“I feel 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. Under Project Blue Book, the US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years; and we continue this research.

4,500,000,000 Earth-like Planets in our Galaxy

Billions of Earth-like alien planets likely reside in our Milky Way galaxy, and the nearest such world may be just a stone's throw away in the cosmic scheme of things, a new study reports.

Astronomers have calculated that 6 percent of the galaxy's 75 billion or so red dwarfs — stars smaller and dimmer than the Earth's own sun — probably host habitable, roughly Earth-size planets. That works out to at least 4.5 billion such "alien Earths," the closest of which might be found a mere dozen light-years away, researchers said.

"We thought we would have to search vast distances to find an Earth-like planet," study lead author Courtney Dressing, of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA), said in a statement. "Now we realize another Earth is probably in our own backyard, waiting to be spotted."

Dressing and her team analyzed data gathered by NASA's prolific Kepler space telescope, which is staring continuously at more than 150,000 target stars. Kepler spots alien planets by flagging the tiny brightness dips caused when the planets transit, or cross the face of, their stars from the instrument's perspective.

Kepler has detected 2,740 exoplanet candidates since its March 2009 launch.                                                       

 Follow-up observations have confirmed only 105 of these possibilities to date. In the new study, Dressing and her colleagues re-analyzed the red dwarfs in Kepler's field of view and found that nearly all are smaller and cooler than previously thought. This new information bears strongly on the search for Earth-like alien planets, since roughly 75 percent of the galaxy's 100 billion or so stars are red dwarfs.

Further, scientists determine the sizes of transiting exoplanets by comparison to their parent stars, based on how much of the stars' disks the planets blot out when transitting. So a reduction in a star's calculated size brings a planet's size down, to the realm of rocky worlds with a solid, potentially life-supporting surface.

And the size and location of a star's " habitable zone," the range of distances that could support the existence of liquid water on a planet's surface, are strongly tied to stellar brightness and temperature.

The team calculated that about 60 percent of red dwarfs likely host worlds smaller than Neptune. Dressing and her colleagues determined that Kepler has spotted three roughly Earth-size exoplanet candidates in the habitable zones of their parent red dwarfs. One of these worlds is Kepler Object of Interest (KOI) 1422.02. This candidate's newly calculated size is 90 percent that of Earth, and it circles its star every 20 days. This planet may be the first "alien Earth" ever discovered. There are other candidates that could have life like Earth. 9 Exoplanets That Could Host Alien Life]

4,500.000,000 of Earth-like planets

The team further determined that about 6 percent of the Milky Way's red dwarfs should harbor roughly Earth-size planets in their habitable zones, meaning that at least 4.5 billion such worlds may be scattered throughout our galaxy.

"We now know the rate of occurrence of habitable planets around the most common stars in our galaxy," co-author David Charbonneau, also of CfA, said in a statement. "That rate implies that it will be significantly easier to search for life beyond the solar system than we previously thought."

That search may bear fruit right in Earth's backyard, researchers said.

"According to our analysis, the closest Earth-like planet is likely within 13 light-years, which is right next door in terms of astronomical distances," Dressing told SPACE.

"The knowledge that another Earth-like planet might be so close is incredibly exciting and bodes well for the next generation of missions designed to detect nearby Earth-like planets," she added. "Once we find nearby Earth-like planets, astronomers are eager to study them in detail with the James Webb Space Telescope and proposed extremely large ground-based telescopes like the Giant Magellan Telescope."

Red dwarfs are also longer-lived than stars like the sun, suggesting that some planets in red dwarf habitable zones may harbor life that's been around a lot longer than that on Earth, which first took root about 3.8 billion years ago.

Scientists have also detected five planetary candidates circling the star Tau Ceti, which lies 11.9 light-years away. The new study will be published in The Astrophysical Journal. Thanks to space com.

General George C. Marshall to President Franklin D. Roosevelt Recovered Government Document 03.05.1942

...’regarding the air raid over Los Angeles it was learned by Army G2 that Rear Admiral Anderson recovered an unidentified airplane off the coast of California with no bearing on conventional explanation... This Headquarters has come to the determination that the mystery airplanes are in fact not earthly and according to secret intelligence sources they are in all probability of interplanetary origin....

As a consequence I have issued orders to Army G2 that a special intelligence unit be created to further investigate the phenomenon and report any significant connection between recent incidents and those collected by the director the office of Coordinator of Information.’

The memo bears correct Office of Chief of Staff (OCS) file numbers and has "Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit" (IPU) typed on it at a later time by a different typewriter. It is logical to believe that this is the order that sets up the IPU. Thanks to Frank Chili

Structures on the Moon

Allegedly China will be releasing Hi Res images taken by the Chang'e-2 moon orbiter, which clearly show buildings and structures on our Moon’s surface.

China is moving toward full disclosure of the Extraterrestrial reality.

China will be releasing all the data and images from the Chang'e-2 in the coming months.

