New amazing video footage of a huge dark UFO sighting recorded in the sky above Chicago on 8th September 2014.

Witness said:
Was sitting in my usual spot on the side of my house. Did a little Ce5 Meditation and this Anomaly came floating by real slow. Now most people will say that’s a balloon. But that is where we are fooled because if you stop the video and magnify the object,you will see energy all around the Et Drone. date stamp and time wrong correct above.

Electronics go off as UFOs move over Georgia town

(Before It's News)

A Georgia witness at Loganville reported his cell phone, Internet and cable television reception failed during a sighting of “8 to 10 pulsating orbs” moving under 500 feet and less than 100 feet away, according to testimony in Case 59611 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was outside sitting on a deck when he had an “uneasy feeling” in his stomach just as the objects were first noticed about 10:30 p.m. on August 24, 2014.

The objects were casting light onto the ground level. Pictured: Loganville, Georgia. (Credit: Google)

“I noticed a flash of light out of the corner of my eye,” the witness stated. “When I looked in the direction of the flash there were 8 to 10 orb-like lights close to the tree top level doing what looked like figure 8’s around each other for about 10 to 15 minutes.”

The witness described lights on the objects.

“These orbs were casting light to the ground and I could see the shadows of the trees on the ground.”

But what was more disturbing at the time was the failure of three utilities.

“In the time the orbs were in my sight my cell phone would not work and my Internet and TV both went out. While watching the orbs the ‘uneasy’ feeling I had in my stomach went away and I had a sense of calm come over me. All I could do was stand there and look as the orbs slowly moved from east-northeast to west-southwest.”

The witness believes military helicopters were also in the area.

The sound of what the witness believed was a Blackhawk helicopter came into the area and seemed to be following the orbs. Pictured: Loganville, Georgia. (Credit: Google)

“If I had to guess they were moving at maybe 5 mph or slower. After about 5 minutes of the orbs leaving my sight there was the sound of what I believe was a Blackhawk helicopter following the orbs. I did not see the helicopter but they have a very distinct sound.”

Loganville is a city located in Walton County with a half portion of the city located in Gwinnett County, Georgia, population 10,458. Georgia MUFON is investigating. The above quotes were edited for clarity.

Georgia has a current UFO Alert Rating of 5 with a low number of recent reports nationally. Georgia had 12 UFO reports in August 2014 – the 16th 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.

Red Eyed Creatures

(Before It's News)

By Brian D. Birch – I am a ‘seventy-five’ year old, who not only has had close encounters with UFO’s but I came ‘face to face’ with two of the ‘occupants’ when I was aged ‘nineteen’.  Another ‘nut case’ many might remark (if not to my face rest assured) I have after all no witness to that encounter that took place here in the UK as my brother Dennis departed these shores to live in Australia in 1969. He would however attest to that which took place ten years earlier on the first Sunday of January 1959 because he shared that terrifying encounter with me. My family members are fully aware of what my brother Den and I experienced that traumatic early morning hour. Because I have reiterated that account of that ‘mind blowing’ experience countless times since. It happened at approximately 0200hrs when Den and I were en-route home along the A3 route from Portsmouth, on Dennis’s 125cc BSA Bantam motorcycle.  He had taken our younger brother, Rob back to his Royal Marine Barracks near Portsmouth. Both Rob and I were serving in the Royal Marines and our ‘two weeks’ Christmas leave had ‘overlapped’ one another’s by one week (his leave commencing one week prior to mine). I had taken Rob’s ‘railway warrant’ – which I was entitled to as a fellow Royal Marine – to meet both brothers at ‘Portsmouth and Southsea’ railway station, Dennis having taken Rob there on the pillion of his motorbike. My intention was to say ‘goodbye’ to Rob at the station and then to return home with Dennis.  I had little else to do and I welcomed the ride and the company.  I remember that neither brother was at the station when I arrived there and I had to wait some time before Den turned up. His motorbike had incurred a ‘front tyre’ puncture although I have a feeling that I was late arriving at Portsmouth and Southsea railway station through some delay or other.  When I at last met up with Den he told me that Rob had continued onward to his barracks as he had to be there by ‘three minutes to midnight’. Thus, I mounted the pillion of Den’s motorbike well after midnight and very soon we left Portsmouth far behind.  I remember that it was bitter cold and I clung behind my brother’s body to shield myself from that bitter cold air.  I wore only a light, ‘blue’ summer jacket and light ‘fawn’ summer trousers.  Aside from my uniform I possessed few civilian clothes. 

