The Roswell crash: Air Force balloon or extraterrestrial spacecraft?

If you’re talking about conspiracy theories, sooner or later you’re going to talk about extraterrestrial activity, be it ancient aliens, UFO sightings, abductions, or a combination of all three. Alien-based conspiracy theories are a dime a dozen, but one of them stands oversized grey head and shoulders above the rest, proving itself remarkably resilient even in the face of repeated debunkings: The crash at Roswell, New Mexico.

The Roswell UFO crash

Some time in June of 1947, something crashed to the earth on a ranch in the Roswell, New Mexico area. Something that, if you believe the conspiracy theorists, is, at the very least, a part of a UFO, if not a complete one, possibly including alien life forms, that may or may not have been experimented upon before or after their death. That’s a lot we just dropped on you, so let’s back up some. Here’s what we know.

On July 8, a press release was issued from the Roswell Army Air Field. This initial release acknowledged the crash and claimed that a “flying disc” had been recovered from it, and a subsequent statement from the Air Force claimed that the crash was simply a weather balloon that they had since recovered. They held a press conference, where they showed off wreckage from the crash that seemed to back up the weather balloon claim, and for a moment, it appeared that was that.

Here’s the sticky part though: The thing that crashed to the earth was not a weather balloon. This is not a conspiracy theory or a wild supposition, it’s a fact acknowledged by conspiracy theorists, skeptics and even the United States Air Force. The balloon that crashed to the earth in 1947 was actually part of Project Mogul, an initiative that involved using high-altitude balloons to keep tabs on the Soviet’s atomic bomb tests. But, seeing as the project was top secret at the time, the United Air Force kept the lid on the balloon’s true purpose, a fact that would later help to fuel the countless conspiracy theories around the crash.

Another piece of fuel for the Roswell conspiracy theory is the whole matter of “flying discs.” Prior to the discovery of the crash, civilians had reported sightings of flying discs in the area. Of course, while we can definitely understand how a balloon — especially at night — might resemble a flying disc, in hindsight, it was a poor choice of words for that initial press release, as “flying disc” is remarkably similar to a phrase most commonly associated with alien spacecraft: Flying saucers.

One of the most interesting things about the Roswell conspiracy theory is that it didn’t really pick up steam for more than 30 years. The Air Force’s weather balloon explanation — while not entirely truthful — was more or less accepted by pretty much everyone, until 1978.

That was the year that Stanton T. Friedman, a nuclear physicist and author, kickstarted the conspiracy theories with his research into the event, which prominently featured interviews with Jesse Marcel, who accompanied the crash wreckage from its recovery site to the press conference. Two years later, The Roswell Incident was published, a book that, claiming to have interviewed more than 90 witnesses, suggested that the crash was a UFO that contained alien organisms.

Books about the crash site continued to be published through the nineties, as more and more “witnesses” came out of the shadows, and conspiracy theorists combined their reports, secondhand accounts and a general disbelief in official government stories to build up a massive corpus of oftentimes spurious research. In fact, there are so many books and theories about Roswell that the conspiracy theorists can no longer even agree on simple questions such as how the UFO crashed or how many bodies were recovered from it.

The biggest problem with all of these theories — aside from the fact that they took a full three decades to come to light — is the quality of the witnesses. Though The Roswell Incident claims to have interviewed more than 90 of them, only 25 appear in the book, only seven saw the crash’s wreckage, and of those, only five actually touched it. Other books about the subject share this problem, one where they assign firsthand weight to accounts that are, at absolute best, secondhand — and even that’s being generous.

As a result of the steadily growing interest in the Roswell incident, in 1994, the Air Force came clean about what actually crashed in the desert. It was then that they acknowledged that the crash was actually part of Project Mogul. Three years later, the Air Force even addressed reports of alien bodies, by suggesting that the rumors and conspiracy theories are a result of civilian sightings of casualties from military accidents or even just test dummies. Of course, as one might expect, conspiracy theorists discounted these statements as simply another layer of the cover up.

Another one of the more fascinating aspects of the Roswell conspiracy theories is that they feature practically no hard evidence. While other conspiracy theories can point to photos, videos, eyewitness accounts and a slew of other sources to point out inconsistencies in the official stories they are meant to debunk, when it comes to the Roswell UFO incident, it’s the conspiracy theories themselves that are riddled with inconsistencies and claims that are, quite simply, without any real basis in reality. Even the heavily publicized 1995 alien autopsy video was later revealed to be nothing more than a reconstruction of events that were said to have occurred.

Of course, none of that has kept the true believers from continuing to point at Roswell as an example of both UFO activity as well as the government’s commitment to covering it up, leading to it becoming one of America’s most enduring conspiracy theories.

What do you think? Was the 1947 crash near Roswell simply a test balloon, as the Air Force claims, or even now, almost 70 years later, are they still hiding what really happened? Tell us below in the comments.

Icy 'Spider' Spotted on Pluto in NASA Image (Video)

Giant ‘icy spider’ captured on Pluto’s surface in latest NASA image

NASA Shares Image Of Icy 'Spider' On Pluto

https://youtu.be/mxynOOgo0qo

It's been said that spiders turn your blood to ice. Well, it turns out that an icy "spider" has been found on Pluto.

The "spider" is actually an unusual geological feature that caught scientists completely by surprise. Pictures taken by from the New Horizons spacecraft, which whizzed by the dwarf planet last summer, show a series of long fractures in Pluto's surface, all extending from a single, central point. We created a video tour of the icy "spider on Pluto image to take a closer look at the weird feature.

"The pattern these fractures form is like nothing else we've seen in the outer solar system, and shows once again that anywhere we look on Pluto, we see something different," Oliver White, a member of the New Horizons geology team from NASA Ames Research Center in California, said in a statement from the space agency. [See More Pluto Pictures from NASA's New Horizons Probe] 

A new geological feature on Pluto, informally called a "spider," is puzzling geologists.

The spider picture shows at least six extensional fractions that converge into a central point. (Of course, six legs would technically make this feature an insect, not a spider.) The longest fracture — informally called Sleipnir Fossa — is more than 360 miles (580 kilometers) long. The fractures also cut across different types of terrain. At north and west, they slice across high plains. To the south, they cut across sharper terrain informally known as Tartarus Dorsa.

Scientists have seen fractures on Pluto before, which they say are created when water-ice crust on Pluto expands and causes the surface to crack. But those fractures tend to run parallel to one another, the NASA statement said. The body of the "spider" may have been created by a focused point of stress, perhaps from material coming up from under the surface in this area, the researchers suggested.

While, so far, this feature seems unique to Pluto and the outer solar system, researchers have seen similar shapes on planets closer to the sun.

"The spider somewhat resembles radially fractured centers on Venus called novae, seen by NASA's Magellan spacecraft [at Venus], as well as the Pantheon Fossae formation, seen by NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft on Mercury," NASA officials wrote in the statement.

This image, captured by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft on July 14, 2015, shows the location of the spider-like feature on Pluto's surface.

The new discovery  may support the hypothesis that geologic activity has recently taken place under Pluto's surface.

The image was obtained about 45 minutes before New Horizons reached its closest point to Pluto on July 14, 2015. It was taken by New Horizons' Ralph/Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera with a resolution of roughly 2,230 feet (680 meters) per pixel.

Mars Global Surveyor: A New Generation of Space Probes

Mars Global Surveyor was a new kind of spacecraft: built "faster, better, cheaper."

Credit: NASA

Mars Global Surveyor was a spacecraft that produced data about the Red Planet that will keep researchers busy for some time. Launched in 1996, the orbiter found intriguing hints of running water and confirmed that the famous "Face of Mars" was a trick of the light. Unfortunately, NASA lost contact with Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) in 2006. 

A pioneer

MGS was the first NASA spacecraft to reach Mars in almost 20 years, since the Viking missions arrived in 1976. Right from MGS's first moments at Mars, it was a pioneer: it was the first spacecraft at the Red Planet to use the technique of aerobraking to put itself into its final orbit. It was also part of a new concept for building spacecraft after a series of cost overruns and unsuccessful missions.

Soon after reaching orbit, MGS set about generating a great deal of science. It spotted gullies that could have had streams of water rushing through in the ancient past. It snapped pictures of a "Swiss-cheese-like" south pole, and it watched dust devils leaving tracks in the Martian surface. It spotted hematite – a mineral that forms in water. And it took detailed photographs of the infamous "Face on Mars."

When the Spirit and Opportunity rovers reached Mars in 2004, the spacecraft also served as a communications relay for the rovers to send data back to Earth until it fell silent in 2006.

Return to the Red Planet

MGS had been born out of the failure of a previous planned Mars mission. Mars Observer, launched in 1992, was just three days from its planned orbit insertion around the Red Planet when NASA lost contact with it on Aug. 21, 1993.

The failure stung, particularly because flight delays and other matters had nearly quadrupled the projected cost for Mars Observer.

"Originally budgeted at $212 million, Mars Observer wound up costing $813 million," NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory noted in a brief history about the mission. "By the time it was launched on Sept. 25, 1992, Mars Observer had come to symbolize out-of-control costs."

Under new administrator Daniel Goldin, NASA embarked on building a "faster, better, cheaper" (FBC) set of spacecraft. The concept was supposed to use small teams and less complicated components to build low-cost spacecraft. The program had a mix of successes and failures, but did birth the wildly popular Mars Pathfinder/Sojourner rover mission that landed in 1997.

NASA started building cheaper spacecraft under the Mars Surveyor program. MGS – at just $154 million (excluding launch costs) in 1996 dollars – was to be the first of a series of spacecraft launching every 26 months. The Mars Surveyor concept was altered after two Mars spacecraft failed in 1998.

Early days on Mars

MGS launched successfully on Nov. 7, 1996, on board a Delta II rocket. From its launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center, it bounded into orbit and then fired its engines again to accelerate towards Mars. Ten months later, on Sept. 12, 1997, MGS successfully made it into orbit at the Red Planet.

To save on the cost of hauling fuel to Mars, mission planners used a new technique – aerobraking – to finalize MGS in its orbit around the planet. MGS pushed against the atmosphere gradually in its first several months at Mars to put itself in the final orbit. This technique proved so successful that it was used again for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and Mars Odyssey missions.

