Not Your Typical ‘Alien Bedroom Visitation’ Ontario, Canada
Not Your Typical ‘Alien Bedroom Visitation’ Ontario, Canada
The witness was in bed sleeping when at approximately 3 a.m. he was awoken after feeling something touch his forehead. He opened his eyes and saw that his bedroom was flooded in a sort of red glow or color. He was lying on his back and he looked up the wall above his headboard and was shocked to see a “doorway” (portal?) coming out of the wall. There wer…e two men side by side, and he could see a stairway going up into total darkness. The men appeared to be wearing leather jackets. They appeared to him as human and both had thick wavy black hair. One of them pointed what he thought was a gun at his forehead and for a second, he really thought he was going to be shot in the head. He was partially paralyzed, but was able to raise his right arm enough to actually get a hold of the man holding the “gun” wrist. He then saw what looked like tiny blue lights where the open end of a gun’s barrel would be. There was a red dull white light slightly larger than the tiny blue lights which went around the tip of the “gun” in a circle. He then realized that it was not a gun, but it was roughly the same shape of a handgun, only a little thicker down the barrel and tapering off where the lights were. It appeared to be made of some sort of shiny plastic. They placed the tip of the gun-like instrument against his forehead and at that point both men had a “perplexed” expression on their faces. It appeared that they were confused at whatever it was they may have been expecting to see. He managed to push the man’s wrist up and away from his head, with what seemed to him with very little effort. He had the feeling that the ‘men’ were not allowed to resist him if he attempted to push them away. That is why he reasoned, afterwards, that he managed to push his hand away so easily. Suddenly they were just gone, and the wall was normal again. It took a while for him to be able to move normally, and he was able to see that his wife had slept right through the entire episode. There was a dim red glow on his ceiling for about ten or so minutes after they had disappeared. He could see reddish traces on the tiny lumps of his stucco ceiling for quite some time as it slowly dissipated. According to the witness he did not experienced any fear, except maybe at the time when he thought he was going to be ‘shot’, but even then not as much fear as he would have expected. It seems to the witness that the men, whoever they were, were able to control his emotions and his body. His wife has no recollection of anything out of the ordinary, or did his three adult sons. He has not had any further incidents.

Enkele maanden geleden maakten sterrenkundigen bekend dat ze mogelijk een gigantische ‘planeet X’ hadden ontdekt voorbij Pluto. Spaanse wetenschappers zeggen nu dat er wellicht twee reuzenplaneten in het buitenste deel van ons zonnestelsel kunnen worden gevonden.
Astronomen vermoeden dat de omloopbaan van rotsachtige objecten voorbij Pluto wordt beïnvloed door een onontdekte planeet. Wetenschappers hebben berekend dat deze wereld ongeveer 10 keer zo zwaar moet zijn als de aarde en op zo’n 250 AE (astronomische eenheid) rond de zon draait.
Baanresonantie
Carlos en Raul de la Fuente Marcos van de Complutense Universiteit van Madrid hebben nog eens gekeken naar deze verafgelegen hemellichamen. Het tweetal stuitte op raadselachtige patronen. Het blijkt dat kleine groepen objecten gelijksoortige omloopbanen hebben. Omdat ze zelf niet zwaar genoeg zijn om elkaar aan te trekken, denken de onderzoekers dat ze worden beïnvloed door een groter object. Ze spreken in dit geval van baanresonantie.
De omlooptijden van de planeten Neptunus en Pluto om de zon bedragen bijvoorbeeld 165 en 248 jaar, dat wil zeggen een verhouding van 2 op 3. Hoewel de banen van Neptunus en Pluto elkaar deels overlappen, is er geen gevaar voor een botsing omdat de baanresonantie een situatie in stand houdt waarbij Pluto de baan van Neptunus alleen kruist als Neptunus ver weg is.
Op dezelfde manier is de kleine groep objecten in de greep is gekomen van een grote, verafgelegen planeet, die ongeveer net zo zwaar zou moeten zijn als Saturnus en op 200 AE rond de zon moet draaien.
Sommige van de kleinere objecten hebben een zeer langgerekte omloopbaan, waardoor ze de afstand van 200 AE van de zon gemakkelijk halen. Een grote planeet draait niet zomaar zo dicht rond andere objecten tenzij er sprake is van een dynamische verbinding met iets anders. De onderzoekers veronderstellen dat de grote planeet een baanresonantie heeft met een nog grotere planeet op ongeveer 250 AE, zoals voorspeld in eerder onderzoek.
Het zal niet gemakkelijk zijn om de veronderstelde planeten waar te nemen. De kleinere lichamen hebben een elliptische baan en werden alleen gezien toen ze het dichtst bij de zon kwamen. De grote planeten zouden daarentegen een cirkelvormige baan beschrijven en langzaam bewegen. Verder zouden ze vrij zwak zijn, waardoor ze met huidige telescopen lastig te zien zijn. “Het is niet verrassend dat ze nog niet gevonden zijn,” zei Carlos.
A team of Harvard scientists believe the remnants of an ancient Earth, dating to the time another planet collided with ours to produce the moon, may still be lodged deep within the Earth’s mantle
If you thought it was a trip to see the Earth from space, then wait until you get a load of this: A team of scientists from Harvard University believe that have found evidence that an ancient Earth exists inside the Earth.
The team believes that a previously unexplained isotopic ratio from deep within the Earth might be a signal from material from before the Earth collided with another planet-sized body, which led to the creation of the Moon. This might be an echo of an ancient Earth that existed 4.5 billion years ago, prior to the proposed collision.
The current favored theory says that the Moon was formed 4.5 billion years ago when the Earth collided with a mass the size of Mars, dubbed “Theia.” This theory states that the heat generated by the collision would have melted the whole planet before some of the debris spun off to create the Moon.
But now, the team at Harvard, led by Associate Professor Sujoy Mukhopadhyay, believe that they’ve found evidence to support that only part of the Earth melted, and that an ancient part still exists within the Earth’s mantle.
