Filer’s Files #18 -2018 Flying Triangles - PART I
In special reports, this week’s files cover: Flying Triangles, North Korea, and 856 March Sightings
Phenomena sightings were reported over Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia. Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Utah, and Wisconsin.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Australia, Canada, China, Sweden, Turkey, and England 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.
Major George Filer Editor of The National UFO Center, would like to invite join him in Mt Shasta this summer July 27-29th 2018. He will present a wonderful program at the “From Venus with Love” conference.
Fifty years ago (March 7, 1971), a prototype of a new class of aircraft, so odd-shaped that John McPhee of The New Yorker dubbed it the “Deltoid Pumpkin Seed” completed its one and only successful test flight at the FAA Test Center in New Jersey. The craft was an early attempt at a hybrid airship that would rely on both an aerodynamic shape and internal helium to lift heavy cargo loads at low cost, and into remote areas where large cargo planes could not land.
The aircraft was intended as a forerunner of much larger craft thatwould contain helium; these designs were dubbed “Dynairships.” One proposal, the AEREON 340, was to have been 340 feet (100 m) long, with a wingspan of 256 feet (78 m) and total lift of 400,000 pounds (180,000 kg). Powered by four 5,500 horsepower Rolls-Royce Tyne turboprop engines, it was claimed to be capable of carrying intermodal containers or semi-trailers, operating slightly heavier than air. A patent for “a cargo-carrying air ship comprising a gas-filled, low aspect ratio deltoid wing” was granted in 1969; according to this patent, “extremely large ships, having lengths in excess of 1,000 feet (300 m)” and capable of economically transporting “large payloads, ranging up to 1,000 long tons or more” over long distances, were feasible.
Generally, the craft are flown at night and kept in hangars or underground. There are legitimate needs for secrecy. A series of low flying black or dark grey triangles have been flying over the US and UK for several decades. They have generated thousands of reports. They generally fly well below the flight level of normal commercial aircraft. They may alien or a copy of alien craft. Some craft fly only a few feet above the trees or buildings. Numerous reports claim the craft
The craft are a dull, non-reflective dark grey color, without visible markings, (they have ID’s that respond to the proper RF interrogation, similar to the old IFF systems) and they are flown at night. It is likely the intial pumpkin seed design was upgraded and large triangle craft were built. The intial designs were
“David” in the UK writes at last we have more proof that Black Triangles are likely ours. The British military have had large triangles on test flights around the UK and Europe for the past 10 years according to my data, remember the Belgium sighting from the early 90’s and countless others?. Black Triangles are Top Secret and Classified and according to the NEXUS Magazine there D Notices, (i.e they do not exist in the interest of national security the UK media will not report any sightings of triangles. I believe that triangles will eventually become Grey projects in time, just as the stealth bomber has become de-classified as a grey project, so black triangles will also be. They are often seen in South Cumbria around the Morecombe Bay area, and over various coastal Nuclear Powere Stations.
AEREON LIFTING BODY
The Aereon Lifting body is one of a series of black triangle aircraft operating in the US and UK inventory. The larger platforms are lighter-than-air vehicles that use the latest composite materials in construction to reduce their radar image. They are used for Airborne Warning and Control systems, reconnaissance, the covert insertion of troops and airlift of classified materials. Similar craft such as the Aereon 340, Aereon 26, etc., were on the drawing board in the 1960s. US Patent 3,761,041 shows a lifting body that was designed to carry large bulky loads such as large phased array radars similar that mounted in Aegis class ships. Small piloted experimental aircraft were test-flown at Atlantic City Airport before the whole thing was covered up.
Although Aereon appeared to develop the original patents and ideas they do not appear to have been given the contract for building the actual aircraft. I was shown video of the early successful flights of the Aereon craft by the President William Miller. Work undertaken by various experts was classified in 1976/7.
It is believed some of the advantages of the Navy’s Aegis system were incorporated into the Aereon lifting body. The photos of how the Aegis system looks at the Lockheed Martin Combat System Engineering Plant, in Moorestown, New Jersey. This system is normally mounted on a Navy destroyers and cruisers. The Aereon craft could be used by the military to handle exceptionally large amounts of cargo, fuel, or a huge, horizontal triangular phased-array radar antennas (somewhat like an airborne version of the “Pave Paws” ballistic missile detection radar). The is kept in the air by multiple internal helium balloonets and powered by quiet ducted turboprops. Based on eye witness description near Pine Bush, New York the craft seems to be composed of numerous squares of triangular shaped balloons or blimp like structures. Sometimes a superstructure similar to a large ship is observed rising above the main bulk of the craft. Several up close observers such as Ellen Crystal stated the ship was measured sixty feet on each side of the triangle and was bristling with antennas.
Ellen Crystal’s drawings of craft seen near Pine Bush, NY. Dr. Ellen Crystall claims in her 1991 book, Silent Invasion, that she detected evidence for an underground alien base near Pine Bush, NY. .
AEREON Lifting Bodies flying triangle craft are one of the most frequent UFO shapes sighted in recent years. Detailed identifications of these craft indicate one or more is in continuous operation in various parts of the world. In the mid 1980s they were most frequently spotted in the Hudson Valley of the Northeastern part of the United States. In the late 1980s, the area of operation appeared to move to Belgium, in the 90s the sightings occurred mostly over the southeastern coast of England and the North Sea. A black triangle was spotted hovering over Mohonk Mountain Resort New Paltz, NY in November 6, 1998, by several employees of the resort. This craft appears to operate in Canada and the Northeastern part of the US. There have been no announcements by any nation claiming that these large V-shaped craft belong to them.
One possibility is that they deliberately designed the craft to be stealth like by making the craft look like an UFO, so nobody takes the matter seriously. Ridicule and refusal by the news media to publish these stories work to keep the craft secret. The craft can do what they want over populated areas due to the very nature of their appearance. The movement near the Hudson Valley and along the East Coast of England infers these crafts have a long range radar capability. Because it is continually moving enemy forces would have a difficult time targeting its location.
Witnesses report the craft to be black, with white lights at each corner and a red light in the middle. The craft is said to be larger than the width of a super highway, sometimes as large as a football field and either completely silent or accompanied by a faint hum. The craft hover or travel at a very slow speed, 45 mph or less, a speed that would seem incapable of keeping the object airborne. The craft has also been reported to have a phenomenal acceleration, disappearing from over-head to out-of-sight in a few seconds! Sometimes the object ‘blinks out’ and just disappears. The object may carry missiles and other devices to fool the observer.
The earliest reliable witness to these craft occurred Norm Buckallew was at a drive in movie in the summer of 1968. His eye caught a huge object coming from the south east in a brightly lit sky. The full moon made it stand out like a neon sign. He threw the speaker out the window and got in gear, to the complete surprise and quick complaints of my friend. Off we sped, in my 65 Corvair following the highway for seven miles as it drifted slowly along, not going over 40-45 miles an hour the entire time we followed watching it.
We stopped and watched this huge thing glide over us without sound. Its size caused goose bumps to travel up and down my spine. What was this huge black object? It looked like a pyramid. The total size would be about two blocks wide at its rear end, it was a good fifteen to twenty feet thick with rounded edges. There was no sign of any engines at all and no outside lights. However. Along the side toward us we could see clearly a row of windows with a yellow light emitting from them. We could also see figures moving around inside looking out the windows at the ground. There was quite a number of them. We could make out no features but, they had heads, torso, arms and legs like our own. This huge silent craft sounds exactly like what was seen all over Arizona, I know for a fact this was no normal air plane. Its altitude was about 800 feet as it passed over their heads. I have seen UFOs all my life, this was the largest I ever saw and the slowest.
The craft was hovering over large buildings, such as a church in Belgium, and homes in the Northeast. The witnesses agree that the craft is exceptionally large, bigger than any known aircraft. One of the largest aircraft in the world C-5s regularly operate over the Hudson Valley and are based at Stewart Air National Guard Base. Witnesses claim these FT craft are two to five times larger than the C-5 whose wingspan is 223 feet and length is 248 feet. If we double the size of the flying triangle it has roughly both a wingspan and fuselage length of 500 feet. The solid deltoid wing shape obviously it would make it appear as a huge and massive craft. Some estimates imply a thousand foot wing span. Several photos have surfaced that indicate a large triangle with rounded corners at the alleged wing tips.
I met with William Miller the President of Aereon and had him speak to our Air Force Association Group. He showed our group video of the development and flight of his experimental craft. He indicated his company had developed several patents for this kind of technology. One of them, incredibly, was for a huge, triangular, lighter-than air AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) carrying giant phased-array radar antennas, based on the old Aereon lifting-body design and powered by turboprops! They apparently have received limited funding in the past from the Air Force, but he assured me they had not built the craft in the photos and drawings. They are simply called lifting bodies.
They are often seen in the general vicinity of Stewart Airport near Newburg, New York, and Westover Air Force Base in Massachusetts. There is speculation that a secret base is somewhere in the Catskills or atFort Drum in northwestern, New York. They are seen as far south as Georgia and Florida. The craft seem to move along a low level military corridor in the Appalachian Mountains. The secrecy may be related to violation of SALT treaty provisions or hopes of keeping the aircraft secret until needed. There were also intriguing reports of “slow-moving triangles” near the military flight test center at Edwards AFB, CA in this period.
I have detailed knowledge of the close encounter between UFOs and Belgian F16’s in March 1990. It was recorded on radar tape that one of the unknowns accelerated to 40 Gs. This is claimed to be clear cut evidence for the ET origin of this vehicle, because terrestrial craft fighters have a maximum acceleration capacity of about 10 Gs. An aircraft that can carry unusually large radars, would likely also be able to send out radar signals they may have fooled the Belgian F-16s into thinking it was taking high G evasive action.
