More Time Wasted with National Geographic's "Chasing UFOs"

by Robert Sheaffer

While at the two recent conferences in Reno and Las Vegas (see the previous Blog entry), I had occasion to explain to several people that the latest turd-TV offering from the National Geographic Channel, Chasing UFOs, had succeeded in doing something that never has been done before: UFO proponents and UFO skeptics all agree that the show is absurd, a travesty of "UFO investigation" that makes everyone look bad. Indeed, some UFO proponents think that because the show is so bad, it must be a government plot  to embarass UFO researchers!  Hard-core UFO proponent Robert Hastings quite appropriately says the show is "investigation as farce."  He says that its "entertainment-based formula may best be described as Blair Witch Project meets Inspector Clouseau. If the show’s producers are not secretly in cahoots with some intelligence agency to make legitimate UFO research look bad, by association, they have certainly achieved that outcome inadvertently."

was the UFO a spider web reflection?

Episode 3, "Alien Cowboys," is set in Colorado, where they begin by investigating the Tim Edwards UFO video of 1995.  The Chasers are suitably impressed by this video. So far as I know there has been no skeptical investigation of this video. Bruce Maccabee analyzed it, but came to no conclusions about what it is. "Abovetopsecret" user ALLisONE posted a photo comparing the "UFO" in Edwards' video to the sun's reflection on a spider-thread, and so far that's the best explanation I have seen. The changing shape and size of the object certainly suggests a reflection. The smaller white objects (baby UFOs?) are suggested by some to be insects, but to me they look like little dandelion "puffs", small seed packets being scattered in the wind.

They meet with Chuck Zukowski, who investigates alleged "cattle mutilations." I heard Zukowski speak at the International UFO Congress in February, and posted the following in a Blog entry of February 22:

The sessions began Wednesday morning with Chuck Zukowski talking about the joy of slicing up dead cattle that the aliens have already sliced and diced - that way, he can study their handiwork. He showed some gruesome photos, adding that he always brings his three kids when he investigates a mutilation, so that they can help out. He claims to sometimes detect substantial EMF fields emanating from mutilated cows, and speculates that it is a residual field from some alien device. I am wondering why the field does not dissipate away at the speed of light.

Zukowski explained that his website is www.ufonut.com, because this is what people call him. He said that mutilations seem to follow the cattle of certain ranchers, even if the rancher moves. I would think that what follows a rancher is the propensity to attribute slightly unusual predation patterns to extraterrestrials. He has discovered that mutilations and paranormal events are most common at 37 degrees north latitude, creating a belt of weird stuff running clear across the country. In the Q&A session, the question came up as to whether the aliens might be abducting cattle to create a race of "hybrid fetuses." Chuck thought that might be true. Can this be the explanation for the aliens' bizarre obsession with the nether parts of cattle - the creation of an alien/cattle hybrid? Now that truly bends the mind!

Somehow to me the image of Zukowski's three children romping about while he pores over a mutilated cow seemed delightfully surreal, but Chuck assures us in a comment below that his children are young adults, so their presence is surely more understandable. Soon it's time for the three Chasers, plus Zukowski, to put on the "prosthetic devices" and stumble around in the dark looking for mutilated cows, since it's obviously easier to find dead cows at night than when the sun is out. But just as they discover a herd of live cows from its infrared signature (guys, a dead cow won't radiate heat!), another near-encounter with a wild animal, this time a mountain lion, sends them scrambling back with no alien evidence.

They next visit UFO raconteur Stan Romanek, one of the least-credible persons in all UFOlogy. At this year's International UFO Congress I heard Romank deliver one of the most ridiculous talks on UFOs I'd ever heard. I posted:

Stan is the guy who became famous when he posted to YouTube a video of an alien peeping in his window. Soon others were posting alien Peeping Tom videos of their own, many of them better than Romanek's. He told about how he started to have sightings of UFOs a few years back, and soon they were following him around. Before long, big-headed aliens are playing peek-a-boo in the windows of his home. Then the ETs were replaced by as many as nine alien hybrid little girls, who intrude upon his telephone calls, and also play now-you-see-me-now-you-don't. One of them is Lisa's daughter from a previous UFO abduction. Stan gets a few not-quite-clear photos of strange-looking little girls, whose images probably have been Photoshopped to give them ET features.

Stan injured himself falling off a ladder, and was going to get corrective surgery. However, before the operation he was abducted by ETs, and his injury was miraculously healed, to the astonishment of his doctor. Before finishing his talk, he mentioned in passing that someone had anonymously mailed him actual photos of the true Roswell crash debris, and he flashed them tantalizingly on the screen. Stan Romanek is a one-man paranormal factory, and I suspect these wild claims will just keep piling up for many years.

Afterward while Romanek was at his table in the vendors' room (he and his wife now have three books of wild UFO claims), I introduced myself to him, and gave him my "Bad UFOs" card. I asked him why the aliens were following him around. We chatted very briefly when somebody (probably his wife) must have whispered, "don't talk to that guy." Suddenly it was, "I can't talk to you. You just bad-mouth people. Go away." I attempted to get a photo of him and his wife (others were doing so), but he turned his face away from me (how I regret not getting that image of Romanek avoiding the camera!). He said he'd have his lawyer sue me if I took a photo; I replied that was ridiculous, since he was a public figure in a public forum. So much for "UFO research!"

You guessed it: Romanek joins the UFO Chasers in their special Dark-Exploration Suits, and they stumble around not some desolate place, but in the suburban neighborhood where Romanek lives, looking for Extraterrestrials. I'm surprised they didn't have an Encounter with an ice cream truck. They don't find any ETs, but Ben spooks James by replicating the "peeping Tom alien" video, lying on the ground and holding up an alien mask.

The Roswell extraterrestrial tin can

In Episode 4, "UFO Landing Zone?", the UFO Chasers jump into "a race to investigate these [crash] claims." Well, it's only been 65 years since whatever it was happened at Roswell, so you'd better jump in before the trail grows cold. They stumble around in the dark, as usual, and get all excited over finding a piece of scrap metal, which only at the end is revealed to be "tin." Saucer debris, or the remains of some ranch hand's long-ago lunch? They also breathlessly find a military button, later identified as belonging to the U.S. Air Force. Too bad that the Air Force did not exist as a service until Sept. 18, 1947, more than two months after Roswell, and thus the button could not possibly have anything to do with any operation carried out in July of 1947. Roswell proponent Kevin Randle adds this about the button:

It seemed to be too good. The button I used for the photograph had not been buried, but only exposed to the open air for a couple of decades. It is tarnished to a bronze color. The button they found seemed to be nearly pristine. I would expect that if it had been buried for any length of time it would have degraded more than my button that had not.

The nearly-pristine post-Roswell Air Force Button

What this tells me is that the National Geographic has gone the same way as the Arts and Entertainment Channel, Bravo, History Channel and a couple of others....The point is that National Geographic is now more about ratings than research. It is about audience share and entertainment and not about finding the truth, whatever that truth might be. It is about superficial research that avoids asking the difficult questions or asking those who might actually have an answer.

 Exactly right. Randle also checked with the White Sands Missile Range about the supposed UFO crash video presented by Ted Loman that we see repeated over and over, research that The UFO Chasers could not bother to do. He was told that it was part of “an infrared shot of a Navy missile test." Case Closed, but by Randle, not by The UFO Chasers. 


And yet at this very moment another TV production company is seeking to cast "a new docuseries following Alien and UFO Researchers and Investigators. The show would be similar in concept to Ghost Hunters -- except with UFO and Alien findings." They explain, "We are looking to follow an existing team of Investigators," not even realizing that there is no such thing. Are they doing this because they believe Chasing UFOs to be a great show, or will they do a decent job of investigating UFO claims? I'd like to be optimistic about the show, but as a realist I'd have to say that the odds are against it.

Notorious ‘Area 51′ book being adapted for television

Jason McClellan | Jul 27, 2012

AMC has ordered a pilot episode for a scripted dramatic television series about the secretive military installation in Nevada known as Area 51. And the basis for this show will be Annie Jacobsen’s book Area 51, an uncensored history of America’s TOP SECRET military base.

Area 51 book cover. (Credit: Little, Brown and Company)

Jacobsen reportedly interviewed more than nineteen men who worked at Area 51 for her book that “explores the myths about the area and those who believe that region is home to aliens, underground tunnel systems and nuclear facilities, according to the Hollywood Reporter. This book, published in May 2011, met with harsh criticism because of many questionable assertions made by Jacobsen. Most notably was the inclusion of an explanation for what crashed near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. She claims an anonymous witness informed her that the craft recovered at Roswell was actually an advanced German aircraft, and that the bodies recovered from the crash were children that had been mutilated by infamous Nazi doctor Josef Mengele. This craft was allegedly ordered over the U.S. by Joseph Stalin, hoping to trick Americans into thinking it was an extraterrestrial spacecraft, which would result in a mass panic similar to the one caused by the 1938 radio broadcast of H.G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds. Many doubt the veracity of this Roswell story, including ABC reporter Bill Weir. Weir also interviewed this anonymous witness, but says the witness asserts he did not make all of the claims laid out in the book. The former Area 51 employees interviewed by Jacobsen have also stated how they feel betrayed, and they feel that certain fictitious elements, including the Roswell story, were added to bolster book sales.

The controversy surrounding Jacobsen and her book doesn’t seem to bother AMC, however, and the cable network has even tapped Jacobsen to serve as a co-producer of the show. Walking Dead executive producer Gale Anne Hurd will reportedly executive produce, and Todd E. Kessler (The Good Wife) will create the script.

The Hollywood Reporter describes that Area 51, the show, “will take place in the 1950s-1960s and will focus on those who work at the base and protect the country’s secrets — including the remains of the alleged alien crash at Roswell.”

Although it has been less than a decade since the government acknowledged the existence of Area 51, there is already a wealth of information provided by former base workers about the base itself, and about formerly top-secret projects that took place there. Many former workers have shared their stories with the National Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas, Nevada. With this information, the museum opened an Area 51 exhibit this year titled Area 51: Myth or Reality? Perhaps a wiser decision for AMC would have been to work with the National Atomic Testing Museum, a Smithsonian-affiliated museum, rather than with the author of such a controversial book.

In special reports, this weeks files cover: UFO Hit by Plane Spray Dives under Water,

The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force. Under Project Blue Book, the US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years; and we continue this research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO's are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Special Reports

UFO Hit by Plane Spray Dives Under Water

UFO Casebook reports a video shows a UFO being hit by the spray of a plane. The UFO dives down and hits the water, seemingly going under.
This was filmed in the Gulf of Mexico when the oil spill was present. After reviewing the film again, the UFO seems to be underwater. It looks like the UFO was hit by the spray purposelessly by the pilot.
Listen carefully for the speaker. He said, "Ability to accurately hit the target."
This may be out of context, but it sounds pretty crazy, doesn't it?"This remains a mystery but YOU may be able to solve it. The video has been edited by www.UFOcasebook.com.

(Editor's Note: My hearing is not what it used to be, at least according to my wife, but when I heard the phrase: "ability to accurately hit the target," I don't think it was relating to a UFO. Originally published on Jun 30, 2012 by RealLifeAlienVideos)

Aliens and UFO's are Very Important

Each month more than a thousand UFOs are reported indicating aliens and their UFOs may be the most important topic of our time. We have evidence that they have crashed in Russia, China and the US and probably other countries. Ben Rich and others claim we have back engineered the craft and we can look at drawings of the Roswell craft and see similarities to our newest aircraft. Apparently, we attempted to shoot down the UFOs and may still be intercepting them in space, and trying to discourage them from entering our atmosphere. Fortunately, we apparently have some alien allies who are helping us.

Abductees and contactees frequently report the aliens are concerned about our environmental failures particularly our nuclear weapons and power stations. We are killing off thousands of species, which had the right to live. We are being warned that our carelessness could bring the planet to ruin and make it uninhabitable. The warning is that planet Earth is too valuable for humans to be allowed to continue destroy the environment.

The tsunami that struck northeastern Japan in March 2011and its resulting destruction may be our final warning. Cronyism has been widely blamed for contributing to the meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant operated by Tokyo Electric Power Co.

In a scathing investigation commissioned by parliament, a panel concluded: "The Tepco Fukushima nuclear-power-plant accident was the result of collusion between the government, the regulators and Tepco."

(Workers remove nuclear fuel for the first since last years earthquake.)

On June 20, the Japanese Parliament gave the government three months to set up a new body, with five board members and a supporting staff, to take over the lead regulatory duties from the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, which was part of the same ministry that heads nuclear-power promotion.

Fukushima has the potential even now to create millions of deaths worldwide. The photo shows the first removal of fuel rods. We do not have a spare planet to escape to. Mars will take a great deal of work to upgrade for humans to live there in large numbers.

UFOs in the Bible

Patrick Cooke has written, "The Greatest Deception" the result of extensive research into the connections between descriptions of technology in the Bible and ancient writings. He explains the UFO phenomenon in world history, and the anomalous evidence from ancient civilizations, and the complete cover-up of these realities by the governments, church, and the world in general. This research organized thousands of biblical verses into categories revealing clear descriptions of flying vehicles, their flight characteristics, the amazing beings that pilot them, and the awesome power and advanced technology they possess. The God of the Old and the New Testament is very clearly described as regularly appearing in flying, glowing, and spinning objects. There is an entire fleet of flying objects armed with high tech weapons and close encounters of every kind are found in the Bible

The connection of those beings to mankind is examined in scripture and the unbelievable ramifications of that relationship are unveiled. The book shows the abundance of UFO sightings and encounters throughout history as revealed in over a thousand recorded events. Scores of UFO quotations and government investigations are presented to bolster the evidence of a long-standing presence of non-human entities on Earth. The amazing structures and glaring evidence of advanced knowledge left behind by a civilization predating any known cultures capable of creating them are covered.

The Bible tells of the visitors from heaven, "The Nephilim were on the Earth in those days and also afterwards when the Children of the Gods saw the daughters of the Adam (humans) and took them as wives which ever they pleased." Chapter 6 of Genesis.

God speaks to Moses and appears over and over again right up to the Revelation of John and is pointed out as the key to recognizing the Second Coming. UFOs were there at the Exodus, and landed right in front of Ezekiel, and hovered overhead at the birth, baptism, transfiguration, and ascension of Jesus. Elijah rode in a UFO, Job was confronted by one, Jesus was brightly illuminated under one, and Paul was blinded by a UFO. It ascends, descends, hovers, spins, accelerates, flashes and glows. It can cause earthquakes, high winds, and destruction. This work declares that the "Great Deception" just might be the most obvious cover-up in history.

The Bible describes flying vehicles and Advanced Technology .

This section deals with the physical and flight characteristics of the flying vehicles in the Bible. It is important to understand that when the term heaven is used it generally refers to the word sky. The word "sky" or "skies" only appears a dozen times in the entire Bible, although most of the events occur outside.

(The painting the Baptism of Christ," is by Flemish painter Aert de Gelder, circa 1710, and is on display at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England.)

The words "fly" and "flying" occurs 38 times that reveals examples of "godly" flight but, though these flights are described, in some instances, as being in the sky, they also flew in "heaven". The word "heaven" or "heavens" is translated from Hebrew and Greek words that mean "the sky", or directly related to the sky, in 99.7%, or all but two, of the 730 times it appears, in the Bible. The vehicles described in the Bible are flying in the sky. The research on this concept can be found here. Heaven Is The Sky.

The word elohiym, pronounced el-o-heem', is the plural of elowahh; gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used in the plural thus, especially with the article of the supreme God. The word is definitely plural. And we believe that the Elohiym, the beings called God, which are led by the "individual" Elohiym called the Lord God named Yehovah, are not restricted by physical limitations, but do have a physical presence.  

The Vehicles What Are They Flying?

The Lord Jehovah of the Old Testament, and the Lord Jesus of the New Testament, is described as flying in thick clouds, swift clouds, bright clouds, dark clouds, white clouds, low clouds, great clouds, and fiery clouds. There are platforms, vessels, whirling chariots of fire, sky thrones, fiery horses, cherubims, thick darkness, great fire, whirlwinds, fiery wheels, pavilions, storms, sky dwellings, rolls, and sanctuaries.

Whether, or not, one believes these objects are actually flying vehicles that the God of the Bible lives in, appears with, travels in, and is considered the seat of his power is a matter of opinion. The fact that they do not appear without him or his ambassadors, and that, in most major appearances, he and other beings are clearly described as directly associated with these flying objects, is undeniable.

There are 362 verses describing natural and manmade
objects as vehicles in the Bible

Flight Characteristics

How Do These Vehicles Fly?

The fact that the objects described in the Bible are controlled, flying craft, is borne out by the flight characteristics of those objects. In Bible text the objects associated with the Elohiym are shown to exhibit rapid, prolonged flight, they ascend and descend, and they hover for extended periods. If these objects were just ethereal images created by ethereal beings, these flight descriptions would have no relevance. The fact that the authors wrote about the flight routine of these objects is evidence that they have a distinct physical presence.

There are 162 verses describing the specific
flight characteristics of vehicles in the Bible

The Beings

Who Is Commanding These High-Tech Flying Machines?

Two main beings are directly associated with the flying vehicles, the Elohiym, the gods, and the angels). Others include Archangels, Elders, Ministers, Saints, Watchers, and Men. There is another group which, though assumed to be living entities, is described in a manner that indicates they may be devices or machines.

This group includes Cherubim, Seraphim, Living Creatures, and Beasts. Also presented are the beings that are called Satan and his demons. A fleet of flying vehicles, described as the army, or Hosts of Jehovah, appears several times and the importance of this fleet to the Biblical narrative is seriously underrated.

Close encounters, from face to face conversations and beam-ups to meetings, are well documented in Biblical text and are a major part of many of the Bible's, more phenomenal, events.

Are These High Technology Vehicles Or Images?

Glowing and flashing lights, light beams, and guiding lights are the most frequently associated technological aspect of the flying objects of the Bible. Broadcasting of voices, sounds, and extreme vibrations are, ever present in close proximity to these craft. The term "glory" emerges as the combination of all these effects and is directly connected to the grandeur of the vehicle's appearance. Devices on board can alter weather patterns, cause earthquakes, dry up seas, level cities, and alter the planet's movements.

Beams of light that consume and transport beings and things are clearly described as an arsenal of what can only be called transporter beams, high-tech weapons imagined in science fiction. Mechanical devices adorning the vehicles are described as living things, but their movements point to synchronized movement, metal construction, and attached lights, unknown to primitive society, though easily recognized in this modern age.

Human bioengineering, mental manipulation, creating and healing diseases, and bringing the dead back to life that are described that mirror, as well as, exceed modern science. We do not claim that all miraculous events are caused by technological means, but many can be seen directly associated with many things we see in our modern world and the realm of science fiction.

Impact on Society ET and Religion

What will the impact be on religion when extraterrestrial life is discovered? It is a common assumption that such a discovery will be detrimental to core beliefs of religions around the world. You might be surprised to hear, however, that some experts believe the religious impact will be minor.