According to Professor Mukhopadhyay: “The energy released by the impact between the Earth and Theia would have been huge, certainly enough to melt the whole planet. But we believe that the impact energy was not evenly distributed throughout the ancient Earth. This means that a major part of the impacted hemisphere would probably have been completely vaporized, but the opposite hemisphere would have been partly shielded, and would not have undergone complete melting.”
The team analyzed the ratios of noble gas isotopes from deep within the Earth’s mantle and compared the results to isotope ratios closer to the surface. They found that 3He to 22Ne ratio from the shallow mantle is significantly higher than the equivalent ratio deep within the mantle.
Professor Mukhopadhyay remarked: “This implies that the last giant impact did not completely mix the mantle and there was not a whole mantle magma ocean.”
Further evidence comes from analysis of the 129-Xenon to 120-Xenon ratio. Material brought to the surface from the deep mantle has a lower ratio than what’s normally found near the surface. Because 129-Xenon is produced by the radioactive decay of 129-Iodine, the isotopes place the formation age of the ancient section of mantle to within the first 100 million years of Earth’s history.
“The geochemistry indicates that there are differences between the noble gas isotope ratios in different parts of the Earth, and these need to be explained. The idea that a very disruptive collision of the Earth with another planet-sized body, the biggest event in Earth’s geological history, did not completely melt and homogenize the Earth challenges some of our notions on planet formation and the energetics of giant impacts. If the theory is proven correct, then we may be seeing echoes of the ancient Earth, from a time before the collision,” said Professor Mukhopadhyay.
Professor Richard Carlson of the Carnegie Institution Department of Terrestrial Magnetism stated: “This exciting result is adding to the observational evidence that important aspects of Earth’s composition were established during the violent birth of the planet and is providing a new look at the physical processes by which this can occur.”
The findings of the team at Harvard coincide with a German team’s findings supporting the theory that the Moon was formed 4.5 billion years ago after a catastrophic collision with a planet-sized mass.
Both the Harvard and German teams presented their findings to the Goldschmidt Geochemistry Conference in California this week.

Hybrid History: Sasquatch Sexuality and Prehistoric Pairing
By Micah Hanks
Reports of hairy humanoids in the Americas like Bigfoot have captured the public’s fascination for decades. The proposed existence of such creatures beckons to us, after a fashion, and hints at a primal element that even modern humans seem to possess after all these many thousands of years of evolution and pairing that have made us what we are today.
Most often, the stories we hear about Bigfoot entail creatures much larger than humans, but similar in their general bipedal posture, physiognomy, opposable thumbs, and other human-like traits they are said to possess. Larger than life in the very literal sense, the problem scientists face when trying to understand them is how such a creature, with their humanlike appearance and potential for intelligence, could exist undiscovered; save only for the scant recollections of those claiming to have had remarkable encounters with the things.
The encounters, as circumstantial evidence, must account for something: these “scant recollections” actually number in the thousands, and no single complete survey of all reports that have appeared online, in books over the years, on podcasts and radio shows, and which have circulated by word of mouth, has ever been organized and collected. Indeed, mass delusion on this scale would require a new understanding of psychology and the workings of the human mind, as well as a bleak new acceptance of the fallibility of the senses.
By contrast, the hard questions remain just as well: what would a group of creatures like Bigfoot consume, particularly in the remote regions of North America? Why have no bodies ever been recovered? For enough of a breeding population to exist, there would have to be enough of the creatures in existence for their regular appearances to occur; are the plethora of reports mentioned previously capable of accounting for this, and if so, why does the academic establishment still hesitate to take this subject seriously?
For the sake of conversation, let’s suspend our disbelief for a moment about whether or not such a creature could exist, and explore a hypothetical scenario involving human and Sasquatch relations that may be remarkably similar to another potential scenario in early human pre-history.
During a correspondence I had with an academic friend of mine recently, the subject of purported “Sasquatch kidnappings” in relation to the idea of hybridization between humans and other hominid species was brought up, at which time I posed the following observations:
If Native American legends among bands like the Chehalis and other Northwestern tribes are to be taken any more than on count of the novelty of their existence as legends, the multitude of Indian tales involving kidnappings of women by Sasquatches might equally bring forth the notion of forced copulation between similar species (i.e. rape) which, in an evolutionary sense, could be viewed as characteristic of one (male) member of a species’ unsuccessful ability to find a mate and procreate; the psychological component linked to this act with modern humans is representative of the “ultimate intrusion,” which no doubt hints at the evolutionary paths to trust and nurture we also find in child-rearing and development. Ultimately, perhaps all of the “civilized” demeanor we now exhibit today, for which the rudiments have no doubt influenced trust-bearing in all cultures, with generous consideration of sexual attitudes that vary among them, could be rooted in the evolution of sexual interactions (this idea has a pronounced Freudian element to it, I think). But again, in an evolutionary sense, the act of forced copulation provides a very different picture: if we suspend our disbelief for long enough, stories of Bigfoot kidnappings (which were far more common among Native Americans) might suggest a species of humans or proto-humans whose gene pool is becoming so stressed due to limited numbers, that they may have sought forcible coupling based on instinct.
I know that this is pretty far out as a hypothetical, but the result, based on the genetic similarities between varieties of hominids which may have existed over the last several hundreds of thousands of years (and much earlier), might have led to occasional offspring that are effectively “hybrids.” As I understand, since mitochondrial DNA from a father’s sperm is destroyed at the time it fertilizes the female egg, there is really no way to trace forced copulation amidst, for instance, two species like Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons (in which case we might presume the male members of the Neanderthal group had been initiating these liaisons). Subsequent DNA studies about whether Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons may have interbred in this way are mixed, and hardly favorable, though a minority of cases suggest that interbreeding between the species in the way I’ve outlined above (and between two species with 99.5% genetic similarity) could have possibly occurred, but evidence suggests perhaps only a little more than 100 times over the course of thousands of years. Again, the problem with tracing the father’s mtDNA is partly the issue, but posed as a hypothetical scenario, it again also points to the likelihood of hybridization on count of forced copulation.
