Humanoid Incursion Reports 4
Humanoid Incursion Reports 4
Here are a few more selected reports that detail real-life incursions / encounters by humanoid beings:
THE BLUE MARK
Location/Date: Sizabantu South Africa – 1972 – night
A woman was lying in her bed one night when she heard a sound of a helicopter overhead and felt like a whirlwind was surrounding her. Somehow she was taken out of the house and soon found herself inside an object where several robot-like beings examined her with numerous types of instruments. She felt no pain during the procedure and the “robots” communicated with her via telepathy. Among other things they told her that she was not fully developed.
Before returning her back to the house the humanoids told her that she could wish for anything she wanted it and they would grant her the wish. She told them that she wanted to marry. They thought it was a small wish and told her she should wish for bigger things, but she declined. The instruments were removed from her body and she was brought back home.
Later one of the robots returned explaining that they had ‘forgotten’ an instrument. He soon dismantled a machine that was still on her leg and left. A large blue mark remained in that area of the leg for several weeks.

THE CREATORS
Location/Date: San Francisco, California – May 16 1988 – evening
The witness was instructed via telepathy to go back to her hotel room. Inside she felt strongly that she was being watched, and then she suddenly became extremely emotional and curled on the bed crying.
White beams of light suddenly began emanating from her mouth, nose, eyes, and ears. A female being suddenly appeared, she was described as having pleasant facial features, a very angular face with large dark eyes and whitish gray glowing skin. This being comforted the witness and told her that “they” were our “creators.” The being communicated by using telepathy. The witness was also able to see two men dressed in white “biblical” robes. These appeared to be monitoring her vital signs. All throughout the incident the female being calmed the witness by explaining to her the purpose of the contacts.

THE RED ANGEL
Location/Date: Between Kinyara & Kitanosie, Uganda -1995 – night
The anonymous witness was walking home on a road through the sugar cane fields. He abruptly stopped by the side of the road which was near an unfinished air strip and turned to his left. There stood a huge red colored winged creature with glowing blond curly hair and what seemed to be a halo effect surrounding his head.
The sugarcane at the time had been left uncut for many years and stood about 16 ft tall. The “angel” was about 12 ft tall and the most beautiful creature that he had ever seen. The being appeared to have an additional set of ribs that were below his normal ribs unlike a human being. At waist level his legs were fur like and it stood upon hooves instead of feet. They stood about 60 ft apart and just looked at each other for about 5 minutes. The being exuded a very bright light from its body and his head, which gave a halo effect.
The witness thrust his hand towards the being as a gesture of contact and at this point heard a message of a religious nature and of future warning for humanity, all in his mind. After the message the “Red Angel” turned and his wings unfurled and trailed behind his body as he returned back into the sugar cane. The witness continued to walk towards home.
About 150 yards further up the road the “Red Angel” appeared again standing amongst the cane. The witness turned and faced him again, this time standing about 30 ft away. The being’s face, although white, was glistening black as if in a shadow. Soon the bizarre humanoid disappeared into the sugarcane field again.

LA ZONA DEL SILENCIO HUMANOIDS
Location/Date: Near Ceballos, Chihuahua, Mexico – Winter 1974 – dusk
A clergyman camping in an isolated and mysterious area called “La Zona Del Silencio” was preparing his tent when he heard a buzzing and saw a bright glowing object descending from the sky. The witness wanted to run but could not move as the object drew closer and hovered briefly above the desert floor. The object’s light changed from a whitish blue to a red orange. Moments later the object dimmed and the outline of a metallic disc shaped object came into view.
The witness stood paralyzed as three tripod legs extracted out of the lower part of the object, the object then landed. Seconds later a door appeared in the side of the craft and a stairway descended to the ground. Four figures then stepped out. They were described as humanoid about five-foot tall. Their bodies were encased in a shiny metallic suit totally seamless. They were of stocky build with almond shaped eyes, a sharp nose, leathery skin, and a tanned complexion. The beings approached the witness in very quick movements and communicated with the witness in English asking him several questions mostly about his business in the area. They also mentioned a “God.”
The witness was then invited onboard the object and shown a large interior with several control panels and a device was placed on his head. Later he was released and the object retracted its tripod, started glowing, and then took off emitting a loud humming sound.

WAKING UP
Location/Date: North Wales (no exact location) – May 1998 – after midnight
The witness remembers waking up on a black dentist-like chair with a woman standing over him. She looked very human and if he were to describe her she looked like a “perfect human”. She had jet-black hair in what the witness described as a “bun”. She was wearing an all in one black suit and she also seemed to have a black collar as well. The material was similar to PVC and shiny. He doesn’t remember if there were any markings or patterns on the suit but the witness does remember that she had black lipstick on.
The woman disappeared into a room that was behind the “dentist’s chair” to the right of the witness. The chair seemed to be situated away from the front part of the room in an open but separate part of the room. The room seemed to have carpet, brown in color. His next memory was of being sat next to 4 or 5 people, they were all men. The men were different from the women and they had blond hair and were wearing light blue suits. There were about 4 or 5 of them and four of the men looked identical, again very human like in appearance. But one of the men looked different but he like the others was wearing the same clothing and had the same hair color. Again their clothing seemed to be one-piece. However the witness seems to recall that they had a yellow V-shape on the front going from one shoulder down to the chest and back up to the other shoulder. The line seemed to be an inch thick.
These men sat in front of what appeared to be machinery with orange flashing lights. Only one of the men spoke to him, the others seemed to be busy. The one that spoke to the witness was the one that was different from the others. The controls seemed to be in front of what appeared to be windows and he remembered the room being a half circle. There were windows next to each other right across the room outside was black. One of the blond men spoke to the witness orally, but he could not reply, the man appeared to be able to read the witness thoughts. He could not recall most of the conversation but remembered thinking about Australia for some unknown reason. His next memory was of looking through the windows at a coastline, but he was viewing it from the sea.
Then the woman that he had previously met seemed to appear again from another room, and said that the men should not talk to him and that it was time for him to leave. His next memory was of sitting on his bed looking out the window for some strange . After a week after this experience he developed an infection in the roof of his mouth, it finally developed into a cyst that’s still there today.