The craft may have perfected a unique camouflage system. The skin of the craft could change color to mimic the sky or ground on its reverse side. A large slow moving, low flying craft would be very vulnerable to enemy action and need both camouflage and stealth operation. The large size of the craft indicates it would need a crew of fifteen to twenty operate the various functions such as radar, take off and landing, cargo, navigation, etc. New composites and plastics can be made clear, or designed to change color with light. An effective camouflage technique is to provide enough light to an object so that it has the same amount of light has the background. During daylight an object can be made almost invisible by simply flooding it with enough light to match the sky, either from within or by bathing light on the exterior. Lights can be switched off and on causing the craft to appear and disappear as by magic. My wife and I happened to see six lights moving in unison over Marlton, NJ. I gave chase in my car reaching speeds of 60 mph. It out distanced us flying towards Philadelphia. It was dusk and an overcast day, we could clearly see the lights but no structure. The lights were either flying formation in a roughly triangle shape or they were attached to an object that neither of us could see. I have tried to determine the technology to hide an aircraft. Additionally, this craft would need to hide from the prying eyes of satellites and enemy fighters. Flying slow and low changing its colors to match the terrain below it, the craft would appear virtually invisible from above. During night time operations it could use small lights to look like stars. However, the Aereon at night is often are described using three very bright spotlights, shinning down on the ground. Often a large red light is also described either in the nose or the center of the craft. This may be a device to pump hot air into the craft similar to what is used on hot air balloons. During peace time night operations the greatest danger to this craft would come from mid-air collisions. Consequently, the bright lights are used to avoid collision but also to appear from out of this world.
If a Third World War should break out in Europe, most long range radars would be destroyed in the initial minutes of the war. Lockheed Martin Corporation and others have designed this type of equipment for use on Aegis Class destroyers and cruisers. The Aereon may have been designed to carry this relatively large and bulky equipment. To accomplish this task a different type of aircraft was needed. Generally Airborne Warning and Control aircraft have a limited 250 mile range radar. With rapidly increased fighter and bomber air speeds, a moveable very long range radar was needed for increased survivability, surveillance and to control defense applications. Additionally, solid-state Radar was needed for detection and tracking of tactical ballistic missiles and cueing for defensive missile systems. Additionally, defense is needed against attacking fighters, helicopters and ground fired weapons. New 3-D radars with L-band operating frequency could provide superior detection performance on all types of targets and improved detection in all types of weather. Both a fixed radar site and high flying AWACs aircraft are relatively vulnerable. Communication with satellite data links and air defense units would be needed to control the actual battle. Daylight operation would be the most dangerous to a blimp like aircraft. It could hide among the radar ground clutter or be built of stealth materials that are not easily detected on radar. The craft may be equipped for modern battlefield needs, command flexibility, and reliable detection of rotary wing and fighter threats. A short range air defense system, anti-aircraft missiles and high velocity weapons may be installed for point defense. A sophisticated radar system may be installed to detect, classify, and track distant targets The craft is likely equipped with advanced countermeasures (ECCM). The radar should be able to simultaneously monitor and track more than 20,000 targets. The Aereon because of its size and lift capability provides both mobility and survivability.
UNITED KINGDOM
typical night for the Aereon Lifting Body is to travel around Southeastern England, moving among the three Nuclear Power Stations at Sizewell in Suffolk, Bradwell in Essex and Dungeness Nuclear Power Plant in Kent. These plants are watched closely due to thier importance to the British Electrical power grid and large easily spotted chimneys. During 1996 and 97 there were almost nightly visits to the vicinity of these power plants. This may be accidental due to the fact any craft moving along the Eastern coast would eventually cross near these plants.
British aviation enthusiasts point out that these craft operate near known military bases. It is interesting the Soviets have built a similar blimp like disc shape craft. This craft appears to be some 400 feet in diameter and may be used for carrying large amounts of crude oil. The large number of sightings suggest these craft are man made. It is likely that they operate with NATO forces and may be an upgraded long range Airborne Battlefield Command and Control Center (ABCCC). They may also perform an anti tactical missile role. They seem to operate along the Appalachian Mountains mostly in the northeast and in England.
TR3B
There is likely a hypersonic version operating a speeds above 5 times the speed of sound. The first hard evidence the USAF (or the National Reconnaissance Office) was testing a hypersonic aircraft surfaced in 1990. Strange double-sonic-booms rocked sleeping Californians awake and triggered earth quake detection-equipment. Stealth watchers were quick to catch on and dubbing the booms “skyquakes”. ccording to Jim Mori, a seismologist at the California Institute of Technology, the sonic boom signatures recorded by the 220 seismic sensors, operated by the U.S. Geological Service, emanated from aircraft traveling at high-supersonic speed. Mori also said “Òther frequency and shape of the seismic waves indicated the sonic booms were caused by an aircraft, much smaller than the Space Shuttle, a hypersonic aircraft about the size of an SR-71. At that time the only operational SR-71 was based at Edwards AFB, flown by NASA and was not in the air at the time of the “skyquakes”. On many occasions, the booms came in pairs (minutes apart) suggesting that there was more than one hypersonic aircraft on a test flight at the same time. USGS seismic sensors indicated the craft was over Southern California and into Nevada, on a heading for a landing Groom Lake where much of the Pentagon’s covert technology is tested and based.
Accompanying the skyquakes were multiple sightings of wedged- shaped aircraft all over the United States and abroad. An aircraft with a diamond shaped pattern of lights was seen flying in a formation of F-117s, refueling with a KC-10 tanker over Beale AFB, near Sacramento, California. According to a February 1992 issue of the “Scotsman Sunday Post”, high altitude tests of an American hypersonic aircraft were conducted over the North Atlantic. The mystery aircraft were observed landing at the U.S. Special Forces base at Machrihanish, Scotland. Numerous press reports of loud-roaring- wedge-shaped-aircraft scaring sheep on the Scottish Mull of Kintyre and mysterious fast-moving radar blips speeding above Mach 3 by civilian air traffic controllers in Scotland began filing UK newspapers. In 1989, oil drilling engineer Chris Gibson, an accomplished aircraft observer (having served 12 years with Royal Observer Corp.Õs international aircraft recognition team) witnessed a black- wedge shaped aircraft flying over the North Sea. The aircraft was refueling with a KC-135 tanker and escorted by two F-111 chase planes, reinforcing claims that the aircraft was being based somewhere in the British Isles.
Military insiders say that a project involving a hypersonic reconnaisance aircraft was cancelled in 1993. Other sources say that the project (called Q) became too expensive and considered unfeasible. The Aurora aircraft is said to be in flyable condition (in storage) at the mysterious Groom Lake flight-test facility located inside the Nellis Test Range in Nevada. According to some insiders, one components of the Aurora/Senior Citizen system was not abandoned. A stealthy high-speed reconnaissance drone,
originally launched off the back of “Aurora” (much like the D-21 drone and SR-71 mothership concept) did survive. This is the craft possibly responsible for the strange “donuts-on-a-rope” contrails reported seen over the southwest. In any event, evidence does support that something high-flying and stealthy is still transiting the night skies of the world. The high speed hypersonic Aurora may be an unmanned robotic drone. KC-10 tankers at Mc Guire Air Force Base regularly refuel high performance type aircraft over the Atlantic Ocean.
Triangle preparing to attack in Soviet Draawings
The dissolution of the Soviet Union occurred on December 26, 1991, officially granting self-governing independence to the Republics of the Soviet Union. The following year I met with two Soviet ColoneIs who
Triangle Craft Landed shooting at radar site
claimed the Soviet Union was under attack by triangle craft that were destroying key military facilities through out the country. The Colonels claimed Mikhail Gorbachev had been visited by aliens and threatened the anailation of the Soviet Union if they would not disolve amd remove the threat of nuclear war. President George Herbert Walker Bush senior was in charge and may have set up the historic confrontation. President Bush postponed his university studies, enlisted in the U.S. Navy on his 18th birthday, and became the youngest aviator in the U.S. Navy at the beginning of World War II. He flew am Avenger and was shot down and recoveed to fly another 68 combat missions. He served until September 1945, then attended Yale Univerity. He had later been Director of the Cia and directed a series classified missions. The successful attacks on the Soviet Union were carried out by triangle shaped craft with no markings and brought the Cold War to an end.
North Korea
There has been a sudden change in North Korea’s stance, from bragging they are able to hit the US mainland with a nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles to claiming they are surrendering this capability. In 2017, North Korea under Kim Jong Un overcame technological hurdles to its long quest to build a modern nuclear weapons program, conducting a large underground detonation and test launching at least 17 ballistic missiles. . One or more might be able to reach the US unless knocked down by US antimissile systems. Pyongyang recently said. “Washington was considering a pre-emptive strike against it and the US had moved anti-missile systems, advanced aircraft and ships into the South Korea area.” The U.S.likely started flying high speed triangle aircraft over North Korea. Kim Jong Un’s rogue regime went to China and Russia for support and were basically turned down..
Various bombers were flying along the North Korean border and along the coasts and allegedly their radar was having trouble tracking the B-1 bombers.The US biefed up its forces near the Korean border and likely flew high speed craft over North Korea on fairly routine missions showing Kim Jong Un the US could strike any target at will. Kim Jong Un likely decided peace was better than anilation. He got the world’s attention and President Trump has agreed to meet with him and probably willing to provide finacial help. In rural areas people are poorly fed and undernourished and defections are common.
Kim Jong Un is a basketball fan has a certain fascination with the West and probably wants the best for his people. To help make his decision the North Korea nuclear test site mountain partially collapsed and may be out of action according to a China study under the stress of multiple explosions,.
A controlled explosion in September caused an initial magnitude-6.3 tremor, that is believed to have triggered four more earthquakes over the following weeks. The findings suggest the partial collapse of the mountain that contains the testing tunnels, as well as the risk of radiation leaks, have potentially rendered the site unusable.
The findings could cast doubt on North Korea’s sincerity in announcing last weekend that it would stop testing nuclear weapons. Apparently, playing tough with is what he understands.
In April, B-1Bs flew further north along North Korea’s coast than at any time in the past 17 years. The sortie prompted Pyongyang’s foreign minister to warn that U.S. bombers could be shot down even if they did not enter North Korean airspace.
A satellite image from 13 April 2017 shows North Korea’s Punggye-ri nuclear test site.