A panel discussion on this topic took place on Sunday, June 24 at the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institutes SETIcon II conference in Santa Clara, California. This panel, titled "Would Discovering ET Destroy Earths Religions?" concluded that the resulting impact on religion from an alien discovery is "probably not going to be as severe as we might initially think." That is according to panelist Doug Vakoch, the director of Interstellar Message Composition at the SETI Institute. The major impact would likely be on scientists. (Photo Credit: SETI Institute)

Mike Wall of Space.com points out that "The Bible, Koran and other sacred texts of the worlds major religions stress Gods special concern for humanity and for Earth," so discovering ET "might seem threatening, by implying that we and our planet arent all that special."

But as SETI Institute senior astronomer Seth Shostak mentioned during the panel, "We havent been the center of the universe for a while now — four centuries."
Ancient astronomers Nicolaus Copernicus and Galileo Galilei countered the established belief that the sun and everything else in the universe revolved around Earth. This was viewed as blasphemy by the Catholic Church. The present-day Vatican, however, is much more open to science and the possibilities of life elsewhere in the universe.

(Father Jos Gabriel Funes}

In a 2009 interview with Vatican newspaper LOsservatore Romano, Father Jos Gabriel Funes, the director of the Vatican observatory, stated, "As a multiplicity of creatures exist on Earth, so there could be other beings, also intelligent, created by God. This does not contrast with our faith because we cannot put limits on the creative freedom of God."

U.S. Speeds Up Deployment of Aircraft Carrier to the Middle East

July 17, 2012  MIDDLE EAST - The U.S. Defense Department is speeding deployment of the Navys John C. Stennis aircraft carrier group to the Middle East, four months ahead of its scheduled deployment. Marine Corps General James Mattis, commander of the U.S. Central Command, sought the earlier presence of the Stennis strike group and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta approved the request.

Little said, "Sending the Stennis group ahead of schedule was intended to avoid having just one aircraft carrier group in the Middle East when the USS Enterprise carrier group leaves the region later this year".

Russian and Chinese ships are also steaming to the Mediterranean Sea for a huge Exercise to show support for Syria.

In June, the Pentagon announced a nine- month deployment of the carrier Dwight D. Eisenhower to the area. "The Stennis Strike Group will include the Navys Aegis destroyer USS Mobile Bay and a contingent of 5,500 sailors," Little said. - Bloomberg

Russian War Supply Ship Is Bound for Syria :

A Russian ship believed to be carrying helicopters and missiles for Syria has been effectively stopped in its tracks off the coast of Scotland after its insurance was cancelled at the behest of the British government. The British marine insurer Standard Club said it had withdrawn cover from all the ships owned by Femco, a Russian cargo line including the MV Alaed.

"We were made aware of the allegations that the Alaed was carrying munitions destined for Syria," the company said in a statement. "We have already informed the ship owner that their insurance cover ceased automatically in view of the nature of the voyage." Thanks to the Telegraph

Syria Collapse Possible

Aleppo A thousand rebels launched an offensive against Aleppo over the weekend in an attempt to wrest the city from government forces. Rebels have taken key portions of the city of Aleppo and for the first time Syrian Fighter jets have bombed and strafed the rebels in Eastern areas of Syria's second largest city.

Russian made helicopter gunships also attacked the rebels. The fighter attacks, which followed an artillery barrage, are seen as a significant escalation in the conflict. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says territorial gains made by the rebels will eventually result in a "safe haven" inside Syria.

The fighter attacks on rebels indicate the Bashar Assad's regime is getting desperate to stop the rebellion. The situation is similar to Tripoli a year ago, and the rebellion appears to gaining strength. Russia, Iran, and China support the government and are sending supplies. The Russians have a naval supply base at Tartus, and fear the loss of international credibility if their ally is abandoned.

Turkey and probably the US and Israel are providing war supplies to the rebels. It is doubtful European nations will launch attacks like in Libya.

U.S. policymakers are bracing for a potential "collapse" of the power structure inside Syria following a bomb attack that left several key Syrian regime officials dead. Damascus the capital of Syria saw an unprecedented attack last Wednesday, when a bomb ripped through a high-level security meeting and killed at least three high level officials. 

Syrian TV confirmed the deaths of Defense Minister Dawoud Rajha, 65, a former army general and the most senior government official to be killed in the rebels' battle to oust Assad.

Also killed was General Assef Shawkat,

(Shown here) the deputy defense minister who is married to Assad's elder sister; and Hassan Turkmani, a former defense minister who died of wounds suffered in the attack.

The government is using most all of its capabilities against the rebellion but it seems to gaining strength.

Brigadier General Tlas's who commanded the 10th Brigade of the elite Republican Guard announced his decision to abandon Bashar al-Assad. He was an important Sunni figure in the president's inner circle.

Sightings in the United States

Alaska Disc

My brother, who lives in Alaska, posted this photo on Facebook. I have NOT asked him for permission to send you this photo. Im just curious what it is. He hadnt noticed it until I pointed the disc out. The object is in the upper left shot on January 1, 2010.

Arizona CH-47 Chinook. Airlifts a Craft

In February 2012, a Boeing CH-47 Chinook airlifted a craft resembling an alien disk! Look carefully at this disk like object which appears to have its landing gear down. The Chinook has a 50 foot long fuselage; the UFO looks to be longer at about 53 feet. Since the Chinook can carry 33 passengers not including the pilots, then this UFO would be able to carry more since it would be 53 feet in all directions, rather only one direction like the helicopter.

California Triangle

Granada Hills I looked into the northern sky from Granada Hills on July 17, 2012, to see three lights forming a triangular shape that appeared to be rotating slowly. Two of the lights faded out while one continued. Two more lights rose up and faded out rather quickly while the third light remained bright and began to move west toward me and then drift down and to the south followed by a slow change in direction to the north. Finally it descended and became so dim you couldnt see it anymore. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Robert writes, "I took this photo of the waning moon rising on July 5, 2012, at 10:36 pm. ", I wanted to take a few shots of the moon rising through the forest fire smoke. I got more than just the Moon as you can see.

My wife was outside with me when I took this photo. I use a tripod mounted camera and the timer delay. Neither of us saw anything when I took this photo. I used a long exposure around 1.5s, so that object had to hang their motionless for the full exposure.

Florida Triangle and Light

Punta Gorda -- My wife had been seeing lights in the sky so I started paying attention to the sky. On July 21, 2012, I noticed a strange formation of clouds that looked like a mushroom with high activity of lighting. In the bottom of this cloud I noticed a strange triangle of lights which I thought was a reflection on my glasses. I started recording from my iPhone and noticed the light flew abruptly changing directions and vanishing. Thanks to MUFON CMS

On July13, 2012, I saw this happen three times and then I caught it on film...watch what happens at 15 seconds... seems like cloud becomes energized and the light source shuts off or moves away.. There was minimal to zero wind and minimal cloud movement.

Georgia Orb

ATLANTA--

Originally published on Jul 12, 2012 by ses76.

The submitter states at the end of January 2012, my friend Andrea took this footage from an airplane window on a flight from Florida to Atlanta.

It was originally recorded on a DCR-HC52 Sony Handycam Digital Video.

She could not transfer the footage from the camera into a workable format until now.

This UFO is the same craft that I have seen on four occasions and featured on my video 'UFO Cloaks as Jupiter.' Five days after recording the footage Andrea's cell phone and laptop permanently stopped functioning. The footage was not harmed. It is some of the best raw UFO footage I have seen.

Idaho UFO

fernan lake road -- I have been seeing and hearing about UFO sightings for a long time.

I have lived in North Idaho for 26 years and witnessed UFO s three times. Now I finally got one on camera so here it is .

Illinois Triangle

KEWANEE -- I finally feel the urge to get my story out. As a sophomore in high school I enjoyed riding around and drove towards Windmont Park at 11 pm, when I noticed a bluish-white light that was amazingly bright heading upwards. As I kept watching the light rose up and I saw three lights in a delta formation. This craft was huge and 200-300 feet. I was freaking out as it swiveled around a central axis and moved towards me. I quickly threw my car in reverse and started to back up. In the center of the craft a pinpoint light between the triangulation lights shot a spot light beam directed towards the ground in front of me. I backed up my car to keep out of the light and threw my car in drive, spun around and sped away. I quickly drove home in a panic and my mother asked, "Was I okay?" I was pale white and had the shakes. Thanks to MUFON CMS

La Salle I am a Commercial Pilot with 40 years of flying experience in General Aviation aircraft and I was driving home on July 21, 2012, when I saw an object hovering over the road. I passed under it and drove home and as I drove into the driveway observed a multitude of objects moving from west to east. I watched for a few minutes and started to take pictures. I was amazed as the brightly lit object changed directions silently. I lost sight of them when the objects flew north into an overcast layer. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Indiana UFOs

BLANFORD Richard Bondira has been photographing UFOs on clear nights since January 2012.

He sent me dozens of photographs of UFO that he has filmed over the last six months. As many as ten or more UFOs can be seen on some nights. They mostly hover but can be seen maneuvering, spin around, or go straight up. They usually come from the southeast heading northwest. They stretch across the night sky from east to west. Thanks to Richard Bondira

Kentucky Square

LOUISVILLE -- At 8:15 PM, on July 15, 2012, my wife and I were standing on our deck when both saw an oval shaped object with a red ring underneath. It had three round lights along its keel and flying at 3500 feet east, in a straight line. As the object got closer my wife brought out our 35mm camera with 30 power zoom. By the time I got focused on the object, it was directly above us but the red ring and the three lights were no longer visible. The silent object had also changed shape to a cube and suddenly disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Massachusetts Lights

Brimfield -- Two friends and I were traveling from towards Palmer and a kite shaped object with lights distinguishing the points moves over the canopy of the trees to the right of the highway. Within a second the object was flying in the same direction as we were traveling and had gained speed and was now a few miles ahead of us. The object moved very rapidly out of sight while ascending. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Missouri Triangle

Blue Springs -- This triangle of lights was seen from the Hy-Vee parking lot on July 17, 2012, at 10:35 pm. I thought it was some of those Chinese Lanterns so I went in the store to .get others to see it. When I went back outside they were quickly gone that led me to believe it wasnt lanterns. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New York Triangle Lights

BROOKLYN -- The night of July 18, 2012, my brother and I were relaxing in the backyard at around 3:45 am. I saw a light that looked much brighter than the rest. A few minutes later my brother pointed out a brighter light coming from behind my neighbors house.

We saw actual airplanes flying by in the sky, but they would vanish quickly. We then saw a blinking/pulsating red light near the two bright white lights and realized it was not an airplane. The three lights were in a perfect triangle formation and were flying slowly in an ascending. All the lights stayed in a perfect triangle and then would swell into a bigger ball of light. We started hearing strange vibrations like a vibrating cell phone. An hour later it was still ascending and all the lights remained in perfect formation as the lights disappeared into a cloud. Thanks to MUFON CMS

North Carolina Lights

Asheville I was approaching Amboy Road at 8:30 PM, on July 21, 2012, from I-240 East and noticed what looked like a constellation of bright lights towards the Asheville-Buncombe Technical College. There were at least 15 lights and upwards to 25 hanging in the air with only slight movement as we were driving towards them. As we approached the intersection of Lyman Street, and Amboy Road the lights had moved south towards us. They were now looking like separate intense mercury vapor spheres slowly floating away from the campus area. Some disappeared down to five lights and then some reappeared. When we reached the campus, we could see six lights. We turned around and suddenly the lights were gone. My son, my wife and daughter saw the spheres and he was able to get a picture with his cell phone. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Ohio Lights

Middletown My girlfriend and I were driving down a very populated road in Middletown on April, 14, 2012 at about 9:30 pm. I looked up and saw four lights, and then one of the four lights began flying around the other three lights, giving off a long trail of orange/red flames making it look more like a meteor with intelligence. I filmed the objects. It was too agile and fast for a plane. It looked like flying meteors with intelligence and flying formations.
Then the fourth one flew in front of the three lights and stopped. Then the three lights aligned themselves and drifted into the clouds and then disappeared again. We pulled over to the side of the road and I videotaped a fourth one with my IPhone that maneuvered and then disappeared into the clouds. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Pennsylvania Lights

Philadelphia -- I saw a UFO in Philly skies for more than four hours on October 11, 2011.

I have also put videos on YouTube. All four videos are named UFO over Philly, or UFO in Philly skies .

Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

South Carolina Lights

Myrtle Beach I was having dinner with family in a condo overlooking the Atlantic Ocean on July 18, 2012, when my Uncle yelled for all of us to go out on the balcony. At first, I thought it was a star or plane as the lights slowly increased from a small to a larger orange ball. Then after several seconds it faded out and performed the same movement farther north. Next it would be farther south. At one point there were three lights that turned on individually then faded to black individually. The object disappeared after several minutes and we went back to enjoying the evening. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Utah Light

West Valley City -- I was out sky watching alone with 10x50 binoculars mounted on a tripod. At 10:14 pm , on July 17, 2012. I spotted an object moving north above me. It had an orange glow flying at about 10 thousand feet in altitude (AGL).

It was silent moving at a moderate speed. As I watched it with binoculars it dimmed a little and disappeared almost instantly. I spotted it as it disappeared flying north of the star Vega.
I have seen many such objects like this making 90 degree turns. It is too bad more people arent more observant. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Washington D.C. Light

D.C. -- Probes were hovering in the skies on July 17, 2012, at 1 am, at the local park. I captured a video of UFOs hovering in the sky. It was not a model airplane as the object would move very rapidly in an indiscernible pattern and is engulfed in light that obscures the actual vessel.

This probe produces a field that can generate images of objects, people, and entities. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Worldwide Sightings

Argentina : Mysterious Events in Western Buenos Aires

Four out of ten Argentina people have seen UFOs.

Diario Popular reports, "Lights are streaking swiftly across the sky, strange flying objects that draw the attention of local residents at different times of day, remarks from other residents claiming abductions by intelligences from other worlds and even a little girl who states that small, big-eyed children come to get her to play with a person she identifies as Jesus these are some of the enigmatic circumstances that can be found in the so-called "Western Corridor" of Greater Buenos Aires and, which according to one researcher, constitute a glimpse into a mysterious and undefined situation." 15 July 2012
Fabin Torti, a member of the Grupo Tecnico de Asistencia Psicolgica OVNI (GRU.TAP Technical Group for Psychological UFO Assistance), provides a psychological and sociological focus for the multiple UFO events reported. Torti pointed out "Many strange situations are being recorded, within the Province of Buenos Aires." An abductee, "Provides details that that cannot be invented," says Torti, she noted that the intelligences taking her "did not stand on the floor, but were suspended over the surface, and that she saw a human being with wires connected between his head and a monitor that displayed his thoughts."

A five-year-old girl says, "Small, big-eyed kids come to get her, and take her to play with Jesus," in her own words."One of our members photographed strange objects in the sky, and in my particular case, whenever I leave home early on a Saturday morning I see a round object in the sky. A group of youngsters barbecuing outside a house witnessed around midnight an intense luminous orb that irradiated shades of yellow and red.

The not yet fully explained explosion of 26 September 2011 in Montegrande, may have been the crash of a UFO according to Torti. The researcher recalls that the morning after the explosion, "One could see black SUVs, people speaking English and German, and teams working behind screens as they took away chunks of metal that were left after the explosion."

Brazil Cigar-shaped UFO

Patrocnio -- Minas Gerais State, a UFO hovered over the city for about one hour, from 2 pm to 3:00 pm. It was seen for a lot of people all over the city, even causing a live broadcast in the local radio. Better description of the event in the video attached. Thanks to MUFON CMS

ARAGUAIA RIVER --I would like to know what the object is that appears in the photo on July 8, 2012. It may be an anomaly or is it something that was in heaven?

The photo was taken during a fishing trip. Location approximate (1241'29.24"S 5038'53.32"W) Thanks to FALM 

Canada Disc

PICKERING -- I saw over ten orbs passing through a few kilometer break in the clouds on July 16, 2012. They were heading SSE over Toronto. I ran into my work and grabbed the first person I could, and he saw two orbs. We stayed outside for ten minutes and saw nothing else. I came out five minutes later to see an orb following the same path just coming into sight. I banged on the window of my work, and two workmates came out to observe the last orb. We saw planes that were easily distinguishable from the orbs. This is unlike anything my workmates and I have seen before. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Vernon I saw light in sky towards west at about 11 pm on July 21, 2012. It was bright orange and flew south and then disappeared. The light reappeared ten minutes later in same spot it and flew south again and slowly disappeared.

The orange light reappeared again and we videotaped as it faded into nothing. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Chile Light

Santiago -- This video was taken by my brother on May 10, 2008, about 1:15 AM from a residential area. He used a Sony Handycam H18xR.

The resolution from the original tape is better quality than the one Im sending here. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Guam Lights

DEDEDO -- Driving at night on July 15, 2012, on Salisbury Street I headed north towards Dededo at 35 mph, and I saw two lights mirroring each other, up until one started circling the other in a slow decent. Before the other circled its partner in a slow manner, the gap between the two fluctuated. Gradually increasing and decreasing at a relatively slow speed. I don't know what to make of it, but relate it to the solar flare event that took place last week? I worked in aviation for six years and have a degree in the field. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Portugal Flying Clouds

Gniezno I was taking pictures of the clouds on July 15, 2012, when an object expanded into a cylinder. I tried to see what it is.

After zooming it can look like a drill from the top.

UK/England

BRIGHTEN -- I was sitting at my desk by the window in my office on June 15, 2012, when I leaned back into my chair, and noticed a black dot in the sky. It was traveling in my direction, so I ran into the front room and grabbed my binoculars. My wife and daughters were I was sitting at my desk by the window in my office, when I leaned back into my chair, and noticed Black dot in the sky. It was traveling in my direction, so I ran into the front room and grabbed my binoculars. My wife and daughters were in there at the time, and asked what I was doing. I then looked thru the binoculars and got a good visual on the tumbling object. It was a black, disk shaped with a proud centre. It was very odd! We all ran out to the garden to observe it, and that is when I shot video footage on my mobile phone. The object descended then changed direction and started emitting white lights, flash, and then a red glow. The object would stop flipping and even flipped back on itself whilst maintaining a flight path. We watched as it disappeared in the distance. Thanks to MUFON CMS

SUPER EARTH: Scientists discover life-supporting planet 'right at Earth's front door'

Gilese 581 has "churchly weather" similar to what we experience in Australia and could support human life. Picture: AP

ASTRONOMERS have discovered a planet that may be capable of supporting human life, and it's right at Earth's front door.

