Gigantic 'object' spotted towering over Earth from ISS – before NASA live feed is CUT

A BIZARRE blue object has been spotted hovering over Earth on a NASA live feed from the International Space Station – before the footage was mysteriously cut.

By Emmet McGonagle 

In a video posted online, a mysterious object seems to appear above the planet.

The glowing object – which appears blueish in hue with a white centre – can be seen in the background of NASA’s live feed.

As the camera zooms in, the alarming size of it becomes clearer as it towers over the planet.

But NASA’s feed is promptly cut short, reading: “Please stand by.

“The High Definition Earth Viewing experiment is either switching cameras, or we are experiencing a temporary loss of signal with the International Space Station.”

Unsurprisingly, the unexpected cut left conspiracy theorists up in arms.

One stunned viewer wrote: “That was a weird looking blob next to the space station?”

Another added: "NASA is lying."

A third argued the object could be a “space ice ball”, with viewers noticing the object looked like “a drop of water in zero gravity”.

But this is by no means the first time the ISS feed has picked up on something strange in the earth’s atmosphere.

Earlier this year, viewers noticed a white object floating across the International Space Station’s live feed.

It is not just space where UFOs have been seen in recent months.

Footage surfaced earlier today of a bizarre triangular-shaped object hovering over Ohio.

Earlier this week, there were fears an alien portal had opened up in Australia during a thunderstorm

Aliens are coming to Belgium as UFO sightings soar in 2018

UFO sightings over Belgium surged last year with the public reporting higher numbers of possible alien spaceships than in 2017.

Belgium recorded 255 reports of UFOs in 2018, an increase on the 171 witnessed the previous year.

Sightings were up across the whole country, with increases in Wallonia, Flanders and Brussels.

The mayor of the leafy Brussels suburb of Wezembeek-Oppem made news last summer when he claimed to have spotted a UFO.

Belgium has regularly punched above its weight when it comes to UFO sightings. Even in 2017, a relatively fallow year, it outscored Norway, Finland and Denmark and recorded only a handful fewer sightings than its much larger neighbour France.

Patrick Ferryn, president of Cobeps, the Francophone Belgian committee for the study of space phenomena, said: "We don't know why the numbers have increased. It was a hot summer and it may be simply that when the weather is good and the skies are clear, people look at the skies more often."

U is for UFOs in Ottawa: The truth is (still) out there

BRUCE DEACHMAN

In 1953, Ottawa Journal readers were urged to be on the lookout for flying saucers, after Wilbert Smith's Project Magnet was given space and equipment to operate out of Shirley's Bay.

One fine summer evening in 1953, with Bank Street bustling as thousands of ball fans headed to Lansdowne Park to watch a game, Wilbert B. Smith, a senior radio engineer with the Department of Transport, and his research team released a weather balloon over the area. Not just any weather balloon, this one was covered with aluminum to make it disk-shaped, while fastened to its centre was a large aircraft flare timed to ignite when the balloon reached 5,000 feet, or 1,524 metres.

The silver object rose slowly in the air and, at 5,000 feet, glowed brilliantly for 15 seconds as its flare ignited. What Smith and his team, dubbed Project Magnet, expected to happen next was a deluge of phone calls from panicked and concerned citizens about the unidentified flying object they’d just seen. It was 1953, after all, with the post-Second-World-War Cold War in high gear and UFOs and their possible extraterrestrial origins frequently in the news. What they got, though, was nothing, or, rather, the conclusion that people just don’t watch the sky all that much: not one person called to report the strange object. This, however, hardly deterred Smith and his colleagues.

Project Magnet was formed in December 1950 on the authorization of Commander C.P. Edwards, then Deputy Minister of Transport for Air Service, with the aim of investigating UFO claims in Canada. It ran separately but in conjunction with a multi-department effort coordinated by the Defence Research Board, named Project Second Storey, to investigate reports of UFO sightings. According to Smith, Project Magnet was never officially sanctioned and no government funding was provided; he had simply requested some space and surplus equipment at a Transport Station at Shirley’s Bay, with which to collect research in his own spare time. Project Magnet’s primary goal was to study how the Earth’s magnetic field could be harnessed as a propulsion system for vehicles, a technology Smith believed extraterrestrials used.

At the time, 50 per cent of Canadians believed “that these mysterious disks are not just imagination and that they are not just a natural phenomenon,” according to a poll conducted by the Canadian Institute of Public Opinion.

“So many reliable people are among the witnesses,” noted the Fort William Times-Journal, “it is no longer possible to ignore entirely the possibilities that some aerial survey of the earth is being taken by personalities from some other part of the universe.”

Reports of UFOs in Canada stretch back to 1792, when explorer David Thompson reported a bright blob flying overhead in northern Manitoba. In February 1915, the lights of Parliament Hill, Rideau Hall and the Royal Mint were extinguished after reports of unknown lights crossing the St. Lawrence River and headed for Ottawa reached Prime Minister Robert Borden. Thought to possibly be an aerial attack, the sighting were later blamed on fireworks-laden balloons released in Morristown, N.Y. to celebrate a century of peace.

Smith, who in 1955 became one of City View’s three inaugural trustees, was himself an ardent believer in aliens. In a speech delivered to the Vancouver Area UFO Club in 1961, a year before his death, he claimed to have communicated with extraterrestrials, whom he at least occasionally referred to as “the boys topside.” An engineer, he was particularly interested in such technical matters as how their spacecraft was built and how they were propelled. He claims they explained to him how the speed of light is not constant, and that time was not the measured chronological ticking we imagine, but a “field function” that changed throughout the universe, and which could be altered. Their ships, he was told, were supported on the Earth’s gravitational field. The fields surrounding their ships, he added, created areas that reduced areas that weakened the strength of objects that came into contact with them, accounting for the destruction of earthly military craft that flew too close to them. This explained, among other phenomenon, the May 1956 crash of a military jet into the Villa St. Louis convent in Orleans — the jet, Smith said, flew into a “very strong vortex of reduced binding,” causing it to break apart.

“I wrote a very stiff memorandum to the appropriate people in my own department pointing out some of these facts,” he wrote. But his letter, he maintained, “wound up on the crank file.”

Similar unstable vortices, he added, were created when nuclear explosions occurred. An unnamed friend of his who had also been in contact with “these people from outside” claimed to have spoken with one, Tyla, a garbage collector whose job it was to clean up the radioactive messes created by such man-made explosions. Tyla, Smith said, gathered the material, took it aboard his ship where it was rendered inert, and then dumped it in some secluded spot on Earth. In 1948, Tyla reportedly told his friend that he would dump his next load near Ottawa, and that he would pick an opportune time so many people could witness it. According to Smith, it took place on Remembrance Day that year: “We looked up to the north-west of Ottawa and there was Tyla’s little craft, an egg-shaped affair in the sky, and coming out of the tail-end of it was what looked like an almost dissipated portion of a jet trail that was dropping down.”

By summarizing sightings reported in 1952, Smith reported that UFOs were “a hundred feet or more in diameter; they can travel at speeds of several thousand miles per hour; they can reach altitudes well above those which should support conventional aircraft or balloons; and ample power and force seem to be available for all required maneuvers.”

The sightings, he noted, occurred at approximately six-week intervals, and most frequently when Earth and Mars were nearest to one another. In his 1952 report, he wrote: “We are forced to the conclusion that the vehicles are probably extraterrestrial, in spite of our prejudices to the contrary.”

The Project Second Storey committee, of which Smith was a member, developed a weighted 28-question questionnaire for those who reported seeing UFOs, to try to determine the likelihood that what they thought they saw actually happened. The conclusion, according to Smith, was that there was a 91-per-cent chance that reported sightings involved real objects, and a 60-per-cent chance that those objects were extraterrestrial vehicles.

On Aug. 8, 1954, Smith and his team at Shirley’s Bay recorded a disturbance they believed was caused by a UFO. Among the telling signs were Morse code transmissions too rapid for a trained operator to decipher.

Only days later, Project Magnet was disbanded. “Scientists,” wrote the Ottawa Journal, “say there is no proof flying saucers exist but they honorably admit there is no proof that all the strange and wandering objects reported in the sky are freaks of imagination or atmosphere.”

It was, Smith explained in a 1957 Weekend Magazine article on UFOs, all a matter of perspective: “If a stock promoter told you that there was a 60-per-cent probability that a certain stock would go up, I don’t think you’d invest with him. But if the weatherman told you there was a 60-per-cent probability that a hurricane was going to hit your area, I think you’d hurry up and bring in the lawn furniture.”

