Mysterious Lights Spotted in Japan Spark Alien Sighting Rumors
Mysterious Lights Spotted in Japan Spark Alien Sighting Rumors
Image credit: YouTube
Japan isn't known as a hotspot of UFO activity, making widely reported sightings quite rare. That's why a recent flurry of social media posts by residents of the Japanese island Kyushu have attracted the attention of hunters and truth-seekers across the globe.
Last Thursday morning, residents posted pictures of thin, swirling clouds that radiated light, the sort of phenomenon that the conspiracy community calls chemtrails, which they believe are of remnants biological agents left in the sky by planes that are deliberately sprayed on the general public for classified purposes.
The sighting does line up with Japan's Epsilon-3 Rocket launch, which took place in the Uchinoura Space Center in Kagoshima Prefecture at 6.06 am on Thursday. Taking this into account, it's wholly possible that the mysterious lights could be moisture in the air reacting to fumes from the rocket's launch.
"JAXA launched Epsilon-3, the third Epsilon launch vehicle which encapsulates NEC Small radar satellite "ASNARO-2", from the JAXA Uchinoura Space Center," JAXA said in a statement. "The launch occurred on time."
Epsilon-3 successfully put into orbit the ASNARO-2 commercial satellite at a height of about 500 kilometers. The rocket is at the vanguard of aerospace tech because it cuts back considerable time, equipment, and human resources required to launch.
Japanese residents ought to get used to seeing more strange events in the sky, as Japan continues to step up its space exploration game. Last year, a private Tokyo-based firm raised $90 million from major Japanese corporations and investors to send a spacecraft into orbit in 2019 that will land on the moon the following year. Funded with the promise of moon colonization, the firm says that by 2021, 1,000 people will be living on the Moon, and with their help, 10 times as many will visit each year.
Last fall, JAXA also uncovered a moon cave that it says will be an ideal location for a base. Its Selene spacecraft discovered an "echo pattern" at the tube opening in the moon's Marius Hills, found using radar technology, which provides solid evidence that a hollow area exists underneath. This is just one of the many lava tubes that may be housing large repositories of ice beneath the lunar surface.
Despite the seemingly endless reports of UFO sightings, ghost encounters, Bigfoot videos, strange hums, falling fish and other paranormal occurrences, there are days when it seems that nothing out of the ordinary is happening (we exclude politics from consideration, unless a UFO is involved). When all other countries or geographical areas fail, Peru always seems to come through. Within the past week, that fine country has provided stories about a truck driver destroying some Nazca lines and a DNA analysis of the mysterious Paracas elongated skulls. The paranormal riches of Peru paid off once again today, with the report that an ongoing investigation of the three-fingered mummies found in a Nazca cave has determined that they were once definitely alive. Muchas gracias, Peru!
Here’s a quick update. The chalky-covered three-fingered-and-toed, big-headed, small-bodied mummies were allegedly found in a Nazca cave and revealed to the public in 2017 by Gaia.com. Since then, there have reports of one being pregnant, another carrying eggs, the total reaching 20, a guy named Mario taking credit for the discovery, a possible sighting of live ones, DNA tests showing they’re human or human-like and more. Now, a video has surfaced with new insights from a member of the team.
“Each of three small specimens has been analysed and bone density belong to that of a living being. The preservation is amazing, it is really surprising, especially the bone parts of these small creatures. “You see that, the base of the skull has its own characteristics. We can scientifically prove the skull of these creatures have a cranial cavity similar to humans, but they have some strong differences.”
It was reported this week by express.co.uk that radiologist Dr. Raymundo Salas Alfaro, a new name in these three-fingered mummy reports, made those observations after claiming to see CAT scans of the mummies. A video dated October 2017 shows Alfaro discussing the mummies but an English translation was not provided. That’s too bad because, in the express.co.uk account, Alfaro seems to disagree with the DNA report by saying that the skull does not look human. (Did he look at the fingers?)
“Here another image you see the soft tissue – a big surprise about these small creatures. Of course they have existed this is not a fake.”
Alfaro then addressed the most famous of the three-fingered mummies – the one the team has named Maria – and said this:
“We are scientifically proving that this is a real body that was once alive.”
So Dr. Alfaro seems to be refuting those who claim this is an elaborate and morbid hoax perpetrated by someone who pieced together the mummies from human body parts. However, the evidence he presents is still just the CAT scan and the DNA test. That isn’t enough to convince skeptics, which includes the World Congress on Mummy Studies and the Peruvian government, which doesn’t like foreigners messing with any of its mummies, real or otherwise.
Sorry Maria, Dr. Alfaro and the rest of the three-fingered mummies and researchers. The needle on this case is still stuck between ‘Skeptical’ and ‘Hoax’. However, we’re leaving it open in the likely event there’s another slow paranormal news day.

In the paranormal business, the cure for a slow news day is to see what’s cooking in Peru. Last week, we had the truck driver plowing his vehicle over the ancient Nazca lines, destroying portions of these famous and unexplained geoglyphs in the name of avoiding to pay a toll. It’s been a while since we heard anything about the three-fingered mummies but there’s nothing new to reports. Fortunately, the elongated skulls came to the rescue!
“This could re-write history as we know it.”
Yes, it was another “This changes everything” moment over the weekend when the Elongated Skulls Symposium was held in Los Angeles. Hosted by author, lecturer and film maker L.A. Marzulli, it brought together a variety of speakers on the subject of the Paracas skulls, including videographer Richard Shaw, forensic expert Chase Kloetske, archaeologist Mondo Gonzales, 3D forensic artist Marcia K. Moore, anthropologist Rick Woodward, medical doctor Dr. Michael Alday, and chiropractor Dr. Malcolm Warren. However, the big news on DNA testing of the skulls came from Marzulli and Brien Forester of Hidden Inca Tours.
If those last two names sound familiar, it’s probably because they had a similar “this changes everything!” moment in 2016 when DNA tests were reportedly conducted on the Paracas elongated skulls of Peru. At that time, they revealed that the test results showed the skulls were not from Peru but were not alien either. The humans were believed to have come from Europe and Mesopotamia, especially Syria. That was interesting and certainly added a twist to which humans first arrived in the Americas, but not a game-changer. Was the Elongated Skulls Symposium?
