UFO sighting and alien abduction case of 1960s officially deemed a historical fact
UFO sighting and alien abduction case of 1960s officially deemed a historical fact
A 1960s UFO case has been accorded official recognition [image for representational purposes only]puertoricoufos.com
An alleged UFO sighting and alien abduction case in the US has been officially recognised as the first off-world/UFO case in history.
An announcement was made by The Great Barrington Historical Society last month where they reportedly inducted the UFO case as they believed it was "historically significant and true," reports Open Minds via The Boston Globe.
The case comprises a series of UFO sightings and an encounter involving Great Barrington residents Thomas Reed and his family.
The incident, which took place on 1 September, 1969, began with UFO sightings by multiple witnesses in the area, some of which also contacted Great Barrington's WSBS radio, that reported the incident at the time.
According to The Boston Globe, Reed claimed that this UFO sighting was part of a string of strange encounters he and his family experienced beginning back in 1966. The first encounter took place on their horse farm when Reed was six years old.
He and his younger brother saw strange lights coming from the forest and strange figures in their hallway. They remember seeing a large disc-shaped craft in a clearing in the forest, and being taken aboard.
They experienced similar incidents over the next few years. In one instance, while driving with his mother, younger brother, and grandmother, Reed remembers strange lights in the sky. Soon after, they found themselves in a giant room where they met with two large ant-like creatures. Moments later, they were back in their car.
Reed reportedly shared the Great Barrington Historical Society's press release with the audience at the International UFO Congress in Arizona, which was held in mid-February 2015.
In the press release, the Great Barrington Historical Society lists some reasons why they decided to induct the case. They noted that the case was examined by US Air Force's official UFO investigation, Project Blue Book, and that the case was mentioned at the United Nations in 1992.
They also stated: "This renowned case has received international recognition due to factual and corroborated evidence as well as first hand testimony, including recent polygraph test, the Great Barrington Historical Society confirms that the Reed off-world incident is historically significant and true and warrants induction in the GBHS collection."
Debbie Opperman, the director of the Great Barrington Historical Society, reiterated her belief in the story in an interview with The Boston Globe. When asked what it means that they inducted the case, she answered, "It means that we believe it is true."
"I know we're going to get a lot of backlash. We're going to get hammered," she continued. "But we have given it an awful lot of thought, and, based on the evidence we've been given, we believe this is a significant and true event."
Opperman also believes it to be "the first time a 'mainstream' historical society or museum in the United States has declared a UFO encounter to be historical fact."
The Reed case already has its own display in the International UFO Museum and Research Centre in Roswell, New Mexico and now, it's about to get one in Great Barrington, close to where the alleged encounters took place.

See Blue ‘Meteor’ Over Switzerland and Austria
See Blue ‘Meteor’ Over Switzerland and Austria
The meteor over Austria and Switzerland (YouTube/screenshot)
A meteor apparently flew over Switzerland and Austria on Sunday night.
The event was captured on video.
So, what differentiates a meteor from a meteorite or even an asteroid?
“Little chunks of rock and debris in space are called meteoroids. They become meteors — or shooting stars — when they fall through a planet’s atmosphere; leaving a bright trail as they are heated to incandescence by the friction of the atmosphere. Pieces that survive the journey and hit the ground are called meteorites,” says NASA. “Meteoroids become meteors — or shooting stars — when they interact with a planet’s atmosphere and cause a streak of light in the sky. Debris that makes it to the surface of a planet from meteoroids are called meteorites.”
According to NASA, meteorites can greatly vary in size. They can be “tiny grains to large boulders. One of the largest meteorite found on Earth is the Hoba meteorite from southwest Africa, which weighs roughly 54,000 kg (119,000 pounds),” the space agency says.
Meanwhile, asteroids are objects that orbit the sun but are too small to be classified as planets. “Tens of thousands of these minor planets are gathered in the main asteroid belt, a vast doughnut-shaped ring between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Asteroids that pass close to Earth are called near-earth objects,” NASA says.

Is the government and media gearing up for disclosure?
By: Steve Thresher |@steventhresher on 16th January 2015 @ 11.48am There was a time when the mainstream press would only cover aliens and UFO’s if it were a satirical piece, after all aliens were relegated to the realm of tin foil hats and science fiction. Recently however more and more publications are talking about the possibility of alien life like it is becoming science fact.
This open discussion of these topics in publications such as The Guardian, The Daily Mail, Metro, The Huffington Post and even Sky News to name a few. The headlines openly discuss the possibilities of alien life and the vastness of space and the likelihood we will find life.
NASA have been have made countless discoveries in recent years that indicate that planets in our own solar system were once alive and had water flowing on the surface. The Telegraph in 2011 would run headlines such as ‘Alien Life Deemed Impossible’. Professor Brian Cox who holds great sway over mainstream audiences when it comes to space ad the unknown also stated that alien life was impossible. Last December former MoD Nick Pope discusses the possibility that the government was prepping us for alien disclosure through our news and media outlets, by openly discussing these subjects and slowly introducing the concept that it may be true over time you can condition the public to accept the news without fear.
Nick Pope said, “it wasn’t long ago that UFO shows were consigned to networks like Syfy, but there are now only a tiny handful of channels that won’t touch the subject. It’s gone from fringe to mainstream in a matter of a couple of years. Is this part of a campaign to acclimatise people to an extra-terrestrial reality, ahead of an official announcement? Is Disclosure just around the corner?”
The UK government is also set to declassify more of its “X Files” and make them publicly available on the National Archives in late 2015. Nick Pope said, “This is a hugely embarrassing situation for the government.
“Last summer they told the media and the public that yes, this was absolutely all the UFO files and there was a big fanfare about this being the end of a five year programme to declassify and release the entire archive. Now they say, ‘Oh, wait a minute, we’ve found a whole bunch of further UFO files’”. This combination of declassifying government documents and widespread media coverage of aliens and UFO’s seem to be gearing us up to accept they exist on mass. Even today (Jan 16) the mainstream press are publishing article about the search of life sustaining planets and how thousands more have been dicovered.
It was just the other week that NASA were saying they have thousands of life sustaining planet candidats. The concept of alien life is without doubt slowly being introduced to the public consciousness. What do you think, are we being prepped for a big disclousure in 2015?

