Was Perhaps Some PsyOps A La Uri Geller Involved?

The Rendlesham Forest Incident - Official Website "I've gone on record saying Rendlesham might be the turning point in history that leads to the explanation of the UFO phenomenon" -Nick Pope, Directorate of Defence Security, Ministry of Defence

, also known as 'Britain's Roswell', is undoubtedly one of the best documented and most significant military encounters with a Craft of Unknown Origin or UFO. It is also a case that involved very credible witnesses, trained (USAF) United States Air Force observers and security police. 

The incident spanned three days in 1980. Rendlesham Forest is a large pine forest, east of Ipswich, in Suffolk, England. Nearby are the twin NATO air bases, RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge; at the time both bases were being leased to the United States Air Force. Several UFO incidents, including multiple-witness sightings by military personnel, ground traces, and radioactive anomalies were reported from Rendlesham forest.

According to USAF security patrolmen on duty, "the object was described as being metallic in appearance and triangular in shape, approx. 2-3 meters across the base... it illuminated the entire forest with a white light, and had a pulsing red light on top and a bank(s) of blue lights underneath." In November, 2002, the British Ministry of Defense released the "Rendlesham File" of documents related to and confirming the Rendlesham Forest incident.

Filer's Files #30 2013 - Helen Thomas UFO Advocate Dies, UFO symposium: participants urge open-mindedness

Filer's Files # 30 - 2013

 

 

Photo of disc taken over Dayton, Wyoming on July 19, 2013

George A. Filer III New Jersey State Director

MUFON Eastern Region Director

www.nationalUFOcenter.com/

July 24, 2013

The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The weekly intelligence report provides you with information on the latest sightings and UFO news that you need to understand the world situation. The Institute now provides advanced research and consultation on a wide range of subjects and help for CEO’s to successfully run their companies.

In special reports, this week’s files cover: New Royal Baby is Prince George, Prince Phillip Has Interest in UFOs, Helen Thomas UFO Advocate Dies, Astronaut Mitchell UFOs are Real, UFO from International Space Station, Oceans and Structures on Mars, Advanced Space Research, At UFO symposium, participants urge open-mindedness, and Listen to Craig Campobasso on the Stargate Roundtable Thursday Night at 10 PM EST hosted by Marietta Pickett

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: California, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

Sightings of UFOs were also reported in: Australia, Canada, Columbia, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Romania, Singapore, 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 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 20,000 + 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 and my two beautiful daughters Elizabeth Lynn died March 8, 2013 and Dr. Victoria Anne Filer died April 27, 2013.

Special Reports

New Royal Baby is Named Prince George

Prince William and Kate Middleton officially announced the name of their newborn son, who is now third in line to the throne.

An official statement said the baby, born Monday, would be known as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge. His full name is George Alexander Louis.

His family will undoubtedly teach him about the UFO phenomena...

 

Prince Phillip Has Interest in UFOs

While stationed in England in the US Air Force after intercepting a UFO, I had the privilege of dining with Prince Phillip, the husband of the Queen, and the Duke of Edinburgh at Sculthorpe RAF Base. He told five of us officers about his keen interest in UFOs and that some of his relatives had seen them. He reiterated what he had stated much earlier in the press, `There are many reasons to believe that they (UFOs) do exist. There is so much evidence from reliable witnesses.' Sunday Dispatch, London. March 28, 1954. He was promoted to Admiral of the Fleet, Field Marshal of the Army, and Marshal of the Royal Air Force. Prince Philip achieved 5,986 hours in 59 types of aircraft. He was interested in our intercept of a large UFO over the United Kingdom. Prince Philip was a long time subscriber to Flying Saucer Review magazine.

 

In his fascinating autobiography, "Sounds From Another Room", Sir Peter Horsley who was equerry (advisor) to Her Majesty the Queen and Prince Phillip for seven years devotes a lengthy chapter to the subject of UFOs, including details of his investigations into sightings reported by pilots; details which he relayed to Prince Phillip. Horsley claims he met with an extraterrestrial humanoid who wanted to meet with Prince Philip. Air Marshal Sir Peter Horsley, former Deputy Commander in Chief of Strike Command, a war hero who flew Mosquitoes against the Germans, who has held one of the highest ranks in the RAF. The top RAF generals such as General Martin believed that flying saucers were extraterrestrial vehicles from another planet whose inhabitants were trying to warn us of the perils of nuclear war.

Although it may seem surprising that a member of the royal family would have an interest in UFOs, Prince Philip is not the first. In fact his uncle, Lord Mountbatten, had similar interests. Prince Philip told us that, his uncle who raised him, Admiral Earl Mountbatten who became First Sea Lord Admiral of the British Fleet the highest rank in the Royal Navy from 1954 until 1959 was Commander of the Mediterranean Fleet in the 50s had personally seen UFOs up close.

Mountbatten shown here with President Kennedy was one of the three Supreme Allied Commanders of World War II (the others were Eisenhower and MacArthur) with a quarter million personnel under his direct command. Later he was the last Viceroy of India, who orchestrated its independence from England. Mountbatten had a keen interest in UFOs and likely discussed UFOs with the President.

