Video: UFO Crosses Sky Over California Desert on Wednesday Afternoon, May 3, 2017.

"Frank Zappa" films clearest UFO video in years. Are they here because of DPRK's Atomic Program?

The clearest UFO video footage in years coincides with a study that says California is a UFO hotspot

One thing is for sure: This one is no fake. Who could create such a bright light in the sky for 2 minutes? Seeing is believing, and this is the clearest UFO video we have seen in years.

A UFO flying over head in the California Desert at 5:20 p.m. on Wednesday, has been posted to Youtube by a user calling himself Frank Zappa. The famous musician has been dead for ten years, so it seems unlikely that Zappa himself posted it. Though Zappa did name his daughter, the subject of "Valley Girl," Moon Unit. But I digress.

Meanwhile, California is reported to be the site of most UFO sightings. "UFO Sightings Desk Reference," a new book on reported UFO sightings, found that California had the most reports of visual encounters with unidentified objects in the United States. This includes hundreds of reported sightings, CBS San Francisco reports.

The book analyzed more than 120,000 reports of UFOs and found more Californians believed they'd come in contact with extraterrestrial life than anyone else in the country.

Was the appearance connected in anyway with international Star Wars day, May the 4th Be With You, celebrated Thursday? Ok, that one's a stretch. But nuclear weapons testing in North Korea may be connected, actually. After all, 1950's atomic bomb testing in Nevada attracted hundreds of alien spacecraft. The DPRK has accelerated it's program recently, with similar effect. Was the UFO a missile from Vandenberg, or even the DPRK?

"We found that UFOs were sighted in every county in the United States. Every county had at least one sighting sometime in the past 15 years," the book's co-author, Cheryl Costa, explained.

According to Costa, Santa Clara County topped the list in Northern California with 569 reported sightings. Alameda County was second with 518, while San Francisco trailed with 327, reports CBS News

So what happened to the Zappa UFO after it left visual range? Did it crash in the desert and create yet another crater?

Gargantuan craters are seen pockmarking the rest of the solar system other than Earth. Recent studies of such impact craters on the moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars suggested that meteor strikes could trigger volcanic activity.

Film of the Zappa UFO is embedded above and lasts for just over 2 minutes.

However, over the course of millions of years, geological activity has eradicated the vast majority of ancient impact craters on Earth. This has limited research into whether meteor strikes could also set off volcanism on Earth, said study senior author Balz Kamber, a geochemist in Trinity College Dublin in Ireland, and his colleagues.

As for Zappa: In May 1982, Frank Zappa released Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch, which featured his biggest selling single ever, the Grammy Award-nominated song "Valley Girl" (topping out at No. 32 on the Billboard charts).

In her improvised lyrics to the song, Zappa's daughter Moon Unit satirized the patois of teenage girls from the San Fernando Valley, which popularized many "Valspeak" expressions such as "gag me with a spoon", "fer sure, fer sure", "grody to the max", and "barf out".

UFO spotted in Paris and other cities around the globe

By Ariyanna Norman, Komando.com

It appears to be a cigar-shaped spaceship with blinking beams of light. Tyler Glockner, the man who runs the channel, posted a video discussing the sighting. Then Glockner posted a follow-up video to about the similarities between the sightings in France and two other countries.

Watch the video for yourself below (or click here to see it). Do you think it's a hoax or something else?

As Glockner stated, the 2010 incident in China shut down an airport. Some Chinese people believe it was a U.S. missile or some other man-made device. The media picked up the story but the investigations didn't provide conclusive answers. The sighting in Austrailia was a report from 2014 that Glockner posted when he started the channel.

What do you think? You have to admit, the structures that flew over France, China and Austrailia all look very similar. Is this a sporadic hoax that has been going on for the past seven years? Or are these actual sightings of aliens?

VIDEO SHOWS HORROR VISION OF OUR FUTURE DOMINATED BY AN AI MILITARY ARMY

A video has been released for the Lukas Haas and Michelle Rodriguez movie with the name of 2031. The Movie takes on a militant robot uprising. But as automation technology and AI advance, could this be the harrowing future that Earth is heading towards?

WILL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENT ROBOTS TAKE OVER THE WORLD BY 2031? 

This is the age of automation and artificial intelligence and robots have been known to take over the jobs of people and leave them redundant. By 2030 it has been suggested that millions of jobs may be automated, leaving people out of work, but 2031 The Movie highlights other fears, the existence of humans.

