The Night the Moon exploded and other Lunar tales from the Middle Ages

Above: A Chronical illustration depicts five Canterbury monks espying the “split of the horn of the Moon” and Gervase recording their report

Vespers completed, five monks gathered in the garden of aCanterbury Abbyin an apparent religious reverie.  It was apleasant, clear evening—June 18, 1178 by our reckoning, June 25 in the old Gregorian calendar.  Contemplating a lovelycrescent Moon they were shocked when something like agiant explosion wracked the heavenly body then watched in awe for some time as the Moon seemed to undergo fantastic changes.

We know this because the five Monks reported to theirSuperior and to the Abby’s official Chronicler Gervase that “the upper horn [of the Moon] split in two.”  Gervase recorded the observation thusly:

From the midpoint of the division a flaming torch sprang up, spewing out, over a considerable distance, fire, hot coals and sparks. Meanwhile the body of the Moon which was below writhed, as it were in anxiety, and to put it in the words of those who reported it to me and saw it with their own eyes, the Moon throbbed like a wounded snake. Afterwards it resumed its proper state. This phenomenon was repeated a dozen times or more, the flame assuming various twisting shapes at random and then returning to normal. Then, after these transformations, the Moon from horn to horn, that is along its whole length, took on a blackish appearance.

Many scientists now believe that what those tonsured clericsobserved was the effect of a collision of a small asteroid orcomet fragment with the Moon which made a significant impact crater just over the observable horizon on what we call the dark side of the Moon.  Cue Pink Floyd now.

Those monks may be the only individuals ever recorded to have witnessed such a collision by the unaided eye.

Specifically the impact may have created what we now call the Giorano Bruno Crater—after the Italian philosopher andDominican Friar who was burned at the stake for expanding on Copernicus’s theories of a heliocentric universein which the Sun is just another star.  He was a great martyr to science, but not born yet when those other Monks made their observation.  The Inquisition made toast of Bruno in 1600.

The crater is 22 kilometers in diameter and lies between the significant craters Harkhebi and Szilard.  But evidence showsthat Bruno is far younger, by probable millennia than its neighbors.  Observed from space the rim is high and sharp, uneroded by eons of impacts from micro objects and space dust.  It sits at the center of a symmetrical ray system ofejecta that has a higher almost white reflection than the surrounding surface.  These radiate nearly 300 km from the center.  All of this is evidence of, by the standards of the Moon, a veryrecent event.

Soviet unmanned lunar probes first photographed the far side of the Moon beginning in 1959.  Since then ever higher resolution pictures have been taken by Russian and Americanorbiters and NASA Astronauts viewed the hidden surface onApollo missions.

Based on analysis of those photographs, geologist Jack B. Hartung first tied the Monks’ long ago observation to the Crater Bruno.  The explosion that they witnessed on the “upper horn” corresponded exactly with the location of the Crater just over the horizon.

The observation also conformed to what many scientist expect would be the result of such a powerful impact—aplume of molten matter rising up from the surface consistentwith the monks’ description.

Much of the scientific community has agreed with the conclusion, but the theory also has its skeptics.

Some complain that such a spectacular event should have been noted by others.  But in England and most of Northern Europe it could have been seenby hundreds of thousands who were either illiterate and could not record the event or whosenotations have simply not survived.  It was daylight in areas of other regular observers of the sky who did keep usuallyscrupulous notes—the Muslim scholars in Baghdad and elsewhere and the Chinese especially. Local weather conditions might not have been so clear.  So that in itself is not telling.

A more persuasive argument is that an impact of thatmagnitude should havesent tons of material out into space,most of which would eventually be captured by Earth’s gravity.  It would have fueled a spectacular meteor showerthat would have lasted more than a year.  Yet no records of such an event can be found and falling stars wereeverywhere regarded as significant omens and clusters of them carefully recorded.

The same critics point out that a “recent” lunar event, even one which has been calculated to have occurred during the span of human history on earth can be very old in human terms—as likely to have been observed by Neanderthalsas by Medieval Monks.

Despite the lack of meteor shower argument, other scientists have posed an explanation.  If the impact was caused by a comet fragment, other large fragments passing close to the Moon, may have gathered the rising debrisfrom the surface in their own gravitational pull, dragging it behind them in a long orbit around the Sun.

Skeptics still have to explain what the Monks actually saw or dismiss it as a fabrication or hallucination.  The only explanation that they can come up will seems even more farfetched than the possibility of an accurate description of a collision.  Their hypothosis holds that the Monks just happened to be in the right place at the right time to see an exploding meteor coming at them and aligned with the Moon. This would explain why the monks were the only people known to have witnessed the event because such an alignment would only be observable from a specific spot on the Earth’s surface.

For the monks who saw this phenomenon this event would be very worrying indeed. For medieval people the moon was an ever-present, fascinating and mysterious object. The moon not only brought light to the night sky, but it also marked the passage of time and could determine the personality of man or woman.

Medieval Science and the Moon

By the beginning of the Middle Ages there were already many theories about the moon, which actually was considered to be a planet like Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and even the Sun. Like these other planets, the moon revolved around the Earth in a perfect circle. Medieval thinkers still had a lot of other questions to answer about the moon – What was it made of? What was the distance between it and the earth? Where did it get its light from? Why were there light and dark spots on its surface?

 Christian, Muslim and Jewish astronomers all had their reasons for studying the moon and its movements – such as figuring out when religious events occurred and basing their astrological predictions. Throughout the Middle Ages one can find various astronomers at work, detailing their theories about the moon. For example, al-Hasan ibn-Haytham (965-1039) wrote two works about the moon. In this passage he explains some of the ideas that were circulating in his time about why the moon appeared the way it did:

If one were to carefully observe and consider the surface markings, one finds them to be of constant disposition, revealing no changes in themselves, neither in their form, their position and size, nor in their respective types of darkness. Superstitious men, and those who should not be taken seriously, have proposed their own, divergent opinions on the matter. Certain people hold the spots belong the lunar body itself; others believe that they exist apart from it, namely between the lunar body and the eye of the observer; still others conceive that they offer an inverted image [of the Earth], since the lunar surface is smooth and reflecting.

Someone reading medieval astronomical works will find them tedious and difficult to understand. Moreover, in most cases they were wrong. For instance, the 13th century English friar Roger Bacon understood that the moon caused the tides in oceans, but he believed this was because the rays of light from the moon “raise vapours” from the sea, which cause the waters to move. When the moon was overheard, these rays evaporated the water, which made the tide recede.

Occasionally, however, a medieval writer stumbled across some piece of knowledge that turned out to be correct. The Anglo-Saxon monk Bede was able to figure out that tides were not the same in all places of the world. In his work The Reckoning of Time, he explains:

There are those who claim and affirm that an enormous outpouring of the ocean takes place in all the streams of every region and land at one and the same time. But we who live at various places along the coastline of the British Sea know that where the tide begins to run in one place, it will start to ebb at another at the same time. Hence it appears to some that the wave, while retreating from one place, is coming back somewhere else; then leaving behind the territory where it was, it swiftly seeks again the region where it first began. 

The Moon can do more than just light up the night sky

“One cannot claim to know the causes of things if one does not know the movements and dispositions of the celestial bodies, for they themselves are the causes of earthly matters” ~ Robert Anglicus (13th century)

Medieval writers believed the moon could do more than just cause tides – it could also affect ones health. Hildegard of Bingen, a famous abbess in 12th century Germany, explained that bloodletting was best done when the moon was waning (moving toward a new moon). She also found that the phase of the moon helped to determine someone’s personality. For example, if a person was conceived on the fifth day after a new moon:

if it is male, will be virtuous and loyal, courageous and steadfast. He will be physically health and live long. But if it is a female, she will be virile, quarrelsome and vindictive, but honest nevertheless. At times, though not very often, she suffers from some mild infirmity. She too can live quite long.

The phase of the moon was also important for agriculture, such as when to plant seeds. The belief was that when moon was waning it would draw water deeper into the soil, and when is waxing (becoming a full moon) the water was being drawn up and out of the soil. An agricultural treatise from 15th century Spain states that in March, “melons, cucumbers, gourds, oats, sorghum, onions and green beans can be sown in the waning moon. Cabbage seed and radishes in the old moon. Green beans and sorghum and spelt can be sown in the new moon. Graft fig trees and other trees in waxing moon.”

The Eclipse in the Middle Ages

Hundreds of accounts of solar eclipses have been preserved in medieval records. Many are often terse – just a few words – but others provide some interesting insights. For example, one German chronicle reported in 1133, “on the 4th day before the Nones of August [Aug 2], the 4th day of the week, when the Sun was declining, towards the ninth hour the Sun in a single moment became as black as pitch and day was turned into night; very many stars were seen, objects on the ground appeared as they usually do at night…”

Astronomers during the Middle Ages were just beginning to understand when an eclipse would occur, so for the vast majority of people this event was unexpected and could be scary. The historian Ibn al-Athir was eyewitness of a total eclipse in his youth in the year 1176:

“In this year in the month Ramadan the sun was eclipsed totally and the earth was in darkness so that it was like a dark night and the stars appeared. That was before noon of Friday the 29th of Ramadan at Djazira Ibn ‘Umar, when I was young and in the company of my arithmetic teacher. When I saw it, I was very much afraid; but I held on to him and my heart was strengthened. He was also learned in astronomy and told me, ‘Now you will see that all of this will go away’, and it went quickly.”

