China is Set to Go Dark Matter Hunting

Chinese scientists are well on track to join the ongoing, worldwide hunt for the (still) elusive dark matter. Based on our most up-to-date data, dark matter accounts for just over 25% of the universe. Dark energy, on the other hand, makes up about about 68%, while normal matter (everything that we’ve ever seen—planets, stars, nebulae etc.) adds up to less than 5% of the universe. Unfortunately, we’ve yet to actually find dark matter or dark energy. Ultimately, the search for dark matter, the stuff that cannot be seen with telescopes, continues long after Dutch astronomer Jan Oort postulated the presence of dark matter particles in 1932.

Now, China is gearing up to make its contribution to the virtual army of scientific probes already hunting for this unseen portion of our universe.

Engineers from the Shanghai Engineering Center for Microsatellites (SECM) announced on May 29 that the country’s Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) will be launched into space by the end of this year. DAMPE will detect electrons and photons with unprecedented energy resolution in order to identify possible dark matter signatures. It will have the widest observation spectrum and highest energy resolution of any dark matter probe in the world.

“DAMPE satellite will observe the direction, energy and electric charge of high-energy particles in space in search of dark matter,” said Chang Jin, chief scientist of the project, at a press briefing held by SECM.

The 1,900 kg spacecraft will be inserted into a sun-synchronous orbit at the altitude of 500 km to perform observations for up to 3 years.

The probe will be equipped in a Plastic Scintillator strip Detector (PSD) that serves as anti-coincidence detector and charge detector, a Silicon Tungsten tracker-converter (STK) that measures the direction of incident particle, an imaging calorimeter that measures the energy with high energy resolution, and a Neutron Detector (NUD) that gives types of high energy particle shower.

According to SECM, all key components of the spacecraft have been tested and are functioning well. DAMPE is one of the five Chinese space science missions within the framework of the Strategic Pioneer Program on Space Science of the Chinese Academy of Science (CAS).

Having in mind the long-lasting and, thus far, disappointing search for dark matter, this is a tough task that the Chinese probe has set to undertake. To this day, we only know about dark matter’s existence because of gravitational effects. Scientists admit that something we have yet to detect directly is giving galaxies extra mass, some invisible matter, generating the extra gravity they need to stay intact. The question: “Will we ever find dark matter?” is still open. Perhaps this little probe can give us an answer.

10 Creepy Stories Of Encounters With Men In Black

The details and motives sometimes vary, but even stranger are the variations in the descriptions of the men in question. While some tales simply describe them as cold, aloof gentlemen wearing black suits, others say that they get an uncanny vibe from those who visit them. The stories tell of men who are unnaturally bald, men who talk in an almost robotic voice and wear lipstick over lipless mouths. Some suggest that they are from another world, disguising themselves as humans to learn our ways. Others believe that they are experimental cyborgs in the employ of the government. The truth behind the men in black is still shrouded in mystery, and we may never know the identity of these strange stalkers.

The Telepathic Encounter

A man known only as Larry claims that one night he was drifting off to sleep when he was contacted by a strange presence who communicated with him telepathically. This weird presence explained that he was not from Earth, but beyond that he gave no reason for contacting Larry. Somewhat skeptical, Larry asked the presence to provide some proof of its existence beyond simply sending thoughts into his head—he wanted a face-to-face meeting. The presence agreed to provide him with further proof—he would show up during the day when Larry was with his best friend.

Larry wasn’t sure what to make of the entire thing the next day, and while he continued on with life as usual, he obsessed about the dream for months afterward. Eventually, he caught up with his buddy at an Independence Day celebration at a nearby park. As Larry was talking with his friend, a black van pulled up nearby and two black-clad men got out. Two more similarly dressed men exited the van after them, but they did not appear to be entirely human in shape. The strange men sat down at a nearby picnic table, looked over at Larry, and then reentered their van and left just as mysteriously as they had arrived. Larry never found out why they had contacted him.

The Teleporting MIBs

Albert Bender was the director of an amateur organization called the International Flying Saucer Bureau and he believed that he had finally blown the lid off the whole flying saucer thing. He had his own publication called Space Review in which he planned to spread his discovery. After compiling all of his collected wisdom on the matter, he mailed it to a friend to look it over before he unveiled it to the world. Unfortunately, this attracted the attention of the men in black, who decided that it was time to pay him a visit and prevent him from leaking all their secrets to the world.

A couple days later, Bender was on his bed when he suddenly had a dizzy spell. He noticed several dark shapes in the room with him that slowly materialized into men in black suits with black hats obscuring their eyes and faces. He noticed in particular that the men’s eyes lit up with an incredible glow and they seemed capable of speaking directly to his mind. They made him promise to destroy his findings and cease all of his research into the subject—Bender was so scared that he was only too happy to comply.

Alleged Men In Black Caught On Video

A video was captured of two men in black who allegedly entered a hotel in Canada and started asking questions about one of the hotel employees. The stories say that the employee in question had recently seen a UFO and had told others about his experience. Not long after, these two men showed up at his place of employment. Luckily for him, he was not working during their visit.

According to witness accounts, the men were asking people not only about the employee in question, but also about conspiracies in general. They had no eyebrows or eyelashes, strange, hypnotic eyes, bald heads possibly disguised by wigs, and clothes that seemed to be meant for fitting in, but somehow were just enough out of place to raise alarm bells. These two men were definitely caught on camera—the question is whether they were clandestine government agents, beings from another world in disguise, or simply the product of a clever hoax. Regardless of the answer, there is something hair-raising about two men in suits walking into a hotel in the middle of the day and asking strange questions about one of the employees, then leaving as mysteriously as they came.

A Postal Worker’s Terrifying Experience

An anonymous postal worker from Washington, DC was out delivering mail one day when he decided to stop and eat an apple. When he was finished, he looked around for a trash can and, finding none, decided to just toss it onto the ground. Before he could leave the area, a security guard approached and lectured him for his negligence, explaining that the entire building and surrounding grounds were under constant surveillance. The postal worker thought about this, along with the fact that he already had to be buzzed in to deliver the mail, and began thinking that there was more to this place than met the eye.

Awhile later, he was out on his usual delivery run when he came by the foreboding building again. This time, he saw three men walking toward the building, except they didn’t appear to be like men. They waddled when they walked instead of putting one foot in front of the other, and they were abnormally thin—it was this thinness more than anything that frightened him.

Though shaken, he decided to soldier on and march his way up to the door to deliver the mail. When he entered, he found a group of men who began questioning him about what he had seen moments earlier. He was flabbergasted and unable to respond until one of the strange beings who he had seen earlier sidled up near him, at which point he felt even more terrified. After more grilling by the men in the room, and after repeating that he had seen nothing at all, he was allowed to leave. His mail route was changed shortly afterward.

