UFO mania: Scientific Paper Explains the Possible Existence of Reptilian Humanoids
UFO mania: Scientific Paper Explains the Possible Existence of Reptilian Humanoids
Famous chemist Ronald Breslow PhD has recently released a paper explaining the possibility that an ancient advanced Reptilian civilizations exists. The paper was published by the American Chemical Society. (American Chemical Society) - "New scientific research raises the possibility that advanced versions of T. Rex and other dinosaurs — monstrous creatures with the intelligence and cunning of humans — may be the life forms that evolved on other planets in the universe."
"We would be better off not meeting them", concludes the study, which appears in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
Later edit -- The paper was withdrawn from the website, about one month after I have posted this article, and linked it to their work: "This paper was withdrawn on May 16, 2012 (J. Am. Chem. Soc.2012, 134, 8287)." In the report, noted scientist Ronald Breslow, Ph.D., discusses the century-old mystery of why the building blocks of terrestrial amino acids (which make up proteins), sugars, and the genetic materials DNA and RNA exist mainly in one orientation or shape. There are two possible orientations, left and right, which mirror each other in the same way as hands. This is known as "chirality." In order for life to arise, proteins, for instance, must contain only one chiral form of amino acids, left or right. With the exception of a few bacteria, amino acids in all life on Earth have the left-handed orientation. Most sugars have a right-handed orientation. How did that so-called homochirality, the predominance of one chiral form, happen? Breslow describes evidence supporting the idea that the unusual amino acids carried to a lifeless Earth by meteorites about 4 billion years ago set the pattern for normal amino acids with the L-geometry, the kind in terrestial proteins, and how those could lead to D-sugars of the kind in DNA. “Of course,” Breslow says, “showing that it could have happened this way is not the same as showing that it did.” He adds: “An implication from this work is that elsewhere in the universe there could be life forms based on D-amino acids and L-sugars. Such life forms could well be advanced versions of dinosaurs, if mammals did not have the good fortune to have the dinosaurs wiped out by an asteroidal collision, as on Earth. We would be better off not meeting them.”
The Dinosauroid Hypothesis (a.k.a. Sapient Dinosaurs)
Wikipedia: "In 1982, Dale Russell, then curator of vertebrate fossils at the National Museum of Canada in Ottawa, conjectured a possible evolutionary path for Troodon, if it not had perished in the K/T extinction event 65 million years ago, suggesting that it could have evolved into intelligent beings similar in body plan to humans. Over geologic time, Russell noted that there had been a steady increase in the encephalization quotient or EQ (the relative brain weight when compared to other species with the same body weight) among the dinosaurs. Russell had discovered the first Troodontid skull, and noted that, while its EQ was low compared to humans, it was six times higher than that of other dinosaurs. Russell suggested that if the trend in Troodon evolution had continued to the present, its brain case could by now measure 1,100 cm3; comparable to that of a human. Troodontids had semi-manipulative fingers, able to grasp and hold objects to a certain degree, and binocular vision. Russell proposed that his "Dinosauroid", like members of the troodontid family, would have had large eyes and three fingers on each hand, one of which would have been partially opposed. Russell also speculated that the "Dinosauroid" would have had a tootheless beak. As with most modern reptiles (and birds), he conceived of its genitalia as internal. Russell speculated that it would have required a navel, as a placenta aids the development of a large brain case. However, it would not have possessed mammary glands, and would have fed its young, as some birds do, on regurgitated food. He speculated that its language would have sounded somewhat like bird song." -- Wikipedia; More Supporters of the "Sapient Dinosaurs" Theory
