Tides on exoplanets could drive alien biological clocks
Tides on exoplanets could drive alien biological clocks
Time and tide help to get life going

By Abigail Beall
Worlds with a permanent day and night side aren’t obvious places to look in the search for extraterrestrial life. Apart from having extremes of temperature, such planets would make it hard for a biological clock to get going.
But now it seems that if these worlds also have oceans, then tides could drive a biological clock just like a rising and setting sun would, according to a simulation by Avi Loeb and Manasvi Lingam at Harvard University.
We used to think that not having a day-night cycle would make it harder for life to emerge, because of the lack of a circadian clock. On Earth, these built-in timekeepers play an important role in several biological contexts, including reproduction.
Of course, it’s possible to imagine aliens without biological clocks, but how life could evolve without one is difficult to imagine.
“There is abundant evidence that biological clocks are essential to modern life on Earth, and that biological clocks may have evolved very early in the history of life on Earth, either in cyanobacteria or in other single-celled organisms,” says Jennifer Macalady at Pennsylvania State University.
Tides make life tick
Loeb and Lingam’s study shows tides could play the role of timekeeper. If a planet with one side always facing its star has an elliptical orbit, the change in distance as it circles the star would create the back and forth pull needed for tides.
“Because of the small size of the habitable zone around stars like TRAPPIST-1, the tides are orders of magnitude larger than on Earth,” Loeb says.
Tides would form ponds as they go out, and can also help dissipate heat caused by volcanic activity or proximity to the planet’s star, mimicking periodic evaporation caused by a rising and setting sun. Each cycle would concentrate chemicals essential for the emergence of life. Eventually, life could evolve with its days and nights governed by the flow of the ocean.
This might sound alien, but even on Earth some animals’ biological clocks are set by the tides rather than the sun. So-called circatidal rhythms govern the lives of certain fish and crabs.
What kinds of worlds are likely to have a permanent day and night side? Some planets orbiting dwarf stars, like the nearby Proxima Centauri or TRAPPIST-1, are much closer to their host stars than we are to our sun. Because of this proximity, gravity from the star tugs much more at one side of a planet than the other, causing it to show the same face to its star throughout an orbit.
On such a “tidally locked” planet, the side facing away from the star would never receive light and could be too cold for life, while the side facing it could be too hot. The areas where life might develop would be on the border – the zone experiencing a constant “sunrise” or “sunset”.
“Work like this is important to inform our understanding of how life might evolve on the planets around other stars,” says Matt Burleigh at the University of Leicester, UK. “Oceanic tides may well be another factor that needs to be taken into account when speculating on life on planets around red dwarf stars like Proxima Centauri.”
Algal signals
Loeb and Lingam say these planets might be revealed to us through algal blooms that would change how the planet reflects its star’s light, in sync with the tides. But even if there is a signature there, seeing it might be tricky, says Jaymie Matthews at the University of British Columbia in Canada.
“Even if tidal blooms in an alien ocean are more extensive than in Earth’s, they are unlikely to be global,” he says.
“And they are not long-lasting, so the signature in the spectrum of exoplanet light will be diluted and intermittent.”
In Serbia, a local resident made a video of unidentified flying objects in the sky over the city of Doni Milanovac.
The video shows five bright UFOs lining up in triangles, changing the configuration and then disappearing. None of the objects looked like a star, and it is hard to ascribe the sighting to a natural phenomenon.
Earlier, another UFO sighting was reported in the sky over Chile. A V-shaped unidentified flying object was hovering in the night sky. The strange phenomenon was noticed by Roberto Antezana.
He is not the first to witness unusual manifestations from outer space. At first, the scientist decided that this was a Japanese satellite. However, the UFO was hovering in the sky for 35 minutes, which made the astrophysicist doubt its earthly origin. Inside the V-shaped nebula, there were other objects of unknown origin.

Watching the skies for mysterious UFOs
Watching the skies for mysterious UFOs
Mark Smith saw this 'UFO' in the sky above Preston
Do you believe in little grey men?
Blackpool is now a growing hub for those who want to believe, as a network for reported UFO sightings opens in the resort.
Tim Bartrop, 52, founded the Lancashire UFO Sightings Network in his youth, and now hopes to revive the club to provide the people of Blackpool with a viable alternative to the Ministry Of Defence’s UFO desk, which closed down in 2009.
He said: “The Ministry of Defence closed down its UFO service in 2009 and since then nobody has had anything to report UFO sightings to.
“That’s why I have opened this up in Blackpool.”
Tim, who lives off Central Drive, was inspired to form a group for believers to report their findings after his first and only encounter with the unexplained while growing up in Darnall, Sheffield.
He said: “I decided to call for my best friend at the time , who lived three doors up from me.
“As we were both star gazers we decided to go to the bottom of the street where the park is to get a better view of the sky above Darnall.
“We both had noticed this bright light in the sky, as well as other stars moving towards us.
“They were rectangle in shape and three of them joined up. It was very bright, with no sound. They must have been about 500 yards above the houses.
” He now hopes to encourage the people of Blackpool to come forward with stories of their own UFO sightings.
He said: “Blackpool and Lancashire is a hotspot for UFO sightings.”
Two UFOs were said to have been spotted in the sky over Fleetwood in 2015, and one over Lytham and St Annes the year before.
People who wish to report a UFO sighting to the Lancashire UFO Sighting Network (LUFOS) can email report.lufos@gmail.com.
Why looking for aliens is good for society (even if there aren't any)
Why looking for aliens is good for society (even if there aren't any)
by Ian Crawford, The Conversation

The search for life elsewhere in the universe is one of the most compelling aspects of modern science. Given its scientific importance, significant resources are devoted to this young science of astrobiology, ranging from rovers on Mars to telescopic observations of planets orbiting other stars.
The holy grail of all this activity would be the actual discovery of alien life, and such a discovery would likely have profound scientific and philosophical implications. But extraterrestrial life has not yet been discovered, and for all we know may not even exist. Fortunately, even if alien life is never discovered, all is not lost: simply searching for it will yield valuable benefits for society.
Why is this the case?
First, astrobiology is inherently multidisciplinary. To search for aliens requires a grasp of, at least, astronomy, biology, geology, and planetary science. Undergraduate courses in astrobiology need to cover elements of all these different disciplines, and postgraduate and postdoctoral astrobiology researchers likewise need to be familiar with most or all of them.
By forcing multiple scientific disciplines to interact, astrobiology is stimulating a partial reunification of the sciences. It is helping to move 21st-century science away from the extreme specialisation of today and back towards the more interdisciplinary outlook that prevailed in earlier times.
By producing broadminded scientists, familiar with multiple aspects of the natural world, the study of astrobiology therefore enriches the whole scientific enterprise. It is from this cross-fertilization of ideas that future discoveries may be expected, and such discoveries will comprise a permanent legacy of astrobiology, even if they do not include the discovery of alien life.
It is also important to recognise that astrobiology is an incredibly open-ended endeavour. Searching for life in the universe takes us from extreme environments on Earth, to the plains and sub-surface of Mars, the icy satellites of the giant planets, and on to the all-but-infinite variety of planets orbiting other stars. And this search will continue regardless of whether life is actually discovered in any of these environments or not. The range of entirely novel environments opened to investigation will be essentially limitless, and so has the potential to be a never-ending source of scientific and intellectual stimulation.

Beyond the more narrowly intellectual benefits of astrobiology are a range of wider societal benefits. These arise from the kinds of perspectives – cosmic in scale – that the study of astrobiology naturally promotes.
It is simply not possible to consider searching for life on Mars, or on a planet orbiting a distant star, without moving away from the narrow Earth-centric perspectives that dominate the social and political lives of most people most of the time. Today, the Earth is faced with global challenges that can only be met by increased international cooperation. Yet around the world, nationalistic and religious ideologies are acting to fragment humanity. At such a time, the growth of a unifying cosmic perspective is potentially of enormous importance.
In the early years of the space age, the then US ambassador to the United Nations, Adlai Stevenson, said of the world: "We can never again be a squabbling band of nations before the awful majesty of outer space." Unfortunately, this perspective is yet to sink deeply into the popular consciousness. On the other hand, the wide public interest in the search for life elsewhere means that astrobiology can act as a powerful educational vehicle for the popularisation of this perspective.
Indeed, it is only by sending spacecraft out to explore the solar system, in large part for astrobiological purposes, that we can obtain images of our own planet that show it in its true cosmic setting.
In addition, astrobiology provides an important evolutionary perspective on human affairs. It demands a sense of deep, or big, history. Because of this, many undergraduate astrobiology courses begin with an overview of the history of the universe. This begins with the Big Bang and moves successively through the origin of the chemical elements, the evolution of stars, galaxies, and planetary systems, the origin of life, and evolutionary history from the first cells to complex animals such as ourselves. Deep history like this helps us locate human affairs in the vastness of time, and therefore complements the cosmic perspective provided by space exploration.
Political implications
There is a well-known aphorism, widely attributed to the Prussian naturalist Alexander von Humboldt, to the effect that "the most dangerous worldview is the worldview of those who have not viewed the world". Humboldt was presumably thinking about the mind-broadening potential of international travel. But familiarity with the cosmic and evolutionary perspectives provided by astrobiology, powerfully reinforced by actual views of the Earth from space, can surely also act to broaden minds in such a way as to make the world less fragmented and dangerous.
I think there is an important political implication inherent in this perspective: as an intelligent technological species, that now dominates the only known inhabited planet in the universe, humanity has a responsibility to develop international social and political institutions appropriate to managing the situation in which we find ourselves.
In concluding his monumental Outline of History in 1925, HG Wells famously observed: "Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe." Such an observation appears especially germane to the geopolitical situation today, where apparently irrational decisions, often made by governments (and indeed by entire populations) seemingly ignorant of broader perspectives, may indeed lead our planet to catastrophe.
In the Milky Way alone, there are an estimated 100,000 million stars and 100 billion planets, many of which are “potentially habitable,” meaning they could have the conditions right for life to emerge.
It is important to remember when scientists discuss alien life, there are two types—microbial and intelligent. When NASA talks about searching for life elsewhere in our solar system, such as on Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus, they are referring to microbial life—simple primitive cells or multicellular organisms—not intelligent beings that have developed something resembling what we find on Earth.
Microbial life can exist in some of the most extreme conditions on Earth—from the bottom of the ocean to boiling hot hydrothermal vents. If we apply our understanding of life on Earth to conditions that may exist on other planets, the likelihood of life being able to survive increases.
Then there’s intelligent life. Intelligence does not necessarily mean human intelligence. It could come in a variety of forms. Octopus, for example, are considered to be extremely intelligent by scientists. But we couldn’t have a conversation with an octopus as it possesses a different form of intelligence to our own.