By the later Middle Ages astronomers had become proficient at knowing when an eclipse would occur. Christopher Columbus made use of this during his fourth voyage to the New World. In 1504 he and his crew were stranded in Jamaica, and forced to rely on the local indigenous people to supply them with food. After a dispute the natives stopped bringing the food, and Columbus needed a way to convince their leader that he should continue the supplies. He had brought on the voyage a book of astronomical tables, and in it he noticed the date and the time of an upcoming lunar eclipse. Just before the eclipse occurred, he met with the native leader and told him that God was angry with them for not providing the food, and that there would be a sign of his displeasure. The lunar eclipse then occurred, turning the moon red, which frightened the natives. Within minutes they were bringing food supplies back to Columbus and his men.

The Man in the Moon

When some people look at the moon they claim they can see the face or even the whole body of a human. The idea of a man on the moon goes back to the Middle Ages, with the earliest reference coming from the English scholar Alexander Neckham (1157 – 1217). In his book De Naturis Rerum he has a small section called ‘About the mark on the moon’ where he writes:

Don’t you know that which the common crowd calls “The peasant in the moon, who carries thorns’? Therefore one says commonly: The peasant in the moon, whom a (certain) bundle weighs down / Illustrates through the thorns that stealing is never profitable.”

A few other late medieval English stories also have a similar story where the man in the moon was some peasant who gets caught stealing thorns to help him build a hedge (every villager would be responsible for helping build and maintain hedges to keep livestock from roaming into planted fields – and they would place thorns on the hedges so the animals wouldn’t be able to eat that either).

A medieval German tale explains there are two people on the moon – a man and  a woman.  The man has been banished there because he had placed thorns on the path to a church in order to prevent people from going to Sunday mass. Meanwhile, the woman is there because she made butter on Sunday. To add to their punishment the man carries his bundle of thorns on his back, while the woman carries a butter-tub.

Another medieval legend says the man in the moon is Cain, who as punishment for the murder of his brother Abel is exiled to the moon with some twigs.

Travelling to the Moon

Stories involving people travelling to the moon are not very common in the Middle Ages – they became popular by the 17th century – but a few do exist. The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, a tenth-century Japanese folktale, revolves around a young woman named Kaguya-hime who was sent from the moon to the earth, where she almost marries the Emperor before returning to the capital city of the moon.

In Dante’s Divine Comedy, the moon is the outermost sphere of Paradise. When the poet arrives there with his guide Beatrice, he first asks her why are there light and dark spots on the moon, to which she replies by giving a detailed scientific explanation involving optics and rays of light. Before moving on to the other planets, Beatrice reveals that this is the place in Paradise for people who were good but were forced to break their vows, such as nun who was forcibly removed from her convent.

Detail of miniature of Dante and Beatrice visiting the inhabitants of the heaven of the moon.

A third tale involving travel to the moon is The Frenzy of Orlando, written by Ludovico Ariosto in 1516. This is the story of a knight named Orlando who had fallen in love with a pagan princess, but after she marries someone else he goes mad and travels around the world causing destruction. Finally, he is taken by St John the Evangelist to the moon, where he goes to the Valley of Lost Things in which Orlando finds his sanity. In her article, “Ariosto the Lunar Traveller”, Ita MacCarthy explains that the moon, which is depicted as much larger than the Earth, is a kind of allegorical junkyard:

On the moon, forgotten ancient crowns metamorphose into tumid bladders, flattery turns into stinking garlands, and human brains become liquid ooze: the world’s objects become allegorical parodies of themselves. The moon, at this point in the episode, offers something other than a mirror image of reality. It reflects back an altered version of it, one that highlights the essential rather than the outward qualities of the objects placed before it. As objects undergo a metamorphosis that reveals their essence, the moon becomes an allegory for the literary text, which also transforms reality as it reflects and reconstructs it. 

Other Fun Facts about the Moon in the Middle Ages

• The moon was believed to be cold and moist. It was said to be responsible for making the night air moister, which is why there would be dew on the grass in the early morning.
  • Roger Bacon calculated that if a person walked twenty miles a day, he would reach the moon in fourteen years, seven months and twenty-nine days.
    • In the Islamic tradition, the start of a new month does not begin until the first crescent of a new moon is sighted. This could lead to occasional problems, such as when the traveller Ibn Jubayr visited Mecca at the end of the twelfth century. He describes how the people were outside trying to spot the new crescent, which would mark the beginning of the month of Ramadan, but it was so cloudy that no one could see it. After some time someone cried out that he could see it, then others joined in, but when they approached the local judge to tell him what they saw, he ridiculed them and replied “if someone would claim to have seen the sun from behind those clouds I would not have believed him, let alone seeing a thin crescent!”
    • In Norse mythology, the moon was known as Máni and he was the brother of Sol, the Sun. They are being chased through the heavens by wolves.
    • The word Monday comes from the Old English term Mōnandæg which means ‘Moon’s Day’. In Latin, this day was called dies Lūnae, which has been transformed into modern French as lundi, in Italian as lunedì and in Spanish as lunes.
    • In a popular medieval fable, a fox lowers himself into a well with a bucket but gets trapped. A wolf comes by and the fox sees in the well, but also sees the reflection of the moon in the water. The fox convinces him that what he is seeing is a piece of cheese in the well, so the wolf uses the second bucket to go down, which lifts the fox’s bucket up, allowing him to escape. This type of story continues to be popular, such in Kitten’s First Full Moon.

ARE ALIENS REAL?DO U BELIEVE IN ALIENS, ALL THE ALIENS SIGHTINGS, EVIDENCE AND CONSPIRACY THEORIES ON WHETHER EXTRA-TERRESTRIALS EXIST

Are aliens real?  

DO aliens exist? The question has baffled people for centuries.

From Roswell to Suffolk’s Rendlesham Forest, these are the sightings and conspiracy theories which UFO hunters reckon are proof of extraterrestrial

Children eye a model of an alien on display inside the International UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell.

‘Do aliens exist?’ One of life’s great unanswered questions

How many Alien and UFO sightings have there been?

Numbers of UFO sightings are currently flying at an all-time high, according to data cruncher and blogger Sam Monfort.

The alien expert reckons there have been nearly 105,000 recorded UFO sightings in the past 100-plus years.

And Sam is far from the only believer on our planet.

From an “alien autopsy” video dating back to 1995 to a video of fighter jets apparently chasing a UFO over the M5, there are hundreds of videos which people claim are proof of alien life.

There’s even a clip of a UFO supposedly attacking a Taliban compound, as well as ‘sightings’ in Peckham and Warminster.

Most of the videos have been debunked by experts. In the M5 clip, for example, the motorway lorries look like models.

While the Peckham UFOs were “almost certainly Chinese lanterns”, according to former Ministry of Defence UFO investigator Nick Pope – who was speaking to Sun Online.

He added that “true believers wouldn’t be dissuaded” by evidence the videos are fake.

Meanwhile, pop star Peter Andre claims to have seen “several UFOs” on a family trip to the Nevada desert.

The desert is also the site of America’s famous Area 51 – a highly classified military base at the centre of alien conspiracy theories, because of scores of a sighting of UFOs in the area.

And artist Dave Huggins believes he lost his virginity to a busty alien called Crescent – and has fathered 60 ‘hybrid’ babies.

Some people even believe this picture of Jesus’ crucifixion – which hangs on the walls of the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral in Georgia – is proof of alien life thousands of years ago.

What is the Roswell UFO incident?

The Roswell UFO incident is a world-renowned conspiracy theory about the existence of aliens.

In the summer of 1947, a farmer discovered unidentifiable debris in his sheep fields just outside Roswell, New Mexico.

A local Air Force base claimed the debris came from a crashed hot air balloon, but many people reckon it’s really the remains of a flying saucer.

The debate rumbles on, with people continuing to make claims about “leaked US government documents”, which supposedly prove it was a cover-up.

What happened at Rendlesham Forest?

Dubbed the “British Roswell”, a similar incident happened in Rendlesham Forest in 1980.

On December 26, Military personnel from RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge, in Suffolk, saw strange lights in a nearby forest – and three of them were sent out to investigate.

Two of them encountered a small, triangular shaped craft – which they later drew images of.

One man, Jim Penniston, got close enough to touch the side of the object.

Two nights later, Deputy Base Commander Lieutenant Colonel Charles Halt and his team also encountered the UFO – and were left baffled by the entire experience.

Are there any are aliens real conspiracy theories?

Marilyn Monroe’s death remains shrouded in mystery, and a new conspiracy theory claims the actress was murdered by the US government – after threatening to reveal top-secret information about aliens.

The bonkers theory was revealed in UFO documentary Unacknowledged.

It is claimed that Marilyn made the threats after having affairs with both President JFK and Bobby Kennedy, and was seeking revenge as they both simultaneously ended things with her.

Are aliens real

What is Britain’s secret UFO dossier?

An official government UFO dossier, referred to as “Britain’s X-Files”, contains a cache of 15 unusual incidents in British skies.

It has now been released by the Ministry of Defence but, in news that’s sending believers wild, they’re making it very difficult to get hold of.

Sun Online exclusively revealed that Freedom of Information requests in relation to the dossier could be blocked, because it is hushed up by EU law.

The University of Manchester and Breakthrough Initiatives are currently running their own £77 million hunt for alien life – but experts are yet to find any concrete proof.

What have Nasa said about aliens?

Nasa are the experts in space activity, but they remain notoriously tight-lipped when it comes to alien life.

However, they were recently forced to deny claims from hacking group Anonymous – that an Are aliens real   announcement was imminent.

They have also rejected bizarre claims from former CIA case officer Robert David Steele – who said Nasa are running a child sex slave colony on Mars.

