Some people want to believe while others simply don’t. To most of us, the effects of the UFO phenomenon go no further than this and we go on with our daily lives. The following people were a little less lucky and their lives were abruptly cut short either by getting too close to something or by simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
U.S Air Force Captain Thomas Mantell’s death is linked to one of the earliest and most famous UFO encounters. It took place in 1948, a mere six months after the term ‘flying saucers’ had been coined by Kenneth Arnold.
On January 7, Kentucky State Police alerted the tower operators at Godman AFB near Fort Knox, reporting a huge object flying at high altitude. The object was conical in shape and had a shiny, metallic surface and a red tip. It was seen by multiple witnesses, both civilian and military.
Three P-51 aircraft led by USAF Captain Thomas Mantell were sent to investigate. As he was climbing towards the UFO, Capt. Mantell reported seeing “a metallic object or possibly the reflection of sun from a metallic object, and it is of tremendous size.”
The other pilots fell back as their aircraft were not equipped for high altitude flight but Mantell continued his pursuit. He reached an altitude of 22,000 feet (6,700 meters) and his last message was that he was taking a closer look. An hour later, his dead body was found amid the wreckage of his plane. The official explanation was that he had been chasing Venus and fainted due to a lack of oxygen. In the 1950’s the statement changed. He had apparently chased a CIA-sponsored Skyhook balloon.
Needless to say, many believe he was shot down by the conical UFO.
Brazil has seen quite a number of UFO sightings over the years and one of the most gruesome fates was suffered by João Prestes Filho.
On the evening of March 5, 1946, he was shot in the head by a beam that came from the skies. He panicked and ran to his sister’s house. At first, it seemed he had suffered nothing more than a scare but his body soon began exhibiting some very strange symptoms. According to witnesses, his flesh began falling away from his bones. His jaw, chest, arms and legs were affected at first but soon his entire body had deteriorated beyond recognition.
“His teeth and bones stood revealed, utterly bare of flesh,” his sister recalled.
Despite virtually disintegrating, João reported feeling no pain whatsoever. He died while being transported to a nearby hospital.
The strange lights seen in the area at that time suggest a possible UFO connection.
Brazilian Inacio de Souza and his wife were returning home on August 13, 1967 when they encountered three humanoids wearing yellow suits. Hovering nearby was a ship that Inacio said looked like an inverted wash-basin. Startled by their appearance and the fact that they were heading for him, Inacio shot his rifle at one of the strangers. It had no effect.
The UFO retaliated by shooting a green ray of light directly into de Souza’s head. The visitors then disappeared.
Inacio spent the next days drifting in and out of consciousness and despite his wife’s testimony and the circular burn marks on his skin, doctors believed he had suffered nothing more than a vivid hallucination.
A few days later, he was diagnosed with leukemia and he died on October 11, 1967. The doctors were confused by the speed with which his disease spread.
While some believe this incident is nothing more than coincidence, others see no problem in connecting the dots and claiming he had been indeed killed by an alien death ray.
New York UFO researcher Jennifer Stevens apparently got too close to something. In February 1968, she was investigating a strange event that had led to the death of a teenage boy. She had been notified that a strange fireball was seen rising above Mohawk River and two boys even reported catching a glimpse of a humanoid in a white suit.
The following morning, the body of a 16-year-old boy was found in the area. He had only been missing for six hours but his body was deeply frozen. The policemen who found him said he had a terrified look. His footprints suggested that he had been running before being pulled up by something. This aspect intrigued Jennifer Stevens and she believed the boy’s death and the UFO sighting were somehow connected.
A few days later, her husband was approached by a mysterious ‘saturnine-looking’ man who told him that UFO researchers “should be very careful.” Jennifer’s husband, Peter, died a sudden and unexpected death shortly after this encounter.
Jennifer Stevens got the message and gave up her research.
