Aphotographer in Poland recorded a strange object in the sky on June 23, 2019. He pulled out his camera and managed to zoom in on approx. x200 zoom and while he couldn't tune it completely, some contours are clearly visible.

He said "This object was very far away, I could barely see it with the naked eye, BUT it was moving very strangely.”

"Once it seemed to fly very slowly and once faster, and for some time even it stopped mid-air. If I am not 100% sure about something, I always say that it is of terrestrial origin - a plane, a drone, a balloon or something but what surprises me is that the object has no wings, instead there is a pink glow around the fuselage.”

Jeff Rense posted two amazing short clips of German flying saucers restored from old film. the footage also included are many photographs of German flying saucers from the 30s and 40s!

The first clip at the beginning shows a German flying saucer flying over a field while the second clip starts at the 5:30 mark in the video and is labeled “Haunebu Test Flight – Nazi Germany 1939!

This ties in with all the whistleblowers who claim Germany did have antigravity working in the 30s and went on to have bases on the Moon and Mars in the 30s and 40s and created a breakaway civilization. Read full story on German Secret Space Program at UFOcasebook.

On September 4, 2019, a sky-watcher in Ukraine recorded a UFO flying through space at an incredible speed. 

It is not satellite. This object travels much faster than a satellite can do. Just watch the video how it covers a very large distance in just a few seconds.

While watching the ISS live feed on September 4, 2019, Nicolas from Montreal, Canada noticed an unknown object appearing in the view of the ISS camera so he started recording it.

The footage shows that the object is clearly moving through the atmosphere. Besides the strange object there is also another unknown object in the background of the ISS.

The video of MRmb333 starts with the recording of the mysterious UFO and continues with a collection of other strange observations in the sky.

Congressman Says Navy Withholding Information on UFO Sightings

The Navy has been withholding information about reports of UFOs, according to a top Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee after officially requesting more information on the mysterious encounters.

North Carolina Rep. Mark Walker, who is the Intelligence and Counterrorism subcommittee ranking member, asked Secretary Richard V. Spencer in July to outline the resources being used by the Navy to investigate the sightings. He also asked if officials have found physical proof to support the claims and whether they are aware of any private companies or foreign nations that have introduced breakthrough technologies that could explain the UFO sightings.

In a response through a brief letter on July 31, Navy Undersecretary Thomas Modly stated that the Department of the Navy takes such reports very seriously and continues to monitor them and investigate the sightings.

However, Walker said that the Navy seems to be unwilling to provide his committee with more information about the so-called unidentified aerial phenomena – the term the government prefers over the more traditional “unidentified flying objects” or UFOs. Walker has publicly expressed concern that the craft could pose a threat to American forces or U.S. territory.

He said that he is encouraged the Navy Under Secretary confirmed that encounters of unidentified flying objects are thoroughly investigated but at the same time frustrated with the lack of answers to specific questions about the threat that advanced aircraft flying in the U.S. airspace may pose.

Navy spokesperson Joe Gradisher responded saying that the service is prepared to accommodate any further congressional requests for data. Gradisher explained that they hadn’t received any new requests for updates on this matter.

Walker specifically questioned the Navy on unidentified aerial phenomena or unidentified flying objects, not drones, citing reports of mysterious flying objects moving at speeds and displaying maneuvers that go well beyond what is thought to be technologically possible.

In July 16 letter, Walker asked Spencer a series of specific questions on the sightings, including if the Department continues to dedicate resources to investigating and tracking the claims and to what measure. Walker also asked the Department if they found physical evidence or otherwise that supports these claims.

Walker believes in the possibility that the U.S. government agencies already know about the truth, but the rest of us don’t.

German WWII Capabilities and Secret Space Program

Here are some highlights from an expert on WWII capabilities of the Germans!

The Germans hit the moon with an unmanned spacecraft, decades before the US reached there!

They generated the antigravity effect of their flying saucers using conventional engines in the 1940s.

They put regular guns on them until after World War 2 was over. Later, they used free energy to power them and utilized beam weapons. That’s the reason they destroyed Admiral Byrd completely and sent down his Navy task force to Antarctica in 1947.

Germans created unmanned spherical drones as foo fighters. These drones were controlled from the ground with television cameras and had heat-seeking, acoustic, and magnetic targeting. Turbojets powered them. The Germans made a master race at the south pole, which is still there until today. They have cures for diseases, and they live longer. Many whistleblowers have been talking about German governments populating many other planets and moons in our solar systems as well as throughout the galaxy!

Jeff Rense posted two incredible clips from the restored old film showing German flying saucers. There were also several photographs of German flying saucers from the 1930s and 40s!

This is not fake and not a Hollywood movie! The first clip shows a German flying saucer moving above a field in the beginning while the second clip starts at the 5:30 mark in the video.

This connects to all the whistleblowers who say Germany did have antigravity working in the 30s and went on to have bases on Mars and Moon in the 30s and 40s! The demonic Draco reptilian aliens (fallen angels) aided a German breakaway civilization.

From other sources, we have been told there are now between half a million and a million Germans on Mars.

Sources now say the Germans flew over the White house in the 50s to show their force and forced governments in different parts of the world into a treaty where they were provided access to all companies and governments on the planet to help them build their bases and ships in our Solar system and beyond.

