Thousands of Airline Pilots Witness UFOs

The universe is full of mysteries that challenge our current knowledge. In "Beyond Science" Epoch Times collects stories about these strange phenomena to stimulate the imagination and open up previously undreamed of possibilities. Are they true? You decide.

WASHINGTON—Airline pilots see unidentified flying objects but very few report it because of ridicule.

According to the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena, (NARCAP) there have been over 3,500 documented sightings of “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena” by military, commercial, and civilian pilots. But Captain Jim Courant, a commercial pilot for over 31 years, says there are many more sightings that are just not reported. 

“It is almost astounding how many people are in the know on this subject,” he said, speaking before the Citizens Hearing on Disclosure at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. on May 3. 

Courant has been researching and studying the phenomena of UFOs for years. He has collected over 3,000 books on UFOs and extraterrestrials, and hosted a television series on the issue titled “New Perspectives” which ran for three years.

He still flies for a commercial airline and because of his exposure on television has became known as an authority on UFO’s and extraterrestrial encounters.He has been contacted, and still is, by many commercial airline and military pilots who are happy to discuss their UFO’s encounters privately but do not want to talk publicly, fearing ridicule and in some cases retaliation. 

“They are afraid,” not so much about their status or their retirement benefits, but “they are more afraid for their families,” he said.

He described the experience of one pilot who was flying a 747 over the Pacific in 1980, when he came across a UFO in front of him.

“You won’t believe what we saw,” the pilot had said, according to Courant. “This thing was bigger than a 747.”

Courant said the pilot told him that when he got to his destination in Japan, he “was debriefed and told never to talk about it again.”

Courant told the hearing about his own encounter with a UFO. In 1995, he was flying near Albuquerque, New Mexico, when he and his co-pilot saw a blue green oval shape approaching from the left. “In a flash of burning white light, the object suddenly shot up at a 45 degree angle,” he told the hearing.

Four other pilots reported to the air traffic control tower that they had also seen the object. 

“One pilot said it must have been a meteor,” Courant recounted, adding, “I got on and said ‘Since when does a meteor go back up?'” 

When asked about his co-pilot’s reaction in a telephone conversation following the Disclosure hearing, Courant said, “He refused to discuss it and has never flown with me again.”

Courant said pilots have reported seeing a variety of craft that appear suddenly and move at speeds impossible with present technology. Reports include cigar-shaped craft, triangular craft, and some that are the size of an aircraft carrier or larger. 

He says airline pilots are “very serious in their profession” and not likely to make exaggerations. 

The website NARCAP, co-founded in 1999 by Dr. Richard F. Haines, a recognized specialist in UFOs and a former Chief Scientist at NASA’s Ames Research Center, has been effective at documenting sightings, but Courant says more needs to be done.

UFO sightings are only “the tip of the iceberg” in terms of what has been experienced and what is known about extraterrestrials, he said.

“There are certain things I have been privy to, but I can’t get into that here,” he told the hearing. 

Courant said it was time for the United States government to come clean with what its agencies have documented and learned through decades of extraterrestrial encounters.

Airline pilots know what they have seen, he said, and should be able to talk about it without fear of ridicule.

Triangular UFO Spotted Near The Volcano Colima, Mexico – March 2015

(Before It's News)

On January 29, 2015 a UFO that resembled a flying horse has been captured on webcam close to one of Mexico’s most active volcanoes, the volcano Colima – situated between the western Mexican states of Colima and Jalisco.

Again, the webcam captured several UFOs next to the volcano on February 23 and 24 and on March 02 and 04, 2015 discovered by a UFO enthusiast.

He stated: “I check the webcam photos of El Volcano de Colima (Colima, Mexico) daily. Today I discovered this triangular shaped UFO hovering beside the volcano.” MUFON case 63740.

 

The other photos are of different sightings on different days.

Mushroom Cloud Imaged By India’s Mars Orbiter Confirms Huge Explosion On Mars Last Year (Video)

(Before It's News)

India’s Mars Orbiter captured something strange in the gigantic Valles Marineris Canyon of Mars. The image shows a huge mushroom cloud and we may wonder whether it is an enormous rare dust wind cloud, or caused due to a (nuclear or methane) explosion.

Let’s see if something has happened on Mars in the period between September 1, 2014 till present day (February 6, 2015.)

ISRO launched the Mars Orbiter on November 5, 2013. After leaving earth, the
orbiter will have to endure the interplanetary space for 300 days before Mars capture, which means the Mars orbiter arrived around September 1, 2014.

The close passage of Comet Siding Spring to the planet Mars occurred on October 19, 2014.

Directly after its passage, a huge explosion was detected on Mars.

At the moment of the close passage of comet Siding Spring to the planet, NASA cut off the live feed, but Dr.Fritz Helmut Hemmerich was able to make a video from 1200-meters at Tenerife in the Canary Islands showing comet Siding Spring immediately after its Mars encounter and a huge explosion.

Despite NASA cut the live feed in order to hide what was going on during the passage of the comet last year, the image published on ISRA’s website probably gives the answer.
   

Although we cannot really prove it, we may assume that ISRO’s image of the mushroom cloud confirms that the huge explosion was the result of an enormous impact on mars caused by a chunk of rock coming from comet Siding Spring or its tail.

The image can be found on the website of ISRO. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is the space agency of the Indian government. It is among the largest government space agencies in the world.

Have We Been visited By Aliens Five Thousand Years Ago

(Before It's News)

Have We Been visited By Aliens Five Thousand Years Ago

In the previous article, we explored the possibility of a catastrophic event that led to worldwide floods. However, a factor in considering the hypothesis of a global flood is the common occurrence of this event in the legends of multiple cultures.

If anything, this goes to prove that myths are sometimes based on real events and though stories might morph trough time, they tend to preserve at least one grain of truth. The same myths that tell of cataclysmic tides also share another common element, in the form of what we usually call divine intervention.

Five thousand years ago, the coasts of England were severely flooded. Analysis of tree rings indicates that the atmosphere held massive amounts of dust and ash. Ice cores from Greenland support this theory. Around the same time, we see a change in religious beliefs as worship shifts toward a bearded sky-god.

One of the chief Sumerian deities is Ea or Enki. He was considered the Lord of the World and regarded as the civilizer of mankind. Early myths describe him as a tall, white bearded man, dressed in long white garments. His association with the flood varies, in some instances he causes it but other times he plays the role of a rescuer. The Egyptians referred to him as Osiris and as legend goes, he left Egypt to visit other lands.

Tribes from North America have similar legends. They tell of the visit of a great civilizer that taught them everything they know. He was regarded as a prophet and healer and oftentimes played the role of a savior when the floods came. The Mandan Indians said his clothes were made of white wolf skins and the Ojibwe called him The Great White Hare due to his appearance.

The same civilizer hero appears in the legends of Central American cultures. The Mayans called him Kukulcan and the Aztecs knew him as Quetzalcoatl – The Feathered Serpent. An interesting fact is that other cultures associate the serpent with the founding hero – Osiris in Egypt and Lebe of the Dogon tribe in West Africa.

Fits the profile.

The Columbian Muiscas feature a character called Bochica, a man with fair skin, a long beard and dressed in a long flowing robe. He showed them new hunting techniques and introduced them to agriculture and house-building.

The last great Peruvian civilization, the Incas also inherited this legend from other cultures. According to them, Viracocha destroyed a race of giants he had created with a flood. He later created man in his own size. Other accounts place Viracocha as the creative divinity in a time of darkness, giving life to man.

Cultures in the Philippines and Indonesia have similar legends and these islands saw a wave of settlers around the same time, some five thousand years ago. They carried with them legends of a great flood. The same can be said about Aboriginal tribes in Australia. Their legends tell about The Dreamtime, a period of creation during which a sky-god called Baiame gave them their laws of life. His appearance is similar to the descriptions above and after teaching them everything they know he returned to the sky.

When Captain Cook reached the Hawaii islands in the 18th Century, the natives welcomed him as Lono, the “god with white bark cloth”.

If these myths are to be given credence, something extraordinary must have happened five millennia ago. They point to the visit of one or more extraterrestrial beings traveling the globe and teaching humans agriculture and crafts. This visit happened in a time of great strife and naturally, the visitors were oftentimes seen as the source of the disasters. The childish and egocentric nature of humans led them to believe that they were being punished for their actions.

The bearded sky-gods had an enormous impact on early human cultures and ushered in a new age.

The striking similarities between myths from all over the globe raises a legitimate question. Was the Earth visited five thousand ago by advanced beings with good intentions? Believe what you will

The witness was first alerted to the UFO by strong winds about 10:03 p.m. on February 28, 2015. Pictured: Bay, Yorke Pensiula, SA. (Credit: Google)

An Australian witness at Hardwicke Bay, Yorke Peninsula, SA, reported watching a disc-shaped, hovering object emitting a beam of light that terrified her, according to testimony in Case 63641 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was visiting her grandparent’s farm and talking on the telephone when the object was first seen about 10:03 p.m. on February 28, 2015.

“I looked up at the trees because I could hear the wind becoming stronger,” the witness stated. “Then I looked at my phone again because it vibrated and then I heard like a swoosh – like a whirly wind was happening. I looked up and an object was hovering over the trees.”

The witness described the object.

“It had yellow and orange lights around it shaped in a disc form. Then a beam of a light blue and white came down. Not all the way – just a little bit around 70-80cm from under the object off the ground, and it kept hovering.”

The object had yellow and orange lights around it and was shaped like a disc. Pictured: Bay, Yorke Pensiula, SA. (Credit: Google)

The witness ended her phone call and began screaming.

“I had no idea what it was going doing to me because I had no idea what it was. I didn’t know if something was gonna jump out or if the object was going to move towards me and make the beam of light – which was located underneath the object – shine upon me. I was thinking of the documentary that I saw on the TV not long ago where the object’s beam of light shined upon these people and they were nowhere to be seen.”

The witness continued to watch the object.

“The light from underneath faded and it moved slowly east. I ran inside and got all the adults and I said, ‘Come quickly – there is something in the sky that is moving away from where it was directly in front of me while I was talking on the phone.’”

The adults moved outside the house.

“When we got out – there it was moving very slowly away from where I was standing. As we were watching it we were trying to decide what is was by the lights and shape and the movement. Then as I said ‘UFO’ its lights just all switched off now and it’s nowhere to been seen.”

The witness remains upset over the incident.

2015 International Ufo Congress Was A Success

(Before It's News)

2015 INTERNATIONAL UFO CONGRESS WAS A SUCCESS

The 2015 International UFO Congress was the largest ever! The below video highlights some of the great speakers and events that made that happen.  The Guinness Book of Records holder of the largest annual conference on UFOs and ET life in the world, The International UFO Congress,  returned to Arizona on February 18, 2015. Hosted by Open Minds Production, Bob Lazar did the Q & A session. Lazar became famous when he put Area 51 on the map, claiming that he had worked there for reverse-engineering alien technology. Authors, researchers and television personalities spoke in panel presentations on topics about mass alien abductions, UFO secrets and UFO whistleblowers. The audience interacted with speakers and asked related questions.  Co-organizer Maureen Elsberry said that the conference has been the ideal place where people can explore UFO and ET subjects in a serious light.  She said that they are not asking the public to believe every speaker, but they’re asking you to keep an open mind.  Ben Hansen, the lead investigator of SyFy’s paranormal show presented the free Night Vision skywatch and it was held on February 20.

 Is This Nearly Pure Aluminium Artifact 300 Million Years Old?

(Before It's News)

While lighting a fire, a resident of Vladivostok found a rail-shaped piece of metal that was pressed into a piece of coal. The resident took it to scientists of the Primorye region, where after being studied by leading experts was found to be 300 million years old. The scientists said that it was not created by nature, suggesting it was manufactured by someone.

• Finding strange artifacts in coal is not as uncommon as you may think.