In 2017, there were approximately 1,100 UFO sightings reported in Canada, including 31 in the Ottawa area. The truth remains out there, somewhere.

La Belgique a-t-elle connue une vague d’ovnis en 2018 ?

Waar hebben we vorig jaar ufo's gezien? Ontdek het hier

door bbd | Bron: BELGA

179 waarnemingen: dat is een stijging van 33 procent in vergelijking met het aantal meldingen uit 2017 (134 waarnemingen).

De stijging van het aantal meldingen liet zich – naar jaarlijkse gewoonte – vooral voelen tijdens de zomermaanden juli en augustus. Beide maanden samen waren goed voor 44 meldingen. Dit grote aantal waarnemingen kan grotendeels verklaard worden door het warme weer in die periode: we zaten dan veel vaker en langer buiten.

Ook het feit dat er vaak wolkenloze dagen waren, werkte het ufo-spotten in de hand.

In de provincie Oost-Vlaanderen werden de meeste ufo’s gezien. Het Franstalige COBEPS (Comité Belge pour l’Etude des Phénomènes Spatiaux) ontving het afgelopen jaar 76 ufo-meldingen, eveneens een stijging vergeleken met het jaar ervoor.

Sterren, of het ISS

Frederick Delaere, coördinator van het Belgisch ufo-meldpunt, beklemtoont dat de meeste ufo’s vrij snel ontmaskerd worden als vliegtuigen, sterren of het ruimtestation ISS. ‘Dat weten we door het moment van de waarneming en de manier waarop het tuig zich volgens de getuigen verplaatste, te checken.’

Een invloed van drones – die ook voor een ufo zouden kunnen aanzien worden – is er volgens Delaere nog niet.

Toch zijn er een handvol meldingen waarvoor het meldpunt nog geen verklaring heeft. Zo werd in Nederland een felgroen lintvormig object gespot waarvoor nog geen verklaring werd gevonden. Hetzelfde geldt voor enkele foto’s van verwonderlijke wolkenformaties.

UFOs have captured the popular imagination for the past seven decades. For most of this time, the subject has been treated with casual derision by mainstream media—as the butt of a lighthearted story at the end of the nightly news, underscored by X-Files music and obligatory references to “little green men.”

The media’s dismissive attitude towards UFOs stands in stark contrast to the views of numerous, highly-respected individuals in the spheres of politics and science who have, over the years, stated either publicly or confidentially their firm belief that the UFO enigma is not only worthy of serious study, but that it may even be representative of non-human intelligences.

Here are 10 of the most shocking statements about UFOs by scientists and government officials…

General Nathan Twining.

10. General Nathan Twining

General Nathan Twining served as Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force between 1953 and 1957, and as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff between 1957 and 1960. A highly distinguished officer, Twining rose through the ranks from a lowly private to a four-star general answering directly to the Secretary of Defense and the President himself.

In a once secret letter to Air Force Headquarters dated 23 September 1947, General Twining, then head of Air Materiel Command, stated that flying saucers were “real and not visionary or fictitious,” that they had “metallic or light reflecting surface[s],” that they were “circular or elliptical in shape, flat on bottom and domed on top,” and were sometimes sighted in “well-kept formation flights varying from three to nine objects.”

Twining’s unambiguous comments in this then-secret letter about the physical reality of flying saucers were in direct contradiction to the USAF’s public position at the time that UFO reports were the product of mass hysteria or misidentifications of mundane phenomena.

Wilbert. B. Smith.

9. Wilbert B. Smith

Between 1947 and 1969, the US Air Force operated UFO investigation projects under three different codenames: Sign, Grudge, and Blue Book. Less well known is that America’s Northern neighbour was also taking a keen interest in flying saucers during the Cold War. Between 1950 and 1954, the Canadian government officially operated its own UFO study project—Project Magnet—with the objective of collecting data about the phenomenon and applying it in the spheres of military engineering and technology. The project was headed by Wilbert Brockhouse Smith, a senior radio engineer for Transport Canada’s Broadcast and Measurements Section.

In a previously top secret Canadian government documentdated 21 November, 1950, drawing from information he had obtained via the Canadian embassy in Washington D.C., Smith noted of UFOs that: “The matter is the most highly classified subject in the United States government, rating higher even than the H-bomb.”

Professor Hermann Oberth.

8. Hermann Oberth

One of the boldest perspectives on UFOs during the 1950s came from Professor Hermann Oberth. A pioneer of rocketry and astronautics, and mentor to Werhner von Braun, Oberth was arguably one of the most influential engineers of the 20th Century. In an article for the American Weekly on 24 October, 1954, Oberth wrote:

“It is my thesis that flying saucers are real and that they are space ships from another solar system. I think that they possibly are manned by intelligent observers who are members of a race that may have been investigating our earth for centuries. I think that they have been sent out to conduct systematic, long-range investigations, first of men, animals and vegetation, and more recently of atomic centers, armaments and centers of armament production. They obviously have not come as invaders, but I believe their present mission may be one of scientific investigation.”

Roscoe Hillenkoetter.

7. Roscoe Hillenkoetter

Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter became America’s first CIA Director in 1947 and, before that, was head of the Central Intelligence Group (CIG). He had previously been wounded during the attack on Pearl Harbor and commanded the USS Missouri in 1946. He retired from military service with the rank of Vice Admiral. In 1960, in a letter to Congress, Hillenkoetter famously wrote:

“Behind the scenes, high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about the UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense. To hide the facts, the Air Force has silenced its personnel.”

Curiously, during his retirement years, Hillenkoetter joined the board of directors for the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP)—America’s leading civilian UFO investigations group. In their ground-breaking book, Clear Intent, authors Lawrence Fawcett and Barry Greenwood describe Hillenkoetter’s high-level involvement with NICAP as being a key move in the CIA’s successful infiltration and dismantling of NICAP. More men with CIA ties would join NICAP in the years to follow, and these individuals came to control the organization from within during the 1960s and 1970s as its founder, Donald Keyhoe, was pushing ever harder for government disclosure of UFO reality. Eventually, Keyhoe was ousted as NICAP Director by Joseph Bryan, former chief of the CIA’s psychological warfare staff. By 1980, NICAP was defunct.

Senator Barry Goldwater.

6. Barry Goldwater

Barry Goldwater was best known as the five-term Senator from Arizona and as the Republican Party nominee for President of the United States in 1964. Goldwater was a significant force in American politics across four decades. In an official United States Senate letter dated 28 March, 1975, in response to an enquiry regarding his publicly stated interest in UFOs, Goldwater wrote:

“About ten or twelve years ago I made an effort to find out what was in the building at Wright Patterson Air Force Base where the [UFO] information is stored that has been collected by the Air Force, and I was understandably denied this request. It is still classified above Top Secret.”

In another Senate letter, dated 19 Oct. 1981, Goldwater further stated: “I have had one long string of denials from chief after chief, so I have given up… this thing [the UFO issue] has gotten so highly classified… it is just impossible to get anything on it.”

Victor Marchetti.

5. Victor Marchetti

Victor Marchetti served in the CIA from 1955 to 1969. Towards the end of his CIA career, Marchetti worked for several months as special assistant to CIA Deputy Director Rufus Taylor. Marchetti was also involved in establishing the Top Secret Pine Gap satellite ground station near Alice Springs in Central Australia—long rumoured by UFO conspiracy theorists to be Australia’s Area 51.

In an article for Second Look magazine in May, 1979, Marchetti raised eyebrows with the following statement:

“I do know that the CIA and the US government have been concerned over the UFO phenomenon for many years and that their attempts, both past and recent, to discount the significance of the phenomenon and to explain away the apparent lack of official interest in it have all the earmarks of a classic intelligence cover-up… My theory is that we have, indeed, been contacted – perhaps even visited – by extraterrestrial beings, and that the US government, in collusion with other national powers of the Earth, is determined to keep this information from the general public.”

Col. Gordon Cooper.

4. Gordon Cooper

The late, great astronaut Colonel Gordon Cooper was legendary for his role in the first human space flight program, Project Mercury, and his exploits were chronicled in the classic 1983 movie The Right Stuff (which co-starred Dennis Quaid as Cooper). Cooper had a number of UFO sightings during his military career and maintained until his death in 2004 that the US government had long been engaged in a large-scale UFO cover-up.

