LARGE BLIMP LIKE UFO SPOTTED IN TEXAS

Image
OCTOBER 22, 2015 ……… PEARLAND TEXAS “Hi, my name is Michael. I live in Pearland Texas, just on the outskirts of Houston. I had a strange sighting this past October 22nd. I’ve been looking for an explanation online somewhere but haven’t found anything close to what I saw, maybe you or one of your readers could shed some light on it. About 8:30 am I was on my way home from dropping a friend off at work, I was turning from Interstate 45 onto Dixie Farm Rd, when I saw what initially looked like a plane, but I just can’t say that’s what it actually was, due to its strange appearance. It looked like a plane, only it was sort of fat in appearance, its wings were average size, but it had no windows, and I saw no engines. It was dull gray with a single blue stripe along the length of its body. I figured it had to be a blimp, only there were no tether wires or strings holding it in place. It was perfectly still and unwavering despite it being a very windy overcast day. It was very low to

The Togo Beach UFO Incident – Paralysis, Blinding Lights, And Further Suggestions Of Underwater Bases

Image
  By Marcus Lowth  “A strange UFO encounter on the coast of Togo in March 1974 is another incident that suggests UFOs have more of a connection to the waters of our planet than many might think. Furthermore, it is an event that features the bizarre paralysis of the witnesses – something that can be found in many other close encounter accounts. It would also appear that the witness, in this case, was largely very credible, especially given his wish for anonymity as opposed to relishing the limelight he would have found himself if he had made his identity public. There were also several similar encounters around the same time, some of which reached as far as Europe, perhaps suggesting some kind of alien reconnaissance mission on the part of these apparent extraterrestrial visitors. The incident first appeared to the public in the March 1976 edition of Phenomenes Spatiaux as reported by Joel Mesnard following his interview with the witness. It is on his research that we base the following

SCIENTISTS SEE LIGHT FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF A BLACK HOLE FOR THE FIRST EVER TIME

Image
  By Andrew Griffin “Scientists have picked up light from the other side of a black hole for the first ever time. Such an observation might seem not just difficult but outright impossible, given black holes famously eat up any light that goes near them. But the new study used an unusual effect where light “echoes” around the black hole, such that scientists can see it from the other side. The detection came after scientists examined X-rays that were being thrown out into the universe by a supermassive black hole that sits in the middle of another galaxy, 800 million light years away.” Credits: www.independent.co.uk

V SHAPED CRAFT ENCOUNTER, TWICE, IN FLORIDA

Image
JULY 2018 ……………………SEBRING FLORIDA “I am 31 years old. I live in Sebring. I believe I have seen the same UFO twice in my life, it’s hard to say if it was the exact same one. Once, I saw it in the evening, flying towards the west as the sun was coming down, it was a V shaped craft, silver/gray, no distinct features, just a simple aircraft in the shape of a V, the point of the V seemed to be the front of the craft. Once again, I believe I saw the same UFO, this time, ten years later, but at night, flying extremely low, a V shaped craft flew over my apartment complex, while me and some neighbors were sitting outside, I saw one light coming up over the woods, it looked like an orange streetlight but it was moving towards us, just above the tree line, as I was watching it, wondering what I was seeing, two more lights appeared behind it, then two more, and two more, until we were looking at a V shaped craft with lights underneath. As soon as me and another neighbor jumped up to get a better v

Magnetars - The Strongest Stellar Magnets

Image
 A Magnetar is a type of Neutron Star that has a very high magnetic field. Like other neutron stars, magnetars are around 20 kilometres (12 miles) in diameter and have a mass about 1.4 solar masses. They are formed by the collapse of a Massive Star in an explosion called Supernova.  A Magnetar's Magnetic Field is about 1000 Trillion Times stronger than Earth's Magnetic Field. Starquake is similar to an earthquake, but it occurs on the crust of a Magnetar. As this happens, the magnetar releases a Blast of Radiation. Scientists have only detected 3 Starquakes (each in 1979, 1998, 2004).  The theory regarding these Cosmic Magnets was proposed by Robert Duncan and Christopher Thompson in 1992.  The 1st recorded Burst of Gamma Rays thought to have been from a magnetar had been detected on 5 March 1979. 2 Soviet Satellites named Venera 11 and Venera 12 were hit by this burst at approximately 10:51 EST. 11 seconds later, "Helios 2" Satellite of NASA and later "Pioneer V