Return again to these old Native legends of “old Sasquatch men kidnapping Indian women,” and we have a very similar narrative that begins to emerge… if the stories are to be taken literally, which does, again, require some suspension of disbelief. But it is also representative of a theme which, in likelihood, has existed among hominid species for generations spanning thousands of years, and represents an integral component to understanding human evolution, and perhaps the evolution of other creatures that may have existed… or which may even still exist.
Note:For more on the possible hybridization of Cro-Magnons with Neanderthals, there is an interesting story (involving very mixed opinions) regarding this prehistoric skeleton, discovered on the Iberian Peninsula.

A student, D.X, had taken his parents camper out to the Dunes where could study quietly for his end of term exams. Taking a break from his studies, he strolled along the beach near Cap Blanc Nez. Topping a dune, he was surprised to see, at its base, a cube shaped object, about 3 meters per side and aluminum in color, sitting on a slender, black tripod landing gear. No other features on the object were apparent. The ground at the site was marshy and muddy. Standing next to the object were two human like beings a little over 4 ft tall, wearing one piece suits of a shiny, gray-white color, almost a metallic sheen to them; a slight fold or crease ran from the neck to the stomach. They wore tall narrow helmets on their heads with faceplates that showed about three quarters of their faces. Their eyes were very large, their noses long and thin. Their hands were covered by what appeared to be inflated mittens. The witness did not notice their feet. One was about ten meters to his right, the other to his left. The one on the right circled around the object and had no sooner rejoined the second when a third entity appeared. He was much taller than the other two, at least two meters in height (6’6), and he came from behind the object, around the left side, and stood near the first two. Unlike the smaller beings, he wore no helmet. His features were human, and he had long blond hair. One of the smaller beings then made sounds coming from deep within his throat, which seemed to have a hypnotic effect upon the witness. At that point, the witness is unable to recall what happened next, as he appears to have “blacked out.” When he came back to his senses, everything had disappeared. He was troubled about not being able to recall what had happened to him. He could find no traces of the object and the three beings at the site.

The witness (who requested anonymity) had left his home early on his way to work (he lived in a complex by the coast). The area was very due to power restrictions current at the time. As he drove down the lane along the coast he looked towards the sea which was only a silhouette and noticed what appeared to be the shapes of four men on the beach walking around. Curio…us he stopped the car and backed up to get a closer look at the group. He could now see that the figures were very tall and slender and appeared to be all dressed alike in some type of fluorescent diver’s suit. Three of the individuals were standing while the fourth was kneeled down on the sand right on the shore. The witness thought the three men were busy “burying” something in the sand and walked back and forth between the shoreline and their location. The witness looked at the clock and it said 6:10 a.m. He thought of approaching the men but suddenly it was already 06:30 a.m. The men were now gone and he could not explain what happened during the missing 20 minutes. He then proceeded to work and picked up a friend on his way. He told his friend what he had seen and suggested that he contacted the local National Border Guard who had a post on a nearby hill. They claimed they had not seen anything and dismiss the whole affair as smugglers.

Russian Scientist Claims That Around 200 YETIS are Living in Siberia
Professor claims scientific tests, such as DNA checks, prove hair samples from remote cave belonged to human-like mammal unknown to man
A row has erupted in Russia over a biological scientist’s claim that some 200 Yeti live in a large area of southern Siberia.
Professor Valentin Sapunov has infuriated academics with his assertion that scientific tests, including DNA checks, found that hair samples from a remote cave belonged to a human-like mammal unknown to man.
Now he has gone further by claiming a population of 200 Yeti exist in the forested Kemerovo, Khakassia and Altai regions of Siberia.
This number allows them to successfully reproduce, said the academic from the Russian State HydroMeteorological University.
‘He claims there have been no confirmed sightings of the Yeti because they have an acute sense of danger,’ reported the Siberian Times.
But other Russian experts are deeply unimpressed by Professor Sapunov’s theories, saying he has put his Big Foot in it with claims that there is DNA backing for the existence of the Yeti.
Far from finding the Abonimable Snowman, his scientific claims on the subject amount to abominable lies, Oleg Pugachev, director of the Zoological Institute of Russian Academy of Science, told state-run newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
This institute was one of three where Professor Sapunov claimed the ‘Yeti hair’ – found a year ago – was tested.
Onze Aarde is een nieuw gesteente rijker. Volgens geologen is plastiglomeraat een blijver en een onmiskenbare getuige van onze vervuilende gewoonten. Dat schrijft de nieuwssite Liberty Voice.
Plastiglomeraat vormt zich wanneer plastic smelt en zich vermengt met lavasteen, koraal en zand. Geoloog Patricia Corcoran van de universiteit van Ontario en Charles Moore, kapitein van een oceanisch onderzoekschip, ontdekten de steen op een Hawaïaans strand. Ze publiceerden hun onderzoek in het vakblad Geological Society of America Today.
De wetenschappers vermoeden dat de stenen ontstonden toen kampeerders plastic voorwerpen als vorkjes, tandenborstels en touw verbrandden. Veel van die voorwerpen waren nog herkenbaar.
Overal ter wereld Omdat plastic zo alomtegenwoordig is en niet natuurlijk afbreekt, denken de geologen dat plastiglomeraat een permanente nieuwe aanwinst is op de lijst van gesteenten op Aarde. Corcoran is ervan overtuigd dat het nieuwe gesteente, nu het geïdentificeerd is, aan talloze kusten in de hele wereld ontdekt zal worden.
