Scientists build first map of hidden universe

A team led by astronomers from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy has created the first three-dimensional map of the 'adolescent' Universe, just 3 billion years after the Big Bang. This map, built from data collected from the W. M. Keck Observatory, is millions of light-years across and provides a tantalizing glimpse of large structures in the 'cosmic web' – the backbone of cosmic structure. 

On the largest scales, matter in the Universe is arranged in a vast network of filamentary structures known as the 'cosmic web', its tangled strands spanning hundreds of millions of light-years. Dark matter, which emits no light, forms the backbone of this web, which is also suffused with primordial hydrogen gas left over from the Big Bang. Galaxies like our own Milky Way are embedded inside this web, but fill only a tiny fraction of its volume.

Now a team of astronomers led by Khee-Gan Lee, a post-doc at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, has created a map of hydrogen absorption revealing a three-dimensional section of the universe 11 billions light years away – the first time the cosmic web has been mapped at such a vast distance. Since observing to such immense distances is also looking back in time, the map reveals the early stages of cosmic structure formation when the Universe was only a quarter of its current age, during an era when the galaxies were undergoing a major 'growth spurt'.

The map was created by using faint background galaxies as light sources, against which gas could be seen by the characteristic absorption features of hydrogen. The wavelengths of each hydrogen feature showed the presence of gas at a specific distance from us. Combining all of the measurements across the entire field of view allowed the team a tantalizing glimpse of giant filamentary structures extending across millions of light-years, and paves the way for more extensive studies that will reveal not only the structure of the cosmic web, but also details of its function – the ways that pristine gas is funneled along the web into galaxies, providing the raw material for the formation of galaxies, stars, and planets.

Using the light from faint background galaxies for this purpose had been thought impossible with current telescopes – until Lee carried out calculations that suggested otherwise. To ensure success, Lee and his colleagues obtained observing time at Keck Observatory, home of the two largest and most scientifically productive telescopes in the world.

Although bad weather limited the astronomers to observing for only 4 hours, the data they collected with the LRIS instrument was completely unprecedented. "We were pretty disappointed as the weather was terrible and we only managed to collect a few hours of good data. But judging by the data quality as it came off the telescope, it was clear to me that the experiment was going to work," said Max Plank's Joseph Hennawi, who was part of the observing team.

"The data were obtained using the LRIS spectrograph on the Keck I telescope," Lee said. "With its gargantuan 10m-diameter mirror, this telescope effectively collected enough light from our targeted galaxies that are more than 15 billion times fainter than the faintest stars visible to the naked eye. Since we were measuring the dimming of blue light from these distant galaxies caused by the foreground gas, the thin atmosphere at the summit of Mauna Kea allowed more of this blue light to reach the telescope and be measured by the highly sensitive detectors of the LRIS spectrograph. The data we collected would have taken at least several times longer to obtain on any other telescope."

Their absorption measurements using 24 faint background galaxies provided sufficient coverage of a small patch of the sky to be combined into a 3D map of the foreground cosmic web. A crucial element was the computer algorithm used to create the 3D map: due to the large amount of data, a naïve implementation of the map-making procedure would require an inordinate amount of computing time. Fortunately, team members Casey Stark and Martin White (UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab) devised a new fast algorithm that could create the map within minutes. "We realized we could simplify the computations by tailoring it to this particular problem, and thus use much less memory. A calculation that previously required a supercomputer now runs on a laptop", says Stark.

The resulting map of hydrogen absorption reveals a three-dimensional section of the universe 11 billions light years away – this is first time the cosmic web has been mapped at such a vast distance. Since observing to such immense distances is also looking back in time, the map reveals the early stages of cosmic structure formation when the Universe was only a quarter of its current age, during an era when the galaxies were undergoing a major 'growth spurt'. The map provides a tantalizing glimpse of giant filamentary structures extending across millions of light-years, and paves the way for more extensive studies that will reveal not only the structure of the cosmic web, but also details of its function – the ways that pristine gas is funneled along the web into galaxies, providing the raw material for the formation of galaxies, stars, and planets.

The W. M. Keck Observatory operates the largest, most scientifically productive telescopes on Earth. The two, 10-meter optical/infrared telescopes near the summit of Mauna Kea on the Island of Hawaii feature a suite of advanced instruments including imagers, multi-object spectrographs, high-resolution spectrographs, integral-field spectroscopy and world-leading laser guide star adaptive optics systems.

The Low Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (LRIS) is a very versatile visible-wavelength imaging and spectroscopy instrument commissioned in 1993 and operating at the Cassegrain focus of Keck I. Since it has been commissioned it has seen two major upgrades to further enhance its capabilities: addition of a second, blue arm optimized for shorter wavelengths of light; and the installation of detectors that are much more sensitive at the longest (red) wavelengths. Each arm is optimized for the wavelengths it covers. This large range of wavelength coverage, combined with the instrument's high sensitivity, allows the study of everything from comets (which have interesting features in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum), to the blue light from star formation, to the red light of very distant objects. LRIS also records the spectra of up to 50 objects simultaneously, especially useful for studies of clusters of galaxies in the most distant reaches, and earliest times, of the universe.

Travis Walton holding sky watch at UFO abduction site

(Before It's News)

Travis Walton (Credit: Open Minds/Peter Beste)

Travis Walton’s alleged UFO sighting and subsequent abduction, is one of the strangest, most credible, and most famous alien abduction stories. His experiences were the focus of the 1993 movie Fire in the Sky. Now, 39 years after the event, Walton is inviting the public to join him for a nighttime sky watch at the site where it all went down.

Walton says, “I am kind of nervous about it, because it is the first time I go back on the site at night.”

He is right to be nervous, because the events that he and his six fellow crew members describe are quite frightful. In a nutshell, the men say they saw a bright light in the forest that they believed to be a fire. They rushed to the site only to find a large metallic disc-shaped object hovering above the forest floor.

Walton, being a bit of a show-off, ran off to get a closer look, despite his friends calling for him to get back into the truck. The object shot out some kind of beam at him, and Walton flew several feet in the air. Believing him to be dead, and scared out of their wits, his co-workers took off.

Once they came to their senses, they went back for Walton, but he was gone. They reluctantly reported the incident to the police, who thought they had actually killed Walton and made up the UFO story as a cover.

Walton was gone for several days, and everyone believed him to dead, when he ended up calling his family from a pay phone near where the UFO was seen. He had thought only a few hours had passed. Walton later remembered strange events taking place while he was gone. He seemed to be aboard the craft they had seen in the forest. Although what he experienced had similarities to other alien abduction accounts, Walton says he can’t say for sure he had any interaction with extraterrestrial beings. For more details about the event you can watch his lecture at the 2011 International UFO Congress below.

For obvious reasons, Walton says he avoided the UFO site for many years. He says he went back during the day at the request of a TV show, because he felt “There is safety in numbers, at least the allusion of safety.”

As for nighttime visits, Walton says, “I was there one time at night with National Geographic, but other than that I steer clear of there.”

Walton says the few times he has visited the site since 1975, he has not experienced anything too unusual.

He says, “The weirdest one was when I went back after the forest fire had moved through. They closed out the woods and shut down the roads and didn’t want anyone going in there. But as soon as it opened up, me and my son went out on my motorcycle, and strangely enough, right when we got to the Turkey Spring contract area the motorcycle just cut off like you turned the switch off.”

Walton says they hid the bike behind some bushes and walked around. When they returned to the motorcycle, it started right up and he has had no problems with it since.

There has been some investigation done in the area to look for physical traces left in the area. He says researchers have found that the trees near where the UFO was seen do show accelerated growth during the time of the sighting. He says he has been told it is similar to that which has been recorded due to radiation. Trees in the area which had fallen prior to the UFO event do not show the same effect.

The sky watch event will be held on the anniversary of the UFO event, which was November 5, 1975. This year November 5, falls on a Wednesday night. It will be hosted by Ben Hansen, co-host of SyFy’s Fact or Faked. He will be bringing night vision equipment from his company Night Vision Ops. The next day there will be a press conference at the Holbrook County Courthouse with some of the crew members who saw the UFO in 1975, and the son of the man who owned the local newspaper.