Thus we rode along the A3. I was silent, alone with thoughts of my own return to my RM barracks a week later.  Conversing was out of the question.  Even shouting loudly was ineffective in the slipstream as we sped along. The whole route was bereft of traffic and eventually we found ourselves riding around the perimeter of the ‘Devil’s Punchbowl’ at Hindhead.  At one point, as we were almost about to leave the the ‘Bowl behind, so Den suddenly steered the motorbike onto the grass and the engine cut.  “Problem?”  Dennis assured me there wasn’t a problem but that it was ‘a good spot to take a breather and to spend a penny!’  So we stood there on the swathe of grass overlooking the ‘deep bowl-shaped’ valley stretching away before us. The sounds of the wind and of the motorbike engine took several minutes to disperse from our ears and it was good to get some respite from that bitter cold wind. Then, as the ‘ghost’ sound of wind and engine dispersed, so we noticed a strange sound emanating from down in the Punchbowl itself.  A sound impossible to describe except maybe that it was almost ‘musical’ to the ears ‘like the asdic of a submarine and yet at the same time really nothing like it’. We had never heard such a weird sound before and there was nothing with which to otherwise compare it. Puzzled and exceedingly curious we elected to make our way down into the ‘Punchbowl’ to discover the source of that mysterious sound. 

There was an initial very steep slope of maybe ‘thirty feet’ or so that we were obliged to descend on our ‘backsides’. Then, with Den leading the way we were able to continue on downwards along a barely discernible but more gently descending track. How long we were making our way steadily deeper, I don’t know but we were quite a long way down there and to me the weird ‘musical sound’ was becoming ever more mysterious and much louder as we came closer to its ‘source’. Whats more, as we drew closer to that ‘source’ I developed a strong sense of ‘unease’ that persisted as we proceeded.  Soon afterwards Den stopped abruptly and turned to me to express that he had ‘a bad feeling’ and added “I think we should turn back!”  Looking back in the direction of whence we had come I could see that it we had in fact travelled an uncomfortable distance away and in hushed tones I readily agreed with my brother that maybe we should indeed turn back.  Literally at that precise moment, before we had even turned around, there came a sudden momentarily silence as that weird sound abruptly ceased. What occurred next is equally difficult to describe. There was a sound, almost like that of ‘displaced air’ I can explain it no better than that. Then, this ‘sound’ rose vertically into the air, very close to where we stood. We both dropped to the ground instinctively in an effort to silhouette the ‘object’ against that brilliant backdrop of stars but we saw nothing even though we were able to ‘follow’ the path of travel by the strange ‘sound’ it was emitting. It appeared to travel somehow away to our ‘right’ and then ‘swooped’ back around to head back towards us.

The terrific ‘crash’ that ensued as it struck the ground was deafening and ought to have been heard as far away as Guildford, my thoughts at that time! It had  me comparing it to that of a large airliner ‘crash landing’.  There then followed the distinct loud sound of scrub being ‘flattened’ in its path as it seemed to ‘skid’ along under the inertia of its descent and then to finally come to a stop some little distance, maybe ‘twenty to thirty feet’ in front of us. I clearly have, etched into my mind, a distinct memory of the noise of thin branches or scrub scraping along an obviously ‘metallic’ fuselage, followed by the final ‘scraping’ sound as that branch broke free.  A ‘flying object’ of some sort had come to a halt. I stood staring at the bushes from where the sound of that ‘crash landing’ had come. I (we) had seen ‘nothing’ and yet this ‘flying object’ by the very sound it made as it hit the ground indicated a large, exceedingly heavy if ‘invisible’ craft and in my head the word UFO was at the forefront. Then, almost immediately my attention was drawn to ‘something’ approaching us from the direction that the UFO had ‘landed’. I stared ahead, my mind struggling to believe what was actually taking place. Then ‘it’ emerged.  I will describe what we saw, as best to my memory as possible for I was overcome by a feeling of sheer terror. This figure stood some ‘eight to ten feet’ tall.  It appeared to ‘glide’ rather than to walk. It also appeared to be floating some ‘two feet’ or so off the ground.  It stopped in front of me, so close that I could have touched it. I was literally paralysed with fear, an adrenalin rush so great that it had an opposite effect and I stood there transfixed, unable to move. Then, a second figure identical to the first, ‘glided’ out from the same direction and stood to the left of the first one, as viewed from my position.  Both figures seemed to be ‘floating off the ground’ and had seemed to glide. The ‘body seemed composed of some sort of black material that was convoluted, with like lengthwise ‘folds’.  The ‘head’ was encased in an elongated glass helmet’ and where the eyes would be was a single, large round-shaped ‘green eye’ or light. Today I would liken it to a large LED (Light Emitting Diode) but I am not so sure such devices existed at that time. Mercifully (I felt) I could not see the features behind the ‘glass’ but I had an uncanny and distinct feeling that I would’t want to see behind the ‘glass’ anyway.