Snake-Like UFO Appears Over Italy After Former American Marine Says Similar Sightings Are Worldwide

A snake-like UFO was spotted over a town in Italy just a few days after a former US Marine claimed such UFOs had been spotted across the globe.

The strange aerial objects have been observed multiple times over the past few months across the US.

Some suggested they could be military in nature, but ex-Marine Nick Karnaze ruled it out recently.

He claimed that similar sightings had been reported in different parts of the world, which ruled out the UFOs being part of a classified military programme.

Just days after his claim, a mysterious object has been recorded on video over the Italian city of Ravenna.

The footage shows a bright light with what seems to be a tail following behind as it circles in the air.

Witnesses can be heard in the background gasping in shock at the strange sight.

YouTube username M89_GAMER posted it online on August 30.

One commenter wrote in the comment section that it was a UFO in their opinion.

Another one suggested that it was a rocket, a crazy plane, or a star.

Some said the sight was just a kite.

However, the uploader reacted to those claims saying it was not fake.

The uploader explained that several people in Ravenna had seen the same thing and no one has understood what it was.

Alien Festivals in Nevada Towns Get Final Approval

Strict guidelines have been approved by a rural Nevada county on Tuesday for a pair of festivals scheduled to take place later this month in a famous desolate desert area.

Participants of an internet event dubbed “Storm Area 51” originally planned to raid the military installation that has been the focus of extraterrestrial conspiracy theories. Event organizers, however, changed it and planned to hold a pair of festivals instead in the nearby military installation.

The Lincoln County guidelines involve a music festival for around 5,000 people in Hiko and another 10,000 people camping in Rachel for an event in the town nearest to Area 51.

Event organizers said the desert is a nearly three-hour drive from Las Vegas and for the participants to survive there needs to be food, water, and entertainment. Cellphone service is expected to be overwhelmed.

Producer of the Hiko musical event Harris and Keith Wright assured that they have planned carefully and do not want people to trespass on Area 51. Wright said security staff, trash bins, food, water, and toilets would all be tucked in. They presented aerial photos of the site on Tuesday and said they would announce performers in coming days.

Commissioner Bevan Lister said about the plans for the September 20-22 events that people have to be respectful and everyone will have a good time.

Lincoln County Sheriff Kerry Lee and County Commissioner Varlin Higbee said people would be arrested if they approached the gates of Area 51. Lee said that more than 150 law enforcement officers would be available during the duration of the events. He added that Nevada Guard units would also be available for logistical help. Guns and illegal drugs are strictly not allowed in the festivals.

Former US Marine Says Wide Spread Sightings of Cigar-Shaped UFOs Across the World Are Not Military

An ex-US Marine suggests the cigar-shaped UFOs that have been observed across the country in recent months could be something beyond a secret military programme.

Such strange UFOs first came to light back in June when a YouTube user observed an unusual light over California’s Mojave Desert. They often appear long, thin and shaped like a cigar or snake.

Soon, several UFO enthusiasts went to the internet to show their videos of the strange aerial objects from one being seen in Wyoming during a meteor shower to another in New York that seemingly moving like it was alive.

Nick Karnaze, a former US Marine Corps soldier who served as an Intel Officer in Afghanistan, has now revealed that the objects have been observed across the Earth.

Nick travelled around the globe recently along with other investigators to collect proof of their theory that aliens have been in contact with Earth.

Nick said that people are usually assuming that those types of objects could be a potentially classified government programme and that they are restricted to certain areas. However, they have reports from different parts of the world of witnesses seeing similar objects.

For Nick, it indicates something potentially beyond a secret programme because the military community would only test those classified programmes in certain areas.

He added that deploying that kind of technology should be with extra caution on where it should take place.

He further explained that deploying it to a random country outside any present threat to the US or any open war zones would be very unusual.

When asked what he thought these mysterious objects could be, Nick said he could only classify them as unidentified flying object (UFO) or unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP).

He added that it allows imaginations of everyone to run wild with what these odd objects could be when ruling out classified military programs.

“It could be ugly or it could be decent.”

That doesn’t exactly sound like a vote of confidence, but when it comes to the two events that have evolved from the original “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us” extravaganza, that’s the best one of the members of the county commission responsible for the area around the secret base can say about the thumbs-up vote he and fellow commissioners gave to Alienstock, the latest name of the original Storm Area 51 event, and the Storm Area 51 Basecamp, a competing festival in nearby Hiko. While these two get the chance to be ugly or decent, local officials denied a permit for Peacestock 51 – clever name but what about the aliens? Get your “Keep your Area 51 festivals straight program” here!

“We’ll give people something to do so they don’t run amok.”

Amok

That’s the sales pitch that got George Harris, owner of the Alien Research Center, his permit for the Basecamp, which will be centered at the Research Center in Hiko on the Extraterrestrial Highway, according to an Associated Press report picked up by many local and national news services. Harris came in after Alienstock got all of the initial attention and protests and started off with the best plan for security and management of the site, plus he kept the original “alien” intent with guest speakers familiar to ufology fans, like Jane Kyle (UFO Jane), journalists Alejandro Rojas and Jim Goodall, and documentarian Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell, producer of “Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers.”

“I’m elated and shaking inside. It’s all laying on my shoulders because someone said, ‘Hey, meet me in Rachel.’ Now it’s realer than ever.”

We’re gonna need a bigger bus.

