UFO Shooting Into Volcano, Mexico, Nov 2, 2021, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Shooting Into Volcano, Mexico, Nov 2, 2021, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: November 2, 2021 Source: POPOCATEPETL Live Cam Location of sighting: Volcano near Mexico City, Mexico
While watching the Popocateptetl live cam I noticed a disk shaped glowing object depending from the right side of the screen. Just as a huge plume of smoke came out of the volcano, the UFO shot toward it, all the while descending until it vanishes inside the mouth of the volcano.
For over 15 years I have been watching this live cam, and have caught dozens of UFOs entering and exiting this volcano on live cam. UFOs enter the volcano, because the mouth is inaccessible to humans since its an active volcano, making it harder for humans to accidentally stumble into the alien base. Such a thing could happen if a person were at the exact location where a UFO was descending. Because at that location, a tunnel opens...like an elevator taking the ship lower and lower until it reaches the base below...all the while, closing above them sealing up the tunnel from above. The base itself is 5-6km below the lower base of the volcano.

Freaky moment 'UFO' orb drops suddenly to Earth sparking frenzy of theories
Freaky moment 'UFO' orb drops suddenly to Earth sparking frenzy of theories
Night vision binoculars spotted an alleged UFO hovering above a man's house in Azpeitia, Spain. The mysterious object appeared to move incredibly fast towards the ground
A weird video shows an alleged UFO hovering in the sky before dropping very fast towards Earth – with conspiracy theorists calling it "legit".
In the clip, recorded on October 8 by Xan Bernardo with night vision binoculars, a large orb is floating in the night sky above Azpeitia, Spain.
The movement of the strange object is seen clearly with the infrared as it moves slightly from side to side above the rooftops, before dropping down extremely fast and out of sight.
It was shared on the YouTube channel The Hidden Underbelly 2.0 who described the mysterious footage and said it was "pretty cool".
He said: "This orb can not be seen with the naked eye. This has been picked up with night vision.
The grey orb is flying to the right of the aerial(Image: YouTube / The Hidden Underbelly 2.0)
"And we just see this thing hovering and then all of a sudden it just dives straight down.
"For me, this isn't the behaviour of any object that we possibly have.
"This thing just shoots right down to the ground."
Since it was uploaded, the video has been watched hundreds of times and sparked a debate about what the orb might be, with many viewers suggesting an alien craft.
One said: "Eww yeah, that's a legit one. The curvy gyro movements about an invisible axis."

1971 was a banner year for classic UFO Cases throughout the world. Perhaps two of the most intriguing investigated that year had what we would consider trace evidence.
First, let's look at the September 4th, 1971 Lago De Cote, Costa Rica case. One of the most analyzed UFO photographs ever was taken by a Costa Rican Government plane whose crew were doing an aerial mapping mission. Since these were days long before digital photography the negative went through much testing to verify if what was on it was real, a hoax or a blemish. The flight crew and mapping engineers were considered above reproach and no hoax was suspected. However, the object in the photo was only seen later. No one on the plane observed anything below them with their own eyes.
Richard Haines and Jacques Vallee analyzed the photo in The Journal of Scientific Exploration, Volume #3, Issue number #2 and concluded "In summary, our analyses have suggested that an unidentified, opaque, aerial object was captured on film at a maximum distance of 10,000 feet. There are no visible means of lift or propulsion and no surface markings other than dark regions that appear to be nonrandom. There is no indication that the image is the product of a double exposure or a deliberate fabrication". Richard Hall of NICAP’s analysis was as follows: Very high reliability, unquestionably an authentic photograph. The lack of a visual sighting or any observed or recorded extraordinary performances reduces the "strangeness" level. Yet, the evidentiary data is strong and the investigation thorough, resulting in a well-documented and well-investigated anomaly. Ray Stanford, another longtime UFO researcher most famous for his analysis of the April 1964 Socorro New Mexico egg shaped UFO encounter of Officer Lonnie Zamora provided his take next and was at odds with his fellow contemporaries as to what was seen. He considered it may have been the bulb reflector in a common flashlight. See his analysis below.
To this day there is great debate about what was seen. Entire internet forums are dedicated to attempting to debunk the photo outright or to suggesting various types of camera artifacts such as emulsion blemishes.
Our second case took place in Delphos, Kansas on November 16, 1971 when a sixteen-year-old named Ronald Johnson saw a mushroom shape descending on the farm where he was tending sheep with his dog.
Ronald came within 25 feet of the object which was covered in multi-colored lights. The object was reported to be nine feet wide and ten feet high. Ron ran to get his parents and when they returned, the object was gone but a glowing ring was found in the dirt where the object was seen hovering.
The case has several interesting facets including possible missing time for Ron, the farm animals being disturbed at the time of the sighting and for weeks afterwards but most of all was the physical effect suffered by Ron’s mom after touching the glowing material. Her fingers became numb for days and where she wiped off the dust on her leg that area of skin became numb also. Ted Phillips initially investigated with the cooperation of the Delphos police and the story eventually appeared in the September 1985 MUFON Journal. Again, Jacques Vallee got involved and tested the soil sample finding Actinomycetes which are intermediate organisms between bacteria and fungus according to Vallee. So, was it merely the result of a natural phenomenon of fungus growth called Fairy Rings? Even noted debunker Phillip Klass got involved claiming the ring was caused by sheep urine. Phyllis Budinger, a well-known Ohio chemist who has helped MUFON on innumerable trace evidence cases, tested the samples and found Oxalic Acid which could have been the result of exhaust from low level ionization or even a combustion engine. The National Inquirer even convened a panel of well-known UFO researchers to examine the best cases of the time with a $5,000 prize on the line. The Delphos Case and Ron Johnson’s family won the prize!

Claims of a crashed UFO in October 1998, possibly a vehicle of extraterrestrial origin is one that not only shares the same details of other apparent crash and retrieval operations but also shares the same official explanations of a “crashed weather balloon”.
The sudden appearance of a strange, silvery craft over a small village in Chile was witnessed by most of the local population. As was the sudden crashing to the ground of the aerial object several moments after it appeared. And while the crippled, ruined craft remained where it fell for several days, a sudden military presence, which as we will see shortly also had a discreet American “feel” to it, would suddenly descend on the village, restrict access to the area, and confiscated the remains.
Is this another case of an alien craft crashing to Earth, bringing with it proof of life elsewhere in the Universe being removed and suppressed by unknown powers? Or might the incident be one involving an equally strange military-type craft that resulted in a tragic accident during an experimental flight?
The account comes to us from several UFO researchers in the region, many of whom would visit the region in the aftermath, including Patricio Diaz, Luis Sanchez Perry, Miguel Jordan, and Roderick Bowen.