In a letter to Ambassador Griffith, Mission of Grenada to the United Nations in New York, dated 9 September, 1978, Cooper wrote:

“For many years I have lived with a secret, in a secrecy imposed on all specialists and astronauts. I can now reveal that every day, in the USA, our radar instruments capture objects of form and composition unknown to us… I feel that we need to have a top-level, coordinated program to scientifically collect and analyze data from all over the Earth concerning any type of encounter, and to determine how best to interface with these visitors in a friendly fashion.”

Lord Hill Norton.

3. Lord Hill Norton

One of the most high-ranking military officials (retired) ever to speak out on the UFO issue was the late five-star Admiral of the Fleet the Lord Hill Norton, who served as Britain’s Chief of Defence Staff and as Chairman of the NATO Military Committee. Lord Hill Norton maintained a longstanding interest in UFOs during his later years. In his foreword for Timothy Good’s bestselling expose of government UFO secrecy, Beyond Top Secret (1996), Lord Hill Norton wrote:

“The [UFO] evidence is now so consistent and so overwhelming that no reasonably intelligent person can deny that something unexplained is going on in our atmosphere… there is a cover-up: in the United States on a massive scale, in Great Britain, and in several other countries.”

Fife Symington.

2. Fife Symington

One of the most famous mass UFO sightings of the past 30 years has to be the Phoenix Lights incident, in which thousands of individuals reported seeing a series of stationary lights over the Arizonian capital on the night of March 13, 1997. A delta or triangular-shaped craft of immense proportions was also widely reported as travelling low and slow over Arizona more broadly on the same night. The US air force was quick to attribute the sightings to misidentifications of military flares, and the then-governor of Arizona, Fife Symington, joined the debunking bandwagon when he staged a comedic press conference in response to the concerns of his constituents, going so far as to parade a man in front of the cameras dressed a ridiculous rubber alien costume.

Unknown at that time, however, was that the Governor himself had been among the witnesses to the Phoenix Lights. 10 years later, speaking at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. in November of 2007, Fife Symington stated in front of the world’s media:

“In 1997, during my second term as governor of Arizona, I saw something that defied logic and challenged my reality… I witnessed a massive delta-shaped craft silently navigate over Squaw Peak, a mountain range in Phoenix, Arizona. It was truly breathtaking. I was absolutely stunned… As a pilot and a former Air Force Officer, I can definitively say that this craft did not resemble any man-made object I’d ever seen. The incident was witnessed by hundreds—if not thousands—of people in Arizona, and my office was besieged with phone calls from very concerned Arizonians. There are many high-ranking military, aviation and government officials who share my concerns… We want the government to stop putting out stories that perpetuate the myth that all UFOs can be explained away in down-to-earth conventional terms. Investigations need to be re-opened, documents need to be unsealed and the idea of an open dialogue can no longer be shunned. Incidents like these are not going away. When it comes to events of this nature that are still completely unsolved, we deserve more openness in government, especially our own.”

1. Luis Elizondo

In December 2017, the New York Times broke a dramatic story: the American government had been operating a secret UFO study program between 2008 and 2012 called the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program (AATIP). The conclusions of the $22 million Pentagon project, which, according to the Times, continues quietly to this day, were that “aircraft” of apparently unearthly origin are routinely penetrating America’s airspace.

The man who headed the Pentagon UFO project, Luis Elizondo, told journalists that these “aircraft” or “UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena),” were performing manoeuvres that fly in the face of our known laws of physics. Even more shockingly, Elizondo revealed that the Pentagon has been recovering bizarre metal alloys from alleged UFO crashes which currently are being studied and stored by billionaire defense contractor Robert Bigelow.

Discussing the Pentagon UFO project live on air in December 2017, Elizondo told CNN:

“We have identified some very, very interesting anomalous types of aircraft… let’s call them ‘aircraft.’ Things that don’t have any obvious flight surfaces, any obvious forms of propulsion, and [that have] extreme manoeuvrability beyond the healthy G-forces of a human or anything biological; hypersonic velocities; low observability; [and] positive lift, seemingly defying the laws of aerodynamics.”

When encouraged by the news anchor to speculate as to the nature and origin of these mystery aircraft, Elizondo replied: “We’ve deliberately stayed away from going down the rabbit hole of ‘who’s behind the wheel and what are their intentions’… what we wanted to do was to let the data speak for itself.”

The anchor responded by nudging Elizondo again: “Let me ask you point blank the question: do you believe that life from somewhere else, while you ran this program, came here, visited, observed?” Elizondo stunningly replied: “There is very compelling evidence that we may not be alone.”

Mysterious 'UFO' spotted over South Carolina ignites speculation about aliens

http://video.foxnews.com/v/5785623149001

A mysterious unidentified flying object was spotted over South Carolina's Kiawah Island during the Christmas holiday, prompting speculation about what the object is.

The video was posted to YouTube by Debra Thomson, who wrote in the caption that she had an unobstructed view and was unsure what the object was.

"It was about 9:33pm EST of the coast of Charleston SC," Thomson, who also referred to herself as Kiawah Island Girl, wrote in the description. "I have an unobstructed view in all directions. Earlier in the evening I put a light up Christmas tree on outside light up. I went outside to unplug it when I noticed this beautiful red sphere in the sky. I knew it was not Venus, it was in the North West Sky. It was moving toward my direction and also seemed intelligently in control."

She added that the object "moved around a bit and disappeared into a pin hole, then it reappeared back to its same size in a few minutes."

Thomson also wrote that she called the local airport who told her that there was nothing on the radar and that it was not a weather balloon.

The data was collected since the UFO sighting craze erupted in the 1940s

UFO sightings: The least likely state to have UFOs reported is Florida – the most likely is Wyoming

News of the UFO was first reported by The Post and Courier, a South Carolina-based newspaper.

Several YouTubers commented on the video, with some believing the lights may be from an advanced civilization, while others believe it has a more Earthly explanation. "I wonder...maybe a drone? Deff odd.," one user wrote.

"It's the afterburner of a military jet," another person wrote.

Kiawah Island is no stranger to unidentified objects in the air, especially around the holidays. On New Year's Day night in 2015, a bright orange disc was spotted over Rivers Avenue, The Post and Courier reported.

Three weeks later, there was an "array of sparks" that crossed Hamlin Sound near Mount Pleasant, according to data provided to the Mutual UFO Network.

In August, mysterious lights were spotted above Myrtle Beach, S.C., which also prompted speculation about what the lights were and where they came from.

The person who submitted the August video to MUFON said they were taking pictures and a time-lapse video of a thunderstorm and did not notice the strange lights until they got home.

"Taking pictures and time lapse of the incoming storm," the person wrote on the website. "[I] was taking the pictures off the edge of a long pier after dark, so there were no reflective surfaces around. [I] did not notice the objects until i returned home and checked the photograph and video."

That same month, a purported UFO was captured on film flying over a North Carolina lake. While some believe the shaky footage depicted an extraterrestrial craft, the GoodYear Blimp account took credit for the incident, noting it was in the Charlotte area on May 29 for a NASCAR race.

"We don’t want to get in the way of a good story, but that’s definitely us," the GoodYear Blimp account wrote, according to the Daily Mail. "We left the Charlotte area 5/29 after covering the Coke 600."

The National UFO Reporting Center has a State Report Index that breaks down UFO sightings by state, duration of sighting, shape and description.

Here are the 10 states with the most UFO sightings, according to the center:

1. California: 11,092

2. Florida: 5,017

3. Washington: 4,951

4. Texas: 4,313

5. New York: 3,799

6. Illinois: 3,031

7. Arizona: 3,143

8. Ohio: 2,883

9. Michigan: 2,424

10. North Carolina: 2,247

Sightings in the database range from the 1950s to 2015.

“Nee, geen aliens in New York”: explosie veroorzaakt vreemd helblauw licht boven de stad

In de provincie Oost-Vlaanderen werden de meeste UFO’s gespot. Het Franstalige COBEPS (Comité Belge pour l’Etude des Phénomènes Spatiaux) ontving het afgelopen jaar 76 UFO-meldingen, eveneens een stijging vergeleken met het jaar ervoor.

De stijging van het aantal meldingen liet zich - naar jaarlijkse gewoonte - vooral voelen tijdens de zomermaanden juli en augustus. Beide maanden samen waren goed voor 44 meldingen. Dit grote aantal waarnemingen kan grotendeels verklaard worden door het warme weer in die periode. Ook in oktober waren er beduidend meer meldingen dan het maandgemiddelde. Dit kan mee verklaard worden door de uitzonderlijk lage bewolkingsgraad in die maand.