All of this is part of the pre-conference events taking place before the Skyfire Summit that weekend in Overgaard, AZ, near the UFO site. Walton is helping to organize the conference which is focused around his experiences.

Walton says the conference was not his idea. He was approached by a man who offered to sponsor it, and talked him into it. Walton says at first he thought it would be too much work, but then he says he “got to thinking.”

Walton explained, “Once I had given a talk at the local college here and we had standing room only. People in this area are really hungry to get the real facts, and they need an education. So that’s the thrust of the conference. The speakers I chose, and the topics I signed are designed to be kind of the foundation. The ground floor of sort of a Ufology 101.”

He envisions the conference as his opportunity to educate the people in the area where the UFO event took place, and the place he still calls home. In fact, he says almost all of the witnesses to the event still live in the area. It is also a once in a lifetime opportunity to spend time at ground zero of one of the most compelling UFO stories with a man who may have spent several days aboard an alien spacecraft.

Open Minds will be there with our cameras. If we all get abducted we’ll catch it all on video. Although, Walton says he hopes that doesn’t happen.

Either way, we will get some interviews and footage for those of you who can’t make it, and those of you who are too scared to make it. But for those of you who are adventurous, come and join us. Just don’t forget some warm clothes. This is Arizona’s high country, not like the hot Phoenix weather you see on TV.

UFO encounter recalled over nuclear weapons depot

(Before It's News)

Kriegsfeld, Germany, is a municipality in the Donnersbergkreis district, in Rhineland-Palatinate. (Credit: Google)

A German witness recalls an incident that occurred at the former Kriegsfeld Army Depot that housed nuclear weapons, according to testimony in Case 60648 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was on guard duty Thanksgiving Day, November 25, 1982, in tower #5 in what was then West Germany.

“I observed a very dark triangular-shaped craft fly from the southwest over the valley, over the town of Gerbach, and directly over my watch tower flying in a northwest direction,” the witness stated. “I observed the craft for over 10 minutes as I picked it out over the horizon to the southwest.”

Spotting aircraft was a common event.

“It was a natural occurrence to see military aircraft on a normal basis during hours of daylight. I often observed A-10, F-4f, F-111 and OV-10 aircraft in the area and was quite familiar with all military aircraft of the era. It was a hobby for me to watch aircraft and could easily identify aircraft by sight and often just by the noise of their engines.”

But this object was different.

“This dark aircraft peaked my attention because it was flying very slowly and very straight. It was normal to see the aircraft that flew in that area to have some movement, however slight on all three axis of movement. This unknown craft flew as if it were on rails – slow, steady with no appreciable movement outside of the northwest direction of travel until it actually flew above me.”

The witness estimated the object’s distance.

“I would estimate that due to the height of my watch tower and the location of the Army depot on the highest hill in the area and perched at the edge of the hill where I could observe the valley that stretched out in front of me that I first saw the aircraft at least 15 km distant to me, possibly even further. It took at least 7 to 10 minutes for the craft to fly that distance until it was directly above me.”

The witness took a position to see the object better.

“As it flew directly overhead, I stepped out onto the tower landing with M-16 in hand and looked straight up at this object. I could not identify its manufacture as any aircraft I had ever seen. It made no noise of any type. I noticed a marked absence of noise of any kind at that moment.”

The witness noticed odd effects as part of the sighting.

“I later thought of it as a type of tunnel vision as I was concentrating so hard to identify the craft. The other notable event that no aircraft could do was as it flew directly over me. As it passed over, the craft rotated 360 degrees nose down. It pointed directly at me during this 360 degree rotation. It ended up pointing in the same direction it had originally been pointing after this 360 degree nose-down rotation. I must also note that the aircraft at no time lost its forward momentum of travel while undergoing this maneuver. I had the overwhelming feeling that it was acknowledging my presence with this maneuver or was ‘checking me out’ as it did it.”

The object moved away from the base.

“The craft continued in the northeast direction and made a slight direction change to the north that would have taken it over another ‘non-nuclear’ depot just up the road.”

The witness did not report the incident at the time.

“Because of my security clearance and status under the personal reliability program I just buried the incident and didn’t report it to anyone. I can only presume the other Military Policemen in towers 2, 3 and 4 either suppressed their sighting of the aircraft for the same reasons as I or they did not observe the craft because they were asleep. It was not uncommon for guards to sleep in the towers. The morale of the unit was very low and the duties there were tedious and at time quite harsh.”

A recent television show caused the witness to think about the incident and then file a report.

“I had long forgotten the incident until watching a program on the History Channel when the sighting in Brussels was brought up. I know aircraft very well and can easily identify types and makes visually. This was no aircraft known to me. It flew too perfectly. Had no noise of any kind and performed a 360 degree nose-over roll without any loss to forward momentum or altitude. It has been many years but I am sure I could trace the flight path over a map of the area. The Army depot is still there. It has been converted into a windmill power station now.”

Kriegsfeld is a municipality in the Donnersbergkreis district, in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. MUFON International is investigating.

UFO mania: Desert Glass Formed by Ancient Atomic Bombs???

"Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds" 

The Bhagavad Gita Seven years after the nuclear tests in Alamogordo, New Mexico, Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb, was lecturing at a college when a student asked if it was the first atomic test conducted. “Yes, in modern times,” he replied. The sentence, enigmatic and incomprehensible at the time, was actually an allusion to ancient Hindu texts that describe an apocalyptic catastrophe that doesn’t correlate with volcanic eruptions or other known phenomena. 

Oppenheimer, who avidly studied ancient Sanskrit, was undoubtedly referring to a passage in “The Bhagavad Gita” that describes a global disaster caused by “an unknown weapon, a ray of iron.”

Ancient Hindu texts describe great battles taking place and an unknown weapon that causes great destruction. A manuscript illustration of the battle of Kurukshetra, recorded in the Mahabharata. Image source: Wikipedia;

While it may be alarming to the scientific community to speak of the existence of atomic weapons before the present cycle of civilization, evidence of this phenomenon seems to whisper its verses in every corner of the planet.

Desert Glass 

This evidence comes not only from the Hindu verses but also from ample extensions of fused glass fragments scattered throughout many deserts of the world. Silicon crystals, curiously cast, resemble remarkably the same fragments found after the nuclear explosions in Alamogordo’s White Sands atomic testing site.

In December 1932, Patrick Clayton, a surveyor from the Egyptian Geological Survey, drove between the dunes of the Great Sand Sea, close to the Saad Plateau in Egypt, when he heard crunching under the wheels. When he examined what was causing the sound, he found great chunks of glass in the sand.

The find caught the attention of geologists around the world and planted the seed for one of the biggest modern scientific enigmas.

What phenomenon could be capable of raising the temperature of desert sand to at least 3,300 degrees Fahrenheit, casting it into great sheets of solid yellow-green glass? 

While passing through Alamogordo’s White Sands missile range, Albion W. Hart, one of the first engineers to graduate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, observed that the chunks of glass left by nuclear tests were identical to the formations that he observed in the African desert 50 years earlier.

However, the extension of the cast in the desert would require that the explosion be 10,000 times more powerful than that observed in New Mexico.

Many scientists have sought to explain the dispersion of large glass rocks in the deserts of Libya, the Sahara, Mojave, and many other places in the world, as products of gigantic meteorite impacts.

However, due to the absence of accompanying craters in the desert, the theory doesn’t hold up. Neither satellite imagery nor sonar has been able to find any holes.

Furthermore, the glass rocks found in the Libyan Desert present a grade of transparency and purity (99 percent) that is not typical in the fusions of fallen meteorites, in which iron and other materials are mixed in with the cast silicon after the impact.

Even so, scientists have proposed that the meteorites causing the glass rocks could have exploded several miles above the surface of Earth, similar to the Tunguska Event, or simply rebounded in such a way that they carried with it the evidence of the impact, but leaving the heat from the friction.

