Voor het eerst freon-40 ontdekt op een plek waar zeker geen aliens wonen
Voor het eerst freon-40 ontdekt op een plek waar zeker geen aliens wonen
Caroline Kraaijvanger
De ontdekking suggereert dat het molecuul niet kan helpen in de zoektocht naar buitenaards leven.
Freon-40 is een organohalogeen. Dergelijke stoffen bestaan uit halogenen (‘zoutvormers’) zoals chloor en fluor, die gebonden zijn aan koolstof en soms ook andere elementen. De verbindingen komen op aarde veelvuldig voor en kunnen op twee manieren ontstaan: door biologische processen in tal van organismen – van schimmels tot mensen – en tijdens industriële processen, zoals de productie van medicijnen.
In de interstellaire ruimte Met dat in het achterhoofd is het niet zo gek dat onderzoekers het stofje als een ‘verklikker’ van leven beschouwden: het is zo’n molecuul dat op aarde ontstaat bij de gratie van organismen. En als we het op andere planeten of manen aantreffen, is het een sterke aanwijzing dat daar ook leven is. Een logische redenering. Maar wel eentje die nu de prullenbak in kan. Onderzoekers hebben het molecuul namelijk voor het eerst daadwerkelijk in de interstellaire ruimte aangetroffen. En wel op plekken waar onmogelijk leven kan zijn.
Dubbelster en komeet Met behulp van het Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) en ESA’s kometenjager Rosetta hebben onderzoekers freon-40 ontdekt in het gas rond een jonge dubbelster én een komeet. “De ontdekking van het organohalogeen freon-40 nabij deze jonge, zonachtige sterren kwam als een verrassing,” stelt onderzoeker Edith Fayolle. “We hebben de vorming ervan simpelweg niet voorzien en waren verrast om het in zulke significante concentraties aan te treffen. Het staat nu vast dat deze moleculen zich gemakkelijk kunnen vormen in stellaire kraamkamers, wat nieuwe inzichten oplevert over de chemische evolutie van planetenstelsels, inclusief het onze.”
Op deze afbeelding zie je waar komeet 67P/C-G zich bevond toen Rosetta freon-40 detecteerde. Hetzelfde molecuul is door ALMA dus ook nabij een jonge dubbelster teruggevonden.
Afbeelding: B. Saxton (NRAO / AUI / NSF).
Onderdeel van de oersoep Freon-40 is dus geen goede biomarker (een chemische verbinding die op de aanwezigheid van leven kan wijzen). Maar het molecuul lijkt – afgaand op dit nieuwe onderzoek – wel een belangrijk bestanddeel te zijn van het materiaal waaruit planeten ontstaan. “ALMA’s ontdekking van organohalogenen in het interstellaire medium vertelt ons ook iets over de uitgangssituatie voor organische chemie op planeten,” aldus onderzoeker Karin Öberg. “Uit onze ontdekking blijkt dat organohalogenen waarschijnlijk een bestanddeel zijn van de zogeheten ‘oersoep’, zowel op de jonge aarde als op de pas gevormde rotsachtige exoplaneten.” Volgens onderzoeker Jes Jørgensen toont de ontdekking van freon-40 rond komeet 67P/C-G (de komeet die Rosetta tot oktober vorig jaar bestudeerde) aan “dat er een duidelijk verband bestaat tussen de pre-biologische chemie van verre protosterren en ons eigen zonnestelsel.”
Fayolle ziet in de studie vooral bewijs dat we eigenlijk nog nauwelijks kaas gegeten hebben van de vele elementen die op de aarde en daarbuiten te vinden zijn. “Onze resultaten laten zien dat we nog veel te leren hebben over de vorming van organohalogenen. Verdere zoekacties naar organohalogenen rond andere sterren en kometen zijn nodig om hier het fijne van te weten te komen.”

Scientists have found traces of methyl chloride around an infant star system and a comet, disproving astrobiologists who previously suggested that searching for the chemical in the atmospheres of alien worlds is an indicator of life.
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) telescope in Chile, researchers detected the faint molecular fingerprint of methyl chloride - a chemical commonly produced by industrial and biological processes here on Earth - around an infant star system known as IRAS 16293-2422.
Traces of this organic compound were also discovered in the thin atmosphere of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P/C-G) by the Rosetta space probe.
Methyl chloride (CH3Cl), also known as Freon-40, is one of a class of molecules known as organohalogens. This new ALMA observation is the first detection ever of a stable organohalogen in interstellar space.
The cosmic discovery of this organic compound, however, is disappointing news for astrobiologists, who previously suggested searching for methyl chloride in the atmospheres of alien worlds as a possible indicator of life.
The recent ALMA and Rosetta detections raise doubts about that proposal, however. They indicate that methyl chloride forms naturally in interstellar clouds and endures long enough to become part of a forming solar system.
IRAS 16293-2422 is a collection of several infant stars, or protostars, each about the same mass as our Sun. It is located about 400 light-years from Earth and is still surrounded by its natal cocoon of dust and gas.
Chemical found around star deals blow to search for aliens
"Finding organohalogens near these young, Sun-like stars was surprising," said Edith Fayolle, a researcher at Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) in the US.
"We simply didn't predict its formation and were surprised to find it in such significant concentrations," said Fayolle.
"It's clear now that these molecules form readily in stellar nurseries, providing insights into the chemical evolution of solar systems, including our own," she said.
"ALMA's discovery of organohalogens in the interstellar medium also tells us something about the starting conditions for organic chemistry on planets," said Karin Oberg, an astrochemist at CfA.
"Such chemistry is an important step toward the origins of life," said Oberg, co-author of the study.
"Based on our discovery, organohalogens are likely to be a constituent of the so-called 'primordial soup', both on the young Earth and on newly formed rocky exoplanets," she said.
Image used for representational purpose only
The researchers also note that abundant organohalogens around a young Sun-like analogue demonstrate that the organic chemicals present in the interstellar medium involves halogens, which was previously not known.
In addition, both ALMA and Rosetta detected this molecule in similar abundance ratios. Since comets are a remnant of the formation of our solar system and retain a chemical fingerprint of that era, the new observations support the idea that a young solar system can inherit the chemical make-up of its parent star-forming cloud.

Canada’s Former Defence Minister Claims UFOs exist
“Paul Hellyer former Defence Minister in Lester Pearson’s government has been a Liberal and a Conservative, has run for the leadership of both parties and founded two more, and he believes UFOs exist.”
“My role is really to say publicly for the first time that I believe that what we call unidentified flying objects are real,” he said, “. . . and that people should know more about them and some of the implications of the fact they exist and that they’ve been observing our planet for more than half a century now.” “I spoke with Paul Shishis and, he said he has never seen a UFO and he had remained unconvinced of their existence until quite recently. In fact, as Defence Minister (he is known for unifying the forces), Mr. Hellyer said, he received reports of UFO sightings but didn’t pay much attention to them. Lately, however, his reading on the subject and talking with high ranking military personnel from Canada and the United States plus other evidence has him convinced UFOs do exist. He says this has policy implications for governments, but will not reveal what he thinks they are. The most important discoveries will provide answers to questions that we do not yet know how to ask and will concern objects we have not yet imagined. Thanks to the Globe
RB-47s Reconnaissance Aircraft Chase UFOs
Investigator Hank Schuren reports that he has obtained four (Reconnaissance Bomber) RB-47 reports from Strategic Air Command reporting UFOs in 1955. On 1 June an eastbound RB-47 experienced radar contact with an with a bright unknown return on their APG-32 set for 20 minutes and the warning light flashed intermittently. The RB-47’s K- system recorded what may have been the sweep of another radar nearby. Contact was lost at 2120 Z. returning over the same route westbound the crew reported the UFO slightly east APG-32 again had a contact for thirty minutes duration at about 8,000 yards. No visual contact was made.
At 0030Z on 4 June, a westbound RB-47 experienced the electronic and visual contact with an unknown. The RB-47 gun warning light was flashing and the 5 radar had a contact at 7000 yards. Visual contact was made with a glistening silver metallic unknown that was seen low and to the rear and slightly to the right. The configuration of the unknown was obscured by contrails. The unknown aircraft broke off contact to the north with an increase in speed. The RB-47 was at 32,000 feet was flying at Mach .735. The radar and visual contact were maintained for 9 minutes.
On 7 June at 0050Z, a westbound RB-47 at 35,000 feet experienced electronic contact with an object 3,500 yards at the same altitude. The scope return was square and rectangular.
On 8 June at 2044 Z, an eastbound RB-47 flying at 30,000 feet at 450 knots experienced electronic and visual contact with an unknown aircraft. The K system radar indicated sweep from another radar. Visual contact indicates aircraft was 5 to 10000 feet higher and 7 miles behind for twenty minutes. The copilot of the RB-47 states the unknown aircraft had a fighter configuration. A contrail was observed and a second RB-47 traveling 80 miles behind the first also saw the contrail. Thanks to Hank Schuren and SAC
Data on Crashed UFOs
Artist Bill McDonald of Roswell UFO
Skywatch International, Inc reports, “.Some very interesting inferences can be drawn from the last metal sample submitted by an anonymous donor. The last sample was allegedly part of the skin or shell of the Roswell craft. There are micron thick layers of magnesium and zinc alternating with layers of bismuth, a diamagnetic element (Atomic No. 83). Eyewitness testimony, especially that of Frank Kaufmann describes the underside of the craft as tiled with an array of hexagons. The craft itself is described as shaped like a manta ray and capable of changing its shape in flight.
In the third letter from the anonymous donor of Art’s Parts, he states, “I now include the enclosed, and can only say that these scrapings came from the exterior underside of the Disc itself. It literally was a “shell-like” shielding of the Disc. Brittle and layered, almost with a prefabricated design and placing.” Bismuth has a hexagonal crystal system, but crystals are rare and imperfect for it often occurs in lamellar masses. Bismuth, atomic element 83, has a density nearly as heavy as lead. It can be located in hydrothermal veins, associated with nickel, cobalt silver, tin and uranium sulfides.
Artist Bill McDonald who made the above Roswell drawing writes, “Now that legendary Lockheed engineer and chief model kit designer for the Testor Corporation John Andrews is dead, I can announce that he personally confirmed the design connection between the Roswell Spacecraft and the Lockheed Martin Unmanned Combat Air Vehicles (UCAVs), spy planes, Joint Strike Fighters, and Space Shuttles. Andrews was a close personal friend of “Skunk Works” CEO Ben Rich and the man famous for the F-117 Nighthawk “Stealth” fighter, (shown here) its “half-pint” prototype the “HAVE BLUE”, and the top Secret F-19 Stealth Interceptor.
In Eugene H. Burt’s book, “UFOs and Diamagnetism”, he discusses the Hall voltage developed across a conductor when the conductor is inserted in a magnetic field. In a few cases, one of them being Bismuth, the current may be considered positive current. It should be beneficial to determine whether there is a correlation between the observed diamagnetism in solid state physics and a positive current as determined by the Hall Effect.
Henry Wallace, a GE Engineer, patented a device for creating secondary gravitational fields. He described using spinning discs composed of bismuth which had developed a strong positive electrostatic charge.
T.T. Brown experimented with disc- shaped capacitors that were suspended and charged with high voltages. These disc- shaped capacitors accelerated toward the capacitor’s positive pole.
The Brown Effect is usually referred to as electrogravity, various objects that are highly polarized and develop high voltages tend to lose their weight and levitate. A complete theory of electrogravity has not yet been worked out. Experiments with spinning objects also show gravitationally anomalous effects. Flying saucers are surrounded by an ionizing field that levitates and propels them as well as acting as a refractive lens to divert light in stealth mode. One of the characteristics of metallic hexagonal crystals is DIAMAGNETIC BEHAVIOR. Hexagonal matrices may act as waveguides in superconductors. Burt felt that saucers developed a time-varying diamagnetic field that interacted with the earth’s magnetic field.
The Roswell flyer was definitely a craft of advanced technology, an organic technology that is able to grow an ordered structure from a crystalline matrix. Such organic technology is our next step in growing homes and vehicles that can change their shape and characteristics on command. The Roswell flyer may have become the model for a prototype US Aerospace Plane. Notice the shape of Lockheed’s X-33, a rocket-based Single Stage to Orbit (SSTO) Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV). The Lockheed Martin Skunk Works X-33 concept uses a lifting body shape coupled with an Aerospike rocket engine concept to propel the vehicle to over Mach 15. The lifting body shape could be fitted with electrogravity propulsion.
Now, compare all of the above with statements made by the late retired Lt. Col Philip Corso.
The craft was able to displace gravity through the propagation of magnetic waves controlled by shifting the magnetic poles around the craft so as to control, or vector, not a propulsion system but the repulsion force of like charges raced among themselves to figure out how the craft could retain its electric capacity. [p100]
The Air Force discovered that the entire vehicle functioned just like a giant capacitor. In other words, the craft itself stored the energy necessary to propagate the magnetic wave that elevated it, allowed it to achieve escape velocity from the earth’s gravity, and enabled it to achieve speeds of over seven thousand miles per hour. It was as if gravity was being folded around the outside of the wave that enveloped the craft. [p101]
Lt. Col Corso speculated that the Roswell crashed UFOs were time machines because they were small and did not carry food, bathroom, or rest facilities. The basic things Phil Corso said ring true.
He wrote, “The ships are empty inside – no huge engine rooms and that the grays are “conscious” robots and use a “mental-matter” or “psychotronic” command control communication system. Telepathy and that time travel is involved” http://www.1stbooks.com Corso’s
The ship is virtually empty inside – no toilets, no kitchens, no beds, and no large equipment. Everything is miniaturized, I suspect at the nanometer scale. The UFO seemed to jump from one planet to Earth, or it may have come from a Mothership, underground or under the sea.
Several extraterrestrials sit in their chairs inside the UFO in the atmosphere of Earth and place their hands on what appears to be a control panel with indentations for their hands. The UFO can interface with their consciousness and take directions from them. They tell the UFO they desire to go to Mars and in a short time, the craft is there. UFOs are frequently reported to suddenly appear in the sky or suddenly disappear. There is advanced technology aboard the craft that can read minds or pick up the instructions communicated to the autopilot.
The craft’s autopilot knows it must open up a wormhole or vortex in front of the craft to a particular planet. It then takes the extraterrestrials to their destination in less time than most airline flights. This technology has apparently been expanded upon and is used in Time Travel Jump Rooms. Many scientists claim time travel is impossible, conversely personnel from several aviation firms claim we are thirty years ahead of where you think we are and we can take ET home. If the technology exists to implant memories, all information is suspect.
There is no better way to introduce distortion than to present it through someone who is a believer. The people I have met believe the information they present and would likely pass a lie detector test. Engineers marveled at the thin amalgam of the most refined copper and purest silver they had ever seen that covered the ship’s underside. The metal was remarkable for its conductivity, as if the entire craft was an electrical circuit offering no resistance to the flow of current. Accelerating from a near stationary hover above a given spot, like a helicopter, to speeds in excess of seven thousand miles per hour in a matter of seconds? The craft itself was an electrical circuit. [p107]
That the flight suits -“flight skins” is a better description – the creatures wore were made of a substance whose atomic structure was elongated, strengthened lengthwise, so as to provide a directional flow to any current applied to it. The engineers who first discovered this were amazed at the pure conductivity of these skins, functionally like the skin of the craft itself and their obvious ability to protect the wearer while at the same time vectoring some kind of electronic field. [p108]
The debris and the spacecraft indicated that an engine didn’t somehow fall out of the craft when it crashed. A conventional engine was never there in the first place. What we found was that the craft seemed to have had the ability to store as well as conduct a vast amount of current. What if the craft itself were the engine, imparted with a steady current from another source that it stored as if it were a giant capacitor? This would be like charging the battery in an electric car [] and running it until the battery was drained. [p109&p110]
The Roswell craft was simply a capacitor that stored current that was controlled or vectored by the pilot and was able to be recharged in some way or could recharge itself with some form of built-in generator.[p110] Scientists who had gone to the Air Materiel Command at Wright Field to see the debris were speculating that the electronic potential of the Roswell craft reminded them of the German and British antigravity experiments of the 1920s and 1930s.[p110]
Tesla and a number of other European scientists had been pioneers in the conversion of circumscribed small-area antigravity fields out of electromagnetic fields.[p110]
But, what if the flying craft already carried enough electric potential and storage capacity to retain its power, just like a very advanced flying battery? Then it might have all the power it needed to propagate and vector a wave directionally by shifting its magnetic poles. If the magnetic field theory experiments carried out by engineers and electrical energy pioneers Paul Biefeld and Townsend Brown in the 1920s at the California Institute for Advanced Studies were accurately [p110] reported – and the U.S. military as well as scientific record keepers at Hoover’s young Bureau of Investigation kept very close tabs on what these engineers were doing – then the technological theory for antigravity flight existed before World War II.[p111]
The Germans did develop and had flown flying disks,[p111] If the EBEs utilized a wave-propagation technology as an antigravity drive and navigation system, then they traveled inside some form of adjustable electromagnetic wave .[p114]
Molecular alignment metallic alloys[p115] about the only possible process that could interfere with the electromagnetic field drive we suspected the aliens were using: a directed-particle energy-beam weapon that could disrupt the electromagnetic wave formation around the spacecraft and penetrate the antigravity field.[p245]
Tesla wrote about the theories behind the distortion or manipulation of a gravitational field through the propagation of electromagnetic waves, and the extraterrestrials seemed to have employed just that kind of technology for a propulsion system.[p249]
There seems to be some consistency in all of these statements that would lead us to believe that we may have some authentic information about the Roswell craft. Some of this was also supported in a document received by Tim Cooper from one of his mysterious sources. The “S” craft from Cantwheel is described here… http://209.132.68.98/documents/pdf/s-aircraft.pdf