I am unable to clearly describe my feelings except for one thought within the sheer terror that overwhelmed me. ‘This cannot be happening, but it IS!’ Amazingly thoughts of ‘those in government would not believe what is happening to me right now but they are fast asleep in their bed’s and NOT here in this Punchbowl with me, seeing what I am seeing!’  I clearly recall those thoughts. I seem to remember something else, a ‘sickly odour’. Was this the ‘odour of fear’ or did it come from those two aliens? I truthfully do not know!  Such thoughts were fleeting, coming to me in a moment of utmost terror.  My second thought was of the sudden need to ‘look at another human being’ and almost in slow motion and with great concentration of effort I managed to turn my head ‘left’ to look at my brother.  Why ‘left’ when he had been standing on my ‘right?’  I’m at a loss to explain that one. The two aliens stood a mere ‘few feet’ away, within touching distance. Utilising all my concentration I slowly, so very slowly and ‘mechanically’ managed to turn my head to look upon my brother. A second shock now struck me as I saw that I was standing there alone. The shock of this realisation galvanised my hitherto ‘paralysed’ body into sudden ‘action’ and turning my body to face the direction that I was facing, for the thought came to me that if I looked back at them again I would not escape.  I then ran! That headlong, terror-stricken flight was like a nightmare in itself because I was expecting to be seized from behind.  My thought was that I would surely not be allowed to escape after what I had just witnessed. I had no sense of direction at all, I remember only that my one and only desperate thought was to put as much distance between me and ‘them’ and as possible.  I ran, seemingly blindly and I could plainly hear high pitched screaming as I ran. Those screams seemed to be apart from me but may well have come from me, I truly don’t know!  All I remember was that headlong, panic-stricken flight as ‘running in a nightmare’ and the full expectancy that I would ‘not be allowed to escape’.  The next image as I ran so blindly was of finding myself inexplicably at the base of the ‘thirty foot’ steep incline that we had initially descended.  How did I, in that panic-stricken flight manage to find my way back to where we had descended into the Punch Bowl?  I was and am unable to explain that one either.

There, ahead of me and scrambling up that steep incline was my brother. I had ‘caught up’ with him and in later years he told me that he was on a ‘rise’ before reaching that incline and that when he looked back to check that I was with him he saw to his horror, that I was still standing at the original spot with two aliens clearly seen towering over me.  By the time he had scaled that steep incline, I had caught him up.  He must have seen me but seconds before I had turned and fled.  As a very fit, young Royal Marine and at the same time ‘fuelled’ with sheer panic, I can answer that one quite clearly.  As we feverishly tried to climb that steep incline so we would slip back down a ‘foot’ for every ‘three’ we made upwards.  Eventually we made the top.  Den mounted his motorbike, ‘kick started’ it and I leapt onto the pillion and away we sped in great haste.  Even as we rode at speed along that road I was half expecting to be seized and pulled off that motor-bike and I clung tenaciously, my arms around my brother’s waist. I remember that just before we reached the city of Guildford, eleven miles on, Den pulled over and cut the engine.  A tall, long ash fence lay close to us and against this we dropped onto our haunches unable to believe what had happened and how we had escaped a ‘fate worse than death’.  I remember nothing more after collapsing against that fence.  I haven memory of arriving home, not even of the rest of my leave.  I do not to this day remember returning to my barracks nor of the intense training that followed.  I have hitherto told no one outside of the family of our experience at the Punchbowl that ‘never to be forgotten’ night. 

Strangely, I never forgave my brother for ‘deserting’ me down there.  For three years I had no contact with him. Then, I heard that my brother was in an Isolation Hospital at Feltham, where he lived and that he was in a ‘serious condition’.  Dennis had contracted ‘Hepatitis C’ and relenting, I went to visit him. What I saw shocked me and totally melted my anger.  Den looked like a ‘skeleton’ with ‘yellow skin’ drawn over it.  He was badly jaundiced and had almost died.  A priest had closed his eyes when Den suddenly opened them and the nurse had screamed.  It had been a very ‘close call’.  It was ‘years’ later that Den explained that he had thought I was behind him when he ran.  That only on reaching high ground had he turned to look back and saw that I was not with him but was standing there still with those two ‘beings’ towering over me.  His only thought then was to ‘escape and to report what had happened’.  Luckily for me that I managed to ‘just’ catch him up before he’d gained the top of that steep incline, above which his motorbike was parked.  It was all of ‘thirty miles’ journey back to where I lived.  Besides, poor Den would no doubt have been taken for psychiatric observation.  OR charged with possible ‘murder’ associated with my ‘disappearance’.  Do I believe in ‘aliens?’ DO I WHAT?  Oh yes, ‘they’ exist for sure!  You won’t find them when you are in the pub, watching TV or fast asleep in your bed, although I must hesitate here because I have since read of abductions of hitherto sleeping persons. There was something else that is relevant to this true story. When I finally talked with Dennis and asked him outright “why did you desert me down there?’  He told me “it was those small creatures with red eyes that had almost formed a circle around you”. There were hundreds of them.  I never thought I would see you again!”  I had not seen these ‘red eyed’ creatures but then, I had not been looking back!