“The DNA results actually were incredibly complicated… It’s gonna take me some time to actually figure out what the results mean. What it does show for sure is that the Paracas elongated skull people were not 100% Native American. They were a mix or even you could say, in some ways, a hybrid of different people.”
Wait a minute … this sounds familiar. That’s when Forester adds a new twist.
“It appears that the largest elongated skulls on the planet have been found, “A” in Paracas, Peru and “B” in the Caucasus area in between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea… so my theory is that there was a sub-species of human which we are going to be eventually calling Homo-Sapiens-Sapiens-Paracas, and they were living in the area in between the Caspian and Black Sea.”
And …
“They were invaded by somebody… and so they were forced to flee.”
Forester lays out a path for this sub-species to sail from the Persian Gulf to Peru. That’s where he believes, and says some of the other speakers agree, that these naturally long-skulled people settled and flourished for a time.
“ … because of the abnormalities found with some of the Elongated Skulls from the Chongos cemetery in Peru they have no other choice but to state that some of these ancient Paracas were a sub-species of humanity… it had to be genetic, they had to be born with these abnormalities. They had dark red hair… the royal Paracas were the ones with elongated heads, not the common people… the royal family of the Paracas, they lived in subterranean underground houses and I think the reason for that is that they had light-colored skin, probably sensitive eyes because of the extreme sunshine…”
So, Forester believes the long skulls are a genetic abnormality, not the result of binding, and those with them were regarded as leaders and superiors. The key word is “believes,” not proves. This certainly reinforces the idea that the genetic makeup of Native South Americans is truly a varied mix. It also continues to disappoint those who want to believe the elongated skull beings are aliens. However, it doesn’t prove how the Paracas could be a separate sub-species while all other elongated skull cultures are not.
Let’s hope the next ‘this changes everything’ DNA tests come during another slow news week.
The Road to Strange: UFOs, Aliens and High Strangeness is the new book from Michael Brein and Rosemary Ellen Guiley. It’s a book which is filled with literally dozens and dozens of cases of the ufological kind. Those cases cover such issues as crop circles, alien abductions, pilot encounters, Men in Black, UFO landings, and much more. But, it’s very important to note that this is not just a collection of events and incidents. Rather, the emphasis is on how the experiences impacted on the witnesses themselves. This is a good, solid and refreshing way of demonstrating to the reader the way in which the UFO phenomenon can affect people – and not always in a positive way. The same goes for their families and friends. Ridicule, fear, denial, amazement, and paranoia are just some of the results of the close encounter cases in The Road to Strange. Let’s take a look at the content.
As far as the accounts are concerned, they are split into four categories: “I Know What I saw,” “Mystery Lights and Craft,” “Alien Encounters,” and “High Strangeness.” One of the intriguing issues that surfaces in certain events described in the book is the “Why me?” factor. As Guiley and Brein note, in profound UFO cases witnesses sometimes develop a sense that the phenomenon deliberately targeted them, that there was a specific reason for the encounter, that there was more to the sighting than just something unusual of a random nature. It’s this “Why me?” aspect which provokes anxiety in some, fear in others, and a sense of wonder in those who see the matter in a positive light. One of the weirder aspect of the UFO enigma revolves around how one person can see a UFO, but someone standing right next to them sees nothing at all. Again, there is the matter of “Why me?”
Seeing how people deal with such matters – or don’t – makes for revealing reading. As for the reaction of family members, well, at one end of the spectrum there is the sense that their relative is mistaken, lying – or, of course, telling the truth. At the other end of the spectrum, though, there’s the tragic story of T.L. Murdock who, as a child in 1931, was “backhanded” with “full force” by his mother for claiming an encounter with something strange in the sky. This, of course, was long before the dawning of the flying saucer era in 1947.
As for that aforementioned matter of ridicule – or the concern of it becoming an issue – it surfaces on several occasions. Again, the impact that this has on the witness is as significant as it is eye-opening. As an example, we have the words of the late Graham Sheppard, who was a captain and pilot with British Airways. Sheppard, who died in 2005, had a couple of profound UFO encounters. One such case, from the 1960s, is described by Sheppard in his own words: “When we were over the Midlands of England we got a radar alert about an object traveling at high speed directly in the airway. We saw this disc coming towards us! It was about 30 feet across, and it looked as if it was going to come extremely close to us.”
Sheppard noted the reluctance on the part of colleagues to talk about UFO encounters, “even though I knew other pilots and flight engineers had seen UFOs.” Sheppard tells a fascinating story of how, decades ago, he was aware of a kind of unwritten code of silence among air-crews when it comes to UFOs. Again, we get to see- first-hand – how the phenomenon of the UFO alters lives and directs their beliefs and approach to the mystery.
One of the most interesting stories revolves around a bizarre encounter with dwarfish humanoids floating in self-illuminated “pods of light” in the direct vicinity of Wiltshire, England’s famous Silbury Hill. It’s one of those cases which is hard to fit into any particular category. Fear, denial and and an attempt to rationalize the incident by suggesting it was connected to a “military exercise” or “a projector” are all part and parcel of a story that undeniably changed lives.
Silsbury Hill
High-strangeness in the heart of crop circles is an important aspect of the book and our authors note that those visiting the formations experience drowsiness, a feeling of “cosmic connection,” and “mystical rapture.” Men in Black of a clearly supernatural nature pop up, too – in a North Carolina library, and who appear to have the ability to affect electrical equipment. The menacing MIB reports and the crop circle cases demonstrate just how weird certain UFO-themed events can become – and they too are shown to profoundly affect those in close proximity. Add to that stories of missing time, alien-human hybrids, strange “holes” in the sky, an incident at Area 51, and much more and you have a book that makes for absorbing reading.
I have often said that the most important people in the field of the unknown are not the writers, the authors, the radio-show hosts, or those who appear on TV shows. The most important people are the witnesses. A great deal can be learned from studying them, their reactions, their words, and how their lives have been changed, altered and even scarred. The Road to Strange does a great job of getting right to the heart of what it means to be a UFO witness.
Pas un jour ne se passe sans que les enthousiastes repèrent de mystérieux objets d’origine extraterrestre, mais le mystère de la base américaine Andrews, liée au mystère de Roswell, imprègne toujours l’esprit des ufologues. Cher lecteurs, êtes-vous prêts à plonger dans cet endroit sinistre?
