Massive butterfly migration seen on radar
Massive butterfly migration seen on radar
By CLAYTON SANDELL
Migrating butterflies appear in Denver
On their radar, National Weather Service meteorologists in Boulder could see it coming.
They just weren’t sure what “it” was. The mysterious red and purple blobs began appearing on radar screens, stretching at least 100 miles across the Denver area.
“The radar started to light up right after sunrise and that whole mass just started to move over Denver, all flying in the same direction, kind of floating with the light winds that day,” Paul Schlatter, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Boulder, told ABC News.
Thinking it might be migrating birds, the weather service tweeted out a radar animation of what they were seeing, asking bird experts for advice.
“It needed to be a lot of butterflies in the area for sure to generate that much of a signal. Especially across that broad an area,” Schlatter said.
Schlatter said that while NWS meteorologists are used to seeing birds on their radar, butterflies and insects are relatively rare.

The orange-and-black butterflies, which are known as painted ladies, were passing through Colorado on their annual migration south before the winter months.
Schlatter said the flock of butterflies appeared to be at least 100 miles wide, noting that radar may not have picked up the entire mass migration because its signal eventually drops off due to the curvature of the earth.

A painted lady butterfly flies near daisies in a garden in downtown Denver, Oct. 4, 2017.
Lepidopterist Sarah Garrett with the Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster, Colorado, says there are two competing explanations for the population boom.
The butterflies are either in the process of migrating from colder climates in the north to places like Arizona, New Mexico, and northern Mexico, she says. Or, she says they might just be moving from higher mountain elevations down into the Denver area.
“In either case, what they’re doing is following their food source,” Garrett tells ABC.
The butterflies also got a boost this past spring. Warm temperatures arrived early in the season, and lots of rainfall helped feed the flowery plants butterflies seek.
“More plants mean more caterpillars,” Garrett said. “So they got a head start. They started reproducing much earlier than normal.”
Garrett says she’s seen radar images capturing butterflies before, but never before in Denver.
“To me this is super-cool, but to see other people get excited about it is really what makes it for me,” she said.
DIERENThe National Weather Service in Boulder keek vreemd op toen ze mysterieuze rode en paarse klodders zagen op hun radarbeelden. Migrerende vogels misschien? Nee. Wel een massale vlindermigratie.
“De radar lichtte op vlak na zonsopgang en de hele massa bewoog over Denver, in dezelfde richting, een beetje zwevend op de lichte wind die dag”, vertelt meteoroloog Paul Schlatter van de National Weather Service aan ABC News. Al snel werd duidelijk dat het niet om vogels ging, maar om vlinders, die in een gigantische hoeveelheid samentroepten. Verschillende bewoners hadden de veelkleurige natuurpracht zien voorbijtrekken.
Het ging concreet om een 110 kilometer brede golf vol ‘painted lady butterflies’ of ook distelvlinders, die doorheen Colorado trokken op hun jaarlijkse migratie voor de gure wintermaanden. “Het moeten er ongelofelijk veel zijn geweest in dat gebied om zo’n stevig signaal te genereren”, aldus Schlatter.
Hoe komt het dat het om zo’n aanzienlijke hoeveelheid ging? “De vlinders hebben een serieuze boost gekregen afgelopen lente”, legt lepidopterist Sarah Garrett uit. “Warme temperaturen vroeg in het seizoen en veel regenval hebben de bloemrijke planten die vlinders zoeken helpen voeden. Meer planten betekent meer rupsen. Dus ze hebben een goede start gekregen. Ze konden veel vroeger dan normaal beginnen reproduceren.”

De distelvlinder is een trekvlinder en komt over de hele wereld voor. Bij ons is de vlinder te zien vanaf mei tot oktober, stelt Natuurpunt.