(1977) Aritsune Toyota - "A Japanese science fiction writer was one of the earliest proposers of the idea of sapient dinosaurs. Toyota was intrigued by the theory of the "Warm-blooded Deinonychus" (John Ostrom, 1964) and developed the idea that some kinds of dinosaurs would have evolved to acquire intelligence. He referred to The Hot-blooded Dinosaurs (Desmond, Adrian J., 1975, Rosemarie Buckman, Oxfordshire) and constructed a theoretical model of what they might have been like. He first published his ideas as science fiction in the novel Kako no kageri (A shadow of the past) in 1977. In the story he described them as reptilian humanoids who use bone tools for hunting, speak a primitive language, and build a rudimentary society. The creature was supposed to have evolved from a dinosaur similar to dromaeosaurus. A year later, Toyota received advice from Japanese zoologist Tatsuo Saneyoshi, and began striving for more zoological authenticity on details. He then authored Zoku jikanhō keikaku (Prospectus for the spatiotemporal cannon part 2). He continued to study thropoda, and serialized his novel as Dainosaurusu sakusen (The plan of the dinosaurs) in 1979." - Wikipedia; David Icke
Jordan Maxwell
(1977) Carl Sagan- "In his 1977 book, The Dragons of Eden: Speculations on the Evolution of Human Intelligence, author Carl Sagan speculated about the related genus Saurornithoides evolving into ever more intelligent forms in the absence of any extinction event. In a world dominated by Saurornithoides, Sagan mused, arithmetic would be Base 8 rather than Base 10." (1978) Harry Jerison- "American psychologist Harry Jerison suggested the possibility of sapient dinosaurs. In 1978, he gave a presentation titled "Smart dinosaurs and comparative psychology", at a meeting of the American Psychological Association. According to his speech, dromiceiomimus supposedly could have evolved into a highly intelligent species like human beings."

UFO mania: University of California Scientists: 'Camouflaged' Aliens...
UFO mania: University of California Scientists: 'Camouflaged' Aliens...
Scientists of the University of California came up with an unusual hypothesis suggesting that space aliens have long settled on Earth and lived among us as observers. Of course, there is no evidence of this, but according to ancient sources, including the Bible, our planet has been visited by representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations since its inception. In 2000 scientists of the University of California, led by Professor Jonathan Malkisom, held a press conference, during which the sensational news that representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations have long been among humans was reported. They adopted human appearance and closely monitor our every move.
“It’s like an extreme version of the camouflage found in some insects and animals. Moreover, according to historical records, there have been aliens on Earth from the beginning of creation,” says Adrian Kent of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Canada.
A confirmation of the words of the Canadian scientist can be found in the Book of Genesis, at the point where the confrontation of Jacob with the Almighty is described:
“And Jacob remained alone; and a man wrestled with him until the rising of the dawn.”
The ancient philosophers were always looking for the answer to the question whether beings arriving from the sky are members of the same tribe as the angels. But as a rule, the answer was no, since the arriving beings were mortal, while the angels live forever.
The question of extraterrestrial civilizations was openly and seriously discussed for the first time only in the twentieth century, especially after the CIA declassified a small part of the archive on the so-called Roswell case, when the U.S. militaries found a crashed flying saucer and delivered its parts to the base.
There is information that in addition to the unknown space object debris, the bodies of three aliens were found and taken to the base. The cause of the incident was the impact of ground radars on the navigation equipment of aliens.
According to another version, the UFO was hit by lightning.
There are reports that U.S. President John F. Kennedy, a few days before his death, asked the head of the CIA to provide all the materials about the incident, but he did not manage to access the most secret archives.
From the 1980′s, many people started claiming that they not only had seen the appearance of a UFO in the sky, but had been inside these objects, and even had come into contact with the aliens.
One of the most famous contactees is Bulgarian prophet Vanga:
“Sometimes one of the aliens takes my hand. They communicate only with a few inhabitants of our planet. They are constantly watching us,” said Vanga about her contacts with representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations.
“The Earth is no longer an 'intermediate base.' They have settled here for a good long time now.”
In January 2011, British scientists announced the need to prepare for emergency meeting with an extraterrestrial civilization, and even suggested the foundation of a special committee at the UN.
Vergeet de Egyptische piramides, Stonehenge of graancirkels. Malibu schijnt al 40 jaar een centrale ontmoetingsplaats te zijn voor buitenaardsen. De voorstad van Los Angeles wordt ook wel de ‘nieuwe buitenaardse hoofdstad van de wereld’ genoemd.
