Several UFOs filmed from plane over Toluca, Mexico
Several UFOs filmed from plane over Toluca, Mexico
The pilot of a small plane, while preparing for landing at Toluca, Mexico on July 8, 2017 was left baffled when he observed several strange objects passing his plane.
More and more mid-air UFO encounters are reported and it is known that pilots have done evasive maneuvers to get out of the way.
And although it is not entirely clear whether these objects are UFOs or drones, I’m convinced there’s a potential threat posed by nearby unidentified flying object to commercial and private airplanes.
Shining Disc Caught On Video Flying Around Toronto Harbourfront
Shining Disc Caught On Video Flying Around Toronto Harbourfront
A video showing an unknown white shining diskhas made the rounds online, particularly among UFO communities. A couple at Toronto’s Harbourfront was in the city to join the celebration of Canada Day.
The video shows an apparent round object with the transparent or dark centre. The object in question appears and disappears many times in the video. It looks like a disk with a cut in the middle that seems like a vinyl record.
The reporting witness said that he and girlfriend were in the area to celebrate Canada Day on Sunday, July 2, 2017. He just reportedly happened to look at the sky and saw the white shining disk. In the background of the video, the boyfriend asks her girlfriend about what she thinks of the disk. The girlfriend first thought it was a kite or a drone, but soon started to realise that it wasn’t.
The couple further noticed the bright shininess of the disk as it moved in a circular motion. The reporting witness said that when the object disappeared in the clouds for good, a black helicopter appeared as if it was following the mysterious object.
Drones have appendages holding the rotors, especially the quad-copter variety. However, the object in the video does not have visible rotors. Balloons are often used during celebrations and fly with the wind, but they won’t disappear and appear like the object in the video.
A Plane Passenger Flying Around Havasu City In Arizona Captures A UFO On Video
A Plane Passenger Flying Around Havasu City In Arizona Captures A UFO On Video
A shining bright light had caught the attention of an aeroplane passenger flying on the 5th of July 2017. The witness, who flies weekly, found the strange light from his corner vision while passing the sky above Lake Havasu in Havasu City, Arizona.
He recorded the bizarre aerial thing on video. The witness describes the light as having a non-reflective gold shine. It was apparently moving in a northwesterly direction. The witness estimated that they were moving at around 484 mph ground speed at approximately 29000 in altitude.
Havasu City has its share of UFO sightings as dozens of witnesses reported their bizarre experience throughout the years.
Videos such as this one are often dismissed as a reflection of light from inside the aircraft. However, many argue on this particular video that the strange light does not appear to be a reflection and in fact moving on its own below the aircraft.
Many people find it hard to trust alleged UFO sightings as much as they want to believe. Photographic evidence of UFO sightings is usually too small and grainy. Clear images are often debunked as hoaxes too.
However, the following story features somewhat believable images. These images may not depict UFOs very well, but the truth may be even more unusual than many would think.
In 1971, an American Navy submarine USS Trepang was on a voyage in the Arctic Ocean to test its weapons under the ice caps.
An anonymous source claims that Klika saw a strange object flying overhead while looking through the periscope. What he did see would be 40 years before it was answered.
The French publication Top Secret printed images in an article in 2015 claiming that an unnamed source provided the photograph.
Beyond the photos, only a little information was provided, but some were officially marked “not to be released” and “Unauthorized Disclosure Subject.” Despite the markings that seem to be warnings, the publication printed 11 pictures; each one shows an apparent massive object hovering above and possibly crashing into the water.
The article of the images says that they are showing a triangular-shaped UFO without a doubt.
THE AVELEY ALIEN ABDUCTION: UFOS ABOVE OUR ESSEX COUNTRY LANES
THE AVELEY ALIEN ABDUCTION: UFOS ABOVE OUR ESSEX COUNTRY LANES
[The following information is sourced largely from renowned British Ufologist Andrew Collins’s report – The Aveley Abduction – compiled January 1978, along with other supporting online sources. At the time Collins called The Aveley Abduction “probably the most important British case ever” and it still gets heralded today as such by those in UFO research communities]
On late Sunday evening October 27th 1974, a run of the mill Essex family were driving a route between Harold Hill and Aveley to see relatives. The Avis family, consisting of John, aged 32, his wife, Elaine, aged 28, and their three children: Kevin, aged 10, Karen, aged 11, and Stuart, aged 7, were on Hacton Lane about one mile out from Hornchurch with, for them, the roads noticeably quiet even for a Sunday night.
Elaine recalled the car jerking violently as the mist curled around the car
At a point in the journey, it was Kevin, the only one of the children awake, who asked his parents about a light he could see above the country lane houses. Collins reports, “Glancing round, both John and Elaine saw, at an angle of about 25 degrees – 30 degrees above the skyline, an oval-shaped, pale blue iridescent light, like a big star, over the top of the houses to their left”.
John and Elaine standing on Aveley Road
The family remembered the “big star” seemed to be travelling in the same direction as the car, stopping and starting as it moved. The light seemed to “stay with them” but for periods where rows of trees on the country lanes would obscure the view, at which times in the early stages they would relax, thinking it may have gone. At first, John and Elaine thought it might be a helicopter light, but it was not long before the family began referring to it as a UFO.
The Avis family cleared the last of the houses, venturing into open countryside, eventually passing the White Hart pub. They were approaching country lanes near Upminster at about 30mph when they had a “terrible feeling that something was wrong”. Suddenly, the engine and tyres went silent and the only sound that could be heard was from their radio.
Then, as they went through a bend on Aveley Road, they could see, no more than 30 yards in front of them and covering the whole road, a thick mist, or fog, described as “dense green and banked about 8-9 feet high”.
The exact place where the green mist appeared has been drawn in
Just as the mist was seen by the Avis family, the radio started crackling and smoking, causing John to pull out its wires. Then they were engulfed by the fog, still travelling around 30mph. Elaine recalled the car jerking violently as the mist curled around the car.
With two children asleep and Kevin awake, John and Elaine recall it was “very light” inside the fog and that they “felt very cold”. A tingling sensation was felt, and there was dead silence. They recall being in the mist for “what seemed like a second or two” before they were out. There was a jolt described as “like a car going over a hump back bridge” and the “mist” was gone.
Elaine remembered asking “is everybody there?” with herself and John both feeling very nervous and frightened, although no ill effects were remembered and the two children aside from Kevin still asleep. The couple don’t recall talking a large amount about what had happened and the situation instead provoked a “let’s just get home” atmosphere. The couple expected it to be around 10:20pm when they arrived home, but it was 1am, leaving around three hours the couple could not account for.
The family reported unnerving incidents around the family home after the encounter including an object levitating
There were noticeable changes in the family following the incident, Collins reports. Before Christmas that year John had a nervous breakdown and stopped working, before later taking on a job working with mentally handicapped people, something he had wanted to do for years.
The job “fell into his lap”, a different direction from his usual carpentry and construction work; he would also begin writing poems about life. Elaine started attending college and reportedly grew in confidence. Additionally, John & Elaine stopped eating meat and became far more health conscious in their nutrition, with the taste of meat/fish now making them ill. And whereas before the incident they would “enjoy a good drink”, the couple would now not touch a drop of alcohol.
The couple reportedly also became very environmentally conscious, with John also quitting his “60 to 70 a day” smoking habit. Kevin’s reading age at school reportedly was “well beyond his years” whereas prior to the incident it had been reported as “backwards of his age”. The family reported unnerving incidents around the family home after the encounter including an object levitating, “clicking noises” and the sound of “Morse code”, and young Kevin reportedly seeing a strange figure beside his bed on one occasion, similar in looks to that of a clown.
Map of where the incident took place
When questioned by Collins, both John & Elaine would admit to strange dreams in which creatures would examine them on long tables and other visions of that ilk. At this point, Collins sought hypnotist Leonard Wilder to query the couple’s subconscious and see if these dreams were masking real abduction memories. John was first to agree to hypnosis while Elaine declined preferring to try and move on and “forget it” instead. It was decided hypnotising Kevin was not an option due to his age and the impression any memories may leave.
John, the first under hypnosis, began to remember that as the car entered the mist, he found himself in a big room with tall “peaceful” beings, in one-piece colourless suits. John recalled that they had pink eyes and communicated by telepathy. They put him on a table and ran a bar like instrument over his body. He asked where they came from; they showed him “a map but not a map”, and gave an explanation of which he could only remember “Phobos”. They travel, he was told, almost instantaneously. They explained how but he could not understand. A small being was present at the table; it had fur-like covering and made chirping sounds; it served the tall beings. Leonard Wilder remarked to Andrew Collins that John was an excellent subject for hypnosis, and a second session was arranged.
In the second session John remembered that when the car entered the mist, a white beam cut through it, and lifted the car. The next thing he knew was that they were in a very large room. Here, an “examiner,” “smaller than us,” with big eyes and a mouth “not like ours” examined him.
Based on a drawing by John. This is the head and shoulders of one of the tall entities
The tall beings had no visible mouths. John understood that their propulsion system used a magnetic “vortex”, though he had begun to mutter somewhat incoherently his responses at this point. He encountered only three of the tall beings, and only one communicated with him.
When John was asked the reason for the beings visit to earth, he replied, “No visit. They are here always.” Asked where they came from, he said “There was no need for them to say,” and that they have no need to return home; “they have more than one base,” he said.
After being brought out of hypnosis, he said that at this point he felt prevented from saying anything more (following questioning surrounding the beings origin). My understanding is that the sessions were stopped there as memories came flooding back naturally outside of hypnosis. Collins reports to have kept in touch with the family and that John & Elaine would later separate with the former moving to Scotland to live with a new partner.
The case is spoken of frequently in UFO circles and if you wish to know more of what happened, or Elaine’s account –check this link of the original report:

