Daytime UFO sighting over New Ellenton, South Carolina on 8th April 2015
Daytime UFO sighting over New Ellenton, South Carolina on 8th April 2015
New interesting video footage of a strange donut – shaped UFO sighting recorded over New Ellenton, South Carolina on 8th April 2015.
Witness said: I was photographing clouds with my cell phone. In between layers of cloud was what I thought a star until I went inside and zoomed in. The circle with a hole on the center was clearly not a star. I was in front of my house in New Ellenton, S. C. In Aiken County. I enjoy photographing the sky, stars moon and clouds. But I have never seen this before.

A feature film based on the research of UFO and paranormal investigator Chuck Zukowski is in development.
Zukowski, a former deputy sheriff, has spent more than twenty-five years investigating mysterious phenomena including UFOs, cattle mutilation, and alleged secret government activity.
In 2011, he put forward an idea based on his research. He began noticing a pattern linking paranormal cases across the United States: There is a heavy concentration of UFO sightings, alleged alien abductions, and animal mutilation cases running along the 37th degree latitude line, or, as Zukowski likes to call it, the Paranormal Freeway.
Zukowski presented his 37th degree latitude research on the Science Channel’s show Unexplained Files in 2014.
Film producer Beau Flynn became aware of Zukowski’s work, and brought it to the attention of author Ben Mezrich. Mezrich will reportedly pen a book titled The 37th Parallel. But New Line has reportedly already picked up the story for a feature film adaptation.
In a true-life crossing of elements from X-Files and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the story focuses on Zukowski’s incredible findings of alien sightings, cattle mutilations, Native American holy sites and secret government activity located on the 37th degree of latitude. Coupled with that is conspiracy involving a multibillion dollar corporation.

Flynn and his FlynnPictureCo are set to produce the film. And Zukowski will serve as a technical advisor on the project.
Edgar is a famous NASA astronaut that has walked on the moon. He says he has proof that the Grey aliens are real and that right now aliens are watching us!
UFO Aliens
Edgar was part of the Apollo 14 space flight January 31, 1971, proceeded by the lunar landing on February 5th. During the two lunar EVAs (Extravehicular Activity), Mitchell along with his Commander Alan Shepard spent about 33 hours on the Moon.
Edgar claims that he believes in Aliens and UFOs – Aliens are Real! Claiming that we have been watched and observed for a long time. He mentions the Roswell alien crash in the summer of 1947. Pointing out the reason for the US government denial was they weren’t sure if the specimen found was hostile. He also says the US didn’t want the soviets to know so a cover up was decided. Edgar claims he is positive that we are being watched right now.
When asked how many Alien Civilizations there are Edgar’s answer was – Billions.
Astronaut Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man on the moon, testifies to extraterrestrial visitation and military coverup.
Aliens UFO
Edgar also gives us some insight to the reason our government has kept Aliens and other UFO related information above top-secret. He stated that the Air Force is responsible for protecting our skies, and they and various other governmental agencies did not know what to do with the alien crashed saucer, and its superior technology.
They certainly did not want the Soviets to get their hands on it, and at the same, the best course of action was to just lie about it, and keep it to themselves. They labeled it “above top-secret,” and that created the long running iron curtain separating a secret group within the government, and the American public. It is believed by some UFO researchers that this group was the Majestic-12, which is often referred to as MAJ-12.
Mitchell’s reference to this secret group does not in any way give validation to the so-called Majestic-12 documents, but it does give us proof that a group to protect UFO information did exist, and with ongoing UFO events of importance, it is only reasonable to assume that the group continues today.
UFO Interview
There is no doubt that Dr. Mitchell’s statements will have long reaching consequence in the UFO community, and hopefully, mainstream media will pay a more serious look at reports of UFOs. So now, we who have always believed that there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, can know without reservation that this belief is based on fact.
We will continue to look for answers as to why they are here, where they come from, how they get here, and what we will do when and if they decide to make themselves known openly to this curious, tiny, third planet from the Sun we call Earth.
Aliens have contacted humans several times but governments have hidden the truth for 60 years, the sixth man to walk on the moon has claimed.
Apollo 14 astronaut Dr Edgar Mitchell, said he was aware of many UFO visits to Earth during his career with NASA but each one was covered up.
Dr Mitchell, 77, said during a radio interview that sources at the space agency who had had contact with aliens described the beings as ‘little people who look strange to us.’
He said supposedly real-life ET’s were similar to the traditional image of a small frame, large eyes and head.
Chillingly, he claimed our technology is ‘not nearly as sophisticated’ as theirs and “had they been hostile”, he warned ‘we would be been gone by now’.
Dr Mitchell, along with with Apollo 14 commander Alan Shepard, holds the record for the longest ever moon walk, at nine hours and 17 minutes during their 1971 mission.
‘I happen to have been privileged enough to be in on the fact that we’ve been visited on this planet and the UFO phenomena is real,’ Dr Mitchell said. It’s been covered up by all governments for 60 years.
Nowadays, we are extremely proud of the existent technology and we have come to rely on it for various things. But what was it like hundreds of years ago? What was technology for the cultures existent back then? Well, as history and archeological findings have shown us, they did have technology and, of course, ancient gadgets. Let’s check out the top 10 gadgets of the ancient world.
#1 Antikythera Mechanism
Made almost 2000 years ago, the Antikythera Mechanism is believed to be one of the oldest computers in the world. Found in the ruins of a ship, it was considered for a long time to be clock but recent discoveries have demonstrated it could do so much more. Originating from Greece, this ancient gadget had the ability to predict when a solar eclipse would happen and even could organize the calendar in cycles of four years.
#2 The Coso Artifact
The fact that you would find a spark plug is nothing special. But what happens when that spark plug is actually embedded in hard rock, one that dates from as long as 500.000 years ago? The Coso Artifact has disappeared and it is not to be studied using modern technology. There are three suppositions however when it comes to its origins: one, that it was made by an extremely intelligent ancient civilization such as Atlantis; two, that it came from the future and three, that it is of alien origin.
#3 Baigong Pipes
Located on top of Mountain Baigong, the Baigong pipes lead directly into a pyramid. The interesting thing about these rusty pipes is that no signs of civilizations in the area has ever been unearthed there. This means that the reason for which these have been made is still unknown. However, they are of an uniform size and they do have a special pattern, a salt lake being situated in their close vicinity.
#4 Ancient Sandstone Xylophone
The link between humans and music is older than any of us can imagine. In the early 20th century, scientists have discovered these ancient sandstones and they believed them to have been used for grinding grains. It took a lot of time and a fortunate accident before their real purpose was discovered; it seems that this ancient gadget is actually a musical instrument, this being discovered by accident by an archaeologist.
#5 Roman Dodecahedra
While there are many fascinating Roman artifacts that can easily pose as ancient gadgets, this is by far one of the best. Amazingly enough, it was found in several countries, including Germany, France and Switzerland. Even though many archaeologists have tried to study it, no clear purpose was identified. They were able to identify certain symbols on it there are related to the Zodiac but they are not certain whether it was used for surveying or it just had a decorative purpose.