The trailers opening scenes reveal that 1 in 50 soldiers in Afghanistan are automated in 2031 and this gives hints about the prevalence of artificial intelligence in society and more to the point, the warfaring capabilities of robots with artificial intelligence.

A FUTURE THAT IS HARROWING MAY BECOME REALITY

In the short film Lukas Haas and Michelle Rodriguez, perhaps better known for her role in the Fast and Furious movie, get together to help to put an end to the eradication of humanity, Rodriguez plays an ex-solider, while Haas plays an engineer. The pair has to work side by side to make use of the information they have to ensure that the world is not taken over by robots.

The video does paint a picture of a future of Earth where artificial intelligence in robots are not just replacing jobs of checkout clerks, lawyers, and business professionals, in the future they are an oppressive mechanical force that is superior to human beings that makes organic humans obsolete. It is a harrowing vision of what Earth might look like in 2031 as technology, and in particular, artificial intelligence is fast improving and getting better.

2031 The Movie shows robots, very similar to those envisioned in The Terminator movies, walking around the streets with guns tackling crime. They are positioned on street corners and walking among the general public when the robots begin behaving strangely, shooting down a helicopter. Once again Rodriguez takes on a tough girl image, being an ex-solider, to take on the artificially intelligent robots, which come in all shapes and sizes, from totally eradicating human beings on planet Earth. It is food for thought, is this how the world will end when humans have designed the technology to give life to the robots, will they wipe out their creators and take over?

ACTA ASTRONAUTICA: 'WE ARE NOT READY FOR CONTACT WITH EXTRATERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE'

Are humans ready to make contact with alien intelligence?

Project scientists at SETI are known for tracking what may be extra-terrestrial signals, but now it looks as though they are thinking about sending messages to aliens and giving them the position of humans of Earth. But are humans ready for making contact with aliens?

RESEARCHER ASKS STUDENTS WHETHER THEY ARE READY TO GREET ALIEN LIFEFORMS 

One researcher from the Spain’s University of Cadiz has questioned the idea after gathering results from a survey taken by students at the University, which revealed ignorance in general about the cosmos along with the influence of religion when it comes to dealing with these matters.

The SETI project, Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence was an initiative that started out in the 70s after funding was given from NASA. Today it has evolved to the collaboration of many millions of users on the internet for processing data from the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, home to the space tracking.

STEPHEN HAWKING WARNS OF RISKS OF SENDING OUT EARTH INVITATION TO ALIENS

The project is controversial. However, members want to go a step further and not only search for possible signs of extra-terrestrial life but send messages out from Earth to try to find possible alien civilizations. Stephen Hawking, astrophysicists, has warned about the risks of making such a search poses for humanity, as it may favor any arrival of aliens with technology that is advanced and dubious intentions.

Gabriel G. De la Torre, a professor at the University of Cadiz, has analyzed the sociological and ethical implications of the proposal to send out a signal telling alien lifeforms where Earth and humans are located. He asked if a decision such as this could be taken on behalf of the planet. He went on to ask what might happen if it was a success and alien life did receive the signal, would the people on Earth be ready for contact.

STUDY REVEALED HUMANS ARE NOT READY FOR CONTACT WITH ALIENS

The professor wrote and sent out a questionnaire to 116 university students of American, Spanish and Italian origin. The survey looked into their knowledge of astronomy along with levels of perception of the physical environment, the opinions of the place that things occupy in the cosmos along with religious questions. One question posed asked whether the students believed that God had in fact created the universe and the likelihood that humans could contract alien lifeforms.

The results, published in the journal ‘Acta Astronautica’, from the study suggested that humans are not ready to contact an extra-terrestrial civilization as they lack knowledge along with being unprepared. Due to this SETI researchers have been recommended to look for different strategies.

“This pilot study demonstrates that the knowledge of the general public of a certain education level about the cosmos and our place within it is still poor. Therefore, a cosmic awareness must be further promoted – where our mind is increasingly conscious of the global reality that surrounds us – using the best tool available to us: education,” De la Torre emphasised. ”In this respect, we need a new Galileo to lead this journey”.

It was said that the pilot study had shown that the general public’s knowledge of a certain education level when it came to the cosmos and the place of humans within it, was poor. Cosmic awareness needs to be promoted further where the human mind is conscious of the global reality that is surrounding us, using the best tool that is available, which is education De la Torre said.

