Hovering lights above Myrtle Beach spark UFO theories

Mysterious lights were spotted above Myrtle Beach, SC, in August, raising questions about what the lights were and where they came from.

“UFOs over Myrtle Beach? Video catches mysterious lights over resort town,” reported The State, Columbia’s local newspaper, noting that the video was also posted to UFO Stalker, a UFO-centric website.

The video has also been uploaded to YouTube, with the description noting “A [massive] ‘spaceship’ was spotted apparently hovering over a beach during a thunderstorm.”

The person who submitted the video to MUFON said they were taking pictures and a time-lapse video of the 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.”

The video was taken on Aug. 5 but was only uploaded to the website on Oct. 4, 59 days later.

UFOs over Myrtle Beach? Video catches mysterious lights over resort town

BY CHARLES DUNCAN

A time-lapse video taken from a pier in Myrtle Beach appears to show mysterious lights hovering above Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

The video, posted to the Mutual UFO Network website, appears to show a series of lights hovering in the night sky over the resort town.

The person who submitted the video to the UFO sighting website said they were taking pictures and a time lapse of a thunderstorm from a pier. “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,” the person wrote.

The video was posted on the UFO Stalker website late last week, but the person said they shot the time-lapse on Aug. 5.

• YouTube user UFO Zone also published the video, calling the signing a “massive spaceship.”

The video of lights apparently hovering over Myrtle Beach isn’t the only space-related mystery in South Carolina recently.

This item washed ashore on an island near Charleston, South Carolina. What is it?

Lowcountry Marine Mammal Network

Last week a “mysterious object” washed ashore on Seabrook Island, about 24 miles south of Charleston.

The Lowcounty Marine Mammal Network posted photos of the object on its Facebook page Thursday. The organization said it looked like concrete but actually felt like “a soft foam,”

In June an apparent UFO sighting off Myrtle Beach drew some media attention after people saw bright orbs in the sky off the beach.

The U.S. Army and Myrtle Beach festival organizers chimed in quickly after those reports. It turned out, Sun Fun Festival organizers told The Sun News, the U.S. Army’s Golden Knights parachute team was doing its annual “pyro jump.”

The Army team parachuted from above Myrtle Beach with lights and landed on the beach in the middle of town, festival organizers said.

Kent's X-Files exposed: Government documents reveal all the UFOs sighted in the last 20 years

If alien life does exist, has it ever paid us a visit?

By Katie Boyden -Multimedia Reporter/ Gabriel Shepard - Senior Audience Content Editor

THIS IS THE CORRELATION BETWEEN TOAD ROCK AND ALIENS

The existence of little green men and extra-terrestrial life is a hotly debated topic, and science has yet to provide a concrete answer as to whether the residents of planet Earth are alone in the galaxy.

And if alien life does exist, has it ever paid us a visit?

UFOs - or Unidentified Flying Objects - have been mentioned in the UK since the 1950s, investigated by the Air Ministry which was then replaced by the Ministry of Defence.

The UK Government has never taken part in any long term monitoring of reports, and the MoD works on the assumption that almost every UFO report has a natural, human, explanation.

The British UFO Research Association (BUFORA) was formed in 1962 to document, and try to explain, sightings up and down the country.

They believe that every report made can be caused by the following sources:

• 40 per cent of reports are actually aircraft,
• 33 per cent of reports are actually stars and planets spotted in the sky,
• 10 per cent of reports are satellites and meteors entering the atmosphere,
• 8 per cent are described as being caused by 'other' causes, like birds, solar flares and clouds,
• 5 per cent of reports are actually weather or research balloons,
• 2 per cent are hoax reports,
• 2 per cent are chalked up as being hallucinations.

What happened to the last Kent Ufologist?

'Ufologist' is the title given to a person who studies reports, evidence and other phenomena related to UFOs.

One such UFO expert was Max Spiers, from Canterbury, who passed away under suspicious circumstances in June 2016.

Max reportedly sent a text message to his mother days before he died, saying: "If anything happens to me, investigate."

An inquest into his death was first opened in December 2016 in Canterbury, and then adjourned. As of November 8, 2017, the coroner had postponed another inquest until 'early 2018' as he still required more information.

An inquest into his death will now take place in January 2019, according to Metro.

A post-mortem examination to establish the cause of death was inconclusive. His death prompted intense speculation among conspiracy theorists that his death was deliberate.

Recent unexplained activity in Kent

In September 2017 the people of Tonbridge were mystified when an eerie aura-like light descended upon the town.

Explanations for the eerie phenomenon ranged from aliens, aluminium in the atmosphere, and the Aurora itself.

And in 2012, BUFORA recorded the sighting of a 'rare and unusual shape' flying through the sky in Wingham, near Canterbury.

It was described as: "A solid object - dark grey/black. It was pointed at the front and square like to the back, it had about five sides, like a classic diamond icon.

"There was absolutely no way I can think of to explain what I saw, and I have seen most kinds of aircraft in flight."

Kent Live can reveal every single UFO report made to the Ministry of Defence between 1997 and 2009.

6 Things You Should Know About UFOs and the X-Files

“They’re here, aren’t they?” said Fox Mulder, to his secret informant, known only to viewers as Deep Throat.

“Mr. Mulder,” began the old man, in a reprimanding tone, “They have been here for a long, long time.”

As many of you know, the X-Files came back in 2016 for a tenth season (approximtely 13 years after it went off the air); the revival was so successful that they did an eleventh season and plans are in the work for a season 12.

For those of you who don’t know, the X-Files was one of the most popular US TV series in the 1990s, at its height averaging 20 million viewers per episode. This September marked the 25 year anniversary of the premiere of the show!

The main protagonist Fox Mulder, is an FBI agent whose sister was taken from their room when he was a kid, in what Mulder believed was an alien abduction. This fueled his lifelong obsession with the paranormal and uncovering the truth about UFOs, Extraterrestrials, and a global conspiracy.

I watched the show religiously with friends, staying in on Friday nights when it first came on, before it got really popular and moved to Sunday nights. Years later, when I became an executive producer on the documentary Thrive: What On Earth Will It Take, made by Foster Gamble and Kimberly Carter Gamble (which involved UFOs), I started to do a little research on this subject on my own.

I originally collected this list for friends who knew about the X-File but didn’t know much about the UFO phenomenon that inspired the show. Since then, there has been quite a bit of activity in this field and the mainstream media with a news story in the New York Times (see item #5 below).

1. The X-Files wasn’t purely science fiction, according to Chris Carter.

Like many others fans, I took the X-Files to be “simply” an original work of science fiction from the show’s creator, Chris Carter. While the series is fiction, Carter himself will tell you that that many of the elements are based on real-life accounts.

When I started to investigate on my own, I started to meet people in the UFO community and started asking questions. The stories I heard sounded a lot like what I had seen in the X-files: bright unexplainable lights, triangular craft, missing time, even implants.

In fact, I was told by a mutual friend that Chris Carter discouraged his actors from attending science fiction conventions because the X-Files wasn’t purely science fiction. This is particularly true of the early episodes that involve UFO sightings: If you re-watch the very first X-files episode, Pilot, you’ll see that it says, “The following story is inspired by actual documented accounts” at the beginning of the episode.

I actually met Chris Carter a few years ago, just before they started filming the new season, at a UFO-related conference, and it was clear that he was continuing to research what people had to say on this subject. It turns out a lot of what was discussed at the conference actually made it into the new season.

