BRITISH COP WITNESSES TALL WHITE ALIENS INSPECTING FRESH CROP CIRCLE
BRITISH COP WITNESSES TALL WHITE ALIENS INSPECTING FRESH CROP CIRCLE
According to a story circulating in the UFO and alien conspiracy theory blogosphere, a British Police Sergeant had an encounter with Tall White Aliens on July 6, 2009. The aliens were allegedly inspecting a freshly-made crop circle in a field in Wiltshire, England, when the police officer, who was off-duty at the time, encountered them.
The mystery of the incident was reportedly compounded by the refusal of Wiltshire Police to comment when contacted by local UFO and paranormal investigators. A police spokesperson reportedly said the authorities could not comment on the incident because it was a “personal matter,” according to the paranormal blog Tales from Out There.
“The police officer was apparently off duty when this happened so we have no comment to make because it is a personal not a police matter.”
The unnamed Wiltshire Police officer was driving past a field when he saw strange-looking men walking in the field. He had a “strange feeling” about the appearance of the “men” from afar, so he stopped his car to investigate, Express reports.
As he walked towards the field, he saw three tall men with long blond hair, all more than six feet tall. The men were walking slowly in the middle of the field as if they were searching for something or inspecting the crop. Because the men were dressed in white overalls, he thought they could be forensic officers investigating an incident in the field.
When he reached the side of the field, he heard a crackling sound similar to the “sound of static electricity.” The strange sound seemed to be running through the field and the crop moved in ripples with the crackling noise.
He raised his voice to draw the men’s attention, but they ignored him and refused to look up. But as soon as he entered the field, they looked up and appeared agitated.
And as he approached, they suddenly took to their heels.
The strange men, according to the officer, “ran faster than any man he had ever seen.”
“I’m no slouch but they were moving so fast. I looked away for a second and when I looked back they were gone.”
The crackling noise continued spreading around on the field as the strange-looking men ran away. The officer noticed they ran with an odd gait.
Unnerved by the strange encounter, he hurried back to his car and drove back to Marlborough in Wiltshire.
“I then got scared,” he said. “The noise was still around but I got an uneasy feeling and headed for the car.”
He reported the incident to his superiors but they did not take his story seriously. He continued to have an uneasy feeling all day, with a pounding headache.
“For the rest of the day I had a pounding headache I couldn’t shift,” he said.

Determined to get to the bottom of the mystery, he contacted Andrew Russell, a local crop circle expert. Russell investigated the incident with the help of a colleague identified as Colin Andrews.
“At first he thought they were forensic officers as they were dressed in white coveralls,” Russell wrote in a report summarizing the officer’s experience. “He stopped his car and approached the field.”
“The figures seemed to be inspecting the crop,” he continued. “When he got to the edge of the field he heard what he believed to be a sound not dissimilar to static electricity.”
“This crackling noise seemed to be running through the field and the crop was moving gently, close to where the noise was,” he added.
“He shouted to the figures who, at first, ignored him… When he tried to enter the field they looked up and began running.”
The investigators said they were convinced the officer’s account was truthful.
“I am quite convinced the officer had an experience that day and one that we have not fully explored,” Russell wrote.
According to Russell, the witness’s description of the tall men matches the appearance of Tall White Aliens. The crop circle experts concluded after investigations that the aliens were inspecting crop circle created a few days before.
Who made the crop circle remains a mystery. Russell could only guess the crop circle carried a coded message that the Tall White Aliens were trying to decode at the time the police officer saw them.
When the investigators contacted the Wiltshire police, the authorities refused to comment. They insisted the incident was a “personal matter” and that the police authorities were not investigating the strange claims.
The incredible story sparked discussion on Scott C. Waring’s UFO Sightings Daily blog.
According to Waring, the police officer’s claim that the strange men moved oddly could be explained by the structure of the legs of Tall White Aliens. Tall White Alien legs below the knees have a shape similar to a dog’s, Waring claimed.
“The police officer says that they moved oddly, which they do, because the shape of their leg (from the knee down) actually goes opposite direction from ours,” the alien hunter commented.
But, according to Waring, Tall Whites are able to mingle with humans unnoticed because they use advanced technology to disguise their appearance.
“Some kind of holo-emitter makes [their feet] appear human like, but they still cannot mask their odd walk,” Waring wrote.
Alien conspiracy theorists claim that Tall White Aliens concluded a trade agreement with the U.S. government in the 1950s. The treaty required the U.S. government to provide certain mineral resources the aliens needed in exchange for access to advanced aerospace technology needed to run Pentagon black projects.
It is claimed that a community of Tall White Alien scientists, engineers, and technicians live in an underground base at the Nellis Air Force Base, a few miles outside Las Vegas.

Illinois UFO described as five orbs inside bright light
Illinois UFO described as five orbs inside bright light
An Illinois witness at Lake County reported watching and photographing a bright light UFO that appeared to have five smaller orbs inside of it, according to testimony in Case 81037 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness noticed a bright light in the sky at 5:30 p.m. on December 18, 2016.
“Thought it was a star or planet, but then it started flashing and then started moving more to my right,” the witness stated. “Thought it was a satellite, but thought it was too large to be one.”
The witness then used a cell phone and zoomed in on the object.

“I saw a big orb with five little orbs inside. I tried to take a video, but it was too far out there to zoom in on for a video. I kept looking at it through a zoomed picture and it kept breaking up into five smaller orbs, then three, then two, and then reassembled itself into one big orb. I then noticed an orb by it detach itself and then sporadically went left of the orb and then vanished. The object was in my sight for about two hours and then slowly vanished behind the treeline of my house.”

The witness uploaded five images with the MUFON report, which was filed on December 18, 2016. Illinois MUFON State Section Director James Wolford investigated and closed this case as an Unknown.
“The complex structure and behavior of the object rules out natural phenomena,” Wolford stated in his report. “This was something artificial with technology that may be beyond man-made construction. My disposition for this case is Unknown – Other.”

