Idaho witness says rectangle UFO ‘fell from sky’
Idaho witness says rectangle UFO ‘fell from sky’
An Idaho witness at Post Falls reported watching a rectangle-shaped object “falling from the sky” shortly after hearing the sound of a sonic boom, according to testimony from Case 79772 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness first stepped outside after hearing a sonic boom on October 12, 2016.

The witness stepped outside after hearing a sonic boom about 11:45 a.m. on October 12, 2016.
“Looking south I observed what appeared to be some type of large rectangular object tumbling end over end emitting a large amount of smoke (white, gray and yellowish in color) trail as it fell,” the witness stated. “It was about four to five times the width of a typical airliner contrail and it was going straight down toward the ground.”
The witness also heard what may have been an engine trying to start.
“At one point during this approximately four-minute fall, it appeared some type of engine maybe briefly came on and emitted what looked like what could be a jet engine trying to start or work. But then it stopped and the trail became non-symmetrical again.”
The witness saw a rectangle-shaped object falling from the sky over Post Falls, ID.

The witness retrieved binoculars and tried to view it while falling.
“It intermittently reflected sunlight as it tumbled. The object appeared to be about the size of a very large military cargo plane or bigger, but more rectangular in shape. The object disappeared behind the mountains to the south of Post Falls and no doubt whatever it was hit the ground somewhere based on rate of fall and trajectory.”
The witness called local authorities.
“After the object disappeared I called Spokane FAA tower and they said thanks, but did not ask any questions or details.” There are no reports in Idaho during this time period of any aviation crashes.
Post Falls, ID, is about 25 miles east of Spokane, WA.

Post Falls is a city in Kootenai County, Idaho, population 27,547. Idaho MUFON Field Investigator James Millard investigated and closed this case as an Unknown.

Silver Surfer Like UFO Spotted In Sky Over Major City In Turkey, UFO Sighting News.
Silver Surfer Like UFO Spotted In Sky Over Major City In Turkey, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: Oct 2, 2016 Location of sighting: Turkey Original Video:
http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/TAtH3g7hp_s/?spm=a2h0k.8191414.0.0 These kids were riding in a car and suddenly saw a silver human like figure moving over the tree tops. They called it the Silver Surfer...a Marvel comic book first published in the 1968. I see the resemblance for sure, but I believe its a lightning bolt shaped alien drone...a probe to scan and then be retrieved by a larger ship later. For those who still don't know who the Silver Surfer is, I will include a video of an amazing costume from Halloween one guy had...video at bottom of post. Scott C. Waring-Taiwan Eyewitnesses state:
It was a shocking moment when a superhero silver surfer in a Marvel comic book appeared in the middle of a major city. The mysterious object was two car driving Ai Erkan? Alec and Halil? Kagera found that when it is traveling in the north-west of Turkey's fourth largest city Bursa over.
A hovering, disc-shaped UFO was reportedly photographed hovering near Kaneohe Bay in Waikane, Hawaii. The witness admitted that he did not notice any unusual while taking photos of the area. He only found out the strange object when he reviewed the images.
The witness noticed one photo that showed something not found in other pictures. He first thought of a wood chip on his lens but changed his mind after taking a closer look. The witness later realized he had spotted a UFO.
He is not an alien UFO believer, but the sighting creeped him out so much that he decided to report the case to Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).
The witness described the object as a yellow/orange disc. When he zoomed in his camera, he saw an apparent dome on the top of the UFO.
The report is filed as case 79999 in MUFON’s witness reporting database. Hawaii State Director David McManus of MUFON, David McManus, is investigating the case.
The investigation involves looking into camera lens anomalies and possible photo editing techniques. McManus would close the inquiry as unknown if the UFO in the picture can’t be explained, not something natural or human-made.

