Switzerland: UFO On Camera Enters Swirling Portal Over LHC

Many has feared that the secret Large Hadron Collider may someday create a black hole accidentally that would swallow the Earth or give access to another dimension wherein aliens, or evil entity would emerge.

Now, something unusual has happened at the major scientific installation. A YouTube video shows swirling holes above the CERN’s massive scientific experiment.

The video’s authenticity convinces not all viewers, and many are more impressed with the CGI computer skills that resulted in producing excellent video.

The footage shows a swirling whirlpool of clouds in the sky before a UFO appears to fly into the centre of it. YouTube channel Section 51 2 posted the clip with a title “UFO entering Interdimensional Portal over Geneva SWITZERLAND.” It claims that two US tourists filmed it last month. While some viewers are convinced it is real, several others believe special effects or CGI are used.

The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) operates the LCH, a big network of intricate tunnels under the ground of the French border. CERN gets physicists to discover how everything in the universe started. Those physicists collide atoms together at high speed in hopes to see the smallest possible version and answer their question.

The same YouTube channel posted a video titled “New Huge phenomenon observed over Geneva – Cern area September 28.” The earlier video showed swirling clouds and an explosive lightning display.

Many people commented that it was just a powerful thunderstorm that had been manipulated digitally.

VIDEO: Astro-photographers film ‘super-fast’ UFO hurtling over Darwin

A LIGHT caught hurtling through the night sky on a dash-camera just south of Darwin has baffled a husband and wife who are quite familiar with the starry skies.

Astro-photographers Paul and Sylvia Mayo were left mystified after they captured the strange phenomenon on the dash camera when they pulled out of a petrol station near Berrimah.

At the time they thought nothing about it but, when Mr Mayo was going back through his computer files, he stumbled across the bizarre light going at an astonishing speed parallel to the horizon through the night sky.

“We’re switched on people, we have long careers in IT,” Mr Mayo said

“But this video, I cannot explain it.

“I’m baffled, and I’m not usually baffled by anything.

"LOST TIME ABDUCTIONS"

 THE LOST LIFE OF A TORTURED MAN

By Chris Holly

<Edited by Robert D. Morningstar>

A paranormal researcher friend of mine contacted me about my past interviews with people who have encountered unexplained lost time abduction experiences  He told me he knew a man who suffered from a lifetime of strange lost time events and thought it may be good for him if  to him to talk with me so he would understand he was not alone in this strange unknown of lost time experiences. .

My friend told me the man had been enduring extreme events of high strangenesssince he was a small child.  He did not enjoy talking about them due to the reaction of most people including those who investigate or write about them.  Luckily, my friend was able to convince him to talk to me about what he was going through.

I met with Brian. He is a tall attractive man in his mid 40's. He is well-spoken and friendly.  He lives in a small town in the Pacific North West of the United States with his wife and 4 children. He does not often talk about the odd events that take place in his life, but after telling him about others I have written about (like him) he was willing to tell me part of what he has endured over the last 40 years.

*******

Brian's Ordeal 

Brian's ordeal began when he was a child about four years of age.  He was living with his family in a small sleepy New England town at the time.. He recalls waking up in the middle of the night screaming and frozen in this bed, unable to get up to run to his family for help.  He recalls the terror of this so strongly that it has stayed with him his entire life.

The events always occurred at night when his mother was working a night shift and he and his siblings were alone at home with his father.  He recalls that his father admitted he could hear his son screaming for help  on occasion yet when his father tried to move to help him, he found he was not able to move from where he was as he suffered a strange paralyzed sensation, and could not help Brian because he could not move.    His father would remain paralyzed during these encounters unable to move his arms or legs .

When he could finally rise, he would run into the room only to find Brian alone terrified and crying.  These encounters  remained a family mystery as they never did understand what was happening to them during those strange night time events. Brian would scream for help and his father would not be able to move his body, which would be frozen in a strange state.  The family felt the encounters only lasted for a few minutes, but they were never really sure about anything that took place during the strange events.

Brian's life continued on as a typical little boy on all other levels beyond the strange events at night. That is until he was in his 8th year.  He has a clear memory of an incident that happened to him when he was 8 years old.

He was alone in his room playing when a very tall (at least 7-foot tall) being entered his room. The strange creature was more of a shadow-like being as Brian cannot recall it having any clear features other than wearing a robe type garment.

The being had light behind and around it.  Brian will never forget the crippling fear that he felt as this being came towards him while he sat playing in his room.  He recalls the fear was so overpowering he was not able to yell or move.  He only remembers up to this point and has no memory at all of how the encounter ended.  The fear he felt during this encounter was so horrific that he can still feel it to this day.  He told me he thought his heart was going to pound out of his chest, he was so terrified at the being standing before him.  He does not recall anything else from that point on.

 

Brian lived his childhood and teens in constant fear of having one of these ongoing strange encounters.  He often experienced the feel of a rush of wind pass over him leaving the sound of being in a wind tunnel in his ears.   During this stage of his life, he would also suffer from a pounding vibration in the front of his head.  During these experiences he can recall being touched by hands on his wrists, and eyes.  He could recall the sensation of floating during these episodes, and of being trapped in a dimly lit environment.  He  would feel extreme fear after one of these events occurred, one which would last with him for a very long time.

*******

Life was not secure or happy for Brain as a child...

despite the strangeness of his childhood, Brian grew up and went about his life as"normally" as he could.  He joined the military, and went about the business of becoming and being a soldier.  His life seemed to remain on the road of normal as he went about the work of his military service.  He was discharged after his enlistment ended, and he returned to the ranks of civilian life.

After the military tour, he married and quickly had four children.  He had difficulty holding jobs and found he had to move his family often due to his need to constantly change jobs, which was becoming the ongoing way of Brian's family's life. 

He also found that he was having strange lost time events that were causing him terrible problems with his wife and employers.  Brian would go out to buy milk, or to do an errand for a boss andhe'd be gone for hours instead of the short time the task actually would ordinarily take to do.  He told me that he would start out going about the business of what ever it was he set out to do and end up waking up as if he had taken a nap in a strange place a few hours later with no recall at all how or why any of it happened.  He thought he was having extreme mental issues, which terrified him and had no answers for his odd disappearance.  These events did not take place often but did occur enough to cost him two jobs. 

Brian also was aware that, after these strange experiences, he would suffer a few weeks of illness with stomach issues that  also made it difficult for him to hold a long term job.  His stomach issues became more serious with each event until he ended up in the hospital dealing with them.  