Are miniature, Gray-like aliens biological robots?
Are miniature, Gray-like aliens biological robots?
ufoseek.org Beings could be part of spacecraft technology
If there’s one idea I came away with at the International UFO Congress (IUFOC), held earlier this month in Laughlin, Nevada, it’s about the potential technological composition of aliens. Two presentations given at the conference --– a survey of alien life forms by abductee therapist Dolores Cannon, and a discussion of the late Colonel Philip Corso by Las Vegas journalist George Knapp inspired me to rethink how certain aliens could be robots.
Combining the two presentations leads me to this hypothesis: Alien voyagers can’t take the atmospheric pressure on Earth, so they breed biomechanical clones; meantime, the Roswell UFO crash occurred because the technology –-- in this case, robotic beings –-- on board the craft malfunctioned. Of course, the alien-robot connection is by no means new. The great 1951 movie The Day the Earth Stood Still featured a robot named Gort, who was commissioned solely to defend its master and his ship. UFO researchers have talked about alien droids ever since. Moreover, the headline story of the November-December 1974 edition of The A.P.R.O. Bulletin (Aerial Phenomena Research Organization), a leading publication of its time, is titled “Robots in Quebec, Canada.” The piece discusses how a Canadian couple saw four metal-bodied, six-foot-tall robots walk stiffly --– as if remote-controlled --– near a neighboring trailer home. Carrying this idea further, in the future, humans will have much more ability to merge with machines, just like alien bots. As MIT researcher Ray Kurzweil suggests, by 2030, $1,000 in microchips, in today’s dollars, will purchase a human brain’s worth of computing power. Humans will be able to enhance their intelligence by plugging their brains into an artificial brain, called a “neural net.” This considered, I’d venture to guess that Grays represent what humans could be like in 1,000 years: inter-dimensional time travelers aided by bio-mechanical helpers. Little Grays get a “bad rap” Grays and alien androids may look alike: almond-shaped eyes; no ears or nose; and four fingers, but they are differentiated by intelligence and place of origin. Grays are gifted with unlimited imagination, hail from Tau Ceti or Zeta Reticuli, and act as cosmic police from their massive mothership precincts. Servant robots of Grays, which look like miniature versions of Grays, merely carry out their makers’ wishes. In her talk, Cannon, a hypnotherapist, spoke from her purview of 15 years of work with alien abductees. Having sent dozens of abductees into an unconscious state, Cannon has been able to see similarities in the stories of these so-called “experiencers.” She admits to having a very positive perspective, that aliens are trying to help humankind, rather than harm us. Humans are innately scared by these beings. “They’re very lovable people,” she says. Little Gray aliens, she says, get a “bad rap.” They’re actually trying to guide us through climate changes and global power struggles. Yet, aliens have corrected Cannon through her subjects’ voices, when she referred to the beings as robots. “They’re biologically created beings,” she says. “They are not robots as we see them, but they are created to do a job. I call them go-fers, the ones who do the chores.” These inter-dimensional, biomechanical beings appear and reappear before our eyes because they vibrate at a quicker frequency, because they’re more technologically advanced. Meantime, non-mechanical aliens may orbit the far reaches of our solar system, or in another dimension, in their enormous motherships. They must slow the vibration of their bodies before coming close to Earth; largely, they experience pain when entering our pressurized atmosphere. Hence, the need exists for droids. For the same reason, Cannon explains, humans can’t tolerate the vibration of droids’ scout ships. How are these robot-like beings bred? Cannon says they are grown in the laboratories of motherships, in breeding pods filled with liquid. The bots grow very quickly. The content of the liquid is unknown, though; perhaps such a liquid contains nutrients gained from cattle mutilations, as Jim Dilettoso suggests. The alien droid as a spaceship’s guidance system
George Knapp’s lecture on Philip Corso was one of my favorite IUFOC talks, simply because Knapp was conveyed a kinship and understanding for the late author of The Day after Roswell. Knapp shared with the audience never-before-seen video of Corso, which portrayed the controversial officer in an endearing light. With likeable frankness, Corso recalled an encounter he had with aliens in the desert in 1957, when he was based at White Sands, New Mexico. Driving out into the desert in his command car, chasing down coordinates of a downed craft, Corso encountered an object that taunted his vision. In a surprisingly earnest tone, the retired soldier recalled that he thought he was “going a little bit nutty,” and remembered thinking, “This must be a hallucination, because these things don’t happen. The damn thing appeared and disappeared and appeared again. . . . I figured, ‘What the hell did I see? Am I getting drunk, hallucinating, or nuts?’” Eventually, Corso got the nerve to put his hand on the craft, but felt cold metal. What’s more, his compass started to spin, and his truck’s motor died. In the end, though, a telepathic voice urged Corso not to shoot. The pilots of the craft simply wanted the military to disengage their radars for 10 minutes, so the saucer could fly away without getting tracked. Corso in turn was told he and his race would be granted, “A new world, if you can take it.” Yet, one of the more surprising revelations embedded in the Corso video was his admission of one regret; he had “missed out” on something, as he put it, in his work with alien bodies recovered from the Roswell crash. “The greatest artifact that they gave us was [sic] those bodies,” Corso said. “And we didn’t do enough. For that, I can personally take blame. I had the money. I had the motivation. I had the people to do it. And I didn’t go far enough.” Corso continued: “We didn’t do enough --– how they function, how their brain functions. We came to the conclusion --– even in those days --– that the reason those flying saucers have failed [. . .] our contention was that this being is a part of a guidance system. He’s part of that saucer.” The thesis of The Day after Roswell is that the U.S. military obtained advanced technologies from the crashed craft –-- like miniaturized semiconductors, lasers, and fiberoptics. If aliens had already developed semiconductors for their scout ships, then it’s entirely possible that they bred robot-androids to serve as biomechanical processors, to handle more general tasks, such as carrying out surveying and sampling missions. Perhaps the aliens who crashed at Roswell can be seen as failed Pentium III chips. Parallels to contemporary robotics
A third reason for seven-foot alien beings to send worker bots to Earth revolves around our planet’s toxicology. Similar to Cannon’s explanation, this thesis suggests that Earth’s polluted atmosphere, hazardous waste, and diseases may be too much of a threat for the “real” aliens. Worker aliens –-- perhaps partly biological being, perhaps technological creature –-- would therefore be needed to handle true aliens’ “dirty work,” namely surveillance. The bots are more likely to get up close and personal, so to speak, with humans because they’re not in danger of getting sick. Due to their partly mechanical composition, they’re more immune to human disease.What NASA and pioneering robotics facilities are doing today doesn’t stray too far from this point. The Mars Sojourner (the vehicle deployed by MarsPathfinder) and the Pioneer Project (which is to send a robot into the Chernobyl nuclear reactor, to inspect and repair its interiors) are fine examples of how we’re sending robots into atmospheres that we can’t tolerate. The Day after Roswell holds an insight into where humankind is heading. Aliens gave us semiconductors. We improve the power of semiconductors over time, to the point where machines take on the capacity for consciousness. In turn, humans become more like machines, who develop their own machines to explore space. This is something that aliens from other dimensions might have been doing for ages