To date, there is no evidence of life beyond Earth but, when it comes to unexplained events, the finger is often pointed at are aliens real activity.

Meanwhile, recently, stargazers received “some very peculiar signals” while observing a distant dwarf star.
Experts listening in at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico were on a planet spotting mission when the strange “pulses” came over the radio between April and May.
It wasn’t until two weeks after the project finished that they noticed the strange signals which came from Ross 128 (GJ447), some 11 light years away, on 12 May at 1.53 AM (BST).

But the recent studies and some sightings gives an appropriate answer for the question: Are aliens real

Alien Nation: Have Humans Been Abducted by Extraterrestrials?

Above Image: Anne Ramsey Cuvelier’s Victorian mansion in Newport, Rhode Island, where, once a year, alien experiencers gather and exchange stories. Inset, John Edward Mack at Harvard University, where he earned his medical degree in 1955., Courtesy of Anne Ramsey Cuvelier (house), courtesy of JPL-Caltech/UCLA/NASA (cosmos), courtesy of the family of John E. Mack (Mack).

A prestigious Harvard psychiatrist, John Edward Mack, thought so. His sudden death leaves behind many mysteries.

if you’re abducted by alien beings, are you physically absent?

This happens to be an important issue for the media-shy people gathered one afternoon last July on the porch of Anne Ramsey Cuvelier’s blue Victorian inn on Narragansett Bay, in Rhode Island, once called “the most elegantly finished house ever built in Newport.” Co-designed in 1869 by a cousin of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s, it has been in Cuvelier’s family since 1895, when her great-grandfather bought it as a summer getaway from his winter home blocks away, just as the Gilded Age cottages of the Vanderbilts and Astors began springing up across the island, redefining palatial extravagance. Still imposing with its butternut woodwork, ebony trimmings, and four-story paneled atrium frescoed in the Pompeian style, the harborside mansion turned B&B seemed a fittingly baroque setting for the group of reluctant guests Cuvelier describes as “not a club anyone wants to belong to.”

She had gathered them to compare experiences as, well, “experiencers,” a term they prefer to “abductees,” and to socialize free of stigma among peers. Cuvelier, an elegant and garrulous woman in her 70s, isn’t one of them. But she remembers as a teen in the 1940s hearing her father, Rear Admiral Donald James Ramsey, a World War II hero, muttering about strange flying craft that hovered and streaked off at unimaginable speed, and she’s been an avid ufologist ever since. “I want to get information out so these people don’t have to suffer,” she says. “Nobody believes you. You go through these frightening experiences, and then you go through the ridicule.”

So, for a week each summer for almost two decades, she’s been turning away paying guests at her family’s Sanford-Covell Villa Marina, on the cobblestoned waterfront in Newport, to host these intimate gatherings of seemingly ordinary folk with extraordinary stories, along with the occasional sympathetic medical professional and scientist and other brave or foolhardy souls not afraid to be labeled nuts for indulging a fascination with the mystery. I had been invited as a journalist with a special interest who has been talking to some of them for several years.

Perched on a wicker settee was Linda Cortile, a mythic figure in the canons of abduction literature, whom I’d come to know by her real name, Linda Napolitano. A stylish young grandmother in a green T-shirt, black shorts, and a charcoal baseball cap, she had agreed to meet me months before at Manhattan’s South Street Seaport to point at her 12th-floor window overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge, where, she says, one night in 1989 three small beings levitated her “like an angel” into a hovering craft in view of horrified witnesses, including, it was said, a mysterious world figure who might have been abducted with her. “If I was hallucinating,” she told me, “then the witnesses saw my hallucination. That sounds crazier than the whole abduction phenomenon.”

The short-haired Florida woman in white capris and a fuchsia flowered blouse was, like Cuvelier, not herself an abductee but the niece of two and the co-author of a book on the first widely publicized and most famous abduction case of all. Kathleen Marden, the director of abduction research for the Mutual UFO Network, or MUFON, one of the oldest and largest U.F.O.-investigating groups, was 13 in 1961, when her aunt and uncle Betty and Barney Hill returned from a trip through the White Mountains of New Hampshire with the stupefying tale of having been chased by a giant flying disc that hovered over the treetops. They said they had stopped for a look with binoculars, spotted humanoid figures in the craft and, overcome with terror, sped away with their car suddenly enveloped in buzzing vibrations. They reached home inexplicably hours late and afterward recovered memories of having been taken into the ship and subjected to frightening medical probes. Their car showed some peculiar markings, and Betty’s dress had been ripped, the zipper torn. She remembered that the aliens had fumbled with her zipper before disrobing her for a pregnancy test with a needle in her navel. I was surprised to hear from Marden (but confirmed it) that the garment is preserved at the University of New Hampshire, in Durham.

Also present was Barbara Lamb, a tanned and gold-coiffed psychotherapist and family counselor from Claremont, California, who studies crop circles, the enigmatic patterns left in fields, often in England, and practices regression therapy, treating personality disorders by taking people back to previous lives. She told me what she remembered happened to her about seven years earlier: “I was walking through my home and there was standing this reptilian being. It was three in the afternoon. I was alert and awake. I was startled somebody was there.” Ordinarily, Lamb said, she is repulsed by snakes and lizards, “but he was radiating such a nice feeling. I went right over and had my hand out. He was taller than I, this close to me”—she held her hands a foot apart—“with yellow reptile eyes. Then he was suddenly gone.” She said she had recalled more of the encounter when a colleague put her through hypnotic regression. “He said telepathically, ‘Ha, Barbara, good, good. Now you know that we are actually real. We do exist and have contacts with certain people.’”

Chatting with this group were two astrophysicists from a leading institution and the director of the Harvard-affiliated McLean Hospital Southeast. I was intrigued by these eminent outsiders, who may have been risking their careers.

But I was interested most of all in the dead man who remained an icon to many on the porch. John Edward Mack, a Pulitzer Prize–winning biographer and Harvard Medical School psychiatrist, spent years trying to fathom their stories and reached an astonishing conclusion: they were telling the truth. That is, they were not insane or deluded; in some unknown space/time dimension, something real had actually happened to them—not that Mack could explain just what or how. But weeks after attending the 2004 Newport gathering, days before his 75th birthday, he looked the wrong way down a London street and stepped in front of a drunk driver.

Aside from those of his circle and university colleagues, Mack is scarcely known today. But 20 years ago, when he burst onto the scene as the Harvard professor who believed in alien abduction, he was probably the most famous, or infamous, academic in America, “the most important scientist ever to dare to admit the truth about the abduction phenomenon,” in the words of Whitley Strieber, whose best-selling memoir, Communion, introduced millions of Americans to alien encounters.

Tall, impulsive, and magnetic to women and men, Mack was everywhere, or so it seemed—on OprahandNova; on the best-seller lists; in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and Time; at his Laurance S. Rockefeller–supported Program for Extraordinary Experience Research; in scholarly journals, documentaries, poems, theater pieces, and Roz Chast cartoons. And then suddenly he was under investigation at Harvard, the target of a grueling inquisition. “I didn’t think people would believe me,” Mack had confided to his longtime assistant, Leslie Hansen, who was in Newport last July. “But I didn’t think they’d get so mad.” In the end he achieved a measure of vindication, but his freakish demise denied him a final reckoning in an unpublished manuscript he saw as his cri de coeur against scientific materialism and “ontological fascism.”

He left behind another unpublished manuscript, with another mystery he was seeking to unravel, a secret as dark as death itself. And now his interrupted journey may be heading to the big screen. After a four-year negotiation, the film and television rights to Mack’s story were granted by the Mack family to MakeMagic Productions, which has partnered with Robert Redford’s Wildwood Enterprises, and a major feature film is currently in development. But two decades after Mack took alien abduction from the pages of the National Enquirer to the hallowed halls of Harvard, the question remains: why would a pillar of the psychiatric establishment at America’s oldest university court professional suicide to champion the most ridiculed and tormented outcasts of society?

On Cuvelier’s porch, a Vermont shopkeeper who wanted to be known as “Nona”—the way Mack identified her in Passport to the Cosmos, his 1999 follow-up to Abduction—remembered filling 300 pages with “abduction recollections,” which Mack struggled to accept as real. Had she actually traveled on shafts of crystalline light? “John, I know when I’m physically gone,” she remembered replying. “I know when I’m going through a wall.” Mack had had one nagging disappointment, Nona recalled. He had never undergone an abduction, or even spied a U.F.O. Why can’t I see one?, he wondered. Nona would twit him. “Probably because you’re not patient enough, John.”

‘I was raised as the strictest of materialists,” Mack told the writer C. D. B. Bryan. “I believed we were kind of alone in this meaningless universe, on this sometimes verdant rock with these animals and plants around, and we were here to make the best of it, and when we’re dead, we’re dead.” A great-grandfather of his had pioneered the use of anesthetics in eye surgery, and a great-uncle had been one of the first Jewish professors at Harvard Medical School. His father, Edward, was a noted literary biographer and scholar at the City College of New York who had remarried a widow with a young daughter after his wife died of peritonitis eight months after John was born. John’s socially prominent stepmother, Ruth Prince, was an eminent feminist economist and New Dealer whose first husband, a great-grandson of the founder of Gimbels department store, had jumped or fallen from the 16th floor of the Yale Club as the Great Depression deepened.

