Lieutenant Fox was in the Navy in the 1960′s flying attack planes. He had a top-secret clearance and served in Vietnam. He is a retired pilot of 33 years with American Airlines.
In his testimony, he reveals that there is a publication called JANAP 146 E that has a section which states that no one is to share any information regarding the UFO phenomenon under penalty of $10,000 fine and 10 years in prison.
During one incident in late 1964, while flying an A4 Skyhawk, he says that all of a sudden a darkened saucer shaped object about 30 feet in diameter appeared on his left side. There were many other events over the course of his career where he observed saucer shaped and cigar shaped UFO’s over military installations as well as one time seeing two red lights traversing the night’s sky from horizon to horizon in three seconds. He was afraid to bring up these events to others due to the inherent ridicule in the subject.
On April 12, 2015 the witness was on his terrace of his home in Rome and was filming a plane with a camera with a powerful zoom (Panasonic Lumix camera with a 60x zoom lens). When he reviewed the video on his computer he noticed what looks like a disc-shaped object.
The sighting is analyzed by the Mediterranean UFO Center (C.UFO.M) and they concluded that it is not a bird, a satellite, an atmospheric probe or a balloon.
The object emits lights sometimes right and sometimes to the left. As for the lights, if the object is a balloon that is spinning, reflections would change rapidly and look to be in odd places, but investigator Angelo Maggioni ruled out that it is a balloon as the sun is to the left and not all of the reflections appear to be to the left, besides the object has a focus similar to that of the aircraft. Angelo Maggioni suggests the object must be a UFO.
But is it a UFO, a man-made or extraterrestrial craft with lights or it is just a balloon?
We hear a lot about saucer-shaped UFOs, cigar-shaped ones, even triangular and pentagonal, but we don't talk publicly about another oddity in the sky, the red-orange lights. May 22, 2012, I was out in the desert between Maricopa and Mobile, Arizona with a friend. My friend builds telescopes and he brought one with him to show me what it's like to look through one. We set up his telescope and studied the stars. My friend brought out a laser pointer and was showing me constellations. When we were done, he began disassembling the device and I watched the skies still. There were only random planes in the distance, nothing else happening in the dark sky.
Then, around 9:30, I was looking in the direction of some distant small mountains and across the empty country roadway that had a train track running parallel with it. I saw a red-orange light shaped like a ball in the distance, then it went out and another one showed up, but much closer. Then, it went out, and other one showed up even closer. It looked to me like two lights leap-frogging each other up along the roadway, above the train track power lines that ran along them. My first thought was “are the lines sparking?” But, the lights silently came closer and closer until I moved my body a bit, poised, ready to duck if I had to. Each light orb was the same red-orange color, perfectly round, the light contained within and not glowing out and around them. I called to my friend, when the lights stopped. He wondered if I had misread some lights, but knowing the area, what was there (or not there, it was a lonely desert location), I knew I saw something very odd. There was no sound, the lights did not glow on anything around them, and the light seemed so organic, that I had to wonder if it was some kind of odd natural phenomena. Then, as my friend was opened up his car to put the parts of the telescope in, I looked up and saw the lights again, further in the distance. I called out to him and he lifted his head and saw them. One light was on, then another light came on not too far from it, but then the first one went out and the second one. They seemed to be doing some kind of chase of each. To me, it felt like two separate objects lighting up, but in retrospect, it could have been the same one turning off as the main object moved and then its light came back on. At this point, I was excited. Now, it seemed like not a quirky set of conditions, but an actual purposeful happening. I clapped and got excited, asking it to show itself again. My friend, however, was very unsettled. He rushed to put the telescope parts into the car when it happened again. I pointed into the distance. They were there again, a bit higher in the sky, one light that seemed to split into two lights, at least it gave that impression from our viewpoint. They were there only a few seconds before they went out again, one after the other. I studied the sky and saw nothing else, no plane lights, not a thing. The sky was very dark. My friend went to the car, opened the driver's door and said he wanted to go. I told him we weren't going to leave his telescope and nothing had hurt us, let's just see what it does. Then, it started again. I got very excited to witness it yet again in a different location once again. They continued to be across the road and further down, below the distant outline of the mountains, but each time, they were either much more left or right or higher or lower on the horizon. After it doing this every few minutes, lasting a few seconds, it seemed to stop. All in all, it ran about a half hour. As we drove off into the night, my friend asked. “What time is it?” I looked. “10:30.” I told him. “We didn't miss any time, did we?” I felt certain we could account for our entire encounter, but I realized the episode unsettled him. I looked into the sky as we drove off, wondering if we we would see these orbs again, but we didn't. I can only describe them as a basketball with a florescent red-orange liquid inside that made them glow from within, not like taillights on cars that have a spray of light around them and seem rather flat. These seem globe-shaped and organically lit. They did not stay on long but when they went out, they didn't flicker in the least. They were very consistently lit. I've seen a lot of UFOs in the Arizona desert, but this particular event was so unusual. It didn't involve a craft per se, but something that seemed rather biologic or organic. I have no way of explaining why it felt that way, but the actions of the lights and the quality of them were not like anything I had a point of reference for.
Someone else's encounter
I started researching other's encounters to look for commonalities.
Description: 6 moving lights that appeared to be glowing, as if it was a lit candle, went across the sky. They one by one disappeared as the traveled. I have never see anything like this nor can I explain what it was – it didn't seem to be a plane or helicopter, nor can I understand why they would be all together traveling. There were no motor sounds, it was completely silent.
Description: “Noticed a single redish-orange fireball rising from eastern horizon from San Diego city center,” the witness stated. “At first it looked like an asteroid, but it was going up instead of down. Shortly after a second appeared from horizon following same path as the first. Then there was a third. I ran to get my wife so I wasn't the only one who saw.”
Description:“First thing I noticed, it was a cloudless star-lit night,” the witness stated. “This orange light was moving slowly across the sky, slowing down, then moving again. Also while we watched the light, would turn a little red. We watched for about three or four minutes, then it almost stopped and then started going straight up. We looked at each other in disbelief as it then vanished into the sky.”
Description:“I was walking back to our bungalow on the beach in Bang Saphan, Thailand with my girlfriend, after dinner, and looked up into the sky to see if it might begin to rain. As I looked up, an orange-red orb (maybe 3X the size of a night-time star – not very large), “zig-zagged” above VERY quickly and disappeared in the clouds/horizon.”
Description: “3 red-orange glowing orbs moving in sky, hovered then moved again, from Wimberly Texas area toward Seguin Texas Area, Disappeared in sky directly above where I and others stood watching!”
Description: “We were sitting outside our beach house looking over the ocean. Initially, we saw one orange/red light that began as a glow and got brighter until fading to dim, and then disappearing completely. It was a circular/sphere shape.” “I saw the same thing in Athens, Texas at approximately 11:40 pm on 12/31/2011. There was a very large red/orange orb that traveled from approximately North/Northwest to South/Southeast. It had no flashing lights on it and no tail. It addition, another light followed it and then seemed to be traveling straight up.”
Being a bit of a dork on these matters, I thought I'd try to retroengineer this phenomena by looking at what chemicals recreate red-orange lights. The longer wavelengths for that color light appear to be 600-700 nanometers and the chemicals utilized by fireworks for that color are strontium salts or lithium carbonate for red and calcium chloride for orange.
If you mix lithium and calcium you get calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is found in limestone, marble, chalk and travertine. Seashells are major source of calcium carbonate. Curious what happens if your burn calcium carbonate, I found out this – Burning is usually understood to mean an oxidation reaction that releases energy. Calcium carbonate is already fully oxidized, so it will never burn. When heated to 840 degrees Celsius, calcium carbonate dissociates to form calcium oxide (quicklime) and carbon dioxide. This reaction absorbs energy.
Now it gets more interesting – if you mix strontium and calcium you get phosphorescence! This is used for luminescent paints. You can mix sulphur and oyster shells at high heat in a container and get this glowing light reaction.
That intrigued me because of the high incidence of reports of USOs or UFOs that appear and disappear into the ocean. Sulphur is found near hot springs and volcanic areas/volcanic vents. The incidence of UFOs reported near volcanic areas is high not to mention the amount of volcanic vents in the ocean! Are they utilizing our simple earth elements in ways that create energy or reactions that they need to traverse the seas and skies?
