UFO Sighting Orb Triangles in Breckenridge, Colorado in October 2014
UFO Sighting Orb Triangles in Breckenridge, Colorado in October 2014
On October 3, 2014, hundreds of people in Breckenridge, Colorado, reported seeing strange, white, orbs of lights hovering in the sky. The orbs hovered in the same general area for over three hours, at times moving into a triangle formation. These exact same “orb triangle” UFOs are appearing all over the world.

A Kansas witness at Valley Center has submitted a photo of two UFOs taken by a friend that is “amazingly clear,” according to testimony in Case 60432 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
“I got this picture from a friend that took it,” the reporting witness stated. “The orb is the first thing you see and then to the left you notice a triangle-shaped thing.”

“The picture is amazingly clear. There is even some sort of designs on the ship that are visible.”
Valley Center is a city in Sedgwick County, Kansas, population 6,822. Kansas MUFON is investigating. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Kansas has a current UFO Alert Rating of 5 with a low number of recent reports nationally. Kansas had 7 UFO reports in August 2014 – the 31st 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.
HICKSON: Right, and when I try to forget, I can’t do it, you know, I'm compelled to do something and I do it.
WHAT PUTS YOU BACK ON TRACK?
ADVERTISEMENT
HICKSON: Well, it’s just…I just get on pins and needles…I get upset, I won’t eat, I can’t sleep. It’s just something that compels me to get back on what I’m doing.
GIVE ME A SPECIFIC EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU DO TO GET OFF TRACK AND THEN WHAT YOU DO TO GET RID OF THOSE FEELINGS?
HICKSON: Well, when I get a feeling like that, that I’m not doing right, that I’m wrong, I’ll just go off by myself somewhere. If nothing else, I’ll go over on the tree farm, back to the woods and sit down, and I’ll just begin to realize that I have a mission to do, that I have to do it. I get at peace with myself again. And I come on back and get back to doing these things again.
DOING WHAT THINGS?
HICKSON: This is why I know that it’s meant for me to tell people and to go and talk to people. A lot of times I’ll maybe get telephone calls, they want me to come to a college or university somewhere and lecture. Well, maybe I don’t want to go, maybe I just say I can’t go, you know, I’ve got this to do, I just can’t take the time, I don’t have the finances. I’ll put them off, well then it just–it bugs me–it’s on me until I just have to call them up and tell them I’ll do it. Then I’m at peace then. That’s an example, see.
YOU’VE MENTIONED THAT YOU’VE HAD A CHANCE TO SELL THE RIGHTS FOR A BOOK OR TO THE MOVIES AND PROBABLY MAKE SOME PRETTY GOOD MONEY, BUT YOU DECIDED NOT TO DO THAT.
HICKSON: Yeah. See, you know, anybody needs finances to live on. Well, I had my health, and I’ve always been able to make a livelihood for my family, you know, we’ve had hard times like everybody else on different occasions. I can’t see something like this–now I couldn’t have done it, I guess if I wanted to I’d been compelled not to by a stronger force, I think. But if you believe in something as strongly as I do, to throw it out there to people or the public, something that’s going to affect their lives, not only yours, in time to come, and throw something out there that’ll make me rich, you know, I don’t believe in that…I could have made a lot of money, thrown something out there that would have been partly fiction, with the big buildup and everything else, but what purpose has that done? I mean, it just can’t happen that way…The knowledge that I’m beginning to learn now and to understand now, I wouldn’t have gained that knowledge, something would have been wrong, I think that knowledge wouldn’t have been coming to me, It would have been taken away from me.
YOU’D HAVE BEEN UNCHOSEN.
HICKSON: That’s right. It was a hard decision for a human being to make, but I want to see it through to the end.
YOU’VE MADE A REFERENCE—ALMOST LIKE A BIBLICAL REFERENCE–TO 12 CHOSEN PEOPLE.
HICKSON: I think the world will begin to see at the end of this year, you’ll see 12 people emerging that’ll carry on a crusade and let the world know what’s going to happen.
ANY SPECIFIC REASON WHY IT’S THE NUMBER 12?
HICKSON: I don’t know.
HOW DO YOU KNOW IT’S 12?
HICKSON: This has been–this has been told to me. I won’t elaborate any further on it right now…when the time comes, I will. I’m gaining knowledge now that I can’t fully understand myself yet…I don’t know where I’m going, I don’t know.
HAVE YOU MET ALL 12 OF THESE OTHER PEOPLE OR DO ALL OF THEM EVEN EXIST RIGHT NOW?
HICKSON: I don’t know. I do know I will, though.
HAVE YOU MET ANY OF THEM?
HICKSON: I don’t know. I probably have, but I don’t know. It’s a lot for a man to have to live with and keep his sanity and try to live a normal life. It’s a lot for a man to have to do.
YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE ONE OF THEM.
HICKSON: I know that to be a fact.
SINCE YOU MADE THAT REVELATION, IT WOULD SEEM LIKE, IF THERE WERE ANOTHER ONE, THAT HE (OR SHE) MIGHT HAVE WANTED TO TELL YOU, OR YOU MIGHT WANT TO TELL HIM–
HICKSON: Well, I think when the time comes, you know, we’ll be aware of it then. There’s a lot of things going to happen this year, a lot of strange things are going to happen this year.