In 1851, workers in a Massachusetts mine extracted a zinc silver encrusted vase, which was dated at 500 million years old.

In 1912, American scientists from Oklahoma found an iron pot that was dated at 312 million years old.

In 1974, an aluminum assembly part of a hammer or a support leg of an aircraft was found in a sandstone quarry in Romania. It it has been dated back at least 20,000 years old.

These discoveries are just a few of the many finds over the years.

The metal object was delivered to Primorye from the Chernogorodskiy mines of the Khakassia region. The coal deposits of this region date back 300 million years, so Russian experts believe the object must be of the same age.

Here is a video on 6 unexplained historical artifacts:

When the metal object was removed from all of its coal by geologists, it was found to be unusually light and soft. It consisted of 98 percent aluminum and 2 percent magnesium, and was 2.75 inches long.

Because it is nearly pure aluminum, and pure aluminum is very rarely found in nature, the scientist believe that it was created artificially.

Here is a video about the aluminum artifact:

On the other hand, however, when it became clear that the object was made from an aluminum-magnesium alloy, the experts quickly found an answer to the question of how a metal detail could withstand the ravages of time so well. The scientists explained that pure aluminum is prone to oxidization, which contributes to the creation of a special layer protecting it from further corrosion. As a result, the metal detail made 98 percent from aluminum can endure not only high pressur,e but also heat and other severe natural conditions, answering the question how the metal could withstand the ravages of time so well, reported The Voice Of Russia.

This a video of the world’s 10 strangest out-of-place artifacts:

The article went on to say, another question that interests Russian scientists is whether the aluminum alloy is of Earthly origin. It is known from the study of meteorites that there exists extra-terrestrial aluminum-26, which subsequently breaks down to magnesium-26. The presence of 2 percent magnesium in the alloy might well point to an alien origin of the aluminum detail. Nonetheless, further testing is needed to confirm this hypothesis.

There are many things we have found throughout the years, and many mainstream media do not report on them. I’m not sure why, but it’s not hard to research. Just be careful of all the fake stories.

Indiana Jones-Style Expedition Uncovers Lost City in Honduras    

(Before It's News)

Deep in the Honduran rainforest lies a city that has been untouched for hundreds of years. A civilization that can’t be tied to any known civilizations ever discovered. A place that myth and lore have named the “City of the Monkey God.” It took a black ops style helicopter operation to access the city and what they found might blow your mind.

Archaeologists had surveyed and mapped the area last year from the air. They uncovered what looked to be large mounds, ruins, plazas, and what looked to be a pyramid.

The ruins belong to a civilization that occupied this remote area of Central America over 1,000 years ago, and then vanished without a trace. For the first time last Wednesday, the team was able to visit the site where they discovered stone sculptures and an array of jungle animals that likely hadn’t seen humans in hundreds of years.

Colorado State University archeologist Christopher Fisher said that the in tact condition of the site was “incredibly rare.” He went on to note that: “The undisturbed context is unique.” It is this pristine condition of the site that has led experts to believe it has gone undiscovered for hundreds of years.

Archeologists found 52 artifacts including stone seats, as well as carved vessels decorated with snakes, vultures, and other animals.

The team documented the objects they saw at the site, but have left them unexcavated at this point.

• To protect the integrity of the site, the exact location is being kept a secret.

The legend of the city has grown for hundred of years. Explorers have been told of a lost jungle city deep in the rainforest where indigenous people spoke of a “white house” or a “white city” in which the natives took refuge from Spanish conquerors. It was spoken of as a mythical paradise where nobody ever returned from. Legend also spoke of the site as the “City of the Monkey God,” a place where a large pyramid was built with a monkey figure on the top.

The valley where the site is located has some of the densest forest on the entire continent. Mark Plotkin, the team’s ethnobiologist, who has 30 years experience in Amazonia, calls it: “Clearly the most undisturbed rainforest in Central America.”

Plotkin also said the lost city’s importance “Can’t be overestimated.”

Drones blijven Parijs teisteren - HLN.be

Bron: Belga 

© afp.

Boven Parijs zijn opnieuw mysterieuze vluchten van drones opgemerkt. De politie kreeg vorige nacht zo'n tiental meldingen, en meerdere worden als geloofwaardig ingeschaald. Voorlopig zijn nog geen arrestaties verricht wegens de verboden vluchten. Naar verluidt heeft zich wel een getuige gemeld, die gezien zou hebben hoe vier mannen in het oosten van de Franse hoofdstad een drone lieten opstijgen.

Sinds begin oktober werden meer dan 60 dronevluchten boven Franse nucleaire installaties en Parijs geregistreerd, zegt minister van Binnenlandse Zaken Bernard Cazeneuve. De Franse regering heeft alvast maatregelen genomen om het fenomeen in te dijken. Zo zullen kopers van de kleine onbemande vliegtuigjes erover worden geïnformeerd, dat zij zich strafbaar kunnen maken. Het overvliegen van kerncentrales en ook de Franse hoofdstad is immers verboden.

Drones werden de voorbije maanden boven Parijs gespot aan onder meer de Eiffeltoren, het Elysée, de Amerikaanse ambassade, de Place de la Bastille en de Place de la Concorde. Het is niet duidelijk of privé-eigenaars gewoon hun nieuwe speelgoed willen uitproberen of dat er criminele motieven in het spel zijn.

Asteroid firestorm didn't kill the dinosaurs

An asteroid if believed to have wiped out the dinosaurs. Image Credit: NASA/Don Davis      

Scientists believe that a long winter, not an inferno, was most likely to blame for their extinction.

While there is little doubt that the massive asteroid that plowed in to our planet at the end of the Cretaceous era was the primary contributing factor in the disappearance of the dinosaurs, the exact mechanism through which the space rock brought about their demise continues to remain a matter of some debate.

Conventional theories depict a planet bathed in a widespread inferno hot enough to ignite vegetation and wipe out most of the Earth's inhabitants within a short space of time.

Dr Claire Belcher and her team at Exeter University however have a different theory.

By analyzing the effects of a heat furnace on living and non-living plant materials the scientists were able to determine that the asteroid impact would not have been hot enough to have caused such a widespread conflagration and that it is a lot more likely that the dinosaurs were instead wiped out over an extended period of time in the bitter winter conditions that inevitably followed.

"We’re not saying that an asteroid didn’t wipe out the dinosaurs, only that it probably didn’t cause the global firestorms that many people assumed had happened as a result of the impact," she said.

"This flips our understanding of the effects of the impact on its head and means that palaeontologists may need to look for new clues from fossils found a long way from the impact to better understand the mass extinction."

Raw Video: UFO Shows Up at Norway Observatory

   March 5, 2015 - Radar and cameras at the Hessdalen Interactive Observatory, Norway have tracked and filmed numerous un-explainable phenomena – strange balls of light hovering over Norway, the fastest one recorded at 30,000 km per hour. The ‘Hessdalen phenomena‘, has baffled scientists for years. Watch the below video between 48:36 to 51:37 for yourself and witness the unexplained.

NOTE: The first UFO you see is not the one that showed up for the scientists and students in September 2007, it comes shortly after that.

I think it’s pretty obvious to everyone who has searched a bit more than what the media tells you, that we are not alone and there is more proof than needed. i just keep wondering if i’ll be able to experience disclosure this lifetime or not. so tired of these dumb cover ups.

Can you shed light on these UFOs? Investigators release classic pictures of flying saucers that cannot be explained

• By Sam Webb

Investigators have compiled UFO photos online in an attempt to probe the mysteries of the sky

VIEW GALLERY

While the vast majority of UFO sightings are debunked as man-made objects, lens flares, and even simple motes of dust, there remain some otherworldly sightings that leave even impartial investigators scratching their heads.

In order to shed light on mysteries that have gripped the public’s imagination for decades, a team of investigators has compiled a number of images of inexplicable orbs of light and metallic objects seen in skies across the planet.

Aerial Phenomenons Investigation (API) is a worldwide UFO investigation team that probes unidentified aerial phenomena, known as UAPs or UFOs.

A statement on their website reads: "After excluding incorrect reports, it is acknowledged that at least 5% of reported UFO sightings remain unexplained, and as such can be classified as unidentified in the strictest sense.

He said: "Around 80% of UFO sightings could be explained as misidentifications of something ordinary, such as aircraft lights, satellites, airships, weather balloons or planets.

"In around 15% of cases there was insufficient information to draw any firm conclusions.

"Approximately 5% of sightings seemed to defy conventional explanation."

Mars geraakte oceaan aan water kwijt - HLN.be

Bron: Belga 

© afp.

Op de planeet Mars was er ooit een primitieve oceaan die meer water bevatte dan de Noordelijke IJszee en die een groter deel van het planeetoppervlak besloeg dan de Atlantische Oceaan op Aarde. Dat heeft de Europese Zuidelijke Sterrenwacht ESO vandaag bekendgemaakt op basis van metingen met haar Very Large Telescope, instrumenten van de W.M. Keck-sterrenwacht en NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility. Die zijn verspreid over een periode van zes jaar door een internationaal team van wetenschappers gemaakt.

Bij het onderzoek is de atmosfeer van Mars doorgelicht en zijn de eigenschappen van het water in verschillende delen van de planeetatmosfeer in kaart gebracht. De nieuwe kaarten zijn de eerste in hun soort.

Tot 1,6 kilometer diep
Ongeveer vier miljard jaar geleden zou de jonge planeet Mars nat genoeg zijn geweest om haar volledig oppervlak met een 140 meter dikke laag water te bedekken. Maar het is waarschijnlijker dat het water zich in de laagst gelegen gebieden verzamelde en een oceaan vormde die bijna het halve noordelijke halfrond van Mars bestreek. Plaatselijk kan het water meer dan 1,6 kilometer diep zijn geweest, aldus de ESO, parallel lopend met een publicatie online in het wetenschappelijke tijdschrift Science.

Halfzwaar water
De nieuwe schatting is gebaseerd op gedetailleerde waarnemingen van twee enigszins verschillende vormen van water in de Marsatmosfeer. De eerste is de van de aardse oceanen bekende vorm, die uit twee waterstofatomen en één zuurstofatoom bestaat: H2O. De tweede is HDO oftewel halfzwaar water, een natuurlijke variant waarin één van de waterstofatomen is vervangen door de zwaardere soortgenoot deuterium.

Omdat halfzwaar water zwaarder is dan normaal water, ontsnapt het na verdamping minder gemakkelijk de ruimte in. Dus hoe meer water een planeet verliest, des te groter wordt de HDO/H2O-verhouding van het resterende water, legt de ESO uit.

Opgeslagen in ondergrond
Als Mars zoveel water is kwijtgeraakt, is de planeet hoogstwaarschijnlijk veel langer nat geweest dan tot nu toe werd gedacht. Dat zou betekenen dat de planeet ook langer levensvatbaar is, luidt het ook. Het is mogelijk dat Mars ooit nóg meer water heeft gehad, waarvan een deel onder het oppervlak kan zijn opgeslagen.

Airline passenger records UFO video over Liverpool

(Before It's News)

openminds.tv

http://bcove.me/qxucdi86

An airline passenger allegedly recorded video of a UFO through the plane’s window.

The plane and the UFO were reportedly flying over Liverpool, England. The roughly two-minute video shows the mysterious bright UFO in the clouds, flying along the same trajectory as the plane. Although the UFO initially looks like an ordinary aircraft in the distance, it later makes an incredibly sudden descent.

(Credit: Audio World Color/YouTube)

The speed at which the object changes its flight path and descends rules out known aircraft. Some believe the object is simply a bird. But birds generally don’t fly 400 m.p.h. like a commercial airliner.

It’s unclear who shot the video. And it’s also unclear why this video is currently making its rounds in the media (Yahoo!, AOL, etc.), because the video first surfaced back in 2012.

(Credit: Audio Color World/YouTube)

Unfortunately, there are red flags indicating that this video is nothing more than a hoax.

