Champ Search: Beluga Whales May Inhabit Lake Champlain

BURLINGTON, Vt. – Dennis Hall spends much of his time monitoring Lake Champlain.

“Normally there’s no noise. It was different. Different. And so clear,” said Hall.

The Panton man is looking for a legend. He made headlines in 1985 when he claimed to spot the lake creature, known as Champ.

“Something made the noises and it’s totally amazing,” said Hall.

Since then, he’s been chasing Champ trying to record the mythical monster’s every move.

“Not hearing anything like I heard before,” said Hall

And now, Hall has teamed up with Katy Elizabeth, who runs the organization, “Champ Search.”

During recent surveillance, they say they made another surprising discovery.

“I was in total shock,” said Elizabeth.

A beluga whale in Lake Champlain.

“I was listening with the hydrophone and all of the sudden I started hearing ‘eekeeekeek,’ like monkey noises and it was strange and then clicking like ‘click, click, click,’” said Elizabeth.

The team used underwater audio testing equipment and claim they documented a rare vocalization used by only a handful of species to find food. None of which should live in a fresh water lake.

“Everything is pointing toward belugas or some other animal, not native to this lake that is in here feeding,” said Hall.

And Hall says he even saw something big, white and torpedo shaped nearby.

Reporter Darren Perron: Could this be true?

Bill Ellison: Well, it could be true. I think it’s a highly unlikely scenario.

Elliston works at Echo Lake Aquarium and Science Center in Burlington. He says what Hall mostly likely spotted were sturgeons, similar in shape with bright white bellies.

He doubts a beluga whale could live in Lake Champlain. The closest any have officially been seen in recent years– the St. Lawrence Seaway near the Richelieu River. It connects to Lake Champlain. But Elliston says it would be a difficult migration through canals.

“Not only would they have a hard time getting here, but they’d have a hard time living here. They live in salt water. I think it’s really highly unlikely that a beluga whale could swim up the seaway, up the Richelieu River and Lake Champlain without being noticed by anyone,” said Elliston.

The mouth of the Otter Creek dumps into Lake Champlain. It is exactly a half mile from this point upstream where the researchers got their readings.

And the readings were taken about 8 miles from where a fossil remains of a beluga whale buried in clay soil in Charlotte. It was unearthed during railroad construction in 1849 and is now on display at the University of Vermont’s Perkins Geology Museum.

The fossil was left behind when this area was an extension of the Atlantic Ocean until the glaciers receded and the land rebounded. Whales and other sea creatures were trapped and died, but some species managed to adapt like Atlantic salmon.

“As far as I know belugas can’t do that,” said Elliston.

There’s also a recording captured by the Fauna Communications Research Institute in 2003.

A group of scientists searching for signs of Champ for the Discovery Channel recorded what sounded like a beluga whale as well.

“It’s interesting. If there are belugas in the lake, things are changing,” said Hall.

Hall says evidence is stacking up that something’s in the water and he now believes Champ may have company.

“Which is more far-fetched– champ or beluga? Something is making the noise,” said Hall.

Champ Search is sending their recordings to an expert for analysis. – WCAX

Thai Woman Attacked by Python in Bathroom

Bangkok: Rampeung Onlamai, 57, of Samkok, Thailand, was getting out of the shower when the huge snake sank its fangs into her right hand and attempted to drag her down the drain.

She reportedly grabbed a nearby broom to fend it off and screamed for her daughter’s help who rushed to her rescue and pried the python’s head off her hand.

Rampeung was later taken to hospital for treatment. Wildlife officials rushed to the spot to capture the snake.

Pythons are found in sub-Saharan Africa, Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, Burma, southern China, Southeast Asia, Philippines, Indonesia, New Guinea and Australia.

In the United States, an introduced population of Burmese pythons has existed as an invasive species in the Everglades National Park since the late 1990s. – Deccan Chronicle

Seances & Catholics

I occasionally listen to The Archers on the car radio driving to Mass on Sunday mornings. Yesterday I was startled to hear Jennifer Aldridge tell her husband Brian that she planned to hold a séance; I suppose this was written into the script as a nod towards Halloween. Brian, naturally enough, opposed the idea, not for religious reasons but because it’s not the kind of activity that one should get up to in middle class circles in Ambridge. Jennifer laughed it all off; “It’s only a bit of fun” she told him.

That is the common view of Ouija boards – but actually, Catholics are sternly warned again the activity. That’s because we know the Devil is real and that it’s folly to ever consider dabbling in the occult. It’s not “fun”; it’s playing with hellfire. Again, because we have just celebrated Halloween, there has been a spate of articles on the diabolic. I read an article about the film of The Exorcist in Alateia magazine for October 31st. One particular detail stood out: that in the famous case in 1949 of demonic possession, which became the basis for William Peter Blatty’s novel of 1971 (then followed by the film of his book), the family of the youth involved, a 13-year-old boy from Maryland, “thought he might have been plagued by the spirit of a recently deceased aunt, who had introduced the boy to the Ouija board.”

The youth was exorcised in St Louis by Jesuit priests. William Bowdern SJ, the lead exorcist, was in no doubt that this was a case of genuine possession. The whole process lasted a month, ending successfully on Easter Monday. Significantly, Bowdern fasted during that month, in acknowledgement of Jesus’ own warning that fasting is as essential as prayer when engaging in serious spiritual combat. The mention of Ouija boards reminded me of my own youthful folly in this area.

As a student at Cambridge in the 1960s I took part in a séance organised in Magdalene College by some undergraduate friends. I was motivated by sheer curiosity to see what would happen and it was certainly bizarre and scary to watch the upturned glass move fast under its own volition round the table. I can’t remember the questions we asked the “spirit” we seemed to have conjured up and, feeling uneasy about the whole incident, I never returned for follow-up séances. I now see it was a stupid and dangerous activity to have engaged in.

I suspect that modern man rejects Satan because of films like The Exorcist; sensational Hollywood horror treatment turns the story into a creepy thrill that is dismissed as sheer fantasy. But as CS Lewis reminds us in The Screwtape Letters, the Devil doesn’t generally bother with spectacular phenomena such as possession or conjuring up spirits; why bother, when he can trap us with greater success through our own human weaknesses, our vanity, our egotism, our imprudent curiosity?

The genesis of The Screwtape Letters is described by Walter Hooper in his recent CTS booklet “CS Lewis: Apostle to the Sceptics”. Lewis wrote to his brother on 20th July 1940, mentioning that he had been listening to Hitler over the radio and finding that “Statements which I know to be untrue all but convince me…if only the man says them unflinchingly”. Still thinking of Hitler’s persuasiveness, he told his brother the next morning “Before the service was over…I was struck by an idea for a book which I think might be both useful and entertaining. It would…consist of letters from an elderly retired devil to a young devil who has just started work on his first “patient.” The idea would be to give all the psychology of temptation from the other point of view.”

I learnt from the CTS booklet that St John Paul II used The Screwtape Letters with his students in the 1950s. Also, that two-thirds of the large income Lewis made from his books and his wartime broadcasts was given away, anonymously, to widows and orphans through a charitable trust he set up called “The Agape”. Hooper asked Lewis, who led “a plain, almost threadbare life” why he had given away so much of his income. Lewis simply replied, “God was so good in having me that the least I could do was give away most of what I made in His name.”

That’s a lovely anecdote; if prayer and fasting are the classic weapons to use against the wiles of the Devil, I think generosity on this scale must also be high on the list. – Catholic Herald

Honolulu Five-0 Haunted

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Honolulu’s Police Department’s downtown location gives some officers an eerie feeling late at night.

A new video posted online by HPD shows one officer describing one night where she heard a voice calling out from an open cell.

She said she was doing routine cell block checks, and just kept hearing a male voice yell, “officer, officer.”

When she went to go look, all the cells were empty.

About ten years ago in the same area, Officer Benjamin Lloyd says he was working late and found a man lying down in a jail cell, but the door was open.

Lloyd said he locked it and went to go get his boss, but when they came back, the locked cell was empty.

“I know what I saw and I know I wasn’t dreaming,” Lloyd said. “Most of the officers will tell you they don’t believe in ghosts. But most of them will admit to you they had an uneasy feeling, walking the halls, especially at night.”

Some officers believe the reason for these unexplained events is because this particular location was built near a cemetery, and there have been several accounts of paranormal activity since the doors opened. – Hawaii News Now

NAVY VETERANS UFO ENCOUNTER AT PEASE AIR FORCE BASE

(Before It's News)

NAVY VETERANS UFO ENCOUNTER AT PEASE AIRFORCE BASE.
 NOVEMBER 2007    ……..    PORTSMOUTH NEW HAMPSHIRE

 Let me just say this about myself; I’m 55 years old I am a navy veteran jet engine mech. stationed on an aircraft carrier, always been a gearhead, model builder, sci–fi books and movie fan. Compared to most people I’m a military aircraft expert; knowledgeable on theories of flight etc. and what I saw was totally life changing.  Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on the coast. It was a brisk November weekday about 2 pm; bright sun, low white fluffy cumulous clouds moving quickly inland. It was about 50 degrees and I just happened to be walking near the loading dock (door was open) and a tall DHL driver had a package and needed a signature.  We made idle greeting conversation; he was a good bit taller than I so I had to look up to talk to him. Over his shoulder something caught my eye. He drove off.  I went outside and saw something shining through the cloud, but it wasn’t the sun; it was two o’clock and the sun was over my right shoulder and behind me.  So I kept watching as the clouds moved over the stationary object. It was a “mother of pearl, silvery white disc as big as a KC 10 tanker at least. I saw it as the wisps of cloud peeled and swirled off its edges then it became unobscured by clouds.  I was standing there in awe; I had the presence of mind to look around, but there wasn’t a soul anywhere. It stayed put for about an entire minute.  I called out at this point to a co-worker on the phone inside; then it started to move out over the ocean. By the time my co-worker came out it was fairly small, but she did see it!  It went until it became a dot; then took off straight up in an instant.  Our company is located adjacent to the control tower at Pease military air base, how they could not have seen this thing is ridiculous. Somebody had to have seen something.  NOTE: The above image is a rendering

Triangle UFO on Michigan video might be stealth aircraft

(Before It's News)

A Michigan witness near Auburn Hills and Rochester reported capturing “an inbound triangle” UFO that he feels might be a stealth aircraft, according to testimony in Case 61223 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The “CE-5 outing” with a group of people was in place when the video was shot at 8 p.m. on November 2, 2014.

“The group met at the organizer’s house in Auburn Hills,” the witness stated. “When we were heading out to the cars to make half-mile journey to our selected field, we noticed the skies were perfectly clear – an excellent night to be star gazing. It was fairly bright as the moon was overhead and about 70 percent full.”

The group then drove to the site about a half-mile away.

About 30 minutes into the session the witness saw and videotaped a triangle craft appearing from the north on a southerly trajectory. Pictured: Auburn Hills, MI. (Credit: Google)

“We again looked skyward and this time commented on three chemtrails being visible. We grabbed our chairs and walked a couple hundred feet to the middle of the field and set up our chairs and blankets. That process couldn’t have taken more than 15 minutes.”

According to the chemtrail conspiracy theory, long-lasting trails left in the sky by high-flying aircraft are chemical or biological agents deliberately sprayed for sinister purposes undisclosed to the general public. Believers in the theory argue that normal contrails dissipate relatively quickly, and contrails that do not dissipate must contain additional substances. (Wikipedia)

But then they noticed more “chemtrails” in the sky.

“But now there were 15 chemtrails blanketing the sky. The entire sky was nearly completely obscured.”

