Drill Bit Found in Coal Suggests Advanced Civilization LONG Before Humans Thought to Walk Earth?

 

Oopart (out of place artifact) is a term applied to dozens of prehistoric objects found in various places around the world that seem to show a level of technological advancement incongruous with the times in which they were made. Ooparts often frustrate conventional scientists, delight adventurous investigators open to alternative theories, and spark debate.

According to the conventional view of history, humans have only walked the Earth in our present form for some 200,000 years, with our ancestors’ history extending back perhaps 6 million years. The Earth’s coal is said to have formed hundreds of millions of years ago. That’s why the appearance of a man-made iron instrument resembling a drill bit in the heart of a large chunk of coal puzzled the historians who found it in the 19th century.

It appeared that a man-made tool as advanced as the tools used in the 19th century was deposited in the organic matter that formed the coal before it became coal. Was a civilization advanced enough to use drill bits present hundreds of millions of years ago as this coal was forming?

 

Was a civilization advanced enough to use drill bits present hundreds of millions of years ago as this coal was forming?

John Buchanan, Esq., presented the mysterious object to a meeting of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland on Dec. 13, 1852. His accompanying statements are recorded in the Society’s proceedings, which are quoted in full at the end of this article.

In summary, Buchanan said that the iron instrument was found within a seam of coal about 22 inches thick, which was in turn buried in a bed of diluvium or clay mixed with boulders some 7 feet thick.

He said: “I quite agree in the generally received geological view, that the coal was formed long before man was introduced upon this planet; but the puzzle is, how this implement, confessedly of human hands, should have found its way into the coal seam, overlaid as the latter was by a heavy mass of diluvium and boulders.”

The Society decided that the instrument was of a modern level of advancement. But, it concluded that “the iron instrument might have been part of a borer broken during some former search for coal.” Buchanan’s detailed report did not include, however, any signs that the coal surrounding the instrument had been punctured by drilling. He seemed to describe, rather, an iron instrument completely and bewilderingly encapsulated by coal. 

The passages about this iron instrument in the Dec. 13, 1852 Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland is recorded here in its entirety: 

•   A communication was then read from John Buchanan, Esq., relative to the discovery of an iron instrument, lately found imbedded in a natural seam of coal in the neighbourhood of Glasgow. The instrument which was exhibited to the Meeting was considered to be modern. In his communication Mr. Buchanan remarks: ‘I send herewith, for the inspection of the Society, a very curious iron instrument found last week in this locality. The interest attaching to this singular relic arises from the fact of its having been discovered in the heart of a piece of coal, seven feet under the surface. To explain particulars, I beg to mention, that a new line of road, called the Great Western Road, was opened a few years ago, leading to the Botanic Gardens, which, you may be aware, are situated about two miles north-west from Glasgow. At a point on this new road are the lands of Burnbank, now in course of being extensively built upon. The person conducting these building operations is Mr. Robert Lindsay, wright and builder, a most respectable individual, well known to me, and on whose veracity implicit confidence may be placed. Now, when Mr. Lindsay came to excavate the foundations along the north side of the road for the range of houses, he cut through a bed of diluvium or clay mixed with boulders, seven feet thick, and then came on a seam of coal about twenty-two inches thick, cropping out almost to the very surface, and resting on freestone. It was necessary to remove this coal and cut into the stone below, which last was very opportune for building purposes. A quantity of the coal so removed was carted over to Mr. Lindsay’s workshop or yard for use; and while his nephew, Robert Lindsay junior, an apprentice, was breaking up a block of the coal, he was surprised to find the iron instrument now sent in the very heart of it. At first neither he nor the others about him could make out what it was, but after scraping and cleaning it from the coaly coating, it presented the appearance now before you. I send along with it a portion of the coal. Having been made aware of this discovery, I lost no time in seeing Mr. Lindsay senior; and accompanied him this day to the spot, and had the circumstances detailed to me by his nephew, and several of the respectable operatives who saw the instrument taken from the coal; and all of whom, Mr. Lindsay senior assures me, are persons whose statements may be implicitly relied upon.’
• The affidavits of five workmen who saw the iron instrument taken from the coal were also sent, and Mr. Buchanan further adds: ‘I quite agree in the generally received geological view, that the coal was formed long before man was introduced upon this planet; but the puzzle is, how this implement, confessedly of human hands, should have found its way into the coal seam, overlaid as the latter was by a heavy mass of diluvium and boulders. If the workmen who saw the relic disinterred are to be depended on (and I have no reason whatever to doubt their perfect veracity), then there may and must be some mode of accounting for the implement finding its way down eight or nine vertical feet from the surface.’

It was suggested that in all probability the iron instrument might have been part of a borer broken during some former search for coal.

Do you believe in Extraterrestrial Intelligence? What about the idea that not only do they exist, but that they are in contact with the Earth currently?

(Before It's News)

Do you believe in Extraterrestrial Intelligence? What about the idea that not only do they exist, but that they are in contact with the Earth currently?

All of the evidence I’ve seen has pointed to this being true, and if you have seen some of the information out there, I’m sure this idea doesn’t come as being far fetched to you.  This article will expose the undercover story, and introduce you to the species you can make direct contact with right now.

Humans have already discovered 2,000 exoplanets in our Universe, with over 500 discovered this year alone. These planets are potentially suitable for life and have the right conditions to support it, including perhaps oxygen, carbon, and water.

Our continued study of space has only led us to realize that it is very likely that the Universe is absolutely teeming with life, especially when you take into account that there are an estimated 100 billion galaxies in our Universe.
 

Some people may think it’s impossible that aliens would be able to exist, and doubly impossible that they would be able to travel light years to visit us.  But think about this:

Our earth is only 4 billion years old in a universe that is 14 billion years old.  What could a species learn, create, and do that has a 2 or 3 billion year head start on us?

Proven contact

Humans who act as Spiritual Channels have been pushing up against mainstream consensus for years, sharing that they have directly had contact with extraterrestrials.  

Abductees, military personnel, whistleblowers, even reputable scientists have been thoroughly tested by a vast range of neurologists, hypnotists, psychologists, etc., proving undisputedly that these people have had contact with ETs, some of which is reported to be both positive and negative.

If this is coming as news to you, here is the former Minister of National Defense of Canada Paul Hellyer giving full disclosure within parliament about the UFO coverup stories and ET contacts we have made.  He explains in front of a room of government officials that there are over 80 species of aliens we are aware of, and 4 of them in particular that we have made direct contact with on earth:
  

It is believed that all of the ones who have contacted us so far are benevolent and want to help us. Some of these beings may appear odd or paranormal in nature to us, and that from what I understand it’s because it is hard for us to fully understand their consciousness, intelligence and the way they interface with reality.

Not to mention, that their existence alone shifts our understanding of the Universe and our place within it so dramatically that it is very natural for us to be inclined to reject that which is so unfamiliar and challenging to us.  I also know this is a highly controversial conversation to be starting, but the world needs to know this information.

I do believe the time has to  begin to consciously interact with these beings, to create a new relationship with them and open the bridge of communication. 

I have experienced this firsthand myself, and many others have as well. I truly believe it’s part of our future destiny as a species, and is an organic part of maturing into being an intelligent, loving and compassionate planet.

So without further adieu, here are the 5 main ETs that are in contact with earth.  Please keep in mind this information is not being made up.  This is coming from the high levels of government and military personnel, scientists, and first-hand contacts.

1) The Essassani

The Essassani are technically our reptilian, grey-human hybrid relatives. Back in the day, a species called the Greys came to Earth. According to reports, they had genetically mutated themselves to the point of not being able to reproduce anymore. They could only survive through cloning.
 

We agreed to share our genetics with them so that we could alter their course of history and future.  Most abduction experiences had to do with this genetic course-correction, and was very confusing for humans. We on some level agreed to this relationship.

Since then an entirely new breed of beings was created, which were already far more advanced than we, and were given a prepared planet for them to inhabit that has allowed them to advance, evolve and grow rapidly, without ever being as primitive as our own journey on Earth.

They are in a way our direct relatives, and are here to support us during our evolutionary path.  They assist us in staying the course of the most-preferred reality we would like to create, desirably one of peace and harmony. 

The Essassani are indeed a benevolent and loving race. They have a close relationship to their higher-selves, are extremely playful, and love to reflect back our hunger to understand ourselves better.

The Essassanis are our contact ambassadors, and you may be most familiar with the Essassani species from Bashar, channeled by Daryl Anka.

2) The Yahyel (Aka The Shalanaya)

The Yahyel are a gorgeous and graceful species of hybrid beings. They are said to radiate very pure solar-golden energy, and are one of the closest interstellar relatives we have.
 

They will be the first race to make open-contact with us as a species in the upcoming future. They are about our height, well-framed and seem to possess the appearance of an angelic anime character, many of which look highly multi-cultural. They are remarkably beautiful, gentle, intelligent, heart-centered and considerate.

They have a very healthy relationship with their technology, and are here to help us develop and evolve. They too came from primitive times, and are far more advanced than us currently. It is said that many of our social networking platforms were given to the Earth with the help of their stream of consciousness.

3) Sirian Hybrids

These hyper-sapiens are highly evolved, and according to the records have had a lot of contact with us since the beginning.
 

  
They are said to be our Father Race, who came together to help create humans genetically. Many ancient prophecies and spiritual texts say extraterrestrials were involved in the creation of human beings.

The Sirius beings exist about 300 to 500-years into the future and are tens of thousands of years more advanced and evolved than our own species. 

They specialize in technology, architecture, sustainable energy and sacred geometry. Also, the being depicted in the movie Avatar are said to be very similar in appearance to Sirians.

They are about our height, though a bit taller overall, slender and have really defined muscles. They have a warm bluish tone to their skin, warm oval eyes, long fingers with precision dexterity.

4) The Pleiadians

The Pleiadian Hypersapiens are tall, round-faced, wide-eyed with soft yet detailed features. They are beautiful beings who are almost exclusively described as having blonder hair (if they do have hair) and blue eyes.
 

It’s been said that many of us spent time on the Pleiades training and learning about life before coming to Earth, and many have said that’s where we are headed after Earth.

Their bodies function like finely-tuned delicate instruments which can pick up psychic signals streamed across the Universe. In this way if you work on psychically connecting with the Pleiadians, they can often be one of the most directly responsive & seemingly close by ETs we are in contact with.

The Pleiadians also have a diplomatic like-quality, as they are very involved with the Interstellar Alliance, supporting the development of seed races on other Planets and ensuring their progress of evolution for all. 

The Pleiadians are extremely gentle and loving and are an easy race to begin psychically contacting. They are readily available and always quick to respond and interact.

5) Arcturians

The most ancient race of our entire Milky Way Galaxy, the Arcturian Hypersapiens are a highly evolved race of alien beings. They are profoundly aware, innovative and experienced.
 

It has been said that it was the Arcturian system that was first seeded in this galaxy, which initiated a series of descending races further into the galaxy, including our own inhabitation.

The Arcturians come in many forms, as their highly-advanced consciousness has allowed them pass through singularity, and completely co-exist in an powerfully advanced high-vibrational reality. 

The primary race is one of approximately 4 to 5 feet in height, blue skin and large brains. Their bodies are, however surprisingly ample and have a fit shape about them.

The Arcturians are accelerating and becoming less physical. The Arcturians are witty, psychic beyond the proximity of our comprehension and ever-overseeing and supporting our experience of life.  They are some of our deepest ancestors within the stars.

For more information on human-initiated ET contacts, government coverups, alien abductees, and whistleblower testimonies, I highly recommend you watch the Sirius documentary.  It contains decades worth of full time research, and is the best integration of free-energy devices, alien races, and spirituality:

How to contact these beings

I recommend you creating a time to meditate each day at the exact same time. Cleanse your space, get comfortable and take a few deep breaths.  

Create an invocation to welcome them into your space. And then just meditate… go quiet & listen. Perhaps ask a question and see what kind of responses you get.

As Max Plank once said, the number of minds in the universe is one. These beings have thousands and millions of years of evolution on us, so things like telepathy, ESP, and physic transmission are as easy for them as sending a radio signal is for us.

The ancients knew this

ET visitations have been recorded for thousands of  years, and ALL ancient cultures talk about the “gods” that would “come down from the sky” with a bright light and given them knowledge, tools, technology and culture. 

These beings are usually depicted having shiny skin or wearing some kind of space gear, and have generally have large heads and wide large eyes.

Chariots of the Gods is a wonderful read summarizing the vast amount of evidence that ancient man was visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings and they they created art, cave paintings, and sculptures of these distant visitors to describe the experiences they had of them.

These are the 5 main races in contact with earth. Again, I would like to stress that this is not New Age mumbo jumbo. This information comes from the highest levels of the military industrial complex, government, and first hand contacts.

There are many more in contact with us right now, and many more who desire to contact us.  Maybe they are waiting for us to open our minds and our hearts, let go of our greed and pride, grow up a bit, and make more spiritual progress before they make their presence known to the whole world.

If you ever hit any blocks or get stuck, it’s likely you are dealing with resistance. Resistance can easily block us from tuning in or focusing our intentions. 

It’s important you transform your relationship with resistance if you are looking to better your life. Here is a groundbreaking eBook I created for you to help! Over 10,000 people have read it and and loved the amazing insights & benefits it gave them for their lives! I know you will too.

Police Officers Triangle Sightings Over England

(Before It's News)

POLICE OFFICERS TRIANGLE SIGHTING OVER ENGLAND
OCTOBER 1996 …………….   SHEFFIELD UNITED KINGDON

 In mid October 1996, I was a uniformed Police Officer with  South Yorkshire Police working in Sheffield.  This is in the north of the City and covers a rural area which borders the Peak District National Park.  In the early hours of a night shift (say between 0300 to 0400hrs) I was out on mobile patrol duties unaccompanied in a marked Police vehicle (a diesel engined Land Rover Defender model) and in St.Margaret Avenue Deepcar when I had noticed a male on foot near some dwelling houses who I decided to confront about his presence on the street at that time of day.  In turning the vehicle around to confront the male he had then disappeared  I saw was something ahead of me in the night sky that has projecting a white beam of light similar to a searchlight downwards towards the ground at an angle. I would estimate the event (craft) to be 1.000 yards or more ahead of me in the North.

At that time all I could see was a beam of white light being projected downwards towards the ground at an angle.  I could see no other lights at that time.  I could not see any shape or form of what (craft) the light was being projected from.  All I could see was a black sky with no light pollution at that location. My own position was at an elevated position in Deepcar and the event was ahead of me on the horizon which meant that if it was taking place over or near the A616 road it was obviously quite elevated at that location (which is down hillfrom my viewpoint).  I then used my UHF radio to contact the control room at Ecclesfield Police Station Sheffield about my sighting and to ask whether the Police helicopter had been scrambled to any incident taking place on or near the A616.I also used my vehicle VHF radio to contact force operations room at Police Headquarters Sheffield.I was told categorically that the force helicopter was grounded at base.  During my radio transmissions I had continued to observe the event ahead of me on the horizon. This may have lasted several minutes.

 I became aware that something of a vast size and dark in colour suddenly moved quickly towards me in a straight line and was then directly above my vehicle in St.Margaret Avenue.  I heard no sound of any craft approaching me.  The move was very quick for the distance traveled from the horizon.  I saw no lighting or any illumination on the object as it approached.  I could just differentiate that there was a large dark object moving in the dark sky directly towards me.  The next thing I knew was that as I was still seated in the Police vehicle the whole street around my vehicle was suddenly illuminated by a fantastic bright blue light which was clearly coming from directly above my vehicle in the night sky.  I had never experienced any such light before or since.  It was similar to an intense blue neon sign light. Sodium street lighting was illuminated in the street at the time but this blue light was tremendous in its power. I bet you could have found a needle on the road it was so intense.  I jumped out of the door and looked directly above  me.  At that time I could see that there was a very large black triangular object hovering above me/moving forwards very slowly in the night sky.  At this time I could see the underside of the object only.  I could clearly see the triangular shape.  It was black but visible through contrast with the sky.  It was making very little noise other than a sort of whirring noise.  I was shocked at what I was observing.  It was not a conventional  aircraft that I would know.At that time I saw that the craft was showing three red lights to the underside of it.  These were near to the corners of the triangular shaped object.  I estimate the triangle may have been a few hundred feet wide or more.

