Planetenverkenner Venus Express vliegt mogelijk zijn dood tegemoet - HLN.be

De Europese planeetverkenner Venus Express duikt de komende drie weken steeds dieper in de dikke dampkring van de planeet Venus. De kans is groot dat zij dat niet overleeft. Venus Express zal dan verbranden in de koolzuurrijke atmosfeer.

Daarmee komt ook een voorlopig einde aan het onbemande onderzoek van de planeet. Venus Express beschrijft sinds april 2006 een langgerekte baan rond Venus, met het laagste punt op 250 kilometer hoogte. De brandstof aan boord is bijna op; de wetenschappelijke missie is voltooid en vluchtleiders van de Europese ruimtevaartorganisatie ESA hebben nu een spannende slotact voor de ruimtesonde in petto.

Sinds gisteren wordt het laagste punt van de omloopbaan steeds verder omlaag gebracht. Elke dag duikt Venus Express zodoende iets dieper de dampkring in, uiteindelijk tot een hoogte van slechts 130 kilometer. Daarbij worden metingen verricht aan temperatuur en luchtdruk.

Schat aan informatie
Dat Venus Express in de komende weken misschien de laatste adem uitblaast, is niet erg. Het toestel heeft een schat aan informatie verzameld, voornamelijk over de dampkring van de planeet. Zo is ontdekt dat Venus lang geleden oceanen gehad moet hebben. Die zijn verdampt toen er een extreem broeikaseffect op gang kwam. De dampkring is in de afgelopen jaren ook sneller gaan roteren, terwijl de draaisnelheid van de planeet zelf iets is afgenomen. Boven de zuidpool van Venus is een grote cycloon ontdekt en infraroodcamera's vonden aan het zinderend hete oppervlak aanwijzingen voor recent vulkanisme.

Uitstel van executie
Mocht de ruimtesonde de duikvluchten toch overleven, dan zal de baan na 11 juli weer worden 'opgekrikt'. Maar dan is er hooguit sprake van uitstel van executie: later dit jaar is echt alle brandstof aan boord verbruikt en is het gedaan met Venus Express.

Eind 2015 hoopt de Japanse ruimtevaartorganisatie JAXA de planeetverkenner Akatsuki in een baan rond Venus te brengen. Of dat lukt is de vraag: Akatsuki kampte eind 2010 met motorpech en draait sindsdien in een baan om de zon. Daarna zijn er geen ruimtevluchten naar de planeet gepland.

Elon Musk: "Een menselijke kolonie op Mars? Geef me nog tien jaar" - HLN.be

Een menselijke kolonie bouwen op Mars. Sciencefiction? Niet zo volgens Elon Musk, die naast elektrische auto's zijn levenswerk maakt van ruimtetuigen. In een interview met CNBC verklaart hij dat het mogelijk moet zijn over tien jaar de eerste mensen naar de rode planeet te voeren.

De Amerikaanse zakenmagnaat ziet het groots. De oprichter en CEO van Tesla Motors vond de elektrische auto opnieuw uit en als voorzitter van Solar City kondigde hij recent een revolutie in de zonne-energie-industrie aan. Nu zet hij zijn zinnen op een nog indrukwekkender doel: mensen naar Mars brengen.

"Ik ben zeer hoopvol dat over tien tot twaalf jaar de eerste mensen naar Mars gevoerd kunnen worden", zegt hij in een interview met CNBC. Volgens Musk is het van vitaal belang een menselijke kolonie te stichten op Mars. "Anders zal de mensheid maar overleven tot de volgende grote catastrofe, zoals de asteroïde die de dinosaurussen deed uitsterven."

Dragon V2
Musk richtte in 2002 SpaceX op om de ontwikkeling van de rakettechnolgie te versnellen - allemaal met een zelfvoorzienende, permanente basis op Mars in het achterhoofd. Recent onthulde SpaceX de Dragon V2, een ruimtecapsule die ontworpen werd om NASA-astronauten naar het ISS te brengen.

SpaceX werkt ook aan een ander ruimtetuig, de Falcon Heavy, voor vrachtvervoer naar de ruimte. De Falcon Heavy zal echter niet naar Mars gaan; daarvoor is een veel groter ruimtetuig op komst, aldus Musk.

Mars One
Maar kan dat al binnen een decennium? Volgens Philip Metsger, fysicus en planeetdeskundige in het NASA Kennedy Space Center, is dat niet onrealistisch. "Ik denk dat het doenbaar is over tien jaar op Mars te geraken", zegt hij in Forbes.

Musk is niet de eerste die droomt van een kolonie op Mars. De Mars One Foundation hoopt vanaf 2023 mensen op een enkele reis naar de rode planeet te sturen. Tot nu toe ontving de Foundation al meer dan 200.000 aanvragen voor een permanente trip naar Mars.

Nibiru – Orbit, Location and Explanation, Ancient Sumerian Mysteries Explained – Zacharia Sitchin – The First Truth Seeker

(Before It's News)

Also known as The Twelfth Planet or Planet X, some are warning that the wandering body of Nibiru is quickly nearing the Earth – and could cause global devastation. Should you worry?

In 1976, the late Zecharia Sitchin stirred up a great deal of controversy with the publication of his book, The Twelfth Planet. In this and subsequent books, Sitchin presented his literal translations of ancient Sumerian texts which told an incredible story about the origins of humankind on planet Earth – a story far different and much more fantastic than what we all learned in school.

This strange planet has known to be twenty times bigger than Jupiter, with a burning moon which acts like Nibiru’s personal sun. Since Nibiru goes much, much further away from our sun; this theory actually does make sense, and stands out. The Anunnaki who are supposedly the citizens of Nibiru, came to planet earth around 25,000 years ago, and gave a lot of knowledge and detail to the developing humanoids; whom at that time didn’t have the brain capacity or thinking power to comprehend what the Anunnaki were saying. Even the Mayan predicted the existence of Nibiru, or according to them, a certain dark energy in shape of a planet which would be coming near earth in the distant future.

The ancient cuneiform texts — some of the earliest known writing, dating back some 6,000 years — told the story of a race of beings called the Anunnaki. The Anunnaki came to Earth from a planet in our solar system called Nibiru, according to the Sumerians via Sitchin. If you’ve never heard of it, that’s because mainstream science does not recognize Nibiru as one of the planets that revolves around our Sun. Yet it is there, claims Sitchin, and its presence holds great importance not only for humankind’s past, but our future as well.

Nibiru’s orbit around the Sun is highly elliptical, according to Sitchin’s books, taking it out beyond the orbit of Pluto at its farthest point and bringing it as close to the Sun as the far side of the asteroid belt (a ring of asteroids that is known to occupy a band of space between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter). It takes Nibiru 3,600 years to complete one orbital journey, and it was last in this vicinity around 160 B.C.E. As you can imagine, the gravitational effects of a sizable planet moving close to the inner solar system, as it is claimed for Nibiru, could wreak havoc on the orbits of other planets, disrupt the asteroid belt and spell big trouble for planet Earth.

Well, prepare for yet another possible apocalypse because, they say, Nibiru is once again heading this way – and will be here soon.

The story of the Anunnaki is told in Sitchin’s many books and is digested, augmented and speculated about in dozens of websites. But the tale is essentially this: About 450,000 years ago, Alalu, the deposed ruler of the Anunnaki on Nibiru, escaped the planet on a spaceship and found refuge on Earth. He discovered that Earth had plenty of gold, which Nibiru needed to protect its diminishing atmosphere. They began to mine Earth’s gold, and there were a lot of political battles among the Anunnaki for power.

Then around 300,000 years or so ago, the Anunnaki decided to create a race of workers by genetically manipulating the primates on the planet. The result was homo sapiens – us. Eventually, rulership of the Earth was handed over to humans and the Anunnaki left, at least for the time being. Sitchin ties all this – and much more – into the stories of the first books of the Bible and the histories of other ancient cultures, especially Egyptian.