I’m not a nut. I just wanted to know if anyone has had any experiences in the last few days…It really is quite amazing when you see one that seems to ‘splat’ out of another dimension and change into a round shape.

That’s how Charleston, South Carolina resident Debra Thompson described her encounter with a strange object off the coast on Christmas Eve, 2018. Around 9:30 pm local time on the evening of December 24, Thompson stepped outside to unplug some Christmas lights when she saw the odd light in the sky and instinctively pulled out her camera to film it, eventually posting the footage to YouTube.

Glowing orbs in the sky are among the most commonly reported UFOs, but due to their ambiguous appearance, it’s difficult to determine what they may be.

According to the description of the incident she included with her footage on YouTube, Thompson says the object appeared to move “intelligently” through the night sky:

I noticed this beautiful red sphere in the sky. I knew it was not Venus, it was in the North West Sky. It was moving toward my direction and also seemed intelligently in control. I felt as if it knew I was [filming] it. It moved around a bit and disappeared into a pinhole, then it reappeared back to its same size in a few minutes. With the naked eye it was much more brilliant to see. I called the local airport and they saw nothing on radar.

Local news stations broadcast Thompson’s footage of the object and were soon after inundated with emails from other eastern South Carolina residents who witnessed similar phenomena. Facebook users throughout the coastal area of the state posted comments on local news stations’ coverage of the incident claiming they also saw unidentified, curious lights that night. While many feel that they witnessed something otherworldly, many others think they merely saw a drone lit up with LEDs, a Chinese lantern, or perhaps – you guessed it – a weather balloon.

Chinese lanterns are often cited as possible explanations for strange lights in the sky. Are they really that common?

According to Charleston’s Post and Courier newspaper, the glowing orange orb is “a phenomenon that turns up in the sky here every so often.” The newspaper reports a similar orb was seen on New Year’s Day 2015 and again three weeks later. With so many witnesses and repeat incidents, this one seems like a credible UFO sighting – but it’s important to keep in mind that “unidentified” doesn’t necessarily mean “aliens.”

It’d be a lot cooler if it did, though.

Given the area’s proximity to Charleston Air Force Base, Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, and Naval Weapons Station Charleston, it’s likely these strange lights are related to military exercises or aircraft tests. Of course, there’s always the possibility, however small, that the lights could be something else entirely. What exactly is going on in the skies above South Carolina?

L’équipage se souvient  40 ans plus tard du jour où un OVNI a été aperçu au-dessus de Kaikōura

C’était le jour du Nouvel An, 1979, lorsque le monde a pris conscience que six personnes avaient aperçues d’étranges lumières dans un avion au large de l’île du Sud de la Nouvelle-Zélande.

Était-ce un ovni? Non, ont dit les sceptiques. C’était Vénus, des calmars, des retours radar d’un champ de choux. (ironie)

Quarante ans plus tard, les deux pilotes et les quatre passagers sont catégoriques: rien de tout cela, ils sont frustrés d’être incapables de trouver des réponses.

The Herald on Sunday a retrouvé chaque membre du groupe dans le monde entier. L’une est agricultrice de mangues à Hawaii, tandis que l’autre est une dame mariée âgée de 80 ans .

L’affaire a acquis une renommée instantanée – mais aucune fortune – pour certains, avant que la honte et la colère ne leur soient reprochées lorsqu’ils ont été accusés de falsification de l’observation. Cela a eu pour conséquence de  casser un mariage.

À la fin de l’année 1978, le continent  était en proie à la fièvre ovni. En octobre, Frederick Valentich, âgé de 20 ans, a disparu alors qu’il pilotait un petit avion Cessna 182 au-dessus du détroit de Bass, tandis qu’il se dirigeait vers King Island, en Tasmanie. Décrit comme un « passionné de soucoupes volantes », Valentich a informé le contrôle de la circulation aérienne de Melbourne qu’il était accompagné d’un avion inconnu.

Deux mois plus tard, le 21 décembre, à bord du Tasman, Vern Powell et Ian Pirie, deux pilotes de Safe Air, ont repéré d’étranges lumières alors qu’ils volaient de Blenheim à Christchurch.

Producteur pour la chaîne 0 de Melbourne (aujourd’hui la chaîne 10), Leonard Lee a entendu la nouvelle et a retrouvé le journaliste Quentin Fogarty, qui travaillait pour la chaîne mais qui était en vacances avec sa femme et ses enfants à Christchurch, séjournant au domicile de Dennis Grant, journaliste de TV One.

Le cameraman freelance de Wellington, David Crockett, a également été embauché avec son épouse Ngaire, qui exploitait le magnétophone.

Le groupe a été invité à monter à bord de l’avion Argosy de Safe Air basé à Blenheim, baptisé Merchant Enterprise, le 30 décembre, que les pilotes Bill Startup et Bob Guard prenaient pour un journal entre Wellington et Christchurch.

Les observations de Kaikoura en 1978 constituent l’un des plus grands mystères de la Nouvelle-Zélande et l’un des cas d’OVNI les mieux documentés au monde. Près de 40 ans plus tard, les événements étonnants restent inexpliqués. Les observations ont été confirmées par des observations visuelles au radar – et ont également été filmées en couleur à bord d’un cargo Argosy volant de Wellington à Christchurch au sud dans la nuit du 31 décembre 1978.

Peu de temps après le décollage, les pilotes ont remarqué d’étranges lumières apparaître et disparaître sur la côte de Kaikōura à environ 20 miles à l’ouest.

« Tandis que nous filmions une scène devant la caméra, le capitaine Bill Startup nous a crié que nous devions nous rendre immédiatement au poste de pilotage, car quelque chose se reproduisait », a déclaré David Crockett.

Il a réussi à filmer une lumière blanche brillante se déplaçant rapidement.

« Avec la conversation venant des pilotes et du radar de Wellington, tout a commencé à devenir très effrayant », a déclaré Ngaire Crockett.

« J’ai été capable de me lever plusieurs fois et j’ai pu voir cette lumière brillante qui allait et venait. Quentin était dans un état de stress, il m’a saisi par les mains et a commencé à trembler. Je n’ai pas eu le temps de m’inquiéter moi-même, je devais l’aider. « 

---

L’avion a atterri à Christchurch pour décharger les journaux et les pilotes ont demandé aux journalistes s’ils souhaitaient revenir dans la région qu’ils avaient traversée. Ngaire était trop effrayé alors resta à Christchurch. Les autres ont repris l’avion avec Dennis Grant à la place de Ngaire.

« David avait utilisé tout le film dans son appareil photo 16 mm », explique Grant.

« Quentin m’a appelé peu après minuit de l’aéroport de Christchurch pour voir si je pouvais fournir un nouveau film. Je le pouvais – mais il y avait un problème: je voulais monter dans l’avion pour le vol à destination de Blenheim. »

L’avion a décollé à 02h16. Environ trois minutes après le décollage, le groupe a vu une lumière brillante et ronde à droite. Le radar de l’avion indiquait une cible dans la même direction à environ 18 milles marins.

On entendra plus tard Fogarty dire à la caméra: « Espérons qu’ils sont amicaux ».

Crockett a filmé la lumière pendant plusieurs minutes alors qu’elle semblait voyager avec l’avion.

Les images ont provoqué une frénésie dans le monde entier.

Lorsqu’ils se tournèrent vers elle, la lumière sembla réagir en s’éloignant de l’avion.

« L’expérience en elle-même était extraordinaire », déclare Fogarty.

« Le fait de se trouver sur le pont d’envol bruyant et encombré de l’Argosy qui dévalait la côte en pleine nuit était passionnant. Pensez à une rangée de lumières palpitantes et hypnotiques planant à l’extérieur de la fenêtre, et cela passe à un autre niveau. »

Après avoir atterri à l’aéroport de Woodbourne vers 3 heures du matin, le groupe est resté dans les deux maisons des pilotes à Blenheim.

La fille de la start-up, Tracy Moore, se souvient du retour de son père à la maison au milieu de la nuit.

« Tout le monde était à la maison pour en parler au milieu de la nuit. Ils parlaient de lumières, de radars inexpliqués.

« À un moment donné, je me souviens que papa avait dit que ce serait une bonne idée de le signaler à la police. C’était pendant la guerre froide, il y avait un peu de paranoïa autour. Maman a dit: » Vous ne pouvez pas rester sur cette information  » .