It was found from the questions asked, which are going to be made available for everyone on the internet, that university students along with the rest of society, on the whole, lacks awareness about astronomical aspects, despite the progress of technology and science of today. It was said that many people think about the subjects based on religious beliefs and they may reply on politicians if there was a big crisis on a global scale that needed resolving.

So it does look like the people on Earth are not ready to welcome alien civilizations with open arms, even if SETI were to find them.

Take a look at pictures from some of India’s most iconic UFO sightings

Over the Taj Mahal, along a coastal road, in Ladakh - India has a dramatic and much-debated history of Unidentified Flying Objects.

Over the Taj Mahal, along a coastal road, in Ladakh - India has a dramatic and much-debated history of Unidentified Flying Objects. Here’re some eerie examples:

The unidentified object spotted in Banswara, Rajasthan, in 2008. Eight locals reported seeing an unfamiliar craft in the afternoon sky. They described the UFO as a hat-shaped object with a bright underlight.

A photograph taken in Kannur, Kerala, by Divya Sebastian and army officer Major Sebastian Zachariah, while on vacation.

In 1964, Billy Meier – one of the world’s most infamous UFO researchers – travelled to India and shot a series of photographs that allegedly show UFOs over Delhi’s skies. Above are three of them.

Technology is now aiding the search for answers. Some ufologists are using satellite imagery, apps and online tools to zero in on odd phenomena, such as these ‘urban crop circles’ in Tirrupur, Tamil Nadu.

  The truth is out there: Tales from India’s UFO investigators

So, have you ever seen a UFO?

The truth is out there: Tales from India’s UFO investigators

Lights in the sky, levitating beings, hard science vs conjecture: Meet the guys trying to sift the crazies from the true witnesses in their search for unidentified flying objects.

(HT Illustration: Sri Krishna Patkar)

I. Midnight Special

At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world slept, Sunita Yadav awoke to a levitating alien.

She watched, petrified, as it hovered a foot above the ground just behind her home. Standing over 4ft tall, with grey skin and big, black eyes, it proceeded from the Yadavs’ backyard toward their front door before – as her son Hitesh remembers – it “just vanished”.

In the 15 years since, the humanoid has made numerous other appearances around the Western Command Hospital in Panchkula, some 10 km away from Chandigarh.

“It’s now a mascot. Residents in the area believe it’s lucky to spot it,” says Hitesh, 20, now a tech student living in Gurgaon.

In their sketch, the alien looks like a swarthy dwarf. But Hitesh remains convinced that what he saw was an extraterrestrial. And he spends much of his free time trying to prove it.

Hitesh runs the free bi-monthly e-zine UFO Magazine India, is developer of the Ufology App and founder of Disclosure Team India, which investigates UFO sightings and encounters in the country.

“Disclosure has grown to 200 members since it was set up in January 2016, including 22 from the US and UK,” he says. The website has a form where people can report their sightings in detail.

This form has been filled four times. “But our investigators hear many stories from locals on the ground,” he stresses.

“I’m currently researching an alien abductee case in Chhattisgarh,” Hitesh says. “I don’t care what people think, because my parents and sister are accepting. But my relatives don’t know what I do. If they did, they’d surely call me crazy.”

Hitesh Yadav, 20, is a tech student at a Gurgaon college. He believes he saw an alien as a child. In his free time, he runs the free e-zine UFO Magazine India. He is also the founder of Disclosure Team India, which investigates UFO sightings and encounters in the country. They currently have four cases under investigation.

II. Arrival

In the inaugural March issue of UFO Magazine India, columnist Ramkrishan Vaishnav deconstructs the Drake equation proposed by American astrophysicist Frank Drake, a mathematical formula used to estimate the number of detectable extraterrestrials (ETs) in the Milky Way.

“I’m a UFOlogist because I’m a scientist. Even the Indian military has reported sightings,” says the 27-year-old entrepreneur from Nagaur, Rajasthan. “We know little about what lies beyond our own solar system. Why dismiss possibilities altogether?”

In his teens (and with The X-Files etched in his psyche), Vaishnav signed up to help create 3D maps for NASA’s moon missions, analyse asteroid samples for The Planetary Society, and study radio data for the SETI@Home project, the UC Berkeley offshoot of SETI or Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute.