A Silvery Object That Split In Two And Crashed To The Ground
According to the report, at just before 4 pm on the 7th of October 1998, in the small village of Paihuano in the Valle de Elqui district of Chile, multiple residents of the village noticed the sudden appearance in the late-afternoon skies over the Las Mollacas hill of a strange silver disc. Reports would later suggest that the object was approximately 50 feet across.
After remaining completely motionless for several moments the object would suddenly rise into the air. It then made an equally sudden turn which seemed to “split it in two” as the residents of the town looked on.
As they watched in awe and confusion, the object came crashing to the ground. One piece of the wreckage would land on the top of the hill while the other fell a little way behind it.
According to the many reports of the locals who not only witnessed the crash but also went to inspect the wreckage, the object was definitely of a solid, metallic exterior which was silvery and shiny. So much so, the sun would reflect brilliantly off its surface. Furthermore, when it was in one piece, it was of an elongated shape.
Even stranger, in the days following the incident, several earthquakes were noticed. What’s more, the region experienced several strange blackouts. Whether they were connected, several towns in the region experienced disturbance to television and radio broadcast.
The object itself would remain on the hill where it fell for two days until a strange military-type unit “in uniform” arrived and removed the wreckage.
The report continues that the Chilean military did investigate the case. They first sent a unit on horseback who would confirm the crashed craft from a distance as the terrain of the hill area made it difficult to reach. According to the report, they did attempt to reach the wreckage, but the operation resulted in the death of one of the horses.
There is, it would appear, evidence of a cover-up taking place at this stage. Communications from the unit were seemingly intercepted by the police of the region. Shortly after, the unit received orders to vacate the area, upon which the “uniformed” unit arrived. As well as removing the wreckage, they would cordon off the area and allow no further access.
The unit would conduct extensive investigations and interviews with the local population. Furthermore, they would also extend these interviews to the residents of several nearby towns. Even stranger, according to the research of UFO investigators, several hotels in the region experienced a sudden surge of “American tourists” booking their rooms in the days following the incident, and especially following the arrival of the mysterious military unit.
One anonymous witness – a local goatherder who was familiar with many of the routes around the suddenly restricted area – claimed to have also witnessed the arrival of unmarked helicopters. These aerial vehicles would “work tirelessly from midnight until the early hours of Friday 9th March”. In their military nets, they carried away pieces of the wreckage.
These were not the only accounts of strange goings-on during the night hours. Local researcher, Patricio Diaz would collect several such accounts and it is to those where we will turn our attention to next.
Evidence Of A Heavy-Duty Operation!
According to Diaz’ files, several local residents described significant activities during the night, including the presence of helicopters over the village. One such resident, Omar Prieto who managed one of the town’s tourist resorts, would claim that he witnessed the wreckage “with his own eyes”. He would describe it as “something like the wing of a plane”.
He would also state that following the sudden activity on the evening of Thursday 8th March the wreckage had disappeared. What was left behind, though, was evidence of heavy-duty military trucks in the form of tread marks. One member of the public who did manage to get a closer look would state there were also boot markings near the tread marks, themselves leading to a “large cleft” on the hillside.
An image showing a UFO in the daytime sky
Even more suspicious was that by Monday 12 March, there appeared signs of an effort to plant disinformation at the location so as to cover up what had occurred. Many residents would find stones that had been painted with silvery and reflective paint. A number of bizarre and strange explanations would surface for the strange events. All of which was seemingly rejected by those who had witnessed the events for themselves.
Perhaps one of the strangest claims came from the El Tololo Astronomical Observatory. They would state that the crashed craft was actually an “out of control weather balloon”. However, this claim was publicly refuted by a high-ranking member of CEFAA. Gustavo Rodriguez would state no such weather balloon launches had taken place. And furthermore, any launches would require 48 hours’ notice, which he had not received.
One of the most interesting aspects of the apparent incident could be the location itself. The soil there is said to be mineral-rich, with very valuable uranium deposits. This is intriguing as uranium, according to collective research in the field, comes up often in UFO reports.
Might it be that these seemingly otherworldly vehicles are reliant on this particular mineral? Perhaps for fuel, for example?
What’s more, several months earlier in June 1998 reports of a similar crashed craft surfaced. According to the reports a “deafening noise” would ring out suddenly. At the same time so did a flash so bright that it seemed “night had turned into day”. Some reports also claim that the region experienced strange storms.
This is perhaps an interesting point. Especially when we recall that following the October incident the region experienced significant earthquake activity. Might the arrival of these crafts be responsible for such activity on Earth? Could it be possible that such activity is a result of these crafts entering our atmosphere? Or might such atmospheric storms and even earthquakes be the result of a gateway or portal? One that allows these strange crafts passage into our world?
Like the case itself, the possibilities and questions remain in abundance.
The incident of October 1998 in Paihuano is one of the most intriguing on record. Of that, there is little doubt. It perhaps also appears to be very credible. That something most definitely happened that fall afternoon is surely beyond doubt.
Of course, whether the object was a military vehicle or a craft from another world under the control of another intelligence remains open to debate. We should perhaps note that during the time there were joint military UNITAS exercises taking place. Interestingly or not between the militaries of the United States and Chile.
This itself proposes several questions. Firstly, that the craft was a secret military craft, either an American or Chilean one. Or possibly some top-secret joint effort. Or, let’s assume that there is an alien presence on our planet. Do such military operations attract the attention of these extraterrestrials? In the same way that UFO sightings increase during wartime, researchers suggest they also increase during such military exercises.
Although the incident itself occurred over two decades ago it remains of interest to UFO researchers today. Just what did come crashing to the ground that afternoon in the small Chilean village? And why was there such an effort to seemingly cover over the events? And perhaps most interesting, particularly to the larger UFO picture, what should we make of the increased but discreet American presence in the background of the crash?
The incident remains unresolved and without a satisfactory explanation
Researcher claims to have found an alien city on Titan (Saturn)
Researcher claims to have found an alien city on Titan (Saturn)
For decades, experts have claimed that Titan is one of the best places to start looking for signs of alien life. However, an image taken of Saturn’s satellite could reveal that not only is there life, but it is intelligent.
The image analyzed by Waring.
The controversial researcher and ufologist, Scott C. Waring, administrator of the web portal Ufo Sightings Daily, has published an image of Titan taken by the European Space Agency’s radar.
In it, what could be an alien ship entering a developed city is observed.
Intelligent life on Titan?
Waring stated that he was looking at a photo of the satellite , which was taken thanks to the radar of the Cassini orbiter.