In a biography by Philip Ziegler in 1985, he wrote [We were] both convinced that they come from another planet but we mutually and independently came to the conclusion that they were not 'aeroplanes' with silly little almost human pilots but are themselves the actual inhabitants: Martians, Venusians, Jupiterians or what have you. Why should life in another planet with entirely different conditions in any way resemble life on our planet?

In 1955 Lord Mountbatten investigated a UFO incident in his own back yard, literally, that put his theory to the test.

In Timothy Good's great book, “Above Top Secret,” there is a report written by Mountbatten on his investigation of a sighting on the grounds of his Broadlands Estates. Frederick Briggs, a retired British Army Sergeant, was working on the grounds, when he says he saw a large craft that looked like a child's top hovering over a field. He says a column came down from the center of the craft, and there appeared to be a humanoid figure descending with the pillar. Mountbatten states he personally interviewed Mr. Briggs and "he did not give the impression of being the sort of man who would be subject to hallucinations, or would in any way invent such a story."

Helen Thomas UFO Advocate Dies

WASHINGTON DC -- Legendary Trailblazing White House journalist Helen Thomas has died at age 92 years of age. She sat in the front row center at White House press conferences and covered ten presidents over nearly half a century. She became a legend in the industry and often exasperated government spokesmen and presidents with her pointed questions.

I had long talks with her on several occasions about UFOs and told me she would do everything she could to get the true story about UFOs and our visitors out to the public. She confided she wrote stories but her editor’s cut them before they are published.

Thomas began covering the White House for United Press International when John F. Kennedy became president in 1961 and was a fixture there until her retirement in 2010. She was the longest-serving White House journalist. NASA Astronaut Scott Carpenter had confided,

"At no time, when the astronauts were in space were they alone: there was a constant surveillance by UFOs."
A great and kind lady passed away after a long illness. She told me she was working behind the scene s to get others in her field to acknowledge UFOs exist.

President Barack Obama said that it was "not just the length of her tenure, but her fierce belief that our democracy works best when we ask tough questions and hold our leaders to account," that put her in high esteem. In a written statement, Obama called Thomas a "true pioneer" and said she kept the presidents she covered -- including himself -- on their toes.

"Helen was just a living inspiration"

Astronaut Mitchell UFOs are Real

UFO enthusiasts have received a lot of encouragement in recent evidence of an ancient  UFO sighting reported by Chinese medieval scientist Shen Kuo, as well as an affirming interview with moonwalker Edgar Mitchell that attests to his beliefs in extraterrestrial life.

 And to this day, the topic of alien life and UFO sightings are on the tip of people's minds, including Edgar Mitchell, who spoke of his convictions in the belief of alien life as well as UFOs, citing the  Roswell incident as a prime example.

"After my space flight, I was contacted by descendants of the original Roswell observers, including the person who delivered the child-sized coffins to the Air Force to contain alien bodies. Another was one of the children of the deputy sheriff who was patrolling traffic around the site," said Mitchell during a Bloomberg interview.

"They all seemed credible with their stories that the bodies found were alien."

And what does the Apollo 14 pilot think are the reasons behind a potential cover-up?

"Think of what that could mean in terms of space travel with control of UFO machinery, technology. There's a lot of money involved."

UFO from International Space Station

 

Location of sighting: International Space Station, Earth’s Orbit

This amazing catch was caught on live NASA web cam this week. The cam has literally caught hundreds maybe a thousand or more UFOs over the years. This is a very strange yellow craft. Around the craft we see the typical blur like mist that UFOs are famous for. This mist is believed to be caused by the crafts propulsion system. If you want to check out the NASA cam, the link is below, you might get lucky.

Oceans and Structures on Mars

Scientists have spotted more evidence that an enormous ocean on Mars covered much of the planet's surface billions of years ago. The latest clues were found in photos from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter circling the planet. The images show what appears to be an ancient river delta, which may have emptied into a  vast Martian ocean that inundated up to one-third of the Red Planet long ago, a new study reports.

"Scientists have long hypothesized that the northern lowlands of Mars are a dried-up ocean bottom, but no one yet has found the smoking gun," study co-author Mike Lamb, an assistant professor of geology at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, said in a statement. The small section of Aeolis Dorsa features many ridges called inverted channels, which form in river bottoms over time when gravel is deposited by flowing water. Inverted channels can linger long after the rivers that created them have evaporated, helping researchers trace the past activity of liquid  water on Mars. [ Photos: The Search for Water on Mars] Thanks to David Twichell and NASA.

- This picture appears to be a factory or some type of base on Mars. It was originally posted on a NASA site but it's been scrubbed.

It clearly shows six vents on a building spewing atmosphere or smoke from all vents. Several huge spheres may be used for mining or drawing in dark matter to be processed into an atmosphere on Mars.