10 Bizarre Claims Of Alien/Human Hybrids
10 Bizarre Claims Of Alien/Human Hybrids
Of all the alien claims and theories out there, the ones that speak of an alien/human hybrid agenda might be the most outlandish. However, many people do make these claims to the world, and although they themselves sometimes note how crazy they sound, they insist that what they’re saying is real. While it is hard for even the most enthusiastic ufologist or alien researcher to take these statements entirely seriously, they are still very interesting ideas.
10 The Body In The Car
In July 2015, the story of a supposed alien hybrid government agent, who had been found decomposing in a car, appeared on several online media outlets. The man, who was eventually identified as Jeffrey Alan Lash, was found with over a thousand guns, as well as other weapons such as knives, machetes, and a bow and arrows. He also had seven tons of ammunition and cash amounting to $230,000.
In addition to the car he was discovered in—which was designed to be able to drive underwater, no less—he also owned 14 other vehicles.
His fiance, Catherine Nebron, made the off-the-wall announcement of his otherworldly origin through her attorney shortly after his death. She stated that Lash had confided in her several weeks before he died that he was working undercover for several unnamed government agencies. He had left Catherine with instructions to leave his body in the car when he died, and that “government agencies” would come to retrieve it.
Initial background checks on Lash didn’t uncover any sign of criminal activity on his part, and investigators didn’t suspect that he had been the victim of foul play. According to Nebron, he had begun to experience difficulty breathing, but he’d refused to let her call for medical assistance in the hours before his death.
9 Born In A Petri Dish
It wasn’t until Cynthia Crawford was in her ’30s that her father revealed to her that she was the result of a top-secret government program. She was, her father informed her, an alien/human hybrid created in a petri dish, and that as well as carrying human DNA, she had the DNA of two different alien races as part of her genetic makeup.
She claimed that she had encountered what she believed to be alien abductions many times throughout her life—which included medical procedures and impregnation—but that she now realized these experiences were more likely part of the program.
She was told by her father that, as a child, she was taken in the middle of the night to an underground military facility. There, she was regularly tested and examined by government agents there. Despite the many doubters to her story, no DNA testing has been volunteered by Crawford to confirm her claims. She is a regular speaker at numerous UFO and alien seminars across the United States.
8 Miguel Mendonca’s Proof Of Alien Hybrids
Miguel Mendonca is a leading expert on green energy and renewable power sources. He is also convinced that aliens are in the process of helping humans evolve into “higher beings” by implanting their DNA into pregnant women around the Earth.
Mendonca, from Bristol, England, co-authored the book Meet The Hybrids: The Lives and Missions of ET Ambassadors On Earth with respected and experienced UFO researcher, Barbara Lamb. In the book, he claims to have met several alien hybrids, all of whom state they are involved in a mission that will improve the human race.
Mendonca claims that DNA testing would be of little use to help prove his claims, as only human DNA would be detected and anything else would simply be ignored. He also stated that the hybrids themselves are against their DNA being taken for fear that governments would use it to create super soldiers that would be utilized by the military.
Mendonca stated that he went into the project with an open mind, but that he can “feel” the energy of the hybrids when he speaks with them and is convinced of their authenticity. He also states that he is very much an “academic” and has to be “sure of his facts.”
He believes this is why there are so many UFO sightings and that the hybrid agenda is the reason “they” are coming to Earth.
7 Celtic Genes
According to Hilary Porter, who says she has been abducted many times herself by aliens, extraterrestrials are specifically targeting people of Celtic descent in order to install an alien hybrid program. Porter is an experienced ufologist who is a regular speaker at UFO seminars. She even believes that one stretch of road in particular, between Swansea and Cardiff in Wales, is a “hot-spot” for UFO activity. Not only this, she says that the government is fully aware of what is happening, but they are “powerless to stop it.”
Porter believes that aliens are targeting people of Celtic descent as they feel their genes are better suited for creating a human/alien hybrid race, which she says is their ultimate goal.
Porter has conducted extensive research for over four decades which has led her to conclude that the alien hybrid agenda is very real. She also states that this agenda is not for the good of mankind, as many who make similar claims say it is. She says that although she and others have recalled pleasant memories from their experiences, this is nothing more than a “cover” or false memory implanted by the aliens themselves in order to hide the horrific events.
6 Jujuolui Kuita: Star Being
Author and ufologist Jujuolui Kuita claims to have had extraterrestrial experiences since she was five years old, and has since “awakened to her ET identity.” In 2010, she published the book We Are Among You Already, which told of how aliens were “incarnating” and creating alien/human hybrids right here on Earth. She also founded the East Bay UFO contact group the same year.
Kuita states that she is a star being who chose to “incarnate” on Earth as a human being (some are said to choose to do so as animals). According to Kuita, Mother Earth sent out a signal for help into the cosmos many decades ago. She further claims that she originates from the planet Faqui, which she says is in the Andromeda galaxy, and that her people are called Fajans.
Kuita believes her mission is to assist in awakening other star beings and ultimately raise the vibration of planet Earth, which she says is being monitored by countless beings throughout the cosmos.
5 The Indigo Children
There are claims of Indigo Children or Star Children—extremely intelligent and highly sensitive children—all over the world. While these are most likely just normal children who happen to have extremely high intelligence for their young ages, some claim that they are the result of genetic engineering. Two cases in particular appear to stand out
Jason Andrews’s first alien experience occurred on his fourth birthday in Kent, England, in 1987. As a violent storm proceeded to sweep over the area, Jason apparently began to mutter a series of numbers, seemingly in a trance-like state. As the storm took hold, the house the Andrews family lived in began to shake until Jason turned to his parents and calmly stated to them, “They are waiting for me—I have to go!”
The four-year-old boy then went to exit the property before his father wrestled him away from the front door. As suddenly as it had begun, the shaking of the house and the storm ceased, and Jason returned to his normal self. The family appeared to forget about the incident until eight years later, when Jason informed them that since that day, he had been abducted by strange beings that would come into his room and take him to some kind of operating table. His mother, Ann Andrews, along with UFO researcher and author Jean Ritchie, came to the conclusion that Jason was an Indigo Child, and this was the reason that the aliens had an interest in him. Jason himself, now in his thirties, states that he does have certain psychic and spiritual abilities.
Nikki Pattillo claims that her daughter, Maddy, is also an Indigo Child who has claimed several times to her that “her home is in the sky.” Pattillo claims Maddy has developed and shown otherworldly abilities, and she firmly believes that the girl carries alien DNA within her body. Pattillo wrote a book about her experiences titled Children of the Stars and stated that her daughter and many other alleged Star Children are the incarnation of spirits that have been sent to Earth from all over the universe for the benefit of the human race.
4 Hybrid Children And Alien Fathers
In January 2016, a story circulated the Internet regarding two young ladies who claimed they were mothers to multiple alien hybrid children. Bridget Neilson from Sedona and Aluna Verse from Los Angeles both claimed to be just two of many women who were part of the Hybridization Program.
Bridget claims to have 10 alien-hybrid children, while Aluna says that she has three otherworldly offspring. They claim that at the moment, their children are in a state of “suspended” childhood and live with their fathers onboard huge space ships. They hope that one day they can set up a community somewhere far from the city for themselves and other mothers of hybrid children. This they believe will allow their cosmic children to feel safe enough to visit them on Earth.
The aim of the hybridization program, according to Bridget, is to create a “super being” with the best of the genes from humans and aliens alike. Bridget claims to be in regular contact with all 10 of her children and says that hundreds of women around the world are mothers to hybrid children but simply do not realize it.
3 David Jacobs
David Jacobs taught American history for over 30 years at Temple University. He also recently made the claim that aliens had likely been abducting human beings for centuries in order to create alien/human hybrids who not only walk among us right now but are poised to take over the world. Jacobs is now the director at the International Centre for Abduction Research and has conducted interviews and studies of over 150 abductees.
He has also released several well-written and well-received books to make his argument to the wider public—all of which have been published by respected publishers.
He states that abductees, albeit under hypnosis, more often than not recall the exact same obscure details. They all speak of either human-like or insect-like aliens that appear to have a “need” to breed. Many female abductees frequently speak of being impregnated before having the fetus removed surgically, and then being forced to nurse the infant. He also reports that at the time of the alleged abductions, the person is usually genuinely physically missing, with many loved ones reporting the person missing before they suddenly reappear again.
Jacobs said recently that his work will either be “an interesting but nonessential footnote” or that it will prove to be “the most important thing that’s ever happened to humankind.” He says that he suspects that the aliens’ actions are for their benefit and not for ours.
2 Hybrids Created By Reptilians
Alien abductee and UFO researcher James Bartley recently made available online an interview he had conducted with a fellow abductee who had been sent to him by experienced researcher Barbara Bartholic. In the transcript, the abductee is referred to as “PR” to protect his identity.
PR told of his close-up experience with alien/human hybrids, who he said are a creation of the reptilians. Their main goal was to harvest the life force from humans.
Following the interview with PR, Bartley concluded that there are three types of alien hybrids on Earth. There are alien abductees who have had their genetic makeup altered by their abductors. There are “half-grey half-human” alien hybrids that are, according to Bartley, mostly present during abductions. And then there are hybrids that appear for the most part as normal human beings. It is this last type of hybrids that the reptilians have placed in positions of power around the world. Coincidentally or not, this last claim of hybrids is very much in line with author David Icke, who has made similar claims of reptilian hybrid aliens for the last two decades.
1 Eddie Page And The Secret Experiment
After years of confusion that included being arrested as a defector during a tour of Vietnam when he went missing for 11 days, a broken first marriage, and discovering he was adopted, Eddie Page finally discovered the truth about his existence. He was the product of a top-secret government experiment to produce an alien hybrid.
According to Page, his father is actually an alien from the Pleiades star system. He even claims that his official military documents state that he is “not of human origin.” Page states that during 1953 to 1955, there were experiments carried out on US citizens by aliens in exchange for providing alien technology to the US government.
He made the discoveries after he agreed to be hypnotically regressed. He recalled that the missing days he experienced in Vietnam were due to him being wounded on the mission he was on and consequently being taken by aliens and “patched up” before being returned to Earth—800 kilometers (500 mi) away from where he should have been. The rest of his unit died, and he has no doubt he would have died also if it hadn’t have been for their intervention.
Page further discovered that he was one of 32 clones who were part of the experiment—a total of 21 female clones and 11 (including Page) male clones. According to his research, only eight of those clones still alive, of which he is the only male.
Despite Page producing alleged medical records that he states shows his blood group is unidentified, as well as the fact that he has an extra vertebra and rib, the vast majority of people are skeptical of his claims, to say the least.