Volgens UFO-expert Michael Luckman, voorzitter van het New York Center for Extraterrestrial Research, zit vlak voor de kust van Malibu een onderzeese basis van buitenaardsen. Hij wil tijdens een speciaal concert een luidspreker en lasers onder water inzetten om contact te leggen met de wezens. Hij wil ook een vloot boten naar de plek sturen waarvan hij vermoedt dat de buitenaardsen zich er schuilhouden.
Malibu-anomalie voor de kust van Point Dume (Google Earth)
De ‘buitenaardse basis’ bevindt zich voor de kust van Malibu en is ongeveer vier kilometer breed. Sommigen spreken al van de ‘Malibu-anomalie’. Jimmy Church van het Dark Matter Radio Network publiceerde beelden van de basis, waar al de nodige artikelen over zijn geschreven. Hij theoretiseert dat de basis mogelijk een poort is die Malibu verbindt met andere plekken op aarde.
Church claimt dat er al 40 jaar lang veel UFO-activiteit is rond Malibu. Inwoners gaan er speciaal voor zitten en kijken toe hoe vreemde lichten in het water verdwijnen of eruit tevoorschijn komen, zegt hij.
Schrijver Robert Stanley was in juli te gast in het programma Coast to Coast van George Noory. Over de ‘buitenaardse basis’ zei Stanley: “Een oude vriend van me, die in het leger heeft gediend en in Malibu woont, weet al 10 jaar van het bestaan van deze anomalie. Hij is zendamateur en pikt al enige tijd signalen op uit die richting die er niet zouden moeten zijn.”
Toen de Huffington Post onderzoek deed naar het fenomeen, kwam een studie uit 2009 naar boven waarin de zogenaamde buitenaardse basis ‘Sycamore Knoll’ wordt genoemd, een opschuivingsbreuk die geologisch gezien deel uitmaakt van het breuksysteem van zuidelijk Californië.
Stanley vertelde dat hij al vaak UFO’s heeft gezien in het gebied, waaronder UFO’s die onder water verdwijnen en op den duur weer boven komen. “Malibu is één van die locaties, er zit een poort,” zei hij. “Ik weet niet of het natuurlijk of kunstmatig is.”
Twee andere luisteraars uit Malibu deelden hun eigen UFO-ervaring. Neal zei dat hij er al 55 jaar woont en omschreef een UFO met een ‘prachtig rood licht’ die hij op een avond in de omgeving van Latigo Canyon had gezien. “Toen ging het object door een poort en was het weg.”
Een andere luisteraar, die zichzelf Jessica noemde, sprak over UFO-activiteit in het gebied rond Topanga Canyon in de jaren negentig. “Op een avond zagen we een moederschip. Het was groter dan het huis.”
Stanley houdt zich bezig met het zoeken naar wat hij ‘megalithische monumenten’ noemt. Hij gelooft dat de aarde in een ver verleden ook al werd bezocht door buitenaardsen. Hij heeft een aantal rotsformaties gevonden die volgens hem door ruimtereizigers zijn gemaakt.

Belief in a government (or quasi-governmental) cover-up is central to the belief system of many people in the UFO community, and in relation to this issue one frequently comes across discussions about the extent to which it’s possible to keep secrets. Having worked for 21 years in an inherently secretive part of the UK government, I thought I’d correct a few popular misconceptions about government secrecy and make some other relevant points on the issue. My knowledge and experience here comes not specifically from my three years on the MoD’s UFO project, but is something gained in the course of my wider 21-year career, which encompassed various postings at a number of different grades. My final posting – to the Directorate of Defence Security – is probably the most relevant one. More....
THREE TRIANGLES OVER LAKE ONTARIOby Cheryl Costa.
On 25 August, little did Gordon realize that a routine chore with his dogs would lead to a sighting of three triangles over Lake Ontario. It was quarter past ten on a clear night in Rochester, NY. Gordon had just let his dogs out for a run in the backyard. His attention was immediately drawn to a bright object in the western sky about 20 degree above the horizon. While it had a flickering quality, Gordon knew it wasn’t a star. More...
MORE AERIAL SIGHTINGS OVER THE NIGHT SKIES OF NELSON, B.C.by Ron Murdock.
