UFO Landing at Socorro the Zamora Incident - PART II
UFO Landing at Socorro the Zamora Incident - PART II
Brad Steiger, Project Blue Book, 1976, Ballantine Books, ISBN0345260910 (contains Air Force's account with maps, Zamora's account, reports of J. Allen Hynek)
A very rare 2,000-year-old gem seal depicting the Greek god Apollo has been discovered in Jerusalem. Interestingly, experts have stated that whoever owned it probably wasn’t Greek or Roman and that they were more than likely Jewish.
In a statement, Eli Shukron, who is an archaeologist with the Israel Antiquities Authority and a tour guide at the City of David archaeological park, stated, “It is rare to find seal remains bearing the image of the god Apollo at sites identified with the Jewish population,” adding, “When we found the gem, we asked ourselves ‘What is Apollo doing in Jerusalem? And why would a Jew wear a ring with the portrait of a foreign god?’”
Metal statue of the Greek god Apollo.
In a City of David video, Shukron went into further details by explaining, “I don’t think he believed in the god Apollo,” adding, “But he believed in the virtues that the god Apollo offered; light, purity, health, success, which are very, very positive attributes — very, very conventional. Everyone wants to have them.”
The carved dark brown jasper stone was found by visitors to the City of David but were supervised by archaeologists. It was discovered in the soil that had once been the foundation of the Western Wall which surrounded the Second Temple until the Romans destroyed it back in 70 AD.
Drawing of Apollo.
The gem seal (also known as an intaglio) is oval in shape and is quite small, measuring 0.5 inches in length, 0.4 inches in width, and 0.1 inches in thickness (or 13 by 10 by 3 millimeters). The upper side of the gem is carved with the face of Apollo with his long hair, large nose, thick lips, and a prominent chin over a wide neck. The gem dates back to the Second Temple period which was between the years 516 BC to 70 AD. And it is very rare as it is only the third one that’s ever been discovered.
As for its purpose, archaeologists believe that the carved jasper gem was probably attached to a ring and was used as a stamp on beeswax for people’s signatures on different types of documents.
Several pictures of the carved gem seal can be seen here.

White UFO Over Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates on Nov 5, 2020, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Nov 5, 2020
Location of sighting: Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Guys check out this white object as its passing over the Abu Dhabi area. The craft is following the land area. Its kind of big, about the size of a car. This is very cool and flying very low. This alien craft has zero fear of being seen. 100% alien! Love this raw footage so much. It shows us its movement, its actions of following the land, its speed, color and shape. Wow!
Scott C. Waring - Taiwan
Eyewitness states:
I saw a white ball moving slowly across the horizon. It was moving in a straight line. I could hear no noise. It moved past a hotel, over a small island, and I believe eventually out over the water past the island. It moved in a straight line. We see many helicopters out there and this was nothing like a helicopter. It eventually disappeared from sight. I am guessing it turned to moved across the island, out towards the water where we could no longer see it.
UFO chasers around the globe are speculating the origin of a mysterious object spotted on images released by NASA.
According to outer space conspiracy theorists, the object is flying too close to the sun to be human technology, and they have therefore concluded that it is an alien spaceship.
The images were taken by NASA's specialist telescopic cameras used to monitor solar activity earlier this month.
A YouTube video created by a UFO chaser using the images, posed the question that the shape of the mysterious object indicated that it was more than just 'malformed pixels'.
This has been backed up by other alien believers, including Scott C Waring, editor of UFOsightingsdaily, who believed it to be a ship of alien origin.
Winged Space Craft Shoots Past Sun At Partial Light Speed! Nov 2020, UFO Sighting News.
Winged Space Craft Shoots Past Sun At Partial Light Speed! Nov 2020, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Nov 5, 2020
Location of sighting: Earths sun
Source:Helioviewer.org
I found an interesting spacecraft shooting past our suns last night. The UFO has a very long wing...several miles long! Its leaving a trail behind it, which I believe to be a false trail to make it appear as a meteor or comet. But this object was seen on only one frame of the helioviewer video so this was going so fast that it disappeared in just under a minute. That means it was going partial light speed...maybe 10% light speed. This object was really big and moving fast...at speeds no meteors or comets could attain. This is 100% proof that giant alien spaceships travel through our solar system often and NASA choses to not inform the public about them.
