Is there an alien world buried WITHIN Earth? Mysterious blobs of dense rock lurking deep in the mantle could be remnants of the ancient planet Theia, study finds

• Researchers use seismic waves to track the size of 'strange blobs' in the mantle

• They are hundreds of miles tall and thousands of miles across near the core 

• New theories suggest they were part of an ancient planet that collided with Earth

• Named Theia, the collision resulted in the creation of the moon, the core of the two early worlds merging, and the depositing of these blobs in the mantle 

By RYAN MORRISON FOR MAILONLINE 

Blobs of rock lurking deep inside the planet could be the last remaining pieces of Theia, an early world that collided with Earth billions of years ago, a new study claims.

The moon is thought to have formed from a 'giant impact' early in the evolution of the solar system when a Mars-sized planet called Theia collided with the Earth. 

Deep within the Earth are a number of strange, huge blobs of dense rock called large low-shear-velocity provinces (LLSVPs) and a team from Arizona State University believe these massive regions may be parts of that long-destroyed proto-world.

One of these LLSVPs is buried under Africa and another deep below the Pacific Ocean, both so large they are involved with the weakening of Earth's magnetic field.

Qian Yuan, author of this theory, suggests the blobs, which 'straddle the Earth's core like headphones' are denser and chemically different to the rock surrounding them.

This artist's concept shows a celestial body about the size of our moon slamming into a body the size of Mercury in a scenario that could be similar to Theia colliding with Earth

ASU scientists believe Theia and the proto-Earth came together to form not just the moon but also a new, larger core, with Theia leaving 'blobs' of rocks in the Earth's mantle

Yuan said Theia's mantle was denser than that of the Earth, and so when the world's collided parts of the smaller planet sank deep inside the mantle of our world. 

The mantle is a mostly-solid 1,800 mile thick interior of the Earth that lies between the core and the crust. It makes up 84 per cent of the total volume of the Earth.

The 'Great Impact' theory aligns well with some of the physical aspects of the Earth-moon system, according to the team, but no proof of Theia has been found. 

This event happened between 20 and a 100 million years after the solar system itself first began to form around the Sun - about 4.5 billion years ago.

Some supporters of the theory have suggested that the cores of the two primordial worlds 'fused into one', possibly releasing chemicals needed to support life.

The latest theory by Yuan, a PhD student at Arizona State, draws in the LLSVP blobs to the Earth/Theia merger concept - suggesting they are evidence of the collision. 

These blobs are up to 620 miles tall and thousands of miles wide, making up the 'largest single thing' inside the mantle of the Earth, Yuan explained.

Several theories try to explain their existence, including the idea they crystallised out of the depths of Earth's early magma ocean, or actual parts of the mantle from proto-planet Theia that collided with the Earth, as Yuan and his colleagues suggest. 

Yuan suggests that the blobs are ancient fragments of Theia's iron-rich and highly dense mantle which sank into Earth's own mantle when they came together. 

'We demonstrate that Theia's mantle may be several percent denser than Earth's mantle,' he said in a presentation to the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference.

His modelling revealed that Theia's rocks would be up to 3.5 per cent denser than those found in the Earth's mantle, allowing them to sink through the viscous rock. 

Adding that this 'enables the Theia mantle materials to sink to the Earth's lowermost mantle and accumulate into thermochemical piles that may cause the seismically-observed LLSVPs.' 

Over time these rocks would end up as piles near the Earth's core, which matches with the location of LLSVPs, he said, adding that only an impactor the size of the Theia could deliver rocks the size of the ones near the core.  

Previous research has shown that the chemical signatures coming from the LLSVPs are 'at least as primitive' as the Theia impact - dating to early in the solar system. 

Qian Yuan, author of this theory, suggests the blobs, which 'straddle the Earth's core like headphones' are denser and chemically different to the rock surrounding them

The moon is thought to have formed from a 'giant impact' early in the evolution of the solar system when a Mars-sized planet called Theia collided with the Earth

'Therefore, the primitive materials may be from the LLSVPs, which is well explained if the LLSVPs preserve Theia mantle materials that are older than the Giant Impact,' Yuan explained in the presentation.

The early solar system was a chaotic and violent place. Debris would slam into growing planets, smaller planetesimals were just forming and coming together from smaller rocks and sometimes these would completely destroy forming worlds. 

In the case of Theia, it appears to have combined with Earth, possibly created a cloud of debris that went on to form our moon.

The LLSVPs have only been detected through monitoring seismic waves, which allows scientists to get a picture of their size and density.

This allows them to also predict the type of material that would be contained within the rock, with scientists finding a number of small, dense pockets of rock within the mantle that don't match the surrounding material.

This suggests if Theia really is at the bottom of the mantle, it may not be alone, with remnants of other proto-planets that once hit the young Earth buried alongside it. 