The Man In Black Who Liked To Hang Out

In most stories, the men in black are malevolent, intimidating entities who only appear briefly after someone sees something they weren’t supposed to. But that’s not always the case. In one account, a woman claims that when she was a child her engineer father was regularly visited by a man in black who went simply by the name Lev. This man was completely bald, which she noted was very odd during her time. When she went to shake his hand, the skin was impossibly smooth, as if he had no hair whatsoever on his body.

The man constantly wore his trademark dark suit, glasses, and hat, even on scorching summer days. He was known for hanging around several engineers in the area, and her father always visited him in a little house near the local supermarket. The woman who tells the story says that she is sure her father knew Lev was an alien, although she never figured out what they talked about during their meetings.

An anonymous man related a tale of a strange experience he had while sightseeing in Washington, DC. Without realizing that there really wasn’t anything of interest for a civilian to see, he wandered into the State Department building. He meandered through the lobby for awhile until security became suspicious of him and headed over to usher him out of the building. However, before they could do so, he saw something that he would never forget.

The elevator opened and five men got out. Two of them were very businesslike and wore gray suits that were formal, but hardly remarkable beyond that. What drew his attention were the other three men in their escort. These men wore black hats pulled low over their eyes and long, black trench coats, even though it was the middle of the summer. The appearance seemed so strange that our observer could only describe it as “cartoonish.”

As they were walking by, one of the strange men lost his footing on the marble floor and fell to the ground, dropping his portfolio in the process. Upon helping him up, he noticed that the man’s legs seemed extraordinarily weak and it felt like there was a thick layer of wool underneath his suit. Even stranger, the man’s expression never appeared to change at all, despite falling onto the hard marble floor. Near the dropped portfolio, he found a small coin with words written in no language he could identify—one side depicted a man with features like a wolf and the other had navigational lines and two crescent moons.

Normally, the sneaky men who appear after UFO sightings are dressed all in black, but in one tale from Essex, England, they chose gray suits. William Shearer claimed to have seen a UFO, and a few days later two men showed up at his house. One of the men stayed by the car and maintained an intimidating presence while the other grilled Shearer about his experience. On this first visit, however, the man seemed more concerned with gaining permission to enter Shearer’s home than the answers Shearer was giving him.

The men spoke in a strange voice that seemed flat and expressionless and had extremely pale skin. This, along with the oddly intimidating behavior, was enough to scare Shearer and he chose not to let them into his house. Unfortunately for him, his experience was not yet at an end. The men ominously proclaimed that they would visit him again and, not long after, they turned up at his work. They made it clear that they wanted to talk about UFOs and once again asked permission to enter. When Shearer turned them down again, the men vanished and never returned—although Shearer believes that since then his phone has been tapped.

Loch Ness has always been a place of mystery and intrigue. Many people believe that the depths of the lake contain a primordial creature from the early days of the Earth and some have dedicated their lives to proving its existence. One man named Frederick Holiday was well known for being passionate about the study of cryptozoology and had spent years looking for evidence of creatures in the lake. Perhaps paranormal phenomena are more connected then we might have thought, because while out investigating the lake for the Loch Ness monster, Holiday had an experience that he would never forget.

Holiday looked up on a hill near the lake and spotted a strange man dressed in a black suit. While it wasn’t remarkable for people to sightsee along the lake, Holiday was struck by the fact that the man seemed to be looking directly at him. He was profoundly disturbed and reported feeling malevolence from the being that was staring him down. Before he could do anything, there was a bizarre noise and the man was gone as mysteriously as he had appeared. Just one year later, Holiday was back at the Loch for further studies when he had a heart attack—as he was being carried to the ambulance, he passed over the exact place where the strange man had been standing.

A professor of folklore named Peter Rojcewicz told of an experience that occurred one night in the college library while he was reading a book on UFOs that had been recommended to him by a colleague. He was just relaxing in a chair and reading his book when he noticed what appeared to be a leg and a shoe out of the corner of his eye. Before he knew it, there was a man sitting in a chair in front of him. The man immediately asked Rojcewicz about the book he was reading and questioned him on whether he had seen UFOs or was at all interested in the phenomenon.

When the professor stated that he wasn’t really that interested in the subject to begin with and was only reading the book to satisfy the suggestion of a colleague, the man became enraged and angrily asked him how he could not be interested in “the most important facts of the century.” Seemingly satisfied that the professor was not going to dig into the world of UFOs, the man left, but not before telling the professor to “go well on his purpose.” However, while it seems like this would be the end of it, it’s here that the story takes a turn for the extra creepy.

After the encounter, Rojcewicz got up to walk around the library. However, none of the librarians were anywhere to be seen. The same went for the guards and all the patrons. In fact, as far as he could tell, the library was completely deserted except for him. The professor returned to his chair in an attempt to gather his wits. In about an hour, according to the professor, he decided to get up and look around again—and this time he found that everything was as it should be.

The Stranded Photographer

Back in the 1960s, Jim Templeton took a photo of his daughter near Burgh Marsh, and before long it made big news. You might have heard of this photo as the Solway Firth Spaceman, which captures what looks like an unexplained figure in an astronaut outfit in the background. Stranger then the photo is the experience that Templeton had shortly after taking it. He was at work when a car arrived with two men who claimed to be working for the government. When asked, they refused to identify themselves beyond the codes #9 and #10. Even though their badges pointed to no specific government agency, Templeton agreed to get in the car with them and drive back to the Marsh to answer their questions.

The questions were pretty strange. Apart from the expected ones, like where it had happened and whether there were any other witnesses, they also wanted to know about the weather conditions and the behavior of the animals in the area. Templeton told the men that the domestic animals in the area had seemed scared on the day in question and had huddled together for protection.

It was after stating this that the men became much more hostile toward Templeton and started questioning the validity of his story. Of course, Templeton would not go to all this trouble simply to admit defeat, even if his story wasn’t entirely honest, and claimed that he was indeed telling the truth as far as he knew it. The men seemed to be unconvinced and headed back to their car. They drove off and simply left the baffled photographer in the dust to find his own way home.

500 Pages Of Australian Government UFO Files Unearthed

  By Paul Dean
ufos-documenting-the-evidence.blogspot.com
6-7-15

A question for my readers.. What Australian federal government agency, other than the three armed branches of Department of Defence (DOD), or, the three air safety and/or transport regulation outfits, would be maintaining over 500 pages of hardcopy files related to the UFOs, or as I like to often say, the UAP (Unusual Aerial Phenomenon) riddle?? If you guessed the CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) you’d be close, but I have tried them, and they drew a blank in their systems. If you guessed the Defence Intelligence Organisation (DIO), well, that would be lovely, but I have barely even started on them yet, so I know nothing of what they may have. If you guessed the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM), you’d be spot on; and I now have a bunch of information regarding their UFO files, in black-and-white, directly from their understaffed Freedom of Information (FOI) desk, as we shall see.


Firstly though, back in early 2013, when trawling through the National Archives of Australia (NAA) using the RecordSearch database, I came across a BOM file titled “Observations - General By Outside Authorities (Includes UFO)”. Its date range was listed as 1972-1981. Immediately, I had the NAA staff examine this material and release it to me in hard copy. Indeed, it contained reports from the general public, and other records, related to UAP. For anyone who wants to go over this file using the NAA’s system, file series is PP956/1 and the control symbol is 45/38. The barcode is 1854167. More on that later.

