Filer’s Files #37 -2017 UFO Reports - PART II
UFO Sightings in the United States
Alabama Light
Ranburne— My wife and I were watching fireworks on July 4th when we noticed these strange lights doing unnatural things. We videoed them on my iPhone and on her Lg G3 smart phone. We knew this was not an airplane or fireworks or a drone. We were excited and confused so that’s why we documented the event. After several times of it disappearing and reappearing it finally stopped. We were at home and started videoing around 9:00 pm central time. Thanks to MUFON CMS
California Object
Elk Grove — It happened on September 5, 2017, at 7:46 pm, my wife “DJS” has the psychic power to uncloak. Time after time, she has proven to me that she can feel a UFO or even a portal in the sky and take a photo of the UFO that will appear in the photo. In one photo, she actually captured a portal in the sky over Copperopolis. The one that really struck a chord with me was the story of the mysterious eye and her account of an alien abduction. She got the impulse to snap a photo and she captured 3 UFOs in a V formation.
During our investigations together we were connected to the UFOs by using two crystal skulls. She asked the UFO to “power up” and that is exactly what the UFO did and was witnessed by others. Other people who may have had the psychic power to uncloak UFOs were: Ed Walters, and Eduard Albert Meier. My wife “D” has the psychic power to uncloak UFOs and does it have a connection to her alien abduction? Thanks to MUFON CMS
Georgia Triangle
Augusta– On September 1, 2017, a series of photos were taken of a triangle shaped craft over Augusta that could be the US experimental TR-3B;
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Illinois 7 Oval Shaped Objects
Glendale – On August 31, 2017, the witness called and reported his sighting via a voice-mail message. I called the witness and interviewed him later. The witness couldn’t sleep so he took a walk to a gas station about 1.5 miles from his house. He noticed a light hovering to the east. He at first thought it was an aircraft, but realized that it wasn’t because it kept silent, hovering and was too large for an aircraft. He snapped one photo of the oval shaped object that was 250 yards in diameter. There were blinking white, blue and green lights around the perimeter and on the bottom corners. He then noticed seven other similar objects gradually appeared 25 miles from Chicago O’Hare Airport. Upon arrival at the gas station he saw two police officers and they also were observing the sky. One policeman said that the object was an “airbus.” The other officer was baffled. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com
Indiana Object
Mentone — My deer camera has 4 pictures that look like a rod of light taken on September 8, 2016. They are hours apart and the closest one people say look like a grain auger and the farther away Ones look like glowing rods with a slight bend in them. The confusing part is it looks like it takes off from my neighbor’s house then the next picture it’s above my house. I went and talked to neighbor and now he’s confused. The people in my area are curious to what might have made these forms in the air.
Kansas Lights
Wichita — I was out looking for UFOs when I noticed what looked like a star that was moving real slowly on July 13, 2017. So I tried to record it. The ship had scramblers that made my phone go crazy. After about 45 minutes, I finally manipulated the ships scramblers so I was able to record this massive ship with little ships flying in and around it. We were at my brother’s house in Wichita and it looked like a huge diamond in the sky that scared me. It was like the movie “Independence Day.” It was in the sky for already 5 hours watching earth before we even realized the star was moving. I tried to record, but it wouldn’t let me. Then we noticed ten UFOs all around it and one Lil UFO shoots of in space like Superman. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Massachusetts Orb
Bourne — I was sitting on my deck on September 1, 2017, and saw a giant orange ball of light heading south across sky. I immediately called my husband out when it first appeared and he observed it also. Five minutes later another orange ball flew south across the sky. Neither of us could identify the ball of light. I was able to take two pictures of 2nd sighting. I waited but did not see it again.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Jersey Object
Absecon — I awakened at 4:48 am with a feeling of being wide awake and a feeling of gently swaying sensation left to right as I lay in bed on September 8, 2017. I could feel the swaying pressure going from left to right like I was floating on a big wave ever so gently. I had a slight head fog with the feeling of slight pressure building in my head like driving up to the mountains. I got up to see the sunrise in the east and the moon was high in the south western sky. Then I started taking pictures of the moon as some birds were flying,
When I got into my vehicle to drive home I felt like I was in a slight drunk state but did not consume alcohol. I had to force myself to be extra alert when driving. I noticed the object in my picture once I downloaded it into my computer I zoomed in and it does not look like anything I ever saw before. Appears to be black with what looks to be a light of hole in middle. It could be a drone but I just never seen a drone like this before. I saw nothing when I was looking in the direction of the moon. I did feel a slight drugged like feeling a light headed fogginess. Maybe it’s the atmosphere and climatic changes, and magnetic field or gravitational pull that’s doing something to make me feel this way. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New York Disc
New York City— I was walking, so very happy talking to a friend from California on the phone, when something told me to take a picture on January14, 2017….. I noticed a white object on the front, and a flying craft in the back ground. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Pennsylvania Object
Philadelphia — On August 30, 2017, I looked out of my 3rd floor window and saw 8 objects fly over my city from west to east. At first from a distance maybe 1-2 miles I thought they were soaring vultures. Redtails are common but not that many at once so that drew my attention. I went back to my work the objects were much closer and were not birds but were very smooth looking objects and resembled a manta ray. The way they flew was very controlled and not just with the wind, they would bank and change altitude, dip and bank. I ran back inside to grab my camera to snap two photos before they flew out of sight.
The building that blocked my view so they had to be very low. I looked out of my 3rd floor window and saw about 8 objects fly over my city from west to east. Thanks to MUFON CMS
South Carolina Triangles
Myrtle Beach – I discovered 3 triangle UFOs high resolution photos that I don’t remember taking. In the phone details, it says that I took it through my camera at 8:02 pm on March 27th, 2017. I don’t even know where this church is. My wife and son were at a function that night but we cannot account for where I was. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Triangle
Atoy— I left a friend’s house, headed home, driving the same route I always drive at about 2ish in the morning on June 1, 2017. Not driving fast the sky flashed blue as if lightning flashed but there were no clouds. There was no moon and very little light pollution except for my headlights. What was odd about the light/flash was that it was bluish in color and seemed to flash over the top of my truck. The only thing I can equate it to is when someone is welding, the light that it gives off is not like a lightning flash or other sorts of light fixtures. It flashed for about 3 or 4 flashes, fast but long enough to look up and still see it going on through the windshield. This light lit up the whole sky, like I said, like lightning would have. There was no sound like a rumble of thunder that should have followed if it had been lightning. As I looked up, it moved from the rearview mirror to the steering wheel and disappeared over the trees southwest. It did not move fast, about 30 mph or so. It was triangle shaped on an acute triangle, there were about 6 or 7 lights on my side of the object, The lights lit it just enough to see the object was a dark color but flat colored. The object could have been the shape of a stealth fighter but seemed thicker and longer. It seemed thin as it flew over the road ahead of me. It was 100 yards above me and disappeared about 125 yards in front of me. I was traveling south along F.M. 1210 towards Atoy. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Port Orchard— Working on Pasture fence on my farm on July 23, 2017, I didn’t notice it at the time.
Only after I looked at the game camera footage did I notice it. Perhaps it was a large bird.
We do have Eagles and Canadian geese in the area. It was circular shape and possibly metallic silver. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Argentina Orb
Ensenada — I tell you that I was in a park with my daughter taking pictures on August 21, 2017, when it occurred to me to take one in the sun seeing that it looked bigger than usual. I didn’t remember it was eclipse of the sun day. When I look at my encounter with the orb that I could only see in the photo or through the camera not to the naked eye, I have serious doubts that it is not the reflection of the camera or the lens. During the days prior to this I always looked towards that same direction as if expecting something. The curious thing is that this same phenomenon happened on August 19, 2017, two days before, I do not know if it disappeared and then I went home without being sure that it is a UFO. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Canada Sphere
Scarborough, Ontario — On Friday, September 1, 2017, I took this series of photographs.
We had a ‘prelude ‘ to the CNE’s Air show at around 1:09 pm today

