PRACHTIGE UFO BOVEN TENNESSEE, USA

Soms kom je best wel heel bijzonder ufo opnames tegen en de volgende hoort wat mij betreft in die categorie.

De foto hieronder is genomen door een man uit de plaats Arrington in Tennessee op 9 november 2016. Hij reed die dag op de weg en zag plotseling iets in de lucht. Eerst dacht hij dat het een luchtschip was, maar toen hij dichterbij kwam besefte hij dat dit absoluut geen luchtschip was.

Het was volgens de man erg groot en vloog heel langzaam vanuit het noorden naar het zuiden. Toen hij bij een plek kwam waar hij kon stoppen stonden er nog een paar auto’s en direct na hem stopte weer een auto.

De man beschrijft de ufo als er groot en solide en het enige licht dat de man kon ontdekken was een soort gloeiend wit licht bovenin. Er waren geen andere lichten bekennen zoals je die zou verwachten op een vliegtuig. Op een gegeven moment verdween het object achter de bomen en lieten een paar stomverbaasde mensen achter die nog nooit zoiets hadden gezien.

The X-Files and UFO History: Reel vs. Real

The X-Files took believers seriously. We look at how the series mined UFO myths and played off our fears and suspicions.

Anyone driving across a barren interstate freeway at night has likely looked up into the sky and wondered about the possibility of witnessing the unexpected. For people who have held beliefs in extra-terrestrials or alien craft, the entire history of the UFO phenomenon is an obsession that goes beyond mere fascination. 

Books, movies, and television help alien seekers conceptualize what an encounter could potentially look like. Perhaps no show has flown as close to the sun with depicting real-life accounts of the UFO phenomenon than The X-Files, the seminal sci-fi series from Fox and Chris Carter. 

When Carter’s series made its return to Fox for a revival in 2016, it honed in on a new extra-terrestrial threat for the digital age. Ever since they successfully blurred the line between fiction and real world events when the pilot debuted in 1993, The X-Files has depicted triangle-shaped crafts, or disc shaped crafts of various sizes, or even more recently in the new episodes, ARV’s - Alien Reproduction Vehicle’s. But the series drew from real world belief in the phenomenon, as well as the belief in global conspiracies. 

The Basis for The X-Files

Chris Carter’s pre-pilot research revealed something startling. He read a Roper Organization survey stated that three percent of the U.S. population believes they have been abducted by aliens. When Carter would later direct the “Duane Barry” episode, a fill-in crew member revealed his brother-in-law believed he had been abducted. Carter’s persistent mantra in the early years was that the show had to be “scientifically plausible.” This meant that a lot of the research was pulled from real UFOlogy archives. 

One key plot element in the series has been the Roswell incident, which the Deep Throat character first mentioned in season one’s final episode “The Erlenmeyer Flask,” when he comments that “Roswell was a smokescreen.” It was a comment that would be mirrored by the old man in “My Struggle I” from the new event series.

Where Next for The X-Files?

X-Files Season 11: Everything We Know So Far

The Roswell incident from 1947 in New Mexico has remained the holy-grail source for the subject, touching on most of people’s concerns. As The X-Files heavily played up in the first episode of season 10, “My Struggle,” they showed the military retrieving wreckage from an unidentified craft, and using intimidation, misdirection, deniability, or direct threats to hide from the public secret military technology, or the existence of extra-terrestrials. What is known about the incident is that an event took place in July of 1947. The public might not have known about it had it not been for a military press release on Tuesday, July 8^th that confirmed a disc-shaped object that “landed” on a Ranch, just outside of Roswell Army Air Field.

"Are They Really A Hoax?"

The Roswell story caused a sensation for hours in the press before a second story was released that the wreckage of a weather balloon was recovered. Major Jesse A. Marcel was the head of 509^th Bomb group intelligence office at the time of the incident. But the story of a landing wouldn’t jive with one of the eyewitness accounts of a foreman named William Brazel, who was working for rancher J.B. Foster at the time. 

William and his son Vernon claimed to have come across an area strewn with unfamiliar material that was part of some collected wreckage. In a matter of days, Major Marcel and Captain Sheridan Cavitt of the Counter-Intelligence Corps contacted them and took the materials. In spite of residential eye witness accounts by the Wilmonts, the flying saucer story was debunked by the Roswell Dispatch by July 9^th. Interest in the story was revived by the late ‘70s, but most of the eyewitnesses had passed away by then. 

Many UFO believers regard the incident as a key moment, pointing fingers at segments of the military, whom they say created smokescreens to cover up alien technology, or secret military aircrafts. Original witnesses had offered conflicting stories; some had described a crashed disc, with two hundred yards in diameter that formed a long, thin strip some three quarters of a mile long, between two hundred to three hundred feet wide, and at one end was a deep gouge in the ground, ten feet wide, and five hundred feet long. That account would have indicated a significant amount of debris.

Some of the wreckage recovered had “I-beams” which Marcel’s son described as having hieroglyphic-type characters. These first accounts would describe something fairly mundane, and likely a crashed experimental craft in development near Roswell Army Air Field, or a shot down foreign craft. 

The mythology of Roswell became evident here. There were no initial reports of an intact craft or alien bodies recovered. In 1974, TV researcher Robert Carr put out comments about a craft, and frozen alien bodies being held in Wright-Patterson AFB, related to a crash in 1948 that was later debunked. 

Despite the falsehood, it triggered interest in the UFO research community, and the Roswell case started to be taken seriously. Other figures have elaborated the story with greater claims, such as Frank J. Kaufman, Glenn Dennis, Jim Ragsdale, “Pappy” Henderson, Mr. Rowe, and Major Edwin Easley. Several figures even claiming there were two crash sites, which has only complicated the narrative about what was found. 

Some theories suggest that a Japanese Balloon bomb from World War II was recovered, or a V-2 rocket that veered off course, as part of the MOGUL project, a project developed with sensitive instruments and high altitude balloons to monitor soviet nuclear test activity. 

Roswell’s Rumble is Chris Carter’s Treasure

What The X-Files did do well was add fragments from the known history to create an unsettling agenda in the series’ mythology. Carter and Co. borrowed much of the tone of the 1960s ABC sci-fi series The Invaders, which starred Roy Thinnes, a future X-Files acting alumnus who played the character of Jeremiah Smith.

