Alien Scholz’s star passed through solar system 70,000 years ago

 

 

An alien star passed through our Solar System just 70,000 years ago, astronomers have discovered.

No other star is known to have approached this close to us.

An international team of researchers says it came five times closer than our current nearest neighbour – Proxima Centauri.

The object, a red dwarf known as Scholz’s star, cruised through the outer reaches of the Solar System – a region known as the Oort Cloud.

Scholz’s star was not alone; it was accompanied on its travels by an object known as a brown dwarf. These are essentially failed stars that lacked the necessary mass to get fusion going in their cores.

Observations of the dim star’s trajectory suggest that 70,000 years ago this cosmic infiltrator passed within 0.8 light years of the Sun. By comparison, Proxima Centauri is 4.2 light years away.

Ball Of Light Disappearing Into A Wormhole Portal Above Canberra

A strange ball of light lit up the sky over Canberra before quickly vanishing once again stirred UFO sighting speculations on social media.

The video, which was first uploaded to Reddit, showed a round UFO surfacing on the Australian Capital Territory sky amidst a Sunday night storm. The mysterious object has a faint green and red glow in the background.

Some users of social media labeled it as an ET event while experts branded it as a weather phenomenon called ball lightning.

The lightning illuminated with a green-red hue and a white orb in the dark sky and disappeared after a few seconds during the recorded incident.

Some believe it is a UFO exiting a portal from another dimension. Jakka Warren says that it is the so-called Class B UFO because of the presence of typical hyperdrive residue and not the ball of lightning as experts hinted. Many Reddit users maintained that the strange light was a sign of hyperspace opening up.

But experts insist it is ball lightning. Dr. Brad Tucker, an astronomer at Australian National University, debunked alien claims, saying it was ball lightning, an equally mysterious phenomenon.

He stated that some may have mistaken it for an Aurora, where the energy of the sun hits the atmosphere, rubbing it with friction and charging the gas. But it doesn’t fit because there is no activity from the sun and it is cloudy.

However, he thought it was ball lightning, a strange event where lightning appears as a ball explosion and moves around in the sky in some instances. The electrical charge rubbing against atmospheric gases manifest in this activity.

NASA claims: Dozens of advanced ancient civilizations collapsed before us

Is it possible that just like many other advanced civilizations in the past, ours too is heading towards an impending collapse? Is the collapse of society imminent? These are some of the questions a study from NASA aims at answering. The study, partly sponsored by the Goddard Space Flight Center suggests that civilizations as we know it could come to an abrupt end in the coming decades due to a number of factors.

If we look back in history, 3000 – 5000 years, we will find a historical record that clearly shows us how advanced and complex civilizations were just as susceptible to collapse as we are today. This ongoing pattern has led researchers to question the future existence of society and civilization as we know.

If we were to look back further back in time, over 10,000 years, we would encounter evidence of advanced civilizations that possibly predate the Pre-Inca, Olmec, and Ancient Egyptian civilization, not to mention other advanced ancient civilizations in ancient Mesopotamia.

It is difficult to overlook the repeating patterns identified by scholars in most of these civilizations and the NASA funded study is clear evidence of the path ancient civilizations on EArth have taken for thousands of years. This is considered by many people as a sign that clearly states that ancient civilizations have reset a number of times.

These factors have kept on repeating themselves and have been the culprit for ancient civilizations before us.  In the report, applied mathematician Safa Motesharri and his “Human and Nature Dynamical” model claims that “the process of rise-and-collapse is actually a recurrent cycle found throughout history.”

“The fall of the Roman Empire, and the equally (if not more) advanced Han, Mauryan, and Gupta Empires, as well as so many advanced Mesopotamian Empires, are all testimony to the fact that advanced, sophisticated, complex, and creative civilizations can be both fragile and impermanent.”

The study came to the conclusion that there are two key social features that contributed to the collapse of every single advanced civilization from the past: “the stretching of resources due to the strain placed on the ecological carrying capacity”; and “the economic stratification of society into Elites [rich] and Masses (or “Commoners”) [poor]” These social phenomena have played “a central role in the character or in the process of the collapse,” in all such cases over “the last five thousand years.”

Even though our civilizations is at a very advanced technological stage, this does not necessarily mean that we are saved from imminent chaos. In the study we find that “Technological change can raise the efficiency of resource use, but it also tends to raise both per capita resource consumption and the scale of resource extraction, so that, absent policy effects, the increases in consumption often compensate for the increased efficiency of resource use.”

One of the best examples of advanced ancient civilizations disappearing can be found in Mesoamerica.

If we take a look at the ancient Maya who were an extremely advanced ancient civilization we find that several factors played a crucial role for this once great empire to crumble eventually. While most researchers would agree that Deforestation, Famine and Drought where some of the key components in the failure of the ancient Maya, we find a similar pattern in other civilizations, not only I the Americas, but around the globe.

Motesharrei and his colleagues conclude that under conditions “closely reflecting the reality of the world today… we find that collapse is difficult to avoid.” In the first of these scenarios, civilization:

“…. appears to be on a sustainable path for quite a long time, but even using an optimal depletion rate and starting with a very small number of Elites, the Elites eventually consume too much, resulting in a famine among Commoners that eventually causes the collapse of society. It is important to note that this Type-L collapse is due to an inequality-induced famine that causes a loss of workers, rather than a collapse of Nature.”

Filer’ Files #2 -2016 Space Battle Groups - PArt II

 Sightings in the United States

Alabama Cylinder

Pinson – On January 1, 2016, I was taking the dog out at 7:19 pm, and noticed an inverted triangle in the southern sky, 25 degrees above the horizon towards Birmingham.

The lights were much larger and brighter than any stars. The color of each light was also different from a star, either a yellow/orange or orange. Initially I believed it could possibly be some type of lanterns but they stayed in that same tight triangle formation without wavering (as the lights were connected). The triangle formation was rotating clockwise with the left light moving further away. Three lights moved VERY slowly east, with all corners staying at a consistent distance,

The sighting lasted roughly four minutes disappearing behind some fast moving clouds. My wife, mother, and daughter also witnessed this. Thanks to MUFON CMS

California Orb

Eureka — I arrived at the Pacific Outfitters and saw a double rainbow, and took two consecutive photos of a rainbow. I reviewed the photos when I got home and noticed in the first live photo that when it played something black moving very fast flew through the rainbow descending at about a 45-degree angle. The object was not in the next photo that I can tell. The video only plays on my iPhone 6 as a live photo. I do not know how to export it so that others can see the object move. If you look in between the two palm trees to the right and follow the space between them up to the rainbow, you will see the object streak through the rainbow. Thanks to MUFON CMS’

Colorado Disc

 Bucaramanga – We drove on Bucaramanga Road to observe a light that was dawning in the Chicamocha Canyon on October 25, 2015.

I took out my phone and when I saw it began to rise, I did not see it anymore.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Florida Lights

On July 17, 2016, I called my wife and daughter to come see what they did.

The lights flew north until trees and a building blocked my site.

The exact date is not certain.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Orlando — The following event took place at night over Disney World. I noticed some silent red glowing lights that were able to change in number, orientation and even appeared to merge on April 1, 2013. The pattern of lights consisted of 1 to 4 separate but equal sized lights. The lights were able to hover and were obviously under intelligent control. I photographed the light objects with a H5 Sony Camera. Much to my surprise, there was also a clear outline of what appeared to be a craft with a propulsion system emitting white energy or light. There were other strange objects in the digital image that was some sort of electrical loops of dancing energy. These energy loops were in different colors and visible on both sides of the craft and the red light objects. The craft and red lights remained in sharp focus. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Iowa Fuzzy

Sac City — I looked out the kitchen window to see if the moon was visible on January 1, 2016. I could clearly see what was less than a half moon and a bright group of rays and orbs. I grabbed my IPhone and took a couple pictures but they were fuzzy. These pictures were shot with my Canon-EOS-70D with zoom lens. When I first saw it, I saw it moving and it was something totally different! This object had very bright glowing lights, which seem to hover and fall. A collection of orbs illuminated it. At first, I thought it was chevron shaped but then as it moved it looked very different. I ran upstairs to wake my husband but it disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Maine Lights

Turner — My friend and I was leaving Turner to go back home on December 25, 2015, when we were viewing Christmas Lights took a video of it. Recording the lights, I noticed lights on ground that we could not see with the naked eye. About five and a half minutes into recording my friend said, “Look at that thing on the mountain it’s huge.” The UFO came into view of my camera and it was an amazing sight to see on Christmas night. The ufo blinked out after a few seconds. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Massachusetts Flying Object

Holyoke — On January 1, 2016, driving on the highway between Vermont and Massachusetts, I saw and object hovering and took a quick video and pictures.

I saw an object hovering over my car on the highway and took videos and pictures and then it disappeared.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Minnesota Light

Eagan – It came down through clouds and then back up on December 31, 2015.

I have photographed something by accident, I think.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

 New Mexico Sphere

Rio Rancho – I was at home when I went to the backyard to take a photo of the overnight snowfall that ended at around 8:00 am, on December 27, 2015. After downloading the photo to the computer, I notice the object in the top center of the photo. I thought that it might have been a water drop but there was no moisture on the camera and the temperature was twenty-five degrees Celsius outside.

I showed the photo to a coworker that follows UFO sightings and he asked me to submit it to MUFON. I have no idea what the object is.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

North Carolina Lights

 Carolina Beach — I was playing computer games on January 6, 2015, during the time of the event. The lights got my attention because they were pulsating, amber-red-orange colored and unlike a typical fishing boat that would be seen on the water. The photo was taken, between the hours of 2-3 AM. The red-amber colored lights blinked off and on all night long until the sun came up.

Note: This picture was taken on a tripod, as well as, time exposed due to nighttime visibility. The lights appeared separated but followed a sequencing of left to right and then right to left repeatedly until the sun came up. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Ohio Orb

Ashland — I was at work time was close to 9 pm, I had walked out back for a quick break on January 2, 2016. I noticed a formation of two planes flying in formation very close to one another. Their elevation was high and took out my phone to zoom in and see better.  I happened to notice something dark over a building in the direction of the/planes path. I snapped a few photos and was amazed to see something strange in the photo. I don’t know what the object is. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing as it was danced in the sky erratically. After 15 seconds of recording in a flash of light, it shot off and up into the sky.. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Oregon Orb

Eugene – On New Year’s Eve on December 31, 2015, I was looking west out our front window towards the EUG airport. It was over the ‘Wetlands area,’ a preserved site critical for bird migration.

I saw birds and I could see the white tail feathers and head of something. I called my wife to have a look and got a photo eagles coming towards us. Later that same day, my wife spotted two eagles approaching from the west and I managed to capture a pair of eagles as they flew towards us.
I used my (Nikon D3000 camera), and noticed a white sphere in the upper left in one photo. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Washington Orb

Yeim – A light moved east during fireworks and then disappeared on January 1, 2016, at 12:15 AM.

I grabbed my cellphone camera and took a video.

The light eventually disappeared and then reappeared.
The drunken person in the video was not me.

I finally got something on video wow

Worldwide UFO Reports

Australia Orb

Sydney — On our way back from coffee, we noticed chemtrails being conducted in a cross over pattern on December 15, 2015. I took a photo of the plane in action as it was undertaking the second trail. We walked back to our house and took two more photos. When I revised the photo, I spotted an orb of silver/metallic appearance with six bright lights clearly visible upon the surface of the orb. The lights are clearly distinct once uploaded to my pc. With the second lot of photos, the orb is in a different location. The orb is not visible and returns in the third photo. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Canada Orb

Kelowna — I went out on my balcony to have a cigarette while talking on the phone on August 2, 2014; I observed this glowing orb moving in a way an airplane could travel. It flew behind ridges and in front of them. It hovered and flew quickly as it changed color on the opposing side. I tried to use my phone to capture pictures but was unable to focus on the object; I did get a short video of the object before it winked out of existence. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Guam Light

Yigo – I woke up around 5 am and went outside where I saw a bright light, almost like headlight beams on January 1, 2016. I thought nothing of it until about 10 minutes passed and it seemed like it was heading straight up and disappeared. Then descended leveling off and hovering, and It then repeated this maneuvering several time.

Around seven, I went back outside and the object wasn’t as bright, seemed higher in the sky, and eventually faded out. It was yellowish and had a flashing red light.

The following day I went out at 5 am and saw it again with brighter red and green flashing lights.  Around 6:40 AM, I with back outside and the object was still stationary but not as bright. After filming, I noticed it was a hovering disk shaped… Thanks to MUFON CMS

Chili Underwater Rod

 Serena – This is a drone recording with P3P DUI arraying industry on the Serena coast of an unidentified object underwater. The object in the video is possibly a rod type UFO.

At the time, filming there was algae on the coast of the Pacific Ocean.  It moved very fast, was long without wings… She was amazed, but this is not the first time she saw something unfamiliar, previously have had UFO sightings but could not catch them. The object moves out to sea and is lost. Thanks to Slds Agustin

Ireland Lights

Sligo – I was making tea after the movie and saw a huge light in the sky on November 11, 2015, where normally is nothing. It was an unknown object so I took out my digital camera and photographed the light.

It hovered glowing for over one hour and then disappeared. I could see the inner structure and a ring around the object was giving off a lot of light.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Nigeria UFO

Ifot Favou Johnnie writes, “It was said that at about days after Easter of 2014 in a town in Akwa-Ibom State, that an unidentified object came from the sky while the rain was falling at about  21:00 hours. The object came as a lighted object from the other part of the village in a ship like form and with high sense of light. It entered a house around the village and all the light bulbs exploded. These object passed through a Banana tree, Coconut tree and a Pear tree. In the morning, it was found out that the trees were all decayed and dead.
The unidentified object traveled down to the earth and the point where it entered the ground..The soil was very soft the next day. I think that this object needs to be examined to determine what it really is”. Thanks Reporter Johnnie Ifot and Steve Iniobong Mfon.