I saw that it moved to the left beyond this housing and then suddenly changed direction to go right  (as if thrown in reverse) and then suddenly left again on its original course of flight.The speed of the moves was very fast and I did not believe any conventional fixed wing aircraft capable of doing what I saw at that point. The object continued to move very rapidly in this South Westerly direction and I then lost sight of it.  I was in awe of what I was witnessing and wanted to give it my full attention.  After I had witnessed the object move away from my location in the south westerly direction I contacted my control room and told them what I had seen (ie.in my own opinion a large black triangular UFO) and told them it was my intention to proceed in the direction of the flight path of the object for any further sightings. I did not seem to get any response from my own control room to the effect that they took me seriously.  The senior officer of the two stated they had seen the brilliant blue light in the sky over Deepcar but knew nothing else of what it was.  I know this officer had his own experience of UFO sightings on a night shift during the early 1980’s in Sheffield when I was on the same shift as him. On the night of my sighting this officer had a brother in the Police working at Attercliffe Police Station Sheffield (about 9 miles away as the crow flies) also on a night shift. I know my colleague spoke with his  brother at Attercliffe and he and officers on his night shift had also witnessed bright blue lights in the sky as well but I know no more  detail than that. I know I did not lose any time the night of the incident as I did check my wristwatch sometime at the start of the event and after it. I did do this because I have read and heard that people who have undergone these type of experiences have told of “missing time” after the event.  I retired from South Yorkshire Police in 2001.

Illinois: Why a Hotspot of UFO Sightings?

Hundreds of eyewitnesses have come forward claiming to see UFOs of space origins in Illinois. The general public often greets These people with mass amounts of skepticism and distrust. The question strikes, are the UFO sightings in Illinois for real? It seems like Illinois’ attraction remains a mystery. But if you are hesitant, try to dig through the map for answers. Out of the many places reported within Illinois, these are the four which bears a resemblance to Erowid trip reports:

Melrose Park (July 14, 2004)

The strange object was seen soaring in the sky in night-time during the party. It moved upward and a little downward lasting for three minutes with colors red, green and blue. The lights kept flickering, changing and blinking, which are unexplainable. It was believed to be a genuine UFO sighting as the criteria are far different from a typical airplane.

Blue Mound (September 19, 2004)

The strange UFO object was seen and heard during the four-wheeler ride. The appearance of the strange object is a silver cigar shaped thing with black dots. Unlike the regular plane, it was traveling fast and perfectly turned 90 degrees. When it stopped, the lights appeared blue.

Petersburg (November 28, 2009)

The strangest UFO appeared at 10:50 p.m. in the northwest direction. At first, they noticed three brownish objects hovering in the sky, forming a triangle. At the second view, they thought the strangest objects were birds. Since they are evenly spaced, dimly lit, small, and fast, the viewers realized that the triangle object is indeed a strange UFO.

Grayslake (January 17, 2007)

The strange object was a silver saucer- disk shaped hovering into the sky. The viewer was not a UFO believer. Since he is a logical person, he shared the information with the people.

Whatever the case may be, it is apparent that every year more and more UFO sightings are being reported by different individuals.

Filer’s Files # 24 -2015 Classified Space Fleet - PART II

Sightings of UFOs in the United States

Arizona Object

I was riding in a commercial airplane from Phoenix to Burbank between 7:30 and 9:30 AM on June 8, 2015. The bright light on the vast desert surface caught my attention through the window. The light came through my window and reflected into my eyes. At first I thought the light could be a huge flood light, like the kind they use in construction sites at night.

It appeared to be a huge sphere of extremely bright glowing light, hovering over the desert surface. It appeared to be moving and becoming 3 separate lights, slightly smaller and less bright than the initial light. Thanks to MUFON CMS Note: The bright lights may be the sun reflecting off a lake or shiny structures.

California Lights

Big Bear City — I did not personally see the object on June 2, 2015, I was paying attention to my stopwatch and remote shutter for my Canon 5d on tripod with a 75-300mm 1:4-5.6 lens which I was using to take sequential photos of a very bright setting Venus. I didn’t see the object until I reviewed the 57 images when I returned home. The object appears in all 57 images. The object is first seen hovering at 25 degrees high looking west then slowly ascending to. 60 degrees high looking just south of west and hovering there a few frames then with the attached photo it flashed down before hovering and what seems to be ‘morphing’ at 17 degrees high looking west to the left of Venus. I have had several sightings in the past that I know are good evidence. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Florida Light

Jacksonville — On the evening of June 6th, 2015 at 9:05 pm, I stepped onto my fire escape and noticed what I thought was a Roman Candle ascending from behind the trees to the NNE. When the orb did not burst, or burn out, but instead slowed and seemed to hover for a few seconds I became curious.

I pulled out my cellphone and started filming. The orb seemed to continue hovering for a few seconds then started moving southwest and seemed to accelerate as time progressed. The orb faded out after about a minute and 50 seconds from when I first saw it. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Georgia Orbs

Conyers — I am the Chief Meteorologist for WSB TV in Atlanta. A viewer sent me this video taken on June 3, 2015.

There were 100 little red dots following an airline path over Conyers headed west. Please tell me what it was? He has great video. I have attached what she sent. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Indiana Lights

Fountain Square — I was standing outside of the Pure Eatery and looked above the building across the street and observed two stationary dual red lights on June 6, 2015. Then it moved across the sky and hovered nearly above me. I began filming the silent object. As I filmed several other people on the crowded street took notice.

I filmed the object for two minutes and as the color changed from red to green. I began filming again and it flew swiftly across the sky, until it went out of view behind the buildings. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Kentucky Triangle

Richmond — It was around 10:26 PM, when I was standing out on my porch when I saw two Red lights sailing east together, slowly on June 4, 2015. When my friend arrived, I said, “Look at those two red lights.” It flew silently over my home, as if they were connected. When I zoomed in I could see a third light and saw it was triangle shaped. The red light in the back started to pulsate.

The first one was at a slightly higher angle than the one behind it as if they were connected. It was so strange, because I see ufos here all the time. I got close up photos of these two lights that were connected to the other one. Afterwards, I went inside for a minute and came out to see a low flying satellite looking thing going over my home heading northwest.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Massachusetts Orbs

Boston – I was driving home on 93SB on June 3, 2015, around 8 pm, and still light out when three orbs appeared in the east, almost in a perfect arc. Then a 4th appeared. They were stationary the entire time. I saw them for 10 minutes while driving east and they seemed to jump on either side of the highway as we went around bends, but I’m not sure if that was my perception.

There were airplanes nearby (near Logan airport), and also airplanes in the sky. These orbs were not airplanes, as they did NOT move at all and did not emit the usual consistent blinking lights an airplane does at night. Eventually we lost them over the tree line. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New York Lights

Pleasantville — On the evening of June 6th, 2015 at 9:05 pm, I stepped onto my fire escape to have a cigarette and noticed a Roman Candle ascending from behind the trees to the NNE. When the orb did not burst, or burn out, but instead slowed and seemed to hover for a few seconds I became curious.

I pulled out my cellphone and started filming. The orb seemed to continue hovering for a few seconds then started moving from NNE to SW and seemed to accelerate as time progressed. The orb faded out after about a minute and 50 seconds from when I first saw it. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Pennsylvania Cylinder

Shippensburg University — I was in the passenger’s seat, riding home on May 23, 2015, to an odd looking hovering object. My witness was driving and couldn’t make it out said, “I see something was there.” It looked like two circles with a dark spot on the middle. I knew immediately that it was something unworldly and took out my iPhone and took four pictures. After the fourth picture I changed over to video and I could clearly see nothing. It was gone from the area. After I got home I blew up some of the pictures and even ran the best one thru some filters. The filter picture I think clearly shows better definition of the object(s). But my eyes saw it better than my iPhone camera could. It was too far away to get a good picture! Thanks to MUFON CMS

Texas Object

Newark — I walked out of the garage and looked to my left and seeing this thing hovering on June 4, 2015, I took out my camera and started snapping photos. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Note: The object appears to be a garbage can lid thrown into the air.

Wisconsin Disc

Franklin — We were arriving home and I decided to take a picture of the branches for a work project on September 17, 2014.

I did not use flash. This could be a bug or something but since I didn’t use flash I thought it seemed strange.

Also, I did not notice the glowing thing until I looked at the picture the next day. It might be nothing but it just seemed strange.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Worldwide UFO Reports

Australia Disc

Sydney — I was filming the moonrise on my balcony- and noticed the eastbound 737 on approach to Mascot KFS, and I did record that and the lights it emitted, typical airliner pattern, I recorded for about a minute, and went back inside as it was quite cold.

What I did notice on playback was a bright-dull orange orb that appeared at the top (12 o’clock position) at the 0.05 sec time index; I haven’t the necessary equipment to view this frame by frame but will gladly pass it on to you.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Canada Orb

Kitchener — I was waiting in a parking lot when the object caught my attention at 11:43 am, on may 23^rd 2015, that at first I thought it was a foil balloon. It was flashing with alight and sometimes three as bright as weld flashes. I watched as it came across my windshield sightline to the left window. The object seemed to be “tumbling” across the sky the day was cloudless, clear and sunny. The object then stopped, still tumbling and stayed there for 2-3 minutes then it proceeded to go back in the opposite direction. I got out the vehicle to get a better view. I watched as the object quickly came back and hovered above me and this point. I grabbed my Canon 6d Camera in the vehicle. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Finland Oval

Laukaa — It rose up from a far away beach on May 28, 2015, and hovered a bit and then disappeared at 3 PM. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.nuforc.org

Mexico Object

Riviera — I was on vacation on the Crown Princess in April of 2015 taking a cruise along the Mexican Riviera. On our way back to the Port of Los Angeles I decided to take a video with audio on my cell phone to show family…I was on the deck and videoed in the middle of the ocean with NO land in sight. With my eye I saw nothing while I was videoing…it wasn’t until I reviewed my video did I see this bright Orb like shape fly out of the ocean. It shot out of the water and ascended then just disappeared. Again we were in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with nothing around us but Water! I did not see this while videoing. The video I am submitting is the original…nothing has been tampered with…I am STILL very amazed I saw nothing but the wake and the water. Thanks to MUFON CMS Note green light may be a lens reflection.

Panama Disc

Veracruz, — I am a professional photographer. I was in Panamá working for a fitness portfolio on May 31, 2015. I never noticed the object until 2 days later when I reviewed the images I took, so I did not see it with my own eyes. It simply showed up in the background of one of my shots. The area I was working on is very close to the Panama Canal and close also to an ex-US Air Force base in that country. The city is called about 10 minutes away from the city of Panama.

I was returning home from vacation. The plane started to reduce flight on May 27, 2015. I took a few pictures by my phone because of nice clouds around. I did not see anything special. I did not notice UFO.

When I got home I started watching photos I took. Then I have noticed thin line at the picture I have sent you. When I zoomed in at the end of this line I have realized that this is something unusual. Important – attached original photo should be seen on display with pixel density at least 300.

 Portugal Lights

Barceinhos — After dinner I went to the terrace of my house because my brother called me on June 7, 2015. He thought there was a rain of meteorites. I also thought there was a rain of meteorites as 50 or more objects were flying from east to west at constant speed and trajectories.

There were flashing lights and a suggested vacillation of the object. The exact trajectory surprised us. The sight of the object was lost in the clouds; yet during the sighting a phone contact was made to a person about 8 km SW which did not observe anything. There were limitations in the camera. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Spain Boomerang

Antequera — All of the class were taken to see the stars around 10:40 pm, but about half of the class left ten minutes later on May 7, 2015. I stayed with the monitor and some friends explaining constellations. I looked the opposite way and noticed a boomerang with a tiny dome and four flashing yellow, blue, white and red lights. It suddenly stopped a couple times, and then continued on its path.

It disappeared into the trees and came back four more times as if it was looking for something. It also flew in circles. My friends saw it too. This object was much faster than the usual aircraft. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Switzerland Lights

Zurich — I was watching the light show at the end of the AC-DC concert at Letzigrund Stadium from the 20th floor of our building. A major lightning storm started and I grabbed my phone to take pictures of the concert. I took all the pictures in quick succession and did not see the object captured in the photos.

The object appears first as a pin point of blue/turquoise light, and then develops 2 more green lights and the 4-5 total light green lights plus the bright turquoise light in the middle with a disc-shaped outline. The object moves around and reduces to only the turquoise point of light during the lightning strikes. All photos were captured within two minutes. I have about 30 photos. Thanks to MUFON CMS

UK/England Orb

Newcastle — When I was driving up the A-1 Motorway heading north bound I noticed a plane so I took a photo of it for my son on May 26, 2015. A few days later I remembered about the photo and I viewed it and zoomed in on the plane lower right and noticed a strange object in the sky. I have shown it to a few of my friends and they have all said that it cannot be anything else and to try to fine somewhere to get it appraised. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Blindfold, Dorset, England — This crop circle found this week in England almost resembles the Old Norse art for the Viking era. The farmer has requested that people not come to visit and that is understandable.

If this was made by a UFO, or if it was manmade, the farmer doesn’t care. He lost some of his crop and that is never good.

It would be nice to have some Geiger counter readings from the field or magnetic field reading. SCW

UFO boven Loch Ness

Een aantal toeristen is erin geslaagd om een bijzondere foto te maken van een vliegend object boven het Schotse Loch Ness.   

Hoewel het misschien in de lijn der verwachtingen ligt, is het niet het monster van Loch Ness wat daar door de lucht vliegt.


De foto die genomen is, hoort eigenlijk thuis in de categorie toevalstreffers. De 48-jarige Alan Betts was met zijn vrouw Anna en haar ouders op vakantie in deze contreien.

Het was zijn schoonmoeder Tatiana die de bewuste foto nam en die er als volgt uitzag.

Heel duidelijk zijn op de foto twee schotelvormige objecten te zien die over het beroemde meer in de Schotse Hooglanden vliegen.

Ook hier weer een situatie die je veel vaker hoort. Pas bij thuiskomst, toen ze de foto’s op de computer bekeken, zagen ze het vreemde object in de lucht.

De heer Betts, die als directeur van een koelbedrijf tot het nuchtere deel van de bevolking mag worden gerekend, zei dat hij normaal gesproken sceptisch is over dit soort dingen, heel erg sceptisch.

Hij heeft echter geen enkele verklaring voor de foto en weet nog wel dat op de avond dat de foto werd genomen, hun hond Yuka, heel erg van slag was. “Hij blaft nooit, behalve die avond en wij maakten nog grapjes en zeiden tegen elkaar dat hij waarschijnlijk Nessie het monster had gezien omdat hij als een gek naar de lucht blafte. Wij zagen op dat moment niets”.

Breaking News on the (NOT) Roswell “Alien” Slides

From the Picasa Web Gallery of Frank Hadl

As has been repeatedly reported, the slides which some have claimed shows an “alien” body (but which most believe to be the mummified remains of a Native American child unearthed at a cliff-dwelling in the late 1890s), has again been found in another old slide image within a museum display.

This time the image is apparently from a slide taken in December 1956 by Frank Hadl, a then Air Force gunner training at Luke Air Force Base:

Frank responded to comments / questions posted by RSRG (Roswell Slide Research Group) member Isaac Koi at the PicasaWeb photo gallery page maintained by Frank Hadl.

Image originally discovered by Jorge Peredo

On Wednesday, the image above began circulating online among those trying to find further confirmation on the nature and disposition of the mummified child’s remains shown in the original “Roswell ‘Alien’ Slides.” It was originally discovered by Jorge Peredo who provided it to José Antonio Caravaca.

Frank Hadl Slide

NOTE: These new images are still being vetted.

The above dark slide was provided to Isaac Koi after Anthony Bragalia (previously one of the main proponents of the alien interpretation of the body seen in the slides and virulent / accusatory critic of skeptical RSRG researchers) helped locate the source of the mystery photo which surfaced yesterday.

The image below is a mock-up of the alleged slide (or an alternate) containing the latest image superimposed upon / inserted into the frame of the dark slide image above. Confused yet? This is a developing story and will be updated.

Mock-up slide image of latest photo inserted into slide frame from darker original (or alternate?) mummy photo allegedly taken by Frank Hadl ‘to demonstrate that when the placard and rounded top-left corner are aligned, the shelf is not.” Courtesy of Nab Lator who deciphered the placard in the original “Hilda Ray Slides.” Below is an animated version.

Animated “Mock-up” for comparison purposes only.

Late Tuesday night (Central Standard Time) José Caravaca posted the cropped image to the RSRG facebook group, saying he was trying to establish the provenance and source of the image. The image was released publicly and the search for the source began.

• New Confirmation for Photograph of the Roswell “Alien” – Bragalia @Randle 6/11/15
• Diapositivas de Roswell: Caso Cerrado – José Antonio Caravaca, 6/12/15

Jaime Maussan, one of several individuals promoting the slides and claiming they depict an alien body, has offered a reward of $5,000 for another photo of the body and $10,000 for the body itself. So far, he has claimed that the photo is a fake and does not seem inclined to follow-through on paying the reward.