Known for his provocative interpretations of ancient ‘ and Akkadian clay tablets, Zecharia Sitchin (1920-2010) read the words of our most ancient ancestors as fact and, through decades of meticulous research, showed that these ancient tablets revealed a coherent narrative about the extraterrestrial inhabitants of Earth and the origins of modern humanity.
Photographer Freaks Out After Seeing A Glowing UFO Over Whitby
Photographer Freaks Out After Seeing A Glowing UFO Over Whitby
Photographer Andrew Beattie took a snap of what he calls a UFO over the Whitby coast, UK at around 7:30 on Monday night. He admits to being freaked out of seeing the unidentified flying object.
What do you think about the image in the photo?
Theories have ranged from the moon to meteor and from military flares to alien UFO trying to hide behind the clouds.
Yarm resident Andrew went to the beach with hopes to capture the aurora. He walked down to the sea wall close to the beach huts to see if he could get a glimpse of the aurora.
He prepared his tripod and camera in the direction of the sea.
Moments later, he was offered with a surprise as he saw a bizarre red glow over the lighthouse, around 150 feet above it. The strange light disappeared after a second. Andrew decided to point his camera to where he spotted the glowing red.
Then a yellow light appeared for a few seconds moving to the side without noise before glowing red and disappearing. Strangely enough, the clouds behind it glowed red too before it vanished.
The witness admits he freaked out a little because he has never seen anything like it.
UFO Disguises As Huge Green Fireball Over Japan, Conspiracy Theorists Claim
UFO Disguises As Huge Green Fireball Over Japan, Conspiracy Theorists Claim
A green fireball that was caught on video going down to Earth created speculations it was an alien UFO in disguise.
There’s no official confirmation yet on the mysterious object’s identity, but experts at the American Meteor Society said that the glowing green tcolor would indicate space rock with high levels of nickel.
However, conspiracy theorists have ridden the uncertainty claiming that the fireball recorded by two cameras over Niigata airport in Japan could be a UFO trying to mask itself. They said that the object disguised itself as a meteor, but made mistakes.
One mistake, they claimed, was that it glowed in green, which most meteors don’t burn as such.
Secondly, meteorites that low don’t fly horizontally, according o conspiracy theorists.
Lastly, they called it as the stupidest mistake; the main ship turned off its glow for only one-tenth of a second. At this point, a silver disk came out and moved back slowly from the main ship, according to the released theory.
They stressed that even aliens make mistakes and the pilot of the disguised UFO made a lot.
Others claimed that the supposed fireball, which was being observed 250 miles north of Japanese city Aomori, could be a piece of space junk or a falling satellite for that matter.
Curiosity Rover Finds Weird 'Egg Rock' Meteorite on Mars
Curiosity Rover Finds Weird 'Egg Rock' Meteorite on Mars
By Hanneke Weitering, Staff Writer-Producer
NASA's Mars rover Curiosity stumbled upon a dark grey, golf-ball-size object last week that looks nothing like the typical red-orange rocks that are normally seen on Mars.
To figure out exactly what this weird rock is and where it came from, Curiosity used its on-board rock-zapping laser to analyze the rock's chemical composition. This test revealed that it is an iron-nickel meteorite that fell from the Martian sky. Curiosity's science team dubbed the newfound meteorite "Egg Rock."
These types of meteorites have been discovered on both Earth and Mars in the past, but this is the first time that Curiosity's laser-firing spectrometer, the "ChemCam," has been used to study such a rock. [Here's What a Mars Meteorite on Earth Looks Like (Photos)]
NASA's Mars Science Lab, also known as the Curiosity rover, spotted this strange, dark object on the Martian surface. The rover's Mast Camera (Mastcam) took this photo of the golf ball-sized meteor on Oct. 30, 2016. Further inspection with Curiosity's Chemistry and Camera (ChemCam) instrument revealed that the rock is an iron-nickel meteorite.

ChemCam works by firing laser pulses at objects of interest. When an object is struck by the laser, the electrons around its atoms get excited and emit light of varying wavelengths, or colors, depending on the elements that are being zapped. By analyzing this emitted light, Curiosity can then determine precisely what an object is made of.
This strange rock is made up of iron, nickel, phosphorous and a few other trace elements, which led scientists to conclude that it is a meteorite that is non-native to the Red Planet. These types of meteorites come from the molten cores of asteroids.
This dark, lumpy, golf ball-size object is an iron-nickel meteorite. NASA's Curiosity rover discovered it on Mars on Oct. 30, 2016.
"Iron meteorites provide records of many different asteroids that broke up, with fragments of their cores ending up on Earth and on Mars," ChemCam team member Horton Newsom said in a statement.
Scientists working with Curiosity (the rover is the centerpiece of NASA's $2.5 billion Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission) first noticed Egg Rock on Oct. 30 in photos taken by the rover's Mast Camera, known as Mastcam.
"The dark, smooth and lustrous aspect of this target, and its sort of spherical shape attracted the attention of some MSL scientists when we received the Mastcam images at the new location," ChemCam team member Pierre-Yves Meslin said in the same statement.
Curiosity came across the meteorite in an area called the Murray formation in lower Mount Sharp. The rover will continue to explore this area as a part of its extended mission, which is focused on learning how Mars' environment changed over time, and whether the environment could have possibly harbored life in the past.

