Wow, What A Heat Wave!

Hi all:

In UFOs and Government's Chapter 12: Something Closer This Way Comes there is some reference to close encounters in which the witnesses received "radiation burn marks" from the unidentified object.

Kind regards.

Part 5, 1:08 (Texas UFO) about 2 ladies (Betty Cash and her friend) and a boy who witnessed an UFO over the road they were traveling in near Houston Tx. and later became very ill by the radiations poisoning they received from that craft. Air Force and the govt. have turn the cold shoulder to them which is very disgraceful! This happened in 1980.

So, Lance, Their Minds Were "Clouded"?

Hi all:

Please an honest opinion re Lance Moody's cloud explanation of this 1953 Kelly [Lockheed] Johnson UFO case. Lance will be on the Paracast this Sunday. Is he a skeptic who makes honest and correct observations re a UFO case after studying its relevant details or is he just a debunker eager to explain away all sightings as misinterpretations or hoaxes?

Kind regards.

The Lockheed UFO Case Revisited

The 1953 Lockheed UFO case has become a favorite among UFO enthusiasts. The case was unknown for decades, hidden in the files of Project Blue Book, but has gained many fans since being championed by several prominent UFO researchers. Canadian filmmaker, Paul Kimball, featured it in his oft-cited documentary, Best Evidence: Top 10 UFO Sightings (it was number five). UFO researchers often refer to the case as a solid example of an unexplainable UFO experience.

A refreshing aspect of the Lockheed case is that it hasn't been tainted by dubious interviews decades after the event, like the supposed Roswell Incident, for instance. Virtually everything known about the sighting is contained in the Air Force's Project Blue Book file. The entirety of the evidence consists of only 8 pages of testimony from the actual witnesses. But as we will see, UFO believers can still manage to obscure and confuse things, even when the evidence is so easily digested.

A quick note: I painstakingly created and maintain a facsimile transcript of the sometimes hard-to-read Blue Book microfilms and I encourage interested readers to take a look at the evidence for themselves. I also welcome corrections to my transcript.

The Case

The main witness in the Lockheed case was someone intimately familiar with unusual things in the sky, having himself created some legendary and near-mythical aircraft.

As chief engineer for Lockheed, Clarence “Kelly” Johnson designed cutting-edge aircraft like the U-2 spy plane and SR-71 Blackbird. He was also influential in the creation of the SkunkWorks, the secret projects division of Lockheed. Johnson certainly qualifies as one of the most famous of UFO witnesses.

On the late afternoon of December 16th, 1953, Johnson, noticed a dark object in the sky to the west of his ranch near Agoura, California. The object was a long thin distinct black ellipse with no visible detail. Johnson viewed it for a couple of minutes as it seemed to stand motionless against the brilliant sunset sky. He then sensed that the object was moving directly away as it got smaller and smaller and, after about 90 seconds, disappeared.

If that was the only thing that happened, this surely would have been a rather forgettable sighting.

Johnson wrote his personal account of the event the next day and, over the next month, four of the five men in the plane also wrote their own accounts (Grugan did not file one). Despite some reluctance by Johnson, fearing how flying saucer stories might affect his reputation, these accounts were forwarded to the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright Patterson Air Force Base and eventually ended up in the Blue Book files.

The Blue Book Conclusion: Lenticular Cloud

We don't know what the Air Force did with the case. We don't know if a full-fledged investigation followed or if the entire thing was ignored. All we have is their terse unadorned conclusion as to what caused the sighting: a lenticular cloud.

UFO proponents hate this. For them, this conclusion besmirches the name and talents of Johnson and his team. Paul Kimball, in a recent interview, said, "If these guys, the top test pilots and aerodynamic engineers and flight designers of their time, would mistake a lenticular cloud for a structured aircraft or object of some sort, no reasonable or responsible military would continue to employ these guys...the military gave a bogus explanation." Another UFO site calls the Air Force conclusion a "rubber stamp explanation".

My knowledge of lenticular clouds was limited, I don't think I have ever seen one in the sky but I have seen many photos of lenticulars, usually in UFO books. Most UFO authorities agree that lenticular clouds do sometimes cause UFO reports. But since lenticular formations are relatively rare, these mistaken reports must also be pretty rare. And anyway, the photos I had seen of this type of cloud didn't really seem to have much in common with the Lockheed testimony. So I agreed that the cloud explanation seemed unlikely, especially after seeing the Best Evidence presentation of the case, which was faithfully parroted by other UFO web sites.

I decided to delve into the actual evidence, the testimony of the men, and found a disturbing trend. In the video, it was obvious that the evidence was being looked at from one particular perspective, a pro-UFO one, and evidence that didn't tend to lead to a UFO conclusion was often being ignored or misinterpreted.

Here's a few of the things I object to in this account:

The white shaded area defines where the object might have been according to Johnson's testimony. The green and blue lines enclose the area in which the plane may have been. The red shaded area is where the plane was when the object was first sighted. Image Created by Stray Cat at JREF Forums

1. The film uses a sort of faux-science to suggest that the location of the object can be accurately "triangulated" by using the known location of Johnson at his ranch and the location of the plane. In reality, the testimony does not allow us to know precisely where the plane was, much less its vector to the dark object. The graphic at right shows the true story of what we can determine from the evidence about the location of the object and plane. This is not really a major point but it does show how UFO researchers pretend to have some degree of precision in order to bolster their authority.

2. The film takes the words of the witnesses literally, when the meaning may have been figurative. For instance, several of the witnesses describe the object as looking like a flying wing headed straight at them, which could reasonably be interpreted as a featureless ellipse, much like Johnson described. Indeed all of the witnesses agree that they could discern no details in the black shape. Notice how the video takes this description and runs with it, clearly showing a flying wing-type aircraft. But now it isn't flying straight at us: we see it in the video from a low-angle. The object stops looking like a flying wing and actually becomes a flying wing with details that none of the witnesses ever reported.

3. One of the most obvious examples of how the video goes for maximum ooga-booga instead of truth is demonstrated in the descriptions of the "departure" of the object and how long that event lasted. Here is how the actual witnesses estimated that time:

"In 90 seconds from the time it started to move, the object had completely disappeared." -Johnson

"In the space of about one minute it grew smaller and disappeared." -Wimmer

"In probably an elapsed time of somewhere around a minute, the object had reduced in size to a mere speck and disappeared." -Thoren

"In just a minute or two it completely disappeared" -Ware

So far so good. The men all seem in agreement of the basic time it took for the object to disappear. Wimmer and Johnson both viewed the object almost continuously so their estimates are probably the most important ones. But now we come to one last estimate:

"...in a time, in the order of 10 seconds, [the object] disappeared from view." -Colman

Can you guess which estimate was used in the film and presented as absolutely precise and enabling them create to all sorts of other amazing figures like 130G acceleration? That's right. They chose the ten second figure! This is UFO science at its most impressive!

A Solution?

One thing that did strike me as I read the accounts is that these men weren't trying to fabricate anything. They seem to be honestly attempting to report what they saw without embellishment.

One of their first guesses as to the nature of the object was that it was a cloud.

"Thinking it was a lenticular cloud, I continued to study it." -Johnson

"I saw what I thought was a small cloud." -Wimmer

After viewing it for a while, they all decided that it couldn't be a cloud, mainly because its edges were too distinct. Indeed most of the images I have seen of lenticular clouds still look more or less like clouds. So I was fairly amenable to abandoning the lenticular explanation.

But then I came across this startling photo:

Photo Courtesy Mark Meyer Photography (photo-mark.com)

Johnson's own drawing of the object.

This photo, taken in Wyoming, shows a very compact lenticular cloud much more like what the men described seeing in 1953. Of course, this is still clearly a cloud. But I began to wonder what this cloud might have looked like from much further away. In the photo above, either the cloud is very large or the camera is very close to it. It fills a good portion of our visual field. This was not the case for the Lockheed witnesses. Johnson doesn't say how large the object was in the sky but he strongly implies that it was rather small, comparing it to an aircraft flying near Point Mugu, some 30 miles away. From my work in visual effects, I know that taking an object with fuzzy edges like a cloud and making it smaller causes the edges to become more distinct. So I decided to simulate what the same cloud might have looked like from much further away. This is not a real photo; it was created as a demonstration using Photoshop (click on the image for a larger view):

This photo has been manipulated in Photoshop for demonstration purposes only.

This is much more like what the men described. The edges of this cloud are now so distinct that it loses it's cloud properties and just becomes a dark object with no discernible detail. In other words, it looks exactly like what was being described by the Lockheed staff. And note that I used the entire real cloud to make this image, including the wispy tail on the left. But details like the tail disappear as you get further away (here simulated by making the cloud smaller). Another detail that vastly improves the illusion of a solid object is the silhouette effect caused by the brilliant sunset, exactly the same conditions during the Lockheed sighting

"...the sun had gone down below the horizon but the sky was red and this object was perfectly silhouetted against this red background." -Thoren

So now I began to think that there could be something to the cloud idea but there were still some issues to consider. Other than its distinctness, what else convinced the men that they weren't seeing a cloud?

Well, there isn't much. Johnson says that the fact that it didn't move was one factor. This may show that Johnson wasn't really very familiar with lenticulars, which very often hang in the sky held motionless by two opposing air masses until they dissipate.

Sequence courtesy Donald Collins

Of course, one other part of the account must be addressed: the departure. As I looked at videos of lenticular clouds dissipating, I noticed how, as the clouds got smaller, there was sometimes the impression that they were moving away. Here is an imperfect demonstration of this principle. I realize that these clouds don't look that much like saucers but hopefully you can get a feeling for the illusion of motion.

This is part of my working theory of the case: that the departure was actually the dissipation of the cloud.

The way that the witnesses described the departure certainly fits in with this theory:

"the object had reduced in size to a mere speck, and then disappeared." -Thoren

"I suddenly realized it was moving away from us heading straight west. In the space of about one minute it grew smaller and disappeared." -Wimmer

"When I got the glasses focused on the object, it was already moving behind the first layer of haze. I gathered its speed was very high, because of the rate of fore-shortening of its major axis." -Johnson

Johnson also reported that the object took a long shallow climb (this was not reported by the men in the plane, interestingly). I am suggesting that this apparent climb is also caused by the dispersing cloud as the top or bottom disappeared unevenly.

One nagging issue for me was that I honestly had no idea how long it would take for a cloud to dissapate. The theory requires it to be around a minute. I started work on writing this article without knowing the answer to this question but I knew that this one issue could invalidate the whole idea.

Some Additional Info

Earlier this year, Tim Printy, publisher of the skeptical UFO newsletter (SUNlite) pointed out a thread at the JREF forums discussing this case and I was happy to see that several folks there had independently seized upon this same scenario. The thread generated much helpful data, including some evidence from UK forecaster, Nigel Bolton, that the December 16th, 1953 weather conditions were ripe for the formation of lenticular clouds.

Just a few days ago I found some amazing lenticular cloud videos on YouTube that were shot right near the same locations of the Lockheed case. Here's one taken in Santa Clarita, looking to the west towards Santa Barbara:

I spoke with Chris, who shot these clouds (and many more, check out his site) and shared the theory with him. I was delighted with his reply:

Indeed your theory is quite likely. Lenticulars can form in a nearly limitless variety of sizes and shapes. When you add variations in lighting (sun angles, etc.) and point of view, many visual effects are possible.

A cloud which is forming or dissipating more-or-less overhead would be difficult to mistake for solid object moving towards or away from the viewer. However, when Lenticulars are at a distance, they would be much closer to the horizon and viewed on edge. A well-formed saucer-shaped cloud could look quite solid, especially with help from a setting sun. Any change in size could be interpreted as movement closer or further away from the viewer. Since Lenticulars do change size, shape and position depending upon the direction, speed, temperature and humidity of the airflow which they are forming, they may also appear to be moving left or right.

The speed at which they form and dissipate can be quite rapid... A huge cloud may take only 20 minutes to appear or completely disappear. Smaller ones only a minute or two.. I have watched (and less often filmed) areas of Lenticular activity in which smaller, saucer-shaped formations seem to pop in and out at random as the air currents shift around. I’ve missed many a shot because the cloud vanished before I could get my camera set up.

Having this opinion from someone who is intimately familiar with lenticular clouds certainly strengthens the theory.

Final Thoughts

I hope the reader doesn't feel that I am suggesting that these witnesses were ignoramuses. I'm not. I think all of the witnesses did an incredible job of reporting the facts as best they could. The theory above postulates that several factors came together that did fool the witnesses:

1. Compact lenticular cloud.

2. Silhouetted against brilliant red sunset.

3. Seen from enough distance that the edges bcame totally smooth.

In short, I am suggesting that nature conspired to create a sort of illusion that fooled these observers.

It should also be noted that this theory is not presented as the final word on this case. I am delighted to hear confirming or disconfirming information.

Please feel free to share your own comments below.

I want to thank Tim Printy, Mark Meyer, Don Ecsedy, Donald Collins, Frank Stalter, Michael Allen, Chris@DCM and the gang at the JREF forums, particularly Stray Cat, 23_Tauri, Akhenaten, GeeMack, Puddle Duck, TJW, TomTomkent and ufology and also my wife for their help in preparing this article. This article was slightly revised on 3/23, hopefully slightly improving the tone.

Frank, Wanna Play A Game Of Darts?

http://phys.org/news/2012-12-alien-civilizations.html

At last, how many alien civilizations are there?

During the space age, 1961 was a special year: the Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first man to orbit Earth, while the American astronomer Frank Drake developed the now famous Drake Equation. This equation estimates the number of detectable extraterrestrial civilizations in our Milky Way galaxy, supposing our present electromagnetic detection methods. The Drake equation states:

N = N_s x f_p x n_e x f_l x f_i x f_c x f_L

N = number of alien civilizations in the Milky Way
N_s = estimated number of stars in the Milky Way;
f_p = fraction or percentage of these stars with planets on its orbits;
n_e = average number of these planets with potential to host life as we know it;
f_l = percentage of these planets that actually develop life;
f_i = percentage of these planets that actually develop intelligence on human level;
f_c = percentage of these civilizations that actually develop electromagnetic radiation emitting technologies;
f_L = percentage of these civilizations that keep emitting electromagnetic signals to space. This factor is extremely dependent on the lifetime a civilization remains electromagnetic communicative.