CAN YOU GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE I CAN CATEGORIZE–SOMETHING STRANGE WITH THE WEATHER, THE WORLD POLITICAL SITUATION?
HICKSON: (He ponders for a long moment.) Well, let’s wait till another time.
HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT CERTAIN THINGS? IS IT A FEELING?
HICKSON: Well, it’s a feeling, it’s a terrible feeling, it’s very hard to explain. I’ve even tried to even get started talking about it, and I just can’t do it. It’s just a feeling that I’m not supposed to talk about it. I can’t compel myself to do it. And I need to find out why, I need to know about these things. Maybe it’s not time. Evidently, it’s not time for me to talk about it.
BUT YOU HAVE A FEELING WHEN IT IS, YOU’LL KNOW?
HICKSON: Yes. Oh yes.
(THE DISCUSSION TURNS TO THE RIVERBANK ABDUCTION.)
HICKSON: Inside of there (the craft) there was so much light in there, It seemed to me it was glowing from the walls, the overhead, and the floor and I was just in the center of it. Made me feel like I was in an electric light bulb or something, you know. There was three or four days that my eyes was something like I’d had a bad welding flash. They were that way for a few days, and I believe the light done that, I don’t know.
YOU COULD NOT CLOSE YOUR EYES DURING THE TIME INSIDE THE CRAFT? YOU COULDN’T BLINK?
HICKSON: I couldn’t dose my eyes. I couldn’t blink. I could move them but I couldn’t blink. If I could’ve closed them, I’d have closed them against that light. I have a feeling for some reason they wanted me to see, you know, the inside of there.
YOU COULD HAVE SEEN IT EVEN IF YOU COULD BLINK, BUT THEN YOU COULD HAVE KEPT YOUR EYES SHUT ON PURPOSE.
HICKSON: Right. Cause the light, it was terrible.
COULD YOU SPEAK?
HICKSON: No, I could not. You know, when you’re talking you can hear your own self, and I was trying to talk and I couldn’t hear myself talk, so I wasn’t talking. I was trying to get some words out, I wanted to see what they were going to do with me, you know. Because, you know, I was thinking ‘this is it, nobody will see me again.’ And Charlie was scared, I’ll be frank with you, no need for me to lie about it, you know, cause I didn’t know what to expect.
DO YOU THINK MAYBE YOU WERE TALKING, BUT THAT YOU JUST COULDN’T HEAR?
HICKSON: No, I don’t. I don’t know. You know, if I was talking, I didn’t hear myself talking.
DID YOU KNOW YOUR MOUTH WAS MOVING?
HICKSON: Well, I guess my mouth wasn’t moving, cause I couldn’t move anything else (he says he was completely paralyzed except for eye movement). It was a strange feeling that I haven’t been able to even explain it to myself, and I know I can’t explain it to anyone else, you know. Maybe someday I’ll understand it, you know, what happened to me, what state I was put in or what state I become in…and why I couldn’t move and why I couldn’t talk. Maybe that’ll be explained to me…it worries me to death sometime.
ONE DISCREPANCY IN THE BOOK CONCERNS THE TIME OF THE RIVERBANK ABDUCTION. IN MENDEZ’S RECONSTRUCTION OF THE TIME FRAME BASED ON WHEN YOU CALLED THE SHERIFF, HE PLACES THE TIME AT ABOUT 9:30 OR 10PM. YET, YOU WRITE THAT IT OCCURRED AROUND DUSK. HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THIS?
HICKSON: I don’t know. (He says the encounter happened around dusk and that the other time was probably incorrect.)
HOW LONG DID IT TAKE THE ROBOTS TO GET FROM THE CRAFT TO YOU?
HICKSON: (He has trouble answering this question, but finally says about half a minute or so, and agrees with me that this would be an unhurried pace.)
WHEN DID YOU GET BACK TO NORMAL AFTER THEY LET YOU OUT OF THE CRAFT?
HICKSON: When they brought me back outside, they just let me down to the ground, they didn’t throw me down. And of course I fell on the ground. I was real weak, my knees felt weak. I saw Calvin then, and he looked terrible, and I was trying to get where he was. My legs got strong enough I could get up, and I was getting toward him. I heard that hissing sound and I looked back and that thing was gone. I made my way on toward him, I was really concerned about him at that time. And I was trying to get him where I could talk to him, and it took us both a while before we could, you know, get to where we could kind of figure things out.
THAT ABOUT WRAPS IT UP. I ASKED YOU TO THINK ABOUT A CLOSING COMMENT YOU MIGHT WANT TO MAKE TO THE PUBLIC.
HICKSON: I’ll say again, you know, that before the end of the year, that everyone will be aware that we’re not alone, that a lot of things are going to be revealed to us, that there won’t be any doubt in anyone’s mind, and a lot of things are going to happen this year that’s going to seem strange at first to the people, till they begin to realize. And that’s about the only thing I’d like to say now. But I will be saying a lot before the year is over. END
A tourist visiting the North Myrtle Beach neighborhood of Cherry Grove in South Carolina saw a UFO on the night of Saturday, October 4.