His marriage was also suffering from the strangeness in his life.  He was barely able to support his family and was ill to the point, with odd health problems, that he was not able to be much of a father to his children either.   One ordeal really damaged his marriage when Brian went to do a fast errand to buy milk and bread before dinner for his family and did not return for two days.  He could not recall at all what had happened or where he had been.  All he knows is that he set out in his car for the market a few miles from his home, but woke up two days later to find he was sitting on the town Library steps.  He was just sitting there.  He came around confused and feeling sick as if he had the flu. 

At first, he had no idea where he was.  He was disoriented, ill and worst of all wearing clothes that were not his.   He had no idea where he had been or what had happened to him since he had left his house two days prior or how he ended up wearing someone else's clothes right down to the shoes!

Brian began to panic as he was afraid he was having a mental breakdown of some kind and went to a nearby hospital for help.

*******

At the Hospital ...

Brian told them what had occurred and they admitted him for observation.  They helped him with his flu-like symptoms. However, they found nothing else wrong with him and released him.  They told him his ordeal may have been due to stress.  Brian knew differently, but had no idea where to go for help .

Brian simply tried to pulled himself back, "into life," and hoped against hope that nothing like this lost time event would ever happen to him again.  

This event did however have distinct differences from the others in his past.  Forone thing, the "lost time" was obviously much longer, but this time Brian did have some residual memory of other beings around him. 

He had flashes of memory of a woman who was with him for part of the ordeal, as well as, creatures he could only describe as part human, and part something else, that he thought may have been examining him and the woman in a small room with silver walls that seemed to be made of light, unlike any walls he had ever seen before.  He also was able to locate his car about 6 miles outside of his small town parked behind an old warehouse.  The car had burn marks on its hood and trunk.  A pen and a cheap Bic lighter that was left on the dashboard had been melted into a pile onto the dashboard and the car had a nasty odor 

*******

Black and Blue Bruises - A Sign of Sexual Abuse?

Shortly after this event occurred, Brian was home with wife and kids when he decided to take a shower before going to bed.  His wife was in the bedroom when he entered after his shower to get ready for bed.  His wife took one look at him and started to yell at him in a rage . 

Brian had no idea what had set her off as she blew up at him and started to accuse him of cheating on her.  She pointed at his private parts and demanded to know how he became so black and blue and bruised? 

He looked in the mirror only to discover that he was, indeed, covered in bruises and realized he had been sore and uncomfortable in that area for a few days. He thought little of it until he viewed the extent of the black and blue contusions around his groin area.

Although his wife knew that he was the victim of something beyond his control she became frightened for her children, and for her own safety.  So, his wife packed up the children and moved across the country to live with her parents, leaving him broken, and with a feeling of total helplessness in his situation.

The above story, recounted by Brian, was the last contact that I had with this man, and that was about five years ago.  

Then, I was contacted by the man who introduced me to Brian.  He told me that Brian continued to suffer from stomach issues and he continued to have problems keeping jobs due to his occasional lost time events.  His friend also told me that Brian was able to recall more about the strange beings that were taking him and told my "paranormal friend" that he knew they were draining him, but could only remember what they looked like, and still, he had no recall of what fully took place during his abductions.  Brian was now able to recall a bright light hitting him just before the lost time events occurred, and he had a second car that was burned and smelled oddly after one of these events.

The hardest news to hear was that Brian never was able to return to his family.  Brian became extremely ill after one very harsh lost time event.  He was able to drive himself to an emergency room and sadly, I am told, that is where Brian died.

He was 49 years old.  

I know many of you reading this may say he was simply crazy, or a secret drug user, or have many other reasons to explain the utter strangeness of this man's life.However, I can only tell you what happened and what those who knew him think happened to him.  His family, friends and those who knew him, all claim that the lost time events and horror of Brian's life were true events and these events are the cause of his death.

*******

"Lost Time" - "Missing Time"

During my years of talking to those who have had similar abductions and "lost time" experiences, aka "Missing Time," I have learned that most of those "taken" have stories very much like Brian's experiences.  The people that I have interviewed talk about the aftermath of these events, including illness, debilities, as well as, spine and neck problems that worsen as the events continue throughout their lifetimes. 

I have to admit that in my findings, broken bodies, and frustrated hearts are an ongoing theme among those who are taken against their wills, harmed and returned to a society who views them as unstable, or liars, insane or attention seekers.  Going through such terrible ordeals, and to return, to not be able to find any help at all, does cause these people to become bitter and closed-off, and to become outcasts from society.

I wish I could be one of  those who report all wonderful things by way of abduction, but sadly I have found only hardship, and difficulty, for those taken, which adds another layer of abuse to be cast upon these people.  When it comes to the unknown in the area of abduction, we humans fall on our faces and only further abuse those enduring these events.  I feel sad about it all. 

I also know that Brian is not the only one who has had his life end badly due to the interference of those who are involved with these "lost time abduction" events.  I do know that after years of writing about it, I am sure that Brian was not the first, nor will be the last, to have his life end in this fashion.

I wish we as a society could stop being so ignorant and arrogant about things that we do not understand, and start wanting to know what really is going on "out there"before we allow any more to be sacrificed to the unknown. It is time for us to  understand, the real mystery is why we refuse to want to know,

"THE HISTORIC LAGUNA LAKE 'THEREMIN UFO' INCIDENT

 

The Historic “Laguna Lake ‘Theremin UFO’ Incident”

By Jeff Krause, MUFON Investigator

(Copyright 2015, Jeff Krause – All Rights Reserved)

<Edited by Robert D. Morningstar>

*******

On November 06, 2015, a local San Luis Obispo (SLO), California photographer was atLaguna Lake photographing birds, when he had an encounter with a UFO that he will never forget. The photographic evidence for this case is very compelling, however, what makes this a more significant case is not so much what he saw, but rather because of what he heard.

I first heard about this case when I was out walking my dogs, and ran into a neighbor of mine who I had met previously when we were both out in the neighborhood with our cameras takingpictures. Since he wishes to remain anonymous, for reasons that will be very clear as I go on, I will not use his name. Because I find made-up names to be confusing, I will just refer to him as “the witness”. Suffice it to say that we had previously struck up a friendship over photography, not UFOs, although we had touched upon the subject before, and he was aware of my status as State Director So CA for MUFON.

The witness is a retired Army Veteran, who served four years active duty back in the 1960s.  He learned about photography from the airmen who worked at Lajes Air Force Base in the Azores, back in 1961, and had his own darkroom for a while.  Today he prefers using the Nikon D800 and a Nikon D90. When asked to summarize his job in the Army this is what he had to say:

“I was asked to join the Army Security Agency because of my test scores.  The ASA units served with regular army units but we took our orders from DIRNSA, Director, National Security Agency not the Department of Defense.  My job was a Communications Center Specialist.  I was granted a Top Secret Crypto clearance to do the job.  I had access to Sensitive compartmented information that was contained under the UMBRA code word and access to information considered way above Top Secret, which I cant talk about.”