FARMERS CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH ALIENS IN COLUMBIA 1950 …….. Floridablanca Bucamaranga Colombia
13-year old deaf mute, William Ortiz was riding his horse on a gravel road in his parent’s property when peering through the growth of vegetation on one side of the road, he noticed a child-like figure, but continued on his way. Then in an opening through the brush and in top of a large rock, he saw a disc shaped object with little figures around it. After staring at it he stopped in confusion, looked over his shoulder, and noticed one of the child-like figures next to him. He noticed that the entity wore some type of uniform, very tight fitting and covering the neck and legs. He also wore boots. The collar ended like a turtleneck, and he could see something like a seam in the form of a V on the shoulders. The hands only had four fingers, he was not really so sure. The being had a large hairless head. The eyes were big, oval shaped and very black, some of the other crewmember’s eyes were smaller than the others. There were no ears, just a little hole on each side of the head; the nose was small as well as the lips, which never moved. The skin color was grayish brown. The entity closest to him appeared to be a male. The others looked the same. The entity closest to him, looked directly into Ortiz’s eyes and started sending him messages and at the same time using hand signals or language. Eight enigmatic words were given by the entity, which included “sky” “love” & “secret.” After the message, the entity made a turn toward the rock. At this moment Ortiz could not see the rest of the crew. The entity went back to the object half walking, half floating, very fast. Then the object went straight up, made a turn to the southwest, and disappeared into the horizon. The rock on which the object rested has many peculiar symbols carved on it that included lines, circles, disk shapes, serpents and other symbols.

A British witness at London reported following a strange light hovering about 150 feet in the sky and discovered a group of five objects, according to testimony in Case 64007 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness had just dropped off his girlfriend at her home about 11:45 p.m. on March 10, 2015, on a quiet night.
“I was about to cross the road to go home to my flat when first I looked up in the sky in this same direction I always look in,” the witness stated.
The witness has seen unusual objects in the same area and saw a “strange light” that appeared to be hovering.

“It was not moving. It looked pure red with a reddish glow and was round and about 6 feet wide and 6 feet tall. I stayed still looking at it to see if it was just a star not moving or the movement of the clouds eluding me.”
After watching the object for about 20 seconds, the witness said the object began to move.
“It suddenly started moving at about 10 miles per hour and I was standing still trying to make out if it was a plane or one of these UFOs I have seen in the past. It was not high up at all – maybe about 150 feet.”
Then the witness saw a “circle ball of light” move across the road next to the building he lives in and decided to follow it.
“During the whole experience there was no sound emitted. So I was walking to try and get underneath it while it was still stationary. As I was walking, I got on the phone to my girlfriend and I got under some trees and could faintly see it.”
he witness moved out from under the tree and noticed more of the objects.

“I looked up and I see approximately five of the same balls of light in a complete small circle. I stood and looked up in shock and after about three seconds, they literally just vanished from the sky as if they had a switch to turn the lights off.”
The witness stayed in the area another 10 minutes, but did not see the objects again.
London is the capital and most populous city of England and the United Kingdom, population 8,416,535.
Please remember that most UFO sighting can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
JBG Quantum Skynet Over Nola YouTube channel captured a huge cloaked pyramid-shaped object in the skies over New Orleans, Louisiana on March 15, 2015.
There is always much discussion as to whether these objects are holograms, extraterrestrial craft or objects associated with military black budget projects.
The strange phenomenon above the sun appeared on March 15, five days before the solar eclipse on March 20.
Alien activity in the western central English county of West Midlands is apparently keeping police officers there pretty busy.
According to the West Midlands Police Department’s website, “As part of its pledge to be as open and transparent as possible, West Midlands Police publishes all FOI requests onto its website as a matter of course.” It continues, “And while the act enables important statistics and information to be published, it has also highlighted some of the force’s more unusual call outs.”
(Credit: West Midlands Police)
One FOI request asks, “Please, under the freedom of information act can you tell me how many alien abductions have been reported in the West Midlands over past three years, breaking it down for each area? Can you also give details on each case and how the report was resolved?”
The department says it has received twenty-three alien-related reports during the past four years. How these numbers compare to police departments in other parts of the world is unknown. But it seems like a lot, considering that these aren’t simple calls about strange lights in the sky.