Should we be holding up UFO witness report maps up against maps of oceans/volcanic areas/limestone areas?
UFO's and volcanoes -
I recently wrote about UFOs and severe storms. Now, it's entirely possible that people are seeing debris caught in storms or spewed from volcanoes as UFOs, but that doesn't answer all these incidents. A large volcano in California, Mt. Shasta, has long been associated with UFOs, aliens, and hidden worlds. Where there are legends that are repeated, there is some historic validity within.
If we look at where UFOs are seen, we might begin to understand what they need, what they want. If you were driving on a long road trip in your car, where you stop off might say a lot about your priorities. If we photograph and see you at gas stations off the main freeway, we can guess you might be looking for fuel. If gas stations are only found along roadways, we can assume you must traverse the roadways to get what you want.
UFO's beneath the water's surface – could easily utilize volcanic vents for sulphur and calcium carbonate seashell debris from the floor of the ocean if those were necessary fuels for travel, giving the very chemical reaction away every time you see the glowing balls of red-orange lights. Adding to the mystery, the encounters I have had with alien greys, as much as I'm uncomfortable talking about it, included them leaving in a red-orange light that seemed to be somehow biological and not from the outside. They were not beamed up onto a ship as we would imagine, but it did seem to take some of their concentration and focus to make this sort of “fusion” happen. The light was dense and then sort of speckled as if the very atoms that make them up were moving at a low frequency. It was hard to describe but the core of the light came from the chest area and spread up and down and out. It was clearly this same red-orange color. If much of what they do has to do with this process, then perhaps we can assume that within their own bodies they possess sulphur and calcium? Just a thought, but yet another part of the puzzle to work on. Source:Bioluminescence is not a rare phenomenon in marine life. Nature has its own way of putting up a magnificent show of light where sunlight cannot penetrate. The depths of the oceans are home to a variety of bioluminescent species of fish, bacteria, fungi and plants. Bioluminescent creatures on land such as fireflies, glow worms and fungi, in comparison, are a rare occurrence.
As vague as bioluminescence in humans may sound, recent scientific research has successfully proven that the human body emits very low intensity light which is invisible to the naked eye. Japanese scientists Daisuke Kikuchi and Masaki Kobayashi from the Tohoku Institute of Technology are the minds behind the proof of bioluminescence in humans.
With the aid of a highly sensitive imaging CCD (charge-coupled device) camera, these researchers were able to capture the very first images of human bioluminescence. It is no secret to science that living organisms are capable of producing negligible amounts of light resulting from cellular chemical reactions; however, capturing this low intensity bioluminescent light from humans was considered as an impossible feat. Nevertheless, this recent achievement comes as a breakthrough in the field of biology.
Dr. Gary Schwartz has also conducted experiments where he detected and recorded biophotons from plants and humands.
Experimenting Bioluminescence In Humans
Researchers Daisuke Kikuchi and Masaki Kobayashi used a very sensitive CCD camera to observed the upper bodies of the volunteers over a period of days.
The startling observations made during the process of this experiment include:
1. The human body emits light which is invisible to the naked eye; this light is precisely a 1000 times weaker than the human eye can perceive. 2. The human body emits light rhythmically and directly. 3. The light emitted by the human body is at its highest intensity late in the afternoon and it is at its lowest intensity late at night. 4. The forehead, cheeks and neck are the areas of the human body from which light of the brightest intensity is emitted as compared to other body parts. 5. It was also noted that the brightest areas noticed upon thermal imaging of the human body did not correspond with the brightest areas on these images of human bioluminescence.
Just as bioluminescence occurs due to chemical metabolic reactions in other known bioluminescent creatures, bioluminescence occurs in humans due to metabolic reactions as well. When cells of the human body respire, they produce highly reactive free radicals. These free radicals interact with free floating protein and lipids. This reaction can, at times, lead to further interaction with fluorophores in the human body, which leads to the emission of light.
Since human bioluminescence occurs at such a low intensity, it is very unlikely that this feature will serve any evolutionary purpose. Probably upon further research and study of this phenomenon, the practical applications of human bioluminescence may develop. We emit light like other bio-luminescent life forms on earth, but we simply haven't the eyesight range to be able to view it.
We might call this “auras” but if living organisms can utilize chemicals within to create a light from within, how might that be applied in the process of metabolic change to shift frequencies and thus shift universes? It's a thought and also a sign of potential science behind the utilization of natural earth elements to do many things that ancient man seemed to understand forgotten and that aliens might utilize today – here on our own planet.
I can take this even further and state that perhaps the use of a charge-coupled device camera might be ideal for looking for “other worldly” types from ghosts to Bigfoot, UFOs and more. In fact, Bigfoot might even possess eyes capable of seeing our light and evaluating our worth. Doppler Effect proves that light changes color as it comes towards us and as it moves away from us near the speed of light. Coming towards us, it can be greenish, but going away from us, it turns a reddish color. This might be yet another clue into what we are seeing and if it is coming or going.
Conclusion
I say it often and it's true: There is no magic, only science yet unexplained. So, in the case of these lights, I say we look at what could create such a light, where those goods might be, like the man in the car being noted at gas stations might need gasoline which can be used as a fuel to propel his vehicle. We certainly don't see great mining underway by any “alien” influences, so what might they use of natural earth sciences that are making their job easy and cheap? In other words, the mechanisms our governments, oil companies, and electric companies do not want us to learn and develop?
A professional photographer was filming an airliner from the patio of his home on the outskirts of Rome when he caught something on video he cannot explain. He did not see the object as he was filming, but upon review of the footage, a strange object can be seen for a couple of seconds. Local UFO researchers are just as baffled as the witness.
This UFO sighting has been covered in Italian news, and was investigated by the Mediterranean UFO Center (C.UFO.M). The name of the witness has been withheld.
According to C.UFO.M, the unnamed witness is a professional photographer who specializes in taking photographs of actors, singers, and other important people. On April 12, 2015, at his home on the outskirts of Rome, the photographer was filming an airliner using his Panasonic Lumix camera with a 60x zoom lens.
Upon review of the video, the photographer noticed a strange object pop onto the screen for a short period of time.
C.UFO.M examined the video to help determine what the object is. In their analysis, posted on their website, the investigator, Angelo Maggioni, first determined that the object was not a bird. He says the object is too high, and that the UFO does not look like other birds that have been captured in images.

Maggioni also ruled out a balloon. Again, he felt the object was too high, and he notes that the object appears to have moving lights on it. He notes that there could be some reflections, but that the sun is to the left and not all of the reflections appear to be to the left.
A balloon image added to the analysis by C.UFO.M. Researcher Maggioni notes that a balloon can easily be identified in high quality images. (Credit: C.UFO.M)
In the end, Maggioni has no explanation. He feels it is a self luminescent object that, to him, remains a UFO.
Maggioni calculated the height of the object by concluding that the UFO was in focus and so it must be about the same distance as the airliner. He estimates it is 13,000 meters, or over 40,000 feet high. That would be around the same altitude as the airliner. Although, the still images look fuzzy and out of focus to me.

Also, as the camera pans to keep track of the airliner, the UFO flashes by. This could be because the UFO is stationary, or moving slowly, and much lower than the airliner.
As for the UFO’s lights, if the object is an odd-shaped, or misshapen, silver balloon that is spinning, reflections would change rapidly and look to be in odd places. When C.UFO.M zooms in on the object in their video (seen at the top of this story), the object does look disc-shaped. And we all know what is disc-shaped, that’s right, a balloon. Oh yeah, UFOs too.
The object is so small and far away that even though the photographer used a good camera and zoom lens, it is hard to know exactly what he caught on camera. Is this some sort of craft with lights on it, a mere balloon, or do you have another theory? Let us know below.