Hopefully this explains why he wishes to remain anonymous for now, and also establishes his credibility.

The witness also relies on hearing aids, and has some remarkable ones that are made bySiemens called Pure Binax. They use a Hearing Loop Induction technology that enables signals from compatible devices to be directly transmitted to the users hearing aids.  This comes in handy at places such as theatres, museums, and other places that use the compatible systems.  They also played a key role in the witness’ experience.

The witness explained all this to me as we continued walking my dogs, but then when he told me how it was relevant, I asked him to send me an email detailing exactly how the pictureswere taken.  Here is part of his email:

“I think that I heard the sound of an unidentified object and captured that same object with my Nikon D800 on 6 Nov 2015 at the dry lake bed of Laguna Lake.”

*******

“I am a Veteran and got brand new hearing aids on Oct 5th at the clinic here in SLO.  They include the feature to use inductive hearing at movie theaters etc. that have that system.  I was taking HDR images of the dry lakebed.  A group of 5 images, same f-stop, different shutter speeds to gather all the image data, then move camera 15 degrees and repeat until panorama is complete.  I took the photos with a Professional camera; a Nikon D800 mounted on a tripod at 4.5 frames per second.  I took the first group of 5, then rotated the camera 15 degrees and grabbed the remote to press the shutter and there was a very loud noise coming thru my hearing aids that went from one side to the other and was gone.  I was stunned, but being new to hearing aids I just got on with my pictures.  When I got home I downloaded the photos from the camera into the computer."

Then, using Photoshop Lightroom, I assembled the HDR image from the 7 groups of 5images.  Upon looking at the completed images, I noticed that a bird had been in the scene on the second group of 5.  And then I noticed that in addition to the multiple images of the bird there was the image of a Disk-shaped object, but I found only one.  I checked the RAW files produced by the camera, and the object is only on the 1st of the 5 images from the second set. ”

The UFO, a Cessna Sky Hawk, and a real hawk, all captured in the same photo have been enlarged and enhanced by photo analyst Robert Morningstar , as shown below and others that follow.

The photo shown above is the only photo out of the set showing the UFO object in it.

Also visible in photo are an airplane, and some birds, all (except the UFO) are visible in the other photos

.

Below is a copy of the picture that I adjusted the contrast on, and cropped to show only theobject. As you can see, the details are rather startling, and do not appear to be a “bug” or a“bird.”. It would appear to have two appendages coming from it, equidistant from each other, and a dome or bubble on the top and center.

*******

Here I have resized the captured object, and tweaked the exposure to bring out details of the object.

Further adjustments (shown below) brought out more details.

*******

Normally, when a witness says that they did not see anything at the time when the picture was taken, it turns out to be nothing more than birds, insects, or water drops on the lens, so it was quite surprising to find something so interesting in his photograph.

In the enlargement above and the “equalized” enhancement done by Robert Morningstar, shown below, one can more clearly see either an exhaust plume, emanating from the UFO or, perhaps, an appendage of some sort that is not easily distinguishable in the unequalized close-up.

However, I think it is much more important that the hearing aids that the witness was using were apparently able to  capture the sound produced by the UFO, either from an energy field surrounding the object, electromagnetic interference, or perhaps, it may have been produced by the UFO propulsion sytem, i.e., the UFO’s ElectroMagnetoGravitic (EMG) Drive itself.

The witness described the unusual sound to me as being very loud, and that it sounded like a Theremin, an electronic musical instrument, invented in Soviet Russia in 1920 by a young Russian physicist named Lev Sergeyevich Termen (known in the West as Léon Theremin).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theremin 

The eerie sound of a Theremin is familiar to us all from 1940s & 50s science fiction movies, such as “The Day the Earth Stood Still” and “The Man From Planent X.”

The witness also reported that he heard the sound of the UFO, picked up and amplified by the high tech hearing aids, traveling through his head from one side to the other, in less than a second.  

I find the testimony about the sound, coupled along with the picture and the analysis I’ve done of it, to be compelling evidence that the witness captured a unique, and  excellent photo of a genuine UFO, which has been dubbed “The Laguna Lake ‘Theremin UFO’ Incident“ by Robert Morningstar, Editor of UFO Digest.

Strange Ball Of Light Captivated The World When It Lit Up Over Australia

(Before It's News)

In the Australian city of Canberra, a strange ball of light recently appeared in the night sky. No one has come up with a concrete answer about what this thing is, but people are letting their imaginations run wild. Some suggest that this is a UFO, and others seem to think that it’s merely a ball of lightning. In any case, it certainly looks bizarre. Experts insist that it’s lightning, but if you’re not convinced, you’re not alone. Many people still believe that scientists are just trying to cover up the fact that it’s an alien aircraft. Who do you believe? Sound off in the comments below

Other videos about the BSA.

https://youtu.be/-c_WBw1wltg

May 2015 i meet the OX team in Stockholm, together with some other good friends related to the team.
I cannot state what is laying on the bottom of the sea, but i do know these guys and when they say it does not appear natural.... then I believe them. We had a long and interesting talk about the BSA (stuff for another good time).
These guys have no interest in lying or or in any way make up a story like this.
Believe me when I say that if they could choose... then they would rather be without all this.
No Matter if the BSA is a Rock, a man made construction, or a UFO.... Its a part of our history now.
The BSA and the whole story and journey for the truth has a special place in my heart until the day i die.

Bestaan vliegende schotels echt? Wetenschappers zoeken het uit!

Sinds het Roswellincident in 1947 worden overal ter wereld UFO’s gespot. In Nederland is er zelfs een UFO-meldpunt, waar gemiddeld 75 meldingen per maand binnenkomen over ongeïdentificeerde vliegende objecten. Hoog tijd dat er echt onderzoek naar wordt gedaan, vinden de wetenschappers van het UFODATA-team.

De ‘believers’ – zij die geloven dat ufo’s een buitenaards oorsprong hebben – worden door de sceptische mensen regelmatig voor gek verklaard. Maar is dat wel terecht? “De mensheid weet nog erg weinig over de ware aard van onverklaarde UFO-meldingen”, schrijven de onderzoekers op de site van UFODATA. “Alleen door serieus wetenschappelijk onderzoek kunnen we het mysterie oplossen.”

