UFOs appear over Paducah, Kentuckey on 15th January 2014

Interesting video footage of multiple UFO lights forming a triangle – shaped formation in the daytime sky above Paducah, Kentuckey on 15th January 2014.

Witness said:
Can anyone explain this or seen this? Weve thought about a few things, wind not blowing hard, their were 6 n only 2 lost altitude, n they flew at least a mile n we lost sight of them, no noise from them at all. This video was taped on January 15 2014 at around 4:30 in western Kentuckey bout 10 miles south of Paducah.

UFOs recorded over Bermuda Triangle from a Cruise Ship on 2nd October 2009

UFO sightings 2009 – Video footage of two bright UFO lights recorded while hovering in the sky above Bermuda Triangle recorded from a Cruise Ship on 2nd October 2009.

Witness said:
Filmed these early evening on Oct. 2, 2009 while in the Bermuda Triangle with one other witness. The ship was headed to Nassau, Bahamas. You can’t tell by this video, but these objects were very large and VERY bright. There was a third witness confirmed later.

Triangle – shaped UFO sighting over Hollywood, California on 8th January 2014

New amazing video footage of a triangle – shaped UFO sighting recorded in the night sky above Hollywood, California on 8th January 2014.

Witness said:
I recorded this the other day, but didn’t realize it was so odd until reviewing the footage later. SO – it’s a UFO until someone can provide the make/model aircraft it is!  I’m not saying it’s aliens, but….. it’s government (pretty sure). Hence the flashing lights and the not-getting-shot-down-by-our-guys.

I’ve seen and filmed this same exact type of craft NUMEROUS times in Tucson, AZ.

Are Extraterrestrial Races living with us on Earth?

They live and work in your town. In fact, they may be members of your country’s government. But they’re not who, or what, they appear to be. We’ll unseal the truth about these aliens among us and tell you who has come in peace…and who has a far more sinister purpose in mind.

Is this plant INTELLIGENT? Tropical fern found to 'learn and remember' despite having no brain

• Scientists from the University of Western Australia found Mimosa pudica plants can learn and remember as well as some animals
• Fern responds to touch and curls up to protect itself from predators
• But eventually 'learned' not to curl up when rain drops landed on it
  
• Researchers aren't certain why the plants are able to do so, but think it might be down to a calcium-based signally network in their cells
• Study suggests experience teaches plants to learn details to survive

Marvellous memories are often attributed to elephants, but scientists have discovered that plants can also learn and remember – even though they do not have a brain.

Scientists claim fern-like plants that respond to touch have learned that water droplets are not harmful and remember the finding weeks afterwards.

Their research suggests that experience teaches plants to learn details to survive and could lead to scientists viewing flora in a new way.

 

Scientists claim fern-like plants Mimosa pundica (pictured) that respond to touch, learned that water droplets are not harmful in an experiment and remember the lesson for weeks afterwards

The researchers studied Mimosa pudica, which folds inwards when touched to protect itself from predators.

The University of Western Australia study, which also involved Professor Stefano Mancuso at the University of Florence in Italy, found the action is not simply a reflex.

They examined the species’ short and long-term memories under both high and low light environments by repeatedly dropping water on the plants using a custom-designed apparatus to look at their response.

The strange fauna stopped curling up once it learned that the water was not a threat to its survival and no damage was done, according to the study, which was published in the journal Oecologia.

Mimosa plants were able to acquire the learnt behaviour in a matter of seconds and as in animals, learning was faster in low light. 

‘Most remarkably, these plants were able  to remember what had been learned for several weeks, even after  environmental conditions had changed,' the researchers said.

The study shows that Mimosa pudica plants can learn and remember just as well as it would be expected of animals, but of course, they do it all without a brain.

The study shows that Mimosa pudica plants can learn and remember just as well as it would be expected of animals, but of course, they do it all without a brain. The findings may make some think of J.R.R. Tolkien's 'Ents' in Lord of the Rings (pictured) that are trees that can think and talk

While the scientists are unsure who  the plant learns and remembers, they think it might be down to a  calcium-based signally network in its cells, which are in some ways  similar to animals’ memory process.

The research radically changes the way humans perceive plants and the  boundaries between plants and animals, including our definition of  learning as a property special to organisms with a nervous system, the  scientists said.

Dr Monica Gagliano, an Australian Research Council research fellow at the university’s Centre for Evolutionary Biology, who led the study, only recently published a paper that claims plants can ‘talk’ using sounds.

The research at the university suggests that plants have abilities widely used by animals and seen in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, where  fictional Ents -  a race of beings which resemble trees that are ancient shepherds of the forest - are able to think and talk.

PLANTS TALK TO EACH OTHER TO WARN OF PREDATORS, SCIENTIST CLAIMS

Chatterboxes: It is claimed sagebrush plants (pictured) send chemical messages through the air

A previous study in 2009 found that members of the vegetable kingdom can communicate with each other.

They are 'capable of more sophisticated behaviour than we imagined,' says American bug expert Professor Richard Karban.

His work, which he admits is 'controversial', suggested that plants converse by sending chemical messages through the air, warning of hungry predators.

When a neighbouring plant 'hears' the message, it boosts its defences against grasshoppers, caterpillars and other invaders, he believes.

Professor Karban, of the University of California, claimed to have proved that conversations happen between sagebrush bushes - hardy, yellow-flowered shrubs native to the western U.S.

Using scissors, he clipped away at leaves and stems of potted shrubs, damaging them in the same way as a grasshopper would.

He then planted some damaged and undamaged plants in a field and measured levels of predation on their neighbours.

The leaves of the plants with clipped neighbours suffered the least grasshopper damage, according to the journal Ecology Letters.