Looking to the Drake equation factors, it is obvious that none can be precisely determined by modern science. More than that, as we move from the left to right in the equation, estimating each factor becomes more controversial. The later terms are highly speculative, and the values one may attribute to each of them might tell more about a person's beliefs than about scientific facts.

At last, how many alien civilizations are there?

But the Drake equation must not be evaluated only by the numerical values it produces. Some say the Drake equation is a way to organize our ignorance. By exposing the extraterrestrial intelligence hypothesis mathematically, we limit the real possibilities to each term and approach the final answer: how many alien civilizations are there?

The L term is considered the most important one in Drake equation. We have no idea how long a technological civilization can last. Even if only one extraterrestrial civilization lasts for billions of years, or becomes immortal, the L factor would be enough to reduce Drake's equation to N = L. Actually, Frank Drake recognizes this in his license plate: " NEQLSL "

Among dozens of papers written about the Drake Equation, some have suggested new considerations for the formula. One such paper stands out for adding well-established probabilistic principles from statistics. In 2010, the Italian astronomer Claudio Maccone published in the journal Acta Astronautica the Statistical Drake Equation (SDE). It is mathematically more complex and robust than the Classical Drake Equation (CDE).

The SDE is based on the Central Limit Theorem, which states that given the enough number of independent random variables with finite mean and variance, those variables will be normally distributed as represented by a Gaussian or bell curve in a plot. In this way, each of the seven factors of the Drake Equation become independent positive random variables. In his paper, Maccone tested his SDE using values usually accepted by the SETI community, and the results may be good news for the "alien hunters".

Although the numerical results were not his objective, Maccone estimated with his SDE that our galaxy may harbor 4,590 extraterrestrial civilizations. Assuming the same values for each term the Classical Drake Equation estimates only 3,500. So the SDE adds more than 1,000 civilizations to the previous estimate.

Another SDE advantage is to incorporate the standard variation concept, which shows how much variation exists from the average value. In this case the standard variation concept is pretty high: 11,195. In other words, besides human society, zero to 15,785 advanced technological societies could exist in the Milky Way.

If those galactic societies were equally spaced, they could be at an average distance of 28,845 light-years apart. That's too far to have a dialogue with them, even through electromagnetic radiation traveling in the speed of light. So, even with such a potentially high number of advanced civilizations, interstellar communication would still be a major technological challenge.

Still, according to SDE, the average distance we should expect to find any alien intelligent life form may be 2,670 light-years from Earth. There is a 75% chance we could find ET between 1,361 and 3,979 light-years away.

500 light-years away, the chance of detecting any signal from an advanced civilization approaches zero. And that is exactly the range in which our present technology is searching for extraterrestrial radio signals. So, the "Great Silence" detected by our radio telescopes is not discouraging at all. Our signals just need to travel a little farther – at least 900 light years more – before they have a high chance of coming across an advanced alien civilization.

In special reports, this week’s files cover: Is December 21, 2012: The Day the World Ends? Geminid Meteor Shower, Russian Prime Minister Confirms Aliens Are Here, Mars Caverns, Mounting Evidence of Space Aliens among Us, and Cyber Warfare.

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Texas.

Sightings of UFOs were also reported in: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chili, Norway, Palau, South Africa, and England in the United Kingdom.

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

I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO's are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Special Reports

Is December 21, 2012: The Day the World Ends?

Does the Mayan calendar prove that the world will end this year? Will there be a third world war as Nostradamus predicted? It is my conclusion that the end of the world is not near and I will be attending Patty Blackwell’s Party to celebrate on December 21, 2012. There could be earthquakes or temporary blackouts but the world will continue.

Interpretation of ancient Maya calendars has made some believe the world will end on December 21, so you can spend big for Christmas but celebrate early. Other Mayan Calendars have been found that are much older, so even some Mayans thought our world would not end.

There are several ways the world is supposed to come to an end in 2012. Nibiru is supposed to sideswipe Earth, but my telescope and binoculars I haven’t picked up any major object coming this way. Astronomers claim we would have seen anything the size of a planet headed our way a long time ago. We did discover some dwarf planets further away than Pluto, which is 40 times more distant from the sun than Earth. Don’t worry about the Earth’s magnetic poles flipping like a pancake and causing earthquakes everywhere. Most of the movement of the magnetic poles has been around the Arctic Circle, and now we use gyros and satellites for navigation rather than the magnetic compass.

NASA is predicting that the Suns regular “solar max” cycle of sun spot activity about every eleven years is predicted to be a relatively mild one in 2013. NASA sends out “space weather” warnings of solar storms, and the sun might send out an unusually strong solar flare but the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration sends warnings to electric utilities and satellite owners. Worst case scenario is we might lose electrical power and some satellites.

Asteroids may be the greatest threat to wipe out the Earth, like the one that hit the Yucatan and wiped out the dinosaurs. Astronomers say there are no impending meteorites being tracked to create the demise of Earth. NASA estimates there are 4,700 asteroids at least 330 feet wide within Earth’s 5-million-mile neighborhood that could destroy a city, but not our whole planet even if we fail to divert it. We will likely be hit by a catastrophic asteroid at some point, although our technology is rapidly increasing. Ben Rich the Director of the Lockheed Skunkworks said, “We now have the ability to take ET home.” This ability would likely be able to deflect an asteroid from hitting Earth. ET has shown their interest in saving the Earth as well, and is also watching and willing to help. We would likely have years of warning, and we know how we could deflect one. The Earth is entering a more dangerous section of space, but even the Earth is hit it would likely be by a small meteorite that slips through our defenses. Last week’s files mentioned we have spaceships with weapons orbiting Earth that could likely pulverize most of the dangerous meteorites.

As far as World War III, the Russians are much weaker than they have been in the past and seem to be backing off their strong support for the Syria’s Bashar al-Assad's regime. Although our tribal wars will continue worldwide nuclear destruction is not likely.

The most immediate danger are earthquake like the one that shook north eastern Japan on December 7, 2012, triggering a one-metre tsunami in an area devastated by last year's Fukushima disaster. The quake shook buildings as far Tokyo and led to the warnings being issued for coastal areas. The U.S. Geological Survey announced the earthquake had a magnitude of 7.3. The tsunami warning was issued for the coast of Miyagi Prefecture, which was hit by a devastating earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011. That quake triggered fuel-rod meltdowns at the Fukushima nuclear plant, causing radiation leakage, contamination of food and water and mass evacuations in the world's worst nuclear crisis. Radiation from the fuel rods still represents some of the greatest threats to life on the planet. Under water they are comparatively safe, but exposed the radiation could be devastating. Workers at the plant were ordered to move to higher ground, but after Friday's quake Tokyo Electric Power Co, the operator of the Fukushima nuclear plant, reported no irregularities at its nuclear plants. ET has warned repeatedly against nuclear power and weapons.

The Bible that has been the best predictor of the future for hundreds of years; says this about the end times: “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven” (Mark 13:32). But there’s one thing we do know – that whether the world ends tomorrow or a million years from now, your body will die someday. Your soul, on the other hand, will live forever.

Will you spend eternity with God, or in a constant state of suffering and anguish?

All you have to do is accept God’s free gift of salvation so don’t live in fear, check into the promises of eternity in heaven. My brother saw a glimpse of heaven when he died for some twenty minutes. More people are coming forward with miraculous stories of life after death. Even Extraterrestrials have claimed there is a God and afterlife.

Expect more earthquakes and tsunamis. Warming temperatures will likely create more hurricanes and tornados, so enjoy being with your love ones this Christmas.

Chile Alien Encounter

EL TABO -- The witness, 27 year old Paulina was sleeping in her bedroom which she shared with her younger sister when suddenly in the middle of the night she was awakened by a powerful whitish light that entered the bedroom through the door in February 2011.

She became totally paralyzed and is unable to move. She was now wide awake and could only move her eyes. She now watched in horror as three very tall humanoid figures with thin bodies and whose heads scraped the ceiling began to approach the bed where she and her sister slept.

One of the beings gently touched the witness’s forehead. At that same moment the witness remembers seeing a bright light and heard a sound resembling a popping balloon and suddenly lost all her memory. The next day she heard neighbors talking about sighting a luminous object that was seen hovering low above the trees nearby. She said that the beings exuded a strange ‘beauty’ and caused her to calm down. Their bodies were covered in a tight-fitting dark garment which was almost skin-like, without any seams or zippers. Their eyes were somewhat larger than that of humans and their heads were completely hairless. Thanks to Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org

December 13-14: Thursday and Friday Geminid Meteor Shower

The Geminid meteor shower is now considered as the top entertaining show surpassing in brilliance and reliability even the August Perseids. Bundle warmly against the winter chill; you can start observing in dark skies on the evening of December 13 as Gemini starts coming up above the eastern horizon. Around 2 AM, when Gemini is almost directly overhead, you might see as many as two meteor sightings per minute or a 120 per hour!

Russian Prime Minister Confirms Aliens Are Here

Dmitri Medvedev, the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation comment confirms aliens are here. He previously served as the third President of Russia from 2008 to 2012. After the recording of a television program, he did not realize that his microphone was still open and stated: “I believe in Santa Claus, but not too much,” Medvedev began, but then continued: “Aliens, I cannot tell you how many of them are among us at this time, otherwise it would trigger panic.”

Note: Some people think he was joking, but others feel it was a true statement.

Mars Caverns

Possible caverns have been recently identified on Mars, and their existence has caught much scientific and public attention because of their potential as exobiological habitats. Their age and dimensions remain uncertain. The discovery of vast caverns that existed in ancient periods of Asteroids and comets colliding with Mars fractured its crust given water on the surface a way to penetrate deep in the ground, where it may remain today. Mars had an ancient ocean that due to fracturing likely went underground.

An international research team led by the Planetary Science Institute (PSI) has found evidence that about two billion years ago enormous volumes of catastrophic flood discharges may have been captured by extensive systems of caverns on Mars, said PSI research scientist J. Alexis Rodriguez. His research team came to this conclusion after studying the Hebrus Valles outflow channel that extends 250 kilometers downstream from two zones of surface collapse. The Martian outflow channels comprise some of the largest known channels in the solar system.

“Although it has been proposed their discharge history may have once led to the formation of oceans, the ultimate fate and nature of the fluid discharges has remained a mystery for more than 40 years, and their excavation has been attributed to surface erosion by glaciers, debris flows, catastrophic floodwaters, and perhaps even lava flows,” Rodriguez said.

The PSI-led team's work documents the geomorphology of Hebrus Valles, a Martian terrain that is unique in that it preserves pristine landforms located at the terminal reaches of a Martian outflow channel. Rodriguez proposes in an article published in Geophysical Research Letters states large volumes of catastrophic floodwaters, which participated in the excavation of Hebrus Valles, may have encountered their ultimate fate in vast cavernous systems. They hypothesize that evacuated subsurface space during mud volcanism was an important process in cavern development.

In 2011, huge caves were discovered near the Ascraeus Mons volcano, first imaged the two deep pits—which are about 590 feet (180 meters) and 1,017 feet (310 meters), using the THEMIS infrared camera.

"When compared to the surrounding surface, the dark interiors of the holes gave off heat at night but were cool by day," said Alfred McEwen, principal investigator on the HiRISE camera. "

For more information: www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/2012/2012GL053225.shtml

Note: Vast cavernous systems on Mars are ideal for bases and infrared images show a pattern of structures that could represent Martian bases or cities.

Mounting Evidence of Space Aliens among Us

A few days ago, a Memphis woman reported she was sure she had just had an encounter with an alien/human hybrid baby at Cosco's in Cordova, Tennessee. She and her granddaughter walked through the entrance and saw a tall Asian-looking man, who was in a big hurry and almost ran into them. He wore all black clothing and had a Caucasian-looking infant in a carrier basket strapped in front of him. He seemed to take no notice of them as he marched past them without one word of apology. An Asian man who was over six feet tall is unusual, but the racial contradiction between himself and his infant companion startled her.

She didn't get a good look at the baby but they proceeded back to the bakery. She spotted this Asian fellow rapidly taking a quick right-angle turn and without any groceries. Just as the lady and her granddaughter were approaching the front of the store to leave, the Asian man suddenly walked by them again and the witness got a good look at the baby. This woman swears to me that this infant had intensely bright blue eyes with no white area surrounding them! All blue-eyed people are being seen all over now in different parts of the country, adults as well as children.

Top alien abduction researcher Dr. David Jacobs of Temple University is convinced that the alien hybridization program is alarmingly evident in our society now. I know this lady who reported seeing the all blue-eyed baby in Memphis just the other day. Perhaps this can be explained as a weird new mutation showing up in the human eye at this time...or maybe "they" now walk among us.

The Native American Medicine woman Three-Spirit Wolf told us that she had met some of the hybrids out in New Mexico who were wearing dark sunglasses. One of them removed his glasses to reveal his utterly eerie-looking all-blue eyes without the white. He asked her if people had commented to her about seeing him or his hybrid companions. Apparently they are trying to be as inconspicuous as possible.

Cyber Warfare

The facts are that the Chinese are most likely ahead of the United States in Cyber Warfare military capabilities. Cyber warfare refers to politically motivated hacking to conduct sabotage and espionage. U.S. government security expert Richard A. Clarke, in his book ‘Cyber War’, defines "cyber warfare" as "actions by a nation-state to penetrate another nation's computers or networks for the purposes of causing damage or disruption."^: Chinese Chengdu J-20

Gary McKinnon who hacked into NASA and the Pentagon warned that Chinese Hackers were everywhere stealing many US secrets. Advanced Persistent Threat is the favored term for China-based cyber espionage. We spend billions on research and a hacker can copy the discoveries for virtually nothing. The information is used for building their own new fighters with a few of their own improvements. The Chinese espionage and data collection is apparently very successful given the rapid development of the Chengdu J-20 and Shenyang J-31 stealth fighter (shown here), which bear a close resemblance to the F-35 and the F-22.