See the 1st Color Photos of Europe Mars Lander's Crash Site

The first color images of a European Mars lander's crash site are revealing new details about the spacecraft's unsuccessful touchdown attempt last month.
The lander, known as Schiaparelli, slammed hard into the Red Planet on Oct. 19, apparently after its descent-slowing thrusters failed to fire for long enough, officials with the European Space Agency (ESA) have said.
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) quickly spotted Schiaparelli's remains with its low-resolution camera, and then imaged the impact site in greater detail last week using its sharp-eyed High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera. And now, MRO has provided the first color views of the lander's grave, also courtesy of HiRISE. [In Photos: Europe's Schiaparelli Mars Landing Day]
The new photos, which were taken Tuesday (Nov. 1) and released today (Nov. 3), show several bright spots near the main crater where Schiaparelli hit. These features were also visible in previous MRO images, though, at the time, it wasn't clear whether they were just "noise." But it's now apparent that the spots are real objects — probably fragments of Schiaparelli, ESA officials said.
MRO's new views also reveal that a large structure believed to be Schiaparelli's parachute has changed configuration since last week's photos were taken, likely because of the Martian wind, ESA officials said. (The same effect was visible in MRO images of the parachute that helped NASA's Mars rover Curiosity land in August 2012, they noted.)
There are three distinct parts of the overall Schiaparelli crash site: the crater gouged out by the lander itself; the spot about 0.9 miles (1.4 kilometers) away where the parachute and its attached rear heat shield came down; and another feature that appears to be the spacecraft's front heat shield. MRO imaged these first two areas in color, but its new photos of the front heat shield are still in black and white.
These images taken by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on Nov. 1, 2016, show the wreckage of Europe’s Schiaparelli lander, which crashed on the Red Planet on Oct. 19, 2016. At top is the crater caused by the lander’s impact; at bottom left is the craft’s parachute and attached back heat shield. The feature at bottom right is thought to be the front heat shield. The 10-meter scale bar applies to all three portions of the image.

There should be more photos coming soon.
"Further [MRO] imaging is planned in about two weeks, and it will be interesting to see if any further changes are noticed," ESA officials wrote in a statement today. "The images may provide more pieces of the puzzle as to what happened to Schiaparelli as it approached the Martian surface."
An investigation into the events of Oct. 19 is ongoing, and could be wrapped up sometime this month, ESA officials have said.
Schiaparelli launched with another spacecraft, called the Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO), in March. Together, the two probes make up the first part of the two-phase ExoMars program, which ESA leads with help from its chief partner, the Russian federal space agency, known as Roscosmos.
The second part of ExoMars is a life-hunting rover, which is currently scheduled to launch in 2020 and land on the Red Planet in 2021. Schiaparelli's main goal was to prove out the technology needed to get this rover down safely; the data gathered during the descent on Oct. 19 should be useful for this future effort, ESA officials have said.
TGO aced its orbit-insertion burn on Oct. 19 and is currently looping around the Red Planet along a highly elliptical path every four Earth days, just as planned. The spacecraft will make its first science observations at Mars during two orbits that begin Nov. 20, ESA officials said.
Early next year, TGO will begin shifting to a circular orbit that lies 250 miles (400 km) above the Martian surface. The probe should reach this final orbit in March 2018, at which point it will begin its official two-year science mission. The chief goals of this mission involve hunting for methane and other gases that could be signs of Martian life.
TGO will also serve to relay communications from the ExoMars 2020 rover and other surface Red Planet craft back to controllers here on Earth before ending operations in 2022.

A camera flying aboardNASA's current mission to Jupiteris snapping stunning new images of the gas giant's stormy surface, and enabling members of the public to take an active role in this historic mission.
The Juno probe is flying closer to Jupiter than any spacecraft has done in history, coming to within about 3,100 miles (5,000 kilometers) of the giant's stormy cloud tops. Its primary science mission is to gather information about the planet's interior — peering through its thick cloud layers and all the way down to its rocky core.
The JunoCam instrument is an exception: It takes pictures of the surface of Jupiter's cloud tops. Its mission is primarily to serve as an outreach tool: The data that is sent back to Earth is made available to the public, and "citizen scientists" are welcome to process the images and try to learn from them. Looking ahead, members of the public will be able to vote on which features JunoCam should eye next. [Jupiter Shines in Scientific and Artistic Images by Citizen Scientists (Gallery)]
The creators of the JunoCam outreach program wanted to "involve the public in every aspect of what an imaging team would ordinarily be doing," according to Candy Hansen, a Juno co-investigator and head of the JunoCam team. Hansen discussed the project during a press briefing at the 2016 meeting of the American Astronomical Society Division for Planetary Sciences (AAS DPS) in Pasadena, California.
People who participate in JunoCam get to see what scientists go through during a mission — "the good days and the more challenging days, and to sort of live our lives with us," Hansen said. The goal is to allow the public to join the mission "in a participatory way, not a passive way."
Juno arrived at the Jupiter system in August, and its orbit is highly elongated, so that it comes very close to Jupiter (for only a matter of hours), and then swings far out into space. This path allows the probe to loop in between the planet's cloud tops and a ring of very intense radiation that wraps around Jupiter, which could easily destroy the electronics on board. Such a path also brings Juno closer to Jupiter than any probe in history. Juno is currently on a 53-day orbit, but it may still drop down to a 14-day orbit.
So far, JunoCam has only sent one batch of data back to Earth (since Juno has only made one close flyby with its instruments turned on). The JunoCam team posted "raw images" to the JunoCam website, and already public participants have used them to post dozens of processed images to the website. Some of the images have been processed to make it easier to see storms and physical features in Jupiter's clouds; others have been processed to create visually engaging works of art.
This detailed image is a collaboration between image processor Gerald Eichstädt and astronomer John Rogers.