Filer's Files Archives

The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The weekly intelligence report provides you with information on the latest sightings and UFO news that you need to understand the world situation.

In special reports, this week’s files cover: Golden Sphere two Meters from Space Station, ISS Followed by UFO Cross, Cosmonaut Kovalyonok Saw UFO, US is losing its technological edge,

Life on Other Planets Widespread, Lt. Col.  Philip Corso Saw an Alien, and Navy Flight Encounters Gigantic UFO.

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: Arizona, Alaska, California, Colorado, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

Sightings of UFOs were also reported in: Australia, Canada, China, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Republic of Ireland, South Korea, and England in the United Kingdom.

The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force. Under Project Blue Book, the US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years; and we continue this research.

 I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO's are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Special Reports

Golden Sphere two Meters from Space Station

Eyewitness: Scott C. Waring states, “I was taking a look at the International Space Station (ISS) on January 7, 2014, when I began to listen to some of their conversation to see what they were talking about. As I was listening, I saw this golden orb about a meter or less hovering about 2 meters from the walls of the space station. As I watched the solar panels behind it were moving and we could clearly see the orb was between the camera and the solar panels. As the solar panels moved away from the orb...meaning the orb now had a blue background so it stood out more...suddenly NASA cut to blue screen. But I did notice just 5 seconds before they cut to blue screen that the camera was begging to pan out...making the orb seem to move further away. Did they see the orb and cut the video? I can vouch for its authenticity.”

ISS Followed by UFO Cross

NASA live cam: On January 10, 2024, I spotted a gold UFO again that is likely the same one I reported on yesterday, it has just changed its shape a bit. It is probably following and monitoring the space station for a few days. I have observed the ISS cam for over two years now and have never in that time seen this anomaly. When the sun is at a certain angle to the darkness it becomes revealed for about 8-10 minutes. Keep an eye on the cam and you may catch it again. SCW Thanks to UFOsightingsdaily.com

 Cosmonaut General Vladimir Kovalyonok Saw UFO

Many cosmonauts have seen phenomena which are far beyond the experiences of earthmen.  Cosmonaut Major General Kovalyonok states, “My encounter was on May 5, 1981, at about 6 PM, during the Saljut Mission over South Africa, moving towards the Indian ocean. I saw in front of me, through a porthole, an object which I could not explain. It is impossible to determine distances in Space. A small object can appear large and far away and the other way around. Anyway, I saw this object and then something happened that I could not explain something impossible according to the laws of Physics. The object had an elliptical and flew with us. From a frontal view it looked like it would rotate in flight direction.”

 It only flew straight, but then a kind of explosion happened, very beautiful to watch, of golden light. This was the first part. Then, one or two seconds later, a second explosion followed somewhere else and two spheres appeared, golden and very beautiful. After this explosion I just saw white smoke, then a cloud-like sphere. Before we entered the darkness, we flew through the terminator, the twilight-zone between day and night. We flew eastwards, and when we entered the darkness of the Earth shadow, I could not see them any longer. The two spheres never returned.

US is losing its technological edge

America is losing its technological edge thanks to repeated rounds of defense cuts, said senior House leaders this week. The  joint statement—issued by House Armed Services Committee Chairman Rep. Buck McKeon [R-Calif.], HASC sea power and projection forces panel chairman Rep. Randy
Forbes [R-Va.], and HASC strategic forces panel chair Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.)—follows a revelation by the  Washington Free Beacon that China has completed the first flight test of a new  hypersonic glide vehicle, which could be used to deliver warheads past missile defenses at hypersonic speeds. The test of the weapon, dubbed the WU-14, took place on Jan. 9, and officials state the space vehicle is constructed to be deployed on top of a Chinese intercontinental ballistic missile, then to glide and maneuver at hypersonic speeds (over Mach 5 or greater than 6,000 miles per hour) to its target. The Pentagon has confirmed the test occurred, but did not offer comment on the specifics, according to the Free Beacon. "The Chinese and other competitor nations [are pushing toward] military parity with the United States; in some cases, as in this one, they appear to be leaping ahead of us," states the Jan. 13 joint statement. They added, "The Asia Pacific is fast becoming a powder keg. Allowing nations that do not share our respect for free and open avenues of commerce to gain a strategic advantage over the United States and her allies only brings us closer to lighting the fuse."

Life on Other Planets Widespread

Earth-sized planets can support life at least ten times further away from stars than previously thought, according to academics at the University of Aberdeen.  Planetary and Space Science claims cold rocky planets previously considered uninhabitable may actually be able to support life beneath the surface. The team from the University of St Andrews, challenge the traditional ‘habitable zone’ – i.e. the area of space around a star, or sun, which can support life – by taking into consideration life living deep below the ground.

“The traditional habitable zone is also known as the Goldilocks zone, “A planet needs to be not too close to its sun but also not too far away for liquid water to persist, rather than boiling or freezing, on the surface.  http://phys.org/news/2014-01-life-planets-widespread.html

Killer Asteroids

In the early 1960s, the Air Force had tried to develop an infrared satellite system known as MIDAS to detect the hot exhaust of Soviet ICBMs and provide warning that the United States was under attack. The system was to consist of a constellation of satellites in low earth orbit. One or more satellites would always be in view of Soviet ICBM launch sites. The military is set up to spot and catalog near Earth objects (NEOs) in space and should keep track of them as a service to humankind, says Air Force Brig. Gen. Simon P. Worden, deputy director of operations at U.S. Space Command.