Hawaii Red Marks
Kekaha Kauai– I was worried about the red marks that my dad noticed when we are in the living room. He looked at it and wiped with alcohol because he thought it was only a stain from my bed or from my shirt, the alcohol did not remove the marks. What should I do?
Response to Investigator Questions: I live here in the USA in state of Hawaii. We noticed the marks on August 30th, 2017. I don’t have exact time, but my dad noticed it around 7 PM. The night before I got the mark I had two dreams, but I can’t remember them. I was really tired after work and fell asleep around 5 PM naked. I woke up and went into the living room with my parents. I was sitting in the living room and my dad noticed something on my back. I told him maybe it was just dirt. I was so irritated at my dad when he kept telling me about it so I went inside the bathroom and saw this red mark in my back. We took alcohol and cotton to try to wipe it out, but I couldn’t get it out. I know that it’s not a regular mark because it should be fading already. I gave my mom an ice cube and she rubbed it on my back… Ice, alcohol, water couldn’t remove the mark and I have no symptoms and it’s not itchy. I’m got stressed thinking about where I got the red marks, There are similar patterns of articles and pictures on the web. Missiles were launched at around 1 AM that night and I live close by to the base.
Note: I have received several reports of similar “red marks in grid pattern” in the last year few years. The cause of these marks has not yet been determined. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com
Mexico Orbs
During our stay in Mexico City my girlfriend and I visited the Templo Mayor Site and museum. We did not see anything strange that day in the skies of Mexico City. When we returned home from our vacation I downloaded from my girlfriend’s I-phone pictures from that day had white orbs in the sky. This photo was taken by her from inside the Templo Mayor museum. The photo captures glowing disc shaped and orb like objects and a non-glowing disc shaped object hovering above Mexico City. If the picture is magnified you can see the non-glowing dark/grayish disc shaped object. The glowing object between the domes of the cathedral seems to be to far away to be a reflection of a light from within the museum. The non-glowing disc shaped object does seem to be neither a reflection nor dirt. What are they? Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Zealand Object
I took this picture with my IR camera in the early morning hours on September 3, 2017. I don’t know what it is, but that pic shows what might be a UFO, with a blue orb next to it. Can someone please tell me what this is? If that’s a blue UFO next to it, then the ufo might be 10 meters across. Then it roughly shows the size of it. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Thailand Light
Bangkok — I was stuck in traffic and since I like watching the sky at Twilight time I saw the light that I thought was a Northern star. I drive home in that direction every day, and never see a single star.
Then I saw it so bright but not moving. It’s also the brightest star I’ve ever seen. I was screaming in my car with shock and happiness. I’m just about to grab my camera and then it disappeared, right in front of my eyes. Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK/Wales Light
Barmouth — Standing on our caravan holiday plot in Talybont, when myself and 3 friends noticed 4 ‘puffy’ like clouds directly in front of us over the sea. My friend’s and I took photos on our camera phones. When checking the photos we noticed the orb quickly and took other photos. The orb was only visible when looking through the camera phone, not with the naked eye. The orb moved in fast upward and downward movements on the phone. A third friend took photos but no orb was visible. We thought it could have been a trick of the light as we were shooting into the sun. After approx 10 minutes we forgot about the orb so don’t know when or if it disappeared. My friend phoned me tonight to say that orbs had been seen over Dyffryn which is a very short walk away. It was very exciting reading the reports on the internet of these sightings and felt I would like to report ours. Thanks to MUFON CMS

A video uploaded to popular conspiracy channel, SecureTeam10, on YouTube shows the strange disc which was unearthed by the Russian miners.
The team, who were part of the Kuzbassrazrezugol mining company, were mining in the remote region of Volgograd when they found the ‘UFOs’ some 40 metres underground.
The disc is around 1.2 metres in diameter and weighs roughly 440 lbs – or 31 stone.
The narrator of the video claims that the object was “found to have been coated in a metal known as tungsten … this is a metal that has typically been used in technology that belongs to the military”
“Tungsten has one of the highest melting points and is commonly used in things that are put up in space due to the fact that they can withstand the extremely high temperatures that occur when an object enters the atmosphere.”
The narrator of the video says that theories are spreading that “these objects actually hold the remains of extra-terrestrial beings.
“They obviously look artificial, they’re all in the shape of a flying saucer … not to mention the fact they were found deep underground in a mine.”
YOUTUBE
The 'UFO' is 1.2 metres in diameter
Excavator Boris Glazkov, who found the object, said: "I have to say it wasn't hard to see as it was really distinctive and large.
"I've never seen anything like this object, which is obviously man-made, out here in the middle of nowhere before. It is a real mystery.”
His colleague, Arthur Presnyakov, added: "There were actually two similar objects, but the first one broke as it was being pulled out of the ground by the excavator bucket.
YOUTUBE
“They obviously look artificial, they’re all in the shape of a flying saucer"
"We thought we saw something sure, because it broke into pieces, but then when the second one appeared we stopped work and carefully removed it from the bucket.”
However, commenters on the video were not as convinced.
One person wrote: “Looks like a type of a mill stone.”
Another said: “How could anyone possibly think that is a UFO just because they are saucer shaped.”