Norway UFO

Hessdalen –This ufo was caught by Streetcap1 onn Live Cam on December 31, 2015. ufos have been seen for the last few decades, so much so that some people put up live cams just to watch them. The world government knows about the alien craft here and an underground base in this location and aliens coming and going.

They do what they want. They probably have had this underground base for thousands of years. In reality, we are new on this planet, but aliens have been here for eons. Website Scott C. Website

Streetcap1 of Youtube states:
“Hessdalen is a very remote area in Norway with a long history of ufo sightings. I noticed slight flashing so started recording. The orb was a huge surprise. Its speed over the terrain appears very rapid and it disappears into thin air toward flashing light in the top right of picture frame.”

Puerto Rico Light

Old San Juan — I was driving home from work on November 27, 2015, and looked up to see this planet-sized very bright white “orb” in the day sky. The sun was east in the sky and as seen by the photos, this object is not characteristic of the moon. I sat in the car taking various photos. This object hovered as I drove home and uploaded the pics to Facebook.

A few months later, I grew curious as to what I saw so I go0gled UFO sightings July 29, 2015. To my surprise, there were sightings in Japan and Honolulu on this same date.

I would like to know what I saw.

Thanks to MUFON

Switzerland Vortex

Geneva – The UFO enters vortex above the CERN Hadron Collider. You can hear and see a huge vortex rapidly forming in this video and then a UFO flying into it.

The UFO white orb moves up toward center of the apparent vortex forming in the sky.

Speculation indicates some UFOs use a vortex to travel from one planet to another.

The vortex theoretically allows a craft to travel between planets in a few hours, even though it might take months in normal space travel from point to point.

CLICK HERE to watch a 1:53 minute video of a huge and fast-forming vortex on the December 7, 2015. The second act shows a UFO entering the center of the vortex and vanishing. The UFO appears to open a portal to another time or dimension through which the UFO could travel. The CERN Hadron Collider is theworld’s largest machine and the most powerful particle collider ever built with a circumference of 17 miles. Website Thanks to MUFON CMS

UK England UFO

I sat in my mother’s hospital room and saw a rainbow on the mountain opposite her room on February 27, 2015. I took four pictures about two seconds apart. When I got home and uploaded the pics on the third one was an object I’m sending you.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Virgin Islands

Several pictures were being taken from the stern of the Holland America Yesterday cruise ship on December 30, 2015. The ship had docked and our stateroom was at the stern of the ship in the middle. A galaxy edge was being used to photograph the area around the ship without incident. Several pictures of a similar shot were taken, until we were reviewing the pictures, did we observe a green ball with knobs around it and a green haze. It was only present in one picture.
This photograph was taken from the balcony of the ship. We have never seen anything like it in the hundreds of shots we have taken with the camera. We showed the picture to some of the crew who said they too thought it looked like an orb. Thanks to MUFON CMS

The Anthropocene: Hard evidence for a human-driven Earth

The evidence for a new geological epoch which marks the impact of human activity on Earth is now overwhelming according to a recent paper by an international group of geoscientists. The Anthropocene, which is argued to start in the mid-20th Century, is marked by the spread of materials such as aluminium, concrete, plastic, fly ash and fallout from nuclear testing across the planet, coincident with elevated greenhouse gas emissions and unprecedented trans-global species invasions.

An international group of scientists is studying whether human activity has driven Earth into a new geological epoch -- the Anthropocene. They ask: to what extent are human actions recorded as measurable signals in geological strata, and is the Anthropocene world markedly different from the stable Holocene Epoch of the last 11,700 years that allowed human civilization to develop?

The Holocene Epoch has been a time during which human societies advanced by gradually domesticating the land to increase food production, built urban settlements and became proficient at developing the water, mineral and energy resources of the planet. The proposed Anthropocene Epoch, however, is marked as a time of rapid environmental change brought on by the impact of a surge in human population and increased consumption during the 'Great Acceleration' of the mid-20th century.

Dr Colin Waters of the British Geological Survey said: "Humans have long affected the environment, but recently there has been a rapid global spread of novel materials including aluminium, concrete and plastics, which are leaving their mark in sediments. Fossil-fuel combustion has dispersed fly ash particles worldwide, pretty well coincident with the peak distribution of the 'bomb spike' of radionuclides generated by atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons." "All of this shows that there is an underlying reality to the Anthropocene concept," commented Jan Zalasiewicz of the University of Leicester, a co-author and working group Chair.

The study, co-authored by 24 members of the Anthropocene Working Group, shows that humans have changed the Earth system sufficiently to produce a range of signals in sediments and ice, and these are sufficiently distinctive to justify recognition of an Anthropocene Epoch in the Geological Time Scale. In 2016 the Anthropocene Working Group will gather more evidence on the Anthropocene, which will help inform recommendations on whether this new time unit should be formalized and, if so, how it might be defined and characterized.

A number of UK members of the group have contributed to this study, Colin Waters (lead author and Secretary of the group) and Michael Ellis, both from the British Geological Survey, Jan Zalasiewicz, Mark Williams and Matt Edgeworth from Leicester University and Colin Summerhayes from Cambridge University have provided significant input to this study and maintain the UK's strong involvement in research into the Anthropocene concept.

UFOs Shoot Past Passenger Jet Over Manchester, England On Sept 19, 2015, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Sep 19, 2015
Location of sighting: Manchester, England
News source: 

http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/mystery-ufo-film-manchester-airport-10704089

These UFOs are difficult to make out due to their speed and a contrail they leave behind. There is at least three of them and they are moving with a swaying moment, much like a fish has as it moves. The movement is and strong indication that these are AI alien drones. More proof that radar needs to be updated and made more powerful.

News states:
This footage shows a 'UFO' in the skies above Manchester – but we’re pretty confident it’s not proof of extraterrestrial life. The clip was taken by a holiday-maker as he took off from the city’s airport, and shows unusual white lines streaming through the air. It was uploaded to YouTube earlier this week by David Ball, from Chorlton, who was searching for answers from the public about what the unidentified flying object could be. He said: “I took the footage in September while I was on my way with my family to Mallorca. But I didn’t look at it for months. "Then when I came to look back at it I saw that there was a strange thing flying in the sky next to the plane after we took to the air. “I don’t personally think it is aliens, I don’t believe in them. But I do think it is a mystery that I was hoping someone might help me solve.”

Under the username dmb9 David, a 38-year-old logistics manager, posts a number of videos showing unusual phenomenon to his YouTube channel. He added: “I always have phone in my hand and film things. You never know when you might see something unusual or something weird might happen. "On my channel there’s videos which could be ghosts and other things like that – the paranormal or mysterious occurrences. “I only uploaded the UFO clip this week but so far no one has come forward to say what it could be – hopefully now it can be explained.”

Stephenville UFO Is Seen Again Over Davis Mountains In Texas, Dec 29, 2015, Photos, UFO Sighting News.

This rectangle UFO tried to blend into the sky by making itself white, but honestly, it didn't fool anyone. The shape is similar to the UFO that was recorded on radar flying over the Bush ranch in 2008. Speaking of which, Pres Bush was a well known military pilot and I believe the chances are that he was piloting the UFO over his ranch personally. Its shape and size (about 300 meters) match. This is the same UFO. It is my belief that this craft is a secret USAF project, created with tech from Area S4.

On Tuesday, Dec. 29, 2015 while on a vacation in the Davis Mountains region of Texas, we had to drive from Ft. Davis to Alpine to get a new tire. Once completed we decided we'd just drive over to Marfa, TX to see what was there and then make the loop back to Ft. Davis. This was somewhere around 10-11am CST. On that drive west from Alpine to Marfa, at about 10 miles from Marfa, my wife and I noticed a white rectangular or perhaps trapezoidal shape in the distance to the west. I first thought we were seeing something reflecting off the distant mountains, but as we got closer it was apparent it was up in the sky. It appeared to just be up there. As we were driving, I could not tell that it was moving at all. Just hung there in the distance. My wife thought it must be a weather balloon, but I said it was too rectangular for that and it didn't appear to move up or down. It was just a very odd sight. And I have to admit, being in the area of the famous Marfa Lights didn't help any.

UFO Caught During New Years Night Full Moon Over England, Video, Jan 1, 2016, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: January 1, 2016
Location of sighting: Liverpool, England
Source: http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/merseyside-man-captures-video-ufo-10693162

This object is flying close for it to be so large against the moon. Probably in Earths orbit or lower. The UFO has three congruent sides and if moving at about the same speed a jet would be moving. This looks like another space station, but its not the ISS for sure, wrong shape. The first UFO catch of 2016.

News states: 
When a St Helens-based painter and director pointed his camera to the sky to capture the first moon of 2016 he unwittingly videoed an Unidentified Flying Object passing over it. Mike Dean, 43, had climbed up to the top of Billinge Hill to film the New Year’s Eve fireworks at midnight. When they finished he left his Sony camera pointing at the moon for a few minutes while he had a beer with mates who had joined him up the hill. The group of friends then headed back to Mike’s house to watch the firework footage - only to spot a quite unexpected mysterious object passing over the moon at 12.20am. Mike said: “I was very surprised as I was only meaning to shoot the first New Year’s moon,” Mike told the ECHO. “It got me and my friends talking. We kept rewinding it and debating what it was.” Mike, who does not believe in aliens, thinks the UFO is a satellite - although some of his friends aren’t too sure. He said: “I don’t think it’s an alien but it’s still a mystery - an unexplained thing in my camera. I don’t think it’s a plane because they often have flashing lights and leave a vapour. This object looks like it’s out of the atmosphere.” More at source.

Video of 'UFO' getting struck by lightning in Austria goes viral - but is it a hoax?

A screenshot from the video that claims to show a genuine UFO sighting Marie Mela/Facebook

A video that apparently shows a UFO getting struck by lightning during a New Year's Eve celebration in Austria has gone viral online.

The video, apparently filmed by student Marie Mela in the Mostviertel area of Lower Austria, has been spread far and wide across the internet since it was posted on 1 January, and has cropped up on YouTube and a number of UFO-related pages since.

It starts fairly innocently, showing a group of young people ringing in the New Year with dancing, drinks and fireworks.

As the camera pans up to follow one rocket, we see a strange, brightly glowing orb in the sky, which appears to get struck by lightning. The camera pans down again, and we get a glimpse of the shocked faces of the crowd, who are questioning what they have just seen.

Unfortunately, it's safe to assume it's not real - from the artificial-looking camera shake, the split-second sudden appearance of the 'UFO' and the melodramatically shocked faces of the video's stars, it bears all the hallmarks of a hoax.

Local newspaperKurier looked into the video, and asked for the opinion of Roland Reiter, a meteorologist for Austrian weather forecasting company Ubimet, which claims to have Austria's largest and most sophisticated lightning detection service.

Reiter told the paper: "We have seen the video, and we checked the weather conditions at the time - there was no lightning in the area."

The fact that Mela is also a student of Media and Communications at the prestigious University of Vienna also suggests that the UFO video isn't all that it claims to be - perhaps it's part of an experiment to show how far false information can spread online?

It's disappointing news for conspiracy theorists and alien fans, but good news for Mela and her grades - at the time of writing, the video has now been viewed almost 100,000 times in just under a week on Facebook alone.

Switzerland: UFO On Camera Enters Swirling Portal Over LHC

Many has feared that the secret Large Hadron Collider may someday create a black hole accidentally that would swallow the Earth or give access to another dimension wherein aliens, or evil entity would emerge.

Now, something unusual has happened at the major scientific installation. A YouTube video shows swirling holes above the CERN’s massive scientific experiment.

The video’s authenticity convinces not all viewers, and many are more impressed with the CGI computer skills that resulted in producing excellent video.

The footage shows a swirling whirlpool of clouds in the sky before a UFO appears to fly into the centre of it. YouTube channel Section 51 2 posted the clip with a title “UFO entering Interdimensional Portal over Geneva SWITZERLAND.” It claims that two US tourists filmed it last month. While some viewers are convinced it is real, several others believe special effects or CGI are used.

The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) operates the LCH, a big network of intricate tunnels under the ground of the French border. CERN gets physicists to discover how everything in the universe started. Those physicists collide atoms together at high speed in hopes to see the smallest possible version and answer their question.

The same YouTube channel posted a video titled “New Huge phenomenon observed over Geneva – Cern area September 28.” The earlier video showed swirling clouds and an explosive lightning display.

Many people commented that it was just a powerful thunderstorm that had been manipulated digitally.

VIDEO: Astro-photographers film ‘super-fast’ UFO hurtling over Darwin

A LIGHT caught hurtling through the night sky on a dash-camera just south of Darwin has baffled a husband and wife who are quite familiar with the starry skies.

Astro-photographers Paul and Sylvia Mayo were left mystified after they captured the strange phenomenon on the dash camera when they pulled out of a petrol station near Berrimah.

At the time they thought nothing about it but, when Mr Mayo was going back through his computer files, he stumbled across the bizarre light going at an astonishing speed parallel to the horizon through the night sky.

“We’re switched on people, we have long careers in IT,” Mr Mayo said

“But this video, I cannot explain it.

“I’m baffled, and I’m not usually baffled by anything.

"LOST TIME ABDUCTIONS"

 THE LOST LIFE OF A TORTURED MAN

By Chris Holly

(Copyright 2015, Chris Holly - All Rights Reserved)

<Edited by Robert D. Morningstar>

A paranormal researcher friend of mine contacted me about my past interviews with people who have encountered unexplained lost time abduction experiences  He told me he knew a man who suffered from a lifetime of strange lost time events and thought it may be good for him if  to him to talk with me so he would understand he was not alone in this strange unknown of lost time experiences. .