Additionally, the newest fighters like automobiles are dependent on sophisticated computer systems and software that are susceptible to cyber warfare. Chinese fighters may in fact be superior to the U.S. fighters because they are of later design.

The F-35 program suffered a large cyber intrusion several years ago where loads of data about the aircraft were stolen from the contractors working on it -- an incident that may have contributed to redesigns that have helped drive up costs and delay the fielding of the F-35.

China stole the technology used in their designs from the US, but then again how stupid are we to allow such national secrets to be pilfered over the internet? And if the very essence of a design can be stolen so easily, than how can we assure these same systems are not vulnerable to electronic and cyber attack once operational?

I once had a conversation with Igor I. Sikorsky a pioneer of aviation who designed and flew the world's first multi-engine fixed wing aircraft, the Russky Vityaz in 1913, and the first airliner, Ilya Muromets, in 1914. After emigrating to the United States in 1919, Sikorsky founded the Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation and developed the first ocean-conquering flying boats and in 1939 Sikorsky designed and flew the Vought-Sikorsky VS-300, the first viable helicopter. He told me, “Whoever builds the latest version of an aircraft will generally have the best, because most advancements can be copied.”

Russia and China are fielding F-35 and F-22 equivalents and it won't be too long before they will build large numbers of them. The F-22 and F-35 are attractive targets for cyber warfare and the uncertainty surrounding the extent of the threat is a deterrent in itself: The overwhelming fear is that cyber intrusions will cause operational problems. Another concern is that technological capabilities may have been compromised—but in ways that are invisible until combat begins. The Chinese are very clever and if they would chose to defeat U.S. aircraft the oxygen systems provide an ideal target. Since 2010, the F-22 has been plagued by unresolved problems with its pilot oxygen systems, which contributed to one crash and death of a pilot. In 2011 the fleet was grounded for four months before resuming flight operations, but reports of oxygen systems issues have continued. In July 2012, the Air Force announced that the hypoxia-like symptoms experienced were caused by a faulty valve in the pilots' pressure vest; the valve was replaced and changes to the filtration system were also made. CBS Sixty Minutes revealed some of the problems; and pilots were refusing to fly the aircraft.

On 16 November 2010, an F-22 (shown right) based at Elmendorf, Alaska, crashed killing Captain Jeffrey Haney. The F-22 fleet was restricted to flying below 25,000 feet, before being grounded completely. The accident has been attributed to a malfunction in the bleed air system that shut down the aircraft's Environmental Control System (ECS) and On-Board Oxygen Generating System (OBOGS). The OBOGS, which is fed by engine bleed air, was apparently shut down automatically in response to an engine overheat condition detected by the main computer. The pilot's widow successfully sued, claiming the aircraft has defective equipment. A fifth U.S. Air Force F-22 fighter crashed on November 15th in Florida during a training flight and the pilot safely ejected.

U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Christopher Bogdan, deputy leader of the F-35 program, noted in the course of his harsh September review of the project's status that the Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS)—which combines logistics, mission planning and many other functions, and without which the F-35 cannot be operated—had gone through a development pause and redesign because of “vulnerabilities” discovered in a security review. However, ALIS includes a colossal amount of sensitive information, including details of the performance of stealth systems on each individual aircraft, mission plans and locations. It has important elements that operate over Wi-Fi links and that communicate over the public Internet, and it (ultimately) will have thousands of access points open to tens of thousands of users and potential hackers. Apparently, “The Department of Defense is fully aware of cyber threats and is taking specific action to counter them.”

Those users, increasingly, are the focus of cyber defense efforts. Systems remain vulnerable to ever changing types of malware disguised as an attachment to an apparently innocent email.

The threat continues to evolve, notes Craig Jensen, with Dynamics Research Corp. (DRC) who directs security efforts on behalf of the Homeland Security Department states, “The attack surface is expanding ever faster with the number of mobile devices connected to the Internet, while new threats are emerging. A search engine called Shodan, which can look for unprotected devices, has emerged.” Thanks to Aviation Week & Space Technology.

Sightings of UFOs in the United States

Alabama Orb

Double Springs -- My wife and I were on the deck watching when she noticed a "plane" moving slower than the rest. She asked, “Why didn’t it have any lights on it.” It made a very lazy "S" turn to the NE. A small airplane was approaching from the NE at the same time and we noticed it turned further to the west. I grabbed my DVR camera and recorded until it hovered and then drifted south. We could see it pulsating visually; but couldn’t locate it in the viewfinder! The sighting lasted for one minute 25 seconds. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Alaska UFO Witnessed by Passengers on Flight from Washington

I was on a commercial flight from sea-tac airport Washington to Anchorage on November 11, 1966 on a clear day, when the pilot blurted over the intercom these exact words. I can still hear him after 50 years say, “Ladies and gentleman, if you look over the right wing towards the horizon you will see a hah, oh hell I don't know what it is.”

With that message mostly everyone on the plane took turns looking out the windows at the UFO. I was standing next to two stewardesses who said, ‘That’s not a weather balloon, it’s a silver dome shaped craft with a flat bottom with windows around the bottom.” When we arrived at Anchorage, the captain, over the intercom stated there was no known aircraft in the area at the time of our sighting.

I was watching a UFO show on tv when Captain Terauchi the pilot of a Japanese crew of a jumbo 747 freighter aircraft witnessed three unidentified objects while flying over Alaska in November, 1986,. This sighting gained international attention when the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced that it was going to officially investigate this sighting because the UFO had been detected on radar. Captain Terauchi was featured on numerous radio and TV programs. Within a few months he was grounded, apparently for his indiscretion of reporting a UFO, even though he was a senior captain with an excellent flying record. Several years later he was reinstated. This Japanese pilot was in the same area where we had our sighting and held up his drawing of the UFO that was exactly the same as ours. NOTE: The above image is a rendering.

Arizona Saucer and Lights

BUCKEYE – On November 17, 2012, my wife came running "You have to see this." I ran to our deck to see a pearl like staggered trail of ascending 20+ bright yellow orange orbs over the White Tank Mountains. As they climbed they increased speed, turned north and sped off disappearing. I got off a couple of shots. I waited to tell the story, because without pictures it’s just my word.

On December 3, 2012, I was at our gym with my neighbor and we drove home about 8:45 pm, I saw a silver saucer craft in the sky and said to my neighbor, “What in the hell is that?” But it was gone before he got to see the craft. Thanks to MUFON CMS

California Sightings

WEED -- I didn’t notice the objects until recently when I was going thru some pictures going back to September 19, 1981. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Joshua Tree Valley -- I was sitting in the backyard of a friend’s house on September 17, 2011, around 9:52 PM. Four of us were talking when I noticed a light come into view from the bottom of this valley flying east. I didn’t know what it was at first. Then I jumped to my feet and exclaimed, “Look, here we go!”

The others saw the object as I pointed to it. The silent object at first had a glowing flame like aura around a white center. When it got in front of us, it was a bright white circular disk. Two of us took pictures. When it reached 3/4 across the valley it turned northeast flying at 35 mph and disappeared over 29 Palms Marine Base. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Florida Lights

Panama City --– On the evening of December 4, 2012 at 6 PM, I went outside with my dog and saw several orange and blue lights. They were almost motionless drifting a little upwards. The orange lights were big, five times as bright as the brightest star. The blue lights were small and were hovering and lasted for a few minutes and disappeared.

I did research to see if there was a Chinese lantern event happening but did not find any. I took two pictures with my cell phone. A minute later, F-22′s from Tyndall Air Force Base flew into them but the lights quickly disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Illinois Pattern of Diamond

Peoria -- Shortly after I stepped outside, I observed six orange or red round objects in the sky to the north of our apartment on November 17, 2012, about 11 PM. My wife took our dog out to observe the objects in a diamond shape pattern over the intersection of Allen and Willow Knolls Roads. At first, I thought the pattern looked like a fireworks, but I heard no noise. I pointed the objects out to my wife and she tried to take video. Unfortunately, upon review of the video, the objects were not visible. We saw others in a car, which probably saw them.

Some of the objects faded away but new orange round objects rising up from the ground in the same area. While they were ascending making patterns they hovered somewhat similar to helicopters. The rising objects then joined the other objects before they also vanished at 11:05 PM. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Indiana Multiple Sightings

BLANFORD – Richard Bondira has been photographing UFOs on clear nights since January 2012. He sent me dozens of photographs of UFO that he has filmed over the last six months. Sightings are continuing in October and November. As many as ten or more UFOs can be seen on some nights. They mostly hover but can be seen maneuvering, spin around, or go straight up. They usually come from the southeast heading northwest. Thanks to Richard Bondira

Hyderabad -- Just saw a triangular ball of yellow light in the sky moving at a speed faster than a plane on December 9, 2012. The shape of the light was not exactly triangular, but appeared to be so. The light glowed and did not blink as I took pictures with my camera. The silent object appears to change shape near a tree, so this is not a hoax. This is my third sighting this year! First two were at Pune. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Jersey Objects Takeoff

CLAYTON – Five objects were observed taking off three kilometers away on November 16, 2012. Video recording of the objects were taken by two different cell phones. My two videos are 2-3 minutes long. The objects did not all follow the same flight path but the accurate distance could not be determined due to their unknown size. I am a military contract and Army veteran and have deployed five times to the Middle East, when I saw the lights they appeared odd and that is what caught my interest. Visual contact was lost when the objects dimmed. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New York Orbs

LONG ISLAND SOUND -- I have seen UFO’s before in my life and even had a large craft hover right over my head. That sighting changed my life. This one was also remarkable and has become carved clearly into my brain in December 2012 as something I will never forget.

Three large orbs flew above my family in a V formation as they actually glided as if on ice in a smooth flawless movement unlike a plane, balloon or Chinese lantern. The Orbs changed their position from a V formation to a straight line. They made a hard left turn without changing speed and headed south. The three pure white Orbs were like the new LED Christmas lights glistening like diamonds. It took 30 seconds for the three Orbs to pass above us and turn towards the Atlantic Ocean. We spotted a bigger Orb gliding faster towards the first three.

NOTE: The above image is a rendering. This event was witnessed by writer Chris Holly of Ufo Digest. Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org

South Carolina Orbs

North Myrtle Beach -- We watched many orbs turn into many formations and the military has cleared my airspace for the day and night and I know why! Stop chasing these things with fighter jets continuously over my neighborhood! This is a residential area and we are tired of jets screaming past our house after these crafts! Go practice over the ocean; it’s unsafe, and unethical to do such matters over a major tourist destination, I have been recording all this for six months, I know the air force has no reason to be training exercises continuously over my house.

I’m upset and demand a valid logical explanation why our military would be putting my family in danger. My wife and kids are afraid to leave the house. I have video of it all! Don’t drop waste on my housing area. I have hours of footage and I see and record objects, orbs, and orb triangles. I have seen craft for six months. Thanks to J.F.Kiernan

Tennessee Lights

Manchester -- I was inside gaming and had all the windows closed on December 5, 2012 when I noticed a loud roaring type sou nd outside. When I decided to look around I saw stars and a big bright object the size of Venus cycling through every color.

A small white star like object shot out of it a couple of times. In my Nikon camera 30 minute video you can hear the loud sounds and see it change shape, hover and move. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Texas Photo of a Plane Avoiding a Ufo

HOUSTON – While driving back home, I was listening to the radio on November 28, 2012, a bright sunny day. I spotted an airplane high above leaving a contrail behind it. It was kind of impossible not stare at the contrails in front of me. While driving and looking up, I saw a bright round circle right where the airplane was going. The plane started making a turn to avoid whatever that circle was. The circle was moving like it was dancing. I thought nobody was going to believe what I was seeing so I grabbed my phone and took three pictures. I stop my car at a red light as the bright circle shined and disappeared. This picture is 100% real with no editing Thanks to Irwin O Valencia for this sighting report. Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org

Worldwide Sightings

Australia Whitish Streak

Bilambil Heights – I’m interested in the clouds and on that morning I decided to take some photos with my Canon EOS 500D digital cameras on November 28, 2012. From my backyard I took five quick photos from left to right over five to ten seconds. I had a quick look in the camera view finder, but saw nothing strange. Next day, I downloaded onto my laptop and noticed small white streak, upper right had side of image on second photo that moved in all remaining images from right to left.

One image shows a whitish straight streak with five light spots/dots evenly spaced along the streak moving away from me. Please note image one (1) did not have the streak/object in view. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Brazil Orbs

SAO PAULO – On December 5, 2012, I made many photos made with a DLSR D300S with a fisheye lens and fixed on a tripod of strange round objects. I was doing work at the Monument to the Victims of the TAM which is near the airport of Congonhas!

We took four panoramic images with round objects with a central deformation between the clouds. One of panoramas shows the path from right to left of the object. In all four panoramic images the objects appear to move and you can discard foreign objects, mold, and reflection as they would be in the same position if the objects were not moving. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Canada Sound and Light

CHAPLEAU -- I was sitting around my fire pit having a few cold ones at around 10:30 PM, on July 17, 2012; when two military jets flew over my house. I got my camera and later that night at 3:38 am, i saw a brighter than normal star and thought I’d take some pictures of it.

It was stationary in the sky as I took the pictures and zoomed in on it on the third picture. I looked down at my camera to check picture then looked back up and the light was gone. Forgot about the pictures till I loaded them into my computer on December 5, 2012. Each picture gets stranger as they progress. Didn’t think anything of it till I seen the full picture and zoomed in on it. This is not the first time I’ve seen this kind of light in the sky. Thanks to MUFON CMS

PORT ALBERNI, B.C. -- I went to my friend’s house about noon on May 1, 1998, a nice clear warm day. I noticed what I thought was a flock of birds, but realized they were too far away to be birds. They were silent. There were about 15 objects by the green mountains that then flew in front of the snow capped mountains. They I could tell they weren't planes or helicopters or birds, they were just solid objects that made no sound. They flew out of my site as they traveled north towards Mt Klitsa...