"It's not just in our backyard, it's right in our face," lead researcher Professor Steven Vogt said.
The planet is 22 light years away, previously thought to be 20 light years, and is formally known as Gliese 581g, but Professor Vogt told news.com.au that he has since named it after his wife.
"I called it 'Zarmina's world'," Professor Vogt said.
While his claims have been previously reported, a new study, released to News.com.au this week, dismisses calls of balderdash by the international science community. 
The study - by astronomers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and the Carnegie Institution of Washington - shows the planet is twice the size of Earth. It is known as a "super Earth" due to its ability to hold on to its gassy atmosphere, which increases its chances of retaining liquid.
Whether this liquid is frozen and stored under the surface or flowing freely across the planet, the researchers can't say.
The scientist from the University of California said that the planet has "churchly weather".
"From the energy bounds and brightness of the star we can tell that the temperatures would be just about right to stand on the surface and feel the warmth of the alien star on your face, like standing in the park in Sydney."
However the researchers were unable to determine what the surface of the planet is like, Professor Vogt said.
The planet exists in a band of perpetual twilight near its orbiting star known as the "Goldilocks zone" - an area near earth that isn't too hot, or cold but is just right for sustaining life.
Prof Vogt said scientists will eventually be able to send out probes in search for advanced civilisations
"If you get lucky and find civilisations, you'd be able to have a two-way conversation within a human life-time," he said. "You don't want to have to spend 1000 years waiting to hear 'wazzup', and then another 1000 years before they get to hear not much, and you?'."
The researcher said after making first contact, scientists may receive an answer within 44 years.
"Within a few hundred years you could be able to receive picture postcards from an iPhone or Android and be able to listen to what they sound like, and sample their way of life from a spacecraft," he said.
"There is something out there."
These findings are not without controversy, however.
This isn't the first time Professor Vogt has claimed the existence of a habitable planet. His findings back in 2010 sparked a scientific cat fight between the US researchers and a rival team of Swiss astronomers, known as "HARPS" (High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet).
HARPS published research saying it had found four planets that orbited the same star as Gliese 581g (which at the time had not yet been confirmed).
Prof Vogt's team questioned the team's data and suggested two more planets existed in the Goldilock's Zone and published its findings in the US’s Astrophysical Journal.
HARPS claimed that Vogt's research was nonsense, creating waves in the scientific community.
The international media then seized on HARPS and Vogt's data, reporting problems with both team's research.
A year later the HARPS team released expanded data on its findings confirming the existence of four planets but not Vogt's extra two.
Vogt's team then analysed HARPS data and tried unsuccessfully to replicate the findings.
Prof Vogt told news.com.au that they discovered that the Swiss team omitted five points of data which related to the radial velocity of the planets because it didn't fit their data model or modes of thinking.
“Such setting of eccentricities introduces biases and personal choices into the model that inappropriately affect the resulting solution,” Prof Vogt wrote in the study, which was provided to News.com.au.
"You're basically deliberately deleting information in your data that's telling you there's more in the system than you're telling people about. You're hiding that stuff,” he told News.com.au.
Prof Vogt's study will be published in European astrophysics journal, Astronomisch Naschrischten tomorrow (AEST).

The Return of The Incredible Green Fireballs: New Films of a UFO Mystery

By Anthony Bragalia
The Bragalia Files
7-17-12

     Nature provides man with wondrous atmospheric displays from comets to the Northern Lights. As awe-inspiring and infrequent as these phenomena are, they all have prosaic origins as explained by science. Much less understood (and far more rare) are the enigmatic Green Fireballs. The Green Fireball is often associated with historical sightings that occurred in areas like the State of New Mexico and near our National Laboratories, such as Sandia and Los Alamos. These unusually-behaved luminous balls of ethereal green were very different from conventional meteors and were seen to perform extraordinary aerial feats during the late 1940s and early 1950s. Military and intelligence authorities at that time even had a top-secret project called “Twinkle” whose objective was to trace the mysterious green fireballs plaguing Southwest skies in particular. Then for some inexplicable reason, appearances of the green balls of fire tapered down and “winked out.”
Or did they?

– Revealed here are remarkable images (recently found buried within NASA space footage archives) of a Green Fireball that seems to “follow” our astronauts.

– Striking and exceeding rare film has been located, also taken from space, where one can vividly see the strange Green Fireballs doing the impossible: exiting the earth’s atmosphere rather than entering it.

– High definition, non-hoaxed film taken this past Spring (with link below) clearly depicts a slow, “watchful” Green Fireball passing above excited witnesses for several minutes- not seconds. The object is comprised of matter but displays a luminous halo of “energy” and seems to change shape into a “diamond.”

– Documented recent reports referenced here that have been filed of Green Fireballs that wildly morph their appearance and “pace” their observers.

The glowing green balls are now exhibiting behavior so distinctly unnatural and never-before-seen that the conclusion draws near: Some of this phenomenon is intelligent and it is evolving in its revealed capability. It is able to mimic nature while traversing at will above us with a purpose unknown.

Green Fireballs: Natural and Artificial

Of course astronomers recognize the term “Green Fireballs” in conventional terms as naturally-occurring atmospheric events. Infrequently, shooting meteors of sufficient mass and velocity can create a “shockwave” hot enough to produce a Green Fireball. It is a cosmic phenomena associated with the color green that is caused in part by ionized oxygen (and is similar in color to that of a green aurora.) Recent research at Queensland University points to a possible connection to “ball lightning” electrical phenomenon as well. Sightings of most all such Green Fireballs can be accounted for in these (largely) understood, prosaic ways.

Only very occasionally ever filmed clearly, here we see a conventional “shooting” Green Fireball over Ocean Shores in 2008, towards the very end of this 44 second clip (incorrectly titled “UFO Green Fireball”- as it is indeed a green meteor):



A “conventional” Green Fireball is very simply a mass of stony or metallic matter that has fallen to earth from outer space. As can be seen in the above clip, it appears as a transient, fiery streak, otherwise known as a “falling star.”

But there are a core of sightings of Green Fireball-like phenomena that are distinctly different than conventional fireballs or green meteors - and that elude conventional explanation. It is this phenomenon that does not appear to find its origin with the realm of known atmospheric or celestial events. This unknown phenomenon was first noted officially and scientifically in 1948. Such illustrious scientists as astronomer Dr. Lincoln LaPaz (who was also involved in the Roswell crash investigation in 1947 according to multiple credible sources) initiated Green Fireball investigations utilizing expensive monitoring equipment (including an installation placed only 30 miles from the Roswell crash-involved Foster Ranch.) So concerned was the military that such sightings were occurring near rocketry and nuclear sites that a top secret conference was organized about the issue and attended by luminaries including Dr. Edward Teller. Opinions were divergent and studies, inconclusive.

In 1965 LaPaz privately confided to the Air Force’s Dr. J. Allen Hynek of Project Blue Book his last known word on the flying green balls: LaPaz was sure that certain fireballs’ anomalous characteristics were never really understood by himself or by officials- and that they did not behave like normal meteorites- and were most probably “artificial” in their origin. Despite best efforts, a certain class of Green Fireballs resisted all attempts at sustained filming and at determining trajectory- or in ever recovering any expected celestial debris. We have learned that this class of “artificial” Green Fireball phenomenon displays essential differences from “conventional” green meteors:

- They favor and cluster in specific geographic areas and sometimes near highly-sensitive locations.

- They appear episodically and even seem to “leave” us all together, only to reveal themselves again years later.

- They do not emit smoke trails (but sometimes have unusual ‘tails’).

- They change direction and angle of travel (sometimes sharply and abruptly, unlike conventional “shooting” meteoric phenomena).

- They have no impact sites and have never left any evidence of any type of their descent to earth.

- They do not always “shoot” or dart quickly, as they can also change their speed- and can sometimes maneuver far more slowly than meteors and other entering cosmic debris.

- They can possess “lime green” colorations that are not consistent with known celestial phenomena.

These anomalous characteristics left LaPaz and others forever perplexed. One can only wonder what they might think of their even more incredible aerial behavior today, documented on film.

- They travel impossibly upward and outward through our atmosphere and into space.

- They follow and track our astronauts.

- They can hover silently and with precision and even appear to even “watch” their observers.

- They can morph their shape.

The Green fireball That left The Earth To Follow The Astronauts - On Film

In scouring the deepest recesses of official NASA archived images online, located were photos and film of the Green Fireball taken from space that to my eyes are nothing short of astounding. And I was equally astounded that at least one other has also found the same thing.

In May of this year researcher Wilbur Allen spoke at a small conference which featured a call-in from his friend, Moon-walker Dr. Edgar Mitchell. Mr. Allen (who has professional interest in photography and was once employed as a White House engineer) delivered a presentation that included a brief segment of film that somehow made its way passed NASA censors. The film, taken by Apollo 7 in 1968, has been discovered to include clear moving images of a Green Fire Ball that is exiting –not entering- the Earth’s atmosphere. Further, it careens into space and is photographed by the astronauts! Allen notes yet another astronaut-filmed image of a Green Fireball in space which has received very little notice involving Buzz Aldrin- a man whose comments on ET have been both full of hints and contradictions. Allen also provides a striking comparative analysis of green fireballs using a solarization imaging technique.

You can see this very-little-viewed film here now, with the relevant portion beginning at about 1:58 of this 8 minute clip. It is best seen in a darkened room, full-screen at a minimally 480p quality resolution:



Below is a clear, still image of the Green Ball. (Excuse the crude box used to highlight the object. The NASA original is a much larger image not suitable to show here due to space constraints):

Green Fireball That Hovers, Follows Observers, and was Filmed!

For several minutes on October 9th, 2011, an excited Chicagoan and friends filmed a Green Fireball (that also morphed into a diamond-shape.) Shot clearly in 300X zoom, the resulting footage shows in astounding detail a flying Green Ball which possesses some kind of defined structure and which appears comprised of matter as well as a sort of high-state “energy.” The luminous aerial wonder changes shape and appears in ethereal green colors, encircled by a halo which is the hue of an ‘electric violet.’ The flight pattern is intentional and slow enough to be filmed for minutes- not seconds. See it yourself here in a little-mentioned 8-minute film, best viewed full-screen at minimally 480p quality resolution. You may wish to turn down the accompanying distracting ambient music:



The Green Balls of Fire Continue To Fly

A review of Green Fireball UFOs reported to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) shows that sightings of such phenomenon are on the rise and that their performance capabilities are evolving. Two notable, documented examples:

- In January of 2012 (MUFON Case # 34457) in New Mexico (a state long favored by the Green Fireballs) witnesses sighted one descending toward them. Then remarkably, its position suddenly changed to one of flying level. It then morphed its shape from a fireball into a slightly shiny V-shaped object and out of view! This is reminiscent of the filmed October 2011 episode above, where the “ball” becomes a “diamond” shape.

- In March of 2010 (MUFON Case # 22579) we learn of a report filed by a married couple in Florida who are described as “astronomy fans” who have seen many meteors. This green one however, was markedly different. They were surprised at how utterly slow the object moved as it passed closely by them (at about the speed of a single engine prop airplane) and that its brightness never wavered.

The Great Green Fireball is curious of us. Fleeting and ever furtive, it is secretive and evasive. It lets us glimpse it (and now even film it) but it never lets us “get it” to touch it. This is was Dr. LaPaz’ very lament. As he said, “it was not natural.” It acts with aptitude. It comprehends and it discerns. We can speculate that it is a sentient ball of light, a probe, a craft. But we cannot be sure. The only thing that is really certain is that the phenomena is real- and that its secrets will be revealed to us only if and when it ever wishes to do so.

In special reports, this weeks files cover: Universe is full of Earth size Planets,

The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force. Under Project Blue Book, the US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years; and we continue this research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO's are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Dear Readers, if you are sending emails to me I spent several days reading them but I have over 24,808 left to read in multiple languages. If I do not answer your query I apologize, but I feel it is more important to write these files.

Newly Released UK National Archives Files (U.S. plays dumb, still).

The National Archives has been released on 12 July 2012.

Its files, contain over 6,700 pages of UFO policy, parliamentary questions, public correspondence and UFO sighting reports.

The files reveal the role of the UFO Desk Officers for the first time, including what they really thought about the possibility of alien visits, their ideas to harness alien technology as a weapon, and their briefings to Tony Blair on UFO policy.

One of the strangest jobs in Whitehall; Dr David Clarke, author of the book  'The UFO files' and Senior Lecturer in Journalism from Sheffield Hallam University, said: 'These records allow us to look behind the scenes of what must have been one of the strangest jobs in Whitehall. We now have a fascinating insight into some of the extraordinary reports and briefings which passed over the UFO Desk on a daily basis and how its officers used logic and science in their attempts to explain the unexplained".

The 'daily mechanics' of the UFO Desk Officer job included providing briefings on the Ministry of Defence's position on UFOs and extraterrestrial life, undertaking UFO investigations, handling hundreds of Freedom of Information (FOI) requests, and managing UFO 'experts' and press enquiries.

Among the files is a 1995 briefing by a UFO Intelligence Officer which states that although there is no hard evidence for alien craft, if sightings were indeed alien visitors there was a number of possible reasons for their visit, including 'a) military reconnaissance b) scientific c) tourism'.

The briefing paper also states that if the reports were to be believed, alien technology was far superior to ours and goes on to suggest that the Ministry of Defence could use the UFO technology, if it existed.

Further highlights

A lengthy briefing on UFO policy to Prime Minister Tony Blair's office at the time the government had just begun the implementation of the FOI Act

Findings of an Unexplained Aerial Phenomena study suggested that some UFOs were rare atmospheric plasmas that could be used by the military as 'novel weapon technology'

A 1982 memo notes a fall in numbers of UFO sightings since the beginning of the Falklands War but 'large numbers of UFOs have been seen in the vicinity of the Task Force - presumably Little Green Men in ponchos'

A late night visit by three 'men in black' to a person who reported having a UFO encounter in Spalding, Lincolnshire. The UFO witness later had no recollection of either the men or the UFO encounter

The files are free to download for a month at  nationalarchives.gov.uk/ufos.

You can also  read a guest post by David Clarke about the files on our  blog.

A new edition of David Clarke's book 'The UFO files' is also coming soon - sign up for our  free e-newsletter to find out when this edition becomes available, and to receive notification on the latest UFO files releases. See more data below at Wales.

http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/news/738.htm 

Prime Minister Tony Blair was briefed on the UK's files about UFO sightings in 1998, newly declassified MoD documents have revealed.

Writer Nick Redfern urged him to "consider making available for public scrutiny all of the many and varied UFO reports compiled by the government".

The request came as the government began to implement Freedom of Information (FOI requests).

Some 6,700 pages of UFO documents have been released by the National Archives.

Chelsea FC sighting

The documents also include details of a briefing made before a House of Lords debate on UFOs in 1979, and reveal that former Prime Minister John Major had been asked by a fellow MP in 1996 whether the government would set up a national inquiry into UFO sightings.

The declassified documents - from the MoD unit which investigated UFO claims from 1950 until it was shut down in 2009 - also include several sightings and investigations.

Dr David Clarke, author of the book The UFO files and senior lecturer in journalism from Sheffield Hallam University pushed to have these files released.

He said: "These records allow us to look behind the scenes of what must have been one of the strangest jobs in Whitehall".

A spate of sightings in west Wales in 1977 which included a hotel owner seeing two tall silver-suited "faceless humanoids" which began making measurements.

A UFO sighting in Spalding, Lincolnshire, which led to the witness being visited by three tall men in black suits who seemed to move silently.

A mounted police officer seeing a "square/diamond shaped object moving across the sky and changing shape" whilst on duty at Chelsea FC ground in 1999.

An RAF Air Commodore describing in a memo to Defence Intelligence Staff that he had seen a UFO flying above him when he was flying at 40,000 feet.

A memo noting claims the naval task force sailing to liberate the Falklands in 1982 had been shadowed by UFOs.

'X Files' fiction

Files relating to the unit have been transferred to the National Archive since 2007.

The documents also include an email from an intelligence officer working on the desk who described the daily mechanics of the role.

The officer says it is not the MoD's role to confirm or deny the possibility of extraterrestrials, but to gauge whether unidentified objects are a threat to the UK's security.

In an email he says discussion of the unit "tends to suggest to the public that there are Top Secret teams of specialist scientists scurrying around the country in a real life version of the X-Files [But] this is total fiction."

The files will be free to view for a month. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18797691

Italy Marshal Giancarlo Cecconi Film-Radar-Visual Case

Pilot Giancarlo Cecconi, in his G-91R fighter is attached to the 14 Group 2nd' Air Force Fighter Wing is returning to Treviso Air Base, Italy after having carried out a reconnaissance mission on June 18, 1979, at 11:30 AM. The Istrana radar center (TV), registers the presence of an intruder on its radar screens, and gives Cecconi directions to approach the unidentified craft that has penetrated a prohibited area. Having unused film in his aircraft cameras, the pilot activates them and approaches the UFO up to a distance of 70-80 meters and at speeds estimated at 300 knots (450-500 km. The airport ground staff follows the scene with binoculars. The Treviso Control Tower personnel call Cecconi to warn him that the object is discharging a strange "blue trail." He is in close pursuit at 7,000 feet altitude but does not know its wake. When the Pilot closes on the object it makes up and down movements a 1,000 feet at a time, climbing up to 13,000 feet. Cecconi makes seven to eight passes close to the object and each time takes gun camera film of the UFO resulting in a total of 82 frames depicting the intruder. The apparent UFO is stationary relative to the G-91, but the radar center confirms Cecconi it is moving, course and speed defined. The pilot tries to pass (and resume) just next door, but it does not succeed because the object "appears to operate" in order to get over him in the front angled or otherwise, without the side completely set before him [3].

 The witness recalls a "gas tank" of matte black and the presence of a small white or clear "dome" located on the upper side, of the slightly flattened object. The "dome" is like a kind of shaping or fairing like those found on sports cars. While Cecconi is making yet another tack to get back to doing another round of photographs, Istrana radar calls to report the object suddenly disappeared from theirs and other radars. After a few seconds, the Treviso control tower confirms the UFO has visually disappeared.

A few minutes later, the plane lands and the films are removed and quickly developed. The pilot is very curious to see the pictures that came out well, including the white.""dome" The object is a cylindrical tank at least eight meters long (26 feet) with a maximum three in diameter suspended in the sky at thirteen thousand feet high."

The case is important because of the gun camera film, radar, and visual confirmation with several witnesses including a highly respected fighter pilot... http://www.facebook.com/n/?photo.php&fbid=3853045898075

X-37 B Space Plane Lands.

VANDENBERG --CNN reports The U.S. Air Force's robotic X-37B space plane finally returned to Earth Saturday (June 16), wrapping up a mysterious mission that lasted more than year in orbit.

The unmanned X-37B spacecraft, also known as Orbital Test Vehicle-2 (OTV-2), glided back to Earth on autopilot, touching down at California's Vandenberg Air Force Base at 5:48 a.m. The mission lasted more than 15 months with objectives that remain shrouded in secrecy.

This same craft is due to launch again in the fall 2012. Air Force officials announced the X-37B space plane's successful landing in a brief statement posted on the Vandenberg website.

The X-37B stayed in orbit for 469 days this time. Thanks to USAF.

New Race of Super Earthlings

Scientists have made an unexpected and unsettling discovery - a large number of new and previously unseen mutations have been detected among humans. There are those who suggest that there will soon be fantastic X-men. This unexpected discovery is a result of a study conducted by scientists from Cornell University and University of California.

