Royal astronomer: ‘Aliens may be staring us in the face’

He made the remarks shortly after hosting the national science academy’s first conference on the possibility of alien life.
“They could be staring us in the face and we just don’t recognise them. The problem is that we’re looking for something very much like us, assuming that they at least have something like the same mathematics and technology,” he said.
“I suspect there could be life and intelligence out there in forms we can’t conceive. Just as a chimpanzee can’t understand quantum theory, it could be there as aspects of reality that are beyond the capacity of our brains.”
Lord Rees used the conference in January, entitled “The Detection of Extraterrestrial Life and the Consequences for Science and Society”, to ask whether the discovery of aliens would cause terror or delight on earth.
He told Prospect magazine that improved telescopes made the chance of finding extra-terrestrial life “better than ever”.
But Dr Frank Drake, the world’s leading “ET hunter”, told the conference that satellite TV and the “digital revolution” was making humanity invisible to aliens by cutting the transmission of TV and radio signals into space.
At present, the Earth is surrounded by a 50 light year-wide “shell” of radiation from analogue TV, radio and radar transmissions. But although the signals have spread far enough to reach many nearby star systems, they are rapidly vanishing in the wake of digital technology, according to Dr Drake.
The scientist, who founded the Search for Extra-terrestrial Intelligenceorganisation in the United States, said digital TV signals would look like noise to a race of observing aliens.

Russian Fireball's Origins Found
Russian Fireball's Origins Found
The fireball, spotted on April 19, 2014, near the Finnish-Russian border, likely escaped from the innermost region of the asteroid belt
By Becky Oskin and LiveScience
A crackling fireball that exploded over Russia last year appears to share an orbit with a huge asteroid discovered in October 2014, a new study reports.
The Kola fireball was spotted on April 19, 2014, as it lit up the night sky above the Kola Peninsula near the Finnish-Russian border. Its orbit is "disturbingly similar" to the asteroid 2014 UR116, slated to pass by the moon in 2017, the study authors said.
Camera observations by the Finnish Fireball Network, which monitors the sky for meteors and fireballs, and video from eyewitnesses helped scientists recreate the meteoroid's trajectory and hunt down meteorite fragments on the ground.
Josep Maria Trigo-Rodríguez, a researcher at the Institute of Space Sciences in Barcelona, Spain, led the international team of scientists who analyzed the meteorite's orbit. They calculated the fireball's size and path through Earth's atmosphere by examining its flight and the meteorite's final impact site. A computer model based on these figures was used to estimate the space rock's orbital path. [Crash! 10 Biggest Impact Craters on Earth]
The 1,100-pound (500 kilogram) meteorite is an ordinary H5 chondrite, a type of stony meteorite responsible for 31 percent of Earth's impacts. The fragments are called the "Annama meteorite" because the meteorite fell near the Annama River in Russia.
The precise detective works suggests the fireball escaped from the innermost region of the asteroid belt, the study researchers reported. The rock has an elliptical orbit that is typical of the Apollo family of near-Earth orbiting asteroids, and it likely came from the same broad source region as the Lost City, Peekskill and Buzzard Coulee meteorites, the researchers said.
The researchers compared the Annama meteorite's orbit with known near-Earth asteroids (there are more than 1,500). Of 12 potential matches, by far the closest match was with the asteroid 2014 UR116, they said.
The findings were published April 7 in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
The new report does not suggest that asteroid 2014 UR116 flung the Annama meteorite directly at Earth. However, the two bodies could be related. Scientists think that streams of asteroid fragments—such as the remnants of interstellar collisions—can sail on nearly identical orbits. Tidal forces may stretch out these rocky debris patches over time. Asteroids may also fragment from the stress of passing near the planets, the researchers noted.
"The tidal effect on an asteroid, which rapidly rotates under the gravitational field of a planet, can fragment these objects or release large rocks from its surface, which could then become dangerous projectiles at a local scale, such as the one that fell in Chelyabinsk, Russia," Trigo-Rodríguez said in a statement.