Advanced Space Research

 Mr. Tompkins has extensive experience in advanced space research* involved in spacecraft and space missions. This has led to his membership in the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), and he has done extensive research into extraterrestrials and unidentified flying objects. He is preparing a six-volume autobiographical study on the subject to be released soon to be entitled Selected by Extraterrestrials. Regardless of your opinion of the UFO phenomenon, Mr. Tompkins has attacked this subject with the same energy and detail he put into building his fleet of model ships, so this highly technical document should make for a very interesting read. Bill has also spent 47 years in the Navy League of California and Oregon.

*Mr. Tompkins technical experience is extensive. It includes four years in naval intelligence studying extraterrestrial threats, twelve years as engineering section chief at the Douglas Missile and Space Division, four years as corporate director of North American Advanced Space Research, founder and chairman of the Advanced Space Concept Staff at the think tank within the TRW Space Systems, four years as program director of the 2020 advanced Anti-Sub Warfare program and was a member of the corporate headquarters Red Team at General Dynamics Corporation. He built this model of a spaceship.

At UFO symposium, participants urge open-mindedness

  Riley Snyder ( contact) Las Vegas SUN Riley Snyder

Sunday, July 21, 2013 | 4:18 p.m.

UFO art on display at the annual Mutual UFO Network Symposium at the JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort on Sunday morning. The green sculpture in the foreground, entitled "Power", was created by amateur artist Michael Harley, who said the work took several months to complete. Harley said the piece, which was priced at $600, came from his imagination and was created out of porcelain plates and LED lighting. The conference featured art from 10 different artists, each with a unique spin on alien-inspired artwork.

It's easy to stereotype the sort of people who attended the annual Mutual UFO Network Symposium in Las Vegas this weekend. After all, it takes a special kind of person to travel to Las Vegas, fork over close to $250 and sit through dozens of speeches about faster-than-light travel, alien DNA analysis, and 'new' information about 70-year-old alleged alien encounters.

But even though the topic matter seems a bit fantastical, and despite a handful of alien-encounter zealots, a large number of conference attendees were not the type of tinfoil-hat wearing crackpot conspiracy theorists that are often associated with the field of ufology, the study of unidentified flying objects.

In fact, many attendees, such as retired military medic Marc Johns, said the reason for attending the conference and studying ufology stems from a desire to use scientific methods and research to tie the subject to respected fields such as astronomy and physics.

"There's an awful lot of people out there who aren't kooks who are interested in this topic," Johns said. Johns, who traveled from Chester, England, to attend the conference, said he was more attracted to the open-mindedness of the symposium, and strongly disagreed with the sort of blind faith found in straight-up alien believers and deniers. Johns said he was much more interested in using science — collecting hard data before making any fantastical or otherworldly postulations.

Johns wasn't among the majority of conference attendees, however. Utah woman Sandra Wood claimed that demonic beings traveling in flying discs had been stalking her family and young daughter for several years, and that she was often followed by government vehicles due to her husband's work in "exposing" UFO truths.

Don Donderi, a retired university professor and conference speaker, gave an hour long speech Sunday morning much along the same lines, partially skipping over hard evidence on the actuality of alien existence, and jumping straight to alien policy decisions. How, he asked, should aliens respect and follow Earth treaties?

But jumping to such conclusions didn't sit well with 32-year old Sam Rux, an elementary school teacher from New York City and first-time attendee. Rux, who became interested in ufology as a child after seeing a friend's reaction to a UFO at a summer camp, said he wanted to keep his mind open for any unexplained phenomena — whether it's strange weather patterns, government vehicles or actual alien crafts.

Though Rux isn't as zealous about the existence of aliens as other attendees, he said he enjoyed going to the conference because it provided a rare opportunity to have open discussions and meet ufology authors. Again, he said being open-minded helps when confronted with the wide range of theories and speculation about UFOs. After all, Rux pointed out, it's a little ridiculous to assume Earth is the only planet in the universe supporting life.

"I think people should keep an open mind; there's a lot of things about space we don't know," he said. "We're not that unique."

MUFON, the nonprofit organization that organized the conference, is also invested in keeping the study of ufology as scientific as possible. The group has trained hundreds of volunteers on how to interview witnesses and file reports for possible UFOs, requiring a test on a 300-page manual, according to  the group's website. Open-mindedness plays a major role for attendees like Johns and Rux, who both indicated the importance of remaining skeptical yet open to discovering and understanding UFOs. "Don't be swayed by the media and science-fiction and blind faith," Johns said. "Do your own research.” Thanks to the Las Vegas Sun.

Listen to Craig Campobasso on the Stargate Roundtable Thursday Night at 10 PM EST hosted by Marietta Pickett

 Emmy nominated casting director Craig Campobasso is writing, producing, and directing his short film, “Stranger at the Pentagon” based on the popular UFO book about created being Valiant Thor (from Venus) who lived at the Pentagon under the Eisenhower Administration. His first book “The Autobiography of an Extraterrestrial Saga: I AM Thyron” is about the star seed program currently underway on Earth from Melchizedek. At age 26, Craig had a spiritual awakening and began receiving communications.  His ‘universally awake’ training is still active now, 27 years after initial contact. Craig met Dr. Stranges in 2002.

