What the …? Edmonton fourth in UFO sightings among Canadian cities
What the …? Edmonton fourth in UFO sightings among Canadian cities
Edmonton’s fascination with flat, round objects doesn’t stop with pizzas.
Sure, the city came in eighth in the battle for the world’s best pizza, but the Canadian UFO Survey released this week says Edmonton had the fourth-highest sightings of UFOs of any city in Canada.
The city followed Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver.
Among the provinces, Alberta also came fourth. Of Canada’s 1,267 sightings in 2015 – the second-highest number on record-, Quebec had a whopping 450 , Ontario 314, and 224 in B.C.
By comparison, wild rose country had a paltry 101 reported UFO sightings last year.
Edmonton’s 36 UFO reports included orange and green orbs, blinking red and white and fuzzy lights moving across the sky, a “large blurry cloud,” and a “bright round light,” moving slowly, which “seemed to flatten in shape.”
On May 12 last year, a “large green fireball” broke into six pieces and mysteriously disappeared in the city.
About a month later, on July 20, “several discs” in the sky “appeared to change colour and come in and out of focus.” That report was one of only a handful accompanied by photos or video.
The survey was compiled by Canadian-based Ufology Research, which gathers sightings “to provide data for use by researchers trying to understand this controversial phenomenon.”
Like Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, Alberta had more reported UFO sightings this year than last.
Before you get excited about a visit from alien friends or foes, only 12 per cent of all UFO reports were classified as “unexplained” phenomenon.
The number of reported UFOs here did not, unfortunately, bring Alberta onto the list of Most Interesting Canadian “Unknowns” in 2015. You’ll have to look east to Saskatchewan or west to B.C. to find those.
Take a January incident in the town of Lumsden, Sask., in which several aircraft reported “a very large object with a small white light in the middle, surrounded by a halo, moving northbound in the vicinity” of the community.
About a month later in Vancouver, someone reported a “strange object” which ”appeared to be a cliché flying saucer” floating above the roofs of highrise apartments.
If you’ve ever looked up in the sky and noticed something odd flying by, you’re not alone.
Every year, thousands of Canadians report spotting an unidentified flying object, better known as a UFO, soaring through our airspace. Most of these objects are later identified, but about 17 per cent of all sightings are relegated to the category of “unexplainable.”
Manitoba seems to be the province where the most UFOs are spotted, by a fairly wide margin (even though Canada’s UFO landing pad is located in St. Paul, Alberta — fail). Sightings in the area date all the way back to 1792, before Manitoba was even a province. But there have been just over 2,000 reports of suspicious flying objects in the past 200 years alone. Are all these people wrong? Or has Canada actually been visited by extra-terrestrial life?
While he believes in the possibility that some of the sightings could be valid, he does caution that some of them could be attributed to military exercises or increased internet access (hoax videos, anyone?), the CBC reports. A big part of the reason Manitoba is considered Canada’s UFO capital is because no other province has conducted the same kind of extensive search of its recorded sightings. In other words, Manitoba is the UFO capital by default.
Still, we reached out to Transport Canada for some answers as to why these sightings of strange flying objects persist, since the agency regulates most of the bizarre things you’d find in the sky, from commercial airliners to tiny consumer drones. They pointed us to a report which included mentions of UFOs, but there was some fine print.
“It is important to remember that in [Civil Aviation Daily Occurrence Reporting System] reports, the term ‘UFO’ can include many things, including sightings of unmanned air vehicles (UAVs or drones), balloons, meteors, weather phenomena, and birds,” Senior Communications Advisor Mélany Gauvin wrote in an email. “It should not be interpreted to mean something of extraterrestrial origin. The department cannot comment on data collected by other organizations or individuals.”
As far as Transport Canada is concerned, our country hasn’t been visited by any extra-terrestrial life. But the people in Manitoba must be seeing something in the sky, after all, since the sightings have persisted for more than 200 years. Rutkowski even reports that he receives about three alerts per day of UFO sightings from across the country.
Ah well. Guess we’ll file those under the category of “unexplained.”
IN DEEP Samples from fluid pockets in crystals inside Mexico's Naica mine in Chihuahua revealed life-forms that may have been trapped in the minerals for up to 50,000 years.
ALEXANDER VAN DRIESSCHE/WIKIMEDIA COMMONS
BOSTON— Microbes found stowed inside giant crystals in caves in Chihuahua, Mexico, may have survived there for tens of thousands of years. The microorganisms, which appear to be vastly different from nearly all life-forms found on Earth, offer a good indication of how resilient life can be in extremely harsh environments, including those found on other planets.
“These organisms are so extraordinary,” astrobiologist Penelope Boston said February 17 during a news conference at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. They are not close to any known genus scientists have been able to identify, said Boston, director of the NASA Astrobiology Institute in Moffett Field, Calif. Their closest relatives live in caves halfway around the world or in volcanic soils or thrive on compounds such as toluene.
For eight years, Boston and her colleagues have been studying microbes deep inside the Naica lead, silver and zinc mine. Some microorganisms were discovered trapped in fluid pockets inside massive crystals of calcium sulfate. Analysis suggests that the microbes may have been tucked away in these tiny time capsules for 10,000 to 50,000 years and may have been dormant for some or all of that time. But they “remained viable in some fashion and were able to be regrown,” she said. Her team reawakened the microbes in the lab and studied their genetic material, along with genetic material from other organisms found in the walls of the cave and other areas near the crystals.
The microbes found inside the crystals appear to be similar but not identical to those living outside, on the cave walls and other nearby areas, Boston said. That leaves Boston and her team fairly confident that the samples were not contaminated with other microbes and that their age estimates for the crystal-trapped microbes is solid. The team has not yet published the result. If confirmed, the microbes would represent some of the toughest extremophiles on the planet — dwelling at depths 100 to 400 meters below Earth’s surface and enduring temperatures of 45° to 65° Celsius.
“Any extremophile system that we’re studying actually allows us to push the envelope of life further,” Boston said. “We add it to this atlas of possibilities that we can apply to different planetary settings.”
Studies like these show that some microbes are hardy creatures, willing to turn just about any habitat into a home. That’s promising for the hunt for life beyond Earth. It’s problematic, however, as researchers start to think about sending probes to potentially habitable worlds, such as Jupiter’s moon Europa and Saturn’s moon Enceladus. Boston’s discovery is a reminder of how little scientists know about the microbes on Earth. And that means there are unknowns about what life-forms could stow away on spacecraft sent to other worlds, says Cassie Conley, NASA’s planetary protection officer.
“If you took some of these organisms from Earth and put them elsewhere, they may do just fine,” she says. That’s not so great for studying any native life that might be there. The Earth-based life could take over and contaminate those worlds.
VIDEO FOOTAGE OF A UFO APPEARING AFTER IT GOT HIT BY A LIGHTNING STRIKE
VIDEO FOOTAGE OF A UFO APPEARING AFTER IT GOT HIT BY A LIGHTNING STRIKE
During a thunderstorm a UFO appeared right after a lightning strike. It's unclear wether the UFO got hit by the lightning or that it generated the lightning strike in order to travel into this dimension. It appears after the strika and it hoovers above a little town. After 30 seconds there is a second lightning strike and the UFO disappears. It's interesting to see the UFO lights up the area when it's hoovering above it.
NASA has been accused of covering up an alien sighting after a video surfaced showing six UFOs passing the International Space Station live-stream seconds before the feed is cut and replaced with images from a camera showing the inside of a briefing room.
Conspiracy theorists claim the clip shows a fleet of unidentified objects flying by the ISS moments before the agency's live-stream goes dead.
The 31 second video appears to focus on the outside of the American station and within seconds, 'six large' glowing orbs crept past the camera.
Objects fly by the International Space Station
The sighting was originally spotted by YouTuber Streetcap1, who then shared the clip with SecureTeam 10.
'He has discovered what some are calling a fleet of unidentified flying objects moving in the distance behind the International Space Station,' Tyler from SecureTeam said.
'We have about six UFOs passing behind, and judging from the distance, I would guess that the size of these objects, whatever they are, would be fairly large.'
'Much larger than NASA's typical excuse of ice particles, we must be looking at icebergs.'
Tyler explained that suspiciously NASA cut the live feed and replaced it with feed from camera showing the inside of a briefing room.
The video shows the outside of the lit up International Station (ISS) floating in the dark abyss of space.
And at the six second mark, the first 'floating orb' appears in the frame - with the rest of the fleet following shortly after.
Although alien hunters are sure these balls of light are UFOs, a former NASA employee has a more scientific explanation.