On the 17th January, 2015, I sent the BOM a very reasonable FOI request which
stated:

I wish to submit a subsequent request under the Freedom of Information Act. I am seeking to obtain any files or other materials held by the BOM regarding the topic of “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena” (UAP)and/or “ Unidentified Flying Objects” (UFOs). Specifically, I am looking for files containing:

1) Copies of enquiries from members of the general public to the BOM relating to UAP and/or UFOs;

2) Further BOM correspondence with the members of the public relating to the UAP and/or UFOs;

3) Copies of any previously and/or currently used standard templates or standard letters in such correspondence;

4) Internal BOM policies or guidelines for responding to Ministerial enquiries on the UAP and/or UFO topic;

5) Any files relating to the UAP and/or UFO matter itself, such as actual UAP and/or UFO case reports made to the BOM; studies or investigations related to UAP and/or UFOs; correspondence with other  , embassies, etc related to UAP and/or UFOs.

I also went on to say that their agency had maintained such files previously, and I
gave them actual details of such material, thus, potentially avoiding any  misunderstandings regarding exactly what I thought they may have in their archives. The BOM’s FOI officer, Erin MacLatchy, rang me a week after my initial request to firstly clarify exactly what I was looking for, and secondly, to explain to me that she was inundated with difficult requests of late and that my enquiry would take some time to process. Fair enough. On the 4th of March I finally received a formal reply letter, known as a “Notice of Charges”, which also contains a official determination regarding if they have actually found anything to furnish me with. In this material, the BOM stated, amongst other things:

“The Bureau has undertaken a range of searches for documents, and is now in the process of decision-making. I have decided that you are liable to pay a charge pursuant to section 29 of the FOI Act in respect of a request for access to the documents that fall within your request. A copy of this section is provided with this letter.”

So, this basically says that they found the sort of material I was asking for, and it is going to cost me a bit of money to have them released. That was the good news. Here is the bad news:

“My preliminary assessment of the charge is $1005.00. This is based on 27 hours of searching for the documents requested, and 30 hours fordecision-making beyond the first 5 hours of decision-making time (which have been excluded from this assessment).

Over $1000 dollars? Not happening. Not on my watch. On the 11th of March, I appealed this fee on the grounds that it was by far the most expensive charge that I had ever encountered from an Australian government agency, including the complex encounters I have had with the Department of Defence, and, also, that the UFO topic was of public interest, because, you know, if one of these things slams into a packed airliner one day, then I think the average man on the street would be fairly concerned.
Anyway, back comes the reply to my appeal on the 8th April 2015. In it, they clearly took my appeal efforts into account, however, those efforts resulted in merely this:

“Taking the above matters into account, I have decided to reduce the charges by 25 percent. Subject to my comments below, the total charge you are liable to pay is $753.75.”

I won’t detail what is involved in a second appeal, however, I will detail what was said on the phone when I rang the BOM FOI Desk officer two days later. The FOI staffer, Erin MacLatchy, explained to me that a hefty 500 pages of UFO-type files had been located, and the rest. She wasn’t able to say how many files made up this 500 pages worth of records exactly, or where they came from on a state-by-state basis, or the date ranges of found files, but, the mentioning of 500 pages was enough to put it all into perspective. See, if an FOI officer has to go through that much material to redact names, addresses, phone numbers, etc, and then color photocopy the whole lot, as well as handle administrative issues related to the FOI request, then, well, maybe a partially waived fee of $753.75 isn’t so unrealistic after all.
So, instead of jumping in and spending a fortune, or, at the other end of the spectrum, throwing the towel in and forgetting it all, I decided to re-review the currently released BOM file that we do happen to have available–The very file I got released from the National Archives of Australia over 2 years ago.

As mentioned above, the old 1972-1981 BOM file which I got released in 2013, titled “Observations - General By Outside Authorities (Includes UFO)”, is held now physically by the NAA and available to all to review. It contains 297 pages of general public generated reports of meteorological phenomena, reports of apparent astronomical phenomena, reports of UFO/UAP activity, and various pieces of interagency and intra-agency correspondence.

The UFO/UAP events include:

1. A Mr G. Neads of Kelmscott, WA, took a picture in New Zealand about 1979. In the picture were bright circles of light. The Bureau passed the photograph to RAAF Base Pearce.

2. On the 14th Mar 1979 the BOM sent a letter to a G Hume of UFO Research Group, Perth. It said that the photograph you forwarded “...does not appear to show any object which could be recognised as part of a balloon train... I am not able to offer any alternative meteorological explanation of the object in the photograph.” The associated letter from PUFORG dated 28 Feb 1979 stated that the object was photographed at Ceduna, SA in Dec 1977. The photo is unfortunately not on file.

3. One the 27th May 1978, in Kings Rocks, Hyden, WA, at 2050hrs, apparently a dull orange object, low on the eastern horizon travelling north to south. It was described as faster than an aircraft, but slower than a meteor. No sound was heard, and the duration 1.5 to 2 minutes. It moved from north-east to south-south-west, above the clouds, and had a long orange tail. Furthermore, 3 or 4 weeks before, at dusk, a similar object was seen travelling in the opposite direction in the eastern sky.

4. A 16 Dec, 1976; 1225WST; Kalgoorlie meteorological office. M. Winterbourne saw an object travelling north-east to south-west. It passed south of overhead. It was white in colour, glowing, fuzzy at the edges and slightly pulsating. The shape was like a rugby ball, with an angular size of about half a degree. The duration of the sighting was some 10-12 seconds. Also, when at about 50 degree elevation in the south-west it seemed to stop for five seconds then dissolved in the same spot. On the same day at 1330WST Winterbourne received a telephone call from Dave Bower at the Scotia Mine, near Kalgoorlie reporting a “Strange object in the sky which was hardly moving. He gave me the bearings, but I failed to locate it at that time.” The same day at 1445WST  - Winterbourne saw the same object as at 1225hrs. This one flashed across the sky from east to west. It was lost to sight as it diminished in angular size apparently due to distance. The duration of this event was stated as being, similar to the earlier sighting, 12 seconds.

So, if these cases about are some of the “best” reports in the currently available BOM file, what are the chances that the 500 or so pages of unavailable BOM records would contain anything significantly “better”? At a price-tag of $753.75, I have, at
least for the moment, decided to drop this one and spend my money on other various FOI requests that will be far more likely to yield more fruitful and usable results. Most likely, the currently unreleased, unsanitised 500 pages of BOM files would almost uniquely contain low level sightings and various unrelated reports of meteorological and astronomical oddities, just like the above BOM file at the NAA contains. Certainly, if anyone wishes to contribute to getting this bunch of unknown records released I would be open to sharing the cost I think; or, better still, a whole bunch of us could chip in and share the material. The other option is to merely bide time until the BOM records management area simply box up the files and truck them to the NAA for cataloguing and storage. It would be then that we should have the material released for all to see.