U.S. national security adviser H.R. McMaster said at the weekend the possibility of war was “increasing every day.” He said Trump was prepared to take action against North Korea but was working to convince China, Russia and others to do more to press Pyongyang to get it to give up its weapons programs.”
Appaently with U.S. pressure, Kim Jong Un has decided to at least try a more peaceful position. Trump calls Kim ‘very honourable’ and says North Korea wants summit as soon as possible

Filer’s Files #18 -2018 Flying Triangles - PART II
UFO Sightings in the United States
Arizona Comet
El Mirage — Was standing out back of our house smoking a cigarette on Feburary 6, 2018, I saw a strange light that wasn’t normal. I called to my husband to come look. We started to take pictures and I recorded a short video of our experience. Shortly after when we tried to show friends they were unable to view anything in the video other than darkness. Upon watching it again we were able to see the object. Thanks to MUFON CMS
California Object
Stockton – I saw a yellowish orange triangle flying very low and completely silent on March 30, 2018. I looked out my window and saw a triangular shaped object flying silently thru the sky from the west moving south east. Moving very fast and did not make a sound. Kind of looked like flames coming out of the top. After about 3 minutes it flashed and than flashed a few more times and than it was gone. Thanks to Peter Davenport www.ufocenter.com
Colorado Lights
Demver — I was watching the news on the morning of April 25, 2018 and at the end of the broadcast they showed a shot of Downtown Denver. The scene is normally without anything in the sky but on April 25th there were two disc like lights in the sky. I contacted the network (Channel 4 CBS) and received a reply that it is a sunspot. I would like you to take a look and tell me what it is. It looks exactly like a UFO to me. Right below where these lights appeared is where the Colorado State Capitol is located. The objects did not move and are visible for about 8-10 seconds until the video ends.. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Lights
Homestead — Object not present in photo one second before then appears. Expand the photo and look at the bottom edge of the large quarter moon.
Visited Coral Castle took still photos noticed object when I arrived home and observed photos. In Third frame not second frame one second beforehand . CMS
Georgia Lights
Atlanta— When I moved to Atlanta in October 2015 my dad visited and then headed back. While he was flying after a storm had ended he spotted a bright object in the sky. He was flying around 30,000 feet and tested his new iPhone 8 on a star. Days later he zoomed in it to realize it wasnt what he thought it was. He sent me the live picture of the UFO and if you see the picture it looks like a castle like ship where the tower like structures were spinning. The red ‘ribbon’ was moving or flying around the ship. My dad was flying around 30,000 feet and it seemed like it was about 35,000 feet above the plane. My dad knows that we’re not alone. I have witnessed many anomalous events as well. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Kansas Disc
Wichita— I had gone to Wichita Kansas with my brother to stay at his girlfriend’s parents home for Thanksgiving on November 24, 2007. I took my son with me. We were sleeping in front of a large sliding glass door that looked out into the backyard to a pond. It was 7:15 AM, I woke up on my back, to see something over the pond. I flipped over real quick, to make sure of what I was seeing. As I looked out the window on my stomach now. I could see an object hovering 10 foot over the pond. It was about 30-40 feet across in the center of the pond. It was a Silver, purplish gray with matt finish. It had rounded edges flat ends with a flat bottom with a round half dome on the top. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Louisiana Triangle
Shreveport — I had gone outside to smoke and looked up and there was this object flying directly overhead on November 3, 2016. It was too slow to be an airplane and made no sound. This thing was huge and had four lights on it. I saw it very well. It was black with white lights on each tip and a red light on the underbelly. It was gone too fast to go back inside to grab a camera as we have woodlands pretty much around us. I have attached a picture I got from the internet. It is what I saw. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Massachusetts Triangle
Northampton –. Noticed an object near local small airport, figured it was a plane, but realized there were no wings. Saw red light and said to my 11 year old here comes a helicopter. So we watched as it was coming closer, until it slightly turned and the Sun brightly reflected off its side and nearly made it invisible. A triangle ufo was the following river upstream
I realized it was a perfect triangle making no sound. Staying at about 600′ above ground, it traveled North filling the Connecticut River, winding as the river does. Seemed to be mapping the river. Thanks to Peter Davenport www.ufocenter.com
New Jersey Sightings
Eatontown — I was driving down the highway, I noticed I very large dark cigar shaped object with no lights hovering, I snapped a pic. I saw a huge cigar shaped object hovering on April 20, 2018.
Weird things have been happening with me, a week before this sighting I really thought they took me. I woke up with bruises all over me on March 30, 2018. I sent those pictures in also. I’ve been feeling things lately. I just feel like they’re following me or watching me. We chased this thing for 20 miles, over the lake. It just vanished. Most nights I can feel them before they come and when I wake up I know they have been here mostly because the power is usually out and I have a horrible headache. I’ve always felt things, ever since I was a little girl but now things seem to be happening at a much faster pace. Thanks to MUFON CMS.
New York Object
Windam — I was with my brother George and his girlfriend Crystal on April 10. 2015. We were visiting a local hot-spot on a summer 80 degree day called Point-Lookout, in East Windham. Its known for its 5 state view, at “The Captains Inn.” What made us notice the object was afterwards once the photo was already taken. Although it is clearly in the picture, there was not a plane, a helicopter, or anything I could possibly think of in the sky that day. I don’t know how to explain it, but it wasn’t anywhere’s but in the photo. I’ve had other experiences but this one is by far the closest proof I’ve ever had. The feeling I got afterwards was extremely intense, looking at the picture. I felt the energy of being watched. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Ohio Lights
North Royalton— On May 1, 2018, I was at home closing my blinds when I looked out and saw a large headlight flying towards my building. It was about 9:30 PM. I recorded it on my cell phone. The huge circular headlight with 5 little lights on the right side of the object. Object flew a straight pattern with the little lights moving around the body of the object. As it flies past strobe lights are seen on the left and right side of the headlight. I was just in awe, as it flew over my building. I heard what sounded like a plane in the distance.

Oklahoma Object
I was outside of my home town watching the sunset as I always do and taking pictures because of the obvious beautyon August 18, 2017, and I always take multiples, but I never noticed this object until a year later, me and my grandpa was talking about my pictures and I started pointing things out, so I started going through all of my pictures and realized how many pictures I have of diffrent entity(s), the object, or whatever it may be is smaller in size,solid black but it looks as if it has two or three possible lights projecting from the object, or maybe just a reflection, it’s hard to observe considering I’m on my mobile phone. There was no motion at all, in a’ll three of the shots I took, it stayed in the same position the entire time. Again it’s been a year sense I took the shots and just now realize it, but I was excited to see these object’s. And Again, sense it’s a year later and I didn’t realize it at the time, I’m not sure what happened to this object. Or the means of what may have happened to it.
Texas Cigar
Houston – I never thought I’d have something to add. Just observed this near Memorial Drive and Shepard on April 29, 1018.
Object was moving north northwest. Was keeping the same elevation and didn’t move like balloons.
Much larger, vertical structure like a floating tower with a pointed tip at the top.
Don’t know what the hell that was. Freaking out a bit.

Utah Lights
St.George — I was driving home from to Enterprise on Mayl 1, 2018 4, 2018, heading northwest on Highway 18 at 2:45 am. At mile marker 38 I saw two green lights to the southwest as I drove on the lights came closer towards me and were descending from the dark sky. Then as the lights got closer I realized this was a bigger object than I thought and it began hovering next to me. I turned right down my street there were the two green lights again, about 150 yards in front of me and 20 feet above the ground coming at me so I turned my lights off and grabbed my phone. As I snapped two pictures the object just hovered in place for about 15 seconds and red light blinking below the green lights, then it floated away. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Laxenburg / south of Vien — I was walking through the village with my Canon 70D (100 mm Macro lens).
Made some pictures and went back home on April 28, 2018. After downloading I detected these strange objects on the screen (Adobe Photoshop) .. ! That’s all.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Canada Object
Gabriola Island — The object was evident in a photograph taken of my brother on Gabriola Island on October 6th 2012. I had taken two photos of my brother standing on a rock with my iPhone 4. The photos were taken in quick succession, no more than 5 seconds apart. In the second photo an object is apparent over the water to the right and just above my brother’s head. It appears to reflect the sun and to be about a mile away or more. The object is not apparent in the first photo taken. Thanks to MUFON CMS
China Lights
Xi’an — 1. Over the sky in Xi’an, China 2. Astigmatism lasts about 20 minutes 3. Constant astigmatism 4. Astigmatism rotates 5. Feeling weird 6. Into the cloud it disappears on April 12, 2018.