This case of possible mistaken identity / possible shenanigans by Roswell researchers and UFO media personalities has exacerbated the already frayed edges of DeUxFology.* Calls for further investigation of the slide promoters along with questions about these researchers continued speaking on the UFO lecture circuit have ignited a firestorm of controversy across the internet through the rapid response enabled by social media.

While these new images are still being vetted to insure that they are genuine it seems quite likely that they represent yet another “nail in the coffin” hopefully securing the final resting place of this mysterious little fellow.

In the meantime, perhaps we should review what we know so far by visiting the Anomaly Archives resource page on the (NOT) Roswell Slides. For more on how the identification of the child-mummy came about, visit the website of the Roswell Slides Research Group.

Mysterious Ancient Human Species Make Theory Of Evolution Incomplete!

This article first appeared in topinfopost.com and is written by DNA

Evolution is something scientists have observed at several different levels in nature, and when it comes to human ancestry, they’ve been able to collect bits and pieces of the giant puzzle that is human evolution. We do know that some form of evolution (scientifically speaking) has occurred on various levels, but there are still many missing links to our evolutionary journey, and new discoveries made every year are continuing to re-write what we previously believed to be true.

It’s important to remember that there is still much we do not know, and the evolutionary tree is far from understood, let alone complete.

A New Species Discovered?

One great example is a discovery that was made just over a year ago where researchers discovered what looks to be an entirely new species of hominin that is currently unknown to modern day science. The discovery was made in a Siberian cave.

A DNA analysis of the subject’s genome detected traces of what is known as a “Denisovan,” who are considered to be the mysterious cousins of the Neanderthals. The alarming part is the fact that the genome also contains odd bits of DNA which seem to come from a completely unknown, unidentifiable group of “people.”

The genome from a Neanderthal was also analyzed from the excavation, and the results suggest that interbreeding occurred among members of multiple ancient human-like groups in Europe and Asia more than 30,000 years ago, “including an as yet unknown human ancestor from Asia.”

•      “What it begins to suggest is that we’re looking at a Lord of the Rings type world – that there were many hominid populations.” - (1) Mark Thomas, evolutionary geneticist at University College London.

Again, Neanderthal and Denisovan’s are believed to have bred with anatomically modern humans, thus contributing to the genetic diversity of many people today. That being said, this new discovery suggests that our genetic diversity is far more complex, and again, includes a being (or beings) that has yet to be identified.

•    “The best explanation is that the Denisovans interbred with an unidentified species, and picked up some of their DNA. Denisovans harbour ancestry from an unknown archaic population, unrelated to Neanderthals.” - (2) David Reich of Harvard Medical School

Who Were These People?

The question now becomes, who were these mystery people that some of our ancestors (like the Denisovans) were interbreeding with? Could they have been a similar group? Could they have been a completely separate, entirely new species?

This finding is one small example of the many mysteries and questions that remain regarding human evolution. There is also the anomaly regarding evidence found which suggests intelligent, extremely advanced (more so than we are today) ancient human civilizations might have existed in our ancient past, from millions of years ago all the way up to recent history.[3] Where does all that fit into the equation? That is, however, a completely separate topic for a separate article.

The amount we do know is but a tiny drop in an ocean, full of unknowns that have yet to be discovered, that will one day shed light on the mystery of human origin.

X-Files filming at 'UFO crash site' in Ashcroft

VIDEO: Mysterieuze graancirkel ontdekt in Zuid-Rusland

Inwoners van de Russische autonome republiek Adygea hebben een drone ingezet om een mysterieuze graancirkel te onderzoeken. Er zijn ook vreemde patronen gevonden in de buurt van Moskou.

De beelden die de drone heeft gemaakt tonen zes ringen in een weiland aan de voet van de Westelijke Kaukasus. De grootste cirkel heeft een doorsnee van 13 meter. De grootste twee cirkels bevatten bovendien een vreemde ‘krater’ van een halve meter diep.

De graancirkel werd dinsdag ontdekt door een lokale boer, die claimde dat de cirkels er de avond ervoor nog niet waren. In de afgelopen 15 jaar zijn dit soort formaties drie keer in het gebied ontdekt. Als populaire verklaringen voor de cirkels worden onder meer ‘aliens’ en ‘elektromagnetische straling’ genoemd. Mensen die niet in buitenaards leven geloven zeggen dat graancirkels door mensen worden gemaakt.

Bij een dorp in de buurt van Moskou zijn twee grote ovaalvormige patronen en een 10 meter grote cirkel gevonden. Vrijwilligers hebben bodemmonsters genomen om de herkomst van de geometrische vormen te achterhalen.

De lokale autoriteiten vermoeden dat de patronen resten zijn van een oude weg die ooit door het gebied liep. De cirkels zijn echter nog een mysterie.

Alien Visitations: What John Lennon Told Uri Geller Before His Death

By: Jack Murphy

© press   

Back in November of 1979, John Lennon was sat in a restaurant with Uri Geller in New York City, Yoko was present an conversation was focused on their unborn child, Sean. The talk of babies and parenthood came to a sudden halt when John turned to Uri and started to talk about UFO 's.

Geller, who has recalled the conversation in an article he wrote for the Telegraph, said that Lennon believed in life on other planets and also that this planet was being visited by an E.T presence. The conversation took and even weirder turn when Lennon took Uri to another table, lit his cigarette, and began to tell him an extraordinary story.  Lennon gave Uri a mysterious egg, which he still has to this day, saying he believed it was a ticket to another planet.  A year later, Lennon would be dead.

From Uri Gellers account, the conversation went as follows:

“You believe in this stuff, right?” he asked me. “Well, you ain’t f---in’ gonna believe this.

“About six months ago, I was asleep in my bed, with Yoko, at home, in the Dakota Building. And suddenly, I wasn’t asleep. Because there was this blazing light round the door. It was shining through the cracks and the keyhole, like someone was out there with searchlights, or the apartment was on fire. That was what I thought — intruders, or fire. I leapt out of bed, and Yoko wasn’t awake at all, she was lying there like a stone, and I pulled open the door. There were these four people out there.”

“I was straight that night. I wasn’t dreaming and I wasn’t tripping. There were these creatures, like people but not like people, in my apartmen

“Well they didn’t want my f---in’ autograph. They were, like, little. Bug-like. Big bug eyes and little bug mouths and they were scuttling at me like roaches.”

“I’ve told this to two other people, right? One was Yoko, and she believes me. She says she doesn’t understand it, but she knows I wouldn’t lie to her. I told one other person, and she didn’t believe me.

“She laughed it off, and then she said I must have been high. Well, I’ve been high, I mean right out of it, a lot of times, and I never saw anything on acid that was as weird as those f---in’ bugs, man.

“I was straight that night. I wasn’t dreaming and I wasn’t tripping. There were these creatures, like people but not like people, in my apartment.”

“How do you know they did anything to me, man?” “Because they must have come for a reason.”

“You’re right. They did something. But I don’t know what it was. I tried to throw them out, but, when I took a step towards them, they kind of pushed me back. I mean, they didn’t touch me. It was like they just willed me. Pushed me with willpower and telepathy.”

“I don’t know. Something happened. Don’t ask me what. Either I’ve forgotten, blocked it out, or they won’t let me remember. But after a while they weren’t there and I was just lying on the bed, next to Yoko, only I was on the covers.

John Lennon's UFO drawing which has now been sold at auction.

"And she woke up and looked at me and asked what was wrong. I couldn’t tell her at first. But I had this thing in my hands. They gave it to me.”

“What was it?” Lennon dug into his jeans pocket. “I’ve been carrying it round ever since, wanting to ask somebody the same question. You have it. Maybe you’ll know.”

I took the metal, egg-like object and turned it over in the dim light. It seemed solid and smooth, and I could make out no markings. “I’ve never seen anything like it.”

“Keep it.” John told me. “It’s too weird for me. If it’s my ticket to another planet, I don’t want to go there.”

What do you think?  Was John Lennon just high?  Or did he experience something out of this world?  Comment below.

CIA's Role in the Study of UFOs, 1947-90 - PART I

A Die-Hard Issue

Gerald K. Haines

An extraordinary 95 percent of all Americans have at least heard or read something about Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), and 57 percent believe they are real. (1) Former US Presidents Carter and Reagan claim to have seen a UFO. UFOlogists--a neologism for UFO buffs--and private UFO organizations are found throughout the United States. Many are convinced that the US Government, and particularly CIA, are engaged in a massive conspiracy and coverup of the issue. The idea that CIA has secretly concealed its research into UFOs has been a major theme of UFO buffs since the modern UFO phenomena emerged in the late 1940s. (2)

In late 1993, after being pressured by UFOlogists for the release of additional CIA information on UFOs, (3) DCI R. James Woolsey ordered another review of all Agency files on UFOs. Using CIA records compiled from that review, this study traces CIA interest and involvement in the UFO controversy from the late 1940s to 1990. It chronologically examines the Agency's efforts to solve the mystery of UFOs, its programs that had an impact on UFO sightings, and its attempts to conceal CIA involvement in the entire UFO issue. What emerges from this examination is that, while Agency concern over UFOs was substantial until the early 1950s, CIA has since paid only limited and peripheral attention to the phenomena.

Background

The emergence in 1947 of the Cold War confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union also saw the first wave of UFO sightings. The first report of a "flying saucer" over the United States came on 24 June 1947, when Kenneth Arnold, a private pilot and reputable businessman, while looking for a downed plane sighted nine disk-shaped objects near Mt. Rainier, Washington, traveling at an estimated speed of over 1,000 mph. Arnold's report was followed by a flood of additional sightings, including reports from military and civilian pilots and air traffic controllers all over the United States. (4) In 1948, Air Force Gen. Nathan Twining, head of the Air Technical Service Command, established Project SIGN (initially named Project SAUCER) to collect, collate, evaluate, and distribute within the government all information relating to such sightings, on the premise that UFOs might be real and of national security concern. (5)

The Technical Intelligence Division of the Air Material Command (AMC) at Wright Field (later Wright-Patterson Air Force Base) in Dayton, Ohio, assumed control of Project SIGN and began its work on 23 January 1948. Although at first fearful that the objects might be Soviet secret weapons, the Air Force soon concluded that UFOs were real but easily explained and not extraordinary. The Air Force report found that almost all sightings stemmed from one or more of three causes: mass hysteria and hallucination, hoax, or misinterpretation of known objects. Nevertheless, the report recommended continued military intelligence control over the investigation of all sightings and did not rule out the possibility of extraterrestrial phenomena. (6)

Amid mounting UFO sightings, the Air Force continued to collect and evaluate UFO data in the late 1940s under a new project, GRUDGE, which tried to alleviate public anxiety over UFOs via a public relations campaign designed to persuade the public that UFOs constituted nothing unusual or extraordinary. UFO sightings were explained as balloons, conventional aircraft, planets, meteors, optical illusions, solar reflections, or even "large hailstones." GRUDGE officials found no evidence in UFO sightings of advanced foreign weapons design or development, and they concluded that UFOs did not threaten US security. They recommended that the project be reduced in scope because the very existence of Air Force official interest encouraged people to believe in UFOs and contributed to a "war hysteria" atmosphere. On 27 December 1949, the Air Force announced the project's termination. (7)

With increased Cold War tensions, the Korean war, and continued UFO sightings, USAF Director of Intelligence Maj. Gen. Charles P. Cabell ordered a new UFO project in 1952. Project BLUE BOOK became the major Air Force effort to study the UFO phenomenon throughout the 1950s and 1960s. (8) The task of identifying and explaining UFOs continued to fall on the Air Material Command at Wright-Patterson. With a small staff, the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) tried to persuade the public that UFOs were not extraordinary. (9) Projects SIGN, GRUDGE, and BLUE BOOK set the tone for the official US Government position regarding UFOs for the next 30 years.

Early CIA Concerns, 1947-52

CIA closely monitored the Air Force effort, aware of the mounting number of sightings and increasingly concerned that UFOs might pose a potential security threat. (10) Given the distribution of the sightings, CIA officials in 1952 questioned whether they might reflect "midsummer madness.'' (11) Agency officials accepted the Air Force's conclusions about UFO reports, although they concluded that "since there is a remote possibility that they may be interplanetary aircraft, it is necessary to investigate each sighting." (12)

A massive buildup of sightings over the United States in 1952, especially in July, alarmed the Truman administration. On 19 and 20 July, radar scopes at Washington National Airport and Andrews Air Force Base tracked mysterious blips. On 27 July, the blips reappeared. The Air Force scrambled interceptor aircraft to investigate, but they found nothing. The incidents, however, caused headlines across the country. The White House wanted to know what was happening, and the Air Force quickly offered the explanation that the radar blips might be the result of "temperature inversions." Later, a Civil Aeronautics Administration investigation confirmed that such radar blips were quite common and were caused by temperature inversions. (13)

Although it had monitored UFO reports for at least three years, CIA reacted to the new rash of sightings by forming a special study group within the Office of Scientific Intelligence (OSI) and the Office of Current Intelligence (OCI) to review the situation. (14) Edward Tauss, acting chief of OSI's Weapons and Equipment Division, reported for the group that most UFO sightings could be easily explained. Nevertheless, he recommended that the Agency continue monitoring the problem, in coordination with ATIC. He also urged that CIA conceal its interest from the media and the public, "in view of their probable alarmist tendencies" to accept such interest as confirming the existence of UFOs. (15)

Upon receiving the report, Deputy Director for Intelligence (DDI) Robert Amory, Jr. assigned responsibility for the UFO investigations to OSI's Physics and Electronics Division, with A. Ray Gordon as the officer in charge. (16) Each branch in the division was to contribute to the investigation, and Gordon was to coordinate closely with ATIC. Amory, who asked the group to focus on the national security implications of UFOs, was relaying DCI Walter Bedell Smith's concerns. (17) Smith wanted to know whether or not the Air Force investigation of flying saucers was sufficiently objective and how much more money and manpower would be necessary to determine the cause of the small percentage of unexplained flying saucers. Smith believed "there was only one chance in 10,000 that the phenomenon posed a threat to the security of the country, but even that chance could not be taken." According to Smith, it was CIA's responsibility by statute to coordinate the intelligence effort required to solve the problem. Smith also wanted to know what use could be made of the UFO phenomenon in connection with US psychological warfare efforts. (18)

Led by Gordon, the CIA Study Group met with Air Force officials at Wright-Patterson and reviewed their data and findings. The Air Force claimed that 90 percent of the reported sightings were easily accounted for. The other 10 percent were characterized as "a number of incredible reports from credible observers." The Air Force rejected the theories that the sightings involved US or Soviet secret weapons development or that they involved "men from Mars"; there was no evidence to support these concepts. The Air Force briefers sought to explain these UFO reports as the misinterpretation of known objects or little understood natural phenomena. (19) Air Force and CIA officials agreed that outside knowledge of Agency interest in UFOs would make the problem more serious. (20) This concealment of CIA interest contributed greatly to later charges of a CIA conspiracy and coverup.