MEERDERE UFO'S GESIGNALEERD VLAKBIJ SCHIETPATIJ LAS VEGAS ( VIDEO )
MEERDERE UFO'S GESIGNALEERD VLAKBIJ SCHIETPATIJ LAS VEGAS ( VIDEO )
Het zou natuurlijk louter toeval kunnen zijn dat enkele uren voor de fatale schietpartij in Las Vegas er UFO's werden gesignaleerd heel dicht in de buurt.
En aangezien ook de elite beschikt over een geheime ruimtevloot en UFO technologie weet je nooit zeker of ze buitenaards zijn of heel erg aards en misschien zelfs onderdeel vormen van de aanslag.
Op de beruchte zondagavond (1 oktober 2017) dat de slachtpartij plaatsvond voor het Mandalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas, gebeurden er nog een aantal merkwaardige dingen in de lucht en wel in de buurt van het River Mountain Water Treatment Facility in Henderson, een voorstad van Las Vegas.
Enkele uren vóór de fatale schietpartij werd op bovengenoemd punt de volgende UFO waargenomen. Het gaat om het grote blauwe licht, het witte behoort toe aan een landend vliegtuig.
Ook de dag erna verschenen er wederom vreemde lichten. De maker van de video, Steven Barone, was die ochtend op onderzoek uitgegaan naar de plek waar hij op 1 oktober de UFO had waargenomen, maar het is daar een verlaten gebied met een paar huizen en verder de eerder genoemde waterzuiveringsinstallatie.
Op de avond van 2 oktober verschenen er op die plek weer lichten, dit keer wat lager en een aantal op een rij.
We hebben wel vaker UFO opnames gezien van Steven Barone en dan meestal in verband met het vliegveld waar hij vlakbij woont en waarover verhalen de ronde doen dat daar buitenaardsen verblijven.
Een bekende en prominente persoonlijkheid die veel weet over buitenaards leven is de voormalig Canadese Minister van Defensie, Paul Hellyer.
1) Er zijn minimaal vier verschillende soorten buitenaardsen die de aarde de afgelopen duizenden jaren hebben bezocht.
2) De soorten hebben waarschijnlijk verschillende agenda’s en dienen niet beschouwd te worden als van hetzelfde ras.
3) Een van die soorten is wat men noemt de Tall Whites. Volgens Hellyer werkt dit type samen met de Verenigde Staten.
Misschien is er geen enkel verband tussen de schietpartij en de ufo's die daar die avond in de buurt verschenen, maar zeker is het niet.
Hier zijn de beelden die Steven heeft gemaakt.
Te midden van alle geweld op deze wereld en politieke intriges gebeuren er ook nog steeds vreemde dingen in de lucht op andere plaatsen. Voorvallen waar zoals gewoonlijk over wordt gezwegen in de mainstream media.
Zo deed er zich een merkwaardig voorval voor op 1 oktober 2017 boven de Stille Oceaan bij Newport in de Amerikaanse staat Oregon. Gedurende een periode van ongeveer 4 minuten hing er een behoorlijk groot rond object stil boven het water.
Tot het moment dat er van rechts "iets" kwam wat een soort rookspoor achterliet, waarop het object plotsklaps verdween.
Onderstaand een vergrote opname en het lijkt wel enigszins op een soort afgevuurd projectiel. Is er iets of iemand die probeerde het stil hangende object te raken?
Vreemd genoeg heeft de maker van de volgende video "het projectiel" niet gezien, of hij negeert als niet belangrijk. Maar, wanneer je goed kijkt, dan krijg je toch de indruk dat er wel degelijk een verband is tussen het grote ronde object en het projectiel.
Opmerking Peter 2011 : Toen ik in september 2017 in Las Vegas was en s'avonds langs de boulevard wandelde, merkte ik op dat er regelmatig helikopters overvlogen. Het ging dan om avondvluchten om 'Las Vegas by night' te zien van uit de lucht. Het waren soms 3 à 5 helikopters achter elkaar. kunnen die lichten misschien daar iets mee te maken hebben? Toeval toch...
Evidence of Alien Abduction Showed In A Popular Television Programme
Evidence of Alien Abduction Showed In A Popular Television Programme
A guest left Phillip Schofield, and Holly Willoughby completely stunned during their This Morning show. The guest showed them evidence of the existence of alien lifeforms.
Cathleen Marden revealed that aliens abducted her auntie and uncle and took them inside a UFO.
Betty and Barney were on holiday in the Niagara Falls when the life-changing incident took place.
Cathleen showed Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield what she referred as concrete evidence of her auntie and uncle’s tale.
According to Cathleen, an unidentified object confronted Betty and Barney. The UFO had strange figures lurking from behind the windows, added Cathleen.
Cathleen said that the couple started to notice vibration and hear a series of buzzing sounds in the car. All of a sudden, they found themselves in a new location.
As they drove towards home, the pair discovered evidence that something strange had happened.
Cathleen claimed that her aunt’s dress had been torn in several places and covered in a strange pink powder. She showed a picture of the shredded garment to the viewers. She stressed that five scientific laboratories had analysed the dress and the finding is anomalous. She explained that it was found the powder did not belong to Betty and scientists did not able to determine whether it was from this planet or not.
New Yorkers Observe A UFO Circling Next to the World Trade Center
New Yorkers Observe A UFO Circling Next to the World Trade Center
UFO enthusiasts went frenzy after seeing strange lights hovering next to the World Trade Center in New York City. Many people from bars along the Hudson River went out to see the apparent UFO circling above Manhattan for about half an hour on Saturday night.
Some witnesses noticed the similarities of the UFO to the spaceship from Star Trek. The lights appear to blend well with the night sky.
Meanwhile, in California, people in Los Angeles freaked out after seeing a weird crescent hovering above them on Saturday night. Many people at Huntington Beach in California noticed it as well.
One person posted on Twitter that they totally just saw a Los Angeles crescent-shaped UFO sputtered slowly and zoomed out of sight.
Others thought the crescent was somehow related to the hidden planet known as the Planet X. Earlier in the week, conspiracy theorists claimed that it was going to smash into the planet, and wipe out the human race and almost all life on Earth.
The Nibiru theory is a prediction of a doomsday based on the bible that some people predict the end of the world.
Conspiracy theorists believe that none of us is going to survive after the doomsday and that would happen sooner than later as the signs for it to happen just took place. They refer to the solar eclipse that occurred last month and the recent hurricanes that devastated the Caribbean.
Ridley Scott: Humans Could Never Survive an Encounter With Extraterrestrials
Ridley Scott: Humans Could Never Survive an Encounter With Extraterrestrials
IN BRIEF
"Alien: Covenant" director Ridley Scott has made some scary predictions just ahead of the release of his new film. The director thinks that any aliens that make it to Earth would destroy humanity in a matter of minutes.
NO TIME TO HEAR YOU SCREAM
Ridley Scott has built himself a rather formidable career in Hollywood. He’s directed some of the biggest titles in science fiction, including the Oscar-nominated films “The Martian” and “Blade Runner,” and he was responsible for beginning the successful “Alien” franchise. Now, in anticipation of the next installment of that series, “Alien: Covenant,” Scott is adding Apocalypse Speculator to his list of job titles.
In an interview with Sky News, the director stated that he does think intelligent aliens are out there in the universe. “I believe in superior beings. I think it is certainly likely,” he explained. He went on to say that our only appropriate response to visiting extraterrestrials is to run and hide. “So when you see a big thing in the sky, run for it,” he said. “Because they are a lot smarter than we are, and if you are stupid enough to challenge them, you will be taken out in three seconds.”
FIRST AND FINAL CONTACT
Scott is not alone in this sentiment. Several experts agree that any alien lifeforms intelligent enough to make it to Earth are not likely to take too kindly to us measly humans.
To that end, Stephen Hawkingdoesn’t think we should be attempting to make first contact. “One day we might receive a signal from a planet like Gliese 832c, but we should be wary of answering back,” says Hawking in the short film “Stephen Hawking’s Favorite Places.” He goes on to compare aliens coming to Earth to Europeans coming to the New World. In short, Hawking asserts that it “didn’t turn out so well” for the native inhabitants.
Even without alien contact, some experts believe that we will sow our own destruction. Both Lord Martin Rees and Hawking see the development of artificial intelligence (AI) as a greater threat to the survival of our species. In Rees’ mind, “The period of time occupied by organic intelligence is just a thin sliver between early life and the long era of the machines.” If that’s the case, we might as well enjoy the time we have with a good sci-fi flick.

It was a dazzling light show that bewitched astronomers watching the night sky above Norwich - but was it proof of life on other planets?
Just months after Queen Elizabeth’s coronation in 1953, the Eastern Evening News front page carried a story about a visit from an Unidentified Flying Object which might have travelled to Earth through its own corona.
On October 8, the EEN reported that Frank Potter had spotted something unusual in the sky over his home on South Park Avenue in Norwich.
The amateur astronomer told reporters that he’d seen a noiseless object two days earlier at 7.15pm, travelling from south-west to north-east.
Training his telescope on the craft, he followed the saucer-shaped object as it sped across the sky, noting: “rays or beams of light could be seen distinctly from the dome and attached directly beneath it was a much larger and flattened dome with a protruding band running in a circumference around its edge.
“The underneath of the large flattened bottom dome was hollow and appeared to be glowing red, but there were no vapour trails or gases to be seen.”
The article prompted several other star-gazers to come forward to say they too had spotted something to suggest that we are not alone.
Mr Potter also revealed that a further seven members of the Norwich Astronomical Society, to which he belonged, had also seen the saucer.
Leonard G Cramp, vice-president of the British UFO Research Association, included the Norwich sighting in his 1954 book Space, Gravity and The Flying Saucer, a highly technical examination of the technology necessary to build a flying saucer.
Excerpts from Cramp’s book - including Mr Potter’s testimony - can be found online in the Central Intelligence Agency’s declassified documents library.
The truth is out there...somewhere above South Park Avenue.