Some additional Rendlesham documentation from the US Air Force
Some additional Rendlesham documentation from the US Air Force
Background
In the summer of 1984, the year after the Rendlesham Forest UFO incident first hit the headlines, the celebrated American broadcaster Chuck de Caro produced a documentary on the Rendlesham case for the US Cable News Network (CNN). At that time, Captain Victor Warzinski was the Public Affairs Officer for the twin bases of Bentwaters and Woodbridge and as such was responsible for answering de Caro’s research inquiries. Warzinski’s written responses, obtained by researcher Peter Robbins and released publicly in 2014*, add interesting insight into official knowledge of the Rendlesham case on the twin bases.
Telexes from the Public Affairs Office at Bentwaters
Warzinski’s replies to de Caro’s inquiries consist of three telexes: one three pages long dated 21 August 1984 and headed “Interim feedback, CNN queries”; the second of five pages, dated three days later and headed “CNN queries”; and a third consisting of two pages dated 6 November 1984 and headed “CNN queries, RAF Bentwaters UFO incident”.
The questions were forwarded to Warzinski by the headquarters of the US Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) at Ramstein Air Base, Germany. Warzinski replied to Ramstein, with copies to the USAF’s UK headquarters at Mildenhall, Suffolk. Hence these telexes amount to internal USAF correspondence between Bentwaters and Ramstein. Copies were kept in a file at the Public Affairs Office at Bentwaters along with other correspondence concerning the case. Copies of de Caro’s original questions were sent to the MoD by the British base commander, Squadron Leader Donald Moreland, and form part of the MoD Rendlesham file (DEFE 24/1948/1), but the MoD left the USAF to provide answers.
Even back in 1984, less than four years after the events in the forest, Warzinski was hard-pressed to find any documentation about the incident, but he did report as follows.
1. In Telex 2, pages 2 and 4, Warzinski says that the disaster preparedness branch, which deals with nuclear and biochemical incidents, had no reports or records of the event. [My comment: Sergeant Nevels, the geiger counter operator with Halt’s party, was a member of the disaster preparedness department but evidently never wrote up his findings for the record and the whole episode remained unofficial.]
2. In Telex 1, page 2, Warzinski tells us that a letter on file from the (unnamed) OSI commander at the time of the incident says that “OSI did not do any investigation”. In Telex 2, page 4, Warzinski further states “OSI informs they were not informed of the incident. Did not investigate or compile a report.” In Telex 3, page 1, Warzinski emphasizes the same point: “No one was later interviewed by OSI as they did not conduct any investigation.” [My comment: OSI is the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations. This denial of any official investigation, of course, does not preclude some unofficial inquiries being made out of personal interest but there is certainly no evidence for the massive OSI interrogation of witnesses that some have claimed.]
3. In Telex 1, page 2, Warzinski quotes a letter from Col Cochran, the commander-in-chief of the base at the time of the incident, saying “no audiovisual documentation was done, nor was any report or investigation initiated by the USAF”. Elsewhere Warzinski acknowledges that he knows of Col Halt’s tape recording but says he regarded this as Halt’s personal property and did not ask for a copy of it.
4. The files also contain a letter dated 9 November 1984 to an inquirer addressed as Mr Bateman in which Warzinski explains: “Colonel Halt’s report makes specific mention of the type and strength of the radiation readings. However, it should be understood that these reported readings fall within the range of normal background radiation counts.” Hence it is clear that no one on the base at the time regarded the radiation readings obtained by Col Halt’s team as anything out of the ordinary.
5. In a letter to researcher Mark Birdsall dated 30 July 1985, Warzinski tartly notes: “We do not have any unknown vehicles stored underground at Bentwaters. Indeed, there are NO underground storage areas on either of the twinbases.”
Warzinski sums up the Rendlesham Forest Incident
Throughout the files, Warzinski’s bemusement at the public interest in what to him was evidently a non-event comes through clearly. Warzinski summarized the situation better than he knew when he wrote to Mark Birdsall in August 1984 wondering: “Was it simply an unexplained incident blown completely out of proportion, like the fisherman’s tale of the ‘one that got away’ that keeps getting bigger and bigger with each retelling?” He could scarcely have realized how big this tale would eventually get.
* Warzinski’s telexes and other correspondence from the Public Affairs file at Bentwaters are contained in Part 2 of Peter Robbins’s Special Report for Phenomena magazine. They can be seen on pages 109–116 and 121–122. The letters to Mark Birdsall are on pages 117 and 128. Congratulations and thanks to Peter Robbins and Stephen Mera of Phenomena magazine for making these valuable and little-known USAF documents publicly available, which helps us to form a more complete picture of the official response to the incident.
This looks like a plane, flying away from the camera considerably higher than the helicopter (somewhere around 15,000 to 25,000 feet), that briefly creates an aerodynamic contrail.
Based on analysis by @Trailblazer, @Trailspotter, myself, and others, There are likely TWO planes involved IB6830 and LA330. The plane that initially seems to fit best is LA330, a two engined A320, which was reported to be climbing through 20,000 feet at that exact visual position at 14:01:39. It was actually 65 miles away, not 35-50. This explain why it was not seen on radar (the actual plane was on radar, just not where they thought it was)
The second plane is IB6830 which left earlier, and was climbing out more to the south, nearer to the helicopter. At the time this was spotted (the very first sighting on the video, at 13:52:34) the plane was actually around 35 miles away. However it would very quickly get further away. By 13:57 it would be 65 miles away.
Plane Finder misreports the altitude in the web browser, likely because of some zero altitude ADS-B report. Inspecting the actual data packets reveals the real reported altitude. Repairing the data by interpolating the missing altitudes allows us to recreate 3D tracks in Google Earth with correct timestamps (attached). (Update 1-10-2016: Added Flightaware track)
We can now geolocate the LA330 and the other candidate (plane IB6830) in the helicopter image. Their tracks intersect in the region viewed in IR, they have correct slope, and appear in that region at the same time as they appear in the video.
And it is not simply that the tracks intersect. The planes are in exactly the right position. We can position both the planes and the chopper precisely with the GPS data, match the camera direction from the wide shot, and the position of the plane then matches exactly.
The two large blobs are flared images from the heat of the engines (much smaller in reality). You can see this effect with some candles if you view them from a distance.
The flaring is more apparent if you look at it uninverted. The engines appear as two very bright lights
The aerodynamic contrail starts ands stop in a similar way to the trail in this video (not a "chemtrail" though, this just a regular aerodynamic contrail)
There are a few different relevant images from the video:
This is a close-up of the object early in the video:
This shows that the plane is banked at this point - i.e. it is turning to the right (remember it is flying away from the camera). This matches the earlier part of the track for both LA330 and IB6830 (and is likely IB6830, based on the time). Compare it with this video of a plane taking off. It is much closer, however at the end of the video you see the two engines tilted at about the same angle as the "UFO" while the plane turns right.
At one point (9:08) they switch between the IR camera and a regular (visible light) camera. you can see the trail qute distinctly. It looks very like a contrail.
Why is it showing up as warmer? Aerodynamic contrails can form in air is that is water saturated, but in which no clouds have yet formed. The drop in pressure increases the relative humidity enough for a water condensation cloud to form. This can also freeze if the temperature is cold enough.
There's a couple of possibilities. Possibly we are seeing a water cloud aerodynamic contrail that has absorbed heat from the exhaust, temporarily making it warmer than the surroundings.
But a more likely possibility is that the dense contrail is simply reflecting heat. FLIR measures the temperature of things by the heat they emit, so if they are reflective then they can give a misleading reading. Clouds reflect heat, in one shot in the video the clouds seem like the same color as the jet exhaust (black). That does not mean they are the same temperature:
A few seconds later
[Note: this top post will be updated with information from the discussion below, so some of what follows may seem repetitive]
[Note on change from just LA330 to mostly IB6830 - I had originally identified the entire sequence as LA330 when I was working with only the image of the planes tracks from Planefinder.net. After I was able to extract the actual 3D tracks and view them from the position of the Chopper in google earth, it became apparent that IB6830 was the better fit (pretty much a perfect fit). However it did not fit the last short sequence, which still was best explained by LA330]
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: If it was a plane then why did it not respond to hailing A: A pilot familiar with Santiago departure responds:
Q: Why did it not show up on radar? They were looking for a low flying object south of the airport about 35 miles away, by the time they looked it was at a high altitude and 65 miles away.
Q:How can it be a contrail cloud if it's as hot as the engine? A: It's not as hot as the engines, it's a similar color in the IR to other clouds in the images. It's just a denser cloud, and so reflects more radiation. Even if they were dumping boiling water it would have been atomized into a cloud cooled to ambient temperature in less than a minute. But this looks just like a contrail.
Q: Don't contrails only form above 30,000 feet? A: That's where exhaust contrails are most frequent. However this appear to be a semi persistent aerodynamic contrail which often form on climbing aircraft between 20,000 to 30,000 feet (and sometimes lower).
Q: Why should we trust your theory over the experts? A: I could argue I'm an expert too (at identifying planes and contrails), or that the CEFAA is really a UFOology group, or that even experts make mistakes. However let's drop that "Argument for authority", and look at facts you can verify yourself.
We have some very solid verifiable evidence in
The helicopter video with timestamps and GPS coordinates.
The IB6830 and LA330 ADS-B tracks with timestamps and GPS coordinates.
1 matches 2 in every way
The planes in the right place at the right place
They are going in the right direction
IB 6830 banks when the "UFO" banks,
The planes would create a visual thermal signature the same size as in the video.
The size of IB6830's thermal signature shrinks proportional to its distance, matching the video.
This is not my theory. These are verifiable facts that I (and others) simply discovered. Unless there was a UFO flying between the plane and the helicopter, mimicking the motion, the banking, the size and and the thermal signature of the plane, then it's a plane.
The UFO sighting captured in the video occurred in 2014, when a Chilean naval helicopter captured 10 minutes of infrared footage of a mysterious craft from an estimated distance of 35 to 40 miles. But the blockbuster moment comes around minute eight of the footage, when the UFO releases a spurt of hot chemical vapor, projecting an immense black streak (indicating heat) across the frame.
Released by the Comité de Estudios de Fenómenos Aéreos Anómalos (CEFAA), a Chilean government agency within the civil aeronautics directorate, the original report by independent journalist Leslie Kean (author of the excellent book UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go On The Record) noted a possible explanation for the UFO raised by UFO video analysts Antoine Cousyn, François Louange and Geoff Quick of Ipaco.fr:
“The French analysts proposed that the object was a ‘medium-haul aircraft’ coming in for a landing into the Santiago airport, and ‘the effluent trail observed on two occasions probably results from dumping some cabin waste water, forming a plume oriented along the local wind blowing from the west.’ They based this on their calculation that the distance between the two hot spots was ‘consistent with the standard distance between the two jet engines of a medium-haul aircraft.’”
The IPACO conclusion is portrayed as unlikely and refuted at length:
“Chilean experts knew that this would have been impossible, for a number of reasons: This plane would have been seen on primary radar; it would have had to be cleared for landing in Santiago or at another airport; it would likely have responded to radio communications. Airplanes do not throw out water when landing. In fact, in Chile a plane wishing to eject any material must request permission from the DGAC before doing so; that regulation is widely known and respected. And, it seems unlikely that this experienced pilot would not have recognized this as an airplane, or at least kept that option open afterwards if it were a possibility.”
But while the original article makes the dissenting report seem faintly ridiculous, even condescending to the work of CEFAA, additional analysis by independent researchers at Metabunk.org authoritatively backs up the report’s conclusion: the Chile UFO video is likely footage of flight LA330, flying approximately 800 miles north from Santiago to the Cerro Moreno Airport.
Since the original report (available as a PDF here) is primarily a video analysis, little work was done beyond offering a plausible explanation for what’s seen on the video. This leads to the several deficiencies noted by Kean, including their conjectures regarding the vapor released by the UFO. However, Metabunk.org members Mick West, Trailblazer and Trailspotter uncovered a number of corroborating details that strengthen their case considerably.
Using publicly available data at planefinder.net, West and other Metabunk users uncovered two flight paths (LA330 and IB6830) that perfectly intersected the footage frame. They hypothesized that IB6830 accounts for the craft originally spotted by the pilots, but it’s LA330 seen in close-up in the video. But what about the other problems with the plane hypothesis, such as lack of radar confirmation and radio response?
According to their analysis, the biggest perceptual mistake was made when CEFAA and the pilots misestimated the craft’s distance. The flights they determined were responsible did show up on radar, just 15-30 miles further in the distance.
As for the craft not responding to a hail, here’s Metabunk user TWCobra, who claims to be a pilot familiar with Santiago departure protocols:
The helicopter seems to have tried to call on 121.5. The are a couple of problems with that, Most aircraft don't set that frequency until some time after takeoff which can vary from airline to airline, and if they were listening, unless whoever was calling used their callsign, they wouldn't respond.
They even proposed a new explanation for the chemical cloud released from the UFO, one more satisfying than dumped cabin waste water. No, not chemtrails, but an aerodynamic contrail.
But while their specific answers to objections raised by CEFAA may or may not satisfy, the ultimate conclusion seems near inescapable. West concludes, “unless there was a UFO flying between the plane and the helicopter, mimicking the motion, the banking, the size and and the thermal signature of the plane, then it's a plane.” Since both the original UFO footage has timestamps and GPS coordinates that match the timestamps and GPS coordinates for flights LA330 and IB6830 there can be little doubt that this UFO has gone from unidentified to identified.