2. Myth: Only people who wear tinfoil hats and tabloid reporters take UFOs seriously.

One of the persistent myths about UFOs is that people who believe in them are a “fringe” group who “live off the grid” and wear “tinfoil hats”. After having been to a dozen UFO events and meeting hundreds of UFO witnesses, I haven’t seen a single tinfoil hat (OK I saw one but that was for the benefit of reporters who wanted to take a photo of “weird UFO people”).

In fact, I have met intelligent people from all walks of life — scientists, engineers, people who worked for NASA, to independently wealthy businessmen and women. The only commonality I could find was confidence in what they’ve seen and experienced, and a strong belief that the “truth is out there” and that it should be investigated more seriously.

There are many well-known people who have had UFO sightings, and many who support finding out the truth. In Los Angeles, Dan Akroyd is a well known proponent of UFO research. (See Dan Akroyd Unplugged on UFOs).

John Podesta, who served as an advisor to President Obama and Chief of Staff to Bill Clinton, has been very vocal about his interest in the subject and his desire to get the truth out, a process known to UFO enthusiasts as “Disclosure”. John Podesta tweeted in 2014 that his biggest regret in working for the Obama White House was that he was unable to secure disclosure of top secret UFO files.

Hillary Clinton, was asked about UFOs by a reporter in Conway, New Hampshire while campaigning there in 2016. Mrs. Clinton said she believed we might have been visited by aliens in the past, and that if elected president, she would get to the bottom of it.

And UFOs are not just for tabloids. Leslie Kean, a serious investigative reporter, received a copy of a report from retired French generals that said that they believed the UFO phenomena was real and should be investigated seriously (called the “COMETA” report). Kean’s book, UFOs: General, Pilots ,and Government Officials Go On the Record, is a great book for those who know nothing about the phenomenon or are inclined to dismiss it out of hand. There have been many pilots, many members of the military, and many other government officials who have been willing to speak on and off the record and Ms Kean does a great job of presenting about this phenomenon. It’s a shame that this myth is so prevalent that many “serious” scientists and engineers won’t even take the time to read books like Ms Kean’s.

3. Myth: There is no evidence of UFOs.

Many skeptics say there is no evidence that UFOs exist. They’re not quite right.

First of all, let’s start with the tons of photographic evidence — photos of odd “unidentified” objects flying over both rural and urban landscapes. The next argument skeptics make is that these pictures are all photoshopped — a charge that doesn’t hold up when the photos are from the 60’s and 70’s — I’ve seen some of these older photos, some taken by the members of the military, and they are very convincing. Moreover, when there are multiple witnesses that corroborate the photographic evidence (like in the Phoenix lights incident — more on this one below), the skeptic’s view that they must all be doctored doesn’t really hold-up.

And then there are literally thousands of eyewitness reports –ranging from places like O’Hare airport to Rendlesham Forest in the UK (in a famous military sighting).

If that isn’t enough evidence for you, Emeritus Professor of applied physics at Stanford, Peter Sturrock has studied reports and asserts there is “physical evidence”: “radar”, Professor Sturrock tell us, counts as physical evidence of UFOs.

One such well-known incident over Alaska in 1986, where a Japan Air Lines pilot, Kenju Terauchi, was flying near Mt. McKinley when he reported seeing a UFO that was “dazzlingly bright, which stopped in mid air, followed them, and otherwise shot around them …”. Terauchi said there was no way an airplane could have done that.

John Callahan, the FAA Division Chief of the Accidents and Investigations branch, had the data from this incident, which covered more than a half hour. Callahan has testified many times about what he saw, “As far as I’m concerned, I saw a UFO chase a Japanese 747 across the sky for over half an hour on radar.”

If that’s still not enough to convince you that there is “some” evidence, in the abduction area, there have been physical objects (known as “implants”) that have been pulled out of abductees bodies. X-rays also count as physical evidence too. In some cases where doctors surgically extracted the implants, the metallic objects somehow evaporated; in other cases they were able to preserve them and found that they have unique “anomalous” structure, some were meant to be housed inside the human body and were only stable when implanted!

Whether you believe in aliens or not, these implants had to have been placed there by someone. The question is who? It’s unlikely abductees would have the surgical skill to put them there themselves — so who put them into their bodies? This question remains unanswered. In the original X-files, implants were a not insubstantial part of the story. Whenever the government got ahold of one, as at the end of the first episode of the X-Files, in a scene reminiscent of Raiders of the Lost Ark (or Warehouse 13 for younger syfy fans), they put it away in the midst of a giant government warehouse, to be lost forever in bureaucracy.

4. Myth: Sightings only happen in the countryside, only in the US, and only since we started flying airplanes.

Again, these are myths. There have been anomalous objects reported in the sky well before the modern era of airplanes, going back to the 1500s and beyond. In their wonderful book, “Wonders in the Sky”, Jacque Vallee ad Chris Aubeck have catalogued these sightings. Jacquee Vallee, a long time French UFO researcher, was in part the inspiration for the French scientist in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, made by another UFO believer, Stephen Spielberg. In one of the most famous pre-airplane incidents, in 1561 a number of spheres and disks, which were red, blue, and back, were seen to come out of two vertical cylinders over Nuremberg, Germany. The residents of the town reported that these objects seemed to be fighting each other — there’s even a well-known drawing of this image.

In recent times, one of the most famous mass sightings was the Phoenix Lights. In 1997, an estimated more than 10,000 people saw a set of triangularly arranged lights not just hovering but moving over the Phoenix metro area from North to South. There were numerous photographs of the incident, and a great book (along with a documentary) by Lynne Kitei, M.D., called called The Phoenix Lights.

At first, Arizona Governor Fife Symington III made fun of the sighting and the military tried to dismiss the lights as “military flares”. But this theory didn’t hold water — the lights stayed equidistance apart, as if they were part of a single, large craft. Later, the Governor admitted that he was lying, and that he too had seen some kind of large anomalous craft in the sky that night. You don’t have to take my word for it — you can go interview people who were living in Phoenix in 1997. One witness told me she looked up, and the stars dimmed and then weren’t visible — it was definitely some type of large craft and not individual flares.

There have been other mass sightings, in Mexico City, in Russia, in South America, and elsewhere. UFO sightings are not a modern phenomenon, they are not a US-only phenomenon. UFOs are a global phenomenon, and as his secret informant told Agent Mulder at the end of the second episode of the X-Files, “They have been here … for a long long time.”

5. The Pentagon and the US Government No Longer Take UFO sightings seriously.

After a wave of UFO sightings in the 1950s and 1960s, the government and DOD put together several high profile projects to collect and investigate sightings. Since project Blue Book was shut down in 1969, the official US government and Department of Defense lines on UFOs has been: We no longer collect or investigate UFO sightings.

Just last December, the New York Times, Glowing Auras and Black Money: The Pentagon’s Mysterious UFO Program , which was covered by media internationally, was the first acknowledgement by the Pentagon since the 1960’s that they were taking UFOs seriously. Luis Elisandro, who was in charge of the program says that they took sightings, particvularly military sightings quite seriously — the Advanced Aerospace Threat Detection Program. They even released some footage and eyewitness accounts of, among other things, a Tic Tac Toe shaped UFO that military pilots were baffled by. This effort was linked to Tom De Long, the former lead singer of the rock group Blink182, who is now a major proponent of UFO Disclosure.