There is also an argument to say that we, as a species, are not very intelligent. On the Kardashev scale—a measure of a civilization’s level of intelligence based on how technologically advanced it is—mankind is not even really at level one. The most advanced civilization would have mastered interstellar travel and can harness and control the energy produced by its entire galaxy.
The universe has existed for an estimated 13.82 billion years, with the first stars forming around 500 million years later. After the stars came the planets, with Earth being a fairly late addition, having been created 4.6 billion years ago.
With countless potentially habitable planets forming over the history of the universe, the chance life emerged on just one of them—Earth—is highly unlikely. But if extraterrestrial life is everywhere, why do we seem to be alone? This conundrum is known as the Fermi Paradox.
Dhara Patel, Astronomer for Royal Observatory Greenwich, tells Newsweek: “ Our nearest star is a star called Proxima Centauri and last year in August they found an exoplanet going around this star. It’s 4.2 light years away. If we’re talking about current technology, the technology we have with our spacecrafts, it would take 70,000 years to get there.
The planet Proxima b orbits the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our Solar System, as depicted in this artist's impression released by the European Southern Observatory on August 24, 2016. New study indicates the planet may well have a climate right for alien life.
ESO/M. KORNMESSER/HANDOUT
“Life on Earth only started around four billion years ago. Our universe is 13.8 billion years old and the first life could’ve started about one to two billion years after that start of the universe, so there’s been a huge time period before the Earth where civilizations could’ve developed, could’ve been wiped out and we wouldn’t have even known. Are we in the right time? Have we missed a civilization in the past or is there a civilization yet to come that we could communicate with?”
In the meantime, researchers are working to identify planets that sit within the habitable zone of their solar systems. This is the region of space where liquid water could exist, as it is not too hot or too cold.
NASA’s James Webb Telescope, which is scheduled to launch next year, will be able to detect the atmospheres of these planets, giving a stronger indication of whether or not they could host life. The space agency is also planning a mission to Jupiter’s moon Europa to search out microbial life—which could be the first proof that life exists elsewhere in our solar system.
But until our technology develops to the point where we can explore space on far shorter timescales, the chance of finding intelligent life is very much in the alien ball court.
Is there anybody out there? Is there life on other planets? If the answer is yes, and we can prove it, the physicist Jim Al-Khalili says that would be a revolutionary moment in science, up there with Copernicus proving that Earth is not the center of the universe. Considering the vastness of space, scientists mostly agree that somebody or something else is out there. Al-Khalili joins us Wednesday to explore where that life might be, what it might be like, and what would happen if we found it—or it found us.
Jim Al-Khalili is a quantum physicist, author, and a TV and radio presenter based at the University of Surrey in England. In 2016, he received the inaugural Stephen Hawking Medal for Science Communication. He’s the author of several books, including Paradox: The Nine Greatest Enigmas in Physics an Life on the Edge: The Coming of Age of Quantum Biology. Most recently, he’s the editor of the book Aliens: The World's Leading Scientists on the Search for Extraterrestrial Life [Independent booksellers|Amazon|Audible]
When I first decided to take an active role in UFO research and investigation I consider myself very fortunate to join the Yorkshire UFO Society (YUFOS) which was formed in the early 1980’s by brothers Graham and Mark Birdsall. Many of you may well know that Graham went on to publish and edit the hugely successful newsstand publication UFO MAGAZINE.

Graham and Mark were extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic and I leaned a lot from the both of them. I also consider it very fortunate that at the same time as joining YUFOS that we were literally swamped with UFO reports. In the early 1980’s we had more reports than we knew what to do with. A lot of these sightings came from areas in North Yorkshire and especially around the moors above the village of Carleton near Skipton.
Much of our work and UFO case files from that era have been lost along the way but some information does still exist. In the early days of YUFOS we printed the small publication the YUFOS JOURNAL.What I would like to do is to re-publish an article written by mark Birdsall which featured in the May 1983 YUFOS JOURNAL – VOLUME 2 Number 2.
YUFOS Volume 1
The Following article by Mark Birdsall shows exactly what I have been talking about and will hopefully give you some idea of what we were dealing with at the time.
The Case For North Yorkshire:
During the last 24 months we have received no fewer than 30 reports of unusual objects observed in North Yorkshire. We have on record, reports of objects coming within 50ft of experienced police officers. In fact we have been able to collect a number-of UFO reports, and build a careful picture of what is really happening in North Yorkshire. But first let us look at the information these cases contain. It is only fair to point out that a very large percentage .of sightings are made from experienced police officers. We have signed statements from many o£ the officers and all lead us to believe, that without a shadow of doubt, something unusual is taking place in and around the moors of North Yorkshire. However, through careful” research there are as many as 90% of the cases we cannot explain. We could state that it might have been a helicopter, or an aircraft. We cannot overlook who are making the observations.

Every possible cause for the sighting of an UFO has to be examined. The area, the description, weather conditions etc.But after researching all of these possibilities we cannot give a viable explanation. Many people then came forward to offer a possible answer. We again examined these, but even as objective researchers we must rule out these. For the reports we have, “contain diagrams and information, which if authentic (and we have no doubts that they are) leads .us to believe that, there is something highly unusual being observed in North Yorkshire. In fact there have been times when we have not been able to grasp the enormity of the situation we have found ourselves in. Is it coincidence that our only photographic evidence came from North Yorkshire, and as yet, has eluded all possible attempts by experts to conclude the photograph explainable hoax etc? Can we reach the position when we can confidently state, that all the information, statements, and photographic evidence is explainable; the answer must be NO.
If we now turn to the collection of reports we have assembled for this publication. On the map, vie have eight positions o It would be impossible to print all our ·cases, so we have selected these complete with diagrams and drawings. The area is proximately 3 miles by 2. The prominent lines across the map are other sightings, relating to the direction in which these objects were seen.
Sighting 1:
The information behind this sighting has yet to be released, however. This particular object was observed by a policeman and a member of the public. At approximately 12.30am both people noticed a large ball of light moving very slowly in their direction. The object was slightly yellowish in colour and was approximately 500ft above the ground. At this moment both persons noticed an aircraft possibly 20,000ft heading in, and over the UFO. At this precise moment the object moved off its original course and after seemingly heading towards the witnesses, altered its course. The object was now parallel to the observers, and it was at this moment one of the witnesses trained his binoculars on the yellow mass. He could clearly see that the yellow ‘oval was in fact the front of a large cigar shape. A red light which had been hidden by the yellow glow was now defined through, use of the binoculars. It was on the side of the object, yet the witness mentioned the red light slowly moved closer to the main yellow light. One can note the comparison in size to the yellow light. Also note the dark area on the underside of the main body of the object. As the object moved slowly away from the witnesses, a ‘small band of yellow lights’ flashed across the centre of the object, giving the impression that the UFO was revolving.The sighting lasted approximately 2 minutes.
Sighting 2:
This very detailed description was given, again by police officers from North Yorkshire. At approximately 5.20 am on Oct 24th, 1982, three police officers who had just 5 minutes earlier observed at close range an array of circular lights noticed a bright strip of light moving very close to the policemen’s original position. (The officers had tried to follow the circular of lights and had driven down the hill a few hundred yards). The object was crescent shaped, and although very bright it did not give off a beam. The UFO moved directly over the officers and one officer commented “it was so low you could have thrown a rock at it”.The object was in fact, just 75-100ft above their heads. At this point the full, length of light intensified, but again did not give off a beam. There are two points to make note of at no time during the sighting was any sound a heard, and notably, an array of red and white lights was clearly around the perimeter (underside) of the object.
Sighting 3:

As mentioned in the last report (sighting 2), this particular sighting was made 5 minutes earlier than the object witnessed is sighting 2. However the officers did not see the UFO approach, nor did they hear any sound. One policeman just looked up into the dark sky and observed the lights slowly moving over their patrol car. The officers state the object was very low. Is it conceivable that the officers had made an error in their observation? Three men, so close to an object they could clearly define, the answer must again be no, even to more objective or sceptical researchers. We now turn our attention to a member of the public, who along with his family experienced a terrifying encounter.
Sighting 4:
Illustration of sighting by MODO.
Mr. X and his family were traveling along the road that leaves the village of Carlton near Skipton. The road rises up and over the moors near Elslack. The family were heading for the supermarket in Colne, a journey they made once a week. They had reached an are known as Standrise Plantation, Mr X then looked through his mirror and noticed 2 coloured balls of light (red & green) moving closer to the car. The balls then buzzed’ the family before moving level with the car. The balls then started to pace the car. The objects themselves were no larger than footballs and both were situated on either side of the car. They continued to fly alongside the car at window height. The occupants in the car became extremely frightened; Mr X was now finding it very hard to keep the car under control. Mrs X was shouting at her husband to turn the car round and return home. The two children were now screaming with fright, and their pet dog was cowering in the back seat. The dog then tried to get beneath the footwell in the car. Mr X had, had enough, he turned the car around and headed back home, the balls of light, also decided to turn around and follow the car. The lights again tracked the family for a short while, before disappearing. Mr X and his family returned home in a very poor state, and since the incident took place, they have not travelled along the moors again.