2005, Triangle UFO over Maryland

Image
  “Triangle Depiction Frank Griffin is a firm believer in extraterrestrial life, but he didn't like the eerie shadow he saw gliding across the sky behind his home in Owings Mills earlier this month. The Lockheed Martin software engineer was in his backyard looking at the stars the evening of Feb. 9, when a black triangle hovering overhead caught his eye. "It was very dark and this thing was so hard to see," he said. "But it was moving slowly, with no lights and no noise. Honestly, I didn't feel comfortable. It was sort of scary." Owings Mills, Md., is a densely populated suburb not far from a local airport, Andrews Air Force Base and the Patuxent Naval Air Station. But for Griffin, who has studied aircraft since he was a child, the object didn't look like anything he'd ever seen or heard about before. The black triangle was at a low altitude, maybe 500 to 800 feet, with no lights, he said. "It was so low, at first I thought it was something caug

WITNESS PHOTO OF A UFO OVER NASHVILLE TENNESSEE

  JULY 16, 2021………NASHVILLE TENNESSEE “I drive for a ride-share company. I was working Thursday night. I had been driving for a few hrs I decided to take a break. I pulled into this little park known as Richland Creek Greenway Trailhead. I stepped out of my car, lit a cigarette and walked around a little bit. I noticed a very bright light in the sky above the tree line. I was looking in an easterly direction. It appeared to be quite a distance away. At that moment I heard a sound that reminded me of a rocket burn coming from the north east. The sound was not loud. The white light kept moving closer and appeared to be traveling down White Bridge RD. heading west. I then see 3 red lights under the white light. The white light now had another white light beside it. It looked like head lights. As it is getting closer I am starting to see structure. It looked triangular. I notice a kind of warbling on what might be called the port side then the craft appeared to be more rectangular now. I a

MUROC ARMY AIR FIELD UFO CLOSE ENCOUNTER IN CALIFORNIA

  JULY 8, 1947 ……..MUROC CALIFORNIA    “The following is a statement given by 1st. Lt. Joseph C. McHenry, Billeting Officer, Muroc Army Air Field, Muroc, California, statement given on 11 July 1947, to Mr. Thomas A. McMillan, CIC S/A. this station.      The following statement concerning the actual observance of what has been termed as a “flying Disc” or a “flying saucer” is true and correct and it will be noted that the above mentioned observance was made by me personally while enjoying complete health in mind and body.      On Tuesday 8 July 1947, at approximately nine-thirty A.M. (09:30) was in conversation with personnel in the Post Exchange Office. My part of this conversation was as follows:      “Someone will have to show me one of these Disc (sic) before I will believe it.”      Upon leaving the Post Exchange, I went directly to my Office and before entering heard one of our local aircraft in the traffic pattern. Looking up, as I always do I observed the aircraft, and looked sl

Alien invaders will ‘crack this planet open like a nut’ warns UFO expert

Image
  “If alien visitors ever arrived to take over planet Earth, humans wouldn’t stand a chance. In fact, they’d ‘crack this planet open like a nut’, according to one famed UFO expert. Nick Pope, who investigated UFOs for the Ministry of Defence, says humans are toast if E.Ts invade because their weapon technology will probably be billions of years ahead of ours. He says sci-fi flicks where humans vanquish hordes of invading little green men are unrealistic, as their weapons would be so advanced they’d seem like ‘magic’ to us. Despite this, the UK Government says it has no plans to launch its own investigation into UFOs and the threat they could pose to Brits. But Mr Pope slammed the ‘idea we would suddenly pull something out of the bag and defeat an alien invasion’. He added: ‘Just to put this in context, the universe is nearly 14 billion years old, and there might be civilisations out there with a billion year head start on us.’ Now if you think about the difference in technology, think