Strange Lights Observed Over The Ocean On New Jersey

(Before It's News)

STRANGE LIGHTS OBSERVED OVER THE OCEAN IN NEW JERSEY
JUNE 1, 2015 …….VENTNOR NEW JERSEY

 While driving north on Ventnor ave. in Ventnor NJ,  I notice what seemed like a quick flash of light traveling west to east above me. I didn’t think much of it. Within approx. 30 seconds there appeared to be what I thought was a large hazy search light moving in the sky but it seemed to be coming from above the clouds rather than from the ground.  Within a couple more seconds a second similar light appeared and they would seem to meet each other and then bounce off each other. They did this a few time and then other lights joined in. At first just a third joined in and then more seemed to join in just seemingly to move randomly in the sky. this lasted about a min. Finally approx. 4 or 5 of these lights rapidly came in from the south east, which is from the ocean, in a straight line, seemed to reach a certain point and then changed direction flying back over the ocean. One light remained in the sky where these lights seemed to bounce off of and then just disappeared into thin air. My first reaction was some sort of search light until all of the formations and zooming and bouncing off each other. I turned down my street, parked the car rapidly walked toward the ocean searching the sky, there was nothing there. I thought I would see police or other people searching the sky there was no on out as it was a dreary rainy night. I went home and surly thought there would be an explanation on the news, I found none.

Space X rocket captures its cloudy trail in the distance (Video)

(Before It's News)

 

 

 

Date of sighting: June 5, 2015
Location of sighting: Earths orbit

The contrail of the rocket was caught in this video at 1:30-1:32 and shows a curly trail leaving Earth and going into orbit. I assume its the Space X rocket, but could also be some other craft leaving the planet. The trail should be straight, but the pig tail curl of it, is very confusing. I’m not sure, but I don’t believe typical rockets leave a curve like that. Tell me your thoughts on it. SCW

Space X states:
A GoPro inside a fairing from a recent Falcon 9 flight captured some spectacular views as it fell back to Earth. Footage is played in real time.

17 Mysteries Awaiting Explanation

(Before It's News)

On August 7th 1999, London police received more than 36 reports of a gigantic sea serpent in the Thames.  It was “at least 200 ft long and 5 yards across,” said one panicky witness. Despite all the sightings, no one managed to get a picture—or so it was thought. That day photographer John Collins was taking aerial photos of London from a private plane. He didn’t notice the object at the lower right until he examined the photo later.

Stone sculpture depicting a Vimana,  flying machines in ancient India (1200 b.c.),  Many Sanskrit epics, which were written in India more than two millennia ago, contain references to mythical flying machines called vimanas. Pointing to similarities between descriptions of vimanas and reports by people who claim to have seen UFOs, ancient alien theorists have suggested that astronauts from other planets visited India during ancient times.

And inside the big cup it is very, very magnetic and outside the cup nearly nothing. Professional geologists are saying this is impossible because if a stone has metal particles inside the stone, it must be same magnetic from both sides.

The Invasion of Earth – Alien Abduction – Never On Mainstream Media

(Before It's News)

“IT starts of slow, but do be prepared, sonic booms may be heard as the video progresses. Very little CGi in this video. The emphasis on this video is the war between an alien race, and the human race. See if you can notice any similarities in what the people are talking about, their credentials and status, before you go jumping to any conclusions. A war with aliens? What do you think? The information in this video seems to imply something very strange is going on all around us. Did you that there is an actual debate between ‘refraining to tell the public about some / certain discoveries of science,’ and telling them everything? What do you think? Need proof there is water on mars? Is so, watch this video, and realize that where there is water? There is life. On the topic of aliens. Life, on earth, was seeded from the debris of comets that flew passed earth.”

“If this is so, then there are highly organic compounds in comets (which they say are made up of water), and space. Going by the general census of evolution, it’d be safe to assume, that alien bacteria, and alien virus’s, from space, are falling down to the surface of earth ‘all the time.’ If there are alien virus’s and alien bacteria falling to the earth, and comets spawning life throughout the cosmos? Aliens are a most definite. Aliens are coming! Are you prepared?”

“I know it sounds crazy! Or are the demons? You be the judge. Exploring the ‘what if’ often gets one to the real answers. Explore. Is earth being invaded? Watch this video, and come to your own conclusions as, more often than not, the evidence is looking people in the face, and they don’t see it. When we realize ‘the aliens are there,’ above and below, do they press a reset button? Has humanity been on earth, and at the exact same point we are at now, before? The looping effect comes to mind. Step out of the box, explore knowledge.” Discovery Science

Earth’s Alien Hybrid Race Of Fallen Angels

(Before It's News)

How is it possible to have so many different races and ethnicities if we all allegedly came from Adam and Eve? How is it conceivable to have 4 different blood types (A, B, AB, and O) along with 2 different Rh values (positive and negative) from two people of origin? Even if you look at Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, there wasn’t enough time for genetic mutation or evolution of the species to create such different diversity amongst our population.

According to Zecharia Sitchin’s work deciphering the Sumerian texts, our DNA was manipulated by the Anunnaki in order to create a slave race that would mine gold for them and their home planet, Nibiru. This is a very feasible proposition because it explains the importance of gold on our planet along with how we’ve been economic slaves for millennia, but it doesn’t explain why the Anunnaki would create a number of different races instead of one master slave race.

The second possibility is that we were seeded here by various star nations as part of a galactic experiment. In this scenario, race, ethinicity, blood type(s) and rh values are easily explained. It might also explain why there are so many different languages.

Iedere keer dezelfde UFO boven België ( Video )

Er doet zich in België een vreemd fenomeen voor en dat is een oranje UFO die al enkele jaren lang regelmatig op dezelfde plaats verschijnt.

Het voorval vindt iedere keer plaats in een dorpje in het Franstalig deel van het land, in de buurt van Charleroi.


Een met enige regelmaat terugkerende UFO of oranje licht als je het zo wilt noemen, is natuurlijk toch wel iets bijzonders.

Zo hebben we hier een video uit augustus 2014 waar het fenomeen zich voordoet in het plaatsje Gouy-Lez-Piéton.



Er wordt hier bij deze video onder andere gereageerd door een dame die zegt dat dit niet de eerste keer is dat jaar dat de maker van dit filmpje erin slaagt om een UFO te filmen boven een klein Belgisch dorp en dat hij of in een UFO hotspot woont of goed is in het editen van video’s.

De maker ontkent in alle toonaarden dat hij de video’s gemanipuleerd zou hebben en zegt dat hij iedere dag filmt vanuit het raam van zijn kantoor en dat ook wanneer hij bijvoorbeeld in de tuin is, hij een camera bij de hand heeft. Ook wordt hij veel door vrienden gewaarschuwd als er zich iets vreemds in de lucht voordoet.