The first indication that the video is a creation is the cameraperson’s lack of response and failure to move the camera at all when the UFO displays its most incredible behavior. But the most damning evidence is the video’s apparent source–the YouTube channel O7TV belonging to a group called Audio World Color.

This channel posts CGI videos of incredible things like dragons, mermaids, and even a landed UFO.

The only real information this channel provides with its videos is, “Video Agency of Audio Color World own all distribution rights of the uploaded videos on our YouTube channel. If you like to use videos for uploads or commercial use please contact ‘info@audiocolorwo­rld.com’,” indicating that this channel is a for-profit venture.

It’s incredibly unfortunate that so many people fill the Internet with fabricated UFO videos. It’s also unfortunate that the media and the general public are so easily fooled by these creations. Genuine aerial objects that cannot be identified do fly in our skies. But rarely do the genuine UFOs receive the attention they deserve. And, perhaps that is partially because photos and videos of the truly mysterious objects are rarely as sexy as the fabrications.

Can Evidence Of Alien Technology Be Found In Egypt?

(Before It's News)

Can Evidence Of Alien Technology Be Found In Egypt?

The history of Egypt is of course a rich one dating back at least 5000 years to the first of the Pharaohs who created what was to be remembered through their works and deeds, especially in stone. Among their most famous achievements are the Great Pyramids of the Giza Plateau and the Sphinx. However, what if evidence strongly suggests that some of these great works were in fact created thousands of years before the dynastic Egyptians, and that the Pharaohs simply inherited and renamed them? Join us on a a journey from the southern most area of Egypt all the way to the Giza Plateau. Along the way many stone structures were examined that appeared to have been at least partially created using advanced technologies that the Pharaohs simply did not have; technologies that in some cases appear superior to our own. Geologists, stone masons, engineers and other professionals were consulted in order to create this work, along with experts on the oral traditions of this extremely ancient land, and the results will surprise you. Clearly there was a civilization before the Pharaohs who had advanced technologies, and these people were called the Khemitians.

Weer UFO in nieuwsuitzending  ( Video )

Wanneer je door de jaren heen de berichtgeving omtrent UFO waarnemingen volgt dan lijkt het alsof ze zich steeds vaker met opzet tonen tijdens televisieuitzendingen.

Dat begon ongeveer bijna twee jaar geleden toen er tijdens een uitzending van RT News prominent een UFO door het beeld vloog.

Dat ging destijds aardig viraal en sindsdien zijn er nog vele meldingen geweest van UFO’s die ongevraagd in televisieuitzendingen opduiken. 

Zo ook vorige week in Argentinië. De argeloze toeschouwers zagen ineens het volgende object in beeld verschijnen. 

In de volgende videoclip is het heel duidelijk te zien. Het is een prachtige opname omdat de UFO dit keer niet al te snel gaat en goed is te volgen.

Ook is de klassieke retro vorm goed te zien.

Wat mensen zich afvragen is hoe het kan dat drie nieuwslezers het nieuws brengen terwijl er een UFO door het scherm vliegt en ze hiervan niets melden.

Dit komt mogelijk doordat het lijkt alsof ze voor een groot raam zitten, maar in werkelijkheid zullen dit waarschijnlijk geprojecteerde beelden zijn, opgenomen door een camera op het dak.

Dan nog had de regie het moeten zien. Die hebben dus zitten slapen óf ze hebben het bewust door laten gaan. De televisiezender zal niet zelf de beelden gemanipuleerd hebben en er met opzet een UFO in hebben gemonteerd, lijkt ons.

Unidentified flying object filmed over Florida 3-Mar-2015

New video of a bright light flying across the night sky above Florida. This was taken on 3rd March 2015.

• Witness report: Recorded on Samsung Galaxy S 4 on March 3, 2015. Unfortunately I didn’t start recording the object until after it already had made remarkably sharp turns and velocity changes. Definitely a UFO.

How Time And Space Clues Point To Who We Are And Where We Are Going

by Brad Olsen,
guest writer for In5D.com

Is it possible that some races have traveled back from the future in order to change the outcome of their physical evolution? If so, can we follow the clues to find out how our future will unfold and how would the present affect the outcome?

• “Give up worrying about the past. Give up dreaming of the future. The past no longer exists. The future has not been born. But deeply observe the present moment, just as it is, and you shall attain the peace and unity of the ancient masters.”
  –Buddha, Bheda Karata Sutta

The concept of spacetime in cosmology is a construct which combines space and time to a single abstract universe. Mathematically it is a manifold consisting of “events” which are described by some type of coordinate system. Typically, the three spatial dimensions of length, width, height, and the temporal dimension of time are required. Time is simply an arbitrary measurement of the motion of objects through space. For us on Earth, time is based on the 365.25 days it takes for the planet to make a complete orbit around the Sun, and the 24 hours it takes the planet to complete a rotation is called a day. Besides the day of 24 hours, or 86,400 seconds, the word “day” can be used for several different spans of time based on the rotation of the Earth around its axis.

Yet space is non-linear. Space is determined by the point of view of an observer when looking at an object. The distance between the observer and the object being viewed is called “space.” Dimensions are independent components of a coordinate grid needed to locate a point in a certain defined space. Objects in space, or even masses of energy, do not necessarily move in a linear fashion. In this universe, objects tend to move randomly or in a curving or cyclical pattern, or as determined by the agreed upon rules in physics. Now physicists have demonstrated the existence of higher dimensions, with hyperspace well grounded in scientific principles.

Today’s theoretical physicists have clearly defined hyperspace, introduced the existence of “wormholes” or tunnels between dimensions, parallel universes, and theoretically have postulated access to both the past and the future. Most of these physicists are searching for ways to access hyperspace by a mechanical, third dimensional means. Stargates or wormholes are cosmic gateways that theoretically link regions of the universe millions of light years apart and allow nearly instantaneous communication or travel between these regions.

HISTORY AND TIME

History is not merely a linear record of events, as many authors of Earth history books imply. Because history is not a string that can be stretched out and marked like a measuring tool, our concept of time needs to be reexamined. History is a subjective observation of the movement of objects through space, recorded from the point of view of a survivor, rather than those who have perished in battle, for example. Although time seems to run consecutively, events do not happen in an independent, linear stream. Rather, all of these interactions are concurrent and simultaneous. In order to view and understand the history or reality of the past, one must view all events as part of an interactive whole, the holographic perspective as described below. Time can also be sensed as a vibration which is uniform throughout the entire physical universe.

Linear time is more accurately described as an intentional fabrication. The true nature of time is cyclical. Time is a difficult factor to measure as it depends on the subjective memory of the observer and there has been no uniform record of events throughout the physical universe since the beginning. As on Earth, there are many different time measurement systems defined by various cultures, which use cycles of motion and points of origin to establish age and duration.

The “paradox” of space travel often references the example of someone traveling back in time and killing his or her grandfather. What would happen? How could this be possible? If the person’s grandfather died, they would have never been born to kill him. What apparently happens in this case is that the timeline the person left (when he began time travel) continues as is, with no changes except that the person no longer exists, thereby generating this new timeline. The person then forfeits his chance to return to his own timeline. When this person killed his grandfather, a new timeline starts, minus his grandfather, and he must then remain in this altered timeline.

TIME TRAVELERS

Fantastic as it sounds, one of the main reasons the Extraterrestrial Biological Entities (EBEs) are here now is to attempt to alter our timelines, that of our future. The reason for this is that they have the ability to time travel in both directions, so they already know, or they know as a memory, what happened here in our future. In Timeline Two there is a catastrophe arising in our near future that drastically reduces the population of the Earth and splits humans into two population groups. These two populations will develop in the classic stages of evolution when a single species becomes isolated from another and the two adapt to different environments. What we know of as Homo sapiens today might develop into two distinctly different species over many thousands of years after a possible catastrophe, which will send many people underground while some will survive on the surface.

If we do have one of these catastrophes, it would mean that the benevolent EBEs did not succeed in altering the timeline. Yet if it does not occur, we can say either the information was false, which skeptics will claim without delay, or we can say they did succeed in a covert program of altering the timelines and averted a major catastrophe. According to the “Doctrine of the Convergent Time Lines,” a certain species of Greys evolved from humans in our future. In other words, the Greys come from our future and they have traveled backwards to our past, which is now our current present. This would explain why the Greys and the Tall Whites have been allowed to operate for decades at Area 51 and other secure bases around the world. It would also suggest that there is no such thing as “evil” aliens, just a priority of service to self rather than a service to others.

Related: Characteristics Of ET Races

Apparently, whatever genetic traits the future EBEs inherited, they are suffering from some kind of defective gene which has caused neural degeneration in their system, or a “peripheral neuropathy.” Some human scientists at Area 51 have worked alongside the Orion ETs they called “J-Rod.” They were given the task of looking into the possibility of genetic reverse engineering to repair the Tall Grey’s degenerate system. The Greys claimed they are an altered form of us, a new species that branched off from Homo sapiens, beginning as manufactured hybrids. These are the same as the Programmable Life Forms (PLFs) which are currently being developed at several secret underground bases right now on Earth.

ANOTHER MOTIVE FOR BEING HERE

These Greys are entities that will continue to evolve in our future, according to the Doctrine of the Convergent Time Lines. They come from many thousands of years in our future and have traveled backwards to our past, in other words, our current present. Eventually the two Homo sapiens sub-species from the future moved to the planets of Zeta Reticuli 1 and 2, Gliese 876-c, and Epsilon Orionis. The Tall Whites are just another branch that has evolved from Homo sapiens, but they follow more of a spiritual evolutionary path. It is as if there are all these threads woven, as we would think of a braid with multiple pieces of hair, each being a timeline. More significant to the near future on Earth is the convergence of both Timelines One and Two:

Timeline One: With the first future scenario, we work out our differences, avert disaster, and evolve quickly as an advanced species.

Timeline Two: Here we create a catastrophe where more than half the humans on Earth will perish. Those who live will seek out a harsh living on the mostly destroyed surface, while other survivors will exist for many generations underground.

The Nordic Blonds and the Greys had independently decided they were going to attempt to change their history because they had learned how to travel backwards in time to some point from our distant past. Again, we’re talking about this fantastic subject of time travel and how it can manipulate our reality. Of course, it is very complicated. A stargate can either be a natural subspace wormhole, or it can be artificially created. A stargate is a portal device that allows practical, rapid travel between two distant locations in the universe, as well as time travel.

A lot of scientists have toyed with these ideas and the many paradoxes it presents. There are stories of those who have found themselves somehow displaced into the past, and/or dropped into the future. This has been something never explored by classical scientists because essentially we are speaking about practical applications of the theory of relativity still thought to be impossible or far into the future: traveling faster than light, through wormholes, stargates, and using a time machine or holographic history device which can access the timeline of future and past events.

By incarnating into human bodies, EBE’s may have traveled from the future to have more influence upon which timeline humanity chooses. Depending on how humanity creates the present based on the choices they make now, the human body may be a super machine or may end up something else entirely different. Awakening to this and making choices based on who you are and what you came here to do in this lifetime will determine the future of humanity as a species.

In fiction, but also in physics, a wormhole is a hypothetical topological feature of spacetime that would be fundamentally a “shortcut” through spacetime. This is a simple visual explanation of a wormhole depicting spacetime visualized as a two-dimensional surface. If this surface is folded along a third dimension, it allows one to picture a wormhole “bridge.” This is supposedly how the Project Serpo team were able to travel many light years away to an inhabited planet in the Zeta Reticuli binary star system.