In The Invaders, Thinnes played David Vincent, a man who witnesses a flying saucer land with alien beings intent on taking over the Earth. Over the course of the series, Vincent manages to gather a small circle of people who believe him, and eventually the invaders change their plans.

The series had an obvious parallel to the plight of the X-Files iconic villain. “We had a perfect conspiracy with an alien race,” The Cigarette Smoking Man ominously intoned in The X-Files season six episode, "One Son"; “Aliens who were coming to reclaim the planet and destroy all human life. Our job was to secretly prepare the way for their invasion. To create for them a race of human-alien hybrids. They were good plans, right plans. Kept secret for over fifty years, ever since the crash at Roswell.” 

Some of the events in the series that speak of a clandestine meeting between the Colonists and the Syndicate in 1973 revealed in “One Son” mirror a rumored alleged clandestine meeting in February 1954 at Muroc, now Edwards, air force base, with on-going contact between Extra-Terrestrials and eminent people, including Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Which has also lead to the argument with some UFOologists that recovered technology from Roswell was “reversed-engineered,” and lead to developments like the current laser, transistors, microchips, Velcro, and microwave ovens. It has also been argued that such "reverse-engineering" gave the United States leverage with such contact. Deep Throat certainly suggested the Military use of “reverse-engineering” in season one’s second episode. 

In The X-Files season five episode “Redux,” Michael Kritschgau offered up an counter explanation regarding Roswell as a cover, a red herring for other agendas. 

“The Military saw a good thing in ’47 when the Roswell story broke. The more we denied it, the more people believed it was true. Aliens had landed – a made-to-order cover story for generals looking to develop the national war chest.” 

Kritschgau further noted that such official investigations as Grudge, Twinkle, Project Blue Book, and Majestic 12 fed into the belief in UFOs, Kritschgau also noted that the first supersonic flight was in 1947, after which, every experimental flight was considered a U.F.O. All of these points are part of the historical lore.

The new X-Files episode, “My Struggle” depicted a version of the Roswell Crash, while also citing several other events, including the Kenneth Arnoldsightings from June 24, 1947, near Mount Rainier, Washington.Other events noted were the Maury Island sighing from June 21, 1947 near Tacoma, Washington, as well as the 1952 UFO flap over Washington D.C.  

The Arnold sighting is notable. A pilot was commanding his own light aircraft to Pendleton Oregon from a job at Chehalis Air Service, Washington State, when he found himself near a location where an aircraft had vanished. At an altitude of 9,200 feet (2,760 m), he saw a bright flash, which he described as a “screwy formation… a chain of nine peculiar-looking aircraft” flying north to south at approximately 9,000 feet (2,790 m) elevation and going in a definite direction at an angle of 170 degrees. 

The objects approached Mount Rainier at a very high speed, some of them changing or dipping direction. He realized they were moving much too fast to be a flock of birds. Upon landing in Yakima, Arnold described what he had witnessed to his fellow pilots. He would later describe them as half-moon-shaped oval in front and convex in the rear. At first, the news of his sighting was treated as a hoax, but Arnold’s impeccable record and integrity prompted people to take him more seriously. Arnold had assumed it was some sort of secret weapon or Soviet aircraft invading US airspace, an idea that was reinforced in private by a former USAF officer, that it was some rocket-powered jet, skeptics have suggested he witnessed a flock of pelicans, but this ignores the little known fact that Arnold had another sighting in the same area five days later at La Grande Airfield, Oregon.

Another key sighting that was visually referenced in the “My Struggle” teaser was the Maury Island incident. Harold A. Dahl, a harbor patrolman at Tacoma, was on his boat with his fifteen-year-old son, his dog, and two crewman on the 21st at around 2 p.m. when they saw five doughnut-shaped objects with rows of portholes circling around a sixth object. They estimated it was about 2,000 feet (600 m) above the water at the Puget Sound. They estimated that the objects were about 100 feet wide with a 25-foot hole in the middle. 

While landing on the beach of Maury Island, Dahl took several photographs. One of the ships appeared to be trying to repair the other ship. There was a thunderous explosion, and the entire object emitted dark, almost molten, rock-like material and sheets of an extremely light metallic substance. Being directly under the shower, Dahl’s dog was killed, his son’s arm was injured, and the boat was damaged. After the UFOs headed out to sea, Dahl tried to get help via his radio, but it was dead. Dahl and others collected sample evidence and took it back to Tacoma to his boss, Fred Crissman. Soon, Kenneth Arnold was investigating the incident, and within days had his own encounter.

Lastly, there was the incident in Washington from 1952. As the nuclear age developed through the ‘50s, the ratio of UFO activity seemed to increase. In June of 1952, there were reports of UFOs over the skies of the east coast of the United States. Starting in Quantico, Virginia, there were various accounts of witnesses from Pan American Airline and National Airline crews spotting crafts through July, seen on radar at the Air Route Traffic Control. At Washington’s National Airport, the sightings near the capital reached such a degree that B-52s and F-94s were dispatched to intercept but to no avail. 

These cases would evolve and become more complicated, and many themes were cited and explored on The X-Files. UFO abductions, the alien-human hybrid hypothesis as first cited in “The Erlenmeyer Flask,” UFO cults cited in episodes like “Red Museum,” or Ancient Astronaut Theory first cited in “Biogenesis,” or animal experimentation as cited in “Fearful Symmetry.”

Such real life incidents fed into the story arc’s of The X-Files, and often acted as a starting off point for the writers imagination. What is also to be noted is the point that writers would attend conventions about the UFO phenomenon in the early years, which would lead to the invention of characters like The Lone Gunmen, or other UFO investigators, there’s even accounts of the series writers enjoying cooperation from some government agencies. This cross pollination helped to shape the science and speculation that detailed the series.

Chris Carter and The X-Files took subjects that had been discussed in whispers and brought them into the mainstream, hence the popularity of Ancient Aliens for the History channel, or NASA’s Unexplained Files for the Discovery channel. Indeed, The truth is often stranger than fiction.