& Minneapolis, Minnesota, 20 October 1960

The CIA Study Group also searched the Soviet press for UFO reports, but found none, causing the group to conclude that the absence of reports had to have been the result of deliberate Soviet Government policy. The group also envisioned the USSR's possible use of UFOs as a psychological warfare tool. In addition, they worried that, if the US air warning system should be deliberately overloaded by UFO sightings, the Soviets might gain a surprise advantage in any nuclear attack. (21)

Because of the tense Cold War situation and increased Soviet capabilities, the CIA Study Group saw serious national security concerns in the flying saucer situation. The group believed that the Soviets could use UFO reports to touch off mass hysteria and panic in the United States. The group also believed that the Soviets might use UFO sightings to overload the US air warning system so that it could not distinguish real targets from phantom UFOs. H. Marshall Chadwell, Assistant Director of OSI, added that he considered the problem of such importance "that it should be brought to the attention of the National Security Council, in order that a communitywide coordinated effort towards it solution may be initiated." (22)

Chadwell briefed DCI Smith on the subject of UFOs in December 1952. He urged action because he was convinced that "something was going on that must have immediate attention" and that "sightings of unexplained objects at great altitudes and traveling at high speeds in the vicinity of major US defense installations are of such nature that they are not attributable to natural phenomena or known types of aerial vehicles." He drafted a memorandum from the DCI to the National Security Council (NSC) and a proposed NSC Directive establishing the investigation of UFOs as a priority project throughout the intelligence and the defense research and development community. (23) Chadwell also urged Smith to establish an external research project of top-level scientists to study the problem of UFOs. (24) After this briefing, Smith directed DDI Amory to prepare a NSC Intelligence Directive (NSCID) for submission to the NSC on the need to continue the investigation of UFOs and to coordinate such investigations with the Air Force. (25)

The Robertson Panel, 1952-53

On 4 December 1952, the Intelligence Advisory Committee (IAC) took up the issue of UFOs. (26) Amory, as acting chairman, presented DCI Smith's request to the committee that it informally discuss the subject of UFOs. Chadwell then briefly reviewed the situation and the active program of the ATIC relating to UFOs. The committee agreed that the DCI should "enlist the services of selected scientists to review and appraise the available evidence in the light of pertinent scientific theories" and draft an NSCID on the subject. (27) Maj. Gen. John A. Samford, Director of Air Force Intelligence, offered full cooperation. (28)

At the same time, Chadwell looked into British efforts in this area. He learned the British also were active in studying the UFO phenomena. An eminent British scientist, R. V. Jones, headed a standing committee created in June 1951 on flying saucers. Jones' and his committee's conclusions on UFOs were similar to those of Agency officials: the sightings were not enemy aircraft but misrepresentations of natural phenomena. The British noted, however, that during a recent air show RAF pilots and senior military officials had observed a "perfect flying saucer." Given the press response, according to the officer, Jones was having a most difficult time trying to correct public opinion regarding UFOs. The public was convinced they were real. (29)

In January 1953, Chadwell and H. P. Robertson, a noted physicist from the California Institute of Technology, put together a distinguished panel of nonmilitary scientists to study the UFO issue. It included Robertson as chairman; Samuel A. Goudsmit, a nuclear physicist from the Brookhaven National Laboratories; Luis Alvarez, a high-energy physicist; Thornton Page, the deputy director of the Johns Hopkins Operations Research Office and an expert on radar and electronics; and Lloyd Berkner, a director of the Brookhaven National Laboratories and a specialist in geophysics. (30)

The charge to the panel was to review the available evidence on UFOs and to consider the possible dangers of the phenomena to US national security. The panel met from 14 to 17 January 1953. It reviewed Air Force data on UFO case histories and, after spending 12 hours studying the phenomena, declared that reasonable explanations could be suggested for most, if not all, sightings. For example, after reviewing motion-picture film taken of a UFO sighting near Tremonton, Utah, on 2 July 1952 and one near Great Falls, Montana, on 15 August 1950, the panel concluded that the images on the Tremonton film were caused by sunlight reflecting off seagulls and that the images at Great Falls were sunlight reflecting off the surface of two Air Force interceptors. (31)

The panel concluded unanimously that there was no evidence of a direct threat to national security in the UFO sightings. Nor could the panel find any evidence that the objects sighted might be extraterrestrials. It did find that continued emphasis on UFO reporting might threaten "the orderly functioning" of the government by clogging the channels of communication with irrelevant reports and by inducing "hysterical mass behavior" harmful to constituted authority. The panel also worried that potential enemies contemplating an attack on the United States might exploit the UFO phenomena and use them to disrupt US air defenses. (32)

To meet these problems, the panel recommended that the National Security Council debunk UFO reports and institute a policy of public education to reassure the public of the lack of evidence behind UFOs. It suggested using the mass media, advertising, business clubs, schools, and even the Disney corporation to get the message across. Reporting at the height of McCarthyism, the panel also recommended that such private UFO groups as the Civilian Flying Saucer Investigators in Los Angeles and the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization in Wisconsin be monitored for subversive activities. (33)

The Robertson panel's conclusions were strikingly similar to those of the earlier Air Force project reports on SIGN and GRUDGE and to those of the CIA's own OSI Study Group. All investigative groups found that UFO reports indicated no direct threat to national security and no evidence of visits by extraterrestrials.

Following the Robertson panel findings, the Agency abandoned efforts to draft an NSCID on UFOs. (34) The Scientific Advisory Panel on UFOs (the Robertson panel) submitted its report to the IAC, the Secretary of Defense, the Director of the Federal Civil Defense Administration, and the Chairman of the National Security Resources Board. CIA officials said no further consideration of the subject appeared warranted, although they continued to monitor sightings in the interest of national security. Philip Strong and Fred Durant from OSI also briefed the Office of National Estimates on the findings. (35) CIA officials wanted knowledge of any Agency interest in the subject of flying saucers carefully restricted, noting not only that the Robertson panel report was classified but also that any mention of CIA sponsorship of the panel was forbidden. This attitude would later cause the Agency major problems relating to its credibility. (36)

The 1950s: Fading CIA Interest in UFOs

After the report of the Robertson panel, Agency officials put the entire issue of UFOs on the back burner. In May 1953, Chadwell transferred chief responsibility for keeping abreast of UFOs to OSI's Physics and Electronic Division, while the Applied Science Division continued to provide any necessary support. (37) Todos M. Odarenko, chief of the Physics and Electronics Division, did not want to take on the problem, contending that it would require too much of his division's analytic and clerical time. Given the findings of the Robertson panel, he proposed to consider the project "inactive" and to devote only one analyst part-time and a file clerk to maintain a reference file of the activities of the Air Force and other agencies on UFOs. Neither the Navy nor the Army showed much interest in UFOs, according to Odarenko. (38)

A nonbeliever in UFOs, Odarenko sought to have his division relieved of the responsibility for monitoring UFO reports. In 1955, for example, he recommended that the entire project be terminated because no new information concerning UFOs had surfaced. Besides, he argued, his division was facing a serious budget reduction and could not spare the resources. (39) Chadwell and other Agency officials, however, continued to worry about UFOs. Of special concern were overseas reports of UFO sightings and claims that German engineers held by the Soviets were developing a "flying saucer" as a future weapon of war. (40)

To most US political and military leaders, the Soviet Union by the mid-1950s had become a dangerous opponent. Soviet progress in nuclear weapons and guided missiles was particularly alarming. In the summer of 1949, the USSR had detonated an atomic bomb. In August 1953, only nine months after the United States tested a hydrogen bomb, the Soviets detonated one. In the spring of 1953, a top secret RAND Corporation study also pointed out the vulnerability of SAC bases to a surprise attack by Soviet long-range bombers. Concern over the danger of a Soviet attack on the United States continued to grow, and UFO sightings added to the uneasiness of US policymakers.

Mounting reports of UFOs over eastern Europe and Afghanistan also prompted concern that the Soviets were making rapid progress in this area. CIA officials knew that the British and Canadians were already experimenting with "flying saucers." Project Y was a Canadian-British-US developmental operation to produce a nonconventional flying-saucer-type aircraft, and Agency officials feared the Soviets were testing similar devices. (41)

Adding to the concern was a flying saucer sighting by US Senator Richard Russell and his party while traveling on a train in the USSR in October 1955. After extensive interviews of Russell and his group, however, CIA officials concluded that Russell's sighting did not support the theory that the Soviets had developed saucerlike or unconventional aircraft. Herbert Scoville, Jr., the Assistant Director of OSI, wrote that the objects observed probably were normal jet aircraft in a steep climb. (42)

Wilton E. Lexow, head of the CIA's Applied Sciences Division, was also skeptical. He questioned why the Soviets were continuing to develop conventional-type aircraft if they had a "flying saucer." (43) Scoville asked Lexow to assume responsibility for fully assessing the capabilities and limitations of nonconventional aircraft and to maintain the OSI central file on the subject of UFOs.

CIA's U-2 and OXCART as UFOs

In November 1954, CIA had entered into the world of high technology with its U-2 overhead reconnaissance project. Working with Lockheed's Advanced Development facility in Burbank, California, known as the Skunk Works, and Kelly Johnson, an eminent aeronautical engineer, the Agency by August 1955 was testing a high-altitude experimental aircraft--the U-2. It could fly at 60,000 feet; in the mid-1950s, most commercial airliners flew between 10,000 feet and 20,000 feet. Consequently, once the U-2 started test flights, commercial pilots and air traffic controllers began reporting a large increase in UFO sightings. (44) (U)

The early U-2s were silver (they were later painted black) and reflected the rays from the sun, especially at sunrise and sunset. They often appeared as fiery objects to observers below. Air Force BLUE BOOK investigators aware of the secret U-2 flights tried to explain away such sightings by linking them to natural phenomena such as ice crystals and temperature inversions. By checking with the Agency's U-2 Project Staff in Washington, BLUE BOOK investigators were able to attribute many UFO sightings to U-2 flights. They were careful, however, not to reveal the true cause of the sighting to the public.

According to later estimates from CIA officials who worked on the U-2 project and the OXCART (SR-71, or Blackbird) project, over half of all UFO reports from the late 1950s through the 1960s were accounted for by manned reconnaissance flights (namely the U-2) over the United States. (45) This led the Air Force to make misleading and deceptive statements to the public in order to allay public fears and to protect an extraordinarily sensitive national security project. While perhaps justified, this deception added fuel to the later conspiracy theories and the coverup controversy of the 1970s. The percentage of what the Air Force considered unexplained UFO sightings fell to 5.9 percent in 1955 and to 4 percent in 1956. (46)

At the same time, pressure was building for the release of the Robertson panel report on UFOs. In 1956, Edward Ruppelt, former head of the Air Force BLUE BOOK project, publicly revealed the existence of the panel. A best-selling book by UFOlogist Donald Keyhoe, a retired Marine Corps major, advocated release of all government information relating to UFOs. Civilian UFO groups such as the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) and the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO) immediately pushed for release of the Robertson panel report. (47) Under pressure, the Air Force approached CIA for permission to declassify and release the report. Despite such pressure, Philip Strong, Deputy Assistant Director of OSI, refused to declassify the report and declined to disclose CIA sponsorship of the panel. As an alternative, the Agency prepared a sanitized version of the report which deleted any reference to CIA and avoided mention of any psychological warfare potential in the UFO controversy. (48)

The demands, however, for more government information about UFOs did not let up. On 8 March 1958, Keyhoe, in an interview with Mike Wallace of CBS, claimed deep CIA involvement with UFOs and Agency sponsorship of the Robertson panel. This prompted a series of letters to the Agency from Keyhoe and Dr. Leon Davidson, a chemical engineer and UFOlogist. They demanded the release of the full Robertson panel report and confirmation of CIA involvement in the UFO issue. Davidson had convinced himself that the Agency, not the Air Force, carried most of the responsibility for UFO analysis and that "the activities of the US Government are responsible for the flying saucer sightings of the last decade." Indeed, because of the undisclosed U-2 and OXCART flights, Davidson was closer to the truth than he suspected. CI, nevertheless held firm to its policy of not revealing its role in UFO investigations and refused to declassify the full Robertson panel report. (49)

In a meeting with Air Force representatives to discuss how to handle future inquires such as Keyhoe's and Davidson's, Agency officials confirmed their opposition to the declassification of the full report and worried that Keyhoe had the ear of former DCI VAdm. Roscoe Hillenkoetter, who served on the board of governors of NICAP. They debated whether to have CIA General Counsel Lawrence R. Houston show Hillenkoetter the report as a possible way to defuse the situation. CIA officer Frank Chapin also hinted that Davidson might have ulterior motives, "some of them perhaps not in the best interest of this country," and suggested bringing in the FBI to investigate. (50) Although the record is unclear whether the FBI ever instituted an investigation of Davidson or Keyhoe, or whether Houston ever saw Hillenkoetter about the Robertson report, Hillenkoetter did resign from the NICAP in 1962. (51)

The Agency was also involved with Davidson and Keyhoe in two rather famous UFO cases in the 1950s, which helped contribute to a growing sense of public distrust of CIA with regard to UFOs. One focused on what was reported to have been a tape recording of a radio signal from a flying saucer; the other on reported photographs of a flying saucer. The "radio code" incident began innocently enough in 1955, when two elderly sisters in Chicago, Mildred and Marie Maier, reported in the Journal of Space Flight their experiences with UFOs, including the recording of a radio program in which an unidentified code was reportedly heard. The sisters taped the program and other ham radio operators also claimed to have heard the "space message." OSI became interested and asked the Scientific Contact Branch to obtain a copy of the recording. (52)

Field officers from the Contact Division (CD), one of whom was Dewelt Walker, made contact with the Maier sisters, who were "thrilled that the government was interested," and set up a time to meet with them. (53) In trying to secure the tape recording, the Agency officers reported that they had stumbled upon a scene from Arsenic and Old Lace. "The only thing lacking was the elderberry wine," Walker cabled Headquarters. After reviewing the sisters' scrapbook of clippings from their days on the stage, the officers secured a copy of the recording. (54) OSI analyzed the tape and found it was nothing more than Morse code from a US radio station.

The matter rested there until UFOlogist Leon Davidson talked with the Maier sisters in 1957. The sisters remembered they had talked with a Mr. Walker who said he was from the US Air Force. Davidson then wrote to a Mr. Walker, believing him to be a US Air Force Intelligence Officer from Wright-Patterson, to ask if the tape had been analyzed at ATIC. Dewelt Walker replied to Davidson that the tape had been forwarded to proper authorities for evaluation, and no information was available concerning the results. Not satisfied, and suspecting that Walker was really a CIA officer, Davidson next wrote DCI Allen Dulles demanding to learn what the coded message revealed and who Mr. Walker was. (55) The Agency, wanting to keep Walker's identity as a CIA employee secret, replied that another agency of the government had analyzed the tape in question and that Davidson would be hearing from the Air Force. (56) On 5 August, the Air Force wrote Davidson saying that Walker "was and is an Air Force Officer" and that the tape "was analyzed by another government organization." The Air Force letter confirmed that the recording contained only identifiable Morse code which came from a known US-licensed radio station. (57)

Davidson wrote Dulles again. This time he wanted to know the identity of the Morse operator and of the agency that had conducted the analysis. CIA and the Air Force were now in a quandary. The Agency had previously denied that it had actually analyzed the tape. The Air Force had also denied analyzing the tape and claimed that Walker was an Air Force officer. CIA officers, under cover, contacted Davidson in Chicago and promised to get the code translation and the identification of the transmitter, if possible. (58)

In another attempt to pacify Davidson, a CIA officer, again under cover and wearing his Air Force uniform, contacted Davidson in New York City. The CIA officer explained that there was no super agency involved and that Air Force policy was not to disclose who was doing what. While seeming to accept this argument, Davidson nevertheless pressed for disclosure of the recording message and the source. The officer agreed to see what he could do. (59) After checking with Headquarters, the CIA officer phoned Davidson to report that a thorough check had been made and, because the signal was of known US origin, the tape and the notes made at the time had been destroyed to conserve file space. (60)

Incensed over what he perceived was a runaround, Davidson told the CIA officer that "he and his agency, whichever it was, were acting like Jimmy Hoffa and the Teamster Union in destroying records which might indict them." (61) Believing that any more contact with Davidson would only encourage more speculation, the Contact Division washed its hands of the issue by reporting to the DCI and to ATIC that it would not respond to or try to contact Davidson again. (62) Thus, a minor, rather bizarre incident, handled poorly by both CIA and the Air Force, turned into a major flap that added fuel to the growing mystery surrounding UFOs and CIA's role in their investigation.