General relativity describes the possibility of wormholes forming when two black holes become connected to each other. Hypothetically, wormholes could enable almost instantaneous time travel over long distances. The thermodynamics of black holes allows one to deduce limits on the density of entropy in various circumstances. The holographic bound defines how much information can be contained in a specified region of space. Conversely, a white hole is the opposite of a black hole. A white hole, in general relativity, is a hypothetical region of spacetime which cannot be entered from the outside, but from which matter and light may escape. It is theoretically possible for a traveler to enter a rotating black hole, avoid the singularity, and travel into a rotating white hole which allows the traveler to escape into another universe via wormholes.v

We often think of ETs as arriving from a far-away solar system, and some undoubtedly are, but what about the concept of certain Greys originating on Earth, from our future? There are several variously known extraterrestrial races interacting on Earth. One race has orange-grey skin, very big heads and large dark eyes with no irises or whites, and six-fingered hands. This is a still-frame from the famous 1995-released Santilli Alien Autopsy video. During dissection their brains have been found to have four brain lobes, different optic orbs and nerves, and a sponge-like digestive system. These ET brains are more developed and connected, and have no corpus callosum. Could this be an ultra-evolved human from hundreds of thousands of years in our future?

Vintage 'UFO' photos that governments couldn't explain revealed

March 5, 2015 - The US government is still unable to explain around five per cent of UFO sightings in its archives.

Now one team of ‘alien hunters’ has dug up some of the best images to see if the public can shed light on the eerie glows, mysterious orbs and flying objects from the last few decades.

Among them is a remarkable 1957 photo taken by a test pilot near Edwards Air Force Base in California, allegedly showing a UFO following a B-47 jet.

Another, released by the  Aerial Phenomena Group, shows three mysterious lights over the Manhattan skyline taken in 1984. It was taken by Philipe Orego from New Jersey, and researchers could find no sign of a hoax at the time. 

‘A UFO picture tells a thousand lies,’ Nigel Watson author of the UFO Investigations Manual told DailyMail.com

‘The basic problem is that if a UFO photograph is taken in daylight and looks close, clear and sharp, you suspect it is a fake.

‘If it is out-of-focus, distant and hard to define, then it can be a picture of anything in the sky - from an insect, bird to a balloon or drone.

‘The pictures here don’t seem to be faked but each has its own story to tell. With old pictures, blobs or spots can appear due to the way the film is developed or mishandled in the processing stage. ‘ 

Watson said that a good case to illustrate this point is the image of the UFO over Los Angeles.

In February 1942, fears of a Japanese air raid and invasion struck LA. On 23 February, a Japanese submarine allegedly shelled the Elwood Oil Field near Goleto, north of Los Angeles.

In the early hours of 25 February, a fleet of mystery aircraft were seen heading for the city.

Army Chief of Staff General George Marshall reported in a memorandum to President Roosevelt dated 26 February 1942 that as many as 15 airplanes may have been involved.

Although 1430 rounds were expended by the 37th Coast Artillery Brigade’s anti-aircraft guns no aircraft was hit or shot down and no bombs were dropped by the aircraft.

The only conclusion was that commercial aircraft were used by enemy agents to determine the location of anti-aircraft guns and to spread alarm.

‘This invasion scare became the subject of Steven Spielberg’s high-rolling comedy movie ‘1941’ (1979) that shows how fear ensnares people in a web of obsession and conflict fuelled by rumours and the media,’ said Watson.

‘The lasting evidence of the craft was a photograph of a ‘wigwam’ of searchlights converging on an unidentified aircraft over Culver City.’

An analysis by UFO expert Dr Bruce Maccabee suggests that the object caught by the searchlight beams was 100 feet wide.  

Steven Lacey, another UFO believer, using Photoshop cleared up the image to reveal an image of a classic flying saucer.

This made him conclude that this image is ‘a very convincing argument for the presence of alien craft in our skies.’

‘In contrast, aviation historian Brett Holman puts forward a convincing case that the searchlights are converging on a small cloud rather than a UFO or extra-terrestrial battlecruiser,’ said Watson.

‘And, he has found other examples of antiaircraft searchlights illuminating clouds that look like flying saucers.

‘A UFO picture certainly says more than a thousand words, but it still depends on our prejudices and expectations to decide whether it depicts something extraordinary or mundane.’

A number of 'closed' cases were also recently revealed by the US government who opened its files into 12,000 encounters with UFOs spanning between 1947-1969.

Microfilms of these cases, collectively known as Project Blue Book, have become available for anyone to view online.

One of the most famous is the Lubbock Lights incident, which was reported on August 30, 1951 in Texas by three professors. 

The witnesses were sitting in the backyard of one of the professor's homes when they saw 20 to 30 'lights' fly overhead.

One of the professors said the objects 'appeared to be about the size of a dinner plate and they were greenish-blue, slightly fluorescent in colour.

'They were smaller than the full moon at the horizon. There were about a dozen to fifteen of these lights...they were absolutely circular...it gave all of us...an extremely eerie feeling.'

The USAF concluded that these lights were most likely caused by birds named plovers, which have white breasts that can reflect lights from cities below.

Another image, titled simply 'Winter 1951', shows what the photographer believed to be a flying saucer.

However, scientists discovered that the eerie shape was a lenticular cloud which are created by moist air that has condensed at a high altitude.

Barney and Betty Hill: The First Couple of Abduction

(Before It's News)

It was September 1961 and a couple was driving down the roadway in New Hampshire. Betty and Barney Hill were heading home from a vacation when Barney, who was driving, noted a star in the sky that seemed to be moving oddly. The couple watched it as they drove along, contemplating what it was. Finally, they pulled over to see if it was moving erratically as it looked, or they were just imagining it. Barney pulled out his binoculars to look at the “star.”

What he saw was incomprehensible. It appeared to be a craft with windows and multicolored lights. He also saw individuals inside the windows. 

One minute, Barney was looking at the ship that had people piloting it and was truly amazing, and the next, he jumped into the car with his wife and raced down the roadway. 

The last thing they recalled was looking around to find the air ship was gone. Even more unsettling is that only a couple minutes passed, but they were 35 miles down the road!

The next day, still a bit unsettled, Betty Hill told her sister what they saw and she urged her to call the air force base, and she did. Apparently, they confirmed a UFO on radar.

When Betty repeatedly had nightmares of someone pulling her husband into a craft and local investigators noted their time line was missing 2 hours, they had to know what happened.

As the couple dodged curious reporters, they knew they had only one option; to contact a psychiatrist about this missing time issue and to perhaps dispatch nightmares and get their life back into order.

At the suggestion for regression hypnosis, the couple agreed. They both reported bald-headed alien beings that had slanted large eyes and grey skin and pear-shaped heads. They both also reported some kind of gynecological testing and sperm sampling.

Since their case was revealed, other cases were compared with it. They were the first couple that went terribly public with abduction and many skeptics call this a case of others coming forward “conveniently forgetting” encounters that were subconsciously planted by childhood knowledge of this couples' rendition of events. The use of regression hypnosis was commonly used henceforth on people who suspected they had encounters or recalled them only vaguely.

Ironically, when I was an adult, I went in for regression hypnosis to recall events in my childhood and during one session in which I vividly looked around my childhood bedroom and recalled every single detail of wallpaper, bedding, flooring, even the shoes I left on the floor near the door, I looked up and only several feet away, I saw a classic alien grey with two tall slender pale beings on either side of him. He wore a kind of colorful stone on his forehead between his eyes that looked to me, as a kid, as a sign of importance or royalty. There was an exchange of information from him to me. When I left the regression session, even though all the prior ones had been helpful and explicitly detailed, I did not believe in aliens or want to discuss what I saw. Since the hypnotist just told me to look around my room and get oriented, she didn't ask what I was seeing, I did not offer her the alien that I viewed. I did not feel fear, but a sense of comfort, as if he was someone in my life and familiar to me. I stopped all sessions after that and dismissed hypnosis as unreliable. It wasn't until about 15 years later, that I had some very awake, very interactive visits that I recalled completely. I have detailed this in my book, “My Alien Encounters” on Kindle. 

There was nothing about this couple to say that they were hungry for publicity, as they tried to dodge reporters and keep some privacy. They did, however, make everyone wonder in the back of their minds if they had something hidden from their consciousness.

What happened to Barney and Betty Hill told us a few key characteristics to look at when considering potential abduction; missing time, huge distances crossed within minutes, confusion about events, witnessing UFOs, nightmares with abduction themes, strange body markings/injuries and the like.

With the passing of the couple, there is no way to ever truly know what happened to them. It is a matter of belief or disbelief. Discerning people do not dismiss all abduction cases because they refuse to believe in alien abduction, instead they look at each case individually to find what has some credence. It would seem that the Hills had a case that held up over time and scrutiny.

Skywatcher Captured Cigar-Shaped UFO Next to Venus (Video)

(Before It's News)

Newtownards, Great Britain – 02-28-15 – I decided to look at Venus as it was very bright. I have a Pulsar Recon 550 night scope and I am an active observer of the night sky.

I live on a farm and have very little light pollution. I opened the window and looked out and noticed an object beside Venus. I watched the object for a short while and then got my binoculars.

I could not see the object with the binoculars. I rushed and got my recording equipment hooked up to my scope to record the thing. The wind was gusting up to 60mph and heading in a SW direction, directly towards me.

I hung out of my window and filmed it for approx. 4 minutes. It moved slowly from one side of Venus to the other. Clouds passed at about 4 minutes and then the object just vanished. None of this was visible to the naked eye. I did not have my IR illuminator on. Some have suggested it is lens flare.

I have filmed bright objects like Venus, Jupiter and the Moon and not got lens flare before. I was not shooting through a window. It was open and to the right of me. The actual gap I had to film was only 6 inches, so I was unable to move either side much. It was very windy and the wind was blowing in my face quite a bit.

Later when I went to bed, I heard a buzzing sound. I thought it was the wind vibrating off something, but it has never done it before and we are in a very windy location. No one else could hear the buzzing sound. I was still able to hear it even wearing ear plugs.

The following day, I felt very weird and fuzzy in the head. I could not think straight and kept forgetting where I’d put things. I also had an overwhelming urge to debunk what I had witnessed the previous night. I have submitted this video to Mufon.

“Roswell Alien Slides” owner speaks out

(Before It's News)

openminds.tv

There has been a lot of online buzz around photographs that one researcher has called a “smoking gun” when it comes to proof that aliens are visiting Earth. Even though there are many articles, blogs, interviews, and forum posts about the pictures, the public has yet to actually see them. They will be displayed during a special event hosted by Mexican Broadcast Journalist Jaime Maussan in Mexico City on May 5, 2015.

Adam Dew (Credit: Adam Dew)

Among the buzz is speculation about what the pictures show, questions as to why they will be shown in Mexico, and questions as to how the pictures were found in the first place. The pictures are owned by a production company, and the owner of that company, Adam Dew, is creating a documentary about the slides titled Kodachrome. He says the trailer to Kodachrome shows everything they know to this point. However, as questions are answered, more arise.

I caught up with Dew to ask him about some of the outstanding questions and to address some of the speculation out there.

Dew was interviewed as one of the researchers when the May 5 event was announced. The trailer to his documentary was also revealed at that time. However, Dew’s role was not apparent, and the tie between he and the documentary were not either.

I asked Dew about his background and how he got involved with the slides.

Dew says his background is in journalism and video production. He graduated from Northwestern University in 1998 with a degree in journalism. He then went on to cover high school sports. In about 2003/2004 he started his own video production company called Varsity Tape. They shoot recruitment videos for high school athletes. He says he also freelances for CBS Sports, Yahoo!, and USA Today. He also has corporate clients for PR, video shooting and editing.

He got involved with the slides around 2008. They were discovered by his friend’s sister in 1998. She found a box of photographs while she was cleaning out a house to prepare it for an estate sale. Dew says she is a bit of a hoarder and just threw them in her garage. She finally looked at them in 2008.

She found around 400 pictures, some of them were of famous people. The box was coming apart, and she found a couple of slides wrapped up and tucked under the others.

Dew says, “She was able to project them and she thought they were very interesting.”

Dew described what she saw: “When most people see the slides first hand, they think the slides look like what we think, what we have been conditioned to think, an alien would like.”