CARTE. Ovnis dans le Var: beaucoup de témoins et quatre cas énigmatiques
CARTE. Ovnis dans le Var: beaucoup de témoins et quatre cas énigmatiques
Une cellule spécialisée du Centre national d’études spatiales trouve une explication à la plupart des "phénomènes aérospatiaux". Mais quelques observations sur notre territoire restent énigmatiques.
L'attractivité du premier département touristique de France s'exerce-t-elle au-delà des frontières de notre système solaire? Les phénomènes aérospatiaux observés dans le ciel varois, comme ailleurs, constituent-ils une preuve de vie extraterrestre?
Ces questions virent parfois à l'obsession.
Le jeune chasseur d'ovnis dépêché à Vins-sur-Caramy en 1957, est devenu quarante ans plus tard un célèbre ufologue français, convaincu par les théories du complot les plus extrêmes: enlèvements extraterrestres, négociations secrètes entre gouvernants et civilisations lointaines, etc.
Un "cas d'école" dans le Var
Si l'affaire de l'ovni de Vins-sur-Caramy n'a pas convaincu les analystes de l'armée américaine (les complotistes n'en attendaient pas moins), l'affaire de la soucoupe volante de Trans-en-Provence, en 1981, marque la revanche de l'ufologie sur les sceptiques.
Cette "rencontre du deuxième type" est sérieusement classée, malgré pas mal d'expertises techniques et scientifiques, parmi les quatre phénomènes véritablement non identifiés dans le Var: à Saint-Raphaël en 1979, à Toulon, Ollioules et Trans-en-Provence en 1981 (voir notre carte ci-dessous).
La cellule chargée, au sein du Centre national d'études spatiales (Cnes) de Toulouse, d'étudier puis de classer les signalements de phénomène aérospatiaux recense par ailleurs dans le département une quinzaine de faits non identifiables, à cause d'un manque d'informations.
Même si dans le cas de l'observation du Thoronet, en 1995, l'hypothèse que le témoin a confondu un Ovni avec la lune est jugée possible...
Pour le reste - une petite vingtaine de dossiers ouverts en quarante ans -, les effets d'optique, le survol de drones, d'un hélicoptère, le passage lumineux d'un paquebot au grand large, d'une météorite dans l'atmosphère, voire la position de la station spatiale internationale permettent régulièrement de clore les enquêtes.
En rouge, les communes où des ovnis ont été observés.
A webcam owned by the Costa Rican seismological and vulcanology institute (OVSICORI) and installed near the Turrialba volcano in Costa Rica during an eruption yesterday (March 15, 2015) captured several UFOs above and near the Volcano.
At 0.37 in the video you can see that a part of the ash cloud spins around a kind of invisible shield of a UFO. Then it looks like an unknown force pushes the ash cloud away from the object.
At present we are busy working on our new book, Real Visitors, Voices from Beyond, and Parallel Dimensions, but some new research prompted us to recall when we were invited to make a presentation at the 20th Anniversary of the World Conference of the Ancient Astronaut Society in Las Vegas in 1993. Brad had been a speaker at the First World Conference of the Ancient Astronaut Society in 1974 in Chicago, which featured Erich Van Daniken, and we were delighted when Gene Phillips, the founder of the society, asked us to share our popular presentation “Understanding Our True Origins, Our Full Potential, and Our Ultimate Destiny” at the 20th anniversary gathering. During this lecture, based on on-site research in Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Hawaii, and Peru, we presented evidence of impossible fossils and ancient artifacts indicative of the possible involvement of an advanced technology in our planet’s prehistory.
There were many old friends on the speakers’ roster with whom we were eager to renew acquaintances, but we were so pleased to be able to meet for the first time Dr. Mates (Matest) Mendalevich Agrest (1915-2005) who, in 1959, became the first scientist to present the paleocontact hypothesis that Earth may have been visited by extraterrestrials in ancient times.
While Dr. Agrest was the first among the international tribe of scientists to present the concept that extraterrestrials had interacted with humans in Earth’s vast antiquity, the possibility had been thumping around in the creative minds of writers for quite some time. Work of science fiction aside, nonfiction writers had explored the paleocontact hypothesis since the beginning of the last century. Charles Fort’s The Book of the Damned, 1919, was arguably the first to suggest that we may not be alone—and never had been. In 1954, after folks around the world had begun sighting flying saucers and becoming excited by the possibility of extraterrestrial invasion, Harold Wilkins published his Flying Saucers from the Moon. Imaginations enflamed and research energies enriched by the appearance of more unknown visitors in our skies, other works were soon to follow: Morris K. Jessup, UFOs and the Bible, 1956; Peter Kolosimo, The Unknown Planet, 1957; George Hunt Williamson, Secret Places of the Lion, 1958; Jacques Bergier and Louis Pauwels, The Morning of the Magicians, 1959; Brinsley Le Poer Trench, The Sky People, 1960; Robert Charroux, One Hundred Thousand Years of Man’s Unknown History, 1963; W. Raymond Drake, Gods or Spacemen, 1964; Paul Misraki, Flying Saucers Through the Ages, 1965; John Michell, The Flying Saucer Vision, 1967–and then the breakthrough book that gave the world the term “Ancient Astronauts,” Erich von Daniken, Chariots of the Gods, 1968.
Thus while numerous books about historical evidence of paleocontact had filled adventurous readers’ minds with images of aliens constructing ancient monuments and teaching the rudiments of civilization to early humans—and dozens have arrived at bookstores since—it was Dr. Agrest’s Cosmonauts of Antiquity (also known as the Astronauts of Lore) in 1961 that boldly declared the hypothesis of the first scientist who dared to theorize that extraterrestrials had visited Earth in its antiquity.
Born in Mogliev, Byelorussia in 1915, Agrest attended St. Petersburg State University, and, in 1938, he earned his doctorate in science, physics, and mathematics from the University of Leningrad. In 1970, he became the Chief of the University’s Laboratory.