That's because the same equipment that watches space for terrestrial threats like missiles could cover extraterrestrial bogies at relatively small extra cost. Worden cautions the U.S. Aerospace Commission that the problem isn't limited to extinction-level events. An asteroid as small as 100 meters in diameter could release enough energy to devastate a wide area below even if it never hits the surface, while a sea strike could inundate coastal areas.  Satellites are vulnerable to fast-moving objects as small as the dust particles left over from comets, and a bright meteor could spoof missile warning sensors with grave consequences in a tense international crisis."  He could just as well be talking about UFOs.  We have tried several times to get the attention of agencies like NORAD about using the data that the systems have been taking for years even though the data isn't related to the primary mission.  Astronomers have spotted the first new asteroid of 2014 — a car-size space rock that apparently slammed harmlessly into Earth's atmosphere off the coast of West Africa about 9 p.m. EST) on Jan. 1, 2014 " -

 Navy Flight Encounters Gigantic UFO 

 It had happened in 1956. Cruising at 19,000 feet, a Navy R7V-2 transport - a four-engine Super-Constellation - was flying west across the Atlantic Ocean from Iceland.
The next stop was Gander, Newfoundland enroute to Pawtuxet, Maryland.

The night was clear and in the senior pilot's seat, Commander George Benton was checking the dim-lit instruments. At thirty-four, Benton had made the Atlantic crossing more than two hundred times. Back sleeping in the cabin were two extra Navy air crews, en route home from foreign duty.

Commander Benton and Lieutenant Graham Bethune, copilot leaned forward, puzzled. A few minutes before, the sea below had been dark. Now there was a cluster of lights, like a village, about twenty-five miles ahead below the horizon.   "What do you make of those lights?""Looks like a small town!"

"That's what I thought." Benton quickly called the navigator, Lieutenant Alfred C. Erdman. "We must be way off course.
There's land down there." "It can't be land." Erdman hurried forward from his map table.  "Well?" said Benton. "They must be ships," said Erdman. "They don't look like ships," said Benton. If they were ships, they were keeping radio silence. "Wake up those other crews, maybe somebody can dope it out." In a few moments, three airmen crowded into the cockpit.
Benton banked to give them and the men in the cabin a better view. As the transport began to circle, the strange lights abruptly dimmed and then several colored rings appeared, began to spread out. One, Benton noticed, seemed to be growing in size.

That luminous ring wasn't on the surface - it was something rushing up toward the transport. Benton rolled the Constellation out of its turn to start a full-power climb. Then he saw it was useless as the luminous ring caught them.
This huge flying object shown above may have been an ascending from underwater base similar to those photographed on the Moon.

The glow came from the rim of a large, round object. It reached their altitude, and swiftly took the shape of a giant disc-shaped machine.

Dwarfing the Constellation, it raced in toward them. "It's going to hit us!" said Erdman as they waited for the crash. The disc tilted reducing its speed sharply and angled on past the port wing of the aircraft and was drawing abreast, pacing them at about one hundred yards. Its diameter was nearly 500 feet, three to four times the Constellation's wing span and at least thirty feet thick, like a gigantic dish inverted on top of another.

Seen at this distance, the glow along the rim was blurred but bright enough to show the disc's curving reflecting metal surface. Gradually, the strange machine pulled ahead and quickly accelerated and was lost. Commander Benton called Gander Airport and asked. "You show any other traffic out here?" he asked the tower. "We had something on the scope near you," Gander told him. "We saw it was no aircraft." Benton gave the tower a concise report, and Gander teletype messages were rushed to the U.S. Air Defense Command, Eastern Sea Frontier, the Director of Air Force Intelligence and the Air Technical Intelligence Center.

When they landed at Gander, Air Force intelligence officers debriefed the crew. From the start, it was plain they accepted the giant disc sighting as fact. For two hours, the crew was carefully debriefed separately and together:
The flying disc was between 350 to 500 feet in diameter, and apparently metallic. Time for the giant disc to climb to the transport's altitude, between five and eight seconds, indicated speed between 1,400 and 2,200 knots; the disc had accelerated above this speed on departure.

"No, but it was intelligently controlled, that's certain. Benton looked at him closely. "That size, it would hardly be remote-controlled, would it?" "I couldn't say," replied the Air Force man.

Five days later, Commander Benton met with a scientist from a high government  agency who showed him some UFO photographs.

"Was it like any of these?" At the third picture, Benton stopped him. "He looked sharply at the scientist; somebody must know the answers, if you've got photographs of the things?"

The other man took the pictures. "I'm sorry, Commander." He closed his dispatch case and left. Thanks to Donald Keyhoe National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena. http://www.UFOcasebook.com/navy1956.html

Note: This Google Earth image on the left appears to show an underwater base.
While this photo right shows a similar base on the Moon. If a base can be placed on the moon with little atmosphere; bases can also be placed underwater on Earth. One of the main missions of intelligent alien life appears to be the mining of minerals and the obtaining of food and water. When I investigated the Gulf Breeze sightings several witnesses saw the craft coming out and entering the Gulf of Mexico. Numerous Navy personnel have also reported high speed underwater USOs craft.

Lt. Col.  Philip Corso Saw an Alien

Dawn of a New Age’ ‘the original notes of U.S. Army Colonel Philip J. Corso- are available at http://www.openminds.tv.
We can now get to the core of the classified activities and research on the Roswell files examined by Corso at the Pentagon between 1961 and 1963.

Philip J. Corso, Sr. died in July of 1998 at the age of 83. Thirteen years after his death, we will finally get to see his manuscript, which has never released in the US [the only foreign edition was published in Italy by Pendragon in 2003]. People interested in UFOs will be
compelled to read this book, because too much of the information in the bestseller ‘The Day After Roswell’ does not stand up to what Corso really wrote in his diary. Philip Corso Jr., a man devoted to fulfill his father’s legacy, described the manuscript in his lecture at the 2007 IUFOC in Laughlin.