BEAUTIFUL AND SLENDER’ CREATURES
Location: Harsby, Ostergotland, Sweden - Date: June 12 1956 – TIME: 7:00 pmreason
Mrs Brita Raninger sat beneath an oak meditating when she heard a monotonous buzzing sound and saw an object which looked like a flat plate resting on a glade about 150-200 meters away. It had a cupola and was shimmering with a blue green color. The diameter was about 4.5 m and it was 120-130 cm in height.
Then she saw a couple of Mongol-like “beautiful and slender” creatures running around the object. They were about 150 cm tall and dressed in shining green, tight fitting coveralls, uniform like and made out of a material similar to leather. They had no hoods, but their long, black, and curly hair fell on their shoulders. They moved swiftly around the object and when one of them turned around and stared at the witness, she felt as though hypnotized. She got the impression, maybe by telepathy that they had landed to repair the vehicle. The witness was not afraid but was somewhat shaken and felt stiff.
10-12 minutes later the creatures ran into the object where their faces were seen in the cupola, smiling. A strong buzzing sound was heard and the object took off circling slowly at first, then shot away like a rocket. The object left an acrid smell of phosphorus in the glade. A few weeks later a friend found a round circle in the glade where the grass was scorched and burnt.

Daily 2 Cents: Zeriod / Bioform UFOs — ‘I’m terrified’ — 300 Meter Cylinder UFO Witnessed Over UkraineDaily 2 Cents: Zeriod / Bioform UFOs — ‘I’m terrified’ — 300 Meter Cylinder UFO Witnessed Over Ukraine
UFO field researcher Gary Mansfield of Nashville, TN recently forwarded these images of zeriod / bioform UFOs. For several years he has been attempting to get help from organizations with the means to further his research. MUFON’s response to Gary has been less than helpful…of course, they would want the lion’s share of credit for their cursory aid. Each time I present Gary’s photo captures, I receive inquiries…but so far no one as come forward with serious intentions.
Some UFOs seem to be living organisms…possibly actual alien life-forms. I have been interested in this phenomenon since I started my investigation of the ‘flying rays’. Could alien craft be ‘alive’…beings that can convert their bodies into a flying craft? I believe further study is needed.

Did group make contact with King Richard III?
Amateur ghost hunters claim to have made contact with the spirit of someone called Richard during a séance at a house with connections to Richard III.
The 12 members of Haunted Heritage recorded the spooky encounter at Donington le Heath Manor House last year, but said they did not want to publicise it at the time due to the furore surrounding the discovery of the remains of the king.
Medium Gill Hibbert, 56, from Coalville, said the name Richard was especially significant because the group was standing next to the bed in which the Plantagenet monarch was reported to have spent his last night before riding out to meet his end at Bosworth in 1485.
The audio clip clearly captures a man’s voice saying “Richard” in response to the question, “what is your name?”
Gill, who works at a leisure centre during the day, said: “It was in the main room upstairs in the manor house – it was coming up to the witching hour.
“We had been there since 8pm. At about 11.45pm, we started the call-out session.
“We were standing in the dark, but there was a bit of light coming in through the window.”
Gill asked whether anyone was there, and for them to “come forward”.
She switched on the ghost box – a modified radio which allows spirits to “speak” through white noise – and called out again.
She said: “Then we heard the name, ‘Richard’ – it was so clear. We were blown away.
“The night was quite uneventful up until then – we had a few knocks and bangs – but when that came through it was the icing on the cake.”
The part-time paranormal investigators were at the manor house, near Coalville, in October.
Gill said it was one of the best examples of paranormal contact they had experienced. He said the recording was so clear it was graded A (the top level) in the electronic voice phenomenon chart.
The group has now contacted professional paranormal investigators to have the recording analysed further.
However, Gill said the group was not jumping to conclusions.
She said: “We’re not saying it’s Richard III.
“We’re trying to get a historian from Donington Le Heath to look into other Richards who have lived there. But no one has found anything yet. We are being careful about saying it’s Richard III because we can’t prove it.” – Leicester Mercury

‘I’m terrified’
So I’ve had, what I consider to be, paranormal experiences before. I see things, I’ve been growled at, and I feel presences. I’m pretty good at ignoring everything. I also like to rationalize what I experience, but sometimes there is nothing I can think of.
So here is what happened last night. I was trying to fall asleep. I was almost there when I heard a deep voice in my ear. I wish I knew that it said, but I couldnt understand it. I have heard it before, and last time it said ‘die.’ I closed my eyes and started saying my prayers (Hail Mary, Our Father, etc). Suddenly my bed began to shake. Thinking it was a dream, I opened my eyes. That was not the case. I tried to scream, but I don’t have much of a voice currently, so I could only let out a small shrill. I just closed my eyes until it was over. I then got up to walk around and tried to convince myself it was a dream. I just so happened to look at the clock and it was 2:40am. Almost 3. I didn’t like that. There’s nothing I could do so I said my prayers again and went to sleep.
During my shower this morning, I felt a burning on my left calf. The water was not hot at all, but rather lukewarm. I look down and I had 3 scratches where I felt the burn. I had not touched that area at all. To try to debunk it, I scratched myself as hard as I could, but nothing I did could even come close to replicating that. I have a picture of he scratches if anybody wants to see.
I also had a difficult time breathing in my room today, but when I go elsewhere, I’m fine. I’ve also been nauseous. I’m trying to discount this as just being scared, but no matter how scared I’ve been, for whatever reason, I’ve never been nauseous.
Please note that I don’t believe I have ever done anything to draw spirits to myself. I am a devout Catholic and always have been, if that makes any difference to you. I currently live at school, so there could be something there already, and I might be more sensitive to it than others. – reddit

