Ukrainian Burial Mound Dig Reveals 5,500-Year-Old Stonehenge-like Structure

Scythians and other warring cultures and the archaeological remnants of their history are under attack by developers in Ukraine looking to construct new luxury country homes. There are two roadblocks in their quest for unrestricted profiteering. The first comes in the form of 4,000-5,500-year-old burial mounds, almost 100,000 in number and scattered across the countryside, which are only protected by a very thin topsoil.

The stone circle discovered within the Ukrainian burial mound.

“It has a very thin topsoil, literally 10 cm. This is very little and it is causing it to swell, deteriorate, etc. This is why it was decided to investigate it",  says Dmitry Teslenko, head of the Dnieper archaeological expedition of the Ukrainian Archaeological Guard Service.

The second roadblock to the construction project is the nongovernmental preservation group  Guardians of the Mounds , founded in 2019 under the aegis of Oleksandr Klykavka, which has become a national movement over the last 20 months. In the village of Novooleksandrivka, 10 kilometers (6.21 miles) south of the town of Dnipro in east-central Ukraine, “excavations of a unique  kurgan or burial mound  have been underway for more than 1.5 months” reports  Archaeology News Network .

The Burial Mounds and their Rationale

These are burial mounds that have attracted  grave robbers  and archaeologists in equal measure, with a variety of artifacts - which includes combs and dishes, but also heaps of golden jewelry, according to  NY Times . The dimensions of the unique kurgan are astounding, 120 x 80 m (393.70 x 262.47 ft.) and 7 m (22.97 ft.) in height! Proper road clearance and construction equipment had to be employed to conduct a field survey of this unimaginable scale, including bulldozers. The excavations have revealed 24 burials from the Bronze Age,  Scythians (Iron age), and the Middle Ages.

"Because of their nomadic nature, the people carried only the bare necessities. However, sometimes interesting finds are found: pots, necklaces made of wolf or dog canines. For example, a burial has now been discovered where dog toe bones were lying next to human remains. A  triple grave  has also been found where the skeleton of a man lay in the middle and the skeletons of a woman and child were pressed against him on each side.",  says Teslenko.

"The central part is being explored now. There is a lot of manual work. We also use machinery. But I would like to point out that all the machinery works solely under the supervision of archaeologists. The bulldozer removes several centimetres of the soil layer and if we see that something is wrong, the work stops,"  says field archaeologist Yaroslav Yaroshenko.

Several historians postulate that the mounds served a purpose that exceeded simple religious rites. Noblemen were sent into the after-life with the  luxuries and status  they enjoyed when alive, along with “ sacrificed wives, servants and horses ”.

There are other interpretations of the mounds too, keeping in mind the topography of the Ukrainian countryside and land, and the ever-looming threat of Russian invasion. The mounds were perhaps erected as a show of strength and  defiance against the enemy , most definitely the Russians, to deter their advance into land that was not theirs.

The Cromlech – A Ukrainian Stonehenge?

The mound was dated to 5,500 years ago, coinciding with the  Eneolithic period  (the transitional period between the Neolithic and Bronze Age, 2500-2000 BC). In the middle of the mound, the “Dnipro Stonehenge” was found – a series of stone blocks (like megaliths) forming an 18 m (59.06 ft.) diameter circle, called a “cromlech”.  According to the archaeologist :

"As for the stone circle, it is worth noting that it had a purely structural function above all. The cromlech is an integral part of a massive complex structure. The structure consisted of a stone circle set vertically. There was a truncated cone on top of the circle. This allowed the ground to be supported and prevented the mound from sprawling outwards. The mounds could then be given other symbolic meanings. For example, one of the most famous cromlechs in the world, Stonehenge, has at various times been interpreted as a druid sanctuary or an astronomical observatory. It is also worth noting that the oldest burials on the Novoalexandrovsky burial mound date to about 3,500 BC. This potentially suggests that the cromlech near the Dnieper is older than Stonehenge."

The Challenge of Ukrainian Burial Mounds and Accurate Historical Reconstruction

Ukraine is coming to terms with its illustrated past, even while the Russian threat is constantly on the horizon. In this midst, a development of fascinating scientific techniques is turning up a lot of answers about ancient Ukrainian history, including DNA taken from the people within the mounds. It is imperative to preserve this history by studying it first, instead of destroying it for housing.

• Grave of Female Scythian Warrior Found in Ukraine
• The Ancient Earthworks of Ukraine May Be the Biggest Solar Observatory in the World

As it is, these mounds have been repeatedly robbed and stripped bare of their valuables, making the reconstruction of the past even more difficult. These mounds have also been reused, with new bodies being dumped in older structures to cut labor costs and effort, whilst enjoying the splendor of royal burials.

For example, one of the Dnipro mounds “dates to a pre-historic  Indo-Iranian culture ”, but contains a coffin from around the 4th century BC. Another addition to this mound is a coffin emblazoned with a red star, probably a local Communist Party leader. A Scythian mound also witnessed a mass burial of deceased World War II soldiers, with the Soviet government building a monument on top.

"The mound's exploration has not yet been completed. The best is yet to come",  says Teslenko. "In about a week, we will completely clear the cromlech and the space inside it, allowing the ancient structure to be seen in virtually pristine condition. It's estimated that in just ten days we will reach the most ancient burials inside the stone ring, if the weather permits", Teslenko adds. "Certainly it is a foregone conclusion that the individual buried and protected by the cromlech was highly respected by this society. This is the only way to explain the monumental character of the construction."

Anomalous Metallic Object Discovered Inside a 4.5 Billion-Year-Old Meteorite

As meteorite dealers, my wife Linda and I have continued supplying meteorites and importing new stock throughout lockdown. On Friday, April 17th 2020, I received a parcel of meteorites I had ordered from a dependable regular source. These were twenty examples of a very well-known and popular common chondrite known as NWA 869. One of them was different and appeared to contain a metallic object inside.

For over twenty years we have been the owners of the UK’s only full-time meteorite dealership, Spacerocks UK. We both have university qualifications in astronomy and have lectured widely at many of the country’s most auspicious institutions. At any one moment we have several thousand meteorites of all types in our inventory. We are therefore completely familiar with their appearance.