A POSSIBLE EXPLANATION
In 1996, the NASA STS-75 shuttle blasted off on a 15 day mission, with a mission to transport a tether with a satellite at the end that could conduct electricity.
Unfortunately, the tether broke, leading to the loss of the satellite.
However, the strangest sequence was a cloud of ice crystals floating ahead of and around the tether, almost like dandruff, that many believed were UFOs - which could be what was seen in the latest sighting by the International Space Station.
An article posted on Atlas Obscura, explains some of James Oberg's reasons behind sightings like this one.
Oberg, who was employed at NASA in the late 1990s, calls this type of occurrence a result of 'space dandruff'.

Although experts have there explanations of what these objects could be, there are still many alien hunters who beg to differ.
Another sighting near the ISS occurred in January, when John Craddick, from Wolverhampton, told the Sun he teaching a friend how to use the NASA live feed when he spotted an object float by the station.
'I've been watching it for years but never seen any UFOs on it before,' he said.
'At first it was really small and then it grew bigger, lasting for about 25 seconds.'
Mr Craddick said 'there's nothing human which can fly that high', which he took as evidence it was a UFO.
While it is not always possible to determine exactly what these objects are during the brief period they appear in the stream, there are a number possible explanations for these types of sightings.
'It is astonishing how many UFOs are seen buzzing around the ISS, but like this video there is usually a simple explanation for them,' Nigel Watson, UFO expert and author of the UFO Investigations Manual, told MailOnline.
'This could well be a lens reflection that appears and then goes as the light changes, giving the impression of an extraterrestrial space coming into view and then cruising out of sight.
'Many UFOs caught by the ISS's cameras can be also be explained as images of space junk or satellites in the distance, and even very small flecks of paint or particles can appear like UFOs when caught by the bright light from the sun.'
Is this the moment a UFO appears above Earth before flying away?
BELIEVE IN CONSPIRACY THEORIES? YOU'RE PROBABLY A NARCISSIST
People who doubt the moon landings are more likely to be selfish and attention-seeking, according to a study earlier this year.
Over the course of three online-based studies, researchers at the University of Kent showed strong links between the belief in conspiracy theories and negative psychological traits.
Writing in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science, the team explained: 'Previous research linked the endorsement of conspiracy theories to low self-esteem.'
In the first study, a total of 202 participants completed questionnaires on conspiracy beliefs, asking how strongly they agreed with specific statements, such as whether governments carried out acts of terrorism on their own soil.
Alongside this, they were asked to complete a narcissist scale and a self-esteem assessment.
The results showed that those people who rated highly on the narcissism scale and who had low self-esteem were more likely to be conspiracy believers.

