and where it happened," said Semyon.
One theory is that the video is a "performance" involving lasers and a drone.

This is not the first UFO which has appeared over this region.
In October last year, a series of bright green flashes were seen in the sky above Lake Baikal near the Mongolian border.
Initially people believed it was the tail of a International Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) test but this was later disproved and a leading astronomer said it was not a meteorite.
Lilia Mironova from the Astronomical Observatory at Buryat State University in Ulan-Ude told the Siberian Times it was "definitely man-made" as it was travelling too slow to be a meteorite, meteor or comet and if it had hit the ground there would have been a "shockwave".
Exactly 70 years ago, on 8 July 1947, one of the most famous UFO sightings was reported by the press and it captivated both common folks and UFO hunters for years.
It was the Roswell incident where witnesses claimed that the US military had captured an alien aircraft. In reality, or what US military maintained, it was the debris of a surveillance device from a classified operation that was spotted by people.
But many still believe that there was some extra-terrestrial activity that day and that there are aliens out there who have visited Earth from time to time! And not just this, conspiracy theorists are firm...
ASTRONOMERS DISCOVERED A SOLAR SYSTEM WITH 7 EARTH-SIZED PLANETS — AND IT’S THE PERFECT PLACE TO SEARCH FOR ALIEN LIFE
ASTRONOMERS DISCOVERED A SOLAR SYSTEM WITH 7 EARTH-SIZED PLANETS — AND IT’S THE PERFECT PLACE TO SEARCH FOR ALIEN LIFE
NASA just announced something fantastic! A solar system 39 light years from Earth with seven exoplanets.
But that’s not the best part: Each planet is similar in size to Earth.
This doesn’t mean they are all similar in composition to Earth, nor are they teeming with life, but the possibility is there.
Three of the seven planets live in the habitable zone, where liquid water can exist on large scales — think vast, deep oceans like on Earth. And where there’s water, there’s the potential for life, as we know it.
This planetary system was first discovered in early 2016, but we now know how rich it is in Earth-sized planets. In fact, it holds the record for the most number of Earth-sized planets in a single planetary system.
Do any of these planets harbor life? That’s a question that we’ll have to wait to see.
On the premiere episode of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, host, Ryan Sprague, introduces the listeners to the show and then speaks with historian and author, Richard Dolan, about the media and UFOs. They also discuss the possibility and forms of disclosure that may occur in a new American political era, and then they wrap things up by confronting the future of UFO studies.
Richard Dolan is the author of two volumes of history, ‘UFOs and the National Security State’, both ground-breaking works which together provide the most factually complete and accessible narrative of the UFO subject available anywhere. He also co-authored a speculative book about the future, ‘A.D. After Disclosure’, the first-ever analysis not only of how UFO secrecy might end, but of the all-important question: what happens next Richard’s latest work, ‘UFOs for the 21st Century Mind’, provides a fresh treatment of the entire subject. In it, he discusses the important sightings, the encounters, the politics, the cover-up, ancient aliens, the bizarre science, disclosure, and offers advice on being both critical and open-minded in today’s world. Like his previous three books, it asks fresh questions and offers new insights to further our understanding of the UFO mystery.
Richard hosts a weekly radio show, The Richard Dolan Show on KGRA Radio, is a frequent guest on Coast-to-Coast AM. He is currently featured on several television series and documentaries, including Ancient Aliens, Hangar One: The UFO Files, Close Encounters, and UFOs: The Lost Evidence.
Prior to his interest in UFOs, Richard completed his graduate work at the University of Rochester, where he studied U.S. Cold War strategy, European history, and international diplomacy. Before that, he had studied at Alfred University and Oxford University, and had been a finalist for a Rhodes scholarship. In addition to his research, Richard’s company, Richard Dolan Press, actively publishes innovative books by authors from around the world. His website is www.richarddolanpress.com
Somewhere in the Skies: A Human Approach to an Alien Phenomenon
by Ryan Sprague
Ordinary people are seeing extraordinary things in our skies. And while reports of UFOs and their possible occupants are littered with dates, times, and descriptions, they rarely focus on those who’ve actually experienced them. How have these dramatic and often traumatic events affected those involved? Could both the positive and negative implications, whether subtle or revelatory, further our knowledge of what exactly these phenomena represent? Through extremely detailed testimony from highly credible witnesses, including pilots and military personnel, and insight from those in the psychological, academic, and scientific fields, Somewhere in the Skies: A Human Approach to an Alien Phenomenon, is a personal journey that also weaves together a story of stories, furiously pumping new blood into the heart of these mysteries, one inextricable experience at a time.