The Very Ancient Origins of Meteorites

At this point, it’s worth giving a brief explanation about what meteorites are and where they come from. The solar system (the Sun, planets, asteroids and comets) condensed from a cloud of dust and gas known as the solar nebula around five billion years ago. The first solid objects were millimetric spheres called chondrules. These joined together over a few million years to form increasingly large chunks. Eventually, by collision, these accreted to form planetissimals and finally, around 4.5 billion years ago, the eight large planets and other, smaller bodies that make up the solar system.

Meteors, or shooting stars, are caused when fragments heat up as they enter the Earth’s atmosphere. If they survive to reach the Earth’s surface, they are known as meteorites.

( lassedesignen / Adobe Stock)

The vast gaps between the orbits of the eight major planets are full of debris left over from these early days. Additionally, a region between Mars and Jupiter holds many thousands of smaller planetary objects known as asteroids. These occasionally collide (more so in the past), launching further rocky and metallic debris into the solar system .

If one of these fragments collides with the Earth on its passage around the Sun, it will heat up to over 6,000 degrees Celsius because of friction with the atmosphere. This is the cause of the familiar shooting stars, or meteors, we may see at night. If a chunk is large enough, it may survive and reach the surface of the Earth. This residual object is known as a meteorite.

Explaining the Types of Meteorite

There are, broadly speaking, three types of meteorite:

1) Chondrites: fragments of the original ancient stones that remain from the beginnings of the solar system. These often contain chondrules, the small spheres mentioned earlier. Chondrites are all around 4.5 billion years old.

2) Achondrites: stony material blasted off the surface of a planet, asteroid or satellite by the impact of another object. Achondrite meteorites have been proven to have originated on many bodies, including Mars, the Moon and asteroids such as Vesta.

• Space Rock Mystery: Where Did the Fukang Meteorite Come From?
• Oldest Material On Earth Discovered To Be Older Than The Sun

3) Irons and stony irons are fragments of the cores of fully-formed small planets that were disrupted during collisions billions of years ago. As the first planets grew in size, heavy elements such as nickel and iron sank to their centers to form metallic cores, like that of the Earth.

Generally speaking, meteorites are named after the place where they fell or were found. That’s why the iron meteorite that made the Arizona Meteor Crater is called Canyon Diablo and that which exploded over Russia in 1947 is known as Sikhote-Alin.

A 1.7kg individual meteorite from the Sikhote Alin meteorite shower (coasrsest octahedrite, class IIAB). This specimen is about 12cm wide. Sikhote Alin meteorite shower fell on 1947 February 12 in the dense forest of eastern Siberia, and over 23 tons of meteoritic material has been recovered.

The NWA 869 Meteorite in Question

The meteorite we are discussing here, NWA 869, comes from a large strewn field which was the 869 ^th such to be discovered in North West Africa: hence its name. Why 869 is so prized by collectors is that most of meteorites from this field are small, complete examples, rather than fragments of larger bodies that exploded as they passed through the atmosphere (see photos).

The majority have an attractive blue-grey fusion crust (melted surfaced) and their shape reflects their attitude as they streaked downwards. This is known as ‘orientation’: a bit like the way spacecraft enter the atmosphere heat-shield first. OK, that’s the technical stuff out of the way!

This NWA 869 meteorite was like nothing the writer had seen before.

(Author supplied)

When I was processing the parcel of newly-arrived 869s, I suddenly noticed a metallic glint from one of them. This isn’t unusual: all chondrites contain nickel-iron and some (see photo) display quite obvious metallic flecks. This was different. In this case, the shiny region could be seen to be a small cylindrical feature around 6 mm (0.2 in) in diameter.

This metallic area was protruding at an angle from a region of glassy fusion crust, which, in places, could be seen to flow away from the object. Another interesting feature is that the cylinder had a small impact crater on its surface, something not uncommonly seen on iron meteorites or, indeed, spacecraft on their return from orbit.

The meteorite and its strange inclusion have been examined both microscopically and spectroscopically by a contact at the University of East Anglia. The preliminary results indicate that the silver cylinder is not composed of any of the usual accessory minerals found in meteorites. Further examination is scheduled.

Over the decades, numerous people in the UFO field have become the subjects of government files. And no, that’s not a case of being paranoid. Dozens upon dozens of well-known people in the UFO scene really have had their lives scrutinized, and all in the name of little green men. Well, not quite. Yes, the files do exist. But, the reasons for why such dossiers have been put together might surprise you. Indeed, most of the people in the subject have been watched because of something far more inflammatory than aliens: politics. Take the most controversial Contactee of all, George Adamski. He claimed to have had meetings out in the wilds of California with peace-loving ETs. He even claimed flights in Flying Saucers. Yeah, right. And, his FBI file runs to hundreds of pages. And I’m not kidding. The FBI, however, wasn’t particularly bothered about Adamski’s claims of extraterrestrial contact. What the Bureau was concerned about , however, was his politics. In the early 1950s, in his usually packed lectures, Adamski said that communism was the way of the future and that Russia could destroy the West, if it chose to. The fact that all of this was influencing the minds of hundreds upon hundreds of gullible people was of deep concern to the FBI. Hence, the reason why the “Adamski file” was opened.

Likewise, fellow Contactee George Van Tassel had a lengthy file opened on him. It ran to 319 pages. Again, the Bureau cared not a bit about Van Tassel’s alleged alien contacts. They were very interested, though, in Van Tassel’s words on American politics, religion, the U.S. government, the economy and more. For years, literally thousands upon thousands of people headed out to Giant Rock, California to hear Van Tassel talk. And the FBI listened carefully. Now, onto George Hunt Williamson. Certainly, he was a well-known figure in the world of the Contactees and the Space Brothers. And, an FBI file was opened on the man. The reason? Nothing to do with aliens. The primary reason why Williamson had a file on him was because he was suspected of smuggling ancient artifacts over the Mexico border and into the United States. Something like that is all but guaranteed to ensure a file will be opened on you. For a while the FBI deeply pondered on whether or not they should get further involved in the pursuit of a potential crime that had occurred outside of its jurisdiction and in another country – Mexico – but finally dropped the matter; rather fortunately, it must be said, for Williamson.