Many years later, on desolate Dartmoor in Devonshire, late one night, on the Northern Moor out of Okehampton, was a strange arc of brilliant white light. Another brother, Jim and his teenage son and daughter were with us.  We decided to look closer at this strange arc of bright white light behind a high rocky Tor. The road to that part of the Moor was narrow, too narrow to ‘reverse turn’ and so would necessitate continuing a few miles further to the tiny ’roundabout’ or ‘doughnut’ to come back on ourselves.  After driving along this narrow road, flanked on either side by a steep ‘drop’ onto a boulder strewn moor for some miles, I began to feel a strong sense of apprehension, a strange feeling of danger, my sixth sense at work!  This feeling had barely been with me for long when brother Jim suggested that we should ‘turn back’ because he ‘felt it was dangerous to continue’. However, I had spotted something else, something that made my heart race. I saw literally ‘hundreds if not thousands’ of ‘pairs of red eyes’.  Those ‘red eyes’  did not belong to animals because no animal was capable of such speed and able to traverse that boulder-strewn terrain and the deep craters littering the North Moor, especially at night, besides which the number of those pairs of ‘red eyes’ was vast. My blood ran cold as I remembered what Den had seen at the Punch Bowl, ‘red eyes’ exactly what we were seeing there now on that Moor.  And without doubt were seeking to surround us.  Keeping my mounting panic and concern to myself I heard Jim again express his concern at continuing and I responded with mounting anger due to fear and frustration that I could not ‘bloody well turn around’ as the road was far too narrow and too high above the moor for the wheels to reach the ground once the wheels left the road. I felt that we had no choice but to continue on to that small ’roundabout’ or ‘doughnut’ that I estimated was about ‘four’ miles further on. I was driving a Mk 1600 1 Ford Consul and brother Jim asked to get out to ‘see if there was a place we do a reverse turn’.  All too soon he called out “here Bri, you can reverse here!”  I replied “are you sure Jim?”  I had doubts, in that the ‘drop’ appeared to be too deep. He assured me that it was ‘okay’.  The rapidly moving ‘red eyes’ had by now spread out ahead of us, crossed over the road and having split into two vast ‘groups’ either side of that road, both were rushing speedily in our direction as if to encircle us. Where had I heard this before?  It was Dennis and the Punch Bowl saga all over again. Thousands of them it seemed to me to be.  Now I knew it was vital that we escaped. The memory of the Punch Bowl left little doubt in my mind as to what those ‘red eyes’ were,’what’ they belonged to. Trying hard to control the fast rising panic within me I shakily expressed my doubts that the ‘drop’ was too deep and would plant the car on it’s chassis before the wheels contacted the ground.  “No, it’s okay!”  Jim’s words were hardly convincing but by now close to panic myself I drove slowly, turning the steering wheel ‘hard over’ to greatly effect the reverse turn and trusting Jim’s ‘observation’ I put the gear into reverse and backed the car slowly off the road.  A sudden ‘crash’ ensued and the wheels, it was rear wheel drive, spun above the surface of the ground.  We were now completely trapped and helpless!  Jim and Jimmy got out of the car and went to the rear. Christine was sitting behind me as her Dad and brother were trying to lift the car back onto the road, without success. 

I had seldom experienced such fear as I sat there helplessly watching those rapidly speeding ‘entities’ that would soon have encircled and been upon us. No one else in my car had as yet seen them. Jim and his son were trying to lift the rear of that 1600cc Ford Consul back onto the road.  Jim was a brawny, a strong fellow but all that he and his son achieved was to ‘lift’ the car only so far a little way ‘off’ its suspension. The wheels however remained firmly on the ground. The idea fleetingly entered my head to get out and to run those ‘nine miles’ back to Okehampton, but how when those ‘things’ were so fleetingly fast?  Besides which, I couldn’t leave Christine and whatever happened we were not capable of travelling ‘nine miles’ on foot to escape those rapidly speeding ‘beings’. Then as Jim was trying without success to lift the car, so Christine suddenly glanced over to her ‘right’; saw the hundreds of ‘red eyes’ pouring like a flood down that sloping terrain towards us, screamed loudly “What are those? What are those?” Her loud scream signalled for the movement of the car on it’s springs to momentarily cease, obviously Jim had paused to see what had frightened his daughter. This was then followed by the sudden and unbelievable lifting of the car bodily in such a way as to slew it around at the same time so that it was facing our escape route out of there.  Jim and Jimmy dived into the car and opening the throttle I drove out of that place like the proverbial ‘bat out of Hell’.  I could scarcely believe our lucky escape.  It is said that fear can induce enormous ‘reserves’ of strength in a crisis and that is what happened with Jim. 

I drove as fast as was safely possible on that narrow road that night and upon reaching the top of a hill, some ‘mile or two’ further on, I stopped the car, engine left running, got out and looked back, Jim likewise.  For several seconds we saw nothing but then, there they were, those two vast swarms of ‘red eyes’ pursuing us, on both sides of that road.  I don’t exaggerate their numbers, to me that seemed to run in ‘hundreds if not thousands’.  They ‘appeared’ to me to be small in stature, that was my impression because it was dark. They certainly travelled at speed over a very dangerous and rough terrain with many deep ‘craters’ and strewn boulders.  After about ‘five’ stops, atop a hill (a precaution in the event that the car stalled and would not re start we would coast down).  Each time we stopped and looked back so a ‘minute or so would pass then suddenly, there they were, continuing their pursuit of us.  On the ‘last’ hill I was able to see the lights of ‘Okehampton’ ahead of us, on our ‘right’.  We stopped here and again looked back.  This time however we saw nothing more of those ‘red eyed creatures’. 