De wetenschappers willen onverklaarbare fenomenen in de lucht fotograferen en analyseren (bijv. met een magnetometer en stralingsmeters) om erachter te komen wat ze daadwerkelijk zijn. Hierdoor wordt een database opgebouwd, die gebruikt kan worden om onderzoek te doen naar UFO’s. Ook kunnen nieuwe meldingen gemakkelijk geclassificeerd worden.

Crowdfunding
UFODATA is een gecrowdfund project. Dit betekent dat je kunt doneren om bij te dragen aan het onderzoek naar UFO’s. Een traditioneel model – waarbij de overheid of universiteiten voor het onderzoek betalen – is niet mogelijk, omdat er een taboe rust op het onderwerp. De onderzoekers hebben minstens enkele tientallen duizenden euro’s nodig om een basisstation te maken met instrumenten, sensoren en camera’s. Vervolgens wordt het station ergens neergezet, waar het een jaar lang getest wordt. Op een later tijdstip moeten er meer stations komen, waardoor een wereldwijd netwerk opgezet kan worden.

Twee kampen
Een lid van het UFODATA-team is Leslie Kean, auteur van het boek “UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go on the Record.” Ze is geen ‘believer’, zegt ze tegen Inside Outer Space. “Ik ben een journalist en geen ufoloog en zie mijzelf als agnost als het gaat om de oorsprong van UFO’s.” Ze ergert zich aan de strijd tussen believers en sceptici. “Believers zijn ervan overtuigd dat UFO’s buitenaards ruimteschepen zijn, terwijl sceptici beweren dat UFO’s niet bestaan. Beide uitgangspunten zijn niet rationeel.”

Geloof jij in UFO’s?
Ben jij een believer of een scepticus? En zie je de noodzaak in van een onderzoek naar UFO-meldingen of is verspilde energie? Laat een reactie achter onder dit artikel!

UFO Sighting Video Over Hessdalen

Another UFO sighting video has made rounds online. It shows an apparent UFO over Hessdalen, a village in Norway that is famous for UFO sightings for the last few decades. People living in the area have put up live cams just to catch some UFO activities.

Many UFO enthusiasts have claimed that governments from around the globe know about the alien flying object in the area, but they don’t care.

According to the story, the place has an underground base and aliens are coming in and out as they want. Some suspect that the underground station has been there for tens of thousands of years. If this theory is right then thinking Earth as owned by humans may not be correct. Humans might be new on this planet while aliens might be here for eons.

Hessdalen is a very remote area in the country with decades of history of UFO sightings. The uploader of the video said he noticed slight flashing, so he started recording. He thought of fireworks since it was New Year and the flashing was too frequent for lightning. Then he realized the field typically has sheep, so he ruled out fireworks as they can scare the livestock and others.

Surprisingly, the orb speeds over the terrain very quickly, and it vanishes into the thin air toward flashing light on the top right of the frame.

Cylinder UFO Hovers Near Puerto Rico

A jet passenger spotted cylinder-shaped UFO at an altitude below the jet’s 37,000 feet while flying between Florida and Puerto Rico, according to Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) Case 56602.

The strange event happened at 11:15 a.m. on March 12, 2014, and it was reported to MUFON on May 25, 2014.  Ohio MUFON State Director Thomas Wertman investigated the case and closed it as unknown.

According to the report, the witness was in a passenger jet flying to Puerto Rico on Jet Blue Flight #1938. The plane departed at 10:15 a.m. in Orlando, FL, and was expected to arrive at 12:59 p.m. The UFO was spotted in the north of Mona Passage, approximately 45 minutes before landing.

The unnamed witness and his daughters noticed and observed the mysterious flying object. He revealed that other people in the jet also observed the anomaly as others even commenting about it. They saw the object hovered, which was very strange.

After their arrival, the reporting witness checked online to know if there were reports about visible stars or satellite at the same time of their UFO sighting. However, his research revealed nothing. The video shows round top and bottom of the object. It’s difficult to tell the size of the subject matter since there’s no solid background object to compare. The silver or metallic UFO seems to expand and contract.

MUFON Ohio Director Wertman said that the reporting witness used a Kodak C813 digital camera. It was taken on March 22, 2014, at 11:22 a.m. based on the camera’s date and time. The flight details were taken from the Flightaware website.

On Wertman’s investigation, the arrival of the aircraft wasn’t at 12.59 p.m., but at 12:37 p.m. The passenger plane would have been off the Turks Islands if the approximate time of the witness was correct. Wertman said that the estimate of 45 minutes by the witness appeared not right. The camera’s time of 11:22 p.m. put the jet near San Salvador, explained Wertman.

The witness can be seen in the video pointing at the object. Wertman stated that the object didn’t appear to be a reflection of the window. The UFO doesn’t move consistently with the camera movements. The witness also seems to point down at the object.

Based on the flight path, the aircraft was traveling at 37,000 feet, according to Wertman. Based on the video and report, the object appeared below the jet’s altitude. The UFO seems to be stationary and highly reflective.

The investigator said that the combination of the data from Flightaware and the video was inconclusive on identifying the unusual object.

Will 2016 Be the Year Elon Musk Reveals his Mars Colonial Transporter Plans?

There are several space stories we’re anticipating for 2016 but one story might appear — to some — to belong in the realm of science fiction: sometime in the coming year Elon Musk will likely reveal his plans for colonizing Mars.

Early in 2015, Musk hinted that he would be publicly disclosing his strategies for the Mars Colonial Transport system sometime in late 2015, but then later said the announcement would come in 2016.

“The Mars transport system will be a completely new architecture,” Musk said during a Reddit AMA in January 2015, replying to a question about the development of MCT. “[I] am hoping to present that towards the end of this year. Good thing we didn’t do it sooner, as we have learned a huge amount from Falcon and Dragon.”

Big Rockets

As far as any details, Musk only said that he wants to be able to send 100 colonists to Mars at a time, and the “goal is 100 metric tons of useful payload to the surface of Mars. This obviously requires a very big spaceship and booster system.”

He has supposedly dubbed the rocket the BFR (for Big F’n Rocket) and the spaceship similarly as BFS.

He has supposedly dubbed the rocket the BFR (for Big F’n Rocket) and the spaceship similarly as BFS.

And he wants it to be reusable, which Musk and SpaceX have said is the key to making human life multiplanetary. The recent successful return and vertical landing of the Falcon 9’s first stage makes that closer to reality than ever.

While SpaceX has no publicly shared concept illustrations as of yet, a few enthusiasts on the web have shared their visions of MCT, such as this discussion on Reddit , and the drawing below by engineer John Gardi, who recently proposed his ideas for the MCT on Reddit.