Another minor flap a few months later added to the growing questions surrounding the Agency's true role with regard to flying saucers. CIA's concern over secrecy again made matters worse. In 1958, Major Keyhoe charged that the Agency was deliberately asking eyewitnesses of UFOs not to make their sightings public. (63)

The incident stemmed from a November 1957 request from OSI to the CD to obtain from Ralph C. Mayher, a photographer for KYW-TV in Cleveland, Ohio, certain photographs he took in 1952 of an unidentified flying object. Harry Real, a CD officer, contacted Mayher and obtained copies of the photographs for analysis. On 12 December 1957, John Hazen, another CD officer, returned the five photographs of the alleged UFO to Mayher without comment. Mayher asked Hazen for the Agency's evaluation of the photos, explaining that he was trying to organize a TV program to brief the public on UFOs. He wanted to mention on the show that a US intelligence organization had viewed the photographs and thought them of interest. Although he advised Mayher not to take this approach, Hazen stated that Mayher was a US citizen and would have to make his own decision as to what to do. (64)

Keyhoe later contacted Mayher, who told him his story of CIA and the photographs. Keyhoe then asked the Agency to confirm Hazen's employment in writing, in an effort to expose CIA's role in UFO investigations. The Agency refused, despite the fact that CD field representatives were normally overt and carried credentials identifying their Agency association. DCI Dulles's aide, John S. Earman, merely sent Keyhoe a noncommittal letter noting that, because UFOs were of primary concern to the Department of the Air Force, the Agency had referred his letter to the Air Force for an appropriate response. Like the response to Davidson, the Agency reply to Keyhoe only fueled the speculation that the Agency was deeply involved in UFO sightings. Pressure for release of CIA information on UFOs continued to grow. (65)

Although CIA had a declining interest in UFO cases, it continued to monitor UFO sightings. Agency officials felt the need to keep informed on UFOs if only to alert the DCI to the more sensational UFO reports and flaps. (66)

The 1960s: Declining CIA Involvement and Mounting Controversy

In the early 1960s, Keyhoe, Davidson, and other UFOlogists maintained their assault on the Agency for release of UFO information. Davidson now claimed that CIA "was solely responsible for creating the Flying Saucer furor as a tool for cold war psychological warfare since 1951." Despite calls for Congressional hearings and the release of all materials relating to UFOs, little changed. (67)

In 1964, however, following high-level White House discussions on what to do if an alien intelligence was discovered in space and a new outbreak of UFO reports and sightings, DCI John McCone asked for an updated CIA evaluation of UFOs. Responding to McCone's request, OSI asked the CD to obtain various recent samples and reports of UFO sightings from NICAP. With Keyhoe, one of the founders, no longer active in the organization, CIA officers met with Richard H. Hall, the acting director. Hall gave the officers samples from the NICAP database on the most recent sightings. (68)

After OSI officers had reviewed the material, Donald F. Chamberlain, OSI Assistant Director, assured McCone that little had changed since the early 1950s. There was still no evidence that UFOs were a threat to the security of the United States or that they were of "foreign origin." Chamberlain told McCone that OSI still monitored UFO reports, including the official Air Force investigation, Project BLUE BOOK. (69)

At the same time that CIA was conducting this latest internal review of UFOs, public pressure forced the Air Force to establish a special ad hoc committee to review BLUE BOOK. Chaired by Dr. Brian O'Brien, a member of the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board, the panel included Carl Sagan, the famous astronomer from Cornell University. Its report offered nothing new. It declared that UFOs did not threaten the national security and that it could find "no UFO case which represented technological or scientific advances outside of a terrestrial framework." The committee did recommend that UFOs be studied intensively, with a leading university acting as a coordinator for the project, to settle the issue conclusively. (70)

The House Armed Services Committee also held brief hearings on UFOs in 1966 that produced similar results. Secretary of the Air Force Harold Brown assured the committee that most sightings were easily explained and that there was no evidence that "strangers from outer space" had been visiting Earth. He told the committee members, however, that the Air Force would keep an open mind and continue to investigate all UFO reports. (71)

Following the report of its O'Brien Committee, the House hearings on UFOs, and Dr. Robertson's disclosure on a CBS Reports program that CIA indeed had been involved in UFO analysis, the Air Force in July 1966 again approached the Agency for declassification of the entire Robertson panel report of 1953 and the full Durant report on the Robertson panel deliberations and findings. The Agency again refused to budge. Karl H. Weber, Deputy Director of OSI, wrote the Air Force that "We are most anxious that further publicity not be given to the information that the panel was sponsored by the CIA." Weber noted that there was already a sanitized version available to the public. (72) Weber's response was rather shortsighted and ill considered. It only drew more attention to the 13-year-old Robertson panel report and CIA's role in the investigation of UFOs. The science editor of The Saturday Review drew nationwide attention to the CIA's role in investigating UFOs when he published an article criticizing the "sanitized version" of the 1953 Robertson panel report and called for release of the entire document. (73)

Unknown to CIA officials, Dr. James E. McDonald, a noted atmospheric physicist from the University of Arizona, had already seen the Durant report on the Robertson panel proceedings at Wright-Patterson on 6 June 1966. When McDonald returned to Wright-Patterson on 30 June to copy the report, however, the Air Force refused to let him see it again, stating that it was a CIA classified document. Emerging as a UFO authority, McDonald publicly claimed that the CIA was behind the Air Force secrecy policies and coverup. He demanded the release of the full Robertson panel report and the Durant report. (74)

Bowing to public pressure and the recommendation of its own O'Brien Committee, the Air Force announced in August 1966 that it was seeking a contract with a leading university to undertake a program of intensive investigations of UFO sightings. The new program was designed to blunt continuing charges that the US Government had concealed what it knew about UFOs. On 7 October, the University of Colorado accepted a $325,000 contract with the Air Force for an 18-month study of flying saucers. Dr. Edward U. Condon, a physicist at Colorado and a former Director of the National Bureau of Standards, agreed to head the program. Pronouncing himself an "agnostic" on the subject of UFOs, Condon observed that he had an open mind on the question and thought that possible extraterritorial origins were "improbable but not impossible." (75) Brig. Gen. Edward Giller, USAF, and Dr. Thomas Ratchford from the Air Force Research and Development Office became the Air Force coordinators for the project.

In February 1967, Giller contacted Arthur C. Lundahl, Director of CIA's National Photographic Interpretation Center (NPIC), and proposed an informal liaison through which NPIC could provide the Condon Committee with technical advice and services in examining photographs of alleged UFOs. Lundahl and DDI R. Jack Smith approved the arrangement as a way of "preserving a window" on the new effort. They wanted the CIA and NPIC to maintain a low profile, however, and to take no part in writing any conclusions for the committee. No work done for the committee by NPIC was to be formally acknowledged. (76)

Ratchford next requested that Condon and his committee be allowed to visit NPIC to discuss the technical aspects of the problem and to view the special equipment NPIC had for photoanalysis. On 20 February 1967, Condon and four members of his committee visited NPIC. Lundahl emphasized to the group that any NPIC work to assist the committee must not be identified as CIA work. Moreover, work performed by NPIC would be strictly of a technical nature. After receiving these guidelines, the group heard a series of briefings on the services and equipment not available elsewhere that CIA had used in its analysis of some UFO photography furnished by Ratchford. Condon and his committee were impressed. (77)

Condon and the same group met again in May 1967 at NPIC to hear an analysis of UFO photographs taken at Zanesville, Ohio. The analysis debunked that sighting. The committee was again impressed with the technical work performed, and Condon remarked that for the first time a scientific analysis of a UFO would stand up to investigation. (78) The group also discussed the committee's plans to call on US citizens for additional photographs and to issue guidelines for taking useful UFO photographs. In addition, CIA officials agreed that the Condon Committee could release the full Durant report with only minor deletions.

In April 1969, Condon and his committee released their report on UFOs. The report concluded that little, if anything, had come from the study of UFOs in the past 21 years and that further extensive study of UFO sightings was unwarranted. It also recommended that the Air Force special unit, Project BLUE BOOK, be discontinued. It did not mention CIA participation in the Condon committee's investigation. (79) A special panel established by the National Academy of Sciences reviewed the Condon report and concurred with its conclusion that "no high priority in UFO investigations is warranted by data of the past two decades." It concluded its review by declaring, "On the basis of present knowledge, the least likely explanation of UFOs is the hypothesis of extraterrestrial visitations by intelligent beings." Following the recommendations of the Condon Committee and the National Academy of Sciences, the Secretary of the Air Force, Robert C. Seamans, Jr., announced on 17 December 1969 the termination of BLUE BOOK. (80)

CIA's Role in the Study of UFOs, 1947-90  - PART II

A Die-Hard Issue

Gerald K. Haines

The 1970s and 1980s: The UFO Issue Refuses To Die

The Condon report did not satisfy many UFOlogists, who considered it a coverup for CIA activities in UFO research. Additional sightings in the early 1970s fueled beliefs that the CIA was somehow involved in a vast conspiracy. On 7 June 1975, William Spaulding, head of a small UFO group, Ground Saucer Watch (GSW), wrote to CIA requesting a copy of the Robertson panel report and all records relating to UFOs. (81) Spaulding was convinced that the Agency was withholding major files on UFOs. Agency officials provided Spaulding with a copy of the Robertson panel report and of the Durant report. (82)

On 14 July 1975, Spaulding again wrote the Agency questioning the authenticity of the reports he had received and alleging a CIA coverup of its UFO activities. Gene Wilson, CIA's Information and Privacy Coordinator, replied in an attempt to satisfy Spaulding, "At no time prior to the formation of the Robertson Panel and subsequent to the issuance of the panel's report has CIA engaged in the study of the UFO phenomena." The Robertson panel report, according to Wilson, was "the summation of Agency interest and involvement in UFOs." Wilson also inferred that there were no additional documents in CIA's possession that related to UFOs. Wilson was ill informed. (83)

In September 1977, Spaulding and GSW, unconvinced by Wilson's response, filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Agency that specifically requested all UFO documents in CIA's possession. Deluged by similar FOIA requests for Agency information on UFOs, CIA officials agreed, after much legal maneuvering, to conduct a "reasonable search" of CIA files for UFO materials. (84) Despite an Agency-wide unsympathetic attitude toward the suit, Agency officials, led by Launie Ziebell from the Office of General Counsel, conducted a thorough search for records pertaining to UFOs. Persistent, demanding, and even threatening at times, Ziebell and his group scoured the Agency. They even turned up an old UFO file under a secretary's desk. The search finally produced 355 documents totaling approximately 900 pages. On 14 December 1978, the Agency released all but 57 documents of about 100 pages to GSW. It withheld these 57 documents on national security grounds and to protect sources and methods. (85)

Although the released documents produced no smoking gun and revealed only a low-level Agency interest in the UFO phenomena after the Robertson panel report of 1953, the press treated the release in a sensational manner. The New York Times, for example, claimed that the declassified documents confirmed intensive government concern over UFOs and that the Agency was secretly involved in the surveillance of UFOs. (86) GSW then sued for the release of the withheld documents, claiming that the Agency was still holding out key information. (87) It was much like the John F. Kennedy assassination issue. No matter how much material the Agency released and no matter how dull and prosaic the information, people continued to believe in a Agency coverup and conspiracy.

DCI Stansfield Turner was so upset when he read The New York Times article that he asked his senior officers, "Are we in UFOs?" After reviewing the records, Don Wortman, Deputy Director for Administration, reported to Turner that there was "no organized Agency effort to do research in connection with UFO phenomena nor has there been an organized effort to collect intelligence on UFOs since the 1950s." Wortman assured Turner that the Agency records held only "sporadic instances of correspondence dealing with the subject," including various kinds of reports of UFO sightings. There was no Agency program to collect actively information on UFOs, and the material released to GSW had few deletions. (88) Thus assured, Turner had the General Counsel press for a summary judgment against the new lawsuit by GSW. In May 1980, the courts dismissed the lawsuit, finding that the Agency had conducted a thorough and adequate search in good faith. (89)

During the late 1970s and 1980s, the Agency continued its low-key interest in UFOs and UFO sightings. While most scientists now dismissed flying saucers reports as a quaint part of the 1950s and 1960s, some in the Agency and in the Intelligence Community shifted their interest to studying parapsychology and psychic phenomena associated with UFO sightings. CIA officials also looked at the UFO problem to determine what UFO sightings might tell them about Soviet progress in rockets and missiles and reviewed its counterintelligence aspects. Agency analysts from the Life Science Division of OSI and OSWR officially devoted a small amount of their time to issues relating to UFOs. These included counterintelligence concerns that the Soviets and the KGB were using US citizens and UFO groups to obtain information on sensitive US weapons development programs (such as the Stealth aircraft), the vulnerability of the US air-defense network to penetration by foreign missiles mimicking UFOs, and evidence of Soviet advanced technology associated with UFO sightings.

CIA also maintained Intelligence Community coordination with other agencies regarding their work in parapsychology, psychic phenomena, and "remote viewing" experiments. In general, the Agency took a conservative scientific view of these unconventional scientific issues. There was no formal or official UFO project within the Agency in the 1980s, and Agency officials purposely kept files on UFOs to a minimum to avoid creating records that might mislead the public if released. (90)

The 1980s also produced renewed charges that the Agency was still withholding documents relating to the 1947 Roswell incident, in which a flying saucer supposedly crashed in New Mexico, and the surfacing of documents which purportedly revealed the existence of a top secret US research and development intelligence operation responsible only to the President on UFOs in the late 1940s and early 1950s. UFOlogists had long argued that, following a flying saucer crash in New Mexico in 1947, the government not only recovered debris from the crashed saucer but also four or five alien bodies. According to some UFOlogists, the government clamped tight security around the project and has refused to divulge its investigation results and research ever since. (91) In September 1994, the US Air Force released a new report on the Roswell incident that concluded that the debris found in New Mexico in 1947 probably came from a once top secret balloon operation, Project MOGUL, designed to monitor the atmosphere for evidence of Soviet nuclear tests. (92)

Circa 1984, a series of documents surfaced which some UFOlogists said proved that President Truman created a top secret committee in 1947, Majestic-12, to secure the recovery of UFO wreckage from Roswell and any other UFO crash sight for scientific study and to examine any alien bodies recovered from such sites. Most if not all of these documents have proved to be fabrications. Yet the controversy persists. (93)

Like the JFK assassination conspiracy theories, the UFO issue probably will not go away soon, no matter what the Agency does or says. The belief that we are not alone in the universe is too emotionally appealing and the distrust of our government is too pervasive to make the issue amenable to traditional scientific studies of rational explanation and evidence.

Peterson and Friedman wanted to know the reasons for the redactions. Woolsey agreed to look into the matter. See Richard J.

See also Good, Above Top Secret, p. 253. During World War II, US pilots reported "foo fighters" (bright lights trailing US aircraft). Fearing they might be Japanese or German secret weapons, OSS investigated but could find no concrete evidence of enemy weapons and often filed such reports in the "crackpot" category. The OSS also investigated possible sightings of German V-1 and V-2 rockets before their operational use during the war. See Jacobs, UFO Controversy, p. 33. The Central Intelligence Group, the predecessor of the CIA, also monitored reports of "ghost rockets" in Sweden in 1946. See CIG, Intelligence Report, 9 April 1947.

This author found almost no documentation on Agency involvement with UFOs in the 1980s.

There is a DIA Psychic Center and the NSA studies parapsychology, that branch of psychology that deals with the investigation of such psychic phenomena as clairvoyance, extrasensory perception, and telepathy. The CIA reportedly is also a member of an Incident Response Team to investigate UFO landings, if one should occur. This team has never met. The lack of solid CIA documentation on Agency UFO-related activities in the 1980s leaves the entire issue somewhat murky for this period.

Much of the UFO literature presently focuses on contactees and abductees. See John E. Mack, Abduction, Human Encounters with Aliens (New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1994) and Howard Blum, Out There (New York: Simon and Schuster, 1990).

Dr. Larry Bland, editor of The George C. Marshall Papers, discovered that one of the so-called Majestic-12 documents was a complete fraud. It contained the exact same language as a letter from Marshall to Presidential candidate Thomas Dewey regarding the "Magic" intercepts in 1944. The dates and names had been altered and "Magic" changed to "Majic." Moreover, it was a photocopy, not an original. No original MJ-12 documents have ever surfaced.

BEAM FROM STRANGE CFRAFT WITNESSED OVER THE OHIO RIVER

BEAM FROM A STRANGE CRAFT WITNESSED OVER THE OHIO RIVER

JUNE 8, 2013   …………..  YANKEETOWN INDIANA

My nephew and I went fishing on the Indiana side of the Ohio River on Saturday June 8th. We were sitting on the north side of the river just east of a large power plant and factory on a dirt road running adjacent to the river.  At sometime around 9 pm I noticed a bright light above the Kentucky side of the river. Jokingly, I said to my nephew that here comes a UFO and went back to fishing and didn’t give the light another thought.  Earlier a plane had flown over coming from that general direction and I assumed it was another plane coming from the Owensboro area. Shortly afterward, my nephew said “what the hell is that?” He was pointing at the light which was now pulsating rapidly and moving up, then down but was hovering; then it moved from our southeast to the east over the river.  The object was maybe 1 mile away when it went over the river. The object would hover and move up and down and the light would pulsate and get very bright then dim until it just either faded out or moved directly away from us rapidly and disappeared.  Needless to say, we were astounded by what we had just witnessed and kept our eye on the general area where we last saw it.

Maybe five or ten minutes later the object reappeared in the same general area that we first saw it and this time it was over the tree line closer to the river than earlier.  The object became very bright and intense and a beam of light came down and thru the trees. It didn’t appear to move at this time, but just hover. The object became so intensely bright that it cast a reflection on the river and you could plainly see the bright object and the beam in the reflection.  This lasted maybe 1-2 minutes, then the beam stopped and the object began to move from the southeast toward the east.  As the object moved it became dimmer and either moved directly away from us or just faded out of view. We stood there on the river bank amazed at what we saw and could not come up with a valid explanation of what we saw.  We saw what might have been the same object but much farther away again; maybe 5 to 10 minutes later in the same area. I would estimate the total time from the first sighting to the last as at least 20 minutes. 

There were a few boats on the river; both private and barges that we could see. This was also much closer to the Boonville Boat club which is a large area of river camps and I would think that we were not the only ones to see this object.

Mysterious crop circle in Rauwiller

A strange phenomenon occurred between Rauwiller and Goerlingen in close Diemeringen. A crop circle of thirty meters in diameter appeared in the middle of a wheat field. Considered by some as the work forces from elsewhere, these achievements are usually made by man. Who has created this? The mystery remains. http://www.republicain-lorrain.fr/multimedia/2015/06/11/photos

The account of the sighting at 8.20pm on September 3 says there was a  floating ‘large bright pink light’ from which ‘two small pieces’ broke off.

