Watch UFOs filmed hovering over Tyneside: Has ET been visiting Geordieland?!

As the 70th anniversary of the famous Roswell incident in New Mexico, USA, approaches, check out five Tyneside UFO sightings

BY DAVID MORTON

It remains one of the most intriguing mysteries and it began to unfold in June, 1947...

The ‘Roswell incident’ has captured imaginations the world over for the last 70 years.

The once sleepy New Mexico town became the focal point of the biggest extraterrestrial hunt in history following reports a flying saucer had crashed, complete with aliens, in the American desert.

The alleged events sparked worldwide wonder until the US military claimed the incident was nothing more than a downed surveillance balloon.

In the same year, the term “flying saucer” was coined, based on quotes by witness Kenneth Arnold describing the shape of the objects he saw as like a “saucer”, “disc”, or “pie-plate”.

UFO reports flourished in the midst of the 1950s-70s Cold War and, in the decades since, thousands of images of UFOs purported to be of extraterrestrial origin have been captured.

And in recent years, thousands of hours of video footage has been collected by individuals worldwide and much of it posted on YouTube showing strange lights, shapes and craft-like objects in our skies.

The subject has also become a favourite in Hollywood. Film blockbusters like Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, ET, and Independence Day have all imagined what might happen if aliens - both benign and malign - showed up at planet earth.

Meanwhile, outlandish theories have emerged.

Is NASA really covering up strange geometric structures and towers that were filmed and photographed on the moon during the Apollo missions?

Is there really a 13,000-year-old alien satellite called the ‘Black Knight’ orbiting the earth?

And did a space ship carrying extraterrestrial beings crash in the US desert at Roswell 70 years ago - and were they captured and taken to a top-secret US defence instalment called Area 51?

The internet and countless books would have us believe so.

Closer to home, even Ant and Dec got in on the act in 2006, with the TV pair releasing the comedy movie Alien Autopsy based on the fabled 1947 incident.

The North East has its very own list of X Files and the Chronicle has reported on dozens of UFO sightings over the years.

In 2015, for example, Craig Lowther from Tynemouth managed to film a dome-shaped object with pulsating lights hovering over the North East coast.

In 1977, a Flight Lieutenant based at RAF Boulmer reported seeing “bright objects hanging over the sea” including an object that was “luminous, round and four to five times larger than a helicopter”.

in 2004, a Gateshead vicar photographed a bright object hovering in the night sky. He said: “It was hovering from left to right, and was extremely smooth. Then the light just turned off as if it was still there, but hidden.”

And back in 1940, Robert Hall, was ‘abducted by aliens’ from a back lane in Bensham, Gateshead. He was “taken onboard the ship by a group of grey, horrible- looking creatures.”

There are many more puzzling stories in the Chronicle archive.

Do the strange lights in the sky have a logical, scientific down-to-earth explanation - or has ET been paying sneak visits to Geordieland in recent decades?

Finally, wild rumours swept the internet this week that NASA was about to make an announcement concerning the existence of alien life.

However, NASA science chief Thomas Zurbuchen said in a Twitter post on Tuesday: “Contrary to some reports, there’s no pending announcement from NASA regarding extraterrestrial life.”

Is that good or bad news? Who knows?

The truth is still out there.

DOOR NASA GEFOTOGRAFEERDE UFO OP MARS GAAT WERELD ROND ( VIDEO )

De complete wereld is weer eens in de maling genomen door een nepvideo van Anonymous imitators waarin NASA buitenaards leven bekend zou maken. 

Echter, NASA heeft waarschijnlijk tegelijkertijd wél iets vergeten weg te poetsen op één van haar Mars foto's en vanuit het oosten van ons land komen fantastische UFO beelden. 

Het is het tijdperk van desinformatie, waarbij bepaalde groepen bewust de mensheid een verkeerde kant opsturen en tevens is er een grote groep die overal maling aan heeft zolang het maar de nodige advertentiekliks oplevert. 