Mack graduated cum laude from Harvard Medical School and, while only a resident, founded one of the nation’s first outpatient hospitals. He took his social-worker bride, Sally, to an Air Force posting in Japan and, once home, introduced psychiatric services to incarcerated youths and impoverished nursery schoolers. He started the first psychiatric department at Cambridge hospital, winning a prize for a study of childhood nightmares, a field he would explore further in his first book, Nightmares and Human Conflict. His second book, a groundbreaking psychological study of Lawrence of Arabia, A Prince of Our Disorder: The Life of T. E. Lawrence, won the Pulitzer Prize for biography in 1977. He traveled in the Middle East, lecturing on the Arab-Israeli conflict and going on “bomb runs,” traveling from city to city warning what would happen if a one-mega-ton bomb exploded overhead, and getting arrested with his family at nuclear-test sites. He cornered Dr. Edward Teller, the father of the H-bomb then pressing President Reagan for a Star Wars nuclear-weapons shield in space. Teller denounced peacenik physicians and told Mack: “If you are not in the pay of the Kremlin, you’re even more of a fool.” After the cold war ended, Mack studied consciousness expansion with Stanislav Grof, a Czech-born psychoanalyst who had experimented with L.S.D. Grof and his wife, Christina, had developed a breathing discipline called Holotropic Breathwork to induce an expanded state of consciousness. In one breathwork session with Russians at California’s Esalen Institute, Mack recounted that he became, “a Russian-father in the 16th century whose four-year-old son was being decapitated by Mongol hordes.’’ He owed a lot to the Grofs, Mack later said. “They put a hole in my psyche, and the U.F.O.’s flew in.”

It was January 10, 1990, Mack recalled, “one of those dates you remember that mark a time when everything in your life changes.” A woman he had met at the Grofs’ introduced him to Hopkins, a nationally known New York Abstract Expressionist and intimate of Willem DeKooning, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Franz Kline, and Robert Motherwell, whose works hung with his in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim, and the Whitney. According to Hopkins, he had spotted a U.F.O. on Cape Cod in 1964, and he went on to investigate the case of a badly shaken neighbor who had reported seeing a spaceship with nine or ten small beings land in a park near Fort Lee, New Jersey. Hopkins wrote a story about it for The Village Voice that was picked up by Cosmopolitan. He was soon being thronged by abductees, whom he examined under hypnosis, and he would win renown as the father of the alien-abduction movement, starting with his book Missing Time, in 1981, and its 1987 sequel, Intruders: The Incredible Visitations at Copley Woods.

Hopkins was then beginning his investigation of the so-called Brooklyn Bridge U.F.O. abduction of the woman he called Linda Cortile, which would become his third book, Witnessed, in 1996. It would involve two security guards for an international figure Hopkins never named but believed to be U.N. secretary-general Javier Pérez de Cuéllar, who, Hopkins would conclude, appeared to have been abducted with her. (I had a local reporter in Lima ask the 92-year-old retired Peruvian diplomat directly about the matter in April 2012. He responded enigmatically, saying, “I’m not interested in those types of curiosities.” Asked if he recalled being questioned by Hopkins, Pérez de Cuéllar, who was in the process of updating his 1997 memoirs, said, “I don’t remember, but it is possible. I can’t assure it nor deny it. My memory at this age fails me.”)

Hopkins gave Mack a box of letters from people reacting to aliens. “I think most of these people are perfectly sane, with real experiences,” Hopkins recalled telling Mack when I visited him in his art-filled Chelsea town house shortly before his death of cancer at 80, in August 2011. But, he added, Mack could decide for himself. He was the doctor.

“Nothing in my nearly 40 years of familiarity with psychiatry prepared me,” Mack later wrote in his 1994 best-seller, Abduction: Human Encounters with Aliens. He had always assumed that anyone claiming to have been abducted by aliens was crazy, along with those who took them seriously. But here were people—students, homemakers, secretaries, writers, businesspeople, computer technicians, musicians, psychologists, a prison guard, an acupuncturist, a social worker, a gas-station attendant—reporting experiences that Mack could not begin to fathom, things, he reflected, that by all notions of reality “simply could not be.”

As he later said, “These individuals reported being taken against their wills sometimes through the walls of their houses, and subjected to elaborate intrusive procedures which appeared to have a reproductive purpose. In a few cases they were actually observed by independent witnesses to be physically absent during the time of the abduction. These people suffered from no obvious psychiatric disorder, except the effects of traumatic experience, and were reporting with powerful emotion what to them were utterly real experiences. Furthermore these experiences were sometimes associated with UFO sightings by friends, family members, or others in the community, including media reporters and journalists, and frequently left physical traces on the individuals’ bodies, such as cuts and small ulcers that would tend to heal rapidly and followed no apparent psychodynamically identifiable pattern as do, for example, religious stigmata. In short, I was dealing with a phenomenon that I felt could not be explained psychiatrically, yet was simply not possible within the framework of the Western scientific worldview.”

With the new millennium, Mack began showing up at Newport, Leslie Hansen remembered. She had been hired to help Mack transcribe recordings of his sessions, and she came to believe in the process that she had buried her own troubling childhood memories of aliens at her bedside. Mack’s household was in turmoil. Sally was unhappy with Mack’s treatment sessions in the house, especially the screams. Mack was also deeply in love with his research associate, Dominique Callimanopulos, the glamorous daughter of the Greek shipping tycoon who owned Hellenic Lines. “John had a lot going on, but he was kind of like a child,” Hansen recalled. “He kind of regarded every person as a fresh slate.” And, she added, “he was very attractive.” Hansen had heard about Cuvelier’s gatherings, and she invited him to attend. Mack was dubious. “What’s this going to cost me?,” he asked. Hansen laughed. “John,” she said, “you’re a guest.”

Two years after meeting Hopkins, Mack was working with dozens of experiencers, and one day he told incredulous fellow psychiatrists at Cambridge Hospital about alien abduction. In 1992 he and David E. Pritchard, a pioneering physicist in atom optics at M.I.T., got that institution to open its doors to a revolutionary alien-abduction conference. Mack presented his findings, as did Hopkins and David M. Jacobs, an associate professor of history at Temple University who was teaching the nation’s only fully accredited college course on U.F.O.’s, and who had just published a provocative book detailing alien encounters, called Secret Life. C. D. B. Bryan, the author of the best-seller Friendly Fire, was among a few select writers invited, for another book, Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind, which Knopf would publish in 1995.

“If what these abductees are saying is happening to them isn’t happening,” Mack demanded, “what is?”

Conferees argued over the validity of a poll done by the Roper Organization for the hotel and aerospace mogul and U.F.O. advocate Robert T. Bigelow that sought for the first time to quantify alien abduction in America. Because few were likely to admit to being an abductee, the pollsters asked the 5,947 respondents if they had ever experienced five key abduction-type symptoms: waking up paralyzed with the sense of a strange presence or person in the room, missing time, feeling a sensation of flying, seeing balls of light in the room, and finding puzzling scars. (A trick question asked if “Trondant” held any secret meaning for them. Anyone who answered yes to the nonsense word was eliminated as unreliable.) Two percent of the respondents, or 119 people, acknowledged at least four of the five experiences, which Roper said translated to 3.7 million adult Americans. At a minimum, Hopkins reported, the results suggested that 560,000 adult Americans might be abductees.

The beings didn’t have to come from outer space, Mack theorized, maybe just a parallel universe. But by the time he wrote Abduction, he said his cases had “amply corroborated” the work of Hopkins and Jacobs, “namely that the abduction phenomenon is in some central way involved in a breeding program that results in the creation of alien/human hybrid offspring.” He concluded furthermore that the aliens were carrying warnings about dangers to the planet; almost all of his abductees emerged with “a commitment to changing their relationship to the earth.”

Some respected colleagues, asked to comment on his manuscript, were dismayed. Anyone could espouse alien abduction, but Mack was a renowned Harvard professor. “Can I believe any of this?,” wrote the editor of a psychiatry journal who turned down publication even though all of the peer reviewers urged it. An eminent Harvard ethicist and philosopher responded: “Clearly you cannot easily go ahead with publication so long as you do not have more incontrovertible evidence.” Even Hopkins called Mack “gullible.”

Indeed, Mack soon stepped into a minefield, adding to his circle of abductees a 37-year-old Boston writer who intrigued him with a bizarre tale of being taken into a spaceship with Nikita Khrushchev and President John F. Kennedy during the Cuban missile crisis. Then, saying she was a double agent out to expose Mack’s U.F.O. cult, the woman, Donna Bassett, supplied tapes of her sessions to Time, which ambushed Mack with the hoax, calling him “The Man from Outer Space.” Mack countered that Bassett had a troubled history at his office, but the betrayal stung. The Boston Globe followed up with a gleeful headline: ALIENS LAND AT HARVARD!

Undaunted, Mack appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show with five of his lucid, articulate, and normal-acting abductees. “He believes them when they say they have been on the aliens’ spaceships,” declared Oprah. “And Dr. Mack believes them, he says, when they say that they have had children with aliens.” Mack put it differently. “Every other culture in history except this one, in the history of the human race, has believed there were other entities, other intelligences in the universe,” he said. “Why are we so goofy about this? Why do we treat people like they’re crazy, humiliate them, if they’re experiencing some other intelligence?”

Harvard had had enough. In June 1994 it convened a confidential inquest under a former editor of The New England Journal of Medicine, Professor Emeritus Arnold Relman. “If these stories are believed as literal factual accounts,” Relman wrote Mack, “they would contradict virtually all of the basic laws of physics, chemistry and biology on which modern science depends.” Some went further, accusing Mack of ushering in a new dark age of superstition and magic.