Now, let’s jump forward almost half a century after the antics of the “Three Georges.” Certain people in Ufology laughed and were highly skeptical when, in 2006, I wrote a book called On the Trail of the Saucer Spies, in which I mentioned how a retired British police source told me that, back in the 1990s, the British Police Force’s Special Branch opened files on two UFO researchers in the UK, namely Matthew Williams and Robin Cole. Those same certain people should have kept their mouths firmly shut. The files on Cole and Williams (or, rather, some of the files; others still remain classified to this day) were finally officially released in 2012, showing that Special Branch was indeed watching both men, demonstrating that the data provided to me years ago was accurate. When, in 2012, the documents were declassified, the National Archives prepared the following statement concerning their contents:

“File DEFE 24/1984/1 (p294) contains a 1996 Parliamentary Question from Martin Redmond MP asking on how many occasions MI6 and GCHQ have monitored UFO investigations. This was interpreted to mean ‘have the agencies been keeping watch on UFOlogists.’ A background briefing says ‘neither agency in fact undertakes such activity, though GCHQ cannot rule out the possibility’ they had monitored ‘in other contexts individuals who have made a study of UFOs’. The MP was told the government do not comment on the intelligence and security agencies (p298). File DEFE 24/1987/1 (p262-65) reveals that in 1997 Special Branch took an interest in a UFOlogist who became obsessed with rumours of a secret UFO facility beneath RAF Rudloe Manor in Wiltshire. The base had become known as the British equivalent of the secret US military airbase ‘Area 51’ among conspiracy theorists. An internal note said ‘Special Branch…do not believe he poses a specific threat to security, but they are alert to the risk that others may use him as a conduit for their activities.'”

Well, since the summary failed to note the names of the people in question, I will. They were, of course, Cole and Williams – as I had been told during the course of writing On the Trail of the Saucer Spies. Back in 1997, Robin Cole, of Cheltenham, England – the home to GCHQ (the Government Communications Headquarters) – wrote a fascinating report on the agency’s involvement in the UFO phenomenon. And, for those who may not be aware, GCHQ is the UK equivalent of the US National Security Agency. After Cole’s report was published, he was visited by two representatives of the UK’s Special Branch. And since the pair announced their visit in advance (via a phone-call), Robin had the good sense to clandestinely and quickly set up his tape-recorder in his living-room and taped the entire conversation, much of which revolved around Special Branch’s interest in a UFO researcher and Crop Circle maker named Matthew Williams – who just happens to be the “UFOlogist who became obsessed” with RAF Rudloe Manor, as referenced by National Archives staff above. Special Branch’s concerns that both the UFO controversy and the people that investigate it could be used as tools of manipulation by hostile groups with controversial, political agendas.

Since the 1950s, files have been opened on Ufologists. On every occasion, though, UFOs were shown not to have been the primary cause for concern on the part of government agencies. But, politics, in particular, was. In all likelihood, it still is.

Back in 2006, two locals were assembling their cattle on their property close to Eromanga in the south-western part of Queensland when they found very significant dinosaur bones. And now, 15 years after Robyn and Stuart Mackenzie made the discovery, the Eromanga Natural History Museum has officially announced that the skeleton belonged to the largest dinosaur that ever roamed Australia and is one of the biggest in the entire world.

The dinosaur, which has been named, “Australotitan cooperensis”, is nicknamed “Cooper” because it was found close to the Cooper Creek. This new gigantic sauropod species is said to be one of the top 15 biggest dinosaurs in the world. This long-necked dinosaur lived between 92 and 96 million years ago during the Cretaceous Period.

It measured between 5 and 6.5 meters in height (16.4 to 21.3 feet) and between 25 and 30 meters long (82 to 98.4 feet). Additionally, the researchers estimated that it would have weighed between 50 and 70 tonnes. Now that’s massive!

Mrs. Mackenzie, who is a palaeontologist that runs the Eromanga Museum, stated that when she found the first bones belonging to the dinosaur, she had no idea how significant they were, “It wouldn’t have entered our mind that we were about to deal with an animal that was the largest in Australia and one of the largest in the world.”

Dr. Scott Hocknull, who is a vertebrate palaeontologist at the Queensland Museum, described the exceptionally long work they did to finally be able to properly identify this large dinosaur, “It’s taken this long because it’s such a painstaking piece of work, you’ve got to take the bones out of the ground, you’ve got to prepare the fossils, and then you’ve got to study them and compare them against all other species of dinosaurs worldwide,” adding, “This is huge, this is a fantastic beast. Imagine something the size of a basketball court walking around on land.”

Mrs. Mackenzie is optimistic that more significant discoveries like “Cooper” are just waiting to be made. “There’s dozens of sites, there’s dozens of dinosaurs potentially out there that will need preparation and then research after they’ve been dug up,” she noted.

Dr. Hocknull went a step further by saying that there are potentially even larger dinosaurs waiting to be unearthed, “One of the questions that I’m always asking is what ate the plant eaters?” “We know that Australotitan — or Cooper — was a plant eater, so what was marauding around trying to eat these guys? We don’t have any evidence of that just yet.” “That’s exciting because it means that there must be another big story out there.” The study was published in PeerJ where it can be read in full.

Pictures of the bones and images of what “Cooper” would have looked like can be seen here.

UFO Sightings in the United States

Sightings are from MUFON CMS

Arizona Light 

Kingman – on April 22, 2021, a shiny disk object was seen traveling north 4.5 miles south of Route 40 on Route 93 near Hackberry Road. Object was moving approx 200 mph.

California Light

 Spring Valley on August 19, 2020, at 4:13 am, I went to parking lot at work and noticed an unusual mist cloud vapor appear. I quickly grabbed my iPhone and took a picture of it 800 feet away. Suddenly a glowing disc came out of the glittery mist. There was a glow on top and underneath the 8 feet in diameter solid object. It hovered then decanted 700 feet and flew into the cloud mist.

Connecticut Lights

Fairfield – on April 20 , 2021, a man was outside on his deck and zoomed in with his cell phone video camera and spotted  a boomerang shaped object for 75 seconds. Then went inside to play the video footage.. He said that he regularly sees UFO’s.