Le groupe d’ufologues, baptisé UFO Seekers («Chercheurs d’extraterrestres»), a filmé le territoire de la base militaire américaine Andrews dans le désert du Nevada, connu sous le nom de Zone 51. L’objectif: vérifier les nombreuses théories du complot qui affirment que cette base est utilisée pour garder les ovnis qui se seraient écrasés dans la région à la fin des années 40.
Les aventuriers ont réussi à filmer une partie de la Zone 51, notamment la piste d’atterrissage et des véhicules de l’armée qui se déplaçaient sur le territoire de base. À la grande déception du groupe, aucune soucoupe volante, aucun extraterrestre, ni
L’incident de Roswell reste toujours férocement débattu par les historiens, ufologues et amateurs de théories du complot depuis la fin des années 1970. Bien que les spécialistes aient opté en faveur de la théorie du phénomène extraterrestre, l’affaire de Roswell est aussi le cas le plus réfuté par les sceptiques, ces derniers s’appuyant notamment sur les nombreuses incohérences relevées dans cette affaire.
En tout cas, 70 ans après l’incident, personne n’a jamais trouvé de débris des ovnis ou de corps des extraterrestres dans cette base.
France : Un OVNI sphérique et très lumineux observé dans le Lubéron
Sommet du village de Lacoste sur lequel se trouve les ruines du château du marquis de Sade, pillé à la Révolution
Le 13 octobre 2017, un gros OVNI sphérique et très lumineux a été observé au-dessus du village de Lacoste, dans le Vaucluse, au sud de la France. Ce n’est que récemment que le témoin a décidé de raconter son aventure.
Sommet du village de Lacoste sur lequel se trouve les ruines du château du marquis de Sade, pillé à la Révolution
Témoignage :
« J’étais dans mon jardin sur ma terrasse au Sud pour fumer une cigarette vers 20H, le vendredi 13 Octobre 2017. Il faisait nuit et le ciel était très bien dégagé. J’ai vu arrivé de derrière les arbres, à une bonne centaine de mètres de ma maison, très silencieusement, une boule très lumineuse (blanc doré jaune orangé) un peu plus petite qu’une pièce de 1 centime, vu du sol. Mais certainement très grosse, vu l’altitude.
Elle était plus haute qu’un avion de ligne et d’ailleurs absolument pas dans le couloir aérien habituel Nord/Sud (mais dans la direction perpendiculaire Ouest/Est) mais bien plus basse qu’un satellite pourrait l’être.
Aucun bruit de réacteur ou autre bruit de moteur.
Elle venait de la direction de Ménerbes (84) à l’Ouest, au dessus du petit Lubéron et s’est dirigée en direction de Bonnieux ou Lourmarin (Sud Est) en passant au dessus de Lacoste.
Sa vitesse n’était pas très rapide vu du sol, mais plus rapide qu’un avion (car beaucoup plus haut) et beaucoup moins qu’une météorite.
Difficile d’estimer sa vitesse à cause de la hauteur, mais sur une route plate, on pourrait la comparer à une voiture roulant à 5 kms/h.
Cette sphère a mis environ 1mn pour effectuer sa trajectoire.
J’ai appelé ma compagne après une dizaine de secondes d’observation qui est sortie presque aussitôt. Elle a observé en même temps que moi cette boule lumineuse, semblant planer régulièrement, sans accoue et sans changement de direction. Aucune trainée derrière elle comme pourrait le faire une étoile filante ou une météorite rentrant dans l’atmosphère.
Elle a disparu de notre champ de vision derrière le Lubéron, au niveau de la combe, entre le petit et le grand Lubéron.
J’ai cherché sur internet dans les jours suivants si d’autres avaient vu cette sphère,si il y avait des témoignages ou si il y avait eu une météorite ce soir là. Mais rien sur ce soir du 13 Octobre 2017… »
A secret study of Unidentified Flying Objects was made public last year. Much of the analysis was done in southern Nevada, and a main purpose of the study was to figure out how UFOs work.
The I-Team interviewed the man who ran the program at the Pentagon to ask about the physics of flying saucers.
"Look at that thing," one Navy pilot said.
You can tell from the voices of the navy pilots that the encounter with the so-called Gimbal UFO was hardly ordinary. It happened back in 2015, and it wasn't in the sky alone.
"There's a whole fleet of them," the pilot said. "Look at the ASA. My gosh, they are going against the wind. The wind is 120 knots."
The pilots wondered if it might be a drone, but an advanced sensor system showed the unknown object had no detectable propulsion system, seemed oblivious to the powerful winds at that altitude, and slowed to a near stop before rotating.
"Like I said before if this was a court of law, we are beyond reasonable doubt," said Luis Elizondo, former Pentagon Intelligence Officer.
Until last October, Elizondo was the point man in the Pentagon's secret study of unknown aerial objects. AATIP was the acronym for the study authorized by senators including former United States Senator from Nevada, Harry Reid, with the analysis conducted by a civilian contractor, Bigelow Aerospace of Nevada. The primary goal of the study, Elizondo said, wasn't to guess where these things originated but rather, how they worked.
"I think we've come very close to understanding the physics of how it works, and that's very exciting," Elizondo said. "For the first time, we have a compelling picture that what we are seeing is explained in our current understanding of physics, advanced physics, and quantum mechanics.
Elizondo left the Pentagon, in large part, because he felt the issue wasn't getting the attention it deserved. The military is still collecting and studying UFO data, according to Elizondo. The analysis by Bigelow's team ended in 2012. The now, famous Tic Tac UFO case from 2004 is an example of how things worked. The case sat in a file at the Pentagon until it was resurrected during the study. An abbreviated video clip was released last year.
After seeing weird radar returns for days, advanced warplanes attached to the U.S.S. Nimitz Battle Group off the coast of San Diego went to take a close look. F-18 pilot Dave Fravor, the commander of the Elite Black Aces, wrote in an initial report that the pilots detected a huge object, the size of a 747 just under the surface of the ocean. A 40-foot "Tic Tac" shaped object hovered above it. Fravor flew around then closed in on the object, which turned to face his plane, then displayed its full capabilities.