My friend told me the man had been enduring extreme events of high strangenesssince he was a small child.  He did not enjoy talking about them due to the reaction of most people including those who investigate or write about them.  Luckily, my friend was able to convince him to talk to me about what he was going through.

I met with Brian. He is a tall attractive man in his mid 40's. He is well-spoken and friendly.  He lives in a small town in the Pacific North West of the United States with his wife and 4 children. He does not often talk about the odd events that take place in his life, but after telling him about others I have written about (like him) he was willing to tell me part of what he has endured over the last 40 years.

*******

Brian's Ordeal 

Brian's ordeal began when he was a child about four years of age.  He was living with his family in a small sleepy New England town at the time.. He recalls waking up in the middle of the night screaming and frozen in this bed, unable to get up to run to his family for help.  He recalls the terror of this so strongly that it has stayed with him his entire life.

The events always occurred at night when his mother was working a night shift and he and his siblings were alone at home with his father.  He recalls that his father admitted he could hear his son screaming for help  on occasion yet when his father tried to move to help him, he found he was not able to move from where he was as he suffered a strange paralyzed sensation, and could not help Brian because he could not move.    His father would remain paralyzed during these encounters unable to move his arms or legs .

When he could finally rise, he would run into the room only to find Brian alone terrified and crying.  These encounters  remained a family mystery as they never did understand what was happening to them during those strange night time events. Brian would scream for help and his father would not be able to move his body, which would be frozen in a strange state.  The family felt the encounters only lasted for a few minutes, but they were never really sure about anything that took place during the strange events.

Brian's life continued on as a typical little boy on all other levels beyond the strange events at night. That is until he was in his 8th year.  He has a clear memory of an incident that happened to him when he was 8 years old.

He was alone in his room playing when a very tall (at least 7-foot tall) being entered his room. The strange creature was more of a shadow-like being as Brian cannot recall it having any clear features other than wearing a robe type garment.

The being had light behind and around it.  Brian will never forget the crippling fear that he felt as this being came towards him while he sat playing in his room.  He recalls the fear was so overpowering he was not able to yell or move.  He only remembers up to this point and has no memory at all of how the encounter ended.  The fear he felt during this encounter was so horrific that he can still feel it to this day.  He told me he thought his heart was going to pound out of his chest, he was so terrified at the being standing before him.  He does not recall anything else from that point on.

 

Brian lived his childhood and teens in constant fear of having one of these ongoing strange encounters.  He often experienced the feel of a rush of wind pass over him leaving the sound of being in a wind tunnel in his ears.   During this stage of his life, he would also suffer from a pounding vibration in the front of his head.  During these experiences he can recall being touched by hands on his wrists, and eyes.  He could recall the sensation of floating during these episodes, and of being trapped in a dimly lit environment.  He  would feel extreme fear after one of these events occurred, one which would last with him for a very long time.

*******

Life was not secure or happy for Brain as a child...

despite the strangeness of his childhood, Brian grew up and went about his life as"normally" as he could.  He joined the military, and went about the business of becoming and being a soldier.  His life seemed to remain on the road of normal as he went about the work of his military service.  He was discharged after his enlistment ended, and he returned to the ranks of civilian life.

After the military tour, he married and quickly had four children.  He had difficulty holding jobs and found he had to move his family often due to his need to constantly change jobs, which was becoming the ongoing way of Brian's family's life. 

He also found that he was having strange lost time events that were causing him terrible problems with his wife and employers.  Brian would go out to buy milk, or to do an errand for a boss andhe'd be gone for hours instead of the short time the task actually would ordinarily take to do.  He told me that he would start out going about the business of what ever it was he set out to do and end up waking up as if he had taken a nap in a strange place a few hours later with no recall at all how or why any of it happened.  He thought he was having extreme mental issues, which terrified him and had no answers for his odd disappearance.  These events did not take place often but did occur enough to cost him two jobs. 

Brian also was aware that, after these strange experiences, he would suffer a few weeks of illness with stomach issues that  also made it difficult for him to hold a long term job.  His stomach issues became more serious with each event until he ended up in the hospital dealing with them.  

His marriage was also suffering from the strangeness in his life.  He was barely able to support his family and was ill to the point, with odd health problems, that he was not able to be much of a father to his children either.   One ordeal really damaged his marriage when Brian went to do a fast errand to buy milk and bread before dinner for his family and did not return for two days.  He could not recall at all what had happened or where he had been.  All he knows is that he set out in his car for the market a few miles from his home, but woke up two days later to find he was sitting on the town Library steps.  He was just sitting there.  He came around confused and feeling sick as if he had the flu. 

At first, he had no idea where he was.  He was disoriented, ill and worst of all wearing clothes that were not his.   He had no idea where he had been or what had happened to him since he had left his house two days prior or how he ended up wearing someone else's clothes right down to the shoes!

Brian began to panic as he was afraid he was having a mental breakdown of some kind and went to a nearby hospital for help.

*******

At the Hospital ...

Brian told them what had occurred and they admitted him for observation.  They helped him with his flu-like symptoms. However, they found nothing else wrong with him and released him.  They told him his ordeal may have been due to stress.  Brian knew differently, but had no idea where to go for help .

Brian simply tried to pulled himself back, "into life," and hoped against hope that nothing like this lost time event would ever happen to him again.  

This event did however have distinct differences from the others in his past.  Forone thing, the "lost time" was obviously much longer, but this time Brian did have some residual memory of other beings around him. 

He had flashes of memory of a woman who was with him for part of the ordeal, as well as, creatures he could only describe as part human, and part something else, that he thought may have been examining him and the woman in a small room with silver walls that seemed to be made of light, unlike any walls he had ever seen before.  He also was able to locate his car about 6 miles outside of his small town parked behind an old warehouse.  The car had burn marks on its hood and trunk.  A pen and a cheap Bic lighter that was left on the dashboard had been melted into a pile onto the dashboard and the car had a nasty odor 

*******

Black and Blue Bruises - A Sign of Sexual Abuse?

Shortly after this event occurred, Brian was home with wife and kids when he decided to take a shower before going to bed.  His wife was in the bedroom when he entered after his shower to get ready for bed.  His wife took one look at him and started to yell at him in a rage . 

Brian had no idea what had set her off as she blew up at him and started to accuse him of cheating on her.  She pointed at his private parts and demanded to know how he became so black and blue and bruised? 

He looked in the mirror only to discover that he was, indeed, covered in bruises and realized he had been sore and uncomfortable in that area for a few days. He thought little of it until he viewed the extent of the black and blue contusions around his groin area.

Although his wife knew that he was the victim of something beyond his control she became frightened for her children, and for her own safety.  So, his wife packed up the children and moved across the country to live with her parents, leaving him broken, and with a feeling of total helplessness in his situation.

The above story, recounted by Brian, was the last contact that I had with this man, and that was about five years ago.  

Then, I was contacted by the man who introduced me to Brian.  He told me that Brian continued to suffer from stomach issues and he continued to have problems keeping jobs due to his occasional lost time events.  His friend also told me that Brian was able to recall more about the strange beings that were taking him and told my "paranormal friend" that he knew they were draining him, but could only remember what they looked like, and still, he had no recall of what fully took place during his abductions.  Brian was now able to recall a bright light hitting him just before the lost time events occurred, and he had a second car that was burned and smelled oddly after one of these events.

The hardest news to hear was that Brian never was able to return to his family.  Brian became extremely ill after one very harsh lost time event.  He was able to drive himself to an emergency room and sadly, I am told, that is where Brian died.

He was 49 years old.  

I know many of you reading this may say he was simply crazy, or a secret drug user, or have many other reasons to explain the utter strangeness of this man's life.However, I can only tell you what happened and what those who knew him think happened to him.  His family, friends and those who knew him, all claim that the lost time events and horror of Brian's life were true events and these events are the cause of his death.

*******

"Lost Time" - "Missing Time"

During my years of talking to those who have had similar abductions and "lost time" experiences, aka "Missing Time," I have learned that most of those "taken" have stories very much like Brian's experiences.  The people that I have interviewed talk about the aftermath of these events, including illness, debilities, as well as, spine and neck problems that worsen as the events continue throughout their lifetimes. 

I have to admit that in my findings, broken bodies, and frustrated hearts are an ongoing theme among those who are taken against their wills, harmed and returned to a society who views them as unstable, or liars, insane or attention seekers.  Going through such terrible ordeals, and to return, to not be able to find any help at all, does cause these people to become bitter and closed-off, and to become outcasts from society.

I wish I could be one of  those who report all wonderful things by way of abduction, but sadly I have found only hardship, and difficulty, for those taken, which adds another layer of abuse to be cast upon these people.  When it comes to the unknown in the area of abduction, we humans fall on our faces and only further abuse those enduring these events.  I feel sad about it all. 

I also know that Brian is not the only one who has had his life end badly due to the interference of those who are involved with these "lost time abduction" events.  I do know that after years of writing about it, I am sure that Brian was not the first, nor will be the last, to have his life end in this fashion.

I wish we as a society could stop being so ignorant and arrogant about things that we do not understand, and start wanting to know what really is going on "out there"before we allow any more to be sacrificed to the unknown. It is time for us to  understand, the real mystery is why we refuse to want to know,

"THE HISTORIC LAGUNA LAKE 'THEREMIN UFO' INCIDENT

 

The Historic “Laguna Lake ‘Theremin UFO’ Incident”

By Jeff Krause, MUFON Investigator

(Copyright 2015, Jeff Krause – All Rights Reserved)

<Edited by Robert D. Morningstar>

*******

On November 06, 2015, a local San Luis Obispo (SLO), California photographer was atLaguna Lake photographing birds, when he had an encounter with a UFO that he will never forget. The photographic evidence for this case is very compelling, however, what makes this a more significant case is not so much what he saw, but rather because of what he heard.

I first heard about this case when I was out walking my dogs, and ran into a neighbor of mine who I had met previously when we were both out in the neighborhood with our cameras takingpictures. Since he wishes to remain anonymous, for reasons that will be very clear as I go on, I will not use his name. Because I find made-up names to be confusing, I will just refer to him as “the witness”. Suffice it to say that we had previously struck up a friendship over photography, not UFOs, although we had touched upon the subject before, and he was aware of my status as State Director So CA for MUFON.

The witness is a retired Army Veteran, who served four years active duty back in the 1960s.  He learned about photography from the airmen who worked at Lajes Air Force Base in the Azores, back in 1961, and had his own darkroom for a while.  Today he prefers using the Nikon D800 and a Nikon D90. When asked to summarize his job in the Army this is what he had to say:

“I was asked to join the Army Security Agency because of my test scores.  The ASA units served with regular army units but we took our orders from DIRNSA, Director, National Security Agency not the Department of Defense.  My job was a Communications Center Specialist.  I was granted a Top Secret Crypto clearance to do the job.  I had access to Sensitive compartmented information that was contained under the UMBRA code word and access to information considered way above Top Secret, which I cant talk about.”

Hopefully this explains why he wishes to remain anonymous for now, and also establishes his credibility.

The witness also relies on hearing aids, and has some remarkable ones that are made bySiemens called Pure Binax. They use a Hearing Loop Induction technology that enables signals from compatible devices to be directly transmitted to the users hearing aids.  This comes in handy at places such as theatres, museums, and other places that use the compatible systems.  They also played a key role in the witness’ experience.

The witness explained all this to me as we continued walking my dogs, but then when he told me how it was relevant, I asked him to send me an email detailing exactly how the pictureswere taken.  Here is part of his email:

“I think that I heard the sound of an unidentified object and captured that same object with my Nikon D800 on 6 Nov 2015 at the dry lake bed of Laguna Lake.”

*******

“I am a Veteran and got brand new hearing aids on Oct 5th at the clinic here in SLO.  They include the feature to use inductive hearing at movie theaters etc. that have that system.  I was taking HDR images of the dry lakebed.  A group of 5 images, same f-stop, different shutter speeds to gather all the image data, then move camera 15 degrees and repeat until panorama is complete.  I took the photos with a Professional camera; a Nikon D800 mounted on a tripod at 4.5 frames per second.  I took the first group of 5, then rotated the camera 15 degrees and grabbed the remote to press the shutter and there was a very loud noise coming thru my hearing aids that went from one side to the other and was gone.  I was stunned, but being new to hearing aids I just got on with my pictures.  When I got home I downloaded the photos from the camera into the computer."

Then, using Photoshop Lightroom, I assembled the HDR image from the 7 groups of 5images.  Upon looking at the completed images, I noticed that a bird had been in the scene on the second group of 5.  And then I noticed that in addition to the multiple images of the bird there was the image of a Disk-shaped object, but I found only one.  I checked the RAW files produced by the camera, and the object is only on the 1st of the 5 images from the second set. ”

The UFO, a Cessna Sky Hawk, and a real hawk, all captured in the same photo have been enlarged and enhanced by photo analyst Robert Morningstar , as shown below and others that follow.

The photo shown above is the only photo out of the set showing the UFO object in it.

Also visible in photo are an airplane, and some birds, all (except the UFO) are visible in the other photos

.

Below is a copy of the picture that I adjusted the contrast on, and cropped to show only theobject. As you can see, the details are rather startling, and do not appear to be a “bug” or a“bird.”. It would appear to have two appendages coming from it, equidistant from each other, and a dome or bubble on the top and center.

*******

Here I have resized the captured object, and tweaked the exposure to bring out details of the object.

Further adjustments (shown below) brought out more details.

*******

Normally, when a witness says that they did not see anything at the time when the picture was taken, it turns out to be nothing more than birds, insects, or water drops on the lens, so it was quite surprising to find something so interesting in his photograph.

In the enlargement above and the “equalized” enhancement done by Robert Morningstar, shown below, one can more clearly see either an exhaust plume, emanating from the UFO or, perhaps, an appendage of some sort that is not easily distinguishable in the unequalized close-up.