Mick Rudi noticed the unusual light in the sky, and he grabbed his binoculars to better observe the UFO. He describes the bright round light as being “20 percent the size of the moon,” and he explains that the object hung motionless in the sky.

Perplexed by what he was observing, Rudi grabbed his camera to record video of the strange UFO over South Carolina.

Although Rudi was a visitor to the area, he is no stranger to Cherry Grove, as he has reportedly vacationed there since he was a baby. “You always see lights out there, there are boats and airplanes flying around, but this was nothing of that,” he explains. “The light itself did not illuminate the surface of the ocean which if it was some kind of a flare, it would have done that.”
WPDE NewsChannel 15 took Rudi’s UFO video to aviation expert Jeremy Bass to get his opinion of the unidentified aerial light. “That looked very much like a military jet training and the different color variations appear to be just different heat signatures, as the pilot was asking for different performance levels out of the engine,” Bass opined. And, although Rudi describes that the UFO “gradually got smaller and smaller and disappeared over the horizon, Bass suggests that the object in the video isn’t “actually disappearing, it’s just that that aircraft has now turned and is flying toward the viewer and they’re so far away you don’t see navigation lights.”

Bass even alleges that he has seen the same thing hundreds of times, and that “It’s not even questionable. You’re looking at a jet out there flying around that they’re so far away, it appears that it’s doing things that it’s not.” WPDE NewsChannel 15 reportedly spoke with another aviation expert who echoes Bass’s strong opinion that the object in Rudi’s video is “definitely military.”
But, according to WPDE NewsChannel 15, Rudi isn’t buying the military jet explanation. He believes what he observed was other-worldly.
South Carolina’s Myrtle Beach area has been a hot bed of UFO activity in recent years. But, although there have been several photos and videos captured showing unexplainable objects over the area, tourist beaches like this also see their fair share of sky lanterns. These mini hot air balloons, also known as Chinese lanterns, could potentially be what Rudi observed. The color changes noted by Bass could actually be nothing more than an illusion created by the camera as it attempts to focus on the bright object. And Rudi’s description of the object getting smaller and disappearing could be explained by a sky lantern’s fuel cell expiring.
But the sky lantern identification is just one of many possibilities. It seems hasty for two aviation experts to definitively identify an object as a military aircraft based on a video that shows an out-of-focus light in the sky, recorded with a shaky, hand-held camera.
Do you think Rudi’s video clearly shows a military jet? Could it be a sky lantern? Or do you think, as Rudi does, that the object seems more mysterious than that? Share your thoughts with us by leaving a comment below, or by posting on the Open Minds Facebook page.
Paranormal writer Brad Steiger had combined his occult interest into Edgar Rothschild Fouche`s experience in Air Force Intelligence and cryptology as a prophetic science-fiction piece that could prove to be “the smoking gun that will astound anyone seeking the truth.”
The book’s disclaimer said in part, “The Top Secret government documents are alleged to be authentic. However, we believe the U.S government would disagree. Existing Top Secret military science and technology, and government abuses are alleged to be authentic. Historical quotes by public figures are accurate.”
Fouche’ was assigned to many special secret development and classified “Black Programs,” and he decided to incorporate many of his true-life episodes in disguise. “Alien Rapture is presenting many facts with a little fiction,” said Steiger, “to protect the guilty and shield the innocent.”
TOWARDS THE LIGHT
Joe Green, a major protagonist in the story, was a Senior Engineer who worked on advanced aerospace vehicles. While on a final NSA assignment to place transponder-marker-beacons near a downed Russian trawler, Green confronted, once again, a preview of his destiny. That mission was an assignment for the Tactical Reconnaissance Engineering Assessment Team (TREAT) in 1975, but it was only one of many times that Green would encounter a mysterious light and missing time. In this one instance, it was in the waters off North Vietnam, but earlier it has been with his parents when he was a child in his parent’s car in route to San Antonio. It was on the San Antonio trip that Joe met the “angels” that told him why they had contacted him and what mission they entailed:
“Men and women are supposed to tend the garden…be good gardeners of Earth,” the “angels” told Green, “…God is ashamed of us. We are his bad children. We’re supposed to be better than animals. God was so ashamed that He went away and left the angles here to teach us how to find Him again when we are ready. When we grow up.”
THE VIDEO
Fellow-protagonist, UFO investigator, anti-bureaucrat, Blake Webster had exposed a real video of an extraterrestrial craft on a NBC’s “Exploring the Unknown” program; that caught the attention of highest government officials, including the ever-sanctimonious Majestic-12 Committee and high-security types at the National Security Agency and Area 51 at Groom Lake.
Several sub-plots converged throughout the book allowing characters to meet and lend strength to each other. Clive Redding Teller, known as “Red,” joined forces with Blake Webster. Teller was, in fact, a spy for Webster. A Similar protagonist was scientist and “eminent theoretical propulsion expert,” Dr. Carlton Farr (Farr was into Ultra Top Secret Black Government projects). Further protagonists were Wayne Newsome (fearless investigator), Rainey Roberts (Webster’s paramour and the Software Manager for EG&G special projects), and Page St. John, head of the Church of the Celestial Prophet (who was demanding, “a release of all UFO secrets allegedly held in the government hidden vaults”).
