    2018 Crop Circle in Cerne Abbas, Dorset UK

    This new crop circle is reported at Buckland Down, near Cerne Abbas, Dorset, UK on May 26, 2018.


    Analyze of the crop circle via Crop Circle Connector: Here we have a crop circle in star model (octagonal), which resembles a Compass Rosen related to the lunar phases. It seems to evoke the concept of time and position together.

    A model of position system and counting of months (lunar phases) with the Earth at the centre and the positions of the Moon in the alignments with the Sun at the edges.

    The eight rays associate this model with the Compass Rosen.

    There are also moon goddess symbols made up of four crescent moons, as shown in the crop circle.

    ANCIENT ALIENS—THE EVIDENCE: PART 1

    Ancient Aliens—The Evidence: part one

    Stone blocks modern aircraft carrying millions of people each day around the world And space shuttles sending humans to the stars.

    But are these examples of modern technology, or is there evidence that these incredible achievements existed on earth thousands of years ago? You begin to have to ask yourself, are we missing part of the story? Could ancient man have possessed knowledge far beyond that of our own century?

    And if so, where did it come from? I think that people in ancient times were visited by beings coming not from this earth, and they gave us scientific technologies.

    It becomes ever more apparent that the possible answer of “Have aliens visited in the past?” could be a potential yes.

    Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings.

    What if it were true? Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history? And if so, what if there were clues left behind, sometimes hiding in plain sight? What if we could find the evidence?

    The Saqqara Bird is a bird-shaped artifact made of sycamore wood, discovered during the 1898 excavation of the Pa-di-Imen tomb in Saqqara, Egypt.

    Saqqara, Egypt.

    Located roughly 20 miles south of Cairo, it is home to the world-famous step pyramid of King Djoser.

    Dating back more than 4,000 years, it is the oldest of Egypt’s 97 pyramids.

    Saqqara is also famous for being one of Egypt’s oldest burial grounds, earning it the nickname City of the Dead.

    It was here, in 1891, that French archeologists unearthed an ancient tomb containing the burial remains of Pa-di-Imen, an official from the third century BC.

    Among the various items discovered was a small wooden model of what appeared to be a bird, lying beside a papyrus bearing the inscription: I want to fly.

    The artifact was later sent to the Cairo Museum, where authorities placed it alongside several other bird figurines.

    The model sat largely unnoticed, until 1969, when Egyptologist Dr. Kahlil Messiha was examining the bird collection and noticed that there was something very different about the Saqqara bird.

    It’s interesting because on one hand, clearly, it should look like a bird because it has eyes and has a typical nose of a bird.

    On the other hand, the wings are clearly not bird wings.

    To the middle of the rim, you see this wing a bit thicker.

    In this region, the lift-up is the highest.

    The whole thing becomes thinner to the end of the wings. And those wings, model down. And this is a very modern aerodynamic design. Then the other point is, birds have no rudders. Because a bird does not need a rudder because of its aerodynamic architecture. And so, there is the idea they are not representing birds, but flying machines, or aircraft.

    Could the ancient Egyptians have possessed the power of flight?

    In 2006, aviation and aerodynamics expert Simon Sanderson built a scale model of the Saqqara bird five times larger than the original to test that possibility.

    We’re running at a constant speed, slowly increasing the angle of attack, and then measuring the forces which it’s producing.

    That way, we can learn about its flight characteristics. At ten degrees, we’re producing four times weight and lift. So, it actually would be flying now. That’s good. The test shows the Saqqara bird is a highly developed glider. And this is the design we use today.

    During the Sanderson test, it was discovered that the only thing preventing the Saqqara bird from achieving flight was the lack of a rear stabilizing rudder, or elevator, needed to maintain balance.

    Is it possible that the Saqqara bird ever possessed this critical component? What is missing is something like an elevator, but if you look at this feature here, then we may interpret that something like an elevator was connected here, but was lost during history.

    Computer models seem to confirm that the Saqqara bird is certainly airworthy.

    But there is another problem to consider: launching a glider.

    Modern methods require the use of a towplane that pulls the glider into the air, then releases it when a proper altitude is reached.

    So, how might the ancient Egyptians have launched the Saqqara bird? The scientists of Egyptology told us that such a bird could be powered off by catapults to fly.

    And, we had high acceptance by Egyptian scientists.

    The idea of using a catapult does have a contemporary parallel.

    Many of today’s glider enthusiasts employ a bungee cord system to launch their sail craft into the air. But if the Saqqara bird is capable of flight, where would ancient Egyptians have acquired such technology? I think that people in ancient times were visited by beings coming not from this earth, and they gave us culture and scientific technologies to improve our life on earth coming from the primitive to a higher developed culture.

    If ancient cultures would be able to produce any really flyable machine, they would be far more advanced than we believe today.

    It changes our view of ancient societies.

    It’s a fact that our ancestors were more intelligent and had more technological superiority capabilities than our history books give them credit for.

    You begin to have to ask yourself, “Are we missing part of the story?” And honestly, I think we are.

    I think there has been a forgotten episode in human history.

    And, we’re a species with amnesia.

    We don’t really remember who or what we are.

    I haven’t been convinced that there is evidence that supports an ancient visitation, but there is no reason why not, and I think to shut oneself to that possibility is a mistake, mainly because there is so many anomalies that we can’t explain.

    The dense jungles and rugged mountains of Colombia contain a vast number of archaeological sites.

    Many treasure hunters believed the legendary City of Gold, El Dorado, lies hidden here somewhere under a thick canopy of trees.

    While the mythical metropolis has never been found, early in the 20th century, tomb-robbers searching along the Magdalena River stumbled upon a gravesite dating back 1,500 years to a pre-Colombian civilization known as the Tolima.

    Among the funerary objects found there were hundreds of small two- to three-inch gold figurines.

    Many of those looked like insects and fish.

    However, out of those hundreds that they found, they also found about a dozen that are eerily reminiscent of modern-day fighter jets.

    They have a triangular shape.

    They have an upright tailfin, stabilizers, and a fuselage.

    And they have nothing in common with anything similar in nature.

    Could these gold objects really be proof that earth has been visited by ancient aliens? One of the objects shows a typical swept wings like with a modern aircraft.

    And you compare it to something like a space shuttle.

    You see that the basic wing shape is very similar to wing shapes for high-speed aerodynamic bodies like a space shuttle is.

    There is not a single insect in the world which has got its wings at the bottom.

    Now, when you exclude the possibility that it’s an insect, one of the things which remain is the fact that this is actually, yes, what it looks like: a plane.

    In 1997, German aviation experts including Algund Eenboom and Peter Belting set out to prove the speculation by building a scale-model replica of the gold flyer, fully equipped with landing gear and a working engine.

    It was rather simple because we don’t need to put many parts to this shape because this shape is perfect.

    Everything was already done by the native people 2,000 years ago. They did not add an inch or remove an inch. They just essentially blew the little thing into a larger size. I mean, this is sensational that pre-Colombian culture knew about aerodynamics. Once completed, the remote controlled flyer took off down a makeshift runway and flew. When you see this thing taking off, you really feel that this is the real deal.

    It was a very successful test and showed us how perfect ancient people were working out aerodynamic design.

    What it shows you that there must be something happened. We are not quite sure how it did, but that it did. This is applied science. This isn’t just thinking somewhere. This is people going out there and making sure and proving, what I still see, anybody can see this, that this is real.

    This is genuine. This little thing, which sits in a museum, could fly. So we have two examples from opposite sides of the planet, and both examples are aerodynamically sound and they fly.

    So, to suggest that all of this is coincidence I mean, after a while, even coincidence no longer makes sense. Could the ancients have seen actual entities, like ancient gods, ancient astronauts actually flying around in what amounted to modern aircraft? The answer to these questions may be found in ancient documents that describe flight patterns, aircraft specs, and even aerial battles in remarkable detail.

    Over the past 50 years, NASA has sent astronauts into space inside large rockets. This method has been described by some as simply “putting a man on a large firecracker and lighting the fuse.

    Man’s ability to travel farther into space would require more advanced propulsion systems and several are being researched by NASA. There are a wide variety of advanced propulsion technologies that are being actively developed and studied by NASA and other researchers.

    A really exotic version of that is to use a launch-assist catapult, use technology derived from the magnetic levitation trains to build a maglev sled.

    It carries your rocket, gets it up to about Mach 1, and then launches the rocket from it.

    While these futuristic propulsion systems seem like something out of science fiction, ancient alien theorists believe past civilizations possessed these same advanced technologies.

    They point to a number of cultural myths that describe sky people coming to Earth in fire-breathing dragons or metallic-looking machines as proof of extraterrestrial visitation.

    In my mind, legends and myths are based on something real.

    And while they’ve been “mythified” and exaggerated in many cases, in my mind, some core of truth here in that people really were flying in airships in ancient times just like we do today.

    But might these ancient airships have reached Earth using the same type of propulsion systems we use today? The answer may be found deep in the Indian subcontinent.

    Visiting India and its rich history

    Were the ancient vimana really powerful ancient alien spaceships?

    One billion people crowd its modern cities and rural townships, speaking hundreds of languages, and practicing a number of different religions.

    India is considered one of the oldest civilizations with settlements dating back over 11,000 years.

    It is also home to several of the oldest records of ancient technologies.

    Ancient Sanskrit text dating back as far as 6000 BC, describing varying but vivid detail of flying machines called “vimanas.

    Vimanas are airplanes, and they are powered by some jet engines.

    This seems to be true because all the description of the flight behavior “elephants ran away in panic.

    The grass was thrown out because there was a lot of pressure from behind those vimanas.

    So that we can say this is a description of the spaceship.

    Although mainstream historians believe the vimana texts are myths, many of the documents contain passages that seem to describe modern machinery and technology.

    The Vymaanika-Shaastra goes into metals that are used in these crafts.

    It talks about electricity and power sources. It talks about the pilots and the clothing they have to wear. It talks about the food that they eat. It talks even about the weapons that are kept on these airships.

    The flight menus of the vimanas are quite similar to the flight menus you find in the modern passenger flight business. Or when you go to the military jet engines, of course, they have also flight menus because it’s necessary for a pilot to get knowledge about his plane he wanted to fly with.

    We also learned that these vimanas could be controlled mentally.

    And this is a technology that modern militaries are beginning to develop.

    Even today, with as advanced as we think we are, almost every manifestation of an actual extraterrestrial civilization today would look almost like magic to us where it has to do with technological electromagnetic systems that interface with coherent thought and organized thought.

    And this gets into people go, now, you’re losing me here.

    But I tell people, I say, “Yeah, well, you gotta push your boundaries a little bit if you’re talking about a true “interstellar civilization.

    The Vymaanika-Shaastra, or Science of Aeronautics, indicates vimanas used a propulsion system based on a combination of gyroscopes, electricity, and mercury.

    Is this possible? Mercury is an unusual element. Mercury is metal. It’s also a liquid, and, uh, is a conductor of electricity. You know, there are unusual things you can do with mercury. You can put it into a closed gyroscopic device with mercury spinning around, and then you can electrify it.

    Studies have been done on this by NASA and by other scientists, and they find that you have levitation effects, antigravity kind of effects, and a spinning bright light is part of it, too.

    The Vymaanika-Shaastra suggests vimanas were powered by several gyroscopes placed inside a sealed liquid mercury vortex.

    Here’s an example of a little kid’s gyroscope. You spin it with a heavy wheel around a central axis. Well, a gyroscope seems to do a lot of strange things, even defy gravity.

    And it does this because it uses what’s called rotational, or angular, momentum. And it wants to keep a particular orientation on its spin axis, the center rod. If you push on that rod, it will want to “righten” itself up to its original orientation.

    It wants to keep that same angular momentum. Gyroscopes are used all over the place: in airplanes, in spacecraft, in submarines. This allows them to determine their position based on where they started. They can also use it for finding their velocity or even just the orientation of the vehicle in space.

    One of the texts talks about mercury rotating and driving some sort of a powerful wind, or a windmill effect. That might be some sort of what we call a “flywheel energy storage” where you have a spinning disc, and then you extract energy from it slowly.

    That would be the mercury. And then that could be used to drive some sort of a propeller or what we’d call a ducted fan sort of system like you have in a hovercraft.

    Mercury would be quite good for that because it’s a high density, so you’d have a small package for your power plant, and that’s always good when you’re building an aircraft.

    Flywheel energy storage systems, however, tend to lose power quickly.

    To navigate across space, its size would have to be enormous. They’re fine for use by power companies for load-leveling. You put energy in when you don’t need it.

    You get energy out when you need it. But they’re sitting on the ground. To have something light enough to actually fly, it’s not at all clear that this will be a practical device. Now, maybe the people are trying to describe something that kind of looked like this to them.

    It might not have actually been mercury. It might have been some other liquid metal. The mercury vortex engine is perhaps a failure in the translation because the vortex is not material quite suitable to a jet engine.

    The issue of how are these civilizations traveling faster than the speed of light is a fundamental question. It’s a scientific application of things that have been studied for thousands of years and they’re within the Vadas, the ancient Vedic teachings or other ancient teachings– and it is there.

    But if vimanas existed, could this prove there was a worldwide transportation network thousands of years before Columbus? The answer might be found on a mountaintop outside Mexico City.

    In the 21st century, modern transportation and communication methods have connected the world like never before. Products or ideas, no matter where in the world they may have originated, can spread to even the most remote countries.

    A hip-hop hit in Brooklyn might make it big in Tokyo before it’s even heard in Manhattan. This cultural interconnection has transformed the globe, but is it new? Mainstream archaeologists believe ancient civilizations such as those found in the remote Pacific Islands, Asia, and South America developed independently from each other.

    But ancient astronaut theorists contend that similarities in building styles and beliefs found in these cultures suggest that a worldwide trade route may have connected them to each other.

    But just like we have airports today around the world, in ancient times with the vimanas, there would have been hangars for the craft, airports for them to land.

    And those airports would have been situated in strategic places around the world. And that’s exactly what we see in remote places. Could the complex set of lines covering Peru’s Nazca plain or the mysterious plateau above Mexico’s Oaxaca Valley be evidence of runways for worldwide air transportation system.

    One of the unusual archaeological sites in Mexico is a place called Monte Alban. That is also a mountain where the top of the mountain was completely cut off and leveled to make a very flat tabletop mountain.

    And there’s a megalithic city there, too, that’s extremely old. This was probably some kind of vimana airport. The vimanas could be kind of missing link between the single cultures in the world because they had just a very short time to flow from one part of the world to the other.

    Legends of air travel are also found in ancient Africa and the Middle East.

    According to The Kebra Nagast, a holy book of the Ethiopians written sometime between the fifth and second century AD, the queen of Sheba was once given a gift of a flying carpet by King Solomon of Israel.

    The Kebra Nagast is one of the most important texts you’ve never heard of.

    The Kebra Nagast means The Book of Kings and it is the most sacred book of the Ethiopians.

    In it, King Solomon is described as having access to some type of a flying machine.

    And in that part of the world, the term “flying carpet” was always used very liberally.

    My question is, did they really mean actual flying carpets or was it another term with which to describe some type of a flying machine? This was the original Chariots of the Gods that Erich von Daniken talked about– the flying magic carpets of the Arabian Nights stories.

    There are traditions in the Middle East of King Solomon having this airship and flying to different places in the Middle East, certain mountains which are known as the Mountains of Solomon.

    These may have been certain airports or landing areas for these vimanas.

    Nicholas Rourke, famous Russian-American explorer who traveled all through central Asia and Tibet in the 1920s, he too claimed that Tibetans had traditions of King Solomon flying to Tibet in this aircraft.

    The Kebra Nagast also describes how King Solomon used his flying airship to make maps of the world.

    But could these have any relation to other ancient maps some believe may have been made by extraterrestrials? Some of these maps show the world not as it looks today, but as it looked during the last ice age.

    And this is really hard to explain.

    Everybody’s heard of the Piri Reis map, but they’ve perhaps not heard of the Orontius Finnaeus map or-or the Mercator maps that show Antarctica in great detail hundreds of years before Antarctica was even discovered.

    One of the most referenced stories of ancient aircraft is found in a surprising place: the Bible.

    In the Book of Ezekiel, the prophet describes a flying chariot containing wheels within wheels and powered by angels.

    Although Bible historians suggest Ezekiel was speaking symbolically about the terrifying enemies facing Israel, could this be another example of an alien visitation and proof that prehistoric aircraft existed? In the story of Ezekiel’s throne chariot, this flying vehicle that doesn’t seem to have any means of propulsion, if we thought of the word “angel” as representing something like celestial energy, it sounds much more like a spacecraft then because some of the angels are going back and forth.

    Well, that sounds like flames.

    That sounds like propulsion.

    Some of them are wheel-like.

    Well, those sound like flying saucers.

    Our ancestors weren’t idiots.

    Ezekiel saw something that was so frightening to him that he fell to his knees.

    Then, out of the glory of God, came this being in these bright clothes that looked like metal, and told Ezekiel, All right, man, we brought you here. We want you to measure this monument, this building. And Ezekiel asks, well, why should I do this? And the being says, that’s why we brought you here.

    And then you have 40 pages, in the second part of the Book of Ezekiel, with measurement after measurement after measurement of this gigantic building, in which, by the way, the glory of the Lord landed.

    In the early 1970s, NASA scientist Joseph Blumrich set out to disprove the theory that what Ezekiel witnessed was a spaceship.

    Joseph Blumrich is your proverbial rocket scientist. He worked on the moon project for NASA and, from the mind of a rocket engineer, started to look at what was written in the first part of the Book of Ezekiel.

    And after many months of research, Joseph Blumrich came to the conclusion that what Ezekiel described in his eyewitness report, it was indeed a type of spacecraft.

    Joseph Blumrich would go on to write The Spaceships of Ezekiel.

    Several years later, a German structural engineer named Hans Herbert Beier sketched out a blueprint of the second section of the Book of Ezekiel, where Ezekiel is told to construct an open-topped building to house the flying chariot.

    Ezekiel’s spaceship fits exactly into the temple that Hans Herbert Beier recreated.

    So what we have here is a proof by indication. Here we have a NASA engineer and a structural engineer– they didn’t know of each other’s work– and both pieces fit together like a puzzle. In any court of law, that’s evidence that would hold up.

    I think that scientists feel uncomfortable with the notion of the lost civilization precisely because the evidence for it is so ambiguous. It’s not so in your face that it’s immediately obvious.

    Uh, and, you know, the result is that science has not welcomed this idea. It’ll take much more evidence before it’s widely accepted.

    The god that I believe in doesn’t need a vehicle in which to move around from point A to point B. Whatever was described in the Old Testament wasn’t God, it was a misunderstood flesh-and- blood extraterrestrial whom our ancestors misinterpreted as being divine and supernatural.

    And why? Because of misunderstood technology. And that is the underlying thread that applies to all of the ancient astronaut theory.

    But while ancient texts provide tantalizing clues to our past, physical evidence paints an even clearer picture. But will modern science finally prove the ancient astronaut theory? Did the ancient civilizations of Earth have access to advanced technology? Well, it seems like they had something going on.

    In today’s largest construction sites and quarries, huge mega-machines are used to dig, cut, and lift stones.

    These man-made creatures dwarf their creators and perform the work of thousands of men using modern hydraulic technologies.

    Without such equipment, builders could never construct modern skyscrapers. Yet, thousands of years ago, ancient civilizations were accomplishing the same work while constructing their monuments and temples using massive stones.

    These enormous blocks– many weighing in excess of 100 tons– would be a challenge even for today’s engineers. Yet thousands of years ago, people cut them out of solid rock, transported them for miles and then lifted them precisely into place.

    But how? Did they cut these massive stone blocks with hammers, chisels, and copper wire, as mainstream archeologists suggest? Could they have lifted and transported them without a pulley system or the wheel? Or did ancient civilizations possess advanced technologies that have since been lost to science? At Giza, you just don’t have the pyramids.