Note: The apparent object in the video appears to be more triangular shaped. The object appears to be stationary. The lights could be celestial objects. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/

Florida Object

Modena Beach on May 23, 2021, Object suddenly appeared flew by for a couple minutes and then disappeared.

Idaho Sphere at End of Runway

Coeur d’Alene — at KCOE airport on 6 June 2019, reported by commercial pilot at about 3:45pm, we loaded passengers onto our premier 1 jet on a scheduled 135 charter flight. We taxied out of Resort Aviation Jet Center turning onto the runway, I myself the copilot called out “Paul do you see that down the end of the runway?” He responded “yes”. We both look down the end of the runway and see a spherical looking craft just slightly smaller than a helicopter stationary floating 75 feet in the air.. After 10 seconds of observing I ask the captain “Should I continue the takeoff”? He replied “Yes let’s go”. Upon takeoff, we crossed end of runway I looked down and it was gone.

Illinois  Drawing

 White Hall – May 27, 2021 – Phone report): A man woke to go to the bathroom and looked out the window and noticed a bright orange object with 6 or 7 lights to the northeast. The man became quite frightened and said: “Don’t hurt me.” At that point the cigar shaped object rose but appeared saucer shaped when it rose.   Please call me I have pictures as proof. You can see my truck tracks were I drove into field to take the picture. What that thing did was lay wheat all over the same way without breaking a stem.

White Hall – May 27, 2021 – you can see the circle in the wheat. The wheat is all bent over where it took off and vanished. Also my dog was paralyzed, has dry cough and has no energy. The object was all lit up like a glowing light. I have attached a sketch. . I have been so freaked out and  my hair stood up.

 Note: This sighting occurred in a rural farmland area. Some of the best UFO sightings seem to occur in remote areas. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/

Indiana Disk

Mount Vernon – on April 8, 2017, I had noticed an unusually bright “star” like I had seen months before. I noticed it once again in a different spot in the sky. I grabbed my phone and began taking photos. Oddly enough, video wouldn’t work. This is the only photo that showed anything. The photo is lightened..

Maine Disc

 York – on July 10, 2020, I oberved object in the sky that did not move for several minutes. Took photo at traffic light and  object was not close.

 Massachusetts Light

Lynn – on May 29, 2021, it may have been a search light that was above the low lying clouds which were over Boston due to weather. it went in a loop. made no sound.  I saw a beam of light projecting up and the movements of the circling craft were quick and a little jumpy? I filmed it for maybe 20 seconds.

Nevada Object

Reno – on May 1, 2021, recently found out that aliens are telepathic so that prompted me to post this. Sighting happened at exact moment I was thinking about a recent news broadcast I saw in Mt . Shasta that said some people think aliens in spacecraft use Lenticular clouds as a portal of sorts. I looked out window and saw a large stationary object y in a Lenticular cloud. It darted in and out of cloud then disappeared into the cloud.

New Jersey Object

Basking ridge – on July 7, 2019, I thought I had lost the photo on my phone but I found the photo last night. It was so strange I thought you may be interested.

Ohio Lights

Mason – on November 12, 2020, on Interstate 71 in Ohio at the Mason Montgomery exit, 6:58 p.m., I saw a disk shape UFO.

Flying from New York to Cincinnati on KE 732 1 saw a UFO just before landing on February 26, 2020, 8:47 PM, the pilot said “four star arrival”

Oregon Lights

Glide – on May 23 2021, I felt such a strong attraction to going hiking that I left work early to get out before the sun set. On the way back from the hike I pulled my car over and aimed into the sun and took a few pictures. I was scrolling through the pictures  that looked a lot like lens flare. In a few frames the orb is obstructed by the trees. Three minutes later the orb shows up  in panoramic type pictures.

Texas Disk

 Fort Worth – on September 5, 2020, all I have is a very short video of it.

Washington Orbs

 Auburn, Mt. Rainier, — on May 26, 2021, I spotted three dark stationery objects in the foreground of a Mt. Rainier about 75 miles from my location. I was stopped at a traffic light and grabbed my phone to get a quick photo.

I travelled and then lost sight for a couple of minutes. They remained stationary the entire time I could see the mountain.. The objects were very obvious and extremely dark. I also took a close up of the object appearing directly in front of the mountain which I will share if you would like it.

Note: UFO’s have frequently been photographed over Mt. Rainier, Mt St Helens and Mt. Adams in Washington. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/

Worldwide UFO Sightings

Australia Lights

Invermay – on January 10, 2021, triangular shape with a light/dark blue pulsating outline over 300m in length.

Belize Light

 Placenia –– on May 3, 202 1was diving about 20 miles offshore and I didn’t see anything and noticed this when reviewing footage. It’s just odd. I have been diving like 10 years and have never seen anything like this. This video is on my YouTube page. My channel is 2divetheworld Robert Schultz. It’s the latest video upload.

Note: The object could be a sea creature, but I am not sure what it would be? Anyone who knows what type of sea creature this could be is welcome to comment. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/

Canada Lights

Quebec City – on August 20, 1998 before you read this message, you have to know that I’m deadly serious and very intelligent (IQ 140). Actually, in 1988, when I was a kid, the minister of education of Quebec gave me a gold medal in literature. Ok, here is, the most important e-mail of all time because I know how to change the world in an infinite stream of income and no need for taxes anymore  The reform (revolution) will allow humanity to access a new level of evolution. We will become a world ruled by love. In 1997, in Quebec city, I saw 3 red lights on a UFO hovering 25 feet above me, my mother and 7 other persons. Ayahuasca told me telepathically that this UFO was there for me.

France Objects

 Plaisance du Touch – on June 20, 1979 I observed a phenomenon from our garden as a dark bar object was coming towards us from the horizon. It arrived practically above us, at full speed. The most disturbing was to see two fighters arrive that were  chasing this object. It flew far in the horizon and  y disappeared in less than two seconds. I was 9 years old at the time and my father who was with me has died.

Germany Orb

 write you this today (May 31st, 2021), but I recorded it yesterday. I showed it to some friends and one of them told me it just looks like some plane or bird blurry in the camera. Today I recorded footage of exactly that with the same camera and the same place.