«C’était effrayant à ce moment-là. C’était une chose inconnue qui s’était produite et nous étions tous des adultes autour pour en discuter. Il n’y avait aucune blague.»

Fogarty a interviewé les pilotes avant de s’envoler pour Melbourne pour confier les enregistrements à Channel 0. Les images ont été diffusées aux heures de grande écoute cette nuit-là et un documentaire plus long a été projeté plus tard.

Les nouvelles ont fait le tour du monde et ont été présentées par les principaux médias, notamment le Herald et le présentateur de CBS, Walter Cronkite.

La réaction sceptique fut immédiate. Les explications incluaient qu’il s’agissait de Vénus, de la drogue, de la lumière réfléchie par les choux ou les calmars.

Le gouvernement Robert Muldoon a ordonné à l’armée de l’air de mener une enquête, qui concluait que les observations pouvaient être expliquées par des phénomènes naturels mais inhabituels.

Leonard Lee s’est rendu aux États-Unis pour donner le film à Bruce Maccabee, un physicien optique spécialisé en technologie laser et ayant travaillé pour la US Navy dans le Maryland, en Virginie. Il a également été envoyé en Nouvelle-Zélande et à Melbourne pour interroger des témoins.

Il a conclu que l’événement impliquait des objets inconnus ou des phénomènes correspondant à la définition des OVNIS.

« On pourrait penser que la conclusion selon laquelle plusieurs des observations auraient impliqué des objets non identifiés volant impunément dans l’espace aérien néo-zélandais aurait été suffisante pour entamer une étude encore plus approfondie des OVNIS », a déclaré Maccabee.

« Mais ce n’était pas le cas. Les observations ont été reléguées à la poubelle de l’histoire, oubliées de tous, à l’exception des témoins et de quelques ufologues qui ont discuté des divers événements d’observation pendant des années. »

Bruce Maccabee, photographié en 1979, a examiné des images du supposé OVNI.

Il dit que 39 ans après la diffusion de la séquence de Kaikōura, en décembre 2017, les principaux médias ont rapporté des observations d’OVNI par des membres de la marine américaine lors d’exercices d’entraînement.

Il a ajouté qu’ils impliquaient plusieurs témoins et de multiples sources d’informations, telles que le radar d’un navire de guerre au niveau de la mer, un radar dans les avions à réaction de la Marine, des caméras vidéo visibles et infrarouges dans les avions.

Mais l’incident semble avoir été oublié.

« L’histoire semble se répéter. »

Après sa victoire dans le monde, Quentin Fogarty, originaire de Dunedin, a souffert d ’« épuisement nerveux »et a été hospitalisé pendant quelques semaines.

« Le niveau de scepticisme initial à la fois m’a surpris et parfois bouleversé. Je ne m’attendais certainement pas à être accusé d’avoir mis la main à la pâte. Cette blessure profonde est encore là.

« Le tabloïd du quotidien local de Melbourne m’a qualifié de » journaliste d’OVNI « et cela a duré peu de temps, mais il n’a pas fallu longtemps pour que je reprenne mon rôle de journaliste à la télévision, traitant de sujets plus banals. »

Fogarty, un père de quatre enfants qui vit toujours à Melbourne, a déclaré qu’il s’était efforcé de raconter l’histoire de la manière la plus précise et la plus impartiale possible.

« Nous avions un film, nos propres comptes rendus de témoins oculaires et la confirmation de l’équipage de conduite et des contrôleurs aériens que nous étions tombés sur quelque chose d’étonnant.

Fogarty, qui a commencé sa carrière chez Evening Star de Dunedin, a écrit un livre sur l’expérience de 1982, espérons qu’ils sont amicaux , et reste convaincu qu’une analyse informatique améliorée du film pourrait permettre de trouver des réponses.

« Quarante ans plus tard, il s’agit toujours d’un travail inachevé. »

David Crockett a eu des soucis de santé, quelques effets après avoir filmé des objets étranges.

«À ce jour, l’incident n’a jamais quitté mon esprit. Je me souviens également de l’événement de personnes qui se sont approchées de moi et m’ont dit:« Je t’ai vu l’autre soir sur Discovery ou Science Channel ».

« L’effet de cette observation historique sur nous tous a certainement inclus beaucoup de stress. De mon côté, j’ai été insomniaque  pendant plusieurs nuits et, après avoir donné plusieurs conférences à l’étranger sur cette observation, j’ai été très déprimé. »

Crockett, qui vit maintenant à Hawaii, où il travaillait comme producteur de mangues, a réalisé un documentaire sur l’incident et a donné des conférences qui l’ont fait voyager à travers le monde. Il espère réaliser un nouveau documentaire pour marquer les 40 ans.

« Cela a considérablement changé ma vie. À cette époque de l’histoire des phénomènes OVNIS, les sceptiques pensaient que nous étions fous et nous critiquaient de nombreuses manières. En 1978, la plupart des gens ne considéraient pas sérieusement qu’il s’agissait d’un objet réel et  qui pouvait même provenir de d’autres planètes.«

Au fil des ans, Grant a amassé une collection massive de journaux et de magazines. Il a parcouru des archives officielles en Australie et en Nouvelle-Zélande et a déposé des demandes officielles d’information pour des fichiers oubliés depuis longtemps.

« Les résultats sont extrêmement inutiles pour expliquer les lumières et ce qu’ils faisaient dans le ciel d’été solitaire de la Nouvelle-Zélande. Quarante ans plus tard, je suis toujours très curieux. »

« Mes petits-enfants adorent entendre l’histoire de mes contacts avec des OVNIS, je souhaite juste pouvoir fournir une conclusion. »

Grant travaillait chez TV One (maintenant TVNZ 1) à Christchurch en 1978 et vit maintenant en Australie.

« J’étais un jeune journaliste à l’époque, enflammé du zèle de raconter des histoires inédites, et j’ai aidé à raconter cette histoire. Mais le reste du monde, les scientifiques, les responsables, les militaires et – le plus triste pour moi – les médias , ont tous été consommés avec indifférence. Incurieux. « 

Alors, croit-il aux OVNIS?

« Je suis tout à fait sceptique quant à la notion de petits hommes verts, de sondes anales martiennes et de tout le reste. Je note que le nombre d’observations d’OVNI a considérablement diminué depuis que les caméras vidéo et numériques ainsi que les caméras de téléphone sont devenues facilement disponibles. nous avons vu que la nuit au-dessus de Kaikōura n’était pas identifiée et l’est toujours. «

Désactivé, Argosy se trouve maintenant sur un terrain près de l’aéroport de Marlborough, propriété du cinéaste de Blenheim, Paul Davidson.

Il a acheté l’avion en 1991 après avoir appris qu’il devait être mis au rebut. Il a dit au directeur général de Safe Air qu’il paierait ce qu’il aurait obtenu du revendeur de ferraille.

L’avion avait une signification particulière pour lui. En 2009, Davidson a réalisé un documentaire présentant des interviews avec les pilotes et l’équipage de 1978.

Davidson, dont le domicile se trouve à proximité de l’avion, a restauré l’avion et effectue des expériences de simulation de vol, avec des films en vol racontant l’histoire de Safe Air – et des repas.

Les passagers peuvent dîner au café Argosy, à côté de l’avion, qui sert de terminal où ils peuvent récupérer leurs cartes d’embarquement et se rendre à leur porte pour faire l’expérience. Il y a aussi des souvenirs exposés.

L’avion est situés en face de la maison de Davidson.

« Nous l’avons remonté et rangé. C’est unique à Marlborough. »

À partir de jeudi, pour coïncider avec la première observation étrange, Davidson organisera une expérience sur le thème des OVNIS.

Son documentaire sera projeté, les lumières seront tamisées et une « atmosphère fantasmagorique » sera créée.

« Les gens peuvent s’asseoir à leur place, là où le capitaine Startup s’est assis. »

« C’est le seul endroit au monde où vous pouvez faire cela. »

Alors, Davidson croit-il aux OVNIS?

« Je crois en leur possibilité. »

« J’ai appris à connaître les deux pilotes avec mon documentaire. Ils en ont eu marre de dire: » Ce sont probablement les phares de voitures ou de calmars « . Ce sont des pilotes professionnels. » Nous savons à quoi Vénus ressemble, ce n’était pas Vénus « .

« Tout le monde à bord a déclaré que l’événement avait eu un effet traumatisant sur leur vie. »

How the 40-year-old mystery of a UFO in New Zealand lives on

Pilots and passengers saw something unusual on their flight from New Zealand, which sparked a national frenzy. Years later, they’re still stumped.