They use a road which takes them around the area. This particular incident took place in March 1980, and again we cannot find a plausible explanation. The investigator of this case was Alwyn Rogers and he made an interesting comment when typing the report up. He pointed out that Mr X was finding it difficult to control his car was the caused by fright or outside interference? Most members will remember the encounter involving Mrs X, at Coniston Cutting, although the case has almost ended due to circumstances which we are not in the position to control. It is hoped that one day we will be able to start the case moving again. Due to the fact that every member has detailed knowledge of this case, I will just present the outlying factors. Mrs X was followed by a small cluster of lights, shortly after she had left her mothers home. Although she could not define the object which was following her, she was adamant it was not a vehicle. Although at first she mentioned in the report, ‘that she felt· the lorry was taking a long time to overtake her.’ The lights were pacing the car and then she noticed a beam of light strike the side of the car from above her. The incident occurred in March 1982, and as most members are aware our investigation led us to use hypnotic regression for the first ·time. Mrs X had lost approximately 40 minutes on her journey home from her mother’s house in Morecambe. During the investigation, many efforts were made to explain the missing minutes; as yet the loss of such a large amount of time remains a mystery, not only to us, but also to the witness.
Scenic view from Carleton moor.
We are totally convinced that the initial report and information received is true, however we cannot possibly state that the information which we received .through the regression is fact. Again we have a case which involves a high degree of strangeness, and again in North Yorkshire.
Sightings 5 & 6:
Moving to sightings which most researchers would class as nocturnal lights. We have had no fewer than 60 reports of these objects. And I stress the word object. For I myself have observed them on no fewer than three occasions. These objects are quite clearly oval and circular depending on the angle they are viewed at. A number of investigators have seen these particular objects at close range. Sceptics pour .scorn on these sightings and declare them nothing more than· helicopters or aircraft. I agree that probably a number of sightings are explainable. But through careful research we find that on no occasion has any sound ever been heard, and also the majority of these objects are traveling just 400 feet above the ground. Many of the witnesses state that the object seemed to be following the contours of the moors.
Carleton moors.
Would it be conceivable to find aircraft flying at such a dangerous height? One must also note the speed of these objects, most observers’ state that they were traveling at speeds of no more than 40 – 50 mph. One interesting case involving one of these objects occurred in November last year. Two witnesses were on moors near Carlton, when they noticed a bright yellow light moving slowly over the hills. The approximate height of the object was 400ft. Both witnesses then observed an aeroplane heading towards the object (20,000ft). The object then changed course and moved behind a nearby hill. The witnesses watched the aeroplane move quickly out of sight. They were then amazed to see the yellow ball of light move from behind the hillside and continue its silent journey across the moors. These particular sightings are difficult to assess, and the in formation which they contain is limited. A comment by the witnesses who see these objects repeats it’ self throughout the statements made by the witnesses, this is, that on· no occasion did the observer see any other lights. Or in fact a solid body beneath the· glow however if we return to object one on the diagrams, the witnesses state that until they observed the object with binoculars they could see only the brilliant yellow glow. It would seem that the intense light .of the object distorted the actual shape; however this all remains conjecture at the moment.
Sighting 7:
Illustration of sighting by MODO.
One of the most spectacular sightings we have on record is this observation made by two North Yorkshire police officers. This sighting occurred on the moors just East of Cononley. The time was 3.20 am when both officers noticed an extremely bright light moving directly towards their position. No definition could be seen and the UFO moved directly over their position. The height of the object was approximately 200ft it was then that the object turned slightly to one side· (tilted). The officers were startled with regard to the actual shape and size of the object. Both· men estimated the length of the object to be approximately 100ft. The entire object was glowing and the lower ‘skirt’ was revolving. Three large balls on the underside could clearly be seen. ‘Portholes’ which were darker than the rest of the object were also seen. From an objective point of view, this case is almost too good to believe. But we have no doubts whatsoever regarding the information in this report, that the officers did in fact observe an unusual craft. It would be difficult not to relate such a ·detailed account if the object passed over your head at just 200feet. Many similarities have been made with the ‘Adamski’ photographs; however the witnesses state the object they observed appeared more streamlined than the alleged photographs taken by George Adamski. In any event, serious investigators do· not lay much foundation with regard to Adamski ‘s claims. However; critics would find it very difficult to try and explain to the officers involved with this sighting, that what they had observed was an IFO.
Sighting 8:

One of the most famous UFO cases in Britain was the Livingston close encounter, in Scotland. The witness (Robert Taylor) was apparently ‘attacked’ by two circular spiked objects. These small objects have led researchers to drawn up similarities with this sighting and the Livingstone incident. Three witnesses observed a small object zig – zagging across Elslack Moor. A series of rods and white lights could. Be seen revolving around the small body of the 0bject. It was approximately 4ft above the ground. They then noticed a beam of light being emitted from the underside directly onto the ground. At one point the object came within 50ft of the witnesses. Due to the circumstances which were about to follow we feel this object was in some way connected to the objects which were observed a few minutes later. We did send a ground team to the area, and one or two marks were noticed, but it would be difficult to relate them to this sighting. All we can say is that they were quite similar to marks found in the ground with regard to the Livingston case.

In this study we have just scraped the surface on the information which our case files contain. But our attention has been drawn to the area, not just because of the amount of sightings, but also the high strangeness of the cases.
END
I have to say that I personally remember many of these sightings being reported to us at YUFOS and I also participated in the research and investigation of some of them. There is no doubt in my mind that many of them still remain unexplained. Carlton moor and surrounding areas near Skipton in North Yorkshire was a hot bed for UFO sightings. In those days it was termed a ‘window area’ while today you might call it a ‘portal’. I prefer window area personally. Our research also uncovered UFO sighting in the area going back decades so one this was for sure and that was that the wave of sightings in the area in the 1980’s was nothing new.
To be actively involved in UFO investigations during this time period was the ideal apprenticeship for any would-b UFO enthusiast and I consider myself to be very fortunate to have been there at the time. There was a period that we had more sightings reported that we could handle.
Of course all things must come to an end and YUFOS did but Graham went on with his brother Mark to publish UFO MAGAZINE and stage many highly successful UFO conference the like of which have not been seen again since Graham’s untimely death. I just hope I’m still around when the next ‘flap’ occurs around the moors above Skipton as I am in no doubt it will happen one day.
A California witness at Moorpark reported watching an odd object with cloaking abilities with the words “USAF 003” on its tail stabilizer, according to testimony in Case 84601 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was sitting in a restaurant drive-thru lane at 11:24 a.m. on June 25, 2017, when the incident occurred.
“Looking right at it, my eyes hurt to look at it,” the witness stated. “It is using some kind of neural confusion. It was like trying to look at a needle coming at your eye. It gave off some type of electrical interference, and seemed to rotate radially even though it was stationary. It looked big enough to hold one or two people.”
But the witness stated that there were letters and numbers on the object that were readable.
“I could see very clearly on the tail stabilizer, USAF 003, in white paint. There were bright, silver fixtures and they had solid beacon lights that were white. The tail moved independent of the fuselage. There was a cockpit windscreen/canopy. It was non-reflective, silver material, that had a very odd indentation. It looked like a cookie sheet with a larger section around it to extend it, like a top hat.”

The witness seemed to think that the object was cloaking itself.
“The electrical interference seemed to pick up. It disturbed another one just like it in formation next to it and I could see an illusion effect and then nothing as the cloak reengaged and they were gone. There was an inaudible, pulse-like concussion as well. I said, ‘holy (blank)’ and it went over the microphone to the drive-thru guy, and he said, ‘hold on.’ And it definitely changed the electromagnetism around us. Something felt off. The air was empty. It felt like a rug had been pulled out from underneath the air. It’s hard to explain. They were about 400 feet above the 118 overpass in Moorpark, California. I swear by this statement and its truth. The metal looked old, and was matte-like. It did not pick up light like high gloss paint. I’ve been going through books since I came home. It’s good to know it’s us that has this stuff.”

