By JOSH BOSWELL FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

A video exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com shows a pulsating orb caught on camera by FedEx pilots flying over Mexico – which experts say could be a UFO with a plasma forcefield that may help it fly or deflect radar.  

On March 19, 2020 two FedEx pilots were flying a cargo airplane near Monterrey, Mexico, when they saw a bright light drop down from the sky, stop at their altitude, shoot them with a beam of light, then move in tandem with the plane for over 30 minutes before flying away.

The captain shot a stunning video of the encounter, which was analyzed in a report by the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena (NARCAP), a nonprofit organization that studies pilots' brushes with UFOs to help develop safety procedures.

The report did not name the pilots, as many in the aviation industry are still wary of the stigma around UFOs despite official acknowledgement of the phenomena by the U.S. and other governments.

But NARCAP executive director Ted Roe, the author of the report, told DailyMail.com that the pilots' account was 'very consistent with what pilots have been reporting for over 100 years.'

Mysteriously, the UFO did not show up on the plane's radar. Experts say it could be a UFO with a plasma forcefield that may help it fly or deflect radar

The captain of the Boeing 767 cargo plane is 'a career pilot with 19 years of experience flying wide-body aircraft for a major cargo company with an additional 10yrs flying KC-135 refueling tankers for the US Air Force,' according to the report, while the first officer was a 'career fighter pilot that flew f-15s before working in the private sector.'

NARCAP executive director Ted Roe told DailyMail.com that the pilots' account was 'very consistent with what pilots have been reporting for over 100 years'

They were described as 'competent airmen, highly experienced with observing and identifying aircraft, and are capable of determining normal observations and incidents from unusual ones.'

The plane left Queretaro International Airport north of Mexico City at 8.05pm, and was about 150 miles south of Monterrey on its way to Memphis, Tennessee, when the unidentified object appeared.

'The incident began when the First Officer, looking across to the left side of the cockpit, saw a yellowish white light descend into view from above,' the report said.

'He first believed that it was a meteor and began to say so when it suddenly stopped near the same altitude as their aircraft. The UAP [unidentified aerial phenomenon]/Light then projected an illuminating beam of bright, white, light on their aircraft, and appeared to take a collision heading.

'At this moment the Captain also saw the beam of light projected onto their aircraft from the UAP/Light. Both crewmen, in the belief that an aircraft with its landing lights on had turned onto a collision heading with their aircraft, took a defensive attitude and prepared for evasive control inputs.'

But instead of heading to crash into them, the UFO then started to move in tandem with the plane between 1,000 and 2,000 ft away.

'As they prepared to avoid the apparently approaching UAP/Light, the beam of light illuminating their aircraft ceased, and the UAP/Light suddenly accelerated to the same speed and heading of the aircraft, maintained separation, and paced the aircraft,' the report said. 

In the video the captain can be heard expressing his shock and excitement at seeing a UFO, which he described as 'a brilliant yellow white plasma object, teardrop shaped.'

The report said it had 'no navigation lights or other features associated with airplanes'.

The captain took a five-minute video of the object, three other clips and eight photographs.

Mysteriously, the UFO did not show up on the plane's radar.

'I thought it was a shooting star but then it stopped,' the former Air Force pilot said in the video.

'It's like an orb man, look at that s**t. It's pulsating. This is awesome. And he's not on TCAS [the plane's radar].

'That is s**t hot… Oh man, look at that thing dude.

'That is an unidentified flying object bro, I can finally say I saw one. That is cool.'

'You saw it just drop out of the sky and just stop?' he asked his copilot.

'Yeah. I thought it was a shooting star and then it stopped,' the former F-15 pilot replied.

The plane left Queretaro International Airport  north of Mexico City at 8.05pm, and was about 150 miles south of Monterrey on its way to Memphis, Tennessee, when the unidentified object appeared

The captain was flying a similar Boeing 767 cargo plane. He was described as a 'a career pilot with 19 years of experience flying wide-body aircraft for a major cargo company'

Discussing whether it could be a weather balloon, the captain said: 'The only weather balloon we have is near [inaudible], it's 15,000 ft AGL [above ground level]. This thing's above our altitude.'

The 767 was flying at approximately 575 mph at 37,000 ft when the encounter happened.

'As the aircraft and its attendant UAP/Light approached the Mexico/US border the UAP/Light began to flicker, it changed colors from yellow-white to pinkish/purple, and turned on a perpendicular heading away from the aircraft and parallel to the border without crossing into the United States,' the report said.

'We're going to lose him in the clouds, son of a b***h,' the captain said towards the end of the video.

'There's weather about 40 miles off our left wingtip where this thing seems to have disappeared. It didn't have strobes or beacon or nothing.'

The captain filmed his radar screen showing no sign of the UFO, just patches of clouds to the west of the 767.

Aviation experts on the website Metabunk, including renowned UFO debunker Mick West, tried to explain the light as the planet Venus, and the pulsating as a deceptive effect from the camera autofocus adjusting its lens in the dark.

Although the flight was not identified in the NARCAP report, West identified it from flight records matched to the times in the report as FedEx flight FDX82, which departed Queretaro 50 minutes late at 8.55pm and arrived in Memphis around 12.20am.

West dug out star maps showing Venus was in a similar location in the sky to where the pilots saw the pulsating light, sitting about 10 degrees above the horizon at that time of night.

'Out of focus with atmospheric distortion and focus seeking, it looks like a wobbly pulsating blob,' he wrote.

West posted videos on the debunking forum showing how stars can appear to flash or ripple on camera from atmospheric distortions or heat shimmer, exaggerated by an autofocus lens coming in and out of focus.

However, the pilots told NARCAP they saw the pulsing, plasma-like appearance with their own eyes as well as capturing it on camera, and described seeing the pulsing light, as well as the inexplicable movement of the object – dropping from the sky, coming to a complete stop in mid-air and then matching their speed and direction.

NARCAP executive director Ted Roe says, 'We have a database going back to 1916. It describes four basic types of UAP encounters and they are balls of light, spheres, cylinders and discs,' he said.

'I went through the analysis. There was some argument that it could have been an astronomical effect. Venus was quite bright that night.

'But when you take the entire narrative of how they describe it dropped in vertically, stopped at their altitude and then paced their aircraft, that is a very consistent story. We've had many of those.

'They flew northbound out of Queretaro Airport. Venus was quite high in the western sky at that point and bright, they were well aware of it. They were at 37,000 ft.

'When he turns the camcorder towards his radar, which is probably the most important aspect of this case and really the only reason I took it on, it confirmed what I've been saying all along which is that UAP are intermittently detected on radar. He turned his camera on his radar monitor and there was no detection.

'It also showed there were clouds to the West, and if Venus was parallel to his aircraft, appearing to be at his altitude, the clouds would have obstructed it.'

Roe said both the 'teardrop' shape that the UFO made as it moved through the air and the lack of radar return could be due to plasma surrounding it.

'We didn't get a clearly defined video of what this phenomenon was. But we have the description. It was teardrop shaped, white/yellow. I'm guessing that these things are plasma or have plasma involved in them,' he said.

'We use plasma to cut the radar cross-section on the reflectable parts of a stealth aircraft. They might use plasma actuators to absorb that signal rather than allow it to reflect.'

The plane left Queretaro International Airport (pictured) north of Mexico City at 8.05pm on its way to Memphis, Tennessee 

In 2011, researchers at the University of Florida wrote a report on a 'proof-of-concept demonstration' of how plasma could be used to make a wingless object 'selflift, hover and fly'.

Their experiments, sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, involved 'building, characterization, testing, and simulation of plasma actuators, aerodynamics, power and propulsion systems, micromachining and microfabrication.'

