 2003 - “United Kingdom. Air Show. GOODWOOD FESTIVAL. Santiago Yturria writes, "On September 5, 2003, at the Revival air show, two aircraft were flying in formation above the crowd when a disc entered the formation at 1:35 PM. Aviation expert Don Berliner informs me that he identified the aircraft as a US Navy F4U Corsair, and a P-40 Tomahawk fighter in Chinese Flying Tiger markings. The disc is about one third the size of the P-40, that has a wingspan of 37.3 feet or about 12 to 13 feet. Simon, a 29-year-old from West Sussex was filming the event with a JVC Hi-8 PAL camcorder and his images are excellent.”

  MAY 8, 2011 ….. BAYFIELD COLORADO   “We were camping at the Pine Creek Campsite near Bayfield, CO, where two of our party had previously witnessed UFOs/strange lights in the sky. The craft appeared in the gap between two peaks, which is slightly west of true north. Initially, it looked like a single, white light, an excessively bright light, in fact. It’s hard to explain, but it was really, really bright – WAY brighter than any other plane or star. However, as it drew closer the white light seemed to separate into three smaller white lights in a perfect line with a red light hovering above it. Presumably, this was the top of the craft as it seemed to be descending. The truly interesting thing about this craft was that it was incredibly low, perhaps even 500 feet or less above our heads. It flew directly overhead and seemed to bank slightly before disappearing into the south – perhaps over Vallecito Reservoir. As it passed overhead and banked it became clear that this was a diamo

I am so fascinated of the moon. If the sky is cloudy because of the bad weather all the time I have enough time to look through my moon photos. Here a photo of the waxing gibbous moon (around 75%). Settings: I used the so called "HDR style": The bright moon was taken as video, the full moon was captured as a video for the dark site of the moon (Hello Pink Floyd) and the stars were taken seperately. In the end I merged all together in one single photo. Bright waxing gibbous moon: 2:20 min video: Sony α7 III + Sony FE 600mm f/4 GM (2x Converter = 1200mm), 1/100s @ f/11.0, ISO 200 Dark Moon: 2:10 min video: Sony α7 III + Sony FE 600mm f/4 GM (2x Converter = 1200mm), 1/80s @ f/11.0, ISO 800 Stars: Sony α7 III + Sony FE 600mm f/4 GM (2x Converter = 1200mm), 20s @ f/8.0, ISO 1600 Star Tracker: Fornax Lightrack 2 Processed in PIPP, Autostakkert, Astra Image and PS (Photoshop) By Stefan Liebermann

Collimated jets provide astronomers with some of the most powerful evidence that a supermassive black hole lurks in the heart of most galaxies. Some of these black holes appear to be active, gobbling up material from their surroundings and launching jets at ultra-high speeds, while others are quiescent, even dormant. Why are some black holes feasting and others starving?  Recent observations from the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, or SOFIA, are shedding light on this question. SOFIA data indicate that magnetic fields are trapping and confining dust near the center of the active galaxy, Cygnus A, and feeding material onto the supermassive black hole at its center. The unified model, which attempts to explain the different properties ­of active galaxies, states that the core is surrounded by a donut-shaped dust cloud, called a torus. How this obscuring structure is created and sustained has never been clear, but these new results from SOFIA indicate that magnetic field

They were cigar-shaped, glowed red and could turn on a dime. Which ruled out even the most sophisticated rockets of the time. By Adam Janos “It was nearly the end of World War II. But for the airmen of the 415th Night Fighter Squadron, it felt more like the beginning of War of the Worlds. Lt. Fred Ringwald was the first to see it. He was riding as observer in a night fighter piloted by Lt. Ed Schlueter, with Lt. Donald J. Meiers on radar. It was a late November evening in 1944, partly cloudy with a quarter moon. They were roaming the Rhine Valley just north of Strasbourg on the French-German border when Ringwald said, “I wonder what those lights are, over there in the hills,” according to an American Legion Magazine story on the sightings from 1945.” Credit: www.history.com

 “On July 8, the pilot and passengers of a Cessna 172 Skyhawk were approached by a UFO over Warren, Ohio about 10:20 p.m. Two brothers, Richard and Ken Montgomery, with Elizabeth Soverns and Rosalind Rians as passengers, were flying at about 4,000 feet over Warren; Richard Montgomery was at the controls. "I noticed an object coming toward us from the direction of Youngstown to the southeast," he related. "I swung over... to get a closer look when the object headed directly toward our airplane. It stopped and hung motionless in the air... momentarily, and as our aircraft came closer, it moved swiftly upward and came back at us from another angle." Montgomery said the UFO appeared metallic and had a light beaming from its underside. He estimated it was from six to ten feet in diameter and from 16 to 20 feet tall. The pilot maneuvered the plane several times, but the object kept following at a distance of from 150 to 200 yards. Then the UFO "suddenly sped in an ea

JANUARY 5, 2000 ………….. SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE ILLINOIS Date of sighting: January 5, 2000 Location of sighting: Illinois, USA   Source: David B. Marler, Illinois State Director, MUFON Journal No. 383 (March 2000)   “Illinois police officers track UFO near Scott AFB”   “During my ten years of investigating UFOs, I have never had a case like the one that occurred in the early morning hours of Jan. 5, 2000. The UFO incident involved multiple witnesses, which mainly consisted of police officers from a number of small Illinois towns.   The officers were able to track the unknown object and maintain radio contact with each other during the event. Adding to this, Scott Air Force Base was only two miles away from the flight path of the UFO. This episode became the focus of intense media coverage, which continued weeks after the actual event.   The first person to notice anything unusual that early morning was Melvern Noll. Noll is the owner of a miniature golf course located in Highland, IL, wh