Two calls were from people who were either being attacked by aliens, or were reporting an alien home invasion.
Three of the calls were from people seeking police assistance because extraterrestrials were allegedly in the process of abducting them, or coming to abduct them.
Four calls were from people who reported that they were either talking to aliens or hearing aliens talking to them.
The remaining fourteen calls were from people reporting that they had seen extraterrestrials in West Midlands.

The police department points out, “Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from a number of data sources used by forces for police purposes. The detail collected to respond specifically to your request is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when interpreting those data.”
The twenty-three reports provided by the West Midlands police resulted from its own system search using the terms “alien” and “alien abduction.” So it’s conceivable that the department has received more than twenty-three extraterrestrial-related reports, which might contain other terms like “extraterrestrial” and/or “E.T.”
(N.Morgan) The Heavens have been bustling with activity in the last several months and here we are seeing possible fleet of UFOs/Orbs cruising the skies over Antioquia, Columbia.
At first glance,these UFOs appear to be balloons, but upon closer inspection one has to question if we are seeing something else..
Some researchers say that non-human entities “feed” off mental energy that we produce humans in altered states of consciousness, for example, meditations, excitement, extreme emotion, fasting, etc. Such energy is called “Psi”. It is a possible explanation for the appearance of UFOs in mass concentrations. Moreover, the photos of random UFOs may be because the object passed so fast that was imperceptible to the eye, or perhaps because vibrate in another range of light that our eye does not capture, as the infrared spectrum, for example.
The meteor could be seen in countries such as France, Germany and Switzerland on Sunday night
The meteor was spotted by thousands of people across Europe, with some eyewitnesses saying they saw a “flash, like a lightning bolt” which sounded “like thunder”.
A spectacular meteor whizzed across the skies of Europe on Sunday evening and was seen by people in Scotland, Germany, Switzerland and Austria, according to media reports in each country.
The American Meteor Society says reports came in of sightings by people in France, Italy, Luxembourg and Belgium as well.
There are some supposed UFO crashes that made it big in the news and are talked about many decades later, but few know about the 1950 supposed crash in the Mojave Desert in California. It wasn't the only incident. That year found tons of reports of UFOs in California. What was up with that?
If you ascribe to the concept of USOs (that UFOs come from underwater locations where they hide), then California is a prime spot to sight them and perhaps something in 1950s had the USOs coming and going more than usual.
The Mojave supposed crash was described as this -
Source: Reported in an FBI memo from the New Orleans Branch Director, “March 31, 1950… a disk found in the Mojave Desert in January 1950…Note: An alleged photograph of an alien body being kept in cold storage at Wright Patterson shows what appears to be a small HUMAN like being with human-like eyes and oriental features. Although it was about the size of the short grays, this particular being is apparently not sauroid-reptilian in nature. Is it possible that the eight- teen “human-like” occupants described in this quote are of the same race?”
Source:“On this land a flying disk has been found intact, with eighteen three-foot tall HUMAN-LIKE occupants, all dead in it but not burned.”
– FBI memo from New Orleans Branch to Director, FBI, March 31, 1950 about a disk found in the Mojave desert in January, 1950
This was not the only time California in the 50s had strange UFO happenings.
A United Airlines pilot on June 27, 1950 reported seeing a UFO.
Source: First Officer David Stewart of Redondo Beach, Calif., today told a news conference that his crew of five and some 25 passengers watched a brilliantly-glowing object speed through the desert sky Saturday night. Stewart said the object was more cigar-shaped than the previously reported pancake-shaped “saucers.” He said his ship was flying at 14,000 feet and that the object flew a parallel course for 20 miles and then faded into the distance.
Latest report of a mysterious flying “object” was given here yesterday by two United Air Lines pilots who described what they sighted at 8:08 p.m. (PST) last Saturday [June 24] while flying between Las Vegas and the Silver Lake check point eight miles north of Baker. The object was somewhat cylindrical in shape, rather like a dirigible, according to Cpt. E. L. Remlin. First Officer David Stewart and Capt. Sam B. Wiper, an observer aboard the UAL Mainliner.