Sweden Objects
Luleå— I was walking towards the bus and randomly looked up in the sky because the sun was shining and there they were 6-8 flying black diamond/triangle shaped objects in a wide line on February 9, 2018. No noise was made by them. Another strange thing was that after I took photos on my smartphone I could still see them in the sky but couldn’t catch them in a video. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Turkey Sphere
The objects passed in four pieces. They were blinking white lights on what appears to be a metallic surface. What appeared as lights may be sun reflecting off shiny surface.
Photo was taken on April 29. 2018. Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK Triangle
Stonehouse— I was up on my roof stargazing on April 19, 2018, when suddenly I noticed a black triangle moving southwest slowly across the sky. It was travelling at a steady commercial aircraft pace. I stargaze frequently but this was unlike anything I have ever seen. The craft was clearly a solid and complete a triangle, It had six white lights around the edge, evenly spaced. The craft kept moving at the same pace until it went beyond my view. Thanks to MUFON CMS

The truth is out there … and it’s not from another planet. Previously unseen documents reveal how officials at the UK’s Ministry of Defence handled the “UFO mania” of the late 1990s.
In 1997, there was a massive spike in interest around UFOs, fueled by the 50th anniversary of the purported UFO incident in Roswell, New Mexico, and the global popularity of the “X-Files” TV series.
Set against this backdrop, over-worked officials at the Ministry of Defence sought to cut their commitment to investigating UFO reports, the Guardian reports.
The documents were obtained from the MoD by Dr. David Clarke, a principal research fellow at the UK’s Sheffield Hallam University. “The new papers show the UFO desk head in 1997 ‘wanted to get rid of’ an issue they considered a ‘diversion from their main duties,’” Clarke wrote in a blog post. “Within the files civil servants, intelligence officers and military staff debate how the British Government should respond to growing public interest in the phenomena and what they called ‘the media’s obsession with UFOs.’”
The files run to more than 2,500 pages and some of the more sensitive papers, declassified from “secret,” are heavily redacted, according to Clarke. “What has survived the censor’s pen paints a fascinating picture of the arguments that raged behind closed doors in Whitehall around the 50th anniversary of the UFO mystery in 1997,” he wrote.
One RAF Wing Commander, for example, urged caution on shifting focus away from UFOs. “He argued that as MoD had not carried out any study of the UFO data they had collected since the 1970s it was not credible – and also politically risky – to continue to claim UFOs posed no ‘threat to the realm’,” Clarke explained.
In 1996, the MoD commissioned a defense contractor to produce a comprehensive report on UFO sightings, which were carefully described as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP).
The report, which analyzed a database of sightings between 1987 and 1997, was delivered in 2000. The study duly found that most sightings could be explained by a range of known phenomena, both natural and man-made.
This opened the door for the MoD to start scaling back its UFO-related operations. The DI55 department, which had secretly collected data on potential UFO sightings since 1967, closed at the end of 2000. The MoD’s UFO Desk closed in 2009.
It appears, however, that the writing was already on the wall for the MoD’s UFO operations long before the report was finished. In a document dated April 16, 1998, the report’s author writes: “I am particularly looking ahead to my expected recommendation, that DI55 should no longer be involved in UAP monitoring.”
“It was the end-game,” Clarke told Fox News. “They created a definitive study that would draw a line under their involvement in the subject.”
The academic notes that in 1997 MoD officials were clearly swamped with reports of UFO sightings. At that time, the Ministry even had a UFO hotline that members of the public could call. “The workload on the subject had trebled as a result of what was going on in popular culture,” he said.
The hotline eventually closed in 2009.
“All our historic files which refer to UFOs have either been released, or are in the process of being released to The National Archives,” explained the MoD, in a statement emailed to Fox News. “The MoD continues to have no opinion on the existence, or otherwise, of extra-terrestrial life and does not investigate reported unidentified flying object sightings.”

Scientists Find Mysterious Time Crystals In Children Toys
Scientists Find Mysterious Time Crystals In Children Toys
Ok, so you’d probably ask what the heck are time crystals and what are they doing in kids’ toys?
We’d have to define first what crystals are. Crystals—ordinary crystals—are defined as being a structure made of a homogeneous solid substance having a natural geometrically regular form with symmetrically arranged plane faces.
Crystals—like quartz or even salt—are composed of atoms that are arranged in a fixed grid. These atoms don’t move around. In other words, if we take a look at a diamond, for example, we will find that the atoms are arranged in a repeating pattern through space.
However, in time crystals these laws do not apply.
Atoms inside of Time Crystals tend to oscillate. These atoms have a tendency of spinning in one direction and when exposed to electromagnetic pulses, they switch direction and spin the opposite way.
However, when that same electromagnetic pulse is irregular, this doesn’t change as time crystals seem to be locked into a particular frequency which guards their irregularity.
In other words, the pattern behind time crystals repeats in time.
CURIOUS CRYSTAL A time crystal appears in monoammonium phosphate (shown). The spins of atomic nuclei in the crystal flip at regular intervals when hit with radio waves.

Time crystals are composed of a bunch of interacting atoms that never ‘settle down’ to thermal equilibrium. They are like really cool rebel crystals.
Also dubbed DTC’s or Discrete Time Crystals, scientists at Yale discovered one made from monoammonium phosphate (MAP) crystals. Thee happen to be the crystals that kids know and love when they get them in toy kitsto grow their own crystals at home. Which is why researchers at Yale were left stumped when they detected them.
Scientists used nuclear magnetic resonance to spot the DTC’s signature in a map crystal that had been intended for an entirely different test.
“We decided to try searching for the DTC signature ourselves,” said physicist Sean Barrett, senior author on two new papers about this discovery.
“Our crystal measurements looked quite striking right off the bat. Our work suggests that the signature of a DTC could be found, in principle, by looking in a children’s crystal growing kit.”
“We realized that just finding the DTC signature didn’t necessarily prove that the system had a quantum memory of how it came to be,” said Yale graduate student Robert Blum, co-author on the studies.
“This spurred us to try a time crystal ‘echo,’ which revealed the hidden coherence, or quantum order, within the system,” added lead study author Jared Rovny, also a Yale graduate student.
“It’s too early to tell what the resolution will be for the current theory of discrete time crystals, but people will be working on this question for at least the next few years,” Barrett said.
Scientists say that one day, time crystals could be used in atomic clocks, gyroscopes, and magnetometers, among other devices.
The Sword Of Goujian, The Weapon That Challenged Time, An Oriental Excalibur
The Sword Of Goujian, The Weapon That Challenged Time, An Oriental Excalibur
Despite having been crafted more than 2,000 years ago, the Goujian sword has a sharp blade, as sharp as the day it was crafted, and shows no signs of tarnish. Such resistance to tarnish rarely seen in artifacts so old.
In 1965 an archaeological expedition fifty tombs belonging to the period of the Springs and Autumns (722 to 481 BC) in China’s Hubei Province, located around 7 kilometers from the ruins of Jinan, capital of the former state of Chu.
In one of those tombs, next to the skeletal remains of a man, researchers discovered an ancient sword whose structure and sharpness had not been altered despite being crafted more than two thousand years ago.
At the archeological site, experts recovered more than 2,000.
The sword, which is currently housed in the Hubei Provincial Museum, was carefully sheltered in a virtually airtight lacquered wooden box.
The sword measures 55.6 cm long and weighs 875 grams.
The sheet is manufactured with an alloy of copper and tin, decorated with blue and turquoise crystals and covered with millenary ideograms.
The hilt of the sword is wrapped in silk moorings while the knob is formed by 11 concentric circles.
Experts in traditional Chinese language eventually analyzed the inscriptions of the sword and translated their symbols.
The researchers concluded that the sword was forged by King Goujian (496 – 465 BC), and called it the Goujian Sword, the ancient weapon that defied time.
The ancient sword was unlike anything experts had seen.
The weapon did not have a single trace of rust, something that experts found hard to believe.
Incredibly, the sword’s blade, despite the time that had gone by, managed to cut the archaeologist’s finger as he tested the sharpness of the sword, upon finding it.
However, in addition to being a weapon that seemed to have been crafted recently, with unprecedented quality, its extremely intricate decoration features turned it into one of the most unique swords ever discovered in China.
The ancient sword is a treasure of ancient Chinese history.
In fact, some scholars even compare the Goujian Sword to the legendary Excalibur, believed to have been the sword of King Arthur.
After careful studies, experts quickly noted that the enigmatic sword belongs to a class of swords known as Jian: straight, double-edged swords, used in China for the last 2,500 years.
These weapons are considered as the oldest swords in China and are closely associated with their rich and plentiful mythology.
In Chinese folklore, this weapon is called the “Knight of the Arms” and is one of the four primary weapons, along with the stick, the spear, and the saber.
Why the sword remains sharp despite the fact that it had been forged more than 2,000 years ago remains a mystery, but experts point to the weapons composition, claiming that it remained in such an impeccable state thanks to the metals with which it was made, which allowed it to stay so well preserved.
Studies have revealed that a high proportion of sulfur and copper sulfide have allowed the sword to remain stainless.
The weapon is made according to a millenarian tradition of Chinese blacksmiths.
Its owner, King Goujian was the ruler of the Kingdom of Yue (present-day northern Zhejiang) near the end of the Spring and Autumn period. Goujian’s reign coincided with arguably the last major conflict of the Spring and Autumn period, the struggle between Wu and Yue, wherein he eventually led his state to victory, annexing the rival. As such, King Goujian is sometimes considered the last of the Five Hegemons.
Ancient, Exiled Asteroid Discovered Beyond Neptune
Ancient, Exiled Asteroid Discovered Beyond Neptune
By Chelsea Gohd, Space.com Staff Writer
Astronomers have spotted a carbon-rich asteroid in the icy region beyond Neptune called the Kuiper Belt — the first such asteroid ever found exiled from the inner solar system.
This asteroid, known as 2004 EW95, likely formed in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter but was soon hurled out into the Kuiper Belt, according to a statement released today (May 9) by the European Southern Observatory (ESO). This ancient, exiled rock from the solar system's primordial days provides unprecedented evidence of what that early time was really like, researchers said in the statement.
The early solar system was far more chaotic than it is today. Theoretical models predict that, during this time, objects were flung from the inner solar system to far-off distant orbits, according to the statement. These theories also dictate that the Kuiper Belt should contain objects like carbon-rich, or C-type, asteroids. [The Asteroid Belt Explained: Space Rocks by the Millions (Infographic)]