'Theia, in fact, might be just one grave in a planetary cemetery,' said Jennifer Jenkins, a seismologist at Durham University, speaking to Science. 

Yuan and colleagues presented their findings to the 52nd Lunar and Planetary Science Conference.

Many scientists believe that the Moon formed when a Mars-sized planet, called Theia, struck Earth around 4.5 billion years ago. 

Now, a team of scientists theorize that Theia’s remains are what formed two mysterious, continent-sized blobs of rock buried deep in Earth’s mantle. 

For decades, seismologists have puzzled over these two blobs, which sit below West Africa and the Pacific Ocean, and straddle Earth’s core like a pair of headphones. 

Up to 1000 kilometers tall and several times that wide, “they are the largest thing in Earth’s mantle,” says Qian Yuan, a Ph.D. student in geodynamics at Arizona State University. 

Seismic waves from earthquakes abruptly slow down when they pass through the layers, which suggests they are denser and chemically different from the surrounding mantle rock. 

These blobs might simply have crystallized out of the depths of Earth’s primordial magma ocean. But based on new isotopic evidence and modeling, Yuan believes the blobs are the guts of the theoretical alien impactor planet. 

The study is currently under review.

In 1961, astronomer and astrophysicist Frank Drake developed an equation to estimate the number of active extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy using factors such as rate of star formation, number of planets, length of time intelligent civilizations needed to release detectable signals into space and other obviously speculate but ‘intelligent’ guesses. The now famous Drake Equation, with Drake’s estimates, gave a range from a minimum of 20 to a maximum of 50,000,000. The equation has been debated and refined and has inspired many people to join the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). Not James Benford. He has developed his own version of the Drake equation to look for signs of extraterrestrial artifacts (SETA) and it tells him we should find them on the Moon. Do lunar astronauts need to start carrying metal detectors?

This is going to get me to the Moon!

“The virtue of searching for artifacts is their lingering endurance in space, long after they go dead.”

In a study published in the journal in the journal Astrobiology and reviewed by Space.com, James Benford, a physicist at Microwave Sciences in Lafayette, California, outlines his justifications for SETA over SETI – specifically, that artifacts last far longer the signals, they can be left as static indicators of alien presence and observation by ETs who don’t want to be discovered until after they leave, and they can be found on planets and space bodies that don’t necessarily show signs of life, like the Moon.

“I construct a ratio of a SETA Drake equation for artifacts to the conventional Drake equation so that most terms cancel out. This ratio is a good way to debate the efficacy of SETI versus SETA. The ratio is the product of two terms: one is the ratio of the length of time that probes from extraterrestrial (ET) civilizations could be present in the near-Earth region to the length of time that ET civilizations transmit signals to the Solar System. The second term is the ratio of the respective origin volumes: the volume from which probes can come, which is affected by the long-term passage of stars near the Sun, to the volume of transmitting civilizations.”

Benford thinks SETA is more appealing because it involves an active search, while SETI is more of a passive sit-and-wait-for-a-signal approach. Also, artifacts are a better sign of an advanced intelligence capable of long-distance space travel, whereas we humans are capable of sending signals but not traveling too far or too fast in space. Who wants to find more beings who can only do that?

“You can see Neil Armstrong’s footprints on the moon in some photos, but only a handful of these images have been inspected by human eyes. We need to use AI [artificial intelligence] software to look for structures, for signs of artificiality, which could benefit sciences on Earth, such as archaeology.”

Benford argues that NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has taken about 2 million photos of the moon since 2009 but they haven’t been analyzed for signs of non-lunar artificiality – artifacts. He also proposes that the solar system could have been visited by ETs from stars that have passed near the Sun — Scholz’s Star came within 0.82 light-years of the sun just 70,000 years ago, and two stars came with 10 light years in the past 10,000 years. ETs from those stars could have sent robotic probes just as we do to Mars and the Moon – probes that can survive for millions of years in those types of environments.

If this isn’t Alan Shepard’s golf ball, I think I’m going to like these aliens.

Benford is not the first to propose looking for alien artifacts, but he’s the first to develop an alternative Drake equation for SETA. Searching for alien artifacts, even if it’s just on photographs, beats waiting around for contact or for humans to develop interstellar space travel.

Sorry Dr. Drake!

Leaked UFO Video Footage of "Pyramids Prowling the Sky" New Analysis of 'Pentagon Confirmed'

NEW Analysis of ‘PENTAGON Confirmed’ Leaked UFO Video Footage of “Pyramids Prowling the Sky”

We are living in very unique, changing times and during these times I have become more than intrigued by these changes and what is causing them. I’m referring to the earth changes, changes in our sun and how the earth’s atmosphere manages this what I believe to be a much different sunlight.

