UFO mania: Hollow Earth conspiracy theories: the hole truth
UFO mania: Hollow Earth conspiracy theories: the hole truth
For centuries, Hollow Earth conspiracy theorists have tried to prove that there’s a whole other world beneath our own. But first they need to find the way in...
Journey to the centre of the Earth: believers are convinced the Hollow Earth is accessed by holes at each polePhoto:
Late at night, on October 4 2002, a strange guest appeared on a cult American radio show. Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell had a reputation for exploring weird themes with fascinating guests, but few had ever sounded as excited as this one.
Dallas Thompson was a former personal trainer who had spent his youth in Hawaii but now lived in Bakersfield, California. His life had changed forever following a terrible accident, five years earlier. He’d been driving along Highway 58 during heavy rain when his car had aquaplaned, spinning four times, only to plunge backwards down a 250ft drop.
When Thompson was found, the roof of his blue Honda Accord had been crushed almost to the floor. The fireman who rescued him was amazed he hadn’t been decapitated. As he’d been sitting, helpless, in the wreck, Thompson had had a vivid near-death experience. He claimed to have seen a “light so bright that it burnt my eyes” and made him “legally blind” and to have had bizarre knowledge about the world poured into him. When he regained consciousness, he was convinced that the Earth was hollow and had an opening at the North Pole. He’d come on Coast to Coast to discuss his mission to locate and explore it. “There are cavern systems and caves that traverse the whole mantle,” he told Bell, whose scepticism often took the form of slightly extended silences. Because of the special atmosphere in the hole, Thompson explained, living creatures were protected from pollutants and harmful rays. There were herds of mammoth and ancient tribes down there, the members of which lived to be around 1,700 years old.
“How do you know all this?” asked Bell.
“I just do,” said Thompson. “I remembered stuff that has been forgotten.”
Later, Bell asked after his mental health.
“Are you manic?”
“I’m just excited,” said Thompson.
“… I can tell.”
Perhaps most incredibly, Thompson revealed he’d secured funding to travel to the hole with a helicopter backpack called a SoloTrek, which he’d use to descend into it. He even had a date for the trip: May 24 2003.
Over the next few months, news of Thompson’s expedition spread. He began to receive emails from media companies keen to report the story and many more from both critics and admirers. The sprawling book he’d written, which included his theories about Hollow Earth, began to sell.
In December 2002, two months after his radio appearance, he posted a message on his Yahoo Group page describing an inundation of “over 5,600 emails every few days”. He said his book, Cosmic Manuscript, had become a bestseller but he was pulling it from sale. “I have requested the book be discontinued even though it’s still at the top of the charts in Canada,” he wrote.
And then, the most mysterious event of all took place. All of a sudden, Thompson disappeared…
For many centuries, humankind has dreamt of inner worlds. Numerous writers have been inspired by the idea, not least Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs (At the Earth’s Core, 1914), Edgar Allen Poe (The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket, 1838) and, most famously, Jules Verne, whose 1864 novel A Journey to the Centre of the Earth has been adapted numerous times for both stage and screen.
Thousands of contemporary theorists discuss what is commonly referred to as “the greatest ever secret” on internet forums. On YouTube, videos claim that the satellite images on Google Earth have been altered to cover up the existence of the holes, while other videos claim the holes are there for all to see.
Ancient Greeks, Tibetan Buddhists and Christians all located their iterations of hell in caverns under the mantle. Pilgrims used to journey to Station Island off the coast of Co Donegal where they believed there existed an entrance to Purgatory, while the old legends of Mexico describe a mountain cave near Ojinago inhabited by devilish creatures from “the way-down-deeps”.
The 18th-century Astronomer Royal Edmond Halley believed that unusual compass readings could be explained by the fact that the planet was composed of a hollow shell, two inner concentric shells and an innermost core about the diameters of the planets Venus, Mars and Mercury respectively.
One of the most famous Hollow Earth theorists, and a true predecessor of Thompson, was a veteran of the 1812 Anglo-American war, John Symmes. In his book Banvard’s Folly, Paul Collins recounts the “theory of concentric spheres and polar voids” that preoccupied the soldier.
Symmes published a pamphlet, in which he wrote, “I declare that the Earth is hollow and habitable within; containing a number of solid concentric spheres, one within the other, and that it is open at the poles 12 or 16 degrees.” He pledged his life to promoting his notion, boldly declaring, “I am ready to explore the hollow.”
He toured the US with a handmade wooden globe that opened out to reveal its secret layers. Converts, in ever increasing numbers, began petitioning the government to finance his adventures. On March 7 1822 Senator Richard Thompson presented a case to Congress that Symmes be supplied with “the equipment of two vessels of 250 to 300 tons for the expedition, and the granting of such other aid as Government may deem requisite”.
During the debate, it was suggested that the Committee for Foreign Relations become involved, as the trip may well bring Symmes and his crew into contact with new races of interior people. But the motion was to fail. Seven further bills were presented to the House. Not one succeeded.
Symmes spent the rest of his life lecturing and lobbying for action. “In May 1829,” writes Collins, “Symmes died, believing right up to the end that the greatest discovery in human history had eluded his grasp.”
But still, today, men grasp. One of them is Rodney M Cluff, author of World Top Secret: Our Earth IS Hollow! “I was working on a New Mexico farm when I was 16 and the farm manager’s son started talking about it,” he says. Fascinated, he began reading up. “I found evidence from the Scriptures, history and science that our Earth is hollow as well as all the planets and the moons and even asteroids.”
So convinced was Cluff that, in 1981, he flew his wife and five children from New Mexico to a new life in Alaska. “I thought, ‘Why don’t we see if we can find the way to the Hollow Earth?’ ”
A 'map' of the Inner Earth
And was his wife keen? “She wanted to go back home. She thought I was crazy. But we did it anyway.”
In Alaska, Cluff met a small group of people who had travelled to the icy state with the same idea. Soon they were ready to embark upon their mission. “We started on the road up to Point Barrow,” he says. “We saw a sign, at one point, saying ‘This Is A Private Road: Don’t Go Any Further’. So we didn’t go any further.”
How long did he drive before he reached the sign and aborted the mission? “About an hour,” he says. There’s a silence while I process this information. “Less than…” Soon afterwards, the Cluff family moved back south.
Like many believers, Cluff is convinced by the accounts of others who claim to have already found and even visited the “inner Earth”. Chief among them is Karl Unger, a German sailor said to be part of a 1943 U-boat expedition to the South Pole. The submarine apparently entered the Hollow Earth through an underwater passageway, and its crew were greeted by an advanced civilisation in a place called “Rainbow Island”. (Hitler was reportedly a believer, and some conspiracy theorists are convinced he escaped to the Hollow Earth at the end of the Second World War and is still there.) Then there’s Admiral Richard Byrd, a highly decorated US Naval officer whose supposedly hushed-up “secret diary” of a 1947 expedition to the North Pole is believed to contain descriptions of a land full of lush lakes, greenery and woolly mammoths (Byrd was actually in the South Pole at the time). There’s even a retired colonel in the US Air Force, Billie Faye Woodward, who claims that he and his twin sister (both hermaphrodites) were born in the Hollow Earth.
Cluff, for his part, tried to reach the Hollow Earth again. In 2003, he received an email from a man named Steve Currey who’d recently inherited his family’s travel firm that specialised in far-flung expeditions. Currey had once heard his father talking about the Hollow Earth and was familiar with Cluff’s book. They decided to plan a new trip.
“We worked on it for several years,” says Cluff. The scheme involved chartering a Russian nuclear ice breaker that was used to take tourists to the North Pole. Once the basics were worked out, they began recruiting members. “Steve was charging about $26,000 for a spot on the ship and he actually got about 40 people to put down the money.”
Before the voyage, they chartered a plane to fly over the pole to locate the opening. “We were going to leave in August 2006. But in April of that year, Steve found out he had six inoperable brain tumours. Just before we were ready to fly, he died.”
Another member of the expedition – Dr Brooks Agnew – was appointed as the new leader. After renaming the operation “The North Pole Inner Earth Expedition” and raising yet more funding, they planned for a summer 2014 departure. But a further unexpected disaster befell the team.

“Brooks Agnew resigned last September,” says Cluff. “He said a major stockholder in his company had withdrawn all their money, saying it was because [Agnew] was involved in an expedition to find the Hollow Earth.”
When another key member of the team died in an aeroplane crash, Cluff began to wonder if mysterious powers were manoeuvring against them.
“There seems to be some force that’s trying to stop this happening,” he says. “I think it’s the international bankers. They don’t want the Inner Earth people messing around with their slaves, here on the outer world.
And what about Thompson? His final posting in his Yahoo Group page had been on January 11 2003. Then, he had vanished. Adherents of Hollow Earth theory, writing in the chat forum, couldn’t help but speculate. “Maybe there is something someone did not want him to find,” said one.
“It is quite a mystery,” said another, before wondering if he had made his trip north. “Maybe he’s there?”
Further investigation, however, suggested a rather more prosaic answer. Thompson’s book, Cosmic Manuscript, is still available to buy on the internet. Among all the five-star reviews (“I am a doctor who has read thousands of books, and Cosmic Manuscript is in a class of it’s own”; “I consider there are no accidents. This book came to me instead of me searching for it”; “I LOVE this Cosmic Manuscript”) there’s a solitary one-star review.
“Sorry, babbling moon bats,” begins its author, a W M Mott. “Material in this ‘book’ was plagiarised, lifted, STOLEN, word-for-word, from previously published materials. The ‘author’ is IN HIDING as a result, and refuses to surface for fear of well-deserved lawsuits.”
Mott goes on to allege that Thompson “lifted entire pages and paragraphs from my earlier book, Caverns, Cauldrons and Concealed Creatures”. These were serious allegations. Could this be the truth behind Thompson’s evaporation?
When I contacted Mott, he told me, “I have good reason to believe that I have located Mr Thompson. He is not blind, nor has he ever been. In fact, he is passing himself off as a writer again.” Mott supplied a link to the self-published web-biography of an individual named Dallas W Thompson. This individual lived in the correct place, Bakersfield, California. Like our man, he’d spent a portion of his youth in Hawaii. He was also the author of a self-published book – a thriller called Eyes Wide Shut. A photograph shows a heavyset older man in a peach shirt staring directly in the camera in a way that strongly suggests someone who is not blind. But when I contacted him to request an interview about the Hollow Earth, he emailed back, “The Dallas Thompson you need to talk to is not me.”
It sounded unlikely. There were just too many coincidences. Nevertheless, further digging uncovered the original local newspaper cutting that reported Thompson’s car crash. It named him as Steven Thompson and revealed that he was 26 when the accident happened in 1997. But the biography of the Dallas W Thompson that W M Mott had accused of plagiarism had said he was born in 1944, a significant difference. Indeed, the photograph on his website shows a man who appears to be in his 60s.
Perhaps there are two Dallas Thompsons in Bakersfield?
Eventually, I find a phone number that must surely belong to our man. He lives in Bakersfield. His name is Steven D Thompson. His age, estimated by a records database, is quoted as between 40 and 44. Right place, right name, right age. Excited, I ring the number. It’s disconnected.
Maybe Thompson is in hiding. Maybe government forces or evil bankers made him disappear, terrified of the world-changing truths he was about to unleash. Maybe he did journey to Hollow Earth, descend into it with his helicopter backpack and is now prancing joyfully with the mammoths, and the ancient tribes, living in a paradise of pure air, warm climes and abundant food that will sustain him for another 1,657 years.
Or maybe he forgot to pay his phone bill.

Mythe van de smeltende Noordpool: ijskap is dikker en groter dan 2 jaar geleden
Mythe van de smeltende Noordpool: ijskap is dikker en groter dan 2 jaar geleden
Toen de voormalige Amerikaanse vicepresident Al Gore in 2007 de Nobelprijs voor de Vrede in ontvangst nam, sprak hij de onheilspellende woorden: “De ijskap van de Noordpool smelt in rap tempo en kan over zeven jaar in de zomer helemaal verdwenen zijn.” Gore kreeg de Nobelprijs voor zijn campagne tegen klimaatverandering.
Al Gore (AP)
De Mail on Sunday onthult echter dat de Arctische ijskap al voor het tweede jaar op rij is gegroeid. Een gebied ter grootte van de Amerikaanse staat Alaska was twee jaar geleden nog open zee, maar wordt inmiddels weer bedekt met ijs.
Uit satellietgegevens van het Amerikaanse National Snow and Ice Data Center, dat onder andere wordt gefinancierd door NASA, blijkt dat de oppervlakte van het zeeijs sinds 2012 met 1,71 miljoen vierkante kilometer (43 procent) is toegenomen. Volgens de Deense meteorologische dienst is de ijskap nog sneller gegroeid, namelijk met 63 procent.
De gebruikte satellietbeelden, die afkomstig zijn van de Universiteit van Illinois, laten zien dat het ijs ook een stuk dikker is geworden. Daardoor zal het in de toekomst minder snel smelten, aldus professor Andrew Shepherd van de Universiteit van Leeds. “De Arctische ijskap is vanwege de ongewoon koele zomer van 2013 dikker en sterker dan normaal,” zei hij. “Hier moet men rekening mee houden bij het maken van voorspellingen.”
Al jaren wordt beweerd dat de Noordpool in de zomer ijsvrij zal zijn, met de nodige rampen tot gevolg. Door het smeltende ijs zouden gigantische hoeveelheden methaan vrijkomen, waardoor de aarde sneller opwarmt omdat de warmte van de zon niet langer door het ijs wordt gereflecteerd.
Ook de Amerikaanse minister van Buitenlandse Zaken John Kerry waarschuwde in 2009 dat de Noordpool in 2014 ijsvrij zou zijn. Deze uitspraak werd in hetzelfde jaar herhaald door Gore tijdens een toespraak voor wereldleiders bij de VN-klimaatconferentie in Kopenhagen, in een poging een nieuw klimaatverdrag erdoor te drukken.
Dergelijke misleidende voorspellingen worden nog altijd gedaan. Professor Peter Wadhams van de Cambridge-universiteit beweerde afgelopen maand nog dat de Noordpool dit jaar niet ijsvrij is, maar dat in september 2015 wel zal zijn.
Politici als Al Gore hebben vaak gezegd dat klimaatverandering ‘vaststaat’ en noemen mensen die twijfelen aan hun voorspellingen ‘klimaatontkenners’. Hoewel de voorspellingen van Wadhams zijn overgenomen door kranten en tv-zenders, zijn er maar weinigen die erin geloven.
Dr. Ed Hawkins van de Universiteit van Reading zei dat de afname van het zeeijs voor 2012 niet is te wijten aan klimaatverandering, maar aan natuurlijke variabiliteit. Dit gebeurde ook in de jaren twintig en dertig en heeft te maken met natuurlijke cycli, aldus Hawkins.
Researchers surprised by High ozone level in Colorado Mountains
Our planet is clearly under attack. Anyone even half awake can see the world today is careening towards disaster when there is no reason for it. Our resources are plentiful, and the vast majority of people on earth are loving, ethical and well meaning individuals.
However, those in places of authority and economic power appear to clearly be maniacal psychopaths constantly scheming for new ways to use and abuse humanity and its beautiful home called Earth, or Terra.
As in Terraforming.
According to researchers Ozone levels are surprisingly high at the south of Denver to Fort Collins. From mid-July to 18 Aug, during the period of data gathering, the area shows high concentrations of ozone and ozone-causing chemicals.
Harmful chemicals and Ozone are also pushed by wind and temperature driven air movement from lower elevations. This event even in the mountain, results to the existence of ozone. The Rocky Mountain National Park, as a matter of fact is positive for ozone.
There are further more studies to be conducted to quantify and examine the amount of ozone present in the mountain. The researchers are hopeful that at the end of the year, they can release a public data. The help is also expected by the researchers from federal and state scientists, and from other researchers and who expressed their willingness to contribute in the study.
Why Are They Doing It?
To reduce the population? Alter our genetic make up? Produce a morphed human race only capable of subservient tasks to please a master race immune or protected from these mutative influences on a deliberately morphed planet?
Depopulating is in the everyday language of the Elites. We are a scourge they’re just waiting for the right time to exterminate. That’s all. And those that are “allowed” or engineered to survive will supposedly serve them willingly and happily.
The final acquiescence will be to take the chip. That last straw that will break the back of freedom for all who succumb.
Baton Rouge, LA – On the first Monday night in May, 1991, I was watching the news with my dog. The ABC World News had just begun on TV when my dog began to growl. I had never seen her like that. She had a good nature and was playful. Her hair suddenly stood up in a ridge along her back and she was crying and growling at the same time. She jumped off the bed and went to the french door, with indows, that led from the bedroom to the backyard. She didn’t paw to go out. Instead she sat down and kept growling and crying with her fur raised. She kept shaking her head. I got up to see what what was frightening her. When I got to the door I noticed a screeching, buzzing, sound. It was similar to static. The TV blinked and so did the lights. It was actually hurting the dog.
When I looked in the backyard it was just beginning to get dark, but there was still some light out. In the distance, just above the tree tops of the woods behind my house, I saw a circular light. It was hovering. I could tell it wasn’t the moon, or anything natural, because it wobbled as it hovered. My dog was staring straight at it and growling viciously. I thought it was odd. I began to stare at it too. As I watched, it was as if I couldn’t take my eyes away. Then I realized we were both unable to move. The static sound got louder but my dog couldn’t shake her head. We were frozen in place. I was terrified. I wanted to run only I couldn’t. The light changed direction. It fell down through the trees and took a path through the woods toward my house. It wove through the trees and got bigger and brighter. It hurt my eyes. It wasn’t stopping it came straight for my door, about six feet off the ground. The light got so bright I thought my eyes would burn.
Then it was just gone. I looked down at my dog. She was in exactly the same spot, drooling, and growling, but softer now. I was dizzy and disoriented. I was as if the light passed straight through us. I sat down on the floor to check my dog and she fell over and laid still, panting as if she’d been running. The whole event seemed a few seconds long. When I looked up at the TV, Wheel Of Fortune was ending. An hour and a half had passed. The World News, the Local News, and Wheel Of Fortune had aired. I can’t remember one thing during that time. What is truly strange is that exactly one month later my dog vanished out of my backyard. I had to go out for a while. I left her outside. I had a five foot wooden fence around the yard. It was locked with a padlock. She wasn’t a digger. I got home about nine PM and she was gone. The fence was locked. There was no fur on the ground. There were no holes in the yard. No one could have gotten over the fence, with a thirty-five pound dog, without a ladder. She was just gone. I miss my dog, but mostly, it bothers me that I have no idea what happened during that time frame. I have severe headaches and strange dreams. I don’t like to sleep at night. I have a strange rash all over my body and radiation has been found in the woods behind my house. What happened to me??
De bakermat van de graancirkels. Alleen… er zijn verdraaid weinig graancirkels! Nog nooit zijn er zo weinig graancirkels geweest in Wiltshire. Reden voor paniek?
(Foto: Marjan Stadermann)
Vreemd genoeg voel ik in mijn hele Wezen dat het antwoord NEE is. Aan de ene kant vind ik dat vreemd; graancirkels zijn immers ‘mijn lust en mijn leven’? Maar aan de andere kant is dit precies waar ik al jaren om vraag. Al jarenlang zeg ik tegen de Cirkelmakers: “Hou nou eens op met die formaties in het graan. Ik heb er honderden gezien, gevoeld, gefotografeerd en gefilmd. Ik heb lichtbollen gezien en gefotografeerd. Ik heb Lichtwezens ontmoet en gevoeld. Ik heb al zoveel wonderen meegemaakt. En ik weet dat het blasé klinkt, maar ik wil de volgende stap. Ik ben klaar voor de volgende stap. Na 20 jaar de graancirkels te hebben gezien, onderzocht, gevoeld, geroken, geproefd, gefotografeerd en gefilmd ben ik klaar voor de volgende stap”.
En de volgende stap is voor mij: direct, persoonlijk Contact. Ik wil dat ze voor me staan, ik wil hun hand schudden, ik wil ze een knuffel geven. Face to face.
Ik voel een diep vertrouwen in de Cirkelmakers. Ze weten exact wat ze doen, daar ben ik al heel lang van overtuigd. Ik snap hun plan niet, maar dat wil niet zeggen dat ze geen plan hebben. Het wil alleen maar iets zeggen over de beperkingen van mijn mind.
Nee… dit voelt als een sprong in het diepe. A leap of faith. Want het kan twee kanten opgaan. Als er niets gebeurt, wat dan? Wat gebeurt er dan met mijn vertrouwen? Wat gebeurt er met mijn geloofwaardigheid? Mijn ego begint te steigeren bij het idee.
Maar toch… wat overheerst is dat diepe vertrouwen. Het gaat zoals het gaat. Het is zoals het is. Ze weten exact wat ze doen.
Ego: “Maar als er niets gebeurt, sta jij voor aap! En dan zet je het ook nog eens in je column, je lijkt wel niet goed snik!”
Zelf: (glimlacht alleen)
Wat kan ik zeggen? Ik heb niet de wijsheid in pacht. Ik weet het ook allemaal niet. Ik kan alleen maar delen wat er nu is: en dat is vertrouwen, blijdschap, vreugde, geluk. Ik was weer thuis in mijn geliefde Wiltshire, de velden staan er prachtig bij, de heuvels lijken te stralen. Het gebied is buzzing, als altijd. Toen ik hier voor het eerst kwam was ik 13. Toen voelde ik de magie al. En er waren geen graancirkels… Maar hun ‘aanwezigheid’ is er altijd al geweest en zal er altijd zijn. De sluier is hier dun. Flinterdun.
Nu, terug in NL, heb ik twee groepen achter de rug. Al met al hebben we toch nog drie formaties bezocht per groep. Maar eigenlijk maakte het niet zoveel uit. We hebben genoten… De magie was tastbaarder dan ooit tevoren, de sfeer was betoverender dan ooit tevoren, de groepsdynamiek was intenser en mooier dan ooit tevoren. We hebben samen gelachen, gehuild, we zijn samen gegroeid.
Martin filmt
Wat een zomer….
En dat niet alleen. We hebben dingen meegemaakt die ik nooit eerder heb meegemaakt met een groep: we hebben UFO’s gezien, er is daadwerkelijk Contact geweest!
Met de eerste groep zagen we al tijdens onze eerste nightwatch vanaf Barbury Castle ‘satellieten’ die stopten in hun baan, omdraaiden en op een andere afkoersten om daar vervolgens omheen te draaien! Martin filmde alles, de kanjer…
Vervolgens had de hele groep een Close Encounter of the First Kind tijdens onze tweede nightwatch vanuit de Avebury steencirkel. Terwijl we alles uit de kast trokken om Contact te krijgen (zingen, sjamaanse drum, meditatie, kristallen, you name it, we did it) verscheen een fors object net boven de bomen. Het had drie lichten die knipperden, twee rood en 1 wit. Het vloog op ons af en we hoorden het geluid van een helikopter. “Het is een helikopter!” werd er geroepen en iedereen ging weer wat anders doen. Ook ik, terwijl ik toch echt donders goed weet dat een helikopter niet dit soort lichten heeft.
You name it, we did it’
Waren we gewoon dom of waren we beïnvloed door het object? Dat laatste noemt men overigens een Close Encounter of the Second Kind, waarbij een veranderd bewustzijn optreedt bij de ooggetuigen. Mijn ego fluistert me in dat we absoluut in een ander bewustzijn werden gebracht door de Aliens, maar om eerlijk te zijn vermoed ik toch dat we gewoon even heel erg dom waren. Misschien een beetje van allebei…?
Hoe het ook zij, de helikopter vloog een andere kant op, de UFO kwam zo ongeveer over ons heen (alsof het riep: “Luister dan! GEEN GELUI-HUID!”) en wij stonden alle 15 te kijken en niemand maakte een foto… Een typisch geval van: hoe vertel ik dit thuis?
Toen het object het dichtst bij ons was (afstand amper 300 meter) zagen we dat het niet echt een ‘lichaam’ had. Het leek eerder op een soort grote boemerang.
De boemerang had geen haast. Het vloog rustig, laag en geruisloos naar rechts, verdween achter de huizen en bomen van Avebury en bleef vervolgens hangen boven een veld in de richting van Yatesbury en Devizes. En wat deed Janet, de graancirkel- en ufo-expert met 20 jaar ervaring? Janet deed helemaal NIETS. Een typisch geval van blond. Nou ja, misschien was ik toch ook een beetje gehypnotiseerd door deze onaardse vliegmachine?
Graancirkel bij Yatesbury

In ieder geval bleven de lichten een beetje heen en weer zweven, wel een half uur lang. Ze waren zo laag boven het veld dat ze steeds achter de bomen verdwenen en dan weer te voorschijn kwamen, waarschijnlijk dus niet hoger dan een meter of vijf boven de grond. Iedereen bleef er wel naar kijken, maar niemand ondernam actie. Niemand zei: “Laten we naar dat veld toe rijden en kijken of we het ontstaan van een graancirkel kunnen filmen!” We zaten, we zongen, we genoten. En de volgende dag lag er een verse graancirkel bij Yatesbury…
Mijn geluk kon niet op toen ik – eenmaal thuis – een mailtje kreeg van Karin: “Ik heb mijn nightwatch foto’s nog eens goed bekeken, en de UFO staat er toch twee keer op! Is dit niet gaaf?!” Karin, ik hou forever van je.

Vervolgens, op dag 5, verscheen een vreemd fel licht op klaarlichte dag bij het vliegveldje van Yatesbury. Geobserveerd door maar liefst 12 ooggetuigen hing het daar, stationair. Het leek de reflectie van de zon op een autoruit, maar piloten Tony en Martin hadden de tegenwoordigheid van geest om er in een microlight overheen te vliegen en… ze zagen niets! Geen geparkeerde auto, geen licht, niets. Maar terwijl zij het licht niet zagen vanuit de lucht, zagen de overige tien op de grond het onverminderd schitteren…
Karin (alweer Karin!) maakte vier foto’s waarop te zien is dat het licht stationair is maar wel verandert qua vorm:
(Foto's: Karin Koolen)
En toen, op de voorlaatste avond, zouden we een nightwatch doen op de Long Barrow van West Kennett, het grootste hunebed ter wereld. Maar ineens veranderde het plan: een deel van de groep wilde bovenop Silbury Hill gaan zitten, de piramide. Prima. Toen voelde ik dat ik naar Windmill Hill moest gaan. Alleen. Vreemd. Mijn groep achterlaten?
Toch legde ik het voor aan de groep. En voor ik het wist begon iedereen zijn spullen in te pakken en reden we in colonne naar Windmill Hill… Dat was toch echt niet wat ik had doorgekregen. Terwijl we naar de top van Windmill Hill reden, zei ik tegen Toos: “Heb je wel door dat we van West Kennett worden weggeleid?” Ging daar iets gebeuren waar we niet bij mochten zijn? Dit had ik eerder meegemaakt…
De chaos duurde voort, het plan werd weer omgegooid. Vier dames werden plotseling overmand door een enorme vermoeidheid. De stoeltjes en dekens werden weer ingepakt en ze reden samen terug naar het hotel. Terwijl wij vanaf Windmill Hill Contact hadden met een ‘satelliet’ die terugseinde met drie enorme flitsen als antwoord op mijn krachtige laserbeamer (Close Encounter of the Fifth Kind) zagen de vier dames boven het hotel een vierkante oranje-gele doos hangen die geruisloos van rechts naar links zweefde en in de verte verdween. Amper vijf meter boven het hotel, vertelden ze ons later. Angeline maakte foto’s (de zoveelste kanjer in de groep!). De doos verscheen als slang, waarschijnlijk door de sluitertijd van de camera (een kwart seconde belichting):

Een column mag niet meer dan 1500 woorden bevatten, dus ik ga stoppen. En dan heb ik nog niet eens verteld wat er allemaal in groep 2 gebeurde. Dat moet dan maar in de volgende column… binnenkort!
Van een afstand zullen mensen over 2014 zeggen: dat was het slechtste graancirkeljaar aller tijden. Maar wij weten wel beter. Het was het jaar van de volgende stap. Direct Contact met de Cirkelmakers. En al heb ik ze dan nog niet kunnen omhelzen, voor mij was het verreweg het meest bijzondere graancirkeljaar ooit. Mijn dankbaarheid grenst aan hondsdolheid. En niet in het minst vanwege de prachtige mensen met wie ik dit avontuur heb mogen beleven. Dank jullie wel…
Bottomless Pit! Massive 100ft-Wide Sinkhole opens up in Pennines, UK
Bottomless Pit! Massive 100ft-Wide Sinkhole opens up in Pennines, UK
A 'Terrifying' sinkhole 100ft wide appears overnight in Pennines County Durham, UK and it's so deep you can't see the bottom.
The gaping void, thought to be the result of mine workings deep beneath the surface, is just a stone’s throw from a couple’s farmhouse.
It was three times smaller when it was first discovered on Thursday morning, at Cowshill, in the rural area of Weardale, by Durham University academic Sam Hillyard, but more earth has since collapsed.
Sam, 39, had been out shooting rabbits with her black Labrador Jack and was returning to her home, Burtree Pastures, when she noticed the 30ft hole.
Overnight, the hole sank further to reveal an abyss. And it is feared rain forecast for over the Bank Holiday may see it become larger still.
Mr Hensby, 71, who lives in Cowshill, near Bishop Auckland, County Durham, said: 'I am not sure where this will end. 'The hole is still growing. It is astonishing. If you could have heard the bangs, crashes and rumbles when it first happened, you would understand how terrifying it was.
Some council experts came to inspect the hole yesterday but we are not sure what can be done. We are crossing our fingers it doesn't get much bigger.

What Lies Beneath The Jolly Joker?
What Lies Beneath The Jolly Joker?
Hi all:
If you have missed it, here it is. It will open up a shadowy world of smoke, mirrors and hot air where fantasy intermixes with reality leaving the (untrained) viewer with a great deal of doubt as to where reality ends and fantasy takes over. Which aspects or tales associated with the UFO phenomenon are true? The down-to-earth tales or the out-of-this-world ones? I believe the "truth" lies between the two. What is certain is that there is a true Unknown phenomenon whose existence and public, scientific and media acceptance have been seriously clouded for decades by a lot of intentional and unintentional BS stories, thus making it e.g. very easy to hide "it" in plain sight so far. Just say "no comment" and "it's BS" and the storm will eventually die down until the next UFO storm presents itself and then it will start all over again unless deniability is finally overturned by the phenomenon itself by showing its hand in plain sight, thus delivering the concrete and irrefutable evidence we all have been wishing for.
"Feature length documentary by John Lundberg, Mark Pilkington, Roland Denning and Kypros Kyprianou. A journey into paranoia, disinformation and UFOs. UFOs: weapons of mass deception... For over 60 years teams within the US Air Force and Intelligence services exploited and manipulated beliefs about UFOs and ET visitations as part of their counterintelligence programmes. In doing so they spawned a mythology so powerful that it captivated and warped many brilliant minds, including several of their own. Now, for the first time, some of those behind these operations, and their victims, speak out, revealing a true story that is part Manchurian Candidate part Close Encounters of the Third Kind."
So, you want to know whether flying saucers are real? Well. the evidence you are about to see is so strong that if this were a murder case the accused would hang. This case was presented on ats about three years ago by chadwickus, and while he put together a good thread I personally feel he left out too much to really do it justice.
Westall, a suburb of Melbourne, Australia. On the morning of April 6 1966 the children of Westall were in school. One of the children was looking out of a classroom window and saw a flying saucer hovering outside, he excitedly announced what he could see and within minutes the entire school, including the staff, were outside watching two flying saucers hovering just a few yards away.
Graham Simmonds was the first to see the flying saucers. He was standing at the window and saw a saucer hovering.
Terry Peck was playing outside when she heard another child shout “Look a flying saucer”. Terry looked up in the sky, and she says it really was a flying saucer. She says it was a round silver disc hovering low over the school. She remembers children screaming and running inside to hide.
Marilyn Smith says she was inside and children started running back in, they were hysterical and screaming “there’s a flying saucer in the Oval”
Barbara Robbins, the chemistry teacher grabbed her camera and started taking pictures.
Claude Miller says he was having a crafty ciggy at the time. He says that Andrew Greenwood (another teacher) came rushing at him saying “Did you see it, did you see it”
Brenden Dickson says he saw a saucer hovering just a few feet above the ground. He says it descended and just sat there for a few minutes, then it went back up and shot off.
Its difficult to present this case on a timeline for several reasons, first, it happened more than fourty years ago, also the children were running about all over the place, and also because there were TWO saucers and not all the children saw both of them. The majority of the children followed a saucer to a rough bit of ground they refer to as The Oval. They say the saucer actually landed in the oval and some of them got quite close to it.
Terry Peck says some of the girls who got there before her passed out when they got close. She says a girl named Tanya had collapsed and an ambulance was called and took Tanya away. Tanya was never seen again!!! (someone should look into what happened to Tanya)
Victor Zakruzny says that before the craft went to the oval they landed in a grassy paddock. He said there were two discs on the ground a couple of meters apart. He went over to them and says he was going to touch them but when he was within a meter of them he could feel heat coming from them. He said they just sat there for about a minute then they slowly lifted off and went towards the oval.
Victor did a rough sketch of what he saw
Its interesting that his drawing shows three round…power units? We so often hear about craft with three lights! He said the craft were completely smooth and looked like they’d come out of a mold.
Joy Clarke says that in the afternoon the school had a special assembly. The headmaster told the children they were all nuts! That they hadn’t seen anything, and they were forbidden to talk to anyone about it.
Graham Simmonds says he was prepped to tell the students that what they’d seen didn’t exist. He says he was given the job of walking up and down the corridors to keep the students in their rooms. While he was walking the corridors he saw the teacher who’d been taking photographs of the saucers struggling with people in uniform who were demanding she hand over her camera.
Later the media arrived. The police also arrived to keep the media away and would not let them talk to anyone. Some children had managed to get out and were talking to the media but were immediately taken back into school by the police.
Marilyn Smith appeared on a tv show (channel 9) and was given detention when she returned to school.
The author of the vid (bottom of this post) contacted channel 9 to see whether this case was still in their records, it was!
He was given permission to search their archives for the footage. We can all guess what he found…an empty film can.
However in the state library of Victoria there are newspapers referring to this case.
Paul Smith a market gardener and his boss were working in their field when the flying saucers arrived. They stood looking at them for several minutes. He said a few minutes later the children from the school flooded across their field in pursuit of the craft.
Most people who saw the saucers say that five Cessna airplanes arrived and that’s when the saucers took off at high speed. About twenty minutes later army trucks appeared with about twenty men in them.
Lt Col. Neil Smith a military historian says he’s unaware of any military bases close enough to have gotten men to the location so quickly. Also witnesses say the men in the trucks wore kaki coloured uniforms but Neil Smith says the Australian military did not wear uniforms of this colour in 1966.
Just four days before the saucers landed at the school. somebody reported seeing a strange object in the sky and took these photos.
This picture is very relevant because those who saw the saucers fly away said they turned on their side when they went away.
Also, another strange story was reported just two days before the saucers landed at the school.
Ron Sullivan says that he was driving along a nearby road one night when he noticed a bright light in the trees. He says as he got closer it pulled his headlights to the side as if being pulled by a magnet.
RonSullivan did not bother reporting this event until he saw this.
This happened just two days before the event seen by Ron Sullivan and six days before the saucers landed at the school.
There is so much more to this story, if you have even the slightest interest in ufo’s then the video below will blow your mind.
You should not be asking yourself – Did this happen? The question you should be asking is – WHO WERE THEY!!
For me this case proves one of two things. 1. Aliens landed. or 2. The military had anti gravity capability as far back as 1966.
All the pics and info were taken from the video below.
Sciences et technologies de l'information et de la communication
Sciences et technologies de l'information et de la communication University of Southern California (USC) écrit l'histoire de l'informatique quantique (Partie 1/2)
Le centre de recherche en informatique quantique de USC, soutenu par Lockheed Martin, vient d'effectuer une découverte fondamentale en démontrant la nature quantique de l'ordinateur D-Wave qu'ils utilisent. Nous revenons cette semaine sur ce résultat. Nous présenterons dans un prochain bulletin quelques applications possibles de l'informatique quantique qui suscitent bien des intérêts.
USC Lockheed Martin Quantum Computation Center - Pionnier en informatique quantique
En 2011, le USC Lockheed Martin [1] Quantum Computation Center a acheté à la société D-Wave (seule actuellement à commercialiser des calculateurs quantiques) une unité de calcul annoncée comme contenant 128 qubits [2], unités d'information quantique qui est aux ordinateurs quantiques ce que le bit est aux ordinateurs conventionnels. Cette acquisition porte l'USC au tout premier plan dans le domaine de l'informatique quantique, puisqu'aucun autre centre de recherche universitaire ne possède actuellement de dispositif équivalent.
L'avance technologique considérable que la firme déclare posséder n'est pas sans susciter quelques interrogations et controverses, entre autres sur la nature quantique de ses puces. D-Wave s'appuie sur une technologie différente de celle développée par les autres acteurs du domaine. Au lieu d'avoir recours à des équivalents de portes logiques, elle utilise le principe du quantum annealing. C'est la seule méthode qui permette de produire à l'heure actuelle des puces avec un nombre significatif de qubits. Elle est toutefois limitée dans son utilisation à des algorithmes bien spécifiques. De plus, pour des raisons de secrets industriels aux vues des enjeux considérables qui sous-tendent le domaine, les calculateurs de D-Wave ne peuvent être étudiés correctement par la communauté scientifique.
Le 29 Mai 2014, une équipe de chercheurs du USC Lockheed Martin Quantum Computation Center ont publié leurs résultats sur l'étude du calculateur D-Wave à leur disposition [3]. Ils ont pu démontrer expérimentalement que 8 de ses qubits étaient bien intriqués, et que cet état d'intrication se maintenait bien au cours des opérations de calcul (on parle de non-décohérence). C'est un résultat d'une très grande importance, qui confirme que la méthode du quantum annealing paraît viable pour créer des processeurs à grande échelle, et semble confirmer l'avance technologique de D-Wave.
L'informatique quantique : principes et enjeux
En 1975, Gordon E. Moore (co-fondateur du groupe Intel - plus grand fabricant de processeurs au monde) énonce la loi qui porte aujourd'hui son nom : "le nombre de transistors sur une puce de silicium d'un microprocesseur double tous les deux ans à prix constant". Jusqu'ici, cette loi empirique s'est montrée remarquablement proche de la réalité. La technologie actuelle consiste à graver les transistors sur les puces de silicium. Si on prolonge la loi de Moore, les gravures seront effectuées au niveau atomique à l'horizon 2020. Néanmoins des complications apparaissent à cette échelle, les phénomènes quantiques ne pouvant plus être contournés, et plusieurs experts prévoient les premiers écarts à la loi de Moore à cette occasion. L'idée de l'ordinateur quantique émerge, entre autre, de ce contexte : ne pas voir l'échelle atomique comme une barrière, mais comme l'occasion d'une nouvelle rupture, conceptuelle et technologique.
La mécanique quantique est la théorie physique qui régit les systèmes à l'échelle de l'atome. Elle s'oppose à la description dite classique ou newtonienne des corps en ce qu'elle est purement probabiliste : un objet n'est plus défini par sa position et sa vitesse à un instant donné, mais par la probabilité qu'il a d'être en un point à un instant donné. Ses implications physiques sont pour la plupart contre-intuitives, mais la remarquable concordance entre ses prédictions théoriques et les mesures expérimentales depuis son élaboration au début du XXè siècle tendent à asseoir sa légitimité.
Le concept d'ordinateur quantique vise à mettre à profit le principe de superposition, au fondement même de la mécanique quantique. Les qubits (équivalents quantiques des bits classiques) ne sont plus astreints à être dans l'un des états 0 ou 1 comme dans un ordinateur conventionnel, mais peuvent être dans une superposition de ces deux états (à la fois 0 et 1). En pratique, la réalisation de ces qubits se fait à l'aide de systèmes quantiques (particules de spin ½ le plus souvent) dans des états superposés particuliers, on parle d'états intriqués.
Bref historique de l'informatique quantique
1981 - Le physicien Richard Feynman constate que les simulations de mécanique quantique demandent des puissances de calcul considérables, il en vient à formuler : "Au lieu de nous plaindre que la simulation des phénomènes quantiques demande des puissances énormes à nos ordinateurs actuels, utilisons la puissance de calcul des phénomènes quantiques pour dépasser nos ordinateurs actuels" et envisage l'idée d'un calculateur quantique. Ne proposant pas d'applications en dehors de la simulation physique, son idée ne suscitera pas l'engouement de la communauté scientifique.
1985 - Le physicien David Deutsch formalise le concept d'ordinateur quantique.
1994 - Peter Shor découvre un algorithme quantique permettant de factoriser un nombre en temps raisonnable (temps polynômial). C'est le début du réel engouement pour l'informatique quantique.
1998 - IBM présente un calculateur quantique à 2 qubits.
2006 - Premier calculateur quantique à 12 qubits.
2009 - Des chercheurs de l'université de Yale créent le premier processeur quantique élémentaire (2 qubits) capable d'exécuter des algorithmes simples.
2012 - La société Canadienne D-Wave annonce avoir réalisé un ordinateur quantique à 512 qubits (la nature quantique du calculateur restant controversée) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SOURCES: [1] Lockheed Martin est la première entreprise américaine et mondiale de défense et de sécurité. Son intérêt pour l'ordinateur quantique résiderait dans sa possibilité d'effectuer des simulations lourdes d'aéronautique.
Boaz, Alabama– 7/5/2014: My friend and I were sitting on her deck drinking coffee. She said, “Look!” I looked up in time to see a rectangular shaped object with lights circling around it, changing colors. We kept saying, “What is that?” It briefly went totally dark and then reappeared moving toward her property. Her house is situated at an elevation of 1,053 feet above sea level according to my phone. There is a VERY STEEP drop off at the edge of her lawn which is heavily wooded all the way down the mountain. These objects were high above the trees which are very tall. As the large object moved closer and closer to us a small semi-circular shaped object was see below the larger object. I grabbed my cell phone and began taking photos of what we were seeing. It came close enough to her lawn to reflect light onto the grass. Then the semi-circular shaped object straightened itself out, as is seen in the photo, and flew at a speed I’ve never seen anything move with out of our sight behind trees. It did not return that we saw. The large object began getting very bright with almost fiery looking lights shooting out of the ring where the multi-colored lights were first observed. We watched it for what seemed like a short period of time but we later realized we had been out there watching for about an hour and a half. I have no direct memory of the object leaving or blinking out but it was just gone. I began to take photos all around in hopes of finding where it went. That’s when I got the very poor photo of what seems to be two little creatures. Also, strangely enough another glowing light appeared deep down in the woods. It would brighten when we talked to it and dim and then brighten again on request. My camera never recorded a photo of this object although I snapped them repeatedly. My friend said once during watching the object she was going to get a flashlight and go out there and look more closely. I strongly encouraged her not to do that. I felt that we were fine on the deck where we were but didn’t need to be out there any closer. We were unnaturally calm afterward and even talked about how we just sauntered back inside the house and went to bed – too calm if you ask me. Odd. – MUFON CMS
Cloaked multidimensional craft and beings following me on a daily basis
Reno, NV – I am being followed by extraterrestrials on this terra in cloaked craft hovering in other dimensions while we discuss the future of my planet, this ball of earth. They are in cloaked craft hovering about or walking, in another dimension, interacting with me in this dimension. I am the supreme commander of the intergalactic alliance, also known by the egyptians as Bennu Amun-Re or half of the Lord of the Universe. We are looking to acquire access to my craft that have crashed here on earth while i execute secondary procedure on this planet.
I am absolutely serious, this is not a joke. My wife is the sentient being that exists as their mothership onboard computer system sentient hardware abstraction layer. Don’t make this public. I want to talk to UFOlogists about this – MUFON CMS
NOTE: I don’t think MUFON will be looking into this one…just a hunch.
Hundreds of Teen Girls Struck by Unexplained Sickness
A mystery illness has overwhelmed a small town in northern Colombia as scores of teenage girls have been hospitalized with symptoms that parents fear could be an adverse reaction to a popular vaccine against cervical cancer.
Authorities say they still don’t know what caused more than 200 girls in El Carmen de Bolivar to come down with symptoms ranging from fainting to numbness in the hands and headaches. Some have hinted that the town of 95,000 near Colombia’s Caribbean coast could be experiencing a rare case of mass hysteria.
Parents are on edge however because all the girls, ranging in ages from 9 to 16, were injected in recent months with the vaccine Gardasil. On Wednesday, residents marched peacefully to demand a thorough investigation.
Francisco Vega, the town’s mayor and a trained physician, told The Associated Press that illnesses first appeared at the end of May and have been steadily increasing since. Over the weekend 120 girls were rushed to hospitals, collapsing the town’s limited medical facilities. None of their symptoms were life-threatening and all have since been released, he said.
Echoing the assurances of national health and toxicology experts, who have travelled to the town to collect blood samples and investigate possible environmental hazards, he said there’s no evidence the vaccine, which has undergone extensive testing and regulation globally, is to blame.
Meanwhile, Health Minister Alejandro Gaviria is criticizing hyped coverage by the media for stirring panic, saying concerns about their vaccine, which has been applied to 2.9 million women in Colombia, are baseless.
“On one side we have the weight of scientific evidence and on the other are opinions and moral prejudices,” he told W Radio on Wednesday, adding the cervical cancer claims the lives of more than 3,000 women every year in Colombia.
Veronica Trulin, head of communications in Latin America for Merck, said all lots of the vaccine, including the ones sent to Colombia, meet all required quality and safety standards.
“We don’t comment on speculation about our products,” she said in an email – Global News
Strange Sleep Disorder Makes People Appear ‘Totally Drunk’
If you’ve ever woken from a deep sleep in a confused state and didn’t remember the experience later, you may have a condition known as “sleep drunkenness.”
According to a new study, as many as 1 in 7 people may have this disorder, properly known as “confusional arousal,” which can lead to confused or inappropriate behavior — such as answering the phone when an alarm goes off — or even violence.
The episodes usually happen when a person is woken suddenly, and people sometimes have no memory of these incidents, said Dr. Maurice Ohayon, a sleep psychiatrist at Stanford School of Medicine and co-author of the study, detailed today (Aug. 25) in the journal Neurology. [Top 10 Spooky Sleep Disorders]
“It’s like they are totally drunk — they don’t know where they are or what they are doing,” Ohayon told Live Science.
Confusional arousal is distinct from night terrors and sleepwalking, Ohayon said. It is often seen in children, but has not been well studied in adults.
In the study, the researchers interviewed a random sample of more than 19,000 American adults about their sleep habits and history of confusional arousal, as well as any mental illness and any medications they were taking.
About 15 percent of those surveyed said they had experienced at least one bout of this “sleep drunkenness” in the previous year, more than half of whom said they suffered at least one episode per week. Slightly fewer than 10 percent of those who had had an episode couldn’t remember part or all of the experience, and 15 percent of them also had sleepwalking episodes.
Confusional arousal is different from the normal sleepiness that most people feel when they wake up, said Dr. Alan Manevitz, a clinical psychiatrist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York who was not involved with the research. Most people with sleep grogginess generally remember their experience, but people with sleep drunkenness are not aware of their actions, and attempts to fully wake them usually fail, Manevitz told Live Science.
The unusual grogginess has many different causes, depending on the individual. The researchers found that among those who’d had an episode of sleep drunkenness, 70 percent also had a sleep disorder, and 37 percent had a mental illness. Only 31 percent were taking medication for these disorders, and these were mostly antidepressants.
People suffering from depression, bipolar disorder, alcoholism, panic or post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety seemed more susceptible to the disorder, as did those with sleep apnea, a disorder in which a person briefly stops breathing during sleep, the researchers said.
Confusional arousal can also result from getting too little or too much sleep, the researchers noted. In the study, about 20 percent of people who reported getting less than 6 hours of sleep per night reported having an episode, and 15 percent of those who got at least 9 hours per night said the same, the researchers said.
The prevalence of sleep drunkenness may be cause for concern, Ohayon said. The disorder could have major consequences if it affects people with responsibility for the safety and security of others, such as pilots or emergency-room doctors, he said. – LiveScience
(N.Morgan) The question of UFOs and their occupants has held the world’s fascination for many, many, years. The possibility of life on other planets boggles the mind and opens up new doors to exploration and innovations.If there is another species out there, they may be light years ahead of us in their innovations and technologies. In this absolutely incredible capture by UFOvni2012 we see a UFO near the sun. It seems that UFOs like hovering around the sun. Is this for energy purposes?
videoPrecies 25 jaar geleden vloog de Voyager langs Triton, de maan van de planeet Neptunus. De opnames die toen werden gemaakt, zijn zopas gerestaureerd en het resultaat is verbluffend mooi.
Hoewel de binnenkant van Triton ijs is, zijn er aan de oppervlakte vulkanen en aadbreuken te zien.
Op naar Pluto De opnames werden opgepoetst door Paul Schenk, die een nieuwe kaart gebruikte met een resolutie van 600 meter per pixel en de kleuren bewerkte om een simulatie te bekomen van wat we met het menselijk oog zouden zien als we langs Triton vliegen.
De nieuwe kaart werd gemaakt met het oog op het moment dat New Horizons, het nieuwe ruimtetuig van NASA, voorbij Pluto zal vliegen. Pluto is ongeveer even groot als Triton en heeft ook een vergelijkbare samenstelling. New Horizon zal in juli volgend jaar langs Pluto passeren.
Kosmische kaskraker "Triton is misschien niet de perfecte smaakmaker voor komende attracties, maar het is wel een goede prequel op de kosmische kaskraker die we verwachten wanneer New Horizons volgend jaar Pluto bereikt", verklaart een NASA-woordvoerder.
De NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) heeft succesvol een test afgerond waarmee een grote stap is gezet richting een bemande vlucht naar Mars. De eerste onbemande vlucht naar Mars staat voor 2018 gepland.
Op het moment wordt er hard gewerkt aan het zogeheten Spance Launch System (SLS), dat er voor moet zorgen dat astronauten voortaan verder kunnen reizen dan de maan. Het uiteindelijke doel, dat in 2030 verwezenlijkt moet worden, is een bemande reis naar Mars.
"We blijven hard werken om eerder klaar te zijn, maar later dan november 2018 gaat het niet worden", aldus William Gerstenmaier, werkzaam voor de Bemande Verkenningen en Operatiemissies bij de NASA. Dan staat de eerste onbemande vlucht op het programma. Het is de bedoeling dat er een ruimtevaartuig de lucht in gaat, dat in staat is om 77 ton te tillen. Hierdoor is het mogelijk om technische missies in de ruimte uit te voeren.
Miljardenproject Overigens is het hele project een kostbare aangelegenheid. De geraamde kosten tot 2018 liggen op 7,02 miljard dollar (5,33 miljard euro). Hoeveel geld er vervolgens nog op tafel moet komen om daadwerkelijk astronauten richting Mars te sturen, is niet bekend. Maar de flinke smak centen mag de ambitie niet drukken: "We zijn altijd een land geweest dat ambitieus is op het gebied van ruimtevaart. Het is onze plicht aan de belastingbetaler om dit project succesvol te laten zijn".
Death Valley is het schouwtoneel van een van de meest mysterieuze verschijnselen die ooit gezien zijn. Al sinds 1948 waren wetenschappers met verstomming geslagen door de 'wandelende' stenen van het droge meer Racetrack Playa. Niemand zag de stenen - sommige 320 kilogram zwaar - ooit bewegen maar dat het gebeurde, was duidelijk: ze lieten sporen van soms honderden meters achter. Onderzoekers van het Oceanografisch Instituut van San Diego zijn er nu in geslaagd het geheim te ontrafelen.
Death Valley is een woestijn, bezaaid met stenen, die zich uitstrekt in de Amerikaanse staten Nevada en Californië. Het is een van de warmste plekken ter wereld. Regenen doet het er amper. Toch zijn in het zand van Death Valley altijd lange sporen te zien, die stoppen bij de rotsen. Hoe dat kon, verbaasde wetenschappers al sinds 1948. Sommigen dachten aan zandhozen, anderen staken het op de wind. Maar bewijs werd niet gevonden.
Tot nu. Onderzoekers Richard Norris en James Norris van de universiteit van Californië installeerden camera's die de stenen in beeld brachten. Enkele stenen kregen een GPS-toestel aangemeten. Dat registreerde gegevens over de bewegingssnelheid en locatie van de stenen. Hun aanpak leverde resultaat, want in december zagen beide neven de rotsen op een nacht plots bewegen.
De temperatuur was die bewuste nacht gedaald tot onder het vriespunt en door een regenbui vormde zich een laagje ijs rond de stenen. Het ijs brak daarna in grote stukken, waarop de stukken door de harde woestijnwind over een laagje water dreven en de steen op hun tocht meenamen.
De studie verscheen in het wetenschappelijke vakblad PLOS ONE. "De ironie van dit fenomeen verbaast me", zei James Norris aan de Los Angeles Times. "Op een plaats waar amper vijf centimeter regen per jaar valt, worden de stenen verplaatst door mechanismen die je vaak in poolgebieden kan waarnemen."
(N.Morgan) In this amazing catch by Sheeple TV, you get a clear visual of a UFO being bombarded and swarmed by helicopters in San Fernando, California. The helicopters look like Black hawks or some military type aircraft. Is this a simulated exercise between the UFO and military aircraft or something else? Did our military panic and send the helicopters out to shoot down the UFO?
Professor Warns Alien Abductions ARE Happening & Hybrids Live Here. Is it possible that the abduction stories are true? Is it aliens, demons or mental health issues? Professor says it IS real, it is happening more than we want to admit AND hybrid creatures are here now!
(N.Morgan) In this stunning video capture, Mister UFO presents strange noises out of Queens New York. They sound similar to the ones heard in Russia, the same, eerie, strange, unearthly sounds. These sounds could be residual sounds of HAARP activity, but I cannot say that for fact, only in theory. It could be the frequencies bouncing off of objects or something along those lines.
The HAARP sound recording may seem full of static. It is not. The rushing roaring sound of a blow torch is the HAARP signal itself, as shown by the silence or background noise of the receiver at the end of the pulse, and by the clarity of the tones at the beginning. If you wanted to see or hear the ULF (ultra low frequency) waves sent out by the HAARP transmitter, you will be disappointed here.
My receiver is not equipped to record ULF waves in the region of 1 to 10 Hz, and has an audio roll-off in the range of about 30 Hz. And besides, you can’t hear or see a 0.9 or 1 Hz signal anyway. It is way below the range of normal human hearing. You need instruments to sense it. A powerful 1 Hz sound would probably be “sensed” as a slow rolling earthquake or a slight rocking motion as on the ocean. Nonetheless, a major component and purpose of the HAARP signal is an audio modulation at the frequency of about 0.9 Hz. And what is that purpose? I’ll get to that in a moment.
2. HAARP Interaction with the Atmosphere
The HAARP pulse is primarily divided into two components. The first part is the sections marked A and B on the chart above and is the powerful “pre-heat” megawatt pulse aimed upward at the ionosphere just above the HAARP facility. As the radio waves travel up through the atmosphere they have no effect until they reach the ionosphere about 200 kilometers above the earth, which is far above the atmosphere. At that point the waves interact with the ions, which may be electrons, protons or ionized parts of atoms like oxygen, ozone or nitrogen.
3. Components of the HAARP Pulse
In portion A of the pulse, identifier tones are sent at frequencies of 360, 1000 and 1700 Hz, with some harmonics at higher frequencies visible on the graph. In part B the tones are 650 Hz with a harmonic at 1300 Hz. On the chart the yellow color indicates a very strong signal, the green indicates a medium strength signal and the blue shows a weak signal. In part C of the signal there is a continuous tone at 2100 Hz which remains during the whole pulse and sometimes several seconds afterward. There is also a much weaker tone around 2500 Hz during all of the pulse. And then there is all that green/yellow stuff at the bottom, sloping upward to the right during all of part C. What the heck is that? To explain that we need to look at the HAARP antenna itself.
Witness said: I was returning to work when I spotted so strange, slow moving object in the sky. I pulled out my camera and shot video. There was movement on the object, but no light or exhaust. Silent
Filer’s Files #35 – 2014 - War for Men's Souls - PART I
Filer’s Files #35 – 2014 - War for Men's Souls - PART I
In special reports, this week’s files cover: General Bolender Says There Were Two UFO Reporting Systems,Chemtrails and UFOs – Possible Scenarios, The War over Men’s Souls, Clark McClelland NASA Spacecraft Operator, Pentagon Says Defeating ISIS Cannot Be Done by Airstrikes Alone, and Presidents Hoover, Truman, and Eisenhower Agreed.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: Alabama, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Washington.
Sightings of UFOs were also reported in: Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, Malaysia, Spain, Turkey, and Wales in the United Kingdom.
The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The weekly intelligence report provides you with information on the latest sightings and UFO news that you need to understand the world situation. 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 and Prince Phillip told me of his personal interest in UFOs. The US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers. Forward these files to your friends and neighbors.
Special Reports
General Bolender Says There Were Two UFO Reporting Systems
I should point out the 1969 comment by Air Force General Carroll Bolender Commander of the 414th Night Fighter Squadron that “Reports of UFOs which could affect national security are made in accordance with JANAP 146 or Air Force Manual 55-11 and are not part of the Blue Book System”.
The Air Force has never told the public that they had another channel besides Project Blue Book. I think some clarification is in order. If not, please let me know what is in the other CIA UFO documents.
FOIA
Chemtrails and UFOs – Possible Scenarios
Bob Spearing www.worldufowatch.com writes, “I am a Field Investigator in New Jersey MUFON given case 57295 to investigate. It was a 17 year old sighting from 1997 of a large orb interacting with a jet spraying chemtrails over Mullica Hill NJ. Two things about the report were startling. First, the highly polished silver sphere was the “size of a penny compared to the jet which was the size of a period” claimed the witness. One of the primary jets identified in chemtrail spraying is the Air Force’s KC- 10a with a length of 181 feet and a wingspan of 165 feet. If, as an example, a period represented the length of one KC-10a and ten periods equaled the diameter of one penny then the sphere in question would be an enormous 1,810 feet in diameter. Secondly, and even more astounding in the report was the interaction the sphere had with the jet. It approached the jet from a right angle and forced the plane to divert its course a full 90 degrees in order to avoid a collision. The sphere then chased the jet until they were lost from view. This brings us to the question of what was the motive in the sphere’s intelligent, deliberate and aggressive action? Much has been written about the link between chemtrails and UFOs since 2000 when the phenomenon became obvious to Ufologists.
Filer’s Files has approached this subject on several occasions. In FFs’ 2008 #12 issue, MUFON Case # 9971 from Huntington, West Virginia tells a similar story of an orb intercepting a chemtrail jet. The witness stated ”At one point in the beginning, I thought the object was going to crash into a jet as they approached each other from opposite directions.”
Yet not all interactions with UFOs and chemtrail jets have been violent however. There are also accounts from 2000 from investigations by former Louisiana MUFON State Director Gregg Avery of orbs and spheres seemingly dancing in and out of chemtrails in a non-aggressive manner. So are these orbs and spheres friend or foe? For that matter, are chemtrail jets friends or foe. Let’s examine some scenarios.
The first hypothesis would make the UFOs hostile. Perhaps our government is aware of aggressive life forms in our upper atmosphere and is attempting to eradicate them by poisoning the atmosphere to a certain extent to make earth inhospitable to them. This would explain their aggressive behavior.
The second hypothesis would involve a friendly alien race or secret manmade DARLA-type military robots deriving energy or nutrition in our atmosphere from the chemtrails (more on chemtrail composition later). This would explain them dancing in and out of the aerosols ejected by the planes.
A third scenario would be a combination of the first two. There are multiple alien races interacting with earth. Some hostile and some cooperative with us. Some attempt to disrupt the chemtrail flights and some use the aerosol vapors as energy.
This leads us to either an extremely disconcerting or an effusively joyous revelation that alien races are already here and are benevolent but cannot yet interact with us humans because their pathogens would be detrimental to our health. As a result, prior to full disclosure by our world governments, they are enhancing our immune systems with chemtrail cocktails in anticipation of First Contact! Of course, there is another darker and chilling way to look at the last scenario that governments already have been subverted by a hostile alien race seeking to control, enslave, diminish or eliminate the human race? Could our own jets be spraying chemicals into our atmosphere to make our immune system weaker so that deadly pathogens will effectively neutralize the human race prior to an advanced hostile species subjugating earth?
The chemical composition of these chemtrails is surely intriguing. They consist of heavy metals and human blood cells among other things. Food perhaps? Or poison? One organization in pursuit of answers to these questions is the Carnicom Institute in Wallace, Idaho which has been investigating the link between chemtrail discharges and the mysterious disease known as Morgellens Syndrome. (shown below)
They have found causal links between the mysterious fibers growing on parts of Morgellens sufferers and chemtrail spraying. Extensive testing on these fibers has detected the presence of artificial blood in their composition. The Carnicom Institute’s position is that there is a mass poisoning of the world public by a consortium of governments for reasons unknown. Long gone are the days when chemtrails were thought to be simple weather modification techniques.
It has been close to 20 years since chemtrails have entered the public’s consciousness and we are getting no answers from our leaders. It has been even longer that the world has sought answers to the UFO phenomenon. We will continue to wait with eyes wide open. Chemtrails websites are: http://www.carnicominstitute.org .

The War over Men’s Souls
Brett Allen researcher states, “In 30 years of researching the paranormal, I always believed there had to be some correlating unifying theory to both ghosts and UFOs. My research into the paranormal has proven one thing… spirit orbs I once thought were hooey, are very real. From the Hopi, Dagon, Stupas (vimana), Tibet, and the Philippines also had the “gateway” and lightening patches and were involved in UFO recovery all had sacred gateways of the Anunna ki (meaning “gods of the soul”, and called guardians of the gateways).
Some orbs appear to be the manifestation of the human soul after we die; only visible to ultraviolet and infrared non-filtered cameras. To days cameras pick them up because it is much cheaper to manufacture them without such filters. This is why both UFOs (who the ancients said were “spirit” gods who could take human form-cloaked in the UV and IR) and ghosts can be captured by today’s technology, when not visible to the human eye. The ancient Mesopotamia bible spoke of both spirits and the soul. Nearly every ancient civilization makes reference to the soul; Egypt built a technological civilization around them. They were quite obviously doing something with high voltage; Tesla coils and particle accelerators, to harness and launch the soul. From the Zoroastrians, to Mesopotamia, even the Maya and pre-Columbians, all had this knowledge.
My work with spirit orbs, both in my own haunted study location, and in photos sent to me by friends, shows obvious faces show up in these orbs. I believe even the Mayan calendar round was a spirit orb, as they also knew that night was “the realm of the dead.” But perhaps UFOlogist and NASA/CIA insider John Lear puts it all in perspective when he claims there was a soul capturing and processing machine that the alien’s operate on our moon.
In fact NASA’s recent bombing of the Moon may have been to destroy one such structure. Recent photos captured over my own home, on a lake where some 4000 graves were opened may also vindicate his claims. A bright light on a rectangular UFO was seen with what the ancients referred to as a GATE hanging off the end of the rectangle. I believe the craft was sweeping the area for “lost souls.” If this is not true, why are there so many references to the soul in ancient cultures? In our own Bible we are told the war in Heaven happened over Men’s Souls, that we can PRESERVE the soul, the SOUL goes on, saving the soul, Life EVERLASTING, etc?
This is information it took me thirty years to obtain, running into soul references everywhere I looked. From the Faravahar, to the red orb seen all over Egypt, it is present everywhere and often called serpent of dragon. In the Solomon Islands, dragon orbs can be seen going in and out of the sea where the Battle of Guadalcanal was fought, often in war UFOs and Foo Fighters are everywhere… Why is the human soul so important? It is disturbing, but your own search will surely lead you to the same conclusion. We have forgotten this very vital piece of our history.
Faravahar Wing
Extraterrestrials once called Angels are here for one thing, the soul. How many reports come back from abductees saying the aliens seemed to be interested in my soul? It’s as if they separated me from my soul? BECAUSE THEY DID. The scary part is I came to this conclusion before over hearing of John Lear or his claim.
In the 90s I had a very strange visitor who refused to identify himself, only that we worked with a group that was aware of my work and that if I was deemed worthy, they might release to me the answers. He interviewed me, a journalist and media professional, about my world views on religion, aliens and the paranormal. Since that time, although seeing them since youth, I have seen many more UFOs, and many red orbs. There is a long list of Ufologists who have come to these same unorthodox conclusions. On the 21st, March 2004, John Lear was talking on the Art Bell show stating on Coast 2 Coast AM, that a massive cube has been found on the moon, and that this cube is responsible for not only holding human souls here on Earth, but that after you die, the cube pulls your soul to it, and then erases your memory, and then reinserts your soul into a new baby to repeat the process over and over again.
Earth was taken over about 200 thousand years ago, and humanity is a genetically engineered slave race, but it is the souls of light that are the real reason for all of this. The souls of light are used as food by the Reptilians. They need a constant supply of emotional food to enable them to do anything. Without a fuel source, negative souls are dead in the water, and are completely powerless. In 2007, while on the cover of UFO Magazine, I pitched an idea for a series based on our ancient connection to space aliens, and the history it involves. That idea was usurped. From Kennedy to NASA, from religion to cold wars, from Forestall to the Annunaki, everything has been orchestrated to keep this information silent, and those who do try to decimate it, usually end up dead.
Mankind is an alien controlled experiment that has something to do with the soul. The aliens refer to us as containers. There is a cube on the Moon with an antenna. The antenna sends and receives souls. If someone dies an unscheduled death the antenna doesn’t pick up their soul and the resulting energy remains on Earth as a ghost.
When there is a major disaster like 911
the aliens send down giant soul collectors to recover the souls. Increase in homosexuality is caused by the cube placing male souls in female bodies and vice versa. This cube falls right in line with what I’ve said before. Check it out. The human race has been the subject of severe intrusion, not only within our lives, liberties, and justices, but with our very own unique and precious DNA. It is postulated that over 97% of our so-called “junk DNA” is actual genetic coding of extraterrestrial life forms. This signifies that the “junk DNA” carries the history and family codes of our very own “star essence.” It continues to be debated whether our Divine Blueprint created by some “Higher Power.” The bottom line is most of us unknowingly carry the Keys to Eternal Freedom for All within our DNA, and yet we aren’t quite sure how to reach these Keys, commune with them, or bring them to full activating potential.
When we talk amongst ourselves, we KNOW we are here for a far greater purpose than to just live out this life. We are being constantly challenged to take the lead in becoming our true selves, removing our masks, standing tall in what we know to be truth, honoring others in the process, and kicking up our empowerment and mastery in order to step into The New Reality. All our heeded archetypes of the past have been shaken, if not shattered, and we are being called to blaze another New Trail to New Discoveries of our Cosmic Self. Thanks to Brett Allen
Editor’s Note: - And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.Matthew 10:28 . At death the spirit (soul) of the righteous go to heaven. 2 Corinthians 5:8. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Clark McClelland NASA Spacecraft Operator
Clark McClelland is a retired ScO SClark and NASA Astronauts (left) David Leetsma and (right) Brian Duffy, while we were preparing their Space Shuttle in the background, 1991.
There are many photos with astronauts etc.pacecraft Operator with NASA who during a 34 year career was responsible for ensuring the safety of numerous NASA missions including Mercury spaceflights, Apollo missions, the International Space Station and the Space Shuttle. Clark wrote, I personally observed an 8 to 9 foot tall ET on a 27 inch video monitors while on duty in the Kennedy Space Center, Launch Control Center (LCC). Space Shuttle Columbia during STS-80 took a crew of five astronauts into a 17 day, 15 hour and 54 minute mission around the earth, the longest flight in the history of this vehicle. During this flight a very strange event occurred that crewman Dr. Story Musgrave was unable to explain and exactly what he observed from the shuttle windows. I had a friend who knew Musgrave who will talk about UFOs.
A large disc shaped object appeared below the Columbia. The shuttle was approximately, 190 Nautical miles high. Astronaut Dr. Story Musgrave, a Payload Specialist on the STS-80 Mission, was interviewed following the flight. As he viewed a videotape of the incident which showed lightning flashes in the atmosphere, the city lights of Denver, Colorado and other earthbound sights, he stated: “I don’t know what it is. Whether it’s a washer, debris, ice particles, I don’t know. But it’s characteristic of the thousands of things which I’ve seen.”
Clark has served his country well and is now in great pain and ill. He could use your help and prayers. You can write him at P.O. Box 233 Tavares, Florida 32778. http://www.stargate-chronicles.com
Disaster at Fukuishima
CBS 60 minutes on August 24, 2014, reports nothing to worry about at Fukuishima Power Plant is being fixed.. I felt the program was a complete whitewash of the radiation going into the Pacific Ocean. They showed how the whales are reproducing in large numbers.
Pentagon Says Defeating ISIS Cannot Be Done by Airstrikes Alone
Otto Kreisher writes, “Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said the Islamic State (ISIS) terrorists rampaging through Iraq and Syria are “an imminent threat” to the United States and it will require a prolonged struggle to defeat them. The US-led airstrikes in northern Iraq have “stalled” ISIS’s advance and allowed the Iraqi and Kurdish forces “to regain the initiative” and retake the crucial Mosul Dam,” said Hagel.
However, Hagel repeatedly said ISIL will not be beaten by airstrikes alone. Dempsey said the effect of the 298 “targeted airstrikes” shows that “it is possible to contain them,” but “not in perpetuity.” He stressed that defeating ISIL in Iraq requires a unifying government in Baghdad that the Iraqi Sunnis and Kurds will support. Attacks will be needed in Syria the home base of ISIS. ISIS is predominately Sunni and gained ground rapidly in Sunni-dominated areas because the Iraqis there would not support the primarily Shia Iraqi Army. Hagel said. “The Pentagon would continue its current limited missions, but would “consider all options.”
House Homeland Security Chair Rep. Michael McCaul said today he believes that ISIS, the jihadist army that has taken control of large part of Iraq and brutally murdered American journalist James Foley, has external operations under way to hit the West. “Their focus right now is establishing the caliphate. But don’t kid yourself for a second, they [are] intent on hitting the West. And there are external operations, I believe, under way,” McCaul, R-Texas, told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on “This Week.”
“We have tens of thousands of foreign fighters from all over the world pouring into this safe haven that’s now been established, including hundreds of Americans with Western passports and legal travel documents, which would enable them not only to travel to Western Europe, but to the United States,” McCaul added. Reuters says Syria says they will would work with any state to fight Islamist militants
Reuters reports the United Nations on Monday condemned “appalling, widespread” crimes by Islamic State forces in Iraq, including mass executions of prisoners. Up to 670 prisoners from Badush prison in the city of Mosul were killed by Islamic State on June 10. Sunni inmates were then separated and removed. “ISIS gunmen then yelled insults at the remaining prisoners, lined them up in four rows, ordered them to kneel and opened fire.”
Presidents Hoover, Truman, and Eisenhower Agreed
Did you know what US Presidents Hoover, Truman, and Eisenhower have in common? This is something that should be of great interest for you to pass around. I didn’t know of this until it was pointed out to me.
Back during the great depression, Herbert Hoover ordered the deportation of ALL illegal aliens in order to make jobs available to American citizens that desperately needed work.
Harry Truman deported over two million illegal aliens after WWII to create jobs for returning veterans.
In 1954, Dwight Eisenhower deported 13 million illegal aliens. It was done so WWII and Korean War veterans would have a better chance at jobs. It took two years, but they deported them! Now, if they could deport the illegal aliens back then, they could surely do it today? Actually the answer is quite simple. Hoover, Truman, and Eisenhower were men of honor, not self-serving politicians looking for votes!

Filer’s Files #35 – 2014 - War for Men's Souls - PART II
Sightings in the United States
Alabama Disc
Decatur – I was walking my dog when I saw something in the air onJune 26, 2014 at 7:45 PM.
I had my smart phone with me and took a picture, but it was quickly gone. When I got home I looked at the photo a little more carefully and saw that it was in the photo.
I do not believe in these kind of things, but what I saw looked like a UFO and it moved very fast. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com
California Disc
Lake Matthews — My girlfriend witnessed this on her way home and pulled over twice to video and take pictures on July 22, 2014.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
San Diego — My brother was in with his girlfriend and they were taking some pictures in 2012. Just recently they looked back at the photos on a large screen TV and noticed a black dot in the photos. We also played around with the color, contrast, brightness of the pictures were amazed. We would love to have them reviewed by professionals. It looks to be some disturbance of the air around the craft. It looks like a key hole in the sky and what is going on there. If you zoom in to 800% you can observe the strange phenomenon happening in the sky. My brother and I are both professionals and my background is bio/chem/physics so we are not crazy folks looking for attention. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Colorado Light
Highlands Ranch — I saw a large red and white light in the eastern sky out of my kitchen window on August 18, 2014. It was the night of the “super moon” and the light appeared slightly larger than a planet, but smaller than the moon. It was strange because it appeared red on the left side and white on the right side. It was hovering, as if it were a star and then moved quickly straight up .and then down. I called my husband and adult son to come out on our deck to watch. The light moved left and then right. Through my telephoto lens and I saw a large orange orb with other colored orbs behind it. The orb first seemed round, but then appeared somewhat hexagonal. The light then changed into four lights, two yellow lights a red light and a green one. We all felt we were witnessing a UFO. The lights appeared to land behind some distant trees.Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Lights
Bunnell — My daughter and I were driving east on Mahogany Drive toward CR 305 at 8:45 PM, on August 20, 2014. At the stop sign, looking east, we saw three very bright lights hovering above the fields. At first we both it was a small airplane, but my daughter said. “That’s not an airplane!” We then turned east on CR 302 to follow a bright white light. She tried several times to get a photo but trees were blocking and followed turning south onto CR 65 to see if we could get a picture. We drove to a clear area and looked west but the lights were no longer there so we went home. She checked her pictures at home and we were surprised by this image. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Illinois Giant Spaceship
Waltonville — I was out fishing with friends, when I noticed this ship just cruising along at a very high altitude on August 23, 2014. I had no way of getting a picture, but this thing had to be at least a half mile long or longer. It had a slight glow to it. It reminded me of some of the giant ships in the Star Wars movie. This is an outline of the craft. Please remember this is just the bottom of the object so I have no idea on how tall this thing was. It was flying in a straight path heading north from my location. I was amazed by this experience. I live in a hotspot for UFO activity. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Louisiana Bell
West Monroe — My wife and I notice an orange bell shape object float about 200 to 300 feet above the ground that I could see through on August 24, 2014.
It headed north then turned 90 degrees east. No sound at all watched it until it disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Michigan Cigar
Clinton Township— I was taking pictures with my Nikon D3100 camera using an 18mm-55mm lens to capture lightning strikes from a storm that was heading over my residence at 6:25 PM, on August 19, 2014. The storm was moving east and I was shooting when a lightning bolt was discharged from the wall cloud and I managed to capture two pictures of this cigar like object. After taking 145 photos of this storm, I saw two pictures with a cigar shaped object following the south end of the wall cloud. The cigar was only visible after I reviewed my photos on my computer. The object was a dull gray/black, solid body, no lights or windows or protruding areas. The ends are rounded and fit the cigar shape perfectly. It was 30-50 feet in length and about 800 feet high and followed in back of the main wall cloud that contained high winds and rain. It moved to the east, along with the storm. It had moved hundreds of feet in less than 4 seconds silently. A few times my camera would NOT shoot for as long as 5 seconds. There are four pictures without the object. I am sending in the enhanced (contrast/brightness/cropped) picture above.
Adding to this report is an enhanced sepia color picture to make this previous object more visible captured last year on June 17, 2013. This is another picture from a previous rotating wall/funnel cloud and object in case you want to compare the objects from this storm and the recent storm in this report. There is another similar cigar similar to the object shaped in this recent report. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Nevada Blue Orb
Las Vegas – I was scanning the southern sky in mid August from my upstairs patio because a couple of days ago I saw a group or stars that appeared like they were in a circle. I had the camera on and all of a sudden I got a warning on the LCD that stated, “This battery is incompatible with your camera.” I thought I would go in and change the battery, but then I remembered how another sighting turned off my cell phone. I had zoomed in when I saw a blue, pulsating light that was changing colors. I could not get a good edge detail, as there was some kind of aura around it. My cell phone got turned off 3 more times, so I got another battery and was able to film for 20 minutes. It was not a star, as it constantly changed colors in an amazing way. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Jersey Wedge
Atlantic City – A Ufo hovered about 1 mile off the coast with a large rectangle light on the front of it on July 20, 2014. It was wedge shaped as it passed over our heads with two small blue lights underneath the wing tips. The object was about 500 feet over our heads high. We work at Revel Casino and were checking the outdoor pools and spas on the 5th the floor. It passed over very slowly, no more than 40-50 mph. The building blocked the view after it passed by. At first we thought it was a coast guard helicopter doing night rescue missions. It was very exciting to see it. This was my second time seeing a ufo. My first was the summer of 1967, which I also made a report on. The photo is a rendering/ Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org
Ohio Object
Malvern — My brother and I were driving home on Saturday, August 2, 2014 at 1:30 AM and we saw a group of lights hovering above the trees over the town. At first there were 6 to 8 orange and red balls of light moving around in circle rotations. There was no sound as they just disappeared from sight. A few minutes later two more balls of light came across town from the same direction. They were moving east to west. They seemed to be moving slow, but they went across the sky in just a few seconds. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com
Lakewood — I was returning to work when I spotted a strange, slow moving object in the sky on August 20, 2014.
I pulled out my camera and shot video. There was movement on the object, but no light or exhaust. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Oregon Orb
Eugene— I saw what looked like straw or chaff falling from the sky while I was on the backyard patio. Some fell in the yard. It is harvest season up and down the Willamette Valley. I was looking for more falling ‘straw’ with my camera, when I saw something else that wasn’t falling straw like material. The object was bright white and looked as if a sheet of white paper was flipping way high in the sky. My camera was handy: Nikon D3000 DSLR with a 55-200mm zoom lens. I got about 17 good shots at full 200mm zoom. I was also watching vultures that seemed to appear in places I had been watching where there was nothing before. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Light
Zapata– On August 12, 2014, we discovered this glowing red anomaly at 8:50 PM. CDT
This is a very interesting catch as it is possibly a ball lightning event, given the electrical storm activity at the time. Ball lightning is still relatively rare to witness, let alone recording it on video.
Note a similar object quickly appearing and disappearing at the top left area of the frame, right at the 00.12 mark. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com
Utah Orb
Lake Powell — While using my multi shot feature on my iPhone 5s, in an attempt to capture lightning strikes I captured this object on August 18, 2014. They are in order, and if the iPhone multi shot takes one frame per fraction of a second, these four frames show an undistinguishable orb traveling at un-earthly speeds in a perfectly direct trajectory. There is an appearance of some sort of colorization that matches the clouds, but as it moves from darker clouds to lighter, the dark color remains. If threes four shot encompass about 2.5 seconds, it appears to travel about 50 miles per second. I thought you might investigate further. With one saturation level I find something that appears to be a ring.Thanks to MUFON CMS
Virginia UFO
Wytheville– On August 9th, 2014, at around 4 PM, my mother, my daughter and I were traveling on 77 North (about 30 miles south of Wytheville. Traffic was moving very slow and was continuously “jamming” up to a slow crawl. I was the passenger, my mother was driving and my 10 year old daughter was in the back seat. I took the opportunity to photograph views of the countryside, being that we are from Michigan and randomly photographed it. I decided to flip through my photos I had taken, when I came across this one. I must say I was pretty surprised as I did not see this object. I know it was not the rearview mirror. There was no sun out, and it was raining and foggy, so I discounted any type of sun reflection. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Washington Disc
Gig Harbor – I was on the beach at low tide on Forest Beach on Monday, August 11, 2014 around noon with my children and grandchildren. I was photographing everyone catching crabs and star fish and looking at shells on the beach. I just decided to take a picture of the horizon and the lovely scenery at 12:04 PM. I did not see anything unusual. However, when I downloaded the photos later that day I saw the round yellow object in four sequential (rapid shot) photos and the object was in a different position in each one. I am not saying it’s a UFO, but everyone who has seen the photos says it has to be. It was too far from land to be a Frisbee or a remote control plane. When I zoomed in close on the computer, the object definitely “looks” like a UFO with a little bulge on the top with windows. I was looking out over Hales Passage (part of Puget Sound). Thanks to MUFON CMS
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Australia Lights
Sydney — I took these pictures of a sunset for my fiancé at a marina on August 6, 2014. After looking at the pictures later that evening I noticed three bright dots on the horizon and to my amazement after zooming in look like very bright sphere shaped objects hovering. It was in the west as it was a sunset and they were a bright golden color. Credit and copyright should go to Keith Condosiadis.
Note: This photo could be Chinese Lanterns or some sort of reflection. Of course, it could be “real” UFOs? The witness requested a copyright credit so this was included in the report. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Ladysmith — I observed this object at many times while living there. This photo was taken on June 11, 2014.
I’ve also seen it in other places of the province. I have since moved to Alberta, and have not encountered the object or likeness here yet.

Maidstone, Saskatchewan— My Husband and I were driving east along the Yellow Head Highway #16 on July 22, 2014. Sometime after midnight we drove into Maidstone to get some rest. We were facing south at the corner of Railway Avenue and Third Street when we saw the object above a field not far from us. I saw a white streak across the sky that suddenly stopped and just hung in the air. It was a long oval that seemed to divide into two rainbow colored parts with a bright white light at one end. My husband and I asked each other if we saw what we were seeing as it divided and disappeared silently.
My Husband’s account of the same sighting was it was 300 meters away and filled up half the windshield. It looked like it was made of a cluster of tubes, green with 2 or 3 red lights at the end. At one end there was a bright white and yellow glow almost like a mist. The colors on it were the brightest and most vivid I have ever seen. In a split second it shot away from us and was gone. Both of us spent more than 10 years in the Canadian military and know aircraft and this was nothing like we have ever seen before. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Malaysia Object
Penang - I took a photo at the beach of our hotel resort where I stayed for personal vacation on 30th April 2014.
I didn’t notice the object when I took the photo. I just found out there’s a strange object in this photo four months later.
The object changed direction. I didn’t notice the object when I took the photo. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Santa Cruz de La Palma — Still in the Villa de Mazo near the Mirador Las Toscas (Island of La Palma) I was photographing stars and night landscapes on August 6, 2014. I was taking photos and tracked the object and wanted to check where they came from. The object was near a mountaintop covered with forest and looked liked two flashlights with very clear lights. I saw that they were flying very slowly in a horizontal line with their lights fixed, one in front of the other. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Turkey Disc
Thalasso Resort– My brother was on holiday in Turkey with his family on August 11, 2014. He sent his holiday photos to the family and I noticed the photo attached. I asked him about the object in the sky and he said he hadn’t noticed it. We couldn’t figure out what it is. I hope you can provide an explanation.
Bursa – On August 20. 2014, we were sitting on the balcony and we saw a dark red-orange light. The light at first was growing and then small and eventually disappeared after four seconds.
We thought that undefined flying object was from another planet because we saw UFOs for a long time in the evenings. We sighted UFOs three times for a few minutes. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Eskiþehir – I did not observe it by the naked eye, I only saw it when I was checking my photos on August 9, 2014. Last year my wife and I visited our friends at Eskiþehir, a large city in middle region of Turkey.
I was taking photos of my friends and my wife. None of us observed anything in the sky. Days after, when I was viewing the photographs, I saw a thing on a photo that I couldn’t explain. I attached this picture below. Maybe it’s a reflection. Thanks to MUFON CMS
United Kingdom/Wales Disc
Swansea, South Wales— During the early morning a retired solider looked up and spotted this UFO hovering over the city in
Swansea. Mr. Lewis use to be in the Royal Armored Corps, and immediately ruled out the possibility of this object being a plane or helicopter. Such bell shaped UFOs have been seen in the past. SCW
Mr. Lewis stated: “It was very hot in my bedroom so I opened the window and noticed a strange, stationary object hovering above Swansea,” he said.
“The object made no noise and my first notion was perhaps it was an exceptionally large bird of prey however the object remained stationary for at least five minutes.”

THE NEVER-ENDING BATTLE BETWEEN BELIEVERS AND DEBUNKERSby Sean Casteel.
Is it possible to literally “speak” to the dead? Can a gifted medium actually help us to converse with a loved one who has passed on? The supreme logician, Arthur Conan Doyle, believed it IS possible, while his rival, the magician Harry Houdini, decried the practice as a cruel fraud. Read the story of their sometimes bitter feud in “Revealing the Bizarre Powers of Harry Houdini.” More...
ARISTOCRAT VAMPIRES WELL-TO-DO CORPSE MEDICINEby Peter Fotis Kapnistos.
“They have long been famed for their love of lavish banquets and rich recipes. But what is less well known is that the British royals also had a taste for human flesh.” Two 2011 books on medicinal cannibalism (or blood medicine) have revealed that British royalty routinely swallowed parts of the human body.

THE BILLY MEIER SPACE PHOTOS CONTROVERSYby Michael Horn.
Somewhere, 1,340 photographs taken in outer space by Billy Meier in 1975, are in the possession of certain parties most likely affiliated with the CIA…America’s actual secret government. The people who stole those photographs know a few things. They know that Billy Meier’s contacts with extraterrestrials, ongoing now for over 72 years, are authentic. They also know – but probably don’t want to accept – the fact that the best laid, most nefarious, deadly and misguided plans for world domination set in motion decades ago…are doomed to failure. And there’s no gloating here because that failure effectively means extremely bad things for the people of this country…and many others. More...
THE TRIBUTE TO OUR JESTER - THE PLANTARD TAROT OF RENNES-LE-CHATEAUby Mary Alice Bennett.

COULD WASHINGTON D.C. BE PROTECTED BY ANCIENT EGYPTIAN TECHNOLOGY?by T. H. Hughes.
For many decades, perhaps earlier than that even, people in the Washington DC area have noticed a strange occurrence when it comes to their local weather. Specifically, severe storms mostly in the summer when on a direct course to impact the District of Columbia tend to break or split apart at the last minute. Local weathermen have been asked about this many times. Acknowledging that the phenomenon does exist and occurs frequently, their usual explanation is that the storms split apart due to the heat island effect. This effect is caused by the concentration of structures and buildings of Washington giving off more heat than the surrounding area. Yet we generally do not see this with other cities. Storms generally tend to intensify over cities. More...
STRANGE HUMANOID ENCOUNTERS WITH TRANSIENT VISITORSby Scott Corrales.
At some point in the 1990s I had a conversation with Dr. Rafael A. Lara Palmeros, director of research for Mexico’s C.E.F.P organization regarding the motives of individuals who develop an unhealthy attraction to UFO and paranormal phenomena. Dr. Lara mentioned a case involving a certain gentleman from Central Mexico who openly expressed his wish to be “contacted by aliens”, as that would be the solution to all his problems, real or imagined. He went as far as to offer money – not small amounts, ether – to any researcher, contactee or psychic who could make his wish come true. More.

THE LONG ISLAND ORBS OF AUGUST 15, 2014by Cheryl Costa.
This story is about two interesting and perhaps related UFO sighting incidents on Long Island. The first sighting was at about 10 p.m. in North Babylon, NY located in Suffolk County. Harvey, a local resident, was walking up his drive way that evening and per chance glanced up and observed three red orbs. He tells us that for more than fifteen minutes he observed these objects several different times. More
UPROAR IN VALLE FERTIL OVER ALLEGED UFO IN ARGENTINAby Scott Corrales.
Residents of the department of Valle Fertil report seeing a UFO flying over the area on Thursday afternoon. It vanished two hours later. Photos have appeared on social media showing a light in the sky, and local residents affirm that it is the unidentified flying object. Furthermore, minutes before the alleged UFO's manifestation, there was a slight tremor that frightened the locals, who related it to the subsequent event. More...
ENCOUNTER AT EDWARDSby Jeff Krause.
One of the most troubling aspects of the whole UFO phenomena to me, are the numerous accounts of encounters on military installations, and the subsequent cover up’s, and improper treatment of personnel involved. This is a practice that began within days of the crash at Roswell, when President Truman ordered the creation of the National Security Council by Public Law 80-253, approved on July 26, 1947, and thus the lid was successfully clamped down on the biggest event in the history of the world!

THE WONDERFUL WONDROUS GOLDEN AGEby Louis Hart.
Back on a certain date in the year 2012 it was believed that great changes were to happen to this planet and its residents. Do you remember? There were three schools of thought as to what would take place. One group believed it was the beginning of a wonderful new golden age. That there would be a total overnight change in consciousness and everyone would awaken the next day with hearts so full of love that they were about to burst. More...
BOOK REVIEW ON SPIRITUAL LIBERATIONby Ron Murdock .
"Surrender to life. Allow life to lead you, don't try to lead life. Don't try to manipulate and control life. Let life possess you. You simply surrender. You give total power to life and be with it." - Lao-Tzu. I first heard of Michael Beckwith when I read The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. Beckwith had made some contributions to the book along with a short bio of his at the end of the book. Not long afterwards I wrote an article on home Churches for UFO Digest. A person responded to my article and recommended that I check out what Michael Beckwith had to say. Finally I was able to get my hands on a book written by Beckwith, this being Spiritual Liberation. I started reading it to find out for myself on what Beckwith had to say.. More...Also read: BOOK REVIEW ON SPIRITUAL LIBERATION (Part II)

Two Kentucky witnesses at Lexington reported watching a silent, triangle-shaped UFO hovering overhead that seemed to move away “instantaneously,” according to testimony in Case 59404 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witnesses were outside in their backyard on July 15, 2014, when a black, triangle-shaped object was seen hovering over their home.
The witnesses watched as the object seemed to move away ‘instantaneously.’ . Pictured: Street scene in Lexington. (Credit: Google)
“We were both lying on our back and it was directly above us in the sky,” the reporting witness stated. “I looked at it for at least a minute before pointing it out to my boyfriend, who then also studied it. He confirmed that it was black (or at least dark) and triangular-shaped.”
The object moved away quickly.
“I’m not terribly great with direction, but it seemed to be pointing in an easterly direction. As we lay there discussing it for at least another minute, we watched the object slowly rotate (as if on an axis) in the completely opposite direction (west) – making no noise and showing no fuel trails- and then it was just gone.”
The object seemed to instantaneously disappear.
“It didn’t disappear so much as zoomed off at such a fast pace as to make it seem instantaneous. I do not know if this is pertinent but I had been pointing at it at the time it turned and disappeared.”
Lexington is the second-largest city in Kentucky and the 61st largest in the United States, population 308,428. The above quotes were edited for clarity. No images were included with the MUFON report, which was filed on August 29, 2014.

Shipton's Yeti footprint photographson sale at Christie's
In 1951 Sen Tensing, Shipton, and I descended from the Menlung La ... at about 16,000-17,000 feet we came across a whole series of footprints in the snow, on the lower part of the glacier. There seemed to be two groups, one rather indistinct in outline leading on to the surrounding snowfields. The others were much more distinct with, in places, a markedly individual imprint etched in the 2- to 4-inch covering of snow. We had no means of measuring so after examining them Shipton took four photographs: two of the indistinct prints with myself, my footprints, and rucsac beside them for comparison; the other two photographs were of one of the most detailed and distinct group of prints, with my ice axe for scale, and a second one with my booted foot. The footprint was about the same length as my boot, and I take a size 42 continental, or 8½ British, which is about 12 to 13 inches long. The print was nearly twice as broad as my boot (3 to 4 inches) and had clear-cut edges in the crystalline snow on a base of firm snow ice. There was the definite imprint of a big toe that was broader and shorter than the other rather indistinct toes, of which there seemed to be four or five. We followed these tracks for some way down the easy glacier and noticed that whenever a narrow 6-inch-wide crevasse was crossed there seemed to be claw marks in the snow at the end of the toe imprints. ... Two days later we were joined by Murray and Bourdillon, who, after visiting the Nangpa La ... had followed our route into the Menlung Basin. All tracks had been deformed by the sun and wind.' (Michael Ward, 'Everest 1951: the footprints attributed to the Yeti -- myth and reality', Wilderness and Environmental Medicine, 8, 29-32 (1997)).
Shipton's photographs ignited speculation about the existence of a Yeti which had been growing since N.A. Tombazi made the first European sighting during an expedition to the Sikkim Himalaya in 1925.
Edmund Hillary had a further encounter in 1952 on a pass between the Ngojumba and Khumbu glaciers: 'We were climbing quite a steep pitch when Pemba stopped and picked something off the rock. Obviously greatly excited, he showed it to Angpemba. Feeling somwhat curious, I asked them what it was all about. They placed in my hand a tuft of long black hairs -- thick and coarse, they looked more like bristles than anything else. "Yeti, Sahib! Yeti!" I couldn't help being impressed by their conviction, and it did seem a strange place to find some hair. We were well over 19,000 feet and the Abominable Snowman was obviously no mean rock climber' (Hillary, High Adventure, 1955, p. 103).
Following these various incidents, Hillary mounted an expedition in 1960 to collect and evaluate evidence of the Yeti, with inconclusive results. British mountaineer Don Whillans was a fervent believer, claiming he encountered the Yeti while scaling Annapurna in 1970. He observed a few human-like footprints in the snow around his camp one morning and, that evening, claimed that through binoculars he watched a bipedal, ape-like creature for about 20 minutes as it apparently searched for food not far from his camp.
The Yeti, one of cryptozoology’s highest profile creatures. Does it really exist? There is a distinct lack of hard scientific evidence for it, but the members on this expedition swore blind that they didn’t hoax the photographs … so what made them?
15th human foot washes ashore in the Pacific northwest
A human foot, still inside a New Balance tennis shoe washed ashore in Seattle this week — and if that wasn’t mystery enough, it’s the FIFTEENTH foot that’s washed ashore along the Pacific Northwest coast since 2007!
15 human feet have washed ashore along the Pacific Northwest coast — from Canada down to Tacoma — over the last seven years.
And no one seems to know where they’re coming from.
“Who knows where they originated?” resident Albert Hulsen told FOX31 sister station Q13 FOX in Seattle. “Maybe it’s not from this area at all but from one of the surrounding islands.”
FOX6’s sister station, Q13FOX in Seattle says the latest foot was discovered last Tuesday, August 19th — by volunteers picking up trash.
A forensic anthropologist with the King County Medical Examiner’s Office, where the foot is being examined says the foot likely wasn’t severed, but detached from the body as it decomposed at sea.
“The bones fall apart. They (feet in shoes that have washed ashore) are not being severed. They’re not being purposely cut off. Tennis shoes not only protect the feet but they’re also buoyant, and so they either float on the surface, or they’re in the high part of the water column, so they will float in with the tide,” the forensic anthropologist said.
The Medical Examiner’s Office has released a picture of the tennis shoe in which the foot was found in an attempt to identify the person who wore the shoes.
Q13FOX reports it is a New Balance shoe, men’s size 10 1/2. It is a white sneaker with blue trim.
This model of shoe was first available for purchase in April of 2008.
A black, cotton Hanes sock was on the foot when it was found.
There is no word on whether authorities have made any effort to link this foot to the other 14 that have washed ashore since 2007.
So where are these feet coming from?
A local expert on tides told Q13FOX the feet could be local — or they could be winding up in the Northwest by way of the Strait of Georgia in Canada or the Strait of Juan de Fuca that connects the Puget Sound near Seattle to the Pacific Ocean. - Fox6Now
It's 16-year-old Kyle Naegeli's hobby. And the Katy High School junior is quite good at it. He claims to have caught hundreds of fish using this method.
Naegeli has been a drain angler for four years now, using a hook and fishing line, with hot dogs (“the cheap ones” he says) and shad fish acting as bait.
“Sometimes it takes a few hours to catch something,” he says, maintaining that sewer fishing takes patience. Naegeli doesn't eat the sewer fish, owing to its questionable origins. The fish swim into the sewer line from a nearby pond.
The mysterious ‘earthquake lights’ phenomenon was seen over Napa Valley during the recent seismic event:
MOUNTAIN VIEW (KPIX 5) – Several people called the KPIX 5 newsroom after Sunday morning’s magnitude 6.0 earthquake in Napa, reporting mysterious flashes of light in the sky. Witnesses said the strange phenomenon looked like lightning.
Similar flashes of light have been reported in earthquakes around the world, from Japan to Peru.
Friedemann Freund, a scientist with the SETI Institute in Mountain View, said the same thing happened during Sunday morning’s earthquake. And it wasn’t a transformer blowing up or UFOs.
“What they are, are a consequence of the stresses building up deep below the earth, seven miles like in the case of the Napa Valley earthquake,” Freund told KPIX 5.
He calls the phenomenon “earthquake lights,” the quick buildup of stress that causes an electric current to flow to the surface and burst through the earth. This typically happens before or during an earthquake.
Several North Bay witnesses contacted Freund at the SETI Institute about seeing several flashes around the time the Napa quake hit. They said there was one or two seconds between each one.
The bizarre flashes were documented all over Twitter.
Freund has been studying the lights for 12 years. His team recently looked at 65 occurrences around the world over the last 400 years. Most seismologists don’t believe such things are real.
“There are things that we still don’t understand about the earth, so why not accept unusual, exceptionally unusual phenomena taking place? And the light outburst from the ground is one of them.” – San Francisco CBS Local
A recent high level meeting sanctioned by Chile’s Civil Aviation Department and included 19 highly qualified experts from an array of specialties has concluded that interestingly enough ” UFOs do not present a threat to any other aircraft.” The meeting was taken very seriously – all reports and records, including the entire government’s archive, even the type of reports that would likely remain highly classified in other countries were thoroughly evaluated.
All participants of this meeting stated that UFOs are a real phenomenon, in fact they considered their existence to be obvious. Why is the government of Chile so open and even serious about this topic when the rest of the world seems to either remain silent, secretive, and even dismissive with dodgy explainations like weather balloon malfunctions or military flare ?
The international affairs director for the Chile’s Civil Aviation Department blatantly stated quote “For Chileans, this is completely normal and we don’t consider it news at all.” The stark contrast in government and cultural attitudes between Chile and that of, let’s use the USA as an example, towards the exact same phenomenon is so strange that it even becomes a little creepy. Perhaps the reason other governments aren’t as open as Chile’s about UFO phenomenon could be because they have more to hide.
Certain other governments of the world, may understand the true reality of strange objects in the sky at a depth so far past that of Chile……that, for whatever reason, they became so afraid of what could happen if certain information was shared publicly that they scared themselves into a position of silence, secrecy, and denial.
The results of their analysis and meeting were that UFOs pose a degree risk that would only be a fraction of the same risk posed by a bird flying in the air – most of the risk was associated with the pilots or crew members being distracted.
Interestingly, though, they went on to say that some airborn accidents have been attributed to UFOs around the world, however, they could not find solid evidence the UFO was actually related.
According to worldwide data, whatever intelligence controls UFOs seemingly means no harm towards anyone else it’s sharing the skies with….additionally, they even seem to behave in ways that reduce their risk of an airborne collision.
According to Chile, it’s basically undeniable that some sort of unidentified flying objects exist in our skies but what their goal is is still completely unclear. Perhaps Chile’s initiative towards transparency on this issue will usher other countries to join in…many are already cooperating with them already including France and as you can guess a lot of eyes are on the USA.

Major UFO Saucer Sightings- Multiple Witnesses (Video And Photos)
Major UFO Saucer Sightings- Multiple Witnesses (Video And Photos)
(Before It's News)
(N.Morgan) There has been a massive influx of UFO sightings in the last several months. Each of these crafts in the sightings are becoming more bold, in their visits. Many wonder if these are our military aircraft or something other worldly. A major UFO sighting captured on daytime video by multiple witnesses, has been sent in to Secureteam for analysis. Large black saucer shaped UFOs are being captured in the skies over the eastern US. Here we have multiple videos from different angles of one of these large saucer shaped craft.
At some 4.6 billion years old, the Sun is about halfway through its life. In another 5 billion years it will be a normal “adult” star no more. Here’s the skinny on the upcoming demise of the star that you owe everything to: light, warmth, energy, and life.
1. Stars like the Sun will shine for 10 to 20 billion years. But the time that a star like this spends on the so-called “main sequence,” as a normal, “adult” star, lasts for some 5 billion years. In 1942 astronomers demonstrated that once a star transforms 12 percent of its hydrogen into helium, it begins a new kind of stellar age.

2. When a star begins to run out of nuclear fuel, the star turns off, almost like burning out. Because the heat is suddenly turned off, not to mention radiation pressure pushing outward, the star begins to contract.
3. Stars like the Sun face a curious path toward demise. In their old age gravity takes over as the fusion process shuts off. The material left in the star begins to push inward into a smaller and smaller space.
4. Amazingly, the Sun’s average density is pretty close to water. As the dying star falls inward, the Sun is destined to become a red-giant star, and its outer envelope inflates and is shed outward. The Sun’s diameter will push outward as its temperature plummets. During the red-giant phase, the Sun’s diameter will reach approximately where we are, at Earth’s orbital distance.
5. As the Sun swells to a maximum red-giant diameter, it may engulf Mercury, Venus, and Earth, or at least push what is left of these planets outward. At this point the Sun will span 150 times its present size.
6. The dying star isn’t completely dead yet, however. Gravity pushes shells of hydrogen and helium to densities where nuclear fusion can begin, and they are ignited, albeit for a short time. When this happens with the Sun, it will briefly be 2,100 times brighter than we see it now.
7. Some 7 or 8 billion years from now, the Sun will transform into a spectacular end state, creating a brief visual show in our part of the galaxy. It will first become a white-dwarf star, a degenerate remnant that is cool but incredibly dense.
8. The big show will come when the Sun transforms into a planetary nebula, a glowing series of shells of gas that expand outward at various speeds, putting on a fluorescent galactic performance that will last for 50,000 years.
9. As the dying star lumbers on, carbon plays a role as the most important byproduct of fusion. Carbon in the Sun’s atmosphere will settle inward and add to a carbon-rich core. But the core will not ignite in nuclear fusion. Instead, it starts a fit of helium burning, casting the star’s outer layers into interstellar space, forming “belches” of planetary nebula material.
10. The last helium flash, however, splatters dust and gas outward at higher velocities and shapes the planetary nebula by setting up collisions between the new “bullets” of high-speed material and the older, slower-moving shells.
11. Now the planetary nebula evolves its own personality. The white dwarf heats up, stripped of its layers, and ionizes the surrounding gas, heating it as ultraviolet photons rob electrons from neutral atoms. The gas glows like a fluorescent bulb.
12. Superwinds and fast winds roiling off the stripped star interact with the surrounding gases, sculpting the planetary nebula into one of a possible variety of shapes, from spheres to egg-shaped masses to bipolar, squashed ovals.
13. Interplay between the superwinds and fast winds from planetaries sets up some of the intricate architecture you can see in telescopes, with the appearance of a hollow shell carved out by the glowing boundary between the two winds. The shock front is what we see as the edges of the nebula; the hollowness inside is an illusion, as there’s plenty of material inside the nebula, but it does not glow with excited atoms.
14. Magnetic fields also help shape the planetary nebula, modeling the last screams from our Sun, a nebula that will slowly fade away, leaving a tiny white-dwarf remnant star where once was a mighty solar system complete with a great third planet, full of civilization and promise.

"It is reported that at 8:50pm a huge, flaming object, believed to be a meteorite, fell on a farm in the neighbourhood of Grovers Mill, New Jersey, twenty-two miles from Trenton."
Fortunately a reporter was within reach and described what was happening:
"Good heavens, something's wriggling out of the shadow like a grey snake. Now it's another one, and another. They look like tentacles to me. There, I can see the thing's body. It's large, large as a bear and it glistens like wet leather. But that face, it ... Ladies and gentlemen, it's indescribable. I can hardly force myself to keep looking at it. The eyes are black and gleam like a serpent. The mouth is V-shaped with saliva dripping from its rimless lips that seem to quiver and pulsate. The monster or whatever it is can hardly move. It seems weighed down by ... possibly gravity or something. The thing's raising up. The crowd falls back now. They've seen plenty. This is the most extraordinary experience. I can't find words ... I'll pull this microphone with me as I talk. I'll have to stop the description until I can take a new position. Hold on, will you please, I'll be right back in a minute.."
The USA Secretary of the Interior rushed to make an announcement:
"Citizens of the nation: I shall not try to conceal the gravity of the situation that confronts the country, nor the concern of your government in protecting the lives and property of its people. However, I wish to impress upon you -- private citizens and public officials, all of you -- the urgent need of calm and resourceful action. Fortunately, this formidable enemy is still confined to a comparatively small area, and we may place our faith in the military forces to keep them there. In the meantime placing our faith in God we must continue the performance of our duties each and every one of us, so that we may confront this destructive adversary with a nation united, courageous, and consecrated to the preservation of human supremacy on this earth. I thank you."
This all happened on Sunday, October 30, 1938 and, as you will no doubt know, was only a War Of The Worlds radio drama but it supposedly sent people into panic thinking it was for real.
Thousands of people, believing they were under attack by Martians, flooded newspaper offices and radio and police stations with calls, asking how to flee their city or how they should protect themselves from gas raids. Scores of adults reportedly required medical treatment for shock and hysteria.
Now there is a coincidence attached to all of this!
The War Of The Worlds author HG Wells stopped his car to ask directions in San Antonio, Texas and amazingly the man he asked turned out to be Orson Welles - the man who had petrified a sizeable chunk of the population with his radio broadcast of Wells's alien invasion story.

A New Jersey witness at Washington Township reported a bright orange, bell-shaped UFO, in her back yard that quickly moved into the sky and disappeared, according to testimony in Case 59379 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was outside at 8:30 p.m. on August 14, 2014, as a storm was approaching from the northwest when the object was first seen.
The object quickly moved into the northwest sky and disappeared. . Pictured: Washington Township. (Credit: Google)
“I walked out my back door and picked a tomato off a patio plant,” the witness stated. “I then walked to the fence on my right and tossed the tomato over it – for the birds. When I turned around, I saw a large orange/red glowing object that reminded me of a burning ember from a fire – very bright.”
The witness described the object’s movement.
“It came from over the top of the neighbor’s lower roof (which is probably 10 feet high), moving steadily toward the southeast through our backyard. It seemed to move right through trees/leaves – if it navigated around them, I didn’t notice that.”
The witness described the object.
“There was no sound, no smell, no anything. It appeared to be translucent with fire inside of it (or like churning gas), and at some point I saw a clear edge to it. I remember thinking I could see through it, if it weren’t for all that fire inside. When I say it looked like a jellyfish, it was the shape of a contracted, bell-shaped jellyfish.”
The object was low to the ground.
“It was approximately six feet off the ground moving through the backyard and I was only about 10 feet from it at one point. I estimate the size to be eight feet tall by five feet wide. It moved at a pace like a fast walk, but steady.”
The witness then called to her husband to come out and see the object.
“My husband only saw the bright orange glow, not the object itself, because there were trees blocking his view of it by the time he got there.”
The witness tried to keep the object in view.
“Knowing I would lose sight of it on that side, I ran to the other side of the backyard (where I had thrown the tomato over the fence). I was expecting to see it clear the front of the house, low to the ground like I just saw. I saw it in the sky over the houses across the street, climbing higher in the sky – it must have climbed pretty fast because it was only about six feet off the ground in the backyard. Now it was way above the trees on the other side of the street.”
The witnesses attempted to get a photograph of the object but were blocked by trees.
“By the time I ran out front (only a matter of seconds), it was now in the southwest sky and very high up, where planes fly. We continued to watch it climb higher and higher until it was a bright glowing orange dot and then it disappeared. When I saw it, I wasn’t scared – more amazed and curious than anything.”
The witness has ruled out Chinese lanterns.
The witness is certain – based on size – that the object was not a Chinese lantern. . Pictured: Washington Township. (Credit: Google)
“I looked at those memory lanterns people are sending up and while the shape was similar, the glowing intense color and size are all wrong. If it was a man-made article, like one of those lanterns, it would have gotten caught on something (trees, limbs, bushes, fences) as it passed through the yard. Our next door neighbor was driving toward home at that time and saw a bright orange glow coming from our backyards.”
Washington Township is a township in Gloucester County, New Jersey, population 48,559. New Jersey MUFON is investigating. New Jersey has a current UFO Alert Rating of 4 with a higher than average number of recent reports nationally. New Jersey had 24 UFO reports in July 2014 – the 11th highest reporting state – while California had 104 reports as the highest reporting state. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels – 1 through 5 – where states with 150 or more reports for the month are rated an Alert 1; states with 100 or more reports are rated an Alert 2; 25 reports or more for the month are rated an Alert 3; 13 or more reports are rated an Alert 4; and those states with less than 13 reports for the month are an Alert 5.
For Years Scientists, conspiracy theorists, ufologists all have theorized about how large rocks — some weighing hundreds of pounds — zigzag across Racetrack Playa in Death Valley National Park, leaving long trails etched in the earth.
Now two researchers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, have photographed these “sailing rocks” moving.
On Dec. 20, 2013, the cousins Richard Norris and James Norris cataloged 60 rocks moving across the playa’s pancake-flat surface.
The rocks move about 15 feet per minute, according to the report.
BRILLIANT THINKING!
After getting permits from the National Park Service, they installed a weather station in the area and placed 15 stones equipped with global positioning devices on the playa.
“Observed rock movement occurred on sunny, clear days, following nights of sub-freezing temperatures,” they wrote in a report published Wednesday in the online scientific journal PLOS ONE.
Cousins Richard Norris and James Norris said the movement is made possible when ice sheets that form after rare overnight rains melt in the rising sun, making the hard ground muddy and slick.
The “GPS stones,” which were engineered to record movement and velocity, were stationed at the southern end of the playa where rocks begin their strange journeys after tumbling down a cliff.
At the end of last year, Richard and James Norris returned to inspect the instruments.
“We found the playa covered with ice,” Richard told the Times. “We also noticed fresh rock trails near shards of thin ice stacked up along the shoreline.”
The following afternoon, “we were sitting on a mountainside and admiring the view when a light wind kicked up and the ice started cracking,” he said.“Suddenly, the whole process unfolded before our eyes.”
A man in Turkey believes he may have taken a photo of a UFO near Van Lake, home of the Van Lake Monster.
Gaziantep News reports they received an email from Ahmet Baygümüş with a UFO photo attached. Baygümüş says on August 24 at around 7 pm he was taking pictures of the landscape and the sunset with his phone. He did not see anything unusual. However, when he reviewed the pictures later he saw a strange light in the image.
Baygümüş says he returned to the location the next day at the same time, but did not see anything unusual.
Baygümüş sent the image to Gaziantep News hoping they could offer an explanation as to what he might have seen. Gaziantep News suggested it appears to be some sort of light beam, and listed Baygümüş’ contact information for people to share with him their thoughts.

Given that Baygümüş did not see the light when he took the picture, it is possible that the light is due to some sort of reflection or flare happening in the phone, and the orb of light was not actually there.
Gaziantep News also noted that Van Lake is home to another paranormal mystery, the Van Lake Monster. Rumors of a strange creature living in Van Lake are said to have begun in 1995. Some researchers say there was a story in the local newspapers in 1889 of a man who was reportedly carried away by a creature that came out of the lake. Supposedly, Turkish officials were sent to the area, but did not find the monster.
In 1997, a 26 year-old man by the name of Unal Kozak claimed to have captured several videos of the Van Lake Monster. A CNN story on the video said that images were sent to Cambridge University to be examined, and that even Jacques Cousteau was planning a trip to the lake to investigate. However, neither Cambridge University nor Jacques Cousteau have presented any analysis.
Kozak’s video is still under debate, and locals are split over the existence of the Van Lake Monster. Although, everyone has fun with the legend. The town of Van has a statue depicting the monster.

Did Kozak capture a genuine lake monster in his videos? Did Baygümüş capture an image with a light flare or something more mysterious? Do mysterious orbs of light have anything to do with lake monsters? So many mysteries, so few answers. Let us know what you think.
AMAZING UFO PHOTO AND DIASAPPEARING PEOPLE IN JAPAN JUNE 24, 2014 …………. MT. TOKACHIDAKE JAPAN
On June 24, 2014 at the camping site near Mt. Tokachidake (an active volcano in the northern part of Japan), which has been famous for UFO sightings for decades. You can see a bright object soaring up from the bottom right corner of the video screen, but in reality, my camera was facing the zenith, and the object was moving horizontally across the sky from the east to the south. I fixed my camera position and did not follow the object, so the zigzag motion of the object was not because of camera shake. I was the only one looking up the sky and other people (mountain climbers) were already sleeping in their tents. Since the site was at an altitude of 1200 meters and the temperature was very low at night, there were no insects flying, and the fireflies (lightning bugs) do not exist in the area (the fireflies do not fly at such a high speed in the first place and my camera cannot catch such dim lights). The flying insects usually look like black dots in the light and never reflect the light so brightly (only the moth would show blurry reflections). The site was completely dark and there were no outdoor lights nearby (and it was a dark moonless night). I could see many stars in the sky with the naked eyes, but my small digital camera (CASIO EX-H10) could not catch any starlight. So you can guess how bright that object actually was. These video clips are for the general citizens, so at first I did not go into details in my explanation for the media interview especially regarding somewhat mysterious incident occurred before the UFO appeared. About one and half hours before I saw UFO, I was surprised by a small mechanical sound that I heard from my left side (no more than two feet from where I was standing in the camping site), and I saw a long-haired young woman in white clothes.
As I mentioned,the site was almost completely dark and I could not even see my shoes very well, so I could narrowly recognized that woman but could not see her face. Then I saw a small and round red light in front of her chest or her solar plexus. I supposed she would be fixing her camera to a tripod to take pictures of beautiful starry sky (but I did not actually see any camera or tripod) . That slender lady was about 5 feet and 7 inches tall and had black hair. Although I wondered why she was working in the darkness without any lights, I stepped back silently because she did not seem to have noticed that I was standing so close to her and I did not want to surpise a young woman in the darkness. After that I kept standing for a while at some distance from her, but the next time I found that she was gone – disappeared without making any sounds of walking. In the camping site,I could hear footsteps very well even if they were more than 20 meters away.
I wondered where she had gone because I did not hear any sounds of car. It was too dangerous for anyone to leave the site on foot because there were wild bears often appear in that area. She was not looking up overhead but straight ahead to the east where the Tokachidake mountains rises – and it was the very direction where the UFO appeared about one and half hours later. Although there is no certain links between that mysterious lady and the UFO, I have to say that I had seen another mysterious young gentleman who suddenly disappeared before another UFO appeared in the sky when I was waiting for the chance to videotape UFO on the beach of Kamakura on February 25 in 2014. At that time, I saw a large disk-shaped green UFO that circled over my head and flew away. I was so surprised to see the UFO at a such close range that I momentarily forgot about taking its picture even though I had my camera at hand. Having had such similar two experiences, I came to believe that the mysterious lady and the gentleman may have something to do with the UFOs that appeared after these mysterious people disappeared. I have videotaped night scenes with my digital camera many times but I have never seen any digital noises. On the other hand, I have heard from my friends that they had witnessed a strange bright object flying with the zigzag motion in Hokkaido area which is one of the most famous UFO hot-spots in Japan. For the past several years, I have debunked many fake photos and videos as well as mistaken UFO reports, but it does not mean that I am a non-believer. I just wish to know the truth only. So I have conducted a camping in Hokkaido which is very far from Tokyo where I live. And fortunately I had opportunities to videotape the flying objects UFO with zigzag motion.

In March 2010, an extraordinary event took place in Lavonia, New Hampshire…a small town in the central part of the state, situated between Lake Winnipesaukee and Winnisquam Lake. The following NUFORC reports are from two witnesses who had the same encounter together. Some may feel that these witnesses were attempting to generate a hoax in order to cover up something else. I’ve been willing to give the witnesses consideration and the benefit of the doubt until evidence to the contrary comes forward:
My name is D. I am sixteen years old and I live in New Hampshire. Last Saturday night I went out with my girlfriend, who lives in Laconia, when we had the following experience: I was with her around 11. We wanted to take her Mom’s car because it was nicer and we wanted to go look at the stars. We went to Fun Spot at the back parking lot in Laconia. There were 8 cars already there when we arrived. Little by little, the cars started leaving one by one. We were the last car in the parking lot. Then the lights of the parking lot and the lights of the houses around us and the lights of the houses down the street started to go out one by one. Then my girlfriend noticed something blocking the moon and asked, “What was that?” I knew it wasn’t a cloud because it moved back against the wind and blocked the moon again. I don’t know how to explain this but it turns into a ball when it wants to slow down and move around quickly and when it wants to go fast, straight, it turns into a flat plate with maze box-shaped lined lights. These were on all the time. The colors were dim yellowish white and did not change. I cannot tell whether these were part of the bottom or not. It flipped a lot. I did not know which side was right or up on it. It was doing this over the trees across the street from the parking lot. It suddenly crossed the street towards our car. Its size was as big as 14 houses. It was really quiet. That’s when we had to leave. But I did not have time to turn on the headlights.
We put the clutch in to start the car and jammed it into 1st and floored it. The front end got picked up and the car could not move. We steered left and right but the car just kept on going up into the air. My girlfriend was scared and she had boogers coming out of her nose while I was cursing. The car was going up and the back wheels were off of the ground. Then I looked out of my window and saw that the parking lot park lines started getting smaller. Both our windows were down this whole time. The front windshield started to crack and shake and the cracks spread from the passenger side to the driver’s side. It popped outwards like it was pulled out.
Something yanked my wrist. Not aggressively. And the whole time in my head something was telling me “Don’t panic,” or “Don’t be scared.” And it wasn’t in English in my head but I got the meaning. It wasn’t a language – I don’t know how to explain it. And on my girlfriend’s side, it had her half-way out of the window. Her butt was off of her seat, maybe one-and-a-half or two feet? and the car was pointed almost completely straight up at the stars – yet I saw no stars.
Every time I tried looking at it, in front, a white film went over my eyes. It was kind of like staring at the sun with your eyelids closed. I could not hear her screaming but I know that she was screaming. My ears felt like they kept on popping from the altitude. I couldn’t hear. The smell was like unbearable, like you want to close your nose. It was spicy, like pepper-sprayish, and clean at the same time – it was a smell that you could stand but you would close your nostrils because it still smells bad. When I tried to fight and get my wrist back in the car, that’s when the grip got stronger. It was pulling my left arm up out of the window – there was no pain but it was strong – …. I was trying to fight off the grip on my wrist. My tongue was numb. The horn beeped by accident and the grip got a little loose. It beeped again in the struggle and my arm flopped down in the car. My girlfriend also fell back in her seat and we realized we were still up in the air. ! It took 2 seconds for the car to drop. When we dropped, the air bags came out. We floored it as fast as we could through the town. It was almost a straightaway to go to my girlfriend’s house with very few turns to take. During this time, both of us couldn’t stop crying. We arrived at her house and her Mom asked, “What happened?” All this took place from 11pm to 12:30 am. It seemed like we were in the air for 10 minutes and it felt like it was forever. Her Mom called the police, and a policeman came.
The policeman did not believe us when we first told him what had happened until he looked at the vehicle. There were no scratches or dents or anything. He said that there was no reason for this to have happened to the car when there are no dents or scratches and no reason for the windshield to shatter and pop out the way it did. He had no explanation for why the windshield popped outwards. Also, when I went to open my cell phone in front of the policemen, I got shocked by it.
On Monday, I went to my doctor to get a whole physical to make sure I was OK. My wrist had a puncture wound while my forearm has a cut that is semi-circular and there’s blood on it. I do remember that when I first looked at my arm after I got it back in the car, it was red with blood. But by the time we got to my girlfriend’s house, there was no blood anywhere. On the center consul of the car, there is an imprint of her hand. I don’t quite understand what the policeman said but it was something about the skin of her hand leaving an impression.
Now, I don’t like to feel bumps in the car, or feel anything that trembles like a boombox. I don’t want to be out in dark areas at night. I also don’t like to walk out to my Mom’s car, anymore, outside. “
“My name is E and I’m eighteen years old. I live in Laconia. Last Saturday night, my boyfriend D came up to see me and we went out. When we got to Fun Spot, in Laconia, we parked in the back in the separate parking lot. We turned off the car and it was totally silent. We were just sitting there and I looked up at the moon. I saw this weird black-shaped object. And then, I said to my boyfriend, “What was that?” He looked up at it and he said, ”If it gets any closer, we need to leave.” I kept staring at the moon to see if it was just a plane or something. It moved back across the moon. It was huge and it looked like it was zig-zagging or changing shape. I couldn’t tell. He said, “I think it’s coming closer.” It flew so fast over the trees getting closer to where we were. It felt like it was zeroing in on us. It blocked the moon. And then, we started panicking and driving away. I thought were were going to hit the Bingo building. We turned left but it felt like we went off of a jump – you know that feeling? like we were on a rollercoaster? And we were in the air. I was trying to pay attention to everything that was going on but it felt like I couldn’t. When I looked up, everything was black. The smell was not nice but it was like something you could stand. It was an odor I’ve never smelled before. I heard absolutely nothing – it was silent. I felt immobilized like I had no control over what I was doing or over my body. I could see nothing. It was like opening your eyes in a pitch black room.
I felt really nervous and scared. I don’t remember crying or screaming. I held on to the center console because I felt like I was lifted. I was holding on so tight that my thumbprint is imprinted on the center console. And then, when I finally realized what was happening, I was so close to the windshield that my body was going forward with my arms behind me. Everything was black. I heard a loud noise like a horn. Once. And then, the car just dropped. I hit my eye on the dashboard and the airbags came out. I couldn’t believe what had just happened. I held my face and I looked over at my boyfriend. I saw that his left arm had blood. I said, “Are you OK?” I looked at the windshield and it was cracked, totally, but only on the passenger side. I could see D but I couldn’t see anything outside. The only thing that made the car drop was the sound of the loud horn. When the car dropped, there was a loud boom. After that, we just drove so fast out of there. The smell went away after we drove away. And I started crying. And I said, “What the h—l just happened?” My boyfriend said, “I don’t know, I don’t know.” I didn’t feel like they were following us.
When we got home, my Mom said that she could hear me from the outside while I was freaking out. I couldn’t stop crying. My Mom said, “Calm down and tell me what happened.” I said, “You’re never going to believe me.” “Is it my car?” she asked.
And I said, “Let me explain,” because I felt that if I didn’t explain it fast enough, it was just going to go away from my mind. At about 12:15 am, a cop arrived. I told him what had happened while I was sitting down at the dinner table. My boyfriend was sitting next to me – it was then that I noticed that there was no more blood on his arm or his clothing. The cop didn’t believe me at first until he finished looking at the car. He told my Mom that there was no reason for the air bags to come out because nothing else on the car was damaged. He didn’t check underneath the car but we found out later that the underside was totaled. The cop said that he was going to the place where we had been.
I just felt thankful that we’d gotten out of there. But I couldn’t stop crying for more than 2 hours afterwards. My Mom said, “You should go take a shower and get the airbag dust off of you.” But I didn’t want to be alone at all. I felt lucky. And there were no scratches or anything anywhere on my body.
The first night, my dream was that I was a little girl, maybe 6 or 7 years old, in an Elementary School classroom. I was looking at myself as a little girl. And then it was like the teacher called me up and I couldn’t talk or say anything – but everybody else seemed to say something for me. Like everything I wanted to say, everybody else was saying it except for me. They were saying exactly what I wanted say. I have never had a dream like this before – where I am a little girl and see anything about the past. I did not feel right at all.
I am better now. I still worry about seeing this thing again and I pay attention to the sky at night. I really don’t go out at night, anymore, because I’m scared. “
UPDATE: someone on the ATS forum contacted the Laconia, NH police and received the following response:
Officer Batstone responded 03-21-10 at 0017 hrs., to take the report from the 18 and 16 year old and look at the vehicle that was damaged. The incident they reported occurred at the Opechee Park, which is no where near Fun Spot as they report to you.
According to the ATS post, Opechee Park is 0.8 miles away from the Fun Spot. Not a great distance, but obviously the “incident” reported was different than the incident submitted to NUFORC.
Honestly, I think these kids were hesitant to tell the police that they parked in the Fun Spot for some reason, so the police report states Opechee Park. BTW, the Fun Spot is a huge place and (from what I gathered online) the parking area is immense.
However the time of 0017 hours (1:17am) on March 21st does correspond correctly in both reports.
This proves there was indeed an incident, that a vehicle was damaged and that an officer was called to the scene.
NOTE: Lavonia is approx. 40 mile south of Indian Head, NH…the location where Betty & Barney Hill claim they were abducted. Lon

Police backs up UFO sighting Lower Paxton Township, Pennsylvania on 25th August 2014
Police backs up UFO sighting Lower Paxton Township, Pennsylvania on 25th August 2014
Police backed up a UFO sighting caught on VIDEO. It is a well documented case and does merit serious open minds.After responding to a call regarding unusual lights in the sky, police in Lower Paxton Township, Pennsylvania say they also witnessed a UFO.
ABC 27 in Harrisburg reported on a UFO sighting in Lower Paxton Township Monday night. Resident Stephanie Wilkerson says she was enjoying a glass of wine when she spotted a strange light.
She told ABC 27, “I thought it was a plane until I realized it wasn’t moving. I watched it for about 20 minutes and I started noticing it changing colors.”
She called to her husband to come outside and also called a nneighbour She says her neighbour was amazed and got a pair of binoculars to get a closer look. At first the neighbour thought it was a planet, but he says it changed colors, turning yellow, which made him rule that out.
Ontdekking van 15 onbekende monumenten onder Stonehenge verandert alles
Ontdekking van 15 onbekende monumenten onder Stonehenge verandert alles
Stonehenge blijft een mysterieuze plek vol verrassingen. Archeologen hebben onder Stonehenge 15 monumenten uit de nieuwe steentijd opgegraven. Het antwoord op de vraag waarom het gebouwd is, ligt dus misschien onder de grond.
Het team van archeoloog Vince Gaffney van de Universiteit van Birmingham heeft voor het eerst de ondergrond van de regio rond Stonehenge in kaart gebracht. De universiteit is samen met het Ludwig Boltzmann Instituut in Oostenrijk betrokken bij het zogeheten Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project.
De wetenschappers hebben onder meer een ‘cursus’ ontdekt, een walstructuur die zich uitstrekt over een gebied van drie kilometer. Deze constructie is honderden jaren ouder dan Stonehenge zelf en werd vermoedelijk gebruikt voor rituelen.
De archeologen troffen onder het aardoppervlak ook grafheuvels, greppels en dolmen aan. De ontdekkingen kunnen waardevolle informatie geven over de prehistorische vindplaats. Voor de opgravingen zijn bodemradars, magnetische sensors en 3D-lasers gebruikt.
Wetenschappers weten tot op de dag van vandaag niet wat de functie van het mysterieuze bouwwerk is. “Stonehenge is één van de belangrijkste en waarschijnlijk ook de meest bestudeerde monumenten ter wereld,” vertelde professor Gaffney aan Smithsonian Magazine. “Het gebied is door deze ontdekkingen helemaal veranderd.”
Town council repeals decades-old law that banned 'magic arts'
FRONT ROYAL, Va. (WJLA) -- A Northern Virginia community is divided tonight over a debate that sounds like something out of history books.
In Front Royal a decades-old law bans things considered "magic arts."
At a town council meeting Monday night, the passions were front and center.
Someone called this a faith war—pagans versus Christians.
Many in Front Royal say they'd pretty much forgotten about the law that bans fortune telling, Tarot card readings, or practicing magic arts.
When a Tarot card reader set up shop at the Brooklyn Marketplace on Main Street—for just one day—the manager says some people in the town threatened to boycott the other vendors if the Tarot card reader stayed.
"This is an extreme group of people who,have taken on an ordinance to push their own political agenda," says Arlene Ballou.
After looking the law over, the town council scheduled a vote to repeal the ban.
And opponents sprang into action.
Outside the town council meeting, one group of citizens marched carrying a cross while others bowed their heads in prayer.
“For the Judeo-Christian tradition, it's an abomination; it's giving someone the power that God has. Only God knows the future," says Leo Morton.
Inside, it was a packed house and things got heated.
At the last minute one councilmember tried to amend the law to take out offensive terms like "gypsy" but he was quickly voted down.
In the end, the council voted to repeal the ban, 4-2. - WJLA
Several witnesses, including multiple police officers, saw a strange object over Lower Paxton Township.
The anomalous object was first spotted by Stephanie Wilkerson who had been sitting on her porch on Monday night when something in the sky caught her attention.
Initially believing it to be an airplane, Wilkerson became intrigued when she noticed it start to change color and called her husband outside to see what he thought. A neighbor went inside to fetch some binoculars in an effort to identify the object but remained unable to determine what it could be.
Eventually the police were called in to investigate and an officer turned up at the scene. Having no idea what the object was either he called his superiors for a second opinion but even they were unable to shed any light on the phenomenon.
One officer contacted Fort Indiantown Gap and Harrisburg International Airport to find out if they knew anything about it but was told that there had been no scheduled flights at the time.
A team of researchers has finally managed to explain how such large boulders can move all by themselves.
The phenomenon, which was discovered in the 1940s, pertains to the inexplicable movement of extremely heavy boulders across a dry lake bed situated in Death Valley National Park.
Nobody has ever seen the boulders move directly but long trails left behind them in the sand seem to suggest that they have somehow traversed significant distances all by themselves. Some of the rocks that have shifted even weigh upwards of 320kg.
In an effort to solve the mystery once and for all a team of scientists from Scripps Institution of Oceanography visited the site in 2011 and set up a high-resolution weather station and 15 rocks fitted with GPS devices to measure even the slightest movements with impeccable accuracy.
It would take a further two years for anything to happen, but eventually during a visit to the site in December 2013 the team discovered that the area had been submerged in 3 inches of water.
As it turned out the movement of the rocks occurs under a very specific set of circumstances that requires there to be just enough water to cover the ground but not enough to submerge the rocks. The actual movement occurs due to a combination of strong winds, the freezing of the water during the night and the thawing of the ice by the hot sun during the day.
"It's possible that tourists have actually seen this happening without realising it," said co-author Jim Norris. "It is really tough to gauge that a rock is in motion if all the rocks around it are also moving." Read more at Scripps
The Monsters have been uncaged! The whole furry, scaly, red-eyed, bat-winged, fanged, dripping-clawed, oversized pack of slavering unknown creatures that I spent two years cramming into a 376-page paperback are now free to romp and roam where ever anyone may care to read about them. And in this book, it’s not just all about upright, wolf-like creatures. I wanted to create a work that shows something of the breadth and depth of the unknown kingdom that eyewitnesses continue to glimpse day and night in sky, land and water. I think it’s amazing that people see giant primates, huge flying things thought to have died out with the dinosaurs, and weird beasties like the Chupacabras that looks like nothing ever seen before, and yet we know next to nothing about most of them.
Not that this is anything really new. People like Ivan Sanderson, John Keel and many other investigators were slogging through marshes and tromping far off lands long before I began to collect the experiences of otherwise ordinary people. Nor is my occupation all that unique; I have plenty of contemporary colleagues, friends and investigators from all sorts of backgrounds and abilities–too many to name here but see the acknowledgments page in Monsters for mere starters–to whom I and the whole field of cryptozoology owe an enormous debt for their own research and studies.
I hope this book, if nothing else, will help make the case that although modern science insists these creatures are not here, they sure look like they are to those who see them. And that there is something more to these anomalous events than mass hallucination, the occasional hoaxer, or misidentifications of known animals. - Linda Godfrey's Blog
Natuurkundigen gaan onderzoeken of we in een 2D-hologram leven
Natuurkundigen gaan onderzoeken of we in een 2D-hologram leven
Amerikaanse wetenschappers willen aan de hand van een aantal experimenten onderzoeken of we in een hologram leven. Het klinkt misschien bizar, maar tegenstrijdigheden tussen de relativiteitstheorie van Albert Einstein en sommige ontdekkingen van Max Planck over materie kunnen alleen worden verklaard als we in een Matrix-achtig hologram leven. Dat zegt Craig Hogan, directeur van het onderzoekscentrum Fermilab in de buurt van Chicago.
“Duizenden jaren lang hebben we aangenomen dat de ruimte bestaat uit punten en lijnen,” zei hij. “Misschien is dat onjuist en bestaat de ruimte net als materie en energie uit golven. We willen erachter komen of ruimtetijd net als materie een kwantumsysteem is.”
Net zoals gasten tijdens een televisieprogramma geen idee hebben dat hun ogenschijnlijke 3D-wereld enkel bestaat op een 2D-scherm, is het goed mogelijk dat wij er geen weet van hebben dat onze 3D-ruimte slechts een hologram is. De informatie over alles in ons universum kan worden gecodeerd als kleine pakketjes met twee dimensies.
Als je vlak voor het tv-scherm gaat zitten zie je allerlei pixels. Van veraf vormen alle kleine puntjes een naadloos beeld. Wetenschappers denken dat het universum op een soortgelijke manier werkt en dat de natuurlijke ‘pixelgrootte’ van de ruimte ruwweg 10 biljoen biljoen keer kleiner is dan een atoom, een afstand die door natuurkundigen ook wel de Plancklengte wordt genoemd.
Holometer
De experimenten worden uitgevoerd met de Holometer, het meest gevoelige apparaat dat ooit is gemaakt. De Holometer maakt gebruik van een tweetal interferometers, apparaten die elk een laserlicht naar een stralingsdeler en door twee loodrechte armen zenden. Het licht wordt daarna teruggereflecteerd naar de stralingsdeler, waar de twee lasers weer samenkomen. De eventuele schommelingen in helderheid die door dat proces worden veroorzaakt, zullen door de onderzoekers worden geanalyseerd.
Verwacht wordt dat binnen alle frequenties zulke storingen zullen voorkomen. “Als we een storing vinden die we niet kunnen wegfilteren, ontdekken we misschien iets fundamenteels over de natuur – een ruis die intrinsiek is aan de ruimtetijd,” aldus natuurkundige Aaron Chou van het Fermilab. “Een positief resultaat zal een hele wereld van nieuwe vragen over de ruimte openen.”
“Als we iets ontdekken, kan dat onze ideeën die we duizenden jaren hadden over de ruimte compleet veranderen,” besloot Hogan.
A Texas witness at Fairfield reported watching a “very bright, white light” UFO at close range, according to testimony in Case 59342 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The Fairfield, Texas, witness pulled to the side of the road to watch the bright object about 8:47 p.m. on August 24, 2014. Pictured: Fairfield, TX, near county route’s 2570 and 833. (Credit: Google Maps)
The witness was “patrolling on County Road 2570” on her way to County Road 833 at 8:47 p.m. on August 24, 2014, when the object was first seen and thought to be part of a tower. She pulled her vehicle over to the side of the road.
“This huge, very bright object, went up and traveled slowly to my right,” the witness stated. “I then heard this jet-like noise that ended as quickly as it started. I put the truck in gear and went down to County Road 833 and turned around. By this time it was coming back to the spot I had first noticed it.”
The witness again parked her vehicle and while watching the object noticed lights on top of it.
“They went from one side to the other and had a rhythm in its own pace.”
The witness noticed lights on the top of the object that moved in a pattern. Pictured: Fairfield, TX, near county route’s 2570 and 833. (Credit: Google Maps)
The object then moved south and out of sight.
“It scared me to putting that truck in gear and hauling it straight back to my job site. I told a co-worker and I just kept going on and on about it. Took me about three hours to settle down and I particularly did not want to get back in the truck and go anywhere – period.”
The next day at work, the witness reviewed the area where the object was hovering.
“So the next day, going back to work, I saw that the place the UFO was hovering over is power lines from the power plant.”

Fairfield is a city in Freestone County, Texas, population 2,951. Texas MUFON is investigating. Texas has a current UFO Alert Rating of 3 with a high number of recent reports nationally. Texas had 80 UFO reports in July 2014 – the 2nd highest reporting state – while California had 104 reports as the highest reporting state. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels – 1 through 5 – where states with 150 or more reports for the month are rated an Alert 1; states with 100 or more reports are rated an Alert 2; 25 reports or more for the month are rated an Alert 3; 13 or more reports are rated an Alert 4; and those states with less than 13 reports for the month are an Alert 5.
Several people reported seeing flashes of light after the earthquake that shook Napa Valley on Sunday. Similar lights have been seen after other earthquakes all around the world. A scientist with the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute in Mountain View, California says the lights, which are often mistaken for UFOs, are what he calls “earthquake lights.”
KPIX 5 (CBS San Francisco) says they began receiving reports of the strange lights right after the earthquake on Sunday. Other witnesses reported their sightings on twitter.
Twitter user Keedo wrote, ” Everybody felt the earthquake but I’m the only one who saw the blue flashes in the sky??”
Everybody felt the earthquake but I’m the only one who saw the blue flashes in the sky??
Anne Belden tweeted, ” Saw flashes of light that looked like lightning right after earthquake, then huge green flash north of Sebastopol. #earthquake”

Scientist Friedemann Freund with the SETI Institute says these sorts of reports are often made after earthquakes all around the world. KPIX 5 included pictures and videos of the lights from Japan and Peru (seen above).
Freund says the lights are often believed to be UFOs or exploding transformers. However, he believes the lights are EQLs, short for “earthquake lights.”
Freund told KPIX 5, “What they are, are a consequence of the stresses building up deep below the earth, seven miles like in the case of the Napa Valley earthquake.”
Freund has been researching the EQL phenomenon for 12 years. He and his team have looked at over 65 cases spanning over 400 years.
Even though Freund offers a conventional explanation for the lights being seen after earthquakes all over the world, most seismologist don’t believe earthquake lights exits. However, Freund is far from being alone in his beliefs.
Earlier this year, the Washington Post reported on an experiment conducted by Rutgers University. They created a miniature model of earthquake-like conditions, and found “huge voltage jumps that result from the shifting of granular material used to mimic the earth.”
Their findings lend credence to Freund’s theory. However, he admits there is a lot of work still to be done. He told the Washington Post, “The observation is really well done, the experiments are well conducted, but the full understanding is not yet available.”
As for those who doubt the existence of earthquake lights, Freund says, “There are things that we still don’t understand about the earth, so why not accept unusual, exceptionally unusual phenomena taking place? And the light outburst from the ground is one of them.”
At least 20 witnesses watched several UFOs from the beach on Skyros Island in Greece. One witness caught a few of the objects on video before they sped off at “breakneck speed” into the distance.
Jewish Business News reported on the UFO video posted by YouTube user DisclosureNow – Greece (seen above). The video was reportedly taken soon after 1 am last Tuesday morning, August 12.
Skyros Island Beach (Credit: Perigiali Hotel)
According to Jewish Business News, ” The UFOs were seen coming from the eastern part of the island, and they disappeared over the horizon in the sea.”
The description in the video, translated by Google Translate, says that 5 objects were seen flying parallel “in front of the stunned eyes of at least 20 person” who were at a beach bar. They watched the objects for about a minute when suddenly they “arrived at a point in the sky and disappeared at breakneck speed in the distance.”
According to the video, “The astonished patrons not believe their eyes as the objects were within walking distance from the beach – about 500 meters!”

The witness who posted the video says they checked with the Port of Skyros the next day, and were told that they knew of the sighting. Apparently, port authorities rushed to the area, but had not seen anything. They were alerted by other witnesses.
The video description also says that the witness attempted to capture all of the objects on video using their cell phone, but only three could be seen. The third can only barely be seen flashing.
The video does not show much, but if the witness is to be believed, the lights shooting off into the distance must have been quite astonishing.
Interesting object caught by Helioviewer, (AIA 304 - Time: 2014/08/26) which appears to show a huge object firing or possibly drawing energy from the Suns corona.
Is it a UFO? Or something else.
One day later, (Time: 2014/08/27) another unknown object caught by SOHO, Lasco C2.
Furthermore, Lasco C2 and Lasco C3 show several unknown large white cigar-shaped objects and one angelic shaped object.

videoHeefteen UFO vorige week een bezoek gebracht aan de Amerikaanse staat Texas? De 'believers' zijn alvast in hun nopjes nadat verschillende inwoners van Houston foto's van een vreemde vliegende schotel hebben gepost op sociaalmediasites.
De vrij heldere beelden tonen een ovaal object met heel wat lichtpunten onderaan. Een filmpje op Instagram laat dan weer zie hoe de 'UFO' zich voortbeweegt door de lucht.
De waarnemingen hebben een lokaal tv-station aangezet om er een reportage aan te wijden. "Het is makkelijk om te zeggen dat het aliens waren", verklaarde astronoom Carolyn Sumners aan KPRC. "De truc met UFO's is om na te gaan of er een andere verklaring mogelijk is voor het vliegende object. Hoe meer mensen het hebben waargenomen vanuit alle mogelijke invalshoeken, hoe groter de kans dat we het gaan kunnen identificeren en duiden. Maar er zullen altijd dingen gebeuren waarvoor er geen verklaring is maar dat maakt het net interessant."

WATCH: Multiple UFO’s Filmed Over Sao Paulo, Brazil, Aug 8
WATCH: Multiple UFO’s Filmed Over Sao Paulo, Brazil, Aug 8
From the distance they look just like lights in the sky floating around. As this article points out, it’s not about the sizzle in the clip. It’s about the actual possibility of extraterrestrial life!
Witness said: My husband and I were standing on our front porch,when I noticed the ball of light. I have seen them many times but normally at night and not having a camera in hand but this time I finally did so I magnified my camera on my Moto x Motorola cell phone by 4.0x to catch it on film. We both were trying to get it on film at the same time but I was able to. This is the first time I have seen them during the day our neighbor has also seen these several times. I always watch the sky here at my house I have a thing for the stars and clouds etc.. So my normal is to look up and see what is above and I seen it just above the clouds facing across the street . It had no FAA lights on and as it passed it was no plane, or anything I can describe as a object that I would be use to seeing living not far from an air port / base .. It wobbled and the light on it changed colors it had a trace tail but nothing I wouldn’t explain away with camera flaring. I watched it for over 2mins as I video-ed it and it finally descended at an angle disappearing behind the trees. We first seen it at 8:26pm est and it disappeared at 8:28pm est.
Flashing UFO sighting over Oregon on 26th August 2014
Flashing UFO sighting over Oregon on 26th August 2014
New amazing video footage of a flashing UFO light recorded over Oregon on 26th August2014.
Witness said: The flashes were observed over two nights in the oregon skies. They remain in a general location and sometimes flash brighter or dimmer between 8-10 seconds apart. The object flashes/pulses for over an half-hour and shortly after is no longer visible. This is a strange one indeed and one of my friends just reported seeing the same event. He lives about 7 miles away.
Believers van buitenaards leven kicken massaal op dit beeld dat werd geschoten door de marsverkenner Curiosity. Voor hen staat het vast: dit zijn de fossiele resten van het dijbeen van een marsmannetje. Tot het tegendeel is bewezen gaan we er evenwel best van uit dat het gewoon een steen is.
Het beeld werd onlangs gespot op UFO-blogger.com en al snel deden de wildste speculaties de ronde. "Het is erg waarschijnlijk dat er ooit leven is geweest op de planeet Mars", weet een blogger. "Het is dus bijgevolg niet uitgesloten dat er fossielen van die uitgestorven wezens worden gevonden".
Water Het onbemande voertuig Curiosity landde twee jaar geleden op Mars. Het kan bodemmonsters analyseren op sporen van leven. Op 27 september 2012 stuurde de Curiosity foto's naar de Aarde waaruit bleek dat er ooit op Mars water moet hebben gestroomd. Kiezelstenen waren dermate geërodeerd dat zij lang in stromend water hadden gelegen. In maart van vorig jaar maakte het Amerikaanse ruimtevaartagentschap NASA bekend dat onderzoek van een rotsmonster had aangetoond dat in vroeger tijden leven op Mars mogelijk is geweest.
Eerder deze week deelde de Amerikaanse astronaut Reid Wiseman deze foto op Twitter. Vanuit het internationale ruimtestation ISS fotografeerde hij de Golf Thailand. Op de afbeelding is Bangkok, de hoofdstad van Thailand, duidelijk te zien. Naar de oorsprong van de groene lichten op het water was het gissen. Toch vanuit de ruimte...
Eens aan land wordt snel duidelijk dat het om tientallen vissersboten gaat. Die beschikken over honderden heldere groene ledlampen om plankton aan te trekken. Het ultieme doel is het vangen van inktvissen. Zij volgen het plankton dat door het licht wordt aangetrokken en zijn zo een makkelijke prooi.
De Europese Ruimtevaartorganisatie ESA heeft bijzondere beelden vrijgegeven van het noorderlicht. De Duitse kosmonaut Alexander Gerst legde de natuurpracht vast op video en goot de shots in een verbluffende timelapse. Gerst en zijn collega's zagen het schouwspel vanuit het ISS. Een week eerder had een massale uitbarsting van zonnewind plaatsgevonden, die veroorzaakte het spectaculaire lichtverschijnsel afgelopen weekend.
John Greenewald, Jr. of The Black Vault was successful in getting a Mandatory Declassification Review (MDR) of the Yeates affidavit; a Top Secret explanation on why the NSA was withholding the release of the hundreds of UFO documents. It was created during the Citizens Against UFO Secrecy (CAUS) v NSA court case which took place in 1980 and has largely remained blacked out since it was redacted and released to the general public.
This record convinced the judge of the case, that the NSA, along with the COMunication INTelligence (COMINT) reports which were not released under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), should remain hidden and not released to the public. They were many years later, however, they were nearly entirely blacked out — with only a few words legible on many of the pages. Despite the records entering the public domain, the fact that many were heavily redacted, proved to many that the NSA was actively engaged in a UFO cover-up.
The MDR was filed by Greenewald back in July of 2013, and took over a year to process. MDR’s can be requested under the FOIA, and by law, the agency will “declassify information that no longer meets the standards for classification.”However, the allegation of a cover-up deepened with the fact that under the the same MDR filed by Greenewald, the NSA was also requested to review the hundreds of blacked out UFO COMINT reports that have eluded the public’s eye with being primarily classified and blacked out.
However, this portion of the request was denied. Ironically, the NSA claimed they could not find a single one, unredacted, to do a review.
In essence, the ‘originals’ were destroyed or lost when they blacked out the records many years ago — and now in 2014 — they are missing and can not be further reviewed for declassification and release. The history, whatever it may be, is lost forever.