In late August 2014 I was awake between 2 and 4 in the morning. I was in bed when it started to vibrate slowly. I got thinking a low magnitude earthquake was happening in Nelson or a large one was occurring on the west coast. I was looking out the window when an object flew over the roof of the building next door. It was the size of a large football was brightly lit up or it was heat radiating from its surface as the light was a bright orange. More...
UFOS SEEN OVER YUCATANby Scott Corrales.

NEW DISCOVERY OF 15 NEW MONUMENTS AT STONEHENGEby Joe Martino.
Stonehenge has always been a mysterious place. For years, people have been pondering its meaning and whether or not humans had a hand in building the massive circular monument of up-right stones. Just recently, the plot thickened at Stonehenge. More
THE DANGERS OF CHRISTIAN SURVIVALISM AND THE ZIONIST-FREEMASONIC-SATANIST MYTHby Pat Regan.
Chris Bray of the Subculture Alternatives Freedom Foundation (SAFF) has kindly granted me permission to utilise the following article on Christian Survivalism. Sadly today there are countless people on the internet pushing out the Zionist-Freemasonic-Satanist Myth (ZFSM). They are not even trying to convince floating voters any more, it is sadly just taken for granted and wrongly perceived as accepted fact! More...

FIASCO: THE TRUE ACRONYM FOR THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT by Jeff Krause.
As anyone who has ever filed a FOIA (also know as the “Freedom Of Information Act”) request knows, the process for obtaining requested information is seriously broken, to the extent that all agencies to which we commonly request information from have created an art form out of circumnavigating the legal process. The contempt shown by these agencies, and their FOIA Representatives, is apparent with every response, although cloaked in a sense of polite mock-legality. Claims of requested documents “not existing”, and later turning up, are more than just common, it is the norm. More...
THE OLD ROSWELL ARMY BASE IS SEEING A FEW CHANGESby Dennis G. Balthaser .
the base at Roswell was originally opened in 1941 as a pilot training school for the Second World War, and quickly became an important military base during the years of its existence, housing many various air squadrons, and a large contingency of military personnel. Just 4 years after the base opened, the first atomic bomb was tested a short 100 miles from Roswell at Trinity site at White Sands. More...

UFO sighting over Skyros Island, Greece on 12th August 2014
UFO sighting over Skyros Island, Greece on 12th August 2014
New interesting video footage of two bright UFO lights recorded in the night sky above Skyros Island, Greece on 12th August2014.
Witness said: On Tuesday, August 12, shortly after 1 a.m. we saw five Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO) aligned in parallel positions! The 5 objects flew in parallel courses above at least astonished 20 observers who were seated by the beach at Molos, on the Aegean island of Skyros! The event lasted less than one minute, when suddenly the UFOs arrived at a singular point in the sky and disappeared at breakneck speed in the distance. During the next day, we checked with the Port of Skyros, and we were told that they knew of the sighting! They were alerted by other witnesses!! Apparently, port authorities rushed to the area, but had not seen anything. Unable to believe our eyes, we captured footage of the UFOs reaching close range, almost 500 meters away from us! We attempted to capture all of the objects on video using our cell phone, but only three could be seen. The third can only barely be seen flashing.
In de "directe omgeving" van de aarde staan meer dan 100.000 Melkwegstelsels. Die vormen een gigantisch complex, hebben Amerikaanse wetenschappers ontdekt. Het is een zogeheten supercluster, dat de naam Laniakea heeft gekregen. Dat is Hawaïaans voor "immense hemel".
Het overkoepelende stelsel is enorm. Het meet 500 miljoen lichtjaar in doorsnee. Een lichtjaar is de afstand die het licht in 1 jaar aflegt, bijna 10 biljoen kilometer. Bij elkaar zijn de stelsels 100 miljoen miljard (een 1 met 17 nullen) keer zo zwaar als onze zon. Het was bekend dat de aarde in zo'n megastelsel staat, maar de omvang was nog niet duidelijk.