It’s an astonishing story, to say the least. Most historians, anthropologists and archeologists consider it all Sumerian myth, of course. But Sitchin’s work has created a diehard cadre of believers and researchers who take the story at face value. And some of them, whose ideas are getting widespread attention thanks to the Internet, contend that the return of Nibiru is close at hand – possibly as soon as somewhere between now and 2190

Even mainstream astronomers have long speculated that there may be an unknown planet – a Planet X – somewhere out beyond the orbit of Pluto that would account for the anomalies they were detecting in the orbits of Neptune and Uranus. Some unseen body seems to be tugging at them. The finding was reported in the June 19, 1982 edition of the New York Times:

Something out there beyond the furthest reaches of the known solar system is tugging at Uranus and Neptune. A gravitational force keeps perturbing the two giant planets, causing irregularities in their orbits. The force suggests a presence far away and unseen, a large object, the long-sought Planet X. Astronomers are so certain of this planet’s existence that they have already named it “Planet X – the 10th Planet.”
The anomalous body was first spotted in 1983 by IRAS (Infrared Astronomical Satellite), according to news stories. The Washington Post reported: “A heavenly body possibly as large as the giant planet Jupiter and possibly so close to Earth that it would be part of this solar system has been found in the direction of the constellation Orion by an orbiting telescope aboard the U.S. infrared astronomical satellite. So mysterious is the object that astronomers do not know if it is a planet, a giant comet, a nearby ‘protostar’ that never got hot enough to become a star, a distant galaxy so young that it is still in the process of forming its first stars or a galaxy so shrouded in dust that none of the light cast by its stars ever gets through.”

Nibiru supporters contend that IRAS has, in fact, spotted the wandering planet.

“A Mystery Revolves Around the Sun,” an article posted by MSNBC on October 7, 1999 said: “Two teams of researchers have proposed the existence of an unseen planet or a failed star circling the sun at a distance of more than 2 trillion miles, far beyond the orbits of the nine known planets… Planetary scientist at Britain’s Open University, speculates that the object could be a planet larger than Jupiter.” And in December, 2000, SpaceDaily reported on “Another Candidate For ‘Planet X’ Spotted.”

Another article and photo appeared in Discovery News: “Large Object Discovered Orbiting Sun.” The article, published in July, 2001, says, “The discovery of a large reddish chunk of something orbiting in Pluto’s neighborhood has re-ignited the idea that there may be more than nine planets in the solar system.” Naming it 2001 KX76. the discoverers estimate that it is smaller than our Moon and might have an elongated orbit, but they gave no indication that it was heading this way.

Mark Hazelwood, who has a large website warning about the impending arrival of Nibiru and how we should prepare for it, suggests that all of these news stories lend credence to the existence of the Anunnaki’s Nibiru (although none of the articles said the celestial body was heading toward Earth).

Andy Lloyd isn’t as pessimistic – or at least his calculations are different. Since he speculates that Nibiru was actually the Star of Bethlehem seen about 2,000 years ago, “the problem faced by humanity as Nibiru again enters the planetary zone will fall to our descendants 50 generations hence.”

There is even speculation that the Vatican is tracking the position of Niburu. This video quotes Father Malachi Martin being interviewed by Art Bell as saying that the Vatican hierarchy, through research at its astronomical observatory, is monitoring the approach of something that could be “of great import” in the coming years.

WHAT WILL BE THE EFFECTS ON EARTH?

As stated before, the gravitational pull of a planet entering the inner solar system would have profound effects on the other orbiting bodies, including Earth. In fact, the Anunnaki story says that a previous appearance of Nibiru was responsible for the “Great Flood” recorded in Genesis, in which nearly all life on our planet was extinguished (but saved, thanks to Noah). Going even further back, some researchers into this topic suspect that Nibiru once even collided with Earth millions of years ago, creating the asteroid belt and resulting in the enormous gouges in our planet that the oceans now fill.

Mark Hazelwood and others say that Earth is in for some massive and catastrophic changes as Nibiru approaches. Floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, a pole shift and other natural disasters will be so severe, Hazelwood says, that “only a few hundred million people will survive.” Another site says the gravitational pull of Nibiru might even stop the Earth’s rotation for three days, citing the “three days of darkness” predicted in the Bible.

Some of the Nibiru researchers also cite the prophecies of Edgar Cayce who predicted that we would soon suffer monumental Earth changes and a pole shift, even though he did not attribute them to anything as specific as a visiting planet. And, of course, the much-analyzed Mayan calendar is said to set the “end of world” in December, 2012.

Astronomers and other scientists who would seem to be in a position to know such things have made no announcements about the approach of any planet-sized body. Apparently, they have not detected anything of the kind. Those who believe Nibiru is approaching, however, say that scientists do know all about it and are just covering it up.

As with any such predictions, time will tell.

HUGH CIGAR SHAPED UFO WITNESSED OVER NORTHERN NEW JERSEY

(Before It's News)

MAY 6,  1986   BERGENFIELD NEW JERSEY

It was a Monday, bright Sunshine, approximately 2:00 pm, I was getting ready to go to work in New York as a Consultant to the US Delegate to Greece, when I saw my bedroom window was getting dark. It looked like the windows on a car completely encompassing the whole window. I watched it as it slowly moved away, then becoming completely white. I thought it was a helicopter and quickly ran down the stairs and outside. I looked up and saw nothing. I went back in the house and thought I should go out the front, that maybe the helicopter went to the front of the house. I went out, stood on my porch, looked around and saw nothing. Then I looked in the sky and saw this gigantic, bright silver, cigar shaped aircraft. It must have been 2 blocks long. There were no windows or hatches . It just stood there. There was no noise of any kind. It was the shape of a cigar holder, very bright. I thought this was great, so I sat down on my stoop and watched it for about 20 minutes. Then, all of a sudden it moved very slowly for about 50 yards and stopped as if it was looking for something. I looked at the horizon and saw that bright lights of blue, red and green were forming a circle just at the horizon. When it completely formed into a circle the aircraft moved slowly about 50 again, then in one or two seconds took off and disappeared into the circle. It literally disappeared through the circle. I thought this was a great experience and felt bad that I couldn’t make contact with them. I’ve had other personal experiences I will be glad to send you. 

NOTE: The above image is a rendering

This case has been investigated by our Section Director Ed Dobson of MUFON New Jersey.  This case is now classified as  ”unknown ”.  We are not allowed to classify a case as identified alien craft.

Daily 2 Cents: Mummified Child Opens & Closes Eyes! — Unexplained Activity in Bedroom — Beaver Attacks Kayaker

(Before It's News)

Mummified Child Opens & Closes Eyes!

Rosalia Lombardo was two when a strong pneumonia ended his life on December 6, 1920 in his native Palermo, Italy. His devastated father made a special request to a renowned Italian physician of the time, Alfredo Salafia.

Salafia’s mission was to embalm retail Lombardo family. Their studies on mummification techniques used in the Egyptian pharaohs were the best introduction.

A few years ago the body was discovered in the Capuchin Catacombs of Palermo. For its perfect state it was called “Sleeping Beauty”.

Subsequent studies to determine the technique led a group of Italian scientists are installing a camera inside his sarcophagus, able to take pictures every 60 seconds.

The images collected show a strange phenomenon, small eyes are opened and closed several times a day. In an attempt to explain, the group of scientists said the camera flashes and the humidity generated a photo breakdown in the body, causing the eyes of small generating this effect. – elcomercio

Unexplained Activity in Bedroom

Hi everyone. I want to preface this by saying I am pretty level headed and not really afraid of much (seriously). I’m not a huge believer of the paranormal but definitely agree that weird things happen sometimes. My boyfriend and I have been having issues for a few months now with some odd things that happen in his bedroom. It started around this past thanksgiving, and coincidentally I also began having unexplained seizure activity around the same time. I’ve been following up with my Neurologist who can’t quite figure out what is going on. I have a lot of other severe chronic medical problems, so given my past history it’s not terribly weird to add seizures to the list….