ARMY HELICOPTER AND UFO COLLISION OVER CLEVELAND

Image
  OCTOBER 18, 1973 ……….CLEVELAND OHIO The following article appeared in the Nov. 4, 1973, edition of the Mansfield News Journal. It was written by a United Press International reporter. CLEVELAND —  “Army Reserve helicopter pilot Capt. Lawrence Coyne is a military commander who doesn’t believe in unidentified flying objects (UFOs) or little green spacemen. But after a near miss two weeks ago between his helicopter and a “big, gray, metallic-looking” object in the sky over Mansfield, he doesn’t know what to think. “I had to file an official report in detail to the Army on this thing,” he said. “Coyne is a member of the 316th Medical Detachment stationed at Cleveland Hopkins Airport. He was returning from Columbus at 11:10 p.m., Oct. 18, when the UFO showed up near where the Air National Guard has a squadron of jet fighters based. He said a check turned up that none of the unit’s F-100 Super Saber Jets were in the air when the UFO appeared. Coyne said when he first encountered the UFO,

1966, USS TIRU Encounters UFO

Image
“The question is often asked, why don't more military UFO witnesses come forward publicly, and provide names, dates and places? Surely they aren't REALLY intimidated by such empty threats as JANAP 146-E, which provides for hefty fines and jail sentences for breaking silence on a military UFO sighting. Surely they realize the scientific import of their sighting transcends any nationalist or mili- tary considerations. If more military witnesses don't come forth publicly, isn't it possible that there aren't really as many as hardcore ufologists would have us believe? Its a question I've often asked myself. ParaNet is deeply indebted to, and a little honored by, user Bill Cooper of Fullerton, California, for this, the first known report of a multiple military witness sighting that occurred onboard the submarine USS Tiru in 1966.

  America West Airlines Flight 564 UFO Case – May 25, 1995 By John Greenwald “A Boeing 757 piloted by Captain Eugene Tollefson and First Officer John J. Waller, was passing near Bovina, Texas. Captain Tollefson left his seat to look [at a line of regularly flashing lights]. As the lightning flashed behind the lights, it silhouetted something that to the observers appeared to be a large, dark, cigar shaped object between 300 and 500 feet in length. “Cactus 564” was a routine America West flight that began in Tampa, Florida. The final leg of the flight was from Dallas/Forth Worth into Las Vegas, the ultimate destination. On the night of May 25, 1995, Flight 564, a Boeing 757 piloted by Captain Eugene Tollefson and First Officer John J. Waller, was passing near Bovina, Texas, just across the state line from Clovis, New Mexico at about 9:25 MST. There were thunderstorms to the northeast, and the lead flight attendant was watching the lightning flashes in the night sky. This flight attendan

Stadium-sized asteroid to whizz past Earth on July 24, Nasa puts it in dangerous category

Image
 The orbit of 2008Go20, which is close to Earth, has been classified as Apollo, that holds the most dangerous asteroids. A huge asteroid, about the size of a stadium, is hurtling towards Earth at a very high speed. Named '2008Go20', the asteroid will whizz past Earth on July 24. The asteroid is cruising at over 8 kilometres per second, which is around 28,800 km/hour, a speed so high that anything coming in its way will suffer extreme catastrophe. The near-Earth object (NEO) is 20 meters wide and will be zooming by at a distance of 28,70,847,607 km, eight times the distance between Earth and the Moon. While the asteroid will safely move past Earth, its orbit close to the planet has been classified as Apollo, which holds the most dangerous asteroids. Nasa is continuously monitoring the object. Earlier in June, 2021KT1, an asteroid the size of the Eiffel Tower came close to the planet. Classified as "potentially hazardous", 2021KT1 made a close approach to Earth at a dis

Typesof black hole

Image
 A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing - no particles or even electromagnetic radiation such as light - can escape from it. The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole. There are three types of black holes : 1) Primordial Black holes – These are the smallest of black holes and range from an atom’s size to a mountain’s mass. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2) Stellar Black Holes – These are the most common of black holes and they can be up to 20 times more massive than the Sun. There is also a variety of these all over the Milky Way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3) Supermassive Black Holes – These are the largest of black holes, being more than 1 million times more massive than the Sun.