UFOs Reported Over Nuclear Weapons Test Site, Semipalatinsk-21 (Former Soviet Union) | VIDEO
By Timofey Yuriev
YouTube 5-31-14
We've tried to talk to the x-scientists and army personnel of our Nuclear Range... They confirmed that: "yes there was UFO activity in the area, and yes, there are documents exists... But each one ofthem, would refuse to tell us any details.
When I was 5 years old, during one nice hot summer day I was playing outside with our anti-tank cannon... Suddenly, a sparkling sphere in a diameter of 5 to 7 meters appeared. It was flying just above our 4 storey apartment building. It was changing colors from red to green to blue. It resembled a steel ball. It was moving silently. It didn't reflect anything... In complete calmness, slowly it flew over the roofs of our army base, slowly went away to the horizon, until it disappeared. My mother explained to me, that because of the nuclear tests happening about one time per month in our place, and as well as tests at the Space Station nearby, there are a lot of anomalies happen in our area, such as free flowing plasma, free floating lighting balls, and other unknown environmental phenomena. . . .
(N.Morgan) In this amazing catch by Sheeple TV, you get a clear visual of a UFO being bombarded and swarmed by helicopters in San Fernando, California. The helicopters look like Black hawks or some military type aircraft. Is this a simulated exercise between the UFO and military aircraft or something else? Did our military panic and send the helicopters out to shoot down the UFO?

I was sleeping in my room when my dog started growling and barking! My window was open and I heard what sounded like a person outside my house walking in the gravel. I very quietly got out of bed and snuck into a area in my house to where I noticed something pass in front of a outside light casting a child size shadow. I then tried to sneak to the window and peer out and I couldn't see anything! I then went into the garage open the garage door thinking that there was someone outside my house trying to steal or do something that they shouldn't be doing around 330am. As I was standing in the door way after the garage door opened something peaked out from behind a tree looking at me. I was then frozen with absolute fear and panic! I am writing you to try to find out if I am having multiple encounters, because I always feel watched at night and am terrified to be at home after dark.I have vivid nightmares about abduction and often awaken from a dream because I feel I am falling I try not to sleep at night and only sleep during the day! I want answers because I am a 28yo male that is 6'5 and I am TERRIFIED of whatever I saw and is going on! I have only told 2 people about what's been going on with me and a total of 4 about what I saw that night. I don't want to be labeled crazy and I really don't want any kind of exposure, I just want help! - MUFON CMS
Teenager Meghan LaPlante discovered the crustacean while checking lobster traps at the weekend.
The bright blue lobster, which scientists say is a 1 in 2 million specimen, demonstrates a vivid shade of blue due to a genetic defect that leads to the excessive production of a certain protein.
14-year-old Meghan, who helps her parents out during the summer at Miss Meghan’s Lobster Catch in Old Orchard Beach, is no stranger to finding unusual catches in her traps but admits that she has never seen anything like this one before.
The blue lobster has since gained the attention of marine experts across the United States and will be donated to the Maine State Aquarium for further study.
Despite its rarity however there have been some even more unusual shades of lobster hauled up from the depths of the ocean over the years. The odds of finding a bright red lobster for instance are 1 in 10 million whereas a yellow one is even rarer at 1 in 30 million.
Rarest of all however is an albino lobster with no coloring at all with odds of 1 in 100 million. - Boston Globe
Scientists: Mysterious Kennewick Man looked Polynesian and came from far away
The mysterious Kennewick Man, who died 9,000 years ago in the Columbia River Valley, was a seal hunter who rambled far and wide with a projectile point lodged in his hip, five broken ribs that never healed properly, two small dents in his skull and a bum shoulder from the repetitive stress of throwing spears.
He came from somewhere far away, far up the Pacific Northwest coast, possibly Alaska or the Aleutian Islands. He might even have come to North America all the way from Asia.
Scientists have told their story of Kennewick Man before in lectures and interviews, but the new book represents the most detailed account of research that came about only after scientists sued for access to the bones. The Army of Corps of Engineers, which has custody of the bones, had pressed the scientists to publish their research. Now it has finally arrived, in a volume as thick and heavy as a textbook.

Joseph Stillwell (involved in a previous encounter) was awakened by an odd noise, a low toned “pop”, and immediately opened his eyes. He was lying on his back and although his face was exposed, the bedding was pulled upward and piled at his chin, in a pyramidal shape, so high that he could only see the ceiling directly above. The pointed apex of this form was an arms-length high and the sides descended, arrow straight, to either side of his shoulders. Looking up, left or right, the edge of this structure was even with his chin and perfectly aligned, vertical and flat, as if cut with a knife.
Nothing was supporting this structure and it was only touching his shoulders. The void between his torso and the peak of the bedding was several feet high yet the sides of the structure, though descending at significant angles to either shoulder, remained straight and vertical as if solid. He stared with wonderment at the sky blue light that was pulsing across the ceiling. It was lit in a dim, pulsating, blue glow, across the width of the room and down the walls, the source of which was toward the foot of the bed, obscured from his view by the bizarre mound of blankets. He brought both arms up from his sides and grasped the pile and pulled it down as he raised his head. There was no resistance. The ceiling at the end of the room was brightly lit, brilliant blue and moving. It looked like the agitated surface of a swimming pool, with randomly forming intertwining light patterns against a bright blue background. It was three-dimensional, projecting off of the plane where the ceiling should be. It also had depth, with the “water-like” medium visible well above where the ceiling, attic, and roof should have been. It appeared that the affected portion of the ceiling and house was gone. This moving portion of the ceiling spanned the width of the room, with crisp termination at the three walls it was touching. It projected about eighteen inches out from the far wall and the border that was an open ceiling was different. It was fuzzy, or blurred and quite different from the other edges. It made no sound even though that section of ceiling was moving rapidly. He was mesmerized by this display as he lifted his head.
There was someone standing at the foot of his bed, directly at his feet. The blue band on the ceiling waned and the thing at the foot of the bed started glowing blue. Its head shone, beautiful blue, flickered twice and went dark. It was big and it was not human. It was at least six feet tall, with a head twice the size of a man and enormous black eyes. It was wearing a dark cape that was cinched at the chin with a short collar that had a small “V” opening at the front and ran up to the jaw line on either side. It was looking slightly to its right as the witness raised his head and either seeing him move or sensing movement it turned its head and looked straight at him. That was the only time he saw it move. Its head was much wider than where its’ shoulders should be. The portion of the cape just below the collar could not have been more than eight inches in breadth. The cape covered its entire body and splayed outward as it hung below the foot of his bed, out of his field of view. It had numerous vertical folds and appeared to be flexible, as cloth. He did not see it move.
At some point the blue band on the ceiling reappeared and though he never took his eyes off of this creature he did not see it happen. It was just there much larger than before, covering about 40% of the ceiling from the far wall to the foot of his bed. From the edge on open ceiling hung a vertical, transparent, “curtain” of moving light. It appeared as a giant pane of glass spanning the breadth of the room, wall to wall and from ceiling to floor. Contorting rays of blue and white light rippled across and down this plane and gave it the appearance of movement (as in a windblown flag). The ceiling was moving much differently than before and because of the increase in area affected was illuminating the entire room in bright blue. The ceiling pattern was now not random rippling but row upon row of undulating blue tubes, about one and a half inches in diameter, moving across the width of the room. The edges of each tube were shadowed with gray and the entire affected area of the ceiling was slightly out of focus, fuzzy. There were scores of rows of these things, side by side, apparently touching and undulating up and down with no synchronization to each of the others movement. They emanated from the left wall and disappeared into the right side wall, endlessly. The display was also three-dimensional with the tubes curving down below the ceiling plane and then up beyond where the ceiling and roof should be. It was as if the ceiling in the lit portion of the room was, again, gone. The witness was in awe and kept thinking, “remember everything”.
Because the room was so brightly lit it was easy to see detail in the creature standing before him. With his head raised, the distance from his face to the creature was maybe five feet. It was standing just behind the “curtain of light” and never passed through it. Its face was the size of a human size and shape. The mouth was narrow, no lips, and remained as a straight slit the entire time. The nose was small and had two nostrils. Ears were smaller than ours, but not tiny, and flat against the sides of its head. It’s eyes were huge and jet black, and though they appeared wet and glossy he never saw it blink, nor did he detect eyelids. Its cranium was startling in its size and shape. It was twice the size of an adult human and when he originally raised his head as it was looking to its right he could see that the back of its head cantilevered dramatically over the back of its neck. It had no hair, but where the position of a forehead hairline would be, was instead, a crease in its skull that ran around its entire head. The top of its head was flattened and where that surface met the curved sides of the head it formed a ridge or edge where the two dissimilar surfaces met. He noticed something about its eyes when it first turned to him when he moved. Its eyes were black and identical as it turned, but when it set its gaze on him its right eye caught the light differently than the left. He could actually see through the external membrane into the back of the eye. There was an area of vertical, silver striation that appeared to be part of its inner eye. Its expression never changed. It made no sound. It did not move. At some point, the “curtain of light” and the undulating tubes in the ceiling were gone. He never looked away, but he did not see them disappear. They were just gone.
Something appeared on the eyes of the creature. Again, though he did not avert his gaze he did not see it materialize. It was just there. It looked similar to “netting” but with a crude and randomly spaced and shaped weave. The color was light brown and both eyes were affected. This “netting” transformed from a narrow brown matrix to a much broader, crisp, gray and white, glossy material. The pattern remained the same but the appearance of the substance forming the pattern changed dramatically. He was staring into its eyes from five feet away and did not see the transition. He has no explanation for this. He lay back on the pillow, never breaking his gaze. He did not move. He doesn’t know if he was able but no part of him moved. He recalled having no sensation. He felt no fear. There was no sound. The creature displayed no alarm at him waking and showed no aggression. At some point the “curtain of light” and moving blue ceiling reappeared and increased dramatically in brightness, so quickly and so bright that he raised his head and had to squint his eyes to see. He was trying to see the true color of the creature through the blue and white light, which at this point, was swirling around the being. The “light curtain” still existed across the room but a “cyclone” of light encircled the creature. Myriad white and blue bolts of light created a sparkling cascade of “glitter” as they randomly crossed through each other, surrounding this being in a cocoon of sparking light. The room was brilliant with flashing and swirling blue and white light, enabling him to easily see detail of the creatures head. Its skin was not blue, but a very light gray mottled with purple. The color reminded him of how a human, exhibiting cyanosis, looks. There were vessels coursing across its face and head, some exceptionally large, primarily on its forehead. They were blue, with many easily visible bifurcations, and looked like the vessels we see on very pale humans. There was one especially large vein above its right eye that ran vertically; split at the skull crease, with the largest section running up onto the top of its head and a smaller, yet very prominent branch, running left laterally just below the crease. Despite the intense light being generated in the room he never saw this creature blink, yet its eyes remained as glossy as polished lacquer. It seemed to be emanating light and the “glitter” effect became almost blinding as the cyclonic swirls surrounding this creature increased in speed. There was no sound.
He has a clear memory of the creature being in the air, off the floor, encased in light, with its left side toward him. It is the only postural change that he remembers but he never saw it happen. He only remembers that it was in the air. He was looking right at it and did not see it rise. It somehow got in the air, surrounded by swirling light. The creature was still in its position at the foot of his bed, behind the “light curtain” (having never crossed through it) when the witness had a sudden awareness that his feet were almost touching the transparent vertical surface. He could feel that his heels were over the end of the mattress, but he could not move them. To this point he had felt no fear, only a sense of amazement and wonder. But suddenly, he was gripped with a sense of terror. It was immediate and crippling in its intensity. The creature did nothing that he could recall that would have prompted his fear. However his curiosity and sense of enchantment instantly turned to a feeling of impending doom. This is the point where he remembers sensing his body. He could physically feel and his emotion was hopelessness. It is the only time in his life that he knew something was about to happen to him and that the outcome was not only going to be dire, but he could not stop it. His arms moved and he rolled onto his left side. His eyes closed. He doesn’t know why. There was no sound. He thinks that he was lying there for about a minute. His eyes opened and he looked over his shoulder to where the creature stood. It was gone, as was the transparent “curtain”, and the blue light. He was disoriented, confused. He did not appear to be in his room and it was not as dark as it should be. The walls to his left and ahead of him were not where they should have been. They were both too far away. He sat up and did not recognize the room. The walls were not where they should be. The room was too big. He was dizzy and did not know where he was. He leaned back on his left arm, feeling like he was going to fall over. He was certain he was in his room and kept looking around trying to orient himself. The wall to his left and at the foot of the bed seemed to be moving away from him. He could not explain how in one instant he was conscious and lucid, and the next, groggy, disoriented, and weak. He fell onto his back and wondered why it was lighter than it should be. It appeared to be almost morning. Everything seemed different, foreign. His last thought was resignation that this must be his room.
He woke up in the morning. His memory of this event is disjointed and he cannot explain why. When he last saw the creature it was standing at the foot of his bed. He has a vivid, detailed memory of its face being so close to his that he could only see its right eye. Its face would have had to be almost touching his for this to have occurred. He never saw it move toward him. There was a time when a significant part of the bedroom ceiling appeared to be gone. Large undulating, blue tubes were where the ceiling should have been and their movement and height was well up beyond where the plane of the ceiling should have been. He failed to notice any relationship between that phenomenon and the display moving across the transparent panel. Like much of what happened that night, he may have been looking directly at it but did not see it happen. He has no explanation for those lapses.

Maak kennis met 11 mensen die zeggen contact te hebben met buitenaardsen
De afgelopen jaren heeft fotograaf Steven Hirsch zich verdiept in verhalen van mensen die zeggen contact te hebben met buitenaardse wezens. Van een aantal van hen maakte hij een portret. Hij kwam met het fenomeen in aanraking tijdens een conventie in de Amerikaanse staat Connecticut. “Het was een verbijsterende ervaring die me nog tientallen jaren is bijgebleven,” vertelde Hirsch aan nieuwssite Business Insider.

Hij reisde naar het zuidwesten van de Verenigde Staten om zijn project voort te zetten. Het landschap beïnvloedt de manier waarop je denkt, aldus Hirsch. “In New York sta je ver van het universum af, maar in het zuidwesten kun je niet om de sterrenhemel heen,” zei hij. Op zijn website kun je meer portretten, tekeningen en anekdotes bekijken.
“Ik had een gat in mijn achterhoofd dat onder een uv-lamp oplichtte en werd omgeven door een driehoek.” – Lisa
“Ik heb verschillende soorten wezens ontmoet. Ik heb salamanderachtige wezens ontmoet. Ik heb verschillende soorten Greys ontmoet. Ik heb ook Blauwe Arcturianen ontmoet die onvoorstelbaar zijn. Ze hebben allemaal een eigen persoonlijkheid. Ik heb nog nooit een wezen ontmoet dat kwaad in de zin had. Ik had nog nooit onvoorwaardelijke liefde ervaren tot ik oog in oog stond met ze.” – Cynthia

“Op 5 november 1975 was ik samen met zes anderen aan het werk in een afgelegen bos toen we een ongeïdentificeerd vliegend object zagen en ik werd meegenomen aan boord. Mijn collega’s werd moord ten laste gelegd, waarop ze een smoes bedachten. De politie nam een leugendetectortest af. Ze doorstonden de test, die sindsdien wordt gebruikt om mijn ervaring weg te redeneren.” – Travis

“Ik zeg tegen ze dat ik wil blijven, dat ik niet weg wil. Ik begin te huilen. Ik zeg dat ik het hier fijn vind. Ik hoor hier thuis. Ze zeggen dat het niet mijn tijd is. Je moet helpen om deze planeet aarde te redden. Dat is alles wat ik me herinner.” – Stephen

“Ze zijn de afgelopen vier jaar niet meer langsgeweest. Ik ben teleurgesteld. Ik vond het fijn als ze kwamen. Ik hoopte iets te leren, maar ze zeiden nooit iets tegen me. Alleen als ze een boodschap hadden op het moment dat ik iets vroeg. Die boodschap was eigenlijk dat ik mijn mond moest houden.” – Terrance

After responding to a call regarding unusual lights in the sky, police in Lower Paxton Township, Pennsylvania say they also witnessed a UFO.
ABC 27 in Harrisburg reported on a UFO sighting in Lower Paxton Township Monday night. Resident Stephanie Wilkerson says she was enjoying a glass of wine when she spotted a strange light.
She told ABC 27, “I thought it was a plane until I realized it wasn’t moving. I watched it for about 20 minutes and I started noticing it changing colors.”
She called to her husband to come outside and also called a neighbor. She says her neighbor was amazed and got a pair of binoculars to get a closer look. At first the neighbor thought it was a planet, but he says it changed colors, turning yellow, which made him rule that out.

A family were left stunned when they discovered the skeleton on a 60,000-year-old mammoth in their firm’s gravel pit.
Mammoth found by Marty McEwen and grandson Ethan Beasley in Texas
Scientists believe female creature would have been around 9ft (2.7m) tall
It is believed Ice Age animal died in Ellis Country after she fell on her side
The skeleton has been donated to the nearby Perot Museum in Texas
The almost complete set of pristine fossils were uncovered in May when Marty McEwen and his grandson Ethan Beasley were digging at the family business in Texas.
After Mr McEwen hit a 6ft-long (1.8m) tusk with an excavator, the pair alerted nearby palaeontologists who carefully removed layers of mud which are millennia old.
A family were left stunned when they discovered the skeleton on a 60,000-year-old mammoth in their firm’s gravel pit. Perot Museum of Natural History Fossil Preparator Ron Tykoski, excavates a preserved mammoth skeleton found by gravel pit owner Wayne McEwen, in Ellis County, Texas
Experts believe the creature’s relatively small size – it would only have been around 9ft (2.7m) tall – shows it is a female mammoth.
Tom Vance, a palaeontologist from nearby Navarro College, Texas, believes the animal died after she fell on her left side.
Remarkably it appears as if the clearly visible skull, ribs and lower jaw have been relatively untouched bar a few missing leg bones.
Mr Vance said: ‘I am extremely excited about this outstanding find – it’s very unique for North Central Texas.
The skeleton has been donated the nearby Perot Museum in Texas where it will be examined thoroughly
It is estimated that the skeleton could be between 20,000 and 60,000 years old. It will be transported to a permanent home at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas, Texas
The creature’s relatively small size – it would only have been around 9ft (2.7m) tall – shows it was a female
‘We were very excited to discover the mammoth in our sand pit and realise it was 90 per cent complete,’ Mr McEwen said. To protect the precious fossil, the McEwens have chosen not to disclose the excavation site
’What is so meaningful is to know that this animal walked through our backyard thousands of years ago.’
‘We were very excited to discover the mammoth in our sand pit and realise it was 90 per cent complete,’ Mr McEwen added.
‘One of the greatest joys in this whole thing was to meet and see the excitement on the faces of the many volunteers.
‘It needed to stay in North Texas so it can be enjoyed for a long time to come.’
It appears as if the skull, ribs and lower jaw have been relatively untouched bar a few missing leg bones
Ron Tykoski, the museum’s palaeontologist, said: ‘The McEwens have made a huge contribution to science. ‘This fossil is now part of the public trust, meaning scientists can describe it, study it, publish papers on it’
The skeleton has been donated by the McEwen’s to the nearby Perot Museum, Texas where it will be examined thoroughly after being catalogued.
To protect the precious fossil during this transition process, the museum and McEwen family have chosen not to disclose the excavation site.
Ron Tykoski, the museum’s palaeontologist, said: ‘The McEwens have made a huge contribution to science.
‘This fossil is now part of the public trust, meaning scientists can describe it, study it, publish papers on it and display it from this time on.
‘Without their gift, this magnificent creature might have gone onto the auction block, never to be seen again.
Excavations conducted in a tomb in Casta, in ancient Amphipolis, have raised questions. The area is being guarded by the police while the Greek Ministry of Culture and Sports is monitoring ongoing developments.
Archaeologists are wondering if they have discovered an ancient royal tomb. According to data presented by the department head of ancient monuments in northern Greece, Catherine Peristeri, excavations in Casta mound have revealed a unique world monument due to its size reaching a height of 3 meters and a total length of 497 meters.
The tomb dates back to 325-300 BC and reportedly bears the signature of famous ancient architect Dinocrates, a close friend of Alexander the Great.
According to Peristeri, major historical events had taken place in the area of Amphiboles during that period. Major generals and admirals of Alexander the Great are associated with the area, and it is there that in 311 BC Cassander exiled and then killed the wife of Alexander the Great, Roxanne, and his son, Alexander the Fourth.
The tomb consists of foundations, supporting columns, a top part and decorations of white marble from Thassos. It was destroyed during the Roman period and many architectural elements disappeared, some of which were discovered during excavations in the area where the famous Lion of Amphipolis is located.
Excavations in the mound of Amphipolis first started in the 1960s. Many have claimed that the tomb belongs to Alexander the Great. However, archaeologists and experts say that although the monument is really important, it is not attributed to him.
Samaras visits ancient Amphipolis Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, accompanied by his wife Georgia and Culture Minister Constantinos Tassoulas, is visiting the site of Ancient Amphipolis, in northern Greece. Samaras will also visit Kasta hill and will be guided through the ongoing archaeological excavation site.

Wilkerson says she then decided it was time to call the cops. An officer came by, and apparently he was also baffled by what he saw, especially after seeing the object move when he looked at it through the binoculars.
ABC 27 interviewed Lt. Gary Seefeldt of the Lower Paxton Township police, who said, “He went there, and apparently he saw them too. So he called his sergeant and his corporal to verify what he was seeing.”
The police called nearby Fort Indiantown Gap Army and National Guard post, and Harrisburg International Airport. Both said they had no aircraft activity in the area at that time.
The police wrote up an incident report, but were left baffled.
Seefeldt says, “Our officers saw something that was out of the ordinary for the night sky.”
ABC 27 reporter Mark Hall asked some of the neighbors if they had also seen the lights. He says one neighbor said her husband saw the “thing,” but thought it was a helicopter. Another neighbor said they saw the same “thing” Friday night.
Hall says for the most part, residents are not sure what that “thing” was they saw.
“All I know is I’m scared,” Wilkerson told Hall.
She says, “For me to see that, I am now a believer…in UFOs.”
Voor het eerst waterwolken ontdekt buiten het zonnestelsel
Voor het eerst waterwolken ontdekt buiten het zonnestelsel
Wetenschappers hebben voor het eerst waterwolken buiten ons zonnestelsel ontdekt. De wolken omringen een bruine dwerg op slechts 7,3 lichtjaar van de aarde. Het Jupiterachtige object is onlangs ontdekt met behulp van de WISE-telescoop. Dat meldt vakblad Science.
Op de bruine dwerg, WISE J0855-0714 genaamd, is het iets kouder dan op aarde: de temperatuur ligt er net onder het vriespunt. “Ik ben helemaal geobsedeerd door dit object,” zei astronoom Jacqueline Faherty van het Carnegie Instituut in Washington DC.
Het object is net zo groot als Jupiter en drie tot 10 keer zo zwaar. De bruine dwerg wordt niet verlicht door een zon en staat vlak bij ons: na Alpha Centauri, Ster van Barnard en Luhman 16 het dichtstbijgelegen stelsel.
Het object is klein en koud, waardoor het met behulp van sterrenwachten aan het aardoppervlak niet kon worden ontdekt. Drie avonden achtereen gebruikte Faherty de Magellan Baade-telescoop in Chili om infraroodfoto’s te maken van de bruine dwerg. “Ik ben helemaal in de wolken,” zei ze.
Haar team schrijft in The Astrophysical Letters dat de wolken rond de bruine dwerg niet alleen uit waterijs, maar ook uit natriumsulfide lijken te bestaan. “Dit is ongelooflijk interessant,” zei Jonathan Fortney van de Universiteit van Californië in Santa Cruz. Hij voegde toe dat dit het eerste bewijs is voor waterwolken buiten ons zonnestelsel.
In ons eigen zonnestelsel worden waterwolken alleen gezien op aarde en Mars. De reuzenplaneten Jupiter en Saturnus zijn zo koud dat er alleen ammoniawolken te zien zijn, terwijl de atmosfeer van Uranus en Neptunus het zicht belemmert.
Er werd eerder al waterdamp ontdekt in de atmosfeer van exoplaneten, maar waterwolken zijn een geheel nieuw fenomeen. Met instrumenten als de James Webb-ruimtetelescoop, die in 2018 gelanceerd moet worden, kan de ontdekking worden bevestigd.
A pilot and his co-pilot have spotted a mysterious orange and red glow over the Pacific Ocean.
The strange lights were spotted south of the Russian peninsula Kamchatka during the flight of a Boeing 747-8 from Hong Kong to Anchorage, Alaska.
And while no explanation has yet been given, it's thought that they may have originated from the explosion of a huge volcano under the surface of the ocean.
Strange lights have been spotted near the Russian peninsula of Kamchatka (image by Dutch pilot JPC van Heijst). The sighting was made by pilots flying from Hong Kong to Alaska. The glow came about 20 minutes after a vertical lightning bolt was seen
Dutch pilot JPC van Heijst explained on PBase how, five hours into the ten-hour flight, they spotted an intense flash of light like a lightning bolt, directed vertically up in the distance.
This was then followed by a deep red and orange glow 20 minutes later.
And the experience left van Heijst somewhat perturbed, owing to the lack of an explanation for what happened.
‘Last night over the Pacific Ocean, somewhere South of the Russian peninsula Kamchatka I experienced the creepiest thing so far in my flying career,’ he said.
There were no thunderstorms on their route or weather-radar, suggesting the lightning did not originate in a storm.
The glow is also a mystery; similar lights have been spotted from squid-fishing-boats, but van Heijst says this ‘would not make sense in this area’.
‘The closer we got, the more intense the glow became, illuminating the clouds and sky below us in a scary orange glow, in a part of the world where there was supposed to be nothing but water,’ he continued.
‘The only cause of this red glow that we could think of, was the explosion of a huge volcano just underneath the surface of the ocean, about 30 minutes before we overflew that exact position.’
He was then nervous of encountering an ash-plume in the middle of the night, but fortunately they did not encounter anything of the sort.
Before the flight they had heard via radio about earthquakes in Iceland, Chile and San Francisco.
But despite their being a few volcanoes on their route, they had had not been alerted to any new activity - although this doesn't necessarily include unseen underwater volcanoes.
WHAT CAUSED THIS MYSTERY GLOW?
After the initial vertical lightning bolt it was thought the phenomenon could have been a thunderstorm, but that was ruled out when none were reported in the area.
The predominant theory at the moment is that the lights were caused by an underwater volcano.
Such eruptions are not unprecedented; on 21 November 2013 an submarine volcano famously created a new 'island' off the coast of Japan.
Another explanation is they were caused by lights from fishing boats.
Last week astronaut Reid Riseman was left baffled by a similarly bizarre green flurry of lights (shown below) off the coast of Bangkok.
It is thought those lights were in fact created by fishing boats. The offshore illumination comes from enormous arrays of bright green LED lights used to attract squid and other sea life to the surface.
However that explanation has been ruled out for the latest mystery glow, as more than 50 boats would be needed to produce light of this magnitude - but no fleet of fishing boats was thought to be operating in the area.
The strange lights (shown at the pink dot) were spotted south of the Russian peninsula Kamchatka during a flight from Hong Kong to Anchorage, Alaska (flight path in blue)
Van Heijst ruled out squid-fishing-boats as the origin. He says the cause may have been an underwater volcano. An ongoing investigation is taking place to find out what happened
Together with his co-pilot van Heijst says they felt ‘everything but comfortable’, while no other aircraft were nearby to confirm the sighting.
‘We reported our observations to Air Traffic Control and an investigation into what happened in this remote region of the ocean is now started,’ he added.
‘Now I'm just hoping that if a new island has been formed there [from the eruption], at least it can be named after me as the official discoverer.
‘That would be pretty cool!’
‘The closer we got, the more intense the glow became, illuminating the clouds and sky below us in a scary orange glow, in a part of the world where there was supposed to be nothing but water,’ said van Heijst
Around the Pacific Ocean is a region known as the Ring of Fire, where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur that may have been the origin of glow. The horseshoe shape is 25,000 miles (40,000 km) and, with 452 volcanoes, is home to more than 75 per cent of the planet's active and dormant volcanoes

NBC cameraman catches a UFO was then interrogated by FBI on 22nd August 2014
NBC cameraman catches a UFO was then interrogated by FBI on 22nd August 2014
This is a clip of a news broadcast from August 22, 2014 – NBC (KSN) Cameraman, Brandon Mallory, shot the footage in 2002. He says he didn’t notice the object when filming, but when he went back to edit the video he just happened to pause it on one of the seven frames that it was in. His television station called the police who then notified the FBI. He then claims he was “hooked up to little wires” for hours and was submitted to a polygraph. The object in the film goes behind a cloud that is estimated to be 5,000 ft in the air.
Researcher and colleague Albert Rosales forwarded an recent amazing encounter report from central Spain…specifically, multiple witnesses chased by a giant humanoid:
Location: Talavera de la Reina, Toledo, Spain Date: August 21, 2014 Time: late night
The main witness, F. L. and two friends had gone to perform some meditation exercises in a field near a local extension bridge. After sometime of silent meditation a luminous sphere 1/3 the size of the moon descended to hover over the men. At first F. L. attempted to ignore the object but was suddenly struck by a powerful “electrical current”. A minute later the large sphere vanished but not before a smaller luminous sphere was seen to detach itself from the larger one. Curious the three friends looked around and walked alongside a wall about 2.5m in length which connected two posts, this went on along the field for about 1km.
As they searched the area they began to notice a very strong sulfuric odor around them and the temperature seemed to rise also. F. L. decided to run ahead of his two friends to reach the end of the wall. As he ran he suddenly heard his friends yelling at him, “Stop, Stop! Please come back, come back!” F. L. then stopped and turned around, running back to his friends, who stood about 100 meters away. His two friends then told F. L. that, while he ran, they had seen on the other side of the wall a strange figure at least 3-4 meters in height which seemed to slide at high speed right above the ground in his direction. As his friends began to scream the figure seemed to hide behind a tree only about 5 meters away from F. L. (on the other side of the wall).
At that very same moment F. L. turns around and sees standing behind the tree a gigantic figure, 3-4 meters tall with eyes that shone a bright golden-yellow light. He stared in disbelief at the figure’s eyes as it stared back at him. At that moment only he could think was that the creature was going to “grab him” and yells at his friends to run. All three took off running for their life (at least that was the feeling among the witness) as they ran they looked behind them and could see the huge figure sliding on top of the wall apparently following the men. They ran until the road ended and then they ran across a wooded field near the bridge. Upon reaching the main road the strange figure had thankfully disappeared.
The next day the main witness returned to the scene and was stunned to see that the tree which the creature had briefly hidden behind was about 8 meters in height, and he is now convinced that the creature was almost as tall as the tree itself, making much taller than 4 meters(!). He searched around and found an area of flattened and scorched grass. The odor was no longer present. According to his two friends, as they ran their legs felt numb as if being pricked but sharp needles which impeded their progress (F. L. did not feel this). All three men reported that as they entered the field running away from the gigantic figure they were enveloped in some sort of “spider web” which covered their faces making visibility almost impossible. They eventually freed themselves from the strange web-like substance and left the area. According to F. L. the trees in the area were mostly dried up with little vegetation and he has never seen spiders or webs in the area.
Actual recovered photo of P.T. Barnum's "The Real Mermaid" before the evidence was destroyed by a fire that took place before the public appearance. This is the only known photo to exist. This is the mermaid in the tank.
Owner of the photo found it while digging through family heirlooms
Vera Renczi, a stunningly beautiful woman, was also one of the most prolific female serial killers in history. Born in 1903 in Bucharest, Romania into wealth and privilege, by the age of 15 she had engaged in numerous affairs .If she suspected they were being unfaithful, the men were given a dose of arsenic. Vera confessed to killing both husbands and her son. Lorenzo discovered her secret and attempted to blackmail her. Vera Renczi was convicted on 35 counts of murder.
The Primwaddle Twins, Mort and Harvey, circa 1929. Their mother, Discordia's husband left after seeing the homely pair. Embittered to men, left alone to raise boys, she insisted they were girls, and got away with it home-schooling them for 17 years; until Mort learned otherwise. The teenagers murdered her in her sleep, strangled in chiffon, her eyes gouged out and replaced with doll eyes.
This is the Buckley Family. The children’s names were Susan and John. As a Halloween joke, all the kids in the neighborhood were going to get a dummy and pretend to chop its head off. The Buckley children thought it would be hilarious to actually murder their mother, so when the kids walked up the the door, they got an axe and slaughtered her. Once everyone figured out what they had really done, they called the police, but the kids were long gone. The only picture of them was this photo...
My little sister is 8 years younger then me. I am 23 years old and she is 16 at the end of the year.
Anyway my story goes back a few years ago (about 2006) when we lived in this one house, it always gave me the creeps but anyway it started one morning we were all getting ready for school and my sister says to my mum "granny visited me last night" I just kept eating my toast and my mum looked at her and said oh that's nice. (she seemed a little freaked out but figured it was just a silly dream making up stuff as any young child does)
A few days passed and my sister went into my mums room and put her hand on my mums arm and said "granny told me to tell you everything will be okay" and my mum burst into tears and held my sister not 100% believing her but a slight belief.
During this time I had left school as I was diagnosed with Follicular Thyroid Cancer (I was 15 at the time) so for my mum to hear that made it really hit home, as my sister was only 7 years old at the time not really understanding what was happening.
A week later my sister told my mother "granny visited me again last night" so my mother decided to ask her questions to see if she was being a normal child making up stuff. She asked her "what did she say?" my mother never told me 100% what my sister told her but must of been crazy true for my own mother to not share that information.
But I did find out later on that almost every week my sister would have our granny come visit her and lay with her, she could describe her scent, the way she spoke (like her slang in a way), how she dressed, and stories she would tell her. Scariest - is how she looked!
The crazy part is, is that my granny died when I was 9 months old! so for my sister who is 8 years younger then me to know this stuff that I don't even know about or of even met her!
My Oma (grandmother) only had one photo of her mother which I remember seeing when I was really young but the photo was put into storage and my sister has never seen the picture.
So anyway not a scary well written story but just a nice creepy true story. - Reddit.com
Baton Rouge, LA- On the first Monday night in May, 1991, I was watching the news with my dog. The ABC World News had just begun on TV when my dog began to growl. I had never seen her like that. She had a good nature and was playful. Her hair suddenly stood up in a ridge along her back and she was crying and growling at the same time.
She jumped off the bed and went to the french door, with windows, that led from the bedroom to the backyard. She didn't paw to go out. Instead she sat down and kept growling and crying with her fur raised. She kept shaking her head. I got up to see what what was frightening her.
When I got to the door I noticed a screeching, buzzing, sound. It was similar to static. The TV blinked and so did the lights. It was actually hurting the dog.
When I looked in the backyard it was just beginning to get dark, but there was still some light out. In the distance, just above the tree tops of the woods behind my house, I saw a circular light. It was hovering. I could tell it wasn't the moon, or anything natural, because it wobbled as it hovered. My dog was staring straight at it and growling viciously. I thought it was odd. I began to stare at it too.
As I watched, it was as if I couldn't take my eyes away. Then I realized we were both unable to move. The static sound got louder but my dog couldn't shake her head. We were frozen in place. I was terrified. I wanted to run only I couldn't.
The light changed direction. It fell down through the trees and took a path through the woods toward my house. It wove through the trees and got bigger and brighter. It hurt my eyes. It wasn't stopping it came straight for my door, about six feet off the ground. The light got so bright I thought my eyes would burn. Then it was just gone.
I looked down at my dog. She was in exactly the same spot, drooling, and growling, but softer now. I was dizzy and disoriented. I was as if the light passed straight through us. I sat down on the floor to check my dog and she fell over and laid still, panting as if she'd been running.
The whole event seemed a few seconds long. When I looked up at the TV, Wheel Of Fortune was ending. An hour and a half had passed. The World News, the Local News, and Wheel Of Fortune had aired. I can't remember one thing during that time.
What is truly strange is that exactly one month later my dog vanished out of my backyard. I had to go out for a while. I left her outside. I had a five foot wooden fence around the yard. It was locked with a padlock. She wasn't a digger. I got home about nine PM and she was gone. The fence was locked. There was no fur on the ground. There were no holes in the yard. No one could have gotten over the fence, with a thirty-five pound dog, without a ladder. She was just gone.
I miss my dog, but mostly, it bothers me that I have no idea what happened during that time frame. I have severe headaches and strange dreams. I don't like to sleep at night. I have a strange rash all over my body and radiation has been found in the woods behind my house. What happened to me?? - MUFON CMS
Lagarfljótsormurinn, the giant serpent rumored to inhabit the lake Lagarfljót near Egilsstaðir in East Iceland truly exists, as announced on Saturday by the majority of a 13-person truth commission established in 2012 by the Fljótsdalshérað municipal council.
The commission was given the task of determining whether a video of the alleged monster shot by Hjörtur E. Kjerúlf, which went viral, was authentic and whether he was entitled to a prize of ISK 500,000 (USD 4,300, EUR 3,300).
“I was told about the commission’s conclusion and I’d like to say that I’m extremely pleased to confirm that the majority of the commission was right,” Hjörtur told austurfrett.is.
While concluding that Hjörtur’s video was authentic, the commission determined that a photo shot by Sigurður Aðalsteinsson, who had also made claim to the prize money, did not show the actual serpent.
Hjörtur shot the footage through his kitchen window at farm Hrafnkelsstaðir in Fljótsdalur early one morning in February 2012.
The video was originally posted on the website of national broadcaster RÚV and, after Iceland Review reported on it, reposted multiple times.
The video has now been watched approximately 8 million times and has prompted film crews from abroad to come to the lake in search of the serpent.
Former mayor of Austur-Hérað promised the prize in 1997 to the person presenting evidence of Lagarfljótsormurinn’s existence.
After Hjörtur and Sigurður made claim to the prize, the truth commission was established.
“I’ve long since lost sight of whether its establishment was serious or a joke but we were given the task of taking a position and finish this project,” the commission’s chair Stefán Bogi Sveinsson commented.
The commission also recommended further studies of Lagarfjótsormurinn. - Iceland Review
A UFO has caused major flight delays and even caused one to be cancelled in Germany.
Mystery: The UFO caused one flight to be cancelled and several to be delayed
Authorities took to the air in a helicopter but admit they still don’t know what the strange object was towering above them.
The mystery aircraft was spotted on radars at Bremen Airport between 4:30pm and 9:30pm local time on Tuesday.
A police helicopter was scrambled to try and find out exactly what was causing the delays. But authorities admit they still don’t know what the unidentified aircraft was.
A spokesperson for German Air Traffic Control (DFS) told the Weser Kurier: “It had normal lights, red and green, and an approach light on both sides.”
Eyewitness Dominique Höber told the same newspaper the object passed over his house four times. He said: “It looked like a plane, it had lights but was a lot louder.”
A flight from Frankfurt had to be cancelled while another from Munich had to be diverted to another airport.
The unexplained shape was captured on camera by a Nasa rover at work on the surface of Earth’s neighbour.
A UFO has been caught on camera – by a robot on MARS.
The bizarre celestial object, which looks like a spacecraft complete with vapour trail, was photographed by an unmanned Nasa rover at work on the surface of the Red Planet.
Some internet users offered potential explanations for the UFO.
Nix Nightbird commented: “It’s something on the lens of the rover camera.
“Ice, dust, whatever.”
Brad Parker said: “That’s obviously just a weather balloon.”
Joseph Stillwell had awakened to use the bathroom and had returned to his room. He has a habit of going to the window (facing west) and looking at the night sky before getting back in bed. At that time of year the moon and Orion constellation are up to the left, looking out. The night was crystal clear, calm, and the moonlight remarkably bright. Wanting to locate Orion, his gaze was initially to the left. Immediately he sensed movement in the sky to his right. He turned and saw a structure moving slowly overhead, brightly lit, and unlike anything he had ever seen or heard described. It could not have been more than three hundred feet away. It was shaped like a brick and was, by volume, the largest thing he had ever seen in flight. It had four sides, each rectangular, and ends that were about one third the area of the sides, also rectangular. The sides were approximately ninety to one feet long with the ends forty feet wide and thirty feet tall. It was moving toward and parallel to the rear of his house. At a point directly behind his house it would have been around twenty five feet (horizontally) from the building. It moved very slow, maybe ten miles an hour, and was alarmingly low, less than two hundred feet. The color was dull black, solid, seamless, with no windows or doors. The two sides and end that he could see were perfectly flat and non-reflective. The perimeter of the lower face (bottom) of the object was encircled with large red and green lights the size and shape of footballs. The colors alternated with every other one being red and green. The lights switched on and off in sequence running clockwise around the perimeter with at least four equally spaced points off simultaneously, giving the impression of rotation (as a theater marquee). These lights easily numbered more than one hundred. There was no sound. The movement of this thing was straight ahead, with no deviation in altitude nor laterally. Its flight was completely independent. There was nothing above or below the object, and nothing pulling or pushing it through the sky. He watched, never looking away, until it disappeared behind his house. He turned from the window with the intent of walking across the hall to the bedroom on the other side to watch the object pass. He managed just one step and stopped, at the foot of his bed, in the center of his room. He had not wanted to stop, he just stopped. He was unable to move, though he must have been breathing normally and possessed clear thought. He was completely paralyzed, standing. He was thinking that he just needed to walk a few steps to the other room but no part of him would move. He had lost all feeling and sensation. He does not know how long he was incapacitated but at some point he moved forward, without intention to do so. However, instead of going where he originally intended, he turned and sat on the edge of the bed, again unintentionally. He did not want to be there and thought that he should just get up and go see the object in the sky fly away, but again he could not move. His mind seemed completely disconnected with his body, but he felt no concern. He was sitting at the edge of the bed, suddenly exhausted, when instantly the room lit up brightly. A light shone through the window to his left (about two feet away), facing the backyard. No part of him could move and quickly lost all strength, slumping forward, but could only think about and be awestruck about the “whiteness” of the light. Although exceptionally bright, its absolute clarity was the focus of his thought. Other than awe, he felt no emotion, and to this point he had experienced no fear. He could not move and his strength was depleted. He was seated about half way up the right side of the bed, sitting well back, with the back of his lower legs handing between his knees. He had slumped so far forward that his face was almost touching his hands. He felt as though he was about to crumple to the floor and remember thinking, “They are at the window, don’t look.” At that instant he fell over onto his left side onto the bed. His legs were still over the side of the bed with both of his feet still on the floor. His eyes closed and he was confused as to why his feet were “stuck” to the floor. He wondered why he couldn’t open his eyes, whey he couldn’t lift his arms, and why his feet were so heavy. He had no thought of the craft in the sky or the light in his room. His concern was his feet and how he could retrieve them. Both of his hands had been on his lap when he fell over and were now lying at the edge of the bed, over which my legs were hanging. He managed to move the fingers of his right hand and grab his right knee and pulled. He could not move it. He was barely able to move the fingers of his left hand and gripped his right wrist. He pulled as hard as he could and his foot slowly lifted off the floor. He could not open his eyes and he heard no sound. It took quite a while but eventually his left drug up onto the bed. The same process for the left leg was successful and at that point he believes he lost consciousness. He has no further memory of that night. He opened his eyes and it was morning.
Grandfather Michael Potter discovered the possible extra-terrestrial when photographing cloud formations in the holiday resort of Mounts Bay
Is this spooky image proof of extra-terrestrial life?
Amateur photographer Michael Potter was stunned when he looked up and saw the unidentified flying object in the sky.
Grandfather Michael, from Penzance, Cornwall, was taking photographs of the cloud formations at the seaside holiday resort of Mounts Bay last month when he snapped the anomaly by accident.
But it wasn’t until he uploaded the images to his laptop to edit the shots that he noticed the obscured object streaking across the sky.
Michael said: “I uploaded the photos to my laptop and had decided to delete the picture because of the apparent sunspot over part of the image.
“But just as I was about to press delete I noticed the image on the left of the photograph of what I thought was either an aircraft from Culdrose or the sun shining through the clouds.
“Something which had not been apparent when I took the photo.
“I enlarged the photo the best I could and was intrigued by what I saw.
“I have showed the image to friends and from dirt on the lens, sun shining through the clouds illuminating an aircraft, to it being a substantial meteorite we have explored every option.
“But I took forty-odd photos that day and only this one is blemished.
“The photo hasn’t been photo-shopped or tampered with, so what is it the mysterious object?”
The strange object can be seen hurtling across the dark sky in the top left of the image, and on closer inspection appears to be a blazing triangular shape.
The most likely explanation is that it is a large 4.3-billion-year-old meteor which was flying through the atmosphere at a top speed of up to 45 miles a second as it fell to Earth.
But this UFO isn’t the first of its kind to be spotted in the rural coastal area with sightings commonly reported along the Cornwall coastline.
The Cornwall UFO Research Group document all of the sightings in an area known as the ‘UFO triangle’ which boasts the most UFO and paranormal activity in the country.
The mysterious craft was seen with two others above Texas by plane spotter Steve Douglass, who quickly took this picture.
Aviation experts believe the photograph to be genuine and rumours are spreading it could in fact be a secret military jet.
In the seconds before picking up his camera, Steve claims to have listened in to a conversation between pilots on his radio, adding fuel to the classified aircraft claims.
UFO: The triangular-shaped craft
Plane expert Bill Sweetman posted on Aviationweek he believes it could be the US Air Force rehearsing a “high precision stealth attack.”
He said: “This is more than a random image.
“The aircraft seen here was accompanied by two others.
“This and the fact that Steve picked up some apparently related voice traffic suggests that the aircraft is piloted.
“I doubt that you’d dispatch three large, classified unmanned aircraft anywhere in formation. One obvious example is high-precision stealth attack.”
Musician Tom DeLonge witnessed multiple UFOs over San Diego on the night of Monday, August 25.
The Blink-182 and Angels and Airwaves rocker is an active UFO researcher, with more than twenty years of research under his belt. Needless to say, he was thrilled by his recent sighting.
DeLonge took to social media to share his experience, stating:
LAST NIGHT UFO IN SAN DIEGO!! Hahaah yes!! My wife and I followed it for 30 min, a fleet of cars were pulled over watching it with us. Some said they were watching it for an hour. It was 2 sets of lights, going in and out and popping up in different locations. Standard shit if you read about this stuff… HAHHA YES I WAS THERE. Does anyone know how happy I am!!??
A witness believes he captured video of a downed UFO being transported in the South West England county of Cornwall.
The video, uploaded to YouTube on Tuesday, August 12, shows a large object resembling a flying saucer secured to the trailer of a semi truck. The unidentified object is not directly visible as it is covered with a form-fitting cover. The witness recorded the video from a vehicle directly behind the truck and its strange cargo. The only accompanying vehicle appears to be a cautionary safety vehicle displaying attention-grabbing red and yellow stripes, flashing lights, and the warning, “Abnormal load.”
The witness agrees that the object being transported is definitely abnormal. He titled his video, “Wtf is that? UFO?”

The Huffington Post UK points out that some who have watched the video have suggested that the unidentified object is simply “a large reservoir intended to be buried below a petrol station or as a septic tank, or else some kind of turbine.”
What do you think about this mysterious object being transported on an English street in broad daylight? Recovered alien space craft? Large storage tank? Post your thoughts in a comment below, or on the Open Minds Facebook page.
Bill Herrmann claims that he was carried on a tubular beam of blue-green light into a flying saucer, this was on March 18, 1978. He was then examined by aliens from another star system and afterwards dropped off, terrified, in a field several miles from home.
About a year later he obeyed a telepathic summons from the same humanoid creatures and met the craft for another trip up the blue-green beam and into space.
Herrmann has been hypnotised several times to help him remember his experience.
He first saw the saucers or UFOs in late 1977, but in March 1978 he watched a metal disc, about 60 feet in diameter, as it manouvered near his home north-west of Charleton, USA.
Herrmann told the Herald-Journal in 1981:
"It [the flying saucer] dropped abruptly from the sky. Suddenly it was right in front of me. I fell backward. The next thing I knew there was light all round me, green and blue, and I felt myself being tugged upward.
I couldn't remember anything. I didn't know where I was. A terrible fear came over me and I stood weeping for what seemed a long time. I felt dirty. I felt like I can't describe it. I felt like I had been around something I shouldn't have been around."
Under hypnosis he recalled an examining table within the flying saucer, also flashing lights and creatures who looked like human fetuses with enlarged heads and eyes. They had spongy white skin and wore rust coloured jumpsuits. They were about 4.5 feet tall.
Bill Herrmann under hypnotic regression
Herrmann also tells of a further visitation. On April 21 1979 he claims a pair of aliens materialised briefly in his home. Then on May 16th he saw the spacecraft again from his home and received a telepathic message that he was to meet them at a nearby industrial estate.
Once at the rendezvous a blue-green tube of light again carried him inside the craft and he found himself on the examining table. Herrmann said of this, "I felt repelled by their appearance. But I felt inferior in their presense."
The aliens/occupants of the craft told him that they were from a world near twin stars, more than 30 light years away, where their entire civilisation was devoted to interstellar exploration.
Herrmann claims the saucer/craft travelled to Florida. Here they whizzed him past the Kennedy Centre and showed delight at the primitive vehicles on the ground.
He went on to say that the aliens told him that Earth governments had resisted attempts at friendly contact, but they insisted they meant no harm and their purpose would eventually be made clear.
And that is Herrmann's story. Below is a YouTube video of one of his hypnotic regressions. It's quite lengthy.
THREE UFO LIGHTS MANEUVER OVER NORTH CAROLINA AUGUST 14-14 ……………….. CATAWABA NORTH CAROLINA
On the night of 8/14/14 at approximately 8:48 pm, I was traveling south on Highway 10 in Catawba, NC. As I rounded a corner in the road, still facing south, I immediately saw three white-yellow-orange lights in a vertical formation in the sky in front of me at a distance of about 10 miles. The middle light in the arrangement was orders of magnitude brighter than anything in the visible sky. The other two lights were also brighter than anything else in the sky besides the center light. The lights appeared to be about three or four times the size of a radio tower light or about a quarter of the size of a full moon. I would estimate that the lights were between 1 and 2 miles high in the sky. The middle light in the vertical arrangement appeared to be the center or focal point for the other lights to move around.
Upon closer inspection, I noticed there were smaller, whiter lights that were not connected to the vertical arrangement that would move up, down, left, and right. All of the smaller white lights not involved in the original vertical arrangement of lights would move independently but would all return to the center light, which was the brightest, before finally disappearing and then reappearing again seconds later at another point in the sky. I took video of this for two minutes before the lights, which were moving south, fell below the tree line. I followed in the direction of the lights and about 4 miles further south (going towards Lincoln County, NC) caught the arrangement of the three main lights through a tree line.
When I stopped my vehicle, the three brightest lights were no longer in a vertical formation but a triangular formation. At this point the lights appeared higher in the sky, which I assumed meant I was positioned more “underneath” the objects. Upon inspecting the lights, and within a minute of seeing the object at the second location, two of the lights merged and then slowly drifted to again merge with the brightest center light. I was not able to video this formation. The object then passed below the tree tops and I continued to follow south. Three minutes later and two miles further south by southwest I witnessed the brightest main light for a few seconds before it continued to move south. This was the last visual confirmation of the object(s).
An Illinois witness at Waltonville reported watching a “giant ship” with a slight glow to it that moved overhead on August 23, 2014, according to testimony in Case 59230 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was fishing with friends when the object was noticed “just cruising along at a very high altitude.”
“This thing had to be at least a half mile long or longer,” the witness stated. “It wasn’t lit up bright. It had a slight glow to it .Nothing fancy.”
The object reminded the witness of ships depicted in Hollywood films.
“I have seen a lot of things in the night sky and have never seen anything like this. It reminded me of some of the giant ships on the ‘Star Wars’ movie.”
The witness stated that the object looked like something out of a ‘Star Wars’ movie. Pictured: Waltonville, IL. (Credit: Google)
The witness provided one illustration with the MUFON report, which was submitted on August 25, 2014.
“I have included a very generic picture I made in Paint real quick just to give a basic outline. Please remember that this is just the bottom of the object so I have no idea on how tall this thing was.”
The witness described the object’s movement.
“It was flying in a straight path heading north from my location. It just flew out of visual range.”
The witness said the object, cruising at high altitude, was something he had never seen before. Pictured: Waltonville, IL. (Credit: Google)
Waltonville is a village in Jefferson County, Illinois, population 422. Illinois MUFON is investigating. Illinois has a current UFO Alert Rating of 4 with a higher than average number of recent reports nationally. Illinois had 22 UFO reports in July 2014 – the 12th highest reporting state – while California had 104 reports as the highest reporting state. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

UPDATE: Marine experts are slightly scratching their heads over a 'mysterious blob' that washed up on Mudjimba Beach earlier today but they think they may have identified it.
A spokeswoman for Queensland Museum said marine experts had taken a look at photos of the blob and said it was difficult to tell without examining it however they said they felt it was a sea slug.
"It's hard to pinpoint without examining it and knowing the size," she said.
"Their nearest guesses, based on colour and the side 'frills' is that it might be a Spanish Dancer sea slug."
EARLIER: A red, 'mysterious blob' has washed up on Mudjimba Beach this morning, confusing passers by.
Twitter user Debbie Higgs @Debz73 contacted The Daily this morning after she noticed the unusual find on her morning walk.
The Mt Coolum woman said she was taking some photos at Mudjimba Beach when she stumbled across the find.
"It looks like a slug, it's got ribbing," she said.
"I've never seen anything like it."
Ms Higgs said she saw the mysterycreature, which has since died, wash up onto the beach.
"I gave it a poke and it wriggled a bit. It's not a turtle as it hasn't got any legs."
"It's bright red."
She said she was determined to find out what it was so she grabbed a tea towel from her car and used it to take it home with her. - sunshinecoastdaily
I was living in the basement suite of an older building with my brother. We had moved to the 'big city' from small town Canada to go to University and our landlord and his girlfriend lived right above us.
We had been there for about 5 months and during a blizzard on a cold January night, I was alone in the apartment studying. I decided to go to bed around 10 and was laying in my bed, reading and listening to the blizzard outside.
I started to hear noises coming from the laundry room, which was abutted to my bedroom wall. At first, I thought it might be from the storm and really tried to dismiss it. After 15-20 minutes, I realized the noises WERE coming from the laundry room! It sounded like someone was trying to move the laundry machines.
I ran to my apartment door and peeked out to the hall (I was a naive 20 year old, not fully comprehending city life yet) but didn't hear/see anything. I closed the door and called my landlord and told him what I was hearing. He dismissed it as being the blizzard. I hung up and went back to my bedroom.
I went back to bed and didn't hear anything. After about 1/2 an hour, the noises started up again, MUCH louder and more intense; like someone was kicking/banging on the machines. By now, it's about 11:30 and I'm pretty freaked out! I wasn't sure what to do as my landlord was probably asleep and I didn't want to wake them up again but I was really scared; I ran upstairs to his apartment and knocked on his door.
I had, indeed, woken him up. I told him something was making noises in the laundry room and the noises were getting louder and more intense. I also told him I was alone and scared. He looked a little pissed that I woke him up but he told me he'd be down in a few minutes. I went back to my apartment and waited.
He came down and I opened my apartment door, watching as he went through the hall doorway and into the laundry room.
What happened next, scared the living sh*t right out of me!
I heard him start to say "hey, what's..." and then saw him stumble backward, across the hall, into the wall behind him, while saying "holy f**king sh*t"! He bolted right past me, and ran up the stairs to his apartment. I closed my door right quick and locked it. I could here him yelling to his girlfriend through my apartment ceiling!
I cowered in my apartment, not knowing what the f**k to do! About 15 minutes later, I hear a knock at my door and "it's the police". I open the door and there's my landlord with a couple of cops.
This is what he had seen: When he opened the laundry room door, he saw a guy standing with his back to the door. He slowly turned around, facing my landlord, with one hand covering an eye and his other hand was raised, holding an axe! He started to move toward my landlord, like he was going to attack him and that's when the landlord bolted upstairs.
They inspected the laundry room and machines--NOTHING HAD BEEN DAMAGED OR MOVED?!?! So WTF had I heard? The guy was gone & they never found him.
I ended up staying on the couch at my landlord's. We moved out shortly after. - Reddit.com
The man had been preparing to cook a rare Asian delicacy when he was bitten by the dead snake's head.
The Indochinese spitting cobra had been killed beforehand so that it was ready to be used in the meal, but when chef Peng Fan went to prepare the snake for use in the dish he received a deadly bite from the deceased reptile's head as he was throwing it in the bin.
Unfortunately the venom, which was some of the deadliest in the animal kingdom, acted too quickly and Fan died before he could receive the treatment he needed in hospital.
"It is a highly unusual case, but it appears to be just an accident," said a police spokesman. "He prepared the snake himself and was just unlucky. There was nothing that could be done to save the man. It was just a tragic accident."
Snake expert Yang Hong-Chang maintains that the reptiles can still bite and inject venom in to a victim even after the head of the animal has been separated from its body.
"It is perfectly possible that the head remained alive and bit Peng's hand," he said. "By the time a snake has lost its head, it's effectively dead, as basic body functions have ceased, but there is still some reflexive action." - Yahoo
Humans are not newcomers when it comes to messing around with nature. While we haven't created Frankenstein's monster yet, what we do messes with the natural world. One recent example is the creation of the coywolf — a hybrid of the coyote and the wolf that is also known as the Eastern coyote.
These animals have a completely new genetic make up: Their genes are about 1/4 wolf DNA and 2/3 coyote DNA, the rest is from domesticated dogs. They were created when previously separate wolf and coyote populations merged in the land north of the Great Lakes.
While the grey wolf and the coyote are each other's closest living relatives, the two animals separated evolutionarily 1 to 2 million years ago. These hybrids have only really emerged en force during the last few decades, as wolves were hunted and forced north and coyotes moved east from the Great Plains.
According to The New York Times' Moises Velazquez-Manoff: "[The coywolf] can be as much as 40 percent larger than the Western coyote, with powerful wolflike jaws; it has also inherited the wolf's more social nature, which allows for pack hunting." Read more at Business Insider

Filer’s Files #33 – 2014 - Extraterrestrials are On Earth - PART I
Filer’s Files #33 – 2014 - Extraterrestrials are On Earth - PART I
In special reports, this week’s files cover: Four UFOs Seen near Space Station, Former Defense Minister of Canada Claims Extraterrestrials are on Earth,Airstrikes Have Blunted Islamist Advance in Iraq,Adamski Claimed to Have Met Extraterrestrials,Project Silver Bug Was a Plan for the US to Build UFOs,
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: Alabama, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Indiana, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, and Virginia.
Sightings of UFOs were also reported in: Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, India, Italy, Japan, Namibia, Peru, Turkey, England and Scotland in the United Kingdom and Venezuela.
The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The weekly intelligence report provides you with information on the latest sightings and UFO news that you need to understand the world situation. 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 and Prince Phillip told me of his personal interest in UFOs. The US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.
Hey guys, this was discovered by Streetcap1 of Youtube. He was watching the live NASA ISS cam and caught this on HD. Nice catch.
These glowing objects actually come into focus for a few seconds and reveal that they are four very large glowing orbs. The orbs are in formation, so they can get noticed more easily by the astronauts or live cam. Yes, I believe they did this on purpose.

Former Defense Minister of Canada Claims Extraterrestrials are On Earth
Paul Hellyer was Canadian minister of Defense in 1960s, ruling over the country’s armed forces during the time of the Cold War – and when he retired he publicly stated that we are not alone in the universe, and some guests from outer space actually live here, on planet Earth. Paul was on RT TV. August 18, 2014.
Sophie Shevardnadze:Our guest today is the Honorable Paul Hellyer, former minister of Defense of Canada, and he believes that life forms from space are present on Earth. It’s great to have you on our show. Why do you say that UFOs are as real as airplanes flying over our heads?
Paul Hellyerstates:“Because I know that they are here. As a matter of fact, they’ve been visiting our planet for thousands of years and one of the cases that would interest you most if you give me two or three minutes to answer is that during the Cold War, 1961, there were about 50 UFOs in formation flying south from Russia across Europe, and Supreme Allied Command was very concerned and about ready to press the “Panic” button when they turned around and went back over the North Pole.
They decided to do an investigation and they investigated for 3 years and they decided that, with absolute certainty, four species – at least – had been visiting this planet for thousands of years. We have a long history of UFOs and of course there has been a lot more activity in the last few decades, since we invented the atomic bomb and they are very concerned about that and the fact that we might use it again, and because the Cosmos is a unity and it affects not just us but other people in the Cosmos, they are very much afraid that we might be stupid enough to start using atomic weapons again, and this would be very bad for us and for them as well.”
Air Force and Navy fighters and remotely piloted aircraft have conducted airstrikes against Islamic State terrorists threatening US facilities and personnel in Iraq as well as thousands of Yazidi refugees trapped on Sinjar Mountain. F-15Es, F-16s, armed MQ-1 RPAs, and Navy F/A-18s have carried out precision strikes. The ISIS now called the Islamic State is threatening terrorist actions against Americans because of the US airstrikes. Successful air strikes have helped Kurdish Pesh Merga’s troops and Iraqi forces to retake the MosulDam in Iraq, a decaying, dangerous and poorly designed structure. If an instantaneous dam failure occurs the City of Mosul, located 50 kilometers [31 miles] downstream would likely be hit by a flood wave over 20 meters [65 feet] deep, which would result in a significant loss of life and property.”…
On August 18, US strike aircraft carried out 15 attacks near the dam, damaging or destroying Islamic State fighting positions, vehicles, and anti-aircraft guns. Although those air strikes have “blunted the advance” of Islamic State in Iraq “they are unlikely to affect their overall progress and gaining additional territory in Iraq. Islamic State forces will likely disperse making the attacks less effective.
. British soldiers were part of the rescue force in the Kurdish region of northern Iraq last week when a huge rescue effort took place for the Yazidi religious minority. But the troops were withdrawn. Prime Minister David Cameron stated “Britain is not going to get involved in another war in Iraq and we are not going to be sending in the British Army.” Mr. Cameron said, “We must put pressure on the Islamic State and make sure this terrorist organization is properly addressed so it cannot cause mayhem on our own streets.” Britain’s defense minister Michael Fallon, told pilots and flight crew at a British base at Akrotiri in Cyprus over the weekend to prepare for continued surveillance “that the campaign against the insurgents would last “weeks and months and was no longer simply a humanitarian affair.”
Reuters reports – Islamic State insurgents released a video on Tuesday showing the beheading of U.S. journalist James Foley, who had gone missing in Syria two years ago. The video with the theme “breaking of the American cross” boasts Islamic State will emerge victorious over “crusader” America. It follows a video posted on Monday warning of attacks on American targets. The latest footage speaks of a holy war between the Islamic State and the United States.
Islamic State’s forces has swept through Northern Iraq, bringing it close to Baghdad and in control of the second city, Mosul. National spokesman for Iraqi Christians and Chaldean-American businessman Mark Arabo said, “The evil being carried out by ISIS militants in Iraq now includes shocking beheadings of children.” “They are systematically beheading children, and mothers and fathers. The world hasn’t seen an evil like this for a generation. There’s actually a park in Mosul that they’ve actually beheaded children and put their heads on a sticks,” Arabo told CNN’s Jonathan Mann.
The video, titled “A Message to America,” was posted on social media sites. It was not immediately possible to verify its authenticity. Foley was kidnapped on Nov. 22, 2012, by unidentified gunmen. Steven Sotloff, who appeared at the end of the video, went missing in northern Syria while he was reporting in July 2013. The man in the mask says: “This is James Wright Foley, an American citizen, of your country. As a government, you have been at the forefront of the aggression towards the Islamic State.Today your military air force is attacking us daily in Iraq. Your strikes have caused casualties amongst Muslims. You are no longer fighting an insurgency. We are an Islamic army and a state that has been accepted by a large number of Muslims worldwide.” Following his statement he beheads the kneeling reporter.
President Barack Obama on Wednesday demanded the world take action against the “cancer” of jihadist extremism in Iraq, after militants murdered an American reporter. CNN reports Islamic State forces rolled into Kojo a Yazidi village near Mt Sinjar and killed 80 men; and a 100 women were taken prisoner and put in Mosul prisons.
There are 860 million Muslims world-wide and it is the world’s fastest growing religion. Pope Francis, has endorsed the use of military force against Islamic State (ISIS), because it is terrorizing civilians, especially Christians, Yazidis, and other religions. http://news.yahoo.com/news-
Adamski Claimed to Have Met Extraterrestrials
In the first chapter of “Inside the Flying Saucers,” George Adamski’s testimony of his meeting with two extraterrestrials while he was sitting in the lobby of a Los Angeles Hotel on February 18, 1953. They told him, “We are what you on Earth might call ‘Contact men.’ We live and work here, because, as you know, it is necessary on Earth to earn money with which to buy clothing, food, and the many things that people must have. We have lived on your planet now for several years. At first we did have a slight accent. But that has been overcome and, as you can see, we are unrecognized as other than Earth men. “At our work and in our leisure time we mingle with people here on Earth, never betraying the secret that we are inhabitants of other worlds. That would be dangerous, as you well know. We understand you people better than most of you know yourselves and can plainly see the reasons for many of the unhappy conditions that surround you.”
Dr. Micheal E. Salla writes, “If Adamski is accurate in his recollections and the extraterrestrials are telling the truth, then it would appear that there could be a significant number of extraterrestrials who are living incognito among the normal population in many if not most major cities on the planet. Upon examining other contactee cases and the testimonies of whistleblowers, it does appear as though this is indeed the case.” These “Human extraterrestrial visitors” have been represented has often having as very attractive physical characteristics, with “Human extraterrestrial females” being described as among the most beautiful women that male observers have witnessed.
A new movie short is under production by Craig Campobasso concerning an ET known as Val Thor who spent four years at the Pentagon who was likely helping with design of UFOs. Thanks to Rense.com

Project Silver Bug Was a Plan for the US to Build UFOs
Jack Picket the editor of military news magazines helped me obtain a 30 page FOIA release on Project Silver Bug that showed the Air Force was developing a disc shaped aircraft in 1955. He had personally seen four of the craft at Mac Dill Air Force Base in 1966, and was asked to release a story concerning these classified aircraft. Later, just prior to publication the article was cut, because a disc was seen flying low over Miami. Jack had personally seen four of the disc shaped aircraft in the disposal area that ranged in size from 25 feet to 125 feet in diameter. The four aircraft were saucers shaped with vertical stabilizers (tails) with AF Experimental written on the craft. He was told there were numerous similar craft flying, but they were unstable and frequently crashed.
This “saucer” designed aircraft was believed to use two to four J58 engines that were also the propulsion system for the SR-71. The SR-71 could fly faster than Mach 3 and was designed in secrecy by a team headed by Clarence L. “Kelly” Johnson, director of Lockheed’s Advanced Development Projects office better known as the ‘Skunk Works’. The existence of the aircraft was not officially revealed until February 29, 1964. Skunk Work’s engineer Ben Rich is quoted as saying, “Some UFOs are ours and some are theirs.”
Project Silver Bug was the research and development project to field jet propelled flying saucers beginning in 1955, that would be dispersed to underground bases to avoid Soviet attack. The disks were capable of vertical takeoffs and landings, and would be capable of Mach 3.48 — faster than the SR-71 Blackbird. In the Project Silver Bug Report, dated Feb. 15, 1955, and declassified on March 29, 1995, he claimed the disk interceptor aircraft would be capable of vertical takeoff and landing; a maximum level speed of 2,300 mph with afterburners; a ceiling of 80,600 feet; and a climb rate of 1.76 minutes to 36,090 feet. The Pratt and Whitney Aircraft Division of United Aircraft Corporation developed the J58 engines that in July 1976, powered an SR-71 to a world altitude record of 85,069 ft. and another to a world speed record of 2,193 mph.
The Report on Project Silver Bug was issued by the Air Technical Intelligence Center along with the Wright Air Development Center at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio. The Silver Bug report noted that a pair of ongoing U.S. projects involving the building of flying saucers had already occurred. The book “The Super Spies”, by Andrew Tully, 1969, claimed these discs were being used as “Saucers with Ears,” that is, for communications intercept missions.
The Silver Bug disc would be capable of vertical takeoff and landing; and performance greater than the SR-71. This performance was far in advance of any aircraft then and is roughly equivalent to the current F- 15 fighter.
The 1955 issue of Look Magazine state that,”New air defense problems were setting up requirements for aircraft performance which would apparently be best met by a saucer aircraft. Runways would not be needed and bases could go underground with tunnels and takeoff shafts set in the ground, complete with maintenance bays, fuel, and crew quarters. Those underground bases, the article said, would be bombproof shelters for a saucer squadron. The shafts would be sealed after takeoff for camouflage and protection.” It is rather obvious that our technology has greatly improved since the late 1950s, and that faster and higher flying aircraft are available to the Air Force. Modern aircraft should exceed 5000 mph and 100,000 feet altitudes. Thanks to FOIA.

Sightings in the United States
Alabama Fuzzy Discs
Munford — In Mt Cheaha State Park, at the end of the rock garden Pulpit Rock trail, on August 10, 2014, looking up the mountain slope I saw two fuzzy looking discs. I was taking pictures of the view, when it flitted around in the sky over the restaurant. Stunned, I watched for 30 seconds before snapping the picture. Both objects streaked away to the north at incredible velocity. The objects were interacting with each other as well as searching for something in the area. Both objects were fuzzy looking, grey in color, but also had sunlight glinting off their surfaces. The objects flew interacting with one another flying a semi grid pattern at unbelievable speed, making right angle turns, stopping and speeding. I was amazed to be witnessing them as both objects shot north fast out of sight. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Arizona Formation of Lights
Clarkdale – On August 18, 2014, we were driving back out of Old Town Cottonwood after dinner, toward the roundabout at the end of SR89A and we noticed a huge formation that looked like a tornado. I was in awe so I started to take pictures with my cell phone. Looking at the images, I saw a huge uniform row of lights that looked like they were at the very bottom of the clouds. They just blew my mind and submit my photos for your testing. Thanks to MUFON CMS
California Disc
Joshua Tree — While attending the Contact in the Desert event I left on August 10, 2014 to eat at the local Sonic drive-thru. As I paid the woman I noticed this dark ball in the sky at 6:38 PM. I knew it wasn’t a bird or aircraft, so I grabbed my cell phone and started filming. I zoomed in to catch the object on film, and the girl at sonic opened her window and I dropped the phone as she talked to me. I watched this small spherical object fly just over the power lines, slowly, but consistently. I noticed a slight aura around the craft as the object rotated. When I was watching it I felt a great sense of calm. After I left the drive thru window I noticed it had greatly descended below the power lines and became camouflaged against the valley’s mountain line. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Joshua Tree – Julio M. Barriere writes, “I had the opportunity of having different witnesses to my fleet of Ufos of the four nights of doing sky watch at the Joshua Tree retreat center which had two thousand people for the contact in the desert event this past weekend of August 8-11, 2014 which had the cast of ancient aliens and great speakers.” I was by Orion lookout doing sky watch for four nights. I had different small parties each night and I was pointing out these Ufos hovering, constantly moving. UFOs follow me around the world. All these witnesses reacted in amazement viewing these crafts hovering and constant movement side to side suspended in the air silently. I ask for names and contact information from these witnesses and also if I had their permission if I could send this report of seeing the disclosure that follows me around the world. They all said yes. I’ll be going to Mt. Shasta and Mt. Adams and also the UFO conference in Toronto. I want to introduce this other world to our world. That’s why I’m traveling to acknowledge these alien beings are here on a peaceful mission. Since these star people follow me around the world I am seeking the truth and I hope that I will have others as well to do this together in seeking the truth. We all live in a very dangerous world. I seen too many star ships pass the fleet of Ufos that follow me in Joshua Tree and also when I went to Mt Adams. There must be many different species of benevolent super beings extraterrestrials visiting our planet.
We must expose the illuminati that control the media. We all have to seek the truth together. I really wanted everyone to know that we are not alone in many universes. We have star people that really care about us and have tried to prevent nuclear war in our past. Julio M. Barriere
Connecticut Flying Saucer Possibly Lands
West Suffield – I was at a friend’s house drinking a little and having a good time on July 29, 2014, when we saw a hovering great orb of light. It remained still for about 30 seconds then suddenly started to jump in random places a half mile radius from its original spot. It was a classic, old sci-fi movie flying saucer with a system of lights around the circular edge. What really freaked me out is when I saw a beam of light coming from the bottom of the craft. It wasn’t light at all and blended with the sky and I could only see the edge of it. Suddenly the beam disappeared and the craft lights flashed starting with one bulb and went around the saucer ending with a single red flash from a bulb. That red flash was the last I saw from the craft as it quickly disappeared. NOTE: The above image is a rendering. Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org
Hawaii Disc
Kona— I was at the beach in, just across the street from the Veteran’s Cemetery, taking pictures of the larger than normal waves on March 1, 2013.
Later when putting the photos on my computer I noticed the UFO in one of the pictures I took.
Please tell me what it is if you can figure it out. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Indiana Orbs
Brownsburg – I was taking Super Moon pictures on August 11, 2014, and thought I saw a shooting star. On the way home looking west I noticed a red orb that I have seen before. I got home got my camera and got one picture of it as it flew over my house headed east. The moon’s light was so bright, that the orb just faded out in the light. Five minutes later I looked straight up, and another one was there so I got six or seven pictures of that one. It went on the same path, and faded out in the moon’s light. It moved too fast for a lantern and too slow for a plane with no blinking lights. When I checked the photo times I couldn’t understand what happened, the first one was taken at 9:44, and the second one was at 10:10 PM. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Minnesota IR Video
Little Falls — I noticed my IR camera monitor was giving off more light than usual and noticed a flying object that didn’t appear to be flying like a bug, bat, or bird, so I hit the record button on July 3, 2014.The video starts after I had observed something I hadn’t seen before for about two minutes. Its erratic flight was certainly odd. Toward the end of the video, there was an object that seemed to follow the path of the first object that flying east. The VHS video shows a perfectly round object without wings or appendages. It has some kind of an aura effect around it with some kind of turbulence. Toward the end of the video, there is a streak of light that passes from right to left that may be the object leaving at a high rate of speed. At 13 seconds into the video, a similar object went across the screen from west to east.Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Hampshire Light
Washington — We were sitting out on the deck ten miles up Lempster Mountain after 9 pm, on July 26, 2014, when one of us noticed an orange/red orb in the southeast sky. We were talking about how clear and quiet it is up there. We all watched and thought it might be a meteor, but it didn’t seem to be moving. We saw it was moving north with two orange/red lights. The front light was bigger and seemed more luminous than the smaller light in the back. The lights were connected by a dull dark shape in the middle. We called three other people to see and now there are seven of us watching these lights flying slowly and silently across the sky. Before the lights were out of our view I took this picture. The whole viewing probably lasted about 3-5 minutes. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New York Light
Falconer
1. My friend was out getting fresh air in front of his house when he observed the strange light on June 15, 2014.
2. The light in the sky was fading and getting extremely bright.
3. He thought the light was an airplane.
4. The light barely moved and became intense in brightness.
5. He was very weird so he took a video. Now he’s out every night looking.
6. He went back into the house to get show the family his video. ‘

North Carolina Orbs
Leland– The night after the full moon on May 13, 2014, I had a small telescope and I was trying to get some good views of the moon. I also had a night vision monocular, a PVS-14 with a 3x magnifier on a tripod with a video camera attached. I was looking through my PVS-7D night vision goggles and noticed a “plane” coming toward me at 5000 feet heading south. I started recording on the PVS-14 and it eventually passed over me completely silent. I noticed that as it passes, I could see stars through the “fuselage” of the triangle shaped craft! It could be adaptive camouflage? There were two circular lights at the rear of the vehicle with a blinking light between them. The light in front was triangular itself, with a small, round light right behind it. I often see planes through night vision goggles and this was low, slow and silent! Without infrared I couldn’t see any of the lights. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Asheville– On August 14, 2014, looking up from my driveway I saw a fiery light approach from the north almost directly over me. As it got closer it got much brighter. There was reddish orange glow about the color of fire that grew brighter and dimmer. I ran inside to get my camera and got a couple good pictures. The object seemed to make a wide, arcing turn towards the east. It seemed to change altitude and come to a stop and hover a couple times. It flew slowly off to the south then seemed to climb and accelerate away out of view, passing close to our local airport. The tower crew and radar should have seen it. The object appeared again and approached at high altitude from the south with strange light effects. Again the object passed right by the airport and made a turn in our direction. It seemed like it slowed to a stop, very close to us. I captured the object with any clarity. About 5 minutes after the object disappeared two fighter jets from Pope overflew us. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Oregon Light
Portland — I was walking home from work I listening to music when I looked up on August 16, 2014,
and saw this bright light it was moving very slow no noise it was a solid red light it was very bright then all of the sudden it disappeared it was very strange.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Pennsylvania Lights
Philadelphia — Sitting in a back yard around 9 pm, I noticed a five glowing objects travel in a line from south to east on August 16, 2014.
Objects were brightly glowing and appeared to be spheres. The sighting was witnessed by a total of six people.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Utah Object
Ouray – On August 2, 2014, I was at work about 30 miles southeast of Ouray and noticed just above the horizon a large black object changing shape.It was changing from a sphere to a birdlike object to a pole like object just to name a few of the shapes.I grabbed my phone and took a couple pictures to the northeast but it seems a little too far away to see well.
I continued watching it changing shapes and then the object went into hundreds of little spheres and just dissipated and scattered in all directions.On August 16th in the east as the sun was coming up I observed a black cigar shaped object traveling from the west to the east. It was much lower than the clouds and became a very bright silvery object when the sun hit it.Thanks to MUFON CMS
Virginia Disc
Waynesboro – My wife, son and I had taken a ride on Skyline Drive, on July 21, 2013, and photographed beautiful scenery facing northwest over the Shenandoah National Forest. I took a series of pictures with our digital camera with an Art Setting to bring out all the colors. The pictures turned out just fine but I never really examined them. After an hour of watching the lights dimmed to a soft white-and then it took off and disappeared.Interestingly enough, while I spotted this object I noticed two other star-like objects moving and turning directions and then stopping to blend in with the constellations as if it was trying to pass off as an average star. On several occasions I have spotted moving star-like objects.Thanks to MUFON CMS
Washington Disc
Lacey — We were at the Regional sports complex next to Nisqually Middle School when the object quickly came out of the clouds and immediately stopped at 5:11 PM in a very small patch of blue sky on August 10, 2014. It was almost as if it was using the clouds as cover. It stayed in the same spot for nearly 18 minutes and then flew away vertically, (literally straight upward) at a speed that is impossible to match for any aircraft today. I first spotted the object when I was reviewing my picture of the sunset. Immediately after taking the picture (Center left in the first picture) after I saw the object in my picture, I scanned the sky and located it. I pointed it out to my friends and several people in the parking lot. All of whom saw the object, and could not understand what it was or what it could be doing. This is my third sighting in the last two weeks. All sightings were from the same location. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Australia Red Lights
Ballarat — At 8:15 pm tonight, 19th August 2014 I witnessed two widely separated red orbs moving silently and in unison through the sky from south to north across the southern side of Ballarat. I called my wife and daughters who also came and witnessed the orbs. Their flight path was straight and they eventually disappeared in the wide spread clouds. They were absolutely silent and if they had been a plane it would’ve had to be very low for the wing tips to be so far apart. Also there were no flashing lights. I’m a geologist with a scientific head but can’t explain this. Thanks to Craig Stevens BSc UFOInfo.com
Bulgaria Light
Peshtera– My friend I were watching the sky and suddenly we saw this fast object that emits light on July 6, 2014. The speed that was high enough to make us watch it. It was like a meteorite and no object was seen just the light that it emits. The form was like a sphere and it was changing directions, the shape of the flight was like a triangle until we lost it in the night sky. I am 14 years old and it was on our minds for a long time. We started talking about it and started looking for it but it was far away. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Canada Orange Dome
Mississauga, Ontario — My husband and I had seen this orange bright light. It lit up a dome shape glow above the light, travelling faster than a plane on July 23, 2014, at 10:05 pm. There was a plane not sure how close they were but I believe the people in the plane may have seen it as well. It was moving from Northwest to South direction. Keep your eyes on the skies. Thanks to UFOinfo.com
India UFO
Purulia Town Krittika More West Bengal– The UFO was bright, shiny, and linear flying horizontally towards rising sun on17th March 2014, at about 6 am..It was very unnatural than any airplane, helicopter etc. It was static for a minute and then slowly moved and after sometime flying off fast from view with variable speed. Three us witnessed the UFO for 7/8 minutes. Thanks to UFOinfo.com
Italy Orb
Mt. Etna—On August 13, 2014, I caught a photo of Etna erupting and you see an object right in the crater where the smoke comes out that is something of a black tip, as if an object is monitoring very closely and half or maybe more, and inside the crater , to exclude birds or insects. Webcam Etna: http://www.guide-etna.com/webcam/
Umbria — I’m Italian and I’m a passionate photographer on July 31, 2014, I was taking photos of the stars on a mountain near my city and just reviewed these photos today. In two of the photos there appears a strange object in the sky composed of 12 lights at two different points. The camera exposure settings I was using was 15 seconds which means nothing can be impressed on the photo unless it stays there steady exactly at that time. What is impressive is that this thing had exactly the same structure with 12 circular lights in two photos.
The camera I used was a Canon 5d mark III with a 35 MM F 2. The lens settings are F4, ISO 1600 and 15 second exposure.
Note: Debunkers will say that the photo represents one light moving in a 15 second time period. NO, this is not an explanation because two photos were taken about one minute apart and both show the line of lights. Both photos were taken with a 15 second exposure. A digital zoom setting was used in the second photo. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com
Japan Moving Lights
Hokkaido — My name is Yuji Mashiko, I am a UFO researcher, author and translator and conducted a camping trip at Tokachidake Mountain area which has been famous for UFO sightings, and videotaped UFO flying with zigzag motion at a high speed. The Japanese news agencies put them on their YouTube account and on National UFO Reporting Center. This video was taken at 23:26 p.m. on June 24, 2014 at the camping site near Mt. Tokachidake, an active volcano, which has been famous for UFO sightings for decades. You can see a bright object soaring horizontally across the sky from the east to the south. I fixed my camera position and the zigzag motion of the object was not because of camera shake. The temperature was too cold for flying insects. It was a dark moonless night my small digital camera (CASIO EX-H10) could not catch any starlight. About one and half hours before I saw UFO, I saw a long-haired young tall slender lady in white clothes with black hair that suddenly disappeared while looking at Tokachidake Mountains where the UFO later appeared.
Earlier in the year on February 25, 2014, when I was on the beach of Kamakura I saw another mysterious young gentleman who suddenly disappeared before a large green disk-UFO that circled over my head and flew away. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Namibia Pointy Shaped
Oranjemund– My name is Marius du plessis and I was driving from Portnolloth (Northern Cape) 35 km to Alexander bay when I saw ufo activity on August 16, 2014. It was pointy shaped with a white and blue light behind it and as it passed it gave a blast like a nitro boost or warp speed and was gone. At first I thought it was a shooting star but I have never seen it blast and pick up speed and was gone. Thanks to UFOinfo.com
Peru Cigar
I decided to go out to the garden on July 27, 2014, and saw this object above the mountains in the form of cigar that had three lights that seemed to come out of their windows.
I called my brother and mom, but a flickering light from the object in the form of cigar appeared in the mountains. The lights of the cigar climbed up higher in the mountains where nobody lives. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Turkey Object
Istanbul— I was with a friend making a photo tour near to the blue Mosque around 3.30 pm, on August 16, 2014, when I looked across to the mosque to see an object directly above it. The object was moving about the same speed as a high level airline at 30,000 feet. My friend could also see it and we both immediately agreed it was no plane. We watched it continue to move for three seconds before I raised my camera and zoomed in my 135 mm lens. I got a sharply focused picture and when I tried to take more pictures the object vanished. It was definitely a metallic sphere that might be a drone but it vanished so quickly this is doubtful. Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK Sightings
Colwyn Bay — Whilst out walking on the beach at Llanddulas at 7 am and watched some diving sea birds on August 16, 2014, I saw a weird solid structure. It was in the sky above the birds and moved slowly south towards the beach. It was very solid and metal looking. I quickly grabbed my mobile phone and took a picture as it turned east. It had a pair of dipped wings or something hanging down from it on each side, but it was also a bit pointed at the front. It made a slight humming sound and it had white and blue lights that seemed to glow or pulsate.
As it turned to the East they changed to a yellow and moved down the coastline and seemed to change shape slightly and disappeared. I am familiar with aircraft and this was no helicopter or fixed wing craft! Thanks to MUFON CMS
Brixham – Iwas having a meal outside on the balcony of the Breakwater Bistro, on July 31, 2014, when I noticed a vertical rainbow effect in the sky, so I took a photograph. I noticed a dark shape appear so I took another picture. I first thought the dark object was a small cloud, but there are no other dark clouds in the sky, and it had a strange shape. The sun was off to the right. It didn’t feel right and I joked about the cloud being a UFO to my husband. The object disappeared. I was watching it intermittently over around 10 minutes. We did not tell others as we were in a restaurant and hubby said it was a black cloud.Thanks to MUFON CMS
Scotland Light
Edinburgh News states, “The oddly-shaped light in the sky was captured by Catherine Stuart and her mother Susan on August 9, 2014, who were in the queue for Saturday’s late-night Tattoo, just before 10.30 pm. Ms Stuart, who lives in London, said she had no explanation for the strange apparition, which disappeared soon after they photographed it. The 31-year-old said she thought the “weird” object was a bird at first. She added: “It was very strange to see because when we looked at it again it didn’t look like a bird.“ It was hovering around and then it disappeared. It was a weird shape, like a square light. I have no idea what it was.” Source: http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/tattoo-guests-spot-ufo-over-edinburgh Edinburgh -castle-1-3505970

Raposa Serra do Sol — An unidentified flying object (UFO) was spotted in the city of Uiramutã located within the Raposa Serra do Sol in Roraima northern sky on July 12, 2014. The record was made by landscape Tetsuia Eda, 42, the last day at 2:14 pm. The photo records a gray oval object moving through the clouds. “I was next to a waterfall and took the photo with a camera phone. The sky was totally clean,” said Eda. “Just saw the object when I showed the picture to a friend. He showed me and I was surprised,” he said. According to the physicist of the Federal University of Roraima (UFRR), who examined the photographs, Miguel Campos, it is not possible to confirm the presence of a UFO in the photo.

Glowing UFO over Ocean Isle, North Carolina on 17th August 2014
Glowing UFO over Ocean Isle, North Carolina on 17th August 2014
New interesting video footage of a bright glowing UFO sighting recorded in the night sky above Ocean Isle, North Carolina on 17th August2014 and reported in local TV news.
Witness said: I was on the beach at low tide in Gig Harbor WA (Forest Beach Drive), on Monday, August 11, 2014 around noon with my children and grandchildren. I was photographing everyone catching crabs and star fish and looking at shells on the beach. I just decided to take a picture of the horizon and the lovely scenery. I did not see anything unusual with my eyes, nor did I see anything but the scenery through the camera lens. No one with me noticed anything unusual in the sky.
However, when I downloaded the photos later that day I saw the round yellow object in four sequential (rapid shot) photos and the object was in a different position in each one. I am not saying it’s a UFO, but everyone who has seen the photos says it has to be. The object was too far from land on either side of the Bay to have been a frisbee or a remote control plane. When I zoomed in close on the computer, the object definitely “looks” like a UFO with a little bulge on the top and what looks like a row of windows — although I’m sure it could be any number of things. I was standing on the west facing beach, looking out over Hales Passage (part of Puget Sound). The four photos were taken at 12:04:18.
Witness said: While camping in Algonquin Park on 2014-08-20 with my wife. At around 1:30 am. We saw these strange lights in the sky over ” Lake of Two Rivers ” Southern Sky. These lights weren’t there the night before and they weren’t there the next day. It seemed to us like they were just hovering there. Not sure what they were. So I caught it on video and thought I would share.
Piloten zien mysterieuze rode gloed boven Grote Oceaan
Piloten zien mysterieuze rode gloed boven Grote Oceaan
Twee piloten hebben tijdens hun vlucht van Hong Kong naar Anchorage in Alaska een mysterieuze rode gloed gezien boven de Grote Oceaan. De vreemde lichten zijn gespot ten zuiden van het Russische schiereiland Kamtsjatka.
Hoewel er nog geen eenduidige verklaring is gegeven, wordt gedacht dat de gloed te maken heeft met de explosie van een enorme vulkaan onder het wateroppervlak.
Op PBase vertelt de Nederlandse piloot JPC van Heijst hoe hij halverwege de vlucht in de verte een felle bliksemflits zag. De flits werd 20 minuten later gevolgd door een oranjerode gloed. Van Heijst was nogal verontrust. Hij zei tijdens zijn vliegcarrière nog nooit zoiets engs te hebben meegemaakt.
Er waren rond Kamtsjatka geen onweersbuien te zien, wat erop wijst dat de bliksem niet werd veroorzaakt door onweerswolken. De gloed is ook een mysterie. Soortgelijke lichten worden wel eens gezien op boten die op inktvis vissen, maar volgens Van Heijst zou je dergelijke boten niet in dat gebied verwachten.
“Hoe dichter we in de buurt kwamen, hoe feller de gloed werd,” schreef Van Heijst. “De gloed verlichtte de wolken en lucht onder ons op een angstaanjagende manier, in een deel van de wereld waar normaal gesproken alleen maar water zou moeten zijn.”
Hij kon maar één mogelijke verklaring bedenken: een enorme onderwatervulkaan die 30 minuten eerder was uitgebarsten. Van Heijst was bang dat hij midden in de nacht in een aswolk terecht zou komen, maar dat gebeurde niet.
Van Heijst en zijn copiloot voelden zich alles behalve op hun gemak. Er waren verder geen vliegtuigen in de buurt. De waarneming werd doorgegeven aan de luchtverkeersleiding, die inmiddels een onderzoek heeft ingesteld.
Als er door de uitbarsting een nieuw eiland is gevormd, hoopt Van Heijst dat het naar hem wordt vernoemd. “Dat zou best wel cool zijn!”
Witness said: After doing my summon in my back garden 10 minutes later this object past by it was a really bright object and there where no details apart from what looked like like a row of orbs!!
Witness said: This UFO sighting was filmed during night in Germany on August 19, 2014. Extraordinary and undeniable real UFO activity. UFO hovers, then “darts” off and reappears across the sky before vanishing, focus on 0:30 and 0:38.
Five scary creatures, monsters and beings that might visit you tonight, from malevolent shadow people to curious aliens.
Locking your bedroom door won’t help… Presenting five terrifying creatures, monsters and aliens that prefer to visit at night, including shadow people, the shadowman and the Hat Man; the mare, alp and nightmare demons of folklore; machine elves and clockwork elves; the horrifying Cherokee witch / wizard known as the Raven Mocker; and of course extraterrestrial aliens visitors. Some have been caught on tape, but are they real or caused by disorders like sleep paralysis and fueled by scary stories and creepypasta?
1. Shadow People
A shadow person (also known as a shadow figure, shadow being or black mass) is the perception of a patch of shadow as a living, humanoid figure, particularly as interpreted by believers in the supernatural as the presence of a malevolent entity.
The Coast to Coast AM late night radio talk show helped popularize modern beliefs in shadow people. The first time the topic of shadow people was discussed at length on the show was April 12, 2001 when host Art Bell interviewed Thunder Strikes. During the show, listeners were encouraged to submit drawings of shadow people that they had seen and a large number of these drawings were immediately shared publicly on the website. Later that year, on October 1, 2001, Heidi Hollis published a book on the topic of shadow people.
The Raven Mocker, or ka’lanu ahkyeli’ski, is an evil being from Cherokee mythology who robs the old, sick and dying of their lives. Normally appearing as old, withered men and women, when they hunt a victim they take to the air in a fiery shape, and with the sounds of a raven’s cry and a strong wind. After tormenting and killing their victim by slitting the victim’s head they consume his heart (doing so without leaving a mark on the victim’s skin), and add a year to their life for every year that the slain would have still lived. Much like a banshee, the sound of a raven mocker means that someone will soon die.
Raven mockers are normally invisible when feeding, but those with strong medicine can not only spot them but cause them to die within seven days. Medicine men will sometimes stand guard over the dying to prevent raven mockers from stealing the heart of the afflicted.
Raven mockers are feared and envied by the other witches of Cherokee folklore, and their bodies may be abused by said witches after death. He is the Angel of Death in such a way he was menacing.
3. MARE
A mare or nightmare is an evil spirit or goblin in Germanic folklore which rides on people’s chests while they sleep, bringing on bad dreams (or “nightmares”). The mare is often similar to the mythical creatures succubus and incubus, and was likely inspired by sleep paralysis.
Machine elves are faceless multi-dimensional beings that appear machine like.
5. ALIENS
The terms alien abduction or abduction phenomenon describe “subjectively real memories of being taken secretly against one’s will by apparently nonhuman entities and subjected to complex physical and psychological procedures”.[ People claiming to have been abducted are usually called "abductees" or "experiencers".
Due to a paucity of objective physical evidence, most scientists and mental health professionals dismiss the phenomenon as "deception, suggestibility (fantasy-proneness, hypnotizability, false memory syndrome), personality, sleep paralysis, psychopathology, psychodynamics [and] environmental factors”. Skeptic Robert Sheaffer sees similarity between the aliens depicted in early science fiction films, in particular, Invaders From Mars, and some of those reported to have actually abducted people.
The bizarre clip shows a bright, white object hurtle past the camera at some speed….but what could it be?
This extraordinary video shows the moment a UFO whizzes down a darkened road on an industrial complex.
The 46 second CCTV clip, uploaded on YouTube, shows a bright, white object hurtling through the air at breakneck pace on an industrial site in Prokopyevsky, Russia.
The eerie clip video has been watched more than 38,000 times and has attracted no fewer than 56 comments from Ufologists, all eager to try to explain the bizarre phenomenon.
A poster known as Russell Davies from Shropshire is among them.
He wrote: “I see up to 12 of these a day in Shrewsbury UK, you can call them, they respond to telepathic communication.
“They generally appear at night in order to evade detection by a paranoid and largely hostile military.
“They are probes sent out from ET mother-ships, and are here simply to catalogue the state of the biosphere-earth and even to monitir human emotions, as well as behaviour.”
Another poster, Sean Boice, wrote: “Two years ago, my friends and I saw a orb like this, it moved left and right real quick, was egg shaped, and had colors like plasma all over it.
“About 20 minutes into watching it, two fighter jets flew over with a third one joining them in formation, then flew towards the orbs, did a circle, and then left.”
Michael Tellinger shows off what could be one of the best pieces of evidence that there were giants on Earth a long, long time ago. Geologists have marvelled at this giant foot print in rough granite, about 4 feet long. Some still say that it is a natural erosion pattern.
Personally I find that suggestion highy improbable for various reasons that I will not go into here. Prof. Pieter Wagener from UPE, suggests that “there is a higher probability of little green men arriving from space and licking it out with their tongues, than being created by natural erosion”.
It is located in South Africa, near the town of Mpaluzi, close to the Swaziland border. It is estimated to be between 200 million and 3 Billion years old because of our current understanding of the formation of granites in Earth’s history. This dating immediately causes great debate and argument – so I urge you to keep your mind open and focused on the evidence.
This amazing footprint in granite was discovered in 1912 by a hunter called Stoffel Coetzee, while hunting in the remote area. At the time this was a deeply remote part of South Africa known as the Eastern Transvaal, teeming with wild life, including antelope and lions. It remains in the same condition as it was when first discovered and the possibility that this was a carved hoax is extremely low because of its remote location. Even today, it is difficult to find.
The real mystery is how this amazing phenomenon occured – I have no idea – but here it is and we cannot wish it away.
YES – It is granite – it is a well recognised geological part of South Africa and recorded on all geological maps – that is why this footprint is such an incredible mystery. It can be desribed as a “phenocrystic” granite, OR coarse porphyritic granite, that underwent several different stages of cooling. The result being an interesting mixture of large and small granules. This is why granite companies are keen to mine this area for granite because it will look really “pretty” when polished. In the official Geology Of South Africa, this outcrop is called Mpuluzi Batholith (Granite) and the official dating of this rock produced dates of around 3,1 billion years.
A real mystery that needs close scientific examination.
Project HIBAL - the answer to Westall? - files destroyed
Hi all, Introduction: A research project I conducted a little while ago, concerned Project HIBAL, which launched high altitude balloons from 1960 onwards from Mildura, and several other Australian locations. In previous posts, I provided details of the HIBAL program, and suggested these very large balloons might explain some UAP sightings from that era. In addition, while conducting a cold case investigation of the 6 April 1966, Westall case, I began to look for a Project which involved the former Australian Department of Supply (DOS) (Westall researcher Shane Ryan was contacted by the family of a former DOS employee who maintained their father knew the solution to Westall); the American government (some Westall witnesses reported people wearing what some professionals have described as American uniforms); a light aircraft (Westall witnesses maintained several light aircraft circled the UAP); and some form of flying object, which could have come down near Westall High School. This cold case investigation brought me right back to Project HIBAL! These very large balloons lifted a heavy payload high above the Earth. A "chase" aircraft followed each flight, and "cut down" the balloon via radio signal. The payload (weighing about 200kgs) then dropped to Earth, below a 12m diameter parachute, taking an hour to get to the ground. The balloon went on to land elsewhere. Chase vehicles with DOS personnel then retrieved the payload.
Balloons on the loose: HIBAL flights in 1966 were launched from Mildura, and some payloads were retrieved as far away as the Eyre Peninsular in South Australia; Nowra, NSW; Canberra, ACT; and close to Melbourne (in August 1966.) My research unearthed previously unseen Bureau of Meteorology and Department of External Affairs files, in the National Archives of Australia. I also located and interviewed five former DOS employees, who had all worked on the HIBAL program.
A working hypothesis: As a result of my intensive research, I developed a working hypothesis. In summary, it was "Could a Project HIBAL balloon's payload and 12 metre parachute, and subsequent retrieval of the payload by a ground crew, have caused the Westall incident?" There was a HIBAL balloon scheduled for launch on 5 April 1966, flight 292 of the series. Flights were quite often delayed by a day due to too strong winds on proposed launch dates. The Westall incident occurred on 6 April 1966. As part of my research, I located the logbook of the pilot of the chase plane (now deceased). Strangely, there was a logbook entry for flight 291 and one for flight 293, but no entry for flight 292!
Files: I located a National Archives of Australia file series on RecordSearch, namely MP1472/25, which was a series held by the Controller of the Section of DOS, responsible for the Department's part of the joint US Atomic Energy Commission (the American connection I was after) and DOS HIBAL program. From the Bureau of Meteorology HIBAL files I had a DOS HIBAL program file reference, so I knew that the MP1472/25 file series held the DOS HIBAL files. I inquired at the National Archives of Australia (NAA) about the present location of the file series MP1472/25? The recent NAA response to me informed me that the file series "...was destroyed by the controlling agency CA46 Department of Defence in 1996. There are no item lists for this series in our finding records." So, any hope of finding official information on flight 292, and where it came to ground, from DOS files, is gone.
Formeremployees: In addition, none of the former Department of Supply employees I interviewed was able to tell me what happened to flight 292. I posed the question, could the 5 April 1966 payload have come down in Melbourne, to one of the former DOS employees, who sometimes flew in the chase plane. His response was that he wouldn't be surprised if one had! So, unfortunately, I now have no way of testing my hypothesis that the 6 April 1966 Westall incident was caused by the landing and retrieval of the payload of HIBAL flight 292. I must, for the sake of transparency, let blog readers know that I have provided details of my HIBAL hypothesis to key Westall researcher, Shane Ryan, who does not support the hypothesis. I have also provided details to Westall documentary film maker Rosie Jones, and she doubts that it is the answer to the Westall incident. I welcome comments from blog readers, particularly former DOS employees or their families; or former members of the US Atomic Energy Commission HIBAL program; or indeed any of the Australian "official" Westall investigation team, which Westall witnesses report "silenced" witnesses to the event.
There are many accounts of supernatural human beings throughout ancient history. Might these “superheroes” actually be otherworldly beings that visited Earth? Could these beings have inspired the modern superhero? Marvel superhero hero Thor is derived straight from the legends of ancient Norse mythology, but where did ancient Scandinavians find the inspiration for Thor and other Norse gods? Could the answer lie with Ancient Aliens? Ancient Aliens is an American television series on the History channel. The program presents hypotheses of ancient astronauts and proposes that historical texts, archaeology and legends contain evidence of past human-extraterrestrial contact.
CRASHED ALIEN DISC AND HITLER’S SS SUMMER 1937 ……. CZERNICA GERMANY [ NOW TERRITORY OF POLAND ]
“A multicolored ball or globe-shaped UFO was seen to fall in a field (or near a field) belonging to Eva Braun’s parents (this was the future mistress of Adolph Hitler) The area was cordoned off by SS-troops from the town of Jelenia Gora (called Hirschberg at the time).” “The crashed disk was transported to the Hirschberg SS base and kept under very strong guard and super top security. The disk was 7.6 meter in diameter and 3.8 meters high. It consisted of a large “overwhelming” dome, encircled by a narrow outer rim, and smaller flat dome on the bottom with a flat lower section. The top of the dome was also flat and large. The craft had 6 oval-shaped structures resembling portholes but not transparent, or devices that radiated some type of light, located near the base of the upper dome. On the lower surface of the outer rim the craft had 12 lights. The color of the disk was a dull metal gray. There was an insignia on the dome resembling the letter “T” with 2 props on its sides. The entrance into the disk was found on the top of the upper dome. The general shape of the disk resembled that of a German soldier’s helmet with a small protrusion on the bottom.” “Inside the circular cabin were 3 small seats, there were control panels around the dome and 3 alien beings were found: one was dead, the other two were alive. One of the live aliens died soon after the crash, and the second live alien remained in custody for about 1.5 months and then died. The aliens were small dwarfs, about 0.9-1.0m in height, with large hairless pear-shaped heads, small dystrophic looking bodies, long narrow hands with 4 fingers, grayish skin and large dark slanted eyes.” “The Germans were afraid to move the disk to a more distant location, out of apprehension that it might explode during a long trip during transportation. So, a research laboratory had to be constructed nearby. From Hirschberg the disk was removed to a more secured underground location, which most likely, was called “Der Riese” a Nazi complex in the nearby Gory Sowie mountains (now in southwest Poland), which was also a site being used for excavating for uranium ore. This complex had an extensive network of underground hangars, connected by tunnels. The bodies of the occupants and the living extraterrestrial were also moved into this complex. The alien that lived for a little bit over a month apparently supplied the Germans with some type of information and was desperately asking the Nazi medical doctors for help, but they could not help him because of the different biological structure of his body. The alien died from an unknown illness.” “The origin of the crashed craft was apparently the double star system RA known on earth as 78 mu-1, Cygni, 73.1 light years in distance. Among the information given to the Germans by the surviving alien was that they had built underground bases in the polar region of the Canadian Northern Territories maybe Baffin Island. This data was supplied to Adolph Hitler himself. But no substantial technical data was in fact provided by the alien that could had help Nazi scientists to cope with the alien technology, despite their desperate attempt to obtain such data. The surviving alien also informed the Germans that the crashed was caused by some kind of technical malfunction. The alien was kept and interrogated at the same underground installation as the disk.” “Adolph Hitler and some other top Nazi figures including Werner Von Braun and Air Marshall Hermann Goring inspected the crashed disk, the alien bodies and consulted Nazi scientists in an attempt to use the object as a super secret weapon. Among those scientist involved in investigating the crashed disc were, Max Von Laue, Otto Hahn (who discovered nuclear fusion) and Werner Heisenberg. Fortunately (and unfortunately for the Nazis) the alien technology was extremely sophisticated and difficult to understand. The disc indeed inspired some Nazi scientists to construct different models of disc-shaped planes and the so-called flying bombs.” “This crash and possession of the extraterrestrial spacecraft was one of the factors that possibly inspired Hitler with extreme self-confidence to start World War II, hoping to use the craft as a sort of super weapon that would eventually help him conquer the world. Because of the approaching Soviet troops the whole underground complex was blown up, and the disk and the alien bodies was buried in one of the underground tunnels, the entrance was sealed with numerous huge rocks. It is apparently still there, unbeknownst to the Polish Government. The disk apparently still emanates radiation from its power plant, but because of the nearby uranium mines this source of radiation remains undetected.”
(N.Morgan) The ancient Greek tomb of Amphipolis has sparked intense interest recently due to the large burial mound found beneath it and it has captured the imagination of the public and the archeology world alike. The public is now imploring local politicians to begin tours of the ancient, beautiful site. The Culture Ministry appealed Thursday for “understanding” while the Amphipolis excavation proceeds. The partially uncovered tomb from the end of Greek warrior-king Alexander the Great’s reign, which was found inside the mound, has sparked intense media interest amid wild speculation that it may contain rich treasures or the bones of an ancient celebrity. Alexander inherited the throne of Macedonia, in northern Greece, from where he set off to conquer a vast empire reaching India. He died in 323 B.C. at age 33 and was buried in Egypt – although the precise location of his grave is one of the enduring mysteries of archaeology. Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras has already visited the Amphipolis excavation and state TV daily leads news bulletins with incremental developments about the dig.
So far, archaeologists have uncovered part of the late 4th-century B.C. tomb’s entrance, which has two large marble sphinxes placed on a lintel just under the barrel-vaulted roof. Underneath lies the doorway, still covered in earth, with traces of painted plaster decoration. “It’s astonishing, the biggest tomb we have found in Greece so far,” said archaeologist Chryssoula Paliadelli, an expert on the period who is not involved in the excavation. “It clearly shows the wealth that allowed construction of what was, at the time, a hugely costly monument.” But the tomb may well have been looted hundreds and hundreds of years ago. Part of a stone wall that blocked off the subterranean entrance is missing, while the sphinxes – originally two meters (6 feet) high – lack heads and wings. Near the sphinxes, excavators have found fragments of a large marble lion that originally capped the mound, which indicates the site was severely damaged and dug up in later antiquity.
Nobody knows yet who the mound was built for. Alexander’s mother, widow, son, brother and sister-in-law were all murdered in separate attacks in the Amphipolis area during the brutal power struggles that followed his death. However, Macedonian royals were traditionally buried at Aegae, further to the west, where rich, unplundered graves excavated in the late 1970s have been identified as those of Alexander’s father, Philip II, and a slain son. Older research has tentatively linked the lion statue, which was removed during Roman times and discovered a century ago some 5 kilometers (3 miles) away, with Laomedon, one of Alexander’s military commanders; his admiral, Nearchos, was a citizen of Amphipolis. “It’s all speculation until we see the inside (of the tomb)” said Michalis Tiverios, a professor of archaeology at the University of Thessaloniki. The excavation is expected to last at least another few weeks.
What are cylinder or cigar shaped UFO’s? These flying enigmas have baffled mankind for at least several centuries. They lack any obvious aerodynamic features such as wings and stabilizers to keep them aloft. Yet they perform incredible manoeuvres at speed that our best pilots can not duplicate.
What technology is behind the propulsion and guidance systems of these elongated craft?
What kind of mind designs them? Are they our invention? A product of runaway black projects with nearly unlimited budgets.
Eight beachcombers thought fame & fortune awaited them when they found a monstrous carcass washed ashore near Palermo, Italy, July 2,1989. “It was at least 100ft long, snake-like, & had a huge head & a wide mouth full of vicious, needle-like teeth.”
Excitement turned sour when “military types showed up, confiscated our cameras & made us leave.” Later, no trace of it could be found, & nothing appeared in the media. This pic is the only apparent survivor.
Where do I even start? I’m exhausted, I have bags under my eyes and I feel like I’m about to fall over. Last night my roommate went out around 8PM with a guy, and I climbed up to bed at 10PM, making sure I locked the front and back doors. I did my ritual, and got situated in bed, then I heard the bathroom door downstairs close. I figured my roommate was home so I brushed it off, then I heard a soft voice say “no” and heavy footsteps on the bottom of the stairs…. So I texted her, asking if she was home. Then the footsteps were in my hall and I could hear the voice again, “no, no, no” over and over again, it sounded like a little kid. I texted her two more times before I got a response, that kept me up and watching my door for my life. She wasn’t home….. The heavy footsteps came to my door around 11, and I could hear a faint scratching, followed by a whispering child’s voice, “no, no, no” I flipped the f**k out then, hid under my blanket like a child and cuddled with my cat…. Her tail was bushed up, as if she angry….
Sure enough daylight broke and the noises stopped, I looked out Ito the hall…. Her door was closed when I went to bed last night…. It’s wide open… Now she’s sending me weird messages…. Saying it’s a spirit from her dreams… I didn’t know how to respond when she said no…. So I waited til this morning to reply….
GLASTONBURY, CT — It was a creature that let out “blood curdling yells at night.” It was described as witnesses who saw it as a large dog with a cat-like face. Small dogs disappeared or were found mutilated along with goats and sheep.
And so the legend of the “Glastonbury Glawackus” began.
It was the middle of a cold, snowy winter in 1939 when The Hartford Courant ran a story of a hunting party that went into the wilds of Glastonbury in search of the creature. It was a headline writer’s dream as the newspaper’s front page read: “Guffaws of Glastonbury Glawackus Greet Gloomy Gang Of Gunners.” The search party turned up nothing.
“The Glawackus was still loose in the snow-covered hills of Glastonbury Tuesday night, victor over the wiles of the best huntsmen in these parts,” read the January 18, 1939 article. “Until they’re sure, the scientific term Glawackus will be used. The name come from Glastonbury, its habitat, and from wacky, to describe the way everyone feels about the whole thing. The ending makes it sound Latin and authentic.”
The Courant printed a map showing the area of the three big Glawackus hunts and pinpointing bits of “Glawackiana” – areas where dogs and other domestic animals killed or mauled; areas Glawackus heard howling; areas where Glawackus was seen and “dogs chased something” locations.
The sightings and hunts were confined to the wilderness portion of southern and eastern parts of town. Some believed the creature was a mountain lion that escaped from a Manchester, Vermont zoo after the great hurricane of 1938.
“Because the animal is out of its native habitat, the animal is probably restless,” warden Charles Allshouse said. “and might move on and be reported some distance away in a short time. However, it will probably stay around as long as there are enough rabbits to meet the needs of a mountain lion’s appetite.”
Others thought the creature may be a lynx.
“I never saw a glawackus,” said a New Britain policeman in a Jan. 23 article. “but I’ll bet that animal over there in Glastonbury isn’t one. I’ll bet it’s a lynx. Four years ago there were two lynx off here in the Pinnacle Mountains. They were mates and nobody caught or killed them. They can have a whole family around these parts by now.”
The lone hunter to see the creature was Hartfordite William F. Bonvouloir in the wilderness near Diamond Lake when a “beautiful black creature about three feet long with a tail two feet long leap out of the scrubwood in front of them.”
“Bonvouloir brought up his shotgun and cut loose with the right barrel,” according to the Courant article. “The 12-gauge charge bit into a rotted tree stump as the startled cat began zipzagging through the underbrush.” A second shot misfired as the cat “kicked back sprays of snow as it fled into a stretch of green cedars.”
But once a legend is born, it was hard to resist the pull of a myth. There was a community dance called the Glawackus Ball. An article ran about children making a Glawackus-man in the snow. Hunting clubs made Glawackus targets for members to shoot. Even local poets were inspired.
“The Glastonbury ‘lion,’
Or wildcat, where is he?
Perhaps it’s some poor tabby
Now hiding in a tree.
But if the great safari
Its big game could not stalk,
Through wood and open landscape,
It had a lovely walk.”
The fervor began to die down when a large brown dog was killed in July by hunters. The headline from July 7, 1939 read “Mysterious Glawackus Is No More.” The dog was taken in a baited bear trap, shot and buried in an unmarked grave.
“In a few days the beast was caught and bullets ended its suffering,” read the article. “A few persons witnessed the incident and they decided to bury the animal and say no more about it.”
“After that, Glawackus was seen no more and, one by one,” read a 1958 article marking the 20th anniversary, “Glawackus men admitted that the dog probably was the terrible monster – well, maybe, perhaps. Still others waited until Middletown farmers one night reported seeing a “strange beast passing through. That, they said, must have been him.”
The bottom line? The legend of the Glawackus sold newspapers and brought some excitement to a sleepy town during a long winter.
“It relieved the monotony of a dreary winter,” a July 8 editorial noted. “It provided small talk for uncounted dinner tables just as the subject of the hurricane began to pall. It got any number of ordinarily slothful individuals into the open air…Now it is dead, but if one knows Glastonbury, it will rise again. It was too useful to remain long buried.” – Courant
An unexplained sound has permeated the water from one end of the Pacific to the other since 1991. What could it be?
It isn’t whales or ship vibrations or any of the other usual suspects making this noise in the ocean. In 1991, scientists first detected what has become known as the Upsweep.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) describes Upsweep: “It consists of a long train of narrow-band upsweeping sounds of several seconds duration each.” It’s been detected from one end of the Pacific to the other, a huge range.
The US Navy had never seen this signal before in its decades of listening under the waves, according to a 2002 New Scientist article. Upsweep was heard straight across the Pacific, ruling out certain localized or small-scale sources.
The sound persisted, with a peak in strength in 1994. Since then, it has been subsiding, though it remains audible, reports the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). It seems to peak in the spring and fall. This could be related to the source of the sound, or it may simply be that the sound travels better in the aquatic environment at these times for whatever reason, says NOAA.
The sound is uniform overall, unlike the varied sounds of most volcanic activity and unlike the varied intonations of whale communications. But Emile Okal of Northwestern University in Chicago and Jacques Talandier, formerly with the French Atomic Energy Agency, suggested a particular type of volcanic activity that may be the cause.
In 1996, they hypothesized that it may be the sound of seawater coming into contact with a large pool of lava, explained New Scientist. They used seismometers to trace where the sound may be coming from, concluding that it may originate in the remote southern Pacific. NOAA states that the source may be in this region, at the location of inferred volcanic seismicity. “But,” notes NOAA, “the origin of the sound is unresolved.”
Another theory was explained by Christopher Fox, who studied the sounds as director of NOAA’s acoustic monitoring project. The movement of water can make noise like the movement of wind and currents may be responsible.
Until the mystery is solved, many theories will continue to be excite human curiosity—could it be an unknown species of sea creature? Could it be a geological oddity or undiscovered phenomenon? Some explanations are more likely than others, but with 95 percent of the world’s oceans unexplored by humans, the possibility of discovering something new is ever-present.
Mysterious noises of the deep have perplexed scientists before, but were eventually explained. For example, the Bloop was a loud, ultra-low frequency sound heard in 1997 across some 3,000 miles of the Pacific. NOAA later discovered that it was the sound of an icequake created by the cracking and melting of sea ice and the calving of glaciers. Find the audio files at The Epoch Times
PHOTO OF A STRANGE CRAFT OVER CANADA Oshawa, Canada – 07-17-14
Today on Thursday while outside on our deck at home, I had this feeling once again inside me. Even a premonition to even get my wife’s glasses from inside the house. Reason being so I could point out another UFO to her should I spot one. Suppose being on holidays can do that to a person on a nice day? While chatting with her her about twenty minutes facing west, I looked up and was shocked once again or least surprised. Up very high, I could see something strange moving from the west to east; maybe three to five thousand feet – moving very slowly – 20- 30 mph ? It appeared to be best described as a long, white unidentified flying object. As I watched to confirm its presence nearly moving towards above our home, bringing attention to my wife saying, ‘ look another UFO up there.‘
Almost sticking out like a sore thumb – glistening white and also appearing to change shape. She replied hardly looking up, ‘It’s probably the moon,’ and looked back down on her phone. With that answer confirmed – of a closed-minded result confirmation, I then snapped away trying to capture this long, white type of UFO. It did appear to intensely glisten as it was nearly over the house – the sun rays reflection I suspect.
After taking 15 pictures trying to capture it on film for two minutes, only to capture the best of it on six pictures in the bunch, 11:33-11:35, I had lost sight of object travelling directly over the house heading east. I then raced to the backyard to further view it. Now I had further lost sight of it from the backyard, looking around for three – four minutes blocking the sun with the house, I noticed this small brilliant white ‘very‘ high/fast Lear jet type come across from the south heading north’ I mean fast.
Though has not been the first time seeing that type of aircraft before or after a UFO sighting in memory. Honesty once again in the truth of this matter, all of this started from a thought to witness this bizarre sighting above. So I can only conclude there is a form of contact being observed here. Added to the photographic evidence giving confirmation of something high above deemed as totally unknown and bizarre. There appears to be different shapes in the mix photographed here in southwest Oshawa near Lake Ontario. This has been my fifth daylight UFO sighting for 2014; close to equal number of night timers in stats. One cannot dismiss these facts when looking up that something is up above us ALL.

At some point near 5400 BCE, settlers in southern Mesopotamia—in what would now be called southeastern Iraq—founded Eridu, which historians now generally regard as the world’s first city. It had all the things we ordinarily associate with an ancient city: temples, administrative buildings, housing, agriculture, markets, art, and, of course, walls to keep out wild animals and bandits.
But here’s the funny thing: we have absolutely no idea where the Sumerians acquired their language, or what they might have looked like. Their language, which we call Sumerian, was a linguistic isolate—it’s the oldest known written language on Earth, and any languages it might have derived from or developed alongside have been lost to time. The Sumerian people were also, it can be reasoned, ethnically isolated; referring to themselves as the sag gigga (“black-headed people”), they appear to have had no concept of race. And figuring out what their ethnic identity might have been based on their art is a doomed effort, because their art was so stylized that a good case could be made that it portrays people of any ethnicity.
Culturally, they’re often linked to the Ma’dan (Marsh Arabs) who still live in southern Iraq. But the idea that the Ma’dan are ethnically Sumerian seems a bit unlikely, as the Sumerian language was not Semitic and the Akkadian conquests of 2334 BCE disrupted the ethnic and cultural isolation of the Sumerian people. By about 2000 BCE, the Sumerians were speaking Akkadian and the Sumerian and Akkadian civilizations were regarded as a single people; there is no evidence in any extant texts that they were discouraged from intermarrying, so we can reasonably assume that it was normal to do so. Given that fact, and the 4,000 years of history between then and now, it seems unlikely that anyone living today has more than a tiny amount of Sumerian ancestry.
Does this mean that we’ll never know how the Sumerian language developed, or where the Sumerians originally came from? Probably, but there are some ways we might find out: an older extant text from the region, written in a proto-Sumerian language, might connect Sumerian with languages that currently seem unrelated. And if any reasonably well-preserved Sumerian bones can be found (which isn’t completely implausible; scientists have successfully sequenced 400,000-year-old human DNA), DNA testing could tell us their ethnic origin. Then again, it’s possible—and, given how little we know about the ancient world, perhaps even probable—that these discoveries will only deepen the mystery.
Astronauts Just Found Life In Outer Space — And Scientists Aren’t Sure How It Got There Image Credit: AP
The news: Russian cosmonauts have discovered something remarkable clinging to the outside of the International Space Station: living organisms.
The microscopic creatures appeared during a space walk intended to clean the vessel’s surface, and were allegedly identified — incredibly — as a type of sea plankton. This is big: According to Sploid, Russian scientists are both “shocked by [the] discovery and can’t really explain how [it] is possible.”
“Results of the experiment are absolutely unique,” Russian ISS Orbital Mission Chief Vladimir Solovyev told the ITAR-TASS News Agency. “This should be studied further.”
Life in space: While not exactly alien life forms, experts are having trouble explaining how the plankton ended up on the station and survived — possibly even grew and multiplied — 205 miles above Earth’s surface.
Some claim they were carried there from the ocean by “uplifting air currents,” according to Sploid. The Mirrorreports the plankton are atypical for Baikanour, Kazakhstan, where the station initially launched, meaning it’s unlikely they were on its hull before it took off.

Sploid‘s Jesus Díaz goes a step further: He suggests their appearance lends credence to the theory that “organic life may have spread across space traveling on comets and asteroids.”
This is less far-fetched than it seems: In 2012, Motherboard aired a documentary short about tardigrades — ”minuscule eight-legged creatures that can withstand extreme conditions, including the vacuum of space,” according to the Atlantic.
Touted as the “first animal to survive in space,” this hardy microorganism boasts limbs, “a mouth, a digestive tract … muscles” and a nervous system,” according tothe film. Its ability to endure such harsh conditions has led scientists to ponder whether it did, in fact, originate in space.
In other words: An alien.
So let your imagination run wild. If tardigrades, sea plankton and other tiny organisms can survive unsheltered in the vast expanses of space, who’s to say their relatives — and relatives’ descendants — never populated or evolved on other worlds the same way life on Earth came about.
Scientists have much to learn about the universe, but such findings mark exciting developments in the ongoing search for extra-terrestrial life.
Reports of a UFO sightings are coming from Houston, Texas. These photos and videos were taken by multiple witnesses.
Watch TV news about this paranormal phenomenon:
Here are a few more photos of this disc-shaped formation of lights:
Additionally, these unknown lights were also recorded over Houston, TX the same night. More info coming soon!
Update about the Houston sighting:
Owing to the unclear skies, the image is not so clear, but the UFO the witness spotted was visible enough. Among the series of images that were posted online, one photo shows a circular object hovering in the skies. Among the rest, only an object can be seen against the backdrop of dark clouds. One more upload shows a glowing circle which is clear enough.
With various accounts of the sighting, everyone wondered about what the unidentified object in the sky might be. Following this, the Vice President for astronomy at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, Dr. Carolyn Sumners stated that they were exploring all possible explanations about what the sighting would have been. This way, they can conclude on what the sighted object actually was.
Dr. Carolyn Sumners also added that if more people had sighted the circular object that day, views of the UFO from different angles could be obtained, thereby giving a clear picture and information about what the object actually was. The rough weather in Houston skies that night could be a reason why onlookers were able to view the UFO that night.
All the sightings that had been captured in this span have been posted on YouTube and are gaining views from all over the world. Many UFO researchers are still wondering about what the sighting in this span might have been, but barely have any answers for the same. This is mainly owing to the lack of high clarity pictures or any other concrete data regarding the UFO.
With no concrete and confirmed information about this sighting available, even UFO researchers are still left clueless about what the sighted object was, with the mystery getting only deepened.
Sometimes it is hard to believe that unsolved mysteries still exist in this day and age. In the last century, humankind has made extraordinary technical advancements. We have walked on the Moon, uncovered the building blocks of life itself, DNA, ventured deeper into the oceans than ever before and invented the self-strirring coffee mug! However even with our amazing progress as a species there are still mysteries out there to which the solution eludes us. Here you will find some of the most puzzling unsolved mysteries in recorded history. Mysteries such as:
The Voynich Manuscript
The Voynich Manuscript, one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in the world.
The Voynich Manuscript is a manuscript written in the Middle Ages in an unknown language using an unknown alphabet system. Attempts have been made to interpret the document for over 100 years, but there hasn’t been a single breakthrough yet. The Book includes illustrations of plants (with some of them being unknown to modern bottanists) and astronimocal information. It is possible that the book is the work of an alchemist who used codes to keep his discoveries a secret but, untill the book is decoded, no one knows for certain.
Like its contents, the history of ownership of the Voynich manuscript is yet another unsolved mystery. The codex belonged to Emperor Rudolph II of Germany, who purchased it for 600 gold ducats and believed that it was the work of Roger Bacon. It is very likely that Emperor Rudolph acquired the manuscript from the English astrologer John Dee (1527-1608). Dee apparently owned the manuscript along with a number of other Roger Bacon manuscripts. In addition, Dee stated that he had 630 ducats in October 1586, and his son noted that Dee, while in Bohemia, owned “a booke…containing nothing butt Hieroglyphicks, which booke his father bestowed much time upon: but I could not heare that hee could make it out.” Emperor Rudolph seems to have given the manuscript to Jacobus Horcicky de Tepenecz (d. 1622), an exchange based on the inscription visible only with ultraviolet light on folio 1r which reads: “Jacobi de Tepenecz.” Johannes Marcus Marci of Cronland presented the book to Athanasius Kircher (1601-1680) in 1666. In 1912, Wilfred M. Voynich purchased the manuscript from the Jesuit College at Frascati near Rome. In 1969, the codex was given to the Beinecke Library by H. P. Kraus, who had purchased it from the estate of Ethel Voynich, Wilfrid Voynich’s widow.
The Bermuda Triangle
The Bermuda Triangle is still one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in the world.
The Bermuda Triangle is a large part of ocean in the North Atlantic that has been the source of many plain- and boat disappearances. A number of explanations have been suggested over the years ranging from; time warps, extreme weather to alien abductions. There is substantial evidence to show that many of the disappearances have been exaggerated, but even if those were excluded from the total count, the odds of vanishing into thin air are higher in the Bermuda Triangle then anywhere else.
Saint Germain, the Immortal Count
Count St. Germain the real Doctor Who?
Is it possible for a person to live forever? That is what some people are claiming about a historical figure known as Count de Saint-Germain. His origins are still unclear. Some records date his birth to the late 1600s, although some believe that his longevity reaches back to the time of Christ. He has appeared many times throughout history – even as recently as the 1970s – always appearing to be about 45 years old. He was known by many of the most famous figures of European history, including Casanova, Madame de Pampadour, Voltaire, King Louis XV, Catherine the Great, Anton Mesmer, George Washington and others. He has also been linked to a number of occult movements and conspiracy theories.
Who was this mysterious man? Are the stories of his immortality mere legend and folklore? Or is it possible that he really did discover the secret of eternal life?
The date of birth for Saint German is unknown, although most accounts say he was born in the 1690s. A genealogy compiled by Annie Besant for her co-authored book, The Comte De St. Germain: The Secret of Kings, asserts that he was born the son of Francis Racoczi II, Prince of Transylvania in 1690. What we do know for certain is that he was an accomplished alchemist, which means he could turn heaps of metal into pure gold. If that wasn’t a neat enough trick already, the count also claimed to have discovered the secret of eternal life! Between 1740 and 1780 Saint-Germain, who was quite a celebrity in those days, traveled extensively throughout Europe – and in all that time never seemed to age. Those who met him were astonished by his many abilities and peculiarities like:
He spoke 12 languages
He could play the violin like a virtuoso.
He was an accomplished painter.
Wherever he traveled, he set up an elaborate laboratory, presumably for his alchemy work.
He seemed to be a man of great wealth, but was not known to have any bank accounts. (If it was due to his ability to transmute base metals into gold, he never performed the feat for observers.)
He dined often with friends because he enjoyed their company, but was rarely seen to eat food in public. He subsisted, it was said, on a diet of oatmeal.
He prescribed recipes for the removal of facial wrinkles and for dyeing hair.
He loved jewels, and much of his clothing – including his shoes – were studded with them.
He had perfected a technique for painting jewels.
He claimed to be able to fuse several small diamonds into one large one. He also said he could make pearls grow to incredible sizes.
He has been linked to several secret societies, including the Rosicrucians, Freemasons, Society of Asiatic Brothers, the Knights of Light, the Illuminati and Order of the Templars.
Officially Saint Germain died in 1784, but of course dying equals having a bad day, when your called the “immortal count”. He would continue to be seen throughout the 19th century and into the 20th century!
In 1785 he was seen in Germany with Anton Mesmer, the pioneer hypnotist. (Some claim that it was Saint-Germain who gave Mesmer the basic ideas for hypnotism and personal magnetism.)
Official records of Freemasonry show that they chose Saint-Germain as their representative for a convention in 1785.
After the taking of the Bastille in the French Revolution in 1789, the Comtesse d’Adhémar said she had a lengthy conversation with Count de Saint-Germain. He allegedly told her of France’s immediate future, as if he knew what was to come. In 1821, she wrote: “I have seen Saint-Germain again, each time to my amazement. I saw him when the queen [Antoinette] was murdered, on the 18th of Brumaire, on the day following the death of the Duke d’Enghien, in January, 1815, and on the eve of the murder of the Duke de Berry.” The last time she saw him was in 1820 – and each time he looked to be a man no older than his mid-40s.
Voltaire, the 18th century philosopher, perhaps best summed up the Count of St. Germain:
this is “a man who never dies, and who knows everything.”
Jack The Ripper
Jack the Ripper has to be the most famous serial killer of all time. He was the most active in 1888 when he committed his hideous crimes mostly in the poor Whitechapel area of London. His victims were mostly prostitutes and in some cases the bodies were found only minutes after Jack the Ripper left the scene. This was especially creepy considering the Ripper took his time to mutilate and surgically remove organs from its victims.
Probably the biggest reason for the enduring appeal of this bizarre series of prostitute murders is the name Jack the Ripper. The name is easy to explain. It was written at the end of a letter which was forwarded it to the Metropolitan Police on 29 September 1988. The letter began “Dear Boss……” It went on to speak of “I am down on whores and I shant quit ripping them till I do get buckled…”; and went on in similar fashion. The “trade name” of Jack the Ripper was then made public and ignited both the imagination and a nation wide panic among the public. None of the 11 brutal murders were ever solved and to this day, we still don’t know anything about the identity of this mysterious serial killer and how many victims he made.
The Taos Hum
The Taos hum is a low-pitched sound that can be heard in various parts of the world. It is described as sounding like the humming of a refrigerator. Strangely a lot of people hear the sound and it is known to drive some people mad, while others don’t hear a thing. The mysterious sound is also undetectable by microphones or any other electronic equipment, making it extremely hard to pinpoint the source. It is most famous for its occurrence in Taos, New Mexico, the town where this mysterious phenomena got its name from. In 1997, the United States Congress asked scientists and observers to find the source of the sound, but they were unable to do so. There are a lot of theories surrounding the Taos Hum. Some say it has to do with the thin earth crust in Taos, while others are convinced it has to do with an alien UFO that crashed eons ago and is now buried deep underground. Whatever the case may be, it sure must suck to get a good night sleep in Taos!
The Shroud Of Turin
The Shroud of Turin is allegedly the burial shroud of Jesus Christ, which bears the image of a crucified man. Despite many scientific investigations, no explenation excists on how the image could have been imprented on the cloth. No attempts to replicate the image have been succesful. Tests date the fabric back to the Middle Ages, but it’s existence has been known since at least the 4th century, and pollen and weave testing put in the time of Jesus.
The Disappearance of Frederick Valentich
20-year old pilot, Frederick Valentich, was attempting to rack up flying time for his commercial license, flying his single engine Cessna 182 to King Island some 130 miles south of Melbourne Australia. He failed to touch down at the King Field airstrip on schedule. At 1906 his last radio transmission was received by Melbourne Flight Service Control on Saturday, October 21, which makes this disappearance unique in the annals of aviation history.
Just before his voice was abruptly cut off after making contact with Melbourne flight controllers, Valentich reported he could see four bright green lights- 1,000 feet above his position: “It is approaching from due east toward me, it seems to be playing some sort of game, flying at a speed I find impossible to estimate” And then: “It is not aircraft, it is…” Finally a long silence, broken when communication was initiated by ground control asking for an identification of the object in question. The young pilot’s answer: “It’s not an aircraft…” and the contact was lost…permanently.
An intensive land, sea and air search was begun by the Australian Navy and Air Force, centered on Bass Strait, 130 miles south of Melbourne and 25miles north of King Island, the point of Valentich’s last radio contact. But the search failed to turn out any trace of the pilot or his aircraft. It was determined that weather conditions at the time of disappearance were ideal, with almost unlimited visibility and a mild breeze. The pilot’s father Guido Valentich strongly believed his son was still alive—that he was being held by someone from another world. More importantly, the elder Valentich said his son had been interested in UFOs for many years and even reported sighting one about 10 months before. There were numerous other witnesses who called police that same night claiming to have seen a UFO on Saturday night. According to a Royal Australian Air Force spokesman, about 10 reports of UFO sightings were logged during the same weekend of the disappearance.
This picture was taken on the day of Valantich’s disappearance and to this day, has not been explained.
This whole mystery got an even more bizarre twist years later. According to the testimony of a number of witnesses, a young man who identified himself as Frederick Valentich, the Australian pilot who mysteriously disappeared in 1978 was alive and well in 1990 at Plaza del Charco, a resort on the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands. Displaying an Australian passport to prove his claim, Valentich told those with whom he spoke on several occasions that he now belonged to a group of humans who had been “recruited” by extraterrestrials. It is also worth noting that the supposed Valentich showed no signs of aging, and resembled the photos circulated around the time of his disappearance at the age of 20. Pretty bizarre huh? I am also very curious what Valantich was doing there at this resort. Did the aliens give him a few days off?
In this video from Nathaniel Xavier, we see the lights of a UFO up in the clouds over Houston. Or is it just a reflection of a lamp post?
experimental U.S. spacecraft or even some other scientific device, but whatever it is, one man captured it.
After a rainstorm, there have been reported sightings of a UFO floating above Houston, Texas. Several images were being shared online over the following days, including two posted by Nathaniel Xavier, aka DJ Nayyz.
One photo shows a ring of lights in a cloudy night sky illuminated by the moon, and another shows similar lights in a dark night sky.
As these photos were shared around the Internet, several local media outlets covered the sighting.
“I think the trick in UFO’s is figuring out what else they could be. It’s easy to say that could be the aliens,” said Dr. Carolyn Sumners, vice president for astronomy at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, to KPRC News. “If it’s a real object and it looks like it is. The more people who see it in different directions, the more likely we are to figure out where it is, what it is and see if we can explain it,” Sumners said.
Nathaniel Xavier also shared a video on Instagram of the unidentified flying object over Houston.
One expert told the Houston Chronicle what he thought. Fletcher Gray, the volunteer chief investigator for the Texas chapter of the Mutual UFO Network, thought the mysterious circle of lights was a reflection from highway lights because the video was shot through a car window. Gray said, “It’s no more than light trapped in the side window.” He’s basically saying not to call Scully and Mulder just yet.
In the video, it does look like the lights disappear behind a cloud, which would prove Gray’s hypothesis wrong, but that too may be just a trick of the dim light. Whatever the truth may be, these photos and the video have people talking.
Witness said: My Mom and I were headed home from Red Bluff Ca headed north on I-5. We were almost to the Bowman road exit at the time the photo was taken. My Mom asked me to take a picture of the sunset. It was Aug 10, 2014 around 8:30 p.m. After turning on to Bowman Rd. heading west, I saw a bright light in the sky, but quickly lost track of it. I noticed the dates said Aug 11 on the pictures that i took on the way home. The rest of the photos that I took earlier that day were dated Aug 10. I notice it while tranfering pics from phone to pc. I checked the phone and the pc, they both had the right date and time on them.
Dit onverklaarbare geluid wordt al sinds 1991 in de Grote Oceaan gehoord
Dit onverklaarbare geluid wordt al sinds 1991 in de Grote Oceaan gehoord
In de Grote Oceaan wordt sinds 1991 een onverklaarbaar geluid gehoord, dat door de Amerikaanse meteorologische dienst NOAA ook wel Upsweep wordt genoemd. Het geluid kan niet worden toegeschreven aan bijvoorbeeld walvissen of schepen.
De Amerikaanse marine heeft nog nooit een dergelijk signaal opgevangen, aldus een artikel van New Scientist uit 2002. Upsweep blijkt niet gebonden te zijn aan een bepaald gebied, aangezien het geluid in de hele Grote Oceaan wordt gehoord.
In 1994 werd een piek gemeten, maar sindsdien wordt het geluid steeds zwakker, aldus de NOAA. In de herfst en de lente wordt het geluid iets sterker. Dit kan te maken hebben met de bron van het geluid, maar het kan ook zijn dat het zich gedurende die jaargetijden beter kan verplaatsen in het water.
In 1996 theoretiseerden Emile Okal van de Northwestern University in Chicago en Jacques Talandier van het Franse Atoomenergie Agentschap dat een bepaald soort vulkanische activiteit verantwoordelijk zou kunnen zijn voor het geluid.
Ze dachten dat het geluid werd veroorzaakt door zeewater dat in contact kwam met een grote hoeveelheid lava. De onderzoekers gebruikten seismometers om de herkomst van het geluid te bepalen. Ze concludeerden dat de bron mogelijk in de Zuidelijke Grote Oceaan is te vinden.
Christopher Fox van de NOAA dacht dat de beweging van het water een geluid kan voortbrengen dat doet denken aan het waaien van de wind. Of is het geluid misschien afkomstig van een onbekend zeewezen? Is het een geologische eigenaardigheid of een onontdekt fenomeen?
Aangezien 95 procent van de wereldzeeën nog niet verkend is, is de kans dat er iets nieuws wordt ontdekt erg groot. Mysterieuze geluiden diep in de oceaan hebben wetenschappers al eerder voor raadsels gesteld. In 1997 werd in de Grote Oceaan een geluidsgolf met een ultra-lage frequentie waargenomen, dat de Bloop werd genoemd. De NOAA ontdekte later dat het ging om het geluid van een ijsbeving.
800 meter onder het ijs van Antarctica wemelt het van leven
800 meter onder het ijs van Antarctica wemelt het van leven
In een meer diep onder het ijs van Antarctica is een zeer divers ecosysteem aangetroffen. Er is nu voor het eerst direct bewijs gevonden voor leven onder het ijs. Het meer, Lake Whillans geheten, bevindt zich op 800 meter onder de Antarctische ijskap.
Micro-organismen leven er al eeuwen zonder zonlicht of frisse lucht. Voor onderzoeker John Priscu is de ontdekking een verlossing. Het kostte hem en zijn collega’s 10 jaar en meer dan 10 miljoen dollar om te bewijzen dat het meer leven herbergt. Eind vorig jaar boorde hij door het ijs en kon hij monsters nemen van het meer.
Het water bevat ruim 4000 soorten microben. “Dat we leven vonden verbaasde me niet,” zei Priscu. “Maar dat het ecosysteem zo divers is wel.” De micro-organismen leven onder meer van mineralen zoals ijzer, dat afkomstig is van gesteente en in het water terechtkomt.
De omstandigheden onder de ijskap zijn zo extreem dat de nieuw ontdekte organismen worden gedwongen om ‘rots te eten’. Ze hechten zich aan mineralen en oogsten op die manier als het ware kleine hoeveelheden ammonium en stikstof.

“Dit is het eerste definitieve bewijs dat er niet alleen levensvormen, maar ook actieve ecosystemen onder de ijskap van Antarctica kunnen worden gevonden, iets waar we de afgelopen decennia alleen maar vermoedens over hadden,” zei hoofdonderzoeker Brent Christner van de Louisiana State University.
De onderzoeksresultaten kunnen bijdragen aan de zoektocht naar buitenaards leven in ons zonnestelsel. De manen Europa en Enceladus worden namelijk bedekt door een laag ijs, waar water onderdoor zou stromen. Volgens Priscu zijn de omstandigheden op de maan Europa vrijwel identiek aan die op Antarctica.
Onder de Antarctische ijskap bevinden zich meer dan 400 rivieren, stromen en meren, waarvan het Vostokmeer het bekendste is. Russische wetenschappers analyseren momenteel water uit dat meer. De ijskap van Antarctica bevat ongeveer 70 procent van de totale hoeveelheid zoet water op aarde.
DNA-onderzoek heeft aangetoond dat de organismen niet per ongeluk zijn meegebracht met de apparatuur. Het onderzoek is verschenen in vakblad Nature
U.S. expedition yields first breakthrough paper about life under Antarctic ice.
BOZEMAN– The first breakthrough paper to come out of a massive U.S. expedition to one of Earth’s final frontiers shows that there’s life and an active ecosystem one-half mile below the surface of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, specifically in a lake that hasn’t seen sunlight or felt a breath of wind for millions of years.
The life is in the form of microorganisms that live beneath the enormous Antarctic ice sheet and convert ammonium and methane into the energy required for growth. Many of the microbes are single-celled organisms known as Archaea, said Montana State University professor John Priscu, the chief scientist of the U.S. project called WISSARD that sampled the sub-ice environment. He is also co-author of the MSU author-dominated paper in the Aug. 21 issue of Nature, an international weekly journal for all fields of science and technology.
“We were able to prove unequivocally to the world that Antarctica is not a dead continent,” Priscu said, adding that data in the Nature paper is the first direct evidence that life is present in the subglacial environment beneath the Antarctic ice sheet.
Lead author Brent Christner said, “It’s the first definitive evidence that there’s not only life, but active ecosystems underneath the Antarctic ice sheet, something that we have been guessing about for decades. With this paper, we pound the table and say, ‘Yes, we were right.’”
Priscu said he wasn’t entirely surprised that the team found life after drilling through half a mile of ice to reach Subglacial Lake Whillans in January 2013. An internationally renowned polar biologist, Priscu researches both the South and North Poles. This fall will be his 30th field season in Antarctica, and he has long predicted the discovery.
More than a decade ago, he published two manuscripts in the journal Science describing for the first time that microbial life can thrive in and under Antarctic ice. Five years ago, he published a manuscript where he predicted that the Antarctic subglacial environment would be the planet’s largest wetland, one not dominated by the red-winged blackbirds and cattails of typical wetland regions in North America, but by microorganisms that mine minerals in rocks at subzero temperatures to obtain the energy that fuels their growth.
Following more than a decade of traveling the world presenting lectures describing what may lie beneath Antarctic ice, Priscu was instrumental in convincing U.S. national funding agencies that this research would transform the way we view the fifth largest continent on the planet.
Although he was not really surprised about the discovery, Priscu said he was excited by some of the details of the Antarctic find, particularly how the microbes function without sunlight at subzero temperatures and the fact that evidence from DNA sequencing revealed that the dominant organisms are archaea. Archaea is one of three domains of life, with the others being Bacteria and Eukaryote.
Many of the subglacial archaea use the energy in the chemical bonds of ammonium to fix carbon dioxide and drive other metabolic processes. Another group of microorganisms uses the energy and carbon in methane to make a living. According to Priscu, the source of the ammonium and methane is most likely from the breakdown of organic matter that was deposited in the area hundreds of thousands of years ago when Antarctica was warmer and the sea inundated West Antarctica. He also noted that, as Antarctica continues to warm, vast amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, will be liberated into the atmosphere enhancing climate warming.
The U.S. team also proved that the microorganisms originated in Lake Whillans and weren’t introduced by contaminated equipment, Priscu said. Skeptics of his previous studies of Antarctic ice have suggested that his group didn’t actually discover microorganisms, but recovered microbes they brought in themselves.
“We went to great extremes to ensure that we did not contaminate one of the most pristine environments on our planet while at the same time ensuring that our samples were of the highest integrity,” Priscu said.
Extensive tests were conducted at MSU two years ago on WISSARD’s borehole decontamination system to ensure that it worked, and Priscu led a publication in an international journal presenting results of these tests. This decontamination system was mated to a one-of-a-kind hot water drill that was used to melt a borehole through the ice sheet, which provided a conduit to the subglacial environment for sampling.
Every day in Antarctica, he would tell his team to keep it simple, Priscu said. To prove that an ecosystem existed below the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, he wanted at least three lines of evidence. They had to see microorganisms under the microscope that came from Lake Whillans and not contaminated equipment. They then had to show that the microorganisms were alive and growing. They had to be identifiable by their DNA.
When the team found those things, he knew they had succeeded, Priscu said.
The Whillans Ice Stream Subglacial Access Research Drilling (WISSARD) project officially began in 2009 with a $10 million grant from the National Science Foundation. Now involving 13 principal investigators at eight U.S. institutions, the researchers drilled down to Subglacial Lake Whillans in January 2013. The microorganisms they discovered are still being analyzed at MSU and other collaborating institutions.
Christner said species are hard to determine in microbiology, but “We are looking at a water column that probably has about 4,000 things we call species. It’s incredibly diverse.”
Planning to drill again this austral summer in a new Antarctic location, Priscu said WISSARD was the first large-scale multidisciplinary effort to directly examine the biology of an Antarctic subglacial environment. The Antarctic Ice Sheet covers an area 1 ½ times the size of the United States and contains 70 percent of Earth's freshwater, and any significant melting can drastically increase sea level. Lake Whillans, one of more than 200 known lakes beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet and the primary lake in the WISSARD study, fills and drains about every three years. The river that drains Lake Whillans flows under the Ross Ice Shelf, which is the size of France, and feeds the Southern Ocean, where it can provide nutrients for life and influence water circulation patterns.
The opportunity to explore the world under the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is an unparalleled opportunity for the U.S. team, as well as for several MSU-affiliated researchers who are part of that team and wrote or co-authored the Nature paper, Priscu said.
Christner, for one, was a postdoctoral researcher with Priscu and Mark Skidmore at MSU from 2002 through 2006. He is now associate professor of biological sciences at Louisiana State University. Jill Mikucki, now an assistant professor at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, was one of Priscu’s doctoral students. Skidmore is a glacial geochemist in MSU’s Department of Earth Sciences. Andrew Mitchell, now at Aberystwyth University in the United Kingdom, was a postdoctoral researcher with MSU’s Center for Biofilm Engineering. Alex Michaud and Trista Vick-Majors are currently earning their doctorates in Priscu’s research group at MSU. Other MSU people on the team were Education and Outreach Coordinator Susan Kelly and Project Manager John Sherve.
The fact that MSU was so involved reflects the fact that it is pioneering a new field of science, Priscu said. MSU is the common ancestor of many scientists who study life in and under ice.
“I always tell my students when they come into the lab that ‘We are inventing this field of science. It’s working on life in ice and under ice. This field has never existed before. We thought it up. You are pioneers,’” Priscu said.
Appreciative of the opportunity to participate in WISSARD, Vick-Majors said she saw bacteria under the microscope within an hour after the first sample of water was pulled out of Subglacial Lake Whillans. Within days, she saw proof that the bacteria were active.
“It was very exciting. It will be hard to top,” she said.
She added that, “If you want to do microbial ecology in Antarctic subglacial environments, John is probably the person you want to work with. I feel very lucky to have gotten the opportunity.”
Agreeing, Michaud said, “Some of the graduate students joke, ‘How do we top this?’ We can’t.”
But the students can build on their WISSARD experience and gain a deeper understanding of Subglacial Lake Whillans and other subglacial habitats, he said. It’s not about going out and finding more novel habitats.
Christner said the team that wrote the paper in Nature is the dream team of polar biology. Besides the MSU-affiliated scientists, the co-authors include Amanda Achberger, a graduate student at Louisiana State University; Carlo Barbante, a geochemist at the University of Venice in Italy; Sasha Carter, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California in San Diego; and Knut Christianson a postdoctoral researcher from St. Olaf College in Minnesota and New York University.
“I hope this exciting discovery will touch the lives (both young and old) of people throughout the world and inspire the next generation of polar scientists,” Priscu said.
Cigar – shaped UFO sighting over Michigan on 19th August 2014
Cigar – shaped UFO sighting over Michigan on 19th August 2014
Witness said: I was taking pictures with my Nikon D3100 camera using a 18mm-55mm lens to capture lightning strikes from a storm that was heading over my residence. The storm came in from the west and was moving east/southeast and I had my camera on continuous shooting. A lightning bolt was discharged from the wall cloud. It is the only time a lightning bolt came from this cloud and within a few seconds after the bolt struct, I managed to capture 2 pictures of this object. After taking approximately 145 photos of this storm, I saw 2 pictures with a cigar shaped object following the south end of the wall cloud. I did not see this object at all while shooting them. It was only visible after I reviewed my photos on my computer.
The object was a dull gray/black, solid body, no lights or windows. There were NO wings, tail or protruding areas coming from this object. The ends are rounded and fits the cigar shape perfectly. It was approximately 30-50 ft in length (estimate) and about 700-900 ft high (again, estimate) and it followed in back of the main wall cloud that contained high winds and rain. It moved to the east, along with the storm. It had moved hundreds of feet in less than 4 seconds. There were no airplanes or helicopters in this area mainly because of the storm that was approaching. The only noise that was heard was the storm itself. A few times my camera would NOT shoot to capture images. So gaps were as long as 5 seconds on some of the pictures. While most images of the storm and object were captured, fluently, I had to refocus a few times in order to get the camera to shoot some of the images (although no object was visible in those pictures).
I have included pictures of this object. Also sending the stretch between the first sighting of the object and a couple of in between pictures to show you a time sequence from the first picture of the craft to the last picture of it. Also included, are pictures of the readings on my camera at the time they were taken.