NARCAP was founded in 1999 specifically to investigate and document the safety implications of pilots' encounters with reports of UFOs,

It has a staff of about 50 specialists that conduct 'investigations, analysis, publications and activism related to UAP and aviation safety.'

NARCAP's chief scientist, Dr. Richard Haines, has collected 'over 3,400 cases of aviation-related observations and incidents involving unidentified aerial phenomena' according to the organization.

Roe told DailyMail.com that one of his continued frustrations is that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) refuses to document incidents like those of the FedEx pilots.

'The FAA literally will not accept their reports,' he said. 'The aeronautical instruction manual, which is the primary manual for air crews, tells them if they want to report a UFO they can contact a civilian UFO reporting center.

'This has been going on for decades. The information is lost to the aviation system and safety planners because the data is never presented to the aviation system to begin with.

'Recently we've had this UAP Task Force and government activity on the subject. In the report, the Director of National Intelligence on June 25 stated that UAP are a hazard to aviation, and they were rather clear about it.

'When they were out looking for data, I can't imagine what it was like going into the FAA's offices, and saying 'you guys must have all this great UFO data, we need it now,' and there isn't any because they've been telling the pilots they don't take those reports.'

FedEx Pilots Film ‘Pulsating’ UFO Following Their Plane, Expert Calls It ‘A Threat To Safe Aviation’

BY DOUGLAS CHARLES

• Two FedEx pilots flying a cargo plane filmed a brush with what they called a pulsating orb that followed them for more than 30 minutes.

• The UFO incident occurred near Monterrey, Mexico and video of the encounter has been analyzed by the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena (NARCAP).

• More UFO news here.

Two FedEx pilots flying a cargo plane near Monterrey, Mexico had an encounter at 37,000 feet with a UFO that has experts perplexed.

The pilots claim that as they were flying near Monterrey, Mexico a bright light dropped down from the sky, stopped at their altitude, shot them with a beam of light, then moved in tandem with the plane for over 30 minutes before flying away, reports DailyMail.com.

The UFO incident, which occurred on March 19, 2020, was captured on video, along with audio revealing their dialogue during the sighting. 

While the two pilots remain unnamed, the captain of the Boeing 767 cargo plane is “a career pilot with 19 years of experience flying wide-body aircraft for a major cargo company with an additional 10yrs flying KC-135 refueling tankers for the US Air Force,” according to a National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena (NARCAP) report. The first officer is “a career fighter pilot that flew f-15s before working in the private sector.”

The initial reporting of this UFO sighting shed little light on the details surrounding it, but this week NARCAP executive director Ted Roe spoke with DailyMail.com and offered up some new insight.

‘The FAA literally will not accept their reports,’ he said. ‘The aeronautical instruction manual, which is the primary manual for air crews, tells them if they want to report a UFO they can contact a civilian UFO reporting center.

‘This has been going on for decades. The information is lost to the aviation system and safety planners because the data is never presented to the aviation system to begin with.

‘Recently we’ve had this UAP Task Force and government activity on the subject. In the report, the Director of National Intelligence on June 25 stated that UAP are a hazard to aviation, and they were rather clear about it.

‘When they were out looking for data, I can’t imagine what it was like going into the FAA’s offices, and saying ‘you guys must have all this great UFO data, we need it now,’ and there isn’t any because they’ve been telling the pilots they don’t take those reports.’

Footage of the UFO incident near Monterrey, Mexico taken by the FedEx pilots, described as “competent airmen, highly experienced with observing and identifying aircraft, and are capable of determining normal observations and incidents from unusual ones,” was analyzed by Roe’s group at the NARCAP.

In the video, one of the pilots can be heard talking about “a brilliant yellow white plasma object teardrop shaped” object in the sky.

They were so concerned about what they were seeing that the daptain engaged the Combined TCAS and cockpit display and activated the Airborne Collision Avoidance System SSR (Secondary Surveillance radar) system.

Radar did not detect anything in the sky.

According to the NARCAP report, “The UAP/Light came from above and stopped/hovered near FL37, about the same altitude as the aircraft, shone a light on the 767 and briefly approached the aircraft. Then it instantly matched the speed, and heading of the aircraft and maintained a consistent separation.”

a. The light descended vertically, stopped abruptly, and shone a light on the 767 causing the crew to believe that there was another airliner on a collision heading with its landing lights on.

b. It changed direction from vertical descent to a sudden stop/hover, to approaching the aircraft briefly, to taking the same heading and speed of the aircraft at about the same altitude and an estimated distance of 1-2k ft.

c. It matched the altitude, speed, and heading of the aircraft, 575mph and at 37,000ft for over 32 minutes.

d. The UAP/Light changed colors and turned away from the aircraft on a perpendicular heading, West, just inside the Mexico/US border.

e. The UAP/light did not have wings or running lights. It was a new and unique observation to the experienced air crew.

These movements, the report explains, “are not consistent with known aerial phenomena but they are characteristic movements of UAP.”

“We have a database going back to 1916. It describes four basic types of UAP encounters and they are balls of light, spheres, cylinders and discs,’ Roe told DailyMail.com.

“I went through the analysis. There was some argument that it could have been an astronomical effect. Venus was quite bright that night.

“But when you take the entire narrative of how they describe it dropped in vertically, stopped at their altitude and then paced their aircraft, that is a very consistent story. We’ve had many of those.”

Roe also added that the FedEx pilots’ account of their UFO experience is “very consistent with what pilots have been reporting for over 100 years.”

“The primary difference being that this case is on video. Now there are cameras in the cockpits and they are validating what pilots have been describing anecdotally for over 80 years and the work of NARCAP over the last 20 years,” reads the report.

NASA chief Bill Nelson latest official to suggest UFOs have otherworldly origins

BY MARIK VON RENNENKAMPFF, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR 

In a freewheeling Oct. 19 discussion on space policy, NASA administrator Bill Nelson spoke passionately about his agency’s mission to seek out life beyond Earth. In his comments, Nelson pivoted almost immediately to a series of U.S. military encounters with mysterious flying objects, many of which appeared to maneuver in extraordinary ways while in restricted airspace.

After speaking with several of the naval aviators who observed the unknown craft, NASA’s chief is convinced that the pilots “saw something, and their radars locked onto it.” Asked to speculate about the nature of the phenomena, Nelson – an Army veteran, former senator and ex-astronaut – responded, “Who am I to say that planet Earth is the only location of a life form that is civilized and organized like ours?”

As surprising as his answer may be, Nelson is only the latest high-level official to hint that UFOs may have otherworldly explanations.

Asked in June about the military’s recent encounters with mysterious craft, former President Bill Clinton – like Nelson – responded by pondering the vastness of the universe and the high probability of life existing beyond Earth. Similarly, former President Obama speculated about the extraordinary implications if recent incidents involved otherworldly objects. Of note, Clinton and Obama retain access to top-level intelligence briefings.

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Queried about the Navy’s encounters with UFOs, former CIA director John Brennan speculated that the objects might “constitute a different form of life.” Channeling Clinton, Obama and NASA’s Nelson, Brennan stated that “it’s a bit presumptuous and arrogant for us to believe that there’s no other form of life anywhere in the entire universe.”

In much the same vein, former CIA Director James Woolsey, a longtime UFO skeptic, recently signaled openness to the possibility that such encounters have otherworldly explanations.

John Ratcliffe, former President Trump’s director of national intelligence, is particularly vocal about UFOs.

In a series of interviews, Ratcliffe ruled out secret U.S. technology and cited “high confidence” intelligence assessments to eliminate foreign adversaries as possible explanations for the most compelling UFO encounters. According to the former head of U.S. intelligence, some UFOs exhibit “technologies that we don’t have and, frankly, that we are not capable of defending against.”

Like Ratcliffe, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) ruled out foreign powers or highly classified American technology, leaving few explanations for the phenomena.