However, this doesn’t explain how two of the areas found in close proximity in the Libyan Desert show the same pattern — the probability of two meteorite impacts so close is very low.

Nor does it explain the absence of water in the tektite specimens when these areas of impact were thought to be covered in it some 14,000 years ago.

Mohenjo Daro’s Ancient Catastrophe The city where culture emerged in the present-day Indus Valley is a great enigma. The rocks of the ruins have partially crystallized, along with its hazy inhabitants.

Moreover, mysterious local texts speak of a period of seven days of gratitude toward flying cars called Vimana for saving the lives of 30,000 inhabitants from a horrific episode. In 1927, years after the discovery of the Mohenjo Daro ruins, 44 human skeletons were found on the outskirts of the city.

The majority were found face down, lying in the street and holding hands as if a serious catastrophe had suddenly engulfed the town. In addition, some bodies present signs of unexplainable radiation.

Many experts believe that Mohenjo Daro is an unequivocal sign of nuclear catastrophe two millennia before Christ.

Nevertheless, the city is the not the only ancient locale suspected to have gone nuclear.

Dozens of buildings from the ancient world present bricks with fused rocks, like the heat test that modern scientists cannot explain:

• Ancient forts and towers in Scotland, Ireland, and England 
• The city of Catal Huyuk in Turkey 
• Alalakh in northern Syria 
• The ruins of the Seven Cities, near Ecuador 
• Cities between the Ganges River in India and the Hills of Rajmahal 
• Areas of the Mojave Desert in the United States 

In whatever place of the world, the presence of an abysmal temperature and vivid descriptions of a terrible cataclysm suggest that there may have been an earlier epoch in which possibly nuclear technology was already known — an epoch in which atomic technology was turned against man.

Local man 'a believer' in Bosnian pyramids

Sue Tone Reporter

Prescott Valley resident Tom Steele traveled to Bosnia this summer to visit what some call the world's oldest pyramid.
Steele said there is compelling evidence the pyramids are authentic sites dating back 12,000 years. Others, including international archeologists, call the cluster of natural formations northwest of Sarajevo a hoax
"I'm a believer; others can doubt it," Steele said.
In 2005, Semir Osmanagic looked at satellite images and observed several pyramid-shaped hills near Visoko, a farming community. He began researching what he called the Pyramid of the Sun and Pyramid of the Moon. Carbon dating of the exterior concrete slabs of the Pyramid of the Sun places the age of the structure at 12,400 years, Steele said, adding that other scientists have validated this time frame.
People have been farming on the hillsides for years; roads and homes, including 10th century castles, dot the countryside, he said.

Pyramids and ancient structures have fascinated Steele for a long time. He has visited England's Stonehenge and Ireland's Newgrange, a 5,000-year-old ancient temple. In 2006, he traveled to Egypt to see its pyramids, tombs, and museums.

Then a friend sent an email about the Bosnian pyramids.
"I did research online, and said I have to go. I just have to go," Steele said.

The first day in Visoko he took a cab to within 150 yards of the top of the Pyramid of the Sun and climbed the rest of the way. The most interesting aspect of this pyramid, he said, was that the four corners are oriented to the cardinal directions, and are less than 12 seconds off true north.
"It's not accidental," Steele said.

The sides of the pyramid were covered by three layers of pre-cast concrete. The forms were made from wood, which was carbon dated to about 12,300 years ago, he said, as compared to the 8,000-year-old Egyptian pyramids.

"The satellite images said it is too perfect to be a natural formation," he said, adding that ground-penetrating radar has determined it is a manmade structure with open rooms and some kind of bone material in one of the larger open spaces.

The following day, Steele visited the Pyramid of the Moon, a smaller structure that is more terraced and covered with vegetation, homes, gardens and cows. Primitive pathways led to the dig sites where archeologists and volunteers had uncovered slabs.
"I walked to an area that was a terrace with rectangular blocks that made up the floor. It validated that this place was real," he said.
Inside the pyramid's tunnel system, Steele said he never felt deprived of oxygen. The tunnel, more than a kilometer in length, made a full circle with places where the roof was 7 feet tall, and others were 4 feet tall.
"They said it was because there is an effect, the Venturi effect, where as the tunnel goes down smaller and then opens up, it pulls air through it," he said.

Another interesting aspect is a mound of plasticized ceramic made in blocks that form a sandwich. Inside, he said, there's an unidentified metallic object.
The morning after Steele left, 32 volunteers arrived to help with the dig. Many of them are more interested in the spirituality of an ancient culture than the precise nature of archeological work - a cause for concern of scientists and archeologists who feel amateur excavations will damage historic medieval artifacts at the sites.

The December 2009 issue of Smithsonian states that "Many experts remain dubious." And Wikipedia cites a December 2011 article in Balkanologie that calls the pyramids a "pseudo-archaeological claim... Geologists, archeologists and other scientists have however concluded, after analysis of the site, its known history, and the excavations, that the hills are natural formations known as flatirons that there are no signs of human construction involved."
Steele said the head of the antiquities department in Egypt, who claims the pyramids are a hoax, has refused to visit the pyramids.
"People in the archeology field don't want to admit that they didn't know this was there. 'How could we have overlooked this?' They don't want to admit it, that here is a site that is more ancient than there (Egypt)," he said.

Steele enjoyed his stay and described Bosnians as "marvelous."
"Initially, I was concerned. This area was predominantly Muslim. With the exception of a few women, many did not wear a hijab (head covering)," he said. "In Old Town Sarajevo, one end of town was either old buildings with damage from artillery shells or a new European high-rise. They have a trolley system, cobblestone streets, artisan fountains, and nice people."

UFO Near Edwards Air Force Base, Southern California, 1954

This picture is undoubtedly one of ufology’s most interesting and genuine UFO photo cases. It was taken by professional photographers from the Martin Aircraft Company (which later merged with the American-Marietta Corporation and the Lockheed Corporation to eventually become what is now Lockheed Martin) for a promotional shot of their Martin B-57 Canberra bomber. The bomber was flying near Edwards Air Force Base in southern California sometime in 1954. This photo was leaked to the UFO organization NICAP.

Filer’s Files # 42 -2014 – NASA Says, “Life on Mars” - PART I

Craft above Clearfield, Pennsylvania on September 20, 2014

In special reports, this week’s files cover: NASA Boss says There’s Life on Mars, Extraterrestrial Life Exists, Ancient Nephilim Rising from Obscurity, Lockheed Develops New Technology,  ISIS in Syria and Iraq, Abductee Thumper is a Sweet Dude, and New Spaceplane.

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: Atlantic Ocean, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia and Wyoming.

Sightings of UFOs were also reported in: Australia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Costa Rica, Germany, Holland, Mexico,  Portugal, Spain, Ukraine, and in England in the United Kingdom.

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

NASA Boss says, “There’s Life on Mars”

NASA chief Charles Bolden

The longstanding question about the existence of life on Mars may have been answered, but one source believes the official news may have been a slip of the tongue. UFO Globe uploaded a compelling video of  from an October 9 interview of NASA Chief Charles Bolden on the Mars Mission. He confirmed that the space agency does believe life existed for a time on the red planet. But then, he hesitantly said there may be evidence of current life forms.

“People always ask the question ‘Why Mars?’ Several reasons: One, Mars is very Earth-like, or least used to be Earth-like. It is a planet, a sister planet to Earth. It is the most likely planet in our solar system, um, that had life at one time… may have life now, and we feel can definitely sustain life.”

A UFO Sightings Daily blogger, who claims to have a Masters in counseling, says that the NASA head’s body language shows that he was a bit ahead of himself in revealing the part about life possibly still existing on Mars. He points to a slight hesitation from Bolden when explaining the state of the mission.

Statue on Mars

“Bolden then went on to say that Mars may still have life Statue on Marson it, but did you notice his hesitation. He hesitated when he began saying the part, ‘…may have life now.’ He even squinted his eyes and cringed (right side) as if it hurt him to say it. Deep down inside he was dying to tell the world and finally allowed himself to slip it out to the public.”