The woman and her brother brought the slides to Dew since he was in the video business, and Dew and his friend began investigating their origins.

Dew says the pictures were on Kodachrome slides, and are not “perfectly in focus.” He says, “Kodachrome never responded well to poor lighting.”

However, he says he did find them very compelling.

Dew says their first task was to date the slides. He says, “We wanted to date the slides, because we knew people might think they were hoaxed and staged.”

As we have covered in past stories about the slides, the film and its slide cover have been allegedly confirmed to be from the late 40s. To Dew this proves that the film is not doctored.

“That is the first thing people say is that it is a hoax,” says Dew. “Even Neil deGrasse Tyson. When I showed them to Neil deGrasse Tyson, his first response was that these are fake. Well, they are not fake. People in the late 40s were not staging aliens, as far as I can tell. That image of the big head and skinny body didn’t become popular in pop culture until the 60s. So we know that it is not a fake staged alien, as far as I can tell.”

Dew says the slide owners had very interesting backgrounds, lending further credibility to their legitimacy. So, the next step was to have someone look at them who had seen an alien body. This brought them to two of the most respected researchers of the Roswell UFO incident, Don Schmitt and Tom Carey.

Schmitt and Carey were then able to get Dew in touch with a man who claims he had seen alien bodies that were recovered at the alleged UFO crash in Roswell in 1947. Dew says the man wishes to remain anonymous, but his name and his picture are in the yearbook for the Roswell Army Air Field in 1947.

When shown the pictures, the witness says the body in the image did look like the bodies he saw in 1947. Dew says, “He said he saw fresh bodies and our body looks like it has been preserved in some fashion.”

I asked Dew if he was certain that it is an alien in the pictures. He said, “I am not certain. I don’t know how that I would have that certainty. I have not claimed that I have ever seen an alien, and from what I can tell in my research that I have done into this, there are no pictures online of any bodies that hold any weight.”

He continued, “I am like everybody else that first looks at it, that it looks like what I think an alien would look like.”

Another question I asked that has been causing some to scratch their heads is why they would choose to reveal the images and the research on them at a large event in Mexico.

Dew says, “The event is justified in that there is enough there to showcase the slides in this fashion. There is enough interesting material, there is enough supporting material, and there are enough people willing to go on the record.”

He continued, “In my mind, Mexico City, U.S., or wherever, maybe I am being naive, but I think the slides will stand on their own no matter where they are presented. Jaime had this vision for this big event and it sounds exciting to me. It sounds fun and interesting, and it is a big stage. No one in the U.S. would have been able to present a stage like this. In some ways it gives it an international feel.”

Dew says they did shop the project around to Hollywood producers and he was surprised at the high level meetings he was able to obtain. However, in the end, he did not want the photos to be just another part of an existing UFO program, and he did not want to give up control. He says, “This is a way to tell the story my way.”

Dew points out that the event in Mexico City is also the quickest way to get the pictures to the public. If they had gone with a TV show, it would have taken months to produce.

He also admits that money was a concern. He says he turned down a reputable magazine that wanted to cover the story because they were not offering any compensation.

“There was a major respectable U.S. monthly magazine that wanted to publish the slides years ago, but they weren’t offering any money and we wanted to at least find a way to bring some bit of funding into this project. People talk about these substantial packages and I just roll my eyes and laugh about what people think is the kind of money that’s involved in this. This has been a process that has cost me money out of my pocket, and I would certainly like to tell my wife that we at least broke even on this in the worst case scenario,” says Dew.

He realizes not everyone will agree with this decision. He says, “If I made a mistake there, I apologize, but again, it was a matter of us being able to tell the story our way.”

But as of late, Dew is becoming used to people criticizing his approach. He says he has been “surprised by the name calling and anger by some of the people interested in this topic.”

Among the criticism, some aren’t satisfied with the investigation. He says, “People are asking for science, but these are photos. There is only so much science you can get out of photos.”

I also asked Dew about some of the speculation out there. Many believe these photographs, which have now become known as the “Roswell Slides,” are actually depicting a mummy on display. This idea stems from a scene in the trailer for Dew’s documentary.

In the scene, a man is examining one of the slides on a light table. The slide can barely be seen. However, online researchers blew up the image and corrected for the angle and came up with an image that is very distorted and blurred, but much more clear than what has been seen thus far.

This image has been matched up with known mummies of children and many see a similarity. Dew says he looked into this possibility himself, and ruled it out.

Dew says, “To me it is obviously not the same thing, but maybe that’s just me.”

The mummy image that people feel is most similar has a hole in its side. People have pointed out a dark spot on the low resolution blown up slide that they believe confirms it is the same body. However, Dew says, “There is no hole on the side of our body.”

Dew says the speculation does not frustrate him, in fact it inspires him. He says, “In a lot of ways, the way people have reacted to the slides and low-res version that is out there, has reinforced my approach that I want to know as much as I can know before they are put out there for the public.”

Dew says he will continue to research the slides and get more expert opinion, although it has been difficult. He says most scientist see that the body has a head, two arms, and two legs and automatically assume it is human.

Dew says he is “just trying to get people to look at them with an open mind set. If someone with a science background is going to say this, we want to know why.”

“The response has been really good, and the story is interesting, and we are taking a detached fair approach to the story, and I think people’s biggest beef is that we are not operating under someone else’s timetable,” says Dew.

Those with a beef often compare him to Ray Santilli, who hoaxed a famous Roswell alien autopsy video in the 90s. Dew doesn’t think that comparison is fair.

Dew explains, “I get compared to Ray Santilli. Are you comparing this event in Mexico City to a national primetime Fox broadcast? That is an equal comparison in people’s minds? It just boggles me. Especially because the Santilli stuff is fake, and these are real slides.  You can’t fake Kadachrome. You can say what you want about what’s in the image, but the image is real.”

Dew insists that he is not a hoaxer, nor are his friends.

In the end, he says, “The slides clearly have captured people’s attention and people’s interest, and I think it’s just a matter of figuring out what they are.”

Strange Beam of Light Emanates from Power plant Explosion

(Before It's News)

Strange Beam of Light Emanates from Power plant Explosion

Take a look at the following video and tell me you didn’t notice something really strange.

At 1:30 am on February 2, an electrical power plant substation in Escanaba, Michigan exploded. The city is located in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and its 13,000 residents were left without power for several days following the explosion. Fortunately, there were no injuries and power was eventually restored.

This unlucky incident features an intriguing and unexplained aspect: the mysterious beam of light that can be seen shooting straight up as the substation exploded. Or as some would say, shooting straight down. In this case, could it have played a hand in the power station’s demise?

The strange light was witnessed by many of the city’s residents and some of them filmed it and posted the videos on the internet. Despite this, news about the incident only emerged about a week later. People have started wondering why.

The official explanation was that the beam was caused by ice crystals reflecting the light of a passing train. Anyone with common sense would beg to differ.

While there are a lot of videos showing ‘UFOs’ hovering above or near power stations (nuclear power stations in particular), there were no unidentified flying objects seen in the area at the time of the explosion. However, the skies were cloudy and if the beam had indeed been caused by something from above, it wouldn’t have been visible anyway.

Fans of conspiracy theories suspect a HAARP experiment was behind the incident. We don’t know whether the program has the ability to rain down beams of energy but we will open this can of worms on another occasion.

The last possibility that has been forwarded is the most threatening of them all. Two years ago, there was another explosion at the Combat Readiness Training Center in Alpena, MI, 250 miles east of Escanaba. It received no media attention but there were rumors that it had been caused by Spetsnaz, the Russian special forces. Word has it that the Spetsnaz has a secret plot to bring down the United States’ power grid. Unconfirmed, yet a terrible prospect nonetheless.

It still beats the train headlight explanation, though.

What’s your angle on this?

The Government Whispers, UFO’s Are Real! Here’s The Proof

(Before It's News)

Barracuda

Were the so called UFO buffs right all along? Could it be true that we really are actually being visited by UFO’s? I think we have some glimmering Proof here. The information I’m about the share with you may just open up your mind a little , when you read this fascinating story, how back in 1980 what is known as the Rendelsham Forest incident, on an equivalent scale as our Roswell. Find out how a U.S. Air Force veteran who encountered this mega bright UFO sued the Gov., when he says that his ill health condition today, all stems from this 1980 UFO incident, heres the mind blower. The government acknowledges that a UFO may have caused his condition, how do I know? Because the Gov. is $ettling with him on this, say what! I know, crazy right?

Below is the press release,

U.S. Government’s De Facto Acknowledgement of the Existence of UFOs

PHOENIX, AZ — The United States Government has, for the first time ever, acknowledged by de facto the long-suspected reality of the UFO phenomenon.  John Burroughs encountered a craft of unknown origin in England’s Rendlesham Forest in December of 1980 and suffered injury there from for which the Veterans Administration has now recognized by granting him full medical disability. The December 1980 Rendlesham Forest incident in the United Kingdom is arguably the most well documented and important UFO encounter in history.  A UFO was seen over three consecutive nights by United States Air Force personnel stationed at the twin bases of Bentwaters and Woodbridge, near Ipswich, England — then the largest NATO air force bases at the height of the Cold War.

The UFO was tracked on radar and physical evidence was found at a site where the UFO was seen to land, including indentations in the frozen ground, scorch marks on the sides on the trees, and radiation levels subsequently assessed by the UK Ministry of Defense as “significantly higher than the average background”.

Airman First Class John Burroughs encountered the UFO at close proximity on the first night. While for many years the U.S. Government denied that this incident had even occurred, in 2006 the UK Government declassified an intelligence study on UFOs (codenamed Project Condign and classified as Secret UK Eyes Only) in which the following statement is found:

The well-reported Rendlesham Forest/Bentwaters event is an example where it might be postulated that several observers were probably exposed to UAP [Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon] radiation for longer than normal UAP sighting periods.

John Burroughs was one of those observers who was exposed to UAP radiation in the Rendlesham Forest in December 1980.  However, despite having been exposed to UAP radiation as postulated by the UK’s own intelligence report, the U.S. Government stonewalled John, his attorney, and two United States senators for years.  Now, after decades of persistence, the U.S. Government has finally acknowledged that John Burroughs suffered adverse health effects in the Rendlesham Forest and, therefore, has recognized the link between his health problems and the UFO he encountered.  In an interesting twist, John’s complete medical records file from that time he served in England remains classified.  In regard to the VA’s action on his case, John said:

In January of 2015, after years of exhaustive efforts the VA settled, in full, with me. I needed someone to champion my cause, someone not afraid to put themselves at risk to help me.  I was lucky.  I found two to champion my cause, my attorney Pat Frascogna, and Senator John McCain and his staff. Through their efforts, I received lifesaving heart surgery to replace a badly shredded anterior mitral valve caused by the UAP radiation, and a settlement from the DOD and VA admitting I was injured in the line of duty in December of 1980.

Former GI recalls West German UFO landing incident

(Before It's News)

A witness who served with in a West German weapons platoon for the U.S. Army recalls events from 1966 when a UFO landed near their training mission camp and entities were seen on the ground, according to testimony in Case 63699 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The events played out in Grafenwöhr (Grafenwoehr) West Germany during the summer of 1966. Grafenwöhr was a major training area for N.A.T.O. forces and located close to the Czechoslovakian border.

The story is told here in the witnesses’ own words:

“I was in the weapons platoon of a rifle company in the (U.S.) Army. The weapons platoon was made up of four armored personnel carriers, which were 13-ton, lightly armored, tracked vehicles [M113]. Three of the APC’s were 81mm mortar gun crews, and the one I was in was the fire directions center. I was a driver at the time.

“We, approximately 14 men, were on a training mission out in the field by ourselves. The gun crews had set up their mortars and the fire directions center had laid in the guns, which is sighting them using aiming stakes for the gun crews to put their sights on.