THE AUTHOR BEGAN HEARING THE SOUND AT NIGHT, BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 10 AND 11 P.M. 'STREET' VIA WWW.SHUTTERSTOCK.COM
In the spring of 2012, en I was living near the coastal village of Sechelt, on British Columbia’s picturesque Sunshine Coast, I began hearing a humming sound, which I thought were float planes.
The noise usually started later at night, between 10 and 11 p.m. My first clue that something unusual was happening came with the realization that the sound didn’t fade away, like plane noises typically do. And the slightest ambient noise – exhaling audibly, even turning my head quickly – caused it to momentarily stop. One night after the sound started I stepped outside the house. Nothing.
I was the only person in the house who could hear it; my family said they didn’t know what I was talking about.
Naturally, I assumed something in the house was the culprit, and I searched for the source in vain. I even ended up cutting the power to the entire house. The sound got louder.
While I couldn’t hear the sound outdoors, I could still hear it in my car at night with the windows closed and the ignition off. I drove for miles in every direction, and it was still there in the background when I stopped the car. I was able to rule out obvious sources: industrial activity, marine traffic, electric substations and highway noise.
When I searched on the internet for “unusual low-frequency humming noise,” I soon realized that others had conducted the same search. I was part of the small fraction of people who can hear what is called the “Worldwide Hum” or, simply, the “Hum.”
The questions motivating me and thousands of others were the same: “What’s causing this? Can it be stopped?”
One Geoscientist’s Theory
The classic description of the Hum is that it sounds like a truck engine idling. For some, it’s a distant rumbling or droning noise. It can start and stop suddenly or wax and wane over time. For others, the Hum is loud, relentless and life-altering.
I eventually came across one of the few serious papers on the topic. It was written in 2004 by geoscientist David Deming (who’s also a Hum hearer).
Deming began by describing the standard history: The Hum was first documented in the late 1960s, around Bristol, England. It first appeared in the United States in the late 1980s, in Taos, New Mexico.
He then examined the competing hypotheses for the source of the Hum. Many have pointed to the electric grid or cellphone towers. But this theory is dismissed on two grounds: cellphones didn’t exist in the 1960s, and the frequency emitted by both cell towers and the electric grid can be easily blocked by metal enclosures.
He wondered whether mass hysteria was to blame, a psychological phenomenon in which rumor and “collective delusions” lead to the appearance of physical ailments for which there’s no medical explanation. The fact that so many people have researched the Hum on their own, using a search engine – rather than hearing about it from some other person – moves the conversation away from delusion and hysteria spread by word of mouth.
Some have dismissed cellphone towers as a potential source.
Deming looked at the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP), an isolated military compound in Alaska that uses radio waves to study outer space and for testing advanced communication techniques – and a favorite focus of conspiracy theorists, who have accused the facility of acts ranging from mind control to weather control. He studied the possibility of otoacoustic emissions, which are naturally occurring sounds caused by the vibration of hair cells in the ear.
Deming eventually fingered Very Low Frequency (VLF) radio waves (between 3 kHz and 30 kHz) as the most likely culprit. The world’s military powers use massive land-based and airborne transmitters on these frequencies in order to communicate with submerged submarines. Radio waves at these frequencies can penetrate up to a solid inch of aluminum.
In the paper, Deming proposes a simple and elegant experiment for testing this hypothesis. Hum hearers randomly enter three identical-looking boxes. The first box blocks VLF radio signals, the second box is an anechoic (soundproof) chamber and the third box is the control.
He left the experiment for others to pursue, and while there are some practical difficulties with the design, Deming’s overall concept has motivated the experiments I am currently conducting.
A Disciplined Inquiry Begins
A plethora of pseudoscience and wild conspiracy theories has the potential to drown out the serious work in this area. I’ve encountered seemingly serious people who have argued that the Hum is caused by tunneling under the earth, the electronic targeting of specific individuals, aliens and mating fish.
Given the need for disciplined inquiry into the phenomenon, in late 2012 I started The World Hum Map and Database Project. The database gathers, documents and maps detailed and anonymous information from people who can hear the Hum. It provides raw data for research in a strictly moderated and serious forum for research and commentary, while providing a sense of community for people whose lives have been negatively affected by the Hum.
Most people have some experience with how disruptive some types of noises can be, which is why there are often noise ordinances in many cities and towns, especially at night. There are many sufferers who dread the nighttime because of how loud and relentless the Hum can be. The Hum database is replete with descriptions of desperate people who have been tormented by the noise for years. The phrase “driving me crazy” is all too common. (I feel fortunate that, in my case, the Hum is more of a curiosity than it is an irritant.)
The project also aims to validate and normalize the phenomenon by discussing it alongside other widely reported auditory phenomena, such as tinnitus, a relatively common medical condition that causes people to hear high-pitched squealing tones. Those who experience tinnitus and also the Hum report the two as being completely different in character.
The latest update of the Hum Map, from June 6, presents roughly 10,000 map and data points, and we’ve already made some notable findings.
For example, we’ve found that the mean and median age of Hum hearers is 40.5 years, and 55 percent of hearers are men. This goes against the widely repeated theory that the Hum mainly affects middle-aged and older women.
Interestingly, there are eight times as many ambidextrous people among hearers as there are in the general population. As more data are collected from Hum hearers, I hope that specialists in demographics and inferential statistics will be able to generate more detailed results.
The Goals Of The Research
The historical record of the Hum is crucial, because if the current version as narrated by Deming is correct, many theories can immediately be ruled out. After all, cellphones and HAARP didn’t exist until decades after the Worldwide Hum was first documented in England in the late 1960s. I currently have a researcher digging into the Times of London digital archive to search for mentions of the Hum going back to the 18th and 19th centuries. If convincing examples are found, then the direction of my research will shift dramatically because all modern technologies could be ruled out.
In my view, there are currently four hypotheses for the source of the world Hum that survive the most superficial scrutiny.
The first hypothesis – argued by Deming and the one I’m currently pursuing – is that the Hum is rooted in Very Low Frequency (VLF) radio transmissions. It’s increasingly accepted now that the human body will sometimes experience electromagnetic (EM) energy and interpret it in a way that creates sounds. This was established for high-frequency EM energy by the American neuroscientist Alan Frey in his infamous “microwave hearing” experiments, which showed that certain radio frequencies can actually be heard as sounds.
Today, there are biophysical models that predict and explain the impact VLF EM energy has on living tissue. I have designed and built a VLF radio blocking box that should be able to test whether VLF radio frequencies are a prerequisite for generating the Hum.
The second hypothesis is that the Hum is the grand accumulation of low-frequency sound and human-generated infrasound (sounds with audio frequencies below roughly 20 Hz and which can be felt more than they can be heard). This includes everything from highway noise to all manner of industrial activity.
The third is that the Hum is a terrestrial or geological phenomenon that generates low-frequency sounds or perceptions of those sounds. For example, there is a well-documented history of animals predicting earthquakes and taking action to save themselves. From an evolutionary perspective, there may be survival value in having members of a population highly sensitive to some types of vibrations. When it comes to the Hum, some humans may have a similar physiological mechanism in place.
The fourth is that the Hum is an internally generated phenomenon, perhaps rooted in a particular anatomical variation, genetic predisposition or the result of toxicity and medication.
The Hum is now the subject of serious media coverage and, increasingly, scientific scrutiny. The overall goal of my project and the people who contribute to it is to find the source of the Hum and, if possible, stop it.
If the Hum is man-made, then my task is to raise public awareness and advocate turning away from the technologies that are causing it. If the source is exogenous and natural, there’s the possibility that there may be no escape from it, apart from masking it with background sounds.
Of course there is the remote possibility that one of the more exotic explanations will prove to be correct. But, as in all science, it seems best to start with what we know and is plausible, as opposed to what we don’t know and is implausible.
Our world is a noisy place. Everywhere we go there is a veritable cacophony of noise pervading our surroundings, ranging from the sound of civilization, with its factories, construction, airplanes, and myriad vehicles with their roaring engines and speaking their language of honks and beeps, to the natural sounds of the wind, animals, and the earth’s various activities. Even in the realm of things we cannot physically hear there is noise, with the atmosphere saturated by all manner of low-frequency sounds both artificial and natural, as well as the countless waves and transmissions that give us our radio, TV shows, satellite information, and cell phone usage. Yet even beyond this there seems to be something more creeping about in the background, some ill-defined and persistent noise that only some can hear and which remains unexplained.
What has come to be mostly referred to as simply “The Hum,” or sometimes “The Worldwide Hum,” is a blanket term for a series of mysterious, inexplicable auditory phenomena that has emerged all across the world, and which typically entails a low frequency, persistent bass droning or rumbling noise, heard both indoors and outdoors and with no readily identifiable source or origin. It has been described as sounding like different things by different people, but a common description is that it sounds rather like an idling truck or industrial fan, and can vary in intensity from a general low bass background grumble to an invasive, ear piercing symphony of noise, depending on the person and location. This hum is most typically reported from rural or sparsely populated areas, but not always, and it is usually most noticeable in the evening hours, although this also depends on the person hearing it.
It is difficult to track down just when the phenomenon started, but it has apparently been around since at least the 1940s, when hundreds of people in the London and Southampton areas of Great Britain complained of a noticeable drone, and probably since much earlier. The 1950s and 1960s also saw the hum become widely publicized in the news and entering the public consciousness with various other reports from all over Great Britain, and in the 1970s there was a veritable media circus over the odd, persistent sound in Bristol, England, where complaints flooded in when many residents reported hearing it. The phenomenon would continue in Great Britain into the 1980s, where it was widely heard by residents in Largs, Scotland, a coastal town about 31 km west of Glasgow.
The Hum made perhaps its most famous debut in North America in 1992, when people in and around the town of Taos, New Mexico, began to report the sound, which has since become known as the “Taos Hum” and is probably the most well-known location for the phenomenon. The Hum also appeared in the United States in Kokomo, Indiana, in 1999, where it seems to have had a particularly potent effect, allegedly causing various negative physical symptoms such as headaches, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and joint pain, to the point that many who heard it purportedly moved away to escape it. An in-depth investigation into the source of the Kokomo Hum by the Board of Public Works and Safety could not determine exactly what caused it. In the years since, the Hum has gone on to be reported from numerous other locations from all over the world, in such far-flung places as Italy, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Mexico, among others, to the point where an attempt to chart the phenomena, called The World Hum Database and Mapping Project, was launched in 2012, containing a huge database of hum reports and locations all over the planet.
The hum phenomenon cannot be heard by everyone, and it has been estimated through studies in the U.S. and Great Britain that only about 2 percent of the population are actually susceptible to it, both male and female and usually those of middle age or older. For those who do hear it, often referred to as “Hummers,” the description of the hum is often very similar, and it is claimed that earplugs do nothing to stop the relentless drone or reduce its volume in any way. Although the description of the sound itself is mostly consistent, the situations in which these people can hear the sound can vary, for instance with some hearing it more often indoors while others are more prone to picking it up outdoors, and some hearing it more at night while others are affected only during the day. The volume and intensity of the Hum can vary between individuals as well, with some only faintly picking it up as an annoying but harmless static of sorts, while for others it can be absolutely blaring and some even reporting feeling it vibrate through their bodies or homes.
For the people who are very sensitive to the noise, it can supposedly be a deeply unsettling, life-altering experience; a nightmare in a sense. It can apparently cause a wealth of symptoms, ranging from ear pain, headaches, nosebleeds, and nausea, to more debilitating problems such as fainting or chronic pain in various parts of the body. It also allegedly alters emotional states, causes memory loss, impaired speech, and diminishes overall energy levels. The Hum has caused people to do drastic things, like sell their homes and move away, quit their jobs, spiral into depression, and in some extreme cases has even driven people to suicide. One sufferer named Hugh Witherington began to hear the Hum upon moving away from his home of London, England, to the quiet countryside of Hertfordshire, and has been continuously terrorized by it ever since, explaining it thus:
It sounded like a lorry had stopped outside my window and left its engine idling. No amount of exposure ever gets me used to it. It stops me from thinking, even now. I cannot accept it.
Another example of a sufferer whose life has been deeply affected by The Hum, 46-year-old Rosemarie Mann, of Romsey, England, claims that she is so plagued by the potent and nonstop noise that it has profoundly changed her life in the worst of ways. She says that it had dragged her down into depression, for which she now takes medication, diminished her will to live, and has strained her marriage. It is something she has to wrestle with every day, and she has said of the harrowing experience:
I can only describe it as a kind of torture. For the first few years I lost sleep, couldn’t concentrate and was unable to do anything. I was constantly in tears, which put a great strain on my husband. It has changed me from an active, creative person to a stifled, angry pessimist. The Hum still has a terrible draining effect. It is the invasiveness and relentlessness of the noise and having no understanding or control of it which makes it so distressing.
There have been numerous theories on what The Hum could be, ranging from the rational to the truly outlandish. One of the simplest explanations that has been offered is that these people are suffering from a fairly common condition called tinnitus, which is a perceived noise or ringing in the ears with no external cause and which can be caused by factors as varied as noise induced deafness, ear infections, head injuries, or mental conditions such as emotional stress or depression. The problem with this is that Hummers are adamant that the noise is produced externally, also saying that it is a much different sound than tinnitus, and furthermore the hum seems to be generally heard in clusters tied to certain locations.
Similar to this theory is that The Hum could be the result of various internal physical or mental causes which are causing some sort of auditory hallucinations, or perhaps it is caused by medication or toxins. The hum has also been speculated to perhaps be the result of sudden noises generated by our own inner ears, called “spontaneous otoacoustic emissions.” It has also been suggested that the hum is merely all in these people’s heads and that it is a combination of over-imagining and mass hysteria or mass delusion fueled by the Internet. In this scenario, these people are just imagining it all, or are having their senses and perceptions colored by what they have read about the mysterious Worldwide Hum.
There is also the widespread idea that The Hum is caused by some mechanical source, such as cooling towers, industrial plants, ventilator fans, generators, and so on. While this may be true in some cases, and has even been shown as such in some instances, in others The Hum has persisted even when such factors were eliminated, and additionally in many cases the sound has not been successfully tracked down to any particular mechanical source. Another manmade potential cause for The Hum put forward has been electrical grids or cell phone towers, but even if these are the origin in some more modern cases, cell towers were not around when the hum phenomenon started taking off. Also, even if the cause is somehow mechanical in nature it still does not explain why only a small percentage of human beings even seem to be affected by the hum, and to varying degrees.
Very Low Frequency (VLF) radio transmissions (between 3 kHz and 30 kHz), could also be the answer to the phenomenon, especially as it has been surmised that the human body can sometimes register electromagnetic waves as actual sounds. It could also be the result of any number of low or ultra-low frequency sounds or infrasound, those just on the threshold of human hearing, either human generated or by natural phenomena such as earthquakes or other seismic activity, and volcanic or tectonic plate activity, as well as pressure waves reverberating across the seafloor. Another natural source that has been proposed is that the sound is caused by the mating calls of certain species of fish, but in most cases any significant drone caused by this requires a boat hull to amplify it, and it has been argued that these sounds on their own would be insufficient to be a convincing candidate. With any of these explanations, we are still faced with the apparent fact that only some people can hear it.
If there is such a mundane cause for The Hum, then it seems fairly clear that whatever it is mostly likely stems from a combination of all of these, depending on the person, place, and the situation, with no one theory fitting every case. Of course with a phenomenon as mysterious and still largely unexplained as The Hum, there are certainly more far-out theories floating around as well. For some The Hum is indicative of a deep dark, government conspiracy complete with secret, shadowy experiments, mind-control devices, and cover-ups. Some have suggested that it is even a secret weapon utilizing focused ultra-low frequency waves and perched upon a satellite, which can beam down to target individuals or groups of people. For others it is the result of someone or something tunneling through the earth. There are also, of course, aliens. Why not? Still others claim that this is just something that originates in forces that currently lie outside of our understanding, but which we may someday fathom.
One of the problems posing an obstacle to coming to any real answers with the Worldwide Hum is that there have only been a handful of people who have ever tried to seriously study it, and those who have claimed to have experienced it are still largely dismissed and thought to be just “hearing things,” even as the number of reports and complaints from such people has been steadily increasing in recent years. Those who have looked into the problem with open eyes have been unable to come to a clear conclusion that can totally explain the breadth of the phenomenon. They simply don’t know what causes it or why it happens. It seems to be for now a strange phenomenon that is doomed to be just an anomaly that we may never fully understand, and that those who hear it will most likely just have to deal with it, to live with the incessant drone echoing through their head, possibly without ever knowing just exactly what it is they are hearing.
What is at the heart of the Worldwide Hum phenomena? Is this the result of artificial or natural frequencies or phenomena that some people are just more inclined to be sensitive to, or maybe some effect that we have yet to come to a clear understanding of? Is it some sort of radio waves or electromagnetic or sonic interference? Is it secret government experiments or weapons, aliens, or something more paranormal in nature? Perhaps at some point we will have more of an idea of what lies behind this strange background noise that seems to permeate some locations throughout the world and unravel its mysteries, but until then it will rumble on with its origin and purpose unknown.
BOER UIT ARIZONA, USA, IN HEFTIGE STRIJD GEWIKKELD MET GRAY ALIENS ( VIDEO )
BOER UIT ARIZONA, USA, IN HEFTIGE STRIJD GEWIKKELD MET GRAY ALIENS ( VIDEO )
Op een grote ranch in Arizona ziet men aliens liever gaan dan komen, want de ervaringen die men daar tot nu toe heeft met deze entiteiten zijn niet echt prettig.
Boer John Edmonds heeft genoeg van deze wezens die zijn dieren aanvallen en verwonden en gaat ze te lijf met een Samoerai zwaard.
Via een lezer (dank!) werden wij opmerkzaam gemaakt op een bijzonder verhaal.
Het begint bij een interview in 2015 van Project Camelot met een boer uit Arizona, John Edmonds.
In dat gesprek claimt John dat zijn ranch in Rainbow Valley waar hij met zijn vrouw woont, is geïnfiltreerd door Gray aliens. Deze vallen zijn dieren aan en richten nog meer ander kwaad ook aan. Edmonds zegt dat hij acht van die Grays heeft gedood door hen te doorboren met een Samoerai zwaard. Wanneer hij ze doorsteekt met dat zwaard, dan verdwijnen ze, dus wordt het een moeilijke zaak om te bewijzen dat hij deze Gray’s heeft gedood. Wel zegt hij te beschikken over hun lichaamsvloeistoffen en heeft deze laten onderzoeken. Daaruit blijkt ontegenzeggelijk dat ze “niet van deze wereld zijn” en niet menselijk.
In de volgende video de hoogtepunten uit dat eerste interview dat in totaal ongeveer twee en een half uur in beslag nam.
Vrij snel na dit interview kwam er een update op de site van Project Camelot met enkele foto’s die zouden zijn genomen op de ranch van Edmonds.
Deze zegt dat degene die de foto’s heeft genomen honderd procent betrouwbaar is en dat de beelden echt zijn. Hij zegt verder niet te weten of deze Gray’s daar echt rondliepen op dat moment of dat het een soort hologrammen waren omdat hij daar op de ranch acht van hen heeft gedood.
Hoe dan ook, de foto’s zijn echt.
Tijdens een ander interview enige tijd later gebeurde er ook iets bijzonders zoals te zien in de volgende korte clip.
John Edmonds zit voor de camera te praten via Skype, terwijl er een Gray om de hoek komt kijken.
Kerry Cassidy van Project Camelot vond het verhaal dermate interessant dat ze besloot om zelf een bezoek te brengen aan de ranch.
Tijdens dat bezoek filmde de crew de volgende UFO boven de ranch.
Een fascinerend verhaal over vortexen, verminkte dieren, het doden van Grays en nog veel meer.
A man claimed to have spotted two large UFOs in the sky above Chelmsford. The unnamed resident allegedly saw the objects over Manor Road where he resides on Monday afternoon, July 17.
According to the witness, the two UFOs were in different shapes, which were first spotted by a group of people outside the city centre. The reporting witness said he saw a small group of passersby looking up in the sky from his garden. He also looked up and saw two large objects in the air.
The UFOs were reportedly black underneath and quite big and high up. They were allegedly kind of rolling over and over in the air.
The reporting witness first thought they were giant balloons, but later realised that they should not move like the UFOs. His second thought was bits of plastic, but the UFOs were moving faster than the wind. He stated that one of the strange objects was a cylinder shape and the other one was longer. He also did not think that they were aeroplanes.
The witness rushed inside to get his camera, but when he came back outside, the UFOs had moved further away, but he still managed to get a few snaps.
The witness added that the two mysterious aerial objects appeared to be nearly linked together as they kept at around the same distance apart the entire time.
The witness watched them moved into the distance towards the cricket ground and lost sight of them.
The Government Cover Up Case: UFO Disabled 10 US Nukes in Silos
The Government Cover Up Case: UFO Disabled 10 US Nukes in Silos
Fifty years of fabricated alien sightings faked cover-ups, and false alien abductions have discredited the aliens in the individuals’ mind, to the extent that when the real ones appear, may be neglected. In fact, the brainwashing activity of the masses was so successful that if an actual alien spacecraft were to come forward, and then hover directly on top of the skies, they would succeed in explaining it as a secret experiment or any other usual objects.
In past times, people were burned at stake for merely believing in the existence of extraterrestrial life. Today, there seems to be less burning at stake, but other than that, nothing has significantly changed. Then, as now, extraterrestrial intelligence remains an obstacle for war-minded humans. It is normal for the US government to take measures in protecting its military activities from all harm.
A former US Air Force captain revealed an extraordinary alien incident allegedly involving the destruction of the nuclear weapons. Captain David D Schindele used to be a Minuteman I intercontinental ballistic missile launch crew commander working in the Minot Air Force Base missile field situated in North Dakota. The incident took place in December 1996 when he was at the launch control facility. He claims that extraterrestrials destroyed ten nuclear missiles, making them useless in the facility. He was in charge of the nuclear weapons. Days after the incident, it was reported that UFOs are seen in the area. Unfortunately, air force officials ordered him to mum about the incident, and beg to erase the incident from his memory.
He admitted that many of his colleagues experienced unearthly incidents at the Minuteman facilities, but they were all instructed to keep silent. He then decided to write a book after hearing similar incident encountered by another missileer. The rationale behind his exposure is the idea that there can be no moral, ethical, or crucial reason to keep the happening a secret from humankind.
His book is available at Amazon.com, and the proceeds will go to the Seattle Chapter of the Air Force Association.