Asteroid 2014 UR116, discovered by Russian scientists on Oct. 27, 2014, measures 1,312 feet (400 meters) across, but does not pose an impact danger to Earth, according to NASA.

Unidentified Flying Object Falls Out Of The Sky and Explodes Over Russian City (Video)
Local News channels reported that an unknown object exploded in a suburb of the Russian city of Chita, with some saying it fell out of the sky.
According to sputniknews and macedoniaonline the incident took place in the Ugdan village earlier on Thursday April 9, 2015. “I heard an explosion and saw a huge pillar of black smoke around 11 or 12 a.m.,” Vladimir Milovanov told the local Altes TV channel.
No one was injured in the explosion but a nearby building sustained minor damage. Policemen collected scraps of metal from the crater left by the blast and sent them for testing.
“The object could not be identified. It does not resemble anything. One of the theories (of what happened) – gas balloon explosion,” the press service of the Regional Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs said.
It appears the Russian local administrative office had trouble coming up with a good lie, so it took a page from 1947 US – “it’s a weather balloon”.

Ruimtevaart Ook Mars heeft een poollicht. Dat ontdekte de Amerikaanse satelliet Maven, maakte ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA vandaag bekend.
Vlak voor 25 december nam Maven vijf dagen lang een felle, ultraviolette aurora waar boven het noordelijke halfrond van de rode planeet. Mars is daarmee de vierde planeet met aurora's. De Aarde, Jupiter en Saturnus kennen het verschijnsel ook.
Het 'kerstlicht', zoals de wetenschappers het noemden, is niet de enige onverwachte ontdekking van Maven. De satelliet, die sinds september vorig jaar de dampkring van Mars bestudeert, kwam ook een mysterieuze stofwolk tegen in de atmosfeer, op een hoogte van tussen de 150 en 300 kilometer.
Wat voor stof het precies is, weet NASA nog niet. 'Als het stof afkomstig is uit de atmosfeer van Mars, kan dat betekenen dat we een fundamenteel proces in de atmosfeer van Mars missen', zei Laila Andersson van de universiteit in Colorado.

Op de planeet Mars bevinden zich duizenden gletsjers. Zij zijn niet zichtbaar omdat zij onder een dikke laag stof verscholen liggen. Met radarapparatuur is aangetoond dat zij genoeg bevroren water bevatten om de planeet met een dikke laag ijs van ruim 1 meter af te dekken. Het gaat om ongeveer 150 miljard kubieke meter water. Dat schrijven onderzoekers van het Niels Bohr Instituut aan de Universiteit van Kopenhagen deze week in het blad Geophysical Reseach Letter.

Op beelden van satellieten die rond Mars draaien, hebben de onderzoekers de vorm van de gletsjers kunnen waarnemen. Lange tijd wisten onderzoekers niet of het ijs bestond uit bevroren water (H2O) of koolzuurgas (CO2) of dat het om modder ging. De wetenschappers in Kopenhagen hebben nu kunnen vaststellen dat het om bevroren water gaat. "Wij hebben metingen met radarapparatuur in de afgelopen tien jaar bekeken om te zien hoe dik het ijs is en hoe dat zich gedraagt'', zegt Nanna Bjørn Karlsson. "Wij vergeleken dat met hoe gletsjers zich op aarde gedragen en daarvan konden we modellen maken."
UFO Hunters Found Large Saucer-Shaped Object On Martian Surface
UFO Hunters Found Large Saucer-Shaped Object On Martian Surface

Keen eyes of people observing Mars anomaly discovered a giant saucer-shaped object that was apparently abandoned on rugged Mars terrain. The latest discovery on the Red Planet was first featured in YouTube by Mars Moon Space Photo Zoom Club and Paranormal Crucible.
According to the club, the flying saucer can be found in 2.6°N, 21.5°W at images of the Martian region of Aram Chaos, near the Ares Vallis and Valles Marineris. Mars Orbiter Camera of NASA captured the images.
MMSPZC believes that the structure is not part of the natural terrain on Mars, contrary to what many suggested. The group points out that the artificial structure was probably left on the Martian surface after it had developed a fault and crash landed.