Previously, objects that originated in the inner solar system have been found far out in the solar system — discoveries that have supported these theoretical models. But although "there have been previous reports of other 'atypical' Kuiper Belt Object spectra" — indicating the objects were made of substances not normally found in the region — none were confirmed to the level of quality of 2004 EW95, Olivier Hainaut, an ESO astronomer who was not part of the team, said in the statement.
This is the first time that a C-type asteroid has been concretely observed as far as the Kuiper Belt, according to the statement. This finding is some of the best evidence thus far of the theorized early solar system activity.
Wesley Fraser, an astronomer at Queen's University Belfast in the U.K., first noticed the asteroid during routine observations with the Hubble Space Telescope. The exiled asteroid was visible because of its unique reflectance spectrum, a pattern of wavelengths of light reflected from an object. Because the spectrum was not typical for objects observed in this region," it looked enough of a weirdo for us to take a closer look," said Tom Seccull, a researcher at Queen's University Belfast and the lead author of a new paper that explains these findings.
Seccull and his team observed 2004 EW95using the X-Shooter and FORS2 spectrographs on the ESO's VeryLarge Telescope (VLT), and despite the sensitivity of these instruments, the team had great difficulty gathering data from the asteroid. "It's like observing a giant mountain of coal against the pitch-black canvas of the night sky,"co-author Thomas Puzia, a researcher at the Institute of Astrophysics at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, said in the statement.
Despite the challenges of studying the dark, faint, moving object, the team was able to extract sufficient data using an advanced data processing technique, according to the statement.
"The discovery of a carbonaceous asteroid in the Kuiper Belt is a key verification of one of the fundamental predictions of dynamical models of the early Solar System," Hainaut said. This finding is a critical step towards better understanding our early solar system, he added.
ERIC DAVIS, PHYSICIST, EXPLAINS WHY SCIENTISTS WON’T DISCUSS THEIR UFO INTERESTS
ERIC DAVIS, PHYSICIST, EXPLAINS WHY SCIENTISTS WON’T DISCUSS THEIR UFO INTERESTS
For a very long time, the scientific community has been wary of studying UFOs, and the scientists themselves hesitate to talk about their beliefs of unexplained aerial phenomena
But that attitude is changing, and many scientists are joining the discussion without fear of ridicule.
“UFOs are real phenomena. They are artificial objects under intelligent control. They’re definitely the craft of a supremely advanced technology,” says physicist Eric Davis, a researcher of light-speed travel.
Davis, a research physicist at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Austin, studies propulsion physics, which he hopes will one day allow humans to travel easily and quickly through our galactic neighborhood.
VIDEO: Eric Davis explains how humans will be able to travel through space at faster-than-light speed.
He’s aware of the public perception — mostly from skeptics and debunkers — that no legitimate scientists would ever touch the subject of UFOs.
“They’re wrong, naive, stubborn, narrow-minded, afraid and fearful. It’s a dirty word and a forbidden topic. Science is about open-minded inquiry. You shouldn’t be laughing off people. You should show more deference and respect to them … Scientists need to get back to using the scientific method to study things that are unknown and unusual, and the UFO subject is one of them.”
Davis is one of several scientists who are presenting their views this weekend on a variety of UFO-related topics at the 2013 MUFON Symposium in Las Vegas.
The physicist, who recently won an award from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics for his study, “Faster-Than-Light Space Warps, Status and Next Steps,” knows many colleagues who quietly study UFOs.
“There are scientists who are aware of evidence and observational data that is not refutable. It is absolutely corroborated, using forensic techniques and methodology. But they won’t come out and publicize that because they fear it. Not the subject — they fear the backlash from their professional colleagues. The impact on their career might be detrimental and they’d get bad publicity.
“It’s not an acceptable, funded line of research. The National Science Foundation does not accept UFOs as a subject for scientific study.”
It may come as a surprise that many scientists have been interested in UFOs for decades.
For 20 years, astronomer J. Allen Hynek was the U.S. Air Force scientific consultant on UFOs during its famous Project Blue Book UFO study that ended in 1969.
Watch this 1977 video of Hynek talking about astronomers and UFOs.
” Davis believes that the domain for UFO investigations doesn’t really belong in the hands of scientists.
“It’s the domain of military intelligence,” he suggests. “The fact that [unknown] craft are flying around Earth is not a subject for science — it’s a subject for intelligence-gathering, collection and analysis. That’s because UFOs are not a natural phenomenon, and that’s what science studies.”
Breakthrough Listen Launches New Search for E.T. Across Millions of Stars
Breakthrough Listen Launches New Search for E.T. Across Millions of Stars

Breakthrough Listen, a $100 million project designed to seek out potential signals from intelligent extraterrestrial life, took a giant leap forward Monday (May 7) with a new campaign to search for life in the cosmos faster than ever before.
Using the Parkes radio telescope in New South Wales, Australia, Breakthrough Listen will scan millions of stars in the Milky Way's galactic plane over the next 60 days. This will allow researchers to survey a greater area of the galaxy more quickly, which will increase their chances of finding signals of interest.
The Parkes telescope (which is operated by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, or CSIRO) has a new "multibeam" receiverwhich uses 13 beams to observe large pieces of sky, Breakthrough Listen representatives said in a statement. [13 Ways to Search for Intelligent Aliens]
An illustration of 'Oumuamua, our solar system's first observed interstellar visitor. Breakthrough Listen was unable to find evidence of extraterrestrial life aboard the rocky traveler.
"With these new capabilities we are scanning our galaxy in unprecedented detail," Parkes project scientist Danny Price of the University of California, Berkeley, said in the statement." By trawling through these huge datasets for signatures of technological civilizations, we hope to uncover evidence that our planet, among the hundreds of billions in our galaxy, is not the only where intelligent life has arisen."
The Breakthrough Listen initiative was started in 2016 by entrepreneur Yuri Milner and astrophysicist Stephen Hawking (who died in March) to use instruments like the Parkes radio telescope to survey the Milky Way's galactic plane, along with nearby galaxies. The initiative's main goal is to find evidence of intelligent, technologically capable life beyond Earth.
Using radio surveys with instruments like Parkes, scientists aim to distinguish between human-made signals and "signals of interest," or signals whose origins could be extraterrestrial.
The new Parkes campaign will continue Breakthrough Listen's search at a whopping 130 gigabits per second — bandwidth that your laptop could only dream about. In addition to increasing the speed and scope of the search, the new multibeam receiverwill also give scientists the ability to better distinguish between signals of interest and human-made signals, such as radio interference from airplanes, cellphones and satellites.
During the new 60-day campaign, the Parkes telescope will spend 1,500 hours listening for extraterrestrial signals. Scientists will then sift through the resulting mountain of data for any true signals.
Most of the signals observed will be human-created radio frequency interference (RFI), or signals from technologies like cellphones, satellites, and airplanes, but scientists are hoping that within this sea of data lie signals of interest, according to Breakthrough Listen.
Researchers are especially interested in locating fast radio bursts (FRBs). These quick and vibrant radio pulses have intrigued scientists for years, as they are both unusual and certainly extragalactic. FRBs have mysterious, far-off origins — the closest observed FRB was 1.6 billion light-years away. There is no evidence of the alien involvement in FRBs, but they do originate from sources with extremely powerful magnetic fields, according to Breakthrough Listen.

New research suggests that as great land plates began to shift and move on Earth’s surface, our world became what geologists call a Snowball Earth.