UFO crash lands at Sibford Schoo
UFO crash lands at Sibford School
Children return to school after Christmas break to discover a UFO has landed in the school grounds
A strange flying saucer-like craft has landed in the grounds of Sibford School near Banbury in Oxfordshire. Children returned after the Christmas break to discover that an unidentified flying object had crashed into their Forest School area
By the time the children arrived, the scene of the crash had been cordoned off with police tape and investigations are on-going as to how and why the space ship came to land at Sibford.
Junior School Head, Edward Rossiter said: “To say the children were surprised would be an understatement! We had received reports of strange sounds and flashes being seen in the sky overnight but the scene at the crash site and the size of the craft was incredible and really left the children in awe.”
Traditionally, Sibford Junior School marks the first half of the Spring Term with a creative curriculum where by all lessons are centred around a central theme.
In the past, topics have included Beneath the Waves and The Rainforest and, as luck would have it, the theme for 2017 is Out of this World!
Said Edward Rossiter: “I suspect it will take the children a good five weeks to really get to the bottom of what happened here!”

Talking Close Encounters
Talking Close Encounters
Mary Rodwell RN is the founder and principal of Australian Close Encounter Resource Network (ACERN). Since 1994 Mary has worked in private practice as a professional counsellor, hypnotherapist, metaphysical teacher, researcher, author, Reiki master, and international speaker. A thrice-published author in the field, Mary is recognised internationally as one of Australia’s leading researchers in the UFO and contact phenomenon.
She spoke with The Echo in the leadup to her keynote presentations at the Close Encounters Conference.
Mary, how did you come to be working in such a unique area?
I was working in private practice counselling when I was approached by a client who had heard I was open-minded and said that for this there are no support groups, for this they just think you are a loony. He proceeded to say that he and his family were having ‘visits from extraterrestrials’ and taken… he often woke up with marks and shaved areas on his body and his family were very frightened. He asked if I could help.
Fortunately I had read two books on this phenomenon. Abduction – Human Encounters with Aliens (former professor of Psychiatry at Harvard University) Dr John Mack, who believed those he worked with this experience, and Communion by author Whitely Streiber (who had extraterrestrial experiences throughout his life). This enabled me to be supportive and help the family. From that time I researched this phenomenon and now have worked with more than 3,000 cases globally.
When people ask you what do you do, what do you say?
I normally will just mention I am a counsellor and hypnotherapist. If they want me to share more I say I help people with their ‘anomalous’ paranormal experiences. If they ask for more information I say experiences where someone believes they have had contact or encounters with extraterrestrials
How do you deal with sceptics or people who are reticent to believe in alien abduction or contact experiences?
I suggest they become ‘informed’, as there is a huge amount of whistleblower evidence by credible military personnel, pilots, and even two presidents, Reagan and Carter, who have said they have seen UFOs. Every six minutes around the globe someone sees a UFO; they have been seen on footage taken by NASA. What it really says is that they are just uninformed.
As a therapist, did you ever consider that these experiences were delusions or some sort of projection?
No. As a counsellor one can easily tell when someone is being truthful and authentic. It is very obvious when someone is unstable or delusional. It can hardly be delusional when a whole family are having similar experiences even as young as four or five years. In some cases these people don’t even believe in aliens except their experiences leave little doubt that’s what they are experiencing. My clients range from MDs nurses, and social workers to psychologists (they know full well how this may sound) but they also know this is real.
What caused you to come to a point of view that these were ‘real’ experiences?
Video and photographic evidence (I will be showing images of craft at the Close Encounters conference). Marks on the body that appear after these experiences… these fluoresce under ultra-violet light. Implanted objects seen on X-ray and removed surgically and show magnetic anomalies. Ground EMF traces.
Missing time periods they cant explain. And major changes in the individual. For some it may create trauma such as PSTD; for others changes in lifestyle, focus on holistic lifestyles with heightened psi senses; they may write and draw unusual scripts and show healing abilities… this does not occur unless something very real has happened.
What are the commonalities in the stories that you have been told?
There are many patterns that evidence the experiences.
Sighting an anomalous bright light moving in a strange sequence in the sky, or a cigar- or saucer-shaped object etc.
waking up with a bright light/blue or white in the room at night and sensing beings/presences in the room
feel paralysed… aware of being taken somewhere…
aware of being in a room having medical procedures
waking up with marks, strange triangular dots, bruises and scars on the body
feeling very tired and exhausted the next day after the experience
wake up with nightclothes in strange places or outside with all the doors locked
find you are writing unusual scripts or drawings
become more psychic… may see people’s energy fields.
Is alien abduction and contact more common than we think… do some people just not tell because they’re worried someone will think they’re mad?
Correct. I believe there are probably thousands or even millions of people who are having contact/encounters but are too fearful of sharing their experiences because they will be judged as unwell, or attention seeking etc.
How can extraterrestrial contact transform your life?
In our latest in-depth surveys one and two (600 questions) with almost 3,000 surveyed and conducted by The Dr Edgar Mitchell Foundation for Research into Extraterrestrial Encounters (FREE) www.experiencer.org co chaired by Dr Bob Davis neuroscientist (another keynote speaker at Close Encounters Conference) and Dr Jon Klimo, former professor of psychology. Eighty-five per cent of those surveyed said their encounters had been positive, transformative and life changing. There are many reasons for this and I will explain why in my presentations at the conference. But simply these contacts expose people to information and experiences that change their understanding of themselves. They learn who they really are, why these beings are interacting with them, and how we are all connected.
In films I have seen, ET contact is generally negative and harmful, except of course for the gorgeous ET. Is this a common representation of life beyond the stars? Why is it presented like this? Can it be benevolent and positive?
Only 25–30 per cent of those surveyed said they had negative experiences; more than 75 per cent had loving and positive encounters. This is new information and I suspect it’s only the fear-based ones that catch public attention.
What do you believe ETs have to teach us?
I believe we are a hybrid species and intelligently designed with some DNA from the beings that are interacting with us. This DNA evidence of intelligent design I explore in my presentation. If they are our creators then of course they are still interacting and monitoring us. The children and adults speak of being taught a range of subjects on spacecraft and the origins of who we really are. Much of what we are taught as to our ancient history I believe is inaccurate; the ‘gods’ of old were extraterrestrials. The indigenous peoples know this as they also know our ancestors came from the stars.
What should we expect from your presentation at the Close Encounters Conference?
A panel that shares the FREE research data on what we have found on our surveys globally so far and how this information has changed how we understand contact with these intelligences.
I have been working on three Powerpoint presentations; one is for the Afterlife conference, which primarily shares stories from children and their encounters, which is in my second book The New Human that I am launching at the conference.
I have two presentations on Sunday and Monday; one is called Triggers of Consciousness and shows the many ways we are being awakened and activated by these non-human intelligences. Real footage of UFOs, whistleblower info, paranormal phenomena, orbs and strange artwork/scripts, languages etc that are expressed after contact with similar information coming from China…
Transformation:my final Powerpoint covers adults who have had such powerful ET contacts that have changed them forever. One is a molecular biologist; another a medical doctor. I show evidence in our DNA that we are intelligently designed and how this dormant DNA is being activated as we are evolving now.

Alien Surfaces at Infamous Santa Monica's UFO Wreckage?
Alien Surfaces at Infamous Santa Monica's UFO Wreckage?
NEW YORK, NY - JANUARY 01: Confetti falls throughout Times Square during the New Years Eve celebration on January 1, 2013 in New York City. An estimated one million revelers from around the world endured long hours of cold weather to have a front seat to this year's star studded celebration.

It is always great and mysterious news when a UFO is seen or captured entering the realms of our world. They prove to be great experimental matter, and with every UFO that lands on earth, we gain more information on the extra-terrestrial world.
On New Year's day, a crashed UFO made its way to a Santa Monica alleyway where it lay broken near a couple of trash cans. Sources like SMObserved state that the alien occupant inside had left its broken down transport machine.
Not just that but a Christmas tree that was somewhere in the alley proved to be a great snack for the little fella'. Some say that the UFO must have been brought down by the incessant gun firing that took place over the skies of Texas.
And other reports state that it might be a 2-decade old NASA launch that faced malfunctioning and lost its way in space. Or maybe it was something awesome and new to start off 2017 right. And perhaps the latter could be true.
Tyron Osborne claimed to have witnessed a UFO lit aflame on the 28th of December, 2016 over the skies of Britain's Devon. Thankfully the 52 year old was aware this was a once in a lifetime discovery and he quickly grabbed his camera to record the moment. EastDevon24 has all the pictures.
That UFO which was seen over the port town, Exmouth in Devon was sighted by Tyron on Wednesday around 1 PM in the afternoon. Some say that the orbiting UFO may have been the same one that was seen over the UK. If not, then there is still one out there.
Although many people connect UFOs with aliens and ET life, that cannot yet be assured and certified. Because the evidence that is provided is so weak and of low quality, nothing can be assumed, calculated or even proven. Yet the hearts of many stay hopeful.
But that is not a hard and fast rule for many times out of this world evidence has come along with crashed UFOs. UrbanGhostsMedia has the truest and most shocking stories that have truly happened and there is no use denying it.
Do you think we are alone in the universe? If not, then have aliens visited earth? (Photo: Top5s/YouTube)
The good thing on reported 'UFO Landing Sites' is that these places became a hotspot for tourists because it is really a great place to travel to. UFO up to the present time still remains a mystery and total fantasy to everyone as there is no strong evidence to prove their existence most especially aliens.
Many places in the world have the advantage to their claim as 'UFO Landing Sight' as they relive the controversy in reality. Some places have even annual UFO-themed festivals and other adventures. Check out the list of place provided by CN Traveler:
Roswell, New Mexico- UFO landing site reported in the year 1947. The must-see ceremony in this place is the Roswell UFO Festival that is conducted during June 29- July 1. The festival features a 10k 'alien chase', light parade, UFO-themed art show, and a pet costume contest.
Elmwood, Wisconsin- UFO landing site in the late 70s. Extraterrestrial celebration in this place is conducted annually known as UFO days which features a parade, craft fair, and concerts. The region consists of less than 800 population and just outside the Twin Cities.
Area 51, Nevada- A military base wherein UFO sightings have been reported. Currently, the road leading to the base was declared as Extraterrestrial Highway. The place is actually remote but adventurers can and visit the town of Rachel, Nevada.
Kennedy Space Center, Canada- This is not a reported UFO landing site rather a place where questions regarding 'flying discs' are answered. NASA Headquarter provides footage of space lights wherein astronauts answers a person's curiosity about aliens. People who are fond of research for UFOs are recommended to go here.
Other sightings related to UFO landing which science- fiction lover wish to visit includes; Aurora (Texas), Mineral Lake (Washington), Kecksburg (Pennsylvania), and Gover's Mill (New Jersey). Many experts until the present time are subjecting their researchers to provide the existence of these UFO landing controversies.
A report from the Huffington Post talks about the bizarre giant symbols that are seen on Google maps near Roswell UFO Crash Site. The symbol is one prominent Buddhist symbol. Some believe that the symbol is a message from the aliens to humans regarding their entry in the territory. Meanwhile, some of Canada's beautiful places are endangered; dare to visit them before gone click here for full details.