In the sci-fi film Arrival, alien spaceships suddenly appear above twelve locations on Earth. The aliens—seven-limbed creatures called heptapods—are willing to let a few humans come aboard for quick chats, but there's no universal translator gizmo to help the two species parley. Instead, each country calls upon its top linguists, including Louise Banks, played by Amy Adams.

Banks is whisked away to the nearest spaceship in Montana, tasked with untangling the heptapods’ languages and figuring out why they have come to Earth. To find out how linguists might react when faced with an extraterrestrial language, the filmmakers consulted Jessica Coon, a professor of linguistics at McGill University in Montreal.

“These aren’t your typical Star Trek aliens that have two arms and two legs and a vocal system just like ours, but happen to be a different color or have strange bumps on their heads,” Coon says. “They’re really not human looking at all and the sounds that they make are completely nonhuman sounds, and that’s probably more likely what we would expect to find.”

We asked Coon about what the film gets right about field linguistics, why alien languages will be difficult to decipher, and how linguists might go about doing so.

Aliens will play by a different set of rules

If aliens ever do touch down on Earth, their language is likely to offer challenges not found in any human language. “What linguists have discovered about human languages is that even though they can sound very different from one another and their grammars do show a lot of variation…languages tend to fall into certain patterns,” Coon says. So given certain pieces of information about a human language, linguists can often make reliable predictions about its other properties.

Take word order. In languages where verbs come before objects, it’s also common for prepositions like “on” to precede nouns. So in English, we say, “ate the apple,” and, “on the table.” In other languages, such as Japanese, both patterns are reversed. “Most of the world’s languages fall into one of those patterns or the other,” Coon says. “The variation isn’t completely unconstrained.”

Alien languages are unlikely to follow the same rules that human languages share. “Humans seem to be hardwired for this capacity to learn language,” Coon says. “Because it is part of our genetics and part of being human, it’s very unlikely that other creatures…would have the same kinds of constraints or show the same kinds of similarities that human languages do.”

And experiences that can be represented in every human language may not show up in an alien one. Every human language will have some way of representing intent, Coon says. “Kids are going to want to be able to say, ‘I didn’t mean to break that cup.’” But, as Banks explains to her colleagues in Arrival, if an alien species acts instinctively their language may have no concept of self-will, or no way to distinguish between doing things on purpose as opposed to by accident.

Linguists won’t even be able to assume that an alien language will have nouns, verbs, questions and other elements that are basic building blocks of our speech. “We would just have to hope…that we would still be able to recognize patterns and match it up with we’re seeing,” Coon says.

Even our own biology could limit us from understanding an alien language. Assuming our visitors even have mouths, we still might not be able to pick apart the speech they utter. In Ted Chiang’s “Story of Your Life,” the short story that inspired Arrival, Banks’s character points out that human ears and brains are built to understand speech made using a human vocal tract. But when it comes to aliens, she says, “it’s possible our ears simply can’t recognize the distinctions they consider meaningful.”

While they are able to make progress with the aliens’ unique written language, Banks and her colleagues are hampered by an inability to reproduce the heptapods’ noises. “With the spoken language it’s just a nonstarter because she can’t produce these strange sounds that sound like whale calls and purring cats,” Coon says.

So how would we talk to aliens?

For her first fieldwork assignment, Coon spent a summer in Mexico learning the Mayan language Ch’ol. “Going to the site of a recently arrived UFO isn’t really anything like driving into the jungle in Chiapas,” she admits. Still, Coon says, Louise Banks’s attempts to decipher the heptapods’ languages in Arrivaloffer a pretty accurate representation of how we would try to translate alien speech.

If future linguists find themselves facing down intelligent aliens, they will have to introduce themselves, communicate what they want to do, and practice speaking or writing with the aliens. Like Banks, linguists will start small, understanding very basic terms before working up to more complicated questions.

“The film doesn’t really go into the nitty gritty details of how exactly she deciphered the language…but I think they did a very nice job piecing together the montage scene of Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner working together and acting out different scenes, and getting translations for basic things you can point to, and you see her poring over the logogram looking for patterns,” Coon says. “I think that’s exactly what linguists would be doing if they do call us to translate for aliens.”

When deciphering human languages, most field linguists bring along a few simple tools, such as an audio recorder (and perhaps a video camera), some pencils and paper, and whatever information they already have about their target language or related languages. “That’s always a good starting place,” Coon says. For any new language, she says, “Really it’s about interacting with speakers and asking lots of questions, and building up hypotheses about how the grammar works, and testing them by asking speakers more questions and refining our understanding of detailed parts of the grammar.”

What can we learn from afar?

So actually being able to interact with aliens will be key. But what if we can't get close enough to attempt discourse with our alien guests? Linguists might still be able to make some progress with recordings, Coon speculates.

In the film, Banks’s first chance to hear the newly arrived aliens arises when a military officer plays her a brief audio file and asks what she can figure out from it. “That is obviously an impossible task, you need some kind of matchup between the sound and what’s being said,” Coon says. But Banks might have had more luck with videos and some knowledge of what context shaped the scene. If she had access to a large number of longer recordings, she could look for noises that reliably correspond to particular actions. “With enough of that kind of information…you could sort of whittle away at the grammar of a language,” Coon says.

Ancient human languages have been deciphered without help from living speakers. “If you have enough information and enough of the context and the history, I think there’s hope that even without a lot of interaction you could be able to make at least significant progress in understanding the grammar of a language—again depending on how likely we are to be able to understand alien life at all,” Coon says.

Does this mean that we could pick up an alien language from their broadcasts, or that they could learn ours? “I wouldn’t be surprised at all if creatures who could make giant spaceships that just show up on Earth could easily figure out our languages from the many broadcasts we put into outer space, and that we might be able to do the same thing with sufficient resources and sufficient information,” Coon says.

2 Injured After Porter Airlines Aircraft Forced To Evade ‘UFO’ Over Lake Ontario

The object may have been a balloon or drone.

LUCAS OLENIUK VIA GETTY IMAGES

Two people suffered minor injuries after an aircraft swerved to avoid a “UFO” in the skies over Lake Ontario on Monday.

