We spoke to veteran UFO investigator Dr David Clarke about all the paintings and drawings he uncovered in the UK's real-life 'X Files'.
After a decade of pressuring the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to release some of its 11,000 case reports on UFO sightings in the UK (having filed many FOIA requests and conducted his own investigations into Britain's UFO paperwork) Dr David Clarke's efforts paid off in 2008 when those files were made public, prior to the MoD's UFO desk closing in 2009.
Since World War Two the government had logged – and, at times, investigated – reports of UFOs. In 2009, the MoD claimed that not one UFO sighting it had looked into had been of military or defence interest, and that the effort and resources put into monitoring the reports was no longer deemed worth it. In an about-face from "poacher to game keeper", Clarke was appointed curator for the transfer of these files into the National Archive.
A lecturer in folklore and journalism, Clarke's years of working on Britain's UFO papers led to his new book, UFO Drawings from The National Archives, a beautiful collection of paintings, diagrams and drawings from the archive, complimented by the accounts that came with them. We spoke to Dr Clarke, of Sheffield Hallam University, about the difficulty of being a journalist working on UFOs.
WATCH: The Alien Worshippers
VICE:For those not familiar, what was your route into the world of UFO research?
David Clarke: I got into it as a journalist. Before we had the Freedom of Information Act, they used to release previously secret government documents on New Year's Day – all the documents that were over 30 years old. It used to be a big media event.
Of course, New Year's Day is dead as a doornail for news – nothing going on. I was at The Yorkshire Post and they used to make me look through those released files to find things to run in January. Naturally you are looking for a crazy story, and the UFO files kept coming up. I had an interest in the subject already, having seen Encounters of the Third Kind in the cinema aged ten. From there I went on to reading paper backs about UFOs, the Bermuda Triangle and so on. I had moved on, but got back into that area in the late-90s when The X-Files came out. And then all these files came along, and I needed a niche as a journalist…
Once you started reading the files, was there a particular angle that hooked you, or was it just the childhood interest flooding back?
The thing that intrigued me was that I knew from looking over the released files that there was this mysterious Ministry of Defence department that looked at UFOs! They were looking at the subject for about 60 years and spending quite a bit of public money on it. I wanted to know why. From the mid-90s this stuff was coming out in bits and pieces, up until 2006 or 2007, when they decided to make public all this stuff that had been, until that point, largely secret. The first British government documents on UFOs were actually released to the National Archives in 1986 as part of that 30-year rule. They included the famous memo sent in 1952 by PM Winston Churchill to the Air Ministry that asked: "What's all this stuff about flying saucers? What is the truth?"
They didn't release the secret files in 2008 on a whim. I'd spent a lot of time investigating – speaking with people who had reported sightings, as well as tracking down those I could who were involved in investigating them. From 1998 I was bombarding the government with FOIAs. The more eccentric UFO fans would write to them saying, "We know you are hiding crashed flying saucers, we know the truth!" And of course if you were one of the Ministry people you would just be like, "Please go away."
Image: The National Archives AIR 2-17983
I liked that aspect of the book. Your description of these supposedly hi-tech, top secret government departments, the "Men In Black"… but actually they come across more as harassed, under-resourced people in back rooms under piles of letters about god knows what who eventually effectively said, "Sod it, you can have it all." You definitely dent the glamour surrounding that side of things.
There's that mythic idea of a lavishly funded X-files department that rush around in black suits… it's more like Yes Minister. Or was, as it doesn't exist any more.
It must be very hard to exist in that world for so long as a skeptic, and to balance that with spending time with so many people who believe strongly that they have seen things that can't be explained by earthly means.
It's not easy. I mean, where do I start? There's obviously something there – it's very hard to detach oneself and be completely objective. The first question people usually ask me is, "Do you believe in UFOs?" Which I find very odd. Why ask that? If I wrote a book about the history of Christianity, the first question wouldn't be, "Do you believe in Jesus?", would it?
Image: The National Archives AIR 2-18961
This crosses over to another issue you talk about in the book – that of people's assumptions and associations. You say "UFO" and people think 'aliens'. But of course the vast majority of UFO claims are explained away without getting anywhere near even a suggestion of extraterrestrial causes.
Well, the irony here is that when UFOs first became big, in the late-1940s, it was all about "flying saucers". A flying saucer is explicitly a craft from another world. The American air force came up with the term "UFO" to get away from that association. But that's now come full circle. The MoD actually came up with a new term – UAP, which stands for Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. It avoids the use of the word object, and the associations people have with UFO. They used that from around 2000 onward until they closed the desk.
How does someone who's spent so long looking over this material, of which there's so much, go about selecting the few cases you included in the book? Is the book a shortlist of your favourites, a selection of the best images?
It was a balance. It's an image-led book – an art book – so I had to favour the more visually striking cases. But some of the most interesting cases, or stories, aren't particularly well illustrated. Not everyone did a painting or drawing of what they saw.
Image: The National Archives DEFE 24-1207
In some cases I felt that the less artful illustrations were just as revealing. The style of image, to an extent, tells you something about those making the claim. From the really matter of fact map drawn by a policeman, to the ridiculously elaborate, full-colour illustrations some sent in.
I am glad you think that, and that that's how it comes over. People tend to think of UFOs as just one thing. You can see in the book that there are a zillion things that can be UFOs. Zillions of things that cause people to see what they think are UFOs, and these people are from all sorts of backgrounds. You get the imaginative accounts by people who claim to be in contact with aliens, and you get quite ordinary people who have no interest in the subject at all. That policeman you mentioned was just out checking doors. He felt he should report what he saw, submitted it as a standard police report. He didn't expect anyone to get back to him, and he certainly didn't imagine his report would become public.
Another thing that comes over in the book is the different responses people have to explanations they are given. Some people clearly have no interest in being told anything that deviates from their own view.
But then there are others who very happily accept explanations given. It's impossible to generalise about people who see UFOs. Some do have that will to believe – it's almost a religious thing. They might not be people who go to church, but they still seem to be looking for something – something more in their lives. To them, seeing a thing they don't understand in the sky is akin to a religious experience. And of course it can become an obsession.
The cover of 'UFO Drawings from the National Archives'
How much of the UFO phenomenon is mass hysteria of a sort, driven by popular culture, and how much is innocent interpretation of unexplained sightings?
People have experiences, genuine experiences. But nobody is free from the impact of popular culture. You have people reporting sightings saying, "I have no interest in popular culture, but…" and you're like, "Come off it – you haven't ever seen Thunderbirds, or The X-Files?" Even if people genuinely don't think they are influenced by those things, they may well be. There was a famous psychology experiment where they briefly showed a group of people a picture with a flying object on it, then asked them to draw it again. People drew classic "flying saucers", with windows or flanges or whatever, but that wasn't what they were shown… where was that coming from? It was coming from that stock of sci-fi imagery.
There are cases in the book where detailed accounts of UFO sightings, by seemingly rational people, were conclusively shown to be run of the mill aircraft sightings.
On that psychology side, there's a case of a woman driving at night with her boyfriend in Essex, in the 70s, on the A12, I think. She saw an object overhead – a triangle shape with lots of white lights on it. She was transfixed. They pulled over and thought it was going to land on the car! She said it wasn't a plane, that it had no wings and made no sound. Her father was an RAF Group Captain who reported it officially – a pages-long account of the event and object. This agency DI55 looked into it – they are the real X-Files lot, defence intelligence staff. They got radar records and found that, without any shadow of doubt, what they had seen was an aircraft landing at Stansted airport. They traced it to the time and place.
But even if what she saw was a plane, what she thought she saw, and what she reported, was a UFO. People see ordinary things in extraordinary circumstances, or extraordinary things in ordinary circumstances… both can lead to these sightings.
I once saw an object in the sky that I couldn't explain; it zoomed between two tall buildings. It turned out to be a Tesco carrier bag, but I only knew that because I followed it around the building and saw it land. If I had wanted to believe maybe I would have reported it as a flying saucer.

How many of the reports sent in to the UFO desk actually led to investigations?
Very, very few. But it changed over the years. When the desk was first set up in the Churchill years, it was all taken very, very seriously because people really thought these might have been Soviet spy planes. The Americans had Project Blue Book at that time too. Even then the British version was, as usual, a cut-price version run by air force intelligence, but that was a golden era for UFO investigations in the UK.
Later it was handled by civilians, and it started to attract attention from people like the Aetherius Society, who bombarded them with letters. There were protests outside Whitehall demanding "the truth" as early as 1958.
When the Americans packed it in in the late-60s the British continued to collect and look at these reports. A lot of the earliest, and most thorough, investigations were actually destroyed – as they predated things like freedom of information, public records act and so on. Of course, the fact these were destroyed plays into the hands of the more conspiracy-minded UFO enthusiasts, even though the government destroys stuff all the time.
By the time you get to the 1980s and 90s it's just a constant washing of hands – no one wants anything to do with it. The last time they had a real field investigation team sent out was in the late-1960s.
What is your overriding view of the UFO world, in light of your investigations?
One of the MoD's UFO desk officers I tracked down was an air force psychologist called Alex Cassie. He'd been investigating air crashes and their causes, focusing on why pilots made mistakes they shouldn't. He was drafted into this real life X-Files team investigating flying saucer sightings. When I spoke to him he said he had visited about half a dozen people around 1967, 68, and I distinctly remember what he said to me – he said, "I came to the conclusion that the people who see UFOs are far more interesting than the UFOs themselves." And I came to the same conclusion myself, actually.

Nibiru: How the nonsense Planet X Armageddon and Nasa fake news theories spread globally
Nibiru: How the nonsense Planet X Armageddon and Nasa fake news theories spread globally
Nibiru: Planet X - the end of the world as we know it on September 23, 2017? Probably not CREDIT:GETTY
Nibiru conspiracy theories about the end of the world have been circulating online for more than two decades, with the latest dubious prophecy predicting the apocalypse on September 23, 2017.
Planet X, or Nibiru, refers to a mythological planet in our solar system that will supposedly crash into Earth and wipe out the human race, however it has been consistently dismissed by Nasa and other experts as an internet hoax.
Despite absolutely no scientific evidence to back up the suggestions of a rogue planet getting rapidly closer to Earth, myths about Planet X continue to be perpetuated online.
Of course, this isn't the first time time harbingers of doom have predicted the end of time; Nasa also had to deny the existence of Nibiru in 2012.
Throughout history there have been similar claims, but thankfully none of them so far have been proved correct.
How did conspiracy theories about Planet X start?
Online chatter about Nibiru began back in 1995 when Wisconsin native Nancy Lieder created the alien-conspiracy website ZetaTalk.
Ms Lieder claims to be a conduit for aliens from the Zeta Reticuli star system, 39.17 light years from Earth, who have warned her about the Nibiru catastrophe.
The conspiracy theory hasn’t gone away, with so-called Christian numerologist David Meade claiming Planet X is heading in our direction.
Meade believes October could see thestart The Rapture and a seven-year tribulation period of widescale natural disasters.
Why September 23?
It has been claimed an unusual celestial arrangement mirroring signs from the Bible’s Book of Revelation on September 23 will signal the start of the end of the world.
However, the EarthSky blog notes there will be “nothing unique” about the sun, moon and planets on the date.
“In the past 1,000 years, this same event has happened at least four times already, in 1827, 1483, 1293, and 1056,” explains astronomer Christopher M. Graney.
Haven’t we been here before?