UFO ENCOUNTER IN THE OUTBACKS OF AUSTRALIA

Image
SEPTEMBER 1, 1995 ……..WILLALOOKA AUSTRALIA “What made me first notice the object was motion, I could see a string of lights that resembled the visibility lights of a semi-trailer. Wondering why there would be a truck here at this time of night I began to pay closer attention to them and quickly realised that these lights were of various colours instead of the usual amber that truck lights have. I also noticed that there was no engine sound despite the fact that the “truck” was within 100m of me, on a very still and clear night. At this point I realised that I was not looking at a truck but at a spaceship that was moving along the ground from N to S at an altitude of about 6 ft. There were no wheels, it was not an aircraft and yet it hovered silently above the ground. I was absolutely bloody terrified! No joke. The moment I realised what I was looking at I froze and it took me some time to recover my willpower. When I did I immediately turned and ran back to the house, not looking bac

UFO SHADOWS A MILITARY F-100 OVER COCO BEACH FLORIDA

Image
  NOVEMBER 8, 1956 ……..COCO BEACH FLORIDA  “About 9 a.m. on November 8th, several witnesses in Coco Beach observed two UFOs move in behind an F-l00 jet fighter. Through 7X50 binoculars, and also with the naked eye, they watched as the jet moved across the sky at about 1250 miles per hour. The UFO came up fast and the jet pilot made a tight turn, but couldn’t catch the object. It was learned later that the same object was seen earlier pursuing a rocket launched from Cape Canaveral. About two hours after the UFO pursued the jet and rocket, a mysterious object which apparently played aerial tag off the tip of Florida for several minutes before shooting into space at 4000 miles per hour was reported by a Pan American World Airways radar expert. Donald Freestone said he picked up the UFO while testing weather radar equipment in the FAA shops at Miami International Airport. Surprised by the unexpected target return on the screen, he called fellow employees. Six of his colleagues confirmed

MANY WITNESS GIANT UFO OVER THE YUKON

  DECEMBER 11, 1996 …….FOX LAKE YUKON CANADA “At a little before 8:30 pm on the evening of 11th December 1996, running along the side of Fox Lake, two witnesses, FOX2 and FOX3 who were cousins, traveling together but in separate vehicles on the Klondike Highway, would witness a “huge UFO” seemingly hovering over the frozen water. Seemingly each of them saw the bizarre and mysterious craft at the same time as each pressed down on their respective breaks in unison with the other. While FOX3 remained in his vehicle, FOX2 would exit his car in order to get a better look at the hovering, glittering craft. As he did so, it appeared to move through the air towards him. In seemingly no time at all the object was directly over the top of him. As both of the men continued to look from their respective vantage points, the object moved away from them. It would eventually disappear over a nearby hill. Each would later recall how the object was a “smooth and solid object” with various lights on the

PRINCETON EDUCATORS UFO SIGHTNING OVER NEW JERSEY

  JANUARY 17, 2020……..PRINCETON NEW JERSEY “Shape: Triangle Duration:10 minutes I am an educator at a boarding school in Princeton, NJ. I was scheduled to interview prospective students by skype from China so I was driving to campus at about 5:30 am on Friday, Jan. 17, 2020 when I noticed a strange object in a jet black pre-dawn sky. At first I thought it was clouds partially covering the moon, but the object was far too big for that. I realized quickly that it looked like a huge floating platform just hovering in the sky above a large shopping center near my house. It was black and solid, blacker than the dark winter sky, with white, and the occasional red and green lights irregularly placed around it so it looked strange and caught my eye. Since it was off at an angle and above me, it wasn’t clear if it was a rectangle shape or a triangle. It looked like a gigantic sound platform like you see at concerts but much bigger than that, hanging silently in the air. As I drove down the road

  >Unknown Object Photographed over Wurzburg, Germany “Wurzburg, Germany - March 8, 2009 Last Sunday I had a rather strange encounter with a disturbing object in the sky above Wurzburg, Germany. I was walking along the railroad lines along the river Main to scout new fishing locations. It was already pretty late, it was getting dark, I started to freeze and I wanted to move back towards the city, when I noticed the silence. There was no car, nothing. I stopped and looked around me. Although it was a pretty bad day to be out, nature had a strange beauty in the fading daylight. Suddenly I got a strange feeling in my chest, like when I was standing on a vibrating platform, but only very faint. Suddenly I felt weak and then I noticed an object in the sky. It was hovering just at the base of the deep hanging clouds and disappeared every once in awhile into the moving clouds maintaining its altitude. There was no sound except some light wind, only the strange humming feeling inside my bod