UFO Flying at Mach 17 Filmed by USAF Veteran, Sends 4K Footage to NASA
UFO Flying at Mach 17 Filmed by USAF Veteran, Sends 4K Footage to NASA
If you still believe in green men and giant disks in this age of technology, there’s a good chance you’ll miss the true essence of the UFO phenomenon and extraterrestrial implications on this planet.
What this USAF veteran from Ayden, California had caught on his drone’s camera far surpasses our general understanding of UFOs.
A supersonic device of tiny proportions traveling 17 times faster than the speed of sound zipped nearby his DJI Phantom 3 Professional 4k drone, just above Ayden District Park, and without anyone noticing at first. After later playing the video on his 4k TV, the veteran was immediately amazed by what he saw.
I am 59 years old and retired from the USAF,” the man told MUFON. “In my 20 year military career I thought I had seen it all. This footage took me back!”
The ambiguous object was flying at about 50 feet from ground level at a speed outperforming by far any known craft engineered by human hands. The calculations performed revealed a staggering velocity of about 13,000 mph, that’s 17 times faster than the speed of sound.
For a better ensemble picture, the Lockheed SR-71 barely exceeds Mach 3.2, or about 2,200 miles per hour. The record-keeper for the hastiest manned jet is the SR-71 which is still nearly 6 times slower than the UFO seen above.
If we compare the fastest flying object designed by humans that doesn’t carry a crew, then DARPA’s HTV-s (Hypersonic Technology Vehicle 2) is the one to match the elusive UFO after streaking across the sky at the same bewildering velocity of 13,000 mph. However, the HTV-2 had to be launched using a rocket before using its scramjet engine, not to mention the Falcon Project was initiated over a decade ago. Who knows what toys they have in stock by now…
If you play the video at normal speed rate, there’s a good chance you’ll miss the object if you blink due to its extreme velocity and compressed size.
When the video is slowed down, the UFO comes into picture, but it’s neither big nor defined, and is certainly not leaving any trail. It’s not what most people would expect from a UFO sighting, isn’t it?
The description of the video provides additional information – “UFO traveled 6200 feet (about 1.2 miles) in 1/3rd of a second.”
The USAF veteran made an appeal to qualified authorities for further investigations and analysis.
I filed a UFO report with MUFON and they notified NASA and sent them a copy of the video. The video is under investigation and analysis. Work is being performed on it by both agencies.
I wouldn’t put my trust in NASA getting to the bottom of this due to their…busy schedule, but some lines can be drawn by the UFO community on the web.
Both UFOs seem to belong to the physical realm. Their appearance suggests they’re made of a metallic allow, light-colored and little reflective.
Even more, the veteran’s video was shot in 4k at 30 frames per second, exactly the type of quality one would expect from a modern-day UFO sighting of sorts.
A video analysis by MUFON investigator Sanford Davis sheds more light on this mysterious case, although he was unable to provide a conclusive answer.
This anomaly was neither observed nor experienced first-hand,” the official report reads. “It was observed as the witness was reviewing aerial drone footage. The whole sighting occurs within a third of a second – a streak arising in the background, streaking across the screen before disappearing in the foreground.”
But further comments provided by YouTube users bring more relevance:
It appears as a white dot, flattening out something somewhat into a ‘light disk’ right before it disappears off screen,” one commentator wrote.
Whatever the object was, it sure looks as part of a secret military project, or some otherworldly device with capabilities far beyond ours, but both of these options are not attested by modern-day ‘experts.’
Remember folks, there’s no such thing as super-evolved aliens, interdimensional beings, or black-budget programs. This is just a regular sky phenomenon, possibly a dopey bird, bug, golf ball or camera glitch.
Don’t fall for the alien propaganda, else you might have difficulties like the veteran who had posted this video.
UFO does not mean alien, extraterrestrial, spaceship or anything other than unidentified flying object…there was an object…it was flying…did not recognize what the object was… I don’t want you to think I’m an ass…but I have had death threats because of this video,” wrote the channel owner in the comments section after nearly one year from this staggering catch.
Two UFOs Fired Their Thrusters To Harness Energy From a Storm Cloud During a Live Weather Report
Two UFOs Fired Their Thrusters To Harness Energy From a Storm Cloud During a Live Weather Report
Two UFOs with thrusters exhibited a unique spectacle over the sky in Oklahoma, USA, just below an extreme storm front. The entire scene was streamed live by a local television.
The entire scene was caught on live stream by a local news outlet while reporters were discussing about the ongoing storm.
A trivial explanation has been put forward claiming that the sighting was nothing more than bugs on the windshield, but most viewers remained unconvinced since the UFOs had some kind of thrusters which are clearly visible during the video.
Other explanations see the sighting as a pair of daredevils using jetpacks to either test their capabilities during a storm, or to play a hoax on the unsuspecting public.
This kind of technology is not out of reach anymore, with some startups already selling stable jetpack versions to the military, as well as to civilians who can afford this cutting-edge technology.
Of course, many people inside the UFO community have suggested that what we see in the footage are actual alien vessels harnessing energy from the storm clouds.
Although this phenomenon where UFOs were seen hovering above the clouds, possibly recharging their spaceships, is not something new, it remains an enigma why these two alleged alien vessels are hanging around below the storm front and not above it.
The video below shows numerous other examples surprised across the years of UFOs harnessing energy from atop the storm clouds. It’s still unclear what these flying objects are, and it’s perfectly understandable since they cannot be explained with ease, nor compared to any known earthly device.
Before vanishing into the cloud, at the 0:30 mark, another similar UFO is seen in the top left corner just sitting there motionless.
From a more skeptical perspective, the two flying objects could be the product of advanced CGI effects, but since they appeared on live television makes this hypothesis obsolete.
To this day, the nature of the sighting remains unknown and undisclosed. Authorities and the media didn’t pay much attention to what was caught on video, further fueling our beliefs that they are aware of the UFO/alien reality, but are afraid to let us know about it…yet
Whatever the case, this sighting deserves our utmost attention. What do you think to be the case? Baloons? Jetpacks? Huge storm bugs?
From The CIA Files: Researchers Link UFO And ‘Their Heightened Interest’ To ‘The Variety And Wealth Of Useful Minerals’
From The CIA Files: Researchers Link UFO And ‘Their Heightened Interest’ To ‘The Variety And Wealth Of Useful Minerals’
Decades ago, visitors from other planets warned us about the direction we were heading and offered to help. Instead, some of us interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after.”
– Former Canadian Defense Minister Paul Hellyer
You might think that Internet conspiracy theorists are the only people who believe in aliens and their frequent visits to the earth. However, a group of Nasa astronauts like
Edgar Mitchell, Gordon Cooper, Deke Slayton, Brian O’Leary thought extraterrestrials exist and that they have been visiting Earth for some time.