Department of Homeland Security films UFO - Puerto Rico - 2013 - Official Government Footage
Department of Homeland Security films UFO - Puerto Rico - 2013 - Official Government Footage
Published on Jan 10, 2017
On 26th of April 2013 the Department of homeland security filmed a UFO that was flying over Puerto Rico.
The object in the video was captured by a thermal imaging camera on a DHS aircraft, and according to the researchers, it exhibits characteristics that cannot be explained by any known aircraft or natural phenomenon.
The video is overlaid with the sort of telemetry one would expect from a military or law enforcement thermal image video. It shows an object apparently moving very quickly over land and then into the ocean. It seems to be tumbling or changing shape. It moves over buildings, through trees, and eventually over the ocean. Then things get weird. The object appears to go in and out of the ocean without slowing down, and at the end of the video is either joined by another object or breaks in two.
“The object was between three to five feet in length and its speed varied between approximately 40 mph to 120 mph. Its median speed was roughly 80 mph.”
An interesting characteristic at the end of the flight was when it apparently submerged into the ocean, traveled for over half a mile, and then flew back out. “Its speed through the water reached a high of 95 mph and average 82.8 mph.”
A group of independant, skeptical researchers with backgrounds in various fields of science and technology released a 161 page document detailing their findings: http://media.wix.com/ugd/299316_9a12b...
A man was convinced he'd spotted a cloud hiding an alien spaceship after he noticed the surface appeared to be 'reflective'.
Anthony Sakowski was baffled by his discovery, which he spotted in the sky while driving in Arizona.
He films the strange saucer-shaped cloud for over two minutes while driving along a country road.
Alongside the footage, Anthony wrote: "Strange cloud hiding UFO . Reflected above."

He added: "UFO reflected on haze above."
Anthony published the video on YouTube on January 6 although the exact date and time of the sighting is unknown.
The clip has now been viewed more than 5,400 times.

Most viewers were convinced that Anthony had simply spotted a lenticular cloud , which are stationary lens-shaped clouds and have often been mistaken for UFO sightings.
But UFO hunter Scott Waring, of UFO Sightings Daily disagreed, saying: "The UFO was noticed when the sun lit it up and caused a disk reflection above it on the clouds.
"Only a metal reflective surface could do this, and, as you see, the dark area of the cloud is the actual UFO."

Chilean Navy still puzzled over UFO footage
Chilean Navy still puzzled over UFO footage
Its been almost three years since one pilot from the Chilean Navy caught footage of an unidentified flying object (UFO) in the country’s airspace, but the government body still could not put their finger around the situation.
The seemingly dubious craft—which was first sighted in November 2014 but was only shared to the public recently— was shot using an infrared camera during a routine coast patrol in broad daylight, according to The Huffington Post
The supposed UFO was hovering high in the clouds before emitting what seemed to be a type of gas as it cruised along.
After unsuccessfully trying to communicate with it multiple times, the pilot tracked the craft from around 40 miles and reported it to nearby radar stations.
Even more surprising was that neither of them were able to detect the ‘UFO’ on their screens, despite being completely visible to the nearby navy choppers.
More so, no other aircraft were authorized to fly in the area where the aircraft was sighted, the report said.
The UFO sighting incident has been the subject of a thorough investigation by the Chilean government agency, the CEFAA (Comité de Estudios de Fenómenos Aéreos Anómalos), for the past two years.
However, its officials remain clueless about the matter, even after questioning the pilots, air traffic controllers, and radar operators who witnessed the levitating object.
“We do not know what it was, but we do not know what it was not,” director of CEFAA, General Ricardo Bermúdez, described the complexity of the incident in the report.
The executive added that even their organization’s cream-of-the-crop could not identify nor give out possible suggestions regarding the obscure vehicle.
“I was very impressed by these witnesses. They were highly trained professionals with many years’ experience, and they were absolutely certain that they could not explain what they saw,” he said.
As of this writing, the CEFAA is still seeking help from expert groups to resolve the mystery. Khristian Ibarrola