So anyways, around the same time the seizures began, I started experiencing some unexplained noises and shadows and things around his room, but kinda just assumed it was all in my head… except my boyfriend has experienced weird stuff too, even when I’m back at my house for the night. We have both had multiple occasions of being woken up by footsteps in the room, hearing shuffling noises, things being knocked over and bumped around. For reference, this house has been in the family since it was built and there’s no other weird things anyone else has reported until I came along. His bedroom is the 3rd floor, the attic was converted into a large bedroom and he’s been up there since he was a kid. He has 2 dogs and a cat and they always sleep downstairs and our door is closed.

We have times where we are just sitting in bed reading or watching a movie and both hear/see something freaky and immediately turn to the other. So at least it’s not just me.

This morning was the final straw. We are getting ready to move out into an apartment soon thankfully because I can’t even go up there ever again. I woke up just before 5 am, as he gets up for work early so I often wake up for a bit to grab a sip of water and say good morning. I rolled over and checked my phone and he still had a bit longer to sleep in… So I kinda was just laying there relaxing and I heads a loud thud come from behind me. I kinda just ignore it… Until a minute later another loud thud right behind me, and I can feel it. Then I hear the familiar shuffling and I’m like awww crap… Then it must have really felt like messing with me because right behind me I hear whispering… Like it’s trying to say something to me. I lose it. I grabbed him so hard and shook him and started freaking out. He wakes up in a panic and looks around and doesn’t see or hear anything, but by this rate I was crying hysterically.

I have no idea what to do. It’s lucky we are moving out but I don’t know what the hell to think about this. You can go ahead and check my post history and see I have some pretty crazy hobbies and really nothing at all scares me, but this was just too much to handle. I’m freaking out now that whatever this is will follow us to our new place, however, I can’t say I’ve experienced anything like this back at my house(with parents) or anywhere else I’ve lived or stayed. What the hell?!?!

Beaver Attacks Kayaker

A beaver jumped out of Irondequoit Creek, in eastern Monroe County, New York, and attacked a man in a kayak, knocking him into the water last Tuesday. The victim, Michael Cavanaugh of Lima, N.Y. is recovering after being treated in the hospital for bite wounds on his back and deep puncture wounds on his arm. He is also being treated for rabies as a precaution.

BayCreek Paddling Center trainer Nate Reynolds saw part of the attack. “I heard my name called out from the shop and I ran out the door to see a guy getting pulled into the water,” Reynolds said, describing the attack. “It was like watching a horror film.” Reynolds said Cavanaugh was able to get to his feet and approach the dock, but the beaver would not let go of him, so Reynolds hit the beaver with a nearby paddle several times. “The paddle broke and the beaver let go,” he said. “He kind of disappeared for a few seconds but came back up so I hit him again.”

BayCreek Paddling Center temporarily closed after the incident to try and find the beaver. Eventually the beaver’s carcass was discovered and is now being tested for rabies by animal control. “It’s absolutely first of a kind,” said Ken Altfather, who has owned and operated BayCreek Paddling Center for more than 20 years. “I think the rarity of this is the main thing, the beaver was upset for some reason, we don’t know.” According to New York Department of Environmental Conservation Biologist Art Kirsch, although extremely rare, Beaver attacks on humans do occasionally happen. Kirsch said that beavers generally aren’t aggressive toward humans and are vegetarians.

Most beaver attacks on humans, he added, come from beavers infected with rabies, or beavers trying to protect their offspring. The recovering victim of the attack, Michael Cavanaugh said: “In general I feel like you do after having surgery. My body is focusing on healing the wounds. I’ve slept quite a bit. Though the event was scary I haven’t felt much in the way of traumatic emotional reactions which I’m thankful for. As a matter of fact I feel a lot of gratitude to God. First, that my injuries were not worse. Second, that the beaver did not attack Terri who would have been severely hurt as she was a great distance from the dock. Third, that I was surrounded by so many helpful people.” – 13WHAM

Woman Give Birth to Lizard!

This midwife probably did not expect to find a baby gecko on the birthing table when she started assisting a mother in labour.

But rather than delivering a healthy newborn baby, she found herself face-to-face with a lizard. Or so she claims.

Yes, a lizard apparently oozed out of the ‘pregnant’ woman covered in mucus and blood as she was giving birth.

Woman gives birth to a lizard. Yes, really.

Seems like a joke or hoax right? Well, the authorities in Indonesia are actually taking this rather seriously even going as far as launching an official investigation into the incident.

After some probing (sorry) it was suggested that the woman, already a mother of two human children, was suffering from pseudocyesis, or phantom pregnancy, with an empty womb.

A doctor, the Chief Medical Officer of nearby Kupang City, Indonesia, gave this rather sobering conclusion.

‘So the gecko coming out is probably some kind of hoax.

‘Childbirth of another species has never been reported in science.’

Some news organisations have quoted neighbours claiming that Ms Nubatonis and her family apparently practice ‘witchcraft.’

Maybe people could consider the slightly boring idea that the lizard might have hopped onto the birthing bed at some point unseen…

Nah, let’s not be boring, she gave birth to a lizard because of a spell backfiring – Forwarded by reader

Construction begins on a new alien-hunting telescope

(Before It's News)

Workers took the first step in building the world’s largest optical and infrared telescope on Thursday, June 19 by blowing up the top of a mountain. This alien-hunting telescope will be how large? The answer is extremely large.

As its name describes, the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) will be massive. The telescope’s main mirror will be approximately one hundred twenty eight feet in diameter and composed of seven hundred ninety eight hexagonal six foot mirror segments, each of which can be moved independently. As Wired points out, “The current crop of really big telescopes pale in comparison.” For example, the Keck telescopes in Hawaii have mirrors that are approximately thirty three feet wide. With its massive mirror, the European Southern Observatory explains that the E-ELT will “gather 13 times more light than the largest optical telescopes existing today.”

So what does all of that light-gathering power provide to scientists? Wired describes,

For one thing, the ability to see back to the beginning of the universe, watching the first stars and galaxies form. Researchers will also use the E-ELT to help them figure out the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy. But the thing that has astronomers more excited about right now is the telescope’s ability to discover and characterize new planets around other stars.

The E-ELT will be a valuable tool in the search for extraterrestrial life. Its ability to directly image exoplanets and study the atmospheres of planets will help scientists identify worlds that may support life as we know it. Ignas Snellen, an astronomy professor at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands explains, “If there is life on another planet, then it is very far away. We cannot see the life. But we can determine from a distance what types of gases there are in the atmosphere. If you look at the Earth from a long distance, you see oxygen here, because there is life. With this telescope, you can look for oxygen on other planets.” Snellen is part of a group that develops observation and data-reduction techniques for ground-based telescopes, techniques that will be used by the E-ELT.

The Netherlands is just one of fifteen countries participating in the E-ELT project, which is operated by the European Southern Observatory.

A tiny blast of explosives occurred at approximately 1:40 p.m. local time on June 19 to clear the way for construction at the top of Cerro Armazones mountain in Chile’s Atacama desert. Eventually more than fifty nine feet will be removed from the mountain’s peak to create a flat surface that will support the 2,700-ton telescope.

Although the process is now officially underway, it will take a decade to finish building the E-ELT. It is expected to go online in 2024.

Two California UFO witnesses 10 miles apart

(Before It's News)

Two Riverside County, CA, witnesses reported watching strange lights in the sky they could not explain three hours and 10 miles apart from each other on June 18, 2014, according to testimony in cases 57165 and 57166 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

A witness in Murrieta, CA, pictured, saw an object on June 18, 2014, that ‘looked like a tube, white in color with the middle of the object that seemed to have a solar panel.’ (Credit: Google)

At 7:30 p.m., a witness in Menifee stepped out into her backyard and noticed a cylinder-shaped object in the sky.

“I observed what looked like a tube, white in color with the middle of the object that seemed to have a solar panel, each 180-degree apart and a silver type center, each 90-degree,” the witness stated.

The witness said there was movement to the objects.

“The objects appeared to rotate in a cylindrical spin and then you could see the panel go from black to silver and then black again.”

The witness thought they could be satellites.

“I thought of a satellite, but five in a row spaced by five-minute intervals and the last craft appeared to be glowing a reddish haze. They appeared in sets of two and seemed to be about five minutes apart for the second set and then within five minutes the same type craft with reddish haze outline spaced exactly like the previous two pairs. If it were not for the reddish/orange glow of the fifth craft I would like to think they were some type of communications satellites, but five and one colored following the same path exactly and so close together.”