Norway Encounter

I was home alone watching a film when my screen shut off and I got up to get the charger and plug it in. I tried my phone that was being unresponsive and my screen was now flashing. I looked out the window and at first I thought it was the black helicopter circling around the estate. Then I realized that it was silent and I needed to get a picture of it. The screen kept going off, and I managed to budge it, but my hands were numb from shock, but I was able to take a picture. I felt the air was heavy on me and I felt numb and weak, but I just stood there. I noticed it was moving upwards, and it just suddenly swooped up like it was an elevator shaft going up an invisible tube. After that I had the world’s biggest head ache. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Palau Red and Green objects

Koror – A large bright rectangular object with a red center and green spikes coming out of the object was seen on November 7, 2012. It appeared to pulsate, but it could have been moving clouds. At first I saw just the one, then chanced to look around and spotted seven in the night sky. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

South Africa Lights
Johannesburg -- On November 17, 2012, at 9 PM. bright orange lights moving steadily at medium height for two minutes, no sounds,. Thanks to MUFON CMS

UK/England

CLACTON ON THE SEA -- Just returned from shopping, and noticed an unusual orange light through the car window on November 29, 2012. I got out of the car and stood watching it until it disappeared on a very clear night with a very bright large moon. There were many planes in the sky for comparison, all these were flashing the compulsory lights but this orange light which looked larger than the stars in the sky did not. It travelled south on a very steady path travelling faster than all the other planes. I could hear no sound, but it seemed to be a fair distance away anyway. I thought maybe it could have been a satellite, but as soon as it disappeared into the distance, I spotted another, exactly the same, appearing at the same point and following the same path. After this one had gone, I stood there a bit longer to see if there were any more but that seemed to be it, and it was too cold to stand around for long. My husband was also a witness and he couldn't make out what they could be either. I had an encounter when I was about 15 with a large black triangle and have always sky watched since then. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Mr. Medvedev, Should We Call A Shrink?

http://www.thetruthbehindthescenes.org/2012/12/09/russian-premier-medvedev-jokes-about-aliens-living-among-us-whether-he-speaks-the-true/
http://www.clint.be/actua/russische-president-heeft-informatie-over-buitenaardse-wezens-video

Russian Premier Medvedev jokes about Aliens living among us, whether he speaks the true!

Mr Medvedev let his guard down after an interview with five Russian television stations when he failed to realise the cameras were still rolling. (first video).

In the second video Medvevev comments further and it sounds like he is making a joke out of his previous comments to lessen the impact of what he let slip.

Above video: Translation:

“I believe in Father Frost. But not too deeply. But anyway, you know, I’m not one of those people who are able to tell the kids that Father Frost does not exist,” he said in a jovial reply to a question about Russia’s equivalent of Santa Claus.

He went on to make an unflattering allusion to Putin’s frequent lateness for meetings.

“Colleagues, somebody should be extremely punctual, while somebody else is exhausting all the limits for being late,” he said, smiling wryly on a day when his mentor was more than an hour late for an event in southern Russia.

The comments touched off satire on the internet which is unlikely to help Mr Medvedev, whose star has waned since Mr Putin took over from him as president in May after a four-year interval.

In the interview itself, Mr Medvedev underlined his allegiance to Mr Putin and appeared determined to show he is in step with his ally to dismiss rumours he is about to be fired.

Mr Medvedev defended Kremlin-backed laws which critics say will be used to stifle dissent and which appear out of sync with the prime minister’s relatively liberal image.

But in the off-air comments, he was less guarded.

When one of the five journalists who interviewed him complained about federal investigators arriving to search the home of a witness in an inquiry early in the morning, Mr Medvedev told the journalist not to worry before stepping out of shot.

But his microphone was still switched on when he said casually: “They are just jerks, so they come at eight in the morning. It’s just their set of habits. I know many people who work in the police. They think if they come at seven in the morning they will get everything in the world.”

Another of the journalists asked whether the president is handed secret files on aliens when receiving the briefcase needed to activate Russia’s nuclear arsenal.

“Along with the briefcase with nuclear codes, the president of the country is given a special ‘top secret’ folder. This folder in its entirety contains information about aliens who visited our planet,” Mr Medvedev answered playfully.

“Along with this, you are given a report of the absolutely secret special service that exercises control over aliens on the territory of our country … More detailed information on this topic you can get from a well-known movie called ‘Men In Black’ … I will not tell you how many of them are among us because it may cause panic,” he says.

None of the television stations that interviewed Mr Medvedev broadcast the off-air comments, but they were delivered to Reuters as a pool signal and some were shown on YouTube.

Mr Medvedev’s standing has declined since he and Putin announced in September last year that the former KGB spy planned to return to the presidency, ending speculation his protege could stay on.

They worked jointly in St Petersburg in the 1990s and it was Mr Putin who ushered Mr Medvedev, now 47, in to power in 2008.

But some political analysts give Mr Medvedev only until March or April as prime minister, citing turf wars between rival interest groups.

Even during the interview itself, Mr Medvedev answered some unusual questions. Asked whether he believed the world would end on Dec. 21 under a New Age prophecy, he said no.

He said he might have another tilt at the presidency if the Russian people want it. But he won little acclaim on the internet.

Second Video:

Third video:

Sky News – 08 December 2012
CET – 15.11 (Snippet on Sky News).

Ok, so the questions are; was he winding the journalists up? was he caught off guard and let slip of the tongue or the Russian premier just jokes about secret files on aliens?

Anyhow,this seems a totally bizarre thing for the Prime Minister of Russia to say, even off camera.

Filer's Files # 49 - 2012 - Secret Space Program? - DEEL 1

Photo from Isle of Man UK on November 30, 2012,

In special reports, this week’s files cover: Solar Warden - The Secret Space Program? Clark McClelland’s “Stargate Chronicles,” and U.S. to Place Space Surveillance Systems in Australia

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: California, Florida, Hawaii; Indiana, Kansa, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas.

Sightings of UFOs were also reported in: Antarctica, Canada, Dominican Republic, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Isle of Man, England and Scotland in the United Kingdom.

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.

Filer’s Files are now being emailed to 12,900 addresses each week plus 500 copies are forwarded to more thousands. Consider forwarding them to your friends and neighbors.
Dedicated to 5 year old Georgie Filer V whose motto was “Be Happy” and Eddie Pedrick my grandsons who drowned.

Solar Warden - The Secret Space Program

US Naval Network and Space Operations Command photo

UK News Darren Perks reports since 1980, a secret space fleet code named 'Solar Warden' has been in operation unknown to the public...
Is this nonsense, is it a conspiracy or is it simply so sensitive that it will cause uproar around the world?
These are my own words after conducting research into the secret program. While conducting an FOI (freedom of information) request with the DOD (department of defense) in 2010, I had a very unexpected response by email from them which read:

"About an hour ago I spoke to a NASA rep who confirmed this was their
program and that it was terminated by the President. He also informed me that it was not a joint program with the DOD. The NASA rep informed me that you should be directed to the Johnson Space Center FOIA Manager.

I have run your request through one of our space-related directorates and I'm waiting on one other division with the Command to respond back to me. I will contact you once I have a response from the other division. Did NASA refer you to us?"

The program not only operates classified under the US Government but also under the United Nations authority. So you might be wondering, how do I know this information?

Well there are a few people and many others that have tried hard to find out the truth, and have succeeded by leaked information or simply asking questions and have government departments slip up and give away information freely, just like what happened when Darren Perks asked the DOD. One notable contributor is Gary Mckinnon.

When Gary McKinnon hacked into U.S. Space Command computers several years ago and learned of the existence of "non-terrestrial officers" and "fleet-to-fleet transfers" and a secret program called "Solar Warden", he was charged by the Bush Justice Department with having committed "the biggest military computer hack of all time", and stood to face prison time of up to 70 years after extradition from UK. But trying earnest McKinnon in open court would involve his testifying to the above classified facts, and his attorney would be able to subpoena government officers to testify under oath about the Navy's Space Fleet. To date the UK has refused to extradite McKinnon

McKinnon also found out about the ships or craft within Solar Warden. It is said that there are about eight cigar-shaped Motherships (each longer than two football fields end-to-end) and 43 small "scout ships. The Solar Warden Space Fleet operates under the US Naval Network and Space Operations Command (NNSOC) [formerly Naval Space Command]. There are approximately 300 personnel involved at that facility, with the figure rising.
Solar Warden is said to be made up from U.S. aerospace Black Projects contractors, but with some contributions of parts and systems by Canada, United Kingdom, Italy, Austria, Russia, and Australia. It is also said that the program is tested and operated from secret military bases such as Area 51 in Nevada, USA. Solar Warden"

We have a space fleet, which is code named; ‘Solar Warden.’ There were, as of 2005, eight ships, an equivalent to aircraft carriers and forty-three ‘protectors,’ which are space planes. One was lost recently to an accident in Mars' orbit while it was attempting to re-supply the multinational colony within Mars. This base was established in 1964 by American and Soviet teamwork. Not everything is, as it seems.”

“We have visited all the planets in our solar system, at a distance of course, except Mercury. We have landed on Pluto and a few moons. These ships contain personnel from many countries and have sworn an oath to the World Government. The technology came from back engineering alien-disc wreckage and at times with alien assistance.”

So should we just write this off as utter nonsense?
No we shouldn't and as time goes on the truth will slowly come out. Many people around the world are now witnessing craft moving around in the skies and sub space that completely defy gravity. Whether they are part of the Solar Warden secret program, military experimental aircraft or not, thousands of people know what they see.

In my view is very real and a very strong possibility.
So no, I don't think we should rule it out as complete nonsense.
Yes, it's a conspiracy because of all the hype and controversy surrounding the facts and information about the program.
Sensitive is an understatement. This program would change the world and our views on space exploration and travel, so no wonder that it would be kept a big 'secret'.
We should all keep it in the back of our minds... for now at least!

On 23 June 2009, the Secretary of Defense directed the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) to establish USCYBERCOM. In May 2010, the

Commander General Keith Alexander outlined his views in a report for the United States House Committee on Armed Services subcommittee:
"My own view is that the only way to counteract both criminal and espionage activity online is to be proactive. If the U.S. is taking a formal approach to this, then that has to be a good thing. The Chinese are viewed as the source of a great many attacks on western infrastructure and just recently, the U.S. electrical grid. If that is determined to be an organized attack, I would want to go and take down the source of those attacks. The only problem is that the Internet, by its very nature, has no borders and if the U.S. takes on the mantle of the world's police; that might not go down so well."

President Reagan's Diary

On April 13, the National Archive Records Administration made available almost 250,000 pages of documents from President Reagan's administration. It will take several months for researchers to read through the documents. The released material may yield insight into a curious comment found in President Reagan's Diary.

The entry for Tuesday, June 11, 1985 (page 334) reads:

Lunch with 5 top space scientists.

“It was fascinating. Space truly is the last frontier and some of the developments there in astronomy etc. are like science fiction, except they are real. I learned that our shuttle capacity is such that we could orbit 300 people.”

The now grounded Space Shuttle held a maximum of eight people and only five were built for space flight. Even if all five took off fully loaded it would be impossible to place and maintain 300 astronauts in orbit. Apparently President Reagan revealed the existence of a highly classified space program that could accommodate hundreds of astronauts in orbit?

Apparently hidden within one of the ten unified combatant commands of the U.S. military, Strategic Command, is a highly classified fleet of aircraft carrier sized antigravity vehicles that operate in outer space.

The United States has organized its military forces into ten unified combatant commands respectively led by a single four star General or Admiral who reports directly to the Secretary of Defense. Only these commanders know of the existence of UFOs and appoint who has a need to know. Six of the unified commands span the globe in terms of different geographical areas. In addition, there are four functional commands where specialized military activities are run by a single “Combatant Commander.” From 1985 to 2002 Space Command was responsible for outer space operations by the U.S. military. In June 2002, Space Command merged with another of the functional commands –General C. Robert "Bob" Kehler is Commander, United States Strategic Command, Offutt Air Force Base, Neb. which is responsible for a range of space, satellite, missile, nuclear and intelligence activities.

Rumors that the U.S. has a highly classified fleet of antigravity vehicles have circulated for years. On March 23, 1993, at an engineering conference in Los Angeles, Dr. Ben Rich former CEO of Lockheed’s Skunkworks, showed a slide with a black disk headed for space and said: "We now have the technology to take ET home".

Corporate and military whistleblowers have come forward to claim firsthand knowledge of classified space vehicles using antigravity technology such as the Aurora and TR-3B. In his book, “The Hunt for Zero Point,” Jane's Defense Weekly analyst Nick Cook writes about the Aurora: "there has been speculation since the late 1980s about the existence of a secret replacement for the Blackbird, a mythical plane called the Aurora that supposedly flew twice as fast and on the edges of space" (p. 14). Other whistleblowers such as Edgar Fouche, a former contractor with the Department of Defense, have come forward to claim that the Blackbird's [or SR-71] replacement, the Aurora actually comprises two types of hypersonic aircraft used for space flight. He said: "The Aurora comprises the SR-75 capable of speeds above Mach 5, and acts as a mother ship for the SR-74 that can travel at speeds of Mach 18 or more into space to deliver satellites."

More significant is the large black triangular vehicle, the TR-3B that Fouche claims generates an intense magnetic field that reduces its weight by 89 percent. He says that the TR-3B uses the Biefeld-Brown effect (created by large electrostatic charges) to reduce its weight so that more conventional propulsion systems such as scramjets can give it amazing speeds. This would be well above Mach 18 that he claims is the speed of the SR-74. Fouche claims the TR-3B is 600 feet across which would make it similar in size to an aircraft carrier.