Bird:

Plane:

Flickering light:

The only thing I can come up with for an explanation is a super mighty drone of some sort, but as it seems to have been very high up (at least as high as the clouds but unlikely. To me this is technically a UFO. From the footage I can tell it was moving roughly to the east. I was wondering if anyone else has seen this in Hessen yesterday (May 30th 2021)?

Note: The witness produced some YouTube videos making the argument that the object was probably not a bird, plane or flickering light. I tend to agree him. The object was not close to the lens because it went behind the building. I don’t think that it was meteor because it had no tail. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/

Sweden Object

 Stockholm — on May 31, 2021, I always have an eye in the sky, this is one of the things I caught on cam, this is the whole footage, it flies in different degrees, 45, straight and 30 degrees.

UK/England Orbs

 Brighton – on May 30, 2021,  sent this email to my local news paper “The Argus” today and was wondering if anyone else has contacted you about the huge fleet of UFO’s hovering over the sea yesterday around 5 PM.
I was sat on the beach near Brighton Pier with my girlfriend when she noticed about 14 glowing white objects with auras surrounding them over the sea,.

She said she had been watching them as they moved a long distance away.
I first noticed 3 lights in a triangle then I saw the others moving away and were soon out of sight.

Upcoming June UAP Report will Confirm UFOs are Real but Intel Community disagrees over their Origins

UFOs are "real" and information is coming, says controversial Pentagon whistleblower Luis Elizondo.

Mystery Wire

On June 4, five intelligence sources familiar with the contents of the yet to be released June UAP report prepared for the US Senate Intelligence Committee revealed some of its key findings to major news sites including CNN and New York Times. 

The sources said that there was no consensus over the origins of the UFOs in terms of extraterrestrial, Chinese or Russian aerospace technologies, but that their threat to national security made them an important priority for the intelligence community. 

Dr. Michael Salla examines what the June UAP report will focus on based on intelligence source leaks, and how this represents a looming deception for which the general public needs to be fully prepared.

UFO over boat at North Carolina Beach, 5-Jun-2021

This strange unidentified flying sphere was flying across the daytime sky above North Carolina on 5th June 2021.

Witness report: 

While working on our catamaran, near the East coast of the US on May 16, 2021, we noticed a strange illuminated ‘spherical’ object hovering over us. I recorded the object with my Galaxy S21 phone taking video and pictures. The footage does not show the detail as well as in person, but you may be able to see there is a dark circle or spot in the center of the object. It seemed to rise above and drop below the clouds in relatively the same spot for hours. We have never seen a UFO before, so I checked online and found similar UFO videos like “Radar confirms UFO swarm around Navy warship ” and ” New Video Raises More UFO Questions Ahead of Pentagon Report Release ” mentioning an increase in ” Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon” sightings and encounters and believe the Navy footage is very similar to the object we witnessed and recorded.

CHINA CONFIRMS IT HAS ITS OWN UFO TASK FORCE

Chinese Military Said to Be Using AI to Track an Increase in “Unidentified Air Conditions.”

TIM MCMILLAN AND MJ BANIAS· - BREAKING NEWSUAP

“The frequent occurrence of unidentified air conditions in recent years … brings severe challenges to air defence security of our country,” said Chen Li of the PLA’s Air Force Early Warning Academy, in a 2019 report cited by SCMP. 

The U.S. Director of National Intelligence is set to release a report detailing military encounters with UAP in the coming weeks. According to the New York Times, the report is expected to say that “the vast majority of more than 120 incidents over the past two decades did not originate from any American military or other advanced U.S. government technology.” 

Citing unnamed intelligence officials, the Times also reports that some sightings could be attributed to advanced Chinese or Russian military platforms. However, the Pentagon appears to also be baffled by a number of not-easily explainable incidents. In some cases, objects are said to demonstrate extreme acceleration, changes in direction, and the ability to operate underwater, which do not comport with any known technologies.

Heading up the current efforts to examine these UAP  is the Pentagon’s “UAP Task Force,” which was officially announced in mid-August of 2020. 

Recent reports by Chinese press say the PLA equally has its own UFO task force dedicated to investigating mysterious airborne encounters over Chinese airspace.  According to SCMP, China’s “unidentified air conditions” task force has been turning to Artificial Intelligence to help get to the bottom of recent UFO sightings. 

“One advantage of AI is that it can ‘think outside the box’ – checking crumbs of information scattered across many datasets created at different times and locations, and drawing links unseen by human eyes – to help determine whether sightings were caused by a hostile country, amateur aviation enthusiasts, nature, or ‘other reasons,’” Li told SCMP. 

China has had its fair share of reported UFO sightings. According to Chinese state media, in 2010, Hangzhou’s Xiaoshan airport was shut down, and flights were diverted, due to an object hovering above the runway. Airport officials told reporters that the object was seen around 8:00 PM local time. 

“We’ve received orders to shut down the airport until the sky is cleared,” a representative for the airport said. The object eventually disappeared and the airport resumed operations around 10:00 PM. Locals reported seeing a round glowing object that resembled a comet. Further information regarding this case is unavailable.

SCMP reports the PLA’s UFO task force has a multi-tier reporting system to handle unknown aerial sightings.  

The first tier reportedly consists of military radar stations, air force pilots, police stations, weather stations, and Chinese Academy of Sciences observatories, gathering as much data as possible on UFO or UAP events. This raw data is said to then be processed by the PLA’s regional military commands to conduct a preliminary analysis, before transferring data on to a national database. 

From there, PLA headquarters assigns a “threat index” to sightings based on the observed behaviours, frequencies, aerodynamic design, radioactivity, possible make and materials, along with any pertinent information.

China’s “threat indexing” is said to be aided by AI programs to help examine patterns that may not be easily identifiable to researchers and determine an object’s purpose. 

Chinese researchers say that some unusual and unexplained sightings near the South China Sea and “other sensitive waters near China” could be the results of increased U.S. military activities. 

While China may be interested in the UFO phenomenon, neighboring Japan has also become more involved in tracking unknown aerial objects in the Pacific. Last September, Japanese Defense Minister Taro Kono instructed Japanese military personnel on what to do if they spot UFOs that could potentially pose a threat to national security. 

Meeting with then U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper in Guam, the two leaders agreed that Japan would be a strong ally in monitoring the South Pacific for incursions by unknown aerial objects. Earlier that year, in April, Japan began changing its guidelines surrounding how its military personnel would report sightings of unidentified objects. 