However, I think it is much more important that the hearing aids that the witness was using were apparently able to  capture the sound produced by the UFO, either from an energy field surrounding the object, electromagnetic interference, or perhaps, it may have been produced by the UFO propulsion sytem, i.e., the UFO’s ElectroMagnetoGravitic (EMG) Drive itself.

The witness described the unusual sound to me as being very loud, and that it sounded like a Theremin, an electronic musical instrument, invented in Soviet Russia in 1920 by a young Russian physicist named Lev Sergeyevich Termen (known in the West as Léon Theremin).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theremin 

The eerie sound of a Theremin is familiar to us all from 1940s & 50s science fiction movies, such as “The Day the Earth Stood Still” and “The Man From Planent X.”

The witness also reported that he heard the sound of the UFO, picked up and amplified by the high tech hearing aids, traveling through his head from one side to the other, in less than a second.  

I find the testimony about the sound, coupled along with the picture and the analysis I’ve done of it, to be compelling evidence that the witness captured a unique, and  excellent photo of a genuine UFO, which has been dubbed “The Laguna Lake ‘Theremin UFO’ Incident“ by Robert Morningstar, Editor of UFO Digest.

Strange Ball Of Light Captivated The World When It Lit Up Over Australia

(Before It's News)

In the Australian city of Canberra, a strange ball of light recently appeared in the night sky. No one has come up with a concrete answer about what this thing is, but people are letting their imaginations run wild. Some suggest that this is a UFO, and others seem to think that it’s merely a ball of lightning. In any case, it certainly looks bizarre. Experts insist that it’s lightning, but if you’re not convinced, you’re not alone. Many people still believe that scientists are just trying to cover up the fact that it’s an alien aircraft. Who do you believe? Sound off in the comments below

May 2015 i meet the OX team in Stockholm, together with some other good friends related to the team.
I cannot state what is laying on the bottom of the sea, but i do know these guys and when they say it does not appear natural.... then I believe them. We had a long and interesting talk about the BSA (stuff for another good time).
These guys have no interest in lying or or in any way make up a story like this.
Believe me when I say that if they could choose... then they would rather be without all this.
No Matter if the BSA is a Rock, a man made construction, or a UFO.... Its a part of our history now.
The BSA and the whole story and journey for the truth has a special place in my heart until the day i die.

Bestaan vliegende schotels echt? Wetenschappers zoeken het uit!

Sinds het Roswellincident in 1947 worden overal ter wereld UFO’s gespot. In Nederland is er zelfs een UFO-meldpunt, waar gemiddeld 75 meldingen per maand binnenkomen over ongeïdentificeerde vliegende objecten. Hoog tijd dat er echt onderzoek naar wordt gedaan, vinden de wetenschappers van het UFODATA-team.

De ‘believers’ – zij die geloven dat ufo’s een buitenaards oorsprong hebben – worden door de sceptische mensen regelmatig voor gek verklaard. Maar is dat wel terecht? “De mensheid weet nog erg weinig over de ware aard van onverklaarde UFO-meldingen”, schrijven de onderzoekers op de site van UFODATA. “Alleen door serieus wetenschappelijk onderzoek kunnen we het mysterie oplossen.”

De wetenschappers willen onverklaarbare fenomenen in de lucht fotograferen en analyseren (bijv. met een magnetometer en stralingsmeters) om erachter te komen wat ze daadwerkelijk zijn. Hierdoor wordt een database opgebouwd, die gebruikt kan worden om onderzoek te doen naar UFO’s. Ook kunnen nieuwe meldingen gemakkelijk geclassificeerd worden.

Crowdfunding
UFODATA is een gecrowdfund project. Dit betekent dat je kunt doneren om bij te dragen aan het onderzoek naar UFO’s. Een traditioneel model – waarbij de overheid of universiteiten voor het onderzoek betalen – is niet mogelijk, omdat er een taboe rust op het onderwerp. De onderzoekers hebben minstens enkele tientallen duizenden euro’s nodig om een basisstation te maken met instrumenten, sensoren en camera’s. Vervolgens wordt het station ergens neergezet, waar het een jaar lang getest wordt. Op een later tijdstip moeten er meer stations komen, waardoor een wereldwijd netwerk opgezet kan worden.

Twee kampen
Een lid van het UFODATA-team is Leslie Kean, auteur van het boek “UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go on the Record.” Ze is geen ‘believer’, zegt ze tegen Inside Outer Space. “Ik ben een journalist en geen ufoloog en zie mijzelf als agnost als het gaat om de oorsprong van UFO’s.” Ze ergert zich aan de strijd tussen believers en sceptici. “Believers zijn ervan overtuigd dat UFO’s buitenaards ruimteschepen zijn, terwijl sceptici beweren dat UFO’s niet bestaan. Beide uitgangspunten zijn niet rationeel.”

Geloof jij in UFO’s?
Ben jij een believer of een scepticus? En zie je de noodzaak in van een onderzoek naar UFO-meldingen of is verspilde energie? Laat een reactie achter onder dit artikel!

UFO Hunters Turn Up Rare Disney Alien Documentary, But Is It Part Of A Disclosure Conspiracy?

UFO hunter nexus r/UFOs have turned up a Disney documentary about UFOs and aliens that was originally used to promote the “ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter” experience (The Wikipedia page describes the attraction, hilariously, as “theater-in-the-round”) that anchored Disney World’s Tomorrowlandfrom 1994 to 2003. 

While numerous UFO sites are running the Disney documentary as a “lost” film, it has been available on YouTube for several years. Nevertheless, the “lost” Disney UFO documentary is a fascinating glimpse into both mainstream reportage on alien visitation and the modern UFO conspiracy mindset, which views the documentary as existing in a continuum of “disclosure” material designed to prime humans for the eventual reveal of extraterrestrial contact.

You can watch the Disney UFO documentary Alien Encounters: From New Tomorrowland, complete with Mickey Mouse, right here:

Walt Disney UFO Documentary

- ‘Alien Encounters’

UFOs And The Mouse House

As sensationalized as any History Channel “documentary,” the combination of earnest alien abduction testimony, discussions of government disinfo campaigns, and panspermia is jarring when juxtaposed with the pitchman announcer and theme park promo vibe. But that’s nothing compared to what many UFO researchers believe Disney has done to cover-up the existence of extraterrestrial contact with Earth.

Redditor AnotherPint does a nice job characterizing the conspiracy mindset as it relates to this “lost” Disney UFO documentary:

“According to lore, the doc, which weirdly treats UFOs and aliens as virtually established fact, was shown once, without warning, on a few isolated small-market TV stations in quieter parts of the US, then stowed away.

The conspiracists' view is that this was part of a covert government-Disney collaboration to test public reaction to UFO disclosure. But there is no evidence of this. It was merely a tie-in promotion for a new Disney World attraction.”

It was at a 1979 MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) Symposium when the alien disclosure theories surrounding Walt Disney first exploded into the conspiracist consciousness. 

The Walt Disney Alien Disclosure Conspiracy

Disney animator Ward Kimball (who is also credited with the rumor that Walt Disney’s dead body had been cryonically frozen) claimed that in 1955 Walt Disney was contacted by the United States Air Force to make a documentary that would unveil government UFO footage to the world. According to Kimball, animated segments were commissioned and work began, but the government reneged, choosing instead to keep alien contact a secret.

Since then other witnesses have claimed to have seen Disney-held footage of UFOs and even documentary proof of alien crash survivors interacting with Air Force personnel. 

While no hard evidence has ever emerged to support these fantastic claims, it’s easy to see how the Disney UFO documentary Alien Encounters could be interpreted bybelievers as existing in a continuum of UFO evidence purposefully withheld from the public, as a government prone to cover-ups experiments with the best way to disclose Earth’s relationship with extraterrestrial life.

But even for non-believers, the “lost” Disney UFO documentary Alien Encounters: From New Tomorrowland is an engrossing peek into the ephemera scattered throughout the history of our world’s most powerful movie studio.

UFO Sighting Video Over Hessdalen

Another UFO sighting video has made rounds online. It shows an apparent UFO over Hessdalen, a village in Norway that is famous for UFO sightings for the last few decades. People living in the area have put up live cams just to catch some UFO activities.

Many UFO enthusiasts have claimed that governments from around the globe know about the alien flying object in the area, but they don’t care.

According to the story, the place has an underground base and aliens are coming in and out as they want. Some suspect that the underground station has been there for tens of thousands of years. If this theory is right then thinking Earth as owned by humans may not be correct. Humans might be new on this planet while aliens might be here for eons.

Hessdalen is a very remote area in the country with decades of history of UFO sightings. The uploader of the video said he noticed slight flashing, so he started recording. He thought of fireworks since it was New Year and the flashing was too frequent for lightning. Then he realized the field typically has sheep, so he ruled out fireworks as they can scare the livestock and others.

Surprisingly, the orb speeds over the terrain very quickly, and it vanishes into the thin air toward flashing light on the top right of the frame.

Cylinder UFO Hovers Near Puerto Rico

A jet passenger spotted cylinder-shaped UFO at an altitude below the jet’s 37,000 feet while flying between Florida and Puerto Rico, according to Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) Case 56602.

The strange event happened at 11:15 a.m. on March 12, 2014, and it was reported to MUFON on May 25, 2014.  Ohio MUFON State Director Thomas Wertman investigated the case and closed it as unknown.

According to the report, the witness was in a passenger jet flying to Puerto Rico on Jet Blue Flight #1938. The plane departed at 10:15 a.m. in Orlando, FL, and was expected to arrive at 12:59 p.m. The UFO was spotted in the north of Mona Passage, approximately 45 minutes before landing.

The unnamed witness and his daughters noticed and observed the mysterious flying object. He revealed that other people in the jet also observed the anomaly as others even commenting about it. They saw the object hovered, which was very strange.

After their arrival, the reporting witness checked online to know if there were reports about visible stars or satellite at the same time of their UFO sighting. However, his research revealed nothing. The video shows round top and bottom of the object. It’s difficult to tell the size of the subject matter since there’s no solid background object to compare. The silver or metallic UFO seems to expand and contract.

MUFON Ohio Director Wertman said that the reporting witness used a Kodak C813 digital camera. It was taken on March 22, 2014, at 11:22 a.m. based on the camera’s date and time. The flight details were taken from the Flightaware website.

On Wertman’s investigation, the arrival of the aircraft wasn’t at 12.59 p.m., but at 12:37 p.m. The passenger plane would have been off the Turks Islands if the approximate time of the witness was correct. Wertman said that the estimate of 45 minutes by the witness appeared not right. The camera’s time of 11:22 p.m. put the jet near San Salvador, explained Wertman.

The witness can be seen in the video pointing at the object. Wertman stated that the object didn’t appear to be a reflection of the window. The UFO doesn’t move consistently with the camera movements. The witness also seems to point down at the object.

Based on the flight path, the aircraft was traveling at 37,000 feet, according to Wertman. Based on the video and report, the object appeared below the jet’s altitude. The UFO seems to be stationary and highly reflective.

The investigator said that the combination of the data from Flightaware and the video was inconclusive on identifying the unusual object.

Will 2016 Be the Year Elon Musk Reveals his Mars Colonial Transporter Plans?

There are several space stories we’re anticipating for 2016 but one story might appear — to some — to belong in the realm of science fiction: sometime in the coming year Elon Musk will likely reveal his plans for colonizing Mars.

Early in 2015, Musk hinted that he would be publicly disclosing his strategies for the Mars Colonial Transport system sometime in late 2015, but then later said the announcement would come in 2016.

“The Mars transport system will be a completely new architecture,” Musk said during a Reddit AMA in January 2015, replying to a question about the development of MCT. “[I] am hoping to present that towards the end of this year. Good thing we didn’t do it sooner, as we have learned a huge amount from Falcon and Dragon.”

Big Rockets

As far as any details, Musk only said that he wants to be able to send 100 colonists to Mars at a time, and the “goal is 100 metric tons of useful payload to the surface of Mars. This obviously requires a very big spaceship and booster system.”

He has supposedly dubbed the rocket the BFR (for Big F’n Rocket) and the spaceship similarly as BFS.

He has supposedly dubbed the rocket the BFR (for Big F’n Rocket) and the spaceship similarly as BFS.

And he wants it to be reusable, which Musk and SpaceX have said is the key to making human life multiplanetary. The recent successful return and vertical landing of the Falcon 9’s first stage makes that closer to reality than ever.

While SpaceX has no publicly shared concept illustrations as of yet, a few enthusiasts on the web have shared their visions of MCT, such as this discussion on Reddit , and the drawing below by engineer John Gardi, who recently proposed his ideas for the MCT on Reddit.

A sketch shows how the top section of the Mars Colonial Transporter might be configured.

Most online discussions describe the MCT as an interplanetary ferry, with the spaceship built on the ground and launched into orbit in one piece and perhaps refueled in low Earth orbit. The transporter could be powered by Raptor engines, which are cryogenic methane-fueled rocket engines rumored to be under development by SpaceX.

The future line-up of Falcon rockets is compared to the famous NASA Saturn V. The first Falcon Heavy launch is planned for 2015. Raptor engines may replace and upgrade Heavy then lead to Falcon X, Falcon X Heavy and Falcon XX. The Falcon X 1st stage would have half the thrust of a Saturn V, Falcon X Heavy and XX would exceed a Saturn V’s thrust by nearly 50%. (Illustration Credit: SpaceX, 2010)

The Challenge of Landing Large Payloads on Mars

While the big rocket and spaceship may seem to be a big hurdle, an even larger challenge is how to land a payload of 100 metric tons with 100 colonists, as Musk proposes, on Mars surface.