Over the last 10 years I have become very familiar with our planet, the mechanics of it and how it reacts to many different aspects of space weather and many other things as well. I monitor everything from the sea floor to the cosmos and everything in between. I am a full-time Watchman and as these uncertain times move forward I’ve got your back. When you really need to know…you’ll know. Your Earth Watchman, MrMBB333

Strange Biblical Prophecy Announces the End of the World And an Alien Invasion

Are you ready for the end of the world? Again? According to an evangelical theologian, the apocalypse is coming and the end of the world will around 2021, and our civilization is on the brink of being annihilated. The recently deceased evangelical theologian Dr. F. Kenton Beshore, president of the “World Bible Society” claimed that, according to a series of messages hidden deep within the Bible, the end of the world would take place before the year 2021 and would include a violent extraterrestrial invasion.

The World Bible Society is convinced that not only will the apocalypse occur very soon, but Jesus will return to Earth soon after. According to the World Bible Society the world will end on or before the year 2021, and Jesus will return to Earth in 2028 after the apocalypse. Beshore based his curious apocalyptic predictions on various verses of the Bible that predict the coming of strong voices and lights from the heavens announcing the second arrival of Jesus Christ to Earth. The theologian, in addition, liked to warn during his sermons, that before the arrival of Christ a series of catastrophes would happen on the planet that would include the rise of the Antichrist to power and numerous signs in the sun, moon and stars would generate panic among the world population.

In his book When:

When Will the Rapture Take Place?, the theologian writes: “The parable of the fig tree is a prophecy of the rebirth of the nation of Israel.” He explains: “The Greek phrase ‘panta tauta’ that is translated ‘all these things’ refers to the beginning of birth pains (Matthew 24:8).” “Jesus was saying, in effect, that when you see the birth pains – World War I and II and famines, pestilences and earthquakes – you will know that His return is drawing near. The Greek word genea is translated ‘generation.’” “It literally means ‘born one.’ Jesus said this ‘born one’ (nation of Israel) will be in existence when He returns.” Dr. Beshore explained: “Seven major signs have already been fulfilled, five major signs are currently being fulfilled, and 15 more major signs are yet to be fulfilled. “Those who are watching are the Lord’s obedient servants. The Lord Jesus commanded us to watch for his return.” However, skeptics and many others believe that nothing will happen by 2021 and none of the above should be taken seriously. Even the followers of Beshore have begun doubting the prophecies since the man claimed that these apocalyptic manifestations would begin in 2018, and –surprisingly– nothing has happened so far.

Enormous Alien Craft Encounter In South Dakota

NOVEMBER 1956 ……….GRACEVILLE SOUTH DAKOTA

REDFIELD, S.D. — A young truck driver who said he “never held any stock in flying saucer stories” told Wednesday of seeing a huge object in the sky that changed colors and moved with tremendous speed.

Others, including three newspapermen, also reported seeing the object at great distance.

Marlen Hewitt, driver for a dairy here, told this story of wacthing the object as he drove a tank truck from Pelican Rapids, Minn., to Redfield:

“It was about 1:15 when I first spotted it as I drove along. At first I thought it was a star, I’ve never seen a star that bright. There were other stars out at the time, and only a few high clouds in the sky.

“As I went on down the road toward Graceville, it changed colors a couple of times. Near Graceville, it changed colors four times.

“I thought my eyes were playing tricks with me. I stopped, turned off the lights and got out of the truck to stretch my legs. As I rounded the back of the truck, this thing swooped down about a half mile to the east of me and stopped about 1,000 feet up.

“I was very frightened — I was terrified.

“If it had been on the ground, it would have covered about a square block. It looked to be about 12 feet thick. It was a slate gray color, and from the distance looked like it was metal. It was round, and at the base was an opening about 1/10th the size of the object from which a very brilliant light was shining.

“It would tilt around and back and forth, gaining maybe 3,000 or 4,000 feet in the flick of any eye.

“Around the edge of this thing was a lighted outline. I couldn’t tell if there were windows in the lighted part or if there was exhaust coming out all around it.

“It would change colors from a blue-white to orange to red. I wanted to get out of there, so I jumped back into the truck and turned on the lights.

“When my lights went on, the thing turned a bright cherry red and shot up into the high clouds. It moved faster than anything I ever saw.

“As I drove toward Ortonville, it dropped down and went to the southwest at a tremendous rate of speed. Then it stopped and hovered.

“I could still see the light in the cloud when I got to Ortonville, and some editors who were going hunting came out of an eating place and watched it with me.

“After I got to Big Stone City, it came down out of the clouds again, further away but still changing colors.”

Hewitt said the object disappeared about five hours after he had first spotted the bright light in the sky. He had traveled about 150 miles in the meantime.

He said the roads were “very deserted” at the time and that as far as he knew the only others to see the object were those at Ortonville.