Ted Twietmeyer writes that a Space Command photograph had the following citation: … highlights the team for its exceptional support in keeping the space shuttle, International Space Station and its crews safe from the dangers of orbital debris, spacecraft collisions and other inherent hazards of orbit operations.

Neither USAF Space Command nor Strategic Command is publicly known to have any kind of space vehicle that would assist the Space Shuttle or International Space Station from orbital dangers.

Normally, both NASA vehicles would require gradual orbital corrections that would take much time and be insufficient to deal with an immediate threat. According to Ted Twietmeyer, the citation is circumstantial evidence for the existence of antigravity vehicles with advanced particle beam weapons that could remove orbital debris from the path of NASA vehicles. These triangles must be armed with particle beam or quantum weaponry, chemical lasers or electrically excited reactor powered lasers and other weaponry. These weapons could also be used to destroy objects in the path of the space station or space shuttle. There were several eyewitness reports of hovering black triangles firing at targets in Iraq during the early days of the war.

There is a massive anti-gravity energy field surrounding these vehicles which interferes with all electronic devices, making it unlikely anyone could ever get images of them. War has historically been the best proving ground for all new weapons. In the UK, the press and media are forbidden under the UK Secrets Act from covering or reporting on sightings of black triangles. That act speaks volumes about whether or not black triangles exist. The TR-3 has been in service since the mid-1990's, and NASA's space program was nothing more than on-going entertainment to distract the public.

Michael E. Salla, PhD writes, "The idea that a secret space fleet exists that can intervene to assist the Space Shuttle or International Space Station is also supported by the testimony of a former NASA employee Clark McClelland.
On one occasion he claims to have witnessed delta winged antigravity vehicle nearby. The delta shaped vehicle may in fact have been part of a classified Space Fleet attached to U.S. Strategic Command.

Important clues may emerge from the recently released Reagan records about Strategic Command's classified space fleet. More significantly, the public may soon learn about the advanced antigravity technologies that have been secretly developed and used for decades to fly military astronauts into deep space.

The most famous alien comment by Reagan was on September 21, 1987, before the Unite Nations General Assembly:

“In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside of this world. And yet I ask - is not an alien force already among us? "

Reagan’s views about extraterrestrial life were not dismissed by the Kremlin. Gorbachev did eventually respond in a serious way to Reagan’s scenario of an extraterrestrial invasion. In February 1997, Gorbachev responded to Reagan’s comments at their 1985 Geneva Summit.

At our meeting in Geneva, the U.S. President said that if the earth faced an invasion by extraterrestrials, the United States and the Soviet Union would join forces to repel such an invasion. I shall not dispute the hypothesis, although I think it’s early yet to worry about such an intrusion.
Also in May 1990, after Reagan had left office, Gorbachev said: "The phenomenon of UFOs does exist and it must be treated seriously."

The Solar Warden Spacecraft indicates the US and the Soviet Union did join forces against and outside alien threat.

Clark McClelland writes in his new book, “Stargate Chronicles”
.

Clark C. McClelland, former NASA ScO, Space Shuttle Fleet, KSC, writes, "On July 16, 1969, the day of the launch of Apollo 11 for the first landing of men on the moon I met Senator Barry M. Goldwater of Arizona who had been the Republican Presidential candidate in 1964." Goldwater asked about sightings during other space missions. I mentioned several during Gemini and Apollo and then I asked him if he had heard anything about a 1956 US Naval aircraft and the huge UFO disc over the Atlantic Ocean? He said he had not.

I said, "Senator, it apparently was also kept secret by the Pentagon. During my initial muster with the US Navy Office Naval Intelligence Unit 6-69 at Patrick AFB, in 1959, I was introduced to several admirals and captains who immediately swore me to secrecy, Bible and all. I was an investigator of UFOs for NICAP, and this was apparently well known since I had presented UFO talks at the Philadelphia Naval Base and was a friend of many NASA Astronauts.

Captain Rudy Bergholz had me run a confidential film that disclosed a huge disc shaped UFO (400 feet in diameter) spotted by a Navy flight crew in a four engine transport traveling west over the Atlantic Ocean towards Gander, Newfoundland for refueling in 1956.

Admiral Delmar S. Fahrney was mentioned in the film as having his own sighting. Goldwater injected a comment, "Yes, I have met Admiral Fahrney, Mac." Captain Bergholz said, "I now had a 'need to know' about UFOs because I was to investigate and verify through the German 'Paper Clip WW II scientists at Cape Canaveral, what they had learned at AMC (Air Material Command) Foreign Technology Division at Wright Field, Ohio"

I later informed Burgholz that I had discovered at least three Paper Clip Scientists that were assigned to Wright Field following their arrival with Dr. Wernher von Braun in 1946. One named Siegfried Knemeyer, a former Third Reich Luftwaffe Pilot and German Air Ministry Director, Dr. Hans Amtmann and Dr.Alexander Lippisch. I suggested to Goldwater all three are still at Wright-Patterson and Senator could try to contact them there."

The Senator quickly replied, "No, not after that experience with General LeMay, Mac!" I said "Senator, you are aware of the military rivalry? He replied, "Yes, I am, I work with the military budgets in the Senate." I continued, "There is a great rivalry between the US military services and since the USAF Foreign Technology Division at Wright Field has captured alien technology the US Navy wanted it shared with ONI”. www.stargate-chronicles.com

U.S. to Place Space Surveillance Systems in Australia

Source: Aviation Week & Space Technology

PHOTO OF C-BAND SPACE SURVEILLANCE RADAR.

U.S. and Australian militaries have agreed to place two key U.S. space systems in Australia. The Darpa space-surveillance optical telescope (SST) is designed to offer an “order-of-magnitude improvement” over ground-based electro-optical deep-space-surveillance telescopes in search rate and the ability to detect and track satellites, they said. “The SST gives a wider field of view and can better detect and track small objects at deep space altitudes-about 22,000 miles above Earth’s surface-associated with geosynchronous orbits.” A U.S. Air Force C-band space-surveillance radar-which can track up to 200 objects a day and help to identify satellites, their orbits and potential anomalies is scheduled to move from Antigua in the Caribbean to Western Australia in 2014 and increase cover¬age of space objects in the South-according to officials, and is expected to boost space-surveillance capabilities for both nations.
Note: I wonder if the “anomalies” applies to UFO activity.

Sightings in the United States

California Disc

SOLEDAD – On November 25, 2012, plain and simple I took two pictures of me with the sun behind me but both in a different position. When I looked closely at them I saw a black empty spot directly in front of the sun. I’m not sure if it’s just the exposure, but am willing to send you the pictures. It was not visible with the naked eye, it was sunny and who I ask can look right into the sun and see?

Note: Some cameras create a black sphere in the center of a bright scene. Thanks to MUFON CMS

California had 53 reports - the highest reporting state in the nation.

Florida Orb

FORT LAUDERDALE -- Every morning I sit on my boat dock and watch the sunrise while having my coffee. On November 29, 2012, about 6 AM, I had my camera with me because I like to take photographs and there are some awesome birds that land on the dock posts. When I go out to the dock, it is pitch black and as it gets lighter, you can differentiate clouds from trees. I took numerous photographs that night and I captured an orb on my camera that I never saw with the naked eye.

As the sun came up I took three pictures of the sun per second and I noticed a penny-sized bright orb in several photos. So, I stopped my picture taking and looked at the sky. There was NOTHING there. It was very bright light that stood out as the only thing in the picture save for a bluish glow in the sky from the sun coming up. I took more pictures but the orb was there in every single picture I took, yet I still could not see it with my naked eyes.

The people on the news reported seeing it before going to bed on the night of the 28th and I saw it early on the 29th.

JACKSONVILLE -- I was in my car headed west on I-10 and saw some lights in a triangle formation and one beam of light that appeared to scan the area on September 17, 2012. As it got closer, I saw a solid triangular craft about 50 feet across, and two more of these craft within five minutes. Shortly a fourth triangular craft about 1/4 mile in size with lights on all corners and a light scanning in various directions flew by.

Hawaii Abduction

KIHEI/MAUI -- On August 31, 2012, I awoke about 10:45 PM with a black mass hovering over my entire body. I felt a slight burning sensation on my arms and legs. The reason I know the time is because, I could see the time on the cable box. I knew for a fact that it was not a dream because I could see and feel the black mass, while my husband was sound asleep.

Within a short time, I was in some type of pod with a dark blue/gray metallic like material. I could see some light through a very small foggy window and it felt like I was lying in a slimy gelatinous substance that covered my entire body. Unfortunately, I could not smell anything because I lost my sense of smell several years ago. I was screaming to the top of my lungs, but the rest of my body could not move.
I felt the presence of someone or something around me, but could not see anything in clear sight, except the pod I was in! It was horrible!

I awoke about 5:45 AM, on September 1, 2012, in a complete state o

f hysteria at the opposite end of my bed. My hair was soaking wet with a sticky gel like residue and my husband awoke to help me. He said that he awoke at 2:30 AM, and I was gone. He thought that was in my studio painting. The first thing he noticed was my hair and touched the gel. He went to pull this gelatin from my hair and it sparked and dissipated immediately. My hair was still soaking wet, and I had a red rash on my left arm the size of a silver dollar. He immediately placed a cold compress on it. Over the next three weeks the rash/burn healed, but left a visible scar/discoloration.

I have no idea what happened to me that night, but it has weighed heavy on my mind for several months. I searched the internet and found a similar story in Hawaii. I am terrified and I am now using sleep aids to fall asleep at night and sleep with the lights and television on every single night! + I keep hearing strange vibration sounds all the time. The burn/scar discoloration is still on my left arm and I am having frequent nose bleeds, including pain to the upper right eye and nasal cavity. I made an appointment to see an ear nose and throat doctor next week.

I was awake about 11 PM got up to use the rest room and saw two strange wiggly wire shape light forms just bouncing around the hall. I went to step closer towards them and they were gone. I setup my camcorder in the hall but, did not find anything abnormal on the camcorder the next morning, although I do not remember going back to bed.

I remember that night having a weird dream in full color where I was waving to other people in a bubble that was floating or flying in the blue sky. I heard a big a big boom sound and saw very clear water with dark gray slates on the bottom. The entire area seemed very familiar to me and I was not afraid. I asked someone in a metallic shimmering hooded robe in my dream “When would I be going back home?” I awoke the next morning with a round red burn mark on my right cheek. Just when it seems to heal it gets inflamed and red all over. I normally have flawless skin the burn is 3/8″ on the left side of my face.
Note: This sounds like a “classic abduction” scenario. The witness is referring to another sighting that was reported at the same location in Hawaii on August 31, 2012. The witness sent photos showing some of the physical damage from the abduction. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Indiana Multiple Sightings

BLANFORD – Richard Bondira has been photographing UFOs on clear nights since January 2012.
He sent me dozens of photographs of UFO that he has filmed over the last six months. Sightings are continuing in October and November. As many as ten or more UFOs can be seen on some nights. They mostly hover but can be seen maneuvering, spin around, or go straight up. They usually come from the southeast heading northwest. Thanks to Richard Bondira

Kansas Spiral

OVERLAND PARK -- On November 29, 2012, around 4 AM, I let my dogs out back and noticed a huge spiral contrail above my house. The moon was pretty much full so it was lit up and easy to see. I have never seen a contrail in that shape before so I grabbed my camera and increased the exposure time to 2 seconds so I could capture pictures in the dark. The pictures you can see the moon and two contrails. In the left of the pictures you can see a normal contrail traveling in the same direction as the spiral contrail. I did not see the object. I just saw the resulting contrail. The large size and cork-screw contrail seem very strange. I edited the photos using Google photo editor to help see detail of the contrail. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Missouri Triangle

RAYTOWN – I was on my way to work on November 30, 2012 at 4:25 AM, and saw a huge black triangle flying low, a hundred feet over my street moving northeast. The object was moving very slow as it crossed over the street and hovered above the house on the east side of the street. The object was black, darker than the night sky with the exception of three very bright pulsating lights at each corner and a large bright center light. The lights changed colors but did not appear to have any pattern to the movement. The silent object was absolutely huge and easily covered the entire house and then some. I tried to film it but my cell phone would not come on. So I quickly made a sketch of what I was seeing. The object started to move slowly and I tried to film again and I looked up and the object was gone. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Nebraska Triangle

O'NEILL -- My son and I were driving to our cabin about 7:05 PM on November 30, 2012, when I noticed an object with several lights only a few hundred feet high moving slowly. It resembled a combine in the air with one pulsating orange light. Several small lights formed the outline of the object.

The first time we saw it for only thirty seconds before all of a sudden it was gone. The second time was a few miles further down the road when my son noticed it again moving northeast. We were driving 70 mph and it was pulling away from us. At first I thought it could be a large aircraft like a B-2 bomber however I’ve never seen a plane that could move that slow. The lights easily made it stand out in the dark sky. It’s nothing like anything I’ve seen before. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Note: Several other states including Missouri, Michigan, Washington, Texas and Pennsylvania reported similar low flying, triangle-shaped objects during November.

New York Silent V-Shaped Craft

BROOKLYN – Looking across the East River at the Lower East Side of Manhattan from the roof top of my apartment building on November 19. 2012, I smoke a cigarette and pay very close attention to everything in the sky

To the northeast is La Guardia airport and almost directly south is JFK. I’ve seen plenty of craft that the normal person doesn’t see every day. About 12:30 AM, I was enjoying being able to see Orion’s Belt, as a very mysterious UFO flew directly low over my head! Never, before had any commercial flight flown directly overhead of my building. It was too low for FAA regulations, especially this close to Ground Zero (9/11). It was the length of a football field and in my line of vision for almost ten seconds before it disappeared behind the Williamsburg Bridge.