Alien Encounters – Lost Disney UFO Documentary
Alien Encounters – Lost Disney UFO Documentary
UFO hunter nexus r/UFOs have turned up a Disney documentary about UFOs and aliens that was originally used to promote the “ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter” experience (The Wikipedia page describes the attraction, hilariously, as “theater-in-the-round”) that anchored Disney World’s Tomorrowland from 1994 to 2003.
While numerous UFO sites are running the Disney documentary as a “lost” film, it has been available on YouTube for several years. Nevertheless, the “lost” Disney UFO documentary is a fascinating glimpse into both mainstream reportage on alien visitation and the modern UFO conspiracy mindset, which views the documentary as existing in a continuum of “disclosure” material designed to prime humans for the eventual reveal of extraterrestrial contact.
You can watch the Disney UFO documentary Alien Encounters: From New Tomorrowland, complete with Mickey Mouse, right here:
Redditor AnotherPint does a nice job characterizing the conspiracy mindset as it relates to this “lost” Disney UFO documentary:
“According to lore, the doc, which weirdly treats UFOs and aliens as virtually established fact, was shown once, without warning, on a few isolated small-market TV stations in quieter parts of the US, then stowed away.
The conspiracists’ view is that this was part of a covert government-Disney collaboration to test public reaction to UFO disclosure. But there is no evidence of this. It was merely a tie-in promotion for a new Disney World attraction.”
It was at a 1979 MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) Symposium when the alien disclosure theories surrounding Walt Disney first exploded into the conspiracist consciousness.
Some say it was just propaganda to promote the new attraction Tomorrowland. Here’s the IMDb but with little info except a couple reviews. One of which from someone who claimed to work there at the time.
“As someone who worked at Disney/Magic Kingdom/Tomorrowland in the 90’s, I know, without a shadow of doubt (and the reason is was only shown once) is that the ENTIRE THING was a publicity stunt to bring attention to the new ride Alien Encounters.
If you look at all the younger people being interviewed? They’re all wearing the exact costume that cast members from Alien Encounter wore. Some of the younger, no-name ‘witnesses’ were actually cast members from Opening Crew.
The ENTIRE thing – every second of it – was publicity for the new attraction.
The only reason it can’t be found now, is because Disney maintains control of it and it’s locked up in their archives. It was only shown in 5 cities, because they were target cities.
Last year, we showed you the massive size of the universe (hint, it’s REALLY big). But in a universe that large — and given the Milky Way Galaxy itself is so expansive — why haven’t aliens contacted us? That’s the essence of the Fermi Paradox.
The idea is this: It shouldn’t be out of the question that there are many sophisticated civilizations across the galaxy. Given the age of the Milky Way itself (about 13.21 billion years), even a cosmically small sliver of time (like 10 million years) should be enough for some type of contact to occur.
Italian physicist Enrico Fermi is credited with bringing this question into the scientific forefront. According to stories, the genesis of the Fermi Paradox came during a 1950 lunchtime discussion with colleagues. They all thought it reasonable to speculate that we were not alone, and that we likely have a lot of company. But Fermi began to wonder, if that’s true then where is everyone?
Think about it in terms of humankind’s own space accomplishments. We’re on the cusp of interstellar space travel, and likely will send our first interstellar probes within the next few decades. That’s less than a century after mankind first sent a human being into space. In hundreds, thousands, if not millions of years, what could we do?
This point wasn’t lost on Fermi and his companions, even years before the first humans made it to space. An alien race should have no trouble colonizing the galaxy with a decent amount of rocket technology and some imperial wherewithal — especially in ten million years.
But scientists need proof though, and there’s little if any scientifically accepted evidence to back up the notion that we’re not alone in the universe. Even so, and using physics as an excuse for limiting speed of any alien spacecraft, it just doesn’t make sense.
Take Proxima Centauri, for example. Even going just a quarter of the speed of light, an alien craft could make it to Earth in 16 years. The planets around Gilese, 60 years. The slew of potentially habitable planets around TRAPPIST-1? About 160 years. That’s a long time, but nowhere near the 10 million year timeframe Fermi and his colleagues discussed, and a drop in the bucket when compared to the age of the Milky Way Galaxy itself.
The Drake Equation
Let’s shift gears to understand further why the Fermi Paradox gives astrophysicists fits. The Drake Equation is a simple mathematical formula first proposed by astronomer Frank Drake in 1961. Simply put, it tries to estimate the number of technologically advanced and communicating societies present in the galaxy. It looks like this:
Over the years, many astrophysicists have attempted to estimate each of the values, but here’s what they have come up with. R can also be thought of as the number of stars in the galaxy, which is currently estimated at 100 billion. Even on the low end, the fraction of good stars with planetary systems is thought to be about 20 percent, and those with “ecoshells” — life sustaining atmospheres — thought to be at least one per star. For the sake of argument, let’s say only 10 percent could actually develop lifeforms capable of human intelligence and communication. We’re eliminating quite a few possibilities, since that’s 10 percent of 10 percent of 10 percent.
Finally, “L” is a fraction of time the planet has borne communicable life. We’ll assume that they’ve been on their planet for as long as we have, so we make this 1/100,000,000. So, we’ve been awfully pessimistic. What is our result?
Two. So us, and somebody — or thing — else. It’s hard to believe that other civilizations haven’t been around longer than us. There are also other pre-technology civilizations that Drake’s Equation doesn’t even address. This leaves us with even more questions.
The Kardashev Scale
Adding to the debate is something called the Kardashev scale. Created by Soviet Russian astronomer Nikolai Kardashev, it classifies civilizations by the amount of usable energy they can harness. These classes are:
Type I. This civilization has the ability to use all energy available on their planet.
Type II. This civilization can harness all the energy radiated by its star.
Type III. This civilization can harness the energy of the entire galaxy.