This isn't the first time the apocalypse has been predicted:
1844
American Baptist teacher William Miller first shared publicly his belief in the coming Second Advent of Jesus Christ in 1833, predicting he would return in the year 1843.
The Millerites were his followers and Millerism became a national movement, however when Jesus didn’t arrive, October 22, 1844, became known as the Great Disappointment.
1997
Twenty years ago, 29 members of Heaven’s Gate, a UFO religious millenarian group, committed suicide with the aim of boarding a UFO they believed was hiding behind the Hale-Bopp comet before the supposed end of the world.
2003
Planet X was also supposedly discovered by the ancient Sumerian people and was meant to hit Earth in 2003, but never arrived.
“This catastrophe was initially predicted for May 2003, but when nothing happened the doomsday date was moved forward to December 2012 and linked to the end of one of the cycles in the ancient Mayan calendar at the winter solstice in 2012,” say Nasa.
2011
The end of the world was also supposed to arrive on 21 May 2011, with Christian doomsday prophet Harold Camping predicting the Rapture would begin at 18:00 in each of the world's time zones, wiping out nay-sayers with rolling earthquakes as believers ascended to heaven.
2012
Nasa had to debunk an ancient Maya prophecy theory about the world ending back in 2012.
The Mayan connection “was a misconception from the very beginning,” astrophysicist Dr. John Carlson said at the time.
“The Maya calendar did not end on Dec. 21, 2012, and there were no Maya prophecies foretelling the end of the world on that date."
2015
Chris McCann, leader and founder of the eBible fellowship, said the world would be engulfed and destroyed by a great fire on October 7.
Nasa has definitively dismissed wild theories about Nibiru as pseudoscience, issuing a number of statements denying its existence.
“Various people are ‘predicting’ that world will end on September 23 when another planet collides with Earth,” say Nasa.
“The planet in question, Nibiru, doesn't exist, so there will be no collision. The story of Nibiru has been around for years (as has the 'days of darkness' tale) and is periodically recycled into new apocalyptic fables.”
They add: “Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an internet hoax. There is no factual basis for these claims. If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth … astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist.
“Eris is real, but it is a dwarf planet similar to Pluto that will remain in the outer solar system; the closest it can come to Earth is about 4 billion miles.”
Nasa fake news and the days of darkness tale
A fake news story being widely shared online suggests Nasa has confirmed Earth will experience 15 days of complete darkness in November 2015.
Another fake news video claims that Nasa has found Nibiru and confirmed it is heading straight for us.
Debunking website Snopes explains the “days of darkness” tale is a “bit of fake news lifted from an older viral rumour”
They say that it “had already been around the online block several times before,” adding, “it has long since become an evergreen online hoax — a jape that is typically resurrected a few times a year by dubious websites that simply update the time span for the alleged ‘period of darkness’ and send it winging around the internet again.
What do other experts say?
Nick Pope, who used to investigate UFOs and other mysteries for the Ministry of Defence, says “Nibiru doesn't exist”.
He adds: “The world won't end on September 23. Shame on the people promoting this hoax in the name of evangelical Christianity.”
Mr Pope told The Telegraph: “I'm certain Nibiru doesn't exist because if there really was a rogue planet heading for Earth, due to hit on Saturday, it would be visible to the naked naked eye by now.
“Furthermore, astronomers would have been aware of its presence for years, both through direct observation and through gravitational effects on other planets in the solar system.”
Why are some people so keen to promote this conspiracy?
“The people promoting this prediction seem to be doing so because of religious belief, tenuously linking the recent eclipse with Biblical passages, including one from the Book of Revelations,” Pope says.
“I suspect the reasons include self-publicity and the desire to promote their particular brand of evangelical Christianity.”
Is there anything we should be worried about?
“All this isn't to say that there aren't some existential threats out there, but if people want to worry about something, they should probably worry about North Korean missiles, or about Iran acquiring nuclear weapons, not about Nibiru,” Pope adds.
“There have been countless previous predictions of the end of the world. Self-evidently all these predictions were false. September 23 will pass without incident, just as we safely negotiated all the previous dates that had been put forward as doomsday.”
The disappearance of the UK’s “most spectacular” UFO photo
The disappearance of the UK’s “most spectacular” UFO photo
Hanging on the wall near the British government’s UFO Desk was what one of the men who occupied that desk called “the most spectacular UFO photo ever sent to the Ministry of Defence (MoD).” The photo has since disappeared, but the story of how the picture was obtained, and what it showed, has not.
Nick Pope ran the MoD’s UFO project from 1991 to 1994. When he was first assigned to the position, he was not excited about it. He felt the issue was ridiculous and he was not looking forward to having to deal with a bunch of UFO nuts. However, over the years, Pope found there were credible cases of incredible things, and began to see there was something truly mysterious about the phenomenon. One of the cases that lead him to this conclusion had to do with a photo that was made into a poster that he found hung in the office near his desk when he began working the UFO desk.

“I first came across this story in 1991, when I joined the UFO project,” writes Pope on his website. “A poster-sized enlargement of the best photo was prominently displayed on the office wall.”
“The X-Files first aired in the UK in 1994 and I acquired the same nickname (Spooky) as Fox Mulder, for obvious reasons,” Nick continues. “Mulder famously had his ‘I want to believe’ UFO poster on his office wall and though uncaptioned, I suppose this was my equivalent.”
The photo showed a picture of a large diamond shaped craft with a jet in the background. When he asked about the photo, Pope was told that they had officially determined the image was real. They estimated the craft to have been 25 meters (over 80 feet) in diameter.
However, if asked, they were instructed to answer, “no definite conclusion had been reached regarding the large diamond-shaped object.”
Pope learned that the object had been photographed on August 4, 1990. Two people had been walking near the town of Calvine in Scotland when they spotted the large diamond-shaped object. They described the object as looking metallic. It sat in one position, hovering silently for several minutes before taking off vertically at, as Pope writes, “a massive speed.”
During the sighting, the witnesses also saw a military aircraft that they thought might be a harrier jet, but they were unsure whether the jet was escorting the craft, chasing it, or whether the jet pilot was even aware of the diamond-shaped UFO.
The witnesses had taken several photographs and sent them to the Scottish Daily Record newspaper. The paper contacted the MoD, and the MoD was somehow able to convince the paper to hand over the photographs along with the negatives.
” The photos were then sent to the Defence Intelligence Staff (DIS) who then sent them on to imagery analysts at JARIC (Joint Air Reconnaissance Intelligence Centre). Yet at the time, MoD hadn’t even publicly acknowledged that there was any intelligence interest in UFOs at all,” Pope explains.
“We implied and sometimes stated that we didn’t ‘investigate’ UFOs, but merely ‘examined sightings to see if anything reported was of any defence interest’ – as if the two were somehow different!”
Pope say the MoD was actually very interested in these cases, but often less interested in where the craft came from than what they could learn from it. They had hoped to identify some sort of technology they would be able to appropriate.

Either way, the Calvine UFO photos impressed the UFO desk investigators enough that they hung the poster in the office.
“At one particularly surreal briefing on the UFO phenomenon my DIS opposite number indicated the photo and pointed his finger to the right: ‘It’s not the Americans’, he said, before pointing to the left and saying ‘and it’s not the Russians.’ There was a pause, before he concluded ‘and that only leaves …’ – his voice trailed off and he didn’t complete the sentence, but his finger was pointing directly upwards,” recalls Pope.
The office where the UFO desk was located also housed other non-UFO related projects.
Pope says the reaction of some colleagues who came to visit unaware of the UFO program had amusing reactions to the poster.
Pope writes, “You’d have this surreal moment when they’d stop mid-sentence, stare at it, point and say ‘what the hell’s that?’ – this wasn’t the archetypal distant, blurred UFO photo. This was up close and personal, reach out and you can touch it stuff. ‘I don’t know what it is, but it’s not one of ours’ was our stock answer to the inevitable question.”
Eventually, around 1994, Pope says his superior determined the craft was a secret American aircraft or drone. Pope says they had already asked the U.S. if the craft or something similar of theirs was being tested over the UK, and were told they were not. Pope believes his boss had decided to support a potential cover-up by the Americans and the MoD and removed the poster. It was never to be seen again.
Although Pope has discussed these photographs in the media and has posted an article on his website, no one has come forward to claim they took the photos. Nor has anyone at the Scottish Daily Record come forth to discuss any involvement. The case remains a mystery.
THREE NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN ASTEROIDS JUST MISSED EARTH BY ONLY 120,000 MILES
THREE NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN ASTEROIDS JUST MISSED EARTH BY ONLY 120,000 MILES
During the past week, Earth has been said to have a close shave three times. Astronomers found three asteroids which have never been seen before and they went whizzing past Earth a great deal close
While the three asteroids really did not pose any real threat to Earth, it does happen to be rather unsettling that the biggest out of the three asteroids, with the name of 2017 SQ2, was seen on Monday. This is close to four days after another hunk which was said to be the size of a warehouse passed Earth around 120,000 miles above the heads of people.
The asteroid given the name of 2017 SM2 is said to be around half that size, and this asteroid passed over the Earth on Wednesday morning, and this one was said to be around 188,000 miles over our heads.
The smallest and the closest of the debris from space that has just been found close to Earth is 2017 SR2, and this has been said to be about the same size as a bus. This asteroid was said to have passed by Earth on Wednesday at about 1.30pm PT, and it was just 55,000 miles away from Earth.
MOST ASTEROIDS PASS EARTH AT DISTANCES THAT ARE COMFORTABLE
Of course, there are many asteroids that float around the same region of the Solar System that Earth does, and it seems that now astronomers are finding new debris that goes flying past Earth closer and closer every day. Many of the asteroids have thankfully passed Earth at a distance that is very comfortable and which is said to be several times further away than the Moon is. However, there is the rare time when an asteroid does come closer than the space that is between Earth and the Moon.
While they did not pose any threat to Earth, they are worth noting, and their flying past the Earth has made for a dramatic week for many astronomers. Up to date, a total of 31 asteroids have passed by Earth closer than the Moon during 2017. One of the closest times an asteroid came past us was in April when a rock that was said to be the size of a car came past a great deal closer than most artificial satellites.
One of the closest shaves might be next month when asteroid 2012 TC4 is said to be coming past Earth, and this is about the size of a house, and it may pass Earth at just 5,000 miles on 12 October. NASA is full of confidence that while this is going to be a close call, the asteroid is not going to strike Earth.
However, there may still be a good reason to be concerned about it as in 2013 there was an explosion over Russia caused by an asteroid that had been undetected and collided with the atmosphere of Earth.
AN OBJECT LIKE NOTHING WE'VE SEEN BEFORE HAS BEEN SPOTTED IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM
AN OBJECT LIKE NOTHING WE'VE SEEN BEFORE HAS BEEN SPOTTED IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM
The Hubble Space Telescope is no stranger to finding strange things that defy definition and one more has been added to that list, a binary asteroid spotted by astronomers that is also a comet.
HYBRID ASTEROID SPOTTED IN SOLAR SYSTEM BY ASTRONOMERS AND IT'S STRANGE
ASTRONOMERS WONDER HOW MANY HYBRIDS ARE OUT THERE
Astronomers have found not just one, but two, swirling around each other in a cosmic dance and leaving behind a stream of dust as they go. It is certainly a beautiful example of nature and it does bring about questions that are very interesting concerning just how many hybrids there might be out there.
As part of the Spacewatch program, the binary object was seen first in 2006 and it was given the rather unassuming name of 2006 VW139. However, in 2012 astronomers found that there was something strange about it as the asteroid had characteristics that were comet-like, with one giveaway being the tail that was streaming behind it.
ASTEROID STANDS OUT AS IT IS IN TWO PIECES
There is nothing new about main-belt comets. However, they are not common either. The asteroid is only one of a dozen objects to have ever been found and what makes this one standout is the fact that it is in two pieces.
2006 VW139 is made from two lumps of equal size that are orbiting each other at about 60 miles distance but why it split in half is something of a mystery and left astronomers wanting to take an even closer look. When the twins came closer to the Sun in September last year, NASA made the Hubble Space Telescope capture images that were clearer of the tail and the nucleus and this confirmed signatures of a comet sitting where they do not usually sit.
Jessica Agarwal from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Germany said that they had found indications that were strong for sublimation of water ice thanks to an increase in solar heating, very much in the same way as the comet's tail is created. Researchers believe that 2006 VW139 split apart around 5000 years ago thanks to stress rotation, where a stream of vapor coming off them helped them to move more and more apart.
There is still one question that remains, and this is how common systems such as this are actually in the inner Solar System. Agarwal said that more observational and theoretical work is needed along with the sighting of more objects similar to this one to be able to find an answer to the question. It is hoped that more of the oddball icy asteroids will be seen with technology making advancements, to reveal a great deal more of the beauty along with detail in the rock-studded asteroid belt.