Nadeel voor de man is dat hij minimaal één keer door ons is betrapt bij de rapportage over een UFO waarneming, waarbij het niet zo nauw nam met de waarheid, om het zachtjes uit te drukken. Dat kan een vergissing geweest zijn en wil niet zeggen dat al zijn berichten daardoor niet waar zijn, maar voorzichtigheid is geboden.

Wat wel weer interessant is, is dat het plaatsje Gouy-Lez-Piéton misschien wel degelijk een UFO hotspot zou kunnen zijn want ook in 2013 werd daar al door deze zelfde maker een vreemd object waargenomen in de lucht.

Een fel verlicht onbekend object, vastgelegd boven Gouy-Lez-Piétons op 19 mei 2013:



Nu, afgelopen vrijdag, verscheen de meest recente in een serie oranje bollen/UFO’s boven het Belgische plaatsje Gouy-Lez-Piéton.



Hebben we hier nu te maken met echte UFO’s of is iemand al jarenlang bezig de UFO-gemeenschap op een dwaalspoor te zetten met nepvideo’s. We zouden graag horen van mensen die de professionele kennis hebben om te kunnen beoordelen of we hier met echte opnames te maken hebben of met fakes.

Zelf bezitten wij helaas niet die kunde en gaan vaak af op gevoel, maar omdat het hier gaat over een periode van jaren is het wel belangrijk om zeker te weten of de opnames echt zijn of niet.

Skywatch & Summoning UFO video from San Diego, California 24-May-2015

Here is the footage by the skywatcher from San Diego, California on May 24, 2015. Many were in attendance to witness an incredible display of UFOs making contact in the skies above our group. At 13:18 in the video you’ll see a massive light pulse sent out from the UFO ship confirming connection with them while the folk signaled the lasers towards their craft.

{ http://www.latest-ufo-sightings.net/  }  

Where are all the aliens? why we haven't made contact with other civilisations despite the size of the universe ?

There are billions of galaxies in the observable universe, each with up to a trillion stars, meaning there are likely trillions and trillions of habitable planets in the cosmos. But, if such worlds are so abundant, and life on Earth has been able to thrive, then why have we not found any aliens yet?

Humanity has rapidly advanced in the last 100 years, but this is considered 'a blink of an eye' in history of the 13.82-billion-year-old universe. 

So it’s not inconceivable to think we might start visiting other stars in the future.

But it seems unlikely that we would be the first civilisation to reach this stage, so surely we should have heard from someone by now?

This has led people to suggest that true interstellar travel may be impossible or, more dauntingly, perhaps no civilisation can last long enough to make contact.

In a video created by YouTube channel Kurz Gesagt, they take a look at some of the factors that might have prevented us from making contact so far.

The first - and perhaps biggest - obstacle is space travel itself, which is extremely difficult, based on our current knowledge.

To colonise another planet with our current technologies, ‘a journey of maybe thousands of years needs to be survived by a population big enough to start from a scratch,' the narrator in the video explained.

Even if we could travel close to the speed of light, something inconceivable to us right now, it would take 100,000 years to cross the Milky Way.

So perhaps visiting another planet is out of the question.

It may also be a chance of cosmic circumstance that we have not yet made contact.

‘The universe is very old,’ the narrator in the video explained.

‘On Earth there's been life for at least 3.6 billion years. Intelligent human life for about 250,000 years.’

‘But only for about a century have we had the technology to communicate over great distances.

‘There might have been grand alien empires that stretched across thousands of systems and existed for millions of years, and we might just have missed them.’

Another problem could be that, even if there are other alien civilisations alive right now, it might just be that our methods of communication are too primitive at the moment.

‘Imagine sitting in a house with a morse code transmitter, you'd keep sending messages but nobody would answer, and you would feel pretty lonely,' said the narrator.

‘Maybe we're still undetectable for intelligent species.’

Another interesting concept is the idea of a Matrioshka Brain.

This would essentially be a virtual reality within which a species that had no desire to progress further could live in paradise for eternity - not unlike The Matrix, although slightly less dystopian.

 

We have been searching in earnest for planets outside the solar system for decades using telescopes like Kepler (illustrated) but, so far, no sign of life has been found. In addition, we have been sending our own signals out for more than a century but, again, no one seems to have taken notice

One theory for an advanced alien race is that they might harness the power of an entire star, known as a Dyson Sphere (illustrated). However, if such a structure existed, it is theorised that we would be able to detect its infrared signature - but a recent study found no such evidence

A giant structure containing the collective consciousness of the species inside this virtual reality would harness the power of a star.

‘If built around a red dwarf [star], this computer could be powered for up to ten trillion years,’ said the narrator.

‘Who would want to conquer the galaxy or make contact with other life forms if this were an option?’ 

It has been theorised that such a structure - sometimes called a Dyson Sphere - would be noticeable if it did exist, owing to the huge amounts of infrared radiation it would give off.

But a study by Penn State University in Pennsylvania to find one of these structures in 100,000 galaxies proved unsuccessful, although further attempts are likely to be made.

‘All these solutions to the Fermi Paradox have one problem,’ said the narrator.

‘We don't know where the borders of technology are. We could be close to the limit or nowhere near it.

‘And super technology awaits us, granting us immortality, transporting us to other galaxies, elevating us to the level of gods.

‘One thing we do have to acknowledge is that we really don't know anything.’

We have now found planets beyond the solar system that could possibly support life, such as Kepler-186f (illustrated), but the chances of visiting one of these planets at the moment with our current forms of propulsion is out of the question - and perhaps true interstellar travel is simply not possible

The video concludes by saying that, although we might be ‘embryos’ on a galactic time scale, the only way to find out our true place in the universe, and discover if we are alone, is to continue our search, the advancement of our species and, ultimately, the colonisation of other worlds.

It could even be that we are, in fact, the most advanced race in the universe.

If that is the case, then many experts have argued that we must do all we can to survive and preserve perhaps the most important discovery we’ve made so far: life itself, namely, us.

The secrets of night-shining clouds

Noctilucent clouds, Estonia. Image credit: Martin Koitmä.

People at high latitudes are seeing glowing clouds in a dark night sky.  They’re called noctilucent or “night-shining” clouds.

Glowing silver-blue clouds – called noctilucent or night shining clouds – sometimes light up summer night skies.  They’re seen at high latitudes – say, about 45 degrees N. or S. – from May through August in the Northern Hemisphere and from November through February in the Southern Hemisphere. In 2015, the northern noctilucent cloud season has already begun.  We’ve received some photos (below), and NASA’s AIM spacecraft has also detected these clouds drifting across the Arctic Circle. NASA said the first clouds appeared on May 19, 2015, a bit earlier than researchers expected. Follow the links below to learn more about this beautiful, seasonal phenomenon.

What are notilucent clouds?

What does the science say?

How can I see notilucent clouds?

EarthSky Facebook friend Sandor Botor in Sweden captured notilucent clouds on June 1, 2015.  Thank you, Sandor!

Jörgen Norrland Andersson in Sweden posted this photo at EarthSky Facebook, also from June 1, 2015.

