LIGHTNING STRIKE HITS PASSENGER PLANE - BUT WHAT DO YOU SEE ON SECOND 48?
LIGHTNING STRIKE HITS PASSENGER PLANE - BUT WHAT DO YOU SEE ON SECOND 48?
A lightning strike at KL743, heading for Lima on November 13. It looks awesome.
But I'm posting that video because I am confused about what I see on second 48. Is it a bird, or a very fast drone or probe? Or is it something else?
These stunning pictures appear to show an alien spacecraft hovering in the air over the desert and have been seized upon by the UFO community.
They were taken by a man using the pseudonym "Keith Bradshaw", who says he went out to the desert near the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake in California after being told about the craft by a friend.
He snapped the pictures in 2007 - but says he has been too nervous to show them until now.
“This thing would wobble along close to the ground, very unstable," he told the Daily Star .
“Then it would freeze in position, go up to a certain height and sit there for a few minutes perfectly still. It made no noise that I could hear."
Keith said that he watched the craft for about ten minutes. He also claimed he saw the silver UFO while a number of military vehicles were parked nearby.
There was even a military helicopter flying around at the time.
“I don’t believe anyone could have been riding on the inside, but I got the idea the helicopter was somehow remotely controlling it," he said.
“It looked like whoever was controlling it was having fun with it, sometimes because they would do little tricks with it.”
By opening the pictures up to the world now, Keith hopes to open the conversation about whether we've been visited by extraterrestrials - or whether it was simply some new kind of military hardware that he witnessed.
He provided the pictures to 54-year-old UFO sleuth Philip Mantle, who says he hasn't seen anything like this in over 40 years of research.
Mr Mantle has described them as "the most controversial UFO photos on record" and adds experts are unable to agree if the photographs are real.
WETENSCHAP & PLANEETWetenschappers hebben zopas bekendgemaakt dat ze op amper 11 lichtjaren afstand van de aarde een nieuwe planeet ontdekt hebben waar de omstandigheden zo gunstig zijn en die zo hard op de aarde lijkt dat er mogelijk leven op aanwezig is. Ross 128 b, waarschijnlijk een rotsachtige planeet, is 1,35 keer zo groot als de aarde.
Het gaat volgens de studie die vandaag verschijnt om een mogelijk nog belangrijkere ontdekking dan die van Proxima Centauri b, de aarde-achtige planeet die het dichtste bij de aarde ligt en die enkele jaren geleden werd ontdekt. Ross 128 b ligt met 11 lichtjaren afstand verder weg, maar zou wel betere omstandigheden hebben om er leven te herbergen.
De temperaturen zouden er gunstig genoeg zijn, met uitersten van weliswaar -60 graden Celcius, maar ook rond de 15 graden. Daardoor behoort meteen ook de aanwezigheid van vloeibaar water, een noodzakelijke voorwaarde voor de levensvormen die we tot nu toe kennen, tot de mogelijkheden.
“Gematigde wereld”
De brede temperatuurmarge weerhoudt de wetenschappers van het European Southern Observatory, die de ontdekking deden, er momenteel nog van de planeet “leefbaar” te noemen, maar de vooruitzichten zijn gunstig. Ze spreken over de “dichtstbijzijnde gematigde wereld rond een rustige ster ooit”.
De nieuwe planeet werd ontdekt met de HARPS-spectograaf (High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher) in de Chileense Atacama-woestijn. Ze moesten er tien jaar aan gegevens voor doorspitten. Pas na 157 observaties werd de planeet ontdekt.
“Bijzonder veelbelovend”
“Dit is spannender dan de ontdekking van Proxima Centauri b en bijzonder veelbelovend”, zegt Emily Rice van het American Museum of Natural History aan Gizmodo. “De ster rond de planeet is stiller en minder actief.” Het probleem met Proxima Centauri b is dat de ster errond massa’s ultraviolette en X-stralen uitstuurt die leven op de planeet onmogelijk maken. Dat is bij Ross 128 b niet het geval, de ster is een inactieve rode dwergster.
Proxima Centauri is de ster die zich het dichtst bij ons zonnestelsel bevindt, de planeet Proxima Centauri b bevindt zich op iets meer dan 4,2 lichtjaren afstand van de aarde.
“Mogelijk explodeert ster vroeg of laat”
Ook planeetonderzoeker Daphne Stam van de TU Delft is verheugd door de vondst: “Het is een mooie ontdekking, maar het betekent niet dat we meteen allemaal plannen kunnen gaan maken”, zegt ze. Ze verwacht dat de kans op leven niet zo groot is: “Het is een rode dwergster die nu rustig is, maar dat soort sterren staat er om bekend vroeg of laat te exploderen. De deeltjes die dan vrijkomen zijn vaak gevaarlijk voor levende organismen. Daarnaast is het nog maar de vraag of Ross 128 b überhaupt een atmosfeer en dus zuurstof heeft.”
Volgens Stam levert de vondst vooral veel interessante informatie op. Ze vervolgt: “We deden al onderzoek naar Proxima Centauri b, om te proberen te achterhalen wat voor soort wolken daar voorkomt. Die wolken vertellen namelijk iets over de temperatuur op een planeet. Bij deze nieuwe planeet zouden we dat ook graag doen.” Het feit dat Ross 128 b erg dicht bij de ster staat, maakt het lastig om hem te bestuderen. Door die positie is het volgens Stam namelijk moeilijk om het onderscheid te maken tussen het licht van de ster zelf en dat van de planeet. Stam: “En juist dat licht, en in het bijzonder de richting van de trillingen ervan, kunnen ons iets vertellen over de atmosfeer op een planeet.”
‘Dit soort sterren staat er om bekend vroeg of laat te exploderen. De deeltjes die dan vrijkomen zijn vaak gevaarlijk voor levende organismen’
Daphne Stam, TU Delft
Komt dichterbij
Ross 128 b staat twintig keer zo dicht bij zijn ster als de aarde bij de zon, maar de ster heeft ook maar 17 procent van de oppervlakte van de zon. Door de geringe afstand tot de ster draait Ross 128 b er elke 9,9 dagen rond. Bovendien komt Ross 128 b steeds dichter naar ons toe en zal de planeet over slechts 79.000 jaar Proxima Centauri b inhalen en de dichtstbijzijnde exoplaneet worden.
Bedoeling is nu Ross 128 b te blijven observeren, en te ontdekken waar de atmosfeer uit bestaat. De planeet staat zo dicht bij de aarde dat het relatief eenvoudig moet zijn om met de Extremely Large Telescope van ESO op zoek te gaan naar zuurstof in de atmosfeer.

Saudi Arabia's 400 ancient 'gate' structures found on the edge of volcanoes are shown in stunning new detail, but archaeologists STILL have no idea why they were built
Saudi Arabia's 400 ancient 'gate' structures found on the edge of volcanoes are shown in stunning new detail, but archaeologists STILL have no idea why they were built
The strange cluster, found in the Harrat Khaybar region, are 'the oldest man-made structures in the landscape'
They could only be studied using satellite imagery taken from Google Earth due to restrictions in the country
David Kennedy, of the University of Western Australia, was given special permission to fly over the structures
Some are up to 1,700 feet (518 metres) long and built across lava domes that may be thousands of years old
Some stone structures have been dubbed 'gates' because they appear to look like field gates from above
Incredible images shot from the sky have provided a glimpse of some of the 400 mysterious stone structures located in a remote desert area in Saudia Arabia.
Since the early 1950s, restrictions in the country have stymied further research of the baffling geometric shapes, which experts believe may be up to 7,000 years old.
With the rise of satellite imagery and Google Earth, tantalising new shots of the elusive earth works were revealed, affording new avenues for investigation.
Now, a leading archaeologist has been granted special permission to fly over the desolate lava fields of the Harrat Khaybar region, providing the clearest pictures yet of the enigmatic formations
Incredible images shot from the sky have provided a glimpse of some of the 400 mysterious stone structures located in a remote desert area in Saudia Arabia. A leading archaeologist was granted special permission to fly over the desolate lava fields of the region, providing the clearest pictures yet of the enigmatic formations. This image shows a 'keyhole pendant'
WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE 'GATES'?
Some of the stone walls have been dubbed the 'gates' because they appear to look like gates in a field from above.
The strange cluster 'appear to be the oldest man-made structures in the landscape' and some are up to 1,700 feet long and built across old lava domes.
The smallest gates are 43 feet (13 metres) in length while the longest are 1,699 feet (518 metres) long.
Experts say that thousands of years ago this area would have been much more hospitable than it is now.
Dr David Kennedy, of the University of Western Australia, has spent almost 20 years studying the 'Works of the Old Men', as they were named by the area's Bedouin population when questioned in the 1920s.
After his research hit the headlines in October, Dr Kennedy was given special dispensation by the Saudi government to take to the skies and conduct the first aerial survey in more than half a century.
There is no obvious explanation of why many of the shapes, which include gate-like structures, kites, pendants and keyholes, were built.
In many cases, they are so large that their shape is only revealed when viewed from above.
But experts believe that new aerial photography, combined with closer inspection on the ground, could one day lead to a breakthrough.
Dr Kennedy and colleagues used Google Maps to 'pin' some of the sites they were most interested in visiting.
They then spent three days flying in a Saudi Royal Commission helicopter, from October 27 to October 29, for a total of 15 hours, taking almost 6,000 photographs of around 200 sites.