Nonetheless, the writer claims that the NASA chief’s revelations are victories to UFO enthusiasts, who now have more reason to believe in extraterrestrial life. Moreover, Bolden’s statements, according to the writer, validate what conspiracy theorists have held all along: Unidentified flying objects were not mere figments of Astro-biologists’ imaginations after all.  http://www.inquisitr.com/1533804/nasa-boss-life-did-exist-on-mars-and-may-still-do-ufo-globe/

Extraterrestrial Life Exists

 How often do you look up into the night sky and wonder just how many stars, planets, galaxies and more are out there? Space has been a high area of interest that has always fascinated scientists, philosophers, and pretty much just about everyone. What is it about deep space that grabs our attention so much? To think about just how big the universe is can really put things into perspective.

Counting the stars in the universe is like trying to count the number of sand grains on a beach, not possible. Although estimates vary among different experts, the general consensus is that there are at least between 100 billion and 200 billion galaxies in our universe. Think about that for a moment, and now throw in billions of stars in each galaxy! This number could very easily be in the trillions for all we know.

Take the Milky Way Galaxy for example, which measures to about 120,000 light years across (it would take light that many years to travel across the galaxy), and contains up to 400 billion stars. Over 2000 planets have been discovered orbiting the various stars.

Scientists estimate that at least 10 billion habitable Earth-sized planets exist in the Milky Way alone (one galaxy out of millions). The environment does not have to be Earth-like to support life. Intelligent life can live underground or in conditions and environments unknown to us.

Julian Assange Wiki-leaks

 The past few years have seen a surge of whistle-blowers that have come out and said some remarkable things. Bradley Manning, Edward Snowden and Julian Assange the Wiki-leaks founder have received the most attention. Mr. Assange, (shown) pledged to publish leaked US diplomatic cables relating to flying saucers. The reality is that there are hundreds of whistle blowers who have come forward with verified credentials and backgrounds. The first one that comes to mind is Paul Hellyer, Former Canadian Defence Minister, the man responsible for unifying the Canadian Air Force, Army and the Navy into one united force now known as the Canadian Forces. For someone with such a background to come out and make these extraordinary claims definitely grabbed the attention of many people. http://www.collective-evolution.com/2014/09/25/nasa-bring-scientists-theologians-together-to-prepare-world-for-extraterrestrial-contact/

Ancient Nephilim Rising from Obscurity

Brett Allen (Amazon Rainforest, Equator) Ancient cultures across the world and even the Christian Bible tell tales of giants once known as Nephilim. With the current interest in the DNA testing of ‘Nephilim’ skulls of nearby Peru, few realize that in 2012, a group of researchers believe they discovered what may be the structures of giants overgrown deep in the Amazon jungle of Ecuador. Author and researcher Bruce Fenton and his team have now conducted more investigation of the site and have discovered what they believed may be the ‘Lost City of the Giants;’ so named for the large giant-sized tools that were found in the region, as well as the local legends of a race of giant humans that once inhabited the area.

    The site features at least one extremely large pyramidal type structure of 80 meters square base and 80 meters height, with steeply inclined walls, as well as what appears r to be a pyramid complex area. This [pyramid] structure is made up of hundreds of large stone blocks, weighing two tons with a flat pyramid complex area at the top where many artifacts have been found. “It looks like a paved wall, an ancient street or plaza with a 60 degrees angle, perhaps the roof of a larger structure. Many of the stones were perfectly aligned, have sharp edges and seemed to have been sculpted by human (?) hands,” said Mr. Duverneuil, who undertook an expedition to the site in April and May, 2013.

Side of Pyramid

But no normal sized human being used the tools the expedition has found; the size of the tools has led Fenton to suspect that this is one of the ‘lost cities of the giants,’ famous in Ecuadorian legend. Such finds garner great fear among the indigenous inhabitants; as they believe the sites are protected either by spirits and beings ‘not of this world.’ Local legends have long told of giant humans and many bones of giant people have been recovered from caves in the remote rainforest area of the Amazon and Ecuador.

   Although the government of Ecuador originally arranged an expedition to the site, despite the obvious evidence one can clearly see, government ‘experts’ concluded the site was natural, ruling out any government funding or preservation of the site. Fenton and his colleagues argue that rectangular blocks, bonding material, obvious stone blocks, pyramidal structures, stone implements, as well as a number of large stones with circular holes cut through the center, all obviously dispute such an assertion. Like the Bosnian pyramids, the blocks were bonded with a substance like cement that some scientists theorize were used to build the Pyramids of Giza. Also recovered around the site are pottery and stone tools, some of which are incredibly large.

There seems “little doubt” that the researchers have stumbled on the remnants of “habitation from a very ancient era,” wrote Fenton on his website Earth4all. “What we need to do now, is have samples tested, dated, and examined by relevant experts.” Fenton and his colleagues are working to set up a museum in the nearest local village to safely house artifacts where researchers and the public can view artifacts. The team is privately seeking help in raising funds for the museum, as well as the site’s further research and exploration. Thanks to Brett Allen

Lockheed Develops New Technology

Lockheed Martin is diversifying out of its pure warfare technologies and has developed a new approach to desalination. Pakistan and India have been threatening nuclear war over disagreements over fresh river water. The new discovery will allow both countries to obtain fresh water from the Indian Ocean.  The “old fashioned,” desalination technology is five times more expensive at converting saltwater to freshwater than just extracting it from groundwater, lakes, and rivers. Thick six inch filters were used to separate the salt from the water.

 graphene

A stack of paper – three reams worth – measures about six inches high were used previously. Now Lockheed has developed a “miracle material” called graphene. At 1-atom thick, graphene is the thinnest material on the planet. It’s more flexible than rubber. Yet, it’s stronger than diamonds – 300 times stronger than steel. Graphene is so strong it can literally remove radioactive elements from water that’s been contaminated from a nuclear spill. You could drink that water right after it runs through this filter. It’s an advanced material – extracted from graphite – with massive potential for numerous applications.

A single sheet is the width of the desalination filter that Lockheed developed. Besides being ultra-thin, this desalination filter is 1,000 times stronger than existing technologies. It can convert saltwater to freshwater 100 times faster. And it uses 1/100th – that’s 1% – of the energy it previously took. Desalination now becomes economically viable in even the poorest countries. It becomes economically viable to the 780 million people who can’t access clean drinking water now.

India is now allocating $92.1 billion a year towards solving this water crisis. The Indian government is going to cut big checks… we’re talking checks totaling many billions of dollars to Lockheed…Pakistan has also committed $300 billion towards water technology.

ISIS in Syria and Iraq

The US military significantly escalated its airstrike campaign against the extremist group the Islamic State forces (ISIS) in the Syrian border town of Kobani on Monday and Tuesday, conducting 21 airstrikes in and around the town. US Central Command said the strikes had successfully slowed the group’s advances in the town, which is in danger of falling to ISIS, so air strikes are being increased. Allegedly air strikes made a direct hit on a large ISIS  fighting position killing several hundred.

ISIS Area in Orange

The strikes in and around Kobani  destroyed seven of the group’s staging locations and destroyed one an ISIS-held building and damaged three ISIS-held compounds, two ISIS mortar positions, and destroyed three ISIS armed vehicles. Kurdish forces making a stand against Islamic State fighters in Kobani say they have begun coordinating with the U.S. military to provide targets for air strikes, helping to halt the advance of the fighters through the Syrian front line town. A four-week siege of the mainly Kurdish town on the border with Turkey has become a focus of the U.S.-led effort to halt the militants who have seized swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq shown in orange on the map.

 ISIS terrorists appear to have used chemical weapons taken from the abandoned arsenals of Saddam Hussein in their slaughter of Kurds in Kobani. The jihad terrorists took Iraqi poison gas and transported it to Syria. Shocking photos posted on Fox News show gruesome wounds inflicted on the victims. The images appear to show “mustard gas or some kind of blistering agent.