1952 Washington D.C. UFO Incident
1952 Washington D.C. UFO Incident
The 1952 Washington D.C. UFO incident, also known as the Washington flap or the Washington National Airport Sightings, was a series of unidentified flying object reports from July 12 to July 29, 1952, over Washington D.C. The most publicized sightings took place on consecutive weekends, July 19-20 and July 26-27.
Events of July 19-20
At 11:40 p.m. on Saturday, July 19, 1952, Edward Nugent, an air-traffic controller at Washington National Airport, spotted seven objects on his radar. The objects were located 15 miles south-southwest of the city; no known aircraft were in the area and the objects were not following any established flight paths. Nugent's superior, Harry Barnes, a senior air-traffic controller at the airport, watched the objects on Nugent's radarscope. He later wrote:
"We knew immediately that a very strange situation existed ... their movements were completely radical compared to those of ordinary aircraft". Barnes had two controllers check Nugent's radar; they found that it was working normally. Barnes then called National Airport's other radar center; the controller there, Howard Cocklin, told Barnes that he also had the objects on his radarscope. Furthermore, Cocklin said that by looking out of the control tower window he could see one of the objects: "a bright orange light. I can't tell what's behind it".
At this point, other objects appeared in all sectors of the radarscope; when they moved over the White House and the United States Capitol, Barnes called Andrews Air Force Base, located 10 miles from National Airport. Although Andrews reported that they had no unusual objects on their radar, an airman soon called the base's control tower to report the sighting of a strange object.
Airman William Brady, who was in the tower, then saw an "object which appeared to be like an orange ball of fire, trailing a tail ... it was unlike anything I had ever seen before." As Brady tried to alert the other personnel in the tower, the strange object "took off at an unbelievable speed." Meanwhile, another person in the National Airport control tower reported seeing "an orange disk about 3,000 feet altitude".
On one of the airport's runways, S.C. Pierman, a Capital Airlines pilot, was waiting in the cockpit of his DC-4 for permission to take off. After spotting what he believed to be a meteor, he was told that the control tower's radar had picked up unknown objects closing in on his position. Pierman observed six objects - "white, tailless, fast-moving lights" - over a 14-minute period. Pierman was in radio contact with Barnes during his sighting, and Barnes later related that "each sighting coincided with a pip we could see near his plane. When he reported that the light streaked off at a high speed, it disappeared on our scope."
At Andrews AFB, meanwhile, the control tower personnel were tracking on radar what some thought to be unknown objects, but others suspected, and in one instance were able to prove, were simply stars and meteors. However, Staff Sgt. Charles Davenport observed an orange-red light to the south; the light "would appear to stand still, then make an abrupt change in direction and altitude ... this happened several times".
At one point both radar centers at National Airport and the radar at Andrews AFB were tracking an object hovering over a radio beacon. The object vanished in all three radar centers at the same time. At 3 a.m., shortly before two jet fighters from Newcastle AFB in Delaware arrived over Washington, all of the objects vanished from the radar at National Airport. However, when the jets ran low on fuel and left, the objects returned, which convinced Barnes that "the UFOs were monitoring radio traffic and behaving accordingly". The objects were last detected by radar at 5:30 a.m. Around sunrise, E.W. Chambers, a civilian radio engineer in Washington's suburbs, observed "five huge disks circling in a loose formation. They tilted upward and left on a steep ascent."
Publicity and Air Force Reaction
The sightings of July 19-20, 1952, made front-page headlines in newspapers around the nation. A typical example was the headline from the Cedar Rapids Gazette in Iowa. It read "SAUCERS SWARM OVER CAPITAL" in large black type.
By coincidence, USAF Captain Edward J. Ruppelt, the supervisor of the Air Force's Project Blue Book investigation into the UFO mystery, was in Washington at the time. However, he did not learn about the sightings until Tuesday, July 22, when he read the headlines in a Washington-area newspaper.
After talking with intelligence officers at the Pentagon about the sightings, Ruppelt spent several hours trying to obtain a staff car to investigate the sightings, but was refused as only generals and senior colonels could use staff cars. He was told that he could rent a taxicab with his own money; by this point Ruppelt was so frustrated that he left Washington and flew back to Blue Book's headquarters at Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio. Before leaving Washington, Ruppelt did speak with an Air Force radar specialist, Captain Roy James, who felt that unusual weather conditions could have caused the unknown radar targets.
Events of July 26-27
At 8:15 p.m. on Saturday, July 26, 1952, a pilot and stewardess on a National Airlines flight into Washington observed some strange objects above their plane. Within minutes, both radar centers at National Airport, and the radar at Andrews AFB, were tracking more unknown objects. A master sergeant at Andrews visually observed the objects; he later said that "these lights did not have the characteristics of shooting stars. There were no trails ... they traveled faster than any shooting star I have ever seen".
Meanwhile, Albert M. Chop, the press spokesman for Project Blue Book, arrived at National Airport and refused several reporters' requests to photograph the radar screens. He then joined the radar center personnel. By this time (9:30 p.m.) the radar center was picking up unknown objects in every sector. At times the objects traveled slowly; at other times they reversed direction and moved across the radarscope at speeds calculated at 7,000 mph.
At 11:30 p.m., two jet fighters from Newcastle AFB in Delaware arrived over Washington. Capt. John McHugo, the flight leader, was vectored towards the radar pips but saw nothing, despite repeated attempts. However, his wingman, Lt. William Patterson, did see four white "glows" and chased them. Suddenly, the "glows" turned and surrounded his fighter. Patterson asked the control tower at National Airport what he should do; according to Chop, the tower's answer was "stunned silence". The four objects then sped away from Patterson's jet and disappeared.
After midnight on July 27, Major Dewey Fournet, Project Blue Book's liaison at the Pentagon, and a Lt. Holcomb, an Air Force radar specialist, arrived at the radar center at National Airport. During the night, Lt. Holcomb received a call from the Washington National Weather Station. They told him that a slight temperature inversion was present over the city, but Holcomb felt that the inversion was not "nearly strong enough to explain the 'good and solid' returns" on the radarscopes.
Fournet relayed that all those present in the radar room were convinced that the targets were most likely caused by solid metallic objects. There had been weather targets on the scope too, he said, but this was a common occurrence and the controllers "were paying no attention to them." Two more jets from Newcastle AFB were scrambled during the night. One pilot saw nothing unusual; the other pilot moved towards a white light which "vanished" when he closed in. A Capital Airlines flight leaving Washington spotted "odd lights" which remained visible for about twelve minutes. As on July 20, the sightings and unknown radar returns ended at sunrise.
White House Concern and the "Shoot-down" Order
The sightings of July 26-27 also made front-page headlines, and even led President Harry Truman to personally call Capt. Ruppelt and ask for an explanation of the sightings. Ruppelt, remembering the conversation he had with Capt. James, told the President that the sightings might have been caused by temperature inversion, in which a layer of warm, moist air covers a layer of cool, dry air closer to the ground. This condition can cause radar signals to bend and give false returns. However, Ruppelt had not yet interviewed any of the witnesses or conducted a formal investigation.
CIA historian Gerald Haines, in his 1997 history of the CIA's involvement with UFOs, also mentions Truman's concern. "A massive buildup of sightings over the United States in 1952, especially in July, alarmed the Truman administration. On 19 and 20 July, radar scopes at Washington National Airport and Andrews Air Force Base tracked mysterious blips. On 27 July, the blips reappeared."
White House concern may possibly have resulted in an order to shoot down the UFOs, reported in various International News Service (INS) stories on July 29, 1952. E.g., one such story reported that "jet pilots have been placed on a 24-hour nationwide 'alert against the flying saucers' with orders to shoot them down if they ignore orders to land."
An Air Force public information officer, Lt. Col. Moncel Monte, confirmed the directive stating, "The jet pilots are, and have been, under orders to investigate unidentified objects and to shoot them down if they can't talk them down." It was further stated that no pilot had been able to get close enough to take a shot at a flying saucer, as the objects would disappear or speed away as soon as an interceptor approached, sometimes outflying their pilots by "as much as a thousand miles an hour."