But his turning point was March 2008. Just two months after he’d set up TOP (The Other Planet) Research Group to investigate UFO sightings, Vaishnav heard of a sighting in Banswara village, where eight locals reported seeing an unfamiliar craft in the afternoon sky.

Six days later, Vaishnav was there. “The villagers described the UFO as a hat-shaped object with a bright underlight. We also found an odd-shaped stone that looked like nothing else in the radius we scanned. Image evidence of this encounter is the best you’ll find in India,” he says.

Vaishnav is now founder of ExpeTechnologies and Shakti Innovative Products. He has filed four patents: for a solar satellite plant, non-conventional wireless mobile charging, touchscreen technology, and a next-gen user-interface system.

Tech research is his bread and butter, but ufology remains his Danish pastry.

“I’m intrigued by why many sightings are from Rajasthan and West Bengal. And the Kongka Pass in Ladakh,” he muses. “It’s also a remote military base, so you never know.

III. Signs

On October 26, 2014, at 4.55 am, a man looks out of the window in Thane and sees a horizontal row of red, yellow and green lights that blink but remain stationary for several minutes, then disappear. He records footage on his cellphone.

On November 7, 2014, a fast-moving object is captured hovering over Bengaluru, framed against a full moon. It stays there for nearly an hour, then disappears as suddenly as it appeared.

These cases are among 60 sightings in 2014 that were assigned to Kumaresan Ramanathan after he joined Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).

Ramanathan is a senior technical engineer with a Chennai-based IT firm who blogs as alienseeker on Wordpress. In 2012, he became India’s first ‘certified UFO investigator’ under MUFON, the largest non-profit investigating UFOs, with 3,000 members worldwide.

Pushkar Vaidya is an astrobiologist and founder of the Indian Astrobiology Research Centre in Mumbai, which studies the origin, forms and future of life in the universe.

“As they say in The X-Files: ‘I wanted to believe, but the tools have been taken away’.” —Pushkar Vaidya

“MUFON employs scientific methods, not conjecture,” says the 36-year-old. “You have to renew your membership and purchase manuals every year, then take an exam and score at least 80% to become a qualified investigator.”

The test is a mix of objective and multiple choice questions, spanning subjects such as how to interact with eyewitnesses and the plan of action if a witness claims to have an encounter. “They present hypothetical situations to gauge if you’d make for a good investigator,” Ramanathan explains. “All tests are examined at the MUFON headquarters in Newport Beach, California. If you make the cut, you’re given an ID and certificate proclaiming you’re licensed.”

But it’s not all love and sunshine. “Of every 100 cases, about 97 end up being fake — optical illusions, doctored images, or everyday objects mistakenly identified as otherwise,” he admits. “This teaches you discernment.”

Now an independent ufologist after working with MUFON for two years, Ramanathan will visit Aniketty, near Coimbatore, to study a spurt of unexplained objects reported since 2011.

“My family always supported me,” he replies, when asked what people make of his ‘other job’. “Some collegians called me Jaadu for devoting so much time to ufology. But who cares about acquaintances?”

IV. The Fifth Element

At 8.28 p.m. on December 15, 1987, six-year-old Kamal Pant stood on the terrace of his Dehradun home and observed a large, red light soaring directly overhead.

“No, it wasn’t a plane, helicopter, or prank,” he says, before you’ve asked the question. “Whatever it was stayed there a while and made no sound.”

The incident would spur the self-professed ‘sky watcher’ and fan of Star Trek, The X-Files, mythology, and conspiracy theories to scour the internet for all things UFO and ET. Then in 2014, he photographed and filmed what he claims is “a mothership taking off from and landing on the moon.” From thereon, Pant goes full steam ahead.

“I even mailed NASA about it, but didn’t hear from them. Until a month later, when I got an email from someone in Houston asking me to ‘stay away’,” he claims.

“Do you have this email, or a snapshot of it?”

“No. My system got corrupt a day later, and some of my videos vanished. My computer had been tampered with.”

IT engineer Kumaresan Ramanathan says some of his colleagues called him Jaadu, after the alien in the Hindi film Koi... Mil Gaya, but he doesn’t care.