In detailing it, he noticed that in the lower right corner there is a round tubular artificial structure . It’s hidden under the surface, but it’s really big.
Although it made it difficult for him to estimate its exact size, he believes it would be about 25 miles wide . The ideal size to house an alien colony.
Waring assures that it is impossible for nature to have made such a structure on Titan, so it is most likely an alien construction . The researcher suggests that it could be a ship that landed in that place to do some work or simply to rest.
On the left side, the object is also more rounded , like a disk, which is probably the front of the ship.
And this couldn’t be something totally strange, especially when many scientists have revealed over decades that Titan is a perfect candidate to search for life.
According to experts, Titan is an ideal place for life to be born.
Ideal for the formation of life?
The natural satellite of Saturn has a surface covered with lakes, rivers and seas . However, these areas are covered in liquid methane and ethane, rather than water.
This makes the surface air full of nitrogen and methane, making it toxic to human life. However, what makes us think that an alien life that has developed differently from us could not live on Titan?
Cassini-Huygens missions, over the past 20 years, have provided information on the chemical composition of the satellite. This has led experts to detect the presence of polyimine, which could lead to life in very cold temperatures .
In fact, in its early days, life on Earth began thanks to the presence of hydrogen cyanide and polyimine.
According to computer simulations by experts, all these data suggest that what has been found on Titan is a prebiotic chemistry . That is, a series of requirements that could ultimately lead to life as we know it .
Second, there is a strong possibility that there is liquid water under the surface of the icy satellite, enclosing a massive subterranean ocean.
Could this be proof that there is an alien civilization inhabiting Titan? Or, at least is it habitable enough for an advanced civilization to take it as a place of passage?
DID UFOS REALLY DISABLE NUCLEAR-ARMED AMERICAN MISSILES IN 1967?
Robert Salas’s UFO story begins as the best ones always do: on night shift, working in a top-secret facility monitoring nuclear warheads.
Then a young Air Force first lieutenant, Salas was on duty deep underground on March 14, 1967, at Montana’s Malmstrom Air Force Base when he received a phone call from the flight security controller working topside. The noncommissioned officer reported some unusual lights making strange maneuvers in the sky. It was nonthreatening but notable.
Only minutes later, the controller called back. This time his tone was frantic; over the phone, he screamed about a large, glowing red object hovering over the facility’s front gate. He and his men were ready with weapons drawn to confront whatever it was. According to an affidavit he later signed, Salas ordered the controller to not let anything past the gate.
After that, Salas woke his commanding officer, 1st Lt. Frederick Meiwald.
As Salas recounted the unfolding situation, alarms flashed red on the command console, indicating that all ten Minuteman III nuclear ICBMs under the facility’s control were unable to launch. Someone — or something — had disabled the missiles.
Some lights indicated a fault code for guidance system failure, and some of the fault lights also had the attached security violation indicators blinking brightly. It meant a security breach at the launch site. Salas quickly dispatched a team to investigate.
The team reported that personnel at the launch site had witnessed the same unexplained object, but it was already long gone.
Just as quickly as it began, the event was over. The Air Force Office of Special Investigations later told Salas not to speak about his experience again and classified the incident at the “secret” level.
Salas signed a 2010 affidavit regarding his 1967 incident, hoping the move would help other veterans come forward with their own accounts of unexplained activity. Salas, undeterred by Washington’s previous dismissals, continues his efforts to compel government officials to take veterans’ UFO experiences seriously. He also warns that UFO sightings tend to occur at nuclear weapons sites.
On Oct. 19, 2021, Salas held a press conference sharing veterans’ UFO accounts. Some had recorded their experiences before they died, such as US Navy pilot Lt. j.g. Clarence “Bud” Clem.
In 1945, Lt. j.g. Clarence “Bud” Clem helped relay radar information from the guard tower over the Hanford Site, a nuclear refinery site in Washington state that’s pictured here in 1960. Clem died in 2014, but his 2013 interview of his UFO experience lives on for investigators to reference.Photo courtesy of Wikimedia Commons.
Clem presciently recorded his account of a January 1945 incident that he witnessed over the Hanford Site in Washington state. Hanford produced plutonium for the Manhattan Project, supplying the nuclear core that went into Fat Man, the atomic bomb the US dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, on Aug. 9, 1945.
Clem and his two wingmen saw on the ground radar that an unknown aircraft had entered the area near the plutonium facility. The two other pilots jumped into their Grumman F6F Hellcat fighter aircraft. As their 2,200-horsepower engines sputtered the propellers to life, Clem went to the radar tower to relay the readings over the radio while the pilots followed the unidentified bogey. The “glowing fireball” shot off too fast for the pilots to follow.
Clem noted that the Navy logs never reflected the intrusion.
“There does indeed seem to be some sort of nexus between UAP activity and our critical nuclear technology—whether it’s propulsion, or weapons systems and whatnot,” Luis Elizondo, former director of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, told Nextgov.
EXCLUSIVE: Striking video shows pulsating orb drop down from the sky and cruise alongside two FedEx pilots flying over Mexico that experts believe is a UFO with a plasma forcefield to deflect radar
EXCLUSIVE: Striking video shows pulsating orb drop down from the sky and cruise alongside two FedEx pilots flying over Mexico that experts believe is a UFO with a plasma forcefield to deflect radar
On March 19, 2020 two FedEx pilots flying a cargo airplane near Monterrey, Mexico, saw a bright light drop down from the sky
The UFO stopped at their altitude, shot them with a beam of light, then moved in tandem with the plane for over 30 minutes before flying away
Mysteriously, the UFO did not show up on the plane's radar
The captain shot video of the encounter, which was analyzed in a report by the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena (NARCAP)
In the video the captain can be heard expressing his shock at seeing a UFO, which he described as 'a brilliant yellow white plasma object, teardrop shaped'
'I thought it was a shooting star but then it stopped,' the former Air Force pilot said in the video
Aviation experts tried to explain the light as the planet Venus, and the pulsating as a deceptive effect from the camera autofocus adjusting its lens in the dark
However, the pilots told NARCAP they saw the pulsing, plasma-like appearance with their own eyes as well as capturing it on camera
NARCAP executive director Ted Roe told DailyMail.com that the pilots' account was 'very consistent with what pilots have been reporting for over 100 years'
A video exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com shows a pulsating orb caught on camera by FedEx pilots flying over Mexico – which experts say could be aUFOwith a plasma forcefield that may help it fly or deflect radar.
On March 19, 2020 two FedEx pilots were flying a cargo airplane near Monterrey, Mexico, when they saw a bright light drop down from the sky, stop at their altitude, shoot them with a beam of light, then move in tandem with the plane for over 30 minutes before flying away.