It was New Year’s Day, 1979, when the world woke to the news that strange lights had been spotted by six people on a plane off the New Zealand’s South Island.

Was it a UFO? No, said the sceptics. It was Venus, it was squid boats, it was radar returns from a field of cabbages.

But 40 years later, the two pilots and four passengers are adamant it was none of the above and are frustrated at being unable to find answers.

New Zealand’s The Herald on Sunday tracked down each member of the group around the world. One is a mango farmer in Hawaii, while another is an 80-year-old newlywed after her royal wedding-themed ceremony at her retirement village the night before Meghan and Harry’s big day.

The case bought instant fame — but no fortune — for some, before bringing shame and anger when they were accused of hoaxing the sighting. It broke up a marriage.

At the end of 1978, Australasia was in the grip of UFO fever. In October, 20-year-old Frederick Valentich disappeared while piloting a small Cessna 182 aircraft over Bass Strait while heading to King Island in Tasmania. Described as a “flying saucer enthusiast”, Valentich informed Melbourne air traffic control he was being accompanied by an unknown aircraft.

Two months later across the Tasman, on December 21, Safe Air pilots Vern Powell and Ian Pirie spotted strange lights while flying from Blenheim to Christchurch.

A producer for Melbourne’s Channel 0 (now Channel 10), Leonard Lee heard the news and tracked down reporter Quentin Fogarty, who worked for the channel but was on holiday with his wife and children in Christchurch, staying at TV Onejournalist Dennis Grant’s home.

Freelance Wellington cameraman David Crockett was also hired, along with his wife Ngaire, who operated the audiotape recorder.

The group were invited to jump aboard Safe Air’s Blenheim-based Argosy plane, named Merchant Enterprise, late on December 30, which pilots Bill Startup and Bob Guard were taking on a newspaper run between Wellington and Christchurch.

Shortly after takeoff, the pilots noticed strange lights appearing and disappearing over the Kaikōura coastline about 30 kilometres west.

“While we were filming a stand-up to camera, Captain Bill Startup shouted to us that we should go to the flight deck immediately as something was happening again,” says David Crockett.

He managed to film a rapidly moving, bright white light.

“With the conversation coming through my headphones from the pilots and radar from Wellington, it all started to get very scary,” says Ngaire Crockett.

“I was able to stand up a couple of times and was able to see these bright light coming and going. [Quentin] was a real mess and grabbed hold of both my hands and started shaking. I didn’t have time to worry about myself, I had to help him.”

The plane landed at Christchurch to unload newspapers and the pilots asked the news team if they wanted to go back through the area they had traversed. Ngaire was too frightened so stayed in Christchurch. The others reboarded the plane with Dennis Grant in Ngaire’s place.

“David had used up all the film in his 16mm camera,” Grant says.

“Quentin called me sometime after midnight from Christchurch Airport to see if I could provide a fresh roll of film. I could — but there was a catch — I wanted to get on the plane for the flight to Blenheim.”

The plane took off at 2.16am. About three minutes after takeoff, the group saw a bright, round light to the right. The aeroplane radar showed a target in the same direction about 18 nautical miles.

Fogarty would later be heard saying on camera: “Let’s hope they’re friendly.”

Crockett filmed the light for several minutes as it appeared to travel along with the plane.

When they turned toward it, the light seemed to react by moving away from the aeroplane.

“The experience itself was extraordinary,” Fogarty says.

“Just being on the cramped, noisy flight deck of the Argosy barrelling down the coast in the dead of the night was exciting. Factor in a row of pulsating, hypnotic lights hovering outside the window, and it goes to another level.”

After landing at Woodbourne Airport at about 3am, the group stayed at the two pilots homes in Blenheim.

Startup’s daughter Tracy Moore remembers her father coming home in the middle of the night.

“Everyone was at our house talking about it in the middle of the night. They were talking about lights, unexplained radar.

“At one point, I remember dad saying it might be a good idea to report it to the police. It was during the Cold War, there was a bit of paranoia around. Mum said: ‘You can’t sit on this information’.

“It was scary at the time. It was a big unknown thing that had happened and we had all the adults around discussing it. There were certainly no jokes being made.”

Fogarty interviewed the pilots before flying to Melbourne to give the recordings to Channel 0. The footage featured on prime time news that night and a longer documentary piece screened later.

The news went around the world and was featured by major news media, including by the Herald and by CBS anchorman Walter Cronkite.

The sceptical reaction was immediate. Explanations included that it was Venus, drug runners, light reflected from cabbages or squid boats.

The Robert Muldoon Government ordered an inquiry by the Air Force, which concluded that the sightings could be explained by natural but unusual phenomena.

Leonard Lee travelled to the US to give the film to Bruce Maccabee, an optical physicist who specialised in laser technology and worked for the US Navy in Maryland, Virginia. He was also flown to New Zealand and Melbourne to interview witnesses.

He concluded the event involved unknown objects or phenomena fitting the definition of UFOs.

“One would think that the conclusion that several of the sightings involved unidentified objects flying with impunity in the New Zealand air space would have been sufficient to start an even deeper study of the UFOs,” Maccabee says.

“But it wasn’t. The sightings were relegated to the dustbin of history, forgotten by all except the witnesses and a few ufologists who discussed the various sighting events for years afterward.”

He says that 39 years after the Kaikōura footage emerged, in December 2017, major media carried reports of UFO sightings by US Navy personnel during training exercises.

He says they involved multiple witnesses and multiple sources of information such as battleship radar at sea level, radar in the Navy jet aeroplanes, visible and infra-red video cameras in the aeroplanes.

But the incident appears to have been forgotten.

“History appears to be repeating itself.”

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

The Herald on Sunday caught up with the pilots and passengers.

Journalist Quentin Fogarty, 72

After his world scoop, Dunedin-born Quentin Fogarty suffered from “nervous exhaustion” and ended up in hospital for a couple of weeks.

“The level of initial scepticism both surprised and, at times, overwhelmed me. I certainly did not expect to be accused of hoaxing the whole thing. That cut deep, it still does.

“The local daily tabloid in Melbourne branded me as the ‘UFO Reporter’, and that stuck for a short time, but it did not take long for me to be back in my role as a TV journalist reporting on more mundane matters.”

Fogarty, a father of four who still lives in Melbourne, says he endeavoured to report the story as accurately and as impartially as he could.

“We had film, our own eyewitness accounts and confirmation from the flight crew and air traffic controllers that we had stumbled into something astonishing.

Fogarty, who started his career at Dunedin’s Evening Star wrote a book about the experience in 1982, Let’s Hope They’re Friendly, and remains convinced that enhanced computer analysis of the film might get closer to finding answers.

“Forty years down the track, this is still unfinished business.”

Pilot Bill Startup, 85

Startup now lives in a rest home in Blenheim. He had a stroke a three years after the incident and had to retire from flying.

He wrote a book the following year, The Kaikōura UFOs, his daughter says, to clear up the misinformation doing the rounds. The same year, Startup then took his wife Shirley and children to visit Bruce Maccabee in the US.

Shirley, who died in 2012, was interviewed in 2008 and said a psychiatrist had thought the men had lost their faith in God and were seeing angels.

Startup, who was not well enough to be interviewed by the Herald on Sunday, told a documentary in 2009: “What it was all those years ago … I wish I knew. People can think what they want but they were not in the aircraft.”

Startup did not dwell on the experience, Moore says.

“Over the years there has been periodic interest, so he was being visited every one to two years from reporters all over. But he didn’t bring it up.”

She didn’t get the impression he truly believed it was UFO.

“He’d seen something that he did not know what it was, and his colleagues couldn’t come up with an explanation. He had no thoughts that he ever communicated to us.”

Co-pilot Bob Guard, 73

Guard has never said too much about the strange lights.

“One of the issues for me is we were just doing our job. We suddenly had to justify ourselves. We didn’t know what the hell it was.

“We didn’t expect to see anything. It was a bit tense as it got closer to the aircraft.”

“I got over it. Have I ever seen anything like that again? No I haven’t. Do I believe in UFOs? No I don’t. Pilots see a lot of unidentified flying things.

“Would I tell anyone if I saw anything like that again? No I wouldn’t. It’s not worth the hassle.”

Research followed the sightings but he says “some were a sham — they used newspaper articles for their research”.

Guard stopped working for Safe Air in 1990 and went on to work at Air Nelson. He was the flight operations manager when he retired, aged 65, in 2010.