Alaska UFO Encounter
Veteran Japan Airlines 747 Capt. Kenju Terauchi reported a spectacular prolonged encounter over Alaska in 1986. “Most unexpectedly, two space ships stopped in front of our face, shooting off lights,” he said. “The inside cockpit shined brightly and I felt warm in the face.” Despite the Federal Aviation Administration’s determination, that he and his crew were stable, competent and professional, he was grounded for speaking out. Several radar stations in Alaska confirmed the sighting. Captain Terauchi the pilot of the JAL 747 was featured on numerous radio and TV programs and in People Magazine. Within a few months of these events, he was grounded although retained by the airline, apparently for his indiscretion of reporting a UFO, even though he was a senior captain with an excellent flying record.
John Callahan, former division chief of the Accidents and Investigations Branch of the FAA, reported on FAA documentation and subsequent CIA suppression of the Terauchi encounter over Alaska. I and 20 other government and military witnesses at a National Press Club briefing to challenge official secrecy about this subject joined Callahan.
John Callahan states, “I was the Division Chief of the Accidents and Investigations Branch of the FAA in Washington DC for six years. This particular incident started with a phone call from the people in Alaska who said, “Well, it’s that UFO. That was bouncing around the 747 here”…FAA Administrator, Admiral Engen, told me to attend a briefing the next day where the FBI, CIA, President Reagan’s Scientific Study Team, as well as others attended. When we gave the presentation to the Reagan staff, they had all those people swear that this never happened. I have been involved in many cover-ups with the FAA, but they never had me swear it never happened….
For those people who say that if these UFOs existed, they would someday be on radar and that there’d be professionals who would see it, and then I can tell them that back in 1986, there were enough professional people that saw it. I’ve got a videotape. I have the voice tape. And, I have the reports that were filed that will confirm what I’ve been telling you. In 1986, a huge UFO followed Japanese Airlines 747 flight for 31 minutes over the Alaskan skies. The UFO also trailed a United Airlines flight until the flight landed. There was visual confirmation as well as airborne and ground-based radar confirmation.” Thanks to the Disclosure Project
UFO the Greatest Story Ever Denied with Study of Alternative Realities (SOAR)
This stunning film documentary is 1 3/4 hours. The official denial and the ridicule began in 1942 with the Battle of Los Angeles, where a UFO was fired upon by our military that could not bring it down. This excellent Jose Escamilla film brings an end to over sixty years of official denial.
Somewhere in the back of your mind, you’ve always known it was true. Special Features: Trevor James Constable – Critter footage that has never been released for over fifty years that reveals entities that exist in the invisible Ultra-Violet spectrum. UFOs are not at all extraterrestrial spacecraft but animals comparable to giant amoeba or “critters” that “are built of matter of the etheric plane” or “plasmatic” and live in the skies of our planets. This was first proposed as a mere possibility by Charles Fort, but Constable went further by claiming that he had photographed these “sky animals” – flying among the “usual” flying saucers – using infrared film, exposed between dawn and sunrise in high, in “dry locales” that “will frequently objectify invisible objects of various kinds living in and passing through the atmosphere.”