It had a bluish center with a bright orange tint and was flying horizontally at about 20,000 feet, much faster than the transport, the three pilots said.
They added it appeared to be about 20 miles distant, but admitted that altitude, distance, and speed could not be accurately judged without knowledge of the object's size.
Also Seen by Others
The fliers said the strange “ship–if ship it was–was also seen by Las Vegas CAA men andreported by an Air and a Navy plane in the general area.
“Was it a saucer?” Capt. Remlin was asked.
“I wouldn't know,” he grinned. “I've never seen a saucer.”
Another incident was reported at Lake Isabella in California.
Me at Lake Isabella (1985) The site of a 1957 incident (photo below
In 1957, a couple were out in the desert area near where Lake Isabella is now, and at the time in a dry lake bed region when they were taking photos. This (below) was not seeing while taking the shot, but on the color slides that came back from the lab, there it was!
Now, how about a fellow he had gigantic claims in the 1950s? George Adamski, a Polish-born man who settled in Southern California produced many stories of encounters with UFOs since 1949 and into the 1950s.
The photo above is one Adamski claimed he took of a UFO in 1952. This was called a fake and the “landing gear” called “light bulbs.” He reported having encounters with many aliens that happened to stop his way, drop down, and have a little chat, including one from Venus.
“At no time, when the astronauts were in space were they alone: there was a constant surveillance by UFOs.” – Astronaut Scott Carpenter.
Film taken by astronauts clearly show UFOs, IFOs, Alien Vehicles, etc. The NSA screens all photos before release to the public. Everything that NASA has launched has been closely monitored by at least one ‘alien’ culture.
Perhaps one day, a living astronaut, a once-and-future hero, will come forward and frankly say what he saw and experienced. “One of these guys – sooner or later – has to go public.
In the video below at the 3.30 mark Astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti, who is Italy’s first woman in space, can be heard shouting out in shock at something she saw during the docking of the Soyuz spacecraft. The second video is the original footage released by the European Space Agency.
De beoogde presidentskandidaat voor de Democraten, Hillary Clinton, heeft een storm van kritiek over zich heen gehad in verband met het gebruik van haar privé emailaccount.
In alle haast heeft zij tienduizenden privé e-mails vernietigd, waaronder waarschijnlijk belangrijke met geheime UFO-informatie.
De Republikeinen ruiken uiteraard bloed en beschuldigen haar van het bewust gebruiken van haar privé e-mail om zaken verborgen te houden, zoals destijds met de aanval op het Amerikaanse consulaat in Benghazi.
Er wordt nu gretig gespeculeerd over de inhoud van 31.380 “persoonlijke e-mails” die Hillary naar eigen zeggen heeft vernietigd omdat ze geen inhoud zouden bevatten die betrekking heeft op het Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken.
Wat niemand haar echter vraagt is of ze misschien wél gingen over geheime UFO-dossiers.
Tijdens het presidentschap van haar man Bill Clinton probeerde Hillary namelijk uit alle macht om toegang tot deze bestanden te krijgen.
Daarvoor gaan we terug naar het jaar 1995 waarin Hillary een informele briefing kreeg van miljardair en filantroop Laurance Rockefeller.
Rockefeller was iemand die zich fanatiek bezighield met onderzoek naar UFO’s en van plan was om de informatie die hij kon vergaren naar buiten te brengen. Hij zag in Hillary Clinton de ideale personificatie van degene die hem daarbij een handje zou kunnen helpen.
In een memo van 4 augustus 1995 van de presidentiële wetenschapsadviseur Dr. Jack Gibbons wordt bevestigd dat het echtpaar Clinton vakantie zal houden bij en met Rockefeller op zijn Teton Ranch in de staat Wyoming en dat die tijd gebruikt zal worden om over UFO’s te praten.