UFO sighting over Ketchikan, Alaska on 19th August 2014
Witness said: I was on a small cruise ship touring in the Ketchikan area (the Tongass Narrows) with a group of co-workers and friends. At about 8:00 PM, I was taking some photos of the sunset with my iPhone. I took three shots of the sunset. The following evening, as I downloaded the photos to my computer, I noticed the bright light in the sky (upper left corner of all three photos at slightly different angles since the boat we were traveling was heading north or north-west as I was taking the sunset photos. I did not notice the bright light in the sky as I was taking the photos, yet the light object is clearly in the photo. Since I did not see the object directly at time of the photo, I cannot say that it was actually moving in the sky. On the photo the object or light appears oval of possibly disk shaped.

Such was the Indian name of the site of Westboro, Massachusetts, and the neighboring pond was Hochomocko. The camp of the red men near the shore was full of bustle one day, for their belle, Iano, was to marry the young chief, Sassacus. The feast was spread and all were ready to partake of it, when it was found that the bride was missing. One girl had seen her steal into the wood with a roguish smile on her lip, and knew that she intended to play hide-and-seek with Sassacus before she should be proclaimed a wife, but the day wore on and she did not come. Among those who were late in reaching camp was Wequoash, who brought a panther in that he had slain on Boston Hill, and he bragged about his skill, as usual. There had been a time when he was a rival of the chief for the hand of Iano, and he showed surprise and concern at her continued absence. The search went on for two days, and, at the end of that time, the girl’s body was taken from the lake.
At the funeral none groaned so piteously as Wequoash. Yet Sassacus felt his loss so keenly that he fell into a sickness next day, and none was found so constant in his ministrations as Wequoash; but all to no avail, for within a week Sassacus, too, was dead. As the strongest and bravest remaining in the tribe, Wequoash became heir to his honors by election.
A year later he sat moodily by the lakeside, when a flame burst up from the water, and a canoe floated toward him that a mysterious agency impelled him to enter. The boat sped toward the flame, that, at his approach, assumed Iano’s form. He heard the water gurgle as he passed over the spot where the shape had glimmered, but there was no other sound or check. Next year this thing occurred again, and then the spirit spoke: “Only once more.”
Yet a third time his fate took him to the spot, and as the hour came on he called his people to him: “This,” said he, “is my death-day. I have done evil, and the time comes none too soon. Sassacus was your chief. I envied him his happiness, and gave him poison when I nursed him. Worse than that, I saw Iano in her canoe on her wedding-day. She had refused my hand. I entered my canoe and chased her over the water, in pretended sport, but in the middle of the lake I upset her birch and she was drowned. See! she comes!”
For, as he spoke, the light danced up again, and the boat came, self-impelled, to the strand. Wequoash entered it, and with head bent down was hurried away. Those on the shore saw the flame condense to a woman’s shape, and a voice issued from it: “It is my hour!” A blinding bolt of lightning fell, and at the appalling roar of thunder all hid their faces. When they looked up, boat and flame had vanished. Whenever, afterward, an Indian rowed across the place where the murderer had sunk, he dropped a stone, and the monument that grew in that way can be seen on the pond floor to this day. – Myths and Legends of Our Own Land – Complete
Spokane Valley, WA – 4/3/2014: That night my husband and I were sleeping when I started to get excessively warm. I went to kick off my blankets but found that I couldn’t move my legs. I tired to move my arms and had no luck. I was only able to move my head enough to see an entity standing at the foot of the bed. I turned my head and noticed two more standing along the side of the bed behind my husband and he had an obviously disturbed look on his face almost as if he could tell they were there. Our pom-chi dog was whining in her carrier where she sleeps, she’s normally really quiet and doesn’t wake us that often unless it is something serious. The entities stood there for what felt like half an hour before the slowly started to vanish.
I did not really see much of the object that they could have come in on because it was outside. It was kind of a triangle shape when it took off and had been hovering about 100-200 feet off the ground. Our cell phones didn’t work right for the entire day following and we’ve had electronic problems since the incident. The object moved south before going over the mountains.
My husband has no memory of anything that night or the morning after it happened but still remembers waking up with a paranoid feeling. – MUFON CMS
Supernatural ‘Jinn’ Seen as Cause of Mental Illness Among Muslims
It may be common for psychiatric patients who are Muslim to attribute their hallucinations or other symptoms to “jinn,” the invisible, devilish creatures in Islamic mythology, researchers in the Netherlands have found.
The findings demonstrate one way in which culture may influence how people perceive their psychotic symptoms, and could help Western psychiatrists better understand patients who have an Islamic background.
Moreover, in today’s connected world, patients may fuse the symbols from their own backgrounds with those of other cultures to explain their symptoms, study leader Dr. Jan Dirk Blom, an assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Groningen, told Live Science.
In Islamic mythology, Jinn, or djinn, are supernatural creatures made of smokeless fire. They are frequently found in Islamic folklore and are mentioned in the Quran, the religious text of Islam. Historically, they are portrayed as menacing creatures that can harm humans, or drive them mad. People in Muslim societies have traditionally seen jinn as the cause of mental illness and neurological diseases, especially epilepsy. Read more at Live Science
By understanding how lizards regrow tissue it may be possible to enable the same process in humans.
Imagine being able to regrow a missing arm after an amputation or being able to regenerate your spinal cord after an accident has left you paralyzed – it might sound impossible now but scientists may soon be able to come up with a way to make it actually happen.
The key is believed to lie in the way in which a lizard can grow back its entire tail – a scale of regeneration that is unheard of throughout most of the animal kingdom.
“Lizards are the most closely-related animals to humans that can regenerate entire appendages,” said lead author Kenro Kusumi. “We discovered that they turn on at least 326 genes in specific regions of the regenerating tail, including genes involved in embryonic development, response to hormonal signals and wound healing.”
The researchers believe that they have identified the unique genetic “recipe” for limb regeneration in lizards and that given enough time, the same processes could be enabled in humans as well.
“Lizards basically share the same toolbox of genes as humans,” said Kusumi. – Nature World News

I can say beyond a shadow of doubt that the sighting of lights definitely was NOT a reflection and to offer that as a plausible explanation is pure nonsense. I live approximately 70 miles NW of Houston. Although Houston had rain, we had no rain that evening, Monday 8/11/14. I was not in a car and clearly saw the unidentifiable lights. From my vantage point I saw a ring of colored lights, some brighter than others, that appeared to be a round to oblong shaped ring of lights. The ring of lights seemed as if the ring was standing on edge and appeared to change shape as if the ring would partially rotate on a perpendicular axis in one direction to another and at one point seemed to tilt. The lights then just vanished and were no longer visible without apparent streaking away. I thought at first a helicopter or plane, but realized that clearly was not the case. I was driving down the read on my ranch cart heading in the direction of the object. The bright colored abnormal lights is what caught my attention just above a distant tree line. It was not a typical rotary nor fixed wing aircraft. Feelings, wonderment, wanted visually confirmation what I was seeing. The road is hilly as the geography. The objects became obscured by the tree line as the road changed.

Op internet gaan indrukwekkende beelden rond van een acht meter diepe scheur in het noordwesten van Mexico, die zich uitstrekt over een gebied van meer dan een kilometer.
De scheur ontstond afgelopen week en heeft een gat geslagen in de snelweg tussen Hermosillo in de deelstaat Sonora en de kust, meldt Sky News. Automobilisten en boeren worden gedwongen om de kolossale geul heen te rijden.
Het filmpje van de scheur, op sommige plaatsen vijf meter breed, is gemaakt met een drone. Te zien is hoe voertuigen bij de geul stoppen, terwijl een groene tractor wegrijdt. Onder de drone bespreken mensen de situatie.
Geologen proberen de oorzaak van de scheur te achterhalen, zo meldt de krant El Imparcial. De burgerbeschermingseenheid bij natuurrampen meent dat de geul kan zijn veroorzaakt door een aardbeving die afgelopen zondag het gebied trof.
Uit een ander onderzoek van geologen van de Universiteit van Sonora is gebleken dat boeren in het gebied een waterkering hebben aangebracht die is gaan lekken. Experts vermoeden dat de bodem als gevolg van het opgeslagen water zacht is geworden en uiteindelijk is verzakt.
HERMOSILLO, SON.- The opening of a crack in a little over a mile long and up to eight feet deep became trending on Twitter, including users of this social network in Hermosillo.
The Friday evening event was recorded in the Suaqui Ejido Candelaria, located 81.3 km west of the city of Hermosillo, two hours away by car, and is 90 meters above sea level.
Alan Hernandez was the person who posted the images, finding the place the length and depth of the crack, which opened on a road leading to the aforementioned ejido The Jojobal vineyard near the Poblado Miguel Aleman.
Inhabitants of the area surrounding ranches said they had no record of an event of this kind in recent years. Photographs received dozens of comments and 50 retweets between Friday night and Saturday morning.
Among the comments made by users of this social network is argued that the movement of earth could have been the result of abundant rainfall previous hours, 68 mm, or caused by an earthquake in the area was recorded. – Expreso

Deputies confiscate 2,000 animals from Louisiana home
Officials in Louisiana made a startling discovery on Friday, finding approximately two thousand animals, the majority in poor condition, living at a home in Lawtell just west of Baton Rouge. The owner, 64-year-old Donald Lefleur, was arrested and charged with animal cruelty.
“(There were) dogs, cats, geese, chickens, pheasants, a little bit of everything. Also, snakes.” said St. Landry Parish Director of Administration, Jessie Bellard. Rabbits, peacocks, and turtles were also rescued. The stench alone could be smelled from the road. Tipped off from a caller out of New Orleans, Bellard said he immediately obtained a warrant after visiting the house and seeing the conditions inside.
“The smell was horrendous,” said Bellard. “The chickens were in some little crates and they lived in faeces until it built up so much they could jump out of the crate.” Bellard says around 100 chickens were roaming inside and 20 dogs were living in crates, some so small they could barely move. It took most of the day for crews to find and collect all the animals. Also found around the property, rotting carcasses and chickens eating other chickens.
But what Bellard found most shocking was Lefleur’s reaction to the seizure. “He was very surprised that we were going to take his animals,” said Bellard. “He didn’t think he did anything wrong.” Some animals are in such bad shape, they’ll have to be euthanized. But there is hope for others – albeit a long road to recovery. “The employees are going to have to make sure all animals are accounted for and documented and the veterinarians are going to be looking at the 4-legged animals,” said Bellard. Once they are treated and deemed healthy, they’ll be up for adoption or a foster home. – KLFY
Paricutin, The Volcano That Grew Out Of A Cornfield
Rarely do volcanologist get to watch the birth, growth, and death of a volcano. Paricutin provided such an opportunity. Paricutin is a cinder cone volcano located in the state of Michoacan, in Mexico, close to a lava-covered village of the same name. The volcano erupted on February 20, 1943, and continued erupting till 1952, during which it destroyed the villages of Parícutin and San Juan Parangaricutiro, burying both beneath ash and lava. San Juan Parangaricutiro’s church spire is all that remains of the village, poking out of the now solidified lava rock.
—Unlike most volcanoes, Parícutin volcano didn’t exist until that fateful day. This makes the volcano unique because it is one of the very few volcanoes whose birth has been witnessed by man. The volcano is located about 200 miles west of Mexico City, in the Michoacan-Guanajuato volcanic field, that contains about 1,400 volcanic vents. Paricutin is the youngest volcano to form in the Northern Hemisphere.
Jarrett tended to forget things when he was drinking.
He once forgot that he hated cheesecake and ate an entire President’s Choice chocolate cheesecake all by himself. The next morning when he’d heard what he had done, he threw it all up again. Not because he felt sick at the time, just because he was disgusted that he had eaten it in the first place.
Jarrett also loved dares when he was drunk. Giving them, taking them.
This obviously made for a very interesting and dangerous combination. . . .
The last day of classes before summer break there was a huge bonfire down by the lake. A bunch of us from film class went, and then we called our other friends, and they called their other friends, and soon enough the lakeside was packed.
Anybody could have picked Jarrett out of that crowd, party animal that he was. He was swinging around that bottle of tequila so much that I was surprised he could be that drunk, given that it was splashing out at an alarming rate. But that was Jarrett, and I wasn’t surprised to later find out that he had been drinking from a vodka filled water bottle during his last exam.
He was drunker than anyone else at the party and he wanted everyone to know it. He kept shouting out for contests, dares, anything, just to prove to us how manly he was.
The party started to peter out around 3 in the morning, and by 4, it was just seven of us, all sitting around the fire, some of us passed out, most of us minutes away. But not Jarrett… Tank that he was, he was still vertical, though barely. By 4:30, everyone was asleep except Jarrett, the hot blonde next to him, and me. I was laying back against a huge piece of driftwood, and just watched the whole thing play out.
I listened as the hot blonde asked Jarrett to go jumping off the pier. As he drunkenly slurred to her that it probably wasn’t a good idea. As she flirted back with him, then lifted up her sweatshirt and threw it to the ground. As she dared him.
I just watched.
Jarrett never learned how to swim.
They ran off, stumbling the entire way, and I just sat there and watched.
I was the only one Jarrett had ever told that he couldn’t swim. I guess he forgot that night.
And I just watched, paraplegic that I am, thanks to another one of Jarrett’s stupid dares. – Reddit.com
The writer later answered questions:
What happened when the others woke up?
Not much. No one really realized what had happened. The hot blonde had disappeared, she was pretty traumatized. I just pretended I had been asleep or passed out, like everyone else. It was a pretty clear cut-case to the cops of another teenager being an idiot.
What was the dare that injured you, If you don’t mind me asking?
Ski accident a few years ago. Jarrett thought it would be funny to dare me to go off-trail in front of our whole group – and once Jarrett gets an idea in his head, he sees it through. Was waiting for a couple hours until someone came to see why I didn’t make it out.
Multiple witnesses reported glowing orbs of lights in the night skies over North Carolina beaches this weekend. The UFO sightings, along with a couple pictures of the objects, were submitted to WWAY out of Wilmington, NC, who reported on the unusual objects.
Woozy Dell told WWAY that she spotted the lights Saturday night over Ocean Isle beach, where she is vacationing. “I thought that’s a strange light. Maybe it’s a helicopter light, and I was watching them go, and they sorta did like a half circle,” Dell said. She continued, “And then I saw another one come, and then I thought this is bizarre, and it got a little interesting.”

Then more lights began to appear. Dell says, “So I saw two, and then I started seeing three, and then I started seeing four, and then I started counting them, because I thought, ‘My gosh. What is this?”
She described the orbs as “orangeish-red, but when it went back around it was white.”

The next day, Dell asked around to see if anyone else had seen the lights, and she says at least one person told her they had.
WWAY says they also received an email from another person who claims to have seen UFOs on Saturday at nearby Wrightsville Beach. This person said they were with a friend. In the email, the witness describes seeing similar strange lights at around 4 a.m. They watched the objects for around three hours. The witness says they thought the lights were planets at first, but then they began making “erratic motions.”

WWAY contacted the Brunswick County dispatch, but were told dispatch had not received any reports of strange lights on Saturday

Dell says of her sighting, “It is certainly an unidentified object, and it was in the sky, and then went away, and it was, the lights, were so unusual that it was something you don’t forget.”
She also hopes to see the objects again. “I have to admit,” Dell laughed, “I did go out the next night looking. And tonight looks like a clear night, so…”
The latest oddity spotted by bloggers who follow the images coming from Mars rover Curiosity doesn’t take a lot of imagination to see. It really looks like a thigh bone. Well, some kind of bone.
According to UFO Blogger, the rover captured the image on Aug. 14. It’s the latest in a string of fossilized animals and other unexplained phenomena that bloggers have reported.
These sightings include an iguana, a cat, a dinosaur spine, two dinosaurs, a mysterious light, a toy boat, a half-human and half-goat face and a rock that popped up from one image to the next when the rover wasn’t on the move (see all the photos above). NASA itself was initially puzzled by that one but determined the rock changed position when the rover turned in place and pushed the rock.
Curiosity has been on Mars since Aug. 6, 2012. It completed its first Martian year — 687 Earth days — on June 24.

A team of scientists has discovered living microbes in a subglacial lake below Antarctica.
Researchers with the Whillans Ice Stream Subglacial Access Research Drilling (WISSARD) project successfully drilled through the Antarctic ice reaching Lake Whillans in January 2013. After collecting both water and sediment cores, the team returned to the United States to test the samples. Researchers were surprised and thrilled to discover that, not only are microbes alive in the lake, but it is also an active ecosystem.

Researchers conclude that Lake Whillans is home to nearly 4,000 species of single-celled organisms.
This isn’t the first time scientists have recovered microbes from such an extreme environment. Researchers discovered 100,000-year-old microbes in the sediment beneath another subglacial Antarctic lake, Lake Hodgson, in September 2013. Another Antarctic lake, Lake Vida, was found to have “a diverse and thriving community of microbes” in November 2012. But the WISSARD team asserts that its microbes are the first organisms ever retrieved from a subglacial Antarctic lake because previous studies didn’t take enough precautions to eliminate the possibility of contamination.
Astrobiologists are very interested in life like these microbes that are able to live and thrive in extreme conditions. As New Scientist explains, “The finding is good news for astrobiologists hoping to discover life elsewhere in the solar system: in the ocean beneath the frozen surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa, for instance, or clinging on under the Martian polar ice caps.”
The team’s research is published in the journal Nature.
10 Insane Ancient Achievements that Science Can’t Explain
Out-of-place artifact (OOPArt) is a term coined by American naturalist and cryptozoologist Ivan T. Sanderson for an object of historical, archaeological, or paleontological interest found in a very unusual or seemingly impossible context that could challenge conventional historical chronology. The term “out-of-place artifact” is rarely used by mainstream historians or scientists. Its use is largely confined to cryptozoologists, proponents of ancient astronaut theories, and paranormal enthusiasts….
In this article we present our selection of Top 10 OOPArts. There are many more (you can find them by exploring our website).
Tiwanaku (Spanish: Tiahuanaco and Tiahuanacu) is an important Pre-Columbianarchaeological site in western Bolivia, South America. Pumapunku also called “Puma Pumku” or “Puma Puncu”, is part of a large temple complex or monument group that is part of the Tiwanaku. Tiahuanaco is an example of engineering so monumental that it dwarfs even the work of the Aztecs. Stone blocks on the site weigh many tons. They bear no chisel marks, so the means by which they were shaped remains a mystery.The stone itself came from two different quarries. One supplied sandstone and was situated 10 miles away. It shows signs of having produced blocks weighing up to 400 tons. The other supplied andesite and was located 50 miles away, raising the question of how the enormous blocks were transported in an age before the horse wasdomesticated in South America. Close examination of the structures shows an unusual technique behind their building. The stone blocks were notched, then fitted together so that they interlocked in three dimensions. The result was buildings strong enough to withstand earthquakes.

Puma Punku site has many finely cut stones - some weighing over 100 tonnes. The processes and technologies involved in the creation of these temples are still not fully understood by modern scholars.

The high desert of Peru holds one of the most mystifying monuments of the known world—the massive-scale geoglyphs known as the Nazca Lines. The “lines” are ranging from geometric patterns to “drawings” of different animals and stylized human-like forms.
The ancient lines can only be truly taken in, their forms discerned, from high in the air, leaving generations mystified as to how these precise works could’ve been completed long before the documented invention of human flight. Who built them and what was their purpose? Are the lines signs left by an alien race? Ancient “crop circles”? Landing strips for alien gods/astronauts? Relics of a ancient people far more advanced—capable of human flight—then previously imagined? Or perhaps a giant astronomical calendar? Read More >>
Sacsayhuamán (also known as Sacsahuaman) is a walled complex near the old city of Cusco, at an altitude of 3,701 m. or 12,000 feet. The site is part of the City of Cuzco, which was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1983.
Giant walls of Sacsayhuaman
They are three parallel walls built in different levels with lime-stones of enormous sizes. Zigzagging walls are made of boulders used for the first or lower levels are the biggest; there is one that is 8.5 m high (28 ft.) and weights about 140 metric tons. Those boulders classify the walls as being of cyclopean or megalithic architecture. There are no other walls like these. They are different from Stonehenge, different from the Pyramids of the Egyptians and the Maya, different from any of the other ancient monolithic stone-works. Scientists are not certain how these huge stones were transported and processed to fit so perfectly that no blade of grass or steel can slide between them. There is no mortar. The stones often join in complex and irregular surfaces that would appear to be a nightmare for the stonemason. [subject related:
Stonehenge is a megalithic monument on the Salisbury Plain in Southern England, composed mainly of thirty upright stones (sarsens, each over ten feet tall and weighing 26 tons), aligned in a circle, with thirty lintels (6 tons each) perched horizontally atop the sarsens in a continuous circle. There is also an inner circle composed of similar stones, also constructed in post-and-lintel fashion.
Stonehenge is angled such that on the equinoxes and the solstices, the sun rising over the horizon appears to be perfectly placed between gaps in the megaliths. This is doubtless not an accident, and probably contributed to the stories of its mysterious origins.
Gerald Hawkins, a Professor of Astronomy, concluded that Stonehenge was a sophisticated astronomical observatory designed to predict eclipses (Stonehenge Decoded). The positioning of the stones provides a wealth of information, as does the choice of the site itself. If you can see the alignment, general relationship, and the use of these stones then you will know the reason for the construction. The author, and other astronomers, discovered the 56-year cycle of eclipses by decoding Stonehenge! The movement of stones once each year from an initial fixed position allows to predict accurately every important lunar event for hundreds of years. This computer would need resetting about once every 300 years by advancing the stones by one space. Mankind generally used the cycle of the moon as a unit of timekeeping.
One of the strangest mysteries in archaeology was discovered in the Diquis Delta of Costa Rica. Since the 1930s, hundreds of stone balls have been documented, ranging in size from a few centimetres to over two meters in diameter. Some weigh 16 tons. Almost all of them are made of granodiorite, a hard, igneous stone. These objects are monolithic sculptures made by human hands.
The mysterious ruins of Baalbek. One of the great Power Places of the ancient world. For thousands of years its secrets have been shrouded in darkness, or bathed in an artificial light by those who would offer us a simplistic solution to its mysteries.
The Temple of Jupiter is one of the most impressive Temples in Baalbeck. It measures 88×48 meters and stands on a podium 13 meters above the surrounding terrain and 7 meters above the courtyard. It is reached by a monumental stairway. One of the most amazing engineering achievements is the Podium which was built with some of the largest stone blocks ever hewn. On the west side of the podium is the “Trilithon”, a celebrated group of three enormous stones weighing about 800 tons each.
Some archaeologists might well wish that Baalbek had been buried forever. For it is here that we find the largest dressed stone block in the world – the infamous Stone of the South, lying in its quarry just ten minutes walk from the temple acropolis. This huge stone weighs approximately 1,000 tons – almost as heavy as three Boeing 747 aircraft.

The Great Pyramid of Giza (also called the Khufu’s Pyramid, Pyramid of Khufu, and Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis bordering what is now Cairo, Egypt, and is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World that survives substantially intact. It is believed the pyramid was built as a tomb for Fourth dynasty Egyptian King Khufu (Cheops in Greek) and constructed over a 20 year period concluding around 2560 BC. The Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years.
Originally the Great Pyramid was covered by casing stones that formed a smooth outer surface, and what is seen today is the underlying core structure. Some of the casing stones that once covered the structure can still be seen around the base. There have been varying scientific and alternative theories regarding the Great Pyramid’s construction techniques. Most accepted construction theories are based on the idea that it was built by moving huge stones from a quarry and dragging and lifting them into place.
The Shroud of Turin is reputedly Christ’s burial cloth. It has been a religious relic since the Middle Ages. To believers it was divine proof the Christ was resurrected from the grave, to doubters it was evidence of human gullibility and one of the greatest hoaxes in the history of art. No one has been able to prove that it is the burial cloth of Jesus of Nazareth, but its haunting image of a man’s wounded body is proof enough for true believers.
The Shroud of Turin, as seen by the naked eye, is a negative image of a man with his hands folded. The linen is 14 feet, 3 inches long and 3 feet, 7 inches wide. The shroud bears the image of a man with wounds similar to those suffered by Jesus.
One theory is simply that the Shroud is a painting . It has been proposed that it was painted using iron oxide in an animal protein binder. The STURP scientists have concluded from their studies that no paints, pigments, dyes or stains have been found to make up the visible image. Could the image have been produced by a burst of radiation (heat or light) acting over short period of time which would have scorched the cloth? Scientists have not been able to duplicate the characteristics of the Shroud using this method just like the painting hypothesis. Also the color and ultraviolet characteristics of the Shroud body image and a scorch are different. The shroud body image does not fluoresce under UV light but scorches like the burns from 1532 do fluoresce under UV light. Thus many scientists rule out the radiation theory.
In the 1930?s, in a small rural village 100 miles southwest of Chihuahua, Mexico, at the back of a mine tunnel, two mysterious remains were found: a complete human skeleton and a smaller, malformed skeleton. In late February of 1999, Lloyd Pye was first shown the Starchild skull by its owners. Nameless then, it was a highly anomalous skull.
Front view of the Starchild skull (on the left) and the human skull (on the right). Compare striking differences between depth of eye sockets and shape of temporal area just behind outer edges of eyes.
The long-standing Star Being legends of Central and South America provide a plausible mechanism for how a highly abnormal skull (relative to humans) might have been biologically created rather than genetically or congenitally malformed, or physically manipulated by deliberate deformation (binding). Such immense deformation across the entire occipital (rear) and parietal (upper side) areas of the skull could not result from binding without deformation being visible in the frontal area, which is not evident. Birth defects across the entire occipital and parietal areas, while not impossible, seem highly unlikely because of the remarkable symmetry exhibited in all areas of the skull, including those effected by the deformations. The terrain of the bone in the eye sockets contains incredibly subtle indentations and ridges that are perfectly symmetrical in both sockets, which simply have to have been formed by genetic directions rather than by deformations.

The device, made of bronze and encased in wood, was found by divers off the Mediterranean island Antikythera in 1900.
“This device is just extraordinary, the only thing of its kind,” says Mike Edmunds (Cardiff University, Wales) one of the scientists investigating this amazing artefact.“The design is beautiful. The astronomy is exactly right. The way the mechanics are designed just makes your jaw drop.”
Nothing like this instrument is preserved elsewhere. Nothing comparable to it is known. from any ancient scientific text or literary allusion. On the contrary, from all that we know of science and technology in the Hellenistic Age we should have felt that such a device could not exist. Some historians have suggested that the Greeks were not interested in experiment because of a contempt-perhaps induced by the existence of the institution of slavery-for manual labor. On the other hand it has long been recognized that in abstract mathematics and in mathematical astronomy they were no beginners but rather “fellows of another college” who reached great heights of sophistication. Many of the Greek scientific devices known to us from written descriptions show much mathematical ingenuity, but in all cases the purely mechanical part of the design seems relatively crude. Gearing was clearly known to the Greeks, but it was used only in relatively simple applications. They employed pairs of gears to change angular speed or mechanical ad- vantage, or to apply power through a right angle, as in the water-driven mill.
New research has some believing that the 1966 Westall UFO was actually a rogue research balloon. That, and other space and UFO news on this episode of Spacing Out!
As a young professor at MIT in the 1920s, Vannevar Bush (1890-1974) did seminal work on analog computing and was a cofounder of Raytheon, whose initial success was based on long-lasting radio tubes. But he is best known for his role in Washington during World War II: as President Roosevelt's advisor, he organized the Manhattan Project and oversaw the work of 6,000 civilian scientists designing new weapons. His 1945 report "Science -- The Endless Frontier" spurred the creation of a system of public support for university research that endures to this day.Although he helped to give rise to the military-industrial complex, Bush was a skeptical observer of the interplay between science and politics. He warned against the dangers of an arms race and led a failed effort to halt testing of the hydrogen bomb. This balanced and gracefully written biography brings to life an American original and his times.
Review of Endless Frontier: Vannevar Bush, Engineer of the American Century by G. Pascal Zachary
The End of the Frontier: Vannevar Bush & Harry S. Truman
I have made the case elsewhere (Oh Canada! Wilbert Smith & The UFOs) that Vannevar Bush was an extremely unlikely choice to be tapped by President Truman for anything to do with a crashed flying saucer, whether it was the supposed MJ-12 group or the committee referred to by Smith in his famous (or, in my opinion, infamous) "Top Secret" memo which , among other things, detailed his conversation with American scientist Dr. Robert Sarbacher.
Why? Because, to put it in the vernacular, the two were on the "outs" - Bush was Rossevelt's man. With the ascension of Truman to the Presidency, Bush's spot at the top of the scientific establishment in Washington was effectively finished.
In my MJ-12 Mea Culpa, I raised four points for Stan Friedman to answer with respect to MJ-12, one of which was the unlikelihood that Bush would be tapped by Truman for any such project. To his credit, Stan responded to this particular point by sending me the relevant excerpt from Bush's memorandum of his meeting with Truman and Secretary of Defence James Forrestal on 24 September, 1947. It was at this meeting that MJ-12 was supposedly established by Truman, with Forrestal and Bush as key members.
The problem for Stan and other MJ-12 defenders is that Bush's memo of the conference, far from demonstrating that Truman considered Bush a trusted advisor (the kind you would put on a project like MJ-12), reveals the opposite.
Bush was there to discuss with Truman the prospect of Bush taking on the chairman's job at the newly formed Research and Development Board. It was not the job that Bush had been angling for - he wanted the post of Secretary of Defense, as noted by historian Pascal Zachary in Endless Frontier: Vannevar Bush, Engineer of the American Century (at pp. 322-323). Still, Bush was willing to take the RDB position for a year or so, but only on one condition - if the scientists in the country felt that he had the confidence of the President.
According to Bush, Truman replied that he did not see how they could think otherwise, and that Bush "certainly had his confidence."
That was not enough for Bush, however, who knew better. He told Truman that "inasmuch as he had not called me in for anything for a year, and since the last report that was made on the future of science in this country was made by someone else [PK note - Bush's rival John Steelman], scientists naturally gathered that I was not in his confidence."
This is a remarkable moment for anyone who thinks that Bush had retained any influence in the Truman administration. In the first place, he was being given a consolation job. In the second, he was not willing to take it unless Truman specifically expressed his confidence in him - twice! A man who knew he had the President's confidence would not have had to ask at all.
Truman again assured Bush that he had his confidence, and that Truman had not really realised that Bush had not had anything to do with the preparation of the Steelman report. He then told Bush that, "if it had not been true in the past, I would rather be frequently in contact and that if there was an impression that [Bush] did not have [Truman's] confidence that that impression would soon be corrected by future relations."
Bush took the job. He lasted, as he had predicted that day, less than a year, leaving the RDB in a mess after failing to secure Truman's confidence in his ongoing battles with the Joint Chiefs (see letter from V. Bush to James Forrestal, 8 September 1948 - NARA, RG 218, CDF 1948 - 1950, 334 RDB, 102). In 1948 Bush was specifically excluded from Truman's special advisory committee for an appraisal of progress in atomic research, a final snub to the man who had been instrumental in the creation of the atomic bomb in the first place (see Truman's Memoirs: Years of Trial and Hope, pp. 298 - 303; it is one of the few references he makes to scientific issues, indicating its importance).
In 1950, William Golden, Truman's science advisor, noted after a conversation with Bush that "Bush is now on the outside so far as Government scientific matters are concerned, a position of which he is very conscious and to which he referred time and time again. Though President Truman is very cordial to him he does not call upon him for advice, though Dr. Bush has pointed this out to him on a number of occasions. It is very evident that Dr. Bush, who had a very close working relationship with President Roosevelt, does not approve of the current state of affairs." (See the American Association for the Advancement of Science archives, Memoranda of William T. Golden, "Memorandum to File: Conversation with Dr. Vannevar Bush")
None of this should come as a surprise to anyone who has studied the totality of Bush's government service, in particular the rapid decline in his influence once Truman suddenly came to power. Take the New York Times obituary for Bush (30 June 1974, pp. 1 and 36), for example. The Times devoted six columns to Bush's life, but only two paragraphs to his work after the end of the Second World War. Similarly, Physics Today (September 1974, pp. 71 - 72) observed that Bush would be "chiefly remembered for his leadership of the Office of Scientific Research and Development during World War II" and the twenty years prior to 1938, when "he attained great distinction as a professor of electrical engineering at MIT."
Of course, all of this was painfully obvious to Bush, who had discovered the true nature of his relationship with Truman on 14 June, 1945. Truman, in a 15 minute meeting that day, told Bush that he "liked" Bush's Endless Frontier report, which Bush saw as the blueprint for the future of science in the United States (a future that would have Bush at the helm). It was eerily similar to Truman's expression of "confidence" in Bush at the 24 September, 1947 meeting.
Bush left the June 1945 meeting no doubt feeling good about his prospects.
Later that day, a presidential aide told him that Truman had rejected "Endless Frontier."
Not the president himself; an aide. It is a snub that is indicative of what Truman really thought of Vannevar Bush, a man who, as he got the news, must have realised that he had reached the beginning of the end of his own, once seemingly endless, frontier in government service.
FINALLY, a picture of a UFO that is not a badly photoshopped flying cigar.
And not just one image. Hundreds of people reported seeing a ring of blinking lights in the sky above Houston, Texas, during a lightning storm last week and plenty of them had cameras.
Photographs and videos of the event have been circulating on social media, generating so much interest on social media that the Huffington Post actually ran a poll on “The Texas UFO”.
Some of the best footage was recorded by Houston musician Andrew Pena, who says he was videoing the spectacular lightning show while driving along the Interstate 45 freeway in the city’s south and didn’t realise what he had until he played it back at home.

UFO or reflection of the lamp post in a strange trick of light? Source: Twitter
The video, which shows a circle of brightly coloured lights moving around in the sky, has been declared both “amazing” and “nothing” by UFO-logists and sceptics alike.
“I think the trick with UFOs is figuring out what else they could be,” Dr. Carolyn Summers, vice president for astronomy at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, told KPRC-TV.
“It’s easy to say that it could be aliens. The more people who see it in different directions, the more likely we are to figure out where it is, what it is, and see if we can explain it.”

Mutual UFO Network chief investigator Fletcher Gray dismissed the object as “no more than light trapped in the side window” of Mr Pena’s car.
The UFO was reportedly hovering less than 20km from the Johnson Space Center, leading others to speculate it could have been NASA testing its latest toy, a “supersonic flying saucer” which was launched from Hawaii on June 28.

The device, officially named Low Density Supersonic Decelerator, imitates the rapid inflation technique of the Hawaiian puffer fish as a way to protect spacecraft during landings.
The aim is to reduce the speed of descending spacecraft, making it easier to land on planets like Mars.
Other theories include a weather balloon, the reflection of a street light, stadium lights and an unmanned drone but so far there has been no official explanation and no word from NASA.
Leven op Mars? Nieuwe structuur gevonden in meteoriet
Leven op Mars? Nieuwe structuur gevonden in meteoriet
Wetenschappers hebben in een Marsmeteoriet een nieuwe mineraalrijke structuur aangetroffen, die erop zou kunnen wijzen dat onder het oppervlak van Mars leven kan bestaan.
De nieuwe structuur is ontdekt in de Nakhla-meteoriet en bestaat uit nanokristallijn ijzerrijk klei, dat een aantal mineralen bevat. Het gesteente is waarschijnlijk losgekomen tijdens een uitbarsting, waardoor de permafrost smolt en vloeistoffen aan het oppervlak en onder de grond met elkaar werden vermengd.
Elias Chatzitheodoridis van de Nationale Technische Universiteit van Athene en collega’s Sarah Haigh en Ian Lyon van de Universiteit van Manchester maakten gebruik van elektronenmicroscopie, röntgenstraling en spectroscopie om de eivormige structuur te bestuderen.
Volgens hoofdredactrice van Astrobiology Sherry L. Cady laat de studie zien dat het belangrijk is verschillende datasets naast elkaar te leggen om te bepalen of een fragment van een rots al dan niet een biosignatuur is, een fysisch of chemisch verschijnsel dat alleen door het voorkomen van leven kan worden veroorzaakt.
Hoewel de wetenschappers niet definitief konden aantonen dat het object bewijs is voor leven, geeft het onderzoek een grote hoeveelheid informatie over de potentie van Mars om leven te herbergen, aldus Cady. De studie is verschenen in Astrobiology, een peer-reviewed tijdschrift van Mary Ann Liebert, Inc.
A video shot outside of Vancouver, British Columbia, during a forest fire unexpectedly captured a lot more than firefighting efforts.
On July 17, 2014, Castanet.net, a news organization in Western Canada, posted a video shot in West Kelowna — northeast of Vancouver — featuring efforts to stop the Smith Creek Wildfire.
Here’s the original Castanet.net video report, showing the UFO at approximately 26 seconds.
“In the news piece, a bright object appears from behind clouds above the fire area quickly moving left to right,” according to Castanet.net. The news site revealed the following description from a witness who noticed the unusual aerial object in the video:
Shot out from the clouds above the mountain during a forest fire near our neighborhood. It pulled a wisp of cloud with it as it exited.
A forest fire broke out on the mountain behind us and during the attempt to put it out, this event took place.
I was watching a video online of the fire from a little earlier in the day and I spotted the UFO 37 seconds in. I have no idea whether anyone else has noticed this or not. Most folks would be focused on the fire.
37 seconds into the video the UFO comes shooting out from a cloud right above the mountain and passes through a clear spot back into the next cloud. I was quite startled and surprised when I saw it.
The UFO left a thin trail of cloud vapor as it exited the cloud. This, to me, eliminates any thought that this might be a camera lens artifact or light phenomenon effect.
The event lasted only a few seconds. Judging by the distance I was from the object it had to have been moving very fast. The scene cuts away while the UFO is still visible. I’m left to assume that there must be more footage of it than I saw.
I phoned the website’s news department to ask if it would be possible to see the full footage, but was met with disapproval. In retrospect, perhaps I shouldn’t have mentioned the word UFO.
While no official explanation has surfaced about the UFO, OpenMinds.TV asked Marc Dantonio, chief photo and video analyst for the Mutual UFO Network, aka MUFON, to look at the video. He suggests the object could have been a bolide, a type of very bright meteor that streaks through Earth’s atmosphere.
“I am convinced that this was a really good find,” Dantonio told Open Minds. “It is an Earth-grazer, a meteor that approaches the atmosphere at a shallow angle, and continues on, skipping off the atmosphere back into space. Some of them will slow down enough to become trapped and fall to Earth but they many times just skip on off and keep going.
“This one does indeed show a vapor trail as it moves through, it does come out from behind the cloud, and it moves at a speed completely consistent with Earth-grazers.”
Watch this similar video of a bolide meteor from Mexico in 2013.
There’s one other interesting thing about the Canadian news video that may have been overlooked. YouTube commenter Joe Edwards observed something else in the sky in the same video footage:
“Did anyone notice the very next scene, it seems something dark and very fast flew from right to left across the screen, that was just as interesting,” Edwards wrote. “It occurs at about the 32-second mark.”
This object moves from the far right of the image to the far left, literally, at the blink of an eye. At first, one might assume it’s probably just an insect streaking by the camera. But, depending on how you look at it, it appears to slip behind trees and a telephone pole.
We asked HuffPost video editor Eva Hill to isolate the fast-moving object to see if it could be determined to fly in front of or behind the trees. We’ve included several screen grabs of the object in the following slideshow.
What do you think?
No official explanation has been given for the phenomenon and no meteor crash site has been found so far. Marc Dantonio, chief photo and video analyst for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) thinks it’s a bolide or meteor.
It is an Earth-grazer, a meteor that approaches the atmosphere at a shallow angle, and continues on, skipping off the atmosphere back into space. Some of them will slow down enough to become trapped and fall to Earth but they many times just skip on off and keep going.This one does indeed show a vapor trail as it moves through, it does come out from behind the cloud, and it moves at a speed completely consistent with Earth-grazers.
While that explanation seems plausible for the bright object, it doesn’t hold for another anomaly spotted in the enhanced version of the video. At about the 32 second mark in the news video, a black object appears quickly over the pickup truck. Some say it’s a spot on the lens or a bug but it appears to go behind the trees and the telephone pole. Enhanced views don’t help identify it and no explanation for it has come from any parties.
A magnified view of the second object in the video.
What does it look like to you? Was the first object a bolide? Was the second object a bug or a UFO spotting the spotters? Why are there so many UFO sightings in Canada?
A bizarre looking UFO event has taken place in the skies over Milan, Italy on July 6th, 2014. What appears to be a very high flying highly reflective UFO has beencaught on HD video.
The video itself may give clues as to what we are seeing in the video. Two cameras were used in the supplied video . The first is a Sony Handycam HDR-PJ260 and for the second half the video it was a Canon EOS 60D digital camera set for video camera mode. The Canon EOS 60D provides the superiorimages of this event. I have focused on the Canon video for this article.
A little about the camera involved
The 9-point AF system on the new EOS 60D features f/5.6-sensitive cross-type focusing on all nine focusing points. The center AF point is a hybrid of standard cross-type and special diagonally-shaped “X” cross, with high-precision sensitivity for f/2.8 and larger aperture lenses. Available for the first time in an EOS camera are Canon’s new creative image filters. Familiar to Canon PowerShot users, these fun photo effects help make a great image more dynamic, even after it has been shot. Canon provides four artistic filters that allow photographers to capture an image and then create and manipulate a digital copy of it.
The of interest to us in this UFO video is the filter called “Soft Focus Effect Filter”. The Soft Focus effect filter helps dramatize an image and smooth over shiny reflections.
Here is an example of what the soft focus effect has on light colored object.
The cameras aperture is also of interest to us when analysing this video. Aperture, like ISO, controls two things. It controls the depth of field and the amount of light entering the lens. Depth of field refers to how much of the subject is in focus. A shallowdepth of field leaves some of the subject out of focus, while a larger depth of field means that the foreground and background are both in focus. The camera’s aperture is the hole or opening in the lens that allows light through. This hole can get bigger or smaller depending on the camera’s settings. The sizes of the opening are known as f-stops, hence the “F”. F-stops average from f/2.8, f/4.0, f/5.6, f/8.0, f/11, f/22.
In Canon’s literature it makes reference to the F/2.8 as being the optimum aperture setting and that it accommodates even larger aperture settings. In the image below take a look at what a aperture of F/2.8 looks like. Make note of the shape of the opening (the aperture).
This video is obviously a case of optical aberration combined with the “Soft Focus Effect Filter”. This yields the effect you see in the video. The hexagonal shape of the aperture comes into play when the light coming into lens bounces around the optic glass due to impurities in the optics. In bright light situations you can see the shape of the aperture due to optical aberrations in the glass. that would explain the similar shaped reflections you see off the UFO.
One of the more interesting clues that sheds some light on this UFO mystery is the fact that July 6th, 2014 was a Sunday. According to Italian tradition. Most weddings were held on Sunday as it is considered the “luckiest day” for the bond of matrimony.
What the most likely thing we are seeing in the video are wedding balloons released during a wedding ceremony.
Obviously this is just speculation on what the UFO could be. But it is a plausible explanation that has the benefit of being simple and does not require extraordinary events to have occurred. Occam’s razor may being dull and boring but is almost always right. The original photographer needs to come forth and inform us of the exact camera settings were used and provide the original rawvideo for a more in-depth analysis. Otherwise all things point to it being wedding balloons.
After years of speculation it has now been proven beyond a doubt that life can thrive in the vacuum of space. The Russian news service ITAR-TASS reported today that one of their cutting edge scientific experiments which involved taking samples from the illuminators (lights) and the ISS spaceside surface has proven unique and conclusive results. The scientists aboard the ISS have found traces of sea plankton on the outside of the space station.
…Microorganisms could be found on the ISS surface thanks to high-precision equipment. “Results of the experiment are absolutely unique. We have found traces of sea plankton and microscopic particles on the illuminator surface. This should be studied further,” chief of the Russian ISS orbital mission Vladimir Solovyev said.
Every conceivable niche upon planet Earth has been populated by diverse life forms – on land, in freshwater and the seas, beneath layers of rock far below the earth’s surface, in the frozen Arctic and even buried within the formless ooze on the ocean beds and encircling scorching sulfur-spewing hydrothermal vents.
Yet, inexplicably, there is one lone but vast ecological niche that was believed to be totally untouched by biological activity – the atmospheric layers that encompass our planet.
It is common knowledge that Planktons (planktic) survival is strongly dependent on factors such as sources of nourishment, the physical state of the water column, and the abundance of other plankton. Plankton organisms include drifting animals, protists, archaea, algae, or bacteria that inhabit the pelagic zone of oceans, seas, or bodies of fresh water; that is, plankton are defined by their ecological niche rather than phylogenetic or taxonomic classification. Now their niche can be expanded to include zero-gravity, zero-atmosphere, and harsh cosmic rays.
Experiments which had been conducted for a quite long time were summed up in the previous year, confirming that some organisms can live on the surface of the International Space Station (ISS) for years amid factors of a space flight, such as zero gravity, temperature conditions and hard cosmic radiation. Several surveys proved that these organisms can even develop and thrive… Vladimir Solovyev noted that it was not quite clear how these microscopic particles could have appeared on the surface of the space station…
As science evolves and our understanding of the world and the Universe we live in develops, it is going to become abundantly clear that life is able to survive in environments we never dreamed possible. It is this writers opinion that life abounds in the Universe. Life has had over 14 billion years to evolve. That amount of deep time leads to endless possibilities to the diversity and distribution of life in our Cosmos. Life must be everywhere in this amazing and wondrous universe. Life is not constrained to a small sliver of conditions.
Life will thrive in conditions in which we have not even considered up to this point. Life may have evolved even in open space.
Alien Contact - Researchers in Puerto Rico recorded a "WOW" signal sent by a UFO?
Alien Contact - Researchers in Puerto Rico recorded a "WOW" signal sent by a UFO?
An independent group of researchers in Puerto Rico believe they possibly made contact with ‘beings from elsewhere’ last Friday, August 15, 2014, 37th anniversary of the mysterious ‘WOW! Signal’ captured by SETI.
Joshua P. Warren's team transmitted a message, recorded by George Noory, into space all day, from Arecibo, Puerto Rico, and various other spots on earth asking ET to appear around certain GPS coordinates as a live webcam streamed footage of the general location.
A variety of anomalies were captured on camera, including a “saucer-shaped object” that appeared and which then shot straight up into the sky, accompanied by a strange, high-pitched tone.
The video below shows an object appears and disappears at "light speed".
In the next video, we also hear a strange high-pitched tone as an object appears and disappears straight up into the sky.
Warren’s team compared that tone to the famed WOW! Signal, (Video: WOW Signal received at SETI on Aug 15, 1977) and say it is so similar they think the UFO possibly sent this signal to them as a sign of successful communication.
Warren's team captured the strange audio throughout a section of 7+ hours of raw footage from the webcam. Watch the video titled Arecibo Project 2 and listen especially around 1:40:00 into the video.
Joshua P. Warren: “We believe the UFO may have sent us the same type of signal that came from space, and was recorded by SETI, 37 years ago". He adds: “This was a complete surprise. Though it was picked up via a webcam microphone, and not a broad dish like SETI had, our analysis thus far has shown it is essentially a demodulated signal from the WOW! transmission turned into audio.”
When asked for his opinion of what the “beings” may be, Warren said: “After my 7 years of research here, the accumulating evidence suggests we may be dealing with a new form of life in Puerto Rico. Sometimes huge, and sometimes small drones, I believe these beings could be a highly-advanced, extremely sleek and efficient organic/electronic hybrid. They have probably evolved much longer than humans, and are now capable of inter-stellar and inter-dimensional travel, seeming to pop in and out of our visible dimensions almost instantly.
Russian scientists say they have found traces of sea plankton on the surface of the International Space Station (ISS), proving that life can survive in the harsh conditions of space.
Russian ISS orbital mission chief Vladimir Solovyev told reporters that the discovery was made during the analysis of samples taken from the illuminators and the surface of the ISS. ITAR-TASS News Agency writes that this confirms, “some organisms can live on the surface of the International Space Station (ISS) for years amid factors of a space flight, such as zero gravity, temperature conditions and hard cosmic radiation.”

The experiments not only found that the sea plankton has survived on the ISS surface, but that they could develop.
How the plankton got onto the surface of the ISS is still not known. The plankton could have hitched a ride, or, according to Yahoo! News Australia, Solovyev offered another possibility, “It means that there are some uplifting air currents which reach the station and settle on its surface.”
Solovyev says, “Results of the experiment are absolutely unique. We have found traces of sea plankton and microscopic particles on the illuminator surface. This should be studied further.”
If life can survive adrift in space, it gives credence to the idea that life on earth could have originated from elsewhere. It just hitched a ride on a rock or chunk of ice. It also means that life can flourish in much harsher environments than previously thought. Space itself could harbor living creatures.
UPDATE 8/20/2014
NASA spokesman Dan Huot says they have not confirmed the sea plankton claims. He told Space.com, “As far as we’re concerned, we haven’t heard any official reports from our Roscosmos colleagues that they’ve found sea plankton.” Roscosmos is Russia’s Federal Space Agency.
Cusco (Macchu Picchu), Peru – translated: The photos were taken last April 30, 2014 but it was not until last Thursday, August 14 at the revise saw the objects in them, they are then taken to visit the ruins of Macchu Picchu in Cusco Peru on vacation, so the location is close to it, I’m not sure there were more witnesses and not hear anyone talk about it and as I described I also realized I object to review photos three and half months later, I had never seen this kind of lights and watching the image sequence, seem to be separated to be three fixed lights in the sky. – MUFON CMS
Space Station Covered With Plankton — Bizarre Discovery Baffles Scientists
A strange discovery on the International Space Station has left scientists baffled. It turns out that the space station has traces of living sea plankton on the surface of the spacecraft that orbits more than 200 miles above the Earth’s surface, and well above the planet’s atmosphere.
“The results of the experiment are absolutely unique,” said Russia’s chef Space Station scientist Vladimir Solovyev. “We have found traces of sea plankton and microscopic particles on the illuminator surface. This should be studied further.”
Solovyev said that the plankton is not a form of alien or extraterrestrial life. In fact. the organisms are native to oceans right here on Planet Earth. But how they got on the Space Station is total mystery.
The organisms were discovered during a routine polishing of the Space Station illuminators, the type of housekeeping that is “particularly needed during long space flights,” Solovyev said.
Scientists believe that the organisms could have been living on the outside of the International Space Station for many years. The first components of the space station were launched in 1998 and the station has been occupied by different crews of astronauts for almost 14 full years now.
But not until Russian astronauts Olek Artemyev and Alexander Skvortsov discovered the plankton during recent spacewalk were scientists aware that the living organisms had attached themselves to the Space Station — somehow.
The Russian science chief said he was in the dark as to “how these microscopic particles could have appeared on the surface of the space station.”
While the plankton are of a type that typically live on the surface of large bodies of water, the type found on the Space Station are not native to Baikonur, Khazakstan, which is the area from which the space station was launched.
“Plankton in these stages of development could be found on the surface of the oceans.
“This is not typical for Baikonur. It means that there are some uplifting air currents which reach the station and settle on its surface,” Solovyev said.
Certain microscopic organisms can not only survive but thrive even in extremely hostile environments, such as outer space where there is no oxygen and where temperatures are extreme.
But the real mystery remains how the plankton got onto the surface of the International Space Station in the first place. – Inquisitr
Lost Villages – home to Canada’s first paranormal tale
CORNWALL, Ontario– Are you a believer?
A new report released recently suggests more than 14,000 oddities involving aliens, space craft and strange lights have been catalogued in the last 25 years – but the Cornwall area is home to what could be considered Canada’s first such encounter.
A Winnipeg group known as Ufology Research has compiled and analyzed reported sightings of unidentified flying objects across Canada since 1989 – finding explanations or reasonable explanations for about half of the events.
But a close encounter of the weird kind occurred west of Cornwall back in the 1840s which continues to confound researchers and historians.
What became known as the ‘Marsh Point Ghost’ started out as strange lights on a September evening back in 1845. A farmer was walking home one night, along the banks of the Cornwall Canal west of community, when he spotted the phenomenon.
He spied strange lights dancing around the farm owned by Granny Marsh, 80, who lived with her daughter Clara, 60, on the property, which was located on the island of Milles Roches – which is now among the Lost Villages west of Cornwall.
Unsure what the strange dancing orbs to be, the farmer visited the farm the next morning to determine what kind of disaster had befallen the poor old ladies – but the women said they had seen and heard nothing.
“They were highly amused to hear that people with lights had been seen to be wandering around their place after dark,” reported Rex Lambert, a CBC reporter who in the 1960s recounted the circumstances of the event.
Before long the unknown farmer heard from other residents who claimed to see the lightshow as well.
For the next several weeks countless people witnessed lights, some that seemed to move about the property, cross the canal waters and even climb trees, which were accompanied by the sounds of clanging and even small explosions.
Before long the old women who lived on the property became alarmed.
The phenomenon ended with the arrival of winter and never returned. Experts at the time concluded the event was unlikely to be a hoax, considering the fact that the victims appeared to be a pair of kingly elderly women who lived in a remote part of the country – hardly the best targets for such a prank.
The mystery of the event continues to this day – much of which has been lost to the passage of time.
“I’d never heard a word of this,” said Lost Villages Historical society president Jim Brownell in an interview. – Cornwall Seaway News

Former Canadian defense minister Paul Hellyer, 90, has declared that there may be up to 80 different species of aliens. He said aliens have been visiting our planet for thousands of years and are rather unimpressed with how we live. Hellyer described several types of aliens including 'Tall Whites' who are allegedly working with the U.S. air force in Nevada. Hellyer first went public with his belief in aliens on earth in 2005 and he is the first high ranking politician to publicly state that aliens are real!

Biological UFO's - Best Evidence for Extraterrestrial Extremophiles
Biological UFO's - Best Evidence for Extraterrestrial Extremophiles
Gepubliceerd op 31 mei 2014
Every conceivable niche upon planet Earth has been populated by life forms -- on land, in freshwater and the seas, beneath layers of rock far below the earth's surface, even buried within the formless ooze on the ocean beds and encircling their scorching water-spewing hydro-thermal vents.
Yet, inexplicably, there is one lone but vast ecological niche that has remained totally untouched by such animate activity -- the rarefied atmospheric layers above and encompassing our world. True, insects, bacteria, birds, bats, and various other living entities spend varying extents of time in the sky, but there is no known life form that has evolved to live exclusively here, never venturing ground-ward except to die. There are no sky beasts, or cloud creatures -- or are there?

UFO mania: NASA explains image showing alien on the Moon. You can also watch the press conference.
UFO mania: NASA explains image showing alien on the Moon. You can also watch the press conference
A video went viral this week capturing what seems to be an "alien" figure walking onthe moon.The short, eerie video showed images taken from Google Moon and zoomed in on what seems to be an extraterrestrial being.
Youtube user wowforreel posted the video and it instantly went viral and received more than 2 million views in less than a month. He believes that a creature is walking on the surface of the moon.
Wowforreel started investigating the video after receiving an online tip from another user called Jasenko where he speculates that an irregular shaped dark spot could probably be a shadow cast by someone or something standing on a massive object.
Anyone can view the "man on the moon" image on Google Moon at 27°34'26.35″N 19°36'4.75″W.
Accordingto the Examiner, it evenresemblesthe ancient Greek statue "Colossus of Rhodes" before its destruction from an earthquake in 226 B.C.
But NASA has announced otherwise stating it is just dust or even an eyelash collected on a film that took that image.
Watch the press conference from NASA.
According to Noah Petro, a deputy project scientist for the Lunar Renaissance Orbiter (LROC) mission that is currently in the moon's orbit, the images are probably taken from either Apollo 15 or 17 which were manned missions to the moon in 1971 and 1972.
Petro confirms this to Pix11 by pointing out that a current LROC does not reveal any lunar feature closely resembling that "man on the moon" image that could cause that pattern on the ground.
He said that his best guess is that something such as dust, an eyelash or even a scratch on the negative was on the film of that photo.
However, this phenomenon is likely attributed to pareidolia, a psychological response to seeing faces or anything that resembles anything human-like which is common to space photos.
Earlier this week, the Rosetta spacecraft captured a "human face" appearance as it entered the orbit of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet.
Dallas Chambers, a radio DJ for KISS FM 96.9 in Amarillo, Texas, captured a video of a UFO last night. He says several people were pulled over on the side of the road watching the “strange blue light dance around the sky of Amarillo.”
He says everyone “checking it out” was “stunned.”
Chambers also posted the video on KISS FM’s website, where he says he watched the light for “quite a while.” He also asks whether the object might have been an RC plane or helicopter.
Chambers writes, “I’d like to think it’s a UFO, and until someone comes forward saying it was them controlling an RC plane or something of that nature, that’s what I’m going to believe it is…”
CAIRO – Archeologists have found a tomb dating back to around 1100 B.C. south of Cairo, Egypt’s Antiquities Ministry said Thursday.
Antiquities Minister Mohamed Ibrahim said that the tomb belongs to a guard of the army archives and royal messenger to foreign countries. Ibrahim said the Cairo University Faculty of Archaeology’s discovery at Saqqara adds “a chapter to our knowledge about the history of Saqqara.”
Ola el-Egeizy of Cairo University said the tomb contains “very nice inscriptions” of the funerary procession and the afterlife of the deceased.
The tomb was found near another one dating back to the same period belonging to the head of the army that was discovered in the previous excavation season. That tomb was larger but much of what remains is mud bricks as “most of its stone blocks were stolen and many of them are in museums all over the world,” said el-Egeizy. Because of the blocks, archaeologists had long known that the tomb existed though it was not uncovered until recently.
Saqqara was the necropolis for the ancient Egyptian city of Memphis and site of the oldest known pyramid in Egypt.
Egypt’s vital tourism industry has suffered in the wake of the 2011 uprising that toppled autocratic leader Hosni Mubarak.
STAR-GAZING COUPLE SPOT CIRCULAR UFO OVER QUEBEC AUGUST 11, 2014 …… DORVAL QUEBEC CANADA
My girlfriend decided to go out to Millennium Park in Dorval, QC. It’s a nice park with an open area where you can sit and star gaze. My girlfriend placed the bed sheets and blanket that she brought with her right in the middle of the park. The moon was very bright and the sky was semi-polluted where you can still see the stars, but the sky wasn’t pitch black. After about 20 minutes of star gazing, my girlfriend pointed towards the south and said “Hey look, what is that?” I quickly looked where she was pointing only to see a very distinctive circular object. The UFO had a grey base which matched the color of the polluted sky, but it also had a “flaming” orange color on the outer edges all around. What was particularly strange about this UFO is that it was gliding, made no sound, and would change speeds. µ
The UFO was slow from the beginning, but started to gain bursts of speeds every second. It wasn’t a constant speed which was strange. There were plenty of planes flying around with big flashy lights and going at the same speed. The object we witnessed was going slower than the planes we were looking at, but has a very distinctive oval shape, and had an orange/flaming ring on the outside which definitely distinguished itself from any plane we saw. The UFO eventually glided out of sight and that was the last we saw of it.
What started out as a casual sightseeing trip to a historic castle in the Netherlands took a bizarre turn for one Dutch woman, who claims she may have spotted some kind of UFO.
Corrine Federer, 43, a business manager and amateur photographer, was visiting medieval Muiderslot Castle outside Amsterdam last month when she started taking pictures using her camera’s high-dynamic range, or HDR, feature.
“In order to create HDR images, you take three or more exposures at the same time, because you then overlap the images and it gives you the full spectrum of light,” Federer told The Huffington Post. [Top 10 Alien Encounters Debunked]
‘It was completely quiet out. The more I flipped through the frames, it was kind of creepy.’
- Amateur photographer Corrine Federer
Federer took dozens of photos that day, but it wasn’t until sometime later that she reviewed her HDR photos and saw a startling airborne shape in some of the images.
“It was a tubular-shaped object that had an S-shaped fin on it,” Federer said. “If it had been any type of missile, it would’ve had multiple fins, but facing the same direction. We heard nothing. It was completely quiet out. The more I flipped through the frames, it was kind of creepy.”
In HDR photography, several images are captured within a second, with each image using a different exposure level. The images are then combined to create a composite picture with a higher degree of clarity, depth and detail than would be possible with a single image.
Using photographic software, Federer was able to enhance the contrast in one of her images to reveal the object seen in the photo above.
Federer’s images were analyzed by Ben Hansen, a former FBI special agent and host of the Syfy Channel’s program “Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files.” He believes the images were not faked or manipulated.
“Having reviewed the raw files, there’s no overt indication that the photos have been manipulated with post-editing software,” Hansen told the Post. “The object’s appearance is internally consistent with the rest of the photo.”
Hansen, however, isn’t convinced that the photographs show an aircraft of any kind.
“If I had to place my money on it, I would say that we’re looking at insects,” he said. “We typically see many wing protrusions on insect rod cases, but they do come in the single pair variety, too. It all depends on the shutter speeds and motion of the insects.”
Indeed, insects are often the real culprit behind alleged UFO sightings, according to experts like Larry Engel, associate director of American University’s Center for Environmental Filmmaking.
Insects are a consistent problem for filmmakers and photographers, Engel told LiveScience, “especially with wide-angle cameras or small-format cameras, as each emphasizes or records objects, including dust and bugs, close to the lens.”
Other possibile explanations for the strange image captured in Federer’s photographs include an airplane, a missile test or a weather balloon.
Federer, however, believes it’s possible that the object she photographed could be some kind of UFO, even an extraterrestrial one. “I don’t find it unreasonable to believe that there’s another habitable planet somewhere that has started exploring space,” Federer told the Post. “Maybe they’re more advanced than we are and they’ve come by to see what’s going on here.”
Is de Amerikaanse staat Texas verleden week bezocht door een UFO? Op de sociaalmediasites plaatsten meerdere inwoners van Houston foto’s van een vreemde vliegende schotel. De vrij scherpe beelden tonen een ovaalvormig object met meerdere lichten.
Op een filmpje op Instagram is te zien hoe de UFO door de lucht beweegt. De lokale zender KPRC Houston wijdde een reportage aan het fenomeen.
“Het is gemakkelijk om te zeggen dat het buitenaardsen waren,” zei dr. Carolyn Summers van het Houston Museum of Natural Science. “De truc met UFO’s is om na te gaan of er een andere verklaring mogelijk is voor het vliegende object. Hoe meer mensen het hebben waargenomen vanuit alle mogelijke invalshoeken, hoe groter de kans dat we het kunnen identificeren. Maar er zullen altijd dingen gebeuren waarvoor geen verklaring is, alleen dat maakt het juist interessant.”
Leven in de ruimte? Zeeplankton aan buitenwand van het ISS gevonden
Leven in de ruimte? Zeeplankton aan buitenwand van het ISS gevonden
Aan de buitenzijde van het internationaal ruimtestation ISS zijn zeeplankton en andere micro-organismen gevonden. Dat heeft de Russische vluchtleider Vladimir Solovjov bekendgemaakt na een succesvolle ruimtewandeling van twee kosmonauten.
Volgens de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA hebben Aleksandr Skvortsov en Oleg Artemjev vijf uur en elf minuten in het luchtledige gewerkt. De twee hebben onder meer de Russisch-Peruaanse nanosatelliet NS-1 uitgezet, experimenten weggehaald en geplaatst, uitrusting geïnstalleerd en de buitenzijde van de spacemeccano geïnspecteerd. Aanvankelijk zou het uitstapje meer dan zes uur duren.
Verrassing
Russische missiecontrole ISS (ITAR-TASS)
Een grote verrassing was het nieuws van vluchtleider en ex-kosmonaut Solovjov dat tijdens experimenten afgelopen jaar sporen van zeeplankton en andere micro-organismen zijn gevonden aan de buitenzijde van het ISS. De piepkleine organismen weten te overleven ondanks de afwezigheid van zuurstof, de extreme temperaturen en kosmische straling. “De resultaten van het experiment zijn absoluut uniek,” zei Solovjov.
Hoe het zeeplankton zich aan het ISS heeft kunnen hechten kon Solovjov niet zeggen en moet volgens hem nader worden onderzocht, meldt het Russische persbureau ITAR-TASS. Er is geen plankton aanwezig op de lanceerbasis Bajkonoer in de steppen van Kazachstan. Gedacht wordt dat het zeeplankton via aardse luchtstromingen bij het ISS is aanbeland.
Vanwege de werking van de raketmotoren is de buitenwand van het ISS sterk vervuild geraakt. Vooral de ramen van het ruimtestation zijn toe aan een schoonmaakbeurt.
De Russische stad Mologa verdween in 1941 bij het opvullen van het stuwmeer van Rybinsk. In 1935 stelde Jozef Stalin de eerste plannen op. Na de aanleg van de stuwdam en de bouw van de waterkrachtcentrale kwam er een einde aan het bestaan van de stad.
In totaal moesten 130.000 mensen verhuizen. De meesten vonden een nieuw thuis in Rybinsk. Een aantal mensen weigerde echter de stad te verlaten. Ze sloten zich in hun huizen op, ketenden zich vast aan zware voorwerpen en verdronken samen met hun stad. Er waren ongeveer 300 mensen die op deze manier omkwamen, meldt de BBC. De stad Mologa zonk samen met 663 dorpen, 140 kerken en drie kloosters.
Resten van de stad Mologa (VK.com)
Veel oud-inwoners van de stad varen ieder jaar naar dit ‘Russische Atlantis’. Als gevolg van de recente droogte is Mologa boven het water uitgekomen zodat oude straten, funderingen van de huizen en de grafzerken op het kerkhof weer zichtbaar zijn geworden.
“Hier bevond zich het café en daar waren de school en de kruidenierswinkel,” vertelde Nikolai Novotelnov, die de stad op 17-jarige leeftijd noodgedwongen moest verlaten, aan TV Tsentr. Hij legde bloemen bij de fundering van een kathedraal en nam bakstenen mee voor andere oud-inwoners.
Persbureau RIA Novosti meldt dat veel mensen die ooit in Mologa hebben gewoond, van plan zijn de reis terug naar huis te maken. Onderstaande video is in het Russisch, maar bevat beelden van de stad.
U.S. ARMY SOLDIERS CLOSE ENCOUNTER IN VIETNAM MARCH 16, 1978 ……….. MEKONG RIVER VIETNAM
The main witness who was on vessel security watch on this night and another crewman had both previously seen fireballs crossing over the river. So, on this night he decided to wave his flashlight at it. It crossed to the center of the river, always to the same spot, where they anchored their gravel barges. It sat there for about 10 minutes, just a ball of fire, soon the fire dissipated and the witness saw a disc-shaped object about 30 meters in diameter with a dome on top and a smaller dome on the bottom. The color of the object was silver metallic and it had rotating amber and white lights with a small greenish light on the bottom. It hovered for about 2 minutes and then started moving towards their vessel (a US Army 65ft harbor tug). The disc then turned off its lights and stopped at approximately 10 feet from where the main witness was standing. For some reason he felt no fear. There was absolutely no noise as the upper dome started to shift revealing a window-like opening which covered 1/4 of the dome, an eerie green light illuminates the inside of the craft. Suddenly an occupant peers from the side of the window, then 2 more appear just looking at the witness. He waves at them and they wave back. This went on for about 5 minutes or so. The occupants were pointing at his uniform and rifle, so he put the rifle down. He described the humanoids as about 3.5ft in height, with bluish green skin, large eyes, not almond shaped, but round with bright green pupils, slender bodies with 4 digits on each hand. They resembled small children, with small ears, nose and mouth which never opened. They appeared to be using hand language and were pointing at different items.
The witness was trying to communicate but didn’t know how. So he gestured to them that he was going to get another crew member from below, so he went below and woke the skipper. The skipper didn’t know what the witness was trying to tell him so he came topside and the disk had moved around the rear of the vessel, and the skipper was about to “chew him out” when the disc moved forward. At this point the skipper began screaming and began grabbing for the rifle. The witness fought with skipper, preventing him from shooting at the disc and kept yelling at the occupants of the disc to get “out of range”. Just as soon as the disc moved away from the vessel, the skipper started calming down. The disc then moved up the river and suddenly disappeared at high speed.
A Texas witness at San Antonio reported watching a brilliantly lit UFO moving fast just east of Highway 281 north in the direction of Randolph Air Force Base about 9:30 p.m. on August 18, 2014, according to testimony in Case 59062 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was walking south on Stone Oak Parkway near the Arrow Hill Road intersection when an “extremely pure, brilliant white light” was seen in the sky. The witness quickly ruled out an airplane.
“I realized that the object was not a plane because it had no sound and the brilliant white lights remained as this object continued southward and out of sight,” the witness stated.

“Logically I know I should not be so confident about the shape and size of the object because the object was against the night sky and the display of brilliantly bright, white lights which went around the object should have concealed the object. Regardless I was able to clearly make out the shape of the object.”
The witness believes the pilots of a passenger plane should have also seen the object.
“Just as the object left my sight a passenger plane approached the standard downwind leg on its approach to the San Antonio Airport. There is no doubt in my mind that the pilots would have seen this object in the night sky due to how bright the object was, and the speed in which it was traveling.”

San Antonio is the seventh most populous city in the United States and the second most populous city in the state of Texas, with a population of 1,409,019. Texas MUFON is investigating. Texas has a current UFO Alert Rating of 3 with a high number of recent reports nationally. Texas had 80 UFO reports in July 2014 – the 2nd highest reporting state – while California had 104 reports as the highest reporting state. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels – 1 through 5 – where states with 150 or more reports for the month are rated an Alert 1; states with 100 or more reports are rated an Alert 2; 25 reports or more for the month are rated an Alert 3; 13 or more reports are rated an Alert 4; and those states with less than 13 reports for the month are an Alert 5.
I see the whole Ufology is dead meme is spreading around. Isn’t this suppose to be from dead rockers with peeling face paint on smack? Saying Rock is Dead? Ufology isn’t dead you just are from associating yourself with government spook factories like MUFON and from swimming around in circuses called Exopolitics. Ufology is doing fine you just need to break free from the chains of your own slavery…. If most of Ufology spent time with their heads in the books of the likes of old classic researchers like John Keel or Gray Barker or countless others. Instead of kissing the fat backsides of greasy headed suit wearing preppy goon Ufologists who think their poop don’t stink. Then Ufology might appear alive to you. The sightings and visitations are still happening. You are just part of the wrong clubs obviously. Maybe you might get inspired and Ufology would live. But instead you yell Ufology is dead while you suck on the teats of MUFON and other sold out corrupt Bigelowed institutions. My advice is bugger off and make your own path! Ufology lives! It’s just an old Frankenstein of a beast that likes to party once in a while and break away from the old sold out dinosaur jerks that think they control it.
Ghostly mosaic appears / disappears at Shrub Hill station, Worcester
Mystery surrounds the apparent sudden appearance, and disappearance, of a beautiful mosaic wall with arches at Worcester’s Shrub Hill Station.
London Midland says the baffling account, from a regular train passenger at the station, has left them scratching their heads.
Short of mentioning ghosts or a time slip to puzzle Dr Who, the station operators can only suggest that the witness saw the recently restored waiting room and was mistaken.
But the witness is quite clear on what she saw, and said that other passengers both saw and remarked on the stunning tiled wall, which no one, apparently, had seen before.
The sighting took place on the evening of Thursday, July 31.
Worcester passenger, Rosalyn Golds said: “I spotted something from the train window in Shrub Hill station, at the far end of the station, – the platform opposite the main exit side. It was an absolutely beautiful wall – sizable – of brightly coloured mosaic tiles in red and blue with arches built into it.
” It was highly unusual – I’ve never seen anything like it in a UK station – it was almost Mediterranean. It looked to have been recently uncovered firstly as it hadn’t been there previously; but also due to the strength of its colour. I’m not sure what it was – an old ticket office maybe? The passengers were commenting on how pretty it was and everyone assumed it was being restored.”
But she added: “The next day, however, it had been taken down! There is a gap in the wall where it was and some fencing left round it. I’d be surprised if it had been demolished simply as it really did look lovely.”
London Midland say that nothing can be removed from the Grade 2 listed station, and so the mystery deepens.
A London Midland spokesman, Gerard Burgess said: “We are scratching our heads here; we’ve no idea.
“The station is grade 2 listed so nothing can be put in or taken away. The only thing we can think of is that they spotted the restored waiting room but perhaps arrived back on a different platform maybe ?” – Worcester News
A woman saw a glowing UFO in the sky above Sacramento, California on two separate days.
The witness, Sunda Barker, was walking home on the afternoon of August 9 when she noticed a UFO in the sky. She describes the aerial object as gold and extremely bright. And she states, “It was beautiful. It was radiant. It was just unexplainable.” She immediately began taking photos of the UFO with her iPhone camera.
Barker claims she saw this golden UFO two days later.
Local ABC affiliate KXTV News 10 aired a news segment about Barker’s sighting. Reporter Damany Lewis explains that, in describing the aerial object, Barker “didn’t want to use those three initials: U.F.O.” Like many UFO witnesses, Barker is hesitant to refer to the mysterious object as a UFO because, as she explains, “everyone thinks I’m crazy.”
KXTV News 10 meteorologist Monica Woods suggests that what Barker witnessed was a Sun Dog. She describes this phenomenon as “a halo created when lights interact with ice crystals in the atmosphere.” – Open Minds
Archaeologists have just discovered Greece’s largest ancient tomb. As well as attracting international media attention, the find has also had high-level political interest within Greece – the country’s prime minister, Antonis Samaras, has already visited the dig.
The tomb is located near the ancient city of Amphipolis, and archaeologists have been excavating it for the last two years. While there are still plenty of questions unanswered (who it was made for for example), enough has been uncovered to show that this will be a spectacular site. It’s built on an enormous scale, with marble decoration and frescoed walls.
The tomb dates to the period 325-300 BC, and so is roughly contemporaneous with the end of the reign of Alexander the Great (who died in Babylon in 323 BC). But as the archaeologists have been stressing, romantics shouldn’t get their hopes up that this is the tomb of Alexander himself, the location of which is unknown, but was probably in Egypt. However, given the size and decor, the Macedonian tomb’s owner must have been high ranking and incredibly wealthy.
Anyone who has visited the marvellous royal tombs at Vergina (ancient Aigai, the original capital of Macedonia) will already know that this region of Greece stands out for its impressive burial monuments. But in southern Greece, the famous sites that draw tourists tend to be public and religious buildings such as temples. This discrepancy points to what’s so interesting about Macedonia, and what sets it apart from other parts of Greece. Read more at The Conversation
This video will show that the history of Egypt dates much farther back in time than Egyptologists admit. Rather than culture arising there 5000 years ago, add at least 7000 to that. The people that existed before the pharaohs we call the Khemitians, and they had advanced machining technology.

"Nog 6000 plekken in Mexico waar iets bijzonders in de grond zit"
“Nog 6000 plekken in Mexico waar iets bijzonders in de grond zit"
Grote opwinding in Mexico vanwege de vondst van een Mayastad in het oerwoud. Hij ligt niet ver van de beroemde ruïne-stad Chalakmul in het zuidoosten van Mexico. Het gaat om een conglomeratie van grote gebouwen, gegroepeerd rond een aantal pleinen. Het zal naar verwachting nog wel een aantal jaren duren voordat toeristen erheen kunnen.
Waarom is de Mayastad nu pas ontdekt? “Ze hebben het gewoon over het hoofd gezien,” zei NOS-correspondent Cees Zoon in het Radio 1 Journaal. “Het zuiden van Mexico bestaat uit tropische jungle. Daar ligt veel onder verborgen. Ze hebben het geld niet om dat allemaal op te graven, dus dat gebeurt beetje bij beetje. Tegenwoordig krijgen de archeologen steun van satellietfoto’s die ze een beetje in de juiste richting duwen bij het zoeken.”
“Volgens officiële schattingen zijn er ongeveer 6000 plekken in Mexico waar nog iets van grote waarde en omvang in de grond zit,” ging Zoon verder. “Deze stad dateert uit de periode tussen 600 en 900. Het Mayarijk bestond uit een reeks stadstaten die elkaar ook gewoon bevochten.”
Het gekke is alleen dat veel van de steden verlaten zijn door de Maya’s zelf toen ze in grote bloei stonden, aldus Zoon. Lange tijd hebben archeologen en historici zich afgevraagd waarom ze hun steden verlieten. De gangbare theorie is dat het kwam door een combinatie van overbevolking en een tekort aan landbouwgrond.
De stad, die de naam Lagunita draagt, bestaat onder meer uit een ommuurd terrein voor het balspel pelota en een piramide van bijna 20 meter hoog. Eén van de opzienbarendste vondsten in de verdwenen stad is een gevelsteen met een figuur in de vorm van de bek van een monster, in de Mayareligie een symbool van de onderwereld.
Wetenschappers hebben een ongezien geologisch spektakel ontdekt in Taiwan. De riviercanyon van de Daan, die pas volledig gevormd was sinds 2008, is aan een ijzingwekkend tempo aan het verdwijnen. De geologen schatten dat de rivier de kloof binnen de vijftig jaar volledig opgeslokt zal hebben. Dat meldt de BBC.
Om de drie- à vierhonderd jaar wordt het westelijke heuvelgebied van Taiwan opgeschrikt door stevige aardbevingen. De kloof van de Daan is het gevolg van de Jiji-aardbeving, die in 1999 een tien meter hoge rots naar boven duwde. In 2004 begon de rivier die natuurlijke dam te overwinnen. Het water en materiaal dat langs de rivierbedding werd meegesleurd, sneden een nieuwe kloof uit die tegen 2008 1,2 kilometer lang en 20 meter diep was.
Geologen van het GeoForschungsZentrum in het Duitse Potsdam ontdekten dat de canyon nu met eenzelfde snelheid alweer aan het verdwijnen is. Ze denken dat de rivier, die geregeld zeer heftig buiten haar oevers treedt, de kloof binnen de vijftig jaar van de kaart geveegd zal hebben. Dit snelle proces zou kunnen verklaren waarom er geen bewijs overblijft van vorige aardbevingen in de regio.
Grand canyon De onderzoekers, die hun bevindingen publiceerden in het vakblad Nature Geoscience, zijn opgewonden over hun vondst. De formatie in Taiwan staat bekend als de Grand Canyon van de Daan en vertoont volgens geoloog Kristen Cook gelijkenissen met haar kolossale naamgenoot in Arizona. Deze ontdekking laat de wetenschappers toe in sneltempo gade te slaan hoe een formatie erodeert. "We verwachten dat het proces hetzelfde zal zijn als in de Grand Canyon, maar versneld", aldus dr. Cook.
Toen ze van 2009 tot 2013 aan de universiteit van Taiwan werkte, bezocht dr. Cook de vallei 51 keer. Elke twee maanden deed ze gedetailleerde GPS-metingen en ze maakte een time-lapsefilm. Twee keer per jaar mat ze de vorm van de hele canyon met een laserscanner.
17 meter per jaar Deze metingen onthulden de snelste erosie die geologen ooit zagen. De kloof wordt vanaf zijn stroomopwaartse uiteinde opgeslokt aan een tempo van 17 meter per jaar. Deze sneltreinvaart is een gevolg van de relatieve zwakte van het gesteente en de regelmatige overstromingen, veroorzaakt door tyfoons.
De wetenschappers identificeerden bovendien een volledig nieuw erosiemechanisme, dat ze 'downstream sweep' hebben genoemd, of stroomafwaarts wegvegen. Het proces ontstaat wanneer het al water van de brede riviervlakte plots als door een trechterhals in de kloof moet. Dat veroorzaakt scherpe bochten in de stroming, die het gesteente aan het uiteinde van de kloof meesleuren.
Amerikaanse astronomen zijn erin geslaagd een middelgroot zwart gat met een ongeziene nauwkeurigheid op te meten - en zo het bestaan van deze mysterieuze objecten te bewijzen. Volgens Science Daily hanteerden de wetenschappers een techniek die nooit eerder gebruikt werd. Het zwarte gat dat ze ontdekten, is ongeveer 400 keer zo groot als onze zon en bevindt zich op 12 miljoen lichtjaren van de Melkweg.
Het heelal is bezaaid met ontelbare zwarte gaten, objecten met een massa die zo dicht is dat zelfs licht niet aan hun zwaartekracht kan ontsnappen. Zwarte gaten zijn bijna allemaal onder te verdelen in twee klasses: grote en superzware zwarte gaten. Die eerste soort varieert van 10 tot 100 zonnemassa's en is een overblijfsel van een stervende ster. In de kernen van de meeste sterrenstelsels zijn superzware zwarte gaten te vinden, met een massa van meer dan een miljoen keer onze zon.
Verspreid in het heelal zijn hier en daar nog mysterieuzere objecten te vinden. Deze middelgrote zwarte gaten variëren van 100 tot enkele honderdduizenden zonnemassa's en zijn zo moeilijk te meten dat hun bestaan ter discussie staat. Hoe ze gevormd worden, is niet geweten en sommige astronomen twijfelen of ze zich wel gedragen zoals andere zwarte gaten.
Onzichtbaar Maar nu is een team astronomen van de universiteit van Maryland erin geslaagd met een ongeëvenaarde nauwkeurigheid zo'n middelgroot zwart gat te meten, en zo het bestaan ervan te bevestigen. Hun bevindingen werden gepubliceerd in het vakblad Nature. Het zwarte gat dat de Amerikanen bestudeerden, heeft een massa van ongeveer 400 keer onze zon en ligt in het galactische stelsel Messier 82 in het sterrenstelsel Ursa Major.
Zwarte gaten zijn onzichtbaar, maar astronomen kunnen ze vinden door hun zwaartekracht op andere objecten op te sporen. Sinds 1970 observeerden astronomen honderden objecten waarvan gedacht werd dat het om middelgrote zwarte gaten ging. Maar omdat ze de massa niet konden meten, bleven er veel vraagtekens. "Om redenen die moeilijk te begrijpen zijn, weerstaan deze objecten aan de standaardmeettechnieken", zegt onderzoeker Richard Mushotzky.
En dus probeerden de astronomen van de universiteit van Maryland het op een andere manier. Een satelliettelescoop van NASA nam beelden van individuele deeltjes in de x-stralen die het zwarte gat, M82 X-1 genoemd, uitzond. De intensiteit en golflengte daarvan werd in kaart gebracht. Tussen het materiaal dat rond het vermoedelijke zwarte gat cirkelde, werden twee repetitieve lichtopflakkeringen in een ritmisch patroon ontdekt.
'Mean Mr. Mustard' "De twee lichte trillingen waren als twee stofdeeltjes die vastzitten in de groeven van een vinylplaat op een draaitafel", aldus Mushotzky. "Als de trillingen muzikale beats waren, zouden ze een specifiek ritme produceren, zoals een bossanovamelodie of een deuntje van The Beatles: 'Mean Mister Mustard sleeps in the park, shaves in the dark, try'na save paper'."
In muziektermen is dit een 3:2-ritme. Astronomen kunnen een 3:2-ritme van lichttrillingen gebruiken om de massa van een zwart gat te meten. De techniek werd al gebruikt op kleinere zwarte gaten, maar werd nooit eerder toegepast om middelgrote zwarte gaten te meten.
Zo konden de wetenschappers meten dat M82 X-1 428 keer de massa van de zon bedraagt. Een volgende stap is te achterhalen hoe deze klasse van zwarte gaten gevormd wordt. NASA lanceert over twee jaar een nieuwe telescoop die X-stralen kan vastleggen, de Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer. De wetenschappers uit Maryland hebben alvast zes potentiële middelgrote zwarte gaten geïdentificeerd die de nieuwe telescoop kan observeren.

Tibetanen kunnen overleven op grote hoogte dankzij uniek gen
Tibetanen kunnen overleven op grote hoogte dankzij uniek gen
Een genetische mutatie heeft er 8000 jaar geleden voor gezorgd dat Tibetanen kunnen overleven in de ijle lucht van het Tibetaans Hoogland. Voor het eerst is het gen blootgelegd dat verantwoordelijk is voor de aanpassing. In het Tibetaans Hoogland zou het voor ons moeilijk zijn om te overleven. De hoogvlakte met een gemiddelde hoogte van 4500 meter bevat veel minder zuurstof dan lager gelegen gebieden.
Hoofdonderzoeker Josef Prchal van de Universiteit van Utah toonde aan dat 8000 jaar geleden een mutatie heeft plaatsgevonden in het gen EGLN1. Vandaag de dag beschikt 88 procent van de Tibetanen over de genetische variant. Achtduizend jaar is op de schaal van de evolutionaire geschiedenis een zeer korte periode. Het onderzoek is verschenen in Nature Genetics.
“De bevindingen helpen ons de unieke aspecten van de Tibetaanse aanpassing aan grote hoogte en de menselijke evolutie beter te begrijpen,” aldus Prchal. Hij sprak meerdere keren met Chinese ambtenaren en vertegenwoordigers van de Tibetanen in India om toestemming voor de studie te krijgen, maar telkens ving hij bot. De Tibetanen weigerden om bloed af te staan.
Een collega aan zijn universiteit bleek de Tibetaanse nationaliteit te hebben en wilde wel meewerken aan het onderzoek. Toen hij ook een steunbrief van de dalai lama kreeg, was hij in staat het Tibetaanse vertrouwen te winnen en meldden 90 vrijwilligers zich aan om bloed af te staan.
Door een lager zuurstofgehalte wordt het bloed dikker, een reactie om afstervend weefsel te voeden. Hierdoor kunnen complicaties zoals hartfalen optreden. De genetische aanpassing zorgt ervoor dat de Tibetanen beschermd zijn tegen deze overreactie van het bloed. Met de opgedane kennis kunnen volgens Prchal ook andere ziektes waaronder kanker beter worden begrepen.

She also provided key insights to early days of the ongoing UFO Cover-Up. June worked at Wright Patterson AFB between 1942 and 1952 in top secret laboratories. After becoming friends, in her last days, June Crain chose to reveal her life story to James. Her remarkable history is captured in his book TELL MY STORY – June Crain, the Air Force & UFOs.
We hope to announce the rest shortly, so stay tuned…we’re working on something really exciting.
The 2015 International UFO Congress is not one to be missed! Make sure to head over to UFOCongress.com for all the information on the event, rates, travel/lodging, and more. Don’t forget if you’re interested in becoming a vendor or submitting a film for the EBE Film Festival, contact us here.
Open Minds UFO Radio: Frank Kimbler teaches Geology and other earth sciences at the high school and college level at the New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell. Upon moving to Roswell, Kimbler decided to put his skills to use to try and find physical evidence of the alleged UFO crash in the nearby desert. He has since found several pieces of metal and plastic that he finds very interesting. One piece of metal has undergone isoptic analysis that has shown the piece may have been manufactured off-planet. We catch up with Kimbler to find where he is in the testing of his materials, and to find out about his new discoveries.
Kimbler will be a speaker at the 2015 International UFO Congress. Find out more here.

Richplanet TV - The Human Mutilation Cover Up - FULL MOVIE
Gepubliceerd op 19 mrt. 2014
Please visit Richard D Hall's website RICHPLANET.NET http://www.richplanet.net/starship.php to see all his past shows, and so much more, covering all types of alternate issues that the mainstream refuses to acknowledge. Fantastic work by Richard D Hall. A must watch! The phenomenon of animal mutilation is difficult to explain in conventional terms, and has been linked for decades with UFO's, because strange lights are sometimes witnessed in proximity to sites where animal carcases are found. But have human beings suffered similar attacks? This film attempts to answer this very controversial question. Rumours about human mutilation have circulated the UFO community for years with some people claiming to have had contact with a military group which is used to acquire the corpses of victims of human mutilation. In the film we reveal the testimony of a black ops soldier, who was employed by a secret NATO "find and secure" military team. Their job is to search for and then protect sites where human mutilation has taken place. This is the FULL MOVIE.

“GOOD MORNING, VIET NAM!” THE LIFE AND DEATH OF ROBIN WILLIAMSby Jerry Mazza.
I didn’t want to grieve in the dark after I was smacked with the headline of Robin Williams’ suicide. I enjoyed him too much. So I turned to finding the best stories that highlighted his life. It begins with Williams graduating from Redwood High School in Marin County into the world of funniness. His classmates couldn't help themselves: They voted him both "most humorous" and "least likely to succeed." Good gag. Unfortunately, he topped them. Williams became one of the world's most successful entertainers, an actor and comedian whose energy animated characters who, like himself, seemed to be spinning hilariously out of control — sometimes into dark places that only the "most humorous" can understand.

LARGE UFO PHOTOGRAPHED BEHIND CLOUD COVER OVER SOUTHPORT SAND DUNESby Pat Regan.
This afternoon I was talking a stroll with my son Jason on the Southport shoreline. We always tend to take our cameras along, so on the way back I snapped a few shots of Jason on the sand dunes. I was facing due east away from the sea and towards the Ormskirk direction at the time that I took the photograph. Later on when I downloaded the images to my PC I noticed that a dark and apparently rather large, ‘rectangular-shaped’, UFO was in one of the shots to the right of Jason. More...

UFOS POSE NO THREAT TO AIRCRAFT CLAIMS CHILEAN CIVIL AVIATION DEPARTMENTby Leslie Kean.
A recent high level meeting at the headquarters of Chile's Civil Aviation Department will likely be the envy of those Americans desiring open government participation in UFO investigations, rather than the familiar blanket dismissal. Click here to enlarge top photo. The question of whether UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena) pose any danger to civilian and military air operations was up for discussion. An official video about the event (the first 4 minutes), posted on Friday, is telling. You don't need to understand a word of Spanish to take note of the serious expressions on the faces of the participants. More...
COUNTDOWN TO CONTACT 2014: VANCOUVER UFO CONFERENCEby Jon Kelly.
In what is anticipated as the most exciting Ufology conference of the year “Countdown to Contact 2014” will feature leading researchers, contactees and authors focused on extraterrestrials, the dimensional ecology of the omniverse and consciousness. Cutting-edge information about “the most important story never told” will be presented on Saturday, September 13, 2014, from 9:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. (PDT) at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel. Featured speakers at this event will include Geri De Stefano, Ph.D., Samantha Mowat, Charles William Vanderbyl and Jonny Enoch. More...
VIDEO: ROBERT STANLEY - MEGALITHIC MALIBU SPHINX, BRAHMA, BUDDHA AND UNDERWATER MALIBU SPACESHIP LINKED TO ARCHONIC 9500 BC EARTH-MARS CATASTROPHEBy Alfred Lambremont Webre.
Vancouver, BC – In an ExopoliticsTV interview with Alfred Lambremont Webre, author Robert M. Stanley describes his discoveries of megalithic Sphinx, Brahma, and Buddha-like monuments on a Malibu, CA mountaintop. Mr. Stanley links these megaliths with an underwater Spaceship-like structure off-Malibu, CA. he discovered in 2010. In the interview, Mr. Stanley’s finds are connected to an archonic 9500 BC solar system catastrophe that decimated both Earth and Mars.. More...
STRANGE HUMANOID ENCOUNTERS WITH TRANSIENT VISITORSby Scott Corrales.
At some point in the 1990s I had a conversation with Dr. Rafael A. Lara Palmeros, director of research for Mexico’s C.E.F.P organization regarding the motives of individuals who develop an unhealthy attraction to UFO and paranormal phenomena. Dr. Lara mentioned a case involving a certain gentleman from Central Mexico who openly expressed his wish to be “contacted by aliens”, as that would be the solution to all his problems, real or imagined. He went as far as to offer money – not small amounts, ether – to any researcher, contactee or psychic who could make his wish come true. More.

THE NEW YORK LIGHTS OF JULY 26, 2014by Cheryl Costa.
Saturday, 26 July 2014, was a relatively clear night, perhaps that why so many folks witnessed the New York Lights. The pattern of fireball sightings covered a flight path spanning from Long Island, NY to Ontario, Canada. The New York Lights were first noticed by various folks in Long Island.

This last weekend I attended the “Contact In the Desert” event in Joshua Tree, CA, along with almost 2,000 other people. Braving temperatures exceeding the one hundred degree mark, all ages and walks of life showed up with an amazing sense of community, with just one thing on their minds: What is the truth of the UFO phenomena?

RENNES-LE-CHATEAU - PLANTARD’S EMPEROR CARD AND THE DIVINE FIRE OF THE CRISTAby Mary Alice Bennett.
It takes some esoteric knowledge to realize that the tarot Emperor drawn by Pierre Plantard is sitting below the tower at Rennes-le-Chateau. With the way the artist has cropped this print, it is difficult to discern the RLC tower. The insignia upon which he sits is different than the imperial eagle on the original Oswald Wirth card, this shape denotes an alchemical type of caduceus and is colored like the serpent rouge, the red serpent of Rennes fame. There are many colorful versions of this card, on Plantard`s black and white print, the areas colored red appear as black, so that is how I chose the reds for the helmet and the fabrics. Plantard`s Emperor has an All-Seeing Eye on his shoulder and he wears the Masonic sun and moon on his chest. More...
DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE, WITHOUT ENOUGH BREADCRUMBS, TO GET HOMEby Paul Schroeder.
Part of the alarming nature of the unknown is its mysterious link to the known; I awaken each night to a lewd exhibition of the merging. I open my eyes and turn to see the digital alarm clock, sitting on the lamp table next to my bed and see: 12:12, and 1:11 am, 2:22 am and 3:33 am and 4:44 am. This distresses me so badly, upon awakening, that I cannot think; just a wave of panic that SOMETHING is awakening me with alacrity, as the calculated odds of awakening each night precisely at those specific times is astronomically impossible.

Witness said: While attending the Contact in the Desert event I left around 6:15 pm on Sunday night to get some dinner from the local Sonic drive-thru. I ordered my food and paid the woman at the window. As she handed me my change I noticed this dark ball in the sky straight ahead of me. At this point it was 6:38 pm. Watching it for only a moment I inferred that it wasn’t any kind of bird or aircraft that I’m familiar with, so I grabbed my cell phone and immediately started filming. I zoomed in to catch the object on film, and the girl at Sonic opened her window to inform me they were just waiting on my sandwich to be done. I dropped the phone as she talked to me, but focused in on the flying object as soon as she left again. I watched this small spherical object fly just over the power lines, slowly, but consistently. I noticed a slight aura or field of sorts around the craft with my own eyes, and the object seemed to be rotating. When I was watching it I felt a great sense of calm, despite the unknown nature of its appearance. I followed this object with my cell phone just until that Sonic girl handed me my food. After I left the drive thru window I tried finding the object again to record its path some more, and then I noticed it had greatly descended in altitude. When it dropped below where the power lines were, the color of it became camouflaged against the valley’s mountain line and I could no longer follow it.
Glowing UFO over Perry Hall, Maryland on 2nd August 2014
Glowing UFO over Perry Hall, Maryland on 2nd August 2014
New interesting video footage of a bright glowing UFO light recorded in the sky above Perry Hall, Maryland on 2nd August2014.
Witness said: In Perry Hall, I was working on laptop from my car. I saw this object out of the corner of my eye. There was a big lightning storm moving in from west when it appeared in clear skies of the east. I thought maybe it was a remote-control airplane, but it would have been very large at the apparent distance it was at, and it climbed straight up at the end. I wasn’t sure if an RC airplane could do that. I videotaped it on my cellphone, but didn’t realize it was still in view when I stopped recording. Later when showing the footage to a military friend of mine, I noticed it reappeared at the end going straight up behind a tree – hadn’t noticed at the time. Military friend said it didn’t look like a drone. Just curious what it was – it was interesting to watch.
Tijdens het blussen van een bosbrand net buiten Vancouver in de Canadese provincie Brits-Columbia is een onbekend vliegend object vastgelegd op video. Dat meldt nieuwsorganisatie Castanet. In het filmpje is achter de wolken een helder object te zien dat van links naar rechts beweegt.
De UFO schoot tijdens de bosbrand uit de wolken boven een berg bij ons in de buurt, aldus een getuige. “Ik keek op internet naar een video van de brand en zag plotseling een UFO. Ik heb geen idee of iemand anders dit ook gezien heeft. De meeste mensen waren denk ik vooral bezig met de brand.”
Na 25 seconden in het filmpje schiet de UFO uit een wolk recht boven de berg, om vervolgens in een andere wolk te verdwijnen. “Ik was verbaasd en verrast toen ik het zag,” zei de getuige. “Het object liet een dunne streep achter toen het uit de wolk kwam. Voor mij is het daarom duidelijk dat het geen beeldartefact of effect van een lichtfenomeen is geweest.”
“De UFO was maar een paar seconden te zien,” vervolgde de getuige. “Ik neem aan dat er nog meer beelden van zijn. Toen ik de redactie van de website belde met de vraag of ik de rest van het beeldmateriaal mocht bekijken, werd er afkeurend gereageerd. Misschien had ik niet het woord UFO moeten gebruiken.”
Hoewel er geen officiële verklaring is voor de herkomst van de UFO, denkt analist Marc Dantonio van het Mutual UFO Network dat het misschien een bolide – een felle meteoor of meteoriet – is geweest.
Een oplettende YouTube-gebruiker zag nog iets anders in de video. Joe Edwards merkt op dat rond 0:32 iets donkers van rechts naar links door het beeld schiet. Het object beweegt in een oogwenk van de rechterkant van het beeld naar de linkerkant. In eerste instantie zou je denken aan een insect, maar het lijkt achter de bomen en een telefoonpaal langs te schieten.
On a chilly Saturday night in November 1974, three teenage boys lit up a Carbondale, PA silt pond and sparked a UFO legend that still glows 40 years later. The boys, including Robert Gillette Jr., reported to police on Nov. 9 they saw “a red, whirring ball fly over Salem Mountain and into the mine pond.” What would become known as the “Carbondale UFO” drew police officers, military, UFO enthusiasts and curious spectators from across the country. The glow lasted nine hours. After two days, a diver emerged from the murky waters with nothing but an old railroad lantern in hand. Twenty-five years later, Gillette admitted throwing the battery-powered lantern into the pond to scare his sister, but the legend lives on. The city plans to mark the upcoming 40th anniversary of the “close encounter” during the Pioneer Nights – Ethnic Heritage Festival with the Carbon D. Alien Regatta on Saturday. Alex Kelly, co-owner of Icon Technologies, grew up down the road from the silt pond. He doesn’t remember any UFOs or little green men but he does recall the “chaos the next day.” “There were cars everywhere, we couldn’t get out of our driveway,” he said. A Scranton Times reporter described seeing licenses plates from 17 states and Canada at the pond. A story published on Nov. 12, 1974, reports that crowds showed up from New York and Connecticut. Every regional newspaper, radio and television station was live from the scene including a three-man news crew from Philadelphia. UFO specialists from New York, New Jersey and Northwestern University in Illinois investigated. A lengthy report by Matthew J. Graeber from the UFO Research Investigation Center in Philadelphia is still on file today at the Carbondale Historical Society. Police manning the overwhelmed phone lines reported calls from as far away as England. People of all backgrounds and occupations surrounded the pond behind Russell Park, making the light in the water the lesser of then-police chief Francis Dottle’s worries. He was more concerned about the masses on the shore. Kelly said believers and non-believers of the legend are separated into a few groups. Some believe the glow was caused by a lantern thrown into the pond. Others insist a craft from outer space landed in the small pond and the government covered it up. One popular theory is that the illumination came from a fallen spy satellite, maybe from Russia, maybe from the United States, he said. Jim Racht, also a co-owner of Icon Technologies, said, “People either roll their eyes or say, ‘Yeah, they took something out of there.’” Involved with the Carbondale Historical Society and the Route 6 Task Force, Kelly and Racht began researching the event after an interview for WVIA’s “My Town” documentary about the city. Kelly said when Michele Bannon, city clerk, suggested including the UFO landing in the town’s history, the two men raised their hands and got to work. One question they asked themselves was if there was a UFO, who drove the craft? Shortly after the documentary premiered in 2012 the two men started the website, carbondalien.com. The site features old and new photos of Carbondale doctored to include the life-sized green extraterrestrial plastic figure, which they took to the WVIA documentary premiere. A comprehensive history of the lore is also on the site. In Racht’s 2010 book about the history of Carbondale, he dubs the incident the “Birth of a Suburban Legend.” Sitting in their office next to a nearly five-foot-tall green extraterrestrial-looking figure wearing a white T-shirt, Kelly and Racht said one thing that most Carbondale residents agree that a flat bed truck hauled something covered by a blue tarp away from the scene all those years ago.

Nick Redfern joins Dr. Rita Louise on Just Energy Radio where he reveals information regarding mysterious murders that have occurred to individuals who investigate the UFO phenomena as well as individuals who have been witnesses to the actual events.
An aircraft enthusiast observed three UFOs over Wales, near the English county of Shropshire, on the night of Wednesday, August 13.
The witness, Mervyn Davies, is a model aircraft enthusiast and the founder of the Oswestry and District Flying Club. He noticed the first UFO at approximately 9:45 p.m. from his bedroom window. The bright white light led Davies to believe he was watching a helicopter. But after observing the UFO through binoculars, he could see the object was “liked a banana shape, with both its points facing down, like in an arch.” In addition to the bright white light, Davies says he also observed red and green lights coming from the UFO.
He describes to the Shropshire Star that this UFO “climbed very slowly into space and then just stopped there.” Based on the object’s appearance and behavior, Davies is convinced that this UFO was not a helicopter or a plane.

After the first object “rose into space,” the witness describes two other bright objects emerging from or near the initial UFO. These two additional bright white lights reportedly shot across the sky at incredible speeds. Davies estimates the objects were traveling five times faster than a jet normally flies.
Davies observed the UFOs for approximately thirty minutes before he took his dog inside the house. When Davies returned, the lights were no longer visible.
The witness is perplexed by what he observed. He explains to the Shropshire Star, “I know what aircraft can do because I do the model flying club and I go to all the air shows such as at Welshpool and Cosford and these were definitely not normal aircraft.”
Did King Kong inspire the myth of the Loch Ness monster?
They are the 20th Century’s most monstrous icons and have sparked fear and fascination from the Highlands to Hollywood.
But now it has been claimed that King Kong gave birth to the myth of the Loch Ness monster.
New research from America’s Columbia University suggests the sightings in northern Scotland were triggered by the release of the 1933 classic, which, along with the giant rampaging gorilla, also featured a long-necked, hump-backed lake creature.
Author Daniel Loxton says the first reported sighting of a ‘plesiosaur-like dinosaur’ in the Loch was made by Londoner George Spicer in August 1933 – when King Kong was playing to packed cinemas in the UK.
Mr Loxton said: “Previous witnesses had reported splashes or humps in the water, but Spicer reported a close-up view of a long-necked creature that could have been lifted right off King Kong’s Skull Island.
“Indeed, I believe that is what happened.
His yarn gave rise to many other sightings, making the “plesiosaur” a favourite explanation for Nessie throughout the 20th Century.”
The following year, a photograph of the Loch Ness monster caused a global sensation.
The shadowy picture became the definitive image of Nessie until the 1990s, when it was proved it had been created by attaching a cut-out dinosaur head to a toy submarine.
Marine biologist Adrian Shine, who has studied the Loch for more than 40 years, backed Mr Loxton’s theory.
He said: “I believe that King Kong was the main influence behind the Jurassic Park hypothesis at Loch Ness. Before Spicer’s sighting there were no long-neck reports at all.” – NZ Herald
The open-air holding pen dubbed “a human zoo” outside the courthouse is just part and parcel of living in the King Country town of Te Kuiti on New Zealand’s North Island. But the sight of it has shocked justice advocates around the country who have described the outside holding area as “barbaric” and “positively Victorian”.
Retired defence lawyer Peter Williams QC called the practice ‘humiliating’ and ‘absolutely barbaric’. “How the justice department can justify a holding pen is just unbelievable, it’s beyond imagination … just absolutely wrong,” the lawyer of 60 years experience said. “Whoever is responsible for it should be dealt some type of discipline and the thing should be dismantled and the proper remand rooms or accommodation put up to civilised standards.”
Wellington human rights lawyer and member of the NZ Council for Civil Liberties Michael Bott said the cage ‘almost has an element of theatre about it’. “In many ways the cage on a street sounds like it’s barely a step removed from the stocks a couple of hundred years ago which were used to shame people … it’s positively Victorian.” Bott said not all the people in the cage were convicted of a crime either which would appear to breach people’s privacy. He said it was a clear breach of S23(5) of the Bill of Rights Act which states ‘everyone deprived of liberty shall be treated with humanity and with respect for the inherent dignity of the person’.
“Not everyone who is bailed is convicted … it just seems bizarre.” Roger Brooking, who has 15 years experience working in the justice arena, was gobsmacked. “It’s totally weird. I have never seen anything like that before. I had no idea there was a human zoo for offenders in Te Kuiti. I think it’s disgusting, quite frankly. This is something you would see in a third world country, or something out of the middle ages.” Tony Fisher, general manager of district courts, said the Ministry of Justice had received no negative feedback about the “secure entranceway”. – Stuff
Johnstown, PA – This is probably useless information but when I was a kid in the 70′s and told people what I saw, They said I was dreaming.
There were beings who came into my bedroom and stood on the porch roof outside my bedroom at night. I would cry, please stop! They were about 3 feet tall and my lived near a farm. My Dad told me they were stray cats because of the triangular face. They weren’t cats!
I wasn’t allowed to watch TV for a long time because my parents thought the television shows were giving me the “bad dreams”!
The closest neighbor was 200 yards away and asked me why my night light was so bright. I only had a little Christmas tree light. She said it was so bright, she was concerned that the house might be on fire but she could tell it wasn’t fire. Just a bright light.
I was born in 1970 and we moved out of that house in 1979 and I never saw them again but I know what I remember. I’ve been trying to tell myself it was dreams for 35 years. I know it wasn’t dreams.
Like I said, useless information after 35 years but it feels good to tell somebody who won’t say, “You were dreaming.” And the neighbor who asked about the super bright light wasn’t dreaming either. Thanks, Greg – MUFON CMS
In it, researchers say nearly 15,000 celestial oddities have been spotted since the group began collecting data in 1989.
“Coincidentally, this almost exactly matches the total number of UFO reports collected and analysed by the United States Air Force Project Blue Book during its official run of less than 20 years from 1952 to 1970,” said the group in a blog post.
Research co-ordinator Chris Rutkowski says the group’s work doesn’t provide absolute proof about the existence of extraterrestrials, but raises questions.
“This is simply a phenomenon that’s real, that people continue to report,” Rutkowski said in an interview with The Canadian Press Press after the study was released Friday. “And I believe that science should take a better look at what’s going on because the (data) suggests the phenomenon isn’t going away.”
The study shows a growing number of unexplained sightings over the years.
The “hot spot” cities with the most sightings were Toronto, Winnipeg, Vancouver and Calgary.
The majority of sightings were spotted between 10 p.m. and midnight, and usually in July and August.
About three per cent, or 467 cases, were close encounters, including alleged alien sightings and abductions. – The Weather Network
The universe is full of mysteries that challenge our current knowledge. In “Beyond Science” Epoch Times collects stories about these strange phenomena to stimulate the imagination and open up previously undreamed of possibilities. Are they true? You decide.
On Aug. 15, 1977, a 72-second radio signal from space stirred up the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI). Astronomer Jerry Ehman viewed the signal on a computer printout and wrote the word “Wow!” on the sheet, giving the signal the moniker it has today. The signal came from the Sagittarius constellation near the center of the galaxy.

Ehman recalled in an interview with Cleveland’s The Plain Dealer: “It was the most significant thing we had seen.”
The signal, which appeared as the six characters 6EQUJ5, did not have any apparent meaning. It was received by Ohio State University’s Big Ear radio observatory. It caused much excitement, but a similar transmission has not been discovered since, leading many to lose hope that it was an attempt by extraterrestrials to make contact. But it remains a mystery 37 years later, leaving the tantalizing uncertainty—a thread to draw the imagination up into space and onto other worlds inhabited by intelligent life.
The Big Ear was used, starting in 1965, to survey celestial radio sources. Objects in the cosmos, such as pulsars, quasars, and certain nebulas, emit large amounts of radio waves. In the 1970s, it’s focus shifted and it became the first device to constantly survey radio waves from space in search of extraterrestrial communication. Though radio waves are emitted by many objects in space, the Wow! signal was very unusual—in exactly the ways we’d expect a message from aliens to be unusual.
It was resonating at 1420 MHz, on the hydrogen line. “Hydrogen line” refers to a frequency that is said to be the most likely for communication from intelligent extraterrestrial life. In 1959 Philip Morrison at Cornell University and Frank Drake at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory independently recognized this likelihood, explains the SETI website.
“They reasoned that more advanced civilizations would reason that young civilizations (like ours) might already be listening there,” according to SETI.
The hydrogen line is named as such because it is the frequency of the waves emitted by neutral hydrogen atoms. The International Telecommunications Union protects this frequency to avoid “noise” on it from earthly sources. Astronomers have used it in their studies for such purposes as making maps based on emissions from hydrogen atoms in space.
The Wow! signal’s strength and shifts in intensity along the hydrogen line make it a likely candidate for extraterrestrial communication.
Brian Dunning said on Skeptoid: “If we ever do receive a deliberate alien transmission, Wow! was exactly what we’d hope and expect to find.”
There is no shortage of shocking stories of witchcraft and murder from the African continent…but the following article out of Malawi may suggest something different. Is it possible that this was a case of abduction & human mutilation?
Grief engulfed the family of the Chimwenje and surrounding residents in central Malawi district of Dedza after their 11-year-old boy who went missing some four weeks ago was found dead but without his private parts, tongue and eyes.
The 11-year-old boy went missing on 19th July and according to his father, Sam, he was suspected to have been abducted by some unknown people.
The father said his child was discovered dead on August 16, almost a month, in Dedza Mountain by some woman who had gone there to fetch firewood.
“The body was found in a complete decomposed state but without private parts, eyes and tongue,” explained the father.
Chimwenje said it is believed his son’s abductors drove the boy to the mountain and parked the vehicle at the towers before taking him to a place where they gouged his eyes and removed his tongue and private parts.
While confirming the sad development, Dedza Police Station Public Relations Officer Edward Kabango said it would be difficult to ascertain whether the boy assailants indeed removed his said organs because of the state in which the body was found.
“When we went there we found that the body was in a complete decomposed state and it is difficult to determine if the body had those organs missing,” said Kabango.
The police spokesperson said due to the decomposed stated of the body they buried it right at the same scene where they found it.
But the father insisted that they checked their child’s body and confirmed that the said parts were missing.
“I think the police must learn to tell the truth, they are very much aware that the body had no eyes, no private parts and no tongue what are they up to? When we were checking we were actually together with them,” explained Chimwenje.
This sad development comes barely days after two other similar incidents which occurred on August 15 and July 31 in Mzimba and Chikhwawa respectively.
In Chikhwawa, a nine-year-old girl was murdered and had her private parts and some of her flesh removed from buttocks and upper leg while in Mzimba unknown person raped a seven-year-old girl before strangling her and damping her in a forest where she was reportedly fetching firewood.
Meanwhile, in Chikhwawa five people have been arrested by police in connection with the incident, according to Chikhwawa Police spokesperson Sunday Ngulube. – Nyasa Times
Conspiracy theories about life on the moon persists 45 years after the lunar landing(Getty)
It's a conspiracy theory that won't go away: that life exists on the Moon and government agencies are keeping the truth from coming out.
The latest sighting by a keen UFO enthusiast claims that a sighting of a dark shape on Google Moon – the search engine's software that shows a photographic map of the equatorial region of the Moon – is evidence for an alien base on the Moon.
The footage, posted online by a blogger and apparently full-time UFO spotter Scott Waring, shows a dark shape that Waring says is a "pretty amazing structure" – a 'Moon base' used by alien species – and details its precise co-ordinates for other fans of the extraterrestrial to look up: 19°43'02.81" N 20°30'52.97" E.
Waring says: "On the back side alone there is seven to eight right angles. The darkness around the edges seems to tell us that there is a large cavity underneath the structure, under the ground and also along the edges here there is a walled area which tells us there is a cavity there because the wall is to keep things from falling in."
UFO in the Moon
Earlier this year video footage appeared online that showed another lunar object that prompted speculation that aliens had made the Moon their home. The footage, which was also captured by an enthusiast using Google Moon, showed wedge-shaped craft with a distinct V-shape of bright lights inside a tiny crater on the moon's far side – 2 degrees and 34 minutes east and 22 degrees 42 minutes north, at the edge of Mare Moscoviense.
The images can also be seen using Goole Earth, in a small corner of a high-resolution image that Google credits to JAXA, the Japanese space agency whose Kaguya spacecraft took the photo.
But a wider view of the same image shows that there are dozens of such 'craft'.
Experts at Arizona State University, who run the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera, say the sightings are likely to be artifacts from the digital photography software.
Google stores multiple resolution image tiles, and uses a different set of tiles depend on how much you are zoomed in. High resolution tiles have filters applied to them to make them appear sharper. These sharpening filters can create distortions where light and dark regions meet – and can create the appearance of lights or objects that can be interested as shapes that indicate an alien presence on the Moon.
This hasn't quelled the fascination with these images or speculation about a possible alien base on the Moon. The video of the V-shaped anomaly has drawn more than 1.4 million viewers and national news coverage.
Surely this was an alien chaser's dream come true.
UFO mania: Crystal Clear Video of Multiple UFOs Captured In Sao Paulo Brasil – August 2014
UFO mania: Crystal Clear Video of Multiple UFOs Captured In Sao Paulo Brasil – August 2014
Below is a video of a recent UFO sighting that took place in Sa0 Paulo, Brasil in early August of this year. The footage is extremely clear and shows multiple objects that are clearly unidentifiable.
Remember, “UFO” refers to an unidentified flying object, and they are constantly tracked on airport and military radar.
There are plenty of UFO videos floating around on YouTube, with little doubt that many of them are fake. On the other hand, the rate of UFO incidents continues to climb so much that people are witnessing them for themselves. The UFO problem has been examined in detail for a very long time, especially in South America. You can read more about that after the video
How To Decipher Between What’s Real and What Isn’t
Below are a few of many examples of authentic documented UFO encounters. As far as video footage goes, there are some real ones floating around out there. Contrary to popular belief, UFOs are caught on camera all the time, and the best way to decipher between what’s real and isn’t is to actually research the subject for yourself. It’s a serious topic that deserves proper attention.
“The nations of the world are currently working together in the investigation of the UFO phenomenon. There is an international exchange of data. Maybe when this group of nations acquires more precise and definite information, it will be possible to release the news to the world” – General Carlos Castro Cavero, Spanish Air Force General
One of most dramatic of all were two encounters that year on December 16th by the Chilean Air Force:
“Two pilots on a training mission, each flying an F5 fighter aircraft, tracked the object on their airborne radar. It gave a return equal to ten or more aircraft carriers-except this object was in the air, not floating on the water. Each pilot assumed his radar equipment was faulty, until he learned that the other pilot was also getting the same return. Not only this, but ground radar from a nearby airport also picked up the object and confirmed its huge size. The pilots also saw the object with their own eyes. One pilot later said that at a distance of twenty miles, it looked “like a plantain banana swathed in smoke.” The pilots were frightened, having no missiles or weapons. As they approached the massive object, which had been motionless all this while, it took off at an unimaginable speed. All at once, it vanished from the three radar screens.”
“The very next morning the Chilean Air Force scrambled some F5 fighter jets to intercept another very large UFO. The pilots described this one as very bright, and very large. The Chilean Air Force has officially acknowledged these events, but could not explain what had occurred.”
Hereis an NSA document describing a case from Iran.
Brazil (where the above footage comes from) has a number of interesting documented cases, one in particular (for example) happened On May 19, 1986. There was a large portion of Brazilian airspace that was constantly occupied by UFOs. The Brazilian air-force constantly scrambled their jets to get a closer look at what they were picking up on radar. Here is a quote from the Brazilian Minister of Aeronautics, Brigadier General Otavio Moreira Lima:
“At least 20 objects were detected by Brazilian radars. They saturated the radars and interrupted traffic in the area. Each time that radar detected unidentified objects, fighters took off for intercept. Radar detects only solid metallic bodies and heavy (mass) clouds. There were no clouds nor conventional aircraft in the region. The sky was clear. Radar doesn’t have optical illusions. We can only give technical explanations and we don’t have them. It would be very difficult for us to talk about the hypothesis of an electronic war. It’s very remote and it’s not the case here in Brazil. It’s fantastic. The signals on the radar were quite clear.”
More Video Footage
When it comes to real footage of UFOs (unidentified flying objects), film from the 1991 NASA STS-48 Discovery Space Shuttle mission is definitely one at the top of the list. This footage is real, well documented, and has been the subject of rigorous scientific investigation by multiple researchers and institutions. (source)(source)(source)
The video below shows as many as a dozen objects moving in unusual fashion. Apart from that, the most fascinating part is when we see one object at a point near the horizon, as a flash occurs, followed by another object or stream that moves rapidly across the field of view, the object shoots off into space.
Clip of scientists from Norway capturing multiple UFOs on film.
The list goes on, even the Mexican Air Force has released their footage of UFOs from scrambled air craft, it made headlines but was attempted to be debunked by many mainstream media outlets .
Another example of someone who did their research, from the interviews I’ve watched of him he seemed very enthusiastic and passionate about changing the world.

Deliberate Deception: A Case of Disinformation in the UFO Research Community by Peter Robbins
25 jaar UFO-meldingen in Canada: "Vliegende schotel met 2 wezens landde op dak"
25 jaar UFO-meldingen in Canada: “Vliegende schotel met 2 wezens landde op dak
In Canada is een nieuwe studie verschenen over grote vliegende objecten, graancirkels en buitenaards contact. De groep Ufology Research uit Winnipeg heeft de afgelopen 25 jaar waarnemingen van ongeïdentificeerde vliegende objecten verzameld en geanalyseerd, meldt CBC News.
Sinds de groep in 1989 is begonnen met het verzamelen van gegevens, zijn er 14.617 meldingen gedaan. Voor de helft van alle waarnemingen is een (mogelijke) verklaring gevonden. Hoofdonderzoeker Chris Rutkowski benadrukte dat de groep geen absoluut bewijs levert voor het bestaan van buitenaardsen.
“Dit is gewoon een echt fenomeen,” zei Rutkowski na publicatie van de studie. “Mensen blijven waarnemingen doen.” Door de jaren heen worden er steeds meer onverklaarbare waarnemingen gedaan. De meeste objecten worden boven Brits-Columbia en Ontario gezien.
Toronto, Winnipeg, Vancouver en Calgary worden genoemd als echte ‘hot spots’. De meeste mensen zagen onverklaarbare lichten in de lucht. In drie procent van de gevallen waren er daadwerkelijk buitenaardse wezens in het spel.
Vreemdste waarnemingen
Toen een zuster uit Winnipeg op 1 november 1992 thuis kwam van haar werk trof ze naar eigen zeggen twee ‘kleine mensachtige wezens aan’. Ze werd meegenomen naar een ‘hangar’ met diverse ruimteschepen en reisde in één van deze schepen rond de aarde. Kort daarop was ze weer thuis. Toen ze op de klok keek waren er een aantal uren verstreken, aldus de studie.
Op 20 november 1989 zagen een paar mensen op een boerderij net buiten Montreal een fel licht. Ook hoorden ze een hard geluid. In een weiland troffen ze een grote cirkel geplet gras aan. Het gras bleef groen, zelfs nadat het omringende gras was verkleurd en afgestorven.
In 1915 veroorzaakte een ‘nepinvasie’ van vliegende objecten zoveel paniek dat de lichten op Parliament Hill werden gedoofd om ‘niet opgemerkt te worden door de vijand’.
Een vrouw uit Montreal zei in 1977 dat ze een vliegende schotel op een dak had zien landen. In het schip zag ze ‘twee slanke wezens in strakke ruimtepakken’. De wezens en het object verdwenen vervolgens weer.
In 1980 was een tiener uit Duncan in Brits-Columbia zo geobsedeerd geraakt door UFO’s dat hij er zelf één bouwde in zijn achtertuin. Op een dag na een serie UFO-meldingen in de regio zei hij tegen zijn vrienden dat hij zou worden meegenomen door buitenaardsen. “Er is nooit meer iets van hem vernomen.”
RUSSIAN MISSILE BASE ENCOUTERS ALIEN DISC AT NIGHT
JULY 28-29, 1989 ……….. KAPUSTIN YAR RUSSIA
One of the most interesting cases in the KGB file is a multiple-witness CE-I (Close Encounter of the First Kind) at an army missile base in the district of Kapustin Yar, Astrakhan Region, on the night of July 28-29, 1989. The file is surely incomplete, but still offers an interesting glimpse into the maneuverability of UFOs. The dossier consists of the depositions of seven military witnesses (two junior officers, a corporal and four privates) plus illustrations of the object by the observers, and a brief case summary by an unnamed KGB officer. (Neither the author nor the department are identified, but the document is at the beginning of the KGB file on the Kapustin Yar incident). It states in part:
“Military personnel of the signal center observed UFOs in the period from 22:12 hrs. to 23:55 hrs. on 28 July 1989. According to the witnesses’ reports, they observed three objects simultaneously, at a distance of 3-5 km. [2-3 mi.].”
A nearby base reported the UFO from 23.30 hrs. on July 28 until 1.30 hrs. on July 29. The report continues:
“After questioning the witnesses, it was determined that the reported characteristics of the observed UFOs are: disc 4-5 m. [13-17 ft.] diameter, with a half-sphere on top, which is lit brightly. It moved sometimes abruptly, but noiselessly, at times coming down and hovering over ground at an altitude of 20-60 m. [65-200 ft.]. The command of [censored] called for a fighter… but it was not able to see it in detail, because the UFO did not let the aircraft come near it, evading it. Atmospheric conditions were suitable for visual observations.”
The KGB file on the case is obviously incomplete, since there is no data on the jet scramble mission or whether ground or airborne radar detection was also reported. Nevertheless, the hand written descriptions by the seven witnesses from the signal center do provide interesting reading about the flight behavior exhibited by the UFOs. The most detailed communication was submitted by the Officer-on-Duty, Ensign Valery N. Voloshin. A Captain from the telegraph center informed him at 23:20 hrs. that “an unidentified flying object, which he called a flying saucer, was hovering over the military unit for over an hour.” After confirming the sighting with the operation signal officer on duty, Ensign Voloshin and Private Tishchayev climbed the first part of an antenna tower. According to his deposition:
“One could clearly see a powerful blinking signal which resembled a camera flash in the night sky. The object flew over the unit’s logistics yard and moved in the direction of the rocket weapons depot, 300 meters [1,000 ft.] away. It hovered over the depot at a height of 20 meters [65 ft.]. The UFO’s hull shone with a dim green light which looked like phosphorous. It was a disc, 4 or 5 m. [13-17 ft.] in diameter, with a semispherical top.
“While the object was hovering over the depot, a bright beam appeared from the bottom of the disc, where the flash had been before, and made two or three circles, lighting the corner of one of the buildings… The movement of the beam lasted for several seconds, then the beam disappeared and the object, still flashing, moved in the direction of the railway station. After that, I observed the object hovering over the logistics yard, railway station and cement factory. Then it returned to the rocket weapons depot, and hovered over it at an altitude of 60-70 m. [200-240 ft.]. The object was observed from that time on, by the first guard-shift and its commander. At 1:30 hrs., the object flew in the direction of the city of Akhtubinsk and disappeared from sight. The flashes on the object were not periodical, I observed all this for exactly two hours: from 23:30 to 1:30.”
In 1989, at a military base and suspected underground facility near the nuclear test site of Kapustin Yar, members of two army units noticed a UFO which hovered for hours over the arsenal of the base. The KGB files contained the handwritten reports of the sighting. It flew over the stores of the unit and moved in the direction of the missile arsenal. When it hovered over the arsenal, a bright ray appeared on its underside.
Very little was known about UFO investigations in Russia and the republics of the former USSR during the communist era. UFOs were officially labeled “capitalist propaganda” in the 1950s and 1960s. A few scientists such as Professor Felix Zigel and Yuri Fomin documented UFO incidents, but their results were rarely published and circulated mostly in samizdat form. Ufology began to prosper in the early 1980s when “Commissions on Anomalous Phenomena” were established under the patronage of a few academicians.
Stories of secret military UFO investigations began to spread with glasnost, increasing with the break-up of the USSR. Retired military and intelligence officers were now speaking up and offering documents. One collection, covering a 10-year period of military UFO investigations between 1978 and 1988, was sold by its former director, Colonel Boris Sokolov, to American journalist George Knapp and to ABC News. In 1991, the Committee of State Security (KGB) declassified 124 pages of documents of “Cases of Observations of Anomalous Occurrences in the Territory of the USSR, 1982-1990,” covering a total of 17 regions.
Scott Waring, author of UFO Sightings Daily, says, “I was looking over Curiosity Rovers recent photos and found these two photos with a shaded skin in them. Its nice there are two. It make more evidence. The shaded skin is being looked at by a micro camera designed to see grains of sand and tiny details that a normal camera would of course over look. The images show a skin of some kind of tiny organism…insect size. At the bottom of the cocoon, there is an opening where the tiny creature crawled out. This cocoon looks to be about 2-3mm in length, but that is a best guess.
Date of discovery: August 14, 2014
Date of photos: Taken Oct 8, 2012 but received on Aug 14, 2014.
Waring adds, “A similar cocoon was found a while back and was found in a color photo. This may be the same creature, because the photos was taken in 2012, but sent to NASA on 2014. The real question is…if this photo was taken by the rover in 2012, why did the rover send it this week to NASA? Storage of photos for two years seems like a waste of Curiosity Rovers memory, when it can just send the photos to NASA.”
The most widely known period of cargo cult activity occurred among the Melanesian islanders in the years during and after World War II. A small population of indigenous peoples observed, often right in front of their dwellings, the largest war ever fought by technologically advanced nations. First, the Japanese arrived with a great deal of supplies and later the Allied forces did likewise.
The vast amounts of military equipment and supplies that both sides airdropped (or airlifted to airstrips) to troops on these islands meant drastic changes to the lifestyle of the islanders, many of whom had never seen outsiders before. Manufactured clothing, medicine, canned food, tents, weapons and other goods arrived in vast quantities for the soldiers, who often shared some of it with the islanders who were their guides and hosts. This was true of the Japanese Army as well, at least initially before relations deteriorated in most regions.
The John Frum cult, one of the most widely reported and longest-lived, formed on the island of Tanna, Vanuatu. This cult started before the war, and only became a cargo cult afterwards. Cult members worship certain “Americans” (such as John Frum and Tom Navy), who they claimed had brought cargo to their island during World War II, as the spiritual entity who would provide the cargo to them in the future.
Post-war With the end of the war, the military abandoned the airbases and stopped dropping cargo. In response, charismatic individuals developed cults among remote Melanesian populations that promised to bestow on their followers deliveries of food, arms, Jeeps, etc. The cult leaders explained that the cargo would be gifts from their own ancestors, or other sources, as had occurred with the outsider armies. In attempts to get cargo to fall by parachute or land in planes or ships again, islanders imitated the same practices they had seen the soldiers, sailors, and airmen use. Cult behaviors usually involved mimicking the day-to-day activities and dress styles of US soldiers, such as performing parade ground drills with wooden or salvaged rifles. The islanders carved headphones from wood and wore them while sitting in fabricated control towers. They waved the landing signals while standing on the runways. They lit signal fires and torches to light up runways and lighthouses.
In a form of sympathetic magic, many built life-size replicas of aeroplanes out of straw and cut new military-style landing strips out of the jungle, hoping to attract more aeroplanes. The cult members thought that the foreigners had some special connection to the deities and ancestors of the natives, who were the only beings powerful enough to produce such riches.
Cargo cults are typically created by individual leaders, or big men in the Melanesian culture, and it is not at all clear if these leaders were sincere, or were simply running scams on gullible populations. The leaders typically held cult rituals well away from established towns and colonial authorities, thus making reliable information about these practices very difficult to acquire.
Current cults Over the last sixty-five years, most cargo cults have disappeared. However, some cargo cults are still active including:
The John Frum cult on Tanna island (Vanuatu) The Tom Navy cult on Tanna island (Vanuatu) The Prince Philip Movement on the island of Tanna, worships Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, husband of Queen Elizabeth II. Yali’s cargo cult on Papua New Guinea (Madang-region) The Paliau movement on Papua New Guinea (Manus island) The Peli association on Papua New Guinea The Pomio Kivung on Papua New Guinea Theoretical explanations Anthropologist Anthony F. C. Wallace conceptualized the “Tuka movement” as a revitalization movement.
Peter Worsley’s analysis of Cargo cults placed the emphasis on the economic and political causes of these popular movements. He viewed them as “proto-national” movements by indigenous peoples seeking to resist colonial interventions. He observed a general trend away from millenarianism towards secular political organization through political parties and cooperatives.
Theodore Schwartz was the first to emphasize that both Melanesians and Europeans place great value on the demonstration of wealth. “The two cultures met on the common ground of materialistic competitive striving for prestige through entrepreneurial achievement of wealth.” Melanesians felt “relative deprivation” in their standard of living, and thus came to focus on cargo as an essential expression of their personhood and agency.
This is a close-up of an unusual aerial object that was captured on video by a Canadian news crew during their coverage of a forest fire outside of Vancouver on July 17, 2014. | castanet.net
A video shot outside of Vancouver, British Columbia, during a forest fire unexpectedly captured a lot more than firefighting efforts.
On July 17, 2014, Castanet.net, a news organization in Western Canada, posted a video shot in West Kelowna — northeast of Vancouver — featuring efforts to stop the Smith Creek Wildfire.
Here’s the original Castanet.net video report, showing the UFO at approximately 26 seconds.
“In the news piece, a bright object appears from behind clouds above the fire area quickly moving left to right,” according to Castanet.net. The news site revealed the following description from a witness who noticed the unusual aerial object in the video:
Shot out from the clouds above the mountain during a forest fire near our neighborhood. It pulled a wisp of cloud with it as it exited.
A forest fire broke out on the mountain behind us and during the attempt to put it out, this event took place.
I was watching a video online of the fire from a little earlier in the day and I spotted the UFO 37 seconds in. I have no idea whether anyone else has noticed this or not. Most folks would be focused on the fire.
37 seconds into the video the UFO comes shooting out from a cloud right above the mountain and passes through a clear spot back into the next cloud. I was quite startled and surprised when I saw it.
The UFO left a thin trail of cloud vapor as it exited the cloud. This, to me, eliminates any thought that this might be a camera lens artifact or light phenomenon effect.
The event lasted only a few seconds. Judging by the distance I was from the object it had to have been moving very fast. The scene cuts away while the UFO is still visible. I’m left to assume that there must be more footage of it than I saw.
I phoned the website’s news department to ask if it would be possible to see the full footage, but was met with disapproval. In retrospect, perhaps I shouldn’t have mentioned the word UFO.
While no official explanation has surfaced about the UFO, OpenMinds.TV asked Marc Dantonio, chief photo and video analyst for the Mutual UFO Network, aka MUFON, to look at the video. He suggests the object could have been a bolide, a type of very bright meteor that streaks through Earth’s atmosphere.
“I am convinced that this was a really good find,” Dantonio told Open Minds. “It is an Earth-grazer, a meteor that approaches the atmosphere at a shallow angle, and continues on, skipping off the atmosphere back into space. Some of them will slow down enough to become trapped and fall to Earth but they many times just skip on off and keep going.
“This one does indeed show a vapor trail as it moves through, it does come out from behind the cloud, and it moves at a speed completely consistent with Earth-grazers.”
Watch this similar video of a bolide meteor from Mexico in 2013.
There’s one other interesting thing about the Canadian news video that may have been overlooked. YouTube commenter Joe Edwards observed something else in the sky in the same video footage:
“Did anyone notice the very next scene, it seems something dark and very fast flew from right to left across the screen, that was just as interesting,” Edwards wrote. “It occurs at about the 32-second mark.”
This object moves from the far right of the image to the far left, literally, at the blink of an eye. At first, one might assume it’s probably just an insect streaking by the camera. But, depending on how you look at it, it appears to slip behind trees and a telephone pole.
We asked HuffPost video editor Eva Hill to isolate the fast-moving object to see if it could be determined to fly in front of or behind the trees. We’ve included several screen grabs of the object in the following slideshow.

The top two photos are the same…I just color to the structures so that you could see them.
The top and bottom photo is the same, I just color to the structures so you can see them.
First you must know this is not a black and white photo, but an infrared photo. The Mariner 10 had an “8-postition filter wheel.” Each filter allows the camera to take a different kind of photo. The infrared filter is so powerful that if you pour ink onto a typed page, you can see right through the ink and read the words as if the ink never existed. That is what happened to the shadow areas on Mercury in this photo. The shadows hid a honeycomb-like structure that always varies in shape, but its smaller components resembles that of…a honeycomb. Other structures are located near hills and mountains to blend in at a distance. This is why normal photos of Mercury will not have these structures in them.
Infrared filter can see through ink and tinting to allow you to read thewords.
The top and bottom photo are the same, just added color to see the structures.
Long ago, four to five years ago I found a face…so new in appearance on the planet Mercury. It was massive in scale and appeared as if I was looking at the face of a statue here on Earth, but this was tens of floors high. I saved the photo and then a few days later a virus wiped out my whole computer. So it was gone. I still have the image of the face in my head, a black person, big forehead, chubby cheeks and confident. I had to find it again, so as I was looking I found these this particular photo with structures in it. Sure, this one is not the photo I was looking for, but the number of structures in it is staggering. People often misconstrue what an alien structure looks like when they see it…having only their past experience with humanity to build upon, and often those kind of human preferred structures are hard to find. Most alien structures look like black mountains (moon) or giant white mushrooms (moon), so finding a structure we can relate to is difficult.
Top and bottom photo are same, but added orange color to building.
Here I present to you some photos that have exactly what most of you imagine alien structures will look like. There are many buildings tall, short, long, most made to conform to how we see a civilised society. These structures look like they were built recently. They are whole, without breaks or fissures and clean with no dirt or dust blanketing them over time, which tells me…they are occupied.
The photo above and below are the same, I just added color so you can see the building.
And to the aliens on Mercury, I send greetings. Since your structures have some commonality to our own, then there must be other things we have in common. We the people are asking to meet you. Balls in your court. Scott C. Waring

Pyramids under the waters of Cuba were discovered by two scientists Paul Weinzweig and Pauline Zalitzki. They found the ruins of ancient buildings for about a mile below the sea and considered them to be Atlantis.
The two scientists used submarines to found tremendous pyramid structures built of stones weighing hundreds of tons. They found sphinxes, stones that arranged like Stonehenge, and a written language engraved on the stones.
Scientists have processed all of the data and concluded that the surface is perfectly smooth for it to look like glass or ice. The size of the pyramids are nearly three times the size of the pyramids of Cheops.
This city above was discovered in a bay off of Egypt and dates to the 12th Century BC! It had been built on an island in the Nile Delta with intersecting canals. Around the 500s AD, it sank due to earthquakes and floods in the delta. An underwater archaeologist found them in the year 2000. What a find!
Mystery Object Installed on Sea Floor
This object was picked up by an ROV vehicle on the sea floor is of questionable origin and appears to be fastened to the sea floor.
My guess on the one above is some kind of drilling platform underwater or something that we put there.
Underwater river and trees!
This might blow your mind, but under the Black Sea, researchers found an underwater river with trees and waterfalls. If on land, the volume alone would make it the sixth largest river in the world. The rapids, banks and flood plains just like one that is on land. Thirty meters deep they discovered fresh water, then 60 meters deep, salty water, then a river flowing, an island, trees, and fallen leaves. It flows about 115 feet deep with fresh and salty water at varying depths.
Prehistoric Life Below Sea Floor - Still!
Along the sea floor in the Pacific right around the equator, scientists drilled down 90 feet and found life! They expect to find 90% of one-celled life in the sea bottom, but they didn't expect to find it at ancient depths below the surface and thriving. This part of the ocean hasn't seen food sources since dinosaurs roamed the earth!
Ancient City in Gulf of Cambay
A city was found underwater in the Gulf of Cambay off of India and thought to be as old as 9500 years. Found in about 120 feet of water, actually predates the oldest known remains in the subcontinent by 5000 years! The city is 5 miles and 2 miles wide. Researchers recovered bones, pottery, beads and sculpture and carbon dated placed it at 9500 years ago. Looking at the blocks they are astounded. Apparently, buildings of that massive construction did not exist until 4500 years ago. Putting this in perspective, this is older than Egyptian culture, older than Sumerian, older than Chinese.
Underwater Pyramid off Portugal's shores
A yacht owner first sighted something odd under the water off the shores of Portugal. Sonar confirmed this man-made structure. The base was 8000 square meters, and oriented in the cardinal points. They went on to find other structures in the area and all pointing to a culture that possibly built structures in orientation to solstices. Experts say it's still to early in exploration to understand where they came from and what culture put it there.

Scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory are testing an early version of an underwater rover that could one day be used in the search for extraterrestrial life by exploring subsurface oceans on alien worlds.
Time magazine explains that this prototype, called the Buoyant Rover for Under-Ice Exploration (BRUIE), “is operated through satellite link and designed to cling onto the underside of ice with metal tires, transmitting measurements back to scientists and assessing whether the waters host other life-forms.” NASA astrobiologist Kevin Hand told National Geographic, “It’s the first time ever that an underwater, under-ice, untethered vehicle has been operated through satellite link.” A team of scientists recently tested BRUIE in frozen Alaska lakes. But, ultimately, scientists want to send the rover to an icy world like Jupiter’s moon Europa.

The rover reached the Alaskan water relatively easily by drilling through a single foot of ice. Reaching the subsurface ocean of Europa will prove much more difficult, being that experts estimate the layer of ice on that world to be twenty-four miles thick.
Experts believe Europa has two-to-three times the volume of all the liquid water on Earth. Because of its extensive water, Hand and other astrobiologists believe that Europa “provides an incredibly compelling place to go to search for a second, independent origin of life and it’s a place where we might find lifeforms that are alive now, today.”

Although this alien-hunting technology is currently being tested to explore subsurface oceans on other worlds, the launching of any such technology to a moon like Europa is still decades away.
MYSTERIOUS PLANE AND UFO DISAPPEARING OVER SOUTHERN AUSTRALIA
MYSTERIOUS PLANE AND UFO DISAPPEARING OVER SOUTHERN AUSTRALIA
Before It's News)
MYSTERIOUS PLANE AND UFO DISAPPEARING OVER SOUTH AUSTRALIA OCTOBER 1978 ……… NEAR KINGS ISLAND AUSTRALIA
Frederik Valentich.
INVESTIGATORS have shed new light on one of Australia’s greatest aviation mysteries. Almost 36 years to the month that Victorian pilot Fred Valentich vanished without a trace, an independent researcher says there is evidence suggesting the 20-year-old’s Cessna was spotted in the sky over South Australia — attached to a UFO. The Victorian UFO Action group wants help to identify a farmer near Adelaide who reportedly witnessed the 30m craft hovering over his property the morning after Mr Valentich went missing. It is claimed the Cessna was stuck to the side of the craft, leaking oil. The farmer even scratched the plane’s registration number on to his tractor but never came forward with the information because he was ridiculed by the few friends he told. The theory has sparked furious debate as the nation’s leading UFO investigators prepare for a national conference in Melbourne next month. Lead investigator George Simpson, one of the last people to see the plane in the sky, says the farmer, if still alive, might have information to solve the mystery. He conceded there was no proof, but said it was the best new lead for a case that had intrigued Australians for decades. “It’s easy for some to dismiss, but there are corroborating stories confirming that there was a UFO near Adelaide at the time,” Mr Simpson said. Mr Valentich had been on a routine cargo flight to King Island in October 1978 when he disappeared. In his last conversation with air traffic control, he reported an object hovering in front of him and said it was “not an aircraft’’. It was the last thing Mr Valentich said before a strange metallic clicking sound was heard and the transmission stopped. Extensive searches failed to find any trace of the plane or the pilot. “This was an experienced pilot who should have been able to identify another aircraft but was clearly unable to,” Mr Simpson said. Adding to the mystery, an amateur photo taken in the area that evening shows a dark unidentifiable shape in the sky. Investigators are also trying to find a copy of Valentich’s final transmission that was originally aired on Melbourne radio station 3XY. The Valentich case will be among a string of Aussie X-files to be discussed when the Victorian UFO Action group hosts its “Age of Reason” conference on September 6.
NOTE; The above photo was taken off Cape Otway 20 minutes before his plane disappeared.

