Topgeheime foto’s uit 1971 tonen ‘enorme UFO’s’ boven noordpoolgebied

Op internet wordt druk gespeculeerd over een aantal ‘gelekte’ UFO-beelden uit 1971. De foto’s zouden zijn gemaakt vanaf de onderzeeër USS Trepang, die op weg was van IJsland naar het eiland Jan Mayen.

Volgens sommigen zijn de foto’s bewijs voor geheime tests met vliegtuigen, terwijl anderen claimen dat het gaat om buitenaardse schepen die op zoek waren naar olie. De beelden zijn bestudeerd door Alex Mistretta, nadat ze in een Frans paranormaal tijdschrift waren verschenen, meldt de Black Vault.

Mistretta zei dat hij te horen had gekregen dat de foto’s zijn gemaakt vanaf een Amerikaanse onderzeeër die werd bestuurd door admiraal Dean Reynolds. Deze informatie lijkt te kloppen. Op één van de foto’s staat de tekst: ‘Officiële foto. Wordt niet vrijgegeven. CT’.

Reageerder Bill Smillie suggereerde dat alle foto’s hetzelfde object tonen en dat het in staat is om van vorm te veranderen. Schrijver Nigel Watson zei over de beelden: “Dit is een vreemde verzameling foto’s waarop UFO’s zijn te zien die regelmatig worden waargenomen door getuigen van over de hele wereld. Sigaarvormige objecten worden al sinds 1896 gemeld, toen er overal in de VS ‘spookluchtschepen’ werden gespot.”

“Ik weet niet of ze authentiek zijn,” zei Watson. “Ze hebben er wel toe geleid dat UFO-onderzoekers momenteel speculeren dat UFO’s een basis hebben in het poolgebied.”

“Het universum zit vol met gigantische verborgen zwarte gaten”

Röntgentelescoop NuSTAR van NASA heeft onlangs een aantal gigantische zwarte gaten ontdekt. Voorheen waren die aan het zicht onttrokken door stof en gassen.

Volgens wetenschappers van de Universiteit van Durham in Engeland zijn er miljoenen meer ‘superzware’ zwarte gaten in het universum dan eerder werd aangenomen. De vijf ontdekte zwarte gaten bevinden zich in het centrum van sterrenstelsels die op enkele miljoenen lichtjaren van de aarde staan.

Lange tijd hebben astronomen gedacht dat gas en stof superzware zwarte gaten niet aan het zicht konden onttrekken, maar dankzij NuSTAR zijn ze er voor de eerste keer in geslaagd deze verborgen monsters duidelijk te zien.

“We hebben er maar vijf gezien, maar als we de resultaten extrapoleren naar de rest van het universum, is het geschatte aantal enorm,” zei hoofdonderzoeker George Lansbury. NuSTAR bestaat uit twee telescopen die zijn bevestigd aan een satelliet. Omdat het instrument zich in een baan om de aarde bevindt, kan het veel scherper waarnemen dan telescopen op het aardoppervlak.

Het onderzoek is gepubliceerd in The Astrophysical Journal. De wetenschappers gaan NuSTAR nu gebruiken om meer superzware zwarte gaten in het hart van andere sterrenstelsels op te sporen.

Groot ruimteschip boven Mexicaanse vulkaan ( video )

Het verschijnen van grote sigaarvormige ruimteschepen boven vulkanen in Mexico is nog steeds heel bijzonder.

Al meerder malen is vastgelegd hoe dit soort schepen met grote snelheid de krater in duiken.

De Colima is een vulkaan in Mexico. Anders dan de naam doet vermoeden, ligt hij niet in de deelstaat Colima, maar vlak over de grens in Jalisco. De vulkaan heeft twee toppen. De Nevado de Colima is met 4330 meter de hoogste, maar is inactief. De Volcán de Colima ligt ten zuiden van de vorige, is 3830 meter hoog en erg actief. De afgelopen jaren zijn omwonenden regelmatig geëvacueerd wegens eruptiegevaar.