#6 Mystery airplanes
Discovered in Columbia, these figurines are believed to have been made by a tribe named Quimbaya, somewhere around 1000 CE. The resemblance to an airplane is uncanny, as they have tails, landing gears and wings just like any modern day plane. Scientists have rebuilt models after them only to prove that they worked. There are some scientists who say that these are only stylized fish or insects.
#7 The Phaistos Disc
This ancient gadget is made from clay and it is believed to date back to the second millennium. Just like other ancient gadgets, its origin is unknown and so is the meaning or the intent purpose. The disc has been unearthed in Crete and it has a wide array of symbols imprinted on it, some of which have been identified as people, animals, tools or plants.
#8 Byzantine Tablet
While we rely on modern tablets for a lot of things, so did the people from Byzantine culture rely on their ancient gadgets. This tablet is comprised of five panels that are stacked together and each of them has a frame and a wax coating. It is believed that they were used for making note on inventories or appraisals.
#9 Baghdad Battery
Perhaps this is one of the strangest ancient gadgets to have ever been discovered. While it is clearly a battery, it does not explain why would people who lived in the ancient world need it. It was found in Iraq in 1936 and ever since then scientists have constructed replicas in order to prove that it actually works.
#10 Dropa Stones
These stones are unique ancient gadgets and many people have said they belong to an ancient or alien culture. They were discovered on a burial site in the Himalayan mountains and each of these stones is actually a one-foot wide disc, with a simple hole in the center. The interesting thing about these is that they are extremely old; scientists have placed them to have existed as far as 12.000 years ago.
Modern day gadgets are extremely useful for us. And maybe it was just like that for ancient cultures, relying on the gadgets presented above for every day living.
Enkele dagen geleden werd door een passagier in een vliegtuig een bijzonder opname gemaakt van een UFO.
Het gaat om een vlucht in de buurt van het Engelse Liverpool en je ziet het toestel via het passagiersraam langs de wolken over het Engelse landschap vliegen.
Dan is er in de verte een klein maar helder object waar te nemen, wat, naar het lijkt, als het ware met het vliegtuig mee vliegt.
In de onderstaande video zie je bewegende beelden van het vreemde object. Dat het een intelligent bestuurde UFO is, blijkt heel duidelijk na precies een minuut, waar je het ineens ziet accelereren en met grote snelheid wegschieten.
Het schijnt dat er rond dezelfde tijd meer UFO-meldingen waren rondom Liverpool. De plaatselijke krant, The Liverpool Echo, rapporteert in diezelfde periode maar liefst negen verschillende waarnemingen.
Ook werd er een vreemd voorval gerapporteerd vanuit Formby, een stadje onder de rook van Liverpool. Hier zagen mensen een vreemd object in de lucht hangen.
“Het licht zag er uit als een ster, maar groter. Het was fel en wit en het pulseerde ook. Eerst dacht ik dat het een vliegtuig was, maar later besefte ik dat dit niet het geval geweest kon zijn omdat het object stil hing".
The UK House of Lords is being questioned about the stalled release of their remaining UFO files. That and other space and UFO stories on this episode of Spacing Out!
Stories discussed on this episode: – Stalled UFO file release questioned in the UK House of Lords – Hundreds see UFO and hear loud noises in UK town – California residents catch blue UFO on video – Expect large aliens, says scientist
Former Obama Pilot Says Virtually All Pilots Believe In UFOs
Former Obama Pilot Says Virtually All Pilots Believe In UFOs
Veteran pilot Andrew Danziger, who have 28 years of experience in the cockpit, claims to have spotted unidentified white disc hovering in the sky while on a routine flight across America. Danziger, who flew US Barack Obama in 2008 campaign tour, further asserts that virtually all pilots believe in UFOs.
The American pilot says he encountered a white disc floating through the sky during his flight in April 1989 between Kansas and Iowa. He reportedly saw the mysterious aerial disc transformed into a giant red ball and glowed for approximately 30 seconds before completely disappeared into the clouds.
Danziger says that the captain also witnessed the UFO for around 40 minutes before it started to change colour and vanished.
According to Danziger, the UFO looked the same to the moon faintly visible through the thin fog. He says that they had no idea about what they had saw, but certain it was not from here.
When Danziger shared their sighting to other pilots, he was amazed to know that many pilots often saw UFOs while traversing the skies.
Danziger reveals that they were not supposed to talk about UFOs, so they swore the station agent on duty to secrecy and agreed to remain silent about their incident to any of their co-workers.
But the veteran pilot is confident that he is not the only one in his profession to have witnessed an unexplained flying object in the skies. He reiterates that virtually all pilots believe in UFOs.

Derbyshire, UK – 29th march 2015, 21.32 hours
I went out to the back of my property to have a smoke, it was nightime and the skies to the west were pretty clear, and below the tree line which has no leaves on it i noticed what appeared to be a very bright star like object shining. At first i thought it was a star , and then noticed it bobbing up and down slightly. I ran in to get my i phone and took a cuople of minutes of video and then decided to start taking pictures of which i managed to get 2 of , i went to take a third photo and it was instantaniously gone.
Island View Restaurant, Taling Ngam, Koh Samui, Thailand – 28 March 2015
Just after sunset I noticed far into the distant horizon towards the mainland what looked like a (my first thought) was a fast moving plane but one that produced an overly large v-shape jet-stream heading our way. then I realised it wasn’t coming towards us but was instead heading upwards and at a huge speed. In fact it reminded me of a shuttle launch or even film of a ballistic missile in a matter of seconds it had disappeared up into the upper atmosphere. My girlfriend and I were marvelling about seeing this and had turned away from the horizon for a few moments. When we looked back we were surprised to see an object on fire, a fireball, a meteor falling back in an arch to Earth. It was freaky as we both thought intially that we were witnessing a plane crashing but what was wrong here was the size of the trail left in the sky also the size of the trial. We waited to here a concussion of some sort but heard/felt nothing. Then the strange part the “fireball” trail left in the sky stayed in the sky for about 20 minutes after the the object had disappeared/crashed into the horizon. It was as if the sky/atmosphere had been superheated everyone at the restaurant witnessed this and the place was buzzing. We took some pictures of the “trail”. We searched for any news reports or other sightings but have come across nothing… something happened which on reflection was a missile knocking something out of the sky, it could have been a military exercise but it appear way more real and unexplainable than that…

US 278 in Lee Co Mississippi, over Town Creek right before you turn off onto Hwy 145 to go to Nettleton, Mississippi – Saturday in August of 2012 around I think August 4th.
If you notice the bright object in the cloud at the lower right hand corner. My parents and I were traveling back from Tupelo Mississippi on US 278 toward Nettleton, Mississippi before lunch. Right before you turn left to go on Hwy 145 to Nettleton, there are fields and a creek called Town Creek. I was watching the one rain cloud and noticed a rainbow on the left side of the road. In the rainbow I could seen an object flying and then it zoomed over the road to the right hand side over the field to a cloud. I took out my non smart phone and took a few pictures of it floating in the cloud. I did not know that I got it on camera until I uploaded the picture.