That’s the reaction of Connie West, owner of the Little A’le’Inn motel in Rachel, who got the shock of her life when the “Storm Area 51” event was announced on Facebook and 2 million said they were interested — before the comedian who posted it finally admitted it was a hoax. By then it had received worldwide attention and much of it focused on the Little A’le’Inn – the only motel in the area. West told the commissioners that her campgrounds can handle 10,000 people, which is the much-reduced and more realistic number of the estimated potential crowd size for Alienstock, an event that will have corporate-sponsored food and beer trucks and a stripper-mobile, but still hasn’t listed any confirmed musical events.

“We gave the county a new location in Beatty that would be perfect and had a letter of intent prepared and the local government still feels it’s too risky to add us to the agenda.”

David VanDerBeek, the organizer of Peacestock 51 in Nye County, announced the bad news that his festival didn’t make the cut, despite the fact that it had the best lineup of indie bands (Stereo Love, Lori Hardman and more) and tribute bands (Sweet Home Alabama, U2 LV and others). Perhaps he should see how the others go and give it another try next year. After all:

“It could be ugly or it could be decent.”

We’ll keep you posted.

In 1988, construction workers in the Aydıntepe district of Bayburt Province, Turkey, were doing work on a site when they accidentally stumbled across a rather strange discovery. Meandering off into the ground was some sort of passageway that down into the gloom right under a major residential area, and when it was explored it was found to be quite the amazing sight indeed. More than just a series of passages, it turned out that this was an entire ancient subterranean city carved directly into the rock, its creators a mystery, and it what has gone on to become known as the underground city of Aydıntepe has become one of Turkey’s most mysterious and archeologically important sites.

The city itself lies an average of 2 to 5 meters (6.5-8.2 feet) under an area full of houses, offices, and streets, where it long lay undetected coexisting with a modern world that didn’t even know it was there. It is a vast complex, which features a network of chambers, corridors, galleries, and hallways, and various other rooms such as cellars, storage rooms, water source and even a pool, all hewn directly into the rock, which is a type of volcanic tufa rock formation. Most of the chambers, galleries, and halls have ceilings at a height of 6.6 feet, and the halls themselves are an average of 1 meter (3.2 feet) wide, making them very tight and difficult to navigate for the average person. The rooms range in dimension from 2 meters by 1 meter (6.5 feet in length, 3.2 feet in width), to the larger chambers that are much more spacious. Oddly, above the hallways are conical shafts with purposes unknown, although they are thought to have been perhaps used for ventilation or keeping an eye on visitors. At the entrance to the whole thing is a round slab of rock that can be moved to position itself as a sort of door barring entry.

A corridor in the underground city

It has been estimated that the structure dates back to around 3,000 years ago in the Late Roman or early Byzantine era. What makes it all particularly impressive is that none of it uses any building materials, with all of it expertly carved into the stone displaying an incredible engineering prowess for the time. Aydıntepe District Governor Yeliz Yıldızhan has said of this amazing construction:

The most important feature of the city is that it was created without using any construction material. It was carved out of the main rock. The opposing chambers, galleries, water ditches, observation spots, ventilation pipes and holes on the walls for lighting amaze us with the engineering and architecture skills of the era [it was created]. How the bedrock was carved to form that work of art, how this structure is made with human labor astonish people today.

While we know when it was built and how it was built, a big mystery of the underground city is what purpose it served or why it was built underground. There seems to be no evidence of permanent habitation or religious imagery, making it unlikely it was used for rituals or as a dwelling, and there are no tombs within it. One idea is that it might have served as some form of prison or dungeon, which would explain why there are openings over the halls that could have been used for surveillance of prisoners, and still another idea is that it might have been used as a shelter in times of need, although a shelter from what is unclear. One archeologist working on the site has said of this theory:

The mechanisms to close the doors of the city in entrance and exit, the shapes of the ventilation windows and the locations of the rooms show us that the city served as a shelter. Some experts say that people used this place as a settlement since the winter is so cold in the region. Of course, further examinations are needed to make these theories clear.

Another mystery is that no one is even really sure how big it is, with new galleries and passages uncovered all of the time, and although 1,200 square meters (13,000 sq. feet) have been unearthed so far, it is thought to span a much vaster area, perhaps even all the way to the city of Bayburt, around 25 km (15 miles) away, and the use of ground penetrating radar has become commonplace in investigations of this mysterious place. The entire site was put under protection by the Cultural and Natural Heritage Preservation Board in 2008, and in addition to ongoing archeological studies to uncover its true size, origins, and purpose, it has also become a popular tourist attraction in the region, drawing in an estimated 16,000 visitors in 2018. Perhaps as we learn more the secrets of this magnificent buried place will be gleaned from it, but for now it remains as much a mystery as it always has been, and a tantalizing peek through time at a civilization long lost.

The world’s largest non-polar desert, is actually the widespread burial grounds of countless, mysteriously unknown, ancient ruins and civilizations, that have long since been forgotten, having been consumed and hidden by the sands of time, thousands of years ago.

And here’s the thing…when I say “thousands of years ago”…that’s the part where things start to get really strange…

Researchers believe signs of inhabitation can be found dating back some 11,500 years, from the point the glaciers of the last ice age retreated from the landscape.

What happened to the mysterious humans of the Sahara 7,000 years ago?

6,000 years ago the Sahara desert was tropical, so what happened?

5,000 years ago the Sahara desert was home to people, animals, and lush vegetation.

