UFO Moves Over Small Town As They Sleep, Aug 15, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Aug 15, 2016 but reported in Dec 2016 Location of sighting: Bolton, GB Source: MUFON 79014 This UFO would be mistaken by many to be a meteor, but it has no tail and is moving very slowly at a horizontal position. The object is bright and not too far above the city. Caught by a home security camera, the UFO would have normal gone unnoticed, but cams are becoming the essential tools that will bring about disclosure. Scott C. Waring Eyewitness states:
We were actually on holiday away from home when we caught this ufo on our surveillance camera at home. We noticed the following morning that we had captured something strange. We cannot find anyone else at this moment in time who saw it too but to record it on video I think is very lucky. On the video it has recorded the date and time. On the video after our security light comes on and then goes off a few seconds later, above the neighbours houses but further away a light appears to the centre of the screen. This light seems to have a trail after it. We thought we were watching a meteor at first but realising it was quite big and not straight up in the sky, it would have to be pretty close to the earth if it was. Also, the light changes direction, it actually turns around and comes a little closer as it goes back to the same direction it came from. The light comes into view in the centre of the screen and moves left, when it turns around it slightly disappears behind a tree but can still be seen. When it comes back it seems to come closer and moves off to the right and in the same direction it came from. I feel as it was moving over some water to the outskirts of our village.
This footage from the last year has made rounds online showing one strange bright round object in the sky that bursts into three.
Jared A, a YouTube user, drove along Alaska at three early in the morning when he noticed a burning bright light.
He was able to grab a camera and record the object split into two. One of them had vanished, and the other one erupted into three separate lights, which then formed a triangle in the sky and disappeared.
Jared posted the video to YouTube first, but more detailed explanations were shared on Reddit.
He wrote that he was about to approach the Morris Thompson Visiter Centre area when he looked up again and spotted a bright light went straight down and vanished.
Jared said that the one shown in the video just kept on flashing. He felt afraid but excited at the same time with the anomaly he witnessed.
He also pointed out that the object was brighter than in the video.
Some UFO enthusiasts believe the object is from another planet. One Reddit user described it as genuinely unearthly that might make to history books.
Another user said that it was just amazing to see in the video one light split into two and then three different objects separately.
As expected, not everyone was convinced about the UFO theory.
A YouTube user said that it looked more of strobes on a helicopter.
Another one said that it was just a weather balloon.
The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) are investigating the photographs from the sighting of a flying saucer that snapped over homes and allegedly sprayed chemicals into the air.
The unnamed witness said that he happened to look up and saw what he first thought a passenger plane on fire.
A few seconds later, he realized that it was not a plane. He described the aerial thing as a blunt silver-domed object having orange lights around the UFO’s middle. He added that it was a usual domed UFO looking craft.
Eventually, it became apparent to the witness that the craft was in trouble. The witness saw no flame or intense burning, but some kind of a vapor trail was left. He said that the vapor trail did not appear to be from any place on the craft. It nearly enshrouded the craft, slipped off and fell behind. The trail then dissipated within seconds later, according to the witness.
He thought the trail was radioactive or highly poisonous. He noticed an increased intensity of the rumbling hiss as the craft left the smoke.
The sighting took place on July 20, 2013, at around 11 am in Huntington Beach, California, but has only been reported to MUFON recently.
The witness estimated the object to be a mile away, moving to south or southwest. He further guessed the size to be the same of a school bus at approximately 35 to 40 feet wide.
The witness managed to get photos of the mysterious aerial thing as it moved from right to left towards the coast.
UFOs do make trails behind them sometimes, but they do it on purpose. UFOs make cloud tunnels for others to follow safely inside without being seen, but here its trying to look like a jet. Such antics by aliens works more often than not, so its difficult to laugh at them when the majority of the world is still in the dark about the existence aliens. When looking at the UFO, you see its bottom is in the shape of an alien face, the face of the species flying it. This sighting is right next to the English Channel where only a few km away isGuernsey...an island where two planes recorded several yellow mile long disks over the ocean...an area of French military airspace, which shows the French have allotted a area of ocean to the aliens. Scott C. Waring News states:
A PROFESSIONAL UFO spotter has captured pictures of his first UFO of 2017. John Mooner, from Newton Abbot, who calls himself the chief photographer for World UFO Photos, snapped the strange object when he was 'sky watching' on Monday at around 1.30pm. Mr Mooner said: "I decided to go out sky watching and I had my trusty Nikon P900 camera at the ready. "After about an hour of sky watching I spotted a faint contrail and began to zoom in. "At a higher magnification I could clearly see that this contrail was not coming from a plane, but was in fact coming from a round object that appeared to be glowing. "The round glowing object was at a very high altitude and I doubt that many people would be able to see this without a telephoto lens or a pair of high zoom binoculars. "The object was moving at a high rate of speed across the sky and I had real trouble stabilizing it in the camera's viewfinder. "I began taking photographs of this strange object and I managed to take six photographs that show the movement of this object." Mr Mooner, who call himself the chief photographer for World UFO Photos, said it was a good start to the year for UFO spotters. "This is my first UFO photographs of 2017 and I can't wait to photograph more UFOs over Devon," he added.