Dragons and Reptilians an “Enigma Wrapped in a Mystery”
Tales of China’s ancient days are crammed with stories about the “sky people” and the “god-men” who came from the stars using the Earth as a base for exploration. Along the way these beings taught some of the primitive peoples they met the basics of technology, engineering, farming, and the complex structure of the universe.
In the early years of the Twentieth Century two merchants from Australia crossed central China. Upon the vast plains they found more than 100 pyramids. Locals told the two men that the pyramids were very old – some much older than China. Other younger pyramids dated to the reigns of the oldest emperors.
Those rulers often spoke of extraterrestrials and civilizations on other planets like Earth. Some of the emperors even wrote that they were the offspring, of the sons of the sky, who had landed upon Earth in iron dragons.” The “skymen” are responsible for building the oldest pyramids.
Draco is a constellation in the far northern sky. Its name is Latin for dragon. It was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and remains one of the 88 modern constellations today. The north pole of the ecliptic is in Draco.[1] Draco is circumpolar (that is, never setting), and can be seen all year from northern latitudes.
Many cultures claim aliens came from the Draco Constellation who also happen to be Reptilian in shape and not too different in appearance to a dragon. Cultures from all over the world claim contacts with extraterrestrial civilizations. I suggest there is real evidence in many museums showing alien gods such as these images that reveals secrets for which a small number of us understand.
Although most people think there is life in the universe in some of the newly found planets, the Ancient Anunnaki were nearly always represented in a humanoid form. However, numerous traits indicate clear differences between the Anunnaki and ordinary humans. The facial features of the Ancient Anunnaki gods were often well-hidden thanks to the large beards, and even though their facial features indicate a clear similarity with humans, there are many aspects that have led numerous researchers to suspect there is something off with the depictions of the Anunnaki Gods. Many believe that there is a clear connection between the Ancient Anunnaki and representations of Reptilian beings on Earth.
Anunnaki Gods.
Interestingly, the word used to describe the ancient Anunnaki in ancient Mesopotamia was SIR, which translated means ‘dragon’ or ‘big serpent’. But there are quite a few details which hint towards a Reptilian origin of the Anunnaki, beyond the symbolism of the snake or dragon.
Modern-day Iraq, in the Zagros Mountains at the archeological site of Jarmo, researchers discovered a proto-Neolithic community which vanished. Excavations revealed that Jarmo was an agricultural community dating back to 7090 BC years ago that developed some of the earliest pottery and agriculture. .
Among the thousands of mysterious artifacts and Sumerian statues of the gods found on site, researchers discovered numerous representations of The Mother Goddess of Fertility’ who is holding a baby. Sumerians claim the Anunnaki made humans or mated with early hominids. The only thing off here is the fact that the statues of
‘The Mother Goddess of Fertility’ show an anthropomorphic body, the heads of the statues are not human. Both male and female figurines display lizard-like characteristics: Elongated faces, elongated skulls, large oval-shaped eyes, and broad shoulders. Science claims humans allegedly evolved from the Rhesus Monkey but 15% of humans have RH Negative Blood Types and are not related to monkeys. There is indication some humans may be related to these alien life forms.
University Study: Planets Are Warming In Same Way as Earth
Man-made global warming is a misleading hoax according to a new study by planetary scientists at Penn State University that proves other planets in our solar system experience the same temperature peaks and troughs as Earth.
Climate change is natural and it happens on Mars and other solar system planets, despite the lack of humans on those planets to directly cause the temperature changes. Our planet is far from unique in experiencing temperature changes over time. The university study goes as far as saying that gas-fueled climate activities and greenhouse gasses have scarred Mars in much the same way they have affected Earth. Nature World Newsreports: the new study is looking into the possibility of how gas-fuelled climate changes that resulted in the accumulation of greenhouse gasses could be the cause of some formative changes on the surface of Mars. A mosaic of images taken by Viking 1 centers on

The study led by planetary scientists suggests that carbon dioxide and hydrogen trapped in the atmosphere could have scarred the Martian surface. It has always bewildered experts how the massive canyons on Mars, during a time when the planet was frozen, formed. The canyons bear resemblance to the canyons on Earth formed by flowing liquid water.
Based on the study, Mars could have experience long warm climate cycle. These warm cycles lasted for 10 million years per interval due to Greenhouse gasses from the thick atmosphere with carbon dioxide and hydrogen. This cycle enables the formation of Martian valleys and canyons, according to a report. Thanks to Baxter DmitrySci/Environment1

UFO Sightings in the United States
Arizona Orbs
Phoenix – I was working on an AC unit on the roof of a midrise in downtown my coworker on September 28, 2017, said “What’s that when I looked I saw three orbs coming over Squaw Peak.”They were heading south and at first we thought they were helicopters that we see all the time. As they got closer we saw they were reflecting orbs that stopped and began to move west and assumed a triangle shape gaining altitude without sound. I believe they may have been faceted they way they randomly reflected lights. They began to straighten out to a linear form then precede north northwest back the way they came and disappeared into the distance total time was under 45 minutes. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Asbury Park — I was on my patio and looked up to see two objects on September 16, 2017. The objects hovered then move away. Then I saw 5 more objects in the sky. Two were red and the others were white all moving in same direction. No noise was heard and they were very high up compared to jets flying in the area.
I am a pilot and was in the Navy but never have I seen objects behave like this. I am sure other people must have seen this today as well. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Saddle Brook — I saw a white ball at low altitude in the middle of the night, and planes were visible as well as the Moon on/September 28, 2017. The light of this white ball was very intense with a white aura. It moves in varied directions as well as lateral displacements. The UFO flew at very high speed, and seemed to be in a valley observation flying around the countryside. A statement to GEIPAN was made but no follow-up or contact from them. I hope that this declaration will help collective awareness. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New York Orange Orbs
Albany – On September 26, 2017, Hello my name is Elizabeth I just saw 3 orange orbs in the sky around 10:28 to 10:30 PM really quick.
I was outside on my farm with the horse doing night check and over the wood line I saw 3 large orange orbs in a circle and then triangular formation.
It was crazy and pretty scary being that I was far out in the woods! I didn’t get a picture, but it was bright and big. I am 15 miles south of Albany, NY.
It was kind of like the sketch that I sent. Thanks to MUFON CMS
North Carolina Object
Cherokee — I just got this phone over the weekend and we went to the mountains in Cherokee on September 24, 2017. I was randomly taking bursts of photos and just now went back and realized this. I’ve been trying to figure it out but can’t, it’s almost unreal but it’s there. It’s too big to be a bird and we were traveling around 40 mph and it’s going way faster than us. If you look at the time on both pics they are both at the same time at 12:26 pm and it’s gone in the second. I just finished watching “Unacknowledged” on Netflix. l liked it but it’s scary. Usually don’t go out my way to do all this but what other explanation is there? Let me know. I only had a picture of it, but I never knew about it till today. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Ohio Lights
Cleveland— I looked out my window at 2:00 am on September 24, 2017, witnessing a bright light in the sky between openings through the leaves of a large tree in my backyard. The light was larger than any star in the sky. It was larger than any visible planet. As I watched it I noticed it was moving. With the help of the leaves, I could tell the pace of the movement more easily because it disappeared behind the leaves. It moved faster than stars in the sky, but much slower than airplanes, satellites, etc. So, I grabbed my good camera and tripod and ran to my back porch.
I found openings between leaves and branches by standing, kneeling and in between then adjusted my tripod, zoomed in 30x, and began snapping pictures. It seemed to first be moving upwards in the sky. So I would have to adjust my tripod higher up. Then it started on a slow path downward on what I believe is about 150-160 degree angle. Eventually it seemed to stop and go straight downward at a 90 degree angle for the remainder of the sighting. I ended up having my tripod go from all the way down, then all the way up, then all the way down again. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Oregon String of Lights
Detroit Lake — I was in the mountains above Detroit Lake, taking pictures of the night sky from around 10:45 pm to 11:15 pm on August 23, 2917. After the fact, I found a light anomaly on two of my pictures, taken 10 – 15 seconds apart. Without a clear reference I cannot estimate the distance from me, but the anomaly appears to be at least hundreds of yards across. From the first picture to the second it moved to the West and slightly lower in elevation, and the far left section changed shape. The light color is yellow-white with brighter sections spaced regularly along its length. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Pennsylvania Orb
Pittsburgh — Object appeared in the sky as my son and I were sitting outside on September 5, 2017. He seen it 1st and said “Mom, what is that”..?? !!! “It looks like Nebula”!!(Note: he and I discussed this and read about it. My son is 12) I looked up and said. “It’s definitely not the moon”… as having my phone in hand, I snapped 2 photos. I then continued to look at this object standing next to my son. He then said “Mom, it’s moving upwards… I said OMG it is!!! Then it just vanished. I cropped the 2 photos as to see closer. Oddly enough there are eyes, face… as I will add these 2 images.

Tennessee Eclipse
Sweetwater — On August 21, 2017, o observe the Total Solar Eclipse. Latitude 35.60N Longitude 84.47W. The eclipse started around 2:30 PM. I took off my eclipse glasses and started to video tape the eclipse on my cell phone. My video lasted 108 seconds (1:48). I was in a park between Monroe St, S. High St. and S. Price St watching the eclipse with my family. I was shooting through a clearing between trees. I had a clear view of the Eclipse. You can see birds flying over and you can hear me talking to my son during the video.
At about 65 seconds into the video a white dot appeared. It started moving around in different directions. It looked like it was moving toward the Earth. At the end of the video when the Sun and Moon started to separate, there was a starburst on the two sides of the eclipse. The white dot had a glow around it. Maybe the Sun was reflecting off the backside of it. The glow expanded and shows as a pink inside and a blue area around. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Note: The light may be a reflection on the lens but moves around like and object.