Most online discussions describe the MCT as an interplanetary ferry, with the spaceship built on the ground and launched into orbit in one piece and perhaps refueled in low Earth orbit. The transporter could be powered by Raptor engines, which are cryogenic methane-fueled rocket engines rumored to be under development by SpaceX.

The future line-up of Falcon rockets is compared to the famous NASA Saturn V. The first Falcon Heavy launch is planned for 2015. Raptor engines may replace and upgrade Heavy then lead to Falcon X, Falcon X Heavy and Falcon XX. The Falcon X 1st stage would have half the thrust of a Saturn V, Falcon X Heavy and XX would exceed a Saturn V’s thrust by nearly 50%. (Illustration Credit: SpaceX, 2010)

The Challenge of Landing Large Payloads on Mars

While the big rocket and spaceship may seem to be a big hurdle, an even larger challenge is how to land a payload of 100 metric tons with 100 colonists, as Musk proposes, on Mars surface.

As we’ve discussed previously, there is a “Supersonic Transition Problem” at Mars. Mars’ thin atmosphere does not provide an enough aerodynamics to land a large vehicle like we can on Earth, but it is thick enough that thrusters such as what was used by the Apollo landers can’t be used without encountering aerodynamic problems such as sheering and incredible stress on the vehicle.

“Unique to Mars, there is a velocity-altitude gap below Mach 5,” explained Rob Manning from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in our article from 2007.“The gap is between the delivery capability of large entry systems at Mars and the capability of super-and sub-sonic decelerator technologies to get below the speed of sound.”

With current landing technology, a large, heavy human-sized vehicle streaking through Mars’ thin, volatile atmosphere only has about 90 seconds to slow from Mach 5 to under Mach 1, change and re-orient itself from a being a spacecraft to a lander, deploy parachutes to slow down further, then use thrusters to translate to the landing site and gently touch down.

90 seconds is not enough time, and the airbags used for rovers like Spirit and Opportunity and even the Skycrane system used for the Curiosity rover can’t be scaled up enough to land the size of payloads needed for humans on Mars.

NASA has been addressing this problem to a small degree, and has tested out inflatable aeroshells that can provide enough aerodynamic drag to decelerate and deliver larger payloads. Called Hypersonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator (HIAD), this is the best hope on the horizon for landing large payloads on Mars.

The Inflatable Reentry Vehicle Experiment (IRVE-3) was tested successfully in 2012. It was made of high tech fabric and inflated to create the shape and structure similar to a mushroom. When inflated, the IRVE-3 is about 10-ft (3 meter) in diameter, and is composed of a seven giant braided Kevlar rings stacked and lashed together – then covered by a thermal blanket made up of layers of heat resistant materials. These kinds of aeroshells can also generate lift, which would allow for additional slowing of the vehicle.

“NASA is currently developing and flight testing HIADs — a new class of relatively lightweight deployable aeroshells that could safely deliver more than 22 tons to the surface of Mars,” said Steve Gaddis, GCD manager at NASA’s Langley Research Center in a press release from NASA in September 2015.

NASA is expecting that a crewed spacecraft landing on Mars would weigh between 15 and 30 tons, and the space agency is looking for ideas through its Big Idea Challenge for how to create aeroshells big enough to do the job.

With current technology, landing the 100 metric tons that Musk envisions might be out of reach. But if there’s someone who could figure it out and get it done, Elon Musk just might be that person.

‘Best piece of UFO evidence in years’ filmed by NASA as Tim Peake docked with ISS

THIS footage of the International Space Station apparently surrounded by Unidentifed Flying Objects (UFOs) this week as been branded “the best piece of evidence in years” for the existence of aliens.

By Jon Austin

The footage has caused a storm after being uploaded on a video by YouTube channel Mister Enigma entitled “UFOs seeen everywhere during Soyuz docking on NASA USTREAM.”

It shows a portion of the docking between the Russian Soyuz TMA-19M spacecraft and International Space Station (ISS) on December 15, when Tim Peake became the first British astronaut to board the space station.

In the video, the narrator, who speaks with a creepy robotic voice, says: “This video, which was taken by the ISS on Tuesday during the docking between the Souyez spacecraft and the ISS is the best piece of UFO evidence captured in years.

“Dozens of UFOs can be seen in the background – some zipping off in the distance, others gently floating by, and even one gigantic doughnut-shaped UFO that seems to inspect the event.

“Once the camera zooms out the sun seems to light them up.”

“Once the camera zooms out the sun seems to light them up.”

Several objects are seen passing the ISS in the clip including the doughnut (ringed)

The new footage has been likened to the “Tether UFO incident” of 1996, when a satellite which was tethered to a space shuttle broke off.

When it was later filmed by the astronauts on board, it appeared to be swarmed by hundreds of “UFOs” that appeared like organisms swimming in a sea.

The narrator continued: “How crazy is this?

“The footage is like the infamous UFO tether video that took place in the 90s, and it’s very strange that it aired live and did not get cut off like most ufo’s that are seen on the NASA screen.”

During the tether incident footage the objects are brushed off by the astronauts as being “some of the debris that follows us being caught by sunlight.

Others have said these weird anomalies in NASA space videos are ice particles or just lens flares.

Scientists Figured Out Where Aliens Might Be Hiding — And How We Could Talk to Them

At the edges of our galaxy, tens of thousands of light-years away, massive, dense clusters of stars glom together like a humongous interstellar house party. This is where, according to astrophysicists from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, we might find intelligent alien life.

The CFA's lead author, Rosanne DiStefano made this hypothesis at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society on Wednesday, and — believe it or not — her logic checks out.

Let's say finding intelligent life is a hypothetical one-in-a-million chance. By the center's estimation, there are 150 globular clusters in our Milky Way galaxy, each holding roughly a million stars per 100 million light years. Plus, they're old — like, 10 billion years old — and stable, meaning they didn't get nailed by cataclysmic, planet-destroying gamma-ray bursts..

It could be that these globular clusters are full of planets twice as old as our own, that had billions more years to develop. The Fermi paradox, a theory of why alien life hasn't found us yet, refers to these clusters as Planet X.

To date, according to the center, only one planet has been found in a globular cluster. This may be because, according to current theories, the globular clusters in our galaxy don't have the heavy elements to build stable planets.

But DiStefano and her colleague, Alak Ray from the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai, said it's premature to say there aren't planets in these clusters. Exoplanets, or planets that orbit a stars other than our own, have been found near stars that have just one-tenth of the heavy elements of our own sun.