Two objects are currently hurtling towards Earth’s orbit and will come close to Earth in January and February.
One of the bodies is a comet known as C/2016 U1 NEOWISE, which was first discovered by Nasa’s NEOWISE mission – the asteroid hunting project – in October last year, is set to reach its closest point on January 14.
According to Nasa’s Paul Chodas, the comet ”has a good chance of becoming visible through a good pair of binoculars, although we can't be sure because a comet's brightness is notoriously unpredictable.”
There is a bit of confusion surrounding the other object however, with experts unsure as to whether it is a comet or an asteroid.
GETTY
An asteroid and potentially a comet are hurtling towards Earth
The comet ”has a good chance of becoming visible through a good pair of binoculars"
The object in question has been dubbed 2016 WF9 is not followed by a trail of icy debris, like a comet usually does, but it does seem to have the reflective body structure of a comet.
As it approaches, scientists will be studying it to confirm what type of celestial body it is.
GETTY
Comets are made up of icy material
Nasa’s Deputy Principal Investigator James Bauer, of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said: "2016 WF9 could have cometary origins.
"This object illustrates that the boundary between asteroids and comets is a blurry one; perhaps over time this object has lost the majority of the volatiles that linger on or just under its surface."
It is due to reach its closest point to Earth on February 25 when it will be just 32 million miles away – while that seems a safe distance, in galactic terms it is not far at all.
While this time around it does not pose any danger, experts worry that when it returns, as it orbits Jupiter and the Sun, it could be significantly closer.
The truth embargo and official disclosure regarding extraterrestrials is still an issue.
Reality check:Hillary Clinton didn’t win the election so she will not be the disclosure president. But the truth embargo and official disclosure regarding extraterrestrials is still an issue. So it’s time for plan B: the Congressional Hearings Initiative.
In April and May of 2013, the Paradigm Research Group hosted the first citizen hearings on disclosure. The 30 hours of hearings were designed to look and feel like congressional hearings and even employed several former congressional representatives to chair the proceedings. The mainstream media yawned, made fun of and most certainly ignored the proceedings. Nobody in Congress stepped up to the plate and called for UFO disclosure hearings.
Without a doubt, it’s time for Congress to do its job and look into the truth embargo.
This issue really boils down to research money, and in our system of government for most major scientific research, the purse strings are held by Congress. The truth is, getting any kind of serious research done, like the kind that is done by the National Academy of Science, requires congressional support in the form of funding. If we’re talking about Congress, then we have to talk about voter numbers.
In 2012, National Geographic sponsored a national poll to measure interest on the topic of UFOs. The poll indicated that 36 percent of Americans, or about 80 million people, believe in UFOS.
In New York State, 36 percent translated to about 7.11 million, or most of upstate. The poll also found that 47 percent of Americans were on the fence about the topic and 17 percent flat out didn’t believe in UFOS.
Interestingly, the poll revealed that 80 percent believe that the government is hiding what it knows about UFOs. Nationally, that’s about 255 million people. Here in New York state, its 15.8 million of our 19.75 million residents. That’s a lot of voter interest in the topic of UFOs. These very same voters don’t think that the government isn’t being square with us.
Let’s think about this for a moment: Getting a member of Congress to call for hearings about UFOs carries a stiff media stigma that’s been culturally reinforced for over 50 years. In my opinion, what is needed is a team effort to give any one Congress member cover. This could be done by an individual state’s congressional delegation calling for such hearings.
In that line of thinking I have compiled a statistical list of the past 14 years worth of New York states’ 5,141 UFO sightings. The data has been gathered from the databases of National UFO Reporting Center and from the Mutual UFO Network.
I have ranked those UFO sighting statistics by New York Congressional Districts in the chart below:
Click to enlarge.
Click to enlarge.
As you can see from the data presented, there are many New York congressional districts that have large amounts of eye witness UFO reports.
Those 5,141 reports rank New York sixth in the nation. The United States as a whole logged over 100,000 sighting reports from 2001 through 2015, and sightings are on the rise.
Note that the 27th District in Western New York, the 21st District in the North Country, and the 1st District of Long Island are UFO sighting hot spots. With all the interest in border security we heard during the presidential election, you’d think the congressional representatives of the 1st, 21st and 27th border districts would be extremely interested in potential security issues.
Since 2001 we’ve all been asked to remove our shoes, have body pat downs in airports and most importantly told to “report what we see.” We’ve done our part. It is time for Congress to start asking serious questions about what goes on over our heads.
Perhaps a little plan B voter pressure might encourage our state’s congressional delegation to call for hearings on disclosure. I encourage my New York state readers to contact their congress person and ask them to support hearings.
‘It was stood still in the sky for some hours and then decided to move and then vanish. We got photos too.’
The object, which is most likely not a UFO, was initially dismissed as a star, but Mark insists he later windows on it.
He said: ‘If you look closely you can see what appears to be windows. I have never seen anything likethis.
‘As for believing in aliens, I’ve always thought we are not alone in the universe and hoped to see something that would make me believe they would visit us.