Kono personally admitted that he did not believe that these objects were of otherworldly origin, and it has led to speculation that China itself may be a perpetrator of several of these UAP-related incidents. 

With many officials and members of the public in the United States and Japan believing that advanced Chinese drones are swarming around American military targets, it is humorous that China points the finger at U.S. technology as being the cause of their own UFO sighting events. No one seems to be saying that it’s aliens.

There is perhaps no name more associated with UFO disclosure in 2021 than Luis Elizondo, the former head of the Pentagon’s secret Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) and current whistleblower who is anxiously awaiting the National Intelligence report on what the government knows about “unidentified aerial phenomena.” Unfortunately, Elizondo already knows enough to be concerned that the report will be watered down and not contain the “truth.” If that’s the case, he has recently announced he wants to become the second-most-well-known UFO politician besides former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (sorry Marco Rubio) and run for office himself to do what Reid and others couldn’t – release the full and unredacted X-Files.

Luis Elizondo is a UFO whistleblower who claimed to have headed up a secret UFO study inside the Pentagon.

“If the Pentagon’s Public Affairs officers, and those who give them orders, continue to obfuscate and mislead the American people about the reality of UAP [Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, a k a UFOs] and what our government knows about them, I may have no choice but to put my boots back on and run for Congress. If that’s what it takes to get the truth out, that’s what I’ll do.”

Luis Elizondo

It wouldn’t be unusual for Luis Elizondo to put his boots on since he’s rarely seen without them, but the announcement that he would run for Congress, which he made in an interview with The Black Vault, is a first. Elizondo is upset that the emails and attachments – schedules, calendars, transcripts, etc. – from his time at the Pentagon were confirmed to have been destroyed. That revelation may have turned Elizondo into an angry political Incredible Hulk, as he warns in the interview.

“If I get a seat [in Congress], I will make sure [there is] total transparency on everything, not just UAPs, but all the other crap that I know that goes on behind these closed doors. I can assure you that there are elements in the Pentagon right now that do not want a cat like me sitting in Congress.”

If the report is as weak as he expects it to be, Elizondo describes it as an “intelligence failure” as major as 9/11. He bases this assessment partly on the fact that the 9/11 Commission Report took three years, while the UFO report was completed in 180 days. That means it won’t contain what Elizondo has been saying to anyone who will listen — that “someone, from somewhere, [is] displaying beyond next-generation technology … in our controlled airspace.” In was sounds like a campaign speech, he tells The Black Vault that if he were elected, he would force Congress and the Pentagon to disclose:

“Everything that can be safely disclosed without harming our national security. Our tax dollars have paid for answers. It’s about time the American people start to get them.”

Spoken like a true politician. Is Harry Reid his campaign manager?

Harry Reid

Would you vote for Luis Elizondo? Does he have a chance of winning? Is the presence of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in our airspace really the biggest intelligence failure since 9/11? Is a promise of disclosure – both of UAPs and other secrets — enough to get him elected?

Will the aliens allow it?

Stranger things have happened.

When it comes to the present fascination for UFOs – whether on the part of the public or the media – there are two words that surface on most occasions. Those words are “the government.” That the government doesn’t think the UFOs seen on CNN, 60 Minutes and countless other media outlets are extraterrestrial. But, the government can’t be sure. That the government is concerned about Russian and Chinese technology. That the government is no more in the picture than we are. And so on and so on. Here’s the important part of all this, though: just because we have various spokespeople in government keeping us up to date on what’s going on right now, doesn’t mean the government knows everything. That may sound odd, but it’s true. For example, as UFO sightings reached epidemic proportions across the USA in the summer of 1947, the military swung into action, and various studies and operations were formulated that ultimately unified into an official, investigative operation known as Project Sign. That project would, in 1948, make way for Project Grudge; and, finally, Project Blue Book, which continued until 1969. Collectively, the three projects concluded that no UFO sighting investigated officially had ever had a bearing on national security, and there was no evidence to indicate that any UFO sightings represented alien visitations.

It’s a little known fact that when the Air Force began its UFO investigations in the late 1940s, it quietly farmed out some of the work to companies that had preexisting, working relationships with the military. As the now-declassified files of Project Grudge show, one program in particular was quietly handed over to the Weather Bureau. The Air Force wanted the bureau’s staff to find out all that it could on a mysterious, rare, weather-based phenomenon. It is known as ball lightning. As for what, exactly, ball lightning is, there’s this from the EarthSky website: “The orbs are typically about the size of a grapefruit, moving slowly over the ground. They have been seen during electrical storms, hence the early theories that they were simply a different form of lightning. They usually disappear after 10 seconds, quietly, but sometimes a bang sound can be heard. They have even been observed to pass through closed windows!” Most people in the program knew nothing of the ball lighting off-shoot. And they were government. That’s an important issue.

If you bring up the matter of ball lightning with most UFO researchers, they will likely roll their eyes and dismiss the whole thing with a swift wave of a hand or two. The possibility that some UFO sightings might actually be the result of encounters with nothing weirder than ball lightning causes Flying Saucer seekers to fume, rage and stomp around. And blood-pressure quickly reaches dangerous levels. Believe me, I’ve seen it all. And it’s not a pretty sight. I remember seeing Stan Friedman once getting all bent out of shape when the words “ball” and “lightning” popped up together. Even in the UFO field, it’s not well known that the U.S. military tried to weaponize ball lightning. The story can be found in the pages of Survey of Kugelblitz Theories for Electromagnetic Incendiaries. It was the brainchild of W.B. Lyttle and C.E. Wilson. At the time, they were in the employ of Melpar, Inc., which is described as “an American government contractor in the 20^th century Cold War period. At a time when most employment in Washington, D.C. was directly by the U.S. federal government, Melpar became an early private sector contracting company training a high technology workforce in the area.”