The witness began shooting video with night vision recording equipment.

“Somewhere about 30 minutes into the session I saw a triangle craft appear from the north on a southerly trajectory. It was emitting light from each of its three corners (as you’ll see in the attached video ‘auburn hills’). Its altitude seemed to be at least several thousand feet. I called out that I saw an inbound triangle and the guy next to me tried frantically to see what I was talking about. He didn’t have any light enhancing devices and never ended up seeing the craft.”

The group remained in the field until 9:15 p.m. when the cold sent them home.

“The next day, Monday, November 3, 2014, I went through the recordings to show the craft to the others who didn’t see it.”

But once the entire video was reviewed, more objects were seen.

“I hadn’t reviewed more than five minutes of video when I saw what looked like a huge craft moving behind the clouds. I then created a program to step through the frames one at a time so I could see what was going on. It ended up being that what looked like a huge stealth craft with two more fast moving lights. They came in on parallel trajectories from the top of the video and split off towards the center as you should be able to see in the attached video ‘hidden UFOs.’ Since I didn’t notice the crafts during recording, I panned away earlier than I would have liked had I known they were there. If you step through the frames, you can see the lower craft initiating a hard bank to its left when I’m starting to turn away.”

The witness is speculating on what was seen.

“When there are three craft in two separate encounters within 30 minutes of each other – this is beyond coincidence. Now considering the clouds that were specifically created (being chemtrails) and only over a relatively localized area, and there was a flurry of advanced technology overhead, it is undeniable that the chemtrails were anything but specifically placed there to shield us from seeing what was going on overhead.”

The witness believes the objects may be part of a man-made project.

“Since these didn’t exhibit out of this world maneuvering capabilities, I am hesitant to say they were of alien manufacture. Their speed and triangle shape indicates advanced technologies which are within reach of our black projects, so all of this seems likely to be a military cover-up of alien technology.”

Auburn Hills  is a city in Oakland County, MI, population 21,412. Michigan MUFON is investigating.

Michigan has a current UFO Alert Rating of 5 with a low number of recent reports nationally. Michigan had 16 UFO reports that occurred during October 2014 – calculated at 1.62 sightings per million population.

The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels – 1 through 5 – where states with 4.01 or higher reports per million residents are rated an Alert 1; 3.01 – 4.0 reports are an Alert 2; 2.51 – 3.0 are an Alert 3; 2.01 – 2.5 are an Alert 4; and those states with 2.0 or lower are rated an Alert 5.

Please remember that most UFO sighting can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

Adamski’s Venusians

(Before It's News)

George Adamski was a Polish-born American citizen who became widely known in ufology circles, and to some degree in popular culture, after he claimed to have photographed ships from other planets, met with friendly Nordic alien "Space Brothers", and to have taken flights with them. The first of the so-called contactees  of the 1950s, he styled himself to be a "philosopher, teacher, student and saucer researcher."

Adamski claimed that he had been contacted by the Venusian occupant of a flying saucer that landed in the California desert November 20, 1952. Subsequently Adamski claimed to have had contact with spacemen from Mars and Saturn and to have traveled 50,000 miles into space in their craft. After Adamski's revelations, the convention of spaceman contacts, messages from outer space, and warnings about the welfare of the cosmos became firmly established.

One of the most curious UFO conferences of all time occurred on August 7-8, 1954. This meeting was held at the top of Mount Palomar, at an altitude over 6,000 feet, in front of the Skyline Lodge.

The congress was promoted by three of the most famous contactees: George Adamski, Truman Bethurum and Daniel Fry. More than a thousand persons attended, from American journalists, FBI agents, saucer witnesses and just the curious.

Each of the contactees told their own experiences and took the occasion to sell their autographed books.

At Adamski’s turn, the “professor” explained that the Venusians were much alike human beings. So much so they had infiltrated our society and were living in the big cities. He also presented a painting with an artistic depiction of a Venusian.

At the end of the first day there was some commotion when the audience noticed the presence of two men and a woman with an exotic appearance. The rumor started that they were disguised Venusians. Those that Adamski had talked about a few hours before.

One of the men used glasses. The three were white and the woman had long blonde hair, but the strangest thing were her black eyes

Dolores Barrios

One of the attendees asked them, without much embarrassment: “Are you or are you not Venusians?”. The woman, smiling, calmly replied. “No”.

"Why are you here?"

"Because we are interested in this subject."

"Do you believe in flying saucers?"

"Yes."

"Is it true that, as Mr. Adamski says, that they come from Venus?"

"Yes. They are from Venus."

Brazilian journalist João Martins was also present and he interviewed them as well, obtaining the following information:

Her name was Dolores Barrios, a dress designer; the names of her friends were Donald Morand and Bill Jackmart [they were musicians]. The three of them lived in Manhattan Beach, California.

Martins asked if he could photograph them, but they refused. They were bothered and tired of being called Venusians. According to Martins, Dolores Barrios looked very much like the painting that Adamski had shown.

Donald Morand and Bill Jackmart

For the rest of the conference the three became isolated and didn’t talk with the other attendees. In the following day, at the end of the meeting, the strange visitors let themselves be photographed.

Nowadays it’s said that Martins photographed Dolores using a flash, surprising her. Dolores was scared and ran to the forest. Soon afterwards, a flying saucer was seen rocketing upwards, but no one was able to capture a photo.

New Evidence Lost Civilizations Really Existed

(Before It's News)

What if everything you’ve been taught about the origins of civilization is wrong? Be it that certain pieces of our history have been intentionally hidden, or that we have yet to discover and realize the true story of our past, new archaeological and geological discoveries are revealing that sophisticated civilizations have likely existed in prehistoric times.

Until recently, the archaeological community has spread the view that the beginnings of human civilization started after the last Ice Age, which ended around 9,600 BC. All human ancestors prior to this time were recognized as primitive, uncivilized hunter-gatherers who were incapable of communal organization and architectural design. It was only after the Ice Age, when huge 2-mile deep ice caps that covered much of Europe and North America melted, that our human ancestors started to develop and perfect agriculture, forming more-complex economic and social structures around 4000 BC. Archaeologists believed that first cities started around 3500 BC in Mesopotamia and, shortly after, in Egypt. On the European continent, the oldest megalithic sites are dated around 3,000 BC, and the popular Stonehenge is dated between 2,400 BC and 1,800 BC.

This is the established chronology being taught in schools and believed by modern society. Prehistoric societies such as Atlantis have been declared myth.

Until now. New research now reveals that civilized humans were settled on Earth during the prehistoric era.

“Everything we’ve been taught about the origins of civilization may be wrong. Old stories about Atlantis and other great lost civilizations of prehistory, long dismissed as myths by archaeologists, look set to be proved true.” ~ Danny Natawidjaja, PhD, senior geologist with the Research Centre for Geotechnology at the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (Source)

Since 2011, Dr. Natawidjaja and his team have worked on a geological survey site in Indonesia about 100 miles from the city of Bandung. The significance of the site was first recognized in 1914 when megalithic structures made from blocks of columnar basalt were found around a summit of a large hill. When the hill’s summit was cleared of trees, it was realized that the blocks formed five terraces. These were believed to be used for meditation and retreat. The site was deemed sacred by locals and dubbed Gunung Padang, meaning “Mountain of Light” or “Mountain of Enlightenment”. The age of the terrace structures was estimated around 1,500 BC to 2,500 BC.

What Natawidjaja discovered at Gunung Padang was astounding. The hill was actually not a natural hill but a 300-ft high step-pyramid. And what’s even more controversial is that the structure was much older than anyone imagined. Natawidjaja radiocarbon dated the terrace structures at around 500 to 1,500 BC, similar to previous estimates. He also used tubular drills to bring up cores of earth and stone from various depths underneath the surface megaliths. As the drills dug deeper, Natawidjaja continued to discover that the columnar basalt structures extended far beneath the surface and yielded much older dates. At depths of 90 feet and more, the material was found to be 20,000 BC to 22,000 BC years old. Using radiocarbon dating, Natawidjaja and his team proved that man-made megalithic structures and hence a prehistoric human civilization existed well into the Ice Age.

“At 7,000 or more years older than Stonehenge the megaliths of Gobekli Tepe, like the deeply buried megaliths of Gunung Padang mean that the timeline of history taught in our schools and universities for the best part of the last hundred years can no longer stand. It is beginning to look as though civilization, as I argued in my controversial 1995 bestseller Fingerprints of the Gods, is indeed much older and much more mysterious than we thought.” ~ Graham Hancock (Source) “Gunung Padang is not a natural hill but a man-made pyramid and the origins of construction here go back long before the end of the last Ice Age. Since the work is massive even at the deepest levels, and bears witness to the kinds of sophisticated construction skills that were deployed to build the pyramids of Egypt or the largest megalithic sites of Europe, I can only conclude that we’re looking at the work of a lost civilization and a fairly advanced one. ” ~ Dr. Danny Natawidjaja (Source)

The Greek philosopher Plato was also a believer that high civilization existed well into the last Ice Age. His recorded dialogs with other scholars of his time date Atlantis and its submergence by floods and earthquakes at around 9,000 BC, which is, coincidentally, in agreement with modern scientific knowledge about the rapidly rising sea levels towards the end of the Ice Age at 9,600 BC.

The question now arises: What happened to prehistoric civilizations? Why did they not survive the “Younger Dryas” period, which dates from 10,900 BC to 9,600BC? It is known that the Younger Dryas was a truly cataclysmic period on Earth, with immense climate instability and terrifying global conditions. Scientists have long debated the mystery behind this and the reasons for the massive extinction of North American megafauna such as short-faced bears and saber-toothed cats dated around 11,000 BC. Was the same mystery responsible for a massive human population decline and disappearance of advanced prehistoric societies?

New research conducted by geologists around the world, including James Kennett, professor emeritus in the Department of Earth Science at the University of California Santa Barbara, has linked the Younger Dryas period to a cosmic-impact event, possibly a comet collision with Earth. The international research team from 21 universities and 6 countries has identified a distribution of nanodiamonds of extraterrestrial nature at 32 sites in 11 countries, spanning an area of 50 million square kilometers across the Northern Hemisphere. Kennett comments:

“We conclusively have identified a thin layer over three continents, particularly in North America and Western Europe, that contain a rich assemblage of nanodiamonds, the production of which can be explained only by cosmic impact. We have also found YDB glassy and metallic materials formed at temperatures in excess of 2200 degrees Celsius, which could not have resulted from wildfires, volcanism or meteoritic flux, but only from cosmic impact.” (Source)

It’s known that during the Younger Dryas, the Earth experienced great global instability, with a sharp decline in temperatures even colder than during the peak of the Ice Age. A return to a warmer climate around 9,600 BC caused a sudden melting of the remaining ice caps, resulting in a quick rising of the ocean levels.

Kennett and his colleagues believe that the beginning of the Younger Dryas and the sharp temperature decline were caused by a cosmic event, similar to the event responsible for the mass extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. The scientists have called the moment in time illustrated by the nanodiamond datum as an isochron. Was this isochron responsible for creating the mystery of lost civilizations? Kennett believes so:

“It’s not surprising that many large animal species, such as the mammoths, went extinct during this precise time and of course it had huge effects on our ancestors, not just those ‘primitive’ hunter gatherers the archaeologists speak of but also, I believe, a high civilization that was wiped from the historical record by the upheavals of the Younger Dryas.” (Source)

Southern Colorado Locals Still Clueless About the Mysterious Bright light

Residents in Hooper City, Southern Colorado, have been reporting UFO sightings for the past month. The residents do not have an idea yet about the bright colored disc shape flying object that has been appearing above the area from October.