An ancient river network and three ancient rivers created a passage to the Mediterranean were discovered under the Saharan sand.

Beneath the sands of the Sahara desert scientists have discovered evidence of a prehistoric mega-lake. Formed some 250,000 years ago when the Nile River pushed through a low channel near Wadi Tushka, it flooded the eastern Sahara, creating a lake that at its highest level covered more than 42,000 miles.

Hundreds of mysterious ancient structures found in the Sahara desert. The structures come in carious shapes and forms and appear to date back thousands of years and even Real-life "castles in the sand" made by an ancient culture have been revealed by satellites, archaeologists say.

So, what really turned the Sahara Desert from a green oasis into a wasteland?

We know that about 11,000 years ago the Sahara was once green and alive, pocked with lakes, rivers, grasslands and even forests.

But between 8,000 and 4,500 years ago, something strange happened: The transition from humid to dry happened far more rapidly in some areas, resulting in the Sahara Desert as we know it today.

So what happened? What caused the ancient climate to change so dramatically?

The biggest factor affecting earth’s climate is the Sun!

Fluctuations in Earth’s climate are caused by slight wobbles in the tilt of the Earth’s orbital axis, which in turn changes the angle at which solar radiation penetrates the atmosphere.

The seasonal and latitudinal variations of solar radiation that hit the earth in different ways, and at different times, have the greatest impact on earth’s changing climate patterns according to Smithsonian.

So what about the Global Warming threat?

NASA admits that climate change occurs because of changes in Earth’s solar orbit, and NOT because of SUVs and fossil fuels.

According to Natural News, for more than 60 years, NASA has known that the changes occurring to planetary weather patterns are completely natural and normal. But the space agency, for whatever reason, has chosen to let the man-made global warming hoax persist and spread.

In the year 2000, NASA did publish information on its Earth Observatory website about the Milankovitch Climate Theory, revealing that the planet is, in fact, changing due to extraneous factors that have absolutely nothing to do with human activity.

The green Sahara always would’ve turned back into a desert even without humans doing anything. 

Climate change - global warming - that’s just how Earth’s orbit works.

In new book, retired Air Force major claims alien was killed at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst

Erik Larsen  Asbury Park Press

Was an alien shot and killed in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey?

A new book, titled “Strange Craft: The True Story of an Air Force Intelligence Officer’s Life with UFOs,” claims that a military police officer shot an extraterrestrial being at Fort Dix in the early morning hours of Jan. 18, 1978.

In the book by author John L. Guerra and published by Bayshore Publishing Co. of Tampa, Florida, retired Air Force Major George Filer III — a decorated former intelligence officer for the 21st Air Force, Military Airlift Command at the adjacent McGuire Air Force Base — recounts the extraordinary tale from America’s disco age.

Filer, now 84 and living in Medford with his wife, Janet, said what has been an urban legend first promulgated by UFO enthusiasts since the early 1980s is indeed true. That’s because he was there and wrote a top-secret memo about it, he said.

Could it be a UFO? American Airlines pilots spot flying object at 40, 000 feet

In the freezing winter darkness of that day in January 1978, a bipedal creature, described as about 4 feet in height and grayish-brown in color, with a “fat head, long arms and slender body,” was shot to death with five rounds fired from a service member’s .45-caliber (military issue M1911A1) handgun.

As Guerra explains it in his book, the soldier had originally been in a police pickup truck, driving through the wilderness of the base in pursuit of a strange, low-flying aircraft that had been observed passing through the military installation’s airspace about 2 a.m. that morning.

About an hour into the drive, the soldier became aware — in typical, horror movie fashion — that the craft, oval-shaped and radiating a blue-green glow, was hovering directly over his vehicle.

UFOs in New Jersey: What has been spotted above the Shore?

That’s when the “creature” emerged from the shadows on foot, revealing itself to the soldier by stepping into the beams of the vehicle’s headlights where the panicked MP drew his weapon, ordered the alien to freeze, and he fired.

According to the retired major as told in the book, the alleged alien succumbed to its gunshot wounds on the Air Force side of what is now Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in Burlington County; its remains giving off a foul-smelling, ammonia-like stench.

A new book titled, “Strange Craft: The True Story of an Air Force Intelligence Officer’s Life with UFOs,” claims that a military police officer shot an extraterrestrial being at Fort Dix in the early morning hours of Jan. 18, 1978.

Erik Larsen, Asbury Park Press

Later that morning, a cleanup crew from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio — headquarters of the National Air and Space Intelligence Center — flew in to retrieve the body, behaving as if the creature was, well, not entirely alien to them.

The Asbury Park Press reached out to the Air Force at the Joint Base for comment about this story, but never heard back.

Filer, who has most recently served as the state director for an organization called MUFON (the Mutual UFO Network, which catalogs and investigates UFO sightings throughout the United States), never actually saw the dead alien. However, Filer said he knows for a fact that the story is true. It should be noted that Filer has claimed to have seen UFOs throughout his entire life, starting when he was 5 outside his boyhood home in Illinois.

‘There are UFOs buzzing around the pattern like mad’

On that January morning in 1978, Filer said he arrived on base before dawn to prepare his daily 8 a.m. intelligence briefing for his superior officers. In the book, he explains that when he arrived, security at the base had been tightened and he personally observed the emergency response in the aftermath of the incident. He also said he interviewed some of the witnesses from the scene for a report on what happened that he was required to file. However, he was denied access to and was never cleared to see photos that he said were taken at the scene.