The Loveland, CO, witness noticed a light above the foothills on March 10, 2015. Pictured: Downtown Loveland. (Credit: Wikimedia Commons)
openminds.tv
A Colorado witness at Loveland described an “unusual radiant light source” moving above the foothills of the Rocky Mountains that could not be identified, according to testimony in Case 64781 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was at home shaving in an upstairs bathroom at 9:12 p.m. on March 10, 2015, when he opened a window and “noticed a bright, steady, unchanging, radiant source of white light in close proximity to the tops of the initial foothills” west of his location.
The witness first thought the light was positioned on a light pole and later thought it might be automobile headlights.
“I was suddenly moderately surprised and shocked to observe the traveling object seemingly to stop its movement and execute a rapid drop in apparent altitude of seemingly a few hundred feet, before apparently being able to arrest the plunge in the altitude and coming to a stop briefly,” the witness stated.
The light on the object seemed to change from a steady glow to random flickering.
“After the brief arrestment of the altitude plunge, the object then began to haltingly ascend back in altitude, until it was again back at its seemingly original altitude, where it again stopped movement briefly.”
The witness now realized the light could not be an automobile and decided to continue to watch it.
“After the brief stop, upon the regaining of its former altitude, the object then began the same, slow, traveling speed, although now on a generally northern trajectory. While the object was performing the flickering aspect of its light radiance, reduced glare intensity from the object was occasionally low enough to pick out more detained features of the object generating the light radiance.”
The witness described the object.
“Object appeared to be a structured construct, of a roughly raised-dome shape, with the white light radiating from the domed area, and from what appeared to be a series of rectangular panels spaced around the circumference of the object’s lower one-third area.”
The object seemed to be repeating its actions.
“After slowly traveling back to the general north for a short distance, near where the object was originally noticed, the object was observed to repeat a virtually identical rapid drop in its altitude and seemingly struggle to get such halted and original altitude level re-established, and stopping briefly, yet again.”
The object eventually appeared to land. Loveland is located about 15 miles directly south of Fort Collins. (Credit: Google)
The witness thought that the object might be experiencing problems.
“Object appeared to be suffering performance difficulties involving its altitude maintenance, and after the brief stop in movement upon regaining its former altitude the second time, the object was observed to again resume a generally southward trajectory, until it appeared to land upon the top of the nearest hill along the newest trajectory. The object then appeared to just sit there on the hilltop, with its light radiance still in the random flickering nature, for about 1-2 minutes before I decided to relocate myself to the residence’s rear yard deck area, to see if I could improve observational abilities by being outdoors, with the wall clock glanced at showing then 9:16 p.m.”
The witness then went back inside and observed the object from the bathroom window.
“While observing upon the rear yard deck, I detected the approach of a conventional, small passenger aircraft in my side vision field to my right (north), by its engine sounds and safety lighting, and recalling having read about such objects displaying reactions to approaching aircraft, I began to observe the object intently, with just the barest of glances at the approaching aircraft, to keep track of its general position in relation to the landed object.”
The UFO seemed to react to the conventional aircraft.
“The conventional aircraft was on a generally north-to-south trajectory, traveling in between my location and the object, with what appeared as closer proximity to the objects area, than my own, and was traveling at an altitude of approximately 2,500-3,000 feet. When the conventional aircraft approached into the area to the northeast of the object, I observed the intensity of the flickering glow from the object seemingly stop the flickering activity, and assumed a steady glow again, as it seemingly reduced the power output into the glow function, drastically reducing the glow intensity down to just barely existent at all, to the level that if I had not had the object under direct observation at the moment, then I would have had high difficulty even noticing such a weak light source if casually eye-scanning across the general area of the landed object. The object was observed to maintain the extremely weak light glow throughout the area of passage of the conventional aircraft, until the aircraft had progressed to a point to the southeast of the object’s location, whereupon the object then seeming powered back up to its former flickering light radiance & intensities.”
The witness then said the object appeared to land.
“Observed the object landed on the hilltop for a few more minutes. After about one minute of observation, the object appeared to slowly take off and start ascending into the air once more, and then suddenly began a seemingly unstable, erratic set of movements, giving the appearance of the object not only still having altitude maintenance control difficulties, but now directional and attitude control issues. Object seemed to take several seconds to get the erratic movements stabilized enough to bring the object to a stop once more, before then very slowly moving off deeper into the foothills area on a northwestward trajectory, while seemingly increasing its altitude slightly, until it was able to apparently land on another hilltop.”
The witness continued to watch the object.
“Object remained on the second hilltop for another couple of minutes under my observation before I glanced at the room’s wall clock at 9:36 p.m. At 9:37 p.m., glanced at clock again, before observing the object still sitting atop of the distant hill for two minutes – 9:39 p.m.”
The witness looked away for a few minutes while shaving and when he looked back, the object was gone.
Loveland is in Larimer County, CO, population 71,334.
Colorado is currently a UFO Alert Level 5 – with 1.16 sightings per million population based on MUFON February 2015 statistics. Colorado received a total of six UFO reports in March.
The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels – 1 through 5 – where states with 4.01 or higher reports per million residents are rated an Alert 1; 3.01 – 4.0 reports are an Alert 2; 2.51 – 3.0 are an Alert 3; 2.01 – 2.5 are an Alert 4; and those states with 2.0 or lower are rated an Alert 5.
Please remember that most UFO sighting can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
Er bestaat mogelijk dan toch een Planeet X voorbij Pluto
Er bestaat mogelijk dan toch een Planeet X voorbij Pluto
Over Planeet X doen allerlei complottheorieën de ronde: aan de rand van ons zonnestelsel zou zich een planeet schuilhouden die zo groot is als Jupiter en waarvan het bestaan geheim wordt gehouden door NASA. Er komt steeds meer bewijs dat voorbij Pluto nog een planeet bestaat.
Richard A. Lovett bespreekt het nieuwste bewijs in tijdschrift Cosmos. Het bewijs voor het bestaan van Planeet X kan volgens hem worden gehaald uit simulaties die laten zien dat Charon, de grootste maan van Pluto, niet altijd rond de dwergplaneet heeft gedraaid. Op een bepaald punt kwamen twee hemellichamen mogelijk met elkaar in botsing, waarna Charon een natuurlijke satelliet van Pluto werd.
Volgens New Horizons-hoofdonderzoeker Alan Stern houdt een dergelijke botsing in dat Pluto en Charon gezelschap hebben. Lovett schrijft:
Het buitenste deel van het zonnestelsel is reusachtig. De kans op een botsing zou miniem zijn als Pluto en Charon de enige objecten waren in dat gebied. Stern heeft uitgerekend dat het 10.000 keer de leeftijd van het hele heelal zou duren voordat een botsing tussen een eenzame Pluto en Charon aannemelijk zou worden. Maar als er ‘1000 Pluto-achtige objecten’ in de regio waren, zou een botsing veel waarschijnlijker worden, zo zei Stern afgelopen jaar tijdens een bijeenkomst in San Francisco.
“Er bevinden zich mogelijk zelfs Mars- en aardachtige dingen,” vertelde Stern aan Lovett. Wetenschappers weten al dat er meer dwergplaneten zijn voorbij Pluto. Vorig jaar kondigde Scott Sheppard, een astronoom van het Carnegie Instituut, aan dat hij een dwergplaneet had gevonden die hij Biden had genoemd.
Afwijkingen in de omloopbanen van Biden en andere dwergplaneten hebben geleid tot theorieën over het mogelijke bestaan van een planeet of planeten met een massa die groot genoeg is om deze verschillen te verklaren.
Supervoid: Wetenschappers hebben een onverklaarbaar gat in het heelal ontdekt
Superholte: Wetenschappers hebben een onverklaarbaar gat in het heelal ontdekt
Jarenlang zochten wetenschappers naar een verklaring voor de ongewoon lage temperatuur van een enorm stuk substantie in de ruimte. Die substantie blijkt nu een reusachtig leeg gat te zijn.
Deze grootst denkbare structuur in het heelal is een leeg gat van ongeveer 1,8 miljard lichtjaar in doorsnee. Helemaal vacuüm is de zogeheten ‘superholte’ echter niet. De zone bevat zo’n 20 procent minder materie dan ons deel van het universum.