Perhaps more importantly, Luis Elizondo, former director of a Pentagon unit that analyzed military encounters with UFOs, has suggested that the most compelling incidents have extraterrestrial explanations. Ditto for Christopher Mellon, the top civilian military intelligence official during the Clinton and second Bush administrations. At the same time, U.S. intelligence analysts are reportedly considering the possibility that recent encounters involved “non-human technology.”

As surprising as these developments may seem, a holistic view of the phenomenon suggests that history is repeating itself.

Reports of unidentified craft maneuvering in extraordinary ways surged in the 1940s, shortly after the first nuclear weapons were detonated. With stark parallels to recent developments, declassified documents show that from 1947 to 1952, U.S. intelligence analysts ruled out foreign adversaries – such as the Soviet Union – or highly classified American technology as plausible explanations for the most credible and compelling UFO encounters. Unsurprisingly, top military officials began “seriously considering the possibility of interplanetary ships.”

In early 1953, however, such objective, open-minded government analyses came to an abrupt halt.

Over several days the previous summer, pilots and radar operators in Washington, D.C., reported extraordinary (and still unexplained) encounters with unidentified objects. But the sheer volume of UFO reports – and the deluge of public queries that followed – spooked America’s defense planners.

Officials grew concerned that future mass UFO sightings would again overwhelm intelligence and communications channels. The Soviet Union, these officials worried, could exploit public interest in UFOs to sow “mass hysteria and panic,” handing Moscow a “surprise advantage in any nuclear attack.”

In response to these Cold War fears, the CIA convened a panel of scientists to assess the UFO phenomenon. Over the course of two days, the scientists, who – critically – were “not given access to the truly puzzling [UFO] cases,” recommended a sweeping government effort to “debunk” UFO sightings.

Fearing another flood of UFO reports, the CIA-convened panel reasoned that a “debunking” campaign would decrease “public interest in ‘flying saucers’” and reduce Americans’ “susceptibility to clever hostile propaganda.”

As investigative journalist Leslie Kean notes, the CIA’s remarkably brief, superficial meetings “would forever change both the course of media coverage and the official attitude toward the UFO subject.”

Indeed, the U.S. Air Force’s two decade-long project to investigate UFO reports morphed into a determined effort to discredit UFO sightings and witnesses, no matter how credible. According to James McDonald, one of the world’s leading atmospheric physicists, the Air Force began applying “meteorologically, chemically and optically absurd” explanations to the most compelling UFO sightings.

Vice Admiral Roscoe Hillenkoetter, the first director of the CIA, summarized the situation: “Through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe [UFOs] are nonsense. … Behind the scenes,” however, “high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned…”  

As the Air Force systematically discredited witnesses (many of whom had nothing to gain by coming forward), widespread public and congressional anger followed.

Unsurprisingly, the Air Force’s campaign to “debunk” UFO sightings at all costs fueled widespread perceptions of a government coverup, creating fertile ground for an array of exotic (and enduring) conspiracy theories. Moreover, by wrongfully tarring credible witnesses as kooks, the Air Force further fueled the powerful stigma that continues to stifle good-faith reporting of unidentified objects by reliable observers.

Perhaps worst of all, as astronomer and long-time consultant to the Air Force’s UFO project J. Allen Hynek bluntly stated: The 1953 CIA panel “made the subject of UFOs scientifically unrespectable.”

Ultimately, the two scientists who immersed themselves in the study of UFOs more than any of their contemporaries became fierce advocates of serious academic inquiry of the phenomenon.

Initially skeptics, renowned atmospheric physicist James McDonald and J. Allen Hynek – whose career inspired the film “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” – proceeded to make convincing arguments that the most compelling UFO incidents may have otherworldly explanations.

Sixty year later, as high-level officials speculate openly about such extraordinary possibilities, McDonald and Hynek’s meticulous, undeniably scientific work deserves close examination.

Has Egypt's second sphinx been found? Ancient statue with a 'lion's body and a human head' is unearthed by stunned construction workers

• The new statue was discovered between the temples of Karnak and Luxor

• The 'sphinx' was found on Al-Kabbash Road which connects the two temples

• Officials has confirmed the statue has a 'lion's body with a human head'

• Great Sphinx of Giza in Egypt was near the Great Pyramids on the west bank

• It is the oldest and largest known monumental sculpture in the world

By PHOEBE WESTON FOR MAILONLINE 

Egypt's long-rumoured second sphinx may have been unearthed by construction workers building a new road. 

According to local reports, a sphinx-like statue was found on Al-Kabbash Road, which connects the two temples of Karnak and Luxor built around 1400BC.

Officials have confirmed the statue has a 'lion's body with a human head'.

The 'second sphinx' has not yet been lifted from the ground, however, officials said tourists are welcome to visit the construction site to view the ancient statute.

No photographs of the structure have been published, the Director General of Antiquities has confirmed.

The Great Sphinx of Giza was discovered by the Great Pyramids on the west bank of the river Nile. It is the oldest and largest known monumental sculpture in the world.

Reports suggest a sphinx-like statue (stock image) has been discovered between the ancient temples of Karnak and Luxor which date to around 1400BC

Excavations first started on the Karnak and Luxor temple complexes, located within the ancient city of Thebes, back in 1884, according to RT.

This led to a flurry of significant archaeological discoveries until around 1960, when excavation work at the sites ceased.

Construction workers uncovered the 'second sphinx' during a roadworks project between the temples of Karnak and Luxor. 

The Egyptian infrastructure project has been halted while the statue is examined.

According to the area's Director General of Antiquities, Mohamed Abdel Aziz, the statue can not yet be lifted 'due to the nature of the environment it is in'.

Aziz has confirmed tourists are able to visit the road to see the statue for themselves, however, he confirmed no images of the statue have been released.

The Al-Kabbash Road project to excavate and restore the road first began in 2005 and is scheduled to be finished by the end of this year at a cost of $12.7 million (£10m).

The Great Sphinx of Giza was found by the Great Pyramids on the west bank of the river Nile and is the oldest and largest known monumental sculpture in the world

With the body of a lion and the head of a human, Great Sphinx of Giza measures a grand 239ft (73 metres) long and 65ft (20 metres) high. 

Literally translating to 'Father of Dread,' this mythical creature is believed to resemble Pharaoh Khafre, who was the ruler at the time of construction. 

It is believed that Djadefre, the elder brother of Khafra, built the Sphinx to honour his father Khufu.

It is just next to the Great Pyramid of Giza which was built as a tomb and a symbol of eternity for the Pharaoh Khufu

This would place the time of construction somewhere between 2550 BC and 2450 BC.

However the limited evidence linking the Sphinx to Khafra is circumstantial and somewhat ambiguous.

It was constructed around during the reign of Pharaoh Khafra, and it is thought that the face of the statue was modelled on his.

Over time it gradually became buried up to its neck in sand, which helped to preserve it before it was finally excavated in 1925.

It is just next to the Great Pyramid of Giza which was built as a tomb and a symbol of eternity for the Pharaoh Khufu.

It stands 456ft (139 metres) high – just over nine double decker buses stacked on top of one another.

It was the tallest man-made structure on Earth for 3,800 years and is accompanied by the smaller pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure

WHAT IS THE VALLEY OF THE KINGS?

The Valley of the Kings in upper Egypt is one of the country's main tourist attractions, situated next to the Giza pyramid complex.

The majority of the pharaohs of the 18th to 20th dynasties, who ruled from 1550 to 1069 BC, rested in the tombs which were cut into the local rock.

The royal tombs are decorated with scenes from Egyptian mythology and give clues as to the beliefs and funerary rituals of the period.

Almost all of the tombs were opened and looted centuries ago, but the sites still give an idea of the opulence and power of the Pharaohs.