Canadian Spots Three ‘Aliens’ Working on Damaged ‘Spacecraft’
Canadian Spots Three ‘Aliens’ Working on Damaged ‘Spacecraft’
CANADA — A North York man says he saw three alien beings working on a spacecraft.
The anonymous man claims he was walking his dog at Earl Bales Park when he noticed a few lights in the distance.
” It was approximately 10:30 at night and I thought it was an ATV or something with high beam lights on it,” he says.
Reportedly, as the Ontarian approached the lights, his dog exhibited “overwhelming fear” and began to cry.
“He was trying to stop me from walking towards it. Moments later, fear came over me as well.”
What he saw, he explains, was a “craft” that had “landed with lights on it” and three small beings around it.
“They were frantically working on the object, as if was a problem with it.”
The man says he became so fearful then that decided to leave the area, hoping to find a police car or “other witnesses” to go back and observe the incident with him.
He described the craft as a shiny metallic object measuring about 20 feet in diameter and emitting “a lot of light”.
“It was probably 8 feet tall at the tallest point, coming down to disk-shape edge. It was disc shaped, with three landing feet,” he said on a MUFON report.
The alleged object, which according to the eyewitness was not hovering but had already landed, had no door nor windows and appeared to be non functional.
“They were trying to repair something,” he said.
In 2014, as a Philadelphia retired Temple University professor stated that hybrid aliens are already living among humans on Earth.
UFO SPOTTED AS HUGE 'SPACESHIP' ALMOST COLLIDES WITH AIR FORCE JET
Incredible footage of a UFO almost colliding into a jet during an air show has emerged online.
The video was shot in Puerto Varas, Chile last Friday while the Chilean high aerobatics squad pulled off a series of stunts above a crowd.
While one of the Halcones Fach's military planes zooned upwards, the hundreds of people gathered below noticed a disc appear out of nowhere.
And astonishingly it appears to narrowly graze the Air Force jet as it flashes across the sky.
Since the bizarre moment, witnesses took to social media and online forums to report they had seen an unidentified object near the plane during the demonstration.
The footage has been posted on YouTube, and has racked up nearly 10,000 views - with many people speculating over what the object could be.
While some claim it is a spaceship, others suspect it might have been a meteorite or another plane, or even a passing bird.
One person posted under the video: "Yesterday I saw a UFO in the sky – this was incredibly similar".
Another commented: "I actually think there are two UFOs if you look carefully".
Most scientists dismiss ufology, the study of UFOs, as a pseudoscience. Dr. Bob Davis wants to change that.
Each year, Phoenix, Arizona hosts the International UFO Congress, the largest annual gathering dedicated to the study of this phenomenon, otherwise known as ufology. One of the most striking things I noticed while speaking with attendees at this year's congress was their insistence on the reality of UFOs, even before I had expressed any doubt. Ufologists always seem to be on the defensive, a conversational tic that is undoubtedly learned from years of speaking with skeptics.
In other words, ufologists will always be the first ones to let you know that they don't believe in UFOs, they know they are real. But the gap between belief and knowledge is a large one, a chasm that separates the scientific and the pseudoscientific. Since ufology became something of an organized field of study, albeit a fringe one, in the 1950s, the overwhelming majority of the scientific community hasn't hesitated to label the field as pseudoscientific, much to the ire of ufologists.
Although the US government has launched formal inquiries into the UFO phenomenon, little has changed in the last six decades to indicate that ufology will ever be anything more than pseudoscientific. But Bob Davis, a retired neuroscientist and self-described "UFO agnostic," wants to change that. I caught up with him at the International UFO Congress to find out why he thinks ufology can become a serious scientific discipline. Our conversation has been lightly edited for clarity and length.
Motherboard: Hey Bob! You're a retired neuroscientist, but most scientists don't take UFOs seriously. What gives?
Bob Davis: I've been a closet ufologist my whole life, I guess because of the fear of ridicule by others. When my wife and I visited Sedona, Arizona a couple of years ago, we happened to see two orange orbs in the night sky. I'm not entirely sure what that was all about, but that motivated me to start writing a book: The UFO Phenomenon. Now I'm a member of the Dr. Mitchell Foundation for Research into Extraterrestrial Encounters, which is exploring the essence of that phenomenon.
What kind of research does this organization do?
We have studied 3057 individuals who have claimed to have conscious, explicit memory of contact with a physical craft associated with some form of non-human intelligence.
What did you find based on this research?
Ufologists have always thought that this phenomenon was a negative or hostile experience, but we're finding just the opposite. What we've found is that about 85 percent of the people who are experiencing this phenomenon are being transformed in a very positive behavioral or psychospiritual way. Generally, people become more humane, experience a oneness with the world. They become less interested in organized religion, they become more spiritual, they have less interest in monetary values, and become more sensitive to the ecological welfare of our planet, among many other psychospiritual outcomes. It is a real and powerful outcome that is generally ignored by the UFO community.
We believe, but we don't pretend we have the answer, but we feel that the quantum holographic theory of consciousness outlined by Dr. Edgar Mitchell, the co-founder of FREE, provides a possible explanation of the essence of the phenomena. We base that again, in part, on the transformative aspects the experience has on the individual. People are reporting that they become aware, based on their interaction with the phenomenon, that there is indeed a multi-dimensional reality, that there is life after death. We're trying to apply, in other words, is a scientific explanation, but not claiming we have the answer.
Has the psychological community acknowledged this research?
Our results will appear in two journals later this year, the Journal ofConsciousnessand The Journal of Scientific Exploration.
We're not saying we have irrefutable evidence of what this phenomenon is about, we simply want to present our results and increase public awareness, especially that of the mainstream so they can take this topic much more seriously. Once we publish our results in these journals, hopefully it will stimulate more interest and attention, and hopefully research that builds upon our preliminary findings.
Did you notice any similarities between people who were reporting these experiences?
The obvious question is whether these individuals might be having an illusion or a fantasy proneness, some aberrant psychological pathology that might give rise to their contentions that they're behaviorally transformed. That's discounted to a large extent because if they were in fact having some type of psychological aberration to begin with, it would be very unlikely that they'd report such positive behavioral outcomes as a result of their interaction with this phenomenon. The fact that so many, about 85 percent, say the same thing, also diminishes the possibility that there is an underlying psychological aberration associated with it. Unfortunately we didn't have the time and money to screen all individuals for some psychological problem. Future research should look at that component of the individual who is reporting this kind of experience.
It sounds like a religious experience that these people are describing.
Many of these positive transformations are similar to a spiritual awakening. Call it psychospirtual, call it religious, call it whatever, but the vast majority of these people are transformed in a very positive way.

