The Oz Factor
Entering The Magical Realm   by Michael Jordan 

The wondrous experiences of Dorothy in the film The Wizard of Oz and Alice in her Wonderland, happened as a result of these two adventurous young ladies being whisked away into a magical realm from whence they eventually returned, unfortunately without a shred of evidence to support their experiences.  Prolific writer and researcher in the field of UFOs and related areas, Jenny Randles coined the term the 'Oz Factor', to describe the sensations experienced by those who entered this state.
In her 1988 book Abduction, Randles describes the mysterious Oz Factor as, "an induced form of sensory deprivation which seems to alter the state of consciousness of the percipient.  It can become visible as a sensation of time standing still, or interfered with, or it manifests as all sound vanishing, a very odd feeling of being isolated from our world into a magic world.  It is less easy to describe than recognise, since witnesses often refer to it without having any idea of its significance.  This underlines its importance." (Randles, p.57)
Ufologists have long been familiar with the reporting of such sensations as a prelude to UFO related experiences including witnesses to so-called abductions. 
Participants tell of feelings of disassociation and timelessness.  The impression created for the individual concerned is one of having temporarily vacated the material world with its distracting sensory input and entered a timeless, silent, dreamlike, mental state, unlike any other previously experienced.  Obviously a type of altered state of consciousness.

The records kept by UFO researchers are replete with cases involving aspects such as the paralysis of the witness, periods of missing time, the silence of the craft observed, its rapid or instantaneous disappearance and often the seeming absurdity of a lack of other witnesses, despite the vast size of the craft and the fact that it is seen in broad daylight.  These underlying patterns remain pretty standard and common to the Oz Factor, irrespective of language or location. An early example of its operation is recounted by Jenny Randles:

"It occurred one hot and thundery day in the summer of 1944.  World War II raged around the village of Le Verger, near Toulon-sur-Arroux, France, when a thirteen-year-old girl, Madeleine Arnoux, decided to risk the many Germans and resistance fighters in the woods to cycle out and pick berries.  In doing so she confronted a strange object in the grass, like a small car but dull grey in
colour.  She then noticed that small men stood beside it, no more than three feet tall and dressed in brown one-piece suits.  Feeling desperately afraid, she tried to run but was paralysed and lost all sense of time (the Oz Factor once more).  Then, inexplicably, the object had gone and the hold on her was relaxed.  She fled back to her village." (Randles, p.23)

In the same way that reports of hauntings describe how ghosts can suddenly disappear from view, not only do UFOs have the capacity to vanish in mid-air, but to disappear from radar screens as well.  In their informative and perceptive book of essays on UFOs, UFOs The Final Answer?, David and Therese Barclay include a chapter by Joseph Dormer in which he recounts the following personal experience recounted by a teacher in Rochdale, England:

"It was late November and I had just got home from college.  It was already dusk and, as my mother prepared to pull the curtains, she drew my attention to something she could see in the darkening sky.  I looked out through the window and saw this extraordinary craft, just hanging there, low in the sky, motionless and completely silent.  It was huge.  I mean it must have been about 100 feet long.  It was cylinder shaped, but rounded at the ends.  There were port holes along its entire length, and I could see figures in silver space suits moving about inside.  I couldn't believe what I was seeing.  I wanted to cry out but could not .... I mean I literally could not speak or move.  Neither of us could.  It was as if we were paralysed.  We just stood there, watching this thing as it began to glide slowly across the sky.  Then suddenly it was gone. 
It did not just move off at tremendous speed, I'm certain of that – it just vanished into thin air.  And another strange thing was that we seemed to be watching it for only a few minutes or so, yet when I looked at my watch afterwards, I found that a whole hour had gone by." (Barclay, p.130)
The confusion caused by the Oz Factor is well illustrated by a case investigated by university lecturer, Frank Johnson, in Faringdon, Oxfordshire, involving the reported abduction of a family of five, three adults and two children, travelling by car from Reading to the Gloucester area.  Following the sighting of what they thought was a bright planet, their car appeared to drive itself, passing the same scenery again and again, including a non-existent brightly lit house (obviously an imposed screen, aimed at blocking out something perhaps a little more alarming).  During this whole sequence, time appeared to unravel slowly in classic Oz Factor style.  The end of the experience was marked by the appearance of a spinning, brightly lit disc and the stunned participants found their way home, eventually finding out that they had arrived an hour later than
expected.
It would appear that in many instances, witnesses to a UFO event may experience a momentary amnesia, not realising at the time that a time-lapse had occurred.  These lapses are apparently introduced so skilfully, that the experiencer is unaware that even one second has passed.  Typically they may recall the sighting of a light or UFO, hear a sound like bees buzzing, or feel a type of numbness overcoming them, only to then find themselves in a different position in their car or journey, from what they would normally expect.

Cars that appear to assume control of themselves in silent gliding motion, passing no other traffic on the road, with their occupants seemingly mesmerised are part of the Oz experience.  One classic case involved a couple from Zimbabwe, driving from Harare to Durban.  Following the sighting of a strange light in the sky, their car appeared to assume control of itself, seeming to glide just above the surface of the road passing unreal scenery.  After covering what seemed to be a large number of kilometres, they were to find that their petrol gauge had not moved, a passage of missing time was unaccounted for and they were not where they should have been in their journey to Durban.

A peculiar silence often seems to be part of the Oz state.  Well known abductee, Betty Andreasson gives the following description of an encounter in which alien beings came into her house: "I can see a light, sort of pink right now.  And now the light is getting brighter.  It's reddish orange, and it's pulsating.  I said to the children, 'Be quiet, and quick, get in the living room, and whatever it is will go away.'  It seemed like the whole house had a vacuum over it.  Like stillness all around ... like stillness." (Fowler, p.15)

The ability to eliminate sound, or else create a mind-set in which the observer believes there is no sound, is another aspect of the Oz Factor.  The recurring phenomenon of phantom helicopters that sometimes appear in conjunction with UFOs (since the mid-seventies), may look like helicopters in many respects, but may have parts missing, be entirely black without markings and above all, may be soundless.  Ann Druffel comments, "Researchers who have studied these reports are inclined to speculate that the mystery choppers are imperfect 'imitations' of earth craft, it seems as if whatever or whoever constructs them are either deliberately falsifying some part of their appearance in order to bring the craft to witnesses' attention or simply do not care whether their constructions are perfect replicas." (Druffel & Rogo, p.155)
It's sometimes difficult for doubters of UFO phenomena to miss the opportunity to explain away the conjunction between the mental experiences of the Oz Factor and the sighting of unknown objects as merely tricks played by the mind, a temporary aberration perhaps.  If they are psychic then they can't be scientific they argue.  However , if UFOs and related phenomena are merely psychic projections or products of imagination, we are left to explain the physical traces they leave behind.  Deep impressions at landing sites, unmistakable radar traces and incisions and scars left on some experiencers, constitute just some of the physical evidence.  In his excellent book The Holographic Universe, the late Michael Talbot wrote:
"I propose that such phenomena are difficult to categorise because we are trying to hammer them into a picture of reality that is fundamentally incorrect.  Given that quantum physics has shown us that mind and matter are  inextricably linked, I suggested that UFOs and related phenomena are further evidence of this ultimate lack of division between the psychological and physical worlds.  They are indeed a product of the human psyche, but they are quite real.  Put another way, they are something the human race has not yet learned to comprehend properly, a phenomenon that is neither subjective nor objective but 'omnijective' – a term I coined to refer to this unusual state of existence (I was unaware at the time that Corbin had already coined the term imaginal to describe the same blurred surface of reality, only in the context of the mystical experience of the Sufis)." (Talbot, p.279)

There is little doubt that the pre-eminent psychologist Carl Jung, when he focused on the subject of UFOs, hoped to explain it in terms of his 'Archetype' hypothesis.  However, after evaluating the reports and case studies available, he was forced to conclude, "Unfortunately however, there are good reasonswhy
the UFO cannot be disposed of in this simple manner."
The problem posed for science is that sightings of UFOs are reported by all sections of society including specialists, whose reputations as observers, in other circumstances, would be considered unimpeachable.  In addition the phenomenon is polymorphous and can be perceived in a number of different forms.  Another major drawback is the fact that not only are we no closer to solving the intrinsic mystery of their substance since attention was first paid to the subject some sixty years ago, but it has expanded to encompass aspects and enigmas previously thought to be entirely unrelated.
It would appear then that the Oz Factor is a state of sensory deprivation in which the mind, separated from normal stimuli, concentrates its focus inwardly.  As humans, we are either born with, or rapidly develop the ability to form a screen or barrier which can sometimes protect us from unwanted intrusion.  Whether this form of traumatic amnesia, with the brain responding to events so utterly different to our normal cultural experience, or mechanically induced as a direct result of the UFO experience, the net result is to leave the experiencer in a state of amnesia.  If we accept that the experience is totally hallucinatory, we are faced with a major paradox.  How can any hallucination leave ground and radar traces, cause radiation burns and affect the workings of aircraft and automobile engines?

As you would expect, researchers have put forward a number of theories to explain the occurrence of Oz Factor phenomena in conjunction with some UFO experiences, and the possible reasons for the induction of such a state.  There is much agreement on the central notion of an attempt to establish contact through consciousness.  How ironic that while SETI desperately searches for signs of technological contact from without, other energies may be trying to contact us through our consciousness!

Could the temporary disassociation from the barriers of time and space experienced, be designed to exploit an opening, some sort of gap in time, through which 'actual' information may slip through to our consciousness?  Perhaps contact designed to bring us to our senses about the omnijective, to use Talbot's term, holographic nature of the universe that we inhabit.  A kind of awakening from the spell of matter.  Interestingly, it is known that some animals enter a type of Oz Factor state, in which they appear drugged, many hours before major earth tremors in their locality.  Information about this future event is relayed to them during this state.