About 700 million years ago, the Earth is known to have undergone a period of climate change that sent the planet into a deep freeze. The freeze, lasting millions of years, is what geologists now refer to as the Snowball Earth period. Several theories have been proposed to explain what might have triggered this dramatic cool-down, which occurred during a geological era called the Neoproterozoic. A new study suggests that those major climate changes can be linked to one thing: the advent of plate tectonics.
The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth’s crust and upper mantle – a layer called the lithosphere – is broken into moving pieces, or plates. Today’s scientists measure the movement of these plates and know they move very slowly, about as fast as your fingernails and hair grow. Plate tectonics on Earth – the grinding, slipping and sliding of land plates with respect to each other – produces earthquakes and volcanoes and, over time, great geologic features like mountain ranges.
The study researchers – Robert Stern at the University of Texas/Dallas and Nathaniel Miller of the University of Texas at Austin – said they expect their hypothesis to generate controversy. That’s because geologists usually place the start of plate tectonics at least 3 billion years ago, while their new hypothesis puts the process during the Neoproterozoic, about 542 million to 1 billion years ago.
According to Miller and Stern, there are a variety of traces in the geologic record that could be consistent with plate tectonics not getting started until the Neoproterozoic – around the same time as the era of the Snowball Earth. The researchers examined a suite of published scientific data on the geological activity during the Neoproterozoic and found many links between plate tectonics and a cooling world.
Their study, published in the April 2018 edition of the journal Terra Nova, lists 22 proposed ways plate tectonic activity could have brought about the global cooling that caused the Earth to be covered pole-to-pole with ice. The researchers mention explosive volcanoes cooling the planet by releasing sulfur into the atmosphere; the shifting of the plates changing the planet’s rotational axis; and increased rock weathering pulling CO2 — a greenhouse gas — out of the atmosphere and back into the Earth. Stern said:
This climate crisis could have been caused by a number of proximal causes, but the overall great cause was this revolution in Earth’s tectonic style.
The authors note that the geologic interval preceding the Neoproterozoic shows a lack of geological activity — a feature that has it earned it the nickname the Boring Billion.
In the study, they considered possible non-tectonic reasons for cooling that came from space — in other words, causes that don’t agree with their theory. These range from asteroid impacts to the collapse of ice rings that could have formed around Earth. If these were the cause of Snowball Earth, Stern and Miller’s theory falls apart — but the researchers say there’s not much evidence to support these triggers.
As usual, the authors say, more research is needed to test the link between the dawn of plate tectonics and Snowball Earth. They hope that this research will lead other geoscientists to consider the evidence and test the hypothesis. Stern said:
Revolutions in our field don’t happen often or very easily. You plant ideas and then you go and look for more data that either supports them or refutes them.
During the Snowball Earth phase, our world might have resembled this one, Enceladus, a snow-and-ice-covered moon of Saturn.

Bottom line: A new study suggests that the dawn of plate tectonics could have been responsible for Snowball Earth.
Kilauea is one of the world’s most active volcanoes. Here are images and video from its ongoing eruption in Hawaii.
NASA’s Terra satellite acquired this image on May 6, 2018. Massive sulfur dioxide plumes from Kilauea volcano are shown here in yellow and green. A smaller, but thicker, sulfur dioxide gas plume can be seen coming from Kilauea. The prevailing trade winds blow the plumes to the southwest, out over the ocean.

Lava and sulfur dioxide gas are continuing to spew from Kilauea volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island, where flows of lava across a rural neighborhood have caused evacuations. By late Tuesday (May 8, 2018), some 104 acres were covered by lava. Hawaii Civil Defense said that 35 structures — including at least 26 homes — had been destroyed.
A total of 12 volcanic fissures had formed as of late Tuesday. Residents were voicing frustration and anxiety against a backdrop of flowing lava and hazardous fumes.
Videographer Mick Kalber was on the ground in Leilani Estates on May 5, where he told captured the dramatic video above and told this story:
This is a killer video! And may be one of the last ground level shots I’ll be able to get before I have to evacuate … After all the lava drained out of the Pu’u ‘O’o Vent (the main vent of the 35 year long current eruption) last Monday [April 30, 2018], the contents moved down the East rift zone, causing hundreds of earthquakes as far away as Kapoho, some 15 miles downslope. All week, a new eruption had been forecast … cracks appeared on roadways, as the Earth began to swell. And then, on Thursday afternoon [May 3, 2018], Pele (the Volcano Goddess) made her appearance in the lower part of Leilani Estates Subdivision. At first, fountains of lava shot up into the air … but within a few hours, she had settled down into a lava flow that now threatens dozens of nearby homes, and a geothermal power plant just a quarter mile downslope. That flow has now stopped… but several more continue to pop out nearby. I live in the subdivision, and we are continually experiencing rolling earthquakes … it ain’t over till it’s over!
Meanwhile, the video below, also from Mick Kalber, shows the view from the air:
The eruptive activity began on April 30, 2018, when the floor of Kilauea’s crater began to collapse. Earthquakes followed, including one that measured magnitude +6.9, a very strong earthquake. All the while, lava was being pushed into new underground areas that eventually broke through the ground in such areas as the Leilani Estates (population 1,560 at the 2010 census) near the town of Pahoa, Hawaii.
Evacuations in Leilani Estates began on May 4.
The USGS is doing a good job following the volcano on Twitter.
This video of Halema‘uma‘u lava lake from May 7 shows the agitated lake surface caused by intermittent rock falls. On May 6 the lake level was about 220 m (240 yards) below the crater rim and it continues to drop. #KilaueaErupts#usgs#hvo#hawaiianvolcanoobservatory#kilauea
Kilauea is one of the world’s most active volcanoes, and it’s the youngest and southeastern-most volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island. Eruptive activity along the East Rift Zone has been continuous since 1983.
Bottom line: Images from the May 2018 eruption of Kilauea volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island.
Aliens Or Demons? Pentagon And MoD Officials Feared UFOs Were Works Of The Devil
Aliens Or Demons? Pentagon And MoD Officials Feared UFOs Were Works Of The Devil
So are aliens demons? Are UFOs the result of ‘divine’ forces? According to new claims, Pentagon and MoD officials feared UFOs were either ‘demonic’ or sent by God, former UFO researchers reveal.
Researchers who carried out the UFO programs of the Pentagon and the British Ministry of Defense were hampered by alleged religious beliefs.
Demons, not Aliens?
The United States has—or better said had—a mysterious program dedicated to studying UFO sightings, financed with 22 million dollars per year.
Luis Elizondo, a former member of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), revealed this information a few months ago. Elizondo has now claimed that several high-ranking officials undermined his work in the belief that unidentified flying objects had a ‘demonic’ or ‘divine’ origin.
The purpose of the so-called Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program was to research and study flying foreign weapon threats. Many of the reports included details of pilots, who encountered a number of unidentified flying objects which were also later confirmed on radar.
UFO’s, a divine technology?
“What we found many times was the fact that the aircraft did not belong to anybody,” Elizondo said.
Sometimes, he added, the flying objects displayed behavior the AATIP team couldn’t explain.
Halfway around the world in the UK, Nick Pope, a former UFO investigator for the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defense (MoD), has confirmed what Elizondo said.
“I was aware that Pentagon pushback on UFO research was in part due to the religious belief of some of those involved,” he revealed.
“It was an odd irony that UFO investigations were being hampered because some people’s belief in God meant that they either didn’t believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life or that they regarded UFOs and extraterrestrials as demonic.”
It is not surprising that religion often gets in the way of UFO research.
“Religious people often do not believe in the existence of extraterrestrials or characterize them as demons. This seems to be rooted in Satan’s biblical description as “the prince of the power of the air” (Ephesians 2: 2), “he added.
“Luis Elizondo says he opposed the religious beliefs of the top brass ruining their investigations while working for the Pentagon. I can say that I have seen evidence of the same in the MoD, “he concludes.
Not long ago, a spokesman of the Department of Defense within the Pentagon itself confirmed the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program had shut down in 2012. However, the New York Times has exposed that this work may still be operational in some capacity.
SCIENTISTS MAY HAVE DISCOVERED THE FIRST METEORITE FROM MERCURY
SCIENTISTS MAY HAVE DISCOVERED THE FIRST METEORITE FROM MERCURY
When dynamicists run the numbers, it’s at least statistically possible that meteorites should fall to Earth from all over the inner solar system — even from Mercury.
So, spurred by the Messenger orbiter’s close scrutiny of Mercury’s surface, the hunt has been on to find meteorites from the innermost planet. All previous candidates (called angrites and aubrites) are close but imperfect matches to the unique composition found by Messenger on Mercury’s surface: dark igneous rock enriched in magnesium but virtually free of iron.
Now, finally, they might have one in hand.
Weighing just a bit more than 100 g, this is the largest fragment of the meteorite NWA 7325. Note the amazing light-green color of its fusion crust — one of many characteristics hinting that it might be from the planet Mercury. The cube at right is 1 cm square. Click here for a larger view.