Dear reader, whether you believe my true narrative I leave with you. I can but sincerely express that it happened as I have recorded it.  As a ‘reluctant’ ufologist I have written of this ‘alien encounter’ quite some time ago, it was not published on the site I sent it to, neither was it even acknowledged.  I wrote it out of sincere interest and possibly in the hope of eliciting a similar experience from others who maybe experienced an ‘extra terrestrial’ identical to mine. For what it’s worth I have made ‘pilgrimage’ to that same area several times since, without ‘success’ except for two occasions when I heard that same ‘musical sound ‘fly’ over not so far overhead, just above tree height in fact. Nothing was visible although the sound indicated it had passed over the top of the tall pine trees through which our path led. ‘My’ car (borrowed from my younger brother) was parked some ‘half mile’ away at a car-park off the A3 and unable to contain my excitement as my brother said to me “Brian, I have never doubted your story but hearing that sound for myself, well it is certainly not of this World!”  I suggested we return to the car, have a much needed coffee to steady our nerves, grab the portable ‘excuse for a tape-recorder’ (a ‘tinny’ Woolworth job) and endeavour to capture that weird sound”.  We made it to the car-park and to the coffee when suddenly brilliant lights lit up the car from behind.  A rap on the window and I saw a policeman accompanied by a ‘special’.  I wound the window down.  He asked “what are you doing here?”  My short ‘fuse’ at this offensive intrusion along with my irate words to the effect that it was a ‘free country’ and to ‘clear off’ (well, ‘clear’ was not exactly the word I used ) did not go down well because a second patrol car arrived and my brother and I were handcuffed and incarcerated in separate cells at Godalming Police Station. How could we ‘explain’ that we were ‘UFO hunting?  The police cells that we spent six hours in being infinitely the better alternative to a mental hospital! 

This incarceration was due to the ‘copper’ opening the boot of the car and discovering a ‘twelve bore’ shotgun that I had placed there, intending to shoot rabbits the following morning.  I was accused of being ‘Harry Roberts’ (the guy who had shot a policeman dead, although this man was already in police custody in 1966).  Raymond and I were released at 0600hrs the following morning, without charge!  I have had other experiences of UFO’s one of which was no rest distance away out at sea off Brighton in Sussex. It made no sound, gave the undoubted impression of being immense in size, and moved slowly and silently just above the sea, emerging from a fog bank on the West side to vanish silently into the fog bank on the East side. It was followed then by a second, identical ‘saucer shaped UFO’ with a ‘bee hive’ like dome on top and ‘small’ portholes’ around the circumference of the body. Time being 0500hrs. I had been sea-fishing at the time of the occurrence. I also had a frightening experience whilst under canvas at that same seaside resort of Brighton. But that, as they say, is another story!

UFO Hunter Says Council Should Embrace Aliens

(Before It's News)

Over the past century, Scarborough’s tourism trade has been dominated by holidaymakers hellbent on fish, chips and seafront strolls.

But if Scarborough Council want visitors to keep flocking to the coast, it should put less emphasis on buckets and spades – and instead focus on little green men.

That’s at least the view of local alien hunter Russ Kellett, who feels the authority is missing out on the “goldmine” that is UFO tourism.

He claims the borough is a hotbed for close encounters, and in paranormal circles, is as synonymous with flying saucers as it is with donkey rides.

“There’s more going on with UFOs in Scarborough than in Roswell,” said Filey’s Russ, who claims he was once abducted by ‘wetsuit’ clad 9ft aliens.

“We have some really famous UFO sightings around here, and if I was the council I would have banners up saying ‘Welcome to the British UFO capital’.”

Several American extra terrestrial hotspots have recently began peddling UFO tourism to stargazers in a bid to bring in extra revenue.

While it’s currently an alien concept to tourism boards in this country, Mr Kellett feels it could prove lucrative should the council pursue it.

And with the authority’s recent tourism roadmap revealing an extra three million visitors a year are wanted in Scarborough over the next decade, the man behind that report said he will “look at anything” if it benefits the borough.

And Cllr David Chance feels it raises a legitimate point that the council should think outside the box if the borough is to remain a tourist magnet.

“UFOs are not something I’ve thought about but we are always looking at innovative schemes,” said the cabinet member. “We won’t discount anything.”

However, the council seemed less receptive to the idea, with a spokesperson adding: “Our tourism strategy concentrates on a number of key themes and target markets.

“But this particular area of interest isn’t one of them.”

‘Meteorite’ Smashes Into Nicaraguan Capital

(Before It's News)

Managua (AFP) – A mysterious explosion that rocked Nicaragua’s crowded capital Managua, creating a large crater, appears to have been caused by a small meteorite, officials said Sunday.

Amazingly, in a sprawling city of 1.2 million people, the impact near the international airport did not cause any known injuries, but it did leave a crater measuring 12 meters (39 feet) across and was felt throughout the capital late on Saturday.

Nicaraguan authorities believe it was a piece of the small asteroid dubbed “2014 RC,” which passed very close to Earth on Sunday and was estimated by astronomers to be about 20 meters big, or the size of a house.