Citizen scientists
On the JunoCam website, people can submit processed images, and then discuss their results and techniques in the discussion section. Or, if the participants aren't processing images, they can just ask questions of the people doing the processing.
JunoCam participant Matt Brealey told Space.com that he has been "attempting to use software from the Visual Effects industry" to process the images from JunoCam. (You can see examples of his work here and here, and you can read an article he wrote about his technique here).
"I've been fascinated by space imagery for as long as I can remember, so suddenly realizing that I could in some small way be a part of creating new images was extremely exciting," Brealey told Space.com via email. "That combined with the technical challenge of using tools from the VFX industry really [piqued] my interest in the project."
The skill level among the participants varies, according to Gerald Eichstädt, a software programmer who has been processing images from JunoCam with software he wrote especially for this project (which puts him at the upper end of the skill-level spectrum). He told Space.com that many people are using commercially available software, including some that's provided on the JunoCam website.
"JunoCam images provide challenges on almost any level; you can improve your skills according to your individual capabilities," he wrote. "To squeeze out as much as possible from the JunoCam images, you need more than (technical) skills; you also need to apply your skills, either by using existing software in an appropriate way, or by developing and applying appropriate software. But there are also many things you can do with consumer software. Good creative ideas are another important factor and may well be able to compensate [for] less technical skills."
Eichstädt said that he has been working with people who have skills that are different from his own (such as extensive knowledge about Jupiter's surface features), and he has been working with them to get more out of the images he makes. He said he has processed thousands of images and has posted most of them to his own website to avoid flooding the JunoCam website.
Participants can post their processed images to the mission website for others to see — Hansen said she definitely wants people to share the images, not just "post them to their private Facebook page." The goal of some of the processing is to analyze the different features that the instrument sees on the surface, while other images are processed with the aim of creating amazing aesthetic value. Some images accomplish both of those things.
"It's pretty cool that a lot of processed images are collected in one place and people can discuss them," Roman Tkachenko, a citizen scientist who is processing JunoCam images, told Space.com. Tkachenko's images focus on identifying swirling storms and other prominent features in the atmosphere. "Many amateur image processors face the problem of having no opportunity to show their work to the public, because their audience on social media is too small. This project partially solved that problem, at least regarding images taken by Juno spacecraft."
While the JunoCam instrument is not part of the probe's suite of science instruments, its first snapshots of Jupiter revealed never-before-seen features of the Jovian giant, including clusters of storms near the planet's north pole, and a cyclone stretching 52 miles (85 km) above the base surface level, according to Scott Bolton, Juno principal investigator. Bolton discussed the early results during the same press briefing at the 2016 AAS DPS meeting.
"I've not the funding to do a space mission myself, so I can save a lot of time and money by joining an existing mission funded mostly by the U.S. taxpayers," Eichstädt wrote. "Processing JunoCam images is very challenging for most people, and I knew that I would be able to do it; so it's to some degree an honor and a duty to give the U.S. taxpayers something back."
A leap of faith
Besides image processing and the discussion board, the JunoCam project has two other key features. First, the JunoCam team is asking amateur astronomers to post telescopic images of Jupiter and other data that is gathered from Earth. Those uploads are then used to help Juno team members plan what JunoCam will image during upcoming flybys of Jupiter. Some of the images that have been processed are using that data already: Some of the user-submitted image show how the features that are seen in the JunoCam image correlate with the features that are seen in images of Jupitertaken by previous space or ground-based instruments.
"That allows us to connect what we're seeing from our different perspective to the historical record of the dynamics of Jupiter's atmosphere," Hansen said.
The final task that the JunoCam project will pose to the public is voting on which features will be imaged during future flybys. JunoCam can't take pictures continuously while Juno is making its close flyby of Jupiter, so the organizers have to be selective. Hansen said there will be a "partial vote" for what JunoCam should focus on during its next close approach on Dec. 11. Full voting will take place for the following close approach, scheduled to take place on Feb. 2.
"We took a real leap of faith with this experiment with the public — that people would actually think this is cool and participate," Hanse said. "And I'm really so pleased with the response that we've gotten. I really feel like our leap of faith was justified."
Spain declassifies 1,900 pages of top-secret UFO files
Spain declassifies 1,900 pages of top-secret UFO files
Another step towards global UFO disclosure. The Spanish Ministry of Defense has declassified 80 reports of alleged UFO sightings that took place between 1962 and 1995.
The Spanish Ministry of Defense has declassified 80 confidential reports containing around 1,900 pages of alleged UFO sightings that were recorded above Spanish airspace between 1962 and 1995.
The material is available to the public in the online library of the Spanish Ministry of Defense. The reports include the location of the sighting, the date, the summary of facts, considerations, conclusions and the proposed classification or declassification of each document.
The declassification process of the documents began in 1991 when the Ministry of Defense decided to analyze the reports and reduce their classification level in order to make them available to the general public which demanded access to these documents.
Fascinating accounts – inexplicable phenomena
One of the most interesting UFO sightings was reported by pilots and crew when President Adolfo Suarez was traveling from Germany to Spain.
The strange UFO was spotted at an undisclosed location. The encounter occurred when former President Adolfo Suarez, was on board an aircraft of the Spanish Air Force. The pilots and passengers onboard witnessed strange lights that could be explained. It remains unclear as to where the sighting took place. The report reads:“During night hours on February 25, 1980, onboard the 401st Squadron aircraft on a flight from Germany to Spain, Madrid with President Suarez, strange lights were observed by the pilots and passengers“.
Furthermore, the declassified documents reveal a number of different sightings that occurred over Spain when UFO’s were detected by radar but were invisible for pilots who were sent out to intercept them.
A document which dates to the 28th of November 1979 indicates that numerous individuals observed two UFOs in Madrid. A military plane was sent out to search for the UFOs. The pilot of the intercepting aircraft didn’t see anything, even though “the weather conditions were excellent” and “radar contact had been established four times” the report reads.
That same report details other sightings, one of them occurred on November 27, 1979, when “lights in the sky, were observed by many people” and “unknown echoes” were recorded.
Furthermore, the report details how in 1971, a “luminous object was spotted following a T-33 in Talavera-Getafe route”; and in 1977, mystery lights were seen above Madrid.”
The first UFO sighting over Madrid was recorded on December 11 of 1968. Two witnesses reported at 20.05 hours and 20.30 hours the presence “of a very bright object with changes in brightness,“ in the southwestern parts of the capital.