6. Are UFOs top secret military craft that defy gravity?

In the second episode of the X-Files, Deep Throat, and in many episodes later in the series, witnesses at the edge of military bases see UFOs at night performing maneuvers that seem to defy the laws of inertia and gravity.

These scenes are actually based on many eyewitness reports of objects and lights that hold stationary in the sky, have no apparent sound, then “jump” horizontally or vertically to a new position in the blink of an eye. The fact that these sightings have occurred often near military bases has led many, particularly in the skeptic and scientific community, to assert that UFOs are really top secret military craft that the public does not know about.

This of course, begs the question, do we have top secret military craft that can defy the known laws of physics and gravity? If so, why doesn’t the so called “scientific community” know about the science between how these craft work, why are they being hidden, and why aren’t they more curious about them?

A respected NASA scientist, Paul Hill, decided to collect reports from eyewitnesses during his 25 years working for the space agency. He wrote a book (which he wasn’t allow to publish while working for NASA), called “Unconventional Flying Objects: A Scientific Analysis” that was later published by his daughter, in which he categorized these maneuvers (“sudden reversal of direction”, “acute angle turn”, etc.)

If these are top secret military vehicles, where did they get the basic design and aeronautic principles from? This “top secret” military craft has been reported to be disc-shaped, and can seemingly defy both inertia and gravity. This has led the UFO community to say these top-secret craft have “anti-gravity” technology. Where did it come from?

Mark McCandlish, an accomplished aerospace illustrator, was baffled when a friend in the military told McCandlish that he’d stumbled into a hanger that had a round, bell shaped craft that was hovering over the ground. It sounds like a scene out of Independence Day, not just the X-Files. McCandlish, who has illustrated top secret military aircraft based on descriptions for the covers of magazines like Popular Science, drew the components of the ARV, or Alien Reproduction Vehicle, as it’s been called, and his drawings are readily available on-line. It resembles many reports of UFOs, including rumors of the Nazi Bell — new type of bell-shaped flying craft that the Nazis were supposedly working on at the end of World War II.

Is The Truth Out There?

As in the X-Files series, many of these facts are unknown to the general public, or they are ridiculed by so-called “experts”. In fact, the entire premise of the TV series was that a scientist, a medical doctor, Dana Scully, was brought in to de-bunk Mulder’s “unscientific” theories. As she became more involved in the investigations, she came upon more and more items that could only be classified as “unexplained” and was forced to question her own views about science and the universe.

Professor Sturrock of Stanford, who did research on the attitudes of astronomers and members of the American Institute of Aeronautic and Astronautics (AIAA) found that the more time people spent reading this subject, the more they would come to the conclusion that there needs to be more serious scientific study of UFOs. Even many members of the AIAA had seen anomalous “unidentified flying objects” but would only admit this if they were kept anonymous. Why? Because it’s not a “fashionable” area for university research to get funding, and simply telling what you saw truthfully is not acceptable in most academic and scientific circles these days.

Similarly, too many of my friends in the scientific and engineering circles, tend to dismiss UFO lore and stories as simple “crazy stories by crazy people” without having done any research of their own. The less research they’ve done, the more likely they are to dismiss UFOs out of hand. It’s very easy to ridicule or demean a group of people on the internet — but if you take the time to get to know the people that are making these claims, like Dana Scully in the X-Files, you might just find that The Truth is Out There!

While we wait for the new episodes of the X-Files revival on January 24th, I’ll leave you with another great quote from the second episode of the X-Files:

“Mr. Mulder, why are those like yourself, who believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life on this earth, not dissuaded by all the evidence to the contrary?” asked the secret informant.

“Because,” began Fox Mulder, pausing for a second, “ … all the evidence to the contrary … is not entirely dissuasive.”

The old man nodded to Mulder in acknowledgement, and walked away quietly.

THE TOP UFO SIGHTINGS IN MODERN HISTORY, PART 1

• Note: don’t miss the Part 2 of the top UFO sightings in the modern era!

People have had UFO encounters since the dawn of recorded history (if not before), but with the advent of airplanes, cars, cameras and binoculars, sightings became much more common. Here are some of the most remarkable sightings of the modern era.

1. KENNETH ARNOLD, WASHINGTON STATE

Kenneth Arnold’s UFO Sighting Was Widely Reported

It started as a normal day for Kenneth Arnold in 1947. He was a private pilot, flying himself to Yakima, Washington for business. He took a small side trip, buzzing by Mt. Rainier to see if he could spot a U.S. Marine transport plane that had crashed recently—there was a $5,000 reward.

He didn’t find the plane, but what he did discover changed the world of ufology. During the flight, he saw several bright flashes. At first he thought they might just be reflections, but the “reflections” grew closer and larger, and he realized he was looking at flying objects. Geese? No, geese don’t fly at 1,200 MPH. A new type of jet? There were no contrails.

And, they were the wrong shape—they were, as Arnold put it, thin and convex. He later told reporters that the objects’ movement reminded him of saucers skipping across water, and thus was born the familiar term “flying saucers”.

2. THE BATTLE OF LOS ANGELES

The Large Triangular Craft That Frightened Los Angeles in 1942

It was 1942 and the United States was plunged into World War II. In February, only two months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, anti-aircraft guns started firing over the city of Los Angeles. Lights had appeared in the sky, witnessed by thousands, and everyone’s first assumption was that the Japanese were staging another attack.

Strangely, the anti-aircraft fire brought nothing down, even though radar showed an “unidentifiable aerial target” over the city. Some witnesses said they saw a large object hovering in the air. Later, a journalist’s photo of the battle scene (at right) sparked controversy among UFO skeptics and only deepened the mystery—it appears to show a large black triangular craft.

3. UFO CRASH AT ROSWELL

Sure, you’ve heard of the Roswell Incident. Skeptics like to say it’s the “most thoroughly debunked UFO claim” in the world. We disagree. You can’t “debunk” something by making up explanations.

It was a hot day in July 1947 when New Mexico rancher Mac Brazel was out on a remote part of the Foster ranch, and when he came across strange wreckage, he wasn’t sure what to think of it. Maybe the guys at the local military base, the 509th airfield, would know something about it. When Brazel took some officers, including Intelligence Officer Jesse Marcel, to see for themselves, the military men were stunned. It was clear to them that this was indeed a crashed vehicle—and that it wasn’t from this planet.

The story hit the news wires, and calls came in from around the world. General Roger Ramey rushed to the 509th base and concocted a story about a downed weather balloon. The story stuck—”General Ramey Empties Roswell Saucer” read the headlines—and those involved were warned to never reveal what they actually saw.

Later, in old age, Jesse Marcel felt compelled to reveal the truth, and the story became the stuff of legend.

4. UFOS BUZZ D.C.

It’s alarming enough for an air traffic controller to spot seven unknown objects on radar. But when Ed Nugent spotted them in Washington D.C. in July 1952, he realized they were headed toward the White House and the U.S. Capitol building—so he raised an alert. His radar unit checked out, not malfunctioning, and the blips showed up on other radar units as well. Then the objects were sighted by pilots in the area, moving at “an unbelievable speed”.