Kiev capital city of Ukraine – around 2012 Here at the Kiev (capital) city of Ukraine we’ve seen many UFOs at the night skies. They were fast flying ships at the high altitude, flying straight and non-straight, changing their directions of flight. An airplane or a helicopter cannot fly zigzagues or anything like that.
Russian Government Calls UFO Crash a Gas Balloon Explosion
Russian Government Calls UFO Crash a Gas Balloon Explosion
In what might be called a blast from the UFO past, a UFO crashed in the Siberian town of Chita this week and the Russian government blamed it on a “gas balloon explosion.” Balloon? That is so 1947! And gas? Was there a swamp nearby?
The UFO crash occurred on April 9th, 2015, in Chita, a city in southeastern Siberia with a population of over 324,000. Eyewitnesses said it “fell from the sky.” Chita resident Vladimir Milovanov described what he experienced to a local TV reporter.
I heard an explosion and saw a huge pillar of black smoke around 11 or 12 a.m..
No one was injured but the UFO or the concussion from the explosion caused damage to a nearby building and the UFO made a crater in a field where the huge pillar of black smoke arose. The object left a crater where metal wreckage was found. Based on the crater and the damaged parts, the UFO was estimated to be one meter in diameter.
The debris was collected and sent somewhere for testing, possible to the local office of EMERCOM (Ministry of Emergency Situations). The Eastern Military District said there were no operations in the area at the time. It was a spokesperson for the Ministry of Internal Affairs who issued this statement:
The object could not be identified. It does not resemble anything. One of the theories [of what happened] – gas balloon explosion.
Sounds like the Ministry needs to update its list of UFO excuses. As you may remember, the 1947 Roswell UFO incident was initially blamed on a weather balloon. And the 1966 UFO sightings in Michigan made the phrase “swamp gas” famous.
This is not the first UFO seen in Chita - another was reported by multiple witnesses in 2009.
(N.Morgan) UFO accounts can be found all through out history, from ancient times, until today.
Is it possible that UFOs or alien beings we not only involved in, but actively participating in the world wars?
In this article we will be covering accounts of UFOs being seen and encountered during the Vietnam war.
The video above gives one of the most intriguing and scary accounts in which a patrol boat encounters a UFO and watches it destroy one of their companion patrol boats.
In the Vietnam conflict, UFOs were referred to by our military as Enemy Helicopters.
The Vietnamese didn’t obtain helicopters until later in the war.
Another intriguing account took place in South Vietnam in June 1966 rarely had reason to speculate about UFOs — at least until the little-known Nha Trang UFO incident took place.
The Nha Trang incident if thorough documentation can be obtained, could become a UFO “classic” according to one NICAP investigator familiar with the case.
The sighting allegedly occurred during one of the most active periods of the Vietnam conflict, and understandably received little publicity at the time.
Now, however, with American participation in the war concluded, numerous war-related incidents are beginning to emerge.
One of these involves a startling UFO sighting witnessed by possibly thousands of soldiers stationed in Vietnam at the time.
An initial investigation was conducted by NICAP investigator Raymond Fowler, who was able to to contact an eyewitness to the event.
According to the witness, eight bulldozers were operating that night cutting roads around “Hawk Hill,” located less than one-half mile to the west of the American compound.
On another part of the base, two “sky-Raider” prop-driven aircraft were warming up on the airstrip located less than a mile to the east.
At the same time, a Shell Oil tanker lay anchored in the bay about a mile t the southwest.
The witness, an enlisted soldier holding the rank of Specialist 5, had gathered with an undetermined number of fellow soldiers around 8 p.m. in an open area of the base to watch an outdoor movie.
Outdoor films had become possible only recently, according to the witness, thanks to the arrival and installation of six, new, independently-operated, 100 KW diesel-powered generators.
One of these generators had been installed near the compound where the soldiers were seated and was being used to supply power for the movie projector.
The film had been underway for some time, according to the witness’s account, when suddenly, at approximately 9:45 p.m., the sky to the north lit up!
The GIs glanced up and saw what at first appeared to be a flare exploding above a ridge to the north.
“At first we thought it was a flare which are going off all the time and then we found that it wasn’t” recounts a letter from the witness mailed home a few days later.
“It came from the north and was moving from real slow to real fast…Some of the jet fighter pilots which were here…said it looked to be about 25,000 feet (in altitude)… then the panic broke loose.
It dropped right towards us and stopped dead still about 300 to 500 feet up.
It made this little valley and the mountains around look like it was the middle of the day; it lit up everything.
“Then it went up and I mean up.
It went straight up and completely out of sight in about 2-3 seconds.
Everybody is still talking about it.”
Had the soldier’s letter or his recent account of the incident stopped there, the case would probably not have come to the attention of either NICAP or the officials from Washington that reportedly visited the base the next day.
But the letter and the witness’s account of the incident continues:
“That really shook everyone is that it stopped, or maybe it didn’t, but anyway our generator stopped and everything was black.
At the Air Force Base about one half mile from here all generators stopped.
The engines on two planes that were the runway ready to take off stopped, and there wasn’t a car, truck, plane or anything that ran for about four minutes.”
In addition, the eight bulldozers working on nearby hills also ceased operating according to the witness.
Another account I found is by Robert “Doc” Waltz who shares his own experience with a UFO encounter during the Vietnam conflict.
He states:
I am a Vietnam vet.
I was stationed in Tay Ninh Province with the 25th Infantry Division in 1969.
One night in late summer or early fall of 1969, while at Tay Ninh Basecamp, I saw one single light, at a high elevation, travel in a straight line across the sky and stop.
It then traveled in another direction, again in a straight line, at a high rate of speed, and stop again. It did this maneuver several times….flying across the night sky at a high rate of speed, and stop at will.
There was no observable tail (like a shooting star). There was no sound.
There were no blinking or pulsating lights.
Just this single star-like light, but it did not twinkle like a star.
As I recall, when it came to it’s many stops, it never gave the appearance of hovering, or slowly moving like a chopper (Besides, it was too high up to be a chopper.)
In other words, when it stopped its flight path, it came to a complete stop.
Then it shot across the sky in another straight line and would stop again.
I brought this to the attention of some buddies, and we watched it continue to do this until our duties brought our attention back to the ground.
10 Most Compelling Pieces Of Evidence That Prove Aliens Have Visited Earth
10 Most Compelling Pieces Of Evidence That Prove Aliens Have Visited Earth
They’ve snuck into our bedrooms as thieves in the night and taken our children, our parents, our wives and loved ones, with absolute impunity and with zero regard for our wellbeing.
ERIC DRAPER/AP/Press Association Images
The UFO phenomenon, whether for believers or survivors, tends to be relegated to small town hicks, paranoid university stoners and their dropout brethren. The simple truth is, critical thinking in the information age has refined our suspension of disbelief into a sharply honed skepticism and natural scoff. The very notion that we’ve been visited by intelligent lifeforms from another world is, along with myths of Norse Gods and witchcraft, consigned to Hollywood films and teen fan fiction, and that’s okay, right?
Wrong.
Spoiler alert: If you think you’re safe at home, behind locked doors, think again. The next time you open your eyes, you might find yourself naked in the woods, missing three weeks of memories and carrying a whole new set of nightmares.