"It takes off like nothing I've ever seen. Poof, it's gone," Fravor said.
Fravor said he believes the Tic Tac is not of this world, but he also said he sure would like to fly one. Elizondo says there have been multiple other Tic Tac encounters with the U.S. military both before and since. Scientists now think a single technology explains the amazing things these aircrafts can do.
"We do believe all these observables we've been seeing, sudden and extreme acceleration, hypersonic velocities, low observability, trans medium travel, and last but not least, positive lift, anti-gravity -- is really the manifestation of a single technology, Elizondo said. "So it's not five exotic technologies we're trying to figure out, it's one. and we think we know that one too."
One of the scientists who helped figure it out is a physicist named Dr. Hal Puthoff. He wrote the proposal that helped Bigelow land the contract to study UFOs, and in a recent radio interview, he said he commissioned 38 scientific papers during the study to explore exotic propulsion ideas, including what he calls space-time metric engineering. In essence, the idea that the Gimbal and Tic Tac craft can create their own space-time bubbles.
"We believe it has to do with a high amount of energy and the ability to warp space-time, not by a lot, but by a little," said Elizondo.
Elizondo first went public back in October, when he was on a stage with rock star Tom Delonge, who formed something called "To the Stars Academy. Dr. Hal put off is part of the team, along with Steve Justice, the former top engineer at Lockheed's skunkworks, who says he wants to build something that can do what the Gimbal can do.
For Elizondo, the question is no longer an 'if' question, it's a 'when' question.
Luis Elizondo confirmed that special materials would likely be needed to manipulate space-time. The I-Team will have more on that in a future report.
To hear an extra excerpt from the interview about how space-time distortion works go here.
NASA is hard at work trying to get a robot on Titan. To find out exactly what it would be up against, the agency has built a tiny, freezing methane ocean at the Washington State University.
Composite image of Titan seen in near-infrared. Image credits NASA / JPL.
Titan is the second largest moon in our solar system, only more modest in size than Jupiter’s Ganymede. However, it’s a spot that NASA has been itching to visit for quite some time now, as it is the largest body after Earth to harbor stable, liquid oceans. But put the snorkel away, because this is by no means an ocean you’d want to take a dip in. Titan isn’t covered in water, it’s covered in methane — frigid, liquid methane.
To coldly go where nobody has gone before
NASA plans to send an autonomous submarine to poke around Titan’s seas and oceans some time in the next 20 years. So far, they’ve been designing the mission and the craft based on data beamed back by the Cassini mission. However, environmental conditions on the moon are so dramatically different and extreme compared to those we’re used to, that the agency believes we need more experimental data to check the bot against.
As such, they’ve teamed up with scientists at Washington State University to recreate the moon’s methane ocean in a laboratory.
The WSU researchers built a test chamber filled with a “liquid mixture at very cold temperatures to simulate the seas of Titan,” a press release from the University details. “They added a two-inch, cylinder-shaped cartridge heater that would approximate the heat that a submarine would create”. The project was led by Ian Richardson, a former WSU graduate who interned at NASA on an unrelated research project.
“My research just took a right turn, and I went with it. It’s a crazy experiment, and I never thought I would have had this opportunity. It’s been a very fun and challenging experimental design problem,” he said.
The make-believe ocean has revealed two hurdles that researchers will have to overcome when designing the sub-to-be: the formation of gas bubbles and recording video at the freezing temperatures.
NASA released this design for the Titan sub back in 2016. Image credits NASA.
If the submarine is powered by a heat-generating mechanism, it would cause nitrogen bubbles to form in the very cold liquid on Titan (which is mostly made up of a methane-ethane mix at roughly -185° Celsius (-300° Fahrenheit). These bubbles have shown that they can severely hinder the submarine’s mobility and make it difficult for onboard sensors to collect data.
Even if such bubbles fail to materialize, snapping images and videos of the sub’s surroundings will be a challenging task — mostly because it’s a really cold, pressurized environment (comparable to being under 30 meters/100 feet of water).
One piece of good news is that the nitrogen fraction in the mix lowers the freezing point of Titan’s oceans from about -185° to roughly -200° Celsius (-297° to -324° Fahrenheit).
“That’s a big deal. That means you don’t have to worry about icebergs,’’ Richardson explains.
The team says they worked around the temperature and pressure problems and developed a device that allowed them to shoot video footage in the liquid and snow methane-ethane mix inside the chamber. In the future, all measurements and data recorded in this experiment will be used to ” to aid in thermodynamic modeling of the Titan seas as well as the design of the Titan Submarine,” he added.
The paper “Experimental PρT-x measurements of liquid methane-ethane-nitrogen mixtures.” has been published in the journal Fluid Phase Equilibria.
In 2017, there were 169 UFO sightings reported directly to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), the world's oldest and largest UFO phenomenon investigative body.
FOX 17 dug into the data, examining hundreds of local reports while getting a good look at viewer submitted videos of possible UFOs flying over the skies. This, after a former Pentagon official revealed a government program allegedly researching UFO's for years.
In December of 2017, the world learned that the Pentagon spent $22 million on a program called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, according to Luis Elizondo, who led the Pentagon effort. Elizondo told The New York Times he resigned from the Department of Defense in October in protest what he called excessive secrecy surrounding the program and internal opposition to it after funding for the effort ended in 2012. The footage below was released by Elizondo following his resignation.
Footage shows an encounter between U.S. fighter jets and “anomalous aerial vehicles.”
(To The Stars Academy of Arts and Science)
However, you don't have to go far to find first-hand accounts of extraterrestrial encounters. Of 151 reports of UFOs documented worldwide by MUFON in 2018, six were reported in Michigan.
MUFON was founded in 1969 to investigate the growing UFO phenomenon through a team of investigators and researchers. The Michigan MUFON chapter meets five times a year outside of Flint, where like-minded people come together and share their personal stories about what they've seen in the sky.
"People are seeing things they can't understand on a regular basis," said MUFON state director Bill Konkolesky. "When people can come together and talk face-to-face about what they've seen and what their theories are on everything, that's real."
Konkolesky says the organization is big into investigating the UFO phenomenon based on evidence. Michigan has three "licensed investigators" who collect data and keep it organized and open to the public. You can even track UFO sightings worldwide in real time here. However, Konkolesky admits that 97% of the time, a sighting is not a UFO.