 Thursday, July 25th at 10PM EST - 7PM PST as this fascinating story/interview unfolds. There will be an opportunity to call in and ask questions. http://www.bbsradio.com/stargateroundtable/

 

Sightings of UFOs in the United States

 

California Light

Alcatraz Island -- While Touring I snapped a photo of the light house tower and captured the exact anomaly seen in the Big Bear City, CA photo. The details are exact and the image is identical.

 

Note: The witness is referring to a photo taken in Bear City, CA on Sept 7, 2011.
Click here to read this report.The anomaly in this photo is quite likely a lens flare. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

 

 Helendale – A streak was seen in the sky on June 16, 2013, as fighter aircraft moved through the sky with contrails that would dissolve, then would reappear higher in the sky and would then dissolve again.

Being familiar with all matter of aircraft it was unusual and simply dissolved and was lost. Thanks to MUFON CMS

 

Indiana Red Fireball

Decatur -- I was sitting on my porch watching my son and nephew when a red fireball, glowing orb suddenly ascended from the horizon about a mile away on July 18, 2013. It stopped about half way between the moon and the ground. A red, glowing ball hovered for a little a bit and then sped up, heading southeast. Now it looks white and cylindrical and gliding or floating. We continued to watch until disappeared. I called my youngest son and nephew to look and they saw it. I ran to get my other two sons and husband to see it.

 

My oldest son said it looks like a fireworks. My two sons and nephew watched and started taking pictures with their cell phones. Although the pictures does not quite show what we were witnessing, the iPhone showed white bright streaks and the LG showed bright red and yellow lights in a saucer shape. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Kentucky Sightings

Glenn writes, “I am contacting you in the hope you come to visit my farm and witness for yourself what we have been observing nightly since February 16, 2013. We were going to bed at around 1:30 am, and observed a very low, extremely bright, twinkling star that started moving and came within 200 yards of our house. We observed it though a small pair of binoculars and noticed it had red, blue, green, and yellow lights that blinked randomly.

I became frightened for my family's safety and called 911, naturally we were met with a scoffing skepticism. I never contacted any Government agency or local Law enforcement again for fear of ridicule. Over the following months our nightly sightings went from one UFO to four to 12, to as many as 50-100 in and around our farm appearing just before dusk, and leaving just before or right after dawn.”

I bought an inexpensive Sony Digital Camcorder that has worked just fine; most pictures are taken at night, but some during daylight hours. I currently have over 14,000 pictures and videos. I found I could get better look at what was behind the multi-colored lights with pictures instead of the several dozen videos I have. We have documented at least four Motherships in our area nightly that come down looking like a mass of green, yellow, and pinkish-red light. These Motherships unload 100's of smaller flying saucer type craft. I have pictures of them unloading the smaller craft and have observed them reloading in the pre-dawn hour.

I have documented at least four types of saucer type craft, a triangular type craft, a cylinder type craft, a batwing type craft, orbs, a rounded nose winged type craft, and one that kind of looks like a pretzel. I have so many pictures that I'm two months behind in cataloging them. Most people have a sighting or two, if they are lucky, we have had nightly infestations of these UFOs for six months and counting, if you want proof of UFO's you only need come here to get it.

I’ve pointed these UFO's out to several dozen important people. I see pictures and craft sketches in your Filer’s Files that match what I see.

That's why I'm asking your help in documenting this live event and showing the world that they do exist, I have many photos that show what appear to be Extra-Terrestrials on some of these craft as well. Please help me Mr. Filer. The case is under investigation by MUFON,

Idyllwild -- My 23 year old son went to Idyllwild this weekend on July 15, 2013. 

He sent this picture to me and I noticed this object that cannot be the sun because the shadows of the sun do not face towards the viewer of the picture. I thought I should send it. Thanks to MUFON CMS

 

Massachusetts Oblong Object

 HOLYOKE -- I was talking to my husband on the telephone when I noticed an oblong object approaching and crossing the Connecticut River. The shape was different from a plane and it made no sound and flew very slowly and hovered at times. I ran out on our deck as it disappeared crossing silently over my house. The next morning I noticed lots of dark burn marks on our new stone patio and shingles on the roof. Someone in the Belchertown and Amherst reported seeing the object earlier than my sighting. NOTE: The above image is a rendering. Thanks to Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org

Michigan Lights

 

Westland -- At 1:13 AM, on July 17, 2013 while out photographing stars in the southeast, I noticed on one photo an unknown object.

Missouri Light

Lees Summit – I saw a bright object in the sky at 10 PM, on July 12, 2013, that pulsated across the sky heading north where I lost it in cloud cover after a minute. The object covered a very long distance in a very short amount of time. I recorded this event and have video as well as two pictures.