10. Drawings, Paintings, Carvings, & Other Records Of Ancient Times
20th Century Fox
With humans having walked the earth for an estimated 200,000 years, some might call the following a little short sighted. And yet here we are. I will take everything that came before the advent of television (1939) and stuff it in the first section. I do so with the utmost pride and sincerity.
Sure, a lot happened during the first 199 thousand, 926 years, but sources being what they were, let’s just sum it up to one thing; drawings. A ton of them. All over the world, and throughout the ages, drawings, paintings, carvings, quilts and markings. They may each tell a different story, but in the end they all say the same thing, “we are not alone”.
Cave Painting (Top Left Corner of Image Above)
First there’s this 15 thousand year old French cave painting. It is what it is, let’s not dilly-dally.
The Lolladoff Plate (Top Right Corner of Image Above)
Followed closely by the Lolladoff Plate. This 12 thousand year old stone dish was found in Nepal. Note the central disc and spiral out of which there seems to appear a reptile, followed by a ship (space vagina?) followed by bacteria or atoms and then another reptile and in the outer edge, at the center of it all? That’s right. A mother-flippin’ Alien.
Sanscrit Scroll (Second Image Down on the Left Hand Side of Image Above)
Another example, one of literally thousands which we will not explore here, is this ancient Indian scroll. It depicts Vimanas. A Vimanas is a temple. It also means “flying palace” and they’re described in many of the Sanskrit epics, which are some of the oldest written texts of the known world. I could spend all day talking about these alone, so let’s move on to thousands of years later and across the globe.
Sigiburg France Sighting (Second Image Down on the Right Hand Side of the Image Above)
In 776, Sigiburg castle in France, the Saxons had surrounded the French. They were going to storm the castle and in so doing they would win the war and stop Emperor Charlemagne from turning them into Christians. Suddenly there appeared before them giant “Flaming shields” floating in the sky. They burned red, orange, yellow, blue and white light. Upon seeing these strange flaming discs, the Saxons took it as a sign from the Gods, and they fell back… This battle united Rome under Christianity. A 12th century manuscript, the ” Annales Laurissenses”, depicts the events which took place.
Madonna and Saint Giovannino (Bottom Left Corner of the Image Above)
The 15th century saw a plethora of alien doodles all over Europe. The Palazzo Vecchio in Florence has the now infamous painting of the Madonna and Saint Giovannino. Also known to us classless North Americans as Madonna and Saint-James. The original is depicted above, but what really blows one’s mind is the detail work. Zooming in we clearly see a bright disk like object in the daytime sky. It’s being watched by a man and his dog.
Notre-Dame Basilica Tapestry (Center of Bottom Row in the Image Above)
This next one from the same period still hangs at the Notre-Dame Basilica in Burgandy. Though it’s title is unknown we can see what appear to be… flying hats? For centuries scholars just assumed these were artists depictions of disk shaped “angel clouds”. Whether you believe these sightings to be “angel clouds” or aliens, I’ll leave to you, because everybody is entitled to chose their own brand of nonsense.
(Not Pictured Above)
On April 4th, 1561, above Nuremberg Germany another strange sighting occurred. This one can be seen in a famous 16th century woodcut by Hans Glaser. It was described as “A very frightful spectacle.” The sky appeared to fill with cylindrical objects from which red, black, orange and blue white disks and globes emerged. Crosses and tubes resembling cannon barrels also appeared whereupon the objects promptly “began to fight one another.” It is known as The Battle Over Nuremberg or the 1561 Celestial Phenomena over Nuremberg.
Baptism of Christ (Bottom Right Corner of the Image Above)
Jumping over to 1710, we’ve got the Baptism of Christ by Aert de Gelder. It’s still hanging in Fitzwilliam museum in Cambridge, England and- “What the fudge?!” you ask? Oh, no don’t worry, just an angel cloud… by the way angels have been represented as guys with wings and hippy hair since Theodosius I around (379–395)… why these people 13 hundred years later would represent them as angel clouds, and why they would represent clouds as disks at all, I’ll leave you to answer…
There are literally hundreds of thousands of ancient world representations of what we now call aliens and I would love to go over all of them. There’s something almost soothing about knowing those encounters occurred several centuries before our great ancestors were even conceived. I mean, if they wanted to harvest us for organs or influence our cultures towards some kind of end game, they would’ve done it already right? If they are out there, the damage was done centuries before you or I were ever born, and there’s nothing we can do, so there’s nothing to worry about right?
Wrong again boyo.
Since the dawn of the atomic age these interstellar demon spawn have been stealing us from our beds, conducting horrifying experiments on our unsuspecting populace, kidnapping our children and corrupting our society from the inside. They’ve done so in close consort with various governments and officials. They’ve done so at the expense of our health, our environment, our genetic lineage and our sanity. Thousands know about it and even act as accomplices.
They’ve snuck into our bedrooms as thieves in the night and taken our children, our parents, our wives and loved ones, with absolute impunity and with zero regard for our wellbeing.
Let’s explore some of the best documented cases. We’ve all heard about the 1966, Betty and Barney Hill abduction, we all know about the Roswell crash of 1947, I’m not even going to waste your time on those well worn trails, we’re going deep here people, so strap yourself in.
Okay, I lied. I admit it. I lied. And I don’t feel bad about it either. I promised to jump right up to the second quarter of the 20th century, but I just can’t do it. Because that wouldn’t be fair. It wouldn’t be fair to all you paranoid, conspiracy hungry, culture junkies out there, thirsty for that little bit of mystery and wonder amidst your workaday world. Before getting into the strange events that happened during World War II, or the bizarre phenomena which basically started the modern Ufology movement, I must first address the thing that came before it. The thing that, some say, started it all.
It was an international marvel of the unexplained, and at the height of the industrial revolution, and more than 20 years before the Great War, the world was both shaken and stirred. Reports of mystery airships were popping up everywhere. In the United States the sightings began in the west and spread eastward.
The first major case happened in New Mexico on March 26th 1880 in the skies above a small town called Galisteo Junction, now known as Lamy. Voices were heard, voices which seemed to be coming from the sky above. When the people looked up they saw a circular ship, “monstrous in size”. It’s movements were described as approaching rapidly and then slowed to an elegant waltz across the sky.
It is said that the occupants of these ships were human, but their clothing and behaviour was bizarre. The occupants of these ships, when spoken too, claimed to be from Mars. A few artefacts, a cup and a beautiful flower wrapped in silk-like paper, were said to have fallen from the ship.
The following day, an unknown, well dressed, stranger, identified only as a “collector of curiosities” came into town. He told the local authorities that the artefacts were of Asiatic origin. He offered a large some of money for the finds. So large a sum that the depot agent who had found them couldn’t resist. The collector and the artefacts were never seen again.
On November 18th, 1896, a Californian man by the name of Colonel H.G. Shaw told reporters he had seen what appeared to be a landed space craft. It had a diameter of 25 feet and was around 150 feet in total length. Three slender 7ft tall beings of unknown origin are said to have stepped off the ship. They attempted to kidnap Shaw, and he narrowly escaped. The ship then lifted off the ground and sped off, out of sight.