“Dawn Of A New Age” I had no intentions to put out this book. This one here [holding a book] is all in my dad’s original notes without Hollywood involved and is what the people really wanted. They don’t want it edited. But it reads like a textbook, in other words. It’s a manual and much more believable

Corso had help in writing ‘The Day After Roswell’ book but Dad did not proofread it. When, Dad went through ‘The Day After Roswell, book ‘he was upset, it was a yellow lining everything that he didn’t say and didn’t like.
He got half way through it and quit because it was impossible. He had almost every page blacked out’ my dad was really very upset about the
book’.

Executing General Arthur Trudeau’s orders at the Pentagon, Corso handled technical data and some mysterious components derived from the alien craft that crashed in Roswell, New Mexico, in early July 1947. Corso had also seen medical reports of the autopsies performed on the bodies retrieved at the incident site.

According to Corso, they determined that the craft was a biological spaceship, functioning in conjunction with a crew of EBE’s (Extraterrestrial Biological Entities). They were biological robots created through advanced genetic engineering, clones designed to withstand the extreme conditions of space travel. These EBE’s were able to drive their starship through a particular neural interface, whereby they could connect with the craft, becoming an almost integrated part of it.

Working under Lt. General Trudeau; Corso was responsible for handing parcels of alien technology to several industrial contractors connected to the US military. Their development would lead to discoveries such as night vision devices, Lasers, fiber optics, transistors, integrated circuits, irradiated food, anti-missile technology, and numerous other advancements that was the result of back engineering the craft.

Would such a highly-decorated military figure lie so blatantly? This is hardly believable, especially considering the affidavit signed by Corso, arranged by the Citizens Against UFO Secrecy (CAUS), a few weeks before his death. Unfortunately, we do not have a corroborative statement by anybody who knew what Corso was really doing in the early 60’s when he was head of the Foreign Technology Research and Development department for the Army at the Pentagon. Corso claims back-engineering of the alien spaceships resulted in these advances.

On June 8, 1998 CAUS issued this press release:

Attorney Peter A. Gersten, executive director of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy, Inc (CAUS), announced that retired Army Colonel Philip J. Corso has provided CAUS with a sworn affidavit that he saw alien bodies in July, 1947 and hadthe opportunity
to read their autopsy reports in 1961. Thanks to http://www.openminds.tv

This is the text of the Corso affidavit:

AFFIDAVIT

Lt. Col. Philip J. Corso, (Ret.) do hereby swear, under the penalties of perjury, that the following statements are true:

That at all times hereinafter mentioned, I was a member and officer of the defendant. That during my tenure with the defendant I was a member of President Eisenhower’s National Security Council and former head of the Foreign Technology Desk at defendant’s Research & Development department.

That on or about July 6, 1947, while stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas, I personally observed a four-foot non-human creature with
bizarre-looking four-fingered hands, thin legs and feet, and an oversized incandescent light bulb-shaped head. The eye sockets were oversized and almond shaped and pointed down to its tiny nose. The creature’s skull was overgrown to the point where all its facial features were arranged frontally, occupying only a small circle on the lower part of the head.
There were no eyebrows or any indications of facial hair. The creature had only a tiny flat slit for a mouth and it was completely closed, resembling more of a crease or indentation between the nose and the bottom of the chinless skull than a fully functioning orifice.

That in 1961, I came into possession of what I refer to as the ‘Roswell File.’ This file contained field reports, medical autopsy reports and technological debris from the crash an extraterrestrial vehicle in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947.

That I have personally read the medical autopsy reports which refer to the autopsy of the previously described creature that I saw in 1947 at Fort Riley, Kansas.
That said autopsy reports indicated the autopsy was performed at Walter Reed Hospital, which was under the authority of the defendant at the time of the autopsy. That said autopsy report referred to the creature as an ‘extraterrestrial biological entity.’ signed,Colonel Philip J. Corso (ret.)Sworn before me this day of ___ May, 1998.

The manuscript of ‘Dawn of a New Age’ is of essential importance in order to better know Philip James Corso and fully appreciate his fundamental contribution to the cause of truth. Not only for the Roswell incident, but for many very factual events narrated in his notes as he lived them. These are actual facts that do not appear in the over glamorized ‘The Day After Roswell’.

 Note: I took the book ‘The Day After Roswell’ and showed it to General Goodpaster who was Eisenhower’s Chief of Staff who knew Corso, He laughed after perusing the book and thought it read like fairytales, and did not take it seriously.

Filer's Files #3 2014 - ISS Followed by UFO, Col. Philip Corso & Sworn  Affidavit -  PART II

UFO Sightings in the United States

Arizona Rectangle

Phoenix – A husband and wife were driving east on I-10 on December 31, 2013, and decided to snap a few pictures of the mountains. The first picture has the UFO in it and a second later I snapped the second picture in which the object was no longer present.
The pictures have not been doctored in anyway. I snapped these photos on my Galaxy 4 phone.

Note: The object actually shows up in the second photo taken by the witness. If the object was on the windshield, it should have shown up in both photos. I found no evidence of any suspension strings or that the photo was edited. The object is likely real. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Alaska Lights

Anchorage – I couldn’t sleep in the early hours on December 11th, 2013, between 3:30 and 6:30 AM. Looking out my window I noticed a very bright object hovering at different levels in sky near Anchorage International Airport.  It was an extremely bright object with what looked like several rod extensions projecting from it like a tripod, the same color and intensity of display as the main object. I simply decided to pick up my phone and began snapping images. When I checked my pictures only one was bright orange red image all the others were white and they just disappeared.
Thanks to MUFON CMS

California Lights

Newport Beach -- I filmed this on New Year’s Eve December 31, 2013, and noticed three orbs rising. Throughout  the sequence the objects change shape and light up. The lights were clearly changing shape. Motion tracking and digital zoom were applied.