Hewitt said the object mde no noise. He added there was a little wind at the time the object was at its lowest level and it seemed to move into and away from the wind with equal speed.

Among the hunters who saw the object at Ortonville were three newspapermen, Lem Kaercher of the Ortonville Independent and Don and Dick Olson of the Marshall Messenger. NOTE: The above image is CGI.

The two names most associated with Planet Nine are astronomers Michael Brown and Konstantin Batygin of Caltech. In 2016, they published a paper about their simulation of Extreme Trans-Neptunian Objects (ETNOs) to determine why these faraway space rocks share the same angle at perihelion, the point in their orbit that is closest to the Sun, and concluded this could be caused by a large planet not more than 10,000 astronomical units from the Sun – anything beyond that would be out of the gravitational pull of the Sun – that was somewhere in the Oort Cloud. The pair recently released a new paper based on new data and simulations which will help Planet Nine hunters, including Brown and Batygin, narrow their search. Before you buy a bigger telescope and a new star map, you may want to hear them out.

“Due to the long-term gravitational pull of Planet Nine’s orbit, inner Oort Cloud objects evolve on billion-year timescales, slowly getting re-injected into the outer solar system. So what happens to them? We have simulated this process, accounting for perturbations from the canonical giant planets, Planet Nine, passing stars, as well as the galactic tide, and have found that these re-injected inner Oort Cloud objects can readily mix in with the census of distant Kuiper belt objects, and even exhibit orbital clustering.”

On their Find Planet Nine blog, Brown and Batygin revise their thinking about the Oort Cloud based on new simulations which use the 19 now-known ETNOs rather than the original six used in 2016. Where they once assumed objects in the Oort Cloud were static, they now consider the possibility that some could have come from the Kuiper Belt, which is close enough to the Sun to contain Pluto and the other minor planets. Further, they propose that there is still movement going on in both directions between the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud, specifically in the inner Oort Cloud. Finally, that inner Oort Cloud was affected during its creation by both Saturn and Neptune flinging debris outward while nearby developing stars in the early formation of the galaxy pushed them back towards the Sun. The result is a dense – relative to the rest of the Oort Cloud – ring of space objects.

“However, the degree of clustering they show is prominently weaker, suggesting that a more eccentric P9 is required to explain the data. Another intriguing aspect of these calculations is that they produce a more radially extended distribution of long-period TNOs, providing an intriguing potential explanation for the abundance of highly long-period orbits, such as that of the Goblin.”

The Goblin – formally named 541132 Leleākūhonua – was the third ETNO discovered and is known for its extreme orbit around the Sun at a distance of 65–2000 AU once every 32,000 years with a very high eccentricity of 0.94 and angle of inclination relative to the standard planetry plane. All of that made both simulations digitally scream “Planet Nine!” with the more recent one adding “In the inner Oort Cloud!” Put it all together and it tells Planet Nine hunters to look for it in the inner Oort cloud at an orbital eccentricity and angle similar to the Goblin’s. That narrows the area down, but it’s still far beyond Pluto and the Kuiper Belt. Needless to say, Brown and Batygin are excited.

“All in all, as scientists, our primary role is to continue hammering away at the hypothesis, and our new simulations indicate that there exists an intriguing additional mode of P9-induced dynamics affecting our efforts to pin down the orbit of Planet Nine. With each theoretical breakthrough, the observational search comes into sharper focus.”

In other words, keep looking!

Prince Philip was fascinated with UFOs

Prince Philip reportedly had a fascination with UFOs and collected books about aliens.

Anwar Hussein/Getty Images

In addition to his many earthly pursuits, the late Prince Philip also looked to the skies to watch for UFOs — and had amassed a large collection of books on the subject, according to reports.

The Duke of Edinburgh, who died Friday at age 99, was fascinated with close encounters and was a regular subscriber of Flying Saucer Review, a quarterly magazine established in 1955, according to the UK’s Metro.

He first developed an interest in UFOs from his uncle Lord Mountbatten, who wrote an official report about a spaceship that reportedly landed on his estate in Romsey, Hampshire, in 1955, the Sun said.

Philip had given his former assistant Sir Peter Horsley, a senior Royal Air Force commander who died in 2001 at age 80, “carte blanche” to collect stories about UFOs from the RAF, according to Metro.

In his 1997 autobiography, “Sounds From Another Room,” Horsley described his own fascination with UFOs, which began when he was Philip’s equerry, or royal attendant, from 1949 to 1956.

Horsley, who wrote about a close encounter with an “alien” in London in 1954, said he was asked to bring witnesses to Buckingham Palace for private discussions with the Duke, Metro reported.

In 2019, Philip read “The Halt Perspective,” written by retired US Air Force Col. Charles Halt, a former deputy commander of RAF Bentwaters, who described how he led a patrol to investigate an alleged UFO landing in the Rendlesham Forest in 1980.