One of MGS' first targets was the "Face on Mars," an infamous feature snapped by the orbiting Viking 1 spacecraft on July 25, 1976. The shadows appeared to be a human face gazing up at the sky, which sparked a generation of conspiracy theories on Earth.

MGS passed over the same location at the Cydonia region on April 5, 1998, to get a more detailed look. Although NASA already knew the "face" came from a trick of shadows, MGS' pictures were in higher-resolution and were used by the agency to debunk the theory. The European Space Agency confirmed the finding in pictures taken with Mars Express in 2001.

NASA carefully selected its first targets to include areas of public interest. Other spots that MGS imaged in the early days included the Viking landing sites and the Mars Pathfinder landing site.

A planet in flux

Mars, revealed by MGS, was a rapidly changing planet that probably had a different environment in the past. Pictures in February 1998 showed a possible ancient river channel. Other snapshots over the years showed slowpoke dunes, regolift drifts and sandsheets on the surface, suggesting that wind was a big factor in shaping Mars history.

As MGS skimmed the planet from pole to pole, it tracked changes in carbon dioxide ice deposits near the south pole of Mars. After three Martian summers of observations, data from MGS revealed that the deposits were shrinking – a possible indication of climate change.

The spacecraft mapped Martian terrain with a laser altimeter, detected traces of magnetic fields with its magnetometer, and mapped at least 20 new impact craters between the time it started operations and the time it fell silent.

When MGS spotted hematite – a mineral that forms in water – from orbit, the discovery spurred NASA to land the Opportunity rover in a hematite-rich area. Just weeks after landing, Opportunity found hematite "blueberries" just a short distance from where it touched down in Meridiani Planum.

End of the extended mission

MGS lasted four times longer than its design lifetime, but the end came rather unexpectedly. On Nov. 2, 2006, controllers ordered MGS to shift its solar panels – a routine adjustment. The spacecraft reported back several errors, but the transmission also indicated that things had stabilized. Then MGS fell silent.

"The spacecraft reoriented to an angle that exposed one of two batteries carried on the spacecraft to direct sunlight," read a NASA press release describing the most likely cause of the failure.

"This caused the battery to overheat and ultimately led to the depletion of both batteries. Incorrect antenna pointing prevented the orbiter from telling controllers its status, and its programmed safety response did not include making sure the spacecraft orientation was thermally safe."

NASA tried for weeks to get in touch with the dead spacecraft, with no success. An independent review board determined that the MGS team did follow the correct procedures to help the spacecraft, but added that the procedures themselves were not strong enough to "catch the errors that occurred".

The agency pledged it would overhaul its procedures to improve other Mars missions. Indeed, NASA has since had more success in resurrecting spacecraft that had software problems.

A notable example is the Mars Odyssey mission, which has entered safe mode several times but been successfully recovered. Odyssey, as a side note, is currently the longest-running Mars mission with more than a decade in service.

But it was MGS that got there first, and that paved the way for more Mars missions to follow. The spacecraft kickstarted a new age of Martian exploration, and provided the first detailed look at the Red Planet in a generation.

Still contributing

Although MGS' mission is long over, there still are occasional science results publicized in the media. For example, in March 2016 NASA released an improved gravity map of Mars that in part used data from MGS. The goal of the map is to better understand variations in the Red Planet's gravity to track the geological history of Mars, such as the differences between the northern lowlands and the southern highlands.

In 2013, researchers suggested that Eden Patera, previously believed to be a crater basin, may instead be remnants of an ancient supervolcano. Based on data in part from MGS, researchers noted a lack of ejecta debris in the region as well as features that usuallly point to volcanism, such as "bathtub rings" created when lava recedes from the area.

Engineering Particles on the Nanoscale to Redesign the Future of Medicine

By: David Russell Schilling

Image courtesy nanogloss.com

Super High Resolution Microscopes

Super high resolution microscopes are the most significant development in imaging since the invention of the microscope in the 16th century. Conventional microscopes resolve objects as small as 300 nanometers, also known as the “diffraction limit.” But with a new technology, researchers are able to see molecules such as proteins and lipids and synthetic nanostructures just a few nanometers in diameter.

Prof. Frank Caruso of the Nano Structured Interfaces and Materials Science Group at the University of Melbourne and his colleagues are redesigning and reengineering drugs and other materials on the nanoscale to increase their effectiveness and reduce side effects. With each new generation of drugs or nanoparticles, designers collect information about their effectiveness, using this information to improve the next cycle of development.

According to Caruso, it is important, but challenging, to track how nanoparticles are internalized and processed by cells in the body. Therapeutic agents encapsulated in nanoparticles are released at a specific rate to maximize their effectiveness. The biological machinery of cells can now be studied with these new imaging techniques.

Caruso says nearly every drug on the planet will be vastly improved by this new type of nano engineering that depends on recent breakthroughs in microscopy. The same can be said of materials used in engineering. The following video is an overview of the work being done by Caruso and his team:

The Snap Drone From Vantage Robotics Has Redefined the Flying Camera

By: Nidhi Goyal

Image courtesy Vantage Robotics

Drones have huge potential for growth, but there are serious concerns about safety as accidents like drones crashing into walls or harming people are very common. This is because landing is the hardest part of flying, as the drone has to reduce its speed while approaching the ground without crashing into it.

However the Snap, a drone by Vantage Robotics, offers a simple, alternative way to land. The main body of the drone is attached to the folding propeller assembly by magnets. This feature allows it to come off under impact without incurring any lasting damage.

Snap not only features magnetic break-apart components but also has a high-quality 4k camera. Here are some of the features of this amazing drone:

• Snap is thin and ultra-light. Unlike large and heavy drones, Snap weighs about 1.1-pounds. Moreover, its compact body makes it very easy to transport in a backpack.
• The Snap has a 4K camera with a Sony Exmor sensor. The 2-axis gimbal-stabilized camera shoots Ultra HD video at 30fps. Slow-motion options are available at 1080p and 720p resolutions.
• Snap comes with magnetic breakaway architecture.
• Snap can be easily controlled by a smartphone app.
• The system is designed to be modular, having waterproof tracking modules and bigger battery packs.
• It can cut through 20mph winds and on a full charge, it can last 20 minutes in the air.
• With Snap, you can take photos and record videos from near impossible angles, distances, and locations.

In short, Snap is a drone that packs high-quality recording equipment in a lightweight ultra-compact body.

World’s Brightest X-Ray Laser Upgrade Makes It 10,000 Times Brighter and 8,000 Times Faster

By: Marshall Smith

Stanford

The world’s brightest X-ray laser currently resides in SLAC’s National Accelerator Laboratory, as part of a $1 billion project.

Apparently laying claims to the world’s brightest X-ray laser just isn’t enough these days, however, because the laser is receiving an upgrade that will make it 10,000 times brighter and 8,000 times faster.

Eventually, the laser will be able to shell out a million pulses per second, enabling it to analyze things in excruciating detail such as the movement of electrical charges.

Laser pulses will be pushed through niobium metal cavities held at minus 456 degrees Fahrenheit.

SLAC says this process manifests “an almost continuous X-ray laser beam with pulses that are 10,000 times brighter, on average, than those of [the original laser] and arrive up to a million times per second.”

“[It]will take X-ray science to the next level, opening the door to a whole new range of studies of the ultrafast and ultrasmall,” noted SLAC’s Mike Dunne in a press release. “This will tremendously advance our ability to develop transformative technologies of the future, including novel electronics, life-saving drugs, and innovative energy solutions.”

US Navy Spies Learned of Nazi Alliance with Reptilian Extraterrestrials during WWII

Ruimtetelescoop Kepler weer actief na dagenlange storing - HLN.be

  Bron: De Volkskrant

De Kepler-ruimtetelescoop van NASA. © epa.

STERRENKUNDE De Amerikaanse ruimtetelescoop Kepler is weer stabiel, na een storing die een paar dagen heeft geduurd. De missie van de telescoop, het ontdekken van andere planeten, leek tijdelijk in gevaar te komen. Sinds gisteren is Kepler weer actief.

Op 7 april ontdekten vluchtleiders dat de ruimtetelescoop zichzelf in een veilige noodmodus had gezet, ongeveer veertien uur voordat Kepler op het centrum van het Melkwegstelsel gericht zou worden. 

De noodmodus is de laagste 'stand' waarin het apparaat functioneert. Deze modus wordt pas ingeschakeld als het ruimtevaartuig in serieuze problemen zit. De noodmodus is bedoeld om meer schade te voorkomen, maar verbruikt ook het meeste brandstof. NASA onderzoekt de mogelijke oorzaak van de storing.

• Ruimtetelescoop Kepler in de problemen

Missie

Kepler werd in 2009 op een missie gestuurd om planeten te ontdekken die rondom andere sterren dan de zon draaien. In de jaren die volgden ontdekte de ruimtetelescoop meer dan duizend van deze zogenoemde exoplaneten, waaronder twaalf leefbare planeten die erg op de aarde lijken. Dankzij Kepler heeft de studie naar exoplaneten een enorme stap gemaakt. 

Kepler kwam in 2013 ook al in de problemen, toen de gyroscopen uitvielen. Daardoor moest de eerste missie worden afgebroken. Het team slaagde er toen in het ruimtevaartuig op een tweede missie te sturen. Momenteel maakt Kepler - in een andere operationele modus - nog steeds jacht op planeten bij andere sterren, als onderdeel van de K2-missie. Kepler zat middenin die tweede missie toen hij in de noodmodus belandde.

Onderzoekers ontdekken 13 DNA-superhelden (maar weten niet wie ze zijn) - HLN.be

 Bron: BBC, Wired, Nature

WETENSCHAP Er bevinden zich onder ons genetische superhelden, die ondanks genetische defecten immuun zijn voor bepaalde ziektes. Dat blijkt volgens een internationaal team van onderzoekers, dat 13 mensen vond die op basis van hun DNA een ernstige ziekte hadden moeten ontwikkelen, maar dat niet deden.

Bepaalde ziektes kunnen veroorzaakt worden door fouten in ons DNA. Tal van studies werden al uitgevoerd om te doorgronden welke mutaties leiden tot bepaalde ziektes. Dat gebeurt telkens door patiënten te onderzoeken. 