The objects vanished within 15 minutes, but a few days later, they were back. This time, strange flying lights were noticed by the flight crew on a commercial jet over D.C. They appeared yet again the next day. President Harry Truman was so shaken up by these events that he called the head of Project Blue Book, demanding an explanation. Soon after, a standing shoot-down order was given to Air Force pilots: if you see a UFO, fire on it immediately.

THE TOP UFO SIGHTINGS IN MODERN HISTORY, PART 2

You may also be interested in Part One of this two-part UFO series, where we cover other striking encounters with UFOs that landed, crashed, and buzzed by Earth landmarks.

1. UFO LANDING IN RENDLESHAM FOREST, UK

“I’ve gone on record saying Rendlesham might be the turning point in history that leads to the explanation of the UFO phenomenon.”
—Nick Pope, UK Ministry of Defense

It was December 1980, and on a US military base in England, a security patrol observed a strange light descending into nearby Rendlesham Forest, and assumed one of their aircraft must have gone down.

Re-creation of the Craft that Landed in Rendlesham Forest

Sergeants John Burroughs and James Penniston were dispatched to investigate, and instead of a downed plane, they discovered a strange craft with glowing yellow and blue lights, approximately nine by six feet in size. Static electricity seemed to be emanating from it. The men stood and stared at the object for about 10 minutes, finally deciding that it did not appear to be a threat. They moved closer and observed strange hieroglyphic markings on the side of the craft.

Suddenly, an explosion of light from the ship knocked both men down; “I thought I was going to die that night,” Penniston said later. Penniston got up and touched the craft; it felt smooth and warm.

The men stayed near the UFO for 45 minutes until it began to rise through the trees, then shot into the night so quickly that Penniston later wrote in his log book, “Speed: Impossible!”

The next morning, investigators found deep, triangle-shaped impressions in the ground where the craft had been sighted. Tests showed high levels of radiation.

The ship returned for two consecutive nights; on the final night, it was witnessed by nearly 60 people.

2. THE KECKSBURG UFO CRASH

At first, they thought it was some kind of crazy meteor. The fireball that streaked across skies over Ontario, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania in 1965 dropped metal debris and caused sonic booms. Eyewitnesses in the small town of Kecksburg, Pennsylvania saw the UFO crash into a forest, followed by blue smoke that rose from amongst the trees. They called authorities.

Meanwhile, a few brave individuals ventured into the woods to see what had crash-landed. They found the object partially buried in the ground; it was bronze in color and metallic, about the size of a car, shaped like an acorn. The witnesses noticed strange markings on its surface that resembled Egyptian hieroglyphs. Jim Romanesky, one of the observers, said that the UFO was completely seamless, almost as if it had been made of liquid metal that was poured into a mold.

When the military arrived, they cordoned off the area, detaining and removing everyone from the forest. Witnesses saw them load the object onto a flatbed truck and remove it; when an official report was issued, it said that “absolutely nothing” had been found—case closed.

3. PHOENIX LIGHTS

Phones at the police station were ringing off the hook, UFO reporting agencies were inundated with calls, the news media were receiving a flurry of reports, people were standing in the streets and pointing at the sky: there were strange lights hovering over the city of Phoenix! Thousands of people saw the Phoenix Lights that March day in 1997, including police offers, military personnel, and Arizona governor Fife Symington; eye-witnesses said that the lights appeared to be part of a massive black V-shaped craft that moved slowly and silently as it passed over their rooftops.

The first reports of the UFO came from Henderson, Nevada, where witnesses said the craft was drifting along in a southeasterly direction; it passed over other towns until it appeared over Phoenix. Air traffic controllers at Phoenix’s Sky Harbor International Airport could see the lights through their window but registered no sign of anything on radar.

The local Air Force base denied that any activity had taken place that night—then later changed the story and said that the lights had been aircraft flares they’d dropped between 9:00 and 10:00 PM that night. Problem is, the UFO lights had appeared over Henderson, Nevada just before 8:00 PM and over Phoenix just after 8:30 PM.

4. UFO OVER O’HARE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

“I am still in absolute wonder and amazement at what I saw that afternoon.” 

—Eye-witness to the O’Hare UFO

It had been a normal afternoon at busy O’Hare International when airport employees began to notice something strange in the sky.

On November 7, 2006, a metallic, saucer-like craft appeared above the airport and hovered over Gate C-17. A ramp employee was the first to see it as he helped a jet, flight 446 bound for North Carolina, push back to prepare for takeoff. Chatter on two-way radios alerted a dozen other employees, ranging from pilots to supervisors, who all ran to see the disc hovering in the sky.

The UFO lingered over the airport for about two minutes, then, as witnesses described, shot straight up at an incredible velocity and vanished, leaving a clear, sky-blue hole in the clouds.

The Federal Aviation Administration first denied they had any evidence of the matter. When a local reporter discovered a recording of an FAA official discussing the sighting with a United Airlines employee, the FAA changed the story: it was just a weather phenomenon, and there was no need for further investigation.

UFO INVESTIGATION: US officials 'hold SECRET ALIEN TESTS' at ranch - 'DISTURBING'

THE US Department for Defence has carried out a series of undercover tests at the highly controversial UFO sighting ground, the Skinwalker ranch in Utah, leaked documents have claimed.

Huge ‘UFO’ spotted above hotel in lightning storm

A MASSIVE "spaceship" was spotted apparently hovering over a beach during a thunderstorm.

By Sam Webb 

An eagle-eyed truth seeker took these amazing pics in the resort town of Myrtle Beach in South Carolina.

They were amazed to see mysterious lights hovering above a hotel in a line as they took pictures from a pier on Friday night.

The photographer, who posted their findings to UFO Spotter, wrote: “Taking pictures and timelapse of the incoming storm.

“I was taking the pictures off the edge of a long pier after dark, so there were no reflective surfaces around."

Did astronaut reveal NASA's 'codeword for aliens' in live International Space Station feed?

Conspiracy theorists have suggested that a "nervous" astronaut was telling ground control about appearance of a strange red-coloured UFO

By Kelly-Ann Mills

This controversial footage is causing a stir among UFO fans and conspiracy theorists as records a bizarre conversation between a "nervous" astronaut and mission control.

The outer-space experts claim that during a live feed from the International Space Station the astronaut mentions the word "gospel" as a strange red-coloured UFO appears on the screen.

According to Mr Waring, the appearance of the UFO on the ISS live video feed as the astronaut mentions the gospel" was significant and could not be a coincidence."

Talking his viewers through the footage he drew the attention of viewers to the moment in the recording that the astronaut said the word “gospel,” and the moment that ground control replied to the astronaut, saying, “we will pray for you."

Secure Team 10's Tyler Glockne r also noted how odd it was for the astronaut to be talking about religion ans said the conversation was "very unusual".

He said: "You can hear the astronaut speaking about God as a UFO appears, which is strange.

“Although it is not strange to think there may be astronauts who may be religious, but I think it would be uncommon due to the training and scientific knowledge they have.”

But his fans asked whether the reference to "gospel" was actually code for "aliens".

Conspiracy theorists have suggested that the astronaut’s statement that he was looking “forward to this partnership with the gospel,” could be coded language and he was actually telling ground control he was about to meet a delegation of extraterrestrials and hold "talks" with them.