His children and grandchildren were aware of the story but it is not “something that has taken over their lives”.

Sound recorder Ngaire Crockett, 80

The Crocketts, who had five children, separated soon after the incident.

Ngaire is now Ngaire Gilmore after her new marriage to husband Ray Gilmore.

The pair, who met during a blind date eight years ago, married in a surprise ceremony at the Julia Wallace Retirement Village in Palmerston North the day before Meghan and Harry’s nuptials this year.

Residents dressed up in royal wedding theme for happy hour but didn’t know they were attending a real wedding.

“Has this film changed my life?” asks Gilmore.

“I guess it did. We had phone call after phone call and people knocking on our door. David and the reporter became so obsessed that the doco was all they talked about. I switched off as we had five children and it was effecting all our lives.”

Cameraman David Crockett, 85

David Crockett dealt with health a handful of effects after filming the strange objects.

“To this very day, the incident has never left my mind. I am also reminded of the event by people who come up to me and say, ‘I saw you the other night on the Discovery or Science Channel’.

“The effect this historic sighting has had on all of us has certainly included a fair amount of stress. As for me, I was sleepless for several nights, and after having performed several overseas lectures on this sighting, became quite depressed.

Crockett, who now lives in Hawaii where he worked as a mango farmer, made a documentary about the incident, and gave lectures, which took him around the world. He is hoping to make a new documentary to mark the 40-year anniversary.

“It substantially changed my life. At that time in the history of the UFO phenomena, sceptics thought we were crazy, and criticised us in many ways. In 1978, most persons would not seriously consider that these were real object and may even originate from other planets.”

TV journalist Dennis Grant, 66

Over the years Grant has amassed a massive collection of a newspaper and magazine stories. He’s scoured official records in Australia and New Zealand and lodged official information applications for long-forgotten files.

“The results are overwhelmingly unhelpful in explaining the lights and what they were doing in the lonely summer skies of New Zealand. Forty years on I’m still very curious.

“My grandkids love to hear the story of my brush with UFOs, I just wish I could provide an ending.”

Grant was working at TV One (now TVNZ 1) in Christchurch in 1978 and now lives in Australia.

“I was a young journalist back then, fired with the zeal of telling stories untold, and I helped tell this story. But the rest of the world, the scientists, the officials, the military and — saddest of all for me — the media, were all consumed with indifference. Incurious.”

So does he believe in UFOs?

“I am entirely sceptical of the notion of little green men, Martian anal probes and all the rest of it. I note that the number of UFO sightings has greatly diminished since video and digital cameras and phone cameras have became readily available. However, what we saw that night over Kaikōura was unidentified and still is.”

The Argosy

The decommissioned Argosy now sits on land near the Marlborough Airport owned by Blenheim filmmaker Paul Davidson.

He purchased the aircraft in 1991 after hearing it was to be scrapped, telling the Safe Air general manager he would pay what he would have got from the scrap dealer.

The aircraft had special meaning to him — in 2009, Davidson made a documentary, featuring interviews with the pilots and crew from 1978.

Davidson, whose home is on land adjacent to the aircraft, has restored and refurbished the aircraft and runs flight simulation experiences, complete with in-flight movies telling the story of Safe Air — and meals.

Passengers can dine at the Argosy Cafe, next to the plane, which acts as a terminal where they can collect their boarding passes and go to their gate for the experience. There is also memorabilia on display.

“We put it back together and tidied it up. It’s unique to Marlborough.”

From Thursday, to coincide with the first strange sighting, Davidson will be running a UFO-themed experience.

His documentary will be screened, lights will be dimmed on-board and a “spooky atmosphere” created.

“People can sit in actual seat Captain Startup sat in.

“It’s the only place in the world where you can do that.”

So, does Davidson believe in UFOs?

“I believe in the possibility of them.

“I got to know both pilots with my documentary. They got sick of people saying ‘It was probably the lights of cars, or lights of squid boats’. These were professional pilots. ‘We know what Venus looks like, this was not Venus’.

“Everyone on board has said the event had a traumatic effect on their lives.”

It’s known as the British Roswell. It has been studied by the British government, UFO experts, military investigators, conspiracy theorists and reality TV shows and written about in dozens of books and on hundreds of magazines and websites. It’s best known as the 1980 Rendlesham Forest Incident and has been considered “unexplained” … until possibly now. An anonymous tip from an alleged insider to a British UFO investigator has led to a stunning revelation that the Rendelsham Forest Incident may have actually been an elaborate prank performed by the Special Air Service (SAS) of the British Army on US Air Force personnel stationed at two former RAF bases nearby as revenge for alleged mistreatment by the US military. Is any of this true? Will books have to be rewritten?

“They called us aliens! Right, we’ll show them what aliens really look like!”

If this gets turned into a movie, that should be the opening line … with a British accent. Dr. David Clarke, a lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University and recognized UFO ‘expert’ for Britain’s Ministry of Defence and the media, says that’s what British special forces soldiers said after their alleged experience with the US Air Force. Clarke reveals in a detailed article on his website that he received this info over three years ago from a person claiming to be an SAS insider who told him: “(It’s) about time that the truth is revealed.”

According to the insider, SAS soldiers secretly parachuted into RAF Woodbridge on an August 1980 night to test the US security at the site. Radar detected the paratroopers despite their black parachutes and the soldiers were apprehended, interrogated for 18 hours and allegedly beaten up. During the entire ordeal, the Americans referred to them as “unidentified aliens” – a descriptive but innocent term that the British took as an insult.

“After their release, the troopers made no complaint at their rough treatment but determined to get their own back on the USAF for the beating that they had received.”

The insider explained that that insulting “aliens” comment inspired the special forces to plan a UFO prank. He was told that the soldiers used black helium balloons and remote-controlled kites to carry lights and colored flares into the sights of the US base personnel, triggering a panicked response that the British thoroughly enjoyed. Then things started to get out of hand.

“Unfortunately, a senior US officer (Lt Col Halt) led the US contingent out into the forest on the second night and took along his tape recorder. The hovering and whizzing lights were sufficiently impressive for him to send a report to the MoD. Someone in London recalled the events of the previous August and questions were asked. A few red faces but also some satisfaction and amusement followed… The USAF was “reassured” at a very senior level and no UK investigation was undertaken – for obvious reasons!”

The informant swore all of this was true. Unfortunately for him he told it to the wrong guy. Clarke first contacted Robin Horsfall, a former SAS sniper and member of the famous Special Forces operation that stormed the Iranian Embassy in 1980 to free hostages. He said he would have heard about such a seemingly great prank through the SAS grapevine, but if he did, he wouldn’t have believed it or the August incident that allegedly triggered it.

“We did undertake planned training actions against British military establishments but never against those of the US forces. Working against US units with live ammunition without strict safety protocols could have got people killed with huge political ramifications. The idea of a revenge prank by [SAS] isn’t plausible as the rules controlling pyrotechnical devices within the regiment were very strict and any such action could have resulted in those involved being returned to unit.”

Then Clarke went to Col. Ted Conrad, the US Base Commander at the time of the incidents who ordered police from the 81st Security Squadron to conduct an informal investigation of the UFO sightings in the forest reported by his personnel. He disagreed first with the “aliens” comment.

“US bases are not on US soil, rather all of them remain on sovereign British soil…US citizens who are stationed and work there are the “aliens”.”

And then with the alleged capture and beatings.

“The SSA was guarded 24/7/365 by armed, trained security personnel who were instructed to shoot to kill, if necessary, to prevent a breach. It is unthinkable that either side would conduct such an exercise against an important facility where real weapons and ammo were present. The alleged rough treatment of British Special Forces by one US Lieutenant from the 67 ARRS is also unthinkable, but if it had been reported by complaint, the offender would have been more impacted by our disciplinary action that mounting a fake UFO landing could possibly have had.”

Those are the comments of military personnel in the know on both sides. Do they have any reason to lie or cover up the alleged prank? What does Clarke think? His PhD is in British folklore, which explains his analysis:

“So there we have it folks: another winter’s tale from the Rendlesham forest. The truth, though, remains persistently out there.”

It’s still a GREAT movie plot.

Was UK’s most notorious UFO sighting a REVENGE PRANK played on US airmen by SAS commandos?

But now, Dr. David Clarke, a researcher at Sheffield Hallam University, who once managed Britain’s national UFO sightings archive, says that he has found a less far-fetched explanation. Courtesy of a Special Air Service “insider”named “Frank,” who personally contacted the academic who has spent the past three years trying to get to the bottom of the mystery, which has been labeled Britain’s own Roswell.