Een team wetenschappers wil een ruimtestation, Asgardia genaamd, in het leven roepen dat onafhankelijk van de aarde zal opereren.
Deze ‘ruimtenatie’ moet zo buiten de controle van individuele landen vallen. Het project wordt geleid door de Russische wetenschapper Igor Ashurbeyli, voorzitter van Unesco’s comité voor Ruimtewetenschap.
Asgardia moet een ‘niemandsland’ om de aarde gaan worden. De naam is afgeleid van Asgard, één van de negen werelden in de Noorse mythologie.
Verwoesting
Sinds de lancering kunnen mensen zich inschrijven als burger. De eerste Asgardia-satelliet moet in 2017 gelanceerd worden.
Complottheoretici beweren nu dat Asgardia in feite een complot van de Illuminati is ‘om te ontsnappen aan de verwoesting die ze hebben aangericht’, schrijft de Daily Mail.
Zij claimen dat het Oog van Horus dat wordt gebruikt voor het project laat zien dat het gelinkt is aan het geheime genootschap.
Mind control
Dit symbool wordt onder andere in verband gebracht met vrijmetselaars en de Illuminati.
“De symboliek van de Illuminati is in het zicht verborgen, recht in je gezicht,” aldus complottheoreticus Dahboo777.
Mensen lijken het met hem eens te zijn. “Natuurlijk zullen ze het gebruiken voor mind control en andere kwaadaardige dingen,” schreef Teresa Elliot.
Schild
Eén van de eerste geplande Asgardia-projecten is de bouw van een schild dat de aarde moet beschermen tegen de inslag van asteroïden, ruimteafval en zonnewind.
Er cirkelen naar schatting ruim 20.000 stuks ruimteafval, waaronder inactief ruimtetuig en stukken van raketten, in een baan om de aarde.
Verenige Naties
“Asgardia is een volwaardige en onafhankelijke natie en een toekomstig lid van de Verenigde Naties,” aldus Ashurbeyli.
“Het dient de hele mensheid en iedereen, onafhankelijk van zijn of haar persoonlijk welzijn en de welvarendheid van het land waar ze toevallig geboren zijn,” voegde hij toe.
Gemaakt van sterrenstof: De verrassende overeenkomsten tussen neutronensterren en menselijke cellen
Gemaakt van sterrenstof: De verrassende overeenkomsten tussen neutronensterren en menselijke cellen
Mensen zijn meer verbonden met het universum dan ze denken. Uit nieuw onderzoek blijkt dat neutronensterren en menselijke cellen op dezelfde manier zijn opgebouwd.
De structuren waar ze uit bestaan lijken op parkeergarages. Natuurkundige Greg Huber van de UC Santa Barbara heeft dergelijke vormen samen met zijn team onderzocht.
Huber trof deze ‘parkeergarages’ niet alleen aan in het binnenste van menselijke cellen, ze waren eerder al ontdekt in de korst van neutronensterren.
Spiraalvormig
Neutronensterren zijn vreemde objecten. Ze ontstaan als gevolg van supernova-explosies en zijn ontzettend compact.
Deze sterren hebben een doorsnee die vaak niet meer dan enkele kilometers bedraagt, maar kunnen toch de massa van wel twee zonnen bevatten.
De onderzoekers hebben ontdekt dat het materiaal in het cytoplasma van menselijke cellen spiraalvormig is.
Het interessante is dat computersimulaties laten zien dat soortgelijke vormen ook in neutronensterren voorkomen.
Aangenaam verrast
Hoewel de vormen in neutronensterren een miljoen keer groter zijn dan die in een menselijke cel, lijken ze sterk op elkaar.
Natuurkundigen zijn aangenaam verrast over de overeenkomsten tussen de structuren.
“Dat soortgelijke materiefasen ontstaan in biologische systemen is erg verrassend,” zei Martin Savage van de Universiteit van Washington. “We hebben hier duidelijk te maken met iets interessants.”
Mysterie
Huber merkte op dat de overeenkomsten nog een mysterie zijn. “Ons onderzoek is niet het eind van iets,” zei hij. “Het is slechts het begin.”