L'ASTRONOME CAPTURE UN OVNI AVEC TOUTE LA CLARTÉ QUI PASSE À GRANDE VITESSE DEVANT LA LUNE

Pendant longtemps, certains experts en OVNIS pensent qu'il existe une base extraterrestre de l'autre côté de la Lune. En supposant qu'ils viennent d'une planète lointaine au-delà de notre système solaire, ils devraient disposer d'une base à partir de laquelle ils pourraient se rendre sur Terre. Et quel meilleur endroit que la face cachée de la Lune ? Mais non seulement sur la base d’hypothèses, il existe également des preuves de la présence extraterrestre dans notre satellite naturel. Milton William Cooper, un ancien officier des services de renseignement de la marine américaine, a révélé dans un communiqué de presse en 1989, sous serment, que le gouvernement des États-Unis. J'étais conscient de l'existence de vaisseaux spatiaux extraterrestres sur notre planète.

Et cela allait plus loin, en veillant à ce que la face cachée de la Lune abrite une base extraterrestre. Il a été vu et enregistré par les astronautes Apollo. Selon Cooper, sur cette base, les opérations minières sont menées à l’aide d’énormes machines et d’un grand navire extraterrestre. Aussi connu sous le nom de Bill Cooper, il a écrit sur ses théories dans les livres "Le gouvernement secret: l'origine, l'identité et la raison d'être de MJ-12 (1989)", "Operation Majority (1989)" et "Voici un cheval pâle ( 1991) ". Cooper a été tué par des agents du bureau du shérif du comté d'Apache en 2001 lors d'une descente dans son domicile, en Arizona, pour fraude fiscale. Selon la version officielle, l'ancien officier du renseignement a ouvert le feu.

Y a-t-il une meilleure preuve ? Apparemment, c’est un objet en forme de soucoupe qui a été enregistré par mon astronome qui passe devant la Lune.

La meilleure observation d'OVNI à ce jour ?

Mon astronome amateur a découvert le 6 juillet 2017, un étrange objet qui a traversé la Lune. Je révèle que la vidéo a été enregistrée, et tentais alors d'approcher les cratères lunaires lorsque cette étrange observation a eu lieu.Dans la vidéo, on voit un géant objet se déplacer de bas à haut sur la surface lunaire Aristarchus Crater. Même si j’ai essayé de suivre l'objet volant non identifier, le faible éclairage de la Lune l'a fait perdre de vue. Et comment pourrait-il en être autrement, alors que la vidéo devenait virale, les théoriciens du complot disaient que c'était la meilleure preuve que les extraterrestres avaient une base secrète à la surface de la Lune. Ils ajoutent que les gouvernements du monde entier et les agences spatiales comme la NASA sont très conscients de l'existence d'aliens.
Voici quelques images incroyables d'un OVNI se déplaçant à la surface de la Lune. Les images ont été prises avec un télescope en cherchant des cratères. Ce navire noir coïncide avec les nombreux autres OVNIS qui ont été enregistrés en mouvement à la surface de Luna au cours des dernières années. Il y a encore des extraterrestres qui vivent sur notre Lune, même aujourd'hui, qui vont et viennent dans ces navires ... tout le temps en riant de la façon dont l’humanité croit encore qu’elle est seule dans l’univers. "
Mais d'autres théoriciens du complot ont une version très différente de l'ovni d'origine extraterrestre. Il serait clair que la US Space Force C'est opérationnel, et ils expliquent que l'augmentation du nombre d'observations d'OVNIS est une autre preuve de leurs activités dans l'espace.

Le vice-président américain Mike Pence, lors d'un discours prononcé au Pentagone en août dernier, a annoncé que le "Corps spatial" ferait partie du ministère de la Défense et s'appellerait la "United States Space Force", qui commenceront à fonctionner en 2020. Mais apparemment, ils avaient déjà commencé ces opérations, sans qu'aucun autre pays ne le sache.

Et les sceptiques qui pensent ? La vérité, c’est qu’ils ont été vraiment surpris par la vidéo, mais ils croient néanmoins qu’il peut s’agir d’un montage ou tout simplement de débris spatiaux. Comme d'habitude. Maintenant, nous avons seulement besoin de connaître votre version.

Est-ce la meilleure vidéo d'OVNI de l'histoire ? Une preuve évidente de l'existence de bases extraterrestres sur la Lune ? La force spatiale Trump ? Ou avez-vous une autre explication ?

You expect some UFO witnesses, especially those who also encounter extraterrestrials, to be somewhat eccentric. You don’t expect them to be terrorists. Yet that’s what an investigative team in Brazil found out recently while researching 50-year-old unpublished documents concerning terrorist acts discovered they were committed by a group under the direction of a UFO cult leader and used to justify repression by a military dictatorship.

“He was seen as a crazy guy, but he had a relationship with the authorities.”

Vasconcelo Quadros, the investigative journalist who broke the story this week in Publica, released the documents just days before a highly controversial presidential election expected to be won by Jair Bolsonaro, the controversial far-right presidential candidate referred to by many as Brazil’s Donald Trump. Bolsonaro has often praised the time of the dictatorship as being a good thing for Brazil. Well, it wasn’t so good for the victims of the terrorist attacks of Aladino Felix, the paramilitary group leader who claimed to have been contacted by aliens.

“In November 1952 I was touring with a friend in the State of Sao Paulo. On reaching the top of the Angatuba range coming up from Parana, we were confronted by five Flying Saucers hovering in the air. It was a rainy day and visibility was bad. I went back to the same spot later and spent three days and nights there in the hope of seeing a Flying Saucer again. On the last night, after a series of episodes which we will not go into here for fear of digression, a Flying Saucer landed and we were given the chance of going inside it and meeting its crew. We stayed on board for about an hour looking at the various pieces of equipment in the machine. The Captain was kind enough to explain how they all worked. At the end of our visit, this fascinating individual promised to come and see us as soon as he was able. And now, four or five months later, he had come as promised.”

Aladino Félix was the author of the book My Contact with Flying Saucers under the name Dino Kraspedon. Published in Brazil in 1957 and in the US and UK in 1959, it describes his various contacts with the Captain and other aliens who he claimed were from a satellite of Jupiter. In the book, Felix presents detailed drawings and descriptions of the flying saucers, including how they defeat gravity and navigate among the planets. He also relays warnings from the Captain about atomic energy and a second sun entering the solar system.

The Captain talks quite a bit about God, which may have itself been a warning about Felix’s other interests. He declared himself to be the messiah of the Jewish people and founded a UFO cult based on that belief. However, the current investigation found this was or became a front for a right-wing paramilitary organization of police officers which carried out a series of terrorist attacks – bombings, bank robberies, and more – that egged on left-wing groups to do the same, allowing the government to use it as a way to justify repression by force in an era that became known as the Anos de Chumbo, or Years of Lead.

“The Earth is not the center of the planetary system, as was previously believed, but the center of evil. If man were to reform himself, it is possible that the Creator would have compassion on him. Avoid war, because man can thereby destroy his planet with his own hands without the intervention of the forces of Nature. It is not difficult to be good; it is sufficient to do no evil. God will do the rest.”

Do no evil.

Despite that advice from The Captain in My Contact with Flying Saucers, Aladino Félix seemed to have chosen the opposite path. Perhaps that’s why he wrote the book under another name. He was arrested in 1968, spent three years in prison and died in 1985.

Did he ever talk to the Captain again? Did he ever talk to the Captain at all?