ON THE JOB WITH A UFO INVESTIGATOR

• The first thing to do when you receive a report about a UFO sighting is rule out what’s explainable, says Kumaresan Ramanathan, who has served as chief investigator with MUFON (India).
• “Phenomena like strange lights are more explainable than not. These can be caused by anything from crackers to iridium flares caused by moving satellites.”
• Online tools like FlightRadar and Heavens-Above can help determine if there was a passing craft or astronomical occurrence in the area at the time of the sighting.
• Interviews with eyewitnesses are generally conducted via email or over the phone. “Only sightings that are compelling require us to go on site,” Ramanathan says.
• What tools does a UFO investigator use? Hitesh Yadav, who is self-trained, lists a film camera, compass, telescope, tape recorder, electromagnetic field or EMF sensor, Geiger counter (for radiation), scintillation counter (for ionising radiation), and Plaster of Paris to make moulds in case impressions are found!

Pant, a computer science lecturer at a private university in Dehradun, is what naysayers would call a tinfoil hatter (conspiracy theorist). He believes NASA and the US are involved in a cover-up, and that alien technology was obtained from the Roswell crash. He also claims to have CE-5 communication with ETs – that is, telepathic communication between himself and aliens.

“My mother and wife have seen everything and know I’m not lying,” Pant says. “Distant relatives call me sanki (madcap), but it doesn’t affect me.”

The 36-year-old father of a toddler, who works with both Disclosure and TOP Research Group, is currently looking into sightings in Ranichauri village, Tehri-Garhwal district. “The events are so common, locals call the beings pariyaan (fairies). They also tell their children not to step out after dark lest they be taken away.”

His colleagues at the university, Pant says, have no qualms with his interests and theories. And even if they did, he wouldn’t break into a sweat.

“Every time I look at the sky, I feel like something, and someone, wants to communicate with me,” he shares. “No one can take that away from me.”

V. 2001: A Space Odyssey

Pushkar Vaidya likes his coffee cold and his feuds hot.

From 2007 to 2015, the astrobiologist was embroiled in a scientific tug of war with astrophysicist and author Jayant Narlikar. The bone of contention: Narlikar’s hypotheses supporting panspermia – the theory that life exists throughout the universe and is distributed through asteroids, comets, and meteoroids. In short: life on earth may have come from external sources.

A truce was eventually called when Vaidya founded the Indian Astrobiology Research Centre (IARC) in Mumbai, for which Narlikar now serves as mentor.

“I’m open to the possibility of ET microbial or intelligent life. I just didn’t think there was enough evidence,” says Vaidya. “If anything, panspermia research is one of IARC’s focus areas.”

Vaidya is no ufologist. The 36-year-old straddles the no-man’s land between belief and scepticism. His bond with Arthur C. Clarke, one of the world’s most prolific sci-fi authors, has much to do with it.

“When I was 16 and studying in Sri Lanka, I wrote In Search of Aliens. Arthur Clarke lived in Colombo and as an ardent fan, I went to his home because I wanted him to pen the foreword to my book,” he laughs. “He didn’t write it, but that kicked off a two-year association.”

Vaidya credits Clarke for bringing wonderment and adventure to science. “Science is now increasingly taking on a tone of finality, especially when it comes to the search for alien life,” he feels.

But he also throws the gauntlet to ufologists.

“The UFO phenomenon is real from a research perspective. The problem is how people go about it. If you look at everything as alien, you’re better calling yourself a flying saucer investigator,” he reasons.

A long discussion touches upon everything from cattle mutilations to the Kardashev Scale, which hypothesises that the most intelligent civilisations can harness energies on a galactic – even cosmic – scale to partake in astral travel.

There’s a lot Pushkar Vaidya believes in. What he’s waiting for is substantiation.

“As they say in The X-Files: ‘I wanted to believe, but the tools have been taken away’,” he smiles.

EARTH AND SPACE NEWS / YOUTUBE

Almost every day, new UFO images and videos are posted all over the Internet for everyone to see. Here’s one that, at first glance, may have you believing a fleet of otherworldly orbs were captured on video, maneuvering in wild patterns somewhere near Honolulu, Hawaii.

At least that’s what it looks like in the following video, posted on Oct. 21, 2015, by YouTube channel Earth & Space News. The UFOs — for lack of a better word at the moment — are seen hovering, moving rapidly, darting back and forth, merging with each other, blinking in and out in unison. That’s more than you normally get in a UFO video.

While this may appear to be incredible footage of strange lights in the sky, there are some credibility questions here.

First, the identity of the alleged videographer or the exact date and time of the video are not revealed. No information is offered that could help any research effort to learn more about this incident. But the video itself is riddled with visual problems.