 

This object was so bright it shocked me. Next to the moon, it was the brightest shiny fireball in the sky. It was like a. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Jersey Lights

 JACKSON -- Richard DeTaranto writes, “I used to be a field investigator with MUFON, now just a subscriber. I have a friend that had an experience and took a picture at 1:30 AM, on July 15, 2013. She says that she went outside, and the power went off, and she saw this. The location was in, NJ on County Line Road near Lakehurst Naval Air Station and McGuire Air Force Base. They may have had it on radar at that time? Thanks to DeTaranto,

 

 Vernon, Sussex -- On Canister Road there is Canister Reservoir with numerous sightings of craft leaving the water and entering airline flight paths, then speeding off into space from June 12, 2013 thru July. It looks like a large pyramid shaped object with rough dark black outer surface coming out of the water. Gray Ford F150's trucks with blacked out windows and no license plates park alongside the road to watch. There seems to be an underwater base for the craft located close to the Picatinny Arsenal. Note: There have been similar reports from New Jersey reservoirs for fifty years.

Ohio Triangle Lights

Grove City -- We and some partygoers saw over one hundred lights on July 6, 2013 over Interstate 270. They were flying toward my position in Obetz. A triangle moving in the same area looked like the Phoenix lights sighting. Many took videos and reported what they had seen. I am very fresh in the sighting. I grew up very close to an Air Force base and never saw anything this size. It was like one giant piece of glass. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Pennsylvania Red Spheres

JEANNETTE – I was on the 11-7 shift at work on July 21, 2013, about 1:10 am we were sitting outside on break when I noticed a red sphere appear over one of the buildings. This object was a solid red color that appeared to be brighter. I got up to get a closer look as it traveled west to northeast on a steady rise about tree level and disappeared in 30 seconds.

Then another red sphere appeared and one of the ladies on break saw this one and said, “What the hell is that? I said, “That’s why I got up to get a better look at!” We watched as it did the same thing. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Texas Orb

 CLEVELAND -- My grandma and I were driving at night and saw a glowing object hovering over trees on July 17, 2013. It looked like a star but it then glowed brighter and very slowing moved in a straight path over the trees and then disappeared. I knew it wasn’t a star it seemed brighter and bigger. Even my grandma thought it was unusual that it actually moved and disappeared over treetops. Thanks to MUFON CMS

 

Virginia Disk

CHESAPEAKE Bay Bridge Tunnel -- While crossing the bridge towards Norfolk, VA, I took this picture of a storm that was over the bay. We entered the first tunnel and when we emerged; my husband noticed a black spot in the sky. We took a couple pictures, but none turned out too well.

We argued whether or not we thought it was getting smaller or not. We entered the second tunnel and when we emerged it was gone. It wasn't until three nights later while going through pictures that we noticed the object in the storm. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Washington Red Orb

Bellingham -- At about 10 PM, I was driving down a road towards the I-5 on-ramp when I saw a red orb light that was five times bigger than a star in the southern sky on June 15, 2013. I immediately pulled off the road and grabbed my binoculars and viewed the red orb light. There was a medium gray colored looking craft where the light had been. It silently descended to 80 feet in front of me. It slowed at this point to rotate around. I had a great view of its textured metal with a large rounded front and a square rear area where two exhaust engine holes were (see sketch).

 

It was about the size of a large tall SUV. I didn’t see any windows, lights, or insignia. I felt some concern we might be its target, but then it flew east into a parking area and then north as it dropped below the tree line. With extreme precision it maneuvered itself down and executed perfect turns avoiding electrical poles, wires and street lights.

We drove around searching but could not find it. I went back four days later and discovered some woods where the UFO appeared to land in a small clearing where the grass was mashed down. I talked to neighbors who claimed their tv reception was interrupted a bit that night.
Thanks to MUFON CMS

Wisconsin Orb

 waukesha -- I was outside grilling with friends when I saw a rainbow on July 20, 2013. I took a photo and captured this UFO.

 

I took several photos but only this one caught a photo of a UFO. All photos have the same time stamp but only one has the ufo in it.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Note: May Be A Bird.

Wyoming Disc
 Dayton-- On July 19, 2013, I caught this UFO while reviewing vacation pictures. Zoom in directly above the road.
Note: This object does not appear to be a bird, airplane or insect. It bears the resemblance to a classic flying saucer with a slight protrusion on top. Analysis indicates that the photo is authentic and not fabricated.

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

 

Worldwide UFO Reports

Australia Light

 

Murgon -- As we left the house of a friend I noticed an unusual light in the sky that appeared to be hovering over on the other side of a nearby hill on June 21, 2013. I showed my children and said "There's a UFO" and they searched until locating it and agreed it was an unidentified flying object.” We watched for about two minutes as the object appeared to hover, but may have been moving directly toward us and was getting larger. I took three photos on my iPhone, but it was so far away it was not visible on the screen. When I downloaded the photos to my computer I saw alight two centimeters across and a few millimeters high. It was at least a couple of kilometers away when it disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Glenroy, Victoria -- I noticed a glowing light in the sky so I got my binoculars to have a look on July 16, 2013. I saw a glowing white UFO and two orbs flying around it. They joined up together, and after 15 minutes a plane flew by the UFO. The UFO flew near the plane very fast for 30 seconds and then returned to the same spot near my house. I was trying to take some photos as the UFO flew in and out of the clouds, I felt it was playing with me I would wave it to come out and it did. When I tried to take a photo it would go back in the clouds, but I eventually got some photos and video. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Canada Bright Light

 Scarborough, Oshawa, Cobourg – Paul Shishis writes --.There is certainly a wide spread UFO presence here in southern Ontario near Lake Ontario. I have been able to capture slow moving bright white lights repeatedly. This light was captured on film Sunday early morning on June 30, 2013, at a friend’s house at 12:48 am.