The UFO hunters estimate the saucer-shaped object to be around 200-300 meters in diameter based on the measurement of the Martian terrain where the unidentified object was discovered. A metallic luster can be seen after a close examination of the object in sharp contrast with the Martian surface. The mysterious object also has a circular shaped and distinct curve with sharp edges. The edges and geometric design both stand out against the background of the natural environment.
Discoverers believed that the object’s rectangular spaces are indicative of artificially constructed windows or lookout screens. The two groups of UFO hunters feel that the image in Mars Orbiter Camera is a massive saucer-shaped UFO.

290 million year old human footprint has researchers scratching their heads
290 million year old human footprint has researchers scratching their heads
Is it possible that we have history all wrong? That the dates that conventional history is giving us regarding mankind are all incorrect? That humans lived on Earth much sooner that science originally thought so? With all of the recent discoveries that are being made, it certainly seems like a possibility. A Possibility that mainstream scholars seem to have a problem with, since that would mean our history book would need to be rewritten? The origin of man and the fundamentals of religions would change a lot, and that is something that mainstream scholars cannot possibly deal with.
At first this footprint might not seem like much, as you can probably come across it anywhere on Earth, but this is no ordinary footprint. You can obviously see the anatomy of it, it resembles a modern-day human foot, but the thing is, this footprint is fossilized and embedded into a stone that researchers believe is at around 290 million years old. That is a gigantic missing period of time that if proven to be accurate will change a lot of things in society as we know it today.
The discovery of the 290 million year old footprint was made in New Mexico by paleontologist Jerry MacDonald in 1987. In the vicinity of this mysterious footprint there are fossilized impressions of birds and other animals. The discovery of the human impression has left MacDonald particularly puzzled and not he or anyone who has seen and studied the impression has not been able to explain how this modern footprint could have been located in the Permian strata, which according to scholars dates from 290 to 248 million years, a time period which occurred long before man or even birds and dinosaurs existed on this planet, of course, that is according to modern science and scientific thinking.
Should we change the way we think and look at things? Or should we accept modern-day scientific thinking which suggests, there is no way that is a human footprint dating back 290 millions of years. It seems to be an ongoing debate between people who firmly believe that history is wrong, and those who point out that all of these mysterious findings are actually a hoax and have nothing to do with reality.
This 290 million year old footprint has been categorized by paleontologists as problematic as they do not seem to understand the way it got there, and better yet, who left it there. Basically some would say that to prove that this footprint which dates back 290 million years isn’t a fake, all we have to do is find something similar to it, and researchers have found numerous unexplainable things that can be connected with this footprint found in New Mexico.
In this image we see a similar footprint dating back millions of years, the only difference is that this footprint is gigantic and located in Africa.
Researchers have had mixed feelings about this footprint, and they don’t seem to try very hard to debunk it, nor have they argued about the authenticity of the footprint. According to most researchers, they comment on the matter saying that ” It just looks like a human footprint”. Well, it doesn’t only look like one, it clearly is one.
Researchers discover an ocean 644 km below the surface of our planet
Researchers discover an ocean 644 km below the surface of our planet
Remember all of those science-fiction movies and books from Jules Verne, like “Journey to the Center of the Earth”? Apparently not everything is made up. There might be a lot of unknown stuff down there… and if there is water… could there be life? Maybe not as we know it but in a completely different way? Well the possibilities are there.
After decades of theorizing and discussing possibilities, scientists report to finally have discovered a large ocean of water inside the mantle of Earth, and they pint out that it is a large water “tank” that could fill the oceans on Earth three times. This incredible discovery suggests that the surface water of the planet came from within Earth, as part of a “complete water cycle on the planet” instead of the dominant theory proposed that water arrived to Earth by icy comets that passed by the planet millions of years ago.
Scientists are learning a lot about the composition of our planet even today. And the more they manage to understand, the more accurately will predictions regarding climate change, weather and sea levels get since all of the mentioned above is closely related to the tectonic activity that vibrates incessantly beneath our feet.