The witness said the objects were moving slowly.

“Their speed was slower than any aircraft could maintain lift from. No trails, noise etc. – completely silent.”

Then three hours later, at 10:30 p.m. just 10 miles southwest in Murrieta, another witness was sitting in her home watching television near a window with a good view.

A second witness three hours later in Murrieta, CA, pictured, that ‘shape several times – became larger and more web-like, smaller and flattened and surrounded by a halo.’ (Credit: Wikimedia Commons)

“I happened to look out the window and noticed a very bright orange light just above the tree line and over the distant hills southwest from my home,” the witness stated. “At first I thought it must be an airplane that was coming directly at me because the light was getting brighter.”

Then the witness realized that the object was hovering in place.

“At that point, I jumped up and got my binoculars and began to watch it. What looked like a solid, bright orange light with the naked eye looked like a spider web of orange light when magnified?”

The witness said that the object began to change shape.

“It changed shape several times – became larger and more web-like, smaller and flattened and surrounded by a halo. At times, there seemed to be a solid vertical bar of light running down the middle with web-like lighting to the sides of the vertical bar.”

The object also appeared to disappear and reappear.

“Twice, it just disappeared – poof, gone – to reappear almost instantly and then it reappeared and there were two, one hovering above the other. During my 30 minutes of observation, two lights appeared twice with one disappearing each time and leaving one. They did not move – dart across the sky; did not appear to be leaving a trail; and made no sound.”

The witness went outside and continued to watch.

“Finally, at almost exactly 11 p.m., the last light, poof, disappeared and never returned. I checked periodically until after midnight. Just weird.”

The witness provided one illustration with the MUFON report.

Menifee is city centrally located in southwestern Riverside County, CA, population 77,519. Murrieta is a city also in southwestern Riverside County, CA, population 103,466.

California MUFON is investigating. California has a current UFO Alert Rating of 3 with a high number of recent reports nationally. California had 102 reports in May 2014 and was the highest reporting state. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels – 1 through 5 – where states with 150 or more reports for the month are rated an Alert 1; states with 100 or more reports are rated an Alert 2; 25 reports or more for the month are rated an Alert 3; 13 or more reports are rated an Alert 4; and those states with less than 13 reports for the month are an Alert 5.

Russian scientist found to be UFO and ancient aliens researcher

(Before It's News)

Professor Ludvig in the 70s. (Credit: Sovershenno Sekretno)

Sovershenno Sekretno, a very popular and respected Russian newspaper, published an article in its October 2011 issue. The author is Vladimir Kucharyants, writer and journalist. The title is (in English) Worlds of Professor Ludvig.

Professor Genrikh Mavrikiyevich Ludvig was a highly educated Russian scientist, an inmate of Stalin’s concentration camps, a philosopher, a scholar of ancient languages, daring architect, a teacher, a freethinker who lived in the stifling ideological climate of Communism…a person who did not break down under enormous pressure, torture, and betrayal.

Vladimir Kucharyants was his student in the 1960s, but only in recent years has discovered the scope of Professor’s Ludvig’s knowledge, ideas, and legacy. There is much more that needs to be discovered, and the Russian writer continues his quest. He is still not sure who Genrikh Ludvig really was: a phenomenally educated scientist who possessed encyclopedic knowledge; a mystic; a person who was ordained into secret knowledge.

Those who research the UFO phenomenon and ancient astronauts hypothesis will learn from the Sovershenno Sekretno article that Professor Ludvig was able to study amazing ancient manuscripts during his sojourn in the Vatican’s library (in the 1920s). There he read about extraterrestrials who had visited the Earth in antiquity; subsequently, he began his research of Maya civilization, and interpreted their symbols to be spaceships and spacesuits. In addition, Professor Ludvig mentioned that the library contained manuscripts about alchemy and ancient codes.

When the NKVD (KGB) arrested him in 1938, Professor Ludvig was accused of being a Vatican (but also Turkish, Polish, German and American) spy. He survived the concentration camps and torture, and carried his incredible knowledge, language skills (he was fluent in 20 languages, including ancient ones), ideas and beliefs with him, through the years full of suffering and ordeals. He was informed on or denounced to the secret police by his wife.

Kucharyants mentions that Professor Ludvig showed his students photocopies of the Vatican’s ancient manuscripts ( containing information about extraterrestrials that had visited our planet) with drawings, described to them the hidden essence of ancient myths; he told them of the Fiery Pillar that destroyed an advanced ancient civilization; he showed the students photos of the fortress walls discovered in Babylon, melted with the horrendous temperature and believed that nuclear blasts could cause this.

Professor Ludvig was very much interested in Sumerian civilization and possessed great knowledge about it; he discussed the esoteric meaning of pyramids in Egypt (he considered them to be sort of “energy machines”); he studied the Etruscan civilization; he knew about Cabbala.

Professor Ludvig was also an inventor, and designer of military technology. He helped his country, even during his imprisonment. During his days as an inmate of the GULAG, during World War II, he had at least 17 inventions to his name: such as the construction of military airfields in marshy areas; a noiseless underground station for testing aerial engines; a bomb thrower for close distance tank warfare; and many more. His reward was extension of the prison sentence in 1942 for another ten years, after he was denounced for his criticism of Stalin’s policies inside the concentration camps.

Ludvig knew the secrets of herbs and their esoteric medicinal properties, and once this knowledge helped him survive, when he had to cure the wife of the concentration camp commander, or face death.

There is much more information in the Sovershenno Sekretno article (for example, his friendship with another great and highly talented Russian scientist Alexander Chizevsky, whose work I have described in my articles). I urge all those who are interested in the ancient astronauts hypothesis to learn more about Professor Ludvig. I will also try to discover more, although there are few sources available.

Genrikh Mavrikiyevich Ludvig who passed away in 1973, had fantastic intellect, and made incredible discoveries. I am sure his former student Vladimir Kucharyants, who was able to uncover Professor’s notes and writings from the 1930s, will find more documents and materials.

The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The weekly intelligence report provides you with information on the latest sightings and UFO news that you need to understand the world situation. The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force and Prince Phillip told me of his personal interest in UFOs. The US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Special Reports

Captain Edward Ruppelt Investigated UFOs

Captain Edward Ruppelt was head of the US Air Force UFO investigations in the early 1950s and author of The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects, the first book by an Air Force officer to explain this strange, new phenomenon.

Captain Ruppelt, who tried desperately to convince the US Air Force that UFOs were real. It also takes a broad look at the politics of American technology and science within the military culture of the era, sightings of UFOs over Washington in the summer of 1952, Project Grudge and Blue Book and the burgeoning media interest in flying saucers that is now starting to be repeated.

He wrote on the first page of his book that his free on Kindle: http://www.amazon.com/The-Report-Unidentified-Flying-Objects/dp/146111828X

In the summer of 1952 a United States Air Force F-86 interceptor shot at a flying saucer.

Millions of Planets

Astronomers now believe our Earth is just one of millions of planets that have life. The universe is thought to be 15 billion years old and humans have only been here for about a million years. It is logical to assume life forms arose on millions of other planets millions of years before life us giving them time to develop space travel, time travel and numerous types of advanced technology. Astronomers now have discovered more than 3,600 planets orbiting other stars. Some are Earth-like with liquid water available and an environment conducive for developing life. We likely have relatives in many parts of the universe and it is possible that the different races on Earth were planted or created by different extraterrestrials colonizing our Earth. We have done a great deal to destroy our environment and we war against each other. Our technology has advanced much quicker than our spiritual awareness.

The Battle for Your Soul

Chapter Three

Paranormal researcher Joshua P. Warren writes, “It sounds silly to think of being literally “battling for our souls.” But this takes on a surprisingly practical twist when you view this in terms of energy consumption. All life can only come from life. Therefore, all spirit is the same substance. This means we are each a particular, individual, temporary, condensation of a collective. Angels and Demons are everlasting energy. Your brain is the current interface between your identity and the whole. This means that, on a spiritual level, demons, humans, and angels are all made of the same thing. However, the particular form one occupies depends on how enlightened one has become to survive. The idea of angels above is a reference to their higher frequencies, and the idea of demons below is a reference to their lower frequencies. Those in the human form occupy a special position between the angels and demons.