"We hebben eindelijk de grenzen vastgesteld van de supercluster die onze thuis is. Het is alsof je voor het eerst ontdekt dat je woonplaats deel uitmaakt van een veel groter land dat aan andere landen grenst'', verklaart hoofdonderzoeker R. Brent Tully. De studie staat in de nieuwste editie van het belangrijke wetenschapsblad Nature.
Het is niet bekend hoeveel superclusters er in het heelal zijn.

UFO mania: Recent crop circle predicts solar event on 9/9/14?
New amazing Crop Circles have appeared in:
Parkers Hill Plantation, nr Cherington, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom. Reported 27th July.
Green Street, Nr Avebury, Wiltshire, United Kingdom. Reported 29th July.
Roundway Hill, Nr Devizes, Wiltshire, United Kingdom. Reported 30th July.
Especially the circle near Roundway Hill in Wiltshire is a weird circle with lots of surprises. It shows the geocentric locations of planets, Mars, the Moon and the Sun in our solar system.
The geometric work in the circle seems to refer to an unexpected astronomical event on 9-9-14 (September 9, 2014).

In “United States of Secrets,” a two-part series airing May 13 & 20, FRONTLINE reveals the dramatic inside story of how the U.S. government came to monitor and collect the communications of millions of people around the world—and the lengths they went to trying to hide the massive surveillance program from the public.
Police are investigating after a human skull was found among donations to a charity store.
Medical examiners say the skull is from an adult who died within the last two years.
The cause of death is unknown, and medics don’t know if the skull is from a man or woman.
Goodwill store staff discovered the skull as they were sorting through donations to the outlet in Austin, Texas.
Austin police say they don’t believe foul play was involved, and think the skull may be from a private collection.
Detective Derek Israel said: “We think it was probably something that belonged to the person who donated it, and it was part of a collection or an anatomical model or something like that.
“It could have been something that was kept by someone who was a student of medicine, dentistry, any of those things.”
Goodwill has 31 stores in Austin and 40 donation centres, and has had other unusual gifts in the past.
A spokeswoman said: “We have gotten prosthetic limbs. We have gotten Rolex watches. We have gotten Krugerrands. Our donations run the gamut.” – Mirror
I’m ready to share something quite unnerving that just happened to me last Sunday. So, some background. I drive a ’98 Toyota Rav4 which has certainly seen better days, my grandfather was the one that used to drive the SUV before it was handed down to me. So, it got into his head that we should maybe give the Rav some love, give it a fresh coat of paint on the front and rear bumpers.
Here we are then, my grandpa just getting the finishing touches on the Rav while I just idly watch him work when something at the distance catches my attention ( I live in a closed neighborhood, my house being at the end of the street so any car that enter must turn right in front of the house ) another Rav4 identical to mine comes driving down the street, what a coincidence I think, it just so happens that when it passed in front of me I caught a glimpse of the driver, it was, well me, driving a Rav that was already painted; the driver just looked back at me, our gazes crossed, he didn’t give me a nod of acknowledgment or something, he just stared at me for a few seconds, made a u-turn and left.
I was left astounded to say the least, this guy, which I could swear looked just like me, driving the same car at me, just drove past my house, stared at me for a few seconds at leaved. I didn’t tell my grandpa of the other guy, seeing as how he didn’t even notice the car because he was to busy painting.
Do you guys have any idea as to what this may mean? Is he like a doppelganger or something, my mind playing me some sick joke? – Reddit.com
That Time Lloyds of London Insured The Loch Ness Monster
In 1971, Cutty Sark offered an award of one million pounds ($2.4 million) to anyone who could capture the Loch Ness Monster. But, the whiskey manufacturer began to get cold feet, so it asked Lloyds of London to underwrite the contest. The insurance company agreed, with the condition that it would get to keep Nessie.
To this day, nobody is certain why Cutty Sark came to believe that someone might actually reel in the mythical, Scottish sea creature. Still, this was the 1970s, when Nessie-mania was reaching a peak and scientific expeditions were searching the dark depths of the 22-square-mile, freshwater loch. (The late monster-hunter, Robert Rines, took an underwater photo deemed so convincing that scientists at Harvard and the Smithsonian Institution expressed serious interest.)