This study was performed by researchers and geophysical scientists in the United States and Canada who used data obtained from the USArray- which is a set of hundreds of seismometers located throughout the United States to constantly “listen” to the movements of the Earths mantle and core. Researchers believe that the water on Earth may have come from within the planet and was “pushed” to the surface thanks to geological activity. An article published in the journal “Nature” states that researchers have found a small diamond that points to the existence of a vast water reservoir beneath the mantle of the Earth, approximately 600 kilometers beneath our feet. According to the lead author of the study Graham Pearson, member of the University of Alberta, Canada, “This provides extremely strong confirmations that there are wet spots deep inside the Earth”. “The transition zone may contain as much water as all the oceans together,” Pearson said. “One reason why the Earth is a dynamic planet, is the presence of water inside. The water changes depending on the way the world works,” he added.

After researchers have studied the movements in the mantle and the core of the Earth for years, and after completing countless complex calculations to double check their theories, researchers believe they have found a gigantic pool of water located in the transition zone between the layers of the upper and lower mantle – a region which sits somewhere between 400 and 660 km below the surface.
This discovery opens up a door of other possibilities of what else is down there? Are those theories that talk about the Earth being hollow true? Well, our planet might not be Hollow, but it sure isn’t rock solid, as scientists themselves have said that there are countless enigmas regarding what exactly is below the surface and very strange things happen 600 kilometers below the surface.
This new theory suggests that the planet’s mantle is filled with a mineral called Ringwoodite, and this mineral is believed to contain water.
Measurements by the USArray indicate that the deeper the mineral Ringwoodite is pushed into the mantle, the increased pressure forces the water, a process known as “merging dehydration”.
Is there another world beneath ours? Well, that depends on what you believe, but ancient mythology and history have often spoken about the underworld and that it can be accessed. The question here is … does this discovery change anything? Skeptics will remain closely minded and will hold on to their precious ideas and theories, but with each new research and study, we understand that we have very little knowledge about Earth, its oceans and that what is located below the surface.
Are these UFOs in the skies over Ullapool? … Or just clouds?
Are these UFOs in the skies over Ullapool? … Or just clouds?
UFO-clouds-3
Conspiracy theories have emerged around UFOs after a picture was taken above the west coast of Scotland.
Neil Borthwick captured the pictures of flying-saucer shaped clouds from his home in Ullapool last night after he saw them above Loch Broom.
The 54 year old soon posted them online, prompting conspiracy theories to blossom.
William Topping, from South Shields, wrote on Facebook: “You might be laughing but these exact same cloud formations turned up on several different sites today and were witnessed at over 20 locations in the northern hemisphere, all within 60 minutes of each other.
“And as stated, absolutely identical, carbon copies.
“Now that is spooky…
“So much so, NASA took a whole load of them down within minutes of publishing.”
The reality may be somUllaewhat less interesting.
The rare lenticular clouds, which are rare in the UK, are created in certain conditions when air is pushed upwards by a mountain.
They are one of the most common causes of UFO reports.
Mr Borthwick was less taken in, unwilling to believe aliens would visit Ullapool.
He said: “It was shortly after 8pm, I just happened to glance at the window and I thought, that’s interesting.
“I went out onto the street beyond mine to get a photo. I’d reckon the clouds were in view for up to half an hour.
“There were other people taking photos of the sky – the sunset was spectacular apart from the fact the clouds were there.
He added: “I’m not suggesting for one minute we are being invaded by aliens. If they ever did come I’m not sure they would land in Ullapool anyway.”
NASA Promises To ‘Find Alien Civilizations By 2025′ – The Drip Feeding Of Disclosure
NASA Promises To ‘Find Alien Civilizations By 2025′ – The Drip Feeding Of Disclosure
“We are on the cusp of discovering alien civilizations”, NASA’s top scientists have said. They have very recently predicted that we are just one generation away from finding something in our Milky Way neighborhood, which is bustling with environments conducive to life…….let the Drip Feeding of Disclosure begin!
The NASA Scientists made their comments at a panel discussion Tuesday, the scientists predict that the first discoveries will definitely come within a decade. Chief scientist Ellen Stofan believes we’ll have “definitive evidence within 20 to 30 years,” as “in most cases we have the technology, and we’re on a path to implementing it. And so I think we’re definitely on the road.” Ellen Stofan has been asked about UFO’s and Aliens before but always kept quiet when asked….