“Yes there has been crashed craft, and bodies recovered. We are not alone in the universe; they have been coming here for a long time. I happen to be privileged enough to be in on the fact that we have been visited on this planet, and the UFO phenomenon is real.”
– Dr. Edgar Mitchell, the 6th man to walk on the moon
Besides the astronauts, there are governments of many countries who maintain classified documents or top secret documents about the UFOs and extraterrestrial beings. These documents have been released into the public domain along with Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. In the United States, the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), the NSA (National Security Agency) and the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) have followed suit proving that these agencies have put in immense resources to study the extraterrestrial phenomenon.
The efforts of many military whistleblowers including the politicians and academics have led the topic of UFOs into the realm of reality from that of conspiracy theory. In fact, some of the people have known about the phenomenon for a long time now.
Countries spy on each other to extract information by using a spectrum of methods. The American government’s STARGATE project investigates the parapsychology and uses their findings to spy on other countries. Similarly, the Snowden leaks threw light on how the US government spies on their citizens, major corporations, foreign and financial establishments.
Hypothesis on Aliens by Various Countries
Many governments have black budget operations called as Unacknowledged Special Access Programs (SAPs) in the United States, and they have zero oversight from the Congress.
A document found online in the CIA’s electronic reading room shows how the CIA gathers intelligence with a joint effort between the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the USSR. Almost two decades ago, the scientists from the USSR and PRC revealed a joint study on the UFOs which indicated how global governments investigated UFOs through history.
The Soviet and the specialists from China have come up with a program to investigate known incidents and have also decided to exchange video and photographs directly with each other at Dalnegorsk, the chosen meeting destination. In the last four years, more than 10 UFOs were recorded. Specialists are of the opinion that the aliens are interested in places with an abundance of wealth and other useful minerals. Many such incidents were reported in the mountainous regions of China.
Frequent Alien Visits
The extraterrestrials have allegedly been visiting earth for a long time now. So the thought about aliens invading our planet for resources is unlikely to happen. If they had any invasion planned, like the ones shown in our famous films, it would have happened by now.
There are many stories regarding UFO spacecraft landing, humanoid bodies coming out of a vehicle and aliens exploring natural resources. Many researchers are of the opinion these ETs in reality concerned about the well-being of our planet. A large number of people who claim to have alien contact experiences or other type of telepathic experiences have shared a similar sentiment.

An incident in the town of Ruwa, Zimbabwe on September 16th, 1994 confirms that aliens have been visiting us for long. In this incident, over sixty school children claim to have seen many flying objects that seemed like spaceships.
Many such stories talk about aliens visiting earth. For instance, Colonel Ross Dedrickson, who maintained the inventory of the nuclear stockpile for the AEC in the 1950s revealed in an interview about some extraterrestrials who were concerned about the well-being of our planet.

A search for "UFO" on YouTube brings over 500,000 returns.[1] And, after you've managed to sort through that lot to find your favorite, if you're worried that it's too good to be true, your suspicions may be well founded. Not only do you need to believe in the possibility of UFOs (or, at least, be open-minded enough), but you also have to trust the person filming it (possibly more far-fetched in the age of video tricks). Here are some methods to assist you in spotting a potentially fake UFO video on YouTube, or any other video site.
1. Discard the obvious fakes before proceeding.
These are the UFO videos that are clearly made in elementary school, use Lego men, or state in bold letters (or shout at you), "This is a joke!". Assuming you've already put your powers of critical assessment to work at this stage, it's time to proceed to the next signs that a UFO video might not be for real.
2. Look at the UFO closely.
There are a number of obvious elements that can help you spot the fake UFO video. Here are some things to pay extra careful attention to:.
Can you see any form of attachments to the object that is being claimed as a UFO? For example, strings, wires, stands, etc.
Be aware that invisible thread does wonders and can be very hard to spot unless you are looking for it. Look for glints of light off the invisible thread as the video camera rolls away at different angles, etc.
Is the UFO moving awkwardly, or with a jitter? Wobbliness tends to be a sign of strings and nerves rather than futuristic flying technology. Imagine trying to keep down a cup of alien brew in a wobbly craft? It's probably fair enough to say that if a plane couldn't fly wobbling or teetering in the way that the UFO has been presented as flying, then it's very unlikely the UFO could either - after all, our atmosphere remains the same for the UFO, let alone the comfort needs of the crew.[2]
Does the UFO suddenly "disappear" without further ado? Do planes, helicopters or hot air balloons just "disappear"? Not usually. Theoretically, a stealth bomber cloak, 3D cloaking, or meta-material might surround the UFO but if so, why bother to reveal at all and then suddenly disappear? Did it get a whiff of the photographer whose importance was probably considerably less than that of paying attention to either landing properly or keeping the flight path straight? The greater likelihood is that the filming got awkward at that point and just stopped, or the painting tool was put to grand use.
3. Listen.
If there is sound of a UFO in the video, it pays to listen closely as the UFO goes by. How realistic does it sound to you? Or does it remind you of your best friend's attempt at making an alien tune on Garageband late one night?
If the UFO in the video makes noise, it's probably a fake. It is difficult to know but it would be assumed that a UFO in real life would be very careful to keep its noise to a minimum. But more than that supposition, use your hearing senses carefully - a lot of sounds can be synthesized but one person's idea of what a UFO should sound like can easily be very corny (copied from a sci-fi film or show), or just really odd.
If a soundtrack is included, the video has a higher chance of being fake because it's aimed at creating the atmosphere and emotion, making it much more likely that it is staged. If someone really has filmed a UFO, the excitement of it would probably have them uploading it on well before they'd thought to add some spooky soundtrack and turn it into a "perfect" video!
4. Look at the details surrounding the UFO.
As the familiar adage says, the devil is always in the details.
If the UFO is zooming by some trees, look to see if they blow because of the wind. If they don't, it's fake.
Look for shadows. Are there any shadows of the person taking the video, or other nearby objects? This will indicate to you that the video is shot close by on an object near to the person filming, rather than up in the sky. Moreover, shadows at night are less likely unless a direct source of light is shining on the UFO and it's near enough something to throw a shadow.
Look for reflections. What sort of reflections do you see? Remember the famous nude photos in kettles of eBay sellers - can you see the camera person in the reflection? If so, they're way too close to their miniature model! Other reflections can also be dead giveaways - anything that's meant to be on the ground, such as a car, will indicate a fake if reflecting in the object.
Look for duplicates in the background. For example, look at the trees or power poles as the filmed UFO zooms by. If the trees or power poles present an exact repeating pattern (looping the film), the video is a fake.
Does it appear that the object is tracked by a video camera that just seems to know without a doubt the UFO's next move? Or, does the video operator get tired of this and turn off the camera after only filming a few seconds even though the UFO is still in beautiful view?[3]
5. Consider whether the object reminds you of something.
If it does, it is a possibly a big giveaway of the "object" used to fake the UFO for the filming. Some common objects to be wary of include:
The cloud. A conveniently shaped cloud in suitable weather might fit the bill for a clever photographer.
Kid's toys. Some can be convincing, others definitely less so.
Lights. These really are just too seductive for the amateur fake UFO photographer. From LEDs to bulbs, anything can go, and does.
The saucer. Literally. One kid throws it in the air, while the other one starts filming it.
Beer (or other) bottles. If it reminds you of a bottle flying through the air, trust your instincts. Throwing a beer bottle at a party can give people ideas if there's a video camera handy.
Software clones. Does the object or surrounding objects look just like stuff you've already seen on photo/movie/gaming software?
6. Check online for information.
Using the claims made in the video, do some online research to verify the claims. Things to look for include:
Dates - do the dates match up with other people's recollections of the siting?
Are there news stories covering the alleged appearance of the UFO?
Is there an article or website debunking your particular video as a clear hoax? For example, there are well-known hoax UFO videos and it's a good idea to discard these from the start before you even get excited about the possibility that your video is real![4]
7. Use reverse logic.
A really good way to know how to spot a fake is to know how a fake is made in the first place. Do some research online to find out how a fake UFO video is made.[5] Armed with this knowledge, it becomes a lot easier to spot the tomfoolery on a video featuring an alleged UFO! Some of the more common elements of making a fake UFO video include:
Resorting to the overly familiar saucer shape. While it's commonplace as a UFO representation, did you know that this shape has only been "popular" since 1947 and the Roswell incident?[4]
Throwing up lights in the background and quickly filming then. This is a very common trick.[6]
8. Be cynical, suspicious, or at least wary, if:
There are no witnesses, or only the dog or spouse witnessed the event. Be even more concerned if the dog is put forward as a credible witness.
If the video shows a huge object hanging over a very crowded area, such as New York City, but not very many people noticed (remember your research step above here). Other than the "terrified" actor in the video, of course. Indeed, the math of anyone looking at a large building in New York City has already been done and it was found that at least 50 people out of the 8 million people in NYC would be staring at a large building every second of the day.[7]
Anyone appearing in the video is acting suspiciously, weirdly, or over-the-top.
It is filmed too well. This could be the indication of a UFO geek who has spent hours poring over the video shoot, getting the colors, shades, and reflections matching perfectly, all because she has seen Fox Mulder point out the illogicality of a UFO photo on an X-Files repeat. The reality is that special effects are affordable to many people to tinker with these days,[9] and if you really did chance on seeing a UFO "just like that", it's unlikely that your excited, rushing night-time video would be "perfect".
Even the person uploading the video tells you it's a fake project started to help the kids when they got bored one day but it went viral and got distorted into "being real" because some UFO enthusiasts (read, people who really, really, really want to see a UFO) happened to be convinced that it "must" be real![10]