    Linked to the pyramids are what Egyptologists call valley temples.

    It doesn’t take a rocket engineer that when you go there, there’s something not quite right here.

    Whereas the pyramids are built with blocks of two to three tons, these temples, which are minute compared to the pyramids, are built with blocks of 100 tons and some of them Let me tell you what a 100-ton block is.

    If you take a 100 family cars and you squeeze them together you get one of these blocks.

    First of all, let alone how they move these blocks is why would they want to use 100-ton blocks? It simply doesn’t make sense.

    There’s no reason for them to want to build out of granite blocks the size of a semi truck.

    It’s like, okay, let’s do something, but let’s do it as difficult as we could possibly do it.

    The reason why I am convinced that sophisticated technology was utilized in these ancient rocks is that, if we go to a stone quarry today and look at the scope of machinery required to accomplish similar things, those machines are huge.

    Subscribers to ancient alien theory do not believe extraterrestrials built these amazing monuments, but instead provided some type of technological know-how or tools to our ancestors.

    Engineering expert Chris Dunn has spent several decades researching the construction tools used by the ancient Egyptians.

    We’re normally taught by Egyptologists, that the ancient Egyptians had simple tools.

    They went to work every day using stone balls, copper chisels or copper tube and sand to grind holes in diorite and granite, extremely hard rock.

    And what I have actually gathered over the years is information that seems to actually argue against that notion that they had simple tools.

    In Egypt, Dunn was able to examine ancient sites firsthand.

    What he found has proved to be both revolutionary and controversial.

    If you look at the Giza Plateau and all the stones that they actually placed in the Great Pyramid and the Khafre Pyramid and Menkaura’s Pyramid, two and a half million blocks of stone in the Great Pyramid alone.

    They had to have had some efficient means of cutting them to size and putting them into place.

    They had to have had somebody on site who is saying, “Okay, I need a block this size,” and then getting a block to them that size stat, like immediately.

    While searching several miles north of Giza, at Abu Rawash, Dunn stumbled upon a clue when he spotted a granite block containing a deep cut.

    When I first saw it, I just didn’t know what to make of it.

    And it was only after puzzling over it for days, and sometimes waking up at 3:00 in the morning scratching my head and thinking, well, how did they make this cut? And finally, to realize that the only way that they could have actually cut that thing was with a saw that was 35 feet in diameter.

    The idea that ancient Egyptians used giant saws provoked much resistance from mainstream archeologists.

    Dunn however, was convinced. As an ex-machinist, I look for tool marks. I look for them everywhere I go. And I could be accused of, well, you know, if you’re going to look for something, you’re probably going to find it because you’reooking at it through a certain filter. Accepted, I agree.

    But the question is, why is it there? Clearly, to me, that is a machine mark. But there were no machines back then. So what do I do? I just go looking for more machine marks. And they’re all over the place. You find them on statues.

    You find them, particularly in the Luxor Museum. There seems to be an impression on the side of Amon’s buttock where it meets the bench, where there is an undercut. It was the slip of a tool. And therefore, it must have been a tool that was quite efficient. Dunn also believes that the large depressions in the ground at Giza are not boat pits as is claimed by mainstream archeologists, but were actually used to hold the 35-foot saws.

    Dunn speculates that they were actually saw pits. The saws were mounted in these pits, and that they ran the blocks through the saw before they put them in the Great Pyramid. Another mystery involves how mega-stones were lifted up and placed into a precise position.

    What you find in modern construction is that to build big buildings, you need to build big instruments which help build these big buildings. And that is something which archeology has never addressed. The three largest man-made stones in the world are found at the Temple of Jupiter at Baalbek in Lebanon.

    Each weighs an estimated 1,000 tons– or two million pounds. A nearby quarry contains an even bigger stone, known as the Stone of the Pregnant Woman. This giant rectangular block weighs an incredible 1,200 tons. To move it today would take the strength of 21 heavy-lift cranes. Being in the construction industry, if a certain project is being constructed somewhere, particularly in mountainous areas, how would we carry this machinery, these cranes, and all that? They are so heavy that it’s virtually impossible to take them to the site. This stone came off a project in Palm Springs, where they had one of the largest excavators they could rent.

    They had trouble loading it into the truck. It’s well in excess of five tons– 10,000 pounds– small in megalithic terms, but basically what we can handle with modern machinery.

    We’re supposed to accept that the people who built the pyramids did not have the wheel, did not have the pulley, did not have iron.

    In fact, they had nothing but brutal manpower and pieces of strings.

    The comtext does not fit the evidence.

    Thousands of people involved in the various stages of the project, moving very fragile pieces of stone that weigh hundreds, if not thousands, of tons.

    Yes, you can use ropes, but you’re going to have to use other mechanical advantages.

    But if ancient civilizations did not possess the modern mechanical equipment, how did they move and lift mega-ton stones? Some believe they were given a technical advantage from extraterrestrial visitors.

    You’ve got to ask yourself, why would they try and do something that seems so incredibly difficult? The answer to why they would do that has to be that it somehow wasn’t so difficult for them.

    It was easy. There exists one very concise description of how these massive stones were transported from the quarry to the building site.

    The master builders had the capability of putting some type of a white substance– paper-like substance onto the stones and they rode on it, and then they basically gave the stone block a push and it moved by six feet as if by magic.

    Now did that thing really move by magic? No, some technology was used. That is part of the solution. In order to really move massive amounts of stone like that, they would have had to have been levitated– somehow made weightless– and then just moved through the air by some kind of device, perhaps even a handheld kind of device, like some beam weapon.

    Ancient Aliens—The Evidence: Part 2

    Click here to read part one.

    Ancient man’s method of moving large blocks is only one mystery. Another surrounds the techniques of their stonemasons. How did prehistoric civilizations cut such intricately designed patterns in solid granite?

    In Palm Springs California, master stonemason and sculptor Roger Hopkins uses a variety of advanced tools to cut and shape hard stones. Powered implements such as diamond-tipped wires and polishers enable him to fashion works of art out of huge granite blocks obtained from nearby quarries.

    Yet even with these high-tech tools, Hopkins cannot replicate what ancient civilizations accomplished thousands of years ago. Could these advanced engineering methods be the smoking gun that proves humans had help from alien beings? The precision on some of the work that I’ve seen is just incredible.

    It’s possible to do by hand, but it would take an incredible amount of time. Plus, you have to have years of experience to be able to pull it off. In my opinion, the most tangible pieces of evidence that we have regarding possible extraterrestrial technology is when we look at the ancient stone-cutting techniques. Because in some instances, we ourselves today could not replicate what our ancestors allegedly accomplished with stone masonry.

    Puma Punku is a large temple complex located on a high plateau in Bolivia. Mainstream archaeologists date the site from approximately The people who lived here had neither a written language nor the wheel, yet somehow they built one of the world’s most complex structures. Ancient alien theorists view Puma Punku as clear proof of extraterrestrial influence. The ruins we find at Puma Punku are simply extraordinary.

    Puma Punku defies logic.

    The interest of Puma Punku is not so much that the individual stones sorted together perfectly, but the fact that the stones, as such, are of such tremendous design that it requires concepts of mathematics which are far beyond anything we are actually using right now.

    Yet somehow in the past, somebody has made that for a specific purpose, and in a way which even computer programs today would kind of go, how is this possible? In the highlands of Bolivia, Puma Punku– some of these blocks are over What can you tell us about this? Boy, they had their stone-cutting abilities pretty well fine-tuned for 5,000 years old. I mean, it’s almost unbelievable.

    But these cutting planes that they have on here are very impressive. And some of the incised cuts– see, like in here, all these interior cuts– very hard to do.

    I mean, it would be difficult for us with our equipment to get that kind of precision. The inside boxes are a hell of a piece of work.

    I mean, if we were to do something like that today, we’d use– what they have, these computer-driven CNC machines which have diamond tips.

    And you have a template that, you know, the computer follows. Even then, it may not come out as perfect.

    Because even though you can tell that obviously, this piece broke off. Nowhere in here can you see any imperfection. When you’re there, if you go with your finger over these edges, and you put a little pressure on your fingertip, you can cut yourself. This is how sharp the edges are. But where could the ancient peoples have developed such technology? Is it really possible that extraterrestrial visitors provided different construction methods and tools? When I saw these blocks, I didn’t really think that they were cut.

    Image Credit

    The first thing really that I thought of was this appears very similar to Frank Lloyd Wright’s textile block system of construction, which he used in his California houses in the early 1920’s. Now what he did was– he took concrete, poured it into molds.

    There actually are ancient Incan legends that suggest that they had the capability of softening the stone. At Sacsayhuaman, for example, we find these gigantic stone blocks, gigantic stone walls, where it looks as if those stones were molten, put into place, and then the stone hardened again.

    Several hundred miles north of Puma Punku, Machu Picchu sits high atop the Peruvian Andes. Built by the Incas in the 15th century, this stone citadel was suddenly abandoned about 100 years later.

    Like Puma Punku, Machu Picchu also has signs of advanced engineering and possibly, molded stones. I can’t help but think that whoever was behind this thought the process through from beginning to end.

    They didn’t quarry the rock, and then decide, “How the heck are we gonna transport this?” They knew from beginning to end what needed to be done with whatever techniques and technology they were going to use, so that this was no big deal.

    In industry today, there’s a kind of an adage: Keep it simple, stupid. Based on his experience, Mike Dunn believes the simplest way to build the great walls of Machu Picchu would have been to transport small rocks to the site, then melt them, and use molds to fashion exact size and shape needed.

    That would solve a lot of difficulties of constructing this wall. First, you have your shapes, all the same size, each shape. So you’re guaranteed that they would fit together as opposed to being cut by different artisans.

    Melting the rocks, and then pouring them into place would take and an incredible amount of heat just to spool off pieces of stone. I have a stone torch which I use for sometimes shaping granite. And, I mean, it generates a temperature of in excess of When we look back at the ancients, and we see a technology that they couldn’t possibly know, there’s only two possibilities then: either God did it– which we really don’t think happened– or some high-tech civilization from another planet came and showed them how to do it, then took their materials and tools and went back home.

    The idea behind that is that none of these ancient monuments were constructed or manufactured by extraterrestrials.

    It was us humans who built it with extraterrestrial technology. It’s entirely possible that there were visitations, that they pointed out ways to do things, and that they wanted to leave some kind of a record.

    I mean, if you’re gonna leave a permanent record, the only way you can do that is in stone. But if advanced beings from another planet really did bring their technology to Earth, might the ancient astronauts have left one of their tools behind? The methods used to build huge megalithic structures such as Puma Punku and the pyramids of Egypt remain a mystery.

    But what about the tools used to build them? Where are they? And might they provide a clue as to how these enormous stone structures were created? A lot of the real ancient mysterious work was done at a time when there was no steel, and the copper they had was, yeah, they could harden it by cold-hammering it, but still, it wouldn’t make a dent in rocks like basalt and granite.

    So they would have had to use, you know, much more laborious techniques othey had some sort of advanced technology which escapes me, and I’ve been in the business 40 years.

    The tools and machines must have been equal to the task of actually building the pyramids, crafting those statues to such a high order of precision crafting those boxes to a modern-day precision that you find in our inspection lab.

    And the big question: Where are the tools? In the late 19th century, British archaeologist Sir Flinders Petrie scoured Egypt, looking not for the biggest items, but the smallest. Petrie was absolutely fascinated by the technical achievements of the Egyptians, particularly the early Egyptians. He constantly was looking for how they made things, how they developed things, how they continued to sort of basically perfect their tools.

    We’re normally taught that the ancient Egyptians had simple tools, and what Petrie brought out is information that seems to actually argue against that notion. This is an example of a drill hole. You can see the very fine lines on it. You can see the technology that’s made to use it. You can see how it’s a perfect hole almost all the way through, but it tapers at one end. This is a fragment of a diorite bowl.

    It’s one of the hardest substances, and you can see on this, on this fragment that there’s a, a lathe mark, which is really interesting that they managed to make such a mark in such a hard material.

    Among all the tools discovered by Petrie, however, one stood out from all the rest. While working inside the Great Pyramid, Petrie stumbled across a tubular drill made of granite. Tubular drills amongst the ancient Egyptians were actually fairly common. I mean, Petrie found quite a few of them.

    The interesting thing about the one that he found in Giza is that it’s such hard stone that was so carefully carved, precisely grooved. As you can see, it’s got very, very fine markings on it, basically lines, literally a couple of millimeters apart.

    You can see it goes all the way round very, very accurately, hardly any waves at all. He was absolutely amazed by this. He kept returning to it throughout his life. His theory was that the Egyptians must have had access to diamonds or some kind of jewel that would have cut it. The interesting thing about Petrie’s theory about how these drill lines are made was that he never discovered any diamonds in ancient Egypt.

    So where were they? Where did they go? We don’t know.

    If the ancient Egyptians didn’t possess diamonds, how were the precision grooves cut onto the granite drill? Did Petrie accidentally discover a tool made by extraterrestrials? Machinist expert Chris Dunn attempted to answer this question by creating his own granite drill using the known tools and techniques of the ancient Egyptians.

    In order to test the Egyptologist theory about how the ancient Egyptians drilled into granite, I took a tube and I fixed a crank on it, and actually used sand and silicon carbide, and after many hours of turning and drilling into this piece of granite, finally got deep enough that I could actually pop a core out.

    And the reason for that was to actually look at the surface, not just of the whole, but of the core.

    The next step was to use a high-tech industrial microscope to compare his drill core to a latex copy of the one at the Petrie Museum.

    We have under the microscope the core that we drilled with the copper tube and sand.

    And as you can see, the surface of the core, the striations are not very clear.

    There’s nothing really distinctive in terms of the feed of the tool marks using sand and, and copper.

    Now bring in the latex that they took of the core in the Petrie Museum, and we see something totally different.

    The striations are very clear and they’re quite deep.

    The devil is actually in the details, and the details of this particular artifact are what I consider to be a smoking gun in terms of what level of technology we give the ancient Egyptians credit for.

    Intrigued by his discovery, Chris Dunn performed other experiments using his precision instruments.

    As you can see, this is an inspection surface plate, probably ground to within 2/10,000 of an inch.

    That is one-tenth the thickness of a human hair.

    Now, I was really amazed when I went inside the Serapeum and put these gauges up against the surface, and found them to be within what I consider to be the tolerance of these particular gauges.

    If you would put a piece of paper under one edge of that blade– just a piece of paper– you begin to see that there was would be light leaking through.

    And so, the precision on the inside of the granite boxes in the Serapeum are, I would say, within 2/1,000 of an inch, which is incredible because those tolerances can’t just appear by accident.

    It was very shocking. It was astounding to me to go to Egypt and, uh, go into a facility that was supposedly same kind of precision. Dunn was amazed.

    Dunn had seen evidence of the carvings on granite done in Egypt, and they did they did it with little shards of, uh of quartz. He believes they would have just scratched away the stone with that.

    That that’s one possibility, but I mean, that’s a heck of a lot of work to do that. I mean, we’re talking, somebody would devote years to doing something like that.

    But precision-cut stone monuments are not the only enduring Middle Eastern mysteries. Engineering experts have also examined the Bible story of the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt.

    Just how did they survive for 40 years in the desert? Could they have possessed intricate machines with extraordinary abilities, used not for building, but for man’s own survival? In the Hebrew Bible, the Book of Exodus describes how the Jewish people suffered as slaves living in Egypt.

    Then sometime in the 14th century BC, the ruling pharaoh feared their growing numbers and ordered the killing of all first-born Jews living in Egypt.

    In an effort to save her son, one mother put her child in a small basket and set him adrift on the Nile River. That child was found by the pharaoh’s family, who named him Moses and raised him as their own. As an adult, Moses discovered his true identity and demanded that the Pharaoh free the Jews. When the pharaoh rejected him, Moses helped the Jews escape from Egypt.

    Historians believe that Moses and his people crossed the Red Sea and made their way into the Sinai Desert.

    According to the ancient text, God grew angry at the Jews for idol-worshipping and forced them to wander the desert aimlessly for 40 years before allowing them to enter Israel.

    During this time, the Bible says the Israelites survived by eating a single food source: Manna. But what is manna? A naturally abundant food provided by God or, as some believe? In the Bible, it explains how the Israelites got from Egypt, where they’d been slaves, to the Promised Land.

    They had to cross the Sinai Desert. And inevitably, given that there was a lot of Israelites and very little growing, as it was a desert, they ran short on supplies.

    God stepped in at this point and sent manna from heaven.

    This took the form of some kind of seeds that rained down upon the desert. And then they were collected the next day. And they provided food for the Israelites, except Friday, when there was a double portion, because on Saturday, being the Sabbath, it didn’t fall. While the Hebrew Bible fails to give a clear description of manna, another ancient Jewish text provides an alternative clue.

    The Zohar is a collection of spiritual commentaries and interpretations of the Torah and is central to the mystical Kabbalah belief written in the 13th century.

    The Zohar describes what is called the Ancient of Days as providing the manna, but what was this Ancient of Days? A man, a god or something else? The text speaks of different-sized brains, different-sized faces that were connected with different tubes and different light sources. Theologians have suggested that this is a description of God.

    However, when looked at from a modern perspective, what is described in the Zohar isn’t necessarily a god figure, but rather a type of machine.

    Intrigued by this information, two electrical engineers, George Sassoon and Rodney Dale, used the anatomical descriptions of the Ancient of Days to design what they called a manna machine.

    This really is-is the key diagram of the manna machine, as we built it up from the text. For instance, one here is the mouth, but it’s actually the air intake, which carries what is described as the breath of life.

    The air goes up this tube here, which is described as the brain of the Ancient One but is actually a dew still. So that although we’re talking about the great sea and the hairs of the beard and so on, at the same time, we were able to work out their relative positions and build out the specification of the machine, and find that we had something that was biochemically viable.

    The machine took in the moist morning air and condensed it in the part of the machine that looked like a Plexiglas dome.

    From there, it mixed with an algae culture. The algae culture was treated with energy, such as a strong laser light, in order to speed the growth. Of course, it needed energy for cultivating the algae. And this was produced, we postulate, in a small nuclear reactor, which would produce both heat and light as required. The manna machine was a very dangerous device. We suspect that the reactor that powered the machine was transported in the Ark of the Covenant. We have multiple references in the Bible that whoever came close to the Ark of the Covenant and didn’t know how to operate it was smitten to death.

    And sometimes people, after they encountered the Ark, started to lose their nails and started to lose their hair. So we have evidence of some type of radiation poisoning which was in direct correlation with the Ark of the Covenant.

    And so, the Ark of the Covenant housed an extraterrestrial device which was given to the Israelites during their 40-year wandering through the desert. The manna machine is believed to have supplied a highly nutritious form of green algae, or chlorella, as its food source. It’s yet another theory supported by modern science.

    We found that work in the field of space travel had already been done, where the green algae– chlorella– was bred in tanks and fed to people living in a closed environment and kept them alive.

    Research studies done by NASA in the 1960’s and life could be sustained for extended periods of time by consuming chlorella algae and nothing else. If it’s possible for astronauts to survive on algae, could the Israelites have done the same? The manna machine was a sensitive device. In order to function properly, it had to be cleaned once a week.

    On that day the machine was taken apart and cleaned. So it’s possible that the Sabbath we have today actually originated from cleaning this machine.

    One theory that one could put forward of course is that the machine, although they knew how to maintain it and make it produce the manna, that it did after a time pack up, not work anymore. And that was why they came out of the desert.

    But if the Israelites’ survival depended upon the manna machine, where did they get it? Some believe they had stolen it from the Egyptians prior to their exodus.

    Others suspect extraterrestrials gave it to them as a humanitarian gesture, to prevent their starvation in the desert.

    Either way, the answer, like the Ark of the Covenant, seems lost to history. Today, scientists have successfully pioneered a process that produces a substance high in protein by means of solar energy, water vapor, and chlorella algae.