De grote luchtbel is de grootste individuele structuur die ooit door de mens is waargenomen, aldus hoofdonderzoeker István Szapudi van de Universiteit van Hawaï in Manoa tegenover The Guardian. Het gat kwam aan het licht toen astronomen ontdekten dat in het gebied rond de bel zo’n 10.000 sterrenstelsels ‘vermist’ waren.
De holte bevindt zich rond de zogeheten cold spot (koude plek) die 10 jaar geleden werd ontdekt. Deze plek deed velen de wenkbrauwen fronsen. “De vraag was wat er precies voor zorgde dat de temperatuur er zo laag was, en of de verklaring al dan niet voor compleet nieuwe inzichten in de organisatie van ons universum zou zorgen,” zei professor Carlos Frenk van de Universiteit van Durham.
De lage temperatuur in de cold spot is maar voor 10 procent te verklaren door het gebrek aan materie, wat mogelijk wijst op het bestaan van ‘exotische natuurkundewetten’. Daarnaast zouden de lage temperatuur en het gebrek aan materie in de luchtbel ‘onafhankelijk bewijs’ kunnen zijn voor het bestaan van donkere energie.
"Buitenaards ruimteschip op 55 jaar oude NASA-foto"
“Buitenaards ruimteschip op 55 jaar oude NASA-foto”
Een UFO-spotter beweert een buitenaards schip te hebben gespot op een 55 jaar oude NASA-foto uit de beginperiode van het ruimtevaartprogramma. Scott C. Waring zegt een onverklaarbaar object te hebben gevonden op een foto uit 1960 die is gemaakt door een onbemande ruimtesonde.
Waring meent dat de ontdekking erop kan wijzen dat buitenaardse waarnemers al vanaf het begin een oogje in het zeil houden. Hij zag het vreemde object op een foto die op 19 december 1960 is gemaakt door ruimtecapsule Mercury-Redstone 1A.
“Ik vond een schijfvormig object op enkele foto’s van de Mercury-missie,” schreef hij op zijn blog. “De missie vond plaats in december 1960. Waarom zouden aliens niet geïnteresseerd zijn in een historisch moment in de menselijke geschiedenis?”
“Omdat de capsule onbemand was, hoefden ze zich geen zorgen te maken dat ze gezien zouden worden,” ging hij verder. “Op de achtergrond is de aarde te zien, terwijl de UFO vanuit de ruimte de capsule gadeslaat.”
“De schijf is bijna niet te zien op de eerste foto’s, maar wordt drie foto’s later wel duidelijk zichtbaar,” aldus Waring. “We leven in een bijzondere tijd waarin bepaalde waarheden over het universum binnen het bereik komen van de menselijke geest.”
Het Mercuryprogramma (1958-1963) was het eerste programma van de VS voor bemande ruimtevaart en had als doel de eerste Amerikaanse ruimtevaarders in een baan om de aarde te brengen.
Er waren tijdens het programma zes bemande ruimtevluchten. Op 20 februari 1962 werd John Glenn de eerste Amerikaan in een baan om de aarde. Op 24 maart 1961 werd Alan Shepard de eerste Amerikaan in de ruimte.
Weer een asteroïde rakelings langs de Aarde ( Video )
Weer een asteroïde rakelings langs de Aarde ( Video )
Iets waar eigenlijk nooit veel ruchtbaarheid aan wordt gegeven is dat er met de komst van Nibiru ook steeds meer asteroïden onze kant opkomen.
Vaak worden ze op het laatste moment opgemerkt, áls dat al gebeurt, zoals ook deze week.
Gisteren passeerde een asteroïde, 2015 HD .1 LD genaamd, onze aarde op een afstand van ongeveer 1/10 van die tussen de aarde en de maan.
Een afstand die in astronomische termen rakelings genoemd kan worden.
Een asteroïde die slechts enkele dagen daarvoor was ontdekt, zoals zo vaak voor komt, en waarvan men eigenlijk niets zeker wist. Men had bij NASA geen idee over de koers die deze asteroïde uiteindelijk zou volgen en men gaat er gemakshalve dan maar vanuit dat deze de aarde niet zal raken.
Wanneer NASA zegt dat het object een doorsnede heeft van ergens tussen de tien en twintig meter dan moet je dat met ongeveer 2,5 vermenigvuldigen en dan krijg je waarschijnlijk de ware grootte.
Eveneens volgens NASA heeft dit object een snelheid van 15,98 kilometer per seconde en je kunt je voorstellen dat wanneer een dergelijk iets de aarde raakt, er complete steden letterlijk van de aardbodem kunnen worden weggevaagd.
"Gelukkig" voor ons is 75 procent van het aardoppervlak bedekt met water en dus daarmee is de kans dat een dergelijke asteroïde een onvoorstelbare ramp op land aanricht iets afgenomen. Een tsunami veroorzaken kan het ding natuurlijkook.
Je zou je ook hier weer moeten afvragen waarom er nooit de financiële middelen beschikbaar zijn gesteld om een soort waarschuwingssysteem voor asteroïden op te zetten.
Een goede reden zou natuurlijk kunnen zijn dat men dit volkomen verspilde moeite vindt in verband met de nadering van de planeet Nibiru.
Dat we het risico van een inslag door het toenemende aantal asteroïden niet moeten onderschatten, wordt hieronder nogmaals benadrukt door professor Michio Kaku, die zegt dat wij hier op aarde op dit moment niets meer zijn dan “sitting ducks”.
Niet iedereen hoort het, maar de mensen die het wel horen worden zo langzamerhand knettergek van het mysterieuze geluid.
Het is een lage, soort brommende toon en wetenschappers staan, zoals vaak in dit soort situaties, volkomen met de handen in het haar.
De bovengenoemde geluiden worden waargenomen van het Engelse Somerset tot New Mexico en een gebied waar men er bijzonder veel last van heeft, is rondom de Engelse stad Plymouth.
Een geluid dat al sinds de jaren '70 wordt waargenomen, meestal in plattelandsgebieden en alleen door mensen die binnen in huis zijn. Ook schijnt het ’s nachts luider te zijn dan overdag.
Vorig jaar had men veel last van dit geluid rondom Plymouth en toen het afnam hoopte men dat het weg was. Echter, niets was minder waar, want het is terug, erger dan ooit.
Getuigen zeggen dingen zoals, “Je begint je af te vragen of het aan jou ligt, aan je oren, maar mijn man zei dat hij het ook kon horen. Mijn buren hebben het ook gehoord en verschillende andere mensen zeggen hetzelfde. Het is een laag, bijna melodisch geluid”.
Het schijnt dat dit bizarre geluid ongeveer door twee procent van de bevolking wordt gehoord.
De meeste mensen die het geluid horen zijn boven de 35 en in Engeland is het bijvoorbeeld waargenomen in Leeds, Bristol en Largs in Schotland, maar het is ook gehoord in Taos, New Mexico en Bondi Beach in het Australische Sydney.
Katie Jacques uit Leeds zei, “Het is een soort marteling. Soms wil je het wel uitschreeuwen. Het is moeilijk om in slaap te vallen omdat ik dit geluid permanent in de achtergrond hoor. Je ligt te woelen en te draaien en je gaat je er steeds meer over opwinden.
De mensen die het horen hebben daarnaast last van hoofdpijn, misselijkheid, duizeligheid, neusbloedingen en slaapverstoringen. Voor zover bekend, is er ook minstens één geval van zelfmoord, veroorzaakt door het mysterieuze geluid.
Een inwoner van Bondi Beach in Sydney zei, “Mensen hier worden er helemaal gek van. Het enige wat je kunt doen is muziek opzetten om het weg te duwen. Ik slik kalmerende middelen en ben de tel verloren van de nachten dat ik heb opgezeten met mijn hoofd in mijn handen en huilde”.
De mogelijke oorzaken die door mensen in de loop der tijd naar voren zijn gebracht als oorzaak zijn teveel om op te noemen. Het einde van het liedje is dat nog steeds niemand ook maar enig idee heeft waardoor het wordt veroorzaakt.
Mensen die daar wel een antwoord op hebben zijn de mensen van de Dogon stam in Afrika.