Do you think UFOs are extraterrestrial in origin, or unexplained earthly phenomenon, like a military craft or something?
Most ufologists claim that this phenomenon is extraterrestrial in nature, but science has to look at other explanations. Unfortunately it will probably still continue to be viewed as a pseudoscience by the general scientific community, which is highly unfortunate because this phenomenon is valid and is impacting of thousands of people worldwide. Without question we have to make it more scientifically rigorous. The confounding variable is that we don't, at the present time, have the scientific principles to apply to help answer the underlying essence of what governs and regulates this phenomenon. We're probably not going to ever have irrefutable evidence to what this phenomenon is all about. We can only indirectly make conclusions. Maybe over time these principles will evolve, and that can be more specifically applied as a means to qualify and quantify largely anecdotal evidence which is what we have from thousands of experiences. Anecdotal evidence can't be measured in a laboratory and most scientists want tangible data.
What would that look like in this case? Actually capturing a UFO?
That would be the smoking gun. Many contend we do have UFOs being housed wherever. People contend they have the answer, but we don't know who or what to believe. Ufology is littered with such disinformation, people that make up conclusions without sufficient evidence. It's very hard to separate fact from fiction, sense from nonsense, which is largely why most scientists consider it at best a pseudoscience and don't want to become involved. Plus there's no granting agency that is going to provide funding for scientists to engage in this type of research, so that also turns off a lot of the scientific community, especially in the academic setting.
You spent 30 years as a neuroscientist, but now you don't doubt ufology as a legitimate area of study. What would it take to convince other scientists to take this seriously?
There are many scientists who are interested in the phenomenon and take it seriously. But it needs to be more so, a research effort by researchers from many scientific disciplines working in a collaborative fashion to study this phenomenon with much more serious intent. There's an obvious fear of ridicule, so people don't reveal interest in this area. It's unfortunate because the scientific community should be more engaged rather than being largely dissociated from studying the phenomenon. Although Organizations like the Mutual UFO Network devote a lot of time studying UFOs, but continuing to analyze this phenomenon in the manner that they do, which is a retrospective analysis of prior events, is not going to advance our understanding of the phenomenon. We need to apply more rigorous scientific protocols, using a multi-disciplinary approach. I believe that's going to be the only way we're going to gain greater insights into the phenomenon.
The Chilean high aerobatics squad – called Halcones Fach – were performing stunts above a crowd in Puerto Varas when the bizarre incident happened.
As one of the military planes zooms upwards in the sky, a high disc comes out of nowhere and appears to narrowly graze it.
Local reports have said that numerous witnesses at the show last week came forward to say they had seen numerous unidentified objects near the planes during the demonstration.

5 surprising things about the 'Phoenix Lights' sighting that we learned at UFO Congress
5 surprising things about the 'Phoenix Lights' sighting that we learned at UFO Congress
44
A witness describes encounter with the "Phoenix Lights" 20 years ago and and its lasting impact at the UFO Congress in Scottsdale, Arizona, on Friday, Feb. 17, 2017. Wochit
PHOENIX — The "Phoenix Lights" incident remains a big deal to UFO researchers worldwide even 20 years later because thousands reported witnessing the phenomenon.
We know the official explanation that the lights in the sky and possible craft were military flares left many, especially among UFO and extraterrestrial believers, unsatisfied. We know that the curiosity about it probably isn't going to go away anytime soon.
Several hundred people attended "The Importance of the Phoenix Lights-Mass UFO Sighting" panel discussion earlier this week as part of the International UFO Congress in Scottsdale.
Panelists included:
•Richard Dolan, a UFO writer and researcher, host of a weekly radio program and guest on the shows Hangar One and Ancient Aliens.
• Lynne Kitei, a witness to the lights and author of Phoenix Lights: A Skeptic's Discovery That We Are Not Alone.
• Jim Mann, director of Arizona MUFON (Mutual UFO Network), an investigative and research organization.
The panel was moderated by James Fox, a director of three UFO documentaries.
Here are a few things you may not know about the lights, according to the panel.
1. Mysterious lights were spotted in the months before March 13, 1997.
Two months before Phoenix became a hotbed of UFO interest, some reported seeing strange lights in the month before, including panelist Kitei.
2. It's called, the Phoenix Lights, but the mass sightings began in another state.
UFO researchers report that before the lights were seen over Phoenix, they were first spotted near Henderson, Nev. Afterward, they were spied in Mexico.
"We call it the Phoenix Lights, but it's really not completely accurate," said Dolan, referencing the sightings hours earlier in Nevada. "You're talking about two distinctive types of events. Could be related. Could be the same thing. Could be something different."
3. It took three months for news of the mass sightings to 'go viral.'
The event happened in the middle of March, but it didn't become general knowledge until June 18, 1997, when USA TODAY put a brief headlined "Skies, phone lines light up Ariz." on the front page.
4. Even among some UFO investigators, there is not enough evidence to say it was extraterrestrial-related.
"Do we have evidence that it was an extraterrestrial event? No," said MUFON investigator Mann. "We have evidence that it was an extremely bizarre event. We can't put a label on it other than it was an anomaly."
Mann added that Arizona MUFON investigated 325 cases of reported UFOs last year. The majority were explained, 12 were filed away as unknown.
5. Seeing the lights caused an unnatural reaction, according to some witnesses.
Panelists shared that instead of being awed and immediately wanting to discuss what they saw, some witnesses reported a sort of temporary amnesia. Moderator Fox shared that while interviewing some hospice workers for one of his UFO documentaries about the event, they shared that they watched the lights appear and disappear over a period of time but didn't say a word about it. "We went right back to our tea," Fox said a woman told him.
Mann said he spoke to a man who reported that he stopped his car on the side of the road and watched with several others as a craft "slowly glided overhead. Not a word was spoken. After it went on by, everyone got in their car and drove home."
The Arizona Republic sifted through more than 100 reports from the Project Blue Book files, searching for the interesting, the bizarre and the unbelievable stories from Arizona's UFO sightings. Many of the names and specific locations within the reports were redacted by the U.S. Air Force. Thinkstock
VIDEOHet Amerikaanse ruimtevaartagentschap NASA heeft vrijdag plots zijn live feed vanuit het internationaal ruimtestation onderbroken. Volgens ufo-spotters zou dat gebeurd zijn nadat er zes 'ongeïdentificeerde vliegende objecten' in formatie door het beeld zoefden. Hoewel de beelden waarschijnlijk enkel ijspartikels zijn, zagen ufo-spotters er meteen complot in.
Tijdens de rechtstreekse uitzending zien we hoe de zes objecten van rechts naar links door het beeld bewegen. Het was ufo-spotter Streetcap1 die het merkwaardige fenomeen als eerste opmerkte. Hij deelde vervolgens de clip met SecureTeam10. Dit is een groep van ufo-experten die de beelden bestudeerde en hun bevindingen online delen.
"Streetcap1 heeft een zogenaamde vloot van ongeïdentificeerde vliegende objecten waargenomen die achter ISS voorbijschuift", zegt Tyler van SecureTeam10. "Het gaat zo te zien over een zestal objecten. Te oordelen naar de afstand waarop ze achter het ruimtestation passeren, zijn het objecten van een aanzienlijke omvang".
"NASA doet deze objecten meestal af als ijspartikels", vervolgt Tyler. "In dit geval zou het dan wel om enorme ijsbergen gaan".
Nog volgens Tyler heeft de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie de live-feed plots onderbroken nadat de 'ufo's' hun opwachting hadden gemaakt. Er werd overhaast overgeschakeld naar een camera die beelden doorstuurde van een vergaderzaal.
Dit is koren op de molen van de aanhangers van samenzweringstheorieën. Die beweren dat wetenschappers bij NASA wel degelijk op de hoogte zijn van buitenaards leven, maar er alles aan doen om bewijzen hiervan in de doofpot te stoppen.
Het zou bovendien niet de eerste keer zijn dat de livestream vanuit ISS abrupt afgebroken worden voor 'ongewone waarnemingen'. NASA doet dit steevast af als 'een technisch mankement'.
Anderen beweren dan weer dat wetenschappers en astronauten codenamen hanteren voor aliens en ufo's. Een 'theorie' luidt dat een astronaut aan boord van ruimtestation ISS per ongeluk het codewoord 'gospel' voor een ufo onthulde.