Blackstock — I brought a group to where I caught most of my footage it was my friend and his wife ,15 yr old nephew and 3 kids age 9,7,1 his wife hasn’t slept right since that night As I captured one that looked like an large orb on August 6, 2017, with wings the others started shouting there another one I didn’t get full pic but I got enough and it was all captured on Facebook live as I was live because I got a better view saved then if I had of just used camera because I got to record off the bright screen ,so this thing landed about 2 or 3 km to the west of our location in the gravel pits and behind a home then flew over us with no sound , everybody was freaking out . Then the next night I went back and I captured again two more just hovering over same location but I only captured a pic w my phone off of my camera monitor but it looks like the same crafts possibly So many sightings, perhaps because we’re in between two nuclear plants within 10 km; is there a connection? I’ve become my own investigator because there is really no one who cares. I went to the local police they laughed me out of the station Thanks to MUFON CMS
Denmark Pyramids
Island of Situate — On September 12, 2017, 7:20 PM my sighting occurred between Denmark and Sweden. It was still daylight and it was about 30 minutes before sundown. There is a lot of air traffic around here, but the objects were definitely not airplanes. The local bus driver and I witnessed the sighting, and we never have seen similar these before.
There were 3 objects coming from the south, and crossed over the eastern part of the island at high altitude. Number 1 turned to the east-northeast (to Sweden), number 2 continued north (to Norway). Number 3’s direction is unknown
The altitude was probably more than 8 to 10 kilometers, because number 2 was flying above some cumulus clouds. The shapes were double-pyramids. I took no photos. The objects were like silver hot-air-balloons), but balloons don’t change directions, and fly not so fast. The speed would have been 800 to 1,000 kilometers/hour (about 375 MPH). There was no sound and no trails. 50 kilometers east from here – on the Swedish coast, is the biggest Scandinavian nuclear facility. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com
France Lights
Pau— I was outside staring at the stars. I saw two luminous balls that had a south-westerly north-easterly direction on September 23, 2017.
These two luminous balls passed over me at least at 2 or 3000 meters of altitude without any noise with a high speed the two balls crossed the sky in less than 30 seconds it passed before successively then they disappeared in the horizon. Ten seconds later 3 or 4 planes went in the same direction to an attitude that was substantially the same on the video that was made with my cell phone we see only one ball but there was indeed one second just a little bit less bright. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Iran Light
Mianeh, East Azerbaijan — My friend and I were watching the sky from the balcony; suddenly we noticed a kind of flying object in the sky on September 26, 2017.
It was lower than the altitude of a plane, and illuminated by white lights. Its surface was grey and. its shape was amazingly like a cone, and its vortex was much brighter.
It was moving straightly to the southeast and was nearing to the ground. We both were frightened then I just picked up my phone and took some photos that I have attached. After 15 minutes the light decreased and finally we lost the whole sight. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Italy Light
Milan — I did not fear the circle.
I saw the same ball with rays.
Photos were taken on September 22, 2017.

Natura, Tijuana — I was outside talking on the phone looking in the sky for no reason. 2. The ball shape object papered and kept multiplying to make a bigger ufo. Also it made a weird noise when it was multiplying but the noise only lasted for 8 seconds.
I have never seen anything like that in my entire life. 4. The UFO was multiplying from the right to the left and after when it’s completed; it started disappearing one by one. 5. I was little scared but excited, to witness some kind of alien ufo sightings.
It disappeared one by one.

Nottingham — My daughter, who lives in Nottingham, UK was looking at the evening sky late August this year 2017, she just took the photo and didn’t notice the object at the time. Later when looking at it she noticed the object to the right of the photo. It is in the sky in the early evening. I don’t think it is a reflection of any lamp inside of the bedroom on the window pane. It is a large metallic looking ring emitting a lot of light from the top. It is quite bright.

Alan tells his UFO story in his own words on how he was abducted by aliens
Alan tells his UFO story in his own words on how he was abducted by aliens
It's time: Alan Godfrey
If there is a story that has long gripped imagination it is that of the strange events that swept up serving police officer Alan Godfrey one night in November, 1980.
In the decades since then the account given - from sketches made in his pocket book to interviews given under hypnosis - Alan’s story of being abducted, subject to experiments and returned by an alien spacecraft has been one of the most documented in the world.
Alan has always said that consciously he cannot remember what happened in the segment of time he was “missing” during his night-time West vYorkshire Police shift, but what he does know and think about events that had a profound effect on his life you can soon read in his own words when his autobiography is launched with a two-day signing session at Lyall’s bookshop, Rochdale Road, Todmorden town centre, from 10am to 2pm on Saturday and Sunday, October 14 and 15.
Who Or What Were They? (£12.50), has been written with the help of leading UFOlogist and author Jenny Randles. It is also available via ebay books.
It covers Alan’s whole story, from arriving in Todmorden as a boy and including his involvment as a serving officer in the mysterious case of Zygmund Adamaski, the Polish worker from Tingley who was found dead on top of the coal heap at Todmorden Railway Station with unexplained burns to his head just months before Alan’s own experience.
“I go through everything that happened to me. The last chapter is called ‘Back to the Future’, which is me talking today about my own concusions as to what’s happened and why it’s happened,” he said. “I used to be embarrassed about it all but now I have raised thousands and thousands of pounds for charities talking about it.
“The book title has a double meaning, people assume it is aliens - but..? It needed to be told.”
It was 1993 when I was first contacted by London businessman Ray Santilli. It was l995 when Santilli’s controversial ‘Alien Autopsy Film’ was released around the world. I have covered events surrounding this film in many publications around the world and in my new book ‘ROSWELL ALIEN AUTOPSY – The Truth Behind the Film That Shocked the World’ so forgive me if I don’t cover old ground here. All the relevant details of my previous research can be located on my website at: www.beyondroswell.com.
On June 22nd 2007, I travelled by train to London to meet up with Ray Santilli and his business partner Gary Shoefield. We had a pleasant lunch together and Ray Santilli showed me some frames of film encased in a type of perspex material. Santilli claimed these were original vintage 1947 frames of film from the alien autopsy. As they came with no official seal of approval or had been authenticated by anyone they were useless.

Within a couple of days of this meeting my friend and colleague Russel Callaghan, editor of UFO DATA magazine, had a phone call from a man by the name of Spyros Melaris. This man claimed he had lead the team that faked the whole alien autopsy film. He was a magician and filmmaker and he was now ready to spill the beans. He gave Russel a run down of the who, what, why and where of the whole affair. Because of my involvement in this affair Russel was soon on the phone to me with the details. It wasn’t long before I spoke to Spyros Melaris myself and he was telling me things in great detail. During the next few weeks I had several telephone conversations with Spyros Melaris and also put him in contact with US TV producer Robert (Bob) Kiviat at his request. Spyros was considering the best way to go public with his story, he had a book planned and thought that a TV documentary might also be a good idea.
Along with my colleagues Russel Callaghan, Michael Buckley and Steve Johnston, I was one of the co-organisers of the UFO DATA annual conference. It just so happened, that the 2007 conference had a loose Roswell theme to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Roswell Incident. My colleagues and I discussed the possibility of asking Spyros Melaris to make his first public statement on this whole thing at our conference and eventually he agreed. The conference itself was held over the weekend of October 20th& 21st 2007 in Pontefract, West Yorkshire. A packed audience saw Spyros take the stage on Sunday October 21st. I had met him in person for the first time the night before at the hotel and I made loose arrangements to formally interview him at his home later in the year. As promised, Spyros took to the stage and told of his involvement in the making of the alien autopsy film. A small few members of the audience were rather upset to hear this but the vast majority were fascinated by what he had to say.

I made arrangements to visit the home of Spyros Melaris on November 16th 2007 and I drove to his house in Hertfordshire with my partner Christine. Before the formal audio-taped interview began we had lunch with Spyros and his lovely wife Anne. Over lunch Spyros showed us some of the documentary evidence he has to support his claims. This included his diary from l995, hand drawn sketches of the alien, a full list of hand painted story board images of the whole alien autopsy film, original fax messages from Kodak in the USA providing copies of l947 fill canister labels, and a large portfolio of research material. This was mainly of vintage (l940’s) US military vehicles and some vintage US military medical photographs. The interview itself lasted around two hours and we only touched the tip of the iceberg. The full interview can be located online at: http://www.outtahear.com/beyond_updates/index.html (Alien Autopsy Information section). I would like to thank my colleague Steve Johnston for transcribing this interview in full. The following is based on that interview.

Who is Spyros Melaris?
As the name might give it away Spyros was originally born in Cyprus. As a boy he was taught a magic trick by his grandfather and his love of magic was born. The other passion as a boy growing up in the UK was film making. At school he told his careers officer that he wanted to be an actor but this was discouraged. A proper job was what he should have. So a proper job he took and after leaving school became an apprentice trained motor mechanic. However, his love of magic and film making eventually won over and he eventually became a magician and a filmmaker. He now owns his own TV studio in London and makes TV shows for all the major networks in the UK and independent production companies alike. In short, in his owns words, we make programmes for “anyone who books us.”
How He Met Ray Santilli
In January 1995 he was to attend the MIDEM music industry event in Cannes, France. He was taking a film crew there and had some spare time on his hands so he sent fax messages to 4 production companies picked at random from a media directory. He basically asked them if they wanted to hire him and his crew while in Cannes. One of these happened to be the Merlin Group owned by Ray Santilli. Spyros and Ray Santilli had a few telephone conversations but did not meet and arranged to meet in Cannes. By pure chance they bumped into each other at a restaurant in Cannes and it was here that Ray Santilli fist told Spyros Melaris that he had obtained film footage of an alien. Holding back a smirk Spyros asked Santilli if he was serious and he replied he was, not only that, he wanted Spyros to make a documentary from this footage. They eventually agreed to meet at Ray Santilli’s office back in London. A few days later Spyros kept his appointment with Santilli at his office in London. Here he met an almost distraught Ray Santilli who told him he’d bought this film but it had turned out to be very poor quality. Spyros was shown what has become known as the ‘tent footage’ and he immediately recognised it as been shot on video. The tape he was shown was on VHS format. Santilli seemed surprised that he had recognised it as being shot on video so quickly and he realised the game was up. Again in Spyros’s own words “If I can’t get it past this guy, I’m not going to get it past anyone else. He realised it was game up. That’s when the meeting ended. I thought the guy’s mad. He’s trying a fast one. I thought it was over at that point.”
So How Did The Idea of a Fake Film Come About?
Melaris met up with his friend and colleague John Humphreys. Humphreys is a Royal Academy trained sculptor whose work had sometimes overlapped into film and TV special effects. Melaris and Humphreys had known each other for a long time and had worked on a number of things together in the past. Melaris simply put the idea to Humphreys, “John, do you fancy sculpting an alien?” Melaris told Humphreys of his meeting with Santilli and basically came up with the idea of making it. They talked things over from a legal point of view and how it might help them break into other projects, even Hollywood. The idea was to make it, release it to the world, and then make a second programme shortly after showing how they did it. Humphreys agreed and Melaris pitched the idea to Santilli. Santilli looked like a man reborn and agreed. The budget put forward by Melaris was about £30,000 and it was Santilli’s business partner and friend Volker Spielberg who put up the money. The funding was in place, contracts and a confidentiality agreement were signed and the ball was rolling.
The Team Behind The Making of The Film
First off there was Spyros Melaris. He designed and directed the film, instructed and paid the rest of the team, made the autopsy table along with many of the other props, he also made the ‘contamination suits’ as well as obtain the props and cameras. The main researcher behind it all was Spyros’s then girlfriend Geraldine. She was the one who checked the medical books, spoke with surgeons and pathologists and she even played the part of the nurse in the film. Geraldine is not her real name as she wishes to remain anonymous. John Humphreys of course made the alien’s bodies. The mould was actually made from John’s ten year-old son who was quite tall. As a trained sculptor Humphreys had also studied anatomy so he was the man who played the surgeon in the film. Another friend of Spyros’s was Greg Simmons. He was seen occasionally in the film in one of the contamination suits and he also played the part of the soldier in the Debris Footage. Gareth Watson, a colleague of Santilli’s and Shoefield’s was the man in the surgical mask behind the glass, and finally Spyros’s brother Peter helped behind the scenes. The set was built in Geraldine’s house in Camden in London. The property was in the process of being converted into three flats (apartments) at the time and was therefore empty. The props were obtained from someone Spyros knew in the USA. She was not told what they were for and were all ordered separately and delivered to different addresses so as not to arouse suspicion. The camera’s were obtained by Spyros; one bought and one borrowed from a friend.

Why There Are Two Separate Autopsy Films
According to Spyros the first ‘Alien Autopsy’ film went pretty much as planned. However, upon completion Geraldine noticed that a few of the medical procedures were not correct. They therefore had to make another creature and film another one. Apparently Santilli was ready for packing it all in at this point as there was no more money in the budget to film it again. They persevered and made another one at Spyros’s cost the very next day. This too was not without problems. The foam latex used to fill the dummy had not worked right and an air bubble had left a hollow space in the creature’s leg. Humphreys was despatched to the local butchers by Spyros to get a leg joint of a sheep. This was inserted into the hollow part in the alien’s right leg, a few other things were added, the outside of the leg was gently burnt with a blowtorch and hey presto, the leg wound. Some of the inner organs were manufactured by Melaris, and animal organs were also used for the alien’s innards, although altered with a scalpel and coated with latex. The alien’s brain was actually made from three sheep’s brains and part of a pig’s brain cast in gelatine. This is how there came to be two separate autopsy films one of which was shown in its entirety, while the second one made, has only ever been released in part.
The Wreckage and I-beams
These were all designed by Spyros himself. At the October 2007 UFO DATA conference Spyros showed me how he had designed the ‘writing’ on them and what it said. The wreckage was then manufactured by John Humphreys, Spyros and his brother Peter. He told me that he based it on Greek lettering, a bit of ancient Egyptian stylising and some artistic license. On the main large beams, if translated correctly, reads ‘FREEDOM’. Spyros thought this a fitting name for an alien spacecraft. While designing the letters which spell the word ‘FREEDOM’, Spyros noticed that if the word is turned upside down, the word ‘VIDEO’ could be seen. He adjusted some of the letters to better facilitate this, so the piece would throw a little red herring into the mix. The translation of the smaller beam is being held back for Spyros’s book.