Op 4 juli werd er door de webcam van de Colimavulkaan een bijzonder grote sigaarvormige UFO vastgelegd.

We zeggen wel één, maar tegelijkertijd is er onderin het beeld nog een tweede te zien die de andere kant op schiet.

Naast deze vulkaan wordt ook de Popocatépetl vulkaan druk bezocht door UFO’s. Het is dan ook niet voor niets dat deze beide vulkanen worden genoemd door de Azteken als plaatsen waar de buitenaardsen wonen.

De lokale bevolking in de buurt van deze vulkanen gelooft dan ook dat de Azteken afstammelingen waren van deze buitenaardsen uit de vulkanen.

Oklahoma: News Broadcast Video Caught A UFO Streaking Across the Camera Screen

A UFO caught on video during an Oklahoma City morning news broadcast, and they are asking opinions from the viewers about the mysterious UFO’s identity.

A short 13 second video was posted by KOCO 5 News in Oklahoma City on the morning of March 12, 2015. It shows a mysterious bright object flying across the screen. The video was taken by a camera mounted at the top of Grand Casino, located just east of the city.

The news broadcast presented the live video feed from the Grand Casino camera to show traffic on nearby I-40. All of a sudden, a bright object appears across the screen at a blazing speed. It moves away the screen and off to the right. It seems flying nearby and luminescent the whole time.

The broadcasters seem not noticing the object in the video because they did not mention it. One broadcaster only mentioned about the live camera feed from Grand Casino and then went on to introduce their meteorologist.

It appears that KOCO staff did notice the object while shooting the scene and posted the video of the UFO on their website with the title “Caught on camera: UFO flying through the sky near Shawnee.”

The video description says that they caught a flying object on KOCO 5 News at 6 a.m. during a morning news broadcast. However, no other details included in the report.

Viewers suggested shooting stars, meteors, bugs, fireworks, aircraft, and aliens. One viewer wrote in the comment section that aliens have gambling addictions as well. As of this writing, no one suggested the video as a hoax, perhaps because the news station itself took the video.

The Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy instrument hangs under the wing of a research aircraft. Relying on measurements from the instrument, CIRES Fellow Rainer Volkamer and international colleagues report that halogens, natural chemicals from the ocean, can contribute to much more vigorous atmospheric chemistry than previously understood. The discovery may help explain levels of mercury contamination in the air, on land and in the oceans, and some climate mysteries as well. For a larger version of this image please go here.

Atmospheric mysteries unraveling

It's been difficult to explain patterns of toxic mercury in some parts of the world, such as why there's so much of the toxin deposited into ecosystems from the air in the southeastern United States, even upwind of usual sources. A new analysis led by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder shows that one key to understanding mercury's strange behavior may be the unexpected reactivity of naturally occurring halogen compounds from the ocean.

"Atmospheric chemistry involving bromine and iodine is turning out to be much more vigorous than we expected," said CU-Boulder atmospheric chemist Rainer Volkamer, the corresponding author of the new paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "These halogen reactions can turn mercury into a form that can rain out of the air onto the ground or into oceans" up to 3.5 times faster than previously estimated, he said.

The new chemistry that Volkamer and his colleagues have uncovered, with the help of an innovative instrument developed at CU-Boulder, may also help scientists better understand a longstanding limitation of global climate models. Those models have difficulty explaining why levels of ozone, a greenhouse gas, were so low before the Industrial Revolution.

"The models have been largely untested for halogen chemistry because we didn't have measurements in the tropical free troposphere before," Volkamer said. "The naturally occurring halogen chemistry can help explain that low ozone because more abundant halogens destroy ozone faster than had previously been realized."

Volkamer is a Fellow of CIRES, the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, at CU-Boulder and is an associate professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. For the new paper, he worked with scientists from the U.S., China, Denmark and England.

The international team relied on a differential optical absorption spectroscopy instruments (DOAS) that Volkamer's research group built to measure tiny amounts of atmospheric chemicals including highly reactive bromine oxide and iodine oxide radicals.