Russian Revolution Film in 1917 with UFO

 Hello again Major Filer...Have I got something for you to scratch your head over I was watching a movie called 

‘World War I: Russian Revolution; 1/4 on YouTube ....I notice an object flash through the frames all I could was stop on the frames.

This is what I found  on the 1-4 You Tube 1.png  white dot on the right side I am not sure about, but were the red arrows are pointing they looks to me metallic, nearly the same shape as the photo of the orb in the field in Poland.

Phobos Likely Contains Large Voids

David Ironside, writes “I noticed that it was mentioned that the Phobos research couldn't be 

found except on some questionable website. I looked around after reading 

your article and found these links in the peer reviewed journal,”

The Abstract

[1] We report independent results from two subgroups of the Mars Express Radio Science (MaRS) team who independently analyzed Mars Express (MEX) radio tracking data for the purpose of determining consistently the gravitational attraction of the moon Phobos on the MEX spacecraft, and hence the mass of Phobos. New values for the gravitational parameter (GM = 0.7127 ± 0.0021 × 10−3 km3/s2) and density of Phobos (1876 ± 20 kg/m3) provide meaningful new constraints on the corresponding range of the body's porosity (30% ± 5%), provide a basis for improved interpretation of the internal structure.

We conclude that the interior of Phobos likely contains large voids. When applied to various hypotheses bearing on the origin of Phobos, these results are inconsistent with the proposition that Phobos is a captured asteroid.

Thanks again for you fine work in Filers Files. Regards, David Ironside in New Zealand. It was so sad to hear of Ingo Swan I met him in New York and spent some memorable evenings with and friends like John Keel.

Monolith on Phobos

One of the two moons of Mars with its Monolith appears to be similar to the Washington Monument making it unlikely to be a natural formation. 

Phobos, was discovered by A. Hall in 1877, and still attracts great attention.

Astronaut Buzz Aldrin said in an interview with C-Span some years ago. "We should visit the moon of Mars. There is a monolith there, a very unusual structure on this little potatoes-shaped object that goes around Mars."

His words confirmed the existence of a mysterious structure on Phobos, one of Mars' two moons.

When Buzz Aldrin was asked who created the structure, he replied with a smile, “It was either the Universe or God.”“

Has Curiosity Discovered Organic Compounds on Mars?

NASA has made a potentially huge discovery on Mars via Curiosity's Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument. SAM is the rover's on-board set of chemical analytics tools, tasked with identifying organic compounds. NASA’s Dr. Levin claims both Viking Landers discovered life on Mars in 1976.

Study Suggests Earth, Mars Share Primordial Water Source, Chondritic Meteorites

In their earliest eras, the Earth, Mars and the solar system's other rocky planets drew water from the same source, chondritic meteorites -- not usually credited comets, suggest recent studies of two primitive space rocks of Martian origin. Mars at ...

Possible Illinois Visitation

DeKalb – The witness David Telford was driving home after work taking a series of ninety degree turns on county roads and realized a light was following his various turns. At first, he thought it was an aircraft but realized it was making the sharp turns that an aircraft could not make. He got home and saw a disc shaped craft descend to about 200 feet altitude about 100 yards from his house. His wife was cooking a roast for dinner that had been in the oven for about an hour.

He asked his wife and nine year old daughter, “Come outside and see this revolving disc with colored lights.” It was making a low whoop whoop sound. They stood outside and watched the disc for a few minutes and decided to go back in the house.

When they entered the kitchen the roast was smoking and burned to a crisp. It appeared there were several hours of missing time. Later in his dreams he remembers being taken aboard a space ship with a tall thin being that was in charge taking him past a series of rooms with smaller beings. He felt they are researching humans in attempt to understand our emotions, and illnesses such as arthritis. He does not feel they are here to harm us. He noticed scoop marks on his body. Partially as a result of the possible abductions they moved a thousand miles away. He still feels something may be occurring because when he puts his head on the pillow, he immediately goes to sleep, and what seems like a few seconds he awakes and it is morning. He has a series of red spots between his fingers that seem related to the abductions. Photo is depiction.

North Korea Conducts Nuclear Test

North Korea confirmed through its official news agency KCNA that it conducted an underground nuclear test on Tuesday. The test employed "a miniaturized and lighter nuclear device with greater explosive force" than previously tested," reported Reuters. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney called the test "a highly provocative act" that "undermines regional stability," among the detrimental effects. He called for "further swift and credible action by the international community" to deal with this provocation. This is North Korea's third nuclear test, following underground events in 2006 and 2009.

Note: Is it wise to cut military forces drastically at this time?

Citizen Hearings on UFOs at National Press Club

The Citizens' Hearing on Disclosure will be produced by Paradigm Research Group and will take place between April 29 and May 3 in Washington, DC at the National Press Club where the main ballroom will be turned into a "Congressional Hearing Room."  This unprecedented project will bring top researchers from around the world along with government/agency witnesses to testify for 30 hours over five days before former members of the United States Congress.