UFO that ‘lit up like a bolt of lightning’ SPOTTED during camping trip in Yorkshire
UFO that ‘lit up like a bolt of lightning’ SPOTTED during camping trip in Yorkshire
A COUPLE of friends claim to have been mesmerised by a mysterious UFO that was as bright as a "bolt of lightening”, while camping in the Yorkshire Dales.
The object reportedly changed colour from white to orange
Trent Mason, 22, and Jack Holdsworth, 21, were stargazing when they reportedly saw an eerie object change colour and move around the sky for more than two hours.
They were said to be shocked as the object made circular and triangular patterns in the sky and changed colour from white to orange.
The two friends were camping near to the Ribblehead railway viaduct when they claim the object appeared.
Mr Mason said: "It just popped up on the horizon, then disappeared back where it came from. I was not sure if I saw it but looked at Jack and his face was white
"It was there one minute, then next it lit up like a bolt of lightening. It was like a flash and whoosh, it was gone. If I'd blinked I would have missed it.
"It was absolutely incredible. The stars were dots in the night sky and this was the size of a 5p. It was hard to judge how far away it was but it was definitely higher than the hills."
CASCADE NEWS
The friends were camping near to the Ribblehead railway viaduct when they claim the object appeared
The Yorkshire Dales area is said to attract thousands of hikers every year.
Yorkshire based UFO researcher Philip Mantle, a former director of investigations for the British UFO Research Association, said: "For decades now UFO sighting reports have come across my desk from areas in and around the Yorkshire Dales national park and surrounding areas.
“It therefore comes as no surprise to learn of the sighting by Mr Mason and Mr Holdsworth over the world famous Ribblehead viaduct.
"Over the last few years UFO sighting reports in this area have been few and far between, however, for whatever reason, 2017 has seen a sharp upturn in reports in this area.
"Why this is, I have no idea, but the sighting reported by these two gentlemen fits with other sightings I have had from this general area in the past."
For those who like to drive, nothing is quite as inviting as a freshly-applied (and dried) blacktopped road. Do space travelers feel the same way about a completely black planet that is dark enough to disappear and absorbs everything its nearby star shines at it? What fresh hole in space is this? Has an alien civilization invented a planetary cloaking device?
The discovery of the lack of light on the dark exoplanet was announced this week by NASA and the European Space Agency. The obsidian orb is WASP-12b and it was actually discovered in 2008 orbiting WASP-12, a magnitude 11 yellow dwarf star located approximately 1400 light-years away in the constellation Auriga. While WASP-12 is about the size of our Sun, WASP-12b is what NASA calls a “hot Jupiter,” which sounds like an astronaut exclamation (Hot Jupiter, Spock! Who cares if she’s green … she’s gorgeous!”) but is slang for a large (in this case, twice the diameter of our Jupiter), hot, gaseous planet (also called a roaster planet) with a quick orbit – WASP-12b makes its circuit in just 10 days. That makes it so incredibly hot (2600 degrees Celsius on its daylight side) that its star’s pull is able to mold the exoplanet into an egg shape.
Astronomers discover dark past of planet-eating 'Death Star'
An artist’s impression of WASP-12b (NASA)
Astronomers from McGill University, Canada and the University of Exeter, UK, used the Hubble space telescope to observe WASP-12b during an eclipse (theirs, not ours) when it passed behind its sun. Taylor Bell, a Master’s student in astronomy at McGill University and lead author of the report, explains what they saw:
“The measured albedo of WASP-12b is 0.064 at most. This is an extremely low value, making the planet darker than fresh asphalt!”
Hot Jupiter, Taylor! What’s an albedo?
Latin for “whiteness,” albedo is a measurement of reflection. While other colder exoplanets have low albedos due to clouds or surface alkali metals, WASP-12b’s extreme heat means it has neither of these. Its super-low albedo is caused by its super-hot temperature which breaks down its hydrogen molecules into hydrogen atoms, allowing WASP-12b to reflect almost no light – it eats 94% of it. This gives this hot Jupiter a dark red hue, contrasting it to another hot Jupiter, HD 189733b, which has a higher albedo, making it deep blue and causing astronomer Bell to wax philosophically:
“The fact that the first two exoplanets with measured spectral albedo exhibit significant differences demonstrates the importance of these types of spectral observations and highlights the great diversity among hot Jupiters.”
An artist’s impression of a normal hot Jupiter
Does that dark color make WASP-12b an attractive asphalt roadish planet just begging for a landing? Would the first crew to touch down paint white stripes or parking lot lines? Would that make the residents on the cooler side yell “Hot Jupiter! Why didn’t we think of that!”
At 1400 light years away, we’ll probably never know.
The topic of Unidentified Flying Objects is one that’s currently gripping the attention of many, so much so that it looks like the United States will be releasing some of its UFO files in the near future, according to longtime White House insiderJohn Podesta, Hillary Clinton, and several other sources from where the ‘official’ announcement will most likely come. Although it’s hard to expect any sort of full truth about this topic to be fully disclosed in the mainstream, ‘official’ files from several different governments and intelligence agencies from around the world already confirm the existence of UFOs (links below), so don’t get your hopes up for any type of new information that another country hasn’t already disclosed, but who knows?
You can read more about ‘official government disclosure’ and what we have to be cautious of i it does ever happen in an article published earlier this month, here.
It’s interesting that this topic is getting so much attention right now in the mainstream, especially with Hillary Clinton making her comments about it as of late (article on that linked above). That being said, as mentioned above, it’s important to recognize that we’ve been ‘bamboozled’ by the government and corporate media for so long, with so many different examples ranging from the war on terror to the war on drugs, that it’s hard to expect any type of honest revelation about what’s really going on. For anybody who has researched the topic of UFOs in depth, it’s quite clear that this issue goes well beyond government parameters. It appears, to me at least, that politicians are simply told what to say on most topics; they too have ‘bosses’ and those they take instruction from. So, keep that in mind when the government decides to disclose the ‘truth.’
This thing has gotten so highly-classified… it is just impossible to get anything on it. I have no idea who controls the flow of need-to-know because, frankly, I was told in such an emphatic way that it was none of my business that I’ve never tried to make it to be my business since. I have been interested in this subject for a long time and I do know that whatever the Air Force has on the subject is going to remain highly classified.
– Senator Barry Goldwater, Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee (source)(source)
Although the files (of which there are thousands) that have been made available for public viewing d0 contain some eye-opening details, most notably objects of unknown origin performing maneuvers and travelling at speeds no known aircraft can, they contain no hard evidence that states the objects are extraterrestrial in origin, but, there is, as former NASA astronaut and Princeton Physics Professor Brian O’leary puts it, “abundant evidence that we are being contacted, that civilizations have been visiting us for a very long time.” (source)
If you’d like to see some of these files, you can read THIS article—it’s heavily sourced and includes a number of examples of what happens when the military tracks a UFO on radar. Yes, the military tracks UFOs on radar, and the objects are also confirmed by the pilots who are sent to take a closer look. Official pictures have also been released; here’s one of many examples in Canada. Not only are they tracked on radar, but they disrupt critical instrumentation and communications within our military jets.
Dr. Jacques Vallee, notable for co-developing the first computerized mapping of Mars for NASA, and for his work at SRI International on the network information centre for ARPANET, a precursor to the modern Internet, also published a paper in the Journal of Scientific Explorationtitled “Estimates of Optical Power Output in Six Cases Of Unexplained Ariel Objects With Defined Luminosity Characteristics.” (source)(source) This also details other phenomenon associated with this craft.
Behind the scenes, high ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense.
What’s the point? The point is that UFOs have been confirmed as real by these previously classified files, as well as by hundreds of military personnel of every rank over the past few years. Some of the cases described in these files are truly amazing, and now that thousands of them have been officially declassified, the people involved in these incidents have no more fear of coming forward and sharing their stories.
For a quick 10 minute summary video to get you up to speed on the topic, you can watch THIS clip taken from a Citizen Hearing on Disclosure, given in front of several former U.S. congresspeople, by people from within the military realms, political realms, and the world of academia.
Before going into the story below, it’s important for readers to recognize the ‘seriousness’ of this issue and the concerns that people are having, and have had for years.
One of these people is a now retired Navy commander pilot Graham Bethune who held a top-secret clearance. He was a VIP Plane Commander who flew most of the high-ranking officers and civilians from Washington, DC. In his testimony below, he explains how he was flying a group of VIPs and other pilots into Argentina, Newfoundland, when every single person on the plane witnessed a 300 foot object that traveled 10,000 feet straight up in a fraction of a second toward their plane. As you can see from the video below, he has documented the event extensively.
Below are some very interesting quotes taken from the interview. The interview was conducted by Dr. Steven Greer, founder of the Disclosure Project, which has interviewed hundreds of military personnel of all ranks.
To access the official files pertaining to this particular case, you can visit the government’s ‘Project Bluebook’ files to read them. You can find those links and the files for this case at the National Investigations Committee On Aerial Phenomenon.
And I was flying at that time, Admiral McCormick who had relieved Eisenhower. Admiral McCormick was the NATO commander…(15:44) There was quite a few that knew about this so this is where I learned a lot that really was not official.
I do know that we did bring some of the craft back from Germany after World War II.
Then we knew that it was a friendly encounter, we knew it knew we were there, we knew it came out to see us. We watched it for a while.
Since then I’ve learned from the boys upstairs why we saw different colours as it was coming toward us. The colours were around the perimeter. And it turned from a yellow to an orange to almost a fiery red and then almost a purplish-red. And they said that that had to do with the amount of energy being used or dissipated. It had to do with the UFO power settings. When it slowed down, close to us, in a fraction of a second, it was back to the yellow range. And it was foggy around it or a plasma mist.
On the flight line where we parked our plane, most of the time, we weren’t too far from what looked like a hangar. Every time my boss and I went by there, he could not understand why I was not interested in going and looking at what was behind the metal wall…And he told basically that they had a craft back there and he told me basically that they did have bodies there…
The last quote you see above the video is one example of why the extraterrestrial hypothesis as an explanation for some of these UFOs existing. Sure, we have files that basically confirm the existence of UFOs, but the extraterrestrial part comes from stories like this one. Another example is former Canadian Defence Minister Paul Hellyer, who told the world that visitors from other planets have been coming here for years, and that global militaries are aware of this (source).
The 6th man to walk on the Moon, the late Dr. Edgar Mitchell, told us that “yes there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered” and that he happens to be “privileged enough to be in on the fact that we have been visited on this planet, and the UFO phenomenon is real.”
The list literally goes on and on of why the extraterrestrial hypothesis exists, another great example comes from a school in Zimbabwe, where more than 60 school children witnessed a large craft landing and intelligent humanoids around it. You can read more details about that case here.
The evidence to examine the UFO topic, and the extraterrestrial hypothesis, is huge, and would take thousands of pages to present.
Intelligent beings from other star systems have been and are visiting our planet Earth. They are variously referred to as Visitors, Others, Star People, ETs, etc…They are visiting Earth NOW; this is not a matter of conjecture or wistful thinking.
– Theodor C. Loder III, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Earth Sciences, University of New Hampshire (source)
Again, to access the official files pertaining to this particular case, you can visit the government’s ‘Project Bluebook’ files to read them. You can find those links and the files for this case at the National Investigations Committee On Aerial Phenomenon.
This is a topic that will leave no aspect of humanity untouched. From science, history to technology and consciousness. This is a major paradigm shift moment for our species, and it’s only a matter of time.
Vips zien 100 meter grote UFO die in een oogwenk 3000 meter aflegt. Deze marinecommandant was erbij
Vips zien 100 meter grote UFO die in een oogwenk 3000 meter aflegt. Deze marinecommandant was erbij
Graham Bethune is een gepensioneerde marinecommandant die toegang had tot topgeheime informatie.
Het was zijn taak om hooggeplaatste legerfunctionarissen vanuit Washington D.C. naar andere legerbases te vliegen.
Fractie van een seconde
In onderstaande video vertelt Bethune dat hij op een dag een groep vips en andere piloten naar Argentia op het eiland Newfoundland bracht, toen iedereen aan boord plotseling een UFO van 100 meter zag die in een fractie van een seconde meer dan 3000 meter omhoog schoot in de richting van het vliegtuig.
Bethune heeft het voorval uitvoerig gedocumenteerd. Het onbekende vliegende object was voorzien van een koepel met daaromheen een gele waas.
De marinecommandant zei over het voorval:
Ik vloog op dat moment admiraal McCormick, die Eisenhower had vervangen. Admiraal McCormick was de NAVO-commandant.
Goede bedoelingen
Velen van ons wisten hiervan en ik kreeg veel informatie die niet naar buiten werd gebracht. Ik weet dat we een aantal vaartuigen na de Tweede Wereldoorlog uit Duitsland hebben meegenomen.
We wisten dat de inzittenden goede bedoelingen hadden, we wisten dat zij wisten dat wij er waren, we wisten dat het ons in de gaten hield.
Nadien kreeg ik van de hoge bazen te horen waarom we verschillende kleuren zagen terwijl het vaartuig op ons afkwam. Het object was eerst geel en daarna oranje, rood en vervolgens paars.
Energie
Ze zeiden dat dat te maken had met de hoeveelheid energie die werd gebruikt. Het had te maken met de energie-instellingen van de UFO.
Toen het vlak bij ons in een fractie van een seconde afremde was het weer geel. Rond het object was een mistige plasma te zien.
Niet ver van de plek waar wij ons vliegtuig parkeerden stond iets wat op een hangar leek.
Lichamen
Iedere keer dat mijn baas en ik er langs kwamen snapte hij maar niet waarom ik niet wilde weten wat er achter die metalen muur verborgen lag.
Hij zei dat ze daar een schip hadden en dat ze daar ook lichamen bewaarden.
Op diverse plaatsen zijn er de afgelopen tijd weer vreemde objecten waargenomen, waaronder een zwerm van ongeveer 50 onbekende objecten boven Rotterdam.
Verder is er een wel heel spectaculaire opname gemaakt van een formatie van vijf UFO's die verschenen boven de Amerikaanse staat Florida ten tijde van de ramp met orkaan Irma.
Omstreeks 22.00 was ik uit het raam aan het kijken naar de maan die vrij laag stond en een mooie kleur had. Ineens naast de maan uit het niets verschenen 3 felle rode lichtbollen in een driehoek formatie. Ik pakte mijn telefoon en filmde en maakte een paar foto, s van het verschijnsel. Toen ik even stopte met filmen en op balkon ging staan verschenen er wel ongeveer 50 rode lichtbollen.
De objecten waren vrij hoog in de lucht en fel van rode kleur. Ze gingen aan en uit en verwisselde van positie maar ook hingen ze vrij stil. Alle rode bollen hadden dezelfde felheid van licht. Na ongeveer 10 minuten bewogen ze zich richting Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel. Ik heb dit nog nooit eerder gezien. Ben benieuwd of iemand weet wat dit verschijnsel is.
Afgelopen maandag veroorzaakte de orkaan Irma de nodige schade in de Amerikaanse staat Florida. En zoals je wel vaker ziet bij rampen zoals aardbevingen of vulkaanuitbarstingen duiken er UFO's op.
Zo ook in Florida waar een prachtige opname werd gemaakt van een kleine formatie UFO's die zich geluidloos door de lucht voortbewogen.
Aan de commentaren is te horen dat de getuigen erg onder de indruk zijn van wat ze in de lucht zien.
Vraag is dan natuurlijk of we hier te maken hebben met nieuwsgierige buitenaardsen of objecten van de geheime ruimtevloot die komen opnemen hoeveel schade de door hen gemaakte orkaan heeft veroorzaakt.
En vervolgens gaan we weer terug naar Nederland waar een onbekende dame op een voor ons onbekende locatie iedere keer weer opnieuw UFO's weet vast te leggen.
Het is voor ons een raadsel hoe ze dit iedere keer voor elkaar krijgt. De opnames lijken echt, dus wie weet heeft zij wel een speciaal contact met buitenaardsen.
Mochten er mensen zijn die hier meer over weten dan horen we het graag.
The five 1,700 year-old mummies are more reptilian than human. New images of the "alien mummies" were unveiled during a press conference called "The mummies of Nazca" in Peru by Mexican ufologist and journalist Jamie Maussan.
This included X-rays of the mummified remains so Maussan could banish claims that they were fake or made of plaster.
Maussan alleges that of the five bodies discovered, three of them had "characteristics that are closer to reptiles than humans."
If their findings are correct than this is yet another astonishing discovery with the potential to completely alter our shared view of history.
Secret UFO Society: Why Footage is A Proof of Alien Existence
Secret UFO Society: Why Footage is A Proof of Alien Existence
Seeing a real-life Alien is an experience you are unlikely ever to forget. In fact, it can even change one’s life. The bizarre footage shows a mysterious light hovering over the sky of Sydney, Australia. UFO & Paranormal Research Society of Australia is a secret agency that regularly meets to discuss the likes of UFO sightings, alien abductions, and other bizarre phenomena. Once a month, the group is hosted by guest speakers at the Campbelltown Arts Centre. While the members are made up of students, lawyers, and retirees, they all believed that the truth is out there.
With aliens now fully credited due to the many sightings, the real danger for the government is they pick up a clear signal. According to the secret society, instead of having to pull over their eyes by the government, humans have to know what’s going on in this world. Pilots and astronauts are now coming out of the woodworks. According to the Sydney public servant, she has been visited by aliens since nine-years-old. Even though former lawyer Moira believes in the existence of extraterrestrial life, she still admits that a proof for many extraterrestrials hard to prove.
In her book, she explains that those who are abducted by aliens are frequently chosen for their intellectual capacities. The UFO enthusiast revealed the countless reports from people about aliens and men in black with an oriental appearance. He emphasized that they need to believe that anything is possible, but they also retain a big dose of skepticism due to the lack of evidence. As a precaution against this possibility, the government pressured the community into agreements that strange objects would have to undergo prolonged scrutiny by the agencies before it could be announced to the world. Despite certain precautions, the government cannot hinder the people from presenting evidence or sharing stories.
The UFO Mystery Revelation: Astronaut Breaks With Conclusive Proof
The UFO Mystery Revelation: Astronaut Breaks With Conclusive Proof
Unidentified Flying Object has always been the most debatable subject owing to its lack of judgment. While people relate them to aliens, it does not necessarily mean extraterrestrial invasion or visitation. It simply means any type or kind of object that is not readily identifiable. For the first time, a former NASA astronaut has publicly spoken about the world’s infamous cases that took place 20 years ago, saying he has a conclusive proof to resolve the mysteries. Tom Jones is a veteran of 11 years in four space shuttle missions. Before he joined the US space agency, he pondered on alien mystery saying that he can solve such 1996 UFO Tether occurrences.
The encounter involves a satellite breaking off. This satellite was believed to be tethered to the space shuttle. When the astronauts later filmed the incident, it shows hundreds of aliens appearing like organisms in a sea. Despite his evidence, conspiracy theorists are still unsatisfied with his conclusive proof. In an interview with the Smithsonian Air and Space Magazine, the discussion was about the old question about whether or not he or the astronauts has been a real alien vessel during their visitation in orbit.
Conspiracy theorists believe that there are proofs seen by NASA personnel and astronauts. In fact, there are those that blown the whistle. For those who opened spoken is Mr. Mitchell, but his testimony does not convince Jones. According to him, astronauts do not have alien proof. The reports have turned out to be pure ice crystals, lightning flashes, drifting orbital debris, or meteors streaking on the dark atmosphere underneath. It has been held that their search for extraterrestrial existence and some other civilizations ended up the proofs of alien civilizations. Many people think that aliens were a threat to the Earth, but this has not been proven at all.
Het zou zomaar kunnen, nu blijkt dat de Marskorst een veel lagere dichtheid heeft dan werd aangenomen.
Nieuw onderzoek suggereert dat de korst van Mars een gemiddelde dichtheid heeft van 2582 kilogram per kubieke meter. Daarmee is de Marskorst qua dichtheid vergelijkbaar met de korst van de maan. En dat is een verrassing. Onderzoekers dachten namelijk altijd dat de Marskorst een dichtheid had die minstens net zo groot was als die van de aarde (2900 kilogram per kubieke meter).
Het suggereert dat de Marskorst in ieder geval deels relatief poreus is. Een alternatieve optie is dat de Marskorst een andere samenstelling heeft dan gedacht of veel dunner is dan werd aangenomen. Hoe dan ook: de Marskorst verrast. En dat kan implicaties hebben voor het beeld dat we momenteel van de evolutie van de rode planeet hebben. “De korst is het eindresultaat van alles wat tijdens de geschiedenis van een planeet is gebeurd,” legt onderzoeker Sander Goossens uit. “Dus een lagere dichtheid kan belangrijke implicaties hebben voor de totstandkoming en evolutie van Mars.”
De onderzoekers hebben deze kaart vrijgegeven, die de verschillen in de dichtheid van de Marskorst aanduidt. Overigens wijst het feit dat de gemiddelde dichtheid van de planeet lager uitvalt dan gedacht, erop dat de verschillen van plek tot plek niet zo groot zijn als werd aangenomen. Dus het verschil tussen de gebieden met een dikke korst (rood op deze kaart) en een dunnere korst (blauw) is kleiner dan gedacht. Op deze afbeelding kijken we recht op het enorme klovensysteem Valles Marineris. Links – waar de rode vlek te zien is – treffen we Tharsis Montes aan. Dit is een vulkanisch plateau. Onder vulkanen is de dichtheid van de Marskorst groter.
Afbeelding: NASA / Goddard / UMBC / MIT / E. Mazarico.
De onderzoekers trekken hun conclusies op basis van een model. Daarbij lieten ze zich leiden door zwaartekrachtsmetingen die Marsorbiters door de jaren heen hebben gedaan. Of het model van Goossens en collega’s ook daadwerkelijk een goed beeld geeft van de Marskorst kan al op korte termijn duidelijk worden. Naar verwachting kan de Marslander InSight ons daar namelijk veel meer over vertellen. De lander wordt volgend jaar gelanceerd en zal op het oppervlak van Mars metingen verrichten die niet alleen meer inzicht kunnen geven in de korst van Mars, maar tevens kunnen onthullen hoe het binnenste van de planeet in elkaar steekt.