However, in seeming contradiction to the admitted "shoot-down" order, Air Force headquarters also put out statements that the unidentified flying objects were no threat to the United States and not controlled by "a reasoning body."
Some public protests resulted, including telegrams and letters to the White House stating that the policy was dangerous if the UFOs were controlled by extraterrestrial beings, who would obviously be much more technologically advanced than humans.
The July 29 Air Force Press Conference and Air Force's Explanation
In response to the INS "shoot-down" stories, to calm rising public anxiety and answer the news media's questions about the sightings - and, hopefully, to slow down the numbers of UFO reports being sent to Blue Book, which were clogging normal intelligence channels - Air Force Major Generals John Samford, USAF Director of Intelligence, and Roger Ramey, USAF Director of Operations, held a well-attended press conference at the Pentagon on July 29, 1952. It was the largest Pentagon press conference since World War II. Press stories called Samford and Ramey the Air Force's two top UFO experts.
Samford was heavily influenced by Capt. Roy James, who had discussed the sightings with him earlier in the day and who also spoke at the conference. Samford declared that the visual sightings over Washington could be explained as misidentified aerial phenomena (such as stars or meteors). Samford also stated that the unknown radar targets could be explained by temperature inversion, which was present in the air over Washington on both nights the radar returns were reported.
In addition, Samford argued that the radar contacts were not caused by solid material targets, and therefore posed no threat to national security. In response to a question as to whether the Air Force had recorded similar UFO radar contacts prior to the Washington incident, Samford admitted that there had been "hundreds" of such contacts where Air Force fighter interceptions had taken place, but stated they were all "fruitless." The conference proved to be successful "in getting the press off our backs", Ruppelt later wrote.
Among the witnesses who supported Samford's explanation was the crew of a B-25 bomber, which had been flying over Washington during the sightings of July 26-27. The bomber was vectored several times by National Airport over unknown targets on the airport's radarscopes, yet the crew could see nothing unusual. Finally, as a crew member related, "the radar had a target which turned out to be the Wilson Lines steamboat trip to Mount Vernon...the radar was sure as hell picking up the steamboat".
Air Force Captain Harold May was in the radar center at Andrews AFB during the sightings of July 19-20. Upon hearing that National Airport's radar had picked up an unknown object heading in his direction, May stepped outside and saw "a light that was changing from red to orange to green to red again ... at times it dipped suddenly and appeared to lose altitude." However, May eventually concluded that he was simply seeing a star that was distorted by the atmosphere, and that its "movement" was an illusion.
At 3 a.m. on July 27, an Eastern Airlines flight over Washington was told that an unknown object was in its vicinity; the crew could see nothing unusual. When they were told that the object had moved directly behind their plane, they began a sharp turn to try to see the object, but were told by National Airport's radar center that the object had "disappeared" when they began their turn.
At the request of the Air Force, the CAA's Technical Development and Evaluation Center did an analysis of the radar sightings. Their conclusion was that "a temperature inversion had been indicated in almost every instance when the unidentified radar targets or visual objects had been reported".
Project Blue Book would eventually label the Washington radar objects as "mirage effects caused by double inversion" and the visual sightings as "meteors coupled with the normal excitement of witnesses". In later years two prominent UFO skeptics, Dr. Donald Menzel, an astronomer at Harvard University, and Philip Klass, a senior editor for Aviation Week magazine, would also argue in favor of the temperature inversion/mirage hypothesis.
Criticisms of the Air Force Explanation
Almost from the moment of General Samford's press conference, eyewitnesses, UFO researchers, and Air Force personnel came forward to criticize the temperature inversion/mirage explanation. Captain Ruppelt noted that Major Fournet and Lt. Holcomb, who disagreed with the Air Force's explanation, were not in attendance at Samford's press conference. Ruppelt himself discovered that "hardly a night passed in June, July, and August in 1952 that there wasn't a temperature inversion in Washington, yet the slow-moving, solid radar targets appeared on only a few nights".
According to a story printed by INS, the United States Weather Bureau also disagreed with the temperature inversion hypothesis, one official stating that "such an inversion ordinarily would appear on a radar screen as a steady line, rather than as single objects as were sighted on the airport radarscope."
Also, according to Ruppelt, when he was able to interview the radar and control tower personnel at Washington National Airport, not a single person agreed with the Air Force explanation. Michael Wertheimer, a researcher for the government-funded Condon Report, investigated the case in 1966. He found that the radar witnesses still disputed the Air Force explanation, but that did not stop the report from agreeing with the temperature inversion/mirage explanation.
Ruppelt related that on July 27 the control tower at Washington National had called the control tower at Andrews AFB and notified them that their radar had an unknown object just south of the Andrews control tower, directly over the Andrews AFB radio range station. According to Ruppelt, when the Andrews control tower personnel looked they all saw "a huge fiery-orange sphere" hovering over the range station.
When Ruppelt interviewed the tower personnel several days later, they insisted that they had been mistaken and had merely seen a bright star. However, when Ruppelt checked an astronomical chart he found that there were no bright stars over the station that night, and that he had "heard from a good source that the tower men had been 'persuaded' a bit" by superior officers to state that their sighting was merely a star.
There were also witnesses who claimed to see structured craft and not merely "glows" or bright lights. On July 19 an Army artillery officer, Joseph Gigandet, was sitting on the front porch of his home in Alexandria, Virginia, across the Potomac River from Washington.
At 9:30 p.m. he claimed to see "a red cigar-shaped object" which sailed slowly over his house. Gigandet estimated the object's size as comparable to a DC-7 airplane and at about 10,000 feet altitude; he also claimed that the object had a "series of lights very closely set together" on its sides. The object eventually flew back over his house a second time, which led Gigandet to assume that it was circling the area.
When the object flew away a second time, it turned a deeper red color and moved over the city of Washington itself; this occurred less than two hours before Edward Nugent first spotted the unknown objects on his radar at Washington National. Gigandet claimed that his neighbor, an FBI agent, also saw the object.
Dr. James E. McDonald, a physicist at the University of Arizona and a prominent ufologist in the 1960s, did his own analysis of the Washington sightings. After interviewing four pilot eyewitnesses and five radar personnel, McDonald argued that the Air Force explanation was "physically impossible". Harry Barnes told McDonald that the radar targets "were not shapeless blobs such as one gets from ground returns under anomalous propagation", and that he was certain the unknown radar blips were solid targets; Howard Cocklin agreed with Barnes.
Aftermath: The Robertson Panel
The extremely high numbers of UFO reports in 1952 disturbed both the Air Force and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Both groups felt that an enemy nation could deliberately flood the U.S. with false UFO reports, causing mass panic and allowing them to launch a sneak attack.
On September 24, 1952, the CIA's Office of Scientific Intelligence (OSI) issued a memorandum to Walter B. Smith, the CIA's director. The memo stated that "the flying saucer situation ... have national security implications ... in the public concern with the phenomena ... lies the potential for the touching-off of mass hysteria and panic". The result of this memorandum was the creation in January 1953 of the Robertson Panel.
Physicist Howard Percy Robertson chaired the panel, which consisted of prominent scientists and which spent four days examining the "best" UFO cases collected by Project Blue Book. The panel dismissed nearly all of the UFO cases it examined as not representing anything unusual or threatening to national security.
In the panel's controversial estimate, the Air Force and Project Blue Book needed to spend less time analyzing and studying UFO reports and more time publicly debunking them. The panel recommended that the Air Force and Project Blue Book should take steps to "strip the Unidentified Flying Objects of the special status they have been given and the aura of mystery they have unfortunately acquired".
Following the Panel's report, Project Blue Book would rarely publicize any UFO case that it had not labeled as "solved"; unsolved cases were rarely mentioned by the Air Force.