I met another Experiencer who has similar sightings and we observed a LARGE white -amber meteor coming down on an angle from northwest. Thanks to Paul Shishis.

 

Columbia Lights

BOGOTA -- I was in the balcony of my apartment in the north of the city when I went out to get some air on June 7, 2013.and see the view of the city before I go to bed when I saw on the west of the city lights that swayed in a pulsed on a disc that is bulging oval height of the structure of the ship was wide and remained static for about 7 minutes and then disappeared. Ten oval windows almost round fingertips. Registering to appreciate about 4 windows and lights emit pulsed white, green, blue and red. The color of the light was dazzling white ship. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Kazakhstan Blinking Light

Astana -- We were watching TV when we saw though the window some lights blinking on June 22, 2013, that at first we thought was fireworks. But there was no noise and it did not stop blinking. It was the shape of a big dark cloud with a blinking light. The blinking was random inside the cloud and the cloud was moving steadily south. We noticed a second cloud following and doing the same thing.

We took some pictures in the cell phone and videos with the tablet, but nothing can be seen. The second cloud flew off and we noticed a third one following the others. This time we got a green laser and pointed at it. Suddenly the random lights stopped blinking as it flew off to the south.

These were big dark clouds with blinking random stars on them. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Mexico Reddish Light

Cabo San Lucas --
There is a yellowish, slightly reddish star like object flashing in the clear sky filled with an array of stars on July 13, 2013 at 11 PM. The object is flying rather erratically in a small geographic area: up, then down, to the left, to the left again, to the right, back down, etc. Thanks to MUFON CMS 

Ovoid Romania

Vaslui -- Anca was in bed and saw flashing very bright red lights on the night of June 30th 2013. Their light was stable as at first these ships were hovering and then, they started to move slowly in groups of three or four while some remained in place. The ships seemed to be red. I clearly saw one of the ships fly above my building silently and I tried to take pictures.

They didn't make any sound. I don't know exactly at what distance was the ship, but it was enough to see clearly the ship's shape. It was ovoid and had a light color. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Singapore Craft

Singapore -- On 10 July 2013, at about 6:53 pm, an unknown object was spotted floating at a rather high attitude on a relatively clear day. The object seemed to reflect sunlight on its surface. There was a smaller object around the bigger one but the smaller object could not be seen with naked eyes. I found the object after reviewing the video file. Video was shot with full optical zoom at 70 xs. The object disappears into a cloud I waited five minutes, but the object did not re-appear. However, an unknown craft was seen around the same area of the sky where the object was earlier but my batteries were flat at that time. I could not see the shape/color/structure of the craft (with my naked eyes) as it was a long distance away. The craft disappeared after about 10 seconds. Thanks to MUFON CMS

UK/England Sightings

LEEDS -- I had just returned home from a road trip with a friend on July 15, 2013, and noticed a strange partial ring around the evening sun. I took my wife up to the top floor of our home and looked out of the window at the phenomenon and proceeded to take photos on my mobile phone (Samsung Galaxy S2). Looking at the photos there appears to be two objects that looked to be metallic and spherical. One looked to be a disk shaped solid metallic object. We did not see or hear anything at the time and there is nothing on any of the other pictures taken. Thanks to MUFON CMS

 BARNETBY -- I have recorded some really good footage of a UFO flying past on the M180 on July 9, 2013. I was videoing some flashing orbs and when I viewed the video slower there was a UFO shooting past. It is really good footage.

I slowed the video down but the objects speed and sheer oddness I cannot explain. Also in the video are three tidy dots which made out to a giant triangle. I took the photo at 12:35 PM, Tuesday afternoon driving towards Immingham from Barnetby Top on Highway M180. In the first 10 seconds after the blue lorry has gone past it flies past from left to right. Just let me know what you think as I’m quite bugged that it was broad daylight too.

Note: A bright object appears and then disappears in a few frames of the video. I did not find the dots in the form of a triangle referenced by the witness in his report. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

 Stonehenge – Jeff Rense recommended I send you this photo taken on July 19, 2013, at 14:01:35. It was only when I downloaded the pictures that I noticed this object in the sky. The shots taken seconds before and after are clear of anomalies. Birds are clearly discernible in other shots. The picture was taken with a Canon 550d Kiss X4 with Sigma 28-300 lens set to 1/200 exposure and 7.1 f/stop. Regards, Jim.

Listen to Jeff Rense and me the first Tuesday night of each month at 10 PM Eastern.