HALIFAX -- The first frantic callers to reach the RCMP were clear: something had crashed in the waters off Shag Harbour, N.S.
It was around 11 p.m. on the night of Oct. 4, 1967. Most witnesses thought it was a doomed aircraft.
Among those who saw the string of flashing lights on that clear, moonless night were three RCMP officers, scores of fishermen and airline pilots flying along the province's rugged southwest coast.

But a series of searches turned up nothing. No wreckage. No bodies. No clues as to what really happened that night 50 years ago.
A Halifax-area man later uncovered a trove of government and police records that would make the Shag Harbour incident Canada's best-documented and most intriguing UFO sighting.
Hundreds of UFO sightings are reported across Canada every year, but none has the paper trail of Shag Harbour.
In a series of RCMP reports and correspondence sent by telex between military officials in Ottawa and Halifax, there are specific references to unidentified flying objects, and no attempts were made to explain away what people were reporting.
Chris Styles, the UFO researcher who dug up those documents, remains baffled by the case.
"To this day, I don't know the absolute answer, but we're still finding things," says Styles, the author of two books about the Shag Harbour incident.
Next week, on the eve of the 50th anniversary, Styles will be the keynote speaker at the start of the three-day Shag Harbour UFO Festival. After 20-plus years of dogged research, he says he has new evidence to share.
It points to an explanation that hardly seems possible, unless you have a sense of what Styles has uncovered so far.
To be sure, the most compelling evidence comes from eyewitnesses like Laurie Wickens, now a 67-year-old former fisherman.
"There was four (lights) in a row, and they were going on and off," says Wickens, at the time a 17-year-old driving home to Shag Harbour with a friend and three young women. "One would come on, then two, three and four -- and they'd all be off for a second and come back on again."
Sure he was about to witness an airline disaster, Wickens found a phone booth and called the local RCMP detachment. Questions were asked about his sobriety. But he wasn't drunk, and he was sure about what he saw.
Several other people called the Mounties that night. They all told same story.
Soon afterwards, Wickens was among a dozen or so people gathered at the water's edge, watching in amazement as a glowing, orange sphere -- about the size of a city bus -- bobbed on the waves about 300 metres from shore.
At 11:20 p.m., it slipped beneath the surface without a sound.
Three of those at the wharf were Mounties. One of them called the Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Halifax. A coast guard cutter was immediately dispatched to conduct a search.
Before the ship arrived, volunteer searchers aboard two fishing boats soon spotted a long trail of bubbling, yellow foam on the calm waters -- but no wreckage.
A squad of Royal Canadian Navy divers later failed to turn up any clues after a three-day scan of the harbour floor, according to official military records.
To this day, Wickens has no idea what he saw.
"All I know is that we saw something, and something came down," he says, adding that he believes the divers pulled something from the water.
"I can't prove it, but in my opinion they found something."
Wickens, now president of the Shag Harbour UFO Society, will take part in a panel discussion Saturday that is expected to include Ralph Loewinger, one of the pilots aboard Pan Am Flight 160, a Boeing 707 cargo aircraft that was at 33,000 feet that same night.
They saw the same row of flashing lights over the Gulf of Maine as they approached to coast of Nova Scotia.
Loewinger and the other crew members never reported their sighting. Their story came to light about six years ago when Styles tracked them down.
"What sets this story apart is that the impact ... was witnessed by several independent and very credible witnesses," says Brock Zinck, a Nova Scotia seafood buyer and vice-president of the Shag Harbour UFO Society.
"Nobody reported a UFO. Everybody reported a plane crash. That gives a boost of credibility to the story."
About 36 hours after the initial sightings, several Defence Department officials signed off on a memo that made it clear authorities had no idea what they were dealing with.
"A preliminary investigation has been carried out by the Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Halifax," the memo says. "It has been determined that this UFO sighting was not caused by a flare, float, aircraft or in fact any known object."
It's worth noting the search at Shag Harbour was conducted during a highly charged period in Canada's history.
The space race was on and so was the Cold War. Russian submarines were known to frequent the East Coast. And the Americans were testing all manner of devices to spy on their communist foes, including crude spy satellites that ejected film canisters at high altitudes.
While the official records provide no explanation for what happened, there are vague clues pointing to another incident about 50 kilometres north, just off the coast of Shelburne.
In his 2001 book, "Dark Object," Styles says he eventually interviewed former military insiders and members of the navy's Fleet Diving Unit, who told him the orange orb spotted in Shag Harbour had submerged under its own power and travelled to a spot on the seabed off Shelburne.
At the time, the area was the location for a top-secret U.S. military base, disguised as an oceanographic institute. The facility used underwater microphones and magnetic detection devices to track enemy submarines, but its true purpose wasn't revealed until the 1980s.
"I interviewed anybody who was still alive," Styles says. "I tracked them down. I was a bulldog with it back then."
In the book, Styles' sources talk about a secret flotilla of American and Canadian ships dispatched to the area. There was speculation about Russian submarines and, yes, extraterrestrial visitors. But there is no hard evidence to back their claims.
But the clues keep coming.
During a recent search of an island off Shag Harbour, Styles says he spotted a military marker that indicated it was placed there by staff from the fake institute in Shelburne, which means the U.S. military snoops had been there at some point.
"I'm not here to make believers," he says. "Some people say I'm a believer, but that's a bit of an exaggeration. I want the real answers."
After thirteen years of some truly epic space exploration, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft ended its career by exploding on the atmosphere of Saturn in a controlled collision. Cassini was responsible for making some of the most groundbreaking discoveries in our solar system including detecting possible life-sustaining conditions on Saturn’s moon Enceladus. Cassini gave us an unprecedented look at Saturn and her moons, giving us a glimpse at what true alien worlds are like.
Rest in pieces, Cassini.
Even in its final moments, Cassini continued to make some startling discoveries. As it approached its final resting place in Saturn’s upper atmosphere, Cassini snapped some photographs of one of Saturn’s most mysterious features, named “Peggy” after the mother-in-law of the scientist who discovered it.
Peggy was one of the last things Cassini ever saw.
Peggy has been described as an odd “glitch” in one of Saturn’s outermost rings. Through a telescope, Peggy appears to be an anomalous bright spot in Saturn’s rings, but up close appears a lot stranger. Saturn’s rings are typically smooth-looking and perfectly circular owing to the planet’s gravity, but Peggy looks like a strange rough or jagged area and measures some 750 miles across.
Peggy from a distance.
Carl Murray of Queen Mary University of London worked on the Cassini project for nearly three decades and was responsible for naming Peggy. Murray was among the first to discover Peggy and says even after all these years, NASA scientists still don’t know what the ‘glitch’ might be:
We obviously wanted to know, ‘Was it real? What is it? Where did it come from? Where is it going?’ We’ve been tracking it almost ever since. We’ve never actually resolved the object. All we can do is track the glitch.
Main theories for what Peggy might be include a dense cloud of dust and debris caught in Saturn’s gravity, or even perhaps a tiny proto moon that hasn’t quite broken free of the planet’s pull yet. For now, Peggy will remains a mystery until the next deep-space probe can get a good look at her.
POLITIE IN ARGENTINÏE OP ZOEK NAAR ALIEN ( VIDEO )
POLITIE IN ARGENTINÏE OP ZOEK NAAR ALIEN ( VIDEO )
Zuid Amerika is het continent bij uitstek voor buitenaardse zaken en dat zeker wanneer de politie een buitenaardse fotografeert.
De plaatselijke media stonden enkele dagen geleden in de Argentijnse stad Corrientes bol van de verhalen over een alien in een lokaal park.
Het begon allemaal op dinsdag 13 september toen een aantal tieners in het Mitre Parque in de Argentijnse stad Corrientes de politie belden omdat ze "een vreemd individu" hadden zien rondsluipen in het park.
Normaal gesproken maakt de politie waarschijnlijk niet zoveel werk van dit soort meldingen, maar in dit geval lag het toch anders. Alsof ze wisten dat ze met iets bijzonders te maken hadden.
De melding werd gedaan in de avond of het begin van de nacht en de volgende ochtend bleek dat het park was afgezet en dat er een aanzienlijke politiemacht op zoek was naar iets.
De reden dat het complete park werd afgezet, is omdat de politie met eigen ogen heeft kunnen zien over wat voor "vreemd figuur" die jong volwassenen hadden gezien.
Niet alleen dat, maar één van de agenten slaagde erin om een opname te maken van wat al snel de alien werd genoemd. Toen de politie dichterbij probeerde te komen vluchtte het weg, sprong vervolgens in het water en was verdwenen.
De foto die door de politie agent in Corrientes werd genomen, liet het volgende zien.
Alhoewel het misschien in eerste instantie wel wat lijkt op een mens zie je toch ook dingen waarbij je gaat denken aan een buitenaards wezen. Zo lijkt de vorm van het hoofd typisch op dat wat past bij een alien. De verhoudingen zijn niet goed in te schatten maar de lengte lijkt ook langer dan die die bij een mens gewoon zijn. En ook de ledematen lijken in een andere verhouding tot het lichaam te staan.
Wat we zeker weten, is dat de foto echt is, omdat deze is vrijgegeven door de politie en ook door een agent is genomen met zijn mobiele telefoon.
Iets dat ook opvalt in de foto is dat het wezen geen kleding schijnt te dragen en dat het over goed ontwikkelde spieren beschikt. Ondanks alle inspanningen van de politie is er verder geen enkel spoor aangetroffen van dit zeer bijzondere figuur.
Volgens plaatselijke radiozenders waren er in de dagen voorafgaand aan de waarneming van deze alien diverse vreemde lichten boven de stad waargenomen. Ook waren er de laatste tijd opvallend veel UFO waarnemingen in Argentinië.
Of dit alles verband houdt met de alien in het park weten we niet, maar wel dat er eerder dit jaar ook een bijzonder incident plaatsvond in de Argentijnse stad Corrientes.
In februari van dit jaar verschenen er beelden van een UFO die achter een helicopter aan zat, of andersom, en ook dat veroorzaakte toen nogal wat ophef.
Kortom, het mysterie in Corrientes van de vreemde objecten in de lucht en ronsluipende aliens in het park zal nog wel even voort duren.
Misschien moeten we maar heel snel wennen aan het feit dat er steeds meer kinderen op aarde worden geboren die voor een deel buitenaards zijn.
Van China tot Mexico, overal worden ze aangetroffen en langzamerhand wordt duidelijk dat deze kinderen hier op aarde zijn met een bepaalde missie.
Zonder dat men het eigenlijk echt merkt, schijnen buitenaardsen toch heel actief te zijn op deze aarde. Niet openlijk waarbij ze duidelijk zijn te herkennen, maar door kinderen die op aarde zijn en afwijken van "normale" kinderen.
De reden dat zij nu op aarde zijn, is om de mensheid te helpen met het ontwaken van wat men noemt buitenaards bewustzijn.
Deze bijzondere kinderen hebben vaak nog herinneringen aan een vorig leven als buitenaardse aan boord van een ruimteschip. Ondanks dat ze nu een menselijke verschijningsvorm hebben, houden ze nog steeds contact met hun kosmische familie, waardoor ze ook op het pad blijven dat ze moeten volgen.
Navolgend een aantal voorbeelden van wat sommige van die kinderen zeggen:
Zoals de 5-jarige Aiden:
"Ik vind het niet erg om door muren te gaan en ik leer meer op de schepen dan op school. Ze komen alleen 's nachts, ze zweven, ze lopen niet, er zijn ook blauwe, zoals die ik in mijn hoofd heb gezien".
Of Jena van 8:
"Soms krijg ik hoofdpijn, mijn hoofd is zo klein. Ik kan het niet altijd zo snel opnemen. Het is alsof er kennisbommen op mijn hoofd worden gegooid".
Een volwassen sterrenkind:
"Het herinneren aan wat ik hiervoor deed, is zoals het herinneren van een droom. Het betekent niet dat het niet echt was, maar dat het mechanische gedachteproces buiten het normale bewuste denken ligt. Het ligt aan de uiterste rand van mijn verstand, je moet alleen die rand vinden en dan verder gaan".
De volgende tekening werd door de moeder van een 2-jarig meisje in Australië gevonden in haar slaapkamer. Toen de moeder vroeg wat dat was, antwoordde het kind: "Dit was de dame die vannacht in mijn slaapkamer was en mij mee naar boven nam, ver, ver naar boven en toen hebben we wat gegeten".
Algemene kenmerken van sterrenkinderen:
Herinneringen aan het boord van een ruimteschip zijn en onderwezen worden. Herinneringen aan een vorig leven waarbij ze niet menselijk waren Beschikken over informatie die ze niet bewust hebben geleerd. Het gevoel een missie te hebben. Het zich hier niet thuis voelen. Heel intelligent en intuïtieve creativiteit.
Karaktertrekken van een sterrenkind:
Buitengewone mentale en analytische eigenschappen. Direct contact met een hoger bewustzijn. Buitengewone gevoeligheid onder andere omdat drie of meer strengen van hun DNA is geactiveerd ten opzichte van twee bij gewone mensen. Fotografisch geheugen. Non verbale communicatie. Snelle reactie van motorische zenuwcellen. Manipulatie van tijd en ruimte.
Er zijn nieuwe onderzoeken gedaan bij deze kinderen op verschillende locaties. Hieronder een aantal locaties met de daar geconstateerde resultaten.
Sterrenkinderen in het Himalaya gebied:
Vreemd gedrag. Kinderen gebruiken onbekende gebarentaal. Kinderen maken tekeningen van driehoekige objecten die in de lucht vliegen. Kinderen communiceren telepathisch met onzichtbare buitenaardsen.
Sterrenkinderen in Mexico:
Eveneens vreemd gedrag. Velen melden UFO waarnemingen. Hun capaciteit om problemen op te lossen neemt toe en ze zijn meer gedisciplineerd. Ze gebruiken voortdurend een vreemd soort onderlinge gebarentaal.
Er zijn in Mexico City ongeveer 1.000 kinderen die met verschillende lichaamsdelen kunnen "zien". Dit is bijvoorbeeld getest door een kind te blinddoeken en een krant onder haar voet te leggen. Ondanks dat ze schoenen droeg was ze in staat om de koppen in de krant te lezen... met de onderkant van haar voeten
Sterrenkinderen in China:
Heel erg paranormaal begaafd en intuïtief. Sommige kinderen kunnen alleen met hun gedachten bloemknoppen laten opengaan. Ze vertonen telekinetische vaardigheden en andere paranormale gaven zoals het voelen van andermans gedachten (telepathie). De Chinese overheid is erg geïnteresseerd in deze kinderen en er zijn zelfs experimenten gedaan waarbij deze kinderen erin slaagden om voor een draaiende camera een DNA molecuul in een zogenaamde petrischaal te veranderen.
Al het bovenstaande komt ook aardig overheen met het verhaal van de jonge vrouw, Bridget Nielsen, waarover wij eerder schreven, die zegt moeder te zijn van tenminste 10 hybride kinderen.
I WAS TAKEN World’s most famous ‘alien abductee’ Travis Walton slams sceptics – claiming 16 lie detector tests prove his story is TRUE
I WAS TAKEN - World’s most famous ‘alien abductee’ Travis Walton slams sceptics – claiming 16 lie detector tests prove his story is TRUE
Travis, who cops thought had been murdered, believes he was taken into a spacecraft by extra-terrestrials before being returned to earth five days later
EXCLUSIVE
By Emma Parry, Digital US Correspondent in Hulett, Wyoming
THE man involved in one of the most infamous alien abduction cases of all time has hit out at skeptics and non-believers - saying 16 separate lie detector tests - taken by himself and witnesses to the unexplained 1975 incident - prove his story is TRUE.
Travis Walton, disappeared without a trace after he and the crew of loggers he worked with claimed to have seen a huge UFO in the forest they were working in.
JOHN CHAPPLE
Travis believes he was taken aboard an alien spacecraft for five days
Originally crew members were suspected of murder but Travis reappeared five days later saying he had been taken into a space craft by alien creatures.
The dad-of-four says he has spent the past 40 year defending himself against those trying to discredit him - and has even written a book debunking every alternate theory to what happened to him.
The 64-year-old, who says the incident is still “fresh in his mind’, told the Sun Online it was important to share his story because the public have a right to “know what's out there”.
Travis, a logger in the mountains of Arizona, was leaving work on November 5, 1975, with five crew members in a truck when the alleged incident took place.
They saw some glimmers of light through the trees – and pulled up, thinking it was a fire.
“When we pulled up into the light where we had straight view – it was unmistakable I yelled stop and one of the guys in the back said it’s a spaceship or a flying saucer it was less than 100 feet away," Travis said.