Writing for LiveScience, Dr Kennedy said: 'The number of high-resolution "windows" on Google Earth has increased rapidly, especially since the launch of the Landsat 8 satellite in February 2013.
Dr David Kennedy, of the University of Western Australia, has spent almost 20 years studying the structures. Since the early 1950s, restrictions in the country have stymied further research of the baffling geometric shapes, like this triangle-shape seen pointing towards a bullseye, which experts believe may be up to 7,000 years old
After his research hit the headlines in October, Dr Kennedy was given special dispensation by the Saudi government to take to the skies to conduct the first aerial survey in more than half a century. The gate-like shape shown in this image is the fifth largest found so far, at 1,224 by 262 feet (373 by 80 metres)
WHY WERE THEY MADE?
A number of the designs appear to have astronomical significance and were built to align with the sunrise on the winter solstice
Some, such as 'kites', were believed to have been used to hunt animals.
Others, like the pendants, often lead from burial sites and may have had ritualistic significance in death rites.
'Google Earth will remain a useful tool for prospection. It is simple to "pin" and catalogue sites, measure them, sketch them and generate distribution maps for interpretation.
'The limitations are equally obvious, however. The imagery is two-dimensional, and even the best resolution can be very fuzzy when enlarged.
'Detail is missing, and some sites are effectively invisible for various reasons. And imagery may be months, or even years, old and thus less valuable for routine monitoring.'
Built across ancient lava domes, some of these strange features are more than four times the length of a football pitch.

Many of the structures have multiple stone walls that form a rectangular design whereas others - called 'I' type gates - have one stone wall with piles of stones at the ends.
Most of them were discovered through satellite surveys and archaeological fieldwork has yet been carried out. Previous research has found thousands of stone structures that form geometric patterns in the Middle East

Raadselachtige bouwwerken in Saudi-Arabië van dichtbij vastgelegd. Gaan deze luchtfoto’s het mysterie oplossen?
Raadselachtige bouwwerken in Saudi-Arabië van dichtbij vastgelegd. Gaan deze luchtfoto’s het mysterie oplossen?
Er zijn indrukwekkende beelden gemaakt van de 400 mysterieuze bouwwerken in een afgelegen woestijngebied in Saudi-Arabië.
Vanwege beperkingen die door de autoriteiten zijn opgelegd is onderzoek sinds de jaren vijftig vrijwel onmogelijk.
Volgens experts kunnen de raadselachtige geometrische vormen tot wel 7000 jaar oud zijn, meldt Live Science.
Werken van de Oude Mannen
Dankzij satellieten en Google Earth konden nieuwe beelden worden gemaakt van de bouwwerken.
Een vooraanstaande archeoloog heeft nu speciale toestemming gekregen om over de lavavelden in de regio Harrat Khaybar te vliegen en foto’s van dichtbij te maken.
Dr. David Kennedy van de University of Western Australia doet al bijna 20 jaar onderzoek naar de ‘Werken van de Oude Mannen’ zoals ze in de jaren twintig werden genoemd door de lokale bevolking.
Vanuit de lucht
Nadat zijn onderzoek in oktober het wereldnieuws haalde, gaf de Saudische overheid dr. Kennedy toestemming om de eerste luchtfoto’s van de patronen in ruim een halve eeuw te maken.
Het is niet duidelijk waarom deze structuren zijn gebouwd. In veel gevallen zijn ze zo groot dat hun vorm alleen vanuit de lucht duidelijk te zien is.
Experts denken dat de nieuwe luchtfoto’s en veldwerk op een dag kunnen leiden tot een doorbraak.
Vier voetbalvelden groot
Dr. Kennedy en zijn collega’s vlogen tussen 27 en 29 oktober in totaal 15 uur boven het gebied en maakten bijna 6000 foto’s van 200 bouwwerken.
Sommige zijn zo klein dat ze bijna onzichtbaar zijn, terwijl andere tot wel vier voetbalvelden groot zijn.
Jordanië
Eerder werden al duizenden stenen bouwwerken die geometrische patronen vormen gevonden in het Midden-Oosten.
Het ging daarbij onder meer om wielvormige patronen in Jordanië die zo’n 8500 jaar oud zijn.
Explore the ancient caves and labyrinths under Chichén Itzá, Mexico
Explore the ancient caves and labyrinths under Chichén Itzá, Mexico
Chichén Itzá is a complex of Mayan ruins on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. A massive step pyramid, known as El Castillo or Temple of Kukulcan, dominates the ancient city, which thrived from around 600 A.D. to the 1200s.
The mysteries of the Mayan “Snake God” could be revealed after scientists discovered a secret passage that would lead to an underground cave in the Kukulcan Temple, the name by which the Mayan deity is known as a feathered serpent, reports El Universal.
Unlike the European cosmogony that places deities in paradise; Mayan spirituality believed that the divine was in the underworld: that is why formations like caves and cenotes were so scared, because they were a means of access to the interior of the earth, according to the California State University scholar, James Brady.
Editor’s note:This article appeared in Issue 5 of Open Minds Magazine in 2011.
This report was originally published in the 1984 APRO Bulletin (newsletter of the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization). New illustrations have been provided by Jim MacNeill. The text of the original article has been slightly modified from its original version. The original can be found here.
Encounter in Alabama
The following case is the result of a lead furnished to APRO by Bob Gribble of the Phenomena Research Hot Line. The follow-up investigation was completed by Field Investigator Ed O. Brown. The name of the witness and some identifying names of the exact location have been changed to protect the principle, as requested.
Mrs. Pat Norris, twenty eight years old, lived with her husband, Carl, and three children in a suburb of Mobile, Alabama. On the evening of February 3, 1983, she had visited a friend in Mobile, and when the friend’s husband arrived from work, Mrs. Norris left and headed home on Highway 90. As she turned off the highway, she heard an explosion. At this point, her car began to vibrate, making it difficult for her to steer. She negotiated another turn off the road she was on, brought the car to a halt, opened the car door, and leaned out to ascertain the cause of the problem.
Object Seen
Mrs. Norris continued driving, and the vibrating stopped. She turned onto another road and saw that the woods ahead were brilliantly illuminated. At first she thought that there was a helicopter search in progress because of the lights, and she was very frightened. She again stopped the car, and at this point, she sighted a huge object about half a mile west of her. She later thought that the explosion she had heard earlier was the object coming down over a clay and gravel pit in the vicinity.

The thing was huge—later estimated to be seven to eight stories (70 to 80 feet) high and “six telephone poles” (210 feet) wide—and appeared to be moving toward her at four or five miles per hour. The evening had been clear and cool, and she had driven with the car windows closed. After the explosion, she noted a “chopping wind, a high-pitched sound, and a roaring sound” as well as the vibration. She noted the “whipping of the wind—like a tornado.”
Fear Gone
When the object reached a point fairly close to Mrs. Norris, the object halted and all of the noise stopped. It was completely silent, and Mrs. Norris lost all the fear she had felt before. She then got out of the car to get a better look. She strained to take in every detail—feeling like a child with “unbelievable happiness.”
Carl Norris, Pat’s husband, said that although his wife told him of her sighting after it happened, he didn’t realize how important it was to her until she started checking books out of the local library pertaining to UFOs and related subjects.
Mrs. Norris estimated the time duration of the sighting as five minutes. As the craft appeared, Mrs. Norris’s attention was drawn to a top deck with a long window she estimated to be fifty-three feet and through which she viewed twenty or thirty persons, apparently oblivious of her presence, walking about as if they were changing shift. The wall behind them was curved and white. There were no instruments. The people did not appear to look out the window. The beings were pale-skinned and dressed in white one-piece suits. She judged them to be about five-feet-ten-inches tall, quite slender, but with chests larger than ours, the top of the head more prominent, and no hair. She noticed nothing out of the ordinary about their eyes. What did draw her attention was the great grace of their movements. The overall atmosphere seemed “sterile.”

Details Observed
Below this top-deck window was an opaque window. The area around it was all white. This lower window was in sections and was inset. The glass was tinted.
Below the center of the craft, a door was closing from right to left. All across the craft, she saw rivets and portholes. She said she could see the portholes as she peered into the craft. She saw some construction that included “huge I beams like they put ships together with, and beams holding the glass in there.” The bottom side was tiered upwards. The construction reminded her of a ship or submarine. She said it seemed possible that it could have been constructed here on Earth.
The very bottom of the craft was formed into a cross, made with one foot mirrors and an observation deck hung down and around the bottom with beings in it. In this case, unlike the top deck, the people were peering out, while overhead she heard a very low-pitched but clearly audible (almost like a growl) “announcement” coming from the area of the observation deck.
Mrs. Norris said she believed that the beings didn’t realize she was there until they were directly over her position.
She saw four pipes projecting six to eight feet out from the craft set in three or four foot square boxes. They had a hollow flange on the end like a tank cannon, and she believed “it looked like a weapon.”
The craft took a southerly turn as it went on from where she was parked. She said it was staying in the wooded area and did not cross Highway 90 again. It lit up the wooded area and the area beneath it as it moved on. It had white spotlights, and it had blue and red lights on its sides that intermingled, pointing up to the clouds and then down to Earth.
After the object was out of sight, Mrs. Norris continued home, arriving at 1:10 a.m.