Evil is defined by a complete and absolute self-centered attitude and behavior. An evil being can kill, steal, and violate without any remorse because it has zero consideration for others. Therefore, goodness is just the opposite. Goodness is a pure desire to give and help others. Though it may seem like only an evil attitude will therefore allow you to survive, the irony is that the more you truly give, the more you will be truly rewarded. This is due to a peculiar principle of the universe that seems utterly counter-intuitive, but has been continually reinforced by every major spiritual figure revered throughout human history. Essentially, we all must consume in order to survive. However, there are two ways of doing it. One is to take and take alone. The other is to give, and be rewarded in the long-term by the basic rule that to receive, you must give, and then all will work in harmony. Since we are all made of the same stuff, we can say that demons are humans in lower-frequency form. Because they are takers, their full forms are dense. When glimpsed from time to time, they appear dark because light cannot easily penetrate their forms. They are parasites that will latch onto vulnerable people and drain their energy over time. When this happens, the person becomes agitated, aggressive and illogical, like a scared, wounded animal. The person’s behavior will become self-destructive, and he or she will eventually die by sheer self-neglect or taking unnecessary risks. It is the goal of the demon to feed as long as possible before inevitably killing its victim, just like a deadly, parasitic worm.

Angels, on the other hand, are higher frequency beings that appear much lighter, and can sometimes radiate luminously when seen. They are here to help you. In fact, the angel has evolved to its state via spiritual natural’s election, by acts of charity and giving. The angel’s energy is provided by the universe in return for helping you. Instead of taking all of an individual’s energy, an angel will help a hundred people, knowing that a portion of each person’s energy will symbiotically go back to the angel, sustaining its long life, and the lives of those helped. Therefore, it is in the angel’s self-interest to help you. Though we cannot fully comprehend their highly-advanced ways, it seems they are almost like filters, happily consuming your negative energies because they are advanced and strong enough to properly digest them. Angels are simply waiting there to help you, and you may enlist their assistance at any time to improve your life’s noble wishes. Isn’t that a wonderful thought? But they can’t force their help on you. You must ask sincerely.

Humans are in a very special position. Humans have the chance to become angels or demons. If a human takes on a positive, giving attitude, and is charitable, tolerant, and good, his or her frequency will rise. Once you adopt this attitude, you’ll feel better about yourself. You’ll walk more erect and confidently, smiling and interacting with your fellow humans with warmth and compassion. When you finally die, and the material debris of your body falls away, the spiritual frequency you have achieved will determine the realm you are capable of perceiving and entering next. You are therefore creating your next life right now. Hopefully you are making a heaven for yourself, since your current thoughts and attitudes send you onward to the matching place. Angles & Demons beside You / Joshua P. Warren

New “Cross” formation in Holland

On the night of May 19-20 Robbert had a “vision” while at home in which he saw a “cross” formation being created by light—he saw the formation already down in the field, but entirely made up of a beautiful “golden light” which he says felt "holy.” Very soon afterward he also “saw” (in his "mind’s eye”) the street name and knew that it was near the city of Roosendaal--although he had never been to the field where he and Roy did find the formation after about a 20-minute drive.

When they arrived the field was very still and it turns out that the farmer who owns this field is away, so at the moment nobody knows whether it’s OK to go in the formation or not….but Robbert felt this formation can “transport” people.

Very unusually for Robbert, he felt he must stay in this one for awhile. He thinks he and Roy stayed for 2-3 hours and while sitting in it at one point he saw hundreds of tiny twinkling and sparking lights all throughout the formation. At one point he felt he must go into the center where the two pathways cross and stand with his arms wide open along the directions of the cross arms. He his body was acting like an “acupuncture point” and he could feel energy coming through him into the formation, and then felt as if the formation now had its “full energy.”

Iraq Invasion

The Sunni radicals of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) have seized large parts of Iraq. The ISIS is brutal and fundamentalist and many Sunnis in Iraq have rallied to it, because of their severe discontent with the Iraqi government. The Iraqi government is run by Shia or Shiite Muslims believe that the Imam Islamic leader of a mosque or community is sinless by nature, and that his authority is infallible as it comes directly from God. Therefore, Shia Muslims often venerate the Imams as saints and perform pilgrimages to their tombs and shrines in the hopes of divine intercession.

Sunni Muslims counter that there is no basis in Islam for a hereditary privileged class of spiritual leaders, and certainly no basis for the veneration or intercession of saints. Sunni Muslims contend that leadership of the community is not a birthright, but a trust that is earned and which may be given or taken away by the people themselves.

ISIS fighters achieved victory after victory in the Sunni north. While this assertion is true, and towns continue to fall to it, it is simplistic. The central government troops, many of them Shiite, in Mosul and in towns of the north, were unpopular because they represented the governments Shiite regime.

The populace of Mosul, being mostly Sunni and tribes on the city’s outskirts, rose up in conjunction with the ISIS invasion.

Apparently Iraqi generals ordered a retreat rather than attempting to fight Sunni forces and large Sunni civilian population. Some soldiers and police shed their uniforms and were captured ISIS army units. Videos have appeared showing the ISIS massacring police and Iraqi soldiers severely detracted from the popularity they enjoyed. It has also strengthened the resolve of the Iraqi Army not to surrender since the ISIS will likely kill them when they’re captured.

President Obama has announced plans to deploy 275 U.S. military forces back to Iraq. In a letter to congressional leaders, Obama wrote, quote, "This force is deployed for the purpose of protecting U.S. citizens and property, if necessary, and is equipped for combat." The White House is also sending ships to help rescue the 5000 embassy personnel and a contingent of Special Forces to train Iraqi troops.

Once the order came to retreat Iraqi troops left their equipment and uniforms rather than conducting an orderly withdrawal. While the troops did abandon their positions in Mosul and other towns, it isn’t clear why. The Sunni radicals are poised to move on Baghdad.

While ISIS as a guerrilla group could infiltrate parts of Baghdad and cause trouble, they should face severe difficulty in taking it since the city is mostly Shiite.

The Iraqi Army is being strengthened by Shiite militias and other volunteers. Reportedly an Iraqi Air Force air strike was successful in killing the leader of the ISIS forces. Iran has ordered some Iranian Shiite forces into Iraq.Shia Iran is open to the possibility of working with the United States to support Baghdad, the senior official said. "We can work with Americans to end the insurgency in the Middle East." The Iranian official said, referring to events in Iraq. "We are very influential in Iraq, Syria and many other countries."

The Obama administration is said to be considering consultations with Iran about Iraq. President Obama is deciding if the U.S. should intervene with air power against the ISIS.” The Sunni radicals are not a conventional army and there are no clear lines for the US to bomb. There are few convoys or other obvious targets. The ISIS advance is a series of urban revolts against the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.

The Sunnis already have resentments against the US after the occupation which purged Sunnis from their jobs and massive unemployment. For the US to be bombing Sunni towns all these years later on behalf of Mr. al-Maliki would be to invite terrorism against the US. ISIS is a bad actor, but it so far hasn’t behaved like an international terrorist group. It has been oriented to achieving victories in Syria against the Baath government, Christians and the Shiite Alawis. But it could easily morph into an anti-American international terrorist network. The US should avoid actions that would push it in that direction. So far the Baath regime in Syria is winning against the Sunni radicals.

Iraqis volunteer to fight off ISIS

The fact is that Sunnis are the majority in 85% of the Moslem world and little would be accomplished by the US bombing. The Iraq, Iran, and Syrian Air Forces could provide any needed air support. Shiite majority in Iraq can’t easily be overwhelmed by them.

Iraqi security forces battled ISIS forces at Iraq’s main refinery near the Syrian border on June 18, trying to blunt a weeklong offensive by Sunni militants who may have also seized some 100 foreign workers. In a televised address to the nation, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki struck an optimistic tone and vowed to teach the attackers a "lesson" - "We have now started our counteroffensive, regaining the initiative and striking back," al-Maliki said.