Volgens paleontoloog Jan Zalasiewicz van de universiteit van Leicester is de ontdekking de officiële inluiding van een nieuw tijdperk: het Antropoceen. Voor toekomstige generaties vormt het nieuwe gesteente een blijvend bewijs van onze vervuilende gewoonten. Sinds 1950 produceerden we bijna 6 miljard ton plastic, genoeg om de planeet mee te verpakken.
Albert Einstein staat wel bekend als de slimste mens die ooit op aarde zou hebben rondgelopen. Toch blijkt hij vooral ook een man van vlees en bloed te zijn geweest. Naar nu pas bekend is geworden heeft ooit een 23-jarige student van de meester een rekenfout in zijn werk ontdekt. Een fout die Einstein ook heeft toegegeven, zij het pas in tweede instantie.
De toen 23 jaar oude natuurkundestudent Herbert Salzer schreef het genie in 1938, vanwege zijn afstudeeropdracht, een brief, waarin hij de fout beschreef. Het zou gaan om fout in een vergelijkingsberekening.
Einstein schreef de student een zeer uitgebreide brief terug, waarin hij de fout verwierp. Hij ondertekende de brief met 'Met achting en respect, Albert Einstein.
Toegegeven Salzer leek zich bij het oordeel van Einstein neer te leggen, maar kreeg twee weken later tot zijn grote verrassing nog een brief van Einstein waarin hij de fout alsnog toegaf. Einstein gaf Salzer alle krediet voor het bemerken van zijn fout. Het is voor zover bekend de enige keer dat een collega een fout in het werk van Einstein aantoonde.
Salzer zou zich later ontwikkelen tot een zeer gewaardeerd natuurkundige en universitair docent met ruim 100 publicaties op zijn naam. Hij stierf in 2006 op 91-jarige leeftijd. De briefwisseling wordt deze week in New York geveild. Naar verwachting levert het wetenschappelijke schrijfwerk zo'n 50.000 dollar op.
Wetenschappers zijn er door seismische proeven in geslaagd om een gigantisch grote watermassa te detecteren in het binnenste van de aarde. Die ontdekking werpt mogelijk nieuw licht op de vraag hoe er ooit water op onze planeet is gekomen.
In de aardlaag, tussen ongeveer 410 en 660 kilometer diepte, bevindt zich voldoelde water om alle oceanen op de oppervlakte van de aarde drie keer te vullen. Het water bevindt zich tussen het aardoppervlak en de aardkern in een laag rotsachtig gesteente met de naam ringwoodiet. De bevindingen verschijnen vandaag in het vakblad Science.
De ontdekking van het water zou er op kunnen wijzen dat het water op aarde er niet is gekomen door ijskometen die op onze planeet insloegen na de vorming ervan, zoals tot nu toe algemeen werd gedacht. Het water zou er nu eerder van binnenuit gekomen zijn, en naar boven zijn gestuwd door vulkanische activiteit. Daardoor zouden de oceanen stapsgewijs zijn ontstaan. De ontdekking geeft ook meer duidelijkheid waarom de oceanen al miljoenen jaren ongeveer even groot blijven: het water in de aardlaag vormt een soort van buffer.
Als het water er niet zou zijn, zou het zich wel op de aardoppervlakte bevinden en zouden enkel de hoogste bergtoppen boven het water uitsteken, zo concluderen de onderzoekers nog.
It’s been many years since numerous scientific experts authenticated Billy Meier’s UFO photographs, films, sound recordings and metal samples. Nonetheless, many people have neither understood, nor accepted, the validity and significance of these findings.
Their skeptical cry for access to now long gone negatives, etc., has been used to try to cast doubt on the evidence, as well as the honesty and character of Meier and all concerned. Such accusations and demands were part of the subterfuge employed, usually by the most technically incompetent people, who were essentially claiming that if they themselves hadn’t personally analyzed the evidence it must be hoaxed. Of course this attitude invalidates accepting as true most of…human history, since none of us have personally witnessed, observed, or tested more than 99% of it.
This skeptical tactic has been parroted and echoed by every online armchair expert for whom the reality of the Meier case is simply too threatening to their belief systems.
Quite recently, Rhal Zahi provided new authentication of 63 of Meier’s most controversial photographs and five-minute video of the WCUFO, from 1981, using state-of-the-art technology. He also authenticated Meier’s first 8mm film of the so-called “Pendulum UFO”, from 1975, which reveals two instances of the craft “jumping”, i.e. actually appearing in two separate places within one frame of film!
Many people who’ve taken the time to examine and think through the evidence also realized for themselves that Meier’s 8mm film of the Hasenböl UFO with two lights flashing in broad daylight, from 1976, was certainly no clever, remote controlled model. Similarly, a film interview of Meier, by NTV (Nippon TV), showing Meier and the film director walking up to the tree immortalized in the famous “Sunlight UFO” photographs also taken at Hasenböl, easily settled the authenticity of that photographic evidence. Add to the amazing photographs the one of the cross in the sky, taken in India in 1964 with an old Kodak bellows camera, as well as UFO photos taken by other witnesses, including a Swiss skeptic, and mountains of other information and one may just recognize the genuineness and authenticity of the Meier case.
However, Rhal Zahi authenticated another one of the WCUFO photos that skeptics long accused of being just a model against a black curtain. Remembering that Meier took these 35mm photos in 1981, long before home computers, digital effects, PhotoShop, etc., and that he never drew any attention to them himself, this one simple result is not only amazing in itself but it can easily be duplicated by anyone, by…you, right at your own computer. No longer will the disingenuous cries for negatives of the original photos carry even the slightest weight or concern. After all, even if negatives were presented at this time, only a relatively few people would have the technical ability to authenticate them themselves, so once again we’d have to rely on outside expert analysis and opinion.