Well known French astrophysicist and UFO researcher Dr Jacques Vallee, in connection with the contact theory, writes in Messengers of Deception:

"At close range, the UFO phenomenon acts as a reality transformer, triggering for the witness a series of symbolic displays that are indistinguishable from reality.  These displays, which frequently begin with a bewildering series of blinking coloured lights of extraordinary intensity, induce a state of intense confusion for the subjects who are vulnerable to the insertion of new thoughts and new visual experiences."

It is as if the confusion and sudden removal from reality as we know it, provides an avenue for re-framing our total picture and effecting changes in our viewpoint.  Vallee continues:
"What we see emerging in the UFO phenomenon is not gradual contact but rather gradual control – of our beliefs, expectations, fears, hopes and dreams.  We know from behavioural psychology that the best schedule of reinforcement is one that combines periodicity with unpredictability (citing the intense patterns of UFO activity followed by quiet periods when it seems to have gone away entirely).  Learning is then slow but continuous, it leads to the highest level of adaptation.  And it is irreversible.  It is interesting to observe that the pattern of UFO waves has the same structure as a schedule of reinforcement."

The idea of receiving information about the true nature of reality, is a recurring one amongst writers and researchers of this subject.  Michael Murphy in The Future of the Body, puts it very succinctly:
"Are these 'somethings' – aspects of a greater existence, distorted perhaps by the subject's perceptual filters?  Are they first glimpses of a 'larger earth'?  To a frog with its simple eye the world is a dim array of greys and blacks.  Are we like frogs in our limited sensorium, apprehending just part of the universe that we inhabit?  Are we as a species now awakening to the reality of multi-dimensional worlds in which matter undergoes subtle reorganisations in some sort of hyperspace?  Is visionary experience analogous to the first breathings of early amphibians?  Are we ourselves coming ashore to a 'larger earth'?"

Michael Grosso, writing in Mind at Large, contends that there is a relationship between these different forms of contact with human consciousness, originating from a single source of intelligence which makes use of whatever aperture it can locate to instruct our collective mind and modify our basic ideas of the workings of reality.
With a difference of opinion from those researchers who support the concept of contact from alien intelligences, lie those who maintain that UFOs are a type of psychic projection.  They contend that as our knowledge and belief system changes so are we creating a psychic window through which those energies can interact.  The act or state of contact is a real event, but it reflects traumas submerged in the subject's unconscious.  Dr Kenneth Ring argues that UFOsare imaginal (not to be confused with imaginary) experiences:
"They are similar not only to the confrontations with the real but mind-created world individuals experience during NDEs, but also to those mythic realities shamans encounter during journeys through the subtler dimensions.  They are in short, further evidence that reality is a multi-layered and mind-generated hologram."
In The UFO Experience, one of the founding fathers of UFO research, Dr Allan Hynek, had this to say:
"It seems to us that rather than being extraterrestrial in any simple sense, UFOs could well be part of the same larger intelligence which has shaped the tapestry of religion and mythology since the dawn of human consciousness."

Does the state of mind described by the term the Oz Factor, then, create the bridge necessary for this type of contact?  Can we under the right circumstances attract the imaginal into our three-dimensional world?  In response to these questions Michael Talbot writes:
"At present we simply do not know, but in a world that is comprised less of solid objects travelling in space and time and more of ghostly holograms of energy sustained by processes that are at least partially connected to human consciousness, such events may not be as impossible as they appear .... the evidence suggests that we are still children when it comes to understanding the true nature of time.  And like all children poised on the threshold of adulthood, we should put aside our fears and come to terms with the way the world really is."

Tracking UFOs by Satellite
By Simon Harvey-Wilson 

For most of the cold war the superpowers' ground and satellite early warning systems would have needed to be able to track UFOs in order to distinguish them from nuclear missiles.  It would have been in neither side's interests to start World War III because for example NATO mistook a flight of five UFOs flying westwards from Russia for the first salvo of a nuclear strike against the West.

Detailed information on these early warning systems remains classified despite the end of the cold war.  This may be one reason why Western nations have been reluctant to acknowledge the reality of UFOs.  If they did admit their existence, the scientific community and those who had swallowed the 'They don't exist' line might demand to see the radar evidence.  But how could the Pentagon provide such proof and still keep the extraordinary capabilities of such a surveillance infrastructure secret?  Yet without providing such evidence their claims would be no more convincing than those of the UFO community who likewise cannot produce any radar tapes.  The worldwide amateur UFO research community probably does not own a single radar set, air traffic control computer, jet fighter, or satellite between them.  All such hardware is in the hands of governments who so far have refused to use them to settle the UFO question.

I believe that Western governments would rather that the public knew as little as possible about their tracking systems, firstly for national security reasons and secondly because, once the public knew how extensive and sophisticated they were, they would realise that they were almost certainly capable of proving whether UFOs exist or not within little more than twenty-four hours.  Instead we are being asked to believe that such governments have apparently discovered nothing conclusive in this field for fifty years.

Where are these early warning systems, what can they do and where does information about them come from?  The first thing to point out is that all the information in this article comes from open sources.  Anyone can look it up in the library or on the Internet, provided you know where to look.  Writers and scholars who specialise in this subject call it 'Strategic Studies'.  My first source is a book called An Illustrated Guide To Space Warfare by David Hobbs, who was a researcher at Aberdeen University's Centre for Defence Studies.  Three other sources are The Ties That Bind: Intelligence Cooperation Between the UKUSA Countries by Jeffrey T. Richelson & Desmond Ball; Pine Gap by Des Ball; and A Base For Debate: The US, Satellite Station at Nurrungar also by Des Ball.  Professor Desmond Ball has been the head of the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre at the Australian National University, and Dr Richelson has been a consultant and Senior Fellow at the National Security Archive in the USA.  I assume therefore that they know what they are talking about.  It should also be emphasised that none of these books mentions UFOs.

But why, you might ask, haven't these writers had their knuckles rapped for releasing classified information?  As far as I can gather the answer is because all the information they discuss is derived from open sources and is either out of date or sufficiently vague so as not to be of any threat to national security.  Nevertheless, out of date information is still relevant to the UFO debate.  If it can be shown that the world's superpowers had the equipment to track and therefore research UFOs thirty or more years ago, then it is most unlikely that today's equipment is any less capable, which suggests that they have been concealing their knowledge of the UFO phenomenon for all that time.

How would you track UFOs if you had an almost unlimited budget?  We know that some UFOs can be picked up by radar.  There are numerous reports available which attest to that.  Most civilian airport radars have a limited range and it is not the job of civilian air traffic controllers to keep a look out for UFOs. 
Thankfully they devote their time to stopping passenger jets from crashing into each other, and most of us would prefer that they kept doing precisely that. 
However military radar plays a different role.  In theory any nation's air force is supposed to be interested in identifying everything that flies into its air space in case it turns out to be hostile.  Despite government protestations to the contrary, this would definitely include UFOs.

BALLISTIC MISSILE EARLY WARNING SYSTEM.   The United States BMEWS system is vast, complex, and has a degree of redundancy built into it so that, if one part fails or is damaged, another part can take over.  Let us deal with the ground-based systems first.  Nuclear weapons can be fired from submarines, from underground silos, from the air, and perhaps even from space.  To protect the North American continent, the USA and Canada cooperate in maintaining a huge radar shield over their combined land mass which can detect incoming missiles or craft from any direction.  Because land-based missiles from the old USSR would have probably come by the shortest route, which is over the North Pole, this early warning system, now called the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD), is especially strong in that direction.  The NORAD operations centre is inside Cheyenne Mountain near Colorado Springs in the Rocky Mountains.  NORAD is answerable both to the Canadian Prime Minister and the US President.  (More information about NORAD can be found on the Internet
at: www.space.com.af.mil/norad/index.htm) 
To complete the radar shield there are also huge radar beams facing West, South and East from the North American coast, so that nothing that is detectable by radar can fly into Canada or the USA from any direction without tripping this system.  This means that any radar-detectable UFO that is seen by the public anywhere within Canada or the USA must fall into one of these four categories. 

• It must have been detected by the radar system as it flew past the coastline, or in from space, or
• It must have somehow got through the system undetected by using stealth, inter-dimensional travel or something of that nature, or
• It must have come from an underground or underwater alien base located within Canada or the USA, or
• It must be a craft owned by either the US or Canadian government or member of the public such as a well financed inventor.

This may be one reason why Western air forces these days do not seem very interested in UFO reports from the public.  They probably already have all the details they need on a tracking computer somewhere.

The US military also has its own missile tracking system separate from its NORAD cooperation with Canada.  This system extends into space and around the planet.  The US Air Force Space Command runs something called SPACETRACK which provides data on satellites and missiles from its network of sensors around the world, including NASA's tracking systems.  SPACETRACK also gets information from the US Navy Space Surveillance System (NAVSPASUR) which operates a line of radar stations running from Georgia to California that transmit a fan-shaped radar beam into space to a height of about fourteen thousand kilometres.  This system can detect and calculate the orbital characteristics of any satellite or other object breaking the beam. (Hobbs, p.76)

SPACETRACK is also linked to something called the Ground-based Electro-Optical Deep Space Surveillance System (GEODSS) which consists of a world-wide network of 100 centimetre telescopes linked to low-light-level television cameras which are powerful enough to provide real-time pictures of an object as small as a football in geostationary orbit 36,000 kilometres above the ground.  By now these cameras may be even more sensitive and include infra-red sensors.  I assume that this means that, if a UFO or mother-ship is detected by radar somewhere in orbit around the planet, one of the GEODSS telescopes somewhere on the planet can be asked to film it within minutes.  There are GEODSS telescopes in New Mexico, South Korea, Hawaii, Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, Portugal (Hobbs, p.80) and probably several other places.  This would suggest that someone within the US military-intelligence community by now has a whole video library of state-of-the-art UFO footage.