Joe Foster writes, I can tell you a little something about this Disney movie from a personal perspective. I worked for a defense contractor that had one of the astronauts from STS-48 as its President and COO. This company was Air Force centric and was headquarted in Dayton, Ohio.
At minute 21 of the video, there are two short clips showing crew members getting ready to video “objects” viewed from shuttle windows in this now famous STS-48 mission (UFO video). The interesting thing about this particular video is that it corroborates something that was told to me by one of the astronauts in those clips (Col Mark Brown (USAF Ret).
He said, “There were “objects” (multiple) and the sighting(s) took place over a 20minute period”. The astronaut who mentioned this to me was the one with the large camera on his shoulder. He also mentioned that what was shown in the original video was not “frozen condensate droplets caught in the wash of one of the shuttle’s thrusters” (story NASA still clings to ). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Go9J3NbB6z8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUiA2k54_NY
Manta Ray Sounds
Dr. Bruce Cornet has just published another 22 minute video, this time on the various sounds the Manta Ray mystery craft produced during my 11 years of UFO investigation in the Wallkill River Valley between 1992 and 2003. During this field work I recorded on time exposure, video, and audio, with magnetometer readings, 23 sightings, giving me a range of flight patterns and performance capability. One thing is very clear: This craft is a flying projection platform that can produce various types of sounds, change sounds in passing, and travel silently. It can hover and defy gravity. It can project different types of images to different people on the ground, even people standing only three feet apart. That discovery was made during The Experiment, a website describing where the Manta Ray cooperated with John and me to answer my question of why Dr. Ellen Crystall and I were getting time exposures with slight but significant differences in light traces. Our photographs should have been identical.
During that period I was also given three holographic projections coming from a ship in the immediate area: A golden pyramid with a splay of light coming up through it (pyramid means light in middle); a holographic display or a vortex or solar system with binary suns (subject of a History Channel documentary in March 2008); and a green round temple positioned over a corn field with a golden light of another UFO above it (CORN ET). These projections are further proof of the purpose for and design of this craft as a magical flying projection machine, consistent with the investigations and findings of others such as Dr. Jacques Vallee in Messengers of Deception.
Dr. Bruce Cornet has sent some interesting sounds of craft he recorded over New York and New Jersey.
Regarding your audio recordings, C-5 and /or other heavy lifter turbine whine sound harmonics on most there. No fighter jet or afterburner running sounds. Sound of commercial type for last ‘Manta’. Is Interesting, especially the spotter type light rigging. Do any of the nearby bases or airports have a CIA or other experimental/intelligence gathering type unit based at them? And I would get ‘de-tagged’ if I were you. Thanks to White Eagle
From a New Paltz, NY, resident: Then you must be familiar with the underground hangers as well. My uncle worked at Stewart Air Force base from the early 60’s until the early ’80’s. He told me that it was to support Air Force aircraft. I never really knew of too many other people who really knew about this base. I know that as late as the early ’90’s it was a training ground for West Point and I believe the FBI trained there as well, but I always had my suspicions of what they were really doing out there and if those hangers were still in use. I have not spoken with my uncle in years about this place and have not en really thought about it until I saw your web site. Regards, Eagle

An anomaly hunter studying NASA satellite images of Mars believes he may have found a pair of ancient structures on the Red Planet.
In a posting on YouTube which showcases the possible find, UK researcher Joe White highlights an intriguing crater that seems to sport some kind of circular dome-like oddity at its center as well as what appears to be a pyramid just a few hundred feet away.
The oddities were spotted via the Google Mars program which allows users to explore the Red Planet in a manner similar to their popular service that lets users look at areas all over Earth. White notes that the area where the potential structures were found is also a location that may be visited in the future by a Mars rover being sent to the planet as part of a joint mission by ESA and the Russian space agency.
To his credit, while the anomaly hunter argues that the ‘structures’ look artificial, White concedes that similar pronouncements have been proven wrong in the past when higher resolution images revealed that suspicious ‘domes’ inside craters were revealed to be sand dunes.
On that note, skeptics say that the newfound dome and pyramid are simply another case of pareidolia playing tricks on wishful anomaly hunters, albeit this particular case in unique in that White managed to find two ‘structures’ seemingly right next to each other. Source: Daily Mail
Battlebury Hill Crop Circle
This crop glyph at Battlebury Hill is spectacular. Steven Clementson in the U.K. made me aware of this recent development on 5 July. He included an image (attached) showing how this glyph matches the Celtic “shield knot” and the sacred Cosmati Pavements. I would like to add that the loops are like what the craft produced with their lights in 1992-1994. See attached UFO loops, discussed on my Transformation 1992 YouTube video.

There is abundant mention of angels in the Bible, the nature of this revelation is without the same kind of explicit description we often find with other subjects developed in Scripture: Every reference to angels is incidental to some other topic. They are not treated in themselves. God’s revelation never aims at informing us regarding the exact nature of angels. When they are mentioned, it is always in order to inform us further about God, what he does, and how he does it. Though theologians have been cautious in their study of angels we have been bombarded in recent years by what could easily be called Angelmania.
In Newsweek’s article titled “In Search of the Sacred” observed that “20% of Americans have had a revelation from God in the last year, and 13% have seen or sensed the presence of an angel” The bookstores abound with books on angels that claim encounters with angels, but also instruct people on how to contact them. Angels are servants of God and described by the author of Hebrews as, “ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?” Psalm 91:11 states: For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. . So certainly, for those who believe the record of Scripture, we can trust in the Bible’s teaching on angels and the personal accounts of reputable people.”
A good illustration of the latter can be found in an article by Sue Bohlin entitled, “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.” She writes: I was about thirteen years old when I had my first encounter with an angel. I was going upstairs to my room, pulling my entire weight on the handrail, when it suddenly came off in my hand. I fell backwards, head first. Halfway into a terrible fall, I felt a strong hand on my back push me upright. There was nobody there—well, nobody visible!
A friend of mine became a pastor that surprised me based on his previous life. I asked why? He stated, I was swimming and lost my strength and began to drown and slowly sank to the bottom of the lake. As I floated down I saw a great light and strong hands pushed me to the surface much closer to the shore and I was able to live. I’m convinced I drowned, but was chosen to live for a great purpose in my life.
There are sometimes similarities to stories from abductees who report losing consciousness as they enter the craft, but awake in a round white room lying naked on an operating table. Aliens with large black eyes often help the abductees undress. The aliens usually do not speak, but communicate telepathically. They tell the abductee again they will not be hurt and to relax. The aliens flex and touch various parts of the body using small hand held instruments. Next, larger and more sophisticated instruments and machines and scan and probe the body. I know several witnesses who believe that the aliens healed their disease or tumors. Many of the abductees report healing of disease and parts of their body.
The examinations are often painful, traumatic, and embarrassing. The experience is similar to an operation in an American hospital but with greater pain. A comparatively tall alien leader often described as the doctor will touch the head of the abductee and relieve the pain. This may be a method of controlling the abductee.
Preston Dennett reports diphtheria, tuberculosis, polio, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy are just a few of the many diseases cured by both angels and aliens. Nearly every organ and organ system has been cured at one time or another. There are several cases on record in which ETs have cured people of heart problems
As a young girl Alice was very sick and the Doctor told her parents she would be dead by morning. That night, Alice was transported inside a UFO where she saw angels or aliens whom she describes as “angels in white robes with silver belts.” Alice now realizes that her experience matches the typical onboard UFO experience. The next morning her parents came to see her, and she asked for breakfast and was healed. As a child Alice felt she was healed by angels. Inside the UFO, the aliens waved a small “rod-like device” around her body and then made her stand inside a “large blue cylinder.” A blue light was turned on, and then Alice exited the cylinder she was informed she was now cured and ‘cleansed.’” Many people who have been healed also are given the ability to heal others. Alice Haggerty believes she was cured of diphtheria. Thanks to Preston Dennett
To Heal a Friend or Relative
Think, o God, of our friend who is ill, whom we now commend to Your compassionate regard. Comfort him upon his sickbed, and ease his suffering. We beg for deliverance, and submit that no healing is too hard for the Lord, if it be His will. We therefore pray that You bless our friend with Your loving care, renew his strength, and heal what ails him in Your loving name. Thank You, Lord.
2017: The Most Dangerous Year to Poke the Russian Bear
Stephen Cohen, professor emeritus of Russian studies at Princeton and New York Universities, is the go-to American expert on US-Russia relations.
In April, he said we are in “the most dangerous moment in American-Russian relations, at least since the Cuban missile crisis.” In some ways, he went on, it’s worse. Not only is it more complex, but Kennedy wasn’t simultaneously accused of being a Soviet spy.
Cohen writes:
“Imagine, for example, John Kennedy during the Cuban missile crisis. And for the viewers who are not of a certain age, the Kennedy administration was presented—and the evidence, by the way, was presented to us; they showed us the surveillance photos of Soviet missiles in Cuba. There was no doubt what the Soviets had done, putting nuclear missile silos in Cuba. No evidence has been presented today of anything. Imagine if Kennedy had been accused of being a secret Soviet Kremlin agent. He would have been crippled. And the only way he could have proved he wasn’t was to have launched a war against the Soviet Union. And at that time, the option was nuclear war.”
The media circus would be hilarious if it didn’t mean all life on the planet wasn’t at risk of being irrevocably irradiated out of existence.
“You know it’s easy to joke about this, except that we’re at maybe the most dangerous moment in US-Russian relations in my lifetime, and maybe ever. And the reason is that we’re in a new cold war, by whatever name. We have three cold war fronts that are fraught with the possibility of hot war, in the Baltic region where NATO is carrying out an unprecedented military buildup on Russia’s border, in Ukraine where there is a civil and proxy war between Russia and the west, and of course in Syria, where Russian aircraft and American warplanes are flying in the same territory. Anything could happen.” The Russophobes have dug themselves so deep they can’t turn back now. Through egg-colored goggles, everything is proof the Kremlin is holding Uncle Sammy hostage.
Note: I have intimate knowledge of the Cuban crisis and flew fifty miles from Cuba refueling RF 101 reconnaissance aircraft flying at low level over Cuba. Because I had a Top Secret Clearance I was recalled to General Sweeney’s Tactical Air Command Commander’s office to carry the nuclear missile photographs to General LeMay’s office who was the Commander of the entire Air Force. We were closer to World War III than people know. In nuclear war, all men and women are cremated equally.”
Now the future of the world and your life is in the hands of two men, Putin and Trump. What is the point of the news media forcing them into a possible nuclear confrontation?