“…they decided that they would put together a computer-generated news release. They would use the information from Dr. Farr’s files and material from each of their research or personal experiences. They would also assemble a video from the materials at hand. The digital news release would be placed on all the worldwide computer networks…the video broadcast with pictures and shots of printed files, such as the MJ-12 documents and autopsy report, would be transmitted via satellite…”
THE SINISTER FORCES
A list of our anti-heroes, the antagonists, varied in rank and style. They ferociously fought our courageous “super patriots,” (Page 171.) that were our “muckraker” “anarchist rogues.” (Page 207-208.)
Former Marine sniper M.D. Crawfoot had used the M40A1 on military missions, but he presently used a Remington Model 700 BDL Varmint bolt-action rifle chambered for .308 calibers.
“Crawfoot selected his bullets by weight for maximum penetration. He wanted a flattened taper for kinetic energy transfer and a core lock metal jacket deforming compound bullet for ultimate killing effect. Maximum damage to the target was accomplished by the largest hole; ergo the wider the diameter and the heavier the better.”
Crawfoot came to assassinate scientist Carlton Farr for his knowledge he had gained about Black Programs, the TR-3 Tactical Reconnaissance vehicle (with multimode propulsion), and the inroads that Area 51 had made with “aliens (that) not only walk among us…(but) work among us, creating a new world of alien/human technology,” as Blake Webster theorized.
The capture and torture of “Red” Clive Teller by Area 51 Chief of Security Raul Agabarr, “an unprincipled soldier of fortune who sold his services to the highest bidder and who loved his gore so much he would have worked for free,” forced the rescue of Teller as imperative.
High-official realization of the possible expose of the Majestic-12 program and alien technology became spear-headed by Colonel Tytrent of Special Operations, General Jean-Claude Alexandre Beauharnais, Director of Defense, Special Projects, and Eli Jerrold, “an exceedingly wealthy attorney, a former Director of the National Security Agency.”
RESCUE AND INTERVENTION
The “four conspirators” clashed headlong with the inner sanctum at Area 51 in their rescue attempt of “Red” Teller. They came to realize, however, that Joe Green’s history of abductions since childhood designated him as a potential hybrid consort with the “Jexovah” race (who openly began to communicate through Green to help secure entrance and rescue of “Red” Teller at Area 51, the home of “the MJ-12 committee of patriotic leaders.”)
Communication with the ‘‘Jexovah” and their plans for a prophesied “rapture” of hybrid humans unravel in the finale’ with the appearance of Page St. John‘s congregation at the site. A surprising “resurrection” of Joe Green takes place from a fatal rifle shot.

“The Icelandic commission has recently ruled the video, of the mythical ‘Loch Ness’ sea monster captured in 2012 to be “authentic.” The peculiar video seems to show an enormous scaly creature, swimming through the lake water. The giant serpent, has been the subject of folk tales since the fourteenth century.” PARANORMAL CRUCIBLE
Sterrenkunde De ruimtesonde Solar Dynamics Observatory van NASA heeft prachtige beelden gemaakt van een materiebrug in de atmosfeer van de zon. Dat is een heldere wolk van zonnegas, die zich boven het oppervlak van de zon uitstrekt.
De sonde, die de zon vijf jaar lang 24 uur op 24 in de gaten houdt, hield de materiebrug eind september enkele dagen in het vizier terwijl hij met de zon mee roteerde. De slangachtige brug is 1,6 miljoen kilometer lang. Mocht ze recht zijn, zou ze bijna volledig rond de zon reiken.
"Materiebruggen blijven in de atmosfeer van de zon hangen door sterke magnetische krachten", laat NASA in een verklaring weten. "Hoewel ze zeer onstabiel zijn, kunnen ze dagen of zelfs weken stand houden."
Volgens de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie fotografeerde de SDO de materiebrug in verschillende lichtgolflengtes. Elk beeld licht materiaal van verschillende temperaturen uit. Op deze manier komen wetenschappers meer te weten over het ontstaan van een dergelijke structuur.
De SDO legde vorige week ook een middelgrote zonnevlam op beeld vast, die donderdagmiddag op zijn hoogtepunt was.
NASA bekijkt al sinds de jaren 50 van vorige eeuw de mogelijkheid van een bemande ruimtevlucht naar Mars, maar tot vandaag heeft nog nooit een mens een voet op de Rode Planeet gezet. De Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie heeft nu door SpaceWorks laten onderzoeken of zo'n peperdure expeditie niet veel goedkoper kan. Zo zou de bemanning kunstmatig in een 'winterslaap' kunnen gehouden worden tijdens de vlucht van ongeveer 180 dagen. Daarmee zou 180 ton aan gewicht kunnen uitgespaard worden. En dus ook veel geld.
De diepe slaap, ook gekend als torpor, vermindert de metabolische functies aanzienlijk. Torpor komt in de natuur voor bij sommige zoogdieren en vogels en bij de mens in het geval van onderkoeling. "De medische winterslaap bestaat al sinds 1980 maar wordt vooral sinds 2003 gebruikt bij kritieke traumapatiënten in ziekenhuizen", zei ruimtevaartingenieur Mark Schaffer van SpaceWorks op het International Astronomical Congress in Toronto. "In de meeste grote ziekenhuizen bestaan er procedures om medische onderkoeling toe te passen op patiënten om hen in leven te houden tot ze de behandeling aankunnen die ze nodig hebben."