Hopper UFO watcher, Judy Messoline, says that San Luis Valley is a UFO hotspot and tourists are going to the area to get a look of unidentified flying objects.

Messoline further reveals that they have documented these strange sightings in Hopper since the 1700s, and the city is also popular for its paranormal activities.

However, appearances of the mysterious round object emitting a bright light become frequent in the past month. This object appears to be flying weirdly and sometimes hovers for several minutes in the sky, according to Messoline.

Meanwhile, George St Pierre claimed to have witnessed an unidentified flying obnject over Albuquerque, New Mexico, a state near South Colorado. St Pierre, who was a welterweight Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) champion, said that he never talk about aliens, but just non-identified flying objects.

He said that he was with Rashad Evans and Mike Van Arsdale, a Mexican fighter Alejandro, and Frankie Edgar’s manager Ali. They were all in the car and when they were on the highway of Albuquerque, New Mexico, they saw a UFO altogether. St Pierre said that they can’t identify it and they all agreed that it was something that they cannot explain. He described the object as fast moving one. It came towards them and all of a sudden changed directions and vanished.

Just few months ago, there were UFO sighting in the sky of Houston during a stormy evening. According to the locals, it seemed that the mysterious UFO was emitting lights with multiple colors. The UFO appeared from the dark sky before disappearing without a trace.

Rendlesham Forest Film Will Be Shown In Europe, America and Asia

Mysterious lights and alien activity in the sky have been linked with Rendlesham Forest since the night of December 26, 1980. Many USAF personnel have come forward claiming to have seen extraterrestrial aircraft and strange lights at East Gate in the forest, near to the USAF bases Bentwaters and Woodbridge.

A film that premiered at the Colchester Film Festival on October 22, 2014 is set to be viewed by a wider audience. The film shares the story of three UFO investigators who plunged deep over three days into Rendlesham Forest. It is written and directed by Daniel Simpson (Spiderhole, H). Simpson spent almost four years filming on handheld cameras and creating special effects for the film on his own. He says his experience shooting the film, mainly talking to eyewitnesses of the events in 1980, has changed his opinion.

He says that he felt that the eyewitness he had talked were telling the real story just by looking into their faces and eyes. Simpson adds that he believes something happened, which might never be known, but he thinks people do know.

The film entitled “Rendlesham UFO Incident” will be shown in UK, America and Japan. The film will have a general release in Japan and America later in 2014 under the title Hangar 10 while the UK general release will be in February 2015.

Daily 2 Cents: ‘Aliens Are ‘Disgusted’ By Us’ — When Flesh and Blood Fell From the Sky — Ghost Terrorizes Office Staff

(Before It's News)

Dan Aykroyd: Aliens are ‘disgusted’ by us

Actor Dan Aykroyd is convinced alien life forms refuse to make contact with the human race because we are seen as a “violent, depraved, disgusting species”.

The Blues Brothers star is a keen student of extraterrestrial sightings and is adamant he has encountered UFOs on several occasions in the U.S.

He even insists he saw two suspicious objects in the sky as the horrors of the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center in New York were unfolding, and believes that sighting gives a clue as to why aliens have not made contact with humans.

Aykroyd tells The Sunday Times Magazine, “(It’s) because we are a violent species. They don’t want anything to do with us. They watch us. There were two white orbs over (New) Jersey when the second tower went down on 9/11. They were on CNN for about two minutes… They never showed it again.

“Can you imagine what was going through their advanced minds when they saw what happened on 9/11? These humans crashing our highest evolution in aviation into our highest evolution in architecture and metallurgy, like kids wrecking toys in the sandbox. They are disgusted with us. And rightly so. Because we are a depraved, disgusting species.” – Toronto Sun

****************************************************************

A reader reminded me of a strange incident from the mid-19th century:

When Flesh and Blood Fell from the Sky

The fall of flesh and blood from the sky would generate no small amount of curiosity, even in our technologically advanced society acquainted with air travel. We can only imagine the consternation that such events had upon people in the days before powered flight. Falls of blood, and in some cases even flesh, have been chronicled throughout history from all over the world. Understandably, these events sometimes caused consternation among the people, and were often seen as portents of ill luck or doom.

In North Carolina in the nineteenth century, two different incidents of blood and flesh falling from the sky were recorded. The episodes, one in Sampson County and the other in Chatham County, occurred 34 years apart.

The first flesh fall recorded in North Carolina occurred on 15 February 1850 on the farm of Thomas Clarkson, thirteen miles southwest of the county seat of Clinton. His account of the incident, and a sample of the material, was taken to Fayetteville by a Mr. Holland.

Clarkson’s description of the event was taken down by Mr. Holland and printed in the North Carolinian, a newspaper published in Fayetteville. He noted, “On the 15th Feb’y, 1850, there fell within 100 yards of the residence of Thos. M. Clarkson in Sampson county, a shower of Flesh and Blood, about 250 or 300 yards in length. The pieces appeared to be flesh, liver, lights, brains and blood. Some of the blood ran on the leaves, apparently very fresh. Three of his (T.M.C.’s) children were in it, and ran to their mother exclaiming, “Mother there is meat falling!” Their mother went immediately to see, but the shower was over; but there lay the flesh, &c. Neill Campbell, Esq. living close by, was on the spot shortly after it fell, and pronounced it as above. One of his children was about 150 yards from the shower and came running to the rest saying he smelt something like blood. During the time it was falling there was a cloud overhead, having a red appearance like a wind cloud. There was no rain.” Continue reading at Anomalist

Ghost Terrorizes Office Staff

Poltergeist activity is said to be taking place at council offices in Boston – with staff reporting the presence of a ‘shadowy figure’ and objects being thrown about.

One member of staff at Boston Borough Council’s 110-year-old Municipal Building in West Street is refusing to work alone in an office there, unless the door is propped open.

Four female staff at the environmental operations office have reported the ghostly goings-on.

These have included a shadowy figure appearing behind them, then disappearing, glass thrown to the floor, a kettle switching itself on and disk drawers on PCs opening when they are switched off,

Staff in the adjoining building control officer heard Kayleigh Wagg scream when she turned from making herself a coffee to be confronted by a shadowy figure which was standing behind her. She had been alone in the office at the time.

“I sometimes get a creepy feeling and there are cold spots in the office,” she said. “I turned from the fridge after making a coffee and in front of me was this dark figure. I screamed and it just disappeared.

“The office is often really cold even though we have good heating. I don’t like to be here on my own now. And if I am I keep the door open with a chair. I never believed in ghosts, but I’m not so sure now.”

Colleague Emma Butler said her computer disk drawer had popped open, even when the machine had been switched off. And she said a glass, which had been placed well away from the edge of the fridge, had smashed to the ground.

Becky Shinn, one of the council’s no-nonsense environmental crime officers, said: “Something is definitely happening here. One day the beam supporting one of the strip lights began to creak and we could see it moving. There was nothing to cause this and after a while it just stopped.”

The office is in the oldest part of the Municipal Buildings and close to where the police cells were once positioned. – Boston Standard

Unexplained Phenomenon in Mexico

(Before It's News)

     A boy in Mexico has caught a mysterious apparition flying around his yard on his camera. On both videos the bright orb changes colors and beams a light onto the ground and his trees. Details about the incident remain sketchy, but someone reported seeing the mysterious apparition hovering over in Mexico. The white doughnut-shaped object stayed in the sky for nearly an seconds before fading away.

Thousands See Giant UFOs All Over Australia  (Video)

(Before It's News)

(N.Morgan) The UFO activity over the last several months seems to have intensified and the sightings are more blatant and in the open. Australia has seen thousands in the last few months and most of them are being excused as strange, natural, cloud formations. Check out the video and photos and make your own conclusions. I believe this activity in Australia is HAARP, rather than UFOs, in this case. Now, news has stated that these holes in the clouds are a natural phenomenon…Which is incorrect. If they had done their UFO research they would know about the 1957 Ft Belvoir case where a US solider saw a metal ring in the sky over his base and he took photos of it.

However while he took photos, the UFO created a white smoke cloud around it until it was 100% hidden from view. I have a 50 magazine in which this case was first published in. Also the 2006 O’Hare Airport UFO, where hundreds of people saw the grey disk hovering over Gate C17, after a few minutes it suddenly shot upward at an angle. As it went up, it went though a overhead cloud leaving a perfect round hole in it for 15 minutes! I can go on, and on, but that’s necessary is it?

An Alternative History of Mankind

An Alternative History of Mankind is the new book from John Ventre, who also penned UFOs Over Pennsylvania; Apophis 2029; The Day After 2012; and several other titles. And, as John’s bio notes: “John is a member of the FBI’s InfraGard group [and is] the PA State Director for the Mutual UFO Network.” On top of that, John “owns the UFO themed Mexican restaurant trademark, ‘Flying Salsa.’”

With that all said, it’s time to take a look at John’s latest release. A copy was sent to me quite some time ago, but work commitments ensured that I was only able to finally finish reading it last week – and I’m very pleased that I did. An Alternative History of Mankind is not your average UFO book – and that’s a very good thing, too.

Not only does John Ventre’s book deal with a number of definitively alternative issues, it’s also written in alternative fashion – at least, the first part is. By John’s own admission, the first 100 pages of his book are fictionalized. Of course, telling what is, effectively, a non-fiction story in a fictionalized setting can be risky and can also end up confusing the readers. Fortunately, the approach John takes works very well.

John has clearly dug very deep into the mysteries of both the infinitely distant past and of recent history. He has also come to some intriguing and notable conclusions along the way. But, to get his message and ideas across, John presents us with a thought-provoking and engaging scenario.

In the novelized part of the book, John is driving out of Roswell, New Mexico, when he sees a strange-looking woman hitchhiking along the road. He decides to pick her up, and that’s when things get interesting.

First, there is the woman’s appearance: she is an albino with strange, grey eyes. Her name is Sigrun. As the journey progresses, it becomes very clear that Sigrun is not from these parts, to put it mildly. That much becomes acutely apparent when Sigrun begins to relate what she knows of the Earth’s history and of a lengthy extraterrestrial manipulation of the human race.

What follows amounts to a discussion between John and Sigrun on a wide and varied body of data on numerous topics. They include: the genetic manipulation of Neanderthal man; attempts by hostile alien races to wipe us out with lethal viruses (something which is linked in the story to the cattle-mutilation issue); the origins of ancient Egypt; the “Face on Mars” controversy; Fatima; and the infamous Battle of Los Angeles.

But things don’t end there. In fact, Sigrun has barely begun: the JFK-UFO connection; HAARP; the mystery of the Men in Black and – as we get to the end of the story – eschatology all crop up. Yes, it’s an unusual way to get a message, concepts, and thoughts, across – but it works.

In contrast, the roughly remaining two-thirds of the book are written very differently to the opening sections. John provides us with summaries of what he believes to be some of the most credible UFO evidence on record, such as that relating to the aforementioned Battle of Los Angeles, and the famous 1967 missile shut-downs. There’s also a list of useful facts about the UFO phenomenon – a list which runs to 168 entries, and which will be particularly useful for newcomers to the subject.

Did UFOs Disable Minuteman missiles at Malmstrom Airforce Base

The remaining parts of the book are wide-ranging. They include a history of UFO crash cases; a summary of UFOs caught on film; and quote from famous and powerful people, including various presidents of the United States, astronauts, and high-ranking military personnel.