Officially, the U.S. Government got out of the UFO issue in 1969 when the Air Force’s Project Blue Book closed its doors. Of course, that doesn’t mean that agencies have not taken an interest in UFOs post-1969. They certainly have. A perfect example is the so-called “Flying Triangle” phenomenon. It took off in the early-to-mid 1980s and reached its peak in the following decade. Although, a careful study of the history of Ufology demonstrates that the large, black, triangular-shaped UFOs have, in fact, been reported since the 1940s – although, admittedly, not on the scale they were reported in the eighties and the nineties.

One of the more interesting documents that demonstrates post-1969 interest in the UFO puzzle focuses on those strange Flying Triangles – specifically over Belgium in the 1989-1990time-frame. It originates with the U.S. Department of Defense and is titled “Belgium and the UFO Issue.” Circulated widely among the U.S. Intelligence community, it reveals the following: “Numerous UFO sightings have been made in Belgium since Nov 89. The credibility of some individuals making the reports is good…Investigation by BAF [Belgian Air Force] continues.”

Then, the document digs into the matter of witness reports. We’re told that…

• “Source A cites Mr. Leon Brenig,a 43-year-old professor at the Free University of Brussels in the field of statistics and physics…Mr. Brenig was driving on the Ardennes autoroute in the Beaufays region east of Liege, Sunday, 18 March 1990 at 2030 hours when he observed an airborne object approaching in his direction from the North. It was in the form of a triangle…and had a yellow light surrounding it with a reddish center varying in intensity. Altitude appeared to be 500-1000 meters, moving at a slow speed with no sound. It did not move or behave like an aircraft.”
• “Source B,” the document reveals, “…discusses a Belgian television interview with Colonel Wil De Brouwer, Chief of Operations for the BAF…De Brouwer noted the large number of reported sightings, particularly in NOV 89 in the Liege area and that the BAF and MOD [Ministry of Defense] are taking the issue seriously. BAF experts have not been able to explain the phenomena either.”

Moving on, we have the following: “De Brouwer specifically addressed the possibility of the objects being USAF B-2 or F-117 Stealth aircraft which would not appear on Belgian radar, but might be sighted visually if they were operating at low altitude in the Ardennes area. He made it quite clear that no USAF overflight requests had ever been received for this type of mission and that the alleged observations did not correspond in any way to the observable characteristics of either U.S. aircraft.”

We’re then provided with the story of a very credible source: “[Deleted] related a similar UFO sighting which apparently happened to a Belgian Air Force officer in the same area near Liege during November 89. The officer and his wife were allegedly blinded by a huge bright object as they were driving on the autoroute. They stopped their car, but were so frightened they abandoned the vehicle and ran into the woods…The BAF is concerned to a point about the UFO issue and is taking action to investigate information they have…The USAF did confirm to the BAF and Belgian MOD that no USAF Stealth aircraft were operating in the Ardennes area during the periods in question.”

Nick Pope

There ends the document. But, not the interest in the Flying Triangles over Belgium. Following a wave of similar FT encounters in the U.K. in March 1993, Nick Pope – who, between 1991 and 1994, handled UFO reports for the British Ministry of Defense – approached the Belgian military to get its views on the Flying Triangle phenomenon (there is, however, a down to earth explanation for the UK sightings). In a January 1997 interview, Pope told me:

“I approached the Belgians to get a comparison after their sightings. I phoned the Air Attaché at the British Embassy in Brussels and he spoke to one of the F-16 pilots who had been scrambled to intercept a Flying Triangle over Belgium back in 1990. Well, the Air Attaché reported back to me that the corporate view of the Belgian Defense Staff was that they did believe that they were dealing with a solid, structured craft. Apparently, the word from the Belgians was: ‘Thank God it was friendly.’ If it hadn’t been, it was made clear to me that there was very little that the Belgian Air Force could have done anyway – despite the fact that the F-16 is no slouch.”

Pope also approached the U.S. Department of Defense to discuss the Flying Triangle phenomenon. Pope outlined the nature of the discussion: “We decided that we couldn’t ignore the various rumors that were doing the rounds about a supposed Top Secret aircraft developed by the U.S. Government and called Aurora – or, indeed, any hypersonic and/or prototype aircraft operated by the Americans. There had been persistent rumors in the aviation world and among the UFO lobby that the SR71 Blackbird had been replaced by a hypersonic aircraft code-named Aurora and that that was what the Flying Triangles really were.”

Pope continued: “I was well aware that there had been some interesting stories about visual and radar sightings around certain air bases; however, I hadn’t put much store in these rumors – not least because there had been some very definitive denials from the Americans. I know there’s a lot of cynicism about government and the military. And although officialdom may refuse to answer a question and may sometimes give a misleading answer, outright lying is incredibly rare. And when it does occur, if it’s uncovered it almost certainly leads to resignation.

“But with the March 1993 sightings – and in spite of the denials from the Americans that they were responsible for the Flying Triangles – we did contact them to make inquiries. This was because they have the responsibility pertaining to the U.S. presence in Britain. Those inquiries bore absolutely no fruit at all. The Americans said: ‘No. We can shed no light at all on the UFO sightings that have led to your inquiry.'”

Pope told me that the liaison with the Americans was not without its moment of intrigue: “If anything, there was an interesting little hint that the Americans, too, were seeing these Flying Triangles over their territory. As we were making our inquiries, they turned the question around and wanted to know if our Royal Air Force had a triangular-shaped, hyper-sonic prototype aircraft of some sort. So, presumably, the Americans were having Flying Triangle sightings, too.”

Pope’s final words on the matter are well worth keeping in mind: “But this was interesting, in light of the fact that the Americans supposedly got out of UFO investigations back in 1969 when the Air Force’s Project Blue Book closed down. Of course, you may not officially be in the UFO game, but you are certainly going to be aware of – and take an interest in – reports of structured craft in your airspace.”

It was thirty years ago this month that a wave of UFO activity broke out in the skies of the United Kingdom. As October 1988 drew to a close, a puzzling encounter was reported by Tony Silvestri, a mechanic from Ciliau Aeron, Wales. In an interview with a journalist from the Western Mail newspaper, Mr. Silvestri recalled the encounter, which occurred while driving with his wife and daughter. He said: “Gwendoline, my wife, and Allana, who is eight, were both scared stiff by it. The whole interior of the car was lit up by a greenish light. It was so bright that I could not see through the windscreen or out of the windows.”

Tony Silvestri continued: “Fortunately, it only lasted for a few seconds. It couldn’t have been caused by the headlights of other cars because it was too bright and the wrong color. I pulled up and stopped at the side of the road but could see nothing that might have caused the strange light inside the car. Next day I gave the car a complete electrical check and there was nothing wrong with it. I didn’t think there would be because the light was too brilliant to be caused by an electrical fault.”

Sea Hawks at RNAS Brawdy

On October 27, Mr. Silvestri was interviewed by Flight Sergeant Dave Pengilly, of Royal Air Force Brawdy, Pembrokeshire. “Each report  of this kind is always investigated,” explained Sergeant Pengilly. “I make checks and then pass it on to the powers that be in the Ministry of Defense, who are now looking into this case. We don’t like unidentified things in our airspace.”

“Until now,” said Mrs. Silverstri, “we’ve had no time for UFO stories. We didn’t really believe in them. But, nothing like this has ever happened to us before and we hope it won’t again. We were terrified.”