Legged Robots Do Surprisingly Well in Low Gravity

Image
  By Evan Ackerman “Here on Earth, we’re getting good enough at legged robots that we’re starting to see a transition from wheels to legs for challenging environments, especially environments with some uncertainty as to exactly what kind of terrain your robot might encounter. Beyond Earth, we’re still heavily reliant on wheeled vehicles, but even that might be starting to change. While wheels do pretty well on the Moon and on Mars, there are lots of other places to explore, like smaller moons and asteroids. And there, it’s not just terrain that’s a challenge: it’s gravity. In low gravity environments, any robot moving over rough terrain risks entering a flight phase. Perhaps an extended flight phase, depending on how low the gravity is, which can be dangerous to robots that aren’t prepared for it. Researchers at the Robotic Systems Lab at ETH Zurich have been doing some experiments with the SpaceBok quadruped, and they’ve published a paper in IEEE T-RO showing that it’s possible to tea

ALIEN ARTIFACTS ON EARTH AND IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM IS POSSIBLE, NASA REPORTS

Image
  By Tim McMillan “A 2018 report published by the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) shows the lengths America’s premier space agency is willing to consider when proving the existence of intelligent alien life.  Entitled NASA and The Search For Technosignatures, the 70-page document details all of the various ways space scientists considered intelligent extraterrestrial life might be located during NASA’s Technosignatures Workshop, hosted in Houston, Texas, September 26-28, 2018.  Numerous novel methods for detecting traces of advanced alien technology are discussed in the report. Yet one section is particularly intriguing.  Described as “interlopers,” NASA scientists discussed the potential for extraterrestrial probes to not only travel through our planetary neighborhood but also to have accidentally or intentionally landed on one or more planets or numerous natural satellites in our solar system. Even more striking, NASA says explicitly, “it is even possible that

UFO Activity Over The American Midwest

Image
  By Marcus Lowth  “The American Midwest, or “Middle America”, is perhaps not the first place we would think of when thinking of UFO sightings and strange aerial activity. There is an abundance of sightings in sunny California, for example, and just as many in and around the famous states of New York and Florida. However, UFO sightings in such states as Nebraska, Iowa, North and South Dakota, Kansas, and Missouri are just as high, if not more so. And what’s more, in some cases, these sightings date back to before the start of the twentieth century. They don’t, however, always get the widespread attention they deserve.” Credits: www.ufoinsight.com

The Center of the Milky Way is the Most Likely Place to Find a Galactic Civilization

Image
  “Aim for the Center The Milky Way is 13 BILLION years old. Some of our Galaxy’s oldest stars were born near the beginning of the Universe itself. During all these eons of time, we know at least one technological civilization has been born – US! But if the Galaxy is so ancient, and we know it can create life, why haven’t we heard from anybody else? If another civilization was just 0.1% of the Galaxy’s age older than we are, they would be millions of years further along than us and presumably more advanced. If we are already on the cusp of sending life to other worlds, shouldn’t the Milky Way be teeming with alien ships and colonies by now? Maybe. But it’s also possible that we’ve been looking in the wrong place. Recent computer simulations by Jason T. Wright et al suggest that the best place to look for ancient space-faring civilizations might be the core of the Galaxy, a relatively unexplored target in the search for extra terrestrial intelligence.” Credits: www.universetoday.com

UFO DISC WITNESSED NEAR LAKEWOOD NAVAL BASE IN N.J. 12-22-15

ALIEN DISC WITNESSED NEAR LAKEWOOD NAVAL BASE IN N.J. JUNE 1963 ……….. LAKEWOOD NEW JERSEY “I was about 12 or 13 years old. It was daytime and I was doing someones hair in the living room near the front door of the house. I heard a loud humming and fluctuating sound coming from outside. I went out to see what it was. I stood out in the middle of my front yard looking up. Trees obstructed my view until the craft slowly moved into view right above the tree top. It then stopped over me. I felt paralyzed, maybe because I was shocked. I know I was thinking, pay attention to everything you see so you don’t miss any detail and can remember what you are seeing. The craft was shaped like a disc, but it tapered in the back to a point. It was a little more round at the top and flatter(but not flat) underneath, like a disc. It had 3 elongated lights around the front, but were spaced . I saw none in the back. It was about 30-40 feet in diameter. After a few moments, it moved slowly over me and th