Particularly intriguing is the section of the book that focuses on John’s personal (and sometimes traumatic) encounters with what can only be termed the world of the paranormal. An out of body experience, an encounter with what sounds somewhat like one of the creepy “Shadow People,” and childhood prophecies are just parts of it.

Add to that copies of some of John’s articles (from MUFON’s monthly journal and elsewhere), papers on (a) the alleged Aztec, New Mexico UFO crash of 1948; and (b) the strange life and death of Morris Jessup, and what you get is a wide and infinitely varied body of material to sink your teeth into.

And one last thing: there’s an excellent paper on trans-humanism from Mysterious Universe’s very own Micah Hanks.

Check it out!

Alien Relic Found And Destroyed In Nazlet, Egypt  (Video)

(Before It's News)

(N.Morgan) Ancient, Alien relics were found and destroyed by those who don’t want the truth to come about alien life forms. Could there be a bigger secret they were hiding? Why would authorities want to destroy what could be a possible link to us and alien life forms?

The possible alien relic, has been found in the Egyptian village of Nazlet el Samman. The relic, which is the keystone of a city gate, is hundreds of years old, and clearly shows a humanoid alien, possibly a small grey or spaceman, surrounded by ancient glyphs and markings.

STRANGE SIGHTING IN AIRPORT PEREIRA – COLOMBIA

STRANGE SIGHTING IN AIRPORT PEREIRA – COLOMBIA

Sigaarvormige UFO verdwijnt in wolk / moederschip ( VIDEO - spectaculair! )

Ze verschijnen steeds meer, pal onder onze ogen en het overgrote deel van de menesen op onze wereld schijnt ze niet op te merken.

Grote moederschepen, vermomd of verborgen in (onweers)wolken van waaruit en waarin UFO's vliege.


Vorige week hadden we de bijzondere getuigenis van een dame uit Friesland die 's avonds op haar fiets stapt en onderweg een onweerswolk tegenkomt waaruit UFO's tevoorschijn komen.

Het is een indrukwekkend verhaal, zeker omdat het haar opvalt dat deze wolk eigenlijk de enige is aan een zo goed als onbewolkte hemel.

Dit voorval vond plaats afgelopen 7 oktober en een dag later gebeurt het volgende in Mexico.

Enkele weken geleden, op 8 oktober, is er een maansverduistering in Mexico. Een aantal mensen staat klaar met een mobiele telefoon om hier opnames van te maken, totdat ze een vreemde wolk waarnemen. Dat is vreemd want verder is de lucht onbewolkt. 

Het is ook geen gewone wolk, het is klaarblijkelijk een onweerswolk want de bliksemflitsen schieten er doorheen en uit. 

Dan, ineens, zie je rechts een sigaarvormige UFO in beeld komen die met een fenomenale snelheid op de wolk afschiet. 

Minder dan een seconde later is hij in de wolk verdwenen en komt tegen alle natuurwetten in niet aan de andere kant tevoorschijn.

Volgens de op onze aarde bekende en geldende natuurwetten kan dit niet. Een object wat met een dergelijke hoge snelheid komt aanvliegen kan niet binnen zo'n relatief kleine wolk tot stilstand worden gebracht. En toch gebeurt het; kijk en val niet van je stoel.

Afgezien van de vorm van de UFO is het bovenstaande vrijwel gelijk aan het verhaal van de dame uit Friesland. Een vreemde wolk in de lucht die er eigenlijk niet helemaal thuishoort. Geen gewone, maar een soort onweerswolk compleet met bliksemflitsen van waaruit of waarin UFO's verschijnen en verdwijnen.

Er is iets gaande, dat is duidelijk. Iets wat eigenlijk tot voor kort niet voorkwam, maar nu steeds meer. Grote moederschepen met daarin kleinere UFO's in diverse soorten en maten.

Of zijn we getuige van UFO's die gebruikmaken van dimensie-/sterrenpoorten op specifieke/geschikte plaatsen op aarde?

Overal en wereldwijd stromen de afgelopen maanden ufomeldingen binnen. Zodanig dat zelfs in veel gevallen de mainstream media er niet meer omheen kan omdat ze gewoon in beeld komen tijdens televisie-uitzendingen.

Daarom navolgend een samenvatting van de meest opvallende ufowaarnemingen van de laatste maanden.

UFO mania: Moon size UFO near sun may be evidence of Type II alien civilization

We have a nice close up of the UFO and behind it you can see there is a trail of solar particles in its wake. This UFO has a really interesting geometric form to it. Notice the uneven shape with many right angles to it. Maybe aliens don't want humanity to know about them yet, but I say why wait for an invitation. We may not be able to shake their hands, but we sure as heck can track their ships near our sun. SCW

Bob Lazar and His Ununpentium, The Story of Element 115

by Martin J. Clemens

Heated debate between the believer and the non-believer always produces a significant amount of friction, but few arguments have been as vitriolic as the on-going disagreement between those who support Bob Lazar and those who don’t.

Lazar, as many of my readers are completely aware, is a UFOlogical mega-star, a living legend. He is the one and only seemingly credible former Area 51 whistleblower…or is he?

Lazar claims to have been involved with reverse engineering alien technology at a top secret government facility labelled S4, which is believed to be a subsidiary of the Groom Lake Nevada test facility known as Area 51.  Allegedly working at S4 from 1988 to 1989, Lazar says he saw nine different extraterrestrial vehicles there and has provided detailed information on the mode of propulsion and other technical details of a disc-shaped vehicle he called the sport model.

Robert “Bob” Lazar

Of course, Mr. Lazar isn’t without his detractors.  His credibility has been called into question over his alleged education and his involvement in the scientific community.  He claimed to hold degrees from the California Institute of Technology (Cal Tech) and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), though neither institution has any record of his attendance, as has been investigated by the likes of Stanton Friedman and the investigative team at the Los Angeles Times.  But a lack of records doesn’t necessarily discredit him completely, as many believe the government has been systematically erasing Lazars history, all in an effort to reduce his story into a steaming pile of misinformation.

Among the tales he’s told, one of the more technologically plausible is that of the propulsion system used by some of these alien craft, namely element 115.

Element 115 or Ununpentium, which sounds like something you might find on an alien moon called Pandora, is actually a real thing, believe it or not.  Currently known to mainstream science as a synthetic superheavy element in the periodic table, that has the temporary symbol Uup and has the atomic number 115; ununpentium is a candidate for the island of stability, which is not some tropical destination but rather a grouping of isotopes with stable half-lives.[1]

S4 Disc Reactor

According to mainstream science, element 115 was discovered in 2003 and cannot be found be found in nature.  Officially it is said to be very unstable with a half-life of only 200 milliseconds or so, much like its periodic table neighbours (with half-lives ranging from several nano-seconds to a few minutes).  It has only been synthesized in very small amounts, about 50 atoms to date.  But Lazar says otherwise, he stated that the US government has (or had) at least 500 pounds of the stuff, given to them by the Reticulan EBE’s (extraterrestrial biological entities).  According to Lazar, the ununpentium was processed by the Los Alamos National Laboratory, eventually creating several milled cones or wedges of the element that could then be used as fuel for the craft in question.  In its milled form, according to Lazar, it is highly stable and provides a gravitational force field that can be used to propel the craft.

To some in UFOlogy circles, Lazars description of the characteristics and effects of element 115, provides a plausible explanation for the flight characteristics of some, or well, most UFO reports and there are those who have put a great deal of effort and thought into the ununpentium question.[2] Analysis of the element is far beyond my chemistry knowledge, so I leave the scientific scrutiny up to the reader.

As is consistent with their mission, RationalWiki.com describes Lazar as an out-and-out liar, citing his missing educational records and sketchy work history as cause to doubt his claims.[3] [4] But support for Lazar and his story has been unwavering in the UFO and paranormal communities and there does seem to be some verifiable scientific endorsement, at least for his element 115 narrative.  The argument will continue for sure and likely we will never see a resolution of the facts at hand, but, as with all of these type of stories, the truth behind the legend is probably stranger than any one of us can imagine.

Low altitude UFO reported over small West Virginia town

(Before It's News)

The witness was driving along I-77 near Ghent, WV, when the low flying object was seen. Pictured: Ghent, WV. (Credit: Google)

A West Virginia witness at Ghent reported watching a low altitude light “with no sound or trail behind it” moving overhead about 6:20 p.m. on November 3, 2014, according to testimony in Case 61183 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was driving northbound along I-77 and had “just topped Flat Top Mountain” on a clear night when two airplanes were spotted moving due east.

“As I was watching the planes, at a much lower altitude a light appeared and grew brighter and once it got to its brightest, it sped east with no sound or trail behind it,” the witness stated. “This all happened in a span of 7 to 10 seconds.”

The witness watched two planes at a higher altitude during the November 3, 2014, sighting. Pictured: Ghent, WV. (Credit: Google)

After the object disappeared from view the planes could still be seen traveling east.

“Not sure what it was I saw, but as soon as I walked in the house I asked my family if they heard a sonic boom or anything loud. They said they heard nothing nor saw anything from home.”

Ghent is located in Raleigh County, West Virginia, population 457.

West Virginia has a current UFO Alert Rating of 1 with a high number of recent reports nationally. West Virginia had 9 UFO reports that occurred during October 2014 – calculated at 4.85 sightings per million population – the highest in the nation for the October reporting period.

The UFO was seen for 7 to 10 seconds about 6:20 p.m. on November 3, 2014. Pictured: Ghent, WV. (Credit: Google)

The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels – 1 through 5 – where states with 4.01 or higher reports per million residents are rated an Alert 1; 3.01 – 4.0 reports are an Alert 2; 2.51 – 3.0 are an Alert 3; 2.01 – 2.5 are an Alert 4; and those states with 2.0 or lower are rated an Alert 5.

Please remember that most UFO sighting can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

A Georgia witness at Athens reported watching a small, triangle-shaped UFO 200 feet above the street at 8 p.m. on November 3, 2014, according to testimony in Case 61184 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was driving northwest along Cedar Shoals Drive and stopped at a red light at the intersection of Barnett Shoals Road and Gaines School Road.

“I noticed two large, very bright white lights moving at a slow pace moving from west to east directly over the intersection,” the witness stated. “At first I thought that it was a small plane coming or going from the Ben Epps Airport.”

But on closer inspection the object did not appear to be a plane.

The Athens, GA, witness was driving northwest along Cedar Shoals Drive and stopped at a red light at the intersection of Barnett Shoals Road and Gaines School Road, pictured, when the triangle-shaped UFO was seen about 200 feet above the intersection. (Credit: Google)

“As the object moved overhead I looked up and noticed that the lights were attached to what appeared to be a triangular craft with a dark gray frame (although it was difficult to make out any detail), no larger than a small car or go-kart, about 200 feet above the intersection. I then realized that what I was seeing looked nothing like a small plane.”

The witness and her husband had a similar sighting with a triangle-shaped UFO about a year ago along the same road.

“I felt shocked that I was seeing what appeared to be the same triangular craft that I saw a year earlier. Unfortunately, the traffic light turned green and I had to move through the intersection, at which point I lost sight of the craft.”

No images or videos were included with the MUFON report which was filed on November 4, 2014. The witness did provide one illustration of how the object appeared in the sky.

Stan Gordon: Giant Flying Cryptid Reports Increase in Pennsylvania

(Before It's News)

From Researcher Stan Gordon

www.stangordon.info

There has been a long history of giant bird sightings in Pennsylvania. The term “Thunderbird” has been used to describe these generally very large, normally black or dark brown birds with massive wingspans. Not all of the descriptions of these flying cryptids however are the same. Some witnesses I have Interviewed in past years have stated that what they saw looked more like a giant bat.