The Cameraman’s Home Video Interview
According to Melaris, Ray Santilli was put under a lot of pressure by various parties to arrange an interview with the fictitious cameraman he allegedly bought the film from. Of course, according to Melaris, there was no such person, so he came up with the idea of creating this aspect of the whole affair as well. The basic scenario is that Melaris flew to Los Angeles and met up with Santilli’s partner Gary Shoefield. Melaris wanted to find an eighty year old tramp on the streets of L.A., pay him a few hundred dollars, put him in front of a camera and ask him to read from a script. Santilli and Shoefield were nervous, and not sure this would work but Spyros was confident he could pull this off, and went ahead. He found an old guy living rough on the street, offered him $500 and a night in the hotel and he duly agreed. Again, by pure chance the chap had been an actor many years ago. Melaris took his name and the name of a movie he had appeared in. These details will be released in his book. He cleaned him up, gave him a shave, and added a bit of make up and a false prosthetic nose and chin and the job was done. The man himself did not know what he was reading or where it was going to be used. There was little chance that he would see the broadcast either. No one would recognise him in a thousand years. And they never did. This film was delivered in person in New York to US TV producer Bob Kiviat by Gary Shoefield and a man claiming to be the cameraman’s son. Eventually the film in question was broadcast on TV in Japan only and from there it was copied and distributed to UFO researchers around the world. The trick worked, no one has identified the man in question, and Melaris claims he is the only one who can do this.
The Crash Site
There are a number of people who believe the alien autopsy film is authentic, not because of the film itself but because of the crash site. Ray Santilli released details, supposedly from his cameraman, as to where the incident took place in the desert. How did this come about? Well, according to Spyros this was quite simple. In l995, he flew to Roswell. Here he interviewed many local people including Loretta Proctor. Mrs. Proctor was the neighbour of rancher Mac Brazel and it was she who suggested that Mac take some of the UFO debris into town after he found it. Spyros also met and hired private pilot Rodney Corn. He asked corn to fly him over the UFO crash site, to which he replied “which one.” There are in fact at least three such sites. So, Spyros flew over all three of them, filming as he went. Rodney Corn was able to show Spyros a great deal from the air, far better than would have been possible on foot. This included small dirt roads and long forgotten landmarks. Before the interview took place Spyros also informed me that he obtained both old and new maps of the area. All of this information was handed to Ray Santilli and it was Santilli, not Spyros, who then put it all together to make a location for a nonexistent crash site.

The Grand Plan
I asked Spyros what was the grand plan. The research was done, the film was made, so what next. Apparently it was a rather simple plan. To release the film to a broadcaster, ask them to investigate and see what happens. They were confident that it would not be exposed as a fake. Then, after a few months the plan was to hold their hands up and tell all. The reason this didn’t happen was money. Spyros had signed a confidentiality agreement with Ray Santilli and Santilli was still adamant that he needed to recoup his initial investment allegedly paid for the tent footage. Santilli told Melaris that he had invested a lot of money on this film and he must recoup that before they were to go public. Santilli reminded Spyros that he was bound by the confidentiality agreement and he was not to say or do anything until Santilli said so. Apart from a cheque for about £10,000, which Spyros split with his team, no royalties were ever paid. Santilli told him that due to the fact that he had stated publicly that it was a military film, that it had simply been copied by third parties without permission and used without payment as the people who were using the film believed that the copyright was vested with the US Military and not with Santilli. Eventually time went on and Spyros just got on with life. He was constantly working on other projects with Santilli and earning a living and the alien autopsy film was all but forgotten.
Going Public