"We had 410 sightings a few years ago, and that was the year when Chinese lanterns were all the rage," Konkolesky said. Other identified sightings are drone or some sort of meteorological event like the recent Bolide/meteor sighted across the state in January. The other 3% remains unknown.
The UFO Center, operated out of Washington state by Peter Davenport, also takes reports of UFOs on a daily basis. Davenport says people should do their own research before making up their minds about whether or not they "believe" that UFOs exist.
"I think it’s important that people see things with their own eyes before they believe them or accept them," Davenport said. "Biblical scholars, for example, should be included in the UFO debate and research process, because they might have some input that would be significant."
The UFO Reporting Center has received more than 150 cases in 2018. That number is rising every day. Davenport believes it's because people are starting to "believe what they're seeing."
Here are a number of historically-head scratching cases that have happened in Michigan:
1) 1975, Konkolesky says there was a large UFO sighting over Wurtsmith Air Force Base in Iosco County, Michigan.
2.) March 8th, 1994: hundreds of witnesses reported seeing flickering lights resembling a string of Christmas lights or a group of airplanes flying close together near Holland. Below are 911 calls and testimony from the National Weather Service, (MUFON).
3) March, 1966: hundreds of Michigan residents saw colorful, strange lights across the sky. Konkolesky said the US Air Force came out to investigate but claimed that residents were seeing no more than swamp or marsh gas.
"So I like to joke that Michigan is not only the Great Lakes State, but we’re also the swamp gas state," Konkolesky said. "Michigan has a rich history when it comes to UFO sightings."
It's important to note there has not been an actual sighting of a UFO confirmed by any governing agency. UFO enthusiasts encourage the general public to do their own research before coming to any conclusion.
De planeten die rond dwergster TRAPPIST-1 draaien hebben een veelbelovend geheim prijsgegeven: sommige kunnen voor maximaal vijf procent uit water bestaan. Dat is ongeveer 250 keer zoveel als de oceanen van de aarde.
In theorie is er leven mogelijk, zo hebben wetenschappers die de verre werelden bestuderen bekendgemaakt.
“Alle op dit ogenblik bestudeerde signalen staan op groen,” zei astronoom Amaury Triaud van de Universiteit van Birmingham. “Op dit moment wijst niets erop dat zij niet ‘levensvatbaar’ zijn”.
Vloeibaar water
In februari vorig jaar maakten astronomen bekend bij de dwergster TRAPPIST-1, op veertig lichtjaar van ons, zeven planeten te hebben gevonden. Qua grootte lijken ze op de onze.
Drie ervan, Trappist-1 e, f en g, omcirkelen in de levensvatbare zone hun ster, wat betekent dat er vloeibaar water op hun oppervlak zou zijn.
Sindsdien beschikken de astronomen over meer informatie met betrekking tot de ster, haar planeten en hun atmosfeer.
Gesteente
De wetenschappers konden hun metingen van omvang en massa van de planeten verfijnen om vast te stellen dat zij vooral uit gesteente bestaan en dat bij sommige tot vijf procent van hun massa uit water kan bestaan.
Ter vergelijking: slechts 0,02 procent van de massa van de aarde bestaat uit water.
Aangaande de kans dat de planeten leven zouden herbergen, zei Triaud ‘in dit stadium niets te kunnen zeggen omdat ze erg verschillen van de onze’.
Beste plaats
“Maar ze vormen tot op vandaag de beste plaats buiten ons zonnestelsel om te zoeken naar signalen van leven,” klonk het.
Afgelopen week werd één van de grootste en zwaarste raketten ooit de ruimte in gestuurd, met de complimenten van Elon Musk, de baas van SpaceX.
Deze raket had een bijzondere lading en dat was de privé Tesla cabriolet van Musk, iets waar ook buitenaardsen belangstelling voor schijnen te hebben.
Het was een bijzondere week voor de ruimtevaart, want:
Elon Musk heeft het geflikt. Ruim twee uur later dan gepland is vanavond de Falcon Heavy-raket van zijn bedrijf SpaceX met succes gelanceerd. De geslaagde operatie is een enorme opsteker voor Musks missie naar Mars.
Elon Musk zou Elon Musk niet zijn als hij de raket zonder kenmerkende handtekening de lucht in zou sturen. In dit geval wordt die handtekening gevormd door een kersrode Tesla Roadster, als lading in het topje van de Falcon Heavy-raket. Het is zijn eigen Roadster. Inclusief een pop achter het stuur, gekleed in een door SpaceX ontwikkeld ruimtepak.
Echter, de spectaculaire beelden in de ruimte, gefilmd vanuit de Tesla, tonen ook nog iets anders. En dat zijn UFO's die op een gegeven moment een kijkje komen nemen naar wat daar nu eigenlijk rondvliegt.
Het zijn onmiskenbaar UFO's die daar rondvliegen, want ze stoppen, vertragen of versnellen en veranderen van richting. Iets dat sterren of planeten uiteraard niet doen.
In de volgende video is te zien wat er daar rondvliegt als je doorspoelt naar ongeveer 2 minuten 20 seconden in de video.
En niet alleen bij de raket van Elon Musk doken UFO's op. In Japan werd enkele dagen geleden een raket gelanceerd en ook daar verschenen vreemde objecten in beeld.
Op de volgende afbeelding zie je de raket en rood omcirkeld drie vreemde lichten.
Wanneer je het beeld uitvergroot, ziet het er zo uit.
De raket werd gelanceerd om een satelliet in een baan om de aarde te brengen en diverse UFO-websites zijn van mening dat die drie lichten een onverklaarbaar object zijn. Volgens Scott Waring is deze UFO zeker 20 keer groter dan de raket en dat zou dan inderdaad een fiks ruimteschip zijn.
UFO of misschien toch een vliegtuig omdat wanneer je goed kijkt er ook een strobe light waar te nemen is. Of zijn de beelden gewoon helemaal nep? Bij het ter perse gaan van dit artikel lazen we in het AD dat de raket uit koers is geraakt en Mars niet zal bereiken. Script? Of toeval?
En tenslotte een bericht en een video die wij ontvingen van Paul Harmans (dank!), onder andere bekend van de website Ufowijzer.