300 Meter Cylinder UFO Witnessed Over Ukraine
This is on the outskirts of Kramatorsk, Ukraine. About 10 am in the morning. Filmed at 4-17-2014, but actual may be 4-16-2014, considering the context. Author says it’s 4-17-2014.
Ukrainian tanks. Russian activists. Gunfire. And if you look above them, there is a 300 meter long cylinder hovering above them. No cloudcover.
It’s the same object that ran through Korosten, Ukraine on 4-6-2014.
Make a backup of this video. The Korosten video’s are being pulled. I’ve included a Korosten photo in case you don’t recall.
The fact that you aren’t using SSL/Tor for submissions garners alot of trust with people, I imagine. Might want to correct that. Take care. – MUFON CMS

Bloedmaan leidt tot voorspellingen over einde van de wereld

Om de zoveel tijd komt er een nieuwe voorspelling voorbij: de wereld zoals we die kennen komt ten einde. Deze week was het grootste gedeelte van Noord-Amerika in de ban van de eerste van de vier ‘bloedmanen’. Het was een groot spektakel: de volle maan trok door de schaduw van de aarde en kleurde bloedrood.
De komende twee jaar zullen er nog eens drie totale maansverduisteringen zijn. Ze vallen allemaal op joodse feestdagen: 8 oktober, 4 april 2015 en 28 september 2015. Volgens sommige pastoors is hier geen sprake van toeval. Ze wijzen erop dat God beloofde dat hij ons tekenen zou geven door middel van de zon en de maan, en ‘die zien we nu’.
Eén van die pastoors is Mark Biltz, oprichter van El Shaddai Ministries in de staat Washington. In zijn boek ‘Blood Moons: Decoding the Imminent Heavenly Signs’ schrijft hij over aanwijzingen in Bijbelteksten dat er iets belangrijks staat te gebeuren. “Er is een goede kans dat er oorlog komt met Israël,” zei Blitz. “Ik acht het ook mogelijk is dat er sprake zal zijn van een economische calamiteit. Ik baseer dat op de Bijbel en op patronen.”
Pastoor John Hagee schreef een bestseller over de bloedmaan. “Er is een gevoel dat dingen veranderen en dat God op een bovennatuurlijke manier met ons probeert te communiceren,” zei hij.
Volgens wetenschappers zijn maansverduisteringen niet zeldzaam. Tijdens de 21e eeuw kwam een tetrade – een serie van vier totale verduisteringen – negen keer voor. Tussen 1600 en 1900 is er geen enkele tetrade geweest. Duidt dit op de terugkomst van Jezus? Hagee en Blitz zeggen niet expliciet dat de verduisteringen wijzen op de wederkomst, maar volgens Blitz behoort het zeker tot de mogelijkheden.
Blitz merkt op dat eerdere tetrades samenvielen met belangrijke gebeurtenissen uit de geschiedenis van Israël. In 1492 werden de Joden verbannen uit Spanje en ontdekte Christoffel Columbus Amerika. In 1948 werd de moderne staat Israël geboren en in 1967 won Israël de Zesdaagse Oorlog en veroverde het Jeruzalem.
Waarom is deze tetrade belangrijker dan alle andere die deze eeuw zullen plaatsvinden? Dat heeft volgens Blitz te maken met joodse feestdagen. “We trekken rode grenzen – politieke rode grenzen,” zei hij. “Ik denk dat deze vier bloedmanen Gods rode grenzen zijn. Zijn tekenen.”
Wat er ook gebeurt, we weten dat er op 28 september 2015 – op de joodse feestdag Soekot – een totale maansverduistering en een supermaan zal zijn. De maan lijkt dan 14 procent groter dan normaal en kleurt mogelijk weer bloedrood.
First potentially habitable Earth-sized planet confirmed by Gemini and Keck observatories
First potentially habitable Earth-sized planet confirmed by Gemini and Keck observatories