Various Clues Show That the Fabled Continent of Lemuria Actually Existed
Various Clues Show That the Fabled Continent of Lemuria Actually Existed
Various legends and other unusual landforms remind of the submerged continent of Lemuria that stretched all the way from India to Australia. Like Atlantis, this ancient landmass disappeared in mysterious circumstances tens of thousands of years ago.
Towards the end of the 19th century, English geologist Philip Sclater had coined the idea of a submerged continent named Lemuria. Although such a belief was not so novel, the researcher provided evidence that would even be approved by the scientific community at that time.
In an article entitled ‘The Mammals of Madagascar,’ Sclater noted that lemur fossils were abundant in Madagascar and India, whlist in mainland Africa and Middle East there were none. Based on this observation, he proposed that India and Madagascar formed at some point in time a broader continent, and reffered to it as ‘Lemuria.’
Science later adopted the idea of continental drift, so a submerged continent would have been less probable by the new standards. Even so, the concept of a submerged ancient land remains viable, as there are numerous enigmas residing in the area which point in that direction.
The first anomalous area which hints at a mythical continent of Lemuria is ‘Adam’s Bridge,’ also known as ‘Rama’s bridge’ after its legendary builder. What remains of it is a mysterious string of sand combined with pebbles stretching over an 18-miles-area from mainland India to Sri Lanka. It was first considered a natural formation, but satellite images released by NASA revealed that it could be in fact a collapsed bridge underneath the ocean’s surface.
The legend has it that Rama constructed a colossal bridge that would transport his army of Vanara, or ape-men, across the water mass separating his kingdom from the island of Lanka where his wife Sita was held captive. It could be just a tale, but it’s more likely that it has some truth in it considering that the mysterious remains resemble a submerged bridge.
The Tamil people are an ethnic group who strongly believe in the existence of Lemuria, although they have their own term for it, namely Kumari Kandam. Tamil population numbers over 76 million people at present. They are spread throughout Sri Lanka, India, Mauritius, Singapore and Malaysia, and their language is considered among the oldest written dialects in the world.
According to their genesis story, they are descendants of the old Pandiyan kings which ruled over a portion of land that was swallowed by the ocean in ancient times.
Tamils claim their ancestors’ kingship was spread all across the Indian continent, and their civilization is the oldest in the world. When Kumari Kandam was flooded, its dwellers scattered in all directions and contributed to the foundation of many civilizations that followed. Because of this, it is believed that this long-forgotten and submerged continent was the cradle of human civilization.
According to geologists, the Lemurian continent had been divided somewhere towards the end of the Mesozoic era because of the rising waters. India’s National Institute if Oceanography revealed in a study that sea level was 100 meters lower approximately 14,500 years ago, and it gradually went up because of global warming until periodic floods covered a considerable portion of the landmass. In turn, this led to the disappearance of many coastal civilizations, in our case Lemuria, or Kumari Kandam.
The equator regions have always been most prone to natural catastrophes like earthquakes and volcano eruptions,” explained Professor Karsten M. Storetved, University of Bergen in Norway.
These tectonic processes played an important role in the disappearance of the ancient continent known as Lemuria to western scholars. Sri Lanka, together with India, Indonesia and Malaysia were part of this continent. Many islands in the Pacific and Indian oceans are remnants of this continent that in ancient times covered the whole area of today’s ocean.”
…descriptions of cataclysm in early literature when land suddenly went underwater are logical. But they should be proven to be scientific facts. This can be done with the help of sea-floor analysis that is possible to carry out. Modern theories find supportive evidence, both in ancient literature and language history…”
With so much technology at hand, it would seem a reasonable task to discover the ruins of this fabled continent, but the bottom of the ocean is an inhospitable place with frequent transitions resulting from volcanic activity, earthquakes and erosion. It may be that we’ll never discover the ruins of ancient Lemuria, but legends about it will continue to surf the planet in this new age of information.
And who knows, maybe one day every individual will have the possibility to become an amateur archaeologist, and eventually bring to light crucial facets of our long-forgotten ancestry.
Elon Musk Says Aliens Are Watching Humanity, But Humans Are Not Smart Enough To Realise It, Feb 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Elon Musk Says Aliens Are Watching Humanity, But Humans Are Not Smart Enough To Realise It, Feb 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Tech Billionaire Elon Musk spoke at the World Summit Meeting this week and brought up some very interesting subjects. At 11 min into the video he speaks of humanity meeting aliens for the first time. "Imagine you were very confident that we were going to be visited by super confident aliens in say 10 years or 20 years at the most." Then, seconds afterward the speaker asks, "So you think in maybe 20 years, we will have aliens on earth?" Elon got nervous at this point, fidgeted a little bit to gather his wits and then in a composed state of mind said stated; "Digital super intelligence will be like