As Dr. Agrest recalled, it was during a summer night in 1959, that the paleocontact hypothesis seemed to burst into fruition in his brain. He had been reading the Biblical book of Genesis in one of the most ancient translation of the Bible into Aramaic, the Torgum Andelessa, when the passages about the Nephilim, commonly noted as the “giants in the Earth in those days,” were in the Aramaic identified as “the fallen ones.” Piecing together the identification of the Nephilim as “fallen ones” or “those who cause others to fall” with the accounts in the apocryphyl book Enoch about the Watchers and Enoch’s ascension into heaven, Dr. Agrest quickly reviewed the stories about the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah by “angels.” Rather than angelic beings visiting the sinful cities and obeying God’s will to destroy them with heavenly wrath, Dr. Agrest now perceived the great blast that demolished the cities as a nuclear explosion. In 1959, after a controversial series of articles in Moscow’s Literary Gazette presenting the paleocontact theory and enduring ridicule and attacks from his fellow Soviet scientists, Dr. Agrest wrote Cosmonauts of Antiquity in 1961.
At the time that we spoke with Dr. Agrest, he and his family had immigrated to the United States and had been living in Charleston, South Carolina for two years. He was pleased to detail his interpretation of the Old Testament’s account of the destruction of the twin cities of sin, Sodom and Gomorrah. In his view, simply stated, the two cities were fused together under the searing heat of a pre-paleolithic atomic explosion.
In Genesis 19: 1-28, Dr. Agrest told us, we are informed that Lot is waiting by the community gate of Sodom when two angels approach him. Some scholars conclude that Lot must have made prior arrangements to meet these heavenly beings. After their meeting, he escorts the entities to his home where they are fed and lodged.
Such researchers as Professor Agrest maintain that if these angels were wholly spiritual beings, they would not have been interested in an evening meal, nor in a bed for the night.
Later, when the coarse men of Sodom pound on Lot's door and demand to ''know'' his visitors sexually, the an¬gels appear to employ some kind of unusual weapon that instantly blinds the Sodomites and blots out their lust.
When Lot is informed by the heavenly representatives that Sodom will soon be destroyed, he chooses to remain in the city. Neither Lot nor other members of his family seem to take the warning seriously.
However, when the morning sun rises, the angels urge Lot and his family to flee at once. Those who subscribe to Professor Agrest's theory believe that a nuclear device had been triggered and the “angels” had been assigned to lead Lot and his family away from the blast area.
Perhaps Alien Overlords had become concerned by the rampant sin and perversion being conducted by their hu¬man creations in those cities, and they utilized an nuclear bomb as the fastest way of eliminating the transgressors from the “laboratory.”
Dr. Agrest joked that when he first presented his theory in the former Soviet Union he had been more highly criticized by his Com¬munist colleagues for having read the Bible and other holy works to arrive at certain conclusions than he was for issuing provocative statements about our planet's unknown history.
The diminutive, white-haired, soft-spoken Dr. Agrest pointed out that a number of sacred Hindu texts also contain many descriptions of airships appearing in the sky at the “beginning of time.” The Manusola Puma tells of “an iron thunderbolt,” a gigantic messenger of death that reduced to ashes the entire race of the Vrishnis and the Andhakas. The corpses were so burned as to be unrecognizable. Those who survived the initial blast had their hair and nails fall out. Pottery broke without any apparent cause, and the birds turned white. After a few hours all foodstuffs were infected. ''The thunderbolt was reduced to fine dust.”
In Dr. Agrest's opinion the above is a poetic, yet explicit, description of an atomic blast with its resultant deadly fallout.
Another Hindu text records the destruction of three cities by “a single projectile charged with all the power of the universe. An incandescent column of smoke and flame, as bright as ten thousand suns, rose in all its splendor … “
Sacred Hindu texts also tell of the wrath of the Alien Overlords and clearly delineate flying machines, advanced technology, and awesome weapons wielded by supernatural beings in ancient times. The Hindu hymns, the Rig- Veda, constitute some of the oldest known religious documents, and tell of the achievements of the Hindu pantheon.
Indra, who became known as the “fort destroyer” because of his exploits in war, was said to travel through the skies in a flying machine, the Vimana. This craft was equipped with weapons capable of destroying a city. These weapons seem to have had an effect like that of laser beams or a nuclear device.
Another ancient Indian text, the Mahabharata, tells of an attack on an enemy army: “It was as if the elements had been unfurled. The sun spun around in the heavens. The world shuddered in fever, scorched by the terrible heat of this weapon. Elephants burst into flames … The rivers boiled. Animals crumpled to the ground and died … Forests collapsed in splintered rows. Horses and chariots were burned up … The corpses of the fallen were mutilated by the terrible heat so that they looked other than human.”
There are many very old traditions that speak of a war between the forces of light and darkness that raged in humankind's prehistory. Perhaps there were rival extraterrestrial forces that fought for dominance over prehistoric Earth.
Throughout our world there are accounts of sand melted into glass in certain desert areas, of hill forts with vitrified portions of stone walls, of the remains of ancient cities destroyed by what appears to have been extreme heat–far beyond what could have been created by the torches of primitive human armies. Even conventionally trained archaeologists encountering such anomalous finds have admitted that none of these catastrophes could have been caused by volcanoes, lightning, crashing comets, or conflagrations set by prehistoric humankind.
Rajasthan Times (March 11, 2010) reports: A group of anthropologists working with hill tribes in a remote area of India have made a startling discovery: Intricate prehistoric cave paintings depicting aliens and UFO type craft.
The images were found in the Hoshangabad district of the state of Madhya Pradesh only 70 kilometers from the local administrative center of Raisen. The caves are hidden deep within dense jungle. A clear image of what might be an alien in a space suit can be seen in one cave painting along with a classical flying saucer-shaped UFO that appears to be either beaming something down or beaming something up, in what might be an ancient UFO abduction scenario. A force-field or trail of some sort is seen at the rear of the UFO. Also visible is another object that might depict a wormhole, explaining how aliens were able to reach Earth. This image may lead UFO enthusiasts to conclude that the images might have been drawn with the involvement of aliens themselves.