Mack recruited a potent legal team: Daniel P. Sheehan, of the Christic Institute, who had helped to uncover the Iran-Contra drugs-for-arms deals of the Reagan administration and had represented Karen Silkwood’s family in their successful lawsuit against the Kerr-McGee nuclear power plant, and Roderick “Eric” MacLeish, former general counsel of the Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts, who was to achieve fame for exposing sexual abuse by Catholic priests in Boston.

Experiencers who had appeared on Oprah with Mack testified for him. Peter Faust, an acupuncturist in his 30s, told of having been recognized on a spaceship by another abductee and of possibly having been an alien himself in a previous lifetime.

And then, as if scripted for dramatic timing, BBC journalist Tim Leach in Zimbabwe called Mack’s office about a flurry of U.F.O. sightings. Mack and his research partner Callimanopulos flew off to investigate a report that on September 14, 1994, a large, saucer-shaped spacecraft and several smaller craft had landed or hovered near a schoolyard in Ruwa, 40 miles northeast of Harare.

The children told Mack and Callimanopulos on tape that the beings had large heads, two holes for nostrils, a slit for a mouth or no mouth at all, and long black hair, and were dressed in dark, single-piece suits. “I think it’s about something that’s going to happen,” said one little girl. “What I thought was maybe the world’s going to end. They were telling us the world’s going to end.”

“How did that get communicated to you?,” Mack asked.

“I don’t even know. It just popped up in my head. He never said anything. He talked just with his eyes. It was just the face and the eyes. They looked horrible.”

By mid-December 1994, with Mack back in Cambridge, the Harvard committee accused him of failing to do systematic evaluations to rule out psychiatric disorders, putting “persistent pressure” on his experiencers to convince them they had actually been abducted by aliens, and preventing them from obtaining the help they really needed. Mack countered with a fervent rebuttal.

As the inquiry hit the press, Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz wrote an op-ed picked up by The Washington Post and The Harvard Crimson: “Will the next professor who is thinking about an unconventional research project be deterred by the prospect of having to hire a lawyer to defend his ideas?”

When the final report came out, Mack was dumbfounded. In a short statement, Harvard Medical School cautioned him “not, in any way, to violate the high standards for the conduct of clinical practice and clinical investigation that have been the hallmarks of this Faculty.” But Harvard “reaffirmed Dr. Mack’s academic freedom to study what he wishes and to state his opinions without impediment. Dr. Mack remains a member in good standing of the Harvard Faculty of Medicine.”

Mack had prevailed, but he realized in retrospect that he had made a fateful error. As he wrote nearly a decade later in a manuscript he was seeking to publish as his masterwork, “When Worldviews Collide”: “I can see now that I had to a large extent created my problem with the literalness that I had treated the encounter phenomenon in the 1994 book. It is possible that in some cases people are taken bodily into spacecraft. However, the question is more subtle and complex.”

Whether space aliens were visiting, what planet they came from, and whether they were friendly to humans seemed increasingly less important than what such spiritual encounters revealed about the cosmos, Mack wrote. The Western materialist worldview was closed to such mysteries. But even without physical proof of the encounters, scientific investigation could proceed through study of the abductees themselves. What was needed, Mack argued, was a new “Science of Human Experience” stressing “the value of the authentic Witness.”

In any case, the aliens’ abduction phase may have ended, Mack and his associates theorized. Had whatever hybrid-breeding program existed been accomplished? What was the next step? The emergence of aliens among us? How would humanity react?

On Cuvelier’s porch in Newport, a staff astronomer at a renowned astrophysics center, in a short-sleeved sport shirt and cargo shorts, explained what he was doing at a gathering of abductees. “I don’t mix the two,” he said. “As a scientist, I would say we don’t have enough data.” So far, he said, “it’s hearsay: somebody says they saw a light, somebody is telling a story what they saw.” But that didn’t mean, the astronomer added, that the stories weren’t interesting. He was joined soon by a towering, bullet-headed friend of Mack’s who had arrived straight from McLean Hospital Southeast, a psychiatric facility affiliated with Harvard Medical School, where he is the medical director. Jeffrey D. Rediger, who also holds a master-of-divinity degree, is no stranger to anomalous experiences. A decade ago in Brazil, where he had gone to study the claims of a mystical healer called John of God, Rediger said, he had witnessed surgeries without instruments and experienced, on his own chest, a sudden episode of spontaneous bleeding from an unexplained incision that quickly healed.

Rudolph Schild, a noted astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics who had spoken up for Mack at the Harvard inquest, joined the group. I had talked to him several times about one of Mack’s friends and veteran experiencers, a woman named Karin Austin, who, some two decades ago, recalled somehow arriving at a clearing in a forest, where she and other humans had been presented with their “hybrid” children. Schild had interviewed Austin and was struck by her uncanny familiarity with the double suns orbiting one another in the Orion belt. How, he marveled, was she able to give such accurate descriptions of seasonal changes particular to a binary system?

With the new millennium, Mack’s interest had shifted to a new mystery, the survival of consciousness, particularly the story of his friends Elisabeth Targ, a psychiatrist with an interest in the paranormal, and her husband, Mark Comings, a theoretical physicist specializing in alternative energy. Targ’s grandfather William, as editor in chief of G. P. Putnam’s, had published The Godfather, and her father, Russell, an inventor of the laser, conducted top-secret extrasensory experiments for the C.I.A. in “remote viewing,” the ability to visualize objects thousands of miles away. Elisabeth’s mother, Joan, was the sister of chess grandmaster Bobby Fischer and had taught her little brother the game of chess. Elisabeth was also a prodigy, with unusual mental powers. As a psychiatrist, she practiced distant healing on AIDS patients, and, later, on patients with rare brain tumors, glioblastomas. Then, in a cruel twist of fate, she contracted the same type of cancer and, despite her practice of the non-traditional prayer therapies she championed, died. She was only 40. But now her husband was telling Mack that she was sending him messages of love from beyond the grave. Mack was writing a book about it, Elisabeth and Mark Before and After Death: The Power of a Field of Love. He sent the proposal off to his literary agent with a note: “There is a bit of urgency about this.” In a few days he would be leaving for London to deliver a lecture on his idol, T. E. Lawrence, killed at 46 in a motorcycle accident in England in 1935.

In Newport with the other experiencers, a Tom Hanks look-alike who wanted to be known as “Scott,” the way Mack referred to him in Abduction, remembered their last meeting at Cuvelier’s villa, in the summer of 2004. Mack was excited about his new book, on the survival of consciousness. Scott confessed his own fear of death. Mack reassured him. “You never know when it will be your time,” he said. “We could all go at any time. I could walk out on the street and get hit by a car.”

Raymond Czechowski, a 50-year-old computer technician, had spent three-and-a-half hours at the Royal British Legion, a military charity in north London, planning the latest poppy drive to aid the troops, in the course of which he downed five or six pints of shandy—beer mixed with lemonade and ice. Then, on that mild, clear Monday night of September 27, 2004, he pointed his silver Peugeot north and started driving home.

Just ahead, shortly after 11 P.M., in the north London suburb of Barnet, John Mack climbed wearily out of the Underground station at Totteridge and Whetstone. His talk had gone well, and many in the audience had brought copies of his Lawrence biography, which they asked him to sign. He had also spoken about the death of his father, Edward Mack, who, 31 years before, almost to the day, had been driving home with the groceries to their summer home in Thetford, Vermont, when his car collided with a truck. In London, Mack was staying with a family friend, Veronica Keen, a widow who told him she had been receiving messages from her deceased husband—more evidence, Mack thought, of survival of consciousness. She had said to call her from the station and she would pick him up, but Mack decided to walk. He crossed a divider and stepped into the busy street. His American instinct was to look to the left.

Czechowski hit the brakes, but too late. Mack’s body flew into the air, shattering the Peugeot’s windshield before traveling over the roof and landing heavily on the ground. “He just stepped there, bang,” Czechowski told the police, who registered his alcohol level at well over the limit.

Mack never regained consciousness. From a crumpled paper with an address on it found in his pocket, the police learned his destination and his identity.

Keen, who sat with Mack’s body at the morgue, said he materialized and told her, “It was as if I was touched with a feather. I did not feel a thing. I was given a choice: should I go or should I stay? I looked down at my broken body and decided to go.”

At Mack’s funeral, many recalled one of his favorite quotes, from Rilke’s Letter to a Young Poet (as translated by Stephen Mitchell): “That is at bottom the only courage that is demanded of us: to have courage for the most strange, the most singular and the most inexplicable that we may encounter. That mankind has in this sense been cowardly has done life endless harm; the experiences that are called ‘visions,’ the whole so-called ‘spirit-world,’ death, all those things that are so closely akin to us, have by daily parrying been so crowded out of life that the senses with which we could have grasped them are atrophied. To say nothing of God.”

Barbara Lamb and other friends also reported visitations.

Roberta Colasanti, one of Mack’s research associates, said he communicated to her a cryptic message on the abductions they had been studying: “It’s not what we thought.” Colasanti waited breathlessly for the solution to the mystery, but it didn’t come. Mack promised to return with more information. So far he hasn’t.

LIFE ON EARTH ORIGINALLY CAME FROM MARS — WE ARE ALL MARTIANS, NEW STUDY SUGGESTS

Evidence is mounting that we are all Martians. According to new research presented at the annual Goldschmidt geochemistry conference in Florence, there is compelling evidence that life on Earth was kick-started by a meteorite from Mars bearing simple, RNA-based organisms. Furthermore, the same research also indicates that the ancient, primordial surface of Earth would’ve been inhospitable to the formation of the building blocks of life (RNA, DNA, and proteins) — therefore, the only way that life could’ve begun more than three billion years ago is if it arrived here from Mars.