When they examined genes of several thousands of people from around the world, it turned out that mankind has acquired over the past few years new, previously unseen mutations. Is a new human race being born? The scientist studied 202 genes in 14,002 people. The human genome contains some 3 billion base pairs; the scientists studied 864,000 of these pairs. While this is only a small part of the genome, the sample size of 14,002 people is one of the largest ever in a sequencing study in humans.

This project led by John Novembre of the University of California Los Angeles and Vincent Mooser of UK-based drug company GlaxoSmithKline, reports that more than 95% of variants found by sequencing 202 genes in 14,002 people were rare, and that 74% of the variants were carried by only one or two people in the study.

Editors Note: The human race is changing, perhaps due to alien abductions. There are few if any mutations in chimpanzees or apes some of our closest relatives. http://www.messagetoeagle.com/mutants.php#.UATHa2-e7SU

Power Grid Vulnerable

WASHINGTON - After recent storms knocked out power for more than 3 million people in the middle of a record heat wave former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich decided to talk about Americas vulnerable power grid. In an opinion piece posted on The Washington Post Gingrich writes: "Without power, the comforts of home become worthless. You sit in the sweltering heat, realizing you are living in a box that, without electricity, is a trap. You pray for the "juice" to return before your groceries go bad. You either make do in the heat or find refuge with friends who have electricity." Newt claims that the power grid is created in such a ways that doomsday-level damage could be caused if the United States were to be hit with an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) strike or even a major solar storm. The former speaker is worried that a nuclear weapon detonated over the atmosphere of the continental United States could cause an EMP that would knock power out for months, perhaps even years. Gingrich also points to the Carrington Event of 1859, a solar storm that since that time has caused geomagnetic disturbances every 75 years. While we make think the possibility of a solar storm causing major issues is not possible in 1989 a space storm knocked out power to millions of people in Quebec for several hours. "Suppose that, rather than being a temporary disruption in our lives, the power outage lasted weeks or months, or even years. Consider what state all of us, from the richest to the poorest, would be in if we were still literally in the dark. Millions could be trapped in houses or apartments that were never designed for this climate without air conditioning. No cool air; months with no food shipments and every pharmacy shut down — no refills for life-sustaining medications." Consider making preparations just in case.

Sightings in the United States

Arkansas Triangle

Camden I saw lights just over the tree tops flashing different colors that caught my attention at 7:45 pm. A black triangle craft was moving slowly at about two miles per hour in a straight line path headed south about 200 feet altitude on September 19, 2011. The UFO had numerous little red, green, and blue colored lights and two rectangular yellowish pulsating light panels to bright white pulsations.

I could see the craft in great detail has it crossed over Highway 167 on a diagonal between the newly built Sheriffs complex and a business called Steel Deals.

I was the only one stopped and rolled the window down and heard no sound... I was awe stricken as I watched it float silently and pass directly overhead lit up like a Christmas tree. I could see the roundness of each little colored light which were grouped in sections all along the underbelly of the Triangle UFO. 

The panels went from steady bright/dim pulses to getting real bright; like it was powering up. It then took off at breakneck speed headed south, where it was seen by another witness 15 miles from where I saw it in a community called Frenchport, AR.

California Orbs

Oakland -- The witness saw five to six red balls of light floating around the sky at 8:30 PM for half an hour on

July 8, 2012.

The lights would then abruptly shoot up and disappear.

Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

HOLLYWOOD -- You folks need to watch Pt 2 of the original video taken on July 8, 2012. How do you suppose the "lanterns" are unaffected by the draft of the helicopter's rotors? Whatever the objects are, they are maintaining their own position and are stronger than the helicopter. This is most noticeable when the chopper moves to within a few yards of the orb and it doesn't move. Also must mention the fact that an experienced police pilot is taking a tremendous interest in this object. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAKzpakhIms&feature=youtu.beOpen your eyes people....

Colorado Disc

Colorado Springs --There have been way too many "sightings" in and around Colorado Springs for this to be missed by the news. This disc sighting was published on June 28, 2012 by Ko3k10 News 13TV.

If you look behind the helicopter on the far right you'll see a disc shaped object following the fire fighting helicopter. It is NOT another helicopter (size) and is NOT an airplane (speed).

Delaware Triangle

LEWES -- I was going fishing at the pier in Cape Henlopen State Park on the night of June 28, 2012, at a little after 10 PM. Also present was my father, brother, and two nephews and other people who were on the pier. As we walked out on the pier a triangular shaped object appeared that seemed black with lights at each corner. The lights had a red-orange flicker as the object flew silently and slowly 200 feet overhead. It rotated slowly climbing steadily and then flew over the Atlantic Ocean. It was being followed by three other objects with a single light the same color as the triangles. I took a cell phone picture and video of the triangle. NOTE: The above image is a rendering. Thanks to MUFON CMS and Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org

Florida Orbs

St. Augustine Beach -- My son and I were driving over the bridge to the beach when we noticed a rainbow. It was very odd because there was only one small cloud. I snapped pictures and noticed two objects that appeared to be flying in tandem. I cleaned the lens and all three photos showed the two bright discs of light flying closer to the cloud in each photo. They flew straight, then appeared to arc up over the cloud. Both left a distinct trail. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Georgia Lights

ROME On July 10, 2012, the flying object looked like car head lights.

I enlarged the picture and you can see one light.

Indiana UFOs

BLANFORD Richard Bondira has been photographing UFOs on clear nights since January 2012.

He sent me dozens of photographs of UFO that he has filmed over the last six months. As many as ten or more UFOs can be seen on some nights. They mostly hover but can be seen maneuvering, spin around, or go straight up. They usually come from the southeast heading northwest. They stretch across the night sky from east to west. Thanks to Richard Bondira

Maine Encounter

CHINA -- In September of 2000 my cousin and I were sitting in my car which was parked with all power off watching the flashing lights of planes move along the eastern horizon. One was by itself and approached much closer moving at about 25 miles per hour with a bright fixed headlight like a searchlight. It made no sound, had no blinking indicator lights and had no visible outline even as it approached.

When the object was directly in front at no more than 200 feet, I flashed my headlights and the object which had no visible lights except the spotlight suddenly illuminated us with a staggered row of colored lights. After five seconds the lights completely turned off and the object which was hovering changed course and moved slowly and silently away.

Additionally my friend who had stayed in a cabin on the opposite side of the hill years before had been awakened one night by lights outside the cabin with tremendous shaking of the structure. He who was a brave and courageous individual whom I never saw afraid said he was mortally terrified as he hid in a ball from the object and event taking place. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Massachusetts Cylinder

BOSTON --I was filming a documentary in Boston on July 17, 2012, and I shot a church, when reviewing the footage later I noticed a quick flying object at top left shooting past the screen at 0:03. Very strange and it does not seem to be a camera error.

Michigan Dozen Lights

WATERFORD On June 26, 2012, at 10:50 PM, I and my fianc walked outside to his car before he left for work. We noticed strange lights in the southeast sky. They were formed in a triangle, and moving slowly in formation to the east.

The red lights were pulsating and flickering and only visible for a few minutes. My fianc snapped a quick picture, and the lights disappeared one after another. Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org

Lake Leelanau -- On July 3, 2012, I was on my boat preparing to watch the fireworks display at 10:45 PM. I am a 47-year-old Navy veteran and private pilot that observed an orangish-red glow moving from left to right from my position along the 45th parallel, travelling north. The object was below the clouds at 5, 000 feet AGL and moved silently. The orangish-red orb was followed by 14 objects that followed the exact same flight path as the previous one.

I observed two of the objects go black, but I could see their outline and thought they looked like a quarter. I have seen many craft from both ships at sea, on vantages at land and from aircraft that I myself have piloted. No strobes, navigation lights or noise were present. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Minnesota Lights

I had been taking pictures of storm clouds, on July 4, 2012.

I did not see anything until I downloaded these pictures on my computer.

Does anyone know what this is?

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Missouri Sightings

Kansas City Margie Kay reports we had quite a few UFO sightings on July 4, 2012, including my own sighting with 16 other witnesses. I filmed this and am putting it up on You Tube this weekend. We thought it was just a red pulsing light at first but the video shows a larger object with multiple lights --- just goes to show that you can't trust the naked eye. http://www.facebook.com/groups/131384760265948/permalink/356

Union -- The witness, who was an Assistant Fire Chief at the time, was prompted to contact MUFON after seeing a TV program on the Illinois sightings in they hear 2000. He stated that he was returning from a house fire in St. Clair, Missouri at 3:00 AM and was on I-44 Highway approaching Union when he heard law enforcement on the county police band radio discussing an unidentified object. The dispatcher said "Oh its this Roswell stuff again." and that police were chasing the object. 

As the witness approached Highways 50 and 47, he saw a large triangular craft traveling at 25 MPH, about 500 feet altitude. The witness said that very bright lights on the triangle pointed down, but did not light up the ground, seeming to stop 100 feet up.
The witness joined up with a Union officer and a County officer, and the three of them followed the object in their separate cars for an hour as the object headed towards Washington, Missouri, north of the original position. The object was always in front or above them. At one point, the county officer attempted to tilt his dash cam up to get pictures, but it would not raise high enough.

The object stopped and hovered several times and moved very slowly. They were unable to use the radio for communication while the craft was above them. After an hour, the officers needed to turn back to get back to other calls, so this witness left as well. By this time, the object had moved into an area SE of Washington, MO over farmland where there were no roads, and it was impossible to follow. The witness surmises that the object from Illinois continued into Missouri and officers picked up its trail after it crossed the state line. Filed by Assistant State Director for the witness, who wishes to remain anonymous: Thanks to MUFON CMS.

New Jersey Light, Alien Abduction and Triangle

EAST BRUNSWICK Kevin Hodapp sent a video of the night sky with flashes of light probably caused by lighting in the distance. A fairly bright light moves from right to left that does not flash strobe lights or navigation lights like a normal aircraft. Thanks to Kevin Hodapp

Abducted

ATLANTIC COUNTY -- First, I never remember seeing a UFO. I didn't even know I was being abducted until July 6, 2012, when I read some reviews of the book "Taken" and some red flags went up for me. My abductions usually begin at night but it has happened during the day. I am in bed and feel a presence in the room and feel like a heavy weight is on me. I can't move my body but can move my eyes and control my breathing. Then I fall asleep or at times it seems like nothing happened. I only remember bits and pieces like a dream things like being in water but I can breathe. One afternoon, I remember lying face down and hearing someone say, "The device resides at the base of the spine". I felt little tingled at the small of my back, no pain.

On another night years later, a presence came into my room and said "You have no idea whats in store for you tonight" then it left. During the night I awoke to the worst pain on the left side of my face. The worst part about this is I know when this is going to happen before they come. But when I get in bed I dont care and it's ok to be taken. I know I do not want this to happen and I feel like a prisoner and know there is nothing I can do, and I must go. They have taken me since the 6th grade, I'm 30 now. Being a psychic I thought it was a spirit or demon messing with me. I always felt I could handle whatever came my way. As a very small child I would follow "clear people" around the house. NOTE: The above image is a rendering. This case is under investigation by Ken Pfeifer and Jack Nicholias of MUFON New Jersey. Thanks to MUFON CMS

ATLANTIC CITY I saw a triangle on July 14, 2012, with perimeter lights sitting in Bader Field moving slowly south about 10 PM. It was moving very slow and stopped behind a translucent cloud and the lights went out and I couldnt see it anymore.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

New York Orb

ALBANY On July 15, 2012, I saw a large reddish orange object that I perceived to be burning or glowing. It was headed north towards Albany flying faster than an average plane at low altitude. It made no noise and disappeared out of sight. I have video over a minute long. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Oklahoma Triangle

Owasso -- The witness was "star gazing" July 4, 2012, at 11:30 PM, when he noticed five very bright and large orange lights moving northeast in a triangular (wedge) formation. The object emitted no sound and the witnesss brother also saw the object. The witness was convinced that the object was not a conventional aircraft. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Oregon Orb

LACONNER -- Sitting in living room I saw an orange colored orb behind the trees headed north about two miles out on July 16, 2012. It did not look like a normal aircraft since Im by a Navy Air Base. I ran in and got my camera and the object was hovering in the same position, and then started moving towards the east, I got one picture. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Texas UFO Hovers Over Harbor Bridge

Corpus Christi I was at work on July 4, 2012 at 10:30 AM, on a cloudy morning and first noticed what I thought was a plane hovering low over the harbor bridge. I then realized it was a black star shaped craft in a slow circular path hovering over our bridge. After 20 minutes, it zoomed quickly sideways and upward simply vanishing. When it did that we were able to see it was a star shape almost like a sheriffs badge. It was so huge and frightening. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Milano -- Richard West reports at 05:20 AM Saturday, 14 July, 2012, I was riding in the front seat as a passenger coming back from a gig in Brazoria, Texas. We were traveling west on State Highway 36 just out of Milano. Steve, the driver, and I saw though we saw lights on a tower but as we got closer, we realized the lights were shaped like a pentagon suspended over the road. The center of the underside of the object had the brightest light of five. The five other lights were located close to the end of each corner of the underside of the pentagon-shaped object. All the lights were white and pulsated about once a second. We could see that the dull black object had shape and a surface with seams or vents. It hovered over the road silently about 30 feet in altitude as we passed underneath going 60 mph. The object was 20 to 30 feet across. We saw it fade in the rear view mirror as we drove farther away. Thanks to Richard West

Worldwide Sightings

Australia Lights

Sydney I had a truly mind blowing experience while on vacation in Australia on January 9, 2012, at 11:30 PM. I am a UK resident that arrived at Erskineville Station to meet with a friend. As I approached the station I noticed a light in the sky that acted strangely. It flew in formation at high speed from behind a tall building; shrinking and growing in size above Erskineville. The object changed from a small triangle to a much larger one. I was in shock and fright! Thanks to MUFON CMS

PERTH Journalist Pip Moir posted a photo on July 2, 2012, that she took at Cottesloe Beach to Twitter shortly after 6 pm, as puzzled onlookers debated what caused the colorful phenomena.
Fire in the sky is thought to be a burning meteor trail that lit up the Australian sky for twenty minutes. Debris penetrating the atmosphere plunged into the Indian Ocean.

Canada Light and Cigar

PETERBOROUGH -- We saw three or more anomalies on July 10, 2012. They came in on the angle of a plane but we realized it was not blinking like a plane. It flew straight up into the sky and veered off to the northwest before it disappeared. Five minutes later a big orange oblong object climbed south. It was the size of a hot dog bun held at arms length. Five minutes later a moon like object came out of the water rising slowly at 12:45 AM. It changed to a bright orangish red too. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Niagara Falls -- Just before turning in on July 1, 2012, I went outside to look around as I will often do. I spotted a small pinkish light heading my way from the northwest flying straight about 150 mph? It looked to be only a few hundred feet above my house as it passed over. The light was brighter pink by now and appeared to pulsate slightly almost like it was a burning ball. I think I could see a missile or cigar shape with no wings or rotors visible. The light on the underside more or less obscured the actual craft. I strained to hear any sound and I may have heard a very faint hissing sound as it passed over. It continued southeast and eventually disappeared in the night sky. I've never see anything like this. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Mexic Alleged UFO Photographed Before Sandstorm

UFO preceds sandstorm

CIUDAD JUAREZ Residents claim having photographed an UFO minutes before last Fridays sandstorm, whose winds approached 90 kilometers an hour and created widespread chaos throughout the region.

Through Facebook, a photograph shot by Raquel Vargas was shared by Juan Carlos Len, showing a sort of ring suspended in the sky with at least a dozen lights.

The image was taken in Calzada del Rio, to the north of the city. "I was running an errand at a neighboring development and we heard something like a lightning bolt, but when we turned around, we saw that thing in the sky," she said.

The phenomenon was seen by several local residents. "When we left our home, in a matter of minutes, it was still in the sky and I managed to take a picture of it. Others did as well."

"There was a lot of wind and flying dirt after that, and we went away because the storm had already started," she noted.

Last Friday, the wind gusts recorded achieved speeds of up to 85 kilometers per hour, prompting a mobilization by various rescue forces. (Translation (c) 2012, Scott Corrales, Institute of Hispanic Ufology. Special thanks to Guillermo Gimenez, Planeta UFO) www.ojinagahoy.com.mx

United Kingdom England Sighting

LIVERPOOL -- On July 10, 2012, four bright footballs were seen in the sky. Two were flying close to each other with an airplane flying just in front of the two flying in formation. It was scary. Ten minutes later a helicopter was in the sky, God bless and good luck to the human race. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Earlestown -- I have filmed several UFOs lately. I reviewed an excellent film I made on 12 December 2011.

At 6-30 pm, I had just dressed and noticed an orange light flashing at 300 feet altitude a mile to west over slack heaps flying at10 mph going north. Another orange light was in sky 1000 yardsgoing SW slowly. I filmed a ufo, and noticed a very bright ''star'' to NE 3-400 yards, alt.300 feet stationary and I filmed and it began to move west slowly. It appeared to cam-cord as large orange sphere and 5-600yds.it turned on sixpence and went N 5mph.and as it went over 70-80ft. trees in woods it had dropped to 100ft.alt.and a broad beam of light emanates down onto tree tops. A minute later an airliner came directly over going south at 1200 feet altitude. Though I did not see as I filmed on my film can be seen a shiny silver sphere between me and the other alien craft, low down over fields so maybe the airplane saw both. Thanks Robert Newton, near Liverpool, UK...

Moffat I first noticed the object opposite my house, a mile away maybe, which would be just to the north-west of the town in Dumfriesshire. It was 2 am, on July17, 2012, and I had gone for a walk before going to bed. The sky was clear so this object stood out as it was moving around erratically and was a flashing. There was a green light on the object and it looked as if a beam was reflecting off the sky around it. It cannot have been a plane, due to the abrupt movements it was making.

I took a photograph of it with a telephoto lens, and downloaded to my computer and magnified some more; it looked like a wide silver object with "windows" around the edge. After half an hour, it was still there but having had a busy day I was so tired I just had to go to bed! 

The last time I saw a UFO, was in 1979 near power lines. It was about 100 feet above me and about 200 feet in diameter. It completely lit the ground around me as if it were daylight. It was about 12:15 am and I lost about an hour of time. The last things I remember was seeing the object move slowly to my left for about 200 yards, and then accelerate forward so fast that it disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Aliens? We'll probably have a close encounter this century says leading physicist who warns governments to be ready

Interesting: It's a scientific prediction that will get dollar signs pinging in Steven Spielberg's eyes: We could make contact with aliens in less than 100 years

It’s a scientific prediction that will get dollar signs pinging in Steven Spielberg’s eyes: We could make contact with aliens in less than 100 years.

But according to one of our leading physicists, it is a matter for governments – rather than Hollywood – who should start preparing for our first extra-terrestrial encounter now.

Speaking at the Euroscience Open Forum conference in Dublin, Jocelyn Bell Burnell said: ‘I do suspect we are going to get signs of life elsewhere, maybe even intelligent life, within the next century.