De Dogon is een bevolkingsgroep die woont op de helling van de Klif van Bandiagara in Mali, in West-Afrika. Ze zijn bekend om hun kleurrijke, gemaskerde dansen en ceremonies, authentieke architectuur en hun buitengewone cultureel gebonden manier van samenleven.
Wij schreven eerder een artikel over de Dogon en hoe zij tijdens hun heilige ceremonies geluiden voortbrengen die lijken op wat mensen nu horen en die zij in verband brengen met een donkere ster.
Ook dichterbij huis vinden wij aanwijzingen omtrent vreemde geluiden:
Het zijn niet alleen de Dogon die het over vreemde geluiden hebben. In een museum in Leiden ligt de Ipuwer Paypyrus, één van de oudste Egyptische documenten. Het bevat een kort gedicht met als laatste regel: “Jaren van geluid. Er komt geen eind aan het geluid”.
Ook in de Kolbrin Bijbel wordt gesproken over vreemde geluiden: “Zij zullen de trompetten horen en de strijdkreet van de Verwoester” en “De ster zong zoals nog nooit eerder was voorgekomen”.

Update on the ‘Search for the Socorro UFO (Case) Footage’
Update on the ‘Search for the Socorro UFO (Case) Footage’
Lonnie Zamora, left (in plain clothes); N.M State Police Sgt. Sam Chavez (middle) and NICAP investigator Ray Stanford, right. (Credit: USAF Photo by Allen Hynek, April 29, After the original article was published in the MUFON Journal, much has happened behind the scenes.
First, I want to thank everyone for their assistance in searching for the footage. A lot of MUFON members did their due diligence and searched high and low, many following up on the leads that Tony Angiola and I had already followed up on.
But, then we had some news; John Steiger, a Former MUFON member, found the episode of Sightings we were seeking, season 4 episode 13, and sent us the link from YouTube. Tony immediately downloaded this episode, and just a few days later it was removed from the site.
After viewing, we found that this was indeed the show that a woman saw on TV regarding the famous Socorro case of an egg shaped craft landing in 1964. After watching this episode the woman was compelled to go up in her attic, find her father’s footage and send it to Sightings. This is the film that proved to be very hard to track down.
Three very important things occurred after our article was printed in the MUFON Journal. First, someone who had read the article alerted Ray Stanford to our search. Ray Stanford wrote the definitive book on this case (classified as an UNKNOWN in Project Blue Books files) called “Socorro Saucer in a Pentagon Pantry”. This is a “must read” regarding this case since Ray was onsite just a few days after the event. Ray located additional witnesses, and conducted multiple interviews with Lonnie Zamora and Dr. J. Allen Hynek.
Ray contacted Jan Harzan at MUFON who forwarded his information to us. We contacted Ray and have spoken many times about this event. Ray has incredible information about this fascinating case, which has been debated over the years and even called a college hoax. There has been lots of misinformation regarding the events and results of the investigation. Ray is also going to release some incredible new facts about the Socorro event, and I can personally say that his data will eliminate any hoax theories and bring this case back into the news.
The second result of our article was connecting with Rob Mercer, Ohio State Section Director, who acquired original Blue Book documents on Craigslist. These turned out to be original, hand written notes by the principle Blue Book investigator, along with several other documents that all came from the Blue Book investigation of Socorro.
Ben introduced Rob to Ray Stanford and these important documents were shared and found to be authentic. The documents indicate a serious investigation by the Air Force, proving that this was a real event as described by Lonnie Zamora, and manipulation by Air Force personnel to release a different insignia on the side of the craft. This was likely an attempt to compare the real marking to any other reports of this object and discard them as a hoax if they did not match the ‘real’ insignia seen by Mr. Zamora.
The third result was a surprise. Ben was contacted by John Ventre, MUFON State Director for Pennsylvania. He met John in Los Angeles when we filmed for season 2 of Hangar1 in August. John contacted Ben and said that he had recorded the long sought after footage on VHS from the TV show Sightings. He thought it was too good to be true but three days later John mailed him a CD of that exact footage, thus ending a long and strange search for this piece of history. This is a great example of how working together, sharing data, and investigative skills resulted in us finding the footage.
The film shows the family at the site just several days after the landing, and brief shots of the landing area. It’s a great addition to the case file and is another piece of the Socorro event history1964)
What follows is Ray’s update on the Socorro case that points out an important piece of evidence and also clears up some of the bad info that has recently appeared in articles and blogs about the Socorro Incident.
Burned Paper From The Socorro Site
By Ray Stanford The UFO Chronicles 4-18-15
Ben Moss and Tony Angiola have been concerned about finding an 8mm movie they hoped would bring a worthwhile look at the Socorro CE III site of Friday April 24, 1964. So, this seems an appropriate time to provide readers a close look at just one of many trace evidences collected at the landing site.
As described in detail in my 211-page book,SOCORRO SAUCER IN A PENTAGON PANTRY, 1976, Blue Apple Books, both Dr. J. Allen Hynek, chief scientific consultant to the USAF's Project Blue book, and I arrived in Socorro, New Mexico late on Tuesday April 28 1964 to investigate the case. On the next morning, via Socorro police dispatcher Mike Martinez, Hynekrequested that I be allowed to join him, and the primary witness (Socorro policeman) Lonnie Zamora, along with New Mexico State police Sergeant Sam Chavez at the landing site.
Dr. Hynek made that request over the strong objections of Sergeant Chavez, who wanted the site closed to everyone except the three of them. Fortunately, Hynek knew and trusted me because of how thorough, helpful, and cooperative I was withhim concerning an important case nearly five years before, when I was only 21.
There are skeptics out there who have recently discovered this event and seem to want to twist and distort every fact of the 50 year old Socorro case. Some of them even claim that I manufactured being with Hynek on April 29 and my involvement with this case. Above (top) I present the official USAF photo taken by Dr. Hynek using a Polaroid camera.
O.K., it was 1964. Elvis Presley was 'King", I was age 26, and someone has described me, therein, as sporting an Elvis-like shock of hair, but I swear, folks, that those are NOT "Blue Suede Shoes" I'm wearing.
No, those were just tan buckskins, walking all over where some people think two diminutive aliens might have trod about 4.5 days earlier. The three of us arestanding on the south side of the southwest landing gear imprint. Zamora is off-duty, so he is not in police uniform.
Shortly after that photo was taken Hynek announced that he wanted to look for any landing traces, including burned paper. Then, suddenly he looked a bit flustered declaring that he had forgotten to bring any containers for samples. Well, he had done one thing right in inviting me to join them at the site because I had brought along a box of sixty brand new clear plastic containers with soft plastic lids you could write on them with a ballpoint pen.
We searched for samples side-by-side. When Hynek came up with something of interest I would place it in a plastic container for him and write his coded designation on the lid. Later, he would write a longer description on a paper pad.
Nearly fifty years later at the National Archives storage center, movie producer James Fox and I located, handled, and photographed the very burned-paper specimens I had so long ago helped Hynek collect for Project Blue Book. Seeing the Socorro trace evidence was like seeing long lost friends! They looked just as they did the day we found them. James Fox and I had received exceptional clearance to handle and photograph Blue Book originals, instead of copies. That exception took nearly an hour to obtain. It was granted to us because we told them I was in the photo with Zamora and Chavez. Other archive users are given only photos and xerographic copies to examine or copy.
Most specimens collected were long-weathered tears off the sides of corrugated boxes, evidently blown over there from the nearby trash facility. All papers found had clearly laid in the ravine bottom weathering rain-after-rain. The material was well-altered by both water, temperature extremes, and sunlight.
I absolutely do NOT allege that what you see below, in Socorro sample PB4, is evidence of some advanced propulsion technology. It's true that the burns might seem a little odd, perhaps as though having been incurred mostly from a direction above. There are some intriguing edge scorches without black charring on those particular edges. I'm not saying that there might NOT be some effect of the Socorro object's landing and take-off propulsive down-flow on the paper shown, but just recommend caution against over-interpretation of what one sees.
Something possibly more intriguing is at the left side. There's a small brown scorch with oddly 'concentric' patterns of black centered around it. Notice how just the edge of the very old fold (shown oriented as found in the ravine bottom) is scorched but not very blackened.