The idea that we have a tendency to aren’t solely|the sole} life forms within the universe has captured the imagination and interest of not only scientists however thinkers, historians and different consultants throughout the centuries. 3 Aliens Species Visting earth

He is remembered for his cosmological theories, that conceptually extended the then novel Copernican model.
Bruno planned that the celebrities were simply distant suns enclosed by their own exoplanets and raised the chance that these planets may even foster lifetime of their own (a philosophical position referred to as cosmic pluralism).
Bruno conjointly insisted that the universe is actually infinite and will haven’t any natural object at its “center”.
Bruno said: “There square measure incalculable suns and incalculable earth’s all rotating around their suns in just a similar manner because the seven planets of our system. we have a tendency to see solely the suns as a result of {they square measure|they’re} the most important bodies and are lucent, however their planets stay invisible to United States as a result of they’re smaller and non-luminous.

The idea that we tend to aren’t solely|the sole} life forms within the universe has captured the imagination and interest of not only scientists however thinkers, historians and alternative consultants throughout the centuries.
One of the primary to talk out concerning alien life was a Italian Dominican religious, philosopher, man of science, poet, and cosmological theoriser Giordano Bruno.
He is remembered for his cosmological theories, that conceptually extended the then novel Copernican model.
Bruno projected that the celebs were simply distant suns encircled by their own exoplanets and raised the likelihood that these planets may even foster lifetime of their own (a philosophical position referred to as cosmic pluralism).
Bruno conjointly insisted that the universe is in reality infinite and will haven’t any natural object at its “center”.

Considering the very fact that there ar a minimum of hundred billion galaxies even as recent because the Milky Way, and every one of them have a median of a hundred BILLION Suns per galaxy, most of them with planets almost like Earth orbiting them, one will say that intelligent life sure enough should exist somewhere.
Many authors would agree that it’s safe to mention that there’s a minimum of one intelligent civilization per galaxy. There ar a minimum of 100 billion galaxies because the Milky Way. Do the mathematics.
UFOlogists and paranormal researchers agree that throughout the years Earth has been visited, and there’s ample historical proof that supports this claim.
Confused as ‘Gods’, varied ancient cultures round the globe indicate however ‘extremely advanced beings’ visited Earth, returning from the celebrities.
The Annunaki
Are the traditional Enuki the primitive in our amnesic history?
If we tend to take a glance at ancient Mesopotamian history we’ll realize proof of the alleged Enuki.
The Anunnaki ar believed to be the creators of Man. These mighty Gods left Earth within the distant past, oral communication that in the future, they shall come back to Earth. Curiously, if we glance at ancient cultures round the globe, most of their Gods—Creator Gods—left Earth and secure to come back in the future.
According to later Assyrian and Babylonian story, the Enuki were the youngsters of Semitic deity and Ki, brother and sister gods. The Enuki seem within the Babylonian creation story, Enuma Elish. The Enuki ar mentioned within the Epic of Gilgamesh once Semitic deity tells the story of the flood. There ar four primary gods: Semitic deity, Enlil, Enki and Ninhursag.
Many researchers firmly believe that supported varied discoveries, the Enuki (Sumerian: “those WHO decreased from the heavens), a extremely advanced civilization from Associate in Nursing elusive planet in our system, came to Earth, landing within the Persian Gulf some 432,000 years agone. They created man as a slave race to assist them mine gold. Eventually, the Enuki left Earth, effort their creation behind promising to come back in the future.
3. The Reptiles
Throughout history, we’ve got detected tales regarding these strange wanting creatures that apparently live among us on Earth. There square measure such a big amount of stories regarding reptilian entities each within the past and within the gift as if these beings were since the start of your time gift on our planet. History talks regarding them and modern-day sightings have become a lot of and a lot of frequent. There are stories of beings half-human, half-reptile for hundreds of years, however is that this simply the results of human imagination or is there one thing a lot of regarding these strange beings that have conquered our History texts.
Looking back in history, we discover many tales regarding extraterrestrial beings, that were worshiped by our ancestors. In South America, Quetzalcoatl, Kukulkan square measure a number of the gods that square measure well, reptilian beings worshiped as gods. Quetzalcoatl could be a Mesoamerican immortal whose name comes from the Nahuatl language and suggests that “feathered serpent” The worship of a feathered serpent is 1st best-known documented in Teotihuacan within the 1st century BCE or 1st century Ce.
According to ufologists, they live regarding four meters tall and square measure characterised as glorious warriors and have an especially stratified and competitive political – military system. They even have an excellent psychic power }prey on negative energies like concern and hate, thus, they’re thought of ” regressive ” and were thought of before as “demons.”
The Middle East is an important part of the world known for its prolonged, rich history.
Many Arabs and those living in the region often forget, marginalize and neglect the fact that this part of the world doesn't lack surprise and novelty.
Here are some fun and fascinating facts about the Middle East to emphasize its ever-standing characteristics:
1. A True History
Roman-Syrians knew what the future had in store long before Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon and Leif Eriksson "found" America.
In what is arguably the first fantasy book, True Historytells the stories of the first encounter with aliens, the discovery of a new continent in the West, and explorers flying to the moon.
Lucian of Samosata was a Syrian writer in the second century who knew Greek. He wrote this book as a parody, mocking all adventures and creatures that used to be featured in old tales.
2. Hamsters
The small, cute and lovable gerbils were firstly discovered in Syria in 1797.
After scientists bred them, they delivered them to multiple laboratories around the world.
The hamsters you see in pet shops today are most likely the descendants of the same furry animals which were bred in 1930.
3. Assassin's Creed
Assassin's Creed is an action-adventure video game revolving around a warbetween the "Assassins" - fighting for peace and freedom - and the "Templars" - those convinced that peace will reign only if humanity is controlled.
Little do players of this video game know that the Assassins depicted in it are based on actual assassins who existed between the 11th and 13th century in Syria and Persia (modern day Iran) and were known as "Hashishiyyin".