Those radicals are very short-lived in the air, and collecting air samples doesn't work well. DOAS uses solar light, measuring the scattering and absorption of sunlight by gases and particles to identify the chemicals' distinct spectroscopic fingerprints and to quantify extremely small amounts directly in the atmosphere.

Reactions involving those bromine and iodine radicals can turn airborne mercury--emitted by power plants and other sources--into a water-soluble form that can stay high in the atmosphere for a long time. High in the air, the mercury can sweep around the world. Towering thunderstorms can then pull some of that mercury back out of the atmosphere to the ground, lakes or oceans. There, the toxin can accumulate in fish, creating a public health concern.

Volkamer's team's measurements show that the first step in that process, the oxidation of mercury in the atmosphere by bromine, happens up to 3.5 times faster than previously estimated because of halogen sources in oceans. Their work may help explain a mystery: For many pollutants, thunderstorms can rain out the chemicals quickly, so by the end of the storm there's little left in the air. Not so for mercury. Volkamer said its concentration in rainwater remains constant throughout a storm.

"To some extent, because of these halogens, we have a larger pool of oxidized mercury up there," Volkamer said.

Naturally occurring bromine in air aloft illustrates the global interconnectedness between energy choices affecting mercury emissions in developing nations, and mercury deposition in the U.S.

Finally, the measurements will be helpful for climate modelers seeking to improve their understanding of halogen impacts on ozone and other greenhouse gases.

The M-Files: UFOs in Manitoba

The annual Canadian UFO Survey, prepared by Winnipeg-based Ufology Research, has been collecting data on reports of unidentified flying objects since the late 1980s. Its 25-year analysis of Canadian UFO cases looked at about 15,000 reports from coast to coast, with an average of several hundred per year. Last year, Ufology Research’s 2014 Canadian Survey studied more than 1,000 UFO cases reported in Canada, or almost three cases each day.           

But what about Manitoba, by itself?           

Last year, in 2014, there were 44 UFO sightings reported in Manitoba. The number per year has varied from as low as only six in 1999 to as many as 124 in 2012. During the 25-year Ufology Research study, covering 1989-2013, there were 1,075 UFO reports from Manitoba.           

However, Ufology Research originally had been the local provincial group Ufology Research of Manitoba (UFOROM), created in 1976 through the encouragement of the US-based UFO organization, the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS). Ufology Research thus also had access to the UFOROM cases for analyses.            

Although unusual objects in the sky have been seen and reported throughout history, the “modern” UFO era began in 1947 when pilot Kenneth Arnold reported seeing several metallic objects flying over Mount Rainer in Washington. In subsequent years, the then-called “flying saucers” were reported around the globe. Not surprisingly, many sightings were reported in Canada, and many were by observers in Manitoba. The infamous Project Blue Book and related earlier official studies by the US Air Force included many Manitoba reports. Blue Book files have been released to researchers and the Manitoba cases have been extractedIn addition, historical records from newspaper archives, journals and personal diaries have been scoured for reports of unusual aerial objects. These and all other sources were used to add Manitoba reports into a master database for studying what Manitobans have been seeing in the province’s skies.           

The oldest account of an odd object over Manitoba took place in the fall of 1792. Explorers David Thompson and Andrew Davy were camped on the shore of Landing Lake, near what is now Thicket Portage. In Thompson’s diary, he recorded that one night he and his companion were surprised by the appearance of a brilliant “meteor of globular form... larger than the Moon.” This object seemed to move directly towards them, descending slightly, and “when within three hundred yards of us, it struck the River ice with a sound like a mass of jelly, was dashed in innumerable luminous pieces and instantly expired.” Thompson noted that the next morning, when they went to see the hole it should have made in the ice, they could not find any sign of the object’s apparent impact on the Earth.           