There are sevbe received with disrespect, not unless you assumed that thousands of Americans had lost their senses, a discomforting notion which some scientists, editors and skeptics seem to embrace.”eral more mystery airship sightings, each one more complex and convoluted then the next. From the members of the secret “Aero Club” to the reported uses of an unknown “N.B. gas”, a substance, people claimed, made objects lighter than air.
An April 24th, 1897 report of Harper’s Weekly sums up the Phantom Airship phenomenon of the 1800’s nicely. It states: “The airship as a practical invention is believed to be so nearly ripe that a story of its appearance in the sky is not necessarily to
8. The Foo Fighters
Most of us are familiar with the band helmed by Dave Grohl, Nirvana’s ex drummer. But many have no idea where they got their name.
During the second world war, the greatest armed conflict the world had ever known, something we did must’ve got their attention.
The sightings officially began in Nuremberg (Aliens love Germany?) in November of 1944, but there had been whispers about them for years prior, only with less frequency. Strange “mystery airships” were popping up everywhere and being seen by both pilots and the men on the ground. The Allied forces believed they were covert weaponry from the Axis powers. Ironically the German and Japanese forces reported the same up their military chain and they assumed they were products of our Allied forces.
They were described as fiery glowing lights, moving fast in the sky or low to the ground. They ranged in colour from red, to yellow, orange and white (sound familiar?). It was said they would toy with our aircrafts, following our every manoeuvre before making impossible manoeuvres of their own and then disappearing into the night. All sides of the war were unanimous, these craft, these, discs, these lights, were under intelligent control. They were not some natural phenomenon. Efforts to out-manoeuvre them failed. Attempts to shoot them down failed. The pilots were scared, and there was nothing anybody could do about it.
The Pacific sightings were different from those in Europe. There, they were described as flaming discs which just hung in the sky. They rarely followed any of the fighters. A TIMES magazine report from 1945 states that B-29 aircraft fire took one of these down. The ball simply broke up into several pieces crashing down, lighting several buildings on fire. No pieces were ever reported to be found.
The Europeans on our side dubbed them Kraut fireballs. In the Pacific Theater of Operations they were just called balls of fire. The North Americans called them Foo Fighters.
The name can be credited to Donald J. Meiers, a radar operator for the 415th Night Fighter Squadron from Chicago. Meiers and another pilot by the name of Ed Schleuter were chased by one of these strange red balls of fire on the afternoon of November 27th, 1944. In their mission debriefing with S-2 Intelligence Officer Fritz Ringwald, Meiers was agitated. When asked what had happened he exclaimed, “… it was another one of those foo fighters!” he stormed out of the debriefing room and history was made.
In January of 1953, as a result of the Project Bluebook investigations, the Robertson Panel met and attempted to explain the sightings. They suggested electromagnetic phenomena of unknown nature, electrostatic phenomena of unknown nature and St. Elmo’s fire. In the end, the report states events remain “unexplained to this day”, but there were two things they did know for sure. These lights in the sky never posed a threat to military aircraft and it was suggested that “If the term “flying saucers” had been popular in 1943–1945, these objects would have certainly been so labeled.”
At the time, everybody took these sightings extremely seriously, scientists from all over the world and both sides of the war were brought together to figure out what they were and who they were fighting for. The answers have yet to come
7. 1947, Kenneth Arnold, The First Flying Saucer & The Dawn Of Ufology
On June 24, 1947, a private Idaho pilot by the name of Kenneth Arnold was flying from Chehalis, to Yakima, Washington, on a business trip. It was during this flight that he spotted a string of nine unidentified, shining, metallic, flying objects. The objects flew past Mount Rainier, moving at supersonic speed. A feat modern aircraft had only recently achieved and up until then, only in nose dives. Arnold clocked the crafts at a minimum of 1,200 miles an hour (1,932 km/hr).
A U.S. Marine Corps C-46 transport airplane had crashed near Mount Rainier. A $5,000 reward was offered for the discovery of the lost plane. The skies were completely clear. He spotted a light coming from behind him, and after pulling all the necessary manoeuvres and even rolling his windows down to make sure it wasn’t simply a reflection, he concluded it was another craft.
30 seconds after seeing the first flash of light, Arnold saw a series of bright flashes in the distance North of Mount Rainier, a total of nine of them were now flying in a straight line to his left. The objects flew in a long chain, had no tail and emitted no contrails. The objects approached him and suddenly flew passed him.
He said they moved, like “saucers skipping on water” and with that, the term “Flying Saucer” was born.
The objects were said to hold a diagonal echelon formation, all lined up like a flock of birds, and they weaved from side to side (“like the tail of a Chinese kite” as he later stated). They darted through the valleys and around the smaller mountain peaks and would occasionally flip or bank on their edges, in unison, as they turned or manoeuvred. Their motion caused bright, mirror-like flashes of light. The encounter gave him an “eerie feeling”. He first thought he was seeing test flights of a new U.S. military aircraft.
When he did the calculation, he estimated their speed at over 1,700 miles per hour (2,700 km/h). This was about three times faster than any manned aircraft in 1947. Not knowing the exact distance where the objects faded from view, he decided to conservatively and arbitrarily round his previous figure down to 1,200 miles (1,900 km) an hour, still faster than any known aircraft of that era.
Army pilots told him that briefings before combat often mentioned seeing “objects of similar shape and design” and they assured him that he “wasn’t dreaming or going crazy.”
In a July 19th interview, Arnold had this to say, “The disks are not from any foreign country. The Army would give the answers if it could — if they don’t have the explanation now, they certainly could do something to find out. If the Army has no explanations the disks must be — ‘and I know this sounds crazy’ — from another planet.”
In an interview in April of the following year he stated, “Since my first observations and report of the so-called ‘flying disks’ I have spent a great deal of money and time thoroughly investigating the subject… There is no doubt in my mind that these objects are aircraft of a strange design, and material that is unknown to the civilisations of this earth.”
Did that at least creep you out a little bit? No? Okay, well, let’s check out the case it lead right into, a case Kenneth Arnold himself spent much time and money investigating.

New Light on Our Accelerating Universe --"Not as Fast as We Thought"
New Light on Our Accelerating Universe --"Not as Fast as We Thought"
Certain types of supernovae, or exploding stars, are more diverse than previously thought, a University of Arizona-led team of astronomers has discovered. The results, reported in two papers published in the Astrophysical Journal, have implications for big cosmological questions, such as how fast the universe has been expanding since the Big Bang. Most importantly, the findings hint at the possibility that the acceleration of the expansion of the universe might not be quite as fast as textbooks say.
The team, led by UA astronomer Peter A. Milne, discovered that type Ia supernovae, which have been considered so uniform that cosmologists have used them as cosmic "beacons" to plumb the depths of the universe, actually fall into different populations. The findings are analogous to sampling a selection of 100-watt light bulbs at the hardware store and discovering that they vary in brightness.