The Porter Airlines Dash 8 aircraft, which was carrying 54 passengers, encountered the object at about 9,000 feet as it descended into the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. 

“The pilots noticed an object in the distance (and) as they approached the object, they realized it was very close to their flight path,” Porter Airlines said in a statement, according to the Canadian Press.

At first the pilots thought it was a balloon. However, after debriefing, they said the object could have been a drone.

“Nobody knows at this point. It happened so quick,” Peter Rowntree, senior regional investigator with the Transportation Safety Board of Canada, told The Star. “It definitely wasn’t a bird. It was a fairly large object.”

Two flight attendants were taken to an area hospital to be treated for minor injuries, the CBC reported. 

The Canadian government is now working to pass new rules to regulate the growing number of drones, and possibly help prevent incidents such as this one.

There have been a number of close calls between aircraft and drones around the world, especially near airports. Earlier this year, a British Airways jet struck a drone while approaching London’s Heathrow Airport. No one was injured in that incident.

Video – Why Russia Did Not Put a Man on the Moon? The Secret Soviet Moon Rocket

It’s probably the most well known peacetime battle between the USA and the Soviet Union, in both technological and ideological terms of the 20th century.

Although the USA won the race to the moon, if you’d been a betting person from the mid 1950’s to 1960’s, the chances are that you would have thought the Soviet Union had a very good chance of getting there first.

So why didn’t Russia put a man on the moon?

At the time the soviets were leading the space race, they had already started with the launch of Sputnik, then launched several probes to the moon, including one in 1959 that orbited and taken photos of the far side and By 1961 they were the first to put a man in to space.

So when Kennedy made his now famous “We choose to go to the moon” speech in 1962 to rally public support, Khrushchev’s response was silence, neither confirming nor denying that they had a plan for a manned moon mission.

But at the time Khrushchev wasn’t really interested in competing with the US over the moon, he was more interested ICBM’s the Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles for the strategic rocket forces.

But there were others that had harboured plans for manned mission for a long time, these included the man whose name was a state secret and the most powerful man outside the Kremlin when it came to space.

He was Sergei Pavlovich Korolev, outside the inner circle of the top space scientists he was known only as the “Chief Designer” or by his first 2 initials SP, because the Soviet leadership feared that the western powers would send agents to assassinate him.

Korolev was the man who was behind many of the soviet space successes and the head of the OKB-1 design bureau, he over saw sputnik, and the manned missions including the first man in space Yuri Gagarin. His authority extended over almost everything to do with space, his design group worked on missions to mars and venus, communications, spy and weather satellites, ICBM’s and the soviet manned moon missions.

Korolev had a huge amount of control over the space program. In administrative power he was almost a one man version of NASA covering areas that in the US were done across multiple aerospace companies and flight centres.

But even a man with his power and connections didn’t get everything his own way. He had to continuously fight against rival designers and design groups. Although Korolev wanted the moon missions, in 1960 the job was given to his rival, Vladimir Chelomei because of his patronage by Khrushchev but his lack of experience meant that progress was slow.

The progress of Apollo on the other hand worried the chief designers and as a result of this and the in-fighting between the design bureau’s meant that there were multiple overlapping designs for the moon missions, at one point there were 30 different designs for launchers and spacecraft.

In 1964 and with the fall of Khrushchev, Korolev was given complete control over the moon missions and pushed through his designs ahead of Chelomei’s and the decision to finally compete for the moon was given, with the aim to land in 1967 the 50th anniversary of the October revolution and get there before the Americans.

This created a problem for Korolev, in order to lift the payload weight of 95 tons he needed a very large rocket. This new rocket would be called the N1, be as big as the American Saturn 5 and would require large powerful engines, similar to the F1 rockets in the Saturn.

Valentin Glushko was the leading Soviet rocket designer and head of the OKB 456 bureau, which had a near monopoly when its came rocket design & production. He specialised in making engines that used hypergolic propellants.

These consist of a fuel and an oxidizer, that when mixed together spontaneously ignite when they come into contact with each other. Korolev thought these were too dangerous for manned missions due to the highly toxic and corrosive nature of the chemicals that made up the fuel.

Glushko said that it was not possible to create a new large engine design that used cryogenic fuel of liquid oxygen and Kerosene and get it ready in time with limited resources and cash. He also sited that at the time the Americans had been working on cryogenic Saturn engines for 5 years and still hadn’t got them to work reliably…….

Aliens are ‘watching us and could arrive on Earth in the next 20 years’

Erich von Daniken, author of infamous book Chariots of the Gods, claims extraterrestrials will visit our planet in the coming decades Aliens are watching us and could arrive on Earth in the next 20 years, the author of ground-breaking book Chariots of the Gods has claimed.

Erich von Daniken, 82, sparked controversy when he published the work in 1968. Today, Erich – who has sold 75million books to date – insists there is even more evidence to support his theory than there was when he crafted it in the late 1960s.

And he believes that when they do make their appearance it could be on television, or in a football stadium.

Speaking from his home in Switzerland, Erich said: “I believe that at the moment we are under observation.

“This is based on conversations with very intelligent people, who have been told officially that UFOs are reality, and we are being watched. “I believe within the next 20 years some extra terrestrials will show up here – on television maybe or in football stadiums. “Crop circles show that somebody is already trying to contact us without shocking us. And we should start to think about these things. “I believe extraterrestrials will return to Earth and we should take this into consideration so we are not shocked. “Because it will be good for mankind. “We will learn to live in peace.”

He went on: “We humans, we have a psychological problem with extra terrestrials. We look at earthlings at the biggest thing in the universe.

“We don’t want extra terrestrials because they will crush our uniqueness. And therefore we try to deny they exist. “But this has changed. Extra terrestrials were here and they promised our ancestors they would return. “It would make more sense to look at this prospect in a speculative way, than to just throw it away. Don’t say it’s all rubbish. “We should think about it as we do science fiction movies. “Science fiction movies helps us to keep an open mind, and to ask questions about other life forms that might be out there.”

Chariots of the Gods – which inspired Hollywood film Prometheus – speculates if landmarks such as Stonehenge and the Pyramids could be signs left by aliens who visited thousands of years ago and promised to return..