The diagram compares the planets of the inner solar system to Kepler-186, a five-planet system about 500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus. The five planets of Kepler-186 orbit a star classified as a M1 dwarf, measuring half the size and mass of the sun. The Kepler-186 system is home to Kepler-186f, the first validated Earth-size planet orbiting a distant star in the habitable zone—a range of distances from a star where liquid water might pool on the surface of an orbiting planet. The discovery of Kepler-186f confirms that Earth-size planets exist in the habitable zone of other stars and signals a significant step closer to finding a world similar to Earth. Kepler-186f is less than ten percent larger than Earth in size, but its mass and composition are not known. Kepler-186f orbits its star once every 130-days and receives one-third the heat energy that Earth does from the sun, placing it near the outer edge of the habitable zone. The inner four companion planets all measure less than fifty percent the size of Earth. Kepler-186b, Kepler-186c, Kepler-186d, and Kepler-186e, orbit every three, seven, 13, and 22 days, respectively, making them very hot and inhospitable for life as we know it. The Kepler space telescope, which simultaneously and continuously measured the brightness of more than 150,000 stars, is NASA's first mission capable of detecting Earth-size planets around stars like our sun. Kepler does not directly image the planets it detects. The space telescope infers their existence by the amount of starlight blocked when the orbiting planet passes in front of a distant star from the vantage point of the observer. The artistic concept of Kepler-186f is the result of scientists and artists collaborating to help imagine the appearance of these distant
The first Earth-sized exoplanet orbiting within the habitable zone of another star has been confirmed by observations with both the W. M. Keck Observatory and the Gemini Observatory. The initial discovery, made by NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope, is one of a handful of smaller planets found by Kepler and verified using large ground-based telescopes. It also confirms that Earth-sized planets do exist in the habitable zone of other stars.
“What makes this finding particularly compelling is that this Earth-sized planet, one of five orbiting this star, which is cooler than the Sun, resides in a temperate region where water could exist in liquid form,” says Elisa Quintana of the SETI Institute and NASA Ames Research Center who led the paper published in the current issue of the journal Science. The region in which this planet orbits its star is called the habitable zone, as it is thought that life would most likely form on planets with liquid water.
Steve Howell, Kepler’s Project Scientist and a co-author on the paper, adds that neither Kepler (nor any telescope) is currently able to directly spot an exoplanet of this size and proximity to its host star. “However, what we can do is eliminate essentially all other possibilities so that the validity of these planets is really the only viable option.”
With such a small host star, the team employed a technique that eliminated the possibility that either a background star or a stellar companion could be mimicking what Kepler detected. To do this, the team obtained extremely high spatial resolution observations from the eight-meter Gemini North telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawai`i using a technique called speckle imaging, as well as adaptive optics (AO) observations from the ten-meter Keck II telescope, Gemini’s neighbor on Mauna Kea. Together, these data allowed the team to rule out sources close enough to the star’s line-of-sight to confound the Kepler evidence, and conclude that Kepler’s detected signal has to be from a small planet transiting its host star.
“The Keck and Gemini data are two key pieces of this puzzle,” says Quintana. “Without these complementary observations we wouldn’t have been able to confirm this Earth-sized planet.”
The Gemini “speckle” data directly imaged the system to within about 400 million miles (about 4 AU, approximately equal to the orbit of Jupiter in our solar system) of the host star and confirmed that there were no other stellar size objects orbiting within this radius from the star. Augmenting this, the Keck AO observations probed a larger region around the star but to fainter limits. According to Quintana,
“These Earth-sized planets are extremely hard to detect and confirm, and now that we’ve found one, we want to search for more. Gemini and Keck will no doubt play a large role in these endeavors.”
The host star, Kepler-186, is an M1-type dwarf star relatively close to our solar system, at about 500 light years and is in the constellation of Cygnus. The star is very dim, being over half a million times fainter than the faintest stars we can see with the naked eye. Five small planets have been found orbiting this star, four of which are in very short-period orbits and are very hot. The planet designated Kepler-186f, however, is earth-sized and orbits within the star’s habitable zone. The Kepler evidence for this planetary system comes from the detection of planetary transits. These transits can be thought of as tiny eclipses of the host star by a planet (or planets) as seen from Earth. When such planets block part of the star’s light, its total brightness diminishes. Kepler detects that as a variation in the star’s total light output and evidence for planets. So far more than 3,800 possible planets have been detected by this technique with Kepler.
The Gemini data utilized the Differential Speckle Survey Instrument (DSSI) on the Gemini North telescope. DSSI is a visiting instrument developed by a team led by Howell who adds, “DSSI on Gemini Rocks! With this combination, we can probe down into this star system to a distance of about 4 times that between Earth and the Sun. It’s simply remarkable that we can look inside other solar systems.” DSSI works on a principle that utilizes multiple short exposures of an object to capture and remove the noise introduced by atmospheric turbulence producing images with extreme detail.
Observations with the W.M. Keck Observatory used the Natural Guide Star Adaptive Optics system with the NIRC2 camera on the Keck II telescope. NIRC2 (the Near-Infrared Camera, second generation) works in combination with the Keck II adaptive optics system to obtain very sharp images at near-infrared wavelengths, achieving spatial resolutions comparable to or better than those achieved by the Hubble Space
Telescope at optical wavelengths. NIRC2 is probably best known for helping to provide definitive proof of a central massive black hole at the center of our galaxy. Astronomers also use NIRC2 to map surface features of solar system bodies, detect planets orbiting other stars, and study detailed morphology of distant galaxies.
“The observations from Keck and Gemini, combined with other data and numerical calculations, allowed us to be 99.98% confident that Kepler-186f is real,” says Thomas Barclay, a Kepler scientist and also a co-author on the paper. “Kepler started this story, and Gemini and Keck helped close it,” adds Barclay.

Aurora UFO crash remains a Texas alien mystery
Aurora UFO crash remains a Texas alien mystery