"We found that the differences are not random, but lead to separating Ia supernovae into two groups, where the group that is in the minority near us are in the majority at large distances -- and thus when the universe was younger," said Milne, an associate astronomer with the UA's Department of Astronomy and Steward Observatory. "There are different populations out there, and they have not been recognized. The big assumption has been that as you go from near to far, type Ia supernovae are the same. That doesn't appear to be the case."
The discovery casts new light on the currently accepted view of the universe expanding at a faster and faster rate, pulled apart by a poorly understood force called dark energy. This view is based on observations that resulted in the 2011 Nobel Prize for Physics awarded to three scientists, including UA alumnus Brian P. Schmidt.
The Nobel laureates discovered independently that many supernovae appeared fainter than predicted because they had moved farther away from Earth than they should have done if the universe expanded at the same rate. This indicated that the rate at which stars and galaxies move away from each other is increasing; in other words, something has been pushing the universe apart faster and faster.
"The idea behind this reasoning," Milne explained, "is that type Ia supernovae happen to be the same brightness -- they all end up pretty similar when they explode. Once people knew why, they started using them as mileposts for the far side of the universe.
"The faraway supernovae should be like the ones nearby because they look like them, but because they're fainter than expected, it led people to conclude they're farther away than expected, and this in turn has led to the conclusion that the universe is expanding faster than it did in the past."
Milne and his co-authors -- Ryan J. Foley of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Peter J. Brown at Texas A&M University and Gautham Narayan of the National Optical Astronomy Observatory, or NOAO, in Tucson -- observed a large sample of type Ia supernovae in ultraviolet and visible light. For their study, they combined observations made by the Hubble Space Telescope with those made by NASA's Swift satellite.
The data collected with Swift were crucial because the differences between the populations -- slight shifts toward the red or the blue spectrum -- are subtle in visible light, which had been used to detect type Ia supernovae previously, but became obvious only through Swift's dedicated follow-up observations in the ultraviolet.

"These are great results," said Neil Gehrels, principal investigator of the Swift satellite, who co-authored the first paper. "I am delighted that Swift has provided such important observations, which have been made toward a science goal that is completely independent of the primary mission. It demonstrates the flexibility of our satellite to respond to new phenomena swiftly."
"The realization that there were two groups of type Ia supernovae started with Swift data," Milne said. "Then we went through other datasets to see if we see the same. And we found the trend to be present in all the other datasets.
"As you're going back in time, we see a change in the supernovae population," he added. "The explosion has something different about it, something that doesn't jump out at you when you look at it in optical light, but we see it in the ultraviolet.
"Since nobody realized that before, all these supernovae were thrown in the same barrel. But if you were to look at 10 of them nearby, those 10 are going to be redder on average than a sample of 10 faraway supernovae."
The authors conclude that some of the reported acceleration of the universe can be explained by color differences between the two groups of supernovae, leaving less acceleration than initially reported. This would, in turn, require less dark energy than currently assumed.

"We're proposing that our data suggest there might be less dark energy than textbook knowledge, but we can't put a number on it," Milne said. "Until our paper, the two populations of supernovae were treated as the same population. To get that final answer, you need to do all that work again, separately for the red and for the blue population."
The authors pointed out that more data have to be collected before scientists can understand the impact on current measures of dark energy. Scientists and instruments in Arizona will play important roles in these studies, according to Milne. These include projects led by NOAO; the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, or LSST, whose primary mirror was produced at the UA; and a camera built by the UA's Imaging Technology Lab for the Super-LOTIS telescope on Kitt Peak southwest of Tucson. Super-LOTIS is a robotic telescope that will use the new camera to follow up on gamma-ray bursts -- the "muzzle flash" of a supernova -- detected by Swift.
Why You Can't See the Milky Way in the Spring Night Sky
Why You Can't See the Milky Way in the Spring Night Sky

Now that the bright moon has moved out of the evening sky, skywatchers have a great chance to view the early-spring stars. And yet, even stargazers who are far from the scourge of light pollution will notice that there is something missing from the current view of the Northern Hemisphere sky.
Even under dark and pristine skies, you would have great difficulty seeing it, as it now appears to run almost completely around the horizon. Normally appearing as a faint, irregular ribbon of light spanning the sky, the Milky Way usually can be seen at most times of the year, provided that the night sky is very clear and moonless. (However, it can never be seen in brilliantly lit big cities, such as New York.) [Best Night Sky Events of April 2015 (Stargazing Maps)]
The best time of the year to see the Milky Way is during the late summer and early fall, when its brightest portions run from the southwest to the northeast parts of the sky and arch nearly overhead.
The queen 'wigged out'
But, at this time of the year, during the evening hours — even with perfect conditions — the Milky Way is invisible as it runs along the horizon, where it is hidden by the denser atmosphere near the ground.
If you look nearly overhead this week at around midnight local time, you won't see the Milky Way, but rather a fine star cluster that appears as a faint shimmering patch of light on clear, moonless nights, best viewed with a good pair of binoculars. This pattern of stars is the constellation that owes its name to a theft: Coma Berenices (also called "Berenice's Hair").
Berenice was an Egyptian queen, the wife of Ptolemy Euergetes, who reigned around 250 B.C. She sacrificed her beautiful amber tresses, the story goes, and placed them in the Temple of Venus at Zephyrium, as she had vowed to do if her husband returned victorious from his war against Babylon. But the queen's hair was stolen from the temple, and she became distraught.
The astronomer Conon eventually convinced the disconsolate queen that Zeus himself had taken the locks and put them up into the sky. Such is the story of how the cluster got its name, though this region of the sky was not generally recognized as the separate constellation of Coma Berenices until the beginning of the 17th century.

Coma Berenices up, Milky Way down
There is a good reason Coma Berenices is highest in the sky when the Milky Way appears at its lowest.
From our Earthly vantage point, every star that we see in the night sky is part of our galaxy — the Milky Way. The sun and our solar system are situated in one of our galaxy's spiral arms and are located about two-thirds of the way from the center to the far edge of the main part of our galaxy.
The Milky Way is shaped like a disc, and most of its mass and stars lie in the relatively flat "galactic plane." The two points that are farthest from the galactic plane are called the galactic poles. As it turns out, the north galactic pole is located very close to Coma Berenices. So, when Coma Berenices is highest above the horizon, as is the case now, the galactic plane (sometimes also referred to as the galactic equator) runs more or less around the horizon and is usually hidden by low-lying haze.
So that's why the Milky Way runs low when Berenice's Hair rides high.
Or, as the late popularizer of the sky Hans A. Rey wrote in his popular guidebook, "The Stars: A New Way to See Them" (Houghton Mifflin, 1952), "No hair can ever get into the milk, celestially speaking."

Eleven fast radio bursts from space seem to follow a strange mathematical pattern, according to a new study – and it has researchers scratching their heads.
According to study co–authors Michael Hippke of the Institute of Data Analysis in Neukirchen-Vluyn, Germany, and John Learned of the University of Hawaii in Manoa, the bursts– which were first detected in 2001 – all had dispersion measures that were integer multiples of the same number: 187.5. “The astronomers that found [the bursts] have not seen such things before and do not understand them,” Learned told FoxNews.com.