Filer’s Files #30 – 2017 UFO the Greatest Story Ever - PART II
UFO Sightings in the United States
Arizona Light
Peoria — When I went outside it was at night getting a smoke I saw 4 to 5 yellow orbs on July 20, 2017. I thought it was the moon, but it wasn’t shaped like the moon due to cloud cover like a crescent moon the ufo broke up into four or five orbs. Then it was absorbing the orbs and took off. Thanks to MUFON CMS
California Object
Moorpark – I was in the backyard assembling a BBQ grill and stood up to straightened back and noticed a whitish cylinder shaped object traveling above on June 19, 2017. I grabbed my phone to take pictures; and was able to take a couple pictures straight up as it flew off silently. The object was moving pretty fast for its size on a pretty clear afternoon around 3:30 pm on June 18, 2017.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Colorado Disc
Loveland — We were hiking up at the Devil’s Backbone on July 12, 2017. We were looking for any sort of animals and taking pictures of the scenery in the surrounding area. I did not see or hear the ufo and didn’t realize I had caught it on camera until later. It took only one photo to catch it. The other photos I added to this submission are my attempts to zoom in.
It was a camera phone so the pictures are not the best. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Abduction
Deltona — I have experienced things before, and so have a few of my family members. I am not sure why they come or when they will, but they do. It was a normal night unlike any other on July 5, 2017. I went to bed and awoke to brightness in my room. I grabbed my phone and saw that it was only 4:26 AM. and I wondered why it was so bright in my room since it was only 4:30 AM in the morning but was suddenly so sleepy that all I did was lay back down in bed as if nothing happened and went back to sleep. At least that is what I can remember as if there is something blocking my memory. In the morning I found it strange that I remembered waking up to a bright light, but had done nothing to investigate it. When I showered I noticed three spots in a triangular shape on my upper leg shown. But as usual cannot remember what happened and accept it. All I remember is the powerful light. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Tampa — We were at a friend’s balcony in the afternoon when we saw the UFO on August 11 2014. At first I thought it was something in my eye, but it moved in all directions until I said out loud, what is that? It was dark metallic black cigar in the sky and moved in all directions. It suddenly changed color onto a bright silver color. Maybe it was when the sun was hitting the UFO. It hovered on top of the city for 30 minutes and flew about two miles away/and it started hovering in the other direction. We realized that it was nothing we had ever seen before as fear invaded my body. Then we lost sight of it. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Missouri Orb
I was sitting in my office on June 16, 2017, when one of my employees who was currently on a smoke break told me to come outside. He told me to look up and straight ahead in which I saw one glowing object. He told me there were three but one had disappeared. As soon as he told me that the second object turned its lights back on a started to slowly fly away… as soon as it got above us it disappeared but I continued to snap pictures and got the outline of the object. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Jersey Objects and Metallic Sphere
My brother and I were outside, when we noticed what we thought to be a star in the sky on July 16, 2017. It was a shiny speck. We both ran inside and grabbed my camera, which had a 250x zoom lens with 18 megapixels. We took 4 photos. We went back inside to look at the pictures, and in awe we realized they were shaped oddly and had pipes. It wasn’t a star at all. Thinking it was a UFO, we went back outside to take more pictures and it was already gone.
Salem— I was driving along and witnessed a metallic sphere move through the clouds on July 6,2017and then hover.
I lost sight of the object around the next bend.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Mexico Lights
Las Cruces — The event was on July 5, 2017, and this happened to a good friend of mine and his wife. My friend had fallen asleep on his recliner in the living room. His wife was in their bedroom watching TV and they have a large window behind the head board of their bed. She states she “heard voices” coming from the left side of their house. She ran into the living room, woke up my friend and he went outside to investigate with their basset hound who, started barking like crazy, The dog was running back and forth and kept looking up at the sky. My friend never saw anything and the next day he checked his video, the circular light at the 3 o’clock position is a known street light. The light we want you to investigate is the light at the 9 o’clock position. 25 miles away that is facing towards White Sands Missile Range. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New York Cylinder
Amsterdam – I was riding in a vehicle coming home from a restaurant on July 16, 2017, looking at the sky through the sun roof. We were just leaving the city of Amsterdam. We were driving on Route 5 heading east towards Schenectady. I noticed this black object flying in the sky. It didn’t look like an airplane because it didn’t have wings and it was black. The object was just below the clouds but visible so that meant it had to be huge. The object appeared to be kind of rectangular in shape flying west very slowly. It was going a lot slower than an airplane. I felt excited because I am very interested in space and recorded the object. I took my eyes off it and looked at my Phone and looked back up it had disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Oregon Light
Diamond Lake Lodge — The object was here on July 19, 201, and was silver with shadow from the sun light, and at times emitted a glow. It has been seen with a black or dark craft hovering close by. Then the dark craft darts away after 4 minutes. It appears as a triangle of lights and as a singular orb of light. I have pictures emerging from Crater Lake as well. I’ve been posting daily for over a week Thanks to MUFON CMS
Tennessee Boomerang
Memphis – I was in the Main Historic District, at 12:15PM, taking out the trash on July 16, 2017, I took note of the mostly sunny sky. At first, I thought one of the birds had gone crazy doing aerial acrobats in a relatively small piece of the sky, then realized it was within too small a window of the sky even for a bird to behave this way. Then I realized it wasn’t flapping its wings and realized it was actually much farther away just above the cloud-bases. It was half an inch in size at arm’s length at about 5000-6000 feet altitude. It must’ve been quite large. I saw the first flare of brilliant turquoise-white light, bright even in broad daylight. It repeated within a few seconds.
I retrieved my 12X binoculars and the pitch black silky smooth object rose a 1000 feet. The shape was a rigid flattened V with the wings ending in a blunt 90 degree angles. The light flared again from the nose of the object. There were no notable windows, cockpit, or light source. Note: The turquoise-white light was “flaring” sporadically, every 5 to 20 seconds, so bright that it obscured the view of the craft. The exterior was featureless with no discernible engine, exhaust, seams or wheel wells just a flat V. The object’s cart wheeled and somersaulted all over the place mostly rising, sometimes falling. I observed these continued maneuvers through the binoculars for six minutes. I couldn’t imagine a plane that large doing that without coming to pieces or any person enduring the ride. It was constantly tumbling and estimate its width was 130 feet (+/- 20 feet), with a length of 70% of the width. I ran inside to grab a camera but when I returned, the object was gone. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Virginia Light
National Airport— My 10 year old daughter flying home from her summer vacation with her godmother on July 8, 2017, took pictures of the plane taking off. She was excited to show me the wings of the plane and the pretty clouds she took with her cell phone during her first flight. She didn’t even notice these bizarre lights, but of course, I did. These lights are very weird and there is no logical explanation. Because I was not with her, I cannot answer most of the questions you asked. Thanks to MUFON CMS
West Virginia Lights
Smoot – On July 18, 2017, we were driving on I-64 around 2:15 AM, when we noticed the half crescent moon beginning to turn a bright red-orange color. We were the only cars on the road and the clear night felt eerily silent. Then, a large smokey fog came out from the trees and onto the road. We then began to see eight deer standing alongside the road.
We looked up and saw an object covering the middle of the moon, but it then disappeared. Two minutes later, we saw bright red flashing lights in the sky around the moon for about 40 seconds. Then they flew away into the trees but continued to pop up and flash as I started recording with my phone. The lights went out and I tried to record again, but the camera was frozen and would not focus on anything. I still managed to keep recording as the lights flashed and the object flew around making a/buzzing. My mom and I began to feel scared, strange and confused. We had a feeling it was something extra-terrestrial. The sighting took place for around 20 minutes and followed us from Smoot to Caldwell. It disappeared after we got off the Caldwell exit. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Washington Object
Mt. St. Helen’s— I thought that you might be interested in this photo. I took on July 16, 2017 around 11:45 AM. We were at view point turn off on the way up to the Mt. St. Helen’s observatory. I didn’t realize I captured it until I uploaded my photos to my computer. There weren’t any birds, helicopters or airplanes flying then so I am not sure what it is. It is not something on my lens since the pictures I took before and after don’t have the spot on it. This photo is completely unedited. I didn’t mess with the contrast or anything.
Note: The object could be an insect, but this is speculation. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Australia ‘Lights and Cylinder
Harvey Bay– I went out to the Urangan Pier to take pictures of the water on February 10, 2017.
The UFO appears in just one picture with various colored lights.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Port Macquarie, N.S.W — .Object was first sighted with 90 MM telescope on July 9, 2017. At 2.06 PM to 2.39 PM, it was not visible to the naked eye. The object drifted west for 5 minutes and then east for 20 minutes until it was out of sight. I used a Canon 7D camera with a 1,800 MM lens raw format. The object was fading in and out of visibility and was turning slowly at times. It looked like a possible serpent, similar to Mexico sightings. Your guess on what this object was is as good as mine. It was an unknown object. Correction: This case is from William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com
Canada Object
Oshawa— I thought to share an interesting image taken on July 11, 2017, on a relative clear sky. I took some pictures and reviewed them later and found this strange white anomaly. Later that day after a family dinner outside, we were relaxing as a very low – slow Police helicopter flew around the house three times. It then flew directly over with its front light on and then was gone. Here is the original picture taken along with enhancements. Thanks to Paul Shishis
France Lights
Valensole — On July 7, 2017 at 10 pm Sébastien went into his garden and saw lights in the sky in a southerly direction. Three aligned spheres seemed to move into a cigar shape and rose vertically as if to observe the ground. Sébastien called his friend who saw the lights and went to warn his neighbors and took photos. These neighbors arrived around 10:20 PM and saw the lights reappearing coming from the western horizon. The spheres were independent small red and blue balls maneuvering around. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Germany Lights
Frankfurt –The lights were coming from the left side of us on July 8, 2017. They were moving constantly forward and more up into the sky with blinking different colors. See video. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Greece Lights
Athens — I captured this photo for a birthday party on the of our building’s roof with more than 50 people around me on June 21, 2017. I made several photos with my 85 mm 1, 2 Canon Lens and captured the Parthenon.
I did not see the lights in the dark sky when I took the picture. I viewed the picture and saw the lights in the sky and changed my position to check the lights but they remained. I zoomed in on the picture and I realized the lights on top of Parthenon have shadow like a triangle aircraft. Why can’t we see anything with our eyes but the camera captures the lights? Thanks to MUFON CMS
Peru Disc
Cajamarca — I saw a circular transparent, object in the shape of a disk that emanated a great light that lasted three hours on June 18, 2017. I photographed and recorded it at night, and observed the luminous object at low altitude. It flew silently at great speed and was seen by several people on different days. The first appearance was at 5:40 PM, two days before, then on Father’s Day, a very shiny object was seen static near the sun.
You must look carefully to spot it as it only appears white. With the increase of the camera: zoom, it was possible to see three green, red and yellow lights.
It was not a comet, or a star, or a plane, or a helicopter, or a satellite, or a drone. Some friends and relatives also photographed the objects. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Turkey Lights
Aydin— I’m sorry about my English if there is false grammar please try to understand me ok. The story started on April 3, 2017, at 6.38 am.
I woke up to feed my cats who were making lots of noise but I still have no idea what it was. It was weird and unusual and I checked the time on my TV’s receiver as 6.38 am. I just wanted to give them a little bit of food because I felt tried and just wanted to continue to sleep. Suddenly I found myself looking out the window and saw something of a ball of plasma that moved fast and then moved like feather in the air. My phone was next to me so I took a video and photos at 6.56 am. My fiancé also saw it. I have got lots of video and photos. Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK England Sphere
Poole — While reviewing photographs I found an unexpected object in several photos taken over a short period time on 9th July 2017.
I had no idea that I might find an object of UFO interest. I was photographing the sky at the coast trying to capture early evening sky color transitions. I found a brown egg shaped fuzzy object in a photo. At first I assumed it must be an out of focus cormorant or a bug on the lens. I checked the EXIF data and found it was taken at 1000th of a second. This would not have given me a blurred image of a bird. I also noted that the foreground and distance was in focus. I then checked the photos taken before and after and found two small objects and one much larger that all resembled the original object. They were all placed differently in the sky. This ruled out anything having stuck to the lens. This object does not resemble anything I have witnessed in relation to training exercises, helicopter activity, or troop transportation.