The viewer then reports that it  ‘accelerated and disappeared’.

According to an official report just released to the public by the MoD, other strange occurrences included a ‘very bright light’ which ‘zig zagged across the sky’ in Millbrook and Torpoint, last May.

US Air Force Admits They Can Control Weather

The US Air Force and DARPA would like us to believe that they have stopped using HAARP in Alaska for research and experiment. Even then, we all know that there are other HAARP systems out there in the form of radar communication and surveillance systems that are rigged on top of mobile platforms that are deployable anywhere in the world.

All they need to do is twist a button to change the frequency and increase transmission power enough to heat up the atmosphere above the target.

Unnatural weather patterns suggest HAARP is still here.

Air Force Bombshell: Admits They Can Control Weather – HAARP

While HAARP and weather control has been called a conspiracy theory by the mainstream media and government officials, during a Senate hearing on Wednesday, David Walker, deputy assistant secretary of the Air Force for science, technology and engineering, dropped a bombshell in answer to a question asked by Lisa Murkowski in relation to the dismantling of the $300 million High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program in Gakona this summer.

Walker said this is “not an area that we have any need for in the future” and it would not be a good use of Air Force research funds to keep HAARP going. “We’re moving on to other ways of managing the ionosphere, which the HAARP was really designed to do,” he said. “To inject energy into the ionosphere to be able to actually control it. But that work has been completed.”

Many believe HAARP was created and has been used for weather control, with enough juice to trigger hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes and comments such as this bring about the question of whether conspiracy theorists are more on target than anyone has admitted to date.

This is not the first time a public official has acknowledged that HAARP and weather control is not only possible, but has been and continues to be, used as a “super weapon,” as evidenced by a statement in 1997 by former U.S. Defense Secretary William Cohen, where he said “Others [terrorists] are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves… So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations…It’s real, and that’s the reason why we have to intensify our [counterterrorism] efforts.”

Is it still just a conspiracy theory if public officials admit it is true?

'World War 3 has begun': Mystery mushroom cloud sparks Armageddon panic as 'nuclear' pics go vira

 The mass cloud was spotted and shot by amateur photographers - the images have gone viral online

Mushroom menace: A massive cloud sparks Russian nuclear attack panic

The appearance of a giant mushroom cloud over a Russian city has sparked panic - with social media in a flurry about whether World War III is starting.

The mass cloud in Tyumen in south central Russia was spotted and shot by amateur photographers across the area, with images quickly going viral online.

Instagram user Alexander Bogdanov posted a picture with the caption: "World War III has begun. I photographed it from my window."

Mass panic: Locals in Russia thought Armageddon had come when they saw this giant mushroom cloud appear in the sky

MyraYer posted online: "Crazy b******s!!! This is the end," while Oleg Alexeeva tweeted: "Oh, God save us. What have they done?!!!"

The huge cloud stopped motorists on roads around the town, who took pictures and feared the worst.

But a man told the Daily Star: "I think someone would have said something if we suddenly found ourselves under nuclear attack.

The relationship between Vladamir Putin's men and America has been deteriorating, with the British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond commenting on the "worrying signs" on Russia's nuclear.

This week officials in the U.K. announced Britain may be pressured into giving berth for American nuclear missiles in what could end up as a Cold War-style arms race.

Explosive shot: Pictures of the cloud went viral on social media in Russia

The only two nuclear missiles ever used in war were dropped by America in the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, where they caused mass destruction and 129,000 people.

There has been no official word on what caused the cloud to form over Tyumen.

This Incredible Underground Secret Is As Mysterious As It Is Beautiful (Video)

(Before It's News)

In 1835, a laborer in Kent, England, was doing his usual field work. What wasn’t so usual was when he struck the soil with his spade and it just disappeared into the Earth. Apparently, he was standing on something hollow, but from the surface, could see nothing.

Word spread, and a local schoolteacher soon volunteered his young son, Joshua, to be lowered into the hole with a candle. If you think dipping your child into a mysterious cavern in the Earth seems a bit, well, unsafe, we do, too. Luckily, Joshua was fine, and what he saw underground was a breathtaking mystery.

When Joshua was pulled out, he described rooms filled with hundreds of thousands of carefully arranged shells.

Kuriositas

 

Kuriositas

 

Kuriositas

Needless to say, the adults were a bit skeptical, but when the hole was widened and they saw if for themselves, they were stunned. There was a passage, a rotunda, and an altar chamber, and the whole thing was covered in a mosaic of shells.

 

Kuriositas

 Joshua’s father, the schoolteacher, immediately thought of the financial benefit that this place might have. He quickly bought up the land and began renovating the grotto, making it suitable for visitors. Two years later, in 1837, the Margate Shell Grotto opened to the public for the first time. And he was right; it did catch on with the public, and it’s still open and enjoying visitors today. Today, it’s also got a museum, gift shop, and cafe.

But there’s still a major question hanging in the air: who built this, and why?

Kuriositas

Kuriositas

With all these shells so carefully arranged, it’s clear that someone spent a lot of time — and money — on this creation. The shells are arranged in sun and star shapes, and vaulted ceilings and altar-like spaces lead some to believe it once had religious significance. Yet no one knows for sure, and no one is even sure how old the structure is.

Theories about its origin place it as being built as long as 3,000 years ago.

Kuriositas

Other theories also run the gamut between ordinary and totally out there. Some think it was created as an aristocrat’s folly sometime in the 1700s. Others think it might have been used as an astrological calendar, or that it’s connected with the Freemasons or the Knights Templar. Still, others maintain it is connected to a mysterious Mexican culture that lived some 12,000 years ago.

 

Shell grottoes were actually quite popular in Europe in the 1700s among the wealthy.

Kuriositas

There’s only one catch: the Grotto’s location was on farmland, and that land has never been part of a large estate, where follies would have been built. Even in 1835, there was no record of its construction, which would have been a major undertaking. People have been so stumped by this that in the 1930s, people held seances in the hopes of contacting the spirits of whoever built it.

Visitors from the 1930s left their mark on some scallop shells in the grotto.

Kuriositas

The shells in the grotto, which include scallops, whelks, mussels, cockles, limpets, and oysters, can all be found locally. Only the flat winkle shells had to be brought in from elsewhere.

The arrangement of the shells must have taken countless hours of painstaking work.

Kuriositas

In all, there are over 2,000 square feet of shell mosaic in the grotto.

Many of the shells in the grotto have faded over time and lost their luster through water damage. This recreation shows what they might have looked like at the time the grotto was built. It would have been full of dazzling color.

Kuriositas

 (via Kuriositas, Wikipedia)

To determine the age of the shells, they could be carbon dated. However, on the Shell Grotto’s FAQ page, it’s stated that this process is very expensive, and other conservation issues are currently prioritized. Perhaps one day, we’ll at least know when this was built. For now, our imaginations can run wild with all the possibilities of the Shell Grotto’s mysterious past. Was it a smuggler’s hideout? A secret temple? An underground party room? The life’s work of a madman? Whatever it was, someone obviously cared about it enough to decorate it like this.

The Lost Continent of Mu: Home of the Giants?

(Before It's News)

Lemuria or “Mu” is often referred to as a lost continent in the Pacific. Interestingly, we have long pondered how many managed to find his way across. We know that Patagonia tribes were related to the Australia aboriginal people and the Denisovans managed to impart their DNA on South Pacificers, but how? Should this legend of a lost continent be true, it might explain the “wide ocean” treks in ancient times.

Let's begin with the legend of Lemuria. In fact, the Denisovans might be evidence of this. Here's why - 

The South Pacificers have legends of their ancestors coming from a continent in the Pacific. Evidence of Denisovans were found in a cave in Siberia. The assumption is that Denisovans, who lived there in the cave where their finger bone and molar were found, lived alongside Neanderthal and Homo sapiens (40,000 years ago), but what if they were from another region and had traveled there? What if the reasons South Pacific people believe their ancestors came from a now missing continent is that they did! Denisovan DNA shows up in people of the South Pacific and Australian aboriginal people and very likely the Patagonian tribes believed to be related to and influenced by the Australian aborigines. 

The legend says that these people of the continent of Lemuria were psychic. It was said to be thriving 14,000 years ago which is interesting, as well, because of older and older findings in the Americas of man being there long before the last ice age. 

The Lemurians, it was said, realized a great cataclysm or flood was coming. It was said they had thousands of years of warning and were to spread their vast knowledge around the world so that it would remembered in the very cells of the humans. They were also said to have stored information in crystals. These recording crystals were placed in caves deep in the earth. These people began to go underground and live there in protection from the cataclysm. When the floods ended, they emerged. 

This reminds me a lot of the Hopi legend of the ant people who emerged from the ground and helped them from a cataclysm. It also reminds me of the legend of the supposed giants tombs in the Grand Canyon that showed they were storing seeds and more as if cataloging their existence. The same was said of the supposed Death Valley giants cave supposedly discovered in the first half of the 20th Century in which supposedly animals were stored to archive, as well. 

It was said that holy people around the earth went underground during that time. This is really intriguing to me because we speak often of very purposeful sites of stone megalith monuments and their purpose. What if their purpose was to mark the entry point at which these holy people entered the earth in their hiding. Perhaps this would have been a way to mark the site of their ancient civilization and perhaps if we latter humans figured it out, understand these are entry points, not necessarily some ancient astronaut construct.

Source:  Many believe that Easter Island was part of Lemuria. Its hundreds of colossal stone statues and written language point to an advanced culture, yet it appeared on the world’s most remote spot. The legends of Easter Island speak of Hiva which sank beneath the waves as people fled.

Grey metallic Triangle-Shaped UFO photographed over Adrian, Georgia (Photos)

(Before It's News)

As I always take pictures of clouds I stopped the car and stepped out of the car to take a second picture of the cloud. At first I did not notice the object, just the cloud.

To my amazement, I seen this grey metallic triangle-shaped object, with the top disappeared in the clouds. I did not even hear anything when I stepped out of the car to take a picture with my cell phone.

It is not a reflection. One picture I took through the windshield of my car and the 2nd picture was taken outside my car. Mufon case 66348.

The first image:
Image left is the original one photographed through the windshield. Image right is the original one photographed outside the car.

2 miljard jaar oude kernreactor in Afrika laat zien dat moeder natuur nog steeds verrassingen voor ons in petto heeft

In de jaren zeventig werden in Afrika de restanten gevonden van bijna twee miljard jaar oude kernreactoren. Men vermoedt dat deze reactoren een natuurlijke oorsprong hebben.

Vandaag de dag komen zulke natuurlijke reactoren niet meer voor, aangezien de relatieve dichtheid van splijtbaar uranium door radioactief verval zover is afgenomen dat een zichzelf instandhoudende reactie niet meer mogelijk is.

De foto toont Fossiele Reactor 15, die in Oklo in Gabon is gevonden. De Fransen winnen daar al heel lang uranium-235, het enige type uranium dat voor kernsplijting gebruikt kan worden. Uraniumoxide is nog steeds zichtbaar als het gelige gesteente.

Moeilijk voorstelbaar

Groot was de schok in 1970 toen een lading aankwam zonder uranium-235. Was iemand hen voor geweest? De Franse geoloog Neuilly had een verklaring, maar werd nauwelijks geloofd. Volgens hem had een spontane kernreactie in de bodem al het uranium-235 opgebruikt. Het was in die tijd moeilijk voorstelbaar dat de natuur de ingenieurs was voor geweest.

Enige jaren geleden concludeerden natuurkundigen van de Washington-universiteit in St. Louis dat de ondergrondse massa uraniumerts 150.000 jaar lang heeft gefunctioneerd als een kernreactor van 100 kilowatt, die zichzelf om de paar uur aan en uit zette.

Meer plekken

In de zoutlagen in de bodem zijn enorme hoeveelheden xenon aangetroffen. Xenon komt vrij bij kernsplijting en kan alleen in de zoutkristallen zijn opgenomen als de reactorkern af en toe onder water stond. Water is nodig om een kernreactie gaande te houden.

Water uit een naburige rivier sijpelde in de poreuze kalksteen waarin het uraniumoxide zich bevond en bracht de kernreactie op gang. Wetenschappers stellen dat dergelijke kernreactoren op meer plekken hebben bestaan.

UFO Loch Ness Sighting: Mystery Craft Hovering Above Scottish Tourist Spot

Unidentified Flying Object sightings keep on coming amidst debates and arguments over its nature and existence. While there are believers, there are also thousands of non-believers. Therefore, all sightings receive extreme comments.

Recently, a family on a vacation has admitted seeing two strange disc-shaped objects hovering in their camera over Loch Ness in Scotland. The photo was taken by Tatiana, right after Alan and Anna returned in York to snap some pictures in the holiday. Without a doubt, Betts couple was astonished when they see two strange objects. Alan, a director of a Bradford-based refrigeration company, said he was cynical about UFOs. When he asked about the spooky photo, he couldn’t offer any logical explanation. He further added that during that night, Yuka, the name of their dog, was looking at the window and barking at the sky. They noticed some unusual occurrences during that time.

Tatiana was compelled to take a photo because of the change in the appearance of the sky. At first, the sky has a constant sunshine and appears normal. Hours after, it suddenly changed. The changes were not that noticeable to residents unless you have the nerve to look at the window. Take note that it wasn’t the first time a strange object has spotted above the loch. An unexplained object in 2011 was seen fleeing hundreds of feet over waterline by witnesses.

Regardless of what people believed in the past, UFO sightings are regular occurrences. With the advancement of technology, more UFO sightings are being captured. Such technology like recording devices is being authenticated by experts from a variety of fields. UFO sightings caught hovering above the Scottish tourist spot could not be seen without it. Whatever beliefs may be, it is only a matter of time before unquestionable evidence of unidentified flying objects is being collected.

Shishis captures images of shape-changing object over his Oshawa home

On Sunday June 7, 2015, Paul Shishis was outside on the deck of his home in Oshawa, Ontario when he noticed something odd in the sky.

The object Paul Shishis captured on film on the morning of June 7, 2015 kept changing its shape. This is one of them.

Paul Shishis

View all 6 photos

It was “a beautiful day,” he said adding, “My purpose was to see anything unusual in the sky as it was so clear.”

First he observed “ a loud two-engine plane circling around the sky and then a few minutes later, a hawk circling the area” as well as a seagull.”

Shishis decided to take some pictures to capture them and to see if anything else was present.

“At 11:07 am, I noticed a slow flashing white light – as illustrated in the picture with the seagull. As I watched it coming from the west heading a few hundred yards north of my position and a couple thousand feet in altitude, I started to take still shots, until it reached near my house.”

Shishis said it then turned northward “at a greater speed until it was out of sight. That’s when I started to video tape it flashing this white light under 30 seconds, as I lost sight of it.”

When he examined the still shots, it’s color besides bright white, appeared bright yellow.” He was also mystified by the different shapes of the object he managed to capture on film.

That aspect “has me scratching my head,” he said.

At first, he thought the object was just a balloon but can't imagine why it not only changed shape so many times but also in some of the photos, it appeared to have a flashing white light.

Although there appears to be what might be a string in some of the photos indicating that it could be a balloon, upon closer inspection, it seems to be more of a vapor trail.

Ceres Mysterious Lights Still "Baffle" NASA Scientists

Mapping 90 years of UFO sightings: Fireballs are most commonly seen, while egg-shaped craft are rarer - and Maine is a hotspot

• Expert has created a map of the US showing UFO sightings based on National UFO Reporting Centre data
• Chart reveals UFO sightings of fireballs are increasingly common - and the most prevalent type of craft seen
• The data shows how there seem to be 'fashions' in UFO sightings, such as minimalist disks in the 1950s
• Most UFOS are spotted in July, because people are outside and are typically seen between 9pm and 10pm

By Sarah Griffiths for MailOnline

Some people may roll their eyes at the idea of UFO sightings, while others are certain they have seen alien craft.

Now a data visualisation expert has created a map of the US showing almost 90 years of official UFO sightings, including information such as the time of day they are typically noticed in different months.

The data also reveals that UFO sightings of fireballs are the most common, while egg-shaped craft are the rarest over time.

A data visualisation expert has created a map of the US showing almost 90 years of UFO sightings, including information such as they time of day they are typically noticed in different months. This map shows sightings per capita

John Nelson combined census data with statistics compiled between 1925 and 2014 by the National UFO Reporting Centre to make his maps.

‘Of course, as is the case for any observation data, there is a strong tendency towards echoing a population map’ he wrote on his blog.

‘This is certainly the case with this sighting data, as well. In order to visualise the actual sighting phenomenon, I needed to normalise by the underlying population.’

To do this, he created a map showing sightings by population density, as well as maps based on more complex calculations to build the most accurate maps he could.