an alien." Then he continues, "Some people among us ask where are the aliens?" At this point, he grinned as if he knew something great...something he knew and the rest of the world didn't. It was a certain cockiness in his voice and attitude and continues by saying, "maybe they are among us, I don't know. Some people think I am an alien. Not true." A few minutes later the speaker asks, "Do you think we will make contact with aliens in the next 50 years?" You can see him thinking deeply about this question, and then says; "thats a real tough one to say. Uh...I mean, if there are super intelligent aliens out there, they probably already observing us. That would seem quite likely and we are just not smart enough to realise it." Then he continues; "any alien civilisation that was even interested in populating the galaxy, even without faster than the speed of light, even if you were only traveling at 10-20% the speed of light, you could populate the entire galaxy in say 10 million years." Now I have never stated publicly that Elon Musk is an alien, never, but apparently someone has, and its no surprise. His tech innovations are groundbreaking. He made a space capsule for NASA that was roomier, and more Star Trek-like in just 14 days after NASA asked for one. Thats impossible. I believe Elon could be an alien and is certainly showing lack of failing and mass successes as an alien would, but I feel he is getting his alien tech innovations from the US government trying to leak alien tech into the public sectors. Probably DARPA or some other Gov agency has been secretly passing alien technology to Elon and seeing what he could make with it. I also think a lot of his funding comes from the US government to insure he succeeds. Scott C. Waring
White UFO Shoots Past Chile Air Force Jet Over Chile Almost Hitting It, Feb 10, 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
White UFO Shoots Past Chile Air Force Jet Over Chile Almost Hitting It, Feb 10, 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: February 10, 2017 Location of sighting: Puerto Varas, Chile This UFO was caught near a Chile Air Force plane performing over the city of Puerto Varas last week. UFO and alien drones (AI controlled usually) have a put a high amount of interest upon any technology that can fly. This allows aliens to asses human tech levels. Thus, they can make predictions about humanities future and the events that will unfold. Scott C. Waring Eyewitness states:
Massive sighting of an unidentified flying object (UFO) in the city of Puerto Varas, Chile, seen from three different angles. Strange unidentified flying object (UFO), it seems to pass very close to a plane "Halcones Fach" of the Chilean air force, in full flight demonstration held in the city of Puerto Varas, south of the country, last February 10 2017.
Glowing UFO Over Kenner Neighborhood On Dec 20, 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Glowing UFO Over Kenner Neighborhood On Dec 20, 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Dec 20, 2016 Location of sighting: Keener, Louisiana, USA Source: MUFON Here is a report from December, but just came in this week about three glowing orbs over the city of Keener. The UFOs are in a triangle formation and may be part of once single UFO instead of three separate UFOs. Nice capture, but if you are that close to the UFO, you should walk forward toward its location if at all possible to see it better. Scott C. Waring Eyewitness states:
I first heard a very loud booming type bass sound about 10 minutes prior to seeing the triangle shaped UFO outside the front of my house. Not sure if this loud vibrating noise has anything to do with the UFO sighting but it is still occurring outside right now. The sound is strange because we are not able to figure out where it is coming from and normally it is easy to tell where a sound like this is originating from. As soon as I went outside in my front yard to listen to the booming sound a large triangle shaped UFO appeared in the northern sky above me moving in a westerly direction. The UFO had three white lights in the shape of a triangle with other colored flashing lights. There was no sound coming from the UFO and it was NOT a airplane, helicopter and or drone. I know this because I live close to the airport and I see planes all day and night and none of them look like this unknown object. I have video footage of the UFO which I will include in this report.
Last year, Albertans looking up at the night sky spotted everything from bright balls of light to glowing orbs, and even a "dark sphere the size of a small house."
That's according to the annual Canadian UFO Survey, which said the province saw an increase in reports pertaining to unidentified flying objects in 2015 compared to 2014.
There were 101 UFO sightings reported in Alberta last year and 95 the year before.
A southern Alberta family snapped this photo of what they think was a flying object that hovered over their cattle fields in 2014. In 2015, there were 101 UFOs reported in the province. (Sam Martine)
The most ever reported happened in 2012 — which according to the Mayan Calendar — was also supposed to be the year the world ended.
"There were 323 reports from Alberta alone," said Chris Rutkowski, a science writer who compiled this year's survey.
"People were spending a lot more time looking and and they were worried that the UFO's were coming. I guess it was sort of end of the world jitters."
The 2015 summary of the survey describes UFO witnesses as "individuals with reasonably good observing capabilities and good judgement."
Rutkowski said they're from all walks of life — pilots, air traffic controllers, and members of the Armed Forces.
"According to some polls, 10 per cent of the Canadian population believe they've seen UFOs. So you're actually in good company if you have seen a UFO."