The Big Bang Theory is the leading explanation about how the universe began. At its simplest, it says the universe as we know it started with a small singularity, then inflated over the next 13.8 billion years to the cosmos that we know today.
Because current instruments don't allow astronomers to peer back at the universe's birth, much of what we understand about the Big Bang Theory comes from mathematical formulas and models. Astronomers can, however, see the "echo" of the expansion through a phenomenon known as the cosmic microwave background.
While the majority of the astronomical community accepts the theory, there are some theorists who have alternative explanations besides the Big Bang — such as eternal inflation or an oscillating universe.
The phrase "Big Bang Theory" has been popular among astrophysicists for decades, but it hit the mainstream in 2007 when a comedy show with the same name premiered on CBS. The show follows the home and academic life of several researchers (including an astrophysicist).
The first second, and the birth of light
In the first second after the universe began, the surrounding temperature was about 10 billion degrees Fahrenheit (5.5 billion Celsius), according to NASA. The cosmos contained a vast array of fundamental particles such as neutrons, electrons and protons. These decayed or combined as the universe got cooler.
This early soup would have been impossible to look at, because light could not carry inside of it. "The free electrons would have caused light (photons) to scatter the way sunlight scatters from the water droplets in clouds," NASA stated. Over time, however, the free electrons met up with nuclei and created neutral atoms. This allowed light to shine through about 380,000 years after the Big Bang.
This early light — sometimes called the "afterglow" of the Big Bang — is more properly known as the cosmic microwave background (CMB). It was first predicted by Ralph Alpher and other scientists in 1948, but was found only by accident almost 20 years later. [Images: Peering Back to the Big Bang & Early Universe]
Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, both of Bell Telephone Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey, were building a radio receiver in 1965 and picking up higher-than-expected temperatures, according to NASA. At first, they thought the anomaly was due to pigeons and their dung, but even after cleaning up the mess and killing pigeons that tried to roost inside the antenna, the anomaly persisted.
Simultaneously, a Princeton University team (led by Robert Dicke) was trying to find evidence of the CMB, and realized that Penzias and Wilson had stumbled upon it. The teams each published papers in the Astrophysical Journal in 1965.
Determining the age of the universe
The cosmic microwave background has been observed on many missions. One of the most famous space-faring missions was NASA's Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite, which mapped the sky in the 1990s.
Several other missions have followed in COBE's footsteps, such as the BOOMERanG experiment (Balloon Observations of Millimetric Extragalactic Radiation and Geophysics), NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) and the European Space Agency's Planck satellite.
Planck's observations, first released in 2013, mapped the background in unprecedented detail and revealed that the universe was older than previously thought: 13.82 billion years old, rather than 13.7 billion years old. [Related: How Old is the Universe?] (The research observatory's mission is ongoing and new maps of the CMB are released periodically.)
Examining the CMB also gives astronomers clues as to the composition of the universe. Researchers think most of the cosmos is made up of matter and energy that cannot be "sensed" with conventional instruments, leading to the names dark matter and dark energy. Only 5 percent of the universe is made up of matter such as planets, stars and galaxies.
Gravitational waves controversy
While astronomers could see the universe's beginnings, they've also been seeking out proof of its rapid inflation. Theory says that in the first second after the universe was born, our cosmos ballooned faster than the speed of light. That, by the way, does not violate Albert Einstein's speed limit since he said that light is the maximum anything can travel within the universe. That did not apply to the inflation of the universe itself.
"We're very confident that the signal that we're seeing is real, and it's on the sky," lead researcher John Kovac, of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, told Space.com in March 2014.
But by June, the same team said that their findings could have been altered by galactic dust getting in the way of their field of view.
"The basic takeaway has not changed; we have high confidence in our results," Kovac said in a press conference reported by the New York Times. "New information from Planck makes it look like pre-Planckian predictions of dust were too low," he added.
The results from Planck were put online in pre-published form in September. By January 2015, researchers from both teams working together "confirmed that the Bicep signal was mostly, if not all, stardust," the New York Times said in another article.

Separately, gravitational waves have been confirmed when talking about the movements and collisions of black holes that are a few tens of masses larger than our sun. These waves have been detected multiple times by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) since 2016. As LIGO becomes more sensitive, it is anticipated that discovering black hole-related gravitational waves will be a fairly frequent event.
Faster inflation, multiverses and charting the start
The universe is not only expanding, but getting faster as it inflates. This means that with time, nobody will be able to spot other galaxies from Earth, or any other vantage point within our galaxy.
"We will see distant galaxies moving away from us, but their speed is increasing with time," Harvard University astronomer Avi Loeb said in a March 2014 Space.com article.
"So, if you wait long enough, eventually, a distant galaxy will reach the speed of light. What that means is that even light won't be able to bridge the gap that's being opened between that galaxy and us. There's no way for extraterrestrials on that galaxy to communicate with us, to send any signals that will reach us, once their galaxy is moving faster than light relative to us."
Some physicists also suggest that the universe we experience is just one of many. In the "multiverse" model, different universes would coexist with each other like bubbles lying side by side. The theory suggests that in that first big push of inflation, different parts of space-time grew at different rates. This could have carved off different sections — different universes — with potentially different laws of physics.
"It's hard to build models of inflation that don't lead to a multiverse," Alan Guth, a theoretical physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said during a news conference in March 2014 concerning the gravitational waves discovery. (Guth is not affiliated with that study.)
"It's not impossible, so I think there's still certainly research that needs to be done. But most models of inflation do lead to a multiverse, and evidence for inflation will be pushing us in the direction of taking [the idea of a] multiverse seriously."
While we can understand how the universe we see came to be, it's possible that the Big Bang was not the first inflationary period the universe experienced. Some scientists believe we live in a cosmos that goes through regular cycles of inflation and deflation, and that we just happen to be living in one of these phases.
Sputnik 1! 7 Fun Facts About Humanity's First Satellite
Sputnik 1! 7 Fun Facts About Humanity's First Satellite
By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer

0. Introduction
The first-ever artificial satellite took to the skies on Oct. 4, 1957.
The launch of that craft, the Soviet Union's Sputnik 1, kicked off the space age and the Cold War space race, the latter of which peaked when Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped onto the surface of the moon in July 1969.
1. Sputnik 1 was the size of a beach ball
Sputnik 1 weighed 184 lbs. (83 kilograms) and was 23 inches (58 centimeters) wide. (This measure refers to the satellite's body; Sputnik 1 also featured two double-barreled antennas, the larger of which was 12.8 feet, or 3.9 meters, long.)
So, the satellite was quite small compared to the spacecraft of today, such as NASA's Cassini Saturn orbiter, which was about the size of a school bus. But lofting something as heavy as Sputnik 1 was quite a feat in October 1957. Two months later, the United States tried to launch its first satellite — the 3.5-lb. (1.6 kg) Vanguard Test Vehicle 3 (TV3) — and failed.
2. The Soviet Union had been aiming bigger
Soviet space officials had wanted the nation's first satellite to be much bigger than a beach ball. The original plan called for lofting a nearly 3,000-lb. (1,400 kg) craft outfitted with a variety of scientific instruments.
But development of this satellite, code-named "Object D," progressed more slowly than expected, and Soviet officials grew increasingly worried that the United States might beat them to space. So, they decided to precede the launch of Object D with a "simplest satellite," or "prosteishy sputnik" in Russian. Indeed, Sputnik 1 was also known as PS-1, Anatoly Zak noted at RussianSpaceWeb.com. (The literal translation of "sputnik," by the way, is "traveling companion.")
Sputnik 1 carried no scientific instruments. However, researchers did learn some things about Earth's atmosphere by studying the beep-beep-beep radio signals emitted by the satellite.
The hulking Object D reached orbit as Sputnik 3 in May 1958, six months after Sputnik 2, which famously lofted a dog named Laika.
3. The launch almost failed
Sputnik 1 came perilously close to suffering the same fate as the United States' TV3 satellite, which was destroyed in a launch failure on Dec. 6, 1957.
Sputnik 1 was lofted by an R-7 rocket, which consisted of four first-stage boosters — known as Blocks B, V, G and D — strapped onto a core second stage (Block A). During the launch, the Block G booster's main engine reached its intended thrust levels later than expected.
"As a result, 6.5 seconds after the launch, the rocket started to pitch, deviating around 1 degree from the nominal trajectory 8 seconds after the liftoff," Zak wrote. "In the effort to correct the increasing pitch angle, steering engines No. 2 and [No.] 4 on the core stage rotated as much as 8 degrees; similar engines on strap-on boosters of Block V and D rotated as much as 17-18 degrees, while tail air rudders rotated 10 degrees.
"Only a split second remained, after which the flight control system would terminate the flight of the underpowered rocket," he added. "Fortunately, the engine finally reached normal performance, and [the] rocket fully returned to nominal trajectory some 18-20 seconds after the liftoff."
Sputnik 1 eventually settled into an elliptical orbit, which took the satellite as close to Earth's surface as 142 miles (228 kilometers) and as far away as 588 miles (947 km). The satellite zipped around Earth every 96 minutes.
4. Its mission was brief
Sputnik 1 was powered by three silver-zinc batteries, which were designed to operate for two weeks. The batteries exceeded expectations, as the satellite continued sending out its radio signal for 22 days.
The spacecraft continued lapping Earth in silence for a few more months, its orbit decaying and sending the craft steadily closer to the planet. The satellite finally burned up in the atmosphere on Jan. 4, 1958.
5. Most Sputnik spotters actually saw its rocket
Though Sputnik 1 was small, it was quite reflective and therefore visible from Earth through a pair of binoculars (and perhaps even with the naked eye, if you had good vision and knew exactly where to look).
Many people reported seeing the satellite overhead in late 1957, but experts think most of these sightings actually involved the R-7. The rocket's 85-foot-long (26 m) core stage also reached orbit, and it was covered with reflective panels to make tracking it easier. This rocket body fell back to Earth on Dec. 2, 1957, according to Zak.
6. Sputnik 1 led to the creation of NASA and DARPA
The launch of Sputnik 1 famously shook the United States.
"As a technical achievement, Sputnik caught the world's attention and the American public off guard," NASA historians wrote in 2007, in a piece marking the milestone's 50-year anniversary. "Its size was more impressive than Vanguard's intended 3.5-lb. payload. In addition, the public feared that the Soviets' ability to launch satellites also translated into the capability to launch ballistic missiles that could carry nuclear weapons from Europe to the U.S."
Such worries didn't dissipate after the U.S. launched its first successful satellite, Explorer 1, on Jan. 31, 1958. American officials took several measures to boost the nation's technological capabilities. These included creating the Advanced Research Projects Agency (later renamed the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA) in February 1958 and NASA in October of that year. (NASA's precursor organization, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, had been around since 1915.)
And in September 1958, Congress enacted the National Defense Education Act, which aimed to help increase the number and quality of U.S. scientists and engineers.
7. The satellite inspired the world 'beatnik'
Sputnik 1's huge cultural impact can be seen in the spate of "nik" neologisms its launch spurred, a few of which remain in use today. "Peacenik" is one well-known example, but the most famous is undoubtedly "beatnik," which San Francisco newspaper columnist Herb Caen coined in 1958. (And beatnik, in turn, sparked another coinage — "neatnik.")
Though Sputnik 1 raised "nik" to prominence in the U.S., the launch didn't actually introduce the suffix — which is roughly equivalent to "er" in English — into the American lexicon; select Russian and Yiddish words had already done that. The term "no-goodnik," for example, has been around since at least 1936, according to Merriam-Webster.com.
Volcanic Eruptions Gave the Ancient Moon a Temporary Atmosphere
Volcanic Eruptions Gave the Ancient Moon a Temporary Atmosphere

Earth's moon doesn't have much of an atmosphere today. However, it may have had a more prominent atmosphere 3 billion to 4 billion years ago, when volcanic eruptions spewed giant clouds of gas above the lunar surface, a new study has found.
Today's moon is covered in dead volcanoes and dark maria, or plains that consist of hardened lava. The lunar atmosphere is so thin it's not even technically an atmosphere — instead, it's considered an "exosphere," with molecules that are gravitationally bound to the moon but are too sparse to behave like a gas.
A new study from scientists at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, and the Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) in Houston suggests that the moon's ancient volcanoes produced a temporary atmosphere that lingered for 70 million years before dissipating into space.