Het zogenaamde Resilience Project ging omgekeerd te werk. De onderzoekers doorzochten DNA-databanken met informatie van bijna 600.000 mensen. Ze ontdekten 13 gezonde mensen die, op basis van hun DNA, een (ernstige) genetische ziekte zouden moeten hebben, zoals het syndroom van Smith Lemli Opitz, taaislijmziekte of het Pfeiffersyndroom.

Sommige mensen lijken echter geboren te zijn met het DNA van een superheld, besluiten de onderzoekers in hun studie, die verschenen is in het vakbladNature Biotechnology. Ze hopen nu te ontdekken wat deze mensen gezond houdt, en of dat mogelijk tot nieuwe therapieën kan leiden.

Maar voorlopig eindigt het veelbelovende verhaal hier. De onderzoekers konden de 13 geluksvogels niet opsporen omwille van de vertrouwensovereenkomst die ze tekenden toen ze hun DNA-staal lieten afnemen. Wát hen tegen ziektes beschermt, kan dus voorlopig niet achterhaald worden.

Net daarom reageren experten maar voorzichtig enthousiast op de studie. Ze bevat geen bewijs, omdat het team niet kan aantonen dat er geen fouten gebeurden bij het testen en dat er geen hiaten waren in de medische dossiers van de betrokken personen. Daarnaast kan niet vastgesteld worden of mosaïcisme, waarbij het genetische defect maar enkele cellen in het lichaam aantast, aan de basis ligt van hun bevindingen.

De onderzoekers geven toe dat hun onderzoek nog in zijn kinderschoenen staat, en plannen een nieuwe studie waarbij de proefpersonen geïdentificeerd kunnen worden. "Dit is een startpunt om op zoek te gaan naar andere verschillen, bijvoorbeeld in het genoom, die de sleutel kunnen bevatten voor nieuwe therapieën", zegt professor Stephen Friend van de Icahn School of Medicine van het Mount Sinai Hospital in New York.

"Miljoenen jaren van evolutie hebben veel meer beschermende mechanismen doen ontstaan dan we vandaag begrijpen", zegt dr. Eric Schadt van hetzelfde instituut. "We zien een enorme kans in het uitvissen wat mensen gezond houdt." De onderzoekers denken dat ook andere vormen van bescherming - bijvoorbeeld tegen infecties en dementie - mogelijk via deze benadering opgespoord kunnen worden.

UFO Over Sea Spotted In Turkey Has Returned Again After 9 Years, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: April 3, 2016
Location of sighting: Sea Antalya, Turkey
News source: MUFON #75759

This UFO was seen over Turkey last week and strangly enough, I have been looking in that area on Google Earth to see if I can find the underwater base near Turkey. Sadly Google blacks out 95% of the water so its an impossible task, however its there. I have reported UFOs for many years and an old 2007 Turkey sighting recorded on many nights for many hours by a security guard had the most amazing footage ever. I will place that video below to compare...it looks similar to this MUFON report. This UFO was brought to my attention by UFOvni2012 of Youtube.

Eyewitness states:
We were at the hotel in Kemer- ANTALYA. Sitting and talking with the family. Shiny object with strange move. We thought it was a helium filled metallic balloon. It moved North first and then came back and hovered above the sea. I suprised and then took 5 shot with my canon 450d with zoom lens. When you look at the pictures it was like a door opened at the end of the photos it becomes the known ufo shape and vanished. I said vanished because when I try to take 6th photo I could not find it anymore.

Huge UFO flying over the volcano Popocatepetl, Mexico April 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News

Date of sighting: April 2016
Location of sighting: Popocatepetl, Mexico

This UFO was caught on live cam as it shot past this volcano which is famous for its UFOs. This object almost seems to enter and then exit the volcano sides, but its more likely that its flying past on the other side of the volcano. Nice catch, and gives us something to think about. If this is a UFO, then it would be almost 600 meters across, the width of the mouth of the volcano.

Aliens Warn Drillers Of Oil Field That Below Ground Is ET Base, April 2016, UFO Sighting News.

Religious Buddha Symbol Meaning Pure Goodness. 

Date of discovery: April 10, 2016, but is at least 50 years old.
Location of discovery: Whites Sands, New Mexico, USA
Google coordinates: 33°12’22.6″N 103°35’05.3″W

Lets start off with this, because its most important. This is not a symbol of Hitlers Nazis, but is the ancient buddha symbol that means pure goodness...thats thousands of years old. You see, the Nazi cross turns the other way...and thats why Hitler took the buddha symbol and flipped it backwards, so it would mean pure evil, but here in the photo above is the pure goodnessbuddha symbol. I think I visit enough temples in Taiwan to be able to tell. 

Also the writing in the rectangle above is alien symbols. The symbols are very similar to those found at the Roswell UFO crash on small metal beams and parts. 


This formation is 600 meters by 491 meters across says Google ruler, if you don't count the circle thats all the way around it. This is far out there in an area called White Sands. This sign is 40 miles East of Roswell, NM the famous crash site of a UFO. There are alien words in the rectangle above. Words that declare ownership of the area. The same kind of writing found on fragments of the UFO that crashed at Roswell 40 miles away

. 

So, you ask, why are aliens writing here in the middle of New Mexico? Its easy. This is a waring. There are thousands of oil rigs set up in this location. The closest one is just 40 meters away. Drilling down, deep into the ground, right through the ceiling of the oil and even below cutting through the floors of the oil lakes, causing it to spill down into the underground base. Yes, this symbol is there as a warning to humans...not to damage their base underground. The symbol of pure good at its center means that they don't want to pose a threat to us, only to share the land...below the ground.

UFO Sighting Visualized Data On A World Map

A camouflaged UFO was recorded on video lurking behind the clouds. According to the narrator of YouTube channel SecureTeam10, the video shows a UFO in the sky above Frayser in North Memphis, Tennessee.

It may be hard to tell the location of the UFO in the original video, but the exposure-enhanced version of the footage shows a bizarre shadow behind the clouds.

The UFO enthusiast claimed the footage was taken on March 28, 2016, and a man named Mr Schneider sent it to him.

According to the video maker, he heard strange loud booming sounds days before the sighting. He observed the sky more often to identify the source of the noise and even searched over the internet for a possible explanation.

After several days, he seemed to lost hope in getting an account of the strange sounds. The man then reportedly experienced an odd feeling that there was something over him in the sky. He decided to get his camera and started recording the sky. All of a sudden, he saw a massive machine-like structure that appeared to be moving in the sky.

Mr Schneider claimed that the strange aerial thing broke through the clouds for a split second, but it was easier to see with the naked eye.

Russia “UFO’s are real and we know how to Summon them!”

Summoning the Aliens

The Russians have recently claimed that they can now predict when UFOs will appear in the skies above them and that they have now learnt how to willingly summon them! The Russians have also claimed that UFO activity is increased when large scale weapons testing is taking place, of which they have been measuring UFO activity by doing so!

According to Vasily Yeremenko, a Major General of FIB in reserve, academician of the Academy of Security, Defence and Law Enforcement:

“We can say that we learned to summon UFOs in Vladimirovka. To do this, we dramatically increased the number of military flights and movement of the equipment. If the intensity on our side increased, UFOs appeared with the probability of 100 percent.”Vasily Yeremenko

Are the Aliens watching our weapons capabilities!?

The Russians have now put together the below three main conclusions:

• Modern science is not yet able to identify such phenomena.
• The UFOs could be US or Japan surveillance drones.
• The UFOs could be extraterrestrial activity.

According to Svobodnaya Pressa, which is a major Russian news website, the Russian Navy have actually now declassified records of numerous encounters with unidentified objects that technologically surpass anything ever built by humanity….leading to the fact that these UFO’s MUST be of an Alien origin!

A special unique Navy group which is headed by Deputy Navy Commander Admiral Nikolay Smirnov collected information on reports of unidentified objects, delivered by submarines and military ships.

According to Vladimir Azhazha, a UFO researcher and former Military Navy officer:

“Fifty percent of UFO encounters are connected with oceans. Fifteen more – with lakes. So UFOs tend to stick to the water.”Vladimir Azhazha

UFO’s appear to like to stay close to the water!

According to one high level report, a Russian nuclear submarine which was on a combat mission at the time had detected six unknown objects pursuing them. After failing miserably to lose the objects following them, the captain then ordered the submarine to surface, of which the objects followed, departed from the water and flew away at extremely high speeds.

Back in 1982 a group of military divers training at Baikal witnessed a group of what appeared to be humanoid beings dressed in silver suits. Despite the divers trying to catch them, three of them died whilst the other four were injured in this bizarre incident.

According to Captain 1st rank Igor Barklayof Navy Intelligence:

“Ocean UFO’s often show up wherever our or NATO’s fleets concentrate. Near Bahamas, Bermudas, Puerto Rico. They are most often seen in the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean, in the southern part of the Bermuda Triangle, and also in the Caribbean Sea.”Captain 1st rank Igor Barklayof Navy Intelligence

Are they watching us and reviewing our ways and actions!?

U.I.P Summary

My what a year 2015 is becoming! We are getting piece of disclosure from every angle it feels like and perhaps it is now time to join all of the dots together!

When the Russians say that they can summon the UFO’s at a guess I think what they actually mean is that mankind’s actions can dictate when they appear. For quite some time now we have heard about UFO’s over looking military exercises and watching over Nuclear weapons storage facilities…..in fact some UFO’s have apparently even managed to turn nuclear weapons off!

Could it be that the Aliens are watching us so closely as they are concerned about what card we are going to play next.  As we at U.I.P have stated many times before, nobody should have the right to destroy this beautiful planet with weapons of mass destruction….And perhaps THIS is why ‘they’ are watching us so closely!!

When Alien Disclosure Arrives, Whose Explanation About The ET’s Will YOU Believe?

There can be NO denying the fact that the year is speeding along past us and with this the human race is inches closer to the very real realization that we are not alone in the universe, and never actually ever have been!  Most major organizations and governments throughout the world have started preparing how to break the news to the world to the masses here on earth – whether this is going to be some kind of microbial life or even some kind of advanced extra-terrestrial life, either way, the planning has begun.

Fist we have to accept the fact that the worlds leading space agency NASA very recently gathered top scientists, philosophers, and theologians from around the planet to discuss how this life changing announcement would be made to the masses – initial suggestions are that the announcement will be made in a way that reflects on the situation at the time.  What I mean by this is that IF the ET’s are working with certain key figures on Earth, and perhaps have some agreement in place, the Elite may just drip feed yet MORE information on life beyond planet and even present more evidence of microbial life, using yet more delaying tactics.  Or could it be that the ET’s have no more time to waste and they want to introduce themselves to the planet directly?