According to the source the root of the incident goes back to August 1980, when British SAS commandos made a practice landing inside the USAF base, in a live exercise intended to challenge their American allies – a rare but known practice during the Cold War.

But instead of receiving a friendly telling off, the team was allegedly hauled off into cells, mauled, and interrogated at length by US officers, who referred to them as “unidentified aliens.”

“After their release, the troopers made no complaint at their rough treatment but were determined to get their own back on the USAF for the beating that they had received,” said Clarke, quoted in the Daily Mail.

“In particular, their repeated characterization as ‘aliens’ sowed the seeds of a plan. They said: ‘They called us aliens. Right, we'll show them what aliens really look like.’”

So come Christmas, the British supposedly created several contraptions using the materials at hand, such as remote-controlled kites, helium balloons, and colored flares, and launched them into the sky.

If anything, the prank purportedly worked too well – when the US side sent an official report to the UK Ministry of Defence.

“Someone in London recalled the events of the previous August and questions were asked. A few red faces – but also some satisfaction and amusement – followed,” said Clarke.

The USAF was ‘reassured’ at a very senior level and no UK investigation was undertaken – for obvious reasons.”

According to Clarke, who says that he followed up the claims with several officials from the era, this is the reason for what some say appears to have been a continuously blasé reaction from the UK authorities to the incident.

While “Frank’s” yarn is interesting in itself, for determined conspirologists – several men present on the nights of the sightings – who have claimed that the case has been deliberately hushed up by the military, this will likely be treated as a new red herring, put out by the government to throw them off the scent.

Rise in mysterious 'TR-3B UFO sightings' sparks PANIC over 'top-secret US military plans'

THERE has been a shocking rise in alleged TR-3B triangular UFO sightings across the world - with the most recent footage showing the bizarre aircraft close to a US airbase in Ohio.

By OLI SMITH

A recent jump in the number of sightings of alleged TR-3B aircrafts has sparked a panic among online conspiracy communities. Experts fear that there “is something going on” amid concern over top-secret US military experiments or the involvement of extraterrestrials. Michael, of the YouTube channel MrMBB333, posted the latest sighting of the alleged TR-3B in Toledo, Ohio.

He said: “According to the guy who filmed this, it had circled over his neighbourhood at least three times.

It looks like a perfect triangle. You cannot see anything except the lights.

“I’ve tried to put on different light filters to get a clearer picture but all you see are the bright lights.

“We are seeing a lot of these lately - especially in Ohio.

“Something is going on."

The footage shows that the object has a large light in the centre of the triangle, a smaller light in the front and three more across the back.

Viewers remarked the “triangle-shaped crafts are everywhere these days”.

One user said: “I have a feeling were going to start seeing a lot more of this type of situation soon.”

The sighting took place just a few miles from the Wright-Patterson air Force Base - raising concern of US military involvement.

TR-3Bs are a common feature among UFO sightings as large, silent, black triangular objects often spotted at night.

According to government officials, the TR-3B “does not exist".

The theory around these crafts claim they are created at top-secret military bases like Area 51 in Nevada, by reverse engineering alien technology.

Others claim they are actual UFOs flown by aliens visiting Earth.

There have been other sightings of triangular UFOs recently in Russia and North Carolina.

Has the mystery of 'Britain's Roswell' finally been solved? Rendlesham Forest UFO 'landing' was a prank SAS tricksters played on US Airmen, insiders claim

• Rendlesham Forest incident in Suffolk, has intrigued UFO enthusiasts since 1980 
• Military personnel said they saw lights flying in the woods in December that year
• The group was largely convinced they had witnessed an alien spacecraft
• Yet it has now been claimed that the extraterrestrial sighting was a hoax

By JESSICA GREEN FOR MAILONLINE

Dubbed ‘Britain’s Roswell’, the Rendlesham Forest incident in Suffolk, has intrigued UFO enthusiasts since taking place in December 1980.

On three separate nights just before the New Year, military personnel said they saw lights flying in the sky and descending into the woodland - the group was convinced they had seen an alien spacecraft. 

Yet it has now been claimed that the extraterrestrial sighting was a hoax, played on the US air force by the SAS in revenge for capturing a squad and subjecting them to a brutal interrogation.

Since the incident in 1980, Rendlesham Forest has become a site of endless speculation for UFO chasers 

The SAS were said to have regularly tested US security by probing the perimeters of RAF Woodbridge in the English county, which allegedly stored Nuclear warheads and was believed to be a key target for Soviet agents.

But when an SAS troop parachuted into the complex one night in August 1980 they were unaware the guards had upgraded their radar system.

Their black parachutes were immediately detected and the British were hauled off for questioning.

They claimed they were beaten up by their captors who refused to believe who they were and repeatedly referred to as ‘unidentified aliens’, before being released 18 hours later after the British authorities intervened.

Seething from the interrogation, SAS soldiers were keen to take revenge.

British X-Files expert Dr David Clarke, who has been researching the story for three years, revealed: ‘After their release, the troopers made no complaint at their rough treatment but were determined to get their own back on the USAF for the beating that they had received.

‘In particular, their repeated characterisation as “aliens” sowed the seeds of a plan. They said: “They called us aliens. Right, we'll show them what aliens really look like.”’

As December approached, lights and coloured flares were rigged in Rendlesham Forest. Black helium balloons were also coupled to remote-controlled kites to carry suspended materials into the sky, activated by radio-controls.

Taking place over three nights between 26 and 28 December in 1980, military personnel from nearby RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge witnessed strange lights in the woods and hovering above the airbases which were on high alert as the Cold War was at its peak.

‘A great deal of nocturnal Christmas fun was had at the expense of the USAF - and the matter should have ended there,’ according to a letter written to Dr Clarke by an alleged SAS source.

‘Unfortunately, a senior US officer (Lt Col Halt) led the US contingent out into the forest on the second night and took along his tape recorder.

‘The hovering and whizzing lights were sufficiently impressive for him to send a report to the MoD.

‘Someone in London recalled the events of the previous August and questions were asked. A few red faces - but also some satisfaction and amusement - followed.

‘The USAF was 'reassured' at a very senior level and no UK investigation was undertaken - for obvious reasons.’

Dr Clarke said he was first contacted three years ago by ‘Frank’ who claimed to be a SAS insider.

He had seen Dr Clarke talking about Rendlesham on a TV documentary and felt ‘it was about time that the truth was revealed about the incident’.

Dr Clarke, of the Centre for Contemporary Legend at Sheffield Hallam University, said: ‘I investigated his incredible story by talking to trusted and open sources in the British military, including some high profile former SAS troopers.

‘What happened in the forest, according to Frank, would be bread and butter for special operation soldiers trained to deceive and misinform whilst remaining invisible.’

UFO sighting in San Diego? Shock claim ‘cloaked’ alien spaceship seen monitoring US city

A UFO was spotted in the skies above San Diego, leaving locals of the Californian city worried that they are being WATCHED by aliens.

UFO sighting in San Diego? Shock claim ‘cloaked’ alien spaceship seen monitoring US city

One resident of San Diego managed to capture an image of what he believes is a UFO – or at least a spaceship which is under a cloaking device. The image shows a strange circular, low-lying cloud which resembles a classic flying saucer. While many have claimed this is just an odd cloud formation, some UFO experts believe it is an alien spaceship which is trying to keep a low profile.

Conspiracy theorists believe that UFOs sometimes resemble clouds, as this way they can monitor the public without making them aware that they are being watched.

Prominent alien hunter Scott C Waring uploaded the picture to his blog, UFO Sightings Daily, writing: “This UFO photo was sent in by a Twitter follower in San Diego today. They noticed a UFO shaped cloud floating overhead unusually low compared to other clouds.

“The fact that this cloud was so low was clearly suspicious, however its shape totally gives away the true shape of the UFO.

“It is a huge disk as you can see from the lines at the bottom of the craft.

“UFOs often create cloud cover around them when they want to fly unusually low to scan the residence below.

“This way they do not frighten anyone and people who see the cloud only shrug their shoulders and ignore it.

“However occasionally a person can sense being watched and will notice the cloaked UFO and take its photo to share with others.”

However, it would seem that the most likely explanation would be apophenia – where the brain recognises specific patterns in things.

If someone has hinted something looks like a UFO for example, the brain will try to picture it in that way.