Iraq

Islamic State group can muster between 20,000 and 31,500 fighters across Iraq and Syria. ISIS is making a serious play for the control of Baghdad, with a serious risk of getting crushed. But the Iraqi army is also a total mess, which explains why ISIS has had the success it’s had despite being dramatically outnumbered.

ISIS militants have infiltrated one of Baghdad’s outer suburbs, Abu Ghraib which is only eight miles from the runway perimeter of Baghdad’s international airport. The Iraqi Army forces were under heavy pressure and Apache Helicopters were brought in to hit the Islamic State Forces. A triple suicide bombing Sunday killed at least 58 people in Iraq.

MANPADs Missile

It’s cause for serious concern now that the Iraqi Defense Ministry has confirmed ISIS has MANPADs, (shown) shoulder fired anti-aircraft missiles. The Iraqi army is still patrolling Abu Ghraib, but they play cat and mouse with the ISIS fighters who stage hit and run attacks on security forces. It’s a mixed picture around the city. ISIS took over the city of Fallujah — only about 40 miles west of Baghdad — in January, and the Iraqi security forces have fought in vain for a year to force them out.

 ISIS has gradually extended its reach forming a 180-degree arc around the Iraqi capital from due north around to the west, and all the way to the south. Inside Baghdad itself, there are ISIS sleeper cells that carry out almost daily bombings and assassinations.

An Iraqi officer told CBS News that the airstrikes are helping to clear an ISIS-free buffer zone around the city, where there are Iraqi boots on the ground. In fact, there are 60,000 men assigned to defend the capital, and CBS News correspondent David Martin reports that there are 12 teams of American advisers deployed with the Iraqi brigades. In June, Iran sent about 500 Revolutionary Guards to help Iraq fight ISIS. These aren’t just any old Iranian troops. They’re Quds Force, the Guards’ elite special operations group. The Quds Force is one of the most effective military forces in the Middle East, a far cry from the undisciplined and disorganized Iraqi forces that fled from a much smaller ISIS force in Mosul.  

 ISIS will continue to conduct beheadings to make up for losses

 ISIS is scary, all right, and despite President Obama’s claim that the Islamic State is neither Islamic nor a state, the group’s extreme version of religious orthodoxy is clearly an important part of its allure. But when a radical militia group waving a flaming ideological sword has successfully lured the major Western powers into yet another self-destructive Middle East war. 

Abductee Thumper is a Sweet Dude

Thumper writes, “I was gave a vision of the Japan earthquake and radiation two days in advance and have predicted many things that have happened including the shuttle being destroyed. I’ve often wondered if there was any correlation to them and ufo activity. My grandmother had the same gift and as 5 years old kid she described to me ufo encounters out of North Bend Coos Bay, Oregon area by Horse Fall Beach. She heard a voice telling her to walk down the beach where she met small people in blue suits, and a silver saucer.

I still remember what she told me, but I didn’t realize the ramifications of what she said until I had my encounters, with ufos/abductions. It then made sense to me at 21. Looking back, my grandmother predicted many things that really passed including the death of her own son being run over by a log truck. She spoke about the people she met in blue suits next to a saucer like craft, back then they put her in a mental facility and gave her shock treatments. From then on she never spoke about them at all. However she would come get me during the summers and I stayed with her. Now looking back I remember a lot of strange dreams about Jesus next to a saucer craft and I was afraid

We shared a common bond looking back of faith and trust, and I still feel it today…..but this second sight/gift. I believe is real and it has been on spot every time. I get the visions. It’s saved my life many different times. I know when their coming in advance and get real jumpy. In 1990, they picked me up and flew me to Boston Airport where we hovered for some time. I was looking out a port window waving at some people. They said, “Military jets were coming;” and they shot straight up into space. In 1994, I also had them fly over Springfield, Oregon my mom’s house. I took a gun with me for protection, but surrendered it to them. They took me all over the globe. Thanks to Thumper

New Spaceplane

Boeing and SpaceX Northrop Grumman has unveiled its vertical-launch, horizontal-landing reusable booster design for the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency’s (Darpa) XS-1 experimental space plane program.

Northrop, teamed with subsidiary Scaled Composites and Virgin Galactic, is working under a 13-month, $3.9 million Phase 1 preliminary-design contract, awarded in July. Contracts also went to Boeing with Blue Origin, and Masten Space Systems with XCOR Aerospace.

Northrop’s unmanned spaceplane is launched vertically from a transporter/erector/launcher, in a “clean pad”-operation with minimum infrastructure and ground crew. The spaceplane is designed for highly autonomous flight operations, the company says.

The reusable first stage would accelerate to Mach 10 or beyond and release an expendable upper stage designed to carry a 3,000-lb.-class payload into low Earth orbit, and then return to a horizontal landing and recovery on a standard runway.

Key goals of the XS-1 flight demonstration are to fly 10 times in 10 days, exceed Mach 10 at least once and launch a small payload into orbit. Darpa’s target is to reduce the cost of access to space for 3,000-5,000-lb. payloads to less than $5 million per flight.

The U.S. Air Force’s mysterious unmanned space plane, the X-37B, is about to land at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Thanks to CNN and James Nelson

Filer’s Files # 42 -2014 – NASA Says, “Life on Mars” - PART II

UFO Sightings in the United States

 Atlantic Ocean

A UFO spotted from a Carnival Cruise Lines ship is making the rounds on the web on October 11, 2014. A passenger aboard the ship off the coast of Florida was able to record the sighting on video, and that video was shared with popular YouTube channel.

 Blake Cousins of Thirdphaseofmoon explained that the UFO was spotted by a woman named Maureen and her friend who apologized via email for the quality of the video, saying she was “shaky and nervous.” The object could be something as simple as a drone purchased at Radio Shack. The sight of the flying object is met with screams and excited chattering. The oddly shaped UFO can be seen moving slowly and steadily across a blue sky. Thanks toThirdphaseofmoon.

California Disc

 San Jose — My husband and I watch planes take off and land at San Jose International Airport as a form of relaxing entertainment. On this night, September 20th, 2014 we noticed the planes stopped landing or taking off. During this time, there were absolutely no planes on or near the taxi area or air strips. My husband took a series of photos of a bright white disc that flew a few feet above the ground against air traffic. About 10-15 minutes went by when planes started taking off and landing again! My husband was reviewing the pictures and noticed a white circular shape object with a top dome light, windows, a red tail, and white front lights! You can clearly make out this object at center of photo! Its irrefutable proof that UFO’s do exist. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Redding — On Friday, October 10^th, 2014, at around 2 pm, in front of the Mt Shasta mall, an object caught my eye. There were clouds above where I was standing that looked like brushstrokes. Anyways I snapped a picture, went to post it on Instagram, and when I cropped it I noticed the object. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Colorado Orb

 Colorado Springs — These 3 videos were shot from my porch. The first video starts right after the first object ascended, and started glowing brighter, and then started to descend.  All three videos were shot within about 6 or 7 minutes. I apologize for my poor camera work, and language.  Thanks to MUFON CMS

Delaware Circle

 Bear — My sister noticed we had a circle in the back yard a month ago. I never took it serious and went out on October 14, 2014, to look. To be honest I never believed in things like this but it happened to us. The grass is dead in the center of the circle with a perfect circle. The grass around the circle is still fresh. I want to get someone to test the circle for radiation. Never actually saw the craft just the circle. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Florida Red Light

St George Island Plantation — While staying in a rented house I observed an orange sphere at airplane altitudes moving north in from the Gulf across the island on October 8, 2014. As I watched the orange glow faded 8:20 pm, but I could still see the faint outline of the object. It was a sphere and I took a short clip of this object. As I looked towards the west end of the island at 8:40 pm, a much larger orange sphere appeared.  It blinked on and off very quickly from full light to darkness like flipping a switch. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Idaho Orb

 Boise — Taking care of my bee hive on October 10, 2014,

I noticed this object moving in the sky and took this photo.

 Thanks to MUFON CMS

Massachusetts Light

 Middleborough – A light travelled south south-east across the sky with an orange glow with flames being emitted on October 11, 2014. There was no noise as it flew over the center of town about 6:55 PM.