Fully autonomous weapons are now technologically viable. As a result, experts agree that it's time that the world's governments enforce regulation on these kinds of robots.
SLAUGHTERBOTS
A new short film illustrating the prospect of military drones has been commissioned for an event at the United Nations Convention on Conventional Weapons, which is being hosted by the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots.
The film presents a fictionalized scenario in which a tech company showcases and deploys its latest combat drone, which is capable of distinguishing the good guys from the bad guys. A montage of mock new reports illustrates what happens next, when the device’s true abilities are revealed and the machines begin killing off politicians and activists.
Stuart Russell, an artificial intelligence (AI) scientist at the University of California in Berkeley, is part of the group that will show the film to attendees. He has stated that the technology depicted in the film already exists, and it would actually be much easier to implement than self-driving vehicles.
Military drones are nothing new, having been used for reconnaissance missions as well as attacks. However, they have largely been operated by human pilots via remote control, whereas we’re now in a position to outfit these machines with automated targeting systems. This advancement would allow them to execute missions autonomously.
This situation is troubling enough in its own right, but there are also concerns about the potential for widespread proliferation. These drones could be manufactured en masse for a relatively small amount of money – and they could be used to enact the unthinkable if they were to fall into the wrong hands.
BAN THESE BOTS
The Campaign to Stop Killer Robots hopes to convince international authorities to establish a treaty that bans autonomous weapons. This would outlaw the large-scale manufacture of such machines, and apply oversight to any nation choosing to explore the technology.
“Pursuing the development of lethal autonomous weapons would drastically reduce international, national, local, and personal security,” argued Russell, according to a report from The Guardian. This line of thinking has been compared to the approach that prompted the Biological Weapons Convention.
As the underlying technology that facilitates this kind of weaponry has progressed, experts have realized the need to appeal to lawmakers. And, while calls for legislationhave been made for years, there has been a serious increase in activity over the course of 2017.
In August, Elon Musk led a host of prominent A.I. experts in signing an open letterthat outlined the dangers of autonomous weapons. In November, scores of experts reached out to the Australian and Canadian heads of state, urging them to take action.

Between 1962 and 2009, the British Government’s Ministry of Defence (MoD) had a UFO desk and telephone hotline that collected around 11,000 cryptic sightings from across the United Kingdom. The files are now accessible to the public, and among the reports on flying saucers and inexplicable lights in the night sky are drawings that attempt to describe their fleeting forms. As part of its new Four Corners Irregular series on modern British visual culture, Four Corners Books has published selections of this alien art in UFO Drawings From The National Archivesby David Clarke.
A US release of the book is planned for February 2018. As Clarke, a reader and principal lecturer in journalism at Sheffield Hallam University, explains in a book essay, the first release of UFO documents in 2007 came after years of effort:
The opening of these formerly secret files was a personal victory for me. For a decade before the MoD’s announcement I had waged a long campaign, using new powers under Britain’s Freedom of Information Act (FOI), for the full disclosure of Britain’s UFO files. From 2005, when the act came into force, I used a series of targeted FOI requests under the new act to persuade the Ministry of Defence to make their UFO material available for academic researchers. I argued there was a genuine public interest in how the government had investigated sightings of mysterious objects in the sky and that, by embracing greater openness, they could dispel many misconceptions about a subject long mired in unnecessary secrecy.
Then there was a strange twist where Clarke, long on the other side of access, was invited to work with the British National Archives during the release of the MoD UFO files. The project culminated in 2017, with a dedicated online UFO portal from the National Archives with thousands of digitized files. In UFO Drawings, Clarke delves into the history of MoD and the rise of UFO sightings following World War II. The overriding question, as put forth by Winston Churchill in 1952, was: “What does all this stuff about flying saucers amount to? What can it mean? What is the truth?”
Clarke was particularly interested in how UFOs were depicted in art, whether crude crayon on construction paper drawings by elementary school children who collectively witnessed a flying saucer in 1977, or a beautifully painting bright white object observed over a roof in Harborne in 1975.
“Viewed from a purely aesthetic viewpoint, sketches of UFOs made by schoolchildren or policemen might appear naïve or worthless,” he writes. “But as visual evidence of unusual sightings that are deeply meaningful and significant to those individuals who see UFOs, they are uniquely valuable historical documents in their own right, and shed light on how the events and popular culture of the age imprinted on people’s imaginations.”
Indeed, UFO sightings spiked around cultural moments such as the 1977 film Close Encounters of the Third Kind. A rocket-shaped craft viewed through a telescope in Hampstead in 1972 looks strikingly like one from the 1960s science fiction television show, Thunderbirds. Yet there’s an incredible diversity of shapes, colors, and movement of the UFOs, ranging from huge hovering eggs, to dark triangular ships and soaring discs.
Each of the sketches, paintings, and even a few photographs in UFO Drawings is joined by a personal account. For a 1998 illustration of a salmon-hued, crop circle-creating orb adorned with Egyptian ankhs — a vision that seems fueled by Sun Ra’s cosmic Afrofuturism — the Oxfordshire correspondent wrote: “I have developed contact with this craft and their energy forces but unfortunately the designs I am perceiving are too complex for me to draw … these include anti-gravitational fields that allow the craft to access time.” A police officer in 1966 soberly diagrammed an object “the length of a bus” that “emanated a greenish grey glow.” An RAF intelligence officer later interviewed the man, and reported “there is no reason to doubt the fact that this constable saw something completely foreign to his previous experience.”
Every drawing is an artifact of the modern enigma of UFO sightings, and how our hopes and anxieties for a connection with other worlds rose in the late 20th century. The MoD desk may now be closed, but these personal experiences, and their visual record, are evidence of a widespread, mysterious phenomenon.
The good guys call themselves the Future of Life Institute. The bad guys are smart drones called Slaughterbots that can swarm a crowd yet kill precisely, delivering an explosive to the forehead of selected individuals while letting the others run in terror … or cheer the killing. While it sounds like a great plot for a dystopian movie or a sci-fi series, the Future of Life Institute is a real organization. And the Slaughterbots?
“Slaughterbots” the video (link here) was released this week by the Future of Life Institute at the United Nations Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons held in Geneva. The purpose of the Convention “is to ban or restrict the use of specific types of weapons that are considered to cause unnecessary or unjustifiable suffering to combatants or to affect civilians indiscriminately.” The mission of the Future of Life Institute is “To catalyze and support research and initiatives for safeguarding life and developing optimistic visions of the future, including positive ways for humanity to steer its own course considering new technologies and challenges.” The purpose of the video is “safeguarding life” from tiny autonomous armed drones that can kill without human initiation based on things like data collected from social media.
Uh-oh.
The Future of Life Institute created the fictional (for now) video in conjunction with the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots, an international coalition working to preemptively ban fully autonomous weapons. It sound like the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons is the perfect place to fight for such a ban … if it’s not too late.
Stuart Russell — Professor of Computer Science and Smith-Zadeh Professor in Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, and a leading AI researcher – closes the video with a warning about Slaughterbots:
“Its potential to benefit humanity is enormous, even in defense. But allowing machines to choose to kill humans will be devastating to our security and freedom. Thousands of my fellow researchers agree. We have an opportunity to prevent the future you just saw, but the window to act is closing fast.”
The goal of the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots is not to restrict innovation in AI and drones but to stop the use if AI for selecting and killing without having a human in the decision-making process or pulling the trigger. The AI technology shown in the video is admittedly fictional but the components are recognizable in current devices, drones and social media.
Perhaps the most disturbing part of the video is not the killing but the cheering. It’s just as easy to imagine this happening as well. Maybe that’s what the powers-that-be should focus on when deciding whether to ban slaughterbots.
We live in an ever developing, technological world full of amazing new discoveries, slick gadgetry, and constant incredible breakthroughs in science. It sometimes seems that in this rapidly advancing society of technological wizardry that there is no place anymore for such arcane things as charms, totems, or cursed items or haunted items, and that these are surely the relics of a fading, dying past mired in the murky word of the supernatural and occult. Yet these things still lurk out in the periphery, and in at least one case the worlds of high technology and the supernatural have managed to collide in the oddest of ways.
One of the more fascinating inventions of recent times is the process of 3D printing, in which a 3-dimensional object is recreated layer by layer based on computer controlled data and scans of a model. Such objects can be fashioned of almost any material and can be a wide range of sizes or shapes, making the potential applications of the process virtually limitless. Indeed, 3D printing has been used in the automotive industry, the medical field, the military, the clothing industry, you name it. Tools, toys, parts, firearms, automotive and electrical components, scientific instruments, medical implants, prosthetic limbs, even food, it seems almost anything can be conjured up seemingly from thin air by 3D printing in this day and age. Bizarrely, and perhaps inevitably, 3D printing has even been used to reproduce actual haunted, cursed objects. Wait, what?
3D printing
The whole weird experiment started with the alleged discovery of a strange hand-carved statue supposedly found by some hikers stashed away and abandoned, quite possibly hidden, in a dim cave somewhere in the Catskill Mountains of New York. The doll is creepy to say the least, with a length of filthy cord wrapped around its neck and rusty nails driven into its eyes, and it seems like the sort of thing most people would cringe at and leave lying where it was, but in this case the hikers took it home with them. It is a decision they would apparently later regret.