As we’ve discussed previously, there is a “Supersonic Transition Problem” at Mars. Mars’ thin atmosphere does not provide an enough aerodynamics to land a large vehicle like we can on Earth, but it is thick enough that thrusters such as what was used by the Apollo landers can’t be used without encountering aerodynamic problems such as sheering and incredible stress on the vehicle.

“Unique to Mars, there is a velocity-altitude gap below Mach 5,” explained Rob Manning from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in our article from 2007.“The gap is between the delivery capability of large entry systems at Mars and the capability of super-and sub-sonic decelerator technologies to get below the speed of sound.”

With current landing technology, a large, heavy human-sized vehicle streaking through Mars’ thin, volatile atmosphere only has about 90 seconds to slow from Mach 5 to under Mach 1, change and re-orient itself from a being a spacecraft to a lander, deploy parachutes to slow down further, then use thrusters to translate to the landing site and gently touch down.

90 seconds is not enough time, and the airbags used for rovers like Spirit and Opportunity and even the Skycrane system used for the Curiosity rover can’t be scaled up enough to land the size of payloads needed for humans on Mars.

NASA has been addressing this problem to a small degree, and has tested out inflatable aeroshells that can provide enough aerodynamic drag to decelerate and deliver larger payloads. Called Hypersonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator (HIAD), this is the best hope on the horizon for landing large payloads on Mars.

The Inflatable Reentry Vehicle Experiment (IRVE-3) was tested successfully in 2012. It was made of high tech fabric and inflated to create the shape and structure similar to a mushroom. When inflated, the IRVE-3 is about 10-ft (3 meter) in diameter, and is composed of a seven giant braided Kevlar rings stacked and lashed together – then covered by a thermal blanket made up of layers of heat resistant materials. These kinds of aeroshells can also generate lift, which would allow for additional slowing of the vehicle.

“NASA is currently developing and flight testing HIADs — a new class of relatively lightweight deployable aeroshells that could safely deliver more than 22 tons to the surface of Mars,” said Steve Gaddis, GCD manager at NASA’s Langley Research Center in a press release from NASA in September 2015.

NASA is expecting that a crewed spacecraft landing on Mars would weigh between 15 and 30 tons, and the space agency is looking for ideas through its Big Idea Challenge for how to create aeroshells big enough to do the job.

With current technology, landing the 100 metric tons that Musk envisions might be out of reach. But if there’s someone who could figure it out and get it done, Elon Musk just might be that person.

‘Best piece of UFO evidence in years’ filmed by NASA as Tim Peake docked with ISS

THIS footage of the International Space Station apparently surrounded by Unidentifed Flying Objects (UFOs) this week as been branded “the best piece of evidence in years” for the existence of aliens.

By Jon Austin

The footage has caused a storm after being uploaded on a video by YouTube channel Mister Enigma entitled “UFOs seeen everywhere during Soyuz docking on NASA USTREAM.”

It shows a portion of the docking between the Russian Soyuz TMA-19M spacecraft and International Space Station (ISS) on December 15, when Tim Peake became the first British astronaut to board the space station.

In the video, the narrator, who speaks with a creepy robotic voice, says: “This video, which was taken by the ISS on Tuesday during the docking between the Souyez spacecraft and the ISS is the best piece of UFO evidence captured in years.

“Dozens of UFOs can be seen in the background – some zipping off in the distance, others gently floating by, and even one gigantic doughnut-shaped UFO that seems to inspect the event.

“Once the camera zooms out the sun seems to light them up.”

“Once the camera zooms out the sun seems to light them up.”

Several objects are seen passing the ISS in the clip including the doughnut (ringed)

The new footage has been likened to the “Tether UFO incident” of 1996, when a satellite which was tethered to a space shuttle broke off.

MISTER ENIGMA, VIDEO NARRATOR

When it was later filmed by the astronauts on board, it appeared to be swarmed by hundreds of “UFOs” that appeared like organisms swimming in a sea.

The narrator continued: “How crazy is this?

“The footage is like the infamous UFO tether video that took place in the 90s, and it’s very strange that it aired live and did not get cut off like most ufo’s that are seen on the NASA screen.”

During the tether incident footage the objects are brushed off by the astronauts as being “some of the debris that follows us being caught by sunlight.

Others have said these weird anomalies in NASA space videos are ice particles or just lens flares.

Scientists Figured Out Where Aliens Might Be Hiding — And How We Could Talk to Them

At the edges of our galaxy, tens of thousands of light-years away, massive, dense clusters of stars glom together like a humongous interstellar house party. This is where, according to astrophysicists from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, we might find intelligent alien life.

The CFA's lead author, Rosanne DiStefano made this hypothesis at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society on Wednesday, and — believe it or not — her logic checks out.

Let's say finding intelligent life is a hypothetical one-in-a-million chance. By the center's estimation, there are 150 globular clusters in our Milky Way galaxy, each holding roughly a million stars per 100 million light years. Plus, they're old — like, 10 billion years old — and stable, meaning they didn't get nailed by cataclysmic, planet-destroying gamma-ray bursts..

It could be that these globular clusters are full of planets twice as old as our own, that had billions more years to develop. The Fermi paradox, a theory of why alien life hasn't found us yet, refers to these clusters as Planet X.

To date, according to the center, only one planet has been found in a globular cluster. This may be because, according to current theories, the globular clusters in our galaxy don't have the heavy elements to build stable planets.

But DiStefano and her colleague, Alak Ray from the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai, said it's premature to say there aren't planets in these clusters. Exoplanets, or planets that orbit a stars other than our own, have been found near stars that have just one-tenth of the heavy elements of our own sun.

In fact, if these globular clusters do have planets, they're probably extremely close together. That means those planets could communicate much easier with one another than with Earth. "We call it the 'globular cluster opportunity,'" DiStefano said on Wednesday. "Sending a broadcast between the stars wouldn't take any longer than a letter from the U.S. to Europe in the 18th century."

So there could be a chance that Earth is missing out on a huge game of galactic Telephone that's being played on the edge of the Milky Way, with intelligent societies working together to noticeably expand farther into the universe. But according to Robin Hanson, a research associate at Oxford University's Future of Humanity Institute, that would've happened by now.

"If there were life thousands of light years away, it could've been around for millions or billions of years," he told Mic. "If someone is alive out there, they would've long since developed as much as they can. If they didn't spread out [to Earth], it means they're stuck. And just being near other civilizations [in the globular cluster] doesn't make them any less stuck, no matter how much they developed economically and socially."

That doesn't mean we couldn't communicate. 

The issue is that communication is a two-way street. Two civilizations need to look for each other at the same time, know exactly where the other one is and know how to contact it.

"If everyone is looking in random directions, the chance of coordinating communication is small," Hanson told Mic. "You have to find another coordination structure."

-Hanson told Mic about a theory for sending a signal to an alien race, as long as that race has a particular human tendency. It involves really, really bright lights — in this case, a supernova.

.

A supernova is a rare event in which a star violently explodes at the end of its life, giving off a huge amount of light and energy. A civilization would need to turn that flash into what you might call a cataclysmic carrier pigeon.

"Right after you see a supernova, you piggyback off that and send a signal in the same direction," Hanson told Mic. "When you see that light, it will move past the cluster. So there will be that burst of light, and right behind it, the signal. You're going to be waiting a while, but when you see that, we can use it to figure out how to talk effectively."

But keep this in mind when you're thinking about potential planets on the edge of the galaxy. The Milky Way galaxy is roughly 100,000 light-years across. The nearest globular clusters, NGC 6397 and Messier 4, are about 7,200 light-years away. So if we try to send communications to any of the who-knows-how-many planets within them, it would take 7,200 years to receive.

So if you read Mic, aliens, please pick up some of our galactic slack and say hi — we promise we won't try to kill off your entire species.

NASA verspreidt adembenemend panorama van duinen op Mars - HLN.be

Bron: NASA, National Geographic

© NASA.

Tijdens zijn weg naar de top van Mount Sharp heeft Marsrover Curiosity even de tijd genomen om een adembenemende panoramafoto te maken  van de Bagnold-duinen. De duinen bestaan uit een strook zwart zand op de noordwestelijke flank van de berg.

Het panorama is samengesteld uit meerdere foto's, die de Curiosity midden december nam. Volgens de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA zal de Marsrover minstens enkele weken in het gebied doorbrengen, om duidelijkheid te scheppen over de werking van winden op Mars.

Satellietbeelden hebben onthuld dat de duinen op Mars elk jaar een meter verschuiven. De wind doet het zand op de helling van Mount Sharp belanden, waar het zich opstapelt tot er steile duinen ontstaan. Daarna schuift het zand als een mini-lawine naar beneden. De duin die op deze foto te zien is, is ongeveer 5 meter hoog.

Very Strange UFO Sightings that could be real!

The 1965 Sighting In Kecksburg, Pennsylvania

You know you’ve made it in the world of mysterious alien encounters when people refer to your UFO sighting as a bona fide “incident.” Such is the case of the 1965 Kecksburg, Pennsylvania encounter, in which multiple people claimed to have witnessed something crashing into the woods near the town not far from Pittsburgh.

People who saw it claimed the object that fell from the sky was roughly the size of a Volkswagen Beetle, and say that almost immediately after it crashed to earth; the US army arrived and roped off the area. The official report is that it was a meteor crashing down into the woods, though obviously most of the folks who were present to see the object for themselves remained skeptical of this explanation.

To this day the case remains a mystery, a good evidence of a real UFO sighting.

The very strange 1964 sighting in Socorro, New Mexico

One of the most famous UFO sightings in modern United States history took place in the town of Socorro, New Mexico, back in 1964 with the chief witness being none other than a police officer named Lonnie Zamora. Zamora was in pursuit of a speeding car when he saw an object in the sky, shaped like an oval and bearing a bizarre red insignia on its side.

He claims to have seen this object rise from the ground and take off into the distance, and his story drew tremendous media and government attention, including leading to the CIA filing a report on the incident. Zamora came to be known as something of a kook, however, and retired from the police force shortly after the incident.

Case unsolved: The official police reports released 30 years after the event ask more questions than it solves!

The strange mystery of the 1991 sighting in Mexico City

In July of 1991, people living in Mexico City reportedly spotted something strange in the sky at a time when they were expecting to see nothing more or less than a solar eclipse.

However, they were met with something far more out of the ordinary, with numerous people saying they saw an unidentified flying object , with actual journalists reportedly having captured this bizarre flying object on video when trying to film the eclipse. Since this time, there have been numerous reports of UFO’s in the area, but none more peculiar than the UFO spotted that summer by multiple people looking from various positions in the huge city. A few months later, a similar UFO was spotted during an air show in the area, but no explanation has ever been offered.

The shocking sighting of 1991 in Ontario, Canada

In the town of West Carleton, Ontario, a woman named Diane Labenek claimed to have seen an unidentified flying object above a field near her home after hearing her dogs barking. Shortly after the ship took off and vanished, she claimed that a government helicopter appeared at the scene, quickly investigating before heading off in the same direction as the UFO, though there are of course no records of this. However, a few months later, a UFO researcher named Bob Oeschler received a package that included supposed military documents and a videotape featuring the same exact UFO that Labenek had supposedly seen.

All of this is unconfirmed, of course, but makes this one of the most peculiar unsolved UFO sightings in recent history. It is believed to have most likely been a hoax, but it’s still too difficult to determine just who could have perpetrated the hoax, or why.

The odd sighting of 1967 in Manitoba, Canada

Another of the most bizarre supposed UFO sightings in modern history took place at Falcon Lake in Manitoba, Canada, and involved a man named Stephen Michalak. Michalak was a prospector who claims to have encountered not one, but two UFO’s, and after investigating the objects, he was blasted with some sort of hot gas from an exhaust vent that left him with bizarre markings on his midsection and led to his being hospitalized. This remains one of the most bizarre cases of a UFO sighting on record simply because it’s one of the few in which the person who claims to have made contact with alien life suffered a very real, very strange injury.

He suffered from nausea, headaches, and the odd burn markings in a very distinct grid shape across his abdomen. He was probably just into something super kinky, but neither he nor we can come up with a reasonable explanation, so let’s stick with a close encounter for no

OVNIS VS UFOS

Some highly unusual groups of aerial lights appeared over Santiago, Chile, in December, and while the exact date of the incident isn't known, a video caught the objects moving around in very interesting patterns.

After looking at the two-part video, it's easy to wonder why only one person captured the event and from only one vantage point.

According to the Daily Mail, an unidentified woman videotaped the lights from her window while she and others are heard excitedly talking about what they're seeing in the sky.

The first two minutes show four long strips of hovering multiple lights (seen above). Then, one by one, the strips move slowly away from each other. As they do this, you can see smaller, flashing lights on each of them -- they look almost like aircraft on a landing trajectory to an airport.

Here's the complete video:

The second half of the video shows up to seven individual lights or orbs that enter the scene from right in a straight line and appear to come around in a long circle, heading back to the right and out of the picture. The following image is from that formation.

OVNIS VS UFOS

Online comments and explanations for these alleged UFOs included drones, planes, cars coming down a background hill, Chinese lanterns, window reflections and the ever-popular digital editing.

"I found that, for the first part of the video where you see the several sets of four lights traveling in a line, also has within it blinking strobes in typical aircraft strobe patterns. Perhaps it was part of a viral stunt over Santiago," said image and video analyst Marc Dantonio.

"My bet is that it's a light array hanging from ordinary aircraft or from drones. Confirmation of sightings from other locations could tell us if it's more likely aircraft or drone," Dantonio told HuffPost in an email. He's an expert in computer-generated imagery and has been commissioned to create special working models for such clients as the U.S. Joint Chiefs in Washington, Congress, the U.S. Navy and the Smithsonian Institution.

Dantonio noticed that the strip lights in the Chile video tended to sag under their own weight, "slanting slightly downward in the opposite direction of overall travel. I felt that, watching this, I was seeing a situation much like the aircraft that tow those big banners. In those cases, the banner sags and is lower than the altitude of the aircraft. All you need is wind resistance and forward motion."