Multiple congressional hearings have already taken place around the world on this subject and many people who work in the industry are starting to voice their excitement. A gentleman called Mike Gold  is one of those who are filled with joy over this news, interestingly he is the Director of Operations for Bigelow Aerospace – even more interesting is the fact that Bigelow Aerospace have been supposedly PAYING MUFON for their sighting reports over the last few year, please more on this here:http://www.ufointernationalproject.com/latest-news/camera-shy-bigelow-and-his-obsession-with-ufos/

NASA can no longer hide the fact that the ET’s are watching us, when they sharing with the world clear evidence of ‘captures’ above earth from the International space station.  Please check out the link to see more on this:http://www.ufointernationalproject.com/ufo-photos-and-videos/iss-caught-zooming-in-on-large-orb-above-earth/

A perfect capture from the ISS

When you look at the stats of who believes in Aliens, at least half of all Americans say that we’re not alone in the universe. And over Fifty percent of Americans already believe that there is some form of life on other planets, while only seventeen percent think that there isn’t. A quarter of Americans believe that intelligent extra-terrestrial visitors have already come to Earth and have been doing so for a very long time.  And it is not just America that the number of believers is rising, it’s happening all over the world – it is almost like some kind of awakening is happening!?

Another clear area of a build up to disclosure is the fact that we now have many leading figures around the world who can testify that we are NOT alone.  Some of these people are hundreds of senior high ranking military and government personnel, academicians, and more testifying to the fact that we are not alone, and that governments have known for decades.  Obama can’t hold a serious conversation with a six year old child when it comes to the discussion about Aliens –http://www.ufointernationalproject.com/ufo-photos-and-videos/obamas-nervous-discussion-about-aliens-again/

No matter what the bottom line is well and truly out there.

Obama and 6 year old Macey Hensley on the Ellen DeGeneres Show

We also have all of the declassified information that over the last couple of years have been coincidentally released out into the public domain.  It almost feels like in one hand the world leaders want to tell us the truth about the extra-terrestrials, but in the hand they don’t!?

It is incredibly clear that when it comes to information and “news” our world has suffered from a severe lack of truth for way too long. Much of what the mainstream media push out to the world is far from truth, and we’ve all seen the level of control of information in North America and the United Kingdom (for example) consolidated by a handful of lying manipulative media corporations. MANY mainstream media publications have shared so many stories that are completely not true, and the majority of the time it’s responsible for shifting the perception of the masses regarding major global events, 911 is a great example of this.  It is rather obvious that the media are trying to brainwash the masses of planet earth – There is SO VERY much that is not presented on our mainstream news, so many incredible stories out there that are hidden by the Elite.

Check out another now famous video of Obama LYING through his teeth about the ET’s:

U.I.P SUMMARY –

Information in our world is EXTREMELY heavily controlled and it is also manipulated and again, used to sway the opinion of the masses. Although That being said, there is very little you can learn about our world by “watching the news” or from picking up a newspaper. More people are starting to realize this, and to quench their thirst for finding out what is really happening on our planet many are starting to gravitate towards non-corporate, alternative media, or a mix of the two.

So, when it comes to the extra-terrestrial phenomenon, when the truth is “officially disclosed,” who are YOU going to believe? Will you sit in front of your television for a detailed explanation or will you actually purchase some books to learn more about it? Will you read more articles on websites like Collective-Evolution?

This is a CRITICALLY important topic that opens up Pandora’s box, and brings questions into play that range from science, to engineering and philosophy, anthropology, ancient history and much more. Who are these ET Beings visiting us pretty much daily and where do they come from, what they actually want and what is going on will not come from your television screen.

In today’s world, the only useful way to gain any sort of knowledge or know what is happening on our planet is to do your own research!

Interesting times lie ahead – It is important to keep a very OPEN  mind.

Experts Now Believe That Humans Come From Another Place In The Universe

There are many people from around the world who believe that they do not belong from this planet and feel as though they come from somewhere else – Leading researchers now believe that this could actually be true and that the origins of mankind come from another place in the Universe!

Perhaps the idea that humanity once evolved from somewhere else in the universe and migrated to Planet Earth and perhaps even different corners of the galaxy in advanced spaceships may be a far truer story than what we had first thought. Perhaps we are the aliens on this planet? And if this is the case then where do we originally come from??

A leading ecologist and environmentalist who goes by the name of DR Ellis Silver, has recently put together some important evidence which points towards the hypothesis of humans originating from another place in the universe! In Silvers intriguing book called “Humans are not from Earth: a scientific evaluation of the evidence,” he describes seventeen interesting ideas as to WHY human beings do not originate from planet earth.  The book also goes into detail about where we possibly originated from and an alternative timeline for the human race.

Perhaps our REAL home is somewhere out there?

DR Ellis Silver has highlighted some key areas that could confirm that we are elsewhere in the Universe! For instance our unique psychology of human beings could be down to the fact that we do not originate from Earth/this area of ‘space’ – potentially from a planet with low gravity.

Dr. Ellis Silver told Yahoo news:

“Mankind is supposedly the most highly developed species on the planet, yet is surprisingly unsuited and ill-equipped for Earth’s environment: harmed by sunlight, a strong dislike for naturally occurring foods, ridiculously high rates of chronic disease, and more, “

“The Earth approximately meets our needs as a species, but perhaps not as strongly as whoever brought us here initially thought. Lizards can sunbathe for as long as they like – and many of them do.”

One of the newspapers asked the question ‘Do we really come from another star system or planet?’ of which the reply back from the Doctor made a lot of sense:

”We are dazzled by the sun, which is also odd, most animals are not.“ Confirmed DR Ellis Silver.

This is very true, in fact Vitamin D which naturally comes from the Suns rays have actually been proven to help humans health conditions.  But on the flip side of this our skin burns easily in the Sun too, which could be another indication that we do not originate from this planet.

Sun Worshipping Humans?

Other areas from the book also highlight how a lot of us Humans suffer from bad backs, which is another potential key factor to suggest that we may in fact come from another part of the Cosmos.  The leading doctor also considers the fact that humans have an extra 223 genes, according to a study published by Dr. Francis Crick.

According to a paper from bibliotecapleyades:

“Collaborative research from a gathering of exo-scientists postulate that there are genes from over 20 extraterrestrial civilizations in human DNA. These exo-scientists have continued the work of Nobel Prize winner Dr. Frances Crick, and other scholars in this area. Current findings are consistent with reports of Professor Sam Chang, who discreetly released information on his own apparent findings, in association with the Human Genome Project.”

Another interesting area that DR Ellis Silver pointed out, is the fact that us humans can never seem to find the right suitable location/climate to be healthy in – It’s an odd trait which suggests that this planets conditions may be affecting our body’s in a negative manner.  The Doctor went on to say:

 “We are all chronically ill,” says Dr. Silver. “Indeed, if you can find a single person who is 100% fit and healthy and not suffering from some (perhaps hidden or unstated) condition or disorder (there’s an extensive list in the book) I would be extremely surprised – I have not been able to find anyone.”

“I believe that many of our problems stem from the simple fact that our internal body clocks have evolved to expect a 25 hour day (this has been proven by sleep researchers), but the Earth’s day is only 24 hours. This is not a modern condition – the same factors can be traced all the way back through mankind’s history on Earth.”

The Blockbuster Film Prometheus – which suggests that Humans were placed here on Earth by Alien Beings.

Dr Silver has also suggested that if we didn’t get to Earth by spaceships of an ET origin then perhaps early humans could have been crossbred with another species creating modern humans!?

It has also been suggested that the most probable star system that we came from would probably have been the Alpha Centauri, which is actually the closest system to our own.

“Mankind is supposedly the most highly developed species on the planet, yet is surprisingly unsuited and ill-equipped for Earth’s environment: harmed by sunlight, a strong dislike for naturally occurring (raw) foods, ridiculously high rates of chronic disease, and more. Plus there’s a prevailing feeling among many people that they don’t belong here or that something “just isn’t right.”

“This suggests (to me at least) that mankind may have evolved on a different planet, and we may have been brought here as a highly developed species.” DR Ellis Silver said.

Dr Silver has also come up with another very thought proving clever thought and has even suggested that perhaps Earth is some kind of a Prison Planet, a place where a violent species (such as ourselves) have been placed, out of harms way from perhaps more ‘busier’ parts of the Cosmos! Perhaps we are to stay here until we learn the errors or our ways.  Who knows, maybe the UFO’s in the skies above us are the ET’s who sent us here, watching and reviewing our actions?

Dr Ellis Silver has given many interesting and thought – provoking ideas in his book, which are all very relevant to the conditions of not only this planet that we live on, but also the conditions of our body and how this world affects the majority of us!!

(click on image below to see more details on this book).

U.I.P SUMMARY

I have read this book myself and it is not only incredibly thought provoking, it also makes an awful lot of sense! Us humans always appear to have ‘issues’ with our health, or issues with other people or countries.  If we are not having conflicts with somebody else, we then create our own conflicts within ourselves – perhaps Earth is a prison planet for us to learn how not to hate and to get on with one another!?

We are reading more and more nowadays about leading Scientists and experts suggesting that we are not from Planet Earth originally, this is something that 20 or 30 years ago would have been mocked and not taken seriously! But times are changing and our minds are opening – on top of all this the Elite are trying to slowly but surely educate the masses that we are very much NOT alone in the Universe!

Interesting times lie ahead for the Human Race.

The TRUTH is just around the corner.

Ruimtetelescoop Kepler in de problemen - HLN.be

 Bron: (VK)

RUIMTEVAART NASA's ruimtetelescoop Kepler, die al jaren succesvol de ruimte afspeurt naar planeten die veel op de aarde lijken, is in nood. Daardoor dreigt de ruimtemissie gevaar te lopen.

Tijdens een routinecontrole werd donderdag duidelijk dat de ruimtetelescoop in de noodmodus is gegaan. Dat is de laagste 'stand' waarin het apparaat functioneert. De modus wordt pas ingeschakeld als het ruimtevaartuig in serieuze problemen zit. De noodmodus is bedoeld om meer schade te voorkomen, maar is ook het meest brandstofverbruikend.  