Lyttle and Wilson were assigned to the Edgewood Arsenal, and to what was intriguingly titled as a “New Concepts Division / Special Projects” operation. At the beginning of their 92-pages-long report, the two wrote: “The purpose of this study was to review the theory and experimental data on ball lightning, to compare the existing theory and experimental data to determine whether ball lightning is a high or low energy phenomenon, and if it is a high energy phenomenon define an effective theoretical and experimental program to develop a potential incendiary weapon.” It’s a fact that the work done by Lyttle and Wilson – which had an undeniable UFO tinge attached to it – could have provoked sightings of what witnesses might have assumed were UFOs. Notably, in the 1960s, the work of Lyttle and Wilson was carefully kept away from the Project Blue Book program, even though both Blue Book and the Lyttle and Wilson team were government.

Also on the matter of the government and UFOs – and what it knows and what it doesn’t know – there’s the matter of the Collins Elite. That’s the nickname of an organization (with a real, still-classified title that remains hidden) funded by certain elements of the U.S. government to investigate the UFO phenomenon from a demonic and satanic perspective. What the Hell?! I first got onto the story back in 2007 and exposed it in 2010, in my Final Events book. For years, people scoffed at the idea there could be a group, deep within government, studying the possibility that the alien Greys of Ufology are the minions of Satan. Personally, I don’t think the UFO phenomenon is demonic, but I decided to write the book when I realized that such a group really did exist. In other words, the story was a fascinating one to share with people interested in UFOs. But, here’s the most relevant part of the whole thing: almost everyone within the government knew next to nothing about the Collins Elite. Most of them still don’t know of it. Or, more accurately, they have been denied access to it. Just a few years ago Senator Harry Reid revealed (to a small degree) the existence of the group and confirmed that its work revolved around the “aliens are really demons” angle. The group still remains to be fully exposed. And, even if you work for the U.S. government, you probably haven’t got clearance to know the lowdown of the Collins Elite.

As the material above shows, “the government” doesn’t know everything. Agency 1 doesn’t always share its data with Agency 2. And, that may be the case right now: while most people in government are baffled by the same footage that we’ve all been seeing recently, there could very well be other agencies (or, far more likely, small, well-hidden think-tanks like the Collins Elite) that know exactly what is going on.

Extraterrestrial First Contact: Support Science

http://www.firstcontact29.blogspot.com/

The US government has provided insiders an advance look at their “bombshell” report on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP).

Here is my summation of their findings:

There’s stuff happening in the skies around military operations and it’s not us, but it could be the Chinese or Russians. We don’t think it’s aliens, but honestly we have no evidence one way or another. We just have a bunch of unexplained sightings, some by very experienced military pilots, and confirmation with high tech military instrumentation. We have no idea what it means.

Thanks. Very helpful. We do appreciate that fact that you are owning up to your ignorance. That’s a level of honesty we don’t usually get from the military.

So, where do we go from here? Clearly, the Pentagon will need billions of dollars to study this issue. General Dynamics salespeople are probably reading every UFO book they can get their hands on, to prepare the project bids. That work will also be farmed out to the other usual suspects- Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon. The entire investigation will be kept top secret. It will take years of work by thousands of consultants and we will end up having to beg for public updates.

Meanwhile, even outside of the military industrial complex folks are battling for position. Understandably, the scientists who have devoted their careers to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) are not thrilled by the attention UAP have been receiving. SETI scientists have good reason to be concerned. If we become obsessed with UAP investigations, perhaps we won’t care anymore about SETI research? I agree that would be stupid. SETI research is important and it should continue to grow. But to ignore the UAP situation seems like a bad idea. The folks who say they believe UAP are natural or man-made don’t provide any evidence. And quite frankly, that’s just as dumb as the folks who claim UAP must be alien visitation, without any evidence.

I’ll be honest- I didn’t give a crap about UAP or UFOs until the New York Times articles on the subject came out in 2017. Luis Elizondo and his TV show, Unidentified, also grabbed my attention. Those reports contained the first evidence of UFO activity that seemed credible. Now I’m caught up in it like everyone else.

I have a simple suggestion for how to proceed: support science. We’ve been developing our scientific chops for hundreds of years now. Let’s keep on. We need a scientific study of UAP carried out by civilian scientists. Hell, NASA is even considering the subject. Bill Nelson recently spoke out about the subject and NASA has generously suggested that scientists working on NASA projects could consider UAP research. Not a very bold statement, but a nice first step. You have to remember- NASA is scared to death that politicians will turn their research into political fodder. Given their past experiences and our current political nightmare, that’s a realistic concern.

But we can’t turn our attention away from the amazing scientific work that is being conducted currently. Astrophysicists and astronomers are discovering new things about our universe in almost daily revelations. The discovery and confirmation of hundreds of exoplanets and an actual image of a black hole are just two of the revelations. We live in extraordinary times and that is due to the work of thousands and thousands of scientists, each working together, and arguing with each other, in pursuit of knowledge. Particle physics research continues to find new ways to baffle us. They are trying to answer mysteries such as the nature of dark matter and the inner workings of quantum mechanics.

We need to support those scientists. We need to give them adequate funding and we need to better educate ourselves so we can share in their excitement when the next finding comes out. We also need to be educated enough to understand that findings may contradict each other. Some research may have weaknesses, leading to a debate. That debate is not a failure of science- it is science in action.

We need to better support SETI research. It is a partner in our human space exploration. You may say- why study far off star systems when the aliens may be here on Earth? For the sake of argument, let’s say alien technology is here on Earth – doesn’t that mean we need to know even more about where it came from and how aliens are communicating? Even if the aliens sit down and hold a news conference at the United Nations, we are going to want to have a better look at the universe around us and collect our own data.  

I know we have many serious challenges here on Earth. Climate change, nuclear proliferation, cybercrime, and biological hazards threaten to undo our human civilization. We need to pour resources into those issues – serious monetary, scientific, and industrial resources. But we also need to continue the exploration of the universe. We need to know how the material world is organized and what it encompasses.

So, where do we go from here? Support science. Support open inquiry. Continue to debunk conspiracy theories and falsehoods. Have an honest and open conversation about what we find. Don’t allow politicians and other leaders to turn these inquiries into political weapons. They will do that anyway, but we can call them out when they do, and punish them for such cheap maneuvers.

Support science. Support the incredible NASA missions underway as we speak. Humans have multiple vehicles driving around Mars, conducting research, as we speak. That’s pretty damn cool. And just wait until the James Webb space telescope is operational. These are just a few of things it will be investigating. Support scientists and keep an open mind. There is so much we don’t know. Let’s just add UAP to the list and keep on with the good work.