I was searching through Mars photos when I found something that really screamed for my attention. I discovered an alter. The kind of alter that was sacrificial. I say that because all evidence points to that being its use. You can easily see the bones and trinkets laying on the alter. Religions are a universal thing...belief in a creator gives life purpose for some and guidance for others. It's only logical to think that there is religion out there in the universe...some may be barbaric and some so advanced it would be difficult to comprehend. I also found a tilted over statue and something that looks like a hand weapon...a phaser of sorts. The weapon looks similar to the phaser in the last star trek series. It looks as though a big fight took place in this cultures last moments. I also found a dead body broken in two pieces under the alter. The head, neck spine and ribs area down to the waist. The other area below the waist and two long legs and feet under it but separated from the other half. Sacrificial site for sure.

Nest camera recording of UFO Fastwalker moving extremely fast
Nest camera recording of UFO Fastwalker moving extremely fast
Recently, a UFO Fastwalker moving extremely fast at high altitude was captured from a northward pointing Nest camera in the backyard of a home in Abilene, Texas. It looks like the UFO in the last frame finished its flight path, and disappeared into a portal.
Besides the above mentioned UFO Fastwalker sighting, the same Nest camera captured a second UFO Fastwalker, three days earlier.
Witness: The UFO Fastwalker captured three days earlier appears out of a spot that appears suddenly and then as the spot it exited from, disappears, it creates and enters a new spot or portal that it hits directly.
The portal slowly dissipates in place afterwards. This situation happens in a fraction of a second and on the camera recording it is only a combination of about 6 frames or so. If the object was 20 ft across for example, it would have to be at least a few hundred feet above the ground.
Both events were high speed and the object that we caught in the Nest camera feed on October 18, was first a bright circle and in the next moment was a grey color as if it was engulfed in a sort of fog before entering the portal or point that had manifested.
At that point the spot disappears slowly in the next frame or two. One important fact that I noticed upon further review is that an upright dark grey or black cylinder shape happened to slowly appear and dissipate to the east, right before the event. This seemed to be around a quarter mile to the east of it from what I could tell.
To add to my credibility, I am active duty Air Force and have seen many aircraft flying during the day and night from multiple deployed locations and stateside bases. Nothing I have seen is anything like what we captured on the camera. Mufon report here.
If the extraterrestrial hypothesis is controversial, then abductions of humans by alien beings is controversial squared, if not cubed. There’s intense polarization on the issue, not just between UFO skeptics and believers, but between the believers themselves. Is there a person who can share reality story of alien abductions? Famous abduction cases, such as the Travis Walton situation, have been popularized in books and movies, along with the occurrence been validated using polygraph tests administered to all parties involved. While this may not be proof positive that aliens are abducting humans and performing experiments and surgical procedures on them, it does raise questions.
Investigators worth mentioning sightings and abduction reports call themselves Ufologists, and now have precise scientific methods meant for investigating the reports people receive. While many of your methods and findings are usually not recognized by the scientific community overall, it does raise this question of why many people would risk their reputations and careers while in the scientific world by becoming needed for paranormal investigations such seeing that these. Logic would say you need to have something to the UFO and additionally separate question, for the property to take such risks. Of course, there’s no concrete evidence that anyone has taken by an alien spaceship. However, there are those who assert they’ve been kidnapped, and their stories are chilling.
After the Sitgreaves National Forest nearby Heber, Arizona, the occurrence began on Nov. 5, 1975. Walton and his six loggers were heading when they saw a 40 ft. shiny disc soaring in the air. According to his testimony, the disc has an enthusiastic and metallic material, making strange sounds. From the time it got close, the more it became scary to people. Fifteen years later, it was being revealed that the trees where the extraterrestrial craft hovered had been producing wood fibers thirty-six times it did 85 years before. The most curious part is that its core has thickened growth, but only in the direction where the craft had been years ago.