As far as we know, life began on Earth roughly 3.5 billion years ago. The leading theory on how life begun is abiogenesis — that life spontaneously formed from organic compounds, which themselves spontaneously formed. What we don’t know is whether abiogenesis occurred here on Earth, or whether it occurred elsewhere in the universe and then was deposited here via a meteorite (exogenesis/panspermia). Now, according to the findings of Steven Benner of The Westheimer Institute for Science and Technology in Florida, conditions here on Earth would’ve made it impossible for these organic compounds to make the leap to life — while the conditions on Mars would’ve been just right.

Basically, Benner postulates that RNA — the single-stranded, non-helical version of DNA that was probably the first building block of life — could only have been created in the presence of highly oxidized molybdenum and boron. Boron minerals could’ve helped early organic compounds to form into carbohydrate rings, and oxygenized molybdenum could’ve acted as a template for forming those carbohydrates into ribose, and thus RNA.

An artist’s concept of Mars’ west hemisphere, billions of years ago, when it still had its oceans and atmosphere

According to Benner, three billion years ago, back before Earth had an oxygen-rich atmosphere, this form of molybdenum wasn’t available. Likewise, Earth was completely covered in water, and boron is currently only found in extremely dry places. On the other hand, four billion years ago — long before life is believed to have started here on Earth — we believe that Mars had an oxygen-rich atmosphere and dry areas where boron could form in high concentrations. If simple RNA-based organisms did actually form on Mars, then it wouldn’t be too hard for it to hitch a ride to Earth on a meteorite.

This theory, if it’s correct, raises an interesting question: If life started on Mars, where is it now? Mars once had an atmosphere and surface water, but lost both a long time ago. We know that life is incredibly rugged, though, and capable of surviving in some of the most inhospitable environments imaginable, such as the vacuum of space or in darkness under miles of ice. If life did form on Mars, it’s entirely possible that it’s still there. Unfortunately, our current crop of rovers, such asCuriosity, aren’t outfitted with microbe-hunting gear — but the next rover, due to land on Mars in 2020, will have a microscope and other tools to search for fossils and other bio-signatures.

Huge mysterious ball of fire lights up the sky over Bergamo, Italy

On July 14, 2017 around 1.30AM during severe storms Patrizia Lapatty saw something strange in the sky over Bergamo in Italy on which she began to film the strange phenomenon.

Wondering what the phenomenon could have been she decided to send the footage to EUStormMap asking for an explanation on which they gave the following statement:

“For us this is one of the most fascinating types of lightning, beyond rare, it’s so rare that many people disbelieve. We receive only 1-2 reports per year in Europe and this is the 2nd one we have seen in 2017.”

“Immediately after the strong pulsing glow came a very strong smell of sulphur, a common trait with ball lightning reports.”

“No sign of fire the following morning and this occurred some 2-3 meters above the tree tops on a hillside in front of the observers home.”

Thus, according to EUStormMap it was ball lightning and it happened 2-3 meters above the tree tops on a hillside.

At all, in my opinion their statement is very vague and I think more investigation is needed before claiming it is ball lightning.

If you look at the video it seems that the ball of lightning is much further away then right 2-3 meters above the tree tops.

If you listen to the video then you not hear an explosion. Instead of exploding the anomaly gave a strong pulse, before fading away.

If it did not explode how then you can smell sulphur? Besides, is it possible that Patrizia can smell the sulphur, given the distance from her location to the hillside?

And given the distance from the anomaly to the earth’s surface it seems unlikely that it would have been a malfunction of a transformer or power lines

Here is the fascinating video of the ball of fire in the sky over Bergamo and decide for yourself what it might have been.

Night Vision Camera Reportedly Captures US Military Jets Chasing UFOs

Around 50 people are claiming that the US Air Force jets chased UFOs in the night sky. The strange event reportedly took place at Landers, California at around 10 pm on May 21. The witnesses reported seeing two light sources, which they believed two objects. A military aircraft allegedly tailed the two unidentified flying objects.

These witnesses observed the bizarre UFOs and the military aircraft after a major UFO conference. The night sky watch was performed using night vision goggles with video cameras. The person who submitted the report to Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), the biggest organisation of UFO and alien research in the world, has not been named.

According to the report, a large, amber-coloured light appeared low on the horizon, behind Giant Rock. Around 20 of the 50 plus people ran to get a better view of the light, which seemed to be large to the naked eye. Some of the witnesses said that the UFO flew like a bumble bee.

Through night-vision goggles, the UFO was described as appearing like a huge UFO in a diamond shape.

The object then allegedly flew behind a small hill behind the larger group of witnesses.

As the others who ran came back to join the rest of the group, they reportedly all saw three military jets flying above in the direction of the strange aerial thing that disappeared behind the hill.

After the UFO and the three military jets were gone, the group apparently heard the sound of a low flying aircraft from behind the hill. The jet reportedly flew fast and appeared to chase a faster, large, red-glowing light.

The military jet made a loud noise as it flew directly above the witnesses, but the large red light had no sound at all. The jet had red and white blinking strobe lights and glowing afterburners, but the mysterious light had no blinking lights.

The witnesses who observed the strange event with goggles said that they saw either one object with two light sources on it or two lights.

The problem with the video is that it has no sound.

Three-fingered Alien Spotted at a Peru Convention: Illusion or Factual?

Many people have consulted the help of psychic experts about the alien abduction and being abducted by humanoid creatures. Many popular websites or Social Media like Facebook or YouTube have actual video footage of alien sightings and encounters. Many of these videos look genuine since they could be made to look realistic. Therefore, it is essential for you to collect as much information as you possibly can about the alien before making any concrete decision about them. The more that you learn about them, the more likely you will see for yourself that an alien story can make people panic.

Alien hunters are divided with the idea of whether the footage of a tiny, three-fingered humanoid-like creature found in Peru is merely an illusion or factual. The humanoid creature was allegedly unearthed in Nazca, Peru by Jaime Maussan, an investigative journalist. Now some fans are hailing the footage as evidence that the extraterrestrials lived on Earth at once. In a short documentary, a professor at Saint-Petersburg University named Dr Konstantin Korotkov claims that these humanoid features are not a form of deformity, but a creature or humanoid. The body was covered with white powder to preserve it.

Though the result has not been confirmed as a factual basis, Carbon dating samples of the body have been made which dates between 245 to 410 AD. According to a website called Ancient Origins, they should keep an open mind. However, others claim it is, of course, fake and should debunk as a hoax. Many people refer to this incident as a “cover up” by the government. However, there is no evidence found to support this that has ever been reported by the government itself. As far as crafts are concerned, we have to keep aware that we may or may not have been visited by space creatures. For now, the answers lie in our own beliefs.

Pentagon denies aliens crashed in Roswell

The Pentagon yesterday tried to shoot down a nagging 50-year-old UFO mystery with a new report saying the “alien bodies” spotted near a supposed saucer crash site in New Mexico were really just military crash-test dummies.

There is “no evidence whatsoever of flying saucers, space aliens or sinister government coverups,” the report said.

But UFO buffs branded the 231-page report  optimistically titled “Case Closed”  yet another whitewash by a government that seems to think they are the dummies.

“It’s preposterous,” said Michael Luckman, head of the New York Center for UFO Research.

Luckman pointed out that the Air Force’s life-size plastic parachute dummies were first dropped from the skies in 1953  six years after the mysterious 1947 incident in Roswell, N.M.

Witnesses say they saw four or five small gray bodies in early July 1947 at the Roswell Army Air Field Hospital, and being put aboard military planes bound for Texas.

Air Force Col. John Haynes, who presented the new report at a laughter-punctuated Pentagon press conference, speculated that people saw the dummies but confused the dates.

“I have no other explanation,” Haynes said.

In 1947, the Air Force said an ordinary weather balloon had crashed. After several witnesses over the decades said the debris looked extraterrestrial, the Air Force released a 1994 report saying it was really a top-secret high-altitude balloon designed to sniff out Soviet atomic tests.

The latest explanation apparently won’t stop the conspiracy theorists.

A Time/CNN poll last week found that one in three Americans believes the Earth is being visited by aliens and that the government is covering it up.

But Haynes said the government could never pull it off.

“We can’t even keep single secrets,” he said. “How could we have a conspiracy or coverup?”

The 50th anniversary of the Roswell Incident  to be celebrated next week by 100,000 UFO devotees in New Mexico  has sparked new interest in flying saucers.

GREAT PYRAMID, SPHINX MAY BE 800,000 YEARS OLD AFTER SURVIVING ‘GREAT FLOOD’

Recent research suggests the Great Pyramid, Sphinx and surrounding Giza plateau have suffered heavy floods, indicating the structures may be thousands of years older than first thought. Traces of water erosion could also potentially prove that the Pyramids and Sphinx may even pre-date ancient Egypt.

THE OLDEST OF THE WORLD’S SEVEN WONDERS JUST GOT A LOT OLDER  

ystery has always surrounded these monoliths. In addition to not understanding just how these were built without the use of modern technology, scientists are also baffled by its precision and location. Facing true north and at the direct center of earth’s landmass, the Great Pyramid is still the most accurate aligned structure in existence.

While these issues remain unsolved, perhaps this latest discovery is even more impressive. The evidence of water erosion found in Giza shows that the Great Pyramid and Sphinx were likely submerged under water. Although this theory was first explored in the early 90’s, recent studies have made significant gains in proving its validity.

At an International Conference of Geoarchaeology and Archaeomineralogy held in Bulgaria, two scientists presented existing geological studies to determine when this erosion may have occurred. Arguing that rising sea water caused the Nile River to overflow and the Giza plateau to flood, Vjacheslav Manichev and Alexander Parkhomenko used this information to establish that the age of the Sphinx may actually be over 800,000 years old.