TRAVIS WALTON
Travis was a logger in Arizona when the bizarre incident took place
“It was a clearly defined metallic disc outlined against the sky and fantastic in the grandeur of it.
“All the guys in the crew – as frightening as it was – also describe it as being beautiful it was so perfect.
“I got out as soon as Mike who was driving stopped and I left the door open and went towards it.
“It was just an impulse I thought it would be gone by the time I got close. It was immediately alarming to the other guys and the closer I got they were yelling at me to get back in the truck.
"Later they said it looked like I was in a trance but looking at them it seemed like they were in a trance too.”
TRAVIS WALTON
The incident took place in the Sitgreaves National Forest near Snowflake, Arizona
The spaceship began to make loud noises and move so Travis dived for cover behind a log.
He then tried to stand up and run away but was hit by a strong "force" and was thrown into the air.
“When it hit me it was a stunning force. I did not see this blast of energy but the men in the crew gave a statement to the sheriff’s department and said it looked like a long blue flame – others compared it to stepping on a landmine or grenade because it threw me through the air.
"They were immediately certain it killed me.”
TRAVIS WALTON
Crew members described Travis being knocked to the ground by a blue light or laser beam
Fearing for their lives – and thinking Travis was dead – the rest of the crew fled to get help.
A huge search party involving the sheriff department, helicopters, ATVs and men on horseback - could not find any trace of Travis.
Meanwhile Travis’s account of what he remembers next is even more bizarre.
TRAVIS WALTON
The 'aliens' were described as having big eyes and huge heads
He says he awoke from consciousness on a spaceship surrounded by small creatures he believes were aliens.
“It was very blurry and I had some double vision but I could see the outline of these forms around me I thought they were doctors but when my vision got clearer and I could see these were not doctors - I just flipped out," he said.
“The one that was closest to me - I tried to hit it away - but I felt like I could hardly move my arm
TRAVIS WALTON
Travis said the aliens' stares gave him nightmares
"It was more of a push than a hit because I was so weakened but the creature felt soft and lighter than I expected. It fell back into one that was standing near it.
"I backed away and bumped up against a shelf and looked around and saw an array of tools or instruments and I very quickly just grabbed one and started flailing at them.
"They stopped and stood there staring at me and that stare was in my nightmares for many years after that. I couldn’t tolerate that stare."
Travis says he managed to escape through a door and into a narrow passageway then into another room with control panel in it.
A human being dressed in what looked like a space helmet then appeared and took him to a separate room where he was put on a table and given a mask which rendered him unconscious.
TRAVIS WALTON
Crew members all passed lie detector tests confirming what they saw
The next thing he knew he was waking up on the road about 15 miles from where he disappeared just outside the nearest town of Snowflake, Arizona.
Travis, who had no idea he had been gone for five days, managed to walk into town where everyone who saw him described him as looking “devastated” and “shell shocked”.
But then the battle to get people to believe his story began - and Travis was thrust into the world's spotlight.
Travis's wrote a book about his experiences called Fire In The Sky which was later turned into a movie of the same name.
JOHN CHAPPLE
Travis says he's faced a battle to be believed for the past 40 years
Travis said: "From the beginning it was a battle against people trying to explain it away - the locals didn’t want to believe it, the sheriff didn’t want to believe it - you know he thought it was a murder then a drug hallucination.
"I had a whole battery of psychiatric tests and there was nothing wrong in that department, drug tests proved there was nothing in my system."
And over 40 years later Travis stands by his story – and has taken five separate lie detector tests to prove it is true – while witnesses and crew members have taken a total of 11 polygraph tests.
TRAVIS WALTON
Travis believes he is not the only one who has been taken by aliens
Experts believe there is a million to one chance of there being any mistakes in this number of passed tests.
Speaking at the Devil's Tower UFO rendezvous in Hulett, Wyoming, Travis said: "I decided to break my silence. I started refuted these things that people have been saying about me and my story.
"I took each and every theory the sceptics came up with and just blew them out of the water with facts.
"I am certain I’m not the only one who has been taken - this is absolutely real and it’s important that the general public come to a gradual understanding of that.
"I’m not trying to shock or amaze or frighten anyone - on the contrary - in relating how frightened I was I don’t want anyone to share that fear.
TRAVIS WALTON
Travis shared his story at the Devil's Tower UFO Rendezvous
"I think it’s important for them to realize what happened with me 45 years ago – it was not even an abduction.
"I entertained that term for a while because that’s what other people called it but now I’d say it was more of an ambulance call – that I was injured in a way that would have been fatal and the aliens had the technology available to help me."