How well prepared are we? Have we thought of how we approach them? Should we put them in a zoo, eat them, send in GIs to bring them democracy?’

She said we are most likely to find alien life where we find rocky planets with carbon dioxide and ozone in the atmospheres. The Oxford University professor said: ‘If we do suspect there is intelligent life out there, are we going to make ourselves known to them or not?

‘There are interesting questions about who you would tell first – the Press, the Prime Minister, the Pope? We should start thinking now.’

However, she said that even if we do find signs of alien life, it is likely to take decades to talk to them from Earth via radio or lasers.

Professor Bell Burnell said: ‘Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. So you are probably talking of conversations that could take 50 or 100 years, just one way.’

Previous research has found almost half of Britons believe in little green men.

The poll of more than 2,000 men and women for the Royal Society found that 44 per cent are of the opinion extra-terrestrial life exists and more than a third of those questioned said we should be actively searching and trying to make contact with ET.

Worrying: Stephen Hawking has warned that aliens may plunder Earth for its resources

Scientists are divided about whether we should be advertising our presence to inhabitants of other planets.

Some say that if we alert hostile aliens to our existence we risk an invasion that could lead to the end of life on Earth.

They argue that if ET has the technology to cross space to reach us any defences we have will be all but useless.

And Stephen Hawking has warned that aliens may plunder Earth for its resources.

Advocating that we do everything we can to avoid contact, he said: ‘We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn’t want to meet.

‘If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans.’

In special reports, this weeks files cover: Castro Saw Alien Craft and Bodies, "Alien language" presented by CIA and Disney, Mars Mickey Mouse, C-130 Crash, Electrical Equipments Stops Working near Baltic Sea UFO and Sightings Increase.

The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force. Under Project Blue Book, the US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years; and we continue this research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO's are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Special Reports

Lets face it, most of us dont know for sure what is going on, but don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice and most important, have the courage to follow your heart and instincts

Castro Saw Alien Craft and Bodies

Jorge Martin, Puerto Rican ufologist reports that on March 29, 2012, former President of Cuba, Fidel Castro issued historical document of Reflections, entitled "The need to Enrich our Knowledge." The letter discussed several issues related to the dangers for the survival of humankind posed by the current warmongering race that some of the world powers are enforcing; and how the bearers of these actions tend to suffer from characters that lack culture and special knowledge. Interjected is the possibility of extraterrestrial life in the universe around us.

Castro stated, "When Pope John Paul II visited Cuba in 1998, I sat down to dinner with a spokesman of the Pope. I said, "I think there is a 99.9 percent chance there is intelligent life on other planets'. A European article reads, "There could be thousands of millions of planets not much larger than Earth orbiting stars in our galaxy. "Our new observations show that about 40% of the 160.000 million red dwarf stars have a 'super-Earth" orbiting in their living zone, and there may be liquid water on the surface of the planet. "

Jorge Martin, states, "In 2002, the renowned Cuban filmmaker Octavio Cortzar visited Puerto Rico and asked to meet with us at our magazine ENIGMAS Goals.

He gave me a copy of the first documentary ever made in Cuba entitled "UFOs in Cuba." Octavio Cortzar further stated since President Fidel Castro opened the door with his letter about extraterrestrial life, he would reveal more of Castros statements.

John Paul II told Castro in 1998, "The probability of life beyond Earth was a fact and discussed the observations of UFOs!"

Castro saw the reality of extraterrestrial life visiting us, when he visited the Soviet Union. Perhaps, as a result we would deviate from the path of self destruction in which we currently are on.

Fidel Castro also gave Juan Mari Bras, a pro-Puerto Rico Independence leader information about the UFO matter? What did Castro say to Attorney Juan Mari Bras, I asked Mrs. Trabal? Well-she-said, "On one occasion we were talking about the UFO subject. Fidel Castro told us, before the fall of the Soviet Union, he had traveled to the USSR and the Soviet Authorities had taken him to a military base in which there was a special laboratory, and had showed him an alien spaceship, a disk they had captured. He also saw the body of a tall extraterrestrial being they kept preserved in a special box-like machine or cryogenic freezer."

  Above: Photographic simulation of Fidel Castro's visit to the Soviet secret

Lab in which he was shown both the alien craft and the corpse of its pilot.

Juan Mari Bras had not spoken about this before because Castro had told him confidence. Juan is a person of great integrity, and would not say something like this if it not was true. Castro also told us, "The Soviets to him they knew Americans had a similar lab and research center with crafts and alien bodies."

It is likely Castro was taken to the Plesetsk Cosmodrome where the Soyuz Rocket Cosmos=3M, and Tsykon are launched and is under persistent surveillance by alien crafts. This photo was taken by security officer Ghenady Korniev Vassili Zaitsev on January 5, 1992, at the Plesetsk missile center.

The other possible missile center where the alien craft could be stored is the base of Kapushtin Yar, in Astrakhan, Volgograd. Here there are several large hangars and an underground facility with several floors, in which Russian scientists could study alien technology of captured and crashed alien spacecrafts...

Under these lines we are showing a sketch with data on some of the extraterrestrial spacecrafts that the Russian Government keeps at this research center, made by a confidential Russian source, which was delivered to Italian journalist and UFO researcher Constantino Paglialunga in 1997.

It is very possible that Fidel Castro saw the alien spaceship and the alien corpse at Kapustin Yar.

"Alien language" presented by CIA and Disney

Robbie Graham a doctoral candidate at the University of Bristol for a PhD writes, "One of the most eyebrow-raising cases of government involvement in a Hollywood UFO movie in recent years is that of Race to Witch Mountain (2009), which apparently received extensive support from the CIA albeit in an off the books capacity despite its plot drawing extensively from UFO mythology (with references both to Area 51 and Roswell) and its presentation of a sinister government UFO cover-up."

In 2010, the film's director, Andy Fickman a self-described "UFO enthusiast" born and raised in Roswell, New Mexico told me that, although he personally shaped the majority of the films UFO-related content, at least some of it was the result of CIA input." The director claims that, in a highly unusual production arrangement, he and his crew were closely assisted by an active employee of the CIA whose advice extended to designing the alien writing seen in the flying saucer during the films climactic scenes.

Despite my best efforts, Fickman has been unwilling to reveal to me the identity of his CIA advisor, but claims hes a former Air Force Technical Intelligence Officer, that he had been "very active in Hollywood," and "had a lot of connections in the computer world.

Race to Witch Mountain: inside the flying saucer

All of the on-camera alien language in terms of their spaceship and everything that was all designed by him in the sense [of what] the mathematics of communication would be, so you know...there would be a similar mathematical equation that the government probably has if they were to ever come across an alien race. So a lot of the things we ended up using were things he was bringing to me...and the next thing you know, thats what I had on screen.

The alien "language" to which Fickman refers appears onscreen in Race to Witch Mountain in the form of holographic symbols aboard the Nordic aliens flying saucer. Here are three of the most frequently recurring symbols that appear in the climactic scenes of the movie...

The question, of course, is what do these symbols mean? Besides them bearing a passing resemblance to certain crop formations (the authenticity of which is debatable), it is difficult to ascribe any significance to them beyond the fact that they were designed by an alleged CIA operative.

Has the CIA, in cooperation with Disney, presented us with real alien symbols language? If so, to what conceivable end? These symbols were frequently used in antiquity. More information on CIA involvement in Race to Witch Mountain can be found in the article UFOs and Disney: Behind the Magic Kingdom.

Disney has overseen the production and/or distribution of numerous UFO and alien-themed movies in recent times, with the best known examples including Flight of the Navigator (1986) Signs (2002), Lilo and Stitch (2002), Chicken Little (2005), Lifted(2007), I am Number Four (2011), Mars Needs Moms (2011) and the forthcoming John Carter (2012)

The Disney/UFO connection can be traced back to 1953 when the CIA-sponsored Robertson Panel recommended that the US government make efforts to strip UFOs of their "aura of mystery" through the exploitation of mass media. In this context, the panel highlighted Walt Disney Productions specifically as a potential conduit for its propaganda. The panels singling-out of Disney made sense given the animation giants then firmly established working relationship with the US government: during World War II Disney made numerous propaganda shorts for the US military, and in the 1950s corporate and government sponsors helped the company produce films promoting President Eisenhower's "Atoms for Peace" policy.

Oscar-winning Disney animator Ward Kimball Best known for creating iconic Disney characters such as Jiminy Cricket and The Mad Hatter, Kimball also worked as Directing Animator on Disney classics including Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1938) and Pinocchio (1940).

While at a MUFON symposium in 1979, Kimball claimed that the United States Air Force (USAF) had approached Walt Disney himself in the mid-1950s to request his cooperation on a documentary about UFOs that would help acclimate the American public to the reality of extraterrestrials According to Kimball, in exchange for Disneys cooperation, the USAF offered to furnish the production with genuine UFO footage Kimball claimed that Disney accepted the deal and ever faithful to Uncle Sam began work immediately on the USAF project It wasnt long, however, before the USAF reneged on its offer of UFO footage When Kimball challenged the USAF Colonel overseeing the project he was told that "there was indeed plenty of UFO footage, but that neither Kimball, nor anyone else was going to get access to it." A Disney UFO video was actually produced and shown in the South.

The Kimball case, though, seems to be at odds with the Robertson Panels recommendations, which were to debunk UFO reality through media channels, not promoting it but perhaps another faction within the military-intelligence community one with a UFO acclimation agenda had similarly recognized Disneys propagandist potential?

Lockheed's Skunk Works Confirms It's Their Bird

Plant 42 at Lockheed Martin Skunk Works

There's this website called Open Source Geoint and it has published a satellite image of one of the most secret defense plants in the country, the Air Force's Plant 42, where a handful of the top defense companies build some of the country's most highly classified aircraft and sensors.

Plant 42 houses highly classified facilities where a number of contractors, including, most famously,  Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works, where the U-2 spy plane and the F-117 were built.

Dave Majundar who writes Flight Global's the Dew Line, speculates that this aircraft "looks a lot like a RQ-170, but bigger..."He postulates that it may be a P.420, a larger plane than the so-called Beast of Kandahar," It was able to provide important help to the team that killed Osama Bin Laden.

The company states, "Lockheed Martin Skunk Works often experiments with different shapes and materials for both manned and unmanned vehicles What you see in the satellite image is one of those projects." Thanks to AOL Defense newsletter

C-130 Crash

Four members of the North Carolina Air National Guard's 145th Airlift Wing in Charlotte died when their Modular Airborne Firefighting System-equipped C-130 crashed on July 1 while fighting a woodland fire in southwestern South Dakota. Two other crewmembers were injured in the crash and hospitalized, after a one-day stand down on July 2, the Air Force's small fleet of firefighting C-130s resumed flight operations to help battle wildfires. As of early morning on July 4, these airplanes, which began operating on June 25, had conducted a total of 105 airdrops and discharged more than 270,000 gallons of fire retardant on the flames in parts of Colorado, Montana, South Dakota, and Wyoming.

Electrical Equipments Stops Working Near Baltic Sea UFO

The OceanX team exploring a UFO-shaped object at the bottom of the Baltic Sea has claimed that their electrical equipments stop working when they approach within 200 meters. Professional diver Stefan Hogerborn, who is part of the Ocean X team which is exploring the anomaly, said some of the teams cameras and the teams satellite phone would refuse to work when directly above the object, and would only work once they had sailed away.

"Anything electric out there - and the satellite phone as well - stopped working when we were above the object," the Daily Mail quoted him as saying. "And then we got away about 200 meters and it turned on again, and when we got back over the object it didnt work," he said. Diver Peter Lindberg admitted,
"We have experienced things that I really couldnt imagine and I have been the team's biggest skeptic regarding these different kind of theories, I was kind of prepared just to find a cliff or outcrop or pile of mud but it was nothing like that, so for me it has been a missing experience I must say," he said

"I am one hundred percent convinced and confident that we have found something in May of last year that is very, very, very unique," member Dennis Asberg said.

There are perfectly straight lines and angles embedded into the smooth structure and a diver is photographed at lower right.

The lines can be made by natural causes, but they look very man made.The grooves are about 1-1.5 meter wide and 0.5-1.5 meters deep. The disc has a completely circular plate-like exterior, 180 meters in circumference. Object is 200 foot across mushroom shaped comprising a thick pillar rising eight meters out of the seabed with a four meter thick dome on top rising a total of 12 meters (approx 40 feet) high above the surrounding seabed

There are visible formations on top of the object, which are set at a 90 degree angle and look like passageways or walls, as well as something that looks like it could be a staircase. There are visible formations on top of the object, which are set at a 90 degree angle and look like passageways or walls, as well as something that looks like it could be a staircase.

There are stone circles, like "fireplaces" of hard black "almost petrified" burnt looking stone each a few inches in diameter, like 4 or 5 pearls in a necklace in various arrangements on top of the dome. It might be a meteorite, or the base from a U-boat, - or a UFO?

"The Ocean X team did get some pictures, such as these soot-covered rocks that encircled an egg-shaped hole which went into the object at its centre, and have no idea what any of it means. There is a long 985-foot runway, skid marks, or a downhill path that is flattened at the seabed with the object at the end of it.

A SECOND Anomaly saw found.....

The second anomaly

Some 200 meters away is yet to be explored! The initial side scan sonar images show something shaped like a "gothic church window." It is similar to the larger object and also has a disturbed seafloor area leading up to it, or what could be a ridge. The divers were so amazed by the main anomaly that they simply didnt have time to dive on the second one. The return trip in two weeks time should present an opportunity for this to finally be explored. The sonar picture of the unidentified object resembles the famed Star Wars ship the Millennium Falcon. They have no way of telling what is inside the object whether it is filled with gold and riches or simply aged sediment particles.

Phoenix -- Sam Maranto MUFON Illinois State Director walks us through some amazing footage shot by Rob Kritkausky northwest of AZ.

The footage was recorded on August 19, 2004. - HD 720p - http://www.ufoweeklynews.com/

California Cylinder

Santa Clarita On July 1, 2012, we each saw directly ahead between the trees four extremely bright lights.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Sylmar On July 8, 2012, we were sitting outside when my sister looked up and saw a rotating object in the sky that seemed to be falling. She said "Look, is that a plane falling?" I became a bit nervous as it seemed to be falling. I ran inside to get my husband who came out with his camera and we saw a second similar object. The first one began to go higher towards the mountains. The second object followed the same pattern like the first one, stopping, rotating, and then ascending in the same direction. A third object much longer looking zoomed in the same direction as the first object. It was too fast to be captured on camera. After 15 to 20 minutes, the two objects came closer to each other. The objects just disappeared.

Colorado Bluish-White Lights

Sylmar -- I took this on the night of June 30, 2012 hovering just west of the Central Colorado Rockies. It resembled two hovering field lights in a row Sylmar and Santa Clarita over Interstate 5 in the New Hall Pass.

The bright white is a star is Spica, but I do not know what the dots are nor the blue object that morphs into different shapes, Thanks for your updates one of the best out there!

COLORADO SPRINGS -- I just opened your last file and wondered if you saw/heard of this sighting.

This was sent to me by John McGinnis who is re-opening his Tesla museum close to where Tesla has his lab in 1899. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=jJXAjYlE4iI

Kind regards, Curtis

Georgia Light

Valdosta On July 7, 2012, I was outside taking still shots of a rainbow with my Cyber shot camera. I never noticed the object with the naked eye, but saw it when I uploaded to my computer. The object was just in one frame of the shots that I took.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Acworth -- My Mom and daughter reported seeing three objects moving at a slow pace a UFO on July 4, 2012.

The objects appeared to shoot up in the sky and took a photo before it disappeared.

Note: It is difficult to tell from the photo what are unknowns. The largest light could be a street light or a reflection. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Indiana Three Lights

Portage On July 4, 2012, at 10:30 PM, in the first video I was just pulling over and I dont know if my camera was focused correctly. The first two pictures were a little blurry. In the rest of the videos the objects are a white. In the video they were fiery pulsating and amber balls plus they looked a little bigger heading northwest. The video was on the Fox News, Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Iowa Lights

WATERLOO -- My husband and I went outside after 9 pm, on July 3, 2012, when I heard him say, "Something above us looks odd." I looked up and right overhead was a silently flying vehicle heading northwest. It had four perfectly spaced lights that were larger than those of higher flying planes. The lights were perfectly spaced apart and flashing slowly. This "square object" was about the size of a quarter while planes were the size of a small felt-tipped marker. The strange craft had lights the size of pencil eraser heads and definitely larger and not as bright or strobe- We live a few miles from a small engine aircraft airport. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Massachusetts Orange Fireballs Over Cape Cod Bay

Yarmouthport -- One bright orange sphere was seen over Cape Cod Bay on July 2, 2012, moving south up Wharf Lane heading towards Lewis Bay at a fast steady speed. Two bright orange spheres rose above Sandy Neck about 15 minutes apart. Each sphere rose into the air above Cape Cod Bay, and lasted less than a minute, and then went out. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Michigan Sun Dog

Howell -- Doug Parrish writes, "The sighting along I-94 near Kalamazoo is suspect, the "second sun" to the left of the real sun is most likely situated at 22.5 that is normally called a "sun dog," i.e. a refraction of the sunlight through a high-level of ice crystals in the upper atmosphere. In perfect viewing conditions, there would also be one on the right at the same degree of separation. I see them often in my part of SE Lower Michigan. They are a natural occurrence.

Thanks Doug Parrish

Missouri Lights

INDEPENDENCE -- We were celebrating with fireworks when my 10 year old Aaron said, "Whats that?" I saw what I now have to say was a UFO. We saw two of the exact same objects flying in formation at a steady speed. By the time I got my video camera it was traveling away from us. I got some pretty good video of them with me zooming in and out and trying to keep them both in picture. They stayed in formation as they traveled east out of sight I live about a mile from the old airport. Strangest unexplainable thing we have ever seen.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

ST. LOUIS -- I have attached a couple of my over 1,000 pictures of what started my fascination with this phenomenon that I never believed in until last October.

Montana Mutilated Cow

Polson -- A strangely mutilated cow found dead southwest of Polson has launched an investigation by the Lake County Sheriffs Department on June 27, 2012. Deputies were notified of the killing Saturday, but from the level of decomposition, the adult cow was likely killed Wednesday, said Dan Yonkin, Lake County undersheriff.

What is being described as a non-natural death occurred in the Valley View area, which is an area that is home to many cattle ranches in Lake County? Some of the meat from the animal had been cut off and some of the organs removed. A local veterinarian responded to the ranch to perform a necropsy on the animal, and samples collected from the necropsy were sent to a Colorado lab for further investigation.

Yonkin said, "Its an odd thing, and we initially suspected animal predation, but weve ruled that out and it appears it is human caused." The cow was among a herd when the unusual killing took place.

Yonkin said, the Sheriffs Department is methodically going through the details of the incident and will continue to investigate until the answers to the mystery are found.