Later that night, I noticed a single orb, and a second orb coming into the frame. From there the lights start strobing and flashing very fast. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Note: Several hundred orbs were reported on New Year’s Eve. Most did not float for a short time like Chinese Lanterns or Earth Lights that are seen during Earthquake activity. Clear skies tend to rule out ball lightning.

Petaluma -- I was driving my car to Target at about 9:30 pm, on January 3, 2014, when I saw orange and white round objects moving. I didn’t know what they were so I pulled over to take video!

They were in a straight line then they kept doing formations what looked like the Big Dipper.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Colorado Photos

 THOMTON -- I’m writing because UFOs are appearing in photographs I take lately. I dont see them until I review pictures and they are there.

This has happened four times since December and I have seen two others while driving my car on January 4, 2014. Are others reporting more frequent sightings?
Thanks to MUFON CMS

Illinois Light

Joliet – I’m a freelance reporter for the Southtown Star and I’m looking into a claim from two snowplow drivers who think they might’ve seen a UFO on Sunday evening on January 5, 2014. They were plowing lots around the Joliet Mall and the object appears to hover for five minutes over near Caton Farm Road.

In the final minute of the video, the object moves overhead and looks cross-shaped with lights on each end. It might be a drone. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Kentucky Green Light

Pendleton County -- Glenn Pennington lives on his farm and is an outdoorsman who has trouble sleeping and observes UFOs above his home on almost every night. He sends images to me periodically and one of these is shown below.  He reports his animals are often excited and fearful of the UFOs. He states,
Look inside the greenish colored lights and you can see a good Saucer picture.

Thanks to Glenn Pennington

Maine Light

Scarborough Beach -- I admire you and look forward to your newsletters.  I have seen most recently an orb recorded on my camera while taking family pictures on the beach at dusk. Later when I saw the pictures they showed a large luminous "moon-like" but there was no moon. It is not sea spray. It seems to show heat on one side and movement in a downward direction.  All that you report is vastly interesting to me.  God
Bless you. Thanks to Sandra Fordyce

New Jersey Cigar

Clinton – A dark black cigar shaped object with several small lights was the only thing visible on January 8, 2014 at 6 PM. We could not make out what it was but could see a low flying blue and red light up front, with a small row of white lights. It was about the size of four helicopters and flew low along tree line. At the far end was one small green light. It made a low humming noise. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director
www.UFOCenter.com

New York Object

Buffalo -- This large object was hovering motionless over a major highway near WEDG 103.3 Radio Station. When first observed, I believed it to be a commercial airliner on a landing flight path to Buffalo Niagara International Airport on November 16, 2013. But it never moved as we traveled home on NYS I90 near the Galleria Mall. I assumed it was an aircraft but my wife disagreed and snapped this picture.

Queens; Forest Hills – Driving towards 108th Street and 67th avenue, as passenger I saw a white plane shaped at complete "stand still" hovering over area on January 9, 2013. At 11:45 PM. No airline logo at all.

Oregon Lights

 Eugene -- We were driving south on 8th Avenue at Almaden, when I observed a no known terrestrial craft on January 13, 2014. We followed west to get a clearer view and noticed two more similar objects. The first turned west and faded as four more appeared following the same path, coming from south then slowly turning west. They all were roundish, the same color, and moving about the speed of a private plane. I have photographed many unknowns and it was a treat to observe these. All five faded from sight. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Pennsylvania Light

 LEVITTown – I was in my living room, reading when something caught my eye outside and I saw three round objects traveling SW on December 29, 2014. They appeared to be moving slowly, flying low, looked round and white with the sun reflecting off of them. One broke off from the group and quickly shot straight up and out of sight. As soon as that happened the two remaining balls flew in a straight line at an extremely high rate of speed. 
The next two nights, my husband saw three very large green lights at 12:30AM, and took a video of them and after four minutes they faded out. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Virginia Boomerang

WOODLAWN -- I stepped outside my to let my dog out when this big boomerang shaped object came over top of the Pine Trees similar size to a C141 four engine aircraft until I realized there was no tail section, and silent. It was flying too slow to stay aloft but flew in a straight line east out of sight. I was in disbelief that anything that big was flying so slowly. It scared my dog. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Worldwide UFO Sightings

Australia Light

Perth (Helena Valley) –It was January 2, 2014, at 9:30 PM, when I went outside to join my wife and a child who were lying down on the grass watching the stars. My wife started calling me urgently pointing out an orange light moving through the clear night sky. It was clearly either larger or closer than a plane, but silent unlike the many other planes we saw. The lights didn't flash like a plane does either. We had a strange feeling as I had never seen something like this before and it slowly moved away from us east over the hills
towards Darlington. Five minutes later, I saw another one higher up. Thanks to
Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com

Hurstville, Sydney -- As I walked out of my friend’s place on December 13, 2013, I was attracted to a red flashing light. There were two of them in fact, one slightly higher than the other about eight kilometers away. It was not a helicopter and they appeared to float either left or right. The objects stayed for twenty minutes and moved away at speed and then just vanished. This same event took place over the next four nights at 9 PM. I believe that these objects were over the Sydney coast line. The lights flashed, blinked and changed rapidly from red, green, yellow, blue, violet and the most amazing richness of the colors was 'mind blowing.