Nobody knows what causes fast radio bursts, known as FRBs. They only last a few milliseconds, and only one so far has been captured live (by the Parkes Telescope in Australia last year). Though the bursts release just as much energy in a few milliseconds as the sun does in a month, their brevity indicates that the source must be small, with estimates being several hundred miles across at most.
Researchers use dispersion measures, which records how much “space gunk” the burst has passed through, to estimate the distance an FRB has travelled. For instance, a low frequency FRB will have more gunk on it, indicating a longer trip, whereas a high frequency FRB will be cleaner, indicating it came from closer to Earth.
The fact that all of the FRBs’ dispersion measures are integer multiples of 187.5 has, according to Hippke and Learned’s team’s calculations, a 5 in 10,000 chance of being coincidental. The dispersion measures also indicate that their origin is relatively close to Earth, but unlikely from within our own galaxy.
There are numerous theories on where these bursts came from, including speculation that the messages are from extraterrestrial intelligence. To the scientific community, however, this theory doesn’t really hold water, and is seen as more of a last resort only after all other avenues have been exhausted.
“We think these are likely from some very energetic process, like a burst from a high magnetic field neutron star or energy released [when] two neutron stars merge,” Professor Maura McLaughlin of the West Virginia University Center for Astrophysics explained. “The thing that made people think they were possibly from ETs was a recent paper that showed that one fundamental property is quantized in a way that wouldn't be expected if the signals were naturally occurring. However, I imagine that correlation will totally go away once more are discovered.”
Learned himself is dubious of an alien source as well, noting that he and Hippke only noted the dispersion measures’ “peculiar” pattern, and that they may even be coming from Earth. “We are now leaning more towards a terrestrial, anthropogenic interpretation,” he said. “At this point I would place my money on some sort of governmental satellite, not a natural phenomena, but I would not bet much. More data, which reportedly [is] being analyzed but which we have no insider information about yet, will be most interesting and refute or confirm our hypotheses.” He also noted that he’d only look to an ETI interpretation once all other possibilities have been eliminated.
As for McLaughlin, she believes there’s no way the FRBs could be messages from aliens, as the signals are very broadband and emitted over a wide range of radio frequencies. “It would take a LOT of energy for an alien civilization to produce these bursts - they'd need to harness the energy of many, many suns - and there's no real advantage for communication to send a signal over such a large bandwidth.”
Unfortunately, most of the claims concerning undersea bases are plain stupid. Nevertheless, some make you go hmm. Hence, let us start with the stupid.
Thanks to Google Earth, some believe 2000 feet beneath the ocean in an area near Point Dume, Malibu, California is an underwater alien base. The vehicles these aliens pilot are called “USOs” (Unidentified Submersible/marine Objects) as opposed to the more familiar UFOs which do not enter or exit from oceans/lakes as these apparently do.
The aforementioned base is a merely a seamount formation. Due to its flat appearance and supposed pillars, kooks are agape. There are problems for Jimmy Church, the crank radio host who has endorsed and publicized this structure, though.
Nature has long created objects that appear man-made and all of them are vastly more impressive and symmetrical than the Point Dume formation. Hell, even a fool like Lee Speigel does not appear to believe this gibberish.
Nevertheless, it is understandable Church is a fool. His guest list includes flakes like Richard Dolan, Kerry Cassidy, David Wilcox, and Jason Martell. In research, you are what you eat; hence, Church has chronic dysentery (1)(2)(3).
George Sauder is perhaps the most popular exponent of underground base theories around. I agree with him there may well be some funky subsea bases around. Johnathan Gray’s interesting “64 Secrets Still Ahead of us” discusses a document Sauder unearthed dating from 1966, detailing the use of underwater bases by the United States going back decades. It is good verifiable documentation. Nonetheless, Sauder should avoid mixing with kooks like Church too often (4)(5).
David Hatcher Childress Lurking Beneath the Waves.
The reason I say this is no matter how interesting the subsea base subject could potentially be, king David Hatcher Childress has leaped on-board. In 2005, he republished Ivan T. Sandersons 1970, book “Invisible Residents: The Reality of Underwater UFO’s.” (6)
The English born Sanderson was a popular Charles Fort inspired biologist, agent, adventurer, and storyteller in the 50s and 60s. Many believe Sanderson to be the person who first coined the term “cryptozoological” for off-beat creatures he wrote about like the “Abominable Snowman.” (7)
Returning to his “Invisible Residents” book, one of Sanderson’s most fascinating and influential claims in it concerns an object noted on sonar circa 1963 travelling at over “150 knots” and went to “28,374 feet below sea level” by the U.S Navy.
He quoted this story from two different articles lacking any sources. The real story appears to have taken place with an incident seen by the Royal Navy off the Norwegian Coast in February of 1963. It was an interesting tale and it contained no stories of objects descending to any such depths (8).
Yet, what struck me once more was how Childress attached himself to Sanderson like a parasite. Because, he is such a schmuck he sucks the fun out of anything Sanderson ever touched. Moreover, he seems to advocate for dubious pseudo-science with white supremacist undertones.
Like Childress, as a kid, I too was fascinated with the idea of advanced underwater/lost civilizations; indeed, the possibility of aliens under the depths fascinated me. Hence, Atlantis was where I wanted to go and from whence most discussions of underwater civilizations/bases start.
Plato described the Atlantean’s way back sometime near 300 BC. It is doubtful any Atlanteans existed as described by Plato who seemed to use it as an allegorical tale. Nevertheless, I am a huge fan of Robert Ballard who pointed out due to volcanoes and rising water levels we have numerous communities from which legends of Atlantis could have sprung (9).
Aryan Antlanteans
What I am not a fan of are the bogus theories about Atlantis advocated by Ignatius Donnelly in the 19th century. He, alongside folks like Helena Blavatsky, helped popularize the idea of the Atlanteans being a technologically superior group of people.
It sounds groovy until one digs a little deeper and the Atlanteans turn out to be white skinned overlords who influenced numerous ancient civilizations. Childress has unquestioningly leaped all over this dubious guff. So much so, he described Atlanteans as a league of races led by blonde haired folk with red turbans (10).
Scott Beekman pointed out the influence of William Pelley on many of Hatcher Childress’ topics, as has arch critic of Childress Jason Colavito (11)(12)(13).
William Hamilton is another ufologist influenced by the Aryan bull spread by 19th Century fools like Blavatsky, and Donnelly, the 20th Centuries own fantasist Pelley.Like Hatcher Childress, he also buys into the rubbish about Mount Shasta and Lemuria (14). Hamilton has dabbled in hidden bases for years and is widely scorned in ufological circles; his dabbling with Dan Burisch killed any little credibility he had (15)(16).
Furthermore, the fact he propagates the claims of Marineland Pacific Park near Palos Verdes being an experimental submersed naval base shows his Childress level of studiousness (17)(18).
Compelling Stories of Bases: AUTEC Facility
In terms of funky undersea bases straight from the imagination of Ian Fleming, a good place to look is the Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Centre (AUTEC) facility on Andros Island in the Bahamas. If the aforementioned documents Sauder found are authentic (and they look to be) there are likely some cool human made and inhabited bases out there.