Volgens NASA was Kepler enkele dagen eerder nog volledig operationeel. Het is onduidelijk waardoor de problemen worden veroorzaakt en of NASA erin zal slagen de satelliet weer tot leven te wekken. Het opsporen en oplossen van het probleem kan veel tijd kosten, omdat de planeet 121 miljoen kilometer is verwijderd van het missiecontrolecentrum. Het kost ieder signaal dertien minuten om die afstand te overbruggen.

Aardse planeten

Kepler werd in 2009 op een missie gestuurd om planeten te ontdekken die rondom andere sterren dan de zon draaien. In de jaren die volgden ontdekte de ruimtetelescoop meer dan duizend van deze zogenoemde exoplaneten, waaronder twaalf leefbare aardse planeten die erg op de aarde lijken. Dankzij Kepler heeft de studie naar exoplaneten een enorme stap gemaakt. 

Kepler kwam in 2013 ook al in de problemen, waardoor de eerste missie moest worden afgebroken. Het team slaagde er toen in het ruimtevaartuig op een tweede missie te sturen. Kepler zat middenin de tweede missie toen hij in de noodmodus belandde.

CONFIRMED! NASA Did Drop The Nuke In Oct 2009 On An Alien Base. April 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Up till now, NASA dropping the nuke on a moon base to destroy the alien base found was always theory. Today I have proved that its 100% fact. I'm not sure why I didn't see it before. I mean, I watched the moon bombing on live Internet NASA cam with my junior high students live about 7-9pm Taiwan time...that would be about 3-5am in California time, but at the time I missed it.

I matched the two faces from the live video footage at AMES with those of the two AMES employees in the moon base photo. Anthony Colaprete (Click for his bio) and Karen Gundy-Burlet are the ones in the HD photo with the moon base and in the live nuking of the moon video. 

At 3:59 until 4:04 into the video we see the two of them rubbing their heads, as if wondering WTF just happened, since the explosion didn't destroy the building at all nor did it create a upraised cloud of dust. As if the base had a shield around it stoping the blast from harming it. 

The base...and I'm saying this for every country in the world to know that they may be able to claim it...is in the crater Cabius. America gave the order to destroy it because it was seen by Chinese and Russian satellites. Apparently its still there and DGAF what nukes America throws at it. Thats...what alien technology can do. I'm going to tweet this to @SecGen of the UN a dozen times...even if he doesn't see it, one of the generals of the UN does follow me and has tweeted to me once, so he will at least see it. 

This base is occupied...not abandoned. It protected itself from the nuke and the world needs to know that America would rather destroy it, than let it fall into the hands of Russia or China.

Cigar UFO Over Denver, Colorado On April 6, 2016, Photos, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: April 6, 2016

This is a great example of a cigar UFO. The Rocky Mountains are home to a few underground bases in Colorado, and its been reported that police there have recorded glowing orbs moving over the mountains. Makes me wonder...who was here first, us or them? And if they were born on...or in our planet, then what should we call them?

Eyewitness states:
   Left my home travelling north and got stopped at a traffic light. Then I saw this object through my windshield. I live halfway between the Denver airport and the downtown area, and regularly see planes at lower elevations as they get near/leave the airport. I saw the object, which was flying at a standard height for a plane leaving the airport. I was close enough to make out the detail of it. It looked like a large white cargo plane, but with no wings, tail, and had a round front. By the time I grabbed my phone to take a photo the view of object was now out the drivers side window to the south west. I was able to get one photo then the light turned green and I had to drive on. The object was closer when I first saw it, but flow off pretty fast in a straight line to the south west.

This day in UFO history: The Uncovered Mystery of a Man Shoots A UFO

While some people acknowledge the presence of extraterrestrial beings, they are at a complete loss to explain as to why they are visiting the earth. As with important things in life, explanations should be relatively straightforward and not difficult to comprehend. Understanding the primary motive and intent for extraterrestrial visits will explain the UFO Phenomena.

Oscar Santa Maria Huerta, a fighter pilot, had a strange experience when he tried to shoot down an odd light-bulb vessel. Up to date, the encounter is the sole documented case among the military plane shooting an unidentified flying object. On April 11, 1980, the 23-year-old Lieutenant of the Peruvian Air Force joined the 1,800 military and civilian personnel for daily exercises. LT Huerta received an order to intercept the unknown silver-colored object that had been hovering near the runway. The alleged object was 5 km away, soaring around 600 meters, and was not responsive to communications. The authorities are authorized because hovering inside might be a threat to national sovereignty. Colonel Huerta flew and shot 64 30mm shells when upon reaching the right distance. When one of the shells wiped out a car, all had no effect on the object. Afterward, it shot rapidly away from the base; then Colonel Huerta activated the afterburner of the aircraft to chase it. When they reached 84 km from the base, the object suddenly stops. Huerta position himself for another shot after turning up and to the right, but the object shoot upwards seconds before he could shoot.

He realized that he was running low, losing his capacity to attack. In this way, he decided to fly near the object to achieve a better look. Upon reaching 100 meters away, he started to see an object measuring around 10 meters in diameter with a cream-colored dome beneath. Underneath was a wide circular silver base that bears a resemblance to metal. It had no windows, antennae, exhausts, wings, propulsion jets, and other parts of a typical aircraft. Since he had no fuel, he could not attack.

Underwater UFOs and Undersea USO Bases

After publishing and article in Fate Magazine and a LIVE appearance on a History Channel Special, both with a focus on Unidentified Submerged Objects (USOs), Author and UFO Researcher Preston Dennett received a flood of emails and letters from new witnesses detailing many dramatic USO cases that had never been revealed before. Along the way, he discovered that the Southern California Coast is one of the worlds most active areas for Undersea USO reports. Reports that date back to the late 1940s, and continue to this day. After years of research, Preston Dennett has come to the startling conclusion that there is an Undersea UFO Base in the Santa Catalina Channel, located along the U.S. Pacific Coast. In this presentation he will present the results of his investigations into the USO situation around the world. Includes evidence of Government surveillance of USOs and ensuing coverup, photographs of UFOs and USOs, and a visual presentation of eyewitness accounts. Preston Dennett is a MUFON Certified UFO Field Investigator and the Author of over 16 books and 100 published essays on UFOs, USOs, and Alien Encounters.

20 famous UFO sightings

On the 30th anniversary of ET, Stylist looks for answers to the question - is there anybody out there? From alien abductions to lights in the sky and mysterious flying objects, here are 20 of the world's most talked-about UFO sightings...

Roswell, 1947

Ranking as one of the most famous UFO incidents in history - and now a pop culture phenomenon - the Roswell incident saw UFO hunters claim that the US military had captured an alien aircraft. While the military maintain that the 'flying saucer' was actually a surveillance device from a classified operation, non-believers still cite extra-terrestrial activity to this day.

Kenneth Arnold case, 1947

Newspapers had a field day with Kenneth Arnold's story, even coining the term 'flying saucer', after the American businessman and pilot claimed he'd seen nine saucer-like objects flying in a chain near Mount Rainier in Washington.

Washington, D.C. sighting, 1952

The CIA Robertson Panel was formed after reports of UFOs appearing in the skies above Washington were convincingly backed up by mysterious radar contacts at three separate airports. However, the US Air Force allayed fears of an alien invasion, suggesting that changes in the temperature had caused radar signals to bend and give false returns.

The Hill Abduction, 1961

In 1961, Barney and Betty Hill from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, reported that they had been kidnapped by aliens. According to the couple, they had been followed by a flying saucer while driving in their car, abducted and then subjected to an intimate physical examination. They also recall observing a 3D 'star map' inside the ship. Even under hypnosis, the Hill's maintained their story and aroused massive interest and publicity.

Rendlesham Forest Lights, 1980

One of the UK's most famous UFO events involved the sighting of several unexplained lights near RAF bases at Rendlesham Forest, inland of the Suffolk coast. The authorities insist there was nothing mysterious going on and no risk to national security, however, as the witnesses were on-duty servicemen, the reports were given a measure of credibility, and a belief persists that the lights were from an alien spacecraft. Even now, requests for more details are still being made under the Freedom of Information Act.

Clyde W Tombaugh sighting, 1949

Respected American astronomer Clyde W Tombaugh poured cold water on the consensus that most UFO sightings were recorded by publicity-seekers, when, two years after Roswell, Tombaugh recorded seeing up to eight rectangular lights in the sky above Las Cruces in New Mexico, and on another occasion several green fireballs. As a serious-minded astronomer used to studying the skies (one of his greatest achievements was the discovery of the dwarf planet Pluto in 1930), his inability to explain the lights made his claims particularly hard to dismiss.

Levelland case, 1957

Drivers in Levelland, Texas reported that their car engines stalled when encountering a glowing, egg-shaped object, and then mysteriously restarted again after the object had left. A police investigation followed and it was concluded that an electrical storm had caused the sightings and vehicle failures.

Shag Harbour, 1967

The navy was drafted in after a large, unidentified object crashed into Shag Harbour in Nova Scotia. A search and investigation was conducted, but later classified as unsolved by the Canadian Department of National Defence when a clear conclusion could not be reached.

Maury Island incident, 1947

Sailor Harold Dahl experienced a run-in with the real 'men in black', after claiming to have seen six UFOs while scavenging for driftwood in Washington's Puget Sound. The next day he was approached by an unknown, black-suited individual who warned him off repeating his story with threats against his family. However, it's unclear whether the UFO incident was actually real or a secret military exercise which had gone wrong.

Westall encounter, 1966

A UFO was allegedly witnessed by more than 200 students and teachers at two schools in Westall, Melbourne. The object was spotted first descending into a grassy field before taking off over houses in a local suburb. While Australian Skeptics, a non-profit organisation which investigates paranormal and pseudo-scientific claims by using scientific methodologies, put the UFO down to being an experimental military aircraft, witnesses contunue to gather to relive the extraordinary event.

Lonnie Zamora UFO sighting, 1964

When New Mexico traffic policeman Lonnie Zamora saw a huge, bluish-orange flame in the sky south of Socorro, he went to investigate. The flame was accompanied by a deafening roaring sound, and as Zamora drew nearer he saw a weird, doughnut-shaped silver machine and two white-clad individuals. Although the pair quickly flew off, Zamora's detailed testimony has provided one of the most comprehensive accounts of an alien encounter, and is often cited as a significant spur in persuading the US Air Force to take the growing numbers of UFO sightings more seriously.