And while it was welcomed by millions of readers, many scientists dismissed its claims as rubbish. But Erich – who accepts that criticism for his book at the time was “completely normal” – insists he has won over many experts with his views as knowledge of space has improved.

These advances have opened up a new world of possibilities for those wishing to explore the universe. Last month entrepreneur Elon Musk unveiled his vision to send people to Mars in just 10 years – with the aim of building a city on the red planet. But while Erich welcomes the prospect of interplanetary travel, he says people will have to wait a lot longer if they want to live on Mars.

He said: “I support the mission to Mars but I know we absolutely cannot survive there without taking our own environment.

“That environment would have to be there for at least two generations before we create an earthly atmosphere.

“A mission to Mars would be great, but that’s a story that goes on for the next 200 years.”

In celebration of the Chariots of the Gods ’s 50thanniversary, Erich von Däniken will deliver a keynote speech on Saturday October 15 at The Princess Anne Theatre, BAFTA, Piccadilly London, for The Erich Von Daniken Legacy Night.

UFO IS REAL YOU WONT BELIEVE THIS UFO SEEN LANDING IN AREA 51 AND MORE 2016

UFO conspiracy theories argue that evidence of unidentified flying objects and extraterrestrial visitors is being suppressed by various governments, and politicians in every country, most notably the officials of Washington DC. Such conspiracy theories commonly argue that Earth governments, especially the Government of the United States, are in communication and/or cooperation with extraterrestrials despite public claims to the contrary, and further that some of these theories claim that the governments are explicitly allowing alien abduction.

Various UFO conspiracy ideas have flourished on the internet and were frequently featured on Art Bell's program, Coast to Coast AM. According to MUFON, the National Enquirer reported that a survey found 76% of participants felt the government was not revealing all it knew about UFOs, 54% thought UFOs definitely or probably existed, and 32% thought UFOs came from outer space.

Notable persons to have publicly stated that UFO evidence is being suppressed include Senator Barry Goldwater, Admiral Lord Hill-Norton (former NATO head and chief of the British Defence Staff), Brigadier General Arthur Exon (former commanding officer of Wright-Patterson AFB), Vice Admiral Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter (first CIA director), astronauts Gordon Cooper and Edgar Mitchell, and former Canadian Defence Minister Paul Hellyer. Beyond their testimonies and reports no substantiating evidence has been presented to support their statements and conclusions. According to the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry little or no evidence exists to support them despite significant research on the subject by non-governmental scientific agencies.

Why Aliens in Sci-Fi Look the Way They Do, Tentacles and All 

Raise your tentacles if you are an alien.

Ryan Britt

In the new science fiction film Arrival, Amy Adams must convince moviegoers that she is a crack linguist named Dr. Louise Banks, tasked with communicating with a many-tentacled alien species called Heptapods. Unsurprisingly, making us believe Amy Adams is really Louise is much easier than convincing us that Heptapods are what aliens might actually look like. Science fiction can make us believe all sorts of things, but there’s a tricky difference between something seeming realistic and being realistic.

At first glance, the aliens of Arrival are more convincing — or at least more complicated — than the extraterrestrials found in most sci-fi movies. But why? The simple answer to this is that they have both tentacles and a complex language. Plus, their language is real, even if it was made specifically for the movie. This means humans could conceivably use the logograms in Arrival to communicate, giving the alien invasion movie a sheen of plausibility.

Much older science fiction dealing with aliens (TV, film, poetry, or prose) often now feels laughable and outdated, because how can you not laugh at those stupid rubber masks in Outer Limits? But, it’s pretty important to remember that these don’t feel dated because of any contemporary advance of real science. As of now, there is no working biological field of study about what intelligent aliens would look actually look like. This isn’t to say the entire field of astrobiologydoesn’t exist, it’s just that it’s primarily focused on the extraterrestrial environments where basic organisms could evolve. Wild speculation about whether intelligent aliens would have tentacles or exist as hive minds made out of gas doesn’t figure into real astrobiology.

And in terms of real science, contact with intelligent alien life is improbable enough to be considered practically impossible. The Fermi Paradox states plainly that the reason we don’t see any evidence intelligent alien life in the Milky Way Galaxy is because there isn’t any.

A many-tentacled alien in the 'Alien' prequel 'Prometheus' 

In short: Because intelligent alien bodies have never, ever been seen, there is no real scientific case study on which to base their fictional design. Instead, the presentation of more “realistic” aliens with tentacles in science fiction is probably based on this line of thinking: Life as we know it would have evolved in an ocean. Things that live in the ocean have tentacles and seem “alien” to humans. Ergo, more “realistic” aliens would have space tentacles. And because there’s a legacy of great science fiction — like Octavia Butler’s 1987 novel Dawn — that feature complex aliens with tentacles, the many-tentacled alien motif has become code for more a more “plausible” alien.

Tentacles then, might be somewhat superficial, making the Heptapods really no more “alien” than the pointy-eared Vulcan, Mr. Spock on Star Trek. This isn’t the fault of the Heptapods, or of Mr. Spock. It’s actually just a very real limitation human creativity.

Ted Chiang’s short story “The Story of Your Life” (the basis for Arrival) finds Louise ruminating on the challenges of communicating with the aliens: “The familiar was far away, while the bizarre was close at hand,” she says. And though this is a brilliant line, it belies the opposite tendency of the physical depiction of aliens in most science fiction: We are in fact very “familiar” with the “bizarreness” of aliens who have tentacles.

In his groundbreaking 1997 meta-fictional essay/short story titled “If Lions Could Speak,” noted science fiction writer Paul Park points out that when any writer tries to “describe” an alien, that writer is probably only describing humanity through a lens. As Park writes: “The words we put into an alien mouth, the feeling into an alien heart, the tools into alien hands, what can they be but imitations of our words, feelings, tools?” In both “The Story of Your Life” and Arrival, the Heptapod aliens work in the narrative because there’s something human and relatable about them, despite their exotic appearance. No one loves this movie or short story because of the extreme “alienness” of the Heptapods. Instead, we love it because it has heart.

Cover detail of 'Coelestis.'