The video expert also suggests that, where the lights appear to hover, they're more likely heading directly away from you or toward you -- always in some sort of forward motion.

And what about the second part of the video with the individual lights?

"As they make their curved path, you see the light brighten up a lot," Dantonio observes. "This will happen if someone attaches a light fixture to a drone or an aircraft and turns directly toward the camera and points more or less directly at it. So it could be an LED fixture with lights. I also see strobing lights on these, as well, which are common on drones."

"For now," he concludes, "it appears to be a human-made hoax."

Reporting on the UFO Sightings Daily website, Scott Waring takes all of this up a notch.

"This UFO event is not unknown to Santiago, but is actually a yearly thing, when fleets of UFOs leave the underground base in the mountains along Santiago. It is a yearly event for aliens."

So...what exactly does that mean? ETs pick this time of year to fly south for the winter? 

What do you think?

STANFORD PHYSICIST REMINDS US THAT WE HAVE PHYSICAL EVIDENCE OF UFOS

Please scroll down for video 1.1K Peter Sturrock is an emeritus professor of applied physics at Stanford University and one of the very few scientists who has publicly expressed a great deal of interest in UFOs and acted on that interest by twice surveying colleagues on the subject which resulted in some very surprising findings. He is also unambiguous on one particular category of UFO evidence which he happens to know a little bit about . . . . radar reports.

“Yes – radar is physical evidence,” Sturrock stated in an email exchange he was generous enough to grant me.

Professor Sturrock’s involvement with radar dates back to World War II. While studying mathematics at Cambridge University, he interrupted his studies to help in the war effort and joined the Telecommunications Research Establishment in 1942, now known as the Royal Radar Establishment, where he helped develop radar systems.

Skeptics commenting on the UFO phenomenon often claim that a major problem with UFOs is the only evidence are witness sightings, claim they are unreliable and cite a lack of physical evidence. While that is often the case, there are notable exceptions where physical evidence does exist in the form of radar reports and they corroborate the accounts of multiple credible witnesses. There have been a number of famous UFO cases that have involved radar reports and two of the most famous contemporary incidents are the JAL Alaska case from 1986 and the Stephenville, Texas sightings of 2008.

On November 17, 1986, a Japan Air Lines 747 cargo jet, piloted by Captain Kenju Terauchi, was flying westward near Mt. McKinley when he spotted a UFO. “Then there was a kind of reverse thrust, and the lights became dazzlingly bright. Our cockpit lit up. The thing was flying as if there was no such thing as gravity. It sped up, then stopped, then flew at our speed, in our direction, so that to us it looked like it was standing still. The next instant it changed course. There’s no way a jumbo could fly like that. If we tried, it’d break apart in mid-air. In other words, the flying object had overcome gravity,” Terauchi said.

Terauchi and his crew had the sighting but John Callahan, the FAA Division Chief of the Accidents and Investigations branch, had the data. The radar report covered more than a half hour. Callahan states in the following video interview, “As far as I’m concerned, I saw a UFO chase a Japanese 747 across the sky for over half an hour on radar.”

He goes on to say that members of President Reagan’s Scientific Study Team, the FBI and the CIA he met with about the incident expressed excitement at the data.

The Stephenville, Texas case of January 2008 featured dozens of residents of the Texas town and its’ surroundings sighting UFOs. Some reported aircraft the size of a football field and larger. Freedom Of Information Act requests were quickly sent to the FAA, National Weather Service and local Air Force bases by radar expert Glen Schulze and Robert Powell, MUFON Director of Research, seeking radar data for January 8.

In their summary, Schulze and Powell wrote, “The enormous size of the object, its’ complete silence and its’ ability to travel at high rates of speed and to also remain stationary or travel at slow speeds is not explained by any known aircraft. Based on approximate distance of the object and witness descriptions of degrees of sky covered by the object indicated an object closer to 1000 feet in size. Twice, radar picked up an unknown object flying at 1900-2100 mph.”

They discussed their findings in the CNN interview below and the full radar report is available at this link.

I also asked Professor Sturrock if he had a favorite UFO case and he replied, “The Coyne helicopter case.”

On October 18, 1973, the four-man crew of an Army Reserve helicopter heading towards Cleveland from Columbus had an otherworldly encounter with a UFO at about 10:30 PM as they were flying near Mansfield, Ohio.

“This craft, from the angle that we saw it, was cigar-shaped. It had no wings, no vertical or horizontal stabilizer, was approximately 60 feet long, 15-20 feet in height. We were at 1,700 feet, then this craft began to move slowly to the west away from us. At this time, I was worried we were going to hit the ground, and I looked at my altimeter and our helicopter was at 3,500 feet, climbing 1,000 feet a minute with no changes in the control. We went from 1,700 feet to 3,500 feet in a matter of seconds and never knew it!,” Lawrence Coyne, the commander of the helicopter recalled.

There were civilian witnesses on the ground as well.

“I had driven a few blocks from my house and was driving north on Paul Boulevard. I stopped the car once I saw how close the UFO was above the tree line over-looking Sunset Park. The chopper was beneath my view. Here in plain view was the UFO, green light on the front, white light and a red light on the rear on a nearly sixty-foot long dark metallic-grey object that had the appearance of a cigar shaped stogie. I sat in my car marveling at its appearance. It made no sound. Suddenly the UFO shot off towards the northwest and in literally seconds it was the size of a star in the distance. Even faster, the object disappeared from sight.” said Bill Carver, brother of Jim Carver, the author of the article linked above.

Not surprisingly, skeptic Phil Klass attempted to explain the case away but the credibility of the witnesses involved and the detail of their reports render his explanation implausible.

“Any theory of the object’s being a meteor (UFO skeptic Philip Klass maintains that the object was a “fireball of the Orionid meteor shower”) can readily be rejected on the basis of:

      (1) the duration of the event (an estimated 300 seconds);

    (2) the marked deceleration and hard-angle maneuver of the object at closest approach;

       (3) the precisely defined shape of the object; and

    (4) the horizon-to-horizon flight path. The possibility of a high-performance aircraft likewise is untenable when one examines the positions and colors of the lights with respect to the flight path of the object. To have presented the reported configurations, and been in accordance with FAA regulations, an aircraft would have had to be flying sideways, either standing on its tail, tail-to to the helicopter, or upside-down head-on.”

Below is a segment about the case from the 1990s TV show Sightings.

Finally, I asked the professor about his own research into UFOs. In 1973, Professor Sturrock distibuted two questionaires, one to members of the San Francisco chapter of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the other to members of the American Astronomical Society.

The AIAA survey results indicated that “a sample of scientifically trained persons reports aerial phenomena similar to so-called “UFO reports,” and the AAS survey revealed that “a small fraction (of order 5%) are likely to report varied and puzzling observations, not unlike so-called “UFO reports” made by the general public,” according to the professor.

He also noted that, “if you want to find out whether scientists see UFOs you must ask them, and you probably must guarantee them anonymity. Scientists have no doubt been discouraged from taking the problem seriously by the bizarre nature of some of the reports and emphasis upon the “extraterrestrial hypothesis” (ETH).

” Professor Sturrock’s full papers on his findings are available here and here.

Specifically, I asked Professor Sturrock about his opinion on expanding future queries to include social scientists like historians, sociologists and psychologists, professionals who I thought might also have some interest in and be able to contribute to the UFO field.

“I would encourage similar surveys of other professions. Then the results could be compared,” he replied.

Finally, I’d like to thank Professor Sturrock for taking the time to answer my questions and I would also like to thank my good friend, fellow UFO researcher and the pride of Surrey in the UK Peter Mandeville for providing the tip that led to this article.

Documents Show JFK Was Murdered Days After Demanding Answers About UFO’s From The CIA

ST-C232-1-63 27 June 1963 President Kennedy’s trip to Ireland.

Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, Boston. (Wikimedia)

In declassified documents obtained and published by Scott C Waring, editor of UFO Sightings Daily, John F. Kennedy wrote a letter to the head of the CIA demanding their research on alien life and UFOs just days before his death.

The memo is authentic and is a confirmed declassified document released by the CIA.

JFK wrote the memo to CIA on November 12, 1963, only to be killed on November 22, 1963.

In the memo, JFK wrote: “It would be very helpful if you would have the high threat cases reviewed with the purpose of identification of bona fide as opposed to classified CIA and USAF sources. It is important that we make a clear distinction between the knowns and unknowns in the event the Soviets try to mistake our extended cooperation as a cover for intelligence gathering of their defense and space programs. I would like you to arrange a program of data sharing with NASA where unknowns are a factor.”

That same day he wrote a separate memo to NASA asking for “cooperation with the former Soviet Union on mutual outer space activities.”

The situation was obviously of great concern for JFK, because just four days later he visited NASA at Cape Canaveral, Florida, although the details and specifics of his visit are unknown.

More recently, Jimmy Carter promised during his campaign that if he was elected, he would encourage the government release “every piece of information” relating to UFOs and alien life. Coincidentally, there was actually an assassination attempt on Carter during his presidency.

The recent revelations about JFK’s interest in UFO’s have even prompted a response from Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton, who promised to “get to the bottom” of the UFO mystery if she was elected.

“I think we may have been visited already. We don’t know for sure,” Clinton said in a recent interview.

However, UFO expert Scott C Waring says that Clinton is in over her head.

“Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton doesn’t know it yet, but she does not have the power to release such information. CIA would kill her before she could, just like they did JFK. Hillary will be too scared of the CIA to release such information,” Waring said.

Tout l’univers sur une seule photo

Voici le genre de photo qui exige vraiment un objectif grand angle: le musicien Pablo Carlos Budassi a créé une image censée représenter l’univers observable dans sa totalité. Pour ce faire, il a utilisé un grand nombre de photos de la NASAainsi que des cartes logarithmiques établies par l’université de Princeton. Au centre, Budassi a placé  le soleil et le système solaire, entourés par plusieurs galaxies dont notre Voie Lactée et Andromède. Puis, apparaissent le fond diffus cosmologique -ou rayonnement fossile- et l’anneau de plasma, tous deux générés par le Big Bang. 

Il fallait y penser…

L’ idée pour le moins ambitieuse de ramener l’univers aux dimensions d’une seule photo lui est venue de la plus simple des manières: Pablo Carlos Budassi cherchait un cadeau pour le premier anniversaire de son fils qui devra donc attendre quelques années avant de comprendre toute la complexité de cette image. Comme le précise le site Tech Insider, les logarithmes constituent le véritable secret de fabrication de la photo: « Représenter l’univers sous une forme linéaire est peine perdue. En revanche, chaque anneau contient un large pan du cosmos à une échelle bien plus importante que le précédent ce qui permet de faire tenir l’infini dans un cercle.

Une forme parfaite qui était déjà celle privilégiée par les philosophes antiques dont Platon: « Celui qui constitua le monde (…) lui donna comme figure celle qui lui convenait et qui lui était apparentée. (…) Aussi est-ce la figure d’une sphère, dont le centre est équidistant de tous les points de la périphérie, une figure circulaire, qu’il lui donna comme s’il travaillait sur un tour -figure qui entre toutes est la plus parfaite et la plus semblable à elle-même… »

Alien life could thrive in ancient star clusters

• Alexandra Witze

Globular clusters such as Terzan 1 (shown here) contain some of the oldest known stars.

Astronomers may be looking for alien life in all the wrong places. They should be hunting in the dense, old neighbourhoods of stars known as globular clusters, a new study suggests.

Until now, scientists have largely discounted the idea of finding extraterrestrial civilizations in globular clusters, which each contain thousands to millions of stars. Only one of the thousands of known extrasolar planets occurs in such a cluster, and many astronomers think that gravitational interactions among the tightly packed stars would have long ago hurled any accompanying planets into deep space.

But the proximity of all those stars may actually be an advantage for supporting life, says Rosanne Di Stefano, a theoretical astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Lots of closely packed stars could also mean lots of planetary systems not very far from one another. “If there is an advanced society in an environment like that, it could set up outposts relatively easily, because we’re dealing with distances that are so much shorter,” she says.

• Exoplanet bounty includes most Earth-like worlds yet
• So many lonely planets with no star to guide them

With such networking, civilizations in a globular cluster might endure for billions of years, and thus be available for humans to communicate with today or in the future.

Di Stefano reported the work — which she did with Alak Ray of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai, India — on 6 January at an American Astronomical Society meeting in Kissimmee, Florida.

Fertile ground?

In contrast to the defined architecture of a galaxy, globular clusters contain blobs of stars that hover together like swarms of fireflies. The Milky Way is home to about 150 globular clusters, which contain some of the oldest known stars — dating back 10 billion years or more.

In 1974, scientists beamed one of the most famous SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) messages to the globular cluster M13, using the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico. But in the decades since, globular clusters have fallen out of favour for SETI hunts. The only planet known to reside in a globular cluster orbits an ancient pulsar, an environment unfriendly for life¹. And targeted searches have failed to turn up more exoplanets in these clusters². 

But that does not mean that such planets do not exist, says Luca Pasquini, an astronomer at the European Southern Observatory in Garching, Germany. He and his colleagues found planets in an open cluster, a group of stars that is typically billions of years younger and less densely packed than globular clusters³. Astronomers had been sceptical of finding planets in open clusters until they looked, he notes; for globular clusters, he says, “there is room for very exciting discoveries” if astronomers continue to probe.

Stellar sweet spot

DiStefano and Ray began their work after thinking about the advantages that a globular cluster could offer alien life. If a civilization is close to another star system, “interstellar travel becomes a whole different thing,” DiStefano says. Civilizations could theoretically hop from star to star if threatened by cosmic dangers or extinction.