Defeat the Tornados

Tornados kill and destroy structures costing billions dollars in damage. We could make it rain in Vietnam on enemy roads with three C-130 Hercules aircraft and two F-4C Phantom aircraft based at Udorn Air Force Base Thailand conducting cloud seeding. This knowledge coupled with the study of tornados could lead to calming the tornado threat. The basic plan is to spread silver iodide agents or dry ice to form millions of microscopic ice crystals cooling the warmer air. Aircraft fitted with racks containing fuses can be impregnated with silver iodide. These are ignited lay a plume of silver iodide in front of approaching cumulonimbus clouds (CBs) with noticeable calming effect. Large, active CBs that breed tornados can be reduced to nothing.

Filer’s Files #25 – 2014 – F-86 Shot at UFO - PART II

Sightings in the United States

Arizona Rectangle

Show Low -- I was out feeding farm animals about 7:30 pm, on june 13, 2014, and heard what sounded like a small engine. I looked up and the noise was coming from in the air where flying so low and was so strange looking craft. I immediately got scared because I never saw anything like this object before and my mind just couldn't figure out what it was. It looked like a large rectangle about 30 feet across and five feet wide. It had two huge white pulsating lights about the size of the old car headlights, being round. The lights were centered about one third up from the ends of the rectangle. I ran to get my camera and I tried to get a picture but was unsuccessful before it departed. Thanks to MUFON CMS

California Blonde Humanoid

Dana Howard in June of 1939 was walking through a wooded area when her attention was diverted to a gnarled old tree standing over a cliff. Leaning casually against the grotesque trunk was a woman being of unsurpassed loveliness. Her head was radiant with a crown of fire, strands of golden hair cascading gently over her beautiful slightly olive tinted shoulders. The strange mystic light flooding her dark, prophetic eyes, added a wistful something to all her other charms. Dana seemed to glide on rhythmic feet towards the lovely creature as though she were expecting her. She smiled her welcome. “Have no fear, child of Earth” she intoned, “Let the doors of your mind be opened and we of the faraway planets will speak to you in poetry and song.” It was then that Dana observed for the first time a beautiful rocket-shaped ship suspended in mid-air three hundred feet from the earth. “It was beyond mortal words to describe”. In the main section it seemed to be constructed of some sort of translucent material, but trimmed in gold, and gem-studded. An almost invisible ladder extended from the ship to the ground, and Dana obediently followed the radiant being up the filmy stairs without questioning. Once aboard, her sacrosanct companion vanished, and she never saw her again. Thanks to Rosales www.UFOinfo.com

Colorado Light

Loveland -- Two of us had driven up to Carter Lake to eat and stargaze on June 13, 2014, when we noticed some erratically- fluttering red and white lights in a triangle formation. A second triangle appeared but the shapes could not have been unified structures, because several more individual lights quickly appeared, all flickering between red and white. All triangles began to travel south while moving slowly in various geometric formations. We saw people by the lake were gesturing with each other about the objects as well. We all saw an airplane fly at a lower altitude than the other crafts. I noticed a very low-flying light that flickered red and white slowly creeping over nearby foothill. I could see the light from the object reflected on the trees as shown in image. It crept over the hill to the other side and out of view. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Florida Disc

Flagler Beach -- I shot five frames toward the Atlantic Ocean because I was bracketing for a commercial shoot of a house on June 6, 2014, and the object frame is the second # 136, I am sending you 3 frames, the first does not show any object in the sky, the time of the first frame # 135 time is 11:42:22, the second frame is 11:42:28, the third frame is 11:42:30. I didn't see the object until I edited the photos. The object is only in the second frame.

How is it possible for the object in the sky to vanish in two seconds? that is the interval between the frame 136 and 137. I have many more sightings that I recorded in the past years all of them at night, never knowing that they were there until I edited them. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Indiana Streaks

Danville -- I was at home, and around 3:15 AM, on June 15, 2014, the power went out. I heard sirens lasting about 15 minutes. About 3:45 my daughter and I were on the back porch and noticed what we thought was an airplane. We noticed it didn't seem to be moving fast enough to be a plane. We thought it might be a star, but noticed movement. It appeared to be hovering over Indianapolis. We couldn't pinpoint exact movements, but it was moving in a circular pattern with slight changes in altitude. About 4:30 AM, we decided to get a closer look and tried to take a picture of it, but it was too dark. Finally, as dawn's light began to emerge, I was able to get a picture. It looked like the movement we were seeing was some sort of circular movement. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Kentucky Orb

Pendleton County-- Glenn Pennington writes, ‘Thought I'd send a couple pictures from last night. We are still experiencing nightly UFO Visitation and I have thousands of pictures”

Glenn lives on his farm and is an outdoorsman who has trouble sleeping and observes UFOs above his home almost every night. He sends images to me periodically and one of these is shown here. He reports his animals are often excited and fearful of the UFOs. Thanks to Glenn Pennington

Nevada Orb

Las Vegas – “On June 6, 2014, ewe were on Fremont Street watching a concert looked up saw a object moving in the sky followed it till it disappeared behind building. I was surprised because it did not look like an airplane or helicopter. I was able to get a short video of this white oval shaped orb descending to the left with no sound due to music playing.”

Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Jersey Disc

Carlstadt -- I was sitting on the porch when I noticed this object without lights coming straight towards me on June 7, 2014. at 8:30 Pm. As we live close by an airport, it was odd to see an object flying that fast without any lights. The disc flew over the yard and banked straight up and down and then leveled out and continued over my house.it was gone within a minute. The entire sighting was about 3 minutes..there was no sound and it was moving much faster than any jet or plane that has ever flown over my home. It did not turn like a normal aircraft. Image is a rendering. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Rhode Island Lights

Central Falls-- I saw 4 at a time at 11 pm on June 7, 2014 last night. The lights were seen over a school.

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

Tennessee Light

Knoxville -- My nephew called me around 9 PM on Sunday on June 8, 2014, that he was observing ufos revolving around each other three miles to the east of me. I told him take pictures and I called my wife to come with the binoculars. About ten minutes after he called we saw a white strobing light pass from east to west. It appeared to back up then go down then go up. The first strobing light disappeared and then we noticed many other strobing lights to the east. I got to see one through binoculars and it was not only strobing white but blue and yellow as well. My Iphone 4S then went dead but when I plugged it in it came back to life with 30 percent power. The lights were not bright enough for me to videotape.

My nephew snapped a couple of pictures of triangular objects, and he said, “There were originally three seperate craft circling around each other very high up and one disappeared before the others.” Thanks to MUFON CMS

Texas Lights

San Antonio -- Arriving home about 11:30 PM, on June 3, 2014, I see a thick blue streak from left to right. I didn't see the blue streak again; what I see is a large white dot like object. Am I really witnessing an ET craft? I pull out my phone and begin recording. The object is just above the tree line in my back yard. I've got a clear view at this. Still not sure of what is what I believe it to be I'm a bit excited and track this object for ten minutes as it appears to be making contact with me. The object moving flashes multiple times in short bursts. I'm recording my proof as it comes feet away from me as a glow of light. Next it takes a triangular transparent luminous entity dragging a tail. It zooms in focusing really hard at me. It hides behind a tree, as if it wants to play and then hovers within feet of me, and turns itself into what very clearly appears to be a UFO/ET craft. And then flies away but I got this one. Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org

Kingsland -- Four of us were having a beer in my yard on June 2, 2014, which is in the woods, and my friend said, "Hey look, a satellite! So we all looked up to see it do an "s" curve. It was then we noticed two more coming from the same direction. They all looked alike and all seemed to make their own light. Six objects eventually headed north and disappeared. I've been out here every night since then and my last sighting was 6/15/2014. Same craft same everything but only one. This is my third sighting this month.