The latter part of October 1988 also saw a significant amount of UFO activity in the counties of both Kent and Sussex, England. One incident in particular stands out. It was reported by Police Constables Norman Sells and Robin Buxton. They were driving through High Halden at around 3:45 a.m. on an autumn morning when “the whole of the night sky became as bright as daylight.” The curious light display lasted for three or four seconds before normality was restored. The officers quickly filed a report with police headquarters at Maidstone. Notably, other unusual events were reported by people in the same area for several days.

Teenagers Joanna Dickinson and Julie Jessop were walking near to Julie’s home at Woodlands Caravan Park, Biddenden, when they saw an oval-shaped object displaying four bright white lights, with a red light in the center. Both girls estimated that the object was at a height of around 500 feet; it emitted a deep humming sound. As they watched, the object suddenly climbed vertically into the evening sky.

Shortly after the sighting at Biddenden, Stephen Button, the brother of a Tenterden policeman, reported seeing a strange object while driving his car in the area. When Mr. Button first caught sight of the object, which was likened to “a blue ball,” it was at a height of between fifty and 100 feet, but began to descend as Mr. Button looked on. He finally lost sight of the object as it disappeared behind a line of trees. Staff at Royal Air Force Manston were duly informed and details were passed on to the U.K.’s Ministry of Defense for analysis.

Never a dull moment at Cannock Chase

Then, on October 29, a huge, “Flying Triangle”-type UFO was seen flying – and very briefly hovering – over the Cannock Chase woods, Staffordshire, England. In this case, the witness was a police-officer heading home after finishing up his late-night/early hours shift. He described the craft as being “massively big,” black in color, and giving off a loud hum. The officer watched, stunned, for a few moments as the object flew across the tree-shrouded road at a speed of barely 20 miles per hour. Then, suddenly, the triangular craft shot into the star-filled skies above. The stunned officer chose not to share the story with his colleagues at work, but did give the details to a local UFO group.

The strange UFO wave of October 1988 was over.

Back in the late 1990s, I used to speak regularly at the monthly meetings of the now-defunct Staffordshire UFO Group. Another regular speaker was the late Omar Fowler, who died in 2017. On several occasions, Omar shared with me a number of accounts concerning the “Flying Triangle”-type of UFO. And, given the fact that some of those cases were particularly intriguing, I thought I would share with you two cases from Omar that I still have on file and that make for thought-provoking reading. In July 1997, as Omar told me, the Staffordshire, England town of Rugeley was targeted by a Flying Triangle and nothing less than a black helicopter – at the same time and location, no less.

In his letter to me (yes, when letters were just about still written! LOL), Omar stated that on the night in question, the attention of the witness “…was attracted by a noise similar to a high-revving two-stroke engine outside his home. He went outside in the darkness and saw hovering lights approximately one hundred and fifty yards away and one hundred and fifty feet up from the ground. He went indoors and fetched his binoculars and was able to make out the shape of a black helicopter in the vicinity of the lights.

“He had a night vision scope indoors and he returned with this a few minutes later. He then viewed the aircraft again. He saw the helicopter clearly, as it was illuminated by the flashing strobe and navigation lights. He described it as being similar to the Airwolf from the TV series. He then switched on the infrared beam and immediately noticed that there was a completely blacked out, triangular craft adjacent to the helicopter. ‘I couldn’t believe my eyes!’ he commented. The triangle, which was a similar size to the helicopter, reflected light from the strobe/navigation lights and appeared to have no visible means of support in the hovering mode (no noise was heard). He began to approach the two hovering craft, while looking through his night scope.

“It is a foregone conclusion that the helicopter was equipped with night vision equipment, because as [he] approached, the helicopter suddenly moved away at an incredible rate of knots. It disappeared like a rocket. The triangle remained for a moment and then moved away and out of sight.”

In this particular instance, the presence of an apparent military helicopter in close proximity to the UFO suggests the strong possibility that the Flying Triangle was some form of wholly terrestrial aircraft undergoing secret trials. Therefore, can we dismiss the sightings of the similar (albeit much bigger) craft that have been reported for decades (a wave in Belgium in the late 1980s/early 1990s being a perfect example)? I would be willing to accept that possibility except for the one glaring factor that keeps cropping up time and again. The Flying Triangles have been seen for decades prowling around the countryside in the dead of night. They are nothing new. If the bulk of these vehicles are ours, why are we not utilizing such technology on the battlefield? Why keep them hidden?

As further evidence of the fact that the Flying Triangles are not a relatively recent phenomenon, Omar Fowler shared another account with me and which is worth noting. As Fowler explained, it was at approximately 11:00 a.m. on 19 April 1956 and Robin Gibbard of Derby, England – a roofer at the time – was working with a colleague at a house in Allstree, Derby. According to Gibbard, “The day was very clear, with very little cloud about. On hearing an aircraft approaching, I looked up to see a twin radial engine, propeller driven Avro Anson – which even then was becoming a rarity. The aircraft was approaching at a height of about 2,000 feet altitude or less. These aircraft were very slow fliers and used mainly for reconnaissance. I was amazed to see a delta wing plane circling fairly close to the Avro Anson, actually circling around the plane at least twice, at a speed not much more than the plane’s speed but making no audible sound – the only sound came from the Anson.

“After making two circuits, it broke away and then increasing its speed to a phenomenal amount, disappeared upwards on a long curve in about 5 to 10 seconds. My partner also saw this occurrence, but unfortunately he has since died and cannot corroborate this statement. It could not have been a glider, because of its breakaway speed and any possible Delta aircraft of that period always made plenty of noise.”

To illustrate that he was unlikely to have misidentified the object, Robin Gibbard was keen to inform Omar Fowler of one important point: “At the time I was deeply involved in competition model [aircraft] flying in my spare time and was very aware of all aspects of the capabilities of model, diesel and petrol engines in every application and always had an interest in aircraft recognition during World War Two and afterwards. So I was familiar with all aircraft from that period.”

Omar Fowler produced a computer simulation of the object that Robin Gibbard viewed and it fit perfectly the description of the many Flying Triangles that are being reported in ever-increasing numbers today. Of course, if Robin Gibbard caught sight of the unidentified intruder, then it is entirely possible that the crew of the Avro Anson did likewise. If so, there is every possibility that the British Government has had an awareness of the Flying Triangle mystery for decades. Whatever the true nature and origin of the FTs, there’s no doubt that the phenomenon is real.

In 1955, one of the most controversial of all the many and varied UFO books published in the fifties was released. Its title was The Case for the UFO. The author was Morris Ketchum Jessup. His book, in part, was a detailed study of the theoretical power-sources for UFOs: what was it that made them fly? How could they perform incredible, aerial feats, such as coming to a complete stop in the skies, hovering at incredible heights? Jessup believed that the answers lay in the domain of gravity. Or, as he saw it: anti-gravity. Jessup may well have been onto something, as it wasn’t long at all before the world of officialdom was taking an interest in him – specifically the U.S. Navy. And it was one particularly intriguing office of the Navy that was watching Jessup – a “special weapons” division. Clearly, someone in the U.S. Navy was intrigued by Jessup’s findings and theories.