Zo is in enkele dagen tijd een video viraal gegaan die gemaakt zou zijn door Anonymous waarin wordt gezegd dat NASA buitenaards leven bekend zal maken. 

De opname is gemaakt door iets of iemand die zegt Anonymous te zijn, maar het zeker niet is. De officiële Anonymous website is hier te vinden alsook het officiële Anonymous Youtube kanaal en op beiden kom je de bewuste video niet tegen. 

In welke categorie de nep Anonymous video valt, waarbij bekendmaking van buitenaards leven door NASA wordt aangekondigd, is niet bekend. 

Het volgende geeft misschien een indicatie: 

The video, which runs with advertising, has garnered over half a million views. 

Diezelfde video is inmiddels meer dan 2 miljoen keer bekeken en dat levert een behoorlijk bedrag aan advertentie-inkomsten op. 

Het is natuurlijk een win-win situatie, want niet alleen de videomaker scoort goed met de advertenties, ook de websites die de video plaatsen zonder enig onderzoek en die vol staan met advertenties scoren goed. 

NASA heeft inmiddels ook al gereageerd op de nepvideo en iedereen verzekert dat ze zeker niet op het punt staan om buitenaards leven bekend te maken. 

Maar, iets waar NASA wat meer moeite mee heeft is een beeld dat op 17 maart 2017 is gemaakt door de Curiosity Rover op Mars. 

Een foto die her en der de gemoederen ook aardig bezighoudt en in combinatie met de nep Anonymous video voor heel wat ophef heeft gezorgd. 

De foto werd enkele dagen geleden geplaatst op het bekende Reddit forum en het object waar het om gaat ziet er als volgt uit:

Wat het ook moge zijn, duidelijk is dat het hier niet gaat om een natuurlijk gevormd iets in het landschap. Zelfs NASA met al haar fantasie zal dat argument dit keer niet kunnen gebruiken. 

Nu is het moeilijk om de grootte van dit object vast te stellen omdat enig referentiepunt ontbreekt. Het is een object in een kaal Mars-landschap. 

Op de originele foto bij NASA die een groter beeld geeft, zijn op de voorgrond de sporen te zien van de Curiosity Rover, waardoor we een iets beter idee krijgen. Een onderwezen gok: de grootte van een kleine auto? 

Afgezien daarvan bevindt dit object zich klaarblijkelijk in een gebied waar tijdens de landing op Mars wat brokstukken van de landingsmodule terecht zijn gekomen. Dit object zou dan ook een onderdeel kunnen zijn van die oorspronkelijke module. 

Echter, er zijn ook een aantal argumenten om aan te nemen dat dit niet zo is en één daarvan is dat het object er onbeschadigd uitziet. Normaal gesproken zijn brokstukken die na een landing op Mars terechtkomen ook écht brokstukken met allerlei beschadigen. 

In dit geval lijkt het object zacht terecht te zijn gekomen alsof het normaal is geland en daarnaast heeft het natuurlijk ook wel enigszins het uiterlijk van een soort klein ruimteschip of UFO. 

Maar goed, wij hebben slimme lezers en daar zullen er vast wel een paar tussen zitten die een goed idee hebben over wat dit object zou kunnen zijn. 

En dan willen we graag jullie aandacht vragen voor een dame uit een landelijk gedeelte van Nederland, aan het accent te horen ergens in het oosten. 

Zij maakt geregeld de meest mooie opnames van UFO’s in het Hollandse landschap, alleen haar video’s worden door zo goed als niemand gezien. 

Kijk en bewonder de prachtige UFO’s die gewoon verschijnen tussen de dieren die je in de achtergrond hoort. Heel bijzonder en misschien ook wel weer een boodschap, wie weet. 


De volgende opname is gemaakt op 21 juni 2017 rond middernacht: 

 

Dit gebeurt allemaal in ons eigen landje. Een dame die de meest fantastische opnames maakt op het platteland en niemand die het ziet. Het zou wat ons betreft mooi zijn als daar verandering in komt.