Mark believes the object came from the US after he noticed it was traveling east from Dawlish.
His post led to dozens of people speculating at what it could be, with most people saying it was probably not a UFO.
Wendy Seaman wrote: ‘Looks like the Enterprise. Are you sure it wasn’t a satellite, one goes over about 4ish daily. When its a clear day you can see it clearly.’
Paul Oxenham said: ‘It could have been someone’s drone.’
But Steph Pommier wasn’t going to put it off that easily, writing: ‘UFOs have been spotted since the beginning of Man. Just accept it. We cannot know nor control everything.’

Florida helicopter pilot reports ‘glowing craft’ (Video)
Florida helicopter pilot reports ‘glowing craft’ (Video)
A Florida witness at Orlando who is also a helicopter pilot reported watching and videotaping a “glowing craft” at about 1,500 feet altitude that eventually “flew upward and vanished,” according to testimony in Case 81052 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was outside at 5:24 p.m. on December 18, 2016, when the incident occurred.
“Had a feeling to look up as if I had to, and then I saw the glowing craft fly from south direction to north,” the witness stated.“It was flying high, but well below the commercial airplanes flight altitude that were in traffic during the afternoon.”
The witness then took out a cell phone and shot video.

“It was lower than the clouds. I don’t know the size of the craft, but I’m guessing that it was flying at 1,500 feet. I filmed it and I saw it go inside a very small cloud. It should had flown out of it in a second, but it didn’t. I thought that somehow it had disappeared and stopped filming it. But I kept staring at that cloud. Then after quite sometime, I saw it come out of the same small cloud. It turned and flew upwards and vanished.”
The witness is sure that the object was not something known.
“I’m a certificate helicopter pilot and I know that this was not a plane, helicopter, rocket, meteor, birds, balloons, blimp, etcetera.”

The case was investigated by Florida MUFON Field Investigator James Thomas Horne and closed as an Unknown. In addition to two pieces of video, the witness also included three still frames from the video.
“This is not a flight characteristic of a conventional aircraft,” Horne stated in his report. The witness pointed out that the object’s vector was divergent from theusual flight path for air traffic in his area. The object did not visually appear to be a meteor from the video.Witness is a helicopter pilot and shows specificknowledge in the interview process.No correlating cases.It is suggested that the case be recorded as UAV.”

A Promising Spot for Life on Mars
A Promising Spot for Life on Mars
By Alison Hawkes, Astrobiology Magazine
As NASA's Mars rover Curiosity makes its way up the central peak of Gale Crater, it has been gathering evidence from ancient lake beds and long ago groundwater environments that are promising for life.
Scientists in charge of the mission gave an update of their findings Dec. 13 at the American Geophysical Union's annual fall meeting in San Francisco, saying the landing site at Gale Crater had exceeded their expectations. They said they have "hit a jackpot" of exposed mineral layers as the rover moves up Mount Sharp, offering a glimpse into the geologic history of the site and how global environmental conditions might have changed on Mars over the course of millions of years.
"We see all of the properties in place that we really like to associate with habitability," said mission team member John Grotzinger, a geologist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. "There's nothing extreme here. This is all good for habitability over time." [The Life on Mars Search: Photo Time Line]
Gale Crater is the lowest point within thousands of kilometers in all directions, and scientists believe water once pooled there into a lake and also seeped underground. They believe the groundwater may have persisted even after the surface water dried up, offering a prolonged period for life to persist. So far, there's been no evidence of life, microbial or otherwise, but if Mars did once support living organisms, this would have been one of the most likely spots on the Red Planet.
After traveling 9 miles (15 kilometers) from its landing site, Curiosity has now entered a critical part of its mission, boring into the exposed mudstone every 82 feet (25 meters) as it goes uphill to progressively younger layers and analyzing the contents of the fractured rock.
"You might think mudstones would be boring, but they're definitely not," said Curiosity deputy project scientist Joy Crisp, of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena.
One clue to the changing conditions is the type of iron oxide present in the rocks. The lower, more ancient layers appear to be dominated by the mineral magnetite, indicating less weathering in the environment. Meanwhile, the upper rock layers show a greater amount of oxidizing hematite, a sign of chemical reactivity that would indicate a more acidic environment, though not extremely so.
"It's acidic, but never super-acidic. It's totally the kind of environment where an acidophilic organism could enjoy it," said Grotzinger.
Curiosity has also detected the element boron for the first time on Mars, and it’s appearing within mineral veins that are mainly comprised of calcium sulfate. On Earth, boron — or rather, a certain form of it — is a component in the formation of RNA, usually found in arid sites with much-evaporated water like in Death Valley National Park in California.
"The only problem with this is, we don't know what form of boron it is," said Patrick Gasda, of Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. If the kind of boron present on Mars is found to be similar to what we see on Earth, that would be a strong sign that the ancient groundwater that formed these veins would have been between 32 degrees and 140 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 60 degrees Celsius) and a neutral-to-alkaline pH, making the location entirely plausible for life, researchers said.