“I would say this is definitely CGI [computer-generated imagery],” according to Ben Hansen, the former lead investigator of Syfy Channel’s “Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files.”

Hansen points out several segments of the video that have reliability issues.

“At :26 in, the orb on the far left takes a short jog back and forth that didn’t look like it was intended. This happens throughout the video. It looks like evidence of poor anchoring of the object to a fixed reference point,” Hansen told HuffPost in an email.

“They do an OK job with tracking the animation layer over the background, but I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the video was also filmed off a projected screen of some sort to give the impression of zooming in and out with a handheld camera.”

And what about all those moments when the alleged UFOs appear to suddenly blink out and then come right back, sometimes doing it simultaneously?

“The fact that the blinking lights usually all go out at the same time might indicate a laziness in editing,” Hansen, an ex-FBI special agent, suggests. “It’s much easier to turn off a whole animation layer than it is to take the time to individually adjust each light to fade in and out.”

And there were weird interactions between the “orbs” and some clouds.

“They had some problems with clouds and rotoscoping (telling the software what objects to treat as separate layers). At 4:50, an orb is traveling upward through the cloud. It disappears through the edge of it as if it was behind the cloud. Yet, it then travels straight down, and now it’s on top of the cloud. They either forgot it was supposed to travel behind it, or they just got lazy and didn’t think it would be noticed.”

Another visual problem occurs with the clouds. If you watch closely, you’ll notice how (around the 6:20 mark), as the horizon sometimes bounces up and down, from camera movement, the clouds above it stay in the same place. Shouldn’t they bounce as well?

One final issue should at least be mentioned. The following double image shows an identical moment from the video, with one interesting difference: The image on the left was posted by Earth & Space News on Oct. 21 of this year. The right side picture comes from another YouTube channel, FindingUFO, which posted a shortened version of the entire video on March 14, 2013.

EARTH AND SPACE NEWS (LEFT) FINDINGUFO (RIGHT)

While the YouTube channels offered the same video more than two-and-a-half years apart, they both neglected to provide any extra identifying information about its origin.

Don’t believe every UFO image or video you see.

British witness photographs sphere UFOs following jet

by David Aragorn

A witness in London had taken photos of a UFO that seemed to have been tailing a commercial airline.

A British witness at London reported watching and photographing multiple objects that appeared to be following an aircraft, according to testimony in Case 82822 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was in the Fulham section of London walking to a café when the incident occurred.

“I looked up and saw a star-like object about seven aircraft widths to the left of the passenger aircraft,” the witness stated.“Then noticed several lights to the right of the aircraft. As I looked up: about 7, 12 and 15 aircraft widths to the right. They followed the aircraft and continued to follow it, keeping the same relative distance, as it banked gently toward a more northerly path.”

The witness first thought the objects were balloons.

“At first I thought they were balloons reflecting bright sunlight. I’ve seen some rarely. But these lights remained at a constant speed, had a smooth direction and all turned relative to each other, and at same distance from each other. Also, they seemed to emit a constant light and not reflect it, whereas balloons change intensity as they tilt relative to me/observer and the sun. The aircraft wasn’t landing at a London airport, those are only a few thousand feet above observer-point and the aircraft had a vapor trail and I should imagine it was over 15-20,000 feet above me. Aircraft and light were obscured by city housing then.”

Will sending selfies to Jupiter moon get the attention of an E.T.?

LOUIS SAHAGUN

Gina Ferazzi/Los Angeles Times

A long camera exposure captures guests staring at twinkling stars and a giant laser beam pointing to Europa, Jupiter's moon.

Emcee Tom O'Key seemed giddy as dozens of guests filed into an outdoor theatre in this Mojave Desert town on a recent Saturday night to learn about an icy moon of Jupiter and take a stab at connecting with whatever - or whomever - may be living there.

"We're sending selfies to Europa here tonight, folks," O'Key told those who had gathered in the Joshua Tree Astronomy Arts Theater. "Take a moment to reach out to the cosmos and say, 'We here on Earth care.'"

Sponsored by the Southern California Desert Video Astronomers, the public program featured a documentary, 3-D holographic projections, views through telescopes and what was believed to be the first opportunity to send video selfies to a moon of Jupiter that NASA scientists have identified as one of the likeliest homes of extraterrestrial life in our solar system.