Others reluctantly told me what they observed looked more prehistoric and similar to a pterodactyl or teratorn. More than one person told me that the huge flying creature they saw could only be described as a dragon. And yes, some who have witnessed these creatures have hesitantly used the term gargoyle.

In recent months there has been a noticeable increase in reports of these mysterious flying creatures. The following is a brief summary of these reports that have come to my attention. I have received other such reports from the eastern region of the state but I have not been able to interview those involved.

March 25, 2014-Giant Bird Observed Near Jeannette, PA

On the afternoon of March 25, 2014, a man was taking a walk near Jeannette, PA and happened to look up into the sky. The sky was quite cloudy at the time and the witness noticed what appeared to be a small aircraft towards the east. As he continued to watch what he thought was a piper cub, he realized that it seemed to be moving too fast for a small aircraft. As he focused on it he was startled to see that “the wings were turned up at the end.”

The man realized that the dark colored object he was seeing was not a small airplane but appeared to be a huge bird. As he watched, it glided towards the west and brushed the clouds at times. He never saw it flap its wings. While it was difficult to judge the altitude of the creature, the witness estimated that the wingspan was about 15 feet across. The man wanted to get a better look so he ran into his house to grab a pair of binoculars. When he returned outside, the bird was continuing to glide and quickly moved out of sight. He never had the chance to observe it through the binoculars.

July 21, 2014-Indiana County, PA

Did an Experienced Bird Watcher observe a Thunderbird in Pennsylvania?

When I received this call from the witness, it was apparent that he was still having difficulty dealing with the fact that he had observed something that he could not identify. The fellow had been watching and studying the birds of Pennsylvania as a hobby for many years. He knew that what he saw was very strange and he went back and studied his bird reference books before contacting me.

It was late afternoon on July 21, 2014, when the witness was driving through a rural area of Indiana County, Pennsylvania, that he noticed something in the sky that attracted his attention. In the distance, he observed what he first thought was a low flying small aircraft. That was until he noticed the wings were flapping very slowly.  He soon realized that he was watching the largest bird he had ever seen.

The gigantic bird was dark brown in color, and he could see a broad semicircular tail/rump area. The witness, who is very familiar with the birds in the state such as the egret, heron, crane and eagle, said that the wingspan dwarfed that of an eagle and he estimated the wingspan of this huge bird to have been longer than twelve feet. He watched the bird fly over the wooded area until it was lost from sight. The man stated that he was in a state of slight disbelief but estimated his total sighting to have lasted  about 20 seconds.

A note of interest is that there are a number of power lines close to the area of observation. Also, the location of the sighting is within a mile and a half of the Homer City power station. I have mentioned this before, but I have noted for years that many cryptid encounters as well as low level UFO sightings quite often occur in the vicinity of energy sources.

August 24, 2014-Scottdale, PA-Bird with Massive Wingspan Reported

I received a call from Roger Marsh a Scottdale resident and Editor of the MUFON UFO Journal reporting that he had observed a huge giant bird over that area. It was about 1:15 PM, while moving furniture, when the witness noticed directly up in the sky the biggest bird he had ever seen. Marsh was able to see the beak, body and wings of the huge flying creature that was dark in color. The most outstanding feature was the massive wingspan of the bird that was easily visible as it made wide circles in the mostly sunny sky. According to the witness, two men reportedly were overheard discussing at a local convenience store that on the same day they had also observed a Thunderbird over the area.

September 23, 2014-Jeanette, PA-Huge Prehistoric-Like Bird Observed

A witness living near Jeanette was standing in his backyard during the afternoon when his attention was drawn towards the sky after hearing a strange sound. The man told me it was difficult to explain the sound but that it was a very unusual and loud animal sound similar to Rah, Rah, Rah. He commented that he would imagine that a dinosaur might make such a sound if they still existed today.

As he looked up the sound was coming from a giant “very black” bird passing low over his property. The witness estimated that the body of the creature was 6 feet or more in length from head to the tail. The wingspan was the most obvious feature that extended to 12 feet or more in width. The witness commented reluctantly that what he saw looked more prehistoric rather than a normal bird. He also indicated that from what he could see from the wings it did not have feathers but that it was covered with skin like that of a giant bat. The man watched as the huge flying creature moved off in the distance.

This observation took place only a couple of miles away from the location where another giant bird sighting was reported in March by another observer.

September 24, 2014-Penn, Pa.-Huge bird Trails Helicopter

It was late afternoon when two witnesses observed something in the distance over a group of trees near the community of Penn only a few miles from Jeanette. The observers watched as a helicopter moved  across the sky. They were used to seeing such aircraft passing through the area but it was what was following that helicopter that drew their attention. They watched as a huge black flying creature followed close behind the helicopter.

The bird appeared to be at least as large as the chopper and possibly somewhat bigger. For a short time it continued to follow the helicopter then circled several times over the trees before moving off over a hill in the distance. One witness told me she never expected to see a dragon in the sky, but that is what the huge winged creature looked like. (Note: This is the second report I have received over the years of a huge bird following close to a helicopter.) I went to the location to interview the witnesses who were able to give a detailed account of what they had observed.

September 24, 2014-Irwin, PA-Strange noises from woods.

This event interestingly occurred only a few miles away from Jeanette and Penn.. The witness was getting into his car about 9:45 PM that evening. The man parks near a heavily wooded area. He estimated that from 50-80 feet away he heard loud noises as if something large was snapping tree limbs.

Then he heard a loud shrill sound coming from the woods that frightened the man. The sound he described was somewhat similar to the Rah-Rah-Rah sound that the witness near Jeanette had reported the day before.

I went to the location with another investigator who had worked on these cases with me for many years to interview the witness and search the wooded area where the incident occurred. While no evidence was found in the woods, the witness appeared very sincere and was evidently quite frightened by his experience.

October 4, 2014-New Florence, PA-Unknown Giant Bird 15 Feet Over Car

It was during the late afternoon when the witness traveling on a rural road about 2 miles from the New Florence power generating station was startled when a huge bird passed about 15 feet over the top of his vehicle. The witness who is very familiar with local birds and says that this creature was much larger than any wild turkey he had ever observed.

The witness stated that this giant flying creature was black or extremely dark brown in color. He could see its elongated neck that was similar to a goose as it moved across the road and was rising higher into the sky. The creature was covered with feathers, and the witness said the beak looked similar to a raptor. He was not certain but he thought the beak was light brown in color. He was amazed at its wingspan that he estimated was about 12 feet in width. He could not hear any sound which may have been drowned out by the engine noise. This sighting occurred about 16 miles from the location in Indiana County that occurred on July 21, 2014.

If you have seen any of these flying creatures I am interested in communicating with you about your experience.

Daily 2 Cents: Kashmir Musk Deer Rediscovered — Castle Frankenstein — Utah Cattle Mutilations

(Before It's News)

Kashmir Musk Deer Rediscovered

Hallowe’en may have passed for another year, but deer with vampire-like fangs are still haunting the hills of Afghanistan.

It is the first time that rare fanged Kashmir musk deer has been spotted in over 60 years.

Despite their ghoulish appearance, the endangered male creatures use their fangs during mating season to seduce females and fend off love rivals, instead of sucking blood.

One of seven similar species found in Asia, Kashmir musk deer live on the rugged forested slopes of northeast Afghanistan, according to the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) which came across a small population when conducting a recent survey.

The last scientific sighting in Nuristan province, Afghanistan, was believed to have been made by a Danish survey team traversing the region in 1948.

Utah Cattle Mutilations

The strange deaths of several young cows has Daggett County investigators puzzled.

Three young cows were found dead of “unknown causes” in early October in ranching fields around Manila, said Daggett County Sheriff’s spokesperson Susie Potter on Wedneday.

While their cause of death remains a mystery, all showed evidence of “postmortem mutilation,” leading investigators to suspect foul play, according to a sheriff’s office release.

While Potter could not disclose how the cows were mutilated, she said that it was obviously the work of humans, not other animals.

The deaths resemble an unsolved case that occurred about the same time last year, when two cows in the Manila area died for unknown reasons — and were mutilated postmortem, Potter said.

They are tough cases to solve, since the cows are out in wide-open fields with little chance of there being witnesses, Potter pointed out.

But if anyone has seen anything suspicious, or knows anything about these cases, Daggett County Sheriff Jerry Jorgensen wants them to call the sheriff’s office at 435-784-3255435-784-3255 or 435-789-4222435-789-4222. All tips will be kept confidential, according to the release. – St.Louis Tribune

Blind woman is cured after hitting her head

A woman who lost her sight as a child found that she could see again after banging her head on a table.

38-year-old Lisa Reid from Auckland in New Zealand hadn’t been able to see anything at all from the age of 11 due to a tumour in her head pressing down on her optic nerve, but after a freak accident at the age of 24 she suddenly regained her sight.

Reid had been kneeling down to kiss her guide dog goodnight one evening when she hit her head on a coffee table. Thinking little of it she went to bed as normal only to find that when she awoke the next day her sight had been inexplicably restored.

“Nobody knows what happened or can explain it,” she said. “I can’t really find words to describe how it felt – amazing, fantastic. You can imagine not being able to see and then you can, you can’t really describe that. To see the world again visually is a gift.”

Reid took the decision to come forward with her story in an effort to help raise awareness for the Blind Foundation charity which helped her during the years in which she was unable to see.

“I’m grateful for what they’ve given me,” she said. Read more at Independent

Castle Frankenstein

Johann Konrad Dippel was rumored to create potions, perform electrical therapies, and partake in gruesome experiments involving stolen body parts from the graveyard. Born in the Castle Frankenstein in 1673, it’s disputed whether or not he was the inspiration for Mary Shelley’s mad scientist of the same name, who did some cadaver experiments of his own.

What is sure about Dippel is his colorful career as an alchemist. He attached his name to Dippel’s Animal Oil, which he discovered from the destructive distillation of animal parts and claimed as a universal medicine. The animal oil came at the end of a wave of popularity for Iatrochemistry, which had moved alchemy from the search for creating gold to finding new medicines. The unpleasant taste and smell, as well as the progression of medicine, made Dippel’s oil fall into disrepute by the end of the 18th century.

Dippel later helped set up a laboratory in Berlin for making gold and, at one point, he ended up in prison on a Danish island for seven years due to political activities. In 1734, he finally had a stroke and died at the Castle Wittgenstein near Berleburg, although his friends claimed he was poisoned. By his own hand or that of another, it is unclear.

The Castle Frankenstein is now in ruins, with only two towers, a restaurant and a chapel remaining. However, the perhaps mythical connection to Mary Shelley’s novel “Frankenstein” keeps it a popular destination, especially for Halloween. A popular annual party was started there by American soldiers stationed near the castle in World War II. Until it was deactivated in 2008, the US Army’s 233rd Base Support Battalion in Darmstadt conducted an annual Frankenstein Castle run which finished at the tower. The castle was featured in an episode of “Ghost Hunters International” which aired in February of 2008. – Atlas Obscura

Why Bigfoot Is Getting Nervous

Rachel Gendreau was driving on a deserted rural road one October night when she decided to take a shortcut through a patch of thick woods.

There was a full moon that night, and the road was tinged with an eerie glow. As Gendreau chatted with her fiancé, she squinted into the darkness ahead and saw something strange: A massive wolflike creature was standing upright in the road, staring at her with shimmering white eyes.

As Gendreau drew closer, the creature leaped from the road and bounded into the woods.