It’s a fact that the origins of Area 51date back to the early years of the Second World War. The Nevada Test and Training Range soon came to fruition and planted the seeds for what would come in the mid-1950s: Area 51. Highly advanced aircraft, such as the U-2, the SR-71 Blackbird, the Stealth Fighter and the Stealth Bomber were all secretly test-flown from Area 51. Probably the “secret aircraft”known as the Aurora, too. In that sense, many might say, there is no doubt that Area 51 has a valid reason for keeping just about everything under wraps. Indeed, considering the fact that those aforementioned aircraft were being built, tested, and flown when the Cold War was still in place and the Soviet Union had still yet to fall, one can easily see why stringent measures would be taken to ensure that the U.S. Government’s most advanced aircraft would be subject to incredible secrecy. It makes total sense. But, is there just too much secrecy for a squadron or several of strange, futuristic aircraft?
As most will know, there is one thing – more than any other – that sets Area 51 apart from just about every other military or government facility in the United States: it’s the sheer extent of the government’s determination to make sure that absolutely nothing gets out of Area 51 and no one gets in, unless you have the correct clearance. Of course, and particularly so in today’s climate of uncertainty, everyone needs to be vigilant. And that includes everyone who works at Area 51, too. They are, after all, just like us, regular people with lives and families. The big difference, though, is they know the reasons for so much secrecy and we don’t. It would be hard – in fact, impossible – to find a military installation in the United States that protects its secrets to a greater degree than Area 51. Those who stray too close to portions of the Nevada desert that the staff of Area 51 would prefer to keep under wraps risk large fines, imprisonment and even death, and all in the name of national security.
Aircraft are banned from flying close to or over Area 51. They can even be shot down out of the sky, if circumstances dictate and warrant such drastic action. When, in 1974, NASA’s astronauts on-board Skylab took an aerial photo of the base, all hell broke loose in the defense and intelligence-based communities of the United States. The CIA and the Department of Defense quickly got involved. Major concerns were expressed about how on Earth (or, in this case, off it) such a thing could have happened. Secret files were created, most of which have never publicly surfaced. Motion-detector equipment peppers the landscape. Cameras are everywhere. Guards patrol the local roads for any perceived suspicious characters. Night-vision technology ensures that no one can penetrate the base in the early hours of the morning.
Skylab
The government practically refuses to acknowledge not just the existence of Area 51, but even its name. That same government refused to offer help on the 1996 movie Independence Day, and all because a substantial portion of the movie revolved around Area 51 and the 1947 incident at Roswell, New Mexico. All of the above is astonishing. No facility in the United States comes even close to the level of secrecy and paranoia that surrounds Area 51. Which brings up an important question: is all of this overwhelming secrecy just in place to protect next-generation after next-generation of aircraft? Or, are the rumors and the whispers true? You know the ones, of course: the claims that deeply hidden at Area 51 are the remains of the Roswell wreckage, recovered flying saucers, and alien corpses. Maybe, even living aliens are at the base, too.
Regardless of where you, me and everyone else stands on the matter of what goes on at Area 51, there can be no doubt that it is the UFO-driven rumors and revelations which attract so much attention. Certainly, there’s no doubt it was Bob Lazar who, in the late 1980s, set the wheels in motion for the controversy to begin and for the media and the public to sit up and take notice. Consider the following: in her 2011 book, Area 51, Annie Jacobsen told the story of a man named Alfred O’Donnell, who had provable links to Area 51. O’Donnell told Jacobsen that the Roswell wreckage and the grossly mutated human crew aboard were secretly transferred to the Nevada Test and Training Range in 1951, after previously being secretly stored at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio. The story suggest the bodies may well still be stored there. Perhaps in a museum-like state. Moving on, we should note there are certain threads running through the tales of UFOs at Area 51 that should make us cautious of what we are told about the base and its work. Let’s not forget that Bob Lazar told of how his mind may have been messed with – possibly using updated MK-Ultra-type technologies. Certain portions of his memories were wiped clean. He felt that his very brief glimpse of a small creature at S-4 may have been a staged event; an event designed to make him think that live extraterrestrials were hidden at the base, when they may not have been.