As for alien bases, one imagines if they are capable of living underwater they would be invisible to any earthly scanning equipment and therefore us civilians. If we do see them emerge or dive into the water, one ponders… “Are these turkeys buzzing us for a laugh?”
Who knows, I just hope they are not Gungans. Yet in making jest, I may be shooting myself in the foot. The glut of sightings concerning UFOs emerging/descending into waterways particularly in Latin America indicates some U.S military weirdness is going on.
A prototype multi-purpose surveillance/weapon drone maybe…
The Valentich Case 1978
The above may tie into the Valentich case.
Arguments against UFO involvement in his case focus on Fredrick Valentich’s incompetence. However, even if he was crap one finds it hard to believe he mistook stars for a solid object circling him.
Most of the time, inexperienced pilots jeopardize themselves by missing marks or confusing constellations at night. According to his flight controller, Valentich showed no signs of confusion or disorientation concerning navigation.
Valentich probably screwed up; nevertheless, the object he saw, and the distraction it caused may well have assisted those errors (19).
One witness, Ray Manifold, supposedly photographed an object emerge from the water near where Valentich disappeared. While this sounds somewhat dubious. Manifold, does not come across as a turkey; furthermore, regardless of his comments the Valentich case is a suspicious and worthy of investigation. Therefore, anybody keen on the case should check out Richard F Haines’ work (20).
Some people call them earth lights, others spooklights, and ghost lanterns. Whatever they are called, they have baffled people for hundreds of years when wandering the woods or back roads and finding floating lights not attached to any explainable human creation. The history on some of these lights goes back to being incorporated in Native American legends.
In Missouri, on the Oklahoma border, there is a spooklight referred to by a few names, such as Hornet Spooklight, but most popularly by “Devil's Promenade.”
Since the 19th century, this light has appeared continually. Reportedly, in the 1940s, the Army Corps of Engineers could not find the cause and deemed it an unexplained light.
Source: Aficionados say the best chances for spotting the light occur after dark when parked on Oklahoma East 50 Road, four miles south of the three state junction of Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma in Ottawa County, Oklahoma and looking to the west. You must sit very silently. The light has been seen in backyards of the area and has been spotted both near to and far away from sightseers. Its color is also not consistent: some eyewitnesses report a greenish glow while others describe it as orange, red, yellow, or even blue. It is almost always said to be in the shape of a ball, although some say it more resembles a camping lantern travelling a couple of feet off the ground.
There have been lots of attempts at explaining the lights including that they are the car lights from people driving on Rt 66. One of the biggest problems with this concept is, how the heck were the lights there since the 1800s before cars?
Brown Mountain Lights are found on Brown Mountain in North Carolina. The first officially documented report of seeing them was in 1913. Some tried to explain it as car lights or train lights, but following floods that washed away car bridges, and made the trains cease running, the lights were still seen.
TheMarfa Lights are one of the most popularly visited sites in Marfa, Texas. Once again, these lights were longstanding and reported since the 19th Century. In an uninhabited and hard to traverse area outside of town, lights danced above the horizon and were first reported by ranchers in the area.
These mystery lights are sometimes red, sometimes blue, and other times white. They continue to baffle to this day.
Paulding Lightis found in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It's been reported since the 1960s. Some studies of it say that it is likely the lights from a car in the distance. The legends include a railroad brakeman who died trying to prevent a collision and for all eternity carries a lantern to protect from other collisions, the ghost of a murdered mail carrier, and the ghost of an Indian dancing on the power lines. Big Thicket Light is seen in East Texas in Hardin County on Bragg Road and, although some have debunked it as car lights, there is an interesting aside to this. In my years of Bigfoot research, I have repeatedly heard from people about strange lights in the woods. These look like a flashlight or a lantern and when they try to chase them down, they cannot seem to capture the source. The Big Thicket area is one of the most light-active sites I have run across in the research. In fact, I have advised Bigfoot researchers in this region to keep their eyes open for lights in the woods and try some experiments.
Traditionally, these kinds of lights were seen by citizens around the world and called “will-o'-the-wisp.” A true will-o'-the-wisp is seen over bogs, marshes, and swamps. Natural odd lights have been seen for centuries, long before car lights and train lights. Some of the local legends include ghosts with lanterns. (Wikipedia) A peasant traveling home at dusk sees a bright light traveling along ahead of him. Looking closer, he sees that the light is a lantern held by a “dusky little figure”, which he follows for several miles. All of a sudden he finds himself standing on the edge of a vast chasm with a roaring torrent of water rushing below him. At that precise moment the lantern-carrier leaps across the gap, lifts the light high over its head, lets out a malicious laugh and blows out the light, leaving the poor peasant a long way from home, standing in pitch darkness at the edge of a precipice. This is a fairly common cautionary tale concerning the phenomenon; however, the ignis fatuus was not always considered dangerous. There are some tales told about the will-o’-the-wisp being guardians of treasure, much like the Irish leprechaun leading those brave enough to follow them to sure riches. Other stories tell of travelers getting lost in the woodland and coming upon a will-o’-the-wisp, and depending on how they treated the will-o’-the-wisp, the spirit would either get them lost further in the woods or guide them out.
The Maco Light in North Carolina is one of the types of spooklights with legend attached to a haunting. Just west of Wilmington in the Maco Station train tracks area, ghost lights are seen. In fact, President Grover Cleveland saw them in 1889. The legend says that in 1867, a signalman was sleeping in the caboose of a train. He woke up when he felt it jerk. He recognized that the caboose was detaching from the rest of the train. He panicked when he realized that adrift on the track, another train would be arriving and hit it. He needed to signal the oncoming train. He waved a lantern frantically from the back of the caboose, hoping to catch the eye of the oncoming train. Even though the train was able to slow down, it still rear-ended the caboose and decapitated the signalman. His head landed in a swamp, but they buried his body with honors for his bravery. The legend says that the headless signalman walks around with a ghostly lantern looking for his head.
I'll be honest, this doesn't work for me on many levels, but especially that he would need a lantern to find his head which means he would have eyes to spot his head on the ground and would need a light to see his way.…
In my home state of Virginia, we have the Cahoke Lights in West Point, VA along the Cahoke train track crossroads. There are two legends and interestingly one of them is a headless railroad worker. The other legend is about a missing train of injured war soldiers.
Conclusion
What are spooklights? It's hard to make a sweeping statement on that because, like all sounds are not ghosts, all lights are not unexplained. Some of the unexplained lights are written off as car lights, train lights, lights caused by ghosts, lights caused by natural earth occurrences include ignition of gases, airborne minerals being lit by ambient light, electrical disturbances along fault lines, and other assorted swamp gas-related concepts.

Daytime UFO sighting over New Ellenton, South Carolina on 8th April 2015
New interesting video footage of a strange donut – shaped UFO sighting recorded over New Ellenton, South Carolina on 8th April 2015.
Witness said: I was photographing clouds with my cell phone. In between layers of cloud was what I thought a star until I went inside and zoomed in. The circle with a hole on the center was clearly not a star. I was in front of my house in New Ellenton, S. C. In Aiken County. I enjoy photographing the sky, stars moon and clouds. But I have never seen this before.