Mr Nelson also used the data to create a chart showing UFO shape by sightings, as well as the times which alien craft are commonly spotted. This chart shows that fireball-like UFOs are most commonly seen, while egg-shaped craft are rarer

Mr Nelson said that more fireball-shaped UFOs have been sighted recently, compared to the previously popular disk-shaped craft (illustrated with a stock image), which are popular in sci-fi films such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind  

States where UFO sightings are most common include Maine, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, which happens to include Area 51 and New Mexico - the location of the famous Roswell Incident occurred in 1947.

The US military claimed they recovered a secret research balloon that had crashed, but conspiracy theorists say the wreckage of an alien craft was discovered and hidden.

Mr Nelson also used the data to create a chart showing UFO shape by sightings, as well as the times when alien craft are commonly spotted.

‘Most interesting to me is the variability of our concepts of shape and how they reflect our own changing notions of design and certainty through recent decades,’ he told MailOnline.

He said that more fireball-shaped UFOs have been sighted recently, compared to the previously popular disk-shaped craft, which are popular in sci-fi films such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

'Physically analogous shapes like Disk and Egg? So mid-century materialist chic,' he explained. 'Uncertainty? So late-century neo-relativism. Flaming lights? Such millennial clarity. 

'No matter the phenomenon, crowd sourced data tends toward a first-order trend of how we see ourselves. 

In 1983, just nine per cent of UFO sightings were 'fireballs, compared to 38 per cent in 2013.

Overall, fireball ships are the most commonly seen, according to the data, followed by spherical and then triangular craft.

The most common month for UFO sightings is July, according to the data, with 9,892 reported sightings over all, while between 9pm and 10 pm is the most common time to spot an alien craft.

This may be because people tend to spend more time outside in the summer months.

INTERACTIVE GRAPHIC SHOWS LOCATION OF EVERY OFFICIAL UFO SIGHTING AROUND THE WORLD                

A map that reveals every official sighting of a UFO over the past 76 years  suggests that we are experiencing more cosmic traffic than ever before.

Many of the sightings can be put down to the development of drones and new aircraft technologies, but some enthusiasts believe it is because of rise in alien activity.

The interactive map was created by writer Levi Pearson, who used a UFO sighting dataset from the National UFO Reporting Centre and open source software from CartoDB.

Published in the QuantBait website, it begins in 1933 with the first UFO sightings being spotted over California and Nebraska in the US, the UK and France in Europe, and locations in Japan and Australia.

The number of sightings increases dramatically between the 1940s and the 1960s across the world, according to the map.

In the US, sightings documented during the 1940s include the famous Battle of Los Angeles and Roswell UFO Incident.

While it’s possible that there were more UFO visitations during the decade, officials at the time put it down to people being nervous about World War II, and seeing objects in the sky.

Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual, told MailOnline: ‘Sightings of strange things in the sky have been reported for centuries, though it was only with them being labelled as flying saucers or UFOs that people began to realise that this is a worldwide phenomenon.

‘UFO sightings often come in sudden and short-lived periods, which ufologists call flaps or waves.

'Often specific locations seem to be highly attractive to UFOs, and these locations are known as UFO window areas or UFO portals.

‘In the UK, Warminster, Cannock Chase and Bonnybridge are the most famous UFO window areas.'

Bonnybridge is known as the UFO capital of Scotland and there are said to be some 300 sightings every year, although not all of these are shown on the map. 

Cannock Chase in the Midlands has been a UFO hotbed since the1960s when there were first reports of a crashed craft, and earlier this year, residents reported seeing slow-moving aircraft making a loud buzzing noise moving across the sky. 

There appear to be repeated UFO sightings in the Midlands shown on the map during the 1960s, with clusters of activity also seen in the Netherlands, Germany and other parts of central Europe.

There is a marked increase in sightings on the map during the 1950s and 1960s, all across the US shown on the map. 

In Europe, the map shows many sightings over Belgium, between 1989 and 1990, which is known as the Belgium Wave.

The map shows a dramatic rise in the number of UFO sightings during the 1950s and 1960s. While this could indicate ore alien activity, the CIA recently claimed that half of UFO sightings in the US were linked to them testing U2 spy planes (pictured) at altitudes of 60,000 ft

At that time, some 13,500 people claimed to have seen huge black triangles flying silently through the skies. 

While the incident was tracked by Nato radar and investigated by the country's military, nothing unusual was found and sceptics believe the sightings may have been of ordinary helicopters. 

From the mid-1990s onwards, the explosion of sightings intensify on the map, with large concentrations over the West Coast and the whole eastern half of the US, from Texas. 

The map shows the whole of Europe ablaze with circles indicating UFO sightings, as well as areas of western Africa, India, South East Asia and South America. 

The global nature of the sightings suggests this could be down to the widespread uptake of the internet, which allowed people to share sightings more easily than before.

Mr Watson said: ‘With the coming of the internet it is easier for people to report UFO sightings and this is probably one reason for a rise in sightings.

‘We should also acknowledge that Chinese lanterns and the increased deployment of drones are responsible for greater amounts of sightings.’

I AM DARIUS - THE RICHARD GIROUX ET/UFO ENCOUNTER  by Robert D Morningstar.

This is a story of an astonishing and true account of a “close encounter of the FIFTH kind” which a man named Richard R. Giroux, experienced on October 12, 1994 on the rim canal of Lake Okeechobee, Florida. The contact was deliberate and the communication profound. The visitors shared in detail their true nature, their mission, and the reason for their connection with Earth since before the dawn of antiquity. The details of what they shared were not provided through conversation, but via a direct implant of knowledge. They also shared numerous and detailed future sequential events that will verify their message.  More.... Also read: TRAVIS WALTON'S "SKYFIRE SUMMIT" - NOW ON DVD.

 

VOYAGE TO THE LAND OF THE (ZOMBIES) LIVING DEAD!  by Scott Corrales.

The scene could have been derived from any suspense film. Manuel Delgado instinctively held on tightly to his television camera as we clutched our machetes. Our vehicle was being surrounded by a dozen ebony-skinned Haitians. The blancs, as they derisively call Europeans, are not welcome in Haiti and we had been warned that under no circumstances should we venture into the shanty towns outside Port-au-Prince where, we were told, "there exists a 90 per cent chance of being mugged." We ignored this sage advice, of course.  More.... Also read: VOYAGE TO THE LAND OF THE (ZOMBIES) LIVING DEAD! - II.

 

THE THING IN THE WOODS  by Doc Vega.

It seems just like it all happened such a short time ago as I look back on my childhood. Living thirty miles from the nearest town put us quite a ways out from the heart beat of the general public. Just me, my paw, and my little brother and that farm. Way out in the middle of no where was our home. I still remember it all like it was just the other day.  More....

One might wonder where we began as in the munificent omniscience of the beginning. M for Mother and F for Father and ME well for me to explain where we believe we actually came from in the present beginning of what we expect to know in this reality. But what of the matrix of the all that is not reality as we know it to exist with the senses? What about that which lies outside of our very own consciousness? I see aliens, UFOS, and angels. Does that make me a mystic?  More....

WITH CHINA AND RUSSIA CONDUCTING THEIR OWN VERSIONS OF JADE HELM, WHAT COULD THE WORLD GETTING READY FOR?  by Tony Elliott .

With Jade Helm, the largest military exercise in US history about to commence, along with China conducting huge military exercises in the South China Sea complete with its own manufactured islands. Russia is holding it's own version of Jade Helm, and a host of other countries participating in military operations, one gets the idea WWIII is about to start. However, we have to ask ourselves, if the world was getting ready for a world war, no one would be practicing for it in the open as we now see with all the military activity and the public sure wouldn't know about the plans. Yet, we seem to have the whole world getting ready for something big.  More....

 

RANDLE'S ROSWELL REPORT - PART II  by Stephen Erdmann.

Randle explains: “In interviews conducted in the early 1990s, and videotaped for the inclusion in the Fund for UFO Research’s video library, DuBose elaborated…McMullen ordered Ramey to cover up the whole thing.” DuBose further stated “McMullen told me you are not to discuss this and this is a point at which this is more than top secret…highest priority and you will say nothing.”  More....

 

LEGENDS OF RARE DARKNESS  by Deanna Jaxine Stinson.

Rare darkness is unusually excellent. It is darker than dark and more magical than possible. It is the gift of ultimate beauty and strength. It is deeper than the deepest well you have ever imagined. It is greater than fire burned so hot the ground is charred blacker than you could dream. It is a magical fire. A magical sacred holy darkness, where creatures can dwell with the devil himself and never be seen. This is not death but this is a cosmic pure slate untouched by impurities.  More....

 

A LOOK AT DEMONS  by Paul Dale Roberts.

Below is an article I wrote several years ago. I updated the article the best I could. I have been on over 1000 investigations, about 1/3 have been called demonic by the client. Out of 400 demonic cases, I have only seen 3 that may have actually been demonic. Demonic cases are a rarity. If an occupant says that they have an attachment, I will give them a Baptist baptism (full submersion into water). Many people do not realize that a baptism is a basic form of exorcism.  JULIA THE GHOST AND THE SHARP TOOTH DARK ENTITY.

 

THE BELLYACHE OF BEING AN RHD  by Rainbow Radaelli.

The RHd factor is something that confuses me to no end and seems to be apart of me, thanks to my mother or so I’m told. Funny how my sisters used to tease me and tell me I had monkey’s blood coursing through my veins. Little did they know that monkeys actually did play a part in the history of what I call, “blood science.” More....

UFO circular cloud over Texas appears and disappears before witness’ eyes (Photos)

(Before It's News)

 

Me, myself personally; I’m not sure what he actually saw, but my friend told me, “it looked like a cloud at first, but its appearance was circular and disappeared before my eyes.

I have uploaded the image not to get attention but I’m doing this to prove my friend is telling the truth and that there is more to this than we thought possible. Mufon case 66323.

It seems unlikely that such a massive cloud appears and disappears within a few seconds, except if it is true that UFOs use clouds to hide themselves in order to travel unseen above Earth’s surface.

So, this photograph proves that UFOs use clouds to hide themselves or his friend photographed a normal lenticular cloud?

Still Don’t Believe in Alien Life? You Need to Read This

(Before It's News)

STILL DON’T BELIEVE IN ALIEN LIFE? YOU NEED TO READ THIS

Alright everyone, let’s be real - and fractal this out into the big picture first.

Whatever word we put to it – Source, God, The Universe, the under lying fabric that makes up all-that-is – IS… ever-evolving, infinite creation. These fundamental, base structures of geometries are what make up our universes, atoms, a blade of grass and our very consciousness. It is infinite expression, much of which transcends our perception of what isreal – it exists outside of 3D concept.

Now, fractal this back down to your life. You and I and everything are fundamentally made up of the same geometries of creation. Something like an alien, a conscious being that exists outside of time, a fairy or even a thought, idea or concept are, at their core, a different expression of the same energy.

So, straight up, scientific, hard logic minds need to understand that:

“Seeing is believing” is not how it works.

Believing allows you to see.

Physicality is a product of the mind. Consciousness is something we are just beginning to understand scientifically, yet it is something to be understood intuitively – that is the intelligence of our heart.

Doing the introspective, emotional work alongside actually researching, discerning and gathering data objectively – brings you to the truth. It is not anyone’s truth, it is obvious to all who look. A simple expression of energy like a Grey Alien who interacts on our planet is not an opinion – it’s a regular occurrence.

We are collectively coming to the end of a cycle where ideas of tradition, cultural norms and social constructs have limited our potential. We are so much more than a physical vessel, and when you really feel that at your core, no scientific study or tangible proof is needed, it’s just as real as anything.

The infinite universe exists outside of our container of what we consider real, so for the last time:

Everything exists, creation is infinite: Aliens exist and have been interacting on our planetfor some time now. There’s many that want to openly contact us but we are not collectively ready.

Discern what resonates with you and what doesn’t; this is not about convincing.

See what’s really going on. 

Former CIA Agent Reveals Truth on his Deathbed

Canadian Minister of Defense on the Interaction with Extraterrestrials

• Paul Hellyer again on RT explaining like a boss, when asked”Why do you say UFO are as real as the airplanes flying over our heads.” He replies with“Because I KNOW that they are, in fact, they’ve been visiting our planet for thousands of years.”  He goes on to say:

“There’s been a lot more activity in the past two decades, especially since we invented the atomic bomb. They are very concerned about that and if we will use it again, because the whole cosmos is a unity and it affects not just us but other people in the cosmos. They’re very much afraid that we might start using atomic weapons again and this would be very bad for us, and them also.”

“There is a federation of these people, and they have rules, one of them is that they don’t interfere with our affairs unless they are invited. They have accepted the fact that this is our planet, and we have the right to run it but they are very concerned, they don’t think that we are good stewards of our planet. We are ruining our planet, we’re doing all sorts of things that we shouldn’t be doing, and they don’t like that. They’ve made it clear, and they have given us a warning.”

• A citizens hearing on UFO disclosure was held at the National Press Club in Washing, DC. A number of professors, historians, scientists, high ranking political and military personnel gathered April 29th to May 3rd  to elaborate on the ongoing reality of extraterrestrial life. Here are the thoughts of the congress men and women who open mindedly understood the information on the existence of aliens.

• A wiki leaks cable reporting the U.S. Ambassador calling on Mahmadsaid Ubaidulloev, the Dushanbe Mayor at his parliamentary office.  They began what was said to be a lengthy discourse which ended in the Mayor saying:

“We know there is life on other planets, but we must make peace here first.” 

Okay and for you who like to dig deep, see all the sides and take in all the information, this video is worth a watch. The point isn’t to immediately make decisions, jump to conclusions or even take everything as a truth.

When you get down to it, contradicting ideas, impossible thoughts and everything already exist, so the information in this video is as only as “out there” as you deem it to be. You are a creator, what you deem anything to be, it is to you.

10 Cases of Alien Abduction

NASA fotografeert gouden moederschip ( Video )

Het allermooiste is natuurlijk wanneer UFO’s en/of moederschepen (per ongeluk) worden vastgelegd door officiële instanties zoals NASA.

We weten dan in ieder geval met wat meer zekerheid dat we niet met nepopnames van doen hebben.

In het navolgende artikel zie je een voorbeeld van een dergelijke NASA opname.

Wanneer de foto is genomen, is niet helemaal duidelijk, maar wie de originele NASA foto wil zien, kan dat hier doen.

Hij is in ieder geval gemaakt door één van de vele Apollo missies, waarschijnlijk Apollo 13.

De opname is gemaakt ergens tussen de aarde en de maan en laat een prachtig gouden moederschip zien.

Afgezien daarvan is er ook nog een kleinere UFO zichtbaar op de foto.

De opname van de UFO is gevonden door de bekende Youtubegebruiker Streetcap1 en volgens hem is er helaas ook maar één foto waarop dit ruimteschip te zien is.

Verder is er niets bekend over deze fascinerende waarneming.

Photographed Orb UFOs by Oregon Witness

UFO sightings shouldn’t be new to us because there are different UFO pictures made available by some people who have direct or indirect experiences with them. While most of which are real, some others are made-up. As the matter of fact, it’d be difficult to tell apart from a genuine UFO footage from any hoax. Therefore, determining which claim is for real has been the tasks of a UFO expert. Is the photographed orb by Oregon witness for real or not? Listen to the story here.

According to testimony in 65981 from the Mutual UFO Network witness reporting database, one Oregon witness photographed a luminous orb in the sky. Such object appeared to split into numerous parts over a 5-minute period. The strange UFOs were apparent when he drove with a friend in the plains of Forest Grove at 8 p.m. on September 19, 2014. When it first appeared, he described the object as an enormous circular bright light hovering in the sky. As they apparently watched the object, it splits into multiple parts. Minutes later, it breaks into three orbs having the same shape and size.

The split object appeared to a triangle. The two split on the top, and the other one on the bottom. Five minutes later, it splits again forming an uneven pattern of four to five circles. About eight minutes later, it developed into six, and it stayed. The witness posted ten images with the MUFON report filed on May 30, 2015. Located in Washington County, Oregon, Forest Grove has a population of approximately 21,083. Please do not forget that most UFO sightings can be man-made or natural. Therefore, it is not only necessary to analyze the experience as described by the subject, but also employs high-tech devices that include spectrometer data and radar as well.

Amazing UFO sighting over Paris, France 6-Jun-2015

New interesting footage of a huge object or orbs slowly flying across the night sky above Paris in France. This was taken on 6th June 2015 over the Mount Valerien, near Paris, France.

Witness report: Skies are getting clearer each night! Good! I was having a tea in my garden, when I noticed a little light far in the night sky. I didn’t really pay attention to it, it was probably another satellite. When it got closer, I realized it was flying right over my house.