    Could this be a duplication of alien technology from thousands of years ago? They actually built a machine, a machine based on algae culture producing some type of super food.

    And we can find a similar type of technology described in the Zohar. Is history repeating itself? One of the big questions is “where did the machine come from?” And I suppose there are two answers to that.

    Either it was built on Earth, which is a theory I can’t really subscribe to. The other question, of course, is that it might have come from outer space somewhere. Now, that’s quite a big leap of imagination, but of course, the interesting part is that it actually produces food as is used by spacecraft. If the ancient world contained manna machines, giant mega-saws, and sophisticated aircraft, what was the energy source for all of this technology? The answer may be hiding in plain sight.

    Of all the ancient structures located around the world, perhaps none is more mysterious or as enduring as the Great Pyramid at Giza. At a height of 471 feet, the Great Pyramid stood as the tallest structure in the world until the completion of the Eiffel Tower in 1889. But while other pyramids and temples contain walls filled with hieroglyphics describing their purpose, the Great Pyramid lacks even a single marking.

    What was its function? Why was it built? And what secrets remain hidden inside? Nobody has been able to explain the interior design of this pyramid. It simply doesn’t make sense, according to our logic.

    You have narrow tunnels that you have to crouch. You emerge in grand galleries that are nine meters high. You have chambers that made of granite, where granite doesn’t come from in the area. You have to ship the granite by barges 600 miles away.

    It’s an anonymous site.

    Not a single inscription.

    Not a single hieroglyph.

    Not a single anything.

    It’s just there.

    Some people speculated that it was a temple and an initiation chamber, where people would go to the king’s chamber and become enlightened.

    There are anecdotal reports about people who have been inside the pyramid and have come out absolutely shaken and– because it was haunted.

    Egyptologists believe that the pyramids were built to bury the dead pharaoh.

    The problem with the accepted view is the fact that not a single dead pharaoh’s body has been found inside a pyramid, even when the pyramid was completely sealed.

    Not a single grave robber could have entered it.

    The Egyptologists say it’s to conceal the body.

    Well, why advertise it? I mean, there’s nothing more visible than a pyramid for miles.

    And to this day, you would have thought, in this modern age, with all the knowledge we have, we should be able to explain this pyramid. We cannot explain this pyramid. Engineering expert Christopher Dunn has been on a personal quest to unlock the secrets of the Great Pyramid since the late 1970’s. According to him, there are specific clues in the design and construction of this mega-monument that can help answer exactly why it was built.

    When you look at the Great Pyramid and look at the culture that built it, they’re brilliant, brilliant engineers. In fact, a lot of engineers say we couldn’t build the Great Pyramid today. And it was built, supposedly, And it was built to the precision of a machine.

    When I started to do the research and I examined the Great Pyramid with the eye of functionality, um, it was built like a machine.

    Perhaps it functioned like a machine.

    The interior design of the Great Pyramid features four inclined air shafts emanating from the king’s chamber and the lower queen’s chamber.

    Like the Great Pyramid itself, their presence and purpose cannot be easily explained. The difficulty of building those shafts is incredible. It’s a bit like building a chimney at an incline across a house. I mean, as a construction engineer, it’s a nightmare.

    In 2002, a team of engineers and Egyptologists sent a small robot into one of the airshafts connected to the queen’s chamber. After 65 meters, a stone door blocked its path.

    A hole was then drilled through it. On the other side was a small room with yet another door leading further up the shaft. Since the discovery of the door, we’ve had every university, archaeologist, anthropologist, every engineer you can think of– nobody has been able to explain the purpose of the shafts.

    But were these shafts ever open? And if they were, what might they have been used for? The early explorers that went into the queen’s chamber found that the walls were coated with a layer of salt.

    That kind of gelled with a theory that I had developed.

    You had a dilute hydrochloric acid solution coming down one shaft and hydrated zinc coming down the other shaft and when they combined in the queen’s chamber, they created hydrogen. Hydrogen.

    It is one of the most powerful energy sources in the universe. In the mid-19th century, it was hydrogen gas that helped lift some of mankind’s first airships, called zeppelins, into the sky. Today, it is used as a fuel to launch rockets into space.

    And if thousands of years ago, the Great Pyramid was actually producing hydrogen, that would make it one of the earliest power plants known to man.

    The Giza power plant theory is essentially the drawing of energy from the Earth through the Great Pyramid, and converting that energy into microwave energy.

    So the chemicals actually come in through the shafts into the queen’s chamber, and then they combine and mix and hydrogen boils off.

    The hydrogen is then lighter than air and it will flow into all the upper chambers. The energy from the earth is then vibrating the whole pyramid. The vibrations are picked up in the Grand Gallery.

    So it was proposed the Grand Gallery was a resonator hall and there are 27 pairs of slots that actually go up the length of the gallery and then the resonators were mounted in there vertically.

    Christopher Dunn is theorizing that with resonating galleries, the pyramid shot a microwave out of one of the shafts, and once you started up this power plant, it would have gone on for years, decades, even hundreds of years without stopping and creating the microwave.

    And that was a usable energy that could be captured. Now we can speculate where it goes from there. It could be collected in the immediate vicinity or it could keep traveling off into space. We don’t know.

    That’s the mystery. But if the Great Pyramid was actually a power plant producing energy, was it doing it alone, or was it part of a larger network? And are there any clues that could tell us what all of that energy was being used for? Perhaps the 20th century’s most influential inventor was a Serbian-American named Nikola Tesla.

    His patents on alternating electrical currents and distribution helped establish the commercial electricity industry. He also made contributions to robotics, radar, and computer science. But while Tesla can be credited for many scientific advances, one idea that fell short was his attempt to create a wireless electrical grid. Tesla’s project was to have these towers around the United States and around the world. And they would broadcast electricity like a television station. Instead of having to string power lines all over the place, you just transmit the energy through the air or through the ground.

    There were a number of demonstrations of this device for wireless power transmission during Tesla’s lifetime.

    So, we know the device worked. It appears that he was using the conductivity of the ground or the air to carry the electric current.

    Basically in the air, if you put enough voltage on it, you’ll get an arc across it. I mean, you see that all the time in a fluorescent light bulb. In the ground, you have water, minerals, salts that can also carry the ions along, and therefore carry the electric current.

    But while Tesla’s power towers proved popular in theory, the project ended in financial failure. But could Tesla’s idea of wireless electricity have been a rediscovery of an ancient technology? I believe that what Tesla was doing was trying to recreate what was an ancient power system that was used around the world, and the way they did this was the use of obelisks.

    Obelisks as monolithic, granite towers, which are one solid piece of crystal, and the obelisks themselves were cut to special sizes and tuned like a tuning fork.

    Could these ancient broadcast towers really have sent electricity up into the atmosphere? And if so, how was the electricity generated? Each of these obelisks would have required some kind of generating power station similar to what we have today.

    Electricity is created by rotating magnetic fields. So rotating magnetic fields generate AC power. The very first power station was built by Nikola Tesla at Niagara Falls.

    You’ve got to have some sort of power that’s spinning the rotating fields, and in this case would be water.

    So every obelisk would have had to have had a power station similar to like the one at Niagara Falls. It’s generating power, but the obelisk itself is putting the power into the atmosphere, making it useable.

    And this is similar to Christopher Dunn’s theory of the Giza power plant because he believes that the Great Pyramid was actually sending a microwave beam to a satellite that was in orbit around the planet.

    That satellite then could have been taking microwave power and then it could transmit it again, in theory, to some other location on the earth, such as, say a remote island like Easter Island or something like that.

    From some of the descriptions of ancient flying machines, it’s possible that some form of power beaming might have been used. And in fact, for a lot of the schemes that you see, it actually would make a lot of sense because you could put the power beaming station on a mother-ship in orbit.

    You’re just beaming energy to the vehicle, where it’s absorbed and turned into propulsion thrust. It actually makes a lot of sense because you’re taking the energy system, the power system, off of the vehicle and locating it remotely.

    Electricity power tools mega-machinery And the ability to explore the heavens Have these technologies been available for just the past few centuries? Or are they of ancient origin, only recently rediscovered? Were our ancestors capable of these incredible achievements? Or might they have come from another source, one much more out of this world? Civilizations were much more advanced than we give them credit, and literally, as advanced as we are today.

    In my view, we need to take this seriously simply because of the scale of the work.

    We’re looking at monuments that took, perhaps, a century to build. Even today, we have difficulty in considering such a project. It just boggles the mind.

    And really, to look at those artifacts and to go back in time and say, how did they do it? We are kind of cracking the lid open a little bit and looking inside to try and see just what happened in our history.

    It’s a question which is a scientific question. And you constantly have to ask it. And the possible answer of have aliens visited in the past could be a potential yes. It’s a very specific reason why all of this stuff was built in stone: For posterity.

    So it would last. So that a future generation would have to stumble across these monuments. We are that society who can look at these ancient monuments and finally recognize that all of this stuff was built as a message for us to see that our past is way different than what we’re being taught in school.

    Filer’s Files #21 – 2018 Alien Abduction - PART I

    In special reports, this week’s files cover: General Twining Visited Crashed Saucers, Alien Abduction, and UFOs Over South Carolina

    Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Nevada, New York, Texas, and Washington.

    Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Australia, Canada, Costa Rica, Germany, Portugal, Puerto Rico, 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.

    General Twining Visited Crashed Saucers

    General Twining’s flight logs of 1947 have been released in the  past few years. At the time he was commander of the Air Material Command that developed aircraft for the Air Foce. Also, Twining’s pilot flight logs have been reviewed, so  his whereabouts between July 7th and July 9th 1947 have been confirmed  and authenticate part of this document. This trip to New Mexico was  Twining’s one and only trip during Summer of 1947.   

    IPU Summary Page 4 states the following:-  7th July 1947 – Twinning went to Alamagordo AAF for a secret meeting  with AAF Chief Of Staff Spaatz and to view recovered remains of craft  from crash landing site 20 miles northwest of Socorro.   8th July 1947 – Twinning went to Kirtland AAF to inspect parts recovered  from powerplant. 9th July 1947 – Twining  and staff went to White Sands Proving Ground to  inspect pieces of craft being stored there.   10th July 1947 – Twining made inspection of R andD facilities at Alamagordo  and then returned to Wright Field.

    Skywatch International reports that General’s Marshall’s executive secretary was Humelsine who dictated a letter to President Truman a memo about Twining meeting President Truman on 25th September 1947.

    President Truman

    Stanton Friedman met with Twining’s pilot from instruction with Twining’s wife, to find out information about Humelsine report.   There was no record of meeting with Truman on Twining’s  pilot flight  log, but his pilot said Twining sometimes made secret flights himself,  with Truman actually flying the plane.

    Twining’s personal flight log  does actually state that he flew to a meeting with Truman on that date  and also flew to Wright Field on same day.   Why did Hummelsine send a memo to Truman dictated from Marshall?  Hummelsine was executive secretary to Marshall. Hummelsine’s office was  in Washington, and on this date Marshall was miles away at the UN  (building in progress) building in New York, so Marshall would have had  to dictate his memo over the telephone to Hummelsine. Until this  document came out, hardly anyone in ufology had even heard of  Hummelsine. He was Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force from 1953 until 1957, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Stafffrom 1957 to 1960. He was the first member of the Air Force to serve as Chairman.    1st Annual Report Of Majestic Twelve 1952 – Page 11

    Alien Abduction

    Dr. Bruce Cornet writes, From my POV, material evidence such as chemical structures, alloys, metals, layering of alloys…these are things which we can measure against a lot of knowns. As for example in the book, “UFO Crash at San Augustin” by Art Campbell has measuable isostopic metal analysis that proves alien intervention. Art has painstakingly documented with over 100 photographs and lab analysis the materials found at the site. In my opinion the, metals, amd layering of alloys were not made by humans.

    Human to humanoid contact is a difficult science often requiring more psychological analysis with Doctors and hypnotists to discern what people perceived they saw. And there is always the possibility of false memories. I’m familiar with many of the abduction stories.  It’s not clear the intent of the witnesses or the humanoids in these stories. There is even the thought  that 2D and 3D projections by a technological civilization may be being used to mask what is really going on. In many ways, every POV is a reality distortion field.

    You are correct that data are needed to separate fact from fiction in witness sightings of unknowns and memories of what happened during abductions. I was well aware of the shortcomings of human POV as you call it. I spent more than a decade trying to understand the UAP activity near Pine Bush, NY, and created hundreds of web pages detailing the facts and data collected.

    Dr. Bruce Cornet’s website called The Experiment, will not only demonstrate the characteristic of anomalies, but how our visitors can project different images to people standing two feet apart.

    Have you been abducted or witnessed an ET?

    I had no conscious memory of an abduction save for what my drill crew told me happened to me on 1-2 October 1981. It wasn’t until I was hypnotically regressed 13 years 8 months later on 29 May 1995 by Fred Max that I recovered details and confirmation that I had indeed been abducted in front of my 12 crew members and operated on by three wrinkle-brow aliens, two males and one female. There were others in the operating room. Their objective was to secure a large sperm sample, but because my left testacle was damaged in a childhood baseball accident, they ended up damaging my right testacle.

    Soon thereafter, a large cyst developed on my right testacle, which has been medically documented with sonic scans, but what doctor would suspect it was caused by inserting an extraction device into that testacle by an ET?  Still that is data worthy of complementing multiple witness testimony and an extensive hypnotic regression:

    But this abduction has never attracted the attention that the Travis Walton abduction received.  I can understand, because there were many people involved in Walton’s investigation, including the police. There were only my drill crew and me as witnesses, who have never been tracked down for their testimonies once my regression in 1995 proved to me a Doubting Thomas that I was indeed abducted.

    Linda Moulton Howe gave a 39 minute review of MJ-12 and what has been disclosed regarding recovered alien vehicles and bodies since 1941.  You Might Wanna Watch This Before They DELETE This Video! (2018-2019)

    She documents five types of alien named by MJ-12:  Ebens, Arkaloids, Podloids, Peploeloids and Trontoloids

    My interest was which one of these types of aliens abducted me from the Bailey No. 1 wellsite on 1-2 October 1981 near Richmond, VA.  The only times I have met this type of alien was in Virginia on three different occasions between 1981 and 1994. On my Wellsite Abduction website, I provide drawings of the type that abducted both me, and my wife Pat, even interacting with her at Brown University.  Also, the late Dr. Karla Turner wrote about Poly, who drew similar wrinkle-brown aliens with a chalky-yellow skin that can appear white or tan.

    They are similar to what MJ-12 calls the Arkaloids with ridged or wrinkled cranial skin.

    Cornet reports I have been abducted at least two times for a sperm sample.  Then in 1994 I met two of my hybrid children in a live televisual projection from space over my bed on the morning of 23 October 1994.  12 days earlier I had been paced along the Garden State Parkway by two alien craft, and I communicated telepathically with the pilots.

    Arkaloid type.

    I only later found out that they were my two children (at age 27) who I met over my bed, as they floated in space in decompression suites with stars as a background.

    I describe this extraordinary encounter in my new book, “The Woman Who Bore the Male Child,” Revelation Chapter 12.  Their mother became my second wife, Bonnie Lee Cornet, on her 36th birthday.  They were born to her on 1 August 1967, when she was only 17 years old and still a virgin.  Less than a month before she told me she began having the symptoms of pregnancy, I was abducted for a sperm sample on a trip to Buffalo, NY, to see a college friend.  I saw a disc-shaped craft diving across the New York Thruway (I-90) in front of me and disappear behind a row of trees.  I pulled over and ventured into the woods to see if it landed, southeast of Henrietta, NY.

    The next thing I remember was getting back into my car and continuing my journey.  I had this screen memory that I had helped an alien fix his vehicle, but I could not explain why my testicles ached severely.  When I got to Buffalo, I was an hour late.  I had an hour of missing time.  Bonnie Lee Harrington became pregnant about a week to ten days later in Collingswood, NJ.  She was a 17 year old Jewish virgin.  She gave premature birth after four months gestation to a pair of identical twins, Anora and Khyle, who I met in a live televisual communication from space on 23 October 1994, 27 years later.  A paternal-daughter DNA test could prove this extraterrestrial intervention.

    True story and it would seem that only those who seek the truth sometimes get answers, and those answers are not always what they expected. Cheers, Bruce

    UFOs Over South Carolina

    Author Sherman Carmichael has been researching UFOs and strange things since 1972. His extensive research includes many hours of reading, live interviews, and trips to Roswell, New Mexico, and the Mayan Ruins in Mexico and Central America. Accounts of hovering objects and strange lights in the sky are reported daily all across America. South Carolina is no exception. Here find over 65 stories from pilots, law enforcement, military, and citizens detailing incidents they have experienced. In 48 different cities, towns, and rural communities, from Johnsonville to Myrtle Beach and Charleston, communities in South Carolina are experiencing UFO activity. Aliens have made their presences known at nuclear facilities, air force bases and navel stations, dams and power plants, and are even harassing the everyday folk of the Palmetto State. Following cars in Jasper County and Greenville, opening portals in Reesesville, and buzzing backyards throughout the region, sightings are becoming more frequent as time goes by. South Carolina is a hot bed for UFO activity from strange lights to crafts that make impossible maneuvers to alien abductions. Take a closer look at South Carolina’s skies.

    UFOs Over South Carolina is an interesting, entertaining, informative little book that one can breeze through basically in one sitting. Nice volume for reading while sitting in front of a fireplace on a rainy day, or lounging on the porch in the summertime. It will NOT send shivers up your spine and not have you shaking in your shoes, because there is nothing here that is particularly terrifying. Thought provoking, I’d suggest, and good intellectual “chew food” for mulling over the long running (and seemingly never-ending) mystery of weird things seen in the skies AND on the ground!…There have been numerous sightings of UFOs over nuclear facilities since 1949. Oak Ridge, Savannah River, Hartford, Los Alamos, McGuire, Cherokee, and Indian Point have all been buzzed at low altitude suggesting a program to monitor the key nuclear sites. Just 104 pages overall and many of those are illustrations. But it IS well researched and well written and would definitely come in handy as a info source for UFO buffs in general, and for those living in South Carolina (as does this reviewer) in particular.

    William R. Hancock writes, I personally, have NO difficulty in “believing” what Carmichael writes about here. I served in Army Intelligence for four years back “in the day” (1968-1971) and bumped up on this kind of thing from time to time. Worked operationally for both the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Defense Intelligence Agency. It was during my DIA-attached period (1971) that I worked for a research project in Northern Virginia (Warrenton. Vint Hill Farms Army Security Agency Signal Intelligence Station) called “Project Lefirm Armour” (don’t get antsy….my 30-year confidentiality obligation has expired now, and, besides, the project was discontinued years ago).

    Secret Sentry Facility

    Lefirm Armour was an attempt to develop Over-The-Horizon (OTH) detection of Soviet  and Chinese guided missile launches (or cosmonaut space launches in the case of the Russians); this because the government wanted a system that would alert the continental U.S. to “incomings” (in the event of attack) BEFORE the enemy missiles came over the earth’s horizon. The curvature of the earth blocked radar detection until “incomings” cleared the horizon. I won’t go into all the theory of how this was to work, because it is pointless for this discussion. Anyway, we COULD detect stuff (and DID), and dutifully reported what we found and analyzed. We found, ultimately, that satellites did a MUCH more effective job of this , and so, eventually, Lefirm Armour had its “plug pulled”. While it WAS operating, though, we DID pick up “bogeys” now and then—things that had odd behaviors in the atmosphere and that obviously were NOT Soviet or Chinese hardware.

    All such “bogeys”…UFOs…were reported straightaway to NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) at Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado, where they maintained a special “desk” for such things known as NIIC (National Intelligence Indications Center…pronounced “Nick”). Things also went to the Air Force OSI (Office of Special Investigations), Air Intelligence, and to what was termed DEFSMAC (or just “Smack”), the Defense Space Missile Activity Center at National Security Agency headquarters at Fort Meade, MD. ALL these agencies were intensely interested in “bogeys” like this…even though the official position (post Univ. of Colorado “Condon Report”) of the USAF (and the government as a whole) was that there was “nothing TO” UFOs and they were “no longer investigating them”.

