HISTORY OF UFOS
HISTORY OF UFOS
In popular culture, the term UFO–or unidentified flying object–refers to a suspected alien spacecraft, although its definition encompasses any unexplained aerial phenomena. UFO sightings have been reported throughout recorded history and in various parts of the world, raising questions about life on other planets and whether extraterrestrials have visited Earth. They became a major subject of interest–and the inspiration behind numerous films and books–following the development of rocketry after World War II.
UFO NEVADA-HEAVY!! Whistle Blowers Speak AGAIN! Area 51 Cover UP Cloaked UFO Over Atlanta! 2016
The first well-known UFO sighting occurred in 1947, when businessman Kenneth Arnold claimed to see a group of nine high-speed objects near Mount Rainier inWashington while flying his small plane. Arnold estimated the speed of the crescent-shaped objects as several thousand miles per hour and said they moved “like saucers skipping on water.” In the newspaper report that followed, it was mistakenly stated that the objects were saucer-shaped, hence the term flying saucer.
Sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena increased, and in 1948 the U.S. Air Force began an investigation of these reports called Project Sign. The initial opinion of those involved with the project was that the UFOs were most likely sophisticated Soviet aircraft, although some researchers suggested that they might be spacecraft from other worlds, the so-called extraterrestrial hypothesis (ETH). Within a year, Project Sign was succeeded by Project Grudge, which in 1952 was itself replaced by the longest-lived of the official inquiries into UFOs, Project Blue Book, headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. From 1952 to 1969 Project Blue Book compiled reports of more than 12,000 sightings or events, each of which was ultimately classified as (1) “identified” with a known astronomical, atmospheric, or artificial (human-caused) phenomenon or (2) “unidentified.” The latter category, approximately 6 percent of the total, included cases for which there was insufficient information to make an identification with a known phenomenon.
THE ROBERTSON PANEL AND THE CONDON REPORT
An American obsession with the UFO phenomenon was under way. In the hot summer of 1952 a provocative series of radar and visual sightings occurred near National Airport in Washington, D.C. Although these events were attributed to temperature inversions in the air over the city, not everyone was convinced by this explanation. Meanwhile, the number of UFO reports had climbed to a record high. This led the Central Intelligence Agency to prompt the U.S. government to establish an expert panel of scientists to investigate the phenomena. The panel was headed by H.P. Robertson, a physicist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Calif., and included other physicists, an astronomer, and a rocket engineer. The Robertson Panel met for three days in 1953 and interviewed military officers and the head of Project Blue Book. They also reviewed films and photographs of UFOs. Their conclusions were that (1) 90 percent of the sightings could be easily attributed to astronomical and meteorologic phenomena (e.g., bright planets and stars, meteors, auroras, ion clouds) or to such earthly objects as aircraft, balloons, birds, and searchlights, (2) there was no obvious security threat, and (3) there was no evidence to support the ETH. Parts of the panel’s report were kept classified until 1979, and this long period of secrecy helped fuel suspicions of a government cover-up.
A second committee was set up in 1966 at the request of the Air Force to review the most interesting material gathered by Project Blue Book. Two years later this committee, which made a detailed study of 59 UFO sightings, released its results as Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects—also known as the Condon Report, named for Edward U. Condon, the physicist who headed the investigation. The Condon Report was reviewed by a special committee of the National Academy of Sciences. A total of 37 scientists wrote chapters or parts of chapters for the report, which covered investigations of the 59 UFO sightings in detail. Like the Robertson Panel, the committee concluded that there was no evidence of anything other than commonplace phenomena in the reports and that UFOs did not warrant further investigation. This, together with a decline in sighting activity, led to the dismantling of Project Blue Book in 1969.
OTHER INVESTIGATIONS OF UFOS
Despite the failure of the ETH to make headway with the expert committees, a few scientists and engineers, most notably J. Allen Hynek, an astronomer at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill., who had been involved with projects Sign, Grudge, and Blue Book, concluded that a small fraction of the most-reliable UFO reports gave definite indications for the presence of extraterrestrial visitors. Hynek founded the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS), which continues to investigate the phenomenon.
Aside from Project Blue Book, the only other official and fairly complete records of UFO sightings were kept in Canada, where they were transferred in 1968 from the Canadian Department of National Defense to the Canadian National Research Council. The Canadian records comprised about 750 sightings. Less-complete records have been maintained in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Denmark, Australia, and Greece. In the United States, CUFOS and the Mutual UFO Network in Bellvue, Colo., continue to log sightings reported by the public.
In the Soviet Union, sightings of UFOs were often prompted by tests of secret military rockets. In order to obscure the true nature of the tests, the government sometimes encouraged the public’s belief that these rockets might be extraterrestrial craft but eventually decided that the descriptions themselves might give away too much information. UFO sightings in China have been similarly provoked by military activity that is unknown to the public.
POSSIBLE EXPLANATIONS FOR UFO SIGHTINGS AND ALIEN ABDUCTIONS
UFO reports have varied widely in reliability, as judged by the number of witnesses, whether the witnesses were independent of each other, the observing conditions (e.g., fog, haze, type of illumination), and the direction of sighting. Typically, witnesses who take the trouble to report a sighting consider the object to be of extraterrestrial origin or possibly a military craft but certainly under intelligent control. This inference is usually based on what is perceived as formation flying by sets of objects, unnatural—often sudden—motions, the lack of sound, changes in brightness or colour, and strange shapes.
That the unaided eye plays tricks is well known. A bright light, such as the planet Venus, often appears to move. Astronomical objects can also be disconcerting to drivers, as they seem to “follow” the car. Visual impressions of distance and speed of UFOs are also highly unreliable because they are based on an assumed size and are often made against a blank sky with no background object (clouds, mountains, etc.) to set a maximum distance. Reflections from windows and eyeglasses produce superimposed views, and complex optical systems, such as camera lenses, can turn point sources of light into apparently saucer-shaped phenomena. Such optical illusions and the psychological desire to interpret images are known to account for many visual UFO reports, and at least some sightings are known to be hoaxes. Radar sightings, while in certain respects more reliable, fail to discriminate between artificial objects and meteor trails, ionized gas, rain, or thermal discontinuities in the atmosphere.
“Contact events,” such as abductions, are often associated with UFOs because they are ascribed to extraterrestrial visitors. However, the credibility of the ETH as an explanation for abductions is disputed by most psychologists who have investigated this phenomenon. They suggest that a common experience known as “sleep paralysis” may be the culprit, as this causes sleepers to experience a temporary immobility and a belief that they are being watched.

Stunned photographer claims this could be first REAL snap of an alien flying saucer
Stunned photographer claims this could be first REAL snap of an alien flying saucer
A SHOCKED photographer believes he could have landed the first conclusive picture of a real flying saucer, claiming he snapped a door opening on a silver metallic UFO.
"I said vanished because when I tried to take the sixth photo I could not find it anymore."
The photographer was using a Cannon 450D digital SLR camera with zoom lens at a hotel in the Turkish resort of Kemer, Antalya, on April 3, and has just made the report.
The witness said: "I was sitting and talking with the family. It was a Shiny object with strange movements.
"We thought it was a helium filled metallic balloon. It moved North first and then came back and hovered above the sea.
"I was surprised and then took five shots with my Canon."
The sighting is causing a buzz on UFO websites.

The bizarre-looking object was allegedly caught cruising over the sea, with some suggesting it looked like a flying toasted sandwich maker.
The sighting is being investigated by the world's biggest UFO investigation organisation in case it could be the historic proof alien hunters have been seeking for years.
The witness, who has not been named, reported the sighting and sent pictures to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) based in the USA, which has opened a case file.
The witness said in a brief report: "When you look at the pictures it was like a door opened at the end of the photos.
"When you look at the pictures it was like a door opened at the end of the photos. It becomes the known UFO shape and vanished.
Photographer
The UFOvni2012 YouTube channel has released a short video about the sighting, which has analysed the pictures in close up.
There have been mixed reactions by commentators.
UFO hoax buster Scott Brando, who runs website ufoofinterest.org, said there was no question it was a helium-filled mylar balloon in the shape of an A or a V.
He posted pictures of such balloons online.
Martin Harris posted after watching the film: "It's a curious set of images, but totally inclusive.
"Could be something small and close to the camera or large and distant.
"Maybe someone with more technical knowledge can enlighten us?"
"I said vanished because when I tried to take the sixth photo I could not find it anymore."