Carl Sagan put us about 70 percent of the way to Type I, and we should be able to achieve it within a century or two. Current calculations estimate we will reach Type II in a few thousand years, and to Type III within 100,000 to a million years.
At Type II or III, a civilization should be able to speed across the galaxy at close to the speed of light (or faster, if they’ve managed to discover ways to bend the current laws of physics). Things get even more mysterious.
So what gives?
The problem with the Fermi Paradox is that we might not ever be able to confirm or deny it, unless we either gain the technology to scan every planet in the galaxy, find aliens ourselves, or they find us. In the meantime, we’re left to speculate why we still haven’t heard from any galactic neighbors.
The Great Filter
One explanation is known as The Great Filter theory. In simplified terms, “The Great Filter” is an evolutionary step that is so difficult to surpass that most civilizations cannot surpass it. This prevents civilizations that could eventually gain spacefaring capabilities from doing so, simply because they destroy themselves first.
But there’s no consensus on where this Great Filter is located on the path from the origins of a civilization to a Type III on the Kardashev scale. Some even argue that we’ve already surpassed it, or that there are actually multiple ‘Great Filters.’ We also have no way of knowing how far we’ve come in the process, and we could simply be the most evolved species currently in existence.
Another version of the theory argues that we haven’t even made it to one of these Great Filters, and that we’re destined for destruction just like everybody else. The discovery of fossilized complex lifeforms on other planets could lend credence to this theory — but that hasn’t happened yet.
There’s a reason for the silence
Another line of reasoning speculates that it’s not necessarily the Great Filter, but a host of other reasons for why we haven’t heard from aliens yet. Here are a few possibilities:
They were already here.
Aliens could have visited us thousands of years ago, and we’d have no way of knowing. Early humans had no way to describe what they were seeing in modern terms. In fact, they’d probably consider it a sign from God himself. But there is merit to this theory, in spite of that crazy-haired guy from Ancient Aliens. Some of the structures built by early man are so extraordinarily complex that they defy explanation even in our modern society.
They’re too advanced, and don’t care.
Galactic snobbery may be at play. Spacefaring societies may already know about us, but believe Earth has nothing to offer. So they pass us by, and will continue to do so until we’re interesting to them.
We live in the Galactic version of the boondocks.
Other portions of the galaxy may already be colonized, it’s just that Earth and the solar system are in a remote area. This would prevent them from getting to us easily, and vice-versa.
Safety reasons.
interstellar chatter might attract the attention of aggressive species aimed at galactic domination — think Star Trek’s Borg. This species may have also wiped out other communicative species, which is actually a tad bit scary if you think about it. We could be next!
We’re too primitive.
Maybe signals from other civilizations are already out there, and our current communications technologies are too primitive to either pick out those signals, or we’re listening the wrong way (applying our techniques for communication transmission to an alien society which might be doing things completely differently). Think of it like turning on the radio to the wrong station.
We live in The Matrix.
Perhaps the most depressing explanation is that none of this reality is actually real, and it’s all just a simulation. The theory has gained some speed over the past decade or two, and it would indicate that we are alone, and an experiment for another, far more advanced civilization’s scientific curiosity.
As you can see, there’s a multitude of reasons — all of them even in the slightest bit plausible — for why the search for alien life has come up fruitless. But until we find concrete proof, the Fermi Paradox will continue to keep astrophysicists busy trying to explain the eerie galactic silence.
It might not be Fermi after all…
In the interest of complete accuracy, we should mention that Fermi was not the first scientist to speculate on this issue, and some accounts dispute he was even speaking of the lack of alien contact in terms of the actual existence of alien life during that lunch conversation. As early as 1933 astronautical theorist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky was speculating on many of the same issues that Fermi is credited for, although in unpublished manuscripts.
Fermi’s rumored discussions were the first to be extensively debated in the scientific community, and he’s received many of the accolades — fair or not.
Scientists are still baffled by how Iapetus – the third largest of Saturn’s 62 moons – formed, as it does not seem to show similar formation patterns to the other ringed planet’s lunar satellites such as Titan and Rhea.
An image taken by Nasa’s unmanned Cassini spacecraft in 2004 shows a line that stretched around the entire moon, leading to theories that it was once two metallic structures that had been welded together.
The shape of the moon is eerily similar to that of the Death Star in Star Wars with some suggesting that movie makers have been slowly feeding the public information.
Conspiracy theory channel SecureTeam10 said in a video: “There’ some very prominent researchers out there who have theorised that Iapetus is a constructed object, it’s artificial.
Iapetus looks like the Death Star, according to conspiracy theory
“We go back to Hollywood drip feeding us bits of truth.
“We didn’t even have close up images of Iapetus, supposedly, when the Star Wars films came out in the 70s.
GETTY
The ridge of Iapetus
“Yet decades later we finally have some great close-up image and it’s identical to this fictional artificial weapon that is disguised as a planet in the Star War films.”
The huge ridge along the centre of the moon is 16,000 kilometres long and 20 kilometres high – almost double the size of Earth’s largest mountain Mount Everest.
NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute
Saturn's moon Iapetus
This, according to the narrator of the video, is proof that it has been pieced together.
The video continues: “It looks as if there were two separate pieces and it’s almost as if they were welded together.
“There is a large welding mark wrapping around the crater as if they were two separate pieces that were cut down the middle and connected together.”
However, astronomers say that the most likely explanation for the giant ridge is that the moon expanded very quickly in its early days, causing ice to collect at the centre.