To show how coordinated the US military's early warning systems are, it is interesting to read a 19th August 1998 press release from the US Air Force News Service which detailed the retirement of General Howell M. Estes III after
thirty-three years in the US Air Force.  Before his retirement General Estes simultaneously held three positions.  He was the commander in chief of NORAD (CINCNORAD) which meant that he "was responsible for the air sovereignty of the United States and Canada, as well as providing tactical warning and attack
assessment."  He was also the commander in chief of US Space Command (USCINCSPACE) which meant that "he commanded the unified command spacecontrol and support operations."  And finally, he was commander directing
of US Air Force Space Command (COMAFSPC).  In that job "he directed satellite
control, warning, space launch and ballistic missile operations through a worldwide network of support facilities and bases."  General Estes it seems had
a very responsible position, but the press release neglected to say whether tracking UFOs was also a part of his job brief.  His replacement is General Richard B. Myers.

The US early warning system is not limited to the North American continent. 
They have installations on friendly territory around the planet, occasionally in places one has never heard of.  Some of them have remarkable capabilities, for example the Cobra Dane radar system, located on the Aleutian Islands near Alaska, "is sensitive enough to detect a grapefruit-sized metallic object at a distance in excess of 2,200 miles [3,500km].  In its tracking mode it can simultaneously handle up to 200 objects at ranges of up to about 1,250 miles [2,000km]." (Hobbs, p.76)  I wonder how many UFOs they have tracked over the last twenty-five years and who got to look at the radar tapes.  There is little
point in having such marvellous technology if an intelligence analyst somewhere does not get to see the data it produces.

What evidence is there that such US radar systems are actually used to track UFOs?  In an article called 'The Roswell Incident: Fragments of Evidence' by Linda Moulton Howe she quotes an anonymous informant's recollections of what his grandfather, who claimed to have been on the Roswell crash retrieval team in 1947, had told him about the military's concern about UFOs entering US airspace.  The grandfather claimed they had "recommended to the President that a Space Program be set into motion and that a system of satellites be placed into orbit by 1957, and this satellite system be patched into the DEW Line system (Distant Early Warning radar stations at 70th parallel across North America) which later became NORAD (North America Radar Defence).  Grandad stated that it was his opinion that NORAD was formed not only to track possible ICBMs from hostile nations, but as an established detection system for UFO craft." 
Although this claim does not constitute concrete evidence, it would be very puzzling, if not irresponsible, if the US military was not doing their best to track UFOs.  After all, it's not as if they are short of (taxpayers') money.

Further evidence that NORAD may be involved in tracking UFOs is to be found in an article called The 'Colorado Connection' by Graham Conway in Flying Saucer Review.  Conway gives several examples of Canadian residents who had rung their local air force base to report seeing a UFO, only to find themselves patched through to someone in NORAD, Colorado who took the details.

SATELLITE SYSTEMS.  

So far we have only discussed ground-based tracking systems which are limited by their inability to see beyond the horizon, although over-the-horizon radar can see further. 
However nothing compares to the view from space.  In my opinion using satellites to detect and/or track UFOs would be the most cost-effective method because such systems are already paid for, are already there watching out for nuclear missiles, and are already classified.  Any extra work they did would go unnoticed.  But their most important advantage is that satellites can see a huge area of the planet at one time.

Most surveillance, communication and weather satellites are 'parked' in what is called geosynchronous or geostationary orbit.  This means that the speed at which they naturally orbit the planet matches exactly the speed at which the planet rotates.  That means that, when seen through a telescope from the ground,
the satellite appears to be stationary.  This illusion occurs because the ground that the viewer is standing on is actually moving at the same speed as the satellite.  Therefore, if you want your surveillance satellite to monitor a particular area of the planet you just park it in a geostationary orbit above your target area, and it effectively just sits there looking down.  One of the disadvantages of this system is that everyone else who can afford it is doing the same thing.  The geostationary orbit above the equator is by now so crowded with satellites that they will soon have to install parking meters up there. 
Another disadvantage is that geostationary orbit is about 36,000 kilometres above the ground which means that getting a clear picture isn't easy.  Add that to the fact that the ground beneath the satellite may be covered by clouds, and spends half the day in darkness as the planet revolves, and one begins to see why the spy satellite business is so expensive.

The field of view or 'footprint' of a geostationary surveillance satellite covers an enormous area of the planet.  For example a satellite parked over the equator near Singapore would be able to see a circle beneath it that extended from above the Arctic circle in the north to below the Antarctic circle in the south and from a line roughly joining Cairo to Moscow to the west to well past New Zealand to the east.  This is a vast area that includes most of Russia, the whole of Asia, the Indian Ocean and Australia.  With this kind of coverage one only needs to maintain three such satellites evenly spaced around the equator to be able to view the entire planet except the North and South poles.  To function effectively, a surveillance satellite must transmit the data it has recorded to a receiving station on the ground that is in line of sight beneath it, because electromagnetic radiation will only go in straight lines.  That is why the receiving stations for any geostationary satellites that are looking at Russia, Iraq, Pakistan, India or China must be on the same side of the planet as those countries.  And from a geopolitical perspective, the most suitable place to locate such satellite bases is in Australia.

The White House Lawn Is Restricted Area … Go Land Somewhere Else, Which "They" Did!

“If Aliens Really Are Visiting Us, Why Don’t They Just Land On The White House Lawn?”

‘The Day the Earth Stood Still’ Or: How the CIA Learned to Worry About UFOs and Love Hollywood

By Robbie Graham Silver Screen Saucers 12-1-13

 The first UFO movie to feature a human-looking extraterrestrial came in 1951 with The Day the Earth Stood Still, in which the enlightened alien Klaatu and his indestructible robot Gort land their flying saucer in Washington D.C. Their mission: to warn of the dangers atomic weaponry poses not only to humanity, but to the denizens of other worlds in the universe.

The movie opens with Klaatu’s flying saucer being tracked on radar at high altitude before it lands on the President's Park Ellipse in the nation’s Capitol. Not quite the White House lawn, but close enough, and hence the popular question: “If aliens really are visiting us, why don’t they just land on the White House Lawn?” The obvious response is that aliens are unlikely to model their diplomatic
strategies on Hollywood entertainment.

No sooner has Klaatu’s craft touched down than it is encircled by US soldiers with itchy trigger fingers. As he steps out of his craft, Klaatu announces: “We have come to visit you in peace and with good will.” But the military doesn’t buy it, and, when the alien reaches into his flight-suit and produces a peculiar-looking device, a jittery soldier presumes it to be a weapon and opens fire on poor Klaatu, wounding him and destroying the object he was holding. In response to this act of aggression, Gort, Klaatu’s humanoid robot, emits a powerful beam from his visor which he uses to systematically disintegrate any and all military hardware on the scene – much to the horror of the military and civilian onlookers. Gort continues his defensive actions until Klaatu utters the now iconic phrase: “Klaatu Barada Nikto!” at which point the robot ceases its attack and returns to its formerly placid state. Klaatu then explains to the military that the destroyed object was intended as a gift for the US President – a viewing device through which he could have glimpsed the wonders of life on other planets.

After Klaatu is taken into custody, the military attempts to unlock the secrets of his craft (which is still ‘parked’ just a stone’s throw from the White House). But these efforts prove futile as the metal skin of the alien saucer is utterly impregnable, withstanding cutting torches and even diamond drills. Soon enough, Klaatu escapes from his captivity and decides to lodge at a boarding house under an alias: “Mr. Carpenter.” It is at the boarding house that Klaatu befriends Helen Benson (Patricia Neal), a World War II widow, and her son Bobby (Billy Gray), both of whom are – initially, at least – oblivious to his
extraterrestrial nature.

When Klaatu asks Bobby who is the greatest person on Earth, the young science fanatic tells him it’s the leading American scientist professor Jacob Barnhardt (Sam Jaffe), who happens to live in D.C.
This leads to a meeting between Klaatu and Barnhardt in which the former tells
the latter that the people of the other planets are deeply concerned about our recent development of atomic power and its destructive potential both on Earth
and on other planets.

Klaatu tells Barnhardt that if his anti-nuke message goes unheeded “planet Earth will be eliminated.” This promps the professor to arrange a meeting of scientists at Klaatu’s ship; however, in order that the scientists take Klaatu seriously, Barnhardt suggests that the alien first give a demonstration of his power. Thus, Klaatu arranges for a thirty-minute worldwide power black-out, essentially bringing planet Earth to a standstill.

When the blackout ends and the military finally catch up with Klaatu, he is shot and fatally wounded. Gort takes Klaatu’s corpse back to the saucer where Helen (now fully aware of Klaatu’s alien nature) watches as the alien is brought back from the dead through the use of advanced technology.
Klaatu’s revival is only temporary, however, as even his science cannot truly conquer death; this power, he tells Helen, is reserved solely for the “Almighty
Spirit.”

In the film’s closing scene, Klaatu steps out of his saucer and addresses the scientists that Barnhardt has assembled at the scene in what is today regarded as one of the silver screen’s most memorable speeches:

“I am leaving soon, and you will forgive me if I speak bluntly. The universe grows smaller every day, and the threat of aggression by any group, anywhere, can no longer be tolerated. There must be security for all, or no one is secure... It is no concern of ours how you run your own planet, but if you threaten to extend your violence, this Earth of yours will be reduced to a burned-out cinder. Your choice is simple: join us and live in peace, or pursue your present course and face obliteration. We shall be waiting for your answer.
The decision rests with you.”