There can be no doubt that the alien angle of the history of Area 51 excites many. Maybe that’s what the U.S. Government is counting on. After all, not even the power of all the military-, defense-, and intelligence-based agencies in the United States can prevent a few leaks of classified information. So, perhaps to keep eager Ufologists away from stumbling on covert programs concerned with new aircraft designs, next-generation weapons-systems, mind-control techniques and more of a down to earth nature, they swamp those same Ufologists with enticing tales of extraterrestrial conspiracies and the ever-popular Roswell affair. For the people at Area 51, it may be a case of this: if you can’t plug the genuine leaks, then swamp them with far more tantalizing and enticing tales of E.T. A good argument could be made that this is exactly what has happened. At times, the targeted people might have been patriotic American citizens who overstepped the mark in their quests to find out if alien life really does hang out at Area 51. On other occasions, and particularly during the Cold War, the targets may have been Soviet spies, seeking the very same answers. Dangling an alien carrot – so to speak – would be the perfect way to reel in and arrest eager Russian agents who were trying to figure out what was going on deep in Nevada. And if that carrot never really existed – except in the minds of those running the disinformation programs – then all the better.
Something that dates back decades has prompted the U.S. Government to turn Area 51 into a veritable impenetrable fortress. Is this all about secret aircraft? Aliens? Both? Or something else completely? We still don’t know. We may never know.

The long-lost twin of the moon has been spotted trailing behind Mars, according to a new study.
The 3,280-foot-wide asteroid called (101429) 1998 VF31 was first spotted 22 years ago, and new analysis reveals it is 'strikingly similar' to the moon.
Scientists from the Armagh Observatory and Planetarium (AOP) in Northern Ireland used the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) and the Very Large Telescope (VLT) to study the space rock.
The lead author of the study, Dr Apostolos Christou from the AOP, believes it is possibly a chunk of moon that was dislodged by an enormous impact during the Solar System's formative years, around four billion years ago.
However, while the origin of this rock may be lunar, the research team say it is also possible it could have stemmed from the Martian surface.
Scroll down for video
The asteroid is a Mars Trojan which orbits the Sun while trailing behind the red planet at an angle of about 60 degrees relative to the Sun, in a so-called Lagrange point. These are locations in a planet's orbit where the gravity of the Sun and the planet balances out, allowing a rock to remain in a static location. L4 is ahead of Mars and L5, where VF31 is, sits behind Mars
Dr Christou studied the space rock with a technique called spectral matching.
'It's similar to the photo-IDing done by the police when chasing crooks, you try to match your data - the spectral profile - against the same type of data taken from other objects, for example other asteroids or meteorites,' he told MailOnline.
'None of these matches were particularly satisfactory until we included spectra of the Moon in our analysis. The similarity to parts of the lunar surface was striking.'
The asteroid is part of a group known as Mars Trojans, and their origin is a long-standing astronomical mystery.
They orbit the Sun while either trailing behind the red planet at an angle of about 60 degrees relative to the Sun, L5, or 60° in front of Mars, L4.
For example, if Mars reaches a point in its orbit deemed to be the same as 12 o'clock on a clock face, the Trojans will be at two o'clock.
They stay in this location because they are trapped at a Lagrange Point, a patch of space where the gravitational pull of various celestial bodies balances out.
As a result, they never go around Mars and always lurk behind it, following in the planet's wake.
The study, which was funded by the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), reveals that VF31 is very different in composition to all the other Mars Trojans.
This, Dr Chrisotu told MailOnline, was surprising. None of the other Trojans had any resemblance to the moon, making this object unique.
The research team speculates that the moon may have been struck by an asteroid, called a planetesimal, causing VF31 to chip off the surface.
'The early solar system was very different from the place we see today,' Dr Christou says.
'The space between the newly-formed planets was full of debris and collisions were commonplace.
'Large asteroids – we call these planetesimals – were hitting the Moon and the other planets.
'A shard from such a collision could have reached the orbit of Mars when the planet was still forming and was trapped in its Trojan clouds.'