The most famous pharaoh at the site is Tutankhamen, whose tomb was discovered in 1922.

Preserved to this day, in the tomb are original decorations of sacred imagery from, among others, the Book of Gates or the Book of Caverns.

These are among the most important funeral texts found on the walls of ancient Egyptian tombs.

Mysterious Void Detected Inside Giza’s Great Pyramid ...

Khaled al Anani, the national heritage chief, encouraged people to go and visit the site to see the new discovery.

Local news website Youm reported that the statue could not yet be lifted above ground “due to the nature of the environment it is in.”

The "second sphinx" was found just over six miles from the famous Valley of Kings – the burial place of the ancient Pharaohs.

It was uncovered between two the temples on the opposite bank of the River Nile.

Egyptologists and archeologists have a number of holy grails on their bucket lists – the tomb of Alexander the Great and that of Antony and Cleopatra are certainly at or near the top. A non-tomb Egyptian grail is the long rumored second Sphinx which many believe is positioned very near to the current one-and-only Great Sphinx of Giza. One would think that a statue of that size would easy to find but that hasn’t been the case, leading many to believe that ancient writings touting its existence are fakes. That hasn’t stopped sphinx-seekers like Reda Abdel Halim, who claims he’s known the location of the second sphinx since 1986 and is finally ready to reveal its location. Would this have anything to do with the fact that Reda Abdel Halim is currently the director of public relations for the Giza pyramids district at the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities?

“Dr. Reda Abdel Halim, Director of Public Relations at the Giza Pyramids, and the discoverer of the second Sphinx rock in the Giza pyramids area, said that this rock has existed for a long time in the tenth of King Khafre and perhaps before him, because some inscriptions found inside suggest that there is a connection between these The rock and between the ancient first Sphinx.”

(Google translation from Cairo Live)

Reda Abdel Halim announced his discovery to Cairo Live in late October and the news was met with skepticism throughout the Egyptology world, not to mention in his own department. Halim claimed he brought in a “property manager” in 1986 to measure the giant rock he found and its dimensions were 73 meters (246 feet) long, 20 meters (67 feet) high at the head, and the hands reach 15.5 meters (50.8 feet), which is … get ready … the same size as the Great Sphinx of Giza. Abdel Halim did not reveal the location, only to say it is in the area of the pyramids and he found it using research done by archeologists at Zagazig University.

“This is completely not true. The Sphinx is unique in Egypt and the world. … Any talk about discoveries of other similar statues is baseless and has only one purpose, which is creating media fanfare. Any claims about research on the Sphinx at the Zagazig University is also false. Studies and research must be published in a scientific journal so that we can respond with scientific evidence. Talks about a text that is said to have been inscribed on the Sphinx but got erased by the passage of the time mentioning the existence of another similar statue, are baseless.”

Renowned Egyptologist Zahi Hawass, former Minister of Antiquities and an archaeologist who oversaw the pyramids area for nearly 20 years, told Al-Monitor Abdel Halim’s claims are completely false and he scoffed at the ‘evidence’ – a description that was once on the Great Sphinx but is now worn off. Nevin al-Arif, media advisor to the minister of tourism and antiquities, agreed with Hawass and revealed the identity of the statue Adel Halim claims is the second Sphinx.

“The statue in question was discovered a long time ago in the area and has nothing to do with the original Sphinx. It is nothing but a normal statue.”

However, the final nail in the sarcophagus was hammered by Mohammed Hamza, the former dean of the faculty of archeology at Cairo University, who said:

“The Giza pyramids area is an active zone in terms of archaeology and tourism. If there were another Sphinx, scientists would have discovered it earlier. This area is of paramount importance, whether in the past or nowadays. Had there been any other Sphinx statue, it would have been discovered two hundred years ago. Excavations and digging operations are nonstop there.”

The Giza pyramids area is one of the most studied, looted, probed, scanned and searched archeological sites in the world. And yet, professional and amateur Egyptologists and archeologists are like Fox Mulder – they want to believe there’s a second Sphinx … so much so that they’re willing to ignore that Abdel Halim claims to have known about what would be a ‘this changes everything’ discovery since 1986.

If the Sphinx could grin, it would be right now.

Boeing proposes a constellation of between 1,396 and 2,956 V-band satellites in 35-74 orbital planes at 1,200 km in altitude. Each satellite's footprint would be subdivided into thousands of 8-11-km-diameter cells, with each cell using up to 5 GHz of bandwidth. Boeing also wants regulators to clear the way for a mega-constellation in C-band, athough Boeing is not planning its own C-band constellation.

UFO Fleet Seen Over Hong Kong, China On Nov 4, 2021, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: November 4, 2021
Location of sighting: Tai Po, Hong Kong, China

 

A fleet of UFOs were seen lined up on top of each other. The objects are thin disks, with a visible transparent center. much like the classic disk. The objects wobble every now and then, but they seem to be holding position in one place. I really wish the eyewitness could have gotten out of his car, but it looks like he was in a very busy part of Hong Kong and had no chance to pull over. But wow! Absolutely amazon catch. Aliens are probably keeping an eye out on Hong Kong, now that China has taken control of it.

Ancient Face 15km Long May Reveal Lost Island of Atlantis! Photos, UFO Sighting News.

 

Date of discovery: November 4, 2021

Location of discovery: Under Ocean Above Cook Islands

Google coordinates: -14.052251222835018, -161.26798135109377

Ok, just another day of exploration. I think I found the lost island of Atlantis. I mean only a technologically advanced civilization could construct such a massive face. It measures 4km across and over 14km tall from neck to top of head. The face looks very similar to ancient statues found on archeological digs around the world, and yet, this one is  14km long! I believe this is part of the lost island of Atlantis. I circled the island in a Google Earth photo at the bottom of this post. It looks like a sunken island that measures hundreds of km across. This could be the legendary island of Atlantis. This face...could be the face of the ancient Atlantans who lived there. A species of ancient aliens that tried to live on Earth long ago. 

 

Even Plato told a story of Atlantis around 360 B.C. The founders of Atlantis, he said, were half god and half human. They created a utopian civilization and became a great naval power. Plato said Atlantis existed about 9,000 years before his own time, and that its story had been passed down by poets, priests, and others. 

 

And now...we have found it! If people explore and find ancient alien technology still remaining intact...what will the world do with such technology?

Mankind has already attained several milestones in the field of modern space exploration. We have put several humans on the surface of the moon, sent unmanned space probes to foreign planets, and are currently even making plans to permanently colonize other celestial bodies. 

In view of present and future achievements, however, we should not forget that the foundations of manned space flight were not laid out of pure scientific interest, but rather because of the political turmoil of the time. 

In order to prove to their hated adversary that their own nation possessed the most advanced technology of all time, the United States and the Soviet Union showed little regard for casualties during the Cold War. 

We'd like to join you in taking a look at a somewhat lesser-known side of the "race to space." We take a look at the stories of some Soviet cosmonauts, which raise the critical question of how much human suffering is acceptable for the sake of technical progress. 

Additional: 

1. Vladimir Mikhaylovich Komarov (16 March 1927 – 24 April 1967) was a Soviet test pilot, aerospace engineer, and cosmonaut. In October 1964, he commanded Voskhod 1, the first spaceflight to carry more than one crew member. He became the first Soviet cosmonaut to fly in space twice when he was selected as the solo pilot of Soyuz 1, its first crewed test flight. A parachute failure caused his Soyuz capsule to crash into the ground after re-entry on 24 April 1967, making him the first human to die in a space flight. 

2. On June 16, 1963, aboard Vostok 6, Soviet Cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova becomes the first woman to travel into space. After 48 orbits and 71 hours, she returned to earth, having spent more time in space than all U.S. astronauts combined to that date. 

But, was Soviet Cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova the first woman to travel into space? 