Pre-1900 UFO Cases
Pre-1900 UFO Cases
These cases date pre-1900, several prominent cases do not appear on this list because they are either hoaxes or have been further researched and were simply not authentic, most notable is the 'Alexander the Great Case of 329 BC', otherwise these incidents have all been deemed legitimate.
These cases include the Nuremberg Sighting of 1034 through to the Great California Airship of 1897. There will be a few more cases added shortly if research bears out there authenticity. There are other sightings that have their origin in the Bible, those are too numerous to list here.
UFO Over New York's Schoharie County - 1790
About 9 p.m., a bright shining light appeared in the northern sky with a great roar. The witness indicated that it grew in intensity until it would have out-shown the noonday sun. The resident remarked that the light was so bright that he could have “… picked up pins in every corner.” As the object moved over the countryside, it met with a rise of tall trees and as it did, it rose above them and continued on with the speed of galloping horse.

Object Seen Above Tennessee College Campus - 1853
On June 1, 1853 a luminous object was seen by many as it hovered over a Tennessee college campus. As the sun rose over the campus of Burritt College, numerous students—who apparently were early risers in those days, too—were startled to see two luminous objects in the sky. According to professor A.C. Carnes, who reported the incident in a letter to Scientific American, the first had the appearance of a small new moon, while the other resembled a large star. The small object then vanished, while the bigger one changed shape, first into a globe and then into an elongated shape parallel with the horizon. The smaller light then became visible again, and increased rapidly in size, while the other object shrank. The two objects continued fluctuating in a similar fashion for the next 30 minutes. “The students have asked for an explanation, but neither the President nor Professors are satisfied as to the character of the lights,” wrote Carnes. While he himself speculated that the occurrence might have been caused somehow by atmospheric moisture, the incident remains a mystery.
Electrical UFO Monster July 1893
Long before government cover ups, hoaxes or even flying machines this article appeared in the Tacoma/Seattle Newspaper. On July 3, 1893 several fishermen were awakened in the middle of the night by the presence of a strange craft that they described as an "electric monster." Their watches stopped and the craft/monster emitted electricity and light. Read the full newspaper article at the link below.
Reports of UFOs were recorded in newspapers of the 19th century. One of the most famous cases of the time appeared in the St. Louis Democrat, Oct. 19, 1865. That article also appeared two weeks later in The Cincinnati Commercial, bringing more public awareness to UFOs. The account was of an old Montana fir trapper by the name of James Lumley who saw a UFO fly over him and crash into the forest, "exploding like a rocket". Lumley reported that there was hieroglyph writing and glass on the side of the craft which made this case extremely intriguing. To read about more about the James Lumley UFO.
Attempted Alien Abduction-Lodi, California, 1896
Shawed said the UFO hovered quietly over water
Over 60 years before alien abduction claims became mainstream, two people were nearly abducted in Lodi, California. Colonel H. G. Shaw, along with his friend Camille Spooner, had a close encounter with previously unknown entities, traveling with their UFO in 1896.
Not many people know that seeing unidentified lights in the sky goes back over a century, when the first UFO “flap” (a grouping of UFO sightings made over a specific area within a few months) occurred over a hundred years ago in the waning years of the nineteenth century. It all began when a mysterious unidentified light was observed by hundreds of people moving slowly over Sacramento, California in November, 1896, apparently moving against the wind at a leisurely thirty miles an hour. It was seen again a week later, this time over San Francisco; by the end of the year hundreds of reports of the thing were coming in from all over the Pacific coast, creating a media frenzy.

Aurora, Texas UFO Crash of 1897
The Aurora UFO Incident that reportedly occurred on April 17, 1897 in Aurora, Texas, a small town in the northwest corner of the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. The incident (similar to the more famous Roswell UFO Incident 50 years later) reportedly resulted in a fatality from the crash. The alleged alien body is was buried in an unmarked grave at the local cemetery. To read more about the Aurora Texas UFO crash.
The Maracaibo, (Venezuela) Incident Oct 24, 1886
The occupants, completely terror stricken, and believing, as they relate, that the end of the world had come, threw themselves on their knees and commenced to pray, but their devotions were almost immediately interrupted by violent vomiting and extensive swellings commenced to appear in the upper part of their bodies, this being particularly noticeable about the face and lips.

UFO, Denison Texas - 1878
City of Denison a few years after the sighting
"From Mr. John Martin, a farmer who lives some six miles south of this city, we learn the following strange story: Tuesday morning while out hunting, his attention was directed to a dark object high up in the southern sky. The peculiar shape and velocity with which the object seemed to approach riveted his attention and he strained his eyes to discover its character." To read more about the Denison Texas UFO.
UFO Seen From Windsor Castle - 1783
Thomas Sandby and his brother witness the event at Windsor
"An oblong cloud moving more or less parallel to the horizon. Under this cloud could be seen a luminous object which soon became spherical, brilliantly lit, which came to a halt; this strange sphere seemed at first to be pale blue in colour but then its luminosity increased and soon it set off again towards the East.

French Coin From 1680 Depicting UFO
French Education coin of 1680 clearly depicting a UFO
This is a French jeton minted in 1680, a coin-like educational tool that was commonly used to help people count money, or sometimes used as a money substitute for playing games. It is about the size of a U.S. quarter-dollar and similar to thousands of other jetons with different religious and educational designs that were produced and used in Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries. It appears to commemorate a UFO sighting of a saucer like object. Some researchers feel it represents the Biblical Ezekiel's wheel. The Latin inscription 'OPPORTUNUS ADEST' translates as 'It is here at an opportune time". To read more about the French UFO coin of 1680.