Perhaps that’s also why Lloyds of London initially turned down the request to accept Cutty Sark as a client. A spokesperson for the firm stated that, “The Risk is too great.”
But, after a barrage of news reports that the unflappable Lloyds had “chickened out,” the insurance company reversed its decision.
“Everybody was saying that our underwriters were refusing to insure and that got our backs up,” the spokesperson said a week later.
The contract between Lloyds and Cutty Sark stated:
“As far as this insurance is concerned, the Loch Ness Monster shall be deemed to be:
In excess of 20 feet in length.
Acceptable as the Loch Ness Monster to the curators of the Natural History Museum, London.
In the event of loss hereunder, the monster shall become the property of the underwriters hereon.”
Since Lloyds had no way to calculate the probability that Nessie would be captured, it charged an outrageous premium that far exceeded the reasonable probability of loss.
Still, Cutty Sark signed. And Lloyd’s made a nice profit, since the Loch Ness Monster was never caught. Or, so we’ve been led to believe – io9
Execution by Elephant: Ancient Capital Punishment in India
The death penalty is one of the oldest methods of criminal sentencing. Although different countries have had equally gruesome methods of inflicting the highest form of punishment, India had one of the most brutal methods of criminal torture: execution by elephant.
Designed to demonstrate to the people that even the awe-inspiring power of nature was under the iron grip of the emperor, execution by elephant — or gunga rao, as it’s called in India – became a choice method for capital punishment during the Middle Ages and continued well into the 19th century. Although the execution method was thought to have originated in ancient Rome, the practice of stomping the punished via elephant became popular in both western and Southeast Asia and in India. However, this method of execution declined as the British Empire grew in power.
Sources say that Hindu and Muslim leaders executed citizens for tax evasion, rebellion, and being enemy soldiers alike. Thieves and Mongol prisoners were also punished by death.
As for the elephants, they were often trained to “instantly crush [the offender] to atoms … but if it was desired to torture him, the elephant would break his limbs successively, as men are broken on the wheel,” observed Robert Kerr, a writer from the 19th century.
Crushing the victim, however, was not the only method of elephant-inflicted torture. According to François Bernier, a French traveler who witnessed such executions in the Mughal sultanate of Delhi, the elephants were also capable of slicing the prisoners to pieces “with pointed blades fitted to their tusks.”
Another traveler who visited Delhi in the year 1330, Ibn Mattuta, witnessed and recorded his account of the event, stating: “If the order was to cut him to pieces, the elephant would do so with his irons, and then throw the pieces among the assembled multitude. But if the order was to leave him, he would be left lying before the emperor, until the skin should be taken off, and stuffed with hay, and the flesh given to the dogs.” – weirdasianews
Firefighters were called in to rescue two people after their home was invaded by giant hornets.
The couple were forced to barricade themselves in their bedroom after a large nest, which was filled with hundreds of the enormous flying insects, fell through the ceiling from the attic above.
The terrified pair ended up calling the fire brigade and had to be rescued by ladder through their bedroom window.
The incident took place in the UK where this particular species of hornet, which is from Asia, has only recently started to appear.
Measuring up to 6cm in length and with a stinger 6mm long, these giant wasp-like creatures are responsible for killing dozens of people every year and have been gradually making their way westwards since hitching a ride to France in a shipment of pottery from China back in 2004.
Last year 1,600 people were injured and 41 were killed by the insects in China’s Shaanxi province with similar figures reported in other parts of the country as well as in Japan. – maidenhead-advertisor
The Daily Mail paper reported “A pilot and his co-pilot have spotted a mysterious orange and red glow over the Pacific Ocean. The strange lights were spotted south of the Russian peninsula Kamchatka during the flight of a Boeing 747-8 from Hong Kong to Anchorage, Alaska. ‘Last night over the Pacific Ocean, somewhere South of the Russian peninsula Kamchatka I experienced the creepiest thing so far in my flying career,’ he said.”
Researchers discovered an engraving in Gorham’s Cave in Gibraltar that appears to have been made by Neanderthals more than 39,000 years ago. It’s pretty incredible.