Investigator searches for evidence of UFOs: NT News supplies it
PHILLIPPA BUTT and JOE HILDEBRAND, NT News
HERE in the NT, there are plenty of sightings of UFOs.
In fact, we’ve been called the alien capital of Australia.
Now, a US UFO hunter is investigating possible sightings here and offering $US100,000 ($A124,719) for credible evidence.

James Fox is particularly appealing to government officials who might have evidence but are fearful of going public.
“We’re trying to get government officials to come forward and not say ‘Hey, ET has landed’ but there have been events (witnessed) by extremely credible observers of relatively incredible things and we have yet to explain or be able to explain these and to sort of acknowledge some of these incredible events in an official capacity.”
He first made the $US100,000 offer during a conference in 2013 but none of the material submitted has yet satisfied him.
UFO spotted over Darwin
Now he is publicly announcing the reward to the world during of an Australian speaking tour.
Bayview resident Steve Casanova said he wasn’t convinced aliens were out there, but he couldn’t be sure.
“You do see strange things at night so whether it’s a UFO or not, you never know,” he said.
“I’ve seen strange things up there, lights and such. And clearly the Territory is the place for UFO sightings.”

Fire in the Darwin sky a mystery
A UFO-like object has stumped a local Darwin couple, who were unable to identify the flying object.
Anula residents Steve Lyons and Karen Smith were driving up Gilruth Ave towards Cullen Bay on Father’s Day when Ms Smith spotted the fast-moving object with a fire-red tail in the sky just after 7pm.
Both were unable to identify the object, which didn’t leave a trail and moved quite fast across the sky in a north-westerly direction.
“We thought maybe it was a plane, but if it was a plane we would have been able to see some sort of distinctive plane features,” Ms Smith said.
“There doesn’t appear to be any.
“I’ve never seen a plane with that amount of fire coming out the back of it.”
However, the NT News sought out the expert opinion of local astronomer Geoff Carr to help unravel the mystery.
He busted the conundrum and said it was definitely a plane.
“It’s a plane, it goes over regularly all the time. I watch it regularly, I always try to get it in a picture crossing the moon,” he said.
“No little green men, just pilots and passengers.”
He said the couple may have believed that it was a UFO but said the atmosphere often played tricks on the eyes.
A GROUNDBREAKING DOCUMENTARY EXPOSING THE BIGGEST COVER-UP IN HUMAN HISTORY IS NOW ON NETFLIX
A GROUNDBREAKING DOCUMENTARY EXPOSING THE BIGGEST COVER-UP IN HUMAN HISTORY IS NOW ON NETFLIX
Dr. Steven Greer, MD and founder of The Disclosure Project and The Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI), has been on a mission for decades to shed light on the fact that we’re not alone, that we’ve never been alone, and that an ET presence is currently engaging our planet and the human race.
This topic is so broad that it encompasses nearly every area of human study and endeavour, diving into the black budget world, a world that has no oversight from Congress, as well as science, technology, new energy, history, and much more. It’s a topic when, fully exposed, will definitely ignite a major paradigm shift for the human race.
So far, Dr. Greer has been very successful, having brought forth hundreds of military and political whistleblowers of all ranks, with verified backgrounds, to testify and share their experience in public. To compliment these whistleblowers, thousands upon thousands of page of UFO documents have also been released by dozens of governments.
Earlier in his career, Dr. Greer was also chairman of the Department of Emergency Medicine at Caldwell Memorial Hospital in North Carolina.
The Disclosure Project movement began making noise when a groundbreaking National Press Club Disclosure event brought forth these whistle-blowers. You can view that full conference here. More than 1 billion people worldwide have now listened to the testimony given at this conference, and it received coverage from several mainstream media outlets, as it was just too big to ignore.
Since then, multiple efforts have sprung forth, one being the Citizens Hearing on Disclosure that took place a couple of years ago. It was also held at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, and saw a number of professors, historians, scientists, and high ranking political and military personnel gathered to elaborate on the ongoing reality of the UFO phenomenon to several former congresspeople.
Dr. Greer also released a previous film, titled Sirius, where he revealed having high level meetings within the Pentagon regarding the UFO/extraterrestrial topic. This was verified by Dr. Edgar Mitchell, the Apollo 14 astronaut who accompanied Greer on his meetings.
He’s one of several astronauts to make numerous statements about the extraterrestrial issue.
“Yes there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered. . . . We are not alone in the universe, they have been coming here for a long time. I happen to be privileged enough to be in on the fact that we have been visited on this planet, and the UFO phenomenon is real.” (source) (source) (source)
In Greer’s new film, Unacknowledged, you’ll hear military, government, intelligence, and corporate witnesses present compelling testimony on the existence of extraterrestrial life forms visiting the planet, as well as the reverse engineering of the energy and propulsion systems of these craft. It also goes into the possibility of a “false flag” alien invasion.
This is by far one of the best documentaries out there to bring ANYONE up to speed as to what is happening with the UFO coverup and the implications that come with it. I truly enjoyed what this film had to offer and I believe it will make huge waves in helping to open the general public up to the reality of UFO’s and ET’s.
If you have ever had trouble explaining this phenomenon to skeptics or non believers, this is the film to show them and you simply can’t deny it any longer.
Greer has also authored multiple books and put out multiple DVDs on the subject, and teaches people and hosts groups throughout the world focused on peaceful contact initiatives. They are out there, so why not try to make contact? He also continues to research advanced alternative energy sources that, as you will see in the documentary, go hand in hand with the UFO phenomenon.
This man has done a lot for this movement. Known as “the father of the disclosure,” he is no doubt responsible for the massive wave of information and awareness that’s being created on the subject today.
“There are objects in our atmosphere which are technically miles in advance of anything we can deploy, that we have no means of stopping them coming here … [and] that there is a serious possibility that we are being visited and have been visited for many years by people from outer space, from other civilizations. That it behooves us, in case some of these people in the future or now should turn hostile, to find out who they are, where they come from, and what they want. This should be the subject of rigorous scientific investigation and not the subject of ‘rubbishing’ by tabloid newspapers.”
– Lord Admiral Hill-Norton, former Chief of Defence Staff, 5 Star Admiral of the Royal Navy, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee (source)
By the way, by “unacknowledged,” Greer is referring to Special Access Programs (SAP). From these we have unacknowledged and waived SAPs. These programs do not exist publicly, but they do indeed exist. They are better known as ‘deep black programs.’ A 1997 US Senate report described them as “so sensitive that they are exempt from standard reporting requirements to the Congress.” (source)