"Our concern is we dont want to see more of these," Yonkin said, "I wouldnt want ranchers to be concerned every night when they go to bed that when they wake up their cows will have been killed in their pasture."

Anyone with information about the cow death is encouraged to contact Crime stoppers at (406) 883-7309Ranchers experiencing any similar situations should contact the sheriffs office.

Note: Anyone with information about this mutilation is urged to send a comment. A few weeks ago a rancher in the Polson area reported to me that someone had killed one of his cows and had mutilated it. It is rare for authorities to investigation cattle mutilations.

New Jersey Flying Object

BRIGATINE -- On June 16, 2012, at 9:45 pm, while sitting on a balcony at the Jersey shore I observed coming from the north what I thought was a plane. Soon I realized that what I saw was quickly changing directions, and moving faster than a plane. I observed the object going to the northeast near the Big Dipper Constellation. I watched for 55 seconds, and know my eyes were not playing tricks on me. I stared at this thing move out into space and get smaller. Others must have seen it. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Cherry Hill -- My daughter and I witnessed a stationary daylight object in the sky on July 6, 2012, at 6:30 PM. I was driving on Route 38 past the Cherry Hill Mall when my daughter pointed out a hovering object. As we drove, it was periodically obscured by trees. My daughter thought it was rectangular, but I saw a dull gray triangle. It was difficult for me to keep my eyes on it since I was driving. When we stopped at a red light, a driver in the next lane had to slam on their brakes, which made me wonder if the driver was watching it too. When we turned around the jug handle on Route 38, the object was no longer in site. It was not a blimp, balloon, nor aircraft. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Princeton --While out shopping on July 10, 2012, I was observing the beautiful clouds in the sky. I snapped two photos with my cell phone camera: one at 3:04 pm and another at 3:06 PM both facing north. After downloading the photos to my computer, I noticed a strangely-shaped, dark object in front of one of the puffy white clouds on the first photo. The object is not on the second photo. I have no idea what the object was. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Oregon Lights

MEDFORD On July 6, 2012, I had my first UFO sighting while lying on my bed. Out my window I saw an orange orb moving slowly and silently. I got out my phone and to get a shot of the object. It was an orange orb about 200 feet away from my window.

Note: The orange orb appears to have four lights in the extracted still image. The object appears to be rotating in the video Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Washington Light

Seattle On July 4, 2012, during fireworks a very reddish orange light flew higher and higher then faded out as it headed south. It kept going and many people saw it near the fireworks and even in other states. It was nothing from this world.
At first I thought it was a firework that exploded, but then it flew higher and north fast for about three minutes until it faded and went out. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Worldwide Sightings

Canada Orb

Orillia, Ontario -- On July 1st, 2012, after watching the concert at Burls Creek Family Campground we set up overnight camp. It was about 11:45 PM, on July 1, 2012, when I witnessed three brilliant round orange UFOs. Two were much more distant moving south very slow. Then a third one came across much closer above moving east. Within five seconds, I immediately pulled out my camera to capture the moment on video mode. There was pulsation of brightness coming from this brilliant orange round swirling object. It had a fluid-like movement. It was really an extraordinary show in the sky for five minutes. The next morning I talked with a Parks Ground keeper and he also witnessed the three objects. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Chile Research

Region IV, Regional Research has devised a method to capture flying objects that the human eye cannot see, because they do not reflect the light. For many years there has been talk that the Elqui Valley is a prime location for the sighting of UFOs. There are dozens of stories and many mysterious pictures, not to mention the case of an alleged flying saucer that crashed into a Paihuano hill. There are also many more UFOs flying over the hills, that are invisible to the naked eye? This was discovered by regional researcher Patricio Diaz, who years ago noticed that the photos you took to elquinos landscapes, strange forms appeared after daylight, of which no one realized at the time.

Patricio Diaz thought quickly to take photos with two cameras; one a standard camera and an infrared camera. Infrared is a type of light you cannot see. Our eyes can only see what we call visible light. Infrared light gives us special information that we cannot get from visible light. It shows how much heat something has and gives information about the temperature of an object. Everything has some heat and radiates infrared light. Even those we think are very cool. Patricio Diaz says, "My profession is an electronic technician and I worked to change the camera, the software, shutter speed, and I use a polarizing filter." It was a long process and managed to save these objects," said Diaz. He was shooting in places like Pisco Elqui, El Molle, Vicua and Paihuano. "We achieved very interesting and good results. I used the second camera to have a comparison of what I was recording in infrared. If it appeared as a bird or an insect we can discern if the object is passing fast and blurred.

In contrast, the other objects were in the focal plane of the hill, shot 4 or 5 miles and the object looked sharp and movements that did were very interesting. They stopped in the air so it cannot be a meteorite. Diaz has spent 25 years devoted to UFO research and these strange aerial phenomena were captured in the Elqui Valley in broad daylight.

Case Paihuano was forever on the map of world ufology on October 7, 1998, when a dozen people witnessed the crash of a reddish fireball UFO against the Cerro Las Mollacas. The case is still under investigation and has been dubbed the "Chilean Roswell." Thanks to Institute of Hispanic Ufology for the photo and Patricio Diaz.

Denmark Light

Copenhagen -- I was sitting on my balcony on July 1, 2012, when I saw two red lights flying north faster than planes, side by side. They disappeared, and then two other lights passed in the sky. I tried to take pictures and shoot a video but they were blurred due to the speed of the moving objects. Two light couples passed by in few minutes. The last light couple disbanded: one going straight, the other vanishing. The speed was far faster than a plane; and there was no noise. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Germany Orb

BERLIN -- A friend and I were trying to make some photos from the Berlin television tower of a golden object. I saw an object at very high altitude on February 15, 2012, it moved slowly to the right and then to the left, but most of the time it seemed to be stationary. I zoomed in on this object and took some photos of it. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Pakistan Lights

Faisalabad On July 1, 2012, I saw flashing lights in the sky. We used to sleep on the roof and frequently saw flashing lights in the sky not caused by lightning. The flashing lights come up while the stars are in the sky. Ive seen over 500 lights and this happened daily. I was able to get friends to take photos of the lights.

The lights are high sharp lights which enlightened the whole surrounding area like daylight for 1 to 2 seconds. We have assumed some ufos are studying our family and taking snaps with their own cameras. Most of the people of the city have also seen these objects as well. We couldn't open our eyes because there was too much sparkling in our eyes. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Puerto Rico Thin Line

Camuy -- This morning on July 1, 2012, around 4:30 AM, I went to the kitchen and looked at a real big bright star that caught my attention. I went outside and saw this thin straight white line going northwest across the sky in a horizontal position. There was no sound at it passed by, so I kept looking at it until it disappeared. This straight white line was traveling without stopping or changing its shape. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

South Africa Fast Moving Light

Heidelberg -- I am a South African and was on my way to the coast for vacation on July 1, 2012, at 6:25 AM. I saw the light approaching a toll gate 80 km south of Heidelberg. My Dad said that it was a shooting star but it did not have the streak or tail you usually see and was unusually close to the ground. I have been to a lot of air shows so it was no jet. Thanks to Hay H and Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

UK England Disc

SOUTH HAMPSHIRE -- I am going to tell you now about a UK case that is the best of its kind anywhere in the world ever that occurred in August 2011. Everything has also been thoroughly examined by the editor of the Flying Saucer Review, Britains oldest UFO journal to which our Royal Family even subscribes and has done since it started the late 50's. I have tried to tell the media but they arent interested.

It's enough to make one think that smoking gun evidence about aliens and UFO's is somehow taboo. The witness was bathed in colored light as he filmed this object. There were two of these originally, until its companion flew off, leaving this one to put on its fabulous display..

All the photos have been enlarged for ease of viewing and are not objects close to the lens and have been professionally examined and are original images. I know the people involved who are senior in age, really nice, humble, simple folk and good family friends of me and my partner. They know little about computers but are definitely in contact with an alien race. There is no doubt about it. I would wager the entire contents of my home on it. They seek to remain anonymous and do not seek money.

The contacts have included numerous detailed UFO photo opportunities, a face-to-face meeting with Nordic-type aliens in a highly remote woodland clearing, and various abductions by small fawn-colored beings. These contactees have been keen ufologists, active in the field for more than 40 years, out sky watching several times a week in all weathers

One of the witnesses was abducted on Dragon Hill, Wiltshire and taken while holding his camera. Whilst on board he was allowed to obtain images of the alien beings, and other shots, and was returned together with his camera. The other witness even has shots of an unidentified planet, and many space shots showing nebula's, galaxies etc, that even one of the UK's top astronomers was left stunned and in his 21 years of studying the sky, he said had never come across anything like it. The images even rival those taken by the Hubble Space telescope.

I wrote to NASA of course about this. They refused to answer me. The downside to all of this is the witnesss burns and scars left from over exposure to the craft and their environments, together with what are believed to be medical experiments performed on them. The witness claims that he has also fathered children on board the alien craft which he is occasionally invited to go and see. Special thanks to Ken Parsons Researcher and Ufologist.

Nat Geo’s Chasing UFOs: Two of the Stars Say the Show was Hijacked

By Robert Hastings www.ufohastings.com 7-11-12

     “I know how disappointed all of you are. I am too. It’s not the show that was sold to both myself and scientist Ben…[It] does get a bit better further down the road but not a lot.” —James Fox

“James and I both had expectations and (for our own reasons) hopes of an ultimately serious product. We both saw the project heading in a different direction as time went on and were powerless to influence it.” —Dr. Ben McGee

My last article on this website, Nat Geo’s Chasing UFOs: Investigation as Farce, roundly criticized the format and content of the new reality series currently being aired on the National Geographic channel. Having meticulously investigated UFO activity at nuclear weapons sites for 39 years—utilizing declassified U.S. government documents and the testimony of more than 130 military veterans—I was appalled by the ridiculous thrashing around in the dark and superficial-to-non-existent analysis by the trio of “investigators” offered up in the program’s first three episodes.

I was/am concerned that public and scientific perceptions about the UFO phenomenon, and those who actually research it, will be very negatively impacted as a result of Chasing UFO’s pretend-investigation approach to the subject. God knows there already exists a pervasive perception, at least in some quarters, that there is no “there” there. Therefore, this crap was the last thing that I, or anyone who wishes to learn the facts about UFOs, needed to see on their TV screens.

Out of a sense of fair play, upon posting the article I emailed one of the show’s stars, filmmaker James Fox—whose previous two UFO documentaries I loved—and notified him that I had just publicly trashed him and his current project. To his credit, he took my very harsh but accurate criticism in stride and, in response, subsequently offered some mostly-apologetic commentary on UFO researcher, journalist, and best-selling author Leslie Kean’s Facebook site:


Shortly thereafter, a second member of the Chasing UFOs trio, Dr. Ben McGee, added his own input. Both comments appear below and, as of this moment, over 40 other individuals have been added their views to the very influential blog.

James Fox said: I know how disappointed all of you are. I am too. It's not the show that was sold to both myself and scientist Ben. Two months into it, we were off to a great start; good locations, solid witnesses and some opportunities for Ben to apply his field research as a geologist at some crash sites. Very exciting stuff. Unfortunately, when we actually got out in the field we began to realize that they were more interested in poking around a night than allocating the time necessary during the day as apparently (so we were told) Americans love watching others sneak around at night from the comfort of their couches. Ben and I reluctantly played along...and it wasn't always bad. We really set up field maps and surveillance at the Roswell crash site (with a slew of high tech gear) and ran out of daylight. As it was in the middle of nowhere we all decided to work through the night and did find something...there were other cases in the show where when witnesses claimed to see strange lights appear in certain areas and that too made some sense for us to go out at night...but for the most part it was gratuitous night time boloney. As far as the title, it was UFO Investigations until they switched it to Chasing UFOs after it was all shot and edited. So with a lack of control in the field and zero in post the show is what it is. Having said that, all my previous works are circulating Nat Geo headquarters and I've been influencing and establishing contacts in the mainstream (middle america mainstream) and will continue to do so and I will only return if I'm on as a producer all the way through to the end. Will it ever be I Know What I Saw or Leslie's great work...? No, but I'll do my best to make is a credible while entertaining as possible (as that's most important to Nat Geo). I promise I'll either quit or change my position within the show because at least I can make it all make some sense. The show does get a bit better further down the road but not a lot. Please bare with me a bit longer as I've jumped into the lions den to see what I could do from the inside. My credibility and reputation has, deservedly, taken a serious hit but know that I'm hoping to come out with an opportunity that otherwise wouldn't have presented itself. Fingers crossed. James

Ben McGee said: Greetings, all - James asked me to chime in as well. When we were brought onboard, the project certainly had a much harder inclination than its final realization, and as a career scientist I was excited that NatGeo was at the helm (unaware of their desire for a major shift in programming flavor). Our intentions were very sincere, and the project working title was even more serious than James remembers: Sightings Investigated. For my own part, while personally unconvinced of any extraterrestrial visitation, I had plans to provide insightful context that I thought viewers of all stripes would appreciate and find engaging - examples of spaceflight technology, astronomy, planetary science - helping anchor the show and explain why the scientific establishment supports the possibility of extraterrestrial life yet is unconvinced of extraterrestrial visitation either now or in the distant past. We filmed much of this content, but as you no doubt noticed, the great majority was ultimately not included. Apparently, such is television. James and I both had expectations and (for our own reasons) hopes of an ultimately serious product. We both saw the project heading in a different direction as time went on and were powerless to influence it. Injecting science into mainstream media is also problematic, and I am suffering heat in my own circles for the lack thereof on the show. I will personally vouch that James's motives were true, and if anyone is interested in the science that we did perform, I’m keeping a blog on the NatGeo website (linked below).

Cheers, Ben tvblogs.nationalgeographic.com/author/benmcgee

END OF POSTS

My own opinion, expressed in great detail in my first a article on this subject, is that the fix was in from the get-go and neither Fox, McGee nor Erin Ryder (the trio’s third member) had any real chance of influencing or altering the ridiculous outcome.

Indeed, the Nat Geo network’s track record on UFO “documenataries” speaks for itself. As I wrote in the other article, “Over the years I had told several people, only half-jokingly, that if the Nat Geo scripts were not actually written at CIA headquarters, the network was at least making the agency very happy by broadcasting its poorly researched, extremely biased, essentially propagandistic shows on the UFO subject.”

Those comments were specifically directed toward Nat Geo’s other new UFO program, The Truth Behind UFOs: Popped, a true-to-form debunking exercise—only the latest of many—which aired the night before the premier of Chasing UFOs. Given the absurd ambiance offered by latter, I suppose I can now add, “Not to mention making otherwise serious people who sincerely wish to investigate the phenomenon look like fools.”

ROSWELL: Battelle Scientist Confesses To UFO Crash Debris Analysis

ROSWELL DEBRIS CONFIRMED AS EXTRATERRESTRIAL:

Lab Located, Scientists Named!

By Anthony Bragalia
© 5-26-09/2012

     Newly discovered documents reveal that in the months immediately following the purported 1947 UFO crash at Roswell, secret government studies began on a material that was previously unknown to science. The "memory metal" that was studied precisely matches some of the debris material reported by several witnesses to the crash. Evidence shows that -under military direction- these unique metal studies were undertaken by a contracted laboratory that possessed advanced technical capabilities that the U.S. government itself did not have at the time. A former high-level scientist employed by the involved laboratory has offered a confession that he was tasked to study the crashed UFO material. Information provided by two U.S. Air Force Generals also offers direct support for this discovery.

The documents suggest that after the crash, the US government attempted to develop a unique material that is today referred to as memory metal. This shape-recovery alloy was reported by several witnesses to the Roswell crash in the summer of 1947. The lightweight "morphing" material was able to be crumpled or deformed and then return itself instantly and seamlessly to its original state. The metallurgical discoveries that resulted from these studies were then "seeded" for further technology development to other government agencies (including NASA) and through a series of military contracts to universities and industry.

WRIGHT PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE

&

THE BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTE

The laboratory contracted by Wright Patterson Air Force Base to perform these studies was Battelle Memorial Institute in Columbus, OH. It has been credibly reported that Wright Patterson Air Force Base was the very base where the Roswell UFO debris was flown after the crash.

Recently obtained documents reveal that these studies for Wright Patterson were conducted at Battelle under the direction of Dr. Howard C. Cross. In the late 1940's, H.C Cross was Battelle's expert scientist in exotic metallurgy and Titanium alloy research.

Curiously –although he was a research metallurgist- Cross was also Battelle’s "point person" in later studies on UFOs that Battelle conducted in the early 1950's for the U.S. Air Force's official UFO study, Project Bluebook. Cross is likely an author of Project Bluebook's still-missing Report Number 13. He is also the author of a strange letter from Battelle to Wright Patterson known as "The Pentacle" memo. Dr. Cross' historic role will be detailed in a forthcoming article.

Founded in 1929, Battelle is engaged in research, development and commercialization of technological innovation. They specialize in materials science and engineering, life sciences, energy science and national security. Battelle contract operates many of our country's National Laboratories. This includes some of the U.S.'s most sensitive installations such as Oak Ridge, Lawrence Livermore and Brookhaven laboratories. Battelle is headquartered in proximity to Wright Patterson- and remains one of the nation's leading defense contractors. Their metallurgical capabilities and technical talent continue to be recognized as world-class.

The General's Widow: A Roswell Tell-All

Monday, January 18, 2010

By Anthony Bragalia
The UFO Iconoclast(s)
1-6-10

     Captivating and credible testimony recently obtained from the elderly widow of a highly-placed U.S. Air Force General reveals that the Roswell crash of 1947 was in fact an extraterrestrial event. Her confession affirms that the true nature of the wreck has been shrouded in secrecy for decades- even from those at the highest levels of government.

Her husband, General Harry Nations Cordes, who possessed Top Secret/SCI clearance, was uniquely positioned to be "in the know" on such matters. Perhaps no other military man in history can lay claim to having been stationed at Roswell Army Air Field in July of 1947; later with Wright Patterson Air Force Base; to have worked at Area 51; been employed by the CIA; to have acted as Deputy Chief of Staff at Intelligence Headquarters for the Strategic Air Command (SAC) and still later to have led many intelligence functions at the Pentagon.

The Cordes story is a telling one- and leaves little doubt that what fell from the skies to the desert floor in New Mexico six decades ago was not from Earth.

The General
Harry Cordes graduated from Emory University in Atlanta, GA and received an MBA from the George Washington University in Washington, DC. Shortly after the outbreak of WWII, duty called and Harry enlisted in the Army Air Force, graduating first in his class at navigation school. There, his love of flying developed and he was accepted for flight training as a pilot. Spanning over four decades, Cordes' career involved him in many historical events. He flew over 25 types of different planes. He flew combat and reconnaissaince missions in Europe, the Pacific, and Vietnam. Gary Powers, who gained global attention during the height of the Cold War, served under Cordes.Cordes was a U-2 pilot and was the first human to fly in a space suit. Cordes saw action in the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missille Crisis and the A-Bomb tests at Bikini Atoll. He served at the highest level of decision-making for many of the nation's most confidential matters, including "Star Wars" - the Strategic Defense Initiative.