Extra information about the article:
At present we are busy working on our new book, Real Visitors, Voices from Beyond, and Parallel Dimensions, but some new research prompted us to…
MERIDA, YUCATAN – Perhaps as a result of the last two “UFO skywatches” people have become more inclined to look at the heavens, causing a notable increase in UFO reports in the city of Mérida. I have received 21 cases throughout February and up to this date in March, both by phone and e-mail.
Never before had I received so many reports in that brief span of time, showing the interest that the subject has caused among Meridans in recent dates. Another factor could be the case of the truck driver who recorded at least 5 spheres flying around in broad daylight back in December 2014 in downtown Mérida – a case that has given much to talk about even internationally.
While it is true that the 21 reports do not contribute unquestionable evidence that confirms the presence of vehicles from other worlds, we do have information that allows us to believe we are not dealing with objects having a logical explanation.

One of the reports came from the Ampliación Juan Pablo II District from Mr. Fernando Ku Carrillo:
“I was returning home along the Anillo Períferico Poniente(beltway) on 18 February. I had just about reached the entrance of the Susulá sheriff's office when I suddenly saw a zig-zagging light, a fact that caught my attention, as I thought at first that it looked like an airplane light, but by the movements it made, it was impossible that what I saw was a plane, as these [movements] were very quick. Furthermore, I travel through the area frequently and am accustomed to seeing airliners turning to make their final approach to the airport.”
Don Fernando points out that the time was around six thirty in the evening: “It was still bright, and it was a light that became stronger at intervals. It couldn't have been a satellite, much less a star. It shocked me so much that I pulled over (on the beltway) to take a look. When I got out of the car, I managed to see it making the same movement, and when I was about to take a picture with my cellphone, it took off at full speed and vanished in a matter of instants. I know it's hard for you to believe me, as I have no proof, but I wanted to send you this report in case others have seen something similar in this are or in another section of the city.”
Elsewhere, Aaron Vela, who lives in Ciudad Industrial – near the airport – submitted a report almost identical to the previous one. He saw the object on March 3 (15 days after Don Fernando) and saw it to the north of his current position, that is, along the same road. A similar object was seen on the far end of the city in the Salvador Alvarado Oriente district, near the bridge at the Anillo Periférico over by Fidel Velázquez Avenue. It was there that Mrs. Josefina Manrique remarks that she was waiting for her son, who had entered a shop, and she casually looked up at the sky, noticing what she first took to be a star. “It was around nine o'clock at night. The star's light caught my attention, as it outshone all others. Suddenly, to my surprise, I saw it move quickly and disappear. My son think's I'm nuts, but I'm sure about what I saw.”
Next week we'll discuss other reports we have received, since at least ten of these reports contain information that cannot be considered relevant.

On March 15, 2015, a dashcam caught a weird looking green fireball over Switzerland.
Probably it is just a meteorite but it looks artificial, going all in perfect straight line and at 30 seconds in the first video, it looks like the tail re ignited and accelerated.
Europe’s physics lab CERN in Switserland said Thursday they had begun tests in preparation for rebooting the world’s biggest particle collider and trying to uncover new particles that could alter our understanding of the Universe and yesterday after they nearly doubled the energy levels possible in the collider, CERN scientists have their sights set on finding exotic new particles in a previously-inaccessible realm.
Although it seems unlikely we may wonder if the fireball has something to do with CERN.
The Paranormal Chronicles has received a report of strange lights flying over Pembroke. Jo Chambers from Pembroke saw the lights at approx 10 p.m on Thursday 12th March and was able to photograph the object. Jo had this to say on the sighting.
“I live Wales in Pembroke, overlooking Pembroke town, last night l witnessed something strange, I was pulling the curtains at about ten o’clock, when I saw several lights in the sky over the town. They vanished quickly then immediately reappeared again forming what looked like a V shape then again disappeared and didn’t reappear. I took two photos on my mobile. To the right of the pictures you can see the lamp post outside my house and to the left of that the lights in the sky, as far as I’m aware there was nothing on in the town last night, I’ve Googled it and found nothing, l was wondering if anyone else saw anything.”
The Object was said to have made no sound. The Paranormal Chronicles is waiting on responses from various aviation sources to see if any aircraft were in the area at the time as part of its investigation into the mysterious lights.
With so much air traffic in the area from The Castlemartin Training Area and civilian aircraft from Withybush airport could this sighting have an rational explanation? Flares from Castle martin may be the cause but we are yet to have confirmation on if any exercise was in progress on the night in question.
Pembrokeshire has been a hot bed of UFO activity with sightings in July 2014 witnessed in Haverfordwest which then resulted an epidemic of sightings across Wales (read more). In the late 70’s and Early 1980’s Pembrokeshire was the focus of unprecedented UFO activity with hundreds of witness experiencing strange alien encounters as part of the world renowned Welsh Triangle. Have these alien visitors returned?

Bright craft flying over San Antonio, Texas 13-Mar-2015
Here’s a new video of a two linked lights in the sky above San Antonio, Texas. This was filmed on 13th March 2015.
Witness report:As i was Skywatching i notice this low glowing light above some trees..No FAA navigational light’s were visible so i quickly grabbed my camera for a closer look..When zooming in you can clearly see it was no Airplane it was a U.F.O Craft..At first It appeared to hover over the area.I decided to pan back using the tree tops and a street light as reference points..You can clearly see U.F.O Craft travel above some tree tops…Giving us the altitude it was..This was an awesome sighting due to how low it was…At some point it began to pick up speed until it was gone and out of view..In my opinion this UFO Craft was clearly no aircraft/satellite….