Logline: An investigation into the March 13th, 1997 disappearance of four Arizona men exposes a military cover-up of the largest UFO sighting in North America known as “THE PHOENIX LIGHTS”.
Synopsis INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS. THE PHOENIX INCIDENT is based on the largest UFO sighting in North America known as the Phoenix Lights. Blurring the line between fiction and reality, the fact based, sci-fi thriller revolves around the military conspiracy and controversial missing person’s case surrounding the infamous 1997 event. With the support of the victims’ families, along with classified military documentation, cockpit recordings, Air Force pilot interviews, actual FLIR footage, and first-hand recovered video evidence, The Phoenix Incident exposes the military’s engagement with extraterrestrial contact, and the collateral damage of 4 civilians.
Background Thursday March 13th, 1997 marks the date of the Phoenix Lights, the largest mass UFO sighting in US History. The night of the incident, four Phoenix residents vanished in the Estrella Mountain National Park, south of Phoenix. Glenn Lauder (28), Mitch Adams (29), Ryan Stone (27), and Jacob Reynolds (28) were reported missing to the Maricopa County Sheriff's office. The infamous “Lauder Case” has become the longest unresolved missing person’s case in Arizona history.

Residents in the city of Quebec, Canada, have reported an unusual rise in UFO sightings recently.
According to a 2015 survey conducted by Ufology Research, a huge number of Canadians reported weird skyward spheres, blinding lights in the firmament, and bright orbs that rapidly appear and disappear in the sky.
The Winnipeg group’s annual report calls Canada “a nation rich in storytelling,” but stresses that studying reports of sightings means combining witness accounts with the search for “objective truth.”
Is it something man-made? Is it a figment of one’s imagination? Is it driven by contemporary culture’s storytelling about strange celestial sightings? Or could it be, the report asks, “another form of life we cannot begin to understand?”
Quebec accounted for 35% of all reported sightings in Canada last year — a big spike for a province sitting between 5% and 15% in previous years.
“We wish we knew exactly what is going on,” said Ufology Research’s Chris Rutkowski. “There is some suggestion that maybe the media were a little more interested in UFO sightings, that maybe there was a media push in Quebec last year that resulted in more people looking up into the sky.”
UFO Sightings
There were 1,267 reported sightings in Canada last year, the second-highest total in three decades, the report says.
As for cities, there were 97 reports in Montreal, followed by 78 in Toronto and 69 in Vancouver. Edmonton was a distant fourth with just 36 sightings.
Over the years, most sightings have occurred between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. Last year, they lasted an average of 16 minutes. The most common descriptions from survey respondents were “starlike” objects, distant lights, and “simple lights in the sky.” The year with the most UFO reports was 2012, with 1,981. It also happened to be the year when the Mayan calendar predicted the world would end.
The report says sightings of “Hollywood-style flying saucers are, in reality, relatively uncommon in UFO reports.”
But they do exist.
In May 2015, a “metallic sphere descended from high in the sky” in Drummondville, Que., and came close enough for the witness to see “the reflection of the ground on its surface,” the report says.
A month before that, a witness in Brantford claims to have spotted a “large object that was a cross between a boomerang and egg” above the tree line. It displayed “flashing white lights … and two stripes of blue light running … along its underbelly.”
The report suggests some possible explanations for the sightings spike: more secret military flights, it’s easier to report sightings, and the lousy economy led “to an increased desire by some people to look skyward for assistance.”
There has been much talk nowadays about inter-dimensional worlds, especially what with the Large Hadron Collider in CERN officially being fired back up recently to go hunting for them. Whilst we are all considering where the Aliens could be coming from and IF other dimensions are actually a fact rather than Fiction, along comes this VERY important piece of evidence courtesy of the F.B.I!
And this is a very true story people, the FBI admitted that we have been visited by“beings from other dimensions” and the official link from the FBI vault can be foundhere
To be fair it is very surprising that the FBI have shown such a vast amount of interest in the whole study of the UFO phenomena?! But is it really that surprising when people have been reporting UFO sightings pretty much since the beginning of time, no not really!
I guess it could even be possible that there are a lot of science fiction movies that are actually based on real events, or as some may even call them “leaks” to the general public, given by the government in order to deliberately raise awareness among the population? Subconsciously planting that seed into all of our brains that the Aliens truly are with us!
Back in 2011 after there were some important documents which had been “declassified” a report written by a special agent of the FBI in 1947 reached the public.
This particular FBI special agent, who was a lieutenant colonel whose identity has remained anonymous because of “national security” had gathered numerous amounts of data on the UFO phenomena after interviewing and studying the phenomena for many years.
According to some of these exciting yet slightly bizarre unexpected reports and“Declassified” documents, we have been visited by numerous extra-terrestrial beings, some of whom, are not only from other planets beyond our own, but also from other dimensions.
Apparently some of these Alien beings originate from an ‘ethereal plane coexistent’ within our physical universe. These incredible “entities”, that apparently can “materialize” on our very own planet appeared as huge ‘translucent figures’.
Please see below a transcript of some of the most important details of the report that you all need to know about:
1. Part of the disks carry crews, others are under remote control
2. Their mission is peaceful. The visitors contemplate settling on this plane
3. These visitors are human-like but much larger in size
4. They are not excarnate Earth people, but come from their own world
5. They do NOT come from a planet as we use the word, but from an etheric planet which interpenetrates with our own and is not perceptible to us
6. The bodies of the visitors, and the craft, automatically materialize on entering the vibratory rate of our dense matter
7. The disks posses a type of radiant energy or a ray, which will easily disintegrate any attacking ship. They reenter the etheric at will, and so simply disappear from our vision, without trace
8. The region from which they come is not the “astral plane”, but corresponds to the Lokas or Talas. Students of osoteric matters will understand these terms.
9. They probably can not be reached by radio, but probably can be by radar. if a signal system can be devised for that (apparatus)
Addendum: The Lokas are oval shape, fluted length oval with a heat-resistaning metal or alloy not yet known the front cage contains the controls, the middle portion a laboratory; the rear contains armament, which consists essentially of a powerful energy apparatus, perhaps a ray.