CIA involvement?
The depiction in The Day the Earth Stood Still of a human-looking extraterrestrial warning against the use of nuclear weaponry came two years before controversial contactee George Adamski claimed to have received his own anti-nuke message from the human-like alien, Orthon. Throughout the 1950s, and in every decade since, UFO experiencers claimed to have received similar eco-pacifist messages from human-like alien beings. While it is very tempting to conclude that the experiencers were simply taking their cue from Hollywood fiction, it is important to remember that The Day the Earth Stood Still contained factually accurate UFOlogical detail, some of which was, in all likelihood, inserted by the US government.

Consider, for example, the testimony of Linda Moulton Howe.
The Emmy award-winning filmmaker and journalist claims that, while conducting research for a UFO documentary in 1983, she was told by Air Force Intelligence officers that The Day the Earth Stood Still was “inspired by the
CIA,” and was “one of the first government tests of public reaction [to an alien landing].”

Screenwriter Edmund H. North

It is notable that the screenwriter of The Day the Earth Stood Still –Edmund H. North – was a Major in the Army Signal Corps prior to being selected by 20th Century Fox to pen the script. During his time in the Corps, North had been in charge of training and educational documentaries, and later established himself as a Hollywood scribe of patriotic war films including Sink the Bismark! (1960) and Submarine X-1 (1968), as well as Patton (1970), for which he received an Oscar – all of which raises the possibility that he maintained an official or quasi-official role in the government’s cinematic propaganda campaigns throughout his career.

More significantly, 20th Century Fox production chief Darryl Zanuck – the man responsible for overseeing the production of The Day the Earth Stood Still – was himself in charge of an Army Signal Corps documentary unit during the Second World War and was, at the time of the movie’s production, a board member of the National Committee for Free Europe (NCFE), which was established by the CIA in 1949. As a star member of the NCFE, Zanuck regularly rubbed shoulders with the organisation’s executive committee, which included future CIA Director Allen Dulles and future US President Dwight D. Eisenhower. In 1951 – when the The Day the Earth Stood Still was being written, produced and released – the President of the NCFE was General Charles Douglas (C.D.) Jackson, who served as Deputy Chief of the Psychological Warfare Division of the Supreme headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF) during WWII, and would later be appointed as special advisor to President Eisenhower on Psychological Warfare.
He was, in the words of historian Frances Stoner Saunders, “one of the most
influential covert strategists in America.” Jackson referred to Darryl Zanuck as
being among a group of Hollywood “friends” – including Jack Warner and Walt
Disney – on whom the government could rely “to insert in their scripts and in
their action the right ideas with the proper subtlety.”

With this in mind, and in light of what USAF intelligence officers allegedly asserted to Linda Moulton Howe about The Day the Earth Stood Still being a CIA test of public reaction to open ET contact, a memo from Darryl Zanuck to the movie’s producer, Julian Blaustein (also a veteran of the Army Signal Corps) and screenwriter Edmund North makes for fascinating reading. In the memo, dated August 10, 1950, Zanuck stresses that that every effort should be made to “compel the audience to completely accept [emphasis in original] this story as something that could possibly happen in the not too distant future.” Zanuck placed particular emphasis on the now iconic scene in which the alien Klaatu lands his flying saucer in Washington, D.C. before emerging to address the public. Zanuck advised Blaustein and North to “treat it as realistically as you possibly can,” even suggesting that the scene play out documentary style: “You should suddenly hear radio programs being interrupted with startling flash announcements from Washington, New York, Los Angeles, etc. The whole nation is ‘listening in.’ This should be dramatized like the opening of a documentary film.” The audience must “‘accept’ our entire project,” said Zanuck.

The script for The Day the Earth Stood Still was finally locked and approved by Darryl Zanuck on February 21, 1951. Virtually all of his script suggestions were followed. As a final thought on the movie in the context of propaganda and persuasion, the reader might find some significance in the following statement made by Zanuck in 1943 during his time in the Signal Corps: “If you have something worthwhile to say, dress it up in the glittering robes of entertainment and you will find a ready market… without entertainment, no propaganda film is worth a dime.”

Further circumstantial evidence for government collusion in the production of The Day the Earth Stood Still comes from Paul Davids, the writer/producer of the 1994 Showtime TV movie, Roswell. According to Davids, Robert Wise was a firm believer in ET visitation and his belief was based on authoritative information provided to him by possible government insiders.

“He [Wise] met with me in his office in Beverly Hills,” Davids told me during a 2013 interview. “He told me he absolutely did believe that the saucers were real and that some of them were extraterrestrial. He believed it not because he had seen one, but because of all the information that had come to him while he was making The Day the Earth Stood Still.” Wise told Davids that scientists and engineers from Washington had taken him aside during filming and talked to him about UFOs. “What they told him convinced him that the government took this really seriously, that some of these craft were visitors from space.”

UFO technology

Klaatu's Flying Saucer

Precisely what these scientists and engineers from Washington told Wise about UFOs is unknown, but it’s fair to say that The Day the Earth Stood Still boasts a remarkable degree of UFOlogical verisimilitude. In earlier movies, UFOs were clunky-looking contraptions, as with The Flying Saucer of 1950, in which the eponymous craft is little more than a circular plane on wheels – it even has a cockpit resembling that of a military aircraft. The sleek, domed saucer shape typically described in witness reports and in government documentation since 1947 was not realized onscreen until 1951 in The Day the Earth Stood Still. More notably, the subtle, uniform glow given off by Wise’s saucer calls to mind the appearance of ionized air – a common effect recalled by UFO witnesses around the world and thought to be the product of electromagnetic propulsion systems.

Klaatu’s concern about our use of nuclear weapons even has precedent in official government documentation (classified at the time) describing UFO incursions in restricted airspace over US nuclear bases. On January 31, 1949, the FBI issued a memo on UFOs, entitled “Protection of Vital Installations.” The classified document was sent to the Army’s G-2, the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, the Office of Naval Intelligence, and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. It reveals that a meeting between these authorities had recently taken place concerning UFOs, and states that “the matter of ‘Unidentified Aircraft’ or ‘Unidentified Aerial Phenomena,’ otherwise known as ‘Flying Discs,’ ‘Flying Saucers,’ and ‘Balls of Fire,’ is considered top secret by intelligence officers of both the Army and the Air Forces.” The FBI document catalogues a list of incursions by unknown objects into restricted airspace surrounding the Atomic Energy Commission’s highly sensitive research installation at Los Alamos, New Mexico, throughout December 1948 and into early 1949. Stunningly, the memo goes on to explain that “the unidentified phenomena travel at the rate of speed estimated at a minimum of three miles per second and a maximum of twelve miles per second, or a mean calculated speed of seven and one-half miles per second, or 27,000 miles per hour.” Even more eye-popping are the memo’s statements that “on two separate occasions a definite vertical change in path was indicated,” and that the appearance of the objects was “round in a point of light with a definite area to the light’s source.”

Another real-life parallel in the movie is the impenetrable metal of Klaatu’s craft, in which we see shades of Roswell. Dozens of first and second hand witnesses have testified that debris recovered from the Roswell crash in July of 1947 was uncuttable, untearable, unburnable and undentable – essentially indestructible. Additionally, the shrill sound emitted by Klaatu’s flying saucer also has been a common feature in UFO close encounter reports from the 1940s to present day, with witnesses often associating high-pitch whirring, humming, or hissing sounds with UFOs.

The appearance and glow of Klaatu’ saucer; its impenetrable metal skin, and the
high-pitched noise it emits; UFOs exhibiting an interest in our nuclear capabilities… such details could easily have been slipped in at the behest of the CIA during the screenwriting phase through the Agency’s high-level asset Darryl Zanuck by way of his fellow Army Signal Corps propagandists – screenwriter Edmund North and Producer Julian Blaustein. And details could have been fine-tuned during the filming stage by on-set advice from Wise’s Washington scientists. Frustratingly, due to the CIA’s longstanding unwritten motto:
“Nothing on paper,” it is unlikely that we will ever know for sure.

One of the most interesting details in The Day the Earth Stood Still is that Klaatu – an alien – is entirely human in appearance. Here again we find striking UFOlogical parallels.

Aliens among us
In the mid-1960s, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) conducted a Cosmic Top Secret Study of the UFO problem, titled The Assessment – sort of a NATO version of the US Air Force’s 1948 Estimate of the Situation. But while the USAF study merely concluded that some UFOs were likely “interplanetary” in origin, The Assessment went many steps further – this according to the testimony of Robert Dean, a retired US Army Command Sergeant Major who was assigned to NATO’s SHAPE headquarters in Brussels during the mid-1960s.

Dean claims that, while stationed at SHAPE in 1964, he had limited access to The Assessment, and its conclusions were shocking. Dean asserts that “part of the study stated that [NATO] had come to the conclusion that we had four different civilizations – cultures, intelligences – that were present here on Earth and that were visiting us and interacting with us.” Particularly interesting, says Dean, was that one of the alien groups was identical in appearance to humans; or rather, we were identical to them. This was of grave concern to NATO leadership.

Delivering a public lecture at the Civic Theater in Leeds, England, in 1994, Dean stated that some of the human-looking ETs were so similar to us that “they could sit next to you in an airplane or in a restaurant in a coat and tie or a dress and you would never know. They could be sitting next to you in a theater like this.” Dean noted that “this was a matter of great concern to the admirals and generals at SHAPE Headquarters in Paris. Some of the discussions which went on in the War Room were kind of frightening and some of them were rather amusing. One officer said: ‘My God, man, do you realize that these [aliens] could be walking up and down the corridors of SHAPE Headquarters and we wouldn’t even know who the hell they were?’”

In The Day the Earth Stood Still, Klaatu effortlessly infiltrates human society, walking among us unnoticed, casually but keenly observing our curious ways.
While many UFO movies have explored the idea of hostile alien infiltration of our society, only a handful have looked at the flipside of the coin – and this despite numerous cases in the UFO literature of seemingly benevolent, human-looking aliens walking freely among us.