TR3B SPACECRAFT FILMED IN RUSSIA - DARK GOVERNMENT TEST FLIGHT

Ever since the Roswell UFO crash in 1947, there have been rumors about alien technology that was reverse engineered to develop a manmade spacecraft that uses anti-gravity technology.

These projects are funded through dark government agencies who operate below the radar and have access to unlimited resources.

 Sounds farfetched? People need to realize that back in the 60's, the NSA already had access to computers that run at a clock-speed of roughly 650 megahertz. Only after 35 years, this type of technology was accessible to the general public. Imagine the technology that is currently being developed and will enter everyday live in 35 years...

One of these secret projects has been the TR3B, a spacecraft that is capable of entering space. There is no official confirmation of this project, but during the last 2 decades, numerous UFO sightings could be attributed to this craft.

It started in the late 80's with the Belgium UFO flap. Thousands of witnesses reported seeing a black triangular craft with 3 distinct light. The Belgian General Wilfried de Brouwer stated during a press conference that the movements of this aircraft (radar confirmed) were not feasible for manmade airplanes at the time.

Recently a video from Russia emerged that shows the TR3B spacecraft flying through the sky. The craft is flying at a speed that is impossibly slow for regular airplanes. This might be the best video evidence of the existence of the TRB3 ever recorded.

DID MARTIAN ALIENS THROW ROCKS AT NASA'S MARS ROVER?

A strange Mars rock was spotted by Opportunity resting in a spot where earlier, there was nothing but soil.

The rock, which scientists now call Pinnacle Island, is in the shape of a doughnut, white on the outside, red in the middle, it appeared after Opportunity had just finished a short drive.

The subject of UFOs presents us with quite an enigma. It deals with ambiguities, in a world where certainties are not just the norm; they are requisite. Otherwise, there is little seriousness to be afforded something that, while seemingly tangible within the context of a body of data purporting to offer good evidence, remains so inescapably odd and downright unreal.

In the past, I have devoted a good bit of time to the assessment of “what a UFO is,” though honestly, there are times where I begin to question whether they can be easily defined at all. To illustrate this, the most common idea about UFOs present today addresses the subject through a lens of unreality, in which strange objects in the skies are taken to be alien spaceships. A host of conspiracy theories (yes, conspiracy theories) exist that offer “evidence” of this: crash landings in the American southwestern deserts, purported extraterrestrial assessment teams like the so-called “MJ-12”, and hosts of reports from proclaimed abductees who discuss their interactions with Star Guests that literally point to where in the universe they hail from.

Who knows. For all you or I may be able to discern, any (or all) of the above may be true. However, there appears to be so little hard evidence to substantiate such claims, despite years and years of collective research by the UFO community, that at times the silence begins to seem damning.

To be clear, my best assessment of the subject is that there is a phenomenon, though it remains ambiguous, and no conclusive data seems to exist that clearly, irrevocably indicates that the sole source is extraterrestrial visitation. My colleague Nick Redfern (who, as I write this, will soon be en route to the location where I’m staying here in Texas, for a coffee and a chat about all this), also wrote about this recently at MU, noting the way his ideas and attitudes have changed over the decades, carrying him along from a once-believer in ET or alien UFOs, to his present position as one who, like the late John Keel, thinks UFOs may be “something masquerading as aliens.”

Interestingly, the UFOs (or their occupants, if they have any) may not be the ones hiding behind the extraterrestrial meme at all. It very well could be that while some kind of phenomenon does exist, our perception of an “alien” origin is our very own creation, rather than something that is intentionally presented to for purpose of misdirection.

I nonetheless think Keel was fairly close with his assessment. It may be that Nick and I would agree on many points, or that we may not, as far as any “final conclusions” go. But I think that it is telling that so many researchers who have looked seriously at this phenomenon over the years begin to move further from the “extraterrestrial hypothesis” (ETH), which at one time had seemed the most likely conclusion.

