New Photos Shed New Light on Area 51

Paul Seaburn

What going on these days at Area 51, the ‘top secret’ Air Force base in Nevada protected by agents authorized to use “deadly force” to protect the property and the secrets it holds? If you’re tired of the same old satellite photos and don’t want to risk your own life peering through the fence with your phone on a really long selfie stick, you’re resigned to waiting for someone crazy enough to figure other ways to get a look inside. A couple of UFO seekers who call themselves the UFO Seekersdid just that recently by climbing a peak for a peek. Piqued?

The dangerous precipice surmounted by these brave Area 51 fanatics is Tikaboo Peak, which is in fact well known as the place for the best outside-the-fence ground-based view of Area 51. While it’s perfectly legal to climb up there, it’s also perfectly frustrating because it’s 26 miles from the base as the crow flies … if the crow managed to survive the flight without being shot down. The peak is at 8,000 feet and is accessible via the Interceptors Trail — a 25-mile dirt road off of US-93 that is sandy, deeply rutted and dangerous even for an SUV.

Despite that, Tim and Tracey Doyle, the intrepid team from UFO Seekers, made it to the top, recording all the way. At the peak, they set up a camera with a super-long-distance lens to recordwhat was going on at Area 51 on a typical day. As you might expect, they spotted what appear to be flying saucers, small beings with large grey heads working out in what looks like a heavily guarded prison recreation area and a triangular-shaped jet that moved almost too fast to be seen and may have cloaked.

OK, that last part was what you hoped they saw, right? The shots of Area 51 are clear and sharp, but they showed what the military personnel would feel comfortable showing in the direction of a peak that is known to occasionally have people with high-powered lenses peering back at them. They saw conventional military vehicles, roads, hangars, runways and buildings. One of the hangars was one that had been know to be under construction and new appears to be completed, but what’s inside couldn’t be seen through any tiny windows … if those dots were really windows. Unfortunately, nothing seemed to be in use for anything out of the ordinary – at least from a distance of 26 miles.

What about in the other direction? The UFO Seekers noticed a large antenna on Tikaboo Peak. It’s been there since at least 2015 and, while its purported purpose is to provide weather data to the base, it’s most likely sending surveillance videos as well, so dress nice and wave if you make the trek.

And yes, anyone can make the trek … not just ufo seekers or UFO Seekers. If their video piques your interest in a peek from the peak, check the trail and hiking guides in Las Vegas or the Tikaboo Peak Facebook page. Yes, the secret peeking peak has a Facebook page – so much for being the first (or the second) to get exclusive shots of the latest whatever from Area 51.

The best part about the video by UFO Seekers is the adventure itself. They do a great job of recording the trek and their pictures – while not of alien bodies or crashed spaceships – are excellent photos of the most famous base in the U.S. That’s what adventure is all about … the day you climb the peak just might be the day the saucer lands.

Orange UFO Buzzes Passenger Plane Over Scotland

Brett Tingley

An airliner in Scotland had a recent close encounter with an object which aviation experts have so far been unable to identify. The incident is the second such near-miss to happen at the airport since 2012.

The Glasgow-based Evening Times reported the incident this week after the near-miss was posted to the UK Airprox Board, a forum where pilots and passengers can post reports of “airprox.” An airprox is defined as any incident “in which, in the opinion of a pilot or air traffic services personnel, the distance between aircraft as well as their relative positions and speed have been such that the safety of the aircraft involved may have been compromised.” According to the report, the incident occurred on May 26 when an Airbus A230 was on approach into the Glasgow Airport:

The A320 pilot reports the he was approximately three nautical miles finals for Runway 23 when the crew spotted an orange light ahead and slightly above, which appeared to be traveling in the opposite direction. The light passed about 100-200ft above their aircraft.

The report concludes by noting that “the board could not determine the identity or proximity of the object.” Sightings and near-misses of drones have become fairly common over the last couple years as commercial drones are becoming more popular, but pilots and air traffic control personnel are usually able to easily identify drone encounters. 

There have been other similar close calls reported lately, including an incident with a Canadian airliner in which pilots were forced to take evasive action in order to avoid an oncoming UFO. Sightings of UFOs occurring on passenger planes have been shown to be on the rise. Are these merely a result of increased drone activity, or is something else afoot in our skies? Either one is sure to worry frequent flyers.

UFOs of the Cold War Era, and Other Mystery Objects of Military Origin

Micah Hanks

It’s a bird… it’s a plane… it’s… it’s… a UFO?

While birds and planes have certainly been mistaken for UFOs over the years, there are far more interesting things that have been mistaken for saucers, too. As history has shown, a lot of these mysterious skybound objects were secret military prototypes and other technologies, some of which were even operating outside the bounds of existing nuclear test treaties.

Popular Mechanics recently featured a piece by Kyle Mizokami, which discussed Soviet tests back in the late 1960s that dealt with such technologies. Residents in the Soviet Union reported six incidents where a strange, crescent-shaped object roughly the size of the moon appeared in the night sky, and to much attention from the press and regional UFO groups.

It was later revealed that these “UFOs” had a very terrestrial source:

The “UFO” sightings were actually test launches of the R-36 Orb, a secret nuclear space missile. Developed from the SS-9 Scarp intercontinental ballistic missile, the R-36 Orb was designed to rocket into low earth orbit and de-orbit over the United States. Launched in a southern direction, the weapon could pass over the South Pole and then come at the United States from the direction of Mexico, bypassing the network of early warning radars facing north. The trip would be longer but would catch the Americans by surprise, allowing the Soviets the chance to detonate a 2-3 megaton thermonuclear weapon wherever they might choose.

The chilling details about this technology show just how dire the Cold War period could have been, had there ever been a situation that erupted into conflict. Here, it also shows us one of many instances where weapons development by military superpowers have contributed to UFO sightings. In his book The Demon Haunted World, Carl Sagan similarly discussed how the U2 and Oxcart programs during the same era put high altitude aircraft into the sky which, seen close to dusk by ground based observers, were high enough that they could easily reflect light of the sun from a good distance away. Ideally, this would present circumstances where it was nearly dark for those on the ground, and thus the objects appeared very different from most conventional planes of that era.

One of the most famous situations involving a military operation that was mistaken for phenomenon associated with UFOs involved Paul Bennewitz, who in the 1980s had interpreted tests being conducted at Kirtland Air Force Base as evidence for extraterrestrial communication (these tests actually involved NSA studies being conducted at the locale). Bennewitz, who already had a history of mental illness, became one of the targets of a misinformation campaign, whose actors included Richard Doty, an agent with the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations, as well as ufologist William Moore and others.

There are countless other examples of military exercises and various experimental technologies being mistaken for things like extraterrestrial vehicles and other more esoteric things. However, in recognizing this fundamental truth, questions must be raised in relation to whether all reports of UFOs can merely be chalked up to mis-identification of known phenomenon (including military operations, etc), or if there are indeed foreign sources behind some reports of UFO craft.

In another recent MU article, I wrote about my personal experiences with viewing space debris, iridium satellites, and other reflective objects that often are mistaken for being UFOs, driving home the importance for being able to spot and properly discern what these objects are. Part of what drives me to do this is the fact that, for instance, I’ve seen the everything from iridium “flares”, to bioluminescent plankton turn up in videos the likes of those produced by Dr. Stephen Greer’s Disclosure Project, in segments where participants claimed to have been communicating with “alien” intelligences.

While it’s easy to jump to criticism, and begin ridiculing such cases of mistaken identity, I feel a more noble (and worthy) way to engage such situations is to attempt to educate, rather than resort to cynicism. Commentators that routinely employ ridicule and cynicism in their arguments betray an intention to present themselves as intellectually superior, which further reveals motivation based in egotism, rather than education.

Unfortunately, the bad attitudes taken by many modern skeptics are, to me, evidence of this egotistically-driven cynicism; these individuals may find themselves lacking in fortitude in some other area of their lives, which may drive an innate desire to find areas where compensatory control can be established, thus manifesting in exercises that attempt to establish intellectual “higher ground,” if not through facts, through ridicule and harassment. However, further extrapolation on the motives and frustrations of such skeptics would require delving deeply into the psychology of these individuals, and is thus beyond the scope of the present argument.

As I have said countless times before, there are many good skeptics, and then there are a few bullies… we’ll leave it at that for now. At the end of the day, what we’re left to try and discern is whether a majority of incidents involving unusual aerial objects can be explained by clandestine military activities (and often in the absence of reliable data, due to the secrecy surrounding such subjects).