The one thing that I first asked Spyros was why was it that he had decided to go public with this information now. It was twelve years since the alien autopsy film hit the headlines. Melaris stuck to his confidentiality agreement. From a legal point of view if he broke it he could have been sued. However, in 2005 he was approached by Santilli and Shoefield to be involved in the movie version of this whole affair. He asked both if they would now tell the true story and reveal that it was all a fake but they said no, they were going to maintain that they really did have original film. Again, Santilli and Shoefield stated that there was no money in it and that they were doing it for “a bit of fun” when pressed they admitted that both Santilli and Shoefield would get paid a percentage of the profits, there was no such offer for Melaris. Melaris declined their offer. He left that meeting under the impression that the movie was not going to be made. However, the movie was made and distributed by Warner Bros and so Melaris felt that he was now able to speak as the story was now in the public domain.
The Doubters
To round off the interview I asked Spyros Melaris what he had to say to the doubters out there, those that believe the alien autopsy film is the genuine article. I’m not going to paraphrase this; instead I will use his words in full:
PM: Time’s against us, Spyros. I’ll ask one last question. There are those out there who believe in this film and Santilli 100% and they think that you’re some kind of pathological liar, playing devil’s advocate here, so please don’t be offended.
SM: No. Go ahead.
PM: What would you say if you could say one thing to the doubters out there? Is there any one thing that you can say that would say to them Spyros Melaris is who he says he is and has made this film?
SM: I don’t think that there’s any doubt that somebody made it today. That’s fair to say that somebody made the film and even Santilli said it’s a fake, but it was made from original film. I think that’s really the question. The question isn’t whether I made it because I can prove I made it. John Humphries will tell you I made it. Ray would probably tell you I made it! He couldn’t deny it. There’s too much evidence. The question is did I make it from original film? And the simple answer to that is no. There was never any original film other than the tent footage. I’ve never seen any other film. Ray maintains that he’s got original film. My question to Ray is how would that film marry with what I made? It can’t. I haven’t actually seen the film. Now you may say, “Maybe you’re lying and you did see the film and you made it.”
The story’s a bigger story if there was a real film. There would be more money in it. There wouldn’t be a reason for me and Ray to be parted. Why would we fall out? The common sense has got to come into the argument. I’m part of something as big as real film of a real alien. Why would I jeopardise being part of that and go off on my own? There’s no reason to. That’s the first thing.
The second thing. I promise you, something happened in Roswell. I’m not an easy person… I’m a sceptic. I’m not an easy person to convince. Thirty people that I talked to out there, clever people, doctors, lecturers, all sorts of people tell me they saw something. And I believe them. Something happened. A lot of ordinary people. Something happened. So, I don’t think there’s dispute about whether or not something happened in Roswell or other sightings or whether or not everything’s fake. No, I don’t think everything’s fake. I do know this is. I also know that if Ray had original film, he’d be jumping through hoops to let you test it. I’m sorry, but that’s what you would do. You would say, “Give me billions of pounds for this.” That’s what you would say. You would say, “I’ve got nothing to worry about. The cameraman doesn’t want to speak, but look at the film.” That’s what you’d do! That’s what you would do.
PM: Say no more.
[END OF INTERVIEW]
Once again I would like to reiterate that this is only part of what Spyros Melaris had to tell me. The full-unedited interview can be found in the alien autopsy section of our web site at: http://www.outtahear.com/beyond_updates/index.html.
Checking The Facts
So how do we check that what Spyros Melaris is telling us is correct? It is no easy task I can assure you. The documentary material shown to me by Spyros is intriguing but not proof positive. My colleague Mark Center in the USA checked the private pilot Rodney Corn for me and he does exist. Mark spoke to him on the phone but he has no recollection of being hired by Spyros Melaris. This could be because he was hired by Geraldine, and we are talking about an event which happened over 12 years ago.
At the UFO DATA conference in October 2007 was German researcher Michael Hesemann. Michael was also one of the speakers that weekend. Michael investigated the alien autopsy film from l995 through to l997 and believes it to be authentic. After the conference when Michael was back home in Germany he sent me an email that quite frankly left me stunned. He admitted for the first time that in l996 someone sent Michael an email telling him that Spyros Melaris was the hoaxer. Hesemann had never shared this information with anyone. I asked him what he did with it and he simply told me that he phoned Ray Santilli and asked him if he knew this man to which Santilli replied he did not. Michael told me he left it at that.
However, Spyros Melaris independently informed me that in l996 he had received a phone call from someone with a German accent asking him if he was the hoaxer and he of course denied it. He did not know who the caller was until he met Hesemann at our conference. I pressed Michael about this and eventually he admitted he did phone Spyros back in l996. Why Michael Hesemann never shared this information with anyone else is beyond me. In his defence, Michael has stated that there were others mentioned at the time and he did not want to spread false rumours, but these others names were circulated and eliminated. I have to be honest and say here and now that I cannot understand why Hesemann sat on this information and never told anyone. I leave it to you to make up your own mind.
A colleague of mine who is a veteran TV and movie special effects artist also took a look at the interview with Spyros. In his considered opinion the techniques and materials used by Melaris and his team to make the fake alien creature are 100% correct. There is no question in his mind that the dummies were made in the way described. He does have a few questions he’d like to ask, but these are purely little points of clarification and there is nothing wrong with what Melaris has had to say.
The other main person involved in all of this is of course US TV producer Bob Kiviat. Several years back my colleague Tim Mathews and I were tipped off about John Humphreys, Humphreys was part of the team and he made the dummies. Bob tried for years to get Humphreys on camera and make a TV documentary but all to no avail. Eventually, Bob did make a TV show for Channel 5 but without Humphreys in it. This was never broadcast. Both Humphreys and Melaris have spoken at length to Bob Kiviat about their involvement in this whole affair so I took the opportunity to ask Bob a few questions on December 4th 2007. This mini question and answer session is reproduced here in full:
Q: How many times did you speak with UK sculptor John Humphreys?
A: Once before the Ant & Dec movie came out. In approximately 2003. Once after that.
Q: Did Humphreys tell you on what he based the design for his alien creatures?
A: Yes, just on his own research, books and such. No other help.
Q: Did Humphreys ever see any original film, stills or otherwise?
A: No, never. He claimed it all came from his creative efforts and book research.
Q: During your conversations with Humphreys did he ever mention the name Spyros Melaris?
A: Yes. He said Spyros was the one who hired him for Santilli, who he met perhaps twice and came to the set once. All the money came through Spyros. Also, Spyros was the cameraman.
Q: Did Humphreys provide the names of anyone else involved. If yes what are those names?
A: No other names.
Q: Why was Humphreys looking to work with you on a documentary?
A: Yes, Humphreys wanted me to get him a network TV show based on his revelations that he made the autopsy footage, with Spyros acting as money man and cameraman, who he believed was working for Santilli.
Q: Was Humphreys going to tell all and sink the stories put out by Ray Santilli?
A: Yes, but until I got a commitment from a TV network and guaranteed money for his exclusive he kept much close to his chest.
Q: Did you speak to Humphreys agent/advisor?
A: Yes, his business manager was my main contact for all of 2003 and 2004, and it was he who informed me John was going to do the Ant & Dec movie, without giving me the details. There would also be a companion documentary “that would be my worst nightmare,” he said.
Q: If you did, what did he tell you about Humphreys involvement and reasons for wanting to spill the beans?
A: Instead of Humphreys spilling the beans to me, his manager clearly implied John had lost patience and saw a payday elsewhere – the movie, etc.
Q: You made a TV documentary for Channel 5 in 2006 in which I appeared, could you tell us why it was never broadcast?
Channel 5 was rushing instructions to my productions offices in L.A. from England telling me how the show needed to be styled, and they also wanted to move the airdate up to an almost impossible deadline. We were working around the clock already to appease the Channel 5 executive in charge when one of the top people at 5 actually listed the show in a TV guide of some sort. That’s when Gary Shoefield contacted 5 and falsely claimed Ray Santilli was involved in the ownership of my original Fox show, which the new 5 show was jumping off from. It was an outright fabrication, for my company has the only US copyright to the show AND THE ALIEN AUTOPSY FOOTAGE ITSELF!
While we were sorting through this false claim, we interviewed you. When the 5 executives saw you naming Humphreys as the guy who made the dummy and who was the key pro behind the footage, they wanted confirmation so they ILLEGALLY contacted Humphreys through a consulting producer. Humphreys freaked out, told them he wanted nothing to do with the 5 show and said he had to contact Warner Bros. Ultimately 5 reneged on their agreement with my distributor, my distributor did not fight for the airing, and this is how things were left. I’m still debating what course of action I can take to recover my substantial losses and damage!
Q: You have spoken on the telephone at length with Spyros Melaris. Are you convinced he is telling the truth?
A: For the most part, I can’t find any outlandish things that make his story unbelievable. But I do wonder how he could have been so naïve about the amount of money Santilli was making around the world. This part seems odd, as if he was playing dumb. On the contrary, he seems very bright. And if Ray gave him just enough work to keep him quiet afterward, I still wonder why he let all the other money go into Ray’s pocket without him demanding his share. This doesn’t add up, literally, pound for pound.
Q: You have been involved with the Alien Autopsy film since 1995, you have interviewed or spoken to most if not all the main players in it all, so what now is your conclusion?
A: I’m going to need more time to answer that question. Spryros’ actions or non actions in court will have a lot to do with this, and I’m looking into another intriguing angle that could impact my conclusions.
Robert Kiviat. End of interview.
It is clear from this brief interview with Bob Kiviat that there are slight differences between what John Humphreys says about his role in the faking of the film and what Melaris says. However, Humphreys does state quite clearly that it was Spyros Melaris who was the money man, it was Melaris who hired him on behalf of Santilli. Humphreys also confirms without any doubt that there never was any original film. It was a complete and utter fabrication.
I could go on but I think I’ve made my point. In l996, Spyros Melaris was outlined as the hoaxer to German researcher Michael Hesemann. In 2003, US TV producer Bob Kiviat spoke with UK sculptor John Humphreys who confirmed that Spyros was the man in charge and that there was no original film. In 2007, Spyros Melaris goes on the record for the first time and tells how it was all made. Well, perhaps not all. Spyros is holding back certain things for his book, which was supposed to be available in early 2008. And as for Ray Santilli, well he’s pretty quiet at the moment but I doubt if he will ever own up as he is quite simply in it too deep.
The long awaited book by Spyros Melaris ‘ALIEN AUTOPSY: The Myth Exposed’ comes with an accompanying DVD. It was originally scheduled to be released in 2008, but for a variety of reason it has been delayed with no firm date yet for its release.
ROSWELL ALIEN AUTOPSY – The Truth Behind the Film That Shocked the World is published by RoswellBooks.com where it can be purchased, and is avail via Amazon.com.
According to data from the National UFO Reporting Center, UFO sightings around the world have reached an all-time high. Statistics show individuals in the US are more likely to witness a UFO
A brother and sister alien hunting team have discovered a “UFO highway” across America along which hundreds of unexplained events have taken place - from cattle mutilations to alien abductions.
Chuck Zukowski and Debbie Ziegelmeyer have spent years travelling across the US investigating hundreds of UFO sightings and other paranormal occurrences.
It was during one cattle mutilation investigation that Chuck realised that many of the unexplained events he had looked into had taken place on the 37th latitude.
He called his sister - who noticed the same with her investigations in Missouri - and the pair began researching the phenomenon, discovering that there are clusters of unexplained events taking place across the same latitude line.
The pair believe that the 37th latitude line is a kind of UFO or paranormal “highway” along which extra terrestrial craft enter and exit the earth.
Their theory is now the subject of a book called the 37th Parallel - and is about to be made into a Hollywood blockbuster in the next few months.
Chuck told Sun Online: “Back in 2006 I was looking at my cattle mutilation investigations - there were huge similarities between them all - most of them were laying on their right side, they’re laying east to west and then I noticed that lots of them were on the 37 degree latitude.
“I called my sister at midnight and I said, ‘Didn’t you have cattle mutilations on the 37 degree latitude in Missouri?'
"And she said, 'Yes' and we started looking more into it. We soon realized it wasn’t just cattle mutilations – there were all kind of events.
"We we're up until 2:30 in the morning going through all these cases and started seeing these amazing patterns.”
The 37th latitude line runs from California through Nevada, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky and across to Virginia.
Examples of cases along the line include the Joplin Spook Lights - unexplained balls of light that have been appearing in Hornet, Missouri since the 19th century; The Aztec, Nevada incident of 1948 when a flying saucer allegedly crashed; and Piedmont, Missouri where 500 people reported UFO sightings in 1973.
The infamous Area 51 in Nevada - and the Dulce Base - an alleged underground alien base - are also located on the line.
"For the next month or so I start looking at all these cases and I had all this data," Chuck explained.
"All these GPS co-ordinates, everything from Native American sites to underwater caves.
"I released it all on my website and I mentioned it during an appearance on the Science Channel's Unexplained Files - then for the next season of that show they asked me to expand on the theory so I did a whole episode on it for them.
"The bottom line is the 37th latitude is like a UFO highway or paranormal highway across the continent.
"We seem to think that this highway is a major highway that these crafts use - they seem to exit and enter here."
After his appearance on the Science Channel a Hollywood producer got in touch and told Chuck his theory would be a great idea for a book and movie.
The book 37th Parallel, by New York times best selling author Ben Niezrich, came out last year - and a screen play is currently being written.
"In 2015 I signed a life-rights contract with Flint Pictures - it got picked up by New Line Cinema - Warner Brothers before the book was even written - just on the idea," Chuck said.
"The book came out last year. The screen play is being written by a Hollywood screenwriter who has written movies for Matt Damon, Robert De Niro, Robert Downey Jr and should be ready in the next month.
"We’ll know in October if the movie is going ahead but they already have some big name actors following the project already."
Debbie said she is now investigating what incidents have occurred on the 37th latitude around the world - particularly over water.
Athens, Greece, sits on the line - and it's also the the dividing line between North and South Korea.
Debbie has even witnessed UFOs herself on the 37th latitude after a party at her family's lake house near Farmington, Missouri - which lies on the line - last year.
"I have an app on my phone that you can use to look up and it tells you what planets and constellations are visible," she said.
"And then all of a sudden we saw four stars in a formation. They were small stars which kept getting brighter and brighter - so apparently whatever it was was coming into the atmosphere then the one on the top left hand corner shot fast, straight up, and the top right and bottom left did the same - and the bottom right one went right across the horizon.
"I spoke to other experts to see if we have any military or government projects that could do that and they said no - they had no idea what it could be."
Chuck and Debbie say they have investigated hundreds and hundreds of paranormal cases - and it's not just UFOs - the pair also investigate ghost and Bigfoot sightings.
"I get three or four people a week getting in touch with me through my website - sightings, photos and videos - I always have a backlog," Chuck said.
"We started off as crash retrieval investigators but then you gather all this equipment like geiger counters, Electro Magnetic Fields (EMF) instruments, night vision goggles and then people get in touch.
"Lots of Bigfoot sightings are associated with UFO sightings - and ghost investigations started coming up because I had all this equipment.
"We use EMF instruments to look for trace evidence to look for crafts or entities because they leave electronic signatures - well it turns out ghosts leave electronic signatures too.
"Sometimes where they have had ghost sightings the orbs they see might not be ghosts but UFOs.
UFO-snelweg ontdekt in Amerika. Reizen buitenaardse schepen hier van en naar de aarde?
UFO-snelweg ontdekt in Amerika. Reizen buitenaardse schepen hier van en naar de aarde?
Een broer en zus hebben in Amerika naar eigen zeggen een UFO-snelweg ontdekt waar zich honderden onverklaarbare gebeurtenissen hebben voorgedaan.
Chuck Zukowski en Debbie Ziegelmeyer hebben jarenlang in de VS onderzoek gedaan naar UFO-waarnemingen en paranormale gebeurtenissen.
Tijdens een onderzoek naar gevallen van veeverminking besefte Chuck dat al deze vreemde gebeurtenissen plaatsvonden langs de 37e breedtegraad.
UFO-snelweg
Het tweetal vermoedt dat deze breedtegraad een soort UFO-snelweg is die buitenaardse vaartuigen gebruiken om van en naar de aarde te reizen.
“In 2006 verdiepte ik me in gevallen van veeverminking en kwam ik tot de ontdekking dat ze zich vooral voordeden langs de 37e breedtegraad,” vertelde Chuck aan de Sun Online.
Al snel realiseerden Chuck en Debbie dat ook allerlei andere onverklaarbare gebeurtenissen aan deze denkbeeldige parallel konden worden gelinkt.
Indrukwekkende patronen
“We begonnen opeens allerlei indrukwekkende patronen te ontwaren,” zei Chuck.
De 37e breedtegraad loopt van Californië via Nevada, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois en Kentucky naar Virginia.
Langs de parallel zijn een aantal bekende UFO-waarnemingen gedaan. Sinds de 19e eeuw worden in Missouri onverklaarbare lichtbollen gezien, in 1948 crashte er naar verluidt een vliegende schotel in Aztec in Nevada en in 1973 zagen 500 mensen UFO’s in Piedmont in Missouri.
Area 51
Ook de geheimzinnige basis Area 51 en Dulce Base, een vermeende ondergrondse alienbasis, bevinden zich langs de lijn.
“We denken dat deze snelweg door schepen wordt gebruikt om van en naar de aarde te reizen,” lichtte Chuck toe.
There are some things science shouldn’t mess with because they’re already perfect. One is bacon. Another is crayfish, those luscious little lobster-lites that are so delicious boiled, fried or etouffeed (if that’s not a verb, it should be). As usual, science doesn’t listen. Researchers in Cambodia have developed monstrous muscular pigs that look like Arnold Swine-eneggers, while scientists in the Czech Republic have created cyborg crayfish for inspecting water tanks at breweries. Great, they’re messing with beer too.
(Duroc)
“This is the very real horror that seems to be unfolding on a Cambodian farm, where genetically altered pigs are being bred to develop heaping knots of muscle mass.”
Danny Prater, a PETA spokesperson, reports that Duroc Cambodia, a pig breeding company in the Banteay Meanchey province, has been genetically modifying pigs to produce what it calls “double muscled” animals by editing a single gene. The goal was to create pigs with more and leaner meat. The result was monsters with massive muscles that look eerily human and huge testicles that did not. The company claims that out of the 32 pigs modified, only 13 lived to 18 months and only one reached adulthood healthy. However, their website shows many more muscular mutants than just one. They’re also selling artificial insemination kits, so the hog is already out of the bag. There’s no word on how the bacon, chops, hams or hocks taste. While it looks ominous, PETA should be happy. These scary pigs may keep more people from becoming butchers.
(Duroc)
Moving from hogs to hops, researchers at the Faculty of Fisheries and Protection of Water at South Bohemia University in Vodnany, Czech Republic, have provided the Provtin brewery with the first of its cyborg crayfish. The freshwater crustaceans (better known as crawfish or crawdads) are fitted with biosensors that monitor their movements and heartbeat while they crawl or swim inside of tanks holding water brought in to be used for beer-making. Crayfish respond rapidly to changes in the water, so deviations from their normal readings are quickly picked up and the water in a questionable tank is used instead for beer that is sold in the United States.
Just kidding. It’s either purified or dumped. Eventually, the cyborg crayfish are expected to be upgraded to carry tiny cameras that will watch for bored brewers trying to snatch a few for a lunch of beer and beer-battered crawfish … and probably inspect the insides of the water tanks at the same time.
While you get ready to dig into your BLT and glass of Czech ale, consider this … those extra-thick slices may be from a mutant hoginator and there was probably a crawfish swimming in your beer.
“Aliens were involved, without a doubt. This has been going for over 20 years and no one has offered any solutions.”
“Without a doubt,” says Julio Zurbirgk, a cattle rancher in General San Martin, a city just northwest of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Make that a very frustrated cattle rancher who, like others in Argentina, is tired, frustrated and fearful after over 20 years of mysterious cattle mutilations with no explanations or support from the government of one of the world’s leading beef-producing nations.
“They must remove the organs aboard the spacecraft, because there was nothing strange to be found around the animal. One can also see that they must throw the animals from their craft, because they land with their legs backward.”
Zurbirgk is describing to Argentine media the strange and sadly horrific state he recently found one of his black Aberdeen Angus cows in. A pregnant cow. A picture reveals that the cow’s eyes, tongue and jaw were removed with surgical precision, but did not show that the cow’s anus was also gone … but strangely not the health fetus that was near term.
While he saw nothing strange around the cow, Julio hesitated to approach his cow for a very good reason – his dogs were staying at least 50 meters away.:
“These cases are classic. I don’t know how dogs are aware of them and come no closer.”
Cattle mutilations have long been the bane of Argentine ranchers, but they’ve been on the increase since 2015. as a website devoted to tracking them attests. The photo-filled site ends with a mutilation in Tilisarao in central Argentina this past July. It will soon have another listing.
Is the prevalence of mysterious mutilations in Argentina because it has so many cattle, or could there be another, possibly alien, cause? Chuck Zukowski and Debbie Ziegelmeyer have been investigating cattle mutilations in the United States for years and their map of them shows a high concentration along the 37th parallel – a line through California, Nevada, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky and Virginia with an high number of cattle mutilations and enough UFO sightings to nickname it the UFO Highway. Their data and observations were detailed in a book, The 37th Parallel by Brad Mezrich, which is being made into a movie.
So, the obvious question is … where is the 37th Parallel South? Place your bets now.
Finished?
As you probably guessed, it runs through the middle of Argentina and many of the locations where cattle mutilations are clustered. Does the 37th Parallel South have the same concentration of UFO sightings and other paranormal activities? That sounds like another investigation for Zukowski and Ziegelmeyer.
In the meantime, the mutilations continue and the Argentine ranchers fume and shake their fists — first at the sky and then at the government..
Proof of Military UFO Coverup After a Published Data
Proof of Military UFO Coverup After a Published Data
The British Ministry of Defence (MoD) published a set of collected UFO data and activity. For some reasons, these documents were published in paper form, not digitized and can be seen only in person or purchased from the National Archives. Truth seekers were hoping that the files might solve some mysteries such as the Rendlesham Forest incident, Britain’s most famous UFO sighting. None of the published data gives any information about the Rendelsham Forest sightings, but one of them reveals some details about another famous British UFO encounter near the coastal town of Skegness on England’s east coast.
The sighting took place near The Wash, a bay and estuary in East Anglia. Image source: www.dailymail.co.uk
This radar/visual incident occurred in October 1996 at the height of an outbreak of UFO sightings in East Anglia and it is known as “Wash incident” or “Boston stump incident.” Police officers, residents and the crew of a nearby tanker saw the UFOs above the North Sea,at a bay Wash, south of Skegness and they described it as a a rotating disc with red and blue lights. They noticed the Royal Air Force (RAF), but the RAF report concluded that the radar imagery was caused by St Botolph’s church spire in Boston. The lights in The Wash area were harder to explain and were suggested to be ”a distant celestial source”. However, the explanations were presented as celestial objects and atmospheric distortion,but rejected by the witnesses.