UFO Ohio? Black ‘flying saucer’ captured in eerie footage (VIDEO)
UFO Ohio? Black ‘flying saucer’ captured in eerie footage (VIDEO)
A UFO, resembling a black “flying saucer” was caught on camera in a spooky video, taken while a father and daughter traveled on an Ohio highway.
The pair were traveling near Chillicothe, Ohio, when the mysterious object appeared, unbeknown to them.
It was only later when the daughter, who was recording aimlessly, looked through her phone’s videos and spotted the strange object in the right corner of the video, flying above the trees.
She showed it to her father, who sent it to Secureteam10, a group that specializes in 'UFO' sightings and conspiracy theories.
The group posted the video to their YouTube page and analyzed what the possible spacecraft could be, noting “odd pins sticking out of it” and its state of hovering just above the treeline.
They ruled out the possibility that the “saucer” could be a drone due to its large size.
YouTube commenters had somewhat different views and many were quick to dismiss the object as an indication of alien life form.
“Doesn't anyone other than myself see that this is a reflection on the windshield?” one user wrote.
Another left a simple explanation, saying, “raindrop, it's a cloudy day.”
(CNN)It's enough to make Mulder and Scully seethe with envy.
Nearly 130,000 pages of declassified Air Force files on UFO investigations and sightings are now available in one place online.
Declassified government records about UFOs have long existed on microfilm in the National Archives in Washington, DC. Many of them also live on websites devoted to the topic, sometimes free, sometimes not.
But UFO enthusiast John Greenewald says his database, Project Blue Book Collection, is the first to compile every single declassified document from the Blue Book project -- headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio from 1947 to 1969 -- in one place for anyone to search or download for free.
The collection consists of files from Project Blue Book, Project Sign and Project Grudge, the names given to official investigations into unidentified flying objects by the United States military.
Greenewald's efforts are not motivated by a close encounter or personal experience with unidentified flying objects. He says he's just driven by curiosity.
"I'm a history buff. I think this stuff should be accessible," he said. "Secrets are not bad things; I think we should know about this and it should be in history books."
Greenewald started requesting information related to Project Blue Book through the Freedom of Information Act 15 years ago. His interest was piqued by the first case he received information on about a 1970 UFO incident in Iran, after Project Blue Book ended.
"It defied explanation," he said, "and 5,000 FOIAs later my curiosity hasn't gone away."
Still, Greenewald believes the contents are "just the tip of the iceberg."
"It's all a puzzle," he said. "Just when you think you've got all the pieces to make a picture, you realize it's only a piece of a bigger puzzle."
The Blue Book project was discontinued after a joint review concluded that no significant information had come from it, according to declassified documents on the National Archives website.
Specifically, the review said no UFO "reported, investigated and evaluated" ever gave "any indication of threat to our national security." Nor did the investigations suggest that the sightings "represent technological developments or principles beyond the range of present-day scientific knowledge," a 1985 Wright-Patterson fact sheet said.
"Since Project BLUE BOOK was closed, nothing has happened to indicate that the Air Force ought to resume investigating UFOs."
Greenewald is not so sure -- especially not after viewing all the documents, which are full of blacked-out material.
If the U.S. military can't identify some unidentified flying objects, then who can, he wonders? And what are they?
"The biggest takeaway for me is don't believe the company line," he said. "I think something big is going on. How big, I don't think anyone will know for quite some time because government continues to make the rules.
"It's a hard game to when they make the rules and they're the referee."
An artist’s rendering illustrates what a hypersonic missile could look like as it travels along the edge of Earth's atmosphere.Raytheon
The US has reportedly created a new missile as part of the Pentagon's development of hypersonic technology. But the US military has insisted that the weapons will carry conventional missiles rather than nuclear ones, as the arms race with China and Russia grows more intense.
The new missiles – according to information released on 13 April – will reportedly fly at five times the speed of sound (3,800mph) and make them virtually impossible to detect using radar. Researchers are still working on manoeuvre techniques and developing ways of being able to fully control the weapons.
The Pentagon's Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency (Darpa) has spent over $34m (£48m) on hypersonic aircraft and weapon projects. Hypersonic aircraft would be able to fly at between five to 10 times the speed of sound.
New nuclear fears
In an article titled The Problem With The Pentagon's Hypersonic Missile, published by Defense One, three hypersonic projects – including the Lockheed Martin Falcon Hypersonic Technology Vehicle 2 program, the Raytheon Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC), and the Raytheon/Lockheed Tactical Boost Glide – are being examined over whether they would remain conventional weapons, or whether they would spurn the other military superpowers, China and Russia, into developing more nuclear weapons.
The concerns are that hypersonic missiles will allow the US to launch nuclear weapons that could strike targets at longer ranges, in less time than conventional ballistic missiles require, and move so fast current missile defence systems and fighter jets could not intercept them.
Reports suggest that the new generation of missiles can switch between two modes: scramjet –which uses air flowing at supersonic speeds through its engine to further accelerate the missile – and a "boost glide" system – this would extend the range of missiles by making them 'skip' across the Earth's upper atmosphere.
The Pentagon says that the new Hypersonic missile technology would be used in conventional weapons only, but the technology's capabilities are making other nations 'nervous'. (Reuters)
"Hypersonic weapons can be more survivable because of the extreme speed and high altitude. They would be hard to stop,' said JR Smith, director of Raytheon's Advanced Land Warfare Systems.
"At this point, our hypersonics program is really a technology development program, purely focused on 'conventional' payloads, said Stephen Welby, assistant defense secretary for research and engineering at The Pentagon. "There's nothing in the budget related to modelling, researching, or exploring nuclear-armed hypersonics.
"It's 2020 for the missile, 2030…. until you get into something that's refurbishable and probably 2040 until you get into something that's a totally reusable type of capability."

A119: The US secret project to detonate a nuclear bomb on the Moon
A119: The US secret project to detonate a nuclear bomb on the Moon
Why would the US ‘nuke’ the moon?
Called “Project A119“, it was one of the most secret projects whose existence has long been denied until recently when declassified documents about the project were released to the public.
The Project referred to as A119, also known as “A Study of Lunar Research Flights,” was a highly secret plan developed in 1958 by the United States Air Force with the intention of detonating a nuclear bomb on the lunar surface. It is presumed that the purpose of this study was to demonstrate the superiority of the United States in relation to the Soviet Union and the rest of the world during the Cold War while scientifically speaking, it was meant to answer numerous questions in planetary astronomy and astrogeology.
Full details of the study were presented by Dr. Leonard Reiffel, who led the project in 1958 from a research foundation financed by the United States Army. Carl Sagan joined the research team responsible for the investigation of theoretical effects of a nuclear explosion in low gravity. Sagan revealed his participation in the plan in 1959.
“Project A119” was never carried out, probably because the landing the first man on the moon would contain a better reception from the US population, than detonating a nuke on the moon, which would have kickstarted a space militarization Era. However, another crucial detail was mentioned by project leader Leonard Reiffel when he warned that of detonating such a device on the lunar surface would create a lunar nuclear fallout, which eventually could cause major problems in future lunar research projects and colonization.
The documents proving the existence of “Project A119” remained hidden from the public for about forty-five years. Moreover, despite the disclosure of the files in the early 2000s, the US government has never officially acknowledged its involvement in the investigation. A former executive at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Leonard Reiffel who led “Project A119” in 1958 revealed the existence of documents proving it was more than just conspiracy theorists at work.
During initial planning for the mission, researchers considered using a hydrogen bomb in the first place. However, the United States Air Force vetoed this idea since a Hydrogen Bomb would have been extremely heavy making it hard to transport to the moon. Instead, scientists decided to utilize a W25 Warhead, which is a smaller, lightweight warhead with a relatively low 1.7 kiloton yield.
The Soviet counterpart
According to later reports by the time the US had developed the plan to nuke the lunar surface, the Soviets had developed a similar project which differed from the scenario reported by media. Started in January 1958, it was part of a series of proposals under the codename “E”. Project E-1 entailed plans to reach the Moon while projects E-2 and E-3 involved sending a probe around the far side of the Moon to take a series of photographs of its surface.
LCROSS, NASA and bombing the moon
While the _United States Airforce might have put a hold on “Project A119“, NASA did bomb the surface of the moon for alleged ‘Scientific’ purposes.
Despite the fact that it is strictly prohibited, NASA released a ‘Centaur’ kinetic weapon which ultimately impacted the moon.
‘Officially,’ the main LCROSS mission objective was to explore the presence of water ice in a permanently shadowed crater near a lunar polar region. The mission was launched together with the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) on June 18, 2009, as part of the shared Lunar Precursor Robotic Program, the first American mission to the Moon in over ten years.

AURORA
Toni Wheeler holds fond memories of growing up in the rural town of Aurora, sitting on the porch of an elderly resident named Mr. Mayfield and listening to him tell about the time a UFO crashed into a windmill, killing a spaceman.
“He would tell us it did in fact happen,” said Wheeler, now the city administrator, recounting one of the highlights of her Wise County childhood in the late 1970s. “He said tons of people went rushing up there to the [crash] site, but they made all the kids stay back underneath the hill, because they were afraid it might have a disease.”
The legend of the 1897 crash of an alien spacecraft 27 miles northwest of downtown Fort Worth certainly put Aurora on the map — having been retold in books, movies and TV shows — although many residents would just as soon their community not be known for such a tale.
But many others — Wheeler among them — are ready to embrace the extraterrestrial adventure, and on Saturday they will host the first of what they hope will become an annual event known as the Aurora Alien Encounter.
At least 300 people are expected to turn out for the event at the relatively new MD Resort conference center, south of Texas 114 in the Wise County town.
The festivities are scheduled to include a day of talks with UFO researchers and authors, an alien laser tag competition and shuttle tours of both the residential area where the crash reportedly happened and the cemetery where the alien — nicknamed “Ned” by the City Council — was buried.
Reports of an alien crash
On April 17, 1897, a story attributed to Aurora cotton buyer S.E. Haydon appeared in The Dallas Morning News: “About 6 o’clock this morning the early risers of Aurora were astonished at the sudden appearance of the airship which has been sailing through the country.”
The story went on to explain that an aircraft smacked into a windmill just a few hundred feet north of what is now Texas 114 and crashed into a field.
Supposedly, the pilot was buried in the town cemetery.
The incident occurred six years before the Wright brothers’ first human flight at Kitty Hawk, N.C., and nearly 50 years before the much more famous unidentified flying object reportedly crashed in Roswell, N.M.
Today, the roughly 1,400 residents of Aurora are left to decide for themselves whether they believe the story. And it appears that they may never reach a consensus.
“Some of the older residents of this community, you could never change their mind about things,” said Dan McEntire, the city’s historic preservation officer. “A lot of people believe it and a lot of people don’t. It’s just what it is.”
Controversies
Several components of the Aurora incident make it a compelling, mysterious tale.
The plot in the Aurora Cemetery where the alien was supposedly buried was later dug up, and the body (if there was one) removed. An original stone marker with a UFO carved into it disappeared years ago, although today the location is marked with a nondescript, cigar-shaped boulder.
The windmill the spaceship reportedly hit is gone, but a now-closed water well at the base of the windmill still exists on private property near Texas 114.
Folks working on a History Channel show about the Aurora crash in 2008 opened the water well for the first time in about 70 years in search of wreckage that supposedly had been thrown inside. They found bits of metal, but tests on the material were inconclusive.
Chunks of metal hieroglyphics were reportedly found at the crash site, but their whereabouts are unknown.