Worldwide UFO Reports

Australia near Collision with UFO

Perth Airport -- The Australian Transportation Safety Board is Investigating AO-2014-052 report of a near collision between an unknown object and De Havilland DHC-8.On 19 March 2014, at about 0913 Western Standard Time (WST), a De Havilland DHC-8, registered VH-XFX, was on approach to Perth Airport from Kambalda when about 23 km north-northeast of Perth, at about 3,800 feet. The crew sighted a bright strobe light directly in front of the aircraft that appeared to track towards the aircraft. The crew realized that the light was on an unknown object, possibly an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The pilot took evasive action turning towards the west to avoid a collision with the object. The object passed about 20 meters horizontally and 100 feet vertically from the aircraft.

The pilot reported that the object was cylindrical in shape and grey in colour. It was at about 3,700 feet and in controlled airspace. The crew did not receive a traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) alert. The airspace below 3,500 ft. AMSL was military restricted airspace. The ATSB was advised that the Australian Defence Force was not operating UAVs and was not aware of any UAV operations in the area. UAVs are increasingly available to recreational operators and pose a significant risk to aviation safety. “The ATSB was not able to identify any UAV in the area at that time.

Aldinga, South Australia -- Driving south along Main South Road, I suddenly noticed a bright/shiny silver elliptical object that was hovering in the bright blue sky on May 17th 2014 at 4:50 pm. I was driving fast (100 km ) so could only look at it for about four seconds before having to glance down quickly at the road. When I looked up again about two seconds later, the object had vanished. The object looked distinctly different to anything I have ever seen in the sky before. Its width was wider in the middle than the ends with a shallow dome. Deer Park, Victoria, Melbourne -- I heard a massive noise about 3 AM, on May 25th 2014, and thought that my water heater would have burst but the noise was not coming from the ground. I looked out of the window and I saw a round shape like a men’s hat that was moving slowly. I assured myself I was looking at something real. Soon a white light turned on the object and I woke up my wife to look at that UFO. I could not see the UFO anymore as it moved ahead, so then I went back to my bed thinking that probably something would be on the news next day, but surprisingly there was no news.

Caboolture, Queensland -- I was sitting on the patio at 9 PM on May 28th 2014, and looking at the sky northwest, a bright yellow star was shining. I goggled to find out which planet it was, but could not find one. When I went back on the patio, the star was gone. I came back 10 minutes later to find that star was back in the same position north west.

Krambach, New South Wales – About 7 PM, we saw large orange/yellow strange lights flashing, appearing in different parts of the sky above the mountain ranges on May 28th 2014. My whole family witnessed this lights that would appear and disappear and then appear in a different area. A family friend also witnessed this 15kms away and said they were much larger than any star.

Wingham, New South Wales -- I work on a dairy farm and was herding cows on the quad bike when a bright orange white light appeared and the light then turned into another light with the previous disappearing on May 28th 2014, at 8:10 PM. Then a third one appears five hundred meters away and drops three bright white orange lights. There were two green lights flying away faster than a jet plane. My work mate saw the same a couple weeks ago. As we were talking another light appeared again. Fifteen seconds later it happened again in a different location.

Frankston South, Victoria -- Spherical ball of blue lightwas seenJune 9th 2014, on1:26 pm. The spherical ball of vibrant blue light shot down noiselessly from the sky a couple of stories above my neighbor’s house and disappeared from sight. Thanks to John Hayes www.UFOinfo.com

Portage la Prairie, Manitoba -- Four orange lights in a chevron formation without the centre light passed at high speed from south to north. They were only visible for about ten seconds on May 24th 2014, at 1:10 am. They were at a very high altitude and did not make any sound.

Scarborough -- I thought to share my third daylight sighting for 2014. On Monday, June 16, 2014 while on my afternoon work break. I went outside looking southeast at the hazy sky and could see a strange high slow glinting light on and off each second. There appeared to be a white light coming from the object about two hundred yards away at an altitude of 3500 feet. I pulled out my camera taking ten pictures at 3:10 pm. The sighting lasted for about 40 seconds. I yelled at some coworkers but the craft had flown away. Thanks to Paul Shishis.

Brantford, Ontario -- A friend of mine just told me that onMay 25th 2014, he was walking home with friends when they noticed an unusual very bright reddish white light in the sky about 300 meters high. They observed the craft fly away. Later, they noticed it just above treetops when it started rising higher. The bright white craft headed toward them flying directly over head at 300 meters high. The white circular shaped craft had a bright ray near the bottom center that shone out in a 16 point formation.

Then he said, “That once they were looking at it from the side, it seemed to go partially invisible, starting from the back side of the craft slowly engulfing the entire ship, apparently in some sort of stealth technology. They saw another possible hexagon shape craft the same night at 10:35 PM, the same night.

North of Brampton, Ontario -- I saw it from my window a big burning redon ball May 31st 2014,9:50 PM. I went out and it was going north at high speed and in less than two minutes disappeared.

Truro, Nova Scotia – Four witnesses saw a bright light, moving across the sky much lower than jets fly at 10:33 PM on May 31st 2014: It was lit all over and not a normal aircraft shape. It was, no aircraft noise or sound emitted. Watched it pass silently overhead and disappear in a south westerly direction. We all agreed it was not an aircraft or meteor. As it passed overhead it was still lit the same so we were not seeing an aircraft's landing lights. It was definitely a UFO. Thanks to John Hayes www.UFOinfo.com

Ireland Pearl

Dublin -- The object was clearly circular and was clearly visible as glowing with lighton June 7th 2014, at 6.55 PM. The colour was pearl white travelling in a straight line Northeast at a steady speed. It was neither the ISS nor a Chinese lantern as we have also seen these and they have a distinctive appearance and tend to flicker. The object we saw was as bright as a light bulb given that the sky was still bright and sunny. Thanks to John Hayes www.UFOinfo.com

Mexico Disc

Cancun -- I was standing on a west facing balcony of the Hard Rock Hotel taking pictures of the sunset on June 7, 2014. I did not notice anything until I got home and started editing and noticed the obvious craft in the pictures.
I was shooting a Canon 7D camera with a 24-70 mm lens at the time. This process combines three separate images, all with varying exposures; this particular image consisted of 3 shots. The craft appears in all three shots with movement. I hereby attest these images are un-doctored, unedited and 100% the real thing.
This image is a screen shot taken with my phone and is a close-up of the white dot in the image. It has clear structure with what appear to be 4 domes or lights on it”. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Zealand Disc

Coast – A disc shaped Ufo was spotted in the picture after the image was reviewed,

It was not seen when the picture was taken on June 16, 2014, by a tourist from Singapore.

Pyes Pa, Tauranga, Bay of Plenty -- We had just arrived home at 9.10 PM, got out of the car and then we saw three flying objects cross the sky. They looked spectacular as they flew over the Kaimai Ranges. Each one followed each other about two minutes apart. The three identical orange lights followed exactly the same flight route. Got a picture of one but on the cell phone they are white. Thanks to John Hayes www.UFOinfo.com

Taiwan Light

Northern Taipei -- This UFO was recorded here in Taiwan on Sunday night at 9:41 pm on June 8, 2014. The UFO was caught by several car cams and security cams around the Taipei area.

In the videos we can easily see that this is not a meteorite, because it does not have a tail and it does not burn or have fire fragments breaking off of it. This is a glowing UFO. It light is steady unlike a burning meteor. The UFO was headed into the mountain area behind Taipei. Thanks to ufosightingsdaily.com

UK/England Cigar Shaped UFOChased By Jets

Norwich -- My son and I were walking Stella, our dog by the River Yare, overlooking the river south of Bland Road on May 23, 2014, and saw fighter jets roaring above our heads. They looked very small when out of the white clouds. I said, “They were not playing war games, but chasing a UFO radar contact for I knew from previous experiences how to tell the difference.” We watched a fighter plane go into a great fluffy white cloud that was unlike the other clouds and I said to my son to, “Watch for a UFO to come out of the other end of it”.

There was a short gap between the clouds as we watched a craft of huge size materialize within the gap. It was hovering and was long like a cigar and light metallic green in colour with two bars or rails running along ether side underneath that shone a brighter metallic green. After around ten seconds it dematerialized and a jet fighter came out of the cloud, which was tiny like a fly in comparison to the UFO. We could hear the jets after burners and see them going extremely fast, then slow down and trying to find it.