UFO cover up - Needles, California - Men in black - Documentary
UFO cover up - Needles, California - Men in black - Documentary
Published on Jan 9, 2017
In the early morning hours of May 14, 2008, witnesses in Needles, CA saw a turquoise glowing object in a rapid descent over the Colorado River. Soon after, military helicopters carried away an object that appeared to be glowing, and according to witnesses, military personnel canvassed the town, intimidating witnesses and townspeople.
From the investigative report of George Knapp:
"A large object with a turquoise hue plummeted out of the sky earlier this summer and plowed into the earth south of Las Vegas near Needles, California.
Eyewitnesses say this was no meteorite, especially since a bunch of helicopters came looking for it and then hauled it away.
The object was seen in the early morning hours of May 14. It appeared to crash into the ground just west of the Colorado River. And that's when things got interesting for residents of the area.
Somewhere in the rough terrain just west of the Colorado River and south of Needles is a point of impact, maybe some burn marks, created by something that fell from the sky. Frank Costigan saw it because he got up at 3 a.m. to let his cat out -- a fiery object that flashed across the sky, but it wasn't a meteor he says.
"It was bright, bright enough that it illuminated the ground," he said.
For seven years, Costigan worked as the chief of airport security at L.A.X. He says the mystery object flew out of the north east, heading southwest, traveling very fast, but at one point it slowed down, then sped up again.
"It went behind a hill, and I waited to see if I could hear it crash because as big as it was, it was bound to make noise," he said.
But he didn't hear a crash. Hours later, David Hayes, the owner of KTOX Radio in Needles, was coming to work when he spotted an odd formation of dark vehicles getting off the highway. He drew a picture of the lead vehicle, a large truck with a dome on top and a black structure that reminded him of a stealth fighter.
"It seemed like it was some kind of surveillance vehicle -- four-wheel drive. It had government plates, U.S. government plates and behind it were a couple of vans that looked like support vehicles," said Hayes.
The men inside had a military bearing, Hayes said, but weren't in uniform. He made eye contact with one of the drivers and the guy followed him. Later in the day, one of the vehicles was parked outside the station, seemingly conducting a surveillance of the place."
The Chilean government has declassified a video and released a report on an unidentified flying object sighting that occurred over two years ago.
The nine-minute video was picked up by a Chilean Navy helicopter at an altitude of 1,370 meters (4,500 feet) along the coast between the port of San Antonio and Quinteros on November 11, 2014. The helicopter’s infrared camera operator detected an unknown object in the distance, which appeared to be flying at a similar speed to the helicopter, at around 244 kilometers (152 miles) per hour.
Two experienced Navy officers on board also saw the object. According to the Huffington Post, one told the investigation that the object had a “flat, elongated structure” with “two thermal spotlights like discharges that did not coincide with the axle of motion.”
Most bizarre of all, the heat-sensitive infrared cameras show the object appearing to thrust out a plume of an unidentified hot material at least twice.
They contacted two radar stations in an attempt to identify the object, neither of which could find it. Before they knew it, the object vanished into the clouds.
After two years of investigation by a team composed of leading scientists and aviation technicians, the CEFAA – a wing of Chile’s aviation agency – appears to be no closer to solving the mystery than before.
In a statement, translated by Google, they said: “Some analysts have suggested the hypothesis that it is a medium-sized line aircraft and that the stelae of the detachable element may be the reserve water inside the apparatus, thrown by the crew. However, meteorology asserts that neither the altitude at which the object moved, nor the ambient temperature of that moment, allowed such a wake of condensation.”
For now, the object remains unidentified. You can see the video for yourself below.
The Chilean navy has admitted it can’t explain a video filmed by its pilots showing a “UFO” in the country’s airspace.
A military helicopter captured the incredible footage in November 2014 during a routine coastal patrol.
The craft – spotted in broad daylight – was filmed using the chopper’s infrared camera.
The “UFO” can be seen hovering in the clouds before appearing to give off some sort of gas as it moves along.
The pilots tracked the craft from around 40 miles away and tried several times to communicate with it.
After receiving no response, they reported it to a pair of nearby radar stations.
But shockingly, neither of them were able to see it on their screens – despite being able to detect the navy choppers.
Air traffic controllers also confirmed that no aircraft had been authorized to fly in the area where the craft was sighted, according to the Huffington Post.
Chilean government agency the CEFAA, which investigates UFO sightings, has been probing the incident for two years.
But after examining the footage and quizzing the pilots, air traffic controllers, and radar operators, CEFAA are still stumped as to what the object is.
General Ricardo Bermúdez, Director of CEFAA during the investigation, said: “We do not know what it was, but we do not know what it was not.”
Speaking after interviewing the airmen, Bermúdez added: “I was very impressed by these witnesses.
“They were highly trained professionals with many years’ experience, and they were absolutely certain that they could not explain what they saw.”
If there is life on Mars it could be playing games, according to conspiracy theorists who claim to have spotted a small marble in the Martian soil.
Captured by the Mars Rover Curiosity,an image taken on 1 January shows a small dark sphere looking out of place lying among the familiar red dust and craggy rocks.
Some suggest it is a marble, but a much more likely explanation is that it is an example of a Martian spherule, thought to be formed when volcanoes spray molten rock into air.