Although the researchers are unable to say conclusively that the space rock is a fragment of the moon, the evidence is convincing.
To test if it would even be possible for the asteroid, which is less than a kilometre in diameter, to have originated from the moon and end up in Martian orbit the researchers crunched the numbers.
Previous studies show that for a rock to escape the moon's gravity, it would have to be travelling at 2.4 km/s (5,368 mph).
For it to then enter an orbit around the Sun, it would have to be travelling at a minimum of 3.5 km/s (7,829 mph).
The researchers say it is possible for a rock fragment of around one kilometre in diameter to travel at this speed if the moon is hit by a projectile at least 125km (77 mils) in size, travelling at 10 km/s (22,369 mph).
Such a monumental collision would create a crater measuring 974 km (604 miles) across.
In order for a loose piece of rock from the lunar surface to escape the moon's gravity and enter a solar orbit it would require the moon to be hit with a projectile at least 125km (77 mils) in size, travelling at 10 km/s (22,369 mph). This would create a crater measuring 974 km (604 miles), much smaller than the Aitken crater (pictured) on the far side of the Moon, which is far bigger than this. This proves it is at least possible for the asteroid to have come from the moon
A 1km-wide asteroid called (101429) 1998 VF31 was first spotted 22 years ago and new analysis reveals it is 'strikingly similar' to the moon, astronomers say
(stock)
'This is considerably smaller than the size of the largest lunar basin, therefore this scenario is at least plausible,' the researchers write in their study, published today in the journal Icarus.
While there has not been another asteroid discovered which could be an ancient remnant of the moon, the researchers believe there could well be more undiscovered lunar 'twins'.
'It is sensible to expect that if there is one there could be more,' Dr Christou says.
'However, to preserve those objects for 4 billion years until today they would need to have been trapped early on in similar "safe havens" along the orbits of nearby planets, Mars or the Earth.
'Perhaps there is some other asteroid out there that looks exactly like this one; so far we haven't found it. But we will keep looking.'
WHAT IS A LANGRANGE POINT?
A Lagrange point is a spot in space where the combined gravitational forces of two large bodies are equivalent to the centrifugal force of another body.
The way the forces interact creates a net directional force of zero and allows an object to stay stationary in space.
These points are named after Joseph-Louis Lagrange, an 18th-century mathematician who wrote about them in 1772.
major astronomical bodies have five points - labelled L1, L2, L3 L4 and L5.
L1, L2 and L3 are all unstable as they rely entirely on a fragile equilibrium.
L4 and L5 are far more stable.
L1 - Between the two objects. This location between the sun and the Earth is currently occupied by SOHO - Solar and Heliospheric Observatory and the Deep Space Climate Observatory.
L2 - The second spot is a million miles beyond Earth and in the opposite direction to the sun. This is currently occupied by NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) and will be the target area for the upcoming James Web telescope.
L3 - This spot lies behind the sun and away from Earth. This spot remains, as of yet, unoccupied.
L4 and L5 - They lie along Earth's orbit at 60 degrees ahead of and behind Earth.
Nasa has created the four concepts and has said they will likely be positioned at L2 - an astronomical position a million miles beyond Earth and in the opposite direction to the sun
A new study has suggested that astronomers have located our moon’s “long-lost twin”. The asteroid, that’s called (101429) 1998 VF31, measures 3,280 feet (1 kilometer or 0.62 miles) in width and is located behind Mars. Even though it was first discovered 22 years ago, recent studies have just revealed that it is “strikingly similar” to our moon.
The asteroid was studied by scientists from the Armagh Observatory and Planetarium (AOP) in Northern Ireland and they believe that it did break off of our moon approximately 4 billion years ago during a gigantic impact.
In an interview with MailOnline, Dr. Apostolos Christou from AOP explained how they used spectral matching to study the space rock. “It’s similar to the photo-IDing done by the police when chasing crooks, you try to match your data – the spectral profile – against the same type of data taken from other objects, for example other asteroids or meteorites,” he said, adding, “None of these matches were particularly satisfactory until we included spectra of the Moon in our analysis. The similarity to parts of the lunar surface was striking.”