FACEBOOKER RECORDS A CRYSTAL CLEAR VIDEO OF MULTIPLE UFOS WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE DESERT IN ARIZONA
FACEBOOKER RECORDS A CRYSTAL CLEAR VIDEO OF MULTIPLE UFOS WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE DESERT IN ARIZONA
That being said, don’t be fooled, there is a tremendous amount of evidence pointing toward the fact that some of these UFOs, whose presence were officially acknowledged within the mainstream using declassified documents and hundreds of high ranking military/political whistle-blowers, are indeed extraterrestrial in origin.
There is ample evidence suggesting that many are ‘ours’ as well.We’ve written about this quite extensively, and if you want to learn more about that and sift through all of the evidence we’ve accumulated over the past 8 years, please visit the exopolitics section of our website here. Another great place to start is with UFO researcher Richard Dolan.
Here’s Morales’ statement on what he experienced from his Facebook post:“As I was driving back to Phoenix this evening, I was a few miles past Parker, AZ when I saw a shooting star with a green hue in the corner of my eye. I kept driving for a few miles and noticed a small orange light far in the distance to my right.
At first I thought that maybe a meteor had hit nearby and set a fire in the desert or possibly a distant antenna light.I didn’t quite think much of it and continued to drive for another three miles. I noticed that the light was gone. I drove another half of a mile and I saw the light appear again. This is when I realized that whatever this was, wasn’t normal.I was about a quarter of a mile from the crossing between Highway 72 and Highway 95 between Parker and Quartzsite, Arizona.
I immediately pulled over and attached my camera to my tripod. To my SW direction, there were six orange-red lights floating around in the horizon. Some of them would dim out and then brighten back up, others just seemed to float and hover away slowly. They seemed to travel in a parallel pattern with a very bright fiery glisten. I took photos and videos and in less than 15 minutes, the mysterious objects vanished without a trace.All of the photographs are timestamped and are not edited whatsoever. The video is slightly cropped for better viewing. Whatever this was, I have never seen anything like this in my life before. Super cool experience.
*UPDATE* 4/11/17 11:22pm
I have noticed that my cameras clock is set 8 minutes ahead. Which means that the time stamps are all 8 minutes ahead. I also saw a video of the same exact thing but from the opposite end in El Centro, CA. That means that whatever this was, it was visible for at least 100 miles.
ABC15 is reporting that the photos were part of the meteor. They were not. The meteor struck about 10 minutes before I pulled over on HWY 95 and got footage of these lights. The difference in lighting you see in the photos is because I was using different settings to get a more visible photo of what they were.”
Below are a few pictures, but you can view the video Timelapse on his Facebook page.
Some Recent Video Footage
Below is some footage from Dr. Steven Greer, founder of The Disclosure Project and the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI). Known to some as the “Father of the Disclosure Movement,” he was instrumental in bringing forth hundreds of military whistleblowers of all ranks, with verified backgrounds, to share their experiences and testify on the UFO/extraterrestrial phenomenon.
He has had high-level meetings within the Pentagon about this issue, and that was confirmed (in his documentary Sirius Disclosure) by Apollo 14 astronaut and the 6th man to walk on the Moon, Dr. Edgar Mitchell.
“Yes there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered. . . . We are not alone in the universe, they have been coming here for a long time. . . . I happen to be privileged enough to be in on the fact that we have been visited on this planet, and the UFO phenomenon is real.”
– Doctor Edgar Mitchell, 6th man to walk on the moon (source)(source)(source)
“Intelligent beings from other star systems have been and are visiting our planet Earth. They are variously referred to as Visitors, Others, Star People, Et’s, etc…They are visiting Earth now; this is not a matter of conjecture or wistful thinking.
– Theodor C. Loder III, Phd, Professor Emeritus of Earth Sciences, University of New Hampshire (source)
When it comes to real footage of UFOs (unidentified flying objects), film from the 1991 NASA STS-48 Discovery Space Shuttle mission definitely ranks as some of the best. This footage is real and well-documented, and has been the subject of rigorous scientific investigation by multiple researchers and institutions. (1)(2)(3)
Very interesting to say the least. Many have called out the official explanation that these are ice particles as bogus, and at the 23 second mark to approximately 35 and beyond, you’ll see why.
Why Are So Many People Interested In UFOs?
The top google searchers every single year always show UFOs and extraterrestrials as a hot topic. Every year, the masses seem to become more and more curious, which is also evident from the fact that the most viewed file in the FBI vault deals with a crashed extraterrestrial spacecraft and bodies. You can access that file and read more about it here.
Perhaps it’s the secrecy around this subject that is really grinding people’s gears and sparking their curiosity. It’s human nature to explore the unknown, and when information is kept from us, there will inevitably be backlash.
“This thing has gotten so highly-classified… it is just impossible to get anything on it. I have no idea who controls the flow of need-to-know because, frankly, I was told in such an emphatic way that it was none of my business that I’ve never tried to make it to be my business since. I have been interested in this subject for a long time and I do know that whatever the Air Force has on the subject is going to remain highly classified.”
– Senator Barry Goldwater, Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee (source)
“Behind the scenes, high ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense.”
Former head of CIA, Roscoe Hillenkoetter, 1960 (source)
Or perhaps, it’s just like NASA astronaut and Princeton physics professor Dr. Brian O’leary said, “there is abundant evidence that we are being contacted, that civilizations have been visiting us for a very long time.” (source)
We are definitely living in one of the most interesting times in human history. The birth of the industrial, scientific and technological/information revolutions brought with them a host of problems. One of these problems, as President Eisenhower, JFK and dozens of other presidents and politicians warned us about in the past, is the fact that a powerful group of people and the corporations they run, headed by the big banks, have taken control over almost every aspect of our lives. Today, many people are waking up to this reality in various ways. One way is, for example, through healthcare and seeing through the manipulation of science by big drug companies. Another is big food, becoming aware of all of the pesticides and harmful ingredients that are added to it. Another realm is politics and false flag terrorism, and seeing through the fact that many soldiers are sent to die for corporate interests and an agenda set out by the financial elite. However, more people are starting to understand our reality and thus making more conscious choices, voting with their dollars.
More and more souls on the plant today desire peace, and that is made clear by all of the humanitarian and activist movements that’ve been unearthed. Not many souls on the planet want to see others suffer, and we have the potential to create a human experience where everybody has their needs met. This is possible, but there are systems put in place to make you think this is not possible because our economy would be completely destroyed. True, it would be, but that would be a necessary step in the re-design of the human experience.
There are those who capitalize off of our enslavement, our 9-5 work schedules, our attention being put towards our own lives, sports and entertainment. We’ve strayed from our natural path of curiosity and exploration because we’re told from a young age that “this is who we are” and that “this is how it is.”
This type of thinking is changing, the anti-war movement is stronger than ever, and it’s clear that if our planet and our countries were really a democracy, things would be a lot different. We are one human race and there are no need for borders.
Based on all of my research, experiences and gut feelings, this massive shift in consciousness that’s occurring in the human population is a primary reason why “they” are coming around more often…
Experts weigh in on what the detection of other life forms might mean to the human race.
or more than a century, from George Melies’ A Trip to the Moon to Stephen Spielberg’s E.T. and Close Encounters to this summer’s blockbuster sequel to Independence Day, mass media, and the general public, have pondered what will happen if we ever came into contact with extraterrestrial life forms. Carl Sagan’s book Contact, and Jodie Foster’s movie of the same name, explores one possible scenario in which a Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) scientist (played by Foster) discovers a signal repeating a sequence of prime numbers originating from star system Vega, the 5th brightest star visible from Earth. Even if Contact’s version of an alien encounter is more likely than that presented in Spielberg’s E.T., the possibilities are worth pondering.
And yet experts believe that the odds of receiving a radio transmission composed of prime numbers or encountering intelligent extraterrestrial life in the near future are “astronomical.” even with Hillary Clinton’s promise that if elected President, she would open up the “X-files” (Area 51).
But the odds may be increasing due to continuing advances in technology and money. At a press conference held in April in New York City, Russian billionaire and Breakthrough Prize co-founder Yuri Milner, along with famed physicist Stephen Hawking, announced Breakthrough Starshot, a 20-year voyage to the Alpha Centauri star system. Should the existence of planets in the Alpha Centauri system be confirmed, Starshot could provide us with the best measurements of an exoplanet atmosphere we could ever hope to get this century. Milner will spend $100 million dollars to fund the project. Facebook’s founder and CEO, Mark Zuckenberg, is on the project’s board of directors.
The goal of NASA’s Kepler Mission was to find terrestrial planets in the habitable zone of stars both near and far where liquid water and possibly life might exist. To date, Kepler has confirmed the existence of 2,337 exoplanets, including 1,284 new planets announced as of this writing. In a press release issued by NASA, chief scientist Ellen Stofan, said, “This announcement more than doubles the number of confirmed planets from Kepler. This gives us hope that somewhere out there, around a star much like ours, we can eventually discover another Earth.”
But what would happen if we discovered life beyond Earth?
Christof Koch, president and chief scientific officer of the Allen Institute for Brain Science, believes most people will be excited to learn that there is intelligent life out there. “For some ‘contact” would be a wish come true and fill us with awe. But for others it would raise concerns. One can’t assume that alien cultures are by definition benevolent,” Koch says. “If we look at the history of our world, lesser civilizations were often destroyed by more advanced ones. Would the same happen to us if we encountered an advanced alien civilization?” Hawking has warned against sending messages out into space for this very reason.
Koch has devoted his life to defining what consciousness is whether it be the internet, robots, animals, etc. Since it is doubtful that our first contact will be with humans from another planet it is important for us to understand what consciousness is so we can better understand what we do discover as we explore space. “The first discovery would probably be bacteria which might excite some scientists but not the general public. Another scenario might be a radio signal whose origin would be questioned. Was it a deliberate signal sent to us or is it random noise that can be explained scientifically? I am not holding my breath for a signal that includes prime numbers,” Koch says.
Mary A. Voytek is the senior scientist and head of NASA’s Astrobiology Program who started Nexus for Exoplanet System Science to search for life on exoplanets. She notes that NASA scientists are currently looking at the most extreme conditions on Earth to better understand what conditions can support life throughout the universe. “If we can determine what makes a habitable planet on Earth it will help guide us to look for conditions in the universe” she says.
Voytek notes that NASA acknowledges that the discovery of life has significance beyond science: “In order to fully understand the societal implications, we must talk to the experts-scholars in sociology and the humanities as well as theologians.”
“When I give lectures about my work ,most people are excited about the possibility of the discovery of extraterrestrial life,” Voytek says. “This is nothing new… The ancient Greek atomists in the fourth century B.C. wrote about it. There is a quote by Democritus that I like to cite. ‘To consider the Earth as the only populated world in infinite space is as absurd as to assert that in an entire field sown with millet only one grain will grow.’”
He agrees that a discovery of something like a radio signal would result in arguments, as well as a fading lack of interest due to time. “It could take decades or even hundreds of years for us to get a response from a signal we send out. For people who are used to instant communication, this will be frustrating,” Vakoch says.
Others think we’ll have a more dramatic experience. Susan Schneider, a professor of philosophy and cognitive science at the University of Connecticut and a fellow of the Center for Theological Inquiry, believes that if we do find intelligent life, it will be most likely be in the form of super-intelligent artificial intelligence. “For some people this would be hard to accept. Discovering a civilization that is no longer biological would be scary for us,” But Schneider is optimistic that most people will find the discovery of benevolent intelligent life exciting. “People are excited by the unknown. And the discovery of a new civilization might have many potential benefits. Perhaps an advanced civilization will share their knowledge with us,” Schneider says.
The artistic concept of Kepler-186f is the result of scientists and artists collaborating to imagine the appearance of these distant worlds.

The Catholic Church has come a long way since the days of Galileo. Pope Francis made headlines when he said he would baptize Martians. Many were surprised at the Pope’s remarks, but the Vatican has been positive about aliens for many years. Father Jose Gabriel Funes, a priest and an astronomer, views aliens as brothers and said the Church has no problem with the idea of intelligent life in the cosmos. Jesuit Brother Guy Consolmagno is the first clergyman to win the Carl Sagan Medal and the current president of the Vatican Observatory Foundation. In a 2014 article in the Christian Post, Consolmagno said “the general public will not be too surprised when life on other planets is eventually discovered, and will react in much the same way it did when news broke in the ’90s that there are other planets orbiting far off stars.”
A similar view is held by Orthodox Jews. In an e-mail to me, Rabbi Ben Tzion Krasnianski, director of Chabad of the Upper East Side of Manhattan, wrote, “Jews believe in other life forms. The universe is populated with infinite amount of them. They are not physical, however, rather they are angels who are spiritual conscious beings that are beyond anything we could imagine. The Talmud says one angel’s mind is the equivalent of a third of the world’s population’s intelligence combined. For us it’s no surprise that we are not alone in the larger universe.”
Vakoch said people must keep in mind that we are only at the beginning of exploration. “We have just started looking. It has only been a few hundred years that we’ve been a technologically advanced society. That’s a very small amount of time in our universe.”

ALLEGED VIDEO OF MASS UFO SIGHTING THAT TOOK PLACE IN PHOENIX 2017
ALLEGED VIDEO OF MASS UFO SIGHTING THAT TOOK PLACE IN PHOENIX 2017
AN INCREDIBLE 30 SECOND VIDEO CLIP SHOWS INTRIGUING SKY ACTION THAT ALLEGEDLY TOOK PLACE ON AUGUST 18TH, 2017 IN THE PHOENIX, ARIZONA AREA. WE’VE BEEN WORKING TO TRACK DOWN THE ORIGINAL POSTING LOCATION OF THE VIDEO BUT HAVE NOT YET BEEN ABLE TO. IF ANYONE KNOWS WHO TOOK THE VIDEO BELOW, PLEASE CONTACT US AS WE’D LOVE TO ASK A FEW QUESTIONS. (UPDATES BELOW)
In this sighting you will see 5 crafts in the sky in a ‘W’ like formation. They then move around the sky and then the video abruptly ends. As a long time explorer and researcher of the UFO phenomenon let me be the first to say “I really want to see the end of this video.”
This is some of the most clear and intriguing footage I have seen, not to say there aren’t a lot of great videos out there, but more so that this video gives a clear example of the stunning sightings that have been taking place over the last 10 years in increased frequencies.
The first question that popped into my mind when I saw this video was “why hasn’t this been reported anywhere else?” Good question. When I looked around I wasn’t able to find any other videos or articles related to this sighting. But, this was also the case with another sighting we were sent back in April of 2017. It also took place in Phoenix and shortly after our article went out, more experiencers of the sighting reported on it. Soon the mainstream news reported on it, but claimed it was just a meteor breaking up and falling through the sky.