THE MCROBERTS VANCOUVER ISLAND UFO PHOTOGRAPH, OCTOBER 1981 “Perhaps one of the most fascinating, not least due to the photographic evidence, is the Vancouver Island picture (which is one of the locations in our previously mentioned 1954 IFF code incident). On this particular evening, at a little after 6 pm in early October 1981, Hannah McRoberts was on vacation on Vancouver Island. During this time, she would take multiple pictures of the mountain ranges and woodlands. According to McRoberts, one specific picture she took she noticed a strange cloud around the top of the mountain similar to a “volcano issuing steam”. The rest of the group she was with didn’t see anything unusual and so she simply forgot the incident. That was until she had the photographs developed several weeks later. When she focused in on the strange cloud her attention immediately went to the right of it. There, was an apparent solid, circular object. You can view that picture below. The picture soon came to the a

A new study modeled whether we could find intelligent life on another planet—by looking for its pollution. “Last March, when Ravi Kopparapu was still working from his desk at the Goddard Space Center in Maryland, he came across a press release from NASA’s Earth Observatory. Levels of Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) had plummeted over China since the country of 1.4 billion instituted strict stay-at-home orders more than a month earlier. He texted his colleague Jacob Haqq Misra with the link: “Technosignature?” he wrote. “Oh interesting!” Haqq Misra replied. The observations had piqued Kopparapu’s interest, and two months later, still thinking about the ways that modern societies pollute their planet’s air, he read a paper on the effect of pandemic-related public health measures on atmospheric pollution. Researchers found the same effect playing out in other highly industrialized nations, like South Korea and the United States. The level of NO₂ over urban centers decreased by between 20 and 40 pe

  Hypothetical Planet X Artist's concept of a hypothetical planet orbiting far from the Sun. Credit: Caltech/R. Hurt (IPAC) Overview Caltech researchers have found mathematical evidence suggesting there may be a "Planet X" deep in the solar system. This hypothetical Neptune-sized planet orbits our Sun in a highly elongated orbit far beyond Pluto. The object, which the researchers have nicknamed "Planet Nine," could have a mass about 10 times that of Earth and orbit about 20 times farther from the Sun on average than Neptune. It may take between 10,000 and 20,000 Earth years to make one full orbit around the Sun. The announcement does not mean there is a new planet in our solar system. The existence of this distant world is only theoretical at this point and no direct observation of the object nicknamed "Planet 9" have been made. The mathematical prediction of a planet could explain the unique orbits of some smaller objects in the Kuiper Belt, a distant

The Many Sightings Of The 1995 Galicia UFO Wave – UFO Insight “On the evening of 28th November 1995, security cameras operating at the As Gandaras military base in the Galicia region of Spain filmed several strange objects in the night sky. The Spanish military would take the sightings extremely seriously. According to anonymous sources, there was a genuine fear among high ranking officers of a mapping of their facilities! It would have been preferable for the military to keep the sighting in house and away from public scrutiny. Unfortunately for them, a group of young men playing soccer in a nearby field also saw the strange objects. What’s more, they would waste little time in telling of their account to the Spanish, and in turn, the world’s media. By the time the media had picked the bones of the details, it would come to light that the sightings began several days earlier on the 23rd November. And far from being limited to those inside the military installation, they were witnessed

Previously known as" 1998 SF36 " is a sub-kilometer near-Earth object of the Apollo group & a potentially hazardous asteroid.   & it's the asteroid that we have only recently recived over 900 Itokawa particles from, they have been separated & are curated in an ISO-6 cleanroom at the Planetary Material Sample Curation Facility of JAXA; based on mineralogy, chemistry & oxygen isotope compositions, the particles are linked directly to LL ordinary chondrites. Organic analyses have been carried out on fewer than ten of the Itokawa particles, & all were found to contain organic matter which includes a group of particles (category 3 particles) composed predominantly of carbon despite organic carbon not generally being abundant in ordinary chondrites. However, the origin of the observed organic matter has yet to be established with certainty, as its isotopic composition "(δD = − 3 to + 135‰; δ13C = − 27 to + 3‰; δ15N = − 4 to + 18‰" falls within

In October of 1973, a 21-year old truck driver was traveling from California to Missouri with his girlfriend through south-central Utah when at 3 am they witnessed a completely unexpected sight. Together, they saw a domed disc with a red glow in a valley below them. The experience made a lasting impression on the young man who has since become a life-long UFO enthusiast. Having recently learned of MUFON as a way to report his unique sighting, the witness, after 37 years, made his report on the MUFON website—Case Number 21866. The then 21-year old Kenneth Dudely and his girlfriend were traveling east bound on a newly completed section of interstate 70 through the San Rafael Swell in south-central Utah in a red Chevy Vega. The San Rafael Swell is a large geologic feature that lies entirely in Emery County, Utah about 30 miles west of the small town of Green River which is located about 60 miles from the border of Colorado. The Swell is approximately 75 miles by 40 miles and has a north-