Dit zijn de allerlaatste foto's van Cassini [update]
Tim Kraaijvanger
OP 15 september eindigde de Cassini-missie. Het ruimtevaartuig verbrandde net na het middaguur in de atmosfeer van de atmosfeer van de ringenplaneet. De allerlaatste foto’s kun je hier zien.
Naar verwachting gaat het contact om 12.31 uur verloren. De laatste kreet van de ruimtesonde zal zo’n 83 minuten later op aarde arriveren. “Het laatste signaal van de sonde is als een echo,” legt projectmanager Earl Maize uit. “Het zal bijna anderhalf uur nadat Cassini al weg is door het zonnestelsel galmen. Hoewel we weten dat het lot van Cassini dan al beslist is, is de missie hier op aarde nog niet over zolang we nog een signaal van Cassini ontvangen.” Gisteren schreef Caroline een uitgebreid artikel over de laatste dag van Cassini.
Cassini duikt met een snelheid van 113.00 kilometer per uur in de atmosfeer van Saturnus. Dertig seconden nadat Cassini het contact met de aarde verbreekt, spat de sonde – door de enorme wrijving die deze in de atmosfeer ondervindt – uiteen. Kort daarna verbrandt het ruimtevaartuig en is er dus helemaal niets meer over.
Vandaag ontvangen wetenschappers nog veel foto’s van Cassini. Wij plaatsen hieronder de mooiste beelden. Dit artikel wordt in de loop van de dag verder uitgebreid. Je kunt ook de site van NASA bezoeken en de laatste vrijgegeven beelden bekijken.
De maan Enceladus in beeld. Deze foto is 13 september gemaakt en gisteren gearriveerd.
Een ruwe foto van Titan. Woensdagmiddag gemaakt en deze kwam gisteravond binnen op aarde.
Foto van de ringen van Saturnus. Dit is een onbewerkte foto, die gistermiddag is gemaakt. Vanochtend om 5:26 uur kwam de foto binnen bij het Cassini-team.
Foto van de ringen van Saturnus. Vanochtend gedownload om 8:06 uur Nederlandse tijd. Deze foto is gisteravond door Cassini gemaakt.
Nog eentje van de ringen.
Een foto van de atmosfeer van Saturnus. Ook deze foto is gisteravond gemaakt. Er is helaas niet veel te zien.
Dit is de allerlaatste foto die gemaakt is met de camera’s op de Cassini-ruimtesonde. We zien hier de nachtkant van de planeet. Het weerkaatste licht van de ringen is nog goed te zien. De foto is gemaakt op 14 september om 22:00 uur Nederlandse tijd. Op dat moment was Cassini 634.000 kilometer van Saturnus verwijderd.
Op deze foto is te zien waar Cassini is verbrand in de atmosfeer van Saturnus.
NASA legt laatste hand aan Marslander die kijkje in de rode planeet gaat nemen