“We are convinced that this was a meteorite. We have seen the crater from the impact,” said Wilfredo Strauss of the Seismic Institute.

The meteorite appeared to have hurtled into a wooded area near the airport around midnight and the hit was so large that it registered on the instruments Strauss’s organization uses to size up earthquakes.

“You can see two waves: first, a small seismic wave when the meteorite hit earth, and then another stronger one, which is the impact of the sound,” he said.

Government officials and experts visited the impact site on Sunday.

One of them, William Martinez, said it was not yet clear if the meteorite burned up completely or if it had been blasted into the soil.

“You can see mirror-like spots on the sides of the crater from where the meteorite power-scraped the walls,” Martinez said.

Government spokeswoman, First Lady Rosario Murillo, said Managua would be in contact with the US Geological Service to try to get more information about “this fascinating event” in the Central American nation, one of Latin America’s poorest countries.

People who live near the crater told local media they heard a blast they took for an explosion, and that liquid, sand and dust were blown through the air, which smelled like something had burned.

There were no reported injuries because the impact was in a wooded spot, and flights at the airport were not affected.

NASA said last week that the asteroid 2014 RC, at the time of closest approach, would be approximately one-tenth the distance from the center of Earth to the moon, or about 25,000 miles (40,000 kilometers).

It had been projected to be roughly over New Zealand at the time of its closest approach, which astronomers had calculated would be on Sunday at about 1818 GMT.

Small meteorite leaves 40ft wide crater in Nicaragua

A small meteorite landed near the international airport in the Nicaraguan capital, Managua, on Saturday night, government officials say.

Residents reported hearing a loud bang and feeling the impact, which left a crater 12m (40ft) wide and 5m deep.

Government spokeswoman Rosario Murillo said the meteorite seemed to have broken off an asteroid which was passing close to Earth.

She said international experts had been called in to investigate further.

No-one was hurt when it hit the wooded area near the international airport and an air force base.

An adviser to Nicaragua’s Institute of Earth Studies (Ineter), Wilfried Strauch, said he was “convinced it was a meteorite” which caused the impact.

Experts studying the crater said it was not clear whether the meteorite had disintegrated upon impact or had been blasted into soil.

Locals said they heard a large blast just before midnight local time and reported a burning smell.

“We thought it was a bomb because we felt an expansive wave,” Jorge Santamaria told Associated Press news agency.

Ineter scientist Jose Millan said that “we need to celebrate the fact that it fell in an area where, thank God, it didn’t cause any danger to the population”.

Managua, which has more than a million inhabitants is densely populated.

“All the evidence that we’ve confirmed at the site corresponds exactly with a meteorite and not with any other type of event,” he said.

“We have the seismic register which coincides with the time of impact, and the typical characteristic that it produces a cone in the place of impact,” he added.

Astronomer Humberto Saballos said the meteorite could have broken off from the 2014RC asteroid which passed Earth at the same time.

2014RC, which is the size of a house, came closest to earth at 18:18 GMT on Sunday, when it passed over New Zealand at a distance of about 40,000km (25,000 miles).

The asteroid was first discovered on 31 August and, at its closest approach, was about one-tenth of the distance from the centre of Earth to the Moon, Nasa said in a statement.

It is expected to orbit near Earth again in the future.

In February 2013, a meteorite exploded over Chelyabinsk in Central Russia, injuring more than 1,000 people.

Nasa currently tracks more than 11,000 asteroids in orbits that pass relatively close to Earth. – AP

‘Jack the Ripper’ Identity Discovered?

It is one of the world’s greatest murder mysteries which has baffled investigators for more than a century.

But now an author and self confessed “armchair detective” claims to have solved perhaps the most notorious whodunit ever, and discovered who Jack the Ripper was.

Russell Edwards claims Aaron Kosminski, a 23 year-old Polish immigrant who ended up dying in an asylum, was “definitely, categorically and absolutely” the man behind the grisly killing spree in 1888 in London’s East End.

Mr Edwards said a blood-stained shawl he bought in 2007 after an auction in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, held vital DNA evidence which led him to the killer.

Naming Jack the Ripper

He said: “I’ve got the only piece of forensic evidence in the whole history of the case. I’ve spent 14 years working on it, and we have definitively solved the mystery of who Jack the Ripper was.

“Only non-believers that want to perpetuate the myth will doubt. This is it now – we have unmasked him.”

Jack the Ripper murdered at least five women, slashing their throats, removing some of their internal organs and leaving their mutilated bodied in Whitechapel’s darkened alleyways.

Mr Edwards, 48, from Barnet, north London, was “captivated” by the murder mystery and had been investigating it in his spare time, but had come to the conclusion it could never be solved.

But then in 2007 he saw a shawl found by the body of Catherine Eddowes, one of the Ripper’s victims, was up for sale.

He bought it, and enlisted the help of Jari Louhelainen, an expert in molecular biology, who used pioneering techniques to find DNA from her blood and that of the killer.

He said: “Here I am with the shawl and possibly the evidence to solve the most unsolvable murder in English criminal history. But where do I start? That was the big question.