    Oh, sure. WE believed that…..NOT. We all knew that the disbanded Project Blue Book had been mostly an “Air Farce” public relations “front” and that other units STILL beat the bushes for the flying “what-evers”.
    I knew long before this that there were strange flying things in the sky , though, because nine years previous to Lefirm Armour I had seen one of the boogers myself, as a fifteen-year-old boy. In South Carolina, LOL! In semi-rural country, just outside the small Greenville County mill town of Piedmont. My parents owned 21 acres of land (a rectangular plot running lengthwise between the highway  and the Saluda River) between the Piedmont town limits and the community of Grove Station, along SC Highway 20, south of Greenville itself. It was the late summer of 1963 and I was a rising sophomore in high school.

    The assassination of John F. Kennedy was only months away. My cousin from Fayetteville, NC, was staying with me at the time and we were out in back of our house one evening after sundown. My father maintained a vegetable garden back of the house and he had tilled it up for the year just a day or two before. The earth was gray and fresh and moist and felt great between the bare toes of two boys that night. We were out there because there was a colony of bats that lived down in the woods of the “back 20” and they would come out at night and fly around over the garden area looking for varmints as prey. Mice and moles and such. This night the sky was deep purple (not totally black yet) and bright-spangled with stars. Visibility was excellent. The bats swarmed overhead and David and I were having fun throwing sticks and dirt clods up to see them use their “sonar” to avoid our “missiles”. They were GREAT at such avoidance. As we continued this tomfoolery we chanced to see a bright light come up over the treeline of the west-northwest horizon, moving right along.

    It was about as bright as Venus, and, in the night sky, was close to the same size but a slight bit bigger. It was NOT Venus, because we already KNEW where Venus was overhead and this was something else altogether. It COULD be taken to be an earth satellite (Ours or “theirs”), but it seemed lower in the sky than that to us. Seemed to move a bit faster. Heading from west-northwest towards east-southeast. Thought struck us that maybe it was an aircraft but we reasoned we’d see more lights than that, with some of them blinking. We heard no engine noise, but, we realized that it MIGHT be going faster (if it WAS a plane) than sound and might be leaving its engine noise BEHIND it. We figured we’d wait  and see if we heard such. After a moment or two we began to INDEED hear engine noise, and thought “There it is! It IS a plane!”, but almost as soon as that thought occurred we realized there was something screwy there. The noise should be TRAILING the light (if it was a plane), and therefore playing catch-up from our RIGHT. THIS noise seemed to be coming from BEHIND us…so we turned to look.
    HO-boy! Back to the east-northeast of us had long been Donaldson Air Force Base, a World War II era installation that had housed until recently the 63rd Troop Carrier Wing of C-124  Globemaster airplanes. Donaldson had recently been closed down (it is now an industrial park), and much of its mission re-located to Shaw AFB (Sumter, SC), but a few things were still there. ONE thing that WAS there was a South Carolina Air National Guard unit.

    F-102 Delta Dagger fighter-interceptors…..and guess what we suddenly saw headed our way, running lights ablaze and climbing higher and higher as it came……apparently HEADED straight for our LIGHT IN THE SKY! That very thing! An F-102 Delta Dagger!

    It looked JUST like it was being vectored on an intercept course right TO that light. We went bug-eyed and turned to check out what was about to “go down”. With the F-102 zeroing in, the light suddenly BLINKED OUT! Vanished! Just like somebody had flicked a switch. One second there was a bright light hauling butt across the sky and the next second there was…NOTHING. The F-102 hit his intercept point and there was nothing FOR him there TO intercept! Zilch. Nada. He’d essentially been told “Hasta La Vista, baby”. The ANG fighter pilot made a couple of big circles in the sky where there SHOULD have been something to intercept…and HAD been something to intercept….and then took off back in the direction he’d come from, back towards Donaldson.
    My cousin and I went booking it into our house to tell my eye-rolling, slyly smiling parents about what we’d just seen and basically heard the old saw about “Kids. Such imaginations”. We watched the news that night and heard NOTHING, and then searched the newspapers the next day with equal frustration. Nothing. Seemingly nobody else had seen this but us( except for the Air Guard and THEY weren’t saying a WORD). I’ve carried this vivid memory around for years, told numerous people about it, and even asked MUFON if they had any old report data on such an event. Negative. But it happened.

    And, interestingly, Carmichael’s book has some sighting stories that evoke the same kind of experience as we had in ’63. There is an instance of jets in seeming pursuit of an object over St. Stephen, SC, a few years back in this book, as well as some discussion of lights that blink out into nothingness. All such references bring back the memory. Carmichael speculates about wormhole possibilities and I have considered that, as well as dimensional “portals” and changes in molecular vibrational rates wherein such a “craft”(?) might change its atomic vibration so that we can’t “see” it anymore. In any event, good reference book about very real situations….no matter WHAT any smirking debunker type might try to tell you to the contrary. Recommended.

    P.S. In an update in the early 1960s of his 1950s book “The Report On Unidentified Flying Objects“, former AF Captain Edward Ruppelt, the original head of Project Blue Book, did a bit of an about-face on his original (mostly positive) assessment of the phenomena, and complained that the “saucers” seemed unlikely as you almost NEVER detected them “out there” (in space) or “Coming IN” from OUT THERE. They seemed to just “appear” in our skies. Well, he has a point there. That was what WE experienced at Lefirm Armour with our “bogeys”. They sort of appeared, and sort of vanished…like my 1963 light ball. For that reason I don’t pay much attention to notions of linear incoming travel from across deep space. Think that is too much thinking “IN the box”. I think these things pop in and pop out; most likely through dimensional portals. Lets hear it for John Keel  and Jacques Vallee! Pjotos are depictions.

    Filer’s Files #21 – 2018 Alien Abduction - PART II

    Sightings of UFOs in the United States

    Arizona Light

    Pheonix – I noticed a light too close to be star and hovering in the same spot as planes flew behind it and helicopter closer to me.

    I broke my glasses and pulled out my phone to get a better view and was more confused.

    Photo was taken May 25, 2018

    California Object

     Mendota  — At 10:15 pm as my kids and I were driving through a dark, lonely road through fields on May 20, 2018. We saw an object in the sky with white and red lights moving through the sky SUPER FAST! It caught our eyes, because we’ve never seen anything like this.
    We watched as the flying object moved super fast from one end to another and closer.
    Then it suddenly slowed down, hovered  and lowered. We saw a clear disk shape going in circles with white and red flashing lights! There was no question as to what we were clearly looking at. Then all of a sudden it was gone. Right after we lost sight of it, two bunnies appear on the road in plain darkness in front of our car. Then, another. We were so scared, we couldn’t understand what the heck was going on.

    It was the scariest thing ever! My body froze so bad that I was having difficulty moving  and driving. I was super stiff until i got home! The scariest part was that we were stuck on that road with no one and nothing around and we had to drive toward our last sighting of this thing, because it was the only way out of there to reach the highway. Found this picture of a UFO sighting from 2010 which most closely resembles what we saw (except for the blue light). We did not take any pictures ourselves as we were in shock. I still am having trouble sleeping! Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Florida Lights

    Orange Park —  I went to walk my friend to her car on Friday night on May 8, 2018.  with my husband. We saw something that was flashing red and green. It hung out for about 20 minutes. So now I have been going out every night at 10pm. So tonight red and green guys came again. They stayed for about an hour and left. I took a picture, but you can’t see much. But there were other people who have seen it too. On Saturday there were some weird looking cloud formations. I am sending the pictures that I have. But they aren’t much. Call me if you have any questions.

    Responses From Witness: I thought that it could be a planet too, but it moves. But tonight was my brother’s graduation and the big one was outside the restaurant. My family saw it. If you look through the pictures I sent you, it moves position. And tonight there were helicopters everywhere.

    Note: It is difficult to identify the lights or objects that the witness is viewing. The witness has been seeing the light(s) on successive nights at around the same time. This suggests that the light(s) possibly could be a bright planet or star. Several photos have been taken, but they reveal little detail. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com

    Georgia Orbs

    I’m an avid sky watcher and have seen and reported other incidents. i was at work at walmart on break around 5:40 am when i noticed a ball of light traveling in the sky on May 25, 2018.

    it was silent, bright with no aviation light. i pulled out my phone and recorded it for several seconds. Unfortunately I had to go back inside otherwise i would have watched and recorded much more. lately i’ve been seeing a lot of interesting things in the sky.

    Illinois Object

    Elk Grove — All what you can see in photo, it was 2 of those with distance between each other 1-2 miles..

    It was Saturday morning May 18, 2018.

    Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Nevada Object

    Las Vegas — My Husband and I were heading to the lake. He was driving and I was in the passenger seat on May 25, 2018.  He asked me to take some pictures because it was a beautiful area and the sun was coming up and the sky was clear. The first couple of pictures I took I never once saw anything. It didn’t matter if I was pointing the camera out the passenger window or the windshield in front of me. My husband and I both saw the black thing in all the pics. We were on Lake Mead Road going into Catalina Bay to hang out on the houseboat. Just a normal day we thought it would by. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    New York Top

     Melville — When I left my job, i first noticed an opaque object that seemed to float and that went up and down on the same vertical on May 4, 2018. i took my phone to zoom in and started recording when the object started moving horizontally. the object crossed an angle of about 150 degrees from the vertical from where the displacement began until the vertical where i stopped seeing it. Two miles away in the same direction as the object is the República Airport. At first i thought about the possibility that it was a hot air balloon but the sky was still quite dark for these artifacts to fly and the proximity of the airport cancels the possibility of the flight of objects that does not have control of direction like a hot air balloon. Thanks to MUFON CMS

     Texas Object

    Keller — I was swimming at the pool when I noticed a bright, pulsating, glowing orb flying towards our direction, coming from the North on May 24, 2018.  It was higher than a plane, flying in a straight path and with the naked eye we could see pulsing lights of reddish orange and bluish white.  I see a UFO in the same vicinity during the day time. We grabbed my cell phone, a Samsung 8 and began recording. I filmed until iI lost sight of it when it got near the sun. We watched the film and discovered that it was morphing into different shapes and had something black on it. It morphed into squares, triangles, bean shaped, diamonds, hexagon, circles, etc. About 10 minutes later a plane flew by and it was very clear that what we saw was not a plane or a drone. This is the second time in about 2 months. Thanks to MUFON CMS

     Washington Disc

    Marysville — I was on my way to school on Highway 2 when 2 lights brighter than average were off in the distance on May 7, 2018,.

    i was riding shotgun, so i busted my camera out and caught video and analyzed that.’They initially just hovered and randomly flashed off. I see these every night almost and have a boatload of evidenc. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Worldwide UFO Sightings

     Australia Space Object

     I have taken screenshots on my ISS app on my phone on 2 different occasions. the first was on the 28/12/17 and the 2nd occasion was on the 4/3/18. On the 28/12 i have taken 1 photo and my memory of that is a little vague. on the 4/3 I have taken 5 screenshots, all 5 seconds after one another.

    I want to add I am using the same cell phone right now to submit this report so to submit the original photos I took with all the added info and details attached to the pictures, such as the date and time etc. basically i saw the round object, and i have researched about the ISS befoore and know that stars and most planets are not visible through the cameras on the ISS, only the sun and moon and a not many planets. and definitely not other satellites because of the speed the ISS is travelling aswell as the other satellites. i immediately begun taking screenshots and as you can see the time between the photos, i hope that will help if someone can calculate the speed of the ISS and whatever else may be to pinpoint a distance of the object and size, maybe. I have thought afterwards maybe this is just a planet or a secret human powered craft, and other ideas. but after finding this site I simply wanted to submit my info and get the experts to look at it. before the 28/12/17 i have never seen a ufo before and these are the only 2 times i have seen anything on the ISS app. i have been incredibly astonished and blown away this year to, to see a UFO with my own eyes very close to my town and i have a detailed description to tell in another report so i will just keep that brief for now. Basically i first saw the object up high then it hovered for a little while then slowly dropped downwards until it was out of sight behind earth. thankyou anyone who puts time into this and can back to me if these sightings i am sharing are authentic or not. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Canada Light

    Ingersoll — –  Was outside with my son around 10 pm when we spotted a very large bright object. Much larger than any star or satellite etc on May 25, 2018. It hovered for about 15 minutes before travelling away from us. When we took a picture and zoomed in the object appeared to have a door in its side. Not saying this is a UFO but we have no other ideas. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Costa Rica Lights

    Rio Oro, San Jose — I was with my girlfriend at my residence in Costa Rica called San Nicolas de Bari Residences in Rio Oro. My apartment is on the second floor. with  a small balcony. While we were resting in bed, my fiance said “Look, an OVNI!”
    I immediately jumped out of bed and followed her to the balcony. There, to the WNW we both observed the object. Having flown helicopters and being extremely familiar with various aircraft and altitudes. It was not a any man-made aircraft. This was a rapid thought process, maybe 5 seconds. I knew precisely what I was witnessing.

    The craft was shaped like a Tylenol capsule (horizontally situated). The colors encompassed the entire craft and changed from red to green with some white light in the transitions. The light transitioned like plasma. The object was not more than 1 to 2 Kilometers from our position at 200-250 Meters AGL. I first observed it hovering in one fixed place; it then moved rapidly to the left (west) and stopped in a hover; it then descended rapidly for 50 meters and stopped in a hover; moved right again to a hover; moved left to the previous position; and lastly ascended in a flash (mach 10+) out of the atmosphere.  I do have a video from that evening of me fumbling around trying to figure the phone out. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Germany Lights

     Berlin — I was walking with my dog in Berlin-Moabit, at 2:57am and i saw the object on May 13, 2018 . it was moving from the west to east, from the airport Berlin-Tegel(Txl). at that time it’s not allowed for regular planes to start and land from there and because of the fact that i live right next to it can i tell that it was not a plane in landing or starting mode. it just flew over Berlin.

    One light, no signals no nothing. just that white light ball. it was too close to be a satellite or something else. i’m sure that it was in our atmosphere, Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Portugal Disc

    Vila Little De Aguiar –At work, after prenoitar in this town on May 25, 2018, this morning, we get ready to start the service and change the advertising panels by the road. On a break, I took three pictures in the position from right to left, tkat aroused my attention

    Thanks to MUFON CMS

     Puerto Rico Strange Tube

    On our way back from Aguadilla, Puerto Rico To Rincon my grandson noticed the object first. I slowed down to see it. I told my grandson to snap a few pictures on my cell phone to look at them later.
    He took this photo on May 15, 2018

    It looked as a tube from one cloud to another. We don’t know what it was. I’m sending them to you. Maybe you can figure it out as to what it was. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Ghost or UFO? Video triggers controversy, MUFON probe is on

    A video showing an alleged spirit on the ground that suddenly shoots up to the sky in the most mysterious manner is generating a heated debate on spirits to aliens.

    An eerie video has been submitted to MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) recently, and it shows a ghost-like flying entity. In the initial moments of the video, the alleged evil spirit was seen resting on the ground and later it shoots up to the sky in the most mysterious manner.

    The video was later shared by conspiracy theory YouTube channel 'UFOmania' where it has already received more than 6,900 views. As the video went viral, spiritualists started claiming that this could be a solid proof of the existence of soul. The soul is yet to get salvation, they reason out.

    "Evil spirits on the move. It's time to armor up in Jesus name! Plead the blood of Jesus over your homes and stay prayed up.," commented VoltixD, a YouTube user.

    On the other hand, alien buffs and UFO enthusiasts have a different story to tell. According to these conspiracy theorists, the object featured in the video might be a cloaking UFO which came from the deeper space. These theorists argue that aliens have very advanced technology to stay invisible and that they can even shape-shift, if necessary.

    However, skeptics are not convinced with either the alien or ghost theory. They brushed it aside as an anomaly in the video probably caused by a bug in the camera lens. They also suggest that the object spotted might be actually an insect sitting in the camera lens.

    "Another one of these videos again! This must be their first time owning a camera with night vision. That is clearly an insect on the lens. You can even see its legs moving as it crawls up the frame. I have a camera on my house and I see all kinds of weird stuff on it at night but 95% of the time it's either insects, rain or dust," commented Caramel Reese, a YouTube user.

    A peek at what will go down in Indian Wells this June, when it becomes the epicenter of the search for aliens

    Seekers have been wandering the desert in search of answers at least since Moses. Some might say also Zarathrustra.

    But the search for answers about UFOs, ancient aliens and mysterious megalithic monuments has become so popular in this desert that producers Paul Andrews and Victoria Gevoian are moving their annual Contact in the Desert conference from Joshua Tree, a reputed vortex of metaphysical energy, to the Renaissance Indian Wells Resort & Spa, where the Republican Koch brothers lead conservative think tanks.

    Georgio A. Tsoukalos, star of “Ancient Aliens,” will speak at “Contact in the Desert.”

    The June 1-4 conference was moved, Andrews said, partly because its international audience was seeking more comfort than it was getting in the high desert. But most guests come to hear the world-class speakers, participate in panel discussions and conduct workshops on subjects such as UFO and alien abduction documentation.

    If you watch TV programs like “Ancient Aliens” or read books like “Chariots of the Gods,” you know the marquee names like Giorgio A. Tsoukalos and Erich Von Daniken. But the 50 speakers at this year’s Contact in the Desert also include professors, investigators and even former Congressman Merrill Cook, R-Utah, who has demanded greater disclosure of government files on extraterrestrial sightings.

    SIGN UP FOR FACEBOOK NEWS ALERTS: Message us here to get started

    This conference isn’t purely academic. It will include a field trip to the mysterious Giant Rock near Landers. Programs such as NightVision SkyWatch will have participants don night vision goggles and search the skies for UFOs under the guidance of former FBI agent Ben Hansen, host of SyFi’s “Fact or Faked: The Paranormal Files.”

    Contact in the Desert is even building a 360-dome on a Renaissance lawn so guests can digest programs, such as the origin of matter, in 3-D augmented reality. Andrews, who had a mysterious experience as a kid, is serious about promoting dialogue on issues long relegated to esoterica. But he and Gevoian are event producers, so they'll break up the intellectual discourse with programming such as a Saturday night magic show, which prompted the first skeptical question in a wide-ranging Desert Sun interview.

    DESERT SUN: Why do you have a magic show, which is illusion or trickery, when you’re trying to prove that many of these unexplained phenomenon are real?

    GEVOIN: It’s like, this is such a serious subject for so many people, it’s a little levity. It just lightens things up and makes people smile.

    You have workshops on how to locate UFOs and I notice you had a sighting in 2016. Did it come out of a workshop?

    GEVOIN: Actually, every year we have what is called the NightVision Experience, and we’ve had sightings almost every single year (at it). But it just so happened that we had a film crew (in 2016). They were going out to give us B role of people looking up at the stars with the night vision goggles. They happened to be there when the sightings took place, so, we have the footage on our website.

    ANDREWS: (Radio host) Jimmy Church witnessed it first-hand and went on the radio nationally and talked about it two or three hours. I’ve been to a lot of shows and, as far as I know, we’re the only show that ever demonstrated an actual sighting and was able to document it.

    What made you think it was a UFO?

    ANDREWS: The movement. It was moving in a way that no known craft that we know of could move.

    GEVOIN: Any time it does 90-degree turns and it moves around all over the place, you go, “Wait, what’s going on there?”

    The New York Times ran a story about the Pentagon’s secret Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program that was shut down in 2012.  Do you think there’s more interest in your subject matter because of news stories like that?

    ANDREWS: Definitely. The New York Times doesn’t publish something casually. They have enough sources at this point that they think there’s something significant going on and I think that has been a catalyst to the renewed interest in this whole field. It’s not just UFOs. It’s also a lot of what Giorgio Tsoukalos is doing on the History Channel.