This ease of travel, combined with the ancient age of globular clusters, suggests that intelligent life could exist in these systems longer than in many other places, DiStefano adds. “The civilization might eventually be destroyed,” she adds, “but it would have a better opportunity at transferring members of itself and its knowledge.”

By analyzing the distances between stars in various globular clusters, DiStefano and Ray identified a “sweet spot” where conditions would be stable enough for a planet to form and survive for billions of years. The sweet spot varies from cluster to cluster, but corresponds to an interstellar distance of roughly to 100 to 1,000 times the Earth-Sun distance. If stars are spaced at roughly this distance within a cluster, then civilizations on planets around those stars would not have all that far to travel — or to communicate — with the next star system.

Finding these hypothetical planets is the next challenge. Di Stefano has a list of globular clusters she would like planet hunters to target, topped by one called Terzan 5 near the center of the Milky Way.

Science-fiction readers would be more than happy for her to find some. Isaac Asimov’s classic short story “Nightfall” involves a civilization that lives in a globular cluster, and then loses its collective mind when all six of its suns set at once.

WATCH: UFO filmed entering ‘swirling portal’ over Large Hadron Collider

IT HAS been the fear of some that the mysterious Large Hadron Collider may one day accidentally create a black hole that would swallow the Earth or open a portal to another dimension through which some evil entity or aliens would emerge.

By JON AUSTIN

GETTY•SECTION512•YouTube

Now, allegedly, something very mysterious has happened at the massive scientific installation.

Video footage has emerged on YouTube of TWO occasions when swirling holes formed above the monster scientific experiment run by CERN.

Not all viewers were convinced by their authenticity and many were more impressed by their CGI computer skills which went into producing the videos.

The latest footage appears to show a swirling whirlpool of clouds in the sky before an unidentified flying object UFO flies into the centre of it before all is still again.

However, a number of viewers posted that they thought special effects or CGI were used.

But several viewers were convinced it was real.

The LCH is a huge network of complex underground tunnels on the French Swiss borderwhere the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), which runs it, gets physicists to literally collide atoms together at high speed to try to discover the smallest possible version and hopefully answer how everything in the universe began.

An earlier video posted by the same channel on The YouTube clip called "New Huge phenomenon observed over Geneva - Cern area September 28" showed more swirling clouds and an explosive lightning display.

Many commenters said it was just video of a powerful thunderstorm that had been digitally manipulated.

Others spoke of fears about demons being summoned to Earth, mirroring some of the most outrageous claims made about the LCH is that it is being used to summon demons or aliens to Earth.

But one poster said there was a perfectly natural explanation.

The Westall ‘UFO’ incident still remains a mystery 50 years after it occurred

The truth is out there.

It’s the mystery that has left an Australian suburb divided with witnesses wanting answers.

This year will mark the 50th anniversary of the Westall Incident and those involved are no closer to finding out what occurred on that fateful autumn morning.

It was 11.00am on April 6, 1966, when Australia’s largest mass UFO sighting took place.

Students and teachers from Westall High School and Westall State School, and members of the public claim to have watched as three metallic objects with no obvious markings manoeuvred silently through the sky.

The objects landed in a paddock adjacent to the schools before quickly flying away, leaving large circles of flattened grass with well-defined, discoloured edges behind.

In the hours following the incident, emergency services, the military and the media were in attendance trying to make sense of the baffling encounter.

Several witnesses claim sharply-dressed men in dark suits warned them from speaking about the incident.

The warnings failed to have an effect with a number of witnesses sharing their accounts.

The Dandenong Journal ran with coverage of the incident on its front page for consecutive issues and Nine News also reported the story on its 6.00pm bulletin.

However, the film canister containing the footage from the incident has since been found empty in the station archives.

Despite the initial coverage and a number of possible explanations, the incident still remains shrouded in mystery.

WITNESS ACCOUNTS

Researcher Shane Ryan has spent the last decade of his life investigating the incident and after speaking with more than 100 primary witnesses, he believes something strange occurred.

“It was so unusual ... it occurred in broad daylight and had been seen by so many people landing on the ground, before taking off again,” he told news.com.au

“The event was obviously sizeable enough to muster a big response. Whatever it was that happened led to government agencies examining the site and taking soil samples.”

Mr Ryan said he believes there has been a concerted effort to keep the incident under wraps.

“[The media] kept meeting an official wall of silence, so it just stopped being a story and only remained as a memory for those involved,” he said.

Joy Clarke was 12 and a half at the time and vividly remembers the events that occurred that day.

“I was in class when students rushed in and told us the story. We rushed down to the oval and I saw three flying saucers on that day,” she told news.com.au

“My personal belief is they weren’t of this world. They were definitely from somewhere else because I have never seen anything like it all.

“The army had arrived and the police were there. We were told we were hysterical and it didn’t happen, while men in black interviewed some of the other kids.”

More coverage from the local paper.

Terry Peck was playing cricket on the school oval when she saw the saucer and decided to chase it to Grange Reserve.

“I was about six metres away from it. It was bigger than a car and circular. I think I saw some lights underneath it,” she told the Herald Sun.

“Two girls were there before me. One was terribly upset and they were pale, really white, ghostly white. They just said they had passed out, fainted. One was taken to hospital in an ambulance.”

The now-56-year-old said no time was wasted in covering up the incident.

“We all got called to an assembly ... and they told us all to keep quiet,” she said.

“I’d absolutely just like someone to come forward from the services just to say ‘yes, it did happen, and it landed and there was a cover-up’.’’

Jacqueline Argent said she was one of the first three kids over the fence to look for the UFO landing site.

“Originally I thought it must have been an experimental-type aircraft, but nothing has emerged like that after all these years,’’ she said.

The now-58-year-old told how she was called into the headmaster’s office and interrogated by three men immediately following the incident.

“They had good-quality suits and were well-spoken,” she said.

“They said, ‘I suppose you saw little green men’.

“I spoke to my parents about it at the time and they were pretty outraged.’’

Stephen Cairns also claims to have witnessed the strange phenomenon.

The then-seven-year-old was living in Dandenong and walking to school with his mother after a dentist appointment when it occurred.

“In the distance I saw a silvery disc-like object. However, at first, it was so far away I was not quite sure what it was,” he told news.com.au

“The silvery disc-like object moved with amazing speed until it was directly above us ... it hovered for a few moments then, as quickly as it came, it flew away.”

Suesan Crosthwaite, Pauline Kelly, Terry Peck and Kevin Hurley can remember vividly the 6th of April 1966 when mysterious flying objects flew overhead and landed a short distance away.

LOGICAL EXPLANATION

Although federal and state government agencies refused to comment about the incident at the time, government documents unearthed in 2014 offer an explanation for the sighting.

The documents revealed a secret radiation-testing project known as the HIBAL program — a joint US-Australian initiative developed to monitor atmospheric radiation levels using large silver balloons equipped with sensors between 1960 and 1969.

Each balloon was equipped with a 180kg payload and was followed by a light aircraft tasked with tracking it and triggering its 12m parachute via radio signal.

Researcher Keith Basterfield said examinations of the documents held by the National Archives and former Department of Supply indicate the mysterious flying object may have been a test balloon that was blown off course after being launched from Mildura.

“My hypothesis is that the incident involved not a UFO, but a high altitude balloon, its parachute and large payload,” he told News Corp.

“The Westall object was described as being a white/silver colour which could describe the colour of an HIBAL balloon or parachute.”

After performing a close review of all available documentation, including that searched through Freedom of Information laws, Mr Basterfield believes HIBAL flight number 292 to be the real culprit.

They are walking among us International UFO Congress gathers

However, he admits he can’t be certain because the paperwork for the launches scheduled for the day before the Westall incident appears to have been lost or destroyed.

“What is strikingly missing is a memo reporting on the actual four launches for April 1966, one of which was scheduled for April 5, 1966, the day before Westall,” he said.

“So we have no (official) knowledge of where flight 292 went.”

When asked about the balloon theory, fellow researcher Mr Ryan said he had his doubts.

“Nothing was collected or picked up from the site as far as witnesses are aware,” he told news.com.au.

“The flying saucer came down and took off again, flying at high speed leaving behind large circles with a well-defined edge around perimeter.

“When a balloon becomes deflated and the gondola goes down, nothing like that happens.”

Hazel Edwards was an English and maths teacher at Westall High on the day of the incident and believes it has been blown out of proportion.

The self-proclaimed skeptic suggests overly excited kids made up the story and were responsible for the media hype.

“I think there were a lot of kids that were hyped up,” she told news.com.au

“Look at the so-called evidence, most of it is just hearsay.”

Mr Ryan said while he is open to the idea of a down-to-earth explanation, none so far seems to fit the bill.

“What we’re hoping for is someone in an official capacity coming forward and talking about what happened.”

The landing site has since been turned into a memorial park to reflect the 1966 Westall UFO Incident.

Mysterieuze ruimtebollen vallen uit de lucht in Vietnam

Het Vietnamese leger doet momenteel onderzoek naar de herkomst van drie metalen bollen die in het noorden van het land uit de lucht zijn gevallen.

Het grootste object weegt zo’n 45 kilo en is ontdekt in de provincie Tuyên Quang, meldt de websiteThanh Nien News. Een tweede bol kwam neer in een tuin in de provincie Yên Bái. De lichtste van de drie bollen kwam terecht op een dak en rolde vervolgens op de grond.

Lokale bewoners hoorden vlak voordat de bollen werden gevonden een hard geluid dat deed denken aan donderslag. Het Vietnamese ministerie van Defensie vermoedt dat de objecten afkomstig zijn van een vliegtuig of raket. Ze zouden ongevaarlijk zijn.

Het ministerie zei dat de bollen gemaakt zijn in Rusland, maar voegde toe dat onduidelijk is of ze later zijn verkocht aan een ander land.

Ruimtevaartexpert professor Nguyen Khoa Son denkt dat de bollen onderdeel vormden van een oude satelliet die niet is opgebrand in de aardatmosfeer. Hij vertelde aan de website Vietnam Bridge dat de objecten niet beschadigd lijken te zijn, wat wijst in de richting van een mislukte satellietlancering.

Het grote onbekende: Een reusachtige oceaan in het binnenste van de aarde

The Aurora Incident

by James L. Choro

One hundred and seven-odd years ago, a most unusual incident occurred in the tiny North Texas town of Aurora. It was here that one of the earliest documented encounters with an alien life form took place, in the early morning hours of April 19, 1897. 

Aurora, Texas, is literally "the town that almost was" as the town’s tiny history book states, and one of its few, if not its only, claim to fame is the burial site of an alien pilot that crashed there in his “airship”, the most memorable event in a string of UFO sightings which covered a three state area between 1895 and 1898.

Aurora is located just off US 287 west of Rhome, about a mile south, on State Highway 114 to Bridgeport. There is a sign beside the highway that says CEMETERY, and points south toward the graveyard. Interestingly enough, the historical marker at the site actually includes the word "spaceship". Newspapers, along with diaries and letters by local residents, reported that an alien craft hit a windmill and was torn to pieces, along with its occupant in April, 1897. A 1986 movie, "The Aurora Encounter," produced by Charles B. Pierce, tells the tale. The official historical marker was installed by the State of Texas, and although nobody knows exactly where the grave is located, it is certain that the alien was, in fact, buried in the Aurora Cemetery, after the efforts of the local doctor failed to save it’s life following the crash. There is, unfortunately, no sign of the tombstone. It was stolen some years ago and never recovered. There are, however, picture records of its existence. There is currently a renewed movement in town to exhume the body of the alien, replace the headstone and do a complete search for remains of the crash. Also, there have been several interesting pieces of metal found in the area that have been confiscated for analysis by the military and never returned.

The historical marker reads as follows:

“Aurora Cemetery”

“The oldest known graves, here, dating from as early as the 1860s, are those of the Randall and Rowlett families. Finis Dudley Beauchamp (1825-1893), a Confederate veteran from Mississippi, donated the 3-acre site to the newly- formed Aurora Lodge No. 479, A. F. & A.M., in 1877. For many years, this community burial ground was known as Masonic Cemetery. Beauchamp, his wife Caroline (1829-1915), and others in their family are buried here. An epidemic which struck the village in 1891 added hundreds of graves to the plot. Called "Spotted Fever" by the settlers, the disease is now thought to be a form of meningitis. Located in Aurora Cemetery is the gravestone of the infant Nellie Burris (1891-1893) with its often-quoted epitaph: "As I was so soon done, I don't know why I was begun." This site is also well-known because of the legend that a spaceship crashed nearby in 1897 and the pilot, killed in the crash, was buried here. Struck by epidemic and crop failure and bypassed by the railroad, the original town of Aurora almost disappeared, but the cemetery remains in use with over 800 graves. Veterans of the Civil War, World Wars I and II, and the Korean and Vietnam conflicts are interred here”.

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

Aurora brings up images of high-speed space travel. In fact, the newest space shuttle in the NASA fleet is named 'Aurora' after the UFO incident that took place in 1897. In 1997, the 100th anniversary of the crash of the unknown “airship” in Aurora, the TV show "Sightings" brought renewed interest to the topic with a special called “One Hundred Years of UFO Cover-ups”, that featured the crash, the efforts of the local doctor to help the dying alien, and the burial of his body in the town cemetery.

This incident has been covered up and ridiculed by the U.S. Government (a standard operating procedure of the MAJESTIC 12 group) and has been widely reported to be a hoax (a weather balloon?). This, to say the least, sounds a lot like Roswell in 1947? The US government has a long history of cover-ups in regards to such occurrences. It is hoped that the current, renewed interest in the incident will last, and that a new investigation will clear up the Aurora event for good, although much time has passed. It is tragic that most, if not all of the original witnesses are long dead, for, at one time, up until around the early seventies, there were quite a few people still living who had been children at the time and not only remember the crash, but remember a rash of “airship” sightings, all over East and North-Central Texas, as well as the stories which were passed down to them from their “elders”. Almost everyone who grew up in those parts of the state have heard stories from their grandparents, or other “old folks” about such events, many of whom were “substantial” citizens, including doctors, clergymen, judges, army personnel, sheriffs and other professionals.