“What the hell was that?” Gendreau sputtered. “Did you see it?”

“I don’t know what it was, but it had dog legs,” said her fiancé.

Gendreau looked into the rearview mirror and had another scare: The beast had circled behind her car in a flash and was watching her again with those glittering white eyes as she and her fiancé sped away.

Gendreau didn’t know it at the time, but she had spotted the Wolfman of Chestnut Mountain, an elusive creature that people had sighted in rural Illinois for years. You may not have heard of the Wolfman, but chances are there’s some strange creature lurking near you — and a group of monster hunters is hot on its trail. Read more at CNN

UFO Flying Over Paris, France – Nov 2014 (Video)

(Before It's News)

Witness stated: “I caught a spectacular large craft over the Business center “La Défense”, near Paris. The object was slowly moving between some buildings. It was right in the middle of my field of view, when I started recording with my iPhone.”
 

“The object looked metallic, due to huge sun reflection on its side. It quickly flew away at the third sequence, and disappeared behind the buildings, just before the sun was set.”
 

“It was clearly saucer-shaped, no doubt on this, you can’t deny it. The question is: who? Was it some sort of military prototype, controlled by humans… or something from outer space”?
 

“A few people next to me also witnessed the object… but we were almost the only ones watching it. That is another proof that people live with recurrent habits: work, sleep, eat, run, work again, drive… and never look up a second. This is not a critic, it’s just a fact and that’s why most people never see anything abnormal in their life, and also why they usually don’t believe you when you try to tell them.”

Cube-Like UFO Spotted Near The Sun – Nov 2014 (Video)

(Before It's News)

Earth-orbiting satellites detected a so-called Hyder Flare. Usually solar flares come from sunspots, but there were no sunspots anywhere near this blast.

The C3-category flare was caused by a filament of magnetism. Some of the material in the filament fell back to the sun, causing a flash of X-rays where it hit the stellar surface.

Hyder flares like this help to keep solar activity high even when sunspot counts are low.

During the flare the emergence of a huge cube-like UFO (first video) and the precise tracking of the movement of a giant cigar-shaped UFO (second video).

SAME DAY UFO SIGNTINGS OVER FLORIDA

 
OCTOBER 5, 2014  4 PM     ……..     JACKSONVILLE  FLORIDA
 Disc shaped object seen in the middle of the afternoon.

Driving north on highway 17 (Roosevelt blvd) at about 4pm just past NAS Jax towards my left (East) I would say maybe 2 or 3 miles away was a large probably disk shaped object (about the size of my Galaxy s4 held at arms length. I was traveling at about 60 mph and could not tell if this object was stationary or moving but I think stationary. I saw it a few times through the tree line until I reached San Juan ave. then it was just gone.  When I first saw it it was level and the last time I saw it it was at about a 15 degree incline (no idea if it was facing down or up as the shape was very uniform).   I was not the only driver to see it as I noticed other drivers trying to get a picture of it (I tried but was unable to get it without stopping and there was too much traffic to just stop). I honestly have no idea what this thing could have been.  This just happened 25 minutes ago and I fine with you contacting me if you need to.

 White Disc In the Sky: Viewed From Riverside Avenue

So I had a terribly weird morning. I woke up with strep throat, which had started kicking in last night. I tried all types of medicines and finally gave up and went to the hospital. After being diagnosed and given my prescription for antibiotics and pain meds, I went to a diner and had breakfast while I waited for the pharmacy to open. At the diner I check my Facebook page and I read a message from my sister; Dad has cancer and is not going to do chemo. Then crying. Then pharmacy to pick up meds, call dad, he is too sick to talk, and eventually drive back home.   I am one block from my house though and see this disc in the sky. It is a white disc, oval shaped. At first I just thought, “what a weird shaped cloud”, but then I realized it was moving. I passed my house and continued down the street to catch a better glimpse of this thing. I quickly reach for my phone to take a picture and it quickly flies away.  I park at Memorial Park on the river and try to look for it , but it is no where to be seen.  This is the second alien sighting I’ve seen in the last 6 months, and last time I was with two other friends (all of us sober!) who saw it as well. Last time it also happened that when we brought out our cameras it disappeared, but last time it was flashing different colors and it was also night time instead of daylight .

OCTOBER 5, 2014    ………    SAINT PETERSBURG  FLORIDA
 We saw 2 large UFOs ‘docking’ in the sky at a 30 degree angle for a long time.

Driving home through downtown St. Petersburg, Fl. Sunday night, we spotted an oval ship, UFO high in the sky NW of the area. It most probably was over the Gulf of Mexico, near Maderia beach or Treasure Island.  It just hung in the sky, about 10,000 feet or more up, was a beautiful pinkish color, slanted on a 30 degree angle.  After our car moved slowly up the street going west, we spotted another UFO near it. Same way. It was not exhaust, nor a cloud or a weather balloon.  Husband got it on video. If it were closer to the ground, it would be quite large, perhaps 3-4 miles large, estimating. They remained stationery and seemed like they were just docked there for the night.

NASA’s Edgar Mitchell: Aliens Exist & Government Cover Up is Real, Fox News

(Before It's News)

Who would have guessed that Fox News, the conservative station founded by media mogul Rupert Murdoch, whom of which has been under fire recently, had NASA’s Edgar Mitchell explained to Americans that Aliens exist and that there is a real Government Cover Up.

Of course towards the end the anchors started to make fun of “small green men” living on Mars and drinking water, however, Mitchell doesn’t seem at all fazed by it.

What gets me how do people make fun of an astronaut that says Aliens are real? I mean how much more proof do you need. This isn’t some armchair scientist who is looking through a hand-me-down telescope seeing weird things in the sky, this guy has a Master of Science degree in aeronautical engineering from the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School and a Doctor of Science degree in aeronautics and astronautics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

How many people in America even know what aeronautical engineering even is? How can we not take all of these astronauts seriously?

Buzz Aldrin and Gordon Cooper, have both said that they have seen UFOs but that Buzz wouldn’t comment on “little green men,  however, he did say that  we are diffidently not alone in the universe.

Alien Civilization Makes Contact with New Complex Crop Circles

(Before It's News)

Here is a video I came across of recent crop circles formed over Great Britain that are very detailed and complex with references to Carl Sagan’s discovery of a code that NASA sent out in the mid 70’s.

Two Detailed crop circles that appeared in Great Britain.

Could someone have done this as a huge giant prank? I think that possibility always exists, however, with these new designs of the crop circles and the complexity of it, I am not sure if someone could do it in the middle of the night without using a large light source that would attract attention.

Many people say they experience a strange euphoric feeling when standing in Crop circles and that compasses act crazy. The video does not say anything about how people feel when standing in them, but if they really are created by extraterrestrials, then maybe the euphoric feeling and the strange phenomena are caused by high radiation left over from when the crop circles are created.

Giants Build the Ancient Pyramids of Egypt, Evidence Found

(Before It's News)

The world has always been asking, “who built the great pyramids of Egypt.” Most people believe it was the Egyptians, however, there is some debate on when the actual pyramids were built. Some archaeologists say after carbon dating it seems to be around 7,000-10,000 years ago. However, other debate this and say that they are only a few thousand years old and Egyptians only came around about 3,000 years ago, so it couldn’t be older then that.

What if the Egyptians did build some of the smaller ones, but not the great pyramid. What if they found it and decided to use them and construct more. Which then confused scientists after so many years. This might be why we see three great large pyramids next to three small ones which don’t seem as magnificent next to the great ones.  So the question is… who built them first?

Above is a video that shows evidence that the Giants did in fact build the ancient pyramids of Egypt. Before the skeptics begin to roll their eyes, lets look into history. In Genesis it is said that the Giants (Nephilim) are “sons of God” and the “daughters of men.” The most memorial story of course is the Giant Goliath who fights David.  Also found in Egypt are drawings of smaller humans fighting against larger humans. Almost every culture has names or drawings of Giants from different eras in history.

Here is a comment from user tollan23 who is an actual archaeologist:

“I’m an archaeologist (who has worked at the pyramids) and I have to admit that we’re all admitted into a secret society where we’re told to hide the secrets of the giants from all, under pain of death. Now that I have let you all know the truth my life is in danger. At least the truth is out there now but I will live the rest of my life in hiding.”

On his youtube account he has a number of archaeology videos at the site of Bu Maher Fort, Bahrain.

Gery Nelson has a wonderful and great article on this subject with references and pictures. In his article Nelson says:

“I have tried to keep this within the realm of my own experiences. There is so much more to this. Like the 64 pound sledge hammer found in a 3500 year old copper mine near the town of Llandudno in North Wales. Giant axes unearthed in Iran, Giant swords, etc.You could read for weeks on the subject of giants and if your mind is anything like mine enjoy every minute of it. I would suggest googeling Solomon Island giants, red haired giants, Arizona giants, California giants, Ohio giants, Peruvian giants.”

A few years ago I would have never believed that Giant built the pyramids, thought it was absurd. However, in recent years I have found that the actual truth, maybe stranger then fiction.

According to Author Brad Steiger, who has written over 168 books with over 17 million copies in print. He says in his book “World’s Before Our Own,”

“There have been excavations in the United States that have produced the remains of primitive men and women over seven feet tall; hominids with horns; giants with double rows of teeth; prehistoric people with sharply slanting foreheads and fanged jaws…In July 1895, a party of miners working near Bridal Veil Falls, California, found the tomb of woman whose skeletal remains were six-feet-eight inches in length.”

So what happen to these giants? Why don’t we see anymore today? One theory could be that they died during the great flood, caught diseases or even mated with normal humans, which could explain gigantism syndrome.

The 15 in. long finger which would make the owner about 15 feet tall. (Photo by Gregor Spörri from 1988.)

Also just recently published, but taken in 1988 on the German website BILD.De, are photos taken by Gregor Spörri. Translated from the article is reads:

“In 1988, on the last day of his private investigation trip, he contacted an old man from a grave robber dynasty. The meeting was took place in a farm-house in Bir Hooker, 100 kilometers northeast of Cairo.

After paying, $ 300 Spörri had a look at the grave robber unsold treasure. Wrapped in old rags was the bone and dermis.

Spörri told BILD.de: “It was an oblong package, smelled musty. I was totally flabbergasted when I saw the dark brown giant finger.

I was allowed to take it in hand and also to take pictures; a bill was put next to it to get a size comparison. “The bent finger was split open and covered with dried mold.”It was surprisingly easy, maybe a few hundred grams My heart was up to his neck. That was incredible. In size to a matching body should have been about 15 feet tall”

The grave robber also showed the Swiss certificate of authenticity and an X-ray image. Both are from the 60s.”

The question is, why would Governments around the world hide this from the people? To answer this question I turn to Darwin, which takes you to a dead end if you follow this path. Right now scientists are trying to make the world believe we descended from apes, however, Giants were never part of that theory.  Add Giants to the mix and what is of Darwin?  If the world knew Giants existed and built the pyramids, (which would explain how huge heavy stones were transported 100’s of miles away. And would also display who actually built Stonehenge) then all kinds of questions would arise, like:  Where did they come from? Did we descend from Giants?  Does Darwin’s actually stand for anything? Have we been here for actually millions of years but not know? What else did they build? Stonehenge? Easter Island? Were they part of Atlantis?

The human mind would become so curious that we would then be asking the Governments of the world: “What else are you hiding from us? Do aliens exist? Does NASA really know where our moon came from?

And then the big question: What else have you been lying to us about of our own human history of thousands, 100’s of thousands, millions or even billions of years ago? And even bigger question, if Darwin theory isn’t supported anymore, more and more people might just start thinking…Did God actually create all life and the entire universe?