    GEVOIN: Right. “Ancient Aliens” and Forbidden Archaeology is huge. We are bringing scientists, NASA whistle-blowers, high-ranking military personnel, FBI people. archaeologists focused on forbidden archaeology, and we have the grandfather of them all, Erich Von Daniken.

    Erich Von Daniken (shown here) popularized theories about extra-terrestrials visiting earth with a bestselling book and successful feature film called “Chariots of The Gods.”
    The Clarion Ledger (1996)

    ANDREWS: I’ll give you an obvious example. There’s no way the culture that existed in Europe even 2,500 years ago had the technology or the slave power or whatever you want to call it to build such incredibly precise monuments as the pyramids. So, the thesis goes that there’s enough of these kinds of anomalies around the Earth to suggest a probable solution is that there’s an extra-terrestrial interaction with our planet going back perhaps tens of thousands of years.

    GEVOIN: And also the study on Antarctica. There are a lot of things going on in Antarctica and we have people who have the most up-to-date information on that.

    I was going to ask if you think the government has files on things like whether there was an Atlantis in Antarctica (being discussed at 2:15 p.m. Friday). Has the government studied this and are they hiding it?

    ANDREWS: Absolutely. What’s going on is, the ice caps are melting and as they’re melting they’re revealing more and more structures. Also, the government’s level of infrared technology has been able to go deeper into the earth to see structures they’ve never been able to see before. It’s no accident that (former Secretary of State) John Kerry just happened to go down to Antarctica a couple months ago.

    But, how do you jump from observing something in infrared to a conclusion that some ancient alien, or the Anunnaki were there?

    Paul Andrews is a producer of Contact in the Desert, which is exploring the theme, "Full Disclosure."

    ANDREWS: I didn’t necessarily make that leap. What I did say is there is some anomalous things that have never been discovered. It goes back to, how did these things get built? Who built them? Peasant slaves on a starvation diet? You mention the Anunnaki and to me they’re key to this whole thing. The Anunnaki were written about extensively by Zachariah Sitchin in his 13-book series. Essentially where his information came from were these ancient clay tablets found first in Mesopotamia but then in other very ancient civilizations. Pretty much they all tell the same story of the Anunnaki coming to Earth and building these structures and mining minerals and creating a hybrid race that was essentially a group of humans in service to the so-called gods. He makes a very strong case. I would say even stronger than Erich Von Daniken. But it’s been carried forward by a number of other people, most notably by Giorgio Tsoukalos.

    MORE: The argument against Sitchin's thesis

    When we’re talking about gold-mining by the Anunnaki, I have to think, why do superior beings need gold? It’s like saying God needs gold in heaven. But you make that a topic of conversation.

    ANDREWS: A number of people propound that thesis based on these tablets that have been transcribed by Stichin and others. So, we include it as part of a broader conversation on UFOs and ancient aliens.

    GEVOIN: It’s important that we show all these different ways to look at these subjects and expose people to new ideas.

    My feeling is, when you even have someone like (attorney) Daniel Sheehan, who has represented the Lakota tribe and investigated Watergate and UFOs, it’s so all-over-the-place you tend to think it’s a gathering of conspiracy theorists.

    ANDREWS: Let’s step back for a second. Daniel Sheehan also represented Harvard Professor John Mack, who wrote one of the best, most academic books on the abduction phenomena, and he documented all of his work. As a result, it created a furor within the Harvard faculty and Daniel Sheehan stepped in to defend him and allowed him to retain his tenure.

    I’m not trying to deprecate Daniel Sheehan, I’m just saying your speakers are all over the map. So, I’m wondering, is the government studying all of these issues and not being transparent, creating a need to show what they’re studying?

    ANDREWS: The key here is disclosure. Everybody who’s in this field in any serious level believes the government isn’t giving us full disclosure of what they know. That’s why Victoria and I decided to make the theme of this year’s show, Full Disclosure. They’re keeping it hidden and discouraging people like us from talking about it.

    So, how much data are they collecting and what is the scope of their research?

    ANDREWS: There’s an excellent book about this by one of our speakers, Michael Sallala, called “Exo Politics (Political Implications of the Extraterrestrial Presence).” It talks about the relationship between government and this phenomenon, and Michael Sallala is a Ph.d. He’s done terrific research on this.

    But has the government researched topics you’re discussing like crop circles and their connections to megalithic monuments around the world? Are they keeping that from us?

    ANDREWS: No. I think the research they’re doing is tied in with the defense establishment: Are these sightings a threat.

    So, how do you make the leap that these monuments…

    ANDREWS: Were built by extraterrestrials? There again, we go back to the clay tablets that were written thousands of years ago that are just now being deciphered.

    GEVOIN: You’ll see a symbol that is clearly an airplane, but (airplanes) didn’t exist hundreds of years ago. So, we use forbidden archaeology to lay the groundwork for study. We’re trying to figure out if what we’re seeing has any connection to these beings flying around, doing astounding things aeronautically.

    I find it interesting that you have a former Congressman, Merrill Cook.

    ANDREWS: He is very supportive of the full disclosure process. He does not believe the government is fully disclosing everything and, when a high-elected official stands up and says he knows for a fact that the government is not disclosing everything they know, people pay attention. That’s one of the reasons people come to our show. They know intuitively there’s something missing and they want someone to verify it for them.

    GEVOIN: Another thing that draws people to the show, there are individuals that have had their own sightings. So, they’re confused. They have no one to talk to. When they come here, they’re surrounded by others who have had these experiences and they share them at what we call the Cosmic Café.

    I’m interested in the disclosure aspect and the fact that it doesn’t seem to be a Republican or a Democratic thing. Luis Elizondo (who the New York Times said ran the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program) quit the Pentagon over lack of disclosure and his program was cut during the Obama Administration. Is the government afraid of giving credibility to this research?

    ANDREWS: Exactly. It’s a nonpartisan issue and it’s tied into defense. There’s a book about this called “Day After Roswell” about how this major in the Air Force was tasked with taking the technology from downed UFOs and feeding it into the American defense industry. I think that’s at the core of it. They feel a lot of this technology is giving them an edge over other countries. They’re helping us develop as a society, but then there’s the abduction phenomenon, which they are powerless to prevent and they don’t want to admit to the American public that they’re powerless.

    So, is our tie to the military-industrial complex making us more secretive than other countries, like England and Australia, which have been more transparent?

    ANDREWS: Yes. We have captured the most downed UFOs. There’s another one captured in Aztec, New Mexico, and there’s a real well-documented book about it, called “The Aztec (UFO) Incident” (by Ramsey Scott and Suzanne Ramsey). There’s a blanket of secrecy that has been thrown over all of this stuff.

    You have some talks on a UFO crash in Brazil. Why is that significant?

    GEVOIN: I thought it would be fascinating to sit down with a panel of individuals and let each one talk about their country. This is a worldwide thing. We’ve got A.J. Javaerd from Brazil, Clifford Mahooty (a Zuni Pueblo leader) talking about the Native Americans and their history with the star people, Hugh Newman (a British author on ancient origins), Paul Stonehill (a U.S.S.R. native) who’s talking about Russia, Freddy Silva (who leads international tours of sacred sites).

    ANDREWS: Nick Pope was in British intelligence. He’s well known for the Rendlesham Forest event.

    GEVOIN: There is a changing within all of us right now, a transformation experience, and our brain is just not able to keep up with everything that’s going on. So, what’s happening is, we feel this shift in our consciousness and we also feel it may have some connection to why all of a sudden more and more people are experiencing abductions or seeing UFOs.

    How is an overload of information related to abductions?

    GEVOIN: That’s a really good question. I was thinking about this the other day and I was wondering if it was because we are becoming more aware. More awake. These beings have found they can control the way you see things in this reality. I believe they use your consciousness when you’re not present. You know when you’re in your car and you’re not "there" and all of a sudden you’re "there"? I feel like when you’re in that space they can make you see whatever. Somehow there’s a connection.

    You have a workshop on abductions and alien hybrid programs.  What are you teaching there?

    GEVOIN: Just what they look like, how they think, what they do.

    ANDREWS: A lot more people than you think have had the abduction experience and most of them, when they come back from it, there’s an element of missing time and missing memory. So, why is this happening and why can’t the people who have had this experience remember all the details? This panel is dedicated to going into all the reasons why people have problems remembering what happened.

    There’s also been an increase in the number of borderline personality disorder cases, where people make up their own histories.

    ANDREWS: I’ve interviewed kids who are 6, 7 and 8 years old who have had an experience and have pretty good recall of it, and they’re not trying to write a book. They’re not trying to convince anybody. They’re just telling us openly from their heart what happened to them and asking us to empathize and believe what they said. I see that over and over again.

    Google Maps: Alien hunters discover UFO CRASH landing on uninhabited South Pole island

    GOOGLE MAPS: Alien hunters have discovered a suspected UFO crash landing site on an uninhabited island in Antartica. The mysterious “cigar shaped” objects points to proof of aliens inhabiting Earth.

    Google Maps is an unbeatable resource for alien hunters, allowing a curious user to hunt for proof of aliens or UFOs all over the world.

    While previously extraterrestrial activity may have taken place under the radar, in areas where humans do not go, Google Maps cameras give the game away.

    Now popular alien hunters at YouTube channel secureteam claim to have discovered an alien somewhere very remote indeed: in the depths of the Antartica.

    In a video entitled “What crash landed over the Antarctic?”, alien hunter Tyler puts forward a compelling argument for this object being a UFO sighting

    Narrating over the video, he explained that he had discovered a mysterious “crash landing”.

    An alien hunter has found a suspected UFO in Antarctica on Google Maps

    He described it as: “A small stretch of icy mountains separated from the continent and surrounded by frigid waters where it appears something has crash landed down on the snowy plains below.

    “What appears to me to be some sort of cigar shaped object that came to halt in the snow leaving behind it a thousand metre long trail.”

    In the video, Tyler then goes on to follow the trail, investigating “what it leads to”.

    “You’ll notice that leading back from the trail that this object created, moving across the snow and ice, it appears as if there’s some damage that has been done to the side of the mountain, leaving behind debris,” he said.

    While many assume an object cutting through the snow is a sleigh, he explains this absolutely cannot be the case due to its vast size.

    “Looks like it was created by something flat with wheels on it," he added.

    "This object is definitely not a sleigh because the object itself is 63 metres from end to end.”

    Finally, he refers to the apparent lack of any human activity at all on the island.

    “One thing’s for sure, I don’t see any other tracks or any evidence to believe this island has been visited by mankind.”

    The coordinates are 54°39'44.62"S 36°11'42.47"W if you wish to look around yourself. However, this isn’t the first time suspected alien life has been discovered on Google Maps.

    Google Maps: If you pan out you can see the debris said to be left by a crash

    Earlier this year, an alien UFO was spotted on Google Maps, also in Antartica, and subsequently went viral on the internet.

    With its snowy mountains, sub zero temperatures and mysterious rising mists, the South Pole might seem like a safe hiding place for something as top secret as a spacecraft.

    However, it’s bad luck for the suspected aliens, whose UFO may have been caught on camera, according to YouTube channel Secure Team.

    The channel owners, who are devoted to alien hunting, have suggested this circle spotted peeking out of the mountains is a “flying saucer” style UFO.

    With its defined glowing white outer rim and circular shape, the footage certainly resembles previous images of suspected UFOs.

    Thanks to its dark colour, the UFO blends in with the dark coloured mountain it is hiding underneath.

    FOO FIGHTERS: UFOS IN WORLD WAR II

    Even before pilot Kenneth Arnold saw strange craft skipping through the air like flying saucers in 1947, people were spotting strange objects zipping across the sky. No one is in a better position to see a UFO than a pilot, and when the fighter pilots of World War II started seeing mysterious lights zooming past them, a new phenomenon was born: Foo Fighters.

    UFOS: NAZI WEAPONS?

    It’s nighttime, and the pilot is flying near the border of Nazi Germany. Without warning, a luminous red ball zooms nearby, moving far too fast for him to identify—much less give chase.

    So many World War II pilots saw strange zooming orbs high in the skies that for a while, they presumed they were dealing with a new Nazi weapon. They rarely varied in appearance: they were round and multicolored, often fiery red. Sightings became an almost-routine feature in mission reports; one early report reads:

    Saw a brilliant red light at 2000 feet going E at 200 MPH in the vicinity of Erstein. Due to AI failure could not pick up contact but followed it by sight until it went out. Could not get close enough to identify object before it went out.

    Intelligence investigations revealed that similar sightings were being made by German and Japanese pilots as well, so the Allies were relieved to learn that they didn’t have a new weapon to contend with. The Foo Fighters never seemed to act aggressively or threaten attack; they would appear, almost taunting pilots with their superior speed and maneuverability, then dart out of sight.

    LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS!—BUT TALK ABOUT FOO FIGHTERS ALL YOU WANT

    Smokey Stover

    Cartoon Character Smokey Stover Gave the Foo Fighters Their Name

    Spies were everywhere in World War II, and soldiers everywhere were admonished to keep their mouths shut about missions and plans; there could be dire consequences. “Loose Lips Sink Ships!” read one common poster of the era.

    It’s a surprise, then, that military censors apparently had no problem with newspaper reporters writing about Foo Fighters. Most of the articles reported the orbs as being transparent or silver, instead of the red or multicolored balls of light the pilots actually said they saw. Newspapers often claimed the Foo Fighters were a “new Nazi weapon” rather than the complete mystery that they really were.

    The media did a lot to propagate the name “Foo Fighters“, which had originally been inspired by the popular comic Smokey Stover. In the comics, Smokey, a fireman, referred to fire as “foo” for no apparent reason, and fancied himself to be a “foo fighter”. Radar operator Donald Meiers, a Smokey Stover fan, is credited for first using the Foo Fighter name to refer to the UFOs—this is years before the terms “unidentified flying object” and even “flying saucer” were coined.

    WHAT WERE THEY, REALLY?

    Surprise: it’s an unsolved mystery. There’s a pattern with UFO sightings: they’re reported and recorded, and then denier-skeptics make up mundane explanations for the extraordinary experiences of witnesses. After that, the sightings are completely dismissed (“it was just a weather balloon, dude, everyone knows that”). In later years, UFO sightings would be explained away as swamp gas and maybe misidentifications of the planet Venus, but skeptics had other excuses to account for Foo Fighters.

    Foo Fighter Clipping

    Chief among the invented explanations: St. Elmo’s Fire, a weather phenomenon that mainly occurs during thunderstorms. The fact that most or all of the Foo Fighter sightings occurred when no thunderstorms were actually present did not deter the deniers.

    Other denying skeptics tried to pawn off Foo Fighters as mere reflections from ice crystals, an “explanation” that has a multitude of problems: ice crystals don’t zoom off at 200 MPH, and there were many Foo Fighter sightings in the South Pacific war theater, where the likelihood of ice forming in the atmosphere is remote.

    Worst of all for the denying skeptics: the Foo Fighters would sometimes be spotted on radar, and would be seen to be moving at near-impossible speeds. Ice crystals and weather phenomena do not, in fact, appear on radar screens.

    SO WAIT, WHAT ABOUT THE BAND?

    Foo Fighters

    The band The Foo Fighters does, of course, get its name from the phenomenon. “Around the time that I recorded the first FF tape,” founder Dave Grohl told an interviewer, “I was reading a lot of books on UFOs. Not only is it a fascinating subject, but there’s a treasure trove of band names in those UFO books!” he said.

    “So, since I had recorded the first record by myself, playing all the instruments, but I wanted people to think that it was a group, I figured that ‘Foo Fighters’ might lead people to believe that it was more than just one guy. Silly, huh?”

    Unidentified flying object(ufo)- PART I

    An unidentified flying object or "UFO" is an object perceived in the sky that is not readily identified. Most UFOs are later identified as conventional objects or phenomena. The term is widely used for claimed observations of extraterrestrial craft.

    An unidentified flying object or "UFO" is an object perceived in the sky that is not readily identified. Most UFOs are later identified as conventional objects or phenomena. The term is widely used for claimed observations of extraterrestrial craft.

    Terminology

    The term "UFO" (or "UFOB") was coined in 1953 by the United States Air Force (USAF) to serve as a catch-all for all such reports. In its initial definition, the USAF stated that a "UFOB" was "any airborne object which by performance, aerodynamic characteristics, or unusual features, does not conform to any presently known aircraft or missile type, or which cannot be positively identified as a familiar object." Accordingly, the term was initially restricted to that fraction of cases which remained unidentified after investigation, as the USAF was interested in potential national security reasons and/or "technical aspects" (see Air Force Regulation 200-2).
    During the late 1940s and through the 1950s, UFOs were often referred to popularly as "flying saucers" or "flying discs". The term UFO became more widespread during the 1950s, at first in technical literature, but later in popular use. UFOs garnered considerable interest during the Cold War, an era associated with a heightened concern for national security, and, more recently, in the 2010s, for unexplained reasons.[1][2] Nevertheless, various studies have concluded that the phenomenon does not represent a threat to national security, nor does it contain anything worthy of scientific pursuit (e.g., 1951 Flying Saucer Working Party, 1953 CIA Robertson Panel, USAF Project Blue BookCondon Committee).
    The Oxford English Dictionary defines a UFO as "An unidentified flying object; a 'flying saucer'." The first published book to use the word was authored by Donald E. Keyhoe.[3]
    The acronym "UFO" was coined by Captain Edward J. Ruppelt, who headed Project Blue Book, then the USAF's official investigation of UFOs. He wrote, "Obviously the term 'flying saucer' is misleading when applied to objects of every conceivable shape and performance. For this reason the military prefers the more general, if less colorful, name: unidentified flying objects. UFO (pronounced Yoo-foe) for short."[4] Other phrases that were used officially and that predate the UFO acronym include "flying flapjack", "flying disc", "unexplained flying discs", and "unidentifiable object".[5][6][7]
    The phrase "flying saucer" had gained widespread attention after the summer of 1947. On June 24, a civilian pilot named Kenneth Arnold reported seeing nine objects flying in formation near Mount Rainier. Arnold timed the sighting and estimated the speed of discs to be over 1,200 mph (1,931 km/h). At the time, he claimed he described the objects flying in a saucer-like fashion, leading to newspaper accounts of "flying saucers" and "flying discs".[8][9]
    In popular usage, the term UFO came to be used to refer to claims of alien spacecraft.[3] and because of the public and media ridicule associated with the topic, some ufologists and investigators prefer to use terms such as "unidentified aerial phenomenon" (UAP) or "anomalous phenomena", as in the title of the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena (NARCAP).[10] "Anomalous aerial vehicle" (AAV) or "unidentified aerial system" (UAS) are also sometimes used in a military aviation context to describe unidentified targets.[11]

    Studies

    Studies have established that the majority of UFO observations are misidentified conventional objects or natural phenomena—most commonly aircraft, balloons, noctilucent cloudsnacreous clouds, or astronomical objects such as meteors or bright planets with a small percentage even being hoaxes.[note 1] Between 5% and 20% of reported sightings are not explained, and therefore can be classified as unidentified in the strictest sense. While proponents of the extraterrestrial hypothesis (ETH) suggest that these unexplained reports are of alien spacecraft, the null hypothesis cannot be excluded that these reports are simply other more prosaic phenomena that cannot be identified due to lack of complete information or due to the necessary subjectivity of the reports.
    Almost no scientific papers about UFOs have been published in peer-reviewed journals.[12] There was, in the past, some debate in the scientific community about whether any scientific investigation into UFO sightings is warranted with the general conclusion being that the phenomenon was not worthy of serious investigation except as a cultural artifact.[13][14][15][16][17][18][19] UFOs have been the subject of investigations by various governments who have provided extensive records related to the subject. Many of the most involved government-sponsored investigations ended after agencies concluded that there was no benefit to continued investigation.[20][21]
    The void left by the lack of institutional or scientific study has given rise to independent researchers and fringe groups, including the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) in the mid-20th century and, more recently, the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON)[22] and the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS).[23] The term "Ufology" is used to describe the collective efforts of those who study reports and associated evidence of unidentified flying objects.[24]
    UFOs have become a prevalent theme in modern culture,[25] and the social phenomena have been the subject of academic research in sociology and psychology.[12]