Among the published documents is a letter written by an unnamed government official. It was presumed that it was written by Labour MP Martin Redmond to the former U.K. Defence Secretary, Michael Portillo and contains and explanation why RAF ignored the UFO and did not scramble aircraft for surveillance in spite of numerous radar and visual confirmations from law enforcement. However, it generated some questions about the way the sighting was dismissed by the U.K. military and government.
The letter says that Redmond is concerned about the incident that happened off the Anglian Coast raises which some issues since RAF supposed to keep an eye on this without knowing what was actually happening and without maybe having a standard procedure for these kind of occurances. They have had enough time, as the object was on our radar for seven hours!
Images of the newly-declassified documents, which are not yet in digital form
Although many conspiracy theorists claim this evidence is a cover up, the MoD’s official explanation that the radar signature away as the result of interference from a nearby church spire, could be considered as valid. It is possible that RAF have dissmissed the idea of this sighting because such a permanent radar echo used to happen in the past and they are already familiar with this occurances.
The RAF stated out that the witnesses, Skegness police, and a tanker crew could have mistaken Venus and various stars for a UFO. This statement could be valid, but not a satisfying answer. They all believe that more mysterious things have happened,but they can not be proven. At least,not for now.
After doing a research, scientists came up to a conclusion that there is at least one alien civilization in the galaxy that communicates with Earth in our galaxy through the Milky way.
Three American scientists Luis A. Anchordoqui, Susanna Weber and Jorge F. Soriano in an article published on the website of the University of Cornell, discussed the possibility of the existence of an alien civilization in the Milky Way Galaxy that communicates with humans.
Experts relied upon the Drake formula so that they could estimate the number of civilizations in our galaxy and according to their result, there is at least one extraterrestrial civilization that communicates with Earth through technology that could intercept or transmit radio emissions.
Moreover, scientists compare these planets where there are some potential civilizations with the rate of birth of heavenly bodies within the settled zone around their star.
Scientists agree on one potential thing, that the existence of the aliens is endagered by the powerful gamma ray bursts. Their note,however, will be verified with the help of TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) and JWST (James Webb Space Telescope).
This research is additionally complicated by the fact that the scientists have come up to,which is the small percentage of intelligent alien civilizations in the Milky Way,about 0.5% of the total number of alien civilizations that may exist in the Universe. This is also their explanation of having not found any aliens so far.
The discovery of other civilizations will only be sucessfull if the scientists discover more of Earth’s “twin” planets.
In the research paper the scientists note that a new data is needed so that they can understand better the occurrence of exoplanets in the habitable zone, the early star formation rate models and GRB phenomenology.
Finding new Earth-like planets has been a challenge since these planets produce weaker signals. The technology for detecting these kinds of planets has been developed for the next generation space telescopes. So, NASA’s next search for planets is through Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satelite (TESS).
The NASA roadmap will continue with the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) as well as with Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope – Astrophysics Focused Telescope Assets (WFIRST-AFTA) early in the next decade. The discovery of alien life will probably take some more time, but the search is on its way.
In 2016, scientists adapted the Drake Equation data with data from Nasa’s Kepler satellite on the number of exoplanets that could harbour life. Researchers also adapted the equation from being about the number of civilizations that exist now, to being about the probability of civilization being the only one that has ever existed.
The study shows that unless the odds of advanced life evolving on a habitable planet are astonishingly low, then humankind is not the only advanced civilization to have lived.
In fact, the odds of an advanced civilization developing need to be less than one in 10 billion trillion for humans to be the only intelligent life in the universe.
‘Earth Must be Warned!’ – Warned the French Woman Astronaut
‘Earth Must be Warned!’ – Warned the French Woman Astronaut
Claudie André-Deshays Haigneré has found herself at the center of an enormous mystery. In 2008, this talented and exceedingly clever French woman astronaut issued an insane warning to the general population of Earth in the wake of endeavoring to commit suicide. Nobody at the time realized what the warning implied and since Dr. Haigneré has recuperated she has declined to clarify the issue.
She was doing a research including human and alien DNA. Dr. Haigneré is considered an accomplished woman who has had a storied and multi-faceted career. She is a rheumatologist with a Ph.D. in neuroscience and sertificates in science, sports medicine, aviation and space medicinel. In 1993, she flew out to space for the first time and became the first European woman to visit the International Space Station alongside her husband who is a space traveler as well. After her travel in space, Dr. Haigneré entered French governmental issues and filled in as a minster for Research and New Technologies in the betwwen 2002 and 2004. In the period between 2014 and 2015 she was also the minister for European Affairs. In spite of her endeavors, while she was in office the financial plan for scientific research in France were cut. Baffled, she cut her political vocation off and went to work in a science lab at the prestigious Pasteur Institute.
Sources have announced that Dr. Haigneré’s work at the Pasteur Institute was of a somewhat recondite nature. Some have even asserted that she was working on reasearches including human and alien DNA. After a while at the Pasteur Institute, it was generally announced that Dr. Haigneré was taken to hospital after taking an overdose of sleeping pills. She was conscious when brought into the hospital, however coercively controlled as she battled against the doctors , shouting “Earth must be warned!” Right afterwards she fell into a coma.
Promptly after this, it was reported that there was a mysterious fire which has never been appropriately clarified by specialists at the Pasteur Institute. It has raised doubts that Dr. Haigneré ran over something pivotal and profoundly irritating throughout her examination. In any case, if so, Dr. Haigneré isn’t willing to talk openly about it any longer. She has pointed the finger at her suicide attempt on ‘burnout syndrome’ and has now proceeded onward to the directorship of the biggest science museum in Europe, the Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie.

WILL TRUTH ABOUT ALIENS SOON BE KNOWN? UFO SIGHTINGS TRIPLE IN JUST 16 YEARS
WILL TRUTH ABOUT ALIENS SOON BE KNOWN? UFO SIGHTINGS TRIPLE IN JUST 16 YEARS
THE number of reported UFO sightings across the United States has more than tripled since 2001, it has emerged.
The statistics are compiled in a new book written using the databases of two of the world’s biggest organisations dedicated to logging UFO and alien reportings and encounters across the globe.
“UFO Sightings Desk Reference,” written by Cheryl Costa, 65, and wife, Linda Miller Costa, 62, from Syracuse, New York, used 121,036 eyewitness accounts across the states recorded separately by the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) and the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) between 2001 and 2015 to chart the increase.
The book looks at the timing and location of incidents and types of UFOs seen which include flying circles, spheres, triangles, discs, ovals, and cigars.
According to Cheryl, a former military technician and aerospace analyst, and Linda, a librarian at Le Moyne College and a former librarian at the National Academy of Sciences, NASA and the Environmental Protection Agency, MUFON and NUFORC decided most sightings were explainable, but a small amount can still not be explained.
The key findings from the book were that overall numbers of UFO sightings more than tripled by 2015, from their average levels in 2001.
The book shows that US sightings grew from 3,479 reports in 2001 to 11,868 in 2015.
MUFON and NUFORC say just a fraction of all sightings make their way to them – so there are significantly more.
There is a growing “disclosure” movement in the US that believes that intelligent aliens visit Earth, and the government is not only aware of this, but covers it up.
Disclosure activists, such as Steve Bassett, who runs the Paradigm Research Group (PRG) campaign for an end to this so-called truth embargo.
Mr Bassett believes the fact there are so many more sightings now means the truth will soon come out as the White House will no longer be able to keep a lid on it.
He said: “With this compendium, Cheryl and Linda Costa have reminded the public and the media the extraterrestrial phenomenon continues unabated.”
Cheryl said the pair write the book because: “We wanted to do our bit for disclosure
“It’s something the government should have been doing.
“We’re doing scientific research. What’s crazy is not being willing to look at research.”
Their research found July is the busiest month for UFO sightings, but possibly because more people are outside.
There was a strange spike in sightings in Texas in 2008, and another in New Mexico in September 2015.
So what are their conclusions?
The pair say they have seen UFOs themselves, but draw no firm conclusions from studying the data.
Linda said: “We don’t know, but all these people are seeing these things.”
Sceptics argue that the rise in phone and digital cameras, is responsible for more alleged UFO pictures and videos emerging, and that sharing on social media, makes the subject more well known.
The rise in the use of drones of an array of shapes and sizes, is another explanation offered for the perceived rise in UFO activity.
If Space Aliens Are Looking Our Way, Here's What They Might See
If Space Aliens Are Looking Our Way, Here's What They Might See
Astronomers identify exoplanets that would give E.T. a good view of Earth.

We see them — but can they see us?
Robert Wells, a doctoral student in mathematics and physics at Queens University in Ireland, couldn’t get that question out of his mind.
In recent years, astronomers have discovered more than 2,500 planets orbiting other stars by observing the subtle dimming of light as these exoplanets pass in front of their host stars. Wells wondered if alien scientists on some distant world might be doing exactly same thing but in the opposite direction: pointing a telescope our way and noting the flickering of starlight caused by our very own Earth as it “transits” the sun.
Wells sifted through astronomical catalogs and identified nine known exoplanets in one of the celestial sweet spots from which an Earth transit would be visible.
Alas, it seems unlikely that any of these worlds could be home to alien skywatchers looking our way. Most are Jupiter-sized gas-ball worlds so hot that they’re unlikely to harbor life.
But it turns out there’s more to the story.
ALIGNMENT IS EVERYTHING
We can observe the transit of a faraway planet only if, by pure chance, it and its host sun are perfectly aligned with Earth — what Wells calls “a very low-probability alignment.” Statistically speaking, however, Wells knew there should be a whole crowd of relatively nearby planets in the sweet-spot regions — hundreds of them, probably — just not angled properly from our point of view. They could see us, but we can’t see them.

Even if the planets are aligned almost right, we could be missing out — staring past cozy, Earthlike exoplanets orbiting alongside those hot Jupiter-sized worlds. Unfortunately for any aliens, they face the exact same challenge. An E.T. astronomer might detect Jupiter while overlooking Earth entirely.
After crunching the numbers, Wells and his collaborators estimated that, in addition to the nine hot gas-ball worlds (and many more similarly unpromising neighbors), there are 10 potentially habitable worlds located where Earth would be visible to any aliens there using the kinds of telescopes and related equipment that we now use.
And experts say there’s no reason to assume that E.T.’s astronomy tools are as primitive as our own.
“An alien civilization is unlikely to be technological lock-step with us,” says David Kipping, a Columbia University astronomer who is known as a leading planet hunter. “Most likely they are either far less or far more technologically advanced. They may have used the transit method for a while but since moved on to more advanced techniques.”
If so, all bets are off about where Earth-spying aliens might be located. They could be watching us from any part of the sky. And depending on the level of their technology, they could know a fair bit about us.
Some scientists have speculated that extraterrestrials could detect industrial chemicals in Earth's atmosphere or the glow of artificial lights at night, revealing that our planet has a technological civilization. If the E.T.s are less than 100 light-years away, our radio broadcasts will have had time to reach them.
“And if the aliens have really huge optical telescopes, it’s conceivable they might see structures such as the highway systems or cities,” says Seth Shostak of the SETI Institute, which is dedicated to the search for intelligent life beyond Earth.
Astronomers here on this planet are working hard to achieve those kinds of capabilities. They’ve proposed building the Habitable Exoplanet Imaging Mission (HabEx) as a successor to the Hubble Space Telescope. With a mirror up to 32 feet across and specialized technology to single out the dim glow of distant planets, HabEx would be capable of detecting Earthlike worlds around nearby stars and scanning them for signs of water, as well as for potential indicators of life like oxygen and methane gas.
HabEx Vehicle - StarshadeJPL-Caltech
If approved by early next decade, HabEx could launch by the end of the 2030s.
At that point, humans, too, would be liberated from the limitations of transits, capable of finding Earthlike planets all around without relying on the luck of a happy alignment. Even then, though, there’s no guarantee that we’d be able to detect the same aliens who could already be looking at us. Maybe they don’t want to be found.
“Advanced civilizations would have no trouble cloaking even the very signatures of life on their planet from our current telescopes by using a simple laser system,” Kipping says. “Our remote-sensing abilities, impressive as they may seem, could be quite basic and easily thwarted.”
Someday, maybe, extraterrestrials really will make contact. But it may not happen until they like what they see.
Adyson Wright is a UFO researcher and operates a UFO research database.
(Laurel Andrews / Alaska Dispatch News)
NORTH POLE — A few years ago, Adyson Wright was told a story she couldn't believe.
A family member said he'd seen a UFO when he was about 12 years old, driving home one night with his aunt, uncle and brothers.
"As they were driving he sees three metallic saucers in the sky, following their car. His aunt was scared and apparently she floored it," said Wright, sitting in the study at her North Pole home on a recent fall afternoon.
"She gunned it home, crashed through the gate — a newly built gate at their fence, which bugged his parents apparently — and even ran inside and grabbed a shotgun and shot at them," Wright said. "And they zipped away, and that was it."
It was a pretty outrageous story, Wright said.
"My first thought was that he was just telling a tall tale. I said, like, 'there's no way you saw that,' " Wright said.
Wright — who studied environmental monitoring and worked as a forestry field technician before returning to school for computer network security — started doing some research. She says she fell down the rabbit hole.
"Sure enough, the more I tried to prove it didn't happen, the more I found proof that it probably did," Wright said.
Attempts to disprove a family story led to its own unexpected conclusion: the creation of an Alaska UFO research database, which Wright hopes will lend rigor to a field that she says is overlooked by scientific inquiry, and fraught with speculation and poor reporting.
On her website, Distributed UFO Research Repository, Alaska, Wright has been gathering cases, writing papers and coming up with projects to help expand knowledge about UFOs based around solid reporting.
Over the past two years, Wright has built up the website in her spare time, spending at least 15 hours a week on the project.
She's created what she says is a "case deliberation method" — a four-page event description with its own scoring system — to try to weed out reports of balloons, meteors, drones and everything else that passes overhead and might look spooky, but can be explained.
In her various databases, she's cataloged around 1,400 cases globally, ranging back to the 1800s. Of those, around 150 are what she considers "usable," where the anomalies outweigh normal explanation.

Witness accounts that can be verified through instrumentation, like radar, are the most interesting to Wright.
"A lot of people think photographs are the smoking gun evidence, but considering the phenomenon and how difficult it is, how rare it is to observe, radar and spectral analysis and stuff like that is the best information we have," Wright said.
In June, Wright wrote an analysis of Alaska sightings, comparing them to other areas, and found that, unlike many places, Alaskans report seeing UFOs more in the winter than summer.
For her next project, Wright is hoping to get in touch with people working at rural airports. Pilots and air traffic controllers are some of the most reliable witnesses. So she's sending out letters to dozens of airports to "get closer to the communities and compile as many sightings as I can," Wright said.
At home in her study,a telescope sits by the window. Wright says she's always been a "space nut."
Adyson Wright, Fairbanks UFO researcher, has a collection of UFO magazines from different eras. The is the Northern UFO News from 1999.
But what are UFOs? There are plenty of theories — aliens, time travelers, military technology. Some are more outlandish than others. Wright isn't betting on any of them.
"Speculation only gets you so far in this," Wright said.
"The only theory I've subscribed to is that (UFOs)are anomalous and worth studying," she said.
One case she finds interesting is a video taken by Fairbanks man Jared Augustine last year. He was working his shift as a security officer outside of the Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center when, around 3 a.m., he noticed a blinking light in the sky.
He saw something drop from the light, so he pulled out his cellphone. His video recorded what appears to be a separate circle drop two more times from the blinking light, around minute 1 and 2:30.
Wright likes this video because it shows apparently anomalous behavior — a second light seemingly emanating from the first — which mirrors other UFO sightings from past decades, and defies many conventional explanations.
Could it be a drone? It's "one of a few likely explanations," Wright wrote in an email later. She said she reached out to organizations that might have had a drone out in the sky that night, but with no success.
Augustine says Wright reached out to him about a month after he posted his video on YouTube. He's happy she's doing the research. Scientific study is "better than tin foil hats," he said.
His YouTube video made some waves when it was first published; he was contacted by a couple of media groups.