UFOs Light Up The sky this week in Helena, Montana. UFOs are reported all over the world, and over the week, they made an appearance in the skies above Helena, Montana.
The individual who took the video doesn’t provide any personal information and will only say.. “they have seen similar light shows in the sky around Helena”.
The vast majority are lights at night, and few have video evidence.
The recent discovery of the 3,600 year old Nebra Sky Disk in Germany which provides a clear starmap to the Pleiades star system has once againfueled many debates that the Nordics do share a common ancestor with the Pleiades aliens. Why would they have a detailed star map of the Pleiades?

A Winnipeg-based group compiles UFO sighting data to publish annual reports of UFO activity in Canada. A new report issued by this group looks at UFO sighting reports in Canada during the past twenty-five years.
UFOlogy Research has compiled Canadian UFO reports since 1989 “in an attempt to promote the dissemination of information across the field of ufology.” On August 15, 2014, to celebrate the group’s twenty-fifth anniversary, UFOlogy Research released a special edition of The Canadian UFO Survey that looks at the group’s complete database of sightings, which includes more than 14,600 sighting reports.
CTV News explains that “The study shows a growing number of unexplained sightings over the years, with the majority in British Columbia and Ontario.”

According to the study’s data, thirteen percent of the UFO sightings reported during the past twenty-five years were left unexplained.
(Credit: UFOlogy Research)
The report includes some of the more remarkable UFO sightings from the past twenty-five years. Here is one example:
December 28, 1991 5:40 pm London, Ontario The pilot of a commercial airliner at 33,000 feet was surprised when the Airborne Avoidance Collision radar detected three objects directly ahead of his plane. The objects moved to beside the aircraft at a range of six miles, then followed the airliner. The objects then flew away. Toronto ATC reported the objects on radar as well, though nothing visual was ever seen.
UFOlogy Research director Chris Rutkowski believes, “This is simply a phenomenon that’s real, that people continue to report . . . And I believe that science should take a better look at what’s going on because the (data) suggests the phenomenon isn’t going away.”
Every conceivable niche upon planet Earth has been populated by life forms — on land, in freshwater and the seas, beneath layers of rock far below the earth’s surface, even buried within the formless ooze on the ocean beds and encircling their scorching water-spewing hydro-thermal vents.
Yet, inexplicably, there is one lone but vast ecological niche that has remained totally untouched by such animate activity — the rarefied atmospheric layers above and encompassing our world. True, insects, bacteria, birds, bats, and various other living entities spend varying extents of time in the sky, but there is no known life form that has evolved to live exclusively here, never venturing ground-ward except to die. There are no sky beasts, or cloud creatures — or are there?
In November 1975, a group of six tree-trimmers were driving home from work in a truck in the Sitgreave-Apache National Forest in Arizona, USA. The driver stopped the truck when he noticed that a flying saucer was hovering about fifteen feet above some nearby trees. Travis Walton approached the craft on foot, despite the objections of his workmates. He was then knocked to the ground by a blue and white light. When the men in the truck saw this, they were terrified and sped off down the road leaving him for dead. Once they had calmed down, they returned to that spot and couldn't find any sign of Travis or the flying saucer. Five days later, Travis was returned to earth wondering what had happened to him for the past few days:
On November 5, 1975, six young woodcutters, along with their employer, were working in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, engaged in a tree-thinning contract for the U. S. Forest Service. The forest is located in east central Arizona, and the work area is fifteen miles from Heber.
The story begins at approximately 6:10 P.M., when the men were heading home in a seven-man crew-cab truck. Traveling along a bull-dozed trail, one of the men sighted a gold-colored glow through the thickets. As they rounded a right-hand turn, they saw the source of the glow - a structural object hovering approximately fifteen feet above a clearing and a scant ninety feet or so from the viewers.
Travis Walton, twenty-two, was sitting on the right- hand passenger side of the front seat. When he saw the object, he called to Mike Rogers, the driver and boss of the crew, to stop. Hardly waiting for the truck to come to a complete halt, Walton jumped out and, at a fast walk, approached a woodpile (stacked by the thinners) to get a closer look. As his fellow employees called for him to be careful and come back, he stood and looked at the object, which was at a 60-degree elevation from his position. It had the shape of two "pie pans" or shallow bowls placed rim to rim. A "beeping" sound was heard by all.
Walton stepped back a couple of paces, intending to vacate the vicinity of the craft when his friends were startled to see a blue-green beam shoot out from the bottom of the craft, striking Walton in the upper area of his body, lifting him from the ground with his arms out stretched, and flinging him back to the ground.
Thinking he and the others were in danger, Rogers restarted the truck and left the area. A quarter of a mile away, he stopped and the six men looked back. They saw a light rise from the ground and streak into the north east, originating in the area where they had left Travis. Thinking it was the object, Rogers turned the truck around and drove back to the clearing.
For fifteen minutes the men searched for Walton, covering the near area and calling, but to no avail. Rogers then decided to drive to Heber, the nearest town, and report Walton's disappearance to the sheriff. On the way, they debated what they should tell, doubting that the truth would be believed, but, unable to come up with an acceptable explanation, they told what they had experienced.
On November 10, the six men were given polygraph tests which established that they had not harmed Walton (it had been implied that they had done away with Travis and hidden his remains, despite the fact that Rogers was his best friend of many years standing) and that they had, actually, seen a UFO.
On the night of November 10, at approximately midnight, a call came in to the Grant Neff residence (Mrs. Neff was Travis' sister and at the time the only Walton in Snowflake, Arizona, with a telephone). It was Travis, sounding confused and disoriented, saying he was at a phone booth in Heber and in terrible pain. Neff went to Mrs. Kellett's (Travis' mother) home, picked up Travis' brother Duane, who had come up from Phoenix when notified of his brother's disappearance, and drove at breakneck speed to Heber, where they found Travis slumped in a phone booth. He had a five-day growth of beard and appeared thin but was otherwise apparently all right.
Within hours, Duane drove Travis to his home in Phoenix, intent on keeping him away from the horde of reporters, which had plagued the Walton family during Travis' disappearance, and to obtain medical treatment.
For a short time, Duane Walton was frustrated by the representative of a local UFO group, who sent him to a pseudomedical hypnotist, but he was eventually contacted by the AERIAL PHENOMENA RESEARCH ORGANIZATION (APRO), which called in a team of medical experts.
Ultimately, Walton was given the Minnesota Multi Phase Personality Inventory (MMPI), Rorschach (commonly called Inkblot) Polygraph and Psychological Stress Evaluator tests, all of which established that he had told the truth as he knew it. All of these tests were conducted and interpreted by experts.
Unfortunately, Walton only recalls an hour or two of his five-day absence. He claims to have awoke on a table in a room which he first assumed was a hospital. The ceiling seemed low, there was an oval-shaped metallic-colored apparatus on his chest (his denim jacket and shirt were pulled up), and he was in considerable pain. The "air" in the room seemed oppressive, i.e., warm and damp. It took a few minutes to get his wits about him, and when he became fully aware of his surroundings, he realized he was in no ordinary hospital. Around the "table" on which he reclined were three strange creatures-strange, because they were less than five feet tall, very pale, with large, domed heads, large eyes, small nose, mouth, and ears, and their bodies, encased in tannish orange, seamless jumpsuits, and were very thin.
Upon seeing them, Walton struggled to his feet, and when they approached him with their fingernail-less hands outstretched, he grabbed a rodlike object from an adjacent table and prepared to defend himself. After flailing about with the instrument for a moment or two, Walton was surprised to see the trio file out of the door and turn to the right.
After the creatures left, Walton also exited the room, turning left. Following a curved corridor, looking for a way out, he found a circular room with a chair (which was too small for him but nevertheless he sat in it) with a "screen" on each arm. He touched a lever and the "stars" on the "ceiling" above seemed to move, so he moved the lever back to its original position and decided against further experimentation.
Shortly, a "man," approximately six feet tall, with brown hair and strange golden-brown eyes, appeared at the door which Travis had entered. He beckoned to Travis, and Travis went to him, babbling question after question, none of which were answered. The "man" said nothing, took Travis by the arm, led him out into the corridor or hall, to the right, then stopped, whereupon a section of the wall opened. He had not touched anything. They walked into a small room, the door behind them closed, and seconds later a door opened in front of them. They then went down an incline (apparently out of the enclosure Walton had been in) where Walton found him self in a large enclosure resembling a quarter of a cylinder. There were three or four oval-shaped metallic objects parked there (the same apparent metallic substance as everything else he had seen). He was led by the "man" (who was clad in a blue "jumpsuit" with a clear "helmet") through the enclosure, to another door into a room where there were three other human-appearing individuals-two men and a woman. They resembled the first, except that, although they wore the same clothing, they were without helmets.
They gestured to him to get upon a table. He resisted, but they eventually succeeded in their efforts and Travis reclined; an apparatus resembling an oxygen mask with a black ball attached was placed over his face and he lost consciousness.
Travis awoke about midnight about a quarter mile west of Heber, Arizona. He was lying on his stomach and raised up to watch the curved, metallic hull of an aircraft taking off straight up, reflecting the yellow stripe of the dividing line of the highway below.
What did Travis Walton see? What did he experience? Tests indicate that he has related his experience truthfully. His book The Walton Experience (1978) will tend to illuminate the reader and enable him to make his own judgment. - Coral Lorenzen - APRO
The following report on the final polygraph examination of Travis Walton was actually sponsored by a skeptic, Jerry Black. The test was performed with the latest state of the art equipment, by Cy Gilson, the most highly respected polygraph expert:
4 February 1993
Mr. Jerry Black (Address) Blanchester, Ohio
Dear Mr. Black,
On February 4, 1993, a polygraph examination was administered to Mr. Travis Walton. The purpose of this examination was to determine whether or not Mr. Walton was being truthful in his statement about seeing a UFO and being abducted by the UFO plus other facts surrounding the abduction.
During the pretest interview, Mr. Walton said he had worked for Mike Rogers intermittently for about six years on a seasonal basis. He never socialized with any of the crew.
On November 5, 1975, they had worked a little later than usual trying to meet the contract commitment. By the time they were driving back to town, the sun had gone down but there was some light, like twilight.
As they were driving, he could see a glimmer of light in the trees ahead. At first he thought it may be a downed airplane. The light was unusual. As they neared a clearing he saw the object he called a UFO. This object will be referred to as a UFO throughout this report.
As the truck came to a stop, Mr. Walton got out. Believing it may take off, he walked briskly towards the UFO but slowed his pace before reaching it. He described it as being round and hovering about 20 feet above the ground. He did not go underneath it but stood there looking up at it. He said the UFO started to wobble slightly and make a noise. Mr. Walton said the noise was like a low rumble that developed into a higher pitch that seemed to increase in frequency. At this point he became afraid and decided to go back to the truck. He recalls being hit with an electrifying type of shock that stunned him, leaving him unconscious.
He recalls he slowly regained consciousness. He found himself in a small room that was damp or humid. He had pain throughout his body but mostly in his chest and head. He then saw three creatures he described as being about four feet tall with large, dark eyes. He was lying on some type of table. As these creatures approached him he got off the table. There was some type of shelf near the wal1 where he found a straight pipelike object lying on it. He describes it as being round like a piece of pipe but lightweight. He cannot recall if it was solid or hollow. He picked it up and started to lash out at the creatures to keep them at bay. The creatures left the room by an open doorway, turning right.
Mr. Walton walked to that doorway, looked down a hall and he went left. He walked into another room, trying to find an exit from this enclosure. He did not know if he was in a spaceship or a building. A humanlike creature came into the room, took him by the arm, leading him to another very large room where several more humanlike creatures were. By this time most of the pain was gone. He was forced down on a table and had a mask, similar to an oxygen mask, put on his face. He does not remember anything else until he awoke next to the road, just outside Heber. As he regained consciousness, he looked up, seeing the UFO or one similar to the original one, hovering overhead. As he looked up at it, the UFO sped off into the sky.
Mr. Walton said his story is true. He said accusations made about him are lies. He had not been on any drugs of any kind. He was not hiding out somewhere on the Gibson ranch. He urinated in a jar and this sample was given to Dr. Kandell later that same day. Mr. Walton denies he conspired with Mr. Rogers to perpetrate a hoax to help him get out of the Turkey Springs contract with the Forestry Service.
Two series of questions were asked to cover all the areas we believe were important.
The relevant questions asked and the answers given are as follows:
Series #1:
Question #R1:
On November 5, 1975, in the forest area called Turkey Springs, did you see a large glowing object hovering in the air?
Answer: YES
Question #R2:
While you were standing near that UFOlike object, did you believe you were struck by an energy source emitted from that large object?
Answer: YES
Question #R3:
After regaining consciousness in a small, humid room, did you see nonhuman creatures with large dark eyes?
Answer: YES
Question #R4:
Did you conspire with your brother Duane or anyone else or act alone to stage a hoax about your UFO abduction?
Answer: NO
Series #2:
Question #R1:
Between November 1 and 11, 1975, did you use any drugs, either legal or illegal?
Answer: NO
Question #R2:
Between November 5 and 10, 1975, were you hiding anywhere on the Gibson ranch?
Answer: NO
Question #R3:
Was the urine sample given to Dr. Kandell on November 11, 1975, your first voided specimen following your UFO experience?
Answer: YES
Question #R4:
Was this UFO incident a conspiracy to help Mike Rogers get out of his Turkey Springs contract?
Mr. Walton's physiological responses were monitored during the presentation of these questions by means of a Scientific Assessment Technology's Computer, Model CAPS 700. The following responses were recorded on this instrument's strip chart: relative blood pressure; skin conductance; thoracic and abdominal respiration. Data from three presentations of these questions were respiration. Data obtained for each series, and were subject to numerical scoring and computerbased analysis.
The numerical score of Series #1 was +34. The numerical score of Series #2 was +26. In the system of numerical scoring developed and validated at the University of Utah, total numerical scoring of +6 or more is considered indications of truthfulness.
The computerbased analysis returned a posterior probability of truthfulness of .964 in the first series, and a .961 in the second series. These indicating that charts like these produced in each series, by Mr. Walton, are produced by truthful examinees 96% of the time.
Based on the numerical score of the polygraph charts and the computer based analysis, it is the opinion of this examiner that Mr. Walton was being truthful when he answered these relevant questions.
Thank you, Jerry Black! These examinations clear the air with a thoroughness, an utter finality, which can't be refuted. Cy Gilson used a widely practiced, extremely accurate, stateoftheart method developed and perfected at the University of Utah. This involves a computerized monitoring and analysis of the tracings along with a pointscoring system of the charts applied by the examiner.
In summary: The computer put all three of us near the top of the range designated as conclusively truthful (almost no one ever achieves the theoretical maximum of 1.00), with me at .964 and .961, Mike at .990, and Allen at .993. On the numerical score I was first with +34 and +26 points, Mike had +31 points and Allen had +22 points. - Travis Walton
I looked at the vague but reassuring forms of the doctors around me. Abruptly my vision cleared. The sudden horror of what I saw rocked me as I realized I was definitely not in a hospital. I was looking square into the face of a horrible creature...with huge, luminous brown eyes the size of quarters! I looked frantically around me. There were three of them! Hysteria overcame me instantly. — Travis Walton

UFO Focused 'Light Ray' on Russian Missile Arsenal
UFO Focused 'Light Ray' on Russian Missile Arsenal
In 1989, at a military base and suspected underground facility near the nuclear test site of Kapustin Yar, members of two army units noticed a UFO which hovered for hours over the arsenal of the base. The KGB files contained the handwritten reports of the sighting. It flew over the stores of the unit and moved in the direction of the missile arsenal. When it hovered over the arsenal, a bright ray appeared on its underside.
Very little was known about UFO investigations in Russia and the republics of the former USSR during the communist era. UFOs were officially labeled "capitalist propaganda" in the 1950s and 1960s. A few scientists such as Professor Felix Zigel and Yuri Fomin documented UFO incidents, but their results were rarely published and circulated mostly in samizdat form. Ufology began to prosper in the early 1980s when "Commissions on Anomalous Phenomena" were established under the patronage of a few academicians.
Stories of secret military UFO investigations began to spread with glasnost, increasing with the break-up of the USSR. Retired military and intelligence officers were now speaking up and offering documents. One collection, covering a 10-year period of military UFO investigations between 1978 and 1988, was sold by its former director, Colonel Boris Sokolov, to American journalist George Knapp and to ABC News. In 1991, the Committee of State Security (KGB) declassified 124 pages of documents of "Cases of Observations of Anomalous Occurrences in the Territory of the USSR, 1982-1990," covering a total of 17 regions.
One of the most interesting cases in the KGB file is a multiple-witness CE-I (Close Encounter of the First Kind) at an army missile base in the district of Kapustin Yar, Astrakhan Region, on the night of July 28-29, 1989. The file is surely incomplete, but still offers an interesting glimpse into the maneuverability of UFOs. The dossier consists of the depositions of seven military witnesses (two junior officers, a corporal and four privates) plus illustrations of the object by the observers, and a brief case summary by an unnamed KGB officer. (Neither the author nor the department are identified, but the document is at the beginning of the KGB file on the Kapustin Yar incident). It states in part:
"Military personnel of the signal center observed UFOs in the period from 22:12 hrs. to 23:55 hrs. on 28 July 1989. According to the witnesses' reports, they observed three objects simultaneously, at a distance of 3-5 km. [2-3 mi.]."
A nearby base reported the UFO from 23.30 hrs. on July 28 until 1.30 hrs. on July 29. The report continues:
"After questioning the witnesses, it was determined that the reported characteristics of the observed UFOs are: disc 4-5 m. [13-17 ft.] diameter, with a half-sphere on top, which is lit brightly. It moved sometimes abruptly, but noiselessly, at times coming down and hovering over ground at an altitude of 20-60 m. [65-200 ft.]. The command of [censored] called for a fighter... but it was not able to see it in detail, because the UFO did not let the aircraft come near it, evading it. Atmospheric conditions were suitable for visual observations."
The KGB file on the case is obviously incomplete, since there is no data on the jet scramble mission or whether ground or airborne radar detection was also reported. Nevertheless, the hand written descriptions by the seven witnesses from the signal center do provide interesting reading about the flight behavior exhibited by the UFOs. The most detailed communication was submitted by the Officer-on-Duty, Ensign Valery N. Voloshin. A Captain from the telegraph center informed him at 23:20 hrs. that "an unidentified flying object, which he called a flying saucer, was hovering over the military unit for over an hour." After confirming the sighting with the operation signal officer on duty, Ensign Voloshin and Private Tishchayev climbed the first part of an antenna tower. According to his deposition:
"One could clearly see a powerful blinking signal which resembled a camera flash in the night sky. The object flew over the unit's logistics yard and moved in the direction of the rocket weapons depot, 300 meters [1,000 ft.] away. It hovered over the depot at a height of 20 meters [65 ft.]. The UFO's hull shone with a dim green light which looked like phosphorous. It was a disc, 4 or 5 m. [13-17 ft.] in diameter, with a semispherical top.
"While the object was hovering over the depot, a bright beam appeared from the bottom of the disc, where the flash had been before, and made two or three circles, lighting the corner of one of the buildings... The movement of the beam lasted for several seconds, then the beam disappeared and the object, still flashing, moved in the direction of the railway station. After that, I observed the object hovering over the logistics yard, railway station and cement factory. Then it returned to the rocket weapons depot, and hovered over it at an altitude of 60-70 m. [200-240 ft.]. The object was observed from that time on, by the first guard-shift and its commander. At 1:30 hrs., the object flew in the direction of the city of Akhtubinsk and disappeared from sight. The flashes on the object were not periodical, I observed all this for exactly two hours: from 23:30 to 1:30."
Private Tishcahayev essentially confirmed Ensign Voloshin's testimony. The guard-shift of Corporal Levin and Privates Bashev, Kulik and Litvinov basically tell the same story. They were all alerted by 1st Lt. Klimenko and they all saw up to three UFOs performing fantastic acrobatics in the sky, such as:
"Suddenly, it flew in our direction. It approached fast and increased in size. It then like divided itself in three shining points and took the shape of a triangle. Then it changed course and went on flying in the same sector."
"After veering, it began to approach us and its speed could be felt physically. (It swelled in front of our eyes). Its flight was strange: no aircraft could fly in this manner. It could instantly stop in the air (and there was an impression that it wobbled slightly up and down); it could float (exactly that: float, because the word 'fly' would not be adequate, it was as if the air was holding it, preventing it from falling). At all times that I observed it, it was blinking, blinking without any order and constantly changing colors (red, blue, green, yellow). The point itself was not blinking but something above it."
"Here is what I observed: there was a flying object, resembling an egg, but flatter. It shone brightly alternating green and red lights. This object gathered a great speed. It accelerated abruptly and also stopped abruptly, all the while doing large jumps up or down. Then appeared a second and then a third object. One object rose to low altitude and stopped. It stayed there in one place and was gone. Later a second object disappeared, and only one stayed. It moved constantly along the horizon. At times, it seemed it landed on the ground, then it rose again and moved."
All the testimonies coincided with the appearance of a jet fighter attempting to intercept the UFOs. The fighter made a first pass above the object apparently without seeing it. Then, according to Lt. Klimenko's deposition, "the airplane, which could be identified by its noise, approached the object, but the object disengaged so fast, that it seemed the plane stayed in one place."
It is difficult to make a final evaluation of the Kapustin Yar CE-I, since no information about the scramble mission and possible radar tracking has been released by the KGB. But the detailed testimony of seven military witnesses, who were familiar with rocket launches and various aircraft because of their post (Kapustin Yar is somewhat equivalent to the White Sands Proving Grounds in New Mexico), appears to confirm the unusual flight characteristics and extraordinary maneuverability displayed by UFOs in many instances. Moreover, as in the SAC flap of 1975 and the Bentwaters affair in England in 1980, the UFOs seemed capable of "demonstrating a clear intent in the weapons storage area," as described in a 1975 declassified teletype concerning Loring AFB in Maine.
One of the official milestones of Soviet/Russian ufology occurred less than a year later, as a result of a radar-visual and jet scramble incident on the Pereslavl-Zalesskiy region, east of Moscow, on the night of March 21, 1990. A statement issued by Colonel-General of Aviation Igor Maltsev, Chief of the Main Staff of the Air Defense Forces, was published in the newspaper Rabochaya Tribuna. Unit commanders compiled "more than 100 visual observations" and passed them on to Gen. Maltsev, who stated:
"I am not a specialist on UFOs and therefore I can only correlate the data and express my own supposition. According to the evidence of these eyewitnesses, the UFO is a disc with a diameter from 100 to 200 meters [320 to 650 feet]. Two pulsating lights were positioned on its sides... Moreover, the object rotated around its axis and performed an 'S-turn' flight both in the horizontal and vertical planes. Next, the UFO hovered over the ground and then flew with a speed exceeding that of the modern jet fighter by 2 or 3 times... The objects flew at altitudes ranging from 100 to 7,000 m. [300 to 24,000 ft.]. The movement of the UFOs was not accompanied by sound of any kind, and was distinguished by its startling maneuverability. It seemed the UFOs were completely devoid of inertia. In other words, they had somehow 'come to terms' with gravity. At the present time, terrestrial machines could hardly have any such capabilities." - Don Berliner, UFO Briefing Document
"I climbed up to the watchtower and watched the object at a height of 18 feet. I could clearly make out a glaring blinking signal, bright as a camera flash. The object flew over the stores of the unit and moved in the direction of the missile arsenal, about 1,000 feet away. It floated at a height of only 60 feet above the depot. The UFO glowed in a kind of phosphorescent green. It was a disc 12 to 15 feet in diameter with a semi-spherical dome on it."
"While the object was hovering above the arsenal, a bright ray appeared on its underside where the light had been flashing before, and drew 2 or 3 circles. Then the object moved towards the railway station, still flashing. Soon, however, it came back to the missile depot and hovered at a height of 180-200 feet above it. Two hours after the start of the sighting, the object flew in the direction of the town Akhtubinsk and disappeared out of our sight,"
"Near the object in the sky I saw a fireball which arose from the earth and approached it. When the UFO moved towards me, I could physically feel its approach. Then it shot off into the sky. I saw an airplane that attempted to get close to the object, but the object accelerated so fast that it soon left the airplane behind".

A pack of starving wolves surrounded a small farming community in China this week and attacked the six people living there, injuring two of them seriously.
The attack happened shortly after midnight and has shocked many as it was previously thought that wolves steered clear of humans. After the people living on the farm managed to flee, the wolves attacked farm animals killing several.
For a pack to attack a residential building and six people is reportedly unheard of at least in Altay village in north-western China's Xinjiang region where two people were hospitalised. Injuries included a bitten off ear and bites and scratches to the face, neck and chest.
The animals have apparently been driven mad by hunger caused by the worst drought in decades in the region where the average rainfall was down by a third affecting nearly a million hectares of crops. Hundreds of thousands of farm animals have also been left without water and the economic damage is estimated to be in the hundreds of millions.
The drought has brought near disaster to the Ili River valley that has seen no rainfall in what is the worst drought in 60 years. Many of the animals that the wolves might have otherwise fed on have died from lack of food and the animals have reportedly been sent mad with hunger. - Austrian Times
I made a throwaway account to post this because i just dont feel safe doing so through my original account. This predicament i've gotten myself into started about two weeks ago, while I was at work.
I work at a small convenience store, the only one in my town. My town is small and boring, with a population of around 55,000. The neighboring city, has a population double that, and is more densely populated, with a city center and multiple apartment complexes. I was just about to end my shift when a girl walks in. I automatically recognized her as an older sister of a friend of mine, Lyle. For the sake of my friend and his family, lets just say her name is Amanda. I'll explain why her name's changed later, but i need to explain everything in order for it to make sense.
I hadn't seen Amanda in 2 years. When I went over to Lyle's, she'd be in her room writing or on the back patio drawing, or she'd be watching TV. One day, I noticed she had a slightly scary looking dude over, but I have trouble remembering what he looked like. The next time I saw her she looked terribly ill, but I didn't mention it to Lyle. I didn't see much of her after that.
Amanda was skinnier than when I'd first seen her, her ripped, dirtied jeans hanging loosely on her hips. She was wearing a thin pullover, which went well with the ripped jeans in the notion that it was also ripped and dirtied. I would have questioned the heavy clothing in summer, but it was raining, so i brushed it off. Her hair looked unwashed, greasy. She had dark circles under her eyes and a noticable shake, like she was constantly chilly. She didn't recognize me, which didn't surprise me as we'd talked, at the most, twice, both simple greetings as I entered Lyle's place.
She came up to the counter, arms folded. The store was around 65, not cold for me but maybe for her. She pulled a lighter from the tray we have on the counter and placed it towards me. "One dollar, please." She dug around in her pockets, the sound of coins shaking seeming to bring her forward to reality a bit. She just dropped a bunch of dimes and two quarters on the counter and left. At this point I was a tad bit weirded out, but didn't say anything and tried my best to forget the moment. A few minutes later, my shift was over and I left.
As I said goodbye to Charley, the guy who came relieve me, I walked outside. We have benches outside the store, and guess who had sat there for a few minutes? Amanda, smoking a cigarette. I thought it was strange, as she'd never came off as the type to smoke, but she had graduated two years ago anyways, so who cares, its her decision. As I lit my own cigarette, a car pulled up into the lot. She got up and got to the car, leaning against the door as the window rolled down. It was dark in the car but i could hear a guy's voice, deep but soothing, telling her something. I missed most of the conversation, but I did hear the word "hit". I guess Amanda had fallen into drug use. I shrugged it off and walked off as she hopped in the car.
I had went home and was playing some TF2, with Lyle and a few friends on a skype chat, when Lyle abruptly left. No "goodbye", no "my mom's calling me", no nothing. He does that though. I left soon after as the friends were Lyle's and I had nothing to talk about. I went on reddit, went to tumblr, then dozed off. I remember the moom shining through my window. The clouds had dissipated, the rain gone. Nice and quiet.
I woke up and I went along with my day, went to work, went home, played video games, and went to sleep, I called, and Lyle sounded fucking awful. Through deep breaths and short sobs, I finally got him to explain what had him so down. He was vague, and only said he was at the police station with his mom and younger brother. I didn't get to ask why, because I got another call. I told him I had to go, and he immediatly hung up.
I answered the call, and it was a detective. I needed to come down to the station for questioning. They had already sent a squad car to my house, which I thought was a tad bit too much, but now I understand why.
When we arrived, the officer who had picked me up made it clear to me I wasn't in trouble, and he escorted me down to a room for questioning. This is where I explain why I'm not giving out Amanda's real name, and I'm gonna keep this part short.
The officer left, and after a minute a man in a white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a black tie with manila file came in to talk to me. I was cranky now, mostly at the fact i had no idea why the fuck i was being questioned and what for, as the escort cop didn't elaborate. The detective pulled out a picture of Amanda from the manila file, and asked me if I knew her. I said yes and asked why.
"Well, Mr.xxxxx, you were the last one to see her alive."
My throat tied up.
"We found her body near a torched car on a trail near the (neighboring city) quarries."
My heart dropped.
"We have security footage from your place of work that shows you leaving at the same time as when she enters the car we had found torched. Now, my question for you is, did you see who was driving the car?"
My stomach was in knots.
I stammered out that it was dark inside the car, but that it was a man driving. The detective's eyes narrowed.
"Listen, we're looking for a suspected killer, and anything at all you could have seen would put us in the right direction to finding the driver."
I felt awful. I couldn't remember anything. I told the detective about hearing "hit" and that Amanda hadn't looked well when she came into the store. The detective let me go, but he didn't seem happy. I walked past Lyle's family on the way out. I didn't make eye contact. Lyle's mom was crying and Lyle held his brother. They didn't notice me. I didn't want them to.
This is, sadly, only the tip of the iceberg I fear. Yesterday, I awoke in a cold sweat around 4 to the sharpest crack of thunder I had ever heard. I went into the bathroom to take a piss when I glanced at the mirror.
Someone had written in sharp, black ink:
"Wrong place, wrong time"
I lost focus and control of my legs. I awoke to more thunder, around 15 minutes later. Why I passed out for that long, I don't know. I don't know what any of this means, other that the fact that someone came into my house. I have a terrible feeling this is connected to Amanda, but I don't want to go there.
UPDATE: Ok, very funny, but whoever did something to my account and posted these two comments Or he lives near by and Or a demon who loves a game and needs a friend I want you to stop. This isn't a joke. A girl is dead. Stop.
A huge fast-moving space rock has the potential to bring about the apocalypse in the year 2880.
Despite it still being several centuries out, scientists have been attempting to learn as much as possible about asteroid 1950 DA which, with a diameter of 3,280 feet and a speed of 37,900 miles per hour, would cause untold devastation were it to actually hit us.
With the chance of a collision estimated to be around 1 in 4000, the highest of any known asteroid, the force of the impact would be the equivalent of 44,800 megatons of TNT exploding all at once.
"Following the February 2013 asteroid impact in Chelyabinsk, Russia, there is renewed interest in figuring out how to deal with the potential hazard of an asteroid impact," said Dr. Ben Rozitis.
The key to stopping asteroid 1950 DA could lie in its remarkably fast rotational speed which by all rights should have torn it apart by now. Scientists believe that the space rock is being held together by interparticle cohesive forces which means that even a small impact on its surface may be enough to break it apart while it is still far out in space.
"Understanding what holds these asteroids together can inform strategies to guard against future impacts," said Dr. Rozitis. Read more at NY Post
The shamanic journey is the art of using rhythm and intention to enter an altered state of consciousness in order to connect with the spiritual dimension of reality.
I have begun on this path in order to use universal healing energy to benefit myself and others.
It's a compelling account with the `picture proof' IMO:
In Mt Cheaha State park, at the end of the rock garden Pulpit Rock trail, looking up the mountain slope at the Restaurant, I was taking pics of the view, when I saw two fuzzy looking discs, flitting around in the sky over the Restaurant. Stunned, I watched them for about 30 seconds before snapping the pic. Both objects streaked away to the north at incredible velocity, just after I snapped the pic. The objects made no noise, and seemed to be interacting with each other as well as searching for something in the area, by the pattern like way, that they flew. Both objects were fuzzy looking. grey in color, but also seemed to glint sunlight off of their surfaces at certain angles. The objects interacted with one another by one following the other in a semi grid pattern. This pattern flight was at unbelievable speed, making right angle turns, stopping and starting almost faster then my eyes could keep up. I was amazed and stunned to actually be witnessing such a thing. Both of the objects shot away to the north from a hover, faster than I can describe, and were gone in an instant
David Armstrong claims his aunt used to work for a Top Secret UFO records library at McClellan Air Force Base. In his twenties, Armstrong went to visit her, and knowing he had an interest in the subject, Armstrong says his aunt let him take a look at the files. In this video, Armstrong recounts what he claims to have seen in those files, including images of extraterrestrial spacecraft and alien beings. . . .

UFO mania: Was Neanderthal shot by a time traveller?
ONE day in 1922, near Broken Hill, Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), a skull was found. When it came to the attention of the British Museum, the curators were pleased.
It was, in fact, a Neanderthal skull, and Neanderthal bones did not exactly come ten-a-penny.
But the Broken Hill skull was special for other reasons. On the left side of the cranium was a small, perfectly round hole. At first it was assumed that it had been made by a spear, or other sharp implement, but further investigation proved that this had not been the case.
When a skull is struck by a relatively low-velocity projectile – such as an arrow, or spear – it produces what are known as radial cracks or striations; that is, minute hairline fractures running away from the place of impact.
As there were no radial fractures on the Neanderthal skull, it was unanimously concluded that the projectile must have had a far, far greater velocity than an arrow or spear. But what?
Another mystery was that the right side of the cranium had, in the words of one anthropologist, “been blown away”. Further research also proved that that the right side of the cranium had been “blown away” from the inside out.
In short, whatever had hit the Broken Hill Neanderthal on the left side of his head had passed through it with such force that it had caused the right side to explode.
Researcher Rene Noorbergen, who investigated the mystery in his excellent book Secrets Of The Lost Races, commented: “This same feature is seen in modern victims of head wounds received from shots from a high-powered rifle.”
Noorbergen’s comments were more than appropriate, for forensic experts who have studied the skull in Berlin have since concluded that, “The cranial damage to Rhodesian Man’s skull could not have been caused by anything but a bullet”.
Compounding the mystery further is the fact that the skull of an ancient aurochs (an extinct type of bison) was found in Russia by the Lena River.
It, too, had been shot in the head, thousands of years previously, but had survived for some time, as the bullet hole had calcified.
This sensational discovery came to the attention of professor Constantin Flerov, curator of Moscow’s Palaeontological Museum of the USSR, who promptly put the skull on display.
Incredible though it sounds, we are faced with quite forceful evidence that, thousands of years ago, someone discharged a bullet into the skull of one of our anthropological cousins and also nearly killed a large mammal by the same method. But how could this be?
One obvious (but very radical) solution is to conclude that, contrary to what we have always understood, ancient man may have been technologically developed to a very high degree. Did a small but advanced civilisation develop the concept of ballistics long before the Chinese?
The problem with this idea is that it is too much of a coincidence. Could two separate societies, separated by thousands of years and a vast cultural gulf, have both invented weapons that just happened to fire small, cylindrical projectiles at high speed?
One colleague suggested to me that the only alternative is the possibility that someone from the future, carrying a firearm, travelled back into the past and engaged in some sort of trans-temporal hunting expedition.
This takes us perilously close to the realms of science fantasy, of course, but the fact is that the hole in the aurochs’ skull got there somehow.
Like it or not, the fact is that someone or something seemed to be using high-velocity bullets thousands of years ago. We don’t know who, we don’t know why and we don’t know how – but it happened.

UFO mania: Grand Canyon Underground Citadel - Evidence of Giants and Underground Cities in America.
UFO mania: Grand Canyon Underground Citadel - Evidence of Giants and Underground Cities in America
The most famous report - about giants and underground cities - appeared in the April 5, 1909 edition of The Arizona Gazette, entitled “Explorations in Grand Canyon.” Explorer G.E. Kinkaid discovered a huge underground “citadel” while rafting on the Colorado River.
Exploring a tunnel that stretched “nearly a mile underground,” Kinkaid found this citadel, which was filled with tablets carved with some type of hieroglyphics, and home to a stone statue he described as resembling Buddha.
Copper weapons lined the walls, but the most intriguing aspect of this ancient dwelling/worship place/tomb, were the mummies, all wrapped in a dark fabric.
The mummies were supposedly more than nine-feet-tall. To feed the fire of conspiracy, and to keep anyone from finding the giants of the citadel themselves, the United States government allegedly closed that area of the canyon from public view.
But this well-known story of American giants isn’t alone
The New York Times reported a nine-foot-tall skeleton of a man discovered in a mound near Maple Creek, Wisconsin, in December 1897. The Times also carried the story “Strange Skeletons Found” near Lake Delevan, Wisconsin, in its May 4, 1912 issue. The skulls of giant skeletons excavated from a mound had “a minute resemblance to the head of the monkey. ” But an April 9, 1885 story in The New York Times entitled: “Missouri’s buried city: A strange discovery in a coalmine near Moberly,” revealed a find that predated the supposed citadel in the Grand Canyon by 24 years. Moberly, the largest city in Randolph County, Missouri, had a population of 6,108 in the 1880s. Coal miners, sinking a shaft 360 feet deep, broke into a cavern revealing “a wonderful buried city,” the article claimed. Lava arches stretched across the roof of the cavern, looming over the streets of an ancient city “which are regularly laid out and enclosed by walls of stone, which is cut and dressed in a fairly good, although rude style of masonry.
” Workers, along with Moberly city recorder David Coates and Moberly city marshal George Keating, inspected the site and found a 30-by-100-feet hall in the cavern filled with stone benches and hand tools. “Further search disclosed statues and images made of a composition closely resembling bronze, lacking luster,” the article read. Explorers discovered a stone fountain in a wide court, still pouring “perfectly pure water” into its basin. But it was what lay beside the fountain that interested the people exploring the site. “Lying beside the foundation (of the fountain) were portions of the skeleton of a human being,” according to the article. “The bones of the leg measured, the femur four and one-half feet, the tibia four feet and three inches, showing that when alive the figure was three times the size of an ordinary man, and possessed of a wonderful muscular power and quickness. ” Its skull, the story reported, was shattered; bronze tools, granite hammers, metallic saws and flint knives were scattered all around. “They are not so highly polished, nor so accurately made as those now finished by our best mechanics, but they show skill and an evidence of an advanced civilization that are very wonderful,” according to the article.
Explorers spent twelve hours in the buried city and resurfaced only after the oil in their lamps burned low. “No end to the wonders of the discovery was reached,” the article stated. “A further extended search will be made in a day or two.”
No record of the extended search could be found
Dr. Tom Spencer, a professor in the department of History, Humanities, Philosophy and Political Science at Northwest Missouri State University, said that’s because after printing the story, the newspapers tried to forget it. “A lot of the time I think these stories were written based entirely off hearsay and little or no direct on-site reporting,” he said. “As the story grew, the details got more and more outrageous.”
He equates it to a childhood game where children sit in a circle and one child whispers a story into another’s ear and by the time the story completes the circle, it was completely different. “If you recall, sometimes the ‘finished story’ bore little resemblance to the original story,” he said. “My guess is one element of this story is factual – like the strange shaft formation or a long femur was found – and it became more and more embellished as it went around the journalistic circle at the time.”
So what happened to the fabulous buried city under Moberly, Mo.? “There were stories like this periodically at the time and they usually disappear quietly because someone goes to investigate and there’s nothing to it,” Spencer said. “In order to avoid the embarrassment the newspapers just don’t say anything else about it.”
However, Moberly resident John W. wants to find out for certain. “Myself and several friends have researched the article archived at The New York Times,” John said. “The article discusses coal miners finding a Crystal City with several advanced features as well as the bones of what can only be called a giant.”
John and his group plan to investigate the claim of an underground city. “We have found the mine. Our hopes are to take a field trip and find the underground city if we can access the mine,” he said. “We have driven by and the site exists. You can still see remnants of the old access road through the field. It would appear this mine has not been in use since the time period of the news article.”
Moberly calls itself “The Magic City.” Hopefully John and his crew can discover just how magic it is.

Twee verloren Mayasteden gevonden in jungle Mexico
Twee verloren Mayasteden gevonden in jungle Mexico
Archeologen hebben in de jungle van Mexico een bijzondere vondst gedaan. Ze troffen twee oude Mayasteden aan, bestaande uit ruïnes van tempelpiramides, paleizen, een balveld, altaars, een poort in de vorm van de bek van een monster en andere stenen monumenten.
Eén van de Mayasteden is decennia geleden ontdekt, maar men is er nooit in geslaagd om de Mayastad te lokaliseren. De andere stad is geheel onbekend en werpt een nieuw licht op de oude Mayabeschaving.
Expeditieleider Ivan Sprajc legde uit dat het oerwoud van Yucatán in de Mexicaanse staat Campeche eerst is bestudeerd aan de hand van luchtfoto’s. Te midden van de dichte vegetatie werden enkele onregelmatigheden aangetroffen. Een team werd erop uitgestuurd om onderzoek te doen.
Tot hun verbazing zagen de archeologen een complete stad. In de jaren zeventig stuitte de Amerikaanse archeoloog Eric Von Euw op de eerste stad. Hij maakte vele tekeningen van de Maya-ruïnes. Tot op heden was niemand in staat om de verloren stad, Lagunita genaamd, terug te vinden.
Eén van de meest indrukwekkende bouwwerken in de Mayastad is een enorme poort in de vorm van de bek van een monster, die de Mayagod van de vruchtbaarheid voorstelt. “Deze poorten symboliseren de ingang van een grot en meer in het algemeen van de onderwereld, een mythologische plaats die geassocieerd wordt met maïs en voorouders,” zei Sprajc.
Gegraveerde steen in Lagunita (Ivan Sprajc)
Het team van Sprajc trof verder een 20 meter hoge tempelpiramide en de ruïnes van een paleizencomplex aan. Op verschillende altaars zijn inscripties gevonden. In de hiërogliefen wordt volgens epigraaf Octavio Esparza Olguin van de Nationale Autonome Universiteit van Mexico gesproken over de datum 29 november 711 en een ‘heerser van 4 k’atuns’ (een k’atun is een periode van 20 jaar). Het is niet duidelijk om welke heerser het precies gaat.
De tweede Mayastad is Tamchen gedoopt en bevat een templepiramide, altaar, een grote acropolis omgeven door drie tempels en meer dan 30 chultans, ondergrondse kamers die werden gebruikt voor het verzamelen van regenwater. Sommige bouwwerken in Tamchen dateren uit de late pre-klassieke periode (300 voor Christus – 250 na Christus).
Beide steden roepen vragen op over de diversiteit van de Mayacultuur en de rol van dit grotendeels onverkende gebied in de Mayageschiedenis, aldus Sprajc.
Een vlek op een afbeelding van Google Moon zorgt voor wilde speculaties onder internetters over een ‘man’ op de maan. De donkere gedaante heeft volgens sommigen veel weg van een mensachtig figuur en zijn schaduw. De Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA denkt daar anders over.
Amateur-astronoom met als gebruikersnaam wowforreeel besloot de vreemde en onverklaarbare schaduw verder te onderzoeken nadat hij een tip had gekregen van een andere YouTube-gebruiker.
Sinds de afbeelding en het bijbehorende filmpje viraal gingen, zijn er verschillende theorieën over de gedaante in omloop. Volgens diverse nieuwsbronnen lijkt de schaduw op de Kolossus van Rodos, een groot standbeeld met gespreide armen en benen.
Wade Sisler, een woordvoerder van NASA, zei dat de foto hem deed denken aan de afbeelding van de ‘man op Mars’ die in 2008 op internet circuleerde. “We zoeken [als mensen] naar patronen en neigen vooral in de richting van menselijke vormen,” zei hij.
Noah Petro, een wetenschapper die betrokken is bij de Lunar Renaissance Orbiter (LRO), zei dat de beelden van de ‘man’ op de maan afkomstig lijken te zijn van de Apollo 15 of 17, bemande missies naar de maan in respectievelijk 1971 en 1972. Op een recente foto van hetzelfde gebied zou geen figuur op het maanoppervlak te zien zijn.
Petro zei dat er geen nabijgelegen berg of rots is die een schaduw zou kunnen werpen. “Ik zou zegen dat het iets van stof, een oogwimper of een kras op het negatief moet zijn. Vergeet niet dat dit voor het digitale tijdperk was. In die tijd kon er van alles gebeuren met de beelden.”
Bij wijze van primeur voor de Chinese ruimtevaart wil Peking dit jaar nog een sonde in een baan rond de Maan brengen die uiteindelijk naar de Aarde moet terugkomen, zo hebben de autoriteiten bekendgemaakt.
De sonde is reeds naar de zuidwestelijke lanceerbasis Xichang in de zuidwestelijke provincie Sichuan overgebracht.
Eén van de uitdagingen is dat het ruimtetuig de bijzonder hoge temperaturen moet kunnen overleven wanneer het de atmosfeer van onze planeet weer induikt.
De missie moet de deugdelijkheid bewijzen van vitale technologie voor de missie Chang'e-5 waarbij het volgens het officiële persbureau Xinhua de bedoeling is stalen op de Maan te nemen en die naar de Aarde te brengen.
Vorig jaar is China erin geslaagd een Maanjeep op de natuurlijke satelliet van de Aarde neer te zetten en die daar te hebben doen werken. Dat was 37 jaar nadat alleen de VS en de toenmalige Sovjetunie zachte landingen op de Maan maakten.
Het private ruimtevrachtschip Cygnus, dat een maand geleden aan het Internationaal Ruimtestation ISS was aangedokt, is vandaag losgekoppeld en begint zondag aan de terugtocht naar de Aarde. Cygnus was naar het ISS geslingerd om de zes astronauten aan boord te bevoorraden.
De capsule verliet het ruimtestation om 12.40 uur Belgische tijd, deelde het Amerikaanse ruimteagentschap Nasa op zijn website mee. Cygnus blijft wel nog tot zondagochtend nabij het ISS. Dan zal de capsule zijn motoren inschakelen om de afdaling naar de Aarde in te zetten.
De capsule was op 13 juli gelanceerd door het Amerikaanse Orbital Sciences aan boord van de raket Antares. Drie dagen later bereikte Cygnus het ISS, met meer dan 1.600 kilogram bevoorrading aan boord. Het ging dan vooral om voorverpakte voeding, maar ook aardobservatiesatellieten en materiaal voor wetenschappelijke experimenten.
Het was de tweede vlucht van het door Orbital Sciences ontwikkelde vrachtschip. In het kader van een contract van bijna 2 miljard dollar (1,5 miljard euro) zullen tot 2016 nog minstens acht andere vluchten plaatsvinden.
Wetenschappers hebben voor het eerst stofdeeltjes onderzocht die vermoedelijk van buiten ons zonnestelsel afkomstig zijn. De analyse van de zeven deeltjes toont aan dat er in het stof buiten het zonnestelsel meer zit dan tot nu is aangenomen.
Dat meldt het team van onderzoekers onder leiding van Andrew Westphal van de Universiteit van Berkeley in Californië in het natuurwetenschappelijk tijdschrift Science.
De sonde Stardust bracht de deeltjes in 2006 naar de aarde. Die moest ook stof van de komeet Wild 2 verzamelen. Om het stof op te vangen, had het onbemande ruimtevaartuig aan de bovenkant een rond rooster ter grootte van een tennisracket.
In een grot in de Amerikaanse staat Wyoming hebben wetenschappers honderden zoogdieren uit de ijstijd aangetroffen. Dat meldt The Telegraph.
Wetenschappers geloven dat de grot 25.000 jaar geleden geopend is, waardoor de dieren erin gevallen zijn. Ze vermoeden dat de overblijfselen de tand des tijds hebben doorstaan door de koele temperaturen en de duisternis in de grot.
Volgens de de Australische hoogleraar Alan Cooper, een van de onderzoekers, gaat het onder andere om de Noord-Amerikaanse leeuw en de Amerikaanse cheetah. Er werden ook verschillende kleine knaagdieren in de Natural Trap Cave ontdekt.
Eind vorige maand daalden de wetenschappers af in de ruim 25 meter diepe grot in het noorden van Wyoming. In de omgeving werden eerder ook al overblijfselen van mammoeten en beren gevonden.
The first sighting of several white orbs was seen on Aug. 4 by eagle-eyed UFO watchers hooked on monitoring NASA’s live webcam. Blogger Scott Waring, of UFO Sightings Daily, was one of the first to point out the Aug. 4 appearance while describing it as a ‘glowing disk.’
One of three videos taken by NASA’s live webcam outside the International Space Station shows a mysterious white orb flying in the distance. The speck grows and shrinks in size like others filmed.
Three videos catching attention by UFO enthusiasts were taken in the last week while watching live footage of the International Space Station, seen here.
NSA Releases UFO Files Reveals “Alien Messages” Received
Well, isn’t this interesting that NASA chose this time to disclose the alein messages received. Hmmm, can’t helpo but wonder if this is yet another ploy to condition the masses. The antichrist certainly will use “aliens” to deceive and to manipulate us. Be forewarned, those “aliens” are not your friends!
Pictures posted on Twitter earlier this week show something floating through the skies over the Houston area.
In one, a circular thing appears to hover. In another, it appears in front of impressive clouds. In yet another picture, the circle appears to stand on its side with an impressive light show.
Take a look at the video above and you decide.
You can find a lot of things flying through the halls of the Houston Museum of Natural Science, but a real answer to just what appears in these Twitter pictures is a mystery.
“I think the trick in UFOs is figuring out what else they could be. It’s easy to say that could be the aliens,” said Dr. Carolyn Sumners, the vice president for astronomy at the museum.
Sumners investigates and is writing a show about UFOs.
“If it’s a real object and it looks like it is. The more people who see it in different directions, the more likely we are to figure out where it is, what it is and see if we can explain it.”
There was also bad weather Monday night? She stated that could have something to do with everything people captured on their phones.

Professor planeetkunde Sara Seager is geen optimist, maar een realist. Ze meent dat we over 20 jaar tekenen van buitenaards leven op andere planeten kunnen ontdekken. Eén van Amerika’s meest gerespecteerde ruimtewetenschappers schreef voor het hoog aangeschreven wetenschappelijke blad PNAS dat ‘leven buiten onze planeet onvermijdelijk is’.
De nieuwe generatie telescopen zal ons steeds dichter bij tekenen van buitenaards leven brengen, aldus de 43-jarige Seager. De James Webb-ruimtetelescoop, die in 2018 gelanceerd wordt, zal bijvoorbeeld een aantal potentieel bewoonbare exoplaneten tot in detail kunnen bestuderen.
“Er zijn 100 miljard sterren in onze Melkweg en er zijn nog eens 100 miljard van die sterrenstelsels,” zei ze. Maar ze baseert zich op meer dan alleen kansberekening. Er zijn vele ontdekkingen en geavanceerde technieken waarover ze in haar artikel bericht.
Astronoom Sara Seager (Trent Bell)
“Toen mensen 20 jaar geleden spraken over exoplaneten, dan werd er hardop gelachen,” zei ze. “Nu zijn er door de Kepler-telescoop duizenden van die planeten ontdekt en kunnen we vaststellen dat er rond elke ster wel eentje cirkelt. Niet onbelangrijk: daar komt ook nog bij dat er heel wat aardachtige planeten zijn.”
“Ik ben er zeker van dat we op de drempel staan om belangrijke ontdekkingen te doen,” ging Seager verder. “Wij behoren tot de eerste generatie die dat kan zeggen.”
Hoe zal buitenaards leven er volgens de hoogleraar uitzien? “Hierover tast ik ook in het duister,” legde ze uit. “Ik verwacht geen groene mannetjes. In het beste geval en met het juiste gereedschap vinden we gassen die worden veroorzaakt door leven. Dat kan een bacterie zijn, maar net zo goed een dier of een intelligent wezen.”
Als er leven blijkt te zijn op andere exoplaneten, zal dat volgens Seager veel fundamentele dingen veranderen. Denk aan onze technologie, ons mensbeeld en onze religies.
Missouri – 9/5/2009: I was sleeping at the time and awakened by a whish/whispy noise and really thought nothing of it. I found this object several hours later in my backyard. At first, from a distance, I thought it was a mess that an animal had made . When I got closer I saw it was something different I have never seen before. It was broken open on one side with a jelly goo that was pretty solid, with a skeletal looking white object in the gel. The outer shell was leathery to the touch, yes I touched it. I thought maybe it was a pod type “puff ball” or mushroom growth, then thought that something that size could not have grown that quick( in a few hours) or also maybe it was an aborted egg/embryo from a large bird, just very strange! I slid this object onto a cardboard, took it to the high school science teacher, he had no idea of what it was. I never pursued the matter. I kept it frozen for 3 or 4 weeks and it faded in color and eventually deteriorated to a glob…..I threw it out! Any ideas what this is/was? Is it something natural or from somewhere unknown? – MUFON CMS
When Charles River was lined with groves and marshes there lived in a cabin, near Brighton, Massachusetts, an ill-fed rascal named Tom Walker. There was but one in the commonwealth who was more penurious, and that was his wife. They squabbled over the spending of a penny and each grudged food to the other. One day as Tom walked through the pine wood near his place, by habit watching the ground—for even there a farthing might be discovered—he prodded his stick into a skull, cloven deep by an Indian tomahawk. He kicked it, to shake the dirt off, when a gruff voice spake: “What are you doing in my grounds?” A swarthy fellow, with the face of a charcoal burner, sat on a stump, and Tom wondered that he had not seen him as he approached.
He replied, “Your grounds! They belong to Deacon Peabody.”
“Deacon Peabody be damned!” cried the black fellow; “as I think he will be, anyhow, if he does not look after his own sins a little sharper and a little less curiously after his neighbors’. Look, if you want to see how he is faring,” and, pointing to a tree, he called Tom to notice that the deacon’s name was written on the bark and that it was rotten at the core. To his surprise, Tom found that nearly every tree had the name of some prominent man cut upon it. “Who are you?” he asked.
“I go by different names in different places,” replied the dark one. “In some countries I am the black miner; in some the wild huntsman; here I am the black woodman. I am the patron of slave dealers and master of Salem witches.”
“I think you are the devil,” blurted Tom.
“At your service,” replied his majesty.
Now, Tom, having lived long with Mrs. Walker, had no fear of the devil, and he stopped to have a talk with him. The devil remarked, in a careless tone, that Captain Kidd had buried his treasure in that wood, under his majesty’s charge, and that whoever wished could find and keep it by making the usual concession. This Tom declined. He told his wife about it, however, and she was angry with him for not having closed the bargain at once, declaring that if he had not courage enough to add this treasure to their possessions she would not hesitate to do it. Tom showed no disposition to check her. If she got the money he would try to get a share of it, and if the devil took away his helpmate—well, there were things that he had made his mind to endure, when he had to. True enough, the woman started for the wood before sundown, with her spoons in her apron. When Tom discovered that the spoons were gone he, too, set off, for he wanted those back, anyway; but he did not overtake his wife. An apron was found in a tree containing a dried liver and a withered heart, and near that place the earth had been trampled and strewn with handfuls of coarse hair that reminded Tom of the man that he had met in the woods. “Egad!” he muttered, “Old Nick must have had a tough time with her.” Half in gratitude and half in curiosity, Tom waited to speak to the dark man, and was next day rewarded by seeing that personage come through the wood with an axe, whistling carelessly. Tom at once approached him on the subject of the buried treasure—not the vanished wife, for her he no longer regarded as a treasure.
After some haggling the devil proposed that Tom should start a loan office in Boston and use Kidd’s money in exacting usury. This suited Tom, who promised to screw four per cent. a month out of the unfortunates who might ask his aid, and he was seen to start for town with a bag which his neighbors thought to hold his crop of starveling turnips, but which was really a king’s ransom in gold and jewels—the earnings of Captain Kidd in long years of honest piracy. It was in Governor Belcher’s time, and cash was scarce. Merchants and professional men as well as the thriftless went to Tom for money, and, as he always had it, his business grew until he seemed to have a mortgage on half the men in Boston who were rich enough to be in debt. He even went so far as to move into a new house, to ride in his own carriage, and to eat enough to keep body and soul together, for he did not want to give up his soul to the one who would claim it just yet.
The most singular proof of his thrift—showing that he wanted to save soul and money both—was shown in his joining the church and becoming a prayerful Christian. He kept a Bible in his pocket and another on his desk, resolved to be prepared if a certain gentleman should call. He buried his old horse feet uppermost, for he was taught that on resurrection day the world would be turned upside down, and he was resolved, if his enemy appeared, to give him a run for it. While employed one afternoon in the congenial task of foreclosing a mortgage his creditor begged for another day to raise the money. Tom was irritable on account of the hot weather and talked to him as a good man of the church ought not to do.
“You have made so much money out of me,” wailed the victim of Tom’s philanthropies.
“Now, the devil take me if I have made a farthing!” exclaimed Tom.
At that instant there were three knocks at the door, and, stepping out to see who was there, the money lender found himself in presence of his fate. His little Bible was in a coat on a nail, and the bigger one was on his desk. He was without defence. The evil one caught him up like a child, had him on the back of his snorting steed in no time, and giving the beast a cut he flew like the wind in the teeth of a rising storm toward the marshes of Brighton. As he reached there a lightning flash descended into the wood and set it on fire. At the same moment Tom’s house was discovered to be in flames. When his effects were examined nothing was found in his strong boxes but cinders and shavings.
Ocala, FL – 4/20/2004: I kept waking up around two or three am and was unable to move. This continued for a couple of weeks. I was about three months pregnant and when I went to the doctor she said it might be poor circulation. I also had a problem bleeding so she recommended I stay in bed. One night I woke up and just like all the rest of the nights this happened I couldn’t move again. This time I saw a three foot tall old man looking being, crossing in front of me slowly from left to right in front of my bed. He even walked like an old man and scooted slowly from foot to foot. I was terrified and my first thought was not alien. He did not look like anything I had seen before. I do not recall the rest of the night. After the experience I stopped bleeding and I am now super interested in physics and science. I feel as if I were woken up. My Son whom I was pregnant with is 9 now and he has experiences and so does my daughter. After the experience I have had many more. I have also started to remember past events that are similar in nature. I get the feeling that what ever I have dealt with is positive in nature although it scares me to death to think of seeing one again. – MUFON CMS
RCMP are continuing their search for a Quebec motorcyclist who seemingly disappeared without a trace while travelling on Cape Breton’s Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia on Thursday.
Francois Brodeur, 55, an experienced rider, was travelling with another rider on the Cabot Trail who was on a different motorcycle ahead of him.
“In my many years of policing, I have never actually seen an incident like this,” said RCMP Sgt. Alain LeBlanc.
“It’s my understanding that there were two riders riding together, and that the lead rider was keeping an eye on [Brodeur], and then a few minutes later, she looked back and then the man was no longer there. Of course, we patrolled the area extensively to look for him or the bike, and so far, it’s been negative.”
Brodeur was last seen around 12:30 p.m. in the North Mountain area while travelling south from Pleasant Bay to Ingonish.
A Department of Natural Resources Helicopter is helping with the search Friday, LeBlanc said.
Brodeur is six feet tall and 240 pounds, and has grey hair. He was last seen wearing a black motorcycle helmet and a black jacket.
Brodeur is riding a purple Harley-Davidson motorcycle, and speaks French and limited English.
Police are asking motorists who were travelling through the North Mountain, Big Intervale and Cape North areas and who may have seen Brodeur to contact them at (902) 295-2350. – news.ca.msn
To Whom it May Concern, I wanted to report a siting and ask about the possibilities of how I could test soil as we are curious. In the late 70′s my Mother awoke to visit the restroom in the middle of the night in the top level of our home, she happened to look out the window to see a UFO in our backyard, on Ben Franklin Road North in Indiana, PA about 1.75 acres away near the woods line. It was a saucer type shipwith lights around the rim and she saw small beings walking at the base of the ship in front of the lights.
She was frighten and ran back to bed. She had the senses they may have sensed she was up so she bundled in her covers and faced away from the bedroom window and tried to empty her mind and feign sleep. She feared what ‘they’ would do if they sensed they knew she seen them. She heard loud clanging sounds and the ship passed slowly by her bedroom window, it paused at the window as if checking to see if she was up then sped off. She said it was as loud as a coal truck clanging down the road. It was so surreal she questioned if it really happened and felt strange saying anything to anyone. My bedroom was on the ground level. At about the same time period, I heard a cluster of footsteps run past my window from the backyard to the front. It sounded like there were maybe 7 of them spaced a few feet from one another and would be the size of kids 11 years old. We were the only kids on the street with the exception of another boy down the street. I wondered if my brothers were sleeping out in a tent in the backyard with friends but they did not so it was unexplained.
The landing cite afterward had 3 circles where nothing would grow, today there are still 2 distinct areas with no growth. Previous to that there was vegetation, it was more sparse than the rest of the yard, but ground cover existed. I’m not sure if soil composition can change but there is a patch of red clay where we never recalled seeing before. I was home a few days ago and took a soil sample from the landing area and an area maybe 20 feet away and the earth is very different. The top of the rocks in the landing area, looks different than the bottom of the rocks. I’m wondering how I can check the magnetism or radiation of the area, if anything still resides or if I can find any trace left from so long ago. I saw you have another report on your website from down he road during he same time period and yet another from nearby. You are welcome to investigate the site. We talk freely about it and it would be nice to have validation. Thank you for your time and consideration of our case. Sincerely, Kathy
The following UFO sighting report was submitted to Open Minds on Thursday, August 14, 2014 by Tim Hale.
08/13/14 I walked out my door to see a cigar flying craft of about 1500ft flying from one cloud to another cloud. The craft was internally lighted like a light bulb inside a lamp shade and I watched this craft for about two minutes as it made its way to another cloud. Then just before it reached the second cloud it cloaked (went invisible) right before my very eyes. It didn’t pass in back of the cloud or entered the cloud it cloaked. Strange also that these two clouds were the only clouds in the entire sky. This happened at 9:30 a.m. in broad daylight.
The real Men in Black, Hollywood and the great UFO cover-up
The real Men in Black, Hollywood and the great UFO cover-up
In a new documentary, US government agents claim they spent decades giving fake evidence of extraterrestrials to gullible ufologists. But why? And how can we trust them now?

Hidden among the avalanche of documents leaked by Edward Snowden were images from a Powerpoint presentation by GCHQ, entitled The Art of Deception: Training for a New Generation of Online Covert Operations. Images include camouflaged moths, inflatable tanks, women in burqas, and complex diagrams plastered with jargon, buzzwords and slogans: "Disruption Operational Playbook", "Swap the real for the false and vice versa", "People make decisions as part of groups" and, beneath a shot of hands shuffling a deck of cards, "We want to build Cyber Magicians". Curiously, sandwiched in the middle of the document are three photographs of UFOs. Not real ones – classic fakes: one was a hub cap, another a bunch of balloons, and one that turned out to be a seagull.
Devout ufologists might seize upon this as further proof that our governments "know something" about aliens and their transportation methods, but really it suggests the opposite: the UFO community is a textbook case of a gullible group susceptible to manipulation. Having spent too long watching the skies and The X-Files, it's implied, they'll readily swallow whatever snippet of "evidence" suits their grand theory.
If there really is a UFO conspiracy, it's surely the worst-kept secret in history. Roswell, Area 51, flashing lights, little green men, abductions – it's all been fed through the pop culture mill to the point of fatigue. Even the supposed enforcers of the secret, the "men in black", have their own movie franchise. But a new documentary, Mirage Men, unearths compelling evidence that UFO folklore was actually fabricated by the US government. Rather than covering up the existence of aliens, could it be that the real conspiracy has been persuading us to believe in them?
Richard Doty … deceived UFO spotters.
Mirage Men's chief coup is to land an actual man in black: a former Air Force special investigations officer named Richard Doty, who admits to having infiltrated UFO circles. A fellow UFO researcher says: "Doty had this wonderful way to sell it – 'I'm with the government. You cooperate with us and I'm going to tell you what the government really knows about UFOs, deep down in those vaults.'" Doty and his colleagues fed credulous ufologists lies and half-truths, knowing their fertile imaginations would do the rest. In return, they were apprised of chatter from the community, thus alerting the military when anyone was getting to close to their top-secret technology. And if the Soviets thought the US really was communing with aliens, all the better.
The classic case, well-known to conspiracy aficionados, is Paul Bennewitz, a successful electronics entrepreneur in New Mexico. In 1979, Bennewitz started seeing strange lights in the sky, and picking up weird transmissions on his amateur equipment. The fact that he lived just across the road from Kirtland air force base should have set alarm bells ringing, but Bennewitz was convinced these phenomena were of extraterrestrial origin. Being a good patriot, he contacted the Air Force, who realised that, far from eavesdropping on ET, Bennewitz was inadvertently eavesdropping on them. Instead of making him stop, though, Doty and other officers told Bennewitz they were interested in his findings. That encouraged Bennewitz to dig deeper. Within a few years, he was interpreting alien languages, spotting crashed alien craft in the hills from his plane (he was an amateur pilot), and sounding the alert for a full-scale invasion. All the time, the investigators were surveilling him surveilling them. They gave Bennewitz computer software that "interpreted" the signals, and even dumped fake props for him to discover. The mania took over Bennewitz's life. In 1988, his family checked him into a psychiatric facility.
There's plenty more like this. As Mirage Men discovers, central tenets of the UFO belief system turn out to have far earthlier origins. Mysterious cattle mutilations in 1970s New Mexico turn out to have been officials furtively investigating radiation in livestock after they'd conducted an ill-advised experiment in underground "nuclear fracking". Test pilots for the military's experimental silent helicopters admit to attaching flashing lights to their craft to fool civilians. Doty himself comes across as a slippery character, to say the least. "He remains an absolute enigma," says Mark Pilkington, writer of the book Mirage Men, the basis for the documentary. He found the retired Doty working as a traffic cop in a small New Mexico town. "Some of what he said was true and I'm sure a lot of it wasn't, or was a version of the truth. I have no doubt Rick was at the bottom of a ladder that stretches all the way to Washington. It's unclear to what extent he was following orders and to what taking matters into his own hands."
Doty almost admits to having had a hand in supposedly leaked "classified" documents, such as the "Majestic 12" dossier – spilling the beans on a secret alien liaison committee founded by President Truman. But he denies involvement in the "Project Serpo" papers – which claimed that 12 American military personnel paid a secret visit to an alien planet in the Zeta Reticuli system – only to be caught out as the source of the presumed hoax. The Serpo scenario, it has been noted, is not unlike the plot of Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. Does that suggest that the forgers lazily copied the movie? Or that the movie is based on real events and Spielberg was in on the conspiracy?

The place of movies in the grand UFO conspiracy is a tricky area. Depending on which theory you subscribe to, Hollywood's steady stream of sci-fi is either a deliberate exaggeration, designed to make the "truth" look unbelievable (the "you've been watching too many movies" defence), or it's a way of psychologically preparing the populace for staggering alien secrets yet to be revealed. There are at least grounds for suspicion in the latter camp. Pilkington points to the CIA's Psychological Strategy Board, founded after the second world war to promote US propaganda. Associated with the board was veteran film producer Darryl Zanuck. In 1951, Zanuck executive-produced seminal alien-visitation sci-fi The Day the Earth Stood Still, often cited as a government-sanctioned testing of the waters for alien contact. Like Zanuck, the film's writer, Edmund North, was ex-military, while director Robert Wise apparently became a UFO believer on account of discussions he had with Washington figures during the making of the movie.
Steven Spielberg is a less likely government stooge, though he has been obsessed by aliens his entire career, from Close Encounters and ET up to War of the Worlds and the last Indiana Jones film (not forgetting his producer role in Falling Skies, Transformers and, er, Men in Black). If anyone's paving the way for the big reveal, it's Spielberg, but, after 30 years of paving, we're still waiting.
Mirage Men finds an even more extreme example in the form of industry veteran Robert Emenegger, who claims that in 1971 he was approached by the Pentagon to make a film revealing "what the government really knows". The Pentagon's big lure was that they would let him incorporate top-secret footage of an alien craft landing at Holloman Air Force Base in the 1960s. Predictably, the footage never materialised but Emenegger – no less cryptic a character than Richard Doty – claims to have seen it, and still believes alien contact has been established. He went ahead and made his documentary, entitled UFOs: Past, Present And Future. Presented by Rod "Twilight Zone" Serling, it culminates in a rather anti-climactic "reconstruction" of the Holloman UFO landing.
In the cold light of the post-cold war, the evidence is starting to look pretty shaky for UFOs. Numbers at UFO conventions and clubs are dwindling. The UK's Ministry of Defence closed its UFO desk in 2009, and, like many countries, has declassified its UFO documents. If there was any smoking gun, you'd imagine it would have been found in our current golden age of leaks and disclosures – but so far there's only been more smoke. On a Guardian webchat in 2010, relating to Wikileaks' release of the US embassy cables, Julian Assange asserted that "many weirdos email us about UFOs" but he'd come across nothing concrete. There were references to UFOs in the cables, he noted, but mostly to do with UFO cults rather than UFOs themselves – in the same way that GCHQ's Art Of Deception slideshow references UFO cults.
If nothing else, the leaked GCHQ document tells us the Mirage Men are still out there, sowing deception and disinformation. These days they're more likely to be targeting suspect extremist religious groups, or hackers and online fraudsters. Meanwhile, recent claims to have "deciphered" hidden backwards messages about UFOs in Edward Snowden's interview only go to show how desperate the alien conspiracy cause has become.
There's something else ufologists are a textbook example of: cognitive dissonance – the mental distress of trying to hold two conflicting worldviews simultaneously. The term was coined in the 1950s by psychologist Leon Festinger, who illustrated it with the example of a UFO cult shattered by the unfulfilled prophecy of an alien visitation. Some tenacious devotees still refuse to accept Mirage Men's findings, says Pilkington: "If beliefs are strongly held, nothing can sway them and anything that appears to undermine them will just be absorbed and repurposed. So if you're really, really dedicated, this is just chaff to throw you off the trail." Pilkington himself has been accused of working for MI5 or being a stooge controlled by the government, if not the aliens. "If I'm under intelligent control from elsewhere then I'm unaware of it, and I'm a victim, and it would be against my programming for me to be able to prove it," he reasons.
As always in the conspiracy-theory hall of mirrors, it's possible to flip the hypothesis on its head: what if the lies and hoaxes Mirage Men reveals are simply a smokescreen for the fact that the authorities really do know secrets about extraterrestrials? What better way to conceal them than by getting "found out" in their disinformation tactics? What better way of throwing sceptics off the scent than disseminating the confessions of an ex-man in black like Richard Doty, in documentaries, and articles in respectable new organisations – like this one. Perhaps we're no closer to knowing if the truth really is out there, but we can be sure the lies are.

Filer’s Files #33 – 2014 -Faster Space Travel - PART I
Filer’s Files #33 – 2014 -Faster Space Travel - PART I
In special reports, this week’s files cover: Space Travel Shorter Time Period than Thought, New Iraq War, 1878 Texas UFO Sighting, Russian Intrusions, and Robbert v/d Broeke in Holland
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Utah.
Sightings of UFOs were also reported in: Australia, Canada, India, Israeli, Mexico, Portugal, Russia, Thailand, and England in the United Kingdom.
The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The weekly intelligence report provides you with information on the latest sightings and UFO news that you need to understand the world situation. 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 and Prince Phillip told me of his personal interest in UFOs. The US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.
The basis for the shortened trip in space is NASA scientist engineer’s Paul R. Hills book “Unconventional Flying Objects” with a forward by astronaut Edgar Mitchell. Hill obtained numerous UFO reports at Langley Air Force Base where I was stationed. NASA was picking up evidence for alien bases on the Moon and the Shuttle was video-taping UFOs. He developed a chapter on space travel with the appropriate math. He states the trip to, “Aloha Centuri, a triple star system 4.3 light years away made by accelerating at 140 g to a v/c of 0.9999 is accomplished from a standing start to a standing finish in 6 weeks.” He points out that aliens traveling from many of the 2000 known planets could reach here in less than two years, the time it took Sir Francis Drake to go around the world.
Artist Depiction of Spaceship
Hill states, “I hope I have made it clear that there is an important distinction to be made between the time experienced by the space traveler and the time which passes meanwhile on the home planet and on the planetary destination. The tremendous acceleration, speed, and energy capabilities displayed by UFOs make them well suited to capitalize on this distinction by the attainment of greatly reduced on board times realizable by approaching the speed of light. Even an approach to 90 % of light speed gets the job done for the nearer stars. Higher fractions of light speed give attractive time reductions for longer trips. Don’t be misled by countless statements in the literature that interstellar distances and the speed of light constitute some kind of barrier to space travel. There are only two paths to this conclusion:
Nobody in the universe has the technology to approach the speed of light.
Observer time is significant, and on board time is to be ignored.
Both paths are false ones. The confused second view is more common. Its proponents are using the observed time for light to travel as the shortest possible time for passage is totally false”. Pages 272 and 278. Thanks to NASA’s Paul Hill.
Editor’s Note: There are also strong indications large Mother ships are in this solar system and they have developed bases on the Moon, Earth, and on nearby planets.
Provo – 1967 disc from Lt. Col. Wendell Stevens’s files now owned by Open Minds. Air Force Captain Harvey Williams was flying a C- 47 at 12,000 feet when he took this photo of a possible Alien Reproduction Vehicle 25 miles southwest of Provo, Utah. Allegedly the disc could operate near the speed of light by reducing the mass of the vehicle and withdrawing energy from the space environment.
The late Ben R. Rich, a UCLA School of Engineering alumnus (MS ’50) who is known as the “Father of Stealth,” is recognized as one of the best aircraft engineers in the world and led development of the heralded F-117 stealth fighter. At an engineering conference in Los Angeles on March 23, 1993, Dr. Ben R. Rich stated to the future International Director of the Mutual UFO Network engineer Jan Harzan that “We already have in our possession the technology to take ET home.” This was in a conference room full of aerospace and computer engineers from many different UCLA School of Engineering alumni who worked for aerospace and software companies
Ben showed slides and went through the history of the Skunk Works. Showed pictures of U2 and SR-71 and drones that no one had seen before.-The last slide showed a black disk headed for space. Ben showed this and made the statement, “We now have the technology to take ET home”. During Questions and Answers afterwards he told the engineers that it was now possible to travel to the stars. There was an error in the equations which was corrected. The time of travel is fast, but he didn’t say how fast. Ben said he believed that security was too oppressive and that the time had come to develop this technology in the commercial world now that the cold war has ended. He died of cancer months later.
Iraq War
The U.S. is conducting airdrops with C-130 aircraft to aid to thousands of refugees driven from their homes onto Mt Sinjar by ISIS the Islamist State militants. Planes dropped food and other humanitarian supplies to the refugees accompanied by combat aircraft that conducted airstrikes against ISIS troops. ISIS is more than an Islamist jihad it is a group of ruthless mercenaries taking over much of Iraq and Syria.
US Marines and Special Forces using V-22 Osprey aircraft also landed on Mt Sinjar to help airlift some of the refugees.
President Obama said, “The terrorists that have taken over parts of Iraq have been especially brutal to religious minorities—rounding up families, executing men, enslaving women, and threatening the systematic destruction of an entire religious community, which would be genocide.”We find the U S again bombing in Iraq to prevent the overthrow of Iraqi Kurdistan that happens to control the sixth largest oil reserves in the world with ExxonMobil Oil, Chevron, Hess and Total Oil operations. The US is bombing to protect the Kurds and various religious minorities from being overrun and killed.
ISIS is calling itself the Islamic State, which was previously known as Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant. The energy markets are vulnerable to these events as ISIS already controls two key pipelines and ships oil out of Syria. ISIS is able to sell oil with the help of ARAMCO the Arabian American oil company. ISIS has seized large amounts of territory in Iraq and Syria and declared its own self-styled caliphate, highlighting the Iraqi government’s inability to ensure security under Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
After its breakthrough two months ago, when ISIS routed the Iraqi army and seized the city of Mosul, the group has returned to the offensive this week, defeating Kurdish fighters and sparking a new refugee crisis, especially among the Yezidi communities near the Syrian border. The refugees fled to Mt. Sinjar.
Several predominantly Christian villages and towns fell into the hands of the militants, Yousif Thomas, the Chaldean archbishop of Kirkuk and Sulaimaniyah, said by phone today. Kurdish forces known as Peshmerga, who had been protecting the villages, retreated, allowing the militants to take over, Thomas said.
ISIS’ murderous rampage has Iraqi Christians, other ethno-religious minorities, and innocent civilians of all kinds under unthinkable pressure. As the Iraqi government melts away, civilians are trapped in high mountain passes, in towns, and on the borders, taking refuge wherever they can – if they can – to avoid execution or submission to ISIS’ twisted, nihilistic version of Islam.
National spokesman for Iraqi Christians and Chaldean-American businessman Mark Arabo said, “The evil being carried out by ISIS militants in Iraq now includes shocking beheadings of children,” and he praised President Barack Obama for authorizing an intervention in the crisis Thursday.
“They are systematically beheading children, and mothers and fathers. The world hasn’t seen an evil like this for a generation. There’s actually a park in Mosul that they’ve actually beheaded children and put their heads on a sticks,” Arabo told CNN’s Jonathan Mann. President Obama, who once campaigned as a pacifist, authorized airstrikes against ISIS positions all over Iraq.
ISIS releases film of killing soldiers Over in Syria, ISIS defeated Syrian army units and took over parts of their base on Friday outside the northern city of Raqqa, as the radicals escalated their attacks on Syrian government forces. During the assault on the airfield, the ISIS fighters killed at least 270 soldiers, guards and staff and also killed at least 85 soldiers when they captured an army base in the province of Raqqa, the Observatory said. The fighters said they decapitated most of the soldiers and hung several heads outside the base gates. The Syrian army’s 17th Division was ambushed outside Raqqa when they withdrew from the area.
Western officials say the Syrian government has allowed ISIS forces to flourish while attacking less extreme rebels. President Bashar al-Assad has used the group’s rise to back his argument that Syria faces a militant Islamist threat. “The government wants ISIS to be strong enough for its propaganda purposes and until now has been hesitant to attack it,” one Western diplomat said, adding that any government offensives were launched because Assad needed to be seen as acting against the group.
At least 1,100 Syrian soldiers and pro-Assad fighters have been killed since ISIS intensified its attacks against government forces this month, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. The Syrian Government is now launching four air strikes a day against ISIS.
Raqqa is already a stronghold of ISIS which has advanced in Syria and taken over swaths of territory in neighboring Iraq in what it has described as a bid to establish an Islamic caliphate. Since its lightning advance in Iraq last month, the group has confronted government forces in Syria more frequently whilst continuing to attack rival rebel groups fighting to oust President Bashar al-Assad.
The fact is that Sunnis are the majority in 85% of the Moslem world and they have taken control of most of the Sunni areas in Syria and Iraq. Their recent beheadings of Syrian Government troops and children has gotten the attention of many of the world’s leaders and a coalition will likely punish them with close air support and modern weapons for the Kurds. ISIS claims it does not take prisoners; it simply shoots or beheads them.
There is a strong chance of war in 20 nations between the two main branches of Islam. The disagreement between Sunnis and Shias dates back to 632 A.D. when the two main Muslim groups split over who should lead them after the Prophet Mohammed died. Fast forward to 2014, and the struggle is about religion, politics and boundaries. The vast majority of the world’s 1.6 billion Muslims are Sunni, in countries like Egypt, Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Jordan, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Shia Muslims are actually a tiny minority overall but in Iran, Syria and Iraq; Shias control the governments and are in charge. Thanks to AP leonardo.blair@christianpost.com;
1878 Texas UFO Sighting
Denison — A second newspaper report on a strange airship was included in the Denison Daily News on January 25, 1878. A Texas farmer, John Martin, was credited with one of the first uses of the term “flying saucer.” Martin had actually seen a “balloon-shaped” UFO, but used the saucer term to describe the size of the object from his perspective. Martin’s sighting was January 2. What he saw was a dark object high in the sky. The object was moving closer to him all the while. Because the object maintained a dark color, there was speculation that the object was solid and backlit. The headlines of the 25th would read, “A STRANGE PHENOMENON.” A portion of the report is listed here:
“From Mr. John Martin, a farmer who lives some six miles south of this city, we learn the following strange story: Tuesday morning while out hunting, his attention was directed to a dark object high up in the southern sky. The peculiar shape and velocity with which the object seemed to approach riveted his attention and he strained his eves to discover its character.” “When first noticed, it appeared to be about the size of an orange, which continued to grow in size. After gazing at it for some time Mr. Martin became blind from long looking and left off viewing it for a time in order to rest his eyes. On resuming his view, the object was almost overhead and had increased considerably in size, and appeared to be going through space at wonderful speed.” There are a number of other American reports, along with much evidence from around the world going back to early civilizations which indicate flying apparatus were being seen in the skies. There seems to be little doubt that even before mankind had mastered the art of flying, someone, somewhere had. Of course, UFO reports can often times be explained by conventional flying objects, but what known craft could we use for an explanation in the mid to late 1800′s? The Wright Brothers had not yet created their new flying machine.

Russian Intrusions
There have been about 16 Russian forays in the Alaskan and North Canadian area in the last ten days. Two of the strategic missile bombers flew within 50 miles off the Northern California coast before turning away.
Russian planes often fly near our coasts but the increased number is unusual with the increased tension in Ukraine. The drills came a month after U.S. F-22sintercepted four Tu-95 Bear aircraft over the far western Aleutian Islands.
Meanwhile, the West’s conflict with Russia over Ukraine changed as Russia imposed sanctions of its own, banning most imports like food products. The relations between the United States and Russia are at their lowest ebb since the mid-1980s. Putin wants to reestablish the Old Russian Empire of the Tsars with the help of religion to defeat the decadent West. He is well aware that Communism was defeated on moral grounds with the Vatican’s’ help. Thanks to US Today.
Robbert v/d Broeke in Holland
Four filmmakers are documenting Robbert v/d Broeke taking anomalous photos (with video links) plus stills of various “creatures” who have appeared. U.S. filmmakers Dan Drasin and William Gazecki filmed Robert’s abilities to create images on film. Robbert has the ability to obtain a huge range of anomalous images using either film or digital cameras. Here are a few “stills” from a report about filmmakers videotaping Robbert as he photographs deceased people and unknown “creatures”:

Filer’s Files #33 – 2014 -Faster Space Travel - PART II
Sightings in the United States
Arizona Disc
Tucson– I snapped this photo looking eastward on Ajo Road and La Cholla Boulevard on July 14, 2014. I did not see the object personally, nor did I see any airplanes not even military jets from Davis Monthan AFB.
It appeared on my photo I took while pointing east, towards the city, with my iPhone 5s. If you look closely at the six lights above the stop lights, you can almost make out the shape of a large maybe mile wide object over Tucson’s AZ Southside. It resembles either a disc shape or a triangle above the city lights. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Note: It is likely these small lights are lens flares.
California Disc
Encinitas — I was taking my lunch break inside my car) when I decided to recline the seat on August 8, 2014, and saw a low flying cross-shaped object. It was transparent, outlined with a white border. Movement was a little bit faster than planes usually move. I could simply see sky through the outlined portion. Also, since I go surfing fishing, the shape somewhat reminded me of a shovel nosed guitarfish shown. I blinked twice and rubbed my eyes just to make sure that it was real. What a weird experience, but I did not get scared. I waved up, wishing that it is in fact an alien craft I thought aliens are here! Too bad I did not get a chance to snap pictures. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Santa Clara — While flying from San Jose to Mather Airport I noticed a reflective sphere out of my window on August 6, 2014. At first I thought it might be the moon, but it appeared to be metallic and hovered in the North West. Thirty seconds after I first saw it, I pulled out my iPhone 5 to take some pictures. There was some high level smoke from fires mixed with the clouds. After 15 minutes as the plane started to head north and I could see the moon in the South West out of the opposite windows. It was quite large and had a yellow/orange cast to it. The object appeared stationary and had a reflective silver metallic surface low on the horizon while the moon was larger and to the East at that time, glowing more yellow/orange. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Colorado Triangle
Colorado Springs — I was sitting on my deck watching the night sky on June 16, 2014, many Ufos were seen throughout June and July so I was watching for them. I saw an aircraft coming towards me and as when it was closer; I realized it was a massive black delta with two huge engines on the two tips of the rear end of the craft. It had a red strobe light on the bottom center of the craft. An F-16 was following close behind with afterburners. It was not in an aggressive posture and was basically following the thing. As it was directly over me I called my grandmother and she was able to see the last of the sighting as it flew north east and disappeared from sight. Being an air force brat I know my civilian and military aircraft. This is not of human origin. Above is a drawing of the craft. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Connecticut Trail
Waterbury – I was at thecemetery visiting a relative, and noticed something hovering at an 80 degree angle on August 9, 2014. It was in the middle of a blue sky, no clouds or stars around right before dusk. I thought it might be a plane but planes do not go up at that angle and there are no airports nearby. It appeared to elevate very slowly then moved horizontal and appeared to move away, within a couple minutes it was out of sight.
We were dumfounded and amazed so we tried to follow it with car but it went out of sight. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Red Light
Marathon — Sitting on the water of the Atlantic Ocean on August 10, 2014, watching the super moon around 9:30 pm, a bright red object appeared over the adjacent island about 500 feet up. The object was pulsing red light in no set pattern. It appeared to be hovering at times while ascending. It made no noise and its flight pattern was erratic. I watched object for about 1 minute before it vanished. After watching it for a minute I realized it was definitely not an airplane. I was very excited. This is my second sighting in 15 years. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Idaho Moon like Light
Rexburg — On August 8, 2014, I went out to call in my cats, and I saw an oval light. I went in the house and got my Canon Power Shot A2200 camera and binoculars and took 59 photographs. But I do not have photographs of the most disturbing part of this. I was watching with binoculars as it began to take a different form. It began to look like an oval piece of the Moon, except it wasn’t the Moon. The Sun was just setting, but there was still plenty of light outside and I watched for over half an hour, as gave me a strange feeling of unease. There seemed to be more than one light that would all fade away completely. Then it would return. The last photograph that I took of it is, the best: it shows one large object shining light onto clouds above it. It was oval with a bright light at the base of it that just faded away to nothing. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Iowa Red Light
Maquoketa— On August 8, 2014, was the 3rd time we have seen this strange red glowing light at my friend’s house just south of Maquoketa in the country. It is always in the same spot very close right above a cornfield. Last night it disappeared over the horizon towards the east. We saw this two other times, a year ago a month or two apart. The first time that we saw the light there was red pieces, lights, whatever, falling off of it. In the first two times it just disappeared before our eyes. It doesn’t look like fire or meteor but is very red. I had called the news channel in Quad Cities, but nothing ever came of it. We are really perplexed as to what this is.
Note: The contrast was adjusted in the photo. I don’t have an explanation for this photo. It is interesting to note that the witness has seen this same light on other occasions. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com
Kansas Lights
Hays – I was leaving my parents’ house saying goodbye to my mother out in the front yard on August 8, 2014, when we saw a single spherical shape red/orange/yellow in color. It was at 10:40 PM, and the light emanated from pulsated randomly. The object flew along a path, then seemed to hover and its light steadily and quickly disappeared. The object then reappeared at 10:45 PM and 10:50 PM where it seemed to take the exact same path with the exact same characteristics. We waited to see if the object would reappear for a fourth time but it never did. We called my brother to come out and all three of us were able to witness the last event at 10:50 PM.

Kentucky V Object
Pendleton County— Glenn Pennington writes, “We are still experiencing nightly UFO visitations and the number of crafts seem to be increasing. I now have well over 40,000 pictures and thought I’d share a few as I haven’t sent any for a few weeks.”
Still not getting much help in documenting this massive event from the UFO Research Community, but plenty of people in the county are now seeing them and making local reports on Social Media. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Maine Light
South Portland — On August 10, 2014, my husband and I went to “Bug Light” on the ocean front to take pictures of the Super Moon at lower left. When the moon emerged from the clouds around 8 PM I took pictures of it and of the lights across the water. When I got home and put the pictures on my iMAC, I had 5-6 pictures of UFOs. Some were large whitish spheres and one was a small light that I magnified and saw was a tear shaped object that looked like many other reported UFOs on Filer’s Files.
This is the second time spheres have appeared on my Maine coast pictures. The first I sent was on November 20, 2011 at Scarborough Beach. There is a very faint large sphere above and to the right of the Super Moon, as well. In the upper center shows a bell shaped UFO. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Maryland Moving Light
Perry Hall– Working on my laptop I saw a big lightning storm moving in from west when a light appeared in the clear skies of on August 2, 2014. I thought it was a toy remote control airplane, but it would have been very large at the apparent distance.
Wasn’t sure if it was an RC airplane could do that. I videotaped it on my cell phone. At the end it was going straight up behind a tree and didn’t look like a drone.

Massachusetts Spiral
Weymouth – The pictures were taken by a friend showing a huge spiral ufo in blue sky over the former Naval Base on July 7, 2014. There have been rumors of alien activity at the former Navy base. A spiral changed shape and reduces its size and appears to land on roof of old Navy hospital. It eventually leaves the roof area gaining in size. We went back to investigate several times and took a photo of an apparition coming out of the old hospital.
We were followed by men on bikes who were watching us with binoculars. Eventually we were approached by one who asked why we were there? Later a strange black helicopter made three passes above my home. It blasted me twice with some kind of device that vibrated my body and was sending me a warning. We have continued our investigation and have several pictures of unexplained phenomena. One civilian looking vehicle seen frequently has military dressed persons on board. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Michigan Orb
Ypsilanti — I was photographing the Thunder over Michigan Air Show at Willow Run Airport around 1 PM, of a P-51 Mustang that was performing and I was taking multiple photos in rapid succession. I did not see the object, but when I examined the digital photos I discovered an anomaly on one of the digital photos. I blew it up using Photoshop and contrast, and I see an oval shape.
My digital camera was set at ISO 400, shutter speed slowly to blur the propeller at 1/160, aperture stopped down to f/29. It is not a lens flare as the sun was behind me. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Nevada Blue Objects
Las Vegas — I was walking, taking pictures from my phone to the roundabout that is located at the Strip on July 27, 2014. I did not see the ufo but appeared in my picture. I noticed next day while checking at my pictures.
I thought it was a reflection but I dont know what it could be. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Las Vegas — On 14/15 April 2014 I was taking pictures of the Blood Moon looking south towards Vegas with my Nikon Cool Pix 520 digital camera. My son, his friend and my wife and I did not see anything unusual. About a week later I downloaded the pictures and in the upper right corner I find what appears to be a Triangle vehicle. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Hampshire Light
Hampton – Was on vacation at the beach when we spotted what appeared to be a flare, rising up from the water on July 27, 2014. At 7:52 PM, However, after watching it for a few seconds, it became apparent it was not rising up, but rather coming from over the ocean and flying directly over us. After watching for about 30 seconds, I took my iPhone out and managed to get 17 seconds recorded.
Once the object had passed to the west, it dimmed and faded but I could still the silhouette of the object in the night sky, but it was too faint to capture. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Jersey Sphere
Mercerville — I’m a retired law enforcement officer with multiple sighting experiences. While standing outside I observed a large bright white sphere in the NW sky overhead. It was about the size of 1/4″ to 5/16″ inch in diameter at arm’s length. It had a downward slope of 10 degrees. This sphere was perfectly round and a very bright white object. There was no trail. The object flew beyond the branches of the 50 foot tall tree covering about 60 degrees of the observable field of view to the NW. I lost view of it mid way in my tree. I have seen hundreds of meteors and many comets in my lifetime. This object moved slower than a meteor and shared no heating up characteristics like a body moving into the atmosphere. There were no stars visible and overcast around 2,600 K. This object appeared at a relatively low altitude below the cloud cover. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New York Sphere
Salisbury Mills — I was on my computer, in my living room on August 9, 2014, when I realized there was a floating light in the sky. I called over a family member to also see the light, when I realized… I had my phone! I took a photo and some video, and while I was filming, the light disappeared.
I am uploading this from my ipad, while the photos and videos were on my phone.

Ohio Flying Wing
Toledo – At 3:15 PM on August 7, 2014, I heard the roar of jets overhead probably from the 180th Fighter Wing of the Ohio National Guard (ONG) that was training this week. I saw two jets pass overhead at low altitude as we were just a few miles from the Toledo Express ONG base. One jet was about ten seconds ahead of the other. As the second jet passed, I saw through the tree canopy a much “higher” black fixed wing boomerang shaped craft traveling due east. The ONG jets were traveling due west. The black craft had a smooth semicircular front edge with tapered wing edges, and scalloped back edge. Due to the jets I could not tell if the UFO made any sound. There were no lights, emissions, and the shape of the craft was sharp at all times. It flew for about 5-7 seconds due east, then made a sharp smooth turn northeast and then was behind the sightline of my neighboring condo unit. At no time did the ONG jets appear to notice this craft or deviate from their standard flight paths back to their base. It seemed similar to some designs of non-publicly acknowledged “” I’ve seen. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Washington Woman Sees Mint Green Diamond Shaped Object
Everett — A 46 year old woman driving on I-5 at the 41st Street exit looking southwest over the city on August 3, 2014, at 2:13 AM. She saw a mint green diamond shaped object coming down and making a right angle turn heading south at cloud level and disappearing.
Picture: Driver came back to the location of the sighting and took this picture, and amended it with Photoshop to illustrate the object and buildings.
Note: I know this reliable witness who was sure that the object was not a conventional aircraft. The sighting occurred near the Boeing Everett Aircraft Plant. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Australia Disc and IR Filters
Port Macquarie — I was filming the sky due to a heavy chemtrail assault happening west over the mountains on July 29, 2012. When I was checking my footage later in the day I saw what appears to be craft of moderate size zooming in and out of the clouds.
It was a flat mushroom shaped craft with a dark grey metallic look with highly reflective surfaces. I think I was the only witness to this event.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Sydney – On July 27, 2014, Laszlo, a famous UFO researcher based in Australia that uses or infrared lenses (ir) during the day to catch UFOs. He has done this for many years and is an expert, so please take him seriously. IR is known to catch cloaked UFOs. I’ve tried it and it worked. Thanks to ufosightingsdaily.com
Laszlo states, “Thanks for watching my video that shows how I capture UFOs with an infrared (IR) filter fitted to my camcorder. The first thing before you starting searching the sky using the Automata focus, zoom in on a long distance object, then Lock the camera to manual focus. Works best without clouds. Sometimes the UFOs are not visible to the eye. Place the I R 850 Optical filter on your camcorder and turn your camera on the Night Shot, or Super Night shot position,” Daylight capture!” I use a SONY. DCR-TRV.530 Digital camcorder, and. Canon DM-GL.2.Digital camcorder. Fluorite 100X Digital zoom. Thanks to ufosightingsdaily.com.
Canada Lights
Brampton – On August 9th 2014, at 11:37 pm, my spouse and I were sitting on porch and saw an orange ball of flame between two planes heading east towards us. At first I thought it was a plane on fire that hovered as I tried to get a photo which revealed two lights. The lights started moving away and then it disappeared. It moved faster than any plane in a fraction of a second. The strange thing is that my photo shows two star like dots that has a white glow, but we saw an orange ball of fire. The photo must have taken has the craft was pulling away. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Toronto — I was in my living room watching the Toronto Blue Jays game on television with my husband 5:02 pm, on August 9, 2014. When my husband drew my attention to the object in the distance moving straight up with a tremendous velocity I have never seen before.
I had been taping the game, so I could see it over and over to verify our first thought of an insect, was incorrect. This sighting is so quick, literally blink and it’s gone. Thanks to MUFON CMS
India Yellow Circular Object
New Delhi – On July1, 2014, at 7:47 PM, I was waiting in MCD Park facing east, and happened to look up. There was a pink colored cloud to my left. I saw a glowing moving object from my right to left. It perhaps had a black outline (circumference). -The sky was still clear & bright blue. An airplane has blinking lights, which appear like dots and the body of the airplane can be easily seen.
Whereas, this object, which was almost overhead, was just a glowing yellow circle about 8 mm to 10 mm in diameter. I could only see its bottom side – glowing yellow, with perhaps a black outline. I could observe it for 2 to 3 seconds as it moved from my right to left to the East-North-East. The left portion of my viewable sky had a pink colored cloud, covering about 35% of the viewable sky. It took seconds for it to move from the top of the viewable sky and then went behind the pink colored sky. There was no noise, no smoke, and no trail. I don’t know what it was.Thanks to MUFON CMS
Israel Disc
Dead Sea — This 30 second exposure shots were made on a tripod at midnight on December 15, 2009, at shore of the Dead Sea. I was calibrating my Nikon D90 DSLR and I didn’t see them in real time. I took another few shots hoping to get rid of those disturbing artifacts that were apparently were moving too.

Mexico Lights
Querétaro – I was in my car with my parents and an aunt when we saw a stationary strange light in the sky on July 9, 2014. I proceeded to park my car and started to observe the light and I realized it was a triangle shaped object with a red light in the center and a yellow light at each angle. After some minutes without moving, the triangular object took a straight-line path. The object emitted a sound just the same as a commercial airplane. The object was really close to me, so I decided to take some pictures with my cell phone. This is not the not the first time we saw objects like that.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Portugal Strange Light
Vila Nova De Corvo— My children called out to me to check out a light in the night sky on August 7, 2014. It passed by our home at some distance over the ocean. I saw a wobbling, rather slow moving light, heading northeast which is very unusual around here. It was moving at a relatively low altitude and I managed to take this picture as the light suddenly disappeared.
I was very surprised as I zoomed to see a light track produced by the light due to the shutter speed of 0, 8 seconds, which also showed a circular, disc-shaped object, seemingly moving erratically. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Russia Dark Ovals
Blagoveshchensk — I took pictures of the river on August 10, 2014.
When I looked through the pictures, I saw strange dark oval and round circles over the water. I think that this – a UFO.

Thailand Light
Apparently the one who took the photo did not notice what is there nor those of paginaweb where the public just as pictures of lightning during an electrical storm.
A moving object is in the upper right hand corner. I would like to investigate the photo to see if this trick-or 100% real.

United Kingdom/England Fireballs
Oban — Was just getting ready for bed when my wife told me to look out of window at what she thought was a meteor on August 8, 2014. I thought different as the objects were in tandem one bright light closely followed by a smaller dimmer one also the objects where cruising across the sky not falling.
The objects then disappeared into the distance. I believe these objects were going too fast to be a lantern or plane plus the dimmer one following was too close to be two planes chasing each other.

Legendary Pre-Flood Civilizations
Legendary Pre-Flood Civilizations
The legendary pre-Flood civilizations like Atlantis, Thule, and Hyperborea were said to have been built on highly advanced science and technology, with a possibly direct connection with what is happening now around the world.
Sir Francis Bacon, a key leader in the Rosicrucians which later became known as the Illuminati, planned for America to become the “New Atlantis” and the center of the New World Order about a hundred years before America became a nation. To better understand the occult connections between antediluvian civilizations, such as Atlantis or Thule, and modern times, it becomes necessary to review the accounts of those who supposedly established these civilizations.
In the pre-Flood world of Noah, it is written that there was interspecies breeding going on between the “sons of God,” or the B’nai Elohim and mortal human women. The ancient rabbinic scholars believed that the term “sons of God” specifically referred to fallen angels and this was in fact the teaching of the early church for several hundred years.
The offspring of these fallen angels procreating with human women where called the Nephilim. Much of these stories have been effectively suppressed for centuries and banned from inclusion in later versions of the Bible, but have been recently re-discovered; for example in passages from The Book of Enoch.
There are numerous other universal mythologies of pre-Flood civilizations that speak of these god men coming from the stars and seeding the human race.
In addition, traditional theories of evolution are starting to be replaced by a "new" understanding that the humanity on Earth was likely seeded by beings from other worlds.
Anomalies which may indicate highly advanced pre-Flood civilizations include the monolithic monuments that survived the Flood which ended the Pleistocene era, as well as massive architectural wonders such as the pyramids, Sphinx and the Incan and Mayan monuments. Many of these structures could only have been built with math and coordination belonging to a high civilization, and technology that is superior to that which was said to be available.
One of the forces supposedly used by certain groups in these pre-Flood times was a mysterious life energy, that the Nazis re-discovered, called the Vril force. The Vril force, the energy fields studied by Nicola Tesla, and what is now called scalar technology are based on similar theories deriving from quantum mechanics.
Scalar Technology is based on the theory that there is a fourth dimension where powerful energies for destruction or healing on a planetary level can be transferred into our three dimensional reality and change that reality.
The Nazi concept of a Vril force is based on the idea that a race of god men came from the stars in ships powered by this force and settled on the legendary island of Thule where they founded the civilization called Hyperborea.
Plato believed in the Egyptian legend of Atlantis and Herodotus spoke of the another Egyptian legend of the continent of Hyperborea in the far north. When an ice age supposedly destroyed Hyperborea, this race of god men migrated south and it may be they who created the empire of Atlantis in the Atlantic.
The secret occult societies that put Hitler into power were extremely interested in Antarctica beginning in the 1930s. The Vril and Thule societies diligently researched the ancient Tibetan, Indian, and Greek historic texts concerning pre-history. They were conducting the type of archeology that the Indiana Jones movies were based on.
Documenting the cultural, linguistic, and genetic similarities of these legends with the Nordic legends of blonde haired blue eyed "gods", the occult societies that influenced NAZI ideology came to their conclusion that the Earth undergoes periodic global cataclysms, and that vast portions of the inner Earth is hollow and has been inhabited within for many millennia by another unknown branch of humanity.
Ultima Thule is supposed to have been the name of the capital city of the continent of Hyperborea, which was older than Atlantis. According to occult teachings, the Hyperboreans were the most highly technologically and socially advanced society that existed in the pre-Flood age.
When the Flood came the Hyperboreans used the large tunnels which penetrate through the Earth’s crust to permanently settle under the Himalayas.
According to some legends they named their new kingdom Agharta or Agharti and its capital city was Shamballah, which was the mythical paradise below the surface of the Earth.
There are many scientists and researchers who believe that the founders of Hyberborea, Atlantis, Thule and other ancient civilizations were beings from other planets.
There are also a growing number of Biblical scholars who believe that these 'aliens' did not come from other planets, but other dimensions, and that they were actually the fallen angels who mated with human women who produced the Nephilim. The Nazis believed that the Nordic-looking "gods" who came from the stars were a genetically distinct race from another world, had RH negative blood type, and did not "evolve" from apes in Africa.
The Nazis supposedly were aided by a group of attractive females with clairvoyant powers called the Vril Maidens who could channel scientific and technological information including rocket design and even how to build UFO-type flying machines.
The Vril Maidens were not only famous for their gifted psychic ability, but for wearing their hair long and never cutting it. They claimed that a planet around the Aldebaran star system was inhabited by a race of people similar to ourselves with a possible shared ancestry.
The entire Nazi secret energy and propulsion program went hand in hand with their understanding of alternative physics and their occult science of consciousness. Nazi scientists working on their most top secret programs relied on the occult Vril power, a form of usable free energy, genetic manipulation, and ancient occult meditation techniques. Unfortunately, much of this technology was later used for mind control, both by the Nazi war machine and the allied powers that defeated them.
Werner von Braun, the founder of America’s NASA space program, was an elite Nazi scientist who had advanced technology on propulsion and rocketry.
During Operation Paperclip, when America, in competition with Russia over Nazi scientists after World War II, smuggled in over 8,000 scientists. These scientists brought with them their occult practices and beliefs, along with the science which the US further developed for mind control (see MKULTRA).
In 1871, British novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton, in The Coming Race, described a superior race called the Vril-ya, who lived underground and sustained themselves with the Vril force or psychokinetic energy. They may have been the descendants of the Hyperboreans, inhabitants of the island of Thule. The Hyperboreans supposedly harnessed the power of Vril to manipulate matter and energy, enabling them extended lifespans and existing in what some might regard as a god-like existance.
The German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) wrote of the Übermensch (Superman) in his work, Der Antichrist. Nietzsche wrote “Let us see ourselves for what we are. We are Hyperboreans. We know well enough how we are living off that track.”
When Nietzsche published “The Will to Power” he was speaking of the Vril force and spoke of “the herd,” meaning the ordinary people who live by laws imposed by the corrupt State. In contrast Nietzsche spoke of the supermen who tap into a supernatural divine force that raises them above the ordinary man.
An Illinois law enforcement officer patrolling in Niles reported watching two silent, pulsing, red sphere-shaped UFOs, according to testimony in Case 57602 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The officer was patrolling in the 8700 block of North Milwaukee Avenue about 11:15 p.m. on July 3, 2014, when the objects were first seen.
“My eye was caught by two pulsing, round red lights in the southwest sky, one on top of the other, which appeared to be a cell or water tower in the vicinity of Maryhill Cemetery,” the witness stated. “This caused me to do a complete double-take, because I know there are no such structures in that area.”
One of the objects began moving slowly from west to east.
“The other followed in a ‘wing-man’-type formation slightly behind and further south than the object to the forefront. I thought, because of their basketball-like appearance and large size, that they were helicopters of the ‘bubble-cockpit’ variety, flying low on the southern horizon.”
The objects were described as basketball-sized spheres, approximately five-times the size of the strobe lights on an airplane, with a shimmery white halo completely circling the sphere. Pictured: The 8700 block of North Milwaukee Avenue, Niles, Illinois. (Credit: Google)
The witness parked his squad car, shut off the lights and engine, and got out.
“As soon as I got out of my car, I realized that these were not helicopters, and were much farther away and larger than I originally thought. There was no helicopter sound whatsoever in the relatively quiet night air, and the presence of many airplanes in the sky (Niles and Park Ridge are under major flight paths in and out of O’Hare) provided me with an excellent contrasting point of reference to what the UFOs at least ‘were not.’”
The objects glided eastbound, slowly and deliberately.
“They were basketball-sized spheres, approximately five-times the size of the strobe lights on an airplane, with a shimmery white halo completely circling the sphere. The red light was unlike anything I have ever seen, having a pulsating, almost ‘liquid’ or ‘living’ appearance, and glowing, rather than piercing the night sky. The white light appeared like an aura (similar to the heat you see emanating from a rocket or jet engine). I was awestruck.”
The witness described the object’s movements.
“When the first craft was almost directly in front of my line of sight, the spheres both suddenly ‘receded’ quickly up and into the western sky (back where I first saw them, but much higher). The UFO that was offset to the rear disappeared so quickly that I barely had time to register that it was gone. The craft that was more ‘in the lead’ receded up and back to the point that it looked like a red star, and then blinked out of sight.”
The officer said that there were two witnesses to the event.
“I saw that there were two adult male citizens, one African-American and one Caucasian, looking up at the sky from a residential driveway across the street and south of my location. I approached them and we all verbally confirmed that what we had seen had not been fireworks or flares of any kind, but were definitely very large, unidentifiable aircraft. We were all very excited. I remember that my emotions were in a ‘condition red’ or ‘high alert’ status – I remained in this psychological state for many hours after the sighting. The African-American citizen kept repeating ‘warp speed! They took off into space at warp speed!’”
The witness mentioned that other electronic anomalies were happening during the event.
“Two things I would like to point out are that – one – for the 20 minutes or so prior to this sighting, I was unable to connect to the Internet on both my Blackberry cell phone or my in-car Panasonic Tough Book Laptop with Verizon air card. Five minutes after the spheres ascended out of sight, both my telephone and in-car computer came back online. And two – I did not think to take photos of the craft because the camera on my Blackberry produces very poor quality photos. I’ve tried to take pictures of the full moon in the past, and they come out as a blurry white pin-dot of light. I am working on getting a record of any 911 calls for suspicious lights in the sky during this time period.”
The officer said that starting 20 minutes prior to the UFO event, he was unable to get into the Internet. Pictured: The 8700 block of North Milwaukee Avenue, Niles, Illinois. (Credit: Google)
Niles is a village in Cook County, Illinois, population 29,803. MUFON Illinois is investigating. Illinois has a current UFO Alert Rating of 4 with a higher than average number of recent reports nationally. Illinois had 22 UFO reports in July 2014 – the 12th highest reporting state – while California had 104 reports as the highest reporting state. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels – 1 through 5 – where states with 150 or more reports for the month are rated an Alert 1; states with 100 or more reports are rated an Alert 2; 25 reports or more for the month are rated an Alert 3; 13 or more reports are rated an Alert 4; and those states with less than 13 reports for the month are an Alert 5.
This documentary tells the gripping lifestory of John Forbes Nash, the brilliant, eccentric mathematician with an "alien" mind. He was not liked by his colleagues but they tolerated him because his mathematics were so brilliant. The alien aspects of Nash' personality ("powers of outerspace sending him messages") reminded me of the late Paul Bennewitz of Dulce Base fame who eventually suffered a mental breakdown as a result of a deliberate disinformation campaign set up by AFOSI special agent Richard Doty et al.
Disinformation and UFOs; it is a subject that for many years has been a taboo, but by neglecting it, it will not go away, specifically not when it is becoming more and more clear that it has played an important role behind the biggest UFO stories of the last few decades.
Philip Coppens
Paul Bennewitz had his own company, Thunder Scientific Corporation just outside the perimeter of Kirtland Air Force Base. His company specialised in the manufacture of temperature and humidity instruments for NASA and the US Air Force, which meant that his office location was perfect. It also meant that he was very close to one of the most important military installations in the world. And what he had not counted on, was that such facilities seem to go hand in hand with “weirdness”. In 1979, Bennewitz observed enigmatic lights dancing around the Manzano Weapons Storage Complex, the largest underground repository of nuclear weapons in the United States. For someone with an interest in UFOs, this proved to be, of course, fatal. Bennewitz was hooked and began to watch, record and research the goings-on.
On May 7, 1980, Myrna Hansen, a single mother, contacted Bennewitz with a story that she had been abducted by aliens. At the time, a few abduction cases were already known, specifically the Betty and Barney Hill, and the Travis Walton abduction. Budd Hopkins had not yet published Missing Time, and Berlitz and Moore were in the process of writing their Roswell book. Leo Sprinkle and Bennewitz decided to do a hypnosis session with Hansen. Specifically, Bennewitz came away from the session and subsequent meetings with him believing that alien beings were beaming some sort of rays at her and controlling her unconscious mind. Furthermore, Hansen was talking about an underground base, where she had seen “body parts”. It seems that while she was at the base, a device had been implanted to control her thinking.
Paul Bennewitz
That same year, 1980, Bennewitz became edgy, carrying guns, stating that the aliens could come through the walls at any time. This evolved into a belief that the aliens were slowly taking over the US government, specifically the military – the lights were obvious proof of this. Bennewitz wrote down his theory in a manuscript, titled Project Beta.Sections of it read: “Established constant direct communication with the alien… Subsequent aerial and ground photographs revealed landing pylons, ships on the ground… aliens on the ground in electro statically supported vehicles… charging beam weapons. The aliens are picking up and ‘cutting’ people every night whether all implants are totally effective I cannot predict… Conservatively I would estimate at least 300,000 people have been implanted in the U.S… at least 2 million worldwide.”
The situation was very important and Bennewitz made contact with the Kirtland base. He was passed on to Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) Special Agent Richard Doty. It was the start of a campaign that would forever change the UFO phenomenon. When Bennewitz reported that he had witnessed strange lights, that his equipment had subsequently made strange recordings, which he wanted the Air Force to be aware of, Bennewitz was welcomed with open arms. He was even allowed to make a presentation on the base. Furthermore, Doty encouraged him in his research and it seems that Bennewitz even received a fund to continue. That is where the penny should have dropped. First of all, the official stance of the government is that there is little to nothing to the UFO phenomenon. So why were they openly encouraging Bennewitz? There was little plausible deniability. Secondly, when they give an individual 75,000 dollars for an investigation to record alien communications, intent on taking over control of the US government…if true, would the government not take a bit more ownership of the situation, which seems to any logical mind quite serious… But the penny did not drop. What has since been officially accepted, is that Doty et al. had begun a campaign of disinformation, directed at Bennewitz. Bennewitz had indeed picked up radio signals, but these were military communications, not aliens. The government wanted to know how he had done this, for if he could do it, surely the Soviets and other enemies could do it also? In short, the government had identified a serious breach of security (serious because it involved one of the most important military sites on Earth) and rather than plug it, they decided to contain it, and see the extent of the hole. But in order for this to succeed, a net of lies had to be woven. It may be ugly and generally “not nice” on the private citizen(s) involved, but it is standard practice. Bennewitz was thus given money, so that, now with sufficient funds, he could continue his tinkering with devices that were picking up the signals. It was money to inspire Bennewitz to continue (which was not really necessary, seeing he deemed himself one of the few, if not only, UFO researcher who had the ears of the government) and to see how far, with funding, he could go. The purpose: as the Soviets had money at their disposal, how big was the hole they had to plug? Bennewitz was paid to find out – though he never realised it.
If the story ended here, it would be just another episode in a long list of campaigns, in which UFOs were used as a good excuse for secret government work. But it did not end there. In 1982, William Moore, now a big celebrity because of his Roswell expose, met with Allen Hynek, the juggernaut of UFO officialdom. Hynek had previously headed up an enquiry into the subject and had afterwards remained on the scene, as head of his own organisation. Over a drink, Hynek stated that he was the one who had delivered the computer program to Bennewitz that had begun to analyze the alien communications, which was part of the 75,000 dollars grant. He had supplied this tool at the request of the Air Force. Bennewitz was told that the program he had received had been “modified by the aliens themselves”, to facilitate communication with them. In truth, it was a device that was a decoy; it only was meant to produce gibberish, but the purpose was that Bennewitz would continue monitoring the communications, with the machine then “deciphering” these communications. But, as mentioned, it was specifically created so that Bennewitz would not try to analyse the communications himself, which were top secret. Instead, what he got were endless streams of “Ground ground women of Earth are needed flexible the next discharges our chip all oy women do not command the north among us you have many friends water very shirt resist all attempts at alteration listen orange make peace.” The communications would then be incorporated into his theories, as “evidence” of them.
In late 1980, Bennewitz decided to inform the UFO community of his findings, sending long letters to one UFO organisation, APRO, detailing his theories. At the same time, he wrote to his senators, informing them of the alien menace, which was taking over control of the base in their state. The senators tried to follow up, but with little success. It seems that Doty decided to go to the next level of disinformation. On November 17, 1980, Doty met William Moore, asking whether Moore would be willing to co-operate. If Moore was willing to spread disinformation, Moore would be given access to the inner UFO secrets of the US government.It’s a big carrot, and it is clear that the two never mix; why would anyone who knows and has been successful in covering it up, invite someone to spread more lies, but in return he will be told the truth? But like Bennewitz, Moore seems to have fallen for it – at least, he accepted the deal.
William Moore
The disinformation was directed towards Bennewitz, and in the late spring of 1981, AFOSI began to draw Bennewitz’s attention away from the base, and focus it instead on Dulce, a place of no importance and hence perfect to become the home of an imaginary alien base. Doty had begun a campaign to destroy Bennewitz, however unintentional Moore’s role in this enterprise may have been. In August 1988, Bennewitz would finally crack and would no longer be able to function normally. His family had him admitted to a mental facility. After a one month stay, assisted by his family, he recuperated. His family wisely ecided to forever shield him from both UFOs and UFO researchers. One of the things that had driven him over the edge was the fact that he saw energy balls within his home, supposedly sent by the aliens.Doty thought this was all in Bennewitz's imagination, until he learned that the NSA (National Security Agency) was intensely monitoring Bennewitz as well. Doty himself observed the lights when he had broken into Bennewitz’s house, to find out how Bennewitz was progressing. Doty also noted that the house on the other side of the road seemed to be a surveillance location from where Bennewitz was observed. Did the energy balls have anything to do with something that was “beamed” from across the street?
The sad extent of Doty and Moore’s cooperation became only known in 1989, when Moore admitted his role in the Bennewitz affair – and so much more. Perhaps it was Bennewitz’s mental breakdown that had finally made him realise the extent of the deception – and the human cost involved. Moore opted for a MUFON conference, at which he would relate his dealings ith AFOSI, to put the record right; at the same time, he hoped that his lecture would be a warning for fellow UFO researchers, not to fall in the same pitfall. What Moore seemed unaware of, was that several had already fallen in the same trap, many years ago, and some would follow Moore’s example and come out with the truth in the following years. Moore’s admission of deception – though he claimed he himself had been deceived – did not go down well. The master of ceremonies had to threaten, silence and intervene the audience on numerous occasions Some realised that the man on stage had driven a man insane and did not approve. Others were flabbergasted – some must have realised how the government had been toying with them.
Moore claimed that he only began to co-operate in 1981… but did he tell the whole truth, or merely leave out certain material? It is indeed likely that Moore and Doty only began to co-operate in 1981. But Moore was the first person to argue for the fact that Roswell was an alien landing, based on the flimsiest of evidence – however good he made it sound for the book. And though this is now widely accepted by the world at large – helped by television series such as Roswell – any half-serious research will reveal that Roswell is a classic example of government disinformation. Amongst the stories that Doty fed Moore was one of a live extraterrestrial that had been captured after another crash in New Mexico, and had lived until 1952. Since then a series of other extraterrestrials had been sent as 'ambassadors'. Doty also spoke of a treaty between the US government and the aliens. Moore accepted some of this information as gospel, othermaterial, specifically the initial material that Doty had fed to Moore, he was quickly able to dispel as false. Doty shrugged it off as “that was its purpose all along – you have succeeded in your task”. It is clear that in the early 1980s, Doty was not knowledgeable enough to concoct UFO stories by himself – and I would suggest that the primary role of Moore was to help him develop better stories. If Moore fell for it, the entire community would run with it.
The biggest con would soon become known as the MJ-12 or Majestic 12 documents. It was Doty who showed Linda Moulton Howe the 'classic in Kirtland AFB in 1983. It is an alleged briefing paper, exposing the existence of a top secret council that aids the US president on the government’s alien policy. Howe was contacted by Doty in 1982, after she had made a TV documentary on 'cattle mutilations' that argued in favour of a link with UFOs. Doty promised Howe film footage of the aliens which, needless to say, failed to materialise. Writer Whitley Strieber was also told the "live Alien" story by Doty. He relates it in his book Breakthrough: “I intervieweMr. Doty after his retirement, although he apparently told this story while on active duty as well. In my interview, Mr. Doty repeated the same tale that he has told many times, of the capture of a live alien, whom, he said, was a mechanic or engineer aboard a UFO. This being, he continued, had not been able to talk till Air Force surgeons had rebuilt his vocal chords, which was done in 1949. He stated that he had seen videotapes of the alien and is the originator of the now-famous story that aliens like strawberry ice cream.” More on the ice cream later.
The entire campaign was not just a two man show. It may be that the entire disinformation campaign was stage managed from behind the scenes. What the audience in the UFO show sees is a list of authors. Many of the prominent advocates of the 1947 Roswell crash have what can only be described as “intriguing” connections. Both Kevin D. Randle and Colonel Philip J. Corso are former military intelligence officers. Randle served in AFOSI in the mid 1970s; Corso (who died in 1997) was a high-ranking officer in US Army intelligence In the early 1960s, Corso participated in misinformation operations with C.D. Jackson, the head of the psychological warfare department.Jackson “coincidentally” was also involved in the Hill abduction and played an important role in the “aliens abduct American couple” story. When Moore made his confession in 1989, he stated that four other prominent American UFO researchers were also working for AFOSI, but refused to name them.
As to the invisible stage managers: the list of Moore’s contacts with AFOSI and other government departments has become known as “the aviary”, for Moore gave each of them codenames, specifically names of birds. One member of the aviary was Hal Puthoff, listed as Owl. He was a founding father of the remote viewing experiments, which involved the famous spoon bender Uri Geller. A more interesting character is Ron Pandolfi, the "Pelican", who headed the CIA's Weird Desk, which fielded UFO sightings and enquiries from the public. In October, 1988, some of the birds descended on television. A program called UFO Coverup? Live!, produced by Michael Seligman and orchestrated by William Moore had interviews with two "government informants", Falcon and Condor. The "informants" were interviewed behind screens and with their voices electronically disguised, in order to prevent government retaliation – of course. During his interview, Falcon claimed that the MJ-12 group had its headquarters at the Naval Observatory in Washington D.C. and that the US Navy had "primary operational responsibilities of field activities relating to MJ-12 policies." Falcon added that an extra-terrestrial was a guest of the U.S. government at the time, and that the aliens had a base at Area 51 in Nevada. Just to add some colour to these dry facts, Condor added that the “captured” or “ambassador” aliens liked "Tibetan music" and strawberry ice cream. Doty – who was Condor – and Moore had come a long way: from a campaign to fool Bennewitz, Doty was now fooling the entire nation.In case anyone would think there is some validity to the bird’s allegations: Moore himself would later say that the program contained a substantial amount of disinformation, although some of it was true. For sure, those aspects that were true won’t have come from the mouths of his birds.
Though Doty has been the most visible contact and there is some confusion whether Doty was either Condon or Falcon (we will stick with Condor), Moore has always stated that Doty reported into someone (“Falcon”), who sat at the core of the campaign – or at least more in that direction than Doty. By 1988, that person had apparently decided to move from behind the scene… to behind a screen, even though he was willing to be interviewed on television. Moore further claims that Falcon was someone highly placed in the intelligence community – which is evidence of just how deep the rabbit-holeof disinformation ran. But who is Falcon? Timothy Good, Robert Hastings and other researchers believe that Condor is Captain Robert M. Collins (ret.), a former AFOSI officer at Sandia National Laboratories, now a consulting engineer. Queried, Collins stated, "Since being friends with Bill and having a strictly personal interest in UFOs I also knew and understood effective CI [Counter Intelligence] methods to cover the identity of a confidential source. Bill was familiar with these methods.Both the use of my name and Doty’s to cover the identity of ‘Condor’ and ‘Falcon’ worked very well for over 2.5 years.” Some doubt does remain whether Collins was the “real Falcon”, or merely someone who played the role for television. Some claim that the real Falcon, then a man in his 60s, was in the small studio audience for the show. Robert Coleman, who was present, is said to have recognized the man and was surprised to learn that he was involved. Richard Doty and Bill Moore insist that Falcon is someone in the Defense Intelligence Agency in Washington. Thus, Richard Boylan has named Commander C. B. Scott Jones as Falcon. Jones is a former officer with the Office of Naval Intelligence and spent 30 years in the intelligence field overseas. He has been involved in government research and development projects for the Defense Nuclear Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). He is also a former aide to Senator Claiborne Pell, who has had a long-standing interest in UFOs. In the 1990s, Scott Jones would become a well-known speakers on the UFO lecture circuit, though whether he owes this to a bird reputation is officially not clear.
Kirtland Air Force Base
One other bird, Seagull, was Dr. Bruce Maccabee, an optical physicist at the US Naval Surface Weapons Lab in Maryland and a consultant to MUFON Maccabee is well-known for his involvement in the Gulf Breeze UFO sightings case and is one of the people who, after Moore’s public confession, felt it was also time to confess his links with the government, though he argued that he had never been involved in the type of campaign that Moore had been involved in with Bennewitz.
So, did this entire wicked campaign to deceive the American public, making them believe that aliens were hiding in secret bases such as Area 51, begin in 1982, when Doty and Moore hooked up? And what is the role of Moore? Victim, or co-conspirator? That there is more to Moore than meets the eye, is evident from what occurred to Lee Graham, an aerospace worker at Aerojet Electrosystems in Azusa, California who was shown documents like the MJ-12 and Aquarius by Bill Moore, prior to their public release. “Publix release” is not the correct word, as the MJ-12 papers were sent to Moore himself and Jaime Shandera, by an anonymous “source”. Though Doty is most often identified as the main perpetrator of the hoax, some have claimed Moore faked the documents himself. He officially denies this. But back to Graham: he eventually took the documents to his superiors and came under intense security by the Defense Investigative Service (DIS). Moore, who provided the documents, however, was never investigated by DIS even though Lee Graham insisted that an investigation should take place. In 1987, two men visited Lee Graham at work. One of the men identified himself as FBI Special Agent William Hurley. The second man, dressed in civilian clothes, did not identify himself, but later turned out to be Major General Michael Kerby, USAF, who at the time of the visit was Director of the Air Force Legislative Liaison office. The one-hour interview was a pep talk to convince Graham that he should disseminate the MJ-12 document to the public. Graham was also shown the then Top Secret designation of the F-117 ‘Stealth’ fighter.This was an item of interest to Graham, who had been seeking it throughFOIA requests for years. Again, a major carrot was being dangled in front of UFO researchers. Intriguingly, Graham learned the identity of Kerby from C.B. Scott Jones, then a congressional aide to Senator Claiborne Pell. Coincidence, or evidence of Jones’ involvement with UFO disinformation – in his capacity as Falcon? Jones provided Graham with Kirby’s biography and photograph of the general. He told Graham in the accompanying letter that Kirby was a "mutual acquaintance." How the two knew and how Scott Jones knew of the visit are two intriguing questions… When he was later confronted with these questions, Jones stated that the general had been at Senator Pell’s senate suite on a courtesy call, and he had mentioned the visit to Jones, knowing Jones’ "interest in these matters." It’s all a big coincidence, life, is it not… When Graham filed FOIA requests related to his meeting, he discovered that he was being monitored by AFOSI Colonel Barry Hennessey in Washington, D.C. Hennessey was Richard Doty’s boss at AFOSI.
With MJ12 and “the aviary”, a new claim was made, this time involving a “UFO Working Group”. The claim was made in a book by Howard Blum, who had the bad luck to be published in the fall-out of the Moore affaire. As a consequence, his book got a far more sceptical review than most other books, specifically those who had made far bigger claims, had received. The head of the UFO Working Group was given the name "Col. Howard Phillips". In truth, it was Col. John Alexander (Penguin), the former director of non-lethal weapons testing at Los Alamos National Laboratories in New Mexico. Alexander had been one of the birds on Moore’s list, and it seems that the UFO Working Group was just the latest “incarnation” of the Aviary. Jacques Vallee commented that "the Colonel Phillips [John Alexander} secret group is not the real secret group. It is only the latest carrot dangled in front of a public always eager for new revelations…There is clearly an endless supply of such stories, and they are always lunteered to people who are prone to believing them but have no ability to check them." Many of UFO Working Group, turned Aviary, went on to become members of the National Institute of Discovery Sciences (NIDS), started up by Nevada billionaire Robert M. Bigalow. Bigalow is donating his money llllin an effort to better understand the UFO mystery. Apparently.
Bennewitz died on June 23, 2003, at the age of 75. It seems that a campaign, specifically directed towards him, then mushroomed into a public campaign, to make – specifically the American – public believe aliens were here and the government was working with the aliens. Bennewitz’s price was a mental breakdown, but as soon as he had been able to remove UFOs from his life afterwards – shielded from it by his family – he apparently seems to have led quite a happy life, especially when compared with the life he led between 1980 ad 1988. Bennewitz can be seen as a martyr, and in that role he should perhaps be an inspiration to many: to realise that many of the major themes in the UFO communion from aliens in residence in Area 51 to crashed ET spacecraft, is worthy of study, but from the point of view of government disinformation not a possible revelation that will change the world. Seeing the UFO's for what the likes of Doty have made them into, that may set many people free – and might indeed lead to a major revelation: we have been lied to – on purpose – by the government.

New video footage of a fast UFO recorded while hovering int he skies over Plateado, Mexico on 11th August2014.
Witness said: Watch in HD 720) to the east of DF 00:08 The second in the upper right corner the object appears and addresses into the clouds. Recorded with an iPad 2.
A MYSTERIOUS ‘flying disc’ UFO was spotted on a live NASA space webcam – seconds before the video shut down.
Furious extraterrestrial fans have accused the space agency of hiding the truth after the live feed appeared to be cut a webcam showing a mysterious white object to blank.
A ‘glowing disk’ was spotted on NASA’s live webcam from the International Space Station last week, but after being on screen for a little over 30 seconds, the feed shut down.
Space enthusiasts, who were watching the camera, were the first to report several white orbs which were seen on August 4th – the first of three sightings over the past week.
Scott Waring, a blogger from UFO Sightings Daily, was the first man to write about the initial sighting.
On the video on his website, he said: “I took a screenshot of the UFO and enlarged it. It has a long line down its middle and a dome on its top, but is rectangle (sic) on its lower bottom.”
He also refers to it as a “glowing disc.”
And NASA have been accused of hiding the truth – when the object was moving closer to the webcam, it changed to a blue screen, causing YouTube viewers who were watching the footage to be cut off.
Closer to home, Scots have a reputation for spotting UFO’s in the sky.
Over the past 41 years, I have interviewed nearly 150 U.S. military veterans regarding their involvement in, or knowledge of, nuclear weapons-related UFO incidents. On September 27, 2010, seven of those individuals participated in my “UFOs and Nukes” press conference in Washington D.C., which CNN streamed live (see below):
The most recent veteran to come forward, former U.S. Air Force Air Policeman Regenold “Reggie” Brown, contacted me after reading an account by another former USAF Air Policeman, Larry W. Rogers, whose UFO experience is posted at my website. Both had been stationed at Ben Guerir Air Base, Morocco, in the early 1960s, although at different times.
During that era, the base was home to B-47 and B-52 bomber squadrons, whose nuclear weapons would have been unleashed against the Soviet Union and her allies if war between the superpowers had erupted. The location of Ben Guerir, in North Africa, meant that the older model B-47s would not have to refuel in flight to reach targets in the U.S.S.R.
Reggie Brown told me, in an email and follow-up telephone call—his comments are combined here—that he was aware of a UFO incursion at the base:
I was stationed at Ben Guerir in 1961-62 and worked in the Air Police K-9 unit. I do not recall Larry Rogers but he could have been [stationed there] before me or after me.
The only incident I remember occurred when I was guarding the atomic bomb storage site one night. There was a lot of excitement about a lighted sphere, about the size of a basketball, sighted near the runway. [It was] hovering above the ground when the strike team arrived. Their truck’s engine quit working and the radio and the lights too.
The reserve strike team came to the first team’s aid but their truck also quit working. They pushed the first truck back away from the sphere; it was about a hundred feet from it. This all took about 30 minutes. This sphere looked like a bright light during the incident.
Then, as quickly as it appeared, it left. The next day we were taken into a room and told we could not talk about this incident. I did not see this sphere myself because I was working in a different area, but was able to hear all of the chatter on my radio that night.
I asked Brown where the sphere had hovered, relative to the Weapons Storage Area and the Bomber Alert Area. He said, “The runway was three miles long and the object was located about half-way, just off to the side of it. It wasn’t too near the bomb storage site or the bombers.”
I asked Brown who had debriefed him and the other Air Policemen the following day. He said, “Some lieutenant. I don’t think I knew him.” I asked whether that individual might have been an Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI) agent, given that they often debrief USAF personnel following UFO incidents, according to many of my other sources. Brown said he didn’t know. “Whoever he was, he made it very clear that we were not to talk about the sphere; that we would be in big trouble if we did.”
Reggie Brown provided me with his DD214—the U.S. military’s standard service record form—which confirmed his position as a USAF Air Policeman.
On the night of August 11, 2014, many people in Houston, Texas photographed and recorded a bizarre set of lights hovering in the night sky. The large, bright lights moved around each other, making different formations, before disappearing into the clouds. Very similar UFO sightings are occurring all over the world.
A two videos from two independent witnessesfilmed in the remote Irkutsk region of Siberia,Russia, appears to show a strange glowing craft landing and five figures that looks like extraterrestrial aliens walking in the snow.
The cloud looking object had lights or glow around it, the first video showed it and the figures although the camera man/witness didn’t focused on the craft and figurs and filmed them directly, and that’s raising some questions. May be he didn’t noticed the event, or thought it’s a natural phenomena that looks strange on video and more.
The second video shows what look like the moment the object left the ground and took off. Just hours prior to the March 1 incident, air-traffic controllers in Yakutks, Siberia, claim to have picked up a UFO on radar traveling at 6000 mph at a height of 65,000ft. When they tried to communicate with the crew on board they heard strange noises as response.
According to UFO researcher Mike Cohen: ‘Two days after these clips were taken the town of Bayanday reported a crash of a huge pink and blue glowing object. An enormous explosion was then heard over a wide area.’
Edinburgh’s famous military Tattoo is often billed as out of this world – but a mysterious sighting has given that phrase a whole new meaning.
Tourists queuing for the spectacle spotted an unusual sight in the skies above the Castle – and it wasn’t a jet flypast or an exotic bird.
The oddly-shaped light in the sky was captured by Catherine Stuart and her mother Susan, who were in the queue for Saturday’s late-night Tattoo, just before 10.30pm.
Ms Stuart, who lives in London but is originally from South Africa, said she had no explanation for the strange apparition, which disappeared soon after they photographed it.
The 31-year-old said she thought the “weird” object was a bird at first.
She added: “It was very strange to see because when we looked at it again it didn’t look like a bird.
“It was hovering around and then it disappeared. It was a weird shape, like a square light. I have no idea what it was.
;
But rather than off-the-wall theories about alien activity, there may be a perfectly logical explanation – which still involves space. It is likely that the sighting could actually be the International Space Station, which has been spotted by several people in the city over recent days.
There have also been reported sightings of the ATV-5 cargo space ship.
Nasa’s “spot the station” website, which gives detailed information about the optimum times to spot the ISS over the Capital’s skies, said that residents have a chance of getting a glimpse for up to five minutes at a time, until
August 21.
It has been visible from particular co-ordinates in the city since Wednesday.
Meanwhile, taster sessions of the Tattoo are being run in Stirling today as part of a scheme to bring a taste of Edinburgh’s world-famous show to other Scottish cities.
There will be a short parade from Stirling’s Albert Halls, before 600 performers from this month’s sold-out spectacle assemble in Port Street.
The hour-long tasters of the 2014 Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo – featuring the Trinidad and Tobago Steel Orchestra, South Africa’s iNgobamakhosi Zulu Dancers and the Massed Pipes and Drums – were held in Glasgow last week, and will arrive in Dundee next week.
Mike Cantlay, chairman of VisitScotland, said: “A taste of the Tattoo with the stunning backdrop of historic Stirling will be a spectacular sight to behold and as a local, I very much look forward to experiencing the amazing talent on show as they perform to what is always a very enthusiastic crowd.
This is a unique and wonderful celebration of Homecoming, and we hope visitors and residentsalike enjoy a taste of one of the biggest events in Scotland’s year – the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo.”
8/13/2014 – Italy: Good morning, yesterday I caught a photo of Etna erupting, you see an object right in the crater where the smoke comes out is something of a black tip, as if an object is monitoring very closely and half or maybe more, and inside the crater, to exclude birds or insects. – MUFON CMS
The following tale is, most likely, fiction…but it is clever:
Growing up, I had a band of best friends that would spend about every living moment with each other. Most of us weren’t very extroverted and had trouble making new friends outside that circle, but it didn’t matter since we had each other. Despite all our differences, we remained close through high school and subsequently college.
It all started when I was denied for a job I spent my whole life working towards. As if the universe can feel a man’s misery and can only add more darkness, shortly thereafter the disappearances started. First off, we didn’t hear back from Lucas, the beacon of calmness and reason in our group. We tried calling him but there was no answer, and finally we gave up. It might have been some misplaced prank, and we all expected Lucas to just suddenly surprise is again with his presence.
But the disappearances kept on going. One after one, the circle of friends kept shrinking. After there were only three of us left, we realized that this wasn’t some sort of silly joke and we started investigating.
As we gathered more evidence, we remembered more of what happened the weeks before. Suddenly, it was all crystal clear. Some middle aged man that, we suddenly realized, was around us a lot, well we remembered him talking to Lucas just before his disappearance. We eventually came to the conclusion that he was subtly trying to lure him away from us with his sweet words. After this realization we started trailing this man and checking what he did. When we found out he had access to a wide variety of drugs, we believed he might’ve drugged one of our other friends and took him away. This man was for some reason trying to abduct people from our group, for a reason we had no idea of. We were bursting with anger and agreed to confront him and, if he didn’t give in to our intimidation, we would get the police on our case. That was gonna be the first thing next morning.
Silence when I woke up. I was all alone in the place that I once shared with all my friends. My hands were trembling with fear, but slowly my rage got the better of me. No room for rational thinking anymore. I took a kitchen knife and stormed out towards the place where I knew the man worked. I ran past the lobby, almost tore the door to his office off the hinges and jumped at him with pure hatred in my mind and a deadly weapon in my hand. When the security guards pulled me off him he was barely recognizable, entrails and blood smeared across the room.
They keep me in a white padded room. They say I’m too dangerous to stay with the other inmates. Every once in a while the little door opens and I get my meal and sometimes a news paper. It’s my only connection left to the world I used to be a part of. I grab it with a longing for familiarity and start reading the headline.
Patient with multiple personality disorder stabs psychiatrist to death
It might be an internet sting – but this bizarre picture appears to show a Japanese man who keeps a deadly giant hornet on a lead as a pet.
The feared six centimetre (2.5 inches) long Asian insects – which can fly at up to 25 mph – have a powerful, poisonous sting that claims around 40 lives every summer.
But one brave insect lover in Tokyo claims to have tamed one of the bugs – and now even takes it on ‘walkies’ in its own string harness.
The unknown Japanese man, who posted an image of his ‘pet’ on Twitter, claims to have captured the normally highly aggressive hornet with a butterfly net and then held it with tweezers while he removed its sting and poison sacs.
After that, he put a string lead around its thorax, and now the harmless hornet goes everywhere with him.
‘He does bite occasionally but it doesn’t really hurt,’ said its owner.
But the carefully posed photographs have begun to bug other Twitter users, who think the whole thing might be a cunning online sting.
‘These hornets are the nastiest, most aggressive insects in the world. Even without a sting they’d try to bite you to death. There’s no way they could be pets,’ said one.
And one blogger added: ‘I can’t help having a sneaking suspicion that the hornet might actually be dead and is being put into poses for these photos.’ – Yahoo
NOTE: The mere sight of a hornet makes me cringe! Here in Maryland, we have Asian Giant Hornets (same species as in Japan & China). I know because one of these little monsters put me in an emergency room after it got under my shirt and stung me in the back. I still have a scar…the venom caused extreme pain and ate away a small bit of flesh. Lon
A little girl somehow survived almost two weeks alone in a remote bear-infested forest in Siberia.
Karina Chikitova had been on her way to visit her father in Russia’s northeastern Sakha region when, having discovered that he had gone out in to the forest to fight a wildfire, she decided to wander in to the woods to find him with nothing but her pet dog for company.
The alarm was soon raised when she didn’t come back and search parties were organized in an effort to find her. Rescuers were forced to restrict their searches and could only venture out in the presence of special forces due to the abundance of bears.
Incredibly, the girl was found a full 11 days later very much alive but somewhat emaciated. Her whereabouts were discovered after her dog had turned up at a local village, providing rescue teams the opportunity to follow its trail back to her location approximately four miles away.
“It’s simply incredible that she was found safe with so much wildlife in the forest,” said a spokesman.
It is believed that the four-year-old survived by eating berries and drinking from streams while her dog kept her warm at night and scared away predators while she slept. More at Telegraph
On July 17, 2014, local news reporters covering a wildfire inadvertently got more than they were looking for. Thirty-seven seconds into their news report they show a clip of a water tanker dropping fire retardant and above the mountain an object can be seen shooting out of the clouds across the sky. The video changes to another clip before the object can be seen leaving the field of view of the camera.
The original news report can be seen below. An enhanced version of the UFO can be seen above.
The video was captured by the website Castanet.net, a news site that covers Western Canada. They recently posted an article about the attention the UFO is getting in their video. In it they say the original witness reported:
Shot out from the clouds above the mountain during a forest fire near our nieghbourhood. It pulled a wisp of cloud with it as it exited.
A forest fire broke out on the mountain behind us and during the attempt to put it out, this event took place.
I was watching a video online of the fire from a little earlier in the day and i spotted the UFO 37 seconds into the video. I have no idea whether anyone else has noticed this or not. Most folks would be focused on the fire.
37 seconds into the video the UFO comes shooting out from a cloud right above the mountain and passes through a clear spot back into the next cloud. I was quite startled and surprised when i saw it.
The UFO left a thin trail of cloud vaper as it exited the cloud. This, to me, eliminates any thought that this might be a camera lens artifact or light phenomenon effect.
The event lasted only a couple seconds. Judging by the distance i was from the object it had to have been moving very fast. The scene cuts away while the UFO is still visible. I’m left to assume that there must be more footage of it than i saw (sic).
I phoned the website’s news department to ask if it would be possible to see the full footage, but was met with disapproval. In retrospect, perhaps i shouldn’t have mentioned the word UFO. (lol)
The fire was near West Kelowna, about 225 miles northeast of Vancouver. Castanet News did not any offer any suggestions as to what it was they caught on video. However, people have suggested that it could be a bolide. A bolide is another term for a bright fireball or meteor.

Whatever it is, the imagery is incredible. The object clearly passes through the clouds and leaves a trail as it punches through the clouds. It is moving quick and horizontally. It doesn’t appear to maneuver, making it more difficult to rule out a bolide. However, it is very bright and large. We have found no reports of a meteorite landing in the area. Although, it is a remote area.
We have sent the video out to be reviewed by experts and will provide updates as we get them.
UFO enthusiasts, bloggers, space geeks, etc, have been buzzing over unknown objects captured on video from the International Space Station. But the biggest question is…why did NASA cut the live feed from the ISS?:
NASA’s live HD cam has spotted an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) near the International Space Station (ISS), which was captured by a UFO researcher on 7 August.
The sighting appears to be a five pointer glowing object. The eye witness captured the sighting in a three minute 13 second video, which was later posted on YouTube.
“Eyewitness Streetcap1 of Youtube caught this Star-like UFO near the ISS using the this week. It shows incredible detail of what this UFO looks like. Mostly its a glowing five pointed UFO. Note that most UFOs seen around the world are glowing shapes…that includes my own UFO sighting. Amazing catch by a famous UFO researcher.” said Scott Waring, UFO researcher from UFO Sighting Daily.
Recently, Google Earth map spotted a strange object on the moon in July 2014 that appeared to be a shadow of a very large tower or an alien.
The rare image was captured in a one minute 28 second video, which was later posted on YouTube by a user named wowforreeel. The images from Google Earth were submitted to the UFO Sightings Daily.
Again on 12 July, the day of the super moon, a strange UFO was captured passing by the lunar surface. The object was captured in a video, which showed a black circle moving across the moon. It appears that the user was equipped with some powerful tools to catch the object.
In a similar sighting, a magnificent object was spotted on 6 July by residents of Milan, Italy, where UFO like orbs sparkled in the skies. The glowing objects appeared more like a group of angels to the eye witnesses. The beautiful, but strange sighting was captured in a nine minute 31 second video clip and was posted on YouTube. – IBTimes

A local Houston DJ began posting UFO pictures early in the morning on Tuesday, August 12. Local news picked up on the story, and everyone is wondering what the strange lights in the skies could be.
Picture posted to social media according to KPRC. (Credit: KPRC)
The sightings started on Monday night and continued into the next morning. KPRC, the NBC affiliate in Houston, picked up on the story when they saw the Twitter and Instagram posts of @djnayyz. He posted several pictures of round lights in the skies over east Houston.
The DJ, whose stage name is DJ Nayyz, has not been available for interviews, but he has been posting about the media attention he has gotten, and even posted a request from the news for an interview. He seems to be having fun with the event. He gave very little information with the images, the first simply says, “UFO over Houston’s east side.” The second says, “UFO over Houston (sic) or nah?”
First UFO picture posted by DJ Nayyz. (Credit: DJ Nayyz)
Second UFO picture posted by DJ Nayyz. (Credit: DJ Nayyz)
A second witness, who calls himself Mr. Rastafarian, posted a snapchat picture on his twitter, but was also having fun with it. He wrote, “Look closely lol.”