    Early history

    Unexplained aerial observations have been reported throughout history. Some were undoubtedly astronomical in nature: comets, bright meteors, one or more of the five planets that can be readily seen with the naked eye, planetary conjunctions, or atmospheric optical phenomena such as parhelia and lenticular clouds. An example is Halley's Comet, which was recorded first by Chinese astronomers in 240 BC and possibly as early as 467 BC. Such sightings throughout history often were treated as supernatural portents, angels, or other religious omens. Some current-day UFO researchers have noticed similarities between some religious symbols in medieval paintings and UFO reports[26] though the canonical and symbolic character of such images is documented by art historians placing more conventional religious interpretations on such images.[27]
    • On April 14, 1561, residents of Nuremberg described the appearance of a large black triangular object. According to witnesses, there were also hundreds of spheres, cylinders and other odd-shaped objects that moved erratically overhead.[28]
    • On January 25, 1878, the Denison Daily News printed an article in which John Martin, a local farmer, had reported seeing a large, dark, circular object resembling a balloon flying "at wonderful speed." Martin, according to the newspaper account, said it appeared to be about the size of a saucer, the first known use of the word "saucer" in association with a UFO.[29]
    • In April 1897, thousands of people reported seeing "airships" in various parts of the United States. Many signed affidavits. Scores of people even reported talking to the pilots. Thomas Edison was asked his opinion, and said, "You can take it from me that it is a pure fake."[30][31]
    • On February 28, 1904, there was a sighting by three crew members on the USS Supply 300 miles (483 km) west of San Francisco, reported by Lieutenant Frank Schofield, later to become Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Battle Fleet. Schofield wrote of three bright red egg-shaped and circular objects flying in echelon formation that approached beneath the cloud layer, then changed course and "soared" above the clouds, departing directly away from the earth after two to three minutes. The largest had an apparent size of about six Suns, he said.[32][33]
    • The three earliest known pilot UFO sightings, of 1,305 similar sightings catalogued by NARCAP, took place in 1916 and 1926. On January 31, 1916, a UK pilot near Rochfordreported a row of lights, resembling lighted windows on a railway carriage, that rose and disappeared. In January 1926 a pilot reported six "flying manhole covers" between Wichita, Kansas, and Colorado Springs, Colorado. In late September 1926 an airmail pilot over Nevada said he had been forced to land by a huge, wingless, cylindrical object.[34]
    • On August 5, 1926, while traveling in the Humboldt Mountains of Tibet's Kokonor region, Russian explorer Nicholas Roerich reported, members of his expedition saw "something big and shiny reflecting the sun, like a huge oval moving at great speed. Crossing our camp the thing changed in its direction from south to southwest. And we saw how it disappeared in the intense blue sky. We even had time to take our field glasses and saw quite distinctly an oval form with shiny surface, one side of which was brilliant from the sun."[35] Another description by Roerich was of a "shiny body flying from north to south. Field glasses are at hand. It is a huge body. One side glows in the sun. It is oval in shape. Then it somehow turns in another direction and disappears in the southwest."[36]
    • In the Pacific and European theatres during World War II, "foo fighters" (metallic spheres, balls of light and other shapes that followed aircraft) were reported and on occasion photographed by Allied and Axis pilots. Some proposed Allied explanations at the time included St. Elmo's fire, the planet Venus, hallucinations from oxygen deprivation, or German secret weapons.[37][38]
    • In 1946, more than 2,000 reports were collected, primarily by the Swedish military, of unidentified aerial objects over the Scandinavian nations, along with isolated reports from France, Portugal, Italy and Greece. The objects were referred to as "Russian hail" and later as "ghost rockets" because it was thought that the mysterious objects were possibly Russian tests of captured German V1 or V2 rockets. Although most were thought to be such natural phenomena as meteors, more than 200 were tracked on radar by the Swedish military and deemed to be "real physical objects." In a 1948 top secret document, Swedish authorities advised the USAF Europe that some of their investigators believed these craft to be extraterrestrial in origin.[39]

    Investigations

    UFOs have been subject to investigations over the years that varied widely in scope and scientific rigor. Governments or independent academics in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, Peru, France, Belgium, Sweden, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Mexico, Spain, and the Soviet Union are known to have investigated UFO reports at various times.
    Among the best known government studies are the ghost rockets investigation by the Swedish military (1946–1947), Project Blue Book, previously Project Sign and Project Grudge, conducted by the USAF from 1947 until 1969, the secret U.S. Army/Air Force Project Twinkle investigation into green fireballs (1948–1951), the secret USAF Project Blue Book Special Report No. 14[40] by the Battelle Memorial Institute, and the Brazilian Air Force's 1977 Operação Prato (Operation Saucer). France has had an ongoing investigation (GEPAN/SEPRA/GEIPAN) within its space agency Centre national d'études spatiales (CNES) since 1977; the government of Uruguay has had a similar investigation since 1989.

    Project Sign

    Project Sign in 1948 produced a highly classified finding (see Estimate of the Situation) that the best UFO reports probably had an extraterrestrial explanation. A top secret Swedish military opinion given to the USAF in 1948 stated that some of their analysts believed that the 1946 ghost rockets and later flying saucers had extraterrestrial origins. (For document, see Ghost rockets.) In 1954 German rocket scientist Hermann Oberth revealed that an internal West German government investigation, which he headed, had arrived at an extraterrestrial conclusion, but this study was never made public.

    Project Grudge

    Project Sign was dismantled and became Project Grudge at the end of 1948. Angered by the low quality of investigations by Grudge, the Air Force Director of Intelligence reorganized it as Project Blue Book in late 1951, placing Ruppelt in charge. Blue Book closed down in 1970, using the Condon Committee's negative conclusion as a rationale, thus ending official Air Force UFO investigations. However, a 1969 USAF document, known as the Bolender memo, along with later government documents, revealed that non-public U.S. government UFO investigations continued after 1970. The Bolender memo first stated that "reports of unidentified flying objects that could affect national security ... are not part of the Blue Book system," indicating that more serious UFO incidents already were handled outside the public Blue Book investigation. The memo then added, "reports of UFOs which could affect national security would continue to be handled through the standard Air Force procedures designed for this purpose."[note 2] In addition, in the late 1960s a chapter on UFOs in the Space Sciences course at the U.S. Air Force Academy gave serious consideration to possible extraterrestrial origins. When word of the curriculum became public, the Air Force in 1970 issued a statement to the effect that the book was outdated and that cadets instead were being informed of the Condon Report's negative conclusion.[41]

    USAF Regulation 200-2

    Air Force Regulation 200-2,[42] issued in 1953 and 1954, defined an Unidentified Flying Object ("UFOB") as "any airborne object which by performance, aerodynamic characteristics, or unusual features, does not conform to any presently known aircraft or missile type, or which cannot be positively identified as a familiar object." The regulation also said UFOBs were to be investigated as a "possible threat to the security of the United States" and "to determine technical aspects involved." The regulation went on to say that "it is permissible to inform news media representatives on UFOB's when the object is positively identified as a familiar object," but added: "For those objects which are not explainable, only the fact that ATIC [Air Technical Intelligence Center] will analyze the data is worthy of release, due to many unknowns involved."[42]

    Project Blue Book

    Allen Hynek (left) and Jacques Vallée
    J. Allen Hynek, a trained astronomer who served as a scientific advisor for Project Blue Book, was initially skeptical of UFO reports, but eventually came to the conclusion that many of them could not be satisfactorily explained and was highly critical of what he described as "the cavalier disregard by Project Blue Book of the principles of scientific investigation."[43] Leaving government work, he founded the privately funded CUFOS, to whose work he devoted the rest of his life. Other private groups studying the phenomenon include the MUFON, a grass roots organization whose investigator's handbooks go into great detail on the documentation of alleged UFO sightings.
    Like Hynek, Jacques Vallée, a scientist and prominent UFO researcher, has pointed to what he believes is the scientific deficiency of most UFO research, including government studies. He complains of the mythology and cultism often associated with the phenomenon, but alleges that several hundred professional scientists—a group both he and Hynek have termed "the invisible college"—continue to study UFOs in private.[25]

    Scientific studies

    The study of UFOs has received little support in mainstream scientific literature. Official studies ended in the U.S. in December 1969, following the statement by the government scientist Edward Condon that further study of UFOs could not be justified on grounds of scientific advancement.[15][44] The Condon Report and its conclusions were endorsed by the National Academy of Scientists, of which Condon was a member. On the other hand, a scientific review by the UFO subcommittee of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) disagreed with Condon's conclusion, noting that at least 30 percent of the cases studied remained unexplained and that scientific benefit might be gained by continued study.
    Critics argue that all UFO evidence is anecdotal[45] and can be explained as prosaic natural phenomena. Defenders of UFO research counter that knowledge of observational data, other than what is reported in the popular media, is limited in the scientific community and that further study is needed.[25][46]
    No official government investigation has ever publicly concluded that UFOs are indisputably real, physical objects, extraterrestrial in origin, or of concern to national defense. These same negative conclusions also have been found in studies that were highly classified for many years, such as the UK's Flying Saucer Working PartyProject Condign, the U.S. CIA-sponsored Robertson Panel, the U.S. military investigation into the green fireballs from 1948 to 1951, and the Battelle Memorial Institute study for the USAF from 1952 to 1955 (Project Blue Book Special Report No. 14).
    Some public government reports have acknowledged the possibility of physical reality of UFOs, but have stopped short of proposing extraterrestrial origins, though not dismissing the possibility entirely. Examples are the Belgian military investigation into large triangles over their airspace in 1989–1991 and the 2009 Uruguayan Air Force study conclusion (see below).
    Some private studies have been neutral in their conclusions, but argued that the inexplicable core cases call for continued scientific study. Examples are the Sturrock panel study of 1998 and the 1970 AIAA review of the Condon Report.

    United States

    U.S. investigations into UFOs include:
    • The Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit (IPU), established by the U.S. Army sometime in the 1940s, and about which little is known. In 1987, British UFO researcher Timothy Good received from the Army's director of counter-intelligence a letter confirming the existence of the IPU. The letter stated that "the aforementioned Army unit was disestablished during the late 1950s and never reactivated. All records pertaining to this unit were surrendered to the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations in conjunction with operation BLUEBOOK." The IPU records have never been released.[47]
    • Project Blue Book, previously Project Sign and Project Grudge, conducted by the USAF from 1947 until 1969
    • The secret U.S. Army/Air Force Project Twinkle investigation into green fireballs (1948–1951)
    • Ghost rockets investigations by the Swedish, UK, U.S., and Greek militaries (1946–1947)
    • The secret CIA Office of Scientific Investigation (OS/I) study (1952–53)
    • The secret CIA Robertson Panel (1953)
    • The secret USAF Project Blue Book Special Report No. 14 by the Battelle Memorial Institute (1951–1954)
    • The Brookings Report (1960), commissioned by NASA
    • The public Condon Committee (1966–1968)
    • The private, internal RAND Corporation study (1968)[48]
    • The private Sturrock panel (1998)
    • The secret Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program which was funded from 2007 to 2012.[49]
    Thousands of documents released under FOIA also indicate that many U.S. intelligence agencies collected (and still collect) information on UFOs. These agencies include the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), FBI,[7] CIA, National Security Agency (NSA), as well as military intelligence agencies of the Army and U.S. Navy, in addition to the Air Force.[note 3]
    The investigation of UFOs has also attracted many civilians, who in the U.S formed research groups such as NICAP (active 1956–1980), Aerial Phenomena Research Organization(APRO) (active 1952–1988), MUFON (active 1969–), and CUFOS (active 1973–).
    In November 2011, the White House released an official response to two petitions asking the U.S. government to acknowledge formally that aliens have visited this planet and to disclose any intentional withholding of government interactions with extraterrestrial beings. According to the response, "The U.S. government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race."[50][51] Also, according to the response, there is "no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public's eye."[50][51] The response further noted that efforts, like SETI and NASA's Kepler space telescope and Mars Science Laboratory, continue looking for signs of life. The response noted "odds are pretty high" that there may be life on other planets but "the odds of us making contact with any of them—especially any intelligent ones—are extremely small, given the distances involved."[50][51]

    Post-1947 sightings

    Following the large U.S. surge in sightings in June and early July 1947, on July 9, 1947, United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) intelligence, in cooperation with the FBI,[7] began a formal investigation into selected sightings with characteristics that could not be immediately rationalized, such as Kenneth Arnold's. The USAAF used "all of its top scientists" to determine whether "such a phenomenon could, in fact, occur." The research was "being conducted with the thought that the flying objects might be a celestial phenomenon," or that "they might be a foreign body mechanically devised and controlled."[52] Three weeks later in a preliminary defense estimate, the air force investigation decided that, "This 'flying saucer' situation is not all imaginary or seeing too much in some natural phenomenon. Something is really flying around."[53]
    A further review by the intelligence and technical divisions of the Air Materiel Command at Wright Field reached the same conclusion. It reported that "the phenomenon is something real and not visionary or fictitious," that there were objects in the shape of a disc, metallic in appearance, and as big as man-made aircraft. They were characterized by "extreme rates of climb [and] maneuverability," general lack of noise, absence of trail, occasional formation flying, and "evasive" behavior "when sighted or contacted by friendly aircraft and radar," suggesting a controlled craft. It was therefore recommended in late September 1947 that an official Air Force investigation be set up to investigate the phenomenon. It was also recommended that other government agencies should assist in the investigation.[note 4]

    Project Sign

    This led to the creation of the Air Force's Project Sign at the end of 1947, one of the earliest government studies to come to a secret extraterrestrial conclusion. In August 1948, Sign investigators wrote a top-secret intelligence estimate to that effect, but the Air Force Chief of Staff Hoyt Vandenberg ordered it destroyed. The existence of this suppressed report was revealed by several insiders who had read it, such as astronomer and USAF consultant J. Allen Hynek and Capt. Edward J. Ruppelt, the first head of the USAF's Project Blue Book.[54]
    Another highly classified U.S. study was conducted by the CIA's Office of Scientific Investigation (OS/I) in the latter half of 1952 in response to orders from the National Security Council (NSC). This study concluded UFOs were real physical objects of potential threat to national security. One OS/I memo to the CIA Director (DCI) in December read:
    the reports of incidents convince us that there is something going on that must have immediate attention ... Sightings of unexplained objects at great altitudes and traveling at high speeds in the vicinity of major U.S. defense installations are of such a nature that they are not attributable to natural phenomena or any known types of aerial vehicles.
    The matter was considered so urgent that OS/I drafted a memorandum from the DCI to the NSC proposing that the NSC establish an investigation of UFOs as a priority project throughout the intelligence and the defense research and development community. It also urged the DCI to establish an external research project of top-level scientists, now known as the Robertson Panel to analyze the problem of UFOs. The OS/I investigation was called off after the Robertson Panel's negative conclusions in January 1953.[55]

    Condon Committee

    A public research effort conducted by the Condon Committee for the USAF, which arrived at a negative conclusion in 1968, marked the end of the U.S. government's official investigation of UFOs, though various government intelligence agencies continue unofficially to investigate or monitor the situation.[note 5]
    Controversy has surrounded the Condon Report, both before and after it was released. It has been observed that the report was "harshly criticized by numerous scientists, particularly at the powerful AIAA ... [which] recommended moderate, but continuous scientific work on UFOs."[15] In an address to the AAASJames E. McDonald stated that he believed science had failed to mount adequate studies of the problem and criticized the Condon Report and earlier studies by the USAF as scientifically deficient. He also questioned the basis for Condon's conclusions[56] and argued that the reports of UFOs have been "laughed out of scientific court."[14] J. Allen Hynek, an astronomer who worked as a USAF consultant from 1948, sharply criticized the Condon Committee Report and later wrote two nontechnical books that set forth the case for continuing to investigate UFO reports.
    Ruppelt recounted his experiences with Project Blue Book, a USAF investigation that preceded Condon's.[57]

    Notable cases

    Document on sighting of a UFO occurred on December 16, 1977, in the state of BahiaBrazil.

    Brazil

    On October 31, 2008, the National Archives of Brazil began receiving from the Aeronautical Documentation and History Center part of the documentation of the Brazilian Air Force regarding the investigation of the appearance of UFOs in Brazil. Currently this collection gathers cases between 1952 and 2016.[58]

    Canada

    In Canada, the Department of National Defence has dealt with reports, sightings and investigations of UFOs across Canada. In addition to conducting investigations into crop circles in Duhamel, Alberta, it still considers "unsolved" the Falcon Lake incident in Manitoba and the Shag Harbour UFO incident in Nova Scotia.[59]
    Early Canadian studies included Project Magnet (1950–1954) and Project Second Storey (1952–1954), supported by the Defence Research Board.

    Unidentified flying object(ufo)- PART II

    An unidentified flying object or "UFO" is an object perceived in the sky that is not readily identified. Most UFOs are later identified as conventional objects or phenomena. The term is widely used for claimed observations of extraterrestrial craft.

    France

    On March 2007, the French space agency CNES published an archive of UFO sightings and other phenomena online.[60]
    French studies include GEPAN/SEPRA/GEIPAN (1977–), within CNES (French space agency), the longest ongoing government-sponsored investigation. About 22% of 6000 cases studied remain unexplained.[61] The official opinion of GEPAN/SEPRA/GEIPAN has been neutral, stating on their FAQ page that their mission is fact-finding for the scientific community, not rendering an opinion. They add they can neither prove nor disprove the Exterrestrial Hypothesis (ETH), but their Steering Committee's clear position is that they cannot discard the possibility that some fraction of the very strange 22% of unexplained cases might be due to distant and advanced civilizations.[62] Possibly their bias may be indicated by their use of the terms "PAN" (French) or "UAP" (English equivalent) for "Unidentified Aerospace Phenomenon" (whereas "UAP" as normally used by English organizations stands for "Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon", a more neutral term). In addition, the three heads of the studies have gone on record in stating that UFOs were real physical flying machines beyond our knowledge or that the best explanation for the most inexplicable cases was an extraterrestrial one.[63][64][65]
    In 2008, Michel Scheller, president of the Association Aéronautique et Astronautique de France (3AF), created the Sigma Commission. Its purpose was to investigate UFO phenomenon worldwide.[66] A progress report published in May 2010 stated that the central hypothesis proposed by the COMETA report is perfectly credible.[67] In December 2012, the final report of the Sigma Commission was submitted to Scheller. Following the submission of the final report, the Sigma2 Commission is to be formed with a mandate to continue the scientific investigation of UFO phenomenon.[68][69]
    The most notable cases of UFO sightings in France include the Valensole UFO incident in 1965, and the Trans-en-Provence Case in 1981.