Volgend jaar mei moet Marslander InSight het luchtruim kiezen.
De afgelopen zomer is er hard aan de lander gewerkt, zo laat NASA weten. En inmiddels is deze bijna klaar voor lancering. “De lander is af en de instrumenten zijn erop gemaakt,” vertelt Stu Spath, namens NASA. Dat betekent dat de lander nu uitgebreid getest kan gaan worden: de laatste grote hindernis alvorens deze gelanceerd wordt.
GEDULD
InSight heeft ons geduld aardig op de proef gesteld. Oorspronkelijk zou de lander vorig jaar al gelanceerd worden, maar problemen met de seismometer gooiden roet in het eten. Die problemen zijn nu opgelost, zo verzekert NASA. Maar dat heeft wel tijd gekost. En een hoop geld. Zo moest er meer dan 153 miljoen dollar extra in de missie worden gestopt.
Mei 2018 Enige haast was ook wel geboden. Want de lanceerdatum komt steeds dichterbij. NASA wil de lander ergens in mei naar Mars sturen. De lander zal daar dan eind november 2018 arriveren.
De missie Onderzoekers hebben hoge verwachtingen van de lander, die iets compleets nieuws gaat doen op Mars. Zo is de lander uitgerust met sensoren die straks in Mars gehamerd zullen worden, om vervolgens op drie meter diepte of meer onderzoek te doen naar de hoeveelheid energie die uit het binnenste van de planeet komt. Ook beschikt de lander over een seismometer die zelfs piepkleine ‘Marsbevingen’ kan detecteren en meer kan onthullen over de binnenste lagen van de planeet. Daarnaast moet de sonde ook verstoringen in de rotatie van de rode planeet kunnen opvangen en zo meer kunnen vertellen over de omvang van de kern van Mars.
Binnen enkele weken na de landing op Mars zal InSight zijn robotarm gebruiken om twee instrumenten op de rode planeet te plaatsen: de siesmometer en een warmtesonde die zichzelf vervolgens in de rode planeet zal hameren.