Jeff Bezos gaat in juli zelf mee de ruimte in op eerste passagiersruimtevlucht van zijn bedrijf Blue Origin

Jeff Bezos, de rijkste mens op aarde, gaat volgende maand de ruimte in. De oprichter van Amazon heeft ook een eigen commercieel ruimtevaartbedrijf, Blue Origin, dat op 20 juli voor het eerst toeristen naar de ruimte wil brengen. En Bezos heeft maandag bekendgemaakt dat hij en zijn broer Mark dan meegaan aan boord.

 Bron: ANP

Het ruimtevaartuig waarmee de toeristen naar de ruimte zullen worden gebracht, heet New Shepard. De draagraket zal verticaal opstijgen en op 75 km hoogte de bijhorende capsule uitzetten. Die klimt vervolgens naar een hoogte van ruim 100 kilometer. Daar zijn de passagiers enkele minuten gewichtloos en zien ze de kromming van de aarde. Daarna zakt het vaartuig terug de dampkring in om weer op aarde te landen. De capsule gaat niet hoog en niet snel genoeg om in een baan rond de aarde te komen.

  Jeff Bezos tekent met zijn ruimtevaartbedrijf Blue Origin protest aan tegen keuze NASA voor SpaceX

Droom

Blue Origin had de plannen voor de eerste vlucht in mei naar buiten gebracht. Het was toen echter nog niet geweten dat Jeff Bezos zélf ook mee zou gaan. Hij maakte het nieuws vandaag bekend op Instagram. “Al sinds ik vijf jaar oud was, droom ik ervan om naar de ruimte te reizen”, schrijft Bezos bij een video waarin hij en zijn broer aan het woord komen. “Op 20 juli ga ik die reis maken met mijn broer. Het grootste avontuur, met mijn beste vriend.”

Plekje geveild

Een van de plekken aan boord wordt overigens geveild. Tot nu toe hebben bijna 6.000 mensen uit 143 landen een bod uitgebracht. Volgens Blue Origin staat het hoogste bod inmiddels op ongeveer 2,8 miljoen dollar, omgerekend 2,3 miljoen euro. De veiling loopt nog tot 12 juni.

Concurrentie

Concurrent SpaceX van zakenman Elon Musk brengt op dit moment al professionele astronauten naar het ruimtestation ISS. Later dit jaar wil hij een paar burgers een kans geven om naar de ruimte te gaan. In 2023 wil Musk ook een schatrijke Japanse zakenman een rondje rond de maan laten vliegen. 

Bovendien moet SpaceX over nog een paar jaar astronauten op de maan zetten en ze veilig weer terug naar de aarde brengen. Musk kreeg die miljardenopdracht van ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA. Blue Origin, dat naast de order greep, vecht het besluit momenteel aan. 

Een ander bedrijf, Virgin Galactic van Richard Branson, werkt ook aan commerciële toeristische vluchten naar de ruimte.

UFO Sighted Over UK From Plane ( May 28, 2021 )

STATEMENT : Long rectangular UFO sighting I saw this when I was flying above the cloud on a plane.

What is it? Does anyone know?!? I filmed this in the 28th May 2021, and it’s capture in the UK. And it is above land and not water, 15-20 minutes into the flight “including take off” from Heathrow airport.

UFOs Sighted Over Bochnia, Poland ( May 16, 2021 )

STATEMENT : Unidentified objects in the shape of a sphere over Bochnia. They seemed to turn. No sound. I think they were huge. They appeared out of nowhere, they flew singly and in groups of several. Recently they released starlinks. I often see UFOs simultaneously after releasing starlinks. Weird. I haven't seen anything like this during the day. It was really amazing live. Like something from another world. And I was able to record.

ORIGINAL : Niezidentyfikowane obiekty w kształcie kuli nad Bochnia. Zdawały się obracać. Zero dźwięku. Wydaje mi się, że były ogromne. Pojawiały się znikąd, Leciały pojedynczo i w szykach po kilka. Ostatnio puścili starlinki. Czesto widuje ufo jednocześnie po puszczeniu starlinkow. Dziwne. W dzień jeszcze czegoś takiego nie widziałam. Na żywo było to niesamowite serio. Jak coś z innego świata. I udało mi się nagrać.

Illuminated Spherical UFO Spotted Over North Carolina's Coastline.. May 16, 2021

The witnesses states the following "While working on our catamaran, near the East coast of the US on May 16, 2021, we noticed a strange illuminated 'spherical' object hovering over us. I recorded the object with my Galaxy S21 phone taking video and pictures. The footage does not show the detail as well as in person, but you may be able to see there is a dark circle or spot in the center of the object. It seemed to rise above and drop below the clouds in relatively the same spot for hours. We have never seen a UFO before."

Thanks to Sailing_And_Fun for allowing me the use of their footage and to view the original https://youtu.be/d7D9kLgLedo

LATEST UFO SIGHTINGS AND VIDEOS - MUFON CASES - 07 -06-2021

MUFON CASE : 116081 San Antonio, Texas ( June 6, 2021 )

Mutual UFO Network : MUFON SUBMISSIONS : 30-40 orange orbs
Long Description of Sighting Report

I heard a buzzing sound coming from the front of the apartments. I went out front and noticed what I thought were Chinese lanterns 30-40. Held onto the video for quite sometime. Then started seeing other videos pop up very similar like mine. The orbs seem to fly in a pattern and some even combine then separate which I thought was pretty odd.

Sphere UFO Over Boat At North Carolina Beach, June 5, 2021, UFO Sighting News.

 

Date of sighting: June 5, 2021

Location of sighting: North Carolina Beach, USA

 

As a couple were recording a boating video for their Youtube channel, they noticed a glowing sphere passing above them. The glowing sphere is similar to the UFOs seen in both New York and in Colorado in the past. The object is easily seen against the bright blue sky and seems to move slowly in front of the clouds. Yes I said in front of...I watched the video in slow motion and came to the conclusion that the object is below the clouds, not behind them. This is 100% proof that aliens exist and sometimes...they are flying over us for hours without anyone even noticing them.