    Italy

    According to some Italian ufologists, the first documented case of a UFO sighting in Italy dates back to April 11, 1933, to Varese. Documents of the time show that an alleged UFO crashed or landed near Vergiate. Following this, Benito Mussolini created a secret group to look at it, called Cabinet RS/33.[70][71]
    Alleged UFO sightings gradually increased since the war, peaking in 1978 and 2005. The total number of sightings since 1947 are 18,500, of which 90% are identifiable.[72]
    In 2000, Italian ufologist Roberto Pinotti published material regarding the so-called "Fascist UFO Files", which dealt with a flying saucer that had crashed near Milan in 1933 (some 14 years before the Roswell, New Mexico, crash), and of the subsequent investigation by a never mentioned before Cabinet RS/33, that allegedly was authorized by Benito Mussolini, and headed by the Nobel scientist Guglielmo Marconi. A spaceship was allegedly stored in the hangars of the SIAI Marchetti in Vergiate near Milan.[73]
    Julius Obsequens was a Roman writer who is believed to have lived in the middle of the fourth century AD. The only work associated with his name is the Liber de prodigiis (Book of Prodigies), completely extracted from an epitome, or abridgment, written by LivyDe prodigiis was constructed as an account of the wonders and portents that occurred in Romebetween 249 BC-12 BC. An aspect of Obsequens' work that has inspired much interest in some circles is that references are made to things moving through the sky. These have been interpreted as reports of UFOs, but may just as well describe meteors, and, since Obsequens, probably, writes in the 4th century, that is, some 400 years after the events he describes, they hardly qualify as eye-witness accounts.[74][75]

    Notable cases

    • A UFO sighting in Florence, October 28, 1954, followed by a fall of angel hair.[76]
    • In 1973, an Alitalia airplane left Rome for Naples sighted a mysterious round object. Two Italian Air Force planes from Ciampino confirmed the sighting.[77] In the same year there was another sighting at Caselle airport near Turin.[78]
    • In 1978, two young hikers, while walking on Monte Musinè near Turin, saw a bright light; one of them temporarily disappeared and, after a while, was found in a state of shock and with a noticeable scald on one leg. After regaining consciousness, he reported having seen an elongated vehicle and that some strangely shaped beings descended from it. Both the young hikers suffered from conjunctivitis for some time.[79]
    • close encounter reported in September 1978 in Torrita di Siena in the Province of Siena. A young motorist saw in front of him a bright object, two beings of small stature who wore suits and helmets, the two approached the car, and after watching it carefully went back and rose again to the UFO. A boy who lived with his family in a country house not far from there said he had seen at the same time "a kind of small reddish sun".[80]
    • Yet in 1978, there has been also the story of Pier Fortunato Zanfretta, the best known and most controversial case of an Italian alleged alien abduction. Zanfretta said to have been kidnapped on the night of 6 December and 7 December while he was performing his job at Marzano, in the municipality of Torriglia in the Province of Genoa;[81] 52 testimonies of the case from other people were collected.[81]

    United Kingdom

    The UK's Flying Saucer Working Party published its final report in June 1951, which remained secret for over 50 years. The Working Party concluded that all UFO sightings could be explained as misidentifications of ordinary objects or phenomena, optical illusions, psychological misperceptions/aberrations, or hoaxes. The report stated: "We accordingly recommend very strongly that no further investigation of reported mysterious aerial phenomena be undertaken, unless and until some material evidence becomes available."[82]
    Eight file collections on UFO sightings, dating from 1978 to 1987, were first released on May 14, 2008, to The National Archives by the Ministry of Defence (MoD).[83] Although kept secret from the public for many years, most of the files have low levels of classification and none are classified Top Secret. 200 files are set to be made public by 2012. The files are correspondence from the public sent to the British government and officials, such as the MoD and Margaret Thatcher. The MoD released the files under the Freedom of Information Act due to requests from researchers.[84] These files include, but are not limited to, UFOs over Liverpool and the Waterloo Bridge in London.[85]
    On October 20, 2008, more UFO files were released. One case released detailed that in 1991 an Alitalia passenger aircraft was approaching London Heathrow Airport when the pilots saw what they described as a "cruise missile" fly extremely close to the cockpit. The pilots believed that a collision was imminent. UFO expert David Clarke says that this is one of the most convincing cases for a UFO he has come across.[86]
    A secret study of UFOs was undertaken for the Ministry of Defence between 1996 and 2000 and was code-named Project Condign. The resulting report, titled "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in the UK Defence Region", was publicly released in 2006, but the identity and credentials of whomever constituted Project Condign remains classified. The report confirmed earlier findings that the main causes of UFO sightings are misidentification of man-made and natural objects. The report noted: "No artefacts of unknown or unexplained origin have been reported or handed to the UK authorities, despite thousands of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena reports. There are no SIGINTELINT or radiation measurements and little useful video or still IMINT." It concluded: "There is no evidence that any UAP, seen in the UKADR [UK Air Defence Region], are incursions by air-objects of any intelligent (extraterrestrial or foreign) origin, or that they represent any hostile intent." A little-discussed conclusion of the report was that novel meteorological plasma phenomenon akin to ball lightning are responsible for "the majority, if not all" of otherwise inexplicable sightings, especially reports of black triangle UFOs.[87]
    On December 1, 2009, the Ministry of Defence quietly closed down its UFO investigations unit. The unit's hotline and email address were suspended by the MoD on that date. The MoD said there was no value in continuing to receive and investigate sightings in a release, stating
    in over fifty years, no UFO report has revealed any evidence of a potential threat to the United Kingdom. The MoD has no specific capability for identifying the nature of such sightings. There is no Defence benefit in such investigation and it would be an inappropriate use of defence resources. Furthermore, responding to reported UFO sightings diverts MoD resources from tasks that are relevant to Defence."
    The Guardian reported that the MoD claimed the closure would save the Ministry around £50,000 a year. The MoD said that it would continue to release UFO files to the public through The National Archives.[88]

    Notable cases

    According to records released on August 5, 2010, British wartime prime minister Winston Churchill banned the reporting for 50 years of an alleged UFO incident because of fears it could create mass panic. Reports given to Churchill asserted that the incident involved a Royal Air Force (RAF) reconnaissance aircraft returning from a mission in France or Germany toward the end of World War II. It was over or near the English coastline when it was allegedly intercepted by a strange metallic object that matched the aircraft's course and speed for a time before accelerating away and disappearing. The aircraft's crew were reported to have photographed the object, which they said had "hovered noiselessly" near the aircraft, before moving off.[89] According to the documents, details of the coverup emerged when a man wrote to the government in 1999 seeking to find out more about the incident and described how his grandfather, who had served with the RAF in the war, was present when Churchill and U.S. General Dwight D. Eisenhower discussed how to deal with the UFO encounter.[90][91] The files come from more than 5,000 pages of UFO reports, letters and drawings from members of the public, as well as questions raised in Parliament. They are available to download from The National Archives website.[83]
    In the April 1957 West Freugh incident in Scotland, named after the principal military base involved, two unidentified objects flying high over the UK were tracked by radar operators. The objects were reported to operate at speeds and perform maneuvers beyond the capability of any known craft. Also significant is their alleged size, which – based on the radar returns – was closer to that of a ship than an aircraft.
    In the Rendlesham Forest incident of December 1980, U.S. military personnel witnessed UFOs near the air base at Woodbridge, Suffolk, over a period of three nights. On one night the deputy base commander, Colonel Charles I. Halt, and other personnel followed one or more UFOs that were moving in and above the forest for several hours. Col. Halt made an audio recording while this was happening and subsequently wrote an official memorandum summarizing the incident. After retirement from the military, he said that he had deliberately downplayed the event (officially termed 'Unexplained Lights') to avoid damaging his career. Other base personnel are said to have observed one of the UFOs, which had landed in the forest, and even gone up to and touched it.

    Uruguay

    The Uruguayan Air Force has conducted UFO investigations since 1989 and reportedly analyzed 2,100 cases of which they regard approximately 2% as lacking explanation.[92]

    Astronomer reports

    The USAF's Project Blue Book files indicate that approximately 1%[93] of all unknown reports came from amateur and professional astronomers or other users of telescopes (such as missile trackers or surveyors). In 1952, astronomer J. Allen Hynek, then a consultant to Blue Book, conducted a small survey of 45 fellow professional astronomers. Five reported UFO sightings (about 11%). In the 1970s, astrophysicist Peter A. Sturrock conducted two large surveys of the AIAA and American Astronomical Society (AAS). About 5% of the members polled indicated that they had had UFO sightings.
    Astronomer Clyde Tombaugh, who admitted to six UFO sightings, including three green fireballs, supported the Extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs and stated he thought scientists who dismissed it without study were being "unscientific." Another astronomer was Lincoln LaPaz, who had headed the Air Force's investigation into the green fireballs and other UFO phenomena in New Mexico. LaPaz reported two personal sightings, one of a green fireball, the other of an anomalous disc-like object. (Both Tombaugh and LaPaz were part of Hynek's 1952 survey.) Hynek himself took two photos through the window of a commercial airliner of a disc-like object that seemed to pace his aircraft.[94]
    In 1980, a survey of 1800 members of various amateur astronomer associations by Gert Helb and Hynek for CUFOS found that 24% responded "yes" to the question "Have you ever observed an object which resisted your most exhaustive efforts at identification?"[95]

    Claims of increase in reports

    MUFON reports that UFO sightings to their offices have increased by 67% in the previous three years as of 2011. According to MUFON international director Clifford Clift in 2011, "Over the past year, we've been averaging 500 sighting reports a month, compared to about 300 three years ago [67 percent],".[96][97]
    According to the annual survey of reports conducted by Canadian-based UFO research group Ufology Research, reported UFO sightings doubled in Canada between 2011 and 2012.[98][99]
    In 2013 the Peruvian government's Departamento de Investigación de Fenómenos Aéreos Anómalos (Anomalous Aerial Phenomena Research Department), or "DIFAA", was officially reactivated due to an increase in reported sightings. According to Colonel Julio Vucetich, head of the air force's aerospace interests division who himself claims to have seen an "anomalous aerial object", "On a personal basis, it's evident to me that we are not alone in this world or universe."[100][101]
    In contrast, according to the UK-based Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena (ASSAP), reports of sightings in Britain to their office have declined by 96% since 1988.[102]

    Identification of UFOs

    Fata Morgana, a type of mirage in which objects located below the astronomical horizon appear to be hovering in the sky just above the horizon, may be responsible for some UFO sightings. (Here, the shape floating above the horizon is the reflected image of a boat.) Fata Morgana can also distort the appearance of distant objects, sometimes making them unrecognizable[103]
    Lenticular clouds have in some cases been reported as UFOs due to their peculiar shape
    Studies show that after careful investigation, the majority of UFOs can be identified as ordinary objects or phenomena. The most commonly found identified sources of UFO reports are:
    A 1952–1955 study by the Battelle Memorial Institute for the USAF included these categories as well as a "psychological" one.
    An individual 1979 study by CUFOS researcher Allan Hendry found, as did other investigations, that only a small percentage of cases he investigated were hoaxes (<1 and="" that="" most="" sightings="" were="" actually="" honest="" misidentifications="" of="" prosaic="" phenomena="" hendry="" attributed="" these="" to="" inexperience="" or="" misperception="" sup="" class="reference" id="cite_ref-109">[104]

    Claims by military, government, and aviation personnel

    Since 2001 there have been calls for greater openness on the part of the government by various persons. In May 2001, a press conference was held at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., by an organization called the Disclosure Project, featuring twenty persons including retired Air Force and FAA personnel, intelligence officers and an air traffic controller.[105][106][107][108][109][110][111] They all gave a brief account of what they knew or had witnessed, and stated that they would be willing to testify to what they had said under oath to a Congressional committee. According to a 2002 report in the Oregon Daily Emerald, Disclosure Project founder Steven M. Greer has gathered 120 hours of testimony from various government officials on the topic of UFOs, including astronaut Gordon Cooper and a Brigadier General.[112]
    In 2007, former Arizona governor Fife Symington came forward and belatedly claimed that he had seen "a massive, delta-shaped craft silently navigate over Squaw Peak, a mountain range in Phoenix, Arizona" in 1997.[113]
    On September 27, 2010, a group of six former USAF officers and one former enlisted Air Force man held a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., on the theme "U.S. Nuclear Weapons Have Been Compromised by Unidentified Aerial Objects."[114] They told how they had witnessed UFOs hovering near missile sites and even disarming the missiles.
    From April 29 to May 3, 2013, the Paradigm Research Group held the "Citizen Hearing on Disclosure" at the National Press Club. The group paid former U.S. Senator Mike Graveland former Representatives Carolyn Cheeks KilpatrickRoscoe BartlettMerrill CookDarlene Hooley, and Lynn Woolsey $20,000 each to hear testimony from a panel of researchers which included witnesses from military, agency, and political backgrounds.[115][116]
    Apollo 14 astronaut Dr Edgar Mitchell claimed that he knew of senior government employees who had been involved in "close encounters" and because of this he has no doubt that aliens have visited Earth.[117]

    Extraterrestrial hypothesis

    While technically a UFO refers to any unidentified flying object, in modern popular culture the term UFO has generally become synonymous with alien spacecraft;[118] however, the term ETV (ExtraTerrestrial Vehicle) is sometimes used to separate this explanation of UFOs from totally earthbound explanations.[119]

    Associated claims

    Besides anecdotal visual sightings, reports sometimes include claims of other kinds of evidence, including cases studied by the military and various government agencies of different countries (such as Project Blue Book, the Condon Committee, the French GEPAN/SEPRA, and Uruguay's current Air Force study).
    A comprehensive scientific review of cases where physical evidence was available was carried out by the 1998 Sturrock panel, with specific examples of many of the categories listed below.[120][121][122]
    • Radar contact and tracking, sometimes from multiple sites. These have included military personnel and control tower operators, simultaneous visual sightings, and aircraft intercepts. One such example were the mass sightings of large, silent, low-flying black triangles in 1989 and 1990 over Belgium, tracked by NATO radar and jet interceptors, and investigated by Belgium's military (included photographic evidence).[123] Another famous case from 1986 was the Japan Air Lines flight 1628 incident over Alaska investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
    • Photographic evidence, including still photos, movie film, and video.
    • Claims of physical trace of landing UFOs, including ground impressions, burned or desiccated soil, burned and broken foliage, magnetic anomalies[specify], increased radiation levels, and metallic traces. (See, e. g. Height 611 UFO incident or the 1964 Lonnie Zamora's Socorro, New Mexico encounter of the USAF Project Blue Book cases.) A well-known example from December 1980 was the USAF Rendlesham Forest incident in England. Another occurred in January 1981 in Trans-en-Provence and was investigated by GEPAN, then France's official government UFO-investigation agency. Project Blue Book head Edward J. Ruppelt described a classic 1952 CE2 case involving a patch of charred grass roots.
    • Physiological effects on people and animals including temporary paralysis, skin burns and rashes, corneal burns, and symptoms superficially resembling radiation poisoning, such as the Cash-Landrum incident in 1980.
    • Animal/cattle mutilation cases, that some feel are also part of the UFO phenomenon.
    • Biological effects on plants such as increased or decreased growth, germination effects on seeds, and blown-out stem nodes (usually associated with physical trace cases or crop circles)
    • Electromagnetic interference (EM) effects. A famous 1976 military case over Tehran, recorded in CIA and DIA classified documents, was associated with communication losses in multiple aircraft and weapons system failure in an F-4 Phantom II jet interceptor as it was about to fire a missile on one of the UFOs.[124]
    • Apparent remote radiation detection, some noted in FBI and CIA documents occurring over government nuclear installations at Los Alamos National Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 1950, also reported by Project Blue Book director Edward J. Ruppelt in his book.
    • Claimed artifacts of UFOs themselves, such as 1957, Ubatuba, Brazil, magnesium fragments analyzed by the Brazilian government and in the Condon Report and by others. The 1964 Lonnie Zamora incident also left metal traces, analyzed by NASA.[125][126] A more recent example involves a tear drop-shaped object recovered by Bob White and was featured in a television episode of UFO Hunters.[127]
    • Angel hair and angel grass, possibly explained in some cases as nests from ballooning spiders or chaff.[citation needed]

    Ufology

    Ufology is a neologism describing the collective efforts of those who study UFO reports and associated evidence.

    Categorization

    Some ufologists recommend that observations be classified according to the features of the phenomenon or object that are reported or recorded. Typical categories include:
    • Saucer, toy-top, or disk-shaped "craft" without visible or audible propulsion.
    • Large triangular "craft" or triangular light pattern, usually reported at night.
    • Cigar-shaped "craft" with lighted windows (meteor fireballs are sometimes reported this way, but are very different phenomena).
    • Other: chevrons, (equilateral) triangles, crescent, boomerangs, spheres (usually reported to be shining, glowing at night), domes, diamonds, shapeless black masses, eggs, pyramids and cylinders, classic "lights."
    Popular UFO classification systems include the Hynek system, created by J. Allen Hynek, and the Vallée system, created by Jacques Vallée.[citation needed]
    Hynek's system involves dividing the sighted object by appearance, subdivided further into the type of "close encounter" (a term from which the film director Steven Spielbergderived the title of his 1977 UFO movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind).
    Jacques Vallée's system classifies UFOs into five broad types, each with from three to five subtypes that vary according to type.

    Scientific skepticism

    scientifically skeptical group that has for many years offered critical analysis of UFO claims is the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry (CSI).
    One example is the response to local beliefs that "extraterrestrial beings" in UFOs were responsible for crop circles appearing in Indonesia, which the government and the National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN) described as "man-made". Thomas Djamaluddin, research professor of astronomy and astrophysics at LAPAN stated: "We have come to agree that this 'thing' cannot be scientifically proven. Scientists have put UFOs in the category of pseudoscience.

    ok so, i have taken screenshots on my ISS app on my phone on 2 different occasions. the first was on the 28/12/17 and the 2nd occasion was on the 4/3/18. On the 28/12 i have taken 1 photo and my memory f that is a little vague. on the 4/3 i have taken 5 screenshots, all approximately 5 seconds after one another. I want to add I am using the same cell phone right now to submit this report so to submit the original photos i took with all the added info and details attached to the pictures, such as the date and time etc. and also i hope that helps to authenticate my photos are not modified at all in one way or another. I will concentrate on the 4/3 because that is more familiar in my memory. All i was doing was checking the app like i sometimes do and sometimes i see the ISS fly over my town when i am up early enough. and basically i saw the round object, and i have researched about the ISS before and know that stars and most planets are not visible through the cameras on the ISS, only the sun and moon and a not many planets. and definitely not other satellites because of the speed the ISS is traveling as well as the other satellites. i immediately begun taking screenshots and as you can see the time between the photos, i hope that will help if someone can calculate the speed of the ISS and whatever else may be to pinpoint a distance of the object and size, maybe. I have thought afterwards maybe this is just a planet or a secret human powered craft, and other ideas. but after finding this site i simply wanted to submit my info and get the experts to look at it. before the 28/12/17 i have never seen a ufo before and these are the only 2 times i have seen anything on the ISS app. i have been incredibly astonished and blown away this year to, to see a UFO with my own eyes very close to my town and i have a detailed description to tell in another report so i will just keep that brief for now. Basically i first saw the object up high then it hovered for a little while then slowly dropped downwards until it was out of sight behind earth. thank you anyone who puts time into this and can back to me if these sightings i am sharing are authentic or not. any info which i hope can be identified would be greatly appreciated. thank you

    Believe it or not, sightings of UFOs by the ISS are pretty common. But is that what these photographs show - UFOs? Or do they show reflections of lights or other mundane anomalies? As always, you be the judge! Share your theories in the comments below or on FacebookTwitter, or Instagram!

    Alien languages might not be that different from ours

    ETs may share a kind of 'universal grammar' with us, say leading linguists like Noam Chomsky.

    It could be a Star Trek or Star Wars universe after all. One where a diverse set of intelligent extraterrestrial species from across the galaxies all easily communicate despite some pretty dramatic biological differences. 

    Some of the world's leading linguists argue that human languages are connected by a shared "universal grammar." And now some, including perhaps the most well-known linguist, say they're optimistic that connection could extend to extraterrestrial languages too.

    Image result for Noam Chomsky in 2015

    "To put it whimsically, the Martian language might not be so different from human language after all," explained Noam Chomsky and Jeffrey Watumull in a presentation at the International Space Development Conference (ISDC) in Los Angeles on Saturday.

    Chomsky is a noted author on both linguistics and global politics and is often referred to as the "father of modern linguistics" who pioneered the notion of a universal grammar. 