Thus, it becomes difficult at times for us to gauge what kinds of technology have been developed and tested over the years, versus the kinds of things that seem otherworldly, and are thus perceived as being “theirs” (i.e. the aliens).

I would nonetheless say that, if I had to guess, there is probably a lot going on behind the scenes right here on Earth, which can explain much of the weird stuff we’ve seen turn up during UFO incidents over the years. The question is, if not by virtue of the all-hallowed “disclosure” idea, then how will we ever get to the bottom of what’s really going on?

The “IFO” Experience: Strange Strobing Lights and “Identifiable” UFOs

Micah Hanks

During a nighttime UFO “sky watch” that I participated in a number of years ago, I recall a crowd of observers that were standing near me, who became extremely excited as an object appeared directly above us. This light grew brighter as it passed overhead, and at the “climax” of the experience, it seemed to produce a bright flash almost directly downward, after which it suddenly dimmed, become faint enough that we could no longer see it.

“Did you see that?” one of them said with excitement. “It signaled to us, and then blinked out completely!” To my group of hopeful UFO-spotters, it was clear that this object had been no star; additionally, the fact that it became very bright at one point seemed to indicate that the object was attempting to communicate with us in some way.

While they were correct that the object had been no star, I found it odd–though slightly charming–that they perceived the change in brightness we observed as being somehow relevant to our little group of observers. To them, it was as though some intelligence greater than us actually had been aware that we were down here watching, and chose to send salutations to our meager little group.

Perhaps my innate cosmicism stems from my appreciation for Lovecraft’s writing, which often played down the importance of humanity in the eyes of his fictional alien Elder Gods. After all, why would humanity necessarily be of any importance to alien visitors? Furthermore, if aliens were trying to communicate with us, why would they do so in ways that are so ambiguous as to merely fly overhead and flash their landing lights at us?

Of course, to anyone that has spent enough time outside observing the night sky, the object I’ve described here was no UFO spaceship at all. It was pretty obviously an iridium satellite, which was reflecting more light from the sun in our direction as its position turned in its orbit while passing overhead. Countless times since then, I have used an app on my iPhone to determine when, almost down to the second, an iridium satellite was going to appear; in many of those instances, the same characteristics involving a buildup to a bright flash was repeated.

As instructive as the story above had been, I also recall with equal vividness the time a colleague of mine argued that there was no benefit to discussing these identifiable flying objects, or “IFOs,” for which he presented an unusual kind of logic. “At the end of the day,” he said, “this proves nothing, because we aren’t talking about actual spaceships!”

To the contrary, I think it is very important to be able to identify the more prosaic things in the night skies. The only thing more important than this would probably be discussing it with others, so that a broader range of observers can become adept at identifying seemingly unusual things they have seen.

A great example was recently sent along to me by a listener of my podcast named Calvin, who gave an excellent description of something he and a group of friends observed recently over Tennessee.

“We were all laying down on blankets looking up at the sky at the campground we were staying at, Calvin said. “We were specifically watching for iridium flares or any other kind of satellites. We saw a few iridium flares over the course of a few hours.” 

Calvin further described how at one point, a bright flash of light from another part of the sky captured he and his company’s attention:

“At one point though we saw an extremely bright flash come from the opposite side of the sky the iridium flares were traveling from. when we looked there was nothing there. But a split second later the object flashed again but not as bright as the first time. we then started to track the object going across the sky and seemingly flashing at random. The flashing didn’t seem to be evenly spaced and sometimes it would flash so faint you could barely see it and other times the object would flash so bright nothing else was as bright in the sky. Between the flashes though we would totally lose sight of the thing. Also it was moving extremely slowly compared to the iridium flares i am used to seeing.

Whatever it was it appeared to be in orbit but we have no way of knowing for sure if it was. We were talking about the thing the whole time we had it under sight, which was no less than 15 minutes. We have no clue what the thing was, but we also think from the random flashing and the degree of brightness that maybe it was a tumbling object in space. Maybe some space junk catching the sun’s rays just right or something similar. 

While the behavior was similar to what my own sky watching group had observed years ago, Calvin and his company’s interpretation of what they saw is similar to my own, in that they believe it was a manmade object in orbit, reflecting light as it tumbled along. “Whatever it was it was weird to us,” Calvin told me. “I have never seen anything like it, and I was wondering what you would think about this object as well.” Although such objects can, at times, appear a bit out of the ordinary based on their movement, light patterns, etc, my bet would be that Calvin was spot-on when he suggested it was some type of “space junk.” 

So again, the question may come to mind, “why is any of this important?” In what I consider to be a truly landmark book, Allan Hendry’s The UFO Handbook, the author spends almost half the book discussing the various “normal” things that can appear quite out of the ordinary to an observer at night. A favorite of mine had been advertising planes, which often perplexed observers for miles with their illuminated flags advertising everything from restaurants, to legal services. When seen even from a short distance away, these lit-up banners were often interpreted by ground based observers as resembling luminous, dome or saucer-shaped aircraft. In most cases, Hendry was able to make calls to regional FAA authorities, and determine almost precisely which planes were flying in an area at a given time, and hence, identified many such “saucers” as the commercial aircraft they actually were.

As Hendry was intending to help illustrate by focusing on identifying prosaic sources of nighttime UFO reports, a skilled UFO investigator needs to be informed on more than just the potentials relating unidentified aircraft. They must also be able to identify otherwise easily recognizable objects, which may appear differently when seen under unique circumstances.

Even experienced sky watchers may, from time to time, see things that fall outside the ordinary patterns associated with them, whether it be manmade objects in orbit, or even airplanes, as Allan Hendry discussed in The UFO Handbook. 

Of course, I in no way mean to assert that all unidentified flying objects have prosaic solutions, and neither did Hendry when he wrote about such scenarios decades ago. But to borrow an absurd (but relative) reference, as G.I. Joe often said, “knowing is half the battle.” I do think it’s pretty safe to say that this applies to UFOs too, and that for observers who educate themselves on the varieties of the IFO experience, sky watching is not only more fun, but it makes them better at spotting any actual UFOs, as well.

“The UFO Dossier” – Reviewed

Nick Redfern

Just recently I was mailed a review copy of Kevin D. Randle’s book, The UFO Dossier, which is published by Visible Ink Press. Many people will associate Kevin with his books on the Roswell, New Mexico event of early July 1947, including UFO Crash at Roswell (this one with Don Schmitt); Crash: When UFOs Fall From the Sky; and what I consider to be Kevin’s best book on Roswell, which is titled Roswell in the 21st Century. So, when I got a copy of Kevin’s latest, I was expecting more on what many see as Ufology’s number-one case. But, no! Roswell is completely absent. I’ll refrain from saying it has been abducted…

The sub-title gets right to the theme of the book: 100 Years of Government Secrets, Conspiracies, and Cover-Ups. This is a book written by someone who has been in the UFO subject a long time, and that shines through in the pages of this slightly more than 400-pages-long book. In some respects, it reads like many of the UFO-themed books I read as a kid. Now, I don’t mean that Kevin’s book is an exercise in nostalgia; it’s certainly not. Rather, I mean that it’s packed with data on classic incidents of the type many might say we rarely see nowadays. I’m talking about the likes of “vehicle interference” cases, close encounters between military aircraft and UFOs, waves and flaps, and landing cases. Even though many assume that those days are gone, Kevin shows that such incidents still occur – and to a significant degree.

The “Battle of Los Angeles” gets good, solid coverage. What I particularly enjoyed about Kevin’s write-up on this curious affair – which involved unknown targets seen in the skies of Los Angeles on the night of February 25, 1942 – was Kevin’s approach. To his credit Kevin does not rely on sensational tales – or as Greg Bishop calls it, “UFO porn.” Rather, for the most part, Kevin focuses his attention on official documentation on the case and which was prepared by the Office of Air Force History. Kevin takes issue with the military’s weather-balloon-based conclusions. And being Kevin, he does not do so in a shrill, arms-folded, defensive and sensationalized fashion. Rather, he carefully dissects the official version of events and points out the flaws – of which, he concludes, there are more than a few.

For me, one of the most interesting sections of the book is that titled “Lights in the Night Sky.” The legendary saga of the “Lubbock Lights” of 1951 gets good, solid treatment. Kevin, remaining open-minded and with no agenda, finds fault in some of the reports, but suggests that some of the encounters still fall into the “unknown” category. Kevin notes one of the most important aspects of the sighting of “a group of dully glowing lights” which passed “overhead in a matter of seconds.” And what might that be? The fact that the primary witnesses were a group of professors from the Texas Technical College – now the Texas Tech University.