Several people have suggested the lights are just a reflection of the highway lamps in the windshield. Many have noted the similarity between the highway lamps and the circular lights.
Even a friend of DJ Nayyz, who goes by rawlopz, replied to one of the pictures saying, “Hahah good one @djnayyz that’s actually the reflection of the highway lights on the glass door I can’t believe you fooled the news well they believe what ever you tell them.! @djnayyz (sic).”
Nick Torres posted this image on KPRC’s Facebook page of a Houston highway street lamp along with the comment, “Problem solved.” (Credit: Nick Torres)
Another video of some mysterious lights, this time over southeast Houston, were posted online. DJ Nayyz reposted it on his Instagram page and KPRC covered the new UFO video in a follow up news story. In this video, musician Andrew Pena caught some lights in a video on Monday night while he was trying to film the lightening. However, this video looks even more to be a reflection of lights from inside of Pena’s car reflecting on the windshield.
In his news report, KPRC reporter Ryan Korsgard, showed the video on his phone to some Houston residents at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Among those he asked about the video was Dr. Carolyn Sumners, vice president for astronomy at the museum.
Sumners is writing a show about UFOs. She says, “I think the trick in UFO’s is figuring out what else they could be. It’s easy to say that could be the aliens.”
She also explained why she thinks the topics of UFOs is so interesting. “All the way back to recorded history, there are going to be things we can’t explain. That’s what makes it exciting,” she said.
Although these lights appear to be reflections, KPRC is on the case. We’ll let you know of any updates. Meanwhile, DJ Nayyz has remained silent on the issue. However, he is the resident DJ at Limelight Houston. So if you are in the area, today is Twerk Thursday at Limelight Houston, so in-between twerking sessions, you can attempt to ask DJ Nayyz more about his UFO pictures.
DAYLIGHT SIGHTING OF AN OVAL SHAPED UFO OVER NEW JERSEY AUGUST 25, 2014 ……. WEST AMPTON NEW JERSEY
On July 25th, I was driving my car on the NJ Turnpike traveling northbound at approximately 3:30pm. I entered the NJ turnpike on exit 4 and had been driving northbound for approximately 10-30 minutes when I saw a ball/oval shaped object traveling at a high rate of speed directly in front of me in the distance. It ascended very rapidly and made a slight turn which caught my attention, then it traveled directly towards me. As I traveled northbound it traveled southbound directly over the NJ turnpike. Off in the distance was a small airplane carrying one of those big beach advertisements. The object was between me and the plane in the distance (I remember the plane being yellowish or light in color). I would think the plane would have been able to see the object too as it looks like the object originated very close to where the plane was. I did not see any wings on the object, when I saw it I was a bit surprised and didn’t know what it was, I estimate it as about the size of a helicopter although it was a ball shape it had no tail like a helicopter would. I turned my radio down and opened my window as the object quickly approached but I heard no noise as I typically would if it were a helicopter. The whole event from the moment I saw the object until it passed over me was probably no more then 8 seconds, it was very quick. I am the son of a retired pilot. Cars, motorcycle, helicopters, planes, hot-air balloons all interest me and I am familiar with many common shapes and sounds they all make and I can say with confidence I have never seen anything like this. The only thing I can think of is that perhaps it was a large unmanned drone? But I saw no markings on it as well as no way it could fly such as wings or helicopter style blades. NOTE: The above image is a rendering.
Today’s UFO Sighting : A bright UFO is caught on video this week
The reporting witness stated..
The power went out around 10pm. I looked outside to see if any other houses were out. It turned out the whole neighborhood was out and these strange lights were overhead. My wife and I video taped the lights for about 5 min before our battery in the camera went dead. All of our neighbors were out taking pics as well.
Skylaire Alfvegren has been a guest on the Church of Mabus radio show. That week before my show she went missing as well then I found her or she found me and we did the interview. Hopefully she is okay. Prayers.
MISSING; After the recent “Desert in the Contact” gathering at Joshua Tree, California (Aug 8-10, 2014), writer Skylaire Alfvegren has gone missing. If anyone knows where she is, please tell her many people are looking for her and concerned about her well-being.
SkylaireAlfvegren began her professional writing career as a teenager with a column of Fortean exploration for a nationally distributed magazine. “File O’ the Damned” investigated cryptozoology, voodoo, UFO, paranormal and other, lesser known phenomena. From there, she acted as assistant editor for Ben is Dead Magazine and began writing for LA Weekly. Not yet of legal drinking age, she was hired as a consultant on Strange Universe, the Fox Network’s nationally syndicated “paranormal news program.” She was staff film critic for the multimillion dollar, ahead-of-its-time Gen Y web magazine, iFuse.com, and later, E! Online before being sought out as a researcher for SyFy Channel as well as a consultant and producer for various production companies specializing in ufological and paranormal programs.
Een amateur-astronoom denkt dat hij een man (of een buitenaards wezen?) op de maan heeft gezien. De man bestudeerde Google Moon zodanig lang dat hij plots een donkere gedaante zag opduiken bij een krater.
Het bijbehorende filmpje werd in minder dan een maand tijd al meer dan drie miljoen keer bekeken. Nadat YouTube-gebruiker wowforreeel enkele uren Google Moon, de verzameling van miljoenen NASA-foto’s van de maan, had bestudeerd, zag hij een zwarte figuur.
Zwarte figuur op de maan (YouTube)
De internaut meende in januari op Google Moon nog een ruimteschip of geheime basis van buitenaardse wezens te zien in een driehoekige vorm.
De amateur-astronoom besloot de schaduw na een tip verder te onderzoeken. De schaduw is wellicht niet meer dan enkele goedgeplaatste rotsformaties, maar wowforreeel ziet er meer in. Volgens hem gaat het om een groot standbeeld met gespreide armen en benen, zoals in het verhaal van de Kolossus van Rodos. Dat beeld, één van de zeven wereldwonderen van de antieke wereld, was naar verluidt 33 meter hoog en symboliseerde de Griekse zonnegod Helios.
De meest logische verklaring is volgens de Daily Mirror waarschijnlijk het psychisch verschijnsel genaamd pareidolie: het herkennen van gezichten of betekenisvolle objecten in willekeurige of onduidelijke stimuli.
Het is niet voor het eerst dat er vreemde objecten op de maan worden ontdekt. Zo dachten speurders eerder al een ruimteschip en zelfs een vliegtuig op het maanoppervlak te zien. De Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA heeft nog niet gereageerd op de ontdekking.
Three Joplin, MO, UFO witnesses are speaking out on the July 8, 2014, sighting where the object was originally reported as “bigger than a house,” according to Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) Missouri Assistant State Director Margie Kay and STAR Team Investigator Larry Jordan.
Kay and Jordan examined sites on July 13 where three credible witnesses saw a UFO and had strange experiences.
From Kay’s report issued today:
“A retired airline pilot who asked to remain anonymous, Joplin Globe general manager John Cruzan and health technician Traci Cruzan of south Joplin, Missouri, had a close encounter with an Unidentified Flying Object.
“On July 8 at 9:15 p.m. the retired pilot was walking his dog in front of his house when he noticed a quarter-sized object with orange lights in the sky north of his location. As the object approached from a high altitude to a low altitude on a straight-line trajectory he realized that it was no standard aircraft. The object was very large, teardrop in shape with multiple orange, blue, and yellow lights underneath.
The three Joplin, MO, witnesses drove one mile away to this field where they believed the UFO may have landed. (Credit: MUFON)
“As John Cruzan and his wife Traci rounded the corner in their Jeep, the pilot flagged them down. The two jumped out of their vehicle just as the object was flying an estimated 300 feet or less overhead. The three witnesses said that the object was approximately one-acre wide and one-acre in length. They said that there was absolutely no sound coming from the object whatsoever, and that this concerned them.
“The pilot said, ‘I know what different aircraft sound like and there should have been a engine sound but there was none. And what was keeping that thing in the air? There were no wings or tail and it was flying too slow to be airborne.’
“The witnesses all said they felt like the situation was surreal. The pilot said that there was no sound in the area as he watched the object overhead, yet John Cruzan heard the pilot’s dog barking at the object. The neighborhood dogs all barked at the object as it flew over the homes in the area.
“The three witnesses watched the object go down behind trees and thought that it may have landed in a nearby cow pasture. They jumped in the Jeep and raced to the field which is approximately one mile away from their homes.
“As the three pulled to the side of the road, the vehicle’s warning beep started to go off. There were no doors open to cause the sound. John shone a large bright flashlight into the field but the flashlight went very dim. He had a difficult time getting the Jeep in to gear, which never happened before.
The Jeep the witnesses were driving experienced mechanical problems when they were close to the area where they believed the UFO landed. (Credit: MUFON)
“Finally, he got the Jeep to move on, and then turned around, but when they arrived at the same spot the vehicle’s warning beep again went off and the flashlight went dim again. The next day, the radio’s presets were all gone.”
Missouri MUFON investigators found anomalous electro-magnetic field readings on the ground at the site as well as the top of the Cruzan’s vehicle. More investigative techniques will be used in the near future including testing of trees and grass at the site.

The three witnesses decided to go public in an effort to get answers to what they saw. Missouri MUFON requests that any other witnesses to this event or similar events contact Margie Kay at 816-833-1602 or margiekay06@yahoo.com.
Joplin is a city in southern Jasper County and northern Newton County in the southwestern corner of Missouri, population 50,150.

Missouri has a current UFO Alert Rating of 4 with a higher than average number of recent reports nationally. Missouri had 24 UFO reports in July 2014 – the 9th highest reporting state – while California had 104 reports as the highest reporting state. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels – 1 through 5 – where states with 150 or more reports for the month are rated an Alert 1; states with 100 or more reports are rated an Alert 2; 25 reports or more for the month are rated an Alert 3; 13 or more reports are rated an Alert 4; and those states with less than 13 reports for the month are an Alert 5.
“This was discovered by Streetcap1 of Youtube. He was watching the live NASA ISS cam and caught this on HD. Nice catch. These glowing objects actually come into focus for a few seconds and reveal that they are four very large glowing orbs. The orbs are in formation, so they can get noticed more easily by the astronauts or live cam. Yes, I believe they did this on purpose,” reports Scott Waring author of UFO Sightings Daily

Mysterieuze objecten gefilmd bij internationaal ruimtestation ISS
Mysterieuze objecten gefilmd bij internationaal ruimtestation ISS
Op 4 augustus jongstleden werd bij het internationale ruimtestation ISS door één van de webcams van de NASA een witte lichtbol gezien. Blogger Scott Waring van UFO Sightings Daily omschreef het object als een ‘oplichtende schijf’.
De Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie heeft in totaal vier webcams aan het ISS vastgemaakt. In HD-kwaliteit kunnen nieuwsgierigen ‘live’ meegenieten van het uitzicht. De beelden worden eerst naar aarde gestuurd en geformateerd, voordat ze worden uitgezonden. Voor de kijkers met geduld is er iedere drie kwartier een zonsondergang of –opgang te zien.
In drie verschillende filmpjes is te zien hoe de webcam buiten het internationale ruimtestation één of meerdere mysterieuze witte lichtbollen opvangt. De reeks waarnemingen bij het ISS begon op 4 augustus, meldt de Houston Chronicle.
“Ik maakte een screenshot van de UFO en zoomde in,” aldus Waring op zijn website. “In het midden van het object loopt een lange lijn. Bovenop zit een koepel. Van onderen bekeken is het vierkant van vorm.”
Terwijl het object steeds dichterbij lijkt te komen, schakelt de camera halverwege het filmpje over op een leeg, blauw scherm. Voor sommigen is dit reden om aan te nemen dat NASA de waarheid verbergt.
In de tweede video, die dateert van 7 augustus, is een wit licht boven de atmosfeer van de aarde te zien. Het licht verdwijnt langzaam uit het zicht.
Het laatste filmpje toont een aantal witte stippen die in de buurt van het internationale ruimtestation verschijnen. Na een minuut verdwijnen de vier stippen uit beeld.
Farmer may hold UFO clue to 36-year Valentich plane mystery
This photograph was taken off Cape Otway 20 minutes before pilot Frederick Valentich went missing. Picture: Supplied Source: News Limited
INVESTIGATORS have shed new light on one of Australia’s greatest aviation mysteries.
Almost 36 years to the month that Victorian pilot Fred Valentich vanished without a trace, an independent researcher says there is evidence suggesting the 20-year-old’s Cessna was spotted in the sky over South Australia — attached to a UFO.
The Victorian UFO Action group wants help to identify a farmer near Adelaide who reportedly witnessed the 30m craft hovering over his property the morning after Mr Valentich went missing.
It is claimed the Cessna was stuck to the side of the craft, leaking oil. The farmer even scratched the plane’s registration number on to his tractor but never came forward with the information because he was ridiculed by the few friends he told.
The theory has sparked furious debate as the nation’s leading UFO investigators prepare for a national conference in Melbourne next month.

Lead investigator George Simpson, one of the last people to see the plane in the sky, says the farmer, if still alive, might have information to solve the mystery.
He conceded there was no proof, but said it was the best new lead for a case that had intrigued Australians for decades. “It’s easy for some to dismiss, but there are corroborating stories confirming that there was a UFO near Adelaide at the time,” Mr Simpson said.
Mr Valentich had been on a routine cargo flight to King Island in October 1978 when he disappeared.
In his last conversation with air traffic control, he reported an object hovering in front of him and said it was “not an aircraft’’. It was the last thing Mr Valentich said before a strange metallic clicking sound was heard and the transmission stopped.
Extensive searches failed to find any trace of the plane or the pilot.
“This was an experienced pilot who should have been able to identify another aircraft but was clearly unable to,” Mr Simpson said.
Adding to the mystery, an amateur photo taken in the area that evening shows a dark unidentifiable shape in the sky.
Investigators are also trying to find a copy of Valentich’s final transmission that was originally aired on Melbourne radio station 3XY.
The Valentich case will be among a string of Aussie X-files to be discussed when the Victorian UFO Action group hosts its “Age of Reason” conference on September 6.
“Strange days, strange tales” – a Valentich connection?
On Monday 21 October 2013 35 years will have passed since young pilot Frederick Valentich disappeared on a flight to King Island in Bass Strait. It is one of the major aviation mysteries of Australia. The following article has been prepared to see if there is anyone out there who can help with information pertinent to the story revealed here.
Consider this as a preliminary progress report on some strange days and strange tales in the lives of some UFO researchers pursuing a possible resolution of one of the stranger folios from the OZ Files – the Australian UFO story.
“The Unexplained Files” series on the Discovery Science channel debut in September 2013 featuring a good recreation of the extraordinary 1978 Valentich mystery. My friend George Simpson (based in Melbourne Victoria) was instrumental in the excellent accounting of this story on the programme.
The disappearance of young pilot Frederick Valentich and the Cessna (VH – DSJ, Delta Sierra Juliet) he was flying over Bass Strait and the UFO encounter he described in his conversation with Melbourne Air Service controller Steve Robey are all extraordinary aspects of one of the major aviation mysteries of Australia.

The Roy Manifold photo showing a possible UFO
The programme featured Steve Robey obviously still distressed about the disappearance of Valentich. Frederick’s younger brother Richard gave the family’s dimension to the story. Both these elements remind us that a disturbing and tragic element still haunts this mystery. George Simpson interviewed Roy Manifold who took some intriguing photos at the time and locality of Valentich’s departure from the Australian mainland on route to King Island in Bass Strait. There were many other interesting aspects described in the programme.

In the wake of the release of the long awaited official Valentich files from the Australian government’s Department of Transport during June 2012, (largely through the persistence of Keith Basterfield) which provided information for a wide range of conflicting theories, the Discovery Science programme reminds us that the disappearance of Frederick Valentich and the Cessna is still a mystery for which we have no certain answers.
The Department of Transport "Valentich" file V116/783/1047
Dr. Richard Haines who investigated the case and authored a book on it – “Melbourne Episode – case study of a missing pilot” (1987) facilitated the airing of the actual strange sound heard at the end of Frederick Valentich's last radio conversation with Steve Robey. I heard the tape back in 1984 when I stayed with Dr. Haines in California.
It was Richard Haines comment in the programme that the sound might be of contact between the Cessna plane (DSJ) and the UFO Valentich had been describing in the six minute conversation that caused me to suddenly reconsider a very strange story I had come across back in early 1995.
HIGH STRANGENESS IN COONABARABRAN
The "Coonabarabran Times" of Coonabarabran, in north west country New South Wales, Australia, in its November 17th, 1994 issue, carried brief details of an apparent close encounter with a diamond shaped UFO near ground level on November 15th, 1994, on the Mendooran road to the south of the town. With the assistance of local police, I was able to interview the 4 principal witnesses to this apparent close encounter.
The Mendooran Road UFO was initially seen as a large light source hovering over the nearby road. An approaching car appeared to cause the object to start moving. and slowly move closer to a farm house, where the 4 adults witnesses were observing it. At its closest point all witnesses described it as a massive object - a diamond shape with lights around the edges, with window like structures within the body of it. There was a very bright yellow light inside it. It appeared to be at tree height and of massive dimensions. As the 4 adults left the house verandah to go closer to the silent object, which seemed to be only 300 yards away and slowly passing along side the house area, it suddenly accelerated at a phenomenal speed and disappeared in the distance. After the object had passed by there was a tremendous high pitched engine noise, almost like a sonic wave.
The details were so striking I decided to do an on site investigation. Further still I had long known that Coonabarabran seemed to be a haven for UFO stories. There were many reports that my friend Robb Tilley and I would investigate over the days we were in the area.Here are a few of them. On the same section of Mendooran Road of the November 1994 incident a driver coming from Sydney to Coonabarabran had an encounter in which the radio and other electrical items in the car were affected.I spoke with a gentleman who witnessed another massive diamond shaped object while timber cutting near Binaway, back in about 1979. His companion allegedly took a photograph, which my informant indicates he saw. It apparently showed a silvery shape with sections without the observed lights. The informant states he was told the army took the photo and he believes that his companion ended up in a mental home. He implied it was due to the photo incident.
AN ASTRONOMER'S UFO SIGHTING
The Sydney Morning Herald of January 11, 1995 ran an article featuring a UFO sighting by Dr. John Dawe, the manager of the Sidings Spring Observatory, near Coonabarabran. Dr. Dawe is an internationally respected astronomer. The article stated that many months ago he was driving back from Sydney with his wife and daughter.
"We were going up a hill near Merriwa, at the top of the Hunter, when I happened to look up at the sky. There was a uniform, grey cloud cover, but suddenly something seemed to detach itself, hover for a while, then fall vertically very quickly below the brow of the hill. I yelled an expletive, which made everyone take notice. My wife saw the same thing, but by the time we got to the top we couldn't see anything."My tentative explanation was that it was a weather balloon. But it was grey, rather than silver, and was elliptical horizontally, not vertically."Dr. Dawe was quoted as saying it was "classic stuff.""It was something I still cannot explain. But I am 99.99 per cent certain it was nothing alien."
Dr. Dawe did not respond to a letter I sent him, but another Coonabarabran astronomer told me that he felt Dr. Dawe's report was only unexplained because unfortunately Dr. Dawe could not stick around immediately after the sighting and thoroughly investigate the matter. The sentiment expressed was that an explanation would have been forthcoming had a prompt investigation occurred.
LAURIE'S STORY FROM A SOUTH AUSTRALIAN FARMERABOUT A UFO & A CESSNA THE DAY AFTER THE VALENTICH DISAPPEARANCE
So there were many stories to look into in the area. One of the area witnesses told me that I should seek out Laurie a local businessman, who had a lot of UFO stories to tell that he himself had heard.
One story was utterly startling and unbelievable, but it was apparently connected to the Valentich mystery, initially told to me by one of the Coonabarabran witnesses who had heard it through Laurie. Others encouraged us to ask Laurie about other stories. We did both, but the story in question stood out.
Laurie told us he had heard the story directly from a South Australian farmer who had bought a property in the north west of New South Wales. The farmer had come into his business and the talk had strayed onto UFOs. He shared with Laurie an experience he had on his South Australian property on the day following the disappearance of Frederick Valentich.
The farmer said he was harvesting lucerne when he heard a loud screeching sound coming from the harvester. He thought it might have been a bearing, so he uncoupled the harvester from the tractor’s power drive, and jumped off and went back to have a look. The farmer was trying to work out the source of the continuing noise, when he became aware that he was in shadow. He looked up and saw he was directly underneath a large “saucer” shaped object, and going by the size of his harvester, he estimated it to be about 30 metres across (approximately 90 feet). The loud screeching noise continued. From directly underneath the object the farmer reportedly could see two concentric outer rings or bands that were counter rotational and were operating at different speeds. One went very fast, so fast that you had to blink to see that it was moving. The other one was moving very slowly in the opposite direction. There were two small protuberances that the farmer took to be rudders, and two large holes, one had ‘shimmering heat’ coming out, the other was shooting small flames.
The farmer began to think there was something horribly wrong with this huge object and that it might crash down on him. So he ran to get out from under it. He got the impression that one of object’s engines had stopped working.
As he moved away the farmer looked back at the object which he could now see edge on. It had a large dome on top, and what looked like a black weather seal along the base of the dome structure. He then noticed what looked like a “church door with a curved top, but no windows or handles were visible.”
He then told Laurie the most unusual thing was that he saw the massive object had a Cessna stuck to the outside of it – “the whole aircraft.” It was flat up against the side of the object with it’s tail hanging down. Laurie said he was not sure whether the farmer said there was engine oil running down the outside of the Cessna but he could clearly see the plane’s registration markings.
He found a nail and scratched the plane’s registration number into the paint of his tractor. According to Laurie, the farmer said the object – “the saucer” – still accompanied by the screeching sound then flew away over a ridge in the direction of a nearby Army range.
The farmer said to Laurie he told no one about what happened. He went into town later in the day. One of his neighbours saw him and apparently said, “I see you are doing some more crop spreading”. He said no, why do you say that. The neighbour said, “I saw the Cessna today up in your top paddock.” The farmer told Laurie, he replied to his neighbour, “There’s no Cessna in my top paddock.” The neighbour insisted, “Yes there is, I was up near there, I saw it there today.” The farmer said, “That’s interesting, I’ll have a look when I get home.”He went up to the top paddock and saw no plane, but he did see three tyre marks and some tracks from a plane. He followed the tracks to where they ended, and there was “a pool of ’flamin’ engine oil” on the ground. I recorded the story from Laurie on two separate occasions, one over the phone in January 1995 and face to face in Coonabarabran one month later in the presence of my friend Robb Tilley. Laurie was impressed with the story. Robb and I simply did not know what to think. Getting further information proved elusive.
As I had lived through the Valentich mystery unfolding at the time in 1978 and had written extensively about the research and investigation of the extraordinary events I was acutely sensitive to the bizarre and strange aspects. I also had contact with Guido Valentich, Frederick’s father and I knew that he had been exposed to various claims about what had happened to his son. He even helped me investigate one claim, which ultimately ended in no real resolution, just another unverifiable claim. Sadly Guido Valentich passed away without a definitive answer to his son’s disappearance.
With Laurie’s account from the farmer I had yet another extraordinarily bizarre and unbelievable claim. Laurie told me the farmer returned on another occasion with the Cessna’s registration number. It was DSJ the number of Valentich’s Cessna. This in itself was not convincing for me because that information was widely reported at the time of the plane’s disappearance.
I did not want to burden the Valentich family or authorities with yet another unverified story. The biggest problem the story had for me then was that Laurie couldn’t recollect the farmer’s name. He told me he had written all this down in notes, but he had not been able to find them. I stayed in touch with Laurie for a while but despite attempts to come up with a name, without his notes we couldn’t progress the investigation unless we had a vast amount time and resources available. I circulated a brief account on Paranet (a favoured research internet facility) at the time but nothing came of it. So the story stayed a sleeper until Dr. Haines comments on the Discovery Science programme “The Unexplained Files.” I immediately accessed my notes and tapes and began to evaluate whether the considerably improved resources of the internet, social media and other resources would now allow another attempt at getting to the heart of the story. Sadly, I quickly learnt that Laurie had past away about 7 years ago.
I contacted George Simpson and shared the story with him. We both agreed that despite the bizarre nature of the story we should try to see if we could track down anyone who had knowledge of the story and see if we could get a name for the farmer. We have since been tracking down all sorts of clues.
THE BIZARRE STORY OF A NSW FARMER
We have even talked with a farmer who described a similar experience - a UFO over his property with a Cessna attached to it on the day following the Valentich disappearance! His is a story with bizarre additions to the tale told to Laurie. It seems this farmer may not have talked to Laurie in Coonabarabran. He was not from South Australia and his property was in southern central News South Wales near the Victorian border! The former farmer, from southern New South Wales, talks of a part of his property he gave over to UFOs that would land from time to time. This became an obsession that his neighbours became aware of. He even tried crude strategies to catch the UFOs.
Then allegedly, there was the day and night the UFO came with a Cessna plane attached to the side of it. The story this farmer told included a visit to his homestead by a pilot, accompanied by a strange person, seeking aviation oil, a strange story of a pilot “forced” to fly a Cessna away from the area and an impossible tale of an object from the plane left in a tree stump as a clue, the farmer thought, that the pilot and “the plane” had been there, hoping to be found. The farmer thought this was a flight recorder “black box,” but this certainly could not be, as civilian Cessna aircraft, such as VH-DSJ, did not have one. That connection and other factors make this former NSW farmer’s story both troubling and problematic. His former neighbour, who I have spoken to, does not confirm details attributed to them, but does confirm curious UFO stories all coming from the former farmer, some seemingly predating October 1978 – the period the Valentich disappearance occurred in.Had he heard the story of the South Australian farmer and made it his own, absorbing it into his own UFO obsessions? There are perhaps curious echoes with other diverse tales of Valentich returning from Spanish, Russian and American sources, none which convinced me upon trying to thoroughly examined the dubious evidence for them.
We have not yet found the South Australian farmer who spoke with Laurie. All our investigations to date have supported that Laurie had a great memory, but unfortunately in this case when it came to names we need his notes and these may be lost to us. We hope not. Our investigations continue as we go through a number of different names and clues. We hope that our investigation or someone reading this might have facts that will stand up to scrutiny and give us the possibility of figuring out if this wild tale is the stuff of UFO high strangeness and an answer to the Valentich mystery, or just another ultimately unverified story. Hopefully time will tell and we will be able to report further on this fascinating or beguiling story.
CAN YOU HELP?
We owe it to the Valentich family to find out. Contact George Simpson or me if you have any information that might help in our investigation at aufornvic@optusnet.com.au or billozfiles@tpg.com.au
Some things are certain in our wild ride – these are strange days, strange tales. Far less certain is whether we are trying to resolve a genuine story, strange echoes of one, or a tall tale from down under – a strange kind of bush “urban legend” in the making. So far it has been an intense, intriguing and occasionally frustrating investigation of a tale from the OZ files.
As the news of the day pulsed along the once seemingly unthinkable pathways of the information industry — boots on the ground in Gaza, slide show updates on Mila Kunis’s pregnancy — adherents ofan earlier future gathered at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. The occasion was the annual conference of the Mutual Unidentified Flying Objects Network, which, in accordance with this year’s theme, “UFOs and the Media,” was focused not on the ephemera of the news cycle but rather on the eternalities of what several in attendance called “the biggest single story in history,” i.e., the existence of extraterrestrial life on Earth and the cover-up of that presence by the United States government, the corporate structure, and their oblivious and/or sold-out lackeys in the mainstream press.
While this year’s symposium attracted a reported 400 people, this was a far cry from the thousands who attended the MUFON conference in the late 1970s, after Close Encounters of the Third Kind introduced extraterrestrials to the mainstream moviegoer. That was at a time when a lot of people actually believed that these mysterious things from the sky represented the biggest single thing in history. Since then, despite the recent astronomical findings of the so-called “Goldilocks zone” that postulates sentient life is possible throughout the galaxy, ufology has apparently lost its grip on the public imagination, and has been demoted to a neo-cult status. For the populace at large space is no longer the place. Not that this mattered to those gathered at Cherry Hill. Used to marginalization, they were resolved to keep watching the skies.
The tone was set by keynote speaker George Knapp, an Emmy-winning reporter for KLAS-TV in Las Vegas, perhaps the best known above-ground correspondent on the ET beat, if you don’t count people like C.J. Jung, who late in life developed a deep interest in what is called “the phenomena.” A debonair raconteur, Knapp spoke of the ridicule he’d received from his MSM colleagues. “I’ll always be the UFO guy,” Knapp related with wry j’accuse, recalling how after doing a story about alleged alien medical procedures, he found himself labeled “the Grand Mullah in the Church of Cosmic Proctology.” The point wasn’t whether UFOs were “real” or a mass hallucination. The news was that people kept seeing them. Yet, according to the gatekeepers of supposed reality, Knapp said, “you, me, and everyone in this room are just a bunch of nuts.”
This was fun, especially when Knapp began talking about Area 51, “the world’s best known top secret base.” In 1989, Knapp broke the story of Robert Lazar, a then 30-year-old scientist who claimed to have worked the remote military facility in the Nevada desert. Lazar’s epic account of how the US armed forces were “reverse engineering” alien technology from crashed and captured flying saucers has become a cornerstone of the late stage UFO narrative. As soon as Lazar opened his mouth, “the meme was on the loose,” Knapp said, resulting in many books, movies, and Area 51-inspired product campaigns accompanied by theme music from the X-Files.
In the context of today’s ever-narrowing attention span, there was only one drawback to this 25-year-old story: It was 25 years old.
Not that the old was out of place in this crowd. MUFON has been around for 45 years and the average age of those who ponied up $239 for the conference was way past that. Many of the presenters, most of them long-established figures on the scene (Stanton Friedman, the 79-year-old widely acknowledged dean of the field, had to cancel owing to a mild heart attack) were equally venerable, as were most of the subjects they discussed. Much talk focused on the genre’s greatest hits: the Betty and Barney Hill abduction account (1961), the Lonnie Zamora/Socorro, New Mexico sighting (1973), the Rendlesham Forest incident in the U.K. (1980), and, of course, Roswell, circa 1947.
As noted, it wasn’t always this way. In another post-A bomb time ufology seemed a wholly appropriate response to a newer, bigger, and far more frightening world. Long before the appearance of Ezekiel’s wheel, people knew something was up there, and now that we’d fired off this nuclear bottle rocket capable of killing millions, the watchers had come in for a closer look. Suddenly palpable millennialism gave impetus to a number of so-called “ufo religions” ranging from the Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s talk of the liberating “mother plane” to ex-sci-fi writer L. Ron Hubbard’s Scientology. It also enabled a breed of typically American loner “independent researchers.” These were the free-thinking, often highly competitive (later highly paranoid) individuals who drove their vehicles into the middle of the desert, looked up into the vast firmament decided that, for better or worse, there had to be another world beyond this one. The fact that the UFO issue represented the first time a large segment of population felt the then-trusted government was withholding the truth from the public only whetted the frisson of the hunt.
It is true that very little beyond a shadow of a doubt forensic proof of alien presence has come to light over the years, but there are a number of subsidiary reasons for the seeming twilight of the UFO moment. With voracious proliferation of vampires, New World Order conspiracies, and the unprecedented rise of evangelical Christianity, the simple flying disc from far, far away has become a quaint, almost nostalgic specter. The saucer may have been the post-war generation’s signifier of the strange, but even versions of the unknown outlive their usefulness. The end of the era may have commenced with William Gibson’s Neuromancer, which located the drama of the unknown inside the claustrophobic cyberspace accessible to the common keyboardist. Instead of the far-flung wonder to the universe, much of what falls under the rubric of contemporary ufology has become deeply interiorized, resigned to the viscous psych-sexual abduction phenomena described and popularized by people like Budd Hopkins, Whitley Strieber, and John Mack. It is a narrative bothers many “hard science” ufologists. “I’m trying to evaluate these sightings,” said Tom Deuley, a no nonsense retired Naval officer, former NSA employee and a leading MUFON investigator for 37 years. “When you bring in crop circles, time-traveling and abductions, these things are hard to quantify.”
It made you wonder where, short of a landing on the White House lawn, ufology could possibly go from here. Case in point was the presentation of Steven Bassett, this year’s winner of the “Excellence in Ufology” award (MUFON executive director Jan Harzan called it “the biggie’). The first registered Washington lobbyist advocating the position that humanity is not alone in the universe, Bassett organized last year’s “Citizen’s Hearing” which enlisted several ex-congress people including former Alaska Governor Mike Gravel to hear testimony on what is now being called “exopolitics” so as to avoid being saddled by the ufology brand. People like astronautEdgar Mitchell, who walked on the moon, made the case for extraterrestrial visitation. The hope is that the mock hearings would lead to the real thing, which, Bassett was certain would “blow the lid off the Truth Embargo on the alien question that has existed since Roswell.”
After his presentation, I spoke with Bassett, an ardent former business consultant in his middle 60s who described the Disclosure quest as “my life, now.” Victory was inevitable, he thought, saying, “the Catholic Church’s attempt to suppress the Copernican revolution was a doomed enterprise. Now we’re talking about something far more profound than that … when the government tries to contain the reality of the galaxy, that is a task that is Herculean and ultimately can not succeed.” Once the alien presence was acknowledged, humanity would take a meaningful step into “maturity,” Bassett contended.
There was a manic, almost desperate optimism to Bassett’s Disclosure dream that had to be respected. Yet, many conference attendees had their doubts about the program. Bassett had just finished telling me that the Roswell crash probably resulted from the mid-air collision of two alien craft in a thunder storm. This happened, he said, because these were relatively primitive ships. Bassett said he “liked” this explanation. Other people did too. But what happened when the no-doubt heavily redacted “truth” came out and said something different? Wasn’t much of ufology about speculation, peering into the abyss? Besides, several said, what made Bassett so certain the government could end “the Truth Embargo” even if they wanted to? Perhaps the aliens, more powerful and smarter than our lowly bunch, did not want to be Disclosed. Maybe they liked things just the way they are, skulking around the shadowy mythland of the subconscious they’ve inhabited all these eons. Offering a smile, Bassett said. “Well, I guess you’ll just have to ask them about that.”
None of this, however, was a reason to close the books on flying saucers. This would be impossible, since if you happened to have laid eyes on something you sincerely believed to be a UFO, it tends to stick. I will never be free of that cold winter’s night in 1989 when, along with my wife, I saw a saucer-shaped object fly down the East River and soar beneath the Brooklyn Bridge. The way the craft seemed to coquettishly blink its lights as if to say, "even here, I appear, and then disappear" told me, that against all rationality, this particular interface with the ineffable was meant for me.
These are the things you talk about with people like H. Dyke N. Spear at UFO conferences. As George Knapp said, the subject matter does “tend to attract those whose elevator does not got all the way to top,” but you’ll never see Dyke Spear in a tinfoil hat. Past 80, he remained a man of the world, still practicing divorce law in West Hartford, Connecticut. Once he represented the famous featherweight boxing champion Willie Pep. “It was like Willie’s fifth divorce,” Spear related. “He said, relax, this is an easy case. Just give her five rooms of furniture and a fur coat. That’s what they always get.” Asked whether he took any abuse from friends and family about attending UFO conferences, Dyke laughed. “What are they going to tell me, I don’t know what I know?”
Fernando Garces-Soto, a wry, 60-ish Colombian-born music producer from Miami and fellow witness, was taking it more personally. “I’m spending a $1,000 to come to this. That’s a lot of money for the same old stories. This rehash, and more rehash. Probably next year I’ll spend another $1,000. What choice do I have?” Fernando exclaimed, finding the existential humor of the situation. “I’m obsessed,” he sighed. “I’m all messed up.”
Why did America lose its fascination with flying saucers?
The Chilean government’s civil aviation department recently met on whether or not UFOs pose a threat to their military air operations. Upon examination of their recorded UFO cases, and with input from their official UFO investigation organization, they decided that no threat exists.
Unlike the United States, and many other western countries, Chile takes the UFO phenomenon very seriously. They have their own agency for investigating the phenomenon called the Committee for the Studies of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena (CEFAA). It is part of the Ministerial Department of Civil Aeronautics (DGAC), their equivalent to our FAA. CEFFAA also works closely with the Chilean air force.

Author and journalist Leslie Kean has been keeping tabs on CEFAA and broke the news of the meeting on a blog post on the Huffington Post. She says the meeting took place on July 31, and was organized by CEFAA’s director, General Ricardo Bermúdez. He invited nineteen experts with varying background to explore the question of military air safety in regards to UFOs. The group convened for three hours.
Coverage of the meeting on the official DGAC YouTube page can be seen above.
Kean says the group had already determined that UFOs are a real phenomenon worthy of serious study. This includes scientists and DGAC specialists. She writes:
Among the DGAC specialists were the director of the Meteorological Observatory, the chief of Radar Operations Metropolitan Center, the head of Accident Investigations, DGAC chief of operations, the director of Airport Security Operations, and an aerospace engineer.
Representatives from different branches of the armed forces and the police corps were also present. All of them, including a navy commander who is in charge of flight security for navy aviation, are also pilots, or have been in the past. Along with Mercado, Bermúdez was once a combat pilot.

Kean highlighted some of the discussion leading to the final decision. The DGAC chief of operations pointed out that their evidence shows unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), another term for UFOs, demonstrates “intelligent behavior,” and as such it is important to discover the nature of the UAP’s intentions.
He said, “Intelligence is what matters. If this is so, we must ask: has it shown hostility or carried out openly threatening maneuvers? Has it actually attacked our aircraft? To date, this doesn’t seem to be the case. We cannot possibly call something a threat to something or someone if they have not shown any open intention to do harm.”
Navy captain Roberto Borè agreed, saying, “Aside from any natural distractions to the flight crews, the risks so far have been null. We cannot call UAP a risk to our operations, not even a low risk.”
Radar control chief Mauricio Blanco also agreed, but stressed the need for a scientific evaluation of the risk. Blanco told the group, “In aeronautics, we have to measure risk scientifically and we have all the tools for that. We have to establish a ‘risk matrix,’ considering possibility and probability. The risk level [for UAP] has not been analyzed. It can be measured, and given the probabilities, this level is very low.”
Throughout her report, Kean points out the vast difference in the way the UFO phenomenon is handled in Chile versus the U.S. She writes about her visit to a radar center in Santiago where Blanco collects UFO reports. They have a careful protocol to maintain the integrity of the cases, and Kean says she found it “hard to get used to the fact that UFOs are fully accepted as part of life in Chile.”

CEFAA’s Director of International Affairs Jose Lay told her, “For Chileans, this is completely normal and we don’t consider it news at all.”
During the meeting, officials comment on UFOs as a matter of fact, such as the DGAC expert on accident investigations who said, “Until now, in practice, we have seen only the effects. And those we have captured through photographs, videos, official reports, testimonies, etc. And thus, we are able to say the phenomenon exists. But its origin, we have not defined. And without this definition, we cannot establish a strategy to counteract it. … I have spoken with pilots who have had sightings. So far, none has experienced undue concern, just plain curiosity.”
In the end, the experts agreed that more multi-disciplined study into the nature of UFOs was necessary. The air force psychologist also suggested more education for pilots about UFOs. A nuclear chemist in the meeting also explained why this would be important.
The chemist said, “If our civilian and military pilots are well informed about UAP, the risk due to distraction will come down to a minimum because the surprise factor will not be there.”
Kean says the conclusions regarding air safety were clear.
“Based on the evaluation at the meeting, the committee concluded that UAP do not present a threat or a danger to air operations, either civilian or military,” Bermúdez said. “Although there have been a small number of accidents attributed to UAP around the world, none have withstood an objective examination that presented unmistakable proof that UAP were the cause.”

West Chester, PA – 7/1977 – unedited: At the time, I was 18 yrs old. I was on my 3rd flr bedroom sleeping. My mother came & woke me and said “I have to show you something”. I went downstairs to her bedroom on the 2nd floor and we saw the UFO hovering over a building across the parking lot behind my house. I knew it was a UFO as soon as I saw it. It looked to be between 20-25 yards in length. It had a row of 4 colored lights that rotated around the whole craft. They looked to be approx. 4′x8′. There was a small dome on the bottom of the craft. There was a windshield approx. 10′x40′ above the lights and I could see several occupants in thru the windshield. I observed 2 tall occupants and 4 shorter ones. I then told my mom I was going to go to my bedroom to get my telescope to get a closer look. I don’t remember what happened after that. The next thing I remembered was walking down the steps (without my telescope). My mom was standing in the 2nd flr hallway and told me the UFO went straight up and was gone in 2 seconds. We then just said good night and didn’t mention the incident. I turned around and as I was walking upstairs to my bedroom, my brain was “empty” with no thoughts, almost “zombie-like”. My arms were hanging straight down by my side and my eyes were looking at the kickboards of the stairs as I was walking up the steps. It felt like I was on an esculater. I never mentioned anything of this incident to anyone for several years, not even my family or closest friends. (A month later on vacation in Maine, myself, mother, father & cousin went for a midnight walk and we witnessed 3 UFOs flying in a “V” shape formation at a high speed that looked like they were up in the stratusphere. In a split-second, all 3 dispursed. The very next night, at the same time and place, the exact same thing happened again.) – MUFON CMS
PONTOTOC, Miss. (WTVA) — The Pontotoc County Sheriff’s Department is hoping to catch a groundhog with a history of attacking people.
Sheriff Leo Mask says the latest incident happened Sunday. One woman says she was scratched on the leg during an attack on the porch of a home. The sheriff adds the animal then went inside and bit another woman.
One of the women, who did not want to be identified, told WTVA News she went to a medical clinic for treatment of her injuries and was given a tetanus shot.
Mask says the investigation has turned up other people who say they have been attacked by the animal as well.
He says deputies have set a trap in hopes of catching the groundhog.
A woman who underwent a brain operation is now believed to possess a heightened sense of empathy.
The woman, who has been referred to only as ‘Susan’, had been suffering from epileptic seizures for most of her life and doctors had taken the decision to remove part of her temporal lobe in an effort to alleviate her symptoms.
Not only did this work but after the surgery she discovered that she had developed an enhanced ability to read the emotions of other people and experienced heightened physical sensations when she herself was emotionally moved by something.
Her case was investigated by a French research team lead by Aurélie Richard-Mornas who conducted a series of tests and experiments to determine her empathic awareness.
They eventually concluded that Susan was suffering from a condition known as “hyper empathy” brought on by the removal of brain matter involved in the understanding of other people’s emotions.
“The present case report suggests that a new permanent cortical organization of attention and emotion processes has developed in our patient that may be responsible for an enhancement of affective theory of mind,” they wrote. – Wired
A recent high level meeting at the headquarters of Chile’s Civil Aviation Department will likely be the envy of those Americans desiring open government participation in UFO investigations, rather than the familiar blanket dismissal.
The question of whether UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena) pose any danger to civilian and military air operations was up for discussion. An official video about the event (the first 4 minutes), posted on Friday, is telling. You don’t need to understand a word of Spanish to take note of the serious expressions on the faces of the participants.
Chile’s agency investigating UFOs/UAP, known as the CEFAA (Committee for the Studies of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena) is located within the Ministerial Department of Civil Aeronautics (DGAC), the equivalent of our FAA, under the jurisdiction of the Chilean air force.
Gen. Ricardo Bermúdez, director of the CEFAA, invited nineteen highly qualified experts from a range of specialties to the July 31st meeting, to explore the safety question and attempt to achieve a conclusion. The resulting dialogue lasted three hours.
The new DGAC director, air force Gen. Rolando Mercado, former director of operations and strategic planning of the Joint Chiefs, welcomed the participants and attended the early part of the discussion. “I wish to thank all the members of this committee for their serious, scientific approach in the investigation of this phenomenon,” he said afterward, “which has rightly earned prestige for the CEFAA, not only in Chile, but also in foreign countries.” Read more at THP
This morning, New York Magazine featured a thoughtful article on ufology, Mark Jacobson’s “The End of UFOs,” which presented a recap of the recent MUFON Symposium in Pennsylvania. In the commentary Jacobson provided, I found the following excerpt particularly poignant, in light of a culture of belief that surrounds a subject about which, in pure honesty, I feel a number of its great adherents remain very “in the dark”:
“Fernando Garces-Soto, a wry, 60-ish Colombian-born music producer from Miami and fellow witness, was taking it more personally. ‘I’m spending a $1,000 to come to this. That’s a lot of money for the same old stories. This rehash, and more rehash. Probably next year I’ll spend another $1,000. What choice do I have?’ Fernando exclaimed, finding the existential humor of the situation. ‘I’m obsessed,’ he sighed. ‘I’m all messed up.’ “
In truth, maybe we’ll stay “messed up” if we continue re-hashing and re-hashing, and hiring only “celebrity ufologists” to come out and give lectures because they are “the big names in the field,” and hence, the ones who will sell tickets. There are a great many brilliant thinkers out there whose names you never hear, and who wouldn’t sell tickets to a large-scale event; but what they have to offer might do more than just amuse or entertain… it might cause you to think. Innovators in ufology today, who actually present the best case for the existence of a phenomenon which we don’t fully understand? Arguably, many of the brightest thinkers aren’t names you would even know… and hence, from a practical business standpoint, you likely won’t hear them lecturing at large-scale UFO events. I think we all have to understand this… but we also must remember to try and overcome our reservations about listening to new voices in the field, whose work we know nothing about… just like we must overcome our feelings about what a UFO skeptic has to say on the subject. In truth, we might learn something meaningful from each of them. Innovators in Ufology today, who actually present the best case for the existence of a phenomenon which we don’t fully understand?

In truth, we might learn something meaningful from each of them.
So is ufology “dying”? Is there so little to this phenomenon that there is nothing to be studied at all? I think that’s hardly the case; the problem, instead, is that we have become hung up in the ideological extremes, and the cult of personality surrounding those who have (and I say this in appreciation of their work) dedicated their lives, and livelihood, to studying this mystery. For a few of them, it has led to fame and notoriety… I wonder if they, after working so hard, and for so long, would really want people to shrug off new ideas and good research that may arise elsewhere, in favor of an autograph instead? It’s food for thought…Still, I would argue that the newest, and best innovators in this field are “below the radar,” so to speak. You may not find them at conferences, because they don’t draw crowds; you won’t see them on television, because they aren’t sensational enough to bring ratings. You may not even read about their work, because some of them are applying technical thought to the subject that publishers wouldn’t find appealing on any printed page… but they are out there, and they are working. I know, because I am familiar with many of them myself. In fact, I would argue that some of the best innovations in the study of unidentified aerial illuminations aren’t even generally accepted as what we call “UFOs,” and largely due to the fundamental (but timeless) misinterpretation of the acronym UFO–meaning simply an unidentified flying object–being taken to mean an extraterrestrial spaceship, which was never the intended use of the term.
Serious study of UFOs will always be criticized, but arguably, this is largely because it’s detractors are among those who don’t know where to look for the good research that’s being done. These critics will continually watch the sensational television shows, and sit in the back rows at popular conferences and events, criticizing arguments that, at times, are so easily deconstructed that it’s easily likened to shooting fish in the proverbial barrel. But what they are criticizing often isn’t the most meaningful, relevant, or up-to-date information on the subject; perhaps they should spend their time and criticisms more wisely, and go looking for a harder argument to deconstruct. And as for the groups who continually prop ufology high atop a rickety scaffolding of old cases, fringe theories, and sensational claims, they should learn to expect that critics will continue to attempt to debase their arguments. In truth, neither of these opposing sides seem to be interested in discussing the most relevant details pertaining to true anomalies which may exist in our world.
Of those outside the field of ufology whose work has helped formulate new ideas on the nature of anomalous aerial illuminations are Robert Theriault and John Derr, two of the authors who contributed to a brilliant paper on “earthquake lights” earlier this year titled Prevalence of Earthquake Lights Associated with Rift Environments. Nothing about the title insinuates an alleged UFO crash, an individual abducted from their bedroom, or a mass-sighting of a huge alien spaceship; but the scientific work it entails, while far from being the final word on the subject, may contribute more to understanding the nature of anomalous aerial lights than any presented in the last two decades. Yes, the authors argue that the “UFOs” they are discussing are of a natural variety… and in truth, this is likely the story behind many (if not a majority) of modern UFO reports.
The study of UFOs isn’t dead; if anything, the serious research is, and perhaps always has, worked behind the scenes. It takes place in laboratories where scientists take seriously the idea that there are natural phenomenon we have yet to fully understand or formulate a clear idea as to their origin. It also takes place in the homes and offices of individuals who are able to look past the sensational aspects of this phenomenon, and consider instead the idea that there could be correlations drawn and new isights extracted from the plethora of data on the subject that has been amassed since the end of World War II. There are businessmen–Robert Bigelow comes to mind–who take it all seriously enough to invest their time and fortunes in the study of the phenomenon, and whose work ends up being very much “behind the scenes,” for better or for worse. And yes, there are probably some secrets that are kept from the public; whether or not they represent some wide-reaching “conspiracy” or “cover-up” is irrelevant; it would be silly to think that a subject of potential national security importance would truly be systematically overlooked by government agencies. Proof of their fundamental interest in the phenomenon is presented with the release of countless official documents on the subject; again, whether or not they prove the nature of the phenomenon is irrelevant. The important fact is that we know they’ve been watching, with interest.
A colleague of mine, Chris Rutkowski recently expressed similar sentiments about all this. “I rarely go to UFOcons,” he said, “mostly because of the points you raise. Too bad, because there are some very good researchers out there who never get the recognition they deserve. Fortunately there’s an ‘underground ufology’ hard at work behind the fluff. Below the surface, there is good and thoughtful discussion that needs to be uncovered.”
As Rutkowski suggests, there is an entire world of study involving UFOs that very seldom makes it to the stage at UFO events, or onto the sound stages of the production companies and networks that produce popular UFO programming. You won’t read about it in popular books and magazines that cater to the rumors, conspiracy theories, and urban legends that have formulated around UFOs over the last several decades, though you may read about some of it in science journals, if you have proper access, and know where to look. The same can be said of information posted freely online: a lot of the process of finding good information is simply knowing where to look, and at times, having access to it.
If it must be underground, so be it, and maybe for the better. Serious study of UFOs will always be criticized, but arguably, this is largely because it’s detractors are among those who don’t know where to look for the good research that’s being done. These critics will continually watch the sensational television shows, and sit in the back rows at popular conferences and events, criticizing arguments that, at times, are so easily deconstructed that it’s easily likened to shooting fish in the proverbial barrel. But what they are criticizing often isn’t the most meaningful, relevant, or up-to-date information on the subject; perhaps they should spend their time and criticisms more wisely, and go looking for a harder argument to deconstruct. And as for the groups who continually prop ufology high atop a rickety scaffolding of old cases, fringe theories, and sensational claims, they should learn to expect that critics will continue to attempt to debase their arguments. In truth, neither of these opposing sides seem to be interested in discussing the most relevant details pertaining to true anomalies which may exist in our world.
Down in the heady world of research that exists below, there is no end to the UFO phenomenon anywhere in sight. But in fairness, innovation–if it is to be achieved–very seldom ever occurs on a soundstage, does it?
Welcome to the world of the underground innovators.

KENS NOTE: I have been harping for years as to why all of the UFO conferences do not have a showcase of UFO photos. I had a presentation of UFO photos at the Baltimore Conference a few years ago and I feel it was a hit. There are many original and real UFO photo available to the public but they are never presented at a UFO conference. Why ?? I am the founder of the largest UFO photos web site in the world. Over 7000 great UFO photos and galleries of strange photos from the Moon and Mars. I have all the information so there is no excuse why some of these great photos can’t be presented to the public and the world.

To Whom it May Concern, I wanted to report a siting and ask about the possibilities of how I could test soil as we are curious. In the late 70′s my Mother awoke to visit the restroom in the middle of the night in the top level of our home, she happened to look out the window to see a UFO in our backyard, on Ben Franklin Road North in Indiana, PA about 1.75 acres away near the woods line. It was a saucer type ship with lights around the rim and she saw small beings walking at the base of the ship in front of the lights. She was frighten and ran back to bed. She had the senses they may have sensed she was up so she bundled in her covers and faced away from the bedroom window and tried to empty her mind and feign sleep. She feared what ‘they’ would do if they sensed they knew she seen them. She heard loud clanging sounds and the ship passed slowly by her bedroom window, it paused at the window as if checking to see if she was up then sped off. She said it was as loud as a coal truck clanging down the road. It was so surreal she questioned if it really happened and felt strange saying anything to anyone.
My bedroom was on the ground level. At about the same time period, I heard a cluster of footsteps run past my window from the backyard to the front. It sounded like there were maybe 7 of them spaced a few feet from one another and would be the size of kids 11 years old. We were the only kids on the street with the exception of another boy down the street. I wondered if my brothers were sleeping out in a tent in the backyard with friends but they did not so it was unexplained. The landing cite afterward had 3 circles where nothing would grow, today there are still 2 distinct areas with no growth.
Previous to that there was vegetation, it was more sparse than the rest of the yard, but ground cover existed. I’m not sure if soil composition can change but there is a patch of red clay where we never recalled seeing before. I was home a few days ago and took a soil sample from the landing area and an area maybe 20 feet away and the earth is very different. The top of the rocks in the landing area, looks different than the bottom of the rocks. I’m wondering how I can check the magnetism or radiation of the area, if anything still resides or if I can find any trace left from so long ago. I saw you have another report on your website from down he road during he same time period and yet another from nearby. You are welcome to investigate the site. We talk freely about it and it would be nice to have validation. Thank you for your time and consideration of our case. Sincerely, Kathy
Some researchers claiming that ancient pyramids, megalithic sites and obelisks are still active receiving power from a variety of sources, including the Sun, the earth’s energy field grid system or to transmit energy from one structure to another.
Depending on the tilt of the Earth’s axis at a particular time of the year, one structure would function to intensify and transmit energies to other structures which would then act as receiving devices and would disperse energy as it was needed. The opposite would apply when that structure was at an unfocused point to their celestial alignment, when other structures would be used as transmitters.
Some theorists claim that there is a fundamental relation between UFO phenomenon and magnetic-vortex-gravity anomalies in the Grid.
It is well known that many UFOs and USO’s coming from and diving back into the sea. Are these obelisks a coordination point and maybe a power station for UFOs? Perhaps there is a UFO base under the obelisks?
Kirsan Iljoemzjinov blijft voorzitter van de internationale schaakfederatie. De schaaksport was tijdens de Koude Oorlog een alternatief strijdtoneel voor de Sovjet-Unie. Op het bord met 64 velden heersten sovjetschakers. Tussen 1948 en 1983 kwamen alle wereldkampioenen schaak op één na uit de Sovjet-Unie.
Anno 2014 lijken politieke belangen weer nauw verweven met de schaaksport. Maandag kozen de leden van de wereldschaakbond FIDE een nieuwe voorzitter in het Noorse Tromsö. Er waren twee kandidaten: oud-wereldkampioen Garry Kasparov en de huidige voorzitter Kirsan Iljoemzjinov. Die laatste kreeg 110 van de 175 stemmen. Kasparov kon rekenen op slechts 61 stemmen.
Schaaknatie Rusland moet niets hebben van oud-wereldkampioen Kasparov, een verklaard tegenstander van president Vladimir Poetin. Kasparov, die in ballingschap in New York leeft, schildert Iljoemzjinov op zijn beurt af als een marionet van het Kremlin.
Rusland heeft een uitgesproken voorkeur voor Iljoemzjinov, de voormalig president van de arme, autonome republiek Kalmukkië. De 52-jarige beweert dat hij in 1997 in een gigantisch ruimteschip is meegenomen door buitenaardse wezens die op telepathische wijze met hem communiceerden.
Tijdens een televisie-interview in 2010 zei de president dat hiervan verschillende mensen getuige waren geweest. Volgens hem was het schip naar de aarde gekomen om monsters te nemen.
Iljoemzjinov ontmoet de Syrische president Assad
Naar aanleiding van het interview vroeg een Russisch parlementslid aan toenmalig president Medvedev een onderzoek naar deze claim te doen vanwege de veiligheidsrisico’s van een dergelijk contact met buitenaardse wezens. Iljoemzjinov vertelde ook aan een Russische krant dat hij telepathisch contact had met zijn kiezers.
Het Westen bekijkt Iljoemzjinov met argusogen omdat hij banden onderhield met onder meer Saddam Hoessein, Bashar al-Assad en de Libische leider Moammar Kaddafi. In juni 2011 verscheen de voormalige president van Kalmukkië in het openbaar met Kaddafi. Op het hoogtepunt van de NAVO-bombardementen in het Afrikaanse land speelde de voorzitter van de schaakfederatie een partij tegen Kaddafi, die na afloop de titel ‘Internationaal Grootmeester’ kreeg.
Rode planeet Op Mars is een nieuwe krater waargenomen op basis van 'voor en na'-foto's. De meer dan 45 meter brede krater ontstond eind maart 2012 al, maar werd pas een paar maanden geleden per toeval ontdekt door Bruce Cantor. De Amerikaanse nieuwssite Huffington Post spreekt van een primeur, gezien het om de grootste krater gaat die op dergelijke manier gespot werd.
Cantor was op basis van afbeeldingen van de Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter weersvoorspellingen voor de rode planeet aan het opstellen, toen zijn oog op een donkere vlek viel. De wetenschapper bestudeerde vervolgens oudere foto's van de plek. Hij bemerkte dat de krater ontbrak op foto's die genomen waren op 27 maart 2012, maar wel te zien was op die van 28 maart 2012, oftewel een dag later. Onderzoek met een ander instrument bracht uitsluitsel: op foto's die dateren van januari 2014 waren twee kraters te zien waarvan er in januari 2012 nog geen spoor was. De controle bevestigde dat de donkere vlek een nieuwe inslagkrater is.
In de buurt van beide kraters zijn ook meer dan tien kleinere kraters waargenomen, allicht een gevolg van het ontstaan van de grotere kraters. De grootste put is vermoedelijk ontstaan door de inslag van een object zo groot als een wagen. Het betreft een krater van zo'n 48,5 bij 43,5 meter groot. "Het object moet zo'n drie tot vijf meter lang zijn geweest", aldus nog Cantor.
Heel de wereld is in de ban van de supermaan. Het hemellichaam schittert iets groter en helderder dan normaal. Het is al enkele jaren geleden dat dit gebeurt op het moment van een volle maan.
De volle maan is 30 procent helderder en lijkt 14 procent groter dan wanneer hij het verste van de aarde af staat. De afstand varieert tussen de 360.000 km en 405.500 km.
Tussen zondag en woensdag zijn er ook veel vallende sterren te zien. Deze Perseïdenmeteoren, die ieder jaar in augustus de aarde passeren, zijn het best te bewonderen rond twee uur 's nachts.
I am called the King of spam for offering my pearls of wisdom for free to the public, and this put me in a position of endless attacks by the “Sub- Human” who will never in a million year appreciate nor perceive my total dedication, concern and outstanding FREE service induced by a UFO cosmic legacy that followed me since age 7.
Instead, envious souls trash me regularly and those people never read nor spent any time checking my claims. 6 Dark Days Ahead NOW Read the full story.
Thus I come to realize this world is lead by an unstoppable evil force and, at nearly 65, I find very hard to keep giving my pearls of wisdom to so many undeserving souls… But there are also thousands of “silent supporters” in need regenerating their spirits reading my work daily and this makes it difficult for me to stop serving this world unselfishly.
But looking at my Facebook page, it seems many of you openly and frankly show their real support and LIKE a man that works his ass off everyday to serve them unselfishly!
I understand the God fearing lost souls and the atheist born better than themselves and their attacks are meaningless and anticipated. After serving the public since 2000 on the Internet, if I had a dollar for everyone of those acidic remarks, I would enjoy a great retirement in Florida…
But the purpose of this article is to bring the newcomers wondering about my “August SOS To The World” veracity, back in time to July 11th, 2014 and read it for themselves!
This tell you the type of world you live in, where the majority of people are concerned consuming your mental ingeniousness at NO reward at all… And these young self absorbed souls expect good karma, good luck, emotional, financial and spiritual stability?
But this is the rough, struggling public expected response and in this pool of human, those who are ready and above the norm intelligently, will be “saved” and all they need is more time before reaching to the cosmic Code, joining my Cyber Cosmic University, God cosmic Divinity and my services…
But they are other people who I helped me in the past and those who will never budge… Here is a Memo of another article posted to all my VIP’s, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Google and many other popular websites. Furthermore, I am so confident of my gift that on July 7th, 2014 I emailed it DIRECTLY some people in the media!
MEMO from turitrue@gmail.com to Scott Glenn Beck at the Blaze, Mike Broomhead KFYI , DougBurkizer, georgenoory and the world!
Memo; “Hello my friends and skeptics I decided to offer you a solid sample of my unique work and how a cosmic God speaks to me through the signs. This email has been published to my worldwide audience and posted on all public media. Please pass it on!”
I asked Scott and Glenn Beck at the Blaze to publicize my warnings as to save some lives or prepare the world for shocking news but, as usual not a single answer then or NOW!
Memo-To “The Blaze” 7/11/2014 – Famous French mentalist predict Obama’s utmost difficult time in office and serious natural disasters for August 9/10/11 2014. France, Italy, Japan and the US are the target for extraordinary/shocking/explosive news developments. Please make note. http://www.drturi.com/boehner-why-we-must-now-sue-the-president-prediction-unfolding/ BlessingsDr. Turi
Did any of these men made note as suggested or noticed the double RARE weather system in Hawaii, the shocking death of Robin William ON THE EXACT DATES or any of the major shocking news that took place during August 9/10/11 window?
“Too often over the past five years, the President has circumvented the American people and their elected representatives through executive action,” House Speaker John Boehner writes.
“I am particularly asking the skeptics, the atheists, the agnostics and the scientific community, including ALL security services in charge of our President’ safety to make a noteof this August 9/10/11 2014 SOS to the World window and the dates offered because then, nature will also speak of her destructive powers.”
By the way I was fired form this Facebook page, Maureen Elsberry any surprise? I guess posting UFO LEGACY! and offer her readers real PROOF of my UFO predictive legacy. Meantime the obvious results of my August 9/10/11 SOS to the world window was too much of a challenge for Maureen (and everyone else) to deny!
Interview W/ UFO Journalist Maureen Elsberry, She tries To Convince Double J that Aliens Exist And Her Opinion Of Roswell. Maureen is a reporter, she is not dealing with ET’s nor see a UFO directly and instead of looking like an idiot on You tube, she should have referred Dr. Turi to Double J.
I would have given this radio host the same opportunity offered to her and her Facebook audience by giving DATES and Predictions that can not be challenged! And at the same time offer Double J. the solid proof of my UFO “legacy.” She wasted a good opportunity avoiding real people dealing with real UFO!
What is so devious is when she mentioned “there are definitely something involving some people that SHOULD be investigated!”
Alejandro Rojas and youMaureen my dear LIBRA friend I am still here in Phoenix, near you Hun, but do I really need you and Alejandro “Open Mind TV” when you and your producers are so close minded with me?
Here is the section offering her and her audience a challenge involving the undiluted truth, the proposed test and she fired me for it on August 11th – shocking isn’t? no really… Nothing surprises Dr. Turi!
Memo - ” It is simply abominable to have so many readers from all walks of life in a position to help me and yet, since 1991 my claims are still rejected by the police, by the administration, by the US department of education, by the UFO community and 99.99% of a religiously poisoned and atheist world.
UFO experts from all walks of life have so much to offer to their audience but my UFO cosmic legacy makes me quite different because I own something solid, not just windy words. For this I am rejected by so many UFO organizers, for exposing the truth about them and so many of my “Friends and Foes” and for unarguably predicting the future.
Anyone can talk about UFO, there are so many books, so many UFO YouTube videos but many of those experts never saw or dealt physically nor felt the anguish of being “cursed” with a cosmic legacy.
But as soon as you are special, or unique and show real “magic” powers, be sure to be ignored! No I am not the Grand Son of Eisenhower and I have no name, nor fame to benefit to build a career.
Just the opposite in fact because when I arrived as an illegal Alien in 1984 I was homeless and totally destitute. But against all odds and all my enemies, Dr. Turi speaks and own the magic left by 4 UFO experiences they could only dream about!
My connection with Bob’s family was very close and personal, very real and their motivation not only financially oriented. Indeed those who pretend to know about UFO are the least knowledgeable of the matrix they run and control!
I am soon to retire and may move away from the US and I have my own cosmic reasons to do so, something I may have divulged to the audience and save so many lives, had I been invited.
But God decides not me, my talent, convictions and assurance is perceived as an ego trip by those who feel beneath me in the world of Ufology! In all the affairs of this world, the sub- human – psychically underdeveloped human being will always show its insecurity/inferiority complex by removing Dr. Turi from the real competition.
This is how Hitler and so many power angry Plutonic souls behave, kill the opposition before it surpasses you and others in a UFO field where I can bring so much to the future of humanity!
“When a true UFO contactee appears in this world you may know him by this sign that the dunces are all in confederacy against him” – Dr. Turi
“Time has and will always be my utmost trustworthy reliable witness” Dr. Turi
So here is the warning I am offering you all today, July/06/2014 And when all unfold, remember they are REAL people touched by a UFO agenda and those are given special predictive powers! And real people with real UFO “abductions/connections” are extremely rare, especially those who can not be denied anymore! These people should be given a voice and not removed from the public awareness…
MAKE NOTE readers PLEASE! BECAUSE THIS MAY BE THE LAST TIME I OFFER MY COSMIC WISDOM TO THE PUBLIC!
Update 07/10/2014 - GOP: We’ll sue Obama … for this - The Republican-led House is expected to vote on a resolution authorizing legal action against the President over Obamacare at the end of the month, just before lawmakers head home for August to campaign for midterm votes.
UFOs are reported all over the world, and over the week, they made an appearance in the skies above Helena, Montana.
The individual who took the video doesn’t provide any personal information and will only say.. “they have seen similar light shows in the sky around Helena”.
The vast majority are lights at night, and few have video evidence.
UFO Over Edinburgh Castle, Scotland on 9th August 2014
UFO Over Edinburgh Castle, Scotland on 9th August 2014
News reported: The oddly-shaped light in the sky was captured by Catherine Stuart and her mother Susan, who were in the queue for Saturday’s late-night Tattoo, just before 10.30pm. Ms Stuart, who lives in London but is originally from South Africa, said she had no explanation for the strange apparition, which disappeared soon after they photographed it. The 31-year-old said she thought the “weird” object was a bird at first. She added: “It was very strange to see because when we looked at it again it didn’t look like a bird.
“It was hovering around and then it disappeared. It was a weird shape, like a square light. I have no idea what it was.”
New UFO documentary to focus on late Helena doctor
Dr. Jesse A. Marcel was just 11 years old when an unidentified flying object crashed near Roswell, New Mexico, in July 1947.
His father, Jesse Sr., is said to be the first military officer to arrive at the site of what became the internationally famous Roswell incident. Jesse Sr. brought several items home from the crash site to show his wife and son, laying the otherworldly objects down on the kitchen table.
The official explanation for the items is a downed weather balloon, but those objects and the event surrounding them ended up following the Marcel family for decades. Jesse Jr. spoke publicly about that day with media and audiences across the world, and even wrote a book, “The Roswell Legacy.”
Jesse Jr., who served as an ear, nose and throat specialist in Helena and was appointed as the surgeon general of Montana, died in August 2013. Now a documentary is aiming to look at his life to tell the story from an angle it hasn’t een viewed from before.
The documentary, “Growing Up With Roswell,” will be written and directed by Jesse Jr.’s cousin, Leonard J. Marcel.
“This movie is really about how an incident can affect an entire family,” Leonard said.
Production for the film began about two weeks ago, and the first filming took place on Sunday at the Jesse A. Marcel Library outside Helena.
The team will stay in Helena for a few days to interview Jesse Jr.’s friends, coworkers and family before moving on to film in New Orleans, Seattle, Toronto, Roswell and other locations to put the documentary together.
Leonard said his last name has prompted questions from curious Roswell enthusiasts his whole life, but he didn’t meet Jesse Jr. until 2007. The following year Leonard came up with the idea of filming a documentary about his cousin, and captured eight hours of footage with Jesse Jr. and his mother speaking about Roswell.
The film kept getting postponed, until something snapped inside Leonard, and he knew he had to make it.
Leonard is joined by filmmakers S. Kramer Herzog from San Francisco and Dusty Wright from New York City in the effort to make the documentary.
UFO critics have downplayed the father and son’s accounts as coming from an outsider and a young boy who wouldn’t remember properly. Leonard refuted that, saying anyone who has had 11-year-old children would know they’re pretty smart and that Jesse Sr. wasn’t an outcast, but a highly informed member of the military intelligence community.
And according to Wright, everyone they’ve talked to so far has spoken highly of Jesse Jr.
“You can’t question a man’s character when everyone around him is telling you he’s a standup guy,” Wright said.
But people question him anyway, discounting the events off hand, Wright said. Wright met Leonard through the film industry in New York, and always thought the family legacy could make a great story. Stories like this one, he said, often become muddled by those who tell them, blurring the lines of fantasy and fact.
“Growing Up With Roswell,” Wright said, will investigate the real story from a personal angle, hopefully uncovering pieces of information never told before so that viewers can make up their own mind about Roswell.
“I think any time you get anyone to question anything, get anyone to open up, it’s a win as a filmmaker,” Wright said.
Leonard grew up away from Jesse Jr. and the Roswell media attention. But now that he’s tackling the film and discussing it with more family members, Leonard is becoming part of the story.
“I’m getting more into it as we go,” Leonard said.
The project will probably take about 18 months, but the team hopes to have a rough cut of “Growing Up With Roswell” made for the annual UFO Festival in Roswell next July. Leonard said they will be back in Helena to hold a screening of the film upon completion.
A recent high level meeting at the headquarters of Chile's Civil Aviation Department will likely be the envy of those Americans desiring open government participation in UFO investigations, rather than the familiar blanket dismissal.
The question of whether UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena) pose any danger to civilian and military air operations was up for discussion. An official video about the event (the first 4 minutes), posted on Friday, is telling. You don't need to understand a word of Spanish to take note of the serious expressions on the faces of the participants.
Chile's agency investigating UFOs/UAP, known as the CEFAA (Committee for the Studies of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena) is located within the Ministerial Department of Civil Aeronautics (DGAC), the equivalent of our FAA, under the jurisdiction of the Chilean air force.
Gen. Ricardo Bermúdez, director of the CEFAA, invited nineteen highly qualified experts from a range of specialties to the July 31st meeting, to explore the safety question and attempt to achieve a conclusion. The resulting dialogue lasted three hours.
The new DGAC director, air force Gen. Rolando Mercado, former director of operations and strategic planning of the Joint Chiefs, welcomed the participants and attended the early part of the discussion. "I wish to thank all the members of this committee for their serious, scientific approach in the investigation of this phenomenon," he said afterward, "which has rightly earned prestige for the CEFAA, not only in Chile, but also in foreign countries."
Scientists in attendance included two well known astronomers (each with an asteroid named after him), a nuclear chemist from the Nuclear Energy Commission, a doctor of aerospace medicine who is also a UN representative, a physicist, an army psychologist and an air force psychologist.
Among the DGAC specialists were the director of the Meteorological Observatory, the chief of Radar Operations Metropolitan Center, the head of Accident Investigations, DGAC chief of operations, the director of Airport Security Operations, and an aerospace engineer.
Representatives from different branches of the armed forces and the police corps were also present. All of them, including a navy commander who is in charge of flight security for navy aviation, are also pilots, or have been in the past. Along with Mercado, Bermúdez was once a combat pilot.
The panel members were familiar with the subject matter due to their various affiliations with the CEFAA as advisors, committee members, and experts called upon to assist with case investigations.
Each participant had already accepted the fact that UFOs are a real phenomenon which needs to investigated, without question. This, alone, is unusual, as we Americans see it.
"For Chileans, this is completely normal and we don't consider it news at all," says Jose Lay, international affairs director for the CEFAA.
Here are excerpts from some of the more interesting comments which helped influence the final conclusion:
DGAC chief of operations: "If, as many witnesses have declared, the UAP demonstrates 'intelligent behavior,' and if we admit this fact, then we must look for 'the intention behind' that intelligence, whatever it may be -- a form of energy, perhaps -- it doesn't matter. Intelligence is what matters. If this is so, we must ask: has it shown hostility or carried out openly threatening maneuvers? Has it actually attacked our aircraft? To date, this doesn't seem to be the case. We cannot possibly call something a threat to something or someone if they have not shown any open intention to do harm. And even less, we do not even know their exact nature!"
Navy captain Roberto Borè, Naval Aviation: "Aside from any natural distractions to the flight crews, the risks so far have been null. We cannot call UAP a risk to our operations, not even a low risk. An interaction, either good or bad, between a human being and UAP so far is nonexistent in our skies [in Chile], as far as I know."
Radar control chief Mauricio Blanco: "In aeronautics, we have to measure risk scientifically and we have all the tools for that. We have to establish a 'risk matrix,' considering possibility and probability. The risk level [for UAP] has not been analyzed. It can be measured, and given the probabilities, this level is very low."
Blanco is one of the highest officials actually on the front lines when UFO sightings are reported to ground control radar or picked up by radar, anywhere in the country. In 2012, I interviewed him at the radar center in Santiago, and he showed me the log book where UFO sightings are initially recorded before being sent to the CEFAA. Reports are written by hand to assure they are not tampered with or affected by computer transfer, and to provide a clear record of who actually wrote the entry. As an American, I was astonished by Blanco's matter-of-fact attitude about UFOs. It's hard to get used to the fact that UFOs are fully accepted as part of life in Chile.
"DGAC expert on accident investigations: "Until now, in practice, we have seen only the effects. And those we have captured through photographs, videos, official reports, testimonies, etc. And thus, we are able to say the phenomenon exists. But its origin, we have not defined. And without this definition, we cannot establish a strategy to counteract it. ... I have spoken with pilots who have had sightings. So far, none has experienced undue concern, just plain curiosity."
The nuclear chemist: "If our civilian and military pilots are well informed about UAP, the risk due to distraction will come down to a minimum because the surprise factor will not be there. Judging by global statistics, the number of aircraft that have allegedly been involved in an accident with UAP would represent a tiny fraction of the accidents caused by birds."
The air force psychologist advised more education for pilots -- in order to raise awareness rather than alert them to any latent danger. Others recommended that instructions on pilot reporting be included within aviation training courses. The scientists suggested further multi-disciplined studies "to bring us as close to the real nature [of UAP] as possible," stated by astronomer Luis Barrera.
The conclusion was clear. "Based on the evaluation at the meeting, the committee concluded that UAP do not present a threat or a danger to air operations, either civilian or military," Bermúdez said. "Although there have been a small number of accidents attributed to UAP around the world, none have withstood an objective examination that presented unmistakable proof that UAP were the cause."
The CEFAA staff have their eyes opened for any effects on air operations that might arise. But this is not the reason they do the work. They want to learn the nature and origin of the phenomenon simply because it is a reality that science has not yet explained. "Around 85 percent of our public believe in the phenomenon, so we have an obligation to investigate and find out what it is," says Lay. "This should be reason enough for governments to try and determine the origin. There is no need to fear panic from the public."
The CEFAA works with its many counterparts in South America, and has relationships with about a dozen other countries around the world. Planning is underway for Bermúdez to meet with officials from the French UFO agency, at the Paris headquarters of the National Space Studies Center (CNES), the equivalent to our NASA. A formal meeting between representatives of the CEFAA and the French GEIPAN, the two leading UAP agencies in the world, has never occurred, and this marks an historic step toward unifying the effort internationally.
Momentum is building for more governments to address the UFO problem, and many eyes are on the United States. Through the smallest change in position, our government has the potential to play a crucial role in lifting the stigma against research, thereby paving the way to a possible resolution to the problem.
The Chilean meeting serves as an example of one country's success in working with the UFO issue at high levels and its ability to integrate a serious approach throughout the country.
A Quebec, Canada, witness at Port-Cartier reported watching an enormous, triangle-shaped UFO similar to a recently reported Burlington, Ontario, case, according to testimony in Case 58850 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was outside in a front yard talking on the telephone with a friend at 8:30 p.m. on July 27, 2014, when lights in the sky were first thought to be a plane moving overhead.
“I then caught sight of multiple plane lights and thought it was strange that they were so close to each other and so many,” the witness stated. “That was when I realized they were all connected to each other and that it was one big craft that was blocking out all the stars when it passed. It looked like an impossibly enormous triangle.”
The witness was outside at 8:30 p.m. on July 27, 2014, when lights in the sky were first thought to be a plane moving overhead. Pictured: Port-Cartier, Quebec, Canada. (Credit: Google)
The witness described the object.
“It was blacker than black. It made no sound.”
The witness alerted the friend on the telephone and called to her husband to come outside.
“When I returned to the driveway I continued to watch it pass and go towards Sept-Îles silently until I could no longer see the lights. My husband came out too late to see it.”
The witness reports an unusual amount of helicopter traffic followed the sighting.
“For the next two days following that night, there was an unusual amount of helicopters flying in circles over our block. It’s normal to see one or two in a day but there was more than five and they came all together and stayed around our block for over 30 minutes.”

A documentary film about the 1947 Roswell UFO incident is taking a unique approach to event, focusing on the affect the incident had on one family.
Growing Up With Roswell will focus on Jesse Marcel, Jr., the son of the U.S. Air Force intelligence officer who reportedly first examined the crash debris found by ranch manager Mac Brazel near Roswell, New Mexico in July of 1947. Marcel, Sr. told Marcel, Jr. about the event and showed he and his mother some of the wreckage that was recovered. Marcel, Jr. was eleven at the time.

Marcel, Jr. spent much of his life in the medical field and in the military serving as a flight surgeon. Sadly, he passed away on Saturday, August 24, 2013 from a heart attack. He always maintained his belief that the material his father showed him was extraterrestrial.
Growing Up With Roswell “will investigate the real story from a personal angle, hopefully uncovering pieces of information never told before so that viewers can make up their own mind about Roswell.” The film is being written and directed by Marcel, Jr.’s cousin, Leonard J. Marcel. As he explained to the Helena Daily Record, “This movie is really about how an incident can affect an entire family.”

According to the paper, “Leonard said his last name has prompted questions from curious Roswell enthusiasts his whole life, but he didn’t meet Jesse Jr. until 2007. The following year Leonard came up with the idea of filming a documentary about his cousin.”
The documentary reportedly began production in early August, and the first day of filming took place at the Jesse A. Marcel Library outside Helena, Montana.
The project is estimated to take approximately eighteen months to complete. But the producers hope to have a rough cut of the film ready for the annual Roswell UFO Festival in July 2015.
My husband and I were sitting in the backyard so that I could smoke an after-brunch cigarette and facing the SE. Dragonflies and butterflies, among other bugs and birds, were flying around. I love watching them all so I try to catch every movement. In front of me but at a good long distance away, a movement caught my eye and I watched it zip from my right to left a short distance and disappear all within three seconds. As it faded, there were some leaves and limbs in the path of my view from a certain point and the object was never seen through it or from the other side of it. The edges were somewhat blurry like a heat signature, but the color and details were clearer than I would have expected. It was about two inches long by 1/4 inch wide; yellow like a bee with black detail or windows, maybe both, on the top half. I only saw it for 3 seconds and still can’t believe how much I saw since I can’t even see the details on a dragonfly flying by but I can see its shape and wings. After it registered in my head that it was not a normal object, I told my husband what I saw and we discussed it. I didn’t want to report it, but then decided if there was a similar report that I would report it. Doing a search in the data base for a cigar, gold to copper, the first person revealed seems to have seen a similar object just a couple of weeks ago so here I am.
Tourists in line to watch the famous annual Edinburgh Military Tattoo at Edinburgh Castle spotted a strange glowing object in the skies. It hovered for awhile before disappearing.

Catherine Stuart and her mother were in line on Saturday night at about 10:30 pm when they spotted the object. She told the Edinburgh Evening News that at first they thought it was a bird, but she says, “It was very strange to see because when we looked at it again it didn’t look like a bird.”
Stuart continued, “It was hovering around and then it disappeared. It was a weird shape, like a square light. I have no idea what it was.”
he says the light disappeared soon after she took a picture of it.

The Edinburgh Evening News goes on to say that the most likely explanation for the object was the International Space Station (ISS), which has been doing passes over London. However, checking the satellite tracking site Heavens-Above, it does list the ISS passing over London, but at 9:34 pm and then again at 11:10 pm. Both times very low to the horizon.
The Edinburgh Evening News also suggests it could have been the ATV-5 cargo ship. However, it is in close proximity to the ISS and was seen at the same times as the ISS over London.
While the ISS is spectacular to view, and is often misidentified as a UFO, it moves at a steady pace across the sky. Stuart described something that hovered and then disappeared. She also said she looked away and then looked back later and it was still there.
There are also other possible prosaic answers for the lights, such as a remote controlled drone with LEDs. Still, from looking at the picture, I can see how Stuart would have been taken aback by the strange light over the majestic Edinburgh Castle.
British Scientist Claims Ebola Virus Came From Space
As the deadly Ebola virus spreads across other countries, strange theories how the virus came into being keeps buzzing.
The latest theory from a British engineer is that the virus is alien, and did not originate on Earth.
Ashley Dale, who is pursuing an engineering Phd in Bristol University, claimed that there is a possibility that the deadly bug landed on Earth from space, the Daily Star UK has reported.
“There is always a chance the Ebola virus could have come from outside this planet, at some point during the evolutionary process, ” Dale told the newspaper.
“We have meteorites from Mars landing on our planet every year, and we know bacteria can survive the journey. There is every chance Ebola arrived on this planet from somewhere in space,” he added.
“Virus particles can also make it through space undamaged, so there is definitely a possibility something could have arrived back in the evolution of the planet that we are seeing now.”
Dale told the newspaper that there is every possibility that the virus survived the planet’s evolution, which is why it’s making its presence feel now.
According to a World Health Organization (WHO) report, the Ebola epidemic has already claimed nearly 1,000 lives in Africa while the tropical disease continues to spread Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.
Nigeria and Benin governments have also confirmed there are cases of Ebola in those countries.
Meanwhile, Nigerians are falling victim to a rumour which says that Ebola can be cured by bathing in “hot water and salt”.
Around 20 Nigerians have also been hospitalised from eating salt and bitter kola to prevent infection. Despite the Nigerian government issuing warnings that the treatment isn’t effective, the rumor is being spread by text message and social media. – IBTimes
On a chilly Saturday night in November 1974, three teenage boys lit up a Carbondale, PA silt pond and sparked a UFO legend that still glows 40 years later.
The boys, including Robert Gillette Jr., reported to police on Nov. 9 they saw “a red, whirring ball fly over Salem Mountain and into the mine pond.”
What would become known as the “Carbondale UFO” drew police officers, military, UFO enthusiasts and curious spectators from across the country. The glow lasted nine hours. After two days, a diver emerged from the murky waters with nothing but an old railroad lantern in hand.
Twenty-five years later, Gillette admitted throwing the battery-powered lantern into the pond to scare his sister, but the legend lives on.
The city plans to mark the upcoming 40th anniversary of the “close encounter” during the Pioneer Nights – Ethnic Heritage Festival with the Carbon D. Alien Regatta on Saturday.
Alex Kelly, co-owner of Icon Technologies, grew up down the road from the silt pond. He doesn’t remember any UFOs or little green men but he does recall the “chaos the next day.”
“There were cars everywhere, we couldn’t get out of our driveway,” he said.
A Scranton Times reporter described seeing licenses plates from 17 states and Canada at the pond. A story published on Nov. 12, 1974, reports that crowds showed up from New York and Connecticut. Every regional newspaper, radio and television station was live from the scene including a three-man news crew from Philadelphia. UFO specialists from New York, New Jersey and Northwestern University in Illinois investigated. A lengthy report by Matthew J. Graeber from the UFO Research Investigation Center in Philadelphia is still on file today at the Carbondale Historical Society.
Police manning the overwhelmed phone lines reported calls from as far away as England. People of all backgrounds and occupations surrounded the pond behind Russell Park, making the light in the water the lesser of then-police chief Francis Dottle’s worries. He was more concerned about the masses on the shore.
Kelly said believers and non-believers of the legend are separated into a few groups. Some believe the glow was caused by a lantern thrown into the pond. Others insist a craft from outer space landed in the small pond and the government covered it up.
One popular theory is that the illumination came from a fallen spy satellite, maybe from Russia, maybe from the United States, he said.
Jim Racht, also a co-owner of Icon Technologies, said, “People either roll their eyes or say, ‘Yeah, they took something out of there.’”
Involved with the Carbondale Historical Society and the Route 6 Task Force, Kelly and Racht began researching the event after an interview for WVIA’s “My Town” documentary about the city. Kelly said when Michele Bannon, city clerk, suggested including the UFO landing in the town’s history, the two men raised their hands and got to work. One question they asked themselves was if there was a UFO, who drove the craft?
Shortly after the documentary premiered in 2012 the two men started the website, carbondalien.com. The site features old and new photos of Carbondale doctored to include the life-sized green extraterrestrial plastic figure, which they took to the WVIA documentary premiere. A comprehensive history of the lore is also on the site.
In Racht’s 2010 book about the history of Carbondale, he dubs the incident the “Birth of a Suburban Legend.”
Sitting in their office next to a nearly five-foot-tall green extraterrestrial-looking figure wearing a white T-shirt, Kelly and Racht said one thing that most Carbondale residents agree that a flat bed truck hauled something covered by a blue tarp away from the scene all those years ago.
What it concealed remains a mystery. – CitizensVoice
It was two days right after hurricane Wilma in October 2005 in North Miami Beach, Florida, we had a black out for about three weeks.
I’m sitting outside with a friend looking at the stars and we saw a manta ray shaped object, looked like it was trying to camouflage in the sky. All of the sudden starts moving and what it looked like a star had started to move and realized it was a light in the center front of this object, kind of a pale orange color flickering.
It was moving west to east and disappeared behind the buildings next door. The “wings” rippled like a real manta ray would. Half an hour later we saw big white throbbing lights right in front of us, we got scared and ran inside.
It was definitely not from this planet! I keep doing research since, I would never forget what we saw! Just wanted to share, thanks.
Wederopstanding: nieuwe film over Bosnische piramides
Wederopstanding: nieuwe film over Bosnische piramides
De Franse regisseur Chris Nahon werkt momenteel aan een documentaire over de Bosnische piramides. “De grootste piramides ter wereld zijn gevonden in Europa, in Bosnië om precies te zien,” zegt hij. “Deze piramides zijn ouder dan de Egyptische piramides en in sommige gevallen groter dan de Grote Piramide van Gizeh.”
De piramides zijn in de afgelopen tienduizenden jaren bedekt met bodemmateriaal en vegetatie. Van een afstand zien ze eruit als gewone bergen, aldus Nahon. De piramides zenden nog steeds elektromagnetische straling uit. De tunnels die onder het piramidecomplex lopen, zijn volgens de regisseur in staat de aura van mensen te versterken. Ze bevatten bovendien een hoge concentratie negatieve ionen, die een gezondheidsbevorderende werking zouden hebben. Nahon voegt toe dat de tunnels ook een extreem hoge Boviswaarde hebben.
Regisseur Chris Nahon
“Deze 30.000 jaar oude hoogontwikkelde, verloren beschaving geeft ons de kans – door middel van de monumentale bouwwerken die ze voor ons heeft achtergelaten – om onze geschiedenis te herschrijven,” aldus Nahon.
Met de film hoopt de Fransman wetenschappers van over de hele wereld te mobiliseren. Hij wil aantonen dat onze voorouders geavanceerde technologieën hebben achtergelaten waarmee we toegang kunnen krijgen tot vrije energie, gratis communicatie en genezing.
Omdat de gevestigde media het bestaan van de piramides niet willen erkennen, is Nahon van plan wetenschappers, experts en laboratoria in te schakelen om uitsluitsel te geven. Chris Nahon is vooral bekend geworden door zijn films Kiss of the Dragon, Empire of the Wolves en Blood: The Last Vampire.

Après plus de 10 ans de voyage, la sonde européenne Rosetta est arrivée à destination aujourd’hui à 100 km à peine du noyau de la comète 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

La sonde européenne Rosetta s’est installée aujourd’hui à 100 km du noyau de sa comète. « Après dix ans, cinq mois et quatre jours de voyage, cinq passages à proximité du Soleil et 6,4 milliards de kilomètres parcourus, nous avons le plaisir d’annoncer que notre but est enfin atteint », a déclaré aujourd’hui Jean-Jacques Dordain, Directeur général de l’ESA. « La sonde européenne Rosetta est désormais le premier véhicule spatial de l’histoire à avoir effectué un rendez-vous cométaire, ce qui constitue un jalon majeur dans l’exploration de nos origines. C’est maintenant que les découvertes vont vraiment commencer ! »

Rosetta précède le noyau d’une centaine de kilomètres sur son orbite elliptique autour du Soleil. Ces deux corps, l’un naturel et l’autre artificiel, tournent donc actuellement à près de 55 000 km/h autour de notre étoile et ils se situent à 405 millions de km de la Terre. Cette position privilégiée permet aux instruments de Rosetta de voir en permanence la face éclairée de la comète, qui tourne sur elle-même en près de 12,4 h. Durant les semaines qui viennent, la sonde va s’approcher progressivement et le champ gravitationnel du noyau va être étudié pour déterminer le plus précisément possible la masse de ce petit corps du Système solaire et affiner la séquence finale de mise en orbite. À terme, dans quelques semaines, Rosetta devrait parcourir une orbite circulaire à 10 km d’altitude autour du noyau et elle devrait s’en approcher à près de 5 km pour larguer le module Philae, le 11 novembre prochain si tout se déroule bien.

Les instruments de Rosetta sont déjà à l’œuvre pour réaliser une étude scientifique détaillée de la comète afin de trouver un site d’atterrissage pour Philae. L’équipe du SONC (CNES-Toulouse) doit identifier 5 sites possibles d’ici à la fin du mois d’août et un site de référence à la mi-septembre qui sera validé par l’ESA. Elle doit naturellement tenir compte d’une multitude de paramètres et de contraintes techniques et scientifiques, mais le défi est stimulant puisque jamais aucune agence spatiale n’est parvenue à poser une sonde sur une comète à ce jour !

Rosetta est une mission de l’ESA avec des contributions de ses États membres et de la NASA. Philae, l’atterrisseur de Rosetta, est fourni par un consortium dirigé par le DLR, le MPS, le CNES et l'ASI. Rosetta sera la première mission dans l'histoire à se mettre en orbite autour d’une comète, à l’escorter autour du Soleil, et à déployer un atterrisseur à sa surface.

UFO sighting photos from Raposa Serra do Sol, Venezuela on 12th July 2014
UFO sighting photos from Raposa Serra do Sol, Venezuela on 12th July 2014
An amazingUFO sighting was reported near Raposa Serra do Sol, Venezuela in the daytime sky. The sighting was reported on 12th July 2014. In the photo you could see a gray object flying in the sky.
Eigenlijk verbazingwekkend dat er in de mainstreammedia nooit aandacht wordt besteed aan het drukke UFO-verkeer rond het International Space Station (ISS).
Deze opnames worden namelijk niet gemaakt door amateurs, maar worden allemaal vastgelegd via high tech NASA camera’s.
Eén van de redenen dat men klaarblijkelijk vindt dat UFO’s belachelijk of ongeloofwaardig zijn, is gelegen in het feit dat veel van dit soort opnames worden gemaakt door amateurs. Daarnaast zijn er uiteraard de talloze voorbeelden van mensen die het leuk vinden om nepopnames de wereld in te sturen.
Een ander verhaal word het wanneer er onbekende objecten worden vastgelegd door de camera’s van NASA.
En het zijn geen incidentele gebeurtenissen want iedere week worden er wel een aantal gefotografeerd.
Zoals de volgende, enkele dagen geleden op 8 augustus.
Deze UFO werd vastgelegd door de man die al ontelbare keren vreemde objecten heeft ontdekt op film- of foto-opnames van NASA, Streetcap 1.
Ook deze UFO heeft de vorm die door mensen overal worden waargenomen. Een gloeiend object wat eruit ziet als een soort vijfpuntige ster.
Enkele dagen daarvoor, op 4 augustus, werd er eveneens een UFO waargenomen vlakbij het ISS.
Enkele dagen daarvoor, op 31 juli, was het ook raak:
Nog nooit is er door NASA enige verklaring gegeven voor al die onbekende objecten die rond het ISS worden waargenomen. Er ook geen enkele druk op NASA gelegd om dit te doen, dus waarom zouden ze?
De bovenstaande voorbeelden zijn van iets meer dan een week geleden. Wanneer je echter over het hele jaar genomen ziet hoeveel UFO’s er af en aan vliegen bij het ISS dan is het verbazingwekkend dat dit pal onder onze neus kan gebeuren, alles door NASA op videobeelden wordt vastgelegd en dat 99,9 procent van de bevolking hier geen weet van heeft.
A Pennsylvania witness at Indiana recalls an event from August 1976 when a disc-shaped UFO landed near her family’s home and beings were seen on the ground, according to testimony in Case 58760 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness recounts the story in her own words.
“In the late 70′s my mother awoke to visit the restroom in the middle of the night in the top level of our home,” the reporting witness stated. “She happened to look out the window to see a UFO in our backyard, about 1.75 acres away near the woods line.
“It was a saucer-type ship with lights around the rim and she saw small beings walking at the base of the ship in front of the lights. She was frighten and ran back to bed. She had the senses that they may have sensed she was up so she bundled in her covers and faced away from the bedroom window and tried to empty her mind and feign sleep.
“She feared what ‘they’ would do if they sensed they knew she seen them.
“She heard loud clanging sounds and the ship passed slowly by her bedroom window. It paused at the window as if checking to see if she was up and then sped off.
“She said it was as loud as a coal truck clanging down the road. It was so surreal she questioned if it really happened and felt strange saying anything to anyone.
“My bedroom was on the ground level. At about the same time period, I heard a cluster of footsteps run past my window from the backyard to the front. It sounded like there were maybe seven of them spaced a few feet from one another and would be the size of kids 11 years old. We were the only kids on the street with the exception of another boy down the street.
“I wondered if my brothers were sleeping out in a tent in the backyard with friends but they did not so it was unexplained.
“The landing site afterward had three circles where nothing would grow. Today there are still two distinct areas with no growth. Previous to that there was vegetation. It was more sparse than the rest of the yard, but ground cover existed. I’m not sure if soil composition can change but there is a patch of red clay where we never recalled seeing it before.”
The woman looked out her window during the night and saw the UFO had landed near her home in Indiana, Pennsylvania. Pictured: Indiana, Pennsylvania. (Credit: Google)
The witness is asking if MUFON can conduct soil samples of the landing area. Pennsylvania MUFON is investigating. Indiana is a borough in and the county seat of Indiana County, population 13,975. Pennsylvania has a current UFO Alert Rating of 3 with a high number of recent reports nationally. Pennsylvania had 30 UFO reports in July 2014 – the 6th highest reporting state – while California had 104 reports as the highest reporting state. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

An Ontario, Canada, witness at Burlington reported watching a large, V-shaped UFO that was first thought to be a building – until it moved about 9:40 p.m. on August 10, 2014, according to testimony in Case 58833 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was driving to a friend’s house when bright red and white lights were first seen.
“I thought it was a structure’s lights until it started moving and I stopped my car,” the witness stated.
The witness described the object.
“It was a wide/long, V-shaped object with two lights at each point, two on the outer wings and one in the middle. Each light was red with a smaller white light atop. Initially I thought it was a building until it started moving.”
This photo was provided by the witness who stopped and used a cell phone to try and capture the large, V-shaped UFO. (Credit: MUFON)
The witness said the object was massive in size.
“I observed the distance and realized just how gigantic it was. I tried to then take pictures with my cell phone after pulling the car over. I then followed it to get more pictures.”
The witness included one photo and one illustration of the event with the MUFON report: Image 1, Illustration 1.
The object moved over a nearby tree line and was lost from view.
Burlington is a city located in Halton Region at the western end of Lake Ontario and is part of the Greater Toronto Area, population 175,779. MUFON Canada is investigating.
Kirsan Ilyumzhinov defeated his opponent, chess legend Garry Kasparov, on Monday, August 11 to retain his position as head of the World Chess Federation (FIDE).
The win for Ilyumzhinov, who has presided over the FIDE for nearly two decades, was expected. But Kasparov was determined to at least attempt unseating Ilyumzhinov because he feels public comments about extraterrestrials made by Ilyumzhinov are negatively affecting the federation, hindering its growth and deterring potential sponsors.
Garry Kasparov (Credit: S.M.S.I., Inc. – Owen Williams, The Kasparov Agency/Wikimedia Commons)
Ilyumzhinov claims to be an alien abductee, and has spoken about his extraterrestrial encounters for more than a decade. Ilyumzhinov, who is a former president of the Russian republic of Kalmykia, stated in 2010 that he met with extraterrestrials in Moscow, where he communicated with them, was shown around their spaceship, and was even taken into space.
But, despite his extraterrestrial tales, the federation seems perfectly happy with its long-sitting president. Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty reports that Ilyumzhinov defeated Kasparov by a 100-61 vote in the August 11 election.
1,000 ft. high) in the sky and were absolutely silent and moving slowly. We observed them for about 5 minutes until they flew out of sight. I even went into the back yard where there was no noise and cupped my ear to the sky as the last one passed, but there was still no sound at all. I called 911 and reported the incident and the dispatcher said there was another report and the police were checking it out. He said they would call me back if they learned anything and, at about 11:15 that night they called me back to tell me there was a similar report from someone in Willow Grove, but that they still did not determine anything more. I contacted the Air Force and they suggested calling the FAA. The FAA suggested I contact MUFON.
It looks like a craft from another galaxy, but this is actually a huge cloud floating above China.
It was spotted over Xiamen city in Fujian province – and the photographer caught the moment an airliner was dramatically silhouetted against the sky close by.
The plane is completely dwarfed by the cloud, which is a type that normally forms when cool air passes over mountains.

Met Office spokesperson Laura Young said: ‘This is an altocumulus lenticularis. Some people think they look like stacked plates.
‘They are normally formed over mountains. The air cools as it’s forced over the mountains, condensation takes place and it forms these lens-shaped clouds – and they stack up on top of each other.
‘However, they can form at all levels and are often nicknamed as UFO clouds.’
The pictures emerged after Bristol was recently transformed into a scene resembling Independence Day by an astonishing cloud formation.
Photographer Alex Trott said that he ‘couldn’t believe his eyes’ upon witnessing the sight of the eerie cloud formation in skies above Bristol

He said: ‘My dog Betsy was barking like mad so I looked out the window and couldn’t believe my eyes.

INVESTIGATORS have shed new light on one of Australia’s greatest aviation mysteries.
Almost 36 years to the month that Victorian pilot Fred Valentich vanished without a trace, an independent researcher says there is evidence suggesting the 20-year-old’s Cessna was spotted in the sky over South Australia — attached to a UFO.
The Victorian UFO Action group wants help to identify a farmer near Adelaide who reportedly witnessed the 30m craft hovering over his property the morning after Mr Valentich went missing.
It is claimed the Cessna was stuck to the side of the craft, leaking oil. The farmer even scratched the plane’s registration number on to his tractor but never came forward with the information because he was ridiculed by the few friends he told.
The theory has sparked furious debate as the nation’s leading UFO investigators prepare for a national conference in Melbourne next month.

Lead investigator George Simpson, one of the last people to see the plane in the sky, says the farmer, if still alive, might have information to solve the mystery.
He conceded there was no proof, but said it was the best new lead for a case that had intrigued Australians for decades. “It’s easy for some to dismiss, but there are corroborating stories confirming that there was a UFO near Adelaide at the time,” Mr Simpson said.
Mr Valentich had been on a routine cargo flight to King Island in October 1978 when he disappeared.
In his last conversation with air traffic control, he reported an object hovering in front of him and said it was “not an aircraft’’. It was the last thing Mr Valentich said before a strange metallic clicking sound was heard and the transmission stopped.
Extensive searches failed to find any trace of the plane or the pilot.
“This was an experienced pilot who should have been able to identify another aircraft but was clearly unable to,” Mr Simpson said.
Adding to the mystery, an amateur photo taken in the area that evening shows a dark unidentifiable shape in the sky.
Investigators are also trying to find a copy of Valentich’s final transmission that was originally aired on Melbourne radio station 3XY.
The Valentich case will be among a string of Aussie X-files to be discussed when the Victorian UFO Action group hosts its “Age of Reason” conference on September 6.
Giant birds, also called “thunderbirds”, are part of the cryptid world. Reports of gigantic birds large enough to carry away humans have been reported throughout history. But are they connected to aliens?
“One night, the boy and his sister were walking home from a neighbors house when they noticed an actual flying object coming to rest on top of a hill. Later, in the early morning light, they found a 30 feet diameter patch of scorched grass.
Then, later on, the boy reported seeing a giant bird on a tree. The parents told the boy that this was exactly the “apparition” the neighbors had been “terrified” about.
“It appeared out of the darkness,” one of the neighbors had told the boy’s father.
There was a “poultry smell” in the air and feathers were also found.
“They were bigger than any bird they had ever seen, ostensibly at least 3 or 4 times bigger than a wedged tail eagle,” Chalker wrote. According to the neighbor’s son, the birds seemed to be gliding with their exceedingly big wings. The beasts, he said, appeared to communicate between them.
“They were monsters… making sounds like unintelligible conversation,” the boy explained.
His sister and father had also been witness to the ominous bird sightings, “hopping down the hill -near the house- with its wings flapping.”
UFO formation over Bishop, California on 3rd August 2014
UFO formation over Bishop, California on 3rd August 2014
New interesting video footage of a UFO formation recorded in the night sky above Bishop, California on 3rd August2014.
Witness said: Walked outside last night and seen 4 big, orangish-red, round lights in the sky in Bishop, California. I went inside and got my phone and family and shot this video. Could they be aliens? Government Aircraft? I don’t know but it was crazy in person. The video from my galaxy s3 does not do it justice.

Is de oerknal een illusie? De holografische oorsprong van het heelal
Is de oerknal een illusie? De holografische oorsprong van het heelal?
Is het universum 13,7 miljard jaar geleden wel ontstaan uit de oerknal? En zo ja, wat was de aanleiding voor die Big Bang? Onderzoekers van het Perimeter Institute in het Canadese Ontario hebben een nieuwe theorie met een stevige wiskundige basis bedacht.
Wat wij zien als de Big Bang, zo stellen ze, zou de driedimensionale luchtspiegeling van een exploderende ster kunnen zijn in een universum dat er heel anders uitziet dan het onze. Algemeen wordt gedacht dat het heelal ontstond uit een enorm heet punt met een oneindig grote dichtheid, ofwel een singulariteit. Singulariteiten zijn bizar en er is maar weinig over bekend.
“Wie weet vlogen er wel draken uit de singulariteit,” zei Niayesh Afshordi van het Perimeter Institute in een interview met Nature. Het probleem met de oerknaltheorie is dat ons relatief overzichtelijke, uniforme en voorspelbare universum moet zijn voortgekomen uit een bizar chaotische singulariteit. Dat lijkt volgens de onderzoekers erg onwaarschijnlijk.
Wellicht is er iets anders gebeurd. Wellicht is ons universum nooit een singulariteit geweest. De wetenschappers suggereren dat ons bekende heelal het driedimensionale ‘omhulsel’ is van de waarnemingshorizon van een vierdimensionaal zwart gat. In dit scenario ontstond ons heelal op het moment dat een ster in dit vierdimensionale universum implodeerde tot een zwart gat.
In ons driedimensionale heelal hebben zwarte gaten een tweedimensionale waarnemingshorizon, die de grens markeert van waarachter materie of licht niet meer terug kan. In het geval van een vierdimensionaal universum heeft een zwart gat een driedimensionale waarnemingshorizon.
In het voorgestelde scenario bevond ons universum zich nooit in de singulariteit, maar ontstond het buiten een waarnemingshorizon en werd het beschermd tegen de singulariteit. Het is slechts één van de overblijfselen van een geëxplodeerde vierdimensionale ster.
De onderzoekers benadrukken dat dit idee – hoe absurd het ook klinkt – een stevige wiskundige basis heeft. Ze maakten gebruik van holografie om de Big Bang te veranderen in een kosmische luchtspiegeling.
Hoe ziet een vierdimensionaal universum eruit? Het probleem is volgens de onderzoekers dat onze onvolmaakte menselijke intuïtie zich heeft ontwikkeld in een driedimensionale wereld waarin de realiteit grotendeels verborgen blijft. Ze trekken een parallel met Plato’s allegorie van de grot, waarin gevangenen gedurende hun leven enkel flikkerende schaduwen zien op de wand waar ze tegenaan kijken.
“Door hun boeien zijn ze niet in staat om de echte wereld te ervaren, een rijk met een extra dimensie,” schrijven ze. “Plato’s gevangenen begrepen de krachten achter de zon niet. Op dezelfde manier begrijpen wij het vierdimensionale universum niet.”
Wat is er gebeurd met de verzonken stad voor de kust van Cuba?
Wat is er gebeurd met de verzonken stad voor de kust van Cuba?
In 2001 vonden Canadese wetenschappers voor de westkust van Cuba resten van een 6000 jaar oude stad. De restanten werden met behulp van moderne sonarinstallaties aangetroffen op een diepte van maar liefst 650 meter, meldde de BBC destijds.
De eerste aanwijzingen voor het bestaan van een verzonken stad kwamen een jaar eerder aan het licht. Nader onderzoek wees op resten van granieten bouwwerken in onder meer de vorm van piramides. In januari 2002 begon een grootschaliger onderzoek naar de stad, vlak bij het schiereiland Guanahacabibes.
Er was veel aandacht voor de ontdekking. ‘Atlantis gevonden in Cuba’ en ‘Verloren stad in de Caraïben ontdekt’, kopten de kranten. De vondst trok ook de aandacht van de overheid, musea en National Geographic, die allemaal beloofden de sonarbeelden te bestuderen. We zijn inmiddels 13 jaar verder en weten eigenlijk nog net zo veel als toen.
Wat is er gebeurd met de verzonken ruïnes in Cuba? Zijn ze ooit onderzocht? En waarom is het al die tijd stil gebleven? De stad werd ontdekt door Pauline Zalitzki en haar man Paul Weinzweig, de eigenaars van het Canadese bedrijf Advanced Digital Communications (ADC).
Het bedrijf was door de Cubaanse overheid ingehuurd om de kustwateren te verkennen. Voor de kust van Cuba zijn in het koloniale tijdperk honderden schepen gezonken. De scheepswrakken bevatten naar verluidt vele schatten.
In juli 2001 keerde het tweetal samen met geoloog Manuel Iturralde van het Nationaal Historisch Museum van Cuba terug naar het gebied. De bouwwerken werden gefilmd met een onderwaterrobot. Ze bestonden uit granieten blokken van 2,5 bij 3 meter. Sommige blokken waren op elkaar gestapeld, terwijl andere verspreid over de bodem lagen.
Zalitzki zei dat ze dacht aan de ruïnes van een verzonken stad, maar wilde zonder verder bewijs geen conclusies trekken. Iturralde schatte dat het ongeveer 50.000 jaar moet hebben geduurd voordat de bouwwerken naar een diepte van 650 meter zijn gezonken. In die tijd waren er nog geen culturen bekend die dergelijke bouwwerken konden maken, aldus de geoloog.
Zalitsky en Weinzweig wilden de ruïnes niet vergelijken met de verloren stad Atlantis. “Dat verhaal is een mythe,” zei Zalitsky. “Wij hebben waarschijnlijk overblijfselen gevonden van een lokale cultuur die ooit op een 160 kilometer lange landbrug tussen het Mexicaanse schiereiland Yucatán en Cuba leefde.
Iturralde verwees naar een lokale legende van de Maya’s en de inheemse yucatecos die spreekt over een eiland dat werd bewoond door hun voorouders en uiteindelijk werd verzwolgen door de golven. Desalniettemin sloot de geoloog niet uit dat de rotsformaties kunnen zijn gevormd door moeder natuur.
Vreemd genoeg is er niets bekend over onderzoeken naar de ruïnes na 2001. Ook de media hebben er nagenoeg niets meer over gepubliceerd. Sommigen vermoeden dat cruciale informatie over de vondst wordt achtergehouden. Anderen menen dat experts er simpelweg niet van overtuigd waren dat Zalitsky daadwerkelijk een verzonken stad had ontdekt.
Shape: Disk – Duration: 1 minute – flying saucer makes touchdown then flees the scene.
fi movie flying saucer is what it appeared to look like with a system of lights around the circular edge. What really freaked me out is when I looked even closer and could make out what appeared to be what some call a (touchdown). But the beam of light coming from the bottom of the craft wasn’t light at all. It blended in with the sky and I could only see the edge of it. When suddenly the beam of whatever it was disappeared and the craft lights flashed starting with one bulb and went around the saucer ending with a single red flash from a bulb. That red flash was the last I saw from the craft as it quickly disappeared into the sky. I don’t know what that thing was but I am just curious if I and my friend are the only ones who saw this craft that night.
At several points in my life I have seen alien spacecraft that I am sure were not from this earth. I have a military background and I am sure that what I was seeing was not some type of new US government airplanes.
Just south of Charleston South Carolina is Folly Beach South Carolina. It is a barrier island with miles of public beach and at the end of Folly Beach on the Charleston Harbor side once stood Fort Wagner where some of the worst fighting in the Civil War happened. Almost all of the Unions 54th Massachusetts were killed there in the assault on Fort Wagner that stood at that time on Morris Island. The ocean has slowly reclaimed Morris Island over the many years since the Civil War and there is now nothing left of Morris Island except the old lighthouse.
When I lived at Folly Beach in the late 1990's the end of Folly Beach on the Charleston Harbor side was one of mine and my friends favorite fishing spots. We went there a lot for night fishing and really enjoyed the solitude and quite of that end of the barrier island. One night in the late spring of 1999 I and my friend were out at the end of the island fishing when we had several events happen that we would not soon forget.
Here is a artist drawing of a alien grey. Why do people all over the world see these beings and almost all see the same type of beings.
Just after midnight my friend pointed out what looked like red and blue lights out in Charleston Harbor under the water. We watched those lights and tried to figure out what we were seeing but we just couldn't make out anything but the lights. About thirty minutes later we watched amazed as a round disc shaped object about 75 feet across came up out of the water and went right up in the air over us. It hovered there for just a minute or two and then it flew away at a great rate of speed out to sea. I and my friend were shocked by what we had seen and my friend asked me if I had heard the water pouring off of it to. I had and I told him so.
Just a few minutes later we saw three more of the craft come out of the water and disappear out to sea. All were disc shaped with red and blue lights and when they would come up out of the water you could hear the water run off them and fall back into the ocean. The first craft had hovered up in the air over us but the other three craft flew straight out to sea. We were both amazed at what we had seen and we wished we had a camera but we did not. About 40 minutes later about a half mile out to sea we watched as three craft appeared out of no where and just appeared to fly down and go back under the water. Stunned is not even the word for how we felt about what we had just seen.
Fishing was over at that point and we reeled in our rods and walked back to our car. The next night and several nights after that we were back out there with a camera but we never saw the crafts again. Several people we knew who lived at Folly Beach told us that they had seen the same thing several times over the years. But neither I or my friend ever saw them again.
What they were and where had they came from has always puzzled me. I don't believe they were any type of experimental US aircraft. I think they were UFO's and I don't think they were of this earth.
Have you ever saw a UFO? If so why not tell us all about it in the comment section below. Also feel free to post your questions or comments below.
As early as July 1 1947 a strange object that moves at a great rate of speed is spotted on military radar in the vicinity of Roswell New Mexico. If it was a weather balloon why did the military not know it.
On July 3 the military knows the UFO is still around and that it appears to be searching the Roswell area. It moves at a great speed and people describe it as a round large disc. Many local Roswell people see it flying around the area and they know it is not a weather balloon. A radar operator is sent to White Sands to keep a eye on the radar there and see what the UFO does. Surely the US Military knew the difference between a weather balloon and a UFO that locals said flew around the Roswell area for at least four days appearing like it was searching for something.
Then on July 4th 1947 a bright flaming object is seen to fall to the ground near Roswell New Mexico. It has always been my belief that the US Military had finally after four days of trying been able to shoot down the UFO.
On July 5th the object is found by several different people and it is reported as a round disc shaped object that appears to be some type of aircraft. No one reports it as a weather balloon or any type of balloon. They report it as a round disc shaped object.We have all seen the headline of the Roswell newspaper above.
But then the military moves in and takes over. People are ordered off the site and the US Army moves in to make sure no one goes near the crash site. And here the story gets even more interesting. The local Roswell Funeral Home owner Glenn Dennis is contacted and asked many questions about how to preserve bodies and how to treat bodies that have been exposed to the sun. He is also asked for his supply of small caskets. Then a day or two later Glenn Dennis is told he better be quite about what he knows or he will be arrested. It is two US Army officers who go to see him at the Roswell Funeral Home and tell him this.
It appears that not only did the US Government recover a crashed or shot down UFO but they also recovered alien bodies that were small. I really believe that all the evidence is out there but that the US Government has covered it up all these years.
Why did America lose its fascination with flying saucers?
As the news of the day pulsed along the once seemingly unthinkable pathways of the information industry — boots on the ground in Gaza, slide show updates on Mila Kunis’s pregnancy — adherents of an earlier future gathered at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. The occasion was the annual conference of the Mutual Unidentified Flying Objects Network, which, in accordance with this year’s theme, “UFOs and the Media,” was focused not on the ephemera of the news cycle but rather on the eternalities of what several in attendance called “the biggest single story in history,” i.e., the existence of extraterrestrial life on Earth and the cover-up of that presence by the United States government, the corporate structure, and their oblivious and/or sold-out lackeys in the mainstream press.
While this year’s symposium attracted a reported 400 people, this was a far cry from the thousands who attended the MUFON conference in the late 1970s, after Close Encounters of the Third Kind introduced extraterrestrials to the mainstream moviegoer. That was at a time when a lot of people actually believed that these mysterious things from the sky represented the biggest single thing in history. Since then, despite the recent astronomical findings of the so-called “Goldilocks zone” that postulates sentient life is possible throughout the galaxy, ufology has apparently lost its grip on the public imagination, and has been demoted to a neo-cult status. For the populace at large space is no longer the place. Not that this mattered to those gathered at Cherry Hill. Used to marginalization, they were resolved to keep watching the skies.
The tone was set by keynote speaker George Knapp, an Emmy-winning reporter for KLAS-TV in Las Vegas, perhaps the best known above-ground correspondent on the ET beat, if you don’t count people like C.J. Jung, who late in life developed a deep interest in what is called “the phenomena.” A debonair raconteur, Knapp spoke of the ridicule he’d received from his MSM colleagues. “I’ll always be the UFO guy,” Knapp related with wry j’accuse, recalling how after doing a story about alleged alien medical procedures, he found himself labeled “the Grand Mullah in the Church of Cosmic Proctology.” The point wasn’t whether UFOs were “real” or a mass hallucination. The news was that people kept seeing them. Yet, according to the gatekeepers of supposed reality, Knapp said, “you, me, and everyone in this room are just a bunch of nuts.”
This was fun, especially when Knapp began talking about Area 51, “the world’s best known top secret base.” In 1989, Knapp broke the story of Robert Lazar, a then 30-year-old scientist who claimed to have worked the remote military facility in the Nevada desert. Lazar’s epic account of how the US armed forces were “reverse engineering” alien technology from crashed and captured flying saucers has become a cornerstone of the late stage UFO narrative. As soon as Lazar opened his mouth, “the meme was on the loose,” Knapp said, resulting in many books, movies, and Area 51-inspired product campaigns accompanied by theme music from the X-Files.
In the context of today’s ever-narrowing attention span, there was only one drawback to this 25-year-old story: It was 25 years old.
Not that the old was out of place in this crowd. MUFON has been around for 45 years and the average age of those who ponied up $239 for the conference was way past that. Many of the presenters, most of them long-established figures on the scene (Stanton Friedman, the 79-year-old widely acknowledged dean of the field, had to cancel owing to a mild heart attack) were equally venerable, as were most of the subjects they discussed. Much talk focused on the genre’s greatest hits: the Betty and Barney Hill abduction account (1961), the Lonnie Zamora/Socorro, New Mexico sighting (1973), the Rendlesham Forest incident in the U.K. (1980), and, of course, Roswell, circa 1947.
As noted, it wasn’t always this way. In another post-A bomb time ufology seemed a wholly appropriate response to a newer, bigger, and far more frightening world. Long before the appearance of Ezekiel’s wheel, people knew something was up there, and now that we’d fired off this nuclear bottle rocket capable of killing millions, the watchers had come in for a closer look. Suddenly palpable millennialism gave impetus to a number of so-called “ufo religions” ranging from the Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s talk of the liberating “mother plane” to ex-sci-fi writer L. Ron Hubbard’s Scientology. It also enabled a breed of typically American loner “independent researchers.” These were the free-thinking, often highly competitive (later highly paranoid) individuals who drove their vehicles into the middle of the desert, looked up into the vast firmament decided that, for better or worse, there had to be another world beyond this one. The fact that the UFO issue represented the first time a large segment of population felt the then-trusted government was withholding the truth from the public only whetted the frisson of the hunt.
It is true that very little beyond a shadow of a doubt forensic proof of alien presence has come to light over the years, but there are a number of subsidiary reasons for the seeming twilight of the UFO moment. With voracious proliferation of vampires, New World Order conspiracies, and the unprecedented rise of evangelical Christianity, the simple flying disc from far, far away has become a quaint, almost nostalgic specter. The saucer may have been the post-war generation’s signifier of the strange, but even versions of the unknown outlive their usefulness. The end of the era may have commenced with William Gibson’s Neuromancer, which located the drama of the unknown inside the claustrophobic cyberspace accessible to the common keyboardist. Instead of the far-flung wonder to the universe, much of what falls under the rubric of contemporary ufology has become deeply interiorized, resigned to the viscous psych-sexual abduction phenomena described and popularized by people like Budd Hopkins, Whitley Strieber, and John Mack. It is a narrative bothers many “hard science” ufologists. “I’m trying to evaluate these sightings,” said Tom Deuley, a no nonsense retired Naval officer, former NSA employee and a leading MUFON investigator for 37 years. “When you bring in crop circles, time-traveling and abductions, these things are hard to quantify.”
It made you wonder where, short of a landing on the White House lawn, ufology could possibly go from here. Case in point was the presentation of Steven Bassett, this year’s winner of the “Excellence in Ufology” award (MUFON executive director Jan Harzan called it “the biggie’). The first registered Washington lobbyist advocating the position that humanity is not alone in the universe, Bassett organized last year’s “Citizen’s Hearing” which enlisted several ex-congress people including former Alaska Governor Mike Gravel to hear testimony on what is now being called “exopolitics” so as to avoid being saddled by the ufology brand. People like astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who walked on the moon, made the case for extraterrestrial visitation. The hope is that the mock hearings would lead to the real thing, which, Bassett was certain would “blow the lid off the Truth Embargo on the alien question that has existed since Roswell.”
After his presentation, I spoke with Bassett, an ardent former business consultant in his middle 60s who described the Disclosure quest as “my life, now.” Victory was inevitable, he thought, saying, “the Catholic Church’s attempt to suppress the Copernican revolution was a doomed enterprise. Now we’re talking about something far more profound than that … when the government tries to contain the reality of the galaxy, that is a task that is Herculean and ultimately can not succeed.” Once the alien presence was acknowledged, humanity would take a meaningful step into “maturity,” Bassett contended.
There was a manic, almost desperate optimism to Bassett’s Disclosure dream that had to be respected. Yet, many conference attendees had their doubts about the program. Bassett had just finished telling me that the Roswell crash probably resulted from the mid-air collision of two alien craft in a thunder storm. This happened, he said, because these were relatively primitive ships. Bassett said he “liked” this explanation. Other people did too. But what happened when the no-doubt heavily redacted “truth” came out and said something different? Wasn’t much of ufology about speculation, peering into the abyss? Besides, several said, what made Bassett so certain the government could end “the Truth Embargo” even if they wanted to? Perhaps the aliens, more powerful and smarter than our lowly bunch, did not want to be Disclosed. Maybe they liked things just the way they are, skulking around the shadowy mythland of the subconscious they’ve inhabited all these eons. Offering a smile, Bassett said. “Well, I guess you’ll just have to ask them about that.”
None of this, however, was a reason to close the books on flying saucers. This would be impossible, since if you happened to have laid eyes on something you sincerely believed to be a UFO, it tends to stick. I will never be free of that cold winter’s night in 1989 when, along with my wife, I saw a saucer-shaped object fly down the East River and soar beneath the Brooklyn Bridge. The way the craft seemed to coquettishly blink its lights as if to say, “even here, I appear, and then disappear” told me, that against all rationality, this particular interface with the ineffable was meant for me.
These are the things you talk about with people like H. Dyke N. Spear at UFO conferences. As George Knapp said, the subject matter does “tend to attract those whose elevator does not got all the way to top,” but you’ll never see Dyke Spear in a tinfoil hat. Past 80, he remained a man of the world, still practicing divorce law in West Hartford, Connecticut. Once he represented the famous featherweight boxing champion Willie Pep. “It was like Willie’s fifth divorce,” Spear related. “He said, relax, this is an easy case. Just give her five rooms of furniture and a fur coat. That’s what they always get.” Asked whether he took any abuse from friends and family about attending UFO conferences, Dyke laughed. “What are they going to tell me, I don’t know what I know?”
Fernando Garces-Soto, a wry, 60-ish Colombian-born music producer from Miami and fellow witness, was taking it more personally. “I’m spending a $1,000 to come to this. That’s a lot of money for the same old stories. This rehash, and more rehash. Probably next year I’ll spend another $1,000. What choice do I have?” Fernando exclaimed, finding the existential humor of the situation. “I’m obsessed,” he sighed. “I’m all messed up.”
I was at the drive in theater with my buddy watching a double feature. The sun had just gone down and the sky was that dim gray color from the city lights. The moon was bright that night so very little stars were visible adding to the weird glow of the sky. We were watching the movie Speed Racer and I was becoming rather disinterested. I noticed how clear the sky was except for one small cloud floating North on the left of the screen, towards the screen from my perspective(we were facing east), so I decided to watch it until it would pass behind the screen. I noticed it was moving pretty quick and I thought that there must be some pretty strong winds up there, but I have seen other clouds moving that speed. As it moved closer towards the screen it slowed and then stopped all together! I then slapped my buddy on the shoulder and pointed towards the cloud saying look! The cloud then proceeded in the opposite direction gaining speed and altitude.
What happened next is difficult to describe. It’s like the cloud condensed into a spot and 3 rings of green lights with a kind of oval shape (I’m guessing because of the angle) appeared on that spot. They kinda randomly went in different directions. They then went up and seemed to gather in formation, then dive down what I assume was in a SE direction with incredible speed below the tree line and I lost site of them. This part happened very quickly. My buddy saw the lights too but he didn’t see the cloud. I don’t think his eyes had enough time to adjust as he had been looking at the screen. I have no idea if anyone else there had witnessed this. Please after years of scouring the internet I have never found a similar incident. It kinda threw me for a loop as I never believed in UFOs and thought people were just making things up. It has been driving me crazy. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated. I have never publicly told this story for fear or ridicule. I have tried telling my friends but they always dismiss me. Even my buddy that was there does not want to dig into it but I simply cannot let it rest and be lost. NOTE: the above image is a rendering.

Again UFO Phenomenon in the sky over Hessdalen, Norway - Aug 9, 2014
Again UFO Phenomenon in the sky over Hessdalen, Norway - Aug 9, 2014
After countless hours of recording, Streetcap1 captured again a UFO phenomenon in the sky above Hessdalen on August 9, 2014.
The Hessdalen phenomenon is an unexplained light usually seen in the Hessdalen valley in Norway.
Unusual lights have been reported here since the 1940s or earlier. Especially high activity of Hessdalen lights took place from December 1981 until the summer of 1984 when lights were observed 15–20 times per week. Since then, the activity has decreased and now the lights are observed some 10–20 times per year.
But now scientists think the unusual lights could be formed by a natural ‘battery’ buried deep underground, created by metallic minerals reacting with a sulphurous river running through it.
The researchers noticed a small fluctuation in the areas’ magnetic field before the formation of the lights, but when they measured radioactivity and seismic activity – both of which could cause such a phenomenon
Jader Monari of the Institute of Radio Astronomy in Medicina, Italy, has studied the Hessdalen site since 1996 and found that rocks in the valley are rich in zinc and iron on one side of the river running through it, and rich in copper on the other side. ‘If there is sulphur in the water in the middle, it makes a perfect battery’ he said.
Dr Monari believes that bubbles of ionised gas are created when sulphurous fumes from the River Hesja react with the humid air of the valley. The geology also forms electromagnetic field lines in the valley, which could explain why the orbs of light move around.
In spite of ongoing research there is no convincing explanation of the origin of these lights (Orbs/Spheres) and it not explain other strange sightings (image above) linked to the UFO phenomenon.

Ancient Aliens S07E03 – The God Particle
Ancient Aliens S07E03 – The God Particle
New episode of Ancient Aliens S07E03 – The God Particle.
It has been called the key to the universe and possibly the most important scientific breakthrough of all time. Could the so-called “God Particle” reveal the truth about our origins? And might clues to its significance have been left here onEarth thousands of years ago by extraterrestrial beings? The age-old question, “where did we come from?” remains a mystery, but in 2012, scientists at CERN laboratory announced the discovery of the “God Particle”–the subatomic particle that is believed to give mass to matter–and offers a closer understanding of just how the universe began. The discovery seemingly pitted science against religion. But could science and religion actually be kindred spirits? Many ancient religions and mythologies describe the origins of the universe in ways very similar to today’s scientific explanations and proclaim that this information was given to them by otherworldy beings.
Witness said: I was filming the sky due to a heavy chemtrail assault happening out west over the mountains, when i was checking my footage later in the day I saw what appears to be craft of moderate size zooming in and out of the clouds… a flat mushroom shapped craft with a dark grey metalic look with highly reflective surfaces. I was, as far as I know, the only witness to this event.
"We hebben allemaal een aantal buitenaardse genen"
“We hebben allemaal een aantal buitenaardse genen”
In Joshua Tree in de Amerikaanse staat Californië wordt op dit moment een grote UFO-conferentie gehouden. Naar schatting zijn er ruim 2000 aanwezigen. “Ik heb al van kleins af aan contact,” zei spreker Bruce Benefiel. Hij werd op 5-jarige leeftijd als weeskind geadopteerd. Vanaf dat moment begon hij zich af te vragen waar hij vandaan kwam en wie zijn biologische vader en moeder waren.
Op 8-jarige leeftijd had Benefiel naar eigen zeggen een buitenlichamelijke ervaring. Hij werd wakker in de hoek van zijn kamer en zag hoe zijn lichaam uit bed stapte, uit het raam klom en door het weiland liep. Het voelde vervolgens alsof hij in de lucht zweefde.
“De eerste keer zag ik een enorme oranjekleurige sigaarvormige wolk,” zei hij. “Het object was een kilometer lang. Ik zag mezelf en de inzittenden. We verdwenen in een wolk, en de volgende ochtend werd ik weer wakker.” Dit gebeurde volgens Benefiel tenminste eens per maand. Hoewel hij niet precies wist wat er in de wolk gebeurde, werd hij altijd blij wakker.
In 1981 liep Benefiel door een boekenwinkel in Muncie in de staat Indiana, toen er plotseling een boek van de plank viel met de titel ‘Aliens Among Us’. In de eerste alinea die hij las stond dat de meeste zogeheten contactees in de jaren vijftig en zestig een oranje sigaarvormige wolk hadden gezien.
Op de conferentie, die samenvalt met de Perseïdenzwerm, zijn wetenschappers, archeologen, schrijvers en experts aanwezig. Onder de sprekers zijn George Noory van Coast to Coast AM, Giorgio A. Tsoukalos van het programma Ancient Aliens, dr. Steven Greer van het Disclosure Project, David Wilcock, Michael Tellinger en Erich von Däniken, schrijver van het boek ‘Waren de goden kosmonauten?’.
“We zijn allemaal kinderen van het universum,” zei Von Däniken vrijdag tegenover een groep van meer dan 200 mensen. “We hebben allemaal een aantal buitenaardse genen.”
In zijn boek, dat in 1968 is gepubliceerd, analyseert Von Däniken oude ruïnes, verloren steden, ruimtehavens en wetenschappelijke onderzoeken die wijzen op buitenaardse interventie in de geschiedenis.
Hij legde uit dat UFO’s vóór de zondvloed de aarde bezochten, voordat Noach zijn Ark vulde. Hij zei dat ze ons nu van een afstand in de gaten houden en op een dag mogelijk terugkeren.
Von Däniken wordt gezien als de geestelijk vader van een beweging die de overheid onder druk zet om documenten over UFO’s en buitenaardse activiteit vrij te geven. Hij zei dat hij indertijd werd verguisd vanwege zijn denkbeelden, maar dat we nu in een andere tijd leven.
J'ai rencontré deux fois John Mack. Bien entendu, il n'ignorait pas la composante psychique de histoires d'enlèvements ! La première fois, c'était à Paris avec Joël Mesnard après la publication de son livre, que j'avais présenté dans LDLN. La seconde fois, j'avais déjeuné avec lui et avec Paola Harris à la conférence de San Marino en 1999, et je peux vous dire qu'il n'était pas aussi prudent que vous croyez sur l'HET. Mais je vous concède que je ne peux pas le prouver. C'était une conversation privée et je ne veux pas en dire plus. Au cours de mes voyage , j'ai appris pas mal de choses confidentiellement, que je ne peux pas répéter publiquement. Et merci à Serge Perronnet pour sa réponse courtoise. Au fait, je crois qu les liens vers mon article en trois parties sur mon blog , fournis dans mon précédent message, ne fonctionnent pas, je je ne sais pas pourquoi. Alors je fais un nouvel essai en espérant que ça va marcher cette fois.

Farmer may hold UFO clue to 36-year Valentich plane mystery
Almost 36 years to the month that Victorian pilot Fred Valentich vanished without a trace, an independent researcher says there is evidence suggesting the 20-year-old’s Cessna was spotted in the sky over South Australia — attached to a UFO.
The Victorian UFO Action group wants help to identify a farmer near Adelaide who reportedly witnessed the 30m craft hovering over his property the morning after Mr Valentich went missing.
It is claimed the Cessna was stuck to the side of the craft, leaking oil. The farmer even scratched the plane’s registration number on to his tractor but never came forward with the information because he was ridiculed by the few friends he told.
The theory has sparked furious debate as the nation’s leading UFO investigators prepare for a national conference in Melbourne next month.
Lead investigator George Simpson, one of the last people to see the plane in the sky, says the farmer, if still alive, might have information to solve the mystery.
He conceded there was no proof, but said it was the best new lead for a case that had intrigued Australians for decades. “It’s easy for some to dismiss, but there are corroborating stories confirming that there was a UFO near Adelaide at the time,” Mr Simpson said.
Mr Valentich had been on a routine cargo flight to King Island in October 1978 when he disappeared.
In his last conversation with air traffic control, he reported an object hovering in front of him and said it was “not an aircraft’’. It was the last thing Mr Valentich said before a strange metallic clicking sound was heard and the transmission stopped.
Extensive searches failed to find any trace of the plane or the pilot.
“This was an experienced pilot who should have been able to identify another aircraft but was clearly unable to,” Mr Simpson said.
Adding to the mystery, an amateur photo taken in the area that evening shows a dark unidentifiable shape in the sky.
Investigators are also trying to find a copy of Valentich’s final transmission that was originally aired on Melbourne radio station 3XY.
The Valentich case will be among a string of Aussie X-files to be discussed when the Victorian UFO Action group hosts its “Age of Reason” conference on September 6. – Herald Sun
‘Ghost Adventures’ Star Gets Fired, Reveals Disappointing Truth About Paranormal Television Series
Aaron Goodwin has been fired from the Travel Channel television series Ghost Adventures, according to Travel Channel executive and spokesman Richard Roscolelli. Goodwin was fired from the series following a rant while being interviewed on a popular podcast. During the interview on the Are We Alone show hosted by Joshua Sweeney, Goodwin went on about an eight minute rant about how the Travel Channel took everything that was authentic and truly paranormal about the show and made a mockery of it by making the crew record its own voices in place of actual EVP’s (Electronic Voice Phenomena) when filming did not reveal enough evidence to satisfy producers.
During the two-hour podcast, Goodwin dished out the disappointing facts. It did not stop with the Travel Channel making them record their own EVP’s but he says they actually made them go back and film reactions of the crew so that they would act surprised when hearing things that did not actually occur.
“If we film all night long and came back with uneventful material, they actually make us go back, and act out scenes. It’s sickening really,” said an angry Goodwin. “This started off as a real thing, it is just not consistent and active enough for the big-shots at the network, so they basically have turned us into liars. We have been committing a fraud in my eyes and I’ve just about had enough.”
Co-stars of Goodwin, Zak Bagans and Nick Groff, have been unavailable for comment. Roscolelli says he expects the show to go on without Goodwin despite his efforts to ‘expose the truth.’
“We are not sure why he said what he said but it is all false. We suspect there may be a feud involving one, or both, of his co-stars, and what better way to get at them than attack the show?” Roscolelli said.
Ghost Adventures, which premiered October 17, 2008, just recently concluded its ninth season on July 12th. No plans or announcements have been made on when, or even if, there will be a tenth season. Some believe the show may have been cancelled, hence the statements made by Goodwin.
“Sounds to me like the show isn’t being renewed and its time to tell all for the crew,” said super-fan Hannah Belew. “It’s too bad. The show was fun. I think everyone watching knew it was faked anyway. Even people like me who really believe in ghosts and spirits know you can’t just walk into an old building, turn on some stupid night-vision cameras, and start seeing things. It was just good entertainment.”
Representatives for The Travel Channel were not available for further comment. – Empire News
‘Terrified” Hull woman Pauline Hickson says she was forced to moved seven times by ghosts that stole her bras – and even used the shower. Faye Preston reports.
When her underwear started going missing, little did she know it would signal the start of two years of hell.
Because what could have been dismissed as a slight annoyance, was actually the work of forces beyond this world and one of many paranormal pranks that would ruin Pauline Hickson’s life.
The 58-year-old says she was forced to move home seven times in two years because she has been followed around by two ghosts, who would steal her bras, take her jewellery and even use the shower.
“I thought I was going crazy,” said Pauline, of Essex Street, west Hull.
“I didn’t know why it was happening to me, it was like living through hell and I had no one to turn to.”
The spooky happenings started two years ago, after she moved into a bungalow in Endike Lane, north Hull. Read more at Hull Daily Mail
Fresh effort to secure a pardon for Scotswoman convicted of witchcraft
Campaigners are launching new efforts to have the last woman in Britain imprisoned under the Witchcraft Act pardoned.
Helen Duncan, from Callander, near Stirling, was convicted at London’s Old Bailey under the Witchcraft Act in 1944 after she revealed Second World War military secrets during a seance.
The medium was arrested in Portsmouth after holding a seance in 1941 in which she claimed to be contacted by a dead sailor from HMS Barham. The battleship had sunk after being torpedoed off the coast of Egypt just days before – but news of its sinking was not officially revealed to the public by the military until 1942.
Miss Duncan was sentenced to nine months in prison after being found guilty under section 4 of the Witchcraft Act 1735, but campaigners say she was wrongly convicted.
Former lawyer Graham Hewitt, who says he is acting on behalf of Miss Duncan’s grandchildren, said he would be calling for a new review of the case. Mr Hewitt, assistant general secretary of the Spiritualists’ National Union, said he had identified 96 mistakes made in the original trial.
Previous efforts to clear Miss Duncan’s name have been unsuccessful, with the Scottish Government rejecting a petition to pardon her in 2008. Attempts to open a judicial review into the case also failed due to a lack of new evidence.
A spokesman for the Criminal Cases Review Commission said: “If Mr Hewitt wishes to send a fresh application to the commission then he is more than welcome to do so.” – Herald Scotland
Well Placed As A Dual Citizen … And It's Wilbert, Not Wilbur!
Well Placed As A Dual Citizen … And It's Wilbert, Not Wilbur!
Hi all:
I found in Jerry Clark's 1998 "The UFO Encyclopedia - The Phenomenon from the Beginning" (p. 851) that the late John Baldwin had been Wilbert Brockhouse Smith's boss at DOT [Department of Transport]. Is that the guy whose name Stan couldn't remember anymore?
Re UFOs, if some of them are indeed flying saucers from out there, very advanced science would probably be involved. Has anyone ever heard of cyclic mass inversion? What does that involve actually? As you know, I am not a top level scientist.
Kind regards.

In 1978, a young pilot named Frederick Valentich takes off from Melbourne, Australia for a routine pleasure flight. Half an hour later he reports a mysterious set of lights around his aircraft, then he disappears. No trace of the plane was ever found. At the same time, a tourist on the Melbourne coast captures a strange object while photographing the sunset. Are the two incidents linked?
I wrote and directed this story on location in Melbourne for the National Geographic series "Invasion Earth" (broadcast as "UFO Conspiracies" in the USA, on the Science Channel). The Cameraman was Miklos Janek, the Editor was Antonio Morra and the Assistant Producer was Macalister Bexon.
Raging wildfires halted operations at the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute’s Allen Telescope Array in Hat Creek, California. SETI uses this array of radio telescopes to listen for incoming radio transmissions that could be communication from extraterrestrial civilizations.
Employees were forced to evacuate the area, and the data network and electricity were reportedly interrupted at the site. SETI senior astronomer Seth Shostak explained to CNN, “We can’t listen when all that is down.” CNN reported that “The blaze came within a mile of the facility . . . on both the east and west.”

Shostak posted regular updates to the SETI Institute’s website during the ordeal. On Thursday, August 7, he reported, “The Eiler fire is now reported as being 40 percent (perimeter) contained. It is no longer threatening the Array.”
SETI scientists were eventually permitted to return to the site. And on Friday, August 8, Shostak posted the following message on Twitter, announcing that the institute’s alien search is back online.
Allen Telescope Array is back, up and running. The bush fire didn't quite get to the antennas, thankfully …
I , together with 50-100 people had witnessed a major UFO sighting in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1997, and it still mystifies me to this date. What is most surprising is that I am unable to find any reference to it on the internet and so am writing to you in the hope that you would be able to investigate. The year was 1997 and I was doing my post-graduate studies in an internationally acclaimed institution in Lausanne that year. I am from Asia and have since gone back to live in Asia, it was only that year that I was spending in Lausanne. It was in the later half of the year probably in Aug or Sep. It was a Saturday night, and had gone out in one part of Lausanne with some friends. I then left that part of Lausanne and was walking to another part of Lausanne where I was meeting some other friends. Suddenly, I saw hundreds of people who had stepped out of their restaurants and looking in the sky. This was near the Lake Geneva shore and the area was an upmarket one with classy restaurants. The people witnessing this were all urban, well educated and well-off people. I looked up in the sky and saw somewhere between 15 – 20 lights hovering in the sky. They were fairly low in the sky and hence could be seen clearly, no room for doubt on maybe eyes playing game on us etc. The closest one could think of the lights was a formation of military aircrafts, but they couldn’t be aircrafts because they were just stationary and making no sound. As I mentioned, it was so unique that people eating in many restaurants there had all come out of their restaurants half way through their meal to witness this.
After a few minutes, the lights moved up into the sky very quickly and disappeared in the same formation, perfectly synchronized. I myself am a well educated person in senior management, and not one prone to believing in unexplained phenomena. This was a very clear incident of unidentified flying object with no room for doubt. Unfortunately, none of my friends were there. I expected this to be reported in the newspapers next day. But the newspapers were all in French and I don’t know French at all. I asked some of my friends who knew French whether anything was mentioned in the newspapers, and they said no. Those days of course, the internet was just in its infancy. For years now, every now and then, I search the internet to see if this has been highlighted anywhere, especially in specialist ufo sites like yours, but surprise not to find anything. I am hoping you have associates in Lausanne, Switzerland who are able to talk to the locals there and find out.
This took place in an area called Ouchy, that is just by the lakeside. There are a clutch of restaurants on Avenue Willaim Fraise very close to the Movenpick Hotel.
In Perry Hall, I was working on laptop from my car. I saw this object out of the corner of my eye. There was a big lightning storm moving in from west when it appeared in clear skies of the east. I thought maybe it was a remote-control airplane, but it would have been very large at the apparent distance it was at, and it climbed straight up at the end. I wasn’t sure if an RC airplane could do that. I videotaped it on my cellphone, but didn’t realize it was still in view when I stopped recording. Later when showing the footage to a military friend of mine, I noticed it reappeared at the end going straight up behind a tree – hadn’t noticed at the time. Military friend said it didn’t look like a drone. Just curious what it was – it was interesting to watch.
Filer's Files # 32 - 2014 -Spiritual Warriors and Evil Spirit Exorcisms - PART I
Filer's Files # 32 - 2014 -Spiritual Warriors and Evil Spirit Exorcisms - PART I
In special reports, this week’s files cover: Soviet and American Astronauts Saw Alien Craft, ISS Spots Object near Space Station, Mars Images from NASA, Spiritual Warriors, Aliens and Evil Spirit Exorcisms, Manmade UFOs, Russia Builds Up Forces near Ukraine, and 2006 Sighting Reports in July.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: Arizona, California, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, West Virginia, and Washington.
Sightings of UFOs were also reported in: Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Philippines, Romania, Turkey, and England in the United Kingdom and Ukraine.
The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The weekly intelligence report provides you with information on the latest sightings and UFO news that you need to understand the world situation. 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 and Prince Phillip told me of his personal interest in UFOs. The US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.
Astronaut Donald (Deke) Slayton a Mercury Seven astronaut stated in an interview, that he had seen a UFO in 1951:
“I was testing a P-51 fighter in Minneapolis when I spotted this object. I was at about 10,000 feet on a nice, bright, sunny afternoon. I thought the object was a kite, and then realized that no kite is going to [sic] fly that high. As I got closer, it looked like a weather balloon, gray and about three feet in diameter. But as soon as I got behind the darn thing, it didn’t look like a balloon anymore. It looked like a saucer, a disc. About that same time, I realized that it was suddenly going away from me – and there I was, running at about 300 miles an hour. I tracked it for a little while, and then all of sudden the damn thing just took off. It pulled about a 45-degree climbing turn and accelerated and just flat disappeared. A couple of days later, I was having a beer with my commanding officer, and I thought, ‘ What the hell, I’d better mention something to him about it.’ I did, and he told me to get on down to intelligence and give them a report. I did, and I never heard anything more on it.”
Vladimir Kovalyonok, Major-General of Aviation stated: “On May 5, 1981, we were in orbit [in the Salyut-6 space station]. I saw an object that didn’t resemble any cosmic objects I’m familiar with. It was a round object which resembled a melon, round and a little bit elongated. In front of this object was something that resembled a gyrating depressed cone. I can draw it, it’s difficult to describe. The object resembles a barbell. I saw it becoming transparent and like with a ‘ body’ inside. At the other end I saw something like gas discharging, like a reactive object. Then something happened that is very difficult for me to describe from the point of view of physics. Last year in the magazine Nature I read about a physicist… we tried together to explain this phenomenon and we decided it was a ‘ plasmaform.’ I have to recognize that it did not have an artificial origin. It was not artificial because an artificial object couldn’t attain this form. I don’t know of anything that can make this movement… tightening, and then expanding, pulsating. Then as I was observing, something happened, two explosions. One explosion, and then 0.5 seconds later, the second part exploded. I called my colleague Viktor [Savinykh], but he didn’t arrive in time to see anything. “What are the particulars? First conclusion: the object moved in a suborbital path, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to see it. There were two clouds, like smoke, that formed a barbell. It came near me and I watched it. Then we entered in to the shade for two or three minutes after this happened. When we came out of the shade we didn’t see anything. But during a certain time, we and the craft were moving together.” (Videotaped interview with Giorgio Bongiovanni in the village of Kosnikov, near Moscow, 1993. NOTE: The above images are renderings.

ISS Spots Object near Space Station
This UFO was caught July 31, 2014, this week at the ISS and was seen on live cam. UFOs are seen weekly on these live cams so if you watch them, you will catch one sooner or later. NASA has never given any explanation for these UFOs near the ISS. I guess if they are guilty of hiding the facts, then they don’t want to talk about it anymore than they must.

Mars Images from NASA
Check out this unusual Mars photo. It has numerous anomalies that cannot be explained as being made by nature. The largest anomaly is this long object that is broken into three sections. The inside reveals its intricate design. The breaks in it show that this object broke from falling straight down landing on its stomach. http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl-raw-images/msss/00603/mcam/0603ML0025450030301379E01_DXXX.jpg July 29, 2014
Not far away is an alien head. Although it could be an actual head, it appears to be carved in stone long ago and the sculpture or wall it was on.
Also a nearby hand like structure.