In fact, if these globular clusters do have planets, they're probably extremely close together. That means those planets could communicate much easier with one another than with Earth. "We call it the 'globular cluster opportunity,'" DiStefano said on Wednesday. "Sending a broadcast between the stars wouldn't take any longer than a letter from the U.S. to Europe in the 18th century."

So there could be a chance that Earth is missing out on a huge game of galactic Telephone that's being played on the edge of the Milky Way, with intelligent societies working together to noticeably expand farther into the universe. But according to Robin Hanson, a research associate at Oxford University's Future of Humanity Institute, that would've happened by now.

"If there were life thousands of light years away, it could've been around for millions or billions of years," he told Mic. "If someone is alive out there, they would've long since developed as much as they can. If they didn't spread out [to Earth], it means they're stuck. And just being near other civilizations [in the globular cluster] doesn't make them any less stuck, no matter how much they developed economically and socially."

That doesn't mean we couldn't communicate. 

The issue is that communication is a two-way street. Two civilizations need to look for each other at the same time, know exactly where the other one is and know how to contact it.

"If everyone is looking in random directions, the chance of coordinating communication is small," Hanson told Mic. "You have to find another coordination structure."

-Hanson told Mic about a theory for sending a signal to an alien race, as long as that race has a particular human tendency. It involves really, really bright lights — in this case, a supernova.

.

A supernova is a rare event in which a star violently explodes at the end of its life, giving off a huge amount of light and energy. A civilization would need to turn that flash into what you might call a cataclysmic carrier pigeon.

"Right after you see a supernova, you piggyback off that and send a signal in the same direction," Hanson told Mic. "When you see that light, it will move past the cluster. So there will be that burst of light, and right behind it, the signal. You're going to be waiting a while, but when you see that, we can use it to figure out how to talk effectively."

But keep this in mind when you're thinking about potential planets on the edge of the galaxy. The Milky Way galaxy is roughly 100,000 light-years across. The nearest globular clusters, NGC 6397 and Messier 4, are about 7,200 light-years away. So if we try to send communications to any of the who-knows-how-many planets within them, it would take 7,200 years to receive.

So if you read Mic, aliens, please pick up some of our galactic slack and say hi — we promise we won't try to kill off your entire species.

Whether or not you believe in Earthly visitation by alien beings, it's undeniable that UFOs have, at the least, become an essential part of modern day folklore. And in a bevy of stories that have added on to that treasure trove of fantastic tales, there's one document that, according to Atlas Obscura, has become the most popular FBI file among UFO truthers. 

The document is just called "Guy Hottel," named after an agent in an FBI field office. It's publicly available on the FBI Vault website, among a handful of other UFO and related cases. In one page, it describes an incident relayed second or third hand of a three separate but related UFO crashes around 1950 in New Mexico, with three alien bodies described as having a "human shape" but only being three feet tall, clothed in a metallic fabric. "Each body was bandaged in a manner similar to the blackout suits used by speed fliers and test pilots," Hottel said. The craft itself was described as being 50 feet in diameter. 

The agency denies that it's related to Roswell, or that they even seriously investigated it. "Finally, the Hottel memo does not prove the existence of UFOs; it is simply a second- or third-hand claim that we never investigated," it says. "Some people believe the memo repeats a hoax that was circulating at that time, but the Bureau's files have no information to verify that theory."

• FBI

As Atlas Obscura points out, it's likely connected to a sort of space age snakeoil peddler namedSilas Newton, whose claims were usually to spurious mining operations along with a series of UFO crash claims. According to TopSecretWriters, Newton finally got caught in 1970 after just under 20 years of FBI investigations for selling land to out-of-state speculators, claiming it had precious ore. Of course, that land just happened to be some of the land he claimed UFOs crashed on. The memo could be related to Newton's Aztec UFO hoax, one that Newton and an accomplice duped journalist Frank Scully into believing.

Though Newton wasn't tied to the Roswell incident, it's interesting to note that Roswell itself hadfallen into obscurity from 1947 until 1978 when Stanton Friedman resurrected it. Most investigations into the matter, after the initial crash of the terrestrial experimental aircraft, took place at that time from second and third hand accounts. In fact, the reason for the crash at Roswell was declassified in the early 1970s, before Friedman's investigations into the matter.

The FBI rarely touched UFO cases at the time, with the Air Force handling most investigations under Project Bluebook. Bluebook dug up no conclusive proof of UFOs, though a few investigations proved vexxing. 

It's also interesting to note that from the 1920s to the 1950s, New Mexico was ground zero for rocketry research. Robert Goddard carried out much of his early research there, with Nazi rocket engineer turned NASA pioneer Wehrner Von Braun further developing rocketry technology for the nascent American space program at the White Sands Missile Range. In other words, there was a lot going on in the skies of New Mexico for quite some time, and some of it was definitely coming back down from high in the skies. 

So there you have it. The Hottel memo was either something so spurious that the FBI passed on investigating it (only relaying it to J. Edgar Hoover because of the director's paranoia on all things) or obvious evidence of a massive cover-up. But given the actors involved, it's safe to say it's the latter. That won't kill it off for sure, of course. Hillary Clinton allegedly wants to "get to the bottom" of UFO investigations if elected president. Of course, as with Area 51 and Goddard's work, it could all just be highly classified weapons testing. 

The biggest proof of alien life is unlikely to come from Freedom of Information Act releases of long declassified documents. Instead, it'll probably come from a NASA mission to Mars or Europa, or maybe, just maybe, the Breakthrough Listen Initiative that pumped unprecedented amounts of money into the scientific search for technologically advanced life. But who knows. An alien craft could just fall out of the sky. But it's not likely.

NASA verspreidt adembenemend panorama van duinen op Mars - HLN.be

Bron: NASA, National Geographic

© NASA.

Tijdens zijn weg naar de top van Mount Sharp heeft Marsrover Curiosity even de tijd genomen om een adembenemende panoramafoto te maken  van de Bagnold-duinen. De duinen bestaan uit een strook zwart zand op de noordwestelijke flank van de berg.

Het panorama is samengesteld uit meerdere foto's, die de Curiosity midden december nam. Volgens de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA zal de Marsrover minstens enkele weken in het gebied doorbrengen, om duidelijkheid te scheppen over de werking van winden op Mars.

Satellietbeelden hebben onthuld dat de duinen op Mars elk jaar een meter verschuiven. De wind doet het zand op de helling van Mount Sharp belanden, waar het zich opstapelt tot er steile duinen ontstaan. Daarna schuift het zand als een mini-lawine naar beneden. De duin die op deze foto te zien is, is ongeveer 5 meter hoog.