In this same section, Kevin also focuses on what I consider to have been a highly credible wave of UFO activity which occurred in Belgium in November 1989, and which continued through 1990. That the Belgian Air Force took this wave of activity extremely seriously adds weight to the reports of fast-flying, triangular-shaped UFOs. Kevin, however, does not shy away from the issue of hoaxing and how this has definitely impacted on what may have been a legitimate number of encounters.

Turning his attention to the 1970s, Kevin takes a look at the October 18, 1973 extremely close encounter between a UFO and the crew of an Army Reserve helicopter in the skies of Ohio. That was the night when – according to arch-skeptic Philip Klass – the crew had an encounter with nothing stranger than a meteor. Kevin notes the many and varied reasons why Klass was wide of the mark. Kevin comes to the point: “In the end, this is a case that screams to be labeled as ‘unidentified,’ because there is no valid explanation for it. Klass was simply wrong in his analysis, and his speculations should be ignored because of his manipulation of the evidence and his lack of the flight characteristics of the helicopter.”

Particularly refreshing was the section “Humanoid Reports in the Twenty-First Century.” It’s very much a mistake to say that reports of alleged alien entities are on the decline. We’re not just talking about alien abduction-type encounters. Flying humanoids, nine-foot-tall monsters, and a classic Contactee-like report from North Port, Florida fin August 2012 all appear in the pages of Kevin’s book. As for the rest of the book, you get a good study of the Rendlesham Forest incident of December 1980, pilot encounters in the skies of France, and the controversial McMinville photos of May 11, 1950 – taken by Paul Trent. The 17-page piece on McMinville is one of the best, as Kevin turns detective and addresses the case to a really in-depth degree. Real or fake? Again, Kevin gives the reader both sides of the argument.

If you want a no-nonsense, impartial look at Ufology and some of its most well-known cases, then The UFO Dossier is one I definitely recommend.

Nominee for Chief Scientist Once Saw a 5,000-MPH UFO

Paul Seaburn

-

Those who thought that potential discussions of UFOs in the White House ended with the defeat of Hillary Clinton and her campaign manager, John ‘We’ll Open the Secret Files’ Podesta, have new hope. The nominee for chief scientist of the Department of Agriculture claims he once had an encounter with a UFO that he believed was traveling at 5,000 miles-per-hour. Will he pursue the release of the files that might identify what he saw?

We’ll leave the discussions about whether former radio host and economics professor Samuel H. ‘Sam’ Clovis Jr. is qualified to be a chief scientist to the political blogs and instead focus on whether the former US Air Force F-16 fighter pilot, former Inspector General of the United States Space Command and alleged UFO witness is qualified to be our inside guy for opening the X-Files.

According to a 2014 report in the Des Moines Register, Clovis was running for one of Iowa’s US Senate seats when he admitted to host Simon Conway at WHO Radio that he once encountered a UFO. From Conway’s account in the Register:

“His radar locked on it, and it was doing things our technology couldn’t do, he explained. The UFO was traveling toward him at 5,000 mph — and we’ve got nothing that does that. It came to a complete stop, he said, then reversed away at 5,000 mph.”

Clovis served in the Air Force for 25 years from 1971 to 1996 and, although he doesn’t give a date, this incident probably occurred earlier in his flying career. There’s no indication that any other pilot or ground crew member saw the UFO nor heard what would have been at least two sonic booms. According to the article, pilot Clovis handed the radar report over to his commanding officers and doesn’t seem to have said anything about it publicly until 2014.

What about privately? Towards the end of his Air Force career, Clovis served as Inspector General of the U.S. Space Command (USSPACECOM). Formed in 1985, this branch of the Defense Department, based at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado, was responsible for Air Force activities in outer space – such as satellite communications, intelligence, missile-warning and weather systems in conflict areas. As Inspector General, Clovis would have been responsible for monitoring and auditing the actions of Space Command to ensure it operated in compliance with generally established policies of the government and to watch for instances of misconduct, waste, fraud, or criminal activity. There seems to be no indication of anything of the sort happening under Clovis’ time at Space Commend, nor is there any public information that he inspected or was even interested in UFO activities at the time.

Sam Clovis

How about now? Well, he’s nominated for chief scientist at the Department of Agriculture, not exactly an organization that would be aware of or interested in UFO activities … unless they were connected to crop circles. While the department works with NASA on climate science – something important to farmers – Clovis has called climate science “junk” and would probably avoid dealing with NASA. With his background in economics, it would appear he’d be more interested in looking for spending to cut rather than X-files to expose.

For now, Sam Clovis doesn’t seem like a candidate for full disclosure of UFO files should he get an inside White House job. Perhaps someone can nominate Tom DeLonge for a job.

Shattered! A Strange Saga of the M.I.B.

Nick Redfern

For me, it’s always a good day when I put the finishing touches to a manuscript. And, June 16, 2015 was the date on which I completed the writing of my book, Men in Black: Personal Stories and Eerie Encounters. Of course, the manuscript still had to go through the editing and proof-reading stages. And I had to dig out a bunch of photos, too. But, there’s a good feeling of satisfaction, while sitting at your desk, knowing that the bulk of the work is done. Plus, it was a hot and sunny day. The birds were singing in the trees outside my apartment. And that night I was due to see, with a bunch of friends, a Motley Crue tribute band play in a local beer and junk-food dive. It was all good! Except, that is, for one thing which occurred around 9:45 a.m. That was roughly the time when I made the final change to the manuscript, then saved and closed it. I was ready to email it to my agent, Lisa Hagan, for review.

Only barely a second or two after I closed the document, I heard a sudden bang coming from one of the rooms in my apartment. I frowned, stood up, and probably said something to myself along the lines of “WTF?” And, since my apartment home is a small one, it didn’t take long at all for me to find the cause of that bang; seconds, in fact. On walking into my bedroom, I saw that one of the many pictures I have on my walls had fallen to the floor. Despite the floor being carpeted, the black picture frame was broken and the glass had shattered, with pieces and shards all over the carpet. Dammit. Time to get out the vacuum-cleaner. What was particularly eye-opening, however, was the specific item which had fallen from the wall.

It was a framed letter written back in 1953 by none other than Albert Bender. He was the man who, arguably, birthed the mystery of the Men in Black. It was all as a result of his early-1950s-era traumatic experiences with a trio of glowing-eyed, vampire-like MIB in his hometown of Bridgeport, Connecticut. The strange tale was chronicled in Bender’s 1962 book, Flying Saucers and the Three Men. It wasn’t long after that initial encounter in the fifties that Bender, who had got into UFOs in the late-1940s, and who created the International Flying Saucer Bureau, couldn’t take anymore mayhem and menace in his life. Bender quit Ufology, only briefly returning at the turn of the sixties to write and promote the aforementioned Flying Saucers and the Three Men. And, after that, he did not look back. Well, maybe a glance or two, but certainly not much more. Now, back to my busted picture.

At the time, the maintenance guys at the apartments were working outside, hammering away at something. So, one could make a good, solid case that the vibrations from their tools dislodged the picture and – hey, presto – I’m left with a broken frame and glass everywhere. Maybe that’s all

Unidentified Flying Objects Cause Concerns Over Delhi Airport, Officials Say

Micah Hanks

In Delhi, India, close to half a dozen pilots have reported seeing unidentified flying objects near the city’s largest airport every month.

In at least some of the incidents, air traffic controllers have halted flights as a safety measure, although a majority of the incidents involving “mystery objects” have not resulted in flight interruptions, Hindustan Times reported. While police say they have been unable to identify a number of the objects in the reports, this has been due in part to the reports being logged by pilots in nautical miles.

In the past two years alone, there have been hundreds of reports of the mystery objects logged by authorities.

Explanations for the “UFOs” ranges from drones, to balloons, and even bright lights flashed at events nearby, which include wedding celebrations. Aviation authorities have advised partygoers to refrain from using brightly lit fixtures and other light emitting sources when in near proximity to the Delhi airport.

Much like in the United States, the use of lasers, when directed at aircraft in flight, is a punishable offense.

This, under the local legislation section 144 CrPC, states that, “Any person, group of persons, organizers, owners, occupiers, employees contravening these orders shall be liable to be punished in accordance with provisions of section 188 of the IPC.”

UFO sightings near airports have apparently been on the rise in other locales around the world, particularly since the advent of the modern drone era. Popular varieties available online can be obtained for just a few hundred dollars, available to hobbyists and other aviation enthusiasts. However, regulations in most countries prohibit operation of drones in close proximity to airports, due to the safety concerns involved.