Het werk van InSight geeft niet alleen meer inzicht in Mars, maar in alle rotsachtige planeten die ons zonnestelsel rijk is, zo denkt hoofdonderzoeker Bruce Banerdt. “Omdat het binnenste van Mars in de afgelopen drie miljard jaar veel minder omgeroerd is dan dat van de aarde, is bewijs omtrent de kindertijd van rotsachtige planeten in deze planeet wellicht beter bewaard gebleven.”

En dat geldt dus ook voor de drie exemplaren in de leefbare zone.
Eerder dit jaar maakten onderzoekers bekend dat rond de ster TRAPPIST-1 maar liefst zeven planeten ter grootte van de aarde cirkelen. Een unieke vondst: we kennen namelijk geen enkele andere ster die zoveel aardachtige planeten herbergt. De ontdekking spreekt enorm tot de verbeelding. Onder meer omdat maar liefst drie van de planeten zich in de leefbare zone bevinden. Er wordt direct druk gespeculeerd over de leefbaarheid van dit systeem en sommige onderzoekers fantaseren zelfs al over aliens die van de ene naar de andere TRAPPIST-1-planeet ‘hoppen’.
Hubble Maar is er daadwerkelijk leven mogelijk in dit systeem? Ook daar is al veel over gezegd en geschreven. En nu doet ook ruimtetelescoop Hubble een duit in het zakje. Met behulp van de telescoop gingen wetenschappers na hoeveel ultraviolette straling elke planeet rond TRAPPIST-1 ontvangt. “Ultraviolette straling is een belangrijke factor in de atmosferische evolutie van planeten,” vertelt onderzoeker Vincent Bourrier. “Net als in onze eigen atmosfeer – waar ultraviolet zonlicht moleculen splitst – kan ultraviolet sterrenlicht waterdamp in de atmosfeer van exoplaneten splitsen in waterstof en zuurstof.” Energierijkere ultraviolette straling kan bovendien de bovenste laag van de atmosfeer van een planeet verwarmen, waardoor de resulterende waterstof en zuurstof uit die atmosfeer kan ontsnappen.
WAT IS EEN LEEFBARE ZONE?
Een planeet bevindt zich in de leefbare zone als deze niet zo dicht bij zijn ster staat dat eventueel water op het oppervlak verdampt, maar ook niet zo ver van de moederster verwijderd is dat eventueel water op het oppervlak bevriest.
Leefbaar Waarnemingen met Hubble suggereren dat met name de binnenste planeten van het systeem aan flinke hoeveelheden UV-straling zijn blootgesteld en door de tijd heen waarschijnlijk ook gigantische hoeveelheden water zijn kwijtgeraakt. Over een periode van acht miljard jaar mogelijk meer dan twintig keer meer water dan in de aardse oceanen zit. Anders is dat voor de buitenste planeten, waaronder TRAPPIST-1e, -f en -g, die zich in de leefbare zone bevinden. De Hubble-waarnemingen suggereren dat zij veel minder water zijn kwijtgeraakt en dat op het oppervalk mogelijk nog water te vinden is.
Of deze planeten echt nog water herbergen, is met de huidige telescopen helaas niet vast te stellen. Daarvoor zullen we een beroep moeten doen op de volgende generatie telescopen, zoals de James Webb.
Zo gaan de laatste dagen van ruimtesonde Cassini eruit zien

NASA onthult draaiboek voor Cassini’s kamikazeduik in de atmosfeer van de onvergeeflijke Saturnus.
Bijna twintig jaar nadat Cassini – een missie van NASA, ESA en de Italiaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie – gelanceerd werd, zit het erop. De sonde stopt ermee. En nee, Cassini gaat niet rustig met pensioen, maar eindigt met een klapper: een duik in de atmosfeer van Saturnus. De doodsduik levert mogelijk – op de valreep – nog waardevolle informatie op, maar is vooral bedoeld om te voorkomen dat de manen van Saturnus hun ongerepte karakter verliezen (zie kader).
NASA heeft er heel bewust voor gekozen om de Cassini-missie met een duik in Saturnus’ atmosfeer te laten eindigen. De ruimtevaartorganisatie wil zo voorkomen dat de sonde stuurloos in het Saturnus-systeem gaat ronddolen en neerstort op één van Saturnus’ potentieel leefbare manen. “Zo blijven zij ongerept voor toekomstige verkenning,” aldus projectmanager Earl Maize.
Het draaiboek De laatste dagen van deze fantastische missie zijn dus aangebroken. Maar hoe zien ze er precies uit? NASA doet dat nu uit de doeken. Op 9 september zal de sonde voor de laatste keer in het gat tussen Saturnus en zijn ringen duiken. De sonde passeert de wolkentoppen van de gasreus tijdens deze snoekduik op een afstand van zo’n 1680 kilometer. Twee dagen later, op 11 september, zal Cassini een scheervlucht maken langs Saturnus’ maan Titan. Hoewel de ruimtesonde de maan op een afstand van een slordige 119.000 kilometer passeert, zal de zwaartekracht van Titan er toch voor zorgen dat Cassini iets wordt afgeremd (hierdoor zal Cassini een paar dagen later diep in de atmosfeer van Saturnus duiken). Op 14 september werpt Cassini dan een laatste blik op Saturnus en zijn manen. Het resulteert in foto’s van de manen Titan, Enceladus, de zeshoekige straalstroom op de noordpool van de planeet en de ringen. Een dag later, op 15 september, is het dan toch echt tijd voor de duik in Saturnus’ atmosfeer. Terwijl Cassini in die atmosfeer duikt, blijven de instrumenten aan boord van de sonde zo lang mogelijk data verzamelen en zolang het Cassini lukt om de antenne op de aarde gericht te houden, zal die data ook naar de aarde verstuurd worden. Heel lang houdt de sonde dat waarschijnlijk niet vol. Al snel zal de dichte atmosfeer van Saturnus de sonde in zijn greep krijgen. Waarschijnlijk gebeurt dat wanneer de sonde zo’n 1510 kilometers van Saturnus’ wolkentoppen verwijderd is. Op dat moment lukt het Cassini niet langer om de antenne op de aarde gericht te houden en zal de communicatie stilvallen. Een paar momenten later zal de sonde – door de enorme wrijving in de atmosfeer – als een meteoor uiteenvallen.
Projectmanager Earl Maize noemt het einde van Cassini “schrijnend, maar passend en nodig.” Met de duik in Saturnus’ atmosfeer komt een einde aan een missie die bijna 20 jaar geleden begon. Cassini werd in oktober 1997 gelanceerd en arriveerde in 2004 bij Saturnus. Inmiddels doet de sonde al zo’n dertien jaar onderzoek naar de gasreus en zijn manen. En dat heeft heel wat verrassende ontdekkingen opgeleverd. Bovendien trakteerde Cassini ons regelmatig op spectaculaire foto’s.