Mars may have been the victim of a massive nuclear explosion, possibly during warfare, plasma physicist John Brandenburg argued that the pattern of nuclear isotopes from Mars’ atmosphere, particularly xenon, is similar to the pattern seen as the result of nuclear testing on Earth. In the distant past, Mars appeared to be a life-supporting planet with an ocean, and a greenhouse effect that kept temperatures warm– its red in color because it once had an oxygen-rich atmosphere,
Spiritual Warriors, Aliens and Evil Spirit Exorcisms
Father Gabriele Amorth who heads the International Association of Exorcists told The Sunday Times that he will ask Pope Francis to allow all priests the right to do exorcisms to remove evil spirits, and to ensure priests are properly trained for these starting with the seminary. There’s a huge demand for them,” said Father Amorth.
He was inspired to make the request after watching Pope Francis perform what he insists was an exorcism on a man “possessed by four demons” in St. Peter’s Square. Throughout the world paranormal activity is increasing rapidly. Evil spirits easily enter people using drugs and alcohol.
Several years ago spiritual warrior Bill Bean visited with me and told me how he had photographed UFOs near the Baltimore Airport. He also mentioned his family was plagued by evil forces at their Glen Burnie, Maryland house where he grew up in. His father had become an abusive alcoholic after moving into the home, and Bill believes his father fell under a demonic influence. Bill turned to God and eventually became a Deliverance Minister and Exorcist. He wrote the book Dark Force that describes in terrifying detail the events that tormented his family. He believes the power of God through Jesus Christ he’s able to cast out demons. I personally have observed demonic encounters and successful exorcisms so there is a dimension here that needs further investigation.
He was recently was on Coast to Coast Radio and finds each case he works on to have differences, yet a certain similarity because “demons have the same modus of operation. They wear people down and destroy them and “they hope they can get people to destroy others before they destroy themselves,” he said. Bean spoke about several cases in which he served as an exorcist, including that of a possessed 135-lb. woman who showed signs of super-strength, as she began choking him with just one hand. It took nine police officers and an EMT to hold her down, he stated. Bean believes that in recent years there has been a tremendous increase in demonic activity, with instances of both oppression and possession. http://www.billbeanministries.com/
Prisoner Randall Grier in his book “Escape From Hell,” tells of how God brought him out of a possible life-without-parole sentence and his experience as a Christian, in prison, thrust him into a satanic world that I had no idea existed. He witnessed two of his best friends were stabbed to death, brutally murdered, by demon-possessed human beings. He heard demon-possessed human beings acting and making sounds like animals. He had people run to him in terror to tell him they saw a demon running down the prison hall and wanted to know about Jesus. He witnessed demonic activity where demons would change things in the physical realm like aliens can do. The point is there is a parallel between the UFO phenomenon and demonic seduction, and the abductions resulting in hybrid offspring are being reported in both the UFO field and demonic encounters.
Demons may have found modern beliefs in aliens to be a great cover for their operations that have been reported for thousands of years.In cultures throughout the world, there are tales of intimate encounters with otherworldly beings. Though it cannot always be explained, paranormal phenomena is reported by numerous and credible witnesses.
Jacques Vallee holds a master’s degree in astrophysics and a Ph.D. in computer science from Northwestern University, and was an early scientific proponent of the theory that UFOs are extraterrestrial spaceships. His first book, “Anatomy of a Phenomenon” argued eloquently that “through UFO activity … the contours of an amazingly complex intelligent life beyond the earth can be discerned. Vallee emphasized three points: one, the UFO phenomenon is real; two, it has been with us throughout history; three, it is physical in nature yet it represents a form of consciousness that is able to manipulate dimensions beyond time and space as we know them.
Vallee’s friend and mentor Allen Hynek had arrived at a similar conclusion as early as 1976, when he began expressing his doubts that UFOs are nuts-and-bolts spacecraft from other worlds. Hynek stated, “It’s ridiculous to suppose that super intelligence would travel enormous distances to do relatively stupid things like stop cars, collect soil samples, perform repetitive “medical exams” on abducted clients, and generally go around frightening people.”
Hynek key idea was that UFOs may operate in a multi-dimensional reality of which space-time is a subset that they may exist in a parallel universe.
Jacques Vallee in his autobiographical book, “Forbidden Science,” Vallee summed up his views about the provenance of UFOs, developed through decades of research: “The UFO Phenomenon exists. It has been with us throughout history. It is physical in nature and it remains unexplained in terms of contemporary science. It represents a level of consciousness that we have not yet recognized, and which is able to manipulate dimensions beyond time and space as we understand them.” He does not think they are starships ferrying Aliens from outer space. Vallee thinks UFOs are likely “windows” to other dimensions manipulated by intelligent, often mischievous, always enigmatic beings we have yet to understand.
But by 1969, when he published “Passport to Magonia on UFOs, Folklore, and Parallel Worlds.” Vallee’s assessment of the UFO phenomenon had undergone a significant shift from ET to the view that UFOs are paranormal in nature and a modern space age manifestation of a phenomenon which assumes different guises in different historical contexts.
“When the underlying archetypes are extracted,” he wrote, “the saucer myth is seen to coincide to a remarkable degree with the fairy-faith of Celtic countries … religious miracles… and the widespread belief among all peoples concerning entities whose physical and psychological descriptions place them in the same category as the present-day ufonauts.”
UFOs and related phenomena are “the means through which man’s concepts are being rearranged.” There is “control system.” Described in “The Invisible College,” for planet earth,” he says. “I do not want to be misunderstood: I do not mean that some higher order of beings has locked us inside the constraints of a space-bound jail, closely monitored by psychic entities we might call angels or demons. I do not propose to redefine God. What I do mean is that mythology rules at a level of our social reality over which normal political and intellectual action has no power”
Keith Johnson and Sandra Johnson founded the New England Anomalies Research (NEAR) for the purpose of investigating and analyzing phenomena which is suspected to be of paranormal origin; that is, removed from what is currently understood and accepted as legitimate by prevailing scientific standards. The Johnson’s believe that malevolent demons can pose as deceased persons, but they are actually fallen angels who inhabit another frequency. At the haunted Slater Mill in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, risky child labor occurred, and they recorded numerous Electronic Voice Phenomenon (E.V.P.) that are the voices of discarnate entities.
The Johnson’s are called upon to assist individuals in dealing with alleged paranormal phenomena or potential inhuman infestation in their homes report, “A lot of spirits are not what they seem to be at first. They can be nice and benevolent but can turn on you once they have a foothold. Some of these spirits are very parasitic and can be very dangerous,” he detailed. Johnson recounted a case in Rhode Island he worked on which the recent movie “The Conjuring” was inspired by Carolyn Perron who saw an apparition in her bedroom of a woman in 18th century dress, whose neck seemed to have been broken? The spirit ominously chanted a warning to her, and when Carolyn’s husband woke up, his back was gouged and bleeding. The Johnson’s cleanse homes and locations, as well as conducting “deliverance” (expelling spirit attachments from people).
The Johnson’s in preparation before going into any situation where demonic forces are involved they put on the ‘Armor of God’, as described in Ephesians 6. 10 -17 “Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”
Man Made UFOs
By Michael Rhodes, National Archives
Declassified records from the Aeronautical Systems Division, USAF (RG 342 Records of United States Air Force Commands, Activities, and Organizations) reveal some surprising images:
The illustration was discovered in the pages of a document titled “Project 1794, Final Development Summary Report” (d.1956) The Air Force had contracted the work out to a Canadian company, Avro Aircraft Limited in Ontario, to construct the disk-shaped craft. According to the same report, it was designed to be a vertical take-off and landing (VTOl)
The plane was designed to reach a top speed of Mach 4, with a ceiling of over 100,000 feet, and a range of over 1,000 nautical miles. These pictures bear a strong resemblance to ‘flying saucers’ in popular science fiction films made during the years these reports were created: 1956 and 1957.
According to the Air Force these craft never reached operational status but some were flown experimentally.
Abduction Lights Orbs
The flash in the bedroom could indicate high levels of electromagnetic energy in your home. These can be dangerous to your health and welfare. Evidence of electrical burns, lightning, and plasmas such as ball lightning should be looked for. Our experience in videotaping the bedrooms of abductees is that strange balls of light were caught on the video. These moved through walls and around the room at very quickly. Some abductees believe these are reconnaissance vehicles, while some scientist’s feel they are Earthlights. In any case they may be a new form of energy that can move through walls and are often caught on cameras.
If I could figure out how to harness the energy, I would have a beautiful lighting system very similar to that described by abductees aboard the craft. We have reports from abductees who claim to see orbs that enlarge into aliens. There are those that believe the possibility of AIDS and emerging Ebola are coming from the Grays. During abductions aliens may be using some kind of a dusting spray on abductee’s bodies to protect themselves and the abductees. There is some concern that their medical techniques may not be sterile.
There are NO abductees coming back saying they saw the Grays cleaning equipment, but rather a production line of implant insertion, injections, anal probes, stretchers, cutting knives, and numerous other types of horror makers. These procedures could answer the question of where virgins have contacted AIDS or syphilis.
Dr Tom Gold, emeritus professor of astronomy at Cornell University believes that organisms based on silicon – completely unrelated to all the carbon-based life man has encountered so far – may live at great depths. Humans are carbon based life forms, but silicone based life forms might exist in another dimension or under the earth.
Katie Hall (Author), John Pickering report wrote “Beyond Photography: Encounters with Orbs, Angels and Light-Forms”
The fullest personal encounter ever published of one couple’s encounter with the paranormal, documented with photographs. Beginning with the appearance of orbs, and shedding light on other phenomena such as spirit photography, faeries, ghost lights, ball lightening, crop circles, even alien abductions.
Dr. Klaus Heinemann, a former research professor at Stanford University and researcher for NASA, says ‘ There is no doubt in my mind that the Orbs may well be one of the most significant ‘outside of this reality’ phenomena mankind at large has ever witnessed’. After literally stumbling into orbs appearing as bright as light bulbs in photographs he was taking, Heinemann immediately sensed that he was onto something profound. There was no choice but to convince himself that his notion was on solid grounds. Heinemann looked at thousands of pictures he had taken to test the hypothesis that these light circles are nothing less than emanations from Spirit beings.
Flying Shields
Gary A. David writes, “The sky god Sotuknang, took them on his flying shield up into the sky so that they could see for many miles around.” Feeding the hungry children ripe melons, he told them that they must have faith in him and in his teachings that would later arrive through their dreams. Finally he landed a short distance from the village in which their mother and father had settled, bid the young ones farewell, and flew up again into the clouds. Forever grateful to the sky god, the brother and sister walked into the village to be reunited with their parents.
Kachina dolls are objects made in human or humanlike shape, and they are common in Native American ritual, often referred to sky gods. Although sold as objects of art, the spectacular kachina dolls retain a valued religious role, particularly in educating children. Hopi Native Americans use kachina dolls to instruct their children in the ways of Hopi tradition and belief. Kachina dolls are passed out to children in ceremonies representing spirits that act as mediators between gods and humans.
On Second Mesa near Mishongnovi an ancient petroglyph depicts a dome-shaped object resting on an arrow which represents travel through space, and the head of a Hopi maiden who represents pristine purity. As the Hopis believe that other planets are inhabited, this petroglyph represents a paatuwvota or a ‘flying shield’ similar to a ‘flying saucer’ that came here in the Beginning. So now at the End the sacred ones will arrive from another planet, said to be Venus, in UFOs. Many Hopi traditionalists recently have reported seeing flying saucers, all piloted by beings they call Kachinas.” Mask of Sotuknang.
Because the Hopis had no such thing as a saucer, flying or otherwise, they named it after the cultural accouterment closest to that shape, namely, the warrior’s shield. The word tuwvota specifically signifies this type of shield. Oddly, the concept of war is connected in Hopi ideology with the stars. The use of tuwvota rather than the more common word for ‘disk’ or ‘circle’ thus suggests a celestial origin for the paatuwvota
Since the Hopi term paa means ‘water’, paatuwvota possibly refers to the expanding concentric rings in water. This might be a metaphorical description for the way the peculiar airborne device appeared to function. The related word patuka, or ‘spindle’, may also describe the shield’s spinning motion. In addition, the prefix pa- denotes wonder or awe. For the people of the desert, water equals wonder, but pa- perhaps suggests the reaction to this extraordinary means of transportation.
The tradition of the flying shield also appears in rock art. The photo at left is an ancient petroglyph, or rock carving, found near Winslow, Arizona, apparently showing a triangular craft.
Russia Builds up Forces near Ukraine
DONETSK — The Ukrainian Army is advancing towards the largest rebel-held city in Eastern Ukraine, and tension is mounting over whether a large Russian army of some 45,000 troops will launch an attack to help the repel held city. The new sanctions against Russia do not seem effective. President Vladimir Putin has resisted mounting pressure from Russian nationalists to send the army in to back the mutiny in eastern Ukraine. The flow of heavy weapons and support for separatists from Russia” hasincreased over the last month. Putin is likely delaying action until the need for Russian gas in Europe is strong raising his bargaining power.
Russian speaking section of Ukraine is in blue.
Ronald Regehr writes, “DSP could detect if there was a surface-to-air missile (SAM) used to bring down the Malaysian airlines flight over Ukraine. Further, DSP has the inherent capability to determine the launch point. Since this capability was made public years ago with regards to the Iran/Iraq war, this information should NOT be classified. If President Obama does not release these data, then we KNOW there are some international games going on.

Sightings in the United States
Arizona Light
Tucson – An object was seen pulsing red, blue and white, moving up and down and side to side in perfect 90 degree angles for five minutes on July 27, 2014 at 8:20 PM. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
California Disc
San Simeon — I was taking a tour of Hearst Castle with my family on July 25, 2014. Around 11:15 AM, we were nearing completion of our tour and I was taking pictures outside but did not notice anything while taking pictures. Two days later I reviewed my pictures on a laptop computer. One picture of the towers on the front of the Hearst mansion had a bird flying in it so I zoomed in to look at the bird and noticed an unidentifiable object towards the top of the picture. It does not have wings and appears to be a “typical” flying saucer type object. I’m stationed nearby, in the Army and am fairly tuned in to what is going on around/above me. I cropped the picture to show the Disc.
Murrieta— I saw a giant sized object in the sky. It was changing direction, had black, fire and golden light. It reflected light, looked like it was on fire or giving off radiation at Midnight on August 1, 2014.
Response from Witness: This is a real photo of a boomerang shape that looked like it was on fire or had a golden glow of light. The sighting lasted about 5 minutes as it changed direction and hovered. It fell then came by the road. As it was passing me I snapped the shot and blew it up. It has red radiation around it. The sighting was at midnight, on August 1, 2014, in a field behind Vista School. This picture is not what I saw. It was a very large object moving very fast until it got very close. It had golden, black, beam lights. It looked like it was emitting radiation or was on fire. It came slowly above my car and changed direction.

Missouri Chevron
Dixon – I saw a bright light through the trees while sitting on the back porch at roughly 5 AM on July 16, 2014. It was as bright as the moon but disappeared due to the trees that then cleared above them. I was thinking “this is a UFO” due to its apparent shape and size and brightness. I woke my husband and told him to get up and we watched it fly over our house together. I ran into the front yard and hid under some trees in case it was watching me. It was 1/6 size of the moon. It was a blinding white light. It was either a chevron shape, but not a complete triangle. We were able to watch it together for at least 30 seconds before it disappeared from our sight. I am a military vet and my husband is an executive on an Army base. It was definitely a blazing bright craft. NOTE: The above image is real and was taken on 10-19-13 over Sedona Arizona.

New Jersey Triangular Formation
Cape May– At 9:30 pm on July 30, 2014, two friends and I were on the second floor deck enjoying the day’s events and looking at the stars and saw a helicopter head up the coast (NE) and returned 15 minutes later. It left at 9:47 pm, when I spotted three faint amber lights SW in a triangular formation out over the water. The lights were moving very fast in formation to the NE, up the coast of Cape May over the ocean. We could not determine the size or distance from us, but we estimate the speed at 900 mph based on other aircraft that were in the area.
About 8 seconds after initial sighting the craft was lost in the light pollution and appeared to perform a slight rotation. It was that quick, no time for cameras and we were quite amazed at the speed at which the lights moved. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New York Light
Middletown – Driving home from dinner my wife and I on July 27, 2014, spotted candle flame a little smaller than the moon. Only it didn’t flicker. I can see patterns but they didn’t move. I was driving so I kept my eyes on the road while glancing at the thing in the sky. When we reached our driveway we got out and watched it recede — still in a straight line — while another plane taking off from Stewart Airport, in nearby Newburgh was flying the opposite direction at a slight angle. It became small in the distance and just turned itself off. We waited a bit to see if it would come on again, but it didn’t. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Pennsylvania Lights
On July 31 2014, about 9:05 pm, I left home traveling southeast when I saw two bright almost oval orange lights in the sky. They were in front of me, so I stopped my vehicle to look more closely to see orange lights moving through the sky almost horizontally similar to the little red blinking light on an airplane but 5-10 times the size. I noticed a third identical light following the first two, I decided to continue to my destination a 1/4 mile away to see if I could still see them. I came to a traffic light and took a photo with my cell phone”. I saw a car coming the opposite way thatran the red light. I pulled into the parking lot, saw four lights heading northeast and took a second photo.Thanks to MUFON CMS
South Carolina Barrel
Cayce — My mother and stepfather were sitting by the pool on June 1, 2014, when he noticed an object and asked, “What’s that?” It wasn’t a balloon but following the wind heading east. He grabbed the binoculars and we started videotaping. It was shaped like a barrel, overblown to the point of bowing. The “wooden slats” now spaced apart from the bowing appeared to be a metal, grayish in color. With at least two, possibly three horizontal straps made of the same metal. The interior if you will was close to a deflated football and wrinkled from being half flat. It had roughly the same texture as a football with a teardrop tip on top. It was hovering and rotating, gaining and losing altitude, slowly heading north to the Columbia International Airport with planes taking off. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Object
Pflugerville – This photo was taken on July 9th, 2014. I have sent this photo to MUFON who are currently investigating it. If you zoom in on the reddish glow in the upper left corner there are tiny black dots around it. MUFON is very interested and has been in contact with me through emails for several days. Let me know what you think. Note: I don’t believe that the anomaly is a real object and is probably a reflection or camera lens flare. Many lens flares are pink in color. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com
Washington Triangle
Yelm — Walking to the store down the road by a construction area on August 1, 2014, I saw lights in the sky that I thought was an airplane until the lights started changing. I saw lights in a triangle shape with green pulsating lights from a very bright point. There was no sound coming from the object in the sky.
After seeing the object it was scary, but yet exciting. The object moved in our direction but I was afraid to look at it any more. Thanks to MUFON CMS
West Virginia Six Bright Lights
Barboursville — I was sitting in the living room at about 1 am, on a cloudy, starless night on August 3, 2014. I looked out the window and saw six bright, glowing objects hovering in the sky. They were arranged like stair steps, and you could have drawn a diagonal line through them. I knew they weren’t stars because it was a cloudy night. They were also slightly bigger and brighter than airplanes. They had a yellow-orange glow. I prayed to God asking what it was and stood up with my iPod to take a picture. They began to move in a scattered motion from their diagonal arrangement. One by one they faded into the sky in about 30 seconds. They were much larger and brighter in person than the image and scattered in every direction. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Australia Lights
Albury — You can see a triangle object moving around in the sky above Australia. Date of the sighting is unknown.
I cannot believe the similarity of this bizarre object I had witnessed and filmed. On this week’s Filer’s Report – the Regina photo is the same type of craft I saw. http://nationalufocenter.com/2014/07/filers-files-31-2014-et-colonizing-earth/ Here’s what I witnessed and photographed over Lake Ontario, Enjoy and keep up the great work! Thanks to Paul
Cobourg, Ontario – On Friday June 27, 2014, I went to a festival along the boardwalk and the beach was busy. We went down to the shorelines and enjoyed the afternoon on the beach. Later in the day around 4:30 pm, I noticed something quite strange south over Lake Ontario. This dark black unknown object appeared static – as like looking at a mirage. The distance appeared miles away dark static black. It moved very slow east for about 30 minutes. So on a high 20X optical zoom I could not ID this unknown. It had a strange box like structure. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Germany Triangle
Kassel -- A triangle shaped giant UFO was spotted on 26 June 2014 hovering over Germany. It was a giant triangular object
In a strange sighting, an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) was spotted hovering over the skies of Germany. A black giant triangular-UFO was spotted hovering over Germany.
San Giovanni Rotondo — The sighting lasted about 5 minutes on August 5, 2014. In the beginning there were four lights, but after a minute, two of them have suddenly disappeared.
The lights were moving south in direction from Gargano to the Tavoliere delle Puglie. To the naked eyes they were much bigger and looked like red balls of fire.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Mexico Triangle
Cancun — My girlfriend and I were at our hotel in Cancun when I noticed a strange object in the sky on May 20, 2014. At first I thought it was a bird, but it was descending rapidly and the closer it came down towards us I thought it might be a UFO. I grabbed my iPhone and started recording it and got some good footage as it descended and hovered for a moment then shot off rapidly.
I don’t know what this could be? The Image was darkened. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Philippines Flying Object
Manila — On 28 June 2014, an 11 year old girl vacationing at the Hotel Sofitel with her family chanced upon a married couple celebrating their wedding anniversary who used to coach at her school. The girl took out her mobile phone and took several pictures of the couple as they lounged at sunset on Manila Bay. The girl immediately uploaded the first picture she took to her Instagram friend who commented that the picture was that of a UFO. The girl had not seen the object when she took the photo or anything that resembled the object in size or shape. A second photo taken immediately after the first one, and the object was no longer there. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Romania Orbs
Iasi – On August 3, 2014, at 9:45 PM, I went to the veranda and looked south over the city to see a bright red-yellow light moving slowly upwards. It moved east vertically upwards and did not explode. The bright light moved slowly for about two minutes, covering about 4 km, and then slowed until it was almost hovering. Then gradually the light dimmed to a red-brown and went out. I noticed a second hovering very bright light to the west that was slowly moving horizontally towards the south, but then the light begun to fade, as had the previous bright light, and it disappeared. Five minutes later a third bright light behaved similarly. There were no planes expected at the airport during this time. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Turkey Triangle
Ankara – I was at my home gardening on July 3, 2014, when I noticed white lights on a triangular shaped object with basketball
Thanks to MUFON CMS size lights/orbs.
It and going straight with all glowing white lights moving very fast silently.
I saw it and think all possibilities are possible.
United Kingdom/England near the Moon
London – My partner and were at walking down Oxford Street and I was taking photos of famous landmarks using my iPhone 4S on May 1, 2012.
For a split second I took a picture of the BT Mast and later I noticed this triangle shaped object. I did not see or hear it.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Sutton Coldfield — I was looking at the moon out of my bedroom window on July 13, 2014, using my Digital SLR Sony A58 camera, and using a 55-300 lens at full length. It was clear night, no clouds or breeze etc. the camera was on a tripod and I was using a remote, to reduce shake.
I only saw the object after I uploaded the photos onto my computer. The object didn’t appear in any photos prior or after the image with the object. I am ruling out a bird or a bat or a plane/helicopter as, when I zoom in, it just seems as though the object is too far away, and actually looks like it’s closer to the moon than the earth! Thanks to MUFON CMS
Ukraine Flying Object
Izmail — In the early morning I went out on a balcony to breathe crisp air, when something gave me an idea to take picture of the sky on July 14, 2014.
I took two pictures within 5-6 seconds and noticed a quickly retiring object which was on these pictures. It was a silent round object that discharged air like plasma. Thanks to MUFON CMS

500,000-year-old Spark Plug Found In Rock?
500,000-year-old Spark Plug Found In Rock?
On February 13, 1961, Wallace Lane, Virginia Maxey, and Mike Mikesell were seeking interesting mineral specimens, particularly geodes, for their “LM & V Rockhounds Gem and Gift Shop” in Olancha, California.
On this particular day, the trio were about six miles northeast of Olancha, near the top of a peak about 4,300 feet in elevation and about 340 feet above the dry bed of Owens Lake.
According to Maxey, “We hiked about three miles north, after we had parked some five miles east of State Highway 395, south of Olancha, California.” At lunchtime, after collecting rocks most of the morning, all three placed their specimens in the rock sack Mikesell was carrying.
The next day in the gift shop’s workroom, Mikesell ruined a nearly new diamond saw blade while cutting what he thought was a geode. Inside the nodule that was cut, Mikesell did not find a cavity as so many geodes have, but a perfectly circular section of very hard, white material that appeared to be porcelain.
In the center of the porcelain cylinder, was a 2-millimeter shaft of bright metal.
The metal shaft responded to a magnet.
There were still other odd qualities about the specimen. The outer layer of the specimen was encrusted with fossil shells and their fragments.
In addition to shells, the discoverers noticed two nonmagnetic metallic metal objects in the crust, resembling a nail and a washer.
Stranger still, the inner layer was hexagonal and seemed to form a casing around the hard porcelain cylinder. Within the inner layer, a layer of decomposing copper surrounded the porcelain cylinder.
Very little is known about the initial physical inspections of the artifact. According to discoverer Virginia Maxey, a geologist she spoke with who examined the fossil shells encrusting the specimen said the nodule had taken at least 500,000 years to attain its present form.
However, the identity of the first geologist is still a mystery, and his findings were never officially published.
Another investigation was conducted by creationist Ron Calais. Calais is the only other individual known to have physically inspected the artifact, and was allowed to take photographs of the nodule in both X ray and natural light. Calais’s X-rays brought interest in the artifact to a new level.
The X-ray of the upper end of the object seemed to reveal some sort of tiny spring or helix. INFO Journal Publisher Ronald J. Willis speculated that it could actually be “the remains of a corroded piece of metal with threads.”
The other half of the artifact revealed a sheath of metal, presumably copper, covering the porcelain cylinder.
Ever since the artifact was first discovered, numerous individuals have speculated about its mysterious origin and possible use.
Virginia Maxey speculated that “one possibility is that it is barely 100 years old – something that lay in a mud bed, then got baked and hardened by the sun in a matter of a few years.” However it was Maxey who supplied the claim that the artifact could be at least 500,000 years old.
“Or else it is an instrument as old as legendary Mu or Atlantis. Perhaps it is a communications device or some sort of directional finder or some instrument made to utilize power principles we know nothing about.”
INFO Journal editor Paul J. Willis speculated that the artifact was some sort of spark plug. His brother found the suggestion extraordinary.
“I was thunderstruck,” he wrote, “for suddenly all the parts seemed to fit. The object sliced in two shows a hexagonal part, a porcelain or ceramic insulator with a central metallic shaft – the basic components of any spark plug.”
However, the two could not reconcile the upper end featuring a “spring”, “helix”, or “metal threads” with any contemporary spark plug.

UFO mania: Development on the ‘Lost City of Giants’ in Ecuador
UFO mania: Development on the ‘Lost City of Giants’ in Ecuador
In 2012, a team of explorers and researchers discovered what they believed to be an ancient pyramid complex in a remote area of the Ecuador Amazonian jungle, one not known to the general public internationally or even within the country. Bruce Fenton, author and researcher, believes the complex may be the ‘Lost City of the Giants’, so named for the large giant-sized tools that were found in the vicinity, as well as the local legends that speak of a race of giant humans who once inhabited the region.
At the discovered site there is one extremely large pyramidal type structure of approximately 80 metres square base and 80 metres height, with steeply inclined walls. This structure is made up of hundreds of large stone blocks, weighing approximately 2 tonnes in weight. The large hill has a flat area at the top where many artifacts have been found. “It looks like a paved wall, an ancient street or plaza with a 60 degrees angle, perhaps the roof of a larger structure. Many of the stones were perfectly aligned, have sharp edges and seemed to have been sculpted by human hands,” said Mr Duverneuil, who undertook an expedition to the site in April and May, 2013.
Between the blocks there is a hard bonding substance like cement or concrete, or some kind of vitrified material. Scattered around the area are a great many artifacts of stone and pottery. Many of these objects appear to be stone tools, some of which are extremely large and heavy and would have proven difficult for any normal sized human being to use in any practical fashion.
The size of the tools has led Fenton to suspect that this is one of the legendary lost cities of the giants, well known in local Ecuadorian legends about the Amazonian area. Such places generate great fear among the members of the indigenous inhabitants of Ecuador as they are believed to be protected either by spirit guardians or by beings not of this world. Local legends pertain to giant humans who lived in cities that have become forgotten in the pages of history. In fact bones of giant people have been found in caves in the area – as well as in other parts of Ecuador.
The government of Ecuador was informed of the discovery and later in 2013, an expedition was arranged through the Ministry of Culture, and included Ministry Police, archaeologists and researchers. Sadly, but perhaps unsurprisingly, the government team concluded that the site was a natural formation and not man-made, ruling out any government funded excavations, or preservation of the site.
Fenton and colleagues dispute their conclusion that the site is a natural formation, pointing out the rectangular blocks, bonding material between the stones, the precision of the stone work, and the discovery of the stone tools, as well as a number of large stones with circular holes cut right through the middle.
“There can be no doubt now that what we have here is the remnants of human habitation from a very ancient era,” wrote Fenton on his websiteEarth4all. “What we need to do now is have samples tested, dated, and examined by relevant experts.” Fenton and colleagues also hope to set up a museum in the nearest local village where artifacts can be safely kept and shown to researchers and the public. To this aim, they are seeking help in raising funds for the museum and for further research and exploration.
The big bang poses a big question: if it was indeed the cataclysm that blasted our universe into existence 13.7 billion years ago, what sparked it?
Three Perimeter Institute researchers have a new idea about what might have come before the big bang. It's a bit perplexing, but it is grounded in sound mathematics and is it testable?
What we perceive as the big bang, they argue, could be the three-dimensional "mirage" of a collapsing star in a universe profoundly different than our own.
"Cosmology's greatest challenge is understanding the big bang itself," write Perimeter Institute Associate Faculty member Niayesh Afshordi, Affiliate Faculty member and University of Waterloo professor Robert Mann, and PhD student Razieh Pourhasan.
Conventional understanding holds that the big bang began with a singularity -- an unfathomably hot and dense phenomenon of spacetime where the standard laws of physics break down. Singularities are bizarre, and our understanding of them is limited.
"For all physicists know, dragons could have come flying out of the singularity," Afshordi says in an interview with Nature.
The problem, as the authors see it, is that the big bang hypothesis has our relatively comprehensible, uniform, and predictable universe arising from the physics-destroying insanity of a singularity. It seems unlikely.
So perhaps something else happened. Perhaps our universe was never singular in the first place.
Their suggestion: our known universe could be the three-dimensional "wrapping" around a four-dimensional black hole's event horizon. In this scenario, our universe burst into being when a star in a four-dimensional universe collapsed into a black hole.
In our three-dimensional universe, black holes have two-dimensional event horizons -- that is, they are surrounded by a two-dimensional boundary that marks the "point of no return." In the case of a four-dimensional universe, a black hole would have a three-dimensional event horizon.
In their proposed scenario, our universe was never inside the singularity; rather, it came into being outside an event horizon, protected from the singularity. It originated as -- and remains -- just one feature in the imploded wreck of a four-dimensional star.
The researchers emphasize that this idea, though it may sound "absurd," is grounded firmly in the best modern mathematics describing space and time. Specifically, they've used the tools of holography to "turn the big bang into a cosmic mirage." Along the way, their model appears to address long-standing cosmological puzzles and -- crucially -- produce testable predictions.
Of course, our intuition tends to recoil at the idea that everything and everyone we know emerged from the event horizon of a single four-dimensional black hole. We have no concept of what a four-dimensional universe might look like. We don't know how a four-dimensional "parent" universe itself came to be.
But our fallible human intuitions, the researchers argue, evolved in a three-dimensional world that may only reveal shadows of reality.
They draw a parallel to Plato's allegory of the cave, in which prisoners spend their lives seeing only the flickering shadows cast by a fire on a cavern wall.
"Their shackles have prevented them from perceiving the true world, a realm with one additional dimension," they write. "Plato's prisoners didn't understand the powers behind the sun, just as we don't understand the four-dimensional bulk universe. But at least they knew where to look for answers."

Road workers in the eastern China were given the task of widening a road in the city of Taizhou, in the Jiangsu Province. They were digging about 6 feet below the surface when they came across something completely by chance that no one was expecting to find. They hit something solid while digging and after a bit of research they realized that they had actually hit buried tomb. It was time to call in professional archeologists to unearth and reveal this mystery. They found that the chamber was over 700 years old.
Here is the tomb after it was unearthed. A team worked together to open the box without disturbing the contents.
Here the team prepares to see what was inside for the first time after 700 years.
Encased in the stone tomb was a wooden box.
After opening the box they found that the contents were rare silks and linens lying in some sort of brown liquid.
They discovered a mummy of a woman under the layers of fabric.
They were amazed to see the body and contents in near perfect shape for being underground for over 700 years.
They think the mummy was a high ranking member of the Ming Dynasty.
She was adorned with beautiful jewelry from the time period.
The team carefully moved the woman out of her tomb for the first time.
She was wrapped in many rare layers of fabric that would have been common for a high ranking member of the Ming Dynasty.
Whatever she was preserved in was remarkable. She even had her eyebrows still attached.
This close up of her shoes shows how well preserved her corpse was.
This is a rare find and with advancements in archeology today she will stay preserved in a museum.
What an incredible find to just stumble upon. This find will answer many questions about the Ming Dynasty and the forbidden city in China. After excavating the site, archeologists found 2 other coffins that they are researching now. Im sure we will see more on this story as time passes and data is analyzed. Only time will unearth the beautiful secrets from the past.
35 years after Jonestown massacre victims’ remains found at funeral home
Thirty-five years ago, funeral directors in Delaware struggled to quickly bury and cremate the remains of more than 900 people who died in a suicide-murder in Jonestown, Guyana, many of them Peoples Temple followers who drank cyanide-laced punch.
Some bodies that arrived back in the U.S. at Dover Air Force Base in 1978 were claimed by families. Some were cremated. Others were buried in a mass grave in California.
On Thursday, officials revealed that not all had been brought to a final resting place. The cremated remains of nine Jonestown victims were discovered in a decrepit, now-shuttered funeral home in Dover, officials said. The discovery reopened wounds.
“All the survivors in touch with me are traumatized because that door had been closed,” said Jonestown survivor Laura Johnston Kohl, now a retired teacher from San Diego.
“Whatever journey the ashes took in the U.S. is secondary. The first issue is how do we settle it to make sure the ashes are where they belong … at Evergreen where everybody is,” she said, referring to the cemetery that is the site of the mass grave.
Hundreds of children and a U.S. congressman died at Jonestown, and 911 decomposing bodies were brought to Dover Air Force Base, home to the U.S. military’s largest mortuary. The base has handled mass casualties of both military personnel and civilians from wars, the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the Pentagon and the NASA Challenger and Columbia space shuttle missions.
As the bodies were identified, the military asked about a half-dozen local funeral homes to help the families make arrangements.
Last week, though, the ashes of nine victims were found neatly packaged and clearly marked, with the names of the deceased and place of their death included on accompanying death certificates, the Delaware Division of Forensic Science said Thursday. No names were released publicly because relatives hadn’t been notified.
“It’s just so sad, for me as a survivor,” said Yulanda Williams, 58, now a sergeant with the San Francisco Police Department. Williams spent a decade with the Peoples Temple, including three months in Jonestown, named after the group’s founder, Jim Jones. She left with her 8-month-old daughter before the massacre.
“You consistently wind up finding yourself trying to heal but having your wounds opened up again when new information is given,” she said.
“We would do what they wanted, either cremation or send the bodies back home. Most of them were sent back home,” said funeral director William Torbert Sr., 79.
Funeral directors say it is not uncommon for family members to never retrieve cremated remains.
The Jonestown remains were found at the former Minus Funeral Home after the property’s current owner, a bank, called, according to Dover police and public records. They also found 24 other containers of marked, identified remains, and five containers of remains they could not immediately identify, said Kimberly Chandler, spokeswoman for the Delaware Division of Forensic Science.
The dilapidated former funeral home in Dover had a padlock on the double front doors. The building showed few signs of its former use, although a floral design was etched in glass panes at the entrance. Dead vines hung from the building’s white plaster walls, and cracked windows were repaired with blue tape.
Jones ran the Peoples Temple in San Francisco in the early 1970s. He founded a free health clinic and a drug rehabilitation program, emerging as a political force. But allegations of wrongdoing mounted, and Jones moved the settlement to Guyana, the only English-speaking country in South America. Hundreds of followers moved.
On Nov. 18, 1978, on a remote jungle airstrip, gunmen from the group ambushed and killed U.S. Rep. Leo Ryan of California, three newsmen and a defector from the group. All were visiting Jonestown on a fact-finding mission to investigate reports of abuses of members.
Jones then orchestrated a ritual of mass murder and suicide at the group’s nearby agricultural commune, ordering followers to drink cyanide-laced grape punch. Most complied, although survivors described some people being shot, injected with poison, or forced to drink the deadly beverage when they tried to resist.
Many of the bodies were decomposed and could not be identified. Several cemeteries refused to take them until the Evergreen Cemetery in Oakland, California, stepped forward in 1979 and accepted 409 bodies.
The remaining victims were cremated or buried in family cemeteries over the period of several months following the massacre. – Canadian Press
The past couple of weeks I’ve had a reverse sort of insomnia. Instead of not being able to go to sleep, I wake early. It’s not that bad yet, although I’m starting to fall asleep a few hours before I should if I want to get back on track. I’ve gone from waking up at 5:00 am to waking up around 3:30 am. My morning routine consists of making coffee, opening the blinds, sliding the glass doors to the lanai open, and letting my dog out. For those that may not know what a lanai is, it’s an outdoor screened porch or extra living area usually housing a pool. I also live on a canal which is behind the pool area. There’s a deck down there, too. Most people use them for their boats but I don’t have one yet. I use mine for fishing and I’ve got a fire pit and some chairs around it. Too brutally hot right now for fishing or a fire pit, I probably won’t use it again till November.
My morning routine also includes checking my email, leads on my phone and reading a few stories in /r/nosleep. I’ve had some scares in the morning, spooked myself actually, especially after reading something with the words containing, “Don’t look behind you”. Yeah, haha…
The past few mornings I’ve been hearing some strange sounds coming from the canal. I know they are strange because I haven’t heard these kind of noises before. Ever. Not even once in the three years and insomniac hours that I’ve lived here.
The first time it happened I’m drinking my morning coffee and checking my email before I head here to get my daily dose. Out of the blackness came a huge splash in the canal. A few seconds later I hear a muffled cry (?) and then another huge splash. As my brain is trying to process this in a few scary seconds, I reason with myself that it must have been a gator. A big ass gator. Nothing else could be responsible for that size of a splash in the canal. However, this reasoning just doesn’t sit right with me because I heard that cry. What the hell was that? I puzzled over this all day at work. It was in the back of my mind even when I sold that old Tahoe to the young couple with the baby. Oh, yeah, I’m a car salesman, let it rip on me. I can’t say they aren’t all sleezy anyway. After awhile I came to the conclusion that the cry I heard must have come from a coon or a possum. Somehow it must have leaned over one of the docks and met its demise in the jowls of an alligator.
There’s only one downside to this explanation though. I haven’t seen any gators. I saw a pretty big one when I first moved here, hell she must have been 7 or 8 feet long, but the authorities moved her because she got so big. There was a baby around a little while after that, I called her Lucy, but I think she got too big because I haven’t seen her in a couple of years. Anyhow, now that I’ve come up with this theory I have to hold onto it. I’ve heard the same thing repeated every morning since. Sometimes the cries are louder, sometimes more muffled, sometimes it happens more than once. I have to believe its a gator. Despite the fact as soon as it’s daylight I go check the canal and find nothing. Despite the fact my neighbors haven’t seen a gator. I have to believe it’s a gator. It’s getting closer. – Reddit.com
Chinese fishing boat captain Cai Chengzhu caught a two-ton whale shark, bound it to the top of his truck with rope, and headed to the market to sell it, despite it being an endangered, protected species. The massive creature attracted a crowd of onlookers in Yangzhi county, Fujian province, which took pictures and posted them on the Chinese equivalent to Twitter.
Study Explores Whether the Dead Can Communicate Through Electronics
Dr. Imants Barušs at the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada, has conducted two studies attempting to verify reports that deceased persons have communicated to the living through electronic devices.
In the first study, he was able to reproduce this phenomenon in a weak sense, he said, but not a strong one. This study was published in the Journal of Scientific Exploration in 2001 and detailed in the Epoch Times article “Fascinating Study of Purported ‘Phone Calls From the Dead’ Phenomena: Some Confirmation.” He and his team recorded the static between radio stations under controlled circumstances and while talking to any spirits that may be around; they heard what could be construed as some words or phrases in the recordings. His results hinted that the so-called “electronic voice phenomenon” (EVP) may exist, but the results were not sufficiently anomalous to be considered a replication in a strong sense.
His second study, published in 2007, attempted to address some weaknesses of the first. Instead of using the static between stations, which was more open to interpretation by the listener, he used computer programs that would randomly generate letters and whole words to see if anomalous phrases would appear. If the researchers saw a pattern or bias that deviated too far from what could be expected to appear by chance, it could indicate that a spirit was influencing the machine to convey a message.

An Australian witness at Port Macquarie captured a dark gray, metallic-looking UFO while shooting photos looking west over nearby mountains, according to testimony in Case 58741 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
“When I was checking my footage later in the day I saw what appeared to be a craft of moderate size zooming in and out of the clouds.”
The object was described as a dark gray metallic with a highly reflective surface. (Credit: MUFON)
The witness described the object photographed about 1:30 p.m. on July 29, 2012.
“It was a flat mushroom-shaped craft with a dark gray metallic look with highly reflective surfaces.”
The witness provided three images with the MUFON report: Image 1, Image 2, and Image 3.
Port Macquarie is a town in the local government area of Port Macquarie-Hastings located on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, Australia, about 242 miles north of Sydney, population 41,491.
A witness recently recorded video of an object over Milan that he believes is a biological UFO. That and other UFO news on this episode of Spacing Out!

“In the early hours of December 26, 1980” Airman First Class John Burroughs spotted “strange lights in the forest” of Rendlesham at the Twin U.S Air Force bases of Bentwaters and Woodbridge. The twin bases were home to the 81st Tactical Fighter Wing, which in 1980 operated the A-10 Thunder Bolt II aircraft, nicknamed the Warthog. They were part of a large number of USAF bases in the United Kingdom, known as the 3rd Air Force; Bentwaters and Woodbridge operated as a single entry. More...
POSSIBLE WEST COAST UFO BASESBy Jeff Krause.
On Sunday August 3rd, I attended the MUFON Los Angeles meeting in Burbank, where Preston Dennett gave his presentation; “Is There an Undersea UFO Base Off the Coast of California?” Mr. Dennett presented much evidence in support of that theory, plus discussed many fascinating cases that have occurred in California.

THE LONG LEGACY OF MILITARY INTELLIGENCE AND FLYING SAUCERS - PART IVby Doc Vega.
If the general public were aware of the degree that military intelligence, tampering in domestic affairs, and the intimidation of witnesses that has occurred in the long history of the UFO mystery they would not only be shocked, but would come to understand that our federal government is not always concerned with our best interests. However, for government SOP (standard operating procedure) is usually the utilization of secrecy as a form of power over its people. This policy applies to most nations of the world. As opposed to the hacks and paid trolls who try to convince us that conspiracies don’t exist, you can be assured that they invariably do! More.
LUGHNASADH: TIME OF THE HARVESTby Pat Regan.
July has, in the UK at least, frequently been a time of squally weather and drizzle with little or no respite. What can we deduce though from the ancient and mysterious mythological background associated with August, the late summer month ahead? More...
HOW SUMMER UFO VIDEOGRAPHERS BLEW THE WHISTLE ON A CULTURE OF DENIALby Jon Kelly.
A new video published to YouTube on July 31, 2014, further substantiates the case for a UFO corridor in Vancouver’s Mount Pleasant neighborhood by revealing luminous discharges from the flight of a tumbling opaque body during early evening hours. A second video published on August 1, 2014, demonstrates what many have suspected all along; that golden orbs over English Bay are executing dramatic turns while crossing midnight skies. At least one inevitable conclusion drawn from such freely-available instrumental findings points to the existence of derelict publicly-funded federal institutions steeped in cult-like legacies of ritual abuse, denial and secrecy.

GHOST HUNTERS BATTLE DEMON AT FLORIDA HOME - A TRUE STORYby William J. Hall.
Laura Goodin was distraught. She was exhausted and concerned, fearing she was nearing the end of her rope. “Why us? Why us?” she repeated in her characteristic loud and less than pleasant, voice. It had been her question for many days now but something about it was different that time. Her tone seemed more reflective than before. She lowered her head into her hands and sobbed. More...
PETER SWIFT AND THE SECRET OF GENOUNIA: THE RETURN OF BREMETENNACUMby Pat Regan.
My time travel ghost story, Peter Swift and the Secret of Genounia, was largely based around the ancient Roman settlement in Northern Britain at Ribchester. In those far off days this horse fort was known by the legions as Bremetennacum. The young hero of this mysterious ghost tale is called ‘Peter Swift’ and since I wrote the novel my youngest son, Jason, has to us affectionately become the figure in this book. He also featured on the front cover of the novel. More...

Grootste supermaan van het jaar en sterrenregen dit weekend te zien
Grootste supermaan van het jaar en sterrenregen dit weekend te zien
Deze zondag worden mensen die op het noordelijk halfrond wonen getrakteerd op de grootste ‘supermaan’ van het jaar en een bijzondere sterrenregen. De jaarlijkse Perseïdenzwerm zal de hemel weer doen oplichten. Op het hoogtepunt schieten meer dan 100 vallende sterren langs de aarde.
De vallende sterren, kleine stenen die vanuit de ruimte met hoge snelheid de dampkring binnendringen, zijn afkomstig van komeet Swift-Tuttle. Wanneer zo’n steentje de atmosfeer binnenkomt, ontstaat er wrijving. Het gesteente wordt verhit en de lucht begint te gloeien, waardoor de bekende lichtstrepen aan de hemel ontstaan.
Perseïden boven Jordanië in 2004 (Reuters)
De meeste vallende sterren zijn zichtbaar tussen zondag 10 augustus en woensdag 13 augustus rond twee uur ‘s nachts. Omdat de maan aan het begin van de avond extreem helder is, zijn de kleinere sterrenregens nauwelijks te zien.
Om de meteoren waar te nemen is geen telescoop of verrekijker nodig. Het volstaat met het blote oog te kijken in de richting van het sterrenbeeld Perseus. De meeste Perseïden ziet men vanuit donkere plaatsen buiten de stedelijke gebieden, telkens na middernacht.
Het maximum van de Perseïden valt dit jaar in de ochtend van 13 augustus rond 07.00 uur. Doordat het dan al licht is in de Benelux, is het beste tijdstip om waar te nemen rond vier uur ’s nachts. De maan is echter voor 90 procent verlicht en kan dit jaar roet in het eten gooien.
Een supermaan, een volle maan waarbij de afstand tot de aarde het kleinst is, is ongeveer 14 procent groter en 30 procent helderder dan een gewone volle maan. Het effect van een supermaan op de getijden is minimaal. Er wordt gesproken van een paar centimeter tot maximaal enkele tientallen centimeters verschil. Het jaar 2014 is een jaar met maar liefst vijf supermanen: 1 en 30 januari, 12 juli, 10 augustus en 9 september.
(N.Morgan) In this riveting interview with Graham Hancock, Hancock explains his quest for unraveling the riddle of the Sphinx along with the mystery behind the ancient enigmatic pyramid texts and other archaic Egyptian writings. Graham Hancock has authored many books on the subjects of ancient theories, lost civilizations and forbidden archaeology reveals the millennial code which is embodied in many ancient structures.
One of the mysteries Graham covers is one I find most fascinating, the mysterious sphinx. Facing the rising sun, the Great Sphinx is located on the Giza plateau, about 10km west of Cairo, on the west bank of the Nile River. Later Egyptian rulers worshiped it as an aspect of the sun god, calling it Hor-Em-Akhet (“Horus of the Horizon”). The Sphinx sits in part of the necropolis of ancient Memphis, the seat of power for the pharaohs, a short distance from three large pyramids – the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops), Khafre (Chephren) and Menkaura (Mycerinus).
The monument is the largest surviving sculpture from the ancient world, measuring 73.5m in length and in parts 20m in height. Part of the uraeus (sacred cobra which protected from evil forces), the nose and the ritual beard are missing; the beard is now displayed in the British Museum. The extensions at the side of the head are part of the royal head cloth. Although the head of the Sphinx has been badly affected by thousands of years of erosion, traces of the original paint can still be seen near one ear.
It is thought that originally the Sphinx’s face was painted dark red. A small temple between its paws contained dozens of inscribed stelae placed by the Pharaohs in honor of the Sun god.
A lot of UFO researchers talk about disclosure, but who do we want to make this disclosure, and what are we looking for them to disclose? There are those that believe disclosure has already happened, and depending on your answers to these two questions, you may think so too.
The most common idea people have of disclosure is the President making a special announcement that they have discovered some UFOs are flown by extraterrestrials. This is the sort of disclosure that the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure is seeking this weekend in Washington D.C. at the National Press Club. There will be a panel of former congress members reviewing five days of testimony from witnesses and UFO researchers. The idea is to inspire real congressional hearings that will prompt the President to announce that they knew it all the time.
This sort of disclosure sounds simple. However, a lot of these people feel the government is currently lying about the subject. How would we know what we were being told is now the truth? If proponents of this type of disclosure already believe the government cannot be trusted, why would they trust any announcement?
That is a point that is often made by retired Army Colonel, Dr. John Alexander. He is convinced the UFO phenomena is real and is likely of an extraterrestrial nature. However, he feels government disclosure has already happened. The FBI and the Air Force are two examples of government agencies that currently have thousands of files available on their investigations into UFOs. Alexander says they have released all of their research, but they haven’t discovered much and are as baffled as the rest of us.
Much ado has been made of an unofficial group of friends inside intelligence circles Alexander helped to organize that looked into government UFO secrecy. He thought maybe they would find a group of secret keepers. What he found is that the topic is a bit of a hot potato. No one wants to deal with it, because it is too weird and they fear ridicule. He thinks the real lack of serious investigation by the government is due more to incompetence than anything else. However, he does feel official investigation is needed and advocates for organized research into the topic.
Another UFO investigator who often says disclosure has been accomplished is Dr. Steven Greer. Greer has been in the news a lot these past few weeks for his new documentary, Sirius. He was the first to bring credible witnesses to the National Press Club in Washington D.C. to address the media in 2001. It was an impressive group that included retired military officers, an FAA official, and credentialed people in the private sector. They testified to their knowledge or involvement with UFO research or sightings. To many, the credentials of these people were sufficient enough to be a sort of disclosure. In fact, this event prompted me to not only sit up and pay attention, but to get involved with reporting and researching the topic.
Others feel that the secrets are locked up so tight that getting answers is a much more difficult and complicated task. Richard Dolan, a UFO historian, thinks that the answers are probably locked up in deep black projects. Even the President may not have the need to know, giving him plausible deniability, and making it true that the White House doesn’t know anything about UFOs because they are not in the loop. If we don’t know where the secrets are, how do we, or the President or even congress get to them?
The only really solution to getting at the truth is for the people to demand hearings, demand honesty and demand that the facts be brought forward. Then and only then will we start to get some answers.
De groeiende vraag naar ruimtetoerisme en de groeiende industrie van ruimtevliegtuigen, zet de Britse regering ertoe aan om te beginnen aan hun eigen ruimtehaven. Binnen 15 jaar zouden de eerste ruimtereizen vanuit Groot-Brittannië van start kunnen gaan.
Het Verenigd Koninkrijk wil 62 miljoen euro vrijmaken voor de ruimtehaven en meent dat ruimtetoerisme elk jaar 48 miljoen euro kan opbrengen. Tegen 2030 zal de industrie van ruimtevliegtuigen ongeveer 25 miljard euro waard zijn.
Vanaf 2016 kan de ruimtehaven al operationeel zijn en de eerste vlucht rond de aarde kan al in 2018 realiteit zijn. Een ruimtevliegtuig zal tegen 2030 operationeel worden, wat ruimtetoerisme vanuit Groot-Brittannië dus mogelijk zal maken.
Geschikte plek De U.K. Space Agency is nog op zoek naar een geschikte plek voor een ruimtehaven. Die selectie zal eind 2016 worden gemaakt. Momenteel is er sprake van acht sites in het Verenigd Koninkrijk, zes daarvan liggen in Schotland, eentje in Wales en een in Engeland.
Virgin Galactic van Richard Branson, een mogelijke gebruiker van de toekomstige ruimtehaven, verkiest een plek in Schotland, Lossiemouth. Ook uit een rapport uit 2009 blijkt Lossiemouth de meest geschikte plaats.
Referendum In september wordt in Schotland een referendum gehouden over de mogelijke onafhankelijkheid van Schotland. Dat referendum kan roet in het eten gooien, waardoor enkele toplocaties van de lijst zouden moeten geschrapt worden. Een recente peiling wijst echter uit dat slechts 34 procent van de Schotten een onafhankelijk Schotland willen.
Een markonderzoek toont aan dat in het eerste jaar 120 toeristen zich in de ruimte zullen wagen, drie jaar later zijn dat er al 150. Tegen het tiende jaar zal dat aantal opgelopen zijn tot 400. De jaarlijkse inkomsten voor het ruimtetoerisme zullen tegen dan opgelopen zijn tot 48 miljoen euro.
Wij kijken alvast uit naar de eerste ruimtetoeristen. Zou jij je ook wagen aan een reis naar de ruimte?
Het is goed mogelijk dat er oude fossielen afkomstig van de aarde op het maanoppervlak liggen te wachten op hun ontdekking. Dat beweren alvast wetenschappers van de Britse University of Kent.
Meteorieten die op aarde worden teruggevonden, ontstaan vaak door inslagen op de maan, of bijvoorbeeld op het oppervlak van Mars. Zo is er de Marssteen ALH 84001, die sporen van fossiele bacteriën vertoont, al is daar onenigheid over tussen wetenschappers. Maar het kan ook omgekeerd, dat er na een inslag op aarde stenen met aardse fossielen op de maan terechtkomen. De vraag die onderzoeker Mark Burchell van de universiteit van Kent zich echter stelde, was of fossielen in gesteente wel zouden kunnen 'overleven' in de ruimte.
Daarom simuleerde hij met zijn onderzoeksteam de inslag van aards gesteente op het maanoppervlak. Daarvoor mengde hij de stenen met water, bevroor het goedje en schoot het met een door gas aangedreven pistool in een grote zak water. De kracht van het pistool moest de impact van een meteoriet op de aarde simuleren, die daardoor de ruimte wordt ingeschoten, waarna de slag in het water de inslag op het maanoppervlak voorstelde.
Succes Uit de experimenten bleek dat geen enkele van de fossielen de inslag volledig 'overleefde' en dat er steeds minder fragmenten van overbleven naargelang de snelheid van de inslag de hoogte inging (tot 5 kilometer per seconde). Maar ook al vinden we enkel het kleinste deeltje terug, dan is dat al een succes, zegt Burchell.
Het voordeel van fossielen op de maan zou zijn dat ze ondanks de inslagsnelheid beter bewaard kunnen zijn dan die op aarde, aangezien onze planeet geologisch veel actiever is. "Er is een grote kans dat wanneer je fragmenten zou vinden op de maan, er dingen inzitten die we nog nooit gezien hebben." Toch blijft het voorlopig afwachten. Stukken aarde kunnen onze planeet maar moeilijk verlaten door de dichte atmosfeer en de grote aantrekkingskracht.

Bliksemstorm bekeken vanuit ruimte lijkt aanval van aliens - HLN.be
Bliksemstorm bekeken vanuit ruimte lijkt aanval van aliens - HLN.be
videoOnweer is een natuurfenomeneen dat op Aarde al vrij veel indruk maakt. Vanuit de ruimte bekeken lijkt het wel een scène uit 'Independence Day', een Amerikaanse sciencefictionfilm waarin buitenaardse vliegende schotels onze planeet aanvallen. Astronaut Reid Wiseman heeft de verbluffende beelden gedraaid en ze maken niet alleen hem sprakeloos.
Vanuit het Internationaal ruimtestation zit de Amerikaan uiteraard op de eerste rij om al dat moois gade te slaan en te documenteren. Hij kon al meermaals een bliksemstorm filmen. Gisteren deelde hij een fantastische post op Vine, een sociale media-app voor korte videootjes. De beelden laten zien hoe de bliksem Italië teisterde (zie Vine hierboven).
In juni deelde de astronaut al beelden van een bliksemstorm boven de Texaanse stad Houston (bekijk hieronder) en boven Maleisië. Indrukwekkend!

Europese ruimtesonde na 10 jaar aangekomen bij komeet - HLN.be
Europese ruimtesonde na 10 jaar aangekomen bij komeet - HLN.be
UPDATEDe Europese ruimtesonde Rosetta heeft vandaag om 11.29 uur (Belgische tijd) na een meer dan tien jaar durende reis door het heelal de komeet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko bereikt. Vluchtleider Andrea Accomazzo van het Europese Ruimtevaartbureau ESA deelde mee dat de sonde zich succesvol in een baan rond de in 1969 ontdekte komeet wist te brengen.
Tegen oktober moet een geschikte landingsplaats op het hemellichaam worden gevonden voor de dochtersonde Philae, die nauwelijks een kubieke meter groot is. In november is de meest hachelijke onderneming gepland: dan moet voor het eerst een landing op een komeet plaatsvinden. Bedoeling van de missie is om informatie te vergaren over het gedrag en de samenstelling van het hemellichaam, wat meer moet leren over het ontstaan van ons zonnestelsel.
6,4 miljard km De Rosetta van het Europees Ruimtevaartbureau ESA vertrok op 2 maart 2004 met een Ariane-raket en legde al meer dan 6,4 miljard km af. Aan boord van Rosetta bevindt zich ook Belgisch instrumentarium en Belgische knowhow. De wetenschappers van het Belgisch Instituut voor Ruimte-Aëronomie (BIRA) zijn vooral geïnteresseerd in de komeetatmosfeer. Aan industriële zijde zijn de Belgische bedrijven Thales Alenia Space Belgium, Amos, Nexans Harnesses, Logica, Spacebel en Rhea bij Rosetta betrokken.
De missie van de Rosetta kost ruim 1,3 miljard euro. De Nederlander Fred Jansen leidt het project. Voor vertrek is de sonde uitgebreid getest bij het ruimtevaartcentrum Estec in Noordwijk. De extreem gevoelige zonnepanelen zijn gemaakt door het bedrijf Dutch Space uit Leiden.
"Hallo, komeet!" De missie van de Rosetta eindigt eind volgend jaar, maar ze blijft meevliegen met de komeet, zij aan zij rond de zon, mogelijk tot het einde der tijden. Op Rosetta's tienjarige reis naar 67P heeft de ruimtesonde ook nog een winterslaap van 2,5 jaar gedaan. In juni 2011 werd ze in slaap gebracht op ongeveer 800 miljoen kilometer van de zon. Op die manier kon de sonde energie besparen. Ondertussen zweefde Rosetta verder richting de komeet. Afgelopen januari maakte de European Space Agency Rosetta wakker. Een bevestiging van het eerst contact met de sonde was zichtbaar via het Twitter-account van Rosetta. Daarop verschenen de woorden: 'Hallo, wereld! Zojuist bevestigde Rosetta haar aankomst bij 67P met een vrolijk: 'Hallo, komeet!'
The Apollo 16 UFO tape was a six-second bit of footage that seemed to prove UFOs were visiting our moon. Shot on a jerky, hand-held camera, the film shows what looks eerily like Hollywood’s idea of a flying saucer hovering near the lunar module. Today, it’s trumpeted by sections of the UFO community as a verified sighting, despite NASA debunking it years ago.
When experts extracted still frames from the footage for analysis, they realized that the UFO appeared to have a metal pole protruding from it, one almost as big as the ship itself. Seen at normal speed, the pole was hidden in shadow, but on the still image, it was clear as day. And it appeared to be attached to the lunar module.
The UFO was nothing more than the module’s own external floodlight, with a few dramatic shadows conspiring to make it look mysterious. The only aliens the footage showed visiting the moon were, well, us.
Amazing footage which shows a possible wormhole, spiral or portal appearing over Oaxaca, Mexico.
Locals and experts alike were left mystified as to what could have caused this incredible phenomena.
Some locals are convinced its the work of Aliens, who apparently create and use wormholes/portals for traveling between dimensions or for crossing vast distances in space.
I believe however, that its nothing more than weather phenomena or a failed rocket launch.
For now at least, the phenomena remains a mystery.
CHARAMA (Chhattisgarh): Chhattisgarh state department of archaeology and culture plans to seek help from Nasa and Isro for research on 10,000-year-old rock paintings depicting aliens and UFOs in Charama region in Kanker district in tribal Bastar region.
According to archaeologist JR Bhagat, these paintings have depicted aliens like those shown in Hollywood and Bollywood flicks. Located about 130km from Raipur, the caves come under village Chandeli and Gotitola.
“The findings suggest that humans in prehistoric times may have seen or imagined beings from other planets which still create curiosity among people and researchers. Extensive research is needed for further findings. Chhattisgarh presently doesn’t have any such expert who could give clarity on the subject,” Bhagat told TOI.

There are several beliefs among locals in these villages. While few worship the paintings, others narrate stories they have heard from ancestors about “rohela people” — the small sized ones — who used to land from sky in a round shaped flying object and take away one or two persons of village who never returned.
“The paintings are done in natural colours that have hardly faded despite the years. The strangely carved figures are seen holding weapon-like objects and do not have clear features. Specially, the nose and mouth are missing. In few pictures, they are even shown wearing space suits. We can’t refute possibility of imagination by prehistoric men but humans usually fancy such things,” the archaeologist said.

He added that it is a co-incidence that such ancient images appear to have sharp resemblance to UFOs shown in alien movies. “The fan-like antenna and three legs of vehicle’s stand clearly show a similarity to UFO type craft,” he said.
Other archaeologists would also be consulted for further verification.
One 4th of July approximately 1992, we were observing fireworks from our back deck. The house is on a lagoon off Barnegat Bay. As my husband and I watched, we saw three distinct gray discs in a triangular formation. They were kind of translucent but could be clearly seen. They hovered, and seemed to be three separate objects, and not the “feet” or “pads” of a single triangle-shaped craft. Off in the distance, a star-like object was moving up and down, seemingly very far away.
The three discs seemed much closer. Both the star-iike object and the three gray discs remained in place for several HOURS. It was almost as if they were watching the fireworks display. All of a sudden, the star-like object dipped below the horizon, then shot up at an amazing speed, too off and disappeared as it took off. The three discs remained for a while, then seemed to disappear. I did not notice them leaving, but all of a sudden they were gone. Lots of people had to have seen them, and as a matter of fact, several months later we saw a report on the 6 o’clock news (one of the NYC stations) that showed a videotape of exactly what we had seen.
It must have been visible all up the NJ coast, because someone in another beach town had taped it and sent it in to the news. I am CERTAIN about the July 4th date, but I am uncertain of the year. It had to be during my daughter’s high school years – 1990-1993. I believe it was 1992. I have had several sightings over the years- the first when I was about 15. I was about 38-40 years old when I had this sighting. I am never afraid. I am always exhilarated when I have a sighting. It’s almost like I am excited to see them back again. Somewhere, a videotape of this must still exit.

This case is under investigation by Frank Bretschneider of MUFON New Jersey.
Paul McCartney en Ringo Starr zijn uitgenodigd om op te treden op Alien Woodstock, een festival dat door UFO-expert Michael Luckman wordt georganiseerd in Malibu om buitenaardse wezens te lokken.
Volgens Luckman, voorzitter van het New York Center for Extraterrestrial Research, zit vlak voor de kust van Malibu een onderzeese basis van buitenaardsen. Hij noemt deze plek ‘de Heilige Graal voor ufologen’. Door popsterren die geloven in het bestaan van buitenaards leven te laten optreden, wil hij proberen de wezens te lokken.
De vermeende basis (Google Earth)
Luckman wil een expeditie organiseren om op zoek te gaan naar de onderwaterbasis. Voor zijn onderneming heeft hij al verschillende geldschieters weten te strikken. Het is de bedoeling dat onder meer Shirley MacLaine, Steven Spielberg, Star Trek-icoon William Shatner en Russell Crowe meegaan. Die laatste zag vorig jaar mogelijk een UFO, wat veel tongen losmaakte.
De Amerikaan heeft ook Yoko Ono, de weduwe van John Lennon, hun zoon Sean Lennon en Dahni Harrison, de zoon van wijlen George Harrison, uitgenodigd. Lennon zou buiten een penthouse in Manhattan eens een vliegende schotel hebben gezien.
Luckman heeft ook Robbie Williams, Mick Jagger, Sting, Matthew Bellamy van Muse en gitaarlegende Joe Satriani gevraagd om op te treden. Satriani schreef het nummer ‘Surfing with the Alien’, wat het themalied moet worden van het concert.
Luckman hoopt tijdens Alien Woodstock contact te leggen met de buitenaardsen. Hij wil tijdens het concert een aantal boten sturen naar de plek waarvan hij vermoedt dat er buitenaardse wezens kunnen worden gevonden.
Michel Granger, écrivain et chercheur en ufologie depuis plus de vingt ans nous a fait le plaisir de répondre à nos questions.
UFOcreps : Tout chercheur en ufologie sait combien il est difficile de recouper ses informations, surtout dans un domaine aussi exposé à la controverse ; quelle est la complexité pour obtenir des documents ufologiques aux USA et ailleurs ? Comment faites-vous pour surmonter les obstacles s’il y a lieu ?
M. Granger : Je n’ai jamais eu de difficulté en la matière. Je ne me fie encore aujourd’hui qu’aux sources publiées dans des revues sauf le WEEKLY WORLDNEWS (alias INFOS DU MONDE) pour lequel je suis extrêmement méfiant. Et pourtant il y a du vrai dans ce journal puisqu’on peut faire certains recoupements. Dans d’autres cas, c’est impossible et j’oublie tout (cf. référence récente au fameux singe Oliver qui serait toujours vivant !).
UC :Tout les jours on découvre de nouvelles technologies de pointe, qui en premier lieu n’ont pas de lien direct avec les ovni, ou l’exploration du cosmos ; mais alors que pensez de l’existence de ces piles thermo-photo-voltaïques dotées de fantastiques capacités de stockage d’énergie et que l’on retrouve dans la navigation maritime : qu’évoque pour vous cette innovation dans le domaine ovni ?
M.G : Cette innovation montre que nous sommes loin de tout avoir inventé et que celui qui prétendait cela au début du siècle s’est bien fourré le doigt dans l’œil. Au niveau du stockage de l’énergie, nous n’en sommes qu’aux balbutiements (cf. les recharges fastidieuses des portables). Mais c’est bien là, la télépathie à portée de tous.
UC : Le phénomène ovni est complexe et seul une approche pluri-disciplinaire permet d’en appréhender les multiples facettes ; que représente pour vous le phénomène ovni ?
M.G : Le phénomène ovni pour moi est une inconnue, une inconnue qui demeure dans l’équation de notre compréhension de la réalité. Tant que nous n’aurons pas compris ce que c’est, nous ne nous serons pas compris nous-mêmes, qui nous sommes, d’où nous venons. Les ovnis, à mon sens, recèlent en eux cette réponse. On les a cru fruits d’une technologie plus avancée que la nôtre mais on s’est probablement fourvoyé. Ils sont plus importants que cela. Ils doivent nous révéler un jour ou l’autre ce que nous faisons là sur terre à nous angoisser pour notre propre mort et à fantasmer en regardant le ciel. Si les extraterrestres n’existent pas, nous sommes une aberration de l’univers dont les ovnis peuvent constituer la clé.
UC :Après avoir retrouvé un énième témoin du crash de Roswell qui semble t-il apporte de nouveaux et précieux indices (lire dans ce numéro le compte-rendu) que pensez-vous de l’attitude des USA sur d’éventuelles récupérations de disques volants et/ou de corps extra-terrestres ?
M.G : Je pense que tout cela est de la foutaise, une mythologie méticuleusement orchestrée pour nous détourner d’autres questions plus fondamentales. Disques volants, extraterrestres, tout cela n’est qu’une vision étriquée de quelque chose qui nous transcende et qui nous est jeté en pâture pour nous faire patienter en attendant la grande révélation.
UC :Qu’est-ce qui vous a motivé à chercher dans ce domaine ?
M.G : Justement, je cherche à travers les ovnis, cette vérité qui nous échappe. Des indices de quelque chose semblent avoir été semés sur notre chemin. A l’instar du Petit Poucet, nous devons suivre ces petits cailloux d’incompréhension qui nous conduiront au trésor de la révélation ; ça c’est la démarche collective même s’il y en a une plus personnelle mais qui demande de l’abnégation que d’aucuns ne sont pas aptes à consentir.
UC :Quel fait précis vous décide à prendre en considération un phénomène de type ovni ?
M.G : L’accumulation des observations, leur constance, leur adaptation à l’époque où on les signale.Tout cela constitue, selon moi, un test d’intelligence sur lequel présentement nous nous sommes bien mal classé. D’où ces longues périodes où nous sommes laissés à nos affres terrestres, lesquelles, en effet, n’ont rien de bien réjouissant.
UC :En Egypte après de nombreuse recherches et études scientifiques on vient de déterminer que le sphinx daterait de -10500 ans av J-C, en d’autres termes qu’il serait antérieur aux pyramides du site de Ghizeh ; que pensez-vous d’une présence antédiluvienne sur terre ?
M.G :Je suis un chaud partisan de la thèse des "anciens astronautes" même si aujourd’hui on tente de la réduire à un phénomène de mode des années 60. Nous sommes encore une poignée à y croire malgré les relents théosophiques qui l’ont entachée pour ne pas dire plus. Il me semble bien que le passé de la terre n’est pas celui qu’on nous raconte à l’école d’où le grand intérêt des projets SETI et SETA.
UC :Notre société humaine change du fait de la mondialisation et de l’interdépendance des Etats. Ce n’est pas sans rappeler les propos des "enlevés" qui nous rapportent une vision des civilisations extraterrestres de type pyramidal. Sommes-nous en train de calquer ce modèle à nous même ? Si oui qu’est ce que cela vous inspire
M.G : Je prépare un livre précisément sur les " enlevés " (NDLR : nous y reviendrons !) et la question qui se pose de prime abord est : y a-t-il eu quelqu’un d’enlevé une fois ? Tout le monde s’accorde pour dire NON. Alors qu’est-ce que ces " abductions " ? Un phénomène de mode pour Américaines en mal d’affection ? J’ai demandé à mes amis Américains pourquoi les aliens ne s’intéressent pas aux filles françaises ? J’ai des réponses savoureuses que je réserve aux lecteurs de mon prochain livre que j’écris en collaboration avec un psychiatre à la retraite !
UC :La climatologie terrestre semble bouleversée au regard des catastrophes naturelles en cascade. Partagez-vous l’opinion de chercheurs qui donnent pour explication l’approche de la Terre par un planétoïde encore invisible à l’oeil nu ?
M.G : C’est encore là du catastrophisme de pacotille destiné à affoler les gens inutilement ? Inutilement ? Pas sûr. Ne cherche-t-on pas à détourner de la sorte les gens d’autres problèmes plus fondamentaux ? A ce moment là, ne faut-il pas mieux lire "L’étoile mystérieuse" de Hergé ?
UC :Pensez-vous réaliste de croire à une prochaine fin de l’ère industrielle humaine liée ou non à des contacts avec d’autres intelligences ?
M.G :Je n’y crois pas du tout. Certes le premier contact serait extrêmement douloureux pour les religions et les matérialistes mais, à mon avis, il n’est pas pour demain. Entre les canulars des amateurs et la grande circonspection des scientifiques, même si aujourd’hui on détectait quelque chose, il est probable qu’il s’écoulerait une génération avant qu’on officialise le fait, lequel, à mon humble avis, n’aurait rien de traumatisant. Les Européens ont-ils été fondamentalement changés dans leur mentalité lors de la découverte de l’Amérique ? Au contraire, ils ont pu y donner libre cours à leur instinct d’extermination.
UC :Que pensez-vous de l’abandon apparent de tout intérêt pour l’exploitation de la lune alors que l’on a appris l’existence de 4 autres fusées de type Saturn V qui auraient pu continuer cette mission lunaire battant ainsi en brèche l’argument budgétaire de l’époque pour clore cet épisode soi-disant coûteux ?
M.G : On parle aujourd’hui non plus de conquête spatiale mais d’exploitation commerciale de la lune. L’économie de marché est omnipotente et je ne doute pas que prochainement, les riches iront passer leurs vacances en orbite ou sur la Lune. Apollo a été arrêté parce que l’enthousiasme initial était retombé. La conquête de l’’espace n’a plus besoin de pionniers mais d’exploitants et je crains qu’il en soit de même pour Mars. L’époque a changé. L’homme ne rêve plus d’espaces intersidéraux mais de vie dérivée des drogues et paradis artificiels. L’intelligence humaine est-elle en train de s’intérioriser et de s’engager dans la voie qui consistera à voir dans l’avenir le seul objectif de s’examiner le nombril ?
Since olden times, many people have claimed to witness extraterrestrial beings or aliens. These life forms are called extraterrestrial because they are believed to originate from other worlds. While many people refuse to accept the idea of their existence, many scientists consider extraterrestrial life to be plausible, especially considering their supposed history within human life. These scientists maintain that billions of years ago, it was the genetic complexity of organisms that brought humans into being, and this same genetic complexity could have also brought aliens to life. Some say that these creatures resemble the form of humans but they generally look spine-chilling. Though there is still no direct evidence of their existence, several photographs have been released by eyewitnesses to prove that they actually exist. Here are 25 controversial UFO photographs ever released.
Westall ‘UFO’ incident was actually government radiation testing, reports reveal
Joy Clarke and Sue Savage were among those who saw a UFO in 1966 over Westall High School in Clayton.
AN almost 50-year-old mystery when more than 200 people believed they had a close encounter with a UFO landing in Clayton may have finally been solved after newly-unearthed government documents revealed a secret radiation-testing program.
Although federal and state government agencies refused to comment about the 1966 ‘Westall’ incident at the time, it is now believed that, rather than a UFO, what landed was an errant high altitude balloon used to monitor radiation levels after the controversial Maralinga nuclear tests.
The HIBAL program was a joint US-Australian initiative to monitor atmospheric radiation levels using large silver balloons equipped with sensors between 1960 and 1969.
Documents held by the National Archives and former Department of Supply indicate one test balloon launched from Mildura may have been blown off course and came down in Clayton South in a paddock near Westall High School, alarming and baffling hundreds of eyewitnesses, including teachers and students.
After hovering over the area, it landed at an area known as The Grange, behind a grove of pine trees, before taking off again and being pursued by several light aircraft in a sighting which lasted 20 minutes from 11am on April 6, 1966.
The event has ever since been shrouded in mystery.

But researcher Keith Basterfield, who has spent years investigating unexplained phenomenon in Australia, said a “runaway” balloon from the HIBAL (high altitude balloon) project was the likely answer.
Each test balloon lifted a 180kg payload consisting of an air sampling and telemetry unit in a gondola and was followed by a light aircraft tasked with tracking it and triggering its 12mtr parachute via radio signal.
Immediately after the Westall “UFO” sighting, reports emerged of Government men in suits converging on the area and asking school officials and other witnesses to not talk about the event.
A contemporary witness reported these “suits” stated what the students saw was part of a secret government exercise and that for national security reasons they were forbidden from discussing it.
“My hypothesis is that the incident involved not a UFO, but a high altitude balloon, it’s parachute and large payload,” Mr Basterfield said.
In a research paper completed this year, Mr Basterfield said a close review of all available documentation, including that searched through Freedom of Information laws, pointed to HIBAL flight number 292 as the real culprit.

“The Westall object was described as being a white/silver colour which could describe the colour of an HIBAL balloon or parachute.”
A witness account prior to the Westall sighting stated a flying object — trailing what appeared to be a long vacuum-like hose — was seen by a couple, whose surname was Frankie, near Smith’s Gully 40km north of Clayton South.
“HIBAL balloons were filled with gas through a thin tube which went to the top of the balloon and was left in place during the balloon flight,” Mr Basterfield said.
He said uncovered documents had also highlighted government concern about the potential damage if a heavy test balloon came down in a suburban area.
“The Department of External Affairs files on HIBAL reveal there was considerable discussion on possible damage to property or personnel by a HIBAL balloon,” Mr Basterfield said.
But despite government archival records showing the results of numerous HIBAL test flights, the paperwork for the launches scheduled for the day before Westall appear to have been lost or destroyed.
“What is strikingly missing is a memo reporting on the actual four launches for April 1966, one of which was scheduled for 5 April 1966, the day before Westall.
“So we have no (official) knowledge of where flight 292 went.”
HAMPTON, N.H. – A fisherman has caught a rare lobster that’s bright orange with dark blue spots.
Josiah Beringer found the calico lobster in one of his traps on July 23 in the mouth of New Hampshire’s Hampton Harbor. He donated the 1.5-pound, 5-year-old male lobster to the Explore the Ocean World Oceanarium in Hampton.
Beringer tells the Portsmouth Herald the lobster was found in an area known as Washerwoman Rock, an area between two rocks that gets its name from its “really rough” and “washing machine”-like waters.
The aquarium’s Ellen Goethel says calico lobsters are the second rarest in the world, after albino lobsters. She says the spots are the result of a genetic pigmentation mutation occurring in 1 in every 30 million to 50 million lobsters. – FoxNews
Police raid pub in ‘Holy Grail’ relic hunt…find salad bowl
Police raided a village pub searching for a stolen Holy Grail relic but only found a salad bowl.
A team of 12 West Mercia Police officers searched the Crown Inn in Lea, Herefordshire, for the Nanteos Cup, which was once housed in Aberystwyth.
The only item found vaguely resembling the relic was a bowl for serving salad to customers.
Police said they received intelligence that the cup had been seen in the pub so executed a search warrant on Sunday.
Landlady of the 15th Century pub, 58-year-old Di Franklin, said: “If somebody had stolen something as priceless as the Holy Grail I don’t think it would be on show in my pub. Read more at BBC
After read so many stories I finally got the will to share with you all what happen to me. Years ago, I had the most terrible experience in my entire life. I was a kid back then, living in the countryside with my parents, older brother and grandmother. Our house was big enough to accommodate everyone in their rooms, but me and my grandmother shared the same bedroom in two separated beds. I believe she was afraid of sleeping alone (that’s what my parents told me). On a cold Thursday night in February something changed me forever. After dinner and watched some TV we went to bed like we did usually. After turning of the lights, my grandmother said her prayers like she always did (believe it or not her prayers were extremely reassuring to me that everything was all right). So I fell asleep. In the middle of the night I woke up to feel really cold on my face. Somehow, I kept my eyes closed even after I woke up. I could hear a gust of wind right above me and that’s when I opened my eyes to see “it” (I don’t know how to call it… “ghost”, “spirit”, “figure”,”hallucination”). It was a bright white humanoid figure with a head with two black eyes and a mouth; however the rest of the room remain pitch black. Desperate, I tried to scream for my grandmother, but I had no voice to yell. I tried to move, but the my body was paralyzed. As I struggled, the thing started to speak with a familiar voice. First, I didn’t listen, I was to scared trying to scream for help, but then I heard the thing saying “unite the people”. As soon as it said that, I closed my eyes so hard and it disappeared. When I reopen them, it was morning…a normal Friday morning. Was it a bad dream? Night paralyzes? Vivid dream? May be… Needless to say that I thought about that all day and that I didn’t tell anyone at school nor at home. On Friday night, my father had a night shift at the hospital and the bad news came on Saturday morning. A cousin, that lived 5min from our house, had committed suicide the night before. I freaked out… I got so affected by it that the nights after I could swear that I could see lights (just like starts) in my bedroom. Eventually it faded away and I got better and nothing like that ever happen to me again. Still, when I’m back at my parents, I avoid that room.
PS: A year ago I shared this experience with a friend who had a similar experience (the bright white figure appearance) and we draw what we saw and it was the same thing! I know its a generic humanoid figure, but still I have found it quite interesting. – Reddit.com
A man has been fined for pretending to be a ghost and other rowdy behaviour in a cemetery.
Anthony Stallard pleaded guilty at Portsmouth magistrates court to using threatening or abusive words or behaviour likely to cause distress.
The court heard that the 24-year-old had been out drinking with friends when they went to Kingston cemetery in Portsmouth, where they started to play football.
A Hampshire police spokesman said that witnesses complained to police about Stallard’s rowdy behaviour and his pretending to be a ghost.
“The witnesses reported the group engaging in rowdy behaviour and one of them throwing their arms in the air and saying ‘woooooo’,” he said.
Stallard, of Southsea, Hampshire, was fined £35 and ordered to pay a £20 victim surcharge and £20 in costs.
He also had an extra three months added to a conditional charge for previous harassment which he was found to be in breach of, according to a Crown Prosecution Service spokeswoman.
A charge of causing criminal damage to gravestones was dismissed. – forwarded by reader
A New Jersey witness at Mercerville who is retired law enforcement reported watching a sphere-shaped UFO that appeared to move toward ground level, according to August 7, 2014, testimony in Case 58710 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was outside standing on a deck about 8:50 p.m. on August 3, 2014, when the object was first seen.
“I observed out of my top peripheral vision a large bright, white sphere that suddenly appeared at an elevation estimated to be 75 degrees,” the witness stated. “This object was in the northwest sky about 15 degrees to the left of 90 degrees straight overhead when first seen.”
The witness described the object’s size and flight.
“It was about the size of one-quarter inch to five-sixteenth inch in diameter at arm’s length. It had a downward slope to it slightly toward the north of about 10 degrees. This sphere, perfectly round, was a very, very bright, white object in color. The size, shape and color did not vary throughout my observation.”
The object did not appear to be a meteor.
“There was no trail, no tail, no burning of the material leaving any combustion or debris field behind it.”
The object was quickly obscured by trees.

“The object was observed in the open sky for one second, and then it was partially obscured by a tall tree in my yard for the remainder of the event. What stands out in my mind is how the object flew beyond the branches and leaves of the 50-foot-tall tree covering about 60 degrees of the observable field of view to the northwest and was so easily seen within the tree due to the magnitude of the light it emitted.”
The witness lost view of the object.
“There was a second tree behind mine that was farther away and the object did not go below the canopy of the latter. There was still another 5 degrees of sky to observe below the tree line if the object continued downward to the ground along the same flight path. I lost view of it midway in my tree. I estimate that to be approximately 40-degrees elevation.”
The witness first thought the object might be a meteor.
“I have seen hundreds of meteors and many comets in my lifetime. I tried to play this off and forget about it. There were no other observable aircraft or stars in the sky at the time. This object moved slower than a meteor and shared no heating up characteristics like a body moving into the atmosphere.”
The witness also looked into weather data for the location and time.
“There were no stars visible. I thought about this one for some time because it didn’t make rational sense. I researched the weather data for the date and time I made this observation at Wunderground.com. On that evening there was overcast around 2,600 feet. This object appeared at a relatively low altitude below the cloud cover.”
The witness is retired law enforcement and has seen meteors and other natural objects in the sky before and believes this is something different. Pictured: Mercerville, New Jersey. (Credit: Google)
Mercerville is located in Mercer County, NJ, population 13,230. New Jersey MUFON is investigating. New Jersey has a current UFO Alert Rating of 4 with a higher than average number of recent reports nationally. New Jersey had 24 UFO reports in July 2014 – the 11th highest reporting state – while California had 104 reports as the highest reporting state. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels – 1 through 5 – where states with 150 or more reports for the month are rated an Alert 1; states with 100 or more reports are rated an Alert 2; 25 reports or more for the month are rated an Alert 3; 13 or more reports are rated an Alert 4; and those states with less than 13 reports for the month are an Alert 5.
Open Minds UFO Radio: Marc D’Antonio is the chief photo and video analyst for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). Marc has been involved with MUFON since 1971 and has a vast amount of experience investigating UFO cases. He is also the owner of FX Models where they work on CGI and physical models for the entertainment industry as well as defense contractors among others. It was in this line of work that Marc began working with motion picture special effects guru Doug Trumbull, who it turns out also has an interest in UFOs. We get an update from Marc on a project he and Trumbull are working on called UFOTOG. This project intends to build units that scan the sky with cameras and other sensors to gather large amounts of data, beside just pictures or video, during UFO sightings. We also talked to Marc about his recent appearances on several UFO related television programs.
One of the most elaborate UFO pranks ever staged was on April Fools’ Day in 1989 over London. Virgin, the famous venture capitalist conglomerate, is known for its April foolery, and the mastermind behind their pranks is Virgin’s founder Sir Richard Branson.
The mission to fly a UFO over London began as a top secret project code named “Project Wedgewood.” Cameron Balloons Limited in the town of Bristol, a bit less than 2 hours from London by car, was commissioned to build a massive UFO hot air balloon fully kitted out with strobe lights.

As to what happened next, Branson detailed the execution of the prank in a blog on World UFO Day (July 2) in 2013. Branson says they took off in the balloon at approximately 4 am, the strobe lights blinking every 10 seconds. By the time the first light of dusk could be seen they had reached the M25, a major motorway leading into London.
Branson writes, “We could see every single vehicle grinding to a halt and hundreds of people looking up at the UFO flying over them.”

Newspapers said that Branson and his UFO were blown off target. The plan was to land in London’s Hyde Park, instead Branson had to set the UFO down in Surrey Field. Branson says they hadn’t realized the extent of the commotion their stunt was creating while they were in the air. The police and army had been alerted to their presence, and radio and TV stations were reporting the UFO over London.

When the balloon set down Branson says they were surrounded by police. The police appeared a bit hesitant to approach the strange aircraft. Branson says they “sent one lone policeman with his truncheon across the field to greet the alien.”
He continued, “The UFO’s door opened very slowly, with tonnes of dry ice billowing from it. A dwarf that we had carried on board, dressed in an ET outfit, walked down the platform towards the bobby. He promptly turned and ran in the opposite direction!”

Sir Branson of course thought this prank was pretty funny, but the police were not amused, at least not at first. Branson says, “The police initially didn’t see the funny side of it and threatened to arrest us for wasting their time. But they soon joined in the general merriment of it.”
Branson says, “Every April Fools Day we love to come up with a major fun prank that pulls peoples legs and makes them smile.”
This year, Virgin has conspired with the climate control company Nest for their April Fools’ Day fun. Branson, along with Nest CEO Tony Fadell, introduce an incredible new personal climate control feature on Virgin America airlines in the promotional video below. Although, if it sounds too good to be true, it is because, unfortunately, it is.
There are some unsettling conclusions reached by abduction researchers that are rarely mentioned in mainstream UFO reporting. Abduction researchers suggest, often based on decades of research, that there may be more going on with most UFO witnesses than simply seeing something unusual in the sky.
There is a wide continuum of what gets reported as a UFO. At one end of this spectrum are tiny dots of light making odd motions way off in the distance, but the source could be something perfectly terrestrial. On the other end of that same spectrum would be a close up sighting of a silvery flying saucer hovering silently just above the swing set in the back yard; which would be very difficult to dismiss as anything other than unknown.
David Marler
Author and researcher David Marler has been calling the more noteworthy sightings unambiguous UFOs. This implies something well beyond the tiny dots that make up the majority of the sightings reports.
Marler says, “I came up with the term unambiguous UFOs to separate descriptions of large, low-flying, structured aerial objects from the ubiquitous and ambiguous light in the sky UFO reports. I believe there is a huge distinction between the two that demands clarification.”
The late researcher Elaine Douglass collected UFO reports for MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) for more than a quarter century. When conducting an investigation she would ask the witnesses the standard set of questions for any sighting, what time, how big, and so on. She would then do a follow up interview with deeper, more personal questions, asking them to describe any unusual personal events. This simply involved asking: “So, what else, in your whole life, has ever happened to you that you cannot explain?” More often than not, a big story would emerge. She would hear the unusual events that would imply some sort of direct contact experiences. What she concluded was that over half the people who see UFOs are abductees.

This may seem like a bold statement, but it’s very similar to what other investigators have concluded. Pioneering abduction researcher Budd Hopkins spoke openly that if someone sees a UFO they are most probably either seeing it arrive or leave, and there has been a missing time event covering an abduction. Hopkins has publicly speculated that there are probably more abductions than there are UFO sightings.
Abduction researcher Dr. David Jacobs said, “There is a reason for those UFOs in the sky, the phenomenon is far less random than we had once assumed. If people are seeing UFOs they are quite probably abductees.”
When I asked Jacobs what percentage of people who are seeing unambiguous UFOs are actually abductees, he replied, “The majority.” We discussed this and he seemed comfortable with the term majority, but he felt this was conservative and the real percentage might be much higher.

Abduction researcher and hypnotherapist Yvonne Smith was asked this same question, What percentage of people who are reporting an unambiguous UFO sighting are actually abductees? She, like most everyone I’ve asked, felt it was impossible to come up with an actual percentage, but was quick to say the majority. She said, “Many of the close-up sightings will have clues that this was a probable contact experience, things like distorted or missing time, or a car engine sputtering and mysteriously stopping.”
Smith noted that someone who has seen a UFO sighting might experience nightmares, vivid dreams or recurring flashbacks in the weeks or months afterwords. She feels it is vital that any witness have access to a qualified therapist if any distressing memories emerge. Both Cero International on the West Coast and Starborn Support on the East coast could recommend resources for anyone seeking help.
When abduction researcher Kathleen Marden was asked the same question, she said she had no way of knowing what that percentage might be. But she did say, “I can tell you that 67% of the participants in the2012 Marden-Stoner Commonalities Study stated that they consciously recalled (not with hypnosis), the observation of an unconventional craft at less than 1000 feet prior to an abduction.”
Kathleen Marden
This statistic can’t be seen as an indication of a percentage of whether or not a close encounter witnesses may have been abducted, but it is interesting. Marden also added that from her research, she feels anyone with more than one close up sighting of a craft has most probably had some sort of an abduction experience.
Joe Montaldo
Joe Montaldo is both a contactee and an abduction researcher. He runs an organization called ICAR (International Community for Alien Research) with a focus on the abduction phenomenon. Montaldo states that almost all UFO sightings are meant to be trigger memories, which are designed to let the witness know something happened.
Montaldo says, “ET never has to show himself to anybody. There is no need to ever let anyone see a craft, ever,” implying that their technology is so advanced that making their craft invisible is effortless, so if anyone actually sees a UFO it is because they want to be seen for a reason.
Montaldo went on to say, “I don’t think you can see a UFO if you’re not a contactee. Once you’ve been exposed to their telepathic fields or whatever they are, that’s how you can see them. It may not be easy [or possible] for us, but it’s easy for them.”
When asked to give a percentage of how many people who see a UFO are actually abductees, Joe said, “I’d put it at 100 percent”
Roger Marsh
Roger Marsh, Director of Communication for MUFON and also editor of their monthly journal, has been compiling and documenting UFO sighting reports gleaned from the MUFON Case Management System, which is an extensive database of witness reports. He also writes about UFOs for The Huffington Post, The Examiner and Open Minds.
When I asked Marsh this same question, “Off the top of my head, of the really good cases, I would say that maybe five percent of these would imply some sort of abduction event.” He went on to say he was judging these accounts by the written testimony of witnesses, where you sometimes get a clue like missing time within the reports. This is a much more conservative number than Montaldo’s sweeping 100 percent, but it is telling none the less. It should be noted that Marsh is not an abduction researcher like the other folks quoted here, he considers himself a UFO journalist instead.
What seems to be emerging, and this would be very difficult to quantify, is that the closer the UFO to the witness, the more likely an abduction event has occurred. The implication being that many, if not most UFO sightings have a buried abduction component.
In the Peruvian Desert, about 200 miles south of Lima, there lies a plain between the Inca and Nazca (sometimes also spelled Nasca ) Valleys.Across this plain, in an area measuring 37 miles long and 1-mile wide, is an assortment of perfectly-straight lines, many running parallel, others intersecting, forming a grand geometric form. In and around the lines there are also trapezoidal zones, strange symbols, and pictures of birds and beasts all etched on a giant scale that can only be appreciated from the sky.

Discovery and Meaning
Though discovered by Peruvian archaeologist Toribio Mejia Xesspe who spotted them while hiking through the surrounding foothills in 1927, the forms are so difficult to see from the ground that they were not widely known until the 1930′s when aircraft spotted them while surveying for water. The plain, crisscrossed, by these giant lines with many forming rectangles, has a striking resemblance to a modern airport. The Swiss writer, Erich von Daniken , even suggested they had been built for the convenience of ancient visitors from space to land their ships. As tempting as it might be to subscribe to this theory, the desert floor at Nazca is soft earth and loose stone, not tarmac, and would not support the landing wheels of either an aircraft or a flying saucer.
So why are the lines there? The American explorer Paul Kosok, who made his first visit to Nazca in the 1940s, suggested that the lines were astronomically significant and that the plain acted as a giant observatory. He called them “the largest astronomy book in the world.” Gerald Hawkins, an American astronomer, tested this theory in 1968 by feeding the position of a sample of lines into a computer and having a program calculate how many lines coincided with an important astronomical event. Hawkins showed the number of lines that were astronomically significant were only about the same number that would be the result of pure chance. This makes it seem unlikely Nazca is an observatory.
The Nasca lines were created by clearing the darkened pampa stones to either side and exposing the lighter sand underneath. (Photo courtesy of Michael J. Way. Copyright Michael J. Way)
Perhaps the best theory for the lines and symbols belongs to Tony Morrison, the English explorer. By researching the old folk ways of the people of the Andes mountains, Morrison discovered a tradition of wayside shrines linked by straight pathways. The faithful would move from shrine to shrine praying and meditating. Often the shrine was as simple as a small pile of stones. Morrison suggests that the lines at Nazca were similar in purpose and on a vast scale. The symbols may have also served as special enclosures for religious ceremonies.
Construction of the Lines
How were they built? The lines were apparently made by brushing away the reddish, iron oxide covered pebbles that compose the desert surface and uncovering the white colored sand underneath. In most places wind, rain and erosion would quickly remove all traces of this within a few years. At Nazca, though, the lines have been preserved because it is such a windless, dry and isolated location.
A writer by the name of Jim Woodman believes that the lines and figures could not have been made without somebody in the air to direct the operations. ”You simply can’t see anything from ground level,” states Woodman.”You can’t appreciate any of it from anywhere except from above. You can’t tell me the Nazca builders would have gone to the monumental efforts they did without ever being able to see it.”
Woodman has proposed that ancient hot-air balloons were used to get an aerial view of the construction. To prove his hypothesis, Woodman constructed a balloon using materials that would have been available to the Nazca people. He was able to conduct a successful flight, though it only lasted two minutes.

Most researchers are extremely skeptical of Woodman’s conclusions, however, as they find little evidence in the remains left by the Nazca of any balloon construction or operation.
It is more likely that the Nazca people used simple surveying techniques in their work. Straight lines can be made easily for great distances with simple tools.Two wooden stakes placed as a straight line would be used to guide the placement of a third stake along the line. One person would sight along the first two stakes and instruct a second person in the placement of the new stake.This could be repeated as many times as needed to make an almost perfectly-straight line miles in length.Evidence that the line makers used this technique exists in the form of the remains of a few stakes found at the ends of some of the lines.
The symbols were probably made by drawing the desired figure at some reasonable size, then using a grid system to divide it up. The symbol could then be redrawn at full scale by recreating the grid on the ground and working on each individual square one at a time.
Related to Water?
Recently two researchers, David Johnson and Steve Mabee, have advanced a theory that the geoglyphs may be related to water. The Nazca plain is one of the driest places on Earth, getting less than one inch of rain a year. Johnson, while looking for sources of water in the region, noticed that ancient aqueducts, called puquios, seemed to be connected with some of the lines.Johnson thinks that the shapes may be a giant map of the underground water sources traced on the land. Mabee is working to gather evidence that might confirm this theory.
Other scientists are more skeptical, but admit that in a region where finding water was vital to survival, there might well be some connection between the ceremonial purpose of the lines and water.Johan Reinhard, a cultural anthropologist with the National Geographic Society, found that villagers in Bolivia walk along a straight pathway to shrines while praying and dancing for rain.Something similar may have been done at the ancient Nazca lines.
Human Sacrifice
A recently discovered headless body suggests that human sacrifice was used by the Nazca people in religion ceremonies. ”Human sacrifice and decapitation were part of powerful rituals that would have allayed fears by invoking the ancestors to ensure fertility and the continuation of Nasca society,” wrote Christina Conlee of Texas State University in an article in Current Anthropology. ”The decapitation of the La Tiza individual appears to have been part of a ritual associated with ensuring agricultural fertility and the continuation of life and rebirth of the community.” The body is one of eight found in the Nazca area, buried seated with no head. A ceramic jar painted with an image of a head was found next to the remains. The head on the jar has a tree with eyes growing out of it, making it seem likely that the sacrifice was part of a fertility ceremony.
What was done with the heads of the victims? The Nazca were known to collect “Trophy Heads.” The Nazca removed the brain and soft tissue from the skulls, sewed the lips closed with cactus spines and drilled a hole through the forehead to accommodate a loop of woven rope. The heads were then hung on the ropes for display. Originally these were considered to be war trophies collected from distant tribes, but recent DNA analysis shows that the heads came from the Nazca population itself, suggesting that the motive was religious in nature.
Other South American Lines and Figures
The lines at Nazca aren’t the only landscape figures South America boasts. About 850 miles south of the plain is the largest human figure in the world laid out upon the side of Solitary Mountain in Chile. The Giant of Atacama stands 393 feet high and is surrounded by lines similar to those at Nazca.
Along the Pacific Coast in the foothills of the Andes Mountains is etched a figure resembling a giant candelabrum. Further south, Sierra Pintada, which means “the painted mountain” in Spanish, is covered with vast pictures including spirals, circles, warriors and a condor.Archaeologists speculate that these figures, clearly visible from the ground, served as guideposts for Inca traders.

Wetenschapper ontslagen nadat hij '4000 jaar oud dinosaurusfossiel' ontdekt
Wetenschapper ontslagen ‘nadat hij 4000 jaar oud dinosaurusfossiel ontdekt’
Mark Armitage, tot voor kort verbonden aan de California State University, werd pas ontslagen nadat hij een dinosaurusfossiel met zacht, flexibel weefsel had opgegraven. Uit het weefsel, dat nog niet was gefossiliseerd, maakte Armitage op dat het fossiel niet miljoenen jaren oud kon zijn.
Met 30 jaar ervaring is Armitage een expert in zijn vakgebied. Hij heeft in de loop der jaren vele studies gepubliceerd in toonaangevende tijdschriften. In 2012 ontdekte hij een hoorn van een Triceratops in de Hell Creek-formatie in Montana. Het is de vindplaats van fossielen van wereldberoemde dinosaurussen, zoals Tyrannosarus, Ankylosaurus en Triceratops.
Armitage klaagt de universiteit aan omdat hij vindt dat hij onterecht is ontslagen. De ontdekking kwam voor sommige professoren en studenten als een verrassing. “Dit wijst erop dat dinosauriërs duizenden jaren geleden nog over de aarde zwierven en niet 60 miljoen jaar geleden zijn uitgestorven,” zo stond in een persverklaring. De paleontoloog meent dat de botten van de Triceratops slechts 4000 jaar oud zijn.
Nadat Armitage het dinosaurusfossiel aan zijn studenten had laten zien, werd hij op het matje geroepen. Er werd gezegd dat de universiteit zijn religieuze denkbeelden niet zou tolereren. In eerste instantie kreeg Armitage van de faculteit biologie te horen dat het een geïsoleerd incident betrof en dat zijn zienswijze zou worden gerespecteerd.
Twee weken na de publicatie van zijn bevindingen over de Triceratops-hoorn in het tijdschrift Acta Histochemica, kreeg Armitage te horen dat er geen geld meer was om zijn werk voort te zetten. Een woordvoerster van de universiteit wilde geen commentaar geven op de kwestie.
De ontdekking van Armitage lijkt in strijd te zijn met de evolutietheorie, die al decennialang wordt omarmd door de universiteit. “Het ontslaan van een werknemer op basis van zijn religieuze overtuigingen is ongepast en illegaal,” zei Brad Dacus, voorzitter van advocatenkantoor Pacific Justice Institute, in een verklaring. “Het is nog alarmerender als dit gebeurt om iemand de mond te snoeren.”
Paleontoloog Mary Schweitzer van de North Carolina State University vermoedt dat het zachte weefsel bewaard is gebleven dankzij ijzer in het bloed van de dinosaurus. Samen met collega’s trof ze zacht weefsel aan in een gefossiliseerd been van een Tyrannosaurus rex. Ze ontdekte dat ijzer een soortgelijk effect kan hebben als formaldehyde, een chemische stof die wordt gebruikt bij balseming.
Anderen zeggen dat uit koolstofdatering blijkt dat een aantal dinosaurusfossielen die in de VS zijn gevonden hooguit 39.000 jaar oud zijn. “Dit is een indicatie dat de conventionele wijsheid over dinosauriërs niet klopt,” aldus New Geology.
This is a alien sighting and abduction story seen in the archives of The Daily Gazette. It goes back a while but it seems that the person involved, Richard L.Price, would still like to find out who the creatures were that abducted him when a child and implanted a strange object inside him.
Price said, “I’ve felt over the years, that they’ve been with me – that they’re with me all the time.”
This is his story:
When he was eight years old he and a friend were walking near the railroad tracks in Troy. On hearing a noise, which sounded similar to a train approaching, they headed into a wooded area. The friend decided to turn back so Price was then alone.
He continued walking near a cemetery and a covered bridge. This is where the encounter happened.
At first he was scared. He said, “When I got a look at them, I turned and ran. Then all of a sudden, as if they did something to me, I stopped and wasn’t afraid any more.”
The aliens communicated with him, “You are coming with us.”
They took him to their spacecraft. It was an oval shape with six sides on top and on the bottom. There were pedestals coming out of the bottom for landing, similar to those seen in old science fiction stories.
He described the aliens as being between 4 and 5 feet tall with grey-pink complexions and they wore suits of red and blue together with helmets.
Price was taken into the craft and shown what he describes as a movie, only it felt to him as if he was part of the film. Amongst other things the movie showed a battle in space, where another craft was blown up by using beams of light which the spaceships were aiming at each other.
He was then taken into another room and had to remove all of his clothes for an examination. A scanning like device was used over his body. At one point the scanner stopped and burned his leg but he didn’t feel any pain. Another instrument was passed over his leg and it was healed straight away.
Next came his implant. A hand held instrument was used to implant a tiny object under the skin of his penis. He was told not to tamper with it. He was then released to go home.
He didn’t tell anyone about what had happened.
As he got older and attended High School, however, he mentioned what had happened to a girlfriend. His encounter and the story soon spread around his classmates.
The news also got out to his parents and other adults and Price was sent for psychological tests and was confined to a psychiatric hospital for three months. He was only released when he told the doctors he had made up the story. This was the only way they would free him.
In the early 1980s Price saw a physician, Neal Rzepkowski, who confirmed there was an object under the skin of Price’s penis, that did not belong there. Rzepkowski told him not to disturb it as it wasn’t infected or causing him discomfort.
The physician told The Daily Gazette, “… He appears normal. Who knows? It might be true.”
In 1989, however, the implanted object suddenly popped out. Price said he was scared, “I thought I was a goner. I thought I was going to die.” He had somehow convinced himself that the implanted object had kept him healthy.
He claims he looked at the item through a magnifying glass and saw something crawl away from it, and is convinced it was an alien bug.
As for the object itself an identified physicist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology was given half but has yet to identify it. All the physicist would tell the Gazette was that the object was made up of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen and was therefore organic or biological.
The 1966 Westall UFO incident is hailed by some as one of the best mass UFO sightings of the modern UFO era. But recently discovered government documents have some suspecting that the UFO was actually a government research balloon.
The incident occurred on the morning of April 6, 1966 in the Australian suburb of Clayton South in Melbourne near Westall High School. Hundreds of students, staff, and nearby residents watched the strange object hover, land, and quickly fly away. Witnesses describe the craft as a silver or grey shining object shaped like a flying saucer or “a cup turned upside down on a saucer.” The UFO was reportedly accompanied by five light aircraft. According to the witnesses, the incident lasted twenty minutes.

Some report that men in uniforms arrived at the location of the craft’s landing, removing extensive soil samples. Some witnesses even claim that these unidentified men in uniforms scorched the landing area to eliminate any potential evidence of the UFO’s presence. And The Dandenong Journal reported that “students and staff have been instructed to ‘talk to no-one’ about the incident.”
Witnesses were, and still are, adamant that what they observed was absolutely not a light aircraft or a weather balloon. But, based on recently uncovered documents, some believe a balloon is actually the culprit.
Unexplained phenomenon researcher Keith Basterfield believes a rogue balloon from the HIBAL (high altitude balloon) project is the likely explanation for the Westall UFO. And, more specifically, he thinks it was HIBAL flight 292. The HIBAL project was reportedly a joint US-Australian initiative between 1960 and 1969 to monitor atmospheric radiation levels. The project accomplished this by using large silver balloons with payloads of sophisticated sensors. Basterfield formulated his hypothesis after reviewing all available documentation, including what he unearthed with Freedom of Information searches.
A high-altitude balloon being launched from the Roswell air field in 1967.
The Herald Sun explains, “Documents held by the National Archives and former Department of Supply indicate one test balloon launched from Mildura may have been blown off course and came down in Clayton South in a paddock near Westall High School, alarming and baffling hundreds of eyewitnesses, including teachers and students.” The Herald Sun points out that, despite government records of several HIBAL test flights, “the paperwork for the launches scheduled for the day before Westall appear to have been lost or destroyed.” Basterfield comments, “What is strikingly missing is a memo reporting on the actual four launches for April 1966, one of which was scheduled for 5 April 1966, the day before Westall . . . So we have no (official) knowledge of where flight 292 went.”
Despite claims of discovered government documents, many, including those who witnessed the UFO in 1966, are sure to find the HIBAL hypothesis hard to swallow.
The 1966Westall UFO incident was recently commemorated with a a $150,000 UFO-themed playground that features a nearly eleven-foot-high, large, silver flying saucer that can accommodate up to seven children. It is trimmed with blue LED lights and is loosely based on what witnesses saw in 1966.
When a UFO video seems too good to be true — is it?
We’ve pointed out many times how difficult it is to identify hoaxes among UFO photos and videos, and computer technology has just added to the confusion. With the right app or Photoshop elements, even youngsters can create and post real-looking, out-of-this-world UFOs to YouTube faster than you can say, “ET, phone home.” But the footage doesn’t always hold up under expert scrutiny.
Consider this recent example: A triangular UFO was reportedly videotaped over Kassel, Germany, on June 26 by a man who was taping his son playing in a park, reports the International Business Times.
“The fact that the person blurred out the face of the kid and didn’t get the UFO in the dead center of the video is what causes me to believe this is real,” he said. “Also, the lighting and shading on the UFO matches that of the trees and the bars of [the] jungle gym.”
But is that analysis enough to give this UFO the seal of approval? Other experts say no.
“There are two giveaway segments” that show the UFO is computer-generated, saidMarc Dantonio, chief photo and video analyst for the Mutual UFO Network. “As the object is first seen, you notice that the cameraman shifts the camera up and down a bit. The object should not be affected by this motion at all.”
Dantonio, who was featured on last month’s Syfy Channel documentary, “Aliens on the Moon: The Truth Exposed,” told The Huffington Post in an email that the triangular object in this Germany video should appear to move smoothly through the sky. “Its path, however, indicates anything but. As the camera moves, the object shifts in the sky in direct correlation to the movements of the camera.
“This shows me that this is a CG composition where the UFO flying in the sky was poorly tracked with ground objects. This happens several times,” Dantonio wrote.
The cracks in the facade don’t end there.
“It walks like a duck, it talks like a duck, but it’s not a duck,” says former FBI special agent Ben Hansen.
“The video incorporates the image of a classic triangle UFO, which witnesses often report as silently floating across the sky. The videographer got that part right. However, there are several major red flags that tell me this was a hoax,” Hansen told HuffPost in an email.
“Although witnesses’ reactions can vary greatly when seeing a shocking UFO event, this man appears extremely underwhelmed. I would expect a little more enthusiasm or effort to try and follow the craft when it emerges behind the trees. If he made efforts to follow it, I’d like to see that. We’re led to believe that he puts down the camera and casually strolls away.”
Hansen agrees with Dantonio that the video is most likely the product of CGI (computer-generated imagery).
“As much time as was spent on getting the movement of the UFO right, the editor was a little lazy on the details of what we call ‘rotoscoping,’” Hansen said, describing what is probably the final blow to the video’s authenticity. “Going frame by frame — to tell the software program which objects the UFO needed to pass behind — it appears they got a little sloppy.
Hansen explains that he magnified and lightened the image, shown below, and it “shows the corner of the UFO accidentally overlapping in front of the playground structure when it was supposed to be passing behind.”
When it comes to UFO videos, you can’t always believe what you think you’re seeing.
CNN reports that the Eiler Fire raging about 200 miles north of Sacramento came within a mile of the SETI Institute's Allen Telescope Array in Hat Creek on Tuesday, forcing staffers "to evacuate and temporarily shut down all of their computers, Internet, and power" for several hours.
"We can't listen when all that is down," Seth Shostak, senior astronomer and director at SETI (or "Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence"), told CNN. "The fire on the west had jumped the road, burnt down our favorite lunch place, got within a mile of the telescopes."
The Allen Telescope Array, funded by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, includes 42 antennas designed to listen for extraterrestrial activity "at centimeter wavelengths.
Shostak, though, downplayed the possibility that they missed an E.T. discovery.
"We just lost some search hours," he said. "To expect that E.T. will somehow reach out at this moment, that would be very bizarre."
Power was later restored but SETI staffers "were not been able to communicate with the antennas," Shostak wrote on the institute's blog late Tuesday. He expects the array to be back up and running by Thursday.

At around 09:30 UTC this morning, the Rosetta spacecraft completed its decade-long trek throughout the solar system as it finally reached its intended target of Comet 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The spacecraft will orbit the comet as it makes its way into the inner solar system, studying how the nucleus is affected by the heat of the Sun.
The comet is currently about 450 million kilometers (251 million miles) from Earth and is currently headed toward the inner solar system as part of its 6.45-year-long orbit. The orbit extends past Jupiter and comes roughly halfway between the orbits of Mars and Earth. Rosetta is currently studying the comet, trying to find the best place for the lander when it launches in November.
If you want to keep track of Rosetta throughout its journey and see how it has been navigating the solar system for the last decade, ESA has an interactive website that will show the past, present, and future position of the spacecraft.

The new film “Earth to Echo” — which follows a group of kids on a fictional journey to help save a small alien robot — might have a bit of extraterrestrial truth at its core, one alien-hunting astronomer says.
As it turns out, writer Henry Gayden’s (“Zombie Roadkill,” the upcoming “Children of the Lamp”) depiction of a small, owl-like alien robot might be a more likely candidate for first contact than most people would expect, said Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer at the seti Institute in Mountain View, California. Given the dynamics of interstellar travel, robots make sense, he said.
“Just about the time that you develop enough science or tech to fly to other planets and other stars… you begin to develop faster computers,” Shostak told Space.com. “If you believe the people working on artificial intelligence — they think we will have thinking machines by midcentury. That is just decades away.”
I am sharing this story because it is popular amongst the reptilian haters. Just like humans if a human rapes it doesn’t mean every human rapes. Same with beings such as Reptilians. Reptilians are the new Jews to hate on in the space cult whacko truther sections of the scene. So I am sharing for discussion not to condemn an entire species but to definitely condemn the actions of an evil reptilian if this story is true. I know for a fact good Reptilians exist. So don’t always buy the hype but this is something to think on regardless of your feelings for the reptilians. Some maybe of the light and others of a more demonic nature.

From: ALIEN ABDUCTIONS IN THE GINGERBREAD HOUSE by Dr. Karla Turner
A man in his late 40′s came to us to explore several alien- related events in his life, and in the interview he told of a strange, although not apparently alien-oriented, episode that had haunted him since childhood. When he was ten years old, his grandmother came to visit in his home, and since the house was small, she shared his bed on the first night of her visit.
During the night, the boy was awakened by a loud male voice. He couldn’t understand what the voice was saying, but it sounded angry and was addressing the grandmother lying beside him. The next morning, he asked his grandmother, “What was that voice in the bedroom last night?”
His grandmother, with tears in her eyes, pulled him tightly to her and said “That was the devil.” She said nothing more about the episode, but she did insist that her son take her back to her own home immediately. It was an un reasonable request, and her son tried to talk her out of it. But the grandmother was adamant, and finally her son agreed to take her home the following day.
The entire family made the trip of over a hundred miles back to the grandmother’s farm, and within an hour of their arrival, the grandmother suffered a massive stroke and died. Ever since that event, the man had felt a heavy burden of guilt associated with his grandmother’s death. Yet there was no conscious reason for him to have felt that way. The entire event was poignant and mystifying, but in all the alien encounters he had subsequently undergone, he had felt that the aliens were his friends and were helping him by expanding his psychic abilities.
A regression session was arranged, and in the course of the hypnosis, he was asked to look at that childhood experience. What he recalled was an abduction in which he and his grandmother were taken to a spacecraft in the company of reptilian aliens. He remembered the aliens telling his grandmother that they were interested in learning about her knowledge of medicinal herbs. And they offered to exchange medical information of their own. They gave the boy and the grandmother a liquid to drink, explaining that it was beneficial and would make the grandmother feel young and attractive again. So both of them drank the liquid, and the man remembered seeing his grandmother indeed looking much younger. That was the extent of his recollection.
Both he and Ms. Bartholic, who was conducting the regression, were puzzled by this, because there was nothing in the episode to account for the guilt he had felt about the grandmother’s death. So Ms. Bartholic deepened the man’s trance level and asked him to look at it again, with much clearer vision. And what he then recalled was much more disturbing.
The abduction, at first, followed his initial recollection. But when the liquid was drunk, he now remembered a very strong feeling of change in his body. And he saw that the grandmother didn’t actually look younger. Instead, she was placed on a table and approached by one of the reptilian aliens who wanted to have intercourse with her. The liquid had acted as an aphrodisiac, yet the grandmother resisted and said that since her husband’s death she would not have sex with anyone. The reptilian laughed and disappeared from the room momentarily. When he returned, he was accompanied by a man who looked exactly like the dead husband.
At this point, the grandmother agreed to have sex, but as the act was in progress, she suddenly realized that the image of her dead husband was a cruel illusion. It was actually the reptilian on top of her, and she cried out in great resistance for him to leave her alone. Once he was finished with her, he lifted up the little boy and placed him on top of the grandmother, forcing another sex act upon the both of them. Then the grandmother was removed from the table and the little boy was victimized himself by the reptilian, forced to have anal and oral sex. The grandmother protested violently, pushing the reptilian away from her grandson and interposing her body between them. “By Jesus,” she shouted, “you will not touch this boy!”
That must have been the wrong thing to say, because the reptilian became very angry and threatened her. “You will die for that!” he told her, and the two people were returned to the bedroom from which they’d been taken. The next morning, the grandmother told the little boy that the devil had been there the night before, and that was when she insisted upon being taken home. And, as it turned out, she did die immediately thereafter.
This, then, was the cause of the man’s lifelong sense of guilt about her death. He had been forced to have sex with her, and her death had followed shortly after. But none of this story would have emerged if Ms. Bartholic had done as most investigators do and stopped the regression after uncovering the story about the exchange of medicinal knowledge.
There are other cases in our files that show a similar deception at work in the initial hypnotic recall. We cannot trust that first memory, it is clear, for like so much else in the abduction experience, there may well be further maskings of events.
The National UFO Alert Rating System has been updated for August 2014, with California, Texas, Michigan, Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Washington moving to a UFO Alert 2 or 3 as the highest reporting states during the month of July 2014, filed with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).
California was the leading high-reporting state in July with 104 cases, down from 107 June cases, 102 May cases, 80 April cases, 103 March cases, 59 February cases, and 102 January cases – the single state listed as an Alert 2 with 100 or more cases. The other top reporting states had 25 or more cases and are an Alert 3. They are Texas, Michigan, Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, New York and Washington. Those states in a UFO Alert 4 category with 13 or more reports include: Missouri, Colorado, New Jersey, Illinois, Kentucky, Georgia, Indiana, Oregon, Arizona, Virginia, South Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee.
All other states move to a UFO Alert 5 category with lower numbers of UFO activity. The Watch States – with 10 or more cases – are New Mexico, Wisconsin, Maryland and Nevada.
MUFON released July statistics August 1, where the total number of reported UFO sightings is listed by state. The entire country was moved back to the lowest alert level – UFO Alert 5.
California takes the lead with 104 cases; Texas, 80; Michigan, 36; Florida, 32; Pennsylvania, 30; New York, 29; and Washington, 26.
Those states with 13 or more reports, the next reporting tier level, are a UFO Alert 4 status: Missouri, 24; Colorado, 24; New Jersey, 24; Illinois, 22; Kentucky, 18; Georgia, 17; Indiana, 17; Oregon, 15; Arizona, 14; Virginia, 14; South Carolina, 14; Alabama, 13; and Tennessee, 13.
Our Watch States this month are – with 10 reports or more: New Mexico, 12; Wisconsin, 11; Maryland, 10; and Nevada, 10.
The sphere remains the most-reported UFO shape with 216 cases; up from 156 June cases; 129 May cases; 150 April cases, 131 March cases, 91 February cases; and 240 January cases. Other shape reports include: Circle, 103; Disc, 95; Star-Like, 81; Triangle, 79; Other, 73; Fireball, 72; Oval, 65; Unknown, 61; Cylinder, 25; N/A, 17; Cigar, 15; Diamond, 14; Flash, 12; Boomerang, 12; Blimp, 10; Cone, 7; Egg, 6; Teardrop, 6; Saturn-like, 3; Bullet-Missile, 3; Chevron, 2; and Cross, 1.
The object’s distance from the witness includes: Less than 100 feet, 126 cases; 101 to 500 feet, 133 cases; 501 feet to one mile, 205 cases; over one mile, 1252 cases; unknown, 330; and no value stated, 39.
In addition, there were “27 landings, hoverings, or takeoffs reported and 0 entities observed.”
The most interesting UFO reports do not necessarily come from high reporting states – but those states with higher numbers do account for some of the most interesting evidence to study. While UFO sightings seem to pop up randomly around the country, this list is meant to offer a small insight into where Americans are filing reports.
A Hawaiian witness at Keaau reported watching a silent, bell-shaped UFO with two rows of lights less than 75 yards away, according to August 6, 2014, testimony in Case 58688 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was outside walking a dog about 4:30 a.m. on May 5, 2014, when he first saw two red lights side-by-side near the end of a dirt road and first assumed they were tail lights.
“They bounced in unison and then they bounced up and out of sight,” the witness stated. “While I thought it unusual, I wrote it off as a unique reflection.”
The witness first saw two red lights in the distance that he thought were attached to a vehicle. Pictured: Keaau, Hawaii. (Credit: Google)
The witness points out that he has a background in sky watching.
“I’ve spent a lot of time on Mauna Kea by myself and volunteering to run the telescopes at the Visitor Center. I’ve counted a dozen satellites in one evening. I’ve seen illumination, signal and other types of flares from the military base. I’ve watched the ISS cruise over the mountain. I’ve seen teardrop meteors, moon bows and a sprite. I’ve seen just about everything that would make someone scream UFO. Only twice I’ve seen objects far up in the sky that I couldn’t explain due to its unique movements.”
Then 10 to 15 seconds after he saw the two red lights an object much closer got his attention.
“It was roughly 50 to 75 yards away. It was bell-shaped and lit up with the four aforementioned colors. I didn’t see it land or take off and it made no sound.”
The witnesses’ dog seemed to be unaware of the object.
“When I called my dog’s name it sounded as if I was in a vacuum – as if my voice was extremely loud and originated in front of me.”
The witness described the object.
“It was roughly 15 feet tall and 10 feet across at the base. There were two strips of lights spinning in opposite directions. I could make out the shape but couldn’t make out any features because of the lights. The lights were very plasmatic in nature but the colors were very apparent and didn’t blend.”
The silent object had two strips of lights spinning in opposite directions. Pictured: Keaau, Hawaii. (Credit: Google)
Keaau is in Hawaii County, population 2,010. MUFON Hawaii is investigating. Hawaii has a current UFO Alert Rating of 5 with a low number of recent reports nationally. Hawaii had 3 UFO reports in June 2014 – the 36th highest reporting state – while California had 107 reports as the highest reporting state. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels – 1 through 5 – where states with 150 or more reports for the month are rated an Alert 1; states with 100 or more reports are rated an Alert 2; 25 reports or more for the month are rated an Alert 3; 13 or more reports are rated an Alert 4; and those states with less than 13 reports for the month are an Alert 5.
I was with a friend as we were walking back to a rental cottage in Ocean Grove, NJ around midnight on a Saturday night. It was the Summer of 1964. On a perfectly clear cloudless night, we stopped to gaze at the millions of stars visible near the beach at night. Suddenly our attention went to a single “star” that was moving straight up. Then, it suddenly changed direction and moved straight down. It repeated this a few times. We knew it wasn’t a plane because panes don’t move like that, and as it was a small as a star, too far away to be a plane anyway. Suddenly a vapor trail began to come out of it- we stood as if glued in place. My friend thought it might be a skywriting plane, but I knew it wasn’t because it wasn’t writing anything, skywriters don’t write at night, and it was too far away to be a small plane.
Eventually the vapor trail began to descend. forming a large cloud-like shape. This “cloud” was easily as big as a house- oddly, although we could see the dark night sky through it, we could not see any stars- and we should have been able to see the stars. The rest of the night sky was filled with them. It was as if inside the cloud the stars became invisible. As it got larger, we realized it was getting CLOSER and at that point we heard a strange noise that I can only describe as sounding like hundreds of wheels and gears turning at the same time. The sound jolted us out of our lethargy and we began to run towards home. As we ran, we looked over our shoulders to see the “cloud” following us at about the level of the treetops.
There were NO cars on the street- at that time, Ocean Grove did not allow cars in or on its streets from midnight Saturday to midnight Sunday. They actually had village gates that were locked, and no cars were allowed to be parked on the streets either. No lights seemed to be on in any houses, and at that time Ocean Grove had no shops or stores that would be open at night. NO gas stations. No 7-11 or WaWa. There wasn’t a soul around. We heard the noise as the cloud followed us- we were laughing and crying at the same time. We were only about 2 blocks from the house we were staying at, so we reached the porch before the cloud reached us. We climbed up the stairs, bursting through the front door, waking my friend’s mother and grandmother. Of course, she was upset that we were crying- we told her we had gotten frightened walking home, We went to the room we shared, pulled open the shade and the cloud was right outside the window.
Hysterical by this time, we pulled the shade down and stayed up all night. We vowed never to tell anyone in authority (like police, etc) because no one would believe it wasn’t just two teenage girls who got scared walking home in the dark. To this day we remember it s clearly as the night it happened. We have lost touch over the years, but every once in a while we reconnect and remind each other about that night.