“I enlisted the help of Jari and we embarked on a three-and-a-half year journey.

“When we discovered the truth it was the most amazing feeling of my entire life.”

Mr Edwards said the discovery 126 years after the murders proves beyond doubt that Kosminski – one of the six key suspects commonly cited as the Ripper – was the actual killer.

He said the shawl had been taken by acting Sergeant Amos Simpson, who was on duty the night of Eddowes’s death and wanted it for his wife.

But horrified at the blood-soaked wrap, she never wore it, and it was stored away and passed down through the generations until it came to auction seven years ago.

Mr Edwards said: “Thank God the shawl has never been washed, as it held the vital evidence.”

The author, who said he was part-inspired to take up the search for the killer after watching the Johnny Depp film From Hell about the Ripper murders, said police had identified Kosminski as a suspect, but never had enough evidence to bring him to trial.

Kosminski was a Polish Jewish immigrant who, fleeing persecution in his Russia-controlled homeland, came with his family to England in 1881 and lived in Mile End Old Town.

He was admitted to a string of lunatic asylums, where he died in 1899 of gangrene in the leg.

Prahlad Jani claims he’s had no need for food or water, for 65 Years

“I feel no need for food and water,” states Prahlad Jani, a seventy-six year old Indian ascetic who lives in a cave near the Ambaji temple in the state of Gujarat. Mr. Jani claims that he has not had food or fluids to drink for the last sixty-five years. At the age of seven years he left home in search of spiritual unfoldment. Jani states that at the age of eleven years he was blessed by a goddess. He claims that since that blessing he has gained his sustenance from nectar that filters down through a hole in his palate, and has not passed urine or stools since then. Mr. Jani explained, “I get the elixir of life from the hole in my palate, which enables me to go without food and water.” Almost daily Mr. Jani enters a state of Samadhi characterized by extreme bliss and enormous light and strength. He says that he has never experienced medical problems. He says that he did not speak for a period of forty-five years.

In November 2003, after over a year of coaxing, Prahlad Jani was finally persuaded to participate in a scientific research study. A medical research team of twenty-one specialists, headed by Dr. Sudhir V. Shah, had Mr. Jani under twenty-four hours of observation for ten days at the Sterling Hospital in Ahmedabad. The team’s research expertise included cardiology, neurology, urology, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, renal function, pulmonary function, ENT analysis, psychiatry, general medicine, and other specialities. A series of investigations were done on Mr. Jani in each of these areas according to a pre-determined protocol, and additional tests were carried out as per suggestions of the team. At the conclusion of their intensive investigations the team’s doctors were left with an unexplained mystery, unable to disprove Mr. Jani’s claims. Read more at psychedelicadventure

Life began on Earth much earlier than thought

Scientists have determined that oxygen-producing life forms appeared around 3 billion years ago.

Based on the work of researchers at Trinity College Dublin and Presidency University in Kolkata, the discovery suggests that oxygen-producing organisms responsible for making it possible for more complex life forms to evolve first appeared on Earth 60 million years earlier than previously believed.

The discovery was made by measuring uranium-lead isotope decay in the rocks to find evidence of oxygen-based soil formation.

“This is a very exciting finding, which helps to fill a gap in our knowledge about the evolution of the early Earth,” said study lead author Quentin Crowley.

“This paleosol from India is telling us that there was a short-lived pulse of atmospheric oxygenation and this occurred considerably earlier than previously envisaged.”

While micro-organisms certainly existed earlier than 3 billion years ago, it wasn’t until this time that some of them evolved the ability to produce oxygen through photosynthesis. Read more at IBN Live

Are aliens attacking our nuclear arsenal? ‘Unexplained Files’ explores this Tuesday

(Before It's News)

Science Channel is set to explore a highly debated topic within the field of UFO research. Are extraterrestrial civilizations trying to shut down our nuclear weapons? This Tuesday, on The Unexplained Files, hear from retired USAF officer Robert Salas, Paul Stonehill, and others.

A release from Science Channel explains, “From the U.S. to Great Britain and Russia, senior military personnel worldwide have witnessed strange UFOs over nuclear installations. In some instances they have reported that all nuclear warheads became inoperable when the UFOs are overhead. In this all new episode of THE UNEXPLAINED FILES, former military officers believe the U.S. government and others know the answer, and aren’t revealing all they know to the public.”

The all new episode of The Unexplained Files airs this Tuesday, September 9th at 10 PM ET/PT on Science Channel.

Witness records UFO over Lake Havasu City (VIDEO)

(Before It's News)

A witness captured video of a strange light in the sky over Lake Havasu City, Arizona on the evening of July 14, 2014.

The unidentified light hovers in the sky, then slowly descends into what the witness surmises is SARA Park in the southeastern park of the city. Although the witness states that the object changes color, that behavior is not apparent in the video.

Local paper Today’s News-Herald says that “no reports of alien activity or strange aircraft have been reported at SARA Park on July 13 or the following days.” But Dennis Freyermuth, chief investigator for the Phoenix Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) is investigating the sighting. The paper explains that Freyermuth could not confirm any aircraft activity in the area on the evening in question. And, unfortunately, he has not been able to locate any additional witnesses. Even the four witnesses who were present when the video was recorded have been “unavailable.”