The captain shot a stunning video of the encounter, which was analyzed in a report by the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena (NARCAP), a nonprofit organization that studies pilots' brushes with UFOs to help develop safety procedures.
The report did not name the pilots, as many in the aviation industry are still wary of the stigma around UFOs despite official acknowledgement of the phenomena by the U.S. and other governments.
But NARCAP executive director Ted Roe, the author of the report, told DailyMail.com that the pilots' account was 'very consistent with what pilots have been reporting for over 100 years.'

Mysteriously, the UFO did not show up on the plane's radar. Experts say it could be a UFO with a plasma forcefield that may help it fly or deflect radar
The captain of the Boeing 767 cargo plane is 'a career pilot with 19 years of experience flying wide-body aircraft for a major cargo company with an additional 10yrs flying KC-135 refueling tankers for the US Air Force,' according to the report, while the first officer was a 'career fighter pilot that flew f-15s before working in the private sector.'
NARCAP executive director Ted Roe told DailyMail.com that the pilots' account was 'very consistent with what pilots have been reporting for over 100 years'
They were described as 'competent airmen, highly experienced with observing and identifying aircraft, and are capable of determining normal observations and incidents from unusual ones.'
The plane left Queretaro International Airport north of Mexico City at 8.05pm, and was about 150 miles south of Monterrey on its way to Memphis, Tennessee, when the unidentified object appeared.
'The incident began when the First Officer, looking across to the left side of the cockpit, saw a yellowish white light descend into view from above,' the report said.
'He first believed that it was a meteor and began to say so when it suddenly stopped near the same altitude as their aircraft. The UAP [unidentified aerial phenomenon]/Light then projected an illuminating beam of bright, white, light on their aircraft, and appeared to take a collision heading.
'At this moment the Captain also saw the beam of light projected onto their aircraft from the UAP/Light. Both crewmen, in the belief that an aircraft with its landing lights on had turned onto a collision heading with their aircraft, took a defensive attitude and prepared for evasive control inputs.'
But instead of heading to crash into them, the UFO then started to move in tandem with the plane between 1,000 and 2,000 ft away.
'As they prepared to avoid the apparently approaching UAP/Light, the beam of light illuminating their aircraft ceased, and the UAP/Light suddenly accelerated to the same speed and heading of the aircraft, maintained separation, and paced the aircraft,' the report said.
In the video the captain can be heard expressing his shock and excitement at seeing a UFO, which he described as 'a brilliant yellow white plasma object, teardrop shaped.'
The report said it had 'no navigation lights or other features associated with airplanes'.
The captain took a five-minute video of the object, three other clips and eight photographs.
Mysteriously, the UFO did not show up on the plane's radar.
'I thought it was a shooting star but then it stopped,' the former Air Force pilot said in the video.
'It's like an orb man, look at that s**t. It's pulsating. This is awesome. And he's not on TCAS [the plane's radar].
'That is s**t hot… Oh man, look at that thing dude.
'That is an unidentified flying object bro, I can finally say I saw one. That is cool.'
'You saw it just drop out of the sky and just stop?' he asked his copilot.
'Yeah. I thought it was a shooting star and then it stopped,' the former F-15 pilot replied.
The plane left Queretaro International Airport north of Mexico City at 8.05pm, and was about 150 miles south of Monterrey on its way to Memphis, Tennessee, when the unidentified object appeared
The captain was flying a similar Boeing 767 cargo plane. He was described as a 'a career pilot with 19 years of experience flying wide-body aircraft for a major cargo company'
Discussing whether it could be a weather balloon, the captain said: 'The only weather balloon we have is near [inaudible], it's 15,000 ft AGL [above ground level]. This thing's above our altitude.'
The 767 was flying at approximately 575 mph at 37,000 ft when the encounter happened.
'As the aircraft and its attendant UAP/Light approached the Mexico/US border the UAP/Light began to flicker, it changed colors from yellow-white to pinkish/purple, and turned on a perpendicular heading away from the aircraft and parallel to the border without crossing into the United States,' the report said.
'We're going to lose him in the clouds, son of a b***h,' the captain said towards the end of the video.
'There's weather about 40 miles off our left wingtip where this thing seems to have disappeared. It didn't have strobes or beacon or nothing.'
The captain filmed his radar screen showing no sign of the UFO, just patches of clouds to the west of the 767.
Aviation experts on the website Metabunk, including renowned UFO debunker Mick West, tried to explain the light as the planet Venus, and the pulsating as a deceptive effect from the camera autofocus adjusting its lens in the dark.
Although the flight was not identified in the NARCAP report, West identified it from flight records matched to the times in the report as FedEx flight FDX82, which departed Queretaro 50 minutes late at 8.55pm and arrived in Memphis around 12.20am.
West dug out star maps showing Venus was in a similar location in the sky to where the pilots saw the pulsating light, sitting about 10 degrees above the horizon at that time of night.
'Out of focus with atmospheric distortion and focus seeking, it looks like a wobbly pulsating blob,' he wrote.
West posted videos on the debunking forum showing how stars can appear to flash or ripple on camera from atmospheric distortions or heat shimmer, exaggerated by an autofocus lens coming in and out of focus.
However, the pilots told NARCAP they saw the pulsing, plasma-like appearance with their own eyes as well as capturing it on camera, and described seeing the pulsing light, as well as the inexplicable movement of the object – dropping from the sky, coming to a complete stop in mid-air and then matching their speed and direction.
NARCAP executive director Ted Roe says, 'We have a database going back to 1916. It describes four basic types of UAP encounters and they are balls of light, spheres, cylinders and discs,' he said.
'I went through the analysis. There was some argument that it could have been an astronomical effect. Venus was quite bright that night.
'But when you take the entire narrative of how they describe it dropped in vertically, stopped at their altitude and then paced their aircraft, that is a very consistent story. We've had many of those.
'They flew northbound out of Queretaro Airport. Venus was quite high in the western sky at that point and bright, they were well aware of it. They were at 37,000 ft.
'When he turns the camcorder towards his radar, which is probably the most important aspect of this case and really the only reason I took it on, it confirmed what I've been saying all along which is that UAP are intermittently detected on radar. He turned his camera on his radar monitor and there was no detection.
'It also showed there were clouds to the West, and if Venus was parallel to his aircraft, appearing to be at his altitude, the clouds would have obstructed it.'
Roe said both the 'teardrop' shape that the UFO made as it moved through the air and the lack of radar return could be due to plasma surrounding it.
'We didn't get a clearly defined video of what this phenomenon was. But we have the description. It was teardrop shaped, white/yellow. I'm guessing that these things are plasma or have plasma involved in them,' he said.