Oh, wat zullen we deze sonde missen wanneer deze over iets meer dan 14 dagen een kamikaze-actie onderneemt.
Op dit moment duikt Cassini herhaaldelijk in het gat tussen Saturnus en zijn ringen. En daarbij kijkt Cassini de ene keer naar Saturnus en de andere keer naar het machtige ringenstelsel van de gasreus.
Uitzicht Ongeacht welke kant Cassini ook opkijkt: het uitzicht moet fantastisch zijn. En dankzij een nieuw filmpje kunnen we een beetje van dat uitzicht meegenieten. Het filmpje is namelijk opgebouwd uit 21 foto’s die Cassini maakte terwijl deze in het gat tussen Saturnus en zijn ringen dook. Tijdens deze snoekduik had Cassini de ogen op het ringenstelsel gericht.
Afbeeldingen: NASA / JPL-Caltech / Space Science Institute.
Uniek We zien de ringen hier vanuit een uniek perspectief (nog niet eerder heeft een ruimtevaartuig zich in de ruimte tussen de gasreus en zijn ringenstelsel gewaagd). En dat perspectief verandert ook nog eens. Zo zien we in eerste instantie de door de zon beschenen zijde van de ringen en later de zijde die niet door de zon beschenen wordt, maar waar wel wat zonlicht doorheen valt.
We zien op de beelden verschillende ringen. De C-ring is wat grijzig en lijkt omvangrijk, omdat deze zich op de voorgrond bevindt. Voorbij de C-ring bevindt zich de B-ring en de ietwat minder heldere A-ring. De B- en A-ring worden van elkaar gescheiden door de Cassini-scheiding. Ook de F-ring is zichtbaar.
Afbeelding: NASA / JPL-Caltech / Space Science Institute.
Cassini maakte de beelden op 20 augustus, tijdens één van zijn laatste duiken in de ruimte tussen Saturnus en de ringen. Er staan nog twee snoekduiken op het programma en dan is het toch echt einde verhaal voor Cassini. De sonde zal opdracht krijgen om zich in de atmosfeer van Saturnus te boren en kan dat niet navertellen. Daarmee komt een einde aan een prachtige missie die behalve fantastische foto’s ook indrukwekkende wetenschappelijke ontdekkingen met zich meebracht.
Nog zo’n prachtige foto die NASA gisteren heeft vrijgegeven. Cassini maakte de foto op 26 april terwijl deze zich voorbereidde op de eerste duik in het gat tussen Saturnus en de ringen. We zien hier het turbulente wolkendek boven Saturnus’ noordpool. Op het moment dat Cassini de foto maakte, was deze zo’n 267.000 kilometer van Saturnus verwijderd. Op dit moment baadt de noordpool van Saturnus nog in het zonlicht, maar de winter is in aantocht en zal deze noordpool jarenlang in duisternis gaan hullen. Maar dat is niet erg: dankzij Cassini – die zag hoe de zomer zich aandiende en de noordpool liet baden in het licht – hebben we nu voor het eerst een gedetailleerd beeld van die noordpool gekregen. En daar kunnen we voorlopig wel even op teren.

UFO hunters Tim and Tracey Doyle, who run YouTube channel UFO seekers, took them with specialist telescopic lenses from the top of 1.4-mile high Tikaboo Peak, a mountain 25 miles opposite the mysterious base.
The heavily guarded Area 51, deep in the Nevada desert, is at the centre of many alien-related conspiracy theories.
It is claimed that alien flying saucers crashed on Earth, such as the alleged 1947 Roswell incident, and that the wreckage and even corpses were taken to Area 51 for experimentation and to be analysed away from public view.
One theory suggests that USAF scientists have tried to emulate the alien technology to create their own top-secret spy craft capable of travelling into space at the base.
YouTube
Area 51 exposed? UFO hunters scaled mountain to film inside Area 51,
Area 51 has been used by American aviation authorities since 1955 and is closed off to those without top-level security clearance.
However, the US Government did not even admit the base existed until 2013, in a series of documents released as part of a Freedom of Information request, and it is heavily protected by armed guards.
The images obtained by the pair show what looks like a water tower, several complexes, and vehicles moving around.
There is no sign of any stored UFOs or alien activity in the pictures.
Thousands visit the remote area of Nevada every year in the hope of seeing ETs.
Many more sceptical people believe Area 51 is so top-secret, because it is where the USAF designed and tests experimental new spy planes and air craft.
It is accepted that the USAF does secretly test new aircraft inside Area 51, with the U-2 spy plane, SR-71 Blackbird, and the F-117A Nighthawk stealth fighter all developed there.
Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual, said: "Area 51 has always been a magnet for those who believe the US Government knows a lot more about UFOs than they are prepared to reveal to the public.”
The area is so mysterious that US presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton made a shock promise that she would declassify all secret Area 51 files.
And more recently alien hunters claimed they had found a UFO inside a climate controlled hanger near Area 51 using Google Maps.
The video, filmed over Los Angeles on Saturday, shows what has been described as an LA County Sheriffs helicopter checking out a hovering spherical object
It has been shared several times on social media and UFO and conspiracy theory websites and YouTube channel.
Tyler Glockner, who runs conspiracy theory YouTube channel Secureteam10, produced a video about the sighting.
In the short video he said a lot of people recorded it and saw it, which "validated the sighting."
However, hopes that evidence of aliens may have been discovered above California, were soon dashed however, by sceptical debunkers.
The LASD aero bureau later confirmed what it was investigating.
The spherical object turned out to be an advertising helium balloon for vape company Brass Knuckles.
Scott Brando, who runs hoax busting website ufoofinterest.org, tweeted: "Object identified. As I said that #UFO filmed from #LosAngeles was an advertising balloon by "Brass Knuckles"."

By BARRIE BARBER | Dayton Daily News
DAYTON, Ohio (Tribune News Service) — For a century, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base’s legend was being the birthplace of the military test pilot, where foreign aircraft and missile technology secrets were discovered, and of long denied rumors of space aliens and UFO captivity.
But what marks Wright-Patterson’s history in the Miami Valley more than anything else as it celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, is the military installation’s decades-long output of discoveries and inventions that have had a revolutionary impact on the aerospace industry and technology used worldwide.
From stealth technology that turned military jets nearly invisible to radar to heat shields that protected a space capsule’s scorching plummet toward Earth, Wright-Patterson and its predecessors were the places where it happened, observers say.
“If you’ve ever flown on an airline or a commercial airplane there’s almost nothing on that airplane that was not affected by the labs or the technology at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base,” said Timothy Gaffney, a Dayton area aviation history author and expert.