Drones and balloons aren’t the only strange objects reported by pilots near airports. In 2010, a truly bizarre incident occurred, which involved a “flying egg” that was observed by a pilots during a training flight near the  Anoka County-Blaine Airport (ANE), outside of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The pilots noted that, “other aircraft were on the frequency but no other aircraft were in our area,” despite the sudden appearance of a strange looking, egg-shaped object near them on their approach for runway number nine.

The pilots in question attempted to establish radio contact with the mystery craft, but to no avail, reporting that the pilot of the mystery object, “was heading slightly southeastward. They were pushing us off our final approach to Runway 9. As we corrected to the southeast to avoid this aircraft I told Tower we had an aircraft out our left window within probably 200 [feet]. He did not have him on a transponder and was able to visually see him with field glasses out the Tower window.”

The only other descriptions given in pilot’s report had been that, “This unidentified aircraft appeared to be a homebuilt (ultralight?) with an enclosed cabin that looked as if it seated two. It looked similar to a flying egg.” Who knows what the aircraft in question was, or who its pilots had been, since there didn’t appear to be radios or transponders on board (interestingly, there is a bit of history to these odd, “egg shaped” objects in UFO lore. For more on this subject, see my article from last year on pilot encounters with egg shaped UFOs).

Could there be some hobbyists at work in Delhi, India, as well? Regardless, it seems that with the use of conventional drones on the rise, similar reports of “mystery objects” by pilots will no doubt continue.

Mystery Aircraft Involved in Fatal Air Force Crash

Brett Tingley

One of the enduring theories explaining various UFO phenomena in the modern era is that militaries have created and propagated UFO rumors in order to mask tests of new aerospace technologies. One hole in this theory, though, is that UFO sightings predate the advent of man-made flying machines by quite a few centuries. Nevertheless, it’s plausible to suspect that perhaps at least some of the sightings over the last century or so can be chalked up to clandestine military tests or even foreign entities operating over our own skies.

Tests of secretive new aircraft and reports of foreign spy planes seem to have been ramping up this year, with numerous sightings of odd planes and unconventional aircraft pouring in around the globe. Now, a strange and fatal crash of a U.S. Air Force craft is showing that there is indeed likely more than meets the eye in the skies overhead.

Lt. Col. Eric Schultz, 44, of Annapolis, Maryland died in the crash. Schultz was a highly decorated pilot and test engineer who flew over 50 combat missions in Afghanistan. The USAF reported that the crash occurred around 6:00 pm on Tuesday, September 5th at the 2.9-million acre Nevada Test and Training Range about 100 miles northwest of Nellis Air Force Base.

Lt. Col. Schultz leaves behind a wife and five children.

However, the Air Force didn’t report the crash until September 8th, and has still yet to state what type of aircraft was involved in the crash. Maj. Christina Sukach, chief of public affairs at Nellis, has said only that “information about the type of aircraft involved is classified and not releasable.” Air Force Chief of Staff General David L. Goldfein has meanwhile stated only that the aircraft was definitely not an F-35.

So what was it then? Several aviation outlets have speculated that perhaps Lt. Col. Schultz might have been flying a Chinese or Russian-made aircraft in order to test its capabilities. Photographs of Russian-built Sukhoi SU-27 planes flying over the Nevada Test and Training Range surfaced last year. Other theories state that perhaps Schultz was flying a modified F-117A or other “black jet,” meaning some form of undisclosed spy plane. If that’s the case, we’ll likely never know.

Which brings me back to my original point – can at least some modern UFO sightings be chalked up to secretive military testing? Given that the USAF clearly doesn’t want us to know what plane was involved in the crash, it’s safe to say that there are planes currently in our skies that are unlike anything the general public is familiar with. Or, could it work the other way; could the proverbial ‘they’ want us to think they’re testing new craft when in fact extraterrestrial craft are zooming around conducting surveillance on us lowly earthlings? Unlikely, but as with all things mysterious, who really knows for sure? For now, this one goes down as a genuine military mystery and more importantly, an unfortunate tragedy.

Chinese Scientists Claim to Have Working EM Drive Prototype

Brett Tingley

The ongoing saga of the EM Drive has been one of the more intriguing space stories lately. The story goes back a few decades when U.K.-based inventor and physicist Roger Shawyer came up with the concept. The EM Drive requires no fuel, but uses powerful electromagnetic radiation and a loophole in the laws of physics to create thrust where there should basically be none. Over the last year, the EM Drive has been in and out of the news with leaked documents, publicly-available patents, and full-scale tests of the groundbreaking and controversial propulsion device. If the EM Drive lives up to the hype, it could be the first step in mankind’s quest to achieve true interstellar travel.

With such high stakes, you’d think the various space agencies of the world would cooperate in order to get a working EM Drive in space, but you know how humans are. Tribalism wins every time. The EM Drive has set in motion somewhat of a new mini-space race between China and the West. Chinese scientists announced last year that they had a successful EM Drive working in space, but doubts were cast on those claims in the West due to no real demonstration of the drive. Now, Chinese state media have released a video they claim shows their working EM Drive.

The video is titled “Propellantless propulsion: The Chinese EmDrive by CAST scientist Dr Chen Yue, China’s Space Agency,” and shows scientists performing various tests on the alleged working EM Drive. Aside from good ol’ British tabloids, few Western news outlets have jumped on the story, possibly due to the current lack of subtitles or translations.

So far, the story seems to be mostly covered by Chinese and Russian news agencies. With all of the turmoil in the U.S. over the future of NASA and its leadership, could this be merely more shadowy agitprop aimed at discouraging any future development of our storied and successful space program? Time will tell, as the Chinese scientists claim to soon launch a working EM Drive into space for actual testing.

OVERWELDIGEND BEWIJS VOOR BUITENAARDS CONTACT IN MEXICO ( VIDEO )

Midden- en Zuid Amerika zijn natuurlijk fascinerende gebieden voor hen die op zoek zijn naar buitenaards contact in het verleden. 

Waar we recent bewijs zagen van dit contact in Egypte, zo komen er nu heel interessante objecten tevoorschijn in Mexico. 

Het is eigenlijk misdadig als je bedenkt hoe ons verleden systematisch voor ons verborgen wordt gehouden door de machthebbers. Hoe ze er alles aan doen om het overweldigend bewijs dat er is voor buitenaards contact, ook in het verleden, volkomen negeren. 

Terwijl het bewijs dat de aarde in het verleden werd bezocht door buitenaardsen letterlijk voor het oprapen ligt. Zoals dat bijvoorbeeld het geval is in een bepaalde streek van Mexico. 

We spreken dan over een gebied tussen de steden Pueblo en Veracruz waar als sinds oude tijden verhalen de ronde doen over een mysterieus ruimteschip en drie grotten in dat gebied. 

Eerder dit jaar besloot een groep onderzoekers een expeditie te ondernemen naar dit bepaalde gebied om te zien of ze iets meer te weten konden komen over dit geheimzinnige ruimteschip. 

Ze vonden geen ruimteschip, maar wel talloze stenen tabletten, met daarop allerlei afbeeldingen die aan duidelijkheid niets te wensen over laten.

Op de bovenste afbeelding zie je duidelijk een figuur dat lijkt op een alien die voor een lokale heerser staat die op een troon zit. 

De onderzoekers zijn ervan overtuigd dat deze stenen het ultieme bewijs zijn dat de aarde al duizenden jaren geleden bezoek heeft gehad van buitenaardsen.

En ook hier is de bekende vorm van een klassieke vliegende schotel, inclusief koepel, waar te nemen.

Verder zijn er op de stenen nog allerlei vreemde symbolen gevonden die nog ontcijferd moeten worden. 

Dit is het soort bewijs dat niet van tafel geveegd kan worden. Het zijn stenen van duizenden jaren oud die ons een verhaal vertellen, dat volgens de machthebbers op deze wereld niet mogelijk is omdat het niet zou bestaan. 

Navolgend nog wat meer beelden, met helaas Spaans gesproken commentaar, maar het geeft in ieder geval een goede indruk van deze zeer bijzondere vondst.

Bright UFO appears after lightning strike over Hastings, Nebraska

On August 3, 2017 during a lightning storm in Hastings, Nebraska a photographer recorded not only a beautiful display of lightening. After a lightning strike an ascending bright UFO becomes visible, speeding across the sky then turns a slightly before disappearing.

The lightning strike and UFO starts from 0.55 seconds to 01.36 seconds in the video which the photographer has submitted to MUFON.

You can see the video at the following Mufon case file link: https://www.mufoncms.com/files_jeud8334j/86656_submitter_file1__20170803003029.mp4

Mysterious stones engraved with alien figures and spaceships found in a Mexican Cave

Local legends speak of a mysterious ‘spaceship’ that has remained since ancient times somewhere near a system of three caves located between the cities of Veracruz and Puebla in Mexico on which a group of researchers decided to travel to the area a few months ago to find out more about this mysterious ‘spaceship.’