'We use plasma to cut the radar cross-section on the reflectable parts of a stealth aircraft. They might use plasma actuators to absorb that signal rather than allow it to reflect.'
The plane left Queretaro International Airport (pictured) north of Mexico City at 8.05pm on its way to Memphis, Tennessee
In 2011, researchers at the University of Florida wrote a report on a 'proof-of-concept demonstration' of how plasma could be used to make a wingless object 'selflift, hover and fly'.
Their experiments, sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, involved 'building, characterization, testing, and simulation of plasma actuators, aerodynamics, power and propulsion systems, micromachining and microfabrication.'
NARCAP was founded in 1999 specifically to investigate and document the safety implications of pilots' encounters with reports of UFOs,
It has a staff of about 50 specialists that conduct 'investigations, analysis, publications and activism related to UAP and aviation safety.'
NARCAP's chief scientist, Dr. Richard Haines, has collected 'over 3,400 cases of aviation-related observations and incidents involving unidentified aerial phenomena' according to the organization.
Roe told DailyMail.com that one of his continued frustrations is that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) refuses to document incidents like those of the FedEx pilots.
'The FAA literally will not accept their reports,' he said. 'The aeronautical instruction manual, which is the primary manual for air crews, tells them if they want to report a UFO they can contact a civilian UFO reporting center.
'This has been going on for decades. The information is lost to the aviation system and safety planners because the data is never presented to the aviation system to begin with.
'Recently we've had this UAP Task Force and government activity on the subject. In the report, the Director of National Intelligence on June 25 stated that UAP are a hazard to aviation, and they were rather clear about it.
'When they were out looking for data, I can't imagine what it was like going into the FAA's offices, and saying 'you guys must have all this great UFO data, we need it now,' and there isn't any because they've been telling the pilots they don't take those reports.'
Two FedEx pilots flying a cargo plane filmed a brush with what they called a pulsating orb that followed them for more than 30 minutes.
The UFO incident occurred near Monterrey, Mexico and video of the encounter has been analyzed by the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena (NARCAP).
Two FedEx pilots flying a cargo plane near Monterrey, Mexico had an encounter at 37,000 feet with a UFO that has experts perplexed.
The pilots claim that as they were flying near Monterrey, Mexico a bright light dropped down from the sky, stopped at their altitude, shot them with a beam of light, then moved in tandem with the plane for over 30 minutes before flying away, reports DailyMail.com.
The UFO incident, which occurred on March 19, 2020, was captured on video, along with audio revealing their dialogue during the sighting.
While the two pilots remain unnamed, the captain of the Boeing 767 cargo plane is “a career pilot with 19 years of experience flying wide-body aircraft for a major cargo company with an additional 10yrs flying KC-135 refueling tankers for the US Air Force,” according to a National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena (NARCAP) report. The first officer is “a career fighter pilot that flew f-15s before working in the private sector.”
The initial reporting of this UFO sighting shed little light on the details surrounding it, but this week NARCAP executive director Ted Roe spoke with DailyMail.com and offered up some new insight.
‘The FAA literally will not accept their reports,’ he said. ‘The aeronautical instruction manual, which is the primary manual for air crews, tells them if they want to report a UFO they can contact a civilian UFO reporting center.
‘This has been going on for decades. The information is lost to the aviation system and safety planners because the data is never presented to the aviation system to begin with.
‘Recently we’ve had thisUAP Task Force and government activity on the subject. In the report, the Director of National Intelligence on June 25 stated that UAP are a hazard to aviation, and they were rather clear about it.
‘When they were out looking for data, I can’t imagine what it was like going into the FAA’s offices, and saying ‘you guys must have all this great UFO data, we need it now,’ and there isn’t any because they’ve been telling the pilots they don’t take those reports.’
Footage of the UFO incident near Monterrey, Mexico taken by the FedEx pilots, described as “competent airmen, highly experienced with observing and identifying aircraft, and are capable of determining normal observations and incidents from unusual ones,” was analyzed by Roe’s group at the NARCAP.
In the video, one of the pilots can be heard talking about “a brilliant yellow white plasma object teardrop shaped” object in the sky.
They were so concerned about what they were seeing that the daptain engaged the Combined TCAS and cockpit display and activated the Airborne Collision Avoidance System SSR (Secondary Surveillance radar) system.
Radar did not detect anything in the sky.
According to the NARCAP report, “The UAP/Light came from above and stopped/hovered near FL37, about the same altitude as the aircraft, shone a light on the 767 and briefly approached the aircraft. Then it instantly matched the speed, and heading of the aircraft and maintained a consistent separation.”
a. The light descended vertically, stopped abruptly, and shone a light on the 767 causing the crew to believe that there was another airliner on a collision heading with its landing lights on.
b. It changed direction from vertical descent to a sudden stop/hover, to approaching the aircraft briefly, to taking the same heading and speed of the aircraft at about the same altitude and an estimated distance of 1-2k ft.
c. It matched the altitude, speed, and heading of the aircraft, 575mph and at 37,000ft for over 32 minutes.
d. The UAP/Light changed colors and turned away from the aircraft on a perpendicular heading, West, just inside the Mexico/US border.
e. The UAP/light did not have wings or running lights. It was a new and unique observation to the experienced air crew.
These movements, the report explains, “are not consistent with known aerial phenomena but they are characteristic movements of UAP.”
“We have a database going back to 1916. It describes four basic types of UAP encounters and they are balls of light, spheres, cylinders and discs,’ Roe told DailyMail.com.
“I went through the analysis. There was some argument that it could have been an astronomical effect. Venus was quite bright that night.
“But when you take the entire narrative of how they describe it dropped in vertically, stopped at their altitude and then paced their aircraft, that is a very consistent story. We’ve had many of those.”
Roe also added that the FedEx pilots’ account of their UFO experience is “very consistent with what pilots have been reporting for over 100 years.”
“The primary difference being that this case is on video. Now there are cameras in the cockpits and they are validating what pilots have been describing anecdotally for over 80 years and the work of NARCAP over the last 20 years,” reads the report.
NASA chief Bill Nelson latest official to suggest UFOs have otherworldly origins
NASA chief Bill Nelson latest official to suggest UFOs have otherworldly origins
BY MARIK VON RENNENKAMPFF, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR
In a freewheeling Oct. 19 discussion on space policy, NASA administrator Bill Nelson spoke passionately about his agency’s mission to seek out life beyond Earth. In his comments, Nelson pivoted almost immediately to a series of U.S. military encounters with mysterious flying objects, many of which appeared to maneuver in extraordinary ways while inrestricted airspace.