Very Strange UFO Sightings that could be real!

The 1965 Sighting In Kecksburg, Pennsylvania

You know you’ve made it in the world of mysterious alien encounters when people refer to your UFO sighting as a bona fide “incident.” Such is the case of the 1965 Kecksburg, Pennsylvania encounter, in which multiple people claimed to have witnessed something crashing into the woods near the town not far from Pittsburgh.

People who saw it claimed the object that fell from the sky was roughly the size of a Volkswagen Beetle, and say that almost immediately after it crashed to earth; the US army arrived and roped off the area. The official report is that it was a meteor crashing down into the woods, though obviously most of the folks who were present to see the object for themselves remained skeptical of this explanation.

To this day the case remains a mystery, a good evidence of a real UFO sighting.

The very strange 1964 sighting in Socorro, New Mexico

One of the most famous UFO sightings in modern United States history took place in the town of Socorro, New Mexico, back in 1964 with the chief witness being none other than a police officer named Lonnie Zamora. Zamora was in pursuit of a speeding car when he saw an object in the sky, shaped like an oval and bearing a bizarre red insignia on its side.

He claims to have seen this object rise from the ground and take off into the distance, and his story drew tremendous media and government attention, including leading to the CIA filing a report on the incident. Zamora came to be known as something of a kook, however, and retired from the police force shortly after the incident.

Case unsolved: The official police reports released 30 years after the event ask more questions than it solves!

The strange mystery of the 1991 sighting in Mexico City

In July of 1991, people living in Mexico City reportedly spotted something strange in the sky at a time when they were expecting to see nothing more or less than a solar eclipse.

However, they were met with something far more out of the ordinary, with numerous people saying they saw an unidentified flying object , with actual journalists reportedly having captured this bizarre flying object on video when trying to film the eclipse. Since this time, there have been numerous reports of UFO’s in the area, but none more peculiar than the UFO spotted that summer by multiple people looking from various positions in the huge city. A few months later, a similar UFO was spotted during an air show in the area, but no explanation has ever been offered.

The shocking sighting of 1991 in Ontario, Canada

In the town of West Carleton, Ontario, a woman named Diane Labenek claimed to have seen an unidentified flying object above a field near her home after hearing her dogs barking. Shortly after the ship took off and vanished, she claimed that a government helicopter appeared at the scene, quickly investigating before heading off in the same direction as the UFO, though there are of course no records of this. However, a few months later, a UFO researcher named Bob Oeschler received a package that included supposed military documents and a videotape featuring the same exact UFO that Labenek had supposedly seen.

All of this is unconfirmed, of course, but makes this one of the most peculiar unsolved UFO sightings in recent history. It is believed to have most likely been a hoax, but it’s still too difficult to determine just who could have perpetrated the hoax, or why.

The odd sighting of 1967 in Manitoba, Canada

Another of the most bizarre supposed UFO sightings in modern history took place at Falcon Lake in Manitoba, Canada, and involved a man named Stephen Michalak. Michalak was a prospector who claims to have encountered not one, but two UFO’s, and after investigating the objects, he was blasted with some sort of hot gas from an exhaust vent that left him with bizarre markings on his midsection and led to his being hospitalized. This remains one of the most bizarre cases of a UFO sighting on record simply because it’s one of the few in which the person who claims to have made contact with alien life suffered a very real, very strange injury.

He suffered from nausea, headaches, and the odd burn markings in a very distinct grid shape across his abdomen. He was probably just into something super kinky, but neither he nor we can come up with a reasonable explanation, so let’s stick with a close encounter for no

OVNIS VS UFOS

Some highly unusual groups of aerial lights appeared over Santiago, Chile, in December, and while the exact date of the incident isn't known, a video caught the objects moving around in very interesting patterns.

After looking at the two-part video, it's easy to wonder why only one person captured the event and from only one vantage point.

According to the Daily Mail, an unidentified woman videotaped the lights from her window while she and others are heard excitedly talking about what they're seeing in the sky.

The first two minutes show four long strips of hovering multiple lights (seen above). Then, one by one, the strips move slowly away from each other. As they do this, you can see smaller, flashing lights on each of them -- they look almost like aircraft on a landing trajectory to an airport.

Here's the complete video:

The second half of the video shows up to seven individual lights or orbs that enter the scene from right in a straight line and appear to come around in a long circle, heading back to the right and out of the picture. The following image is from that formation.

OVNIS VS UFOS

Online comments and explanations for these alleged UFOs included drones, planes, cars coming down a background hill, Chinese lanterns, window reflections and the ever-popular digital editing.

"I found that, for the first part of the video where you see the several sets of four lights traveling in a line, also has within it blinking strobes in typical aircraft strobe patterns. Perhaps it was part of a viral stunt over Santiago," said image and video analyst Marc Dantonio.

"My bet is that it's a light array hanging from ordinary aircraft or from drones. Confirmation of sightings from other locations could tell us if it's more likely aircraft or drone," Dantonio told HuffPost in an email. He's an expert in computer-generated imagery and has been commissioned to create special working models for such clients as the U.S. Joint Chiefs in Washington, Congress, the U.S. Navy and the Smithsonian Institution.

Dantonio noticed that the strip lights in the Chile video tended to sag under their own weight, "slanting slightly downward in the opposite direction of overall travel. I felt that, watching this, I was seeing a situation much like the aircraft that tow those big banners. In those cases, the banner sags and is lower than the altitude of the aircraft. All you need is wind resistance and forward motion."

The video expert also suggests that, where the lights appear to hover, they're more likely heading directly away from you or toward you -- always in some sort of forward motion.

And what about the second part of the video with the individual lights?

"As they make their curved path, you see the light brighten up a lot," Dantonio observes. "This will happen if someone attaches a light fixture to a drone or an aircraft and turns directly toward the camera and points more or less directly at it. So it could be an LED fixture with lights. I also see strobing lights on these, as well, which are common on drones."

"For now," he concludes, "it appears to be a human-made hoax."

Reporting on the UFO Sightings Daily website, Scott Waring takes all of this up a notch.

"This UFO event is not unknown to Santiago, but is actually a yearly thing, when fleets of UFOs leave the underground base in the mountains along Santiago. It is a yearly event for aliens."

So...what exactly does that mean? ETs pick this time of year to fly south for the winter? 

What do you think?