Credit: Link image.

So far they did not found the alleged ‘spaceship’ but during their research in one of the caves they have found stone objects with images of what seems to be alien spacecraft and aliens engraved in the stones.

Engraved in one of the stones there is a suspected alien standing next to a ruler of pre-Hispanic culture. There are also symbols found that need to be decrypted.

The researchers are convinced that the’ jade’ stones with engraved extraterrestrial figures could be the ultimate proof that the earth has been visited by aliens thousands of years ago, moreover, the mixture of extraterrestrial and non-extraterrestrial cultures on the stones suggests that there was contact between aliens and the Mayan culture.

Credit: link image.

One of the researchers, José Aguayo, admitted that the Mexican Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) cannot say anything about the discovery because there are images on the objects that contradict everything we have been told about our history and origin.

Cluster of UFOs over the US/Mexico Border filmed one day before Mexico’s Earthquake

On September 7, 2017, one day before the massive earthquake in Mexico a cluster of Unidentified Flying Objects has been filmed over the US/Mexico border.

It seems that these kind of objects appear when something is going to happen like back in 1997 when the big earthquake happened in Mexico City they were all over the skies for 3 days, then when the tsunami and earthquake hit in Japan, they were in the skies above Japan and when the big tornado hit Oklahoma a few years back, they were in the sky above that town!

According to the latest rumors, there are a lot of those objects in the sky right now above the California /Mexico border that would be the San Andreas Fault Line.

When reading the latest forecast earthquakes from Dutchsinse, then he expects the coming week large earthquakes near the West Coast USA and Japan. Let’s hope he’s wrong!!

Rendlesham UFO: Craft seen could have housed aliens says former MoD investigator

THE RENDLESHAM UFO, made infamous in 1980, could have been an alien craft from outer space according to an ex-Ministry of Defence investigator who did a cold case review of the mystery.

EGYPTISCHE SFINX DE PLEK WAAR BUITENAARDSEN LANDDEN  ( VIDEO )

Nadat we eerder deze week zagen hoe een oude medaillon uit Egypte duidelijkheid verschaft over buitenaardse bezoekers ver voor onze normale geschiedenis, komt er nu weer een belangrijke aanwijzing. 

Uit een duizenden jaren oud papyrusdocument in een museum in Caïro wordt duidelijk wat nu eigenlijk de bedoeling is van de mysterieuze sfinx van Gizeh. 

Het volgende is wat er staat in de Wikipedia over de bekende sfinx van Gizeh. 

De Sfinx van Gizeh is het grootste en bekendste beeld van een sfinx ter wereld. Het staat bij de drie grote piramiden in Gizeh met de rug naar de piramide van Chefren. Er bestaan nog veel onduidelijkheden over de sfinx, er zijn dan ook tal van theorieën over het ontstaan en de vorm. Ook zouden er nog ruimten onder de sfinx zijn, die nog niet zijn verkend. 

En vooral dat laatste is heel interessant, want wellicht zouden er dan verrassende zaken boven water komen. 

Dat papyrusdocument van duizenden jaren oud ziet als volgt uit en wij zijn vooral geïnteresseerd in het linksonder gemarkeerde gedeelte.

Dat deel wat verder uitvergrotend, onthult iets opmerkelijks. 

Duidelijk zichtbaar is de vorm van de bekende schotel met daarop een koepel, compleet met een driepotig landingsgestel wat je vaak ziet bij UFO’s. Die in dit geval geland lijkt te zijn op de rug van de sfinx.

Dit betekent ook gelijk dat er duidelijkheid komt over de rol van de sfinx. Het was zo te zien een soort platform waarop deze UFO’s landden en ongetwijfeld ook weer vertrokken. Een beetjes zoals wij nu terminals kennen op vliegvelden.

Er gaan ook verhalen dat er zich in het achterhoofd van de sfinx een deur zou bevinden, wat dan ook logisch zou zijn, want hierdoor zouden de aangekomen bemanning en passagiers in de terminalruimte onderin de sfinx terechtkomen. 

Ook op andere afbeeldingen uit de oudheid komt men de klassieke UFO-vorm tegen met driepotig landingsgestel, zoals te zien op de volgende grotschildering.

Ook in onze tegenwoordige tijd echter komen we dezelfde vorm UFO met driepotig landingsgestel tegen. 

Zoals bijvoorbeeld in het geval van de politieman Herbert Schirmer die op 3 december 1967 in de Amerikaanse staat Nebraska een ontmoeting had met een UFO en vervolgens erdoor werd meegenomen. 

EenUFO met hetzelfde soort landingsgestel zoals die die geland is op de rug van de sfinx in het oude Egypte.

Het bovenstaande is naar buiten gekomen via een bekend Youtube kanaal van een jongeman Tyler genaamd, die bekendstaat als Secureteam. Dit kanaal komt soms met opzienbarende en onthullende zaken, mede omdat hij inmiddels meer dan een miljoen abonnees heeft en mensen hem allerlei interessant materiaal opsturen. 

Uiteraard loop je dan ook aardig in de kijker bij overheden en dan vooral een bepaald deel daarvan, sinistere mannen in donkere pakken die dan ook Men in Black (MIB), worden genoemd. 

Wij willen iedereen aanraden om even de tijd te nemen om te kijken naar de volgende video die Tyler ongeveer een maand geleden maakte toen er dagenlang een vreemde auto naast zijn huis stond die hem met gierende banden achtervolgde toen hij op zijn motor wegreed. 

 

De volgende video is van nu, een maand later en opgenomen afgelopen donderdag in het ziekenhuis waar Tyler ligt met talloze gebroken botten na een motorongeluk. 

 

Hij zegt verder niets over hoe het ongeluk heeft kunnen gebeuren, maar gezien de gebeurtenissen rondom zijn huis de afgelopen maand, is het aannemelijk dat die Men in Black verantwoordelijk zijn voor het feit dat een jonge onderzoeker nu met gebroken botten in het ziekenhuis ligt. Hij belooft in de video dat zodra hij beter is terug aan het werk te zullen gaan.

UFO SCHEERT LANGS LUTHANSA TOESTEL ( VIDEO )

Steeds vaker zijn er berichten over UFO’s die zich heel dicht wagen in de buurt van passagiersvliegtuigen. 

Zo ook onlangs weer in Portugal waar een onbekend object met hoge snelheid langs een toestel van Lufthansa schoot. 

Regelmatig duiken er verhalen en beelden op van UFO’s die zich in de buurt wagen van vliegvelden en zich weinig schijnen aan te trekken van vertrekkende of landende vliegtuigen.

Zo waren er enkele maanden geleden een aantal incidenten rondom vliegvelden in Londen en nu is er er een opmerkelijk incident te melden vanuit Portugal. 

Op 30 juni 2017 waren er zoals gewoonlijk bij ieder groot vliegveld, ook een aantal spotters bij de internationale luchthaven van Lissabon. 

Eén van hen maakte een prachtige opname van een Lufthansa Airbus A340 vanaf zijn balkon. Maar, naast het vliegtuig verscheen er ook nog iets anders op de foto.

Het betrof hier een vliegtuig dat bezig was met de landing en de spotter nam diverse foto’s. Terwijl hij dat deed, zag hij opeens iets heel snel door de zoeker van de lens bewegen. 

Hij dacht er verder niet bij na en nam aan dat het een vogel of iets dergelijks was geweest, maar toen hij bezig was de foto’s op zijn computer te downloaden, zag hij een donkere vlek op één van de foto’s. 

Toen ontdekte hij dat het helemaal geen vogel was zoals hij eerst had gedacht. Ook is het geen drone, vanwege de grootte en de vorm, en ook is er geen enkele propeller of iets dergelijks te ontwaren. 

Hij gebruikte een sluitertijd van 1/2000 en de beweging van het object was heel snel, in een rechte lijn van oost naar west.

Daarnaast komen er nog meer spectaculaire beelden uit Portugal. 

De volgende video is opgenomen op 27 augustus en er zijn geen verdere gegevens bekend voor zover wij weten. 

Het is een bijzondere opname en het zou zomaar kunnen dat we ook hier weer te maken hebben met objecten die zich van de ene naar de andere dimensie verplaatsen. 

Het is een raadselachtige opname en degene die er een betere verklaring voor heeft, is welkom.