Het gaat om een door hem in het Nederlands ondertitelde video van Tyler van Secureteam. Daarin maakt Tyler bekend dat er zeer binnenkort voor een korte periode gratis een interessante documentaire te zien zal zijn.
Deze heet "Australian Skies 2" en is dan te zien voordat deze in première gaat.
AFPElon Musk doopte de pop achter het stuur van de Tesla Roadster om tot Starman.
WETENSCHAP & PLANEET De sportauto van Tesla die met de Falcon Heavy de ruimte werd ingestuurd, wijkt af van het geplande traject. Dat heeft Elon Musk gisteren op Twitter bekendgemaakt. De CEO van SpaceX gaf toe dat Starman, de pop die achter het stuur zit, een beetje te hard op de gaspedaal had getrapt.
In een tweet bevestigde Musk dat de finale bestemming van de missie is veranderd. “Koers gewijzigd waardoor traject voorbij Mars loopt en reis verderzet naar de planetoïdengordel.”
Musk liet een Tesla Roadster als ludiek experiment meevliegen met de eerste vlucht van de Falcon Heavy. Het doel was de heliocentrische baan die op ongeveer dezelfde afstand van de zon als van Mars ligt. Op zijn nieuwe traject zal de Falcon Heavy maandenlang onderweg zijn naar de asteroïdengordel tussen Mars en Jupiter. Hier is het risico op een catastrofale botsing groter dan op de oorspronkelijk gewenste koers. De missiemanagers hebben nog niet bevestigd of de koersverandering een ongeluk of intentioneel was.
Sommige experts vrezen voor de effecten van ruimtelijke straling op de Tesla Roadster. Professor chemie aan de Indiana University William Carroll legt uit wat er kan foutlopen: “Alle organische stoffen lijden onder de verschillende types van straling. Als de bindingen breken, kan de auto letterlijk uit elkaar vallen.”
Photo NewsCEO van Tesla Elon Musk investeerde meer dan een half miljard in de lancering van de Falcon Heavy.
Beelden van crash
SpaceX hoopt met deze demonstratievlucht contracten van NASA te winnen. Musk heeft ook het verlies bevestigd van een centrale ‘core booster’ na de lancering, een van de drie kleinere Falcon 9-raketten die samengebonden werden om de Falcon Heavy te vormen. De twee andere raketten keerden veilig terug naar het landingsplatform aan het Kennedy Space Center. De derde had op een boot in de Atlantische Oceaan moeten landen, maar crashte in de oceaan. “Het dek van het schip lag vol scherven”, zei Musk. “We gaan dit onderzoeken. De raket is duidelijk niet op het onbemande schip geland. We hebben er beelden van.”
Musk heeft meer dan een half miljard geïnvesteerd in de lancering van de Falcon Heavy. Hij hoopte op succes om zijn concurrenten af te troeven. Er zijn namelijk verschillende bedrijven die strijden om ruimtevluchten voor de man in de straat mogelijk te maken. “We willen een nieuwe ruimterace. Dit zal andere bedrijven aanmoedigen om hetzelfde te doen”, legt Musk zijn beweegredenen uit.

Retangle UFO Over Phoenix, Arizona Mountains Could Be Secret USAF Craft, Feb 2, 2018, UFO Sighting News
Retangle UFO Over Phoenix, Arizona Mountains Could Be Secret USAF Craft, Feb 2, 2018, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Feb 2, 2018
Location of sighting: Phenix, Arizona, USA
News source: MUFON #90112
This is in the Phoenix, Arizona area, a location famous for the largest UFO ever seen that blacked out the stars back in 1997. This UFO is clearly a craft, but also may be a USAF experimental craft that uses alien tech at a local base. The fact that a helicopter showed up shortly after only confirms that it was very important to the US military.
Scott C. Waring
Eyewitness states:
We were driving on the I17 heading into Phoenix when I noticed a rectangular object hovering over the mountains on the left hand side. My friend Dan grabbed his cellphone and took a picture of the object. After about 10 minutes the object disappeared. A helicopter appeared shortly there after.
Giant UFO Disk Seen Near SpaceX Rocket Carrying Elon Musks Tesla Roadster To Mars, Feb 2018, UFO Sighting News.
Giant UFO Disk Seen Near SpaceX Rocket Carrying Elon Musks Tesla Roadster To Mars, Feb 2018, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Feb 2018 Location of sighting: Leaving Earths orbit Found by Streetcap1 of Youtube. This classic UFO was seen flashing as it passed by the Tesla SpaceX rocket. Why would aliens be interested in this? Because this is a public business in charge of it, and it is carrying Elon Musks personal red cherry Tesla Roadster, which at auction could fetch over one million US dollars, but normally costs around $250,000 US. This car has a dummy astronaut wearing a SpaceX made new spacesuit in the drivers seat. The car will be playing "Ground control to Major Tom," on the radio for eternity. I take it that its powered by solar panels. When it reaches Mars in 335 days, this Tesla will be placed into a Mars orbit, and will stay there for around 10,000 years with cameras on it recording it and send video back of the car floating in orbit. 10,000 years of free advertising in every science and astronomy book in the world. Smart thinking. Now do you see why aliens would be interested? Scott C. Waring
Strange Aerial Phenomenon over Ocala, Florida - Richmond, VA – Alberta CA
Strange Aerial Phenomenon over Ocala, Florida - Richmond, VA – Alberta CA
A rare phenomenon appeared in the sky over Spondin in Alberta, Canada where the daughter of the owner of the TK Ranch snapped an image of an amazing sun rise on February 7, 2018.
Other strange sky phenomena were spotted over Ocala, Florida and Richmond, Virginia but don’t worry, meteorologists assure us, with great confidence, that all these aerial phenomena are completely normal.
UFO Hunters Pick Up Alien Vessel Disguises As Iceberg On Google Maps
UFO Hunters Pick Up Alien Vessel Disguises As Iceberg On Google Maps
People usually go to Google Maps for educational mapping service as it offers satellite images of locations around the world. However, now and then keen observers picked up strange sightings. One photograph in Antarctica shows a lone iceberg that UFO hunters believe an underwater alien base.