Carson Sink incident, 1952

Two senior military pilots claimed to have spotted three aircraft of a type unknown to them while flying in a North American B-25 Mitchell bomber over the Carson Desert. They said the three unidentified objects were moving about three times faster than their B-25. While the B-25 wasn't known to be a particularly fast machine, both men insisted that the three crafts were not a new type of super-fast jet. 60 years later the sighting is still officially classified as unexplained.

São Paulo sighting, 1986

Military aircraft were sent to intercept around 20 UFOs detected by radar in various parts of São Paulo, Brazil. However, once the military began to give chase, the mysterious objects reportedly disappeared. Providing one solution to the incident is Geoffrey Perry, a British space researcher. He put the sighting down to debris that were ejected by Soviet space station Salyut-7 re-entering the Earth’s atmosphere around central-western Brazil.

Jimmy Carter sighting, 1969

Before becoming president of the USA, Jimmy Carter filed an official report in 1973 to say that four years earlier he had seen a strange white light in the evening sky. He claimed he watched it change from white to blue, and then to red, before changing back to white and appearing to gradually fade off into the distance. Although he believed it was a UFO he saw in 1969, by the time he became president he put the incident down to military, rather than extra-terrestrial, activity.

Tehran UFO incident, 1976

A UFO was believed to have disabled the electronic equipment of two F-4 interceptor jets as well as ground control equipment in Tehran. Public records state that the Iranian generals involved said that they had thought the object was an extra-terrestrial, although sceptics have put the encounter down to equipment malfunction.

Lubbock Lights, 1951

Three professors from Texas Technical College spotted an unusual light formation flying over Lubbock, Texas in 1951. The 20 to 30 lights flew in a 'V' shape over the town, and the occurance was eventually photographed by a student from the college with the photographs later appearing in Life Magazine, although an explanation of the sightings is yet to be found.

Belguim Wave, 1989 - 1990

Between 1989 and 1990, around 13,500 people claim to have observed large, silent, low-flying black triangles in the skies above Belgium, with 2,600 written statements on file about what they had seen. The frequently-photographed wave was also tracked by NATO radar and jet interceptors and investigated by Belgium’s military, although some put the sightings down to ordinary helicopters.

Yeni Kent Compound, 2008

One plucky night guard at the Yeni Kent Compound in Turkey claimed to have videotaped a number of UFO sightings witnessed over a period of four months. His allegations were also backed up by other witnesses, spurring the Sirius UFO Space Science Research Center to say that the videos were the “most important images of a UFO ever filmed”.

Berwyn Mountains, 1974

Like the Roswell incident 27 years earlier, rumours of a UFO crash in the Berwyn mountains followed after reports of shaking ground and strange lights in the sky. Investigations began and Gwynedd police recorded a statement from a witness who claimed to have seen a "bright red light, like coal fire red. Large perfect circle. Like a big bonfire. Could see lights above and to the right and white lights moving to bottom. Light changed colour to yellowish white and back again." No remains were found and the unsteady ground was likely to have been caused by the Bala Earthquake which hit the area that night, but several locals still insist they saw a glowing, egg-shaped craft.

Captain William Schaffner incident, 1970

When radar picked up an unidentified flying object over the North Sea, pilots quickly attempted to make contact. Captain William Schaffner intercepted a 'conical object' then all contact with him was lost. Three months later his plane was discovered undamaged on the seabed, but his body was never recovered. However, official reports eschewed the idea of an extra-terrestrial mystery, deeming the pilot's likely death being caused by flying too low over the sea.

Idaho witness sketches details from low hovering UFO

An Idaho witness at Meridian recalled a UFO event from 1977 when a disc-shaped craft hovered over a nearby home and moved towards him, according to testimony in Case 75381 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was driving home in his truck late at night on May 5, 1977, and noticed the UFO hovering just above a neighbor’s roof as he pulled into his driveway. The case was reported to MUFON on March 23, 2016, and is under investigation by Idaho STAR Team Investigator Charles Stansburge who provides the account details.

“As he looked up from the road ahead to view it he seemed to ‘hear in his mind’ an authoritative male voice saying, ‘This is not of this world,’” Stansburge reported.“He stopped the truck, got out and watched for 20 to 30 minutes. His passenger did not stay outside with him. She went immediately into their home, as she was concerned for the safety of the children there.”

Witness illustration. (Credit: MUFON)

The witness continued to watch the craft as it noiselessly and slowly approached where he was standing.

“Drawings are attached showing the shape of the craft from the side. It had a ‘nipple’-shaped dome on top which was shrouded in a swirling vaporous cloud which changed colors. A sparkly zone shown ‘like diamonds’ around the perimeter of the disc.”

At first the witness did not see any detail under the craft, but when it passed nearer to him he saw pulsating, colored lights in rectangular panels on the underside of the craft.

“There was no noise, emission of any kind from the craft and the lights from it were very bright, but did not seem to illuminate the ground or adjacent buildings. The disc was still in the sky over the homes when the witness eventually tired and went inside.”

The witness provided three illustrations with the report.

The witness was able to watch the object for nearly 30 minutes. Pictured: Meridian, ID. (Credit: Wikimedia Commons)

Cleveland witness reports close encounter with triangle UFO

An Ohio witness at Cleveland reported a close encounter with a triangle-shaped UFO, according to testimony in Case 75119 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The event occurred beginning about 10:21 p.m. on March 8, 2016, with the object heading south, and the witness soon dictated details into a telephone as he is a lifelong visual artist.

“At first I saw it coming,” the witness stated.“It was traveling slowly. It was not that high up in the air and it was an unusual constellation of lights so a grab my iPhone and I thought I should take a picture of whatever it is. And then it got closer and I got closer. We were converging right over Interstate 90.”

Witness illustration of the object. (Credit: MUFON)

The witness first thought the object was something that could be identified.

“As it got closer and closer I thought it might be a group of helicopters. But they were in too tight of a cluster. I saw a constellation of lights that were in an abstract sort of triangular form. As the craft got closer, I kept looking up and I saw that there was a slightly lighter color to the body than the dark sky.”

The witness described the lighting on the objects.

“There were lights on all three corners and in between the corners with a dazzling white very, very white, bright, bright light. On the bottom there was a flashing red light. At least one. Maybe they were alternating from different positions on the bottom.”

Cropped and enlarged version of the witness illustration. (Credit: MUFON)

The craft was traveling very slow and low to the ground.

“The craft was traveling very slowly. It was probably four to six telephone poles off of the ground. Not regular telephone poles, but the kind of tall ones that are along the interstate. If this craft was indeed triangular, it appeared to be traveling backwards away from the point.”

There was an aspect of this triangular pattern that was hard for the witness to comprehend.

“The lights seemed to be pointing toward me, not so much at me, but so bright that it looked like they were pointed at me, although it was not pointed at me at all. That’s how dazzling the lights were.”

As the object moved overhead, the witness thought there was structure to the object.

“As the craft approached the highway before it crossed over me, I thought it could be a structure, a linear structure like I-beams or something that have lights along it and it was not a flat triangle. It appeared to have a flat aspect, but the front seemed to be folded a little making it like two long, skinny triangles, but only in the front.”

Cropped and enlarged version of the witness illustration. (Credit: MUFON)

The witness was not afraid.

“I did not feel any unusual feelings outside of disbelief. I racked my mind trying to figure out what it could be other than a craft. It was not that high off the ground. As an artist my life profession is about looking and seeing. I’m very articulate and I’m able to describe things well. I worked as a carpenter for 30 years and I have a pretty good sense of dimension. I would guess this craft was between 40 and 60 feet long. Of course perspective could have thrown all of this off. Of course everything about this could be incorrect. But if it was what it appeared to be, I saw something quite remarkable and would like to know if anybody else sa  w the same damn thing.”

The witness provided an exact location for the sighting.

“It was west of exit 169 on Interstate 90 – that was what I dictated (with only punctuation changes). I am most curious if there were other reports of this thing. It had to have been seen by many others because it was so low and moved so slowly and was over a very, very populated area – along the edge of Cleveland. And lastly, and strangely enough, I have been struggling to photograph my drawings and for some reason they will not photograph. I have never had a problem with taking photos on my phone. Very strange. And I am not even suggesting that they are related at all.

Ohio MUFON Field Investigator Joseph Pavlansky closed this case as an Unknown. Please remember that most UFO sightings can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

UFO PENDELDIENST TUSSEN POPOCATEKPETL VULKAAN EN ISS - RUIMTESTATION  ( VIDEO )

Het ISS ruimtestation dat boven onze hoofden rondjes draait rond de aarde speelt een hele andere rol dan het grote publiek denkt. 

Met steeds meer mensen die van alles volgen via webcams en andere camera’s wordt het steeds moeilijker om UFO’s verborgen te houden. 

Er moet toch een keer een moment komen dat ook de gevestigde mainstream niet meer om een aantal simpele feiten heen kan. 

Die zijn onder andere dat er op talloze foto’s en video’s intussen is vastgelegd dat er zich zo langzamerhand ontelbare UFO’s bevinden bij de Mexicaanse vulkaan Popocatépetl en het ISS ruimtestation. 

Naast die feiten begint het ook steeds duidelijker te worden dat het in een aantal gevallen waarschijnlijk dezelfde ruimteschepen gaat. 

Zowel over de UFO’s bij het ISS en die bij de Popocatépetl is op deze website uitgebreide documentatie vinden. 

Enkele weken geleden, op 25 maart 2016, werd boven de Popocatépetl vulkaan de volgende prachtige UFO vastgelegd.

Enige tijd later op 5 april 2016 wordt bij het ISS voor de zoveelste keer een ruimteschip waargenomen. 

Dit object lijkt verdacht veel op die die kort daarvoor boven de Popocatépetl was vastgelegd.

Dat er een verband bestaat tussen de basis van Popocatépetl en ISS, is overduidelijk. Dat er diverse soorten ruimteschepen op een neer pendelen tussen de twee, ook. 

De achtergronden ervan zijn echter nog steeds een stuk onduidelijker. 