Now, in keeping with the theme of self-responsibility at the core of the Meier case, any and all of us who want to see the truth come alive before our very eyes, the truth that was hidden in plain sight for over 32 years, only have to do what Zahi himself did – put the photo (which you can grab off of this page) into PhotoShop and increase the brightness and contrast. You will find yourself looking down from above the WCUFO at a road next to a grassy path, etc.:
Only the most desperate, intellectually dishonest skeptics (am I repeating myself?) would be dwelling so deeply in denial as to not consider and admit that there is absolutely no likelihood that Meier somehow figured out, more than three decades ago, how to “trick” 21st century technology, that hadn’t been invented yet, into revealing that which wasn’t apparent on a 35mm 35mm film photograph.
While I maintain that the even “higher standard of proof” is in Meier’s voluminous, prophetically accurate, scientific information (of which you’ll find plenty on this blog as well as here) being able to authenticate Meier’s WCUFO photos yourself should be sufficient to end any doubts about their authenticity and Meier’s truthfulness, once and for all.
Of course, now that you know the truth about the most important true story in all of science and human history…what will you do about it?

Bonnybridge has become the UFO capital of the world with more than 300 sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects reported above the town every year. It is a small town in the heart of central Scotland. But Bonnybridge has earned its place in the unexplained history books along with Roswell, in New Mexico, and even the Bermuda Triangle. Councillor Billy Buchanan says so many residents come to him with concerns about what is happening in the town’s skies that he has appealed to three prime ministers – David Cameron, Tony Blair and John Major – to order an urgent investigation. As yet no official investigation we know of is underway. The Ministry of Defence say they are “satisfied that there is no evidence that the United Kingdom’s airspace might have been compromised by hostile or unauthorised foreign military activity.”
But mysterious sightings in the area known as the Falkirk Triangle, which branches from Bonnybridge to Stirling and Fife, continue. Everything from space ships landing to mysterious balls of light have been reported. Some unexplained sightings have even been caught on film. Publicity concerning the sightings started in 1992 when businessman James Walker said he noticed some strange lights in the sky while driving home. At first, he thought they were stars but was startled when he saw them move and assumed a triangle shape. Around the same time, the Sloggett family reported one of the most extraordinary sightings from the UFO hot spot. They claimed to have been walking towards Bonnybridge at around 7 pm on a clear March evening when they saw a circle of light ahead of them. They said the light appeared to land in a nearby field. The family continued on their journey, but say they were stopped by a football-sized blue light hovering above the road ahead of them. Later, Isabella Sloggett said: “My daughter Carole and I saw a UFO land right in front of us. A door opened and there was a howl-like sound. “I screamed and ran off terrified.” Since then, further UFO sightings from this alleged portal to another dimension have come thick and fast. Several people who live near Bonnybridge have separately filmed what appears to be strange white objects hovering in the sky. NOTE: The above image is a rendering
Een vrijgezellenfeestje aan de rand van een meer in de Amerikaanse staat New Mexico heeft geleid tot de vondst van een 10 miljoen jaar oud fossiel. De feestgangers stuitten op de 1,5 meter diep begraven schedel van een mammoet, compleet met slagtanden, in het Elephant Butte State Park op zo'n 250 kilometer van de stad Albuquerque.
Het fossiel van 450 kilo kwam aan het licht nadat een grote hoeveelheid water uit het meer was gepompt, waarmee delen van New Mexico en Texas konden worden geïrrigeerd. Het schoonmaken van de mammoetschedel zal ongeveer een half jaar gaan duren. Daarna kunnen de paleontologen een onderzoek beginnen. "Ik kom hier al 20 jaar, maar ik heb nog nooit zoiets gezien", aldus paleontoloog en curator Gary Morgan van het natuurkundig museum van New Mexico.
I am fascinated with artwork from the European Renaissance era that depict odd flying objects and other anomalies. There are many examples that were created throughout the continent.
One the most interesting objects, in my opinion, was a tapestry created in 1538 in the city of Bruges, Belgium, known as the Summer’s Triumph. It depicts the victorious ascension of a ruler to power. However, there is something far more interesting depicted in the tapestry, which would be easy to miss unless you were looking closely – multiple objects in the sky, which have the classical UFO shape that is popularized in the media.
The city of Bruges is the capital and the largest city of the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region of Belgium in the northwest of the country.
If you look at the top of the tapestry, especially towards the left-hand side, it is possible to see a number of ‘hat shaped’ flying objects in black – that are not related to any religious depictions that are frequently seen in the sky in other medieval artworks.
Although their presence is baffling, some speculate they may have been added in the tapestry in order to connect the UFOs to the ruler as a symbol of divine intervention. If the people in that era associated flying saucers with divinity, it means they were seeing such objects in the sky and linking them to a ‘godly’ phenomena. Of course on the other hand there are those who have claimed that these unusual hat-shaped objects are simple strangely-shaped dark clouds.
The “Triumph of Summer”, is held at the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum on extended loan from the HypoVereinsbank UniCredit Bank AG. The museum has no other information regarding the tapestry’s history.
Another interesting piece by an Italian painter named Ventura Salimbeni is responsible for one of the most mysterious altar paintings in history. Disputa of the Eucharist a 16th-century painting also known as The Glorification of the Eucharist, is a three-part work. The bottom two parts are relatively benign, depicting a number of religious authorities and an altar. However, the top part shows the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and a dove depicting the Holy Ghost) looking upon them…and holding what seems to be a space satellite or antenna craft. The object is large and spherical, with a metallic finish, telescopic antennas, and strange lights. In fact, it somewhat resembles a Soviet Sputnik satellite.
Although UFO enthusiasts and ancient astronaut theorists have often claimed the Disputa as proof of extraterrestrial life (or perhaps time travel), experts have been quick to debunk such notions. According to them, the orb is a Sphaera Mundi, a globe-like representation of the universe that used to be common in religious art. The strange lights on the “satellite” are merely the sun and the moon, and its antennas are actually scepter wands that act as symbols of authority for the Father and the Son.