The boron was identified by Curiosity's ChemCam instrument, a laser-shooting device that vaporizes materials and then uses a spectrograph to analyze the elemental composition of the resulting plasma of super-heated ions and electrons. The scientists propose that the boron was deposited there by moving water, suggesting a dynamic system in which minerals and elements interacted with groundwater and surface water as it moved through the landscape.
"We are seeing chemical complexity indicating a long, interactive history with the water," said Grotzinger. "The more complicated the chemistry is, the better it is for habitability. The boron, hematite and clay minerals underline the mobility of elements and electrons, and that is good for life."
The scientists also gave a brief update on how Curiosity is faring. The rover continues to operate, although it has faced some recent malfunctions, including a break in the motor of the drill feed, a piece responsible for moving the drill up and down during rock sampling. Mission scientists are currently troubleshooting that problem with the hope of keeping the Curiosity drill going, though the rover has already well exceeded its nominal two-year mission that began in 2012.
Earth Scientists Are Freaking Out. NASA Urges Calm.
Earth Scientists Are Freaking Out. NASA Urges Calm.
By Debra Werner, SpaceNews
At a time when NASA earth scientists are concerned their research may be scuttled by the incoming Trump administration, the space agency's top science official is preaching pragmatism and unity.
The names of the two key Trump administration figures who will have the most significant impact on NASA's future — the new NASA administrator and the director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy — have not been announced. To put that in scientific terms, all the rumor and discussion swirling around the scientific community about NASA's future under a Trump presidency is noise, "not signal," said Thomas Zurbuchen, who took over as the leader of NASA's Science Mission Directorate in October.
"You are leaders in your community, please be a source of signal, not a source of noise," Zurbuchen said Dec. 12 during the annual Earth Science Town Hall meeting at the American Geophysical Union conference in San Francisco. [Analysis: The Biggest Space Issues Facing the Trump Administration]
Although it is possible that NASA's Earth Science program "might get somewhat smaller in the new administration, it is not at all obvious to me that is going to happen," said Michael Freilich, NASA Earth Science Division director. "I am actually optimistic the benefits will be recognized as they have in the past."
"You have earned tremendous credibility from your work over the years," Freilich said through a two-way internet link that allowed him to interact with people at the town hall from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, where he was awaiting the launch of NASA's Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System. "You earned that credibility by being good scientists, by being logical, attacking problems and letting the data speak for themselves. We don't do policy in NASA. We provide the information for all the policymakers to draw their own conclusions."
Even if NASA's Earth science program shrinks, scientists should focus diligently on their work instead of "spending time pining for what could have been," Freilich said.
Zurbuchen also emphasized the importance of producing high-quality research. "Let's behave like scientists and deal with absolute ethics with our science," he said. "At the end, history will judge us by whether we did the right thing."
Funding for NASA's Earth science program has traditionally waxed and waned with changing administrations. Funding as a percent of NASA's overall budget declined sharply from 2001 to 2006, the early years of the George W. Bush presidency, dipping from about 11 percent of NASA's budget to six percent. It was not until NASA's first Earth science decadal survey published in January 2007 declared that the space agency's Earth-observing satellite system "was in danger of collapsing" that funding began to rise, Freilich said.
Since 2007, NASA's Earth science budget has climbed back up to comprise about 10 percent of the agency's budget, nearly $1.93 billion in 2016. With the money appropriated since 2007, NASA has "truly revitalized our space-based Earth-observation system," Freilich said.
NASA has 19 major Earth science missions flying on satellites and instruments mounted on the International Space Station. The space agency plans to launch about 20 Earth science missions between late 2016 to 2023, including small satellites, cubesats and space station instruments. "We will continue launching several missions per year on average," Freilich said. [50 Years of Presidential Visions for Space Exploration]
No Ordinary Time
NASA's Earth Science Division also is working with other U.S. government agencies to identify Earth-observation data they are interested in acquiring in 2017 through a new program, Interagency Satellite Needs-Collection Process, led by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.
"We have embraced that process," Freilich said, noting that agencies have submitted requests for 77 data products that NASA might be able to obtain from Earth-observation satellites. "Perhaps subtle changes to our programs could address the needs of other federal agencies," Freilich said. "In a time of transition, demonstrating that we do support other agencies is of paramount importance."
That type of comment was a clear indication that this was no ordinary town hall, which traditionally is a relatively well-attended meeting of scientists keeping tabs on NASA's Earth science portfolio. This year, many scientists claimed seats in the meeting room before the previous session ended. By the time Freilich began to speak, every seat was filled and latecomers lined the walls. [In Photos: NASA's 16 Best Earth Photos from Space by Astronauts]
Scientists in the room clearly recognize their work could be affected by the incoming administration, which includes cabinet nominees skeptical of climate change and a space policy adviser, Robert Walker, former chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Science Committee, who has publicly questioned the value of NASA's Earth science work.
While NASA officials did not mention any names or specific threats to the future of the agency's Earth science program, Zurbuchen preached unity. "United communities are a lot harder to beat," he said Dec. 13, during NASA's Planetary Science Town Hall. "Lets stick together and stick up for each other. Together our narrative is a lot stronger than any small narrative any one of us could come up with in a small segment of the community."