Major George Filer III is the eastern regional director of MUFON

Brian Johnston

“The senior master sergeant runs everything, from who sweeps the floors to organizing the staff schedules and making sure phones and faxes are up and running,” Filer is quoted in the book. “He was agitated; his face was pale and his eyes were wide open. Then he said the strangest thing: ‘An alien has been shot at Fort Dix and they found it on the end of our (McGuire AFB) runway.’”

Aliens in NJ?: 70 years ago at the Shore, UFOs filled the sky

Filer said he replied: “Was it an alien from another country?”

“No, it was from outer space, a space alien,” the sergeant explained. “There are UFOs buzzing around the pattern like mad.”

Later, the Air Force classified everything as top secret and silenced the witnesses through national security restrictions and good old-fashioned intimidation. Everyone that is, except Filer.

• More: Brick Township's UFO triggered Air Force probe

Filer has spoken publicly about the 1978 incident before and the incident itself has been the subject of discussion and speculation in the UFO enthusiast community since the early 1980s. Details about it appear to have been first reported in The Trentonian on July 10, 2007.

The Trentonian had reported 12 years ago that the Air Force repeatedly denied the claim, telling the newspaper that “the case was discredited as a hoax years ago.”

UFOs were all the craze in the 1970s

It’s perhaps important to understand the era in which the incident took place. Five years after the end of the Apollo moon program, the imagination of most Americans remained captivated by the seemingly endless possibilities of space travel.

The idea that the universe was filled with intelligent and civilized beings — perhaps hundreds or thousands of years more advanced than humans — had been a staple of the popular culture since the start of the space race between the United States and Soviet Union.

On Jan. 18, 1978, Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster hit “Close Encounters of The Third Kind” — a movie about little gray aliens with fat heads, long arms and slender bodies visiting Earth amid a government cover-up — was still playing in local movie theaters two months after its release date.

Indeed, an ad for the film appears on page A6 in the Press from that date with the tagline “We Are Not Alone,” over a brilliant light emanating from just over a mountainous horizon, down a long road.

A move listing and advertisement on Page A6 of the Asbury Park Press on Wednesday, Jan. 18, 1978, the same day as the alleged incident at Fort Dix and McGuire Air Force Base.

Asbury Park Press archives.

During the previous summer of 1977, the original “Star Wars” had debuted and was not just a mega-blockbuster hit, but made terms such as “Darth Vader” and “The Force” part of the lexicon of the culture. 

UFO sightings carried an air of greater credibility back then — there were 377 references to UFOs published in the Press between 1977 and 1978, compared to 85 references between 2017 and 2018.

Even President Jimmy Carter had acknowledged that he had seen one, a decade earlier.  He had made a post-Watergate campaign promise in 1976 to learn whatever secrets about UFOs the government may have been hiding.

Everyone was looking up for strange lights in the night sky back then, including NASA. The Associated Press reported just two days before the McGuire-Dix incident, that the federal space agency had outlined in a memo to the Carter White House that it was willing to analyze “bona fide evidence from credible sources.”

Then there was the matter of the strange booms from the sky that were heard over the Jersey Shore and indeed much of the East Coast between December 1977 and March 1978, which had frightened some of the population.

The phenomena had started on Dec. 2, 1977 and was violent enough that it caused a tremor in southern Ocean County. Indeed, officials at the Oyster Creek nuclear power plant in Lacey had ordered the evacuation of non-essential staff on that day out of an abundance of caution.

The scientific consensus at the time was that the noise came from the supersonic Concorde, the British-French airliner — transatlantic service to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York had begun a week earlier — that could travel twice as fast as the speed of sound. The sonic boom was thought to have been augmented by a combination of frigid atmospheric conditions and a slight deviation from the aircraft’s normal flight path.

However, the data was inconclusive and subsequent booms did not necessarily conform to the Concorde’s schedule.

In the past few years, there has been renewed interest in UFO phenomena after declassified video and audio last year showed U.S. Navy pilots apparently encountering a strange aircraft as they flew their Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet off the East Coast in 2015.

In June, President Donald Trump told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos that he had been briefed about the subject matter but expressed skepticism that extraterrestrial beings were operating some kind of vehicle within Earth’s atmosphere.

“People are saying they’re seeing UFOs. Do I believe it? Not particularly,” Trump said. 

Aliens or not, what if anything, happened at McGuire Air Force Base on Jan. 18, 1978? Whatever it was, it’s now part of folklore of the Pinelands — and beyond.

ROBBERT VAN DEN BROEKE ZIET ZE VLIEGEN ( VIDEO )

Enkele dagen geleden is er in Noord Brabant een bijzondere opname gemaakt van ufo’s die rondom een ballon hangen. 

Die beelden zijn bijzonder en ook degene die ze maakte, Robbert van den Broeke, kan als bijzonder worden omschreven.

Er zijn door de jaren heen heel wat beschuldigen richting Robbert van den Broeke geuit, zoals bijvoorbeeld de volgende uit de Telegraaf van 1 augustus 2012. 