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND Returning To Theaters - And Here's The New Trailer
CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND Returning To Theaters - And Here's The New Trailer

Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind is returning to theaters nearly 40 years to the day it was originally released in 1977. Spielberg's own director's cut of the film was restored with 4k resolution, and will hit theaters this fall.
Here is a new trailer:
The 40th anniversary edition of Close Encounters of the Third Kind is scheduled for a one-week run beginning September 1 in select theaters.
A Finnish research team has taken a step towards the future of food by developing a method for producing food from electricity. If scaling it up proves to be successful, it could be a tool in the fight against world hunger and climate change.
THE ELECTRIC BIOREACTOR FARM
Finnish researchers have created a batch of single-cell protein that is nutritious enough to serve for dinner using a system powered by renewable energy. The entire process requires only electricity, water, carbon dioxide, and microbes. The synthetic food was created as part of the Food From Electricity project, which is a collaboration between Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) and the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland.
After exposing the raw materials to electrolysis in a bioreactor, the process forms a powder that consists of more than 50 percent protein and 25 percent carbohydrates — the texture can also be changed by altering the microbes used in the production.

The next stage, according to Juha-Pekka Pitkänen, principal scientist at VTT, is to optimize the system because, currently, a bioreactor the size of a coffee cup takes around two weeks to produce one gram of the protein. Pitkänen said in a LUT press release, “We are currently focusing on developing the technology: reactor concepts, technology, improving efficiency, and controlling the process.”
He predicted that it would take about a decade before a more efficient incarnation of the system would be widely available — “Maybe 10 years is a realistic timeframe for reaching commercial capacity, in terms of the necessary legislation and process technology.”
A WORLD WITHOUT HUNGER
The potential impact of food produced using electricity and other widely available raw materials is enormous. Currently, there are two main ways that it could be used.
First, as a means of feeding starving people and providing a source of food in areas that are not suited to agricultural production. Pitkänen said that, in the future, “the technology can be transported to, for instance, deserts and other areas facing famine,” providing a source of cheap and nutritious food to those who need it most.
The machine also works independently of environmental factors, meaning that it could feed people consistently — Jero Ahola, a Professor at LUT, said in the press release that it “does not require a location with the conditions for agriculture, such as the right temperature, humidity or a certain soil type.”
Second, as a means of decreasing global emissions by reducing the demand for food livestock and the crops necessary to feed them. Currently, the meat industry accounts for between 14 and 18 percent of global emissions of greenhouse gases, as well as taking up swarths of land that could be applied for other ends.
The food from electricity project could decrease the amount of unsustainable farming needed to fill our bellies as it provides us with a smaller, cheaper, and renewable method of getting our nutrients. Other solutions to this problem include lab-grown meat or turning to insect farming, which produces less waste and requires less energy.

‘THEIR SHIPS WERE FAR SUPERIOR TO OURS – BOY, WERE THEY BIG! – NEIL ARMSTRONG [VIDEO]
‘THEIR SHIPS WERE FAR SUPERIOR TO OURS – BOY, WERE THEY BIG! – NEIL ARMSTRONG [VIDEO]
Armstrong: I can’t go into details, except to say that their ships were far superior to ours both in size and technology – Boy, were they big! … And menacing … No, there is no question of a space station.
Is there an occult reason why NASA hasn’t returned to the moon in decades? There are so many mysteries connected with the Apollo missions and the programs’ abrupt end. Many Ufologists have claimed throughout the years that the real reason why NASA decided to end the Apollo program are the numerous structures and alien objects the astronauts found while touching down on the lunar surface.
According to reports, Armstrong stated in an interview with an unnamed professor at a symposium that the Astronauts presence on the moon during the Apollo missions was immediately noticed by advanced alien civilizations who addressed mankind’s visitation to the moon during the Apollo 11 mission upon touchdown. These alleged ‘beings’ immediately revealed themselves occupying lunar space making it very clear mankind was not welcome on the surface of the moon.
Armstrong: It was incredible … of course, we had always known there was a possibility … the fact is, we were warned off. There was never any questions then of a space station or a moon city.
Professor: How do you mean “warned off”?
Armstrong: I can’t go into details, except to say that their ships were far superior to ours both in size and technology – Boy, were they big! … and menacing … No, there is no question of a space station.
Armstrong: Naturally – NASA was committed at that time, and couldn’t risk a panic on earth…. But it really was a quick scoop and back again. (Above Top Secret, p. 186)
Interestingly a video posted on YouTube allegedly recorded in 1969 by Neil Armstrong backs up the story about mankind and their ‘alien’ encounters on the surface of the moon. According to the video posted online, the alleged footage was filmed in 1969 by Neil Armstrong and shows ancient ‘alien’ structures on the surface of the moon. Many people around the globe argue that it isn’t a question anymore whether or not there are mysterious ‘Alien’ structures on the moon. This video, according to many is the ultimate proof.
Armstrong wasn’t the only astronaut to come forward claiming mankind was ‘intercepted’ on the moon.
Dr. Edgar Mitchell, ScD., former NASA astronaut and the 6th man to walk on the moon said: “Read the books, read the lore, start to understand what has really been going on, because there is no doubt that we are being visited. . . . The universe that we live in is much more wondrous, exciting, complex and far-reaching than we were ever able to know up to this point in time. . . . [Mankind has long wondered if we’re] alone in the universe. [But] only in our period do we really have evidence. No, we’re not alone.”
In the hazy atmosphere of Saturn’s moon Titan, scientists have discovered molecules thought to be the building-blocks of the complex organic compounds that make life possible.
The surprise new find from the NASA/ESA Cassini mission means the massive moon is now a key target in the search for primitive alien lifeforms – and, it could help to explain the reactions that allowed first life to emerge on Earth.
These molecules are thought to be a ‘vital stepping-stone’ on the way to more complex molecules, and scientists say their presence at Titan suggests the process previously only known to exist in the interstellar medium may actually be universal.

WHAT CASSINI FOUND
Using the data collected as Cassini flew through the upper atmosphere, at about 950–1300 km (590-807 miles) above the surface, the researchers identified what are known as ‘carbon chain anions.’
And, these are thought to be the building blocks of more complex molecules.
The researchers say the data from Cassini’s plasma spectrometer (CAPS), suggest the carbon chains ‘seeded’ larger molecules at Titan, as they were found to dwindle closer to the moon, while precursors to larger aerosols underwent rapid growth.
Not only does the discovery suggest Titan may contain molecules that drive prebiotic chemistry, but it could also help to explain how life sprung up on Earth, according to ESA.
Titan’s atmosphere has a complex chemical makeup, and is thick with nitrogen and methane, ESA explains.
In the upper atmosphere, these compounds are subjected to energy from sunlight and particles from Saturn’s magnetosphere, spurring chemical reactions between nitrogen, hydrogen, and carbon.
While it’s thought that the large molecules eventually float down to the surface, how the simple molecules at higher altitudes become more complex lower down has largely remained a mystery.
But, in a new study on data from Cassini’s plasma spectrometer (CAPS), scientists discovered a type of negatively charged molecule previously thought unable to exist in Titan’s atmosphere.
These molecules, called anions, are highly reactive, and would quickly combine with the other materials in this environment.

And, these are thought to be the building blocks of more complex molecules.
According to ESA, carbon chain anions may even have been key ingredients in the processes that led to the earliest life forms on Earth.
‘We have made the first unambiguous identification of carbon chain anions in a planet-like atmosphere, which we believe are a vital stepping-stone in the production line of growing bigger, and more complex organic molecules, such as the moon’s large haze particles,’ says Ravi Desai of University College and lead author of the study.

TITAN: EARTH'S 'TOXIC TWIN'
Aside from Earth, Titan is the only place in the solar system known to have rivers, rainfall and seas - and possibly even waterfalls.
Of course, in the case of Titan these are liquid methane rather than water on Earth.
Regular Earth-water, H2O, would be frozen solid on Titan where the surface temperature is -180°C (-292°F).

With its thick atmosphere and organic-rich chemistry, Titan resembles a frozen version of Earth several billion years ago, before life began pumping oxygen into our atmosphere.
Because Titan is smaller than Earth, its gravity does not hold onto its gaseous envelope as tightly, so the atmosphere extends 370 miles (595km) into space.
With Titan's low gravity and dense atmosphere, methane raindrops could grow twice as large as Earth's raindrops.
‘This is a known process in the interstellar medium, but now we’ve seen it in a completely different environment, meaning it could represent a universal process for producing complex organic molecules.
‘The question is, could it also be happening within other nitrogen-methane atmospheres like at Pluto or Triton, or at exoplanets with similar properties.’
The researchers say the data suggest the carbon chains ‘seeded’ larger molecules at Titan, as they were found to dwindle closer to the moon, while precursors to larger aerosols underwent rapid growth.