This case is under investigation by Robert Spearing of MUFON New Jersey.
When I posted an article on the Westall UFO incident, I named it ‘Australia’s Roswell.’ Now, almost one year later, a ‘Roswellesque’ report has surfaced in order to explain the event. I first present the most recent article in the Herald Sun…then my post from last year:
Westall ‘UFO’ incident was actually government radiation testing, reports reveal
An almost 50-year-old mystery when more than 200 people believed they had a close encounter with a UFO landing in Clayton may have finally been solved after newly-unearthed government documents revealed a secret radiation-testing program.
Although federal and state government agencies refused to comment about the 1966 ‘Westall’ incident at the time, it is now believed that, rather than a UFO, what landed was an errant high altitude balloon used to monitor radiation levels after the controversial Maralinga nuclear tests.
The HIBAL program was a joint US-Australian initiative to monitor atmospheric radiation levels using large silver balloons equipped with sensors between 1960 and 1969.
Documents held by the National Archives and former Department of Supply indicate one test balloon launched from Mildura may have been blown off course and came down in Clayton South in a paddock near Westall High School, alarming and baffling hundreds of eyewitnesses, including teachers and students.
After hovering over the area, it landed at an area known as The Grange, behind a grove of pine trees, before taking off again and being pursued by several light aircraft in a sighting which lasted 20 minutes from 11am on April 6, 1966.
The event has ever since been shrouded in mystery.
But researcher Keith Basterfield, who has spent years investigating unexplained phenomenon in Australia, said a “runaway” balloon from the HIBAL (high altitude balloon) project was the likely answer.
Each test balloon lifted a 180kg payload consisting of an air sampling and telemetry unit in a gondola and was followed by a light aircraft tasked with tracking it and triggering its 12mtr parachute via radio signal.
Immediately after the Westall “UFO” sighting, reports emerged of Government men in suits converging on the area and asking school officials and other witnesses to not talk about the event.
A contemporary witness reported these “suits” stated what the students saw was part of a secret government exercise and that for national security reasons they were forbidden from discussing it.
“My hypothesis is that the incident involved not a UFO, but a high altitude balloon, it’s parachute and large payload,” Mr Basterfield said.
In a research paper completed this year, Mr Basterfield said a close review of all available documentation, including that searched through Freedom of Information laws, pointed to HIBAL flight number 292 as the real culprit.
“The Westall object was described as being a white/silver colour which could describe the colour of an HIBAL balloon or parachute.”
A witness account prior to the Westall sighting stated a flying object — trailing what appeared to be a long vacuum-like hose — was seen by a couple, whose surname was Frankie, near Smith’s Gully 40km north of Clayton South.
“HIBAL balloons were filled with gas through a thin tube which went to the top of the balloon and was left in place during the balloon flight,” Mr Basterfield said.
He said uncovered documents had also highlighted government concern about the potential damage if a heavy test balloon came down in a suburban area.
“The Department of External Affairs files on HIBAL reveal there was considerable discussion on possible damage to property or personnel by a HIBAL balloon,” Mr Basterfield said.
But despite government archival records showing the results of numerous HIBAL test flights, the paperwork for the launches scheduled for the day before Westall appear to have been lost or destroyed.
“What is strikingly missing is a memo reporting on the actual four launches for April 1966, one of which was scheduled for 5 April 1966, the day before Westall.
“So we have no (official) knowledge of where flight 292 went.” – Herald Sun
Australia’s Roswell: The Day the Earth Stood Still in Clayton South
The Westall UFO Incident
Over 200 students and teachers witnessed an unexplained flying object on Wednesday 6th April 1966 around 11.00 am. They reported it descended into a nearby open wild grass field adjacent to a grove of pine trees in an area known as The Grange. The object then ascended in a north-westerly direction over the suburb of Clayton South.
Shane Ryan is a researcher looking for eyewitnesses. “It happened on the Wednesday before Easter, April 6, 1966, about 11 0’clock in the morning.
Around about 200 people, most of them students at what was then called Westall High School, were out for morning recess”, says Shane. “Many saw the strange object descend behind pine trees in The Grange Reserve, and then later ascend and fly away at great speed.
The people who ran over to the reserve found a huge ring in the paddock where the object had been seen.
Some people reported five light aircraft following or chasing the object. Academic throws light on 40-year-old UFO mystery
Just what did flash out of the sky and into the lives of hundreds that April day? Stephen Cauchi reports.
A Canberra academic is investigating one of Australia’s most compelling UFO mysteries, a sighting by hundreds of people in the Melbourne suburb of Westall on April 6, 1966.
More than 200 students and staff from two schools watched as the object landed in a nearby paddock, lifted off and vanished.
Shane Ryan, an English lecturer at the University of Canberra, is interviewing dozens of witnesses for a book he hopes to publish on the 40th anniversary of the sighting.
Mr Ryan, 38, was alerted to the events in the 1980s by a housemate who was there. Unlike most UFO sightings, the Westall object had a large number of credible witnesses. It was viewed in daylight and attracted a forceful response from police and the RAAF.
“It had these rather interesting elements which indicated to me that, unlike some other so-called UFO stories, there was some substance to this,” he told The Sunday Age.
“I knew the 40th anniversary was coming up next year, so I thought it was timely to do some research on it.”
Mr Ryan has interviewed about 30 witnesses, mostly former staff and students from the Westall secondary and primary schools. He has tried obtaining police and RAAF reports, but so far with little luck. The story was covered then by Channel Nine, The Age and local newspapers.
On the UFO, everyone seems to agree, Mr Ryan says. It was a low-flying, silver/grey shining object, either of classical flying saucer shape or close to it, “a cup turned upside down on a saucer”. The students were familiar with light aircraft because the schools were close to Moorabbin Airport. Although the UFO was of similar size, “everyone said straight away that they knew it was not a plane”, Mr Ryan said, nor a weather balloon.
The object was in view for up to 20 minutes, and many saw it descend. Most agree it landed behind pine trees at the Grange Reserve. Dozens of students ran across what was then an open paddock to the reserve to investigate, but the object had lifted off and vanished.
Other details are sketchier. The UFO appears to have left a circle of scorched grass; others say several circles were left in paddocks bordering Grange Reserve.
Many witnesses, not all, report seeing aircraft, up to five, trailing the UFO. Some say it made no sound, others say it did.
Many reported that police/air force/military personnel inspected the site; some (not all) say the authorities burnt the site. The Dandenong Journal, for which the story was front-page news two weeks in a row, reported that “students and staff have been instructed to ‘talk to no-one’ about the incident”. Nevertheless, one teacher, Andrew Greenwood, gave the paper a detailed account.
“It was silvery-grey and seemed to thicken at times,” he said. “The thickening was similar to when a disc is turned a little to show the underside.”
One of the closest witnesses was a boy whose family leased land at Grange Reserve for horses.
Shaun Matthews (not a student at Westall) was on holidays and spending time on the land.
“I saw the thing come across the horizon and drop down behind the pine trees,” he told The Sunday Age this week. “I couldn’t tell you what it was. It certainly wasn’t a light aircraft or anything of the like …
“I saw the thing drop down behind the pine trees and saw it leave again. I couldn’t tell you how long it was there for, it was such a long time ago.”
Mr Matthews, 51 and now living in Greenvale, said the object “went up and off very very rapidly”.
“I went over and there was a circle in the clearing. It looked like it had been cooked or boiled, not burnt as I remember,” he said. “A heap of kids from Westall primary and high school came charging through to see what had happened — ‘look at this, look at that, we saw it as well’, that sort of thing. It was a bit of a talking point for a couple of days.”
Mr Matthews said the object, about the size of “two family cars”, passed him at a distance of about “four football fields”. “It was silvery, but it had a sort-of purple hue to it, very bright, but not bright enough that you couldn’t look at it,” he said.
“I saw that it dropped down behind the trees, and I thought, ‘hello, hang on’. A minute or so later, it went straight up, just gone.”
He said police and other officials interviewed his mother. But he cannot remember them burning the landing site, as others have alleged. And he did not see any light aircraft trailing the object, as others did.
“The way this thing moved there is no way it could have been a weather balloon or a light aircraft,” he said.
A helicopter? No way — no noise, wrong shape, and it didn’t move like it. It came out of the distance, stopped, and then just dropped.
“It didn’t just sort of cruise and then slightly descend at an angle. It just stopped, dropped, and then went straight up.”
The Victorian UFO Research Society investigated the incident. VUFORS secretary Tony Cook said Westall remained one of Australia’s major unexplained UFO cases.
The top one was the case of Frederick Valentich, a 20-year-old Melbourne pilot whose light plane disappeared while flying over Bass Strait in 1978.
In the last minutes of radio communication, Valentich reported seeing a UFO hovering above his plane. He and his craft were never recovered.
“It’s pretty well documented,” Mr Cook said. “That’s probably the most important one because it involves the disappearance of a person.”
Mr Cook said the society’s stance on UFOs was that, “there are people out there seeing unusual things in the sky at times and they can’t be explained. But it’s a very big leap to go from unexplained things in the sky to extraterrestrials.”
Most witnesses, including Mr Matthews, say the UFO was not an aircraft or helicopter. But Westall is only six kilometres from Moorabbin Airport, and the object was roughly headed in that direction, travelling north to south.
“It sounds to me like some sort of experimental craft, very much Earth-based,” Steve Roberts, of Australian Skeptics, said.
“It is an interesting event with lots of witnesses and what we now call a crop circle.
“Accounts are confused. Some have the object landing and taking off again, others say ‘a paddock over which the object seemed to hover’.”
As well, “if there was a whole swag of officials investigating it, there must be an official report in RAAF archives somewhere”.
But Mr Ryan said that no one at the RAAF knew of the incident.
But given the history of the case — the way students and staff were told to keep quiet from the start — that was not surprising, he said.
“As I got a little bit older, I got a little more interested in the social and historical aspects of the story, how something like this could have happened and how it reflected society at the time, and how authorities responded to it,” he said.
“There’s been a layer of secrecy that was very, very prominent in this story from the beginning.”
Polaroid photo of UFO over South Clayton taken 4 days before reported Westall High School incident
Shane Ryan is a researcher looking for eyewitnesses to the 1966 Westall UFO incident, on the Wednesday before Easter, April 6, 1966, about 11 0’clock in the morning.
Say the name Roswell and 774’s Breakfast presenter Red Symons immediately thinks of metal objects shooting through the sky landing in the desert, and little green men coming out of them. But when you say the name Clayton South, you probably think pork buns, unless you were around in 1966 and were one of 200 people who witnessed the Westall UFO incident.
Shane Ryan is a researcher looking for eyewitnesses. “It happened on the Wednesday before Easter, April 6, 1966, about 11 0’clock in the morning. Around about 200 people, most of them students at what was then called Westall High School, were out for morning recess”, says Shane. “Many saw the strange object descend behind pine trees in The Grange Reserve, and then later ascend and fly away at great speed. The people who ran over to the reserve found a huge ring in the paddock where the object had been seen. Some people reported five light aircraft following or chasing the object.
“It’s an interesting case because there was this trace left behind which not only those kids saw, but a whole number of people who came afterwards, after school and adults and so forth came down to have a look at it as well.”
A crop circle perhaps? “Some people call it that,” continues Shane, “I’m not sure that it was, but it was certainly a ring left behind in the grass. And the other fascinating aspect of the story is that some people talk about the area being cordoned off by people in uniform.”
Several witnesses reported being spoken to by the RAAF or military, including the school’s science teacher, who was apparently threatened by two RAAF officers under the Official Secrets Act, if he spoke in public about what he had seen. The high school authorities dealt very harshly with both students and staff in the wake of this event, and forbade any discussion about it.
Shane has now established an email discussion group to encourage people to come forward and tell their stories about that day. About 45 people have made contact thus far. A lot of former Westall school students and two or three of the teachers. This group is dedicated to those people who were involved in, or have an interest in the incident at Westall High School, in the Melbourne suburb of Clayton South. He is especially keen to hear from people from “the other side”, that is from the side of the authorities who may have been involved that day, such as RAAF, police or army.
Clayton South residents remember the 1966 day they saw flying objects
heraldsun – Flying saucers, crop circles, missing film, disappearing files, denials, military cover-ups, threats and shadowy Men in Black.
It couldn’t happen here?
Most people would say it couldn’t happen anywhere!
But more than 100 witnesses to one of the world’s biggest UFO mysteries are adamant that it did, in broad daylight in Clayton South on April 6, 1966.
And 44 years after the event, many are still fuming that the military they say were swarming around the scene for days have offically denied the incident and no record appears to exist.
They say they spent their lives being doubted and want some official acknowledgment that something weird happened above and behind Westall high and primary schools that morning.
London’s Telegraph newspaper rates it as the fifth-greatest UFO mystery of all time, but another mystery is how little-known the episode is here.
A documentary – Westall ’66: A Suburban UFO Mystery – premieres on Austar and Foxtel’s Sci-Fi Channel at 8.30pm tomorrow.
Producers hope it will flush out an official who can say what the military were doing and what they found.
Researcher Shane Ryan has spent five years tracking 110 witnesses, many found through an appeal in the Herald Sun in 2006, but could find no military officials, and no record of a military response.
But locals remember it vividly, saying it lasted days.
The 110 Mr Ryan has found who say they saw saucers include professionals, tradies and a Ministerial Adviser, but not one military official of the time.
He says time is running out for them to come clean.
“Whatever security concerns there were at the time, they are redundant now,” he says.
A TV crew covered the incident and it screened on the 6pm news, but the film canister from the job was recently found empty in the station archives.
Several witnesses say they were warned off speaking by sharply-dressed men in dark suits, in the principal’s office and at home.
Others recall school threats of detention for UFO talk.
But talk there was, and coverage.
The Dandenong Journal reported the incident on its front page for consecutive issues and ran interviews with witnesses.
Many were school pupils who say they saw flying saucers from their school yards. Some ran to Grange Reserve, where the craft appeared to have come down.
Terry Peck, 56, was among them. She says she was playing cricket on the oval, saw the saucer and chased after it to Grange Reserve.
“Two girls were there before me. One was terribly upset and they were pale, really white, ghostly white. They just said they had passed out, fainted. One was taken to hospital in an ambulance,” she says.
Ms Peck says she saw a silver, classic-shape saucer rise up.
“I was about 6m away from it. It was bigger than a car and circular. I think I saw some lights underneath it.
“We all got called to an assembly … and they told us all to keep quiet.
“I’d absolutely just like someone to come forward from the services just to say ‘yes, it did happen, and it landed and there was a cover-up’.”
Jacqueline Argent, 58, in Form 3 then, says she saw a UFO from the oval and was one of the first three kids over the fence looking for where it came down.
“Originally I thought it must have been an experimental-type aircraft, but nothing has emerged like that after all these years,” she said.
She says she was called into the headmaster’s office and interrogated by three men: “They had good-quality suits and were well spoken. They said, ‘I suppose you saw little green men’?
“I spoke to my parents about it at the time and they were pretty outraged.”
Retired engineer Kevin Hurley, a Monash Uni student then, missed the saucers but saw the aftermath.
“There were army or air force people in the area,” he said.
“I’m pretty sure they were going around the area with geiger counters or metal detectors.
“I’m not a freak that thinks Martian people are coming. I don’t think that kind of stuff, but it’s bugged me.
“After 44 years, I reckon they need to come clean on this.”
The article said witnesses had seen a number of small planes circle around the object – however, a check later showed that no commercial, private or RAAF pilots had reported anything unusual in the area.
But despite the many witnesses, exactly what happened at 11am that day in Cold War-era Melbourne suburbia has remained a mystery.
Suzanne Savage, who was in form 2 at Westall High in 1966, recalls principal Frank Samblebe holding a special assembly after she and her science class saw a ”classic saucer-shaped object” descend into Grange Reserve and then disappear into the sky.
”He said he didn’t want to hear any more about this nonsense. We were not to discuss it ever again – and so I didn’t,” Ms Savage told The Saturday Age.
Ian Cochrane, who was in form 3 at Westall High in 1966, also believes the bizarre occurrence was covered up.
Mr Cochrane recalls returning to Grange Reserve the following Saturday to show his mates the perfect circle of flattened grass, only to discover the site had been dug up.
”If you talked about it you’d get nutbags to contend with, or people who couldn’t cope, so you just didn’t talk about it,” Mr Cochrane said.
What did the students see? Was it a UFO from outer space, a secret military aircraft, a meteorological oddity or an example of a psychological phenomenon, where people were influenced by each other to believe in something they did not really see?
Forty-five years later Shane Ryan is still searching for answers. The English teacher has spent the past six years investigating the flying saucer enigma, which he believes ranks alongside the daylight school-based UFO sightings in Broad Haven in Wales in 1974 and Ruwa in Zimbabwe in 1994.
”It’s obvious to me people saw something very strange and unusual and somebody in the government didn’t really want the story to get out,” he said.
Mr Ryan has interviewed more than 300 people connected to the case, 89 of whom claim they saw a flying saucer and 138 who saw the circle. He said several witnesses told of police and men in military uniforms who cordoned off the landing site and interviewed some students.
However, despite extensive searches, Mr Ryan has been unable to find police or military personnel who attended on the day or locate documents that may be held by state and federal government agencies.
”I’m so frustrated that after all these years I can’t get an official answer about why the powers that be were there that day and why they didn’t want the students to talk about what they saw,” he said.
Mr Ryan’s search for the truth is the subject of the documentary Westall 66: A Suburban UFO Mystery, directed by Rosie Jones, which will screen at 8.30pm on Tuesday on the Sci Fi Channel on Foxtel and Austar.
The Australian Teachers of Media have also created a study guide around the event, which can be used in the national history curriculum.
The study guide says Westall 66 reflects a fascinating and pivotal period in world history. ”With its undercurrent of Cold War paranoia, secret US airbases and a strong military relationship between Australia and America, this story raises questions about the acceptability of cover-ups and untruths delivered by governments in the interests of national security,” it says.
Study guide co-writer Lee Burton says these are themes that have repercussions today. ”This is an example of how we can help students understand an historical event within a local community that occurred in living memory,” she said. ”My guess is it will be very popular.” – theage
Ring of mystery: Shaun Matthews revisits Grange Reserve where he witnessed the UFO
Remember the 1967 NASA image referred to as “The Shard”? A strange and very large tower type figure that appeared in one still image captured by Lunar Orbiter III (I think). Well, this thing spotted by Jasenko could be eerily similar. An irregularly shaped dark spot he noticed on Google Moon looks like it could be a cast shadow from a massive standing object, or figure. At first I thought maybe it was something drawn into the picture but after going to G. Moon, whatever it is or isn’t.. uh, is there. You get the idea. Go check it out and of course decide for yourself. Debunk it, shred it, figure it out.
I’m a 20 year-old aspiring filmmaker. I’m dropping out of college and just recently moved to LA to pursue a career in movies. My grandparents live out here and were generous enough to let me move in with them temporarily until I can afford my own place. So now it’s just me and my grandparents living in this enormous old house of theirs. The property is on a corner, surrounded by tall hedges and various plants and trees. There’s also a small “guest house” out back beyond some trees which my grandparents sold back in the 70′s. There’s an elderly man, Mr. Heedy, who’s lived there since then. He and his deceased wife are old family friends–I remember seeing them both on a few occasions when I came to visit my grandparents as a child. Mr. Heedy and my grandfather used to talk in the driveway about fixing cars and stuff like that while Mrs. Heedy sat in a rocking chair on the porch. I never saw her get up or walk around. Mr. Heedy would sometimes give me candy bars, which I more than appreciated as a little kid, but he would also “playfully” scare me as many adults do with children–joking about the ghost of a dead cat that my grandparents owned back when my mom was a teenager, or shushing me when I was outside playing with my cousins because “the flowers won’t like it.” One time he picked a bright pink flower from his garden and gave it to me, warning me to behave myself and be a proper little boy so the flower wouldn’t get angry and poison me. I had (and still have) an overactive imagination, which probably explains my nightmare, but it still bothers me to this day: that night, I had a dream where I was standing at the edge of a forest, looking out at a field of the pink flowers, and I remember feeling terror because the flowers were everywhere and were releasing pollen into the air so everyone would get poisoned and die. I only had that dream once, but ever since then it’s been burned into my memory.
Mr. Heedy’s wife got sick with something and died back in the early 2000′s, and after that Mr. Heedy became something of a shut-in. He rarely leaves the guest house, and when he does, according to my grandparents, it’s only to work in the garden and keep the flowers watered. This is what’s been bugging me since I moved in late last week: as far as I can tell, he never even leaves the property to buy groceries. I don’t know how he eats; he’s literally in his house all the time. Two nights ago, I decided to pull an all-nighter to see if maybe he went out at all during that time. This is where it gets really strange.
At around 3am, while I was in my room watching a movie on my laptop, I thought I heard someone singing. I just assumed it was one of the audio tracks in the movie. But this happened two more times again while I was watching, and when the movie was over and I took my headphones off, I heard it again. It was more like chanting, coming from outside. I stood up and walked over to the window, and for a moment I even laughed to myself and wondered if maybe my neighbor was a Satan-worshipper like in Rosemary’s Baby or something like that. Then I looked down out the window and saw the guest house through the trees. The main room of the house looked like it was lit up by candles, too dim to make out anything inside. The chanting was coming loud and clear from inside the house. If horror movies have taught me anything, the chanting was probably in Latin, but I couldn’t understand any words (I took four years of Latin in school). While I was watching the house, I heard footsteps down below in the dirt next to the side of the house, and I looked down to see a shadowy figure (remember, it was really, really dark out) walking in a weird way up to it–sort of staggering, the way a toddler just learning to walk would–and then stopping at the front door, where it just stood there, perfectly still, for the next hour, during which time the chanting occasionally subsided and then came back. As you can imagine, I was already scared shitless, but what happened next almost gave me a genuine heart attack. The figure turned its head about 135 degrees to the right and was looking at something. I followed its gaze down the path to the house and saw a second figure CRAWLING on the ground up to the porch like a spider. At this point I actually gasped and jumped back from the window and broke out in a cold sweat. I’ve never felt more scared in my whole life. For a long time I just stood there in the middle of my room with my hands over my mouth, breathing heavily and feeling my heart pound against my chest, afraid to look back out the window or to move in any direction.
Eventually the sun came up and I heard the comforting sounds of birds chirping and cars driving by. I tried lying down on my bed to sleep, but couldn’t. I waited until it was bright out and I could hear my grandparents walking about downstairs and making breakfast before I decided to get up again. I glanced out the window at Mr. Heedy’s house. Everything was normal again. Anyway, the rest of the day went by as usual, and the events of the night before started to just feel like a bad dream. That night I was so exhausted that I didn’t even try to stay awake again and just slept all the way through. I’m pulling another all-nighter right now while I’m writing this and so far no chanting or anything from the guest house. I might try to get some sleep if nothing happens, but if it does, I’ll post an update sometime later. – Reddit.com
Dead koala with $50 stuffed in mouth dumped at police station
Police are investigating whether the dumping of a dead koala outside a police station in Victoria’s south-west with $50 stuffed in its mouth is linked to a crackdown on drug crime in the region.
Sergeant Jason Von Tunk, who the discovered the koala’s body, says he was working alone at the Heywood police station on Saturday night when he heard a thud outside.
He said he went outside to investigate and found the animal dead in the driveway with money in its mouth.
“I went to investigate what it was and I saw a motionless koala in the drive way, and I looked around and couldn’t see anyone,” Sergeant Von Tunk said.
He continued: “Then I, on closer inspection, saw a $50 note stuffed in its mouth. It’s sickening, it’s morbid, if it is a joke, it’s certainly not funny. I just can’t understand it.”
Sergeant Von Tunk said he called in another officer from the nearby Portland police station to help establish a motive.
“The money itself, there was no note attached to it or anything, so we can only think that it’s some sort of sinister thing, it’s rather morbid,” he said.
“But without anyone coming forward we’re left in the lurch as to who, what, where and why.”
But he said the incident could be related to drug investigations.
“There’s a number of suspicions I can cast on and none of them have been ruled out, and certainly drugs, but also some sort of protest group or even a prank, I couldn’t tell you,” he said.
Sergeant Von Tunk said the koala had head injuries but he did not think it was killed deliberately.
“We weren’t able to determine how the koala died, but there didn’t appear to be any cruelty aspects to it,” he said.
“It appears that it could’ve just been run over and it was an opportunistic way to just get it off the side of the road, put $50 in its mouth and just throw it at the police station.” – abc.net.au
What constitutes a good, solid and credible UFO incident? That’s a very good question, and one I get asked now and again. Well, my answer would be that such a case would, ideally, have the support of a number of witnesses, some form of evidence that can be analyzed, and on the record individuals whose words we can refer to and study. And, for me, this is typified by a highly notable affair that falls into this particular category, and which will be celebrating its 60th anniversary in just a few months from now…
On both July 19 and 20, 1952, there were repeated sightings of unknown aerial objects in the Washington, D.C., airspace, something that, on July 24, led USAF Major General John A. Samford to state in a Secret memorandum for the attention of the Deputy Chief of Staff, Operations: “We are interested in these reports in that we must always on the alert for any threat or indication of a threat to the United States. We cannot ignore these reports but the mild hysteria subsequent to publicity given this subject causes an influx of reports which since the 19th of July has almost saturated our ‘Emergency’ procedures.”
The situation really escalated after the weekend of July 26-27. A two-page USAF document, prepared only days later, related the facts: “This incident involved unidentified targets observed on the radar scopes at the Air Route Traffic Control Center and the tower, both at Washington National Airport, and the Approach Control Radar at Andrews Air Force Base. In addition, visual observations were reported to Andrews and Bolling AFB and to ARTC Center, the latter by pilots of commercial aircraft and one CAA aircraft…”
The report continues:
“Varying numbers (up to 12 simultaneously) of u/i targets on ARTC radar scope. Termed by CAA personnel as ‘generally solid returns’, similar to a/c except slower. Mr. Bill Schreve, flying a/c NC-12 reported at 2246 EDT that he had visually spotted 5 objects giving off a light glow ranging from orange to white; his altitude at time was 2,200’. Some commercial pilots reported visuals ranging from ‘cigarette glow’ to a ‘light…”
And the deep strangeness only continued, as the USAF noted:
“ARTC crew commented that, as compared with u/i returns picked up in early hours of 20 July 52, these returns appeared to be more haphazard in their actions, i.e. they did not follow a/c around nor did they cross scope consistently on same general heading. Some commented that the returns appeared to be from objects ‘capable of dropping out of the pattern at will’. Also that returns had ‘creeping appearance’. One member of crew commented that one object to which F-94 was vectored just ‘disappeared from Scope’ shortly after F-94 started pursuing. All crew members emphatic that most u/i returns have been picked up from time to time over the past few months but never before had they appeared in such quantities over such a prolonged period and with such definition as was experienced on the nights of 19/20 and 26/27 July 1952.”
Although the portions extracted from this report speak for themselves, let us now examine an official transcript of a conversation, dated July 26, between staff at Washington National Airport and personnel from Andrews Air Force Base at the time of the sightings:
Wash: “Andrews Tower, do you read? Did you have an airplane in sight west-northwest or east of your airport eastbound?”
Andr: “No, but we just got a call from the Center. We’re looking for it.”
Wash: “We’ve got a big target showing up on our scope. He’s just coming in on the west edge of your airport – the northwest edge of it eastbound. He’ll be passing right through the northern portion of your field on an east heading. He’s about a quarter of a mile from the northwest runway – right over the edge of your runway now.”
Andr: “This is Andrews. Our radar tracking says he’s got a big fat target out here northwest of Andrews. He says he’s got two more south of the field.”
Wash: “Yes, well the Center has about four or five around the Andrews Range Station. The Center is working a National Airlines – the Center is working him and vectoring him around his target. He went around Andrews. He saw one of them – looks like a meteor…went by him…or something. He said he’s got one about three miles off his right wing right now. There are so many targets around here it is hard to tell as they are not moving very fast.”
Within a matter of hours of hearing of the events of July 26-27, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover instructed N.W. Philcox, the FBI’s Air Force liaison representative, to determine what had taken place and to ascertain the Air Force’s opinions on the UFO subject as a whole.
On July 29, Philcox made arrangements through the office of the Director of Air Intelligence, Major General John A. Samford, to meet with Commander Randall Boyd of the Current Intelligence Branch, Estimates Division, Air Intelligence, regarding “the present status of Air Intelligence research into the numerous reports regarding flying saucers and flying discs.”
Although the Air Force was publicly playing down the possibility that UFOs were anything truly extraordinary, Philcox was advised that “at the present time the Air Force has failed to arrive at any satisfactory conclusion in its research regarding numerous reports of flying saucers and flying discs sighted throughout the United States.”
Philcox was further informed that Air Intelligence had set up at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, the Air Technical Intelligence Center, which had been established in part for the purpose of “coordinating, correlating and making research into all reports regarding flying saucers and flying discs.”
As Philcox listened very carefully to what Boyd had to say on the matter, he noted that the Air Force had placed their UFO reports into three definable categories. In the first instance there were those sightings “which are reported by citizens who claim they have seen flying saucers from the ground. These sightings vary in description, color and speeds. Very little credence is given to these sightings inasmuch as in most instances they are believed to be imaginative or some explainable object which actually crossed through the sky.”
Philcox then learned that the second category of encounters proved to be of greater significance: “Sightings reported by commercial or military pilots. These sightings are considered more credible by the Air Force inasmuch as commercial or military pilots are experienced in the air and are not expected to see objects which are entirely imaginative. In each of these instances, the individual who reports the sightings is thoroughly interviewed by a representative of Air Intelligence so that a complete description of the object can be obtained.”
The third category of encounters, Boyd advised Philcox, were those where, in addition to a visual sighting by a pilot, there was corroboration either from a ground-based source or by radar. Philcox wrote to Hoover: “Commander Boyd advised that this latter classification constitutes two or three per cent of the total number of sightings, but that they are the most credible reports received and are difficult to explain.”
“In these instances,” Philcox was told, “there is no doubt that these individuals reporting the sightings actually did see something in the sky.” And to demonstrate that Boyd was well acquainted with the UFO issue on a worldwide scale, he confided in Philcox that “sightings have also recently been reported as far distant as Acapulco, Mexico, Korea and French Morocco… the sightings reported in the last classification have never been satisfactorily explained.”
The commander then came out with a true bombshell, as Philcox noted in his report on the meeting: “[Boyd] advised that it is not entirely impossible that the objects may possibly be ships from another planet such as Mars.”
Clearly, within both the military and the Intelligence community of the day, there was deep concern about the Washington events – something which led to the development of startling and intriguing theories, and the analysis of countless data. So, collectively, this is why – in my opinion – the July 1952 encounters over the nation’s capital were evidence of true unknowns in our very midst…
Lieutenant George F. Gorman, a veteran pilot in the North Dakota Air National Guard, has gone down in history as the subject of an amazing close encounter with a still-unidentified flying object. Taking place on the night of October 1st, 1948, Lieutenant Gorman’s encounter was one of the earliest reported pilot testimonies regarding a UFO, and remains a classic case to this day.
Lt. Gorman was a member of the North Dakota Air National Guard and upon returning to Hector airport in Fargo from a cross-country flight with his squadron, he decided to keep his F-51 Mustang in the air to log some night-flight hours. So while the rest of the squadron landed, Gorman stayed aloft, circling the town of Fargo. As he prepared to land, the air traffic control tower at Hector airport advised him that there was another aircraft below him, specifically a Piper Cub. Lt. Gorman acknowledged and saw the plane about 500 feet below him. Soon after, he saw something resembling the tail light of another aircraft quickly pass him on his right side.
Alerting the control tower to the latter presence, the tower radioed back saying there were no other craft in his vicinity except for the Piper Cub. Wanting to investigate further, Lt. Gorman radioed the tower to let them know of his intentions, and pursued the the object. Upon approaching within 1,000 yards of the object, Lt. Gorman estimated that the lighted object was small, about six to eight inches in diameter. What happened next is best described by Lt. Gorman’s own words, found in an excerpt from one case report:
“’It was about six to eight inches in diameter, clear white, and completely round without fuzz at the edges. It was blinking on and off. As I approached, however, the light suddenly became steady and pulled into a sharp left bank. I thought it was making a pass at the tower. I dived after it and brought my manifold pressure up to sixty inches, but I couldn’t catch up with the thing. It started gaining altitude and again made a left bank,’ he said. ‘I put my F-51 into a sharp turn and tried to cut the light off in its turn. By then we were at about 7,000 feet. Suddenly it made a sharp right turn and we headed straight at each other. Just when we were about to collide, I guess I got scared. I went into a dive, and the light passed over my canopy at about 500 feet.’”
An F-51 Mustang similar to the one flown by Lieutenant Gorman.
Immediately following this near-miss, Lt. Gorman said he made a sharp turn to continue his pursuit at which point the object was again heading straight for him on another collision course. Just when it appeared they would collide again, however, Lt. Gorman said the object shot straight up in a steep climb and disappeared. Wanting to continue his pursuit, Lt. Gorman also pulled his F-51 into a climb, but it stalled and so he returned to the airport. He was so disturbed and shaken by what had just happened, that despite being a veteran pilot and flight instructor (during World War II), he had difficulty landing his airplane.
According to another case report, Lt. Gorman would later make a statement to Major D.C. Jones, commander of the squadron which landed at Hector airport, that he believed there was some degree of thought behind the maneuvers exhibited by the craft he was pursuing. He also said: “I am also convinced that the object was governed by the laws of inertia because its acceleration was rapid but not immediate, and although it was able to turn fairly tight at considerable speed, it still followed a natural curve.”
the Air Force’s official explanation, made by Captain Edward J. Ruppelt (head of Project Blue Book) was that Lt. Gorman saw and pursued a lighted balloon. Dr. H. Menzel, an astronomer from Harvard University, saw some flaws in the Air Force’s balloon explanation, and additionally proposed that what Gorman was chasing was along the lines of an optical illusion of the planet Jupiter.
As always, I think it’s important to maintain a vigilant skepticism no matter how convincing such cases may be. Nonetheless, the aforementioned explanations seem to be almost an insult to Lt. Gorman’s intelligence and veteran, war-time flying experience. Thankfully, there were at least three corroborators (the chief of the air traffic control tower at Hector airport as well as two men in the Piper Cub) who saw most of the so-called dogfight through their binoculars. Some of Lt. Gorman’s testimony was also included in a 1952 issue of LIFE magazine: “For 27 hair-raising minutes Gorman pursued the light through a series of intricate manoeuvres. He said it was about 6 inches in diameter and going faster than his F-51 (300-400 mph). It made no sound and left no exhaust trail.”
It is also interesting to view Lt. Gorman’s case in comparison to the recently covered videos of Damien Nott in episode 12.04, the ones in which there are clearly some white spherical shapes making quick accelerations and sharp turns. While the size of the objects are difficult to determine in Nott’s videos, it still seems as though some eerie comparisons can be made. Regardless, Lt. Gorman’s case is an extraordinary one which I thought warranted a place in the annals of Mysterious Universe.
Het doet denken aan een ruimteschip uit een ander sterrenstelsel, maar het is in feite een enorme wolk boven China. De wolk is gezien boven de stad Xiamen in de provincie Fujian. Het vliegtuig valt vrijwel in het niet bij de wolk, die normaal gesproken wordt gevormd wanneer koude lucht over de bergen trekt.
Een woordvoerster van de Britse meteorologische dienst zei: “Dit is een altocumulus lenticularis. Sommige mensen denken dat ze eruitzien als een stapel borden. Ze vormen zich normaal gezien boven bergen en worden vaak UFO-wolk genoemd.”
Lenswolken zien eruit als een reusachtig luchtschip of een sigaar met gladgepolijste randen. De opvallende vormen danken hun ontstaan aan wind of golfvormige beweging van lucht onder invloed van heuvels of bergen.
Wanneer de wind met een flinke kracht tegen de berg blaast wordt de lucht gedwongen te stijgen. Aan de achterzijde van de berg daalt de lucht dan weer.
UFO-wolk boven China (Imaginechina/REX)
Zo’n stijgbeweging plant zich voort tot hoog boven het niveau van de berg. Luchtlagen hoger in de atmosfeer koelen tijdens dat stijgproces af en raken soms verzadigd met waterdamp, waardoor zich wolken kunnen vormen. Daalt de lucht verderop, dan wordt de lucht weer warmer en raakt onverzadigd. De bewolking lost dan weer op.
Een UFO-wolk blijft daarom min of meer permanent boven dezelfde plaats hangen, terwijl de lucht gewoon verder stroomt. Vorming van lenswolken kan duiden op snelle stromingen in de hogere luchtlagen of plotselinge toename van de wind op een bepaalde hoogte.
Stanton Friedman has reiterated calling my book The Rosetta Deception disinformation even though he hasn't bothered to read it. He also said that I am full of baloney and puts forward an article he wrote for the MUFON Journal in 2010 as the basis for his comments. What he doesn't yet realize (because he hasn't read my book) is that his 2010 comments only bolster the book's theory and do no not detract from it.
I didn't respond back in 2010 but since Stan decided to dredge up his article, it is time I set the record straight. I won't address his comments on Roswell because my book is NOT about Roswell. If he had bothered to read it, he probably would have tempered his comments accordingly. Instead, I will focus on Stanton's comments on the subject of disinformation.
Stan says:
"I am definitely in agreement with James that disinformation is a very important aspect of hot and cold war activities. Certainly New Mexico is no stranger to disinformation and intentional misinformation. When the extraordinary first nuclear explosion was set off at Trinity site on the White Sands Missile Range on July 16, 1947, at 5:29 AM, it was seen by people as far as 100 miles away. Many calls were made to Sheriff's offices, police forces, etc. In a few days a totally false story was released indicating that an ammunition dump had blown up and that fortunately nobody was injured. It was only after the nuclear detonations on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, on August 6 and 9, that the true story came out. The city of Los Alamos, NM, where the scientific work connected with the development of those weapons was conducted was a totally secret city. Nobel prize winning scientists travelled under assumed names. And there were many more examples. A very distressing disinformation release occurred on Sept.12, 1945, when the New York Times quoted General T.F. Farrell, Chief of the War Departmentís mission to Hiroshima, saying that the bomb produced no long lived radioactivity. That was known to be totally false as a result of medical observations of very sick people in Hiroshima a month after the blast."
Thanks Stan for confirming that the NY Times was a conduit for disinformation. I highlight the NT Times complicity in disinformation in my book on page 169.
Stan continues:
"During World War II there were many examples of Disinformation. The allies made a very elaborate and subtle effort to convince Hitler that the expected invasion of Germany would take place near Calais, France, under General Patton. Instead Normandy was the location. Hitler was fooled and withheld his reserve troops not knowing that Normandy was just a feint. It was too late when he finally responded."
Thanks Stan for mentioning the WW2 disinformation operations that were conducted as strategic deception against the Axis powers. The deception planners that designed and conducted those disinformation operations were the London Controlling Section in the UK and Joint Security Control in the United States. The perpetrators of the 1946 Ghost Rockets just so happened to be the successor members of these two deception planning organizations. On the American side, these included Joint Security Control members General Hoyt Vandenberg, General George McDonald, General Stephen Chamberlin and General Clayton Bissell, among others. If you read the book you will find extensive footnotes that point to the official documents that show the involvement of these characters.
Stan further asserts:
"James goes on at some length about a Project Seal supposedly conducted in secrecy by New Zealand, the USA and the United Kingdom towards the end of WW II. The idea was to see if an artificial Tsunami could be created using underwater explosives and causing a huge tidal wave to wash away the Japanese troops on Pacific Islands. He focused on articles appearing in Mid-June 1947 suggesting the project had been working on something as powerful as the atomic bomb and makes much of the timing of one of the articles being in a newspaper next to one about Kenneth Arnold's sighting. For reasons unknown the articles named 2 professionals involved in the project. James is right to ask what that was all about. Was it to tantalize the Russians? But he provides no link between that story and Roswell or the Soviets.
There is no "supposedly" about it. Project Seal was a wartime classified project. I have posted the declassified project documents on my blog http://rosettadeception.blogspot.com. What you failed to mention to your readers is that the project was terminated in 1945 but promoted as ongoing in 1947 by the original scientists working on the project. These scientists were purposely telling lies but packaging it as truth - that is called disinformation.
You also failed to mention that the press in 1947 did not know that the already terminated project was a tsunami creator as the project wasn't declassified till much later. Instead the speculation two weeks before Kenneth Arnold had his sighting was that the super secret weapon was an airborne weapon. When you read my book you will see the connection this story has with the Soviets.
What is that debunking tactic you really hate others using? Oh yes - "What the Public doesn't know, don't tell them
Stan acts surprised when:
"Carrion doesn't mention the story told by Professor Valery Burdakov of the Scientific Geoinformation Center of the USSR Academy of Sciences in a large article in Rabochhaya Tribuna (the Workers Tribune) in August 1991, Professor Burdakov told how he had been told by Sergey Korolyev, the Soviet Union's top rocket designer,that Josef Stalin had ordered Korolyev to spend time in secret reviewing a number of foreign articles about UFOs including about Roswell. Several Translators were provided."
You won't be surprised Stan to see in my book that this is exactly what the Rosetta Deception was about - to get the Soviets interested first in the Ghost Rockets and later Flying Saucers for a mundane although highly important reason that had nothing to do with ET. The book will explain how important those foreign articles were to pulling off the deception.
And most importantly Stan, thank you for mentioning that:
"Korolyev told Stalin the saucers seemed to be real, but were not a security threat to the USSR. Stalin said other scientists had provided the same opinion. Burdakov was asked about the source of the information. His answer was from Spies. We now know, of course that there were, in 1947, Russian spies such as the Rosenbergs and Klaus Fuchs working at Los Alamos."
Yes Stan, the source were Soviet spies because the Rosetta Deception is intimately tied to the Venona Project, the highly secret counterintelligence program that was being conducted from 1946 onward to expose those very spies.
So Stan, thank you for bolstering my book precognitively in 2010. It is too bad your precognitive abilities failed you when you predicted before reading the book, that the Rosetta Deception itself is just disinformation. If you still stand by that comment, then you won't object to a public debate where you present evidence disputing that my book presents anything other than factual evidence backed up by documented sources.
Oregonian’s got a strange sighting at their capital recently. These orbs appear around their capital building in the latest ufo sighting. Wether they are ufos or light anomalies is up to you but seeing them so close to the golden man makes me think that our politicians might have had visitor.
Outside a shoe store in broad daylight, on a nearly cloudless day, in the town of Bennington in Vermont in the year 1970. I was with a young woman at the time that was outside the store, while my parents were shopping in there. There was no sound from the disc at all. When we first noticed the object, it was just hovering there in the sky about six hundred feet away, and about one hundred feet off of the ground. It started to move in a slow and straight motion to my left. The sighting was an interest that invoked curiosity and wonder at what it was that we were witness to. I mentioned to her to go and tell everyone in the shoe store to come out and to see this.
The disc shaped object exited the sky in a display of non ballistic motion before anyone else could arrive. My father was a prominent university theologian that was the author of several books that focus around psychic phenomenon, and classified government research. There was no mistaken idea as to what it was that the two of us were seeing on that day in broad daylight. It was a positive experience that was without fear or apprehension as to what it was that we were witnessing. A miracle with a divine providence was what it was that we had seen that day. I have watched the government of this country ensure the security of information and unusual phenomenon that is supported by a use of lethal force. The reciprocity from me was one of being perplexed, and I gathered that a mandate of very stringent conditions of containment in access to information was being implemented by the Department of Defense.
I never saw the occupants of the UFO, since the age level precluded my ability to assimilate the ‘who,what,when,and where’ to a greater degree. I have watched other good men and women pay a high personal cost in order to become the victims of those that want to control the telepathic influence of these beings. This stands in contrast to being a part of the solution in society that is directed towards an understanding as to why these intelligent life forms that are from other planets are visiting the Earth.
NOTE: The above image is real and was witnessed 1-17-13 in Palm Harbor Park in Florida.
This case is under investigation by Chief Investigator ken Pfeifer of MUFON Vermont.
Several witnesses apparently saw the same UFO in North Wales last night. As is often the case these days, many of the witnesses turned to social media for answers and to share their experiences. One man posted a video on YouTube, others posted in Facebook, and another tweeted a local news outlet.
The first set of sightings took place in Wrexham in North Wales. David Price posted a video of this UFO, In the description he says he captured the video on his iPod and transferred it to his tablet to post it on YouTube.
Price told Wrexham.com, “I was looking towards Bradley from First Avenue in Gwersyllt at about 10:20pm. The lights were quite far apart but connected, no sound, slowly flew towards town… They were flashing in sync but not together, no other colours, just red.”
Wrexham.com said they heard from other witnesses as well. One said, “Quite clearly could see it, there was no noise and it was bang in the middle of town on a quiet night.”
Another witness said, “There were red lights flashing in the sky, they were quite far apart but travelling really slow.”
A man named Stephen posted on Wrexham.com’sFacebook page, “Anyone see two red lights fly low over Wrexham last night? Wasn’t a plane, helicopter and defo not lanterns.”
Later that night, a witness in nearby Deeside apparently saw the same object. He tweeted the local news outlet Deeside.com, saying, “@DeesideDotCom just seen something strange fly over deeside either very very big plain or 2 in formation alternative red flashing lights ???”

More and more UFO sightings are playing out over social media. Recently, UFO sightings in Toronto caused excitement on the web as witnesses tweeted about their sightings.
Perhaps this up to the second type of information exchange will eventually be able to help provide more information about the mysterious objects being witnessed. In the case of North Wales last night, no one has yet offered a possible explanation, prosaic or otherwise.
The hit Science Channel show The Unexplained Files is set to tackle two controversial UFO cases in tonight’s episode.
The episode will first cover a mysterious skeleton discovered in Peru in 2011. The skeleton made headlines the following year when analysis revealed unusual DNA sequencing. The media quickly latched on to claims that this could be the skeleton of an alien. According the Science Channel, “Anthropologist Dr. Theo Paredes investigates these shocking claims as forensic analysis reveals that the skeleton was not the victim of disease or ritual cranial deformation. And when tests fail to identify paternal DNA, he is forced to consider the possibility of an extra-terrestrial origin.”
From the desert to the Baltic Sea, the show will dive into the mysterious object discovered resting on the floor of the ocean. The shape of the object resembles the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars and has lead researchers to believe they’ve discovered the remains of a crashed UFO. The mystery deepens as they uncover reports of military UFO records and further UFO sightings in the area. The Science Channel states, “Polish fisherman Mirek Malczewski and five other crew members witness a UFO hovering above the Baltic. The craft has a remarkable similarity to the disc found by Ocean X.”
The Unexplained Files: Peruvian Alien Skull and Baltic Sea UFO airs tonight, Tuesday, August 5th, on the Science Channel at 10PM and 1 AM EST.
Early in 2014, whilst I was busy researching and exploring the ancient megalithic ruins here in Ecuador nicknamed as ‘The Lost City of Giants’, I was contacted by a television production company interested in giants. This contact eventually led to my being invited to join an expedition preparing to travel up into the Georgian Caucuses.
In June I traveled out to Georgia and met up with the film crew from the Discovery Network. The job in hand was to help create an episode of the Science Channel’s flagship cable show called ‘The Unexplained Files’. This particular production would be all about ancient giant human-like beings.
This show is currently credited with being the most popular Science Channel series of 2013, it has the following mission directive: “...aims to analyze historical events and scientific phenomena by using interviews with scientists, academic researchers and reliable eyewitness accounts.”
So how did the Science Channel come to send us all to Georgia? The background to this story starts in 2008 when a group of Georgian researchers followed up on a story they had heard about the burial chamber of a giant having been stumbled upon by a herdsman in an extremely remote location. The account told that this farmer had entered an ancient stone crypt somewhere in the mountains only to find an incredible sight, two giant sized human skeletons sitting on chairs at a large table. The team of Georgian researchers hiked into the wilderness with the hope of investigating the discovery, this site being located high up in the Lesser Caucasus mountain range. This region is part of the enormous forested Borjormi-Kharagauli national park area.

When the group reached the site, which is difficult to reach, they found an ancient ruined structure and nearby was the ‘crypt’ chamber. By 2008 the crypt had collapsed and was now filled with soil and debris, the giants were not evident but a shallow dig in one corner revealed a large cache of very aged bones. The bones appeared to be human, yet the size seemed extreme compared to those of an average normal build human male.

Giant bones recovered in 2008.
The team took some sample pieces from the remains and returned to the Georgian capital, Tbilisi. There they were presented to the respected scientist Professor Vekua, known for his discovery of the 1.8 million year old remains of Homo Erectus Georgicus. He stated that if the bones were human they would be consistent with a person of between 2.5 to 3.0 meters in height. Unfortunately before any final conclusions were reached or full testing could be done Vekua sadly died and the bones were lost somewhere in a Georgian museum archive among thousands of pieces and bones.

Somehow the researchers for the Science Channel stumbled onto this story in 2014 and began contacting scientists and researchers in Georgia that were connected to the original discovery. It was then decided that they would send a film crew to meet with some of the members of the team there and travel with them back to the site of the find, hopefully to excavate more bones and have them tested. I was already in talks with the production company at this time, regarding them using my information from the Ecuador Lost City of Giants, so they decided that it would be good to have me go along with the film crew as their expert on ancient mysteries. This sounded like an interesting adventure so I decided to accept the offer.
We traveled by mini-bus to the ranger station on the edge of the national park land and loaded the film crew’s kit onto horses, grabbed our bags and began the grueling hike. We would have to travel some 30 km on foot to reach the destination led by the four members of the original expedition and some park rangers. The first part of the journey being through dense forests, home to bears, wolves, wild cats and at times armed poachers.
From about half way I began to notice worked stone, pieces of a square shaped column beside the path, megalithic blocks and small but clearly shaped building blocks. Some of these were heaped up into dilapidated walls that may have one been parts of structures or burial mounds and others that were simply laying in the wide streams we passed through, as though washed down from somewhere further ahead when the water had been much higher and left deposited in these shallows downstream. This interesting stone debris was later superseded in my mind by what appeared to be a very ancient paved road, in such ruin that it must have been many thousands of years old. This began about 10 km into our hike. I was left wondering who could have shaped and then moved such a massive quantity of stone in such an inaccessible area and then utilized sufficient engineering skills to construct kilometers of road. Most intriguing of all was why would they want to do so here in the middle of nowhere?

We left the woodland behind and entered a gorge with steep cliffs on either side going vertically upwards to a height of about 100 meters. Here we were literally walking in a freezing cold river, mindful at every moment that a flash flood could suddenly wash us all away without any hope of escape. The water was full of large boulders, many big stones looked very clearly to have been shaped by human hands. At one point I saw something that seemed to be a skull design carved into the cliff wall just above us, though one would have to allow for thousands of years of water erosion to account for its current state. Clearly the basic form of a face was present.
Weathered skull feature noticed in canyon on route to ruins.
Finally we exited the river, with some relief. This feeling of relief was however short lived due to the fact we now had to head upwards on a steep and muddy mountain path for the next few hours. It was extremely grueling and the film crew and some of the others were struggling, I found myself glad that I was used to living in a low oxygen environment at over 3000 meters up in the Andes! As we traveled this path I again noted the remains of a paved road, blocks were sticking up through the mud or scattered about at the sides of the path. This obvious remnant of a civilization continued all the way to our destination 1800 meters above us on the mountain top.

At last we reached our primary destination, a ruined structure up on a narrow ridge. I noted it had an East West alignment, suggesting potentially it might be a solar temple, though the ideal defensible position also left open the possibility of it being a fort. It was not large, only about 15 meters by 10 meters. The roof was gone and the walls largely collapsed, large old trees had grown over parts of the ruins. There was little to identify its original purpose. I did however note one strange symbol engraved skillfully into loose stone block. The symbol appeared to be rather like a tadpole. Funnily enough I know that our friends and co-authors of ‘Ancient Aliens In Australia’, Steven and Evan Strong, have reported seeing this symbol on an ancient star chart in NSW, Australia.
The target location, ancient ruin at 1800 meters altitude, suspected to be 2000 years old.
The crypt of giant bones as it is in 2014.
Just a few meters away from this ruin is the so-called crypt. To be fair it might be a cellar or something else entirely, nobody really knows the original use. The age of the ruins here are unknown, the best projections put it at around 1800 to 2200 years old. This speculative date is based on the type of cement used between blocks as it appears similar to Roman concrete, it may however be much older as no testing has yet been done. It is a fascinating mystery as to who built this and why, especially with it being so far from any recognizable significant settlement. All that can be said for sure is that the remains of giants seem to have ended up buried at the site and that this ruin needs full excavation and detailed forensic archaeological examination. If it is a structure built by an unknown or extinct type of hominid, a giant type, then this could be one of the most important sites in the world for that reason alone.

Despite all of this the really interesting finds were yet to come. I believe that they will rewrite Georgian history...and then all of human history with it. There was something up in those mountains far stranger than ancient ruined temples and the bones of 3 meter tall beings. You will be one of the first people to know about it when you read the next article.

Discovery op zoek naar reuzenskeletten in Georgië
Discovery op zoek naar reuzenskeletten in Georgië
Een cameraploeg van Discovery heeft in Georgië opnames gemaakt voor een nieuwe aflevering van het programma ‘The Unexplained Files’ over reuzen. In 2008 gingen Georgische onderzoekers op zoek naar reuzenskeletten, die door een herder zouden zijn ontdekt in een extreem afgelegen gebied.
Het verhaal gaat dat de boer een graftombe binnenging en tot zijn verbazing twee reuzenskeletten aan een tafel zag zitten. Een team Georgische onderzoekers organiseerde in het Nationaal Park Borjom-Kharagauli in de Kleine Kaukasus een expeditie naar de grafkamer.
Eenmaal aangekomen bij het bouwwerk zag het team dat de graftombe was gevuld met puin en bodemmateriaal. Tijdens opgravingen vonden de archeologen zeer oude resten van mensen. Botresten werden in de hoofdstad Tbilisi onderzocht door professor Abesalom Vekua van de Georgische Academie van Wetenschappen, die bekendheid verwierf dankzij zijn ontdekking van 1,8 miljoen oude resten van de Homo erectus georgicus. Voordat er uitgebreid onderzoek kon worden gedaan kwam professor Vekua te overlijden en belandden de botten ergens in een Georgisch museum.
De Russische media meldden destijds dat de reuzen 25.000 jaar geleden in Borjomi Gorge in de Kleine Kaukasus leefden. Wetenschappers zeiden dat deze reuzen tussen de 2,5 en 3 meter lang waren. Vekua merkte op dat binnen de wetenschappelijke gemeenschap lange tijd werd gespeculeerd over reuzen die duizenden jaren geleden in delen van Eurazië leefden.
Deze mensen leefden geïsoleerd en hadden een andere bouw dan de moderne mens, aldus Vekua. Hij voegde toe dat in de literatuur wordt verwezen naar reuzen, maar dat bewijs voor deze hypothese niet bestaat. “We staan op het punt een sensationele ontdekking te doen,” zei hij. “Maar er moet eerst veel werk worden gedaan om uitsluitsel te kunnen geven.”
De legende over reuzen in de hooglanden van de Borjomi Gorge is doorgegeven van generatie op generatie. Lokale herders en jagers beweren dat hun voorouders spraken van supersterke reuzen die lange tijd geleden in de bergen leefden.

Scientists May Have Cracked The Giant Siberian Crater Mystery — & The News Isn’t Good
Scientists May Have Cracked The Giant Siberian Crater Mystery — & The News Isn’t Good
Before It's News)

Researchers have long contended that the epicenter of global warming is also farthest from the reach of humanity. It’s in the barren landscapes of the frozen North, where red-cheeked children wear fur, the sun barely rises in the winter and temperatures can plunge to 122 degrees below zero. Such a place is the Yamal Peninsula in Siberia, translated as “the ends of the Earth,” a desolate spit of land where a group called the Nenets live.
By now, you’ve heard of the crater on the Yamal Peninsula. It’s the one that suddenly appeared, yawning nearly 200 feet in diameter, and made severalrounds in the global viral media machine. The adjectives most often used to describe it: giant, mysterious, curious. Scientists were subsequently “baffled.” Locals were “mystified.” There were whispers that aliens were responsible. Nearby residents peddled theories of “bright flashes” and “celestial bodies.”
There’s now a substantiated theory about what created the crater. And the news isn’t so good.
It may be methane gas, released by the thawing of frozen ground. According to a recent Nature article, “air near the bottom of the crater contained unusually high concentrations of methane — up to 9.6% — in tests conducted at the site on 16 July, says Andrei Plekhanov, an archaeologist at the Scientific Centre of Arctic Studies in Salekhard, Russia. Plekhanov, who led an expedition to the crater, says that air normally contains just 0.000179% methane.”
The scientist said the methane release may be related to Yamal’s unusually hot summers in 2012 and 2013, which were warmer by an average of 5 degrees Celsius. “As temperatures rose, the researchers suggest, permafrost thawed and collapsed, releasing methane that had been trapped in the icy ground,” the report stated.
NASA also found the situation to be precarious. “The fragile and rapidly changing Arctic region is home to large reservoirs of methane, a potent greenhouse gas,” scientists wrote in 2012. It’s “vulnerable to being released into the atmosphere, where it can add to global warming.”
Now, as two additional craters have also recently been discovered in Siberia, researchers worry the craters may portend changes to local Siberian life. Two have appeared close to a large gas field. “If [a release] happens at the Bovanenkovskoye gas field that is only 30 kilometers away, it could lead to an accident, and the same if it happens in a village,” Russian scientist Plekhanov told Nature.
Photos of supposed UFOs abound. Most of the time they show dark stains or bright dots in the sky, of varying dimension and quality, which could be due to a lot of things: military aircrafts, weather balloons, birds, meteors, etc. Sometimes the UFO is well focused, but the flying saucer always looks suspiciously similar to a pan lid suspended from a thread or a lamp holder or a wheel cap thrown in the air. And of course today the possibilities for digitally retouching an image are endless.
What are lacking, however, are credible photos of the creatures that should be flying these UFOs—the actual aliens or extraterrestrials. It appears there are no more than fifty such photos shot in the past eighty years, but once you take out those plainly fake and the more suspicious looking ones all you are left with are about ten photos. These are, essentially, “mug shots” of wanted extraterrestrials. Here is my personal list of the best (or worst) photos of aliens.
10. High Bridge, New Jersey (August 2, 1956)
Howard Menger was a well-known American contactee who claimed he had met extraterrestrials throughout his whole life. He detailed in his books his chats with friendly Adamski-like Venusian “space brothers” who also gave him a wife and took him on their bases on the Moon and on Venus. This is one of the photos that he took of his ET friends; interestingly, in his photos the aliens are always dark shapes illuminated from behind. They almost look like Menger’s mother or wife coming out in the porch at night with a flashlight in hand, calling for that weird Howard, always lost in his UFO dreams.
9. Lossiemouth, Scotland (1954)
Cedric Allingham was an amateur ornithologist who was looking for birds in the North of Scotland when he saw a flying saucer descend to the earth. One of the occupants exited the spaceship and walked up to him. The alien told him he was coming from Mars and, after a little chat, left. Precisely in that moment, Cedric took this picture. Well, yes, the beanpole here looks more like a janitor or a plumber than an extraterrestrial. However, it was later suspected that Cedric Allingham never existed and that the photo was circulated by Patrick Moore, an astronomer well known for his pranks.
8. Carp, Ontario, Canada (August 15, 1991)
The photo of this alien “entity” was supposedly taken along with the film of a UFO landing. The fact that nobody knows who took the photo or the film, both sent by an unknown person calling him or herself “Guardian” to Tom Theofanous, a Canadian UFOlogist, does not help in taking the photo seriously. Other messages sent by “Guardian” describing a “conspiracy between the Chinese and Grey Aliens planning to take over the world” did little to increase its credibility.
7. Alaska (1930s)
This seems to be the most ancient of the lot, even if it was seen for the first time in 2003. The anonymous source claims that his grandfather took the picture seventy years before in Alaska and gave it to him the day before he died. Nothing is known about the photographer, the location, or the date of the photo. Some thought that since the little man seems to be leaning on one side it might actually be a dummy. What is more suspicious, however, is the fact that with the original source “conveniently” dead exactly one day after his revelation (isn’t that a little too trite?), all possibilities of verifying the story are defunct.
6. Falkville, Alabama (October 17, 1973)
That night, police chief Jeff Greenhaw received a phone call from an excited lady who said that she had witnessed a “spaceship” land in an open field not far from the town proper. The sheriff took off with a camera and found a “tinfoil alien” who consented to be photographed but then ran away. The ridicule that the whole story brought on the sheriff’s office cost Greenhaw his job as well as his wife. Some think that he may have encountered someone wearing a fireman’s asbestos suit; others, however, think that the being in the suit was a friend of Greenhaw and that the whole thing was an attempt to get famous that went terribly wrong.
5. Ilkley Moor, England (December 1, 1987)
Taken by ex-policeman Philip Spencer, the photo seems to show an alien examining the bleak moor. Too bad the picture is taken from so far away and is so out of focus it is devoid of any discernible detail. But wait, Spencer also has a story that he was later able to remember (thanks to regressive hypnosis) about him being abducted by the aliens, taken on a spaceship, brought to space, shown a couple of movies about the destruction of Earth, and then returned to the moor. Unfortunately, no photos of the spaceship or close-ups of the aliens were taken.
4. Wiesbaden, Germany (April, 1950)
This picture, undoubtedly one of the best, was found in 1977 among the documents made public by the FBI on request of the UFO Information Network. The photo seems to show an alien, with an odd breathing tube in its mouth, being escorted by two uniformed agents. Presumably the alien was captured alive after falling to the ground with his spaceship. A great photo! Too bad that in 1981 German journalist Klaus Webner discovered that it was actually an April Fool’s hoax made by photographer Hans Scheffler, who airbrushed an image of his five-year-old son Peter holding hands with two real soldiers. The photo had been published in the German newspaper Wiesbadener Tagblatt on April 1, 1950, and was later revealed to be a joke.
3. Cologne, Germany (April 1, 1950)
This is even better, but the day on which it was taken clearly gives away its true origin. Published by German photo magazine Neue Illustrierte, it was a crude photomontage part of a page devoted to the Aztec Saucer Crash hoax of 1948, the same episode (Roswell was still not popular back then) that inspired the Wiesbaden hoax. Incredibly, some uninformed UFOlogists still take both pictures as real proof of aliens.
2. South of Laredo, TX (July 7, 1948)
This one, purportedly showing the remains of a large headed alien (known among UFO buffs as “Tomato Man”), has often been shown as proof that aliens actually crashed with their UFOs on Earth. A more careful examination, however, reveals that the picture displays the remains of a human pilot perished in a plane crash. The human nature of the body is clearly revealed by the frames of a pair of eyeglasses near the right shoulder, while the earthly origin of the vehicle is shown by a close scrutiny of the structural remains: conductor cables, a six-sided hex nut, tubular piping, angle iron, and many welded areas all look man-made, and the welds conform to standard procedures of the time.
1. Solway Firth, England (May 24, 1964)
This is probably the most intriguing photo of them all. Jim Templeton, a retired fireman, was taking pictures of his daughter on the Solway Marshes in Cumbria, north of England, but when he had them developed he found that behind the girl was a big, tall fellow in what looked like a white “spaceman” suit. He was quite sure that there was no one there when he took the photo. The case quickly became an international affair and so far no one has been able to explain the photo. Templeton, who later said he received a visit from two “men in black” who claimed to be from the government, was also known for his practical jokes. Could the photo be one of those jokes? Or maybe someone in the processing lab, knowing Jim’s penchant for tricks, decided to tamper with the film and play one on him? But then, perhaps because the image immediately received world-wide fame and Templeton’s daughter was bullied and had to be taken out of school for a while, it became embarrassing for Jim or anybody else to confess the hoax? We don’t know and will never know now that Jim Templeton is dead. There are many other instances, however, in which phenomena that started as jokes quickly got out of hand: think of the Fox sisters tricking their parents with an apple bumped on the floor and inadvertently starting Spiritualism, or the two little girls in Cottingley who photographed “fairies” (that were thought to be real by none other than Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) and waited sixty years before confessing. Maybe things went the same way with the Solway Spaceman. It would have been typical. A typical case of UFOolery.

Aliens invade Cali?
Malibu, Calif., could soon supplant Roswell, N.M., as the extraterrestrial capital of the world, if New York City UFO crusader Michael C. Luckman has his way.
Luckman wants to explore an alleged underwater alien base located six miles off of Malibu’s Point Dume in the Pacific Ocean that he calls “the Holy Grail for UFO believers.”
The alien advocate, whose business partners helped arrange financing for the various Woodstock festivals, is also hoping to stage a UFO Woodstock concert in Malibu to make contact with alien visitors by using underwater speakers and lasers.
Celebrities who are being issued invitations to join the mission include true believer Shirley MacLaine; Russell Crowe, who once tweeted a UFO photograph he took outside his office in Sydney, Australia; and “Star Trek” icon William Shatner, who is working on a nonfiction book about late Harvard University psychiatrist Dr. John Mack, a pioneer in alien abduction research.
Among the rock stars being invited to perform at Luckman’s out-of-this-world Woodstock are alleged UFO eyewitnesses Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Sting and KISS’s Ace Frehley, as well as Yoko Ono, whose late husband, John Lennon, reportedly encountered a flying saucer outside a Manhattan penthouse.
There is a video at the source link. Had trouble embedding it here.

Michael C. Luckman, director of the New York Center for Extraterrestrial Research, specializes in celebrity UFO sightings and extraterrestrial encounters. His book titled Alien Rock: The Rock ‘n’ Roll Extraterrestrial Connection is filled with such stories. Now, Luckman is inviting celebrities to both attend and participate in his latest venture.
As The Huffington Post explains, Internet radio show Fade to Black host Jimmy Church says that one of his listeners contacted him in May 2014 with a Google Earth image showing strange underwater topography off the coast of Malibu. And some assert that this anomaly is an underwater alien base. Luckman sees this area as “the Holy Grail for UFO believers,” and he wants to explore it.

The New York Post‘s gossip column, Page Six, explains, “The alien advocate, whose business partners helped arrange financing for the various Woodstock festivals, is also hoping to stage a UFO Woodstock concert in Malibu to make contact with alien visitors by using underwater speakers and lasers.” According to Page Six, Luckman is inviting Shirley MacLaine, Russell Crowe, and William Shatner. Musicians reportedly being invited are Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Sting, Ace Frehley, and Yoko Ono.
Many musicians have reported UFO encounters. In 2013, Open Minds’ Spacing Out! team went to the Vans Warped Tour to talk with musicians about extraterrestrials and UFOs. Several of the musicians interviewed there admitted to having personal UFO experiences.
It is unclear when Luckman’s event will take place, or if extraterrestrials will like the music performed. But it should be noted that experts believe the unusual topography off the coast of Malibu is nothing more than a natural formation.
PHOTO OF STRANGE “FIERY” OBJECT SIGHTED IN NIGHT SKY.
Description: I saw a giant sized object in the sky. It was changing direction, had black, fire and golden light. It reflected light, looked like it was on fire or giving off radiation.
Response From Witness Regarding Investigator Questions: This is a real photo. I couldn’t believe what came out. The sighting lasted about about 4 to 5 minutes. The changed direction and hovered. It was a boomerang shape. It looks like it was on fire or had a golden glow of light. It fell from the sky at first then it came by the road. As it was passing me I snapped the shot and blew it up. It has red radiation around it. The sightings was at 12:00 midnight, 8/1/14 in Murrieta, CA on Whitewood Road to behind Vista School in a field. This picture is not what I saw. It was a very large object. I saw it from a distance until it got very close. It was possibly moving very fast. It had golden, black, beam lights. It looked it was emitting radiation or was on fire. Tell me if you need anything else. The movement was very slow, but came very fast to the road with a bunch cars. The object changed direction and it came slowly above my car and changed direction.
These strange lines are found at coordinates: 40°27’28.56″N, 93°23’34.42″E. There isn’t much information available on these strange, yet beautiful mosaic lines carved in the desert of the Gansu Sheng province in Chine.
Some records indicate they were created in 2004, but nothing seems official. Of note, these lines are somewhat near the Mogao Caves, which is a World Heritage Site. The lines span a very huge distance and yet still retain their linear proportions despite the curvature of the rough terrain.
Unexplained stone doll
The July 1889 find in Nampa, Idaho, of a small human figure during a well-drilling operation caused intense scientific interest last century. Unmistakably made by human hands, it was found at a depth of 320 feet which would place its age far before the arrival of man in this part of the world.
The find has never been challenged except to say that it was impossible. creationism.org
The first stone calendar
In the Sahara Desert in Egypt lie the oldest known astronomically aligned stones in the world: Nabta. Over one thousand years before the creation of Stonehenge, people built a stone circle and other structures on the shoreline of a lake that has long since dried up. Over 6,000 years ago, stone slabs three meters high were dragged over a kilometer to create the site. Shown above is one of the stones that remains. Although at present the western Egyptian desert is totally dry, this was not the case in the past. There is good evidence that there were several humid periods in the past (when up to 500 mm of rain would fall per year) the most recent one during the last interglacial and early last glaciation periods which stretched between 130,000 and 70,000 years ago.
During this time, the area was a savanna and supported numerous animals such as extinct buffalo and large giraffes, varieties of antelope and gazelle. Beginning around the 10th millennium BC, this region of the Nubian Desert began to receive more rainfall, filling a lake. Early people may have been attracted to the region due to the source of water. Archaeological findings may indicate human occupation in the region dating to at least somewhere around the 10th and 8th millennia BC.
300 million year old iron screw
In the summer of 1998, Russian scientists who were investigating an area 300 th km southwest of Moscow on the remains of a meteorite, discovered a piece of rock which enclosed an iron screw. Geologists estimate that the age of the rock is 300-320 million years.
At that time there were not only intelligent life forms on earth, not even dinosaurs. The screw which is clearly visible in the head and nut, has a length of about cm and a diameter of about three millimeters.
Ancient rocket ship
This ancient cave painting from Japan is dated to be more than 5000 BC.
Sliding stones
Even NASA cannot explain it. It’s best to gaze in wonder at the sliding rocks on this dry lake bed in Death Valley National Park. Racetrack Playa is almost completely flat, 2.5 miles from north to south and 1.25 miles from east to west, and covered with cracked mud.
The rocks, some weighing hundreds of pounds, slide across the sediment, leaving furrows in their wakes, but no one has actually witnessed it.
Pyramid power
Teotihuacan, Mexico. Embedded in the walls of this ancient Mexican city are large sheets of mica. The closest place to quarry mica is located in Brazil, thousands of miles away. Mica is now used in technology and energy production so the question raised is why did the builders go to such extremes to incorporate this mineral into the building of their city.
Were these ancient architects harnessing some long forgotten source of energy in order to power their city?
Dog Deaths
Dog suicides at The Overtoun Bridge, near Milton, Dumbarton, Scotland. Built in 1859, the Overtoun Bridge has become famous for the number of unexplained instances in which dogs have apparently committed suicide by leaping off of it.
The incidents were first recorded around the 1950′s or 1960′s when it was noticed that dogs – usually the long-nosed variety like Collies – would suddenly and unexpectedly leap off the bridge and fall fifty feet to their deaths
Fossilized giant
The fossilized Irish giant from 1895 is over 12 feet tall. The giant was discovered during a mining operation in Antrim, Ireland. This picture is courtesy “the British Strand magazine of December 1895″ Height, 12 foot 2 inches; girth of chest, 6 foot 6 inches; length of arms 4 foot 6 inches. There are six toes on the right foot
The six fingers and toes remind some people of Bible passage 2 Samuel 21:20 ”And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant”
Pyramid of Atlantis?
Scientists continues to explore the ruins of megaliths in the so-called Yucatan channel near Cuba. They have been found for many miles along the coast. American archaeologists, who discovered this place, immediately declared that they found Atlantis (not the first time in history, underwater archaeology).
Now it’s occasionally visited by scuba divers, and all other interested can enjoy only in surveying and computer reconstruction of the buried water city of a millennium age.

Nevada Indian legend of 12 foot red-haired giants that lived in the area when they arrived. The story has the Native American’s killing off the giants at a cave. Excavations of guano in 1911 turned up this human jaw. Here it is compared to a casting of a normal man’s jawbone.
In 1931 two skeletons were found in a lake bed. One was 8′ tall, the other just under 10′ tall.
Inexplicable Wedge
On the bank of Mures River in Transylvania, near the city of Aiud, in 1974, an aluminum wedge was found among 20,000 year-old Mastdon bones, encased in one millimeter thick layer of oxides that shows it to be at least 300-400 years old. Aluminum is always found mixed with other metals but it was pure aluminum.
This 300 year old artifact is anomalous because aluminium was not discovered until 1808 and not produced in quantity until 1885. It’s still under research at an undisclosed location.
Lolladoff plate
‘The Lolladoff plate’ is a 12,000 year old stone dish found in Nepal. It seems that Egypt is not the only place that has been visited by Aliens in ancient times. It clearly shows a disk shaped UFO. There is also a figure on the disc looking remarkably similar to a Grey alien.
Graancirkel in vorm van pentagram trekt veel bekijks
Graancirkel in vorm van pentagram trekt veel bekijks
In het Engelse graafschap Gloucestershire is een 60 meter grote graancirkel in de vorm van een pentagram verschenen. Boer Henry Arden was in eerste instantie boos, maar moet nu bekennen dat hij bewondering heeft voor het geometrische patroon in zijn weiland. Kort nadat foto’s van de graanformatie op internet begonnen te circuleren, werd de graancirkel in de buurt van Tetbury overspoeld door enthousiaste bezoekers.
Een Frans gezelschap reisde per bus af naar het graafschap en was bereid voor het bezoek te betalen. Een cameraploeg uit Lyon filmde de formatie voor Discovery Channel. Het pentagram, dat veelvuldig wordt gebruikt binnen het paganisme, de wicca en andere religies, lijkt een rustgevende invloed te hebben gehad op boer Arden. Zijn vriendin Sarah Jennings had hem tijdelijk verlaten na een ruzie, maar sinds het verschijnen van de graancirkel zijn de twee weer bij elkaar.
Arden gelooft niet in mystieke krachten en denkt niet dat graancirkels worden gemaakt door buitenaardsen. Wel vindt hij ze er prachtig uitzien. Toen hij een helikopter in de buurt zag wist hij dat er iets aan de hand was. Op dat moment ontdekte hij de graancirkel in zijn weiland.
De graanformatie ligt op enkele kilometers van landgoed Highgrove van prins Charles. De prins gaf ooit te kennen dat hij geïnteresseerd was in het mysterieuze fenomeen. Naast Gloucestershire zijn er recentelijk ook graancirkels verschenen in Hampshire en Wiltshire.
Het mysterie van de Nazcalijnen in de woestijn van Peru is nog altijd niet opgelost. Als gevolg van zandstormen zijn nog onontdekte patronen blootgelegd in het woestijnzand. Een piloot ontdekte een geoglief in de vorm van een 60 meter grote slang. Hij zag ook een tekening die bestaat uit een lama en een onbekende vogel.
De nieuwe lijnen maken onderdeel uit van een bestaande verzameling tekeningen van onder andere een hond, een kolibrie, gier en een aap, die vermoedelijk tussen de eerste en de zesde eeuw zijn gemaakt door de Nazca-indianen.
Piloot Eduardo Herrán Gómez de la Torre stuitte op het lijnenspel toen hij over de heuvels van de El Ingenio-vallei en Pampas de Jumana vloog, zo meldt de krant El Comercio. Archeologen doen onderzoek naar de authenticiteit van de lijnen.
De geogliefen, beter bekend als de Nazcalijnen, werden in 1939 voor het eerst gespot toen een piloot over de hooglanden aan de Peruaanse kust vloog. In 1994 heeft de Unesco de lijnen toegevoegd aan de officiële Werelderfgoedlijst. De lijnenspellen strekken zich uit over een gebied van 80 kilometer tussen Nazca en Palpa, 400 kilometer ten zuiden van Lima.
Al decennia zijn de Nazcalijnen in mysterie gehuld. Volgens één theorie zouden de geogliefen verband houden met water. Een driehoekige geoglief aan de voet van de berg Cerro Blanco loopt langs het water, terwijl een tekening van een gier wordt gelinkt aan een lokale legende. Als de gier over de bergt vliegt zal ‘zware regenval volgen’, aldus de legende.
Alle tekeningen, die ook op het aardewerk van de Nazca-indianen zijn gevonden, bestaan naar verluidt uit één enkele lijn. Professor Clive Ruggles van de Universiteit van Leicester zei dat één van de geometrische vormen waarschijnlijk een labyrint is geweest dat dienst deed als ‘spiritueel pad’.
De reusachtige figuren van honderden dieren en complexe doolhoven in de Nazcawoestijn kunnen alleen goed worden gezien vanuit de lucht. Er zijn twee verschillende soorten Nazcalijnen. De ene groep bestaat uit zo’n 70 tekeningen van natuurlijke objecten, zoals dieren, vogels en insecten. Andere lijnen vormen spiralen, driehoeken en vierkanten.

UFO mania: Alien Star Map Found In Kupang, Indonesia?
UFO mania: Alien Star Map Found In Kupang, Indonesia?
New photographs have emerged which apparently show Alien artifacts. The pictures released show two strange rocks fused together that contain strange symbols and carvings.
What’s more extraordinary is that the rocks are engraved with a star map, very similar to the plaque that was designed by Carl Sagan and Frank Drake, and was placed on-board the Pioneer 10 probe, launched in 1972.
The rocks also have a magnetic field, which seems to emanate from the rocks when they are near any electric or electronic apparatus, Did an Extraterrestrial explorer leave a calling card behind?

Nasa validates 'impossible' space drive
Nasa validates 'impossible' space drive
August 4, 2014- Nasa is a major player in space science, so when a team from the agency this week presents evidence that "impossible" microwave thrusters seem to work, something strange is definitely going on. Either the results are completely wrong, or Nasa has confirmed a major breakthrough in space propulsion.
British scientist Roger Shawyer has been trying to interest people in his EmDrive for some years through his company SPR Ltd. Shawyer claims the EmDrive converts electric power into thrust, without the need for any propellant by bouncing microwaves around in a closed container. He has built a number of demonstration systems, but critics reject his relativity-based theory and insist that, according to the law of conservation of momentum, it cannot work.
According to good scientific practice, an independent third party needed to replicate Shawyer's results. As Wired.co.uk reported, this happened last year when a Chinese team built its own EmDrive and confirmed that it produced 720 mN (about 72 grams) of thrust, enough for a practical satellite thruster. Such a thruster could be powered by solar electricity, eliminating the need for the supply of propellant that occupies up to half the launch mass of many satellites. The Chinese work attracted little attention; it seems that nobody in the West believed in it.
However, a US scientist, Guido Fetta, has built his own propellant-less microwave thruster, and managed to persuade Nasa to test it out. The test results were presented on July 30 at the 50th Joint Propulsion Conference in Cleveland, Ohio. Astonishingly enough, they are positive.
The Nasa team based at the Johnson Space Centre gave its paper the title "Anomalous Thrust Production from an RF [radio frequency] Test Device Measured on a Low-Thrust Torsion Pendulum". The five researchers spent six days setting up test equipment followed by two days of experiments with various configurations. These tests included using a "null drive" similar to the live version but modified so it would not work, and using a device which would produce the same load on the apparatus to establish whether the effect might be produced by some effect unrelated to the actual drive. They also turned the drive around the other way to check whether that had any effect.
EmDrive:China's radical new spacedrive
Back in the 90s, Nasa tested what was claimed to be an antigravity device based on spinning superconducting discs. That was reported to give good test results, until researchers realised that interference from the device was affecting their measuring instruments.
NASA says `impossible` space propulsion technology really works Monday, 4 August 2014 - 10:55am IST Place:WASHINGTON Agency: ANI Tweet Researchers at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston have revealed that a microwave thruster system that requires no propellant...
In the late 60s, a mysterious creature known as Mothman terrorized Point Pleasant, WV. In this clip, shot exclusively to field test new video equipment used in Planet Weird, Greg and Dana take a midnight adventure to the secluded TNT bunkers where the monster is alleged to have made its home.
A UFO video captured in Milan, Italy on July 6, is making the rounds in the media. It appears to be a group of bright sparkly objects in the sky. The video is titled, “AMAZING! INCREDIBLE EBANI ON MILAN!! | SUNDAY 6 JULY 2014.” EBANI stands for Entidad Biological Anomalous No Identificada, or its English translation, Unidentified Anomalous Biological Entity, indicating that the man who videoed the object believes the UFO is a living being.
The video (seen above) was posted on YouTube on July 10, 2014. The description simply says, “Looking to the 3:53 ‘, recorded with Canon EOS 60D!!!”
The man who recorded the object is no stranger to UFO videos. His name is Antonio Urzi, and is known for having captured hundreds of pictures and videos of UFOs from the skylight in his apartment in Milan. Many of his images appear too good to be true, which causes many to question their veracity. Some have claimed that many of his pictures and video are actually objects he places on his skylight window and films from below making them appear to be UFOs in the sky.
A UFO video sent to Openminds.tv by Urzi in April, 2010:
Often, skeptics note that there are rarely other people who claim to see these spectacular objects flying just over the city.
However, there are many others who believe Urzi is the real deal. One of those people is Mexican journalist and UFO researcher Jaime Maussan. In March, 2010, Maussan held the World UFO Summit in Mexico City. One of the speakers was Urzi. Several times, outside of the conference, Urzi pointed up in the sky and claimed to see UFOs. I, along with my colleague Antonio Huneeus, were present with him on a couple of those occasions and saw the objects ourselves.
UFO photo taken over the World Trade Center in Mexico City in March, 2010. The objects were first spotted by Antonio Urzi. (Credit: Paola Harris).
The objects appeared to be small white orbs and sometimes traveled in groups. Waiting outside with a camera to see if I could spot one of these UFOs on my own, I was able to see a few of these objects. I actually caught one or two on video myself.
However, I think what I was seeing was balloons. They sell balloons on practically every street corner in Mexico City and many of them are the shiny silver Mylar type, which would appear like what I got in the video.
During that conference, a few of the Mexican UFO researchers showed videos of what they called EBANI. They explained that these were UFOs that were often long and moved strangely. They believed they were actual biological entities. They admitted that some of them looked like balloons, but that they moved in such strange ways that they could not have been merely balloons.
Is it possible that Urzi caught a string of balloons glistening in the sky in this latest viral UFO video? Or like some suggest, does Urzi have an uncanny ability to know when extraterrestrials will be flying by or purposely making their presence known? Take a look at this and other videos from Urzi on his YouTube channel and let us know what you think.
Recipient of MUFON's 2012 "Ufologist of the Year" award
Debunkers have had a field day with the Betty and Barney Hill UFO experience, disseminating so much false and misleading information over the past 45 years that most people have difficulty differentiating fact from fiction in this first publicized UFO close encounter and alien abduction. In her totally new PowerPoint Presentation, Kathleen Marden, their niece, takes on the pseudo-skeptics’ false claims and sets the record straight time and time again by presenting true verifiable evidence that proves the debunkers are wrong.
Kathleen Marden earned her B.A. in social work at the University of New Hampshire in 1971. Thereafter, she entered into graduate studies in Education at the University of Cincinnati. She began her professional career as a social worker and eventually entered the field of education as a teacher. Later, she was promoted to a supervisory position, coordinating education programs and supervising education staff. She left her job in 1990 to pursue a career as a UFO investigator, researcher and writer. She taught adult education classes on UFO and abduction history, and for 10 years volunteered as MUFON’s Director of Field Investigator Training. In 2003, MUFON publicly recognized Kathleen for her most outstanding contribution of advancing the scientific study of the UFO phenomenon by dedicating the MUFON UFO proceedings to her. Kathleen is currently a full time writer and lecturer. Her 2007 book Captured! The Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experience, with coauthor Stanton T. Friedman, is a case study of Betty and Barney Hills’ 1961 UFO close encounter and abduction. Her new and exciting book with coauthor Stanton T. Friedman, Science Was Wrong is now available. www.kathleen-marden.com
Alexander’s presentation will include an insider’s view of how the U.S. government deals with UFOs and other phenomena with detailed explanation about specific events. While supporting the physical reality of UFOs, he will discuss some of the myths that have been built up over time. Noting that real disclosure has happened yet gone unnoticed, Alexander will examine disclosure and address its actual confirmation.
John Alexander is a retired U.S. Army Colonel and a leading advocate for the development of non-lethal weapons. For the first time anywhere his new book, UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies, and Realities, which provides a government insider’s look at the UFO phenomena, will be available. In his book, Alexander discusses the organization he created while on active duty to explore this topic. Comprised of members across the Department of Defense and aerospace industries, Alexander was surprised at what he learned when he briefed the leaders of many of these agencies. A very important aspect of this book is a description of how government agencies really work, and how an individual’s belief system impacts the organization’s operations. www.johnbalexander.com
The Canadian province of Saskatchewan is rife with UFO sightings.
UFO researcher Chris Rutkowski from the group UFOlogy Research told Canadian daily newspaperMetro, “Saskatchewan is very well represented in UFO reports over the past number of years.”
UFOlogy Research compiles UFO sighting data to publish an annual Canadian UFO Survey. The 2013 Canadian UFO Survey showed that more than forty percent of Canada’s 2013 UFO reports were in the province of Ontario. And the typical sighting lasted approximately thirteen minutes. But the most interesting detail reveled by the 2013 data was that approximately fourteen percent of Canada’s 2013 UFO reports were classified as unexplained.
Rutkowski recently informed Metro that the UFOlogy Research is currently working on a special Canadian UFO Survey report that will detail UFO sightings in Canada spanning the last twenty-five years. Although the group hopes to release this study within the next month, Rutkowski revealed to Metro, “Throughout the past 25 years, there are almost 700 UFO reports from Saskatchewan alone . . . That’s a little less than 5 per cent of the total number of cases in Canada.”
Here is an interactive map that allows you to explore where UFO sightings in Saskatchewan took place in 2013.
Rutkowski is searching for answers to explain these UFOs. As Metro reports, he views his search as an “interesting detective challenge” trying to identify unusual aerial objects. He explains, “In a small proportion of cases, a few per cent every year, we can’t come up with an explanation, and those are the ones that really fascinate us.”

Witness said: In the early morning went out on a balcony to breathe crisp air, something pushed on an idea to take picture sky. Did 2 pictures with a difference in 5-6 sec, then noticed a quickly retiring object which had time to get on these 2 pictures. Noise and high light was not observed. Round an object there is discharged of air, like plasma.
Haslett, MI – 7/31/2014: We have a game camera that we put up to observe the deer across the street from our house. My husband brought the disk in on Sunday which contained approximately 120 pictures over a 4 day period. On July 31 at 11:00pm beginning picture number 34, we had three pictures of 6 bright lights, all the same size and in a perfectly straight line, in the air. The lights stayed exactly the same except changed in height. The camera is motion activated and is set to take 3 consecutive shots and then go into a 5 minute timeout. In the next shot after the timeout the lights were no longer visible. We have had this camera up over the last 3 years and have never gotten anything even close to this. There was a deer in the shot which seemed to be running off. The camera faces an old driving range, so there are no roads or buildings that would be in the picture. – MUFON CMS
A man clutching an axe inside an old military frigate doesn’t make for your typical ghost story, nor does it make typical fodder for an internet hoax.
But a photograph showing a ghostly figure with an axe in his hand aboard a decommissioned military vessel on a dry dock has gained a lot of traction on social media sites.
Stevgoldhound, who posted the picture on Imgur yesterday, claims it was taken by a colleague of his called John who works as a dock foreman.
John apparently took the picture while snapping work areas and navigating deep within the ship with a torch. He didn’t see anyone while taking the images.
Another user of the site cleaned up the image and came up with this. Creepy huh?
‘Ghost with axe’ spotted on military ship will freak you out
‘Due to the fact that it was a military vessel the police were called,’ Stevgoldhound wrote. ‘A search was carried out but no one was found. There was one way on and off the ship, and that was by a gangway covered by CCTV. (You couldn’t jump over the side as it was a 25 meter drop on to concrete).’
Stevgoldhound added: ‘I am a sceptic. Maybe its a trick of the flash reflecting off something, but if you really zoom in you can just make out the f—— face, ear, collar of his jacket and the f—– axe in a meaty f—— fist.
‘Now it could be John blowing smoke up my ass, but when he was telling the story he seemed genuinely rattled. And the guy in the pic looks nothing any of the other workers we met at the dock.’
What do you think? A ghost, someone who somehow snuck on the boat or something else? – Metro
NORWALK, Calif. (KABC) — A mysterious animal was caught on camera roaming the streets of Norwalk, causing concerns among some neighbors about a lion in their midst.
“It looks like a big cat, but then when you look at it again, it could be a dog. The gait, the way the animal is walking, it kind of has the characteristics of a cat, but we really don’t know at this point,” Norwalk Mayor Marcel Rodarte said.
While the experts work to identify the mystery animal, the mayor is trying to get the word out to the people living in this neighborhood to keep an eye out for small pets.
“We want to make sure that if this is a wild animal or if this is maybe a pet that someone kept illegally that people are aware to keep an eye out for it, because our goal is really to capture the animal and put it in the safe place,” Rodarte said.
Many of the neighbors said they’re scared for their pets. Others wondered what the animal might be and how it got here.
“It doesn’t belong here. What’s it doing here? There’s no mountains in the back or anything like that,” neighbor Vivian Romero said.
But others said they’ve seen it before and think it’s something far less ominous.
“It’s a big, gray dog. It looks kind of like a Rottweiler or a Pit bull and it just kind of goes through the neighborhood digging up trees and goes on about its business,” neighbor Chai Harter said. Video can be found at ABC7

I (together with 50-100 people) had witnessed a major UFO sighting in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1997, and it still mystifies me to this date. What is most surprising is that I am unable to find any reference to it on the internet and so am writing to you in the hope that you would be able to investigate.
The year was 1997 and I was doing my post-graduate studies in an internationally acclaimed institution in Lausanne that year. I am from Asia ans have since gone back to live in Asia, it was only that year that I was spending in Lausanne. It was in the later half of the year probably in Aug or Sep. It was a Saturday night, and had gone out in one part of Lausanne with some friends. I then left that part of Lausanne and was walking to another part of Lausanne where I was meeting some other friends.
Suddenly, I saw hundreds of people who had stepped out of their restaurants and looking in the sky. This was near the Lake Geneva shore and the area was an upmarket one with classy restaurants. The people witnessing this were all urban, well educated and well-off people. I looked up in the sky and saw somewhere between 15 – 20 lights hovering in the sky. They were fairly low in the sky and hence could be seen clearly, ie no room for doubt on maybe eyes playing game on us etc. The closest one could think of the lights was a formation of military aircrafts, but they couldn’t be aircrafts because they were just stationary and making no sound. As I mentioned, it was so unique that people eating in many restaurants there had all come out of their restaurants half way through their meal to witness this. After a few mins, the lights moved up into the sky very quickly and disappeared in the same formation, perfectly synchronised. I myself am a well educated person in senior management, and not one prone to believing in unexplained phenomena. This was a very clear incident of unidentified flying object with no room for doubt.
Unfortunately, none of my friends were there. I expected this to be reported in the newspapers next day. But the newspapers were all in French and I don’t know French at all. I asked some of my friends who knew French whether anything was mentioned in the newspapers, and they said no. Those days of course, the internet was just in its infancy.
For years now, every now and then, I search the internet to see if this has been highlghted anywhere, especially in specialist ufo sites like yours, but surprise not to find anything. I am hoping you have associates in Lausanne, Switzerland who are able to talk to the locals there and find out. This took place in an area called Ouchy, that is just by the lakeside. There are a clutch of restaurants on Avenue Willaim Fraise very close to the Movenpick Hotel. – MUFON CMS
On a winter’s night in 1952, it was pandemonium at a Girls Club when they all saw a Flying Saucer. I was eleven years old when this happened,” Diane says. Diane was leaving the Binghamton Girls Club at approximately 9 p.m., in February 1952. The facility was located intersection of Frederick and Liberty streets in Binghamton, NY. The girls had just been dismissed for the evening, so the front yard was full of girls age 9-16, about 45-60 in number, all heading for home. Diane was fascinated by the night sky and the beautiful stars so she was constantly looking up at them. The winter sky that evening was crystal clear, so she took advantage of the opportunity to look around. To the west she saw the moon as a simple crescent. As she glanced toward the southeast sky, she saw something odd and interesting. “It looked like a shark’s fin at first… I may have been the first to notice the thing.” She says.
Diane described the object as self-illuminated; “It had a harvest moon orange color sort of appearance. No other lights were visible.” She explains that the object drew closer and enlarged in size,”then it flipped or sort of rolled over, I saw this whole thing very clearly, when it sort of turned over or revolved horizontally it appeared as a disk and approached us very quickly and stopped in the sky about 45 degrees up from the south horizon.” Diane says the object was totally silent. She further states that it was like an orange football or blimp shape with portholes around the middle, and it appeared solid. “I had the distinct feeling that we were being observed or scanned or something. It was a very oppressive feeling I had never experienced before. When someone yelled”it’s a flying saucer” it started a stampede back into the Girl’s Club door, if you can imagine a large number of teen-age girls all trying to get back into a small door all at once.”
Inside the girls club the group of teens were yelling at the two women directors, telling them that a flying saucer was outside. The staffer reluctantly went outside for a look. By this time the craft had moved to the southeast and it quickly moved away in an apparent straight line becoming quickly smaller to an orange point of light and disappeared. The director of girls club in an effort to calm the frightened youngsters told them simply.”It’s the moon.” Diane tells us that she objected to the trite explanation, telling the director “no.” She pointed to the moon setting in the western sky. The director paid no attention to what the eleven year old had to say about it. Diane tells us that she did check the local newspaper the next day but couldn’t find a report of the event. Finally Diane tells us that for her it was a life changing experience, “I entered The University of Michigan as an astronomy major in 1958, as a direct result of fascination based on this event.”
A Manitoba, Canada witness at Birds Hill reported waking during the night while camping as a bright blue light filled his tent, according to August 4, 2014 testimony in Case 58629 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was camping alone on the night of July 31 to August 1, 2014, and recalls waking near 3 a.m.
The witness later recalled a ‘small hooded figure at the end of my campsite.’ Pictured: Birds Hill. (Credit: Google)
“My tent was filled by a bright light that started off whitish but changed to bright blue,” the witness stated. “It was shining through the tent from the outside. I do not remember hearing anything, but I remember feeling strange and disoriented.”
The witness says he returned to sleep at that point.
“I did not have the urge to leave my tent, just to close my eyes and hope it went away. I woke up again, I am not sure how much later. I felt less disoriented and was wondering why I had woken earlier.”
Then the witness had memories from the event.
“I then remembered the blue light and I then had a memory of a small hooded figure at the edge of my campsite. When I noticed it, it flashed closer to me without walking. I have no memory of a craft or anything else, but I have had sightings in the past.”
The witness has no memory of a UFO – just a blue light filling his tent followed by memories of a small hooded figure. Pictured: Birds Hill. (Credit: Google)
Birds Hill is a community in the Canadian province of Manitoba located a few kilometers northeast of Winnipeg. MUFON Canada is investigating.
A report was submitted to the MUFON CMS in reference to an anomaly seen on Google Earth over Yellowstone National Park. The only statement offered was:
I was moving from frame to frame on google earth when i found these photos. I dont know if they are ufo's or what they are.
Are these birds, drones, or anomalous? Or, another lens flare? They almost look like that big hoax from California in 2007-2008 The Caret Drone? (pictured below)
So....what is it? Who knows...but it does have a 'manufactured' look to it. Lon
Engineers from the space agency managed to produce tiny amounts of thrust using a microwave engine design that could turn space travel on its head
In a quiet announcement that has sent shockwaves through the scientific world, Nasa has cautiously given its seal of approval to a new type of “impossible” space engine that could revolutionize space travel.
In a paper published by the agency’s experimental Eagleworks Laboratories, Nasa engineers confirmed that they had produced tiny amounts of thrust from an engine without propellant – an apparent violation of the conservation of momentum; the law of physics that states that every action must have an equal and opposite reaction.
If further experiments continue to confirm the reality of these microwave thrusters then it could trigger a new era of space travel. Nasa’s involvement is no guarantee of success, but it does suggest that scientists are taking the possibility of ‘impossible’ engines seriously. Perhaps we should too.

Pew Research’s recent public opinion poll on technology and the future has been on my mind this week. We’ve already discussed the possibility of weather control and teleportation, but what about time travel? Only 9% of Americans polled say they want time travel technology (or, at least, that they’d prioritize it over other futuristic contraptions), which I’m initially inclined to blame on thefact that most of us didn’t grow up watching Doctor Who and don’t know how cool time travel technology can be.
As was the case with most of the other technologies discussed in the Pew study, time travel refers to something we’re already doing (albeit on an insignificant scale). Due to the effects of time dilation, astronauts and satellites already travel forward in time by tiny fractions of a second. Greenwich Royal Observatory’s Colin Stuart explains how here:
But even if we perfect and amplify this technology, it only allows time travel to the future, and where’s the fun in that? There’s little point in traveling to the future if you can’t come back to the present when you’re done. But traveling backward through time involves a lot more energy and, in Michio Kaku’s words, “punching a hole in the universe”:
A good number of scientists and inventors are trying, in various ways, to figure outhow we can travel through time—but none, as far as we know, have been successful.. Our inability to conquer time travel defines our existence as mortal beings who can only move within brief, finite periods of time—in one direction, and at or near one speed. If we ever could travel in time to change the past, it would be to the human experience what printing our own fake money would be to a game of Monopoly. It would be a game-changer—so much of one that our odds of using the technology responsibly, or even competently, would be slim. Stephen Hawking once remarked that one of the best arguments against future use of time travel is the lack of evidence for time travelers among us. It does, at least, suggest that if future generations have visited us, they had the good sense to keep it to themselves.
Even 45 years later, Buzz Aldrin has detailed memories of the Apollo 11 mission, when he became the second man to set foot on the moon.
Dishing about the moment he saw an “unidentified” object floating outside his Apollo capsule, Aldrin wrote:
“On Apollo 11 en route to the Moon, I observed a light out the window that appeared to be moving alongside us. There were many explanations of what that could be, other than another spacecraft from another country or another world — it was either the rocket we had separated from, or the 4 panels that moved away when we extracted the lander from the rocket and we were nose to nose with the two spacecraft. So in the close vicinity, moving away, were 4 panels. And I feel absolutely convinced that we were looking at the sun reflected
The ex-astronaut, who is speaking out this month ahead of the 45th anniversary of the 1969 moon landing, discussed the mission, in a Reddit-AMA on Tuesday.
Aldrin first recounted his UFO anecdote during a Science Channel program in 2005. At the time, UFO enthusiasts were apparently upset that Aldrin had not shared the information sooner.
During his Reddit AMA, Aldrin also took time to proclaim his hope that humans will travel to Mars in the near future.
"There is very little doubt, in my mind, that ... the next monumental achievement of humanity will be the first landing by an Earthling, a human being, on the planet Mars," Aldrin wrote, adding that he expects an international team to establish a presence on the red planet.
Aldrin added that a "collection of the best" individuals from around the world should land on Mars and establish a permanent settlement, rather than representatives of a private company with an eye on space tourism -- such as Elon Musk's SpaceX.
Wrote Aldrin:
I have considered whether a landing on Mars could be done by the private sector. It conflicts with my very strong idea, concept, conviction, that the first human beings to land on Mars should not come back to Earth. They should be the beginning of a build-up of a colony / settlement, I call it a "permanence." A settlement you can visit once or twice, come back, and then decide you want to settle. Same with a colony. But you want it to be permanent from the get-go, from the very first.
Should NASA send astronauts back to the moon? Aldrin said that's probably not the best use of resources. Instead, he said, the U.S. should direct its focus further into space and establish colonies and labs on Mars.

Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall, Who Is The Smartest Of The Class? Stan Or James?
1:11:27: "Well, I can say I haven't read it [James Carrion's The Rosetta Deception] and I will order it now that you tell me it is on Amazon ... when I looked the first time I couldn't find it .... the fact that there is disinformation and there has been loads of it doesn't mean it's all baloney ... the stuff about Roswell or the stuff about aliens. He and I have tangled a couple of times at meetings and he even ignored some of the data his own people had but anyway I'll write a column ... I write a monthly column for the MUFON Journal and as soon as I get the book I will read it and write a column and judging on the past unless James Carrion has changed a great deal which I doubt I think we'll find that the book itself is disinformation ... how's that for a prediction? ... I haven't really gone into any detail yet because I haven't read the book and I don't dare to [I didn't hear this part very well but I think Stan said dare to] until I read the book ... I've only gone by past history."
I will answer Stanton’s comments on the Rosetta Deception by using Stanton Friedmanisms: "Don’t bother with me the facts, my mind is made up and if you can’t attack the data, attack the person."
All of my Rosetta Deception research is based on facts that are well documented in the book. Stanton admits he hasn't yet read the book but then categorically says I am full of baloney. Stanton later says he will read the Rosetta Deception and write an article for the MUFON journal on it but then states that he “predicts the book will be disinformation.”
Astoundingly, later on in the interview when asked to offer an opinion on Stan Romanek, he says “I don’t have enough information to have a reasonable opinion”. When asked about some alleged new Roswell related material recently found in some attic, Stan states, “I don’t know enough to have an opinion” and “why should I replace facts with conjecture?” Uh? Did you not just do that Stan by calling my research baloney and disinformation when you still have not read the book?
So Stanton, here is my response to your penchant at contradicting yourself: Practice what you preach and do your homework and get your facts straight before you commit to an opinion.
The things Stanton said in the interview we can agree on and which should stick out to him when he reads the book and as he is penning his MUFON journal article:
How easy it is to keep secrets and how important “need to know” is in the intelligence community
The tremendous amounts of money earmarked for the intelligence community
Disinformation is a well-known Government activity and was used heavily in WW2
The importance of code breaking during WW2, “Thank God for Enigma and Purple”
Volgens astronomen zijn er naast de Aarde honderd miljoen andere plaatsen in de Melkweg die mogelijk leven bevatten. Ze baseren hun onderzoek op een nieuwe berekeningsmethode om informatie over planeten in andere zonnestelsels te analyseren. Dat meldt Science Daily.
De onderzoekers van de universiteiten van Cornell, Texas, Puerto Rico en Washington publiceerden hun studie in het vakblad Challenges. Nooit eerder werd een schatting gemaakt van het aantal werelden in het heelal die mogelijk complexe levensvormen huisvesten.
Ze namen meer dan duizend planeten onder de loep en pasten een formule toe die onder andere dichtheid, temperatuur, samenstelling en afstand tot de centrale ster in rekening brengt. Met de informatie die dat opleverde, ontwikkelden ze de Biological Complexity Index (BCI). Eén à twee procent van de tien miljard planeten in de Melkweg had een BCI-score die hoger was dan 'Europa', een maan van Jupiter waarvan gedacht wordt dat die ondergrondse oceanen heeft die leven kunnen bevatten. Meercellige organismen De wetenschappers benadrukken dat hun studie niet aantoont dat er leven bestaat op zoveel planeten. Wel zijn de voorwaarden vervuld die complex leven mogelijk kunnen maken. "Complex leven betekent niet hetzelfde als intelligent leven, hoewel het niet uitgesloten is", zeggen de onderzoekers. "Het gaat om meercellige organismen, groter en complexer dan microben, in verschillende vormen."
Het lijkt dus erg onwaarschijnlijk dat we alleen zijn, zeggen de onderzoekers. Maar ondanks het grote aantal planeten dat mogelijk leven huisvest, is de Melkweg zo groot dat die planeten erg ver uit elkaar liggen. Een ontmoeting met buitenaardse wezens lijkt daardoor uitgesloten.
Het dichtsbijzijnde zonnestelsel dat mogelijk leven bevat, is Gliese 581. Het heeft twee planeten die schijnbaar complexe biosferen kunnen huisvesten. De afstand van de aarde tot Gliese 581 bedraagt ongeveer twintig lichtjaren.
Wetenschappers zijn hoopvol om in de zeer nabije toekomst buitenaards leven te vinden. Maar de kans dat dat intelligent leven zal zijn, is klein, zo klonk het ruim een week geleden tijdens een paneldiscussie in het NASA-hoofdkwartier. Onderzoekers van het Harvard-Smithsonian Center of Astrophysics hebben nu een slimme manier bedacht om op zoek te gaan naar buitenaardse beschavingen: "Zoek naar industriële vervuiling in de atmosfeer van andere planeten."
Met de nieuwste generatie telescopen kunnen wetenschappers in de atmosfeer van exoplaneten zoeken naar zuurstof en methaan, die erop wijzen dat er leven is. Maar ook eenvoudige levensvormen als microben produceren die gassen. Daarom is een nieuwe benadering vereist, vinden de astrofysici van Harvard-Smithsonian.
Uit hun onderzoek, dat binnenkort in het vakblad The Astrophysical Journal verschijnt, blijkt dat het onder ideale omstandigheden mogelijk moet zijn de ecologische vingerafdruk van buitenaardse wezens waar te nemen. De James Webb Space Telescope, die in 2018 in gebruik genomen wordt, kan twee soorten chloorfluorkoolstoffen detecteren. Dat zijn chemicaliën die gebruikt worden in onder andere spuitbussen en oplosmiddelen, en die de ozon vernietigen. Een kanttekening: om deze signalen te kunnen opvangen, zouden er minimaal tien keer zoveel ozonvernietigende stoffen in de atmosfeer moeten zweven als op onze Aarde.
Bezwaren Toch zijn er ook enkele bezwaren. "We beschouwen industriële vervuiling als een teken van intelligent leven", zegt onderzoeker Henry Lin, die de studie leidde. "Maar misschien zijn deze beschavingen al verder gevorderd dan wij, en zien zij vervuiling als een teken van onintelligent leven omdat het niet slim is je eigen lucht te vervuilen."
De telescoop kan bovendien enkel vervuilende stoffen zien op een Aarde-achtige planeet die rond een witte dwergster cirkelt, een ster aan het einde van zijn levensduur. In dat scenario zijn de signalen uit de atmosfeer optimaal. Om vervuiling te vinden op een Aarde-achtige planeet die om een zonachtige ster wentelt, zou een nog krachtiger telescoop nodig zijn.
Daarnaast kunnen sommige vervuilende stoffen 50.000 jaar in de atmosfeer blijven hangen. "Wanneer die stoffen aanwezig zijn, zou dat kunnen betekenen dat de buitenaardse wezens slimmer geworden zijn en schoon schip gemaakt hebben", zeggen de onderzoekers. "Of dat ze hun eigen beschaving vernietigd hebben. In dat laatste geval is het een waarschuwing voor ons om onze eigen planeet beter te beginnen beheren."
Na een reis van meer dan tien jaar komt de Europese sonde Rosetta woensdag aan bij de komeet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko met aan boord ook Belgisch instrumentarium en Belgische know-how, zo heeft het Belgisch Instituut voor Ruimte-Aëronomie (BIRA) vandaag meegedeeld.
De Rosetta van het Europees Ruimtevaartbureau ESA vertrok op 2 maart 2004 met een Ariane-raket en legde al meer dan 6,4 miljard km af. Technici hebben de snelheid van de onbemande sonde ondertussen afgeremd tot zowat 2.800 km per uur voor het rendez-vous tot 100 km afstand van de komeet. Bedoeling is informatie te vergaren over het gedrag en de samenstelling van het hemellichaam, wat meer moet leren over het ontstaan van ons zonnestelsel.
Een komeet is een hemellichaam dat zich in een baan rond de Zon bevindt en enkele kilometer groot is. Een komeet kan gezien worden als een vuile sneeuwbal die ijs en stof bevat. Dicht bij de zon warmt deze vuile sneeuwbal op, zodat gas en stof vrijkomen, en een atmosfeer vormen. De typische komeetstaart ontstaat door de wisselwerking van dat gas en stof met de zon.
Haltervorm
Wetenschappers van het BIRA zijn vooral geïnteresseerd in de komeetatmosfeer. Daartoe heeft het federaal instituut op het plateau van Ukkel onder leiding van de universiteit van Bern en samen met andere internationale partners het ROSINA (Rosetta Orbiter Spectrometer for Ion and Neutral Analysis) instrument gebouwd. Dit zal de samenstelling van de komeetatmosfeer meten. De processen daar zijn ook belangrijk in de hoge aardatmosfeer.
Sinds eind juni 2014 stuurt Rosetta reeds beelden van de komeet door en die waren volgens het BIRA al een revelatie op zich: de komeet blijkt een haltervorm te hebben. Ondertussen kan men ook al lichtverstrooiing in de ijle komeetatmosfeer waarnemen.
Van industriële zijde zijn de Belgische bedrijven Thales Alenia Space Belgium, Amos, Nexans Harnesses, Logica, Spacebel en Rhea bij Rosetta betrokken.
De sonde zal later ook de lander Philae naar het komeetoppervlak sturen, een primeur in de ruimtevaart.
Mysterious sounds have been heard booming from the sky all around the world – in some cases they were so loud they set off car alarms. The unsettling noises were heard recently from Europe to Canada, sounding like groans and powerful horns. In Germany noises coming from the sky were recorded on a video camera and uploaded to YouTube, with car alarms clearly heard going off in the background.
Het mysterie van de langgerekte schedels uit Peru, Egypte en Europa
Het mysterie van de langgerekte schedels uit Peru, Egypte en Europa
Op begraafplaatsen overal ter wereld zijn langgerekte schedels gevonden. Veel zijn het resultaat van schedelvervorming, waarbij de schedel van vooral jonge kinderen werd vastgebonden om zijn vorm te veranderen en te verlengen. Een ander deel van de schedels is echter in mysterie gehuld. Is het mogelijk dat de misvormde schedels uit Paracas in Peru afkomstig zijn van een mensachtige soort die nog nooit is bestudeerd?
De vervormde schedels die aan de Peruaanse kust zijn gevonden, zijn gedateerd op 3000 tot 2000 jaar oud. Afgelopen februari is het eerste fragment van één van de schedels geanalyseerd door een geneticus, die concludeerde dat een aantal DNA-segmenten niet overeenkomen met het DNA van bekende mensachtige soorten uit het verleden.
Brien Foerster, assistent-directeur van het Historisch Museum in Paracas, heeft in de afgelopen jaren veel onderzoek gedaan naar langgerekte schedels. Volgens hem is vijf tot tien procent van de schedels het gevolg van opzettelijke schedelvervorming. Door het afbinden van de schedels blijft normaal gesproken een afgevlakt oppervlak achter op een deel van de schedel, maar sommige van de schedels die Foerster heeft gezien, ogen natuurlijk.
De schedel van Achnaton, één van de meest mysterieuze koningen van het oude Egypte, ziet er langgerekt uit. De Universiteit van Maryland organiseerde in 2008 een bijeenkomst om de theorieën over Achnaton te bespreken. Achnaton had niet alleen een langgerekte schedel, maar ook een lange nek, lange vingers, dikke dijen en een aantal vrouwelijke eigenschappen.
Irwin M. Braverman van de Yale-universiteit dacht dat Achnaton aan craniosynostose leed, wat slaat op voortijdige vergroeiing van schedelnaden. In de oude geschriften is niets te vinden over schedelvervorming in Egypte, maar toch staan ook de kinderen van Achnaton afgebeeld met een langgerekte schedel.
De vooraanstaande Canadese egyptoloog en archeoloog Donald B. Redford zei dat de vervormingen van Achnaton mogelijk zijn ontstaan na het derde jaar van zijn heerschappij, toen hij zonnegod Aton begon te aanbidden.
Schedelvervorming is wellicht door de Hunnen binnen Europa verspreid. Onderzoekers van de Universiteit van Debrecen in Hongarije publiceerden in april een studie in het Journal of Neurosurgery over langgerekte schedels die gevonden zijn in de Karpaten.
De onderzoekers zeiden dat de Hunnen het vervormen van schedels weer hadden overgenomen van de Alanen en de Turken. Zij kunnen dus niet worden gezien als de bedenkers van deze traditie. De onderzoekers schreven: “Het lijkt erop dat dit gebruik voor het eerst op de steppegrond van Kalmukkië is verschenen en zich door de migratie van de Hunnen via de Krim heeft verspreid naar Centraal- en West-Europa. Er is geen bewijs gevonden dat schedelvervorming resulteerde in chronische neurologische aandoeningen.”
UFO mania: Retired US soldier claims he has spent 17 years battling ALIENS on Mars
UFO mania: Retired US soldier claims he has spent 17 years battling ALIENS on Mars
A FORMER US marine has sensationally claimed that he has spent nearly a decade battling ALIENS on Mars.
The ex marine, who goes by the name of Captain Kaye, says that there are five human colonies on the Red Planet and he has spent 17 years fighting to protect them.
Serving in a space fleet known as the Earth Defense Force – that recruited military personnel from countries like America, Russia and China – the one-time ex-naval infantryman was trainee to fly a variety of bombers and Star Wars-style space fighters.
He then spent his time protecting the colonies from martians, who presumably wanted to take over and make the planet their own.
Captain Kaye's incredible testimony to ExoNews TV doesn't end with Mars, either.
Spacecraft training apparently took place on the MOON, as well as on Saturn's moon Titan and even in deep space.
His retirement ceremony after 20 years of service also took place on the moon, with guests including ex US Scretary of Defence Donald Rumsfield.
We know you're all laughing now – but what if he's telling the TRUTH?
Starship Troopers had to be based on something, after all...

[Magonie] TROUS géants
[Magonie] TROUS géants
Après les trous sur terre, en voici de nouveaux! Je ne sais pas si ces informations sont crédibles. A chacun de se faire son opinion.
De nombreuses grottes et galeries souterraines ont récemment été mises en évidence sur le sol lunaire grâce à la sonde LRO (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbitery) de la NASA.
À en croire les dires de l'agence spatiale, ces cavités pourraient bien trouver toute leur utilité lors des prochaines missions habitées à destination de notre satellite naturel.. Alors que l'on pensait pratiquement tout savoir de la Lune, une récente découverte réalisée par la NASA est venue nous montrer que cet astre n'avait décidément pas fini de nous étonner.
En effet, la sonde Lunar Reconnaissance Orbitery (LRO) a mis en exergue le fait que certains des cratères caractéristiques de notre satellite seraient en fait reliés à des réseaux de grottes et de galeries souterraines.
Ainsi, en scannant seulement 40% de la surface de la Lune, la sonde aurait déjà mis en évidence pas moins de 200 de ces entrées mesurant entre 5 et 900 mètres de diamètre.
Il y a donc de fortes probabilités pour que de nombreuses autres cavités de ce type soient découvertes en analysant la portion restante du satellite. Une intense chaleur probablement à l'origine de ces formations Bien qu'il n'existe pas encore de réelle certitude quant à l'origine de ces grottes et galeries, l'hypothèse la plus probable serait qu'elles aient été formées suite à des impacts de météorites.
Les chocs auraient été si intenses que la chaleur ainsi engendrée aurait permis de faire fondre la roche qui se serait ensuite écoulée en creusant des galeries. Les vibrations causées par les impacts auraient quant à elles permis au sol de s'effondrer à certains endroits, laissant apparaître ces fameuses cavités repérées par la sonde LRO.
Des perspectives offertes dans le cadre d'une future mission habitée sur la Lune
Pour les scientifiques de la Nasa, ces grottes et galeries seraient un véritable atout pour les éventuelles futures missions lunaires habitées.
Elles offriraient effectivement une protection aux astronautes contre les rayonnements cosmiques et les chutes de météorites.
La mer Morte s'assèche à une vitesse incroyable en laissant d'énormes gouffres sur son passage. Ces profondeurs apparaissent comme de grands tunnels qui se multiplient dans la région. Les experts disent que ces énormes trous se forment à un rythme de presque un par jour, mais n'ont aucun moyen de savoir quand ou comment et où ils vont apparaître. Les estimations du magazine « Moment » suggèrent que, du côté israélien , il y a actuellement plus de 3000 puits autour de la Mer Morte. Cela se compare à seulement 40 enregistré en 1990, avec le premier tunnel qui apparaissait dans les années 1980. La mer Morte s'étend sur plus de 96 km du côté d' Israël, la Judée Samarie et la Jordanie. L'eau est 10 fois plus salée que l'océan Atlantique Nord. Cela signifie que les minéraux qui coulent et y demeurent. L'augmentation de la sécheresse entraîne chaque année un mètre de moins dans la mer Morte. Les puisards qui sont essentiellement en forme de cuvette forment un espace vide et créée une dépression.La dépression est le résultat d'une réaction entre l'eau douce et salée enterrées à un niveau en dessous de la surface de la terre.Lorsque l'eau fraîche dissout le sel, elle crée un vide, ce qui fait que la paysage autour et au-dessus peut s'effondrer soudainement.
Mystery Behind Giant Hole in Siberia Clearer as 2nd Discovered
Mystery Behind Giant Hole in Siberia Clearer as 2nd Discovered
Marya Zulinova / Governor of Yamal-Nenets Region's Press ServiceThe craters, believed to be formed by an underground explosion, are now filled with snow and ice.
Reindeer herders in Russia's Far North have discovered yet another mysterious giant hole about 30 kilometers away from a similar one found days earlier.
Located in the permafrost of the subarctic Siberian region of Yamal, which means "end of the earth" in the local Nenets language, both craters appear to have been formed in recent years and have icy lakes at their bases.
Scientists who examined the first hole theorized that it could have been created when a mixture of water, salt and gas exploded underground, the Siberian Times news site reported.
The area, which has one of Russia's richest deposits of natural gas, was covered by sea about 10,000 years ago, and vast salt deposits were left behind.
"Global warming, causing an alarming melt in the ice under the soil, released gas causing an effect like the popping of a Champagne cork," the news report said, citing an expert at the Subarctic Scientific Research Center.
The first hole is estimated to be about 50 meters wide and 70 meters deep, with water from melting permafrost cascading down its sides into the icy deposit below.
The second hole is "exactly" like the first one, but "much smaller," local lawmaker Mikhail Lapsui told the Interfax-Ural news agency. "Inside the crater itself, snow can be seen."
Scientists have discovered a mysterious giant hole that has appeared in one of Russia's most isolated northernmost regions, state television reported.
A preliminary study on Thursday determined that the gaping crater, about 100 meters in diameter, was created by a natural event — but not a meteorite impact.
There were no signs that the hole was artificially made, and the radiation level at the site was not dangerous, a team of scientists from Siberia's Institute of the Earth Cryosphere said in a press release quoted by Russian media.
Speculation has swirled about how the hole could have been created — including theories of an unknown meteorite or even alien beings — after a video of the mysterious site went viral on YouTube last week.
The hole is located in the vast region of Yamal, which means "the end of the Earth" in the local Nenets language. Straddling the Arctic Circle, the region is a place where temperatures plummet to negative 50 degrees Celsius and the sun barely rises in winter.
Inhabited by indigenous reindeer herders, Yamal is one of Russia's richest regions in natural gas. The hole was found near the Bovanentsky gas field, leading to speculation that it could have been caused by an underground explosion.
TV Zvezda, broadcast by the Defense Ministry, reported that the person who shot the video said the hole appeared to have been caused from below and that the darker soil around its top indicated the effect of high temperatures.
Ma première idée a été de suspecter des forages (la région est riche en hydrocarbures exploités par Gazprom) mais les photos aériennes ne montrent aucune trace de roues ou de chantier autour des trous. L'hypothèse de météorites ne tient pas davantage, pour des raisons à la fois statistiques (il y a plusieurs trous identiques, sinon par le diamètre, dans un rayon restreint d'une centaine de km) et de configuration physique.On remarque clairement des formes d'éjectas autour des trous, ce qui semble signer un creusement circonscrit (voir photo jointe). Qu'est-ce que c'est que ces trous ? Pour l'instant les scientifiques russes n'ont que des questions. En admettant que ces formations ne soient pas naturelles, n'est-on pas en droitde se demander : qui cherche quoi dans le permafrost sibérien ?

La Sibérie trouée par le méthane
Climat Un choc thermique en cause
Aurélie Coulon
«Le 13 juillet, j’ai reçu un appel téléphonique m’annonçant la découverte d’un «trou» sur la plaine de la péninsule de Yamal. Le 16 juillet, nous partions en mission pour l’étudier.» Marina Leibman est chercheuse à l’Institut de la cryosphère terrestre à l’Académie des sciences russes et spécialiste de la Sibérie occidentale. Elle étudie depuis près de trente ans le sol gelé de manière permanente sous ces latitudes, appelé pergélisol, dans la région de Yamal où un premier cratère géant de 30 mètres de diamètre et 70 mètres de profondeur a été récemment observé. Deux autres cratères ont été découverts: un d’environ 15 m de diamètre dans la région de Taz, plus à l’est, et un de 4 m de large au nord, dans la péninsule de Taymyr.
Fonte du pergélisol
L'analyse des échantillons de sol qu'ils avaient collectés dans le cratère et à distance de l’orifice a rapidement permis d'écarter les hypothèses qui évoquaient déjà une météorite et même un missile. «Il ne s’agit pas du résultat d’activités humaines ou d’une explosion car il n’y a aucune trace d’un événement à haute température comme des cendres, explique la chercheuse. Par contre, la couche supérieure du cratère montre un taux particulièrement élevé de méthane, un peu moins de 10%.» Le pergélisol est riche en argile et en matière organique. Or, quand la température augmente et que le sol gelé fond, ces composés sont dégradés par des bactéries qui produisent du méthane.
«Je pense que les trous résultent d’un «choc thermique» libérant une grande quantité de méthane», suggère Marina Leibman. Un avis partagé par Anna Kurchatova, chercheuse au Centre de recherche subarctique. Dans un commentaire au journal The Siberian Times, elle accuse directement le réchauffement climatique d’entraîner une fonte «alarmante» de la glace souterraine générant le relargage explosif de gaz, mélangé à de l’eau et du sel, un peu à la manière d'une giclée de champagne à l'ouverture d'une bouteille.
Witness said: Mars Curiosity A camera caught a cylinder shaped UFO The April 28, 2014, an object that is very similar to that caught the Russian probe Phobos 2 in 1989, an image that showed me the cosmonaut Popovich From an enormous marina cylinder that could be related to the cylindrical objects that have been recorded in the Popocatepetl volcano.
(N.Morgan) The Nazi’s history is one filled with intrigue and unanswered conspiracies, that still boggle the minds of historians and researchers alike. Their technology seemed so far ahead of its time, it has left many to question just how technologically advanced they really were. Is it possible that another innovation of Hitler’s was a secret moon base? Imagine the implications of such a thing being true. Since the end of World War II, rumors have persisted that Hitler had a top secret space program. Is it possible that the Nazis reached the Moon before anyone else?
In UFOlogy, conspiracy theory, science fiction, and comic book stories, claims or stories have circulated linking UFOs to Nazi Germany. The German UFO theories describe supposedly successful attempts to develop advanced aircraft or spacecraft prior to and during World War II, and further assert the post-war survival of these craft in secret underground bases in Antarctica, South America, or the United States, along with their creators. According to the limited available information on the UFOs, various potential code-names or sub-classifications of Nazi UFO craft such as Rundflugzeug, Feuerball, Diskus, Haunebu, Hauneburg-Geräte, V7, Vril, Kugelblitz (not related to the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun of the same name), Andromeda-Geräte, Flugkreisel, Kugelwaffen, and Reichsflugscheiben have all been referenced.
Accounts appear as early as 1950, likely inspired by historical German development of specialized engines such as Viktor Schauberger‘s “Repulsine” around the time of WWII. Elements of these claims have been widely incorporated into various works of fictional and purportedly non-fictional media, including video games and documentaries, often mixed with more substantiated information.
German UFO literature very often conforms largely to documented history on the following points:
The Third Reich claimed the territory of New Swabia in Antarctica, sent an expedition there in 1938, and planned others.
The Third Reich conducted research into advanced propulsion technology, including rocketry, Viktor Schauberger’s engine research, flying wing craft and the Arthur Sack A.S.6 experimental circular winged aircraft.
Some UFO sightings during World War II, particularly those known as foo fighters, were thought by the Allies to be prototype enemy aircraft designed to harass Allied aircraft through electromagnetic disruption; a technology similar to today’s electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapons
Orange Crescent Moon Shaped UFO Splits Into Three Over Lancaster California (Diagram/Pictures)
Date: July 30, 2014 Time: 9:30 p.m.
Hello, my name is (name removed) and I live in Lancaster California. I am 34 years old and never had a UFO encounter.
Last night July 30, 2014 at 9:30 p.m. PST, I witnessed an orange, crescent moon shaped object. It elongated and split into three separate bodies then reformed and dissolved.
I have two photos I took with my iPhone. I’m kicking myself for not taking more. Please contact me so as to discuss this phenomena. Thank you for your time.
Additional Information Below:
Pictures were received from the witness.
Cool no problem. I’m very curious too. Thank you for getting back to me. I was reading and some say it is flares used in military testing, but I’m not convinced.
Attached are both pictures I have and a diagram. Crappy phone camera so barely in focus. Can’t see the separation in the photos. Oh well. Thanks again and please stay in contact.

Americans Aren't Sure If Trying To Contact Aliens Is Such A Great Idea
Americans Aren't Sure If Trying To Contact Aliens Is Such A Great Idea
Hi all:
I would like to substitute "Americans" with "Aliens" and "Aliens" with "Humans" (Aliens Aren't Sure If Trying To Contact Humans Is Such A Great Idea) because our own history has shown us that it will almost invariably be the superior societies which make first contact with inferior (primitive) societies and not the other way round with often devastating consequences for the inferior societies. It wasn't the (Papua) Indians or other isolated tribes who first contacted or discovered the "White Gods", viz. the technologically superior humans. On a cosmic scale we, Earthlings, are like these isolated tribes who once thought that nobody was out there or exploring their territories. As Stanton Friedman stated, we are out in the boondocks with no other star close by and because we are so remote from others, we have a feeling of loneliness.
People should wake up and face the bigger picture of reality, which is that there are with high certainty (many) others out there based on the latest cosmological findings re the number of suns and (habitable) planets in our milky way and the universe and some have most likely reached a technological and spiritual level beyond our wildest dreams to whom space travel has become as common as air travel has become to us. Here on Earth the compiled evidence re UFOs clearly shows that unknown, puzzling vessels have been traversing our skies with impunity and beyond our grasp (?) and now and then strange creatures have been observed near these vessels and "contact" may have been happening through weird, incomprehensible abductions (if true and not imagined) or perhaps (unproven) private meetings. So, if these vessels and beings are from out there, they have known of our existence for a very long time and contact has already been made (in small, gradual steps) but not in the way as humans like to interpret contact, viz. (immediate) contact on a massive, earthly scale.
This hasn't happened yet probably with goods reasons. And what hasn't also happened yet is that we haven't been wiped out and we are still living ... our daily lives.
Americans Aren't Sure If Trying To Contact Aliens Is Such A Great Idea
Only 37 percent of Americans want to give this intelligent life form a call on his birthday. | Kevin Ross via Getty Images
Humans have been searching for signs of life on other planets at least since the 1960s, when scientists began scanning the heavens for radio signals that might be evidence of extraterrestrial beings. Scientists even have tried to reach out to aliens by sending out radio messages, beginning with transmissions made in 1974.
But does it make sense for us to try to establish contact with alien life? A new HuffPost/YouGov poll shows that many Americans have their doubts.
It's not that Americans don't think intelligent life exists beyond Earth. Fifty percent think intelligent life is out there somewhere, the poll shows. Nineteen percent think there's no intelligent alien life, and 31 percent say they're not sure.
And 46 percent think it would be possible for humans to contact intelligent aliens. But only 37 percent think it's a good idea to try. Twenty-seven percent said it's a bad idea, while 36 percent aren't sure whether it's a good or bad idea.
Americans who think attempting to contact alien life is a bad idea had differing reasons for saying so. Eight percent of all Americans said it would be a waste of time to try because intelligent life is unlikely to exist. Another 8 percent said they think it might be dangerous, because our efforts might alert unfriendly aliens to our presence.
Five percent said an alien contact program would be a waste of money even if it did work, and 2 percent said it would be too difficult because we lack the necessary technology. Another 2 percent said it would be a bad idea for some other reason.
The poll shows that men are more likely than women to believe intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe (58 percent to 43 percent) and to think that it would be possible to contact extraterrestrial life (53 percent to 40 percent). Forty-one percent of men and 33 percent of women said it's a good idea to try to contact other intelligent life forms, but those who said it was a bad idea gave similar reasons for why.
The HuffPost/YouGov poll was conducted July 17-19 among 1,000 U.S. adults using a sample selected from YouGov's opt-in online panel to match the demographics and other characteristics of the adult U.S. population. Factors considered include age, race, gender, education, employment, income, marital status, number of children, voter registration, time and location of Internet access, interest in politics, religion and church attendance.
The Huffington Post has teamed up with YouGov to conduct daily opinion polls. You can learn more about this project and take part in YouGov's nationally representative opinion polling. Data from all HuffPost/YouGov polls can be found here.
Apollo 14 plus 41: The unexpected benefit of Edgar Mitchell
Larry D. Lowe
On January 31, 1971 at 4:04:02 pm local time, Apollo 14 lifted off from Cape Kennedy, carrying Alan Shepard, Stuart Roosa and Edgar Mitchell into history. When the Command Module Kitty Hawk splashed down in the South Pacific on February 9, the world changed, but not for a reason anyone other than Ed Mitchell could realize at the time.
In the ensuing 41 years, the travails and accomplishments of Apollo 14 have become the stuff of American aerospace legend: the difficulty docking with the LEM prior to translunar injection, Mitchell’s emergency reprogramming of the LEM flight computer, the most precise lunar landing to date, the heartbreaking decision to deploy the second EVA research package 30 meters short of the unseen rim of Cone Crater, the first lunar Olympics, a successful completion of the nearly disastrous Apollo 13 mission profile.
It was a story that epitomized the can-do legerdemain with which the Apollo program gave America a world cultural identity in the late ’60’s and early ’70‘s. It was a triumph of engineering, science, training and ‘right stuff’ grace under pressure. At the time, the ramifications of the mission to the understanding of human consciousness were the furthest thing from anyone’s mind. Except the mind of Edgar Mitchell.
Shepard and Roosa are gone, leaving Mitchell as the last living member of the crew. Which is a good thing for humanity, because in the post Apollo years, he has dedicated his life to a far more complex journey.
And therein lies a story of the unexpected benefits of exploration.
Cosmologist and Astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell, whose academic credentials include a doctorate in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT, joined physicist Dr. Michio Kaku and technologist-futurist Ray Kurzweil in the exclusive society.
Mitchell is best known for his exploration of the Fra Mauro highlands. His investiture in the Da Vinci Society, however, was earned for accomplishments after leaving NASA in 1972. These include founding the Institute of Noetic Sciences and more recently Quantrek. Most significantly, Mitchell has developed a new cosmology that holds promise for an evolution in how we see ourselves in relation to reality around us.
At Quantrek Mitchell assembled a stellar interdisciplinary team of degreed scientists including Dr. Gary Schwartz, Dr. Walter Schempp and long time colleague Dr. Hal Puthoff to detail that cosmology.
The induction ceremony took place during a colloquium and luncheon in the main hall of the UAT in Tempe. UAT founder, Domnic Pistillo, is also the visionary force behind the Da Vinci society.
In welcoming remarks to the attendees, Tempe Mayor Hugh Hallman commended the UAT for its innovative approach to education. He concluded by reading proclamation declaring June 3, 2011 as the Leonardo da Vinci Society for the Study of Thinking Day.
The presentation of the award was done by former Phoenix area broadcaster and noted author Charles Goyette, after which Mitchell addressed the audience. He delivered a low-key but powerful assessment of his life's work after Apollo.
Dr. Mitchell's selection as one of the great thinkers of our time is not an honorary degree. His goal is correcting what he sees as a flaw in man’s approach to thinking induced in the 17th century. This mistake placed western scientific thinking within a box of materialist context. That, in turn, precludes complete understanding of the laws of the universe.
From Edgar Mitchell's perspective, the best minds of our civilization are not thinking comprehensively. Until they are, we as a species won't likely get where evolution beckons us.
A host of observed, but very basic human phenomena, including consciousness itself, have eluded rigorous scientific description by all disciplines of science. This is true, not because of insufficient evidence for a particular phenomenon's existence, but rather for lack of a theoretical construct which could fit within the prevailing paradigms of science.
The Da Vinci Society was established in 2005 when renown expert on lateral and parallel thinking Dr. Edward de Bono was inducted as the inaugural chair. Debono's work explored the way we think. Subsequent inductees have been selected on the basis of what they thought about. Mitchell's unique contribution is to attempt to reconcile what is doing the thinking (mind) with what is being thought about (matter).
René Descartes famously said "I think, therefore I am."
Edgar Mitchell seems to be saying "As I think, therefore reality is."
With his induction into the Society for the Study of Thinking, Mitchell joins a group of thoughtful people. Prior Da Vinci inductees include Dr. de Bono; Dr. Margaret J. Wheatley who investigates speed and change in our society; Dr. Fritjof Capra, author of The Tao of Physics; Dr. Kaku, once called a ‘superhero of the incomprehensible’; Kurzweil, who popularized the concept of a technological singularity; and Dr. Lynn Margulis, a leading proponent of Gaia Theory.
Edgar Mitchell’s cosmology, which he calls the Dyadic Model of Consciousness, fits right into this body of thought. A key component of it is the concept of the Quantum Hologram, derived in 1992 by the German mathematician Dr. Walter Schempp.
The quantum hologram is the first energy phenomenon that directly links all macro-scale matter with the quantum world. For most of the last century, quantum nonlocality was considered a vexing artifact of particle interactions, but with no application to the macro scale world. Nonlocal information was not considered useable. It is now clear that in the proper circumstances that quantum information is both available and useable. — Consciousness, Quantum Physics, the Zero Point Field and the Quantum Holographic Model, Edgar Mitchell, ScD.
The division of Church and Science
According to Mitchell, the origin of an intellectual catch-22 was a deal cut in the 17th century that denies science a complete mathematical description of reality. Western European civilization had been held together during the dark ages by the church. Religion was the fundamental organizing principle of society. Intellectuals were subject to persecution if they discussed ideas at odds with religious doctrine.
The well spring of our current technological society was hopelessly mired in religious dogma. Strict adherence to biblical tenants and religious orthodoxy made attempts to deduce the underlying principles of the real world perilous. When Galileo used his telescope to gain observational evidence that supported Copernicus's heliocentric thesis, not only did the church officials refuse to even look through the telescope at the evidence, they tried him for heresy.
As a result, scientific thought was imprisoned.
The emerging rational mind was not to be denied, but there had to be a compromise. In the establishment of scientific thinking as acceptable behavior, the reformists cut a deal with the church.
This agreement was actually a faustian bargain. The philosophical dividing line left consciousness exclusive to religion in exchange for science getting the freedom to investigate everything else. Science got chemistry, physics, mathematics, geology, biology and other disciplines which have shaped western technological civilization. The church got spirits, miracles, prayer and an unseen presence that oversees everything.
The dividing line came to be known as Cartesian Duality, the notion that mind and matter do not interact and hence could be considered separately. It was a fatal reductionism that would preclude holistic understanding for centuries.
For over 400 years a fundamental if intangible aspect of the universe was outside the bounds of hard technical science. The catch-22 is that while you cannot understand everything scientifically until you take consciousness into account, if you are a scientist you can’t take consciousness into account.
Thanks to the separation of church and science along the lines of mind and matter, observable phenomenon that are ‘normal’ in the sense that they reasonably derive from a quantum hologram model, got erroneously labeled 'paranormal'. The implied stigma associated with the 'paranormal' prevented scientific minds from investigating a significant subset of the reality they were working so hard to understand.
The distinction between mind and matter lasted until the early 20th century, when quantum mechanics emerged out of classical mechanics. Even so, hard science clung to the notion of Cartesian Duality. Consciousness is still left out of serious scientific consideration for the most part.
Part of the problem is that Newtonian physics explains everyday experience. It was Newton's equations that enabled a precision landing at Fra Mauro. In addition, the subjective nature of consciousness makes it a difficult phenomenon to study. It's no wonder the bargain held so long.
Science’s trusty sidekick engineering designed and built the massive Saturn V launch vehicle that injected Shepard, Mitchell and Roosa into low earth orbit over four decades ago.
Ironically, the technology of Apollo afforded Edgar Mitchell the epiphany that would propel him for the rest of his life. On the return trip, Mitchell was no longer preoccupied with the operational checklist. He sat in the capsule and watched the universe slowly drifting outside the window. The capsule was spun to equalize the fierce heat of sunlight and intense cold of deep space.
In a thoughtful frame of mind, Mitchell watched the earth, sun and moon drift past his view in metronomic progression. He had a 'sudden and profound' realization that connected his consciousness with that of the universe around him.
Consider the experience of the nirvikalpa samadhi which is described similarly in different traditions. In this experience the sense of Self merges with the cosmos and reality is experienced as unity of Self with All-That-Is. The experience is accompanied by intense ecstasy, a sense of eternity and a complete loss of fear. The experience is ineffable in the sense that description is inadequate to convey the experience and the description alone does not assist others in attaining the experience. — Dyadic Model of Consciousness, Edgar Mitchell, ScD
Upon his return from the moon, Mitchell began a search for an explanation for that moment of profound realization. The search would lead him deep into physics theory.
The holy grail of physics is a unified field theory, a 'theory of everything'. The goal is one set reliable of equations that explain all science can observe and measure. These are currently based on the interactions of four fundamental forces that underly all physical matter: electromagnetism, the strong interaction, the weak interaction and gravitation.
Mitchell thought there must be more to it than that. The answer, Mitchell now believes, lies in thinking outside The Standard Model of physics, the closest current theory set that can explain everything.
Integrating consciousness into the theory of everything would go a long way towards explaining a range of so-called 'paranormal' occurrences, spoon bending, telepathy, precognition, the apparent teleportation of objects and similar phenomena described in Mitchell's book The Way of the Explorer.
That integration is intrinsically difficult. The mathematics of consciousness are far more complex than those needed to get from Cape Kennedy to Fra Mauro. The forces that physics grapples with are invisible, however their effects are measurable. Consciousness is both invisible and unmeasurable.
"Fundamentally, I'm a cosmologist." Mitchell says, "And the question is: 'How did all of this come about? How does mind and matter interact? How can we write the equations for intentionality?’" The last question is an example of Mitchell’s thought process.
In English we describe intuition as our 'sixth sense'. The fact that such information derives from the quantum description of reality suggests it should be called our 'first sense' as the quantum world precedes the formation stars systems, planets, galaxies, and so forth, from which our usual sensory experience derive. — Edgar Mitchell, ScD
The path to those answers begins, he believes, with understanding Zero Point Energy. Zero Point Energy is the energy that remains when all other energy is removed from a system.
The Zero-Point Energy (ZPE) field as electromagnetic quantum fluctuations is an accepted mainstream concept of quantum mechanics and takes place even at zero degrees Kelvin. It represents an almost unlimited, ubiquitous energy source that permeates and sustains all matter and exists everywhere (even the vacuum of outer space). — Quantrek website.
The direction from there became apparent when Mitchell came across Schempp’s work, which used the notion of a holographic mechanism for conveyance of nature’s information. Reading Schempp's paper, Mitchell had another epiphany.
“My God,” he remembers thinking, “this is what consciousness is about.”
The notion of a Quantum Hologram, Mitchell realized, was the means to include consciousness in the quest for a unified theory. Finally, a mathematical hook was in place to allow consciousness to be part of the equation of everything. Exactly how remains to be derived, although Mitchell is excited with the initial progress made.
“We have to find a good definition of ‘consciousness’ within the scientific rubric.” Mitchell says, “We think we have a start on it but it's not fully developed."
"Now that we know that consciousness is fundamentally a quantum phenomenon,” he continues, “we can start to look at all of these areas, including alternative methods of healing and on and on."
The Quantum Hologram model may be the missing link between quantum mechanics and general relativity. It is the holistic thread that weaves these two schools of thought together, providing an unprecedented integration of cosmic scale and atomic scale phenomena. Further, early explorations with the mathematics of Quantum Hologram have already led to progress in developing a quantum cosmology, in resolving some of the conflicts between quantum mechanics and relativity, and in suggesting how matter might arise ex nihilo from the field of quantum fluctuations. — About the Quantum Hologram, Edgar Mitchell, ScD
Building on the realization that the Quantum Hologram model might be able to link General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics through the Zero Point Energy field, Mitchell developed what he calls the Dyadic Model of Consciousness. It is this new model of consciousness that attempts the unification of understanding of mind and matter.
That is the unexpected benefit of Apollo 14.
Path to a new cosmology.
Mitchell's goal is to provide science with a means of understanding the thing that is doing the thinking—our consciousness. In order to do so, he has developed a cosmology that proposes to integrate Schempp's model of the Quantum Hologram into the quest for a unified field theory.
In order to understand this and take the ‘small step for mankind’ from the Quantum Hologram to the Dyadic Model of Consciousness, we must take a brief tour through the history of physics.
Gravitation.
The parable used to illustrate the dawn of the age of reason is of an apple falling from a tree. It hits the head of Issac Newton and a realization strikes him that gravity must be a force acting on an object.
What became known as Classical Mechanics begins with Newton's 1687 publication of his Principia Mathematica. That work put forth the notion of universal gravitation and three laws of motion. This served to explain the observations of Tycho Brahe and Galileo Galilei.
Newton's Principia Mathematica is revered not only for its scientific content but the standard it set for scientific publication. It began a precise dialog that continues to this day, wherein new principles and concepts are described in exacting context of prior work and supported by observational results.
Newton's work would evolve in one direction into orbital mechanics, by which the trajectory of Apollo 14 could be directed to ultimately arrive at a specific location on the surface of the moon. Buzz Aldrin's thesis at MIT was on orbital mechanics. Before that, in 1738, the Dutch-Swiss mathematician Daniel Bernoulli, used it to define Bernoulli's principle, a foundation of aerodynamics.
Newton's work triggered a long list of papers that defined such things as differential equations, generalized forces, the conservation of energy and the canonical equations of motion.
All of this work gave us the foundation to understand gravitation. It is a force working on macroscale objects, things we can handle and identify. These include a spinning baseball that curves in to nip the inside corner of the strike zone or, at astronomical scale, the earth, moon or even a spacecraft in spaceflight.
Thanks to Isaac Newton and a host of successor thinkers, we have gravitation as a fundamental that must be accounted for in a unified theory. Gravitation interacts on all particles that have mass, has infinite range, cannot (to our present understanding) be transformed or shielded against, always attracts and never repels. Gravitation was the first of these fundamental forces to be described mathematically, the litmus test for inclusion in scientific theory.
Electromagnetism.
With the publication of James Clerk Maxwell's 1873 Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism in which the interactions of positive and negative charges were shown to be regulated by one force, the concept of electromagnetism emerged. Electromagnetism is the force that governs interaction between electrically charged particles. It is also the force that is responsible for observable phenomenon of daily life, beyond those attributable to gravity.
Maxwell's theoretical unification of electricity and magnetism, confirmed by Michael Faraday is described as "one of the key accomplishments of 19th century mathematical physics."
The harnessing of electromagnetism was to the early 20th century what harnessing the steam engine (another result of Bernoulli's work) was to the 19th century. A profound motive force in our society, electromagnetism provided us with the electric light, the electric motor, radio, radar, television.
Understanding electromagnetism was as essential to Mitchell’s journey as understanding gravitation. With the advent of the transistor and its ability to express Boolean logic came the computer chips that performed the calculations that guided Apollo 14 to landing on the moon.
Quantum Mechanics.
As physics probed deeper into the unseen forces that affect matter, it found a realm where bizarre, counter-intuitive effects are at work. This gave rise to notions such as the non-locality of quantum entanglement, wave-particle duality and the uncertainty principle.
The 1930's saw the arrival of Enrico Fermi's description of what became known as the weak Force. It's at this point that physics gets down to business difficult to associate with daily life. The weak force affects sub-atomic particles known as fermions, is responsible for radioactive decay and triggers fusion that powers stars. It is measurable over a very short range and is several orders of magnitude less powerful than electromagnetism.
The Strong Force.
Physics become even less tangible to common experience with the arrival of the theory of the strong force, that has tremendous power over a vanishingly short range. When John Dalton's atomic model was reduced to protons, electrons and neutrons in 1908, there needed to be a force to counter the electrostatic repulsion that would otherwise rip apart the nucleus of the atom. This is the strong force.
From the 1940's through the 60's a cavalcade of exotic sub-atomic particles with whimsical names such as muon, pion, hadron and boson were discovered as theoretical physics went down a rabbit-hole into a world where things got curiouser and curiouser.
By now, it was taking teams of minds to advance understanding. In the early 1970's Murray Gell-Mann and Harald Fritsch proposed a theory that David Gross, Frank Wilczek, and David Politzer extended to allow comparison to experimental evidence, and the theory of quantum chromodynamics solidified.
All that was left, it seemed was to figure out the equations that would wire these four theories together and a theory of everything could emerge.
Steps to unification.
In 1979, Abdus Salam, Sheldon Glashow and Steven Weinberg won the Nobel Prize in Physics for defining the electroweak interaction, which unified electromagnetism and the weak force. With just three puzzle parts to fit together, what became known as the Standard Model emerged, which described a reasonably sensible relationship between the electrowesk, gravitation and strong nuclear interactions. The Standard Model can be thought of as the theory of almost everything. If its component can be melded successfully, physics hopes to arrive at grand unification and understand how everything works.
Relativity, special and otherwise.
In 1905, Albert Einstein published a paper that presented Special Relativity. In it, he generalized Galileo’s principle of relativity, that all uniform motion is relative, from classical mechanics to all the laws of physics. With it came the principle that the speed of light is the same for all observers, regardless of velocity relative to the source. In exchange for that certainty, Einstein introduced seemingly bizarre consequences such as time-dilation and length contraction at excessive speed.
All of this applied to a special case based on the frame of reference where the speed of the observer is constant. Einstein removed that limitation in 1916, with the theory of General Relativity.
There things stand, with science on an increasingly expensive quest to derive experimental evidence that would vindicate one of a number of competing theories as to what exactly goes on at the sub-atomic level.
“The real dilemma in physics these days,” Mitchell says, “is to bring general relativity and the non-locality of quantum physics into synthesis. We still don’t know how to do it. But physics will not be complete until we do.”
Enter the Quantum Hologram
A hologram in popular understanding is a record of a three-dimensional object’s light emissions captured through the process of holography. Projecting a hologram reconstructs the three-dimensional appearance of the object in the perception of the observer, even though the object is no longer there.
Imagine, as Schempp did, a dynamic hologram, produced with Planck’s Black Body Radiation which, Mitchell explains, is “a property of every physical object, has photon emissions that are nonlocal, quantum entangled and carry information about the emitting object that can be recovered and used by perceptive minds.”
The result would be something akin to 'The Force' in Star Wars, an 'energy field created by all living things, that surrounds and penetrates living beings and binds the galaxy together.' It would provide, Mitchell says, “a mechanism for the ancient concept of the Akashic Record which the ancients believed was the inherent record of everything that happens in Nature.” It would also explain Rupert Sheldrake’s theory of morphic resonance, along with a host of paranormal phenomena and a variety of loosely defined new-age concepts.
The reason for this optimism is that the Quantum Hologram theory extends the reach of the spooky effects of quantum mechanics to the macroscale range of everyday life. That would explain many reports once considered religious or spiritual phenomenon, intuition and intention. Lynne McTaggart is experimenting with intention in search of scientifically valid results.
It’s possible that practical application of the Quantum Hologram effects have been known all along without anyone realizing it. Psychologist Dr. Alberto Villoldo is effectively teaching western minds abilities along these lines derived from knowledge he gained from descendants of the Inca and Q’ero of Peru.
In that context, what Mitchell is seeking might be termed the reunification of mind and matter.
Interdisciplinary investigations.
One of the remaining tasks is to define the means of perception in the brain which translates the projections of the Quantum Hologram into the mind of the perceiver.
Which leads to a discussion of neurophysiology beyond the scope of this article.
The interdisciplinary nature of the investigations Mitchell and the Quantrek team are engaged in is such that it’s easy for skeptics to discount his ideas as preposterous. Like the blind man trying to describe an elephant by feeling its leg, many don’t have a broad enough understanding of the complex puzzle Mitchell is piecing together. Copernicus's heliocentric thesis was considered outrageous 400 years ago, but is now accepted as fact.
Ever patient, Mitchell presses on, despite the controversy inherent in the realm of thought so far removed from what seems to be consensus experience. Consensus experience, however, is still bound by the confines of the box of context that science was confined to at the dawn of the age of reason.
Although popular appreciation of his work remains elusive, progress is being made on the theoretical front, one small step at a time. Mitchell points to a paper done by Weili Lou (a member of the Quantrek scientific team) on Intrinsic Awareness, in which she postulates a form of basic awareness upon which consciousness is built.
The intrinsic awareness (IA) that we all have is a universal phenomenon among all living beings. IA is the ground state of our conscious experiences that is timeless and irreducible. The non-applicability of reductionism to study of IA challenges the current “theories of everything” in which consciousness is ignored. — Intrinsic Awareness, Weili Lou, PhD
Dyadic Model of Consciousness.
At the end of this long trail of increasingly sophisticated models of what is, the summation of Mitchell’s quest, is his cosmology, which he presents in a four page paper at the Quantrek website. It’s demanding reading. The essence is that the Cartesian Dualism is an artificial distinction and that no true 'theory of everything' can stake claim to success unless it accounts for the integration of a theory of mind with a theory of matter. Therefore a new, truly unified model is required.
The dyadic model assumes that all human experience, including the mystical experience, has a valid informational basis, that is information (patterns of energy) is the root of all perception. It accepts the sciences from quantum science through paleontology have produced valid bodies of information.
Applying the model to problems in cosmology results in a self-organizing, learning, volitional universe that looks like the three dimensional universe we seem to inhabit. Applying the model to problems in science suggests that many paradoxes in science result from not rigorously observing the subtle interactions between “existence” and “knowing”, that is to say confusing the map with the territory. Applying the model to subjective experience suggests that all interpretations, the “meaning” of experience changes as additional information is added. In the dyadic model both science and religious experience are just two different ways of “knowing” that employ different functions of the brain and are dyadically coupled.
– Edgar Mitchell, ScD
Cosmological relevance.
What has all of this to do with UFO's
Two things:
One is the tantalizing prospect that understanding how the ephemeral awareness of consciousness interacts with classical and quantum physics might lead to an explanation of the fantastic and unbelievable behavior of certain observable phenomena that are lumped into the category of UFO’s. Recent developments suggest that electromagnetism may play an unrealized role in the manifestation of the phenomenon, beyond the notion that the propulsion and control systems might be based on an undiscovered interaction of electromagnetism and gravity.
Another more pragmatic connection is that Edgar Mitchell is part of a growing demographic: intelligent, thoughtful individuals who have read the valid literature, done their own thinking and come to the conclusion that humanity is faced with an enigmatic phenomenon that represents consciousness so advanced that it often appears, as Arthur C. Clarke put it, 'indistinguishable from magic'. The observed behavior reported is often dismissed out-of-hand by scientists too hamstrung by the tenets laid out at the beginning of the age of reason and too confident in their hard-earned intellectual prowess to acknowledge the implications of evidence they either won't consider or can’t rationalize away. Mirroring the range of life on earth, there is a wide range of exoconsciousness interacting with humanity, with varying methods and motives. It does so in a covert and enigmatic fashion and thus is dismissible by many who don’t look too closely at the evidence. Western technological civilization, or at least its political, media, academic, scientific and military establishments are content ignoring or denying this fact of everyday life.
In both his remarks to a student assembly the day before the induction ceremony and during his acceptance speech, Dr. Mitchell made a brief and direct comment that he believes advanced intelligence exists in the vast universe. Further, he said, it is already interacting with humanity. Elements of the U.S. Government and industry are aware of this, he said, but are keeping what they know from the understanding of the population by controlling the message of the media and steadfastly refusing to discuss or admit the situation. Ridicule remains an effective weapon in their arsenal, although it grows increasingly strained.
The reason for secrecy and denial of this is traditionally ascribed to concern the public might panic. But more likely an admission that advanced intelligence is already here on earth would challenge the stature of the minority in power in political, media and military establishments. There may be other reasons as well, given how little is actually known about the advanced intelligences and their motives.
Mitchell is as matter-of-fact about the existence of advanced intelligence operating in earth's biosphere as he is about having been to the moon. It would be a mistake to underestimate his conviction based on the tenor of his presentation. His soft spoken demeanor belies the daring yet thoughtful nature of the test pilot he once was, and at heart, still is.
While others, such as the largely ineffectual exopolitical community, loudly decry the lack of 'disclosure' to little or no avail, Mitchell prefers to simply and quietly educate those he meets to the extent he estimates they are prepared to listen.
Towards an advanced civilization.
If Rupert Sheldrake’s theory of the morphogenic field holds true for humanity, and it certainly must if it is true at all, then when a critical mass of human quantum biocomputers (our brains) start operating with an understanding of how we are all connected, the whole human race will ‘get it’.
That would revolutionize our value system. It would free us from the twin chains of a purely materialistic world view and a religious world view divorced from evidential reality. This duality vexes our civilization and is at the heart of conflict over resources and our lack of stewardship of the ecology, among other things.
Mitchell’s efforts to break the ideological logjam and open up western minds to the point where contact can occur in a more open and official manner are based on two realizations:
Humanity cannot advance to a point where it can join the cosmic ecosystem until such time as it gets past a crippling dependence on dwindling supplies of petrochemical based energy. Or the alternative, the remarkably dangerous practice of generating power through the expensive high-wire act of maintaining controlled nuclear fission to generate electricity.
Nor is it likely advanced intelligences would consider widespread, open contact until humanity evolves spiritually past Cartesian Dualism and out of the ego-based, materialist isolation. Perhaps contact is not possible unless the human mind has learned to operate in a truly Dyadic fashion.
To address the first, Quantrek is actively engaged in research to enable widespread utilization of Zero Point Energy, a process involving nano-scale fabrication of massive diode arrays that could extract virtually limitless amounts of motive power from the quantum level foaming of atomic structure.
To address the second, Mitchell presents his cosmology whenever possible. He realizes the power of the morphogenic field of mass human consciousness. A collective adoption of the Dyadic Model of Consciousness could end the duality between the indigenous people’s belief systems and western technological civilization.
In retrospect, Mitchell's hard scientific data gathered on the moon, while significant and valuable, pales in comparison with his realization of nature of the universe and reality.
If he can get his message into enough minds, something marvelous may be in the offing. Waiting in the wings somewhere beyond 2012 is an evolutionary leap, a revolution in consciousness.
Edgar Mitchell, now past 80, is still a man on a mission.
His mission is not continue to explore the physical cosmos, although he is complementary of the efforts of the New Space community. He is wistfully serious about wanting to break John Glenn's record for the oldest person to go orbit.
His mission is to give human consciousness the means to understand itself.
Missouri witnesses in Joplin, reported watching a silent, boxy object “bigger than a house” traveling about 300 feet off the ground about 9:15 p.m. on July 8, 2014. A husband and wife were traveling home when they say they noticed a man in the street trying to flag them down as he pointed to to the sky. “He was walking his dog who was barking wildly at the object and jumping high in the air,” the witness stated. “It approached from the northeast. As he watched, it crossed directly overhead. It looked like it was 300 feet off the ground. “It was off-white in color appearing to be illuminated by a yellowish light coming from within it. It was as big or bigger than a house and was completely silent.” The object’s shape was not aerodynamic. “It was boxy-shaped with multiple angles kind of like on a stealth airplane. It looked like it had darkened square windows in parts of it. It was flat on the bottom with round orange and red randomly flashing lights all around the bottom edge. The lights were round with dark center – like donuts. They were the size of stop signs.” The object moved southwest and then south of their location and appeared to be traveling at about 100 mph. They then noticed a change in the lighting. “It suddenly turned off its lights. All of them went off like they were quickly dimmed and not just cut off. Two lights on the back, one orange and one red, stayed on slightly longer than the others – about half a second. These lights seemed to have a burnt look to the dark centers as if maybe exhaust or flames had at one time come out of there.” The object then appeared to be descending like it was going to land or possibly crash. “It stayed perfectly level as it descended behind the trees on the horizon. It seemed to form a light mist or fog around it as it descended.”
The witnesses also noticed the strange behavior of animals in the area. “I noticed that along its flight path every dog was going crazy, barking and howling.” The three witnesses then decided to follow the object in the couple’s vehicle. “We were using a spotlight that plugs into the cigarette lighter to search the fields next to the roads. After driving about a mile, the spotlight suddenly went very dim and the seat belt warning beeper started sounding repeatedly and quickly. Also the Jeep’s automatic transmission would not change gears. When I tried to go into reverse it would not go into gear without a struggle.” All of this continued for about five minutes and then suddenly everything went back to normal. It is a newer model Jeep Wrangler and has never done anything like this before.” The group then became nervous, but decided to keep looking. “We continued searching nearby roads and fields but didn’t find anything unusual. On our way back home, as we passed the same location as before, our spotlight again dimmed and the beeping alarms in the Jeep began again.” Despite the vehicle’s problems they again continued to search for the object. “Shortly after, we turned around and passed this spot a third time, but this time nothing happened. We finally gave up our search and went home. By then the spotlight was working at full power and the Jeep was working properly and nothing else occurred.” The man that flagged us down turned out to be a neighbor who lives about a block away. He is a retired commercial airline pilot from England. He said he had “never seen anything like this before.” This report was filed on July 9, 2014 and is currently under investigation.
The discovery was unveiled during a teleconference with reporters on Tuesday and is the subject of an upcoming paper in The Astrophysical Journal.
The two bubbles could have been inflated by a past eruption from the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.
The bubbles span 50,000 light-years across the sky.
They were found with NASA’s Fermi Gamma-Ray Telescope, which surveys the sky every three hours for the highest-energy light.
Among the 1,500 sources of gamma rays Fermi has mapped so far, nothing resembles the bubble-shaped structures, which stretch across more than half of the visible sky, from the constellation Virgo to the constellation Grus.
“We know it didn’t get to be that big by sitting there quietly all the time. It certainly has had big accretion events in the past, where material falls on it and then some of that material comes back out as high-energy particles blasted out in the form of a jet,” Finkbeiner said.
“You have to ask where could energy like that come from,” said astronomer Doug Finkbeiner, with the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

Despite what you’ve heard, there are actual sounds in space.
Due to the virtual vacuum in space, it’s not sound like you and I experience it (that being waves pulsing through the air), but there are electromagnetic waves that pulsate at the same wavelength as the sound waves we can hear.
Instruments on several NASA probes including Voyager have recorded these waves and translated them into a sound that we can hear, and they are all kinds of spooky. This is the kind of thing you hear in a movie just before someone opens a door in a dark hallway.
So, take a listen to the true nature of the solar system. And sleep tight.
Over 11,000 years ago there existed an island nation located in the middle of the Atlantic ocean populated by a noble and powerful race. The people of this land possessed great wealth thanks to the natural resources found throughout their island. The island was a center for trade and commerce. The rulers of this land held sway over the people and land of their own island and well into Europe and Africa.
This was the island of Atlantis.
Atlantis was the domain of Poseidon, god of the sea. When Poseidon fell in love with a mortal woman, Cleito, he created a dwelling at the top of a hill near the middle of the island and surrounded the dwelling with rings of water and land to protect her.
Cleito gave birth to five sets of twin boys who became the first rulers of Atlantis. The island was divided among the brothers with the eldest, Atlas, first King of Atlantis, being given control over the central hill and surrounding areas.
At the top of the central hill, a temple was built to honor Poseidon which housed a giant gold statue of Poseidon riding a chariot pulled by winged horses. It was here that the rulers of Atlantis would come to discuss laws, pass judgments, and pay tribute to Poseidon..
To facilitate travel and trade, a water canal was cut through of the rings of land and water running south for 5.5 miles (~9 km) to the sea.
The city of Atlantis sat just outside the outer ring of water and spread across the plain covering a circle of 11 miles (1.7 km). This was a densely populated area where the majority of the population lived.
Beyond the city lay a fertile plain 330 miles (530 km) long and 110 miles (190 km) wide surrounded by another canal used to collect water from the rivers and streams of the mountains. The climate was such that two harvests were possible each year. One in the winter fed by the rains and one in the summer fed by irrigation from the canal.
Surrounding the plain to the north were mountains which soared to the skies. Villages, lakes, rivers, and meadows dotted the mountains.
Besides the harvests, the island provided all kinds of herbs, fruits, and nuts. An abundance of animals, including elephants, roamed the island.
For generations the Atlanteans lived simple, virtuous lives. But slowly they began to change. Greed and power began to corrupt them. When Zeus saw the immorality of the Atlanteans he gathered the other gods to determine a suitable punishment.
Soon, in one violent surge it was gone. The island of Atlantis, its people, and its memory were swallowed by the sea.
Plato described Atlantis as a island nation existing in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. It was said to be populated by a great and powerful race and was a center for trade and commerce during that era. The sheer scale of everything he said about Atlantis, from the grandeur of its buildings to the enormous timescale involved, has provided a controversial debate that has lasted for over 10,000 years.
Plato’s Description
Plato claimed to have received his information from his family. The fact that Plato would never perpetrate a fraud involving deceased members of his revered family, and the common knowledge that Plato was never known for wholesale fabrication, indicates that Plato indeed told the story as a truthful account of this mysterious civilization.
Plato introduced Atlantis in this text:
“For it is related in our records how once upon a time your State stayed the course of a mighty host, which, starting from a distant point in the Atlantic ocean, was insolently advancing to attack the whole of Europe, and Asia to boot. For the ocean there was at that time navigable; for in front of the mouth which you Greeks call, as you say, ‘the pillars of Heracles,’ there lay an island which was larger than Libya and Asia together; and it was possible for the travelers of that time to cross from it to the other islands, and from the islands to the whole of the continent over against them which encompasses that veritable ocean. For all that we have here, lying within the mouth of which we speak, is evidently a haven having a narrow entrance; but that yonder is a real ocean, and the land surrounding it may most rightly be called, in the fullest and truest sense, a continent. Now in this island of Atlantis there existed a confederation of kings, of great and marvelous power, which held sway over all the island, and over many other islands also and parts of the continent.”
In Timaeus and Critias, written in 360 BC, Plato described Atlantis as being remarkably modern for its day. It was said to have many man-made canals used for navigation and water supply. The people there were very wealthy and had considerable natural resources such as abundant plants and wildlife.
The Atlantean Inhabitants
The Lost City of AtlantisSome believe that the inhabitants of Atlantis were even more ‘advanced’ than our modern civilization (and possibly wiser) contradicting the prevailing view of a slow, steady, linear ascent of human civilization from primitive beginnings to our modern technological society. In fact, some believe that that not all Atlanteans died in their cataclysmic event but rather survived and are the ancestors of all of our modern day ‘intelligent’ people. Given this belief, all of our modern day technology is simply a rediscovering of the knowledge and information possessed by the Atlantean culture.
Surrealistic tales of Atlantean intelligence propose that they had developed such technologically advanced mechanisms such as time machines, machinery to transport themselves into some sort of altered dimension, futuristic weaponry, and advanced communication devices. Some tales indicate that the Atlanteans had perfected cloning of their powerful race and/or had created intelligent robotic clones of themselves. And some tales tell of a ‘alternate Earth’ that the Atlanteans periodically visited, possibly by the use of the previously mentioned portal machinery.
The Destruction
Legend has it that as their wealth and knowledge reached unfathomed levels, the people began to falter and become greedy. Some legends tell us that as punishment, the God Zeus pummeled the metropolis and the entire island nation sank into the sea killing all of its habitants. Some take a more practical view and believe that an earthquake or great flood destroyed the metropolis in a single night of terror. Others believe the Atlanteans, reaching unbelievable levels of success, simply self-destructed and destroyed themselves.
In Critias, Plato describes the destruction of Atlantis:
“But at a later time there occurred portentous earthquakes and floods, and one grievous day and night befell them, when the whole body of your warriors was swallowed up by the earth, and the island of Atlantis in like manner was swallowed up by the sea and vanished; wherefore also the ocean at that spot has now become impassable and unsearchable, being blocked up by the shoal mud which the island created as it settled down.”
Modern Day Search
Bimini Island – possible site of Atlantis (5995 bytes)Is the story of Atlantis true or a myth? If the story is historical fact, how could the ruins of such a metropolis elude researchers intent on proving its existence? Did all the Atlanteans perish or did some survive and become predecessors to our modern civilizations?
Some historians believe that the Atlanteans actually survived their cataclysm and migrated to other places. Common belief is that their migration took them to Egypt where the continued to forge new and innovative methods of technology. This theory concludes that that the great Egyptian marvels, such as the Sphinx and the great Egyptian writings, resulted from this influx of technologically advanced Atlanteans. Others feel that Solon, the supposed family member who originally passed the story on to Plato, may have mistaken Egypt itself for the city of Atlantis.
Map of Atlantis off China Coast (7801 bytes)Some researchers believe that the shifting continents may have displaced Atlantis to a location not nearly as close to the Atlantic Ocean as Plato described. Prevailing evidence using advanced calculations indicates that the lost civilization may indeed lie under the ice of Antarctica
.
Other researchers and readings from the infamous Edgar Cayce, indicate that Atlantis may have been located near the Bimini Island in the Bahamas. There is evidence that the Bimini Island may have once been a mountain region with the largest part of the island now submerged beneath the ocean. Cayce believed that Atlantis actually suffered three destructive events. The first destroyed their major power source (what the power source was in not known). The second actually split the islands into 3 separate entities. The third and final catastrophe caused all three of the islands to sink into the sea. Cayce concluded his reading of the City of Atlantis with a warning – between 1958 and 2008 our modern society would be presented with the same opportunities and challenges that the Atlanteans faced. Our response to those challenges will dictate our fate just as it did the Atlanteans.
Probably the most sound scientific explanation of the location of Atlantis places it off the southern coast of China. This location of this site makes if somewhat difficult to study but a general scientific consensus of the world’s ‘map’ around the end of the Ice Age indicates that a great portion of that continent is now located underwater. Depth studies of the region also indicate that there are three areas that are particularly shallow, all being less than 100 meters under the water.