The incident was dubbed “Britain’s Roswell” after the famous 1947 crash of a US Army Air Forces balloon in New Mexico that spawned rumors that the wreckage came from a “flying disc.”

Among the books about extraterrestrials in Philip’s collection was “Haunted Skies: The Encyclopedia of British UFOs,” whose author, retired West Midlands detective John Hanson, said the Duke had a dozen of his works, according to Metro.

“I’ve got about 12 letters from the Duke’s private secretary that say the prince found the subject interesting,” Hanson, who co-wrote “The Halt Perspective,” told I News.

“I’m quite proud of Prince Philip, why shouldn’t he have been interested in UFOs, because for goodness’ sake, that is something that we should treat seriously rather than flippantly. It is a phenomenon that has baffled mankind for millennia,” he said.

“Even Prince Charles is interested in it and Prince William,” Hanson added.

In his book, Horsley claims that in 1954, he had an encounter with an alien called “Mr. Janus,” who could read his mind.

“He didn’t say he was a visitor from another planet — but I had that impression,” he wrote. “I believe he was here to observe us. I never saw him again. I have no qualms about the reaction to my experience with Mr. Janus.”

He added that Janus wished to meet Philip, whom he described as a “man of great vision.”

The “What could possibly go wrong” file is so full, it may be time to give China its own manila folder for its experiments with human-animal chimeras that not only cross the ethical line – they wipe it out completely with genetically-altered erasers. The latest entry in the file is an experiment that attempts to reach the unholy grail of hybrids – human-monkey chimeras, created under the ‘good intentions’ guise of developing ways to address the severe shortage of human organs for transplants. Before you start pointing fingers at China’s Kunming University of Science and Technology, the leader of this experiment was an American from the Salk Institute in California who has also been involved in creating human-pig chimeras. Do we need to start TWO files?

“We studied the chimeric competency of human extended pluripotent stem cells (hEPSCs) in cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis) embryos cultured ex vivo. We demonstrate that hEPSCs survived, proliferated, and generated several peri- and early post-implantation cell lineages inside monkey embryos.”

Whoa!

In their new paper published in the journal Cell, American geneticist Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte and a team of researchers in China led by primate reproduction biologist Weizhi Ji announced they have successfully injected 25 human stem cells into developing five-day-old macaque monkey embryos, and of the 132 human-monkey chimera embryos created, 103 were still alive after 10 days and 3 survived for 20 days in lab dishes. That’s an impressive success rate when compared to Izpisúa Belmonte’s experiments with human-pig and other chimeras, and he tells Live Science it’s because “the evolutionary distance is smaller” between humans and monkeys.

“Generation of a chimera between human and non-human primate, a species more closely related to humans along the evolutionary timeline than all previously used species, will allow us to gain better insight into whether there are evolutionarily imposed barriers to chimera generation and if there are any means by which we can overcome them.”

In the press release, Izpisúa Belmonte even destroys the chalk used to draw the ethical line by revealing his experiments seek to hurdle the barriers to chimera generation. Right now, by doing the experiments in China, the only barriers he hasn’t hurdled are regulations in other countries. Alejandro De Los Angeles, a stem cell biologist at the Yale University School of Medicine who was not involved in the study, told Live Science:

“The embryos here were not transferred into a uterus, and thus could not lead to living chimeric animals or even fetuses. Implantation of human-monkey embryos would be ethically contentious and will need to be discussed by scientists, ethicists and the public before moving forward with such experiments.”

Right — just like the creation of these human-monkey embryos was … not. In fact, one of the big concerns about allowing human-monkey chimeras to live longer is that the human cells would migrate to the monkey brains and grow there, transferring humanness to them. Unfortunately, it appears some communications already occurred in the 20-day-old chimera embryos, according Izpisua Belmonte in the press release.

“From these analyses, several communication pathways that were either novel or strengthened in the chimeric cells were identified. Understanding which pathways are involved in chimeric cell communication will allow us to possibly enhance this communication and increase the efficiency of chimerism in a host species that’s more evolutionarily distant to humans.”

This is too much!

Even if we eliminate the more cinematic, sci-fi and dystopian scenarios from the “what could possibly go wrong” discussions, there are still plenty of other outcomes worth worrying about and preventing. As always, the reality is that these experiments are being conducted in China and those scenarios may have already played out, even though Izpisua Belmonte assures us that “it is our responsibility as scientists to conduct our research thoughtfully, following all the ethical, legal, and social guidelines in place.”

Sorry, Izpisua Belmonte. What if you’re in a place where there are no such guidelines? Isn’t that why you went to China?

How many more “What could possibly go wrong” files do we need? Is it time for a cabinet? A warehouse?

Pentagon Confirms Footage Of UFOs Over Navy Ship, Possible US Cover-Up, Raw Footage, UFO Sighting News.