“The geological approach in connection to other scientific-natural methods permits to answer the question about the relative age of the Sphinx,” the scientists said. “The conducted visual investigation of the Sphinx allowed the conclusion about the important role of water from large water bodies which partially flooded the monument with a formation of wave-cut hollows on its vertical walls.”

Though this research strongly points to these mammoth constructions being built by an ancient civilization prior to the Egyptians, there is still debate over whether a “great flood” ever happened. However, Robert Ballard, who is famous for his discovery of the shipwrecked Titanic, concluded through seashell carbon dating that such a catastrophic flood of “biblical” proportions must have taken place around 5,000 BC.

This evidence further demonstrates that the Great Pyramid and Sphinx may be even older than anyone previously believed. Yet, despite all these findings, researchers will never definitively be able to solve the mystery behind these enduring monuments.

“While many questions remain unanswered about the Great Pyramid of Giza, we still remain perplexed by the complexity and precision of this incredible ancient structure thousands of years after it was created,” Ivan Petricevic, founder and editor of the Ancient Code website, said.

The Mystery of Rh-Negative Blood

What Does the absence of Rhesus monkey factor mean?

No solid scientific explanation exists as to how or why Rh- blood came about. It is presumed to be the result of a random mutation. Have you ever felt you were weird or different? It may be due to your DNA … 85% of humans have the monkey gene (RH+) and 15% do not (RH-) and maybe have an alien gene instead. RH- people are characterized by higher IQs, sensitive vision, lower body temperatures, sensitivity to heat and sunlight, psychic power, ability to stop watches and electrical appliances and having extra vertebrae…

Of the human blood types, O is the most common. It is a universal blood type. Blood types are further broken down into two groups, negative and positive. This is called the RH factor. The RH factor is the Rhesus (rhesus as in monkey) blood factor. If your blood tests positive for this, you have the factor in your blood. If you test negative, you do not have the factor in your blood. The RH factor is a protein found in the human blood that is directly linked to the Rhesus Monkey.

When blood type is inherited from your parents, it is known that this factor element of the blood is the most consistent human or animal characteristic passed on to the off spring. There are VERY few aberrations. It rarely changes.

Most people, about 85%, have RH-positive blood. That could support the idea that humans evolved or were derived from Primates. 15 % of humans have RH-negative blood. If blood type is one of least mutable human characteristic, where did the RH negative come from? This question has puzzled scientists for years. There is some evidence that suggests the RH-negative blood group may have appeared about 35,000 years ago. And the appearance was regional and seemed to, originally, be connected with certain groups/tribes of people.

Northern Spain and Southern France is where you can find some of the highest concentration of the RH-negative factor in the Basque people. Another original group were the Eastern/Oriental Jews. In general, about 40 – 45% of Europeans have the RH-negative group. Only about 3% of African descendent and about 1% of Asian or Native American descendent has the RH-negative group. Due to the larger European numbers, it is a safe bet that was where it was introduced into the human genetic code. Could this also be where the Caucasian was introduced? Is the introduction of Caucasian related to the RH-blood factor.

If the RH-negative factor is a ‘normal’ presentation of blood, then why is there a problem when a mother of the RH-negative blood group gives birth to an RH-positive blood group baby. This Hemolytic disease, actually an allergic reaction, can cause death when the two different blood groups are mingled during pregnancy. When the antigenic substances attack the negative blood group it can destroy the blood cells. So why does the human body produce antigens to this blood type? Is the blood group alien?

The only other time this occurs in nature is, as an example, when donkeys and horses are crossed to produce mules. This is not ‘natural’ because left alone in the wild, these animals would never cross breed. Only with intervention would this happen. Was there a cross breeding of two human like beings, similar but genetically different?

People with RH-negative blood group have certain characteristics that seem to be common among the majority. Here is a brief list of the most common.

¨ Extra vertebra.
¨ Higher than average IQ
¨ More sensitive vision and other senses.
¨ Lower body temperature
¨ Higher blood pressure
¨ Increased occurrence of psychic/intuitive abilities
¨ Predominantly blue, green, or Hazel eyes
¨ Red or reddish hair
¨ Has increased sensitivity to heat and sunlight
¨ Cannot be cloned
¨ Alien Abduction and other unexplained phenomenon

So what does this mean? What can be concluded?

The appearance of RH-negative blood did not follow the usual evolutionary path. In fact, evolution would seem to be ruled out as a possible cause of the anomaly. It has been proven that blood is the least likely to mutate. There are no other blood mutations. The introduction of the RH-negative blood type was not a naturally occurring part of human evolution.

This would lend credence that the RH-negative factor was introduced from an outside source. Could the source be from human like beings from another planet? Or maybe we are just as alien as they are, in that, we are a product of their manipulation and interference. Could they have come here and manipulated life forms already present on earth to create modern man?

Many ancient texts, including, the Bible, do support this theory. Many stories in the ancient texts, especially pre-Christian texts, do tell about a race that from the Heavens to the Earth Came. And they created man in their image. Man saw them as gods, living long lives and performing miracles. Flying about in the sky ships and shooting fire and creating ear-shattering booms. The humans watched as these gods built massive and glorious houses and created beautiful cities for themselves. From man’s primitive point of view, they were gods. But that was early man’s point of view.

Who were the gods? The ancient stories tell us a lot about these gods. They obviously had advanced technology capable of space travel and air travel. They knew about aviation, metallurgy, the universe, the cosmic progression, medicine and evidently genetics. They knew about atomic energy and weapons and used them. Evidence of this can be found on Earth. They knew about agriculture and how to create more nutritious grains and other food staples. All of the basic grains that humans rely on for food have been determined to have all appeared at the same time spanning roughly a 10,000 year period. A very short time, geologically speaking. And no new grain has since been developed.

Our ancient texts tell us they began to take humans for their spouses. The Bible says, and the gods looked upon woman and found her pleasant to behold and took her as their wives. They had children, many children. But not all humans were a result of interbreeding. The first human was a result of scientific research combining primates with the gods’ genes. The first humans were not a product of interbreeding. But small portions of humans are a result of this interbreeding and their blood type can support this.

In the first part of this article, I described to you what happens when two species who similar but genetically different interbreed. They produce hybrids. The example I gave was about horses, donkeys, and mules. Mules are the hybrid, the product of a union between a horse and a donkey. However, mules are born sterile because there is no genetic relationship between the horse and the donkey.

When humans were first created, they were a product of two genetically similar but not related species.

The combination of the DNA of the primates and the gods was produced ‘artificially’ in a lab. If the gods have the technology to create a new species, they would have no problem overcoming the problem of the hybrids being sterile. A little genetic manipulation and it would no longer be an issue.

Three proto types of humans were created. Each one successively more advanced. Two types by design and the last by chance. Neanderthal Man is suspected of being an early humanoid created by the gods but Cro-magnon was definitely a product of their intervention. The next type is whom we call pre-human and then we have modern man. Modern man was a result of interbreeding between the gods and pre-humans. This interbreeding for the most part created no problems in the resulting offspring, except for a line that inherited, from their godly parents, the RH-negative blood type.

This is supported by the fact that these humans did not inherit the protein found in the blood that is directly linked to the Rhesus Monkey. They did not inherit it because one of their parents did not have the monkey protein. This protein is present only because combining primate DNA with DNA from the gods created the original human proto-type that carried the monkey protein. So in conclusion, I suggest that man is a creation of a highly technological race of human like beings that From the Heavens to the Earth came. I suggest that these advanced beings are still among us today and are still very active in the affairs of man. To what end, I can only suggest.

Global Blood suppliers managed to infect or kill 90% of Hemophiliacs in world by providing them with tainted blood. If Hemophiliac is the “Royal Disease”, woe to generations of boys, who could not be king. Worldwide, over 120,000 men, women and boys…a true “genetic holocaust”…are now infected with HIV worldwide…due to tainted blood transfusions At least 25,000 have died.

In some areas, the Rh-Negative blood factor is referred to as “Blood Royale” or “Royal Blood”. For centuries, European royalty have been inflicted with Hemophilia or “bleeders disease”. Apparently, Queen Victoria was a “carrier” of Hemophilia and gave it to all of her children who then intermarried and infected the bloodlines of very throne in Europe during the 1800s and 1900s.

As a direct result, Hemophilia became known as the “Royal Disease”. To keep this in perspective, only about 5% of all “royalty” have Rh-Factor negative blood…which means “less than the general population. That would indicate that the vast majority of “rulers” and “monarchs” are NOT Rhesus-factor negative. Is this by chance? or by genetic engineering called “arranged marriages”?

For all practical purposes the cultural group with the highest rates of Rh-negative blood are the “Berbers” of Morocco. In an earlier meme, i indicated that the highest concentration of Rh-Factor Negative was from Iraq. It seems that the Berbers may actually have originated thousands of years ago, from the border of Syria and Iraq.

If European royalty are no disposed to intermarriage with Rh-Negs, it may be because they are avoiding the “arab” bloodline? Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. It appears that the Basque Rh-neg factors come from ancient Berber sea farers as early as 8,000 BC! Perhaps, many of the “cave paintings” may be attributed to “strangers” of great artistic ability that migrated into the area.

Is “hyper-creativity” a “symptom” of Rh-Negative Blood? Artists? Entertainers? Who knows…but if European Royalty refuse to marry into the Rh Negative blood line it means one thing…Rh-Neg people are a “competing royal line”.