Between then and now, Ufology Research has collected more than 2,000 reports of unidentified flying objects over Manitoba. These reports include observations by people from all walks of life―from farmers, pilots, campers and police. There are reports noted in newspapers, mailed to civilian investigators and posted to Facebook groups. Cases have been obtained from private files, RCMP files, Canadian Forces documents and the National Archives in Ottawa.             

It should be emphasized that UFOs classified as Unknown or Unexplained do not imply alien visitation. Each case might have an explanation following further investigation. And of those that remain unexplained, they may remain unexplained, but still are not incontrovertible proof of extraterrestrial intervention or some mysterious natural phenomenon.

The Results

A total of 2,023 Manitoba reports were found in historical records, existing files and modern databases. Of these, most were clustered during the years 1952, 1967, 1975, 1992, 2004 and 2012. Some of these years correspond with UFO report trends elsewhere in the world, although there are some differences.

Breaking down the cases by month, UFO reports peak in Manitoba in July and August, which is what we would expect for a province that has harsh winters. Most sightings occur when the weather is warm and more witnesses are outside, at cottages, campgrounds or when evening sky observing is comfortable.

For the type of UFO reported, the most common was a simple Nocturnal Light (NL) at 54% of the total. This was followed closely by Nocturnal Disc (ND), at 28%. What this means is that at least 82% of all sightings occur at night and that most are simply lights in the night sky. Less than 10% of all cases are Daylight Discs (DD), and are objects reported during the day. Less than 7% of all cases were Close Encounters, where witnesses were within 100 metres of an unusual object

 Since previous studies have shown that the density of UFO reports is related to population, it should not be surprising that the largest proportion of Manitoba UFO reports occurred in Winnipeg (38%). However, towns with small populations such as Carman and Sperling made the top five list of UFO “hotspots” in the province, obviously due to the major UFO flap in the Carman area in the 1970s.

The prime time for seeing UFOs in Manitoba was between 10:00 pm and midnight. The average duration of a UFO sighting was about 20 minutes, suggesting that a witness had plenty of time to observe and try and explain the object being observed. Curiously, in cases where the UFO was Unexplained, the average duration of observation is lower, at only about 17 minutes. The average number of witnesses per sighting is 2.08, meaning that the typical case involved two people observing a UFO together

The predominant colour of reported UFOs was white, followed by red, orange and “multicoloured.” The predominant shape reported was “point source” (i.e. a distant light), followed by fireball, sphere and then “irregular.”

For Source of reports, about 37% were reported directly to Ufology Research. National Defence had 8% of the cases, with smaller fractions coming from RCMP, Transport Canada and the National Research Centre in Ottawa. US-based UFO organizations such as MUFON, APRO and NUFORC provided about 25% of the data.          

  The breakdown of all Manitoba UFO reports by Conclusion is as follows:

Explained                                      6.5%

Insufficient Evidence                 35.4%

µProbable Explanation               40.5%µ

Unexplained                                17.5%

NASA Openly Admits Alien Life Exists: Get Ready for Disclosure

Most people ‘in the know’ realize that NASA is just part of the military industrial complex, but a recent open admission on mainstream news that “there are indications of alien life” is likely the beginning of a bid to get your undivided attention before full-forced disclosure ensues.

Most people already believe what NASA Chief Scientist Ellen Stofan states:

• “I think we’re going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth within a decade . . .I think we’re going to have definitive evidence within 20-30 years.”

It isn’t going to take that long if we open our eyes.

Stofan goes on to say:

• “We’re on the verge of things that people have wondered about for millennia. Within all of our lifetimes we’re going to understand that there is life on other bodies in the solar system. We’re going to understand the implications of that for life here on Earth.”

What we’re going to understand is that our ‘secret’ government has been hiding this fact for ages. In an effort to transition the US and other countries through its reach to a cabal-run oligarchy, our shadow government has been lying about off-planet corporate slavery rings, alien abductions, benevolent beings who can only do so much until our collective consciousness elevates, and much, much more.

William Cooper, among others, tried to disclose the true purpose of NASA, but he was exterminated. His death, among thousands of others, will not be in vain.