- “I think we’re one generation away in our solar system, where it’s on an icy moon or on Mars, and one generation [away] on a planet around a nearby star,” former astronaut John Grunsfeld said at the session.
- “Sometime in the near future, people will be able to point to a star and say, ‘that star has a planet like Earth’,” said Sara Seager, professor of planetary science and physics at MIT.
“Just imagine the moment, when we find potential signatures of life,” concurred Matt Mountain, a top space telescope boffin. “Imagine the moment when the world wakes up and the human race realizes that its long loneliness in time and space may be over – the possibility we’re no longer alone in the universe.”
“I think in the next 20 years we will find out we are not alone in the universe,” added NASA astronomer Kevin Hand.
NASA has made some huge strides in both spotting distant worlds and analysing their chemical composition. Stofan said: “We know where to look.” Indeed, the Kepler mission has found no shortage of rocks that could support life, while icy moons in our own galaxy have long been suspected to hold incredible secrets deep beneath their own icey crust – among them Jupiter’s enigmatic moons – especially Europa, where a gargantuan body of water rages beneath the thin surface and water vapour’s are literally sprayed 200 km upward, giving clues to life-supporting minerals beneath. This while Ganymede is thought to have more water than all of Earth’s oceans combined!
Simulated View from Europa’s Surface (Artist’s Concept) (Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech)
The same can also be said of Saturn’s satellite Enceladus. Scientists found evidence to suggest that, like our more distant galactic neighbours, Mars also harboured entire oceans, the cracks and scars on its surface appearing to be made by raging water currents full of salt. All of these scenarios makes the Milky Way quite “a soggy place,” according to the director of NASA’s Astrophysics Division, Paul Hertz.
“We can see water in the interstellar clouds from which planetary systems and stellar systems form,” he says. “We can see water in the disks of debris that are going to become planetary systems around other stars, and we can even see comets being dissipated in other solar systems as [their] star evaporates them.”
The now well known Mars rover Curiosity, which is actually stationed on the Red Planet, continues to dazzle scientists daily with intriguing new finds. Just two weeks ago, it discovered organic molecules containing carbon and “fixed” nitrogen – elements which are central to ALL known life. The mars Rover has also got many people talking about NASA hiding images from Mars which prove that there was once life on the Red Planet!
The Mars Rover ‘Curiosity’ Searching for life on Mars!
The Kepler mission’s amazing success has also been a godsend – its lens measuring the very tiniest changes in the light intensity of a star, as a planet passes by it. With its robotic eye, it showed us that life and rocky worlds should be far more common in our galaxy than the likes of gassy Saturn and Jupiter!
Numerous advances in both technology and our ability to implement it means that we are also accelerating the pace more than ever. One US company has recently just been given a grant for its plasma rocket to reach Mars in JUST 39 days, while NASA itself is already hard at work on developing a new Mars lander that resembles a Flying saucer and promises to make it possible to “safely land heavier spacecraft” on alien planets!
NASA’s Flying Saucer style Craft
It has become very clear that Humanity is now facing two major separate challenges in space: the first one is finding signs of intelligent life, the other is identifying potentially habitable environments. While one may rush to tie the two together, the latter is a considerably easier proposition to make.Stofan is all but certain the manned mission to Mars will emerge with spectacular discoveries, which kind of confirms the conspiracy theories that are going around about their being signs of ancient civilizations on Mars, something which NASA has been accused of trying to cover up: “I’m a field geologist; I go out and break open rocks and look for fossils,” she said. “Those are hard to find. So I have a bias that it’s eventually going to take humans on the surface of Mars — field geologists, astrobiologists, chemists — actually out there looking for that good evidence of life that we can bring back to Earth for all the scientists to argue about.”
Dr. Ellen Stofan
Europa will see us much sooner than that. As soon as 2022, our $2.1 billion will get to work on probing the mysteries of its oceans. And then there are the water vapours, spotted in the region next to the southern pole….Could there be life lurking under those deep under the Ice Oceans?!