Back in the mid to late 1980s, UFO researcher Jacques Vallee had begun to express serious doubts about an extraterrestrial component underlying the UFO phenomenon. His five primary arguments against the ETH were as follows:

1. Unexplained close encounters are far more numerous than required for any physical survey of the earth
2. the humanoid body structure of the alleged “aliens” is not likely to have originated on another planet and is not biologically adapted to space travel
3. the reported behavior in thousands of abduction reports contradicts the hypothesis of genetic or scientific experimentation on humans by an advanced race
4. the extension of the phenomenon throughout recorded human history demonstrates that UFOs are not a contemporary phenomenon
5. the apparent ability of UFOs to manipulate space and time suggests radically different and richer alternatives

One may, for sake of argument, dispute Vallee’s assessments, just as I have (despite essentially sharing his views). One reason for this is because, if we are to make a scientific argument, we must be careful to check for whether it is falsifiable. While UFO incidents seem to exceed the amount required for an alien survey of our planet, who knows what kinds of scientific motivations, and hence what other requirements, an “alien survey” might call for? Also, with no comparison as far as life on other planets, can we be sure that extraterrestrials would not possess features very similar to humans? We could go on, but the fundamental point remains that virtually any argument presented about UFOs could be debated… while I could continue the exercise of deconstructing Vallee’s analysis here, seemingly lending support to the ETH, I will nonetheless point out again that the ETH can be deconstructed just as simply; we are left with nothing that is truly conclusive about the phenomenon at the end of the day.

For the modern skeptic, this lack of clarity on the subject is roughly equivalent to no subject at all, rather than an apparent phenomenon that remains ambiguous. In likelihood, if there is anything more to UFOs than a cultural belief system and/or a social movement built around the idea, the first step toward understanding what they may be is to start thinking outside the box.

Extraordinary claims do require extraordinary evidence, as is so often said; but maybe it’s time that a bit of ordinary thinking should be applied to the subject, rather than going to such lengths to “prove” something extraordinary, when it may be very different in the end.

Throughout the 1960s, Fortean researcher John Keel, author of The Mothman Prophecies and a number of other decidedly weird, but thoughtful books on the unexplained, was almost equally renowned for his active correspondence with his contemporaries in the field. And, as expected, if the contents of the excellent John Keel blog maintained by Doug Skinner (which can be seen here) is any indication, some of Keel’s exchanges were pretty strange, too.

Like, for instance, the letter where Keel wrote a private correspondence to himself, which he refrained from sending out to anyone specific, but instead used as a sort of test to see whether a group of entities he called the “Androids” were able to read his mind. Keel was very much an open-minded adventurist, both in practice, and in thought, and his troves of letters and personal documents featured at Skinner’s site over the last few years have offered a fascinating inside-look at Keel, his beliefs, and his attitudes on various things.

Keel was often on the receiving end of messages too, a number of which were weird enough that Keel, referring to them as “crank” letters, created an entire subcategory for them in his extensive notes and documentation, dubbing them “anomalous mail.” An all-time favorite example of such unusual mail had been a letter Keel received in the fall of 1967, purporting to have been from a shadowy group of individuals identified only by the name appearing at the letter-head: “The International Bankers.”

The ominously-toned message read as follows:

It continued to say that, “Others have tried, without success, to find out things that do not concern them, such as Dr. Jessup, Al Bender and others who you do not even know about.

“Do not overstep your bounds Mr. Keel, even your own government cannot protect you from our powers.

“Remember Mr. Keel 1968 A.D. will have Black as its symbol.”

Keel noted one especially peculiar aspect of these sorts of “anomalous letters”; the fact that, in Keel’s opinion, they contained various misspellings, which at times appeared to be intentional:

“You will note that the word “comping” is misspelled. Misspellings of simple words are a common factor in mail of this sort. These often seem quite deliberate. (i.e., a witness in West Virginia received a note containing the word “want” instead of the intended “won’t”.) The vague prediction that 1968 would be a “black year” proved disturbingly accurate. 1968 proved to be a year of widespread civil disturbances and the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy.”