Legend has it that the alien grave in Aurora lies underneath the bent arm of an old tree, far left, in the Aurora Cemetery. Requests to exhume the body in the past have been denied by the cemetery board.
By John Boyd
Aurora, Texas was Roswell before Roswell: a middle-of-nowhere town that suddenly became surrounded by legend when an alleged alien visitor crash-landed from outer space.
On this date in 1897 the alien UFO allegedly smashed into a windmill belonging to Judge J.S. Proctor. It’s pilot, who an officer from a local Army outpost described as a “Martian” and “not of this world” died and was buried in the cemetery nearby.
The reported crash was one of several American alien mysteries of the mid-1890s, but the most notable one (if not only) recorded in Texas.
Today, the only reminder of the visit, which occurred on this date in 1897, is a small historical marker near the Aurora Cemetery.
Buried deep in its stories of town founders and war heroes is a single line about the visitor supposedly buried in an unmarked grave there:
“The oldest known graves, here, dating from as early as the 1860s, are those of the Randall and Rowlett families. Finis Dudley Beauchamp (1825-1893), a Confederate veteran from Mississippi, donated the 3-acre site to the newly- formed Aurora Lodge No. 479, A.F. & A.M., in 1877. For many years, this community burial ground was known as Masonic Cemetery. Beauchamp, his wife Caroline (1829-1915), and others in their family. An epidemic which struck the village in 1891 added hundreds of graves to the plot. Called “Spotted Fever” by the settlers, the disease is now thought to be a form of meingitis. Located in Aurora Cemetery is the gravestone of the infant Nellie Burris (1891-1893) with its often-quoted epitaph: “As I was so soon done, I don’t know why I was begun.” This site is also well-known because of the legend that a spaceship crashed nearby in 1897 and the pilot, killed in the crash, was buried here. Struck by epidemic and crop failure and bypassed by the railroad, the original town of Aurora almost disappeared, but the cemetery remains in use with over 800 graves. Veterans of the Civil War, World Wars I and II, and the Korean and Vietnam conflicts are interred here.”
The single line seems about as interested as Aurora is in becoming famous from the supposed crash.
On the 110th anniversary of the crash, former Houston Chronicle writer Eyder Peralta (now with NPR) visited Aurora, 30 miles north of Fort Worth and found the townsfolk mostly apathetic about the alien visitor then, or the scores of new human visitors who have come to visit the infamous crash site.
The visitors had been fun at first, but when they began trampling the cemetery and stealing headstones and other artifacts from the city museum, the town’s notoriety became a nuisance.
In the 1970s, a group from the International UFO Bureau showed up to exhume the body – media in tow – but were turned away by angry residents.
“There was quite a mess,” one resident, Karen Tedrow, told Peralta. “The residents had guns and everything, because they didn’t want them to do it. And I understand, because my parents are buried there, and I don’t want them digging around. Earthly body or not, they ought to let it rest in peace.”

Massive Swastika Found Under Ancient Lake in Antarctica
A shocking Ministry of Defense report on Russian media about a massive underwater structure shaped like a Nazi-like swastika discovered in an ancient lake in Antarctica has sparked fears.

Most interesting to note about Admiral Byrd’s Operation Highjump mission was his solo flight towards the South Pole on February 19, 1947 wherein he recorded in his diary the following:

Date: November 26 1973 Time: 01:00 a.m.
A man and a woman in a parked car on the Canourge road, Mairieux, noticed a white metallic looking hemispherical object some 50 ft wide in the snow covered fields, 100 yards away. Presently a dark opening appeared in this, from which 6 beings, of 3 different kinds, emerged. First were 3 small humanoids with large heads, 4 ft tall. They had protruding eyes with conspicuous whites, holes for a nose, narrow mouths, and bulging cheeks; their arms were long. They were dressed in tight one-piece suits of metallic appearance. Each carried a dark box 6” on a side whose upper surface bore a round white luminous “screen.” They walked slowly, with stiff small steps, and fanned out as if searching for something. Gradually they approached the road, until within 50 ft of the witnesses. Behind them, nearer to the hemisphere, stood 2 human figures about 6.5 ft tall, with light complexions and blond shoulder length hair, likewise dressed in tight fitting one piece metallic suits, closest to the door stood a squat figure, with long dangling arms, apparently covered with dark fur, “resembling a bear of great ape.” When after about 10 minutes the small beings began to approach the car, the young woman became frightened and jump out, slamming the door, and ran back to her own car which stood close by. At this, the man saw all the figures stood still, then the “animal” reentered the object, followed quickly by the 2 humans and then the 3 humanoids, which ran back with such long, swift strides that they looked as if they were “flying over the ground.” The dark opening disappeared, and the UFO took on a brilliant metallic color, and rose vertically for 30 ft, then shot off westwards, becoming successively orange luminous, bluish, and reddish before dwindling to a point. This all happened with such speed that the young woman observed only the recession of the luminous object. The witnesses did not seek for traces in the snow. However, strange tracks in the snow were found later that morning by a Mrs. Michel and her children in the garden of their house in Maubeuge, 1.1 mile away, implying a connection.

Six schoolchildren reported seeing a very small disc shaped object, blue in color, and land on some bushes near their school. Five little men described as only 3 inches tall emerged from the object. One was dressed in a yellow suit, the other four in blue uniforms. They were seen installing some type of aerial on a tree branch that apparently sent out signals. The witnesses became frightened and ran away.

Visitation in “Las Prusianas” Argentina, 1980
For more high strange visit www.churchofmabusradio.com
Location: Near Rafaela, Santa Fe, Argentina
Date: February 13 1980 Time: 1215p-1230p
The witness, C.R.S., along with two other men had gone to inspect a newly acquired property and lot on the north side of a local stream called “Las Prusianas”. After a-while the three men split up and the witness feeling tired decided to rest and wait for the other men. As he sat drinking some water he suddenly noticed at about 25 meters away a human-like figure walking on the stream bed. Curious the witness stood up and advanced several steps in order to obtain a good look at the figure. Suddenly, filled with an unearthly peace and harmony, the witness stops and stares at the totally human-like figure seemingly losing all notion of time, the figure is wearing a metallic white-colored one-piece suit, very tight-fitting, that covered its hands, feet and head, except for the face. And the areas around its shoulders, knees, neck, elbows and waist it had what appeared to be 3 “rings” which apparently facilitated its movements. On its back it had a large square “back-pack” similar to the ones used by modern day “astronauts” and on the right side of the back-pack the witness saw a long hose like protrusion shaped like a golf stick which the entity seemed to introduce into the stream’s waters, presumably to absorb water. As the entity performed this operation it bends over slightly, once this was done, the hose-like implement slides back into the backpack. Moments later in a “mechanical” type movement the entity turns sharply to its right remaining facing the witness, the entity immediately then starts moving towards the witness stopping at about 10meters away. The stunned witness notices that the figure moves in strange fluid movements as if stepping on an “air cushion”, he observes as the grass seems to flatten and part in front of the entity. Despite the fact that the figure is about 10 meters from him, the witness for some reason is unable to distinguish the entity’s facial features and cannot see if is wearing gloves. The entity seems totally indifferent to the presence of the witness. The entity then turns and walks into the nearby thick brush which also seems to part as he advances through it, and it also closes behind him. The witness points out that the thick brush in the area is very rough and spiny but it appears not to affect the entity. At no time did the witness see any anomalous lights, noises or see any unidentified crafts. Later when the two other men return the witness does not tell them what he had seen but does ask them if they had seen anything strange, apparently they had not.