WHAT ARE MARTIAN SPHERULES?
Also known as blueberries because of a blue hue given to the objects in false-colour images, Martian spherules were discovered by the Mars rover Opportunity in 2004.
One theory is that the spheres may have formed when molten rock was sprayed into the air by a volcano or a meteor impact.
Another suggests they formed when groundwater flowed through porous rocks creating chemical reactions that cause iron minerals to precipitate into layered balls.
A black and white picture taken on 20 December 2016 shows the same ball in the same place, although Martian dust appears to have covered surrounding rocks since then.
The pictures were taken by Nasa's Curiosity rover - which has been examining the surface of Mars since it landed in 2011 - using its right mast camera.
The images are most likely to show an example of a Martian spherule.

One theory is the spheres may have formed when molten rock was sprayed into the air by a volcano or a meteor impact.
Another theory suggests they formed when groundwater flowed through porous rocks creating chemical reactions that cause iron minerals to precipitate into small, layered balls.
'A number of straightforward geological processes can yield round shapes,' says Dr Hap McSween, an Opportunity science team member from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
The marble is just the latest in a series of 'discoveries' of strange objects on Mars by conspiracy theorists.

LINKS BETWEEN CONSPIRACY, NARCISSISM AND SELF-ESTEEM
Over the course of three online-based studies, researchers at the University of Kent showed strong links between the belief in conspiracy theories and these psychological traits.
The results showed that those people who rated highly on the narcissism scale and who had low self-esteem were more likely to be conspiracy believers.
However, while low self-esteem, narcissism and belief in conspiracies are strongly linked, it is not clear that one - or a combination - causes the other.
But it hints at an interesting new angle to the world of conspiracy and those who reinforce belief.
Last month, alien enthusiasts believe they have found an exciting clue in the ongoing search for life on Mars - a spoon.
It was the second 'spoon' to be found on Mars in recent years, with believers claiming it could be proof of developed life on the planet.
Other objects such as rings and gloves have also been found.
The video was first noticed properly when it was uploaded to YouTube by the UFO Hunter account, with the description: 'There is a giant spoon on Mars! This thing is amazing! Probably left over from a lost civilization'
And some users were amazed at the discovery - one said: 'Wow, it could'nt possibly be natural, could it.'
Another added: 'Considering this is the second spoon they have found, this could be a sign of intelligent life.'
However, others were more skeptical, suggesting it could be an optical illusion.
One user commented: 'We see what we want to see. Some folk see the face of Jesus in tea-leaves, others see the man in the moon.'
A SELF-PROCLAIMED UFO world expert returned to Dawlish Warren for more investigations after previously spotting a UFO landing in a field to abduct cows for genetic material - and was astonished to see the same UFO flying in the sky again.
Mr Mooner, from Newton Abbot, who describes himself as chief photographer for World UFO Photos, said: "I made a return visit to Dawlish Warren to carry out further investigations into my sighting of a UFO that had landed in a farmer's field. I stood in the same position as last time to watch the field and surrounding area for Strange UFO activity. It was cold out but I did not let this deter me from my UFO watch.
"I was there for hours looking in the direction of the field, when to my amazement a similar or maybe the same UFO flew across the sky. I was flabbergasted.
"I started taking photographs as the UFO passed over the field and flew off into the distance.
"The UFO moved so fast that I did not have time to zoom into it. I only just managed to photograph the UFO. I took four Photographs that show the movement of the UFO as pasted over the field. It was absolutely incredible.
"When I got back home I looked at the photographs on my computer and I was able to enlarge the photographs to see the object close up.
"This UFO definitely had no wings and appeared to be oval shaped. This was definitely not a commercial aircraft.
"I feel that this object was the same transit van sized UFO I spotted landing in the field last time.
"The photographs were taken on the 4th of January 2017 at 3:27 PM at Dawlish Warren."
Records from the National UFO Reporting Center reveal more than half a dozen reports originating from Braintree in the past decade, ranging from black spheres hovering over Weymouth Landing's train station to metallic balls that appear - and disappear - in broad daylight over Skyline Apartments.
Braintree's most recent entry in the catalog of the bizarre was logged in December of 2015, while surrounding towns and cities, including Quincy with three reports in 2016 alone, also populate the database.
That December 2015 sighting, dubbed a "sighting report" by the UFO reporting center, allegedly involved more than five people who observed dark black spheres hovering above the Weymouth Landing commuter rail station shortly after 8 a.m., two days before Christmas.
"During most of the sighting it was difficult to tell how many spheres/shapes there were, but it was a tight group of multiple dark black spheres (they seemed to occasionally change shape) moving roughly east to west," the report, filed anonymously, read. "No way to tell how far away they were, but there was a solid cloud deck, so they were under that altitude whatever it was.
"I have held an FAA certification as a single engine pilot in the past and previously never witnessed anything I'd consider to be a UFO," the Dec. 23, 2015 sighting report concluded.
Here's a brief rundown of some other sighting reports filed from Braintree in recent years.
Triangular UFOs and black helicopters
In July of 2015 a report filed with the UFO reporting center claimed that a triangle shaped object had been observed moving over Quincy and East Braintree in the early morning hours of Sept. 2, 2012.
"I was sitting outside facing west when a triangle shaped object, about the size of a commercial airliner, approached from the north heading south," the report stated. "The object was flying at a much lower altitude than any aircraft of that size normally would."
The sky-watcher said the object made a noise that sounded like a fan buffeting air and had a red light on the front with two white lights in the back.
"When the object was directly in front of me it turned east, moving straight towards me as it lowered its altitude and its speed. When it was less than a football field away from me it suddenly turned southeast, quickly accelerating its speed and moving out of my field of vision."
The report ends claiming that "several black helicopters were seen in the area for the remainder of the night and the following day."
First a light, then a 'bear hug'
The most unsettling sighting report from Braintree was filed in November of 2011 by a man who said he was driving his girlfriend home on the night of July 14, 2011.
When turning onto his girlfriend's street, not named in the report, the driver said he saw "lights that looked like a plane was landing or doing a very sharp turn."
The driver said he stopped his car to look at the object and watched it disappear and reappear over a nearby house.
"It got weird later that night," the sighting report stated, with the driver claiming the lights then followed his car home from Braintree.
"I could hear my name outside my window, weird noises, so I open up my window and something hit me right away like someone had a bear hug on me," the report said. "I could hear in my head 'your species will fall' and then saw a flash in front of the window."
That sighting report ends on a defiant note.
"I never wanted to tell anyone this because no one will ever believe this and I don't care because I'll never forget it till the day I die."
Metallic spheres over Skyline Apartments
A sighting report from August of 2012 is unique to this list in its specificity to the location it supposedly occurred in, at a wooded area behind Skyline Apartments on the afternoon of July 1, 2005.
The person who reported the incident, 15 at the time, said they were walking along railroad tracks from Quincy Point into Braintree when they noticed something strange behind the apartments.
"So we're walking along and notice a basketball-size metallic sphere suspended in mid-air, nothing holding it or propping it up, just still about 40 or so feet in the air, maybe 10 feet above the trees."
The sighting report continues, "it seemed like it knew we were watching it. Then I looked away and my brother looked down or something and it was just gone."