More unsettling military UFO encounters by Doc Vega. There are many interconnecting testimonies and documented incidents that tend to corroborate claims that an actual deep underground military base (DUMB) is located near Dulce, New Mexico. Aside for the decades long saga of cattle mutilations that forced ranchers like the Gomez family to leave the business due to excessive losses of cattle, the purported underground firefight between humans and alien entities reported by Phil Schneider, a government geological expert, and numerous sightings made by Native Americans living in the immediate area, more evidence continues to pour in. More...page.gif Also read: More unsettling events at Dulce Part IIpage.gif

Déjà vu, Reality Glitches, What Are the Possibilities? by Diane Tessman. We’ve all had deju vu moments, a term which means “re-seeing” or “already seen.” This experience is an anomaly in reality itself, and yet we just stop for a second and say to ourselves, “Huh?” and then go on about our daily lives. In fact, an enormous event has happened, an “ad lib” moment in quantum reality of which Schrodinger and his cat, would be proud.More...page.gif

The Curse of the Vampire; Or the Truth about Christian Fundamentalist Inspired Genocide by Pat Regan . Most of us are familiar with the dark and sinister figure of the vampire made popular by Bram Stoker and actors like Christopher Lee. We all know that the ‘undead’ are deterred by garlic and the sign of the holy crucifix. This latter point is quite interesting, yet its symbolism is really nothing to do with any sacred conflict between good and evil. More...page.gif

Mysterious Orange Creature Spotted off Long Island by Chris Holly. I found this email waiting for me today and thought it was worth asking if anyone else has seen or had an experience along the ocean coast like the one this couple had. I live along the shore and I have not seen anything like this but will start to ask around my community. If anyone knows what this creature may be please contact me at my site or through UFO Digest with the information. Below find the email and report of the ocean creature spotted off the Atlantic Ocean coast of Long Island, New York. : More...page.gif

White Orb/UFO flies over Hamilton, Ontario by Dirk Vander Ploeg. A Hamilton, Ontario witness reported the following sighting at 9:36 PM on 12 July 2012 to the MUFON database. I was driving down Main and had just made a left onto Spadina Avenue. As I was pulling up to the first set of stop signs at the first intersection on Spadina and Dunsmure Road, there was a car going to park in his/her driveway and another one coming through the intersection.

Book Review of The Kendall Stone by AJ. Due to the nature of my own research, one of the aspects of The Kendall Stone this reviewer found most interesting is; nearly everything about the story contained within its pages has been documented as having already occurred, is happening at the present moment, or is forecast – by different people across our World – to occur; and most likely, in our own lifetimes. We can therefore categorize this book not as a simple novel, but as faction: a cross between fiction and nonfiction. More...page.gif

Alien propulsion details revealed by Warren Aston. Learning how ET travels to Earth from the stars has always been one of Ufology’s biggest mysteries. And since extra-terrestrial craft began crashing - at least by the 1930’s - discovering these secrets has been a prime motive behind the military-industrial recovery of crashed craft and attempts to back-engineer them. Most UFO researchers are convinced that substantial progress has been made covertly in replicating these craft, as famously indicated by Lockheed scientist Ben Rich’s 1993 comments to the effect that the US now has the means to “take ET home.” More...page.gif

Medical Science Labeling Spiritual and ET Experiences by Tony Elliott. Our current level of medical knowledge is still at the infantile stage, simply because of their failure to recognize the spiritual and subconscious level of the science. More...page.gif

Magic of Celtic Ireland Tour 2013 from Great Mystery Tours. There is a magic about Ireland which is recognized by people worldwide, maybe because its name means Land of the Goddess Eriu. Be open to magic and it will happen! - our Celtic ancestors knew this and they are inviting you to do the same… The varied landscape of lush green meadows, mountain ranges and spectacular coastline certainly lead one to believe that this land is blessed and stories of fairy folk and leprechauns also reflect the belief that the land has guardians.

A Four Letter Word, Math by R.W. Sanders. I read an article today, published at Mail Online, that covered a paper recently published by two scientists from the University of Edinburgh. These two professors actually did some math. Now for many the word math is indeed, a four letter word. Most folks just hate math. They hated it in grade school, high school and avoided it in college. This group is very large. I understand the impulse to avoid doing math. It is very similar to avoiding the dentist. Eventually you have to use both. More...page.gif

Scarborough UFO High Above Daycare Center! by Paul Shishis. On July 13,2013 while visiting my Mother in a Daycare home in Scarborough I went outside to have a cigarette.

Dr. Marcy, Does Dr. Targ's Laser Listening Device Fit The Bill?

Hunt for alien spacecraft begins, as planet-spotting scientist Geoff Marcy gets funding

In the field of planet hunting, Geoff Marcy is a star. After all, the astronomer at the University of California at Berkeley found nearly three-quarters of the first 100 planets discovered outside our solar system. But with the hobbled planet-hunting Kepler telescope having just about reached the end of its useful life and reams of data from the mission still left uninvestigated, Marcy began looking in June for more than just new planets. He's sifting through the data to find alien spacecraft passing in front of distant stars.

He's not kidding - and now he has the funding to do it.

If intelligent life is common in the galaxy, "where is everybody?" 

Last fall, the Templeton Foundation, a philanthropic organisation dedicated to investigating what it calls the "big questions" - which, unsurprisingly, include "Are we alone?" - awarded Marcy $US200,000 to pursue his search for alien civilisations.