UFO BOVEN DUITSLAND VERDWIJNT SPONTAAN NAAR ANDERE DIMENSIE ( VIDEO )

Op 23 augustus 2017 rijdt iemand op een vrij stille weg in de buurt van het Duitse Siegenburg, niet ver van de stad München. 

Niet alleen neemt hij daar een bijzonder object in de lucht waar, maar ook iets dat met een soort lichtflits in het niets lijkt te verdwijnen. 

Mensen die hun ogen openhouden en regelmatig naar de lucht kijken, zien soms de meest merkwaardige dingen. 

Zoals een man in Duitsland die al langere tijd een vreemd donker object in de lucht zag hangen terwijl hij op de weg reed. Eigenlijk pas op het moment dat hij begon te filmen, verdween ook zo ongeveer het object. 

In eerste instantie zag het er een beetje uit als een soort vliegende driehoek, maar later werd de vorm duidelijker en zien we de bekende UFO vorm verschijnen.

Dan, plotsklaps, zie je als het ware een soort blauwe lichtflits waarbij vervolgens het object compleet in het niets verdwijnt.

Hier zien we waarschijnlijk een prachtig voorbeeld van hoe UFO’s van het ene moment op het andere onzichtbaar kunnen worden door te verdwijnen in andere dimensies (of misschien door gebruik van cloaking technology).

De getuige heeft de beelden opgestuurd naar SecureTeam die er vervolgens een video van hebben gemaakt, met hun analyse. 

Kijk en oordeel zelf of we hier inderdaad te maken hebben met een (buitenaards) object dat voor je ogen verdwijnt (in een andere dimensie).

Massive UFO Spotted in Squamish

The advancement of technology today has opened the idea that some alien sightings were the product of some high-tech software. This is exactly the reason why most of the sightings were debunked as a hoax. However, it would be unfair to ignore the sightings if there is a clear and substantial evidence to show. Recently, a massive orb spotted on a footage nearby the Stawamus Chief has enticed a documentary and research crew in London, Ont. Since most enthusiasts know that a massive orb is a prevalent figure as a UFO, what makes this a unique sighting among others?

Marcus McNabb and Rob Freeman have travelled to eleven countries and thirty cities in the past three years. Moreover, both were determined to record the happenings out there. Their hobbies were the result of being inspired by a childhood experience. Freeman is a senior field researcher working for the Centre for a Scientific Study of Atmospheric Anomalies. According to him, the sighting is the best footage they have recorded to date. He further added that among the footage he did in the past, this new one is such a fascinating path and most of the people have no idea what is happening in the world today.

Enticed by the footage, they initially started to make a documentary and McNabb describes the activity as a movement. To gather data, they both used a night imaging technology that is spanning the electromagnetic spectrum to witness both the visible and invisible. On July 22, the crew arrived in Squamish, and a stranger from Britannia Mine gift shop informs them that some extraordinary things are shining on the Chief trail. Later on, they entered into the forest. Soon after, a huge sphere of light was moving across the sky and descended in the woods. The crew first believed the object was an aeroplane, but later on, negates the idea since there is no sound.

Orbs can differ in size, known to blink a white or amber light when zipped off. According to MUFON, an organisation that collects data, the footage was an incredible footage. So far, the clearest orb video for this year.

Survey Status: Half of Americans Still Believe in Aliens

Is it just the people in the universe or does it seem like some are becoming into a conspiracy theorist these days? Spirit guides, aliens, and extraterrestrial spirits – These are the name of some mysterious pocket of eccentric or paranoia belief, and there is some massive online community devoted and dedicated to knowing and understanding it. According to the statistics, nearly half of the Americans still believe in aliens. In fact, it was evident that almost all people believe that aliens are visiting the earth due to the various sightings. Out of the figures, it was contended that at least 20% believes in alien abduction. More than 1700 Americans were surveyed by the 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. The latter commissioned the survey as a part of their promotional campaign for the release of the film entitled Phoenix Forgotten.

Phoenix Forgotten is a sci-fi thriller to set during a famous mass UFO sighting in Phoenix, Arizona in 1997 that is known as “The Phoenix Lights.” This phenomenon took place on March 13, 1997, which led them to introduce a new survey to determine where most Americans stand and how much is the rate of the people that believe in aliens. According to their survey, (47%) or nearly half believe in aliens, but only less than a fifth think they have ever seen an alien or a UFO themselves. For more interesting findings in this survey, 39% of respondents still believe that aliens have visited the Earth before. Even though many in the group still believe that aliens have visited Earth, only a few believe that aliens are abducting people. For accurate figures, approximately 18% of the group said they believe in alien abductions, 16.74% have seen one, and 27% knew someone who had.

Phoenix Forgotten shows aliens as a scary creature. Another found footage movie that premiered at the International UFO Congress in Phoenix, entitled The Phoenix Incident, was based on the Phoenix Lights event and portrayed this humanoid creature as a frightening monster. When people were asked if aliens have hostile or friendly intentions, only 9% said that they were hostile, but 25% believe aliens are friendly, and 66% stated that they were not sure.

Controversial UFO Enthusiast Goes on Trial for Child Pornography

Stanley “Stan” Romanek is a known author at the same time the most controversial UFO enthusiast. He was given the opportunity to speak at the International UFO Congress. Above all, he claims to have been abducted by the aliens, sustained mysterious injuries done by the aliens. He even shared his experienced telepathic communications with the aliens. According to him, it was in 2000 that he first encountered the aliens and he begins seeing and experiencing strange extraterrestrials and humanoid creatures since that time, including the mysterious wounds on his body and communicating with the aliens over a Ghost Box. Romanek says he came to suspect that such clothing belongs to Betty Hill, who happens to be a supposed abductee. But he claimed later on that the gown had not been tested for Hill’s DNA since the test was too expensive.Unfortunately, he has been unable to prove his alien-related claims.

The editor of the MUFON UFO Journal Dwight Connely has seen it as the best current case due to the presence of injuries and markings on his body, videos of strange phenomena, independent witnesses, and somewhat tough mathematical formulas which seem to be well beyond the ability of Romanek. However, Connelly says that this case should be viewed only as a potential long-term case that will be considered legit ten years later.

In 2015, he admitted his strange moves of faking the unusual movement of objects which took place during his interview at 2014 on the Peter Maxwell Slattery Show. On Aug. 8, 2017, Romanek was not guilty of distribution of child pornography but guilty of felony possession of child pornography. It was allegedly discovered on his laptop the lewd material. When interviewed by the investigators, Romankek admitted that he had those some files only on his computer but did not know how they ended up on his laptop. He brought up the theory that a strange person had planted the images on his laptop. Both spouses have claimed they have been subjected to threats and targeted by hackers because they have secret knowledge about the UFO existence. Romanek pleaded not guilty in March 2016. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for Oct. 19, 2017.

Best-Documented UFO Case: Canadas’s Falcon Lake Incident

As implausible as it may at first have seemed, the extraterrestrial phenomenon appears to be going mainstream today. According to the Canadian UFO Survey, approximately 1,131 reports were officially filed in 2016. Without a doubt, Canada also is considered a hotspot for UFOs. Among the sightings, the Falcon Lake incident has been considered as the best documented alien case so far even if it occurred 50 years ago.

Stan Michalak, who was nine years old at that time, recalls an incident that took place in the Falcon Lake in Manitoba on the weekend of 1967 when his dad came home injured and ill.He described his father as pale and haggard. When he walked into the bedroom, he smelt a huge stink like a real horrible aroma of burnt motor and sulphur. His father named Stefan Michalak was working as an industrial mechanic at the same time an amateur geologist who liked to explore the wilderness around Falcon Lake. On May 20, 1967, the 51-year-old Stefan was near a vein of quartz when he was startled by a gaggle of geese that erupted in a clattering of honks. According to his accounts, he looked up and saw two cigar-shaped objects with a reddish glow soaring about 45 metres away.

One descended to land on a flat section of rock, while the other remained in the air for a few minutes before it flew off. He also noticed a door open with bright lights inside and heard voices by the sounds from the spacecraft. When he touched the craft, the glove’s fingertips were melted. He was then injured, disoriented, and nauseous. He was then treated for burns to his stomach and chest that later turned into raised sores on a grid-like pattern. Stan Michalak said that if his dad has hoaxed the encounter, remember that the latter was talking about a blue-collar, industrial mechanic, which is hard to perceive in a typical person.

The Mysterious Story Behind Tomb Of Senemut

The star map was discovered more than eighty years ago. It represents the major part of the tomb’s decoration. On its inner part, there’s a sketch of the tomb owner which was later identified as Senenmut or Senemut. The latter was the steward of Amun, and he was also one of the most influential courtiers during the reign of the female Pharaoh Hatshepsut. Senenmut supervised the transport, quarrying, and erection of twin obelisks. The unique characteristic of the ceiling is its false orientation of the South panel. The panel’s center is occupied by the Orion-Sirius group, in which instead of being in the East, Orion appears to the west of Sirius.