Radar operators say UFO travelled 120 miles in 8 SECONDS in Britain's famed close encounter
BYJON DILLON
The astonishing first-person accounts from two witnesses of an actual phenomenon form part of a new documentary as seen in this intriguing trailer
Two former radar operators have revealed how a UFO travelled 120 miles in less than EIGHT SECONDS during Britain's most famous close encounter.
Ike Barker and Jim Carey have given their first in-depth interviews since the incident at RAF Bentwaters, in Suffolk - hailed as the world's best documented case.
They were on duty in the air traffic control tower when the unidentified target was tracked on radar during a spate of bizarre sightings in late December 1980.
On December 26, a small team of security police officers reported seeing a triangular shaped craft land in Rendlesham Forest, just outside the base.
And, two nights later, Deputy Base Commander Lt Col Charles Halt and several other USAF personnel observed strange flashing lights moving through the woods.

The military team watched in awe as the glowing object fired a beam of light on the ground before it flew away.
Meanwhile, reports came in over their radios that the UFO was firing beams into the weapons storage bunkers, which housed the biggest stockpile of nuclear missiles in Europe at that time.
Halt later filed an official report to the UK Ministry of Defence - dubbed the 'Halt Memo' - giving details about the case, which was released under the Freedom of Information Act.
However sceptics have debunked the sightings as satellites, meteors or the Orfordness lighthouse a few miles away.
But speaking in a new documentary called UFOs and Nukes: The Secret Link Revealed, the retired USAF air traffic controllers say the craft they tracked was not man-made.

RAF Bentwaters has long been talked on, and Ike Barker and Jim Carey are shining a light on the truth
Ike Barker said: "It wasn't like any radar target I've ever seen.
"It was travelling at an extremely high rate of speed. It passed over the control tower and then it stopped. I've never seen anything like the maneuverability that happened with this object.
"It was orange in colour and it popped into my mind that somebody was flying a basketball out here. There were lights around the centre but not like navigation lights.
"It was more like portholes, as if you were seeing the lights from the inside coming out. It hovered momentarily, reversed its course and went back out a high rate of speed."

Carey, a tech sergeant with the 2164th Communications Squadron, said the unknown target made a sharp right angle turn at high speed before it left the area.
He said: "It was just phenomenal to see it go that fast. I said that can't be one of ours. No jet can make an immediate right hand turn."
The radar experts, who did not report the sighting to their superiors over fears it could ruin their careers, are among more than 150 military witnesses who have reported UFO activity at nuclear weapons laboratories, test areas, storage depots and missile sites since the 1940s.

Declassified US government and KGB documents from the former Soviet Union have also revealed how missile launch systems have mysteriously malfunctioned, causing panic among military chiefs during the Cold War.
American researcher Robert Hastings, who has produced the documentary and written a book on the ominous incidents, believes these incursions are a warning to humanity.
He said: "My opinion is that those who pilot UFOs are visitors from elsewhere who engage in provocative actions against American and Russian nuclear missile sites to send us a message that we humans are playing with fire - that to engage in nuclear warfare is essentially suicide."

Retired UK police detective Gary Heseltine, who now edits the UFO Truth ezine, said: "The testimony of the two radar operators should once and for all put to bed the ludicrous sceptical theories that the military personal were confused by the Orfordness lighthouse.
"Their testimony clearly highlights that UFOs were interested in the base and that beams were shone down into the nuclear storage bunkers.
"Every high school child, politician and university college student should be shown this documentary."
The new evidence has come to light as Hillary Clinton's campaign manager John Podesta told CNN News that the American people "can handle the truth" about UFOs

Stephen Hawking: There are ‘others out there’ however, we will not find Aliens anytime soon
Stephen Hawking: There are ‘others out there’ however, we will not find Aliens anytime soon
While many people it is not a question whether Aliens exists in the universe, there are others who believe we might not find our cosmic neighbours at all. According to theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, humanity will not find intelligent alien species anytime soon.
This Week, Professor Hawking, Russian Billionaire Yuri Milner and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg presented the most ambitious Alien-hunting mission in the history of Mankind. Called ‘Breakthrough Starshot’, the project costs over 100 million US dollars which will be wisely spent to create the sophisticated nano-spacecraft.
In the conference, a group of researchers together with Professor Hawking and Yuri Milner detailed a project that aims to send a fleet of tiny spaceships into space to the neighboring star system Alpha Centauri in search for extraterrestrial lifeforms.
However, in addition to the incredible project that will change space exploration forever, the audience wanted to know more bout Aliens, and specifically, when scientists might discover them.
Professor Hawking took some questions from reports in advance so that he would have time to prepare the answers.
One of the most interesting comments made by Professor Hawking was about Alien life. Hawking said that it was very unlikely that scientists will find intelligent alien lifeforms in the next twenty years. “The probability is low, probably,” he said.
However, he continued talking about alien life.
“The discoveries of the [NASA] Kepler mission suggest that there are billions of habitable planets in our galaxy alone,” Hawking said. “There are at least a hundred billion galaxies in the visible universe, so it seems likely that there are others out there.”
In the past, Professor Hawking discussed alien life and how he believes an intelligent alien species might threaten our civilization. During the Breakthrough Starshot conference, Hawking was once again asked what humanity should do if we all of a sudden discover intelligent alien life, professor Hawking’s answer was, “We should hope that they do not find us.”
Others seem to share the views of Professor Hawking. Jill Tarter, astronomer, and co-founder of the SETI Institute said that if aliens visit our planet, they could take control of everything thanks to their clearly superior technology. However, Tarter added that aliens capable of finding Earth may be co-operative…
“If they showed up on our doorstep, that means they have technologies that are considerably advanced with respect to ours.” “And because of that, they are going to be the ones that set the rules,” Tarter said in an article published by TechCrunch.
This neutral-benevolent attitude of extraterrestrial visitors has already been proposed by scientists in different countries based on thorough analysis of extensive historical and modern documents.
Along the same lines, Dr. Nathalie Cabrol, a colleague of Tarter, said in September last year that an alien civilization might be trying to contact us, but humans could be “too primitive to see those signs.”
Moreover, as the great Carl Sagan once said… “The universe is a pretty big place. If it is just us, seems like an awful waste of space.” ― Carl Sagan in Contact

Powerful Signal Triggered by Supermassive Black Holes has ‘ Alien ’ Written All Over it
Powerful Signal Triggered by Supermassive Black Holes has ‘ Alien ’ Written All Over it
A bizarre space anomaly has recently been noticed by astronomer. They’ve stumbled over a place in the universe where a number of supermassive black holes have mysteriously aligned and are now sending extremely powerful radio bursts throughout space. Researchers who detected this bizarre phenomenon asserted that such an event has never been captured before, and they are now debating about what could be causing all this.
“Since these black holes don’t know about each other, or have any way of exchanging information or influencing each other over such vast scales, this spin alignment must have occurred during the formation of the galaxies in the early Universe,” explained Andrew Russ Taylor, director of South Africa’s Institute for Data Intensive Astronomy.
The team of astronomers was on the lookout for radio signals in the universe using data collected by the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) in India, when they first discovered the vigorous signal. The GMRT, which is one of the largest and most precise radio telescope arrays in the world, had just finished a three-year-old radio survey that gathered radio waves originating from black holes across several galaxies.
After closely analyzing the data received, they were surprised to discover this never-before-seen phenomenon, where each of the supermassive black holes located at the center of each galaxy were spinning in the same direction. So, what could be causing all this?
Opinions are now split among the researchers investigating this case, and while some of them consider an important event from the early stages of the Universe to be the cause, others are opting for a more recent and controversial cause.
“The alignment of the black holes is probably caused by an overall spin in the structure of this region of space, triggered by fluctuations of primordial matter in the early Universe, way before galaxies even formed,” said Yasmin Tayag in a report for Inverse.
The scientific explanation is vaguely describing the source of this unusual alignment, but at least there is one thing the team mutually agrees upon – an extremely powerful source must have caused the fluctuations that sequenced the black holes to spin the same way. Whatever this source is remains a topic for debate, but there are some who take into account the most exotic of possibilities.
“This is not obviously expected based on our current understanding of cosmology. It’s a bizarre finding,” said astronomer Romeel Dave from the University of Western Cape in South Africa in a recent press release.
In other words, this recent find has perplexed the scientific community, as the phenomenon cannot be explained using the means we have at our disposal. There is much room left for speculation, and judging by the excitement shown by the researchers, I wouldn’t be surprised if they would announce that super-advanced aliens are causing this unusual sequencing.
After all, the probability of supermassive black holes being inhabited by higher beings had already been explored by Russian cosmologist Vyacheslav Dokuchaev from Moscow’s Institute for Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
“Interiors of supermassive black holes may be inhabited by advanced civilizations living on planets with the third-kind orbits,” he wrote in a paper published in Cornell Univeristy’s online journal. “We could live inside a supermassive black hole eventually, but super-aliens may have already beaten us to it,” he concluded.
With sensitive telescopes such as the South African MeerKAT radio telescope and the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) already on the way, it’s likely that the source of all this meticulous space menace will be revealed in the near future. If they’ll detect an exotic species or only a rational phenomenon we are yet to find out, but the scientist in charge of the research seems absolutely amazed of this particular find.
“We really need MeerKAT radio telescope to make the very sensitive maps, over a very large area and with great detail, that will be necessary to differentiate between possible explanations,” said Taylor who is leading the investigation. “It opens up a whole new research area for these instruments, which will probe as deeply into the and as far back as we can go – it’s going to be an exciting time to be an astronomer.”