A typical report along these lines dates back to 1954 when, on December 9, a farmer in Linha da Vista in Brazil observed on his land three men and their landed craft, which was enveloped in a haze. Two of the men were outside of the craft inspecting their surroundings, while the third was visible inside it. The craft made a noise “like a sewing machine.”

Shocked at the sight before him, the farmer dropped his pitchfork. One of the men then approached, picked it up, examined it, and handed it back to the farmer. The two beings on the ground then joined the third in their craft, motioning the farmer not to come too close. The craft then took off. Hardly the stuff of Hollywood nightmares. The beings in this case wore “brown coveralls, ending with shoes which had no heels.” They were “of average height, had broad shoulders, long hair, very white skin and slanted eyes.”

These blonde, white-skinned ‘Nordic’ UFO occupants – and variants thereof – have been reported in every decade since the 1920s, and on every continent (for literally hundreds of raw witness reports of human-like aliens beings, see the 1969 book The Humanoids, edited by Charles Bowen).

Klaatu as Christ
The one aspect of The Day the Earth Stood Still that dates it UFOlogically and reminds us of its firm roots in Hays-code-era Hollywood is its subtle allusions to Christianity. Klaatu’s reference to “The Almighty Spirit” is a clear nod to God and was intended by the film’s writers to be understood in a Christian context. It is no accident, for example, that Klaatu is given the alias of “Carpenter” – Christ’s worldly occupation as described in scripture. Nor is it coincidence that Klaatu – a man with otherworldly powers who preaches peace to the masses – is killed only to be resurrected before rising into the sky (in a flying saucer). But the film’s Christian allegory is ironic, given that, in many contact cases, UFO occupants have spoken about a divine power in secular and distinctly non-Christian terms, speaking of God not as a supreme (male) ‘being’, but instead espousing the notion of a universal life force or all-pervasive cosmic energy.

For us, what you call God is a form of absolute energy,” the Argentinean contactee Orlando Jorge Ferraudi claimed to have been told by a human-like UFO occupant in August 1956, “and as to death, it is only a change in molecular structure, a change of state.” In a UFO contact case from Campitello in Italy, in July, 1968, a human-like being with slightly feline features allegedly told car salesman Walter Marino Rizzi that “God is everywhere; in us, plants, stones, grass, and nature – everything that exists,” and added that when his own people die of natural causes, it is as a result of “exhaustion of cosmic energy.” In these terms, alien ‘faith’ would seem to have more in common with the Eastern philosophies of Taoism and Buddhism than with Christianity.

Legacy
In 1995, The Day the Earth Stood Still was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” – and rightfully so, for its influence cannot be understated. This was not an obscure B-movie catering solely to frisky teens at the drive-in; this was a major motion picture event – a high quality studio product that had the enthusiastic backing of one of the most influential figures in Hollywood (Darryl Zanuck) and that was seen by millions of cinemagoers the world over. One of those cinemagoers was Ronald Reagan. Himself no stranger to the movie business, Reagan starred in numerous B-movies between the late-1930s and mid-1960s. He was also an avid movie-watcher, and no motion picture struck quite such a chord with the future Commander in Chief as The Day the Earth Stood Still.

Famously, in an address to the United Nations General Assembly on September 21, 1987, President Ronald Reagan said:

“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 you, is not an alien force already among us?”

It is a matter of public record that Reagan was himself a UFO witness, which he would repeat publicly on multiple occasions throughout his Presidency – may have been directly inspired by The Day the Earth Stood Still. According to Presidential UFO researcher Grant Cameron, “World peace and aliens were never far from Reagan’s mind. He used to walk around the White House asking people if they had seen the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still, uttering the phrase ‘Klaatu barada nikto.’” Just as the character of Helen had uttered the alien phrase in the nick of time and saved the world, Reagan planned to do the same, says Cameron.

Cameron even posits the notion that Reagan’s fascination with The Day the Earth Stood Still may actually have led to the end of the Cold War: “In 1989,
inspired by Klaatu’s words, ‘There must be security for all, or no one is secure,’ Reagan stood at the Berlin Wall and asked his friend Gorbachev to ‘tear down this wall.’ Gorbachev removed the wall which separated the two Germanys, and there has been peace between the West and the Eastern bloc countries ever since.”

But Reagan is not the only President to have been inspired by The Day the Earth Stood Still. On March 21, 2012, while in Maljamar, New Mexico, President Barack Obama paraphrased Klaatu’s immortal line: “We have come to isit you in peace and with good will.” Addressing a crowd of reporters, Obama declared: “It was as a wonderful trip... we landed in Roswell. I announced to people when I landed that ‘I come in peace.’” It was a cheap tactic to elicit some laughs and to associate a real, historical UFO incident with Hollywood fiction. Perhaps someone should have pointed out to the President that The Day the Earth Stood Still was a poor choice in this regard, standing, as it arguably does, as one of the most UFOlogically accurate movies in history.

Buzz Aldrin

(NASA)

In a 2005 interview with Science Channel, Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin seemed to say he saw an unidentified flying object (UFO) that followed Apollo 11 on its 1969 moon mission and may have contained aliens. 

In a recording of the video uploaded to YouTube, Aldrin recalls his experience and his conversation with mission control: “[There was] something out there that was close enough to be observed, and what could it be?

“Mike [Collins] decided he thought he could see it in the telescope and he was able to do that. When it was in one position, it has a series of ellipses. But when you made it real sharp, it was sort of L-shaped. That didn’t tell us very much.

“Obviously the three of us were not going to blurt out, ‘Hey Houston, we’ve got something moving alongside of us and we don’t know what it is; can you tell us what it is? We weren’t about to do that, because we know that those transmissions would be heard by all sorts of people and who knows what somebody would have demanded? That we turn back because of aliens, or whatever the reason.”

Thinking the object might have been the S-IVB rocket stage, the crew asked Houston how far away it was. The S-IVB was 6,000 nautical miles away. “We really didn’t think we were looking at something that far away,” Aldrin told the Science Channel.

He said the crew decided they wouldn’t talk about it anymore until debriefing. 

In a posting on the NASA website, astrophysicist David Morrison reported that he spoke with Aldrin after this interview. 

Aldrin told Morrison the quotes were taken out of context. Aldrin told Morrison, and also said on Larry King Live in 2007, that what they saw was likely a panel separated from the spacecraft as various stages dropped off—a normal procedure. 

 

Edgar Mitchell

(NASA)

Edgar Mitchell flew in Apollo 14 to the moon in 1971, and is known as the sixth person to walk on the moon. He told WPTV he is certain aliens have been watching us and that the government is aware. 

“I don’t know how many or where or how they’re doing it, but they’ve been observing us and here for quite some time. We see these craft all the time,” he said.

“I believe what I’m saying and I cite the evidence that I know,” Mitchell said.

Many websites and blogs interested in extraterrestrial life have cited a transcript said to have been leaked by a NASA employee after the Apollo 11 lunar landing.

The conversation takes place between the Apollo 11 crew, mission control, and an unnamed professor.

The name of the NASA employee is given as Otto Binder, a famous science fiction author, casting doubt on the transcript.

“Apollo 11” is quoted: “These babies are huge … You wouldn’t believe it. I’m telling you there are other spacecraft out there … lined up on the far side of the crater edge.

“They’re on the moon watching us.”

Astronaut Neil Armstrong is quoted as saying, “We were warned off.”

When questioned further, Armstrong said, according to the transcript: “I can’t go into details, except to say that their ships were far superior to ours both in size and technology—Boy, were they big … and menacing. … No, there is no question of a space station.”

Morrison again answered a query on the NASA website, stating: “There were no aliens on the moon. Armstrong and other Apollo astronauts saw no evidence of aliens either on the near-side or the far-side of the moon.”

 

Gordon Cooper

 
(NASA)

Gordon Cooper was one of the Original Seven NASA astronauts. He piloted the last Project Mercury space mission in 1963.

In 1951, he was flying with the U.S. Air Force in Germany when he saw many UFOs in formation at high altitude. The UFOs were flying higher and faster than human-built aircraft could at the time, he said in an interview with Yolanda Gaskins in 1996 on Paranormal Borderline.

“We couldn’t get anywhere near their altitude,” he said. After filing a report, he explained, “the answer that finally came back months later is they were probably high-flying seed pods, which didn’t sound very logical.”

Then, in 1957, his military film crew recorded footage of a saucer-shaped UFO landing on a dry lake bed. It had three landing legs. They approached it and it took off. The film was sent to his superiors and never mentioned to him again.

He also said friends of his who were commercial pilots have told him they have seen UFOs.

Congressional hearings on extraterrestrial life

Scientists educated members of the U.S. House of Representatives about the search for extraterrestrial life at a hearing held in Washington, DC on Wednesday, December 4.

The Committee on Science, Space and Technology, chaired by Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas), met for a two-hour hearing titled “Astrobiology: Search for Biosignatures in our Solar System and Beyond.” The hearing charter outlined the hearing’s goal, describing:

The purpose of this hearing is to examine astrobiology research and the search for biosignatures in our Solar System and beyond. The hearing will include a general assessment of the multi- and interdisciplinary nature of astrobiology research, including the role astrobiology plays in formulating NASA space missions. It will also examine the techniques and capabilities necessary to determine the potential for the existence of biosignatures within our Solar System. With the discovery of potential Earth-like planets outside of our Solar System, the hearing will also investigate what methods are being used to determine if any of these planets may harbor life. The hearing will explore existing and planned astrobiology research strategies and roadmaps.