Gina Ferazzi/Los Angeles Times

Zerrin Leckey, 9, sends a selfie message to Europa using a device designed to convert audio and visual images into flashes of laser light aimed at the moon.

Zerrin Leckey, 9, was among the first to take a few deep breaths, smile, then speak into the lens of a video camera connected to a device that converts audio and visual images into flashes of laser aimed at the moon - only 37 minutes away at light speed.

"Hi, Europa!" he said. "This is Zerrin on Earth. I'm turning 10."

Next up was Jean Mueller, 67, a retired telescope operator at the Palomar Observatory who has discovered more than 30 comets.

"I photographed everything in the sky except you, Europa," she said. "Now, I'm talking to you in person, and that's pretty nice."

Gina Ferazzi/Los Angeles Times

Guests line up near the ticket booth to enter the outdoor Astronomy Arts Theater for "Europa is Alive!"

The casual tone of these pioneering attempts at intergalactic communication was fine with O'Key, who didn't hesitate to note the limits of the technology in the astronomy club's "Europa is Alive!" event or "the giggle factor involved in all this."

It was O'Key, 63, a retired technical consultant in personal injury litigation cases, and Leonard Holmberg, 62, a retired developer of optics-based products, who put together the selfie-sender: "An instrument comprised of a video camera, a laptop computer, fiber-optics technology and a yellow laser that cost us about $400," O'Key said.

"We like to think we're bringing extraterrestrial adventure to everyday people," he said.

Scientists have been searching the skies for signs of alien civilisations for decades, mostly based on the premise that they, like us, would use bursts of radio and laser light.

"Of course, we'd need the power of the sun to generate a coherent beam strong enough to hit Europa," Holmberg said. "But at least some of the photons in the transmissions we're sending are reaching their target. No doubt about it."

The project, Holmberg said, suggests how far technology has advanced since charismatic physicist Carl Sagan popularized the possibility of making contact with extraterrestrial life.

Sagan led a team that developed communications materials that were aboard the Voyager 1 and 2 space probes launched in 1977 to make drive-by visits to planets in this solar system and then continue on to explore space. The packages included images of a nude man and woman and musical samplings, including Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode."

O'Key and Holmberg consider themselves "Saganites," inspired by NASA's recent announcement that Europa and Saturn's moon, Enceladus, harbor all the ingredients needed for life to evolve: heat, organic material and vast oceans of water capped by ice.

"What they're doing is fine with me," said Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the nonprofit Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute based in Mountain View, Calif. "But it's fair to say we don't know if aliens are friendly, or if they even exist. If they do, will they be cute and cuddly like the one in the movie 'E.T.,' or will they be like the Kardashians?

"In that case," he continued, "we should keep a low profile. You don't want your tombstone to read: I'm responsible for the obliteration of the human race."

Scientists have been searching the skies for signs of alien civilisations for decades, mostly based on the premise that they, like us, would use bursts of radio and laser light we might be able to hear or see.

The SETI Institute runs an array of radio telescopes designed to act as an enormous ear capable of scanning more than a million stars over 10 billion radio frequencies. It still has not detected any signal produced by someone else out there.

The Mars lander Phoenix, launched in 2007, carried recorded greetings. A year later, NASA beamed the Beatles' "Across the Universe" at the North Star, Polaris.

UFO experts spot 'huge spaceship' in the sky with flashing lights above France, China and Australia

Bright lights and a flying "cigar shaped" object captured in the footage have led to theories it could be a UFO

BY DANYA BAZARAA

UFO experts believe glowing objects spotted in the sky above France, China and Australia could be a huge spaceship.

Footage recorded in France, possibly near Paris, shows bright lights in the sky and a "cigar shaped" flashing object.

Tyler, speaking on Secureteam10 , a channel reporting sightings and unusual activity in space, claims these "mind[blowing" lights are UFOs.

In the intriguing footage, he said a very similar UFO had been spotted years before.

A reported UFO sighting back in 2010 over an airport in China, prompted it to temporarily shut down.

A previous ABC news report claimed the strange sighting caused the Xiaoshan Airport to "stop operations" on July 7 that year.

The news report says that outbound flights were grounded after an " unidentified flying object " was detected.

The incident captured the attention of Chinese media at the time, and people shared photos of flying objects emitting rays of red and white lights.

But what the object was remained a mystery.