The new Moroccan find is now officially known as Northwest Africa 7325. Ralew sent samples to the laboratory of Anthony Irving (University of Washington), well known for his expertise with unusual meteorites from the Moon, Mars, and elsewhere.Last April, German meteorite dealer Stefan Ralew bought a clutch of 35 small meteorites that had been found a few months earlier in the Moroccan desert. The fragments from a single fall totaled about 12 ounces (354 g). Right away he could see that they were unusual: Their fusion crust, created by flash heating while decelerating in Earth’s atmosphere, was greenish. This was especially evident in the largest, golfball-size piece, weighing just over 100 g. “Green and glassy fusion crusts are known from a few lunar meteorites,” Ralew explains, “but they all don´t have an extreme color as this one.”
The stones’ interiors are full of relatively large and obvious crystals, suggesting that the magma from which they solidified had cooled slowly. The stunning emerald-green color comes from a silicate mineral called diopside that’s infused with chromium. Irving and his team found lots of magnesium and calcium in the suite of silicate minerals, but even more important is what they didn’t find: there’s virtually no iron.
Irving, who’ll present his team’s findings at a planetary-science conference next month, is trying to keep his enthusiasm in check. “NWA 7325 is tantalizing, and certainly more consistent with the Messenger results than either angrites or aubrites,” he explains, “but we need a [spacecraft-returned sample] for ‘ground truth’.”
A polished cut surface of the meteorite NWA 7325 reveals green crystals of the silicate mineral diopside (colored by chromium ions). This meteorite contains abundant magnesium and calcium yet almost no iron — hallmarks of what geochemists believe rocks from Mercury should be like. The cube is 1cm tall. Click here for a larger view. Stefan Ralew / sr-meteorites.de
Shoshana Weider (Carnegie Institution of Washington), who’s spent years studying Messenger’s spectra of Mercury, likewise offers a cautionary note. The planet’s surface seems to be rich in the silicate mineral enstatite, which is not obvious in NWA 7325. Also, there shouldn’t be so much calcium. To explain these discrepancies, she and Irving agree that meteorite might have been a deeply buried rock — well below the surface — before a powerful collision sent it flying off into interplanetary space.
There are still many unknowns about these weirdly green space rocks. Tests are under way to determine how long ago they crystallized and how long they were exposed to cosmic rays as they drifted in space before reaching Earth.
One way to zero in on planetary paternity would be to see if NWA 7325 exhibits remanent magnetism. After all, Mercury has a robust magnetic field that would have been imprinted on any rock as it crystallized. (That said, possible complications might arise from the shock-heating these rocks experienced as they were being ejected into space, or from the strong magnets that Moroccan nomads use when searching for meteorites in the desert.)
A second approach would be to see if the meteorite’s ratios of three magnesium isotopes match what Messenger’s gamma-ray spectrometer is seeing on Mercury. It’s a challenging observation, explains Patrick Peplowski (Applied Physics Laboratory), because the GRS has a magnesium housing. “There does exist the potential to detect different magnesium isotopes, but I expect that the errors on any resulting isotopic ratios would be at the ~5% level,” Peplowski says. “I suspect that this is larger than would be needed to compare to NWA 7325, but I’m not sure.”
(One problem with using magnesium isotopes is that their ratios don’t vary much from place to place in the solar system.)
Finally, researchers could melt one of the NWA 7325 stones and then let it cool and recrystallize under controlled conditions, to see how closely the result mimics Mercury’s surface composition. “A lot of scientists will want to get their hands on this,” Weider notes.
However, anyone wanting a piece big enough to melt down will likely have to get in line. So far Ralew has donated less than 1 ounce of NWA 7325 for scientific analysis, and he’s got the rest. It’s not inconceivable that bits of this unique find could fetch $5,000 per gram on the sometimes-frenzied meteorite market. For now, at least, he’s holding off offering any of it for sale, to give researchers the chance to run the entire gamut of analytical tests.
“If this rock isn’t from Mercury, it’s still amazing,” Irving notes. It’s from a planet, he says — we just need to figure out which one.
ESO/M. KornmesserEen artistieke impressie van de ruimterots 2004 EW95.
WETENSCHAPAan de koude rand van ons zonnestelsel is een bijzonder rotsblok gevonden. De asteroïde is in de beginjaren van ons zonnestelsel gevormd tussen de planeten Mars en Jupiter. Daarna werd hij miljarden kilometers weggeslingerd. Het is de eerste keer dat het bestaan van zo’n soort ruimterots is aangetoond. De rots is een goed voorbeeld van een overblijfsel van onze vroege zonnestelsel.
De rots heeft de wetenschappelijke naam 2004 EW95. Hij staat in de zogeheten Kuipergordel, een verzameling steen- en ijsblokken nog voorbij de planeet Neptunus. Die gordel is vernoemd naar de Nederlandse astronoom Gerard Kuiper. Eigenlijk hoort 2004 EW95 in de Kuipergordel helemaal niet thuis, het rotsblok is de enige koolstofrijke planetoïde in de omgeving.
Het kan dan ook niet anders dat het blok in de planetoïdengordel tussen Mars en Jupiter is ontstaan in de kolkende beginjaren van ons zonnestelsel, en daarna miljarden kilometers is weggeslingerd. Dat gebeurde waarschijnlijk door de zwaartekracht van een rondzwervende planeet.
2004 EW95 is 300 kilometer groot, maar toch is hij heel moeilijk te zien: het oppervlak is pikzwart en hij staat op ongeveer 4 miljard kilometer afstand van de aarde. Hij was al in 2004 ontdekt, maar nu is het pas gelukt om hem goed te bestuderen. De samenstelling van de steen bracht zijn afkomst aan het licht.

VIDEO: Volgens legende liep dit UFO-dorp 40 jaar geleden leeg na reeks zelfmoorden en geestverschijningen. Nu ziet het er pas echt spookachtig uit - HLN.be
Het is geen plaats waar je spontaan vrolijk van wordt, tenzij je van vliegende schotels en verval houdt. San-Zhi in Taiwan is een echt spookdorp geworden nadat de architecturale curiositeit in de jaren tachtig plots verlaten werd. Volgens plaatselijke legendes na een vreemde reeks zelfmoorden en geestverschijningen. Aanleiding genoeg voor enkele Nederlands-Vlaamse urban explorers om erheen te trekken. En dit zijn de beelden waarmee ze terugkwamen.
De bijzondere huisjes werden 40 jaar geleden gebouwd en moesten eigenlijk dienen als luxueuze strandhuisjes met uitzicht op de Oost-Chinese Zee. Ze werden gebouwd door de Finse architect Matti Suuronen in opdracht van een zakenman, die bemiddelde toeristen wilde aantrekken. Toeristen die op zoeken waren naar zon, zee en… een beetje scifi.
Maar toen de jaren tachtig aanbraken, liep het dorpje langzaam leeg. Als gevolg van het extreme weer aan de kust, de dreigende oliecrisis en een gebrek aan investeerders. Maar lokale legendes maakten volgens Liao Minghua van het vlakbijgelegen tourismecentrum van Yehliu ook gewag van een “vreemde reeks zelfmoorden” en geestverschijningen, die de bouwvakkers wegjaagden.
Wat er ook van aan zij, de verhalen droegen bij tot het mysterieuze karakter van het futuristische dorp, waarvan de verlaten resten nu vooral in trek zijn bij avonturiers. De Nederlandse urban explorer Bob Thissen trok er ook heen met zijn team en maakte er beelden. En er bleken in enkele van de huisjes toch nog mensen te wonen. Het volledige filmpje van hun avontuur vind je op het YouTubekanaal van Thissen. Daar zijn ook beelden te zien van andere expedities die hij ondernam, onder meer naar Fukushima en een verlaten loods met Russische ruimteschepen in Baikonur.

Beware ‘Demonic' Aliens: UFO Probes in US, UK Hampered by Religious Fears
Beware ‘Demonic' Aliens: UFO Probes in US, UK Hampered by Religious Fears
Though it was officially announced in 2012 that the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), a secret US Defense Intelligence Agency program that studied UFOs, was shuttered over budget pressures, it has since been revealed that its closure had more to do with senior officials and their religious beliefs.
Speaking with Las Vegas Now on Friday, Luis Elizondo, a former intelligence officer with knowledge on the matter, explained that senior officials pushed back on the secret program over concerns that the study would become an embarrassment for the department and because it conflicted with their religious beliefs.
Elizondo, who previously spoke out about the five-year-old program to the New York Times in December 2017, stressed that though the government's funding ended in 2012, the study continues as officials from the US Navy and the CIA offered resources to further the program. It is speculated that the program is still active, just through private funding.
"There were other folks related to our efforts," Elizondo told Las Vegas Now. "It is a confederated approach so you had folks in the Navy, in DIA [the Defence Intelligence Agency], in pockets here and there. We worked collectively."
But Elizondo isn't the only official spilling the beans on secret government programs investigating UFOs.
Nick Pope, a former UFO investigator with the UK's Ministry of Defense, told the Metro UK that he, too, encountered pushback.
"I was aware that Pentagon pushback on UFO research was in part due to the religious belief of some of those involved," Pope told the outlet. "It was an odd irony that UFO investigations were being hampered because some people's belief in God meant that they either didn't believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life or that they regarded UFOs and extraterrestrials as demonic."
"The fact that some people regard UFOs as demonic seems to have its roots in the biblical description of Satan as being ‘the prince of the power of the air' from Ephesians 2:2. Luis Elizondo says that he came up against religious pushback from senior staff when he ran the Pentagon's UFO program and I saw some evidence of this at the MoD too," Pope added.
Prior to the Metro UK's revelation Tuesday, the Guardian published an article Sunday showing that talks were going on inside the Ministry of Defense regarding the UK's UFO investigations dating back to the late 1990s.
Messages obtained by the publication stated that investigations should focus "on the possible threat to the UK [from foreign hostile powers] and technology acquisition" rather than "X-Files activities such as alien abductions."
Another memo goes on to add that inquiries "shouldn't be driven by a UFO thesis."
David Clarke, a research fellow at Sheffield Hallam University who obtained the files from the ministry following a freedom of information request, told The Guardian that UK officials have only "encouraged conspiracy theorists through their own paranoia."
"They always say that the public gets the wrong idea about UFOs, but they've actually encouraged that themselves by destroying the files," Clarke said, noting that the UK government had destroyed files they'd collected on the topic of UFOs over the years.
After deciding that staff could be better used elsewhere, The Guardian reported that the Ministry of Defense closed its UFO desk in 2009. This was the same reason that US officials cited when revealing that their official investigation into UFOs had concluded.