Virtually all paper in the landing area had already been collected days before except for one small piece of paper which I found within the landing-gear quadrangle. Chavez and Zamora suggested we look to the west-southwest of the landing gear quadrangle, because in that direction one could see some grass and old ravine-bottom-weathered papers which seemed as though they might have been ecently scorched and even burned from above.
Although Hynek and I searched other areas outside of the area mentioned above,we found no other burned paper and saw no other seemingly burned grass.
Included here is a map of my own (not Hynek's, whose finds were very near mine) paper-find sites, drawn onto a later illustration (from my Socorro book), but based on my careful notes made when collected. Note the arrow on the upper right indicating approximate direction of approach. This was based on the account of Colorado tourists who stopped at Whiting Brothers service station operated by OpalGrinder. They reported seeing something before Zamora's sighting became known. The yellow area in my find-map is where I found the burned paper shown in the accompanying image.
Find-Map image is copyright 2009 (C) Ray Stanford:
There has been a lot of dis-information released to the public by unscientific people seem more interested in name-recognition and internet attention than in trying to do any scientific work on the Socorro case. There have been ridiculous suggestions that the paper Hynek collected might have been left over from pyrotechnics (fireworks) allegedly used to convince Zamora that he was seeing an exotic vehicle.
Hynek pointed out years ago that nothing he found at the site in any way whatsoever resembled casing material of pyrotechnics. He very accurately pointed out that most of the burned paper was from long-weathered paper sides of corrugated boxes, exactly as is the case with my Socorro paper specimen PB4 shown ere.
I personally handled every piece of paper Hynek collected (for the reasons explained above) and having what was characterized by researchers for a major corporation as "maybe the world's most sensitive sense of smell" -- explanation available on request ;) -- I swear on my life that nothing that either Hynek or I collected at the Socorro site had even the slightest trace of ’fireworks’ smell. Also, there was no smell of any substances such as gasoline or kerosene. Tests on samples done for the Air Force Foreign Technology Division detected zero chemical traces of fireworks or hydrocarbon (as from gasoline or kerosene) fuel.
All samples we collected showed undeniable signs of having long been weathering in the ravine.
But, in contrast, most of the papers had burn areas which looked very fresh, with darkened surfaces NOT sprinkled by tiny silt particles from ravine wash or even rain splatter. If not fresh, silting would have been in evidence from splatter during even light rains and, of course, as a result of any ravine flooding by desert rain storms.
Hopefully, this information will end the fantasies and unbridled self-serving suggestive propaganda that Hynek might have found paper residues of fireworks.
It should also be noted that the paper’s with burns were found by us exclusively in that limited cone-shaped cross-section of hypothesized landing-engine effect located west-southwest of the landing near the quadrangle. That happens to be the direction in which the bright down-flow from the landing thruster theoretically would have been directed to counter its west-southwesterly approach. The Colorado tourists described how they saw the object cross very low over their old green Cadillac and head to the area toward which they observed Zamora's police cruiser at the time of the event.
My thanks to Ben Moss, Tony Angiola for this opportunity to discuss a few more facts of the Socorro case. The best Socorro evidence is yet to come.
Astronomers have discovered what they say is the largest known structure in the universe: an incredibly big hole.
The “supervoid”, as it is known, is a spherical blob 1.8 billion light years across that is distinguished by its unusual emptiness.
István Szapudi, who led the work at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, described the object as possibly “the largest individual structure ever identified by humanity”.
Szapudi’s team was intentionally searching for the void because they believed that it could explain previous observations showing that part of the sky is unusually cool.
The so-called Cold Spot was discovered 10 years ago and has proved a sticking point for the best current models for how the universe evolved following the Big Bang. Cosmological theory allows for a bit of patchiness in the background temperature, due to warmer and cooler spots of various sizes emerging in the infant universe, but areas as large and cold as the Cold Spot are unexpected.
Prof Carlos Frenk, a cosmologist at the University of Durham, said: “The Cold Spot raised a lot of eyebrows. The real question was what was causing it and whether it was a challenge to orthodoxy.”
The latest study suggests that the Cold Spot can be partly explained by a gigantic region of emptiness at its centre, which drains energy from light travelling through it.
The supervoid is not an actual vacuum, as its name suggests, but has about 20% less stuff in it than our part of the universe – or any typical region. “Supervoids are not entirely empty, they’re under-dense,” said András Kovács, a co-author at the Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest.
The structure may sound unremarkable – hardly a standalone object even – but scientists say it is unprecedented given how evenly distributed the universe normally is at this spatial scale. “This is the greatest supervoid ever discovered,” Kovács said. “In combination of size and emptiness, our supervoid is still a very rare event. We can only expect a few supervoids this big in the observable universe.”
Previously, astronomers observing in the direction of the Cold Spot had established that there was no distant void in that part of the sky, but until now the nearer sky had not been surveyed.
The latest study used the Hawaii’s Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) telescope located on Haleakala, Maui, and Nasa’s Wide Field Survey Explorer (WISE) satellite to count the number of galaxies in a patch of sky around 3 billion light years away – relatively close in the cosmic scheme of things.
The survey, described in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, confirmed that there was a roughly spherical region that was far less densely populated by galaxies than the surrounding sky and that it was centred on the Cold Spot.
However, rather than solving the puzzle the latest discovery has only served to deepen the mystery. “It just pushed the explanation one layer deeper,” said Dr Roberto Trotta, a cosmologist at Imperial College London. “Now we have to figure out how does the void itself form. It’s still a rare event.”
Even more perplexing, according to Frenk, is the fact that the supervoid can only account for about 10% of the Cold Spot’s temperature dip.
“The void itself I’m not so unhappy about. It’s like the Everest of voids – there has to be one that’s bigger than the rest,” he said. “But it doesn’t explain the whole Cold Spot, which we’re still in the dark about.”
This partial explanation could point to the existence of “exotic physics”: new weird effects that scientists don’t yet know about.
The existence of an empty patch helps explain the Cold Spot because assuming the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate, photons of light would be expected to lose energy (cool) as they cross a void.
This is because the photons convert kinetic energy to gravitational potential as they travel to the heart of the void and get further from denser surrounding patches of universe – think of it as climbing a hill. In a stationary universe, the situation would be symmetrical and so the photons would regain the lost energy on the way out of the void (down the hill). In an accelerated expansion of the universe, however, everything is effectively becoming less dense as space is stretched out, so voids become relatively shallower over time. This means by the time the light descends the virtual hill, the hill has become flatter and the light cannot pick up all the energy it lost on the way in. This means the light exits with a longer wavelength, corresponding to a cooler temperature.
The observation that the Cold Spot and supervoid coincide would fit with the idea that the universe is indeed expanding at an accelerating rate, which scientists put down to forces linked to dark energy. “This is independent evidence, in case anyone doubts it, for the existence of dark energy,” said Frenk.
This article was amended on the 21st of April to make it clear that light travels at a constant speed, but changes wavelength.
Thousands upon thousands of UFO sightings are so perplexing that they are reported every year to authorities around the world. There are so many reports and sighting occurring today that it’s become impossible for anybody to really deny that something is going on in our skies. To put it in the words of Bigelow Aerospace Director of Operations, Mike Gold, with regards to government agencies taking UFO reports:
“I am glad someone is taking them, because these are important issues that deserve serious attention.”(source)
Indeed they are serious. As pointed out in many of my previous posts, UFOs are commonly tracked on radar and at the same time visually confirmed by military pilots and more. To learn more about what happens when a UFO is tracked on military radar, you can click here.
Despite this fact, Councillor to Barack Obama was still unable to secure the disclosure of UFO-related documents. He said it was one of his biggest regrets of the 2014 year; you can read more about that story here.
“I’m skeptical about many things, including the notion that government always knows best, and that the people can’t be trusted with the truth. The time to pull the curtain back on this subject is long overdue. We have statements from the most credible sources – those in a position to know – about a fascinating phenomenon, the nature of which is yet to be determined.” – John Podesta (taken from Leslie Kean’s 2010 New York Times bestseller, “UFOs: Generals, Pilots, And Government Officials Go On The Record,” for which Podesta wrote the forward)
One great example of strange objects that are commonly seen in the sky comes from the Yukon, a province in Canada situated on the Northwest side of the country. It’s a remote area, nowhere near any major cities or populated areas. This reported sighting happened on December 11th, 1996 near a place called Fox Lake. It’s extrememly cold in this part of the country at this time of year – it’s not far from Alaska – and again, it is hundreds of miles from any major city or heavily populated public area.