Want naast beide bovengenoemde locaties is er ook nog de planeet Mars. In het voorbeeld hierboven is sprake van wat wij een retro UFO noemen, het klassieke “schotel” model, maar op alledrie de locaties worden ook regelmatig grote cilinder- of sigaarvormige ruimteschepen waargenomen zoals door ons meermalen beschreven.

Onduidelijk blijft of het hier buitenaardsen betreft of ruimteschepen die van aardse makelij zijn en toebehoren aan de zogenaamde geheime ruimtevloot.

Kepler's New Mission: To Hunt Strange Orphan Worlds

This is an artist's impression of an orphaned or "rogue" planet — a world that has become excited from its parent star and is drifting through interstellar space.

Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

After an unprecedented survey to look for Earth-like planets beyond the solar system, NASA's Kepler space telescope this week begins a search for free-flying planets to learn just how common orphan worlds may be.

Planets without host stars are difficult to find, but they do exist. Scientists believe these bodies were ejected from their solar system families due to gravitational dynamics, lured away by tidal forces from interloping passersby, or perhaps even formed without the benefit of a parent star. What they don't know is if orphan planets are common or not.

GALLERY: The Most Horrific Alien Planets In Our Galaxy

To find the free-flying worlds, astronomers are turning to a technique known as microlensing, which occurs when the background light of a star is distorted due to the gravitational effects of another, unseen body located between the star and the observing telescope.

"For a lensing event that's due to a just a single object, the most salient feature of the light curve is the time scale. In general, a shorter time scale is potentially indicative of a lower-mass lensing object," said astronomer Calen Henderson, with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

Hot Jupiters

Some exoplanets orbit close to their parent stars. Due to their close proximity and generally large size, worlds known as "hot Jupiters" are easier to spot than their smaller, more distant-orbiting cousins.

Habitable Worlds

The primary thrust of exoplanet hunting is to find small, rocky worlds that orbit within their stars' "habitable zones." The habitable zone, also known as the "Goldilocks zone," is the region surrounding a star that is neither too hot nor too cold. At this sweet spot, liquid water may exist on the exoplanet's surface. Where there's water, there's the potential for life.

A Phantom

Usually, exoplanet hunters look for the slight dimming of a star or a star's "wobble" to detect the presence of an exoplanet. However, in the case of Kepler-19c, its presence has been detected by analyzing its gravitational pull on another exoplanet, Kepler-19b.

Kepler-19c is therefore the Phantom Menace of the exoplanet world.

Crazy Aurorae

Planets with a global magnetic field, like Earth, have some dazzling interactions with the winds emanating from their stars. The high-energy particles bombard the planet's atmosphere after being channeled by the magnetism. A wonderful auroral lightshow ensues.

But say if there's an exoplanet, with a magnetosphere, orbiting really close to its star? Well, stand back! The entire world would become engulfed in a dancing show, 100-1000 times brighter than anything we see on Earth.

IMAGE: A "HOT JUPITER" AND ITS TWO HYPOTHETIC

The "Candidates"

"Candidate" exoplanets are often mentioned, especially when talking about detections by the Kepler space telescope. But what does this mean?

As a world passes in front of its star, slightly dimming the starlight, this isn't considered a "confirmed" exoplanet detection. To make sure that signal is real, more orbital passes of the exoplanet need to be logged before a bona fide discovery can be announced. Until then, these preliminary detections are called exoplanet candidates.

Angry Suns, Naked Planets

Exoplanets come in all sizes and all states of chaos. Some might have wonky orbits, others might be getting naked. Other times, they're simply being ripped apart by X-rays blasted from their parent star. Bummer.

IMAGE: AN EXOPLANET BEING DESTROYED BY X-RAYS

Super-Earths

Super-Earths get a lot of press. Mainly because "Earth" is mentioned. Sadly, most of these worlds are likely completely different to anything we'd call "Earth." And you can forget calling the vast majority of them "Earth-like." It's simply a size thing -- they're bigger than Earth, yet a lot smaller than Jupiter, hence their name, "super-Earth." Easy.

IMAGE: ARTIST'S IMPRESSION SHOWS HD 85512B, A

The time scale for a lensing event caused by a free-floating planet may last just days or even hours, he added.

"If you're just monitoring one star, it's very, very rare to capture a microlensing event. That would only happen once per individual star every maybe 300,000 years," Henderson told Discovery News.

NEWS: Orphan Planet May Have Estranged Parent Star

"It's a fishing expedition. Microlensing events are rare. They're unpredictable and so what microlensing surveys have done for decades is just try to play the numbers game," he said.

Ongoing ground-based surveys boost the odds of capturing a microlensing event by focusing on tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of stars, looking for targets that brighten within short time periods.

While some variations in a star's brightness are due to stellar flares or because the star is what is known as a cataclysmic variable and periodically erupts, other changes are caused by unseen bodies in the foreground warping the light of the background star.

"What we're going to try to do with K2 is look for those events that are due to a lensing system that is just a free-floating planet," Henderson said.

To accomplish that, the K2 team will work in conjunction with ground-based surveys to try to get two perspectives of a lensing event, which will allow astronomers to calculate the mass what is causing the lensing.

ANALYSIS: Thieving Stars Snatch Orphan Planets

"It's the first chance that we will have to actually measure the masses of these objects and the first chance to find out if the ones we find that are low-mass are (gravitationally) bound to a host star or not," Henderson said.

Scientists believe that they will be able to detect free-floating planets about the size of Saturn or larger with the technique.

K2's hunt for orphan worlds began on Thursday and is scheduled to last until July 1.

A white paper on the project was released at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Orlando in January.

What Might the Putative 'Planet Nine' Look Like?

The possible internal structure of Planet Nine, a large world hypothesized to exist far beyond the orbit of Pluto.

Astronomers are trying to take the measure of Planet Nine before the hypothesized world has even been discovered.

Earlier this year, astronomers Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown, both of whom are based at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, proposed that a large planet lurks undetected in the outer solar system, far beyond Pluto's orbit.

Batygin and Brown didn't spot this prospective Planet Nine; rather, they inferred its existence based on the orbits of a half-dozen objects in the Kuiper Belt, the ring of icy bodies beyond Neptune. [Planet Nine: The Evidence for a New Giant Planet in Pictures]

These objects' orbits suggest that Planet Nine may be about 10 times more massive than Earth, and may circle the sun at an average distance of 600 astronomical units (AU) or so, Batygin and Brown said. (One AU is the average distance from Earth to the sun — about 93 million miles, or 150 million kilometers.)

Now, a new study models what Planet Nine — which, contrary to the claims of a recent New York Post video, will not destroy the Earth — might look like if those parameters are on the money. 

Astrophysics professor Christoph Mordasini and his Ph.D. student Esther Linder, both of the University of Bern in Switzerland, assumed that Planet Nine — if it exists — is basically a smaller version of the "ice giants" Uranus and Neptune, with an atmosphere dominated by hydrogen and helium.

Researchers say an anomaly in the orbits of distant Kuiper Belt objects points to the existence of an unknown planet orbiting the sun. Here's what we know of this potential "Planet Nine."

The duo then calculated that such a 10-Earth-mass Planet Nine would be about 3.7 times wider than our planet, with a temperature of minus 375 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 226 degrees Celsius; 47 degrees Kelvin).

"This means that the planet’s emission is dominated by the cooling of its core; otherwise, the temperature would only be 10 Kelvin," Linder said in a statement.

Since reflected sunlight would contribute very little to the total radiation emitted by Planet Nine, it would be much brighter in infrared light than in visual wavelengths, Mordasini and Linder said.

"With our study, candidate Planet Nine is now more than a simple point mass; it takes shape, having physical properties," Mordasini said in the same statement.

Mini-Neptunes like "Planet Nine" outnumber other types of planets found by astronomers. See our full infographic here.

Credit: by Karl Tate, Infographics artist

The researchers also used the results of their modeling work to investigate just how detectable Planet Nine might be. They determined that the various sky surveys that astronomers have already performed were likely incapable of spotting a Planet Nine that's less than 20 Earth masses, especially if the mysterious world were close to aphelion (the planet's farthest point from the sun during its highly elliptical orbit). But NASA's Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer satellite likely would have spotted a Planet Nine harboring more than 50 Earth masses.

"This puts an interesting upper mass limit for the planet," Linder said.

Further surveys and future instruments — such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, which is currently being built in Chile — should be able to confirm or rule out the existence of Planet Nine, the researchers said.

The new study has been accepted for publication in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.

Out Of The Blue - UFO Documentary

Large ‘Alien Markings’ Discovered On Earth By NASA From ‘SPACE’

Art by Raphael Terra @ http://ufoartist.blogspot.co.uk/

The ‘Drip-feeding’ of Disclosure appears to continue in numerous different ways, what with NASA recently presenting to the world photos taken from space of a series of huge, mysterious geoglyphs were discovered in the grasslands, or steppes, of Kazakhstan, first discovered back in 2007.

Please see below one of the 260 sites discovered in Kazakhstan:

As you can see from the above NASA image these structures are huge in size.  They were thought to have been formed by human-made mounds, divots, and trenches, the structures create giant images that can be seen from the sky, including shapes that look like crop circles, squares, and swastikas. Archaeologists estimate they were created around 8,000 years ago, but have no idea who built them, or why – It has even been suggested by some leading researchers that perhaps an Advanced Alien species used these as some kind of Galactic ‘markers’ or used to transmit energy in some way.

Since NASA has released these photos they have even admitted that they are completely clueless as to what or WHO created these incredible structures.  These structures could very well change our perspective on early humanity.

Yet another image taken from NASA – You can see by the scale how huge these structures really are.

These incredible glyphs were first discovered by an amateur Archaeologist called Dmitriy Dey way back in 2007, whilst  using Google Earth – over 260 of them have been discovered since. I guess what makes them intriguing enough for the guys at NASA to get involved is probably due to the fact that they were created a VERY long time ago! To put things into perspective the Nazca Lines in Peru, were only built around 1,500 years ago.

One of the most interesting things about this apart from the fantastic structures themselves, is that the only humans thought to be living in this region of Kazakhstan back then were nomadic Stone Age tribes – Leading researchers don’t believe that they were sophisticated enough to build anything like this, in fact it would have been impossible.