Costa Rica – 13 March 2015 Hi, I’m from Costa Rica this video was taken yesterday at 20:55 Costa Rican time at Turrialba volcano . It was filmed by a webcam installed near the crater during an eruption , you can see a UFO at the right side of the screen during the video but at minute 52 you can see it going up … What do you think ? The video is available at the OVSICORI , which is the Costa Rican seismological and vulcanology institute.
Mazandaran, Iran – 12.march. 2015 hi . my name is ashkan and im a ufo hunter i live in iran . last night lots of people at sea side saw a ufo that was flying in the sky with a light of something like fire … it seems that it has a problem like burning in fire !! then it fell in the sea ( caspian sea ) . but there are lots of people that beleive that it was a uso not a ufo !! and it swam in the sea by it self . but all of them believe that it was something unusual and its not related to the earth . and also there were no air planes that flew last night and persian air force told it could be any thing except a plane or any other flying object realated to the earth …

Seaside Oregon – march 7th 2015 Saturday, march 7th, seaside oregon, 5 glowing orange lights in triangle pattern. Lasted about ten minutes. Two lights would burn out making a triangle of three and then just a single light, when it was a single light another triangle of three appeared. This one would change shape and eventually burned down to one light then none. They seemed attached to something because they kept the triangle shape, even the second one that changed a bit was still a triangle. There was also no take off so they couldn’t have been balloons or lanterns. They also left no trails and it was probably around 10pm.

Perth city Western Australia – 5 March – present i have been watching these ufo / lights for the last 5 nights. They appear just before sunset and disappear about 4 am. They r multi coloured change into orb/ globes of light, divide, disappear and reappear. There are many positioned all over Perth city for the last few nights, at a glance they look like a bright star but obviously not, I filmed with my Sony Xperia z2 phone 20mp zoomed in as far as I could, the quality of film isn’t to bad considering.
Port Moody, BC, Canada – February 27 2015 approx 7:20 PM I was sitting underneath my balcony having a cigar, then I noticed these 3 bright lights not too far up in the sky sitting still in a triangle formation. They seemed kinda more like orbs… as I was watching them, the right bottom orb faded away (didn’t fly or move), it just disappeared; vanished. So thats when I pulled out my phone and tried taking a picture cause now there were only two orbs… I snapped the photo (attached) and as I’m still watching, the top orb vanished as well as the last one. I didn’t think to record a video because I was way too interested on what these lights were, I am wishing I did. The First photo is the original (not zoomed) and the other two are just zoomed. I also attached a daylight shot on where the photo was exactly taken. Great Experience!

Johannesburg, South Africa – February 22, 2015 I was taking pictures of the city-scape from my house, and never noticed anything in the sky until I looked at the photos afterwards. There is nothing in the pictures taken before or after, though they were taken only seconds apart. In higher magnification,it seems to be tetrahedral in shape, with a central column. It looks similar to a sighting of a triangular UFO reported 7 Feb 2015 over the UK.

NASA's Dawn spacecraft has become the first mission to achieve orbit around a dwarf planet. The spacecraft was approximately 38,000 miles (61,000 kilometers) from Ceres when it was captured by the dwarf planet's gravity at about 4:39 a.m. PST (7:39 a.m. EST) Friday.
Mission controllers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California received a signal from the spacecraft at 5:36 a.m. PST (8:36 a.m. EST) that Dawn was healthy and thrusting with its ion engine, the indicator Dawn had entered orbit as planned.
"Since its discovery in 1801, Ceres was known as a planet, then an asteroid and later a dwarf planet," said Marc Rayman, Dawn chief engineer and mission director at JPL. "Now, after a journey of 3.1 billion miles (4.9 billion kilometers) and 7.5 years, Dawn calls Ceres, home."
In addition to being the first spacecraft to visit a dwarf planet, Dawn also has the distinction of being the first mission to orbit two extraterrestrial targets. From 2011 to 2012, the space-craft explored the giant asteroid Vesta, delivering new insights and thousands of images from that distant world. Ceres and Vesta are the two most massive residents of our solar system's main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
The most recent images received from the spacecraft, taken on March 1, show Ceres as a crescent, mostly in shadow because the spacecraft's trajectory put it on a side of Ceres that faces away from the sun until mid-April. When Dawn emerges from Ceres' dark side, it will deliver ever-sharper images as it spirals to lower orbits around the planet.
"We feel exhilarated," said Chris Russell, principal investigator of the Dawn mission at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). "We have much to do over the next year and a half, but we are now on station with ample reserves, and a robust plan to obtain our science objectives."
Dawn's mission is managed by JPL for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Dawn is a project of the directorate's Discovery Program, managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. UCLA is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. Orbital ATK Inc., in Dulles, Virginia, designed and built the spacecraft. The German Aerospace Center, Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Italian Space Agency and Italian National Astrophysical Institute are international partners on the mission team.