Tyler compares high resolution photos to show the similarities between the latest so-called UFO sighting in France with the sightings seven years ago in China.

He also claims a similar UFO sighting was captured over the Gold Coast, Australia.

Californians believe the truth is out there: New book says the state is the the UFO capital of America with almost 16,000 sightings from 2001-2015

• Book gathered data from two popular UFO sighting websites
• Authors discovered there were  121,036 eyewitness reports from 2001 to 2015
• Also found 15,836 sightings were in California  and mostly from the Bay Area

By Stacy Liberatore For Dailymail.com

Californians have reported more close encounters with the third kind than any other state in the US, new research has shown.

A recently published book found that of the more than 120,000 reports of unidentified objects seen from 2001 to 2015, 16,000 of the sightings originated in the The Golden State.

The authors of the book 'UFO Sightings Desk Reference', have suggested that the warm weather could have something to do with it – people spend more time outside, which provides them with more chances to spot a UFO.

A recently published book has revealed that out of more than 120,000 reports of unidentified objects seen from 2001 to 2015, 16,000 of the sightings originated in the The Golden. Pictured is an alien rock sculpture built in Romoland, California

'Since 1969 the government has claimed no interest in the subject, and the press and media either ignore or ridicule any mention of UFOs,' reads the book's synopsis.

'Yet citizen scientists and non-governmental organizations have continued to this day the research into this important subject: this book seeks to make the hardest data available accessible to the general public, as well as other UFO researchers.'

Although California reigns supreme in sightings, the book highlights that people have claimed to have spotted 'alien spacecraft' all over the US.

'We found that UFOs were sighted in every county in the United States,' explained 'UFO Sightings Desk Reference' co-author Cheryl Costa, who is a former military technician and aerospace analyst, told CBS in an interview.

'Every county had at least one sighting sometime in the past 15 years.'

'We think a great deal of it has to do with California's weather,' said Costa.

Costa explained that people spend a lot of time outdoors because of the mild climate, which gives them more opportunities to see 'UFOs'.

From 2001 to 2015, Californians reported 15,836 sightings and a majority of them were in the Bay Area: 159 in Marin County, 327 in San Francisco County, 188 in San Mateoo County, 518 in Alameda County and 569 in Santa Clara County

But the Navy issued a statement revealing they had conducted two missile tests off the coast of California early that Tuesday morning, ABC reported.

Videos of the missile test, many of which were filmed on the road, show a bright point in the sky with a beam of light radiating below it.

In one video, a woman could be heard exclaiming 'It's E.T!' while others took to social media to declare they had seen an alien spaceship.

But the Navy issued a statement saying two Trident II D-5 missile test flights were launched at sea at 3.30am PST and 6.20am, CBS reported.

All missile test flights were conducted from sea, flew over the sea, and landed in the sea. At no time did the missiles fly over land,' the statement said.

'All missiles are tracked from multiple sources from launch until final impact in the ocean. The missiles were not armed.'

Costa and her wife Linda Miller Costa, who is a librarian at Le Moyne College and a former librarian at the National Academy of Sciences, NASA and the Environmental Protection Agency, and she also co-wrote UFO Sightings Desk Reference, gathered data from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) and the National UFO Reporting Center for the book – both sites let users share their alleged extraterrestrial sightings.

The book is a collection of incidents from real witnesses who claimed the truth is out there and the duo has added research to back up their beliefs.

The authors of the book 'UFO Sightings Desk Reference', have suggested that the warm weather could have something to do with it – people spend more time outside, which provides them with more chances to spot a UFO.

From 2001 to 2015, Californians reported 15,836 sightings and a majority of them were in the Bay Area: 159 in Marin County, 327 in San Francisco County, 188 in San Mateoo County, 518 in Alameda County and 569 in Santa Clara County.

In New York County, the authors reported 426 sightings from 2001 to 2015, which came second to Suffolk County with 554, The NY Times reported.

Interestingly enough, The District of Columbia was found to have 154 incidents and Wyoming, which only has 5.8 people per square mile, had 337.

And some of the sightings were not UFOs but fireballs falling from the sky, which made up nearly 8 percent of Indiana's 230 sightings and less than 5 percent of Colorado's 157.

But the duo found that Los Angeles County in California had more sightings than 40 other US states combined. 

Altogether, the Costas collected '121,036 eyewitness reports from the two combined national data bases,' they wrote in the book.