It had a typical V-Shape with five lights with one at the tip, then two down each side, perfectly symmetrical and at a perfect angle. The lights were very large, circular and the light emitted was diffused, almost as if they were behind a haze. Other planes that were further away by miles had sharper looking lights and were more visible. There were no FAA navigation lights on it whatsoever. The lights were soft white-yellowish color and did NOT flash. It seemed extraterrestrial, but if it wasn’t then it was some sort of top-secret aircraft. I will it remember for the rest of my life. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Pennsylvania Lights

WASHINGTON – I was outside at work at a small retail store when I noticed a really strange cloud formation and took a picture on my cell phone on May 29, 2012. A few months later I was deleting pictures when I took a closer look and saw a strange formation of lights in the clouds. I don’t know if it was one solid object or four separate objects. When I realized it was there I showed a few friends and thought it was rather interesting. I was kind of puzzled as to how I didn’t notice it at the time.

MURRYSVILLE – On November 29, 2012, I was star gazing/moon gazing UFO hunting when at approximately 9:20 PM an unknown craft type came from the south across Route 22 and banked left over my property. The object had none of the normal FAA lights but had many other lights round about it pulsating and blinking randomly. The craft was completely silent. It flew west toward Monroeville rapidly until out of sight. I have video of the object. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Texas Orbs

MC ALLEN -- I was looking up when a light distortion caught my attention on November 24, 2012. I first saw it to be a cylindrical object at 4:45 PM. The cylinder then distorted into two silver shaped saucers. I called for my wife when she could see what I was witnessing she hurriedly asked me to get the camera. I took a series of pictures while it stayed motionless before it disappeared into the clouds. I was in awe. Thanks to William Puckett,

Worldwide UFO Sightings

Antarctica lights

A very strange phenomena was captured over Neumayer Station III on November 21, and 29, 2012.
The strange lights were either a strange object or a natural phenomenon. There are several possibilities such as a reflection of the sun such as lights behind the clouds and that the light was reflected off the ice. There may have been over exposure, frost on the camera lens or a lens flare or even a UFO. Whatever it is, it’s very unusual.

Canada Orange Glow

NEWMARKET, ONTARIO -- I drove down my street and I saw multiple bright orange lights with a red glow across the sky in the distance on November 7, 2012 at 7:45 PM. The lights were silent and did not flash as they moved slowly across the sky in a pattern and then turned and headed south. I called my children and my neighbors to come out to see them, my neighbors only saw the last three glowing orange lights flying in a triangle formation.

My daughter and I saw one final bright round orange/red light coming across the sky in the same flight path. A comet or something similar shot directly overhead at an altitude of 50 feet. It had a long tail, was grey and disappeared as it reached my neighbor’s house. I turned to my daughter and said, “Did you see that!?” and she responded, “Yes, and I made a wish!” thinking it looked like a shooting star. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Dominican Republic Flash

SANTO DOMINGO -- I don't speak English very well. I was in my truck when I noticed a light different from others in the sky on November 16, 2012 and 11: 40 AM. I saw it approach and immediately tried to video it with my cell phone, but I was unable to do it. The light was moving away from me little by little and then faded. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Japan Orbs

Victor Viggiani writes,
“Have you seen this video clip from Japan? We feel it is one of the most provocative (but unvetted as yet) UFO videos.” Your thoughts?

Sincere Regards, Victor Viggiani, News Director

Note: The objects are not aircraft, but they could be balloons. If we know the wind direction and speed we could rule out balloons. Air is often rising below a cloud, but the swirling action of the orbs seems unlikely to be caused by the updrafts. The movement of the orbs seems planned or intelligent and the movement seems to rule out balloons. The orbs seem large and are likely to be unidentified flying objects.

Mexico Huge Mass of UFO Lights

A mass of multiple lights, a UFO sighting was filmed over Mexico (unknown city) at 8 PM, on November 18, 2012. Rafael Rodriguez

Netherlands Five Minutes Orange Oval

AMSTERDAM – On November 13, 2013, about 12:30 AM, while I was walking my dog, I observed a globe like structure, at the height and speed of a sports-plane. It was orange colored like fire flying in a straight northeast line from Coentunne.

Before it disappeared behind a building, it seemed to be slowly losing height in the direction of Oostzaan. I half expected an explosion from a crashing plane, but nothing happened. It flew too fast and was too big for a balloon. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Norway Triangle

TELEMARK -- My sister and I were out walking my dog on November 20, 2012, and we were talking about some other UFO sightings, when we suddenly saw a triangle shaped flying vehicle with three bright/yellow lights in each corner, that seemed like there was some light coming from the middle. There was a light at the back of the vehicle on top and at the middle, it seemed to blink red. It flew right over us and just kept going. Almost no sound came from it but there was a "hum" like a vacuum cleaner. It flew rather low as well, we could see its shape clearly but at the same time it was kind of blurry/translucent. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Spain Light

BARCELONA -- I was in my living room looking through the window, when I saw a little light in the sky that started changing directions and moving at different speeds. Suddenly much closer two big orange glowing lights flew synchronized around the area for over 30 seconds. I went running with my girlfriend to the roof of the building, but when we got there, we didn't find them. It was really weird. Thanks to MUFON CMS

UK/Isle of Man

On November 30, 2012, I only saw these two triangle shaped objects when I put the photo on my computer.

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

UK/England

ORPINGTON -- I was lying in my bed at 10:55 PM; on November 19, 2012, when I saw several lights reflect onto my wall from my window. Car lights can cause this but these were extremely bright and went on for a few minutes, so I looked out of the window and over the treeline was a huge anti-riot armored tank like vehicle. It was kind of translucent hovering off the ground and covered with random lights. It was about 16 foot high and about the size of 4 carriages long. It was moving very slowly and was kind of shimmering. It gave off a low pitched whirling noise like a large jet engine. Eventually it moved away out of my vision, but the noise remained at the same volume for a while until it suddenly went silent. It definitely wasn't a train unless they've developed huge armored floating trains made out of shimmering water and random flashing yellow lights. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

UK/Scotland Circle

CUMNOCK -- On November 19, 2012, at 10:55 PM; we saw weird lights going from west to east for thirty minutes in Ayrshire, Scotland.

Sightings in the United States

California Disc

SOLEDAD – On November 25, 2012, plain and simple I took two pictures of me with the sun behind me but both in a different position. When I looked closely at them I saw a black empty spot directly in front of the sun. I’m not sure if it’s just the exposure, but am willing to send you the pictures. It was not visible with the naked eye, it was sunny and who I ask can look right into the sun and see?

Note: Some cameras create a black sphere in the center of a bright scene. Thanks to MUFON CMS

California had 53 reports - the highest reporting state in the nation.

Florida Orb

FORT LAUDERDALE -- Every morning I sit on my boat dock and watch the sunrise while having my coffee. On November 29, 2012, about 6 AM, I had my camera with me because I like to take photographs and there are some awesome birds that land on the dock posts. When I go out to the dock, it is pitch black and as it gets lighter, you can differentiate clouds from trees. I took numerous photographs that night and I captured an orb on my camera that I never saw with the naked eye.

As the sun came up I took three pictures of the sun per second and I noticed a penny-sized bright orb in several photos. So, I stopped my picture taking and looked at the sky. There was NOTHING there. It was very bright light that stood out as the only thing in the picture save for a bluish glow in the sky from the sun coming up. I took more pictures but the orb was there in every single picture I took, yet I still could not see it with my naked eyes.

The people on the news reported seeing it before going to bed on the night of the 28th and I saw it early on the 29th.

JACKSONVILLE -- I was in my car headed west on I-10 and saw some lights in a triangle formation and one beam of light that appeared to scan the area on September 17, 2012. As it got closer, I saw a solid triangular craft about 50 feet across, and two more of these craft within five minutes. Shortly a fourth triangular craft about 1/4 mile in size with lights on all corners and a light scanning in various directions flew by.

Hawaii Abduction

KIHEI/MAUI -- On August 31, 2012, I awoke about 10:45 PM with a black mass hovering over my entire body. I felt a slight burning sensation on my arms and legs. The reason I know the time is because, I could see the time on the cable box. I knew for a fact that it was not a dream because I could see and feel the black mass, while my husband was sound asleep.

Within a short time, I was in some type of pod with a dark blue/gray metallic like material. I could see some light through a very small foggy window and it felt like I was lying in a slimy gelatinous substance that covered my entire body. Unfortunately, I could not smell anything because I lost my sense of smell several years ago. I was screaming to the top of my lungs, but the rest of my body could not move.
I felt the presence of someone or something around me, but could not see anything in clear sight, except the pod I was in! It was horrible!

I awoke about 5:45 AM, on September 1, 2012, in a complete state o

f hysteria at the opposite end of my bed. My hair was soaking wet with a sticky gel like residue and my husband awoke to help me. He said that he awoke at 2:30 AM, and I was gone. He thought that was in my studio painting. The first thing he noticed was my hair and touched the gel. He went to pull this gelatin from my hair and it sparked and dissipated immediately. My hair was still soaking wet, and I had a red rash on my left arm the size of a silver dollar. He immediately placed a cold compress on it. Over the next three weeks the rash/burn healed, but left a visible scar/discoloration.

I have no idea what happened to me that night, but it has weighed heavy on my mind for several months. I searched the internet and found a similar story in Hawaii. I am terrified and I am now using sleep aids to fall asleep at night and sleep with the lights and television on every single night! + I keep hearing strange vibration sounds all the time. The burn/scar discoloration is still on my left arm and I am having frequent nose bleeds, including pain to the upper right eye and nasal cavity. I made an appointment to see an ear nose and throat doctor next week.

I was awake about 11 PM got up to use the rest room and saw two strange wiggly wire shape light forms just bouncing around the hall. I went to step closer towards them and they were gone. I setup my camcorder in the hall but, did not find anything abnormal on the camcorder the next morning, although I do not remember going back to bed.

I remember that night having a weird dream in full color where I was waving to other people in a bubble that was floating or flying in the blue sky. I heard a big a big boom sound and saw very clear water with dark gray slates on the bottom. The entire area seemed very familiar to me and I was not afraid. I asked someone in a metallic shimmering hooded robe in my dream “When would I be going back home?” I awoke the next morning with a round red burn mark on my right cheek. Just when it seems to heal it gets inflamed and red all over. I normally have flawless skin the burn is 3/8″ on the left side of my face.
Note: This sounds like a “classic abduction” scenario. The witness is referring to another sighting that was reported at the same location in Hawaii on August 31, 2012. The witness sent photos showing some of the physical damage from the abduction. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Indiana Multiple Sightings

BLANFORD – Richard Bondira has been photographing UFOs on clear nights since January 2012.
He sent me dozens of photographs of UFO that he has filmed over the last six months. Sightings are continuing in October and November. As many as ten or more UFOs can be seen on some nights. They mostly hover but can be seen maneuvering, spin around, or go straight up. They usually come from the southeast heading northwest. Thanks to Richard Bondira

Kansas Spiral

OVERLAND PARK -- On November 29, 2012, around 4 AM, I let my dogs out back and noticed a huge spiral contrail above my house. The moon was pretty much full so it was lit up and easy to see. I have never seen a contrail in that shape before so I grabbed my camera and increased the exposure time to 2 seconds so I could capture pictures in the dark. The pictures you can see the moon and two contrails. In the left of the pictures you can see a normal contrail traveling in the same direction as the spiral contrail. I did not see the object. I just saw the resulting contrail. The large size and cork-screw contrail seem very strange. I edited the photos using Google photo editor to help see detail of the contrail. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Missouri Triangle

RAYTOWN – I was on my way to work on November 30, 2012 at 4:25 AM, and saw a huge black triangle flying low, a hundred feet over my street moving northeast. The object was moving very slow as it crossed over the street and hovered above the house on the east side of the street. The object was black, darker than the night sky with the exception of three very bright pulsating lights at each corner and a large bright center light. The lights changed colors but did not appear to have any pattern to the movement. The silent object was absolutely huge and easily covered the entire house and then some. I tried to film it but my cell phone would not come on. So I quickly made a sketch of what I was seeing. The object started to move slowly and I tried to film again and I looked up and the object was gone. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Nebraska Triangle

O'NEILL -- My son and I were driving to our cabin about 7:05 PM on November 30, 2012, when I noticed an object with several lights only a few hundred feet high moving slowly. It resembled a combine in the air with one pulsating orange light. Several small lights formed the outline of the object.

The first time we saw it for only thirty seconds before all of a sudden it was gone. The second time was a few miles further down the road when my son noticed it again moving northeast. We were driving 70 mph and it was pulling away from us. At first I thought it could be a large aircraft like a B-2 bomber however I’ve never seen a plane that could move that slow. The lights easily made it stand out in the dark sky. It’s nothing like anything I’ve seen before. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Note: Several other states including Missouri, Michigan, Washington, Texas and Pennsylvania reported similar low flying, triangle-shaped objects during November.

New York Silent V-Shaped Craft

BROOKLYN – Looking across the East River at the Lower East Side of Manhattan from the roof top of my apartment building on November 19. 2012, I smoke a cigarette and pay very close attention to everything in the sky

To the northeast is La Guardia airport and almost directly south is JFK. I’ve seen plenty of craft that the normal person doesn’t see every day. About 12:30 AM, I was enjoying being able to see Orion’s Belt, as a very mysterious UFO flew directly low over my head! Never, before had any commercial flight flown directly overhead of my building. It was too low for FAA regulations, especially this close to Ground Zero (9/11). It was the length of a football field and in my line of vision for almost ten seconds before it disappeared behind the Williamsburg Bridge.

It had a typical V-Shape with five lights with one at the tip, then two down each side, perfectly symmetrical and at a perfect angle. The lights were very large, circular and the light emitted was diffused, almost as if they were behind a haze. Other planes that were further away by miles had sharper looking lights and were more visible. There were no FAA navigation lights on it whatsoever. The lights were soft white-yellowish color and did NOT flash. It seemed extraterrestrial, but if it wasn’t then it was some sort of top-secret aircraft. I will it remember for the rest of my life. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Pennsylvania Lights

WASHINGTON – I was outside at work at a small retail store when I noticed a really strange cloud formation and took a picture on my cell phone on May 29, 2012. A few months later I was deleting pictures when I took a closer look and saw a strange formation of lights in the clouds. I don’t know if it was one solid object or four separate objects. When I realized it was there I showed a few friends and thought it was rather interesting. I was kind of puzzled as to how I didn’t notice it at the time.