“I was tired at dusk and rolled out my sleeping bag in a nice grassy area under a tree and beside my APC. Another sergeant did also. I went to sleep quickly.

“Three men, one on guard duty, were watching a star or light in the sky apparently pulsing with different colors. Two of the men went on to their sleeping bags and the guard stayed up. My squad leader was on radio watch because we had been warned we might have aggressors trying to sneak up on us that night.

“The next morning, I awoke to find several men talking in a group about not being woke up for guard duty. Just then my squad leader emerged from the APC and said he had fallen asleep at the radios for some strange reason. This had never happened to him before.

“My platoon sergeant, one of the three watching the light the previous night, told of being in a dream state and hearing the guard yelling frantically for help. The sergeant said he couldn’t move, but could hear.

“About 09:00 [AM] we heard and saw the guard that was on first watch coming down a hill about 200 yards away. When he reached us he was hysterical and crying. He said, ‘I thought all of you were dead.’ He then recounted his story.

“When two of the three men watching the star the previous night went to bed, the guard went toward the wood line, where we had set up camp. The guard then turned toward a clearing to the west of camp and said a craft had landed there in front of him. It had numerous lights of changing colors all down its side.

“The guard saw three figures emerge from the craft. The figures didn’t walk on the ground – they seemed to be floating just above the ground and bobbed side-to-side. The guard yelled for them to halt. When they didn’t stop, he thought about turning on his flashlight, but something in his head said ‘no’. The guard grabbed an aiming stake and tossed it at them. The guard was carrying a rifle but no live rounds were issued because they were not on a range at the time.

“He kept hearing a voice in his mind that said, ‘Don’t be afraid, we won’t hurt you.’ The guard heard one of the beings in the woods behind him and felt he was being trapped so he ran away. He came upon another group of GI’s some distance away and told them his story. He pleaded with them to come to our position and they wouldn’t. They assumed he was intoxicated on something.

“He stayed with them until morning and then came back toward our position. Looking down a hill he saw a silvery, cigar-shaped craft still where it landed the night before. He ran back to the other GI’s and again begged them to come with him. They again refused to come.

“He waited a few more hours and then came back to our camp when all of us saw him. He told us the story, and someone found the aiming stake he had thrown.

“The sergeant that slept a few yards from me said he had the strangest dream of being examined in a brightly lit operating room. He also said he had an awful headache in the top of his head. Along with this, the grassy area where we slept appeared to have had a core sample taken from it. A round spot of grass and dirt a few inches deep were missing. The platoon sergeant recalled hearing the guard yelling desperately for help but he could not move.

“My APC had the infrared lenses cracked and everything electrical was burned out. I remember the maintenance crew in our company asking what happened. They had never seen this kind of damage to a vehicle before. My APC had to be towed in to base that night, later to be sent back to Ordinance.

“The Colonel, our battalion commander, wanted some explanation for all of the damages. When he was told, he said he could not file an official report, because only one person was a witness to the event.

“My personal experience of that night involved a watch I was given for graduation. It was anti-magnetic and glowed in the dark, but that night it stopped working and glowing. I knew the guard who was on duty that night, and after the incident he was very emotionally disturbed. He was sent away and I never saw him again.

“I don’t have any recollections myself of that night, but I really would like to know what that was. I am leaving the other men’s names out for their privacy. In 1966, I was in US Army-A Company-2nd Battalion-21st Infantry-24th Division.”

Grafenwöhr  is a town in the district Neustadt (Waldnaab), in the region of the Upper Palatinate (German: Oberpfalz) in eastern Bavaria, Germany. It is widely known for the United States Army military installation and training area, called Grafenwöhr Training Area (Tower Barracks), located directly south and west of the town.

Sterrenkunde  Wetenschappers hebben een planeet met vier zonnen ontdekt. De ontdekking werd gedaan door een team van de universiteit van Hawaï. De planeet, 30 Ari geheten, staat op 136 lichtjaren verwijderd van de aarde in het sterrenbeeld Ram.

Bekend was al dat 30 Ari drie zonnen had maar onlangs werd vastgesteld dat er een vierde in het spel is. De planeet zelf is van enorme omvang en heeft een massa die tien keer zo groot is als Jupiter, de grootste planeet in ons zonnestelsel.

Het zou voor de tweede keer zijn dat een planeet met vier zonnen is ontdekt. Hemellichamen met twee of drie zonnen komen geregeld voor. Door de jongste ontdekking verwachten wetenschappers meer viersterrige planeten te traceren.

FBI destroyed thousands of UFO reports, 1949 memo reveals

Agents routinely destroyed reports containing 'nothing of FBI interest' due to lack of filing space

The FBI was so overwhelmed with sightings of flying saucers in the 1940s that agents routinely destroyed reports because of lack of filing space, according to documents released by the organisation.

The policy is outlined in a memo sent on 16 August 1949 to J Edgar Hoover, the director of the bureau, along with documents on UFOs compiled by agents after statements from witnesses.

The note, sent by an unnamed FBI agent in San Antonio, Texas, states that the office destroyed UFO reports on the grounds that they arrived "in great numbers" and contained "nothing of FBI interest".

"It is pointed out that the filing of these would result in the rapid accumulation of very bulky files," the memo continues.

The documents are among a batch of papers related to UFO sightings that has been made available through The Vault, the FBI's online records database.

In one intriguing note, sent on 22 March 1950, special agent Guy Hottel, head of the FBI's Washington field office, wrote to Hoover with information on three "so-called flying saucers" that a witness claimed had crash-landed in New Mexico.

According to the memo, an air force investigator stated that three flying saucers had been recovered in the area, along with the bodies of the alien crews. The memo goes on to add: "Each one was occupied by three bodies of human shape but only three feet tall, dressed in metallic cloth of a very fine texture. Each body was bandaged in a manner similar to the blackout suits used by speed flyers and test pilots."According to the witness, the saucers were brought down by a "high-powered government radar" in the area that interfered with the spaceships' controls. "No further evaluation was attempted," the memo concludes.

In 1947, an object that may have been a weather balloon crash-landed near Roswell, New Mexico, sparking an ongoing conspiracy that US officials captured an alien spacecraft.

In a separate incident, Hoover received an urgent teletype message from FBI agents in Salt Lake City, Utah, describing what appeared to be an explosion in the sky that was followed by "the falling of a silver-coloured object."

The sighting, recorded on 5 April 1949 by a guard at the army general supply depot in Ogden, Utah, was reported independently by a military officer and also a highway patrolman, who claimed to see a silver object explodeas it approached mountains at Sardine Canyon.

Later in the message, an assessment by the US air force office of special investigations linked the sightings to two B-29s that were practising extremely high-altitude bombing runs in the Utah desert.

Canadian military is trying hard to cover it up but, they’re forgetting one thing this is year 2015, so unlike 1947 roswell crash this event have solid proof. Thanks to the same advance technology, we humans stolen from aliens, is helping uncovering the mystery and government cover ups.

This video was sent to us on Feb 25, by a middle aged women, who we can’t name as you guys might be aware, how serious this event is. As you can see in the video a Space ship breaking apart, which then crashed into snow covered area which is now restricted by Canadian military, but this video is proof there is some sort of small rescue craft detached from crashing ship, which then pauses for few milliseconds maybe to see where main space ship might crash, which then quickly flown away into opposite direction.

Zeros, Commas & Moore

MJ-12 and Bill Moore

As I go through files and reports and other documents, I sometimes find a little item that was not very important a decade or two ago but that has taken on added significance. Such is a note about Barry Greenwood and the late Japanese UFO investigator Jun-Ichi Takanashi. Takanashi bought a copy of The Mystery of the Green Fireballs from Bill Moore which in and of itself isn’t all that exciting. Some of the documents that Moore had found were poor quality and difficult to read so that Moore, as apparently was his habit, retyped some of them to improve the legibility.

Takanashi wondered if the unusual dating format that Moore used in many of his letters and documents had been used in the original documents that Moore had retyped. That dating format was seen in some of them. Takanashi sent a query to Greenwood who then searched the Project Blue Book files until he located the original documents concerning the Green Fireballs. According to what Greenwood wrote in the June 1990 issue of Just Cause, “In all four cases where the documents were retyped, Moore had changed dates from the proper standard format to his own style by adding not only an extra comma to the dates but, in the case of the 9 February 1949 memo, a preceding zero before a single digit date where none had existed before!”

This is another bit of evidence that Moore had a hand in creating the MJ-12 documents. His unusual dating format has crept into other documents that he had admitted to retyping because of the poor quality of the originals. The two features, the extra comma and the use of the zero in front of the single digit dates, were not used by the military or the government at the time… For those who still believe that MJ-12 is authentic, this is just more evidence that it isn’t.

I should point out that Barry Greenwood printed this information twenty-five years ago so it has been out there for a long time. Although there are those who suggest they have found examples of government documents that reflect this bizarre dating format, it makes little difference because clearly Moore did use it. Besides, most of those other documents were created under special circumstances or by foreign military and government organizations. Apparently only Moore used it with any regularity and here it is another of his fingerprints on MJ-12. I wonder how many more we need.

British UFO encounter "gave me heart failure", says US airman after military chiefs agree to pay his medical bills

An American airman has won a legal bid to force military health chiefs to pay for the treatment of an illness allegedly caused by a UFO encounter in Suffolk.

Airman First Class John Burroughs was involved in an incident in Rendlesham Forest in December 1980 which has become known as "Britain's Roswell".

He was exposed to huge doses of radiation whilst investigating a mysterious craft and claimed this left him in need of "lifesaving" heart surgery.

After decades of being "stonewalled", he has finally persuaded the US Veteran's Association (VA) to pay for his treatment.

His lawyer hailed the dramatic legal about-turn as a "de facto" admission that UFOs exist and can cause "physical injury".

John Burroughs claims a UFO encounter ruined his health

Burroughs told Mirror Online: "I was not looking for anyone to believe me.

"All I have been concerned about was getting care for my illness. That was all that mattered."

The Rendlesham Forest incident is one of the great unsolved UFO encounters of the 20th century.

Several members of the United States Air Force witnessed a strange craft flying overhead on three consecutive nights.

Burroughs and a colleague Jim Penniston ventured from their base to inspect the UFO at close range, with Penniston describing a strange silver craft covered in symbols which resembled heiroglyphics.

Rendlesham Forest has become so famous that it now hosts a UFO trail

Shortly afterwards, Burroughs fell ill with symptoms resembling radiation exposure.

But the real problems started in 2011, when doctors were astonished after the mithral valve of his heart had failed - something which usually happens to men much older than 50-year-old Burroughs.

"I couldn't work and was going downhill fast," he continued.

Neither Burroughs nor his doctor were able to access his medical records, which were classified.

Burroughs even claimed the Air Force denied he was employed with them at the time of the UFO incident.

He asked for the help of presidential candidate Senator John McCain, who was also unable to get his hands on all the medical records.

Finally, Burroughs' legal team found two documents from the British Ministry of Defence which showed high levels of radiation were detected at the site where he encountered the mystery UFO.

The US Veterans Association and Department of Defence then agreed to pay for his treatment.

"I'm still trying to work out what I saw," Burroughs said. "I think this is a phenomenon the government is aware of, but are still trying to work out exactly what it is.

"We had a very weird experience. There is clearly something strange going on."

Nobody has fully explained what happened at Rendlesham Forest

Burroughs' lawyer said the ruling was effectively an admission that UFOs are real.

"In citing the [MoD radiation documents] and in granting John Burroughs full disability for his injuries in Rendlesham Forest, the US Government has by de facto acknowledged the existence of unidentified aerial phenomena which, in John Burroughs' case, resulted in physical injury," Pat Frascogna said in an email.

Nick Pope, a researcher who spent several years investigating UFOs as a employee at the MoD, told us: "I think this development is hugely significant, whatever you believe about UFOs.