Renowned British physicist Stephen Hawking warns human beings won’t survive “without escaping” from the “fragile” planet. His gloomy forecast is people will become extinct on Earth within current the millennium.
Speaking at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles the 71-year-old scientist called for further exploration of space to guarantee the future of mankind, the Belfast Telegraph reports.
“We must continue to go into space for humanity. If you understand how the universe operates, you control it in a way,” Professor Hawking said, adding that “we won’t survive another 1,000 years without escaping our fragile planet.”
Space exploration has however been struggling with the global financial crisis and has too proven subject to spending cuts. In particular NASA’s planetary science budget, which is seen as crucial to finding habitable planets, was slashed by $300 million this year.
At the same time, the Mars race has not been abandoned.
On Monday NASA concluded from Curiosity Rover’s findings that the red planet is gradually turning cold after losing a large part of its original atmosphere. Russia, in its turn, has signed a deal with the European Space Agency to become a full-fledged partner in the ExoMars project, a new attempt to discover if there is life on Mars and eventually send a manned mission there. In 2010 and 2011, the Mars-500 experiment was carried out in Moscow: a group of six volunteers were locked inside a simulated spacecraft for 520 days – the time it would take to make a round trip to the planet. Back at the LA Medical Center, Hawking was touring a stem cell lab, which is focused on trying to slow the progression of Lou Gehrig’s disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. He’s been suffering the incurable ailment, which attacks nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control the muscles, for 50 years. Director of Cedars-Sinai’s ALS program, Dr. Robert Baloh, has admitted that he is unable to explain Hawking’s longevity, because people rarely live more than a dozen years with this diagnosis. “But 50 years is unusual, to say the least,” Baloh said. Hawking was diagnosed with the neurological disorder while a student at Cambridge University at the age of 21. He is confined to a wheelchair and needs permanent assistance. The only movement he is able to do on his own is to twitch the cheek. He communicates with the rest of the world by means of the built-in wheelchair computer, which conveys the owner’s thoughts by a monotonous robot’s voice. “However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at,” Hawking added speaking of dealing with his health condition. Despite his grave diagnosis, Professor Hawking has remained active. In 2007, he floated like an astronaut on an aircraft that creates zero-gravity by making parabolic dives. Hawking spent his career on decoding the Universe, working on black holes and the origin of matter. The Professor brought his esoteric physics concepts to the masses through his books, including “A Brief History of Time” published in 1988, which was sold 10 million copies worldwide. Source rt.com
Why have recent mainstream films portrayed “aliens” as thin, muscular, wrinkly-faced villains, naked (yet sexless) monsters who break into the homes of innocent families and terrorize them for terror's sake? Are they suggesting that Lance Armstrong is an extraterrestrial?
The roided-out waifs skitter (complete with skittering noises) upside down on the ceilings of psychic six year old boys like spiders drunk on CGI. They flit behind the backs of shrill and foul-mouthed housewives flossing their potty mouths in the bathroom mirror (the mirror gimmick is the oldest and cheapest horror movie trick, of course.) They square off against lumpy yet testosterone-laden dads like a bunch of interstellar Leatherfaces armed with space age chainsaws. And sometimes their trans-galactic motherships go against our F-16s (and usually lose.)
These films have all the character of the average Walmart. They are loaded with special effects as subtle as the sugar and salt poured on the food at a TGI Friday's, and they are shoved down the gullets of a public grown inane and insipid through the failure of public education. At best they are made by someone outside of the field (M. Night Shymalan) who condescends to the subject matter.
To square away my negativity, I will list some of the worst offenders and be done with it: Independence Day, Signs, The Fourth Kind, Alien Abduction.
So what would make a good film on the phenomena? My provisional answer: a hybrid (perhaps featuring hybrids as characters) between a horror thriller and a profound religious experience, perhaps an idiosyncratic “visual prayer” with enough eerie sequences to raise the hair on one's back, and even enough horror (though not of the dumb and gory kind) to inspire the brainier teens to cuddle close on their date nights.
Films even obliquely related to what I call “the phenomena” should be spiritual experiences or nothing at all; an electric church, a chapel perilous, a hedonistic temple, a dusty library full of old tomes, or an impromptu initiation in even as banal a place as the Walmart parking lot. Why not combine the creepy as well as the commonplace with all the verve and vivacity of “A Midsummer Night's Dream”?
A UFO abduction film should be crucifixion after crucifixion followed by, in Henry Miller's words, “resurrection after resurrection.” The most intractable Zen koans should be sandwiched between the daily marches to Golgotha. Is that too much to ask? If the gauntlet I have just thrown down is too severe, can someone at least make a half-way intelligent film on the topic?
Who would be the best man to direct a worthwhile film on the visitors? My answer: Alejandro Jodorowsky.
In his film “The Holy Mountain”, a Holy Fool and 8 industrialist pilgrims embark on a quest for immortality. Each of the nine pilgrims represents a different planet in our solar system and an archetype.Their pursuits and professions are satires of the various absurdities and excesses in our society. This exaggerated mirror image is such an exercise in strident surrealism and symbolism that the viewer is almost made to feel as if the character Lut (a successful art dealer) really does live in some kind of dimensional space-time pocket on the planet Jupiter. Berg (a financial adviser) must really be a mama's boy who lives on Uranus and advises the President of the United States to improve the economy through wholesale slaughter. And so on and so forth with the other archetypal characters. “The Holy Mountain” and Jodorowsky's other films are more unintentionally “alien” than any of the intentionally alien blockbusters mentioned above.
So imagine Jodorowsky doing a film on the phenomenon of alien abductions. Unfortunately, he is 86 years old and working on other projects.
But I have a camcorder from 1995. I'm sure I could do something better than Alien Abduction.
It is generally believed that mankind of the XXI century is much more progressive than our predecessors, who lived hundreds and thousands of years ago. However, in ancient times, there were technologies that could come in handy in our days. Unfortunately, though, the secrets of those technologies have been irretrievably lost.
Mysteries of history: Greek fire
Let’s take the period of antiquity. An expert on folklore and history of science at Stanford, Adrienne Mayor, unveiled some very interesting, yet little known details of that period, in the book titled “Greek Fire, Poison Arrows & Scorpion Bombs: Biological and Chemical Warfare in the Ancient World.”
Image from an illuminated manuscript, the Madrid Skylitzes, showing Greek fire in use against the fleet of the rebel en:Thomas the Slav The caption above the left ship reads, στόλος Ρωμαίων πυρπολῶν τὸν τῶν ἐναντίων στόλον, i.e. “the fleet of the Romans setting ablaze the fleet of the enemies”.

Do you know what Greek fire is? In VII-XII centuries, the people of Byzantium used this chemical as a weapon in sea battles. They would splash this liquid at enemy soldiers – and the latter would turn into pillars of flame. The water was no rescue, as the liquid continued to burn even in the water. To extinguish the fire, one required sand, vinegar or urine.
Greek fire can be seen on a miniature of Madrid manuscript of John Skylitzes, which depicts a battle of the Romans with the flotilla of Thomas the Slav, the leader of the anti-feudal revolt in Byzantium. The following words can be seen above one of the ships: “The Romans set the enemy fleet on fire.”
Mysteries of History: Beam weapen
Famous Greek scholar Archimedes, who died in 212 BC, allegedly developed a beam weapon, with which it became possible to burn a Persian fleet. The weapon was made of bronze shields that could reflect sunshine in a destructive way.
In 2005, students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology managed to invent such a technology. The students conducted a successful experiment, in which they burned a boat in the harbor of San Francisco.
Archimedes may have used mirrors acting collectively as a parabolic reflector to burn ships attacking Syracuse