MURRYSVILLE – On November 29, 2012, I was star gazing/moon gazing UFO hunting when at approximately 9:20 PM an unknown craft type came from the south across Route 22 and banked left over my property. The object had none of the normal FAA lights but had many other lights round about it pulsating and blinking randomly. The craft was completely silent. It flew west toward Monroeville rapidly until out of sight. I have video of the object. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Texas Orbs

MC ALLEN -- I was looking up when a light distortion caught my attention on November 24, 2012. I first saw it to be a cylindrical object at 4:45 PM. The cylinder then distorted into two silver shaped saucers. I called for my wife when she could see what I was witnessing she hurriedly asked me to get the camera. I took a series of pictures while it stayed motionless before it disappeared into the clouds. I was in awe. Thanks to William Puckett,

Worldwide UFO Sightings

Antarctica lights

A very strange phenomena was captured over Neumayer Station III on November 21, and 29, 2012.
The strange lights were either a strange object or a natural phenomenon. There are several possibilities such as a reflection of the sun such as lights behind the clouds and that the light was reflected off the ice. There may have been over exposure, frost on the camera lens or a lens flare or even a UFO. Whatever it is, it’s very unusual.

Canada Orange Glow

NEWMARKET, ONTARIO -- I drove down my street and I saw multiple bright orange lights with a red glow across the sky in the distance on November 7, 2012 at 7:45 PM. The lights were silent and did not flash as they moved slowly across the sky in a pattern and then turned and headed south. I called my children and my neighbors to come out to see them, my neighbors only saw the last three glowing orange lights flying in a triangle formation.

My daughter and I saw one final bright round orange/red light coming across the sky in the same flight path. A comet or something similar shot directly overhead at an altitude of 50 feet. It had a long tail, was grey and disappeared as it reached my neighbor’s house. I turned to my daughter and said, “Did you see that!?” and she responded, “Yes, and I made a wish!” thinking it looked like a shooting star. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Dominican Republic Flash

SANTO DOMINGO -- I don't speak English very well. I was in my truck when I noticed a light different from others in the sky on November 16, 2012 and 11: 40 AM. I saw it approach and immediately tried to video it with my cell phone, but I was unable to do it. The light was moving away from me little by little and then faded. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Japan Orbs

Victor Viggiani writes,
“Have you seen this video clip from Japan? We feel it is one of the most provocative (but unvetted as yet) UFO videos.” Your thoughts?

Sincere Regards, Victor Viggiani, News Director

Note: The objects are not aircraft, but they could be balloons. If we know the wind direction and speed we could rule out balloons. Air is often rising below a cloud, but the swirling action of the orbs seems unlikely to be caused by the updrafts. The movement of the orbs seems planned or intelligent and the movement seems to rule out balloons. The orbs seem large and are likely to be unidentified flying objects.

Mexico Huge Mass of UFO Lights

A mass of multiple lights, a UFO sighting was filmed over Mexico (unknown city) at 8 PM, on November 18, 2012. Rafael Rodriguez

Netherlands Five Minutes Orange Oval

AMSTERDAM – On November 13, 2013, about 12:30 AM, while I was walking my dog, I observed a globe like structure, at the height and speed of a sports-plane. It was orange colored like fire flying in a straight northeast line from Coentunne.

Before it disappeared behind a building, it seemed to be slowly losing height in the direction of Oostzaan. I half expected an explosion from a crashing plane, but nothing happened. It flew too fast and was too big for a balloon. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Norway Triangle

TELEMARK -- My sister and I were out walking my dog on November 20, 2012, and we were talking about some other UFO sightings, when we suddenly saw a triangle shaped flying vehicle with three bright/yellow lights in each corner, that seemed like there was some light coming from the middle. There was a light at the back of the vehicle on top and at the middle, it seemed to blink red. It flew right over us and just kept going. Almost no sound came from it but there was a "hum" like a vacuum cleaner. It flew rather low as well, we could see its shape clearly but at the same time it was kind of blurry/translucent. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Spain Light

BARCELONA -- I was in my living room looking through the window, when I saw a little light in the sky that started changing directions and moving at different speeds. Suddenly much closer two big orange glowing lights flew synchronized around the area for over 30 seconds. I went running with my girlfriend to the roof of the building, but when we got there, we didn't find them. It was really weird. Thanks to MUFON CMS

UK/Isle of Man

On November 30, 2012, I only saw these two triangle shaped objects when I put the photo on my computer.

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

UK/England

ORPINGTON -- I was lying in my bed at 10:55 PM; on November 19, 2012, when I saw several lights reflect onto my wall from my window. Car lights can cause this but these were extremely bright and went on for a few minutes, so I looked out of the window and over the treeline was a huge anti-riot armored tank like vehicle. It was kind of translucent hovering off the ground and covered with random lights. It was about 16 foot high and about the size of 4 carriages long. It was moving very slowly and was kind of shimmering. It gave off a low pitched whirling noise like a large jet engine. Eventually it moved away out of my vision, but the noise remained at the same volume for a while until it suddenly went silent. It definitely wasn't a train unless they've developed huge armored floating trains made out of shimmering water and random flashing yellow lights. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

UK/Scotland Circle

CUMNOCK -- On November 19, 2012, at 10:55 PM; we saw weird lights going from west to east for thirty minutes in Ayrshire, Scotland.

Tijdservaring van een Nederlands astronaut

Tijdservaring van een Nederlands astronaut

Vrije vertaling van een voordracht in het kader van TEDx Amsterdam gehouden door de Nederlandse Professor Dr Wubbo Ockels

Titel : are we cosmic or are we earthlike :zijn we cosmisch of zijn we aards!

Hypothese: tijd is een creatie van leven in samenspel met graviteit

Ik leef dus de tijd loopt verder

We kunnen zelfs beweren: onze tijd wordt gecreëerd door ons leven in overeenstemming met onze graviteit dit wil ook betekenen dat in een systeem met verschillende graviteit verschillend leven een verschillend tijdsbegrip creëert. Dit leidt ook tot verschillende perceptie van de cosmos.

We zien de kosmos alleen vanuit ons tijdsbegrip en daardoor slechts een gedeelte van deze kosmos. We zien een fractie ervan en het andere deel niet (duistere materie?).

We leven in een soort chronocentrisme en bekijken alles enkel vanuit onze eigen tijdsperceptie. We zijn opgegroeid in deze aardse levensomgeving en voor ons brein is het mogelijk het begrip tijd te creëren : een tijd in samenhang met onze aardse graviteit . Dat onze hersenen het begrip tijd maken is best aan te tonen met volgend verhaal : in ons brein komt informatie binnen langs bvb. 2 wegen namelijk de ogen en voor graviteit de otholith, het evenwichtsorgaan achter de oren. Acceleratie ( in m/sec/sec) wordt gedetecteerd door het otholith terwijl informatie via de ogen wordt doorgegeven over beweging (m/sec) . Het centraal zenuwstelsel moet nu uit die 2 verschillende informaties iets zinnigs maken en kan dit doen door het begrip tijd (sec) te creëren. Alleen het begrip tijd is voor beide binnenkomende signalen aanneembaar . Het conflict tussen m/sec/sec en m/sec is daarmee opgelost.

Het is dus onze tijd in onze graviteit in ons leven!

Onze hersenen beschikken dus over een uniek programma , dat echter niet feilloos werkt. Kijkend naar de horizon naar een gebouw geeft de indruk dat dit groter wordt naarmate men het dichterbij nadert al weet men dat de afmetingen van het gebouwd zich niet wijzigen. Het gevaar bestaat dat ditzelfde programma ons kan bedriegen.

Een meting van de lichtsnelheid wordt waargenomen als constant ,hoe men de metingen ook uitvoert en dit is ook zo zelfs al bewegen we ons met grote snelheid . De reden is dat , cosmisch gezien de afstand vastligt , maar dat we deze meting uitvoeren in ons tijdsverloop of we nu in stilstand of in beweging zijn : op het eerste gezicht onzinnig maar wel degelijk theoretisch aangetoond .

We proberen alles te meten in onze tijd!

De lichtsnelheid is constant omwille van onszelf: we reizen als het ware met de lichtsnelheid.

Dit kan ook een serieuze ontgoocheling opleveren voor onze astronomen en verklaart wellicht ook waarom zoveel duistere massa wordt waargenomen in het heelal. De constante lichtsnelheid zoals wij die kennen uit ons chronocentrisch gedrag kan wel eens een andere waarde hebben voor niet-chronocentrische entiteiten (tijdsreizigers?).

Destijds is onze beschaving, met succes, maar met vallen en opstaan afgeraakt van de idee dat het centrum van het heelal achtereenvolgens onze aarde (geocentrisme) ,de zon (heliocentrisme ) en nu onze tijd (chronocentrisme) zou zijn. Het doorbreken hiervan zou weleens een breder zicht kunnen verschaffen van het ons omringend universum waardoor het mogelijk wordt het voor ons tot nu toe onzichtbare overgrote gedeelte waar te nemen en op die manier signalen te kunnen ontvangen van een voor ons verborgen gebleven intelligent leven.

Mijn eigen reactie is: onwillekeurig doet dit me denken aan vragen ¨wat is uw tijdscyclus ¨ uit ufologisch onderzoek.

Onderzoek naar tijdsanomaliën bij UFO fenomenen

Onderzoek naar tijdsanomaliën bij UFO fenomenen

In de geschiedenis van de ufologie wordt men geconfronteerd met vragen naar de tijd in de zin van ¨wat is uw tijdscyclus ¨ , ¨in welke tijd zijn we¨en de belofte ¨we komen terug in tijd¨. Deze vragen worden gesteld door de ons benaderende entiteiten en duiden erop dat ze de tijd anders dan wij beleven. De contacten zijn meestal van korte duur en geven de indruk dat ze geobsedeerd zijn door het begrip ¨tijd¨. Ze hebben blijkbaar problemen zich aan te passen aan ons tijdsgebeuren. Vermoedelijk gaat het om tijdsreizigers die zich proberen aan te passen aan ons tijdsruimte continuüm. Om zulke reis te ondernemen is het absoluut noodzakelijk exact te kunnen bepalen naar welke tijdsperiode men terug wil en de plaats te kennen waar de trip zal eindigen.

Manipulatie van de tijd opent ook de deur naar reizen in de ruimte. Albert Einstein heeft theoretisch aangetoond dat ruimte en tijd één geheel vormen en als men tijd manipuleert dit ook invloed heeft op de ruimte. Terugkeer naar hun eigen thuisbasis in de toekomst moet gebeuren in een tijdsvenster waarin dit mogelijk is . Het is dus logisch dat men het tijdsverloop hiervoor nauwkeurig moet kennen met zijn impact op de terugkeercoördinaten.

Een ander element van zeer groot belang is belangrijk: deze heeft rechtstreeks impact op het verloop van de tijd , gekend als tijdsdilatie. Dit effect is aanwezig en aantoonbaar door het ¨slow motion¨gedrag van de chrononauten door een waarnemer buiten de invloedsfeer van de Ufo. Tijdsdilatie is des te groter naarmate gravitatie sterker is . (algemene relativiteitstheorie van Einstein).

Deze sterke gravitatievelden zijn waargenomen bij nabije ontmoetingen in de nabijheid van Ufo´s : zeer traag beginnen draaien van pompen zo men de indruk had van stilstand , spraakvervormingseffecten zodat er in ons tijdsverloop serieuze slow-motion effecten optreden.

Ook uit de ontvoeringsverhalen zijn tijdsvertragingen van klokken en slowmotion bekend en door de slachtoffers gemeld.

Uit dit alles bij mekaar genomen kan men zich stilaan een idee gaan vormen wat er zo allemaal al gebeurd .Al deze gemelde effecten kunnen perfect verklaard worden met de ons tot nu toe bekende fysische wetten en in het bijzonder met de algemene relativiteitstheorie van A. Einstein. Deze toont aan dat het theoretisch mogelijk is aan tijdreizen te doen.

De invloed van gravitatie is duidelijk aangetoond op zowel het tijdsgebeuren als op de coördinaten van het ruimtegebeuren in ons tijdsruimte continuüm. Het komt er op aan middelen te creëren om hiervan gebruik te maken.

Alle Ufo waarnemingen van het type ¨contact¨ wijzen in de richting dat er een intelligentie aan het werk is die in staat is tijd ( dus ook ruimte) te manipuleren en die probeert hun tijdscyclus aan te passen aan de onze met de bedoeling te communiceren. Het tijdsbegrip zoals we dit ondergaan is hen blijkbaar niet zo goed gekend . Wij zitten voor hen vast in de tijd die in één richting verloopt. Het tijdsbegrip dat we blijkbaar zelf creëren

Wubbo Ockels , een Nederlands astronaut ( Space Shuttle Challanger 1985) bespreekt hierover in een merkwaardige voordracht voor TEDx in Amsterdam (2011) het tijdsbegrip bij de mens en komt tot de verrassende vaststelling dat we tijd zelf scheppen in ons hersenen. In zijn voordracht ¨zijn we cosmisch of aards¨ verdedigt hij zijn hypothese op een merkwaardige manier als zijnde¨Tijd is een creatie van Leven in samenspel met Graviteit¨ Het is onze tijd gecreëerd door ons leven in overeenstemming met onze gravitatie. Hieruit blijkt dat gravitatie wel degelijk bepalend is voor ons tijdsverloop en dat het tijdsbegrip alleen bestaat voor levende materie.