Since it is not clear how NASA programs will fare in the coming years, it is natural for scientists to feel worried, Zurbuchen said. Nevertheless, he is operating under the assumption that "when everything is said and done, we will have a community that does Earth science."
"Earth is a planet that is worthy of scientific investigation and discovery," Zurbuchen said. "The research not only teach us about nature, but it also affects our lives directly on a daily timescale, a yearly timescale or beyond."
NASA's Earth science research also ties in with much of the agency's other work. "When we are thinking about other planets or the early solar system, the Earth is an important part," Zurbuchen said. "The instruments that we are flying elsewhere were invented to look at the Earth first."
Instead of speaking in general terms about the benefits of NASA's Earth science program, Zurbuchen told scientists to point to concrete contributions of their work. On Nov. 29, for example, Louisiana experienced severe thunderstorms and tornadoes while wildfires broke out in Tennessee. Space-based sensors developed by NASA helped firefighters battle the Tennessee blazes and assisted forecasters in Louisiana.
Pointing to that type of vivid example helps people understand the value of Earth science instruments such as the the Geostationary Lightning Mapper developed by NASA and flying on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R. "That instrument is on that GOES-R spacecraft because NASA invests in these kinds of instruments and matures them until the day when they change our lives," Zurbuchen said.
Zurbuchen told SpaceNews that his emphasis on making NASA's scientific work concrete is not a reaction to the changing presidential administration, but rather a reflection of his background.
Before becoming NASA's associate administrator for science, Zurbuchen was a scientist whose research focused largely on solar and heliospheric physics. As a professor at the University of Michigan, he also established the Center for Entrepreneurship in the College of Engineering.
Entrepreneurs focus on solving a problem for a community in a way that changes lives, Zurbuchen said. When he looks at NASA programs, Zurbuchen said he wants to see the data showing how the agency's work is solving programs for farmers or helping other groups.
"That's how I look at the world," he said.

Corpuscular ship is constructed in detail in accordance with the law of God in the form of light energy. Light corpuscular ship is therefore better as a spiritual power manifested corpuscular ships. The ship can move faster than light. When the object moves faster than light, disappearing from sight. Goes into another dimension.
The human eye sees everything that is inside of the light spectrum. When I mention the light spectrum and hit the light spectrum of the sun. With increased intensity of light would blind man. His senses would not notice a higher form of vibration. It can not therefore see the world resulting on a different frequency, although located around beside him. Corpuscular ship can move at high speed. It is therefore invisible to the human eye. By increasing the energy of the corpuscular vessel there is an increase of its speed. If it goes into the vessel by its frequency, it means that moves slower than the maximum speed. This makes it the human eye sees. It manifests itself in the form of light. Reducing the speed to changing light and the human eye, the ship must appear as a solid object. If the moving ship and if it stays on the molecular level, the maximum rate will remain invisible to the human eye. That they are explained in words that corpuscular ship may be the front door of your house and you will not see it. The ship can come to a man secretly. People of it may remain hidden from man.
The people of the corpuscular vessels reduces its frequency to a protein molecule in the cell become visible to the human eye. They therefore come secretly and suddenly appear before you in the form of light and energy. At that moment comes the light source, the energy in the form of spirit. You will be influenced by your spirit will be affected the most energy, which manifested itself around you and you will be allowed contact with corpuscular ships. In contact with them you should not worry. Believe me, it’s something natural. There is nothing mysterious. Only one who manifests the spirit of mentally able to take this energy will be able to experience the transition from one age to another.
A good friend made this comment and asked me a few questions. And while i was typing the answer,i realized it’s bigger for a comment to reply, because it might be a question what others also thought of. So, i thought il put the answer on my blog, to show the answer to everyone else.
Three years now Mark. Have you noticed changes in behavior of these lights, changes in your thoughts of what they might be, new ideas?, you have been studying them for a long time now. I’m wondering if you have formed any conclusions.
Thank you for the comment Frances. Yes this all started precisely three years ago on new year’s eve, and the reason i share this video, is that this, is the object what fly pass my window, that evening. My journey started with a close encounter, where i latterly saw this object a few meters away from me. From that day i had a variety of encounters, some close and some far away.
But all where strange, weird and uncommon. And with every encounter they show of there technology in there behavior, like vanish or hover in a storm or fly in high speed or hang around like a star. And not only at the hot spot, i honestly see them almost everywhere i go.
I also notice that they must know or hear or predict, where i look or where i want to go, because they reacted many times on my thoughts. Another thing i noticed, that they appeared on crucial moments, in a way that there appearance changed the negative vibes into positive.
So for the above reasons, i am convinced that there is an intelligent life force out there, who don’t want to be completely filmed, but want to show itself to individuals. And those individuals could start to raise questions like…WTH was that and start on a journey for that truth. And while they are a on a journey, they will find more answers and that could enlighten others with the knowledge or information they gather.
So if you ask me, the sightings are a preparation to train the mind of the individual. To raised his knowledge and wisdom if he goes on a journey for the truth. And there for i think, there purpose is to show others the light, to enlighten the people that there is more in our reality then what we believe.