Three leading scientists presented testimony at the hearing. They are:

• Dr. Mary Voytek, Senior Scientist for Astrobiology, Planetary Science Division, NASA
• Dr. Sara Seager, Class of 1941 Professor of Physics and Planetary Science, MIT
• Dr. Steven Dick, Baruch S. Blumberg Chair of Astrobiology, John W. Kluge Center, Library of Congress

These scientists discussed exploration technology like the James Webb space telescope, emphasizing the importance of exploration ventures to the search for extraterrestrial life. Dr. Seager explained, “NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), scheduled to launch in 2018, will be capable of studying the atmospheres of a subset of the TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, scheduled for launch in 2017) rocky exoplanets in visible, near infrared, and infrared light . . . We anticipate TESS will find dozens of super Earths suitable for atmosphere observations by JWST, including several that could potentially be habitable.”

Dr. Sara Seager. (Credit: MIT)

Rep. Ralph Hall (R-Texas) asked the scientists, “Do you think there’s life out there?” Seager explained that the Milky Way galaxy contains 100 billion stars and the universe may contain 100 billion galaxies. Then she stated, “Do the math.” As the Guardian reports, when the three scientists were asked for brief answers to the question, “Is life out there?,” the response was “Yes,” “Yes,” and “Yes.”

This hearing comes just a day after the announcement that two studies have revealed that the Hubble space telescope detected water in the atmospheres of five planets outside the solar system. As NBC News reports, “The five exoplanets with hints of water are all scorching-hot, Jupiter-size worlds that are unlikely to host life as we know it. But finding water in their atmospheres still marks a step forward in the search for distant planets that may be capable of supporting alien life, researchers

Happy Holidays Special   Reports Comet Ison Passes near the Sun It appears that the comet broke apart and disintegrated mostly into dust, gas and is a ghost of its original size .  However, one part of the nucleus remains.  It survived the close approach to the sun, but is too dim to become readily viewable in the sky.  Hubble will have a look for the remnant once it moves far enough from the Sun for Hubble to safely point at it, in mid-December. NASA now says the comet's nucleus — or a part of it — survived its brush with the sun and is continuing on its journey. It certainly appears as if there is an object there that is emitting material but probably won’t be visible with the naked eye. Thanks to Frank Chille Soviet KGB’s Special Blue Folder of UFO Observations The prominent Soviet cosmonaut Pavel Popovich got the famous Blue Folder from the KGB in 1991. These days Mr. Popovich holds the position of honorary president of the Academy of Informational and Applied Ufology. The folder contains numerous descriptions of UFO flights and reports on some (mostly failed) attempts taken by the military in order to catch the aliens.  In 1968, 13 leading aircraft designers and engineers of a brand-new aircraft section of the Soviet Committee on Space Technology and Exploration forwarded a request to set up a special organization for the study of UFOs to the Soviet Prime Minister Alexei Kosygin. A reply to the letter was signed by Academician Shchukin  "A number of competent organizations of the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences in cooperation with the Chief Directorate of Meteorological Service, Defense Ministry and a few other agencies considered the issue of nature of the so-called flying objects. The organizations involved in the study of the atmosphere and space have been instructed to register and do research on any cases of UFOs for identification purposes. The USSR Academy of Sciences is charged with general monitoring of the phenomena, and therefore a special organization for the study of UFOs is not required."  "It was a real breakthrough," says Vladimir Azhazha, president of the above academy and keeper of the Blue Folder. "The Soviet authorities not only acknowledged the existence of UFOs for the first time, they also showed their great interest in the issue," adds he.  "We got hold of the Blue Folder only in 1991," says Mr. Azhazha. "Pavel Popovich was given the folder after requesting reports on the cases of UFOs. I received the folder from Popovich; it was a 124-page compilation of reports about the encounters with UFOs. The reports filed by authorities, military units and eyewitnesses. It took us a long time to get rid of some doubts before making the folder public," says he.  Mr. Popovich saw an UFO only once while flying in a passenger plane from Washington to Moscow. According to him, the object looked like a shining triangle that popped up out of nowhere, for awhile it flew near the plane at about 1,000 km per hour before vanishing without a trace.  Site the cover letter that effectively denied any special program by the KGB for monitoring the UFO activities, the contents of the folder indicated the opposite. It is quite obvious that the Soviet secret police launched thoughtful investigations in several cases e.g. an anomaly observed near the village of Burkhala of the Magadan region on October 21, 1989. The report on the incident says: "The eyewitnesses claim to have watched a red shining sphere circulating above the village for half an hour." The northern lights are reported to have shone extremely brightly all night long following the incident.  The flying disks vanished in thin air after the explosion  KGB agents looked high and low trying to figure out what happened at the airport of the city of Mineralnye Vody on December 15, 1987. According to the airport dispatchers, at 23.15 the flight No 65798 reported an incoming "object resembling an aircraft with its headlights on." The radars showed no aircraft whatsoever. Three minutes later the UFO was gone as reported by the flight No 65789.  The crew of another plane also observed the UFO flying in that area. The clock read approximately 23.20. According to crewmembers, the UFO left a fiery trail in the air. The crews of the both planes reported that the UFO had disappeared after the flash resembling an explosion. A villager reported a burning plane flying over his village at 23.30. The eyewitness said the plane then disappeared. The eyewitness found no wreckage or other evidence of a pa6lane crash.  From time to time the Soviet military made attempts to deal with UFOs independently. In August 1987, servicemen of an antiaircraft unit based on the Tiksi Peninsula tried to "get to know better" an unidentified flying object that appeared on a radar screen. The report from Colonel Lobanov, a duty officer of the military unit No 45038, said: "An unidentified target detected by the radar station of the commandant’s office of the antiaircraft unit at 05.45 Moscow time." The target moved at a speed varying from 0 to 400 km per hour. At 06.55 PM, a helicopter MI-8 took off for a closer examination of the object. Suddenly, the object became invisible. Another aircraft, the AN-12 was flying in the vicinity at the time. At 3600 m the crew reported an emerald cloud with a few traces of purple and dark spots visible in the middle. Two inverse trails were reported behind the cloud.   An incident occurred in the Leningrad Military Region in early August of 1987. Five officers were dispatched to the northern part of Karelia to accompany an object of unknown origin that had been located near the city of Vyborg. The object was said to be 14 m long, 4 meters wide and 2.5 m high. The military failed to open the "extraterrestrial can." Eventually, the object disappeared from the hangar in late September.  On July 28, 1989, the arrival of an UFO spread panic among the personnel of a military unit stationed in the vicinity of Kapustin Yar, in the Astrakhan region. Corporal Valery Voloshin was on duty in the communications center at the time. He filed the first report on the case.  Researchers believe the Blue Folder is an invaluable source of information. According to Mr. Azhazha, all reports and evidence on record indicate that intelligent life forms control the objects that mean no harm to human beings. At least no case of an attack by UFO against man was found in the folder. Pravda.Ru English Forum  http://www.pravda.ru/science/mysterious/ufology/20-12-2002/8891-ufologia-0 RB-47 Chases Powerful UFO On July 17, 1957, an American Airlines commercial aircraft took evasive action to avoid a collision with a UFO. An Air Force RB-47 reconnaissance aircraft tracked the UFO for several hours both with radar and with an ALA-5 Pulse Analyzer. The chase started in Mississippi flying west to Texas and then north to Kansas. The UFO pulse train was at the 3,000 megacycle envelope for duration of two micro seconds, with a repetition rate of 600 cycles a second.  The power generated by the UFO is estimated to be equivalent to the electric power needed to run a small city. Strange signals were monitored on 4827.69 GHz and 4827, 29 GHz which may tie to the craft. B-1 Bomber Crashes CBS News reports a B-1 bomber crashed this morning in a remote area of southeast Montana, but the crew of four escaped with minor injuries. According a spokesperson with Ellsworth Air Force Base in Rapid City the crash happened Monday morning near August 19, 2013 Broadus. Two pilots and two weapon systems officers were on board, a base spokesman told CBS station MTN in Missoula, Montana. All four of the crew members ejected from the plane survived the crash. Few other details are available at this hour. Ellsworth AFB is the home of the 28th Bomb Wing. They maintain and fly 28 B-1 bombers and are home to two of the Air Forces’ three B-1 combat squadrons. “We are actively working to ensure the safety of the crew members and have sent first responders to secure the scene and work closely with local authorities at the crash site,” said Col. Kevin Kennedy, 28th Bomb Wing commander. “Right now all of our thoughts and prayers are with the crews and their families.” There are roughly 60 B-1′s remaining in the U.S. Air Force fleet. Residents of Ekalaka, tell MTN that the emergency sirens in that town were activated about 9:30 a.m. to alert the fire department of that crash. MALMSTROM AIR FORCE BASE, Montana — Col. Robert Stanley, 341st Missile Wing commander relieved Col. David Lynch (at right) from command of the 341st SFG due to a loss of confidence in Lynch’s ability to lead his group on August 22. The SFG has four security forces squadrons and more than 1,200 personnel. It is responsible for providing security and force protection for the 341 MW, including its main base, 15 launch control centers and 150 intercontinental ballistic missile silos in Montana. Lynch’s removal is not a result of the recent Nuclear Surety Inspection failure. However, as the 341 MW prepares for a re-inspection, Stanley must have full confidence in the leadership ability of his commanders. The 341st MW received an “Unsatisfactory” rating during a NSI this month; however the wing continues to remain certified to perform its mission. During a portion of an exercise in one of 13 graded areas unrelated to the control of nuclear weapons, a team did not demonstrate the right procedures. As a result, the inspector general failed them on that exercise, which resulted in the overall “Unsatisfactory” rating. Col. John Wilcox, Air Force Global Strike Command Security Forces Division director, will serve as the interim commander. Thanks to 341st Missile Wing Public Affairs Office 8/25/2013 (Note: Rumors had surfaced a few weeks after the above crash that the Malmstrom AFB commander (341st Missile Wing) was relieved of duty because a UFO was seen on radar and brought down the B1. The rumor stated that the commander was relieved of command because he did not scramble fighters to intercept the UFO. This rumor has never been substantiated. The above article written by the Public Affairs Office of the 341st Missile Wing discusses the removal of the commander, butdoes not list a reason. The commander was removed a few days after the “B-1 Incident.” At this time it is still not known what caused the crash of the B-1. The Air Force is still investigating the incident. The bomber was likely participating in military exercises in the Military Operations Area (MOA) located in Southeastern Montana. The radar chart at right doesn’t show any UFOs in the area when the aircraft was losing altitude. One radar return was detected at around 15,000 feet in the same location where the aircraft went down. However, only one return showed up. This return could have been a radar “angel” or weather related and not a real object. Multiple detects are necessary to confirm that the radar is tracking a real object. The B-1 first appeared on radar at 8:52 AM and was taking off from Ellsworth Air Force Base (AFB) near Rapid City, SD. The aircraft was lost from radar at 9:11 AM. In the last 5 seconds of radar data the aircraft descended 500 feet. Radar data was supplied by the US Air Force.