A little later, I started to understand what it really was. Anyway, it was not a satellite for sure. The object seemed to have some kind of “bubble” around it, like a shield or an energy ball. I was totally stunned. At first I stared at it like a fool, then woke up and ran to get my camera, the Canon 6D, with a 50mm F/1.2 lens. I bought it for its outstanding low light capabilities. The object was right over me, and I could film its flight since it disappeared behind the trees.

Of course, this isn’t a Chinese lantern: the behavior of the light clearly tells us it is not a lantern. Also, that blueish color suggests this thing is from outer space, for sure. Please watch the video entirely, I compare a lantern and this object at the end of the sighting.

Top 10 Reasons Stories of Fairy Encounters are Actually Alien Encounters

The modern UFO craze began in 1947 when private pilot Kenneth Arnold reported seeing nine mysterious, saucer-shaped objects flying past Mt. Rainier, Washington at unprecedented speeds. That summer, UFO hysteria swept the United States. In the latter half of the twentieth century, the idea of alien visitation became a staple of popular culture. Tens of thousands of people reported seeing strange objects in the sky or being abducted by small creatures with the ability to communicate telepathically and walk through walls. The pervasiveness of these reports even led Swiss psychologist Carl Jung to write one of his most famous essays: “Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies.”

But how modern are they? Jacques Vallee, an astrophysicist (and real-life inspiration for the French scientist played by Francois Truffaut in Close Encounters of the Third Kind) collected pre-modern stories of encounters with “faeries.” The parallels he uncovered between these old reports and modern accounts of alien contact led him to a surprising conclusion. Is Vallee correct, though? Are these creatures extra-terrestrials or ultra-terrestrials? Or is it all just folklore, what Carl Sagan called “a shared delusion based on common brain wiring and chemistry”? Ultimately all we can do is speculate until someone comes forward with the truth.

10. “The Little People”

In The Secret Commonwealth of Fairies(1692), Reverend Robert Kirk provides a description of diminutive beings with “light, changeable bodies . . . somewhat of the nature of a condensed cloud, and best seen at twilight.” Because in his day these little creatures were notorious for harassing travelers along highways, people would go out of their way to avoid making trips during certain times of the year.

The small stature of the mysterious beings has remained a constant of contemporary alien sightings. In the famous Lonnie Zamora incident of 1964, the New Mexican policeman reported seeing two “small adults” dressed in white who jumped on being sighted and disappeared into a large, egg-shaped object. During the wave of UFO sightings that gripped southern France in the spring of 1954, numerous people reported being accosted by “dwarves” in aluminum suits.

9. Flying Chariots

In his book The Demon-Haunted World, cosmologist Carl Sagan noted that stories of alien encounters share some striking similarities with earlier accounts of demonic harassment. There is, he said, one significant difference: unlike demons, aliens fly in gigantic metal contraptions, as though advances in human technology have somehow influenced the technology of non-human species.

Yet a closer look at the old stories reveals a disturbing pattern. Testimonials of faerie encounters frequently include mention of “burning chariots” that whisk people away to mysterious places. A ninth-century archbishop named Agobard skeptically reported that the people of Lyons where he lived believed in the existence of a land called “Magonia” where ships sailed in the sky. The poet Wolfgang von Goethe, in his autobiography, describes encountering a bright hovering object, “like a pandemonium of will-o’-the-wisps,” as he was traveling to Leipzig in 1768.

8. Inter-species Breeding

“Women are yet alive who tell they were taken away when in child-bed to nurse Fairie children,” noted Reverend Kirk. “When the child is wained [weaned], the Nurse dies, or is conveyed back.” Whatever name they go by, these creatures have always been portrayed as obsessed with human sexuality and reproduction. Just as Faeries in olden days kidnapped infants out of the cradle and bore them away to the Other Realm, much of today’s alien folklore involves extra-terrestrial visitors engaged in massive breeding experiments on human subjects.

On October 15, 1957 at around 10:00pm, Brazilian Antonio Villas-Boas was plowing in his field when he was forcibly seized by four men and carried into an egg-like object like a red star. He was stripped naked and left in a room alone. Soon, to his surprise, another human joined him—a blonde woman with blue eyes who was equally naked. The woman immediately began making clear to him the reason for his abduction. Once the relationship was consummated, Mr. Villas-Boas was unceremoniously returned home.

7. Missing Time

One striking feature of the Villas-Boas encounter deserves mention: as the man was being escorted away from his liaison he noticed a clock in one of the ship’s rooms. It was a box with a glass top and one hand. However, though four hours passed while he was on board the ship, the clock’s hand never moved.

Time does seem to flow differently in stories of human abduction. When Betty and Barney Hill saw a strange craft hovering over their car on a trip through New Hampshire in 1961, they suddenly found themselves thirty-five miles away. Several hours had elapsed in the space of a moment.

Often people who were carried away to the Faerie realm for a day or two were surprised, on returning, to discover that an entire year had passed in their absence. Two servants named Rhys and Llewellyn were traveling through Wales one night in the early nineteenth century when Rhys heard music. He insisted on pausing to listen, but Llewellyn hurried home. The next day he returned and found Rhys dancing in a fairy circle. When rescued, he was amazed to discover that an entire day had gone by.

6. Long-term Physical and Spiritual Effects

Though Faeries are often malevolent, even frightening, they are also known for giving gifts to those few humans who have the “good fortune” of meeting them. Sometimes these gifts are hilariously mundane—a couple of pancakes—while others may include financial prosperity or even supernatural powers like prophecy and healing. One of the legends that sprung up around Robert Kirk after he died walking over a Faerie mound in 1692 was that the Good People had gifted him with the ability to cure diseases.

Yet not everyone is so fortunate. The old stories tell of people being afflicted with madness, warts, blindness, and debilitating skin problems after meeting Faeries. In the aftermath of the Hill abduction, Barney Hill discovered a near-perfect circle of warts on his body. The victims of the Piney Woods sighting of December, 1980 suffered for years from the effects of radiation poisoning.

5. Paralysis

Whether entering a person’s room at night or stopping them on the highway, aliens are said to cause paralysis in their victims. In October 1954 an Italian man was accosted by a small being wearing a bright suit who aimed a flashlight at him and rendered him completely motionless. The strange figure then rose from the ground and flew away. In earlier days the “fairy stroke” was a common method Faeries used to immobilize those who encountered them.

4. Faerie Food

The classic study on Faerie customs, The Fairy Faith in Celtic Countries, tells a story of a woman living in Brittany who visited the wee folk to complain about a neighbor eating her buckwheat. When she returned home she discovered that they had gifted her with a never-ending supply of the stuff—buckwheat being a staple of the Faerie diet.

In April 1961 Joe Simonton asked the U. S. Department of Health to investigate three pancakes that he claimed had been cooked aboard a UFO. He had been working in his yard one morning when he saw three small men step out of a flying machine. Simonton offered the men some water and in exchange they gave him the pancakes. Air Force analysis of the objects revealed that they contained no salt—according to the Irish, the Faeries “never taste anything salt,” and only drink “pure water.” Interestingly, one of the main ingredients used in preparing the pancakes was buckwheat.

3. Faerie Rings and Saucer Nests

Those who dismiss old Faerie tales as mere legends should bear in mind that the other race often left physical evidence of its revels in the form of “fairy circles” in woods and fields. In the Zamora incident of 1961, the Air Force was perplexed by a circular patch of debris on the ground where the shrubbery had clearly been set on fire and the sand fused together. In November 1968, a group of reporters in Argentina, investigating the sight of a supposed flying saucer, found a circular imprint six yards in diameter where the earth had calcined and white mushrooms were growing.

2. Theft of Plants and Animals

The UFO love affair with cattle is well known. Less well known is their affinity for stealing plants, debris, and domesticated animals. In one striking example, on November 6, 1957, twelve-year-old Everett Clerk found two men and two women carrying all the neighborhood dogs into a strange craft. A few hours later and a few hundred miles away, in Everittstown, New Jersey, John Trasco met a small creature with “frog-like eyes” who told him, “We are peaceful people, we only want your dog.”

In this as in so much else the aliens are merely carrying on a precedent established by Faeries, who were known for stealing both deer and cattle.

1. Strange Behavior

The one constant in all stories about Faeries through the centuries is their outrageous and sometimes disorienting behavior. They are not like humans. Their chameleon-like bodies can fly through the air; they can appear and disappear at will by using magical batons; they speak in a strange and sometimes incomprehensible version of English (or whatever the local dialect is). So today when a construction worker in southern France wanders from his work site and meets a group of dwarves in the forest—when he and seven others are paralyzed by a metal rod that the dwarves carry while a hovering ship lifts them over the trees and out of sight—it seems clear that we’re dealing with the same phenomenon, though one that has been given different names and expressions depending on the time and place.

Who are they and what is the reason for their strange behavior? Perhaps we’ve been looking for answers among the stars when the truth, all along, has been much closer to home. Dr. Vallee put forward a theory known as the “inter-dimensional hypothesis,” in which the mysterious creatures that have plagued our race for eons are actually fellow travelers who exist in a dimension separate from ours. He suggests that their unsettling and irrational behavior is actually designed to destabilize us because they’re preparing the human race for the acceptance of a new myth. Faerie / alien encounters are staged spectacles that are shattering our old belief systems in advance of a projected shift in human consciousness.

UFO spotted over Loch Ness: Mystery craft 'seen hovering above famous Scottish tourist spot'

Alan Betts was on holiday with his wife, Anna, when the group captured this extraordinary image of two mysterious disc-shaped objects flying over the famous loch in the Scottish Highlands

Mind. Blown: This image shows two mysterious discs flying over Loch Ness

A mysterious photo appears to show a pair of UFOs hovering above the home of the Loch Ness Monster.

Stunned Alan Betts was on holiday with his wife, Anna, and her parents when the group captured this extraordinary image of two mysterious disc-shaped objects flying over the famous freshwater loch in the Scottish Highlands.

The picture was taken by Anna's mum Tatiana, but it wasn't until Alan and his wife returned to their home in York and started looking through their holiday snaps that the bewildered couple discovered the strange white shapes hovering over the loch.

X-Files: Alan Betts was on holiday with his wife, Anna

Alan, 48, who is the director of a refrigeration company based in Bradford, said he was usually very sceptical about UFOs but couldn't offer an explanation for the spooky picture.

He said: "Our Akita dog, Yuka, was strangely unsettled that night, he never barks but I remember we were laughing at the time saying that he'd seen Nessie because he was looking outside from the cottage window and barking at the sky.

"We couldn't see anything at that time though.

"We had been very lucky with the weather and were stunned with the view we had, it was almost constant sunshine but then that day, when we got back to the cottage after a day of sightseeing, the weather suddenly changed.

"We'd not seen it change that quickly before, which is why my mother-in-law went outside to take a general landscape picture.

Caters

Unknown: Alan can't explain the spooky pic

"After the holiday we were looking through the pictures on our PC, as they were taken on a digital camera.

"On the PC screen the resolution was better and then we saw the objects when we zoomed in.

"We were in shock.

 

"I can't offer any logical explanation, I am probably one of the most sceptical people you could find about things like this but I just can't explain what it is. I know what it looks like though.

"We showed the pictures to Anna's parents who were as shocked as us - and her dad is probably more sceptical than me."

Three Commercial Pilots Spot Alien Disc At 1000 Feet

(Before It's News)

THREE COMMERCIAL PILOTS SPOT ALIEN DISC AT 1000 FEET

DECEMBER 30, 2014  …..EAST GRINSTEAD ENGLAND

Within the vicinity of Gatwick Airport in London, the pilots of three separate passenger planes have reported catching sight of a pair of flat silver discs hovering near UK Headquarters. Some of them have reported seeing discs flying 100 feet, moving stationary or slowly.

Air traffic controllers claimed that they catch six UFOs on radar and after its appearance, they rapidly vanished. These encounters were announced by an agency that investigates mid-air collisions. From the report last week, it failed to lay down an explanation in pilot sightings at 9 am last Dec. 30.  It described how the Boeing 777 pilot raised the alarm after recognizing “two flat silver discs” over the Scientology headquarters in East Grinstead minutes from touchdown at Gatwick at 8:53 a.m. Minutes later, an Airbus 319 and a Boeing 767 saw similar “saucer-like” object hovering about 1,000 feet above the ground. According to the 777 crew, they looked like a “man-made” object. 

The juxtaposition of Scientology and UFOs is not surprising. While some people think that the movement have the answers to the questions related to life, some others believe that aliens inhabit humans. Despite the fact that Scientologists insist that “Alien Descendent” theory is made by the Internet fringe out from scurrilous statements. Tom Cruise is the movement’s most celebrated follower.  Unfortunately, Pope believes that the alleged theories do not hold water. 

The Airprox board has still concluded that such objects remained untraced. In their report, the Airprox made no connection to the Church of Scientology because the headquarters in question are miles away from where the sightings took place. The Sun felt that Scientology is a connection with aliens was appropriate.  The encounter was experienced the day before the Scientologists carved messages to aliens in an “alien space cathedral” in Northeastern New Mexico’s hills.

The Hidden Reality of Deep Underground Military Bases – Phil Schneider Documentary of truth about Aliens & UFO’s & our Government (Videos)

(Before It's News) 

Below is a video of Phil Schneider. Much of what he says with regards to methods of underground base development correlates with the research I’ve done. He was murdered shortly after giving a few lectures as he did here below.

Secret Underground Bases and the true story of Philip Schneider

Philip Schneider died on Januarv 17, 1996, shortly after conducting several controversial lectures throughout the US, including Denver where he covered topics such as, Space-Defense, black helicopters, railroad cars built with shackles, extraterrestrials and the secret black budget.

If the circumstances of his death seem highly controversial, they are matched by the controversy over his public statements uttered shortly before his death.

Philip Schneider was a self-taught geologist and explosives expert. Of the 1,477 underground bases around the world, 129 deep underground facilities of which were located in the United States, he claimed to have worked on 13. Two of these bases were major, including the much rumored bioengineering facility at Dulce, New Mexico.

At Dulce, Schneider maintained, “gray” humanoid extraterrestrials worked side by side with American technicians. In 1979, a misunderstanding arose. In the ensuing shootout, 66 Secret Service, FBI and Black Berets were killed along with an unspecified number of “grays”. It was here he received a beam-weapon blast to the chest which caused his later cancer many have confirmed that a large scar indeed existed.

Philip Schneider recounts his encounter with extraterrestrials in the following excerpt:

“I was involved in building an addition to the deep underground military base at Dulce, which is probably the deepest base. My job was to go down the holes and check the rock samples, and recommend the explosive to deal with the particular rock. As I was headed down there, we found ourselves amidst a large cavern that was full of outer-space aliens, otherwise known as large Greys. I shot two of them.

At that time, there were 30 people down there. About 40 more came down after this started, and all of them got killed. We had surprised a whole underground base of existing aliens. Later, we found out that they had been living on our planet for a long time, perhaps a million years. This could explain a lot of what is behind the theory of ancient astronauts.”

I just wanted to get across that Deep Underground Military Facilities are not a conspiracy. What happens beneath our feet is garnishing trillions of dollars from the black budget for special projects that the majority of the human race knows nothing about.

Russen dachten dat Derde Wereldoorlog was begonnen

Gezien de huidige situatie in de wereld is het niet zo vreemd dat mensen gespannen zijn.

Wanneer er dan een vreemde wolk boven Rusland verschijnt denkt men daar dat de eerste nucleaire bommen zijn gevallen.


De inwoners van de Zuid Russische stad Tyumen keken vol verbijstering naar de hemel boven hun stad toen daar een grote paddenstoelachtige wolk verscheen.

Velen dachten dan ook dat ze hier te maken hadden met een echte nucleaire aanval en raakten behoorlijk overstuur. 

Dan gaat iedereen vervolgens naar de sociale media waar berichten rondvliegen over het einde der aarde.

Wanneer je naar de volgende afbeelding kijkt dan is dat niet geheel onvoorstelbaar.

De foto werd door Alexander Bogdanov op Instragram geplaatst met het bericht: “De Derde Wereldoorlog is begonnen”. Niet zo vreemd natuurlijk dat de foto daarna viraal ging.

Degenen die niet dachten dat het einde der wereld was gekomen, vermoedden een rakettest of iets dergelijks.

Ook vanuit Rusland van officiële zijde komt geen enkele verklaring voor deze “nucleaire wolk”.

Dat het geen nucleaire wolk is, moge duidelijk zijn en ook dat de Derde Wereldoorlog in de zin van fysieke bommen, (nog) niet is uitgebroken.

Waar dit wel verdacht veel aan doet denken is een groot (gecloakt) UFO moederschip of dimensieportaal zoals we die de laatste tijd veelvuldig hebben waargenomen.