Basel,Switzerland UFO Battle of 1566
In Basel Switzerland on August 7, 1566, at dawn, many citizens became frightened when they witnessed black spheres in the sky involved in a formidable aerial battle for several hours. There was no doubt that the skies above their city were being invaded.
According to the Nuremberg Gazette, the "dreadful apparition" filled the morning sky with "cylindrical shapes from which emerged black, red, orange and blue-white spheres that darted about." Between the spheres, there were "crosses with the color of blood" (i.e. red crosses). To read more about the Nuremberg UFO Sighting.

Shen Kuo was a man ahead of his time, centuries before it was accepted Shen said the moon and the sun were round not flat, he accurately described why we have eclipses, and discovered magnetic north. In Shen most famous book "Dream Pool Essay" he had a chapter devoted to "Strange Happenings". In he he wrote about the following UFO sightings
It opened its door and a flood of intense light like sunbeams darted out of it, then the outer shell opened up, appearing as large as a bed with a big pearl the size of a fist illuminating the interior in silvery white. The intense silver-white light, shot from the interior, was too strong for human eyes to behold;

SHOCK: Humans are descended from aliens from Mars – shock claim
Seth Shostak, director of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) institute, says life as we know it may have come from Mars.
He claims an asteroid collided with the red planet and flung dirt across space to Earth.
Shostak said: "It's possible that billions of years ago, tiny bits of biology quit the Red Planet and infected ours.
"If so, your family tree – and that of every other terrestrial life form – has its deepest roots not in the ancient oceans of Earth, but in the vanished seas of Mars.”
GETTY
CLAIM: Seth Shostak says life on Earth may come from the red planet
The theory, known as panspermia, is that some microorganisms can survive the lifeless space between planets.
They then grew and evolved on Earth eventually creating humans, the theory continues.
Writing in the Huffington Post, Shostak added: "Scientists estimate that in the early days of the solar system, billions of rocks between an inch and a yard in size were involuntarily shuttled from the Red Planet to ours.
"In its youth, Mars was wetter and warmer than now, and could have spawned living things at a time when Earth was as lifeless as an octogenarian slumber party.
"Because so many martian rocks were kicked into space, it's highly probable that at least some would have come from an inhabited patch of Mars – assuming it had inhabitants.
"And some of those would have landed in a suitably welcoming patch of Earth.”

Six UFOs 'creep past' International Space Station before NASA 'cuts live feed'
Six UFOs 'creep past' International Space Station before NASA 'cuts live feed'
Alien conspiracy theorists have gone into overdrive this weekend after a video emerged online allegedly showing a cluster of UFOs flying past the International Space Station.
The 31-second video appears to focus on the outside of the American station and within seconds, 'six large' glowing orbs crept past the camera.
WATCH: Cluster of mysterious objects fly past ISS before 'NASA live feed is cut'
Video by: NASA
According to the Daily Mail the sighting was originally spotted by Youtube user Streetcap1, who then shared the clip online.
The video was shared with alien conspiracy website SecureTeam and Tyler from group told the website that he believed the items would be "fairly large".
"Much larger than NASA's typical excuse of ice particles, we must be looking at icebergs."
Tyler explained that suspiciously NASA cut the live feed and replaced it with feed from camera showing the inside of a briefing room.
Last month John Craddick, from Wolverhampton in the UK, claimed he spotted another UFO on the ISS live feed.
The Phoenix Lights incident remains one of the world's most perplexing mass UFO sightings on record, and still causes intrigue among the alien research community, even though many sceptics claim to have debunked the case.
The Phoenix Lights Incident will celebrate its 20th anniversary next month.
It became a phenomenon in March 13 1997 thousands of people began telling of seeing huge triangular UFOs drifting over Arizona and the city of Phoenix.
The size of them varied from a Boeing 747 to multiple football fields.
A panel of UFO experts discussed the case as part of the UFO Congress conference in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Several hundred people attended an event called The Importance of the Phoenix Lights-Mass UFO Sighting.
One element that emerged during the panel's discussion was that there was a bizarre reaction to the sightings by a number of witnesses.
MUFON
Triangle UFOs, like this CGI representation, were reportedly seen by thousands.
Lynne Kitei
A picture of the Phoenix Lights taken by witness Lynne Kitei in 1997.
Some reported a temporary amnesia-like state, when immediately after seeing the lights, they went blank or failed to discuss it with anyone.
Panel moderator filmmaker James Fox, who investigated the case to produce a documentary, said that during interviews with hospice workers, they told how they "watched the lights appear and disappear over a period of time but didn't say a word about it."
One woman told him: "We went right back to our tea."
Jim Mann, director of the Arizona Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) branch, which investigates UFO and alien sightings, told of similar accounts.
A man told Mr Mann he stopped his car to watched the UFOs with several other people and "a craft slowly glided overhead".
The man said: "Not a word was spoken. After it went on by, everyone got in their car and drove home," the panel heard.
The panel also included Richard Dolan, a UFO writer and researcher, and Dr Lynne Kitei, a witness to the incident who went on to write the book Phoenix Lights: A Skeptic's Discovery That We Are Not Alone.
They looked at other claims, including that similar mysterious sightings had happened in the three months leading up to March 1997.
Witnesses to these earlier lights included Dr Kitei, she said.
The panel also heard that the mass sightings actually started outside of Arizona, azcentral.com reports.
They were first reportedly seen near Henderson, Nevada, and later in Mexico.
Mr Dolan said: "We call it the Phoenix Lights, but it's really not completely accurate.
"You're talking about two distinctive types of events. Could be related. Could be the same thing. Could be something different."
Despite the unanswered issues, researchers remain loathed to say it means it must have been aliens.