 

Date of sighting: 2019

Location of sighting: California Coast, USA

News source: US Pentagon

A Pentagon spokesperson confirmed that the photos and videos were taken by Navy personnel and the UAP Task Force has “included these incidents in their ongoing examinations.”

 

Now its clear when I look at this video that there are several triangle shaped alien craft flying above them. This screenshot I took confirms that UFOs are not always perfectly shaped objects, but instead are often uneven as if they were biologically grown. Imagine a living ship, grown and self sustaining yet in your control. The person recording them is using a type 1 or type 2 generation night vision scope. Also if you noticed when the sailer zoomed it...lots of white objects were recoded flying around. Those are tiny drones that come out of the UFO and surround all areas of the ship making the main UFO aware if any weapons or hostile actions are taking place on the Navy ship below. Before the UFO leaves, those tiny probes will return themselves. Now the Pentagon themselves confirmed these are 100% real UFOs. But...also know, the US military has had triangle craft that are different evolutions of the original TR3B, but now much more advance. These craft could be US Navy. Many top secret craft are given to the US Navy and if the video of a Navy TR3B was leaked by someone...then Navy would confuse the public by spreading disinformation about it saying its just a UFO. Thus, the public too will believe it. But very well could be a US military fleet of TR3B craft. Guys, I smell cover-up. This is 100% US Navy TR3B we have in this video!

11 of the Most Mysterious Unresolved UFO Cases of the Modern Era

Are UFOs worth researching? Could they be real? We take a look at some of recent history's best known cases.

By  Chris Young

It's time to take UFOs seriously. So says Alexander Wendt, a professor of international relations at Ohio State University, who believes researchers should fight the UFO taboo, investigate, and pursue an explanation for the unidentified objects as they would any other field of science.

In fact, the once-secretive U.S. government-funded $22 million program, known as the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program (AATIP), which investigated UFOs from 2007 to 2012, shows that the U.S. government did take the issue seriously. And it wasn't the first program of its kind.

• RELATED: THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SCIENCE AND PSEUDOSCIENCE WHEN IT COMES TO UFOS

Here's a look at a few of recent history's most famous UFO sightings, and the government programs that were born from their investigations.

1. The Kenneth Arnold Sighting, 1947

On June 24, 1947, a private pilot called Kenneth Arnold was flying his CallAir A-2 airplane in the state of Washington when he saw a series of bright flashes coming from north of Mt. Ranier. When he later likened their movements to "saucers skipping on water," the press picked it up, and so began our modern fascination with flying saucers and UFOs.

The claims were taken seriously by U.S. officials as, ten days after Arnold's experience, they were corroborated when a United Airlines crew on a plane to Seattle spotted five to nine disk-like objects that kept pace with their aircraft for 10 to 15 minutes.

Other witnesses also came forward saying they had seen silver disks from the ground, and several sighting reports were filed by the U.S. government.

During his statement, Arnold claimed the objects were too fast to be any existing human aircraft, and that they easily darted in and out of valleys with impressive maneuvers. 

Arnold's sightings directly led to to the formation of Project Sign at the end of 1947, the first publicly-acknowledged U.S. Air Force UFO investigation. Project Sign evolved into Project Grudge, which then became known as Project Blue Book.

2. The Roswell UFO incident, 1947

Only a few weeks after Arnold's sightings, came an event that has gone down as the most famous in UFO history to date. In the summer of 1947, rancher William Brazel discovered mysterious debris, including metallic rods, chunks of plastic, and unusual, papery scraps, in one of his New Mexico fields.

After Brazel reported the wreckage, soldiers from the nearby Roswell Army Air Force Base came to retrieve the materials. News headlines at the time claimed that a “flying saucer” crashed in Roswell.

Though the U.S. Army Air Force eventually claimed the object was part of an experimental nuclear test detecting balloon technology made for the highly classified Project Mogul, Jesse Marcel, the officer who originally assessed the crash site, countered this with the following statement:

"It was not anything from this Earth, that I'm quite sure of... I was familiar with just about all the materials used in aircraft and/or air travel. This was nothing like that...It could not have been."

3. The Tehran UFO incident, 1976

The September 19, 1976, incident in Tehran, Iran, started with phone calls from concerned citizens reporting a bright light in the sky. 

Iran's military sent out F-4 fighter jets to investigate. As they approached the object, their instruments started to malfunction. One pilot said he saw a bright light being released from the UFO. Thinking it was a missile sent his way, the pilot tried to open fire, but malfunctioning equipment didn't let him release any rounds.

Some believe the bright light may have been Jupiter, which was especially bright in the sky that night. The glowing object may have been meteors that were seen above Iran the same day. Others believe the object was a UFO.