There for i am convinced, that science will not get answers about the UFO phenomena, the answer will come from individuals, who raise them self to that level of conciseness, to communicate with those visitors. Like someone needs to put his humanity behind, and raise him self to a universal level, what many Buddhist call enlightenment.
No scientist will walk that path, because they follow the path of logic. While i am convinced it’s needed to use logic, but also to step out of your own box to find answers. I don’t think we can find answers by interpretate what we see, with our knowledge. We have to step out of the cage of ignorance to find the truth.
For that reason i mostly go alone or with some friends who are on the same level as i do. The point is not to believe in anything, and simply to observe what we see, until we find answers.
And on this day, i don’t think the point is to expose them to the public. And more that the point is to free our selves from this prison of our society. There for they hide for the military, because the military works for the leaders who in prison us as human being.
We are the only species on this planet who enslave each other, and we might also be the one who had to take care of this planet. But if we are enslaved by ignorance, then also this planet is screwed.
I also realize the impact of an encounter on my body, the moment when i saw something was devastated. It’s really weird to see the unknown out of the blue, and when you see that, a thought will come in your mind, what will think……
“”I hope i will survive this, and when they fly over then happiness and joy will come because i survived and realized, they only show them self.””
Because the sight of seeing them, and seeing what they can do, really show that we are ants and they are like giants, if i compare the technology. And this was the impact on me when i had a encounter, and i am a philosopher who don’t believe in anything, and i also don’t fear death.
That means i am mentally strong, that was because of my life experience. So, if any believer or someone who never felt pain or have any life experience will see something like that?? Then they might get a heart attack. If people saw what i saw, they would run away for sure!! Inner knowledge is needed to overcome your body on those moments.
That is the reason i think they wound show to people face to face, always in distance or it depends on the state of mind of the viewer, and fear plays a key role.
And when people go in groups to hunt UFOS, they will also wound see them in close range. This has to be solo or with a few people, and then they must go into the forest or an abandon place in the dark and then w8 for them.
This is what i think the reason why UFOLOGY can’t find answers for 70 years, because they are searching in the wrong way.
And all those sightings in range, or made with night vision are exactly invitation to seek further than what people had done.
Why do i think all this? Because that is latterly the path i walked, i changed from a business man into someone who seek for the truth and who is helping people on this moment with information, knowledge and real soon with donations.
And those people are pore people from third world countries, that would not have happened if i did not saw them. It changed my point of view in life, now i know for sure that there is more in our reality than what we learn on school or from the media.
So, if you ask me, then yes we are not alone, and i don’t know if il find the answer in my life. And i will not break my mind above it either, or turn my life around. No i wound,i have peace with the knowledge, i have on this moment, but ill will always keep searching for more answers, even if am 90 year’s old. Il died trying!!
Like on this moment i have a good idea of what type of camera i need, because i know now to what i need to focus on. There for, is my focus on to get a good camera and from there i might capture on video, what my eyes had seen. I think it’s a matter of time,
And if you want to know what camera i think is needed, then i would say. A very good camera what can film the object in slow motion speed in full color mode, and night vision cameras must be used to find them.
But i also know those cameras are very expensive on this moment ,and am counting on that maybe after 5 years those cameras are cheap, or cheaper ones will have better quality.
And in those five years the people around the world will be smarter and wiser. Truth seekers will change tactics and strategy to search for UFOs, and for these reasons i am convinced that it will be a matter of time before we know more about our visitors.
And i think the government knows that also, that the people will get smarter and that you can’t keep fooling them. So, the only option is to keep the enslavement going on, is to make our visitors into our enemies. They are already doing that with the movies, the fear for UFOs comes from that.
And yes, there are many assumptions in this blog, but there for it’s my hypothesis of the UFO phenomena and my thoughts about the UFO research and about my own research.

3 Alien Skulls Found In Antarctica By Smithsonian?!
3 Alien Skulls Found In Antarctica By Smithsonian?!
Published on Jan 2, 2017
An expedition led by Smithsonian archaeologist Damian Waters, to the Antarctic, in what appeared on the surface, to be a long shot search for traces of human remains, has successfully uncovered along with his team, three abnormally large elongated skulls, in the region of La Paille. The discovery came as a total surprise to the world of archaeology as they are the first human remains uncovered from Antarctica, thought never to have been visited by humans until the modern age. mr waters has been quoted as saying, We just can’t believe it, We didn’t just find human remains on Antarctica, we found elongated skulls, I have to pinch myself every time I wake up, I just can’t believe it, This will redefine our view of mankind’s history as a whole, end quote. Elongated skulls have been found in Peru and in Egypt, evidence of past civilisations making contact long before history books acknowledge. this discovery is set to show there was contact thousands of years ago, between civilisations in Africa, South America and Antarctica. Elongated skulls were a common deformation practice done upon children of the elite in many ancient cultures, this is according to the Smithsonian Institute of New York. It was done by wrapping a cloth around the infant’s head when the skull plates were not yet fixed. This characteristic was used to amplify visible differences between the higher ranking classes of society and lower classes. however, the Antarctica skulls are different, they appear to have come from giants. skull elongation can deform the skull, which can make it appear longer, but it does not change the skulls mass. and these skulls are very large indeed. In addition, these skulls have quite a few other important physical characteristics that set them apart from normal human skulls, further tests are set to be done, and officially released. could these skulls be non human? what other secrets is Antarctica's ice hiding? i will keep you posted.