Here's The Real Reason Why We Still Haven't Found Alien Life

Here's The Real Reason Why We Still Haven't Found Alien Life
We're already going extinct.
CARLA LANT, FUTURISM
The Milky Way Galaxy alone is home to between 100 billion and 400 billion stars, and each is potentially orbited by planets. There are probably at least two trillion galaxies like ours in the observable universe, each one populated by trillions of planets orbiting hundreds of billions of stars.
Even if planets capable of sustaining life are exceedingly rare, on the numbers alone there should be intelligent life somewhere in the universe.
For example, according to Business Insider, if a mere 0.1 percent of planets in our galaxy that might be habitable harboured life, that would mean there were about a million planets with life on them.
These numbers prompted Nobel Prize-winning physicist Enrico Fermi to ask in regard to alien life forms: "Where are they?" This question has come to be known as the Fermi paradox, and most possible answers to it would be concerning for humans.
Of particular concern is the "Great Filter" hypothesis, which posits that before intelligent life has the opportunity to escape the bounds of its original planet, it hits some sort of wall - the Great Filter.
There are certain transitional moments from an evolutionary perspective that any planet like ours would have to master before communicating with other worlds. Some happen in the early stages of life, and in our case, we may be running up against that filter at this point in our evolution.
Climate change, if it is allowed to continue, will eventually devastate much of life on Earth as we know it. It was the remarkably stable climate of the past 12,000 years or so that has allowed human civilisation to flourish, benefitting from agriculture and eventually industrialisation (although ironically that may also be our undoing).
Recent research points to several characteristics of species more likely to survive the rigours of a planet ravaged by climate change: two of the most vital being an indiscriminate palate and a rapid reproductive cycle. Therefore, humans are basically the opposite of the types of creatures considered to be prime survivors.
In other words, although things wouldn't unfold in the same ways on different planets, it's possible that there are so many hurdles for life to clear that other civilisations haven't made it.
David Wallace-Wells wrote in New York Magazine: "In a universe that is many billions of years old, with star systems separated as much by time as by space, civilisations might emerge and develop and burn themselves up simply too fast to ever find one another ... The mass extinction we are now living through has only just begun; so much more dying is coming."
Other thinkers have different answers to the Fermi paradox, which are even more depressing (or less - depending on your perspective).
Oxford neuroscientist Anders Sandberg, Astronomical Observatory of Belgrade member Milan Ćirković, and artificial intelligence (AI) expert Stuart Armstrong have suggested that aliens aren't extinct, but are in hibernation, waiting for the universe to cool.
Professor Zaza Osmanov of the Free University of Tbilisi believes that our search for signs of alien megastructures has yet to be rewarded because we are looking around stars when we should be looking around pulsars.
And physicist Brian Cox suggests yet another possibility; a cautionary tale for our own civilisation as well as any others.
"It may be that the growth of science and engineering inevitably outstrips the development of political expertise, leading to disaster," says Cox.
If intelligent life unwittingly renders itself extinct as soon as it advances sufficiently, the physicist believes, "we could be approaching that position."
For The First Time, Scientists Have Captured 'Alien Ice' Crystallising on Earth
So cool.
PETER DOCKRILL
Not all ice is the same. In distant realms far beyond this world's Slurpees, melting glaciers, and the Ice Bucket Challenge, water hardens into a solid state in strange ways that just aren't possible here on Planet Earth.
Now, for the first time, scientists have managed to catch one of these alien, otherworldly ices in the act as it crystallises – recording water freezing into a structure called Ice VII (aka 'ice seven') under extreme, controlled conditions in the lab.
"These experiments with water are the first of their kind, allowing us to witness a fundamental disorder-to-order transition in one of the most abundant molecules in the Universe," says geophysicist Arianna Gleason from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.
But wait – if you're wondering what happened to Ices I through to VI already, you've got another thing coming. There are actually around 20 known crystalline phases of ice, and only two of them – hexagonal ice and cubic ice – occur naturally on Earth.
Hexagonal ice, also known as Ice Ih (ice one h), is the structure of pretty much all the frozen water humans ever come into contact with on Earth's surface, while cubic ice (Ice Ic, or ice one c) is thought to sometimes form in our planet's upper atmosphere.