Water, methane and carbon monoxide have been detected in the atmosphere of exoplanet HR 8799 b
These exciting discoveries are accompanied by huge strides in lens technologies NASA says will be central to finding alien life within at least two decades. Already there are several contenders for the next King of telescopes, their tech specs threatening to leave the famed Hubble far behind; among them the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which cost the space agency a fat $8.8 billion. The technology on-board the impressive Telescope is strong enough to peer at distant ‘super-Earths’ and analyse the possible chemical composition of those worlds, the gasses they spew out being strong indicators of life. For direct signs, however, we still need to take good old photos of the rocks, according to Hertz. That is why NASA is hard at work on the next generation of telescopes – one that will feature a coronagraph. The device is invaluable for blocking out the glare of the host stars of the exoplanets, giving us a clear view of the celestial bodies. It’s set to launch sometime in the mid-2020s….just imagine being able to stare out at and see other potential civilized worlds buzzing with life, but if we can see them one things for sure, somebody out there has already seen us!
Well here it is people the news that we all wanted to hear, NASA admitting firstly that there IS Alien life out there and secondly confirming that we will find ‘where’ the Aliens are!
This piece of important news gets the alarm bells ringing with people shouting out loud “Disclosure Disclosure!” and yes this is a great piece of Drip Feeding Disclosure, building us up to the inevitable that Aliens exists not too far from us (in the greater scheme of things!). It’s clear to many of us that we are being visited by Alien Beings, and if we know and have seen like a lot of us have NASA know this very well too! NASA and the Governments of this world know A LOT more than they are letting on…..do you think it’s a coincidence that Aliens are making the News nowadays? NO! Is it a coincidence that Scientists are firing up the Large Hadron Collider again? NO! These two key areas are VERY important in discovering the Truth!
It is clear that NASA and the Scientists of this world KNOW that we are not alone…and are seeking ways to travel beyond the stars just like our ET friends……but at what risk to mankind!?
These are exciting times and as we always state here at U.I.P Science Fiction is now becoming Science FACT! So lets keep digging for the truth.

Sinkholes as Deep as Eight-Story Buildings Form Along Shoreline of the Disappearing Dead Sea
Sinkholes as Deep as Eight-Story Buildings Form Along Shoreline of the Disappearing Dead Sea
The Dead Sea is disappearing at an alarming rate, leaving behind thousands of sinkholes that are chipping away at the coastlines vibrant and touristy atmosphere.
The Dead Sea - which is actually a lake - is known for being almost 10 times as salty as the ocean and for having the lowest elevation on Earth. However, over the last few decades, the shoreline has become known for sinkholes that appear to just pop up out of nowhere.
More than 3,000 sinkholes exist along the banks of the Dead Sea, ABC News reported. And some of these craters dive 80 feet into the ground - the equivalent of about an eight-story building.
(Thinkstock/istock)
Gidon Bromberg, the Israeli director at EcoPeace Middle East, told ABC news that "these sinkholes are the direct result of inappropriate mismanagement of water resources in the region."
The Dead Sea is robbed of 2 billion gallons of water each year because of water diverted from the lake's main water source - the Jordan River - since the 1960s, according to the American Associate, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. Mining of minerals from the Dead Sea has also contributed to the disappearance of the lake's dense and salty water.
The 2 billion gallons of water translates to a decline in water levels of a meter every year (on average) or a total of 30 meters since 1970, according to research conducted by Duke University.
"With the Dead Sea level dropping so rapidly [a meter a year, on average], these sinkholes are inevitable," said Mark Wilson, a geology professor at the College of Wooster.
While researchers have agreed on different hypothesis, not many disagree that the declining water levels are behind the phenomenon.
David Ozsvath, a professor of Geology at the University of Wisconsin, said beneath the clay-like surface layer are cavernous spaces that are filled with water. However, as these subterranean spaces dry up with the receding water levels, the surface layer can collapse into the emptied space creating chasms along the banks.