The most popular orientation of the South panel is the direction of the person lying in the tomb, facing the vault. Such person must look north by raising his head, and not towards the South. The reversed orientation of the Southern panel appears to be moving eastward. Of course, in a wrong direction. Immanuel Velikovsky has made an interpretation in his book called Worlds In Collision. According to him, the South panel represents the sky before the East and West, North, and South, interchange their Positions in the celestial sphere after a cataclysmic event.

He concluded that a celestial upheaval, which is responsible for this astronomical anomaly is false. The builders have made humans believed that the great catastrophe that occurred 12000 years ago was due to a change in the ecliptic plane inclination of only 6 °, sufficient to cause a chain reaction Cataclysmic on our planet. With the details transmitted by the Builders, we can then provide a simpler and more rational explanation for this astronomical anomaly about the tomb of Senmut.

At some point, there have been distorted, and disuse of the information, but the essence of its history will never cease to exist.

World’s Best Places to Witness A UFO

No one knows what UFO is all about. Over the years, extraterrestrials have been dismissed as weather patterns, migratory birds, or commercial aircraft. To date, governments and authorities have not produced any groundbreaking information, but there is a list of hot spots which gives you the chance of experiencing a close encounter with a UFO.

1. Area 51, Nevada, USA

There are millions of people who claimed to have seen strange objects flying over Area 51. Although there is no official backing to such statements, many people speculate that it might be an army or commanding area of aliens. The secrecy behind it has whetted curiosity of millions and to extinguish their curiosity; they keep browsing through the internet to get News and Updates.

2. The Nullabor, Australia

Since the 1950s, this remote area has been a hotspot for UFO sightings. Many travelers claim to have been chased by humanoid creatures while driving down the empty roads.

3. The Molybka Triangle, Russia

This place is a hot spot of alien activity in Russia for over 100 years. Almost all locals in the area admitted seeing strange lights and symbols in the sky.

4. Roswell, New Mexico, USA

Roswell is famous for an alien incident that took place in 1947. William Brazel and his son claimed to have seen a bright light and a wreckage close to where they were working. Although he did not tell anyone, except his superior, the locals seemed to know about it and continued to search the answer for years.

5. Warminster, England

The Salisbury Plain is a home to the strange stone circles of Avebury, attracting alien fanatics who flocked around the globe to view the skies. In recent years, the crop circles have also been seen nearby.

6. El Enladrillado, Chile

The country’s tourist board has created the first alien trail after tons of extraterrestrial sightings was seen in 2008. The place is alleged to be a landing path for alien spaceships.

7. Wycliffe Well, Australia

Wycliffe Well is a self-proclaimed extraterrestrial capital of Australia. It has been a hotbed of alien activity since WWII. Locals admitted seeing lights in the sky frequently.

8. Bonnybridge, Scotland

This area is apparently an alien hot spot because approximately 300 sightings and encounters have been reported each year.
The only thing that connects these encounters is that these objects remain to be unidentified.

The Mystery Of A Massive 5,000-Year-Old Cochno Stone

The ancient Cochno Stone in Scotland has around 90 intricate spirals, and some authors believe it represents an ancient cosmic map. The discovery of the 5,000-year-old mysterious stone in 1887 has been considered as one of the greatest discoveries in archaeology.

Regarded as one of the most impressive sets of petroglyphs, many researchers believe they represent a cosmic map that provides details of planets and stars. Rev. James Harvey discovered it in 1887, and in 1965, archeologist Ludovic Maclellan Mann buried the massive slab to protect it from damage and prevent people from vandalizing into it.

Archaeologists still can’t tell what is correctly indicated on the large piece. The complex symbols could be a map of the sky or the earth, or perhaps an altar where rituals were held.

Some suggest the slab is a portal of life and death and symbolizes rebirth.

Others theorize that the intricate drawings of rings, lines, and domes are an old expression of rock art that has been discovered in many other parts of the world.

Researcher Alexander McCallum proposed that it is a map depicting other settlements in the Clyde Valley.

The unusual markings are often linked to crop circles that are known to be the works of alien civilizations. Other similar slabs have been interestingly found in the north of Spain, Greece, Mexico and even in India.

There have been hundreds of other proposed explanations to the intricate drawings, including border boundary signs, common symbols, cosmos representation, and among others, but the mystery remains until today as to what messages the stone contains.

Experts are planning to digitally map the stone to shed more light on its history, purpose and the one who created it around 5,000 years ago.

American Government Has Knowledge About UFOs and Aliens, Dying CIA Agent Reveals

Conspiracy theorists believe there’s truth about UFOs and extraterrestrial life that has been hidden from the public. Aerial observations involving alleged UFOs and alien life have been reported for many decades. Some can be attributed to astronomical phenomena, such as bright meteors, comets, or the five planets that are visible to the naked eye. Others can also be explained as Parhelia and Lenticular clouds.

Scientists Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking agree that it would be impossible for life not to exist outside planet Earth. The Copernican principle states that Earth does not occupy a unique position in the Universe. Mediocrity principle additionally states that there’s nothing special about life on Earth.

Scientists believe life may have started shortly after the Big Bang more than 13.8 billion years ago when the Universe was only 10-17 million years old. It is scientifically accepted that life may have emerged independently in many places of the Universe. Scientists also theorize that life was spread via asteroids, meteoroids, and other small solar system bodies.

Scientists have promoted the idea of “habitable zones” since the 1950s. The habitable zones are places where life likely exists. The search for these habitable zones leads to the discovery of Earth-like planets. On November 4, 2013, astronomers revealed that there could be as many as 40 billion Earth-sized planets that exist in the Universe. The data was gathered through the Kepler space mission. Astronomers estimated that among the Earth-sized planets that exist, 11 billion of them might be orbiting Sun-like stars. According to scientists, the nearest of such planet may be 12 light years away.

Russians Knew About the Existence Of Aliens in 1969

The theory that Russia has known about extraterrestrial civilizations for many years probably sounds familiar. It could be the most legendary story involving a space UFO crash and the subsequent autopsy of its ET crew. Those incidents reportedly took place in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. Official explanations said that it was a secret military spy balloon that came down.

Nearly the same alleged incident involved the Soviet Union; wherein a UFO had crashed close to the former District of Sverdlovsk in 1969.

The Soviet UFO-autopsy story is not new, but the Russian event is all of a sudden getting more media attention. The TNT special titled “The Secret KGB UFO Files,” hosted by Roger Moore, released in 1998 features UFO crash and alien autopsy. Some UFO researchers said that this story is simply a hoax.

Interestingly, The Voice of Russia circulated this the same story again recently. The radio network currently broadcasts in 160 countries to 109 million listeners and is one of the top radio broadcasters worldwide.

The Voice of Russia also included references to reports of UFO crash or a UFO being shot down near Prohlandnyi City on August 10, 1989. The latest story also involved alien bodies.

Earlier, Pravda.ru, the Russian internet newspaper, reported that a group of scientists had been in contact with space aliens.

According to the report, former Ministry of Defense official Alexey Savin told journalists that a group of researchers connected to the Expert Management Unit of General Staff were able to make contact with representatives of ET civilization.

John Lennon’s UFO Sighting Over A Decade Ago

August 23 marks the 42nd year of the very famous Lennon UFO sighting. Beatles member John Lennon was with May Pang in the balcony to smell some fresh air together when the couple saw a flying saucer traveling over the East river in New York.

The megastar music artist claimed that it turned right at the U.N. building, maneuvered left, and then down the river. Mr. Lennon reiterated that the odd looking flying object supported a dome shape. He was certain that the strange thing wasn’t a helicopter.

It turned out to be true as it had a profound impact on Lennon’s life. In his later album, Walls and Bridges, he referenced it – proof that it was a strange incident that really took place.

Miss Pang supported the claim saying that they called the police and the New York Daily News after the sighting ended to report the weird incident. They were the reportedly told that seven other reports were claiming to have observed the UFO.

While the couple managed to take pictures, it turned out to be over exposed. In a book that tells her life with John Lennon, Miss Pang stated that they often had helicopters flying over them, but this was as silent as the night and about seventeen.

John Lennon is one of the famous personalities who had encounters with UFOs.