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Speaks About Extraterrestrial Civilizations
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Speaks About Extraterrestrial Civilizations
In addition to numerous other politicians, Russian Deputy Primer Minister Dmitry Rogozin has openly spoken out about extraterrestrial civilizations, while claiming that Russia does not hide information on UFOs and Alien life. Is society being prepared for disclosure?
According to Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, the Russian government does not hide any information about contact with unidentified flying objects.
In an interview, Rogozin spoke out about extraterrestrial civilizations and that the search for intelligent life elsewhere in the universe is one of the main objectives of the Russian Space Agency reports RIA Novosti.
‘One of the greatest scientific, and mankind’s dilemmas is whether or not we are alone in the Universe. Whether somewhere out there is another intelligent civilizations. Given the infinity of space and time, anything is possible,” said Rogozin.
The deputy prime minister also added that the Russian government does not hide any information about contact with unidentified flying objects, suggesting that the Russian government has nothing to hide when it comes to Alien contact.
Earlier this year in January, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) published hundreds of declassified documents about UFOs and extraterrestrial life. Most of the files contain images of the 40s and 50s and belong to the digital archive of the agency. While the CIA has not revealed any information about whether or not the agency or the United States Government has established contacts with extraterrestrial beings, the declassified files show the seriousness with which the US government treated these phenomena.
In the last couple fo years, UFO enthusiasts were able to take a peek at countless declassified governmental files about UFOs, and unexplained contact with mysterious flying objects.
Last year, former astronaut Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man to walk on the moon claimed that military chiefs saw Extraterrestrial vehicles observe nuclear weapons test in the New Mexico White Sands in 1945.
The former Astronaut argued that extraterrestrial beings intervened in the Second World War preventing a catastrophic nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union. Mitchel also claimed that ‘they’ had shot down test nuclear missiles preventing both nations from entering into a nuclear conflict.
He said: “They wanted to know about our military capabilities.
“My experience talking to people has made it clear the ETs had been attempting to keep us from going to war and help create peace on Earth.
“Other officers from bases on the Pacific coast told me their missiles were frequently shot down by alien spacecraft.”
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin is one of the many governmental officials who have discussed alien life in recent times.
In 2013, Russian Primer Minister Dmitry Medved was believed to have inadvertently confirmed the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life, in a short interview while away from network cameras:
„I tell you the first and last time. Together with a nuclear suitcase the president has a folder, which is top secret and devoted entirely to the report by the Russian secret service which handles the control of extraterrestrials in our country. After the term, the two folders and a small nuclear suitcase are transferred to the new president. How many of them are among us I cannot say because panic might begin.“
The 1970s was the one period, more than any other, in which the monster-hunting community focused on the controversial Bigfoot/UFO connection. Or, depending on your perspective, the lack of connection. Indeed, today, the vast majority of Bigfoot investigators are highly intolerant of the idea that there might be a link between cryptid apes and aliens. Although, I definitely recommend Stan Gordon’s 2010 book, Silent Invasion, which is an excellent study of Bigfoot and Fortean high-strangeness in 1970s-era Pennsylvania. And, it was also in the seventies that the fascination for the UFO-Bigfoot link spilled over into the domain of fiction.
The Six Million Dollar Man was one of the most popular television series of the 1970s. It starred Lee Majors as astronaut Colonel Steve Austin who, while test-flying a new, prototype aircraft, suffers a severe accident in which he loses both of his legs, his right arm, and his left eye. It could have spelled the end of any kind of meaningful life for Austin. Except for one thing: thanks to the work of a secret government agency – the Office of Scientific Intelligence (OSI) – Austin is rebuilt, using sophisticated robotic technology called bionics. In short, he becomes a cyborg: a half-human, half-machine, long before Robocop was on the scene. The long-running series was an immediate hit with the viewing public. And it provoked a spin-off show, in 1976, The Bionic Woman(starring Lindsay Wagner).
“The Secret of Bigfoot” was a two-part Six Million Dollar Man adventure that aired in February 1976. It was, and still is, one of the most popular of all. The story is set in the heavily forested mountains of California – from where a great deal of real-life sightings of Bigfoot have been made. From the outset, the tale is shrouded in intrigue. A pair of geologists, monitoring earthquake activity in the area, have vanished. The OSI, under Steve Austin’s boss, Oscar Goldman (actor Richard Anderson), is working with the geologists, Ivan and Marlene Bekey. As a result, Austin soon plays a leading role in the quest to find the pair. And particularly so when huge, human-like footprints are found in the area.
While Marlene remains missing, Ivan turns up, in a condition of near-hysteria. He is not the only one who turns up. A huge Bigfoot (played by wrestler, Andre the Giant) is soon on the scene, too, and launches a violent assault on Austin’s and Goldman’s encampment. It’s during the attack that Austin wrenches off one of the arms of the hairy monster, which reveals it to be not a flesh and blood animal, but a highly sophisticated robot. We also learn that the Bigfoot is controlled by a group of aliens, who have a secret installation built inside one of the huge mountains.
Austin soon becomes a victim of alien abduction, in which he discovers that Marlene and Ivan were attacked because they had inadvertently uncovered evidence of the alien base. Even worse, OSI’s studies in the area show that the entire West Coast is about to be hit by a devastating earthquake, one that could potentially kill millions. The only available option is to detonate, underground, a small atomic device on the fault line, thus preventing the quake from occurring. Unknown to Austin, the aliens try and prevent the atomic explosion from taking place, since they believe – correctly – that it may also destroy their mountainous, secret abode.
In the final scenes, we see that the atomic explosion does indeed prevent the catastrophic earthquake from occurring. As suspected, however, it also causes major damage to the extraterrestrial facility. We also see Ivan and Marlene reunited. As a result, Austin – with help from Bigfoot, no less – gives the aliens assistance in repairing the damaged parts, and systems, of their base. Careful to ensure that the truth of the alien presence, and of the real nature of Bigfoot, remains hidden, the visitors from beyond wipe out Austin’s memories of the bizarre and near-catastrophic events. Bigfoot is once again the enigma that it always has been.
Such was the success of this particular story, Bigfoot was brought back, in September 1976, for another two-part story: “The Return of Bigfoot.” Again, the focus was on aliens, Sasquatch, and underground bases. To help boost ratings on The Bionic Woman, part-two of the story became the opening episode of the new series of that particular show, in which Austin and the bionic woman herself, Jaime Summers, clash with both ETs and Sasquatch. Andre the Giant, however, was replaced by Ted Cassidy (Lurch, inThe Addams Family), who, in 1977, took on the role yet again, in a one-off episode titled “Bigfoot V.” For fans of The Six Million Dollar Man, “The Secret of Bigfoot” remains a firm favorite. However, it probably makes more than a few Bigfoot-seekers cringe, and particularly so those rigidly in the “Bigfoot is just an unknown ape” camp.

EXCLUSIVE: 'Plain proof' - 'UFOs' snapped over London are the 'real deal'
EXCLUSIVE: 'Plain proof' - 'UFOs' snapped over London are the 'real deal'
A SERIES of snaps of odd lights captured over the capital are likely to be "proof alien space crafts flew over London", two seasoned UFO investigators have sensationally claimed.
Scott C Waring, a self-style ufologist with a following of tens of thousands online, and Tony Topping, who has appeared on TV as a UFO expert, concluded pictures of bright lights in the skies around Tower Bridge and Canary Wharf were probably emitted by flying saucers or other extra terrestrial crafts.
They studied the photographs after they were shown to them by Express.co.uk.
We sent the images taken in March to five established UFO investigators for their feedback as part of an investigation into why so many images of bright lights or other anomalies are being hailed as proof of alien visitations by so-called online UFO experts.
The images were, in fact, just photographs of planes leaving or descending to London City Airport taken by an Express.co.uk reporter from the roof of the Northern & Shell building in Lower Thames Street at night last month.