4. Rendlesham Forest eyewitness accounts, 1980

The Rendlesham Forest UFO incident, which took place in the county of Suffolk in the United Kingdom, stands out as being one of the few cases where eyewitnesses said they saw a craft land after weaving through trees in a forest.

One USAF witness — the U.S. Air Force was stationed at a Royal Air Force base at the time — said, "I moved a little closer... I walked around the craft, and finally, I walked right up to the craft. I noticed the fabric of the shell was more like a smooth, opaque, black glass.”

While the U.K.'s Ministry of Defence claimed that the lights seen were caused by the nearby Orfordness lighthouse, eyewitnesses from the time claim, to this day, that they saw something that was not of this earth, that his since been covered up.

5. The Belgian UFO Wave, 1989-90

The Belgian UFO wave is especially notable because it involves approximately 13,500 people who claim to have witnessed the incident, which took place over the course of several months.

At the end of November 1989, citizens of Belgium reported seeing a large, triangular UFO hovering in the sky. In March of 1990, new sightings were confirmed by two military radar stations. Two F-16 fighter jets were sent out to investigate. Though the pilots could not see anything, they were able to lock onto an extremely fast-moving object, that quickly disappeared, using their radar.

The photo above was widely spread a few months after the incident took place, though someone later came forward to say he had faked the image. The Belgian Air Force has admitted to having no logical explanation for the activity.

6. The Phoenix lights, 1997

On March 13, 1997, between 7:30 and 10:30 p.m., thousands of people reported seeing strange, bright lights over Nevada, Arizona, and part of Mexico.

The first event to be seen was described as a V-shaped object flying through the sky, which was roughly the size of a commercial airplane.

According to Ktar.com, one witness said, "we don’t have anything that big,” he said. “It was totally silent. I’ve never seen anything even close to the colors from the exhaust that propelled that thing. It was as big as downtown Prescott and completely blocked out the stars."

7. The lights above the New Jersey Turnpike, 2001

On July 14, 2001, several drivers on the New Jersey Turnpike stopped for around 15 minutes just after midnight to gaze at strange orange and yellow lights that were shaped in a V formation over the Arthur Kill Waterway between Staten Island, New York, and Carteret, New Jersey. One of the witnesses was Carteret Police Department’s Lt. Daniel Tarrant.

While air-traffic controllers denied that any planes, military jets, or space flights could have caused the lights, a group, known as the New York Strange Phenomena Investigators (NY-SPI) claim they have FAA radar data that corroborates the UFO sightings from that night.

8. The USS Nimitz encounter, 2004

On November 14, 2004, the USS Princeton, part of the USS Nimitz carrier strike group, detected an unknown craft on its radar 100 miles off the coast of San Diego. Two weeks following the detection saw the carrier's crew tracking objects that appeared at 80,000 feet before diving to hover right above the Pacific Ocean.

When two FA-18F fighter jets from the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz arrived in the area they spotted a white Tic Tac-shaped object appear from the water. It had no visible markings to indicate an engine, wings or windows, and infrared monitors didn't reveal any exhaust. It accelerated away at twice the top speed of the fighter jets. Video from the encounter is one of the three UFO videos recently declassified by the U.S. Navy.

9. The O'Hare International Airport sighting, 2006

Flight 446 was getting ready to fly to North Carolina from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, on November 7, 2006, when a United Airlines employee on the tarmac saw a dark metallic craft hovering over gate C17. A total of 12 United employees, as well as a few witnesses outside the airport, later witnessed the disk-shaped craft.

The witnesses claim the saucer hovered for about five minutes before rapidly shooting up through the clouds, leaving a blue hole in the cloud cover. O'Hare controller and union official Craig Burzych humorously stated at the time that, "to fly 7 million light-years to O'Hare and then have to turn around and go home because your gate was occupied is simply unacceptable."

Others, the Chicago Tribune reported at the time, were upset that neither the government nor the airline investigated the incident and dismissed it as a "weather phenomenon." 

10. The East Coast flying saucer sighting, 2015

Leaked in 2017 at the same time as news of the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program, the video below reveals an encounter between an F/A-18 Super Hornet and an unidentified flying vehicle that was very similar to the craft spotted off San Diego in 2004.

No explanation ever emerged, though the video is one of the three that has been declassified and released to the public by the U.S. Navy "in order to clear up any misconceptions" about whether the video is real or not. The pilots tracked the object at 25,000 feet above the Atlantic Ocean as it flew away while also rotating on its axis.

11. Project Grudge Report 13 and mutilated farm animals, latest 2019

In March 1956, UFOlogist reports say that Air Force sergeant Jonathan P. Lovette and Major William Cunningham were searching for scattered debris from a recent rocket in the White Sands missile testing grounds near Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico when, as History writes, Cunningham suddenly heard a loud scream from Lovette.