"A lot of people say that it's fake, but that's why I left it up to them," Augustine said of his video.
Regardless, the video has become an interesting study among Wright's research. And overall, her projects have taken some mystery out of the bizarre things people see in the sky.
"Now I have an explanation for everything and nothing is strange to me. But it sure is exciting when I pull up a good case," Wright said.
Kneeling on his living-room floor, Edwin Fuhr reaches beneath a TV cabinet decorated with angel statues and family photos to insert a VHS tape into his video cassette recorder.
It shows Fuhr smoking a cigarette as he looks over a collection of photos scattered on a kitchen table. They’re intriguing images of strange circular patterns on a field — remnants of Fuhr’s sighting of what he believes were UFOs. Interviews with Fuhr are all over the Internet, but not this one, circa 1988.
A province away, at his Winnipeg home, retired Mountie Ron Morier also has a keepsake from the time when he and Fuhr and a small Saskatchewan town became an international sensation. “UFO Incident: Langenburg, Sask. Sept 1, 1974,” reads the cover of Morier’s black binder.
Lifting that cover feels like opening a secret document that should be stamped “classified” in bold, red letters. It contains a police report, newspaper clippings, faded photographs and letters from scientists with the Canadian government.
Morier jokingly calls it his X-File, a fitting nod to the sci-fi TV show that often focused on aliens, UFOs and the paranormal. It’s a treasure trove any UFO aficionado would covet.

A business card in the binder bears the name Dr. J. Allen Hynek, hinting at just how seriously the “incident” was taken. One of the UFO field’s most famous researchers, Hynek worked as a scientific consultant for a U.S. government initiative called project Blue Book, investigating UFO phenomena. Hynek weighed in on the Langenburg event in the media, even reportedly sending a representative to study the site, about 230 kilometres northeast of Regina.
First told before the World Wide Web or even VHS tapes, Fuhr’s story today endures in corners of the Net dedicated to UFOs and extra-terrestrial life. A video interview with him on YouTube five years ago had a resurgence in popularity after taking off on the website Reddit. It’s had more than 20,000 views.
And yet, some of the story’s most interesting parts remain strictly analog, existing only in the possession of two men forever linked to the strange event.
There are no concrete answers for what happened on Fuhr’s farm 43 years ago. Just a tantalizing story told by a Saskatchewan farmer, and the RCMP officer who believed him.
A close encounter of the second kind
Seeing a UFO up close is an incredibly rare experience. Most people just see lights in the sky, but Fuhr got closer.
Around 10:30 a.m. on Sept. 1, 1974, the then 36-year-old was swathing his fields when he saw five saucer-shaped objects on the edge of a slough.
Thinking they were duck blinds and that someone was playing a joke on him, Fuhr got off of his swather for a closer look, but still kept at least 15 feet back. He says the saucers were hovering a foot off the ground and rotating at a high rate of speed. Their surface looked like highly-polished steel.
Fuhr stopped, backed up and got on his swather. He sat there for the next 15 minutes watching them hover, too scared to move.
“They had me in a trance,” says Fuhr, now 79. “I didn’t even know what to do, cause I sat there and I thought, ‘Well gee whiz.’ ”
According to Fuhr, the objects then took off — emitting a grey vapour from underneath — and disappeared into the sky. They made no sound. The objects flew away so fast that they were gone “like that,” says Fuhr, clapping his hands.
He waited a few more minutes to make sure they were gone, then walked to the edge of the slough where he saw five ring patterns in the field. The grass in the centre of each circle was standing, while the grass surrounding that was flattened in a clockwise circle.
With no idea what he had just seen, Fuhr headed home home for lunch. His wife Karen and his parents could tell something was wrong.
“When he came in he just sat there,” remembers Karen. “All of the sudden we asked him, ‘Is there something wrong?’ And … well then he started telling us.”
The Langenburg incident came at the tail end of a golden age for UFO sightings, when reports of seeing physical craft had tapered off.
Even more tantalizing, the Langenburg UFOs — if that’s what they were — had left behind a physical trace, the circles. This classifies the sighting as a close encounter of the second kind.

Investigating the landing site
Later that night, Ron Morier, then a 27-year-old RCMP constable, got a phone call at the Langenburg detachment.
Fuhr’s brother-in-law Carl Zorn asked if the police had fielded any UFO reports. Zorn had heard of Fuhr’s experience in a phone call. Although the cop and the in-law were skeptical, both men thought there was little reason to think Fuhr would make up such a tale.
“He’s the last guy in the world that would. I mean he was a teetotaller. He’s a churchgoer, a very quiet, shy man,” says Morier.
He decided to check it out. Being an RCMP officer in small-town Saskatchewan in the 1970s, he had time. Morier and his colleagues provided what he wistfully refers to as “gold-plated policing.” No job was too small.
“Back in those days, anytime anybody approached us about anything, we responded,” says Morier.
A photo that Ron Morier took of the crop circles in Edwin Fuhr’s farm near Langenburg in 1974.
The next day, he checked out the markings in Fuhr’s field. What caused them? Morier still doesn’t know to this day.
Five circles fit with the same five objects Fuhr saw. Morier’s report says the flattened portion of the circles was approximately 18 inches. The total diameter of two of the circles was 12 feet, while the other three were 10.5 feet.
There was no physical evidence in the area that would indicate someone had driven in and made the circles.
“Whatever made those impressions in his slough there came from the sky and left the same way,” says Morier.
Fuhr was the only person at the farm who saw the UFOs. Despite how fantastic the story was, Morier could not come up with a reason why this quiet farmer would make it up.
“He is a responsible person, and his information is considered reliable,” wrote Morier in his report.
He doesn’t think Fuhr was seeking fame, or even wanted his brother-in-law to tell police about it.
“Why would he want thousands of people coming to his little place there and trampling all over his yard and his fields and all of that?” asks Morier.
The fire in the field
Once the story got picked up by the media, thousands of people flocked to Fuhr’s farm. He says cars were lined up “bumper to bumper” along the road from his farm to Langenburg.
It couldn’t have come at a worse time.
It was harvest time, and people were literally getting in the way of the family’s work. Tourists, UFO enthusiasts and onlookers from all over were trying to get to the site and to Fuhr.
“They were chasing us down in the middle of the field,” he recalls, saying some drove right in front of his combine.
“My brother was getting upset and dad was getting upset,” says Fuhr. “I said, ‘What the heck am I supposed to do?’ ”
He says a plane carrying Australians who wanted to see the site even landed on a field adjacent to his farm.
Hoping to deter onlookers, Fuhr’s father finally set fire to the grass surrounding the slough where the circles were. It didn’t help though, as markings were still visible on the ground. Fuhr thinks they may have been made by legs stretching out from the UFOs.
The phone at the family’s home was also tied up with people from all over the world calling Fuhr. He says one call came from the first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong. The two-hour conversation, Fuhr says, involved Armstrong telling Fuhr that astronauts saw UFOs when travelling through space, but were told not to divulge that to the public.
“He said ‘It’s real all right.’ ”
Asked about the possibility of people making crank calls, Fuhr says the conversation convinced him it was indeed Armstrong.
Fuhr never began turning people away, or refusing to pick up the phone. He shrugs, and says he accepted that people were interested.
“I couldn’t do nothing about it. You know how people are,” he says. “Once the public finds out there’s something out there, they’ll all come out and see.”
A farmer made famous
Fuhr and his wife now live a quiet life in a bungalow in Langenburg. He retired from farming in 1989 and runs a landscaping and snow blowing business. To keep his mind occupied, Fuhr does carpentry in his spare time.
And he also enjoys reading books about UFOs.
Some of those books even mention Fuhr’s story, one of North America’s most famous UFO encounters. It was even featured on a History Channel documentary about UFOs. A cheesy dramatization of the sighting was made, with an actor playing Fuhr sitting on what looked more like a backhoe than a swather.
The setting for the video is a poor backdrop for Saskatchewan, with hills and trees in the background rather than fields. When the actor playing Morier arrives on scene, he’s wearing the stereotypical red serge, dress uniform of the RCMP — definitely not what he wore for daily duties.
Fuhr still gets the odd phone call from people curious about his encounter. He’s taken no pains to make himself hard to find, and is happy to oblige anyone who calls and wants to hear the story he’s told countless times.
“To me, it don’t matter. I’ll talk to anybody. If they want the story, I’ll tell them the story.”
He’s friendly, funny, welcoming — and still in surprisingly good spirits about the attention.
The land where the sighting happened still gets its share of visitors. It’s now farmed by Fuhr’s nephew, who tells those searching for the famous site that he has no idea what they’re talking about.
“He doesn’t want nothing to do with it,” says Fuhr.

The most he ever got for sharing his story was a complimentary breakfast from CTV when visiting the studio for an interview. And that’s all right with him. Asked about ever making money from his story, he tilts his head, ponders the prospect, but then shrugs it off.
“To me it don’t matter. It’s out, the story’s out long already.”
Fuhr doesn’t give much thought to his status as a UFO celebrity. “If I had to think about all that I think I’d go bananas,” says Fuhr.
He is so humble about the experience, he doesn’t even like to take credit for it. “It was not my doings. It’s somebody from outer space that’s doing it, not me,” says Fuhr. “I’m a spectator just as well as all the rest are.”
Saskatchewan’s own Fox Mulder
After the Langenburg incident, Morier took his share of ribbing from his colleagues, who sometimes called him Mulder, after the X-Files investigator.
But it never negatively affected his career in the RCMP, which was extensive.
Morier became a composite artist and also trained to reconstruct the facial features of unidentified deceased people using sculpting techniques. During the rise of the computer, he worked on the RCMP’s initiative to begin doing composite sketches digitally.
A photo of Ron Morier from circa 1974.
After retiring from the RCMP with 27 years of service, he travelled all over the U.S. while working as a consultant on the TV show America’s Most Wanted. His last job was teaching at the Northwest Law Enforcement Academy in Winnipeg for 14 years.
Morier occasionally grants interview requests from the media or UFO researchers. But he knows they will inevitably lead to more phone calls.
“I don’t know why I do it cause I know it’s going to come back and bite me in the ass again,” he says.
Years ago, Morier was contacted by an engineer from Japan who wanted to learn more about the sighting. While the subject is a hotbed for conspiracy theories, every person who reached out to him seemed legitimate.
“I didn’t talk to any kooks, I don’t think.”
Morier has never tried to hide from the event. If anything, he’s preserved it with his binder.
“I’m a bit of a collector that way. I’ve got lots of old reports and stuff,” says Morier.
One of the most precious items in the binder is a handwritten letter from the National Research Council to Fuhr. Dated Oct. 4, 1974, just over a month after Fuhr’s sighting, the letter explains how scientists have been unable to find any evidence that aliens landed in Fuhr’s farm, and asks for more samples.
The NRC says it no longer possesses any research on the Langenburg incident. Only one brief record acknowledging Fuhr’s sighting exists at the Library Archives of Canada.
Morier has no ill feelings about the Langenburg incident, or its persistence to keep popping up in his life. He still has fond memories of policing the small community.
“To be honest with you it was the best time of my life,” says Morier.
A page from Ron Morier’s RCMP report on Edwin Fuhr’s UFO sighting near Langenburg in 1974.
I want to believe
Fuhr is convinced what he saw that day was extraterrestrial.
Over the years, he has taken an interest in the subject of UFOs, and is well read on the subject. He refers to government cover-ups, Roswell and popular theories that aliens may be concerned about global conflicts on Earth.
No scientific investigation has ever found evidence that alien craft landed at Fuhr’s farm. There were no other witness reports. The truth comes down to Fuhr.
Edwin Fuhr, a retired farmer, recalls his a close encounter with several UFOs while swathing in his field in the 1970s. His story made international news and is one of the most documented UFO cases in history Canadian history. Fuhr stands in a field near where the encounter was.
Whether his recent YouTube interview, or footage from the old VHS interview in 1988, most of the details are remarkably similar. The fact he has kept it so consistent over the years is one of things that makes it so compelling for Winnipeg-based science writer Chris Rutkowski.
“You’d think that after all these years he might want to embellish the story, but he tends to tell the same story over and over again. The story as of late hasn’t developed into glowing green goo and aliens with almond-shaped eyes and that type of thing,” says Rutkowski, who publishes an annual survey on UFO reports in Canada. “It’s a very straight story, so it’s compelling to think that this probably really did happen as he describes it.”
But is it proof enough?