Time at Roswell
In 1947 Cordes was stationed at Roswell (RAAF) as a Radar Operator. It was there that he met he met Rogene, his future wife. Rogene's father's cattle and sheep ranch was adjacent to the Roswell crash site. It is Rogene Cordes with whom this author has had extensive dialogue over several months. It is Rogene Cordes -the General's widow- who felt compelled in the winter of her life to now tell all about what she and her husband knew about the Roswell crash and its history-making implications.

Their Roswell Story

Both Rogene and Harry were well aware of the crash of a "flying disk" at the time of its occurence in the summer of 1947. As Roswell residents at the time, they read the papers and they personally knew many of the involved principals. But it was not until the 1980s when the Roswell story was brought back into the public eye that they began to discuss the meaning of the event and the truth of what has crashed there. Rogene recounts that she knew her husband knew much about the incident. She too wanted to know what really had happened.

Rogene told me that she used every tool she could to get him to talk. This included what she called "beauty" and "pillow talk" to coax him to reveal more about what he knew about the crash. Harry told her that he was not physically at the base the week of the crash and that he was on travel during that time period. She hints that she did not believe that he told her all that he knew. When she pressed him further he told her, "many of the guys there knew what had really happened. But it was a matter of duty to country to never talk." Finally, after repeated attempts, Harry told her, "I was a radar operator at RAAF as you know. The object was flying and it was unidentified. The machine was tracked by White Sands radar and those folks didn't know what the hell was happening." She pressed further. She said, "Just tell me, was it a balloon?" Harry replied, "It was no balloon. Jesse Marcel told the truth. But if I tell you the details you will never view life the same." He beseeched her to ask no more. But she did. Harry blurted out, "Rogene, if I tell you...I will have to kill you." She thought he was joking. But Harry was not laughing.

Much later Rogene much decided to approach her by-then retired husband on the Roswell matter more assumptively. She asked him directly, "Where do they keep the craft honey, at Area 51?" She knew of course that he had worked at the Nevada Test Site for some time. He told her that it was not stored there. "Maybe at one time it was at Wright Patt, in off-limits area."

Still later Rogene brought up the issue with her husband, remembering that he was in the CIA at one time. She asked him, "What did you learn about the crash when you were at the CIA?" The last thing he would utter on the matter to her was, "When I went to work for the CIA one of the first things that I did was to look for the Roswell file. I know it exists, but it was missing. Either that or they were hiding it from me."

Rogene told me that "I know that he wondered his whole life why there was a coverup- why they would not tell the people."

Though Harry Cordes was sparse in details about Roswell, he would tell her more general stories about UFOs that were encountered during his time in service. He told his family (including both of his daughters) that at one time when he was flying at 70,000 feet (the highest anyone has ever flown up to that time) he had personally witnessed what he said, "could only have been an alien craft."

Rogene's Roswell Secrets
Rogene, born and raised outside Roswell, NM, grew up on a ranch. She was employed at a Roswell bank in the summer of 1947. Rogene knew many of the people in the community whose names today are well-known in relation to the Roswell crash.
She spoke cryptically of Butch Blanchard, who was Commander of RAAF at the time of crash, "Butch was a believer." She states that she knew he had told "all the guys involved at the base" (many of whom she and her husband entertained at their home with dinners, card games and BBQ's) to say nothing of the crash event. Whenever she brought up the subject with the "military fellows" she was met with stoney silence. She said to me, "Anyone who wanted to stay in the military simply didn't talk about it! It was their patriotic duty to not say much and to not ask too many questions." She also knew Blanchard's wife at the time, Ethel. She believes that Ethel was emotionally distressed over her husband Butch's involvement in the retrieval- and that it may well have contributed to their eventual divorce.

Rogene lived just a few doors down from Roswell Sheriff George Wilcox and his wife, Inez. Rogene even today does not like to talk about the Wilcox involvement, "George Wilcox and Inez were threatened and were afraid for their own reasons. They really did not want to ever discuss it, not even to talk about it with their friends. George changed after all of that."

Though Rogene is unsure about the totality of the truth of embalmer and undertaker Glenn Dennis' Roswell tales, she said that she went to high school with Glenn. She knew him to be "on the straight and narrow." But one story he told she knows was true. The day after the Roswell crash Rogene was trying to get ice for the soda and beer for the holiday weekend. She made the "usual rounds" for ice, including at Clardy's- the general store in town. She was told that Roswell base personnel had already been in and that "they cleared out all the ice, they bought it all." She then went to the train station, where dry ice could be purchased. To her amazement, she was told that the Roswell base personnel had already been there too and "had bought it all out." Rogene felt that the entire town had it's entire supply of ice and dry ice depleted. This had never happened before or since the crash weekend. Later, when Glenn told about the need for ice to help preserve the bodies from the crash, she "put two and two together."

Most interestingly, Rogene confirms that there were military cordons around surrounding ranch lands to the crash site. With her own eyes she saw "military men with guns at their sides" who would not let people pass. Their paths were diverted away from the area. Later she also overheard talk at the bank "from early-rising ranchers" about long trucks covered in canvas going to the base.

Finally, she explained that she knew Walter Haut well. Haut was the public information officer at the Roswell Army Air Field who issued the story of a "flying disk" that had fallen near Roswell. Rogene believed that the original story issued was the true story. The news story was recanted the following day. She said, "I know Walter finally confessed that it was not from Earth at the end of his life. Walter finally told the truth."

The woman from Roswell -the General's widow- had cleared her conscious. She concluded her conversations with me, "Harry died in 2004. He didn't want to say everything he could have. But I feel better telling what I know. People should know. And now they will. Roswell really happened."

"Chasing UFOs" and "Dirty Secrets" - The National Geographic Channel

(See the previous two postings for more on Chasing UFOs.)

The second episode of Chasing UFOs on the National Geographic Channel, "Dirty Secrets," was one of the most paranoid and absurd pieces of supposedly non-fiction TV that I have ever seen. Apparently the military has constructed an underground base just outside Fresno, CA (not recently, but about 60 years ago), and uses it to conduct secret research on alien technology, and perhaps the aliens themselves. And you thought that all secret UFO activity was in New Mexico or Nevada! The rich agricultural areas surrounding Fresno are probably home to more cows than people, and the generally flat terrain of the San Joaquin Valley is poorly-suited for hiding secret government stuff. But that hasn't stopped the area from becoming a local UFO Hotspot.

One woman identified only as "Sarah" and photographed only in shadows, says she has been followed and harassed since she began investigating local UFO activity. Justin and Eva Moncrief claim to have seen a UFO crash near their house, and saw a  caravan of trucks go to the crash site. Justin says he has been "followed," too. We are repeatedly shown a white van apparently slinking away when observed, it supposedly is the harassing vehicle. Later they photograph it so clearly that the license plate has to be blocked out while it is on screen. It would be trivially easy for any law enforcement agency to identify this vehicle and its owner, should any of those who claimed to be harassed actually file a complaint. I suspect that if that were done, we would find the van to be rented to Chasing UFOs' production crew, and its driver to be one of its employees, since he seems to always appear on cue. Ryder later says that she looked up the license plate, "but couldn't find anything conclusive here." What is that supposed to mean? Here is a clear example of how the UFO Chasers don't want to investigate and reach a conclusion. Instead, they leave the evidence they gather on the table, and walk away.

the FLIR mobile training unit

How to investigate the alleged UFO crash? It's time to stumble around in the dark some more, this time assisted by a FLIR mobile infrared unit. (According to the company website, this is a mobile "training unit" only.) The FLIR was used to look for warm spots in the area that might supposedly represent UFO debris. Or else outcroppings of bedrock. On go the prosthetic neck braces with lights and cameras, and off they go again, Blair Witch style, with metal detector and Geiger counter. Apparently they think it's easier to find UFO crash debris in the dark than in daylight. However, they soon spot a vehicle farther up the hill. Convinced they are being followed, Ryder decides they should "call it a night." "It wasn't worth taking any chances." There was no attempt to investigate the vehicle, or look for crash debris later, in daylight. This whole crash site investigation was staged for drama, not to seriously gather any information.

Next was a visit to UFOlogist Jeffrey Gonzales, who is the State Section Director for MUFON, a fact they don't mention. He, too, says he is being followed, and has surrounded his house with a multitude of security cameras. He might attract less attention if he didn't park his truck, covered with UFO emblems and murals, right in his driveway. Gonzales is convinced that there is an underground military base north of Fresno that studies alien technology, possibly just beyond the levees of the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District. "This levee sits up over the houses" - as indeed it must if it is to provide flood protection - "so it's a beautiful spot to hide something." The white van puts in another appearance.

So they decide it's Blair Witch time once again; they start out in daylight, but soon Ben and Ryder are rappelling down a canyon, in the dark with their "prosthetic" protrusions, to set up a camera on top the ridge on the other side. We never learn if the camera recorded anything. They later rendezvous on a bridge over the canyon, which I assume could have been crossed earlier to eliminate the need for rock climbing in the dark.

Meanwhile James and Jeff, also stumbling in the dark in their prosthetics, appear to be trespassing by climbing over a tall fence, which has a sign that cannot be read, because it has been blanked out. It probably says something like "No Trespassing, Property of Fresno Flood Control District." There they enter an impressively large tunnel, but sealed off and leading nowhere. "We found evidence of an underground facility!" It was later acknowledged that the tunnel was constructed as part of a hydroelectric project. "But they could also be used to access underground bases," according to Ryder.

Next is a visit with Manuel Amparano, who claimed to have a Close Encounter with a UFO on May 13, 1978 when he was a police officer. Tim Printy points out that there is a discussion of the Amparano sighting in  his SUNlite Webzine (Vol. 2, No. 4, p. 9). It occurred within two minutes of a known rocket launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base, a launch visible for hundreds of miles. I'm practically certain that's what Amparano saw; he said the object was "rising." He claims to have been "sunburned" by it, but of course it's perfectly possible he was sunburned in the normal manner the previous day, and attributed it to the "UFO." The UFO Chasers borrow for investigation the flashlight and jacket Amparano had on that night. They tested them, and found nothing unusual. James Fox proclaims Amparano's testimony to be "bulletproof." Nobody's testimony rises to that level.

The program reaches the utter heights of absurdity when, because one couple got a blurry photo of a "UFO" near the airport, the UFO Chasers decide that their next episode of stumbling in the dark should take place in the vicinity of the Fresno Airport. (One anonymous commenter identified this location as 3770 North Pierce Avenue, Fresno, CA; put that address into Street View of Google Maps, and you'll see that's probably correct.)  Ryder walks right up to the airport perimeter fence wearing her ungainly prosthetics, and at one point actually begins to climb the fence!  Here is the clearest proof that we are seeing staged incidents, and not actual investigations. Can you imagine the call from an airport security guard to headquarters? "Boss, there's a woman wearing these strange protrusions with cameras and lights, and she's trying to climb the perimeter fence!" In the real world, she would have immediately been arrested for trespassing, then interrogated for days to uncover any links to terrorist organizations. But in the TV Fantasy world of UFO Chasers, the guard shines a flashlight in her direction, a military helicopter takes off and circles her position, then she rejoins the others who hide under a tree, and the authorities lose all interest in finding out who was trying to penetrate their perimeter.

I don't know whether I'll be reviewing future episodes of Chasing UFOs. We have seen enough in these first two episodes to know exactly what kind of show this is. There is a lot of "data gathering" (more precisely, getting observers to tell their stories), but no serious effort to follow up, investigate, and come to a definite conclusion. It's all Wow, Gee Whiz, What an Amazing Story!. But don't actually look for answers - that isn't fun! Plus, the "investigations" we are shown are obviously staged for dramatic purposes, and are not actual efforts to gather information and solve mysteries. The National Geographic Channel may think it has plausible deniability for the contents of this show, since it was produced by Ping Pong Productions for NGC. But it's being sold under the National Geographic's brand, and it's dragging that once-proud brand through the mud.

He has consulted for television programs including The Agency, Alias and JAG. He has appeared on Discovery, Learning Channel, History Channel, PBS, A&E, and has been interviewed on numerous programs.

Chase has written a fictional novel concerning Roswell, so he might have motivation for promoting the ET explanation. But if what he says is true, you would think it would be something he might want to share.

Joining John B. Wells, on Coast to Coast Radio on June 24, 2012, CIA Veteran, Chase Brandon says "Roswell Happened!"
He states he saw written material in CIA files that state an "ET craft crashed at Roswell from beyond this world" and there were "alien cadavers" recovered. Listen to his first hand statements he made on Coast to Coast Radio YouTube. "There were materials and other items; I can tell you 100 percent that Roswell happened. I opened a box and saw the data, cadavers, and photos."

^{General George Washingtons First Order to the Army}

^{At the start of the American Revolutionary War in 1775, General George Washington took command of the Continental Army to fight King George III and England, then the world's most powerful nation. The first general order issued to his pitifully few troops who had little hope of winning the war stated:}

^{The General most earnestly requires and expects a due observance of those articles of war established for the government of the army, which forbid profane cursing, swearing and drunkenness. And in like manner, he requires and expects of all officers and soldiers not engaged in actual duty, a punctual attendance of Divine Services, to implore the blessing of Heaven upon the means used for our safety and defense."}

^{United States and much of the democratic world is at war with Radical Muslim Jihadist's who have sworn a solemn oath to destroy America and its allies. This includes Democrats, liberals, conservatives, Republicans, atheists, agnostics, Jews, Buddhists, and media stars. I suggest General Washington's orders should be issued again since they worked in the Revolutionary War, and we are now engaged in a great religious war. Rhetoric that will shake your very soul is spoken by some of the most impassioned Jihadist's living in our largest cities and preparing for terrorist actions. The bombings and fires occurring daily in Afghanistan may also be happening in the United States.}

^{"Treason is the betrayal on one's country, The Constitution of the United States (Article III, Section 3) declares, "Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort."}

^{I am a retired military man and President of the New Jersey Air Force Association. Many of our members have seen UFOs and many active duty military still regularly report them. Terrorism like any war is fought with money and information. The revealing of intelligence vital to the enemy costs American billions of dollars. During the Revolutionary War those writers who published stories against the American Revolution were tarred and feathered, isn't it time to tar and feather those who put us all at risk?}

Crop Circles Films

Patty Greer is a fearless film maker who has visited more than 100 Crop Circles and created five full feature UFO documentaries. She had an out of body experience (OBE) in the center of a UK Crop Circle and the rest is history.

Patty Greer's movies have clearly shown that Balls of Light are creating real Crop Circles in Wiltshire England. Two of her films "The Wake Up Call Anybody Listening?" and "Crop Circles 2010 Update The Wake Up Call," expose astounding visible footage where you can see a direct band of communication between two Balls of Light just before they lay a Crop Circle down to the ground in seconds. Proof positive that Balls of Light made that Crop Circle!

In her recent movie, "4 Stories-One Event-Other Worlds" you can see the Orange Balls of Light up close and in amazing detail. Greer shares authentic photos of a door in the Orange Balls of Light where a number of stunned witnesses watched Illuminated Light Beings with arms, legs and a head come out!

Patty Greer learned to edit her own movies in December 2011 and completed her newest movie in February 2012 on her own. "4 Stories-One Event-Other Worlds" is a film that you have to see to believe!

Patty has won six prestigious film making awards, yet few have noted her shocking Ball of Light discoveries yet.

In 2011 she signed a movie deal with Gaiam TV.com and her movies became available on VOD (hopefully) across Canada and the USA. Her films have won numerous awards.

It is believed by many that Crop Circles may be the first physical manifestation of ET communication that humans can actually see. Visual masterpieces of art are intentionally laid into fields of wheat, canola, barley and corn year after year all over the world. Researchers believe that by simply viewing an image of the sacred geometry of a Crop Circle, one is offered subliminal information that may enhance the viewer and last a lifetime. Is it possible we already have everything we need to evolve as a species spelled out in the Crop Circles?

Theyve been photographed and documented in over 60 countries, yet over 90% of the most prolific Crop Circles have occurred within a 20 mile radius of the ancient Avebury Stone Circle in Wiltshire England. More than 90% of those Crop Circles were located over aquifers (underground pools) and 3 underground streams meet in the center of the Avebury Stone Circle. Might there be a connection between the Crop Circles and water?

A number of sacred sites are located near and around this area such as Stonehenge, Silbury Hill and Glastonbury. People have been drawn to these sites for thousands of years to honor their ancestors and Spirit guides. Many of the same farmers fields are chosen year after year by the Circlemakers, yet different symbols and messages are left. Many of these locations sit on lay line alignments between sacred sites.

In 2006 there were 144 documented Crop Circles worldwide and 46 were in the UK. In 2007 there were 151 worldwide Crop Circles and 53 were in the UK. 2008 had 132 WW Crop Circles and 77 were in the UK. In 2009 there were 119 Crop Circles with 73 in the UK.

Numerous reports have been shared by people who have had out-of-body experiences with life changing outcomes since laying in a Crop Circle.

Its a magical experience to see acres of grain seamlessly swirled down into perfect circles, precise angles, and immaculate pathways and with unique centerpieces. This happens overnight in most cases, yet many Crop Circles have happened in the light of day. Pilots have documented Crop Circle arrivals within a 15 minutes interval of flying over. Security guards have documented the same thing; IE the Julia Set Stonehenge incident.

Two of the movies on this website show real footage of a Crop Circle being created in seconds. This footage shows two Balls of Light communicating and then the wheat swirls down in seconds into perfect lines and circles.

These masterpieces last all summer, until the farmers harvest their crops in August. The Crop Circles then disappear into a memory, saved only by the photographers, researchers and film makers who documented them.

This may be one of the greatest gifts offered to humanity today and you dont even have to go to England to receive the messages. It is believed that the Sacred Geometry is encoded with keys to a more evolved consciousness, and available to all to experience.

Iran Threatens to Block Strait of Hormuz Once Again

One day after the US and the European Union imposed a new round of severe sanctions on their oil exports; Iranian authorities addressed ultimatums to Gulf States and Western Powers. The Iranian Islamic Government needs to make some response to the sanctions to remain in power. The first ultimatum came in the form of an announcement by a member of the national security and foreign politics committee in the Iranian parliament: the committee has proposed a bill that urges Tehran to attempt to deny crude oil shipments passage through the Strait of Hormuz on their way to countries supporting the sanctions.

The second came in the form of military maneuvers that simulate a counter-attack against US or Israeli targets in the region.

Western sanctions against Iranian exports could cause a state of economic paralysis in the Islamic Republic and direct a hard blow at the Iranian authorities."

Blocking the Hormuz strait to 18 million barrels of exports from the Gulf would be equivalent to a declaration of war. Western countries with fleets, aircraft carriers and naval bases in Qatar and Bahrain will fight to prevent the closing of the Strait. The USS Ponce has just arrived in the waters off of Bahrain, with mine sweeping helicopters on board. Four other mine sweepers have moved into the area.

The threat could lift oil prices to $200 a barrel, damaging faltering western economies.