Cunningham hurriedly crossed the dune he was on, thinking he'd find Lovette had been bitten by a snake. Instead, he claimed to have seen the officer with a long snake-like arm wrapped around his legs being dragged into a silver disk hovering above the ground. The craft then pulled Lovette inside, the officer claimed, and rose vertically into the sky.

After Cunningham reported the incident he was taken in for a psychiatric evaluation and searches were launched for Sgt. Lovette. After three days, Lovette's nude deceased body was found. All of his organs were missing. It was noted that they had been removed with extreme precision.

According to UFOlogists, this story accounts for report number 13 of the U.S. government's Project Grudge — reports 1 to 12 and 14 are now declassified, but 13 remains a secret. What's more, mutilations of the same unexplainable nature have been reported in animals as recently as last year.

As Alexander Wendt and Raymond Duvall suggest in a study titled 'Sovereignty and the UFO,' an authoritative UFO taboo exists due to the fact that knowing could upend our society. What do you believe? Are UFOs, also known as UAPs, explainable if we just take the time to research them? Are they even worth researching in the first place?

On the night of September 12, 1952, something terrifying descended upon the small, West Virginian town of Flatwoods. Precisely what it was remains very much a mystery to this day. All that can really be said for sure is that it was hideous, fear-inducing and downright monstrous. It has, quite appropriately, become known as the Flatwoods Monster. Situated in Braxton County and dominated by a cool, picturesque, forested landscape, Flatwoods is a distinctly small town – that much is apparent from the fact that, today, its population is less than four hundred. Back in 1952, though, it was even less than that. On the night in question, however, the people of the town found themselves briefly added to by one visitor from…well…no-one really knows from where. It all began just as the sun was setting on what was a warm, still, September evening. A group of boys from Flatwoods were playing football in the town’s schoolyard when they were frozen to the spot by the sight of a brightly lit, fiery object that shot overhead, provoking amazement and wonder in the process. All that the boys could be sure of was that the object appeared to be either egg-shaped or circular. Its color fluctuated from orange to a fiery red.

As the stunned children watched in awe, they saw the object begin to descend – and at a high rate of speed, no less – and then appear to come down on one of Flatwood’s largest hilltops. Not surprisingly, being kids, they saw this as a big adventure looming large. The result: they, with a woman named Kathleen May and a recent U.S. Army recruit, Eugene Lemon, headed off for the scene of all the action. It wasn’t long before the group reached the hill in question – and with nightfall rapidly closing in. The first thing the group noticed, as they reached the darkened peak, was something brightly lit within the trees. What it was, no-one had a clue. But, it clearly wasn’t the lights of a farmhouse, truck, or car. Suddenly, the air was filled with a sickening odor – not unlike that of devilish brimstone. That was not a good sign. To their credit, however, they pushed on, determined to figure out the true nature of the source behind the lights. They soon found out: as the air became filled with a strange, sizzling sound, nothing less than a pair of self-illuminated red eyes could be seen getting ever closer. Kathleen May had the presence of mind to bring a flashlight with her and she quickly focused it on the eyes. In doing so, she also lit up the abominable creature that possessed those fiery eyes.

Looming before the now-terrified band of intrepid souls was an approximately ten-feet-tall, floating monster. It appeared to be humanoid in shape and had something almost like a large, black hood-like piece behind its head – that gave the entire thing an “Ace of Spades”-type appearance. Oddly, its lower half was ice-cream cone-shaped and had wires and cables running from it. This issue of the cone-shaped lower portion led flying saucer sleuths to later suggest the monster my actually have been encased within some kind of remotely piloted vehicle. As the creature then turned its attention to the group, and wildly fired laser-like beams from its eyes, the brave band was suddenly brave no more. They didn’t wait to see what might happen next. One and all fled, screaming – possibly for their lives. Mrs. May breathlessly shouted to the boys to follow her to her home, which they all did. On arrival, and possibly as a result of exposure to the noxious odor that hung around the hill, several of the boys became violently ill, feeling nauseous and even outright vomiting.

Kathleen May quickly called the local police, who, rather intriguingly, were busy responding to reports of what was described as an “airplane crash” somewhere in the area. It turns out that no such crashed aircraft was ever found – something that suggests the “airplane” and the brightly lit UFO that descended upon the high hill that night were, almost certainly, one and the very same. As a result of the fact that Flatwoods was, and still is, a very small town, word soon got out about what had happened. The local media was quickly on the scene, and even the U.S. Air Force sat up and took careful notice. Despite intense investigations by the press and the military, the mystery of the Flatwoods Monster was never solved to the satisfaction of everyone: the creature was long gone by the time anyone else was on the scene. It is, however, decidedly interesting to note that Flatwoods is only around 125 miles from the town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, where, from 1966 to 1967, yet another red-eyed monster was seen. Its famous name is, of course, Mothman.