Could Ancient ‘Advanced’ Alien Beings be responsible for some of these age old structures? Art by Raphael Terra@http://ufoartist.blogspot.co.uk/

“The idea that foragers could amass the numbers of people necessary to undertake large-scale projects – like creating the Kazakhstan geoglyphs – has caused archaeologists to deeply rethink the nature and timing of sophisticated large-scale human organisation as one that predates settled and civilised societies,” Persis B. Clarkson, an archaeologist at the University of Winnipeg, told Ralph Blumenthal from The New York Times.

It has only been very recently that serious investigation into the shapes had only really just begun, with the glyphs formally being described at an archaeology conference last year for the first time – before that there were some concerns the whole thing was a hoax due to how remarkable the structures are. And it’s only the last two weeks that NASA has gotten involved.

NASA are now using satellites from one of their main contractors, DigitalGlobe, to take images of some of the most amazing structures from space, and they’ve also instructed that the astronauts on board the International Space Station to immediately start taking photos of the region – clearly things are being taken very seriously about these structures, although NASA will underplay that.

“I’ve never seen anything like this; I found it remarkable,” said Compton J. Tucker, a NASA scientist who provided the images. He added that NASA was “proceeding to map the entire region”.

Notice the Nazi looking sign to the left.

U.I.P SUMMARY – 

When I FIRST read about this, straight away I thought to myself “there could be FAR much more to this story than meets the eye!” especially with NASA getting heavily involved and spending millions of dollars in research!

What makes these glyphs so fascinating is their sheer size, they are that large that they’re unable to be seen from the ground. It is impossible to imagine a civilisation over 8,000 years ago contemplating the surface of the Earth from the air, for a start HOW WOULD THEY GET UP INTO THE AIR?  Consider this, one of the largest structures is the Ushtogay Square, which is about 250,000 metres in area,with its sides as long as a huge US aircraft carrier.

Another structure, which is called the Bestamskoe Ring, is basically a circle which has been made up of dozens of other smaller circles. There’s also the Turgai Swastika, which looks kind of like a three-armed swastika and as many of us will know the Swastika was used way before the Nazi’s started using it to inflict fear into the planet.

There is no way at this moment in time anybody can confirm who created these structures and WHY they are there, but what we can say is that we all need to take a large pinch of salt with whatever NASA throws back our way about these amazing structures.  The evidence is building that we have NOT been alone for a very long time, from looking at our own DNA, to unusual structures and markings around the world – It has even been suggested that these strange structures may be landing markers for Alien Beings, or some kind of coded message for Beings from a far!

Interesting times lie ahead.

Send Messages Into Space Traveling Forever For Free!!! April 2016, UFO Sighting News.

Space Speak: https://www.spacespeak.com

Yes, a new website has appeared on the internet called Space Speak, and it instantly transmits your messages into radio waves. This message will travel at the speed of light across the universe, virtually forever. You can send anything, messages to those lost, those loved or to aliens themselves. Me...I always start off with a joke about an alien who went into a bar...its a way to break the ice and to make aliens laugh. 

These sites never stay up for long so take advantage of it while you can for free. I have sent about 500 messages into space about 3 years ago. I used several giant radio telescope around the globe, but all of which are now shut off from public use. I used them to shoot off my books I wrote, my thoughts, my messages to aliens...its no wonder they ignore me, but lucky they haven't destroyed the planet, LOL. 

At the site, I'm YodaTW...I will be sending more messages, but the coolest thing is it tells you how far our message has traveled. So far, my alien joke has traveled 7,184,904,463 miles from Earth. Its free...let your hearts fly with this one.

UFO Caught Over Aztec Volcano On March 25, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: March 25, 2016
Location of sighting: Popocatepetl, Mexico
Live Cam: http://www.webcamsdemexico.com/webcam-popocatepetl

These UFO photos were taken over the Mexican volcano Popocatepetl, and ancient volcano that was named by the Aztecs, and worshiped as a god. I have been watching the live cam off and on over the years. In the beginning about 6 years ago, seeing a UFO on it was almost a daily event, and the UFOs stayed there for hours. Things changed after we started reporting them. The time they hovered around the volcano dropped from hours to seconds. I believe its due to all the UFO videos we placed on Youtube years back about it.

Something that also started a few years after reporting these UFOs...the live cam would suddenly go out for a few minutes. I believe its because aliens leaned of the live cams and are using tech to shut the down as they come out of the volcano so we cannot see them as easily. See...aliens do play dirty.

Is this rock proof of a lost European civilisation? Archaeologist claims boulder is the world's oldest man-made sphere

• Archaeologist Semir Osmanagic discovered the 'stone ball' in Podubravlje 
• Stone balls of Costa Rica made 1,500 years ago are considered the oldest
• Controversial expert previously claimed to have found Bosnian pyramids
• Other geologists have since cast doubt on Dr Osmanagic's claims 

By SARAH GRIFFITHS FOR MAILONLINE

It may look like the boulder that chased Indiana Jones out of a lost temple, but an archaeologist claims a bizarre natural sphere found in Bosnia is far from a film prop. 

In fact, he believes it is the world's oldest man-made sphere and claims it proves Europe has an advanced lost civilisation that used impressive technology more than 1,500 years ago.

But there seems to be no proof that the 'sphere' is anything more than an unusual product of nature at the moment.

Scroll down for video 

Archaeologist Semir Osmanagic claims this round rock is the world's oldest man-made stone sphere. He believes it proves Europe has an advanced lost civilisation that used impressive technology more than 1,500 years ago. But there seems to be no proof that the 'sphere' is anything more than an unusual product of nature

Controversial archaeologist Semir Osmanagic made the sensational claims in a forest at Podubravlje. 

He has previously hit the headlines for his work on the supposed existence of ancient pyramids in the Visoko Valley, which he believes are hidden in plain sight as a cluster of hills.

He believes once his research is complete, one of the pyramids will be shown to be taller than the Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt and the discovery will be the greatest find since Tutankhamen.

Dr Osmanagic, known as 'Bosnian Indiana Jones' who now lives in Austin in Texas, travels the world to investigate ancient sites.

He discovered the 'stone ball' near the town Zavidovici in central Bosnia and Herzegovina and said it is the heaviest man-made ball in the world.

It has a radius of between four and five feet (1.2 to 1.5 metres).

The archaeologist (pictured centre) believes its discovery in Bosnia proves Europe has an advanced lost civilisation using impressive technology more than 1,500 years ago

He discovered the 'stone ball' in a forest at Podubravlje (marked on the map) near the town Zavidovici in central Bosnia and Herzegovina and said it is the heaviest man-made ball in the world

The mysterious Bosnian boulder bears some resemblance to the spherical 'stone' that almost crushed Indiana Jones, played by Harrison Ford (pictured) when recovering a gold idol from a temple

The phenomenon of stone balls has been linked with ancient civilisations around the world with the most famous being the stone spheres of Costa Rica.

In total there are around 300, weighing up to 15 tonnes, which are believed to have been created by the now extinct Diquis culture, potentially making them up to 1,500 years old.

It is unclear how they were created but it is believed they were first sculpted from a local stone before being hammered and polished with sand.

If the huge stone in Bosnia is found to be hewn by human hands, it would be the largest man-made stone ball ever found - twice as heavy as the Costa Rican ones.

It's claimed that Bosnia used to have hundreds of spherical stones, but they were destroyed by people looking for gold inside them, as mentioned in a local myth.

Only eight are known to still be in their natural environment, including the one now been uncovered in the forest at Podubravlje.

Dr Osmanagic said the sphere has an extremely high iron content, and believes it may be older than those in Costa Rica, as well as larger.

'It is once again further proof that there was an advanced civilisation here with a high level of technology about which we know very little,' he said.

The controversial archaeologist has been researching stone balls for 15 years and based on visiting sites around the world believes that the ancient civilisation used the stone ball in the belief that it attracted positive energy and was able to offer healing benefits.

However, a number of experts from the University of Manchester disagree and believe the boulder is not man-made.

Lecturer Mandy Edwards from the university's School of Earth, Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences told MailOnline the spherical stone may be an example of concretion.

This is when a compact mass of rock is formed by the precipitation of natural mineral cement within the spaces between sediment grains.

The result is often spherical in shape, with the process forming the famed Koutu boulders in New Zealand. 

Experts at the Geological Society said the round shape of the rock could be the result of like spheroidal weathering - a form of chemical weathering that affects jointed bedrock and results in the formation of concentric or spherical layers of highly decayed rock - and that there may be similar rocks in the area too.

Dr Osmanagic was treated as a crank when he first made claims about the pyramids, but he was given backing by the government of Bosnia and Herzegovina to fund his research into the subject.

The Bosnian Prime Minister at the time, Nedzad Brankovic, said: 'We were told the world was laughing at us when we decided to back this excavation, but there is no government in the world that should stay quiet on things which are positive.

'Why should we deny something that has attracted the attention of the whole world? We want to have official institutions involved in research in Visoko.'

American author Paul Von Ward said the Bosnian Valley of Pyramids was the 'most exciting and most important archaeological place in the world' and added: 'They are a stunning blow to conventional history - these mammoth structures were built bigger and better and even earlier - thousands of miles away in Europe - than the pyramids in Egypt.

'The Bosnian pyramids don't have pharaohs in them, but were instead built as tributes to ancient gods by thousands of slave workers.'

Egyptian archaeologist Dr Nabil Swelim said: 'It is a building achievement of genius and great importance for the entire world.

'This is an unbelievable discovery. It will take a lot of time to understand how these great structures were built.'

However, some professional geologists, archaeologists, and scientists have said the 'pyramids' show no signs of human construction.

THE INCREDIBLE STONE SPHERES OF COSTA RICA 

The phenomenon of stone balls has been linked with ancient civilisations around the world with the most famous being the stone spheres of Costa Rica, or 'Las Bolas'.

In total there are around 300 petrospheres, weighing up to 15 tonnes, which are believed to have been created by the now extinct Diquis culture, making them up to 1,500 years old.

The spheres range in size from a few centimetres to over 6.6ft (two metres) in diameter.

Most are sculpted from gabbro - the coarse-grained equivalent of basalt- and there are a dozen or so made from shell-rich limestone, and another dozen made from a sandstone.

It is unclear how they were created but it is believed that they were first sculpted from a local stone before being hammered and then polished with sand.

The degree of finishing and precision of working varies considerably.