Uit later vrijgegeven documenten blijkt dat Hillary in die tijd een absolute sleutelrol speelde voor wat betreft UFO’s in relatie tot de toenmalige regering. Volgens Grant Cameron, een Canadese UFO-onderzoeker die verantwoordelijk is voor de aanvraag en vrijgave van veel UFO-dossiers via de Amerikaanse WOB procedure uit de tijd dat Clinton president was, was Hillary dé persoon als het op UFO’s aan kwam. Zo schreef hij onder andere: “Keer op keer sprak ze over UFO’s, UFO-waarnemingen en het concept van een buitenaardse invasie in haar toespraken en verklaringen voor de pers”.
De werkelijkheid schijnt echter te zijn dat de regering van Bill Clinton geen toegang kreeg tot de geheime UFO en buitenaardse dossiers. Net zo min als de regering van George Bush dat kreeg of die van Obama.
Er zijn overheidsinstanties, ook wel de geheime schaduwregering genoemd, die wel alle informatie hebben, maar dit volledig afschermen voor zittende presidenten en hun regeringsteam. Die volledig uit het zicht opereert, waar ook de geheime ruimtevloot thuishoort en ook het fenomeen “men in black”.
De grote vraag is of Hillary toch op één of andere manier toegang heeft weten te krijgen tot geheime UFO-informatie en of dat onderdeel uitmaakt van al die tienduizenden vernietigde e-mails.
E-mails waarvan zij niet kon riskeren dat ze openbaar zouden worden omdat ze als ze een gooi naar het presidentschap wil doen, het niet moet wagen om zich de woede van de schaduwregering op de hals te halen.
Vreemde figuren vallen op in Mars-landschap ( Video)
Vreemde figuren vallen op in Mars-landschap ( Video)
Wanneer je naar een typisch stukje Mars-landschap kijkt dan valt het op als daar ineens een paar vreemde figuren in voor komen.
Iets wat overduidelijk niet in het landschap thuishoort en geen natuurlijke objecten zijn.
Dat is wat te zien op de volgende NASA foto, gevonden door de inmiddels welbekende Streetcap1, waar een aantal figuren voorkomen op een foto die duidelijk niet natuurlijk zijn.
Wanneer je de volledige foto bekijkt dan steken die twee figuren aan de horizon wel erg vreemd af.
Het zijn geen objecten die daar natuurlijk thuishoren. Volgens kenners is de afstand tot de objecten ongeveer twee kilometer waardoor de hoogte van de figuren/objecten ongeveer drie tot vijf meter zal zijn.
Er zijn genoeg berichten over buitenaardsen van ongeveer die lengte dus dat zou een mogelijkheid zijn. Een andere is misschien een standbeeld of iets dergelijks.
De grote vraag is natuurlijk hoe NASA deze figuren zou verklaren. Ongetwijfeld zullen ze komen met een vuiltje op de lens of iets dergelijks.
Het aantal voorwerpen, figuren en gebouwen die de afgelopen jaren door speurders op de NASA foto’s zijn gevonden, zijn echter zo talrijk dat NASA onmogelijk voor allen een “logische” verklaring kan bedenken.
Wat dan nog maar eens aantoont dat het wemelt van leven op Mars.
Sneak peak of a Bob Lazar Q&A at the 2015 International UFO Congress. Bab Lazar’s claims regarding back engineered alien technology he allegedly worked on at Area 51 made the U.S. Air Force’s most secret base a household name. Lazar’s claims were made popular when he took part in an anonymous interview with KLAS investigative reporter George Knapp in 1989. This and subsequent interviews became very popular and have made Area 51 synonymous with aliens and UFOs.
Massive Database Could Teach Humanity How To Travel In Distant Planets
Massive Database Could Teach Humanity How To Travel In Distant Planets
Numbers of UFO sighting reports have been increasing conspiracy forums online, from flashing lights above Georgia to triangular craft above Texas.
Now UFO and alien hunters are creating a global database, hoping to provide people a simple way to report encounters with otherworldly beings.