Rather obviously, someone had been pranking Keel with these dark, and at times rather elaborate letters. Commenting on the possible source of the letters, Doug Skinner notes that, “Somebody, though, went to the trouble of printing stationery and sending out crank letters.  I suspect that it was Gray Barker, cooking up confusion again; although I suppose it’s unfair to blame all ufological pranks on him.” Whether or not this is indeed the case remains undetermined.

In some ways, one might argue that the tradition of “crank letters” has continued to some extent. With the recent “addenda” to the famous Majestic 12 documents that surfaced last week, we saw a similar, “traditional” pairing of absurdities (an alien purportedly sitting and having a tree-huggerish, “save your planet” moment with USAF officials, for instance) with numerous common misspellings… something my fellow Mysterious Universe blogger Nick Redfern also took issue with.

In fact, in another recent post here at Mysterious Universe, Redfern made a similar connection between the hoax-letters of yesteryear, as well as their perpetrators… some of them had been Keel’s contemporaries. Redfern notes a document that had been carefully altered by ufologists Gray Barker and Jim Moseley, which led to a convincing looking hoax letter that was sent to the alleged contactee George Adamski.

“Moseley and Barker were just having a bit of fun during a late-night drinking session,” Redfern points out. “The idea that the new MJ12 documents are the work of someone in Ufology who is desperate to see Roswell vindicated – as a UFO event, at least – is not out of the question.”

In fact, I spoke with Nick about this on a recent edition of my Gralien Report Podcast, in which the subject was raised by Race Hobbs as to whether there might be legalities concerning the alteration of real government documents, or borrowing letterhead from them in order to make bogus documents look more convincing.

“That’s an interesting sort of concept,” Nick said. “The idea that if you’ve got… let’s say legitimate, DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) headed papers on, I don’t know, North Korea, and you white out certain bits and insert new material in the spaces on Roswell, then you photocopy it, and photocopy it again to make it look a bit older… is it actually a crime to do that?”

Whatever the case, with the new alleged “Majestic 12” documents that have been released, what we’re seeing is by no means anything new… in fact, it seems to be a sort of continuation of a time-honored tradition of ufological hoaxes that have surfaced over the last half century.

US government on BRINK of ‘confirming alien life’ as boffins close in on 70-year secret

THE US government could soon crack and admit it has secretly been hiding evidence of alien visits to Earth, it has been claimed. 

By Tom Evans 

After the discovery of a new “Earth-sized alien world” at the weekend, boffins have been waiting with bated breath for an update on extraterrestrial life.

And the development paved some groups to claim that a NASA confirmation of alien life was imminent.

But now investigators believe that the US government could be about to expose a 70-year secret and reveal that aliens have visited Earth.

“For 70 years this truth has been embargoed by your government”

Paradigm Research Group

The Paradigm Research Group (PRG), which campaigns to bring an end to an alleged "truth embargo", believes there will soon be no going back for government insiders.

Steve Bassett, executive director of the group, is the only registered lobbyist in the US on the issue of alien disclosure.

He is convinced that secrets have been withheld amid fears of the impact such an announcement would have on religion and the rule of law.

He is now seeking $50,000 (£38,000) to help fund the campaign to put pressure on the White House with an “End The Truth Embargo” gofundme page.

"This funding effort is in service to every citizen of every nation now convinced the world should not wait one more day for confirmation we are not alone is this universe,” he writes.

“For 70 years this truth has been embargoed by your government.

"After 20 years of engagement of the issue, I know this embargo can end soon with your help."

The funding campaign is being conducted in conjunction with Coast to Coast AM with George Noory – described as "the most listened to late night talk program in America."

Coast to Coast AM has for the past 25 years provided a platform for researchers, activists, "alien contactees" and other UFO witnesses.

So far, Mr Bassett has raised $6,123 (£4,600).