At this point we would all be seeking the real truth  and everything else in the world would seem dull and boring. Like what is going on with Kristen Stewart or Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, may just become just a couple of human beings that have relationship problems like all of the other millions of couples in the world who have similar issues but no one seems to care about those.

Batman’s ‘BAT’ Like UFO Filmed in Mexico and UFO Mother Ship ‘Giving Birth’

(Before It's News)

Mexico seems to attract many UFO sightings, like back in June 2004, there was a massive fleet of 50-100 UFOs seen over Mexico city seen in this video.

Many Ufologists thought that this event was going to be the day it will be announced to the world that aliens do exist, however, somehow it did not happen. The Mexican government even asked the US government openly to share any information regrading UFO and aliens and/or if it had secret military crafts it was experimenting with. Publicly the US government remained silent. Some big news channels did show the phenomenon, but it was played down and not publicized widely and soon forgoten, replaced with the Bush/Kerry drama. Since 2004, there has been numerous sightings in Mexico.

Here is a very good video of a UFO filmed this past April over Mexico combined with a UFO taken in 2009.

In the video the UFO seems to “give birth” to a few smaller UFOs as they fly around the “mothership” UFO. Also filmed in 2010, is a great detailed video of an UFO that resembles Batman’s “BAT” craft he flies in the new “The Dark Knight Rises” movie, maybe that is where Nolan got the idea?

Still don’t believe in UFO’s? Check out my last post, NASA Scientists And Astronauts Tell The World Aliens Do Exist!

Pope endorses evolution of alien life & UFO activity as part of God’s plan

In a statement before the Pontifical Academy of Sciences on October 27, Pope Francis I endorsed the view that extraterrestrial life – which he refers to as “beings of the universe” - has evolved in ways that is consistent with the plans of “God the creator.” He explained how the Catholic Church views the Big Bang and evolution as scientific processes underpinned by “the plan of the creator.” Pope Francis has officially moved the Catholic Church away from the idea of “God the creator” as a magician or demiurge creating the universe in an act of omnipotence over six days, to a more scientific view that God works mysteriously behind the scenes planning the evolution of life on Earth and the Universe. The Pope’s statement reveals his view that intelligent extraterrestrial life has evolved in a manner that is consistent with “the plan of the creator,” thereby making it possible for extraterrestrials to act in ways that further this plan. The Pope’s statement is a surprising endorsement of the view that the activities of intelligent extraterrestrial life in the universe can be part of a universal plan by “God the creator”. Consequently, Pope Francis’s statement is preparing the Catholic world that extraterrestrial life visiting our world in UFOs may be part of “the plan of the creator.”

Michael Salla

Pope Francis began his remarkable statement by first dismissing the simplistic idea behind creationism where God created the universe in six days and nights:

When we read in Genesis the account of Creation, we risk imagining God as a magician, with a wand able to make everything. But it is not so.

He instead endorsed the more evolutionary friendly view that “God the creator” mysteriously works through nature:

God and Christ walk with us and are also present in nature… the scientist must be motivated by the confidence that nature hides, in her evolutionary mechanisms, potentialities for intelligence and freedom to discover and realize, to achieve the development that is in the plan of the creator.

The Pope went on to discuss the evolution of intelligent extraterrestrial life which he referred to as “beings of the universe”:

He created beings and allowed them to develop according to the internal laws that he gave to each one, so that they were able to develop and to arrive and their fullness of being. He gave autonomy to the beings of the universe at the same time at which he assured them of his continuous presence, giving being to every reality. And so creation continued for centuries and centuries, millennia and millennia, until it became which we know today, precisely because God is not a demiurge or a magician, but the creator who gives being to all things.

The Pope’s statement explicitly endorses the view that intelligent extraterrestrial life may have evolved on many different worlds, and achieved a “fullness of being” and “autonomy” that makes them vital parts of “the plan of the creator.”  This suggests that the activities of intelligent extraterrestrial life throughout the universe can be supported by the Catholic Church as consistent with the plan of “God the creator.”

It is important not to underestimate the magnitude of the Pope’s statement since it supports radical ideas of intelligent design such as extraterrestrial intervention in human history may be part of “the plan of the creator.”  For example, researchers such as Zecharia Sitchin and Arthur David Horn have claimed that genetic manipulation by intelligent extraterrestrials has occurred on early earthly life forms and primates. This radical version of intelligent design is now compatible with Catholic Church teachings according to the Pope’s statement. Furthermore, the ubiquitous UFO phenomenon that suggests extraterrestrial life is visiting and interacting with our world, may also be part of the plan of “God the creator.” The Pope’s October 27 statement is evidence that the Catholic Church is preparing the world for major developments concerning the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life.

Are UFO experts being murdered? New book to investigate ‘pattern’ of deaths

(Before It's News)

A crop circle researcher found floating in the sea and the rapid decline of a UFO expert who believed he had found an alien skull, are the latest in what some claim is a ‘pattern’ of suspicious deaths of UFO experts.

 A crop circle researcher found floating off the coast of Portsmouth and the rapid decline of a UFO expert who believed he had found an alien skull, are the latest in what some UFO researchers claim is a ‘pattern’ of suspicious deaths of researchers into extraterrestrial sightings, stretching back to as early as 1947. 

A plane supposedly shot down by the U.S. military is believed to have been carrying fragments of a flying saucer, while the death of first U.S. Secretary of Defense, James Forrestal, is believed to be UFO related. Some believe that victims number in their dozens. 

The pattern of suspicious deaths hit the headlines again this year as activist Steve Bassett spoke on the subject on national radio show C2C in America. A new book, Close Encounters of the Fatal Kind by Nick Redfern, is due out this summer. 

“Recent cases include, 44-year-old Paul Vigay, who was a leading crop circle researcher who had worked on Mel Gibson’s film Signs. He was found floating off the coast of Portsmouth, Hants., in February 2009,” says Nigel Watson, author of The Haynes UFO Investigations Manual. 

Watson says that while many UFO researchers believe the killings to be the work of government agents, some believe that the killings may be the work of aliens themselves, to cover up their presence on our planet. 

“Many of these cases could be coincidences or people trying to make something out of nothing – but there are certainly some strange incidents,” Watson says. “UFO researcher Philip Schneider’s became increasingly fearful for his personal safety; ‘government vans’ followed him and several attempts were made to run his car off the road. Eventually, his worst fears were confirmed in January 1996. A friend broke into his apartment in Willsonville, Oregon, where his dead body had been rotting for several days. At first, it was thought he had died from a stroke, and then an autopsy found that rubber tubing had been wrapped and knotted around his neck.”

['Alien invasion' to launch in April]

“When you collect the information together there are a surprising number of ufologists who have died in strange ways and circumstances since the 1950s. Prominent activist Stephen Bassett, supports the idea that the U.S. government has regularly murdered innocent citizens who have tried probing into UFO cases like Roswell or who have tried to get the Government to reveal the truth about UFOs.”

Steve Bassett, who won Researcher of the Year at this year’s International UFO Conference, discussed a mysterious “cluster” of deaths that he believes may be related to government agents targeting researchers from the UFO community.

Bassett says, “What we are looking for are death clusters which by their nature and proximity sit out from the background noise.  I try to be careful  with my language in order to minimize upset with family members.  There are a number of death clusters relating to various issues over the past  20 years.  If government connected, not good.  Not good at all.”

“This is a difficult matter to engage as it is impossible to prove individual events. What I am doing is raising concern over a death clusters which stands out from the background noise. This is risky as family members could be offended. I never say with certainty that a particular case is a murder. And I wouldn’t go there at all if it wasn’t the only option to perhaps prevent further such deaths – publicity.” 

The theory that the American government, or other unknown forces, have been murdering UFO researchers is not new, Watson says – with some claiming that suspicious deaths began as early as 1947, and that the death toll is several dozen or even more.

“As long ago as 1971, researcher Otto Binder claimed that at least 137 UFO investigators had died under mysterious circumstances during the 1960s,” Watson says. “A 30-year-long study by UFO researcher Timothy Hood has also revealed that since the 1970s there are numerous cases of UFO researchers and investigators who have been murdered, suffered a sudden death or been the victims of suspicious ‘suicides’ or inconclusive natural causes.” 

The earliest reported “death” occurred in 1947, Watson says, and elements of the story are still unexplained. 

“Deaths related to UFOs go right back to when Kenneth Arnold first investigated a sighting of a ‘fleet’ of UFOs in June 1947 and brought about a worldwide wave of ‘flying saucer’ sightings. 
This involved the sighting of six doughnut shaped UFOs by Harold Dahl, that dropped hot slag like material onto his boat, burning his arm and killing his dog in the process.

The next day his employer, Fred Lee Crisman, visited Maury Island where he found tons of debris and saw another UFO in the area. Kenneth Arnold was called in to investigate the sighting, and feeling out of his depth he invited two Air Force Intelligence agents, Captain Davidson and Lieutenant Brown to help him interview the witnesses. They weren’t impressed with the validity of the sighting, but took away samples of the debris for analysis,” Watson says. 

“As they were returning to their base at Hamilton Field, California, the port engine of their B-25 aircraft caught fire and they were killed when he crashed near Kelso, Washington State. An anonymous caller to the local newspaper, named the victims before the crash was made public and claimed the aircraft was shot down by a 20mm cannon because it was carrying fragments of a flying saucer.”

When Kenneth Arnold took off from Tacoma, his engine failed and he had to make a crash landing. On checking his aircraft, he found that his fuel valve had been switched off. Paul Lance, a reporter for the Tacoma Times, who covered this story, died suddenly two weeks later of meningitis.”

“Ufologists today now think this was an elaborate hoax that got out of hand, and could have been instigated by a US intelligence agency to discredit Kenneth Arnold’s original sighting.” 

Watson says that if one delves deeper, the theories grow increasingly outlandish. 

“Furthermore, according to UFO conspiracy theory, the CIA killed President Kennedy because he wanted to share UFO secrets with the Soviet Union,” Watson says, “In addition, Marilyn Monroe was allegedly murdered because she was speaking too freely about UFOs. The night before her death she had spoken to the TV celebrity columnist Dorothy Kilgallen about the Roswell saucer crash of 1947. Kilgallen subsequently died under mysterious circumstances on 8 November 1965.  This shows how these various deaths can be woven together to support the idea that the truth about UFOs and alien visitations is being suppressed and discredited,” Watson says. 

While the rumours remain a constant “hot topic” within the UFO researcher community, Watson says, ““Many of these stories sound outlandish and many of these deaths do have credible explanations. So they don’t go much beyond the UFO community. Government agencies could be at work but it seems very extreme to murder people, especially over decades, when there are easier ways to discredit UFO researchers.”

ET phoned home, but should we phone ET?

(Before It's News)

Many believe that intelligent extraterrestrial life exists somewhere in the universe. Poll after poll demonstrates that most people share this belief. But, if intelligent extraterrestrials are out there, should humans attempt to contact them?

This question was recently posed to 1,000 adults in the United States as part of a YouGov/Huffington Post survey conducted July 17-19, 2014.

Those polled were first asked, “Do you think there is intelligent life on other planets, or not?” Fifty percent responded “Yes” while nineteen percent responded “No.” Thirty-one percent were “Not sure.”

Participants were then asked, “Do you think it would be possible for humans to make contact with intelligent life on other planets, or not?” Forty-six percent of those polled indicated that they are optimistic about our ability to contact aliens. Twenty-three percent don’t believe it’s possible, while thirty-one percent are not sure.