Antarctica is the coldest of Earth’s continents and is known for its white landscapes and distinctive wildlife.
So, it stands to reason that an accidental discovery of a complex technicolor underwater ecosystem far beneath the Antarctic ice has surprised scientists.
In fact, a research team was retrieving a data recorder from waters near the Casey Research Station and sent down a camera with lights to record the mission. The team was studying the impact of acidification on marine life on the seafloor. The team was surprised to find that the camera had recorded a unique glimpse of life beneath the Antarctic ice.
Can you imagine these species are surviving in water that is -1.5 degrees Celsius (29.3 degrees Fahrenheit) year round and are covered with 1.5-metre (4.9-foot) thick sea ice for about ten months?
Glenn Johnstone, an Australian Antarctic Division biologist, said, “It’s an area that we have been working very close to for a long time, but we’ve never actually dived or put any cameras down. It was a great surprise to find such a beautiful, vibrant environment. This footage reveals a habitat that is productive, colourful, dynamic and full of a wide variety of biodiversity, including sponges, sea spiders, urchins, sea cucumbers and sea stars.”
Most enthusiasm in exoplanet searches is reserved for so-called "Earth-like" planets —approximately Earth-sized worlds within their star's habitable zone.
But speculation about the life-bearing potential of some of the icy moons of the outer planets may help broaden this narrow, provincial outlook; and proposed missions to Jupiter's moon Europa aim to answer the question of whether there might be life beneath its icy mantle.
DEFINING THE HABITABLE ZONE
It’s one of the most pressing questions in science: is there alien life somewhere out there within the great wide demesnes of the universe—beyond the homely, terrestrial sort that we’re all familiar with?
We’re still searching for the answer, but it seems that each day brings word of some new exoplanetary discovery that may at last resolve the issue—our technology has evolved to the point where we can now detect Earth-sized (note the distinction between “Earth-sized” and “Earth-like”) exoplanets residing in the habitable zones of their parent stars.
But are we restricting ourselves—unnecessarily—with the fetters of a geocentric prejudice? The circumstellar habitable zone (HZ) merely represents that part of a planetary system where temperatures are conducive to the existence of liquid water—in other words, precisely where the Earth currently resides in the Solar System. Certainly, with everything being equal, a planet with these conditions in a star’s HZ would be habitable to terrestrial life as we know it—but whoever said that’s all we’re looking for? Furthermore, we know that the HZ isn’t static in time; as a main sequence star evolves, its temperature increases, and the zone of habitability sweeps further outward—which is something to consider for highly-evolved, red giant stars, as a recent study has shown.
Putting aside the question of completely alien life, founded upon chemical organizations radically unlike anything we know, it’s not even clear that terrestrial-type life could only evolve upon an Earth-like planet within its star’s HZ. That’s where studying the icy moons of Jupiter and Saturn becomes important.
Ever since the Voyager probes winged their way galaxy-ward, there’s been a great deal of speculation that Jupiter’s second moon, Europa, might harbor a warm, liquid ocean beneath its piebald shell of red-and-white ice; recent observations with the Hubble Space Telescope even suggest some of that water is escaping into space, in the form of geysers—akin to what we see on Saturn’s moon Enceladus.
THE ICE-COVERED OCEAN
The existence of such an ocean on Europa is attributable to the intricate celestial mechanics of the Galilean Moons; this remarkable dance—choreographed across billions of years between Io, Ganymede, Europa and the prodigious mass of Jupiter—has squeezed and warmed Europa’s mysterious innards through the action of tidal flexure. It’s a bit like what’s happened to twisted, volcanic little Io—only with a far happier and less Dantean result.
Now, it doesn’t necessarily follow that a motley assortment of marine monsters has evolved in Europa’s putative subglacial world-ocean—though we all prefer to believe that’s exactly the case. But there’s certainly reason enough to be hopeful.
Life on Earth, for instance, needs water and a source of energy—the Sun, in most cases. But it’s also true that certain organisms, particularly in the deep oceans, derive their energy from purely non-solar sources; it’s even possible that the earliest life on Earth was of just such a type, at a time when the Sun’s radiation was far weaker than it is today.
A recent study has shown that an exothermic chemical reaction known as “serpentinization,” whereby saltwater reacts with rocky minerals to produce heat and hydrogen, may be as common on Europa as in terrestrial oceans. Furthermore, the blistering radiation of Jupiter may be enough to separate oxygen atoms from water molecules in the moon’s icy mantle, with the oxygen then cycling deep into the interior. If correct, it means all the ingredients for a thriving ecosystem are theoretically in place; all that’s needed is the spark of life—unfortunately, ascertaining the likelihood of that happening is beyond our statistical models.
“Observations of Europa have provided us with tantalizing clues over the last two decades, and the time has come to seek answers to one of humanity’s most profound questions,” says John Grunsfeld, associate administrator of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate.