We will learn that aside from extraterrestrial beings visiting our planet and many different ET races tinkering with our DNA over millenia, there are ancient humanoid races that are more than 10 million years old.

We will learn that a recent computer hacking retrieved millions of government and corporate personnel records, some say as part of documentation for Nuremburg-like trials, will begin soon against those who have mind-controlled, enslaved and tortured us. Undeniable photos of UFOs were also unearthed.

We will also learn that chemtrails and GMOs were the LEAST of plans made for us ‘sheeple’ and ‘useless eaters’ by a Luciferian cabal, and that President Harry Truman signed a document with certain ETs that allowed the ‘elite’ to conduct highly technological experiments with intelligence gained from these ETs in exchange for looking the other way when certain humans were abducted for ET experiments.

We will learn that we are not helpless, as we have been programmed to believe. We are, in fact, a rare humanoid race that has an incredible range of emotion and creative power. We will learn that our minds and emotions can either fuel chaos on this planet, or restore it to its rightful place of peace and cooperation, of care for others at least as much as ourselves.

We will learn that our ascension into infinitely peaceful beings is indeed possible, and it has been described in countless books, many of which have been suppressed along with UFO information.

NASA is telling us now that the likelihood of alien life is a ruse. Be sure to remember those who have been executed to try to prove this information to us decades ago, and to use discernment when the truth is finally revealed.

Here’s the full disclosure by William Cooper:

Official NAVY images of UFO encounter in the Arctic

 

The following case was

The incredible images of Unidentified Flying Objects in the Arctic originated from the USS Trepang, SSN 674 in March, 1971.

made available thanks to John Greenewald from "The Black Vault" who in turn received the incredible images from researcher Alex Mistretta.

 

The photos here displayed are evidence of a "close encounter" between forces of the United States Navy and Unidentified Flying Objects on the "edge" of the Arctic Ocean in March, 1971.

These images were supposedly taken in March, 1971 from a United States Submarine, the USS Trepang (SSN-674), a Sturgeon-class attack submarine.

The official location where the sighting occurred was between Iceland and Jan Mayen island in the Atlantic Ocean. (Jan Mayen belongs to Norway, and is only inhabited by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute and the Norwegian military.)

 

The UFO sighting occurred by accident as the military was in the region on a routine joint military and "scientific" expedition. According to reports, the officer who initially spotted the Unidentified Flying Object was John Kilika using the periscope.

So after looking at the images what are your thoughts? When I first looked at the images I was shocked. I have seen thousands of images of alleged UFOs throughout the years, while some of them cannot be explained in any way, some others are certainly fabricated images.

 

The images made available by Alex Mistretta have certainly puzzled me and seem authentic. Yet, they seem to resemble the movie "Battleship" at the moment the giant alien ships which were submerged under the ocean, come out underneath the ocean and confront the military.

 

The USS Trepang sighting will surely become one of the best recorded UFO sightings in history.

Let us know what you think about these images, do you think they are really depicting extraterrestrial vehicles? Or is it possible that another explanation, more "human" can be attributed?

Roswell  Anniversary...68 years ago: How the Roswell UFO Theory Got Started

July 8, 2015 - Odds are, if you’re familiar with the city of Roswell, N.M., you’re familiar with what happened there on this day, July 7, in 1947: a rancher named W.W. Brazel told Sheriff George Wilcox that he had found something strange on a sheep ranch northwest of the town. After finding bits of rubber, wood, foil, tape and paper in the field, the Sheriff called the local Army air field, which sent Major Jesse Marcel, an intelligence officer, to check it out. Marcel was convinced that Brazel stumbled upon nothing less than the remains of a flying saucer. He told his group commander, who told the press officer on duty, Walter Haut, who sent out a press release. The next day the Roswell Daily Record bore a headline—”RAAF CAPTURES FLYING SAUCER ON RANCH IN ROSWELL REGION”—that instantly turned the town into the nation’s UFO capital.