 It was flying much too fast to be a hot air balloon. I estimate the altitude to be at least 2K to 5K feet. There was almost no wind at ground level. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Michigan Object

Wixom — While walking my dog on September 30th, 2014, I was watching the sky. When I first noticed the object it was headed in the opposite direction from the usual passenger plane route from Detroit Metro Airport. I wasn’t sure what to think, so I snapped five or six pictures. Three objects traveled together in a circle, flying in a formation. At some point the objects stopped circling, and headed southwest toward Lake Michigan. At that point I lost sight of them. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Mexico Disc

Albuquerque – I made a report of this a week ago, but now I’m including photos my wife and I found five incredible daytime discs.

Polaroid photos in an old photo album belonging to her grandfather. He was a captain in the Air Force and was stationed in Albuquerque from 1961-1965.  I scanned these photos in and blew them up and they are very compelling. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New York Objects

 Grand Island — Raymond Peter Kot II, Esq. writes my mother Alice and I on October 10, 2014, about 8:15 PM while parking observed a cluster of five reddish-orange moving UFO’s. They were in a disorganized pattern moving east towards Grand Island Blvd. Immediately after I turned on my Alcatel Smartphone video camera the objects changed course and began traveling south into a cloud layer at about 5,000 feet high. Then a sixth “straggler” craft followed the same course.  I was amazed at both their silence and very slow speed, of less than 100 M.P.H.  I wasn’t at all frightened by what I was observing.

My mother and I love listening to your interesting reports on Rense.com and would like to file a formal report on what we observed tonight. I am a solo practice attorney who does plaintiff’s litigation, unemployment insurance, workers compensation, family and criminal court appeals. Grand Island is the largest fresh water island in North America.  I possess a very high I.Q. and know what I was observing were not regular aircraft.  Raymond P. Kot II, Esq.

Oregon Disc

Beaverton — I was on the bus when I saw a giant black disc behind the moon on October 13, 2014. It covered everything behind; and the stars were not seen. This occurred for 30 minutes. It was stationary until a nearby black helicopter came closer, then it simply disappeared along with the fog surrounding the object. It seemed unnatural but I believed it was something extraterrestrial. Later, when I arrived at my location, colleagues also reported the sighting. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Pennsylvania Triangle

Clearfield — This picture was taken by an ex law enforcement officer and I promised not to give out his information so he sent me his pictures. He was gardening and was from the corner of his eye and snapped pictures before it flew off. Thanks to MUFON CMS

South Carolina Photos

 Lavonia, Georgia – My wife and I driving on Highway I-85 westbound in South Carolina saw multiple strange cloud formations on October 4, 2014, across the border in Georgia. My wife held her cell phone out the window and was snapping 7 shots as we rode. After snapping pictures we were looking at four objects which looked like exhaust coming out of the bottoms. One or two previous shots showed faint blurred images. The objects only appeared in photos. After seeing these, my wife and I wondered how we had pictures when nothing was visible. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Virginia Object

 Skyline Drive — I decided to take a trip to see if the leaves had begun to change color yet on September 30, 2014, but they were still green. So I drove off the beaten path and took a few pictures. I noticed longhorn cattle and took pictures as a cow ran towards me. It wasn’t until I was looking at my pictures that I noticed something unusual above a tree so I enlarged it. I noticed additional objects around the clouds. I didn’t think they were birds due to the height of the objects. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Wyoming Cylinder

Yellowstone National Park – At a view point from the above of waterfall on September 3, 2014, I took some pictures. I did not notice any movements until I got back to home and spotted five different objects. One was a cylinder moving down the mountain changing shape to a boomerang with a thick center. Then at the bottom of the rock it changed to humanoid like shape. The second object was cylinder shaped and appeared from the waterfall fog and start moving up and straight towards the mountain. It then went down into the fog. The third object looked like, a flying figure with head, torso, legs and hands extended forward. It flew into a cave on the side of rock and disappeared. Two orbs were moving one above each other. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Worldwide Sightings

 Australia Triangle

 Adelaide – I woke up to a cloudy morning that day and was looking outside the balcony while having my morning tea and noticed an invisible/reflective aircraft in the clouds on September 3, 2014. It is triangular and stationary. The clouds gave away the shape and size of the craft which is flying higher than an airplane that is about 5-8 minutes into take off and is much bigger. The plane flew past the craft and the craft was about five times bigger than the plane. It is unknown how long the craft stayed there as I have to leave for work. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Brazil Lights

Curitiba — I was driving on BR 116 about 10:30 PM, on October 10, 2014, and my wife and friend saw the lights. They told me to slow the car down to record the object. I then recorded a one minute long video of what I believe is a UFO because of its movements. The lights were vertical with little bubbles of red, yellow, and orange lights. We felt anxious with emotion and a bit scared. We lost the object as it descended below our view. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Bulgaria Object

Sofia – I went to a Rooftop café with a friend on a sunny day on September 30, 2014, and took several pictures of the mountain. The sunlight was strong so I couldn’t really see my iPhone screen. After I went back to our table in the shadow, I looked at the photos taken seconds one after the other. That’s when I noticed a flying object on one of them. I talked to a friend who is scientific and interested in the topic and he sends me your website. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Canada Lights

Bolton — I was driving home on October 12, 2014, and as soon as I saw it I knew it was a ufo and not an airplane. It was about 1 kilometer away and hovering. I immediately pulled over and took a video of it. It was pulsating many different bright colors.  I was awestruck. Thanks to MUFON CMS

 Burlington – Steve Szenkov writes, “I would like to mention that I have also photographed high flying birds recently and noticed a pink like ball with a small darker dot in the center near the birds much like the one mentioned Files#39 in Canada.” I am also into very strange stuff. I have never seen anything like this before that I have shot with my 400m and 600mm lenses. “Thank you. I enjoy your website.” Thanks to Steve

Costa Rica Circle of Lights

 San Jose — My cousin was downtown and saw a ship flying very slowly on September 19, 2013. He said, “I could not believe what I was seeing, and took out my cell phone immediately and got a picture of the ship.”  Thanks to MUFON CMS

Germany Orbs

 Hamburg — I was about to go out onto the balcony for a cigarette and I observed 10-15 glowing orbs ranging from red, yellow, green and blue on October 11, 2014. I had no idea what they could be and called my girlfriend to quickly come and look. She also saw them until they were out of sight.

The light flew or floated from left to right over quite a large distance before vanishing out of sight behind the trees. We both have no idea what we saw and are overwhelmed. The video and pictures were taken with iPhone 5c. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Holland UFO near Aircraft

 Amsterdam — A UFO appears to refuel itself in the chemtrail wake of a jet flying on October 12, 2014. The video appears to be an effort to document the contrails of the jet plane. However, the witness filming the action caught the weird UFO behavior as it passes through the chemtrail and halts for just a moment. The videographer manages to follow the UFO rather than the jet. The nearly two minute video shows in the opening segment, before switching to a magnified and slowed down version, which doesn’t help to clear up the mysterious behavior of the unidentified aircraft. The close-up reveals a flashing navigational beacon on the UFO, its shape and configuration resembles no known aircraft.

Is it possible that alien aircraft are using the chemical exhaust fumes of high flying aircraft to refuel spacecraft in Earth’s atmosphere? TheInterZone @YouTube Thanks to http://www.examiner.com

Mexico Light

San Luis — I was in my backyard looking at stars with my telescope on October 9, 2014, and spotted an airplane with a star like flying object circling around an airplane. Then the object started following the airplane. It was flying and not falling. I stared at it for a very long time, and then I started getting flashback’s of my life like the object was tracking my memory. I lost sight of it after the flashback’s and it blinked then disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Portugal Diamond

Lisbon — My wife and I, (I am a retired police officer), and two friends had just come out of a restaurant on October 4, 2014: at 10:20 PM, as we walking towards the Avenida De Liberdade on the north side of the river we saw an elderly man fishing who shouted, “Twenty planes had gone to bomb Syria”. Walking fifty yards further we saw many “craft” in the sky about 2000 feet up.