The ambitious mission is built to first orbit the moon, then propel down to a landing site, after which a small, solar-powered lunar rover will be unleashed. Already on duty orbiting the moon is NASA's Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE). The probe's science instrument commissioning is now underway, after which the spacecraft will drop down to the lower lunar science orbit and start the full science phase of the mission. "The arrival of the Chang'e 3 spacecraft into lunar orbit and then its descent to the surface will result in a significant contamination of the lunar exosphere by the propellant," said Jeff Plescia, who chairs NASA's Lunar Exploration Analysis Group (LEAG), chartered to assist the space agency in planning the scientific exploration of the moon. While Chang'e 3's mission will create some problems for LADEE — in that the US spacecraft would measure not only the native exosphere, but also the Chinese spacecraft's propellant and how it becomes distributed into the lunar exosphere. LADEE will also measure the dust lofted above the lunar surface by the Chang'e 3 touchdown. Thanks to space.com Historic UFO Audio Archive Dating Back to the 40s Recovered Wendy Connors spent several years in the US Air Force working in communications before settling down in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She had an interest in UFOs, and in particular the Air Force’s official investigations into the matter. She was a founding member of the Project Sign Historical Group, which brought together people related to the Air Force’s original UFO investigation program. A historic UFO audio archive documenting the beginning of the modern UFO era has been made available online. The archive was compiled by Wendy Connors and Roderick Dyke Over the years Wendy Connors (shown here) began collecting audio clips from some of the most important interviews of the time. She called her project to preserve these audio clips, “Faded Discs.” The clips included comments from the administrators of the Air Force UFO investigation projects, researchers, astronauts, actors, and presidents, who had something to say about the topic. She painstakingly re-mastered the audio so it could be preserved for posterity.  Kenneth Arnold Some of these interviews include Kenneth Arnold, the pilot who had a very important UFO sighting that ultimately served as the impetus to the Air Force’s entrance into UFO research. There are clips from J. Allen Hynek, the astronomer (shown below) who first served as the US Air Force’s debunker, but eventually turned into a proponent for serious scientific research of UFOs. There are clips from many witnesses involved with some of the important early cases. The UFO subject was taken much more seriously when it first caught the attention of the public. Serious civil debate took place among very credible people, and some of those debates can be found in the files.  Marinkovic and Koi have been working on archiving important UFO files and disseminating them among UFO researchers. Marinkovic said Connors’ Faded Disc compilations were very hard to find, and it took him a few years to locate them all.    Take some time and download and listen to the files. They are fascinating and informative. The work of archivists such as Connors, Dyke, Koi, and Marinkovic is very important. If not for their work an important part of our history could be lost to obscurity.  Thanks to Alejandro Rojas, http://www.openminds.tv/historic-ufo-audio-archive-dating-back-to-the-40s-recovered-1217/ Watchers 7 Video The newest video in the Watchers series, Watchers 7, called “Something is Happening” makes a wonderful Christmas present to convince people we are not alone.

Sightings in the United States

California Strange Lights

 Ventura County --
Heading northbound on the I-101 past Calabasas about 6:30 pm, on November 25, 2013, is when I noticed the ‘SO’. It is low, low enough that its relative location changes subtly as I drive north at 72 mph ~ It is extremely bright, as bright as the moon at least, although much closer to earth. It appears to hover – unlike a plane, and exhibits no evidence of perpetual motion. It has a vaguely diamond shape, but the point of the diamond is towards the sky and ground. I am so fascinated by it that I unwisely use my phone to take a picture of it while trying avoid swerving. Thanks to MUFON CMS.

Desert -- My cousin was on Air Canada flight #799 from Toronto to LAX on Monday, November 25, 2013, and 40 to 45 minutes out from  Los Angeles Airport (LAX) right before descent/approach into LAX) over the desert and mountains areas she glanced out her window and observed three incredibly bright orbs. She managed to get pictures with a small digital camera.
These lights were so bright that she had a difficult time even looking to take
the photos as she felt they could trigger a migraine. It’s difficult to determine if they are airborne on hovering near the ground.

According the flighttracker.com the plane’s altitude was 23,600 feet and was
due at 3:06 pm.

My cousin is an experienced in flying for Air Canada and a trained observer. 
I checked on line to see if there is any type of significant solar panel, mirror solar collector farm in the area that would be noticeable on that flight path and could not find any. In the photo the only infrastructure we could see was a small road in the foreground. Otherwise, the location seemed extremely remote
without any structures.  Thanks to MUFON CMS

Note: The Sun can reflect off water or any shiny surface causing brilliant
flashes.

Florida Gulf UFOs

Indian Rocks Beach --
I called MUFON twice to get investigators out to my location. Since 9 pm, on October 27, 2013, I have brought dozens of witnesses including law enforcement to watch craft come out of the water, space, and within our atmosphere. We have  witnessed on two occasions two different entity types and had HD cameras rolling
for all events! I have hours of HD video and after the past month I can read through MUFON reports and tell you a few other reports people made I have seen with my own eyes.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Maine Light

Chebeague Island – I was on a ferry boat and took zoomed in pictures. The orbs were too large to be a planet or star. The zoomed picture showed a reflective orb just hanging in the air on November 29, 2013.

Massachusetts Lights

Bridgewater – At 6:45 PM, on November 20, 2013, six small orange lights were seen rising vertically from behind the tree line straight up into the sky in a straight line and then slowly congregated into a
circle formation which lasted in the sky for five minutes and then the orange lights slowly disappeared one by one out the sky.  Video of the sighting can be seen here. 

Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.nuforc.com

Michigan Lights

Kalamazoo --
Delivering pizzas in the Arcadia neighborhood, I glanced up
and saw three distant, glowing red lights approaching from the southwest horizon
on November 14, 2013.  They were high in the sky, distanced from each other in
single-file, moving northwest at normal passenger planes pace. At first I
figured they were planes but as the first one grew closer, it struck me as odd.
It didn’t have the typical blinking navigation lights of an aircraft and each had a mass of reddish-orange light flickering like a fire.

A little bit excited, I got out of my car to get to see the second light pass
overhead silently thirty seconds after the first, followed by a third one. By the time the third light was overhead, the first one faded out. They all faded out when they reached the same place. These were not planes. A drawing is attached showing their formation. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Mount Pleasant -- We saw an object that was floating around and kept moving around above the field on November 22, 2013. I saw at first blue, red and sometimes white lights then it started glowing purple. We watched it hover for ten minutes above an open field.Witness didn’t remember seeing any stars and pulled over because it was odd to me and after about 15 minutes we drove off.  I was staring out the window and it seemed to be following because it stayed at the same pace as the car and then stopped.

Nevada UFO

Coaldale – On December 1, 1998, while co-pilot on a TWA airliner air traffic control asked us to make a 40 mile course change to the north which we did. A few minutes later the captain and I saw what looked like a large bluish and lavender hologram appear over area 51 just south of our flight path. It appeared to be approximately 5 miles high and 1/4 to 1/2 mile wide. Small objects which resembled whitish/yellow fire flies came from behind and above our aircraft making a fast 90 degree turn descending into the base of the large hologram. There were more than 10 small
objects and maybe as many as 30 that descended into the hologram. They traveled so fast it was hard to determine how many there were. The entire incident only lasted about 20 to 25 seconds. I asked the Captain "did you see that?" His reply was "neither one of us saw that." Sketch made of hologram. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Mexico White Light

Cimarron -- On October 23, 1998, while Captain of a TWA airliner on route from St. Louis to San Diego the co-pilot and I observed through the cockpit window, a white ball of light straight ahead. I radioed air traffic control for traffic ahead. Air traffic control told me the nearest traffic ahead was over 360 miles but there was a Continental airliner five miles behind us. The ball of light was to the left of the cockpit window, then shot to the right, then back to the left, and traveled straight up and over us at a high rate of speed. The captain of the Continental airliner behind us remarked over the radio, "What the heck was that!" Thanks to MUFON CMS

  New Jersey Triangle Craft

Vincentown -- I have lived close to Joint Base McGuire Dix Lakehurst my entire life and driving home on November 20, 2013 at 6:15 PM, I was headed south on Route 206 in Southampton, when I noticed an object flying about the same speed as a small single engine aircraft. The object was flying North/Northeast near Main Street and made a quick 180 degree turn flying south toward Red Lion Road. As I passed trees along Route 206, I was able to see it make two more quick turns flying in a crisscross pattern. I initially assumed it was a plane landing at the Red Lion Airport, but the sudden quick turns left me puzzled.