Google Maps is designed for people who want to visit all areas of the world from the comfort of their turf. However, along with its informative qualities, the site also offers several entertaining images.
Seeing residential streets and national parks is just an ordinary thing in Google Maps, but many also are downright bizarre.
One particular image shows a lonely iceberg off the coast of Antarctica.
A block of ice approximately 500 metres long was discovered at the coordinate 72°43’13.53″S 78°40’21.56″W.
The iceberg seems nothing out of the ordinary apart from its placing.
However, some UFO hunters believe it is an underwater alien lair. They think it does not fit the ordinary iceberg description.
They explained that icebergs could be classified based on their shapes and forms, which are tabular and non-tabular. They observed that the shapes and forms of the iceberg in question look very different from all the various shapes and forms of tabular and non-tabular icebergs. They suspected that it could be a vessel disguised as an iceberg.
Many will say this is an airplane, but the area had a no fly zone at the time of the rocket launch. On the 18th of January the Japanese Space agency Jaxa launched it’s Epsilon 3 rocket to put a commercial planetary observational satellite into earth’s atmosphere. The launch went perfectly, but during the launch a strange mysterious craft was filmed. This UFO was flying at the same altitude as the rocket. It was moving along with the rocket as it started it’s orbit around the Earth. What was this object?
Nearly 60,000 UFO sightings MAPPED: Does this finally prove mystery link to US military?
Nearly 60,000 UFO sightings MAPPED: Does this finally prove mystery link to US military?
UFO investigators have mapped nearly 60,000 flying saucer sightings in the USA with staggering results that could show why there is an alleged link between UFOs and the military.
UFO MAP: Nearly 60,000 sightings have been plotted across the US.
Sightings recorded by the US-based National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), an independent organisation that logs and investigates such cases, have been charted on a map of North America.
Data analyst Adam Crahen plotted all 58,828 reports received by NUFORC for the US from 1995 to 2014 on a map of the US.
The impressive end result shows swathes of green UFO reports spread out across the vast country.
However, it has been suggested the most dense areas for sightings coincide with US military installations.
Alex Hollings, a retired US duty marine, now writes for Sofrep.com, a news and intelligence service provided by former special operations veterans.
He wrote: "When laying that same map of reported UFO sightings over a US map showing the locations of all military installations, an interesting trend starts to emerge.
It’s not as unlikely as you may think. Military aircraft are often mistaken for Unidentified Flying Objects in US skies because their shape and behaviour don’t adhere to the norms we’re accustomed to.
Alex Hollings
"Many of the regions that seem to show a high frequency of UFO reports coincide with the locations of military installations.
"For the conspiracy minded, this might mean our alien visitors have taken a particular interest in what our military is up to.
"Others might be inclined to conclude many of these supposed UFO sightings may be nothing more than misidentified military aircraft."
Conspiracy theorists have developed many claims about UFO and US military links.
The most far-fetched of which suggests intelligent aliens have arrived on Earth and been hidden away in top-secret US military installations away from public view.
There, they help military scientists reverse engineer their flying saucer technology, in return for being allowed to abduct a small number of human beings for their own experimentation.
Another slightly less outlandish claim suggests that aliens are not working with the military as above, but so-called black projects are underway at secret bases, such as Area 51 in Nevada.
There, it is claimed, experts try to reverse engineer UFOs that have been recovered after "crashes" in order to produce the most hi-tech spy craft ever built on Earth.
Many claim these "spy craft" being tested are then mistaken for alien UFOs.
Mr Hollings believes the real reason so many UFOs are see near military installations is more straight forward.
He added: "It’s not as unlikely as you may think. Military aircraft are often mistaken for Unidentified Flying Objects in US skies because their shape and behaviour don’t adhere to the norms we’re accustomed to.
"Sometimes, these sightings are the result of the testing of never before seen platforms, but others, it’s simply a matter of military aircraft not exhibiting the same behaviour seen from commercial aircraft above our heads.
"A bright light flying low over a rural region and moving in a seemingly unusual manner could be Martians… but it could also be a Blackhawk in the distance. Most people don’t have a lot of experience identifying either, through no fault of their own.
"Is this a reasonable explanation for nearly 60,000 sightings spread out over a 19-year span?
"Maybe not, but the next time you look to the sky and think you may see an inbound flying saucer, it might be worth doing a quick search to see how far you are from the nearest air national guard base. The answer may surprise you."
Groups like NUFORC and the larger, but similar US organisation the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), readily accept the about 95 per cent of the thousands of reports they receive can be explained by natural phenomena and misidentified aircraft built by humans.
The other around five per cent are said to remain a mystery.

Conspiracy theorists warn people after seeing vertical UFO lingering around Mexico (Video+)
Conspiracy theorists warn people after seeing vertical UFO lingering around Mexico (Video+)
The word “Alien” has been ever present in the human society for something that is beyond our understanding. Recently, this topic of extraterrestrial life sparked the interest of common man with the strange object that was spotted in the skies of Baja state located in Mexico. This mysterious object was captured via a cell phone that shows a vertical aligned UFO flying over a city located in this state.
The object in the video isn’t clear enough to prove the presence of an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO). However, one can derive from the video that there is a certain cylindrical object hovering over the city which is aligned in a vertical manner.
Rumors of UFO sighting have been highly prevalent since ages with no solid proof of the presence of intelligent life visiting the perimeter of earthly realms. This is the very first video of UFO sighting after the arrival of this New Year. The clip, shot in the Baja state of Mexico has already started trending on numerous social media platform with conspiracy theorists stating that aliens might be keeping an eye on our activities.
According to a conspiracy theorist, Pedro Ramirez, UFO sightings have increased in number in the recent months due to the fact that space agencies such as SpaceX and NASA have been busy launching space missions on a continuous basis. This continuous space exploration might have attracted the attention of intelligent life beyond our blue planet. You can easily see this tubular shaped UFO flying in a vertical manner over the city. If claims are to be believed, UFO sightings and other alien activities have increased over a few months and especially during the year 2017’s final two months.
Ramirez further added that aliens knew that we have been launching a number of space missions which might be perceived as “War Material” being sent up in the sky. The extraterrestrial beings might be concerned with our increased activities, thereby monitoring the planet to confirm the cause.