The Torre Bert Recordings. 

The Judica-Cordiglia brothers are two former amateur radio operators who made audio recordings that allegedly supported the conspiracy theory that the Soviet space program had covered up cosmonaut deaths in the 1960s. 

On May 19, 1961, the Torre Bert listening station ( Judica-Cordiglia brothers) in northern Italy purportedly picked up a transmission of a woman’s voice, sounding confused and frightened as her craft began to break up upon reentry. 

Is this the first woman in space? 

The supposed recording of a Soviet space flight in 1961. In it, a Russian woman can be heard complaining about the increasing temperature inside the craft before it is destroyed attempting re-entry. 

This was recorded by the Judica-Cordiglia brothers in 1961. It is reportedly one of many transmissions intercepted by the two brothers that prove the existence of the lost cosmonauts. 

The following is a translation of what the woman is saying: 

five…four…three …two…one…one two…three…four…five… come in… come in… come in… LISTEN…LISTEN! …COME IN! COME IN… COME IN… TALK TO ME! TALK TO ME!… I AM HOT!… I AM HOT! WHAT?… FORTYFIVE?… WHAT?… FORTYFIVE?… FIFTY?… YES…YES…YES… BREATHING… BREATHING… OXYGEN… OXYGEN… I AM HOT… (THIS) ISN’T THIS DANGEROUS?… IT’S ALL… ISN’T THIS DANGEROUS?… IT’S ALL… YES…YES…YES… HOW IS THIS? WHAT?… TALK TO ME!… HOW SHOULD I TRANSMIT? YES…YES…YES… WHAT? OUR TRANSMISSION BEGINS NOW… FORTYONE… THIS WAY… OUR TRANSMISSION BEGINS NOW… FORTYONE… THIS WAY… OUR TRANSMISSION BEGINS NOW… FORTYONE… YES… I FEEL HOT… I FEEL HOT… IT’S ALL… IT’S HOT… I FEEL HOT… I FEEL HOT… I FEEL HOT… … I CAN SEE A FLAME!… WHAT?… I CAN SEE A FLAME!… I CAN SEE A FLAME!… I FEEL HOT… I FEEL HOT… THIRTYTWO… THIRTYTWO… FORTYONE… FORTYONE AM I GOING TO CRASH?… YES…YES… I FEEL HOT!… I FEEL HOT!… I WILL REENTER!… I WILL REENTER… I AM LISTENING!… I FEEL HOT!…

“A race of Venus came to planet Earth millions of years ago”

The Ancient Astronaut theory is being taken more and more seriously by science. But who were these beings and where did they come from? According to a new hypothesis, some of these beings could come from Venus.

In recent years, the existence of extraterrestrial life in scientific nuclei has been discussed more , reaching the point of questioning whether we have not been visited for thousands of years. A new theory could show that beings from Venus came to Earth long before humans evolved.

Beings of Venus on Earth?

For decades, NASA has shown various aspects of the physical nature of Venus, thanks to space probes.

Spokesmen for exploration missions have stated that its environment is extremely hostile , with air laden with carbon dioxide and infernal barometric pressure . It also has a heat that exceeds 100 degrees Celsius along with dense clouds of sulfuric acid.

In short, on Venus it would be impossible for life to be born. But a declassified archive from 1989, which is practically unknown , could change our perception of that world.

The document relates to the different contacts that have existed between Earth and Venus and how the inhabitants of the latter came thousands of years ago , and continued to come to “meet” the human being.

This declassified document presents, then, a direct contradiction to what NASA has explained about the inhospitable nature of Venus.

Obviously, many people prefer to trust what science has said and forget everything that changes the official version .

However, there is a question … Why was a document that, supposedly, contradictory, was classified and kept hidden for more than 30 years?

Obviously, theorists around the world have started to make statements, blaming NASA and the elites for hiding information about space.

“They want to help humanity”

If scientists, the only ones with the ability to study beyond Earth’s borders, have lied to us in the past, why not distrust their information about Venus?

The possibility of life on Venus completely changes general thinking about our Solar System. This is because we have been led to believe that the galaxy is an immense desert with only one oasis; the earth.

Obviously, there is another possibility; that terrestrial technology is not advanced enough to locate life on that planet.

According to this report, we can understand that the civilization of Venus managed to solve all the problems that afflict humanity today. An example of this are wars, crime, corruption and other issues that do so much damage to society in general.

This is due to the development of peaceful collective values that are based on respect, understanding and love. Through their frequent contacts with different personalities on Earth, Venusians came to offer us help in solving all these issues that prevent us from evolving as humanity.

The problem is that this support is always accompanied by a request for the abandonment of weapons of mass destruction. Reason that makes us understand why this document has been classified and, subsequently, hidden.

• If there is a developed civilization on Venus and NASA has hidden it or does not know of its existence, it is something that we will probably never know. However, if we manage to make contact with a civilization that supports us in our evolution, would we react correctly?

The hacker who was able to access NASA and saw alien ships (Video)

One of the most important hackers in history is Gary MacKinnon, better known as Solo, revealed that NASA has alien secrets in its files.

Born in February 66, Gary McKinnon is considered one of  the most dangerous alleged hackers . He was accused of robbing 97 computers, both military and NASA between 2001 and 2002.

The most dangerous hacker in history

He was only in charge of reviewing secrets from the Army, Navy, Defense Department, Air Force and the Pentagon.

The costs of tracking and correcting the problems the hacker created are believed to be as high as  $ 700,000 .

According to experts, if the extradition to the United States had been carried out, McKinnon would have faced up to  70 years in prison . He even expressed fear many times that he had been sent to Guantánamo.

Scientist invents technology to see multidimensional beings

Daniel Nemes  scientist and inventor, originally from Spain but residing in Colombia, since he was 14 years old he became interested in astronomy and science. He was a member of the astronomical group of Madrid, Spain.

He says that the project started when he read an article in a magazine about the Dark Matter of the universe and the multidimensional universe momentarily interested him and called attention so he had the initiative to perform mathematical calculations and optical experiments to be able to capture images of ” the beyond”.

He discovered a method of capturing far superior to infrared, ultraviolet, black light, video camera with TV without antenna, etc. And that method I call ENERGIVISION . I use special lenses, ultrasensitive screens of his invention and above all sunlight. The images that he captures are of unknown origin. He explains that his theory is that they are images of other planes. However he says he has not traveled to other places to expose the invention. He has tried to make known to the scientific community and only answered a scientific body of the USA and in a rude way. The media have ignored and silenced the discovery along with the images captured.

Daniel Nemes says: “The only way I have to publicize my invention and the captures are by Facebook, since 2015 I have posted 1000 photos on my facebook. When I started to publish my images on my social network I had a lot of rejection, it was very hard and even insults towards me, fortunately my images are now more known and when I post on my facebook or in other groups it is rare to receive a disqualification or insult ” .

Judge for yourself the following images, the note is at the discretion of each person.

If you want more information about this technology I suggest you go to the following link:  Daniel Nemes

UFOs and UAP: History, sightings and mysteries

By Mike Wall 

A still from a U.S. Navy video of a UFO sighting.

UFOs are coming out of the shadows.

Discussion of unidentified flying objects — or, as they have recently been rebranded, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) — was long relegated to society's fringes. The topic was toxic, and many people avoided serious engagement with it out of fear of being branded a crackpot. 

But that has begun to change in the past few years. Prominent scientists now openly push for serious study of UFOs, and the U.S. Navy recently drew up new guidelines that encourage pilots to report curious or confusing sky sights.

Read on for a brief history of UFO sightings, potential explanations for them and cultural attitudes toward the phenomenon.

• Related: 7 things most often mistaken for UFOs

THE FASCINATION WITH THE SKY AND UFOS

People have seen intriguing or confounding objects in the sky for as long as we've been looking up.