“I guess the assumption is if it’s not ours, whose is it? But on the other hand we just don’t have the proof to make that quantum jump to say this definitely was proof of alien visitation in Langenburg,” says Rutkowski.
The story was compelling enough to be taken seriously by the federal government. Grass and soil samples were sent to the upper atmosphere research branch of the National Research Council, but no conclusions could ever be drawn.
The scientists were intrigued by a black substance found as a precipitate, especially in a sample that was taken from one of the rings that appeared to be burned. The sample was sent to Simon Fraser University for x-ray fluorescence analysis, but no conclusions could be drawn.
Fuhr doesn’t really care who believes or doesn’t. People have been telling him since the 1970s that it was all in his head.
“I had a guy from Quebec come out, and he figures I was smoking pot,” says Fuhr.
But to this day, Morier still believes Fuhr is being honest about what he saw.
“Why would he just out of the blue make this up?’” says the former officer.
The media ran with Morier’s findings, and in some cases used them as confirmation that flying saucers had landed. A headline from a newspaper in Newfoundland read “RCMP officer convinced UFOs were real.”
While Morier believes Fuhr to be truthful, he doesn’t believe in UFOs or little green men. The uncertainty of the Langenburg incident frustrated Morier because as intriguing as it was, it didn’t yield any answers.
“It bugged me a little that it didn’t confirm or not confirm that they do exist,” he says. “I still don’t know.”
Morier notices Fuhr seems more outspoken in his interviews now than the quiet farmer he knew. He commends him for sticking to his story.
“Good on him. He’ll never know and we’ll never know I guess,” says Morier.
“But boy that would’ve been quite an experience that day to see what he saw.”
Peruvian archaeologists are tired of debunking claims of extraterrestrial influence on human history. In 1968, Swiss author Erich von Däniken’s Chariots of the Gods? introduced the mainstream to the theory that the Nazca Lines, the massive geoglyphs in Southern Peru whose shapes are fully visible only from the air, were landing strips for “ancient astronauts.” Archaeologists calmly disagree, positing that they were astronomical designs that turned the desert itself into an observatory, or counter constellations matching the dark spaces in the Milky Way, or, more abstractly, cosmological figures meant to be seen by skyward deities, of which ancient Peru had many. 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull put a new spin on this old tale, including, for good measure, the large-skulled aliens that pepper North American abduction stories.
Now, Peruvian scientists are furious at a new and possibly pernicious permutation of the “ancient astronaut” theory. A web series named Unearthing Nazca purports to depict the investigation of a pre-Columbian and “humanoid” mummy. Archaeologists, who have been denied access to the mummy, worry that it is as old as the series’ creators claim, but that it is actually indigenous and Andean—a real human individual that has been mutilated to look like an alien. They worry that Unearthing Nazca is an archaeological snuff film in disguise.
The series’ success is also of concern. Since the series’ launch in June by Gaia.com—a website specializing in “conscious media, yoga, and more”—the teaser episode of Unearthing Nazca has been viewed 2.35 million times on YouTube alone. It starts with what at first seems to be a typical seated Peruvian mummy, arms wrapped around its knees, like a child waiting for its parent. Its head is elongated like those of other pre-Columbian mummies, whose societies artificially shaped their children’s crania to achieve ideals of beauty or represent group belonging.
“Maria,” the “humanoid” mummy from the Gaia.com web series Unearthing Nazca(Screenshot from Gaia.com)
The resemblance ends there. A Hans Zimmer-esque score throbs, and a Russian-accented expert in “bioelectrography”—who elsewhere claims to have photographed the human soul escaping the body after death—declares the mummy “one of the most important discoveries of the 21st century.” The camera orbits the mummy, revealing that it has only three long fingers on each hand and three long toes on each foot. Its elongated head has no nose, no ears, and large, heavy-lidded eyes. And its skin is an eerie, powdery white.
The video’s experts stop short of the A-word, letting a series of vest-wearing and white coat-clad “experts” claim that x-rays, CT scans, and DNA and carbon-14 tests of the mummy’s flesh reveal that this new “humanoid” or “organic creature,” whom they have dubbed “Maria,” is no fraud. To learn more, viewers were initially encouraged to watch the rest of the investigation behind Gaia’s paywall.
The English- and Spanish-language tabloids and YouTube channels that cover the “discovery” reliably fill in the blanks, guarding journalistic integrity with scare quotes: “The ‘Alien’ Mummies of Nazca,” trumpeted The Sun in mid-July, when the mummy’s most prominent promoter, a Mexican “ufologist” and TV personality named Jaime Maussan, produced photographic and x-ray “proof” of at least four additional more “reptilian” “humanoid” bodies.
Because of course: What else could they be?
* * *
Human beings, and indigenous ones to boot.
In 2015, Maussan tried to promote a photographic slide from the late 1940s that, he hinted, depicted the corpse of an alien child found in the American Southwest. More skeptical ufologists applied de-blurring technology to the “Roswell Slide” when it was released, and found that a previously undecipherable placard next to the body revealed that it was actually the mummy of a two-year-old Puebloan boy removed from the cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde in 1894. Returned to a National Park museum in 1938, the boy was repatriated to a local tribe in 2015. Incredibly, Maussan then offered $10,000 for information that might permit the Puebloan boy’s “location and recuperation.”
This inclusion of pre-Columbian Peruvians in science’s supposed cover-up of extraterrestrials echoes the previous collection and study of the indigenous dead. In the 19th century, Anglo-American and European craniologists and scholars who came upon artificially molded skulls in Peruvian tombs hypothesized that they were either the undeformed remnants of a lost and civilized people they named the “Ancient Peruvians,” or artificial deformations of later peoples inspired by those Ancient Peruvians’ natural forms. Archaeologists came to realize that “deformed” Peruvian skulls were bound and shaped from infancy, when cranial bones weren’t yet fused—with no change to cranial capacity and, judging from the monumental societies their elites achieved, without handicap to cognitive ability. But ufology’s rise after the “Roswell incident” of 1947 has resurrected the search for secret ancestors—and its less responsible practitioners have re-enlisted ancient Peruvian skulls as evidence of the presence of large-skulled “Gray Aliens.” They speculate that Peru’s greatest pre-Columbian achievements—including Machu Picchu, according to a theory aired on the History channel program Ancient Aliens—are literally out of this world, the product of a superior, extraterrestrial “race” or their borrowed technology.

The use of the word “race” is telling, as it suggests how the repurposing of older, European collections of non-European bodies and research upon them can reproduce old and debunked theories of racial deficiency: that indigenous Peruvians, in particular, could not have built such advanced, monumental societies on their own. (“Ancient astronaut” theorists claim evidence of extraterrestrial inspiration worldwide, but only indigenous Americans see their bodies and achievements remade as only explicable by alien presence.) From the 18th century on, Northern Europeans have accused the Spanish of exaggerating or misidentifying the origins of the Incas’ achievements. Alexander von Humboldt asserted that the first Incas were actually Chinese. Inca embalming of their dead was attributed instead to natural mummification by the elements or to the diffusion of Egyptian knowledge.
With the rise of specifically racialized science in the 19th and 20th centuries, evidence for Native American otherness was sought in the ancient Peruvians’ very bones. In the 1920s, one German scholar and future SS officer would seek confirmation that the Andes’ most megalithic cultures were actually Aryan or Atlantean, and that their elongated skulls were of a higher, Northern European race. More dismissively, earlier scholars took ancient Peruvian skulls’ distinctive size, shape, and possession of unique interparietal bones as evidence of a similarity to rodents and marsupials, a contradiction that undercut their attributed civilization. In his great assault on racial bias in the scientific estimation of intelligence, The Mismeasure of Man (1981), Stephen Jay Gould famously claimed that the Philadelphia craniologist Samuel George Morton had “plummeted” the average size of Indian skulls in his collection by including a “major overrepresentation of an extreme group—the small-brained Inca Peruvians.”

Archaeology and museums have come a long way in their study and portrayal of an indigenous past in which Peruvians are proud, and conversations about the repatriation or more ethical study of the indigenous American dead are ongoing. (Simultaneous to Unearthing Nazca’s release, there was massive attendance at a new and decidedly non-extraterrestrial show on the Nazca culture at the Lima Museum of Art.) Gould’s use of Morton as an illustration of racial bias in science has also beendebated—Morton actually used a grouped mean of the groups included among his “Americans,” controlling for the Peruvians’ greater presence so that their inclusion would not plummet the average.
Nevertheless, Unearthing Nazca is support for Gould’s larger warning against describing non-European bodies as deficient, abnormal, or non-human. The Internet in particular has provided a platform for claims of Peruvian skulls’ alien or alt-hominid abnormality that rely on the repetition of old scholarship without grappling with the racist presumptions behind the very metrics they used. Proponents of the idea that elongated Peruvian skulls were naturally occurring, for example, haveembraced the work of Morton and his cohort, such as the Swiss author who compared the ancient Peruvians to marsupials. It also shows how zombified racial science—even when it claims not to be about race—might abuse actual human bodies.
It was for this reason that Unearthing Nazca broke Peruvian archaeologists’ studious reserve. The trouble began late last year, when the Peruvian YouTuber Paul Ronceros got local media to cover an earlier “alien” or “reptilian” mummy and separated three-fingered hand from Nazca, which he claimed were discovered by interested parties other than himself. At some point Ronceros brought that hand and the first “mummy” to a series of museums, including the natural history museum at Lima’s University of San Marcos, the oldest university in the hemisphere. According to that museum’s head of vertebrate paleontology, Rodolfo Salas-Gismondi—who is also an investigator affiliated with the American Museum of Natural History in New York—Ronceros changed his story when challenged on the obvious fabrication, claiming that it instead was a pre-Columbian “representation” of alien life, made of a mixture of animal and human bones. Around this time, Maussan and fellow international UFO “experts” got involved, declaring that the mummies in question—they kept multiplying—were fabrications, possibly ancient, but that others were “genuine, non-human biological remains.”
That archaeological human bones may have been used to mount Ronceros’s “reptile” mini-mummy and its accompanying hand was bad enough. But Peruvian scientists held their fire in public until June, when Unearthing Nazcarevealed the previously un-photographed “Maria,” whose dramatic resemblance to actual Peruvian mummies—down to an almost anatomically correct CT scan—suggested that she wasn’t a pastiche of animal and human bones, but an actual pre-Columbian Andean, looted and remade for the sake of a hoax.
From the x-rays of the mummified hands featured on Unearthing Nazca, Salas-Gismondi has proposed that they were part of a pre-Columbian mummy that was subsequently mutilated—two fingers or toes cut from each extremity and redeployed to augment the number of falanges in the remaining three digits to conform to our alien pop culture stereotypes. Its skeletal extremities, Salas-Gismondi observes, are otherwise identical to that of a human being with five fingers, which “makes no evolutionary sense.” To complete the package of “Maria,” her nose and ears may have been sliced away from what was either an unsurprisingly elongated head, or were left off of a recently fabricated one. Evidence of all alterations could easily be covered up with the white, plastery powder that the talking heads on Unearthing Nazca claim is a desiccant. The benefit of using an actual mummy is that the body may be probed for samples of actual pre-Columbian flesh, as some face-masked participants in Unearthing Nazca are seen to be doing in the name of “carbon-14 and DNA testing.” The “experts” later declare that those tests reveals that the mummy was a 1,600–1,800 year-old female “humanoid”—results that have not been verified by outside parties.

Maria’s guardians have not let her be examined by established mummy experts. In late June, Peru’s Ministry of Culture announced that it was investigating the possibility that the composition of the mummies were the product of looting. And in July, the organizers of last year’s World Congress on Mummy Studies in Lima—Peru’s actual experts on pre-Columbian remains—denouncedUnearthing Nazca, calling upon Peruvian authorities to investigate, find, and prosecute the mummies’ apparent makers for violating Peru’s laws against trafficking in pre-Columbian human remains, which are considered Peruvian cultural patrimony. The Congress’s organizers were particularly galled by the possibility that this assault upon the dignity of an actual pre-Columbian mummy bolstered believers—even in Peru—that Andean culture and achievements owed to “outside help.”
These Peruvian archaeologists and bio-anthropologists have been careful not to say who they believe is responsible for the suspected fraud; the experts on Gaia.com are likewise careful to say that “Maria” was “discovered” by “Mario,” a pseudonymous third party. When reached for comment, Gaia.com’s media representatives say that the organization has only investigated and reported “on facts related to artifacts presented to us,” and “arranged for independent testing including carbon-14 and DNA sequencing.” The on-camera experts involved in the investigation have apparently not been paid, and Gaia.com has never been “in possession of any artifacts.” During this story’s reporting, the paywall for the rest of the episodes of Unearthing Nazca was lowered, releasing them to the open web and possibly helping Gaia answer the charge that it continues to profit from an unraveling story.
But Peru’s mummy experts remain frustrated. In mid-July, one of Peru’s most respected bio-anthropologists, Elsa Tomasto-Cagigao, agreed to debate Maussan and another member of his team—a Mexican naval surgeon whose claims to be a forensic anthropologist have not checked out—live on Peruvian TV.
Maussan took the opportunity to claim that he and his colleagues were being defamed; that they never said it was an ‘extraterrestrial’; that they only sought the truth on whether or not it was a “human being.” But Tomasto-Cagigao wasn’t having it. She laid out the case clearly, patiently, unflappably, observing that no one in Peru’s actual scientific community of mummy experts had been consulted or had seen “Maria” or the actual x-rays other than what was flashed on Unearthing Nazca or in Maussan’s “press conferences.”
“And if they present them tomorrow?” asks the host.
“I’ll eat a cockroach, live, with mayonnaise,” Tomasto-Cagigao replied. “It is not just grave-robbing … Peruvian law says that to extract, alter, or manipulate cultural patrimony without the permission of the state is a crime.”
The interviewer tries to break in.
“I’m not saying that they did it,” she adds, refusing to look at the Unearthing Nazca experts, whose latest episode investigates a mummified pre-Columbian infant whose tiny hands and feet have, or were made to have, three fingers.

SETI Scientist Bets Everyone a Cup of Coffee That We’ll Find Intelligent Life in 20 Years
IN BRIEF
A senior astronomer at the SETI Institute believes we are just decades away from confirming the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life.
THE SEARCH FOR LIFE
The Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute has spent decades researching and exploring the mysterious, and often unexplained, phenomena of our universe. The enduring hope being that the search will help us confirm that there is, in fact, life out there. In an interview with Futurism at the Worlds Fair Nano NY, Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer at the SETI Institute, discussed where we currently are in the search for intelligent extraterrestrial life. He began by boldy stating that he “bet everybody a cup of coffee that we’ll find intelligent life within 20 years.”
When asked what science has to say currently about the existence of aliens, Shostak said, “Very little — because we haven’t found any.” Shostak went on to say that while we may not have found evidence confirming extraterrestrial life yet, what we have discovered about our universe, say, over the last 20 years, has not been insignificant. In fact, those findings might mean a lot to our search. One thing we know now that we didn’t know decades ago is that there’s a lot of unexplored cosmic real estate out there.
LIFE BEYOND EARTH
Shostak went on to discuss the likelihood and nature of discovering alien life somewhere out there in the as yet uncharted parts of our universe: “We may find microbial life — the kind you’d find in the corners of your bathtub. We may find that a lot sooner, but that remains to be seen. But it’s gonna happen, I think, in your lifetime.”
While Shostak is confident that, not just eventually but relatively soon, we will discover the existence of extraterrestrial intelligent life, making “contact” may not go quite according to what we would imagine. What decades of science fiction would have us believe it would be like. “I don’t know about contact,” Shostak said. “I mean if they’re 500 light years away. . .you’ll hear a signal that’ll be 500 years old, and if you broadcast back ‘Hi we’re the Earthlings, how’re you doing?’ — it’ll be 1,000 years before you hear back from them. If you ever hear back from them. So, it’s not exactly contact, but at least you know they’re there.”