After speaking with several of the naval aviators who observed the unknown craft, NASA’s chief is convinced that the pilots “saw something, and their radars locked onto it.” Asked to speculate about the nature of the phenomena, Nelson – an Army veteran, former senator and ex-astronaut – responded, “Who am I to say that planet Earth is the only location of a life form that is civilized and organized like ours?”
As surprising as his answer may be, Nelson is only the latest high-level official to hint that UFOs may have otherworldly explanations.
Asked in June about the military’s recent encounters with mysterious craft, former President Bill Clinton – like Nelson – responded by pondering the vastness of the universe and the high probability of life existing beyond Earth. Similarly, former President Obamaspeculated about the extraordinary implications if recent incidents involved otherworldly objects. Of note, Clinton and Obama retain access to top-level intelligence briefings.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Queried about the Navy’s encounters with UFOs, former CIA director John Brennanspeculated that the objects might “constitute a different form of life.” Channeling Clinton, Obama and NASA’s Nelson, Brennan stated that “it’s a bit presumptuous and arrogant for us to believe that there’s no other form of life anywhere in the entire universe.”
In much the same vein, former CIA Director James Woolsey, a longtime UFO skeptic, recently signaled openness to the possibility that such encounters have otherworldly explanations.
In a series of interviews, Ratcliffe ruled out secret U.S. technology and cited “high confidence” intelligence assessments to eliminate foreign adversaries as possible explanations for the most compelling UFO encounters. According to the former head of U.S. intelligence, some UFOs exhibit “technologies that we don’t have and, frankly, that we are not capable of defending against.”
Like Ratcliffe, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) ruled out foreign powers or highly classified American technology, leaving few explanations for the phenomena.
By now, readers should be sufficiently convinced that this topic transcends America’s deepest political fault lines.
Perhaps more importantly, Luis Elizondo, former director of a Pentagon unit that analyzed military encounters with UFOs, has suggested that the most compelling incidents have extraterrestrial explanations. Ditto for Christopher Mellon, the top civilian military intelligence official during the Clinton and second Bush administrations. At the same time, U.S. intelligence analysts are reportedly considering the possibility that recent encounters involved “non-human technology.”
As surprising as these developments may seem, a holistic view of the phenomenon suggests that history is repeating itself.
Reports of unidentified craft maneuvering in extraordinary ways surged in the 1940s, shortly after the first nuclear weapons were detonated. With stark parallels to recent developments, declassified documents show that from 1947 to 1952, U.S. intelligence analysts ruled out foreign adversaries – such as the Soviet Union – or highly classified American technology as plausible explanations for the most credible and compelling UFO encounters. Unsurprisingly, top military officials began “seriously considering the possibility of interplanetary ships.”
In early 1953, however, such objective, open-minded government analyses came to an abrupt halt.
In response to these Cold War fears, the CIA convened a panel of scientists to assess the UFO phenomenon. Over the course of two days, the scientists, who – critically – were “not given access to the truly puzzling [UFO] cases,” recommended a sweeping government effort to “debunk” UFO sightings.
Fearing another flood of UFO reports, the CIA-convened panel reasoned that a “debunking” campaign would decrease “public interest in ‘flying saucers’” and reduce Americans’ “susceptibility to clever hostile propaganda.”
As investigative journalist Leslie Kean notes, the CIA’s remarkably brief, superficial meetings “would forever change both the course of media coverage and the official attitude toward the UFO subject.”
Vice Admiral Roscoe Hillenkoetter, the first director of the CIA, summarized the situation: “Through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe [UFOs] are nonsense. … Behind the scenes,” however, “high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned…”
As the Air Force systematically discredited witnesses (many of whom had nothing to gain by coming forward), widespread public and congressional anger followed.
Unsurprisingly, the Air Force’s campaign to “debunk” UFO sightings at all costs fueled widespread perceptions of a government coverup, creating fertile ground for an array of exotic (and enduring) conspiracy theories. Moreover, by wrongfully tarring credible witnesses as kooks, the Air Force further fueled the powerful stigma that continues to stifle good-faith reporting of unidentified objects by reliable observers.
Perhaps worst of all, as astronomer and long-time consultant to the Air Force’s UFO project J. Allen Hynek bluntly stated: The 1953 CIA panel “made the subject of UFOs scientifically unrespectable.”
Ultimately, the two scientists who immersed themselves in the study of UFOs more than any of their contemporaries became fierce advocates of serious academic inquiry of the phenomenon.
Sixty year later, as high-level officials speculate openly about such extraordinary possibilities, McDonald and Hynek’s meticulous, undeniably scientific work deserves close examination.

Egypt's long-rumoured second sphinx may have been unearthed by construction workers building a new road.
According to local reports, a sphinx-like statue was found on Al-Kabbash Road, which connects the two temples of Karnak and Luxor built around 1400BC.
Officials have confirmed the statue has a 'lion's body with a human head'.
The 'second sphinx' has not yet been lifted from the ground, however, officials said tourists are welcome to visit the construction site to view the ancient statute.
No photographs of the structure have been published, the Director General of Antiquities has confirmed.
The Great Sphinx of Giza was discovered by the Great Pyramids on the west bank of the river Nile. It is the oldest and largest known monumental sculpture in the world.

Reports suggest a sphinx-like statue (stock image) has been discovered between the ancient temples of Karnak and Luxor which date to around 1400BC
Excavations first started on the Karnak and Luxor temple complexes, located within the ancient city of Thebes, back in 1884, according to RT.
This led to a flurry of significant archaeological discoveries until around 1960, when excavation work at the sites ceased.
Construction workers uncovered the 'second sphinx' during a roadworks project between the temples of Karnak and Luxor.
The Egyptian infrastructure project has been halted while the statue is examined.
According to the area's Director General of Antiquities, Mohamed Abdel Aziz, the statue can not yet be lifted 'due to the nature of the environment it is in'.
Aziz has confirmed tourists are able to visit the road to see the statue for themselves, however, he confirmed no images of the statue have been released.
The Al-Kabbash Road project to excavate and restore the road first began in 2005 and is scheduled to be finished by the end of this year at a cost of $12.7 million (£10m).

The Great Sphinx of Giza was found by the Great Pyramids on the west bank of the river Nile and is the oldest and largest known monumental sculpture in the world
With the body of a lion and the head of a human, Great Sphinx of Giza measures a grand 239ft (73 metres) long and 65ft (20 metres) high.
Literally translating to 'Father of Dread,' this mythical creature is believed to resemble Pharaoh Khafre, who was the ruler at the time of construction.
It is believed that Djadefre, the elder brother of Khafra, built the Sphinx to honour his father Khufu.