What are notilucent clouds?  Noctilucent clouds form in the highest reaches of the atmosphere – the mesosphere – as much as 50 miles (80 km) above the Earth’s surface.  They’re are thought to be made of ice crystals that form on fine dust particles from meteors.  They can only form when temperatures are incredibly low and when there’s water available to form ice crystals.

Why do these clouds – which require such cold temperatures – form in the summer? It’s because of the dynamics of the atmosphere. You actually get the coldest temperatures of the year near the poles in summer at that height in the mesosphere. 

Here’s how it works: during summer, air close to the ground gets heated and rises. Since atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, the rising air expands. When the air expands, it also cools down. This, along with other processes in the upper atmosphere, drives the air even higher causing it to cool even more. As a result, temperatures in the mesosphere can plunge to as low as -210°F (-134°C).

In the Northern Hemisphere, the mesosphere often reaches these temperatures by mid-May, in most years.  

Since the clouds are so sensitive to the atmospheric temperatures, they can act as a proxy for information about the wind circulation that causes these temperatures. They can tell scientists that the circulation exists first of all, and tell us something about the strength of the circulation.

What does the science say?  Scientists studying these clouds have included those from NASA’s AIM (Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere) satellite.  This satellite, launched in 2007, has observed noctilucent clouds using several onboard instruments to collect information such as temperature, atmospheric gases, ice crystal size, changes in the clouds, as well as the amount of meteoric space dust that enters the atmosphere.

Scientists have used data from this satellite to study the details of how noctilucent are formed and why they change over time.  In 2014, they announced they had discovered unexpected teleconnections in noctilucent clouds.  For example, Cora Randall, AIM science team member, said in April 2014:

… we have found that the winter air temperature in Indianapolis, Indiana, is well correlated with the frequency of noctilucent clouds over Antarctica.

The video below has more about the teleconnections in noctilucent clouds.

When the sun is below the ground horizon but visible from the high altitude of noctilucent clouds, sunlight illuminates these clouds, causing them to glow in the dark night sky.  Illustration via NASA.

How can I see notilucent clouds?  If you want to see the clouds, what steps should you take?  Remember, you have to be at a relatively high latitude on Earth to see them: between about 45° and 60° North or South latitude. 

For best results, look for these clouds from about May through August in the Northern Hemisphere, and from November through February in the Southern Hemisphere. 

Noctilucent clouds are primarily visible when the sun is just below the horizon, say, from about 90 minutes to about two hours after sunset or before sunrise.  At such times, when the sun is below the ground horizon but visible from the high altitude of noctilucent clouds, sunlight illuminates these clouds, causing them to glow in the dark night sky.

Noctilucent clouds can be seen from space, too.  Astronauts in the International Space Station (ISS) took this photo on January 5, 2013, when ISS was over the Pacific Ocean south of French Polynesia. Below the brightly-lit noctilucent clouds, across the center of the image, the pale orange band is the stratosphere. Image via NASA

Bottom line:  Noctilucent or night-shining clouds form in the highest reaches of the atmosphere – the mesosphere – as much as 50 miles (80 km) above the Earth’s surface. They’re seen during summer in polar regions.

MAP: The surprising places where Americans are running into UFOs

On March 13, 1997, near Phoenix, five — or maybe seven — bright lights appeared in the night sky in a "V" formation, like a strange flock of birds. Local news outlets were flooded with reports of what is now known as the Phoenix Lights, one of the more tantalizing "mass sightings" in the past few decades for those who Want To Believe.

Sixty-four people reported the lights to the National UFO Reporting Center.

"My wife and I were walking our dogs on the south side of South Mountain in the mountain park when we saw the ufo come over the mountain at low altitude," one account reads. "It was s i l e n t and had 5 white globes along the leading edge of a black triangle shaped object which blacked out the stars and was about a mile wide."

But there's another way to see the Phoenix Lights: According to a new map plotting more than 90,000 sightings from the National UFO Reporting Center's database, it's one of the most widely reported sightings of the past several decades.

The interactive map, from Max Galka, plots each distinct sighting in the database with green and blue circles. Blue circles represent sightings reported by just one witness; green circles mean there are multiple accounts of the same event. The bigger the green circle, the more reported sightings there are of that particular event.

The map looks like this:

Who knew the Chicago area was such a hotbed of UFO activity? Six of the 10 biggest UFO sightings on the map, as ranked by number of witnesses, were in Illinois, Galka noted in an analysis.

The biggest was the Tinley Park Lights. UFO enthusiasts might know about them, but the Tinley Park sightings don't even have their own Wikipedia page.

The mass sighting in Phoenix is represented by that huge green dot in the southwest. In the interactive version, available here, the green dots are clickable. The map will then pull up all of the witness accounts that are available, along with any photo or video "evidence" of aliens among us.

The database goes back nearly a century, Galka told The Washington Post, but the further back you go, the less complete it is. The National UFO Reporting Center started collecting first-person accounts about 20 years ago and accepts reports pertaining to any date in history. The data from recent years is much more robust, as witnesses can report what they saw shortly after it happened.

"That's true by number of reports per capita," Galka told The Post in an interview.

According to another analysis of UFO sightings, Vermont, Arizona, and Maine have the most per capita of all the U.S. states.

"But it turns out that the important sightings, the ones that have some credibility behind them, are in dense areas," Galka said.

By "credible," Galka doesn't mean confirmed sightings of aliens. Instead, viewing America's UFO sightings by number of witnesses, "credible" simply means that witnesses were likely responding to some actual event, which they interpreted as a UFO.

"Everyone hears 'UFO' and they think urban legends, like bigfoot," Galka said. "But when you have these big sightings that were seen by thousands of people, you can debate what's up there, but that's not urban legend, that's just a mystery."

As the Phoenix Lights demonstrates, that mystery can linger even after a reasonable explanation. Lt. Col. Ed Jones, a pilot at the time with the Air National Guard, said that he was part of a small squadron of A-10s flying over the area that evening. The lights, he said, were flares that he and the other pilots released from their planes.

Galka noticed another interesting detail that might help explain some of the other mysterious sightings: Americans have a tendency to see quite a lot more UFOs in the sky right around the Fourth of July, when towns across the country plan fireworks shows.

Sightings of UFOs in the United States

California Lights

Weed — I couldn’t sleep due to my illness on May 23, 2015, and heard dogs whine and a weird noise, so I got my phone which is also my night light. I looked out the window and saw the erratic behavior of a flying object. It was not real bright but lasted 3 to 4 minutes maneuvering in the sky. I felt a rush like I was on good drugs and it turned out I had lost 20 minutes. I had like a burn on my left wrist. I have a brain tumor and after the missing time, the next three days were pain free. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Chesapeake Bay Disc

 I was fishing in the Chesapeake Bay on May 24, 2015, and I looked up for a moment because a very loud boat just went by. As I looked up the clouds were beautiful, and saw a black object in the sky. I was out for a very fishing from 3:30 PM to 8:45 PM with my family. At the end of our trip, I looked at the sunset, and that same black dot was still sitting there in the distance. No helicopter or blimp would stay in the same spot for 5 hours. I started taking pictures and the dot was still just sitting there. On the way home, we go over a highly elevated bridge, and looked west where it had been all day. I saw a flash of yellow light, and the object was gone. I have always believed in aliens and seen a UFO other times. The enhanced image was a UFO. Thanks to William Puckett, Director UFOsnw

Delaware Disc

Dover — I was watching a NASCAR race and during the National Anthem a white round object flew down in the sky on May 31, 2015. It then flew up and away behind a cloud as I videotaped it around noon.