Speaking of spherical anomalies, this brings us to a bizarre discovery. A self propelled, seamless metallic orb was found by members of the Betz family on March 27, 1974, and rapidly became the object of fascination & controversy for scientists, military officials, ufologists and the general public as the story of this mystery sphere quickly spread through the international media.
The silvery sphere, about 20 centimeters (eight inches) in diameter, was completely smooth except for a strange, elongated triangle symbol. It was found while the family examined the damage of a strange fire that had decimated 88 acres of their woodland on marshy Fort George Island, which is located just east of Jacksonville, Florida. Initially thinking it might be a NASA or even a Soviet spy satellite, they eventually decided it was most likely just a souvenir. They decided to take it with them.
Two weeks later, one of the Betz’ children was strumming a guitar in the same room as the sphere. Suddenly, the sphere started reacting to his tunes, emitting a strange throbbing sound and a resonance that deeply disturbed the family’s dog. Soon, the Betz family found the orb had other strange properties. It could stop and change directions when pushed across the floor, eventually returning to the initial spot. It seemed to draw power from solar energy, becoming noticeably more active on bright days.
It seemed like something was controlling the sphere. It would occasionally emit low-frequency rattling and vibrations, like there was a motor running inside. It seemed to avoid falling and crashing at all costs, as if to protect something inside it. It even managed to completely defy the laws of gravity and climb up a slanted table to avoid falling.
The New York Times and the London Daily and other media outlets sent reporters to witness the miracle sphere, which repeated its tricks to countless people. Even scientists and representatives of the military were impressed, although the Betz family wouldn’t let them take the sphere for closer examination. However, the sphere soon started to exhibit strange behavior. Poltergeist–like activity started to occur. Doors started slamming shut at night and strange organ music would fill the house out of the blue.
Dr. J. Allen Hynek, a famed ufologist and astronomer at Northwestern University in Chicago, contacted the Betz family and asked to examine the sphere. Dr. Hynek was going to be in New Orleans, LA the following week for a meeting with the National Enquirer tabloid, which was establishing a $50,000 prize for definitive proof of aliens. Since Hynek and several other scientists on the Enquirer’s panel were all there, Terry Betz and his sister drove out from Florida to show them the ball in person.
Hynek’s 1972 book The UFO Experience: A Scientific Inquiry had made him perhaps the most popularly known ufologist of the day. But on the Betz sphere, his verdict was a disappointing one. According to a report in the St. Petersburg Independent:
Hynek says none of the five scientists now think the ball is anything but manmade. “None will go so far as to say it’s extra-terrestrial,” he said in an interview yesterday. “They would be putting their scientific reputations on the line.”
So what is it?
At this point in time, the best way to answer this question is to actually the examine the ball, using modern techniques. Unfortunately, there is no record of the ball, or of Terry Betz himself, from recent years. But those newspaper reports did ring bells with a few people.
The Palm Beach Post reported on April 18, 2012 that Lottie Robinson recognized the ball from the pictures, then retrieved it from the garage where it had sat for some 15 years. Technicians from the St. Regis Company paper mill identified it as a ball valve from some large pipes used in their factory, and that had been scrapped 15 years before. Somehow that ball had found its way from a scrap dealer to Mrs. Robinson’s son, and from there to her garage. It was very close, but not identical, in size and weight to the Betz sphere.
Robert Edwards, president of a Jacksonville, FL equipment supply company, was next to make an inquiry. He showed a UPI reporter a brand new stainless steel ball, manufactured by Bell & Howell in Bridgeport, CT. Edwards and the reporter uncrated it, weighed and measured it, and found that it was 8 inches across and weighed just over 21 pounds…exactly the same as the Betz sphere.
“I’m not saying that this thing didn’t come from outer space because I’ve never seen it. All I’m saying is that the physical description of it matches exactly the type of ball we have in stock.”
At a later date, a Navy metallurgist had identified the ball as being made of an alloy called stainless steel 431. According to the web site of a supplier of this alloy:
431 has been successfully used in a variety of aircraft and general industrial applications. These include fasteners, bolts, valve components and chemical equipment.
A for the amazing properties…moving by itself, rolling uphill, making organ music, and transmitting radio signals. Could it be, by chance, that this is just an ordinary piece of industrial machinery? Someone suggested to me several years ago that this sphere may actually be a mysterious ‘Foo Fighter’ UFO from WWII. It’s doubtful…but maybe the true identity of the sphere will surface one day.
See the best NASA captured images of UFO’s. See Washington insiders and high level whistle-blowers spill the beans about UFO’s. Hear it from the horses mouth how we all have been lied to for over 60 years.
The question is – how did a Romanian dictator wind up in Italy? It’s generally believed that Tepes died on the battlefield. There are researchers now who suspect that Tepes was taken prisoner, ransomed to his daughter, by then safe in Italy, and buried in a church in Naples.
Born in 1431, Tepes was part of a noble family that was itself part of the Order of the Dragon, which was engaged in fighting the expansion of the Ottoman Empire into Europe. Vlad’s father was nicknamed Dracul, meaning ‘Dragon’ so the young Vlad became Dracula, or ‘son of Dragon’.
Dracula disappeared in 1476 battle. While some sources have claimed that he died, the researchers claim he was in fact imprisoned and hauled away in chains by the Turks.
His daughter Maria was meanwhile brought to the Neapolitan court, whose ruling family was allied with her own family. She was adopted and eventually married to a Neapolitan nobleman.
Documents have proved that Maria in fact paid a ransom to the Turks for her father, who was then brought to Naples, the historians say.
A newly uncovered headstone in Naples’ Piazza Santa Maria La Nova, the same graveyard as Tepes’ daughter and son-in-law, could be Dracula’s final resting place.
Student Erika Stella, investigating the cloister of Santa Maria Nova in Naples for her thesis, discovered the grave – quite unlike the others surrounding it, and returned with historians who undertook months of research.
Medieval history scholar Raffaello Glinni said that the 16th century tomb is covered in images and symbols of the House of the Transylvanian “Carpathians,” not in keeping with the tomb of an Italian nobleman.