This is the thing with UFO sightings; many people see them and don’t record, report or tell anyone about them. I’ve seen a number of sightings in my life that came during CE-5 expeditions I used to do in my hometown years ago. We never brought cameras and thus never had media of it, yet we would often see between 8 and 10 crafts show up each time. We took the time to learn the difference between satellites, planes etc. so we could properly identify what we were seeing. Some of the most stunning sightings I’ve ever had were done during those expeditions, and yet none were recorded or published.
Think within yourself, how many times have you seen something you thought you were certain was a UFO yet never reported or told anyone about it?
Check out the video of the August 18th, 2017 sighting and be sure to read on below to discover why I think the UFO & ET phenomenon is by far one of the most important things happening to humanity right now.
The Importance Of The UFO & ET Phenomenon
I’ve said this many times over and I will say it again: the UFO and ET phenomenon that is rising heavily into humanities focus over the last 10 years is one of the most important things taking place for us as a whole. Why? Because it represents an evolution humanity direly needs, and gratefully, is experiencing.
In 2011 I began exploring in incredible detail a shift that is taking place on our planet. My work in this shift started back in 2009 when I first learned something grand was taking place on this planet and that things were changing rapidly, but it went full force during the filming of the latest documentary I made called CE3: The Shift, which you can watch for free here.
I explored this shift taking place through a scientific, cosmic, ancient cultural and modern events lens to help prove that we are in fact witnessing something we have ever experienced as modern humans on this planet. A big part of this shift relates to humanity opening itself up to a truth that has been hidden from us for decades, one that allows us to realize we are not alone in the universe and one that would change the way we live on our planet entirely. The latter is the reason as to why the UFO and ET phenomenon has been so aggressively covered up.
Imagine for a moment that you are back in the times when humans in what we now call Europe were not aware of humans in what we now call America. Life is being lived and there are sets of traditions, cultures, and ways of doing things that are set. One day, after a very long boat ride Europeans discover the civilizations in America. Suddenly there are a whole new set of humans with different traditions, cultures, and ways of doing things that can now be learned from. Perhaps it could be seen that knowledge for these civilizations has in essence been doubled. This results in changes, evolutions, expansions in ways of doing things and so forth. Now, from a human consciousness point of view it also came with war and fighting, but as explored in the film I made, this is a factor of a primitive level of consciousness, one that we are evolving beyond in our current times. I know how it sounds, watch the film.
Joe Martino during his TEDx talk in NYC. Graph shows how solar cycles affect human consciousness.
Humans are now doing this exact same thing with ET’s. We have been playing amongst each other for thousands of years and we have learned immensely from one another. Just like it was time 60 years ago for us to start interacting deeply with ET’s, it’s even more so now, but we must work past the challenges set before us which are; a deep state controlling information, our ego minds, religious beliefs, and fears.
When we begin to interact with ET’s on a big level we are going to learn and open up to incredible new ideas, in the same way we will share ideas of states of consciousness with other beings. As humans, we often downplay ourselves and believe we are inferior to ET’s. This is of course a very mind and ego based view of ourselves, one that is often reinforced in our society, but it’s simply not true. ET’s do not view u
s in this manner, and unlike we have been told in many movies out there, ET’s are not an evil force waiting to come harvest or kill us. There are many races out there and virtually all are peaceful in nature.
It’s time to start opening up to them, clearing out our minds of fear and disbelief about a topic that is so abundant with evidence and begin to welcome a huge catalyst in an evolution within humanity that will help bring about peace on this planet.
Update 1: I have found an article showing a drone display of UFOs that took place in Austin, Texas in 2017. There is a chance this video footage is from that same night although I have only found 1 article on this so far.
THE EXTRATERRESTRIAL COVER UP HAS MANY HOLES: WE ARE NOT ALONE
THE EXTRATERRESTRIAL COVER UP HAS MANY HOLES: WE ARE NOT ALONE
Today, UFO’s and ET’s are much easier to talk about than ever before. In the mid 1900’s, bringing up the topic would be like directly asking others to publicly call you crazy. But over the years it has become a very popular subject and many appear to be lifting the veil on what is a very elaborate government coverup regarding the existence of UFO’s & Extraterrestrials
Disclosure has happened, it starts with former presidents Truman, Carter, Regan and (the Soviet Unions Gorbachev). I’ve got stacks of generals, including Soviet generals who’ve come out and said UFOs are real. My point is, how many times do senior officials need to come forward and say this is real?
– Army Col John Alexander
The phenomenon being reported is something real and not visionary or fictitious
– US General Nathan Twining
All Apollo and Gemini flights were followed, both at a distance and sometimes also quite closely, by space vehicles of extraterrestrial origin, flying saucers – or UFOs if you want to call them by that name – Maurice Chatelain, Fomer Chief of NASA communication systems
Humanity has been progressing in it’s understanding that it is not the only intelligent life form in our universe. Extraterrestrial life has been confirmed through a variety of different sources as we continue to contemplate the reality behind our space brothers and sisters. High ranking military and political figures have come forth over the past few years sharing their experiences, previously classified files by dozens of governments from all over the world have now made their way into the public domain. Government files indicate objects travelling at high rates of speed that are (sometimes) tracked on military radar performing maneuvers that defy our understanding of physics. When military jets are scrambled, hundreds of air force pilots have described the same thing.
I was thinking that firing at this thing may not be the best idea, I didn’t know what it was but I knew it was not of this Earth. It was not a man made object, they could stop, they could absolutely stand still and they could go mock 10 or more and any time. It was something that we humans know nothing about
– Dr. Milton Torres, rtd. jetfighter pilot us air force
We or at least some of us interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after. It is ironic that the US should be fighting monstrously expensive wars, illegibly to bring democracy to those countries, when it itself can no longer claim to be called a democracy when trillions, and I mean thousands of billions of dollars have been spent on black projects which both congress and the commander in chief have been kept deliberately in the dark
– Paul Hellyer, Former Canadian Defence Minister
Department of Defense personnel recently shared their experiences at the national press club in September 2010. UFOs spotted at nuclear missile sights and tampering with equipment is nothing new. This is a global phenomenon, more evidence presenting itself for us to see that we are not alone.
Apart from released government files, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), National Security Agency (NSA), and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) have also collectively released some of their UFO files in 2011. We now have admittance from the military, governments, and three letter agencies that UFOs are real.
Officers of G2 (Army Intelligence) have discussed the matters of Unidentified Ariel Objects otherwise known as flying discs, flying saucers, and balls of fire. This matter is considered top secret by the intelligence officers of both the army and the air force – 1949 FBI Memo
Several eye-witness, as well as military and government cases have suggested that many different species of extraterrestrials exist in our universe, other universes and other dimensions. All are made up of the same life force that we are made up of, all of us are infinite consciousness, all of us are the same playing out different existences and experiences.
On planet earth, humanity is rapidly waking up to the presence of extraterrestrials and that is why we have seen statements, files and other documentation manifest into our reality. Collectively, as we become more aware of our entire earth experience and what has been occurring, we express our hearts desire for change. As we express our hearts desire for change openly and just be ourselves and come from a place of love, we attract those that have gone through the same process.
Many extraterrestrials are here assisting with our collective desired direction, they help in many ways beyond our understanding. Others have been involved with our governments in technological exchange programs, and some have been involved with the manipulation that has occurred on this planet by the illuminati. It is important to realize that we are one on this planet, the human beings of earth are responsible for changing it, the human beings of earth are responsible for the direction of it. Souls on the planet that have the courage to be themselves and shine their light through their thoughts, actions and reactions, you are having a tremendous effect in raising the earths vibration into a whole new plane of existence.
When it comes down to it, we are all vibrating energy, some vibrate at a higher rate than us and others at a lower rate. Inner peace, love, understanding and acceptance are returning to the planet. Harmony and balance with nature and the realization that we are all interconnected with everything is directly related to the extraterrestrial phenomenon, among other things.
We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects and it would take an Act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity…Anything you can imagine, we already know how to do
– Ben Rich, Former Head of Lockheed Skunkworks
The entities that we did catalogue, were in fact humanoid.
– Sgt Clifford Stone
At no time when the astronauts were in space were they alone: there was a constant surveillance by UFOs
– Astronaut Scott Carpenter
Yes there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered

Columbia Shuttle meets the Black Knight Satellite.( 2014 ) Awesome! (Video)
Columbia Shuttle meets the Black Knight Satellite.( 2014 ) Awesome! (Video)
There are currently more than 100,000 satellites orbiting the Earth, from space junk, to high tech probes transmitting signals back to Earth. But one of these satellites is thought to be of extraterrestrial origin and has been circling our planet, prior to the launch of Sputnik. This mysterious spacecraft is known as the Black Knight satellite, alleged to be of alien provenance and covered up by NASA for more than 60 years.
While most man-made satellites orbit in prograde, due to the ease and fuel efficiency of using the Earth’s natural gravitational pull, the Black Knight is said to orbit in retrograde, adding to its curious nature. But is it actually an alien satellite monitoring our planet, or simply a thermal space blanket like NASA has claimed photo evidence of it to be?
TESLA AND THE BLACK KNIGHT SATELLITE
Recently, a series of fast radio bursts were picked up by Stephen Hawking’s Breakthrough Listen Initiative, which some have speculated could be coming from the technology of an advanced, extraterrestrial species. This wouldn’t be the first time a scientist picked up signals from the cosmos and believed it to be of alien origin. Nearly a century ago, Nikola Tesla claimed to have recorded electrical signals at his laboratory in Colorado Springs that were of intelligent nature.
Tesla had been working on the technology for his Wardenclyffe Tower, when he noticed signals which were not of earthly origin and could be ruled out as being weather-related. He believed the signals were being transmitted from a civilization on Mars, so he developed a device to send signals back out to make contact. Tesla was arguably the most well-versed in radio signal transmission at the time, having pioneered the technology, so it’s hard to imagine that he would have been confused by any earthly interference.
No one knows exactly what those signals were that Tesla picked up, but some believe that it might have been a transmission from the Black Knight satellite. Not long after Tesla’s reception, an amateur radio operator in Norway, named Jørgen Hals recorded transmissions called Long Delayed Echoes, or LDEs. A theory by Stanford professor, Ron Bracewell, proposed that these echoes were the product of an alien satellite picking up radio signals from Earth and rebroadcasting them back, creating a delay of several seconds. Some have speculated that the Black Knight could be this theoretical satellite, known as a Bracewell probe.
In the early 1970s, a man named Duncan Lunan reinterpreted and examined these LDEs, concluding that they were too strong to simply be echoes of radio signals from Earth. Lunan said he translated the signals and, to his surprise found a map of Epsilon Boötis, a binary star in the Boötes system. Although Lunan doesn’t like his interpretation of the LDEs associated with the conspiracy surrounding the Black Knight, there are similarities in the nature of his discovery and its timeliness.
Communications Tower
IS THE BLACK KNIGHT SATELLITE REAL?
In 1954, there were a few news reports claiming that the U.S. Air Force had discovered two satellites orbiting the Earth. With Sputnik, the first man-made satellite, not launching for another three years, the discovery obviously came as a surprise. But the U.S. Air Force was not the only government agency to notice the satellites. The Venezuelan Communications Ministry also noticed their presence a few years later while tracking Sputnik. The ministry noted that these satellites were moving from east to west, orbiting in retrograde. Aside from the fact that there were only a few artificial satellites in orbit at the time, none would have been in retrograde orbit.
In 1954, Donald Keyhoe claimed that a satellite was found to be orbiting Earth. Keyhoe was originally a marine naval aviator who later became the most prominent name in ufology, establishing the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena, or NICAP. Keyhoe’s claim was picked up by the San Francisco Examiner and St. Louis Post Dispatch. According to the articles, Keyhoe said that the Secretary of the Air Force, Harold Talbott, was aware of the satellites and had even witnessed a ‘silvery, disc-shaped object’ in the sky. Though, Talbott dismissed these claims.
Another confounding characteristic of the Black Knight was the fact that it was circling the Earth in polar orbit, a feat not accomplished by man-made satellites until 1960. This type of orbit is typically used for mapping, reconnaissance, and tracking, and often it is done in a sun-synchronous orbit so that each time the satellite passes a particular spot, it is the same time of day. The combination of retrograde and polar orbits makes this type of satellite stick out especially in the late 50s/early 60s when satellite technology was in its nascent phases. And it wasn’t just military entities who photographed an unidentified satellite, but also the Smithsonian Observatory at Harvard as well as the Gruman Aircraft Corporation in New York.
But the story of the Black Knight gets even more bizarre with the French Space Commission’s observation of the satellite while Jacques Vallée was on staff. Despite excitement and intrigue by Vallée and his colleagues, a senior member of his team deleted their imaging of the satellite, for reasons unknown. While Vallée said he believed it was out of embarrassment for the commission’s inability to identify the orbiting object, it was becoming increasingly common for agencies around the world to notice the unidentified satellite, without explanation.
The Black Knight Satellite – wikipedia.com
NASA’S BLACK KNIGHT SATELLITE EXPLANATION
There are several pictures circulating the internet of what is thought to be the Black Knight. These pictures, taken by NASA, are purportedly images of a thermal cover that was dropped during a spacewalk or extra-vehicular activity on the ISS. During this expedition, one astronaut finished his mission early and was asked to cover the space station’s trunnion pins with thermal covers. The astronaut who was asked to complete this as a free-floating task, did not have the cover properly attached to him, losing track of it and letting it float away. When asked later which pin he lost the cover to, he said he could not remember and that he was too upset with himself to think about it. NASA claims that the photographs that most believe are the black knight satellite are simply images of this thermal cover as it floated away from the space station. There is also a video of the astronauts inside the space station filming and photographing the cover as it floats off.
It is entirely possible that NASA’s claims are true. There are plenty of similarities between the thermal cover and the images believed to be the Black Knight. There aren’t however, sufficient explanations of the sightings and documentation of the satellite from the 1950s and 60s by numerous government and scientific agencies.
In 1963, while orbiting Earth, astronaut Gordon Cooper reported seeing a glowing green light ahead of his Mercury 9 module. He reported it to the Australian Space Command, who were able to track it. Oddly enough, when Cooper returned to Earth he was not allowed to talk about the light and it was reported that he had suffered hallucinations from an excess of carbon dioxide in his cabin. Despite NASA’s attempt to explain what Cooper saw with a more mundane explanation, he continued throughout his life to divulge stories that detailed his experiences with UFOs and other unexplained phenomena. He often spoke of attempted government cover-ups regarding UFOs and unexplained activity, so it would come as no surprise that the Black Knight could be real and its origin being withheld from the public.
No doubt we’ve all heard of the legend of Atlantis, the ancient, once great city that was lost when the ocean submerged it.
To this day the legendary city has yet to be found (or proven to have ever existed) yet over the years many other underwater cities have been found, each of them as eerie as they are mind blowing.
1. Port Royal, Jamaica
Once a notorious hub for pirate activity, prostitutes, booze, and raging all-night parties, Port Royal was once branded ‘the most wicked and sinful city in the world’.
That was so until June 1692 when a massive 7.5 earthquake shook the island of Jamaica, sucking Port Royal into the ocean due to it’s unstable foundations and killing over 2,000 of it’s inhabitants. Was this earthquake a fatal natural accident or was it retribution for all the sins committed within the cavity? For hundreds of years people believed the latter.
In the years since then the infamous city, once one of the largest European cities in the New World, has continued to sink and now it lies forty feet below the ocean. The sunken city is a hive for archeological exploration as amazingly many near-perfect artefacts are still being unveiled from the site.
2. The Pyramids of Yonaguni-Jima, Japan
To this day experts still argue over whether the Yonaguni Monument which lies underwater just off the coast of Japan is man made or simply a natural occurrence.
While there is evidence to support the natural theory, looking at the terraced stones and triangular shapes that which make up the pyramid it’s hard to believe such a monument could occur naturally. The pyramid rises a massive 250 feet from the sea floor and is a constant lure for scuba-divers for obvious reasons.
If the structure was manmade, experts suggest it was likely built during the last ice age at roughly 10,000 BCE.
3. Dwarka, Gulf of Cambay, India
The ancient city of Lord Krishna was once thought to be merely a myth but ruins discovered in 2000 seem to be breathing life into the old Indian tale.
The story goes that Lord Krishna had a magnificent city which was made up of 70,000 palaces made of gold, silver, and various other precious metals. The city was prosperous however upon Lord Krishna’s death Dwarka supposedly sank into the sea.
The ruins are situated 131 feet beneath the ocean surface in the bay of modern-day Dwarka, one of the seven oldest cities in India. Acoustic studies have shown the ruins to be amazingly geometric, stunning experts.
Many artefacts have been recovered from the site but perhaps none more important than one which was dated to 7500 BCE, supporting the theory that the ruins may well be the ancient Dwarka.
4. Lion City of Quiandao Lake, China
Hailed as the most spectacular underwater city in the world, China’s Lion City certainly is a marvel.
Built in Eastern Han Dynasty at roughly 25-200 CE and spanning about 62 football fields in area, today Lion City can be found 85-131 feet beneath the surface of Thousand Island Lake, an area that was intentionally flooded in the 1950s to create a dam.
The sculptures that decorate the city rival the beauty of even Alexandria so it’s little wonder that Lion City is now one of China’s most popular tourist destinations.
5. Cleopatra’s Palace, Alexandria, Egypt
Just off the shores of Alexandria lies what is believed to be the palace of Cleopatra, an ancient Egyptian queen. It is believed that the ruins were cast into the sea by an earthquake over 1,500 years ago and lay dormant until recent years.
Along with the royal quarters, archaeologists also believe they have found the temple of Isis alongside them. To date, more than 140 artifacts have been uncovered from the site and experts now believe they have located the tomb of Cleopatra and an ancient museum within the ruins.
Hopefully the ruins will be opened up to divers and tourists in the years to come, allowing us all to have a closer look at the marvel that is Cleopatra’s palace.

NASA's Cassini mission came to a dramatic end last week after two decades in space.
The Cassini orbiter illuminated gigantic storms on Saturn, explored the planet's rings, and revealed potential sources of life in Saturn's moons. The spacecraft deployed the European Space Agency's Huygens probe, which landed on the surface of Saturn's moon Titan in humankind's most distant touchdown to date. The probe beamed back images of Titan's craggy highlands, oily shorelines and steep ravines, lifting the veil on an alien — though in some ways strangely Earth-like — landscape beneath a dense atmosphere.

Cassini and Huygens forever changed the way scientists understand Saturn and its rings and moons. But the real-life scientists named Cassini and Huygens had a much different view of the planet when they were pushing the boundaries of astronomy in the 17th century.
Turning Saturn's ears into a ring
In 1610, Galileo Galilei became the first person to ever set eyes on Saturn through a telescope. Until then, the planet was little more than a flickering light in the sky. But through his rudimentary instrument, with 30x magnification, Galileo was able to see that Saturn had some kind of appendages or "ears" that stuck out from either side of the planet. They did not move like the moons he had discovered around Jupiter.
Galileo would never quite figure out what these "ears" were.
Enter Christiaan Huygens. Born to a well-heeled family at The Hague in the Netherlands in 1629, Huygens became a leading scientist and mathematician of his era. He invented the pendulum clock. He was the first person to theorize that light travels in waves. And from early on in his career, Huygens devoted himself to designing and perfecting telescopes.
Huygens and his brother came up with a way to mechanically grind and polish telescope lenses for greater clarity. On the night of March 25, 1655, Huygens peered through his new 12-foot telescope and looked at Saturn. At the time, he couldn't resolve Saturn's ears, but he did spot a speck of light next to the planet. Over several nights he watched it travel around Saturn, concluding that it was a moon (which would later be known as Titan, Saturn's largest moon).
Two years later, Huygens was finally able to see that Saturn didn't have ears, but rather was surrounded by a ring. He published a short treatise called "De Saturni luna observatio nova," to formally announce the discovery of Titan and to cryptically call dibs on his explanation for Saturn's ears, which he still needed more time to research. He left a clue in the form of an anagram, which (according to the Smithsonian Libraries), if solved, would have read: "It is surrounded by a thin flat ring, nowhere touching, and inclined to the ecliptic."
More moons, more rings
Huygens believed Saturn had just one solid ring. But his theory was undercut a couple decades later, when Giovanni Domenico Cassini made his own observations of the planet.
Cassini was born in 1625 in northwest Italy. He made his way into astronomy via astrology, and early on in his career, he studied Jupiter and the motions of its moons. Heis sometimes credited for discovering Jupiter's Great Red Spot (a centuries-long storm on the gas giant). And his measurements of the discrepancies in the eclipses of Jupiter's moon Io even helped Danish astronomer Ole Römer calculate the speed of light.
In 1668, King Louis XIV of France invited Cassini to join the new French Academy of Sciences. Cassini helped establish the Paris Observatory and it was there that he set his sights on Saturn. Cassini discovered four more moons around Saturn: Iapetus and Rhea in 1671 and 1672, respectively, and Tethys and Dione in 1684. (Scientists now know that Saturn has 62 moons.) Cassini also noticed that Saturn's ring might not be a single, solid object, and in 1675, he described a gap in the rings, now known as the Cassini division. Cassini even speculated that the rings were not solid, but made up of swarms of tiny moonlets too small to see. He wasn't too far off. According to the European Space Agency, scientists today describe the ring particles as pebbles and dust.