According to more than 20 witnesses, a very large aerial object with very bright lights hovered near the lake (Fox Lake) between 8pm and 9pm.
The picture you see as the cover for this article was done by Canadian engineer Martin Jasek, who wrote a detailed account of the event after he investigated it for himself.
“Two of the witnesses were cousins, driving in separate vehicles. Each saw it over the lake, slammed on their brakes, and got out of their vehicles. They watched the huge object as it slowly drifted towards one of them and was soon almost directly overhead. It then moved slowly across the highway and over a hill to the east, whereupon it was lost to view.” (1)
“While the two cousins were observing this object, a married couple with their baby were a bit farther to the south along the same highway, driving toward them. They too saw the object. By the time they caught up with the cousins and pulled over, the object had moved off. The married couple continued driving until they arrived at a lodge farther ahead. There, they told the owner abougt what they had seen. He promptly recounted a sighting from an earlier witness, who had gotten very close to this object. (1)
“At the nearby village of Pelly Crossing, other people described the same object. In one case it seemed to respond to a man’s flashlight by accelerating towards him. When he turned off his flashlight, the object stopped. By then it had gotten quite close to him, filling much of the sky. It also emitted several beams of light, including one that swooped along the ground. They ran ran across a clearing, perhaps to get to a better view. When he turned to look for the object, it was gone.” (1)
Just imagine seeing something like this. How remarkable would that be? I myself have had a number of fairly remarkable UFO encounters, even with a few members here at Colletive-Evolution. As a result of all of the evidence supporting the phenomena, along with my own experiences, I have been fascinated with this subject for a very long time.
This case has been investigated by many, and most of the interviews with the witnesses are available online. Here is a video that has a few of them describing their experience in person, but again, more are available online.
This is one out of many extraordinary sightings that has occured around the world, and judging by ancient artwork and history, it seems to have been happening for a very long time. One example would be, for example, the aboriginal community in Canada. Their stories have not been passed down through documentation, but through an oral storytelling tradition. These stories often speak of spiritual beings from another world.
“My people tell of Star People who came to us many generations ago. The Star people brought spiritual teachings and stories and maps of the cosmos and they offered these freely. They were kind, loving, and set a great example. When they left us, my people say there was a loneliness like no other.” - Richard Wagamese, Ojibway Author (source)
If you put all of these teachings and stories from multiple cultures around the world together with the evidence that is available today, things start to seem quite strange – and very real.
This particular case included various drawings and detailed interviews with many of the people who witnessed the object.
A Serious Issue That Deserves Serious Attention.
For years, UFOs have received “serious attention” (as Mike Gold puts it) from government/military agencies and more, but it’s only now, thanks to the declassification of files, that people have been allowed to see the truth – that yes, something important is going on here, and has been for a long time.
Documents released by the National Security Agency (NSA) reveal what is recorded when a UFO is being tracked on radar. HERE is one example. HERE is a four page U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency and NSA report describing a particular encounter in great detail;
“As the F-4 approached a range of 25 nautical miles it lost all instrumentation and communications. When the F-4 turned away from the object and apparently was no longer a threat to it, the aircraft regained all instrumentation and communications. Another brightly lighted object came out of the original object. The second object headed straight toward the F4. ”
“Yes there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered. We are not alone in the universe, they have been coming here for a long time.” (source) (source) – Apollo 14 Astronaut, Air Force Captain and Founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, Dr. Edgar Mitchell
“Today we cannot produce machines that fly the same as UFOs do. They are flying by means of artificial fields of gravity. (I’d like to mention that there is a video of Dr. Brian O’leary, NASA astronaut and Princeton physics professor alluding to this same idea, you can view it here) We cannot take credit for our record advancement in certain scientific fields alone, we have been helped by people from other worlds.” – 1954, Professor Herman Oberth, NASA Space Scientist, one of the founding fathers of rocketry and aeronautics. (source)
If you want more proof, look no further than the highly publicized case of the “Phoenix Lights” – you can read more about that here – or the incident in Ruwa, Zimbabwe where more than 60 school children witnessed something spectacular. You can read more about that here. Again, we also have thousands upon thousands of declassified documents released pertaning to this phenomenon, as well as some remarkable statements by “people in high places.” You can view those here. That should leave little doubt in readers’ minds as to the reality and seriousness of this issue – one that has been ignored and ridiculed for decades. But that all seems to be changing, and it’s important for several reasons, from a curiousity standpoint, to a scientific/philosophical/technological standpoint and more.

THOUSANDS Creepy WORMS Rain Down on Norway and No One Knows Why
THOUSANDS Creepy WORMS Rain Down on Norway and No One Knows Why
April 21, 2015- Send your “early bird” jokes to Norway where half the country could use a cheering up after being covered by a rain of live earthworms. Scientists and meteorologists are at a loss when asked for a cause by Norwegians wiping worms from their windows and Winnebagos and wondering if the Icelandic worm monster known as Lagarfljót has learned to fly and reproduce.
The worms were first reported by Karstein Erstad who encountered them on April 12 while skiing in the mountains outside Bergen on the western coast of southern Norway.
I saw thousands of earthworms on the surface of the snow. When I found them on the snow they seemed to be dead, but when I put them in my hand I found that they were alive.
Bergen was convinced the worms fell from the sky since the snow was up to a meter deep on the slopes. After a local news station related his discovery, reports began coming in from across southern Norway of worm rains – from Lindås and Suldal near Bergen to Femunden on the Swedish border. A resident of Nordvestlandet, a city where houses with grass roofs are common, reported finding worms digging into his roof.
Trond Haraldsen, a scientist and expert in soil and environment at the Norwegian Institute for Agricultural and Environmental Research, says the slime on the worms indicates they were probably flown to the ski slopes and other areas while riding on leaves. The slime helps worms spend the winter months glued to leaves and blades of grass in fields. That makes it easy for a strong spring storm or tornado to lift them up and carry them for huge distances. Haraldsen also said that earthworm rains like this are only seen after very mild winters.
While Haraldsen is confident that this is how the worms rained down by the thousands on Karstein Erstad and southern Norway, he’s baffled by where they came from and what local weather conditions lifted and carried them. He and other researchers will continue to look for clues.
Meanwhile, the rest of Norway will continue to dodge falling worms, early birds and bad jokes.
DEATH OF TWO CHILDREN LINKED TO UFO ACTIVITY MARCH 1970 ……. ENFIELD ENGLAND
I decided to join B.U.F.O.R.A. as an Area investigator, London. This position I had taken up afterwards I got to know – very well, as well as B.U.F.O.R.A. research procedures. I then went on investigations with (redacted) the investigation which was discussed was the strange disappearance of two Enfield children, in mid March 1970. A boy and a girl aged between 11 and 12; the girls name (redacted) was the boys name unknown. The two children lived a quarter of a mile north northwest of the King George the fifth reservoir, which is two miles long and half a mile wide. The two children had disappeared in mid-March and later turned up in June of the same year, dead in a clump of trees, a quarter of a mile North northeast of the reservoir, less than 350 yards from a well lit main road. Police with tracker dogs went over the entire area where the two children had lived, disappeared and reappeared. It seems strange that they should disappear for three months, then reappear next to a clump of trees; which had somehow been scorched from above. You may think that this has nothing to do with U.F.O.s, but I shall now relate the uncanny events that surrounded their deaths, and perhaps I shall be able to show you how I think the two incidents relate. Even though there is a six month period between my U.F.O. sighting and the death of these two children, you will see how the evidence matches up. Meaning that when murder as we know it is ruled out, why then did the local press; The Waltham Forest Guardian Independent print the following: 1) They died from burn marks (possibly radiation or microwaves?) 2) They died from over exposure. 3) It went on to say that nobody knew how this could have happened. 4) Their bodies were not found close together, and one of the girls shoes was missing. Isn’t it strange that the other shoe the girl was wearing was clean? U.F.O.s have been known to attack and kill animals and leave burn marks (possibly radiation) on them. There is little possibility that the sun could have left such burns. And it is equally unlikely that they should just lay down and die from over exposure. U.F.O.s hover above tops of trees and the ground and scorch the natural vegetation and nothing ever grows there again! This is the case of the trees where the children were found. Also, why were the police in the area for several weeks after the children were found, and why did they take away samples of the ground for analysis. In fact they removed part of the bushes from where the children were found. If you drop two stones from the air they will not land in the same place or spot. As mentioned (their bodies were not found together). I strongly believe that they came into contact with alien beings, the common denominator being the King George the fifth reservoir. I feel that they died under strange duress and they were found at the time of a strong U.F.O. flap (a sighting every two or three weeks) in the immediate and myself interviewed some people in June-July 1972 at Sewardstone Berry, near where her and her boyfriend were found dead off of Sewardstone, which runs between Chingford and Waltham Abbey, Essex. But to no avail they seemed to be very scared when asked questions etc.