Van 1 week naar half jaar onderkoeling In combinatie met intraveneuze voeding zou de bemanning van een Marsvlucht in winterslaap kunnen worden gebracht. Zo'n tripje duurt wel in het beste geval 180 dagen, enkele rit. Tot nu toe worden patiënten maximaal ongeveer een goede week in stase gehouden. Voor bemande Marsvluchten zouden artsen dat dus moeten opdrijven tot 180 dagen". Om de torporstaat te bereiken moet de lichaamstemperatuur naar omlaag gebracht worden tot 34 à 32 graden. Dat duurt ongeveer zes uur.
En als men erin slaagt die staat bijna een half jaar aan te houden, zou dat alvast een geweldige financiële besparing betekenen voor een bemande vlucht naar de Rode Planeet. De astronauten zouden immers veel kleinere ruimtetuigen nodig hebben met een pak minder voorzieningen. Geen keuken, geen fitnesstoestellen, geen grote woonruimtes, en minder water, eten en kledij. SpaceWorks berekende dat in totaal de basisvereisten voor zo'n torporvlucht van 400 naar ongeveer 220 ton zouden zakken.
Psychologisch voordeel Een van de ontwerpen omvat overigens een tollende leefruimte met een lichte zwaartekracht om het bot- en spierverlies op te vangen. Als alternatief om de hele bemanning te laten inslapen zou ook telkens 1 persoon twee-drie dagen wakker gehouden kunnen worden en die vervolgens veertien dagen in winterslaap te brengen. Zo is er altijd iemand die het ruimteschip kan besturen en wetenschappelijke experimenten kan uitvoeren.
Tot slot is er ook nog een psychologisch voordeel aan de winterslaap voor ruimtevaarders. "Je zit niet 180 dagen vast in een blik maar je gaat slapen, wordt wakker en je bent er", zei Schaffer. Het is allemaal nog zo ver niet maar de voorlopige resultaten zijn volgens Schaffer alvast veelbelovend.
In this video he talks about 7 of the most truly terrifying monsters that have been seen across the United States. He goes on to say that the term “Monster” is really subjective, and that some of these so-called monsters might not be evil and viscous.
As I mentioned yesterdayI have just returned from Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands.
Plato described a rich and happy land in the Atlantic which was virtually destroyed by earthquakes and tidal waves some 12,000 years ago. This was Atlantisand many locals are convinced that the Canary Islands are what remains of the submerged paradise.
From where we stayed we were able to walk to the small town of Los Gigantes (The Giants) which are dominated by cliff formations rising from the Atlantic. They were formed some seven million years ago. Wherever you look in the town The Giants, which rise from the sea to a height of 2700 feet, dominate the views.
These cliffs keep the western side of Tenerife warmer than the rest of the island. The heat from the sun is stored within the rocks.
But whatever the truth of the legends and stories about Atlantis the Acantilados de Los Gigantes are a wonderful sight - providing you don't mind lots of hills and steps!
We walked a different way back to our hotel sticking to the coast via Puerto Santiago and Puerto Pisquero.
A few photos I took along the way (click on them to make bigger):

They must like cats
But the dog in this house didn't like us walking past
Something to eat
And when we finally got back to our hotel room, the friendly lizard was there on the balcony to welcome us - and we were on the top floor - the 8th. Obviously a good climber with a head for heights.
Several years ago, the following account was forwarded to me by a woman in eastern Kentucky:
In October 1988 a friend and I had an astonishing UFO sighting and encounter. We were both in our sophomore year of high school. I will discuss that incident later in my story, but first I want to relate other experiences.
Two years later strange things started to happen to me. On my 18th birthday I went to bed about 11:30 pm. All I remember was laying down. Sometime around 3 am I woke up in the backyard, freezing and absolutely terrified. What I don’t understand is if I was sleep walking why didn’t my parents wake me up? I know my mom should have because she has always been a very light sleeper. After the incident I couldn’t sleep at all for the next 3 nights.
In November 1994 I was living alone in a house that a friend’s grandmother had rented to me. One night I was laying on the couch watching television. After the program I rolled over and went to sleep. Not long after I was awaken by very intense bright white lights. At first I thought someone had pulled into my driveway and I started to get up to see who it was. I thought it might have been a friend of mine who lived right up the road, because he had come to the house that late on a number of occasions because he worked the 2nd shift. As I was starting to get out of bed to see who it was an overwhelming terror came over me. I laid back down and pulled the covers over my head. That’s all I remember until the next morning when I woke up with my feet on the back of the couch and my head and body on the floor with my shirt on the wrong side out. I had a similar experience in 1996 at a different house in a different part of the country.
Now, it’s happened again. Early this morning at around 5 am I woke and swear I saw 3 small figures standing next to the bed. It was pitch black because the power had gone off. I immediately rolled back over and put the covers over my head and thought to myself “I didn’t see that. I don’t want to see that”. After a few minutes and without taking the covers off of my head I reached over on the night stand and got my flashlight, raised up out of bed and simultaneously turn on the flashlight. There was nothing there. I was terrified because it felt like someone was in the bedroom with me even though I could not see anything. Oddly enough as soon as I clicked on the flashlight the power came back on immediately afterwards. I’m not claiming that I have been abducted but if I was I simply don’t want to know the details.