“When you look at the bas-relief sculptures the symbolism is obvious,” he told newspaper reporters.
“The dragon means Dracula and the two opposing sphinxes represent the city of Thebes also called Tepes. In these symbols, Dracula Tepes, the very name of the count is written,” he said.
Researchers have now applied for official permission to investigate the grave.
One thinks – will there be a researcher with garlic and a wooden stake at the ready? – Catholic Online
German court rules that dead workers have a right to paid holidays
Dead workers in Germany have a right to any annual leave which they’ve failed to claim at the time of their death, Europe’s top court ruled on Thursday. In a case brought by a widow from North Rhine-Westphalia, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled she was entitled to money from her dead husband’s employer for the holiday he had failed to claim.
The dead man, named only as Mr Bollacke, worked for the retailer K+K from August 1998 to November 2010, when he died. He had been seriously ill since 2009 and was unable to work for a long period of time. When he died he had 140.5 days of annual leave outstanding, worth €16,000. Mr Bollacke’s widow asked supermarket K+K for the money in lieu of the annual leave not taken by her husband.
But they turned her down, saying she couldn’t inherit her dead husband’s unclaimed holidays. In 2011 she took her case to the Higher Labour Court in Hamm, North Rhine-Westphalia, which also rejected her claim. But she then appealed the court’s decision and the Hamm court referred the case to the ECJ in Luxembourg. In a judgment published on Thursday, the ECJ stressed the right to paid holidays was “particularly important”.
“The Court has previously held that where the employment relationship has terminated, the worker is entitled to an allowance in lieu in order to prevent all enjoyment of that right to leave being lost,” it said. Overruling German law, which states you lose your right to holidays when you die, the court said: “Receipt of financial compensation if the employment relationship ends by reason of the worker’s death ensures the effectiveness of the entitlement to leave.” It will now be up to the labour court in Hamm to make a decision on the case. – TheLocal
Manasquan, NJ – 12/1/1964 – unedited: Our family had at least five contacts over a four year period.
First my daughter Martha described her experience. Then Connie told me what happened to her. John described an “owl” who came in the window “But he didn’t get me, I hid between the edge of the mattress and the wall”
Then the most detailed information came from a child who,at that time was a little less than four. Finally, exactly a year later they came for me.
Three Aliens named Xeno, Nem and Omah took me away and removed ovum.
All of these contacts happened at night probably after one AM in our bedrooms. I have kept this to myself for years and told the children not to discuss anything about their experiences because I didn’t want to get the reputation of being mentally ill and I wanted to avoid our being the “crazy McCann Family” At that time NO ONE believed in Aliens or Flying Saucers and if I had spoken of it I would have had personal difficulties with neighbors and others.Times have changed and if anything I can say could be helpful I will cooperate fully. – MUFON CMS
I’ll start off by apologizing to the people that told my friends and I to not use the board again. Last night being Friday the 13th as well as a full moon, we thought we may as well give it another go. My friend ‘J’ and I did it to start with. We got the entity that named itself ‘B’ and found out that ‘B’ is supposedly my ‘guardian’. We asked a lot of questions about this and this is what we found out:
Basically everyone has a single demon or entity that can see into their mind, this is how that specific demon can see into the human world. The ‘Z’ entity that I mentioned in my last post tries to latch itself onto people or boards. ‘Z’ and ‘B’ fought over possession of the board through most of the session. We were told that was ‘Z’ punishing each of our entity demons because ‘Z’ wanted access to us but couldn’t get it because of them. After a while ‘Z’ cut off our contact to any other entities and kept trying to trick us into saying versions of it’s name (Zozo, Zaza, Mnmn, Gaga), so we ended the session after that.
For those skeptical, I did try some things to test this. While talking to ‘B’, who can supposedly see into my mind, I kept my eyes closed and asked it questions that only I knew the answer to and let my friends read out the answers to me afterwards. I asked what my fathers name is and sure enough it spelled out his name. Earlier I asked what my middle name is and instead it spelled out my grandmothers name, which was weird. I’m not the kind of person to believe something blindly, so I tried to eliminate anything that could be messing with it. I did without my friends so that I knew it wasn’t them just messing with me. I mean it could have been a subconscious thing, but the test with my eyes closed kind of cancels that? I don’t know. When my friends ‘L’ and ‘M’ joined back in the entities ‘Z’ and ‘V’ (‘M’s ‘guardian’) were supposedly fighting over possession over the board and ‘M’s mind. ‘M’ claimed to be able to feel them fighting in her mind and got a bad headache from it. It could have been a coincidence, or imagination or anything really, but that’s what she felt. – Reddit.com

Doctor, What Is Wrong With Me? Mr. Washington Post, You Are Suffering From The David Susskind Syndrome.
Doctor, What Is Wrong With Me? Mr. Washington Post, You Are Suffering From The David Susskind Syndrome
Hi all:,
From Stanton Friedman's 2008 "Flying Saucers and Science", Chapter 10: The Press and Flying Saucers - pp. 250-251: "I don't know why the Washington Post and the New York Times have been not only negative, but also guilty of poor journalism. My best suggestion is that both have been suffering (along with others) from the David Susskind Syndrome, a medical condition I derived from my interactions with TV talk show host David Susskind. ... I have come to delineate the Susskind Syndrome this way: Susskind and everyone else would acknowledge that, if aliens were visiting Earth, and the government was covering it up, it would be a big and important story. But because he and other bright but clueless intellectuals such as Dr. Carl Sagan and Dr. Isaac Asimov take great pride in knowing about the important stories, and haven't known anything about flying saucers, then they must not be real. Anyone who thinks they are must not be very bright, and doesn't understand that secrets couldn't possibly be kept from such smart people as Susskind, et al. Right? Absolutely wrong."