The cameraman must have noticed it also and made a point to tape it.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Florida Light

Naples –- On May 2, 2015, seven craft were seen flying in formation and stopped traffic on I-75. The flight flying at an altitude of 2000 feet just over the beach with several possible witnesses? I need confirmation and possible location of video to review. A dialog is in progress and confirmation is needed for verification of the dialog. Thanks to Cyrellys G. Manticore Group/Compass Morainn

West Palm Beach — I was taking a walk with my dog at Okeeheelee Park like we do every day and looked up at 11:49 AM, and saw this huge object on May 29, 2015. It was over Okeeheelee Golf Course east of me. I was thinking this was a huge strange kite or blimp? The dull grey object had a cigar shape with a dome/bump on the top with a row of windows on the side. It hovered silently 500 feet away and was silent camouflaged with clouds around it. My dog became upset with his tail curled up under him, and he pulled away as I tried unsuccessfully to capture a picture. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Illinois Light

Springfield — I was about 15 miles from where I live on May 28, 2015, and came out of a store with my husband and saw my visitor was in the sky. This light is now following us home.

I was so excited last night around midnight. My son his girlfriend and I were on the front porch. I had just sat down from checking out the visitors and my son’s girlfriend kept staring in the sky. She said you didn’t bring your phone out here. She said look at your visitor. He was hovering over the field across the street from my house. I grabbed my phone and ran to the end of driveway stepping in mud puddles to get this recorded. We watched it for three minutes before it disappeared. Thanks to Pamela

Kansas Disc

Oak Hill — I was taking pictures of lightning during a storm with my cell phone on May 28, 2015. After viewing the pictures I came across this picture that clearly has an object in it.

I did not see anything with my eyes nor did I hear anything outside other than the thunder and light rain. I was sitting in the open doorway with no obstructions in front of me.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Kentucky Disc

My daughter was riding her horse at the barn in our neighborhood on May 27, 2015. The fast moving UFO was spotted in the background of the video that was taken. It moves extremely fast in the background that you can barely notice it. In slow motion it is definitely much easier to see.

The black object was disc like. Once we blew the picture up it appeared to have a dome shape. There was no resemblance to an airplane or helicopter.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Louisiana Lights

New Orleans — I was outside looking at stars with my video camera with its amazing zoom function, while looking for stars these lights caught my attention on May 30. 2015, and I couldn’t believe what was happening. The sounds were amazing and it got a little eerie once it beamed light toward me and a sound frequency I’ll never forget. Afterwards I can occasionally still hear the frequency and humming sound.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Michigan Cylinder

Clinton Township — On May 27, 2015 looking northwest into Macomb Township, I was taking pictures of a severe wall cloud storm with my Nikon D3100 camera and a funnel cloud at 3:35 pm. After the storm I looked at the pictures and found this white pencil or tube shaped craft. It was directly under the advancing wall cloud. The next picture of this object was harder to spot, but I found it in the top, right hand side. It flew east with this storm. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Mississippi Orb

Brandon — The witness called and reported his May 14, 2015, sighting at 9:16 PM. The witness was outside “messing” with his boat and saw the object in the sky. The witness grabbed his cell phone and began videoing the object. Four other family members also witnessed the sighting. The object showed various blue, red and green lights and moved erratically and appeared to change shapes. The object was seen over Ross Barnett Reservoir and descended behind the trees. Thanks to William Puckett, Director UFOsnw

Missouri Eyeball

Highway I-72 — We were just taking pictures of unusual clouds on May 24, 2015, and afterwards noticed a square object ejecting out of clouds.

Then we noticed what looks like a giant transparent eyeball. I just thought it was unusual and may interest you. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Hampshire Giant Sphere

Whitefield — I have trail cam set up about 55 feet from my home taking photos. When I looked at my pictures taken on May 28, 2015, I saw this giant sphere above my oil tank. We have 10 pictures all within one minute of the object taken by the A trail cam. I will send some of the pictures.

Please let me know what it is. I had the trail cam in the same place for the past month this is the first time seeing this. And it cannot be a reflection from anything due to there is nothing around but trees. Thanks to MUFON CMS

 New York Orbs

New York — The photo I’m sending you was taken on May 11, 2014, from a cruise boat sailing to the north on the Hudson River west of Manhattan. The photo was taken in a north-east direction towards Central Park.

When you do enlarge the photo, you will notice little white flatted dots in the sky above the buildings on the photo. They appeared out of the blue, forming a sort of stretched circles from the south to the north. Every circle consisted of about 11 dots. Being bright at first they slowly faded afterwards. Somewhat later we saw seven Chinook helicopters flying to the north. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Oregon Orbs

Forest Grove — I was driving in the plains of Forest Grove with a friend and about 8 pm on September 19, 2014, my friend spots a big bright circular light in the sky. It was stationary a little bit above the horizon. We watch as it splits into three orbs, all the same size and shape. They make a triangle, one on bottom and the other two split on top. During the next 5 minutes, it split from 4 orbs into 6 hovering orbs until we drove out of view about 8 minutes later. Thanks to MUFON CMS

 Pennsylvania Triangle

Erie — I had just concluded an evening of fishing on Misery Bay on May 8, 2015. As I approached Perry’s Monument Bridge at 8:25 pm, I looked south and noticed a bright light near the monument up in the air. The light was flying closer and getting much brighter. Other people around the monument area seemed oblivious to the entire event. I crossed the bridge and was trying to watch this thing. It flew directly over me and slowed down and changed direction as if it noticed me.  I pulled my truck into the parking area near Perry’s Monument and stopped as it hovered over the road.  The craft was triangular in shape, solid, with a bright glowing orange surface like steel heated in a blast furnace. I actually felt fear as I did not know what would happen next. The craft then flew north and then west. I attempted to follow it in my vehicle but I ran out of road NOTE: The above image is a rendering. Thanks to Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ worldUFOphotos

Tennessee Crop Circle

Maryville – On May 24, 2015: Sighting in private valley in foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains near, during pig roast at around 1:30AM. At the fire pit with 4 other friends listening to acoustic music, I was surprised when a bright light lit up the area, at first wondering why a car was coming up the hill driveway with bright lights on. But I immediately realized it wasn’t a car because of no noise and the light was too bright. I turned around to my friends who were exclaiming, “What was that?” A flat object flew over the small valley, and created a bright blue-white light flash illumination with no sound that my friends clearly saw. We all saw the brilliant blue-white light flash lighting up the valley.