As I continued down Route 206, thru the trees I would see the aircraft. Near
Ridge Road the craft was now headed northeast over Route 206 and flew right over me silently. The craft was much larger than a small plane and I assumed it was a military aircraft. It was flying slower and slower than what I am used to seeing on this flight path. I could see a small portion of the underside of the
aircraft between the three bright white lights. The craft was triangle in shape
with one solid white light at each corner and was still several miles to the runway at JBMDL. It quickly disappeared in 15 seconds after it flew over me?  I
think it was a UFO.  Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org and Thanks to MUFON CMS

Pennsylvania Fireball

Havertown -- I was in the parking lot of the new YMCA when my four year old son pointed out several airplanes flying to the west of us on November 18, 2013. Since I was driving, I was only able to glance briefly to see two airplanes and a glowing red fire object that was not a plane. I jumped out of the car immediately upon arriving home with my small video recorder in my hand and saw what appeared to be a giant fire the size of a cargo plane drifting across the sky, silently. I got it on video and was able to zoom in briefly as the object disappeared after a few seconds. The object reappeared much fainter and disappeared as if a fire was put out. Thanks to MUFON CMS.

Texas Orb

Richmond --
woke up about 6:40 AM on November 27, 2013, and I decided to go out and get the
paper and I noticed an orb and the object that was pure white in the clear southeastern sky. I took a second look at it right quick and as I did within a few seconds it disappeared like shutting off a light bulb. The whole event lasted about 6 seconds and it is the exactly the same thing I saw in Utah in June of this year. The object was about 15 miles away at 12 to 15 thousand feet altitude and an eighth of an inch in size near Sugarland. It was traveling east when I first saw it and when it disappeared. I’m going to put in a picture of the one that I took in Utah in June of 2013 and this one is exactly like it.  I’m a field investigator with MUFON and state section director. Thanks to MUFON CMS

This photo was taken on December 3, 2013. This may be an extended time shot showing an aircraft’s lights blinking on and off for several seconds. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Vermont "Fireball"
Phenomenon Continues

Peter Davenport at NUFORC continues to receive numerous, seemingly credible, reports about red, orange, and yellow “orbs,” or “fireballs.”  The phenomenon is of keen interest to our Center because the objects appear to be under intelligent control.  We list below a few sightings on November 20, 2013:

MONTPELIER,  @ 1730 HRS -- “One bright light visible for a couple seconds; it disappeared for a couple seconds, reappeared and split into two, disappeared
again then reappeared as three then four in a uniform row southeast of Montpelier.”

RANDOLPH CENTER, @ 1740 HRS -- “Four fiery orange colored orbs in Northern sky moved from north to west in a perfectly horizontal manner.  Bright orbs were pulsing silently for about 15 seconds before disappearing.”

QUECHEE, @ 1745 HRS -- “Five to six bright fiery objects in a line more like
fireballs.  Not a perfect straight line; spacing looked fairly even but before
they disappeared a couple of them separated somewhat.  I thought it looked like something entering the atmosphere, then burning up on entry but movement was to slow was not like a meteor or debris falling to earth”

NORWICH, @ 1750 HRS -- “I was driving north on I-91 when in the direction of NNW I saw four very bright and large lights (I thought it was a meteor)
disperse.  They then gathered back to a small, faint blinking light.  Five seconds later, they dispersed again, and then vanished.  The faint blinking light began to travel southwest.  I'm guessing the craft was over or near Thetford Center, VT, when I saw it.”  Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.nuforc.com

Wisconsin Orb

 Little Chute -- My wife and I were traveling southbound on Highway 41 returning to our home in Oshkosh from Green Bay. It was late afternoon on November 30, 2013. About one mile outside of Little Chute we noticed a dark circle ahead in the distance over the highways left lane. We watched it as we got closer we realized it was completely motionless. There was a car slightly in front of me on in the left lane that I was sure was going to hit it. As we approached it the object appeared very metallic in the headlights of the car. It hovered over the highway at about 8 feet, and was the size of a basketball or slightly larger. As the car in front of me passed directly underneath it, the object did not move at all. It hovered completely motionless even when the car passed under it. This happened around 4:40 P.M. and as soon as I got home I reported it to Fox 11 news. This was by far the strangest thing I have ever seen in my 33 years on the planet. .

Worldwide UFO Reports

Australia Orbs

Ingham, Queensland – I was in my front yard on November 11, 2013, when a bright gently pulsing orange orb appeared heading southwest at 9 PM, It was significantly brighter than the brightest stars; I ran inside and called my father out who also witnessed the event. The orange orb gently passed through the sky silently at around 9:15 PM. It was not like any normal aircraft and we both agreed it was a very strange thing to be occurring.
The orb changed directions as if it was conducting a turn and stopped twice very briefly before continue its journey toward the southwest until eventually it
gently faded away into thin air in clear night skies. The moon was also present
at the time so the object was very luminous.

 Narrabeen – On November 19th, 2013, at 8.30 PM, two witnesses saw a round red object. They did not feel it could be a Chinese lantern. . A red round ball was slowly moving in the sky. I was driving, pulled around the corner, and then it was gone! Thanks to www.ufoinfo.com

Canada Lights and Spherical Orb

Cobourg -- Ottawa, Ontario – On July 7, 2013 this photo was taken of a strange orb. Is this a lens flare or a UFO? Thanks to MUFON CMS

This appears to be a plasma orb or Earth Light caused by electrical energy below the surface of the phenomena.

Ottawa, Ontario -- I was driving home from work at 4:58 PM on Highway 417
westbound towards Kanata on November 19th 2013, and as I approached the Carling exit I saw an object not too high.  It was flying high enough overhead at an impossible rate of speed to our standards. It had a green and red solid light on it and flew over me heading north. As it was heading for an apartment building it stopped, and kind of spiraled down below the tree line where I then lost sight of it. Thanks to www.ufoinfo.com

India Disc

Rohini, New Delhi, Delhi -- My Mom was seating on the sofa and saw a disc light flying in the sky in an orange and yellowish color on November 26, 2013 about 8:00 PM. My sister ran outside and saw the moving light suddenly get very large, flashing quickly and suddenly vanishing?Thanks to www.ufoinfo.com

Mexico Lights

Tijuana, Baja California – I saw people at the PEMEX gas station capturing video of orbs with their phones, so I grabbed my smart phone to start capturing this video on November 27, 2013. Orbs were
glowing like an orange star in the night sky. There were six orbs in different
positions overhead. A UFO passed over going south in the video, but I did not
 ee it. This is my 2nd sighting on my life, giving me good feelings about the shining lights. My 1st one was at Playas de Tijuana in 1992, when I saw hundreds of silver orbs. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Zealand Disc

Invercargill, Southland --
I was sitting in my lounge when something caught my eye that was moving north and was heading to fly over my house on November 16, 2013, at 3.45
PM. I rushed outside by this time it had passed my house and was travelling
north. I watched it until it disappeared in 20 seconds. There was no noise, and
it flew faster than any airplane. 1t was like a dinner plate facing up and a dinner plate on top facing down in a dark blue in color. Thanks to www.ufoinfo.com

Serbia Triangle

Novi Sad – I was walking my dog about an hour after midnight on September 22, 2012, when looked to the skies I noticed this formation of about five lights. It was a quiet night in our very peaceful city, but I was not able to hear any sound from this formation. When I first noticed it they were southwest moving across the night sky. The lights were kind of blurry like in a fog and then they just vanished. I only those lights flying silently in a triangular formation. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Turkey Cylinder Light

Esra -- I went outside and saw the light move higher in the first two seconds on November 22, 2013. It was quiet and quickly went up to about 10 miles ahead. There was no sound and I
felt nervous, but it moved fast and I did not even have time to tell them. And
it seems, as if an object was an illuminated circle. It was quiet and moved ten kilometers and later stopped. I had a phone in my hands and wanted to take
pictures. However, the photos that captured the object appeared as if they were small. I noticed that light came out of the objects and I saw a small object that I feel was the UFO. Thanks to MUFON CMS

UK/ England Lights UFO
Caught Over Wind Farm

Canada Lights and Spherical OrbMoston, Sandbach,
Cheshire – Two witnesses on November 20th 2013, saw two roundish bright white lights and a very small orange light moving around at 9 PM. It flew around for 3/4 of an hour and then just disappeared. An hour later lights went out in our house but came on but very faint!! Thanks to www.ufoinfo.com

Devon – On November 23, 2013, UFO. This photo was taken at Fullabrook Wind Farm of a disc last Saturday. The location is very close to some military bases, which cause some people in Devon to believe the UFO was monitoring the military base. This is a very interesting and long report and if you would like to read it the like is below.

Wigan – My colleagues and I were at work at Stocks Hall Residential Home in Ormskirk on November 26, 2013.
My colleagues and I went outside at 12 am, for a cigarette and spotted moving lights. I said to both my colleagues "What is it". The three of us stepped forward to get a better look. When going out of the drive we had full view and I started to film on my mobile phone. This thing was the size of a football field if not bigger
and it was flipping like a coin to one side of the sky to another and while spinning and pulsating from the middle. Whilst this was happening I asked one of my colleagues to go and get our other colleague so she could see. None of us could believe what we were seeing. My colleague started taking pictures and when we looked back and it was gone. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Additionally, I have decided to include my book within the DVD that includes George Ritter's exciting abduction story by Linda Moulton Howe. Broadcaster David E. Twichell has also included much of his excellent dialog for a donation of only $50.

Weird Glowing Alien-Like Creature Caught On Cam – What Is It?? (Video)

Before It's News)

By Susan Duclos

What is described in the YouTube title of the very short video below, as an “alien-like” creature which was spotted, photographed and video footage taken of at the Bristol Harbour, appears to be a brightly glowing blue creature of some type.

Not only does it just glow but as it is filmed that glow brightens considerably into an almost blinding light.

The video was uploaded to YouTube by John Tombe on December 3, 2013, and the details state “Filmed this tonight. What the hell?”