STANFORD PHYSICIST REMINDS US THAT WE HAVE PHYSICAL EVIDENCE OF UFOS

Please scroll down for video 1.1K Peter Sturrock is an emeritus professor of applied physics at Stanford University and one of the very few scientists who has publicly expressed a great deal of interest in UFOs and acted on that interest by twice surveying colleagues on the subject which resulted in some very surprising findings. He is also unambiguous on one particular category of UFO evidence which he happens to know a little bit about . . . . radar reports.

“Yes – radar is physical evidence,” Sturrock stated in an email exchange he was generous enough to grant me.

Professor Sturrock’s involvement with radar dates back to World War II. While studying mathematics at Cambridge University, he interrupted his studies to help in the war effort and joined the Telecommunications Research Establishment in 1942, now known as the Royal Radar Establishment, where he helped develop radar systems.

Skeptics commenting on the UFO phenomenon often claim that a major problem with UFOs is the only evidence are witness sightings, claim they are unreliable and cite a lack of physical evidence. While that is often the case, there are notable exceptions where physical evidence does exist in the form of radar reports and they corroborate the accounts of multiple credible witnesses. There have been a number of famous UFO cases that have involved radar reports and two of the most famous contemporary incidents are the JAL Alaska case from 1986 and the Stephenville, Texas sightings of 2008.

On November 17, 1986, a Japan Air Lines 747 cargo jet, piloted by Captain Kenju Terauchi, was flying westward near Mt. McKinley when he spotted a UFO. “Then there was a kind of reverse thrust, and the lights became dazzlingly bright. Our cockpit lit up. The thing was flying as if there was no such thing as gravity. It sped up, then stopped, then flew at our speed, in our direction, so that to us it looked like it was standing still. The next instant it changed course. There’s no way a jumbo could fly like that. If we tried, it’d break apart in mid-air. In other words, the flying object had overcome gravity,” Terauchi said.

Terauchi and his crew had the sighting but John Callahan, the FAA Division Chief of the Accidents and Investigations branch, had the data. The radar report covered more than a half hour. Callahan states in the following video interview, “As far as I’m concerned, I saw a UFO chase a Japanese 747 across the sky for over half an hour on radar.”

He goes on to say that members of President Reagan’s Scientific Study Team, the FBI and the CIA he met with about the incident expressed excitement at the data.

The Stephenville, Texas case of January 2008 featured dozens of residents of the Texas town and its’ surroundings sighting UFOs. Some reported aircraft the size of a football field and larger. Freedom Of Information Act requests were quickly sent to the FAA, National Weather Service and local Air Force bases by radar expert Glen Schulze and Robert Powell, MUFON Director of Research, seeking radar data for January 8.

In their summary, Schulze and Powell wrote, “The enormous size of the object, its’ complete silence and its’ ability to travel at high rates of speed and to also remain stationary or travel at slow speeds is not explained by any known aircraft. Based on approximate distance of the object and witness descriptions of degrees of sky covered by the object indicated an object closer to 1000 feet in size. Twice, radar picked up an unknown object flying at 1900-2100 mph.”

They discussed their findings in the CNN interview below and the full radar report is available at this link.

I also asked Professor Sturrock if he had a favorite UFO case and he replied, “The Coyne helicopter case.”

On October 18, 1973, the four-man crew of an Army Reserve helicopter heading towards Cleveland from Columbus had an otherworldly encounter with a UFO at about 10:30 PM as they were flying near Mansfield, Ohio.

“This craft, from the angle that we saw it, was cigar-shaped. It had no wings, no vertical or horizontal stabilizer, was approximately 60 feet long, 15-20 feet in height. We were at 1,700 feet, then this craft began to move slowly to the west away from us. At this time, I was worried we were going to hit the ground, and I looked at my altimeter and our helicopter was at 3,500 feet, climbing 1,000 feet a minute with no changes in the control. We went from 1,700 feet to 3,500 feet in a matter of seconds and never knew it!,” Lawrence Coyne, the commander of the helicopter recalled.

There were civilian witnesses on the ground as well.

“I had driven a few blocks from my house and was driving north on Paul Boulevard. I stopped the car once I saw how close the UFO was above the tree line over-looking Sunset Park. The chopper was beneath my view. Here in plain view was the UFO, green light on the front, white light and a red light on the rear on a nearly sixty-foot long dark metallic-grey object that had the appearance of a cigar shaped stogie. I sat in my car marveling at its appearance. It made no sound. Suddenly the UFO shot off towards the northwest and in literally seconds it was the size of a star in the distance. Even faster, the object disappeared from sight.” said Bill Carver, brother of Jim Carver, the author of the article linked above.

Not surprisingly, skeptic Phil Klass attempted to explain the case away but the credibility of the witnesses involved and the detail of their reports render his explanation implausible.

“Any theory of the object’s being a meteor (UFO skeptic Philip Klass maintains that the object was a “fireball of the Orionid meteor shower”) can readily be rejected on the basis of:

      (1) the duration of the event (an estimated 300 seconds);

    (2) the marked deceleration and hard-angle maneuver of the object at closest approach;

       (3) the precisely defined shape of the object; and

    (4) the horizon-to-horizon flight path. The possibility of a high-performance aircraft likewise is untenable when one examines the positions and colors of the lights with respect to the flight path of the object. To have presented the reported configurations, and been in accordance with FAA regulations, an aircraft would have had to be flying sideways, either standing on its tail, tail-to to the helicopter, or upside-down head-on.”

Below is a segment about the case from the 1990s TV show Sightings.

Finally, I asked the professor about his own research into UFOs. In 1973, Professor Sturrock distibuted two questionaires, one to members of the San Francisco chapter of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the other to members of the American Astronomical Society.

The AIAA survey results indicated that “a sample of scientifically trained persons reports aerial phenomena similar to so-called “UFO reports,” and the AAS survey revealed that “a small fraction (of order 5%) are likely to report varied and puzzling observations, not unlike so-called “UFO reports” made by the general public,” according to the professor.

He also noted that, “if you want to find out whether scientists see UFOs you must ask them, and you probably must guarantee them anonymity. Scientists have no doubt been discouraged from taking the problem seriously by the bizarre nature of some of the reports and emphasis upon the “extraterrestrial hypothesis” (ETH).

” Professor Sturrock’s full papers on his findings are available here and here.

Specifically, I asked Professor Sturrock about his opinion on expanding future queries to include social scientists like historians, sociologists and psychologists, professionals who I thought might also have some interest in and be able to contribute to the UFO field.

“I would encourage similar surveys of other professions. Then the results could be compared,” he replied.

Finally, I’d like to thank Professor Sturrock for taking the time to answer my questions and I would also like to thank my good friend, fellow UFO researcher and the pride of Surrey in the UK Peter Mandeville for providing the tip that led to this article.