Translation by Albert S. Rosales
Is Heaven Another Dimension?Is Heaven Another Dimension?
Carl Sagan explains it well…
When I was a kid and laid down on the grass at night and studied the stars, I often thought about how vast it is. Too vast for us to understand. Are we seeing the universe as it really is, or just dots and bits of something even bigger? What if our earth and other planets are nothing more than cells that make up something inconceivably larger? Something like if the cells in your body see each other, but would not know they were part of a bigger thing called a human being. They have no perspective to understand that concept. We look at planets and stars and think that's it, a lot of objects floating in a giant space.
Consider this: We have 2-dimensional things in our world, such as images on photographs and TV screens. If you were from another planet and visited us, it would seem quite strange that a human could study a box for hours at a time and find entertainment, but it is the images and added soundtrack that stimulate our mind, so we watch the TV screen. If you were inside the TV screen, all you would see around you are the things in your periphery, width and length, but there is no height, so you have no perspective that there are 3-dimensional beings outside of your TV screen watching you.
Now, imagine if you will that if we in the 3-dimensional world of height, breadth, depth, width, mass, can be entertained by watching 2-dimensional activity, imagine what those in the next dimension might feel about our 3-dimensional world? Whereas we use paper and pen to conceptualize in 2-D form but see it as only representational and not real, might the next dimensionals use the third dimension to conceptualize and use it as representation but not reality? We can co-exist with the second dimension in the same space, and so we might be sharing our space with the next dimension–well, almost certainly!
When we can conceive of other dimensions simultaneously occurring, we can also perhaps explain some things that have baffled us, such as apparitions appearing and disappearing, UFOs arriving and departing in ways that appear to defy known laws of physics. How about poltergeist movement of objects? Something like that Carl Sagan explanation of a 3-dimensional being grasping a 2-dimensional being and lifting him out of his context. It might be that the item was not thrown by unseen forces, but perhaps manipulated by the next dimension and to us it appeared to occur quite magically. I'd compare this to dripping a drop of paint on a photo image and having Mr. Photo Image go “where did that come from? It just appeared in my world.”
What is even more intriguing about these concepts is that if we did catch glimpses of other dimensional “things,” we are very likely only seeing the portion of it we can conceive of in our 3rd dimension:
If you were in a 1-dimensional world, you could see in front and behind you, but not to the sides or up and down.
If you were in a 2-dimensional world, you could see in front and back and to the sides, but not up and down.
If you are in a 3-dimensional world (which we are), you could see front and back, sides and up and down.
I hope I got you thinking a bit more and wondering why I put this on a ghost hunting theories site. It is entirely possible that what we consider the afterlife is really freeing ourselves from the 3-dimensional body to be all-knowing, all-encompassing. We dominate over the 2-D world and we can do so because we can tackle it from all its dimensions, but what can another dimension do to our 3-D world? Could it be that it is a universe that can conceive of everything while having no need for mass as we know it? Does just a physical form of us get shed so we might go onto be unencumbered by such things and be able to conceptualize the next dimension? This is very much like what near-death experiencers describe; that was the real world, this world they came back to is the fake one.
Wouldn't it make it very hard indeed for the next dimension to interact with us in a way we can understand? If we put a drawing on a piece of paper next to another doodle we did earlier, it sees that another of its kind is nearby, but knows nothing of how it got there or why minutes later it was erased from existence. This is sort of like seeing a glimmering apparition for a few brief seconds to have it disappear or even a UFO. We only see part of this next dimensional being because we can only view it in our 3rd dimensional reference, just like that 2-dimensional drawing only saw another dot nearby it and recognized a dot as “his kind” even though it was a human standing there. With no ability to conceptualize height, it was simply another one of his being friends; the part of him he has the concept to recognize.
What part of the next dimension can we not visualize?
So, is Heaven the next dimension?
Using our own world as a comparison, imagine that we draw up a sketch of a machine we want to build. We plot it out on 2-dimensional form and then build it into the 3-dimensional form. Our 2-dimensional concept became a 3-dimensional reality. Now, image that there is a “God” and this God sends one of His out to greet us and we see him only in his 3-dimensional form because that is the only way we can view things (like that poor 2-dimensional fellow would only see us 3-dimensionals as a dot). So, this man has abilities to make things appear and disappear (like that 3-dimensional man moving around the 2-dimensional objects) and we call this man a God and name him Jesus or other visionary. What if when a person passes on, he is actually being represented in the next dimensional plane as that drawing we made became a machine we built. We are nothing more than a concept in the third dimension but we become a reality in the next dimension… afterlife.
If this has piqued your interest and you want to go further on such explorations, here's some great sources –

Alien‘s DNA Polygraph Results Revealed Mystery Blonde Leaves Hair
Behind — But Who Was She? An abduction case from Australia has resulted in what may be the world’s first DNA test of abduction-related biological material.
In July 1992, Peter had the experience that became the focus of this case study. Because the experience had disturbing sexual aspects, Peter was very reticent to talk about it. He first mentioned it to Bill Chalker, one of Australia’s leading researchers, in 1996.
He showed Chalker that he had recovered an unusual strand of hair from the encounter. In 1996, Peter was hypnotically regressed by Pulitzer prize-winning, Harvard psychiatrist John Mack to try to clarify the 1988 experience. Under Mack’s regression Peter described being taken into an illuminated room. He was on a table with one entity above him, speaking to him but with a sound like birds chirping. It was one person – a shadowy tall figure – but the sound seemed like 50 of them. Peter thought at the time, how was he going to remember what the entity told him.