"One moment the US government was saying that nothing happened, but the next, John Burroughs and his attorney get hold of a formerly classified report that says John was probably irradiated by something in Rendlesham Forest."

However, Pope is still baffled about what exactly happened that December night in 1980.

We have asked the Veteran's Association for comment.

VA agrees to Pay for Injuries From Rendlesham UFO!

Ever since the encounter 30 plus years ago the health of the two men who approached the craft have baffled doctors. Now after years of legal battles, sealed and classified medical records and denial from the government the VA as agreed to pay the medical bills and admit that something happened to these men where they were exposed to high levels of radiation.

In the early morning hours of December 26th, 1980, in Rendlesham Forest 26 year old Sgt. James Penniston was part of the three man USAF Security Police team called to investigate the landed craft of unknown origin in Rendlesham Forest. The men with Sgt. Penniston, were A1C John Burroughs and A1C Ed Cabansag. Only Penniston and Burroughs went into the woods to investigate the landed craft, Cabansag stayed near the truck as a radio relay for the men.

Cabansag watched the mysterious pulsating multicolored lights in forest, while his two team members headed out on foot. As Penniston and Burroughs approached the unusual lights, they noticed abnormal sensations on their hair, skin and clothing. It seemed as though the air was electrically charged. Also, a time distortion occurred. According to the men, time seemed as though is slowed and it was difficult to move. Another odd characteristic, was everything was void of sound.

Now visible, the craft was sitting silently at the bottom of a berm, on the pine forest floor. Penniston cautiously approached the non aero dynamic, triangular, black, glassy craft. It was like nothing he had ever witnessed before or since. The craft had patterns of blue, yellow and red colors running through the surface as though part of the craft. It was very difficult to put into words what he was witnessing. Sgt. Penniston was versed in all types of aircraft, He was a United States Air Force trained aircraft observer and crash investigator. As part of his USAF advanced training he studied both the NATO and WARSAW PACT inventories of aircraft.

His up-close investigation of the craft included photographs, measurements and drawings, which he recorded into his USAF issued notebook. He took special note of the strange pictorial type markings on the side of the craft.
These glyphs were logged by Sgt. Penniston.

When Sgt. Penniston put his hand on the etched symbols, which felt like sandpaper compared to the rest of the smooth molded surface, everything became a brilliant bright white. He could neither see nor hear. He was alone in a brilliant bright white light.

This occurred for an undetermined amount of time then his sight returned. He was standing next to the craft, facing the pictorial glyphs. The craft started to turn a vivid bright white color. So bright in fact, Sgt. Penniston thought it was going to explode. He took a defensive position nearby as the craft was engulfed in the light. The craft then lifted off approximately four feet from the ground, maneuvered between the trees, ascended to tree top level and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Both men developed a variety of serious health ailments soon after their encounter, many of which continue more than 30 years later. Burroughs, 52, developed life threatening heart problems soon after the encounter, received a pacemaker and carries a defibrillator with him.

Within three weeks of the encounter both soldiers had difficulty walking from inner ear and eye problems and months later Penniston’s gums “turned white,” a sign of heavy radiation exposure.

Since then he has had health problems and suspects that his UFO experience may have contributed to his condition. He says, “I have specific medical symptoms that are considered by some very knowledgeable people to be a fingerprint of a specific kind of radiation.”

In December of 2013 a Freedom of Information Act Request (FOIA) he made prompted the MoD to release newly found documents.

http://www.noufors.com/Documents/UAP%20in%20the%20UK%20Air%20Defence%20Region%20-%20Volume%202/uap_vol2_pgs16to30.pdf

He and his attorney have successfully proved he was exposed to huge doses of radiation whilst investigating a mysterious craft and claimed this left him in need of “lifesaving” heart surgery.

After decades of being “stonewalled”, he has finally persuaded the US Veteran’s Association (VA) to pay for his treatment.

John Burroughs claims the Rendlesham UFO encounter ruined his health,……and finally the VA has admitted to him being exposed to radiation and are paying!

His lawyer hailed the dramatic legal about-turn as a “de facto” admission that UFOs exist and can cause “physical injury”.

Real problems started in 2011, when doctors were astonished after the mithral valve of his heart had failed – something which usually happens to men much older than 50-year-old Burroughs.

“I couldn’t work and was going downhill fast,” he continued.

Neither Burroughs nor his doctor were able to access his medical records, which were classified.

Burroughs even claimed the Air Force denied he was employed with them at the time of the UFO incident.

He asked for the help of presidential candidate Senator John McCain, who was also unable to get his hands on all the medical records.

Finally, Burroughs’ legal team found two documents from the British Ministry of Defense which showed high levels of radiation were detected at the site where he encountered the mystery UFO.

The US Veterans Association and Department of Defense then agreed to pay for his treatment.

Its not unusual that someone who worked on classified projects in the military would have records withheld. In these cases the military typically settles and grants disability. However, these are individuals who knowingly working on classified projects. Burroughs was not working on classified projects.

NASA eyes ion engines for Mars orbiter launching in 2022

NASA officials want the agency’s next Mars orbiter to pull double duty as a communications relay station for a fleet of surface landers and as a trailblazer for a future round-trip sample return mission and human expeditions to the red planet.

Worried its fleet of Mars orbiter is aging, NASA intends to dispatch the spacecraft to the red planet in September 2022 to link ground controllers with rovers and extend mapping capabilities expected to be lost when the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter stops functioning.

Engineers also want to add ion engines to the orbiter and fly the efficient electrically-powered thruster system to Mars for the first time, testing out a solar-electric propulsion package that officials say will be needed when astronauts visit the red planet.

Ion engines produce just a whisper of thrust, using electric power to ionize atoms of a neutral gas and spit out the particles at high speed. While the drive given by the thrusters is barely noticeable in one instant, they can operate for months or years, burning scant fuel compared to traditional chemical rockets.

A Mars orbiter launching in 2022 is a prime candidate to test out new technologies — like ion drive engines, better solar arrays, and lightning-fast broadband communications between Earth and Mars — to help scientists return samples from the Martian surface, and eventually send humans there, according to Charles Whetsel, who oversees formulation of future Mars missions at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

“The ability to do round-trip missions, including robotic sample return, but also paving the way for human exploration, is a very high priority for the agency,” Whetsel said in a Feb. 24 meeting of the Mars Exploration Program Analysis Group, a panel of scientists chartered by NASA to help plan future scientific research at the red planet.

A rover NASA plans to send to Mars in 2020 will scoop up rock samples and store them for retrieval on a later mission. An orbiter with ion engines to get the material back to Earth will come later, along with a rocket to launch the specimens from Mars into space for pickup by the return craft.

Adding solar-electric propulsion to the 2022 Mars mission would allow the probe to swoop through different orbits around the red planet, passing by the Martian moons Deimos and Phobos and through a so-called “areostationary” orbit about 11,000 miles above the Mars equator.

The areostationary orbit is similar to the type of orbit around Earth used by communications satellites, which circle the planet at the same speed as its rotation, appearing to hover over a fixed location.

Such an orbit is ideal for communications, but most scientific observations of Mars require a closer viewpoint.

That is not a problem with solar-electric propulsion, said Robert Lock, who is leading the concept studies for the 2022 orbiter.

An orbiter equipped with ion engines — and highly-efficient solar panels to generate the power for the thrusters — would likely launch into a high-altitude Earth orbit, then fire its electric rocket jets to gradually break free of Earth’s gravity and fly to Mars. Instead of the usual transit time of less than a year, it might take two years for a probe with ion propulsion to get to the red planet, where it would initially enter a looping orbit far from Mars, before using its electric engines spiral closer.

“(Solar-electric propulsion) is easy,” Lock told NASA’s Mars science panel Feb. 24. “It’s like an electric light switch. You turn the motor off, do some science, turn the motor back on and continue spiraling. Doing science on the way through the Mars system is actually a very easy thing to do, and you’ve got loads of power to do it with.”

Lock said in-space electric propulsion — thought of as an unproven cutting edge technology not long ago — is now mature enough to rely on for a robotic mission to Mars. He said the 2022 probe could mark the start of a new generation of Mars orbiters, much like the way the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter — with its telescopic imaging camera, sounding radar and large size — represented a leap in capabilities when it lifted off in 2005.

NASA’s Dawn spacecraft now approaching the dwarf planet Ceres would not be possible without ion engines, and a pair of Boeing-built communications satellites launched just Sunday using only xenon-ion propulsion to complete their missions.

“In the decade since MRO was launched and got to Mars, significant new things have happened,” Lock said. “Deep Space 1 and Dawn proved that electric propulsion can be taken out into the solar system and used successfully. In the meantime, our commercial friends were using electric propulsion to replace complex and risky chemical propulsion systems to do their jobs easier and more cheaply for telecom satellites.”

NASA could elect to send an orbiter to Mars with conventional liquid-fueled propulsion system, purely as a replacement for the communications relay and scientific survey capacity from previous missions.

But Whetsel and Lock said infusing the 2022 mission new technologies like electric propulsion or high-speed optical communications would expand the orbiter’s scientific output while simultaneously paving the way for later voyages.

“Getting to Mars and then getting back again with sample return is turning out not to be so much of a challenge if we start off with a solar-electric propulsion type basis,” Lock said.

According to Lock, one orbiter design under discussion is based on the probe NASA has proposed sending to collect an asteroid and return it to the vicinity of the moon for a visit by astronauts. The Mars mission model based on the asteroid retrieval mission would have enough power from its ion engines to launch to the red planet and return to Earth, and still fit in the envelope of a Falcon 9 or low-end Atlas 5 rocket, he said.

Officials said all the concepts under consideration for the 2022 mission are targeted to cost between about $500 million and $1 billion, in line with NASA’s most recent Mars orbiters. If the orbiter includes things that apply to future human expeditions to Mars, the cost could be shared among NASA’s science, human exploration and space technology divisions, which each have their own funding lines.

Lock pitched using ion drives on the 2022 mission to the Mars science community by highlighting how the orbiter could support more scientific sensors than existing probes. The electric thrusters are power-hungry, requiring upgraded solar panels to charge the spacecraft’s batteries, but that leaves extra power for research instruments when the engines are switched off.

“We have a lot of capability, and the trick is going to be dialing in who wants what out of the mission, who is going to contribute what to the mission, and how do we share the landscape in terms of funding all the things we want to do,” Lock said.

NASA also has a more logistical reason behind the mission: Officials are not sure how many of the space agency’s existing orbiters will still be working by the early 2020s.

Launch opportunities for Mars missions are spaced approximately 26 months apart, when the planets are properly aligned to make the interplanetary journey feasible.

Engineers will spend the next year studying several concepts for the 2022 mission, and officials hope to finalize the orbiter’s purpose and architecture in time to kick off development by the end of 2016, according to Jim Watzin, head of NASA’s Mars exploration program at NASA Headquarters.

NASA’s network of spacecraft circling Mars — currently consisting of the Mars Odyssey probe, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, and the MAVEN mission — may be whittled down to as few as one by 2022.

Besides science data collected by the orbiters, the spacecraft are critical to support landers and rovers parked on the Martian surface. They relay signals between Earth and the craft on Mars, enabling the return of imagery, data and telemetry at a much faster rate than possible with direct links.

“One of my biggest worries is some of our spacecraft are getting old,” said Fuk Li, director of Mars programs at JPL. “Looking into the early ’20s and having an orbiter around (Mars) to provide a rejuvenation of communications and reconnaissance capability is one of the critical things we can add to the program. It provides a lot more resiliency and robustness to how we do operations around Mars.”

Mars Odyssey — in orbit since October 2001 — is battling problems with reaction wheels it uses for pointing, and MRO will mark a decade since its launch later this year. MAVEN is a newcomer to Mars after it arrived in September.

The European Space Agency’s Mars Express mission is also in orbit and can beam back data from the rovers, but it has been at Mars since December 2003.