Almost immediately strange phenomena purportedly began to occur around the house, starting with inexplicable bumps, knocks, thuds, thumps, and other anomalous noises in the night when no one else was around, mixed with the persistent, intangible sense of being watched, but it quickly graduated to more frightening fare. Shadowy apparitions began to be seen lurking about, odd smells such as that of stagnant water or decay would appear and disappear, and it was reported that the strange doll would move on its own, changing locations when no one was looking and almost always later found in a different room from where it was left, and even tiny muddy footprints were allegedly discovered around the house. The pet dog of the house was apparently terrified of it and peed in the house on several occasions even though it never had done that before, and would often refuse to enter the premises at all. On one occasion the homeowner claims that they saw an entity crouching in a darkened room that looked like a haggard old crone completely naked and dripping with water, with reflective eyes like those of a cat, leading to the doll’s sinister nickname “The Crone of the Catskills.”
The seemingly possessed object drew great interest from paranormal investigators Dana Matthews & Greg Newkirk, who were able to acquire it for their spooky Traveling Museum of the Paranormal and Occult, a vast repository of some of the world’s most haunted or cursed objects. It is definitely one of the creepier museums out there, and it seems that the Crone would be perfectly at home here. And it was, in the sense that it went right on with its scary bag of tricks. On various occasions the figure was said to knock over furniture and a plastic figure of Jesus Christ on a wooden crucifix from the wall, pulling out the nails out in the process that were never found, as well as leave its muddy footprints all over the museum and the smell of fetid pond water in its wake, and there is one instance in which the Warrens claim to have captured video footage of the statue actually moving.
There were times when heavy furniture toppled over for no apparent reason to almost smash the museum owners or their guests, and the doll was known to roll off of tables on its own. More sinister still were reports of those who touched or even looked at the Crone the wrong way becoming violently ill or ending up in freak accidents. A burning, itching sensation was not uncommon for people who gazed at it too long, and there was a general natural aversion people felt in its presence, as if they were being repelled and pushed away. People who physically touched the figurine had it the worse, allegedly being overcome with sudden and inexplicable violent seizures and prompting the enactment of a strict no-touching rule for the cursed object. Indeed, the Crone was soon wrapped up in a pillowcase, stashed in a padlocked box, and taken out of the exhibition. The statue did not respond to any attempts to placate it, and things supposedly got so bad that the directors, who remember were housing the scariest, most haunted items on the planet, didn’t even want it anymore, and they mulled over putting the doll back into the cave where it had been found. For now it remains with the museum on a no-touch basis, and is rarely shown to visitors.
The Crone of the Catskills
It seems like a good plan to put it back, as it is apparent that disturbing its resting place caused whatever ominous and malignant force is attached to it to lash out, but before doing that it was decided to make it the subject of an off-the-wall experiment thought up by paranormal researchers Karl Pfieffer and Connor Randal. They proposed trying what is perhaps the world’s first attempt to 3D print a haunted object, while at the same time attempting to communicate with the malevolent, restless entity attached to it via psychic and livestreaming the whole thing on a museums member’s only Facebook page, on Halloween night no less. Other 3D scanning projects soon followed, including that of a haunted mask and various cursed idols, in a project meant to create a 3D catalogue of haunted and cursed items. 3D printing a cursed object inhabited by a very pissed off, very aggressive evil force or spirit, what could possibly go wrong? Apparently, making 3D prints of these haunted objects had some strange consequences, including freak equipment malfunctions, almost as if the objects did not want to be scanned, and museum founder Greg Newkirk explained some of these unexplainable issues thus:
We’ve had equipment malfunction in bizarre ways, artifacts mysteriously go missing before we can scan them, and just two weeks ago, we went to print a 3D duplicate of a haunted mask we’ve named The Fetid Face and it completely melted the printer. It destroyed the equipment.
Some artifacts are so plagued with problems that no successfully scan can be made. On top of this, some of the 3D scan prints have been claimed to have exhibited strange phenomena in their own right after the printing, as if some of the ghostly energy from their progenitor has attached itself to these copies as well. Concerning the strange defiance of being printed shown by some objects and the odd tendency for the prints to mimic certain aspects of the paranormal from their parent, Newkirk has said:
In hindsight, I guess we should have anticipated this, but when it comes to working with haunted artifacts in new, unexplored ways, you never know what’s going to happen. We’re attempting something that’s never been done before, laying the groundwork for future study of paranormally-active objects. There are going to be quirks we can’t see coming. Members will email us and let us know that something strange is happening with their copy. Maybe it’s possible that we’ve captured more than just the image of these artifacts in the scan – maybe we’re actually capturing a bit of their essence.
It seems like with 3D printing people will try and make or replicate just about anything, and it seems that we have officially stepped into the world of recreating cursed objects. Good idea or not (probably not), there are some interesting issues this raises, not the least of which is just what quality does an object possess that makes it haunted in the first place, and what anchors a spirit or ghost to it? Is it the object itself or some mysterious unseen quality permeating it? Are these prints upsetting or confusing the spirits? If the object were to be replicated perfectly down to the last molecule would the entity then be anchored to that thing as well or would a curse cling to the replica? It is all a curious little mental exercise to contemplate, and a new dimension on the nature of ghosts and cursed items. Or maybe it is all a bunch of rubbish and there are not ghosts or curses to begin with? Whether one believes in the supernatural or not, the project of 3D printing haunted items is certainly an odd little curiosity that melds the dark world of the paranormal with the shiny toys of modern technology.
Saucers, triangles and orbs appear to be so yesterday when it comes to UFO shapes these days. Just this week, stories came in from China and California about UFOs shaped like donuts, bowls and rings. Is this the start of the new model year for alien spacecrafts? If so, the photographs and video are unusually clear and suitable for ad campaigns.
The first comes from Lake Dianchi in China’s Yunnan Province where John Chen, on vacation from Taiwan, took some nice clear pictures of birds in the sky above the lake using a camera that was much more in focus than he was because he didn’t see the donut-shaped UFO floating over the horizon until looking at the pictures at home.
“It’s very curious. I don’t know what it is so my suggestion is that it’s a UFO. It doesn’t make any sense.”
The UFO actually looks more like a French cruller than a donut, but the image (seen here) was sharp enough to convince Chen to send it to British UFO researcher Philip Mantle, who reportedly shared it with fellow experts and could not determine what exactly the UFO was. Since Chen doesn’t remember seeing it, there’s no data on its movements. It’s definitely an odd shape for an aircraft, so lighter-than-air trash seems to be leading in the polls.
The next photo is one of those “I took this 10 years ago but just decided to show it now” kind of revelations, but it’s interesting because of its clarity and its alleged proximity to a US naval base with a China connection. The Daily Express says the photographer used the pseudonym “Keith Bradshaw” (never a good sign) and there are no corroborating reports outside of the British tabloid family. “Bradshaw” says he took the photo (seenhere) in 2007 near the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake in the Western Mojave Desert after a friend told him about it.
“This thing would wobble along close to the ground, very unstable. Then it would freeze in position, go up to a certain height and sit there for a few minutes, perfectly still. It made no noise that I could hear.”
Unfortunately, he didn’t get a video of the bowl-on-a-bowl-shaped UFO, nor of the helicopter flying above and around it. He says he suspects the helicopter may have been controlling it and the craft was too small for a human to ride in. Nonetheless, his photo also ended up in the hands of Philip Mantle, who reportedly said he’s never seen anything like this in 40 years and:
“This could turn out to be one of the most controversial UFO photo cases on record.”
Or it could be a fake. Other experts pointed out that it could be a sophisticated (for 2007) drone, and noted the military would have had more security if it was something truly top secret. ‘Hoax’ is getting the most votes here.
The third sighting – a ring-shaped cloud tinged orange from the sun – was allegedly taken in Shangrao in the Jiangxi Province. It looks like there were plenty of witnesses. (video and photos here). This type of UFO is generally identified as a vortex ring, which can be the result of a cannon firing (these are popular at festivals), an explosion or a spherical mass of fast-moving air meeting another mass of stationary air. One thing is for sure – they’re not alien spacecrafts or deemed worthy of evaluation by UFO experts.

Pyramids Asteroid Deflectors, Bible Records Stones Falling From Heaven, Prehistoric Art Shows Evidence for UFO intervention, A Glowing Object Passes Over, Frozen 3000 Year Old Aircraft Shock and Fake News and Selective News Continues.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Arizona, California, Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, and /Washington.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: Canada, Germany, Japan, Spain, Sweden, and England and Wales in the United Kingdom.
The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The US Air Force investigated UFOs publicly for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

President Carter Told Shirley MacLaine about UFOs
According to a Larry King Show a few years ago, Actress Shirley MacLaine revealed that President Carter told her about UFO crashes and alien bodies. The transcript of this exchange started with a caller from Cocoa, Florida. Larry King: “Cocoa Florida with Shirley MacLaine, hello”
Caller: hello, good evening Larry and Shirley
King: Hi.
Caller: About two weeks ago, Nicholas Cage was on the Letterman Show and said Shirley had told him that President Carter had told her he had seen recovered alien spacecraft and aliens in a hanger. Can you tell me exactly what President Carter said?