Canadese leger onderzoekt mysterieus geluid dat van de zeebodem komt
Het Canadese leger heeft bij een afgelegen Inuït-gemeenschap in het poolgebied onderzoek gedaan naar een mysterieus geluid op de zeebodem, schrijftThe Guardian.
Het geluid werd voor het eerst opgemerkt door jagers uit Igloolik. De lokale politicus Paul Quassa liet aan zender CBC weten dat het geluid dieren wegjaagt.
Dat is niet goed voor de gemeenschap, die leeft van de jacht. “Er waren nauwelijks dieren te vinden en dat is zeker in deze periode enorm verdacht,” zei hij.
Speciale eenheid
Toen het leger op de hoogte werd gebracht van het mysterieuze geluid, werd er gelijk een speciale eenheid naar het gebied gestuurd.
Een woordvoerder liet weten dat de eenheid geen bijzondere geluiden heeft opgevangen en niet van plan is om verder onderzoek te doen.
Het blijft gissen naar de bron van het geluid. Er werd onder andere gedacht aan sonargeluiden door een mijnbouwbedrijf dat in de omgeving zoekt naar olie en gas.
Maar het bedrijf liet weten dat het geen apparatuur heeft in het gebied.
Bulderend geluid
Anderen dachten dat Greenpeace het geluid bewust creëerde om wilde dieren weg te jagen, maar dat werd ontkend door de milieuorganisatie.
Eerder dit jaar hield een vreemd geluid mensen uit Portland in Oregon uit hun slaap. Het geluid werd tientallen jaren eerder ook al eens gehoord.
En in Ontario stelt een bulderend geluid lokale bewoners al zes jaar voor een raadsel. Volgens sommigen is het geluid afkomstig van een buitenaards schip of een ondergrondse tunnel.
A California witness at Grass Valley reported watching as many as 14 UFOs overhead in a rural area during an encounter where the objects appeared to be searching for something in a nearby wooded area, according to testimony in Case 79639 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The events played out during the early morning of September 26, 2016, when the witness received a call from a friend who needed to be “rescued” from a domestic violence situation along an old logging road named Jones Ridge Road near Grass Valley.
The witness had car trouble along a rural roadway and found that the sounds of nature had stopped.