On one occasion a bright yellowish white light flared up and went out quickly. I called my brother to describe what I was seeing when a small round white light appeared and circled the lights. That light doubled and small white lights danced around the lights. Through binoculars what I was seeing was not of this world. Each night after twenty minutes the lights would fade. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Canada Alien Craft Underwater

LAKE ONTARIO -- In late August of 1981, about 5:30 PM, three men and two women were driving in Hamilton, Ontario when one of the occupants saw a strange craft. The craft was a red-orange, domed saucer shaped object, which appeared solid, with many yellow lights radiating from the base or bottom. It was roughly 3-4 car lengths, and 3 car heights for the height of craft. “Not a small craft”. This would put the UFO in the area of 47 to 62 feet in diameter and 14 Feet in height. Its speed and altitude was similar to an aircraft on approach for a landing. It was on a course roughly parallel to theirs and then it flew over them heading north-northwest.
The radio was now getting static EM effects. They followed the UFO as it flew towards Hamilton Harbor, slowed down and gently entered the water that is 7 or more meters (23 feet) and gets deeper in Lake Ontario. There are many cases of UFOs submerging in shallow waters.  They remained in the area for seven hours.  Between 12:20 and 1:00 am, two objects were seen to partially emerge and remained in that position until the group finally left. Another possibility regarding the emerging objects might be the tide going out and revealing some fixed underwater object.

“I'd like to forward more photographic evidence to you as I normally am able to take some pictures of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs). This photo is an original taken on November 16, 2013. The picture reveals a type of vortex.

Another photo which I took on November 19th is very different and astonishingly has an appearance of an enormous sized golden angelic-like person suspended high up in the sky! Thanks to M/A.

Air China Flight's Encounter with a Ufo

CHENGDU -- A passenger jet was forced to make an emergency landing after a mysterious mid-air collision with a 'foreign object' at 26,000 feet severely dented its nose cone. The pilots of Air China flight CA4307 left Chengdu on the morning of June 4, 2013. As the plane was climbing out a large bang was heard from the front of aircraft. The pilots requested an emergency landing back to Chengdu due to "mechanical failure."

A passenger took this image of the damage to the 757’s radome and scraped paintwork. The nose of the aircraft shows evidence of the collision.  China Daily news reports the damage was due to a bird, but there are no bird remains.”
Besides, the plane’s elevation was too high for birds. There are speculations that the collision was caused by a UFO but no one was hurt. 

There are dozens of reports of near misses between UFOs and commercial aircraft.  Just last week, three jet pilots saw UFOs on their approach to Gatwick Airport. The pilots reported seeing two flat, silver discs within 100 feet of their aircraft. 
Air traffic control had six UFOs on their radars that suddenly vanished.  Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldUFOphotos.org

Germany UFO

Bremen Airport -- On Tuesday, January 6, 2014, police and authorities have confirmed that a UFO flew over Bremen and passed within 300 meters of the Werder stadium at 6:30 pm. The incident forced closure of the airspace of the Northern German city for three hours, during which time the object appeared and disappeared on the airport radars. The event led to several delayed flights and a police spokesman stated, "There was something there, but we don't know what it was." The entire German press has been reporting on the incident.

Japan Disc

Tokyo -- Yuji asks,
“ I am writing to ask your opinion on the attached pictures of discs (Bell-shaped, UFOs) and the two lights that I videotaped in 2010. 
The first picture on the left appears in your latest news taken in Guatemala on December 30,2013. The middle one appeared in your past files taken in California on March, 2013. The right one appeared in another site taken in Verona, Italy on April 24, 2013.
 
To my eyes, these three pictures seem to show the same image.
I am not sure whether they are real or not.

Note: It is my opinion these are real UFOs although they may be back engineered craft that belong to governments.
 
 Hokkaido, Japan -- The second picture shows two lights that I video-recorded on June 25, 2010, at 11 PM, at the plateau of 1000 meters above sea level. I have 7 second video file of these moving lights. The two lights appeared only at the left-bottom corner in the video screen, but they showed zigzag motions and changed lights by turns with 0.5 second interval. Thank you for your news always.

Note: The lights may be so called Earth lights seen along fault lines or they may be light from the propulsion system of a UFO. Just looking at a photo it is
ifficult to assign the exact identification. Thanks to Yuji in Tokyo

Mexico Sphere

Nevado de Toluca Crater – I was walking in the crater of Nevado de Toluca, and making an excellent recording of a spherical object rising and falling within the crater on January 4, 2014. We shot considerable distance from where the lake was, but were fortunate to see a very clearly spherical shaped object. It was making very strange movements up and down. It was initially on the surface of the water and then moved up and down inside the crater of Nevado de Toluca. Thanks to Spanish UFO News.

Republic of Ireland Rainbow

 Portlaoise, CO. Laois -- In September 2013, while driving I took a picture of a rainbow near my home. When I uploaded the pictures to my PC, I was amazed to see much more than just a rainbow. I showed the pictures to a friend, and the Irish Astrology Society, but neither saw anything strange.

I am wondering if I am the only one who sees a huge very distinguishable twin decked craft, with two bright spots to the top right hand side of one picture.
The craft is partially hidden in the cloud, but is definitely not caused by atmospherics or any trick.

Note: The witness stated that the photos were taken in September of 2013. Metadata with the photo files indicates that the date was October 19, 2013. (This is assuming that the date was correctly set in the camera.) Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

South Korean Saucer

 Busan – I spotted an interesting shaped cloud while I had a smoke at a highway pit stop. My mother asked me to take some pictures of it on January 7, 2014 at 12:15 PM. Once I had taken a photo, we noticed something left of a cloud what seems to be like a huge saucer. Part of it is illuminated and the other end of it was light blue as if it is far out of our atmosphere. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com

UK/England Disc

 Brecon -- The picture was taken half way up a very steep climb at Storey Arms, Brecon Beacon’s Western Area on May 24, 2013 at 12.56 PM.  I did not see anything when I took the picture. The frame before and after have no objects, I have taken over 10,000 pictures with this camera (Canon 650d fitted with a Canon 15 to 85 zoom) and have had no similar markings. The day was very windy, visibility was good, a forest was 600 to 700 feet below and the area we were walking in is short rough scrub/grassland. There are white sheep in the far hillside. The shutter speed was 160th sec at f7.1, 100 ISO, and image size was 18mp. Nothing has been altered from the original image apart from contrast, saturation and crop to enable a large zoom image.