The say that one of their primary objectives is to observe the type of technology used by these so-called advanced aliens with hopes to use it somebody to move mankind from Earth.
Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) created the tool to provide people easy access to evidence of space alien intruders.
Executive director of the California-based site, Jan Harzan, claims that the database could help scientists understand extra-terrestrial technology. Harzan says that based on thousands of observations they have made, advanced aliens are not using jet engines, propellers, rocket motors or large fuel tanks.
MUFON claims that it receives around 500 to 1,000 UFO sighting reports in a month from credible sources, such as military personnel, airline pilots, and former intelligence officers.
MUFON has almost 70,000 alleged UFO cases in its database, and it plans to expand the number by including all new cases, as well as those gathered before 2006.
The database will soon include information on the location of sightings, date, flight characteristics, colour, shape, and size.
News of the database comes just a few days after 12,000 encounters with UFOs from Project Blue Book files were made available online to the public. Project Blue Book files were previously available only by paying a visit to the National Archives in Washington.
This meteorite was captured on dashcam by Nine News cameraman, Gerard Price. The vision was shot at the junction of Charles Street and Scarborough beach road in North Perth last week.
Professor Phil Bland from Curtin University’s Department of Applied Geology said it was likely a “pretty big chunk of meteorite came down through the atmosphere, a little one you just don’t notice.”
“They hit the top of our atmosphere about 20km/second, so really fast, and I say big because for it to be this bright in the daylight to attract people’s attention like that, is must have been big.
Prof. Bland said it was rare for such a big chunk of rock to come to Earth. “They happen randomly throughout the year, they don’t match up with meteor showers or the tail of comet or something like that,” he said.
He said it was possible it has come to land because it appeared to be a big enough fireball for rock to not burn away.
However Prof. Bland said it would be difficult to track. “The light from a fireball, even a really big one, doesn’t get down lower than maybe 15km above the Earth and the fireball can often be separate from seeing the rock and it can land up to two minutes after the fireball’s gone out.
If you read the book “The Mothman Prophecies: A True Story” by John Keel or the movie “The Mothman Prophecies” with Richard Gere, you probably think you know about the Mothman, but the story has become nearly 75% urban legend and 25% original story. Let's try and sort the story out that began in 1966. Starting in 1966 in the small riverside town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia in the northern part of the state, a series of witness accounts of an unusual cryptid began to unsettle a quiet and beautiful community. The first reported sighting of the creature (described as man-sized with wings, and red eyes), was in 1966 when five men digging a grave saw it fly overhead. Just a few days later, two couples riding in a car at night stated a large white flying creature with glowing red eyes chased their car and had a 10-foot wingspan. They reported it flew off toward the old WWII munitions area, referred to by locals as the TNT Area. The following few days, more people reported seeing it including some firemen. It was explained away as a large heron bird. One local claimed he shined a light on it and it's huge red eyes glowed. Later, he said that other occurrences around his place were blamed on the creature including his missing dog.
The Sandhill Crane was the explanation (above). Understandably, at night it might appear white, the wingspan is impressive and might be estimated at 10 feet, and the eye area is red.
Barn owls have also been used as an explanation that could fit. I'm not sure how anyone could misinterpret a barn owl as a man with wings, but at least they are making attempts to find a real world explanation. People in later years have been quick to dismiss the entire incident because of later reports that came out by supposed witnesses long after the original incidents. They were brushed aside as hoaxes, misinterpretations, and blarney. One year later, in 1967, the Silver Bridge in Point Pleasant collapsed. Forty-six people died. In a mid 1970s book written by John Keel, the story of the Mothman takes a turn toward the concept of a harbinger of the coming disaster. The Mothman showed up in the town before the disaster and encounters increased, supposedly including the passage of information of a prophetic nature. This is very similar to the legend of the Bunnyman in Virginia. It began with a story of a man in a bunny suit killing people on lover's lane, morphed into an escaped mental patient hanging children from a bridge and eating rabbits in the woods as he lived in a feral manner. Over time, legends take on new interpretations and tellings. I have received reports from some people in West Virginia, in another area, that they had run into something that fits the description of the Mothman. There are still sightings reported today all over the world before incidents of significant occur, making even more believers in the concept Keel made popular in his book, that the Mothman was a prophet or harbinger. Here are just some sightings reported - Colorado Huntington, West Virginia
Supposed sighting during Japan Tsunami
There are Native legends that tell of odd creatures including the Piasa Bird of Illinois.