As Park writes, stories about aliens invariably show us something other than aliens: “When a writer conceives of an alien species, she will extrapolate what human beings would be like if they shared the alien’s morphology.” In his novel Coelestis (published as Celestis in the U.S.) Paul Park explored this as a literary conceit: The only way to write about aliens would be to imagine an alien who had been forced to be human. The story of Coelestis is all about aliens who have been coerced over the years to essentially change their species over to humanity. The novel focuses on a girl named Katherine who originally wasn’t a “girl,” because she’s not actually human. The plot then, focuses on her discovering her “alien” qualities. In this way, the dishonesty of trying to write from a true “alien” point of view is slyly subverted. “You can’t talk about the subject [of aliens] directly, or in a way that makes sense,” Park told Inverse, “Because of the logical problem in the story.”

Practically speaking, a realistic story about alien intelligence defies logic. In Stanislaw Lem’s famous novel Solaris, the basic question of bridging impossible communication gaps ends in sad failure. An intelligent alien ocean conjures up dead people from the memories of a depressed scientists in an attempt to say hello. Clearly, something is lost in translation.

But the impossibility of it all isn’t why we love stories like this. The communication with the Heptapods in Arrival is warm and touching because were are convinced — for a brief moment — that these aliens are real. The attention to detail and the idea that language is so central to the plot cements their “reality” firmly enough to make us care. But Louise’s journey with her Heptopod friends is ultimately — as all good alien stories are — mostly about her. “The alien intelligence becomes part of the landscape, something to be experienced or overcome,” Paul Park said. “It’s something to show us aspects of ourselves.”

When Louise writes the word “human” on her little dry erase board in Arrival, she’s really holding up a mirror to the Heptapods. And even if the reflection in that mirror is covered in tentacles, make no mistake, these aliens are still totally human.

TAGS:Stranger Things

The parallel universe from Stranger Things could be real, the US Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz has surmised.

Hit Netflix show Stranger Things features a nightmarish parallel world called the Upside-Down.

Appearing on US TV’s Chelsea talk show, Moniz was asked by host Chelsea Handler if the US government operates similarly to the Department Of Energy seen in the show, which is the centre of Upside-Down research activities.

“I can tell you first of all that I’ve never see [the show], but I am aware of it,” Moniz replied.

“Secondly, I believe this fictional [Department Of Energy] laboratory was operating in the 1980s, you can draw any inference you wish from that. Third, I would note that we do work in parallel universes.”

Moniz went on to explain the science behind how parallel universes could exist before added that he “would not get carried away in terms of some of the other things that happen” in the show.

Watch in the clip beneath.

Netflix recently confirmed that it has renewed Stranger Things for a second season, expected in 2017. Season two will feature nine episodes – one more than the first – with co-creators Matt and Ross Duffer returning alongside executive producer Dan Cohen.

The creators have also issued a casting call for women willing to cut their hair.

Mysterious 'burning' UFO spotted in the sky above capital city 'favoured by aliens.

BY SUZ ELVE

The mysterious orange light was filmed for a full minute.

A mysterious ‘burning’ UFO has been filmed travelling across the sky above a capital city.

Residents of Lima, Peru, were left stunned as the orange light floated slowly through the air in the slightly darkened sky.

The video, which lasts a full minute and was revealed by Peruvian media last night, has left observers mystified.

To add to the mystery, people in other parts of the South American country, including the highlands to the southeast of Lima and the area near the Amazon rainforest, also spotted strange lights in the sky.

Alerta Noticias

One theory is that the lights could be the high-altitude balloons used by Google’s Project Loon, an initiative that provides Internet access to people in remote and rural areas.

The balloons float in the stratosphere about 18km, 11 miles, above the Earth’s surface and do contain lights.

Is this where aliens from Mars relax? British conspiracy theorist spots a SOFA on Red Planet

However, there are a number of people who believe Peru is a regular stop-off for aliens who are drawn to the country by its many ancient sites, including the world famous Machu Picchu citadel in the Andes Mountains.

'Men in Black' Figured out Alien Relations Before Scientists

19 years later, the best alien movie ever made teaches us a thing or two about what life with aliens might actually look like.

Neel V. Patel

The most important movie of 1997 was not Titanic; it was Men in Black. MiBgrossed less than half of what James Cameron’s flick made (although nearly $600,000 is still plenty of money). It won exactly zero Academy Awards — or any film accolades, for that matter. The film was not responsible for launching any of its cast members into superstardom, and it certainly possess no iconic scene of a nude portrait in progress — despite how badly the public was clamoring to see a naked Tommy Lee Jones grace the silver screen.

And yet, 19 years later, Men in Black has maintained a bigger influence on our lives than an overwrought piece of historical fiction directed by a megalomaniacal director — because it’s a movie about the future, or at the very least, a version of what our future might be.

The existence of extraterrestrials has been pondered endlessly since heliocentric theory was accepted as fact by the world’s scientists. Once the globe understand that the Earth was not at the center of the universe, people became more open to the idea that life — even intelligent life — could have evolved on other planets. And of course, the notion that life might exist elsewhere also meant those beings could possess some of the more gruesome qualities that humans do.

Namely, that they might be hostile.

So the 20th century was filled with stories and films depicting aliens invading us puny Earthlings, thereby forcing us to band together and fight off oppressors from across the galaxy. Although movies like Close Encounters of the Third Kind(1977) and E.T. (1982) demonstrated a more positive version of what a chance meeting with aliens might look like, the ‘90s saw a push for much more grim views of extraterrestrials visiting the third rock from the sun. Independence Day(1996) gave us the destructions of Earth’s major cities. The X-Files was smack in the middle of stoking ideas about government conspiracies, alien abductions, and an alien invasion that substituted lasers and guns for viruses and clandestine operations. Mars Attacks! was hilarious but also demented, showcasing an alien force composed of equal parts technological intelligence and id.

Men in Black changed all of that. It flipped the script of a half-century’s worth of stories about governmental secrecy, and presented a world where aliens were pretty much as dumb, simple, and happy-go-lucky as most human beings. Agent J (Will Smith) and Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) do spend a bit of their time firing guns and chasing down baddie extraterrestrials, but for the most part, they are playing the insanely dull role of having to just talk to people (or rather, aliens disguised as people) and help them with their problems.