The resulting pictures, which were unedited, appeared as blobs of light, similar in appearance to many of the alleged UFO captures which have previously been hailed as strong evidence for alien visitations.
They were sent to the UFO experts, who were not informed they were pictures of planes, to investigate what conclusions they would reach.
Two of the experts concluded they were likely to be conventional aircraft, while another, a former Ministry of Defence UFO investigator added they could also be Chinese lanterns or crane lights.
However, Mr Waring and Mr Topping deduced that aliens had probably flown over London.

These were their verdicts:
Scott C Waring is a US ex-pat living in Taiwan and editor of website UFO Sightings Daily.
The site has daily updates on alleged UFO footage and other alien-related posts.
He regularly claims to have obtained conclusive proof aliens exists in his blog posts and appears to be a firm believer that they, not only visit Earth regularly, but have underground bases here:
He said: "I tried to see if I could alter the photo to make out a helicopter or wings, but there is nothing there.
"It's not a helicopter and it is not a plane. It is not a drone, because it is much too big, it looks car sized.
"It does look like it is two separate glowing objects that are flying together. When I put them in negatives format, I can see it has no other structure but the glowing light around it.
"No drone can do that. This has a high probability of being a UFO.
"London is a city that has preserved hundreds of years of architectural marvels. The beauty of those old structures could easily draw the attention of aliens. They seem to be highly interested in learning about human history."

Tony Topping [YouTube]
Tony Topping, 45, from Selby, North Yorkshire, is a UFO expert who tours conferences and gives interviews on TV and radio.
He claims to have first had an alien encounter aged two and to be monitored by security services.
He said: "It is quite surreal. I had a dream about UFOs over this location a few months back.
"These images are pretty good. For your interest the MoD did a document called Project Condign funded to the tune of ££s the conclusion was in some cases that plasma discharge was responsible for this type of UFO.
"Turn your attention to the Indian Press a few years ago and appearing in the India Daily was all kind of surreal information about UFOs. Real unusual as if an information leak was occurring from some kind of think tank and it was getting into the press.
"The conclusion was the UFO is alien and might be a bio plasma type craft, they were detecting them with sonic booms. the craft is self replicating and intelligent.
"I point this out to you as I find the contrast of information about this type of UFO interesting between two countries.
"As for me I do think it is a UFO non human in origin. I have no doubt in my mind more will be seen in that area."

Nick Pope, 50, worked for the MoD from 1985 to 2006, and between 1991 to 1994, investigated the potential threat of alleged UFOs.
Now based in the US, he tour conferences and comments on the subject in the press.
He said: "These don't strike me as being particularly spectacular and I suspect that what we're looking at here is either aircraft or helicopter lights, a Chinese lantern, or even a light from one of the cranes, reflected onto low cloud - which can occur in certain meteorological/atmospheric conditions.
"Zooming in with pictures like this can be counter-productive, because one loses resolution and distortions increase, leading to a misleading impression that something is more structured than is, in fact, the case."

Italian Scott Brando, 40, runs website ufoofinterest.org which exposes hoax UFO sightings and reports. He set out to find evidence of aliens, but after investigating thousands of cases, says there has not yet been an alien craft captured on film.
Mr Brando initially asked for more on the location and timing of the sighting before saying simply: "In my opinion they are navigation lights by planes."
He also provided a graphic showing how to identify aircraft lights at night including an image which looked like one of those we sent out.

Nigel Watson [Nigel Watson]
Nigel Watson, 61, from Plymouth, Devon, is an author of several UFO books, including the UFO Investigators' manual, which explains how to carry out the research.
He does not believe that a photograph has yet been taken of an alien craft.
He said: "Since the images are out of focus and the motion of the lights is hard to determine.
"Even without that information I'd say the lights from an aircraft - these consist of a green light on the right wing tip and a red light on the left wing tip along with three bright white landing lights.
"If it is not on a steady course it could be a helicopter or even a drone carrying lights."
Before publishing we contacted each of the experts for their reaction to our findings.
Mr Watson said knee-jerk assumptions were muddying the water for real UFO investigators.
He said: "There are ufologists who are quick to brand anything unusual seen or photographed in the sky as evidence of an alien spacecraft visiting our planet.
"On the other hand, there are sceptics who are equally quick to brand any UFO sighting or report as rubbish and come up with a suitable 'explanation' for them, which later proves as unlikely as the alien theory.
"What we need to do is look at each case on its own merits before making a knee-jerk reaction."
Mr Brando added: "Unfortunately, the trend is to establish or assume that any visible light in the sky is of alien origin.
"It happens all over the world. I live in Italy and here too there are many self-proclaimed UFO researchers who, for their own interests, prefer to give an unconventional explanation because it's more fascinating, attracting more readers of books, magazines.
"People have no interest to listen who speaks about aircraft lights (planes, helicopters) or chinese lanterns, nor to buy hypothetical books about lens flares, satellites and birds mistaken for UFOs.
"As long as these self-styled ufologists prepend their interests to serious UFO research, the UFO phenomenon will always be treated as a joke."
Mr Topping said: "My experiences are based on accurate footage I have filmed and analysis of that footage the UFO you sent me reminded me of sightings in Vietnam and of the Project Condign research.
"it is correct that I had brilliant visions of UFOs in the Canary Wharf area. I do wonder if some are plasma discharge.
"Based on that one wonders why there is an anything but syndrome to deny the existence of them by journalists.
"Mistakes do happen of course but you have to walk in another's shoes to know that my conclusions are based on some very strange experiences.
"And so here I am nursing a pint kicking myself that, I did not know the difference between a UFO and a plane on approach and take off but I shall forgive myself.
"You can become obsessed with it and the world of UFOs is a journey to hell.
"I don't know if I have answered your question but behind the scenes there is a brutal secrecy the public do not see and journalists far too busy taking the Mickey, not that you are I think your on a quest to find the truth - the trauma the UFO experience causes is complex."
In his book, Dr Ellis Silver points to a number of physiological features to make his case for why humans did not evolve alongside other life on Earth
A U.S. ecologist has claimed that humans are not from Earth but were put on the planet by aliens tens of thousands of years ago.
Dr Ellis Silver points to a number of physiological features to make his case for why humans did not evolve alongside other life on Earth, in his new book.
They range from humans suffering from bad backs - which he suggests is because we evolved in a world with lower gravity – to getting too easily sunburned and having difficulty giving birth.
Dr Ellis says that while the planet meets humans’ needs for the most part, it does not perhaps serve the species’ interests as well as the aliens who dropped us off imagined.
In his book, HUMANS ARE NOT FROM EARTH: A SCIENTIFIC EVALUATION OF THE EVIDENCE, the ecologist writes the human race has defects that mark it of being ‘not of this world’.
‘Mankind is supposedly the most highly developed species on the planet, yet is surprisingly unsuited and ill-equipped for Earth's environment: harmed by sunlight, a strong dislike for naturally occurring foods, ridiculously high rates of chronic disease, and more,’ he told Yahoo.
Dr Ellis says that humans might suffer from bad backs because they evolved on a world with lower gravity.
He also says that it is strange that babies’ heads are so large and make it difficult for women to give birth, which can result in fatalities of the mother and infant.
Dr Ellis says that humans might suffer from bad backs (illustrated) because they evolved on a world with lower gravity. He also says that it is strange that babies' heads are so large and make it difficult for women to give birth, which resulted in fatalities in earlier times
No other native species on this planet has this problem, he says.
He also believes humans are not designed to be as exposed to the sun as they are on Earth, as they cannot sunbathe for more than a week or two – unlike a lizard – and cannot be exposed to the sun every day without problems.
Dr Ellis also claims humans are always ill and this might be because our body clocks have evolved to expects a 25 hour day, as proven by sleep researchers.
‘This is not a modern condition; the same factors can be traced all the way back through mankind's history on Earth,’ he says.
He suggests that Neanderthals such as homo erectus were crossbred with another species, perhaps from Alpha Centauri, which is the closest star system to our solar system, some 4.37 light years away from the sun.
He also believes humans are not designed to be so exposed to the sun as they are on Earth, as they cannot sunbathe for more than a week or two ¿ unlike a lizard ¿ and cannot be exposed to the sun every day
THE 'EVIDENCE' TO SUGGEST HUMANS CAME FROM SPACE SO FAR
Bad backs suggest humans evolved in a world with lower gravity
Sunburn hints humans were not designed to be exposed constantly to the sun
The size of babies' heads present a problem for women when giving birth - difficulty not shared by other species on the planet
Humans are always ill, perhaps beacuse their body clocks have evolved to expect a 25 hour day - unlike Earth's
People just feel like they are not at home on our planet
Dr Ellis said many people feel that they don’t belong and feel at home on Earth.
‘This suggests (to me at least) that mankind may have evolved on a different planet, and we may have been brought here as a highly developed species.’
‘One reason for this … is that the Earth might be a prison planet, since we seem to be a naturally violent species and we're here until we learn to behave ourselves,’ he said.
Dr Ellis said the book is intended to create debate, instead of being a scientific study and hopes it will lead to people getting in touch with him with further suggestions of 'evidence'.
While other scientists have said some bacteria arrived on Earth from space, Chris McKay, an astrobiologist at NASA, said that to jump to the conclusion that it is alien life is ‘a big jump’.
Was this home? Dr Ellis suggests Neanderthals such as homo erectus were crossbred with another species, perhaps from Alpha Centauri. Star Proxima Centauri is pictured in the star system, which is the closest to our solar system some 4.37 light years away from the sun
Professor Wainwright from the University of Sheffield plans to investigate further, and believes that life is constantly arriving from space that did not originate on Earth.
Dr Ellis says that while his idea is an extreme evolution of that idea, it is intended to be thought-provoking and he claims to have had a largely positive response to it.
He is interested in whether humans came to Earth separately, perhaps by arriving on meteors and comets, before evolving into the species we know today.
‘My thesis proposes that mankind did not evolve from that particular strain of life, but evolved elsewhere and was transported to Earth (as fully evolved Homo sapiens) between 60,000 and 200,000 years ago,’ he says.