But there’s a big hitch in that oft-told tale. As TIME reported in an investigation on the 50th anniversary of the incident, the same day that the Daily Record ran the sensational story, it was determined that the litter was from a destroyed weather balloon. The paper printed a follow-up retraction the next day, and Brazel stated that he was embarrassed to have gotten so worked up over nothing.

That should have been that. But not everyone bought the official explanation, as TIME explained in 1997:

• Enter Stanton Friedman, a former itinerant nuclear physicist now living in New Brunswick, Canada, who has long been, in his words, “a clear-cut, unambiguous UFOlogist.” In 1978, while waiting in a Baton Rouge, La., television station for an interview, Friedman was told that Jesse Marcel, long retired from the Air Force and living nearby, had once handled the wreckage of a UFO. After quizzing Marcel, who still believed the debris he retrieved was extraterrestrial, Friedman reviewed the old stories about Roswell, painstakingly sought out and interviewed other witnesses, and came to a dramatic conclusion: there had been a cover-up of “cosmic Watergate” proportions. His research and conclusions became the basis of the 1980 book The Roswell Incident, co-written by Charles Berlitz (author of The Bermuda Triangle) and UFO investigator William Moore. Its publication put Roswell back on the map.

The next decades saw the publication of several more Roswell books. Public awareness of the supposed cover-up grew to a point that the Air Force did its own investigation, eventually making public details of a top-secret balloon-tracking project that had been going on during that 1947 period and which they said explained the original wreckage. ( via time.com )

Others clung to their belief that it was a flying saucer—including Walter Haut. Haut, who died in 2007 without ever giving up on the idea of the alien landing, was one of the founders of the city’s UFO Museum.

The most mysterious UFO images in history

Interestingly, 5% of the images of unidentified flying objects across the skies of the United States could never be explained. Here, in this article, we show you the most enigmatic images.

These are considered by many ufologists as the best photographs of UFO's ever taken.

While some of the UFO sightings can be explained by weather phenomena or experimental military craft, other UFO sightings have anything but a rational explanation.

1) This image was taken in 1957 near Edwards Air Force Base in California. In the image we can see a disk-shaped object following a B-47 jet.

2) On the 2nd of February in 1942, a very mysterious event took place in Los Angeles. An Unidentified Flying Object had put on red alert the US Navy. Even though military personnel thought it was a Japanese Spy Plane it turned out to be unidentified. The bright spots seen in the images are exploding anti-aircraft shells that were not able to damage the "object".

3) This image was taken in 1951 in New Zealand. Even though most individuals believe the object in the image to be a genuine UFO, the US Air Force concluded that it was a lenticular cloud. What do you think?

4) A fairly "recent" image taken by a passenger from a flight from Hong Kong to southwest China. A disk-shaped object can clearly be seen near the aircraft. While most skeptics believe it to be a photoshopped image, ufologists state that the image is authentic.

5) This mysterious image is one of the best examples of mysterious objects in the sky. It was taken somewhere in the United States on June 10th 1964. The image was found years later.

Un OVNI sphérique et lumineux survole une base en Antarctique

Astronomers have Discovered A Truly Exotic Star System Of Five Stars 

It’s a small point in the constellation Ursa Major but if we could cross the 250 light-years that separate us from it, we would observe a rare spectacle: a quintuple star system (five stars) containing two eclipsing binary stars — it is the first known system of its kind.

If double or even triple stars are common in the galaxy, this one though is very rare, a truly exotic star system. This particular system has no name, just a possible designation to remember: 1SWASP J093010.78+533859.5 (J093010 for short) indicating that it is part of the objects studied by the program SuperWASP (Wide Angle Search for Planets) project, in the Canary Islands and South Africa, to image almost the whole sky looking for exoplanets.