All the other kinds of ice would only occur in conditions involving extreme temperatures or pressures not found here on Earth. Sometimes scientists can replicate those parameters in the lab and artificially create foreign ice structures, while at other times they only exist in simulations, being too difficult to actually synthesise.
In the case of Ice VII, this incredibly dense form is thought to naturally occur when icy planetary bodies collide in space, bringing an insane amount of pressure to bear on any liquid water molecules caught in the squeeze.
To recreate the intensity of such a hypothetical clash, Gleason's team fired a laser at a layer of diamond adjacent to a small cell containing liquid water.
Doing so vaporised the diamond and generated an intense shock wave, compressing the water to a pressure some 50,000 times greater than the Earth's atmospheric pressure at sea level and triggering the phase change from liquid to solid.
At the exact same instant, pulses from a strobing X-ray laser imaged the water as it underwent its transformation, providing the first record of Ice VII crystallising on Earth.
"We discovered that we can transform the liquid into a solid just by moving the shock wave through. And during that tiny, short amount of time – it really is only a few nanoseconds, that's a billionth of a second – we probe with these ultrafast and brilliant X-ray pulses."
According to the team, this kind of laser setup could help scientists to capture some of the other mysterious ice structures at the moment of crystallisation – and the things we can learn from studying these molecular transitions aren't purely theoretical.
With Ice VII, for instance, knowing how ice crystals form on icy moons and comets could help us prepare for future space exploration to destinations like Jupiter's moon Europa, and help us understand why impact craters form the way they do on battered off-world landscapes.
According to planetary scientist Sarah Stewart from the University of California, Davis, who wasn't involved with the study, there's no shortage of demand for these kinds of insights.
"Looking at the fundamental materials that are everywhere in the Solar System to understand what happens under dynamic pressure," she told Space.com, "as a materials scientist, you eat this up."
The sensational claim was made by Dr Norman Bergrun, a well respected engineer who held a position at Nasa’s Ames Research Centre.
Dr Bergrun said that "living alien UFO spaceships” are using the rings of Saturn as a hiding spot and that they are “proliferating” at am alarming rate.
The former Nasa employee has previously said that the amount of spaceships has reached “critical” levels, and that authorities should keep an eye on it.
He added that the rings have become so compact with UFOs that they are now starting to gather around the likes of Jupiter and Neptune.
Saturn is hiding aliens, according to Norman Bergrund
Dr Bergrun: "What I found out is, these things inhabit Saturn, that’s where I first discovered them, and they’re proliferating. You can find them around Uranus and Jupiter.
"Wherever you see some rings, that’s where I see the aircrafts, I call them a ring maker.
YOUTUBE
Dr Norman Bergrun
"I say that it is electromagnetic because I can identify streamline patterns with respect to it that I knew were what we called 'potential lines' and that says it was electrical."
Prominent UFO hunter Scott C Waring believes that Dr Bergrun has blown the lid on Nasa’s biggest secret.
NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute
Some point to this break in Saturn's rings as signs of alien activity
He wrote on his alien-dedicated blog UFO Sightings Daily: "Norman Bergrun worked in a top secret area inside the US government and has personally witnessed seeing photos directly from Nasa that had UFO near Saturn that make the rings around Saturn.
"He says he has personally seen an increase of alien ship activity among the rings of Saturn over his career. Something has to be done."

The Most Interesting Science News Articles of the Week
The Most Interesting Science News Articles of the Week
By Live Science Staff
Each week we uncover the most interesting and informative articles from around the world, here are 10 of the coolest stories in science this week.
Teleportation Records
Chinese scientists have just shattered a record in teleportation. No, they haven't beamed anyone up to a spaceship. Rather, they sent a packet of information from Tibet to a satellite in orbit, up to 870 miles (1,400 kilometers) above the Earth's surface.
Experiments like this have been done before, but Howard Wiseman, director of the Center for Quantum Dynamics at Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia, told Live Science in an email that this one expands the possibilities for the technology. [Read more about the big jump.]
A Big Break

One of the largest icebergs ever recorded, packing about a trillion tons of ice or enough to fill up two Lake Eries, has just split off from Antarctica, in a much anticipated, though not celebrated, calving event.
The iceberg was expected, though scientists didn't know when the crack in the ice sheet would finally release the floating chunk. The rift in the Larsen C ice shelf — the fourth-largest shelf in Antarctica — has been around for decades. [Read more about the giant iceberg.]
Nasty Mess
A truck filled with slime eels, or hagfish, recently overturned on an Oregon highway, covering the entire roadway in slimy goo.
A truck carrying a bunch of slime eels recently crashed on the highway in Oregon, releasing a mind-boggling amount of slime and forcing the highway to close.
It turns out that the creatures aren't truly eels at all, but are hagfish, or primitive, bottom-dwelling fish that use their slime to fend off predators, several experts said. [Read more about the slimy situation.]
Super-Sized Super Soaker

If you're going to challenge someone to a water gun fight this summer, it's best you don't take up arms against Mark Rober, a former NASA engineer who has created the world's largest Super Soaker.
The Super Soaker that Rober made with his friends works in a slightly different manner. It would be too cumbersome and difficult to pump up a 7-foot-long pistol, so instead, they installed two tanks — one with high-pressure nitrogen gas and the other with water — in the gun's handle. [Read more about the big gun.]
Water Bears are Tough

If you thought flash drives were small, wait until you see this: Researchers have encoded the data to make a short video into the DNA molecules of bacteria. They also were able to retrieve the information from the genetic code and play back the movie.
Although it may seem like this project would have very limited applications to real life, researchers say they have goals far beyond the scope of the current study. [Read more about the movie.]

A German cryptography machine found at a flea market recently fetched $51,000 at auction.
Enigma machines were special encryption machines that were used by the Germans during World War II to send secure messages to their forces. While the initial code was cracked by Polish mathematicians on the eve of World War II, that didn't get them very far. [Read more about the rare machine.]

A cache of secret letters has been unearthed near the site of an ancient Roman fort in the United Kingdom.
The trove of Roman letters was in surprisingly pristine condition, thanks to the oxygen-free, or anaerobic, conditions in which they were buried. As a result, bacteria that normally degrade such items over time have not had a chance to attack the artifacts. [Read more about the birthday wishes.]
Early Animals, Special Powers
Frond-like rangeomorphs were among the first nonmicroscopic life-forms on Earth. These weird animals could be anywhere from a few centimeters to 2 meters (6.5 feet) tall.

Some of Earth's first large animals were shape-shifters, new research suggests.
Now, new measurements of these frondy fossils suggest that these animals, called rangeomorphs, were able to adjust their body size in response to changing ocean conditions. This shape-shifting ability may have enabled them to grow very large, very quickly. [Read more about the shape-shifters.]

You can now feast your eyes on the first up-close photos of Jupiter's famous Great Red Spot ever taken.
On Monday night (July 10), NASA's Juno spacecraft zoomed just 5,600 miles (9,000 kilometers) above the mammoth storm's cloud tops — closer than any probe had gotten before.
"For generations, people from all over the world and all walks of life have marveled over the Great Red Spot," Juno principal investigator Scott Bolton, from the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, said in a statement before the flyby. "Now we are finally going to see what this storm looks like up close and personal."
The images that the probe's JunoCam instrument snapped during the close encounter have come down to Earth, NASA announced today (July 12), and the agency is urging anyone who's interested to have a go at processing the photos. You can do so on the mission's JunoCam page.

The Great Red Spot has been swirling for centuries; astronomers have been monitoring it since 1830, NASA officials said. The storm is about 10,000 miles (16,000 km) wide, making it considerably bigger than the entire Earth. (Earth's diameter is about 7,900 miles, or 12,700 km).
But the Great Red Spot used to be even bigger; the storm has been shrinking for decades, though the rate at which this is occurring has slowed recently.