Over the eons, for example, many different cultures have regarded meteors and comets as supernatural phenomena, or at least processed them through a supernatural lens. These dramatic sky lights have been deemed manifestations of a deity's displeasure or interpreted as signs that something wonderful, terrible or simply consequential is soon to happen. 

Evidence of this view can be found in the 11th-century Bayeux Tapestry, which chronicles the events leading up to the Norman conquest of England in 1066 CE. The famous Halley's Comet zoomed through the inner solar system that same year, and the 230-foot-long (70 meters) tapestry depicts it blazing ominously above the head of England's King Harold II.

"We see the new king sat on a throne, with nobles to the left and Archbishop Stigand to the right," the Reading Museum wrote in a description of the tapestry's comet scene. (Harold was crowned on Jan. 6, 1066.)  

"At the far side, he is cheered on by the masses," the description continued. "On the far right, Halley's Comet appears in the sky. People think it an evil omen and grow terrified. News of the comet is brought to Harold. Beneath him, a ghostly fleet of ships appears in the lower border, a hint of the Norman invasion to come."

Harold was killed by William the Conqueror's troops during the decisive Battle of Hastings, on Oct. 14, 1066.

UFOS: THE EARLY YEARS

The UFO phenomenon as we know it today is much more recent, dating to the era of powered flight. This makes a lot of sense; there weren't nearly as many flying objects to be puzzled by in William the Conqueror's day.

UFOs really took off during World War II, when Allied pilots in both the European and Pacific theaters reported seeing puzzling lights or objects in the sky. They called these curiosities "foo fighters," a term better known today as the band fronted by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl.   

Then, in June 1947, American businessman and aviator Kenneth Arnold reported seeing nine shiny, mysterious craft zipping through the skies near Washington's Mount Rainier. Some newspaper stories described these UFOs as "flying disks" or "flying saucers," and the latter term soon wormed its way into the public consciousness.

UFO reports surged in the wake of Arnold's sighting, some of them even winding up in the pages of The New York Times. One of the items the Times picked up was the discovery of some seemingly exotic wreckage on a ranch in Lincoln County, New Mexico in 1947.

In July of that year, a public information officer at the (relatively) nearby Roswell Army Air Field described the debris as a "flying disk," briefly igniting a firestorm of confused interest. Army officials quickly retracted that statement, explaining that the material in question was the remains of a crashed weather balloon, and the "Roswell incident" faded into obscurity. 

(It came roaring back three decades later, however, revived by UFO enthusiasts who claimed that the U.S. government had found an alien spacecraft in New Mexico, perhaps even with extraterrestrials inside, and covered the whole thing up. Some conspiracists believe the wreckage was spirited to a hush-hush military site in southern Nevada called Area 51, where study of the aliens and their craft continues to this day.)

The U.S. military, concerned that some of these UFOs might pose a threat to national security, soon began to investigate sightings systematically. The Air Force established Project Sign to this end in 1947, then followed that with the similarly short-lived Project Grudge in 1948. The more well-known Project Blue Book got started in 1952 and ran all the way to 1969, examining more than 12,600 UFO reports along the way.

One of the sightings Project Blue Book investigated was that of Betty and Barney Hill, who claimed they were captured and examined by extraterrestrials in rural New Hampshire in September 1961. The couple's account started getting picked up by newspapers in 1965, becoming the first-ever widely publicized alien-abduction story, as History.com noted.

• Related: UFO watch: 8 times the government looked for flying saucers

UFO REPORTS IN MODERN TIMES

UFO sightings didn't end when Project Blue Book wrapped up, of course; they've kept on rolling in over the decades. 

Some of the most famous ones in the past half-century include that of Travis Walton, an Arizona man whose 1975 alien-abduction claim was dramatized in the 1993 film "Fire in the Sky;" the Rendlesham Forest incident, a string of mysterious observations near England's Royal Air Force Woodbridge station in December 1980; and the Phoenix Lights, which confused many Arizonans in March 1997.

And, in November 2004, several U.S. Navy pilots flying off the coast of San Diego reported seeing bizarre craft zooming through the sky, seemingly maneuvering in ways that exceeded the limits of known technology. Other Navy pilots had similar experiences off the U.S. East Coast a decade later, making a series of intriguing observations from June 2014 to March 2015.

The pilots captured infrared video of some of these encounters using their onboard camera systems. Three of these videos went viral in December 2017 when The New York Times published them as part of a blockbuster story about a previously secret military UFO-investigating effort called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, or AATIP for short.

Politico and The Washington Post also published deep dives into AATIP, which was first funded at the request of then-Senator Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and appears to have been a driving force in the rebranding of UFOs to UAP, a term with less historical baggage. The program ran from 2007 until a funding phaseout in 2012, though AATIP personnel have said its work continued in an unofficial capacity for a few years after that.

AATIP has a successor, and it was born in the sunlight, comparatively speaking. In the summer of 2020, the Pentagon announced the establishment of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF), whose mission is "to detect, analyze and catalog UAPs that could potentially pose a threat to U.S. national security."

We've seen some of the task force's work already. In June 2021, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) released a congressionally mandated report outlining what the UAPTF, the FBI and the Office of Naval Intelligence make of 144 recent UFO encounters documented by U.S. government sensors, with a focus on sightings by Navy pilots between November 2004 and March 2021.  

The report, a preliminary nine-page assessment that you can read here, found that 18 of the 144 UFOs moved in odd or unexpected ways.

"Some UAP appeared to remain stationary in winds aloft, move against the wind, maneuver abruptly or move at considerable speed, without discernible means of propulsion. In a small number of cases, military aircraft systems processed radio frequency (RF) energy associated with UAP sightings," the report states.

• Related: What does the Pentagon's new UFO task force mean?

ARE UFOS REAL?

UFOs are undeniably real; people often see things in the sky that they can't identify. But that doesn't necessarily mean there's anything exotic going on.

For example, the 1947 Roswell debris actually came from a high-altitude balloon lofted by the U.S. military as part of Project Mogul, a secret program that searched for evidence of atomic bomb tests by the Soviet Union. And the 1997 Phoenix Lights were likely caused by high-flying planes and a military flare-dropping exercise.  

Alien-abduction stories are more complicated, as they tend to involve more psychological components. But some research suggests that at least some such reports may be explained by lucid dreaming, an odd sleep state in which people can control their dreams.

Project Blue Book got to the bottom of the vast majority of the 12,600 sightings it investigated, ascribing most of them to natural phenomena such as clouds, stars and bright planets. The Air Force researchers could not explain 701 of the encounters, but they concluded that none displayed evidence of otherworldly technology or posed a threat to national security.

The 2021 DNI report evinces less certainty, positively identifying just one of the 144 examined UAP. (That lone demystified object was a large, deflating balloon.) The investigators stressed that more data are needed to understand UAP, which likely have multiple explanations. For example, strange and seemingly inexplicable movement patterns "could be the result of sensor errors, spoofing or observer misperception and require additional rigorous analysis," the report states.

Advanced technology developed by foreign adversaries is another potential cause. If foreign tech is indeed behind some of these sightings, UAP would "represent a national security challenge," the report adds. 

This possibility has spurred the U.S. military to take the UAP issue more seriously than ever before. In 2019, for example, the Navy formalized its UFO-reporting guidelines, a revision that could remove much of the stigma that has long been associated with sightings, as Politico noted.

The 2021 DNI assessment does not explicitly mention the alien hypothesis; it's implicitly lumped into a catch-all "other" category of possible explanations. And there are good reasons not to leap to the E.T. conclusion, experts say.