The extraordinary durability of buildings built in Roman times also deserves attention. Many of them were built thousands of years ago, but one can touch them even today. However, modern buildings start crumbling in just a few decades …
As it turned out recently, the secret of longevity of Roman concrete lies in one of its ingredients – volcanic ash. Experts at the University of California at Berkeley found that a compound of calcium, aluminum, silicate and hydrate serves as a binder, while making the material less durable than modern concrete. That is, in case of explosion, for example, such a construction would be demolished, although it would last longer than modern buildings under favorable conditions.
Ancient sources can give us some bits of information about so-called flexible glass. For the first time, it was mentioned by Petronius, who died in 63 AD. He told the story of a glassblower, who presented a glass jar as a gift to Emperor Tiberius (14-37 years BC). In emperor’s presence, the glassblower dropped the jar on the floor, but the jar did not break into pieces. The fall only deformed the glass jar slightly before it regained its original shape. Tiberius ordered to behead the glassblower. The emperor assumed that the man could do the same to precious metals.
It was only in 2012, when a company called Corning developed flexible “willow glass”. The material is heat-resistant and flexible enough to be rolled up. For the time being, the material is used in the production of solar batteries.
Mysteries of History: Damascus steel and mitridatium
Many have heard of the miraculous Damascus steel, from which swords were forged in the Middle East during the Middle Ages? This technology originated approximately in 300 AD. For a long time, Damascus steel was considered the strongest metal in the history of mankind, although the exact composition of this steel remained secret. It was only known that it was based on special alloy – damask.
Damascus steel

In the middle of the XVIII century, the production of Damascus steel was stopped. The secret of this metal was unraveled not that long ago, in laboratory conditions, with the help of scanning electronic microscopy.
King Mithridates VI of Pontus (120-63 years BC), supposedly invented the recipe for a universal antidote that allegedly was a remedy to all poisons. The substance was named after the inventor – mitridatium. Subsequently, a personal physician of the Roman Caesar Nero perfected the formula of the substance. The original recipe was lost in time; we only know that mitridatium included opium and a combination of low doses of various poisons and their antidotes.
In 1992, former Soviet biologist Sergey Popov, who emigrated to the United States, tried to recreate mitridatium, although to no avail.
Scientists from Northumbria, Edinburgh, and Newcastle have theorized that dry ice or carbon dioxide, which is in abundance on Mars, could power human colonies on the Red Planet in the future.
A research published in Nature Communications has proposed a new engine that would harvest energy from dry ice to generate power on Mars.
In the case of carbon dioxide, blocks of the material are able to ascend above a hot surface because of protection given by the layer of evaporated gas.
Researchers propose harnessing the power of that gas to power engines – the first time anyone has proposed to use the Leidenfrost effect to generate energy.
Dr. Rodrigo Ledesma-Aguilar, one of the co-authors of the research paper, said:
“By placing water droplets and small blocks of dry ice on top of hot, turbine-like surfaces, we have used the Leidenfrost effect to create rotational motion. The turbines channel the released vapor, whose flow in turn drives the levitating surface above to rotate”.
“Carbon dioxide plays a similar role on Mars as water does on Earth. It is a widely available resource, which undergoes cyclic phase changes under the natural Martian temperature variations.
“Perhaps future power stations on Mars will exploit such a resource to harvest energy as dry-ice blocks evaporate, or to channel the chemical energy extracted from other carbon-based sources, such as methane gas.
“One thing is certain: our future on other planets depends on our ability to adapt our knowledge to the constraints imposed by strange worlds, and to devise creative ways to exploit natural resources that do not naturally occur here on Earth,”Dr. Rodrigo added.
An engine based on the Leidenfrost effect is different to the steam-based used on Earth.
“The high-pressure vapor layer creates freely rotating rotors whose energy is converted into power without the need of a bearing, thus conferring the new engine with low-friction properties,” explained Dr. Gary Well, another co-author.
“This is the starting point of an exciting avenue of research in smart materials engineering. In the future, Leidenfrost-based devices could find applications in wide ranging fields, spanning from frictionless transport to outer space exploration,”remarked Professor Glen McHale, executive dean for Engineering and Environment at the university.
In lay man’s term, trips to Mars might not be a one-way affair in the future as there could be enough energy generated and harvested to help power spaceships to travel between Mars and Earth.
Tijd voor een boodschap naar buitenaardse basis ( Video )
Tijd voor een boodschap naar buitenaardse basis ( Video )
We weten ondertussen dat er een aantal buitenaardse bases zijn op onze planeet.
Misschien wordt het hoog tijd dat we proberen om daar een boodschap naartoe te sturen.
Dat is het idee van ufoloog Scott Waring na de zoveelste waarneming van een UFO bij de Mexicaanse vulkaan Popocatépetl.
Dit is wat er enkele dagen geleden werd waargenomen.
Zoals Scott zegt is het al jarenlang bekend dat er zich onder deze vulkaan een buitenaardse basis bevindt en dat het nu misschien hoog tijd wordt dat wij als mensheid gaan proberen om daar een boodschap naartoe te sturen.
Hoe dan dat precies zou moeten weet hij ook niet, maar hij stelt voor om zoiets als een sonische laser te gebruiken.
Ze vertonen zich iedere dag voor onze ogen en wij kijken ernaar en doen helemaal niets. Wie weet wachten zij wel op ons om contact te maken.
Het nieuwe jaar is slechts enkele maanden oud en in die paar maanden hebben we talloze voorbeelden kunnen zien van buitenaardse aanwezigheid op onze planeet.
De onderstaande video geeft een aantal prachtige voorbeelden uit de eerste twee maanden van 2015.
Op alle fronten laten ze zich zien, fotograferen en filmen. Dat zal ongetwijfeld een reden hebben en misschien heeft Scott gelijk en is het aan ons om actief contact te zoeken.

As Dr. Agrest recalled, it was during a summer night in 1959, that the paleocontact hypothesis seemed to burst into fruition in his brain. He had been reading the Biblical book of Genesis in one of the most ancient translation of the Bible into Aramaic, the Torgum Andelessa, when the passages about the Nephilim, commonly noted as the “giants in the Earth in those days,” were in the Aramaic identified as “the fallen ones.” Piecing together the identification of the Nephilim as “fallen ones” or “those who cause others to fall” with the accounts in the apocryphyl book Enoch about the Watchers and Enoch’s ascension into heaven, Dr. Agrest quickly reviewed the stories about the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah by “angels.” Rather than angelic beings visiting the sinful cities and obeying God’s will to destroy them with heavenly wrath, Dr. Agrest now perceived the great blast that demolished the cities as a nuclear explosion. In 1959, after a controversial series of articles in Moscow’s Literary Gazette presenting the paleocontact theory and enduring ridicule and attacks from his fellow Soviet scientists, Dr. Agrest wrote Cosmonauts of Antiquity in 1961.