Communicatie kan lukken met andere intelligentiën chrononauten als we er in slagen nieuwe technologiën te ontwikkelen die tijdsmanipulatie toelaten .Tot nu toe zijn me slechts een 2-tal technisch realiseerbare technologiën bekend die dit toelaten voor reizen naar het verleden en naar de toekomst te weten :

Time Warping Fields gepromoot door Dr David Anderson en Circulating Light Beams gepromoot door Dr Ron L Mallett

De overige tot nu gekende mogelijkheden laten alleen toe naar het verleden te reizen en ook terug.

Is this a UFO? What do you think that the image on the video is?

Dear Peter,

Here is one of my most intriguing cases.

Hope you enjoy it.

Here are the links to both parts of the UFO video.

Fox, I Will Let You In On A Secret: "UFOs" Beat "Jesus"!

http://devoid.blogs.heraldtribune.com/13421/ufos-to-the-ratings-rescue/

UFOs to the ratings rescue?

The newsroom at Fox31 in Denver was so stunned by the response its UFO coverage provoked on Nov. 8 that it actually did a followup (!) last week. “We’ve heard from hundreds of people from all over the world,” Ron Zappolo, the buoyed anchor, told viewers.

Fox31's UFO reporting from Denver has instigated a vigil of photographers angling for additional images of The Great Taboo/CREDIT: hereandnow.wbur.org

But really? Seriously? Surprised at worldwide interest in UFOs when the acronym search dings 234 million hits on Google? Granted, that’s only a fraction of the 3 billion-plus returns tallied by punching “sex” into the search engine, but hey, “UFOs” beat “Jesus” by a whopping 83 million. De Void’s guessing the response was due to the fact that Fox31, aka KDVR, actually made an effort to apply a little journalism to the mystery. And KDVR was so stoked it shared the emails and voice messages and photos that came rolling in after Heidi Hemmat’s initial report. Clearly, the volume and intensity of the feedback threw her for a loop.

“People have questioned my journalistic integrity,” she remarked during the followup. “People either believe it or they don’t or they think I’m just a jerk who’s out there, y’know, shooting flies and making it up and telling people it’s UFOs, but I’m not.”

Welcome to The Great Taboo Club, man. In summary: Hemmat’s report sprang from footage provided by an anonymous source who pointed out oblique little blips zipping through mid-day skies when he slowed his otherwise unremarkable footage to a crawl. He argued the objects were flying so fast they couldn’t be seen in real time. Hemmat took Mr. X up on his challenge that the UFOs appeared at reliable intervals, and her photographer proceeded to capture UFO footage of his own. She also consulted an aviation authority who eliminated conventional aircraft, birds and bugs from the suspect list.

A ton of viewers weren’t buying the no-bug theory and evidently hammered Hemmat with you’re-an-idiot critiques, so she enlisted a puzzled entomologist to review the images. The entomologist’s verdict: “I don’t believe it’s an insect.”

“It’s unexplained, we’ve talked to all the experts,” Hemmat stated at the end of her second piece as she solicited viewer suggestions. “I don’t know what else to do.”

Great instincts, but let’s be clear. No, you didn’t talk to all the experts. Please interview more than one. Also: Those platoons of amateur videographers you showed standing watch at Federal Heights, the prescribed vista for shooting UFOs — have they caught anything? Did you look at their footage? And sorry, you DO know what else to do, you even mentioned it on the show: conduct some triangulating camera work. The good news is, the story’s getting a toe-hold with the MSM; even an east coast NPR station found it compelling enough for a decent segment.

Memo to Fox 31: If you’re serious about sliding down this sucking black rabbit hole, broaden your scope and check out journalist Leslie Kean’s report on the Chilean UFO footage first. Same buggie issues, no resolution. But maybe the Denver footage will contain something unique and quantifiable. Better yet: Four days remain before ratings month ends Friday. Just play it straight, keep pounding, and your competitors will be whiteboarding their own UFO coverage come February.

RECENT UFO ACTIVITY NEAR MALMSTROM AFB's ICBM SITES

All,

My latest article is up at my website:

http://www.ufohastings.com/articles/ufos-reported-near-malmstrom-afbs-nuclear-missile-sites-in-september-2012

The title and first few paragraphs have been inserted below. In my view, these are significant developments.

BTW, I will be interviewed by journalist George Knapp on Coast to Coast on November 18th. Col. Charles Halt will be the guest for the first hour; I will be on the remainder of the program.

UFOs Reported Near Malmstrom AFB’s

Nuclear Missile Sites in September 2012:

Two V-Shaped Craft Sighted Southeast of Oscar Flight Launch Facility O-03

On September 19th, at 10:19 pm., the Fergus County, Montana Sheriff’s Office received a call from an individual reporting a strange sight in the sky. The key passage in the official log entry reads:

CENTRAL MONTANA DISPATCH ADVISED OF A CALL FROM JENNIFER STYER WHO REPORTED SEEING 2 V-SHAPED OBJECTS WITH ORANGE LIGHTS FLYING VERY LOW NORTHWEST OF ROY. JENNIFER WANTED TO KNOW IF THEY MIGHT BE AIR FORCE AIRCRAFT...

DISPATCH CALLED MALMSTROM WHO STATED THAT THEY HAVE NO AIRCRAFT OUT BY ROY TONIGHT...

The small town of Roy is approximately one mile west-northwest of Malmstrom’s Oscar-01 Missile Alert Facility (MAF), and underground Launch Control Center, where two officers electronically monitor ten Minuteman-III nuclear missiles—scattered around the surrounding countryside in subterranean silos—waiting to unleash them, if ever ordered to do so by the President of the United States.

I first learned of recent UFO sightings in north-central Montana when two of them, occurring on September 21st, were posted at the National UFO Reporting Center’s website three days later. Because I was scheduled to lecture at the University of Montana on October 9th, I decided to visit the region where the sightings occurred immediately thereafter, to see what might be uncovered. That scouting trip led to the Fergus County Sheriff’s Office, where I found the record of Jennifer Styer’s call in their blotter.

I then drove to Roy and met with her and some of her neighbors—townspeople and ranchers—who had seen UFOs over the years. Significantly, a number of them told me that Air Force activity—both security patrols and the presence of missile maintenance vans—has dramatically increased in recent weeks.

These persons have lived in or near the town for decades; they know what is routine and what is not. Apparently, this heightened activity began around the time of Styer’s sighting of two V-shaped craft flying toward her from the direction of Oscar Flight’s O-03 missile site, some four miles distant.

"Please, SAM, Share It Now!" "Now Now!"

http://m.npr.org/story/165513016

Big News From Mars? Rover Scientists Mum For Now

NASA/JPL-Caltech

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity dug up five scoops of sand from a patch nicknamed "Rocknest." A suite of instruments called SAM analyzed Martian soil samples, but the findings have not yet been released.

Published: November 20, 2012

by Joe Palca

Scientists working on NASA's six-wheeled rover on Mars have a problem. But it's a good problem.

They have some exciting new results from one of the rover's instruments. On the one hand, they'd like to tell everybody what they found, but on the other, they have to wait because they want to make sure their results are not just some fluke or error in their instrument.

It's a bind scientists frequently find themselves in, because by their nature, scientists like to share their results. At the same time, they're cautious because no one likes to make a big announcement and then have to say "never mind."

The exciting results are coming from an instrument in the rover called SAM. "We're getting data from SAM as we sit here and speak, and the data looks really interesting," John Grotzinger, the principal investigator for the rover mission, says during my visit last week to his office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. That's where data from SAM first arrive on Earth. "The science team is busily chewing away on it as it comes down," says Grotzinger.

SAM is a kind of miniature chemistry lab. Put a sample of Martian soil or rock or even air inside SAM, and it will tell you what the sample is made of.

Grotzinger says they recently put a soil sample in SAM, and the analysis shows something earthshaking. "This data is gonna be one for the history books. It's looking really good," he says.

Grotzinger can see the pained look on my face as I wait, hoping he'll tell me what the heck he's found, but he's not providing any more information.

So why doesn't Grotzinger want to share his exciting news? The main reason is caution. Grotzinger and his team were almost stung once before. When SAM analyzed an air sample, it looked like there was methane in it, and at least here on Earth, some methane comes from living organisms.

But Grotzinger says they held up announcing the finding because they wanted to be sure they were measuring Martian air, and not air brought along from the rover's launchpad at Cape Canaveral.

"We knew from the very beginning that we had this risk of having brought air from Florida. And we needed to diminish it and then make the measurement again," he says. And when they made the measurement again, the signs of methane disappeared.

Grotzinger says it will take several weeks before he and his team are ready to talk about their latest finding. In the meantime he'll fend off requests from pesky reporters, and probably from NASA brass as well. Like any big institution, NASA would love to trumpet a major finding, especially at a time when budget decisions are being made. Nothing succeeds like success, as the saying goes.

Richard Zare, a chemist at Stanford University, appreciates the uncomfortable position John Grotzinger is in. He's been there. In 1996, he was part of a team that reported finding organic compounds in a meteorite from Mars that landed in Antarctica. When the news came out, it caused a huge sensation because finding organic compounds in a Martian rock suggested the possibility at least that there was once life on Mars.

"You're bursting with a feeling that you want to share this information, and it's frustrating when you feel you can't talk about it, "says Zare.

It wasn't scientific caution that kept Zare from announcing his results. It was a rule many scientific journals enforce that says scientists are not allowed to talk about their research until the day it's officially published. Zare had to follow the rules if he wanted his paper to come out.

He did break down and tell his family. "I remember at the dinner table with great excitement explaining to my wife, Susan, and my daughter, Bethany, what it was we were doing," says Zare. And then he experienced something many parents can relate to when talking to their kids.

"Bethany looked at me and said, 'pass the ketchup.' So, not everybody was as excited as I was," he says.

Zare says in a way, scientists are like artists. Sharing what they do is a big part of why they get out of bed in the morning.

"How many composers would actually compose music if they were told no one else could listen to their compositions? How many painters would make a painting if they were told no one else could see them?" says Zare. It's the same for scientists. "The great joy of science is to be able to share it. And so you want to say, 'Isn't this interesting? Isn't that cool?' "

RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:

This is MORNING EDITION from NPR News. Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne.

LINDA WERTHEIMER, HOST:

And I'm Linda Wertheimer.

Scientists working on NASA's six-wheeled rover on Mars have a problem, but it's a good problem. They have some exciting new results from one of the rover's instruments. On the one hand, they'd like to tell everybody what they found, but on the other, they have to wait want to make sure their results are not just some fluke or error in their instrument.

NPR's Joe Palca has started a new beat, which began as a series called Joe's Big Idea, where he explores the minds and motivations of scientists and inventors. Today, he reports on what rover scientists are going through as they wait to confirm their new discovery.

JOE PALCA, BYLINE: The lead scientist for the Mars rover mission is John Grotzinger. I interviewed him in his office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena last week. While I was setting up my equipment, Grotzinger was glued to his computer screen.

JOHN GROTZINGER: We're getting data from SAM as we sit here and speak.

PALCA: SAM is a kind of mini chemistry lab.

GROTZINGER: And the data looks really interesting. The science team is busily chewing away on it.

PALCA: Put a sample of Martian soil or rock or even air inside SAM and it will tell you what the sample's made of. Right now, SAM is working on a Mars soil sample, and Grotzinger says the results are earth-shaking.

GROTZINGER: This data is going to be one for the history books. It's looking really good.

PALCA: Grotzinger can see the pained look on my face as I wait, hoping he'll tell me what the heck he's found.

GROTZINGER: I know I'm killing you.

(LAUGHTER)

PALCA: So why is Grotzinger being coy? Well, scientists tend to be cautious. They know that promising results can disappear when you repeat a measurement. Grotzinger and his team were almost stung once before.

When SAM analyzed an air sample, it looked like there was methane in it. And at least here on Earth, some methane comes from living organisms. So maybe the methane came from something living on Mars? Well, Grotzinger and his colleagues wanted to be darn sure they were measuring Martian air and not air brought along from the rover's launch pad at Cape Canaveral.

GROTZINGER: We knew from the very beginning that we had this risk of having brought air from Florida. And we needed to diminish it and then make the measurement again.

PALCA: And when they made the measurement again, the signs of methane disappeared. Grotzinger says it'll take several before he and his team are ready to talk about their latest finding. In the meantime, he'll fend off requests from pesky reporters and probably from NASA brass as well.

Like any big institution, NASA would love to trumpet a major finding, especially at a time when budget decisions are being made. Nothing succeeds like success, as the saying goes.

Lots of scientists can appreciate what John Grotzinger is going through. Richard Zare is one of them.

RICHARD ZARE: You're bursting.

PALCA: Zare is a chemist at Stanford University. In 1996, he was part of a team that reported exciting findings from a meteorite from Mars that landed in Antarctica.

ZARE: You're bursting with a feeling that you want to share this information, and it's frustrating when you feel you can't talk about it.

PALCA: Zare and his colleagues found organic compounds in the meteorite and that caused a huge sensation since finding organic compounds in a Martian rock suggested the possibility at least that there was once life on Mars.

It wasn't scientific caution that kept Zare from announcing his results. It was a rule many science journals enforce that says scientists aren't allowed to talk publicly about their research until the day it's officially published. Zare had to follow the rules if he wanted his paper to come out. He did break down and tell his family.

ZARE: I remember around the dinner table with great excitement explaining to my wife Susan and my daughter Bethany what it was we were doing.

PALCA: And then he experienced something many parents can relate to when talking to their kids.

ZARE: Bethany looked at me and said, pass the ketchup. So, not everybody was as excited as I was.

PALCA: Zare says in a way scientists are like artists, sharing what they do is a big part of why they get out of bed in the morning.

ZARE: How many composers would compose music if they were told no one else could listen to their compositions? How many painters would make a painting if they were told no one else could see them.

PALCA: Zare says it's the same for scientists.

ZARE: The great joy of science is to be able to share it. And so you want to say, look at this. Isn't this interesting? Isn't that cool?

PALCA: For now though, we'll have to wait to see what's got Mars rover scientists itching to say what they found.