Shirley MacLaine wrote, “I think of life itself now as a wonderful play that I’ve written for myself, and so my purpose is to have the utmost fun playing my part.” Shirley McLain: “He didn’t tell me that but he told me many times that when I first wrote “” that he would support me, that it was true, that there were crafts, that he believed there were occupants, why should we be the only people in the universe. He wanted to shine the sunshine laws on intelligence, to expose it, to see how the people would react, but he didn’t and wouldn’t and couldn’t as he explained to me.” Note: “Out On a Limb” discusses the evidence for UFOs
King: back with our remaining moments with Shirley McLain right after this. (Larry King Show, May 1995)
While Alabama Governor a reporter taped Carter’s exact words in 1973 describing the UFO sighting.
The 39th President of the U.S. Carter said, [Carter’s report stated “10 members of the Leary, Ga., Lions Club”], ‘There were about 20 of us standing outside of I believe, a high school lunchroom, and a kind of green light appeared in the western sky. This was right after sundown. It got brighter and brighter, and then eventually it disappeared. It didn’t have any solid substance to it; it was just a very peculiar looking light. None of us could understand what it was…”
Sheaffer gave the source as from the documentary recording “Factual Eyewitness Testimony of UFO Encounters” (Chicago: Investigative Research Associates, Inc. 1978)”
Attorney Dan Sheehan, who worked for President Jimmy Carter, claimed Carter had seen a UFO while in the Navy. The Carter sighting while running for governor in Georgia was apparently his second sighting.
Disclosure Could Happen
My experience has been the aliens want disclosure based on their showing off their craft, abductions and meetings and contacts with thousands of people. I am suggesting contact is an integral part of their cosmic plan to gradually instruct humans to learn they are not alone in the Universe. It is apparent many political leaders of various countries have been contacted or at least witnessed the craft. Several have made open declarations, about UFOs but generally the news media fails to report or promote the stories. It is my opinion that the aliens as some claim are our ancestors. Many aliens show their belief in a creator God, who likely sent workers/angels to create us. Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea. and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”My point is he likely sent his workers/angels to carry out his plan.
The disclosure is being accomplished slowly and cannot be done in a helter-skelter fashion. It will follow the protocol of the prophetic tradition with a designated prophet such as the President or multiple leaders world from several countries who will publically announce, we are not alone. For awhile it looked like President Reagan was the designated prophet and Hillary claimed if elected she was going to reveal the secrets you readers know are true. I feel our visitors control more of what happens in the world than we realize. They have the ability to telecommunicate to our brains through dreams and ideas. They may decide who is elected and push their purposes on human kind.
What is the likely mission of the visitors. We have a wonderful planet that may be desire able new planet to occupy. Abductees are frequently told humans are destroying the planet environmentally. They may prefer to have less of us or at least those who attempt to protect the earth. Wars, disease, starvation all limit earth’s population.
The focused penetration by the visitors into the heart of the military-industrial complex forms the solid core of the entire UFO phenomenon.
Space X Rocket Explosion
Donnie Brooke writes, “Do we know if another UFO was involved in the most recent explosion.. I have pics of the September 1, 2016 Explosion.” To my knowledge no.
SpaceX is narrowing down the possible sources of the explosion, it still has yet to determine what caused the breach in the helium system. It is possible a UFO’s strong electrical propulsion system cause helium to ignite?
Meanwhile, SpaceX says it’s working to get back to spaceflight as soon as possible, still targeting to launch again in November. The company has the option of launching from two other launch pads: one at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, and another launch pad at Launch Complex 39A in Cape Canaveral, which will be ready to support Falcon 9 flights in November.
Additionally, the company is still working on getting its vehicles ready for NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, in which SpaceX is supposed to start transporting astronauts to and from the International Space Station in the next couple of years. The company hinted that figuring out the source of the September explosion will make the Commercial Crew Program more robust. “Getting back to flight safely and reliably is our top priority, and the data gathered from the present investigation will result in an even safer and more reliable vehicle for our customers and partners,” said SpaceX.

Structures on the Moon
I have had the pleasure of talking to John Brandenburg, PhD who is a plasma physicist. He did his graduate work in California at Lawrence Livermore National Lab in controlled plasmas for fusion power, and has worked in defense, energy, and space research.
Dr. Brandenburg was also part of the Navy Clementine Mission to the Moon which discovered water at the Moon’s poles. He feels a mile long structure on the moon represents an alien structure. The Clementine Mission was sent to determine if the exterrestrials had continued expanding or building additional lunar bases. These are not geological structures and appear to be turbine generators, towers, a bridge, and mining facilities.
Have You Had A Close Encounter?
Dr. Roger Lear and Mr. Derrel Sims, in a meeting in Thousand Oaks, California demonstrated revolutionary findings about markings on the skin of people who feel they have been abducted. These markings were not visible to the naked eye, but were discovered incidentally while standing under a ‘black light.’
Black Light shows Marks of Abduction
What appeared was fluorescent markings on the facial area, hands, arms, stomach — and also elsewhere. The colors were greenish, and not able to be either washed or scrubbed off. The markings were sub-derminal and can last from one hour up to ten days, as far as research till now have proven. Mr. Sims could not explain how these markings were made. Abductees, all upon having marks, have through hypnotic sessions explained they have undergone examination onboard alien craft. The only time variation occurred in the color was among some female abductees that claimed to have been onboard the craft, holding and nurturing hybrid babies. These women had red fluorescent marks, on their palms, necks and face, where one would expect close contact holding a baby.
Keep a black light lamp at home, if you suspect that you are among the abductee group. Memories are most often erased upon awakening the next morning after a nocturnal meeting. Sometimes only a vague flash will remind you of what has occurred during the night. If you want to check it out, keep a black light at home, the kind that often is used at Halloween giving off a bluish light. Check out your arms and face in the morning. The ones we saw, were random, non-figurative marks to markings that were figurative. One doctor had found an illuminative mark that looked as if it were ‘stamped’ on his upper arm. Some types of makeup may leave marks but this is usually where the makeup has been applied If you find such marks, please notify us immediately and we will attempt to check into your case. Most people are not aware of being abducted, and only start to remember years later. Thanks to Pleiades
Pyramids Asteroid Deflectors
Bill Sells writes, I believe the pyramids were asteroid deflectors as they were originally covered in polished limestone. I believe large ruby stones were placed at the top of each for the generation of a lens to focus the laser beams in tri-angulated firing to deflect incoming asteroids.
Edgar Casey stated this same theory while in trance years ago. You just have to nudge the asteroid a degree for deflection from Earth’s path and that is what was done. A shame they are still not operational today. But maybe our scientists will learn from the distant past how to protect this planet. We need to build a similar system in same area to cover the whole planetary areas. I believe we can duplicate this power source again. Thanks to Bill Sells.
Note: There is significant evidence around the Earth that the planet was regularly hit by asteroids, or that some exploded has they came close to Earth. by Russell Grigg
Bible Records Stones Falling From Heaven
Joshua 10:11–13 reads: ‘And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Beth-horon, that the Lord cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died. Then spoke Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and He said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher?2 So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.’
It appears to have been midday or after (Hebrew: sun in the midst of the sky).3 And the author is telling us that the sun did not proceed to set for a period of a completed day, which may have been a few hours or for a whole day. The Earth may have continued to rotate normally but something in space reflected the sun to the Earth.
Joshua records in great detail the occupation of Canaan by Israel and the allotment of the land among the tribes, around 1400 BC, so the author is obviously writing a historical account of what happened. The occasion of the long day was during a battle between the combined armies of the five Amorite kings and the army of Israel. With the help of God, the Israelites were winning the battle and needed more time on this day to complete the victory. Many cultures have legends that seem to be based on this event. For example, there is a Greek myth of Apollo’s son, Phaethon, who disrupted the sun’s course for a day. And since Joshua 10 is historical, cultures on the opposite side of the world should have legends of a long night. In fact, the New Zealand Maori people have a myth about how their hero Maui slowed the sun before it rose, while the Mexican Annals of Cuauhtitlan (the history of the empire of Culhuacan and Mexico) records a night that continued for an extended time.https://creation.com/j
Prehistoric Art Shows Evidence for UFO intervention
The paintings and artifacts of the great caves particularly in France and Spain until relatively recent times lay hidden and ignored. Experts claim that Paleolithic art dates from 35,000 to 40,000 years ago. Just consider what happened when modern humans moved into Lascaux Cave ‘France
Europe about 40 000 years ago,” says paleontologist Professor Chris Stringer of the Natural History Museum in London. “We had to share it with the Neanderthals who had been doing quite nicely there for at least 200 000 years. Yet within 10 000 years of our arrival, we had rendered them extinct — and they were our closest relatives. “Of course, they shared exactly the same habitats as ourselves and so were the first to go.” The Homo Sapiens recorded their life styles and conquests by painting amazingly accurate pictures of animals such as bison, horses, antelopes, mammoths–that were almost universally found in the area. But in addition there were figures of humans, birds, and tectiforms. They are painted in such a way as to indicate they are flying usually above the other figures.
In Philip Van Doren Stern’s book “the Beginnings of Art” states, “Careful examination of the art itself has challenged many long held opinions about the intellectual capabilities of prehistoric men. This book reveals that prehistoric art was anything but mindless –it made extensive use of symbolism. It reflected definite cultural and religious traditions; it revealed the artist’s personal feelings. . it attempted to communicate a way of life. Much of the content of cave paintings is understandable –for example the endless depiction of animals that provided food, clothing and other necessities for prehistoric man. But there are very surprising elements as well. Very little combat or violence is portrayed, despite the savagery of life in Stone Age times. Symbolic clusters of dots and lines appear extensively but their meanings are unclear. One that is, is a strange looking flying shape that appears in both Cougnac and Pech-Merle in the Dordogne. These caves are only fifty miles apart. Other “flying shapes occur in places farther away”. Cover and Page120. Tectiforms look like flying saucers or flying house shaped figures.