For now, we have not discovered any planets around these five stars, but this does not mean there’s no one there. Dr Marcus Lohr, of the Open University, lead author of the new finding says:

•         This is a truly exotic star system. In principle there’s no reason it couldn’t have planets in orbit around each of the pairs of stars. Any inhabitants would have a sky that would put the makers of Star Wars to shame.  – there could sometimes be no fewer than five Suns of different brightnesses lighting up the landscape.
•        Days would have dramatically varying light levels as the different stars were eclipsed. They would though miss out on night for a large part of their ‘year’, only experiencing darkness (and a night sky) when the stars were on the same side of their world.

Currently, we have detected ‘only’ five stars. Yet they are worth seeing! The data collected suggests the existence of a contact eclipsing binary — a system in which the two stars are orbiting so close together that they share an outer atmosphere. This means that the two stars share the same binary plane of revolution, indicating that they are probably formed from a single disk of gas and dust; they were born in the same ‘cradle’.

The first pair consists of two stars rather smaller and cooler than our Sun, separated by a distance of three million kilometers (twice the size of the Sun) with a longer orbital period of 8 hours. The second couple is what we call a contact binary. These two stars have a rotation period of less than 6 hours.

The 2 sets of stars are at 21 billion kilometers from each other, or rather larger than the distance between the Sun and Pluto. However, they are gravitationally bound in a single system, as the fifth star, which is up to 2 billion km away from the first binary, but not apparently producing any additional eclipses.

Although these stars are smaller and cooler than the sun the entire collective system is bright enough to be visible, so amateur astronomers with small telescopes should even be able to observe the eclipses for themselves.

By studying this bizarre and rare system, scientists could better understand how stars and planets, including our small and green ‘ball’, came into being.

There appears to have been something in the air in June. According to an international group of alien hunters, the number of UFO sightings doubled last month. High-profile sightings last month included one of a 'flying saucer' UFO which visited Stonehenge

The majority of Mufon's cases are in the US, and the organisation usually receives anywhere from 400 to 700 reports each month.

Around 10 to 20 per cent of these cases turn out to be unidentified when matched up weather phenomenon and man-made objects.

But Roger Marsh, Mufon director of communications, doesn't think this means an impending alien invasion.

'We feel [it] was directly related to the final two episodes of Season 2 of 'Hangar 1: The UFO Files,' he told the alternative news site Open Minds.

This History Channel documentary took a look at Hangar 1, a facility that houses an archive of more than 70,000 files that have been gathered over a period of nearly 50 years.

The files, maintained by Mufon have recently been opened for investigation.

High-profile sightings last month included one of a 'flying saucer' UFO which visited Stonehenge, according to UFO Sightings Blog.

The site said the UFO was 'black in colour and disc shaped,' and described it as 'medium' size at around 20 to 30 feet (6 to 9 metres) across.

In a separate report a UFO enthusiast claims to have found the wreckage of an alien spaceship in Antarctica.

Last month a data visualisation expert created a map of the US showing almost 90 years of official UFO sightings (above), including information such as the time of day they are typically noticed in different months.

The data also reveals that UFO sightings of fireballs are the most common, while egg-shaped craft are the rarest over time.

John Nelson combined census data with statistics compiled between 1925 and 2014 by the National UFO Reporting Centre to make his maps.

'Of course, as is the case for any observation data, there is a strong tendency towards echoing a population map' he wrote on his blog.

'This is certainly the case with this sighting data, as well. In order to visualise the actual sighting phenomenon, I needed to normalise by the underlying population.'

To do this, he created a map showing sightings by population density, as well as maps based on more complex calculations to build the most accurate maps he could. 

Using Google Earth, Valentin Degterev zoomed in on a dark area and says that the shape is a clear sign that it is a crashed UFO.

However, an expert has told MailOnline that it is just a shadow caused by a crevasse, while the blue tinge is bare ice. 

Marsh said a very high percentage of the June UFO report surge were historical cases.

'People were watching our show and decided they finally discovered a place where they could report their encounter,' he said.

He added that another explanation for the sightings may be that more people were outside celebrating during the evening hours, and looking up for events such as Memorial Day.

'Some of these are very, very interesting and compelling cases currently under investigation,' he added.