For example, the Navy pilots' sightings in 2004, 2014 and 2015 occurred in coastal waters, which is where you might expect to find advanced reconnaissance craft operated by rival nations, pointed out Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer at the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute in Mountain View, California. (Flights over the U.S. mainland would be much easier to detect.) And some of the encounters apparently occurred shortly after the Navy jets' radar systems were upgraded, suggesting a glitch of some kind might be responsible.

Indeed, it may be telling that imagery of UFOs, no matter what era it was captured in, tends to depict the objects as fuzzy blobs.

"The sightings always recede to the edge of what technology allows you to do," Shostak told Space.com in 2019. "The aliens are kind of keeping pace with technology."

Common sense also argues for relatively mundane, terrestrial explanations, and not just because of Occam's Razor (the simplest explanation is usually the best one). For example, if some UFOs are indeed alien spacecraft, what exactly are they up to? 

"If the aliens are here, you gotta say they're the best houseguests ever, because they never do anything," Shostak said. "They just buzz around. They don't address climate change; they don't steal our molybdenum."

• Related: The search for alien life (reference)

KEEPING AN OPEN MIND ON UFOS

Still, the E.T. idea should not be dismissed or ridiculed, Shostak and others argue. It's not very scientific to eliminate a hypothesis out of hand, after all, and some UAP encounters are very difficult to explain.

For example, the November 2004 Navy sightings off the California coast were made by four pilots in two different jets, and they saw the bizarre, fast-moving object with their own eyes, two of the aviators told the CBS news program "60 Minutes" in 2021. That rules out the possibility that an instrument glitch was responsible in that case. And the same UAP was also documented by radar.

"It's not trivial to say what these things are," Shostak said.

There's a growing willingness to entertain all possible explanations, including the alien hypothesis, for such encounters. For example, in July 2021, Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb and colleagues announced a venture called the Galileo Project, which will look for evidence of extraterrestrial civilizations (ETCs) using a network of new telescope systems around the world.

Among other aims, the Galileo Project will attempt to determine the true nature of UAP and odd bodies such as 'Oumuamua, the first interstellar object ever observed in our own solar system. 

'Oumuamua's strangeness led Loeb to suggest that the visitor may be a defunct alien spacecraft. This notion, while still well out of the scientific mainstream, is less outre today than it would have been just a decade or so ago, largely because of the exoplanet revolution. 

In recent years, astronomers have learned that roughly 20% of the Milky Way's 200 billion or so stars probably harbor a rocky planet in their "habitable zone," the range of orbital distances in which liquid water could exist on a world's surface. And a world doesn't have to be in the habitable zone to harbor habitable environments. Multiple moons in our own solar system, such as Jupiter's Europa and Saturn's Enceladus, sport huge oceans beneath their icy shells, after all.

"Given the recently discovered abundance of habitable-zone exoplanets, with potential for extraterrestrial life, the Galileo Project is dedicated to the proposition that humans can no longer ignore the possible existence of ETCs," Loeb said in a July 2021 statement. 

"Science should not reject potential extraterrestrial explanations because of social stigma or cultural preferences that are not conducive to the scientific method of unbiased, empirical inquiry," he added. "We now must 'dare to look through new telescopes,' both literally and figuratively."

At first glance there doesn’t seem to be anything all that remarkable about the town of Carman, in the Pembina Valley Region of southern Manitoba, Canada. The small agricultural town of around 3,000 is mostly rural, a quiet and serene place surround by a rich prairie agricultural belt as far as the eye can see, where not much ever really happens. It is the sort of place one could drive right on by without paying much attention to it. Yet in the years of 1975 and 1976, this rural hamlet of farms would become the center of one of the strangest and well-witnessed UFO sighting flaps in Canadian history, when the area would be visited by a persistent, mischievous, almost playful UFO that would affectionately come to be known as “Charlie Red Star.”

It seems to be unclear just when exactly the wave of sightings and the overall phenomena started, but it is most often said to have begun in February of 1975, when a farmer was going about his daily chores near his barn when he saw a “red light that looked like a ball” and measuring 14 to 18 inches in diameter swoop down to buzz right over his head. It would apparently emit a searing heat and disorient the farmer for the duration of its appearance, before shooting off into the night. After this, a strange red light or fireball would frequently be seen hovering and bobbing about the area, and the sightings would start to come in at a good clip, sometimes reporting a smallish orb of light that seemed to dart towards people and dart away as if playing, while other reports seem to describe objects more akin to a traditional UFO or “flying saucer,” sometimes even making mention of a larger object with the orbs dancing about it, and some of the reports particularly stand out.

One of these occurred on March 27, 1975, when a young girl was woken in the middle of the night by a piercing screaming noise outside that sounded sort of like a siren. As she sat there in her bed, she claimed that the whole house began to shudder as if an earthquake was happening and she rushed to the window to look outside. As she did, she claimed that she had seen a blazing red ball of light pass her window, flooding the room with light and emanating so much heat that she at first thought that it had set her home ablaze. As it rose up it passed over the house and then flew back in front of her, hovering there in the night and so bright that she would describe it as “looking like the Sun was coming up” before finally whizzing off into the distance, illuminating the ground along the way.

The following month, on April 10, 1975, a couple by the names of Bob and Elaine Diemert were out at a private airfield on their rural farmland property when they were startled to see a large red slow-moving light hovering over the tree line not far away. When they approached, they could see through the light that it was a disk shaped object with a dome attached. The object hovered there for about 5 minutes, immersed in a “red, pulsing light,” before flying straight at them and then suddenly veering off to fly off over the tree tops. After this, the mysterious object began to visit their farm on a nearly nightly basis, to the point that droves of curiosity seekers began showing up every evening to see the light show for themselves, with most witnesses describing it as playful and mischievous. Hovering over them, shooting back and forth, approaching observers, and repeatedly flying over their heads in a breathtaking display of aerial acrobatics, it was quite the sight to behold. It was at around this time that people began referring to the object as “Charlie Red Star,” delighting whole crowds of people. A Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Constable by the name of Ian Nicholson also came to the Diemert farm to see the object for himself, describing it as “as an oval red light, surrounded with an X-shaped white halo.” The Constable would

I sat there for two or three minutes just looking at the object, which appeared stationary at the time. Then I decided to get a closer look at it. I drove west…and I can say I was moving pretty fast. As I was going west, the object seemed to be flying in a northeasterly direction. I continued for approximately 12 miles, keeping the object in sight, trying to get somewhat abreast of it so that if the opportunity presented itself, I could have driven north toward it. About 16 miles west of Carman, I stopped the car. I’d seen there was no way I was going to catch up to it. So I just stopped the car and watched the object go out of sight over the tree line on the horizon.

In the meanwhile, the UFO (or UFOs) was being spotted all over the area by people from all walks of life, most often described as a large bright red, domed disc, sometimes with fiery orbs darting about it. Word was getting out about the very strange phenomena in the skies of the area of Carman, and before long people were pouring into the region to get a look, causing traffic jams and making a big fuss. Many of those who saw the phenomena were traditionally reliable witnesses such as law enforcement officers and pilots. One airline pilot by the name of Roger Pitts saw it, and would say of his experience:

It was flying on a 45-degree angle, but it was still flying straight at us. As we watched, it didn’t turn around. It just went directly the other way straight away from us. It just went off into the distance away from us, and a puff of smoke appeared – an odd shape, like a small cloud, and it disappeared in that.

One of the strangest events concerning Charlie Red Star allegedly occurred on the night of May 13, 1975, when a TV news crew comprised of a Bill Kendricks, John Berry, and two others arrived in Carman to see if they could try and film whatever Charlie Red Star was. The crew had arrived on May 11, but had seen absolutely nothing of interest except a far-off slow-moving light that they wrote off as an airplane, but on May 13, things would get strange.  Kendricks headed out to try again, along with a crew including film technician Alan Kerr and newspaper editor Howard Bennett. This time they would witness a light that rose up over the tree line, flashed a bright light, and then shot straight up into the sky at breathtaking speed. The group then split up and the object then returned, and Bennet would say of what he saw:

I could see this big glow behind some trees less than half a mile away off to the right and ahead of us … It was smoky red, a hazy glow, and to me the thing was higher than the trees, maybe 50 feet tall. It was about 20 feet thick and was sitting at an angle of about 45 degrees. The edges were fuzzy and not sharply defined. It was much like seeing a drive-in movie screen from the side.