Why are they so good at their jobs? Simple: they’re good at communicating with others. For Agent K and (to some extent) Agent J, a world with aliens is actually really mundane. They’re just people with more arms, ugly faces, and hotter tempers.

Men in Black posits the idea that maybe a scenario in which humans learn they aren’t alone is actually just as boring a universe as it is right now. And paradoxically, this is actually as crazy as the idea that aliens would come to this planet to wage war and conquer our species — because how the hell could lifeforms who have mastered interstellar travel be so consumed with, well, consumption?

But that’s exactly what makes Men in Black so brilliant. The film’s dry sense of humor demonstrates that, perhaps, if aliens ever do show up at our doorsteps, we shouldn’t heed hysterical notions that they’ll take over our world – nor should we consider that revelation as a foundational shift in our ideas about humanity. Instead, we should reaction to aliens the way we do most scientific findings: “hey, this is some pretty neat shit, and I can’t wait for our lives to be transformed by it, but for now I’m gonna get on with sharing cat gifs with all my buddies!”

The scientists who spend their days looking for aliens have still not found anything. To make your life’s work the search of something that has never before experienced any success must be existentially daunting. Men in Black highlights that a self-effacing approach to this absurd task at hand is exactly what allows you to pursue a difficult passion without becoming obsessively consumed by it.

As space travel and exploration moves faster, and allows us to peer off into far away worlds, the idea that we might one day meet extraterrestrials is feeling closer than ever before. We should look at Men in Black as a lesson that if and when that day arrives, let’s not lose our shit. Be like Agent K and just remember that everything and everyone is still pretty bad — and that the best thing we can do is to focus on our jobs, take care of the little things, and let the big things work themselves out.

THE MOST MYSTERIOUS UFO DISCOVERIES IN ROMANIA

Romania is the country where many puzzles, mysteries and fantastic discoveries have their place. Most times, nobody talks about them, ignoring them for convenience or because they are almost impossible to explain. Perhaps a more thorough investigation of these facts would open new horizons for understanding the history distant planet and about human evolution. Why not speak about these findings? The answer remains a mystery that will probably not be elucidated again.

UFOs carved stones Neamţului Mountains: among others, here they were found tablets of clay, printed icons which may constitute forms of the oldest writings in the world, and two strange stone structures, one resembling striking a UFO and the other bringing, as striking with the famous Sphinx in Bucegi. The oldest blast furnace metals worldwide was discovered in Câmpeni. It has existed for over 8000 years.

Mysteries of Sarmizegetusa. Here it is assumed that there are several underground rooms where secrets are kept mankind. So far no one had the curiosity to explore the area. I'm wodering why? Baciu Forest, near Cluj-Napoca, is considered "the paranormal", otherwise it's all over the world knowing the shocking details.

THE MYSTERY BEHIND THE MISSING CAPSTONE OF THE GREAT PYRAMID!

The hidden secrets of the Great Pyramid of Giza have intrigued explorers and experts for a long time.

There are probably many hidden chambers that are still left untouched which could give us a lead to the true purpose of this colossal pyramid.

But one mystery surrounding the mega structure is the fact that the capstone is missing. How come? Was there a capstone in the first place?

Some researchers say that the capstone may have been completely built in gold, so, if it was in fact made of such a solid material then how did they achieve on removing such a large massive piece with aproximately 9 meters in height?

Another theory suggests that the pyramid had a large sphere in it's summit, which served as a conductor of cosmic energy and would turn the pyramid into a massive power plant. The sphere could also be associated with the "Eye of Horus" and the brightest star in the sky "Sirius".

THIS IS WHY WE HAVEN NOT SEEN ALIENS YET & IT’S NOT GOOD ACCORDING TO BRIAN COX

In recent days, two research directions in this direction have been published. The first comes from René Heller of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System (Germany) and Ralph Pudritz, McMaster University ( Canada). These scientists have simply reflected the way we detect exoplanets and overthrew the problem: what are the moments and the most favorable locations to detect and observe the Earth when it is far away in space?

One technique for observing planets around other stars is to use the time they spend in front of their sun. This is the so-called "transits," which could even afford to get details on the composition of the atmosphere of exoplanet studied, and thus to discover traces of life.

• We Have To Be Cautious Of Alien Encounters, Says Nobel Prize Winner Brian Schmidt

Heller and Pudritz suggest to focus on the stars may be in the "gray area" in which, seen from there, the Earth would pass before the sun. If we shine our instruments on these stars, we could detect potentially habitable planets. Moreover, we could "hear" these planets, particularly with specialized radio telescopes in attempts to detect extraterrestrial intelligence, looking for signals that these "aliens" would send us after realizing that the Earth meets the conditions necessary for life and perhaps even found our electromagnetic emissions.

The second possibility, published a few months ago but back on the center stage this week, is more a hypothesis testing, one of the aliens already know about us, watching us but do not wish to contact us. This is one of the answers to the Fermi paradox, called "the zoo hypothesis ." In the style of the "prime directive "non-interventionist "Star Trek, "those brave Aliens have decided to let us live our lives peacefully watching us from afar.

Physicist and Astronomer Brian Cox was the latest to address the Fermi Paradox in a recent interview. Although his outlook is relatively pessimistic, it is still a very real possibility. Cox says, “One solution to the Fermi Paradox is that it is not possible to run a world that has the power to destroy itself and that needs global collaborative solutions to prevent that.” He continues, “It may be that the growth of science and engineering inevitably outstrips the development of political expertise, leading to disaster. We could be approaching that position.”

For what reasons? There's a gaggle of possibilities. For example, they can wait until we have reached a certain level of technology required for a first contact, considering it necessary that a civilization develops by itself without outside help. Perhaps instead they look at us with bewilderment wondering when we're going to self-destruct, unwilling to get caught in such molasses. Their motivations are perhaps so foreign to our thinking that we can not imagine.