While closing the Strait may be possible for Iran for a short period of time, the U.S. military would prevail in a conflict with Iran in order to re-open the Strait at a great cost to the Iranian armed forces," Iran in recent years has acquired "thousands of sea mines, wake homing torpedoes, hundreds of advanced cruise missiles and possibly more than one thousand small Fast Attack Craft and Fast Inshore Attack Craft," U.S. Navy Commander Daniel Dolan wrote.

Blocking the strait that in places is only two miles wide would likely create a shooting war between Iranian and mainly US Naval forces. Two US naval task forces are in the vicinity and USAF fighters have been beefed up in the region. Western forces may choose to attack Iranian nuclear facilities during any conflict.

Iranian ultimatums are psychological warfare tactics, although Iran is vulnerable to bombing of key facilities, a ground war is not in the interest of either side. US carriers are vulnerable operating in confined areas. The Islamic Republic could launch surprise attacks depending on Allah to defeat western forces.

"The Iranians likely consider the sanctions on exports as a declaration of war designed to drive the Iranian people to the brink of starvation in the hope that they will rise up against the government. Iranians launched attacks against mock enemy bases located in desert areas similar to where U.S. forces are located in Kuwait and US Fifth Fleet are in Bahrain. Reports from Irans Islamic Republic News Agency alluded to diplomatic conflict between the United States and Iran.

In any case, the US and its allies aren't expected to wait around for another dozen years for the embargo to yield results in Iran. Western reports confirm that Iran does indeed possess large quantities of enriched uranium, enough to build nuclear warheads within one year. No one wants war. Nonetheless, once cornered, Iran could counter-attack the US warships in Gulf waters.

It seems the West is pushing Iran into firing the first shot in a war.

"The next four months before the US elections promise an escalation in mutual verbal attacks between Iran and the west, until one of the parties decides to open hostilities." The threat of hostilities will likely raise oil and gasoline prices.

Russia and China appear to be supporting Iran and Syria no matter how cruelly the Syrian regime behaves, or what the blocking of the Straights can cost. International law fails to face the Russians and stem the bloodletting in Syria. The situation in the Middle East is heating up and nationwide fighting could easily occur. Our sun is heating up creating a situation where unusually hot temperatures may create the psychological situation for war.

"And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves." Luke 21:25

NATO Stands with Turkey

NATO on June 26 condemned Syria's shoot down of a Turkish RF-4 reconnaissance aircraft several days prior and stressed its solidarity with Turkey, one of the alliance's 28 members. But the alliance stopped short of threatening Syria with military action, with members declaring instead that they would "follow the situation closely and with great concern," according to a NATO release. "We consider this act to be unacceptable and condemn it in the strongest terms," stated NATO General Secretary Anders Fogh

Rasmussen, following the meeting of the North Atlantic Council, the alliance's ambassadors, to discuss the shoot down at Turkey's request. Rassmussen added, "Let me make this clear. The security of the alliance is indivisible. We stand together with Turkey in the spirit of strong solidarity." State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said on June 26 the United States would "continue to stay in close touch with Turkey about its security concerns."Turkey claims that Syrian air defenses, in a deliberate and hostile act, downed the RF-4 in international waters on June 22 after the aircraft had inadvertently entered Syrian airspace for a brief time, reported Associated Press on June 26 (via The Oklahoman). Turkey has threatened to respond to further Syrian provocations. (Rassmussen transcript) (Nuland transcript)

Do Huge Fires Suggest Terrorism

Forest fires are causing destruction in some twenty states mostly in the Western US burning thousands of acres and hundreds of homes. A single terrorist could drive around starting these fires creating great harm to the United States and its citizens.

For http://r.listpilot.net/c/afa/7a4ftz4/348mgthe first time since 2008, a total of eight specially modified C-130s from the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve are helping the US Forest Service fight wildfires raging in Colorado and several northwestern states. Since June 25, four Modular Airborne Firefighting System-equipped C-130s staging from Peterson AFB, Colo., have battled the flames; on June 30, four more aircraft arrived there.

As of early on July 1, these eight airplanes had dropped more than 190,000 gallons of fire retardant in 73 airdrops. Starting on July 2, four of the MAFFS C-130s will begin staging out of the Wyoming Air Guard's base in Cheyenne. "This will give the Forest Service "tremendous flexibility to assist with several regional fires at once," said Col. Jerry Champlin, 153rd Air Expeditionary Group commander. Thanks to the AFA

Frequent Reports of "Fireballs" Continue, Seemingly Unabated

Peter Davenport the Director of the National UFO Reporting Center reports that sightings of peculiar luminous bodies have continued for several weeks. We do not know what the objects are, and the witnesses who have reported them seem as mystified by them as we at NUFORC are.

If you see a display of red, orange, yellow, or amber lights in the night sky, there are a few things we would like the witnesses to do, in order to preserve the data surrounding the sighting. First, we would like each witness to compose a short, written statement about the sighting, describing what was seen, and what happened. We would like to know where the witnesses were located, what direction they estimate they were looking, that angle of elevation above the horizontal plane, how many objects were seen, how big they looked to be (relative to a star or planet in the night sky), and how the objects moved across the sky in front of the witness, e.g. left to right, right to left, straight down, etc..

Also, we would like the witnesses to telephone their local National Weather Service office, or the nearest FAA Flight Service Station, to determine what the direction and velocity of the local winds were, at the time of the sighting, and include that information in their report. That information about the prevailing winds will allow us to determine whether the objects observed were moving in the same direction as the wind, or whether they were moving in a direction different from that of the wind, and therefore were self-propelled.

Sightings in the United States

California Ball and Triangle

Oakdale -- I had spent the day with my niece at her home on Saturday, June 2nd, 2012. There was a lot of spraying being done by planes so I had been looking up at the sky all that afternoon and taking photos. I noticed the white clouds just hanging around and I decided to take some photos. After taking the picture I immediately went to my photo file on my cell phone to see how the photo turned out. When looking at the photo we both said: "What the heck is that!" I immediately took another photo of the same spot in the sky and looked at the photo. Nothing was there. We thought lets put some mascara on the cell phone lens that just left a smudge.

When I enlarge the photo on my cell phone, you can see some wave like gas vapors around the object.

Note: The witness is to be commended for trying the "mascara experiment." Clearly the witness took a photo of a round object. Analysis indicates that the photo has not been tampered with and the subsequent photos do not show the object. What could this object be? It is not a weather balloon because it is much later than the launch window. It could be a commercial balloon, but I dont know what type. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

San Francisco --
I took this photo of a strange triangle with three lights hovering silently over southeast San Francisco. Photo was taken on June 25, 2012, from 947 Folsom Street, at around 8.30 pm.

Colorado Balls of Fire Ground Aircraft

Pike National Forest A possible meteor grounded planes fighting the Springer fire in Colorado near Lake George according to spokespeople for the fire-fighting team. A Pueblo air-dispatch center began receiving reports of "balls of fire or something in the air" this afternoon, and officials grounded flights to make sure no aircraft were hit, fire team spokesman Ron Roth said. Planes were allowed to resume flights about 90 minutes later.

"We dont have to determine what it is, just that its safe to fly at this point," he said.

The North American Aerospace Defense Command based at Peterson Air Force Base in El Paso County doesnt think whatever fell was man-made.

"We have no indication anything manmade entered that area." said NORAD spokesman John Cornelia, adding, "We have no information as to what this might have been."

The incident near the fire was first reported near Badger Mountain, a Badger Mountain, Colorado 11,294-foot peak in Park County along U.S. 24, about 40 miles west of Colorado Springs on June 20, 2012.

Ron Davis, who lives part-time in Lake City, said by e-mail that he was hiking on Redcloud Peak in Hinsdale County when he saw what he thought was silvery "space junk" burning across the eastern sky, traveling from north to south with a white tail. He had just turned off his iPhone and few minutes before and couldnt snap a picture or video, he said.

"It was an amazing sight," he said of the spectacle that last two to three seconds before it disappeared close to Earth.

Chris Peterson, a research associate at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, said today was not a "shower" but a single meteor.

"It was unusual because meteors are seldom bright enough to be noticed during the day, although they occur as often in the day as at night," he said in an e-mail.

The museum operates meteor cameras across the state, but they are turned off during the day.

"All the information we currently have is from witness reports," he said. He said he had received more than a dozen reports, from as far northeast as Limon.

If any meteorites were produced, they would have fallen in northeast Colorado, Peterson said.

Almost 400 firefighters are battling the Springer fire, currently at, 1,145 acres and 23 percent contained. The U.S. Forest Service reported the fire started Sunday is being fought by five helicopters, with two heavy air tankers and three single-engine air tankers "available as needed."

Note: I have never heard of meteors grounding aircraft? Space junk doesnt seem to be viable explanation given that NORAD didnt detect anything. (NORAD tracks space junk.)

Joel Small says:

It is somewhat rare, but not unheard of meteors being seen during the day. BUT those firefighting pilots know all that is at stake when delivery of waters and fire suppression is delayed even just for awhile, then to learn they were grounded, albeit temporarily, to possibly avoid being struck by a meteor or what-ever-it-was-they-saw "Somethings happening here; what it is isnt exactly clear."

"We dont have to determine what it is, just that its safe to fly at this point," he said.

Florida Triangles

Pensacola BEACH On May 24, 2012 about 9 PM, we were on the beach at the entrance to Ft. Pickens when we noticed a bright object that suddenly appeared in the sky to the north of Gulf Breeze, FL. The object bobbed around for a few minutes and began to descend. The light patterns did not match conventional aircraft running lights and were stunningly bright. At first we thought it may be a plane coming into to land at the airport, but it would descend, ascend, and then descend again, sometimes winking out and then reappearing a few degrees higher. After a while we became curious and chased the object down for several miles, driving back into town to an area referred to as "East Hill". When we finally got close enough to it to see what it was about 200 feet away we made out a distinct triangular outline with 3 lights on each corner. At three miles distance the object appears as a glowing golden disk. My friends in a second car closer to the object stated it made no noise and "glided" over the treetops. After a while it hovered out of our line of sight over the treetops.

Nine days later on June 2, 2012, a similar object was sighted and photographed by two different people around 9 PM. One photo was taken by each person with a gap of ten minutes between each sighting. A third and fourth witness whom we met later that night described a similar object that resembled a triangular pattern of lights confirming the earlier sighting. This photo was taken by other witnesses.

Illinois Triangle

Peoria -- About 9:20 pm on June 17, 2012, my daughter and I were driving home after getting off work. As we got half way down our street we noticed a low flying object just above tree tops with 8-10 bright, white lights and one red light on the end. The object looked triangular. There was no sound. As we pulled into the driveway we stopped to watch it just above the tree line. The object turned "on a dime" and at a high rate of speed took off in a different direction and disappeared.

Michigan Two Suns

Mattawan -- My mom and I were driving west on I-94 when it looked like there were two suns in the sky. One sun, the real sun was bigger, but there was a smaller one just as bright off to the left. It was the weirdest thing ever. I did get three pictures of them. I expected to hear something about it on the news, but never did. Clearly other people had to see it. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Mississippi Light

MONTGOMERY -- I was outside on my back patio on June 26 2012, at 9:30 PM, and I was using my digital night vision monocular.

I like to observe the wonders of the universe and heard the roar of a fighter jet. I am scanning trying to find the fighter jet from our nearby base when I saw a very bright moving star. I grabbed my Droid and shot six pictures at 4X zoom with the digital night vision device. I watched in awe as this huge white "thing" flew across the sky. It moved towards me and made a gentle 90 degree arc moving south. I kept it in my viewfinder when suddenly it vanished. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Missouri Triangle

Independence I am the Assistant State Director for MUFON Missouri, and on July 1, 2012, I had this sighting with 17 friends and family while we were at a birthday party for my granddaughter. I was looking at the moon when I noticed an object moving northwest. I saw the triangle shape and three very bright white lights pointing downward, and one red light in the center which was flashing sequentially, it made no sound and flying at 500 feet and under a mile due to the size of it. It would take a golf ball or larger to cover it up at arms length.

After a minute, the front light on the point of the triangle went out for a few seconds then back on, and the other lights all started flashing randomly, which was completely out of the ordinary for any commercial or military craft. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Jersey Looked On Fire!

PRINCETON JUNCTION On June30, 2012, my girlfriend pointed out what looked like a fast moving fireball traveling northeast at 11:30 PM. We followed it and it seemingly "burned out" and disappeared less than a minute later, Another fireball came from the same area as the first again burning out where the first one had. This occurred again two more times, all originating from the same spot and burning out in the same vicinity. This occurred over 7 to 10 minutes. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New York Light

MELVILLE

MY sister and I were driving when in front of us in the sky I saw a bright light, sort of like a search light but just pointing forwards on June 24, 2012. As we drove closer, we could see an aircraft with a smaller red light on one side and a bluish-white light on the other. At first it seemed as though this was a plane with wings, but it was not moving. It was hovering.

It was hard to tell whether the two smaller lights were attached to wings but it looked like a disc, with the two lights on either end and the one bright light in the center. It made no sound. Following the bend of the road our view was obstructed by trees and object and it was gone. The white light highest up is the unidentified object. Thanks to MUFON CMS

GRAND ISLAND -- My sighting occurred Friday, June 29, 2012 at 8:30 PM. I saw an object that was silent and slowly moving. It was visible for 15 minutes and flying extremely low. I didnt believe in these things until now.

Note: This photo is highly suspect. I believe that it is a real photo, but what is it a photo of? Questions have been posed to the witness. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Ohio Lights and Disk

Hudson -- Myself and a friend were driving from Twinsburg at 10:30 PM, on June 27, 2012, heading south on State Route 91. As we approached Hudson we noticed eight red lights in a formation. We pulled off the road and took pictures as the lights went out one by one. The last light to go off went off then flickered on again so I took more photo time lapse shots. I seem to have caught the red lights with some white lights mixed in. Thanks to MUFON CMS

RICHMOND HEIGHTS -- I was standing on my balcony at about 10:20 pm, when I saw a bright light moving slowly on June 17, 2012. It started moving faster until I couldnt see it. About three minutes later I saw another one moving just as fast and in the same direction. All of a sudden it started moving back in the direction it came from until I couldnt see it. It had one bright light and a couple of smaller blinking lights one that was red on a disk shape. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

South Carolina Cylinder

I took several quick order photos of my car at a scenic location on May 15, 2012. The first two photos were nearly identical and no more than a second apart. I did not notice anything but weeks later when enhancing the photos I noticed something above the mountain. One had a small horizontal cloud hanging parallel to the mountain top; a second later it was gone. When zoomed it appears as a cigar shaped object. The camera was a Nikon D90 digital. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Texas Oval Shaped Craft

Cedar Park On June 27, 2012, at 9 PM, I was out in my backyard and saw slow 40 MPH moving object. I got out my phone, but it was dead. The object stopped over my neighbors house and hovered there for about ten minutes. It was a giant oval shaped craft with red and green lights flashing around the craft. It slowly started to move towards me. I made this drawing of the craft, but I am just not sure what happened because I awoke at 3 AM, to see my room blurry and total blinding white light. Then the light disappeared and that was all I remember. I saw it again the next night. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Utah Triangle

Salt Lake City -- I am a pilot and I saw an object that was not normal flying 2,000 agl above downtown on June 12, 2012. It headed straight northwest with no sound. There were 7 to 9 bright white lights on a triangular shape in flight.

Worldwide UFO Sightings

Australia

Albury -- Peter Maxwell Slattery says, "I've spotted UFOs many times near my home in Albury and I was coming back from the supermarket, when right in front of me was a very bright phosphorescent electric green fireball."

It was flying parallel to the ground at about 60 meters (150-200 feet). The white ball was about 10 meters or 30 feet in circumference, and green on the sides, and it had a small tail. I saw it in January 2005 and 2009. I saw it again, it was blue. This one I saw in Hato El Cedral, a wildlife refuge in the South-west of Venezuela.

Canada Cylinder

Scarborough -- I thought to share a strange image taken June 20, 2012 at 10:04 AM. While at work there were some bright white flashes in the west like a cameras flash, so I took some pictures. After reviewing the pictures I found a dark long streamline hydro line. My friend George agrees it is not an insect, but something in the distance.

Note: This isnt just an anomaly discovered in a photo. The witness saw something unusual and this object showed up in the picture. The exposure time was only 1/160 second. Given this fact the "insect explanation" is not likely. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

United Kingdom Flying Object

BOSTON -- It first started on the 27th of July, when I happened to look out of my bedroom window at 11:10 pm, because I am interested in UFO activity. I spotted one with a hint of blue with my telescope and focused in on blue, red, white green all sorts of colors in the distance. I couldn't make out a shape, just extremely bright lights that I watched for an hour. It seemed to move slowly to the right then up down.

The following night it was very cloudy but at about 12 am there was a break in the cloud and it was in the exact same place! I watched for only a minute and it appeared out of nowhere looking bigger than the previous nights. My partner and I looked through my telescope but I still couldn't make out a shape. And then last night at around 11 pm, it was much closer again. Thanks to MUFON CMS

If you are getting more sighting reports than listed here, please be sure to enter them manually into CMS. To make this happen automatically, make sure your local MUFON Website is pointing to the CMS Reporting form on www.mufon.com and direct all calls you get to the MUFON website so that witnesses can enter their own report directly into CMS.

ALL sighting reports received by CMS are already filled in by the witness, saving you and your investigators time. Each report is automatically sent to YOU, the State Director and Assistant State Director, for you to assign someone to follow-up and complete the report.

If a UFO sighting comes in over the phone, or by e-mail, and you want to enter it yourself, simply go to CMS at http://mufoncms.com (once logged in) and click on "ADD CASE" in the upper right hand corner of the screen. This gives you a blank sighting reporting form that you can fill out while the witness is on the phone. Once the report is filled out be sure to click "SAVE" and you will have easily added your NEW report to CMS.

Other interesting data points in CMS during June 2012 are the shape of the UFOs reported which were as follows;

Shape of Object	Number of Reports
Sphere	211
Star-like	147
Circle	143
Triangle	73

Egg	10
Bullet/Missile	10
Teardrop	10
Cone	9
Cross	6
Blimp	5

as well as the distance from the observer;

Distance from Witness	Number of Reports
< 100 ft	69
101-500 ft	83
501 ft - 1 Mile	143
Over 1 Mile	207
Unknown	237
NO VALUE	18

Most impressively there were 18 Landings, Hovering, or Takeoffs reported and 0 Entities observed.

To review the CMS data yourself go to www.mufon.com and click on "UFO Case Files" to 1.) Easily look at the Last 20 Sightings, or 2.) Do a customized search of the CMS database by date and/or location, or 3.) Logon to CMS for even more detailed UFO sighting information about your State and the World.

I hope you are enjoying our new internet based Sighting and Reporting System. For questions regarding its use please refer to the User Guide available on your CMS main menu screen. Please send your questions and/or suggestions to Jan Harzan at janharzan@hotmail.com.

Thank you!