The mystery of the giant, gaping holes in Siberia that have spawned many theories about their origins may have been solved (and spoiler alert, they were not caused by aliens).
After visiting the site of the first hole which was discovered last month by reindeer herders in the Yamal Peninsula, a team of Russian scientists believe the craters were likely caused by a buildup of methane.
According to the researchers, Siberia’s extremely warm summers over the past two years caused permafrost to melt. A chain reaction was then started as underground methane was released. Scientists say gas pressure likely built up to a tipping point until there was a sudden release, creating the cavernous sinkhole.
The Russian scientists’ findings were reported in the journal Nature.
A sensor that was sent down one of the holes, measuring about 60-metres wide, found an unusually high concentration of methane — approximately 9.6 per cent, as compared to the usual 0.000179 per cent. Scientists said the level of methane in the hole, paired with the fact that mounds of dirt circle the mouth of the sinkhole support their theory.
Since the discovery of the first giant crater in northern Siberia, two others have been spotted. Snapshots of the cavities have gone viral, sparking a number of theories about what the caused them. Explanations for the sinkholes have included everything from meteorites, climate change to an alien invasion.
Scientists said they plan on returning to the holes to conduct further research, however, they note that by the time they return, some of the evidence they will be looking for may no longer be there. They said the walls of the sinkholes are collapsing, and water movement along the bottom of the holes can be heard.
The depth of the enormous cavities has not been established yet. A camera was lowered down into the dark pit of one of the sinkholes, but its line was not long enough to reach the lowest point. A pool of water – likely from the melting permafrost – was discovered at the bottom. Researchers estimate the depth to the water is approximately 70 metres.

Quantum theory is a branch of physics that provides a mathematical description of the wave-particle duality of matter and energy. Even though our quantum world has been crucial for humanity to leap out of mind limiting concepts, not enough emphasis within Education is given to pure consciousness and it’s relation to our understanding of quantum physics. This is a great example of what is known, yet not given enough attention and time due to it’s ability to open minds and climb further into the truth about the nature of our reality. When the human mind ponders about what is beyond this planet, we tend to think of long distance, time and a vast amount of space between an infinite number of physical objects. Truth is, space is just a construct that gives the illusion that there is a separation between objects. Entanglement has taken our science world far, but the tendency of the human mind to think in a physical, linear way has put limitations on what we can discover and achieve. It is the understanding of the non physical that will leap humanity farther into knowing. Entanglement only goes so far in it’s explanation of what is, it concludes since everything was entangled at the moment of the big bang, everything is still touching. Scientists have developed a device that can separate a pair of entangled electrons. If you send one to the other side of the universe, and do something to one of them, the other one will respond instantly in the same way. Dr Quantum on Entanglement.
Truth is, what sparked the big bang is consciousness. This universe began as one, as did others. The big, one giant ball of light, pure consciousness was infinite potential. This giant ball of light separated itself, and started to expand into pure nothingness, pure infinite potentiality to go out and create different experiences on many different planets. Everyone and everything is pure consciousness, me, you, earth, mars, plants, and extraterrestrials, all matter is just pure consciousness, pure potentiality experiencing different realities and types of existences. This is hard for the human mind to grasp, consciousness is non physical, it creates the illusion of the physical by itself. Given the structure of our physical bodies, we are all infinite potential, as human beings, the only problem is the ego mind creating limitations on our ability to create. Once we rid ourselves of these limitations, together, we can begin to change the experience, thus begin to change the structure of our own human body to match the new reality we are collectively willing to create for ourselves. Truth is, we are not what we have been told, we are not what we have thought, you become what you think, so let’s start to discover what we really are, infinite potential, with no definitions, judgement, or limitations. Together we rise. We are evolving, and we are reaching a rapid state of evolution, it has been happening for a long time, but we are really seeing it take off now, simply by being able to identify the limiting structures that limit our potential, and seeing ourselves for what we really are, all different facets of everything and everyone else.
Limiting Potential
The purpose of our existence is to break free from limiting control structures, so we can begin to experience something we have never created before. We have the opportunity to change the vibrational frequency of this planet. All matter is just energy which is vibrating at a specific frequency,a change in frequency means a change in experience, but this cannot happen with a consciousness remaining in a limited structure. With the infinite number of experiences that consciousness has created for itself, it has also created experiences in the universe that are limiting. Limiting consciousness is all about soul growth, our body is just a physical shell that houses our soul. Our soul is here to experience this reality, this earth, and this life which puts limitations on our potential. These limitations are created by the ego mind, and can be compared to a form of measurement and definition. Human beings on planet earth are currently in the process of throwing all these definitions and labels we have put upon ourselves out the window, and as we do so our earth comes closer to completion. 2012 is simply the end of one cycle, and the beginning of a new one, the merging of oneness, the merging of ourselves with the other facets of ourselves. What happens to us, happens to earth and happens to the universe, it is all connected.This means that enormous changes await us as we choose to not be defined and told what we are anymore, and return to our most natural state, pure potentiality through the grasping of inner peace and just being ourselves in every moment we experience. Once we reach this most natural state of inner peace, we don’t let anything define us, we are free, we are pure potentiality to create whatever we want, the universe will always give us what we ask for. A great way to limit our potential is to place us in fear, and to create from fear. A great way for us to throw off all of our definitions, and get rid of the illusion of separation is love. Where does this limiting reality come from? From a group called the Illuminati. The Illuminati is a group of souls who’s main goal is to lock the planet in a specific vibrational frequency, it is so our soul stays asleep in these bodies that posses the ego mind. Our minds are the creators of our reality, if controlled, it really limits our potential.
The earth experience has been one of lies, deception manipulation and human control. Money governs our actions, simply because we chose to give it value. It is one of many tools to lock us into breaking out of this experience. The entire military industrial complex has been full of lies and manipulation, as well as politics, education and religion. The key and answer to our existence is LOVE. That’s what we are, we are all love, no matter what. Our experiences are there to serve us, and help us awaken to who we truly are inside, pure love. We all come from the same thing, a source of pure love and light. So be it. It is funny, we are the tool being used, each moment a soul awakens to the truth, this limiting structure dissolves and we get to experience a new experience. Other planets have already experienced the understanding of oneness, and some not. The current process that is taking place on earth is special, and many are around for the show. We are all connected, it is not hard to travel through space, once you realize there is no space.
[When asked 'Dr. Einstein, why is it that when the mind of man has stretched so far as to discover the structure of the atom we have been unable to devise the political means to keep the atom from destroying us?]That is simple, my friend. It is because politics is more difficult than physics.
— Albert Einstein
Extraterrestrials
As we collectively decide we no longer want to experience this type of existence, we begin to attract others who have been through the same processes on their planet. Nobody is going to do anything for our planet, we have to do it for ourselves. If we will it, it will be, and as we will it we attract help from other brother and sister beings from all over the universe. This help is not doing for us, it is simply assisting us in the direction that we are currently choosing to take, it is in service of what we will as a collective. We are willing global cooperation and oneness, and that is why you will see them continuously present their craft. It is not easy for a being, who comes from a planet in which the collective has risen it’s vibrational frequency to come to a planet that vibrates at such a low level. On the other hand, it is easier for low vibrating beings to come in and use our free will against us by manipulating our consciousness, very clever. The beings that are doing this are the beings that make up the Illuminati we see on the planet today. These are the beings that are behind the manipulation of consciousness through the control of the experience here on earth. They need us, to survive, they need a planet that vibrates at a low level frequency to feed them, to keep them alive. As we see today, more and more people are waking up, and not accepting those that govern us. The key is not to give in to a solution, don’t be fooled by proposed solutions that are really another control of frequency lock on the planet. We don’t need anything but love, we don’t need government, we need a shift in consciousness that will allow us to better utalize our amazing technology, which is covered in secrecy.
As we change the energy of the planet, we come closer to connecting with our brothers and sisters from the stars. We have to raise this planet ourselves in order for that to happen., but we are getting assistance as well, from many. Be your complete self, be love and let your intuition guide you, let go of the fear to follow it.
Ancient Aliens – S07E02 – The Tesla Experiment – Full Episode Examining a theory that inventor Nikola Tesla communicated with extraterrestrials.
Ancient Aliens is an American television series on the History channel. The program presents hypotheses of ancient astronauts and proposes that historical texts, archaeology and legends contain evidence of past human-extraterrestrial contact.
Includes secret film footage never seen until now. After 15 years of research, filmmakers have discovered brand-new evidence that reveals a scandalous conspiracy surrounding the death of one of the old Soviet Union’s most famous cosmonauts, Colonel Vladimir Komarov. When Komarov and the new Soyuz rocket was launched into space on the morning of April 23rd, 1967, his spaceship had catastrophic failures that began almost immediately. His ship lost power on re-entry and Komarov was killed instantly on impact. The Soviet government was not about to admit this failure on the 50th anniversary of the creation of the Soviet Union and covered up the entire incident by saying that Komarov’s mission had been a big success, but that he later was killed in a bus crash. Only one man in the entire Soviet Union, Komarov’s best friend Yuri Gagarin, was strong enough to force the government to tell the truth about what really happened to Komarov during his space flight. This program includes secret archival footage that has never been seen by the public, until now.

UFO mania: Extraterrestrials: China releases Moon footage of alien bases
UFO mania: Extraterrestrials: China releases Moon footage of alien bases
Dr. Micheal Salla has indicated that there is a Military Industrial Extraterrestrial Complex or MIEC, and that Earth is being assimilated by an alien agenda which also operates on Earth's Moon.
The photo below is similar to many that I myself have seen. It appears that the Chinese who took the photo, have confirmed that aliens exist. The Chinese have probably been in contact with these aliens already.
That would explain why so many radio telescopes are searching for signals from aliens, and more being built as we speak, yet no reported signals from aliens were reported to the public.
The report stipulates:
"I was sent some pictures by a source who claims China will be releasing Hi Res images taken by the Chang'e-2 moon orbiter, which clearly show buildings and structures on the moons surface. He also claims NASA has deliberately bombed important areas of the Moon in an effort to destroy ancient artefacts and facility's. Pictures yet to be released clearly show nuclear impact craters and building debris caused by explosions in an effort by NASA to destroy the truth. China is moving toward full disclosure of the Extraterrestrial reality, if these images and future ones are verified genuine then NASA should be investigated for fraud and treason. China will be releasing all the data and images from the Chang'e-2 in the coming weeks and months, lets hope this is the beginning of a new era."

Have you ever wondered why we haven't returned to the moon again? The truth is that NASA is hiding a very dark secret from us
Is there an "Alien Base" on the Moon? More and more people are coming forward with stories that might prove this is true. Rumors say that there is an Alien Moon Base on the far side of the moon, the side we never see from Earth.
Did you ever wonder why the Moon landings stopped and why we have not tried to build a Moon Base? It does seem like a better and easier idea than a floating space station with no access to any raw materials or supplies? According to the NASA Astronaut Neil Armstrong the aliens have a base on the Moon and told us in no uncertain terms to get off and stay off the Moon!
Sound far fetched? Milton Cooper, a Naval Intelligence Officer tells us that not only does the Alien Moon Base exist but the U.S. Naval Intelligence Community refers to the Alien Moon Base as "Luna," that there is a huge mining operation going on there, and that is where the aliens keep their huge mother ships while the trips to Earth are made in smaller "flying saucers".
LUNA: The Alien base on the far side of the Moon. It was seen and filmed by the Apollo astronauts. A base, a mining operation using very large machines, and the very large alien craft described in sighting reports as mother ships exist there. -Milton Cooper

MessageToEagle.com - Who was the mysterious woman who spoke a language no-one could understand?
What was inside the box she held in her hands?
What was the meaning of the markings on the round metal object she arrived in?
An intriguing document called Hyouryuukishuu, translated as 'Tales of Castaways' is kept at the Iwase Bunko Depository library in Japan. The document tells an intriguing story of an encounter with an extraterrestrial being near the village of Harashagahama or according to some sources Hara-Yadori, near Tokyo.
The event took place on February 22, 1803 when a sauce-shaped ship of iron and glass floated ashore. It also had openings made of glass or crystal.
The object was 6 meters wide and carried a young woman with very white skin.
The event created a stir in the village and people rushed down to see the unusual object.
This object became later known as Utsuro Bune ("Hollow ship").
Several people approached this curious round object in their own boats and managed to tow it to the beach.
In the book Wonders in the Sky: Unexplained Aerial Objects from Antiquity to Modern Times, Jacques Vallee and Chris Aubeck write the "upper half of the object was composed of glass-fitted windows with lattice, shielded by a kind of putty, and the lower hemisphere consisted of metal plates. Through the glass dome the witnesses could see letters written in an unknown language and bottle containing liquid, perhaps water.
The girl inside was 1.5 meters tall and her dress was strange, made of an unknown material. She spoke to the astonished crowds in a language they were at loss to interpret. She also had a strange cup of a design unknown to the witnesses. People estimated her age to be around 18 - 20 years old.
Could the UFO shaped craft be of extraterrestrial origin?
The timber box she held was 60cm in length. It appeared as though the box was very special to the young woman and she did not allow people to touch it.
"The villagers arrested the girl and tried to decide what to do with her. One of the villagers, who had heard of a similar case that had happened at another beach not far from there, suggested that the woman was possibly a foreign princess, exiled by her father because of an extramarital love affair.
The box, he said may even contain her lover's head. If this was so, it would be a political problem, and that would imply some sort of cost: "We may be ordered to spend a lot of money to investigate this woman and boat. Since there is a precedent for casting this boat out to sea, we had better put her inside the boat and send it away. From humanitarian viewpoint, this treatment would be cruel to her destiny."
Backing their decision with such straightforward logic, they forced the visitor back into the domed object, pushed it out, and it drifted out of sight."
There were two books published on regarding this incident. One book is Toen Shousetsu, published in 1825 and the other book is Ume no Chiri, published in 1844. Both books predate 'modern' UFO sightings.
Other than the accounts in these various books, no records of the mysterious incident have been found in official documents in Japan
Who was this alien visitor? Where did the woman come from? These are questions we cannot answer. Yet, perhaps, the story described in the books could based on a real UFO experience that took place in Japan in 1803.
After observing an amazing flotilla of assembling UFOs overhead, it appeared, beyond logic, that alien entities climbed down the ladder of my awe to help cause paranormal experiences.
Inter dimensional 'bleed-throughs" happen regularly.
My energies, which I cannot 'ground', are light-beacons for negative-thought-entities of many ilks, tipping my rational-emotional scales more towards, "Who needs this paranormal inglorious chafing?" rather than ,"Wow, I clearly sense the unseen!".
I now perceive E.T. and spirit hypersensitivity, as a form of a spiritual inter-dimensional allergy reaction.
Hypersensitivity, to spirits or aliens is like having an allergy to those beings, painfully aware, troubled, and inflamed, while others, are dully unaware.
I felt electric vibrations in bed and saw my body float out of my body, in astral abductions of my spiritual essence, which retained all of my predilections and discriminations, leaving my chop-meat-DNA- contrived- body, bereft of spirit, behind, in bed.
At first glance, I believed that I had died!
Out of body, I had conveyor belt travels sublime and terrifying, experiences directly tied to my previously monitored thoughts.
This is one recollection that illustrates how alien-proprietary- monitored-consciousness, is suffered by abductees:
I awakened slowly, and found myself underwater, in an experience more real in sensory totality, than just a vivid dream, yet another alien fingerprint silhouette, an imposed nighttime OBE, Out-of-Body-Experience.
Alien entities who after physical abductions, specialize in astral abductions, are predatory of our spiritual essences, essences that we as a race of beings, are barely aware of.
One's car is stopped on a lonely road and one ascends into an overhead waiting craft as one watches one's body in the car below recede from view.
But abductees rarely assess such contradictions, in their daily functioning concepts, of 'self'.
The spirit-entity 'self' that aliens abduct, tease away from our body to prey upon, retains personality and memory, and any injury to that energy causes mirror somatic injuries, later when body and spirit are reunited by alien contrivance.
As self-defense, by asserting and flexing one's spiritual prowess, one can use the same spiritual energy against them, that they seek to tamper with.
'Fighting fire-with-fire', mastering some metaphysics, can work to temporarily deter abductions, in the same way it can repel demons and negative-thought-entities of all ilks.
I have long corroborated with mystics,( Robert Bruce, "Astral Dynamics") who agree with my personal observation that white light surely feeds a meal of an energy lunch to dark force entities, and that's why they become quiescent, and that even prayer, as well as using white light, can make one an energy luncheon.
The more powerful a white light egg 'barrier', the more it attracts stronger negative-thought-entities, attracted to crave surmounting and overcoming such 'presented' challenges.
A barrier of visualized electric purple light, instead, has a frequency very disruptive to dark force entities/energies, but is a difficult color vibrational visualization to mentally sustain.
Electric blue, much easier to visualize, also has protective qualities of electric violet visualized around one.
Although most people are taught to use "white light", they are unaware of the inherent dangers and of these field tested psychic 'tools', which I herein, respectfully submit.
However, when I am asleep, I wander amongst beasties and monsters, and to date suffer poignant and vivid out-of-body-experiences, my defenses seemingly down.
In this experience, under twenty feet of water, I was semi-conscious but aware; I could doze, float and breathe normally, all while immersed, under a shoal, deep under a narrow inlet.
As I floated, I slowly became dimly aware that visually, ten or fifteen gray ghosts,
torpedo shapes, which had hovered nearby, now swam closer, nearer than twenty feet away.
Porpoises, a school of thirty gray forms, hovered in the inlet's shoal, nearby!
I struggled to come to my still dull senses, and watched as large torpedo shapes swam closer and as they approached they radiated discernible and palpable curiosity.
A large school of inquisitive silver-gray porpoises came very close, now, some within five feet, for a better look at me, still half awake and floating .
The very instant that my mind asserted a greater awareness, in an attempt to seize upon my predicament, at that very moment, they started en-masse, startled away, as though privy to and threatened by my thoughts.
With quick tail movements, they all vanished into the water's distant murky gloom.
Slammed with a jolt, back into my body, awakened in bed, I suddenly recalled a thought-sentence that I had very often repeated in my writings: "In the spiritual ocean tidal currents between two and six o'clock, I have stumbled across only negative thought entities, nighttime bedroom intruders; I have sadly met predominately sharks, and not ever, enlightened porpoises.."
This experience underlined aliens' astral abductions, and their meddling psychic
omnipresence, a first class disorder of consciousness predation, a signature symptom of alien abductees..
postscript:
To those UFO investigators who cling to 'hard evidences', I chide that"knowing for sure", isn't remotely the touted calibrated tool , in this realm .
Can we 'prove', for instance, that reptilian aliens fancy the taste of human beings? For years, at meetings at Bud Hopkins house in New York City, many abductees, over the years gleaned that ' we are a harvest', a mere condiment in the Universe, an echo of Rod Serling's Twilight Zone episode, "To Serve Man", when it comes to reptilian diets of human flesh.
"Hard facts and empirical scientific evidence", may assist with mere superficial craft sightings as logistics, but such an approach fails in revealing humankind's interactions with non-human intelligences behind the steering wheels of UFOs.
"Providing real proofs",. when the subtle evidences are as glaring as a trout in the milk, is a valueless endeavor, in this realm, an almost worthless forensic tool whose insistence upon, stultifies and inhibits, rather than illuminates this elusive subject.
This nighttime vivid OBE, Out-Of-Body-Experience, pointed to a proprietary alien creature with a too literal sense of my sentence's meaning, or perhaps, instead, one with a rarefied sense of humor.
I leave it in your hands, to weigh, consider and decide.
NASA tests impossible no-fuel quantum space engine and it works
NASA tests impossible no-fuel quantum space engine and it works
August 1, 2014 - A study conducted last year by NASA scientists has become the latest, and by far the highest profile, piece of evidence in favor of a seemingly impossible space thruster design that’s been evoking worldwide skepticism for some time now. Apparently annoyed by the persistent boosters of several similar but distinct designs, the space agency finally agreed to test an American-made variant called the Cannae Drive. “Alright!” they said. “We’ll test your stupid drive that won’t work.” Except it did work. Seemingly in contravention of the law of conservation of momentum, the team confirmed that the device produces thrust by using electricity, and nothing else. Supporters call them microwave thrusters or quantum vacuum plasma thrusters (QVPT), while most others use the phrase “anomalous thrust device.” First, the results of NASA’s experiment, since that’s all the team itself wants you to be talking about. Seemingly wanting to avoid unproductive controversy about the nature of existence, they’ve totally ignored the question of how the drive works in favour of simply reporting the data. With controls in place to avoid any confounding forces or variables, the NASA team recorded a reliable thrust between 30 and 50 micro-Newtons, less than a thousandth of the output of some relatively low-powered ion thrusters in use today. Still, the ion thrusters require fuel to operate, and the original QVPT inventor claims the version NASA tested is flawed, leading them to collect far lower thrust readings than his original can provide.
This is an older version of the QVPT than the one NASA tested, though it may still produce more thrust
If confirmed, the practical upshot of this technology would be amazing. Solar panels could provide the electricity needed to keep the thruster working, meaning that propulsion would be low-thrust and long-term with virtually no associated cost. That would not only drastically reduce the cost of keeping satellites running and in orbit, but it could make interstellar travel much easier; Harold White, of warp drive fame, predicted that a beefed up version of the QVPT could reach Proxima Centauri in about 30 years (assuming the concept actually works at all).
Warp drives aren’t such a harebrained concept any more, so why should quantum drives be?
While NASA might not want to talk about it, though, for us it’s worth discussing just how this drive’s creators hypothesize the thruster works. By now, most people are aware that the laws of classical physics tend to break down at the quantum scale, and exploiting that fact can give you interesting little physical impossibilities like infinitely accelerating negative-mass photons. However, the effects of these quantum-scale impossibilities have always stayed at the quantum scale; sure one atom could theoretically phase-shift through another, but we still can’t run through walls.
The central insight here (assuming this isn’t all a big mistake) is that something called quantum vacuum fluctuations will occasionally spontaneously create particles all throughout the vacuum of space, and that these short-lived particles can be put to useful work. Thus, this thruster actually does use fuel — it just finds and uses that fuel as it goes. The thruster essentially turns these virtual particles into a plasma and expels them out the back of the ship, much like a conventional fuel source. The quantum fuel, though, spontaneously appears inside the thruster’s reaction area without even the need for collection or injection hardware. All things considered, that’s more than a little exciting.
Ion thrusters are another low-powered solution, applying weak but constant acceleration
The original design, called the emDrive by creator Roger Shawyer, should get significantly more attention in the coming months, which ought to feel good given the long struggles he’s had with professional apathy and skepticism. As mentioned, the version tested by NASA is distinct from the emDrive, but still (they think) makes use of the quantum vacuum particles as the propellant. There are very preliminary plans to test a version of the drive in space, but such orbital work is expensive; now it might finally have the juice to warrant such a plan.
Space exploration costs billions and billions of dollars, which is why it's serious business. NASA is firmly of that mind set and doesn't go about validating bogus theories willy nilly, but this week it's - seemingly begrudgingly - lent credence to the practical application of a microwave space drive that requires no propellant and can instead...

We" Were Fast But Noisy … "They" Were Faster But Noiseless Heading For The Western White House
So, once again the strange daytime black blob is making its sky appearance – just as it has done numerous times already as covered by UFO Disclosure Countdown Clock.
Me, my mother and stepfather were sitting on the deck out back by the pool. My stepfather was looking west for birds when he noticed this object and said to us, what’s that? A balloon? Quickly realizing it’s not following the wind heading east. He grabbed the binoculars as my mother and I found it. This is where the video starts. It was just enough to focus in with your bare eyes. It was shaped like a barrel, overblown to the point of bowing. The “wooden slats” now spaced apart from the bowing appeared to be a metal, greyish in color. With at least two, possibly three horizontal straps made of the same metal. The interior if you will was close to a deflated football tight against the straps but wrinkled from being half flat. From what we could see through the binoculars it had roughly the same texture as the football. My stepfather and I both agree we “seemed to see” a teardrop tip on top. It was hovering and rotating, gaining and losing altitude, slowly heading north northwest starting out where we perceived the Columbia international airport is, if not over it, definitely in their direct airspace with at least one commercial airplane taking off not but a half mile or so away. Unfortunately the plane didn’t make the video. We watched it for 15 minutes with no new surprises until it was too small to see where we perceived to be Lake Murray.
Obviously based on the description through the binoculars the object had some `character’ – and as noted above, the UDCC has covered the `daytime black blob’ phenomena before – here’s one Example.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO ALIEN ABDUCTIONS?by Nick Pope.
In the late Eighties and throughout the Nineties, alien abductions were at the heart of ufology. How did what might be regarded as a subset of ufology become its central meme? Abductions (irrespective of whether one believes they take place in a literal sense) could arguably be regarded as an evolution of the contactee phenomenon, and for those who believe UFOs are extraterrestrial spacecraft, it’s only logical that one should look beyond the vehicles and focus on the nature and agenda of the occupants. John Keel’s 1967 article “Never Mind the Saucer! Did You See the Guys Who Were Driving?” articulates this point perfectly, but it wasn’t until the publication of “Missing Time” (1981), “Intruders” (1987) and “Communion” (1987) that Keel’s question became the question most asked in the UFO community.

THE SUPERNATURAL POWER OF THE ARK OF THE COVENANT AND OTHER ANCIENT ASTRONAUT MYSTERIESBy Sean Casteel.
Recent programs on the History Channel and elsewhere on cable television have helped popularize the concept that extraterrestrials have been visiting Earth since time immemorial and have been responsible for many of the advancements of human civilization. Once the mainstay of writers such as Erich von Daniken, Brinsley Le Poer Trench and W.R. Drake, the concept has since inspired big budget movie epics and television shows like “Ancient Aliens” and, more recently, “In Search Of Aliens,” hosted by the "wild-haired" Giorgios Tsoukalos.

CATTLE MUTILATION REPORTED TO MUFON MISSOURIby Roger Marsch.
A Wright County, MO, radio station employee filed a report for a local listener who experienced a recent cattle mutilation, according to July 28, 2014, testimony in Case 58460 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database. More.
LTHE LITTLE GREEN MEN OF LA PLATA - THE VILLA MONTORO CASEby Scott Corrales.
Toward late November and during the month of December of 1983, the neighborhood of Villa Montoro on the outskirts of La Plata (capital of the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina) became the epicenter for a series of reports by local residents – mainly children and teenagers – who claimed having witnessed encounters with small, greenish, humanoid entities. The case became known as “the little green men of La Plata” and it caused significant local interest in the early days of the restoration of democratic rule in the country. More...
MERWIN AREA SIGHTING JULY 23, 2014!by Lori Carter.
Even though we are no longer doing field research, we still hear about strange objects and events and as we have stated before, we will share these on the Midnight Observer. The following sighting was sent to me on the morning of July 24th, 2014 via Facebook. The young lady that submitted the information to me also included drawings of what she saw. She was, at one time, involved in paranormal research herself. Following is the report as she sent it to us. More
TIME TRAVEL AND THE BLACK MIRRORby Dirk Vanderr Ploeg.
Sometimes it is best to hear directly from the Experiencers themselves and we feel this is one of those times. The following account describes what the HR Team believes is time travel. If it is not Time Travel in the literal sense, this may have been interdimensional travel. In any case, it is reminiscent of some of Jim Sparks’ and others’ time travel encounters. More...
THE SKYWHALE - REVIEWby Deborah Richards.
The basic premise of ‘The Skywhale’ by Deborah Richards is that UFOs are really living creatures that can hover and fly through the sky. In the book Esme and her teenage brother George find a skywhale while they are out treasure-hunting with a metal detector in the silt of a river estuary. The creature had been basking just under the silt and the metal detector wakes it up. It rises up into the air and flies off with the two young people clinging onto the roots (or are they veins?) on the creature’s back. Esme can communicate with the creature telepathically but George is already too old. Over the course of a day they discover that the skywhale is highly intelligent with a great sense of humour and a liking for danger that ultimately gets them all into trouble. The skywhale is pan-dimensional and can ‘jump’ out of trouble but the youngsters are not. More...
COMPARING UFO BUFFS AND RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISTSby Ron Murdock.
I find a common theme among the human race is how one group can criticize others for alleged absurd beliefs yet hold on to what could be called equally absurd beliefs. An example if UFO buffs and religious fundamentalists. UFO believers have been regarded as a flaky bunch while religious leaders and followers are generally thought of as outstanding citizens. There are times I beg to differ. More..

REMEMBER THE SUNKEN CITY NEAR CUBA?by April Holloway.
Just over a decade ago, a team of explorers were working on an exploration and survey mission off the western coast of Cuba when their sonar equipment picked up a perplexing series of stone structures lying some 650 metres below the surface. The structures appeared completely analogous against the barren ‘desert’ of the ocean floor and seemed to show symmetrically organized stones reminiscent of an urban development. A media flurry soon ensued with news sites sporting headlines such as ‘Atlantis Discovered in Cuba’ and ‘Lost City of the Caribbean Found’. More...
ELONGATED SKULLS MAY NOT HAVE HUMAN ORIGINSby Dirk Vander Ploeg.
More than 300 elongated skulls – the largest ones in the world - were found in a massive graveyard on Peru’s Paracas Peninsula in 1928. While elongated skulls usually are formed by various methods of head binding, the Paracas skulls are quite different. Several February 2014 articles report that the Paracas skulls are 60 percent heavier than normal human skulls and have 25 percent more volume. With simple head binding neither the weight nor the volume of a skull is increase, only reshaped..More...
THE LONG LEGACY OF MILITARY INTELLIGENCE AND FLYING SAUCERS - PART IIIby Doc Vega.
There are several aspects that can be broken down into the multi-level approach to intelligence analysis. One of the primary prerogatives is sociological impact. We know now from recent revelations that the hysteria created during the Orson Wells broadcast of “War of the Worlds” in 1938 was indeed intended to monitor the public’s response to an ominous announcement of an invasion from a hostile extraterrestrial civilization. Obviously the results were nearly catastrophic. The havoc created by that one radio play regardless of the numerous reminders that it was merely a Fireside Theater radio performance made little difference to a listening audience that had experienced pandemonium.

The discovery was unveiled during a teleconference with reporters on Tuesday and is the subject of an upcoming paper in The Astrophysical Journal.
The two bubbles could have been inflated by a past eruption from the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.
The bubbles span 50,000 light-years across the sky.
They were found with NASA’s Fermi Gamma-Ray Telescope, which surveys the sky every three hours for the highest-energy light.
Among the 1,500 sources of gamma rays Fermi has mapped so far, nothing resembles the bubble-shaped structures, which stretch across more than half of the visible sky, from the constellation Virgo to the constellation Grus.
“We know it didn’t get to be that big by sitting there quietly all the time. It certainly has had big accretion events in the past, where material falls on it and then some of that material comes back out as high-energy particles blasted out in the form of a jet,” Finkbeiner said.
“You have to ask where could energy like that come from,” said astronomer Doug Finkbeiner, with the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

due to its apparent shape and size and brightness. When I saw the shape, I knew. So I ran into the house and woke my husband. I told him he had to get up, because he would never believe me. He did, and we watched it fly over the house together. I ran into the front yard to continue watching it. I was a little frightened and hid under some trees in case it was watching me. I cannot tell you its size, maybe 1/6 size of the moon and later the size of a large star. It was solid white, almost blinding light. It was either a chevron shape or boomerang shape, similar to a stealth shape, but not a complete triangle. It did not change directions, but instead flew in almost a straight line until it blinked out. It was too bright for my husband to make out the shape of it, but I could see the shape as it flew directly over my head prior to waking him. We were able to watch it together for at least 30 seconds before it disappeared from our sight. I am a military vet and my husband is an executive on an Army base. This was definitely an aircraft with no blinking lights, nor colors. It seemed to be an illuminated craft, as opposed to a craft with outside lights. It was blazing bright.

Will will discuss Andrew Colvin’s resurrected New Saucerian Press.
Andy Colvin is an eclectic artist, filmmaker, writer, musician, and media host who has been called “his generation’s Charles Fort,” the “Sherlock Holmes of synchro-conspiracy,” and “one of America’s great, pain-in-the-butt original thinkers.” Colvin was one of the founders of the “xerox” or “guerilla art” movement now popular in galleries from London to Los Angeles. Colvin was also one of the first “spoken word” artists, and is considered by some to be the world’s foremost authority on the mysterious “Mothman” phenomenon, due to his early experiences with the phenomenon and his intensive audovisual documentation of symbols and synchronicities.
Colvin’s often controversial theories have made him a popular speaker on venues like Coast to Coast AM, Ground Zero, NPR, RAI, BBC, and PBS, and have gained him a dedicated following. In 2011, Colvin co-hosted the popular conspiracy show, “That Was the Month That Wasn’t,” which examined how the media blends stories to subconsciously “manufacture consent” in the public mind. Colvin currently co-hosts two wide-ranging internet radio shows, “The Stench of Truth” and “The Church of Mabus,” which explore various esoteric topics.
Following in the footsteps of Fortean author John A. Keel, Colvin has blazed a 21st Century trail of investigation into mysteries that have influenced mankind for centuries, such as UFOs, creature entities, magic, and the psychology of the human mind. Colvin’s approach is unique in that it blends a background of genuine paranormal experience with decades of research into political science, history, media behavior, and sociology. His understanding of art and symbology has, at times, allowed Colvin to connect dots that previously escaped attention.
In the 1960s, on a West Virginia backroad, Colvin’s neighborhood was hit by a series of mysterious phenomena, such as exotic flying craft, Men in Black, and the intriguing entity now known as “Mothman.” Following these encounters, Colvin found that he could draw, sing, and take pictures, and that he had a photographic memory. He was recognized as a prodigy, and was eventually offered a scholarship to Harvard University. While in college, Colvin broke ground in several then-new disciplines, such as street art, performance art, and “shamanic conceptual” art. In the early 1980s, Colvin made a splash in the New York art world by taking on the persona of “Whiz,” a practitioner of “collaborative art.” This unique approach allowed Colvin to actually work in some manner with several notable artists.
While attending graduate school at the University of Texas at Austin, Colvin helped found U.T.’s celebrated Transmedia Department, as well as the Austin Film Society, an organization now credited with bringing commercial filmmaking to Texas. In 1985, Colvin used his tuition grant money to purchase the only 8mm camcorder then available, becoming the first filmmaker in Austin to shoot in the new format. His ensuing documentation of the lives of local “slackers” influenced the seminal cult hit that defined Generation-X, “Slacker.” (Colvin’s band, “Ed Hall,” appeared in the film and on the soundtrack.)
Following graduate school, Colvin worked on Hollywood films, toured with his experimental troupe, “The Interdimensional Vortex League” (once named America’s “most underground band”), and began making small, ethnographic documentaries about unusual tribes, subcultures, and personalities.
Colvin’s work has been seen or heard in all 50 states, and in several foreign countries. His writing has appeared in various magazines, including Paranoia, The Stranger, Inside the Grassy Knoll, and D’Art, the arts journal for the Church of the Subgenius. Colvin’s unique career has been studded with various mind-blowing, synchronistic events, some of which allowed him to study with, or work with, some of the greatest creative minds of the 20th Century, including Nam June Paik, Dennis Hopper, David Lynch, Robert Anton Wilson, Laurie Anderson, Daniel Johnston, Vito Acconci, Bruce Bickford, Ron English, Frank Kozik, Kal Spelletich, Richard Linklater, Linda Schele, and the Butthole Surfers.
Graun and Reschen underwater towns – Italy These towns in the Italian-Swiss alps had been around since Roman times, but in 1950s plans to make a lake that united others were underway and the towns were flooded. What's left? A 14th century bell tower. Beneath the surface–163 abandoned buildings. If this intrigues you, consider seeing “Deliverance” or “In Dreams,” two movies that involve towns going underwater.
Bimini This area in the Bahamas became famous by people speculating it might be Atlantis. Underwater stones that look like an ancient roadway have caused lots of theory and debate, as well as attracted a lot of divers.
Underwater sculpture Amazingly brilliant and talented artist, Jason deCaires Taylor , combines art and science. He places his sculptures in the water and lets nature breathe them to life.
Underwater caves There are some crazy adventurers who enjoy diving in underwater caves. I cannot think of a more lonely and silent tomb possible, but the sights must be amazing since very few humans have ever seen them. If one is claustrophic, just diving is scary, but diving in a cave–that's the ultimate test!
Sunken ships The ultimate find was the Titanic, but there are still sunken ships with bootie waiting to be found. For divers, they are lonely playgrounds. For those in the Bermuda Triangle, they are unsolved mysteries. For those in the Great Lakes, it's the Edmund Fitzgerald. These are sort of like urban exploration, perhaps we could call it submergian exploration.
Shark diving Yes, people actually voluntarily want to dive with sharks. Places like this one make it possible to try it out. I guess if you want to face your greatest fear, that would do it!
Lake Michigan Stonehenge In 2007, while surveying the bottom of Lake Michigan, they found on sonar groupings of stones in a 40-foot circle and what appeared to be a Mastadon carved into one stone (lived 10,000 years ago). Ironically, it is not at all out of place with the petroglyphs, mounds, and signs of “Originators” in that region.
Cuban Underwater City In 2001, an underwater city was found off the coast of Cuba. It covers 2 square kilometers, and is over 2000 feet down. Interestingly, skeptics say it can't be man made, it would have been 50,000 years ago for it to be sea covered by now. If verified it is man-made, it will verify legends by Mayans and Incans of a civilization on an island that sank.
A Ukraine witness at Izmail reported that a UFO appeared in two photographs taken less than six seconds apart with no sound or light being observed, according to August 1, 2014, testimony in Case 58570 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness stepped outside onto a balcony about 6:31 a.m. on July 14, 2014, where he got the idea to take two photographs of the sky about six seconds apart from each other.

Mysterieus meer verschijnt plots in woestijn Tunesië
Mysterieus meer verschijnt plots in woestijn Tunesië
In de Tunesische woestijn lijkt een mysterieus meer uit het niets te zijn verschenen. Sommigen spreken van een wonder, anderen noemen het een vloek, vertelde journalist Lakhdar Souid aan France 24. Het nieuws verspreidde zich als een lopend vuurtje en honderden mensen zochten sinds de ontdekking verkoeling in het aanvankelijk heldere turquoise water.
Het meer is een aantal weken geleden ontdekt door herders en werd ‘het meer van Gafsa’ gedoopt, naar de gelijknamige stad in het zuiden van Tunesië. Het meer, met een oppervlakte van een hectare, zou 18 meter diep zijn.
Geologen vermoeden dat het grondwater naar de oppervlakte is gekomen als gevolg van een kleine aardbeving. De autoriteiten waarschuwen voor de mogelijke gevaren van het meer. Door de aanwezigheid van fosfaat, dat radioactief afval kan achterlaten, is er een kans dat het water kankerverwekkend is, meldt Tunisia Daily. Daarnaast zou het water vol zitten met algen.
Un miracle à GAFSA de la nature et ses caprices, un lac vient de surgir de la croute terrestre T° de 40° en été
De enige troef die Gafsa heeft, zijn de fosfaatmijnen die Tunesië tot de vijfde producent van de wereld maken. Het grijze goud dient als een belangrijke grondstof voor kunstmest en is een kurk waar de Tunesische economie op drijft.
Experts waarschuwden uit voorzorg dat het water ‘gevaarlijk is en niet geschikt om in te zwemmen’, terwijl wetenschappers watermonsters analyseren. De meeste mensen trekken zich weinig aan van de waarschuwing.
Einstein, Tesla, Hawking and Many more Respected Figures have theorized that it is Possible to Time Travel, Simple in Fact.. Are we already in a World where Time Travel is Happening? Whats with all the Cover ups and Secret Projects? There is a Lot of Military Personnel coming forward regarding Time Travel Recently, Surely all these Story’s are not for the Purpose of Selling Books? Are they?
There are several aspects that can be broken down into the multi-level approach to intelligence analysis. One of the primary prerogatives is sociological impact. We know now from recent revelations that the hysteria created during the Orson Wells broadcast of “War of the Worlds” in 1938 was indeed intended to monitor the public’s response to an ominous announcement of an invasion from a hostile extraterrestrial civilization. Obviously the results were nearly catastrophic. The havoc created by that one radio play regardless of the numerous reminders that it was merely a Fireside Theater radio performance made little difference to a listening audience that had experienced pandemonium.
Manipulating an unsuspecting public
Military analysts as well as sociologists learned very quickly just how easily such a reaction could be provoked from the public at large under the aegis of a sudden disclosure of disturbing proportions. No doubt this became the frame work for the US Air Force’s official approach to the UFO frenzy that was about to descend upon the American public a few years later from 1947 on. The use of military style intelligence strategy during Roswell ranged from disinformation to outright threats of physical violence. Mack Brazel was held in communicado after bringing artifacts from the UFO crash that occurred roughly 75 miles north of Roswell on that week in July 1947. Brazel was even coerced into retracting his statements on the local radio station by military interrogators.
Nonexistent evidence
Decades later researchers found that old base operation records at Roswell Air Field had been illegally destroyed once the DOA under the direction of Representative Steven Schiff, who vowed to settle the Roswell UFO mystery once and for all. It is clear that intentions were to scrub the Roswell incident from all sources possible and for years to come in order to marginalize any claims of the crash of an alien disk on Mack Brazel’s ranch on that stormy July evening in 1947. General Roger Ramey’s cover story of a weather balloon was implausible at best, but it served to quell the sensation of the initial Roswell Airfield public information release to the local radio station authorized by Base, Commander Butch Blanchard, who had ordered Lieutenant Walter Haute to deliver it. Thanks to quick thinking and the implementation of counter intelligence techniques the accidental disclosure of an alien crash in the New Mexico desert was conveniently thwarted.
Implausible explanations
During his tenure with Project Blue Book as a technical advisor, Astro Physicist, Doctor J. Allen Hynek used disinformation tactics under the direction of US Air Force high command to help derail any spectacular UFO sightings that could possibly alarm the public or divulge the existence of extraterrestrial life before the federal government and the Defense Department were ready to do so. Using such mundane explanations as swamp gas and the planet Venus, Hynek was usually able to head off any undue suspicion or detailed investigation by the mainstream media with few exceptions. Thanks to the intended marginalization of Project Blue Book by the Robertson Panel in 1953 another aspect of military intelligence was utilized known as compartmentalization. While Project Blue Book was transformed into a PR front for the Air Force the more serious cases that posed a threat to the policy of secrecy were funneled up the ladder to Wright Patterson AFB for further investigation.
Polishing deception
With the occurrence of still further crash events and dramatic UFO sightings to come, the US Air Force, CIA, and FBI along with other intelligence branches of the armed services were refining their approach to mitigation of the flying saucer dilemma. Fast response teams were formed, a policy of harsh intimidation was adopted onsite, and witnesses were discouraged or escorted from areas that were cordoned off as soon as possible. First hand witnesses at crash sites were quickly exposed to interrogation style treatment by military authorities to further intimidate and promote reluctance by the public to persist in reporting what they saw. Even military personnel ordered to respond to crash sites and conduct interviews of witnesses were they themselves subjected to denial, repudiation, aggressive debriefings, and even threats.
Pursuing lights in the forest
As the security personnel at RAF Bentwaters Strategic Air Command Base in Great Britain were soon to find out after several nights of chasing unidentified lights through the nearby Rendlesham Forest, security strike teams were subjected to hostile interrogations as well as mind altering drugs to scrub their memories. Some researchers say that one or more of the security personnel at Bent Waters came in contact with an alien presence after chasing down one ebony colored craft that had a sleek angular design. The security officer was reportedly stunned into unconsciousness while his companion registered missing time during the course of the bizarre event. Others, such as Colonel Halt, reported one alien space craft they had tracked accelerating skyward and splitting into multiple objects that displayed bright colors.
The Bentwaters Incident
Authorities involved such as Strategic Air Command’s intelligence branch and the British Int. Corps as well as the infamous M15 counter intelligence corps, who both used disinformation and denial to try and delegitimize any shred of truth that could have leaked to the public in the aftermath of the incidents. Such staged explanations as a supposed Apollo Mission recovery operation happened to be going on simultaneously as well the misidentification of a nearby lighthouse beam mistaken by Bent Waters security teams were used as questionable explanations for the series of disturbing events that went on just outside the perimeter of a SAC base that was later disclosed to have been harboring a secret nuclear weapons arsenal!
The nuclear attraction
Perhaps as has been the case at Sandia Weapons Storage and the Manzano Underground Facility at nearby Kirkland AFB in Albuquerque, New Mexico where frequent UFO sightings have occurred, RAF Bentwaters too became a focal point due to the unknown presence of their nuclear stockpile. Yet, ongoing intelligence operations were keen on maintaining secrecy at all costs even if it involved scrubbing the minds of their own base officers in order to conceal the truth. It seems that the intelligence game is just as ruthless as the enemies that it supposedly exists to counter in the event of a cold war or the outbreak of hostilities. Yet, the long legacy of military intelligence and the flying saucer will most likely continue for some time until a sincere effort at disclosure has been unveiled to the public.
In Part IV we will discuss some of the more regrettable actions taken against individuals considered a threat because of their disclosure of UFO evidence and the intelligence tactics used against them.

A tide of reported goblin encounters that have swept the African mainstream alternate media in recent days left me astonished! Strange goblins are poisoning poor lady’s food, turning successful businessman into a bankrupt and even burning houses down in the dearly beloved Africa.
First off, Lydia Motaung from Qalabotjiha in Villiers, Free State, claims that a goblin, an “invisible thing” called the tokoloshe, is poisoning her family to death. Lydia’s sister died this March after she became very ill from eating the food prepared in her house, leading her to believe that a goblin is poisoning her entire yard!
“All the food that comes into my yard is poisoned by an invisible thing. I think it’s a tokoloshe and it wants to kill my whole family.”
“The symptoms are always the same – dry throat, dizziness, terrible fever and severe headache.”
Not only that, the goblin is also causing irritation and domestic fights in the family:
“It’s painful to see family members turning against each other and being unable to help each other when we are sick. We need help to get rid of this thing,” Now, here’s another case, where a Frans Ngakane says his once successful spaza business is close to shutting down due to “a very aggressive mpundulo (zombie)”. It reportedly hisses from the store ceiling and steals his money:
“Once it stole R800 of the week’s taking of R2000. I was angry, thinking my children stole the money, but I discovered it wasn’t them. Sangomas [healers] told me this tokoloshe was sent to make me poor.”
His daughter has left the house and his wife can’t stand him. Business rivals now treat him as a joke. Poor Frans now requests churches to come pray for him. Hope his plight is soon over.
Finally, the news of the era. Seems my earlier blog on Violent Exorcisms: The Modern Day Witch Hunt? was really important after all. Mike Musiiwa, a self-proclaimed Sangoma from the Chief Nyajena area in Masvingo, took advantage of his uncle’s absence from his house, and set his property, worth about a $1,000 one fire! Yes, and in his defence, he said before Masvingo provincial magistrate Sibonginkosi Mkandla:
“I just wanted to destroy his goblins, which I did.”

Sonora, CA – 4/3/2014 – unedited: Arriving home at 12:59 am, I startled what I thought was a deer at the bottom of my property. I thought it was a deer because that is what I usually see in the middle of the night. The thing that made me think it was a deer I was looking at were the two dark eyes. To my surprise, the “deer” stood up on two legs instead of scampering off into the brush. It stood up and stared back at me for long 5 seconds or so. It then turned and ran into an invisible doorway and disappeared. It was tall. Approximately 7 feet tall. Beige in color. Two tones of blonde and dirty blonde. The head was huge. Squarish on the top. Skinny. Had a body like the Geiko lizard. Skinny arms. No tapering from shoulders to waist.
If that wasn’t strange enough, after reentering the car after getting out to unlock the gate to my driveway, all of the windows in the car were wide open. There was also a perfect hole punctured through the shirt I was wearing. – MUFON CMS
A Vietnam War veteran is speaking out exclusively to FOX10 News after he claims a burglar broke into his home and smoked the ashes of his deceased wife.
Last week, Citronelle resident and Vietnam Vet, Phillip McMullen, went out of town to stay with some friends. While he was gone, he said the unspeakable happened.
“(The burglar) ransacked my house, tried to break in my gun safe, which, they weren’t able to, they even took my wife’s ashes off my headboard, strewed them around, looked like they tried to smoke some of them or something,” McMullen said, “I guess they figured out this stuff ain’t worth smoking, so they threw it up underneath one of my toolboxes.”
McMullen said he thinks the burglar thought the ashes were drugs, since the ashes were kept in a plastic box, rather than a metal urn.
“Tried it out to see if it was some kind of drugs, and I bet that was a nasty taste when they (did) that though,” said McMullen.
“It makes me want to fight again,” victim says.
McMullen said he and his wife were married for 22 years, and now, he’s hoping the burglar will be caught, so justice can be served.
The burglar was able to break in McMullen’s house through a window, the victim told FOX10. Once inside, the thief stole some 15 items, according to the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office, including a generator, chainsaw, knife and fishing rods and reels. McMullen said he was furious when he first saw what happened.
“It’s hard to put in words, it makes me want to fight again, and I don’t like to fight,” said McMullen. “I don’t know if God will forgive them for what they’ve done or not.”
Meanwhile, the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office is continuing the investigation, and is hoping someone will do the right thing and turn the criminal in.
“If someone did something like this, that’s just horrible,” said Lori Myles, with the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office, “and if we do prove that he has tampered with this urn, there will be additional charges, such as desecration of a grave.”
Sheriff’s officials say the burglar is still at large, and they need your help to find the thief. If you know anything about this crime. – Fox10TV
Flesh-Eating Bacteria Haunting Florida This Summer
ABC Action News has confirmed that there was a death in Sarasota County from the flesh-eating bacteria. The Sarasota Health Department apologized for not reporting it sooner.
New warnings issued Monday surrounding a bacteria found in the ocean that has already killed several people in Florida.
It is called Vibrio vulnificus, a cousin of the bacterium that causes Cholera and it thrives in warm saltwater. “Since it is naturally found in warm marine waters, people with open wounds can be exposed to Vibrio vulnificus through direct contact with seawater,” the Florida Department of Health said in a statement.
The Florida Department of Health reports 32 people have contracted the bacteria and 10 have died from the strain. Last year, 41 people were infected and 11 died. Florida isn’t the only state to report Vibrio vulnificus infections. Alabama, Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi have also recorded cases.
“It’s quite discouraging because the beach is one of the more popular hobbies in Florida,” said Tracy Brown of West Palm Beach.
Brown, who was enjoying a day at the beach with her daughter, had not really heard about the Vibrio bacterium.
She was stunned to hear someone could become sick by simply entering the water.
“The last thing you want to think about is going to the beach and leaving with something you least expect,” said Brown.
Florida Department of Health experts said anyone with a compromised immune system or anyone with an open cut should not go into the water. Those who do jump into the ocean should wash off before heading home .
“It’s definitely something to take serious, but there are a number of other bacteria, that you could run into,” said Tim O’Connor, a spokesperson for the Florida Department of Health.
O’Connor said the state is closely monitoring the Vibrio bacteria. So far, he said the situation is not severe.
No cases have yet to be reported in Palm Beach County.
“It’s definitely something we need to be more wary of especially if it’s going to affect us sooner than later, it needs to be known,” said Brown.
The deadly bacteria can also be contracted from consuming raw seafood like oysters.
Steve Gyland, owner of Cod and Cappers Fish Market, is all too familiar with the impact the Vibrio bacteria can have on someone, he survived it.
“It was like you were on fire. Like a burn-blister from a fire. It was weeks before I could walk on that leg,” said Gyland.
On a scuba diving trip to the Bahamas, Gyland came into contact with the bacteria through a blister on his left foot.
Had he waited, Gyland believes it could have been worse.
“You could just watch the red, blistery skin just grow and expand and move up your leg,” said Gyland.
But Gyland also sells an item at his market that the state health department warns is a leading cause of contracting the Vibrio bacteria, raw oysters.
“If we eat raw foods, there’s always a risk, absolutely there’s a risk,” said Gyland.
Gyland said he posts warning all over his store and suggests people who are worried should buy oysters from cooler climates to the north.
The state health department said it is monitoring the situation and is telling consumers to cook their oysters before eating the shellfish. – ABC Action News
The following report concerns alien contact and a possible MIB encounter. It was submitted to NUFORC and occurred near Tonopah, Arizona on July 1, 2009 at approx. 10:30 PM. The area is in western Maricopa County, Arizona, approximately 50 miles west of downtown Phoenix off Interstate 10. The community of Tonopah is near the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, the largest nuclear power plant in the country. There have been considerable UFO/alien accounts from this general area including rumors that a deep underground facility is nearby:
While in the desert near the Palo Verde Nuclear Plant, the main witness and some friends saw a very large triangle shaped UFO. They were driving down a dirt road and saw a bright flashing light. They had seen objects in the area before and their intentions were to look for UFO’s. According to the witnesses, people that live in this area have been chased in their cars and seen objects on a regular basis. They went off the road behind some mountains, and no sooner had they come around the mountain they saw the large flashing light. All of them were scared but, at the same time, curious.
The main witness friend’s girlfriend was crying and telling them to turn around; they got within 2 to 300 yards from the light. It was the size of three football fields, triangular in shape, and had windows around it. It was about 3 stories tall, and about 30 feet off the ground, they flashed their lights and it flashed back, in the same sequence of flashes. The main witness and his friend, James, got out of the car and walked closer. The closer they got, the better they could make out what was standing in the windows. They could see small big headed aliens, and then 7 to 9 foot tall aliens, they based this on the size of the windows. Some of the windows they could see through, the other windows were dark, but then the dark windows, cleared up one by one, and as they went clear more and more aliens appeared on the windows. James was supposedly videotaping the whole time. The main witness was terrified but excited at the same time.
They walked closer and had to stop because the heat coming from the craft was so intense. The craft hovered and then landed. A large panel at the bottom of the craft opened and two aliens proceeded to walk out. This absolutely terrified the witnesses, but they couldn’t move or talk. The main witness remembers trying to scream and run but they couldn’t move or talk. Two others were in the car honking the horn, and screaming for them to come back, but they couldn’t respond or move.
The aliens walked up to within 20 feet of them. One of them was very thin and tall, about 8-9 feet, the other one was about 3-4 feet tall. The witnesses stood there in amazement, shocked because they couldn’t move or speak. Then calmness came over them and the aliens began speaking to them telepathically, they were saying not to be scared that they were not going to harm them. This “conversation” went on between the 4 of them for 15-20 minutes. They said they were here to help us, so that we would not destroy our planet, and that there was a horrible event coming soon, that it had to be stopped. One of the witnesses asked if it was something like ‘9/11’ and they said that it was bigger and that it would come from the Middle East. The main witness then thought to himself that he had been in this situation before and the tall alien heard his thoughts and repeated his name and said that yes, he had been visited before when he was 6 years old in Deming, New Mexico. He had been in the desert exploring and they had talked to him then. He had blocked that out, but it all suddenly came back, they said they knew they were coming and wanted them to warn people about global warming and what was to come if they didn’t take start taking care of our planet. Visions of disaster then entered their heads, as if to show them what was to come.
The taller alien then walked closer, and held his hand. He was no longer scared, neither was his friend, James. They said that they would see them again soon and to warn people about ‘saving our planet’. Supposedly James was recording the whole time. The aliens then returned to the craft and it was gone in a split second. When the craft left they both felt weak, but managed to make their way back to the car, when they got there the occupants of the car, Heather and Jamie, were not crying anymore they just hugged the witnesses. For a minute the car would not start and suddenly it just turned on by itself. As they started to drive away three military helicopters appeared and began shining their lights on the witnesses. Then two military Hummers showed up and chased the witnesses. They tried to avoid the Hummers but were told over a speaker to pull over or they would be forced to shoot at them. They pulled over and military personnel surrounded their vehicle. Two men dressed in black opened the door and asked them to get out. One of them looked familiar to the main witness. He asked the witnesses to get out and both questioned them, while the military personnel searched the car. They asked them what they had seen, how long they had been there and if they had had any contact with the alien ship. One of the soldiers then found the video camera. The men in black reviewed it and told the witnesses they were not to speak of this, they then confiscated the camera and took the main witness with them. The other 3 witnesses asked where they were going and they told them not to worry about it. He left with them and they questioned him further. He kept staring at one of the men since he looked familiar. They then dropped him off on the I-10 highway near Tonopah Joe’s restaurant. There he was later picked up by his friends.

In the late Eighties and throughout the Nineties, alien abductions were at the heart of ufology. How did what might be regarded as a subset of ufology become its central meme? Abductions (irrespective of whether one believes they take place in a literal sense) could arguably be regarded as an evolution of the contactee phenomenon, and for those who believe UFOs are extraterrestrial spacecraft, it’s only logical that one should look beyond the vehicles and focus on the nature and agenda of the occupants. John Keel’s 1967 article “Never Mind the Saucer! Did You See the Guys Who Were Driving?” articulates this point perfectly, but it wasn’t until the publication of “Missing Time” (1981), “Intruders” (1987) and “Communion” (1987) that Keel’s question became the question most asked in the UFO community.
Of the three books mentioned, Whitley Strieber’s “Communion” did most to move alien abductions out of the ufological fringe and onto centre stage, and from there, into the mainstream public awareness. From there, things snowballed. Abduction plotlines were featured in “The X-Files” and a wide range of other TV shows and movies, while the image on the front cover of “Communion” became embedded in public consciousness, further boosted by the so-called alien autopsy film in 1995. In 2002 Steven Spielberg’s TV mini-series “Taken” illustrated that abductions were still big news and big business.
All this time, abductions were the central focus for much of the UFO community, and the three charismatic figures of Budd Hopkins, David Jacobs and John Mack were at the heart of things. While the centre of gravity was America, interest was global. My own book on the alien abduction mystery, “The Uninvited”, got to number seven in the UK hardback non-fiction chart, while the US mass-market paperback edition, published by Dell, was also a best-seller, clearly showing not only that abductions were the dominant force in ufology, but also that the subject had broken out into mainstream media and public awareness.
Now let’s fast forward to 2014. One hears comparatively little about alien abductions, even within the UFO community, where the main current areas of interest are government cover-ups, ‘Disclosure’, secret space program/‘breakaway civilization’, the Rendlesham Forest incident, and – perhaps most prominently of all – the resurgence of the ancient astronaut/ancient aliens hypothesis. What’s going on? There are a number of theories and it’s worth running through them.
At the extreme end of the belief spectrum, for those who think abductions take place in a literal, physical way, as many abductees claim, there’s the suggestion that the alien agenda is coming to its climax. Such people regard abductions as an extraterrestrial project, usually characterized as a human/alien hybridization program. If abductions have declined, or stopped altogether, does this not suggest that the program is coming to an end, or has finished? If this is the case, what happens next? Is some dramatic development just around the corner? It’s certainly food for thought.
There are, of course, some more prosaic possibilities. As a journalist and broadcaster, I know that interest in just about everything is cyclic. There comes a time when saturation point is reached and people lose interest, not least because pretty much everything there is to say has already been said. Whether this is reflected in, or driven by the media is open to debate, but editors and producers looking at abductions these days are inclined to say things like “that’s a bit passé”, or “this has all been done to death”. If this is the case, perhaps interest will return, just as interest in the ancient astronaut theory has returned. The TV show “Ancient Aliens” may have driven this resurgence, but it only worked because a new generation of people were genuinely interested in ideas that had been popularized back in the Seventies by authors such as Erich von Däniken.
What other factors could explain the lack of coverage and (apparent) lack of interest in abductions? One cannot overstate the influence of individuals when it comes to driving the agenda in a subject, whether they do so deliberately or not. Simply put, Budd Hopkins, David Jacobs and John Mack played a huge role in putting abductions centre stage within ufology, and now that Hopkins and Mack are both dead, the greater part of that impetus is gone. This is in no way meant to disparage the work of other ufologists and abductees, or downplay the continuing influence of writers such as Whitley Strieber, but there’s no getting away from the fact that the deaths of Hopkins and Mack dealt a hefty blow to abduction research.
There have been other assaults on the validity of abductions and the credibility of both abduction researchers and abductees. The debate over whether regression hypnosis can recover hidden memories, distort existing ones or even implant false ones was the first shot across the bows. Concerns about using regression hypnosis on abductees segued into wider concerns about the propriety of ufologists dealing with abductees. This was essentially a therapist/patient relationship in a situation where some of the people claiming abduction experiences (real or not) were extremely vulnerable. Were abduction researchers suitably qualified or otherwise equipped to deal with such people in a professional and ethical way? The allegations made by “Emma Woods” against David Jacobs brought that debate into focus, as did the criticisms made by filmmaker Carol Rainey regarding her former husband, Budd Hopkins. The recent arrest of self-described abductee Stan Romanek on charges of possessing and distributing child pornography may turn out to be the final nail in the coffin.
Alien abduction may be down, but it isn’t altogether out. Travis Walton remains popular on the conference circuit and hopes to see a remake of “Fire in the Sky”. Researchers such as Yvonne Smith continue to fly the flag for the subject, while this month’s “Contact in the Desert” conference in Joshua Tree has a panel discussion on the “contact experience”. This latter point is particularly noteworthy, because it seems that we’ve gone from contactees to abductees and now back to contactees – the more neutral term “experiencers” is sometimes used, but that’s another story.
In all of this, here’s the key question about the apparent rise and fall of alien abductions: does it tell us something about the true nature of the UFO phenomenon, or does it tell us just as much – and maybe even more – about ufology and ufologists?
Nick Pope is a former employee of the UK Ministry of Defense. From 1991 to 1994 he ran the British Government's UFO project and has recently been involved in a five-year initiative to declassify and release the entire archive of these UFO files. Nick Pope held a number of other fascinating posts in the course of his 21-year government career, which culminated in his serving as an acting Deputy Director in the Directorate of Defense Security. He now works as a broadcaster and journalist, covering subjects including space, fringe science, defense and intelligence. Nick Pope’s latest book, Encounter in Rendlesham Forest, co-written with John Burroughs and Jim Penniston, was published by Thomas Dunne Books on 15th April and is available via Amazon and all good bookstores.
Recent programs on the History Channel and elsewhere on cable television have helped popularize the concept that extraterrestrials have been visiting Earth since time immemorial and have been responsible for many of the advancements of human civilization. Once the mainstay of writers such as Erich von Daniken, Brinsley Le Poer Trench and W.R. Drake, the concept has since inspired big budget movie epics and television shows like “Ancient Aliens” and, more recently, “In Search Of Aliens,” hosted by the “wild-haired” Giorgios Tsoukalos.
Steven Spielberg first burned images of the Ark of the Covenant into our collective imagination when his 1981 mega-hit “Raiders of the Lost Ark” was unleashed upon the public. The movie popularized the mysterious Ark for a more secular audience as Harrison Ford found himself in conflict with Nazi archaeologists who sought to conquer the world by using the supernatural powers of the Ark as a terrorist weapon.
Recently, journalist Timothy Beckley and his always prolific publishing house Inner Light – Global Communications set out to explore the mysteries of the Ark and other super-weapons of antiquity to determine if the “sky gods” were behind the development of these highly advanced implements of destruction – or if humankind
had somehow been able to conjure them up on their own.
Many questions arose, which Beckley and crew attempted to sort out during the course of their dissertation, such as:
When God instructed Moses and the Israelites to construct the Ark of the Covenant, could they have understood the awesome, death-dealing technology it contained?
Did ancient India, like the Old Testament Jews, possess weapons of mass destruction? The new book contends that nuclear weapons or a method of kinetic bombardment were a standard component of the arsenal of people living many thousands of years ago.
Read about weapons that appear on the surface to be rather commonplace, such as a simple sword or bow and arrow, but which are in fact supernaturally transformed by the gods into miraculous instruments of combat.
Does archeological evidence exist today that proves nuclear war took place in ancient times, negating our belief that atomic weapons did not exist until the 20th century? Was space travel another forgotten achievement of a people long ago consumed by the passing millennia? Did they leave spaceports behind as a sign of the technological prowess that helped them reach the stars?
In his introduction to the newly released book from Global Communications, “The Ark of the Covenant and Other Secret Weapons of the Ancients,” editor and author Timothy Green Beckley writes: “The Ark of the Covenant has always been an object of great wonderment. Biblical scholars have debated its uses for years, while the public fantasizes about its powers. Moviemakers have attempted to tell the story of this gleaming gold artifact in epic fictionalized form. Made to be a receptacle in which the Ten Commandments given Moses could be safeguarded, the Ark also had the power to destroy the enemies of the Israelites.”
Beckley goes on to explain that he met researcher and writer David Medina in the 1970s when Beckley was visiting the UK to speak before the House of Lords UFO group. Medina presented Beckley with his privately printed manuscript on the Ark and asked Beckley’s help in giving it wider distribution. Beckley subsequently published Medina’s book and was pleased with thelimited but positive reception it received.
Recently, Beckley decided to publish a new edition, this time with additional chapters written by Beckley’s usual robust stable of writers. The new book focuses not just on the Ark of the Covenant but also examines other high-tech weapons created by what we have been taught are vastly more primitive societies. Thus the “Other Secret Weapons of the Ancients” part of the new book’s title.
THE ARK AND ITS ENIGMATIC CAPABILITIES
The book opens with the reprint of David Medina’s original text. Medina gives an account of the building of the Ark of the Covenant, based on verses from the 25th chapter of the Book of Exodus, as well as describing other elements that went along with it, such as the tent specifically constructed to house the Ark.
It fell to Moses’ brother Aaron, in his role as high priest, to tend to various ceremonies and rituals related to the Ark. Aaron and his sons, who often assisted their father with his priestly duties, were required to wear special clothing while in the Ark’s presence. It has long been speculated, by Medina and numerous other writers before and since, that the special clothing was not a simple matter of priestly ceremonial garb but was instead specifically intended to protect Aaron and his sons from high levels of radiation. Because of that danger, no one else was permitted near the Ark. There are incidents recorded in the Bible in which disobedient Israelites ventured close to the Ark anyway and were subsequently struck dead by the device or died lingering deaths from radiation sickness.
It is also theorized that the Ark could generate high voltage electricity and serve as a two-way radio to the heavens. How did some pieces of acacia wood, some gold overlay and a few other components readily available to the Israelites, who were essentially wandering nomads in the desert, accomplish this technological wonder? That is part of the fascination of Medina’s analysis of the Ark of the Covenant and the details are better left for those reading the Global Communications book to discover for themselves.
THE UFOS OF INDIA AND THEIR DEADLY PAYLOAD
But the formidable Ark was not the only high-tech weapon of the ancient world. As part of Beckley’s aforementioned stable of writers, I contributed a chapter to the new book on the weapons of ancient India. A great deal of the mythology of ancient India is taken up with a form of flying craft called a “vimana,” whose origin is unclear. Some Sanskrit writings say the vimanas were manmade but available to only a rich and elite part of the population. Other writings say the vimanas belonged to the gods and served to house ascended holy ones in luxury dwellings in the sky.
But whatever that mystery may involve, the relevance to the new book lies in the fact that the vimanas were used to deliver and deploy super-weapons similar to our nuclear missiles. In the midst of a conflict between two ancient royal families, called the Kuruhshetra War, a projectile called a “Brahmastra” was launched from a vimana flying overhead. According to the scripture called the “Mahabharata,” the missile, also called the “Iron Thunderbolt,” produced “an incandescent column of smoke and fire, as brilliant as a thousand suns,” and reduced the enemy combatants to ashes. “The corpses were so burned as to be unrecognizable. The hair and nails fell out; pottery broke without cause; and the birds turned white. After a few hours, all foodstuffs were infected.”
All of which is familiar to modern readers as the consequences of the radiation-saturated aftermath of a nuclear blast. As an eerie addendum, 20th century archeologists uncovered evidence that certain cities in the Indus Valley region had been completely destroyed, with people lying dead in the streets. Some kind of “sudden doom” had decimated these cities, killing the entire population and leaving no survivors to bury the dead.
LETHAL FORCE WITHOUT THE MESSY CONSEQUENCES
There is little disagreement among scholars of the subject that some kind of death-dealing technology was available to the ancients that is easily comparable to nuclear weaponry. But author Olav Phillips begs to differ about all that. While he refers to the same passages of the Mahabharata as most scholars do, Phillips argues that the weapons in question may not have been nuclear.
The “Iron Thunderbolt” of the Kuruhshetra War may instead have been an example of “kinetic bombardment,” Phillips contends, or the use of super-dense chunks of material dropped at terminal velocity from orbit or high altitude. Kinetic bombardment would produce the same effects as a small-scale nuclear device minus the radiation. Those effects would include an enormous fireball and a tremendous shockwave that would radiate outwards from the impact site. Phillips believes this explains the decimated cities discovered by archeologists in the Indus Valley.
“The superheated shockwave and concussive force wall,” Phillips writes, “would explain the collapse of structures and the scorching.”
Phillips goes on to say that kinetic weapons are easy to target since their firing angle can be computed from orbit. He says modern weapons developers are working on something called “Project Thor” or the “Rods From God,” a system which hurls telephone pole-sized tungsten rods from orbit for the purpose of targeted, non-nuclear strikes.
Military planners have been working on the idea since the 1950s, and there exists a 2003 US Air Force report suggesting that a tungsten cylinder six meters long impacting at Mach 10 has the equivalent kinetic energy of 11.5 tons of TNT. The idea is to deploy a lethal weapon with mass destructive force that does not have a long lasting global environmental impact. Phillips believes the combatants in the Mahabharata must have reached a similar conclusion, that a large-scale nuclear exchange would permanently destroy the very land they seek to possess, so they too opted for a devastating weapon that would not cause long-term ecological damage.
SWORDS WITH A MAGICAL EDGE
Publisher Timothy Green Beckley takes up the subject of magical swords, swords that were not mere steel attached to a hilt but were instead handed down by the gods to aid mortals in combat. One finds this idea in numerous Greek myths, such as when Perseus was given a sword by the gods to slay the monster Medusa, she who had hair made of snakes and scales invincible to human-made weapons.
Also included is a brief retelling of the legend of King Arthur’s sword “Excalibur” and how it blinded his opponents with its brightness. Meanwhile, the scabbard that stored Excalibur had healing powers and would prevent its bearer from bleeding to death. Excalibur can only be brandished for good purposes or it is useless. It prevents those who wield it from lying and inspires courage in all who follow in its path.
Well-known writers Brad Steiger and Tim R. Swartz provide chapters for “The Ark of the Covenant and Other Secret Weapons of the Ancients” as well. Steiger talks about the archeological evidence found throughout the world for prehistoric nuclear war while Swartz declares that the ancients may have achieved space travel and bolsters that contention with still more archeological evidence.
“The Ark of the Covenant and Other Secret Weapons of the Ancients” is profusely illustrated, thanks mainly to the efforts of writer and graphic designer William Kern, who packs the pages with Biblical art relevant to the story of the Ark as well as paintings depicting the flying craft and weaponry of Indian mythology. The book is an excellent and original approach to the subject of Ancient Astronauts and their technological revelations to early mankind that will have you shaking your head in wonderment even as you shudder at the destructive force we are capable of with a little help from above.

The Ark of the Covenant and Other Secret Weapons of the Ancients
By David Medina, Timothy Green Beckley, Sean Casteel, Olav Phillips, Brad Steiger and Tim R. Swartz
Nasa is a major player in space science, so when a team from the agency this week presents evidence that "impossible" microwave thrusters seem to work, something strange is definitely going on. Either the results are completely wrong, or Nasa has confirmed a major breakthrough in space propulsion.
British scientist Roger Shawyer has been trying to interest people in his EmDrive for some years through his company SPR Ltd. Shawyer claims the EmDrive converts electric power into thrust, without the need for any propellant by bouncing microwaves around in a closed container. He has built a number of demonstration systems, but critics reject his relativity-based theory and insist that, according to the law of conservation of momentum, it cannot work.
According to good scientific practice, an independent third party needed to replicate Shawyer's results. As Wired.co.uk reported, this happened last year when a Chinese team built its own EmDrive and confirmed that it produced 720 mN (about 72 grams) of thrust, enough for a practical satellite thruster. Such a thruster could be powered by solar electricity, eliminating the need for the supply of propellant that occupies up to half the launch mass of many satellites. The Chinese work attracted little attention; it seems that nobody in the West believed in it.
However, a US scientist, Guido Fetta, has built his own propellant-less microwave thruster, and managed to persuade Nasa to test it out. The test results were presented on July 30 at the 50th Joint Propulsion Conference in Cleveland, Ohio. Astonishingly enough, they are positive.
The Nasa team based at the Johnson Space Centre gave its paper the title "Anomalous Thrust Production from an RF [radio frequency] Test Device Measured on a Low-Thrust Torsion Pendulum". The five researchers spent six days setting up test equipment followed by two days of experiments with various configurations. These tests included using a "null drive" similar to the live version but modified so it would not work, and using a device which would produce the same load on the apparatus to establish whether the effect might be produced by some effect unrelated to the actual drive. They also turned the drive around the other way to check whether that had any effect.

‘Onmogelijke’ aandrijving voor ruimteschepen succesvol getest door NASA
De Britse wetenschapper Roger Shawyer probeert mensen al enige jaren warm te maken voor zijn EmDrive, die stuwkracht genereert door microgolven in een afgesloten ruimte op elkaar te laten botsen. Volgens critici kan zijn systeem niet werken omdat het in strijd is met de Wet van behoud van impulsmoment.
Chinese wetenschappers bouwden afgelopen jaar een eigen EmDrive en bevestigden dat het apparaat werkt. Het zou volgens het team kunnen fungeren als aandrijving voor satellieten. Er was weinig aandacht voor de resultaten en het leek alsof niemand in het Westen het kon geloven.
De Amerikaan Guido Fetta wist NASA te overtuigen zijn apparaat te testen. De testresultaten zijn deze week gepresenteerd tijdens een bijeenkomst in Cleveland in de staat Ohio. Volgens NASA werkt het systeem. Een team van het Johnson Space Center deed zes dagen lang experimenten met de microgolf-aandrijving.
In de jaren negentig deed NASA experimenten met een antizwaartekracht-apparaat, dat bestond uit roterende supergeleidende schijven. De resultaten waren positief, tot onderzoekers ontdekten dat het apparaat de meetinstrumenten beïnvloedde. Sindsdien hebben wetenschappers veel geleerd.
De aandrijving lijkt te werken door invloed uit te oefenen op de spookachtige wolk van deeltjes en antideeltjes in de lege ruimte. Het team van NASA wilde niet ingaan op de werking van de zogeheten kwantumvacuüm plasma-aandrijving en deed enkel verslag van de onderzoeksresultaten.
De uitvinder van het apparaat, Guido Fetta, noemt het de ‘Cannae Drive’, naar de Slag bij Cannae waarbij de Carthaagse veldheer Hannibal op 2 augustus 216 voor Christus de Romeinse legioenen een verpletterende nederlaag toebracht. Fetta heeft sceptici jarenlang geprobeerd te overtuigen eens naar zijn systeem te kijken. Dat lijkt nu eindelijk te zijn gelukt.
Met microgolf-aandrijving worden satellieten en ruimtestations een stuk goedkoper en gaan ze veel langer mee. En astronauten zouden in enkele weken in plaats van maanden naar Mars kunnen reizen.
Archaeologists in Mexico have uncovered 25 “alien”-looking human skulls with in a cemetery in the northwest state of Sonora, they said today.
Some of the skulls showed “deformities,” said Cristina Garcia Moreno, who worked on the excavation project with Arizona State University, which analyzed the bones. The bones are about 1,000 years old, dating from 945 A.D. to 1308 A.D.
“This was an Hispanic cemetery with 25 skulls, and 13 of them have deformed heads,” Moreno told ABC News today. “We don’t know why this population specifically deformed their heads."
Moreno said that scientists had found skulls in other parts of Mexico, including Guasave, south of Sonora that also showed similar deformities in certain groups of people. Scientists believe they put beams of wood on the front and back of individuals’ heads and wrapped the wood with bands to exert pressure on the skull, Moreno said.
“We know that in some parts of Mexico, people deformed their heads because they wanted to distinguish important people or they wanted to distinguish people from one group from another,” she said.
Moreno said that skulls like this had never before been found in Sonora, and that many of the skeletons in the cemetery were those of children.

SPECIAL REPORTS
Is ET Colonizing Earth?
Earth is one of the finest planets in this part of the universe. Humans are fighting, killing each other, and destroying our environment. Even so the Earth’s population is increasing at an alarming rate that the available food resources cannot support for long.
Radiation from Fukuishima may destroy the Pacific Ocean as a source of safe food for millions. Many look to an outside source such as President Presidents, God or even Extraterrestrials (ET) to save them. Even now thousands of children are being bused from Central American Nations to cross into US for promises of free food, free medical care, and finances to start businesses and the hopes of a better life. It is logical to assume these benefits may appeal to many throughout the world and even to those on other planets.
Older planets may have stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel and cooling and dying. ET may also have a population explosion or simply a desire to colonize. Our skies are often filled with alien craft from other planets or from other dimensions. These ET apparently have learned that a gradual invasion is the most effective method of colonizing a planet. Even a large space ship could only carry several thousand ETs. There is indication they have infiltrated the seats of power for centuries and have gained influence over the Earth’s population.
Structures on our moon, Mars, and other planets indicate an advanced civilization has apparently colonized much of our galaxy. ET may have discovered it is easier to colonize by slow infiltration rather than a grand invasion. Humans are likely to fight any group they feel are trying to take over Earth. In 3000 BCE the first dynasties appeared in Egypt and the rulers of these dynasties were equated with the gods and with the duties and obligations due those gods. As supreme ruler of the people, the pharaoh was considered a god on earth, the intermediary between the gods and the people.
Many of the great leaders of the past had exceptionally elongated skulls and wore helmets or crowns different from a normal human. Consider history of the Pharaohs, Emperors, and Divine Right of Kings, who ruled with absolute power over the lives of the people. The doctrine is that they derive their right to rule directly from God and are not accountable to their subjects. Most leaders of the past for thousands of years claimed this relation to the gods but often had access to advanced technology.
ET may choose to gradually infiltrate society rather than conducting an open invasion that may scare or enrage the populace. Humans tend to fight any invasion, but seem to accept slow immigration.
Very few people in virtually every country on Earth have any real power. ET may offer key leaders promises of great wealth, long life, and leadership positions once the world is taken over. Leaders could be convinced that ET could help in a smooth transition to a new World Order and a better place. Indeed, ET contacts and abductees have been constantly told the world will be much better with them in control. Serious economic and environmental problems exist on Earth that appears to be arranged, or caused by greed, rather than by accident. As world deteriorates the more likely the populace would accept ET colonialism. People will likely choose to live in a new high tech world that is without war and is much safer for the average person.
There is evidence we are already being colonized. ET has abducted thousands and apparently raised hybrids that are now entering our world. The hybrids are part alien and part human, but do not seem very much different than any immigrant we see shopping. We hope they are an asset to Earth, but the may be detrimental. This subversive infiltration will likely prevent open warfare against their take over. They may come to mine for minerals, feed their people and develop place greater importance in exploration, mining and learning. Comparatively small numbers of ETs would not like to engage in an extended conflict with Earth’s battle tested humans.
We may be useful for raising crops and building structures.Edgar Mitchell indicated the Dead Sea Scrolls explain want is happening. I suggested the Scroll of the War between the Sons of Light and the Sons of Darkness explain what has been happening for thousands of years. Edgar Mitchell Quote [at 15:00 mark] "some of the strongest evidence is that our missile silos ... were routinely visited by alien spacecraft and the missiles disarmed." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dRClHxyGVY.
The Shrine of the Book, a wing of the Israel Museum in shape of a UFO houses the Dead Sea Scrolls. The scroll reveals that in the end times all of Darkness is to be destroyed and Light will live in peace for all eternity.
It seems possible that some ETs are selfish colonists or have evil intent and dwell on the dark side. These evil ones appear to have capabilities far beyond our understanding or technology. Thus far they have not chosen to destroy us, but there are indications they find particularly human females attractive and are trying to create half human and half ET hybrids.
Dr. Lier removed rice sized implants from a dozen people indicating tracking and communicating devices have been inserted into some humans by ET. Crematoriums have noticed small rice sized remains among the ashes of the deceased. The nanotechnology devices may also control people to vote or accomplish tasks helpful to ET. Abductees often claim ET is worried about the environment. The implants have Carbon nanotubes within that have outstanding properties for electrical and thermal conductivity and nanoelectronic components with high strength and acceptance by the body.
The Light side appears concerned and genuinely tries to help humans. For example they may bring advanced technology with great benefits to humans. And some ETs may have Earth’s human interests in mind, with love and compassion. It may be one heck of a complicated game going on since humanity began.
Perhaps the Bible is right when it states, “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away.” Revelation 21:4 (KJ21)
Wright-Patterson UFO Stories are True
Dayton -- Roger Marsh reports onJuly 24, 2014, Tales of crashed UFO parts and alien bodies have been told about Wright-Patterson Air Force Base since the 1947.
The witness was told in 1960 that the stories of crashed UFO parts from Roswell were true. Air Force National Museum Wilbur Wright Field Wikimedia
The report was filed by the grandchild of the woman who received the information firsthand in about 1960. “A close high ranking friend retired from Wright Patterson Air Force Base,” stated. “. My grandmother, who was the wittiest, honest and candid person I’ve ever met, asked him if it were true about the alien craft and possibly the alien bodies being stored at the base.” “He said, ‘If the public knew what was at the base from the Roswell incident, there would be a general panic amongst the public.’” Thanks to MUFON CMSF
Fukushima Radioactive Ocean Water is now arriving on the West Coast
I was on the Jeff Rense Radio Program last night who told me, “Radioactive materials detected off California, levels spike to 400% normal — Fisherman have discovered an ‘island’ of tsunami debris- Never seen so much garbage in ocean before/ Fukushima nuclear pollutants in the North Pacific are moving eastward and are carried by the Kuroshio and Kuroshio-extension currents and now have reached the California Coast.
The radiation plume from Fukushima is now smashing the entire Sea life for decades to come. This is hard science and every rain coming out of the North Pacific is carrying varying amounts of radiation in the rainwater. This calamity is unprecedented. Thanks to Jeff Rense. http://www.rense.com
Holland Three Crop Circles
Nancy Talbot writes, “On Saturday night, July 12th, Robbert and I were on Skype and Robbert said he felt that three formations were coming all in one night in different villages—one in corn (maize) and two in “grain.” He told me he “saw” (in his mind’s eye) that one would come in Roosendaal, one in Etten Leur and the other near Zevenbergen in the next few days, and he also “saw” that when their locations were plotted on a Google map they would make a “perfect” triangle”.
Around midnight on July 15-16, Roy happened to be with Robbert when Robbert's familiar “restlessness” forced him to ask his friend to once again drive him out to find what he was certain would be the three new formations. As they prepared to leave the house Robbert had a clear “vision” of a circle in a corn (maize) field near Etten Leur, and got the street name of “Ettense baan.” As they neared this area Robbert suddenly knew they musts turn left onto a narrow sandy road; when they turned both men started to feel very dizzy and Roy noticed that his mobile phone began acting “weird.” Robbert felt a “UFO was directly over Roy’s car,” almost immediately after which they found a maize field.
As they parked the car Robbert became aware of a “massive” presence of what he felt was a “master-society race” and got the impression that these were the “Yahyels” (an “intergalactic” group of beings he has felt were involved with previous circles in his area)—and felt an additional presence he describes as being “loving and divine guardian angels.” As the men began walking through the 2.5m-tall corn they both became so dizzy they thought they might lose consciousness.
Because the maize circle was deep inside the field and the stalks were high above both men’s heads Robbert says he was guided as if he “were a robot…go here…turn here…stop here,” and they did eventually find the new circle, with all of the corn stalks gently bent over and swirled around, with none broken.
Since he had never been to this field before he began to feel real anxiety as he and Roy stood for awhile on the edge of the circle—fearing that the farmer might come and be angry with them. Robbert also experienced an “electric-like energy” so intensely that his whole body began to shake—and “knew” he was being “once again told” to stay calm…that everything was OK. While still in the maize field Robbert got another “vision” and knew they had to now drive to Roosendaal. For more photos of this Etten Leur circle (#12 Dutch circles of 2014), see Robbert’s website, “graancirkelarchief”: http://www.robbertvandenbroeke.nl/graancirkelarchief
Here’s the 2nd Dutch cc the night of July 16th: Nancy Talbott
The 2nd of the three new formations discovered the night of July 16th was in Roosendaal, not too far from where Roy & Robbert found the one in Rapeseed/Canola on March l7th, 2014.
As the men were leaving the maize circle at Etten-Leur Robbert again had a “vision” (he apparently literally sees, in his mind’s eye, not only what the new circle will look like, but the area—and often the exact field—where it will be), this time of a ring with 3 circles placed around it.
Once in the right area the men found a field of ripe barley and almost immediately found this 2nd formation, which indeed was made up of a ring with three circles placed around it—just as Robbert had “seen” in Etten Leur. Robbert also clearly saw an “aura” hanging over this circle as they approached it and felt a “welcome” sort of energy and an intense tingling on his arms, as if he had entered an electrostatic field of some sort, and got the impression that this formation was a “preparation” for something bigger.
He also “saw” an area near Roosendaal where there was a “rotating energy” over this grain field. He told Roy he felt that this circle had just formed only minutes before. As they approached this formation both men became very dizzy again; his phone was also again acting strangely, When they then came to a grain field Robbert saw an “energy UFO” in this case one of a “classic” UFO shape sitting directly over this field, and then told Roy to stop. This circle has an incredible feature—the very thin inner ring is only 10 cm. wide--so thin that no adult human foot could possibly have created it.
They could both feel the intense energy which Robbert described as being both “strong” and “gentle,” and he felt he must go and stand in the center (being very careful not to squash the center standing tuft) for a few minutes. His sense was that he was supposed to function as an “acupuncture point” in this circle also. When they returned home just before 3 am Roy did plot the location of the three new formations on a Google map, and it does look as if the connecting lines form an isosceles triangle….just as Robbert had “seen” they would.
St-Zenon, Quebec – Albert Rosales writes, “Two people reported seeing a reddish disc shaped object above their garage On January 14, 2014, at 5:30 PM. They were standing in their backyard ten days later and one witness encountered a strange humanoid creature in his garage. Incredibly the tall figure pushed the control button to the garage door and ran into the nearby wooded area taking long running strides and apparently floated above the snow.” The humanoid appeared to be wearing some kind of a mask and tight fitting clothes. Several other anomalies have been reported.

Sightings in the United States
Alabama Disc
Albertville -- I was at a friend’s house when she noticed a light in the sky on July 27, 2014. When I looked at the light it was bigger than a star and was emanating white, red, amber, and green lights. The white, green, and red lights were bright and the Amber light was dim. At first, I thought it was a helicopter hovering and using a spot light but did not hear anything. I have worked on helicopters and know the sounds they make and from the distance the object was I should have heard the engines and blades. After realizing it wasn't a helicopter I started to record the object. I recorded the object for 4 minutes 31 seconds. I was distracted by my friend and when I looked back it was gone. Thanks to MUFON CMS
California Wings
Discovery Bay – Two objects appeared in a picture I was taking of a blue star on June 24, 2014. While reviewing the picture I noticed these two objects. I cropped the picture in order to get a better look. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Colorado Flying Object
Gunnison – I was bow hunting at 1,800 feet elevation in very remote country with an approaching storm and lightning when I noticed the object on September 1, 2013. This strange object hovered and changed directions while emanating some kind of plume under it. Through binoculars it appeared to be a disc shape, and tried to stay in the cloud formation. The object was very large in size and hovered within and around the cloud formation. After a few minutes it left a plume trail and caused the cloud area it passed through to have a trailing effect. It was over a mile away and was a very weird and strange UFO, but I will never know. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Connecticut Lights
New Haven -- I was outside talking with a friend when we noticed two small pulsating orbs with organic characteristics in the sky on July 26, 2014. Upon further inspection, these two were followed by a grouping of three more orbs, then four more, with an estimated 4-8 more of varying groupings following behind the original 'convoy'. The silent orbs were flying over a regional airport from the Long Island Sound, flying northeast, then finally up out of the atmosphere. They showed an organic quality much like a distant flame. The shapes were spherical having a very organic flame-like nature. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Light
Jacksonville – I saw three small star-like moving lights in the sky and observed them from my kitchen window from about 5:45 to 6:15 am. I went outside expecting to see a bright ufo object, because I have seen it before. The unusual thing is that I played a game with the ufo. I positioned my line of sight so that a tree was near. I stared at the Ufo for about 10 seconds and then I blocked my view ufo with the tree. The ufo moved into my field of vision, and then moved up, left and right. It is crazy to think that the ufo was observing me but that is my only conclusion. I call this game "peek a boo" and I have played it hundreds of times with various moving light sources. The most interesting light is the bright light that follows me from 11 pm to 2 am. Skip Thanks to MUFON CMS
Idaho Ripper
Filer – I was up early sitting on my porch on July 27,2014, when an amazingly fast satellite moved south across the Pleiades at 4:50 AM with low brightness. The sun was just below the Eastern Horizon and the dull surface filtered out most of the reflections. The orbit was lower than most and the speed far greater than the original plodding space shots. I dubbed this one "Jack the Ripper." Could this be a special droppable hardware package info gathering space shot? It could be taking pictures across the world? Thanks to MUFON CMS
Maine Disc
Limestone – I was a student at Loring Job Corps Center during the event I eye-witnessed in July 17, 1998. I vividly remember it was about 9:30 PM, when I saw three objects with blinking lights hovering on top of the pine trees. Two of the three objects ascended and disappeared, while one approached and descended lower hovering no more than 10 feet over me. I felt scared and confused because I have never seen a UFO this close. It was shaped like an oval silent black craft with multicolored lights around and underneath the craft. There was a colored sphere underneath its center. I was just amazed that this kind of technology exists. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Minnesota Donut
ST. Paul-- I was looking up into the sky, and saw what at first I thought was a plane. I went inside and grabbed my Nikon D3100 with a 55-200 MM zoom lens to get a better look. It was silent moving at cruising speed and high up with decent size. It was moving fast in a straight line and was not a drifting like a balloon. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Jersey Disc
Union -- On July 18, 2014, in morning I climbed to top of a 6th floor building under construction in my area to capture photos. When I zoomed to check the camera quality, I noticed an object in the picture was very high. I was prepping for a golf tournament (NJ, USA), so I recorded my swing. I saw something zip by. Then, I slowed and zoomed the images only to discover that the UFO was heading south to north at supersonic speed and then made a 45* turn heading east. I am a firm believer in ET Intelligence and as soon as I saw the footage I knew exactly what it was. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Mexico ‘V’ Formation
Las Cruces -- On Saturday night my husband, nephew and I were on our deck stargazing when my husband noticed a flurry of dim objects that turned into a V formation. They were moving beyond the parameters of any known human aerial craft. We also spotted a very large, dimly lit formation flying very high and very fast without any sound. The V formation flew towards El Paso. It only took a few seconds for it to fly over our heads. My husband is the only witness to the flurry of the objects before they formed up into for an 8-12 light V, but we all clearly witnessed the flying V. The lights were faint but visible, if I had to guess how many made up the V I would say between total. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Lights
Houston-- I was star gazing and noticed this strange ufo asit hovered with a mostly blinking white/blue light on July 26, 2014. There were a total of three, and two sped off very quickly. I then noticed two red/orange dots leave the one that hovered. The two orange ufos flew erratically away. I watched the primary ufo ascend out of atmosphere, in a straight path and with a slight white trail. As it left atmosphere it turned blue. I also witnessed exact same thing following night. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Australia Saucer and Lights
Lake Haven, New South Wales -- When driving north on Pacific Highway just past Lake Haven roundabout at 12:20 PM, we saw a shiny silver upside down saucer hovering in the skyonJuly 6th 2014. I was analyzing that it had no flashing lights, not a kite nor an Aeroplane, or weather balloon. We kept an eye on it for about ten minutes until we had to move on.
Castle Hill, New South Wales -- I was laying in my bed looking out my window at 2:35 am, on July 7th 2014, when I saw a round bright object in the sky. It flared up to an extremely bright light and in a single second it disappeared. The light hurt my eyes as it felt like looking into the sun except a lot brighter.
Brogo, New South Wales -- I was standing on the back lawn in our rural property when I suddenly noticed in the western sky a bright comet like object moving from south to northon July 10th 2014 at 9:41 AM. I called out and three other people rushed out and saw the intense fireball with a bright long tail almost like a massive skyrocket. It was visible for at least 12 seconds before disappearing to the north. The tail was as long as your fist. It had amazing brightness and intense colours as it slowly traveled through the sky.
Deniliquin, New South Wales – On July 10th 2014, at 9:50 PM, it could be space debris entering the atmosphere, but I have never seen such a vivid colorful entry before. The tail was long, constantly changing colours around the main body if the object. It was very slow moving and my neighbor’s house limited my view after about a minute and a half. It was truly beautiful but eerie.
Meandarra, Queensland -- Six witnesses report a slight red burning flame that ended up stretching 2 km in the sky on July 10th 2014, at 9:30 PM.
Narara, New South Wales-- Driving home Dad in car said, “What's that thing?” We kept looking at the light thinking it may have been the moon, but noticed object was moving and very low to groundonJuly 10th 2014, at 9:35 PM. It was like a helicopter with its spot lights on, but much bigger and brighter and then it suddenly disappeared. Thanks to John Hayes www.UFOinfo.com
Brazil Light
Abadiania – GO-- This picture was taken at the rear of the Hotel San Raphael and we were outside having a general discussion about the day’s events. As a semi-retired member of the national media, I always carry a camera. I noticed something up in the sky, shot the UFO and then it quickly disappeared. This picture is one of many UFO pictures that were taken in the two weeks while in Abadiania, Brazil. The other pictures I have are flying saucers. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Canada Sightings
Regina Saskatchewan -- I was working outside and noticed a red-copper object in noon sky on November 20, 2013. I focused on the object that had lights and a surface that reflected light off as metal does. It was also black at times and hovered for a while and then flew slowly away. It was directly over the airport where nothing can fly without clearance. My company is building condos beside our cities airport and it is closed airspace. "Why would it be and who allowed it to fly directly over the airport with a chance of an accident?” It took about three hours to fly over my head and saw it looked like a metal upside down bell. It had a constant bright light on it and I snapped 7 clear pictures, but the object would not show up on the video. Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org Note: Object had an 8 or infinity sign on its side.
Echo Lake, Saskatchewan -- On July 5th 2014 at11:30 AM, while camping at Lakeview Campground, four of us saw a dull orange ball moving east quite fast over Pasqua Lake then Echo Lake. It was 500 feet above our location atop the hill overlooking the lake. The light flew straight and did not change speed. It took about 40 seconds before it disappeared. It was silent and the size of a basketball about 100 feet away. Thanks to John Hayes www.UFOinfo.com
Scarborough, Ontario -- On July 4th 2014, I took a break at work and went outside with my new camera in hand. I got a bite very high in the sky. I could see a white object moving very slowly and tried to photograph on zoom but had difficulty capturing it. The camera would not focus on the target so. So at 3:07 PM, I began to photograph with a slight zoom to capture the image. I alerted a co worker who could also see it! The eleventh co worker I’ve pointed these objects out to. As I photographed the object went into cloud cover. Thanks to Paul Shishis, Photos at www.ufoinfo.com/sightings/canada/140704b.shtmlBurlington, Ontario – Four witnesses saw four orange circle shaped objects with a balloon shaped dome above travelling at a great rate of speed to the southeast on July 5th 2014at11:45 AM. The silent objects flew at about 15,000 feet high, followed by another identical object 20 minutes later.
Hornepayne, Ontario -- My brother and my grandson and I went out fishing and were taking photos and did not see anything. It was not till we flew back to my brother’s camp on July 23, 2014, and uploaded the pictures from my camera that I noticed the object in the photo. It is the only picture that I have and maybe it can be explained. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Chile Ball
Calama II Region -- Observation area moves from south to north on Calama to Chuquicamata trajectory with constant speed. It was like a tennis ball, white and red phenomenon observed at 22:00 hours duration of phenomenon ten minutes, without noise. Three persons observed by passes near an aircraft. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Germany Lights
My girlfriend and I were exiting the autobahn around 12 am, when we noticed a sequence of flashing lights. They were bright blue, white, and orange lights off in the distance on the ground and one in the sky as if they were communicating. As we drove closer we noticed in front of our eyes a UFO hovering in one spot not touching the ground, but just right on top of it. When we saw this thing up close we speeded off so not all the pictures are great. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Greece Disc
Island of Poros -- A UFO was photographed by UFO researcher Harris Koutsiaftis on the southwest side of the city on July 22, 2014, at 8:45 PM. Two objects were flying at high altitude shining probably from the reflection of the sun. They were visible for 35 seconds with the unknown object moving parallel to the plane. It began to overtake the plane and fly in front of it until both were lost in the skyline. Dozens of people observed them and Harris said, “There is no known conventional military aircraft that flies with such speed and reflects sunlight! So we discussed an alien flying saucer, or a secret human aircraft. The photo will be in the next issues of "ET" and "Phenomena" Greek UFO magazines. Thanks to MUFON CMS
India Orbs
Delhi-- This is amazing that according to the direction of the pilot I switched off my mobile on June 17, 2013. Suddenly something happened to me and I felt I had to take a video. So I switched on the mobile and I started to record out the aircraft window and suddenly saw these lights. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Hyderabad -- I was in the train, which stopped at the Railway Station and took pictures of the Falaknuma Palace on the hill from the train window in a span of 5 seconds using my Samsung Mobile Phone. I did not notice the UFO in the pictures for a month. I observed a UFO the first picture taken at 6:09 pm, but it was gone 5 seconds later. I feel no airplane can move so fast to disappear in 5 seconds. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Donegal -- Patrick Mannering wrote: “I and one other friend drove from Glenties to Letterkenny and wewere heading to our friend’s house for some pre-drinks and banter on 27 Jul 2014, at 11:10 PM. The lane to my friend’s house is steep climb so we had a good view of the sky over Letterkenny as we neared the top. My friend said, “What’s that green light?” I spotted a glinting green light hovering, and then the light travelled faster than anything I have seen across the sky towards the hills. It stopped still again and then took a sharper downward angle behind the hills. Then it was gone. We were gobsmacked. I had stopped the car on a steep angle of the hill without realizing it, that’s how much it captured my attention. It is the smoothest, slickest, fastest looking thing I have ever seen. It took less than a few seconds to cross the whole sky. It was the size of the North Star and a bright electric green. This is one if the strangest things of my life.

Lamas - San Martin -- This sighting occurred on Friday, July 25, 2014 in the town of Lamas - San Martin, 22 km (30 minutes) from the city of Tarapoto. We were walking with my mother, daughter, and her friend. The friend of my daughter was the one who took the photos from the camera phone of his mother around noon, taking several photos, including capturing images attached to this report. The next day when they went to check out the photos that were taken during the ride got this surprise. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Switzerland - MUFON Takes another Look at Meier's UFOs
In 1980, Billy Meier, the Swiss UFO contactee, took 63, clear 35mm film photographs and a five-minute video of an object dubbed the Wedding Cake UFO, or WCUFO. Skeptics immediately pounced on the photos claiming they showed a model made from a garbage can lid and Christmas tree ornaments. With MUFON, lacking the technology to determine the authenticity of his UFO photos, and Meier himself not saying anything, the matter was perceived as a hoax. Fast forward to today where independent researcher Professor Rhal Zahi revives the Meier cold case by taking a took a close look at the "DNA" in the WCUFO photos using PhotoShop, professional 3-D computer modeling software and actual scale models. His 74-page report, including his reproducible protocols, conclusively authenticates the photos as large, unknown objects and rules out small models or special effects. Prof. Zahi then discovered never before seen details in a nighttime WCUFO photo that have been hidden - for 34 years - revealing that the craft is hovering over a gravel road and that Meier somehow actually took the photo from... above the object.
Armed with Prof. Zahi's authentication of the WCUFO, American representative, Michael Horn, contacted Jan Harzan, the Executive Director of MUFON, who has known about the Meier case for 25 years and struggled with it being simply "too good." Harzan and Horn formed a precedent setting alliance and for the first time in 34 years, MUFON opened the Meier case to its 3,000 members worldwide. According to Horn, "Prof. Zahi's work vindicates Meier of charges that he hoaxed his evidence. It also makes the SETI program unnecessary because it conclusively shows that the UFOs photographed and filmed by Billy Meier are extraterrestrial in origin. With Meier's well-documented contacts with the Plejaren extraterrestrials still ongoing for over 72 years - and so rich in scientific information- the implications are truly staggering. "Now along with NASA aerospace engineers recognizing its significance, modern technology makes it easy to prove the most important discovery in all of science and human history for themselves. We are not alone, we've been contacted." Meier’s UFO pictures were shown at the MUFON Conference. Thanks to Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org
Spain Circular Object
Malaga, Andalusia -- A thick nearly circular object A thick nearly circular metallic slate grey object with a indented line splitting the top dome half from the bottom halfon July 6th 2014, at 10:30 PM. The bottom half had a round opening that exposed a deep yellow light source. The object stayed in place in the distance near the adjacent buildings from where I was standing on a balcony at Apartment Merced's Penthouse overlooking Plaza de la Merced after which it flew sideways. At this point buildings obstructed it from my view. I am the only witness due to the shortness of its visibility and the general business of the plaza. I watched the skies for two more hours but did not see it or any other suspicious shapes for the remainder of my visit to the city.
United Kingdom/England Sightings
Blackpool --The event started as I was sipping coffee in my garden on July 6, 2014, when I received a message from my friend saying, "I’ am almost at yours now, and just seen those strange orbs again". I looked up to see a small circular object coming from the northeast moving south at a steady speed. I attempted to video this object a couple of times however it would not appear on the screen so I decided to take some pictures instead. I managed to snap a few pictures as it passed. Six minutes later the second larger orb came into view travelling the same flight path. I ran inside and grabbed a monocular to watch an object that lacked a rigid outline and was fuzzy as I captured 30 seconds of footage. The craft passed by at 6:25 PM. A third craft flew by on the same flight path that was flatter and more streamlined. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Plymouth -- Last night about 11.30 PM, on July 17, 2014, I saw three fast moving flying objects, they were glowing orange and shaped like a wide triangle. I realized they were too big and changing direction too fast to be birds. They moved around the sky about my house for about 10-15 seconds then as they were getting further away they just disappeared. Thanks to John Hayes www.UFOinfo.com
Norwich-- As my son and I were walking our dog by the River Yare near Bland Road with fighter jets roaring above our heads at great height on 2:20 PM on May 23, 2014. They looked very small and they were not playing war games, but chasing a UFO radar contact for I knew from previous experiences how to tell the difference. We watched a fighter plane go into a great fluffy white cloud that was unlike the other clouds. I said to my son to, “Watch for a UFO to come out of the other end of it.” There was a short gap between clouds and as we watched, a huge craft materialized within the gap. It waslong like a cigar and light metallic green with two bars or rails running along ether side underneath that shone a brighter metallic green. After around ten seconds it dematerialized and a jet fighter came out of the cloud, which was tiny like a fly in comparison to the UFO. We could hear the jets searching for the craft. I got the impression that the UFO was kind of playing games with them. I have watched UFOs three times in my life. NOTE: The above the image of a craft was taken in RI in July 1967.

Venezuela Lights
San Cristobala – We saw a fire ball suspended in the first view appear and disappear, to the west of the Tachira State viewed from a zone called Zumbador in the Andean Mountains. It flew over the sea for three minutes on a clear night without moon light. We recorded a HD video with a Samsung S4 cell phone. It was viewed a second time when the UFO appeared in the north part of the state for four minutes. It was bright with changes of color and size and then disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Video footage captured from the live camera stream of the International Space Station (ISS) shows what appears to be a giant cigar shaped UFO hovering nearby. The live footage was captured on July 9th, 2014.
It appears for approximately four minutes before fading away. The footage was taken by one of the ISS external cameras that are normally directed earthwards. The non-stationary nature of the UFO and the way it slowly moves has led some to conclude it is not a lens flare or similar lighting aberration.
This is not the first time that the ISS live camera feed has captured what appears to be a large UFO in the vicinity. The UFO appears to be very similar to the May 13, 2014 sighting from the same camera. The only difference is that the reported half a dozen orange lights are not flashing in a random manner. Back on January 29, NASA live streamingshowed what appeared to be a sleek elliptical UFO docked with the hull of the International Space Station. The object was between the Russian research module and the Soyuz escape capsule. Its size was approximately 10 meters. Some claimed that the UFO was related to an ISS ceremony featuring the Olympic flag. Yet the ISS ceremony was held in November 2013, and the flag was only about a meter in size, far smaller than the estimated 10 meter UFO.
People have seen all kinds of things in the NASA photos of Mars. Aliens, spaceships, even bigfoot! Now people believe they may have caught an image of some sort of flying insect. Check it out:
A mysterious photograph released by NASA has a plethora of internet users wondering whether this is proof of some sort of biological life form present on the surface of Mars.
The picture, taken by Curiosity’s camera in Sol 644 section, shows a dark object resembling an insect right on the upper left corner of the image.
The anomaly was first discovered by YouTube user Streetcap1 last week and has subsequently been a heated source of debate among the members of various UFO communities.
While Streetcap1 was simply the one to point out the strangeness of the object on the camera lens, other researchers have plenty of things to say about it.
Scott C. Waring, a ESL school teacher in Taiwan, has been keeping track of these type of abnormalities like these on his daily blog since he created it in 2012.
“We post daily UFO sightings with photos or videos and search for Alien structures in NASA photos,” he explains on his Facebook page. “I looked for other images of the mountain area, but none were of this exact location,” he says. “The black UFO was not in any other photos.”
He goes on to say that the dark spot could be a drone but that it could be an insect, such as a cicada.
“This black object looks like its flying and not sitting on the mountain,” he says. “Don’t expect NASA to talk about it, they never do,” he adds.
Some YouTube users, like Ivor Problem, have a different explanation.
“That’s a dot added by the camera/software. They are always on the mars photos (depends on camera used). I think they use it /them as a marker. Panoramic shots tend to have a few of them,” he writes on the comment’s section of the original video.
Others debate whether it could be an insect on the actual camera lens or even a simple speck of dust sitting on it.
The controversy comes two weeks after NASA’s release of a 330-page long document written by a group of scientists and scholars and edited by Douglas A. Vakoch, suggesting that certain art paintings and carvings on rock formations found on Earth could be the work of ancient alien visitations.
This is not the first time that UFO enthusiasts discover similar oddities on the Red Planet. A man in March claimed that a structure appearing on another picture taken by NASA was a religious symbol.
The agency hasn’t made an official statement about the picture.
U. S. Air Force YB-49 taking off to atom bomb the invading Martians
“It is reported that at 8:50pm a huge, flaming object, believed to be a meteorite, fell on a farm in the neighbourhood of Grovers Mill, New Jersey, twenty-two miles from Trenton.”
Fortunately a reporter was within reach and described what was happening:
“Good heavens, something’s wriggling out of the shadow like a grey snake. Now it’s another one, and another. They look like tentacles to me. There, I can see the thing’s body. It’s large, large as a bear and it glistens like wet leather. But that face, it … Ladies and gentlemen, it’s indescribable. I can hardly force myself to keep looking at it. The eyes are black and gleam like a serpent. The mouth is V-shaped with saliva dripping from its rimless lips that seem to quiver and pulsate. The monster or whatever it is can hardly move. It seems weighed down by … possibly gravity or something. The thing’s raising up. The crowd falls back now. They’ve seen plenty. This is the most extraordinary experience. I can’t find words … I’ll pull this microphone with me as I talk. I’ll have to stop the description until I can take a new position. Hold on, will you please, I’ll be right back in a minute..”
The USA Secretary of the Interior rushed to make an announcement:
“Citizens of the nation: I shall not try to conceal the gravity of the situation that confronts the country, nor the concern of your government in protecting the lives and property of its people. However, I wish to impress upon you — private citizens and public officials, all of you — the urgent need of calm and resourceful action. Fortunately, this formidable enemy is still confined to a comparatively small area, and we may place our faith in the military forces to keep them there. In the meantime placing our faith in God we must continue the performance of our duties each and every one of us, so that we may confront this destructive adversary with a nation united, courageous, and consecrated to the preservation of human supremacy on this earth. I thank you.”
This all happened on Sunday, October 30, 1938 and, as you will no doubt know, was only a War Of The Worlds radio drama but it supposedly sent people into panic thinking it was for real.
Thousands of people, believing they were under attack by Martians, flooded newspaper offices and radio and police stations with calls, asking how to flee their city or how they should protect themselves from gas raids. Scores of adults reportedly required medical treatment for shock and hysteria.
Now there is a coincidence attached to all of this!
The War Of The Worlds author HG Wells stopped his car to ask directions in San Antonio, Texas and amazingly the man he asked turned out to be Orson Welles – the man who had petrified a sizeable chunk of the population with his radio broadcast of Wells’s alien invasion story.
The full script of Welles 1938 broadcast can be seen here.
Over the past 5 decades, various individuals, including pilots, astronauts, and government officials have come forward with evidence of UFOs, extraterrestrials, and government involvement in the covering up of knowledge about such subjects.
Some skeptics claim, however, that there is no physical evidence of UFOs and that the eyewitness accounts come from unreliable sources, which are either seeking fame or are out of their minds.
The truth for the skeptic is that at one time UFO accounts were unique and that maybe 30 years ago a wild UFO tale would sell a few pages in FATE magazine or become the latest best seller turning into a major box office motion picture.
However, today the times have changed and the stories are no longer all that special.
Now, that does not mean the stories are not valuable and when they are told by people in society we look up to we pay close attention to what is being said.
I have been particularly curious as to why the older astronauts have now been coming forward on television specials and spinning tales of UFO sightings in space when decades ago none of them would speak. I guess with time comes the ability to either declassify or otherwise speak candidly about so many UFO experiences because in their elder years there is really no need to worry about some type of retribution.
For obvious reasons astronaut encounters with UFO’s fall into the very highest category of sightings. What makes their testimony more valuable than most is the fact that astronauts usually see themselves as objective technical and scientific observers. This is why astronauts have not always been willing to become involved in the debate about UFO’s and the possibility of extraterrestrial visitors.
The SyFy Channel has produced a Television show called “Aliens on The Moon” which has given them the opportunity to corner various astronauts and have them spill the beans on their UFO experiences.
Once such Astronaut is Buzz Aldrin the second man to walk on the moon, who not only appeared on the SyFy Channel special but actually did several news appearances on the networks telling his story of a UFO that followed the Apollo 11 Space craft.
Now for those who are into UFO news and keep abreast of all things UFO both historical and what takes place today, you will note that Aldrin’s weird UFO Tales were first being revealed in 2005 when he spoke of his UFO encounters on the Science Channel. So for those who think that Aldrin telling his UFO stories before the SyFy channel airs Sharknado lacks credibility, then perhaps you should go back to 2005 and also check out all of the television networks where he made statements about UFO’s, alien life and a Monolith on the moon of Mars.
Aldrin also appeared in Reddit to answer questions about UFO’s and gave some hints about possible fossils and abandoned structures left behind on the moon. He of course avoids coming right out and saying that aliens have left behind these structures, however reading between the lines we can safely say that space cowboys have had their run ins with alien folk in the UFO rodeo.
Here is the official quote form Aldrin on the sensitive matter of a UFO following the Apollo 11 crew:
“On Apollo 11 in route to the moon, I observed a light out the window that appeared to be moving alongside us. There were many explanations of what that could be, other than another spacecraft from another country or another world—it was either the rocket we had separated from, or the 4 panels that moved away when we extracted the lander from the rocket and we were nose to nose with the two spacecraft. So in the close vicinity, moving away, were 4 panels. And I feel absolutely convinced that we were looking at the sun reflected off of one of these panels. Which one? I don’t know. So technically, the definition could be ‘unidentified.’ “We well understood exactly what that was. And when we returned, we debriefed and explained exactly what we had observed. And I felt that this had been distributed to the outside world, the outside audience, and apparently it wasn’t, and so many years later, I had the time in an interview to disclose these observations, on another country’s television network. And the UFO people in the United States were very very angry with me, that I had not given them the information. “It was not an alien. Extraordinary observations require extraordinary evidence. That’s what Carl Sagan said. There may be aliens in our Milky Way galaxy, and there are billions of other galaxies. The probability is almost CERTAIN that there is life somewhere in space. But the distances involved in where some evidence of life may be, they may be hundreds of light years away.”
—Buzz Aldrin speaks about the Apollo 11 UFO
The sixth man to walk on the moon Dr, Edgar Mitchell has also been very vocal about UFO’s as well. Now keep in mind that unlike Buzz Aldrin, Mitchell claims to have not seen or has come in contact with a UFO or aliens. Mitchell does say however that there is most definitely a U.S. cover-up and policy of denial as an “embargo of truth.” Mitchell has spoken out about the existence of aliens, alien visitations, and reverse engineering of alien technology by the U.S. government.
There is a recording of Mitchell speaking during an Apollo 14 transmission saying something about having visitors on the moon. While discussing the preparations for the Lunar Rover you can clearly hear him say “looks like we have had visitors again, hardly worth mentioning.”
Mitchell was apparently briefed on the UFO phenomenon during his years within military and intelligence circles. He described most UFOs as being “homegrown,” or reverse-engineered crafts based on original alien technology but not nearly as advanced as the originals.
Astronaut Gordon Cooper, one of seven in the United State’s first manned space program Project Mercury, has also been very outspoken about UFOs and ETs. Cooper claims that he had a close encounter on a dry lakebed during the filming of a precision landing facility.
A UFO saucer flew overhead, extended landing gear legs, and landed on the dry lakebed near the facility’s construction. As the camera crew picked up their gear and began to move toward the saucer, it flew away at a high speed. Cooper sent the developed film to certain authorities in Washington, D.C. After he reported the incident, the film was never seen again.
On March 13th, 1989, Donald Ratsch (an American member of a radio club that monitors all of NASA’s space travel transmissions) was recording communications from the shuttle Discovery STS-29.
He picked the right time to record, because he got this astronaut transmission: “Houston this is Discovery, we still have the Alien spacecraft under observance.” The voice belonged to Colonel John E. Blaha. When the tape was made public NASA claimed ignorance, simply saying that no such incident had occurred. Then when more people were made aware of the transmission NASA said it was Blaha’s way of making a joke.
Then it was examined even further that the quote was not what was earlier reported. The message was actually quite muddled and upon another examination Blaha had stated that the alien spacecraft was not “under observance” but that it was on VFR.
Which means in pilot’s terms, that the object was clear and visible without cloud cover or any other obstacles. Needless to say when people heard the transmission they did not hear anything that sounded humorous about the so called alien spacecraft on VFR or under observance.
There have been several other instances of Shuttles and other space craft that have come in contact with what appear to be extraterrestrial craft. The Apollo 12 astronauts were startled when a UFO continued to stalk them as they were doing their work. Mission control tried without success to explain away what the UFO might be but the astronauts sounded helpless to ascertain just exactly what was happening out in space.
Back then there was always that candid comment from the astronauts that went uncensored. Now however, it seems that NASA has an uncanny ability to shut down any and all conversations about any anomalous objects that may be picked up on their live feed.
On January 29, 2014 the live camera feed of the International Space Station (ISS) showed what appeared to be a strange yellow elliptical object docked with the hull of the ISS. The live camera feed was quickly recorded and uploaded to YouTube.
The video is controversial and there have been a few NASA insiders that have made outrageous claims about Unidentified Craft docking at the space station.
Keep in mind that none of those who have reported the incidents have claimed that aliens are involved.
The original ISS feed of the UFO appearing was first posted on Ustream but was immediately deleted.
It is no longer appropriate to pretend that the truth is out there when there are accounts as compelling as these.
If seeing is not believing then what do we rely on, what we hear? If testimonies of astronauts are not credible then who else can we speak to that can give us a more critical view of the anomalous objects that are being reported?
Is this an indication of the weaponizing of space, or can we allow ourselves to speculate that maybe there are alien spacecraft after all and that if they ever come near our astronauts or even our space station that whatever is monitoring the event will suddenly be cut and that a public relations firm will then tell us what we didn’t see?
It is no more about belief or questioning belief in something like UFO’s. The word alone makes it sound like perhaps there is some sort of faith or religion involved. If the term “belief” or “believe” wasn’t part of the speak of those who promote the truth embargo then perhaps it would be easier to state that with much of the testimony, pictures, film and other proofs that there is reason to consider the possibility that UFO’s exist and that the extension of believing that extraterrestrials piloting them is a matter or belief without proof.
Now, the challenge is to be informed or uninformed about what truth is out there and who is pushing the accounts of the encounters.
Always remember when confronted by s skeptic or a debunker on the subjects of UFOs that it is not all that difficult to call upon the U.S. military and intelligence community to find many brilliant and dedicated professionals who not only are “believers”, but who have been briefed on the matter.
Astronauts, pilots, military personnel and others are now coming forward and giving the news now before an official disclosure is made by the United states Government, if it ever is made.
Onbekend signaal mogelijk afkomstig van buitenaardse beschaving
Onbekend signaal mogelijk afkomstig van buitenaardse beschaving
Astronomen zitten met de handen in het haar. Twee grote radiotelescopen aan weerszijden van de planeet hebben een onbekend signaal gedetecteerd. Wetenschappers hebben geen idee hoe het is ontstaan of waar het vandaan komt. Op dit moment kan niets worden uitgesloten.
In 2007 werd de eerste zogeheten korte radioflits opgevangen. Duncan Lorimer en zijn collega’s ontdekten het signaal in gegevens van de Parkes-radiotelescoop in Australië. Lorimer dacht destijds dat de flits buiten onze Melkweg was ontstaan. Toen pikte dezelfde telescoop meerdere soortgelijke flitsen op van dichterbijgelegen bronnen.
Andere astronomen begonnen te vermoeden dat het ging om een fout in de meetapparatuur. Daar kwam afgelopen jaar verandering in, toen in vakblad Science de ontdekking van vier nieuwe radioflitsen werd aangekondigd. De meeste sterrenkundigen waren ervan overtuigd dat er iets mysterieus gaande was.
Omdat alle radioflitsen waren gedetecteerd met één radiotelescoop, de Parkes-telescoop, vroegen sommige astronomen zich af of de flitsen misschien te maken hadden met de elektronica van de telescoop. Dat bleek niet het geval, want ook de Arecibo-radiotelescoop in Puerto Rico pikte een korte radioflits op.
Lorimer zei dat in de wetenschappelijke literatuur binnenkort meer meldingen van het signaal zullen verschijnen. Er wordt druk gespeculeerd over deze mysterieuze flitsen. Sommige astronomen denken dat ze worden veroorzaakt door blitzars, energiepulsen van een supermassief zwart gat. Anderen denken dat ze afkomstig zijn van zonnevlammen van nabijgelegen sterren.
Het is ook mogelijk dat de korte radioflitsen zijn geproduceerd door een intergalactische buitenaardse beschaving. Lorimer zei dat in bepaalde onderzoeken rekening wordt gehouden met de mogelijkheid dat het signalen zijn van buitenaardse beschavingen.
Hij verwees naar een studie over de mogelijkheid dat de flitsen bewust zijn gecreëerd door intelligente buitenaardse wezens om hun bestaan aan de aarde en de rest van het universum kenbaar te maken.
Nu is het zaak de herkomst van de korte radioflitsen te achterhalen om te bepalen uit welk sterrenstelsel ze afkomstig zijn. In de toekomst zullen speciale telescopen worden belast met de speurtocht naar deze signalen. “We zijn getuige van de geboorte van een geheel nieuw onderzoeksgebied,” aldus Lorimer.
New amazing video footage recorded of a UFO sighting by a tourist driving by The Area 51 in July 2014.
Witness said: A tourist films a UFO from a bus window while traveling through Nevada, July 2014. Sandra Q. sent us this tape. She said she was filming out of the window of the bus and saw something fly past really fast. She assumed the object was just a bird or debris. She added that the object went so fast she really did not react besides trying to film in the direction it flew off in. She zooms in on top of the mountain, but the UFO flew past it already. When Sandra reviewed the tape, she quickly realized that she filmed a real UFO.
Join Dark Journalist and former USAF Sergeant Niara Isley for a fascinating in-depth discussion of her terrifying and transformative experiences as a UFO and Military Abductee (MILAB).
Together they will recount her earth-shattering encounters with the Grey aliens and their experiments to develop alien/human hybrid children using her as an unconscious vehicle!
Also how the military recruited her into a trauma-based mind control program that gave her access to reverse-engineered extraterrestrial craft and a secret off-world space program located on the moon.
Niara Isley’s journey through the covert world of alien contact and top secret military UFO programs will make you totally reconsider the official reality on the truth about extraterrestrials and the fantastically advanced technology they possess.
After listening to this interview and reading her new book “Facing the Shadow Embracing the Light” you may never look at space, aliens and the military the same way again!
Images taken by a European probe en route to link up with a comet, have revealed a striking feature of the target comet coming into view.
The intensity difference could be caused by different materials, or by a variation in the sizes of the dust and ice grains that compose the comet. A topographical effect could also be responsible for the contrast.
Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is made up of two lumps connected by some sort of link, according to images captured by the European Space Agency’s Rosetta mission.
Photos of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko captured by the European Space Agency‘s Rosetta mission reveal the comet’s “neck.” The pictures suggest that something interesting is going on in the connecting link between the smaller head and the larger body of the comet.
The 2014 Mutual UFO Network Symposium gave MUFON a chance to get some business done, and present speakers who looked at the issues with the media’s coverage of the UFO topic. We interviewed several of the speakers and MUFON administrators to find out how they felt the symposium went, and to get their take on the theme of the conference.
The following report concerns alien contact and a possible MIB encounter. It was submitted to NUFORC and occurred near Tonopah, Arizona on July 1, 2009 at approx. 10:30 PM. The area is in western Maricopa County, Arizona, approximately 50 miles west of downtown Phoenix off Interstate 10. The community of Tonopah is near the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, the largest nuclear power plant in the country. There have been considerable UFO/alien accounts from this general area including rumors that a deep underground facility is nearby:
While in the desert near the Palo Verde Nuclear Plant, the main witness and some friends saw a very large triangle shaped UFO. They were driving down a dirt road and saw a bright flashing light. They had seen objects in the area before and their intentions were to look for UFO’s. According to the witnesses, people that live in this area have been chased in their cars and seen objects on a regular basis. They went off the road behind some mountains, and no sooner had they come around the mountain they saw the large flashing light. All of them were scared but, at the same time, curious.
The main witness friend’s girlfriend was crying and telling them to turn around; they got within 2 to 300 yards from the light. It was the size of three football fields, triangular in shape, and had windows around it. It was about 3 stories tall, and about 30 feet off the ground, they flashed their lights and it flashed back, in the same sequence of flashes. The main witness and his friend, James, got out of the car and walked closer. The closer they got, the better they could make out what was standing in the windows. They could see small big headed aliens, and then 7 to 9 foot tall aliens, they based this on the size of the windows. Some of the windows they could see through, the other windows were dark, but then the dark windows, cleared up one by one, and as they went clear more and more aliens appeared on the windows. James was supposedly videotaping the whole time. The main witness was terrified but excited at the same time.
They walked closer and had to stop because the heat coming from the craft was so intense. The craft hovered and then landed. A large panel at the bottom of the craft opened and two aliens proceeded to walk out. This absolutely terrified the witnesses, but they couldn’t move or talk. The main witness remembers trying to scream and run but they couldn’t move or talk. Two others were in the car honking the horn, and screaming for them to come back, but they couldn’t respond or move.
The aliens walked up to within 20 feet of them. One of them was very thin and tall, about 8-9 feet, the other one was about 3-4 feet tall. The witnesses stood there in amazement, shocked because they couldn’t move or speak. Then calmness came over them and the aliens began speaking to them telepathically, they were saying not to be scared that they were not going to harm them. This “conversation” went on between the 4 of them for 15-20 minutes. They said they were here to help us, so that we would not destroy our planet, and that there was a horrible event coming soon, that it had to be stopped. One of the witnesses asked if it was something like ‘9/11’ and they said that it was bigger and that it would come from the Middle East. The main witness then thought to himself that he had been in this situation before and the tall alien heard his thoughts and repeated his name and said that yes, he had been visited before when he was 6 years old in Deming, New Mexico. He had been in the desert exploring and they had talked to him then. He had blocked that out, but it all suddenly came back, they said they knew they were coming and wanted them to warn people about global warming and what was to come if they didn’t take start taking care of our planet. Visions of disaster then entered their heads, as if to show them what was to come.
The taller alien then walked closer, and held his hand. He was no longer scared, neither was his friend, James. They said that they would see them again soon and to warn people about ‘saving our planet’. Supposedly James was recording the whole time. The aliens then returned to the craft and it was gone in a split second. When the craft left they both felt weak, but managed to make their way back to the car, when they got there the occupants of the car, Heather and Jamie, were not crying anymore they just hugged the witnesses.
For a minute the car would not start and suddenly it just turned on by itself. As they started to drive away three military helicopters appeared and began shining their lights on the witnesses. Then two military Hummers showed up and chased the witnesses. They tried to avoid the Hummers but were told over a speaker to pull over or they would be forced to shoot at them. They pulled over and military personnel surrounded their vehicle.
Two men dressed in black opened the door and asked them to get out. One of them looked familiar to the main witness. He asked the witnesses to get out and both questioned them, while the military personnel searched the car. They asked them what they had seen, how long they had been there and if they had had any contact with the alien ship. One of the soldiers then found the video camera. The men in black reviewed it and told the witnesses they were not to speak of this, they then confiscated the camera and took the main witness with them. The other 3 witnesses asked where they were going and they told them not to worry about it. He left with them and they questioned him further. He kept staring at one of the men since he looked familiar. They then dropped him off on the I-10 highway near Tonopah Joe’s restaurant. There he was later picked up by his friends.
Colonel H. G. Shaw, along with his friend Camille Spooner, had a close encounter with unknown entities in 1896. Shaw was in charge of putting together an exhibition to be displayed at a Fair in Fresno. Shaw and friend were traveling by horse and carriage in route to Stockton, when their horse froze with fright. s actions; three tall alien looking beings with small delicate hands at the end of their spindly arms stood by the road. They had no hair on their heads, yet a soft, light fuzz over their bodies. Large eyes made their small mouths and ears appear even smaller. The two eyewitnesses would later tell authorities that the beings had a “strange” type of beauty to them.
All of the beings carried with them a bag of some kind with a hose which they often stuck in their mouths, obviously to breath with. Although there was still some daytime left, the beings also carried with them egg-shaped lamps which glowed. This glow would later illuminate a waiting spaceship.
As the men watched the aliens, the beings were communicating with each other by a type of chant, as no English words were heard by Shaw and Spooner. The men would tell authorities that the aliens made an attempt to abduct them, but that the large difference in mass between the human and alien body thwarted the effort. Soon, the three alien beings made a move toward a nearby bridge. Using their other worldly lamps, the aliens lighted up the bridge, showing a nearby craft. The UFO was of a cigar shape, and it hovered quietly over the water. The beings seemed to be almost lighter than air as they moved toward their craft. It seemed that the aliens would almost leave the ground as they walked on the earth. The beings entered the hovering cigar UFO in a most unconventional way also. They sprung up from the ground and above their craft, and then floated down into the craft through an unseen entry.
Soon, the object flew away. Shaw later told investigators that, in his opinion, the craft had come from Mars, a common theory for the time. This unusual case occurred on November 25, and was reported by Jenny Randles, in “Alien Contacts and Abductions.”
As he had promised to do, MUFON’s Executive Director, Jan Harzan, has opened up the Billy Meier UFO case for international investigation and discussion. By making the research page also interactive, now MUFON’s large international membership, and all other interested parties, can pose their questions and challenges about the Meier case.
It’s also to be noted that the Meier case is also still ongoing – for over 72 years – and the next logical step of course is for MUFON itself to fully participate in the investigation.
MUFON receives an average of 500 – 1,000 reports of UFOs per month, equaling approximately 6,000 – 12,000 reports per year. To date, as far as I have learned, none of those reports has resulted in any verifiable evidence of anything of extraterrestrial manufacture, nor certainly of any contact between any extraterrestrial life forms and anyone on Earth.
I have already suggested that, with decades of such consistently fruitless expenditures of MUFON’s valuable resources, in time, manpower and money, that:
1. All such future reports should first be referred to local authorities, or independent scientific researchers, for actual investigation so that sufficient, credible evidence can be collected before turning it over to MUFON for any further investment of its resources.
2. Since the Meier case is still ongoing – and all the freely available, still irreproducible evidence remains unequaled by any of the tens, or hundreds of thousands of already reported cases over the past 45 years – MUFON now has the opportunity to determine if they’ve finally found what they, what we all, have been looking for. If so, MUFON would play an important role in revealing and confirming the most important true story in all of science and human history.
My thanks again to Jan Harzan for taking these courageous, historic steps and actions in pursuit of the truth.

A Sefton paranormal group claims to have found evidence of spiritual activity in a Chester property.
The group, called Sefton Paranormal Investigations, was at Stanley Palace on the night of June 28 when they made the discovery.
Footage taken at the investigation reportedly captures the image of a person standing on a staircase in the 16th century Tudor building.
Co-founder Aaron Robinette is seen in the video with team member Joanne May at a location they identified as a hotspot.
Aaron, from Southport, said: “We were informed by the curator that there was a staircase with a door underneath it, where a man died.
“In the video, I’m sat on a chair and Joe is sat on the staircase, and we’re calling out to spirits.
“Nothing happened, but it was only when watching the video back that I saw it. It appears and disappears in shot, all in front of the camera.
James Griffiths, Aaron Robinette and Alan Mee, who are part of Sefton Paranormal Investigations “We try to disprove it and if we can’t find a natural explanation, like shadows or reflections, it’s the main reason I believe I can categorise it as paranormal.”
The figure was described as a solid person with a visible nose, mouth and hair, which looks first at the camera and then up the stairs.
Aaron said that the video had over 7,000 views on its first day online, which has since risen to over 24,000.
The team uses a number of techniques such as laying down trigger objects which are filmed for any spiritual interaction.
Another method is the use of franks boxes which are specialised digital radios that scan on a loop for any spiritual communication.
Sefton Paranormal Investigations has been active for over five years and is a team of five volunteers.
Other members of the group are Pamela Robinette Alan Mee and Barry Harrison. – Watch video at Southport Visiter
I’m 18 and I just graduated high school and I work at a call center and I’m actually typing this at work because it’s pretty slow.
I grew up in a very religious family, my family is Mormon. My parents split when I was five. I’ve always had troubles with the split, my mom married an ex green beret and he is a hard ass. Lets just say I suffer from severe clinical depression and anxiety attacks, but that doesn’t have anything to with what I’m about to tell you, besides the fact that I have troubles sleeping because of the things I’ve been told and experienced.
One day when I was probably 11 or 12 my sisters and I were talking to my dad telling random stories when the subject changed to scary stories. My dad was telling me about his brother, and these are true stories. Anyways in the Mormon religion they tell you to never ask for a God to show you a sign of his existence because supposedly bad things will happen. My dad told me that his brother, I’ll just call him T, well T asked for a sign of God, nothing happened, or so he thought. Well he was with his friends and when the time came he decided to go home. When he got in his car he saw something on his dash board, something evil. He smelled a smell that was rotten, he felt dread, and sadness. No one knows how he got home but my grandparents heard a pounding at the door, they were like uhhh ok what the hell. So they go to the door and it’s T standing up hitting his head on the door over and over again. At his point they think he’s on drugs or something so they pull him in and he has a look of pure evil on his face. Another fact about he Mormon religion, all males receive the priesthood which is like a certain form of authority and power. Anyways my grandpa has the priesthood and he could sense that something was very wrong, he knew that something evil was present. My grandpa knew that this wasn’t T. He said a special Mormon prayer and the second he was done he immediately felt the evil disappear. Now, I know a lot of people will be skeptical, and I am myself because I actually don’t believe in religion and I don’t consider myself Mormon, but I know for fact that neither my dad nor my grandpa are lying men. T never told anyone what he saw that day but I don’t blame him I wouldn’t really want to talk about it either.
I always talk about scary stories and read them and just infatuate myself with them. My dad told me the more you talk about it and such, the more you bring it into your life. I believe that to be true because I’ve had some pretty sketchy things happen to me. I’ll probably post some more about the things I have experienced so if you’re interested just keep a look out for more of my posts. – Reddit.com
A Houston-area man who has spent his whole career investigating the existence of the “Hairy Wild Man” known as Bigfoot is now offering a class so his decades of research do not get lost.
Rob Riggs grew up right outside the creepy area known as Big Thicket Preserve 100 miles east of Houston. Stories of ghosts, mystery sightings and strange wild animals have long been associated with this jungle-like wilderness.
Riggs’ class entitled, “Big Thicket – Lair of the Mysterious” at the Houston’s Leisure and Learning Center aims to highlight some of the weirdest tales and let students make up their own mind on that burning question, “Does Bigfoot exist?”
“A lot of people have no concept of what it’s like in East Texas,” says Riggs, “Big Thicket is one of only two areas in the contiguous United States that botanists consider to be jungle.”
And in that jungle, something lurks, Riggs says.
“If you’re interested in the paranormal or cryptozoology you should know there’s whole areas near Houston where these weird things happen,” Riggs continued. – Chron
Our destination was a Victorian home in the quiet town of Mitchell, Indiana – 3,700 square feet with crystal chandeliers, four poster beds and stained glass. No one lives in the stately home now, but the residence is never empty.
Owner Van Renier explains,”Every house has a story and this one will haunt you.”
Numerous deaths occurred within its walls. The Travel Channel has given the house the distinction of being the 4th most haunted place in the country. The disembodied voices guest experience so frequently lead to the name Whispers Estate.
“Whether we understand it or not we’re experiencing something,” Renier said.
The Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS), seen on the popular SyFy Channel series “Ghost Hunters”, claims that limestone possesses great residual energy conductivity. In other words, Whispers Estate’s limestone foundation is a hot bed for paranormal occurrences.
“When you hear the footsteps you pray that they are a child’s footsteps. They’re little pitter-patter of feet maybe about 70-80 lbs. However there’s another set of footsteps that happens in the house. It’s more like loud stomping. It’s very heavy and very menacing,” Renier says about the home.
The menacing footsteps are believed to be demonic or that of past owner Dr. John Gibbons. The home was not only the site of Dr. John’s medical practice, but home to his wife Jessie and their many adopted and orphaned children. Jessie died in the home and it is believed at least two of their children died in the home as well.
“We have a confirmed record of six deaths in the house. That doesn’t include any possible patients that might have died in the 27 years Dr. John had his medical practice in the house,” Renier stressed.
The branch of Historic Archives for Mitchell, Indiana, could not document the number of patients that may have died in the home, however, they could not dismiss accounts of body parts that may have been buried in the Estate’s yard after amputations or abortions. No one can explain who opens the doors, bites, scratches or pushes when there is no one and nothing in sight.
“I got pushed down the 3rd floor stairs. I got busted over the right eye brow. I got two scars on my left arm. One on my right. After being pushed down the 3rd floor stairs, I don’t feel comfortable being in the house by myself after dark,” Renier says in a serious tone.
Our WAVE 3 News Team decided to stay after dark, in the dark to see what we could catch on camera. We spent the night visiting every room with equipment to measure sound, electromagnetic fields, temperature, and movement all with the hope to witness and record the paranormal.
A paranormal investigator from Access the Paranormal shouted out in the dark, “Are you here?”
Something abnormal happened. Our team now had to figure out if it was paranormal.
As we sat in the pitch black basement I slowly said in disbelief, “Flash light was off. Flash light just came on.”
We had grabbed a number of flashlights from a large container in the living room of the home before all gathering in the basement. We had used these very flash lights to guide us through the dark.
“Can you turn it off for us please? All you need to do is touch it and turn it off. Can you do it on the count of 1, 2, 3,” Danny Hall said politely to the void.
At the end of the 3-count the flash light went out.
In an overly friendly tone Hall said, “Thank you!”
Something or someone seemed to follow our instructions each time.
“Could you turn that flash light back on for me please one time,” Hall commanded.
In a matter of seconds following the command to turn on the light, there was light.
Hall was grateful once again, “Thank you.”
His paranormal partner for the night David Heatherly laughed as he exclaimed,”About time.”
We had been hunting for the sign of anything paranormal, abnormal or just strange for most of the night and finally in the basement something happened.
Never experiencing anything like this before the only words that came to my mind,”You have got to be kidding me!”
“Ready 1, 2, 3,” were the instructions from Hall.
There was not even a demand to turn it off this time but the action was performed with no sight of who performed the deed. The reporter part of me pushed past the paranormal and the fear to bring us all together to investigate the site where the flash light was resting and the light itself.
“A regular old mag light,” Hall exclaimed and we could see.
It was a regular old mag light.
Renier emphasized, “I actually believe you have more to fear from the living than from the dead. Do I believe that they can hurt us? Yes, absolutely!”
VanRenierr may not understand it or be able to see it but he bets his life that what he has and hasn’t been able to see is real.
“If you think you hear something and you’re by yourself I can say ok it might be your imagination but if you hear something and I hear something and they hear something and they hear something, You have multiple people hearing the exact same thing. I don’t believe it collective subconscious,” Renier underscored with great emphasis. – KPHO
A Michigan truck driver at Grand Rapids reported watching two UFOs at close range near an airport, according to July 31, 2014, testimony in Case 58539 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was driving near an airport in Grand Rapids, MI, when two UFOs were seen at low altitude. Pictured: Gerald R. Ford International Airport, Grand Rapids. (Credit: Google)
The witness identified himself as a professional driver who first saw a large object “crossing the freeway toward the nearby airport,” about 11:30 p.m. on July 27, 2014.
“As I approached I realized the craft was moving much slower than a standard aircraft and its three lights on the side showed an outline of a rectangle shape,” the witness stated.
The witness then drove to a position just under and behind the object.
The witness says the first object was slow moving under 500 feet and less than 500 feet away. Pictured: Gerald R. Ford International Airport, Grand Rapids. (Credit: Google)
“That is when I realized it was triangle shaped. The lights were very bright and showed an indentation on the craft that cast shadows due to the lights. Being in a semi truck I could not stop or take pictures.”
The MUFON report indicates the object was operating at an altitude of less than 500 feet and the distance between the witness and object was between 101 and 500 feet. Further down the roadway the witness then had a second encounter.
“About two to three miles down the road I saw a much smaller craft which had five white lights and one red. Moved very slow and appeared to hover. Once again due to driving I was unable to get pictures or video.”
The witness indicated that he is familiar with the area and has never seen objects like this before.
“This area has a nearby airport. I have seen flights come and go from the road many times. Nothing has ever moved or appeared the way these two crafts did. The triangle shape had three lights on the side. It also had one light in the front and two more going to the rear of the craft. Very bright. Almost so bright it showed a haze of light.”
The witness saw a second, smaller object, further down the road just after 11:30 p.m. on July 27, 2014. Pictured: Gerald R. Ford International Airport, Grand Rapids. (Credit: Google)
Grand Rapids is located on the Grand River about 25 miles east of Lake Michigan, population 188,040. Michigan MUFON is investigating. Michigan has a current UFO Alert Rating of 4 with a higher than average number of recent reports nationally. Michigan had 22 UFO reports in June 2014 – the 9th highest reporting state – while California had 107 reports as the highest reporting state. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels – 1 through 5 – where states with 150 or more reports for the month are rated an Alert 1; states with 100 or more reports are rated an Alert 2; 25 reports or more for the month are rated an Alert 3; 13 or more reports are rated an Alert 4; and those states with less than 13 reports for the month are an Alert 5.
The photo of Alien was taken by Mr. Thuy on the Luong Ngoc Quyen street, Ha Noi, Viet Nam caused much controversy in the social community.
In mid-July, Mr. Thuy accidentally taken a picture of a strange creature that he believes is an alien.
Mr. Thuy describe: organisms height of about 50 – 60 centimeters, and the big round head, big bulging eyes, broad forehead, long neck, has 4 arms, 2 legs, under their hooves. Body size small.
“That happened on July 12. While I was sitting drinking tea with 4 of my friends on Luong Ngoc Quyen street, I use my phone to capture foreigners walking on the street and accidentally captured alien images.” Mr. Thuy said.
Mr. Thuy save the image in a computer tablet. Picture is very sharp, almost no expression of the graft or intervention to the picture content. Strange creatures exactly as he described, it has 2 legs and 4 arms. Small body and large head likeness “aliens” that the media often portrayed.
“I guarantee never to interfere in the photo. Since the discovery of strange creatures, I would not dare lend the machine to preserve the image. I’m looking to get a satisfactory explanation of the strange creatures in that picture, ” Mr. Thuy said.
To check the authenticity of the photo, we have to resort to some professional repairman pictures but most are confirmed not intervene photos by Photoshop or any other application.
In 1961, some rock hounds went out poking around for geodes and such in the Olancha, California. While opening up a geode, one of the rock collectors was amazed. There was a man-made object within and the geode was aged at about 500,000 years.
The find was under much criticism because it was reportedly examined by a geologist (unnamed) who proclaimed the geode was 500,000 years old (no report filed). Ron Calais, a creationist, was allowed to photograph and x-ray the item. It appeared to have a corroded piece of metal in a coil shape with a porcelain shape. Oddly, the whereabouts of the item are unknown. One of the finders has deceased, one is missing and one is still alive, but will not speak about it. Of all the talk going back and forth about this find and conjecture, an ancient spark plug seems to be the one most often bantered about. The porcelain is seen as an insulator. Porcelain Insulators
Power lines and other electrified wires transmit high-voltage electrical energy along suspended wires. While the wires themselves typically contain no insulation, certain spots along the electrified wires require insulation. For example, insulators are required in places where the live electrical wires come into contact with the poles that support them, and where they come into contact with buildings. Since insulators do not respond to electrical fields, they can go a long way in preventing fires and electrical failure.
Porcelain insulators typically contain large concentrations of some other mineral like alumina or clay. The combination of porcelain and other minerals allows electricity to pass without reacting with nearby electrical conductors. This not only ensures greater safety, but enables the electricity to pass without losing any of its charge. Since porcelain does not conduct electricity, especially when combined with other non-conductive materials, it makes the ideal material for insulators.
The coil brings to mind these numerous metal tiny spirals found in Russia.
As we have been told that man did not have knowledge of technology because he seemed to have “forgotten” the knowledge of building megaliths or making batteries, we are stuck in that rut that is, unfortunately, common beliefs in archaeology and anthropology.
Yes, man did not have that knowledge, at least not homo sapiens, but what of an earlier evolved intelligent race of humankind? They had the knowledge. They went away. Homo sapiens aped it or tried to retro-engineer or simply didn't understand its uses and did not evolve to such knowledge until thousands of years later.
Baghdad battery: The components were found in Mesopotamia dating back to about 250 BCE (before common era, or in other words, BC). Ironically, archaeologists generally dismiss this concept that these components were for a battery and many point to “Chariots of the Gods” and “pseudoarchaeology” as being incorrect. It would seem that OPART (out of place/out of time) objects are still the bane of archaeologists' existence.
These items included a terra cotta pot (remember above the underlined and bolded necessary ingredient for insulation – clay?), a copper cylinder with an iron rod inside. The jar would bulge outward toward the middle and the cylinder/rod iron would fit tightly into the opening. It would be allowed to be exposed to the elements and corrode and then an acidic component would be added to create current, such as lemon juice or vinegar.
To support this theory, gold-plated objects found in the Middle East shows signs of electroplating. This has also been disputed as being fire-plated using mercury. Around and around the concept of ancient electricity goes, always stopped at the foot of archaeologists and anthropologists who do not want to cause any disruption in commonly accepted concepts in their field.
It seems this could be cleared up neatly if one made a homemade battery as was found in the Baghdad area and try electroplating something with gold. Then, try doing it utilizing mercury and fire plating. Compare to the artifact. Hmmm
Was this (below) and Egyptian light bulb? Were the pyramids piezoelectric-creating powerhouses?
It is believed the pyramids are giant capacitors, constructed to make use of piezoelectricity in these stone buildings that come to a singular point. With a solid gold tip (conductor) at the top of the pyramid and the subsequent amplification of current through the stone to the top, a discharge would occur. Basically, the building was made to hold a charge.
I'm coming to think that Tesla's theory was put to use in HAARP experiment. HAARP was an array of antennae placed in Alaska to work on making changes in the ionosphere to see the results. Many blamed bad weather, earthquakes and bad mojo on it, but here's something telling Tesla said that might shed light onto it - After reading something Tesla said, I am looking at government actions in a new light. Tesla likened the Earth to one capacitor plate and the ionosphere as another. The volt gradient between them is measured at 400,000 volts. By using this principle, he said that he could give free easy energy to the world… I'm still of the impression that homo sapiens having and losing this knowledge is a quirky concept, as we have never been able to put the genie back in the bottle (the wheel, fire, the atomic bomb….) That would mean that we never had the knowledge, yet there is proof someone was using such knowledge long ago in fairly crude methods, but knowledge just the same, which to me points at the concept, not of aliens, but of another branch of man who had earlier evolution, the first world migration, the originators….