The other groups also saw it, describing it as looking “like a blood red Moon” bobbing up and down through the trees, always completely silent. Allen Kerr, the cameraman, was even able to capture a few seconds of footage of the object as it flew overhead, although since it merely shows a red light in the sky it is inconclusive. The team would return to the site a few days later with a radiation meter and claim to have found several spots with radiation anomalies. What was going on here and what did this crew see and film? Sightings would continue on through the summer. On June 4, 1975, a farmer was out in his pasture when he saw a huge, glowing red disk with two domes on top. It was so frightening to him that he tried to leave in his truck but the craft allegedly made his engine die before flying off. On July 1^st, a group of three witnesses saw the object hovering and moving about erratically around a grain elevator before landing in a nearby field and then flying off. These witnesses would give a very detailed description of the object, with one of them reporting:

It was about 85 feet in diameter and perfectly round so round it was unbelievable. It was saucer shaped…and the top and bottom travelled in different directions. The bottom one spun…to the right, and the top one spun to the left. There was a center section that didn’t move, about six to eight feet in width, and there were oval shaped windows in it. I’d say that there were about 16 windows in the whole circumference, eight looking on the side we were on.

The very next day, another witness claimed that the object had landed in one of his fields and left behind an oval patch of dead vegetation and “tripod marks.” The sightings went on throughout the summer, and the Carman region was becoming well-known nationwide as a UFO watching hotspot. People from all over Canada and the United States came in large numbers to catch a glimpse, with some even claiming to have chased it in their cars, and there were hundreds of sightings reported throughout the summer. Sightings of Charlie Red Star would continue on through the fall and winter, and well into 1976 before decreasing in frequency and then just stopping altogether to leave the area in bafflement. UFO researcher Grant Cameron would provide the most in-depth account of these events in his book Charlie Red Star: True Reports of one of North America’s Biggest UFO Sightings, where there is a treasure trove of more sightings like these in great detail, and Cameron himself even says he witnessed Charlie Red Star on several occasions. He would wait over 30 years before publishing his research on the strange flap, and would later speculate that whatever it was, it had been drawn to secret nuclear facilities in the region just south of the U.S. and Canadian border. He would find that the missiles being stored there had been removed at the end of 1975, and that this might have a connection with the phenomena stopping.

In the end there is little that we can do to come to terms with all of these sightings. We don’t know what the objects or objects were, or what they wanted. Why did this happen here in this nondescript little place? Where did it come from and what did it want? Was this all hallucinations and a massive hoax, or was it something else? It remains unknown.

Researchers Discovered A Method To Manipulate Orbiting Debris With Spinning Magnets

Eddie Gonzales Jr. – MessageToEagle.com – Space has become a trash heap. According to NASA, there are more than 27,000 pieces of space debris bigger than the size of a softball currently orbiting Earth, and they are traveling at speeds of up to 17,500 mph, fast enough for a small chunk to damage a satellite or spacecraft like an intergalactic cannonball.

Consequently, cleaning up this space junk will be an important task if agencies are to shoot more rockets and satellites into orbit. University of Utah mechanical engineering professor Jake J. Abbott is leading a team of researchers that has discovered a method to manipulate orbiting debris with spinning magnets. With this technology, robots could one day gently maneuver the scrap to a decaying orbit or further out into space without actually touching it, or they could repair malfunctioning objects to extend their life.

Their research is detailed in the paper, “Dexterous magnetic manipulation of conductive non-magnetic objects,” published this month in the science journal, Nature. The co-authors include U graduate students Lan Pham, Griffin Tabor and Ashkan Pourkand, former graduate student Jacob L. B. Aman, and U School of Computing associate professor Tucker Hermans. You can read a copy of the paper here.

The concept involves moving metallic, non-magnetized objects in space with spinning magnets. When the metallic debris is subjected to a changing magnetic field, electrons circulate within the metal in circular loops, “like when you swirl your cup of coffee and it goes around and around,” says Abbott.

The process turns the piece of debris into essentially an electromagnet that creates torque and force, which can allow you to control where the debris goes without physically grabbing it.

While the idea of using these kinds of magnetic currents to manipulate objects in space is not new, what Abbott and his team have discovered is that using multiple magnetic-field sources in a coordinated fashion allows them to move the objects in six degrees of movement, including rotating them. Before, it was only known how to move them in one degree of movement, like just pushing them.

“What we wanted to do was to manipulate the thing, not just shove it but actually manipulate it like you do on Earth,” he says. “That form of dexterous manipulation has never been done before.”

With this new knowledge, scientists for example could stop a damaged satellite from wildly spinning in order to repair it, something that would not have been possible before.

“You have to take this crazy object floating in space, and you have to get it into a position where it can be manipulated by a robot arm,” Abbott says. “But if it’s spinning out of control, you could break the robot arm doing that, which would just create more debris.”

This method also allows scientists to manipulate objects that are especially fragile. While a robot arm could damage an object because its claw applies force to one part of it, these magnets would apply a gentler force to the entire object so no one section is harmed.

To test their research, the team used a series of magnets to move a copper ball on a plastic raft in a tank of water (the best way to simulate slow-moving objects in microgravity). The magnets moved the sphere not only in a square, but they also rotated the ball.

Abbott says this newly discovered process could be used with a spinning magnet on a robotic arm, a stationary magnet that creates spinning magnetic fields, or a spinning super-conductive electromagnet like those used in MRI scanners.

Abbott believes this principle of manipulating non-magnetic metallic objects with magnets could also have applications beyond the clearing of space debris.

“I’m starting to open my mind to what potential applications there are,” he says. “We have a new way to apply a force to an object for precise alignment without touching it.”

But for now, this idea could immediately be applied to help fix the problem of space junk orbiting the Earth.

“NASA is tracking thousands of space debris the same way that air traffic controllers track aircraft. You have to know where they are because you could accidentally crash into them,” Abbott says. “The U.S. government and the governments of the world know of this problem because there is more and more of this stuff accumulating with each passing day.”

Alien Face Found On Mars That Resembles Shrek! NASA Source, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery: November 3, 2021

Location of discovery: Mars

I found a small face on Mars near the NASA rover. The photos were taken today and show a small fossil face with some bone fragments not far from it. The face is more like from the movie Shrek, big rounded, troll like. Its clearly has a lot of human features. Its eye ridges are massive and its nose several times our own. Its upper lip is extending farther than its lower lip. Its cheeks long, its ear behind the eye ridge. It even appears to have a muscle wrinkle at the mouth edge...a smile line from so much smiling perhaps. 

 

I believe this to be an alien fossil. The detail and the uniqueness make it highly unlikely that its a sculpture. The detail is just too good. Also there are thick bone fragments not far from the head. Why is the face so well preserved? Well, if an alien species has more than 3 strands of DNA, it would actually harden the skin, muscles, bones...making them more compact, more difficult to break down in the environment  The more strands of DNA the species has, the less it will break down. The face is only about 2 inches or 4cm across. Very small, yet only 1/2 meter from the rover itself...and NASA ignored it. 

 

100% proof that NASA is not doing their job on Mars with the Rovers! NASA has no intention of telling the public the truth. If they did, it would create a race to get there by other countries, to find ancient technology left behind.

NASA put the photos into false color, which hides detail, so I put it back into normal color mode.