Some of the moon’s many craters.
The asteroid is part of the Mars Trojans and orbits our sun at around a 60 degree angle either behind or in front of the Red Planet. It is stuck in the Lagrange point which is a spot where the combined gravitational forces of two bigger objects cancel each other out, causing the third smaller body to remain in place.
Based on their research, scientists noticed that VF31 is much different than the other Mars Trojans as it had certain resemblances to our moon. They think that a big asteroid hit the moon which caused a piece of the lunar surface to break off.
Dr. Christou explained this further, “The space between the newly-formed planets was full of debris and collisions were commonplace.” “Large asteroids – we call these planetesimals – were hitting the Moon and the other planets.” “A shard from such a collision could have reached the orbit of Mars when the planet was still forming and was trapped in its Trojan clouds.”
Prior studies were conducted in order to predict the series of events in which the lunar chunk would have been launched into space. Based on the fact that the rock is only about a kilometer in width, it would have been flying at a speed of around 5,368 miles per hour in order to leave the gravitational pull of the moon. It would have then been traveling at a minimum speed of 7,829 mph when it entered into the sun’s orbit.
And in order for the space rock to travel at this tremendous speed, the moon would have been hit by an object that measured at least 77 miles and traveling at around 22,369 mph prior to the impact. The impact would have made a crater that measured approximately 604 miles in width. In their study (which can be read here), the researchers wrote in part, “This is considerably smaller than the size of the largest lunar basin; therefore this scenario is at least plausible.”
What’s even more shocking is that there may be more moon “twins” lurking around the solar system. “Perhaps there is some other asteroid out there that looks exactly like this one; so far we haven’t found it. But we will keep looking,” Dr. Christou stated.
While it isn’t confirmed yet that the space rock is in fact a piece of the moon, the new research is certainly compelling.

Dr. Steven Greer: Preparing For Contact... Early Age Experiences of the UFO Phenomenon
Dr. Steven Greer: Preparing For Contact... Early Age Experiences of the UFO Phenomenon
COAST TO COAST AM INSIDER Archived Show - Dr. Steven Greer returned to discuss his memoir Hidden Truth: Forbidden Knowledge, as well as to comment on ufology and disclosure. His latest book chronicles his UFO/alien encounters that began at an early age. At 8 he saw his first UFO, a silvery disc, and later he began to have lucid dreams where he was onboard the craft.
At 17, Greer said he had an NDE where he experienced “cosmic consciousness” (being at one with the universe) with two enlightened beings. Later in 1973, while at the top of a mountain, he described encountering a 3-4 ft.-tall ET lifeform that floated him into a spacecraft where he meditated with several ETs from different planetary systems.
Guys I found this really cool looking UFO that has landed on the moon. I was using an Arizona State University/NASA map so its not just a photo...and it had a measurement in the lower right hand corner. The ruler says this craft is 50 meters across. The craft also had a long horn like arm coming out one side of the front and an huge black opening into the craft. This could be some kind of mining craft, but it is a bit small. Probably a transport for equipment and such. Made a video to give you more looks at this and see it on the actual map. Please subscribe to my channel UFO Sightings Daily.

Glowing UFO Over Ancient City of Thessaloniki Greece Aug 15, 2020, UFO Sighting News.
Glowing UFO Over Ancient City of Thessaloniki Greece Aug 15, 2020, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Aug 15, 2020
Location of sighting: Thessaloniki, Greece
Watch this video and you will see a huge flashing UFO over the ancient city of Thessaloniki, Greece. The city was founded over 2335 years ago in 315 BC. That makes this area a very important location since aliens can monitor the human inhabitants over a long time period and make accurate predictions of the future of the city. This glowing light looks similar to the one seen a back in 2011 over Dome of Rock (Holy temple) in Jerusalem in which thousands saw the UFO and recorded it. This...is the same UFO.

BELOW IS A NEWS VIDEO OF THE EXACT SAME UFO IN 2011 OVER THE HOLY TEMPLE OF DOME OF ROCK, JERUSALEM.