 A young Portuguese couple was also looking up to see the diamond shaped hovering objects. One or two of them had a purple and green light in the middle of the craft. Two US citizens thought that the objects were small “drones”. They were all silent and the size of a car. The sky was filled with 60 craft with jerky up and down movement. The craft were moving fluidly and deliberately south across the river faster than aircraft and disappeared into the clouds. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Spain Lights

Barcelona — It was a fleet of 9 UFOs that formed a parenthesis when I looked out the window on October 19, 2013. Then they formed an arrow indicating the place where they started to take off near a mountain called Montseny. They then dispersed and formed a diamond and began a straight approach. We closed the blinds because we were afraid.  Four of them came in formation, and I saw three lights in a triangle. They seemed like very large incandescent globes that moved in all directions with short movements. We took a photo near the mountain. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Ukraine Light

 Kyiv – I was working in our shop and go outside to see a bright star much more powerful then rest of the stars on December 2, 2013. The UFO is changing places and I know it is not star. I thought it was a helicopter, but it’s not changing directions and hovering for more than two hours. I go back to the shop to get my dvd camera with tripod and start recording the object. I go back into the shop for a battery and when I come outside the object was gone. Thanks to MUFON CMS

UK/England Sightings

 I was out in my garden on October 9, 2014, waiting till the sun set with my camera hoping I would be able to get a photo of the meteor shower. I was watching at 6.22 pm, as a small grey disc with a small round bump on top shot out of the clouds. It had a yellow beam like light underneath. I immediately picked up my camera and took as many photos as I could until it disappeared. I managed to get 4 blurry photos of it. It was travelling much faster than a plane. This “UFO” very small and moving fast so the pictures came out very blurry as it flew straight up into the clouds. Thanks to MUFON CMS

  Newton Abbot Devon — I have managed to capture a real abduction in progress. The photograph was taken on ‎‎25‎ July‎ 2014 at ‏‎2:47 PM. Not only did I capture this amazing photograph, but I also witnessed this event. I could see someone being raised up toward this UFO. If you look at the third enlargement of the photograph you can see a probe right in front of this abduction. The abductee and the probe were then pulled inside the UFO. The UFO then flew off at high speed and out of sight. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

MY COUNTRY 'TIS OF THEE, CONFUSED LAND OF CONSPIRACY  by Brad and Sherry Steiger.

October 13th is Columbus Day, celebrated for the bold explorer who, in 1492, set out from Spain across the ocean blue to find a faster trade route to China and ended up discovering a New World. Today, however, we know a bit more of the true history of our past, and we know that Christopher Columbus was far down the line from being the first to discover the New World—the Vikings, the Chinese, the Hebrews, the Greeks to name only a few.  More...

UFOS AND DEEP WATER LAKES AND THE CONNECTION WITH NEW YORK? by Cheryl Costa. 

For years it has been noted by UFO experts that areas near many deep water lakes around the world have an unusual amount of UFO sightings. These deep water lakes seem to be a magnet to UFO’s. There are many reports that some UFO leave the sky and enter the water, therefore becoming Unidentified Submerged Objects or USOs. So what does this have to do with New York State?  More..

STRANGE OBJECT STARTLES RESIDENTS OF SAN ISIDRO, PERU by Scott Corrales.

UFOs over San Isidro? Residents of the boardwalks on the border between San Isidro and Magdalena are alarmed by the presence of strange objects in the sky. On October 5th, while most citizens of Lima watched the election returns attentively, Melina Silva, a public relations instructor recorded the presence of an odd green light in the skies over Costa Verde.  More..

THREE EXTRATERRESTRIAL ENCOUNTERS  by Robert Torres.

While growing up in a small CT shoreline town outside New Haven, I never really believed in anything. I guess I was a child atheist. I believed what I was taught in school: logic and science. Ghosts, aliens, magic and even God were all made up things… Until one day the universe decided to let me in on some big secrets. It seems that everything I learned in school wasn’t the whole truth. Now that I’ve written my book and have spoken to others in the world of ufology, I found out that my extraterrestrial experiences beginning at such a young age is common. Often people who become contactees have their first contacts as children… More....

LOST LORE AND THE UFO RAPTURE - PART IV  by Steve Erdmann.

Skeptics were concerned that Fouche’ may have overstated, misrepresented, and possibly invented some of his facts from his history. Richard Boylan, Ph.D., M.S. Ed, MSW, B.A., Educator-Researcher, emeritus Professor of Psychology, and a retired Clinical Psychologist, who said, "At this time, I am aware of the existence of ten kinds of special-technology advanced aerospace platforms [mil-speak for craft], all incorporating antigravity technology in some form." More...  

UFOS PHOTOGRAPHED BY PA FAMILY NEEDS HELP IDENTIFYING WHAT THEY SAW!  by Roger Marsh.

My daughter and I were going to town and decided to take a couple of fall pictures with my phone,” the reporting witness stated. “The two pictures I took were less than a minute apart – maybe 5-10 seconds. The first picture, there is nothing in sky, just weird smoke circles noticed by my mother when we were looking at the pictures. The second picture has an object in it that we cannot explain.” More...

THE SIGNATURE SYMPTOM OF DEMONIC PSYCHIC / TELEPATHIC ATTACKS ARE NIGHTMARES  by Paul Schroeder .

When one encounters a demonic, at bedside, one knows that the expression, 'bad dreams' simply doesn't make the grade. Reptilian aliens, much like truer demons, can deliver such telepathic attacks, during so-called, 'sleep', OBE astral assaults. The nightmares are extraordinary in clarity and vividness and cause angst, comparable to consciousness, realistic in every way. They begin even before one's head hits the pillow, with eyes barely just closed, before one starts to dream and these vivid nightmares underline the powerful nature of an unholy one's psychic, telepathic attack. More...

WHERE'S WALDO?  by Richard Syrett.

Were Ralph Waldo Emerson still alive, I’d like to think he’d be a regular listener and viewer of The Conspiracy Show. Ralphie boy, foremost of the American Transcendentalists believed in a vast conspiracy: a conspiracy so all-encompassing and pervasive it goes virtually unnoticed. A plot so seemingly banal and innocuous it has become part of the furniture. More.... Also read: WHERE'S WALDO? - PART II.

AWAKENING OUR INNER LIGHT by Warwick Associates.

All of the most reputable and respected saints, sages, and mystics of both now and years gone by have frequently discussed the importance of the Light in our lives. So what is the Light? Am I referring to the light that radiates from a random bulb dangling from a ceiling, or perhaps the transparent daylight that emanates from a glorious sunshine? The answer is neither. The Light I am speaking of is essentially the Light of God, the Universe, All That Is, or whatever name you’d like to give it. More..

Daily 2 Cents: Dark Triangle Craft Over Nuclear Weapons Depot — Crawling Ghost — BC Resident Claims Sasquatch Hoaxing

(Before It's News)

Dark Triangle Craft Over Nuclear Weapons Depot

On November 25, 1982 (Thanksgiving Day) while on duty in Guard tower #5 at Kriegsfeld Army Depot in what was then West Germany I observed a very dark triangular shaped craft fly from the South West over the valley, over the town of Gerbach and directly over my watch tower flying in a northwest direction. I observed the craft for over ten minutes as I picked it out over the horizon to the southwest. It was a natural occurrence to see military aircraft on a normal basis during hours of daylight. I often observed A-10, F-4f, F-111 and OV-10 aircraft in the area and was quite familiar with all military aircraft of the era. It was a hobby for me to watch aircraft and could easily identify aircraft by sight and often just by the noise of their engines. This dark aircraft peaked my attention because it was flying very slowly and very straight. It was normal to see the aircraft that flew in that area to have some movement, however slight on all three axis of movement. This unknown craft flew as if it were on rails. Slow, steady with no appreciable movement outside of the northwest direction of travel until it actually flew above me. I would estimate that due to the height of my watch tower and the location of the Army depot on the highest hill in the area and perched at the edge of the hill where I could observe the valley that stretched out in front of me that I first saw the aircraft at least 15 km distant to me, possibly even further. It took at least 7 to 10 minutes for the craft to fly that distance until it was directly above me. As if flew directly over head, I stepped out onto the tower landing with M-16 in hand and looked straight up at this object. I could not identify it’s manufacture as any aircraft I had ever seen. It made no noise of any type. I noticed a marked absence of noise of any kind at that moment. I later thought of it as a type of tunnel vision as I was concentrating so hard to identify the craft. The other notable event that no aircraft could do was as it flew directly over me. As it passed over the craft rotated 360 degrees nose down. It pointed directly at me during this 360 degree rotation. It ended up pointing in the same direction it had originally been pointing after this 306 degree nose down rotation. I must also note that the aircraft at no time lost it’s forward momentum of travel while undergoing this maneuver. I had the overwhelming feeling that it was acknowledging my presence with this maneuver or was “checking me out” as it did it. The craft continued in the northeast direction and made a slight direction change to the north that would have taken it over another “non-nuclear” depot just up the road.