Juno launched in August 2011 on a $1.1 billion mission to investigate Jupiter's composition, interior structure, formation and evolutionary history. The probe reached Jupiter on July 4 of last year, settling into a highly elliptical orbit that takes 53.5 Earth days to complete.
Juno collects most of its data during its closest passes by the solar system's largest planet. The Great Red Spot photos were taken during the latest such encounter — the sixth science flyby Juno has performed. (The spacecraft has actually performed seven close flybys, if you count the one that occurred during its orbital arrival, when Juno's science instruments were off.)
Juno's mission is scheduled to run through at least February 2018.
Vreemde objecten op schilderij zorgen voor beroering. Waren er aliens aanwezig bij de kruisiging van Jezus
Vreemde objecten op schilderij zorgen voor beroering. Waren er aliens aanwezig bij de kruisiging van Jezus?
In de Svetitschoveli-kathedraal in Georgië is een afbeelding van Jezus te zien die onder complottheoretici voor nogal wat beroering zorgt. Dat schrijft de Daily Express.
De afbeelding toont een menigte rond Jezus terwijl hij wordt gekruisigd. In de hoeken zijn een soort vliegende objecten zichtbaar. De objecten zijn koepelvormig en laten een spoor achter.
Historici die het 11e-eeuwse schilderij hebben bestudeerd zeggen dat de vreemde objecten beschermengelen zijn.
Belangrijke rol
Maar tijdens de Byzantijnse periode, die in het zuidoosten van Europa en het zuidwesten van Azië duurde tot de jaren 1450, werden engelen afgebeeld als mensachtigen met vleugels.
“De onbekende kunstenaar lijkt ons te vertellen dat deze vliegende schotels aanwezig waren bij de dood van Jezus,” schrijft de website The Ancient Aliens.
“De gezichten wijzen erop dat deze vaartuigen werden bestuurd door mensen of wezens die een belangrijke rol speelden bij de gebeurtenis,” klinkt het.
Gedaanteverwisselaar
Jezus Christus en het christendom zijn door de jaren heen al vaak gelinkt aan buitenaardse activiteit, aldus de Express.
Uit oude Egyptische teksten zou bijvoorbeeld zijn gebleken dat hij een gedaanteverwisselaar was die soms onzichtbaar was en kon vliegen.
De teksten, die zijn bestudeerd door professor Roelof van den Broek van de Universiteit Utrecht, bevatten een aantal opvallende passages.
Verdween
Zo zou stadhouder Pontius Pilatus hebben gezien hoe Jezus voor zijn ogen verdween. En in een droom zag hij Jezus vliegen.
Ook vroegen de autoriteiten Judas volgens de teksten om hem te identificeren door hem te kussen omdat hij van gedaante kon verwisselen.
De teksten, geschreven door bisschop Cyrillus van Jeruzalem, werden uiteindelijk niet opgenomen in de Bijbel.
MEXICAANSE PILOOT KOMT UFO'S TEGEN TIJDENS LANDING ( VIDEO )
MEXICAANSE PILOOT KOMT UFO'S TEGEN TIJDENS LANDING ( VIDEO )
Of er steeds meer UFO’s voor komen of dat ze zich vaker in de buurt van vliegtuigen begeven, is niet helemaal duidelijk, maar ze worden steeds vaker dichtbij vliegtuigen gesignaleerd.
Ongeveer een week geleden is een piloot van een klein vliegtuig bezig met de voorbereiding voor een landing in de Mexicaanse plaats Toluca wanneer er meerdere vreemde objecten langs zijn cockpitraam vliegen.
Wanneer je als piloot in een vliegtuig zit en er vliegen onbekende objecten rakelings langs je cockpitraam, dan zit je toch niet echt lekker ontspannen in je stoel.
Hierna volgen de beelden en als je goed kijkt, zie je meerdere objecten langs het raam van de cockpit vliegen op hele kleine afstand van het vliegtuig.
Wat we niet weten is of deze piloot de volgende dag is gebeld door Marcel Hulspas namens de Stichting Skepsis om hem te vertellen dat hij discolichten heeft gezien.
De man vliegt met zijn drone boven het Heaton Park met daaraan een camera gemonteerd die opnames maakt.
Dan zijn er dingen te zien zoals op de volgende afbeelding.
En net zoals met het vliegtuig in Mexico zie je ook hierna in de bewegende beelden diverse objecten langs de drone schieten.
Voor zover ons bekend heeft nog niemand een verklaring gevonden voor deze vreemde objecten.
Naast vliegende objecten die worden gefilmd vanuit vliegtuig of drone zien we ook regelmatig opnames van UFO’s bij vliegtuigen die vanaf de grond worden gefilmd.
Enkele dagen geleden filmden en fotografeerden meerdere mensen in Londen UFO's in de buurt van de aanvliegroutes naar vliegvelden en nu is er een vergelijkbare opname uit Slovakije.
Hierna de bewegende beelden en het betreft hier meerdere UFO’s die zich in de buurt van een passagierstoestel ophouden.
Mocht iemand een verklaring hebben voor wat hier allemaal gebeurt, dan horen we dat graag.
fel oranje (het leek vlammend) bollen die in rechte formatie met dezelfde snelheid en dezelfde afstand van elkaar vlogen van richting oost naar west. Vanuit arm lengte gezien hadden ze ongeveer de grote van een stuiver.(zie filmpje). Ze vlogen op grote hoogte, althans zo leek het en verplaatsten zich sneller dan een vliegtuig zo leek het. Ik heb een aantal jaar geleden deze bollen ook al een keer gezien, alleen waren dat er meer (6 stuks in formatie) alleen deze vlogen dynamisch.
“Nobody has proven that it is a fraud. We are going to present preliminary evidence that will determine in the eyes of the media, that these are true specimen. And if there are still doubts that this is real, the obligation of Peruvians and the whole world is to preserve these bodies to find a true answer.”
If those three-fingered humanoid mummies allegedly discovered and revealed to the public in Peru over the past two months could count off for roll call, they’d need two hands. At a press conference this week in Lima, mummy spokesperson and journalist Jaime Maussan announced that there are now five confirmed bodies so far – bodies that he and Gaia.com, his partners in the recovery, are calling “The Mummies of Nazca.” Which will they run out of first – mummies or fingers?
During the press conference, Maussan presented a number of X-rays of what he claimed were skeletons inside the mummies which resemble plaster statues more than the more familiar cloth-wrapped mummies of Egypt and movies. As in previous teaser videos for the pay-to-view series from Gaia.com on the mummies, he claims they are over 1,700 years old, which is also the speculated age of the famous Nazca lines, conveniently connecting the two without actually proving it.
Jaime Maussan (Ruptly)
This is the first time that anyone involved with the mummies has revealed how many have been found, possible relationships between them and what species they resemble.
“Apparently the body of a baby with the same characteristics according to the first analysis could be related. However, now it is necessary to perform a DNA test to be able to determine the relationship between the two. Those are two bodies and there are three of which seem to have characteristics that are closer to reptiles than to humans. That is, we have five bodies.”
Five bodies, at least one a baby, and three that look like reptiles. This has Reptilian fans sweaty, while the elongated skulls have the grey believers salivating. No one can explain the tree-fingered hands and three-toed feet, which has prompted some to declare this a new species among aliens as well as humanoids. That body count of five doesn’t seem to include the headless mini-mummy revealed earlier this week, unless that’s the baby.
One thing that has remained the same in all of these teaser videos is some variation of this statement:
“… now it is necessary to perform a DNA test …”
The rest of us knew that from day one. What are they waiting for … other than all four episodes of the series to run first?
Stay tuned and be grateful you can count to 7 without removing your shoes.
The cryptic drawings, known as petroglyphs, appear to show two men in helmets with strange weapons – proof that ancient astronauts came to Earth, according to some.
The petroglyphs seem to show the strange figures in protective suits, while white lines also seem to be coming from the heads, with some suggesting that it depicts lights built into the helmets.
The drawings in Valcamonica, near to the central Alps in northern Italy, are believed to be 10,000 years old and are part of a collection of more than 200,000 petroglyphs carved into the rocks of the valley.
Most of the drawings are of symbols and animals, but a few, such as these ancient astronaut drawings, stand out for their bizarre nature.
Conspiracy website Unknown5 said: “Believers in ancient alien theories point to these rock carvings as evidence of prehistoric alien visits to earth, and claim that the drawings were the people of the area recording what they were witnessing.”
In 1979, the collection of petroglyphs were recognised by UNESCO as a world heritage site – Italy’s first.