Robbert van den Broeke (32) is zwaar teleurgesteld. Het medium, dat zeven jaar geleden zogenaamd werd ’ontmaskerd’ tijdens het tv-programma Er is Zoveel Meer met Irene Moors, ligt weer onder vuur. Ditmaal beweert een boze boerin dat Robbert zelf graancirkels heeft gemaakt op haar land. Robbert: „Nu moet ik mezelf weer verdedigen.” 

Nu komt hij weer in het nieuws en wel met twee heel verschillende berichten. 

De eerste betreft een ufo-waarneming die door Robbert enkele dagen geleden is gefilmd en waarover hij zelf het volgende schrijft: 

29 augustus rond 19:00 uur in Hoeven kreeg ik het gevoel dat ik naar buiten moest lopen en in de lucht moest kijken en zag een luchtballon met daarnaast 4 lichtbollen, saturnusachtige lichtbollen. Ik pakte mijn telefoon om deze te filmen.In deze video kunt u de lichtbollen zien, op het einde van de video is de video 400% ingezoomd om zo beter de bewegende lichtbollen te zien. ufo's laten zich steeds meer zien om mensen bewust te maken en ze willen dat we stoppen met oorlog voeren en discrimineren en dat liefde en respect de enige weg is. Ik probeer contact op te nemen met de ballonvaarders om te vragen of zij deze ook hebben gezien ik houd u op de hoogte. 

Ufoloog Scott Waring heeft een artikel gewijd aan deze waarneming en is er heilig van overtuigd dat we hier met een bijzondere opname te maken hebben en dat deze ufo’s echt zijn. 

Naast dit verhaal, verschijnt er enkele dagen eerder ook een heel ander verhaal. 

Robbert van den Broeke dreigt ten val te worden gebracht door nieuwe videobeelden. Daarop is het Hoevens medium te zien waarop hij met een kartonnen afbeelding van Maria en een UFO op een stokje voor een telefoonlens beweegt. Het suggereert oplichting, maar volgens Van den Broeke is hij het slachtoffer van zijn kinderlijke onschuld en bovendien van chantage. Hij spreekt zelfs van een poging tot karaktermoord. 

De Amerikaanse filmmaker William Gazeck leek voor Robbert van den Broeke degene die de wereld zou laten zien dat het Hoevense medium géén oplichter is. Recent was hij naar eigen zeggen getuige van de voorspelling én ontdekking van de grootste graancirkelformatie van Nederland. "Hij is een beroemdheid en was de hele week bij mij en is dus overtuigd van de echtheid. Helaas denken mensen nog steeds wel eens dat ik de graancirkels zelf maak, maar tussen de voorspelling en het ontdekken van de formatie ben ik niet van zijn zijde geweken", zo zei Van den Broeke twee maanden geleden. 

Gazecki, die zelfs een Emmy Award voor één van zijn documentaires in de wacht sleepte, zou zo onder de indruk van het leven van Robbert van den Broeke en zijn ontdekkingen zijn dat hij er een reallifesoap van wilde maken. "Het is echt te mooi om waar te zijn. Het is sowieso geweldig dat zo'n gerespecteerd filmmaker overtuigd is van de echtheid. Dat hij mij voor lange tijd 24 uur per dag wil filmen is heftig, maar voor mij dé kans om te laten zien dat het allemaal echt is", zo sprak het medium. 

Nu blijkt het écht te mooi om waar te zijn. Er zijn namelijk beelden online verschenen waarop hij zichzelf filmt terwijl hij met een foto van Maria op een stokje geplakt te zwaaien. Ook is er een tweede video waarop er een afbeelding van een UFO op een stokje is geplakt. Volgens sceptici betekent dit de val van Van den Broeke en is het duidelijk dat het medium zich schuldig maakt aan oplichting. 

Dit hele verhaal staat in meer detail beschreven op deze website. 

Oplichter, fantast of medium die in een verkeerd daglicht wordt gesteld? Wie het weet mag het zeggen. 

En om dit verhaal compleet te maken is het misschien wel leuk om een stukje terug te gaan naar de tijd dat de helaas overleden Sandra Reemer nog actief was bij Niburu. Naar de tijd dat zij Robbert ging interviewen.

Op jonge leeftijd blijkt dat Robbert meer ziet dan zijn ouders zich kunnen voorstellen. Hij heeft een moeilijke jeugd en er ontstaan bij Robbert trauma’s, fobieën, onzekerheden en angstsyndromen.

Op 4 mei 2005 fotografeerde Robbert een buitenruimtelijk wezen. Hij besloot met zijn waarneming naar buiten te komen en de media wisten hem te vinden. De KRO besteedde in een aflevering van Wonderen Bestaan aandacht aan hem en ook Omroep Brabant maakte een documentaire over het leven van Robbert.

Vervolgens was hij regelmatig te gast bij het programma Life and Cooking met Irene Moors en Carlo Boszhard. Het resultaat van elke uitzending was een lawine aan reacties. Dit leidde tot de ontwikkeling van het televisieprogramma Er is zoveel meer.

Fleet of UFOs Pass the Moon Filmed From an Earth Based Telescope

It looks like it is a fleet of UFOs, a large Mothership followed by several smaller UFOs. The video captured last month, August 2019, shows the fleet of UFOs passing the moon until they disappear behind the moon.

Brain Waves Detected in Lab Grown Mini-brains

Brain organoids — also called mini-brains — are 3D cellular models that represent aspects of the human brain in the laboratory. Brain organoids help researchers track human development, unravel the molecular events that lead to disease and test new treatments. They aren’t prefect replicas, of course. Brain organoids do not replicate cognitive function, but researchers can check how an organoid’s physical structure or gene expression changes over time or as a result of a virus or drug.