Several days after our incident, a new crop circle was discovered in Gray, TN which is 123 miles from Maryville. This is the second crop circle to be formed in the same field location: first one discovered May 13, 2013. I attached the crop circle photos to this report. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Texas Light

Schertz – On May 31, 2015, these images submitted were captured on my iPhone/iPad off an app called “Weather Bug” that gives details of the weather for various locations depending on what zip code you put in. Sometimes when I can’t sleep, I open up weather bug and look at the “Live camera feeds”. Depending on what your location is, they have camera feeds from all over the area. Sometimes, I see some pretty strange things so I take a snapshot of my screen. Since it is on my iPhone, the images are tiny and distorted. This is from May 30th, 2015, around 1 AM. It might be a plane but the weather has been really bad, so I doubt it was a plane. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Front Royal — Upon leaving a wedding reception at the Holiday Inn Express I took a picture of the sunset on May 30. 2015.

I later reviewed the pictures and saw what appeared to be a UFO. Therefore, I am submitting this report. I have been watching for UFO’s for years.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Goodview — I don’t have the time at the moment to complete this. I saw an obvious type of intellectual aircraft fully controlled by something on June 1, 2015. I will probably never think about life the same way again it was completely mind blowing. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Worldwide UFO Reports

Australia Orange Sphere

Brockman – I observed it descend from sky on May 6, 2015, with a bright orange glow. It hovered over at altitude and made zigzag movements. It sometimes disappeared but it would reappear within 1-2 seconds. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director UFOCenter

Canada Lights

Burlington — On May 28th 2015 at 11:20 PM sitting on our porch we saw a huge bright orange light rising from behind the tree. It lit up and looked like a floating sun. We thought maybe it was a plane on fire or an asteroid, but as it came closer to us it slowed down and started to lower and hovered above our house for 6 minutes. It was absolutely enormous (200 to 300 feet) and dead silent. We were frozen looking at the red, orange, and yellow flames shooting all around. The pulsating light it emitted was like a small sun hovering between 500 to 1000 feet above us. The back of it was a light black diamond shape with lights on the side. It started to ascend quickly and took off with speed. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Scarborough — On May 6, 2015, I came outside from work into our parking lot for a break at 3:03 PM. The sky was quite clear along with some jet trails. After a couple minutes I noticed a strange glinting light less than a mile away whose movements were jerky. The object flew at 200 feet or less and was shape shifting? As I photographed, I yelled to two coworkers, “Look a UFO.” The object was moving slowly northwest – less than 100 MPH, One looks like a spaceship! Thanks to Paul Shishis Video

Dominican Republic

Santo Domingo – I was at the front yard of my house on May 24, 2015, relaxing after sunset at 7:12 PM, when I saw in the sky a dark and solid flying object with spherical shape passing in SE direction over my neighborhood. I also saw Venus and Jupiter that were much smaller. I called my wife and children and I showed them the solid or metallic flying object. The craft was a sphere about 7 meters (25 feet) in diameter, black in color with soft shades of gray and with a solid texture. The speed was approximately 300 km/hour. The aircraft didn’t have propellers, external engines, windows or extensions below. The flight was at about 500 feet, silent, and without navigation lights. I feel shocked because of this UFO experience. I’m a civil engineer with master degree and I am a professional trained in mathematical and physical sciences. I called the “Aeropuerto Internacional de Las Americas” and radio station Z101 to report the event. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Finland Oval

Laukaa – On May 29, 2015, It rose up from a far away beach, hovered a bit and then disappeared Duration for 12 seconds. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director UFOCenter

Italy Orbs

Rome — My wife saw and pointed at the object a possible drone, but then I saw the orbs nearby it. In the beginning the orbs just followed it, but then some of them disappeared. They looked like they moved with the wind, but the big object hovered and the orbs in the beginning followed it, and some disappeared. I left the balcony for a few minutes and when I came back it was gone. I don’t think this is a drone. There was something attached to the big object, from time to time as it disappeared or become invisible. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Netherlands Camera Catches Unusual UFO

Onlanden — On May 19, 2015 a Dutchman was taking photos after a rain storm of “hauntingly beautiful skies and suddenly something flashed he reported on his blog. “At first I thought my device, but the flitskap was not up. There was not a drop on my lens. I decided it must have been a lightning. But at home I see something strange in one of the photos that I made at the end of the lane of trees.”

The Dutchman’s original photo of the UFO is on the left. The photo on the right zeroes in on the object. The red marker on the map points to Onlanden, Netherlands. Sky Ships Over Cashiers

Peru Lights

San Isidro — I came out of the house and saw three green cylinder like lights in a diagonal position then another white shaped sphere that drifted east across the sky on January 11, 2015. I went back in the house and grabbed my cell phone and took pictures and video of them. They moved like they lights attached to a kite. The white light drifted west and then east. My friend, and my wife and I focused on three green lights.

St. Lucia Light

Castries — My Mom had been talking about the strange light behind our house but we never took her seriously until May 28, 2015 when there was no water in the tap. She went to shower in a drum that’s behind the house and asked me to come with her. While she is showering my phone screen made a strange color and went blank. I looked up at this bright white light was hovering over a cherry tree in front me. I walked towards the light that got really bright and I couldn’t see anything. I heard my mom scream, “That’s the light I see, do you see I was not lying?” The light lurched toward her and two smaller brighter lights came from behind the tree. I have never seen anything move so fast and shine so bright. They still come around after 10 PM, but my Mom doesn’t want us to try and catch them. They shoot back up into the sky super fast.

Thailand Sightings

Nakhon Si Thammarat Province — I am in southern Thailand in on the Pacific side of the isthmus in a remote village in a remote area without electric or water. We have no traffic lights, and most folks are lights out at sunset so light pollution here is non-existent. What we see here is two general types of sightings that are always to the east over the Pacific. We are only 2 km from the coast. The first UFO we spotted, and see on numerous occasions is a small light circling another larger light and both would travel a short distance then simply disappear. Later, either those lights or maybe a different pair would reappear in a different location. The next one we see is two lights that chase each other, one light will move just a short distance and another light will chase it. I am a Retired Navy Chief with 21 years of service and have been living in Thailand for the last 9 years. My wife is a former Thai) school teacher with a Bachelors degree in psychology.

UK/England Lights

I saw a bright light in the sky, and took a zoomed in picture, and saw what I knew was nothing like what flies in the sky on April 27. 2015. It looked like a kind of shuttle craft. I had my phone out ready before I caught sight of the craft.

Over the last two years there seems to be allot more things in the sky that aren’t planes. I hope to hear back at what this could be as I’m really interested to know what this could be.

Have been digging through the giant DVD you sent recently. As a relatively recent joiner, I was unaware of the years’ worth of consistent reports of the same types of objects all over. This has been very educational. Just wanted to thank you for all you’ve done.