VANCOUVER, BC – In an ExopoliticsTV interview with Alfred Lambremont Webre, cosmologist Laura Magdalene Eisenhower, affirmed that an Extraterrestrial invasion has already occurred and governments do not want us to know. Reiterating her statement before the World Symposium in San Marino, Ms. Eisenhower stated, “There has been a massive cover up in regards to ET contact with our governments and there has been much secrecy in regards to those who have been either abducted or contacted – this is because an invasion has already taken place and they don’t want us to know this. This invasion has infiltrated every sector of our society, in disguise to most, but blatantly obvious to many. When we look at Whistleblower testimony – it is clear that some sort of deal was made with a group of ET’s and from what I have discovered, this began long before Ike [former U.S. President Dwight D.

“Buitenaardse hypothese is verreweg de meest waarschijnlijke”

In het KRO-programma Brandpunt was afgelopen zondag aandacht voor de mogelijkheid van buitenaards bezoek. De regering van Frankrijk liet een speciale commissie onderzoek doen naar honderden meldingen van vliegende schotels. De commissie concludeerde dat de buitenaardse hypothese de meest waarschijnlijke is, zegt dr.ir. Coen Vermeeren van de TU Delft.
De afgelopen jaren zijn er alleen al in Nederland zes officiële meldingen geweest van de luchtverkeersleiding of piloten van een object waarvan men niet weet wat het is geweest.
“De openlijke stellingname van autoriteiten is vaak dat het een weerfenomeen of een luchtballon is en dat we ons verder geen zorgen hoeven te maken,” zegt Vermeeren, auteur van het boek UFO’s bestaan gewoon. Hij zegt dat je er niet in hoeft te geloven, omdat ze gewoon bestaan.
Het UFO-fenomeen serieus onderzoeken is een taboe, het wordt belachelijk gemaakt. Het zit in de volksaard. Al jaren wordt het geassocieerd met gekke ruimtewezens en vliegende schotels. “Het is allemaal fantasie, want het komt allemaal uit Hollywood en er wordt alleen in sciencefiction over geschreven. Als je het dus serieus neemt, neem je iets serieus wat niet serieus is,” legt Vermeeren uit.
Tussen 1989 en 1991 zagen duizenden Belgen driehoekige UFO’s. Onbekende voorwerpen werden gevolgd op de radar, gefotografeerd en waargenomen. Na het incident bracht de Belgische luchtmacht een rapport uit over de gebeurtenissen.
“Het mysterie blijft onopgelost,” schreef generaal Wilfried de Brouwer, hoofd operaties van de luchtmacht, in het verslag over het onderzoek naar de UFO-meldingen. Daarin bevestigde hij dat de piloten ‘iets’ op hun radarscherm zagen, maar niet in staat waren het fenomeen te verklaren.
“Deze objecten waren in staat om stil te hangen en grote afstanden geluidloos af te leggen,” zegt Vermeeren. “De consequenties zijn gigantisch op het moment dat we accepteren dat de wetenschap geen antwoord heeft op dit soort objecten.”
Waarnemingen van onbekende objecten waren voor de Franse overheid reden om het UFO-fenomeen te laten onderzoeken door Geipan, een onderdeel van de Franse ruimtevaartorganisatie dat nauw samenwerkt met de politie en het leger.
De Franse Cometa-groep, die bestond uit hooggeplaatste functionarissen van het Franse ministerie van Defensie, publiceerde in 1999 een rapport over het UFO-fenomeen. De commissie concludeerde dat de buitenaardse hypothese verreweg de meest waarschijnlijke is. “Deze commissie was buitengewoon zwaar,” zegt Vermeeren. “Dan praat je over mensen uit de wetenschap, uit het leger en van de overheid. Mensen met enorme staten van dienst.”
NASA's Kepler Discovers First Earth-Size Planet In The 'Habitable Zone' of Another Star
Et sur le site du centre Ames de la NASA, bien sûr, dont dépend la mission Kepler