There is another Sun and human civilization Inside the Earth
There is another Sun and human civilization Inside the Earth
For several years the scientists preserved the secret of the shocking data of interpretation of photographs of our planet from space. In the ice of the North Pole area a huge hole could be clearly seen.
Soon a similar hole was discovered in Venus. Astronomers were shocked and questioned if these planets are hollow inside and what they have in their cores.
New Physics, new Geography
Russian Physicist Fedor Nevolin became famous after composing the theory of "New Physics". In other words, he explained the birth of the Earth in a different way.
First our planet was a huge cold lump wandering in the Universe. Being influenced by the Sun and the Universe energy, it was heated up to lava state and then started cooling up.
The crust covered the Earth. Meanwhile, the stuff under the crust continued boiling turning into gas, Nedelin believes. Gas expands when being heated. In the core of our planet hollow space aroused, and a part of gas went outside.
Big gas throwing out took place in the North and South Poles. Deep big holes aroused there.
Nedelin is sure the Earth is absolutely hollow inside and can even have a small Sun there.
The Sun energy penetrates there through the holes in the Poles and accumulates in the center.
If one supposes that the Earth is hollow inside and has its small Sun, there can be life as well.
This idea was indirectly confirmed by the report on an American high rank military commander to the North Pole. The report was made secret, and its details became known to the world press only recently.
The man who flew inside the hole.
In 1947 Vice-Admiral of the US Navy Richard Bird went for a research flight over the North Pole. Near the Pole he noticed an unusual spot colored in mixture of yellow, red and violet.
On approaching the spot the pilot could see something like a mountain chain. Bird flew over it and saw (this was his first impression) a mirage v forests, rivers, meadows with animals resembling mammoths.
He could also see weird flying machines and - a city with buildings built from rock crystal. He realized himself to be a second Columbus discovering a new continent! The air thermometer scale began lifting and stopped at +23 degrees Celsius. This was impossible for the North Pole. Radio for the connection with the air base did not work.
Bird's wife who read his register for the flight, told that Vice-Admiral contacted the representatives of the underground civilization who overtook us for one thousand years of development.
The inner planet surface residents resembled people in appearance, but were more beautiful and had the look of spirituality. They had no wars, they found new sources of energy which allowed to use vehicles engines, receive food and light from nothing.
Those people told Bird they tried to contact the outer surface of the Earth residents, but all their attempts were rejected, their flying machines were shot. Finally they decided to assist human beings only when they will be on the brink of self-destruction.
"Inner" Earth residents showed Bird all their civilization achievements and then escorted the pilot to the Pole hole to let him out to our outer word. On return home he discovered that the plane used the fuel for extra 2750 kilometers of flight.
The authorities recommended Vice-Admiral never tell anybody about the world he saw and put him under strict control for the rest of his life.
It appears that Snowden has testified about a well-known legend of Agartha in the form of UFO information.
Snowden’s testimony was as follows:
“The highest levels of government don’t know what to do about UFOs, and the official story that they are all merely weather balloons or natural phenomena has been clearly dismissed. If anything, these documents speak about UFOs as if they are surely guided by an intelligence beyond our own. As it turns out, the most credible and inexplicable sightings are of vehicles that have been spotted leaving the sea floor at hydrothermal vents and directly entering solar orbit.
“Because ballistic missile tracking systems and deep-sea sonar are kept as state secrets, scientists don’t have access to data about these objects. However, most of the contractors at DARPA are sure that there is a species more intelligent than homo sapiens living in the mantle of the Earth. It makes sense, if you think about it, because that is the only place where conditions have been more or less stable for billions of years. Extremophiles may live at different temperatures than us, but they have been able to thrive and develop intelligence at a seemingly accelerated rate. That’s not true, because they’ve simply evolved at the same rate, but without many of the vicissitudes which set back surface life . . .
“The president receives daily briefings about their activities. Analysts believe their technology to be so far advanced that we stand little chance of survival in any potential war. The general sentiment is that we are but ants from their perspective, so there is little chance they would empathize or attempt to communicate with us, and the current contingency plan is to detonate nuclear weapons in deep caverns to ‘sting’ the foe we have no hope of destroying in hopes it would discourage further attacks.”
Critics may allege that what the 30-year-old former NSA and CIA contractor can state with authority about our ultraterrestrial neighbors is already well-known. But the Ground-Penetrating Radar, or GPR, scans, which The Internet Chronicle has shared and confirmed with sources within intelligence community, will only serve to underscore popular bitterness over strategically timed earthquakes and tsunamis.
Just as PRISM shined a new light on goings-on in NSA’s ECHELON computer systems, revealed in the 1990s, the vast complexes of underground cities – laser-etched from pure diamond – apparent in the GPR scans will transform public debate about the balance between liberty and security.