Sometimes, Native legends tell us of things they have encountered. The Cherokee of that region have many amazing legends including the Thunderbird.
Source: The legend of the “Tlanuwa,” or the “Great Mythic Hawk,” is a Cherokee variation of the Thunderbird and Piasa Bird myths found in other Native American cultures. Tlanuwa were a pair of immense raptors said to live in the caves of a high cliff just below the mouth of Citco Creek on the north bank of the Little Tennessee River in Blount County. According to legend, they flew up and down the river in search of prey, even coming into villages and carrying off dogs and small children. In one famous incident, Daniel Boone claimed to have seen a giant raptor on the Tennessee River near where the Cherokee claimed the Tlanuwa made its home.
The Thunderbird is one of the most dominant icons in Native American art. Descriptions of them have been faithfully recorded for centuries in totems, carvings, pottery, cave art, and in the ancient stories of Native Americans. The running bird-man themes run through many Native legends and makes one wonder if they had encountered such beings and how they might have interpreted these interactions. Julie Ferguson and I took a trek to Point Pleasant in 2013, curious about the location and as a psychic, a bit curious to feel it.
I expected to find some tourist shops and a statue, but not much more. Neither of us expected that, as we drove over the bridge, at the same exact moment, both our cameras died. The town was utterly charming. In fact, we got distracted driving up and down streets imagining which home we would want to live in. It is an isolated little slice of heaven. We got into the touristy main street and the statue to do the usual posing -
When talking with a shop owner, we got a better sense of the continuing excitement about the Mothman. He gave us a map to the TNT bunker area and we trekked out there, but as we started to hike in, the police found us.
It was probably just as well, parked along a very isolated roadway, we stood out like a sore thumb. What we did experience, however, was something we didn't expect. We stood around taking pictures of the pond and enjoying the woods, but they were utterly silent. Not even a cricket or bird. We looked at each other with big eyes as a shadow flew over us, blotting out the ground as it moved. It was silent, but it was like a plane blocking out the sun. I looked up, but nothing. My sense of being watched from a tree top was an odd perspective. I was not expecting to feel such intense feelings, but the land feels very ancient. I am not surprised it is unsettled. Although we left without inspecting the bunkers, we did both feel that the place had some interesting elements that seem to make for odd happenings. Was the Mothman still there if he had ever existed? Doubtful at this point. But, we never regretted seeing the town of Point Pleasant. The people were pleasant and the town was charming. *Tomorrow's post is 1950: Critical UFO Year for California? MORE INFO: Avian Humanoids in Native Cultures

An inexplicable white-and-blue flash was spotted lighting up the sky over the southern Russian city of Stavropol. A dashcam video has since triggered a heated debate over the origins of the mysterious sight.
Stavropol’s horizon offered a jaw-dropping view to those who weren’t asleep at around 00:39 local time (21.39 GMT on Monday). The soundless flash of light scared several people, as it made some streetlights in the city go out, while being accompanied by the flickering of lights inside apartments and houses.
Local residents have come up with various theories to interpret the incident – military exercises that are currently taking place not far from the scene, faults in the electricity net, Northern Lights, an asteroid and even UFOs.
“I was very frightened by what I saw, I was already in bed. It looked as if something very bright lit up my ceiling,” a woman shared her experience on social media, Russian daily Argumenty i Fakty reported.
According to the Hydrometeorological Center of the city, the phenomenon “can’t be attributed to nature”– rather, it could be anthropogenic. The source of the light is thought to have been located somewhere on the ground.
However power engineers have rejected a version suggesting a fault in the power supply line leaving the public clueless about the nature of the mysterious flash.