The genesis of Wright-Patterson traces to 1917, when the Army carved out two Dayton airfields, Wilbur Wright Field and later McCook Field, to push the boundaries of the new science of aeronautics and flying. Wright-Patt encompasses Huffman Prairie Flying Field, where Orville and Wilbur Wright perfected the airplane.
Today, the base has targeted cutting-edge hypersonic research to developing wearable bio-technologies for soldiers on the battlefield with a push to commercialize technology produced in Air Force Research Laboratory shops.
“It’s one of the important centers for aeronautical research in the United States,” said Janet Bednarek, a University of Dayton professor who teaches aviation history. “All throughout its history, very important, fundamental research and testing work has happened at what is now Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and the surrounding area.”
Wright-Patterson has evolved into the state’s largest single-site employer, with more than 27,000 employees and a more than $4 billion estimated impact.
“The base I think certainly has provided a lot of stability and carried us through those times where there has been a lot of upturns and downturns in industry,” said John Leland, vice president of research and the executive director of the University of Dayton Research Institute, which has a long history of joint technology development with Wright-Patt labs.
Thousands of inventions and research discoveries have bubbled over from Wright-Patterson for decades.
According to AFRL, among the most significant are advanced gas turbine engines, aircraft electronic controls, stealth, advancements in radar and composites, precision-guided bombs, advanced telescopes, and fuels.

Golf clubs to cell phones
Technology spin-offs out of Wright-Patterson research hubs have touched millions of people every day.
Wright-Patterson developed rare earth magnets that are in everything from cell phones, audio speakers, headphones to computers and cordless power tools, said Charles E. Browning, a retired Wright-Patt employee who once led the Materials & Manufacturing Directorate.
Composites, such as carbon fibers, discovered at Wright-Patterson form aircraft wings and shape sports equipment, he said.
The advancement of jet engine technology adapted in both military and civil aviation and laser-and satellite-guided bombs and missiles were two important technologies developed at Wright-Patt, said Morley O. Stone, chief technology officer at AFRL, headquartered at Wright-Patterson.
And to gain an edge in war, Wright-Patt scientists helped create and perfect precision bombing to overcome an adversary’s advantage of more troops, tanks, planes and ships in combat.
“This is really the (Department of Defense) strategy that we had for closing the numerical superiority that this nation (faced) when we were looking at things like the Soviet Union on the battlefield of Eastern Europe,” Stone said.
Radar-evading stealth allowed the U.S. “to maintain air superiority for decades,” Stone said.

Birthplace of the right stuff
McCook Field was the birthplace of the earliest test pilots and “cradle of aviation” experiments that pushed the frontiers of early powered flight in the military.
Along with new airplane designs and engines, the field supported a U.S. Army Air Service around the world flight in 1924 and developed free-fall parachutes.
“Airplanes were new, they were brand new, and they were still just learning about the fundamentals of how to … fly higher, faster, farther,” Bednarek said.
Earliest test pilot pioneers Jimmy Doolittle at McCook Field and Chuck Yeager at Wright Field practiced the art of “the right stuff” in Dayton.
Both later gained international fame. Doolittle led the U.S. B-25 Mitchell bombing raid against Japan in April 1942 after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Yeager was the first pilot to break the sound barrier in level flight in the Bell X-1 rocket plane over California’s Mohave desert in October 1947.
Pioneer researchers often invented the technologies needed to reach higher, farther and faster.
McCook Field workers in the 1920s built the “Five-Foot Wind Tunnel,” used to design a new era of all-metal monoplanes from the earliest days of cloth and wood biplanes, according a historical narrative. . In 1995, the machine – then under the ownership of the Air Force Institute of Technology — was declared a Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark. It ceased operations in 2003.
“Almost every craft that was used during the Second World War and leading up to it was tested in that tunnel,” said Brady Kress, president and CEO of Dayton History. “The basics of aeronautical research and lift and drag and all of that – the core principles of modern aviation, were all conducted on that.”
In World War II, as the base workforce swelled to 50,000, Wright Field made historic progress in pursuit, bombardment, and observation planes and auto giros and helicopters, according to the book, “Splendid Vision, Unswerving Purpose: Developing Air Power for the United States Air Force for the First Century of Powered Flight.”
Operation Paperclip brought German scientists after the end of World War II to Wright Field, among other places in the United States, to advance U.S. air and space science which was in a Cold War contest with the Soviet Union.
Many with jet engine expertise headed to Wright-Patterson after the war, Gaffney said. “It was the go-to place for aviation technology,” he said.
From the skies to the stars, Wright-Patterson has a decades-long record in spaceflight. Candidates to become the first Mercury 7 astronauts, for example, underwent a battery of psychological, physiology and biochemical tests at Wright-Patterson, testing the would-be space travelers mettle to withstand noise, vibration and heat and endure exhausting exercises before they were chosen to climb aboard a flaming rocket to be the first Americans launched into space.
“When we started to look at what it takes to actually put a human being in space the crew systems support that was required to do that basically all had to be created and invented,” Stone said.
For Ohio native John Glenn, memories of the tests at Wright-Patterson were vivid when Stone met the late Mercury astronaut and former U.S. senator a few years ago.
“He looked at me, pointed that finger at me and says, ‘The worst week of my life was spent at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base,’” Stone said.
Wright-Patterson continues to lead U.S. military aerospace medical research. The 711th Human Performance Wing and the Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine are headquartered at the base, which is set to launch a $34.4 million centrifuge that will test the limits of military pilots to withstand crushing g-forces.
Uncovering adversaries' secrets
The dissection of adversaries technology in secret labs fell to the Foreign Technology Division, a forerunner of the National Air and Space Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson
Under Project Blue Book, Wright-Patterson was immersed in the 1950s and 1960s in investigating reports of Unidentified Flying Objects – or flying saucers. The Air Force has long denied aliens or UFOs were hidden at Wright-Patt or that investigators found credible evidence of alien technology or life on Earth.
More commonly, Wright-Patt scientists and engineers reversed-engineered foreign missiles and planes – a task that continues today at NASIC — to discover what made them work. In recent decades, researchers dissected Soviet-era missiles and a MiG-29, one of which stands outside the secretive agency.
“They weren’t chasing aliens,” Gaffney said. “They were worrying about whether these things were threats to national security.”

A secret US base in Ohio hides living and dead aliens from the 1947 Roswell UFO crash, according to a retired Air Force engineer who worked there for 39 years.
Raymond Szymanksi says aliens from the infamous crash were bought to the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) in Dayton, Ohio for inspection.
He said a mentor told him about a system of tunnels that house living and deceased extra-terrestrial beings.

Szymanski claims his mentor at the facility once asked him, 'Have you heard about our aliens?', according to The Sun.
Speaking to the Sun Online, he said: 'During my first week, Al provided me with some totally unexpected and unsolicited sage advice.
'He said that in 1947 there was a crash down in Roswell and they brought the machines and the aliens here for inspection and said they keep them in secret tunnels under the base.'
The town of Roswell in New Mexico became infamous after reports that a flying saucer had crashed in the desert near a military base there on or around July 2, 1947.

The bodies of aliens were said to have been recovered and autopsied by the U.S. military, but American authorities allegedly covered the incident up.
Military authorities issued a press release, which began: 'The many rumours regarding the flying disc became a reality yesterday when the intelligence officer of the 509th Bomb Group of the Eighth Air Force, Roswell Army Air Field, was fortunate enough to gain possession of a disc.'
The headlines screamed: 'Flying Disc captured by Air Force.' Yet, just 24 hours later, the military changed their story and claimed the object they'd first thought was a 'flying disc' was a weather balloon that had crashed on a nearby ranch.

The media and the public accepted the explanation without question. Roswell disappeared from the news until the late Seventies, when some of the military involved began to speak out.
In 2012, a long-serving CIA agent spoke out on the 65th anniversary of the Roswell Incident to reveal a hidden CIA file on the 'UFO' that was supposedly found at the site - and says, 'It really happened.'
Conspiracy theorists believe that alien bodies from the crashed 'disc' were autopsied - and that modern technologies have been built on discoveries from inside the craft.

Chase Brandon, an agent who served 25 years with the agency, said that the information is concealed in a hidden vault within the agency's Langley headquarters.
'It was in a vaulted area - there was one box that really caught my eye. It had one word on it: Roswell. I rummaged inside it, put the box on the shelf and said, "My God, it really happened."
Szymanski has written a book on the topic called 50 Shades of Greys.