‘Duivelse’ aliens? Hoe het onderzoek naar UFO’s en buitenaardsen zwaar wordt belemmerd door religieuze angst
‘Duivelse’ aliens? Hoe het onderzoek naar UFO’s en buitenaardsen zwaar wordt belemmerd door religieuze angst
Officieel werd het UFO-onderzoek van de Amerikaanse overheid in 2012 beëindigd wegens budgettaire druk, maar nu blijkt dat dit vooral te maken had met de religieuze overtuigingen van hooggeplaatste functionarissen.
Luis Elizondo, de man die jarenlang aan het hoofd stond van het geheime UFO-onderzoek van het Pentagon, onthulde in een gesprek met Las Vegas Now dat de functionarissen het onderzoek dwarsboomden omdat het in strijd was met hun religieuze overtuigingen.
Ook Nick Pope, die voor het Britse ministerie van Defensie onderzoek deed naar UFO’s, werd naar eigen zeggen tegengewerkt.
Duivels
“Het is ironisch dat UFO-onderzoeken worden belemmerd omdat sommige mensen die in God geloofden niets moesten hebben van buitenaards leven of UFO’s en buitenaardsen zagen als iets duivels,” zei hij tegen de Britse krant Metro.
Zowel Elizondo als Pope werden door hooggeplaatste ambtenaren tegengewerkt omwille van religieuze overtuigingen.
Allesbehalve objectief
The Guardian publiceerde deze week een artikel waaruit blijkt dat een Britse overheidsstudie naar buitenaards leven allesbehalve object gebeurde.
Sterker nog: het doel was vanaf het begin om het ministerie van Defensie vrij te spreken van onderzoeken naar waarnemingen van vliegende schotels.
Het ministerie vernietigde uiteindelijk de documenten waarop het rapport gebaseerd was, wat het vuur voor complottheorieën alleen maar aanwakkerde.
(Natural News) Telling the truth about a scandal that hasn’t been approved by the legacy media and their owners often yields a predictable result: You’ll be labeled a conspiracy theorist — even when there is plenty of evidence to support the truth. Comfortable lies may help some people sleep at night, but the truth is that many supposed “conspiracy theories” are actually real, and are supported by science. Who would have thought? Here are five truths that are widely misrepresented as conspiracy theories, and the evidence which supports them:
1. Atrazine disrupts, damages the endocrine system
Atrazine is on the fast-track to becoming one of the most widely used pesticides in the United States. And because of this, there is a high amount of it in groundwater. It is consistently detected in public water supplies — which in and of itself is really quite concerning. But when the profound potential for this toxic chemical to spur endocrine disruption is taken into account, atrazine becomes downright frightening.
Research led by Dr. Tyrone Hayes, a scientist from the University of California at Berkeley, has shown that in frogs, atrazine is capable of causing lasting endocrine damage. In males, the disruption to endocrine function can be so severe that it results in chemical castration. In one study, Hayes exposed 40 tadpoles to water tainted with atrazine, at a concentration of 2.5 parts per billion — well within the EPA’s allotment for drinking water.
Nearly one-tenth of the tadpoles that were reared in the atrazine-laden water became “functionally female,” according to Hayes. Despite reportedly being born male, they ended up producing eggs.
And as sources report, “After being exposed to atrazine, many of the 36 male-presenting frogs reportedly showed decreased testosterone, reduced breeding gland size, poor laryngeal development, suppressed mating behavior, and reduced fertility. Similar effects have been seen in other amphibious creatures.”
Studies from Purdue University and other esteemed research teams have found similar results regarding atrazine’s potential to disrupt the endocrine system — even at amounts regarded by federal agencies as “safe.” Indeed, it would seem they are emphatically notsafe. Perhaps that’s why Europe banned atrazine. So, why is it still used in the U.S.?
2. Cellphones cause brain tumors
Is this really that far-fetched? That cellphones produce radiation is well established at this point — as is radiation’s connection to cancer. It’s often reported that because cellphones produce a different type of radiation (compared to say, nuclear radiation), it poses no health risk. But numerous scientific studies have said otherwise. Indeed, the risk of cellphone use is widely under-reported.
Recently, research again implicated cellphones as a player in the cancer-causing game: This time, mobile devices were linked to brain and heart tumors. In a study of rats, exposure to radio frequency radiation produced by cellphones led to the onset of a few different types of cancer — including rare Schwann cell tumors in the brain and heart.
At a 2016 conference, one doctor bravely declared that the potential for cellphones to cause cancer was obvious. “The weight of the evidence is clear: Cell phones do cause brain cancer,” stated Dr. Devra Davis, president of the Environmental Health Trust. Children are particularly susceptible to the woes of cellphones, and Davis contended further that pregnant women should be especially careful about their cellphone use and storage. “Keep the phone away from the abdomen — especially toward the end of pregnancy,” she cautioned.
There have been multiple warnings about the threat of cancer posed by cellphones, but many refuse to acknowledge the science that backs it up.
3. Chemtrails and geoengineering are real
Mentioning the word “chemtrails” is a great way to earn the scorn of mainstream media pundits and their ilk. But a quick search of the term “geoengineering” yields a number of results — including a Geoengineering program at University of Oxford. The program page notes that stratospheric aerosols (more commonly known as chemtrails) are one tool of choice in the geoengineering industry.
There are many reports on the facts about geoengineering efforts. While there are many facets to the geoengineering scheme, chemtrails have long been one of the most easily visible tactics — and also the most denied. According to the U.S. government’s own records, aerosol spraying efforts have been underway for decades. Even NASA has reportedly admitted to spraying lithium into the atmosphere. And in 2017, an EPA scientist was fired for sounding the alarm on the dangers of spraying aluminum into the atmosphere.
These efforts may be an attempt at controlling the climate — but as many have warned, geoengineering may come with a hefty price.
The mass fluoridation of the American people is probably one of the greatest shams of all time. First and foremost, there is no evidence to support the claim that fluoride consumption prevents cavities. Fluoride is not an essential nutrient (quite the opposite, really) and it is not necessary for human health in any way, shape or form.
But it’s not just “nonessential,” this compound is actually quite dangerous to human health — especially when it comes to the health of your brain. Nearly 60 studies have reported a link between fluoride consumption and a reduction in IQ.
Water fluoridation has also been linked other health problems, like bone loss, cancer, and negative effects on the immune system, thyroid and pineal gland. Many have likened the fluoridation of public water supplies to mass medication, especially given fluoride’s link to lower IQs in children and other neurological impairments. Even research from Harvard University has shown this potential for harm.
There is no shortage of reasons to end water fluoridation, but mainstream media and their keepers surely don’t want you to know about that.
5. Vaccines contain mercury, aborted fetal cells and other hazardous ingredients
Last but certainly not least is perhaps the most widely contested truth of all: Vaccines are a veritable cocktail of unsavory ingredients. From thimerosal in flu shots to aluminum adjuvants to human diploid cells from fetal tissue, there’s no shortage of things to be disgusted with when it comes to vaccines — or the vaccine industry’s propaganda, for that matter.
Despite media attempts at misinforming the public, the FDA admits that some vaccines still contain thimerosal as a preservative — and some vaccine-makers still use thimerosal as part of their “manufacturing process.”
As the FDA itself notes, thimerosal is 50 percent mercury by weight — and a thimerosal-containing vaccine will deliver a 25-microgram dose of mercury to its recipients that are over the age of three. Children under three get a half-dose, which means they’re still being injected with over 12 micrograms of mercury. This may not sound like a lot, but as Trace Amounts explains — that is more than enough to do harm. A child would have to weigh 550 pounds to safely withstand a 25-microgram dose of mercury. Mercury is a toxic heavy metal with no currently identified safe level of exposure. It does not belong in any vaccine, whether it’s being labeled as “preservative” or a “manufacturing process” agent.
Mike Adams, founder of Natural News and Director of CWC Labs, has repeatedly broken stories about the presence of other detestable vaccine ingredients. In 2017, the Health Ranger revealed that the chicken pox vaccine was made with human embryonic lung cell cultures and human diploid cell cultures, among other crazy things like guinea pig cells — information he pulled from the CDC’s own website.
Sadly, the list of scandalous ingredients in vaccines doesn’t end there; there are many parts to a vaccine cocktail, and none of them sound like anything you’d want injected into your body.