Some point to the pyramids as evidence of aliens
Conspiracy theorists believe that aliens are depicted through human history, claiming that ET has guided mankind’s evolution.
They point to things such as the mystery still surrounding the building of the pyramids and various other rock drawings as proof that aliens have come to Earth to give our ancestors a helping hand.
Billionaire space entrepreneur Robert Bigelow, CEO of commercial space company Bigelow Aerospace, is just one influential person who believes that aliens have been to Earth, and are still here.
He recently told CBS’s ’60 Minutes’: "I'm absolutely convinced [that aliens have visited] and that's all there is to it.
"There has been and there is an existing presence, an ET presence."
Part 2: Whatever happened to Kenneth Arnold and his Flying Saucers?
It is, to say the least, an unusual signature; ‘Kim’, surmounted by an unusual bat-wing shape in motion. For my benefit, Kim Purvis wrote a brief explanatory note next to her signatory glyph:
‘one of my dad’s saucers!!! 2nd from the last in group of 9 over Mt. Rainier in State of Washington.’
Kim’s maiden name is Arnold, and her father, Kenneth, changed world history by reporting seeing nine unusual aerial objects on June 24th 1947, comparing their motion to ‘a saucer if you skip it across the water’. Estimating their speed at a then staggering 1200 mph, he reported what he saw, Kim told me, ‘out of the deep fear for the military protection of our nation. He felt that this speed in combination with nuclear weapons could easily have destroyed our great nation.’
The contemporary records portray the businessman and private pilot as a respectable man who sincerely believed he saw something of genuine significance and reported it as such. But thereafter became embroiled in a media sensation that did not always treat him kindly, especially what became known as the Maury Island hoax, and perhaps the more exotic theory he eventually developed about his seminal report.
The Arnold Legacy
Kim Arnold became the guardian of his legacy, and so I contacted her whilst researching the potential TV series The Secret History of Flying Saucers. She was initially wary about my contact, explaining:
‘My father was interviewed by BBC Television years ago. They…re-enacted his original sighting over Mt. Rainier [and] promised him honourable representation in their documentary. Their creative results were not what they promised. My father wrote them a 2 page letter stating his personal dissatisfaction (I have recently checked on the existence of any original footage of this interview, they have discarded it). He never heard from them again and could do nothing to alter their finished product.’
However, she eventually and enthusiastically agreed to co-operate with my project. Of obvious interest were any cine-film records of her father, or shot by her father. Not least because in the book he co-authored with fantasy magazine publisher Ray Palmer, The Coming of the Saucers, Arnold stated he had another sighting of multiple aerial objects, no more than 2 feet in diameter and brass coloured, which he filmed from his aircraft. Did this film survive?
‘I do not have any of the film with the golden objects or saucers that my father took…it was so bad…If I did identify it…I tossed it. When I was going over the film[s], I had the help of a professional movie producer…so don’t think that I threw out anything of value,” [verbatim] wrote Kim.
Tape Recording
There were, however, other historical treasures in the archives. Kim told me she had discovered an audio recording dating to 1950, wherein her father had re-flown his fateful flight to Mt Rainier, Washington State, narrating recollections of his 1947 sighting. This recording evidently lasts some 40 minutes and is surely of vital importance to historians of the subject.
As to the Maury Island affair, it became the prototype of almost every conspiracy theory that would dog the subject thereafter. Kenneth Arnold’s investigation of a reported multiple saucer sighting by one Harold Dahl and Fred Crisman involved claims of mysterious debris disgorged by one of the saucers, threats to Dahl from a ‘man in black’ and the tragic death of investigating Army Air Force Intelligence Officers whose plane crashed on the return flight from collecting samples of the ‘debris’.
Kim Arnold wrote:
“I have read all the government documents in regards to the Maury Island Incident. I have personally and recently talked to Fred Crisman Jr. the son of Fred Crisman. The dedicated UFO historians have been correct. Fred Crisman and Harold Dahl were con-artists looking for a fast buck.’
Adding:
‘It is with deep sadness [sic] that they took my father on a fantasy trip and two military intelligence men whom my father respected were killed in a plane crash.’
Spirit in the Sky
She asserts that her father was profoundly affected by his sightings ‘and always felt within his soul that his experience was spiritual and part of a divine plan.’
I was surprised at the depth of this feeling in her subsequent remarks:
‘The only other request is that your program does not shape the UFO phenomena into a negative thing like “devil related” My father’s experience was of a spiritual nature, and he was personally a believer in a divine plan for each person’s life. He believed in a Creator, but believed that the universe and our surroundings were unlimited in thought and creativity. I would not want my father’s pictures used in any kind of production that would promote devil type insinuations, or beliefs.’ [emphasis in original]
As to what her father actually saw, no one knows for sure. Meteor fragments? Mountain peaks seen through air turbulence? Many times Arnold was quoted in the media:
‘They’re living organisms of some sort “that come down to the lower atmosphere when they are disturbed by earthquakes, atomic explosions or things like that.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel, Sun Jul 24, 1955
Arnold believed what he saw were actually organisms rather than spacecraft, and possibly extraterrestrial (reminiscent of the Arthur Conan Doyle short story The Horror of the Heights[i])
Certainly Arnold never described the objects as circular, saucer-like or with any form of cupola, cockpit, dome, appendages or features of any kind. The sketches for the Army Air Force depicted eight of the objects as looking rather like a military shovel or spade head in plan form, with the description that they were about 1/20th the thickness of their apparent length. The 9th object he described as a bat-like wing (as depicted in Kim Arnold’s signatory glyph). USAF investigator J Allen Hynek, who re-examined the case made a strong argument that Arnold’s estimates as to size, speed and distance could simply not have tallied.
But few doubt that whatever Arnold saw, he sincerely believed it worthy of reporting. And historians of the subject should resist the revisionist attempts to link the emergence of the saucer phenomena with the Roswell farrago rather than its true impetus: Kenneth Arnold and his ‘Flying Saucers’.
Many thanks go to Kim Purvis nee Arnold, who, in 1997, was unfailingly courteous and helpful in response to my various questions. I offer my obvious regret to her and others that the project was never completed. Kenneth Arnold’s story surely deserves a film in its own right.