Regardless of what the probe discovers, it’s about time we start expanding our definition of what the “habitable zone” really means—in our own Solar System, as in the myriad exoplanetary systems swimming daily within our ken.
An Alternate Universe: Our Cosmos May Have Been Spawned by a Hypermassive Black Hole
An Alternate Universe: Our Cosmos May Have Been Spawned by a Hypermassive Black Hole
NASA
IN BRIEF
Experts discuss the possibility that the universe could have started from a black hole, a scenario supported by the singularity, an occurrence found in only two instances — the Big Bang and black holes.
This could mean that each time a black hole is formed, a two-dimensional universe spawns.
WITH ORIGINS FROM A SINGULARITY
The most accepted theory of the origin of the universe is still the Big Bang. The theory proposes the universe started from a small singularity (the gravitational kind), then began to expand over the succeeding 13.8 billion years. Although this expansion has its own issues, a bigger question remains: what preceded the Big Bang?
Ethan Siegel, physicist and contributor at Forbes, explains the possibility that the universe could have started from a black hole. Physicists Niayesh Afshordi, Razieh Pourhasan, and Robert Mann originally proposed the idea in 2013 — a scenario that’s survived the scrutiny of other physicists ever since.
The evidence that supports that theory is the singularity, an occurrence found in only two instances in the universe — the Big Bang and black holes. A gravitational singularity is a one-dimensional point where the laws of physics regarding spacetime breaks down.
In black holes, the singularity exists in the event horizon. This event horizon defies everything that supposedly governs the physics of our universe, both quantum mechanics and general relativity. A black hole’s event horizon is supposedly more massive than what the particles in it can hold.
“The fact that black holes in our Universe are much more massive than this isn’t a problem,” Siegel explains. He adds, “the laws of physics that we know break down at the singularity we calculate at the center. If we ever want to describe it accurately, it’s going to take a unification of quantum theory with General Relativity.”
BLACK HOLE BIRTHING
Because our understanding of the universe is still limited, we simply call this point the singularity. Basically, a black hole’s event horizon is a one-dimension iteration of our three-dimensional universe. This is what the Perimeter Institute study explores. Is it possible that our universe is a product of a larger, primeval black hole’s singularity? Is our universe the three-dimensional wrapper around another universe’s event horizon?
“In this scenario, our universe burst into being when a star in a four-dimensional universe collapsed into a black hole,” according to a Perimeter Institute press release.
Siegel explains how this is possible:
“As the black hole first formed, the event horizon first came to be, then rapidly expanded and continued to grow as more matter continued to fall in. If you were to put a coordinate grid down on this two-dimensional wrapping, you’d find that it originated where the gridlines were very close together, then expanded rapidly as the black hole formed, and then expanded more and more slowly as matter fell in at a much lower rate. This matches, at least conceptually, what we observe for the expansion rate of our three-dimensional universe.”
Would this mean that each time a black hole is formed, a two-dimensional universe spawns? Siegel comments: “As crazy as it sounds, the answer appears to be maybe.”
As fascinating as this may be, it’s still just theory. We’ll need a better understanding of the physics of our universe in order to confirm it.
An exclusive video interview with Aaron McCollum has been released from the makers of Project Camelot and it is by far a gigantic leaping for anyone’s imagination, the rabbit hole of conspiracy hypothesis has just got deeper
If you haven’t been up to date with the latest conspiracy theories of late but have been following the news you may have heard of much to do with the Gulf of Aden. Over the last many months it has been reported of a large congregation of a multinational group of Battle Ships that have been patrolling the waters.
It has been reported across mainstream media that all countries involved are protecting their interests from the growing Somali Pirates threat. But conspiracy theorists have been reporting this story as a Red Flag Operation to cover the real purpose of their unprecedented Navel activity in the water of Aden.
It has been said and also in-depth in this video interview with Aaron McCollum from Project Camelot that a strange magnetic anomaly has been found in the Gulf of Aden. This strange magnetic anomaly is making what conspiracy theorists believe to be a portal, a kind of Intergalactic Stargate, that only now is slowly being activated and the Governments and the Elites can’t stop it.
There are many strange hypothesis surrounding the 2012 phenomena but now the objective is escalated to Universal proportions, what’s causing this Stargate to become activated is well anybody’s guess but there are now many synchronised hypothesis being reported throughout the Internet that well is too greater for a mention here.
In Aaron McCollum’s interview he bravely or insanely acknowledges to have been working for Top Secret or Black Projects run by the world’s Elites/ Governments. He boldly opens a mega tsunami of Intel and reports to have been working in secret underground facility’s that are also under the sea, he says one of these facilities are on the west side of Puerto Rico and was aware of Project Seagate, he also tells of ongoing genetic experimentations, the cohesion and calibration of extraterrestrials working in these facilities, the existence of the TR-3bs triangular shaped UFOs as a black government aircraft, interdimensional travel and the listing goes on and on, deeper and deeper!
So if you are still interested and think your intellect can handle it, I recommend having a look at this video, as a note or merely an observation have a look at his T-Shirt he is wearing, think he is trying to tell us something subliminally?