Dr. Michael Rappenglueck of the University of Munich told BBC News Online that he has found star maps within the cave paintings of France and Spain. The maps discovered at Lascaux in central France, ” painted over the shoulder of a bull show
Lascaux Cave, France Pleiades Drawing
six bright stars known as the Pleiades or Seven Sisters. The caves could be a prehistoric planetarium in which humanity first charted the stars. ” Showing this part of the sky stretches back seventeen thousand years.” Some aliens are thought to be from the Pleiades Another cluster of stars known as the Summer Triangle representing the three present stars Vega, Deneb and Altair has also been identified in a cave in Spain.” ‘It is a map of the prehistoric cosmos indicating our ancestors knew the Zodiac 17,000 years ago, and were more sophisticated than many believe.” Dr. Rappenglueck. ‘It was their sky, full of animals and spirit guides.'” Philip Van Doren Stern’s
A Glowing Object Passes Over
Genesis 15:17-18 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces. This is the first indication that a glowing cylindrical fire-pot flying object (Shekinah glory of God) is associated with the Elohim. The word ‘passed’ is more properly rendered ‘passed over’. Furnace = fire pot. Smoking = vapor. Lamp = shining. Burning = fire. So what is being said is that something resembling a shining cylindrical fire-pot passed over after dark. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram and said, ‘to your descendants I five this land.’
Frozen 3000 Year Old Aircraft Shock
Dr. Hovind writes “Aircraft have been found buried in ice in Greenland that are more than 3,000 years old according to the ice melting rings . You’re kidding!” laughed the lab worker quipped Kent. “! In case you don’t know, I work at the Denver National Ice Core Laboratory here in Colorado. And we’ve been taking cores of ice from Greenland and Antarctica. It’s dry… very cold… the glaciers are MILES THICK… but their annual growth rings are very THIN.” “We’ve measured the ice… and I tell you, man, it’s 135,000 years old! Your 4,000 years is a joke.” “I’d like to see your lab,” said Kent, calmly. The next day my friend Kent met the worker at the lab. The employee ushered him into the giant freezer which stored the long cores from ice drilling. “See this core from Greenland?” said the worker. “We drilled down and brought it up from 10,000 feet. See the rings? This core takes us back 135,000 years. You’ll notice the rings along its length… dark – light – dark – light.“Well, these represent annual rings, because in summer the top layer of snow melts and then re-freezes as clear ice, which shows up dark here. In winter, the snow doesn’t get a chance to melt, so it packs – and shows up as a white layer. These layers of dark – light – dark – light, indicate 135,000 summers and winters.”
Dr. Hovind looked him in the eye. “Aren’t you assuming those are annual rings?” Let’s step back a few years… to the famous lost squadron.
THE LOST SQUADRON
In 1942, during World War II, some war planes landed in Greenland. When the war ended, those planes were left there and forgotten. In 1990, an aircraft enthusiast came up with the bright idea to find them and fly them off again. He organized a group and they went searching. As it turned out, they had to use radar, because the planes were under the ice… in fact, so deep under the ice, the men had a hard job finding them. Do you know, that lost squadron had got covered by 263 feet of ice in 48 years!
Let’s do some arithmetic. * 263 feet divided by 48 years… that’s an ice growth of about 5.5 feet per year. Now divide 10,000 feet by 5.5. And you get 1,824 years for ALL of the ice to build up. We should allow longer for the fact that the deeper ice is pressed into finer layers. Note: those planes did not sink into the ice, due to pressure on the ice. The ice had grown OVER them.
ARE THESE ANCIENT AIRCRAFT IN ICE?
Okay, would you do some math? Can you work this out,? The Denver National Ice Core Laboratory said that 10,000 feet of ice had to be 135,000 years old! So the 263 feet deep of “Lost Squadron” ice – how old should that be? That’s right… 3,419 years old. Does that mean those aircraft are 3,419 years old? What do you think?
HERE COMES THE SEQUEL
In April, 1999, Kent visited Bob Cardin at his museum in Middleboro, Kentucky. Cardin had dug out and was restoring the P-38. You may be wondering, how did they get that plane out? Ingenious. They had melted a hole down to the airplane, broken it apart and brought up the pieces through the hole.“When you dug it out,” asked Kent, “did you see any layers of ice… dark – light – dark – “Yeah, I did, as a matter of fact.”“How many layers of ice were there?”“Many hundreds of them.”HUNDREDS OF RINGS IN 48 YEARS? “How could there be many hundreds of annual rings in only 48 years?”“THOSE ARE NOT ANNUAL RINGS. That’s not summer and winter,” replied Cardin. “ It’s warm – cold – warm – cold – warm –cold. You can get ten of those in one day.”And that’s a fact!
Yet, the scientific elite was still calling them annual rings. Somebody’s either is ignorant… or lying.
I’m worried. The textbooks you read today are textbooks not only about science, but about evolution. They’re trying to sneak evolution in with the science. Sneaking beer ads in with football matches doesn’t mean beer is football. Sneaking evolution in with the science, doesn’t make it science.
John Colaw writes, “I notice in reading the Executive Summary of Dr. Greer’s Disclosure Project, mention is made as to no violent acts on the part of UFOs have been recorded.” Quite the contrary. There were numerous incidents in the mid-seventies in which UFOs took hostile or disabling action against some of our most classified military satellites that could track the UFOs. We nearly went to war with Russia over some of this activity, and we made limited but aggressive responses against them.
Filer, Greer, Wegandt, Hare at Disclosure Project
The Deep Space system tracking fast walkers was involved in the reporting of this activity, including the Big Dish at Tidbinbilla near Canberra, Australia. I personally handled some of the communications regarding some of those incidents, so I know it to be true. I do not believe in fearful attitudes, yet also must speak up that caution is always the wise approach when dealing with the welcoming of strangers. I support the efforts of the disclosure project as far as disclosing the truth about the continued and long term presence of extraterrestrials and their craft on our planet. But I question any implications that the intentions and documented and reported actions of these various ETs are purely benevolent.
The truth in these matters will remain elusive, in part due to the conflicting agendas of those involved in the fray of the debates or revelations. But also due to the inherent paradigm shattering implications as those who thought it impossible are met with credible proof of ETs and UFOs. The campaign of disinformation will continue and discernment will be worthy attribute indeed. The Disclosure Project is to be commended in its public approach towards confronting our leadership with this onslaught of evidence and testimony. Bringing UFO research further into legitimacy in the public eye is an additional benefit to the worthy goal of eventual full disclosure. Regards, John Colaw
Contact By Non Human Entities
Paul Shishis writes, I received a email from Brendan from Milton, Ontario who is experiencing the totally bizarre contact by non human entities of sorts. This all started for him four years ago – not before the sheer paranormal has been growing more so in this last year for him. It’s has been quite overwhelming for ALL he has been experiencing. His witness close friends that have been with him at night will only acknowledge what they witness and will not talk further to him about it.
Brendan says he has witnessed over a dozen types of beings including non physical types. One even had like an elephant ‘s trunk. This 40 year old family man sheet metal worker says, “I been burned, waxed and chipped ‘like a tagged and monitored animal. He has noted another human party monitoring the area and him. Here with Brenda’s permission to release the following image to share. This attached picture was taken by him in late Spring 2017 and has witnessed a couple of UFO’s near a farmers store in Milton, Ontario. Ones which he refers to the large bulbous headed ones, they appear to be on the ground at the time that he did not notice taking the picture. He was focused looking up to film the UFO’s above. Thanks to Paul Shishis More to follow…
Fake News and Selective News Continues
While the broadcast networks all eagerly hyped social media executives being hauled before Congress on Tuesday to testify about Russian interference in the 2016 election, only CBS covered a revelation from the hearing that Russia sought to undermine Donald Trump’s legitimacy as president after the campaign was over.
“Face book’s attorney said those Russian ads and posts did not stop after the election. In fact, they just changed their focus and were aimed at sowing discord in the country and raising doubts about President Trump’s legitimacy,” correspondent Nancy Cordes reported at the end of a full report on the hearing for Wednesday’s CBS This Morning.
Devin Kelley, the 26-year-old suspect in the mass shooting at First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springsthat left at least 26 people dead and another 20 injured, was an avowed atheist not mentioned by the TV news. It is easy to find his rants against Christianity and there is no God on line. A missing person report claimed the shooter, who was in the Air Force, was ordered to submit to mental health treatment after admitting he beat his first wife and stepson. He received a bad conduct discharge and sentenced to a year in prison.. One attack on the child left him with a skull fracture.
Five years ago, the gunman was sent to an inpatient mental health facility in New Mexico but escaped and fled to Texas. On June 13, 2012, Devin Kelley, 26, reportedly fled the Peak Behavioral Health Services Center in Santa Teresa, New Mexico.
On the night of October 1, 2017, a gunmen opened fire on a crowd of 22,000 concertgoers at the country music festival on the Las Vegas Strip leaving 58 people dead and 546 injured. Between 10:05 and 10:15 p.m. PDT, allegedly 64-year-old
Stephen Paddock of Mesquite, Nevada, fired hundreds of rifle rounds from his suite on the 32nd floor of the nearby Mandalay Bay hotel. That is the official version but he death of the alleged killer in Las Vegas does not fit the eye witness testimony that firing was observed from several casino locations.