A noter que Kepler 186f n'est pas seulement un candidat, son existence et ses
caractéristiques (provisoires) sont validées.
Évidemment, toutes les radios en parlent ce matin.
On notera au passage qu'Elisa Quintana, premier auteur du papier dans Science, appartient à l'institut SETI du centre Ames à Moffett
Field, CA.
Using NASA's Kepler Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered the first Earth-size planet orbiting a star in the "habitable zone" -- the range of distance from a star where liquid water might pool on the surface of an orbiting planet. The discovery of Kepler-186f confirms that planets the size of Earth exist in the habitable zone of stars other than our sun.
While planets have previously been found in the habitable zone, they are all at least 40 percent larger in size than Earth and understanding their makeup is challenging. Kepler-186f is more reminiscent of Earth.
"The discovery of Kepler-186f is a significant step toward finding worlds like our planet Earth," said Paul Hertz, NASA's Astrophysics Division director at the agency's headquarters in Washington. "Future NASA missions, like the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite and the James Webb Space Telescope, will discover the nearest rocky exoplanets and determine their composition and
atmospheric conditions, continuing humankind's quest to find truly Earth-like worlds."
Although the size of Kepler-186f is known, its mass and composition are not. Previous research, however, suggests that a planet the size of Kepler-186f is likely to be rocky.
"We know of just one planet where life exists -- Earth. When we search for life outside our solar system we focus on finding planets with characteristics that mimic that of Earth," said Elisa Quintana, research scientist at the SETI Institute at NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif., and lead author of the paper published today in the journal Science. "Finding a habitable zone planet comparable to Earth in size is a major step forward."
Kepler-186f resides in the Kepler-186 system, about 500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus. The system is also home to four companion planets, which orbit a star half the size and mass of our sun. The star is classified as an M dwarf, or red dwarf, a class of stars that makes up 70 percent of the stars in the Milky Way galaxy.
"M dwarfs are the most numerous stars," said Quintana. "The first signs of other life in the galaxy may well come from planets orbiting an M dwarf."
Kepler-186f orbits its star once every 130-days and receives one-third the energy from its star that Earth gets from the sun, placing it nearer the outer edge of the habitable zone. On the surface of Kepler-186f, the brightness of its star at high noon is only as bright as our sun appears to us about an hour before sunset.
"Being in the habitable zone does not mean we know this planet is habitable.
The temperature on the planet is strongly dependent on what kind of atmosphere the planet has," said Thomas Barclay, research scientist at the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute at Ames, and co-author of the paper.
"Kepler-186f can be thought of as an Earth-cousin rather than an Earth-twin. It has many properties that resemble Earth."
The four companion planets, Kepler-186b, Kepler-186c, Kepler-186d, and Kepler-186e, whiz around their sun every four, seven, 13, and 22 days, respectively, making them too hot for life as we know it. These four inner planets all measure less than 1.5 times the size of Earth.
The next steps in the search for distant life include looking for true Earth-twins -- Earth-size planets orbiting within the habitable zone of a sun-like star -- and measuring the their chemical compositions. The Kepler Space Telescope, which simultaneously and continuously measured the brightness of more than 150,000 stars, is NASA's first mission capable of detecting Earth-size planets around stars like our sun.
Ames is responsible for Kepler's ground system development, mission operations, and science data analysis. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., managed Kepler mission development. Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. in Boulder, Colo., developed the Kepler flight system and supports mission operations with the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado in Boulder. The Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore archives, hosts and distributes Kepler science data.
Kepler is NASA's 10th Discovery Mission and was funded by the agency's Science Mission Directorate.
The SETI Institute is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to scientific research, education and public outreach. The mission of the SETI Institute is to explore, understand and explain the origin, nature and prevalence of life in the universe.

CIA acknowledges its mysterious Area 51 test site for first time
By Steve Gorman
(Reuters) - National security scholars at George Washington University have some good news and bad news for UFO buffs - the U.S. government has finally confirmed the existence of Area 51 in Nevada, but it makes no mention of little green men or alien spaceships.
The government acknowledged the existence of the mysterious aviation test site known as Area 51, a remote installation about 80 miles northwest of Las Vegas, in a newly declassified CIA history of its U-2 spy plane program.
After decades of extreme secrecy surrounding the site, stoking conspiracy theories about UFOs and experiments on alien spacecraft, the CIA lifted its veil on Area 51 in response to a public records request from George Washington University scholars in Washington, D.C.
Publicly released online on Thursday by the university's National Security Archive, the 400-page CIA history contains the first deliberate official references to Area 51, also known as Groom Lake, as a site developed by the intelligence agency in the 1950s to test fly the high-altitude U-2 reconnaissance plane.
Other top-secret aircraft were tested there later, including the supersonic reconnaissance A-12 aircraft, code-named OXCART, and the F-117 stealth ground-attack jet, said archive senior fellow Jeffrey Richelson, who asked for the CIA's U-2 history in 2005.
A newly revised document restoring numerous references to Area 51 that had been redacted in earlier versions was furnished by the CIA a few weeks ago, he said.
"It's the first time that there must have been a senior-level decision to acknowledge the term 'Area 51' and its specific location" he told Reuters on Friday.
Chapter 2 of the CIA history recounts how Richard Bissell, the CIA officer then overseeing development of the U-2 plane by Lockheed, first spotted the site on an aerial scouting mission over Nevada in April 1955, accompanied by an Air Force officer and two others.
The four men landed their plane near an old, abandoned air strip at the edge of a salt flat known as Groom Lake near the northeastern corner of the Nevada Test Site, the nuclear proving ground then controlled by the Atomic Energy Commission.
IDEAL TEST SITE
The group agreed that Groom Lake would "make an ideal site for testing the U-2 and training its pilots" Bissell subsequently asked the Atomic Energy Commission to add the area to its Nevada real estate holdings, the account says.
"AEC Chairman Admiral Lewis Strauss readily agreed, and President Eisenhower also approved the addition of this strip of wasteland, known by its map designation as Area 51, to the Nevada Test Site" the document says.
To make the barren new facility seem more appealing to its workers, managers of the U-2 program dubbed the facility "Paradise Ranch" which was later shortened to "the Ranch"
Photos of the site and a newly declassified map outlining and labeling the location were also included in the document.
Richelson said he could recall at least two previous government documents in which an incidental reference to Area 51 appeared, but he assumed those were inadvertent because they were devoid of any other details or context.
The multiple detailed references to Area 51 in the latest CIA account - the document's index lists at least 12 mentions - show that they were deliberate, he said.
The intelligence agency had little to say about the disclosure.
"What readers of the CIA study will find is that CIA tests its U-2 and A-12 reconnaissance aircraft at the site in Nevada sometimes referred to as 'Area 51,'" CIA spokesman Edward Price said. "What readers won't find are any references to aliens or other conspiracy theories best left to the realm of science fiction"
Among the more sensational pieces of UFO conspiracy lore linked to Area 51 is that the remains of a flying saucer that supposedly crashed near Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947, were brought to the site for reverse engineering experiments that attempted to replicate the extraterrestrial spacecraft.
Richelson said the CIA document makes no mention of any such theories. But he pointed to one passage that discusses the relationship between U-2s and unidentified flying objects "in the sense that people sighted U-2s in a time that they were very secretive and at very high altitude and didn't know what they were, and in that sense they were UFOs"