Ozsvath said some sinkholes form over time, while other appear overnight. An earthquake or even heavy rain can cause a sinkhole to collapse into the drained voids in the subsurface.
He added that the number of developing sinkholes could be reduced by diverting less water from the Jordan River and allowing water levels in the Dead Sea to rise.

Several witnesses video UFOs over Phoenix on Easter
Several witnesses video UFOs over Phoenix on Easter
openminds.tv
Orange balls of light were seen by several people over Phoenix, Arizona on Easter Sunday. A couple of those witnesses caught the objects on video.
Arizona’s 12 News interviewed Peter Perez, who says he and his family saw the objects just before sitting down for Easter dinner. Perez says his step-father saw them first and called the rest of the family over to take a look.
The story on AZCentral.com says the sighting took place on Saturday. However, Perez says it was Easter, and later in the story, they mention the sighting was on April 5, 2015, which was Easter. The Saturday thing must be a mistype.
Can't believe my eyes. Over 20 amber orbs hovering over Glendale AZ. They were silent and headed East. #Ufo #AZ #Arizona #GlendaleAZ
Either way, Perez says it was about 8:51 pm when his step-father pointed out the lights.
Perez says they saw a “fleet” of orbs over the horizon. He estimated there were about 18 to 20 amber-colored orbs. He told 12 News, “We were in awe.”

Another image of the Easter Sunday Phoenix UFO proved by Peter Perez. (Credit: Peter Perez/12 News)
Perez said the area they came from was obstructed from his view.
According to Perez, the lights hovered in a group, stationary, for a minute before moving off to the west and disappearing from view. After losing sight of the objects, Perez stayed outside for a few minutes. He then saw a second group of lights moving similar to the first.
Perez said the second group was smaller, about 10 lights, he estimated.
“They were something I’ve never seen,” Perez told 12 News. “I don’t want to stretch out and say they were another life form, but I know it was something that I’ve never seen before.”
Perez caught a few seconds of video, which can be seen above.
12 News talked to a second witness, but that witness wanted to remain anonymous. This witness also took pictures, but they were not provided in the 12 News story. However, Perez was able to look at them, and he says they were similar to what he saw.
Perez says he does have an interest in UFOs. He told 12 News, “It’s always been something that’s intrigued me, but I’m not a UFO hunter or anything.”
Another witness to the lights is a bit more of a UFO Hunter. YouTuber TimTheBall posted video of the lights he says he captured on Easter Sunday at about 9:05 pm. He has several other UFO videos posted on his YouTube page as well.
TimTheBall’s description of the UFOs is very similar to the description given by Perez.
TimTheBall writes in his video’s description: “This video was shot from the top of my car in my driveway in Glendale, AZ. whole valley as they vanished one by one. When I looked back west, I was astonished to see a new cluster of lights, also on the move across the valley toward the east, and also burning out one by one. I have no idea what they are, but I do not believe these are flares, as they crossed the entire valley sky. When you see each cluster appear, my camera was pointed toward the far west valley. They were vanishing from sight when my camera had panned all the way to the east. They went from a dead float to a quick acceleration.”
12 News asked viewers who may have seen the UFOs on Easter Sunday to comment on their Facebook. At least one other witness was convinced that what she saw were Chinese Lanterns. Many agree. Similar comments have been made on TimTheBall’s YouTube video.
TimTheBall disagrees. He responded to the YouTube comments, saying: “Chinese lanterns do not go from a dead float, to a horizontal acceleration, crossing at least 50 miles of city in 2 minutes.”
“I didn’t claim they are ET, but it is a UFO,” he added.
Chinese Lanterns can look strange. They can go from a slow pace to a fast one if caught by the wind. They also are often amber in color, and they are used most often on holidays, like Easter.
However, another alleged witness who responded to TimTheBall’s video, writes: “Chinese lanterns do not fly at speeds outpacing helicopters capable of speeds of 120 mph., plus Easter Sunday the wind was not present at all, not even enough [wind] to move a 50′ flag….NOT Chinese lanterns people.”
So the debate continues. Take a look at the video and let us know what you think. Better yet, if you were a witness, let us know what you saw.