“I found her sitting on the road in complete darkness,” the witness stated.“I picked her up and continued down Jones Ridge to try and reach the other end that comes out close to my home – about two miles down Jones Ridge.”
But the witness encountered car problems.
“I high centered my car and busted a fuel line and all my gas drained out and we were now stuck in the middle of deep forest in complete blackness in the middle of nowhere. I began trying to patch the fuel line. I did not have anything to do this with so I tried to ‘MacGuvyer’ it with a maxi-pad, string and a zip-tie.”
The witness then realized something odd was happening.
“So I was on my back on the ground attempting this repair and the first thing I noticed was there was zero noises coming from the woods. No crickets, frogs, crunching leaves – nothing. If you know the forest, that does not happen – ever.”
The witness then decided to review the surroundings.
“When I noticed there were no sounds coming from the woods, I pulled my head out from under my car looking straight up. That’s when I saw the first two of them. They were straight up above us very high up – I’d say about 3,000 – 4,000 feet hovering and moving slightly back and forth and up and down, but maintaining their position.”
The witness became immediately excited and stood up, covered in red clay dust from the ground.
“I called to ‘G’, my friend, to come out of the car and look. She did so and became very upset and started to cry and become hysterical. I hugged her and gave her my best ‘not all aliens are bad’ speech. She began screaming, ‘We have to get out of here.They are going to abduct me.’ I told her to please keep her voice down and that we couldn’t leave because of the busted fuel line. She calmed down a bit and that’s when we saw the others.”
The witness soon noticed that multiple objects were near ground level appearing to be searching for something in the nearby woods.

The witness then realized there were more objects.
“I counted 12 of them to our immediate north in the woods at varying distance form 20 yards to maybe 60 yards. They were all in the woods about 10feet from the ground to maybe 30feet from the ground. They looked to be searching for something in the woods. They were C-shaped turned sideways (up and down), gray metallic with two lights. One on the top end of the C and one on the bottom of the C. They were each a little larger than a VW bug approximately.”
The witness then decided to explore the lights with a flash light.
“I asked ‘G’ to hand me the mag light because I wanted to blink it at the two hovering objects to see if I could get a response (big mistake). ‘G’ objected and began to cry again. I should have listened. She handed me the light and I began slowly flashing the two bosses (what they seemed to be) above us. The blinking provided no response, so I held the beam steady on one of them.”
The objects appeared to react to the light.
“That’s when things got a bit ‘hairy.’ When the solid beam hit the one craft, it stopped moving completely as well as the one next to it a stood completely still in the sky. While I was looking up, ‘G’ began to scream, ‘Oh my god, oh my god, they’re coming.’ I looked down and over to where she was pointing into the woods. All 12 of the craft in the woods had stopped their search and were rushing down the hill, weaving in and out of the trees directly for us.”
Thinking that the light had upset the objects, the witness quickly shut it off.
“The lights that were coming toward us all froze at once – holding in place as if awaiting orders. They froze for approximately a minute, and then turned around and continued their search of the woods. We watched them for about a half hour. I tried to film them with my phone, but kept getting an error message that the phone was malfunctioning.”
The witness recalled an unusual event on the way to pick up the friend.
“When I was on my way out of Jones Ridge to get ‘G’ I had my stereo on running on a flash drive and it kept going in and out with static. I thought this very strange because it wasn’t the radio – it was a flash drive and not dependent on a signal.”
The witness finally got the vehicle running again.
“I got the patch to hold and had enough gas in the lines to start the car. We left the lights to their business and headed down the road. We got three or four miles away when the gas ran out and we slept in the car in the middle of the road until the next morning when my buddy ‘J’ came out with gas and a proper patch.”
The witness believes there were other witnesses at other locations who saw the same lights.
“The next night I was online and saw to my amazement that our lights were part of a huge squadron-like group that was featured on mainstream media – NBC KCRA Channel 3, Sacramento at 7:56 – the same night of our encounter only just earlier. They were spotted above Rocklin/Roseville in a huge ‘C’ formation heading east right towards ‘G’ and me.”