From Terry Hansen's 2000 "The Missing Times", Chapter V: Editing History - Discrete contacts - pp. 173-174 (The late Harvard University psychiatrist Dr. John Mack about the differences in coverage he witnessed both in regional and national news media:
"The sense I get from the local news media, and also from many radio stations, is that they're reporting it straight," ... "it's newsworthy, and UFOs are interesting, and they take it on." Whereas the ... elite newspapers like the New York Times or the Washington Post, even the Boston Globe here, it's as if they have some kind of influences looking over their shoulder ... I don't know what those might be, whether those are the senior editors or corporate people [who] don't want to offend commercial interests or scientific interests or feel they have to protect the status quo philosophically, or scientifically - I don't know. I just know that there tends to be more of a snide or ridiculing attitude, or dismissal altogether. And that can go to extreme lengths. "
Book review: ‘Encounter in Rendlesham Forest’ a look at a UFO by Nick Pope
And so, another book on UFOs. Have we not yet reached the saturation point? Rehearsed all the possible pros and cons?
Nick Pope, the primary author of “Encounter in Rendlesham Forest,” insists that this case is different: It’s definitive. He’s wrong. But that doesn’t mean the book is without its charms, offering, perhaps, an answer to the question: Why more flying-saucer books?
The Rendlesham Forest incident — known in UFO circles as Britain’s Roswell — occurred in the days (and nights) after Christmas in 1980 in a wooded area of England between two military bases then occupied by the U.S. Air Force. Pope recounts the events briefly, covering the narrative in the first 90 pages. According to him, his co-authors, John Burroughs and Jim Penniston, both then with the Air Force, investigated mysterious lights in the forest. Burroughs was on patrol and had seen blue and red flashing lights. He and a superior drove out through the gate and saw a white light, too, which seemed to advance on them. They returned to the base.
Just after midnight, Penniston joined the two men, and they drove out again. Initially, they thought a small plane might have crashed. Instead, they and a few others who joined them came across something else altogether. In a small clearing, “there was a silent explosion of light.” In its aftermath, they could see “a small, metallic craft,” about nine feet high and nine feet across. “The craft was roughly triangular in shape” and either hovered or rested on a tripod. It was decorated with blue and white lights as well as heiroglyphic-like markings. Penniston approached the thing and touched it, and then it sped off at an “impossible” speed.
When the lights returned two nights later, deputy base commander Lt. Col. Charles Halt and a team that included Burroughs investigated. They didn’t see a craft, but Halt found what he thought was the original landing site and noted that nearby trees had been abraded. Measurements suggested that the radiation level was higher than that of the surroundings. Subsequently, the witnesses were debriefed by other members of the U.S. government, reports were sent up the chain of command, and British officials investigated but were unimpressed by what they saw.
‘Encounter in Rendlesham Forest: The Inside Story of the World's Best-Documented UFO Incident’ by Nick Pope, John Burroughs, and Jim Penniston. (Thomas Dunne)
The story leaked out over the coming years, becoming more urgent after the principals retired from the military and spoke more freely. Burroughs and Penniston both developed health problems that they traced back to those events in late December 1980 and the radiation to which they were exposed. The Department of Veterans Affairs, though, has seemed to block access to their medical records.
Hard evidence in support of the story is lacking. The gauge used to measure the radiation had settings too coarse to detect the small changes attributed to it — a shortcoming that Pope notes only evasively. There is no record of an unidentified craft being sighted by area radar. Penniston took photographs of the craft, but the film could not be developed. Halt made an audio tape of his investigation, but it is unremarkable. Pope gives no citations, so there is no way to know the provenance of the reports and memos he discusses.
Instead there are unwarranted conclusions and a welter of unrelated anecdotes. Most of one chapter is written by Burroughs and Penniston’s lawyer, who gives a cursory summary of attempts to obtain their medical records. The failure to release them provides all the evidence Pope needs to say that the documents must be classified. There is no conclusion as to what occurred on those winter nights almost 34 years ago. Penniston and Burroughs are of the opinion that a government is behind the event, using talk of UFOs as a cover. Halt thinks the craft came from outer space. Pope is more coy but seems to favor the extraterrestrial hypothesis.
The witnesses, military personnel though they were, turn out to be untrustworthy. The quotations in the book attributed to Halt show him to be something of a crank, insisting that in the debriefings witnesses were “subjected to mind control efforts using drugs and hypnosis by British and American authorities.” Penniston’s story has changed dramatically over the years; he now says that he spent 45 minutes in close communion with the craft and that, when he touched it, a binary code was downloaded directly into his brain. He remembered the transmission only after hypnosis.
Despite all these (very large) holes, the Rendlesham tale remains popular among those interested in UFOs — as Pope’s book shows, with repeated references to television documentaries and magazine stories. Which raises the question: Why?
“Encounter in Rendlesham Forest” is full of paranoia about the government — not all of it, or even most of it, unwarranted. Pope refers to the Iraq war (with its missing WMDs), drone strikes and NSA spying. He also reasonably worries that the U.S. government may be subcontracting the study of UFOs to private enterprise, thus shielding it from Freedom of Information Act requests.
Indeed, much of the story turns on Freedom of Information Act requests and how they made the investigation of the Rendlesham events possible by the Americans (the Brits not so much, at least until they had similar laws). Which points to why these stories fascinate so.
Governments are so large, and the handles we have on them so small, so slippery, that it is impossible to control the leviathan we have created. Pope himself worked for the British government — in a section investigating UFOs — and felt frustrated at his inability to turn others on to the importance of this matter. If even those inside the government cannot control it, what hope those who are only its subjects? Stories about flying saucers allow readers to contemplate these issues on a vast scale. Roswell, after all, occurred in 1947, but it didn’t become a cause celebre until after Watergate.
Carl Jung once famously said that stories about UFOs were a new myth — about lights in the sky. That’s not the whole story, not anymore. Flying saucers are also myths about the mightiness of the expanding states.