Because no other witnesses reported the light in the sky, Freyermuth believes that, if others observed the UFO, they “knew what it was and paid no attention to it.”

“Right now I have no other supporting evidence other than this video clip and (the recorder’s) statements,” he told the paper.  “I can’t come up with anything else to verify something unusual . . . Based on my observation it doesn’t look like an E.T. event.”

According to Freyermuth, Phoenix MUFON, which covers all of Arizona, typically receives fifteen to twenty-five UFO sighting reports each month. But he cautiously points out that ninety-five percent of those sightings can be explained.

Researcher calls for UFO investigation group in Australia

(Before It's News)

A researcher believes Australia needs a dedicated civilian group tasked with investigating UFOs.

The idea was proposed by longtime UFO researcher Keith Basterfield at the recent Victorian UFO action conference in Victoria, Australia. He stated, “At the moment we have no idea of what UFO reports are being made around Australia . . . I would like to see somebody take that up again.”

Basterfield started researching unexplained aerial phenomena in the 1960s, and has been involved with multiple UFO research groups including the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) and the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO). The Herald Sun reports that Basterfield suggests modeling Australia’s national response unit after MUFON and GEIPAN, a unit of the French Space Agency charged with investigating UFOs.

“The role of the team would be to receive a case, fly there, interview the witnesses, take samples, document their findings, analyse it and publish it for us all to look at,” he explains. “It is possible for us to do that.”

At the sold-out Victorian UFO action conference, Basterfield also proposed a three-day symposium dedicated to the still-unidentified 1966 Westall UFO incident, a case in which hundreds of students, staff, and nearby residents watched a UFO hover, land, and quickly fly away. A weather balloon was recently offered as a potential explanation for the incident. But witnesses and attendees at the recent conference questioned this assertion. Basterfield explained, “I know of at least one Australian researcher who is sitting on some very detailed information about this case supplied by an informant and I would like to see them invited to share the knowledge with us all.”

There is significant UFO activity in Australia, with several interesting sightings regularly reported in the media. Recently, the head of a UFO research group in Queensland reported a spike in UFO reports in the past few months. “We get about 100 calls a year and across Australia all of the UFO research groups get up to 800,” she explained. “That’s just the reported sightings – a lot go unreported.”

Basterfield believes that establishing a quick response team to investigate UFO sightings across Australia within hours of them being reported would greatly aid in identifying and better understanding the active UFO presence over Australia.

Britain’s Area 51; What Really Happened at Rendlesham Forest ?

(Before It's News)

So Who were the Aliens at the Rendlesham? Were they the scions of man, Advanced perhaps a million years or so? Or were they visitors from another world?

The Rendlesham Forest incident is the name given to a series of reported sightings of unexplained lights and the alleged landing of a craft or multiple craft of unknown origin in Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, England, in late December 1980, just outside RAF Woodbridge, used at the time by the U.S. Air Force. Dozens of USAF personnel were eyewitnesses to various events over a two- or three-day period. It is the most famous UFO event to have happened in Britain,[1] ranking amongst the best-known UFO events worldwide. Along with the Berwyn Mountain UFO incident, it has been compared to the Roswell UFO incident in the United States, and is sometimes referred to as “Britain’s Roswell”.[2]

The Ministry of Defense (MoD) denied the event posed any threat to national security, and stated that it was therefore never investigated as a security matter. Later evidence indicated that there was a substantial MoD file on the subject, which led to claims of a cover-up; some interpreted this as part of a larger pattern of information suppression concerning the true nature of unidentified flying objects, by both the United States and British governments (see the UFO conspiracy theory).

One person to take this view was eyewitness and Deputy Base Commander Colonel Charles Halt (see below). Another was former NATO head and UK Chief of the Defence Staff Lord Peter Hill-Norton, who stated whatever happened at this USAF base was necessarily of national security interest. However, when the file was released in 2001 it turned out to consist mostly of internal correspondence and responses to inquiries from the public.

Sceptics note that the lack of any in-depth investigation in the publicly released documents is consistent with the MoD’s earlier statement that they never took the case seriously.[3][4] Included in the released files is an explanation given by defence minister Lord Trefgarne as to why the MoD did not investigate further.[5] The sightings have been explained as misinterpretation of a series of nocturnal lights – a fireball, the Orford Ness lighthouse and bright stars.[6] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendlesham_Forest_incident.

Witness said:
Round quiet quick smooth fast turning object with red blue and white lights then disappears into sky heading north.Outback in Mira Mesa, taking the dog out, then there’s this blue object in sky and it turned quicker and sharper than any other plane or helicopter I’ve seen. It came towards my house, it was about 2-4 houses away, north of me, and then I saw all blue, red, and white lights. There was a helicopter in the sky south of me and they are loud. We thought it was a flying droid thing like Amazon has been talking about but when we ran to front of house to see it better, it disappeared within seconds and never came back.