What astronomer Geoff Marcy doesn't hope to find: A Death Star

As far as Marcy, an official NASA researcher for the Kepler mission, is concerned, that question has a clear answer: "The universe is simply too large for there not to be another intelligent civilisation out there. Really, the proper question is: 'How far away is our nearest intelligent neighbour?' They could be 10 light-years, 100 light-years, a million light-years or more. We have no idea."

Advertisement

To answer that question Marcy has begun to sift through the Kepler data and to search the heavens for a galactic laser Internet that might be in use somewhere out there. (More on that in a bit.)

Launched in 2009, Kepler was designed as a four-year mission to detect planets - habitable or otherwise - around distant stars by measuring the dimming of those stars as orbiting bodies pass in front of them. In May, a component of the spacecraft designed to keep it pointing precisely failed, dealing a crushing blow to Marcy and his colleagues who last year convinced NASA to extend funding for the mission into 2016, which Marcy says would have allowed researchers to further refine the number of known Earthlike planets in our galactic neighbourhood.

"It's a heartbreaker," he says. "People are reacting a little bit as if a close family member died. There's this combination of severe depression and confusion, coupled with denial."

Successful so far

Kepler has been wildly successful in its four years. To date, it has found 132 exoplanets - that is, planets outside our solar system - and possibly 3216 more that await confirmation. Researchers have extrapolated from Kepler data that our Milky Way galaxy alone contains at least 100 billion exoplanets, as many planets as there are stars. Still, with the telescope - which is 40 million miles from Earth - having collected data on 150,000 star systems, researchers are only beginning to pick through all the information.

Marcy hopes that hiding within it will be hints about intelligent life abroad. What if, say, the dimming of a star that Kepler observes is caused by something even more fanciful than the passage of extrasolar planets? Something synthetic, perhaps? Marcy admits that even he's not certain what he's looking for.

"I do know that if I saw a star that winked out, then at some point it winked back on again, then winked out for a long, long time and then blinked on again, that that would be so weird," he says. "Obviously that wouldn't constitute the detection of an advanced civilisation yet, but it would at least alert us that follow-up observations are warranted."

Such an irregular pattern might signal the leisurely and unpredictable passage of massive spacecraft in front of the star. But, perhaps more likely, it might indicate the presence of a Dyson sphere, a mainstay of science fiction first proposed by physicist Freeman Dyson in 1960.

The concept is simple. The energy needs of a civilisation a thousand or a million years more advanced than our own would probably be vastly greater than those of even the most profligate earthlings. The greatest source of energy in a solar system is its star, and that energy could be captured by building a massive structure tiled with solar panels enveloping the star - the ultimate green jobs initiative.

Under the second law of thermodynamics, the structure would produce incredible amounts of waste heat in the form of infrared radiation. In September, a Penn State team led by astrophysics professor Jason Wright began searching the sky for just that by combing through data from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE. The Penn State work is also being funded by Templeton.

If Dyson spheres pop up in the data, Marcy thinks they would more likely appear as a patchwork of solar panels rather than a solid sphere. Perhaps the dimming of a star would be erratic or quasi-periodic, unlike the regular transit of planets.

To detect such aberrant dimming patterns, Marcy's Templeton grant is funding the salary of a Berkeley student to write software that will chew through the Kepler data."Writing the computer code is not easy," Marcy says. "There's no prescription in any computer science book about how to search for aliens."

Galactic laser internet

The rest of the $200,000 grant is buying Marcy time on the Keck Observatory in Hawaii, the largest telescope in the world, to search for - what else? - a galactic laser internet.

While the movie Contact, based on Carl Sagan's book of the same name, popularised the idea of aliens dozens of light-years away picking up an old telecast of the 1936 Berlin Olympics that was unintentionally transmitted into space, our civilisation has become quieter to any outside observers in recent decades. As our civilisation makes the jump from analog to digital, communication is increasingly carried by fibre-optic cables and relatively weak mobile phone repeaters rather than powerful broadcast transmitters. Rather than spilling out messy radio transmissions, Marcy posits that alien civilisations would use something much more precise and efficient than radio waves to stay connected, and lasers fit the bill. At the Keck Observatory, he hopes to spy an errant beam flashing from a distant star system, an observation that would be strikingly obvious on a spectrum.

This shift to new ways for finding E.T. is in part due to the failure of traditional SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) to pick up radio signals from deep space. Federal funding for SETI projects ended in 1995, but private benefactors have stepped up to support the search for alien radio transmissions, including Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, who has sunk more than $US30 million into a giant radio telescope array now under construction northeast of San Francisco.

Nevertheless, the silence underscores the question once posed by Nobel prize-winning physicist Enrico Fermi: If intelligent life is common in the galaxy, "where is everybody?"

Marcy admits that this so-called "Fermi paradox" poses a powerful counterargument to the prospect of success for any search for extraterrestrial intelligence. But what if, even if the chances are vanishingly remote, he is successful? More disturbingly, what if (as some respected physicists fear) he finds a Death Star?

"The first thing we do is transmit a message to them that says, 'We taste bad.' "