Paddock recently won $40,000 on a slot machine and is a millionaire, his brother, and has never hurt anyone Eric Paddock, told The Associated Press.
Allegedly a lone security officer entered the shooters room who had set up TV in the hall to worn of intruders, was shot and killed by the security officer with a handgun against a man with a room full of automatic weapons. We are told a millionaire businessman decided to kill dozens of people but was killed by a lone security officer who has disappeared. It looks more like he was a gun dealer who was killed in his hotel room perhaps having sold weapons to others.. This was most likely a terrorist operation being covered up to avoid the bad publicity for Las Vegas. Interestingly, ISIS has claimed they were responsible for the killings and the top floors of the Mandalay Hotel belong to Saudi Arabia. A helicopter was seen landing and taking off from the hotel roof shortly after the shooting stopped.
The body and the dozens of assault rifles in the room seem staged, it seemed more like a gun dealers room than a room to mount an assault. There are two pools of blood on either side of Paddock’s body and no typical shooters suicide was announced. Was millionaire Stephen Paddock a possible patsy murdered by others in the room?

Filer’s Files #46-2017 President Carter Saw UFO - PART II
UFO Sightings in the United States
Arizona Light
Sierra Vista — I was photographing the sunset from a moving car on November 6, 2017, through an open window and took 12 photos. I reviewed them and noticed the object. Lens flare has been ruled out, as it strobed, and moved independently. Upon review, I zoomed in on the object, and observed an unusual appearance that doesn’t look like the space station. There were no obvious planets or moon in the area. Thanks To MUFON CMS
California Objects
Huntington Beach — Walking my dogs last night I looked up to observe movement of a satellite on October 26, 2017. It was a light grey flying wing with little sweep to it and little variation in width of the wing. There were no lights with constant speed. I estimate roughly 15,000 feet high, similar speed or slightly faster than an airliner with a similar wingspan flying west. It looked like an airliner minus the fuselage and lights with a very flat bottom. Having been around aviation my whole life and lived with a father who wrote for Aviation Week for 22 years, my impression is it was an aircraft, not alien.
Cabazon — My girl friend and her mother, were stopped at a rest stop, in Cabazon, California and had someone walking by, take this photo. This photo was taken in February 2015.
While looking through some of my pictures, from three years ago, I noticed the flying saucer shaped object on the upper left hand side of mountain, behind us. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Lights
Miami — The time was nine-thirty P.M. and I was now sitting in the Sterns’ patio with my wife and Richard Boswell. We were facing the west looking over Indian Creek and I said jokingly, “No saucer yet.” She gave me a warm smile, which was broken by a shriek from across the creek. A startled woman said, “There it is again.” She was Mrs. Hunt who lives at Miami Beach, I learned later.
Immediately I jumped to my feet, checked the camera and shouted, “Where is it?” Could this be the same Saucer from the night before? Actually the reply was instant. Mrs. Hunt said, “to your left above the apartments.” My wife excitedly said, “There it is!” I was as well prepared to meet the situation and there is nothing in this world that this saucer could be compared with. I held my breath and pressed the camera tightly against my cheek and followed the disk the best I could. My pictures were weird with all 50 feet of film. The disk could be seen clearly with the naked eye. I followed the image with my naked eye instead of through the viewer. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Massachusetts Lights
Westford— A friend of mine who is of sound mind was driving and saw what he described as fireball like objects flying like birds.
He took a few photos and I thought they were amazing, so I decided it was worth reporting.
He was on Highway 495. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Michigan Light
Hessel— Woke up and was looking out the window at 3 AM on November 7, 2017. I saw something flashing in the sky by the stars it seemed. There was a trail of about 7 lines in a triangle shape of white, green and red. I took about 50 pictures as it moved very slow and seemed to change shape. I watched it for about 30 minutes and took pictures of it and went back to bed. I live in the woods with no city lights around. This thing just flashed and changed shapes as the pictures show. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Jersey Unknown Objects
Burlington Township — I was flying my drone at a local lake about a mile from my house videotaping the fall foliage. I did not see the objects until I got home and reviewed my video tape. There are a total of three high speed unknown objects flying under and to the left of my drone. All three incidents were at different time frames. The first was noticed at the 52 second mark and the other two at the 11:35 and 11:40 mark. All three objects are moving in straight lines. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New York Lights
Brooklyn — I was walking along the water at Caesar’s Bay shopping center around 11:45 PM on August 4, 2017. The Verrazano bridge was just to the right. I was looking west over New York Harbor, when I noticed 4-5 bright steady lights in unusual pattern hovering in the distance. They maintained their formation consistently, but were not aircraft. I watched for 20 minutes, but the lights did not come closer and were consistent. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Pennsylvania Lights
Mckeesport — I went out on my back porch on November’7, 2017, and saw the orange lights in the sky.
I was amazed and had chills up my spine.
There were many lights and then they flew off into the sky.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Washington Disc
Kettle Falls — My father delivered newspapers every night in this area. about 2 PM he saw large disk hovering over Columbia River on June 17, 1967. It had a tube from disc to water…he watched about two minutes. Then the tube retracted and disc flew away..He told me two weeks later, we talked every day. He said he couldn’t talk about it. A deputy sheriff also saw it, but didn’t tell anyone for ten days.
Note: A delay in telling about seeing a UFO is common and people later report they had received telepathic instructions not to reveal abductions and sightings.
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Canada Object
Scarborough, Ontario — I was at work and went outside within one minute I see a ‘dark ‘ brightly flashing white light object on November 6, 2017.
It must of went over our roof heading southward Once I noticed the object south couple hundred feet away, my camera was out of my pocket within seconds to film it! I started to film at 4:49 PM, as it was moving fast under about 1000 feet. It stopped for a moment before the hydro lines south for 25 seconds giving me a great opportunity to film it! It then moved on southward towards Lake Ontario flashing brightly. A couple minutes later I lost sight of it. Thanks once again for your interest into the matter Thanks to Paul Shishis
Germany Alien
Donauwörth — I know computer diction on November 4, 2017.
I know her communications flashing light will be caused by one alien! The light is itself the arm! The light is only visible with night vision. I think they coordinate their devices and her devices could change the state of aggregation in a lightning beam!
You can see 4 small dots on the body only with night vision that are her devices! They are still by me and invisible! Communication is a sound wave like transformer and there are three in the film!
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Japan Lights
On November’7, 2017 I saw some strange lights in the sky and decided to look closer with my smart phone. When I zoomed 8x, I saw a strange square shaped flying object, but the weird thing is that it does not move. It just stayed there, shinning with some abnormal light surrounding itself. I cannot see its exact shape, because it gets rounding all the time. It does not look like an airplane, helicopter, satellite, drone or balloon.. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Spain Object
Palma — I was sitting having a coffee on the first morning of my holiday and decided to take a selfie to wind a couple of friends up. Once I took the photo I went back into my camera role to have a look when I noticed a strange object. I zoomed in on the object to have a closer look and my stomach turned. To this day it makes me feel sick when I look at it I’d just like other people who have a good knowledge of these kind of things to have a look at my pics and tell me what they think I found. I was watching a MUFON UFO files episode a half hour ago. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Sweden Cigar
Cigar-shaped object with changing lights, radiated a bright dazzling light in brightness like the Moon. When the large lights went small, a cigar-shaped silhouette appeared and flew very slowly below the clouds.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK/Wales Orb
Cardiff— I was travelling east on the M4 motorway between Cardiff and Newport on November 5, 2017, at 4.05 PM. In the sky to my left was a white object which did not appear to be moving. I took two photos on my iPhone 7 but they are not very clear. Once home, I enlarged the images and saw that the object was definitely nothing I recognized, appearing as 4 vertical rectangles side by side. Had I been alone I would have pulled off the toad to view the object further. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Chester — On the 8th November 2017 at 06:44 AM. I was letting my dogs into the garden as I had just got up for work. It was a very clear but cold and frosty morning, visibility of the sky was very good. I noticed a circular light travelling along the sky and thought it was a plane at first but it was going to quickly to be a plane so I got my phone and started recording. Later I noticed some strange movements as it changed direction slightly but sharply. It did not seem to be the movement of a standard aircraft. At the very end of the video it suddenly darts in the opposite direction. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Tewkesbury— I was going for a walk and I seen something out of the corner of my eye on November 10, 2017. Amazed when I turned to look this thing was massive I took a pic too it’s in the clouds more to the right on the picture. Thanks to MUFON CMS

The robot dog of the future is getting smarter. SpotMini, created by Boston Dynamics, has improved dramatically since its June debut. It’s designed to complete household chores while using its four legs to maintain balance, and a new video released Monday shows the incredible progress the company has made.
In the 24-second video, SpotMini runs up to the camera, peers down to look at the viewer, then lifts itself up and hops along on its way. Unlike its predecessors, which looked like a mesh of wires and metal bars, the new version has a fetching yellow exterior that makes it look more like a cute toy than some sort of military bot. If this dog-like machine is going to live alongside the rest of a family, you want it to look as friendly as possible.