Michigan veteran describes triangle UFO hovering over I-75
Michigan veteran describes triangle UFO hovering over I-75
A Michigan military veteran at Roscommon reported watching a hovering black, triangle UFO near Camp Grayling with an odd light configuration, according to testimony in Case 80122 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness first noticed a low set of lights while traveling southbound along I-75.
(Credit: Google)
The military veteran with training estimating distances and vehicle sizes was traveling southbound along I-75 near Camp Grayling at 10:01 p.m. on October 30, 2016.
“I noticed a large, but low set of lights – green and red, west/east respectively – on the horizon,” the witness stated. “At this distance it was approximately 20-25 degrees from the horizon. After getting a mile or so closer, I gave it more attention as I thought it was an aircraft landing at Camp Grayling, or one possibly training.”
The witness moved another mile or so closer.
“I remarked to myself that it hasn’t changed altitude, and now I could see an alternating set of strobe lights blinking. I again thought to myself that maybe it was a helicopter. As I closed the final mile between myself and the craft I began to get a better sense of its size as the gap between the red and green lights grew. It was as large, if not larger than a CH47 Chinook (the reason for the two sizes specified, this craft did not change size).”
The craft was seen directly over the north bound lanes of I-75 and approximately 500 meters north of Highway Old 76.

Then another light became visible.
“This was a solid white light. Just as I was within the last 100 meters to the object, I still could not identify what it was against the night sky.”
The witness slowed his vehicle down a few mph and rolled the window down.
“The craft was directly over the north bound lanes of I-75 and approximately 500 meters north of Highway Old 76. As I passed underneath, yet another light became visible, but this one was much smaller than the three corner lights, larger than the strobe lights, but was much dimmer, a clear, crisp border to the craft could be seen as it was darker than the night sky. Conditions were clear and unlimited. Unbelievably it was a triangle.”
The lights again from a distance appeared to be red and green.
“When I was directly under the craft, the color was closer to red-orange, and blue-green. The white light that did not strobe was located on the ‘point’ of the triangle facing south, blue-green was west, red-orange was east. The alternating strobe lights were located between the dim center, white light and the two flanking lights, oriented east east-west. The corner lights also appeared to be ‘fuzzy’ or have an ‘aurora’ to them.”
The object was between 125 and 200 meters in altitude.

The witness estimated the altitude between 125-200 meters.
“Seeing all this made me do a double take from the shock of what was a hovering craft in a shape and configuration so unfamiliar. Approximately 100 meters past (south) of the object I lost sight of it. Followed quickly by the exit sign for Old 76 (Exit 244). As I realized what I had seen, I began taking notes of all pertinent data, including time (10:01 was when I began taking notes), size, altitude, the color and orientation of the lights as well.”
Camp Grayling is the main training facility for the Michigan National Guard and is the largest US National Guard training facility in the USA.
No images or videos were included with the MUFON report, which was filed on October 31, 2016. Michigan MUFON Chief Investigator Daniel Snow is investigating.

UFO Over Mountains In Romania Caught By Photographer By Accident, April 2015, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Over Mountains In Romania Caught By Photographer By Accident, April 2015, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: April 9, 2015, reported this week
Location of sighting: Lasi, Romania
Source: MUFON #80180
I didn't include the other photos from the witness because tehere was nothing there, but he did have 3 other photos of the same mountain, but the UFO was gone. So its safe to say the UFO was moving very fast. So fast that the UFO has a smudge on its right side, which means it was traveling from right to left of the mountain top. Again, the UFO looks like a cloud, but mind you, the other photos at the source confirm it was moving lighting fasts and got caught purely by accident. Its a perfect disk, but smudged from high speed.

Eyewitness states:
I was taking pictures, at 1 sec. interval, one after another. At home, I saw the object in the picture. You will see all photos date ant time in the EXIF of the pictures. It's not dust on the sensor, I'm a photographer.

Alien Orb Caught Flying Around Mountain Hikers In Romania, Oct 2015, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: Oct 25, 2015, but reported today. Location of sighting: Kosovo, Romania Source: MUFON #80168 Orbs are curious things that don't often come down this low, but have been seen with the human eye to do so. Here its curiosity gets the best of it. I myself have witnessed an orb this big and 2 meters from me. This orb must have been in constant movement so the hikers wouldn't notice it. Its got great detail on the photo, and looks metallic, but may be some other material alien to us. Scott C. Waring Eyewitness states:
As I was hiking with a large group of people in the mountain called Lubeten 2498 in Kosovo, I made some zoomed photos of people hiking near the ridge of the mountain. After I came back at home and looked the photos, I saw several pics with a golden orb behind some hikers. There were around 230 hikers and nobody noticed it. I have more pictures of the orb hovering around.

Here is an interesting quote by Bernard Haisch, physicist, µ
“Cut through the ridicule and search for factual information in most of the skeptical commentary and one is usually left with nothing. This is not surprising. After all, how can one rationally object to a call for scientific examination of evidence? Be skeptical of the "skeptics."”