I got the impression that the UFO was kind of playing games. The time of the sighting was 14:20 and the craft was almost overhead and slightly to the east. The RAF would just say what they always say, that they were just playing war games or practicing. However, all three times I have seen these happenings it was over built up areas and the flying was frantic. The above image is a rendering. Thanks to Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org

Scotland Falkirk Triangle Is the UFO Capital of the World

Bonnybridge has become the UFO capital of the world with more than 300 sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects reported above the small town in the heart Scotland. But Bonnybridge has earned its place in the unexplained history books. Councilor Billy Buchanan says so many residents come to him with concerns about what is happening in the town’s skies that he has appealed to three Prime Ministers – David Cameron, Tony Blair and John Major – to order an urgent investigation. As yet no official investigation we know of is underway. The Ministry of Defence say they are “satisfied that there is no evidence that the United Kingdom’s airspace might have been compromised by hostile or unauthorized foreign military activity.” But mysterious sightings in the area known as the Falkirk Triangle, which branches from Bonnybridge to Stirling and Fife, continue. Everything from space ships landing to mysterious balls of light has been reported. Some unexplained sightings have even been caught on film. Publicity concerning the sightings started in 1992 when businessman James Walker said he noticed triangle shaped lights in the sky.

Soon the Sloggett family reported in March at 7 pm saw a circle of light ahead of them. They said the light appeared to land in a nearby field. The family continued walking when they were stopped by a football-sized blue light hovering above the road. Later, Isabella Sloggett said: “My daughter Carole and I saw a UFO land right in front of us. A door opened and there was a howl-like sound. “I screamed and ran off terrified.” Since then, further UFO sightings and filming have come thick and fast. Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org

Video: Exclusive 2014 : UFO Sightings CIA Contractor Exposes The UFO Cover UP!

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1zse9t_exclusive-2014-ufo-sightings-cia-contractor-exposes-the-ufo-cover-up_news

(N.Morgan) In an exclusive interview with Revolution Radio, the one and only John Lear, son of William Lear, inventor of the Lear jet, joined Dr. J Andy Ilias and Blake Cousinsto disclose how the CIA has been actively involved in covering up the UFO phenomenon. The CIA has had a long history of cover ups, assassinations, and covert operations. I believe UFOs to be some of our own highly secret military aircrafts which is apart of a bigger space mission that the American public is aware of.

Russians Make Major UFO Disclosure Statement, Aliens Are Real

(Before It's News)

According to this information the Russians have known about alien civilizations for several decades, to many this comes as no surprise, there have been rumors floating around for many years. Well respected military and government scientist have been trying to speak out on this issue for sometime now. In the vast majority of cases the mainstream media either treats this like a non event, or they treat it like the information is coming from very unreliable sources. This information is a big step in disclosure process for mankind. 

In Soviet times, the Ministry of Defense was working on a secret project aimed at creating a superhuman with paranormal abilities. Under this project, a group of scientists managed to get in touch with a foreign(read alien) civilization. The head of this top-secret project shared some details with reporters for the first time.

On a regular winter day in Moscow, in the comfort a room with a fireplace, journalists were given a real sensation. A senior retired official of the Ministry of Defense, lieutenant-general in reserve, PhD, a fellow of the Academy of Natural Sciences Alexey Savin said that in the late 1980′s a group of researchers from the Expert Management Unit of General Staff managed to make a contact with representatives of another civilization. 

Interestingly, none of the journalists were particularly surprised but, rather, relieved with the “confession.

Vasily Yeremenko, a Major General of FIB in reserve, academician of the Academy of Security, Defense and Law Enforcement, was the first to speak to the press. In Soviet times he served in the KGB and supervised the Air Force and development of aviation technology. 

Among his assignments was collection of information by the Air Force of the facts of appearance of unidentified flying objects. According to Vasily Yeremenko, by that time there was an ample amount of such information.

Missile units were even given a directive in case of detection of UFOs. The main
task was not to create opportunities for reciprocal aggression. In 1983-1984 at
the testing grounds of the Academy of Sciences by Vladimirovka, the Ministry of
Defense and the KGB organized a large-scale study of paranormal phenomena. The
military training site was not a random choice. Experts have long come to the
conclusion that UFOs inevitably appear in places where military equipment and
weapons are tested.

We can say that we learned to summon UFOs in Vladimirovka. To do this, we dramatically increased the number of military flights and movement of the equipment. If the intensity on our side increased, UFOs appeared with the probability of 100 percent," explained Yeremenko. After six months of tests the authoritative commission came to three main conclusions.
First, modern science was not yet able to identify such phenomena. Second, it could be reconnaissance equipment of the U.S. or Japan. Third, it could be an impact of an extraterrestrial civilization. "The UFO topic today is ubiquitous. Precisely because of its scandalous nature serious scientists are not willing to identify their position on this issue. Pilots often see such objects, but they have a veto on this topic, so do astronauts. In confidential conversations they talk about their experiences meeting with UFOs, but they are afraid to speak publicly about this," said Vasily Yeremenko.
He believes that this subject requires a serious approach because it is a security issue. Yet, it is still a closed topic both in the U.S. and in Russia. Lt. Gen. Alexey Savin proceeded to reveal some aspects of the engagement of the Ministry of Defense. He headed the Expert Management Unit of the General Staff, whose task was to examine various unusual phenomena.
The main project of the unit was a state program on the discovery of intellectual human resources. The goal of the program was to identify ways to make the human brain work in a special regime of super-powers, making a person a superhuman. The Scientific Council of the program was led by an Academician Natalya Bekhtereva, who until her death served as a scientific director of the Institute of Human Brain of RAS.
Over two hundred highly skilled professionals from across the country participated in the program. "In the process of research, we came to the conclusion that a human was an energy and information system that receives information from outside. This is precisely why a human can manifest paranormal abilities," said Alexey Savin. In order to identify this external source of information, three groups were created. One group was formed from scientists, another - from military, and the third one was composed of women.
The group of women made the most significant progress in the research. Savin explained that they "wanted to make a contact with representatives of other civilizations. And we did it." According to him, a special method has been developed that allowed the human brain to tune into a contact. "We had to tune energy-contour of the human brain to a particular wave, like a radio," Alexey Savin explained.
No hypnosis, drugs, or other similar methods were used in the course of the experiment. A special system of testing was also developed to separate the incoming reports from hallucinations and insanity of the experiment participants. The experimental results were impressive: six participants were given a chance of physical contact, and two of them even managed to visit an alien ship. According to Savin, representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations revealed themselves gradually, giving away the information as they saw fit.
In particular, they talked about their government structure and education system. No information on the military could be obtained. The only thing they agreed to share was a scheme of the equipment for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. The head of the experiment explained that humans were like small children to them. "Our civilization is too young to be of interest to them as a subject for a dialogue. Because we are also a part of the universe, we may harm ourselves and other civilizations with our foolish actions, so they are looking out for us. "

The program of communication with extraterrestrial intelligence had been developed for several years until politics intervened. In 1993, the study was stopped and the unit disbanded. According to Savin, he was able to retain only a small number of documents, most of them, including photo reports, are still in the archives of the Ministry of Defense. Incidentally, the unique method for the development of the phenomenal abilities of an individual, until recently, was used in the Academy named after Gagarin until it was disbanded by the former Defense Minister Serdyukov. Yet, the core of the research team was preserved.
"Four years ago we tried to repeat the experiment, and we were successful," said Alexey Savin. According to him, today this work continues, and the "brains and talented people are still present in the defense industry." Answering the question of Pravda.Ru why it was decided to announce it to the media Savin replied: "Why hide something from people? Instead, they need to prepare for new challenges."

He believes that there are two global challenges today: climate change and shortage of drinking water. Russia has a special role in this process. "When we pass the point of bifurcation, people from all over will run to us. How will we meet them, with weapons? Of course, we will have to negotiate." Maybe all this is a puzzle from the "textbook" for young civilizations? Perhaps, aliens have arranged an experiment to see how we would handle it.