Samples of volcanic glasses collected by Apollo astronauts in the 1970s revealed that magma beneath the lunar surface billions of years ago "carried gas components, such as carbon monoxide, the ingredients for water, sulfur, and other volatile species," LPI officials said in a statement.
In the new study, the researchers calculated how much gas rose from the lavas that flowed from the lunar volcanoes. They determined that enough gases accumulated around the moon to form an atmosphere, and that this atmosphere grew faster than it could escape into space.
LPI officials said that the findings may have big implications for future exploration of the moon, because it "quantifies a source of volatiles that may have been trapped from the atmosphere into cold, permanently shadowed regions near the lunar poles and, thus, may provide a source of ice suitable for a sustained lunar exploration program."
While it is often believed that most aliens are an unfriendly bunch, there are a few species that have been on Earth for centuries who serve to disprove this claim. Some of the more friendly alien species are listed below.
1. THE LYRANS
It’s a widely held belief that the Lyrans are our oldest ancestors. In fact, there are those that believe that the Lyrans were actually the first “humans” to form a civilization in the Milky Way galaxy.
The world famous Billy Meier was one of the first people to talk about Lyrans. He claims that they revealed to him their origins and story. He was extremely gracious to share this story with mankind.
Mr. Meier reports that, “They have described their ancient ancestry, and consequently ours, as originating in a far sun-system in a star group near what we now know as the Ring Nebula of Lyra, for which we have called them Lyrans in the same manner as we refer to human beings from what we call the Pleiades.
2. THE ARCTURIANS
After many eons of existence, one of the oldest alien species in our galaxy, the Arcturians, have reached such an ascended statethat many classify them as a fifth dimension civilization.
Their home planet orbits the largest star in the Bootes Constellation and is located approximately 200 light years away from Earth.
While seemingly impossible for us to reach, it’s proven to be of little consequence to the Arcturians because while millions of years ago the Arcturians achieved the level of technology we have reached on Earth. They now possess some of the most advanced technology in the Milky Way galaxy.
While few people have directly interacted with the Arcturians, those that have report them as being between 3 and 5 feet tall with large heads and big, black almond shaped eyes. Their skin is normally a greenish color and they have three fingers on each hand.
In addition, they appear to be masters of telepathic communication and can move objects or interact with their environment all through the use of their minds. Furthermore, old age and death have been virtually eliminated from their society.
It’s believed that their fleet of starships crisscrosses the galaxy and one of them, the Starship Athena, is believed to be orbiting the earth to prevent something from threatening our existence.
The Arcturians take their role as protectors extremely seriously. So seriously, in fact, one of their probes, the Black Knight Satellite, is believed to have been orbiting Earth for the last 13,000 years.
3. THE TELOSIANS
Described as being tall, blonde humanoids, the Telosians are believed by many to be the last survivors of long lost human civilizations on Earth.
There are those that say they are the survivors of the cataclysms that sunk Atlantis and Lemuria, while another school of thought believes they are much older than that.
Their name derives from the ancient Greek word “telos” meaning “end’ or “purpose.” It seems a fitting name for their largest city of Telos which many believe is located under Mt. Shasta, California.
Through psychotronic technology and highly developed cerebral abilities, their advanced society has been in constant contact with a number of other extraterrestrial civilizations including the Pleiadians and Arcturians.
The first person to describe the Telosians was Admiral Richard Byrd. In his diaries that were published after his death, he tells of a secret North Pole mission to the home of an advanced subterranean race.
Admiral Byrd wrote that this alien species had been living in a few secret underground cities but it was our nuclear bombs that finally drew them out to the surface. Admiral Byrd wrote,
“Our interests rightly begins just after your race exploded the first atomic bomb over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. It was at that alarming time we sent our flying machines, the “Flugelrads” to your surface world to investigate what your race had done.“
“You see, we have never interfered before in your race’s wars and barbarity, but now we must, for you have learned to tamper with a certain power that is not for man, namely that of atomic energy.”
“Our emissaries have already delivered messages to the powers of your world, and yet they do not heed. Now you have been chosen to be witness here that our world does exist. You see, our culture and science is many thousands of years beyond our race. Admiral.”
Thousands of years of scientific advancement have given the Telosians the ability to circumvent disease and aging. The Telosians are widely known for their longevity and could help us with our own. They are also true protectors of the Earth’s environment and keepers of knowledge about our planet’s past.
4. THE ALPHA CENTAURIANS
The extraterrestrials from Alpha Centauri easily have the power to not only destroy us, but any other aggressive alien species. They are considered to be the most technologically advanced alien species in the Milky Way galaxy.
They got in this position because they are reported to be highly intelligent and possess a natural curiosity which in turn led them to rapid advancements in science and technology. It also appears that the Alpha Centaurians have learned that with immense power comes immense responsibility.
Over time they evolved into an aquatic species with gills and webbed limbs. Some researchers believe they are responsible for most of the underwater and the USO phenomena.
It’s also believed that they have a number of bases that operate on the bottom of our seas, oceans, and lakes around the planet.
In keeping with their nature, the Alpha Centaurians are believed to be very benevolent towards the human race and have a desire to help us overcome some of the many challenges that come with the evolution of a species.
It’s believed that they communicate telepathically and their influence, while subtle, is always there. Many researchers believe that the Alpha Centaurians promote social justice and human rights as they pertain to the responsibility advanced technology we’re developing.
5. THE PLEIADIANS
Believed to be descendants of the early Lyrans, the Pleiadians, in some circles, have come to represent one of humanity’s most active allies.
Their home is located in the Pleiades Star Cluster, which is a group of stars located approximately 400 light years from Earth. Their name is derived from the ancient Greek verb, “plein” meaning “to sail.”
The Pleiadians have always played an important role in human culture. One of their chosen representatives, Billy Meir, imparted the messages of Semjase, a Pleidian female who was deeply concerned for our fate. She told Billy:
“We are neither guardians of Earth nor beings of God-sent angels or similar. Many persons suggest we are watching over Earth and her beings and would control their fates.
This is not true, because we only perform a self-selected mission which has nothing to do with supervising or regulating Earth’s fate. Thus it is wrong to expose us as superterrestrial messengers and guardians.”
Despite the message from Semjase, the Pleiadians were the first to warn Earth about the danger that Grey aliens posed. The Pleiadians accused the Greys of having a lack of wisdom and empathy when using technologically inferior humans to serve their evil, remorseless purposes.
For this reason, the two alien species have fought one another not only here, but in other star systems.
Those that have been in contact with the Pleiadians claim that the Pleiadians have been attempting to free ourselves from oppression for quite some time.