The Utah arm of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) is analyzing video shot by an Ogden witness who captured multiple orbs “moving like a school of fish or birds” across the sky, according to testimony in Case 56393 from MUFON witness database.
The witness was outside watching the moon about 9 p.m. on May 15, 2014, when movement was noticed in the sky that first appeared to be a drone.
The witness uploaded one video with the MUFON report, which was filed on May 18, 2014. The video is currently being analyzed.

Ogden is a city in and the county seat of Weber County, population 82,825.
Utah State Director Erica Lukes is investigating. Utah has a current UFO Alert Rating of 5 with a low number of recent reports nationally. Utah had 4 UFO reports in August 2014 – the 38th highest reporting state – while California had 99 reports as the highest reporting state. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels – 1 through 5 – where states with 150 or more reports for the month are rated an Alert 1; states with 100 or more reports are rated an Alert 2; 25 reports or more for the month are rated an Alert 3; 13 or more reports are rated an Alert 4; and those states with less than 13 reports for the month are an Alert 5.
UFO researchers say UFO sightings are increasing in the state of Queensland in Australia. Recent sightings have included photos and video.
UFO Research Queensland President Sheryl Gottschall told the Brisbane Times there has been a spike in reports over the last few months. She says, “We get about 100 calls a year and across Australia all up the UFO research groups get up to 800. That’s just the reported sightings – a lot go unreported.”
Another representative from the Queensland UFO group agrees. In a radio interview with 4BC, Tino Pezzimenti says, “Only about 5% of reports or sightings actually get reported, so you can imagine. We get a couple hundred a year. That’s only probably 5% of people that actually find their way to reporting something to us.”

Pezzimenti says many of these are not just reports of lights in the sky. Some of the sightings come with photos or video.
The hosts of 4BC said they had heard many sightings are due to a large local event called the Royal Queensland Show, aka Ekka (referred to as “the exhibition” in the radio show). The event is Queensland’s largest annual event, attracting hundreds of thousands of guest from around the world. It includes farm animal, food, and strength competitions, among other events, and takes place in early August.
Pezzimenti admitted that many UFO reports are misidentifications. He cited a recent sighting in mid-July in which the police suggested the mysterious lights were actually due to the testing of the fairground lights in preparation for Ekka.
However, Pezzimenti says their organization is not quick to call everything a UFO. He explains, “To be a UFO it’s got to have to do something unusual or look unusual like this photograph, or it does a 90 degree turn, or it flies off faster than any jet we have ever heard and there’s not even a sonic boom.”
The photograph Pezzimenti refers to is a sighting he is particularly excited about. The photo was allegedly taken on Friday, May 23, 2014 in the Wooloowin area at 5:35 pm. It shows what appears to be a strange disk-shaped object in the sky.

Pezzimenti says the object does not appear to have engines or propellers. He says this kind of photographic evidence needs to be taken “pretty seriously.”
The image was posted on a Facebook page called Brisbane UFO Sightings, which was created recently for the founder of the page to post pictures of UFOs. Apparently, he or she captures them often. Other than the date, time, and location of the sighting, no other information is provided.
Other videos can be seen in the interview with 4BC and Pezzimenti, embedded in the Brisbane Times article.

The increase in sightings has lead to a local resident to begin holding skywatches. Kristy Buist, founder of the Paranormal Awareness Community, had her first skywatch scheduled for earlier this week.
Buist told the Brisbane Times she has had four sightings of her own. She described the first as, “platinum and sort of shaped like diamonds just casually floating across the sky”.
Now she says, “I do look for UFOs often. I look for them wherever I go.”
Brisbane Times says participants at the skywatch look for “‘unusual movement’ in the night sky, including ‘classic’ UFO moves such as bright lights travelling from one horizon to another in seconds or lights making sudden turns.”
Photos from the skywatch were posted on UFO Research Queensland’s Facebook page, but none of them include UFOs. However, as their Facebook page says, “Skywatching calls for a lot of patience and persistence.”
Both of which I am sure local researchers will continue to practice as they continue their quest for UFO evidence, which, incidentally, remains elusive despite the increased reports.