I’m overly concerned that these experiences will continue and that I will eventually become aware that an abduction is occurring. I have never received any communication and I cannot find any marks on my body. The only symptoms I have are insomnia for several days and loss of appetite. I don’t get tired or sleepy. I have noticed that some items in the house are moved around and, in fact, a few things have gone missing including a perfume bottle, a hair brush and a blanket.
To be honest with you, my real concern centers around my father and the UFO incident in October 1988. The night I had the sighting and encounter, my father went missing. He has never been seen or heard from again. He had previously claimed that he has been abducted by extraterrestrials and that these beings performed experiments on him. The encounter my friend and I had was very scary and confusing. We have never been able to talk about it to each other, even though we are still close. I have an awful feeling something may happen to me and that I may actually find out what became of my father. Can someone possibly give me sound advice? I have seen psychiatrists and psychologists for almost 15 years now. No one has been able to alleviate my fear.

I attempted to find someone who may know her and have left several messages over the years. I received one response from a woman who lived near Nancy…but states she hasn’t seen or heard of her whereabouts. That message was sent to me in 2012. Lon
LOST TIME AND MUTILATIONS IN CALIFORNIA JULY 1976 …… SACRAMENTO VALLEY CALIFORNIA
In July, 1976 a friend and I, who is now a dentist and a no nonsense kind of guy, were cruising between Lincoln and Auburn, CA on a quiet country road. We drove over the top of a hilly road and we were descending I noticed a bright bluish-white light shining down on the road about 200 yards in front of us. It was coming from a point over a large group of scrub oak trees. The trees came to a point over the road creating a canapé effect over the road. What was strange is there were no street lights and none of the light shining down on the road was being blocked out by the trees.
As we approached the light my car began to sputter and lost power, then the headlights went out. As we were approaching the light I was flashing my bright lights on and off before the car shut down. As soon as the car rolled to a stop, I opened the door to step out… the light disappeared while leaves were floating down below where the light had been falling onto the road in front of us. During July in the Sacramento valley it is still about 80 degrees with no wind. It gets very hot here in the summer.
The thing that really shocked me was 4 days later we took 2 of our cats to the vets, which was about 3 miles out of town. When the vet drove up he was acting confused and was stuttering, which he did when he got excited. He had been called out to a ranch to look at a dead cow. He explained to me and my mom that the cow had been cut up in a very strange way with a missing eye ball, utter and entrails. It’s hind quarters had been drilled or board out. He also said there were no flies, no bugs and no predator bite marks anywhere on the cow.
The cow was located 50 yards from the very spot we saw the lights over the trees. My doctor friend said his mother was upset with him for getting home so late the night we saw the lights. However we were only out there in the country for an hour and a half. He claims it was 4am when we got home. After dropping him off that night, I was really tired and just went home to bed and didn’t pay any attention to the time. He claims we lost 3 hours.
To this day I have no idea what we saw or what happened. He refuses to talk about it with me or to anyone else. I have seen other lights and strange things over the years but this situation has always made me scratch my head and I wonder what really happened that night to us and that poor cow. Nothing was ever said to the police or to the news media regarding the mutilated cow or the lights we saw. After years of hearing about abductions and cow mutilations, I believe we may have been part of something that cannot be explained with science or rational thought.
My interest in UFO’s has been very strong for years and I am sure there are other things going on around us that we cannot explain or can we make sense of them because we are not allowed to by those conducting such intrusive examinations of humans and animals. Well that’s my story and I’m sticking to it because I can remember it like it happened yesterday. We were not drinking, smoking or doing any drugs as my doctor friend was always against such activities due to his medical training and personal beliefs. On the other hand, I know something happened beyond the norm and will take it to my grave as a real and unexplained experience.

This happened last night and I can’t for the life of me explain it.
My bathroom is an en-suite, with the only entrance being through my room. My bed is between the entrance of my room, and the entrance to the bathroom.
I was sitting on my bed, leaning against the headboard with my laptop, when I heard the toilet flush from behind my closed bathroom door. I get off my bed and back away from my bathroom door, towards the far wall. I here foot steps from the bathroom, then the sound of someone washing their hands. I shout “who’s in there!” and the sound immediately stopped. Thinking someone was still in my washroom, I shout, “Who’s in the bathroom!?” with no response.
Panicking, I yelled for my mom who quickly came up to ask what’s the matter. I told her, there is somebody in my bathroom. After my mom came back with a baseball bat, we shoved open the door, only to find nobody inside. At this point, my mom thinks I’m crazy. I was watching the door the whole time, and there is no way somebody could have jumped from the second story window without hurting themselves, much less without a sound. Also the sink was wet from when they washed their hands.
Am I crazy? What happened last night?
edit: also the window was shut when I searched the washroom. There’s no way somebody could close it from outside. Reddit.com
A man who believes he saw a deadly cobra crossing a footpath outside Queen Victoria Hospital fears recent cases of missing cats could be linked to the reptile.