The next two U.S. missions to Mars will go to the surface. The InSight lander will launch in March 2016 and measure seismic activity from a stationary position near the Martian equator, and modified copy of the Curiosity rover is set to blast off toward the red planet in July 2020.

The focus on surface missions leaves a gap in new U.S. orbiters.

ESA is in the final stages of building a methane-sniffing orbiter for launch on a Russian Proton rocket in January 2016. It will host a U.S.-made Electra radio package to connect with the Curiosity and Opportunity rovers, giving them a new conduit to send back results to scientists on Earth.

India’s Mars Orbiter Mission, which reached the red planet in September, does not carry the radio system required for linkups with the rovers.

“Although there’s a lot of open territory and a lot of landscape to be explored in the coming decade, we’ve done enough exploration of that to understand that building from the 2020 surface mission … it feels like the right thing to do is to move forward with an orbiter mission concept,” Whetsel said.

“We’ve been exploring what that orbiter might look like,” Whetsel said. “We don’t have one firm concept. We’ve got a family of concepts, but we know enough about those now to reach out to the science community and talk about the different capabilities that orbiter might have.”

The Putakawagan UFO picture Real or fake ?

This is the picture that i want your opinion on.

It shows us what looks like a disc shaped object with the classic "dome" in the middle.

The Guy that took the picture said that it "jumped" out of the sky and was hanging in the air just long enough til he could take a picture, and then it flew up and out through the skies again.

Whats your thoughts on it ??

   Spectra                  

door Jan De Ceuster

In een vorig ¨onderzoek van lichtverschijnselen bij UFO´s met MHD propulsie ¨werd het spectrum besproken van het zogenaamde Bubba fenomeen op 7 Februari 1992 in Gulf Breeze (Florida –USA) .

             Hieruit is gebleken dat er een duidelijk verschil is tussen spectra van een UFO fenomeen en dat van een pyrotechnisch gebeuren waarbij door verbranding van stoffen lijnen optreden in het spectrum. Een typisch voorbeeld hiervan zijn de chinese ballonnen die tijdens festiviteiten wel eens worden opgelaten en die door sommige waarnemers voor UFO´s worden aanzien.

            In de studie van het Bubba fenomeen werd voor het pyrotechnisch voorbeeld de fakkel genomen ,dewelke zeer dikwijls door de Amerikaanse Luchtmacht als uitleg voor een UFO waarneming gebruikt wordt ,maar waarbij   de optredende spectraallijnen dan wel voorkomen in het spectrum als   verbrandingsproducten van Strontium en Barium .

            Voor het spectrum van een UFO en dat van een fakkel werd voor beide overwegend rood en groen , constant in amplitude voor het UFO fenomeen en gerafeld voor de fakkel opgemerkt vermits de verbranding met horten en stoten plaatsgrijpt, en voor beide een zwakke inhoud aan blauw.

            Wat opvalt is dat de gele kleur niet optreedt in het UFO spectrum

Deze karakteristiek werd als eigen aanzien voor het UFO gebeuren en als kenmerk voor een UFO spectrum vooropgesteld .

Het is nu zo dat uit spectrummetingen uitgevoerd op het Hessdalen fenomeen en de daarop uitgevoerde analyses door de ploeg van de Italiaanse Dr Massimo Teodorani op het typische ¨doublet¨ verschijnsel dit voor Bubba vooropgestelde UFO spectrum bevestigt. Een overwegende rood-groene inhoud treedt immers op in de verschillende opnames. Beide meetgegevnes respectievelijk van het Bubba fenomeen in Gulf Breeze in 1992 en deze van het Hessdalen spectraalonderzoek vertonen een duidelijk ontbreken van geel in het spectrum.

            Een spectrum met spectraallijnen van een Natrium lamp doet dienst als referentie . Een continu spectrum wordt tevens afgebeeld van een autolamp zowel als 2 Hessdalen spectra van een doublet

            De conclusie omtrent de spectraalinhoud voor een typisch UFO fenomeen is slechts mogelijk geworden door deze vergelijkende studie tussen Bubba en Hessdalen.

Army Helicopter’s UFO Scare Still A Mystery, 40 Years Later

(Before It's News)

Forty years ago today, a four-man crew of an Army Reserve helicopter was flying over Mansfield, Ohio, around 11:00 p.m. when they “encountered a near midair collision with an unidentified flying object,” according to the official report, signed and submitted by the crew after the incident.

A full explanation for this terrifying UFO close encounter has never been offered, and to this day, the helicopter-UFO incident remains one of the most credible — and terrifying — in the history of the subject.

The commander of the helicopter, Maj. Larry Coyne, and his crew, thought at first that the light on the horizon was a radio tower beacon.

“We were flying along at about 2,500 feet when the crew chief on the helicopter observed a red light on the east horizon. He then informed me that the light was closing on the helicopter — that it was coming at us on a collision course,” Coyne told this reporter in 1975.

“I looked to the right and observed that the object became bigger and the light became brighter, and I began to descend the helicopter toward the ground, to get out of the collision course path. We were descending and this object was like a missile locked onto the helicopter, only it came at us on a perpendicular angle, to hit us almost broadside.

“It looked like we were going to collide with it and we braced for impact, and then I heard the crewmen in the back say, ‘Look up!’ and I observed this craft stopped directly in front of us — stopped — it was hovering, right over the helicopter!” (See main story illustration above)

Watch this video excerpt of the Coyne account from a documentary report. The story continues after the video.

With the unknown object hovering in the air above the helicopter, Coyne and his crew suddenly noticed a light coming out of the aft end of it — a light that swung 90 degrees and came into their cabin.

“It was a bright green light. And all of the red night lights that we utilize for night navigation were dissolved in this green light — the whole cabin turned green. It hit all of us directly in the face.”

Coyne and his crew knew they were encountering something extraordinary.

“We assumed it was a high-performance fighter, but when it stopped directly in front of us, then all four of us realized that was no high-performance aircraft. This craft, from the angle that we saw it, was cigar-shaped. It had no wings, no vertical or horizontal stabilizer, was approximately 60 feet long, 15-20 feet in height.”

What occurred next was like something out of science fiction.

“We were at 1,700 feet,” Coyne recalled. “Then this craft began to move slowly to the west away from us. At this time, I was worried we were going to hit the ground, and I looked at my altimeter and our helicopter was at 3,500 feet, climbing 1,000 feet a minute with no changes in the control. We went from 1,700 feet to 3,500 feet in a matter of seconds and never knew it!”

The helicopter topped out at 3,800 feet and the four men felt a bump, “like turbulence, at which time we had control of the aircraft again. I had control and we went back down to 2,500 feet and then continued on to Cleveland,” Coyne said.

“As far as the vehicle itself, there’s no doubt in our minds what it looked like. A craft that can move at terrific speeds in excess of 1,000 knots, and then stop on a dime, maintains altitude, can change altitude, climb, descend. To encounter a UFO when it approaches your aircraft, you have no idea what it is. I think if it wanted to collide with us, it could have. You can’t get away from it — you don’t have that much time to respond!”

Lending credibility to this case were eyewitnesses on the ground who observed the UFO-helicopter encounter. The Army didn’t prevent Coyne and his crew from speaking out about their experience. In fact, Coyne was allowed to recount the UFO incident to the United Nations in 1978, as seen below, under the sponsorship of Grenada.

his 1973 UFO incident, while certainly dramatic and terrifying for the helicopter crew involved, is not the only time that conventional aircraft have had encounters with unknown objects.

Many crew members of major airlines have witnessed unusual objects near their aircraft but have been reluctant to tell their stories publicly.

In 1999, Richard Haines, a retired senior research scientist for the NASA-Ames Research Center in California, created the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena, or NARCAP, to give pilots and air traffic controllers a confidential place to report their own unusual sightings of what Haines refers to as unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAP.

“We have two objectives: To make flying safer with regard to unidentified and poorly understood phenomena in the atmosphere. And the second objective is to collect, analyze and then report high quality data from the aerospace world on the phenomena, to help us understand them better,” Haines, 76, told The Huffington Post.

According to Haines, on an average daily basis, since the creation of NARCAP, he’s received six to 12 reports a year. He absolutely believes there are real dangerous or safety issues that come up between pilots and some UAP.

“Based upon analysis of past cases, a potential for a very serious event does exist,” Haines said. “We have reviewed a great many encounters in flight where several things can happen. One of them is an electromagnetic effect in close proximity to the phenomenon, where cockpit instrumentation are affected — it might be a magnetic field, radio interference or even an inertial effect, and that’s obviously unsafe. Pilots don’t want to be flying airplanes where they can’t trust their instruments.”

Another area of concern that Haines and his colleagues have found is similar to what Coyne and his helicopter crew experienced in 1973.

“It’s where a UAP is near the airplane, perhaps ahead of the plane, and the pilot makes a rapid emergency dive to avoid a perceived collision. That’s not very common, but it would have to be reported. It has happened in the past and there are still near-misses that occur which sometimes are associated with a nearby UAP.”

Haines has always been impressed with the Coyne helicopter incident.

“It qualifies as a genuine UAP encounter. Multiple witness cases are very important and should command the attention of aviation officials. In the Coyne case, its color, speed and apparent shape — those are all important physical characteristics that can be related to other pilot sightings.

“I think the Coyne case ranks very, very high in credibility. One reason is Coyne’s reputation as a good pilot before this happened. And his courage — the fact that he was willing to come forward with this very bizarre story and to stand by it says an awful lot. And he would give encouragement to other pilots to do the same.

“If everybody remains silent, we’re never going to get to the bottom of this.”

The Link Between Pharaohs and ETs? Alien Artifacts Discovered in Jerusalem

The Link Between Pharaohs and ETs? Alien Artifacts Discovered in Jerusalem

The discovery of several remarkable relics could change the way we perceive ancient history. The artifacts were allegedly discovered in former house belonging to Sir William Petrie, hidden in a secret chamber behind a bookshelf. A pioneer archaeologist, Sir Petrie excavated many of the most important ancient Egyptian archaeological sites.

His most famous findings are housed in the Petrie Museum in London but it seems he kept his most important ones to himself. It is believed he found them inside a secret chamber inside the Great Pyramid in Giza.

Among the many items found in the secret room were two small mummified bodies with long, slender arms and elongated heads with large eye sockets. Could these be the remains of extraterrestrial beings?

Another interesting relic was a disk-shaped gold object the size of a small plate. The object had a transparent top and an intricate mechanism inside. Unknown symbols were etched into its sides and they do not appear to be Egyptian hieroglyphs. 

Last but not least and perhaps the most shocking is an item similar to a pharaoh mask. However, instead of the typical human face we might expect on such an item, this mask features a head that is identical to what we call ‘gray aliens’. The left side of the mask contains symbols that could very well be depicting alien encounters and what appears to be a spaceship.

Could these relics be the sought-after connection between the ancient Egyptians and an alien civilization? Strangely enough, Petrie mysteriously abandoned his efforts in Egypt and spent the remainder of his days excavating sites in Palestine. Perhaps he had uncovered clues that led him there.

It’s higly unlikely we’ll ever see these relics again as sources claim that shortly after their discovery, the artifacts were supposedly taken by representatives of the Rockefeller Museum. This could all be an elaborate hoax or publicity stunt, but what if it isn’t?

Take a look at the video below:

Strange UFO Clouds Captured Over Washington State, British Columbia, Bulgaria and Mexico (Video)

(Before It's News)

Strange cloud formations have left residents in Washington State and British Columbia perplexed, after showing up in the sky several times this month.

On March 1, 2015 another odd cloud was spotted over Bulgaria. This cloud is almost identically with a cloud captured in Mexico, last year. Both cloud formations are looking out of place in a surrounding clear sky.

It is said that these hole punch clouds actually be evidence of UFO activity while UFOs also have the ability to generate clouds to hide within, like the strange clouds over Bulgaria and Mexico.

Below, short videos of these odd cloud formations.