The video of this particular UFO sighting was captured by a woman who can be easily heard in the video exclaiming “What is this?” while she continued shooting the object with her phone’s camera. The video garnered around 50,000 shares by netizens all over the web which was a result of concern or indifference in observation.
When you explore the definition of a spaceship or UFO, this latest sighting has all the signs of an extra-terrestrial machine but defied the perception of our knowledge about UFOs. Normally we believe that UFOs are circular discs or saucer-like objects. This is the very first time a vertical one has been seen hovering in the sky.
NASA has always been keen on trying to explore the possibilities of alien life visiting Earth but when it comes to UFO sightings, the organization doesn’t seem as much interested. As per NASA astronomers, most of these sightings don’t even come under the explanation of UFO. For instance, in the year 1972 during the Apollo 16, three astronauts captured an object with a dome on top. Charles Duke, Thomas Mattingly, and John Young speculated this object to be a UFO. However, it turned out to be a spacewalk floodlight which is why most of the UFO sighting does not attract interest from NASA scientists.
As per the judgment over the Mexico sightings is concerned, it is still under consideration. The conspiracy theory behind such sightings might be true for some instances as space missions in the recent months have increased significantly which might be a red flag for the intelligent life living far away from us.

NASA researchers claim that extraterrestrial life will be entirely different from life on Earth. Scientists believe that extraterrestrial life could exist in forms entirely different from the common earthly model of carbon-based life.
Scientists believe that extraterrestrial life might have entirely different combinations of genetic materials and proteins which would make it hard to understand with our Earthly knowledge.
The earthly form of life has been formed by carbon molecules in two forms. DNA or RNA, the genetic materials which control the functions of cells and the proteins which cater mechanisms of living organisms.
All earthly organisms, excluding virus, are characterized by the presence of DNA made of 4 sugars, adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T). The difference in length and compositions of double helix DNA in organisms is responsible for the difference between them. Viruses differ from other organisms as their T letter has been replaced by U in genomic sequence. Even though the virus has RNA as their genetic material, they are found to be inactive outside a host body.
Aaron Burton, a planetary scientist of NASA says that DNA is like a language. It has got an alphabet of four letters, A, G, C and T. All the life forms on Earth use the same alphabet from the tiniest microbe to humans like books in a library. Differences are created with the difference in arrangement of the letters. But the entire book would have the combination of same letters giving commonality among existing life.
Scientists have identified 20 amino acids to form proteins in all Earthly organisms. More than 80 amino acids had been discovered in meteors like Murchison meteorite. Researchers are yet to find the significance of these amino acids in forming alien life.
The basic rule of life on Earth has been characterized by Darwinian principles of evolution. According to the theory, living organisms change over time as a result of changes in heritable physical or behavioral traits.
Earthly life vs Alien life
A DNA double helix is seen in an undated artist's illustration released by the National Human Genome Research Institute to Reuters on May 15, 2012. A group of 25 scientists June 2, 2016, proposed an ambitious project to create a synthetic human genome, or genetic blueprint, in an endeavor that is bound to raise concerns over the extent to which human life can or should be engineered.Reuters
Researchers say that presence of inorganic amino acids or salts in meteorites cannot qualify it as a form of life. Carbon forms quadrilateral pyramid structure bonds with molecules to form the sugars and amino acids. This structure would be either left handed or right handed bonds.
Life on earth is characterised by DNA formed by right-handed (D) sugar bonds and amino acids or its constituent proteins formed by left-handed (L)bonds. Scientists believe that all other extraterrestrial lives are be formed by L genetic material bonds and right-handed proteins.
Organisms functioning with L amino acid bond cannot synthesize or utilize Right-handed amino acids. Similarly, R sugars also cannot recognize their left-handed counterparts.
Scientists say that laboratory made L sugars cannot be used by earthly organisms. However, researchers have also found that laboratory made left-handed sugar could function along with right-handed proteins.
Scientists believe that meteorites with 50/50 right handed and left handed sugars are positive signs for extraterrestrial life. It was found that at least one meteorite would fall to Earth every day. These meteorites get contaminated by microorganisms living in the atmosphere.
The earthly microorganisms attached to the meteorite decays any organic or inorganic alien carbon compounds in them. Most part of the meteors burns in the atmosphere, vaporizing any organic compounds in its surface. They may form plasma layers in the upper earth atmosphere or may form anywhere on Earth. Recovery of these foreign objects is difficult as it might have fallen to oceans or any remote locations on Earth.
It was found that meteorite materials are enriched in carbon-13 isotopes while Earthly objects are mainly built of carbon 12 isotopes. Presence of carbon-13 in a polished looking stone is generally considered as a positive sign for it's out of planet origin. All earthly objects would also be contaminated by microorganisms and biological signs of the planet.
OSIRIS-REx
This artist's concept shows the Origins Spectral Interpretation Resource Identification Security - Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft contacting the asteroid Bennu with the Touch-And-Go Sample Arm Mechanism or TAGSAM. The mission aims to return a sample of Bennu's surface coating to Earth for study as well as return detailed information about the asteroid and it's trajectory.NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center
NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission to asteroid Bennu would collect samples from the unadulterated carbonaceous surface of the distant solar object in Kuiper belt. OSIRIS-REx would collect rock samples and soil from the half kilometer wide Asteroid Bennu.
The mission launched in September 2016 will reach its destination in January 2019. The probe will orbit the asteroid for a span of one and half years to map the structures in it, before landing in a significant location to study the region and to collect samples from it.
Astronomers believe that the mission could help in the study of alien life and in finding mysteries behind objects which form the solar system.
Absence of life on Mars, Moon
The planet Mars is shown May 12, 2016 in this NASA Hubble Space Telescope view taken May 12, 2016 when it was 50 million miles from Earth. Earth's neighbor planet makes its closest approach in a decade this month, providing sky-watchers with a celestial show from dusk to dawn.Reuters
NASA researchers, however, believe that life was never present on Mars or Moon. Research missions have collected rock samples from these neighbors to our planet and these are sometimes shell rock particles to its surroundings which might sometimes fall on the Earth's surface. But none of the samples have ever shown proof of life on these worlds even though traces of water and other minerals were observed.
Meanwhile, researchers also believe that microscopic life might be present in regions of planets which undergo sedimentation and tectonic activities.