Trevor Gamble, 49, saw a snake outside the hospital on Holtye Road at 11.40am on Sunday morning as he was walking to his home which is on the same road.
Mr Gamble said he “almost earned a Darwin award for inadvertently doing something really stupid” after bending down to get a closer look, not believing at the time it could be dangerous because it was in Britain.
When the snake reared up and “spread what looked like a hood” around its head he suddenly panicked and stood stock still.
He explained: “I’ve got a bit of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) about losing things so I always look behind myself every now and then. I turned around to look back and I saw the snake come onto the path as if it had been waiting for me to pass.”
Mr Gamble then lived up to his name and decided to try and grab the snake by the tail to get a better look at its markings when it reared up and “its head came up to just above my knees”.
He added: “It was swaying there looking right at me; I had my heart in my mouth trying not to breathe. I just held my breath and kept completely still. It was a bit more than an arm’s length away from me, then it just went down and carried on going, obviously deciding I wasn’t a threat.
“That’s when I legged it.”
Mr Gamble described the snake as having a white underside and face with a dark grey body, which is typical of some types of king cobras. The snakes have enough venom in a single bite to bring down an elephant or kill 20 people.
Mr Gamble was so concerned he dialled 999 but was told it wasn’t an emergency so should call 101, the police non-emergency number, which he later did.
Police advised him to contact the RSPCA who passed him on to a company called Proteus Reptile Trust, who deal with the welfare of captive snakes.
Staff there explained they do not deal with snakes spotted in the wild.
A spokeswoman for the RSPCA has since said they were unable to send out an inspector because of a lack of resources meaning they would only do so if they could be directed to the snakes exact location.
Mr Gamble said: I’m just worried because there have been a lot of missing cat posters up in this area recently and I’m thinking maybe they have been dinner for this snake. And I haven’t seen any rats or mice recently either thinking about it.”
The RSPCA spokeswoman said: “Because of the volume of calls, our inspectors cannot go out looking for a snake when we don’t know where it is but we would ask that if anyone sees it, they could monitor it from a safe distance so we can come out and collect it quickly and take it into safe care.
“As we only have one inspector per 100,000 people and often only one inspector covering a county we do not have the resources to scour the wood looking for a snake.
“In this instance the call was logged as an advice call. We cannot identify snakes over the phone which is why we sometimes ask people to ring other specialised animal welfare organisations.”
Mr Gamble said his friends have been somewhat sceptical of his claims. He said: “I told a few friends what I saw and they said ‘Trev, had you been drinking?’ I said ‘no, but I needed a couple of pints afterwards’.” – East Grinstead Courier
Astronomers have identified an asteroid with an orbit so stable that it is almost like a second moon.
It is common knowledge that the Earth has just one natural satellite, yet our planet’s orbit is actually home to several other objects that could technically be considered moons.
The latest candidate, an asteroid discovered in 2014 by Farid Char of the Chilean University of Antofagasta, measures over 100m across and has entered in to a remarkably steady orbit around the Earth where it is likely to stay for at least another century.
“The past and future orbital evolution of this object becomes difficult to predict although it remains in the neighbourhood of Earth’s co-orbital region for thousands of years,” astronomers wrote.
It is believed that the asteroid has been in its current stable orbit for more than 700 years but that could change within the next two centuries as it is hard to predict what will happen after that.
It is extremely unlikely however that it will ever be formally recognized as a moon. Read more at THP
BARNEGAT, N.J. – Little evidence of life remains inside the Elizabeth V. Edwards School. The building has remained mostly vacant since its last class of students left in 2004.
But some school officials believe the building — which served as both a high school and an elementary school since its completion in 1930 — is still inhabited by something, or someone, otherworldly.
“It’s always just been kind of mischievous,” said Bill Cox, transportation and security coordinator for Barnegat schools, of the supernatural experiences. “We don’t know if Lizzy (Edwards) is haunting the school, but if she is, she’s a good ghost.”
People who’ve worked in the building in years past say the “good ghost” — and maybe a few of her late colleagues — pass the time slamming lockers, turning lights on and off, and playing 1940s music for no one in particular. The Edwards School’s ghostly reputation has attracted the attention of the Syfy network’s Ghost Hunters, famous for investigating suspicions of paranormal activity across the nation.
Art Walshe, a maintenance worker in the school district, thinks the haunting might be authentic. He said he saw an apparition — the image of a translucent woman wearing a floral print dress with her hair piled up high onto her head. Another time, he said he saw the same woman and a pair of khaki pants next to her, but he could not make out the figure wearing the pants. Read more at USA Today
What: Circular object with lights, mass ongoing sighting
It’s a pretty exciting time to live in Texas right now. The chances are increasing that you’ll see a UFO. Already, we’ve seen evidence that a really big, slow-moving craft is making its way through Central Texas, and even more perplexing, since July, photos and even video of a circular object with lights hovering in the sky have been shared on YouTube, reported on by local news, and of course investigated on Texas UFO Sightings. Here’s a recap of these mass “flying saucer” sightings:

State Texas Fair in Dallas on October 3rd, two “flying saucer”-like objects hang out with Big Tex (did not catch the second UFO in first report):
September 3rd in San Antonio, see screenshot formYouTube video:
August 11th sighting of object with lights in circular formation as well as other strange UFOs in Houston area, mass sighting:
So, what’s up Texans? Literally?!? If you have theories on to what these objects could be – keep in mind that the Houston sightings are real and were really seen by many – share them in the comments or on the Facebook page.