LONDON -- I felt the need to look at the sky on January10, 2014, because although there were many stars there was something very bright and flashing. I quickly photographed and also filmed the object that had the shape initially of a typical disc-shaped ship. The unidentified object in my first sighting always kept in the same area with a speed much higher than a normal plane.

Subsequently there was a change to a round shape that I also photographed. I made ​​the universal greeting and it flashed with a flash effect with a new image that sent me back to the classic face of the UFO. The latter is also documented. After that the object flew sharply to the right.

Italian Woman Impregnated by Aliens

                             (Before It's News)

Italian, Woman, Aliens, Impregnated

The photos and videos you will see are supposedly a human/alien hybrid fetus, collected from an abortion performed on an Italian woman in 2010 who claims to have been abducted and impregnated by aliens. Aliens first began visiting Giovanna when she was 4 years old. She is now 41.

The woman from Italy claims to have been impregnated by aliens several times. 

Apparently the creatures removed the other fetuses at around 2 months. Giovanna claims that the creatures speak to her telepathically and that they have told her they want to create a hybrid race that is genetically close to their species.Because we are supposedly biologically compatible with their race, we have been chosen. Or more specifically, Giovanna has been chosen to propagate their race by means of a new hybrid species. Giovanna relates that the aliens visited her often when she was a young girl. At that time the aliens would use her for research, collecting biological material (tissue and blood).

Their nocturnal visits left marks on her body, along with a phosphorescence material that Giovanna says is something they use as a disinfectant to prevent her from getting infections from them and to prevent them from getting infections from her. When examined by researchers, the phosphorescent substance taken from Giovanna’s room provided evidence that the substance was not natural and that it included no nitrates or phosphor. It was also magnetic. Doctors also found something implanted in Giovanna’s head but could find no scar indicating how the object got inside her head. The object implanted was of undetermined origin and could not be qualified.

ALIENS! Starchild Skull: The Shocking DNA Results Are In (Video)

                                                             (Before It's News)

Starchild Skull: The Shocking DNA Results Are In

The first record of alien DNA? There is NO MISTAKING the difference. Durable, strange fibers are in the matrix of the bone that is not found in ANY other species.

Are you prepared?

CERTAIN CHANGES ARE COMING OUR WAY. ARE YOU READY, ARE YOU PREPARED? PLEASE DO NOT STAY STUCK IN DENIAL! Our time truly is limited. Sure, people have been saying that they are in the “end times” for ages now, saying that “Jesus is coming soon”. Seriously these Jesus freaks keep on saying the same thing and nothing ever really happens.  In fact, it is such an old “war cry” that you have tuned it out which in turn has hardened your heart to the warnings. Please just take a quick glance at the news headlines and put the pieces together. There is no denying the signs, the “labor pains” and symptoms any longer. And labor pains progress, they do not diminish.

Are you prepared? Are you protected? If you are scoffing at the warnings, guess what? You are fulfilling prophecy and you are only hurting yourself and any of those who may be listening to you. Check it out, I’m not putting you on: 2 Peter 3:3, 4 and also in Jude 1:18,19  both are in the New Testament. Get saved; you are going to need His protection. More importantly, you will definitely need your salvation for all of eternity. I don’t know you, but I certainly care about you and your eternity. This is not a gimmick; the only thing I gain from you trusting God is another brother or sister in the Lord.

The ULTIMATE Preparation Right Here: God, Please remove any deception that I may have listened to, believed or embraced that is hindering me from knowing the truth. Because I am not perfect, I am a sinner that needs forgiveness and I ask You to forgive me. I believe You are Savior and Lord Who shed Your Holy, Sinless Blood and died for my sins to be forgiven, and rose from the dead; You live forever. I want to turn away from (repent) my sins. I invite You, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, God the Messiah to come into my heart and life as Savior and Lord. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and personal Savior. In the all powerful Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I pray. Amen.

James Gilliland over foto's van buitenaardsen en hoaxers (video)

Vandaag gaan we kijken naar de meercontroversiële aspecten van het UFO-fenomeen. Sommigen brengen informatie alleen naar buiten voor het geld en verspreiden desinformatie.Toch krijgen ze veel volgelingen.

Er zijn ook mensen die zeggen dat er helemaal geen kwaadaardige buitenaardsen bestaan en dat ‘kwaad slechts een illusie is’.

Daarnaast proberen bepaalde mensen door middel van drugs in contact te komen met buitenaardse wezens. Gilliland legt uit dat de gevestigde orde de meeste macht heeft op aarde, maar dat hun imperium vroeg of laat uit elkaar valt. Hoe hoger mensen in de bestuursregionen van grote bedrijven komen, hoe meer duister zich om hen heen verzamelt.

De grote ‘banksters’ van Wall Street hebben hun ziel min of meer verkocht aan parasitaire buitenaardsen die de mensheid door middel van programmering in bedwang houden. Als mensen door die programma’s kijken en de illusie doorzien, valt het kaartenhuis van de ‘powers that were’, zoals Gilliland ze noemt, in elkaar.

Gilliland deelt ook beeldmateriaal dat afkomstig is van zijn ECETI Ranch en vertelt wat mensen daar zoal meemaken. Volgens Gilliland is buitenaards contact een feit en hebben de mensen die zijn ranch hebben bezocht levensveranderende ervaringen gehad.