    "Chomsky has often said that if a Martian visited Earth, it would think we all speak dialects of the same language, because all terrestrial languages share a common underlying structure," said Douglas Vakoch, president of METI (short for Messaging Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence), which organized a daylong Language in the Cosmos workshop at ISDC. "But if aliens have language, would it be similar to ours? That's the big question."   Linguists Bridget Samuels from the University of Southern California and Jeffrey Punske from Southern Illinois University also argued in a separate presentation at the workshop that some universal factors underlying language might be able to bridge big gaps in alien biology and environment.

    "The whole universe is subject to the same laws of physics. For example, there are not that many ways a signal can be transmitted, particularly over large distances," they explained to me in an email. "Also, we can expect that extraterrestrial languages ... have a vocabulary consisting of building blocks of meaning that can be combined to create more complex meanings."

    The notion here is that there are aspects of the universe that are, well, universal. While hypothetical aliens may have evolved very differently from us on very different worlds, all species -- and by extension all languages -- must spring forth from essentially the same elemental soup. 

    "While the possibility of human contact with extraterrestrials seems remote, and the possibility of communicating successfully with them seems even more remote, the laws of physics, information theory, logic, and mathematics could provide some common ground to start from," said Samuels and Punske.

    METI is trying to work out which type of message could be most understandable to extraterrestrials. The notion that a universal grammar connecting human languages could also underlie alien dialects changes things.

    "That's a radical shift for SETI scientists, who have scoffed at the idea of creating interstellar messages inspired by natural languages," said Vakoch. 

    In the past, messages sent into space have typically been encoded in principles of math and science rather than language. More recently, we've sent music:

    Still, the notion of universal grammar applying to the whole universe is not accepted by everyone interested in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.

    Also at the workshop, Professor Emeritus Gonzalo Munevar from Lawrence Technological University presented his argument that there's more reason for pessimism when it comes to communicating with ET. He argues there are plenty of examples on Earth of different species evolving different brains that work in very different ways.

    Luna moths can see ultraviolet light, some snakes can see heat and certain fish perceive electric fields, just for starters. 

    "An intelligent creature whose main sensory modality is electric rather than visual would have patterns of thought completely foreign to us," he explained, adding there's "no reason to expect similar scientific languages or math" to emerge on distant exoplanets.


    Whether or not there's any hope that aliens could ever understand the messages we send into space, Vakoch and METI aren't about to stop trying. Beyond the obvious language barrier, Vakoch says another challenge is the time required to send and receive messages across interstellar space. A two-way conversation between Earth and the nearest planet beyond our solar system, Proxima Centauri, would require eight years just for us to send out a "hello" and receive a response.

    Unfortunately, the latest research suggests Proxima Centauri sends sterilizing flares in the direction of its lone Earth-like planet. METI has already targeted a message to another nearby world, but a response wouldn't arrive until 2042 at the earliest.

    "The greatest shift of mindset that we need to succeed in a two-way conversation with ET is to think in multigenerational terms," Vakoch said. "The scientists who start an experiment in active SETI today will probably not be around when any responses get back to Earth."

    Are aliens real? From Roswell to fossils - dramatic evidence from some of the biggest UFO mysteries point to only one conclusion

    From the Roswell conspiracy to mysterious signals from outer space - are we alone in the universe? We take a look at the theories on Alien Day

    By Jeff Parsons Tech/Science Reporter

    Humans have been trying to find out whether or not we're alone in the universe for centuries.

    Aboard the Voyager 1 space probe - which has travelled further than any other man-made object - is a golden disc containing information about humans and the cultures of our planet.

    It was hoped by NASA engineers in the 70s that it would once day come into contact with intelligent life and educate them about humankind.

    As well as sending out potential communications to other worlds, many people have reported evidence of aliens here on Earth.

    Recently, the mummified remains of what was believed to be an alien proved to be a small child.

    The skeleton measured just six inches in height, and was found 15 years ago in Chile. UFO experts were convinced the mummified skeleton was extraterrestrial in origin, and a documentary suggested it was an alien.

    Following five years of research, scientists concluded that the figure, nicknamed Ata, was actually a baby girl.

    Even though Ata turned out to be a story of human tragedy rather than of alien visitors, there are plenty of other mysterious sightings that have yet to be explained.

    The mummified skeleton known as Ata 

    Evidence of aliens on Earth - Roswell, New Mexico

    In July 1947 Sheriff Jess Slaughter and Deputy Sheriff Charles Fogus were travelling together to pick up a prisoner when they heard on their police radio reports of a crashed aircraft.

    The two men, who were travelling to Roswell, New Mexico, decided to investigate and stumbled across the scene of one of the most famous UFO incidents in history.

    While the US military have long claimed the crashed object was merely a weather balloon, conspiracy theorists believe the site was the scene of at least one alien aircraft crash and the recovery of extraterrestrials.

    In a new book, UFOs TODAY – 70 Years of Lies, Misinformation and Government Cover-Up, law enforcement officer Fogus reveals he saw a downed flying saucer and military personnel removing a number of alien bodies from the scene.

    It is the first time his statement has been published.

    In the interview he says he say a flying saucer crashed into the side of a river bed which was "100ft across".

    Describing the scene he said: "When we got there, the land was covered with soldiers. They were hauling a big, a creature.

    "The bodies must have been 5 feet tall.

    "I saw the legs and feet on some of them. They looked like our feet.

    "The skin was a brownish color…. Like they were in the sun too long.

    "There were soldiers there….about 3 or 4 hundred of them.

    "We seen them haul them (the bodies) out there, out of the canyon up to the trucks….puttin them on the tow trucks so they could haul them."

    The story of the discovery at Roswell has become legend - and remained one of the most compelling conspiracy theories about the existence of alien visitors to Earth.

    Evidence of aliens on Mars - trace fossils

    Mars 

    Thanks to satellite imagery and on-site photography captured by the NASA rovers on the planet's surface, there have been many claims that aliens once inhabited Mars.

    One of the most striking is the idea that fossilised remains of aliens have been preserved on the dusty surface of the red planet.

    A series of pictures taken by the space agency's Curiosity rover have given rise to the idea, after researchers found what looks like fossils among the rocks.

    The 'fossils' seen on Mars 

    Barry DiGregorio, a research fellow at the University of Buckingham, believes these photos (taken on January 2, 2018) reveal "trace fossils" on the surface of Mars.

    "They look remarkably similar to Ordovician trace fossils I have studied and photographed here on Earth," he said.

    "If not trace fossils, what other geological explanations will NASA come up with?"

    NASA described the formations as "stick-like figures" with each one "about a quarter-inch long".

    The space agency used the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) camera on board the Curiosity rover to take the close-up pictures of the patterns.

    Trace fossils are the name given to remains of things left behind by creatures such as dead remains, footprints or burrows.

    Evidence of aliens in space - the 'Wow' signal and FSBs

    Some of the biggest evidence of alien life comes through signals we intercept originating from distant corners of the galaxy.

    Often, these are known as "fast radio bursts" or FSBs for short.

    Back in 1977, astronomer Jerry Ehman received such a strong radio signal coming in from the heavens, he wrote the word "wow!" next to his results.

    The burst of activity lasted 72 seconds and - although it came from the Sagittarius constellation - it matched no known celestial object.

    It's gone on to become a conspiracy theory favourite as proof of advanced alien life trying to communicate with us.

    But now Professor Antonio Paris from the St Petersburg College in Florida believes he's solved the mystery.

    "I have always been fascinated with astronomy, space and - more importantly - whether there is life in the universe," he told the Sunday Times .

    "After 40 years, the Wow signal was a cold case I wanted to reopen.

    According to Professor Paris, the signal came from the hydrogen cloud created by two comets as they passed by Earth.

    Using celestial records, he found that these two comets were passing by our planet on August 15, 1977 - the day the "Wow!" signal was recorded. Of course, at the time, there was no knowledge that these comets even existed.

    Even without the "Wow" signal, scientists have been intercepting strange FSBs for years.

    Some have been detected from an object called FRB 121102 and now a new study has found that the object is nearly 100 per cent polarised.

    This polarisation suggests that the source of the bursts lies within a strong magnetic field, such as around a massive black hole - and could belong to aliens.

    The findings were made by the Breakthrough Listen team at the University of California, Berkley, as well as another team of astronomers from the Netherlands.

    What do most people think about aliens?

    Nearly half of humans believe that intelligent extra-terrestrial life exists elsewhere in the universe, according to a study that asked 26,000 people across 24 countries.

    When they were asked if they believed in the "existence of intelligent alien civilisations in the universe," 47% of the survey respondents said yes.

    However, when those taking the survey were asked if they believed in "some form of life on other planets," 61% said yes.

    Among those who reckon we aren't alone, 60% said we should try and communicate with aliens - something that is actually being attempted at the non profit Search for extra-terrestrial intelligence (SETI) Institute.

    Martijn Lampert, research director at Glocalities , which carried out the survey, commented: "People who believe in the existence of intelligent alien civilizations are not a marginal minority, but constitute a large (47%) and distinct segment of unconventional and anti-authoritarian thinkers with a passion for science, technology, culture, politics and the arts."

    Only a quarter of respondents said they didn't believe that alien life exists beyond Earth's borders.

    Are aliens real?

    Some people have been searching for aliens for years... 

    We may not have come into contact with them yet, but it seems certain that some form of live exists beyond our planet.

    Whether that live is micro bacterial or intelligent in its own right remains to be seen.

    What's for sure is that human beings won't stop trying to reach out and communicate with any other species that might be listening. The truth is out there.

    Three chances for humanity to find life outside the Earth

    Since the first people sent their views to the sky, to planets, stars and galaxies outside our native world, our imagination filled the possibility of finding extraterrestrial life. However, when we approach this issue from a scientific point of view, we still do not have the first convincing confirmation of life outside the Earth. The complex, diverse forms of life that we see on Earth are the result of more than four billion years of evolution, but in space, the ingredients for life are very often. We began to find organic molecules throughout our solar system, interstellar space and even other stars. How long will it take before we receive confirmation of the existence of something living beyond the Earth? Today we search through four main methods. Which one will justify itself first – nobody knows this yet.

    To have a life, you need the fundamental ingredients that are necessary for life processes: raw materials from the periodic table. To do this, it is necessary that lived and died several generations of stars that have overtaken their nuclear fuel. We found stars with solid planets at their side, which are seven billion years older than Earth and have all the elements necessary for life. We found planets of terrestrial type in potentially inhabited zones of other stars throughout the galaxy. We found organic molecules, from sugars and amino acids to ethyl formate, which gives raspberry its smell, everywhere, from asteroids and young stars to protoplanetary disks and molecular gas clouds.

    In general, we believe that in our Milky Way galaxy there are more than a trillion (1012) planets, and hence chances for life. But between the planets with the ingredients and the real, good life of extraterrestrials there is a huge difference. We do not know yet whether there are any other examples of life in the universe other than those we saw on Earth. Although scientists strongly suspect that if all the same ingredients and identical laws of nature exist throughout the universe, the uniqueness of life on Earth is extremely unlikely, we have no right to draw such a conclusion without foundation. In fact, we do not even know the answer to the question: how did we come from living things to the living?

    Our existence proves that this is possible. We can assume that if life appears anywhere in the universe, it can reach three different levels:

    Life begins on the planet, but can not exist, prosper or change
    – Life is thriving, held and preserved for billions of years, making significant changes in the properties of the surface of the world on which it lives
    – Life becomes intelligent, technologically advanced and either tries to communicate with the cosmos, or to subdue it, or both

    Obviously, more advanced opportunities are more pleasing to us and excite the mind, but they are less likely. However, sometimes the rarest things are easiest to find, because they will stand out against the background of everything else. Here are a few different methods that we can use to search for a variety of life forms. Three chances for humanity to find life outside the Earth.

    Search in the Solar System

    Although life has flourished on Earth for billions of years, other worlds seem to lack such splendor. If there is life on them, it must have hung in a primitive state. Mars and Venus had a moist, warm past, like the Earth, but today Mars is cold and deserted, and Venus is poisonous and hot. The meteorites that fall to Earth contain not only the amino acids necessary for life processes, but also many other elements not related to biological processes on Earth. The moons like Europe and Enceladus have subsurface oceans with liquid water, in which there may be hydrothermal vents. At the bottom of the oceans of the Earth they are usually associated with life.

    Although we have not found any evidence of the existence of living beings, past or present, on another world, the possibility of such an indescribable excitement. On Mars there are sedimentary rocks formed by the water past; will we find fossils when we dare to unearth them? On Europe and Enceladus there can be entire oceans open for research; will we find germs or something better in their waters? There is even the assumption that diatoms, examples of primitive forms of life that are found in fragments of meteorites, can have extraterrestrial origin. This is the least developed form of life from all that we can imagine, but at our disposal there are many worlds that we can physically get, visit, measure. If a primitive, simple life is everywhere, a thorough exploration of our solar system will reveal this to us.

    Search on other exoplanets

    Over the past 25 years, the field of exoplanetary science has given scientists a whole treasure trove of precious discoveries, thousands of planets in orbits of other stars. Many of these worlds are small, solid and are at the correct distance from their stars, which allows them to admit the presence of atmospheres and liquid water on the surface. We can not find individual microbes or fossils on them directly, because they are outside the solar system, but there are indirect methods that we could use to find life that survived and prospered: the search for changes that bring life into our atmosphere planet.

    The Earth is the only known planet with such a ratio of molecular oxygen: 21% of our atmosphere is O2. Why did this happen? Life had billions of years to feed the atmosphere with its biological waste. We think that oxygen is necessary for life, but in fact, these animals evolved to use this ingredient, to find its use. As our technology improves, we will be able to measure the molecular signatures of exoplanetary atmospheres and perhaps even directly visualize exoplanets in search of clouds, oceans, seasons and continental greens. We have every reason to believe that a stable life on another planet, if we look for it correctly, should appear to us already in this century.

    Search for signals of intelligent aliens

    Here, on Earth, we had a unicellular life for billions of years, and then multicellular organisms developed. It took 500 million years since the Cambrian explosion, so that a complex, multicellular, well-differentiated life became a reasonable, technologically advanced civilization. People have already started sending signals to the stars and have already reached the point where these signals were to reach the nearest stars. The search for extraterrestrial life with an attempt to communicate with it is a high-risk, but at the same time, effective method of searching for aliens.

    In the 1960s, we assumed that aliens would try to communicate using radio waves. It’s been 50 years, and we are not so sure about it. What alien types of signals can exist in nature? How do we decrypt them? How will they transmit or receive interstellar signals? Will they conquer outer space? Will they be able to overcome giant distances? Everything is possible. If the signal – or, better yet, the spacecraft – will fly to Earth, our view of the universe will completely change, just like our place in this universe.

    Although at the moment this is just a hypothesis, scientists suggest that life in the universe is probably widespread, and the ingredients and opportunities for its emergence are found almost everywhere. Life that thrives and sustains itself on the planet, and also changes the atmospheric composition, will be less likely. Complex multicellular life will be even more rare. And the birth of a technologically advanced, intelligent civilization will be so incredible that it will not have a second chance. However, whatever the odds, we will continue to look. We do not have many options yet. And no matter which method shoots first, the day of the discovery of another life will be the greatest day in the history of life on Earth.

    Who Or How Were Earth’s Ancient Structures Built? Ancient Aliens or Forgotten Technology? … Or Both?

    Exactly how were the great pyramids in Egypt and Mexico built?

    How were the famous Inca & Mayan stones squashed into each other?

    How was the great stones of Stonehenge placed high on top of each other?

    These questions and many more have fascinated people for centuries. Not only are they structures which were built during periods where technology was supposed to be very basic but the more we learn about them the more they baffle us.

    For example, the Sphinx and the Pyramids in Egypt are thought to be older than what we are being told. Geologists say that weathering patterns on the Sphinx show rain damage which puts the building date of the Sphinx well past the date of the Egyptians we are lead to believe were responsible for building it.

    The pyramids themselves hold many mysteries, much of it appears as scientific code. The layout of the pyramids in Giza are an exact copy of the stars in the Orion’s Belt constellation. Spread out over miles of Egypt’s land the smaller pyramids also line up with the stars of the same constellation. Is Egypt a star map of where our ancestors came from?

    More interesting is the coordinates of the pyramids at Giza in Egypt . Their coordinates are 29.9792458 degrees North and what is the speed of light in a vacuum? 299.792,458 metres per second. Coincidence or planned as a message to modern man?

    However it should be mentioned that modern latitude is set so that the prime meridian goes through Greenwich England which did not exist at the time the pyramids were built so whatever system they would have used would not have been this one… unless… they were time travellers and knew what system would be in place several thousand years later. Now that would blow the socks of modern man if that were true!

    The pyramids are also mentioned on an ancient Sumerian tablet. The Sumerians were in Egypt thousands of years before the ancient Egyptians who are believed to be responsible for building them. This ages them thousands of years more than what is publicly believed.

    The Great pyramid hasn’t dropped more than a feet yet the weight of the structure is immense. Modern skyscrapers are designed to drop more once built. The blocks of stone that the pyramids are made from are huge and weigh so much that even modern cranes would struggle to move them. As far as we know there were no modern cranes around.

    Portuguese Navy Study Huge Extra-terrestrial Pyramid found Under The Sea. Possibly Atlantis?

    So how were they built? How were the big stones of Stonehenge lifted? Were there aliens involved in the construction? Was alien technology used? Was there an Atlantis type super race of ancient humans building these structures or did basic man know more about physics than we believe.

    The Mayans, Egyptians and Incas are all supposed to have cosmology knowledge and understanding which far surpassed that of which we believe they should have so did they have a better understanding of quantum physics and the little known vibrational physics than we first thought?

    The reason I say vibrational physics is that there is a story of a Swedish dr who went to Tibet in 1939 to visit the Dalai Lama. It is said that while he was there the monks were building a high wall using heavy stones. The story goes that he observed the monks lifting up the heavy stones by levitating them using sound.

    The monks set up drums and horns in an arc shape a certain distance away from the stones and then began to make sounds which lifted up the heavy stones and they were then pushed into place. Meditation and Eastern philosophies put a lot of emphasis on sound. Especially the Ohm sound which is the Universal vibration rate sound.

    Did our forefathers know something that we are just beginning to understand? Was this kept a secret from us?

    The Swedish doctor apparently recorded this on film but the film was confiscated from him by British authorities and never seen again. Funny that?

    We know about the law of attraction, things which vibrate with the same or similar frequency are drawn to each other like magnets. We have seen what some metals do when they are near magnets but everything has a vibration and a specific rate so that means that everything can be lifted up like a magnet if you hit the right frequency.

    Acoustic Levitation in Egypt – Ancient High Technology

    Alien abductees talk about being lifted up out of houses. Do aliens know something about acoustic levitation or vibrational physics? Did they give that knowledge to us years ago and has been kept secret by those in the know or did ancient man know about it but it somehow got forgotten about? Maybe it was lost when modern style governments were formed and knew that there would be no profit or tax in construction if everyone had access to this knowledge.

    If you are not sure whether you have been abducted by aliens then use this checklist here to find out:  

    Another puzzling ancient mystery is the stone walls in south and central America. They have been cut and shaped to fit so tight and snug that even to this day people cannot slide pieces of paper between them.

    They are also oddly shaped which is interesting. What people do not know is that how they were carved and made. There have been stories and theories that say that the Ancient Mayan and Incan builders were able to soften the stones and mold them into position.

    Megalithic Softening of Stone Part 1

    A very old story spoke about how an explorer discovered that a  mixture made from plants which were found in central America would somehow soften the stone which was then pushed and molded into shape. How true this is no one knows.

    What is interesting is that there are very little scratch and tooling marks to see. We do have thousands of years of weathering so the smallest marks might have been eroded but the stone work across central and south America is pretty impressive.

    Maybe the stone was an ancient version of concrete and were molded and fashioned into shapes. This is another theory being put forward today.

    What do you think? Were our ancestors smarter than we give them credit for using technology we no longer use or were these impressive structures built by or with the help of Ancient Aliens?