In the mid-fifties, Morris Jessup became deeply worried – paranoid, even – that he was being spied on. On several occasions, he noticed that certain items in his office had clearly been moved – strongly suggesting that when he was out of his home someone was having a stealthy look around. The ante was upped when Jessup had a face to face interview with Navy representatives who wanted to speak with him about his book and the theories and the technology referred to in its pages. That wasn’t all they wanted to discuss They also wanted to know what Jessup knew about the so-called Philadelphia Experiment of 1943, in which, allegedly, a Navy ship – the USS Eldridge – was rendered invisible, something that is said to have led to the deaths of some of the crew. I should stress, though, that Jessup’s original source for the story was a man named Carlos Allende. He was a notorious hoaxer in the controversy-filled saga of the vanishing ship, which was not a good sign.

USS Eldridge

Of course, given the fact that Jessup was already in a deep state of fear and paranoia, the meeting with the Navy only increased his anxieties. He saw Men in Black lurking outside of his home. Hang-up calls in the middle of the night became regular occurrences. Mail arrived tampered, opened and resealed. Clearly, someone was trying to derail Jessup and his research.

In the early evening of April 20, 1959, the lifeless body of Morris Jessup was found in his car, which was parked in the Matheson Hammock Park in Miami, Florida. The car’s engine was still running and a hosepipe, affixed to the exhaust, had been fed through the driver’s side window. Jessup was dead from the effects of carbon-monoxide. Jessup’s body was found by a man named John Goode, who worked at the park. He quickly called the police, who arrived in no time at all. While it looked like Jessup had killed himself, not everyone was quite so sure that things were so black and white. The window through which the hose was stuffed with a couple of towels, to prevent air from getting in and carbon-monoxide from getting out. Curiously, Mrs. Jessup — Rubeye – confirmed the towels were not theirs. Why, if Jessup took his own life, did he not take towels from the family home? What would have been the point of buying new towels? And, if he did buy such towels, where was the receipt? It certainly wasn’t in the car, or in any of Jessup’s pockets.

Of course, no one can say what goes through someone’s mind when they decide to end their life, but if nothing else the matter of the towels was perceived as somewhat of a red flag. It should be noted, though, that Jessup’s life was not exactly stable in this period. And that’s putting it mildly. His marriage was in a fraught state, a car accident had limited his activities, and he was having trouble getting published. In other words, we most definitely need to look at both sides of the coin – and carefully and closely, too.

Moving on, there is the fact that on the very night before his death, Jessup spent more than an hour chatting on the phone with one Manson Valentine, expressing his enthusiasm for his latest work and plans for further investigations into the Philadelphia Experiment. Jessup even told Valentine that they should have lunch together the next day. Valentine never saw Jessup again.

Navy pilot recalls 'out of this world' encounter

Cmdr. David Fravor says in 2004 he had an unforgettable encounter with a strange aircraft he believes was defying the laws of physics - maybe a UFO. #Tucker

An American pilot who claims to have chased an alien aircraft has warned world leaders to take UFO sightings seriously.

Retired US Navy pilot commander David Fravor spoke out in support of ex US government intelligence officer Luis Elizondo, who last week revealed he ran a real life "X Files" UFO research department at the Pentagon named the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program (AATIP) funded by £16 million ($22m) “black ops money” from Congress.

Elizondo secured the release of previously classified US Defense Department videos of UFO encounters - one of which shows the craft Fravor saw darting off at an incredible speed.

Commander Fravor, 53, was flying one of two fighter jets on a routine training mission about 100 miles into the Pacific ocean off San Diego when they were diverted to check out an aircraft spotted on radar from their navy cruiser the USS Princeton.

The operations operator said they had been tracking up to a dozen mystery aircraft over two weeks but hadn't had manned planes deployed when they showed up.

The object first appeared at 80,000 ft, then hurtled towards the sea, stopping at 20,000 feet and hovering before dropping out of radar.

When Commander Fravor arrived he saw a white aircraft hovering 50 feet above above a disturbance in the ocean.

He said: “It was just moving randomly around - this 40 foot long white tic tac looking thing, with no wings.

“It was a clear day with a blue background and it was perfectly white. We didn't see any windows, no form of propulsion, nothing, just a big white object.

"It was rounded on both ends and had a cylindrical body which rounded in, same front to back.

“I couldn't tell what it was made of, it was bright white but it wasn't reflecting a bunch of light."

Fravor flew towards it and the aircraft began ascending towards him, passing him at about 12,000 ft. He thinks he got within half a mile of it.

He said: “I literally chased the thing and it started to mirror us, it was like it became aware we were there. I cut across to see if I could get closer and it rapidly accelerated and disappeared. Within a matter of a second it was gone.”

Asked what was going through his mind, he said: "I was thinking 'That's pretty strange'. In 16 years of flying I had never seen anything like that. Nothing that can hover and climb at that rate up and then accelerate and just disappear.

“I was more curious then afraid. I wanted to see how close I could get to it, to see what it was.”

The two fighter jets were told to head to a rendezvous point 60 miles away.

However the radio operator on the Princeton then radioed and said the mystery aircraft had turned up before them.

At this point another aircraft was sent to investigate and recorded radar footage of the aircraft. The 90 second video shows the oblong shaped object hovering before it darts off to the left at what appears to be an unprecedented velocity.

Fravor said: “It jammed the radar, you couldn't lock it with a conventional radar, you could passively track it and see it, but if you tried to grab a lock it wouldn't allow you to do that.

“When it takes off and goes to the side that's a significant amount of distance to travel in a very short period of time, we're talking miles, that thing just goes poof and in about a second it's off the side of the screen.

"You look at the video of it there's no exhaust flume, there's no indication of how that thing is moving around. Having seen a lot of different airplanes, you can always at least hot spots where the exhaust is coming out. I was close enough visually to go 'we don't have anything like that'."

He insisted the object was alien in origin.

He said: “I know what I saw, it was impressive, it had incredible performance, obviously I wasn’t in a hostile act with it, you’d have your hands full if you were.

"I honestly don’t think humans have that technology to do what that thing did. Nor could the human body withstand accelerations like that. It’s an incredible technology to be able to go up to space, and back down and hang over the water.

"I know what I saw and the other three people that were there saw at the same time. I think you would be hard pressed to question my credibility flying experience wise. I’m totally sane, in good health, I don’t do drugs.

"We physically saw and chased it and are the only ones that have actually got close to one of these things.”

Fravor is now calling on British space expert Stephen Hawking to view the video and give his take on it.

He said: “They should be talking to Stephen Hawking. He’s a brilliant man, I would like to hear his thoughts on it. They said they’re talking to some other theoretical physicists like him about the possibilities.”

And in a stern warning to governments around the world he added: “We all need to take these seriously as a species, because right now we don't know the intent of these things, if they're like ET it's great, if they're like War of the Worlds not so much.

“You can ignore them and hope they're just going to observe, or you can do something about it and try to understand what they’re doing and develop technology, in case they do have a bad intention.”

In another video released by the US government into the existence of extraterrestrial life a pilot can be heard muttering: "This is a f****** drone, bro," the New York Post reported.

The footage shows another pilot saying: “There’s a whole fleet of them,” before exclaiming, “It’s rotating!”.

The footage captures a glowing whitish oval and a darker orb as the jets, dispatched from the aircraft carrier Nimitz, chase the craft.

The footage was released by the Defense Department’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, which spent $22 million between 2008 and 2012 to investigate reports from military and commercial pilots of unidentified flying objects.