Physicist Confirms Bob Lazar Worked At Los Alamos

Bob Lazar is popularly known for his claims of working on top secret engineering related to extraterrestrial spacecraft at Area 51, which made the mysterious facility famous. Government and military officials have denied Lazar’s claims. In a recent interview, however, a documentary filmmaker shared statements from a physicist who worked at Los Alamos National Laboratories, saying he has met the UFO whistleblower at Los Alamos, and can provide proof he was employed as a physicist.

Lazar first started providing information to the public through the media about his alleged job on alien spacecraft engineering in the late 1980s. According to him, he worked at an underground lab known as S-4, located south of the main Area 51 facility.

He first came out in interviews with investigative journalist George Knapp on the Las Vegas CBS affiliate, KLAS News, under a pseudonym with his face in the dark. Lazar eventually allowed himself to be filmed with his real identity. Adding to the mystery was the reality that the U.S. government denied the very existence of Area 51 at that time.

Lazar claims he was axed from his job for sharing information about his top secret work, and his employment records as a scientist, as well as his education details, were erased. Researchers couldn’t find any records supporting the claims of Lazar about his degrees at Caltech and MIT. They also couldn’t find anyone who remembered going to school with Lazar.

This was one of the issues discussed on Sunday night on the famous Coast to Coast AM syndicated paranormal show, hosted by Knapp with documentary filmmaker Jeremy Corbell as a guest.

Knapp says that he can look past the education issue, and the most important to him is to know whether or not Lazar did work at Los Alamos National Lab. Knapp explains that if Lazar worked there in a technical or scientific position, and he had security clearances, then that could justify the idea that he would be hired at Area 51.

Knapp says that he confirmed in his investigations that Lazar did work at Los Alamos. He states that he found Lazar’s name in a Los Alamos phone book. Moreover, Knapp says that he further recovered a newspaper article with Lazar on the front page and saw a picture of him saying he is a physicist out there.

Meanwhile, many remains skeptical as the phone book doesn’t list Lazar’s capacity at Los Alamos, and newspapers are deemed to be easily fooled.

However, Corbell claims he was able to find a witness who is willing to go on the record. Corbell says he used a “bot” that could run automated tasks over the internet in researching Lazar’s claims. He used this software to search Facebook for keywords and found a comment on a group from someone who said his neighbor claimed to have worked with Lazar.

Corbell says he got in contact with the man, who eventually helped him to get in touch with the neighbor. Corbell confirmed this neighbor did work at Los Alamos and asked this man if he would be willing to go public and he said yes.

Corbell shared some audio clips of an interview with Dr. Robert Krangle, where the physicist says that he was employed on and off as a contractor for Los Alamos in the 80s and still does occasionally. Krangle explains he was part of a design project or ancillary engineering. He claims to have graduated from MIT in 1973 with a degree in semiconductor physics.

Corbell says he has discovered an article that listed credentials of Krangle, who also showed IDs as evidence he worked at other facilities, performing high-tech work, including Kirtland Air Force Base, China Lake, Los Alamos, Manzano weapons storage facility, and Sandia.

When Corbell asked Krangle if he knew Lazar as a physicist at Los Alamos, Krangle answers he was certain. He says they recognize each other as they both worked as a scientist. Krangle goes on to say that he attended security meetings with Lazar, where they were brief not to talk about what they are doing or seeing.

Krangle says Lazar committed professional suicide, and he understood the reason Lazar’s employers were so upset with him because he broke from the fold and talked about it.

Knapp asked Corbell the reason Krangle shared this information if he knew he could get into a big trouble. Corbell answers that Krangle no longer makes a living off of his Los Alamos contracts.

Secret Artist Immortalises UFO Sightings In Wiltshire With A Mural

A mural immortalises the sightings of a mysterious object in the skies of Wiltshire 50 years ago. Known as “The Warminster Thing,” the UFO sighting reports came from several people who heard strange sounds and spotted objects in the dark sky in 1965.

Warminster Information Centre organised the unique and memorable event, highlighted by the mural made by a “secret” artist. The information centre placed the artwork on the old police station wall.

George Rich of Warminster Information Centre said the mural has been getting a lot of attention where people are already taking several pictures.

Rich said that they’re happy with the development with photos of the painting now all over Facebook.

Leslie Blain, who is also connected with the information centre, said that it took them eight months to plan and organise the mural.

Blain said that it’s a secret as to who did the painting but it’s not done yet, so it is possible to catch him in action.

Blain revealed that the unknown artist will add some other elements, including the glow-in-the-dark paint. So, the wall will heat up over the day when it’s sunny and the picture will glow at night time, Blain explained.

National and local newspapers have featured photographs of flying saucers in Warminster, providing the town much publicity.

UFO activity over Liskeard, UK 30-Aug-2017

This UFO sighting report was just submitted to us. This happened on 30th August 2017 over Liskeard in Cornwall, UK.

Witness report: 

THIS IS A MESSAGE THAT I SENT IN TO RADIO CORNWALL YESTERDAY MORNING .
I WILL BE AT AN ART EXHIBITION ALL DAY TODAY AND TOMORROW  BUT IF YOU NEED TO RING MY MOBILE IS 07790893175 CHEERS , ALAN
I would love to know if anyone else in Cornwall saw something strange in the sky yesterday evening 30 th August around 5 to 6pm ?
We were eating tea outside and the sky was so dramatic I decided to do a time lapse film of the clouds .
I filmed for over a hour of the same bit of sky on full zoom as I just wanted the clouds in the film and not the trees in the foreground .
On playback I noticed two dark shapes which were not moving , this was even more noticeable as the clouds were moving fast in time lapse.
At first I assumed it was something on the lens or a fault with the camera.
But it only happened on a certain part of the sky and at one point they dissapeared behind a small cloud .
The clip unfortunately is only very brief and is of very poor quality as I had it on full zoom .
As soon as I saw the footage ( which is not the best in the world I may add) I went back out with binoculars and filmed the same area of sky again, but cloud had covered the area of sky where I filmed before , but at one point the sky cleared for a few seconds and I could see something there through the binoculars, this unfortunately was only very brief , and not wanting to lose the area of sky in my view I quickly phoned my good lady Mags to bring out my other camera which has a better zoom . By this time it had clouded in again and there was no sky to see.
Here is a very poor image of what was hovering dead still for well over 25 mins ( may have been much longer) the view is from liskeard looking towards the polperro coast .
I would love to know if anyone else was looking at the clouds and spotted something .
You can see the one on the left looks a reddish colour and the dark one on the right has the sun reflected on the right side .
These were totally dead still with no move that all.

Veteran British UFO Investigator Recounts The Best UFO Account He Has Come Across

Three very tall men in silver suits were reportedly standing beside a flying saucer on the ground. A mother and six children provided the same account of the incident when UFO investigators interviewed them. Veteran British UFO researcher Philip Mantle did his most memorable investigation before calling it a journey from the UFO conference scene. Mr Mantle investigated such rare account with his colleague Mark Birdsall of Yorkshire UFO Society.

The UFO researcher said he was told that the mother’s eight-year-old daughter ran into the house shouting, crying and telling her to come and look an aeroplane that has just landed in the field. The child apparently saw an object on the ground in the areas adjacent to her house.

According to the accounts, the object was dull grey colour and looked like a Mexican hat. Strange enough, three very tall men stood around the object, and all of them appeared to be in silver suits, the report said. Mr Mantled added that these men seemed to be pointing to a dark instrument on the ground. The witnesses described it as a torch-like thing without light.

Mr Mantle stated that the suits were metallic silver, which would crease when the tall men moved.

The witnesses said that the men went to the rear of the mysterious thing, which then rose vertically, stopped in mid-air before it shot off at an angle at an incredible speed. They reportedly never heard a sound coming from the object the entire time.

All six children of Joyce Westerman related similar accounts to them, Mr Mantle stated. The events took place in early summer 1979.

Mr Mantle considered this one as the best UFO case he has come across down the years. He will also recount other UFO cases on September 9 at the Outer Limits Magazine UFO Conference in Hull.

The Remarkable Knowles Family UFO Encounter Incident in Mundrabilla, Australia

In 1988 the Knowles family claimed they encountered and were actively chased in their car by a UFO on the Australian Nullarbor Plain.

The Knowles family and their two pet dogs had a UFO encounter on whilst travelling across the Nullarbor Plain in the early hours of the morning. The family described how a UFO shot over their car and lifted it from the road below them.

They described how their voices changed in pitch, the family dog in the car went crazy, and the car started shaking. Australian news outlets declared the bizarre incident a UFO encounter and reported that the car was covered by strange dust.

This video footage of news outlets discussing and interviewing the family contains amazing testimony on a bizarre and rarely talked about UFO encounter.