Because of my security clearance and status under the personal reliability program I just buried the incident and didn’t report it to anyone. I can only presume the other Military Policemen in towers 2,3 and 4 either suppressed their sighting of the aircraft for the same reasons as I or they did not observe the craft because they were asleep. It was not uncommon for guards to sleep in the towers. The moral of the unit was very low and the duties there were tedious and at time quite harsh.

I had long forgotten the incident until watching a program on the History Channel when the sighting in Brussels was brought up.

I know aircraft very well and can easily identify types and makes visually. This was no aircraft known to me. It flew too perfectly. Had no noise of any kind and performed a 360 degree nose over roll without any lose to forward momentum or altitude. It has been many years but I am sure I could trace the flight path over a map of the area. The Army depot is still there. It has been converted into a windmill power station now. – MUFON CMS

Ghosthunters ‘saw ghost crawling along road’

A team of ghosthunters are to return to a haunted Lothians mansion after claiming they spotted a spooky woman with a broken back crawling along a main road

Lanarkshire Paranormal investigators say they spotted the injured woman – dressed all in black – on her hands and knees as she made her way along a road in Cockenzie, East Lothian.

But after being helped to her feet the ghostly apparition stood up straight, thanked them for their help and then promptly disappeared.

The mysterious encounter came as the ghostbusters visited Cockenzie House, in East Lothian, earlier this year.

And the team have been so impressed with the ghostly goings on at the 17th century mansion they are returning for further investigations next month.

During their last visit, the ghosthunters also say they had other-worldly contact with a man who murdered his wife after his affair was uncovered, heard screams from a young girl and one member received a punch on the arm from an angry spirit named Edward.

In a recent report on the team’s last visit to the spooky home in June, Steff Murdoch-Richards, co-manager of the group, was reported to have gone to the aid of a woman who was crawling on all fours along the main road outside the mansion house.

The report states: “As he helped her up she was very cold and pale and, although she was crawling on the floor in heavy rain, her dress seemed dry and no signs of mud.

“She had no weight to her whatsoever and seemed perfectly fine once she was standing up.

“Within a few moments of walking away, he turned round and she was gone.”

In a video posted on the ghosthunting outfit’s web page, Steff adds: “I started thinking ‘why was she in that position?’

“She was crawling on the floor and it looked like her arms and quite possibly her back had been broken – but there was no sign of that when she stood up.

“And then, obviously, where did she go?”

The spooky encounter came on a night when the investigators had spent several hours in the historic house with guests and encountered a range of paranormal activities.

In the basement, the spirit of a man called Richard who had stabbed his wife Mary after being confronted about having an affair was picked up some members.

While during a séance held during the paranormal team’s visit in July, many people reported hearing a faint scream, while a ghostly presence going by the name of Edward began jabbing people in the ribs and punching one man’s arm.

Several people also reported sensing the presence of a young girl who had severely damaged her legs in a fall, while on the top floor of the property a number of different spirits were sensed.

The paranormal team is returning to Cockenzie House to further investigate the reported phenomena next month. – Edinburgh News

BC resident says he is responsible for staging all notable Sasquatch “sightings”

In the past 50 years there have been dozens of Sasquatch sightings throughout Canada’s province of British Columbia – often sparking much debate as to whether these sighting are legitimate. Lyle Northcott of Nelson has recently come forward saying he has evidence that proves not only that Sasquatch is a hoax but that he is the one responsible for staging most of the “sightings.”

“Making people believe in Sasquatch is easy, convincing them that I’m the guy behind the hoax is the hard part.” – Lyle Northcott, professional hoaxer

In this documentary we visit Lyle in Nelson as he makes his case for being a hoax mastermind. We must warn you, what you’re about to listen to is pretty convincing.

Astronomer Captures Compelling UFO Moving Across the Moon

(Before It's News)

In early October, Crow Tripplehorn, a frequent moon observer who shoots high definition videos through an 8-inch telescope, captured a black object unlike a satellite moving across the moon.

Tripplehorn posted two videos and suspects the unusual object doesn’t move in a straight line a normal characteristic of a satellite orbiting Earth.

POLICE OFFICER SPOTS A V-SHAPED OBJECT OVER NEW YORK

(Before It's News)

POLICE OFFICER SPOTS A V-SHAPED OBJECT OVER NEW YORK
CIRCA 1983   ——  YORKTOWN HEIGHTS  NEW YORK
 
Lt. Kevin Soravilla of the Yorktown Police Department, the truth is out there. More than 31 years ago, Soravilla and others saw an unidentified flying object in the sky.  Soravilla was working patrol on Route 118 in Yorktown near the Triangle Shopping Center when he saw a large object heading southbound flying less than 1,000 feet above the shopping center.  “I thought it was flying very low,” Soravilla sad. “It was a V-shaped object and there was green, red and amber banked across the object in the sky.”Soravilla stared, transfixed at the object and noticed it heading west to Peekskill and then flying over Putnam Valley. He contacted airports but they detecting nothing on their radar.  “What was it? I have no clue,” Soravilla said. 

Mike Samuels, who works for the Yorktown Highway Department, saw the same thing that night. While the two were at the Yorktown Police Department, they saw the object fly directly overhead.  Both said the object was 100 feet in width and made no noise. It was lit in red, green and amber.  “It passed me and then headed south to Croton,” Soravilla said. “I lost sight of it.”   Since that night, Soravilla has been trying to figure out what exactly it was, reading books and googling, but with no luck. The incident was profiled on an episode of “Unsolved Mysteries,” where eyewitnesses from Brewster to Chappaqua claimed to see something in the sky.  “I was very curious,” Soravilla said it. “It made me apprehensive. There’s no logical explanation for what that was.”

After the “Unsolved Mysteries” appearance, Soravilla got calls from people who said they saw something similar. “I’m not saying there were little green men piloting the thing,” Soravilla said. “I just can’t explain what it was.” Seeing the UFO fly overhead was “eerie,” Samuels said.   It was dead silence,” Samuels said. “You couldn’t hear anything. It was too silent to be ultralights. Every light was perfect. It was intense.”  Samuels said he doesn’t think we’re alone in the universe.  “To assume we’re the only planet with inhabitants is pretty arrogant,” Samuels said.

Nick Pope – Royal Society Meetings on Alien Life

(Before It's News)

In 2010, the Royal Society held two discussion meetings on extraterrestrial life. The first meeting considered some of the societal consequences of discovering alien life, addressing issues such as whether people would panic and what the implications might be for religious belief. The second meeting debated whether—if an alien signal was detected—we should reply and if we do, what we should say, and who should send the message. In his presentation, Nick Pope will give us the inside story of these fascinating and controversial discussions.

Nick Pope was Britain’s Fox Mulder. He ran the Ministry of Defence’s UFO desk, investigating UFO sightings. Although he was skeptical at first, he soon found this to be a real and alarming phenomenon. Today he writes as a freelance defense journalist and lectures on UFOs. He was a consultant to the UK’s National Archives during their recent release of UFO files.