University of California San Diego researchers have now taken brain organoids one step further, achieving an unprecedented level of neural network activity — electrical impulses that can be recorded by multi-electrode arrays. Using data from babies born up to three-and-a-half months premature, the team developed an algorithm to predict their age based upon EEG patterns. The algorithm then read lab-grown brain organoids the same way, and assigned them an age.

The electrical impulse pattern for nine-month-old brain organoids revealed similar features to those of a premature infant who had reached full-term (40 weeks gestation).

These new optimized brain organoids may make it possible for researchers to study mental illnesses that aren’t caused by or result in overt physiological changes, but instead involve disturbances in brain cell network activity, such as autism or epilepsy. For many of these conditions, there are no relevant laboratory or animal models.

“We couldn’t believe it at first — we thought our electrodes were malfunctioning,” said co-senior author Alysson R. Muotri, PhD, professor of pediatrics and cellular and molecular medicine at UC San Diego School of Medicine. “Because the data were so striking, I think many people were kind of skeptical about it, and understandably so.” Muotri led the study with Bradley Voytek, PhD, associate professor of cognitive science in the UC San Diego Division of Social Sciences.

Brain organoid construction begins with a perhaps surprising source: an adult skin sample. In the lab, researchers convert the skin cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Like most stem cells, with the right cocktail of molecular factors, iPSCs can be directed to specialize into any cell type. In this case, they become brain cells — different types of neurons and glia, for example.

At UC San Diego, brain organoids have been used to produce the first direct experimental proof that the Brazilian Zika virus can cause severe birth defects and to repurpose existing HIV drugs for a rare, inherited neurological disorder. Muotri and team also recently sent their brain organoids to the International Space Station to test microgravity’s effect on brain development — and maybe prospects for human life beyond Earth.

In the latest study, Muotri and colleagues optimized every step of brain organoid construction. For example, they started from single cells, rather than the clumps of cells used in most protocols. They also tweaked the precise timing and concentration of factors added to prompt brain cell organization. There wasn’t a single secret ingredient or innovation, he said, but rather several improvements over time.

The optimization paid off in terms of cellular diversity and cellular network activity. For example, the team detected a particular primate-specific neuron, called a cortical GABAergic neuron, that had never before been generated in a lab dish. According to Muotri, these cells are important players in the sophistication of neural networks.

To measure cellular network activity, the researchers grew their newly optimized brain organoids on multi-electrode arrays. The electrodes capture and record electrical impulses, which appear as patterns of waves and spikes in an EEG read-out. With the new protocol, the brain organoids went from producing 3,000 spikes per minute to 300,000 spikes per minute.

In humans, oscillations change with age, as brain cell connectivity develops. Newborn baby brains tend to have periods of rest (no waves) between spikes of electrical activity. Those quiet periods get shorter and shorter as the brain develops. In time, brain activity becomes constant, though levels vary. These brain oscillation patterns often correlate with human cognition and disease states.

Muotri and team compared their brain organoid electrical patterns to a publicly available dataset of 567 EEG recordings from 39 babies born prematurely, between 24 and 38 weeks gestation, and for several weeks after birth. From their initial days to nine months, the brain organoids produced similar levels of electric activity, following a similar pattern: less quiet time, more frequent electrical impulses.

Muotri said he is often asked about the ethical implications of this work, with questions like: “Are we getting too close to re-creating the human brain?” These brain organoids dramatically differ from human brains in many ways, he explained. For example, they are several times smaller than an adult human brain. They do not have hemispheres or blood vessels. And they are not surrounded by protective skulls or connected to other tissues.

“They are far from being functionally equivalent to a full cortex, even in a baby,” said Muotri, who is also director of the UC San Diego Stem Cell Program and a member of the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine. “In fact, we don’t yet have a way to even measure consciousness or sentience.”

Muotri’s brain organoids can live for years in the lab, but their activity plateaus at nine months. He said a number of reasons might apply, including the lack of blood vessels or the need for additional neurons to continue maturing.

The better brain organoids can replicate the human brain in the lab, Muotri said, the less researchers will need to rely on animal models and fetal tissue to better understand and treat human disease.

“Our work doesn’t yet replace the need for human fetal brain tissue for research, but it’s very attractive as a potential alternative,” he said.

Over the years there have on occasion appeared remarkable and sensational stories of UFO crashes in which the bodies of the occupants have been captured or otherwise obtained by shady government forces. Undoubtedly the most well known of these is the case of Roswell, New Mexico, but while this may be the one most ingrained in popular culture there are other more obscure reports as well. One of these supposedly occurred in a small, backwater town in Texas, where a strange visitor would purportedly come from some other realm to crash and find its final resting place in a crude grave that has been lost and remains a mystery to this day.

The setting for this bizarre story comes amid a UFO flap that was sweeping the nation at the time. From between the years of 1896 and 1897 some outlandish stories were starting to make the headlines. Beginning in California and working their way east there began to be reported numerous accounts of what were described as mysterious, metallic cigar-shaped “airships” appearing in the skies, said to be slow moving and with powerful spotlights that could pierce the night with great precision. The reports were remarkable because this was an era before airplanes, when even balloons and blimps were not a particularly common site in the skies of these regions, so for so many people to suddenly start reporting giant mystery airships of an unknown design was cause for great concern, making the news on a regular basis.