AI to Ensure Fewer UFOs

To respond to a plague of drones, airports and other venues deploy AI systems to track and identify intruders

By JEREMY HSU

Is it a bird? A plane? Or is it a remotely operated quadrotor conducting surveillance or preparing to drop a deadly payload? Human observers won’t have to guess—or keep their eyes glued to computer monitors—now that there’s superhuman artificial intelligence capable of distinguishing drones from those other flying objects. Automated watchfulness, thanks to machine learning, has given police and other agencies tasked with maintaining security an important countermeasure to help them keep pace with swarms of new drones taking to the skies.

The security challenge has only grown over the past few years: Millions of people have bought consumer drones and sometimes flown them into off­limits areas where they pose a hazard to crowds on the ground or larger aircraft in the sky. Off-the-shelf drones have also become affordable and dangerous weapons for the Islamic State and other militant groups in war-torn regions such as Iraq and Syria.

The need to track and possibly take down these flying intruders has spawned an antidrone market projected to be worth close to US $2 billion by the mid-2020s. The lion’s share of that haul will likely go to companies that can best leverage the power of machine-learning AI based on neural networks.

But much of the antidrone industry still lags behind the rest of the tech sector in making effective use of machine learning AI, says David Romero, founder and managing partner of Black Sage Technologies, based in Boise, Idaho. “With machine learning, 90 percent of the work is figuring out how to make it so simple so that the customer doesn’t have to know how machine learning works,” says Romero. “Many companies do that well, but not in the defense community.”

He and Ross Lam, his Black Sage cofounder, are poised to take advantage of this opening for the upstarts looking to take on the defense industry’s giants. They initially collaborated on a project that trained ­machine-learning algorithms to automatically detect deer on highways based on radar and infrared camera data. Eventually, they realized that the same approach could help spot drones and other unidentified flying objects.

Since the self-funded startup’s launch in 2015, it has won multiple contracts from the United States government—including for U.S. military forces deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan—and from U.S. allies.

Romero says it’s fairly straightforward to apply machine learning to the task of automatically detecting and classifying flying objects. But because the stakes are high—mistakenly shooting down a small passenger plane or failing to take out an explosives-laden drone intruder could be equally disastrous—Black Sage puts its system through a rigorous training phase when it’s installed at a new site. The system’s radar and infrared cameras capture information about each unidentified flying object’s velocity, size, altitude, and so forth. Then a human operator helps train the machine-learning­ algorithms by positively identifying certain classes of drones (rotor or fixed-wing) as well as other objects such as birds or manned aircraft. For proof that it has learned its lessons well, the AI is tested against 20 percent of the positively identified data set—the part reserved specifically for cross validation.

Another company called Dedrone—originally based in Kassel, Germany, but currently headquartered in San Francisco­—is taking a similar approach. When a Dedrone system is being installed at a new site, humans label unfamiliar objects as part of the training process, which also updates the company’s proprietary DroneDNA library. Since its launch in 2014, Dedrone’s machine-learning software has helped safeguard events and locations such as a Clinton-Trump presidential debate, the World Economic Forum, and CitiField, home of the New York Mets baseball team.

“Each time we update DroneDNA, we process over 250 million different images of drones, aircraft, birds, and other objects,” says Michael Dyballa, Dedrone’s director of engineering. “In the past eight months, we’ve annotated 3 million drone images.”

Though Black Sage’s and Dedrone’s automated detection systems are said to be capable of running without human assistance after their respective training phases, the companies’ clients may choose to put humans in the loop for engaging active defenses, such as jammers or lasers, to take down flying intruders. Such caution is critical at sites like airports, where drone detection accuracy greater than 90 percent still means the occasional false alarm or case of mistaken identity. Even so, a human’s interpretive ability can only supplement the ceaseless vigilance that AI systems will need to provide as the number of drones continues to rise.

US intelligence moles 'trying to leak alien truth that will be bigger than Watergate'

US SECRET service agents, who allegedly know about an alien cover up, are trying to expose the truth it has shockingly been claimed.