And if you’ve seen an object like this in the Lone Star State recently, report your sighting.
Witnesses noticed three shiny UFOs in the sky above Breckenridge, Colorado on the morning of Friday, October 3.
Multiple people called the local police department to report the “shiny, white, tiny dots” floating in the sky. Reporter Matt Renoux from local NBC affiliate 9NEWS reportedly observed the UFOs as well, and managed to capture the objects on video. Based on witness testimony, and his own observations, Renoux doesn’t believe the UFOs were drones or weather balloons.

“They would just sit there for five or six minutes . . . ten minutes . . . fifteen minutes . . . without moving an inch on our viewscreen in the camera,” he explains. “And then you would see a flash of light and they would take off across the edge of the mountain ridge behind me.”

Some witnesses reportedly observed these Colorado UFOs moving to form triangles or straight lines in the sky.

Renoux says similar objects were reported in Utah on Thursday, October 2. One Utah witness submitted a UFO sighting report to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). “I and four of my neighbors in my apartment complex saw three white lights–they appeared like solid objects either glowing or reflecting the sunlight–first they hovered for around a half hour, then headed south-west very, very slowly,” the witness explains.
9NEWS reports that the Summit County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the incident in Colorado. The sheriff’s office contacted the FAA, but were told that no reports of unusual aerial objects had come in. The station also reportedly contacted the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) about the UFOs. “NORAD is not tracking any anomalies in that location. We are investigating,” said a NORAD spokesperson.
With both the local sheriff’s office and NORAD investigating, hopefully more details about these UFOs will emerge.

HICKSON: I don’t know. But we’ve lived many times before and we’ll live many times after this life. I believe the human body has a soul, a spirit, and that’s what lives forever. The flesh decays away, but to be born again in another body.
WHAT ABOUT ANIMAL LIFE?
HICKSON: I don’t know about animal life. That’s also possible, I’m not saying it’s impossible. But I do know that my soul’s lived forever and it’ll live forever. There’s no question in my mind about that. I’m contented about that.
IS THAT BELIEF IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH WHAT YOU’VE LEARNED FROM THE ENCOUNTERS?
HICKSON: It has to be connected–it’s something I believe since this happened to me. (Charlie discusses his religious upbringing, which, he says, included the usual Heaven and Hell dogma.) But a lot of things that our religion, not our faith–there’s only one faith–taught us at that time was not all the facts to it. And the only thing I did learn was that there’s a supreme being, which is God.
DID YOU LEARN ANYTHING ABOUT A SUPREME BEING OR SOUL FROM THE OTHER WORLD CREATURES?
HICKSON: No. But I know that the beings themselves, they must have a soul, because they’re close to what the beings are on this earth, and in my belief that God is the supreme being over this universe and the one beyond, then they must have a soul, just as we do.
DO THESE OTHER-WORLDLINGS COME FROM ANOTHER UNIVERSE?
HICKSON: I don’t know what universe they come from. But I think I will be able to know someday. I don’t know when. I’m eager to learn, I live from day to day waiting till I can gain more knowledge, but it’s given to me, I know or I suppose, well, I know–as they think I should have it.
AS THEY THINK–THE CREATURES?
HICKSON: As they think I should have it. Yeah.
HAVE YOU SEEN THE BEINGS OR ROBOTS AGAIN SINCE THE LAST ENCOUNTER MENTIONED IN THE BOOK–MOTHER’S DAY NIGHT, 1974?
HICKSON: Well, the reason I’m a little hesitant on that answer is that (he pauses for a long moment as if mentally debating)–let’s just wait awhile about me answering that question–maybe a little bit later on.
SINCE THAT FIRST TIME, HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU BEEN OUT TO THE RIVERBANK ALONE?
HICKSON: Several different times. Before Hudship built the shipyard there, some nights I’d go down late at night alone. I don’t know, I just felt like I wanted to go down there and be alone, and maybe spend an hour or two there. I’ve done that quite a few times.
HAVE YOU EVER HAD ANY TELEPATHIC CONTACT DURING THESE VISITS?
HICKSON: No. Now, for a long time–until the shipyard was built there–I’d go there on every anniversary of the time this happened, and a few of those times, Mendez (the book’s co-author) would come down here and go over there with me, from Michigan. He’d spend a few days, but he’d be down for the anniversary. We’d spend quite a while over there on that river talking.
THIS SEEMS LIKE IT HAS BECOME A VERY LARGE PART OF HIS LIFE.
HICKSON: It has. I think he’s become possessed with it now, it’s become so interesting to him.
HAS MENDEZ EVER HAD A CLOSE ENCOUNTER?
HICKSON: No.
DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE ANY CHOICE IN RECEIVING THESE MESSAGES?
HICKSON: I don’t have any choice. I don’t have any choice in what I’m destined to do, and I can’t change it. If I get off track, I get put right back on it again. Some things I do is beyond my control.
DO YOU MEAN GET OFF TRACK IN THE SENSE THAT YOU STOP DOING WHAT THE MISSION IS?