In mid-June 1970 when the childrens bodies were first found (redacted) myself were playing a game of chess at at around 1Opm, suddenly there were at least two to three police cars that came hurling along (redacted) the road. At the time my parents were out and we wondered what was happening. The date I can’t remember, but I do remember we piled into my Ford Popular and followed the police cars to Sewardstoneberry; three miles down the road towards Waltham Abbey, Essex. When we arrived there were crowds of people by the fence in Sewardstone Road; a well lit main road. The police were everywhere, the time being 10.45 pm. The headlights from the police cars could be seen 350 yards away at the clump of trees, where they found (redacted) and her boyfriend dead. As mentioned both police and Wickstead and Nipperead Ministry of Defence were there for sometime afterwards, and the parents (redacted) her boyfriend didn’t get there bodies back for three months after they were found dead?
The Public Records Act states that the Ministry Of Defence Official Secrets Act states that any U.F.O. reports (whether Close Encounters or just LITS) from members of the public should be treated by the department as strictly confidential. As U.F.O. records are closed to public scrutiny; until they become available in accordance with The Public Records Act (section 1 and section 2 of The Official Secrets Act). At the end of a thirty year period of time (covering The Official Secrets Act) we will have to in certain cases look at all the points of view very carefully indeed.
A Scientist Found THIS On The Bottom Of The Ocean. And It’s The Stuff Of Science Fiction
A Scientist Found THIS On The Bottom Of The Ocean. And It’s The Stuff Of Science Fiction
April 21, 2015 - Underwater archeologist Frank Goddio has dedicated his entire life to searching for remnants of lost civilizations from the past. But even he wasn’t expecting what he found deep below the ocean’s surface in the Abu Qir Bay, on the coast of Egypt.
No, it’s not the lost city of Atlantis… but it’s close enough. Deep beneath the surface of the Mediterranean Sea, he has found the sunken Egytian city of Thonis-Heracleion, which has long been forgotten by time.
The city of Thonis-Heracleion was lost to the sea a long time ago.
It was a port city, likely founded somewhere around the 8th century B.C.
Following a series of natural disasters, the city was lost close to the 8th century A.D.
Its discovery has unearthed countless artifacts.
Such as this ancient statue of a pharaoh.
Here it can be seen as the team works to bring it to the surface.
First time above water in 1200 years or so.
Each incredible object sheds more light about this ancient city and its culture.
What a monumental discovery.

Considering that we’ve only explored a tiny fraction of the world’s oceans, it’s incredible to consider just how much more must be out there.
Along with black holes, neutron stars are the result of stars collapsing under gravity once their fuel burns out, until their density is about the same as that of the nucleus of an atom, at which point the protons and electrons “melt” into pure neutrons. Just how dense are we talking? If you had a piece of neutron star the size of a mere sugar cube, it would weigh a whopping 100 million tons. Only black holes are denser.
Scientists suspect that something akin to a quark-gluon plasma may lie at the innermost core, while more conventional matter comprises the outermost edges of the star. In between, making up the crust, is a rare state of degenerate matter known as “nuclear pasta” (made up not just of neutrons, but also protons and electrons). And the various shapes such “pasta” takes represent a series of phase transitions as this boundary layer goes from lumpy to smooth.
At a press conference of the APS April Meeting this past weekend in Baltimore, Maryland, Indiana University graduate student Matt Caplan gave an overview of the ongoing work in Charles Horowitz’s lab, running intricate computer simulations of various types of nuclear pasta to calculate the respective properties, in hopes of learning more about the evolution of neutron stars. It has to be simulated, because the rare conditions necessary for the pasta to form can really only be found in the cores of neutron stars.
The notion of nuclear pasta emerged a few years ago as a possible explanation for the unusual behavior of certain kinds of neutron stars. They come into existence spinning rapidly — as fast as several rotations per second — and gradually slow down over time as energy dissipates. But the x-ray pulsar variety (the brightest and hence easiest to spot) eventually hit a steady state, completing a rotation once every 12 seconds or so. There should, in theory, be some x-ray pulsars with slower spin rates — or a good reason why this is clearly not the case.
In 2013, a team of scientists at the University of Alicante in Spain proposed that the difference had to do with whether the crust at a star’s surface was lumpy or smooth, based on a series of computer simulations investigating different crust configurations. Stars with lumpy crusts would slow down as usual, but in just 100,000 years — a blink of an eye in a stellar lifetime — they would settle into a steady state of one rotation every 10-20 seconds for the next million years. This didn’t happen in those stars with smoother crusts; they just kept spinning more and more slowly — as slow as one rotation every 100 seconds.
And just what makes a crust lumpy rather than smooth? The Spanish scientists proposed lumpy crusts are filled with nuclear pasta. Per New Scientist: “Because neutron stars are so dense, atomic nuclei are packed together tightly in the crust. The particles in these compacted nuclei could be forced into exotic groupings that resemble spaghetti, macaroni, and layers of lasagna. Mixing these shapes together would make it bumpier than one that only contains regular nuclei arranged in orderly crystals.”
The various shapes of pasta represent different stages in a phase transition process. To with.

Gnocchi Phase: This is a semi-spherical phase resembling those yummy potato-based dumplings that perhaps aren’t technically pasta, but heck, close enough.
Spaghetti Phase: At some point, as compression continues to intensity, there just isn’t sufficient electric repulsion in protons to maintain a spherical shape, so the gnocchi phase gets crushed into long spaghetti-like strands.
Lasagna Phase: Eventually the compression will become so strong that the rods of spaghetti fuse together forming sheets — ergo, this is dubbed the lasagna phase.
Penne (or Anti-Spaghetti) Phase: At this point the outer core of the star is pretty far along in the phase transition process, looking more uniform as compression continues, with intermittent cylindrical voids. This is the penultimate stage. As the process continues, the voids become more spherical, before smoothing out the remaining lumps.
The latest paper on the spin rates of neutron stars and how they might be affected by nuclear pasta appeared in Physical Review Letters in February of this year, adding yet another a new wrinkle to this fascinating form of matter. Specifically, the latest computer simulations revealed possible topological defects within the various pasta shapes, which may reduce the thermal and electrical conductivity of the star, thereby causing the magnetic fields to dissipate much more quickly than expected. Such stars radiate less energy into space, which stabilizes their rotation rate.
For instance, that lasagna phase of nuclear pasta could form corkscrew-shaped defects connecting the layers of “lasagna.” “I have been trying for years to imagine neutron stars as geologic worlds with different kinds of nuclear rocks, faults, mountains,” Horowitz told Space.com. “Then, one molecular dynamics simulation found a mistake — a defect in otherwise regularly perfect pasta shapes that persisted for a very long time.”
Further analysis revealed that the simulations’ prediction of evidence for crust cooling — an indicator of decreased conductivity — for a particular neutron star match quite well with observational data gathered by the Chandra X-ray telescope. Chances are, such topological defects may play a role in other unusual aspects of neutron stars — all part of the ongoing quest to understand how matter behaves when compressed to its densest form.