The Aurora crash was, in fact, the culminating event in a rash of “airship” sightings in East and Northeast Texas, Oklahoma, North and Central Louisiana in the period between 1895 and 1898. Robert Atkinson, of Center, Texas, a veteran of the Spanish American War, often told of seeing, as a teenager, strange, “flashing lights” in the sky, as did Polk Burns of the same city. Similar incidents were recountered by Bud Knight, a prominent resident of San Augustine, Texas, who died in 1981 at the age of 108. Lee Choron, who died in 1976 at the age of 94 recalled seeing “moving lights flashing in the sky” while living in Swift, Texas (near Nacogdoches) while in his “teens”. Nor, were civic records and town newspapers of the time completely silent on the matter. Reports, although not common, do exist. On April 22, 1897 in the small central Texas town of Rockland, John M. Barclay was intrigued when his dog barked furiously and a high-pitched noise was heard. He went out, saw a flying object circling about 20 feet above ground. He described it as having an elongated shape, with protrusions and blinding lights, it went dark when it landed, only a short distance from his home. Barclay was met by a man who informed him that his purpose was peaceful and requested some common hardware items to repair the craft. He paid with a ten-dollar bill and took off "like a bullet out of a gun." 

On that same day, April 22, 1897, some one hundred miles away, in the community of Josserand, Texas, Frank Nichols, who lived some five miles east of Josserand, and was one of its most respected citizens, was awakened by what he called a “machine noise”. Looking outside, he saw a heavy, lighted object land in his wheat field. He walked toward it, but was stopped by two men who asked permission to draw water from his well. He then had a discussion with half a dozen “short, dark men” men, apparently the crew of the strange machine. He was told how it worked but could not follow the explanation. 

Three days later, on April 25, 1897, in Merkel, Texas. People returning from church served a heavy object being dragged along the ground by a rope or cable, attached to a “cigar shaped” lying craft. As the assembled crowd watched, the line managed to get caught in a railroad track. The craft was too high for its structure to be visible but protrusions and a light could be distinguished. After the craft hovered in place for about 10 minutes, a man came down along the rope cut the end free, and went back aboard the craft, which flew away toward the northeast. The man was described by all witnesses, as being small and dressed in a light blue uniform.

The next day, late in the evening of April 26, 1897, near the town of Aquila, in South Texas. A local lawyer, whose name was not reported by the press, was surprised to see a lighted object fly quietly overhead as he was riding from his office to his home, just outside the city limits. His horse was scared and nearly toppled his carriage. The object was large, and “oblong”, and sported a bright light that was observed to be sweeping the ground below the object. When the main light was turned off, a number of smaller lights became visible on the underside of the dark colored, metallic craft, which revealed an elongated, transparent canopy. It continued forward, toward a hill, some seven miles to the south of Aquila. When the witness passed the same way, approximately one hour later, he saw the object rising. It reached the altitude of the cloud ceiling and flew to the northeast at a fantastic speed with periodic flashes of light. 

These accounts, all given by respectable witnesses, separated by several hundred miles, yet all in a direct line with Aurora, describe a very similar object. It must be remembered that in 1897, distances were much greater than they are today, and news traveled at a much slower rate. It is inconceivable that there could have been any collusion between witnesses, and highly unlikely that people living in towns separated by several hundred miles, could have heard news or read accounts of happenings in other towns within the space of two or three days. This was a time, it must be remembered, when most news traveled by wire, or by railroad, and unless there was a critical need for residents of one region to have news of another, the expense of wiring such news was avoided. 

Much may be made, in some quarters of the “quaint” descriptions given of the object… it, indeed, must be a single object, or at least identical objects… such as the presence of “machine noises” and “ropes”. This is perfectly understandable in light of the fact that this was a time before sophisticated machinery, especially sophisticated flying machinery was common, or even, for that matter, known. It would be six years before the Wright Brothers would take their first, halting, leap above the ground, and the dirigible airships of such pioneers as the Count von Zeplein, were in the very early stages of development, a continent and an ocean away. Certainly no native ofEast, Central or South Texas had ever seen such an object. It is highly unlikely that very many of them had even heard of such things. Science Fiction of the day was limited to the works of Jules Verne, and the very early works of Herbert George Wells, and it is unlikely in the extreme that residents of a tiny Texas town, only a few years removed from fighting for it’s survival with the Apaches and Comanches would have access to such current works.

The point, is this. The residents of Aquila, Hillsboro, Merkel, Jossarand, Nacogdoches, Swift and Aurora, would describe what they saw in terms that they understood, and could relate to. Any unusual sound, emanating from an obviously “manmade” object would be described as a “machine sound”. Likewise, any form of line, tie-down or connector would be described as a rope, cable or line. A classic example of such a description would be the existence of the “cargo” cults of the South Pacific… religious sects of islanders who being members of a pre-industrial, stone age culture, worship the airplanes that their ancestors first saw during the Second World War, and revere the crews as Gods who brought gifts… “cargo” from the sky. Far fetched? Not at all. Imagine how anyone living today might describe an object from a thousand years or, or so, in our own future.

It is also worthwhile, at this point, to repeat the fact that people of this time and place, late 19th Century Texas, were extremely conservative in nature, skeptical by necessity, and most unlikely to take off on flights of fancy. There would simply be nothing to be gained from concocting a story concerning such a thing as an “airship." They would not only not be believed, their sanity, sobriety and competence would have come into serious question. Unlike today, when, as one must admit, such accounts are commonly hoaxed as an attempt to gain attention and momentary fame, this simply would not have been the case in 1897. The most likely result of such a story, unless absolutely and verifiably true would have been shunning by the community as the “village idiot” or as the “town drunk”. Worse, in the primarily Protestant Fundamentalist religious atmosphere of the time, which, by the way, has changed but little since that time, one would have been considered “blasphemous”, “sacrilegious” and possibly even “Satanic”, and definitely shunned by most “upright” and “upstanding” citizens of the community.

The old “Judge Proctor” place in Aurora, site of the crash, is still locatable, and the town square is still in its original position, but unfortunately most of the original buildings of the town, those dating to the 1890s, are long gone.

Aurora Encounter Forum:

• Subject: Aurora, Texas alien 
  I am the great-great-great granddaughter of Finis Dudley Beauchamp. Dudley is the person who donated the family cemetery to the town of Aurora. My great grandmother, Robbie Reynolds, was the 91 year old person that so many of the online articles mention as having been interviewed in the 1970's.
  
  As much as I wish the whole story were true, the fact of the matter is, it's not. My great-grandmother and I were very close. She said that the whole story was a hoax, and the original interview included that. I'm not sure how the story went from her saying it was a hoax to the story that her parents went to check out the situation, and wouldn't allow her to go. In your article you mention that most people of the time were illiterate. I know for sure that my great-grandmother and her mother and father could read and write very well. I also know that Robbie Townsend, the woman for whom my great grandmother was named, was a teacher. 
  
  I know the truth isn't nearly as cool as the stories that have been told for the last 100 years. I just wanted to set the story straight. -Sincerely, Robbie Fields, El Paso, Texas, April 09, 2005
  
  
• The Aurora story is a total hoax as far as I'm concerned. I spent eight hours searching at the cemetery where the alien is supposed to be buried and found nary a grave. Even if the headstone had been stolen you would think that some one would put something in it's place so people would at least know where he is buried. Plus it is said that photos exist of the headstone but none are ever posted on the internet. We have an eyewitness account that is completely false. The great granddaughter of the woman who supposedly witnessed it said that her grandmother had said it was a hoax at the time she was interviewed but instead it said she is quoted as saying she remember it happening as though it was real. As for the newspaper article in the Dallas Morning News I have searched their archives and no such article exists or was ever written. The only thing about Aurora in that days paper is the farm report. Also mentioned is the city's town square. Unless it was totally demolished in the last few years it doesn't exist either. I drove every road in and out of town and at some point I would have found the town square but never did. This is a very small town. If traveling on highway 114 you pass through the town in about 2:30 min and that's going 45 mph. I doubt one could miss a town square. The newspaper article in all websites but two I've seen credit it to a E.E. Hayden and on the other two the say it was written by a S.E. Haydon who was an amateur writer who wrote the story as a fictional account to help revitalize a dying community. I never found signs of an old military airfield although there is a road in town that is called old base road which seems to [suggest] there was some sort of base in the area. The town doesn't seem to be laid out in base fashion - it just looks like a very small country town with a population of 376. No town to speak of - just farms and houses no main street or town square. If any one can give me better geographic info I would be glad to go out there again and see what I can find because I could never find the "old Proctor place." If someone knows where these things are send it to me and I'll investigate. - Tomy Dudley, tomylee@rock.com, December 27, 2005

ANTARCTICA: NASA IMAGES REVEAL TRACES OF ANCIENT HUMAN SETTLEMENT UNDERNEATH 2.3 KM OF ICE

ARCHEOLOGY

WASHINGTON | Recently released remote sensing photography of NASA’s Operation IceBridge mission in Antarctica led to a fascinating discovery when images revealed what some experts believe could be the existence of a possible ancient human settlement lying beneath an impressive 2.3 kilometers of ice.

The intriguing discovery was made during aircraft tests trials of NASA’s Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS) lidar technology set to be launched on the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) in 2017, that aims to monitor changes in polar ice.

“There’s very little margin for error when it comes to individual photons hitting on individual fiber optics, that is why we were so surprised when we noticed these abnormal features on the lidar imagery,” explains Nathan Borrowitz, IceBridge’s project scientist and sea ice researcher with NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

“As of now we can only speculate as to what these features are but the launching of ICESat-2 in 2017 could lead to other major discoveries and a better understanding of Antarctica’s geomorphological features” he adds.

Although NASA scientist Nathan Borrowitz claims the infrared images are definitely intriguing, other experts claim they are clearly the proof of ancient human engineering

A human settlement buried under 2.3 km of ice

Leading archeologist, Ashoka Tripathi, of the Department of Archaeology at the University of Calcutta believes the images show clear evidence of an ancient human settlement beneath the ice sheet.

“These are clearly features of some sort of human-made structure, resembling some sort of pyramidal structure. The patterns clearly show nothing we should expect from natural geomorphological formations found in nature. We clearly have here evidence of human engineering. The only problem is that these photographs were taken in Antarctica under 2 kilometers of ice. That is clearly the puzzling part, we do not have any explanation for this at the moment,” he admits.

“These pictures just reflect a small portion of Antarctica’s total land mass. There are possibly many other additional sites that are covered over with ice. It just shows us how easy it is to underestimate both the size and scale of past human settlements,” says Dr Tripathi.

Remnants of a lost civilization

Historian and cartographer at the University of Cambridge, Christopher Adam, believes there might be a rationnal explanation.

The map of Turkish admiral Piri Reis in 1513 AD shows the “ice less” coastline of Antarctica

“One of histories most puzzling maps is that of the Turkish admiral Piri Reis in 1513 AD which successfully mapped the coastline of Antarctica over 1,000 years ago. What is most fascinating about this map is that it shows the coastline of Antarctica without any ice. How is this possible when images of the subglacial coastline of Antarctica were only seen for the first time after the development of ground-penetrating radar in 1958? Is it possible Antarctica has not always been covered under such an ice sheet? This could be evidence that it is a possibility” he acknowledges.

« A slight pole shift or displacement of the axis of rotation of the Earth in historical times is possibly the only rational explanation that comes to mind but we definitely need more research done before we jump to any conclusion.”

ICESat-2 (Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite 2), part of NASA’s Earth Observing System, is a planned satellite mission for measuring ice sheet mass elevation, sea ice freeboard as well as land topography and vegetation characteristics, and is set to launch in may 2017.

Evidence for new state of hydrogen: Discovery gives glimpse of conditions found on other planets

Evidence for new state of hydrogen: Discovery gives glimpse of conditions found on other planets

Scientists have recreated an elusive form of the material that makes up much of the giant planets in our solar system, and the sun.

Experiments have given a glimpse of a previously unseen form of hydrogenthat exists only at extremely high pressures - more than 3 million times that of Earth's atmosphere.

Hydrogen - which is among the most abundant elements in the Universe - is thought to be found in this high-pressure form in the interiors of Jupiter and Saturn.

Researchers around the world have been trying for years to create this form of the element, known as the metallic state, which is considered to be the holy grail of this field of physics. It is believed that this form of hydrogen makes up most of the interiors of Jupiter and Saturn.

The metallic and atomic form of hydrogen, formed at elevated pressures, was first theorised to exist 80 years ago. Scientists have tried to confirm this in lab experiments spanning the past four decades, without success. In this latest study from a team of physicists at the University of Edinburgh, researchers used a pair of diamonds to squeeze hydrogen molecules to record pressures, while analysing their behaviour.

They found that at pressures equivalent to 3.25 million times that of Earth's atmosphere, hydrogen entered a new solid phase - named phase V - and started to show some interesting and unusual properties. Its molecules began to separate into single atoms, while the atoms' electrons began to behave like those of a metal.

The team says that the newly found phase is only the beginning of the molecular separation and that still higher pressures are needed to create the pure atomic and metallic state predicted by theory.

The study, published in Nature, was supported by a Leadership Fellowship from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.

Professor Eugene Gregoryanz, of the University of Edinburgh's School of Physics and Astronomy, who led the research, said: "The past 30 years of the high-pressure research saw numerous claims of the creation of metallic hydrogen in the laboratory, but all these claims were later disproved. Our study presents the first experimental evidence that hydrogen could behave as predicted, although at much higher pressures than previously thought. The finding will help to advance the fundamental and planetary sciences."