Alien Abduction - the Inside Story
Alien Abduction - the Inside Story
New Scientist, 19 November 1994, 29-31
Note this is an unedited version. It may be slightly different from the published version
The outer door slammed shut and a deathly hush descended on the tiny soundproofed room. Half an hour in here, lying in a kind of dentist's reclining chair, might have seemed a restful prospect - except for the converted motorcycle helmet on my head. Embedded in either side of it, just above my ears, were sets of solenoids. Soon these would be delivering pulses of a magnetic field designed to mimic the firing patterns of neurons in the temporal lobes of the brain.
Welcome to the laboratory of Michael Persinger, a neuro-scientist at Laurentian University of Sudbury, Ontario. Persinger has long claimed that mystical experiences, out-of- the-body excursions and other psychic experiences are linked in some way to excessive bursts of electrical activity in the temporal lobes. It is known that people vary in what is called "temporal lobe lability''. People with high lability have very ''unstable'' temporal lobes with frequent bursts of electrical activity that can be seen on an EEG (electroencephalograph). Such people tend, he claims to be anxious and judgmental as well as artistic. People with low lability, by contrast, rarely show bursts of activity in their temporal lobes and are much less imaginative.
Researchers don't need expensive EEG tests to measure temporal lobe lability. Instead they can use questionnaires designed to test a wide range of experiences and beliefs, from deja vu to headaches. In a series of studies of this kind, questioning about several hundred people in all, Persinger has found that people with high lability more frequently report sensations of floating, flying or leaving the body as well as mystical and psychic experiences. At the extreme end of the scale are people with temporal lobe epilepsy Their temporal lobes produce the violent, synchronized electrical activity associated with seizures - and sometimes they too report deja vu, mystical feelings, odd sensations or hallucinations just before a seizure.
One final connection may be that abnormal temporal lobe activity can occur in response to a lack of oxygen. Persinger is one of several scientists who have argued that this is why people who come close to death experience tunnels, lights and sensations of leaving the body.
In the end, however, these observations are nothing more than correlations They don't prove that neural activity in the temporal lobes causes psychic experiences -or even that it is an effect of psychic experience. What has been missing is a direct demonstration that specific experiences can be created by specific firing of neurons in this part of the brain. Hence the soundproofed room, helmet and magnetic pulses. Persinger believed that by applying magnetic fields across the brain he could cause bursts of firing in the temporal lobes - bursts just like those associated with the odd experiences. If he could produce the experiences this way, the link with the temporal lobes would be certain.
The reason I was willing to subject myself to this procedure was not just idle curiosity The BBC's science programme Horizon had asked me to investigate the origin of the latest American craze in crazy experience - abduction by aliens. The details vary. Not everyone claims to have been taken from their bedroom. Some report abductions from their cars or in the street. And many abductees, although not all, say that they saw children or babies while they were "away". Despite that, the stories are more remarkable for their consistency than their differences. A typical report might run as follows.
"I woke up in the middle of the night and everything looked odd and strangely lit. At the end of my bed was a 4 feet high grey alien. Its spindly, thin body supported a huge head with two enormous, slanted, liquid black eyes. It compelled me, telepathically, to follow and led me into a spaceship, along curved corridors to an examination room full of tables on which other people lay. I was forced to lie down while they painfully examined me, extracted ova (or sperm) and implanted something in my nose. I could see jars containing half-human, half-alien fetuses and a nursery full of silent sickly children. When I eventually found myself back in bed, several hours had gone by."
Some abductees recall their experiences in full detail, but for many the "memories" emerge only when they take themselves to a therapist for hypnotic regression. These tales are easy to mock. Why do the aliens always pick Americans? How come they are clever enough to teleport through walls, and to read and erase our memories - but all we have to do to defeat them is a little hypnosis? And if they really put implants in people's noses, how come these always seem to be sneezed out?
Mind works
Maybe abduction accounts are merely the delusions of the disturbed or the mentally ill. This is easy to counter. Studies of abductees have shown that they are of at least average intelligence, from a wide range of social classes and show no particular signs of mental disturbance or pathology. So what is the explanation? Are alien abduction stories telling us sometime about the way the mind works?
The fundamental question for neuroscience is the precise relationship between subjective experience and neural firing. In some cases things are relatively simple. A flash of light, for example, produces a cascade of electrical responses at the back of the cortex, while listening to someone speak produces a burst of activity in the left hemisphere. Far less obvious, though, is how patterns of brain activity produce complex subjective states - such as the sensation of having been abducted by an alien.
Things are complicated by the fact that some abductors only ''recall'' their experiences under hypnosis. Maybe the hypnotists implanted the ideas, creating "memories" of things that never happened. This takes us to the broader issue of false memories (see "When memory plays us false", New Scientist, 23 July). The key thing here is that ''false memories" are not so different from "true memories''. In a sense, all memories are false. There is no tape recorder in the brain. Rather, research suggests that we use stored information to reconstruct accounts of past events When we retell those events, it is easy to recall our own retelling more clearly than the original experience - even if we've exaggerated it a bit along the way. How, then, can we decide which memories were "real" and which imagined? There is no magic way to the right answer, and some theorists think it just depends on how readily available an image is. If it is clear and detailed and easy to bring to mind, it will be remembered as "real".
When memory is seen this way the phenomenon of false memory seems less bizarre. Take recent experiments by Elizabeth Loftus, a psychologist from Seattle, Washington. She invited volunteers into her laboratory and tried to implant in them the "memory'' of being lost in a shopping mall as a young child. The subjects had never actually been lost this way (as far as anyone knew) but their relatives took part by 'reminding'' them of the event. Afterwards the subjects ''remembered'' the events clearly and, even when Loftus tried to debrief them, some remained convinced that it had happened.
What does this tell us about alien abductions? First, we must not be diverted by the red herring of hypnosis. Not all abductees are hypnotised, and "false memories'' can be created without hypnosis. If you come up with a fantasy of an abduction, then you may well recall it as though it is real whether or not hypnosis is involved.
However, false memory cannot be the whole story. In general, we are quite good at distinguishing fantasy from reality, in spite of the blurred edges, and we do not create false memories entirely out of the blue. Even if false memory plays a role in alien abduction episodes, wouldn't there have to be some kind of core event to build the fantasies around? If so, what might this event be?
One suggestion is sleep paralysis. During normal REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, when the majority of dreams occur, the skeletal muscles are paralysed. This is presumably so that we do not act out our dreams, as animals have been shown to do when the brain centres controlling sleep are suppressed Normally, we are unaware of this, but occasionally we can become mentally alert while the paralysis persists. Waking up this way can be extremely unpleasant. Yet it is quite common, surveys show that about 20 per cent of people have experienced sleep paralysis at some time or another.
Trying to move - and failing - makes it worse and often provokes the sense that there is someone or something trying to squash, strangle or suffocate you. Sexual arousal during dreams is common and may add a particularly powerful edge to the experience.
Some cultures have built elaborate myths around sleep paralysis. Fabled demons, the incubus and succubus, come to have sex with their unwilling victims in the dead of night, and during the Middle Ages many a virgin or nun was reputedly visited by the evil incubi who came to tempt them. In myths common in Newfoundland, the Old Hag comes and presses on sleepers' chests, suffocating them and preventing them from moving. And the hill people of Laos and Vietnam talk of a Grey Ghost who paralyses victims in the dark.
Alien abductions may just be a modern equivalent of a sleep paralysis myth. It makes sense that in late 20th century Western culture the spaceship and the alien would form its basis. But why the odd lights and other consistent features?
Eerie lighting is common in another kind of sleep disturbance - the false awakening - in which you dream you have woken up. Although you are convinced you are awake, things don't look quite right and familiar objects can seem lit from within. In this state anything is possible because you are still dreaming, but the apparent familiarity of the environment means that the experiences are more likely to be interpreted as real. This is one variety of what Celia Green, a parapsychologist with an independent laboratory in Oxford, refers to as a "metachoric experience'' where the perceived world is replaced by an imagined replica.
A link between sleep disturbance and apparent abductions is lent some support by the research of the late Nicholas Spanos and his colleagues at Carleton University in Ottawa. They compared groups of people who had had intense UFO experiences, such as abduction, with those who had had less intense experiences and found that the former were more often related to sleep.
Floating or flying
But even if sleep phenomena are part of the answer, that doesn't explain the sense of being taken away bodily, of flying or floating and going on a journey. Enter Persinger and his idea that abduction-like experiences are caused by complex patterns of atoms in the temporal lobes. He argues that people with very labile temporal lobes will naturally have such experiences from time to time. These are particularly likely to occur during sleep and so these people might easily wake up with odd bodily sensations and feelings of floating or flying.
In addition, magnetic effects from earthquakes could be strong enough to set off the necessary firing. To test this he looked for, and found, a strong link between the dates of seismic events and claims of UF0 sightings, abductions and other strange phenomena from past centuries. Nor can hysteria and fear be the sole explanations, he argues. Reports of strange experiences peaked in the weeks and months before earthquakes, says Persinger, when magnetic changes might have been happening, but little else to suggest an imminent seismic event.
Those who believe that abductions really happen have tried to counter this theory by showing that abductees do not score higher on measures of temporal lobe lability. But arguments have raged over whether enough people were tested, and whether their experiences were really abductions. Now, in a bid to settle the issue, Persinger is turning to direct simulations. And this is where my experiences in the lab chamber come into the picture.
I was wide awake throughout. Nothing seemed to happen for the first ten minutes or so. Instructed to describe aloud anything that happened, I felt under pressure to say something, anything. Then suddenly my doubts vanished. "I'm swaying. It's like being on a hammock.” Then it felt for all the world as though two hands had grabbed my shoulders and were bodily yanking me upright. I knew I was still lying in the reclining chair, but someone, or something, was pulling me up.
Something seemed to get hold of my leg and pull it, distort it, and drag it up the wall. It felt as though I had been stretched half way up to the ceiling. Then came the emotions. Totally out of the blue, but intensely and vividly I suddenly felt angry - not just mildly cross but that clear-minded anger out of which you act - but there was nothing and no one to act on. After perhaps ten seconds, it was gone. Later, it was replaced by an equally sudden attack of fear. I was terrified - of nothing in particular. The long term medical effects of applying strong magnetic fields to the brain are largely unknown, but I felt weak and disoriented for a couple of hours after coming out of the chamber.
Of course, I knew that it was all caused by the magnetic field changes, but what would people feel if such things happened spontaneously in the middle of the night? Wouldn't they want, above all, to find an explanation, to find out who had been doing it to them? If someone told them an alien was responsible and invited them to join an abductees' support group, wouldn't some of them seize on the idea, if only to reassure themselves that they weren't going mad?
One last thought. Persinger applied a silent and invisible force to my brain and created a specific experience for me He claimed that he was imitating the basic sequences of the processes of memory and perception and that, by varying those sequences, he could control my experience. Could he have done it from a distance? Could it be done on a wider scale? Suddenly prospects of magnetic mind control seem an awful lot worse than the idea of being abducted by imaginary aliens.