Flying Saucers to Mind Control: 7 Declassified Military & CIA Secrets

London teens battle aliens that invade their neighborhood in “Attack the Block.” Courtesy photo

BY ROD POCOWATCHIT

In honor of the new Amy Adams alien flick “Arrival,” well, arriving, here are 10 essential aliens-invade Earth movies (it should be noted that not included on my list are movies where there was no actual invasion, like “E.T.” or “Starman,” who did more hanging out than invading

'Arrival' (Teaser trailer)

When mysterious spacecraft touch down across the globe, an elite team - lead by expert linguist Louise Banks (Amy Adams) - are brought together to investigate. As mankind teeters on the verge of global war, Banks and the team race against time for answers – and to find them, she will take a chance that could threaten her life, and quite possibly humanity.

Sony Pictures

▪  “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” (1977)

– Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi classic follows a group of people who are psychically connected to aliens who pay Earth a friendly, colorful, tuneful visit. It’s novel, grand in scope and simply breathtaking. And I’ve never looked at mashed potatoes quite the same way after seeing Richard Dreyfuss’ mashed potato sculpture scene.

▪  “The War of the Worlds” (2005)

– Speaking of Spielberg, the director’s take on H.G. Wells’ classic tale is a visceral, scary rush, led by a hearty performance from Tom Cruise as a less-than-perfect father tasked with trying to get his kids to safety when aliens attack. The scene with Tim Robbins where we don’t see anything but know exactly what’s going on is indelible – and genius.

▪  “Signs” (2002)

– Mel Gibson stars as the father of a family that finds mysterious crop circles in farm fields that could signal an alien invasion. Director M. Night Shyamalan was at the top of his game here, including nods to Alfred Hitchcock and even Spielberg himself. Everything kind of goes haywire with a ludicrous ending (as Shyamalan’s films tend to do), but up until then it’s an eerily tense mystery.

▪  “District 9” (2009)

– While most alien invasion films tend to treat the world as U.S. territory, co-writer/director Neill Blomkamp set his tale in South Africa (where he’s from), where an extraterrestrial race has arrived seeking solace and is forced to live in slum-like conditions. The film’s parallels to apartheid and immigration are none too subtle, but it makes for topical commentary.

▪  “Independence Day” (1996)

– OK, OK, it’s not actually a good film, but it’s a great bad one and more than a guilty pleasure. Sure, there are logic and plot holes big enough to drive a spaceship through, but who can resist Bill Pullman’s president speech? “We will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight. We’re going to live on. We’re going to survive. Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!” I shed a little tear just now.

▪  “They Live” (1988)

– Wrestler-turned-“actor” “Rowdy” Roddy Piper gives a monotone, wooden performance in John Carpenter’s cult classic, but that actually makes it even better. He plays a man who stumbles across a pair of sunglasses that reveal aliens in our midst and expose evil subliminal forces at work in our everyday surroundings. The film’s Big Brother-like predictions are a bit too close for comfort.

▪  “Edge of Tomorrow” (2014)

– Tom Cruise plays a soldier, but the real star is the film’s “Groundhog Day”-like premise, in which Cruise slowly figures out how to fight off aliens by having to live the same day over and over again. It’s dazzling, gripping and a lot of fun.

▪  “Starship Troopers” (1997)

– Campy as all get-out but wearing it like a badge of honor is Paul Verhoeven’s giddily violent sci-fi mash-up where aliens that look like giant bugs have invaded Earth. It’s completely ridiculous but pure adrenaline-fueled fun.

▪  “Attack the Block” (2011)

– This British import is director Joe Cornish’s under-the-radar gem, about a teen gang in South London defending their block from an alien invasion. It’s funny, creative and exciting with some sly social commentary. It also stars a newcomer who would go on to stardom in a galaxy far, far away: John Boyega, who plays Finn in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”

▪  “The Day the Earth Stood Still” (1951)

– No, not that painfully boring 2008 Keanu Reeves remake, but the original black-and-white classic about an alien that arrives and tells the people of Earth they must live peacefully or be destroyed as a danger to other planets. Its environmental message was light years ahead of its time. But will we ever listen?

UFO hunter reveals UK version of Area 51

365994 03: A warning sign marks the boundary of Area 51, March 12, 2000 in Rachel, Nevada. This sleepy Nevada town is located just a stone's throw from the secret U.S. military base known as Area 51. Locals claim that strange things occur around here such as the appearance of UFO's in the sky and other otherworldly oddities emanating from the military base. Due to these bizarre circumstances, the town's economy has geared up for tourism. The 'Little Ale Inn' and the 'Area 51' research center are just two of the many tourist attractions the town has to offer.

A paranormal investigator claimed that the British government is hiding the truth about UFOs and aliens.  There have been hundreds of UFO sightings across the continents and the United Kingdom is just one of the countries known as a UFO hotspot.

The founder of the Strange Phenomena Investigations that is responsible for carrying out UFO and Paranormal Research, Malcolm Robinson, has recently revealed that the former Ministry of Defense (MoD) has disclosed several cold case police files from Bonnybridge showing evidence of at least 300 UFO sightings at UK's own "Area 51".

The United Kingdom also has its own Area 51 just like in the U.S. This Area 51 is allegedly considered as a secret military base where the remains of the UFO space crafts are stored. According to a report published by TIME Magazine, UK possibly houses a top secret facility which is similar to Area 51 that stores evidences about UFO and alien sightings.

According to the reports, Malcolm has already submitted the case files about UFO sightings to the former British Prime Minister, David Cameron. He has also requested the government to launch a formal inquiry about extraterrestrial sightings.  However, the request was ignored.

The Mystery behind Area 51

In 2013, CNN reported that the Central Intelligence Agency has finally admitted that the Area 51 in Las Vegas, Nevada in the United States is storing debris of extraterrestrial aircraft. And on 2014, the former Area 51 scientist, Boyd Bushman has exposed the evidence of aliens and UFOs before his last breath.

Now, it is not just the United States that stores UFO and aliens evidence. According to Robinson, the governments including Britain had covered up many sightings and files about UFOs and aliens.  He claimed that the manager of the defunct UFO desk, Nick Pope have lots of evidence, but refused to divulge half of it to the world.

UFO Department and Hotline was Shut Down

In 2009, the UFO department and hotline were closed because it no longer served its defense purpose. Documents were taken away and were later revealed from the Freedom of Information. Mr. Robinson said that the Ministry of Defence has slowly unveiled the government files about UFO sightings in the UK.