The Most Science Fictional News Stories Of 2013 In Pictures

In his 2005 novel Accelerando, science fiction author and futurist Charles Stross wrote a collection of stories about the accelerating pace of change in the modern world: Inspired by his experience as a coder at a 30%-annual-growth-rate financial startup during the dotcom boom, he set out to capture what happens when technological progress builds upon itself, so that the future seems to approach more quickly every year.

This year, it seems, the future caught up with him.

As Stross wrote in his blog earlier this month, he had been planning to author a third book in his Halting State trilogy, whose story centered on crime and espionage carried out in a massive multiplayer game’s virtual world. His problem: reality had become stranger than science fiction. As revealed in classified documents leaked by intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, employees of the NSA and Britain’s GCHQ spy agency infiltrated virtual worlds like World of Warcraft and Second Life as recently as 2009, recruiting informants and patrolling for terrorists who might use the worlds as hidden channels for communication or money laundering.

When real-life intelligence agencies are using virtual Orc avatars to fight Al Qaeda, science fiction seems redundant. Stross writes:

At this point, I’m clutching my head. “Halting State” wasn’t intended to be predictive when I started writing it in 2006. Trouble is, about the only parts that haven’t happened yet are Scottish Independence and the use of actual quantum computers for cracking public key encryption (and there’s a big fat question mark over the latter—what else are the NSA up to?)…I’m throwing in the towel.

In many ways, 2013 felt like a year where Stross’s phenomenon of “accelerando” brought our notion of the future rushing into the present ahead of schedule, again and again. From augmented reality headsets to cryptocurrency to 3D-printed guns, the ingredients of cyberpunk and dystopian worlds are stepping out of novels and films and directly into headlines.

Did Iranian Fighters Battle UFOs?

.  

Iranian Air Force Grumman F-14A Tomcat (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

As if the Iran-UFO connection (the Axis of Alien-ness?) couldn’t get any weirder, it now appears that the Iranian Air Force attempted to shoot down aircraft that didn’t seem very Earth-like.

Before I go any further, the following does not come from a conspiracy Web site. It’s from an article last October in Combat Aircraft Monthly, a military aviation magazine that features some well-respected writers. The article on Iranian F-14 Tomcat fighters by Babak Taghvaee, who has written extensively on the Iranian Air Force, also recounts how Iran attempted to intercept what it believed to be U.S. spy drones overflying its nuclear facilities.

What’s interesting in Taghvaee’s piece is how Iran describes the intruders, which the Iranians called “luminous objects” in the belief that they were emitting light to enable night photography:

According to Iranian sources, the CIA’s intelligence drones displayed astonishing flight characteristics, including an ability to fly outside the atmosphere, attain a maximum cruise speed of Mach 10, and a minimum speed of zero, with the ability to hover over the target. Finally, these drones used powerful ECM that could jam enemy radars using very high levels of magnetic energy, disrupting navigation systems.

In one intercept over the Arak nuclear facility in November 2004, an Iranian F-14 Tomcat tried to lock its radar on to a luminous object, only to have the radar beam disrupted. “The pilot described the object as being spherical, with something like a green afterburner creating a considerable amount of turbulence behind it,” according to the article. The intruder then increased its speed and “disappeared like a meteor.”

The tale took a deadly turn in January 2012, when an F-14 was scrambled to intercept an intruder flying towards the Bushehr nuclear power plant. Seconds after take-off, the F-14 exploded, killing both crewmen. No cause for the tragedy was determined.

This is not the first time that Iranian fighters tangled with alleged UFOs: In 1976, during the reign of the Shah before the fundamentalists took over, Iranian F-4 Phantoms unsuccessfully attempted to intercept fast, bright objects, only to have some unknown force knock out their instruments. Yet note that nowhere in Taghvaee’s article do Iranian authorities describe the luminous objects in 2004 and 2012 as UFOs (indeed, the only time the word “UFO” is used at all is in a single sub-headline). It is possible that jamming could have disrupted the dated 1970s radar of Iran’s F-14s in the 2004 incident, while an aging aircraft kept flying by parts smuggled past a Western embargo may have exploded in 2012 for reasons other than extraterrestrial action.

In that case, the question becomes, what kind of aircraft flies at Mach 10? That’s 10 times the speed of sound, or 7,612 miles per hour (the legendary SR-71 Blackbird spy aircraft flew at around Mach 3, or 2,283 miles per hour). An obvious candidate is a hypersonic aircraft like NASA’s experimental X-43  hypersonic aircraft, which flew at Mach 9.68 in 2004. That program was terminated, and briefly resurrected as the Air Force X-51 Waverider, which flew at Mach 5 for nearly four minutes last May before plunging into the Pacific.

But these projects are more like experimental missiles that one day might become manned or unmanned aircraft. If the “luminous objects” described by Iran really did fly at Mach 10, jam radars and zoom away from jet interceptors, then this suggests a hypersonic aircraft mature and reliable enough to be trusted with sensitive reconnaissance missions. Perhaps the semi-mythical Aurora?

Without a lot more evidence, such as a crashed spacecraft of an alien pilot, I am not inclined to believe that UFOs felt a need to peek at Iran’s nuclear sites. It’s more likely that the Iranian military – perhaps through an honest mistake – exaggerated the performance of the intruders. But if they didn’t, and the U.S. was able to deploy Mach 10 reconnaissance aircraft a decade ago, then here’s the biggest mystery:  Why is America spending a trillion dollars to develop a troubled F-35 Joint Strike Fighter that can’t even fly Mach 2?

Maybe the aliens could explain that one.

Update: A skeptical look at the 1976 Tehran incident (thanks to Debunkatron.com for bringing it to our attention).