It is just next to the Great Pyramid of Giza which was built as a tomb and a symbol of eternity for the Pharaoh Khufu
This would place the time of construction somewhere between 2550 BC and 2450 BC.
However the limited evidence linking the Sphinx to Khafra is circumstantial and somewhat ambiguous.
It was constructed around during the reign of Pharaoh Khafra, and it is thought that the face of the statue was modelled on his.
Over time it gradually became buried up to its neck in sand, which helped to preserve it before it was finally excavated in 1925.
It is just next to the Great Pyramid of Giza which was built as a tomb and a symbol of eternity for the Pharaoh Khufu.
It stands 456ft (139 metres) high – just over nine double decker buses stacked on top of one another.
It was the tallest man-made structure on Earth for 3,800 years and is accompanied by the smaller pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure
WHAT IS THE VALLEY OF THE KINGS?
The Valley of the Kings in upper Egypt is one of the country's main tourist attractions, situated next to the Giza pyramid complex.
The majority of the pharaohs of the 18th to 20th dynasties, who ruled from 1550 to 1069 BC, rested in the tombs which were cut into the local rock.
The royal tombs are decorated with scenes from Egyptian mythology and give clues as to the beliefs and funerary rituals of the period.
Almost all of the tombs were opened and looted centuries ago, but the sites still give an idea of the opulence and power of the Pharaohs.

The most famous pharaoh at the site is Tutankhamen, whose tomb was discovered in 1922.
Preserved to this day, in the tomb are original decorations of sacred imagery from, among others, the Book of Gates or the Book of Caverns.
These are among the most important funeral texts found on the walls of ancient Egyptian tombs.

A SPHINX, possibly more than 4,000 years old, has been discovered buried by workmen building a road in Egypt.
The roadworks between the ancient temples of Karnak and Luxor have been halted after the large statue was discovered featuring a “lion’s body and a human head”.

The relic could date as far back as 2500 BC and the reign of Pharoah Kafre.
The Director General of Antiquities Mohamed Abel Aziz announced plans to excavate the statue, which is still buried in the ground and embedded in the soil.
He added the process could take some time due to the age of the statue and the chances of damaging it after thousands of years.
Mr Abel Aziz confirmed the new find had similarities to the “classical” Great Sphinx of Giza which stands 66ft tall in front of the Great Pyramids.

A mystery sarcophagus has been opened in Egypt despite a deadly history of Egyptian archaeology
What does the Sphinx represent?
A sphinx is a mythical creature usually depicted in Egypt as having a human head with the body of a lion.
Egyptian sphinxes are usually depicted as male but Greek ones are often female.
The Egyptian ones are seen as benevolent, but possessing incredible strength, and seen as guardians and can often be seen outside the entrance to temples.
Many believe the head of the sphinx at Giza to be the pharaoh Khafra.
The oldest known sphinx was found near Gobekli Tepe in Turkey and is believed to date to 9500 BC.
In Greek mythology, the sphinx was said to ask all passers-by the riddle: ""Which creature has one voice and yet becomes four-footed and two-footed and three-footed?"
The sphinx then is meant to have devoured anyone who could not answer.
Oedipus, according to legend, finally solved the riddle by replying: "Man—who crawls on all fours as a baby, then walks on two feet as an adult, and then uses a walking stick in old age"
Mysterious void discovered inside the Great Pyramid of Giza
Mysterious Void Detected Inside Giza’s Great Pyramid ...
Khaled al Anani, the national heritage chief, encouraged people to go and visit the site to see the new discovery.
Local news website Youm reported that the statue could not yet be lifted above ground “due to the nature of the environment it is in.”
The "second sphinx" was found just over six miles from the famous Valley of Kings – the burial place of the ancient Pharaohs.
It was uncovered between two the temples on the opposite bank of the River Nile.
Egyptologists and archeologists have a number of holy grails on their bucket lists – the tomb of Alexander the Great and that of Antony and Cleopatra are certainly at or near the top. A non-tomb Egyptian grail is the long rumored second Sphinx which many believe is positioned very near to the current one-and-only Great Sphinx of Giza. One would think that a statue of that size would easy to find but that hasn’t been the case, leading many to believe that ancient writings touting its existence are fakes. That hasn’t stopped sphinx-seekers like Reda Abdel Halim, who claims he’s known the location of the second sphinx since 1986 and is finally ready to reveal its location. Would this have anything to do with the fact that Reda Abdel Halim is currently the director of public relations for the Giza pyramids district at the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities?
“Dr. Reda Abdel Halim, Director of Public Relations at the Giza Pyramids, and the discoverer of the second Sphinx rock in the Giza pyramids area, said that this rock has existed for a long time in the tenth of King Khafre and perhaps before him, because some inscriptions found inside suggest that there is a connection between these The rock and between the ancient first Sphinx.”
(Google translation from Cairo Live)
Reda Abdel Halim announced his discovery to Cairo Live in late October and the news was met with skepticism throughout the Egyptology world, not to mention in his own department. Halim claimed he brought in a “property manager” in 1986 to measure the giant rock he found and its dimensions were 73 meters (246 feet) long, 20 meters (67 feet) high at the head, and the hands reach 15.5 meters (50.8 feet), which is … get ready … the same size as the Great Sphinx of Giza. Abdel Halim did not reveal the location, only to say it is in the area of the pyramids and he found it using research done by archeologists at Zagazig University.
“This is completely not true. The Sphinx is unique in Egypt and the world. … Any talk about discoveries of other similar statues is baseless and has only one purpose, which is creating media fanfare. Any claims about research on the Sphinx at the Zagazig University is also false. Studies and research must be published in a scientific journal so that we can respond with scientific evidence. Talks about a text that is said to have been inscribed on the Sphinx but got erased by the passage of the time mentioning the existence of another similar statue, are baseless.”
Renowned Egyptologist Zahi Hawass, former Minister of Antiquities and an archaeologist who oversaw the pyramids area for nearly 20 years, told Al-Monitor Abdel Halim’s claims are completely false and he scoffed at the ‘evidence’ – a description that was once on the Great Sphinx but is now worn off. Nevin al-Arif, media advisor to the minister of tourism and antiquities, agreed with Hawass and revealed the identity of the statue Adel Halim claims is the second Sphinx.
“The statue in question was discovered a long time ago in the area and has nothing to do with the original Sphinx. It is nothing but a normal statue.”