The bot also appears to have a smoother motion. In previous demonstrations, the 55-pound SpotMini has been seen using a retractable arm located in its back to help out around the house, carefully moving objects to avoid dropping them. It can pick up cans, load up a dishwasher, and even do a little dance. During the 16 months since its debut, SpotMini has come on leaps and bounds to develop into a bot that wouldn’t look amiss alongside the Roomba autonomous vacuum cleaner or the Amazon Echo A.I. voice assistant.
At this stage, it’s unclear where SpotMini’s future lies. Japanese telecommunications firm SoftBank announced its purchase of Boston Dynamics back in June, taking over from Google parent company Alphabet. SoftBank is known in robotics for its Pepper customer assistant, a humanoid bot with a touchscreen on its front for taking orders in hi-tech stores.
“Smart robotics are going to be a key driver of the next stage of the information revolution, and Marc (Raibert) and his team at Boston Dynamics are the clear technology leaders in advanced dynamic robots,” SoftBank Group Chairman Masayoshi Son said at the time of the purchase.

UFO IN NASA MOON IMAGE? HERE ARE THE MOST RIDICULOUS 'SIGHTINGS' OF THE LAST MONTH
UFO IN NASA MOON IMAGE? HERE ARE THE MOST RIDICULOUS 'SIGHTINGS' OF THE LAST MONTH
BY JOSEPH FRANKEL
From Roswell to War of the Worlds, the prospect of making first contact is thrilling, terrifying, and a surefire way to grab public attention. That’s part of why stories of UFO sightings, like this week’s tabloid reporting of a reemergence of the “Black Knight Satellite ” can be so compelling. While so far all these stories have been of course proven false, Newsweek has chosen to highlight a few stories that may have got your hopes up.
Just last month, there were since deleted reports of a “giant glowing ball” of light near the Arctic in Siberia possibly believed to be a UFO. The source, perhaps less romantically, turned out to be ICB missile tests. At the time, some sources interviewed for The Siberian Timesexpressed concern that the impressive display was rooted in alien activity or “a gap in the space-time continuum” rather than a military exercise. But, alas, the Northern lights were predicted to be especially bright that night so photographers by coincidence had their lenses trained on the sight.
Yesterday, a U.K.-based site reported directly on an online video observing that a perfectly triangular dent had been found on the surface of the moon. The video goes on to make the claim that the photographs of a small dent in the surface of the moon could be “providing cover for existing bases” for extraterrestrial creatures.
And on the same day, another outlet published a story raising the possibility that the ‘Black Knight Satellite’ had been spotted in images taken by NASA Apollo 16. Something of a Loch Ness Monster of outer space, the Black Knight Satellite has been purportedly ‘spotted’ many times over the years with little if anything to back it up. According to Vice, the myth dates back over 100 years to Nikola Tesla's early experimentation with radios in 1899. To that publication’s credit though, they raised the much more likely possibility that the dark spot on the screen was “a thermal blanket accidentally dropped from a space shuttle.”
But why all the hype? While there's a deeply human impulse to imagine and seek out life outside of what we know, as the almost spiritual nature of the true efforts to search for extraterrestrial life attest to, more likely than not, these articles are more likely tapping into market demands than any deeper psychological need.
peter2011 : this is written by a sceptic journalist and not all is confabulation or a hoax. I publish his story on my log, so you can read the "logical" thinking of a sceptic. Sorry, but it's to easy to write that is all false without proof!!!
The jelly-like Portuguese man-of-war can harness sail power to fish with its deadly tentacles
Twitter@BBCEarth
Sir David Attenborough's popular BBC One series continues with its great exploration in the big blue next weekend. After the hair-raising segment on the 'alien-like' Bobbit worm, Blue Planet 2 viewers are all set to explore the life of a deadly sea-creature that hunts using its venomous tentacles in next Sunday's (19 November) episode.
Known as Portuguese man-of-war or the floating terror, the creature is most likely to be mistaken for a jellyfish. But, according to a description available on the National Geographic's site, the man o' war is an animal made up of a colony of organisms working together.
Along with a host of other creatures and animals from the wilderness, the episode explores the life of the Man-of-war. An official summary on the BBC UK website evenincludes a little teaser on what fans could expect to see in the next episode, Big Blue.
"Over half of all animals in the open ocean drift in currents. Jellyfish cross entire oceans feeding on whatever happens to tangle with their tentacles," the description read, adding, "The jelly-like Portuguese man-of-war can harness sail power to fish with its deadly tentacles."
7:26 PM - 13 Nov 2017
Blue Planet 2's upcoming episode also includes a fascinating discovery on the birthing process of the ocean's biggest fish, the whale shark.
"Raising your young in this great wilderness is a huge challenge. The episode follows two very different ocean voyagers that show amazing care. We get closer to solving the mystery of where the biggest fish in the sea, the whale shark, gives birth.
The pregnant females make an epic journey across the Pacific to the Galapagos Islands. Scientists now think it might be here that the pregnant females give birth to their pups in the safety of the depths. And in the freezing south Atlantic, a pair of ageing wandering albatrosses give their all to raise their very last chick." – From the episode description
The seven-part nature series has so far been well-received by the audience – with last Sunday's episode on coral reefs raking in a record 11.3 million viewers. This is in line with the upward curve, considering the 10.3 million average of overnight viewers after Blue Planet 2 debuted its first episode.
Involvement of renowned naturalist, Sir David, only adds to the popularity of the documentary sequel. "I am truly thrilled to be joining this new exploration of the underwater worlds which cover most of our planet, yet are still its least known," said the English broadcaster.
New Delhi [India], Nov 14 (ANI): A strange triangular-shaped object has been found buried on the surface of Mars and some believe it is a sign of a crashed UFO.
A video uploaded to YouTube by conspiracy theorist channel SecureTeam10 revealed the discovery.
The video narrator said: "There is no doubt that there is something of an almost perfect triangular-shaped nature, albeit a little dented up and a little warped, but it doesn't look like it belongs there."
Speaking about the close proximity of the "crashed UFO" to the "alien base", he added: "When you find another object in the same general area that again looks out of place. We have found these domes on multiple planets and moons."
"Even NASA and our own space agencies have talked about getting us to the moon and establishing bases have drawn up their plans using the exact same thing - domes," he continued.
"Could that be what we're seeing here? A camouflage among this crater field. Or is this some sort of ancient relic?" the narrator asked.

‘Most Controversial UFO Photo on Record:’ UFO Sighting in California Desert
‘Most Controversial UFO Photo on Record:’ UFO Sighting in California Desert
Remarkable pictures of what appears to be an alien spacecraft hovering over the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake in California have the UFO community mesmerized.
The pictures were reportedly taken by Keith Bradshaw in 2007, but he was too nervous to reveal them to the world until this week. Bradshaw claims that he went out to the desert after an old friend working on the base told him about the mysterious sighting.
"This thing would wobble along close to the ground, very unstable," he told the Daily Star.
"Then it would freeze in position, go up to a certain height and sit there for a few minutes, perfectly still. It made no noise that I could hear."
Bradshaw also claims to have heard a helicopter as he walked toward the base, before seeing the silver craft. He watched the UFO for approximately 10 minutes and noticed the military helicopter flying around near the craft at the same time.
"I don't believe anyone could have been riding on the inside, but I got the idea the helicopter was somehow remotely controlling it," he said.
"It looked like whoever was controlling it was having fun with it, sometimes because they would do little tricks with it."
Bradshaw sent his pictures to the world's top UFO experts, who are unsure whether the photos are real or not.
British UFO hunter Philip Mantle said, "This could turn out to be one of the most controversial UFO photo cases on record," adding that he has never seen anything like the images in his more than 40 years of research.
"The photo analysts contacts cannot come to an agreement about these photos. Are they fake or genuine? Who knows."
Jason Gleaves, a former Royal Air Force and current British defence contractor with BAE Systems, believes the sighting could be real, according to the Daily Star.
Reports containing UFO descriptions made their way across the desk – which have now been declassified by the National Archives.
These strange images and stories have now been compiled by author Dr David Clarke in his new book UFO Drawings From The National Archives.
“The striking images in the new book were sourced from these and an older collection of UFO files”
Dr Clarke
Odd accounts include a drawing for a white orb-shaped UFO spotted at a school in Macclesfield in 1977.
Children described the object with an opening and ladder landing near Upton Priory Junior School.
Dr Clarke said: “Their teacher, Mrs Hindmarsh, ushered the children inside and asked to draw what they had seen, separating them to ensure that no copying took place.
“The youngsters used pencils and coloured crayons to produce the images that ended up in an MoD file.”

ALIEN WORLD: This picture was sent to the Ministry of Defence claiming to be of another plant
Meanwhile, another sketch shows a lamp-shaped object with a flashing blue which flew over Smethwick in 1954.
With the name redacted, the UFO experiencer wrote a detailed account saying the craft hovered around 12feet above the ground for five minutes.
They wrote the craft was “totally silent, releasing a trail of smoke from the rear”.
Another strange picture sent to the Ministry of Defence in 2003 alleges shows to the “home world of the Procyons/Andromedons”.
Other stories detailed in the book include an alien spotted on the A1, and flying saucers cruising over Hampstead.
Dr Clarke is a lecturer in journalism at Sheffield Hallam University and specialising in researching modern folklore.
He said: “The striking images in the new book were sourced from these and an older collection of UFO files, some dating back to the Second World War, that have been opened to public inspection under the 30 year rule.”