How do you get rid of it once and for all? Although the British would love for you to think that Victoria was the world’s first carrier…don’t be confused. It was he Hapsburg’s disease. Was Victoria a Hapsburg?

The unofficial motto of the Hapsburg family was “Bella gerunt alii, tu, felix Austria, nubes!” (”Where others must fight wars, you, fortunate Austria, marry!).

It’s curious that “marriage” can be a “dynastic” undertaking but it can also be a perverse form of “bio-warfare” or “genetic warfare”. In fact, the disease was much more ancient.

The “Father of Surgery” was El Zarhawi or Albucasis, 1013-1106. Albucasis described a family where only males died from blood loss after the most trivial of injury.

– http://www.unhas.ac.id/~rhiza/saintis/zahravi.html  

His full name was Abul Qasim Khalaf ibn al-Abbas al-Zahravi. He was born and brought up in Zahra (zorro?) , the royal suburb of Cordova (Arabic Qurtuba), the capital of Muslim Spain. As we know from the history, Zahra competed in grandeur and magnificence with Baghdad. Al-Zahravi served in the capacity of the court physician to King Al-Hakam-II of Spain. After a long and distinguished medical career he died in 1013 C.E.

As an inventor of many surgical instruments, Al-Zahravi is famous for developing instruments for internal examination of the ear, internal inspection of the urethra and for applying or removing foreign bodies from the throat. He introduced such new procedures as cauterization of wounds, crushing stones inside the bladder, the vivisection and dissection.

He applied cauterization procedure to as many as 50 different operations. In addition, Al-Zahravi discussed the preparation of medicines and the application of such techniques as sublimation and decantation. He prescribed the use of diuretics, sudorifics, purgatives, the absorption of pure wine and hot baths. Al-Zahravi was the first to give detailed description hemophilia and was the first to use silk thread for stitching wounds.

So, you begin to wonder if the good doctor was treating an “Arab” family in Moorish Spain for the disease. Then you begin to wonder just where a supposed blue blood like Victoria got her “Arab Royalty Disease”??? Was it a disease of Spanish Royalty?

In other words, was marriage to Victoria’s daughters a way to kill or weaken future “non-Hapsburg” kings…since mostly males only contract the disease from their mothers? Still, Hemophilia was in Royalty long before Victoria.

Victoria’s daughters passed the disease into the Spanish, German and Russian Royal lines and threatened the thrones of all of Europes major powers. It would appear that Victoria is actually a direct descendant of Ferdinand of Castille, who retook he city of Castille in 1236, where the surgeon Abulcasis had counseled King Hakam II about a family who’s sons died easily.

What’s the connection between Hemophilia, Rh-Negative, AIDS and Royal Blood?

http://therhnegativefactor.webs.com/chapter1.htm

 As you can see the vast majority of RH- people come from the Basque people of France and Spain, and then Europe has the second highest percentage.  We can surmise that the RH- blood type originates out of Europe and has spread over to other countries that contain European ancestry heritage.  The RH- recessive alleles (+/-) make up approximately 60% of the Basque people and 40% of the Europeans, so that means that a higher percentage of RH+ people in Europe are carrying the genetics of the RH- factor in their DNA.

******************************************************************

“No one has tried to explain where the Rh negative people came from. Most, familiar with blood factors, admit that these people must at least be a mutation if not descendants of a different ancestor. If we are a mutation, what caused the mutation? Why does it continue with the exact characteristics? Why does it so violently reject the Rh factor, if it was in their own ancestry? Who was this ancestor? Difficulties in determining ethnology are largely overcome by the use of blood group data, for they are a single gene characteristic and not affected by the environment.

The Basque people of Spain and France have the highest percentage of Rh negative blood. About 30% have (rr) Rh negative and about 60% carry one (r) negative gene. The average among most people is only 15%-Rh negative, while some groups have very little. The Oriental Jews of Israel, also have a high percent Rh negative, although most other Oriental people have only about 1% Rh negative. The Samaritans and the Black Cochin Jew also have a high percentage of Rh negative blood, although again the Rh negative blood is rare among most black people.

http://www.greatdreams.com/reptlan/rhneg.htm

***********************************************************

The Basque people are also known for having the oldest language in Europe, and the origins of the Basque language are unknown.  The languages in neighboring countries in Europe show no resemblance to the Basque language, so this has become a real mystery to the linguist.

The Celtic people of Ireland and Great Britain also have high incidences of the RH- factor and it has recently been proven that there is a genetic link between the Basque and the Celts.  This research proves that the Celtic people came from the Basque regions of France and Spain and a group must have migrated over to the islands of Great Britain.  With this research I can surmise that my family got this distinct blood type from our French and Irish ancestry roots. 

************************************************************

Genes link Celts to Basques

The Welsh and Irish Celts have been found to be the genetic blood-brothers of Basques, scientists have revealed.

The gene patterns of the three races passed down through the male line are all “strikingly similar”, researchers concluded.

‘Statistically indistinguishable’

He and his colleagues looked at Y-chromosomes, passed from father to son, of Celtic and Norwegian populations. They found them to be quite different.

“But we also noticed that there’s something quite striking about the Celtic populations, and that is that there’s not a lot of genetic variation on the Y-chromosome,” he said.

To try to work out where the Celtic population originally came from, the team from UCL, the University of Oxford and the University of California at Davis also looked at Basques.

“On the Y-chromosome the Celtic populations turn out to be statistically indistinguishable from the Basques,”

Professor Goldstein said.

Why are people calling RH negatives “blue bloods”?  Well, again a peculiar thing happens between an RH- mother and a second RH+ baby.  As you may remember an RH- mother builds up antibodies against the RH+ baby, and this means that the babies blood will start to agglutinate.  Before the rhoGAM shot, babies were born blue and they needed to have blood transfusions to survive.

Blue blood is an expression from the Spanish phrase “sangre azul,” indicating noble birth or descent. This is said to derive from the fact that the native Spanish had fairer skin, which displays veins more prominently, than people of Arab origin. After the Moorish occupation of Spain, intermarriage occurred. The result seems to have been that the aristocracy, particularly certain families in Castille, who would not mix with the Moors, showed rather bluer blood vessels (in, for example, the back of the hand) than the ordinary folk.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_blood

So the phrase blue blood came to refer to the blood which flowed in the veins of the oldest and most aristocratic families. The phrase was taken over into English in the 1830s. By the time Anthony Trollope used it in The Duke’s Children in 1880, it had become common.

Russia “UFO’s are real and we know how to Summon them!”

Summoning the Aliens

The Russians have recently claimed that they can now predict when UFOs will appear in the skies above them and that they have now learnt how to willingly summon them! The Russians have also claimed that UFO activity is increased when large scale weapons testing is taking place, of which they have been measuring UFO activity by doing so!

According to Vasily Yeremenko, a Major General of FIB in reserve, academician of the Academy of Security, Defence and Law Enforcement:

“We can say that we learned to summon UFOs in Vladimirovka. To do this, we dramatically increased the number of military flights and movement of the equipment. If the intensity on our side increased, UFOs appeared with the probability of 100 percent.”Vasily Yeremenko

Are the Aliens watching our weapons capabilities!?

The Russians have now put together the below three main conclusions:

• Modern science is not yet able to identify such phenomena.
• The UFOs could be US or Japan surveillance drones.
• The UFOs could be extraterrestrial activity.

According to Svobodnaya Pressa, which is a major Russian news website, the Russian Navy have actually now declassified records of numerous encounters with unidentified objects that technologically surpass anything ever built by humanity….leading to the fact that these UFO’s MUST be of an Alien origin!

A special unique Navy group which is headed by Deputy Navy Commander Admiral Nikolay Smirnov collected information on reports of unidentified objects, delivered by submarines and military ships.

According to Vladimir Azhazha, a UFO researcher and former Military Navy officer:

“Fifty percent of UFO encounters are connected with oceans. Fifteen more – with lakes. So UFOs tend to stick to the water.”Vladimir Azhazha

UFO’s appear to like to stay close to the water!

According to one high level report, a Russian nuclear submarine which was on a combat mission at the time had detected six unknown objects pursuing them. After failing miserably to lose the objects following them, the captain then ordered the submarine to surface, of which the objects followed, departed from the water and flew away at extremely high speeds.

Back in 1982 a group of military divers training at Baikal witnessed a group of what appeared to be humanoid beings dressed in silver suits. Despite the divers trying to catch them, three of them died whilst the other four were injured in this bizarre incident.

According to Captain 1st rank Igor Barklayof Navy Intelligence:

“Ocean UFO’s often show up wherever our or NATO’s fleets concentrate. Near Bahamas, Bermudas, Puerto Rico. They are most often seen in the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean, in the southern part of the Bermuda Triangle, and also in the Caribbean Sea.”Captain 1st rank Igor Barklayof Navy Intelligence

Are they watching us and reviewing our ways and actions!?

U.I.P Summary

---

My what a year 2015 is becoming! We are getting piece of disclosure from every angle it feels like and perhaps it is now time to join all of the dots together!

When the Russians say that they can summon the UFO’s at a guess I think what they actually mean is that mankind’s actions can dictate when they appear. For quite some time now we have heard about UFO’s over looking military exercises and watching over Nuclear weapons storage facilities…..in fact some UFO’s have apparently even managed to turn nuclear weapons off!

Could it be that the Aliens are watching us so closely as they are concerned about what card we are going to play next.  As we at U.I.P have stated many times before, nobody should have the right to destroy this beautiful planet with weapons of mass destruction….And perhaps THIS is why ‘they’ are watching us so closely!!