However, the final nail in the sarcophagus was hammered by Mohammed Hamza, the former dean of the faculty of archeology at Cairo University, who said:
“The Giza pyramids area is an active zone in terms of archaeology and tourism. If there were another Sphinx, scientists would have discovered it earlier. This area is of paramount importance, whether in the past or nowadays. Had there been any other Sphinx statue, it would have been discovered two hundred years ago. Excavations and digging operations are nonstop there.”
The Giza pyramids area is one of the most studied, looted, probed, scanned and searched archeological sites in the world. And yet, professional and amateur Egyptologists and archeologists are like Fox Mulder – they want to believe there’s a second Sphinx … so much so that they’re willing to ignore that Abdel Halim claims to have known about what would be a ‘this changes everything’ discovery since 1986.
Amerikaanse vliegtuigbouwer Boeing krijgt toestemming voor satellietconstellatie
De Amerikaanse autoriteiten hebben Boeing woensdag lokale tijd toestemming geven om 147 satellieten in een baan rond de aarde te brengen. Op die manier wil het bedrijf consumenten wereldwijd toegang geven tot breedbandinternet.
De Federal Communications Commission (FCC) "heeft een aanvraag goedgekeurd voor een vergunning om een satellietconstellatie te bouwen, te stationeren en te exploiteren", aldus een verklaring. "Boeing is van plan breedbandinternet en communicatiediensten aan te bieden aan particuliere, commerciële, overheids- en zakelijke gebruikers."
De FCC heeft 147 satellieten goedgekeurd voor Boeing, waarvan de grote meerderheid in een lage baan om de aarde (Low Earth Orbit (LEO)) zal worden gebracht. Zo worden er 132 op een hoogte van ongeveer 1.000 kilometer geplaatst, vijftien anderen zullen geplaatst worden op een hoogte tussen 27.000 en 44.000 kilometer.
Concurrerende bedrijven kwamen eerder al met plannen voor satellietconstellatieprojecten. De Amerikaanse miljardair Elon Musk, hoofd van SpaceX, heeft al meer dan 1.500 satellieten in een baan om de aarde gebracht. Amazon-oprichter Jeff Bezos heeft een soortgelijk project lopen onder de naam Kuiper.
Boeing proposes a constellation of between 1,396 and 2,956 V-band satellites in 35-74 orbital planes at 1,200 km in altitude. Each satellite's footprint would be subdivided into thousands of 8-11-km-diameter cells, with each cell using up to 5 GHz of bandwidth. Boeing also wants regulators to clear the way for a mega-constellation in C-band, athough Boeing is not planning its own C-band constellation.

UFO Fleet Seen Over Hong Kong, China On Nov 4, 2021, Video, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Fleet Seen Over Hong Kong, China On Nov 4, 2021, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: November 4, 2021 Location of sighting: Tai Po, Hong Kong, China
A fleet of UFOs were seen lined up on top of each other. The objects are thin disks, with a visible transparent center. much like the classic disk. The objects wobble every now and then, but they seem to be holding position in one place. I really wish the eyewitness could have gotten out of his car, but it looks like he was in a very busy part of Hong Kong and had no chance to pull over. But wow! Absolutely amazon catch. Aliens are probably keeping an eye out on Hong Kong, now that China has taken control of it.
Ok, just another day of exploration. I think I found the lost island of Atlantis. I mean only a technologically advanced civilization could construct such a massive face. It measures 4km across and over 14km tall from neck to top of head. The face looks very similar to ancient statues found on archeological digs around the world, and yet, this one is 14km long! I believe this is part of the lost island of Atlantis. I circled the island in a Google Earth photo at the bottom of this post. It looks like a sunken island that measures hundreds of km across. This could be the legendary island of Atlantis. This face...could be the face of the ancient Atlantans who lived there. A species of ancient aliens that tried to live on Earth long ago.
Even Plato told a story of Atlantis around 360 B.C. The founders of Atlantis, he said, were half god and half human. They created a utopian civilization and became a great naval power. Plato said Atlantis existed about 9,000 years before his own time, and that its story had been passed down by poets, priests, and others.
And now...we have found it! If people explore and find ancient alien technology still remaining intact...what will the world do with such technology?
What Happened to the Astronauts Who Were Lost in Space for 311 Days?
What Happened to the Astronauts Who Were Lost in Space for 311 Days?
Mankind has already attained several milestones in the field of modern space exploration. We have put several humans on the surface of the moon, sent unmanned space probes to foreign planets, and are currently even making plans to permanently colonize other celestial bodies.
In view of present and future achievements, however, we should not forget that the foundations of manned space flight were not laid out of pure scientific interest, but rather because of the political turmoil of the time.
In order to prove to their hated adversary that their own nation possessed the most advanced technology of all time, the United States and the Soviet Union showed little regard for casualties during the Cold War.
We'd like to join you in taking a look at a somewhat lesser-known side of the "race to space." We take a look at the stories of some Soviet cosmonauts, which raise the critical question of how much human suffering is acceptable for the sake of technical progress.
Additional:
1. Vladimir Mikhaylovich Komarov (16 March 1927 – 24 April 1967) was a Soviet test pilot, aerospace engineer, and cosmonaut. In October 1964, he commanded Voskhod 1, the first spaceflight to carry more than one crew member. He became the first Soviet cosmonaut to fly in space twice when he was selected as the solo pilot of Soyuz 1, its first crewed test flight. A parachute failure caused his Soyuz capsule to crash into the ground after re-entry on 24 April 1967, making him the first human to die in a space flight.
2. On June 16, 1963, aboard Vostok 6, Soviet Cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova becomes the first woman to travel into space. After 48 orbits and 71 hours, she returned to earth, having spent more time in space than all U.S. astronauts combined to that date.
But, was Soviet Cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova the first woman to travel into space?
The Torre Bert Recordings.
The Judica-Cordiglia brothers are two former amateur radio operators who made audio recordings that allegedly supported the conspiracy theory that the Soviet space program had covered up cosmonaut deaths in the 1960s.
On May 19, 1961, the Torre Bert listening station ( Judica-Cordiglia brothers) in northern Italy purportedly picked up a transmission of a woman’s voice, sounding confused and frightened as her craft began to break up upon reentry.
Is this the first woman in space?
The supposed recording of a Soviet space flight in 1961. In it, a Russian woman can be heard complaining about the increasing temperature inside the craft before it is destroyed attempting re-entry.
This was recorded by the Judica-Cordiglia brothers in 1961. It is reportedly one of many transmissions intercepted by the two brothers that prove the existence of the lost cosmonauts.
The following is a translation of what the woman is saying:
five…four…three …two…one…one two…three…four…five… come in… come in… come in… LISTEN…LISTEN! …COME IN! COME IN… COME IN… TALK TO ME! TALK TO ME!… I AM HOT!… I AM HOT!