Although the majority of the individuals polled believe that communication with extraterrestrials is feasible, the poll reveals that many have qualms about attempting contact with unknown civilizations. The poll asked, “Do you think it is a good idea or a bad idea for scientists to try to make contact with intelligent life on other planets?” Only thirty-seven percent of those polled feel that attempting contact is a “Good idea,” while twenty-seven percent think contact is a “Bad idea.” Thirty-six percent were unsure.

Some of the poll’s data might be flawed, however, because when those who oppose attempting contact were asked, “Which comes closest to your opinion on why it’s a bad idea for scientists to try to make contact with intelligent life on other planets?,” seventy-three percent selected the response, “Thinks trying to make contact is a good idea or isn’t sure.” If this question was truly only posed to those who already indicated that they think attempting contact with extraterrestrials is a bad idea, then why would “Thinks trying to make contact is a good idea” be a response option to the question? The answer is unclear. But other respondents felt that attempting contact with extraterrestrials isn’t worth the expense, even if it does work. Others noted a fear of alerting malevolent aliens to our presence as a reason for not attempting to contact alien civilizations.

Why the French state has a team of UFO hunters

By Chris Bockman Toulouse, France

Thousands of UFO sightings are reported every year but not many countries are willing to spend money investigating them - there is just one dedicated state-run team left in Europe.
Is France onto something?

You don't need a time machine when you visit the French Space Centre headquarters in Toulouse - it's already a throwback to the 1970s. Green lawns sweep on to wide boulevards with stout long rectangular office blocks on either side.

It's almost Soviet-style in the heart of southern France. There are few signs of life even though 1,500 people, most of them civil servants, work in boxy offices along narrow unappealing corridors.

France has the biggest space agency in Europe - the result of the 1960s space race and President Charles de Gaulle's grand determination to keep France independent of the US by building its own satellites, rocket launchers and providing elite space research.

An offshoot of all that - France is the only country in Europe to maintain a full-time state-run UFO (unidentified flying objects) department. There used to be one in the UK and another in Denmark but they closed down years ago due to budget cuts.

France's UFO unit consists of four staff, and about a dozen volunteers who get their expenses paid to go on site and look into reports of strange sightings in the skies.

A drawing from the files at the French UFO department

The team is called Geipan. That's a French acronym for Study Group and
Information on Non-Identified Aerospace Phenomenon.

Its boss is Xavier Passot. Surrounded by dozens of books on UFOs, and stacks
of documents, he tells me his mission is to be as transparent as possible about
strange sightings and to follow up on each one that his team receives.

They publish their results on their website which gets 30,000 hits a month. The team receives, on average, two UFO sightings a day. The department insists an 11-page form is filled out for each one. The idea is to provide details including photographs where possible but also weed out jokers and time-wasters.

If someone claims to have seen strange lights in the skies, the UFO team might go online to see whether the observation took place on a flight path - it can trace commercial air traffic going back more than a week.

The team also has access to military flight paths and is in touch with the air force and air traffic controllers.

Sometimes if its staff are really intrigued by photos they have seen or if there have been several witnesses to the same sighting, they will call the local police to ask whether they can be considered credible.

They might even check with neighbours to see whether they were out drinking that night or perhaps smoking something other than cigarettes.

Passot says many of the people who get in touch are smokers, puffing away outside bars or their own homes at night, gazing at the stars.

One of the boxy offices houses yellowing archives going back to the 1950s.
The papers I look at contain eerie accounts of strange things encountered in the skies by fighter pilots on routine reconnaissance missions.

For what it's worth and for those who suspect there's conspiracy afoot, Passot tells me he has never covered up a UFO sighting.

I take a look at some amazing photos of strange lights and circular forms caught on camera. One, taken by a motorist, of a white ring shape above Marseille is particularly grabbing (the image at the top of this page). But the team figured that one out - it wasn't invaders from Mars, just the reflection of a small interior overhead light in the car.

In fact, the department can explain away nearly all these phenomena and, believe it or not, the most common culprits are Chinese lanterns sent up at night during parties. The investigators often telephone the local town hall to ask if, perhaps, there had been a wedding going on at the time.

Balloons and kites floating in the skies also get mistaken for alien craft, and space debris and falling meteorites giving off strange lights are more common than one might think.

More from the Magazine

Sixty years ago a football match ground to a halt when unidentified flying objects were spotted above a stadium in Florence. Did aliens come to earth? If not, what were they?

The day UFOs stopped play

But there are around 400 UFO sightings going back to the 1970s that the French team cannot explain. One, an alleged flying saucer landing near Aix-en-Provence in 1981, they take very seriously - there were landing marks and multiple witnesses.

So are there really little green men? Well, the jury's out on the colour but there are many working here, as well as others around the world, who are convinced there is some life out there.

And does the use of French taxpayers' money on UFO research make sense, particularly in these times of budgetary constraint?

That probably depends on whether you just saw an alien and, in the words of those Ghostbusters, who you gonna call?

Hebben buitenaardsen iets  te maken met de Nederlandse Hortensia's ( Video)

Al bijna tien jaar lang doet er zich een vreemd verschijnsel voor in ons land met betrekking tot een bepaalde plant, de hortensia.

Overal worden ze op onverklaarbare wijze gesnoeid en niemand weet wie het doet en waarom.

We werden hierop opmerkzaam gemaakt door een lezer (dank!):

Ieder jaar rond deze tijd worden in onze tuin de vele hortensia planten op onverklaarbare manier "gesnoeid". De nieuwe scheuten waar volgend jaar de bloemen aan komen zijn zo te zien met een vlijm scherp mes afgesneden.

We werden weer opmerkzaam gemaakt door een bericht in onze regionale krant De Noordoostpolder. Hierin werd melding gemaakt door iemand uit een ander dorp die erg boos was en aangifte heeft gedaan van diefstal bij de politie.

De vraag is echter : heeft wel iemand dit gedaan ??? of is er iets anders aan hand ? In ons hele dorp zijn alle planten gesnoeid, zelfs in een ommuurde tuin waar de deur op slot zit.

Hetzelfde verhaal hoor ik ook van mijn familie uit Friesland. Vorig jaar heeft Omroep Friesland hier aandacht aanbesteed maar kwam niet met een verklaring. 

Mijn vraag is, heeft Niburu van dit gebeuren meer meldingen ontvangen ? Je zou haast denken dat het iets buitenaards is, omdat het al jaren gaande is en er nog nooit iemand voor aangehouden is.

Het klopt inderdaad dat dit een verschijnsel is wat zich al jarenlang voordoet zoals ook te zien in de volgende korte reportage van RTV Drenthe uit 2011.

Er zijn ook al de nodige artikelen verschenen over dit onderwerp waar men eigenlijk ook geen steek verder komt richting oplossing, zoals de volgende:

De knoppendieven slaan weer toe: de afgelopen weken ontdekten inwoners van Harskamp, Windesheim en Raalte dat hun hortensia’s ‘s nachts gesnoeid waren. De verdenking wijst telkens in dezelfde richting: de knoppen worden gebruikt als goedkope drug. Maar er is nog nooit een dief betrapt. Hortensiaknoppenroof: een Hollands mysterie, in een land dat te klein is voor Bigfoot en een monster als dat van Loch Ness. 

Het verhaal dat de hortensia's gesnoeid zouden worden omdat er een stofje in zou zitten dat hallucinerend werkt, vergelijkbaar met THC in cannabis, is afkomstig uit Noord Frankrijk en een verhaal in de Engelse Guardian.

Volgens de politie zijn er in de afgelopen weken al tientallen hortensia's uit de Franse tuinen weggegapt. Niet alleen de bollen, ook de bladeren zijn doelwit van de struikrovers.  Gedroogd zou hortensia prima te roken zijn met wat tabak. Door de hallucinerende werking is het een goedkoop alternatief voor marihuana.

Ook aan dit verhaal kleven weer de nodige bezwaren want zoals in een ander artikel staat:

Als verklaring is vraat door woelmuizen, herten en andere dieren geopperd, maar het populairst blijft het idee dat de gedroogde knoppen een goedkope drug zijn. Volgens het Trimbosinstituut bevat echter alleen een in Nederland zeldzame Aziatische hortensiasoort de gewenste psychoactieve stoffen, en verkopers of gebruikers van het spul zijn even onzichtbaar als de vermeende dieven.

Het mysterie is dus allesbehalve opgelost en er is zelfs een speciale Facebook pagina opgezet om te proberen dit geheim te ontrafelen.

Het is zoals de lezer zegt in een tweede e-mail:

Het is toch onbegrijpelijk, in zo'n korte tijd, op zoveel plaatsen daar heb je een leger aan mensen voor nodig, kan niet! Wat is hier aan de hand ?

De feiten op een rij:

Al tien jaar lang worden overal in ons land op onverklaarbare wijze hortensia's gesnoeid.

In die tien jaar heeft nog nooit iemand gezien wie of wat dit doet en dus is er ook nog nooit iemand aangehouden.

Het snoeien vindt zelfs plaats in volledig afgesloten of ommuurde tuinen en er zijn geen sporen van inbraak of iets dergelijks.

In ieder geval voor ons land kunnen we het drugsverhaal uitsluiten omdat het bepaalde stofje slechts in zeldzame varianten van de plant voorkomt en er is bovendien niets bekend over verkopers of kopers.

De gedachte dat het dan misschien te maken zou kunnen hebben met buitenaardsen is dan ook niet zo vreemd. Wanneer er geen sprake lijkt te zijn van enige menselijke betrokkenheid dan moet het ergens anders vandaan komen want al die hortensia's worden wel degelijk gesnoeid.

Wie weet zit er in de plant wel degelijk een stof die voor een bepaald buitenaards ras belangrijk is. We weten dat iedere dag én nacht het halve Nederlandse luchtruim vol is met kleine witte/oranje UFO's/orbs. Zijn dit misschien de “snoeimachines” die de plant oogsten en naar het moederschip brengen?

Misschien een vergezochte theorie, maar anderzijds heeft nog niemand in die afgelopen tien jaar een andere zinnige verklaring kunnen bedenken.

Eventuele (andere) suggesties om dit mysterie op te lossen, zijn van harte welkom.

UFO gesignaleerd vooraleer NASA raket crashte..

Vorige week verongelukte de NASA/Antares raket enkele seconden na de lancering.

Werd hij uit de lucht gehaald door de UFO's die enkele uren voor de lancering naast de lanceerinstallatie werden gesignaleerd?

En zo hangt de wereld weer van toevalligheden aan elkaar.

Naar aanleiding van ons artikel gisteren waarin Nancy Lieder aangaf dat de neergestorte raket niet per ongeluk is geëxplodeerd, ontvingen wij een bericht van een lezer (dank!) dat er voor de lancering UFO's zijn gesignaleerd.

De volgende foto is een door NASA gemaakte opname enkele uren voor de lancering van de Antares raket.

Daarop zie je rechts van de lanceerinstallatie twee “strengen” UFO's. 

Wanneer je het beeld iets verder vergroot dan is het volgende te zien. 

Dit soort UFO formaties lijkt veel op de volgende. Een opname uit 2001 en gemaakt door NASA astronauten tijdens een missie met de Space Shuttle. 

Ook bij het ISS ruimtestation zijn dit soort formaties waargenomen. 

Een exploderende NASA raket, UFO's die worden waargenomen vlak voor de lancering en Nancy Lieder die zegt dat deze raket niet zomaar is ontploft, maar is neergehaald als waarschuwing voor de elite.

Allemaal toeval?