One town that would be visited by one of these ship was the small, rural farming town of Aurora, Texas. This was an unassuming place that would normally be just another dusty town out in the badlands, nothing remarkable about it or particularly special, a place one could pass right on by without really noticing. Yet according to the Dallas Morning News, on April 15, 1897 one of these mysterious ships allegedly appeared to come sailing down out of the sky to go floating over center of town. This would have been an otherworldly, awe-inspiring sight to begin with, but things would apparently get more spectacular still when the ship meandered off and seemed to experience some sort of mechanical difficulties, purportedly colliding with a windmill on the rural property of a Judge J.S. Proctor, and causing a “terrific explosion” that wrecked the windmill, a water tank, and the airship, sending debris raining down everywhere.

When the wreckage was investigated by stunned locals, they apparently found that much of the debris was a strange, light metal that none of them had ever seen before, like a “mixture of aluminum and silver.” According to the report they also found the pilot of the craft sprawled out on the ground dead amongst the wreckage, and although there was no really detailed description it was described as a petite humanoid figure and called “a Martian,” with the report stating of its appearance, “while his remains are badly disfigured enough of the original has been picked up to show that he was not an inhabitant of this world.” On the creature’s person were supposedly sheets of a paper-like material upon which were scrawled some sort of strange symbols like hieroglyphs, the meaning of which was as enigmatic as the pilot and his weird ship. So, now there seemed to be an actual crashed mystery ship and an alien body, so what did the locals do? Well, according to the tale they tossed the wreckage into an old well, sealed it off, and then had the tiny “alien” given a Christian burial in the nearby Aurora Cemetery in a grave with a small, unassuming headstone with a crude etching of the alien’s ship on it. Newspapers at the time ran with this story, and before long it was being talked about all over the place while curiosity seekers came to town to see the area and its cemetery for themselves.

While it might be easy to say that the Dallas Morning Newsreport, which happened to have been written by an Aurora local, must surely have been a made-up joke piece, there were soon numerous other witnesses coming forward to corroborate the story, saying that they had also seen the craft or had even witnessed the crash and the dead alien body, giving weight to the strange account. There was also the odd claim from the new owner of Judge Proctor’s property, a Mr. Brawley Oates, who claimed in 1945 that he had found pieces of the alien ship buried in the well, which had made him ill and forced him to cover the site with cement to seal it away.

As amazing as all of this was at the time, it oddly all sort of faded away and became sort of an obscure historical oddity for decades, the location of the grave forgotten until the account was picked up on by UFO enthusiasts. The case quickly became popular with the UFO hunting crowd in later years, with many investigations of the claims launched over the years. One of the first of these was carried out by Bill Case, an aviation writer for the Dallas Times Herald and the Texas state director of Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), who interviewed surviving witnesses and checked out the cemetery. He would claim in 1973 to have found the gravestone of what he believed to be the alien’s grave, not much more than a rock, really, small in size and half-broken, carrying what appeared to be part of an etching of a “saucer shaped structure.” Using a metal detector, it was determined that there seemed to be large metal pieces buried down there in the ground, and the excited investigator tried to get permission from the city to exhume the grave with no success. Making the story more bizarre was that he would claim that upon his next visit the metal pieces had seemingly disappeared, possibly moved by someone. Not long after this the gravestone itself was stolen, and the location of the body lost once more.

Aurora Cemetery

Another notable investigation was carried out by the television show UFO Hunters in 2008. The team approached the current owner of the Judge Proctor property Tim Oates, nephew of Brawley Oates, the one who had sealed the well. Oates gave them permission for the well to be unsealed, but no pieces of alien wreckage were found and the water tested was fairly normal except for heightened levels of aluminum present. If there had ever been pieces of an alien airship in there they had since been removed and lost. UFO Hunters also investigated Aurora Cemetery, looking for the lost unmarked grave with ground penetrating radar. It seems they found a promising spot and tried to get permission to dig it up but were denied. Without being able to exhume the remains it was impossible to determine if they were human or not, and so the mystery has remained. To this day the location of the grave, or indeed if it ever existed at all, is unknown, although the cemetery itself still bears a plaque listing the alien as one of those interred there.

The tale of Aurora’s UFO crash and its lost alien grave has been much discussed and picked apart in recent years. One prominent idea is that this was all merely a publicity stunt to get more people to come to the town. They had been suffering from a string of calamities such as a disease epidemic, a devastating fire, and lost crops, so it is possible that the original article was a ploy to get people to go there. After all, at the time it doesn’t seem that any one really ever followed up on the original report, and there is also the fact if there was a dead alien of all things, how could it possibly be buried and then its resting place forgotten about? Wouldn’t someone desecrate the grave or even rob it? Other ideas are that the crash really was an alien craft and the grave is either still out there waiting to be found or the body whisked away by the government Roswell style. There has also been the idea that this might have really happened, but rather than some alien or interdimensional traveler it was perhaps some mad scientist testing out his own airship contraption. Considering the verifiable facts are thin and no evidence has ever really been found that any of this happened as described we are left to wonder. Did a UFO crash at Aurora and is there an alien buried in the cemetery there?  Whether it is true or not, it is an strange little historical oddity that stokes the imagination.
